just noticed this but when you fire the rifle grenade and reload the player racks the bolt thus chambering a new blank that's fuckin cool
Tanks feel much weightier than they did in BF1 and the new turret traverse system works great in 3rd person where it feels like War Thunder. Sadly, it feels clunky as shit in 1st person as your mouse sensitivity is now matched and capped to the turret traverse, making the thing feel clumsy in 1st person in an unpleasant way.
i just spent like 3 minutes fortifying a house and then they just drove a tank through the front door and collapsed everything
The fortifications work MUCH better on Rotterdam. Excluding obvious bugs and load out restrictions this game feels amazing right now, especially compared to BF1. I think by the time BFV has been out for about a year and had some updates it could be a really really fun shooter. The weight (everything just feels more weighted somehow) and more hardcore game mechanics make a huge difference.
Squads have been fixed with a server patch it seems.
You can bypass that by temporarely renaming nvapi64.dll in system32 folder. P.S. I HATE that you can't turn off TAA at all
agreed
How is the nvidia highlight system supposed to work? It kept 3 clips from my first round but it wouldn't take any more
I hate TAA and I hate that its becoming the norm
Yeah, it's such a blurry AA with horrible ghosting that does opposite of improving visuals and somehow it's only option this days Hopefully this is more than bullshit PR talk: http://puu.sh/BpIqU.png
Why the fuck would TAA be on by default
Back your halftrack with carriage in tow and watch yourself spazz the fuck out Also, they seriously need to buff the AA gun
Well aside from the weirdly weak Lee Enfield No.4 (combined with some imperfect hit reg and low velocity I've no idea how to use thing for long range shooting), the glitchy bipod deployment animation for LMGs and some guns having their sight options locked away for no real reason, and the really really strange Rifle Grenade Launcher, I'm having a whale of a time. Rotterdam's a lot of fucking fun, the fortifications have created some really dope moments and the guns are a joy to use. Feeling pretty confident about buying this bad boy.
I played two matches, it's alright. Get roughly the same performance as I do in BF1 which is to say, pretty bad. Still the only two games that I struggle to run on lowest settings. There also seems to be the occasional server side lag that happened in alpha where you will get into a gunfight with someone, kill them while taking no damage, then take the damage or straight up die a full second later. It's cool that you can go into so many buildings on Rotterdam but I feel like it's a bit too complex, especially around the one point (B?) where you are basically surrounded by windows trying to cap. On the positive side, I really like the gunplay and fortifications are neat as heck. Someone blew one of the bridges earlier on then me and someone else rebuilt it and our Crocodile crossed. The map itself looks great and it's probably the best alpha/beta map they have had for a BF game, but I do have a bias towards infantry centric gameplay. The change to the resupply/attrition system is a perfect compromise between the alpha and a game like BF1 or BF4. I'm rather like it. I'm still on the fence about buying just because of the performance issues though.
Neat fact, if you remove the scope off the enfield you can reload with stripper clips as per usual, but if you put a scope on it you have to reload each shot. So an empty reload takes significantly longer with a scope than with irons.
I'm already doing some war thunder style fuckfests by circling Tigers around as a Valentine and almost winning just by fast the thing scoots away from the Tiger's turret. With this improved tank-play, I sure hope that Afrika and maybe Kursk will have more than 5 tanks per team in action like Golmud. Shit is just so much fun and feels much better than the slow go-carts of past tanks.
A point on Rotterdam is terrible. You shouldn't be able to cap from Above on the tracks.
Ah, the game runs better than I expected with my 1070 at 1440p maxed.
What's your CPU? Atm I'm running on low as I think my CPU's too shitty to handle the game despite my 1060
Ryzen 5 1600. Usage seems to be around 60%.
So ive always like BF more than Cod (terrible at BF and decent at Cod) and playing this beta is really, really fun. Im actually useful!
I have an i5 4590. It BF1 more than fine until they did the big netcode patch, which destroyed performance for people with 4 core processors in general and i5's in particular. Which is why I'm on the fence; despite it running tolerably, it's entirely possible that 6 months into the games release they will do a major behind-the-scenes update that tanks performance again.
Beta is a lot of fun thus far, it's full of glitches and the initial LMG is balls ass weak, but it's been a long time since I played some BF proper and I'm loving being a support monkey again.
hate to sound like a shill but be sure to post complaints and bugs on the forums and on reddit so the devs can see them so they can be fixed!
beta runs alright on a 1080Ti and i7 4790k, but for it to properly utilize the gpu i had to set the res scale to 150 (which is what i do in bf1 as well) and now it seems to chug way less but it still doesnt run my gpu up to 2088mhz where it should be it just gets to like 1911mhz and its done, but im maintaining above 70 fps so i guess its ok. either way it runs better than bf1
Thank god snipers are nerfed where no one really plays it now unless you know what you're doing.
https://youtu.be/lBz9lyoioQQ?t=264 holy fuck
Snipers were a bit over the top in alpha but I hope the K98 wasn't nerfed too hard. "Sniping" with the Lee Enfield is physically painful.
does anyone here know how to build barbed wire btw? i've seen some other folk do it and i can't for the life of me figure it out
Press T to bring out the tool kit. Barbed wire might be a thing only Support can build though, they get to build special fortifications.
