Battlefield Franchise Megathread v"Seriously, nobody made a new thread yet?" - Games

Big news: RSP's back and seems to be a tad bit more robust than BF1's https://www.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldV/comments/blsfks/community_broadcast_the_evolution_of_rsp/ Better late than never, but this single handedly saved the easter egg community lol

Is there a way to track the amount of people playing specific maps? I want to watch Hamada drop off a cliff as soon as servers go live.

When ever Hamada comes around, I go Support and purely build Defenses and Sandbags etc on all the points we have captured, fun thing to pass the time till the next map.

Usually when Hamada pops up, I just watch Black Hawk Down and pretend I'm in the movie. Good way to pass the time, by the time the movie is done I've almost reached the first cap point too

I feel like I'm one of the few who actually really likes Hamada Fun map to do dumb psuedo spec ops bullshit with friends in a squad or alternatively play tank or anti-tank a bunch.

My problem with Hamada is first line of defense (if we are talking about Breakthrough), I very don't like it and most time game is ending there. All other lines, especially tower with bridge are good for me.

I might reinstall when the new map releases, but given the performance dropping, I think that map will run even worse

The parasitic Chinese are tainting this game, goddamn it. Fucking shit eaters are hacking so goddamn much to compensate for their sore arms in having to package my Aliexpress order.

I managed to get in abandoned Pakwagen. During one and half minute I destroyed Archer, Valentine AA and killed few enemy soldiers. And guess what? https://s1.webmshare.com/6VL4z.webm That's right. I almost uninstalled game after this. My favorite part is when he is leaving Pakwagen after receiving damage. Why people are doing this? For trolling purpose?

The Pakwagen/T-48 M3 are multicrewed for some obscure reason despite clearly being made for single-player handling (especially considering the fact they're literal glass cannons) while tanks are not... I seriously don't understand some of the design choices from DICE sometimes, they really missed an opportunity to make the attrition system work especially well in the context of land vehicles by having heavy tanks like the Churchill/Tiger being multi-crewed just like in BF1. It would also give more reasons to chose specific types over others instead of just going for the usual "more armor/bigger guns" vs "light and agile/weak armament".

My guess would be that the Tara Dogs are multi seat because back in BF1 there was a bit of a problem with people spawning themselves the gun truck and just sitting in the back with it for the whole game. That being said, I think that issue is fixed just by the Tank Destroyers being requisition items rather than normal vehicles.

Every change to the Tank Destroyers was made in reaction to the design of BF1's Artillery Trucks, from the limited numbers to the seat and weapon overhaul and crew vulnerability. If it were kept exactly as it is now with only one main Driver-Gunner seat with 'gadget' options for that seat, at least one other Passenger/Gunner seat and a spawn slot for the squad, it would be a viable, balanced option for a call-in unless someone in the squad takes it without getting how to use it. They're vulnerable enough without being wasted as taxis by idiots who keep saying PTFO without knowing what it means.

Been playing BF3 for the past few days and really liking it. Was so happy to find a CQ only server on Domination that still had players on. Fucking got banned on it for cheating??? and it really pisses me off because it's the only server

Why is every skin in the piece of shit live service for the same three weapons

https://youtu.be/3kOpE_6i5qo no wonder BF is going to shit when JackFrags is complaining about the most mundane shit, F2P firestorm and Dinosaurs in bf, why are the BF content creators so stupid

Their entire channels are based totally on BF and when the content gets dry, they'll be looking for anything resembling a straw to stretch 10 minute videos out of. Should've seen them during BF1's horrid content drought between the French and Russian DLC. At least BF4 had its absolutely broken state and subsequent fixing throughout its first year being good topics to make videos of.

BF4 actually had fucking content

I honestly don't like the new visibility update. I don't know if there's anything else they've changed, but I seem to be having a lot more trouble seeing and actually killing people now. I am also getting killed by people camping in the corners and rubble as much as before. I mean, thanks to the rimlighting effect, you're slightly more visible in dark corners, but the character model now appears to blend in more with anything illuminated by the sun, especially on Hamada, Narvik and Fjell. I wanted to see what it looks like on the Panzerstorm night map, but I couldn't find it in the server list. Additionally, I am very disappointed that they're re-adding cosmetics, which were previously available for purchase with CC, and changing their rarity to Epic and charging you real money for them. That's just scummy.

The visibility update's been fine for me as they help a lot with Devastation and Rotterdam while not really changing anything much to Hamada, Arras and the like. Fuckers who like to sit in corners now light up like a Christmas tree and I'll gladly take that and shove a Drilling up their ass anyday over the fuck fest we had pre-update. The manual leaning is pretty neat and I find use from it in oddball locations you can only reach using parkour, so it's a nice addition on top of the various other core gameplay improvements. As for the cosmetics, it's fucking shitty they did that and further shows how utterly disconnected the people running the armory are. The unnecessarily slow rotations and lack of CC purchasable shit shows that they're so incompetent that they don't even know whether they want to satisfy the whales or non-whales and end up pissing off both.

The new anti tank rifle is pretty odd, I'm on the masteries for it already. It plays in such a strange way, I hate bipodding anywhere but it's pretty fun to bomb around with and you can get some pretty hilarious hip fire kills. Its gonna get nerfed though 100 percent. They will shorten it's one hit kill range and probably make the hip fire a lot worse if I had to guess, I dont think it needs a nerf because it's so situational and you are a really easy target when using it.

Made a thing. https://youtu.be/a-eTrml-HKw

Additionally from datamining https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/239670/24d0af57-fec0-4fa7-8cab-c1f88c03f4ee/image.png

Still no new combat roles. Like they could remove them completely. Another untapped potential

Hopefully they're experimenting with new ones via the 5 v 5 mode which they'll then add into the main modes. The ones that were datamined are basically other combat roles. Like, infiltrator for recon pops back up there.

Hope so! There are few elements which makes this game very good for me (requisition points, combat roles, fortifications) and I hope they will become a permanent in BF series. Too bad mostly they don't work correctly. Don't even try to call Churchill Crocodile on Devastation, it's not working since game launch and tank is not respawning. I tried to report this everywhere, but I'm ignored.

Dear lord, Mercury is basically a BF1 map shoved into BFV Fucking chaotic explosive spam with very little cover AKA peak BF1 map design also got this cool shot https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/265780/e073364b-08a1-4260-b295-eba33b910212/image.png

It pissed me off that they quietly removed their original idea for combat roles, that being actual combat roles instead of minor buffs, where only Machine Gunners could use MMGs and there were Saboteur Scouts. As they are now they're basically pointless and there's a clear winner for each class.

Fucking hell, guys. I get accused of hacking for the pettiest shit almost every game... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNgmagOWxko&feature=youtu.be Like, my K/D could be 55/50 and I'd still get accused of having aim bot and wallhack on, ffs.
