Battlefield 2042 |OT| Back to the Future Part I

Haha, yeah. I'm like lvl 29 now and have seen the stadium/desert map once as well.
Got lucky there, see my post with the same approach (video) two pages back, but the Heli still throwing flares after being hacked.
Rao is probably my most played operator for whatever reason, and that is with hacking being so buggy and dodgy.
Then is it bloom in the game ? At range my bullets just go in every single other direction. It's beyond frustrating
Yeah the PP-29 is really the only weapon that feels good to me as well. The aim assist in this game seems really weird considering how big the maps and areas are .
I can usually switch between mouse and controller in games but my frame rate isn't good enough for mouse on this game but controller just feels like it's at a massive advantage here. Had no problem with controller in BF1.

Yeah, by the looks of it he's not a very popular character. Not many seem to know how to use his kit to great effect.
Dunno. I dont have issues in close/medium range and im tap firing long range so it works
Imo its the servers most of the time. bad server makes the movement jittery sometimes and the hit detection fucks up
My brother uses Rao and has always ran an Engineer/anti-vehicle class that had a rocket launcher and he loves Rao's hacking ability then following it up with the M5.
My fear is that they'll nerf it before fixing the bloom LOL
What platform? On PS5 it just looks like SDR in an HDR container without any adjust or toggle, similar to RDR2 at launch. DICE's HDR is usually quite good so it stands out, especially since I recently replayed BFV's campaign. It actually looked better in the beta since that outputted properly in SDR so the PS5 could tone map it.
PS5. It doesnt look like SDR in HDR at all. Its using the system settings. HDR looks really good with wide color gamut.
Highlights are dim and there's hardly any contrast in dark areas with mostly looking washed out, not even close to a proper black level. Like I said, I assume it's just a work in progress since DICE has had excellent HDR in their recent games but it's just a bit of a bummer right now. I think it would look outstanding on some of these maps
Not for me. It has really bright highlights and blacks are black. Also you can see all the details on the clouds for example. Something is wrong on your end
Will definitely not be venturing into breakthrough ever again. Absolutely cannot stand it. If you don't get a vehicle you either snipe or get sniped or farmed by vehicles. The game is in general an awful experience at the moment, so maybe it will be better when it feels actually playable and not a hideous lagfest.
If there's one thing I wish they'd do is start playing the victory theme at like 200 tickets or something. I believe right now it plays at 100 tickets and you can barely hear it. The victory themes are so hype (especially in Portal) that I get so bummed out you barely hear them!!!
Yeah. I've been playing Breakthrough the last hour to try and fall in love with this game, but I'm done and put in an official refund request. I'm trying to find pieces to praise, but it's just a fuckin' mess. You barely ever get to enjoy a good ole' gunfight since you're dealing with vehicle spam 24/7. It's pretty much Hovercraft Fest.
On top of all the negativity, the TAA solution is just as bad as BFV if not worst. How come they manage to fuck up visual clarity in 2 consequent games after BF1's crystal clear IQ.
Whelp 5th time the game has hard crashed my PC.
:l
I just want a good Battlefield game man is that too much to ask for?

This game was really done dirty by crossplay. I mean, I know I suck, but before disabling crossplay at the system level on Xbox, I could barely get 5 kills a match. And some of those matches were like 30 min long! I just turned it off and instantly started getting more kills. It's a shame...I like crossplay in principle, but you can't mix mouse + keyboard with the controller crowd, especially with a Battlefield game with a lot of mid-range and long-range combat. It's just not fun.
God I wish this was the game DICE choose to support long term. It's one of the more balanced BFs and it prioritizes simple fun over satisfying every single type of player.
If you want to feel any better, I play on PC and feel the same.
I feel like the maps were made with Sundance in mind and Sundance alone lol.
Its a problem considering that means there are NO medics anywhere in sight, which usually make the BS deaths in Battlefield games less annoying.

I think the bloom and aim assist problems are a bigger issue than mixed lobbies. At times this game doesn't feel like it was made with a controller in mind at all.
I've been playing BF with a controller ever since the first BC and I can't remember having as many issues with gunplay as I'm having with 2042. It's a bummer that all of the streamers and content creators that focus on BF are on PC so they won't be shining a light on the issue
Breakthrough is a clusterfuck. I wanna know ho thought this mode would be fun. Or how it should play out to be fun.
Conquest is a blast. I've never been a fan of Breakthrough--felt like a more boring version of Rush. I know people love it, though.
Attackers almost never win Breakthrough so it's kinda getting boring for me. Having fun with conquest.
I see lots of Angels and Flacks around. Medics are there. It's just hard to make them out sometimes, especially when you are down.
I really enjoyed operations in BF1 and thought I'd be more like that. But breakthrough is such a pain to play.
Yeah it's a shame that we don't have a normal rush mode anymore. That's all I used to play back in the day.
Yeah I really hope they're able to fix this issue or atleast think about adding input based crossplay. Can't really see the game living too long with the current situation
I second this, playing XsX on an E9 and HDR looks great. From the looks of it, Frostbite finally supports WCG when BFV did not. Im playing with VRR which elevates black levels and it still looks great.
My Xbox keeps dying now playing this game. What the absolute fuuuuuuukkkk. It's not even overheating
Its a known issue. There is an update patch coming in a couple days that address it.
The one positive I can praise the game for is finally, finally getting the rubber banding of terrain vehicle physics right. The beta was the same, and it's great. Whatever DICE changed in the backend of Frostbite for how it processes vehicle data across the network works so much better here than any previous game. Not that the other games are awful, but I think every Frostbite Battlefield has kinda weird, wobbly physics whenever you're driving a fast vehicle (eg: jeep). Launching off objects and crashing into shit never felt like the physics were approximating how the vehicle would actually respond, like it was struggling to synchronise the network data and so over simplified. BF2042's is the first time speeding along in a jeep and getting air flows seamlessly and feels good.
I'm talking about traversal.
Sundance makes traversing the map actually feasible, otherwise if you don't have a vehicle to call in you're running to a whole bunch of nothing.
Had enough and deleted off my ps5. And here I thought bf5 was as low as the series could get. Game is a mess and I doubt any amount of fixes will correct the core game design of awful maps/combat flow
Does BF4 and 3 have aim assist with controller on PC? I want to play then again but 4 looks horrible now on consoles and 3 was always s gimped version.
my go to for blowing up those annoying tanks that stay far away and just rain death upon you: the casper drone with c4 on it
works well when you get used to it. They never see it coming. If youa re close enough and someone shoots you with your c4s on it, they will blwo up and still destroy the tank too

One of the most unexpected things with this game is that the SMGs are some of the most potent weapons of the game lol.
Also got off a match of Breakaway Conquest first time; honestly quite enjoyable and somewhat relaxing which is where IMV best BF can be and I wish DICE would fully lean into more so than intensity.
