Nope. They'll confirm the date of the 4.2 update tomorrow.
THE UI is mess. the menu runs very badDealing with disappearing menus all weekend playing with a mate was super annoying.
How is this a thing 6+ months after launch?
That's a given with DICE games. Every single game has the same problems with the UI/Menus.
Yeah but I think the menu got worse with each new game. I think it was pretty okay with BF1
It was certainly better than BFV, but it also had that super annoying thing that all DICE games have: constantly getting notifications that you have new stuff unlocked that you already unlocked ages ago.
I remember Star Wars Battlefront having great menus. I don't remember what Star Wars Battlefront II had.
Battlefield 1 menus were good as they were snappy and to-the-point. They sensibly allowed me to pick a loadout from the map menu instantly and efficiently. Battlefield V is an embarrassingly unintuitive clusterfuck of horrible ideas. And that's when it works, given it spent so many months a mess of rendering bugs. DICE has literally no coherency at all, and no sensibility, no attention to usability, in their menu design. For all the defence people might have for their direction and vision, there is undeniably something fucking broken in their pipeline when it comes to UI. Battlefield V's UI and information feed is fucking awful, and straight up regressive from Battlefield 1.
Despite my earlier bitching, tonight alone I managed to get all the assignments for this week's Tides of War tonight. It was mostly just an awful, unfun experience. The first half ways okay, but the latter half was a grind against an immensely stacked team that continued to steamroll us match after match. No team balance, of course. Same unstoppable players stacking the same team over and over. Little in the ways of balancing our player bleed from people feed up with the shit.
I'm sorry for always coming into this thread and whining all the damn time. It's a guilty pleasure for a franchise I really wish I didn't feel this way about. An odd, contradictory viewpoint there. I just...I dunno. Kinda wish DICE would throw in the towel, fix the bugs, and leave this game as is. Move on to Battlefield 6 and dont see it released until end of 2021 minimum.

That would send the completely wrong message. They should do the opposite and delay the next Battlefield to do a relaunch of 5 to make it a complete game up to par with it's predecessors.
But that will never happen under EA.
Oh absolutely. I just personally don't have a lot of faith in the future of the game. As I've said many times before I think there's a lot of love beating at the heart of Battlefield V, but the overall vision and post launch support does not reflect or support it. I'd love for there to be some massive content drop, series of patches, or whatever that elevates the experience. But just like I've soured on the map design over time, I honestly think Battlefield V is busted at its core, and has no evidence of a coherent vision.
Even with the Pacific front stuff people are excited for, I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if the actual launch was a lukewarm mess of drip feed content and bugs. I literally expect it at that point.
If they do succeed at bringing Battlefield V up to scratch, I still want them to take their time with Battlefield 6. Fuck off this cross gen launch bullshit. Target a single generation of hardware. Spend an enormous amount of time forming a coherent vision for the type of game to be made, stick to it, and ensure Frostbite is fully up to scratch to support it. I'll happily wait 4 - 5 fucking years if the next Battlefield drops as a complete, solid, focused project.
I'm really wary of the Pacific content. Players expect islands and carriers, which means Conquest Assault, which players don't like. Try sorting that out. The boats were not good in BF1 either. The physics and the game play were both very basic.
I'm a little more optimistic about the core of the game but I do agree that the next Battlefield needs to wait. And it needs to be a complete, finished product so their post-launch support actually comes out to schedule.
I thought the boats in the turning tides expansion were fun. We should be able to drive them all. I want to ram that Aircraft carrier into the island.
Same on pc. A large number of players in every match will just be laying prone on some isolated cliff in corner of map with their mmg. On offense and defense
They just having fun. That's the beauty of battlefield. you can do whatever you want. Sometimes I like to just drive a jeep around the map.
EA Access and time limited modes are a bad combination. Rush is a bit more complicated than the other modes as well, even if this version is a bit of a meat grinder.
I'm seeing players static and almost welded to the m-coms getting easily picked off by attackers and players going nowhere near, then quitting when both m-coms are set at the same time. There's a general badness to the quality of play in this Battlefield, a disregard for the classes and gadgets and levels of team play that are so low that I wonder if random players see it enough to understand it. The not moving play style will not help people in Rush.
why not just join an empty server instead of lowering the quality of experience for everyone else in the match?
Does the update fix invisible players or is Dice still pretending that this doesn't exist?
Continual bugs with textures not loading, so it keeps getting delayed.
It's apparently broken with some sort of graphical glitch/bug that they won't explain, detail or show what it is.
I hope that DICE takes some real action against all the damn aim botting, there isn't a day that goes by where I don't run into at least one guy botting with a Lewis Gun sniping your entire team across the map. I think that's causing more damage to the community then the stupid invisibility bug.
It is only on PC. Get a console, peasant.
I don't understand how is this possible:
So 2 months to fix useless 5-damage mines? That is even worse than the fucking deflect bug in BF1 which took 1 month to fix. It did allow me to 1vsAll using a high-explosive French tank, because the deflect bug affected armor-penetrating projectiles like shells and rockets.
So I tried setting the steady weapon/hold breath function to my ADS key... totally works. Never really bothered with steady weapon before but this pretty much eliminates any sway that'd get in your way. Sure you get exaggerated sway for like a second when you breath out again but 99.9% of the time I don't ADS for that long anyway.
For anyone who can't be arsed to press an additional button when aiming medic or recon rifles.

> Only 3 populated west coast conquest servers tonight
> join first 2, each has an obvious 80+ kill spin botter in them everyone is yelling at in chat, immediately leave
> third server is a lopsided match, at one point the other team 10 players up. It never got better over 4 maps. Thanks for no team switch guys.
Battlefield 5 everybody.

As someone who recently complained about it ( not limited to AT mines btw, it's also true for dynamite )........ lol, here goes another entire month with that bug.
On a somewhat similar note, I recently came to like the M1907 SF... which give me a rare opportunity to spend CC on something.
Here is a quick photoshop showing the difference between what I see in the costumize menu and how it actually look like outside of that menu :
Let's not even focus on the fact everything has a diffferent luminosity which change it's entire look. The Night Owl stock is so bugged it goes from black to freaking brown.
Can't anything work somewhat correctly ?
I agree. Do whatever you want. It's a game and meant to be fun.

But has it been a month really? I wonder what the next patch is gonna break. Guess we will find out tomorrow.
I never thought I would see the day that Battlefront 2 is a better sorted package than BF5 but here we are.
Patch notes are out.
Looks extremely weak. For me, mainly fixing invisible bug and PS4 stutter bug, but thats fixing shit that they broke lol.
Rest are some small fixes for guns I don't use.

Why would you nerf the revolver? BF V sidearms are already the weakest in the series.
Also these are the full patch notes. So it's a light patch. I guess I'll look forward to the 4.4 next month and the rank increase.

At some point they will maybe understand that people don't use it because it's too good,but because it's the only worthwhile side arm. At some point people will choose to melee or reload mid fight over switching to a sidearm because of those nerf.
Unsuprisingly nothing is done with the balance of planes or AA this patch.
Also the changes to the P08 are bizarre. The gun is fine. There are a ton of other weapons that actually need tuning and they pick the P08. It's like they just threw darts at a board and it landed on the P08.
Because it managed to erase normal illusion of choice BF games have by being fucking OP. You could easily use it was primary weapon as you can two tap everyone from hip with good RPM.
With how little DICE seems to actually care about balance and letting meta flavor of year just linger around I'm amazed they even tuned Revolver this much.
Vehicle balance is also absolute joke that they have done nothing about for long time, not since they made airplanes flying fortresses.
Edit: I think you have no sense of proper balance if you think revolver shouldn't be adjusted

reads like this isnt a full fix for invisible soldiers. no mention of fixing ADS is unfortunate as thats a pretty major problem. no mention of team balance. improved performance is a big one if it materializes. the cpu performance in this title is seriously problematic.
Took em about a year or so to get Battlefront II to its current state. Im going to give BFV a few months to see how it is.
:p
What's Al Sundan?
:p
A map they clearly scrambled together in a hurry to try to appease the public outcry for the lack of content. And it shows quite a bit. :p
You don't say, there is already more time separating it's futur conquest release and the originaly planned release date, than there was between between it's announcement at E3 and that supposed release date ( 27 june ).
Everything following the E3 announcement should have been riding the hype of what was supposed to be a pretty good stream of content ( maps ) and improvement ( max rank, private server ) leading to the pacific content release... yet the following 2 month have been almost more disapointing than the previous 6-8 months.... which is quite a feat to say the least.
What changes? the specializations have been broken for 3 months. You can't select any right now.
edit: just saw a reduction in recoil and increased muzzle velocity, that's fine. Gun loses to literally everything DPM wise anyways. C96 will replace it.
It's actually a very sensible nerf. I don't think anyone capable of hitting their shots will stop using it, the damage (finisher) and one hit headshot potential is still too much to give up. It will do away with McCree's that hip spam it at close range, that's where it is too effective and reward bad players.

Patch is a bit smaller for a change, 5 GB.
It takes +30 minutes to prepare, only 10 minutes to download then another +30 minutes of finalizing.
I'll never understand this.

That's was kind of the very least we could expect when patch content goes from 6 pages long to 5 lines long, and released after 4 weeks not 2.
Not that I still didn't expect some surprises mechan... bugs.
That's a nice touch. Still crossing finger we will be able to do the same with character appearance at some point.
