Oh thank you. That does help me a lot with picking my guns. I didn't really know where some of the new ones stand.
Kinda wish FPS games would give me the option to see raw stats instead of bars. Seeing all the numbers for the guns would make this easier, especially with balance changes.
Yeah, any useful stats you have to dig through the game files. A weapon could do 30 damage per hit and that would make it a 4 shot kill. Then you could have another weapon that did 34 damage per hit and that would make it a 3 shot kill. However, in game all you see is a tiny increase on the bar and you think it's not a big deal, however, that's a huge deal in game, especially on slower firing weapons.
I get it, most players don't even care and just pick whatever they like. However, it would be nice to see some stats. For instance, BF1 had damage and damage dropoff that would be useful to see again. However, that was still flawed because you had to guess at the damage values, the x axis had the distance, but the y axis didn't have damage values.

There are very good comparison videos for most guns that show valuable stuff like the effect of each upgrade path and the recoil pattern. It's the same user behind all of them but I can't recall the name right now.
Some autos have really terrible horizontal recoil that'll mess you up when you're at the level where headshots start to matter. So apart from visible stats you need to find guns that are easily controllable for you. That's pretty much the only time that the practice ground is usable, though just barely since you can't use specializations.

One thing I miss the most is adjustable zoom levels for iron sights/sights
Cannot gauge the quality of the map. Whenever I play, the team balance is just off and it is either 30 vs 20, or one team rolling another.
There is a spot in Waterfall near Breakthrough A where people can literally swim in the air. The terrain climbing/vaulting is still off.
Meh, will revisit for when the next map drops.

Al Sundan gives me hope for the future of this game, despite some of the remaining bugs.
Also can DICE please bring back the medic helmet for the allies because I want my teammates to know I'm a god damn medic

This player base is so fucking dumb. Attacking on Al Sundan we are at the first point and have three Sturmtigers just pummeling the point. Yet, nobody will get on it. My squadmates just sit in the Sturmtigers extra seats and just spam randomly doing nothing. These aren't new plays either; they are all 50s and 60s. We finally take the point, but I already know we are fucked. There is a Recon player on my squad that is a 72 and fucking 2-13. Like wtf are you doing? How can you play that much and be completely oblivious.
This community always amazes me how fucking dumb it is. All these Recon players, but hardly any of them uses Flares or Spotting Scope. BuT i Am PrOvInG CoVeRiNG FiRe AnD KiLliNg PlaYeRs.

More RIP pilots.
I'm guessing it's for the Pacific.

I can't tell you how many times I've had to lead the charge to take a flag or take point on building defenses and manning artillery to take out armored attackers completely by myself.
Having spent some time in overwatch OT threads, i have come to understand how these players think.
Just had the same, last objective on Al Sundan there are guys all over the hills and it's like we've completely occupied that area next to the hanger, players won't go in though. You see the score board at the end of every round, I swear half the players in this game have no idea what they're doing or how the game works.
There seem to be loads of very low rank players around today as well, which is sort of good, but they tend not to be much help. One of the youtubers needs to do a proper tutorial, just not a play like a youtuber one.

All the weapon assignment masteries (mint and golden skins) should be automatically tracked. It's so senseless that you have to pick and choose which ones you want to work on. If you're using that weapon, it should count! What is the difference between selecting it and getting those kills and not selecting it getting those kills? Nothing. Plus to make matters even worse you can't even pick assignments between matches. So you just finished your golden stock, now you have to exit the server to pick the assignment for your golden magazine.
What's weird, is that if you start the assignment, and you switch it after advancing with it, it saves your progress for later, and tracks the new one. So I don't think it's really that way to force more grinding, I think it's just a bad design
It's there to help the math on the CC grinding assignments.
I can't even understand how anybody could this mad over something so silly. Its been happening in every Battlefield ever, it will continue happening.
I hate this fanbase. Every game Im feeling in Breakthrough feels ruined by snipers who aren't even overlooking that bridge, and just sniping some dudes across the open field. I really hate snipers in this game. Feels like everybody is a sniper. There's never more than 3 support players either.
I dont understand why this player base is so awful. In a game like COD, it's like everyone is an absolute expert, but in Battlefield, you get complete airheads. It doesn't feel like this was always the case either, I recall a lot of smarter players back in BC2 and BF3 days that knew how to push on objectives.
I like modes like Breakthrough and Frontlines, but the player base always ruins it. I cant get over how many Frontline games Ive played where snipers make up the team and just stand around and lose the momentum for this mode.
Only way for payers to move with confidence is if you pop smoke, which always feels like Im the only one doing this. I feel like people dont run smoke because it gives you no points at all. But it literally is a game changer in getting teams to push.
The map feels pretty fun though, and I just really hope BFV can start their journey of making some kind of redemption. I know we're not seeing Siege levels of comeback, but please, just nail the Underground map, and actually deliver the 3 Pacific maps by December, and then maybe we can see a turnaround. Hopefully those Pacific maps are actually good.
If they can add a few combat roles and gadgets, even better. Do you guys think we'll see anything promising in 2020? Are we seeing a few more Pacific maps? there's no promise of support after Pacific right? Im guessing the Pacific focuses also on naval warfare

I just tried the new update.
Hopefully things will change on BF-BC3 next year.
- Map feels empty in Conquest, due to flag position
- BT is a clusterfuck on the first set (bridge)
- Plenty of sniper camping in every match + guys proning with MG in the bushes ruining the expirience.
- Game feels much more optimized, runs smother and is less blurry. I give them that.
- Gunplay is very good and the best improvement from other BF games.
Hopefully things will change on BF-BC3 next year.
Cant say I agree at all
this map feels like an instant classic on conquest
there is tons of action on the flags and they all feel unique— elevated mountains, valleys, open tank areas, an airstrip
its easily reminding me of BF1943 especially with the verticality
i dont like breakthrough because of stupid snipers in first part but the breakthrough map gets better if you progress
not finding issues with snipers in CQ as Im using 3x scopes on my classes
These are the kinds of maps we really needed. And i also liked mercury though that map could have been bigger.
I really hope there is no BF next year. Battlefront 2 was released two years ago, with no Battlefront 3 coming this year, allowing it to improve. A BF next year is doom for BFV.
This game is supposedly about teamwork, but in reality it's just an illusion. For instance, in something like OW, you have to play as a team. Sure, you might pop off with an ult here and there, but to enjoy the game you have to be in a team oriented mindset. That's just how the game was designed. Then you have something like CoD. It's the complete opposite, teammates don't matter really and you can run around being a one man army and do well.
Then you have BF and players treat it more like CoD. Sure, there are revives, giving out ammo, and etc., but players only do it for the points or when it's convenient for them. I had a squadmate Medic just staring at me when I was at low health. Then he just went and started shooting at stuff too far away for a smg. I had to manually go up to him and press E to get some health. I'm actually glad they added that mechanic because players just don't play their role. They just run around like they are Assault or they sit far back and try to snipe.
If it wasn't for the score and points aspect of the game, I'm sure all this "teamwork" you see would be gone. If it doesn't benefit them, they aren't going to do it. Players sure love to cry about Medics not reviving, but when it's their turn to revive they don't do it.
MMGs are another good example. If I get killed by a MMG that is actually playing and defending an objective that's fine. However, more often than not, they are in some obscure spot not even close to any objective just waiting for some person to walk by and get a kill. I had a squadmate name Machine Gunner Mike or something. He just laid on roofs all game with a MMG. The only time he moved is when he died.
However, there's not much more DICE can do about it. They can't force players to play like a team. Sure, they can add incentives with score and points. However, most don't seem to care and only care about a cool sniper kill or getting some easy kills with a MMG.
I do like it, but it's very easy for the hills above A, D and F to be full of players and the actual flags to be quieter. Needs a couple of weeks to see how it shakes out of course.
Map is fine, like a Battlefield map should be. It's just the mode design in CQ that should be change to make it less empty in same situations. And also in BT where the attackers suffer and doesn't really have a chance.
Oh, it will.
We will see how telemetry is now over the weekend and if there are things to shift / improve short and long term.
Put a HUGE board with lights pointing to the objective saying "YOU NEED TO GET IN HERE; GO!"
In CQ, I think that the road between A to F is a bit unused, but probably data shows otherwise
There need to be more of those little fast moving jeeps spawning at A and F. Taking one of the tracked vehicles is like painting a giant target on yourself.
I agree that Al Sundan needs smaller and faster transports. It's the perfect map for the Schwimmwagen since there is that river delta area. Also this would make a great map for the helicopter from FS. Those are two transports that would add a lot to the map.
I'm not sure I'd want helicopters in multiplayer proper.
The helicopter for Firestorm is just a small transport. It doesn't have any weapons or anything. It holds the pilot and three other players. It would be a nice way to get across the map. They could make it only spawn at the airfield.
Played a bit more Al Sundan Breakthrough/Conquest and the map is growing on me for good.
BFV has a really solid map selection now imo. Looking forward to the Pacific update, it is there where the fate of BFV will be decided. I have good feelings overall for the future of the game after the latest update:)

Already denied by Dice on reddit. We should indeed have something else than V1s in the pacific but it won't be this.
We'll more likely have super strong artillery strikes from battleships.
Battleships would make sense.
USA would be cool if a bunch of B-29 just bombed the area. Kind of like the bombers from 1943.
It's insane how much Battlefield would improve by taking on the class limitations that other warfare based FPS do such as Insurgency, Rising Storm, Squad, etc. So tired of teams with over half of them being snipers. Unfortunately DICE will never put a limit on them because that would piss off the large base of wannabe Vassili Zaitsevs who just sit on a hill the entire game and make the match hell for everyone else, including their teammates.
I know, but that part of me which became a fan of the licence discovering bf1942 with the demo ( Wake Island ) is still hoping that it would go back to it's original scope or even bigger, which mean sea battle. :'(
I wouldn't count out playable battleships. That's essentially what the Dreadnought was from BF 1, plus on Lofoten Island there is a model built already. They have everything they need for it.
What I'm guessing is:
Non playable aircraft carrier. Default spawn point.
Playable battleship and destroyer, similar to BF 1.

Nah, that's a low poly model made to sit in the background it's not nearly etailed enough to be a player controlled vehicule. And detailing these kind of things can take a long time.
Furthermore, battleships are massive, you'd need huge ass playable maps for one to move in it. Like, 4 times Panzerstorm, at the very least.
So no, at best, a battleship would be a static piece of decor where the player would only be able to operate a turret or something.
It's a completely rendered model. BF 1 literally had a battleship and destroyers you could move around. There is no reason they couldn't do the same for BF V. They already reuse a lot of assets from BF 1.
I know players are setting low expectations for the Pacific, but I'm not going that low.
Look at your screenshot. There's probably more polys on a soldier than on this entire ship. And the ships that could move in BF1 where much smaller than a world war 2 battleship. My expectations may be too low but yours are clearly too high.
My expectations are too high because I think they'll add something they already did in a previous game? Also talking about size doesn't make much sense. Since when has BF been an accurate depiction of the real thing? Sure, they use real assets when making their games, but this isn't a sim. They take liberties with their design choices. They scale down things all the time.
Wouldnt matter if they were good
but they go like 5-9 all game
why couldnt they give snipers the artillery strike from bc2 or REALLY long range flares.
