Nice
Really hope Dice continues to support the mode in the future with the Pacific.
My biggest concerns with the game atm.
Team balancing- It just doesn't exist. To make matters worse, matches start extremely lopsided. A team will start with +10 more players, it kills servers. Something needs to be done with starts and balancing. This is the worst it has ever been in a BF game.
Cheaters- It's comical at this point. You just expect one to be in every game you play. I just posted someone going 150-3 and has over a day of playtime and has yet to be banned. That's why players want private servers so much; at least the mods can ban cheaters from them.
Performance- Still isn't great, it's passable, but I wish it was better. I'll be running around with 80-90 frames and it'll just dump to 30-40 for no reason whatsoever. Changing my settings doesn't matter, I just constantly have dips and fluctuation. Then you have something like BF 2, which runs and looks amazing. I understand there is probably a bit more happening in BF V, however, DICE's previous titles such as Battlefield 1 and Battlefront 2 I never had a single issue with performance and they look great, even better than BF V at times.
With the Pacific coming, I'm good with content. That's not any issue for me. I just wish these issues, which have plagued the game since launch would get ironed out.

Started playing my ps4 copy again, trying to get it caught up to my pc progress. Feels good to play again! Was 50/50 on Al Sundan but it quickly grew on me. Still catching up with some of the other maps that were added and I REALLY need to give Firestorm a shot. Love that medics have rifles now too, since that's basically all I play.
First 2 should be the top priority for fixes.
The content of the game would be a whole lot better with proper team balance. The other day we were on Al Sundan BT, which is absolutely fantastic, but the server was 26 vs 13.
What's funny is that new players were added to the server, and we ended 30 vs 13 lol
I don't believe for a second they don't have metrics that show them how often this happens, yet it has not been talked about once yet. It's annoying.
Can't tell much since it's just the top, but here's the layout.
Is that from Operation Underground? If so I rather want to fight out in the open than in the tunnels. A shame to waste such a nice layout.
Well, 2 out of 3 flags are in the open. You'll definitely fight in the open.
Thats like a lowkey insult to me and Im not a casual.
Tbh, I just miss the Martini Henry. Im either on point with my shots or I get destroyed by anyone.
Sector 1 and 3 in Breakthrough are in the open. Flags A and C in Conquest are in the open.
That's a good answer.
It's clear that the game need improvements in key areas, specially QoL, but sometimes, little stuff make up the rough areas and can make a game look better, having a better presentation of what's already there. Like, for example, the lack of the commander voicelines in the Panzerstorm Grand Operation, well and the black screen with the white text, could be an area of improvement. Having a rotating menu screen, etc. I guess those would take resources for more important stuff.
Other than that, these "cosmetic" (in the sense of presentation), could make a big impact on how the game is recieved. You can have the same content, but perhaps adding French and Italians would already make it better.
elenarie by the way, I think that the Pre-end of round music in Al Sundan sometimes is bugged. When the team has few tickets or the last objectives are falling, the music doesn't kick in like it does in Squad Conquest
Good to know but I was more talking about just walking down the streets from A to C. Would also be a good way to reduce the notorious meatgrinding on the map. But who knows, maybe it won't be so bad to begin with with this iteration.

OT2 is coming up faster than I tho. Any suggestions for a new thread title? Also if someone wants to make it, feel free to copy and past the OP.
Something Pacific Theater related. Maybe a play on the Sleeping Giant quote.
still need to fix sound, animation, team balancing, cpu performance and anti cheat to be there imo
OT2: Awakening the DICE Devs
OT2: We shall battle Underground, we shall battle on the Beaches, we shall battle whatever the delay may be
OT2: Letters from the Patch Notes
OT2: Ich bin geschlagen, flick mich SANITÄTER!

Stupid tiger, ive been pessimistic about the game, but i dunno his words just infused me with optimism.
Had some great matches last night on Al Sundan. It's shaping to be one of my favorite maps on Breaktrough.
I was at the top of the scoreboard when I got it with the infinite bleedout bug though :( coulnd't spawn anymore
haha I'm sorry
Yeah, that would be great. I would happily play with controller from time to time when I'm tired of office work but still wanna play BFV

We shall see how things turn. Probably going to be a thing for all future games we release, but not sure if it will be "back ported" to current releases.
Would require complete re-architecture of our networking stack and all of the backends.
One other immediate thing is that our PC servers run with 60 hz tick rate, and our console servers with 30. So we cannot pair PC with consoles even if it was as simple as turning on a switch. The experience will be bad whatever way we go. Maybe next-gen? Will see.
Wow I never even knew this. When 60Hz servers became a thing back at BF4 I assumed it was for every platform from now on. What's the reason for this?
I'd say costs. Why bother upgrading the servers to 60Hz when the players playing on them will most likely never see something above 40 fps ?
That will be very much possible on the next gen consoles, where 60hz servers can easily fit the consoles.
So you can pair 60 hz PC servers with 60hz consoles servers and everyone will be happy :)
Got my brother to redownload before Underground drops, might see about picking up some talent juice (Read: Rum) in celebration!
In a nutshell, the current gen console CPUs are too weak to handle 60 updates per second of networked data. The performance cost rises exponentially the more players there are on the servers. Higher tick rate requires the clients to do more network-related updates work which lowers down the overall performance. With us trying to target 60 fps gameplay even on base kits, all while trying to push the tech forward, things get quite tricky and challenging.
There are no servers to "upgrade" so the cost of actually running servers at 60 hz instead of 30 hz is not an issue. It is just a config switch so we could turn on 120 hz servers for consoles if we wanted to. But then your Xbox / PS would start to melt. It's all limited by the performance of the clients.
Maybe next gen this won't be an issue. :)
Ok, thanks for explaining. Feels weird since the new CoD has 60Hz servers as well appearantly and has to have them for consoles as well because of crossplay. But it also has a much smaller scope of course. Will be interesting to see how the release version of Ground War will stack up against Battlefield.
Can players actually tell the difference between 30Hz and 60Hz servers? I mean if you don't tell them what the rate is, and they play for a while, can they actually tell? Popular games have had server rates down to 20Hz. I think there are a ton of quality of life improvements for gamers that are more important, such as team balancing, population size, cheating, and so on.
Right, but I don't know if you got a chance to play that beta but the low tickrate of Ground War caused a lot of issues with shoot first die first and corner killing.
In comparison BFV's netcode, even at 30hz with destruction, is so much more robust it's crazy.
Played only a few rounds, so didn't really give it a proper try. Will do probably over the next few months when it comes out. End of this month, I guess?
Played some Al Sundan for the first time today, didn't really feel it coming right out of the CoD Beta. Will try to adapt to BFV again though, especially with tomorrow's drop.
Do we know at what time Operation Underground will unlock? I assume there won't be a patch right? (PS4)
Also elenarie, could you make a statement regarding the issue where some trees and other foliage have very low detail sometimes, especially on Arras and Twisted Steel?
Have asked this here and on Reddit, I've noticed you being more active here, which I really appreciate, so I thought I'd try again.

October 25th. We'll be busy getting the 100.000.000 kills lol
By the way, about that, do you know what's the usual killcount on a normal week?
Nope. Will just show up in the Frontend automagically.
Has anyone else still the bug where the mounted MGs on vehicles keep their low detail LOD model all the time?
Fixed in either 4.6 or 5.0 don't remember. Not 4.6 if you've seen it this week.
