Battlefield V |OT2| Empire of the Soon
- Thread starter iRAWRasaurus
- Start date
I think this is one of the main things I didn't like when I tried to get into BF from the bad company days to this very installment. The TTK just felt a little too long and I didn't really like how the guns felt. But BF5 immediately clicked and felt good to fire weapons.
Yeah I wonder if they just couldn't get it to work. I'm wondering if we could get a more detailed design perspective. I think it's one of the most interesting mechanics in the series.
Main problems of BFV is the lack of team balance and anti cheat measures.
Everything else is minimal. Honestly, not even MMGs proning are that big of an issue. Incendiary grenades are my best friend against them

Could have an AI take over commander when nobody is using it. Could just randomly use radar functions and artillery and whatnot on enemy locations and/or respond whenever a squad requests something. Better than having no commander at all if nobody is wanting to do it.
Beginning of Iwo Jima after you take the beach flag, go all the way to the right side of the beach just behind the tank traps. Reasonably far away giving you protection from gunfire, covers alot of A flag, and the big canon on the right side can't shoot you but you can shoot it.
Also, if you are good enough shot you can actually land shots inside the bunker window at B, usually killing or severely hurting anyone inside.

The last thing that belongs in a battlefield game is any type of AI. In your own private bot matches, maybe. The current squad leader system is the next best thing than a dedicated commander.

I seem to get better performance with DX12 than I did with DX11, at least on my older rig.
Haven't actually tried it since building the new one.
My experience has been the same. I have an i5 7600 so CPU usage is a big problem for me.
Despite being able to heal, the BF1 medic was screwed against vehicles whereas the BFV assault has both the most versatile guns *and* the best anti-tank capabilities which results in it being by far and away better than any other class in the game. BF1's class balance was actually closer to BF2/2142 where there was a separate anti-tank class that only had access to SMGs.
Yeah, might have been guilty of abusing them last time i played Pacific Storm on defense. The guys in the other side where starting to insult me as i was always popping the big guns back to harass the tanks and the barges (and getting rid of the silly snipers in the bushes). The poor guys couldn't get the first sector and it wasn't helped by one of our squads that was collecting the barges and storing them behind the village. T'was a fun round. For us at least.
The big guns really do get built too fast.
I don't know, bots like in Titanfall that do mundane tasks like guarding the headquarters or operate artillery would add to the atmosphere and scale of the game.
We'll also soon disallow defenders to go on the 2nd small island in the front in sector 1 on Pacific Storm. That will help as well.
Small tweaks here and there, which will improve the balance over time.
Do you think we could get one of the US home base spawns moved to the western side of the beach in Iwo Jima Conquest to give them a more fair shake at taking A/B/C without needing a pilot to taxi?
Actually, current win ratio is 56%, slightly in favour of the US. Some tweaks to the preround spawns and slight polish has already been done for a future update.
But we don't need to change things significantly.
First impressions would be that the US are having a harder time, but the open nature of their HQ forces them to spread out more to the surrounding flags faster, especially the ones near the mountains.
Whoa, okay, I appreciate the correction regarding defending tanks, but can we not use language referring to sexual assault in the context of airplanes? That's excessive.
I really liked BF1. Just not the desert maps. Or that forest with the stupid train right in the middle of it.
DICE would've modeled it after a different forest, but all the good ones Argonne.
I think that the first sector in Iwo Jima is much easier than it looks, as it is the last one. The fourth sector though, it's brutal for the attackers, and I don't think that's a bad thing.
elenarie there is a minor thing that's annoying in the menus, when you go to "my company" and select, for example, the japanese medic, it shows the UK Assault. Same with the vehicles, you select the sherman, it shows the first UK tank. It's annoying.
The other suggestion I have, is adding a way to cycle factions once you are in the class. For example, I'm tweaking the support class, as japanese, and then I want to go to the UK, then I have to go back to the menu, and then to the class again. It's minor, but it's not very user-friendly

Anyone else think the thread title should have some sort of update to let people know the pacific update is live? I can edit it if people agree on a new title.
"Battlefield V went gold"

Yeah, probably more people would know about it, also considering it's on EA/Origin Access and has free weekends
Apologies since I'm sure this has been asked a billion times, but what's the word on the cheater problem?
Tweaks to balance are cool and all, but when a blatant cheater goes 143-3 it doesn't really matter how many tanks one side gets. It ruins the game for everyone, and it's happening with increasing frequency on PC in my experience.
Someone was doing it last night for us and taking those bunkers was piece of cake.
I still hold that we should have friendly fire on for artillery and so forth even if not for small arms fire. On both offense and defense turtling a flag knowing you can while the others have to run cheapens the feeling.
Aye, unfiltered BF nonsense with some really fun gadgets. I wish it was more populated and a little more up to QoL standards.
Yeah, the only map I can think of that I truly despised was the map in BF4 where you were confined to building rooftops because the streets were flooded. I never enjoyed that map or how it flowed. I'd usually just quit out when it came up in rotation.
As is your right sir. But perhaps you could tell me what maps in BF1 you considered good for conquest? What maps produced fun and varied conquest gameplay? Perhaps I'm misremembering but I can't think of many.
It clearly doesn't help that the gun play in 1 was the worst in the series or that DICE butchered the conquest mode or the elites and behemoths that ruined the game.
But maps wise I still don't remember anything that was much other than the same old dull fight.
Slightly off topic but I still fail to see how Behemoths ruined BF1. Only the losing team got one and it gave them an edge but rarely turned the tables. Most of the time the whole team banded together to take the things down which was pretty cool in itself, like a boss fight mid match.
I would like DIce to revisit the idea at one point but by creating a mode that is tailored to and around them.

i dont particularly like BF1 either but BFV has the worst maps in the mainline franchise.
st quentin scar
ballroom blitz
rupture
sossions
empires edge
montegrappa
brusilov keep
are just some i think are better than all of the BFV maps excluding the 2 new pacific maps.
We're making further improvements to that screen very soon.
Breakthrough > Conquest
We we please keep Pacific only playlists? If not, I'll just wait till custom servers are live that accomplish this. I really dislike all the year 1 maps compared to the two new ones.

The first one is a blast. I more or the less agree on the others.
I don't think they ruined things, but they didn't add much either. Taking them down was a chore that not everyone worked at, using one was fun at times, but was usually a waste of time. Worthwhile in Operations of course.
Is any work being done on assignments? The system has always seemed like kind of a poorly designed bottleneck. Could they not be passively tracked? Fiddling with them between rounds is just an irritation that provides no benefit to the player.
