Battlefield V |OT2| Empire of the Soon
- Thread starter iRAWRasaurus
- Start date
Do you think that something could be done about weapon skins that include sights/scopes but not iron sights?
It sucks to have the gold skin for the Garand but the iron sights are stuck as the default color unless I use the gold 3X scope.
Yep they did a good job with the reload stuff. But the sound of it firing and recoil are fantasy land.

The pacific maps are whats new currently. 2 maps and 4 new maps. In addition, there are 3 new weapons in the ToW overall rank. The weekly ToW stuff should be unlockable using CC ,I believe, afterwards. Like new weapons can be bough if you didnt unlock them using CC later.
You should request a title change to add "(War in the Pacific Out Now)" or something to the end.
How do I make HDR not look awful on PC. Cant seem to find the sweet spot. And the HDR luminance slider is busted. It says 85 is the peak.
But what about all the different chapter rewards and stuff, i didnt play the last chapter all the way and i dont think any of that is available anywhere else.
Also what is actually in the season pass thing
I also wanted to chime in on the assignments thing. The feeling of progression in the game would be much improved you weren't limited to the active assignments you have selected. And experimenting with loadouts or switching classes for the good of your squad/team is severely discouraged. Maybe there are cosmetics economy considerations there, but it needs to be looked at either way. Having to back out and select new assignments is very detrimental to game flow that will keep people playing if everything is just tracked in the background automatically. If I'm messing with assignments instead of loading into the next match I'm much more likely to stop playing or go play something else.
The fact that everything is locked behind BOINS and I have 23489789234 COMPANY COINS really pisses me off. Can we just change the name of ARMORY to PAID STORE and quit the BS? I don't care if I need to spend 100,000 CC on an item.
Every one of you missed BATTLEFIELD: VIETNAM, which was the best BATTLEFIELD in the history of BF.

It makes me wonder, did DICE misinterpret a legitimate desire to track certain assignments that you want to progress through to only mean work on a handful assignments?? Its probably one of the most player unfriendly design choices I've ever seen implemented. Its literally a forced regression. Progression in BF1-V feels like post rank 100 progression in all the previous BF games starting from 3 to Hardline. After that point you've finished most of the progression and you're playing for fun and prestige which is ok. Anything that makes players not play the objective or work to contribute to the teams needs to not be in the next BF game. Period.
My guess is that DICE doesn't want players to go through their assignments too quickly and possibly bounce off the game because they don't have anything to work towards anymore. Player retention if you will. Especially during periods that don't have ToW assignments/Chapter rewards.
Makes sense in theory. If anything, I hope DICE reverts to the passive assignment system in the next BF if it can't be changed in BFV. I would rather keep it way it is if there is potential to break stuff they already fixed by trying to revert to passive completion of assignments in 5.
Edit: Because I have logged off plenty of times after backing out of a match to change assignments. Just took me out of the zone, per say.
Wrong since bf1942 is the best battlefield because of both it's scope, and it's modding scene ( 2 things that the licence either killed or shrinked ).
Owning battlefield 1942 meant being able to play desert combat ( aka almost battlefield 2 ) and galactic conquest ( aka battlefront but better, except for the lack of hero/jedi I guess ). Ohh and Interstate 1982, doing Lan on that one was amazing.
Im really starting to enjoy bf v again. The challenges are keeping me coming back for at least one game of break through daily, and they are making me experiment with classes i never use. I typically stick with medic or assault, but one challenge today had me try recon, and despite some troubles at first, by matches end i was having little trouble picking off dudes with the sniper. I like the new maps too. This game will never be bf4 good, let alone bf1 good, but for what it is, they turned it into an enjoyable battlefield game

TBH I dont think you are able to get the previous chapter rewards, besides weapons. Perhaps thats something the devs can take a look at elenarie?
The Tides of War chapter 5? Just play the game and it works towards unlocking things. There could be some chapter 5 assignments that help the progress.
I really enjoy just playing support every once in a while and running around keeping fortifications built up and smoking anyone who dares touch them. Also, having one of those runs where you're in awe at your medics/squad reviving you over and over as you rack up kills is the stuff dreams are made of and almost make up for all the medics/squadmates that ignore you.
The jungle carbine is faaaaaantastic, might replace the Trombone for me (though the grenade is still fun/useful when using smokes). You need the faster bolt cycle though otherwise you're screwed against multiples in close quarters, that means forgoing some juicy upgrades in the right tree.
I still hit at least one game ending bug per play session. Tried to switch squads and game just booted me back to the main menu. Dice, why? "Video games are hard" isn't a good enough excuse a year after buying a product for full price.
Did they finally up the rate of weather events happening? I got the sandstorm on Hamada which I literally haven't seen since around the game came out and it was awesome. The storm on Pacific Storm seems to happen consistently as well and is one of the best parts.
I never got the whole 'lets make them super rare so it's more special' thing, they're one of the best moments in the game you should show them off.
Also I've been using the Breda lately and I didn't think I'd like it because burst fire usually isn't my thing but it's pretty good once you get used to it. At real long range you can really only spam fire to supress while you close distance but at mid range you can really take people down.

They said they we're going to tweak the dynamic weather and maybe even do a separate "weather" playlist at one point.
And are you aware that the Breda also has a semi auto option? Much better for long range encounters.
Pacific storm has the storm every match which I love
Asking anyone again if they have recommended upgrades for the new tank trees.

The type 97 (96?) tank with the L5 long barrel is really good. I also like the 76 mm on the Sherman.
Not yet, we've been busy wrapping up the release of these two maps and Wake Island.
RRRRRR, as usual. Make them faster and hit harder. Nothing else matters.
Origin Premier subscription is just about up. I'd consider picking up the actual game for maybe 15-20 bucks at this point on PC but looks like I could get it for $45 after the Premier discount? Lol nope. I do own it on Xbox as I grabbed it during one of their OMG Battlefield isn't selling sales but I don't feel like grinding those unlocks so I guess this is it for me and Battlefield for a while.
Got back to playing BFV after going on hiatus since august, so this is my first time experiencing Al Sundan and Operation Metro as well. And ho boy if the new pacific maps are what I'd call instantly enjoyable, Operation Metro is instantly the exact opposite. Marita is kind of a grind but nowhere near the smoke everywhere shotgun fest that Metro is. If I wanted that kind of shitshow I'd play Breakthrough, which I don't. It's even worse than I could've imagined based on impressions and videos, going from a proper conquest map into Metro has a severe whiplash effect.
Yeah, only a few cosmetics will be out of reach. You need to grind some coin for some unlocks but you'll get it quickly enough while using other equipment.
BF3
BF1
BC2 (including Vietnam DLC)
BFV Pacific
BF1943
BF4
BFV Vanilla
BFH
Comparing the fun I had with each game when they were released, not how I'd rank them now, because obviously the older games would suck then.
Still really really liking the Pacific maps. Do we know something about the 'Invasion' game mode that was datamined/rumored?

Can't wait for private games.
Wake Island Conquest
Pacific Storm Conquest
Iwo Jima Breakthrough
Al Sudan Conquest
Al Sudan Breakthrough
Panzerstorm Conquest
Arras Conquest
Hamada Conquest
Mercury Conquest
Operation Underground Breakthrough
That would be my playlist. If possible I'd repeat Wake Island every two maps.

Managed to play this on two trials now, one for PS4, one for PC. Similarly, I also own BF1 on the PS4 & PC.
Firstly I find the shooting mechanics, bullet drop, and recoil a lot easier to handle on PC than BF1. I remember transitioning from PS4 to PC taking quite a few hours to get used to it, and suffering on the K/D side because of it. Here within two rounds I was doing really well compared to what I would have been capable of on BF1.
Visuals as ever are incredible. Even the on PS4 compared to its competition like MW's conquest-style mode, the image quality is clear, map sizes are of course huge, performance is solid, as I would have expected having played 1. PC of course remains my preferred choice though for the superior visual quality, once I'd played with the settings I had solid 60fps on a mix of ultra and high settings at 1080p, even though on games with smaller maps like Battlefront 2 there is stuttering and fps drops present.
So I would definitely get this on PC, however I managed to come across two cheaters during 5 hours of play time, and by Sunday night, when selecting the promoted new maps playlist, I was already being put into half full, or even emptier severs. Each of these would tempt me back to a console version. Anyway I'll wait on a sale during the coming months, or maybe until this hits Steam, and then decide on which version to get.

The game is in the vault so you could drop down to regular origin access
