Battlefield V |OT2| Empire of the Soon
- Thread starter iRAWRasaurus
- Start date
I hate tanks in this game. Playing as the japanese on solomon is infuriating. I would hope the new bazooka and lunge mine would help counter some of that but people don't know how to play the game so I don't expect any change.
This.
This right here.
The AT guns are an absolute nightmare to handle since they can only be manouvered using the towing feature (which is pretty shit still), so if you realize that the gun is at a slightly wrong angle, it tips a bit forward or backward or whatever, you have to get in a vehicle, try to adjust it a bit more and then rage as it gets wrong again.
There HAS to be a small feature of being able to push the cannons to the sides and move them very, very, slowly in order to get better placements with them.
How this is still not a implemented feature in the game 1.5 years after release is baffling. SURELY people are not happy with how these work in general?
Battlefield V's average map quality is shit. But I've ranted about that long enough.
DICE's change to the unlock system, tethering new weapons to Tides of War level, has eroded my drive to play the game. Even with its warts, I guess a part of me didn't mind sinking in each week to a set of challenges to unlock a new gun or whatever and having something new to fuck around with. So basically I'm extra bored due to the ambiguity and unfocused nature of the new unlock system. I don't want to grind for XP and if the challenges aren't leading to immediate rewards in the form of stuff to play with I don't care.
Don't like the new map either because it's still laden with DICE's trope of godawful bottlenecks.
EDIT: BF1 had the best plane balance, although BF4 was fine too from memory. BF1's planes worked entirely because the simplified nature of the game gave them defined roles, easy use, and also easy counters. All gunfire was useful against them but particularly LMGs shredding their wings to reduce their mobility. They were very effective against infantry and tanks depending on their loadout. AA was useful, but also not limiting. It took a few balance passes, but piloting in BF1 was the best it'd been.

honest to fucking god, they should have ported the old artillery pieces to BFV.
ugh, i kinda wanna play BF1 now.....those artillery pieces are soooo goood.

In my pre-5.2 experience, even with the Type-97 fully specced as a tank buster, it's not going to beat a Sherman, and that's just plain ol' not very fun.
It wont in a 1 on 1 fight unless you get the drop on them. Much harder now due to Tank changes too.
My conclusion with the new map is that it's okay on Conquest and just miserable on Breakthrough.
Solomon Island has like 4 paths in every sector in BT, but everyone uses just one path, so if you flank you are often alone and fail at it. People need to learn their shit
Leaving the tanks alone should be a bannable offense.
By the way, in Reddit the February Survey is up since a few days ago. Go in there and make sure to tell them how you feel (if they will consider de feedback or not is another story)
I need that duck entering a building meme with BFV and saying ''everything was M2 Carbine'' when he walks out.
This is the first time in the history of the BATTLEFIELD series that I have stopped playing before the release of a new one.
Usually I will buy BF: Premium and play through the expansions until the release of the next BATTLEFIELD. I am just finding BFV so boring that I can't do that this time around. It doesn't feel like they have put any effort into this game after seeing the low initial sales.

Sigh, indeed. Some time ago, I said that the lack of balance made this game a russian roulette, you never know for sure if the game is going to be fun or not, so you take a risk everytime you decide to play this instead of another game.
I think that this last period of the game, the chances of not having fun have increased a lot. More often than not, I just quit because so much going on:
- Lack of balance
- A festival of 2A, M2 or shootouts that don't make any sense.
- Cheaters
- A good/maxed plane in Pacific maps where the bomb one shot tanks so pushing objectives is futile (specially Iwo Jima third sector)
Or just a game that isn't being a lot of fun in teamwork

Out of curiosity i played BFV again after over one month of pause just to check out the new map. Solomon is fine on conquest, not the best but quite good.
For the rest though, that TTK changes make all the efforts feel wasted, just not fun at all in the slightest. The game has poor and boring gunplay now after it was its biggest strenght.
What a mess and what a disappointment for a Battlefield fan.

Remove it from the game or replace plane wings with paper mache.
Maybe not have the pair of 500 lbs drop at the same time.
100% agreed, I knew eventually (Having played and enjoyed everyone since 1942) that they would have a dud... I didn't think it would be THIS bad though.
The new shotgun seems to be complete garbage if you are more than 5 ft away from an enemy.
I cannot find a single reason to use it over the M1897.

Dude I've been asking everywhere for a simple dialogue about this snap aim bullshit that they decided to just dump on the whole community. Not a single peep to as why it's even added. Also wasn't even in the patch notes (supposedly they forgot 😂😂😂). It's just mind blowing.
Rumor says that Modern Warfare Battle Royale will be F2P and a separate download if you don't have MW.
DICE, release Firestorm from it's coffin already, damn it

Why, the mode is broken. It has been completely abandoned for months, and further de-balanced by the TTK patches. Plus DICE doesn't cares about the feedback: not from ERA, not from reddit, not from the surveys, not from CM and not even from tiggr.
Just as the Day 1, Firestorm matchmaking is fundamentally broken where it will send 2s or 3s into the 4s matches. And it is infested with cheaters... Just let it die... DICE has moved on, you should do the same.
The "find games" option when picking a game mode is pretty cool! Takes you right to the server browser with that filter :D
Yeah I like it too, it's how I usually look for a match to join.
I still play almost every night. We do run into a bunch of players on PS4 that supposedly use Cronus Max and other cheat devices but whatever we have fun. Really unfortunate that it got no support
If cod's BR is free than my friends and I will definitely check it out
I suspect it may be too little too late, but going F2P would still help. It really should have been F2P at launch though, or a cheaper separate product. I actually don't mind Firestorm at all, it's a bit faster and snappier than PUBG and since the BFV gunplay is generally good (current TTK aside) I had a lot of fun. But shoehorning a battle royale mode behind the paywall of a series not at all known for battle royale and also under scrutiny for its own design, technical, and post launch support issues was...not the wisest choice. It was pretty much doomed out of the gate.
You might be right. At least it would mean it gets easier to find matches. On PC, I can almost never find servers to play in
They did, and then Criterion abandoned ship and let DICE to handle the rest and.. yeah
Finally a positive change. Dice has reduced initial tank spawns on solomon from 4 to 2. What a relief as a defender.
What would be the best way to play a full game of let's say Wake Island? Most games I join are halfway done already and the next one is of course a different map. Sometimes I want to play a specific one but it's kinda difficult. Back in the day we had "Map X server only" servers but now we don't...
Entering, or queueing, a match that's on the previous map and then play or wait until it's Wake Island
Thats exactly how i get to play a full map of Arras :) (the previous Map is Aerodrome)
I did this a lot when Rotterdam was before Panzerstorm... such a good 1-2 combo of great maps
Hmm, I didn't know you could see the next maps before joining a server. Interesting. Thanks
Btw: I think all the Pacific maps are god damn terrible in my opinion. Wake is ok though.

Normally, I would be spending a few hours everyday at the ToW grind.
Been off the game lately thanks to Fallen Order but I'm gonna grind through the game this weekend just to reach Bazooka unlock.
Then I'm retiring til 6.2 TTK update.
There's still pockets of fun to be had but maaaan..
