The game feels good again(imo) after this latest patch. Aside from some technical glitches, like the after match report, I've been enjoying it again finally

OP
OP
We had autobalance in BF1 DICE....we didn't have anticheat tho but that's no excuse....I love BF but I'm not reinstalling it just cause you rolled back some balancing issues we begged you not to do and to revert.
I'll bring in another game cause fuck it, it needs to be said. After Operation Health, I brought a cosmetic set cause they invested their time into the game and committed themselves to the future, I haven't brought anytime in BFV other than the initial $60 and I'm not going to unless you show me a reason to.
....dammit. I'm reinstalling it but I'm not spending money on you and your not getting me for BF6. Reinstalled SWBF2 but I'm just not into star wars.

Do people still play the smaller maps like Devastation? The last time I checked the servers there was only one online that had Devastation on, most of them played the pacific maps which I don't really like because they are so big and empty and it takes forever to get into a fight...
Checking out the new patch tonight with a friend whose been off it since Xmas.
Fingers crossed my old favourite weapons are viable again.

I might just redownload the game now. The lunge mine fix and the sniper rifle buffs have me intrigued.
Played for first time since December, pre-5.2. Felt good and I had fun. Definitely some improvements to visuals since I last played and the weapons feel pretty good now. I tried AR's, SMG's, and of course, the FG! Saw the need to lay down an extra round or two, but nothing too bad IMO. I'll play again tonight for sure.
Edit: Solomon Island is a gorgeous map. Was playin with a great squad so the gameplay felt great too.

Everything feels so much better now. Harder to get revived with far less medics on the field, but that's a good thing. Thank god!
Also found out that you can blow up the oil tanks on Wake now. I hit the pipes with a bazooka round and they started spewing flame, then the top of the tank went up in a giant explosion. Snipers get fucked

I still cant level up the Pacific Update planes at all. It takes FOREVER to get up in levels on those damn things.
So what is the Year 2 plan? We were promised two years of support.
We had the first year of a highly hit and miss support, ending strong with the Pacific and Wake Island, only to go downhill with the random balance patch.
So far, the Jungle map + fixing the balancing mistakes. Where are we going in the next chapter?

Normandy.
Data mining found a bangalore gadget and they've been working on a beach invasion mode for awhile. They've already got the assets for the U.S. and Germany now. P51 and quad 50 cal halftrack in the datafiles as well. Guessing they introduce stuff like the Panzershrek. If they are doing significant work on the Russian Army, they are hiding it.
Also references to a Midway map, curious to see if that goes anywhere.
Everytime there is a patch, check https://twitter.com/temporyal or https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1X3zd__IuYz_LEh4Z8ka21a-GVB37sK9qDrV7R6i5hiI/edit#gid=0
Makes sense, if theres one thing they should get in there with the limited support they have left it's Omaha Beach.
Jesus Tapdancing Christ...If this is true :
in a way yes, by buffing planes....Reddit - Dive into anything

You overestimate my remaining interest in such news. We are one month away from the new chapter, whatever it is, right?
So... the Americans will liberate Normandy before Nazis invade Soviets :( Or even worse, Soviets don't fight in WW2...
FINALLY.
FUCKING.
DONE!
All vehicles are finally max ranked. Every single one. Including those where I fucked up the build and had to play with a absolute garbage version of said vehicle.
To this system, and specifically the part where you can't fucking respec unless you've maxed the vehicle so if you picked something completely wrong that turns the vehicle from okay to Absolute-Shit:
I vehemently hate the Specialization system of this game.
FUCKING.

Most planes can be kinda specced towards having some ground capabilities, I usually go for that as there is not always something in the air to shoot as much as there are on the ground.
HOWEVER, on the Pacific campaign side, keep ALWAYS the specialized dogfighter airplane specced into dogfighting. Be it more light machineguns over those ground shooty guns or bombs etc. Cause more often than not if you try to grind airplanes there, there WILL be enemy dogfighters who will repeatedly shoot you out of the sky, so you want a counter for that. Be mindful though that because of the specialization system being the garbage it is, THEY will usually have more air manouverability which is the last perk down at the bottom of the tree and you will not, making them able to turn around faster and usually come up on your tail in a circle fight.
Also, the JU-88C, whatever you do, do NOT, ABSOLUTE NOT, pick the left side of the tree until you've maxed it, cause even though you wanna reach that AT cannon on the front, the third option on the tree WILL remove the one only good ground attack weapon on it, the bombs, and replace it with a goddamn camera.
Good tips.
I have the heavy bombers maxed out, because I'm deadly as hell with them. But the dog fighters... especially the Pacific ones.. nope.
I want to grind on those a bit more. This needs an "air superiority" mode in a bad way.
I'm a bad pilot and anytime I get even the slightest gumption to get into a plane to try to improve I get insta vaporized by enemy pilots and just can't be bothered anymore.
Play on Fjell a lot for the euro planes.
Pacific planes are a bitch to level until you get HE cannons and bombs.
yes but have him just join an empty squad then join the match. Shouldn't have to be that way though.
Have to say I am loving this new patch, wish the ttk never changed. Such a boneheaded decision amongst many others with bfV.
The game feels really good again. I'm starting to see a good mix of classes and guns. The end game stats are borked yet again though.
It's crazy to think that they stuck with those awful changes for so long. The game feels so much better to play now. Why, DICE? Why destroy all of that goodwill that came from the Pacific patch only to revert to what was good in the first place? Bizarre management over there at DICE Sweden.

I'll say it again; Battlefield 1 is about as good as the series has been in vehicle customisation and load outs in the sense of allowing for unlocks to be available early and swapping between various loadouts effortlessly accessible. And generally the balance was pretty good (except for when they made tanks made of paper).
Battlefield 3 was fucking dogshit as it locked literally essential vehicle upgrades behind XP grind. No rockets and (from memory) flairs for jets until you levelled up using the MMG is just bewildering. Tanks without reflective armour was suicide. Just idiocy.
Battlefield 4 was pretty decently balanced by avoiding the aforementioned essential vehicle gear behind XP unlocks, but still had the issue of grind.
Battlefield 1 had plenty of its own issues but unlocking vehicles and gear was quick and easy and the snappy UI encouraged experimenting between loadouts while also clearly indicating the gear itself.
Battlefield V has no sensible function or form at all. If you're not wiki'ing you wont even know what certain skill tree paths will do, what weapons they'll completely replace, nor the advantages/disadvantages of particular choices. The UI frequently fails to communicate exactly what you'll lose by taking certain upgrade trees, or how the upgrade functions. Some upgrades are so fucking worthless compared to the alternative that they're not just a waste of XP, but also lock you into a path on the unlock tree that just further renders your choices redundant and inferior.
I get that it's hard to communicate stuff sometimes but really, and I said this right when the game launched, clearly indicating the function and purpose of certain upgrades and changes should be ABSOLUTELY FUCKING PARAMOUNT when having upgrade trees. Battlefield V's entire vehicle select system and the specialisation options is a mess of ambiguity that actively discourages experimenting and learning. Nothing is explained, feedback is poor, and the only way you can learn what a vehicle really does and does not do well, or what an upgrade does, is to invest your XP into it and fuck around trying to work it out, which is obviously going to result in a lot of dying, and inevitably regret your choices.
Oh, my opinion on this has never been different other than "it's bad". I warned about how awful all of this could be back the moment they showed the system for the very first time 2 years ago:
This was the image I saw, and I was immediately filled with dread.
And I repeatedly told the issues that this would bring over and over during Closed Beta, Open Beta, before launch, after launch, and now.
And it's still bad.

Loved the Pacific update. Then I quit with the TTK changes.
Now they change it back. How are the 2 additional maps? Wake Island and the other one. What else is left in this game? I dont know how they can constantly cut out BFV's legs and then expect some growth. I imagine the TTK negativity really hurt the Pacific update's progress

They seemed easier to take down. Not as easy as they were to take out at launch, but not as ridiculous as they were prior.
That is the biggest issue with the game right now. Dice should give autobalancing top priority as it increases significantly the quality of the gameplay experience.

Wake Island is ok, but the newest map, Solomon Island, is a winner in my opinion. It's only got three flags, but they each offer a lot of different looks in conquest.
So I finally figured out what the fuck has been going on with my loadouts that was annoying the fuck out of me.
Even if you have persistent loadouts (change it for one faction, changes it for another) if you change your combat role (Engineer and Machine Gunner for example) the loadouts are different between the two.
I wondered why seemingly randomly my loadout would change and finally realized it was when I also changed the combat role. Normally I'd do that and then immediately spawn, not realizing my weapons changed with it.

Yep. Tanks can be super easy to take down with Bazookas and Lunge Mines.
People are openly cheating and GLOATING that they are.
I've run into multiple games now with people clearly using hacks like aimbots, their scoreboard having multiple headshots in quick row with semi-auto weapons, being shot in the head through smoke and more.
I'd really suggest DICE get on fucking fixing this shit before worrying about putting in more content. This is a goddamn joke how bad this is.
Not shown, the fifth guy this guy headshotted in a row cause that name went out of the scoreboard the moment I took this picture.

The hell was the point of 5.2. C'mon Dice
If it was to get people to uninstall the game then it surely succeeded. Only reason I didn't was that I didn't have anything else I wanted to play at the time that took up alot of drive space.
Sooooo... now progression is screwed up?
Get to level 13 for Assualt. Weapon doesn't unlock. Says "available next round"
Play about 10 more games, get to level 14.. LEVEL 13 WEAPON IS STILL LOCKED?!? WTF.
I enjoy the game when it's running right, but damn can it be frustrating when it's not.

Guns have been fixed.. now if we could only get Firestorm updates and a Pacific theater Grand ops
And the Greek invasion Grand Op..
I honestly won't care about the next battlefield if they don't include Barbarrosa in this game. Without the Soviets, you really fucked up WW2
Finally having some fun with this game after the patch! Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of most maps outside the Pacific, so the 4 same maps get a bit boring after awhile. Any word if they're adding the Springfield sniper?
