Groundwar isn’t great for sure. It still needs optimization. My fps stayed reasonable, game is gpu bound though. I had better fps in 1440p compared to 1080p.
8x8 is great though.
It’s still a beta, some graphic anomalies can be experienced, some options settings doesn’t stick after quitting and later restarting the game etc etc.
Ah, and high pingers cause severe lag. Some warp from corner to corner. 1hk deaths while the deathcam shows half a clip emptied into you. But with somewhat equal pings it’s decent.
It isn’t battlefield and there is little incentive to protect a control point.
I’ve tried ground war on numerous occasions and at different times on xbox one x.Unplayable laggy mess so have uninstalled it.Glad I’ve played beta as I’ve saved money.Just wished I’d played the cod WW2 beta too and I’d have saved on that.
Battlefield even with it’s problems is in a different league in gameplay looks and performance goodnight.
Same for me too as pc player. I am not sure if I buy it. It doesn’t feel like a battlefield, with destroyed buildings ,vehicles or even craters.
And the scorestreaks makes it too terrible.
And camping snipers on the top of buildings with smoothy rifles. Its aim and bang… it’s not realistic like in bf1 or 5 or even sniper elite. The distance doesn’t matter, you always get hit
Honestly, I played the Modern Warfare Beta up to rank 30 and I must say, Battlefield 5 is much better than that game. Though BF5 has many bugs and netcode problems it is way better in my opinion than MW. The netcode of MW is even worse, I would go so far to say that is the worst of any COD so far. Movement feels some kind of clunky compared to BF5 and the graphics can´t also compete with BF.
Hi,
Played a few hours, and ground war this evening.
Everything is great except that cannot hear footsteps on ground war, and the map was like a bowl - not designed for strategy, all the action was confined to in buildings, so it was a close quarter twitch shooter despite the map being large.
Positives things to mention as opposed to reports of BF5 ( i played the beta) -
Getting back into the action is near instant - fantastic.
Can see people.
No demolition - which means you can hide in buildings from tanks, helo’s etc - fantastic.
Can shoot through walls and crates - brilliant. Ammo crates at the flags - so much better than playing with selfish players as per BF who do not give out ammo. Strangely - there is an ammo perk and lots of people were using it. Yet for BF, people just don’t care any more.
I think there is scavenging too - so adds to game mechanics.
COD is trash, their take on large maps is awful and cluttered plus the lack of destruction means players can sit outside flags camping with very little penalty. Also UAV destroys any kind of flanking or tactical movement.
