The concept is sound they just need to extend the ranges and fix this 2+ headshot to kill nonsense - they said that they hadn’t set out to change the TTK but the TTK in real terms is far longer than it was so If they were telling the truth they will fix it and If they don’t well… it’s either dishonesty or incompetence - People are asking for a full revert because we know that all the balancing models are already there and DICE’s record of tweaking BFV is pretty poor - with every “tweak” will come new glitches - every update so far has bought some glitches with it which is understandable but we as fans know that 5.0 worked at the very least - I’m convinced that the majority of players aren’t in favour of 5.2 but then again what would I know I haven’t done any extensive research. But I can say with absolute confidence that there are enough dissatisfied players to necessitate a hardcore mode with pre 5.2 values and then everyone is happy.
As long as the fix the balance.
Would be nice to see a revert, but at least they are tweaking.
Where’s the tweet?
They should have tweaked 5.0, and not start from scratch again. Telling people they need to re-learn the weapons, after 1 year of gaming life is an insult. Most would just be satisfied with the way it was and play some rounds with mates, or do some assignments or tow. Starting from scratch is most likely not what vets are looking forward to. They might as well pick up another game and learn that.
This was purely for making extra money from new players.
It matters not, it’s not what was wrong with the game anyway. Let’s take a look at what actually is making people leave the game.
maps with no cover and grainy visuals
Insufficient player clarity/visibility in firefights
bad spread to recoil / recoil pattern / zero depth gunplay.
uninspiring audio
irritating damage taken / flinch effect
team balance
anti-cheat or lack of
vehicle balance
spawn system
barebones content
awful game mode implementation
poor weapon/class balance
air vs infantry balance
too many unnecessary animations everywhere
attrition nonsense
bad performance
netcode and instadeath
and bugs…everywhere.
So I don’t care whether the guns are balanced around 3 BTK or 15 BTK, it’s not like it’s going to make the game fun.
Im ok with that. I suck at the game.
I just want Insurgency: Sandstorm to get to consoles at this point. I’m really looking forward to it.
Infantry gameplay sucks so much now that it’s not even worth playing. The only decent part is sniping
They’ve ruined the game
Just as many people camp now as before the only difference is that idiots can saunter over open ground now without a care in the world. What a joke
The problem with this is: Usually “tweaking” means “make it worse” in DICE language.
Not sure i understand. Its now easier for those who actually wants to more and harder for those who wants to camp and get easy kills. Why is that a bad thing.
Did dice making it harder for sniper campers to get kills in BFV compared to BFI reduce the number of sniper campers in games? No
Has the number of campers gone down? No, they just use different weapons now
And all this safe space paintball bullet sponge bs has just ruined infantry play
Threads like these are why the game has gone to ¯_(ツ)_/¯
A significant majority of the community don’t like the changes and they should be listened to
Would be nice for a full revert back to 5.0. Since now feels like we maybe see same 10 weapons used. Also 3 mines and sticky grenades doesn’t break tanks now solo rolo. So I pretty much avoid pacific maps now and major tank maps. Which is a shame since I love the new maps. Yeah people will say well use team work. Yada yada yada. Heck if I cant count on a revive or teams capping flags or heck even throwing down a ammo crate. Not much left to count on but myself. Heck half the time I cant even count on myself going beast mode each game. Since the hitreg/netcode high pingers making matches unappealing.
Now we got x snipers camping(cuse no one can hurt them)
Along with a medic sniper heal.
Ffs i cant just be serious in this post, the 5.2.2 is the worst patch ewer released in bf history.
And they need a frikking morsecode easter egg too deserve it
Not quite, 5.2 was even worse. If you think 4-9 BTK is a joke oh man you should’ve tried 5.2 TTKs
Meant 5.2
There’s a difference between someone wanting to and being able to move in general, and complete scrubs now being able to safely pass through 100+ meters of open space with no cover because it takes 10+ shots to kill them whereas before hand it took half that, and they can literally abuse this game’s movement speed and lack of directional momentum to run in zig zag patters all the way to cover - which makes actually landing 10 shots at range before running out of ammo statistically impossible for most players.
I mean come on, it’s not as if people were literally incapable of moving before this update because they’d just get killed. It’s just before this update, complete scrubs got punished for wandering out in the open blindly and then blamed gunplay being too fast instead of blaming their own brainless behavior.
