You should be, just got on BF4 and the so called pros there made for very poor gameplay, spawnsniping, everyone with maxed out weapons spassing about spamfiring in the direction their map told them to with the starter weapons being next to useless. It would seem BF1 was the shining exception, well then TTK2.0 happened…
Unless you’re getting paid to play the game you’re a casual player, it doesn’t matter if you’re a weekend warrior with mediocre stats or a human aimbot with top-1% stats. You can argue backwards and forwards over the little nuances of this video game where you shoot pixels vs that video game where you shoot pixels but at the end of the day they are all casual titles meant to be accessible by a large enough percentage of random players to turn a profit. Therefore when you say ‘casual’ I assume what you really meant was ‘easy’.
On the one hand your bullets go precisely where they are aimed, they travel quickly, and the guns are generally very lethal, so killing an enemy is much easier. On the other hand, the same is true for your enemy as well. This means on average the better player will win in a random gunfight more frequently than would be the case in titles where random factors like suppression and bullet spread were present.
The quick TTK also means positioning is more important, and that the ‘Run and Gun’ playstyle that this community is in such a love-hate relationship with is no longer the end-all strategy and that flanking and tactical positioning (something that has been made more viable in this game than any title since BF2) are suddenly far more important.
Does that make this game easier than older titles like BF3/4 or BC2? I don’t think so personally. Battlefield players in particular seem to suffer heavily from rose-tint where older titles are concerned while forgetting that those older games were not without their own cheese.
I miss BF 1943, and games like Vietnam. Or 2142.
So me being able to tell my teammates that multiple enemies that are about to ambush them is a ridiculous mechanic? Because that is all spotting is. Its a simple way to communicate to teammates that is all it is. People don’t use mics, Even if they do, you can only communicate with your squad. Then there is all the nonsense that goes on with people that do have mics. So in saying its a ridiculous mechanic you have no issue watching your teammates 100 meters away get utterly slaughtered because you could not let them know where 1 or 2 enemies were at?
the game is not bent towards casual it is bent towards Assault and any other class that has mid to long range fast firing weapons
You can do that with the current marking mechanic. I have no problem with that.
What I don’t like is the the other type of spotting (minimap and 3D) that marks the enemie’s exact position and follows them around. That type of spotting is made specifically to help noobs and casual players while punishing players that have done nothing wrong.
That type of spotting has to go.
Maybe on PC where all you have to do is point and click.
On consoles it seems more balanced since it takes more skill to aim and control the recoil.
I still do not get why cant the consoles get their own separate balance and patch cycle.
It would be a win-win situation cause some guns could be adjusted with just consoles in mind and they would able to patch the PC version more often and thus try changes without committing to an entire month before fixing the problems that are introduced in the patch
I hate it, they make tanks aiming all wired and slow, mess with turret speed, but we on PC have to face laser accuracy AT assault weapon spam.
Sorry you are an expert on Game design?
Why feel sorry for me? Im not the one having a cry about a mechanic that has been in the game since BF2. The delay is significant and I know the guys that I play with regularly call it out when they hear one go up and will drop it if need be. To be honest, one of the positives of BFV is that everything can be countered. I feel sorry for you for your lack of willingness to adjust your play style.
The rules in these “leagues” destroy the game. The restrictions applied to esb and bmf and other “leagues”(a joke in their entirety) ruin the Competitiveness for every player. They do not stablize the game, and do not create an enviroment where players are more on par. Its a joke. And Competitive battlefield will never work with such rules a restrictions. In 7 months we’ll have new nations, weapons, and vehicles. 75% or more of which has already been restricted by these “leagues” and they arent even out yet. They havent been nerfed. They havent been tried and tested. But gaurunteed banned. Tis a joke
