what fascinates me most is how they could’ve left out something essential as autobalance … once you get a stacked team it sticks and that’s it, losers will keep leaving creating even more of a gap due to less players …
Ever since I learnt to fly I’ve used all the classes but still mained infantry but these days I just can’t stand infantry play anymore. Well except sniping . The only things which are still fun are tanking and killing ground targets in planes because even dogfighting’s sucked since they ruined it with that March patch (also that youtuber’s video on planes that was on this forum earlier was spot on about most things)
Things were actually looking good before 5.2 came along. The Pacific maps are well designed for a change, we were finally getting new content (and dice if you’re reading this, new content is what we were asking for when we say that the game was getting stale. Playing the same 8 maps or something for 12 bloody months with more of less the same guns and the same half dozen pieces of equipment is gonna get dull) and there weren’t many glaring bugs or glitches. Now, gunplay’s just trash
It used to sit well ahead of games like Gears 5, For Honor, and Sea of Thieves. But it’s okay, it’s just the Reddit echo chamber that doesn’t like the game… and the BF forums echo chamber… and the Youtube Echo Chamber… but 5.2 was healthy for the game : )
A fatal change, the worst possible. It completely killed me for my favorite team conquest and killed all the fun of fast play on such closed maps as Al Sundan, Marita, Narvik, Desolation … and many more because medical weapons are not suitable for anything. My beloved SOUMI weapon from the arsenal of the medic and Thompson have become useless playing them is a nightmare. Killing lasts forever and from 30 meters killing someone borders on a miracle. While for example KM-Lewis or STG44, although the game is worse, it is possible to play SOUMI, Thompson cannot be played. Give some link to Reditt we can’t let them, we must be persistent and constantly press EA / DICA and put pressure on them, pressure makes sense. GIVE US OUR GAME, GIVE US TTK / BTK 5.0 !!!
Quite a few important features were completely removed from the game, it seems as if there was total disregard for how they impacted the game. So many things, since this game was released, point towards there being an entire new team of devs who have mostly never played the game - being lead by leaders who have also never played the game - and still haven’t.
Hope you all enjoyed the holiday’s to those over at DICE and EA.
Please fix your nonsensical head shot multiplier, tired of shooting somebody in the body and twice in the head with no kill. If someone is to land 2 Headshots at any range it should be a kill no if’s, and’s, or but’s. I cannot begin describe how infuriating it is to play this ridiculous 5.2 update thats suppose to promote more “skill” yet I have to shoot someone in the head more than twice…
Revert this idiocy of an update or at the very least fix your head shot multiplier. This game is Fortnite levels of ridiculousness. Please make this a genuine BATTLEFIELD game like the previous iterations before BF1, we do not need Star Wars Battlefront 3.. Thank you.. can’t wait to return playing this game once all this unnecessary mess is ironed out.
You are kidding yourselves. On PS4, largest community of BF players, the servers are basically the same lol. Dice needs a balance patch, but this game was never lighting up any charts.
Team balance should be affected by 5.2. 'cause new players shouldn’t just leave. But no .. @PartWelsh@Braddock512 this is not the case.. like already said new/less skilled players still die like flies.. and still drop the game if they don’t want to stay in the losers team…
Now Im forced to play weapons I don’t like or those I don’t want to play. This is what the patch did. It didn’t bring more diversity for the weapons being picked. The weapons just changed..
@Khronikos Do you also enjoy the TTK of the good old guns? e.g. M1A1 .. I doubt ..
please roll back to 5.0 TTK range/spotting or introduce/announce an hardcore mode! no HUD, no 3D-Spotting, 60% player health, thanks!
@PartWelsh@Braddock512 How is this possible in close combat: A SAR is weaker then an LMG? That’s just a joke isnt it? This ttk/btk range change in combination with this newb spotting just made me rage quit again… cant stand this bullsh*t anymore .. HLL is waiting
Why can’t I equip any of my weapons skins ?? Every time I click to equip there is a loading symbol then a big white X appears on my screen ??? So irritating!!! Any help ??
I feel its really hard to talk about the ttk change without using profanities…
It shoting feels like shoe…dogshoe
if i get 2 headshots and a couple of bodyshots on the same target and i dont get a kill, thats dogshoe.
the spray and recoil on most weapons is bad enough but thats something i can deal with as long as some bullest finf the target. but if these bullets CANT kill, it feels shoey
Played a few games after this update. Won’t be playing it again until they put it back to where it was. I simply don’t like all this hand holding, screen clutter, bullet sponge gameplay and still with the insta deaths.
I enjoyed BFV before this update, I don’t enjoy it now. Sad really as it was on track to be a really good entry to the series.
I’d be so thrilled to hear where you get your statistics for player population in this game, on different platforms no less. At least Xbone legitimately has a “most played” section in their store where one can physically track whether or not it’s in a higher or lower position on that list.
