Battlefield V

[lemmingjames]

Apparently you can cheat on PS4 as well, im yet to believe but have been told that you can boot and ban people from servers, cause games to crash along with the normal 1 shot/1 kill, through the map bullst.

Though i dont get how some players can go 50+k/5 D's even if they are constantly revived that still a tall order especially when everyone is has half the kills etc.

One of the guys i play with was complaining that a plane kept on getting him the other day, every time the plane flew over, zap he was insta dead. Another, when he joined the game, caused the frame rates to drop though some are saying they are getting 1 fps stuff going on then get booted from the game as well

It seems EA's share price has taken a battering this morning as they announced poor earnings as a result of the BFV flop. They had the temerity to blame "tough competition in quarter 4" of 2018

Competition from Fallout 76 I think

[anonymous-user]

Tough competition. I cant think of many other games that would do this.
Fallout was a flop, CoD might have been a challenge. Anything else?

Maybe people did not want another WWII themed game. I'd rather see an improved BF4 style game, maybe set in 2020-2025?
Or set in the cold war period.

I've just about stopped playing BFV and installed BF4 again

Finally got my "win a breakthrough as an attacker" assignment last night, Jesus Christ it took some bloody time.

the amount of games with 10+ snipers sat back not capturing anything, you just aren't going to win

I played 64 player conquest on devastation last night and we were over 50% snipers! The only squad I could join was 2 snipers who were like 2 for 5 at the end of the game, lost by nearly 500 points. I gave up and went to bed. And what the hell is up with everyone typing in the chat box instead of using voice? Every now and then I have a fun game which makes me keep coming back but I think its lifespan is going to be about 1/10 that of earlier BF's for me.

I refuse to switch on voice. Chat is toxic, voice is far worse IMO.
Same for any game, unless playing with mates, then its s private chat server.

Also the wife migth be alseep - does not want to hear me talking to strangers lol.

Shame. I don't understand why they don't allow private servers; it would save them money having to host and the game quality would be so much better.

First time I rage quit today as as soon as i started I was shot over and over and over again.


Got fed up with my points also what good are they I dont want to dress my gun or person up - I want more guns!

Been playing this a little more over the last week or so. When you get a decent lobby with a team who plays the objective you can have some really close games that feel rewarding. 95% of the time though you get a team who want to camp no where near an objective, fail at killing anyone and just constantly getting picked off by the other team. I don't get why these people play, how do they not get bored going 3 for 14 over and over again. Also why can no one use squad leader correctly?!

You also spend them on improvements to the gun - more accurate, more ammo, faster ammo etc.. The same for vehicles, you can buy spotting flares for some tanks, additional ammo etc.

I think I still have 100,000 spare even after upgrading most of the stuff I use on a regular basis, I've resisted the temptation to buy a new pair of trousers and just use the ones I've unlocked.

About time the level 50 cap was lifted I reckon, everyone is going to be on that soon.

Not really any mention of it in the armory but you can get funky camo for tanks and planes too.

Had a decent go and actually dominated in a fully upgraded scout car with the 20mm auto cannon on a breakthrough map

25 -2

Only got wasted because I go too cocky and found dynamite. Hopefully frontlines challenge will be ok this week

I have just played for a few hours this afternoon on Frontlines and Breakthrough. Very non competitive. I was actually a bit bored by the end.

FINALLY unlocked the KAR98k Sniper Rifle.

...And it’s a bit pants.

Anyone else on PS4 switch the R1/R2 trigger buttons? You can spam the R1 button faster than you can the R2 “trigger”. Works especially well with the Turner SMLE

So much so I’ve been accused of using a modded controller twice in the last week

Stick with it and get the four upgrades - the accuracy improvement you get means those shots you go for and realise you've actually missed the headshot land on target anyway, it's like it has special bullets with a few pixels of forgiveness.

if its similar to xbox its probably grenade throw

Frontlines is absolute cat piss by the way. It’s like going back 15 years and playing COD with people trying to get in a position to spawn trap.

Awful isn't it - so annoying that this latest batch of challenges is tied to it as it always seems that one team has a definite advantage, usually the one I'm not on

It's one of those modes where people just have to accept that not everyone can be a sniper and crack on with some proper attacking, you need a couple of snipers spotting and picking off the other snipers but unless you can rush in en mass you've no chance.

People don't understand that you need to push forward when the flag is padlocked, not after it becomes active. If you wait till it is active, that's too late.
