Played with and against a 'competitive' (ie been invited to comps) PS4 player yesterday, 90+ kills 20-30 Deaths. Next nearest person was 60/20.
Asked him if he was using Mouse and Keyboard and he just said no, normal PS4 with a ping of sub 15!
Found him on youtube, which surprisingly isnt full of epic skillz vids but some of his sniper vids was headshot after head shot without even looking:

On the maps we played, Marita - he used the sten and was insta-dropping people, on Underground it was the Suomi.
Though according to BF5 stats, he only got 60 odd kills though im sure in game it was 90+;

Are people that good or just lying about what they use?

Played like a scrub yesterday; was mining the airfields or carriers.
Wasnt always getting a kill mind you but quite funny when i did. If your going to try it, i found best place was half way along for the carriers (by the con tower) and where the planes spawn on the airfields.
Also had some scrubs sit in the boat between carriers, anti-airing the US planes as they took off. No idea who thought it would be a good idea to put a ship there with health and ammo but there you go

was chatting to someone last night who read the reddit notes on the update...
apparently they are dumbing down the power of the guns to equal a m1911 pistol = longer time to kill in order to help the Xmas noobs out. What f
king xmas noobs are coming.
so itll be interesting to see what actually happens as if that is the case, i can see alot turning it off in disgust. They need to sort out match making and auto-balancing the teams instead of fking about with skins and dumbing the game down

I recently got back into this game, but the cheating issue on PC is out of hand. It’s absolutely out of control, I’ve never known a game to be so blasé about it.
Case in point earlier: in a Sherman tank, get one shotted from the air by aerial bomb. Fine. It then proceeds to happen twice more by the same person. Said person also happens to be 58-1 after about 15 minutes. Said person also belongs to [HERO], a clan known for cheating. To be one shotted the bomb basically has to fall down the commander’s hatch and into his trousers. To happen three times on the trot takes it outside likely odds.
It’s ruined the game. You can’t play when untouchable players clear the map. I don’t know what it’s like on console, but PC is woefully bad and DICE just seem to let it happen.
TBF, he might not have been cheating pending on which bomb he was carrying and what perks you have on.Case in point earlier: in a Sherman tank, get one shotted from the air by aerial bomb. Fine.

Was flying about yesterday with the 2x 500lb bombs and they would destroy most tanks - in the Pacific War map pack. European tanks seem to fair alot better but i think the Stuka with a certain loadout can destroy a Tiger in one hit. Its very easy to get a massive k/d ratio in planes if nobody is trying to shoot you down
But yes, there are cheats unfortunately in the game. Auto-aim, auto-shoot and people have the ability to kick you out of servers as well now. Im sure theres many more cheats available especially when if your a youtube star or an aspiring one, to show your epic skillz = money

Just played a game and a guy on the opposition went 73-0 in a plane. What’s the point of playing when that is happening? There literally no chance of shooting down from the ground as there isn’t enough AA Guns. You get in the air and unless you have grinded the 4 levels and died repeatedly to get the upgraded planes you can’t touch them.
It’s not even about skill it’s about fairness and giving all players the ability to play on an even playing field.
IM one of them though not sure what my highest killstreak is, i play with another and his highest has been 100 (unless hes topped it now) and yes i was there and saw it or you can check bf tracker.It’s not even about skill it’s about fairness and giving all players the ability to play on an even playing field.
Its easy to do on the Pacific War maps, flares and 2x 500lb bombs and away you go. When i play with him, we tend to find clusters of people and its a competition to see who can get the biggest cluster.
If your PS4, drop me a request lemming_james and ill show you the ropes in the plane. It does help having a wingman or randoms willing to help out otherwise you just get f

Servers are an absolute disgrace. It’s like playing on the internet 15 years ago. They don’t deserve the money people pay to play this game.
They've been having trouble recently (maybe ddos tts again?) Plus providers have throttled back internet speeds. I played last night with Slaney and it seemed okFor me it depends on what the team is like, im not a fan of the massive desert maps (hamada and that other one) as prefer tighter maps.
Game modes, much prefer breakthrough though as people have to play the objective (generally), though Hamada on breakthrough or airborne is very tough if attacking and your teams st

PS5 focus presumably?
If BFV ends where it's planned to does that mean the Germans will win?
yep think so, we already speak German as such anyway so....If BFV ends where it's planned to does that mean the Germans will win?

Im kinda annoyed that the did the pacific maps, given that they said they was going to concentrate on the battles that no-one knew about. We could have had Burma with the almost fall of the lines on the border, fall of Singapore, or back in Europe the night time raids on the African coastline, invasion of italy or defence of Malta etc.

Why would anyone want to play BF6 based on the way EA have shat on everyone playing BF5? It's disgusting the way they treat customers.
Releasing a half finished game was bad enough. But abandoning it now and expecting people to just pay for the next one stinks.
Last BF game I bought was 1. Glad I didnt bother with 5 and won't be buying anymore.
BF will end up like FIFA. New game every year and new price tag too.

TBH if you want this sort of game, what other options are there?
COD?
Then youve got the Battle Royale games that bore me, of PUBG, Fortnite, Apex?
I think this BF suffered due the rise in BR games popularity. They released their own version too late and by then alot had moved on due to the issues. They lost others when they f
ked around with the guns at Xmas for the newbs and made any new gun way OP (type 2a, M2 carbine, bar).Some i used to play with cried that it wasnt modern as they like to add on all the different/modern scopes and stuff yet ive preferred BF1/5 for this reason. PLayed Bf4 a few times recently and theres just no point sometimes with the thermal vision. Plus the hit detection is all over the shop on BF4 where as BF5 is alot better. If they region locked it or got rid of thing that penalises low ping players, it would be great
yep, jihadi jeeps and the like were great fun in bf4 but they stopped that in further iterations.
though its good that you have to go back to base or ammo dump to resupply your vehicle/grenades. Was on Siege of Shanghai on '4 the other week and the chopper wes became impossible to deal with, all they had to do was pop behind a building, auto-self heal and job done. Now youve got to fly and heal and hope not be attacked in the mean time.
I do think spotting flares should be banned (and i drop st loads on the Pacific war maps) and should do it so that the snipers or if spotted, then they appear to pilots as its toooooo easy to rack up kills at the moment and can stop a game easily

Every now and then Team Tard manage to save the game on the last flag but i only end up playing those games due to others in chat having ocd about finishing games.
Its still a better game than 4 and 1 though.
Sorry ive not been on lately or played together, currently working away from home

New assault rifle is awesome, 3 round kill it seems and no bullet drop...
