Battlefield V

[lemmingjames]

Announcement on the 23/5/18 but rumoured to be set in WW2.

Apparently someone figured out that if you read some plaque above a door in Fort De Poo (think its this map) then went to some poster or heard water dripping, which naturally is in Morse Code for ea.com/neverbethesame i mean who the fk has time to figure all that st out?

[lemmingjames]

If they did do another Vietnam, it'd be good if the followed the doomed mission failures on both sides or the atrocities committed as both sides seem to forget what they did.

Though I don't think the world would let you act out another Mao lei

You're missing a couple of things that I said I think...

I don't want to have to do AA the whole round, every map......but because the vehicles are so dominant, have unlimited ammo and respawn far too quickly, it's a constant struggle and you can't enjoy any other aspect of the game.

I agree the vehicles add a layer of realism, unpredictability and immersion and that's great but they are too dominant, too much of the time.


People shouldn't be going 60 - 1.....that's not balanced

I like players like you that enable me to go 100-1 in the plane :-P and dominate the air

If you shoot the player down enough theyll soon get bored and give up or quit

[lemmingjames]

probably september with a november release date?

[lemmingjames]

are all the youtubers sat in the same room playing it or at individual houses?

[lemmingjames]

Are people really crying that a beta of a game is buggy and therefore the games st?

You do know that first release will be buggy as Well?

People are still buying cod? Seriously?!?

[lemmingjames]

Does anyone play Rush?

Id rather they finish off the maps/popular game modes to make it as smooth/glitch free as possible day 1 than try and get everything fixed and fail at everything

[lemmingjames]

Got to be honest but im not a fan.

I think if they reintroduced spotting then it would be better but so many people just sitting in corners waiting, plus it seems that i can be insta dropped yet plough rounds into people and get fk all. Does make it look like theyve pander to the people with st pings/connection again as BF1 was never like it.

It seems the hackers are already out in force on the PC side of things but on PS4 I haven't noticed sniping being easier, if anything I'm currently struggling to get the head shots and the fact they have turned the damage down means a quick swap to a sidearm isn't the guaranteed kills it once was.

Bullet drop is huge and hard to gauge as the sights aren't the best at this point in the game, hopefully things will improve in time when you can actually see where the bullets are ending up.

I'm still not as excited about it as I have been on previous games, if anything I'm little bit bored with it already, that said I still haven't got over not being able to play Karkand 24/7 so I'm probably not the best target.

Yeah im not sure about the longevity of it for me, as find its pandering to those with st internets. IM still hitting people with half a mag or so and then get dropped instantly, its st though there was only a few 100+ pings in the game so im guessing the ME havent received the game yet lol. Either that or people just hiding in the corners waiting.

Regarding sniping, was playing with someone last night, on chat etc, he was head shot after head shot with the sniper rifle, think he went 27-0 or something like that.

Flying is very reminiscent of War Thunder though the customising and upgrading things is a pain in the arse. Its also alot different to BF1 in which i was quite handy vs someone else i know who was st, yet in this its role reversal

[lemmingjames]

i think its due to the weapons you get at the start, they suck balls in the main until your able to upgrade them (say upgrade but its just 4 specialisations) as i wasnt feeling it but now getting into a groove (once ive upgraded a weapon).

Was playing a game the other day on Grand Operations and some scrub got round to where we respawn so i believe he went 80-10 or something. I think they need to change it so that like in BF1, if you shoot then your hi-lighted on the mini-map, not that anyone uses the mini-map mind you

[lemmingjames]

PLayed on an American Server earlier, felt so good insta-dropping people, think i went 70/17 by flanking around and picking them off as they ran about. My squad got in on it as well so we decimated quite a few. Might be the way forward?

Mine seems to crash about every other round now when loading. Starting to p**s me off.

That happens to someone else i play with, every round he returns back to the main screen. Though he has a low ping, in BF4 he was a laggy bullet sponge and even in this he complains about rubber banding.

Tend to play Grand Ops lately as its a different game mode each round but fk me was one round last night dire, 20/31 of the opposing team where sniping and not willing to push the objective. - Gotta protect the k/d ratio even though they all got bhed.

Also theres a spotting option in the support class, it spots people for your teammates if you put the player under suppression/hits them.

[lemmingjames]

Is it just me or is it starting to get abit tedious now?

Ive seen that its not done so well in the release figures either and 'bombed' compared to BF1 figures

[lemmingjames]

This game can be so infuriating at times. In BF1 id normally finish top 10 yet this game im in the bottom half of the table then in a game yesterday i was sucking bad, not sure if it was due to some laggy person joining the game (if that affects servers i dont know) and insta-dieing then about halfway through i had a lil killing spree and nailed 4 in a row and drop shotting people from then on to the end of the round.

Also had one of the opposing team standing right next to me but as everyone is similarly dressed, neither of us knew that the other was the 'enemy' its a joke. Im not sure if its due to spotting being removed and therefore theyve removed the red/blue/green names above players but they need to do something.

I know others on here that i play with have nothing like the issues i have so not sure what is going on.

And finally, was playing on an American server yesterday with some Americans (obviously), all chatting in comms when one of them starts complaining about out of region players and how the top 5 will all have high pings and how EA are pandering to those with stty internet connection etc., lo and behold, most of the top 10 for both sides had 80+ pings (i was in 5/6th position pending on when you looked)

Ah, I see. So actually I can do away with Virgin fibre optic, save a load of money every month, and get a better K? Win-win!

or just play on american severs before those in the ME get the game ;-)

even scrub slaney had a ping of 300+ yesterday in a game, fking scrub cheat

[lemmingjames]

Not many people use their mini maps anymore either

When is hardcore coming? i can't find anything on it.

Does it really need it given how 'quick' it is to drop people and theres no spotting (unless someone has the perk on in support)?

Had a game on Friday night, top guy was Finnish, went 76-10 as a medic! Nobody could touch him or the Spaniards playing on his side, theyd insta-drop you and youd put a clip into them with the KE7. They left next round and the difference was night and day.

The map thats in the desert (the one where the German bombers can bomb the allies at the start fro cheap kills, is so fking dull. Its just so big and takes so long if the Allies dont want to push. Even if it was half the map, itd still be fking huge.

Thainy = hider/camper = scrub
