Battlefield 6 | OT | Time to Sheikh things up.

Ive put around 20 hours into the game. I'm loving it more and more with each session, especially when squadding up with a buddy in tanks/helis. One major gripe so far is that I think the game would benefit from being 7-10% slowed down. Slower ttk, slower running, weaker slides etc to make it more tactical and less of a twitch shooter like cod.
 
Wow I am surprised at the negativity towards this game in this thread. I think the game is great, I honestly don't understand the complaints.

To me the game delivered in a big way, maps are good with lots of natural cover, destruction is just enough without going overboard. Guns feel good. Movement and time to kill are perfect, it is easy to get back to action, which has often been an issue.

I have played every battlefield (except 2142) since the beginning and I really don't understand all the complaints.

Game has a lot of issues, but its still fun af. Its a DICE game so it will always be filled with bugs and issues, but they are patching this game really fast, this is probably their best post launch support so far in terms of content and fixes/improvements. Huge patch coming in 2 days aswell with lots of good changes and fixes. We really just need some good big maps now. I cant wait for the naval warfare, that should come with big maps
 
Does anyone have this issue? When I view the weapon or character model and try to rotate it with my controller right stick, rotate left works fine but rotate right is really buggy.
Anyone else check this for me on PS5?
Thanks.
 
i just have so much more fun with redsec than the multiplayer. That oil map is fucking ass, you just get shot from all directions after spawn. stupid

Imagine it has something to do with him being one of the top 10 Battlefield players on the planet, probably top 5 tbh. Who knows.
 
I kind of fell off this game during the past few weeks. The new maps were lame, updates seemed to bring in just new issues. Zero interest at the moment.

But maybe some day I'll be back.
 
If the game felt or played anything like CoD I wouldn't go near it with a barge pole. People making these claims have the perceptive tactile discernment of Stevie fuckin Wonder stumbling around a giant soft play area.

fuck that shit, this game is already too CoD-like for comfort. I dont want everyone jumping and sliding around like they're on crack.

Enders is an idiot.

Stick to JackFrags promo vids mate.

Enders can be an arse, it's his personality and it lets him down sometimes but nobody's perfect. The thing is though, he is an expert on these games at a granular level. He knows more than most about how they work, and when I say most I mean 99.9% of the players. The devs have admitted they watch his videos. He's scientific and passionate about Battlefield. If you're too lazy or you already have your personal biases about his video analysis without watching it, well that's hardly the fault of Enders now is it. Rather, you just sound ignorant and just as petulant about it if not more.
 
The update has bugged the fire range; can't hit headshots in it anymore. Also if I return to the main menu after a game I can't play any of the featured game modes fr some reason. It keeps taking me to the challenges tab. The game seems to be stuttering as well...
 
Something feels off control wise within the new update on PlayStation, there's a slight input delay, but only with the analog sticks. Feels awful.

Also the new map has horrendous visibility. Actually, there's two versions of the map, or it changes randomly mid match I'm not sure. One of them is kind of sunny and that one has poor visibility, the other one is during a blizzard, so it's a little darker, visibility of players is better, but if you stay outside too long then your screen gets all icy and your health doesn't recover, even if there's a health pack at your feet, you have to go indoors to find a bin with a fire and hang around it for a while. It's interesting, not sure how I feel about it yet.

Holy fuck lol
 
Yeah the menus are all jacked up. The firing range... well... yeah doesn't register headshots, but at least the targets pop back up. But also the hitbox now extends waaay above their heads (and around the target in general). Very strange.

No stutter problems but they did add an FPS cap to the menu which defaulted to 60fps, so I was a little confused when I hopped into firing range. Cranked it up to 120 just because I think 60 was actively hindering me. But the testing is already borked by the fact the guns can be less accurate and hit the far targets more consistently as they're now essentially bigger...

The menus absolutely need a hotfix in hours not days. Massive QA failure.

There were only two things that bothered me:
Menu bug – I can only play through the custom search.

Bot kills being added back to the profile. My K/D went up by about 900 kills because of that.

And you know what's crazy? I only farmed bots once, right when the game launched, because I wanted to quickly upgrade a weapon. About 99% of my bot kills were in regular matches.

By the way, I was getting more full lobbies with actual players yesterday. Let's see if it improves. I remember there was an update where it got so bad to find matches with real players that I almost gave up on the game, but it eventually got better.
 
Ah, everyone is playing the "new" mode/map, so the other ones are full of bots...
Empire State with snow is fun at first. Players not having a healing factor that rivals Wolverine is good, but it gets boring after two matches in a row.

That said, my new CPU arrived. I upgraded from a Ryzen 3600 to a 5500X3D. I love my extra frames.
It got so much better to play, much more stable. In some moments the 1% low was even 20 FPS higher. It's been great. Too bad that on the day I was finally going to play seriously, the update brought problems.

The stats don't make any sense. I was at like 2.7, then they did the 'remove bot kills' pass, went down to 1.7, now I'm up to like 3.5.

I've killed a lot of bots, but they were all in Casual Breakthrough, which supposedly they had gotten out ahead on and were never counting the stats to begin with. That can't really be the case though.

K/D is a completely fake stat at this point anyway between revives deleting your deaths and 'assist as kill' mechanics awarding the same kill to two players.

Funny enough Redsec also can't track kills properly, the in-game kill counter almost never agrees with end of match screen. The total for the team seems to match, but individual kill counts are usually off by at least one.
 
This went from being one of my most anticipated games to completely forgotten. Every time I boot it up, I end up quitting within a few minutes.

I think loadouts are the major issue. Feels like I have shit weapons compared to everyone else, and having to grind for something that will soon be insignificant feels like a massive waste of time. I'd much rather play games where everyone is on the same playing field.

I honestly had way more fun with 2042 at launch, and Delta Force provided a way better Battlefield experience.
 
The bugs are one thing and im sure they'll get patched, but I can't get over the fact that the last big update for this season is just a snowy version of the most CoD-like map in the game that most BF fans like myself find excuriatingly boring to play. Not only that, but if you're all in on the FOMO aspect you're gonna have no choice but to play it for hours in order to grind through the awful challenges they added alongside it.
 
Dang I suck so bad. Some dude pulled a 0.50 cal mounted machine gun out of his ass and took out my entire team. Impressive. And lame.

The free weekend must have flooded the game with low level noobs like myself. I had way more fun. Now that I own the game, I am the low level noob getting like 5 points a match somehow surrounded by guys over level 100. So much for matching me up with people my skill level. It isn't fun as it is now.
 
I seem to enjoy the smaller maps more. Less snipers. All that seems to happen on larger maps is dying by sniper fire within a few seconds unless you are inside a vehicle.

Also, how do I pick a male character? I always end up as a women. Lame. Also, does the PC version have a server browser?

Go to the loadout screen and characters tab to the right. Unfortunately support is mostly female when you start, but you can unlock male characters after not too many challenges. And yes pc does have a sever browser.
 
Jesus fucking christ Dice.
Its always 2 steps forward, and 10 steps back, a back flip and faceplant with these guys.

You'd think after directly ripping off COD's interface, background themes and pakaged mtx they could at least have the menu's work but no, cant do that.

Dice are both some of the best dev's and some of the worst devs at doing basic updates and support. yeesh.

As much as I love this game now, it's such a clusterfuck with its UI.
The whole UI needs replacing, I absolutely hate it, it's like operating an old web browser.
