Battlefield V

So it seems EA and Dice are really listening to feedback. The Dec 4 patch sounds good. KE7 and Medic SMGs are getting rebalanced. Tank top gunner will be able to duck. The insanely overpowered bombers are being rebalanced. The stupid catch up mechanic in conquest is being reworked.

Plus a bunch of others changes, tweaks and bug fixes.

It was basically kicking in at the wrong time and gave way too big a boost. From Dec 4 it will only work on big ticket gaps and be a bit less powerful in general.

Teammate dragging is coming but no time frame yet.
 
Is there am M1 Garand in this game? I mean...that is an iconic WW2 weapon and I haven't seen it anywhere yet.

No :(

The DLC is free but they haven't said anything about adding weapons. They've only mentioned maps.

That is incorrect. Thay have confirmed there will be weapons, gadgets, vehicles, nations, maps and modes coming in Tides of War.

M1 Garand hasn't been confirmed, but it will come.
 
Some decent games last night. Although, our tank skills need a little more work. We are far from our BF1 wrecking ball tanking skills.

Yeah the tanks don't seem nearly half as powerful as they were in BF1. Those anti-tank grenades pretty much instant kill it. I did unlock an ability that gives some kind of reflective armor - so sticky bombs don't stick anymore. Should be helpful. We do need loads of pratice to get back to the wrecking ball days of old alright though.

Tanks are difficult to dominate with. Still a good driver and crew can do some damage. It feels like the older games where tanks are just magnets for fire. The panzerfausts might need a little toning down too, at least to forward armor damage. Now that the assault guns are good and not the medic ones, you see tons of rockets now.

The rockets weren't the problem for us last night. Neither were mines. It was sticky bombs left and right. More than once I had a couple of soliders destroy a brand new tank in seconds with sticky bombs. It needs some balancing there i think.

I've had no luck with those actually, but I've been playing medic a bit trying to level that up (frustrating).

The thing I hate about tanks is the guns aren't good enough. The machine guns don't do a ton of damage, and good luck trying to kill someone while the tank is bouncing around (at least on console). I feel like I shoot a million rounds at people and do 20 damage while they jump up and take me out.

The cannon is strangely inconsistent against infantry as well. I've had shells hit a couple of feet from an enemy and absolutely no damage is done. There was another one where a solider was crouch behind some scenery and I put a shell right in front of where his head is visible and it looks like the scenery absorbed everything.

So I just played this for six hours straight. Got on a squad with three other guys who all had mics. Ended up being some of the most fun I've had in a long time. We ended up sending friend requests to each other.
During those six hours we finished in the top 3 the whole time. Calling out enemies, marking targets, etc... Essentially playing the game it's meant to be played.
 
Why are they messing with the TTK? It is in a pretty good spot (if anything, weapons could be made a touch more effective except for the OP ones).

It is so nice to have guns that actually kill people.
 
I can't believe the battlefield community would be the ones concerned as about the TTK so I wonder where this is stemming from.

There seems to be a lot of "new" fans who jumped in for BF1 and think that is how the game should be.

They seem to be used to the super slow (boring) pace of BF1.

Of course Dice/EA should ignore these people and listen to the long time fans of the series.
 
What's the general consensus about the campaign?

Short. Cinematic. Fun on hard mode. Kind of disposable thorough. It’s more of an afterthought than a single player / campaign

Yeah, they need to buff all the other guns up to the few that are overpowered.
Disagree here. Just balance the few OP weapons and leave TTK alone. If they start making TTK for infantry weapons longer then things like flanking will die. You will have bunches of people moving together for no other reason than to survive...and thw gunplay will just be less rewarding .

we should keep in mind that there are no specifics here. They could just mean TTK of planes or armour or the Panzerfaust against infantry.
