Nice that they're fixing a few things, but the whole "I don't know what items this specialist has" thing has to be addressed. If I'm in a battle and I see a medic symbol, I run my ass to the medic no problem. Now I have no idea if this person's a medic or what? I do appreciate that the specialist is getting more notice about people being low on health or ammo, but that doesn't address the other side of it.

Yeah that's still the one big flaw. You have no idea what your squadmates could have. If people aren't on mic (and they never are) it is going to make teamwork harder. In past games, you knew spawning into a squad full of snipers was useless so you could find another. You could also pick a role that is needed more.

Still not getting this game. DICE can pretend to hear loud and clear, but end results speak for itself.
 
I'll wait at least a week because the game is going to be a massive ass fest at launch anyway. It's always the same and I'm tired of paying for it lol

Yeah I'm definitely doing the same. It is tough though because it launches on a Friday. I like when games hit on Tuesdays so you can just wait for the weekend to try it.

I'm slightly optimistic, but I'm definitely not getting hyped for launch. I still remember BF4's launch.
 
it gets worse. Now we got wallhacks and ballistic shield that looks like it deflects bullets back. Jesus christ.

I'm hoping the deflecting bullets thing was wrong. I think Jackfrags said that, but in that clip there was a teammate just off screen shooting. I think that person was shot by a teammate with a gun, not deflecting bullets. There's one teamamte to the right with just a gun.

Who knows though, I wouldn't put it past them. I really don't think that's the case though.

I only watched that vid from EA and it does look like it reflects back. Even if it doesn't the shield is bad enough on its own.
 
I'm definitely in wait and see mode with this. It launches the Friday before the big Thanksgiving week, so I'm going to give it a few days at launch and see how it goes. I think I'll enjoy this, but I really want to see how launch goes.

So they're "hammering quite severely" the next gen console CPU's on 128 player maps? A "server grade Zen 2 CPU"

Dang, the beta with 128 players my CPU was maybe running at 25-30% utilization, far from being "hammered"

I'll wait for TeKPhaN excuse on that.

It's a cross gen game that can be ran on ancient tech on PC.
Because of this when PC is supported the consoles are being held back.

Can it run on storage devices drastically slower than the XSX and PS5.
Can it run on CPU's/GPU's slower than XSX/PS5?
Can it run on less than 16gbs of ram?

It's built around ancient tech with a coat of newer tech paint.

Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
 
It's really easy to trigger you, you get so riled up when someone tells the truth and it's negative towards consoles. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

To be fair, at least he didn't claim that because PC has the video ram on the GPU and the CPU ram separated that the split RAM is causing performance hits.

He has claimed that in past console gens. But what he's claiming now is even dumber than that.
