Do they not have any infantry only modes on smaller maps? Enjoyed those in other games for more fast paced action when playing solo.

There's Rush and TDM (for now, that playlist isn't supposed to last). Pretty much everything else has vehicles.

Breakthrough is where I have the most fun. You get a few vehicles, but most have been nerfed down to nothing and usually someone takes them out pretty quick.

Been playing this a lot lately and really enjoying it. Been a while since I've had fun playing an online shooter. Still wish they had a console only cross play because it's obvious when you're killed by a PC user. Games I do good in = majority console vs bad = tons of PC players no joke.

To be fair, there's a lot of lower level console players. PS free weekend and Xbox game pass. Lots of the console players happen to be brand new. So they happen to have a lot more noobs.

Mouse is better, but there's lots of players on controller who wreck. I did move from console to PC though. It does feel better overall. The mouse aiming is still kind of janky.

I've tried this game with Cross play off on PS5 recently. It seems hard to find a match, usually just the current limited time event will be the only games available. That said it is a completely different experience not getting melted by PC user. When I die in a cross play match like 9 out of 10 times I know whether it was PC or console. PC users will cry about aim assist but that s*** rarely ever works for me. Wish they would just have console only cross play it would be 10x better.

Yea the crossplay sucks, should of left it how it has been in all battlefield games (or at least console crossplay) it's always easy to find servers on the older games as well. Aim assist still sucks compared to K+M.

Funny looking back and mid December game felt good, but recently big meh. Just feels sketchy in most matches. Been trying to keep with it because there aren't any other MP shooters that interest me right now.

I was in that new 128 player infantry only conquest and we literally pushed the other team off the map. I check the scoreboard and a guy on my team is 169-1. The entire enemy team was bots by the end.

Tried that a few times. The first was some giant ass map that took like 2 minutes to walk to enemies only to get sniped. The smaller infantry only is fine along with TDM.

Hot take: I don't think the class change is going to be all that huge. It will help a few things like helping ground vehicles survive more since fewer people will carry launchers, but I don't think it is going to change the game into something 2042 isn't

I think the reasons people didn't like the game was the massive 128 player maps and the "walking simulator". Adding classes isn't suddenly going to turn a bunch of solo players into a team. They should have added more squad features to do that.

I just hope the Avancys doesn't become a beast with the engineer boost. That thing is already good and basically has zero recoil already. Constant steady scope is going to make recon even more annoying too.

Honestly I don't see the point of pushing guns to classes. I get that it is only a bonus and not limiting anyone, but it just feels unnecessary. Getting rid of the whole "this class can only use this gun" was a good thing.

I actually like this change. Incentives to use instead of forced to use is great.

The incentives here though are dumb. an SMG should draw faster anyway. Bipods should do that for LMGs. Instant steady scope for snipers in a franchise where people hate snipers. More ammo for AR is what Support is for. These are just weak and not good.
 
Got my first win last night, honestly I don't even care about classes in this game anymore, what they've done here works fine, just implement it in the next one.

Hopefully the prox sensor spam is a lot less. That thing is kind of crazy. It is like everyone has wallhacks all the time on points.

No new gun balancing though? Not that it is terrible, but it would be nice to bring some different guns.

Just me or are SMGs useless? Can't kill crap with this PBX.

Also, there are no close games in conquest. One side always seems to dominate.

I've been mostly playing Conquest Exodus and haven't noticed either of these problems, but it's all smaller maps and only 32 v 32.

Some of the SMGs are ok, but there's some really, really good short range ARs like the M5 that just shred. LMGs can just spray tons of bullets too.

Most situations and ranges just favor other guns. SMGs can be good if you're defending an indoor point or something.

The PP29 is probably the best one. The PBX is one of those good but not great kind of guns that gets outclassed a tiny bit by everything else. Get outside its effective range (which isn't super far) and the thing just gets you hit markers.

I rarely pick SMGs, just based on how there's too much combat at even medium range.

The M5 is just kind of stupid good right now. You can set it up for the close combat options where the rate of fire goes up and outclass any SMG, then change it to a medium range setup and dominate there too. The M5 has pretty much been the best gun in the game since launch.
