Literally what happened? This game sold like hot cakes initially. With a new CoD releasing next week I don't think we're gonna make it.

ban steam charts threads

YOU GUYS, WHY NUMBER GO DOWN? LINE CAN GO DOWN?
LINE GO DOWN NOT GOOD!

what's with the spergout, battlebros?

I actually wanted to try the BR but the game started yapping about secure boot or some shit so I uninstalled and went back to Deadlock

>>725030583
I mean yeah, there's an anti-cheat in most FPS games.

The question is, will Battlefield escape Duckof?

Are we going to witness a time where more people are running paid desktop wallpapers than playing the biggest milsim IP on the planet?

>>725030727
Tarkov comes out in a week. Interested to see how many people buy it on steam. BF6 I chose not to buy because of small maps and retarded skins that they promised they definitely wouldn't add (lie).

I think people are hungry for hardcore fps and they made bf too babified.

Worst Battlefield to date. No, I never played the last one.

>>725030019 (OP)
It has no SOVL

>>725031364
Everyone said it was back though. What more could they possibly have done to not make this game "too babified?"

>>725031743
I'd say it's not bf enough. Small maps. No vehicles. Not bf.

>>725031482
>no, I'm not qualified to make this statement, but I'll make it anyway
retard

>>725031364
How expensive is tarkov finna be?

>>725031862
They have six million different editions

Game runs like shit. Beta ran mostly fine, dunno what changed.

It's not even a low framerate, constant rubberbanding and shit. It can take up to like three seconds to stop moving when I let go of a key. Feels terrible.

>>725031806
It's just Battlefield 2042 but 40% more expensive.

>>725030019 (OP)
Because we beat the campaign and there are other games to play.

>>725031482
>No, I never played the last one.
Smart man

Until the hit reg is fixed. I hope tgis game continues to bleed players. Shooting a guy in the back dealing no damage for them turn around and laser me in 3 bullets is incredibly annoying. Or watching your rocket phase through a near dead tank and watch the explosion happen behind it.

What's the best multiplayer map and mode to have lots of helicopters to play around with and accomplish associated challenges?

>>725031943
Is it true the pvp and pve are separate purchases? If so that's real stupid.

>>725030019 (OP)
EA isn't fixing anything despite the fanbase being very vocal about the bugs.

>drone glitching destroys matches
>challenges are still badly worded and won't track properly
>characters are still randomly bouncing up from terrain
>bullet lag is still horrible

And those are just the most evident problems. Nothing is being fixed and that's why the game is bleeding out players.

>>725030019 (OP)
I hate battle royale maps with lots of verticality. It always leads to one sided encounters that makes the whole experience miserable. Either make it flatter or give me a grappling hook. Pic related is the only map that nailed it right out of the gate

>>725030521

I'm tired of you people shitting out low quality threads, steam charts, twitter trash, porn threads, /pol/ garbage. You all look alike to me.

>>725030238
why do people post this every thread? I understand banning Twitter post threads or threads that is just a picture of a porn star asking what game she plays. steam chart threads though feel very much video games related since the playerbase and health of a game, especially a multiplayer one, is a contributing factor for some people when trying to decide if they want to buy a game or not. I've never understood why there seems to be a portion of the user base that hates seeing these charts.

Its kind of like game review scores. People start making up their own interpretations like shit like "its good for an x game" or "but you can't compared it to x" or stuff like that. The numbers become meaningless and just become an excuse to argue over nothing. Might as well start having a "fun" thread where some people say I'm having fun and others say I'm not

>>725036076
fun is a personal experience and only the person claiming to be having fun can know if they're actually having fun or lying. game reviews I would assume most people stopped taking as gospel over a decade ago when every single major release just so happened to be a 10/10 masterpiece and any reviewers who claimed otherwise weren't allowed to review the sequels for some reason that definitely wasn't/isn't because they're paid for scores. user count is a concrete number that isn't up to personal interpretation. if 2 people play a game then 2 people play the game.

>>725036076
Why even have a video games board? Isn't it all the same shit you're describing?

Is it my imagination or did they just lower the amount of adreniline kills needed to unlock the spawn beacon from 30 to 3?
I guess they couldn't fix the bug with it so they just made it easier?

>>725037671
They lowered the requirements of a lot of challenges earlier today

>>725030238

What problem do you have with player data?

>>725030019 (OP)
Played the open beta, it's just BF4 with a brown filter instead of green filter. I prefer BF1.

>>725043881
I love everything about BF1 except the low skill RNG spread gunplay. It's heartbreaking that a nearly perfect FPS was ruined by such a massive deal breaker. I know casuals love it because of the gunplay, thoughever

BFV is actually my favourite Battlefield to play.

>>725044516
It's Battlefield perfected. Only problem is there is literally no anti-cheat. Like they never even bothered to put one in. I would still be playing that today if not for that.

>>725045174
On BoB servers it's generally fine.

I've been playing this game with my cousin. It makes me feel stressed and angry after every session. I don't like it.

>>725039587
Is there a list somewhere?

>>725034548
Hun? It's free

>>725045995
YWNBAW

>>725045395
Same here. The gunplay, the corporate sanitized military theme, shit aesthetics, f2p style main menu, 25 dollar season pass that only comes with a single fucking map.

I'm genuinely surprised that BF6 wasn't review-bombed after S1.

>played bf6 for some 10 hours

looking forward to cod and actually getting unlocks

>>725045275
Do they have TDM/DOM servers?

>>725046081
Here he is, janitor sama

It has very good foundations but the maps and flow are beyond atrocious, and I believe 80% of the problems stems form that.

Everything is set up so you can get blindsided at every moment. They're a swiss cheese without flow, rythme or reason.
When I get out of cover to shoot at someone, I always assume that spending 2 seconds outside means I'm dead, and I need to kill in less time than that, or just ket killed. It doesn't help that you can get sniped from almost anywhere, and snipers are very easy to play in that episode.
It feels very cramped, I have no breathing room, doing wide flanks isn't possible like in BC2 or BF3.They're basically TDM maps around some objectives.
You can notice that easily in breakthrough : The offense territory is sometime a few meters away from the objectives, there's no neutral zones at all, you get out of spawn and you have to move 2 seconds to be in the line of sight of the whole map.

I feel like their warzone is a massive flop, they're behind the curve, doing an extraction would be a better move.

>>725045880
Most got reduced by like 90% its comically easy to unlock them now, even the infamous recon got changed to damage over 75 m instead of kills

I haven't played since the update
I have battlepass fatigue
>I-ITS OPTIONA-
Don't care.

Game is worse than 2042.

>>725047283
Still a bit proud of myself for unlocking the recon one pre-update and without cheesing it.

Not a single thing makes any fucking sense, especially the weapon attachments. The descriptions genuinely seem like filler text rather than legit mechanical descriptions.

>>725030019 (OP)
Everyone is playing BR, the straight modes always have bots now. Also I keep getting matches in Blackwell and I immediately disconnect whenever I do so, fuck that map.

are these organic view numbers?

>>725034249
They will never realize that Battlefield and Call of Duty are more alike each other and it's been like this since 2008.

>>725049415
they only have fast gameplay in common
bf is about teamplay, big maps and vehicles
cod is an arena shooter for lone wolves

>>725048614
>the straight modes always have bots now.
Yikes, definitely not going to buy it then. I tried out 2042 like 4 months after release and I was getting into servers with a bunch of bots. I'd rather wait 10 minutes for a fucking match if I have to, I don't like being manipulated by capitalists.

It's a bad game. Buyer's remorse is real. I don't want to give money to corpowhores. I fucked up.

It truly is the Corporate Memphis of shooters.

Everytime I play this game I'm thinking about how cool it would be to play BF V.
Too bad I have it on Origin, and fuck that.

I bought this game and I want a refund.

>>725030238

I hate how people look at steam charts to determine if a game is alive or not and if it isn't hovering above a certain metric people assume it's dead.
>Ask friend to play game with me we both have.
>That game is dead anon!
>It only has a few thousand players compared to what it had on launch!!
>It's a literal 4 player lobby game
Charts have brain rotted people into not playing games unless they have 100k+ concurrent players. It's sad really.

If you're gonna add women to a somewhat "realistic" military shooter, I'm just not gonna buy it. How many times does this have to be repeated?

>>725030019 (OP)
>Literally what happened?
literally it's a massive fucking success. I've played it every single day since release.

People went hard in the paint playing this game 8 hours per day. Now people are finally starting to relax and only play 1-3 hours per day.

>>725051449
300,000 supposed players and Portal is empty, practically dead.

We need more maps like Empire State for conquest. Fuck vehicles. The gunplay is great, give us some more no vehicle conquest maps.

Most of my steam friends are FPS hounds, most played is 40 hours, the average is like 12. I haven't seen anyone play it in a week. All these guys have like 800+ hours in BF4 lol.

you'll probably get a lot of flak, but I agree
sure, vehicles are core mechanic of BF games, but fuck them
Assault (aka "Sheeesh bro this game is bussin but I wish it played more like CoD, feel me bruh": The Class) can't do shit
Support can't do shit
Recon can't do shit unless player has C4 as one of the gadgets and even those are kinda weak
Engineer, the tankbusting class, also got kinda nerfed and doesn't even carry enough rockets to destroy a theoretical helpless tank solo

Breakthrough on Cairo is pretty much unplayable since there's some faggot shelling points from far away 24/7

6 maps when 4 of them were in the beta is not fucking enough. The game is destined to be burned through fast and forgotten about.

Sup can supply Eng with more rockets and Rec can paint tanks, but what can you do about tank alone?
I'm genuinely asking, my last BF game was 3 and vehicles are filtering me hard

Who's the dude in the Unflinching assault skin that's the 4th unlock on the battlepass? He shows up on the main screen cinematic too. He looks so familiar.

>>725053801
Make sense. Those who were born there probably have massive real estate and are mostly boomers, so they are voting the establishment.

>>725053891
Hold on, maybe I misunderstood your post.
Are you saying, can't do shit in the general sense, or specifically against armors?

>>725053968
And those who migrate are parasites who want a free meal.

>>725054041
specifically against armor of course
Assault having no actual team purpose other than niche situational moments is also an issue imo but whatever

BF6 could take out vehicles from the game entirely and the playerbase would rise. People hate vehicles more than you think. They outright ruin the game.

>>725031953
honestly one of the best optimised games of the current generation, move on from windows 7 bro

alternatively check your vram usage, high texture quality takes up shit loads and honestly the game looks fine on low textures anyway

>>725054278
Deploy Beacon is cool I guess, forgot about that

>>725053968
Correct. The people who have a stake in the City voted Cuomo or Sliwa. The hipsters and gentrifiers voted for the guy making impossible promises. They can always move back to their parents in flyover country when Mamdani fails.

>>725054278
My bad then.
Sure you're right about armor being very annoying, but this is dur to maps like >>725047258 said.
Vehicle have no wiggle room to manoeuvre, and no way to run around the objectives, so they transformed them into a massive wall of death that must be kept alive by engies.

Think about Overwatch, engineers are basically healbitches and the tanks are the... well tank role that kills everything.
They are not functionally a vehicle anymore, but more like front-line breakers that will break the stalemate.

Grim, I know.

I played the beta, twice. First one i enjoyed , second with the NY maps, nah fuck this. All the issues raised with the maps are valid but they were the worst in the NY map. Aside from the design, the look of it was so boring, grey concrete construction zones, yawn.

I expected a mix but doesn't seem like there's any huge maps with tons of vehicles, so I'm not gonna buy.

What had Bf1 that other battlefields didn't?

>>725052871
Vehicles are clearly an after thought in BF6. They suck dick. If you're dying to vehicles when they're the weakest they've ever been you're just bad.

i enjoyed bf2042 on release far more than bfshitx. Idk why people hated it so much.

>>725055138
It doesn't matter they ruin the gameplay flow of the game.

>>725054881
You'd think with the huge variety of buildings in NYC and Downtown Brooklyn they could have done something besides soulless concrete construction.

>>725055287
In BF6's shit tier small cod maps I agree. But still they should be included because they make infantrytroons cry.

What button do I press on console to reload vehicle weapons? In the past it was X/Square but now that ejects you from the vehicle.

At least ladder is useful for shooting in unexpected positions and getting into unexpected places, decoy beacon is basically the main thing carrying the class as well. Grenade launchers aside from the breaching round aren't too bad either, just wish the AOE was a bit bigger.

You'll further realize that marketing creates longterm problems to rent out shortterm problems.

Virtually every promise he made is stuff that has to be done at the state level, not the city level.
Almost all the rest of his promises are stuff that has already been tried and failed. Hence part of his popularity with the youth being that they're not old enough to remember how badly they all failed last time they were tried.

what has been tried and failed?

>>725063578
Freezing the rent, for example. And that was less then a decade ago, and led to the deterioration of housing stock and the lowest vacancy rate in history. Meanwhile developers don't build affordable housing unless forced to by the government because it's no longer profitable.

>>725063793
>Meanwhile developers don't build affordable housing unless forced to by the government because it's no longer profitable.
I should add that socialists are against affordable housing mandates, because they prefer housing projects to concentrate the poor together while they live in luxury housing with zero low-income tenants. (Mamdani's Assembly district is full of said luxury housing with zero affordable apartments.)

>>725063793
Developers don't build affordable housing because of NIMBYs and local zoning.

>>725064807

Is this like how capitalism always turns into communism when something bad is pointed out about it? Or it's not real capitalism. Or capitalism has never been tried etc etc.
