It’s NATO vs “Pax Armata.”


The NATO troops have US flags on their chests so idk.

So like
Are there different voice callouts and character models per faction? It sounds nitpicky but it’s immersion and one of the first things i remember about BF4.

Yes, Pax Armata sounds a bit more French/Eastern European than NATO does, NATO sounds American or British depending on who's talking. There are also blatantly different character models.

Some of the voice lines are pretty funny too, one of the ones that cracked me up was I think for Pax Armata where one of the soldiers goes "Uh, I'd like to report that there's a big fucking tank on the field" or something along those lines.

I wish I could play, unfortunately EA doesn't like Proton or Wine.

I'm in a similar boat, I had secure boot on "not UEFI/Other OS" to allow Grub to install without any hassle and now I can't turn it back on to play. Looks like I'm not going to get this after all.

Yes, like Prof Donger said.

I’m just tryna figure out if the engineer on both teams is a female or not.

On a brighter note, Microsoft is firing a shit ton of Americans and hiring Indians only, expect Windows to continue to tank until it's not worth using anymore.

6 more hours until I can party like it's 2011 when BF3 came out.

For NATO It's an Asian chick


For Pax Armata I think it's a white chick, which makes some sense, all of the character models are model swaps.

Yeah if I decide to get the game I’m gonna be 100% swapping this skin out for a man hopefully.

hopefully they let you like in BF5 and 1 but i doubt it,

PSA for Battlefield 6 on PC:

If you have the EA overlay off, the game is limited to 50% GPU usage.

I have NO idea why this is.

But beta is beta.

That's an odd bug, was the BF6 performance metrics saying 50% GPU usage or was this from Rivatuner/HWinfo?

I don’t get it.

So i stole this from Twitter, This might just be a placebo though since people in the twitter comments are saying it helped or it didn't help. I didn't notice any differences since overlay was apparently on by default for me

One really annoying bug I've encountered multiple times per match is deploying via spacebar not working and having to double click or press the deploy button

Seeing as turning the overlay off also stops you from buying shit, it's a feature not a bug.

I should have expected nothing less from EA.

I've noticed that too. Glad to find out it's not just me. I had a theory that maybe I was hitting space without having a spawn selected but that doesn't seem to be the case. Spawning is much more reliable with double clicking. Another cool little feature may be some sort of notification that a squadmate is trying to spawn on you, so that way they can back off a bit from combat.

The TTK is unsurprising if the game is based around Bad Company 2. I went from MW2 to BC2 and got a rude awakening in how easily you die and get the floor mopped with your brain matter if you try the CoD strategy of running around like an idiot. However, the last few games felt more CoD-like than previously, and you could do a bit more run-and-gun than was permissible in the past.

I'm hoping it's the former, and the CoD players are just getting mowed down for being reckless.

The ttk isnt fast at all. The damage is lower than previous games. Try using the engineer's SMG or the M4A1. You have to be extra on it. Another thing is I don't even think you need to play with sound on, its easier to just play the minimap.

I guarantee people arent using the 9mm smg or the pistol if they think the games weapons are fine. Or they're using aim assist on controller. Ive found the same inconsistency with weapons as modern COD. i don't accept any of it as a skill issue. Its understandable when you get ganked, that's not what I'm complaining about. What i'm complaining about is how the weapons have random recoil directions with bloom, and it doesn't really make sense. Once you "lock in" to how the game works its basically just flank and ensure you get a kill.

Hopefully they let us adjust the HUD, the Minimap being in the bottom left corner irritates me.

I play on a 21:9 and you can do "HUD PADDING" to get it square. I agree that the entire hud should be able to be customized. There's a ton of options randomly strewn about, they need to rethink the menu system. Its funny when some options have ALL CAPS and others don't.

Not related to Battlefield but still related to EA and DICE, Is SW battlefront 2 worth a shit these days? I see it also still has a healthy playerbase.

 

[Caddo Cobgang]

Ill give the Open Beta a try tommorow (assuming Fedex doesn't Nigger out because I had to order a replacement Xbox Controller), i see YouTuber reactions have been mostly positive, theres gonna be ragebaiters regardless of how good it is, but ill see how I feel when I actually play it, 2042 was Janky as shit so hoping this one is better, with Call of Duty and Halo you know you are at least getting decent core gameplay even if theres other aspects of the game that are total shit, so BF has the most to prove out of the Shooterslop Trinity at least for my tastes.

It’s NATO vs “Pax Armata.”

im imagining that would be in-universe equilviant to a Russian or Chinese led coalition but they don't want to mention them by name to avoid pissing off the Russians or Chinks, kinda lame but ill take what I can get, the fact NATO got mentioned by name was surprising to me already

Pax Armata is a Private Military Corporation bankrolled by former NATO states whose agenda threatens to throw the world into global conflict.
