I know modern developers are terrible, so this is nothing new, but the industry really needs to have a discussion on what happened to UI's over the last 20 years. This game is an absolute mess when it comes to navigation and filling your screen with useless information.

The ingame UI or the Menus? the Menus are definitely ech, but the ingame UI seems good.

The fact scopes arent locked behind 25 kills or whatever is at least respectable. I love playing medic but shooting darts felt uneventful as fuck, and people force themselves to respawn the second they die, making reviving completely irrelevant.

Is medic any good this time around?

shooting darts? which BF was that a thing in? and Medic is good this game, reviving is instant with the defib, but it's optional w/ the normal revive in place so you can get more gadgets if you want. The crate doubles as healing and ammo resupply. They kept the good tech from BF2042, the buildable wall and the anti-grenade gadget (+an anti rocket one now). Also mortar is back.

I like that the helicopter gunners have been vastly buffed from 2042 where they were next to useless. Also while ladder isn't as strong as the grappling hook, I've found some cheesy spots which is nice.

I don't know who at DICE thought that when you press the Escape key to leave the settings it shouldn't bring you back to the main menu but instead asks you if you want to quit the game.
Also if you have the chat on and you press the Esc key, you can't see the menu because the chat window is not blurred.

EA really thought letting people on these buildings and NOT letting us fully destroy them was a great Idea. These two camped by A the entire game and there was nothing we could do about it.

I had that issue on the Cairo map near B where I can use the AA gun to destroy bits of the building but not every wall.

I'm still seeing movement niggers sliding all over the place and jumping to dodge shoots, but it's clearly not as effective as before. Their new tactic is to dive prone or crouch to dodge shoots like neo from the matrix.

They're still getting curb stomped 75% of the matches

Despite the issues I've read about, especially the secure boot retardation, judging by the posts here it seems to be an honest to God Battlefield game. That I am happy to hear.

It's got it's problems and I'm still iffy about the long term plans they have for it, but I'm going to pull an all-nighter since I'm off work tomorrow, the game is fun and I want to party like it's 2008-2012 and my Xbox 360 hasn't red-ringed yet.

That and my co-worker wanted to crossplay that's an added bonus I guess.

Curious, how did that go? Did you submit PTO and write Battlefield 6 or whatever?

It's probably a bit of both. They've done that a lot, but I think their main focus is just to artificially fuck with player retention by making unlocks really annoying. The battle pass isn't even out until the 28th so they have something to give a boost to player interest so while it's possible they'll add a class shortcut I don't think that's entirely the reason why. I kinda get it, if it was faster I'd have unlocked a metric fuckton of shit already.
 
I fucking hate the shoehorned female characters too but It's not as bad as BFV's horrible voice acting the women had and plus I expected some bait and switch shit, you're not getting battlefield 3/4 where its purely Chinese/Russian men vs white US men in current year from a AAA company, it's just not going to happen.

I'm also that guy that listens to music/videos/podcasts while playing videogames these days so it drowns it out. No you can't customize the male/female character models/voices in any way aside from the uniform camo and patches.

I'll turn off soldier and campaign VO under audio to see if that does anything.

Edit: @BingBongDingDong yep, turn off soldier and campaign VO in audio settings.

Also, I know SBMM is real but it feels like 75% of my matches tonight are this:

I unlocked the G36 and Spear which feel like they do shit unlike the default AR.

No, tomorrow is just one of my usual days off, and I got off work earlier today.

don't you have tanks and helis to flush them?

just like BF2 then.

Tanks have a hard time aiming that high, and for whatever fucking reason helis just ignore those rooftops. There's quite literally no cover on tall buildings, so in theory a chopper drive-by would wipe everyone out, but they just don't do that for whatever reason.

You try flying with an analog stick.
 
I don't understand how spotting works. Either it's inconsistent or I'm missing something?
