I'm also convinced the medic distance meter doesn't even fucking work half the time. I've waited for 10+ seconds for a medic to run over, saw none of them getting closer, gave up, and then heard the defibs buzzing over my corpse as a support runs over to revive me at the last second even though I never saw them on the distance meter. Just another thing that doesn't fucking work properly.
Gauntlet could've been fun if it weren't designed around the plate system. Though, I also dislike the ADHD nature of the mode. It feels like it's tailored directly towards the 7 second attention span Twitch viewer.
I noticed most if not all in-game chat is done in relation to tanks. "Wow thanks guy you let me carry the team to victory by afking on my ass for 30 mins" or "we're losing cause no one is doing the same to our tanks". You need like 3 people actively emptying their RPGs on a tank to kill it. Likewise every 3-4th person is a medic so reviving isn't really seen as an honorable duty.
Honestly they need to add some of the stuff they added to the Battle Royale mode to the base game when it comes to dealing with tanks. Maybe make them replacement end perks for the different classes.
It's battlefield, dude. It's a team game and yes, every once in a while you will need your team to work together to take out a vehicle who's running rampant. On top of that, MBTs and IFVs are not that strong against any remotely competent team. AT mines are free as fuck and the RPG is a railgun. You can even use the LAW if you're so inclined for some free damage and to force the vehicle to back off since they're forced to take that damage if they don't have their smoke/aps up. All it takes is one dude getting behind a tank to kill it in less than 10 seconds with the RPG, place an AT mine and kamikaze, or a recon to place some C4. Throw grenades over the tank to target the repair monkeys, or flank the tank while someone else distracts it to kill them. You can't expect to kill an entire tank with ease just because you have an RPG. It's still a tank.
Yeah most vehicle drivers in this game are a bit skittish when it comes to damage. I've driven a few tanks and Bradley's off the front line of a fight a few times by killing their pocket engineers and hitting it with a rocket once, causing the driver to panic and run to get healing done.
You'd think that Battlefield would translate well into the battle royale formula: team synergy, big maps, multiple vehicles, destructible environments. It's not fun having to die and redeploy into another match.
In the br you get one free redeploy before your out and need a teammate to manually redeploy you, so as long as your team isn't braindead you can last a decent amount of time.
I wish they went for more of a Planetside style approach where it's large teams fighting for actual territory control on the large map.
SMGs melt you in seconds. I think they even removed the Initiation BR mode that have bots. Where is the fun in this? Inb4 "gid gud" comments.
Arguably you can say they did this in 2042 with the Conquest 128 mode with the huge maps with zero cover and being divided up into sectors, it just sucks that it was done in 2042 so it was shit and not fun!
Sounds like it would be a very fun mode but I don't think maps in this game have enough destructible things to account for it unless if they made buildings and walls regenerate.
It helps out with the crappy sun glare in the new map, but yeah, outside of that map it’s awful.
Well, Firestorm was a one-life affair. You die, you die. I think Firestorm came out when battle royales were starting out. I recall Warzone initially being one life only as well. BF6's battle royale gives players second chances and allows redeployments from surviving squad members.
