Looks very cool but that tracking grenade at the end, could be a big iisue. I can't see that getting picked up off the aircraft, wonder if the flares can loose it. I really hate lock on gadgets, takes no skill what so ever. Just seen this other video and a specialist kinda wall hack is a no go. That will be way over used and will be taken advantage off big time.
As been mentioned Dice has got a lot of work cut out, having different games modes, and having these specialist. Having to balance all this stuff out it's a very big challange

Makes sense.
My pc was only averaging 90-100 odd FPS in the beta. Occasionally hitting 120. 1440p with low settings.

Seems the move to the PC club was well planned my end…..
Yea but everybody hates that one total dickhead who camps out in aircraft the entire game and gets 100+ kills because no-one can shoot them down.

Let's hope it's better than the beta

Are you still on PS4? I imagine all of the old consoles struggle to run this, including the Pro and X versions. It's very heavy on the CPU's which is awful to say the least on those.

Yeah ps4 pro. All the footage before I played looked ace, obviously on pc etc. My game was pretty unplayable. Graphics were bad and connection was crap.

May have been time of day etc. I was hoping it would have been epic and pre ordered.
Aye and the player would be just as s**t even though they had all gear but no idea 😝😝😝😜😜😜😉

Actually chuckles, the statistics from me making the change seems to dispute that.
My WZ k/d average prior to computer - 0.81
My WZ k/d average post computer - 1.20ish.

Yeah from what I've read if you are on older consoles they will be put together. Maps are going to have different player counts too.
Old consoles 64 max I think, new consoles/PC 128.
OK medic 😂😂😉

Wont need a medic In that situation that’s for sure. I think @Cub. won’t get the chance to fire off a mag let alone get a kill 😂😂😂
I'm seriously looking forward to this game now, I've not pre-ordered it yet but going to make the most of the EA Play discount on the store!

Not true. Based on experience to date, I’ll be the only one in the game because you’ll be banned…

Looks fun from this but even he says he's not sure about it.
Someone in the comments, they could have a good point haha - "Am I the only one here who thinks this looks pretty neat? From gameplay aspect, it also looks something that I can play a few rounds and chill with mates, it's refreshing and looks pure fun after watching those sweaty warzone lobbies..."

Been trying to do a custom server, at the end it says it's Valid and when i press the button to create it it wont do it. I'm not sure whats going on. I'll try again later

Had a few games on the normal mode and couldn't get in the swing of things, doesn't feel right for me and just had my first go on Portal Mode and played on Battlefield 3 Classic Conquest and i really enjoyed it. Just playing the classic classes , guns and 64 players . the feel of the movement feels different too or it might be just my imagination, think i'll be playing Portal a lot more.

Yeah did some all out war and it wasn't great. Think I just need to get settled into it though.
Tried a game of BF3 and it was pretty good, nostalgia and not too OTT. Couldn't slide in it so think you are right that the movement changes.
Did the VIP hunting mode and that was pretty fun.
Tried Hazardzone and was pleasantly surprised, just need a full team on comms!

I had a few more games on BF3 yesterday as I couldn’t get onto the main game as it came up error maybe because I was uploading a 4K video to YouTube and it was too much. Shame there’s only 2 maps to BF3. I’ll have a go on that Hazardzone haven’t been there yet. I think it’s too much on the specialist and how they done the attachments I still can’t figure out or not how to configure them in BF3 or even if it’s possible as the comma rose doesn’t come up when I press the button for it.

The attachment setup on BF3 is that you have to put the attachment in the slot closest to the centre. It’s annoying, as in the BF2042 modes you just move up and down the “expanded wheel” so to speak. Would have been nice if they’d made it consistent.
Took @Jonnio and I a while to figure out last night 😂
Also, the server / lobby issue is a real problem for everyone, not related to you uploading that 4K vid;
I’d say jonnio and I were getting in one lobby out of every 5 or so last night. Annoying, but if you keep trying you do get in eventually. Worse on conquest.
It's bad, really bad. In fact it's almost comical.
The sound is atrocious. In 5 with a decent headset you could pinpoint footsteps with pin point accuracy. In this it sounds like you're up underwater ffs.
Don't know about PC but on Series X the graphics look worse than 5 does. Next gen my ass.
Why isn't there a proper scoreboard? Who decided it would be a good idea to make it impossible to see how many times you've been killed? I can only assume it's to stop the snowflakes feeling suicidal if they get a negative KDR.
Why does the movement feel so light? It feels like you're floating the whole time!
I could go on and on. I've played every battlefield since the start and this is the biggest let down in the entire franchise.

Tried some more conquest and started to get my eye back in on the sniper which made things more enjoyable. I'm not sure why there are so many capture points on conquest to "spread 128 players" then breakthrough there's only a couple of points in most sectors and it's a cluster f**k (there are some with 3 iirc). That's all there is for modes in All out war, I guess the community is expected to add all the other modes from previous games in Portal.
Trying to find these additional modes is a ballache and I saw a lot of the Portal games which had minimal players in and some called "fast xp", joined one and the enemy were all ai, they died in one shot and it was pointless as the amount of xp awarded at the end was so small, capped and didn't seem to apply to weapons (I could be wrong there).
Bugs I can remember encountering off the top of my head.
- jumping out of a vehicle and not being able to move properly/ads. Then when I died I was stuck in the downed/waiting for revive state til I backed out to the menu. Happened once.
- not being able to revive team mates in some instances.
- the constant connecting to game issue cub mentioned. That eased off later on but will have to see what it's like today.
- pumping bullets into a guy that appeared to be an enemy who took zero damage.
Other problems.
- UI being poor for attachments
- couldn't find a particularly good filter for portal.
- poor pings for a lot of the Portal custom servers and minimal amounts of them (guess it'll improve at release).
- when you are waiting for a revive you still can hardly tell who is a team mate or not. They only seem to glow in their enemy/friendly colour when not in line of sight.
So yeah, basically I spent most of last night staring at the connection error wondering what the f**k they have been doing for the last 3 years to end up with this.
Unless the Portal modes that are just set to "standard 2042" work the same way as All out war in respect to xp and weapon unlocks then you've literally just got Breakthrough and Conquest for that. I think I need to have a play at making a better Breakthrough less people mode and see how it works. Oh yeah, there's no obvious thing to click that takes you to make modes in game from what I could see. 😑🙈
The bits from the older games is great to have in but I kinda of expected a full "2042" experience under "all out war" with multiple modes and then Portal would be the bonus area for messing about.
I'll try some more today and see if it gets better. 😅

Yeah whatever the first sound setting I had on was awful for footsteps. They were audible but trying to pinpoint them was terrible. Think "headphones" worked better for me although I probably just stopped worrying about it because of all of the other annoyances. Like you say, it was perfect in 5.
To me the graphics don't look "bad" but there is this whole super clean/simplified look going on with it. I was fine with it in the Beta so can't complain. I'm impressed with most of the maps.
Think you're right on the scoreboard...they've also added a silly posing bit at the end of the round similar to Vanguard.

i agree about the footsteps, you can't pin point where there coming from, also a gree with the scoreboard and the comical stuff at the end of the game. I kinda wish i went for the hard copy instead of the digial clopy, can't get my money back now. There's a lot i don't like about this game but there's good things about it too it's like 60/40 for me on this. I don't like all the capture points and the zonesand it's too big. Portal for me is better
