Thanks for the advice. I tweaked my settings a bit like you suggested and seem to be doing a little better. I guess it’s just going to take a little while to get used to.
Sure! Practice is huge, and just kinda try to enjoy the process because if you get better at Battlefield, you will be better in every FPS you play. It’s a game that really rewards using cover and staying alive. That’s a skill that translates to every other shooter.
Notes for the next big update.
Here’s an overview of what’s new:
- New vault weapons: AEK 971, RPK-74M & MP443
- IBA Armor Plate Overhaul
- Chat Improvements
- X6-Infiltration Device Improvements
- OV-P Recon Drone Improvements
- Specialist Mastery Progression Alterations
Yes, when I first got the xbox last year, and was trying controller it felt awful. Once I got the settings right for me it felt much better.
I also made use of the bot mode to try changes to settings out, and see how it feels without the chaos of a live round.
I’ve been playing a bit lately, but still getting wiped by PC players. For comparison, I went back and played some Halo Infinite multiplayer the other day and did fine. I will try tweaking the controls some more, but I really wish they have some kind of controller-only game mode. I know you can turn off cross-play, but there aren’t that many Xbox players in my region.
Jack had a good video yesterday about one of the added weapons. I’ve been playing this off and on the last couple weeks and enjoying it quite a lot. It’s definitely the game everyone wanted it to be now IMO.
I didn’t have enough time to unlock the gun last night but I’m not too far from doing so. Looking forward to trying it out.
They’re finally working on getting attachments and skins onto the vault weapons.
Once you unlock those weapons for use in 2042, it becomes a pretty obvious omission. Most vault guns aren’t the best but the AEK in particular is really solid as seen in Jack’s video up above.
Season 5 trailer. For whatever reason the lore is that this takes place 5 years after the time period of the launch story. I’m not sure anyone cares about 2042’s lore at this point.
So, the game fast-forwards to a time when no one is playing it anymore because EA has launched several more Battlefields in the interim and the 2042 servers are being shut down? Sorry, I didn’t watch the trailer, just guessing.
No, no, no. It’s called New Dawn. It’s five years in the future when nobody remembers Battlefield 2024. It’s like a New Dawn man.
The game is really good now. You should give it a try.
Agreed been playing it a ton lately. I was tongue in cheeking cause it really is a New Dawn, nudge nudge wink wink. That’s as close to calling it a reboot as they were willing to get. It’s changed a ton and mostly for the better. They wish they had launched it in this state for sure. I’m prolly biggest BF fan on here so YMMV but I love the state the game is in now.
I’ve played a lot in the current season. I really like what they’ve got now. It feels like Battlefield. I also think they figured out that the 128 player modes are best with the focused modes like Rush XL. Blowing up those M-Coms with piles of defenders, massive smokescreens, and waves of guys on foot going toe to toe is pretty damn exciting.
It’s a really nice change of pace from Call of Duty.
DICE just tweeted that a season 6 is coming after this next season.
I need to start playing again. I haven’t played since around Xmas time.
Update today. They’ve added attachments to Vault SMGs and pistols. Adjusted how ammo crate drops work and done some squad management tweaks.
They’ve reworked Hourglass, one of the worst maps that shipped with the original game. Same as the other map reworks. Lots of sand berms, shipping containers, and concrete blocks scattered around, but the biggest change is the stadium area is completely removed from play.
Okay, so season 6 does include a new map, but the takeaway is that it’s basically going to be rehashing all the event modes and store content from earlier seasons.
This franchise really needs to shape up. They dropped the ball with BFV and then once they got it to an acceptable and fun game, they dropped support. They could have added the Eastern Front to make more $$. Then 2042 was another mess.
Hopefully the next title is good.
