Have been playing for two days now and am generally happy about the performance I’m getting. The game defaulted to Ultra at 3440x1440p ultrawide and I’m getting 90-100FPS most of the time. The game runs smoothly and when I get any lag everyone in my squad gets it too. It seems to be tied to some levolution on the maps. This is with 5950x, RTX3080 Vision and 32GB 3200MHz RAM.
things I don’t like are, as usual, vehicles being way too strong. You can hit a tank four or five times with the M4 and they’re still running around. Same with things like the hovercraft, massive amounts of HP or ridiculously low damage done by the M4. Anti tank mines are a high level unlock so at the moment ground vehicles are running around with relative impunity ripping people to shreds. That you don’t get a damage value from your vehicle hits is a travesty. You have no idea how much damage you’ve done and a hit to the side or rear feels the same because of this.
Helicopters are strong too, but thankfully teams have learned pretty quickly that even just three or four people running Stingers can take them down pretty quickly. They do need a longer range against jets though, by the time you get a lock it they’re either dropping their ECM and then out of range.

Played Renewal for the first time. Like it!
Shame the conquest rotation is random, I've played 10 hours so far and that was the first time I saw that map.

I’ve yet to play on the Doha map.
Lol, reminds me of a limpet
Not really a surprise I guess, we are talking about a game series where you could load explosives onto a jeep and then use the jeep as a long range missile
And the age old enemy of battlefield, hit reg. You hear about people unloading mags into someone then they turn around and get taken out in a couple of shots, actual proof of it.
I've actually had that happen, emptied a whole mag point blank into someone and somehow failed to kill them. Amazing after all these years how many games have troubles with hitreg. I'm sure it will be tweaked soon though

C4(or whatever it is) or the recoiless m5. I'm going to assume there are weak spots mind

Hah
I had a friend who seemed to glitch and then turn into an enemy, but still be in our squad, have no icon or anything (friend or foe) and was invincible

Well to be honest, a tank should be relatively hard to kill. It's a tank. Now the Hovercraft and the Dune buggy thing, those are laughable at the moment. They can survive four direct tank rounds. That crap has to be toned down.
And don't forget a tank can easily be killed with C4, people just need to learn how to fight them. Tanks in BF2042 are really poor at fighting infantry up close.

That looks more like lag than hitreg. I get 1gig up and down next Friday so cannot wait.
C5 isn’t unlocked until level 12 or something. AT mines are level 35 I think. You can’t laser designate vehicles until level 40 something I’m sure. Vehicles basically are getting free range until these unlocks given the poor damage given by the M4.
Oh believe me its hit reg, like most issues with battlefield this one dates back a long long time.

is it a bit of a mess ? dont know if i should pick this up or the new forza
Who on earth approves this? How can basic issues not be caught in testing...
The only approval from the ea overlords is the game getting sent out in time for the christmas sales, any issues with the game can attempt to be addressed with multi gigabyte patches. I'd love to know what type of internal testing these games have, it wouldn't appear to be much at all.
Ok, look at Cyberpunk. Over a year later and still has glaring issues from what I've read. Yes it has gotten better but it's still not launch quality. Even Battlefield V didn't exactly end up stellar from what I've heard from people after all this time. They've got the money from the people though.
Yet the disgrace and embarrassment from Cyberpunk hasn't seemed to have changed any ways. Lets keep making the same mistakes expecting a different outcome.

It's enjoyable, I've spent two evenings on it now.
I guess it depends on various factors tbh! I saw steam had it pretty cheap earlier

I don't understand how these maps got greenlighted for release?
All previous BF titles had some bad maps but there's not a single semi decent one in BF2042. I've never seen such lazy map design before, maybe they are troll maps and we'll get the proper ones next week?
