another patch out tomorrow

the rooftop business makes sense but why would you ever go up there now?

Better question is what window licker thought that putting a cap point on a roof top in a game with the ability to parachute vehicles in anywhere was a good idea. Its mind numbing how much seemingly obvious issues go over the head of the "elite dice dev team". Nobody can convince me these people even play their own game, its impossible to be that clueless....I would have thought.

I read a post a while back claiming that map makers now play second fiddle to concept art, the artists come up with a design and the map makers have to try and make it work. Instead of the people making the map plan it out.

Alpha testing going well i see

With the v497.09 WHQL drivers I started getting a crash to desktop when loading Battlefield 2042, so I went back to the 472.47 drivers and Battlefield 2042 was completely smooth, one round lasted for over an hour and a half!

Roof capture points removed

Really? That's crap

 

[Gerard]

Really? That's crap

You ever tried capping one with tanks, aa vehicles and hordes of rockets and stingers camping the top of it? Basically impossible.

 

[ThatsWhatSheSaid]

Finally sat down to have my first play of this today.

WTAF have they done? This feels like some dodgy alpha of an arcade game... I got bored and quit :/

 

[adam cool dude]

Rush actually seems not too bad. I think one thing this game shows that more players in a server doesn't always give a better gaming experience.

Another 18GB patch today. Must be close to 50Gig of patches already!

Yeah I just get in a heli.

The answer is to deny spawning of vehicles on top of them, but tbh it's technically not impossible to do sooooooo

Just get in a helicopter with a roof swarming with aa and rocket launchers? Good luck lasting against that

AA only locks on to a certain distance

And beyond that distance helis are just spamming and hoping they get any hits.

Do what you like sir, I get in a heli and try and sort it.

Stop the spawning on the top of the buildings is what I'd prefer. What if actually prefer is more usable floors on the thing.

Get rid of the drop in system for Vehicles, that would fix a lot of the inbalance issues. Everytime i play im still playing Hoverfield 2042 , you destroy one and they call in 5 more lol.

 

[Locky]

The new patch seems to have fixed the CTD for me at least so far.

It was only 6GB on my PC.

 

[Ayahuasca]

The vast majority of game patches use compression now, you can see it on the likes of steam in terms of download size compared to required drive space.

 

[rumple9]

It's already gone on sale, 2 weeks after release 25%-35% off dependant upon platform

I don't see many hovers now, it's amusing the variety there is on different servers sometimes
