You don't need the premium season pass, it just gives you access to cosmetic items. It's a nice addition as some of the rewards are fun.
I fly the little bird a decent amount and the apache too (have them both T1'd) and can say that I really enjoy the heli flying is really satisfying in this game. Only annoying thing is that everything and everyone has a lock-on to take you out.
Probably worth looking at the good YouTube pilots (Silk etc.) to get their thoughts on it vs. BF4. I find flying heli's easier than in BF4 but that might be because I played BF4 on console and am on PC now.
If you can hang on, it's having a free week in December (1st to the 5th) so you can give it a go before committing to buying it!Avoiding missiles is best part of flying
Thanks for heads up, might buy it and try.
And 100% agree, dodging missiles is the most fun part. You'll love the map 'Kaleidoscope' as you basically can use buildings to confuse the stinger missiles.

I have to agree the Night Bird is great to fly, never really spent too much time flying anything else.
#Battlefield2042 Update 3.0 features CPU optimizations, mainly at higher end systems. Overall, the game feels more stable. You should see a performance boost (FPS)

Threw a few hours in to it today, took some getting used to from BF4 but it's definitely in a good place.
Will likely stick around as my go to FPS for a little while.

I see people reporting CPU utilization increased while FPS decreased. How did Dice manage that? Quite the accomplishment if its true
So my averages are definitely up on the 128p modes (playing at 1440p, 3070 and 5800x) but no difference at all on 64p.I see people reporting CPU utilization increased while FPS decreased. How did Dice manage that? Quite the accomplishment if its true
Also they nerfed the SFAR and now I'm a mess at what assault rifle to use.
The railgun isn't nearly as OP as initially thought. The charge up means it's pretty tough to use unless you're very good. Burst is a bit rubbish on it and the full auto is good - but you basically run out of ammo after killing 2 people.
I'm really enjoying it, plays nicely on Breakthrough and on Conquest. Good mix of infantry focused areas around the two complexes and the vehicle fighting is good too.
Also it just looks and feels like a proper Battlefield map. Full of natural cover, good flow between the different points.
If anything, it yet again highlights how rubbish the launch maps were. Right now, with this map, Exposure, the reworked Orbital etc. we've got some really good maps in the game.
It's good to see they've adjusted the vehicle categories and vehicle numbers too - so it differs per map but now the categories for the vehicles actually make sense.
Sounds promising. Will give it a try tonight
The new map is pretty awesome with a few caveats. There is a bit of scenery pop that seems to allow people to shoot through cover. So you will be crouched, well below cover and pow, you get beamed from over 200m away by snipers. Sure they will fix it.
An increase in cheaters since the new season went live...
One guy was a rank 7, new account, and did 60/3 within 10mins of joining using an assault rifle as a medic
Does the game have a fabled "report system" like bf5 that never actually done anything in terms of getting anyone banned?
