I'll have to give it a try on 42 and see how it feels.
On the other items...
The banner across the top of the screen is very annoying - cant see option to turn that off. Ruins immersion. -
I havent really noticed the banner, I will have to have a closer look and see what you mean
Seen people jumping and instantly sliding then jumping (set to macro) etc -
I havent seen that yet, doesnt mean its not happening, just means that I havent noticed it
grappling hook is too unrealistic. -
I guess maybe thats how grappling hooks work in the future
proximity sensors and gimmicks as a whole. -
I like these items, I think they open up more options for playstyle rather than just run and gun. Having said that, some of the items arent much use, like the healing pistol for example. When I rez someone they generally just sprint off before I even have a chance to heal them so its a pretty pointless item. Might be of much more use in a proper squad though rather than a randoms squad
Jets are too maneuverable and aircraft seem bullet proof. -
I dont really do any air stuff as I am useless in them, I've not tried to shoot down a jet yet as I figure it will be too hard a target to get but I have shot down a lot of heli's and those VTOL things
Crossplay makes the gunplay awful. -
I have crossplay disabled so cant comment on this
Hopefully some infantry only and hardcore options with lower TTK are implemented into the full game. -
I'm 100% certain there will be some infantry only maps and various other options/modes available in the full release
Turrets or gunner in vehicles is a juddery mess. -
I agree with this, whilst driving the vehicles seems ok, when I was in a turret it was very jerky/juddery to the point where it was nigh on impossible to hit anything from the turret. Hopefully thats just a beta build issue and wont be present in the release
Teams and even squad members driving off in vehicles. Absolutely no team work at all or squad play in any of the games I played over 3hrs last night. -
This doesnt surprise me in the slightest, I dont think I have ever seen any proper teamwork in any beta of a BF game because most people are just using the beta as a mess around, I expect things to improve in this regard once release comes and people start to play a bit more properly
Tornado........just ridiculous and not needed. -
I havent had a tornado spawn yet so cant comment
Will play until my 1 month sub runs out - if I'm still playing by bonfire night I'll buy it. MAtes who I've gamed with since BF2 not overly impressed. -
Funny you should mention this, when I look at the hell hole of idiots that reside on the Steam forum theres a mass of people saying stuff like "only a new player would like BF2042" and "real BF veterans will hate it" etc, which is ironic because I was in the very first BF beta ever in BF1942 and have played every BF since and I like BF2042 so far
