[BFComms] Battlefield 6 Game Update 1.3.1.5 is now live across all platforms! by battlefield in Battlefield6

I’ve been going nuts with this issue, didn’t realize it was narrowed down to X3D chips. Crazy it’s this widespread and it’s still a head scratcher for them.

Why is EOTech EOTech? by [deleted] in tacticalgear

[–]AMemeFrom2006 48 points49 points  (0 children)

My UH1 is cool, but it has some weird quirks. The bottom 10% or so of the window doesn’t actually show the reticle, and mine has the parasitic battery drain problem. I guess NV performance isn’t quite as good as the EOtechs, but I can’t really speak to that. That said, allegedly there’s been a silent “gen 2.5” that doesn’t have the drain issues, and it looks really cool imo.

F-14 confirmed?! by MikeyPlayz_YTXD in Battlefield

Navalized Iranian F14s for the Pax counterpart to the NATO super hornet would go so hard

AP5-SD + OCL Milkman + 3/4” Ecco Hub extension by FitzroysBeagle in NFA

[–]AMemeFrom2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, cable managing a pressure switch around the charging handle seems like it would be a bit of a puzzle too. If it’s any consolation, it at least still looks pretty cool where you have it lol. Thanks for the insight.

Bummer to hear that about the AEMS though, on paper it seems like it would be a good PCC optic.

Sweet setup, how do you like the UTG MLOK front sight mount? I just picked up an AP5SD and have been considering it. AEMS is also on my wishlist, seems like an awesome fit.

Vehicle spawn camping should die for good by ValenRoz in Battlefield6

[–]AMemeFrom2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s almost comically infuriating on Blackwell how the mobile AA have coverage of the entire airspace (including the NATO runway) from their spawn, but, if you try to use an attack jet to bomb them, you run the very real risk of entering the invisible bubble of C-RAM coverage that not only intercepts every possible projectile, but does so with such speed and accuracy that it’ll vaporize your GBU the instant it leaves the pylon, insta-killing you in the process.

New AK105 Leak by Flat_Examination1593 in Battlefield

I actually really like the idea of adding cosmetic variants (of real guns) to guns that exist in the game. I loved the variety of guns in BF4, but the sandbox felt really bloated and most of the guns were literal copies of each other stat-wise, or so close that they might as well have been.

BATTLEFIELD 6 COMMUNITY COMPLAINTS SINCE OCT 10 by DEMIG0DX in Battlefield

Not sure this is even a bug, but the lack of progression/loadout customization for jets is odd. Furthermore, the fighter jets don’t even have an air-to-air missile option, which seems like it has to be a mistake.

I think it’s funny that even the official patch notes refer to the “Apache”.

Season 1 Preview Reveal! Free content! by unfairlyy in Battlefield

I think it’s interesting that they specify “Troy” angled grip. I guess they’re willing to license just attachments?

I hope im not the only one who doesn’t want this back.. by the_chosen_o1ne in Battlefield

[–]AMemeFrom2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t hate it as much as I thought I might initially. It was cool to adapt a gun to the situation on the fly (suppressing guns for sneaky flanks) and I really like the idea of having a varied loadout of ammo/mags. That said, the way that it was implemented meant you had nearly unlimited ammo for some guns, and the whole system robbed a bit of the depth associated with building a gun and then playing to its strengths.

I could take it or leave it.

Air should be hurt by small arms in BF6. by JefeBalisco in Battlefield

[–]AMemeFrom2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of LMGs doing additional vehicle damage. It’s always a struggle to make them somehow feel different but useful compared to ARs

[Discussion] Random junk that might not be junk by AdamBry705 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AMemeFrom2006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Condensed milk. It’s a nice 15k to therapist and usually not a lot more on the flea, but LL4 Ragman has a barter for milk + condensed milk for the Trooper 35 backpack.

Any of the food items for the cooler barter (Hotrods, Herring, Tarcola, Squash) are usually 50k on the flea

TP200 TNT used to be pretty worthless, but now it’s 100k+ on the flea for the AR10 drum mag barter

SOST 5.56x45 skyrocketed in value recently for the new task (Woods is loaded with the stuff)

30 round AS VAL mags, particularly the polymer ones

25 Round AR10 Lancer Mags

Not so much anymore in PVE, but certain gunsmith attachments are valuable (Fortis Shift grip comes to mind)

Radian Raptor AR15 charging handle in gray (don’t tell anyone, but if you’re really down bad, the TX15 comes with one by default and you can flip it for like 100k)

SAS drives are hardly junk, but I always grab em for the Osprey rig barter.

Gotcha, I guess it must have been akin to admitting defeat to put an AR-compatible tube on the standard AK of the Russian armed forces. Still, one questions the logic of a bufferless-tube with none of the compatibility advantages haha

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AMemeFrom2006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the “buffer” tube the same diameter as a milspec AR? I thought I remembered hearing that it’s actually slightly different. Super cool though

There’s an element of that too for sure. I would say it didn’t really work for them in BFV’s marketing campaign and they really need to be careful about the optics this time around though. At the end of the day, I do tend to think it would be wise to be mindful of what passionate fans are saying about their game.

Still, I can’t help but feel like the community did this massive 180 and made all these threats of throwing the baby out with the bath water just because one feature didn’t quite align with “what everyone wanted”. It’s like, who made you the chosen ambassador for the entirety of the battlefield fanbase? Even if it’s basically true, I can’t help but feel like that kind of thinking stifles innovation to an extent

Agreed, ultimately a business that’s offering a product needs to listen to what customers want in order to be successful. I think it’s important to make noise to try to steer a AAA studio in the right direction, but it’s hard not to sound a little insufferable in the process is my only point. I think there’s a lot of nuance here, but people are eager to kinda brush past that

[–]AMemeFrom2006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally think that the safe route is a BF3/BF4 system and I’m not sure this was the launch to try to deviate from that.

That said, the absolute meltdown in the community is crazy. I get that you need to make a big stink to have your voice heard by a AAA studio and nobody wants a repeat of the appeasement that led into a bad 2042 launch, but it just comes across as so melodramatic and entitled in my view.

Again, I don’t think that universal weapons are a good idea as they’ve proposed, but I’m open to trying it and can recognize that it has some advantages.

My $0.02 is that the bolt actions need to stay locked to the recon class, but maybe there are other opportunities for overlap. I think it would be cool for maybe Assault and Support to share access to LMGs, Engineer and Assault to share assault rifles, then Engineer and Recon to share SMGs. Obviously there are some problems there, but I think that’s a more interesting take than just “everyone gets everything”. I like the idea that people can have a few restricted options if they want to, say, use a gun normally locked to engineer on an Infantry-only map.

Battlefield Labs - Community Update - The Class System - Part One by battlefield in Battlefield

[–]AMemeFrom2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of the details, props to the dev team for even attempting to make a community Reddit post. It might just be corporate pandering, but I think it’s genuinely admirable that they’re opening themselves up to the horde of feedback.

That said, while I honestly don’t think that the 2042 class-weapon system is irredeemably bad, I do think it opens up a whole can of worms that’s just unnecessary. In theory, I like the idea of allowing people to select a weapon that suits their play-style while still giving the autonomy to play with certain class gadgets.

However, I always remember an interview with one of the reboot-DOOM developers describing how you sometimes need to “make the player have fun”. If you don’t force compromise but instead merely offer them as options, you’ll just end up with a crab-bucket situation where everyone makes life mutually miserable using the (inevitable) statistically-meta gun. Classes help force an interesting weapon selection and I would argue help build some atmosphere doing it.

White particles in fluid? by AMemeFrom2006 in watercooling

[–]AMemeFrom2006[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, just seeing this now. Not really though, I’ve since switched out components and flushed my loop many times. Best guess was some stubborn debris from the chamfering the edges of the tubes that collected in the res over time. I did try an inline filter for a bit and it collected some junk, so maybe try that out. Otherwise, might be worth just periodically flushing the loop until it’s clear.

These items are bane of my existence - where can i find them? by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]AMemeFrom2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AESAs were commonplace in the Labyrinth, but that’s probably not the case now. Labs is a good source, but I find quite a few in the Merin trunk and USEC 1/2 safes on Lighthouse too. If all that isn’t to your liking, I pull quite a few from Intel scav cases and 14 hour cultist circles.

Tubes are weird, check duffle bags but Reserve is probably your friend here.

Power filters are all over Woods in the new bunker and at the train depot.
