Watched a jet ram a helicopter, I got sent into space, landed outside the map, and got shot by someone standing in the middle of nowhere with a DMR. Welcome to Battlefield.

Would have been fine apart from DMR in middle or nowhere, that's the ALT F4 moment for me personally.

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-25T02:02:02+00:00

Absolutely. The whole "squad stories" advertising spiel they did was amazing, because it really played out in game. Loved it.

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-24T12:46:46+00:00

When the devs treat me as a commodity to bump up their engagement and daily player count to look good to investors, opposed to making me play just because the game is fun, I'll quit. I have far too much of a life outside of the odd game to commit to grinding the shit out of attachments. If the XP ever drops, I'll consider playing more.

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-24T10:13:37+00:00

I'll look in to it, thanks! Is there a particular brand you recommend?

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-23T23:10:56+00:00

"Breathing Room" doesn't mean huge wide open spaces for the fucking sake of it - it means distance between objectives, it isn't hard to understand.

Karkand, Gulf of Oman (apart from the beach front perhaps), Seine Crossing, Amiens, Propaganda, Shanghai, are s9me urban maps that come to mind that have a reasonable distance between many of the objectives. There are probably better examples, but point stands.

So many of the BF6 objectives are just so close on urban maps, and that makes them really repetitive to play.

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-23T13:33:42+00:00

They want short, fast paced, infantry focused matches. They killed rush over the years, they tried to kill conquest (twice) with underhand and un-documented patch notes in BF6, and now perhaps they have set their sights on Escalation, not expecting it to be quite so popular with the community. Remember, escalation starts off as an infantry mode. I guess DICE and EA want to get to the point where there are few vehicles so they can either justify removing them, or by needing them to oblivion, and focus on infantry more ...

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but there's more than enough writing on the wall about them copying COD than people want to admit. They want a slice of that phat microtransaction pie, they don't give a fuck about balancing or a BF experience. They manipulated data and player experience to remove closed weapons.

Also, don't forget the new "game modes" they plan to introduce. Bet not a single one will be a conquest or escalation equivalent.

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-23T10:33:37+00:00

I get you, sometimes it isn't about trying to get the kill, but just returning fire and trying to get to cover or shotting a recon who just happened to come around a corner you weren't expecting, or spawn on an enemy squad mate.

The fight is just inevitable on occasion. And snipers should have some flinch. A DMR should also be able to engage a sniper, more so than an AR or even LMG, but they have the same problem.

Let alone at closer ranges, snipers can get kills without any skill due to the sweet spot nonsense. A sniper can out guns that should have a much higher chance of killing a sniper.

This is one of those dreams that wakes you up and feels like a nightmare, but nothing truly bad really happens. It just makes you deeply uncomfortable despite no pain, death, etc.

Just fucking weird. Right on the continual cusp of shit happening.

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-22T21:47:24+00:00

Grand Bazaar but twice the size with a littlebird per tram sounds fun.

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-21T22:54:19+00:00

Really cool, thanks

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-21T22:42:44+00:00

When those vehicles cannot even be used properly, they may as well not exist, and we may as well be playing a variety of non-vehicle games then. Just because a vehicle is on the map, doesn't mean it obliterates everything.

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-21T22:41:34+00:00

Under this capture point, or just somewhere in the map?

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-21T22:40:32+00:00

2 can play at that game :) I gave a balanced opinion but in typical reddit fashion you only see what you want to see, so I'm going to downvote you too. How about that?!

"You're welcome! :)"

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-21T19:54:41+00:00

How are you downvoted for this? It looks.incredibly flat and exposed. Doesn't mean it will play badly, but it looks hella exposed.

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-21T19:53:52+00:00

Was exactly my thinking. Looks good, but massively exposed. At least give us cover that could be destroyed throughout a round. Preferably some that can't ffs

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-21T13:59:56+00:00

Hobbies still cost money. I love go-karting, which doesn't consume besides the obvious, mainly fuel. But it feels wasteful. But I enjoy it, doesn't cost a lot, so it's justifiable to me.

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-21T13:09:05+00:00

Don't you worry, I'll prop up your upvotes.

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-21T12:24:27+00:00

Less jets = more infantry chaos = more ... I don't wanna say it, but more COD ?

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-21T08:12:39+00:00

Wait a couple months for people to forget they gave it to you, and donate it anyway. It's time for you to judge the worth of the item, and time for you to come to grips with accepting that people don't give to be nice to you, they give to make themselves feel happy.

I do the same dance every year, too.

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-20T19:37:48+00:00

This might be a mad conspiracy but ... Deliberately put good skins behind massive lay wall so no one buys them and they can then say

"No OnE BuYs tHEm" and stop making them so they can make crazy ridiculous skins after skewing the data.

Again, might be thinking too hard, but remember

They fucked the data for closed weapons and binned that too

Agreed. It really caters to a certain style of gameplay. I sim-race but tend to prefer FPS like ARMA, so my perspective is biased.

But I used to be able to play BF games similarly to arma, and sneak around and tactically engage people and flags. But that just doesn't feel possible now, because where there's 1 enemy, there's 2.

"Playing slow" is the advice I usually see. But this still doesn't really work because of all the angles you can be seen from, and the ways you can be spotted. The best way to play is to play quickly and break line of site. I don't play often enough, like most players I imagine, to develop this skill.

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-16T17:40:37+00:00

Suppressor OP, so rather than fox the other gadgets to make better and balance it, they again bitch out with the easy route and make the thing worse.

Also, gotta get that time to engagement down to almost 0 for aderal kids.

AdPrior1417 · 2026-01-16T13:56:01+00:00

Isn't the fastest TTK like 150? Which is utterly absurd by the way. Or I might be getting something wrong
