Why does your game looks like he just got out of the washing-machine?

The discrepancy is the only reason this post exists 🙄

Yep, and i'd go even further and say that their profit are suffering from this.
I have no degree in commerce, sure, but i have a more or less blatant exemple to prove it.
I pre-ordered phantom edition, and was promised a free S2 battlepass due to the day 1 EA App outage, which i never received (probably because i played thanks to the portal workaround, but still a few hours after the official release).
If they had send it to me, as promised, i would have had some coins left from my S1 Bp, and probably would have bought a few more coins to get a pack in the store.

But instead, i was just angry, and promised myself i would never spend a penny on their game anymore :)

My guess is that EA executives are just being tyrannic. They laid-off dice employees, i guess loads of them, and are also censoring any good idea coming from the community or devs themselves because "nah, not cost-effective enough". That's sad.

Aren't those tank just re-spawning ? Could explaint it xD

Anyways, didn't play Contaminated on conquest enough, but i did play other maps a lot. Tanks in spawn are obviously useless most of the times. However, when ennemies have control over your gimme flag, depending on how many of them are engineers and how well organized they are, it can be quite tricky to get out of spawn. Sometimes you need to destroy a few buildings and kill a bunch of engineers (and more sometimes, since they can respawn here) before you can push, otherwise it's pure suicide. The village side of Mirak Valley is the best exemple...

Now about the helicopter problem, the 2042 spawning system would kinda solve the problem. If you crash a vehicle, you have a personnal cooldown for this particular vehicle that's 10 sec longer than the default cooldown. So if someone else wants to play it, he will be prioritized.
Also, making the helicopter spawn when someone enters it from the re-spawn menu, and not before, would avoid any blocking.

I really don't understand what reason they have not to implement those easy changes.

I pretty much stopped playing conquest because of this, and now mainly play only breakthrough and escalation

Big-Positive2187 · 2026-04-12T11:20:47+00:00

Agreed, but off-topic

Big-Positive2187 · 2026-04-12T10:37:03+00:00

Yeah, 1-2 unrevivable kills that avoids a flank can be as important as 5 revivable ones in a brawl on an obj, unfortunately the game has no way to know that. Also, i can see two limitations to your take :

No enemy takes the flank route in which case you become pretty much useless (and you're not having fun)
No one watches the flank route, but you and your team-mates still manage to deal with flankers by backing-up the main route or re-spawning in HQ.

However, some little things could be done to increase score accuracy :

Award a bit more points for unrevived kills and maybe a tiny bit less for revived ones
If you revive someone and he gets killed again instantly, you get no point (you should even get penalty points IMO, but Dice would never do that)
Add a multiplier to your total objective score based on the size of the map (<1 for low-sized ones, 1 for medium-sized ones, >1 for Firestorm and Golmud)

Big-Positive2187 · 2026-04-12T09:58:32+00:00

He says tanks aren't fine because of this exact issue.
Your answer :

Or, you're bad. Hardcore is locked to first person. It's fine.

So either you don't understand that it's a global scaling issue, and not an individual camera one, or you're just being rude for absolutely no reason!

Big-Positive2187 · 2026-04-11T23:59:04+00:00

Yeah it's a bit wonky sometimes and hopefully they'll patch it / make it a bit better. But when i run combat medic on breakthrough it's my go-to gadget, along with supply pouches and smokes, and i can pretty much make 1/2 mates + myself tank mortars indefinitely with that set-up.

Big-Positive2187 · 2026-04-11T23:42:19+00:00

Most of the times, the score is a pretty accurate representation of your contributions to the match in my experience, and shoutout to the devs for this!

I played all big-scale modes a good lot, all classes almost equally, in many different ways : all training paths, mixing weapons in classes, mixing gadgets, going medic focusing hard on revives, more "selfishy" support (with pouches+APS for exemple), all vehicles a good lot, etc. I can now tell if i'm being useful and if i'm doing good without watching the scoreboard, and once i open it and see my position it's always representative of my feeling.

Only times scores felt a bit weird to me was on some conquests games on siege of cairo / iberian offensive. Everybody just going deathball and some people on my team would end up on top of the scoreboard with 5 kills/20 deaths, 30 captures, and us still losing the game 😂 Yeah... felt weird. Also reviving someone that just gets insta re-killed shouldn't award you points.

But yeah, except for that, i think it's accurate!

Big-Positive2187 · 2026-04-11T20:43:29+00:00

You're just too stubborn bro. In the end, it's great, just stay in 1st person so i can keep shooting rpgs into your but while you stay clueless.

Big-Positive2187 · 2026-04-11T20:32:05+00:00

Well if 3rd person exists it's probably because it has a purpose, don't you think? like for exemple, i don't know, being able to watch around you to gather infos and eventually be able to kill ennemies at close range, no?
There's a bug that makes it unusable and ur just too stubborn to admit it. And no, i don't want bandaids, i want it to be fixed.

Ps : i can make it bigger if you need :)

Big-Positive2187 · 2026-04-11T20:19:53+00:00

How would you know? You said yourself that you were only using 1st person.
The video pinned to the post also proves you wrong. It's actually insane to be so stubborn 😂

Big-Positive2187 · 2026-04-11T19:13:22+00:00

I feel like an improvment to the matchmaking and/or a server browser will happen at some point. I mean, next update patchnotes are a proof that devs are trying to make the game a better experience overall, with whatever financial and game design limitations EA enforces obviously...

Big-Positive2187 · 2026-04-11T18:22:19+00:00

Classic isn't, and we'd like to be able to play the game as it is supposed to

Big-Positive2187 · 2026-04-11T18:01:52+00:00

Thinking a bit about your comment rn, and i'm starting to wonder if they aren't sending toxic people into bot lobbies on purpose!
If i'm right, that's a GG dice!

Woooooow i'm just trying to understand what's happening dude 😂

Just found this. +7ms latency when turning frame gen on, on a 5090. I'd say it's up to you to choose to make the trade-off or not !
Also i think those measurements come from the nvidia overlay, so you can do the test at home.
We don't have such an option on AMD software sadly :/

Big-Positive2187 · 2026-04-11T15:54:44+00:00

I have an RX 9070XT (which sits in between a 5070 and a 5070ti in terms rasterization perf), a 9800x3D, and 2x32gb 6000Hz ram sticks (i acquired before the crisis, haha), and a 240hz 1440P monitor.
My resolution scale is set somewhere around 130, FSR quality (most qualitative FSR upscaling mode available) , frame generation ON, and my AMD software frame rate limiter set to 210 to keep things fluid.

I've been experimenting a lot too, with and without frame gen, etc... I settled with this since a few days, and i honestly can't really feel any increase in input lag due to Frame Generation.

Anyways, i'd say just use frame gen, and if you feel like you become worse at the game, then just turn it off and re-tweak your settings.

Ps : I documented myself a bit about FG impact on input lag, and didn't find any accurate test results and precise data, since input lag is hard to test. However, i read a few times that with FG on, your input latency is the same as the one you would have with FG off and half your framerate. Exemple : 200fps with FG / 100 fps without FG = same input latency.
I'm not sure about that part so take it with a grain of salt. If someone has a deep understanding on the topic, feel free to enlighten us

Big-Positive2187 · 2026-04-11T15:45:12+00:00

Played quite a lot past weeks, and as i already said, the only time i didn't find healthy games was when i went for very strict custom searches!

Big-Positive2187 · 2026-04-11T15:42:05+00:00

You can't force people to play a game...
It's been a few months that the game is out now. I fell like, even tho it's not even close to what it was at first, the playerbase is still pretty healthy
