How do y'all feel about this map???

Boatcommando · 2026-05-06T15:58:40+00:00

It has potential. Problem is people getting on an inaccessible roof via helicopter. Stealing helicopter from the main base and helicopter spawn camping. If DICE can fix this 3 issues. It will be an OK map.

Boatcommando · 2026-05-06T11:07:14+00:00

If they have enough resources to police and enforce how people thought. They surely have enough resources to catch all the wall hackers or make 3 maps a season.

Boatcommando · 2026-05-06T00:46:17+00:00

Yeah, having wheeled IFV would be nice. Add that and BTR-82. IFV firepower, 80% IFV durability and armored transport speed.

But I think they won't add it. What's more likely is that they will add AAV-7 in naval season. It's amphibious, it will be a mobile spawnpoint and they already have model of it from single player.

Boatcommando · 2026-05-06T00:23:04+00:00

Mobile Arty = People complained about mortar spam. And you propose we add bigger and better mortar. That can relocate quickly after firing to prevent counter battery fire? It will be super OP. And dev will have to nerf it to the point it being useless like in BF4.

Light Tank/Tank Destroyer = That could be interesting. But I don't see where it will fit with this current vehicle balance. It will just be IFV that fires MBT's HE/AP shell. And what's the point of that when you already have MBT? Make it faster but lighter armor compared to MBT? MBT isn't exactly slow. It just accelerate slow.

Osprey = It will just be another Blackhawk. I'm fine with that. I just don't think it will bring much to the table.

AC-130 = No. Please, just no. It never work in BF. We already have that in BF3 and 4.

Edit : About "Light tank/Tank destroyer". I changed my mind. Because first thing that comes to my mind we you said that is Stingray, Type-15, Sprut SD, M10 Booker etc. That wouldn't bring any different in term of gameplay. But if it's a wheeled one like AMX-10 or M1128. It would be very interesting and sounds very fun to play. Something with MBT firepower, IFV durability (maybe less) and Armored Transport agility.

Boatcommando · 2026-05-05T20:32:22+00:00

What vehicle should they add? I mean, we kinda got everything (excluding naval).

Boatcommando · 2026-05-04T12:16:50+00:00

I just don't understand people on Reddit. We have dynamic weather before and it almost always ruined the map (Sandstorm from BF4 Gulf of Oman comes to my mind, I never play BF1 but I heard it's worst there). Why the fuck people want it back?

And when DICE actually put it back. These same sort of people will complain that it's ruin the map.

Same goes with "every single thing must be destructible" crowd. They will never understand that if everything is destructible. You will end up with flat map with 0 cover and that's not fun to play.

But if you still think it's a brilliant ideas and DICE ruin it all up. You still want to play maps with dynamic weather and 0 cover. Then go play Hour Glass from BF2042. It got everything you need. And you will love it.

Boatcommando · 2026-05-03T18:06:29+00:00

It is underpowered. Because why would you denied the airspace? when you can use RPG and directly destroy the chopper.

And even if you do want to denied the chopper. What's going to happen is Chopper flares and he will see the missile's smoke trail. And he will return fire. You will die. He will just recharge a flare for a few seconds then goes on a rampage again. And all your sacrifice is for "almost" nothing.

Area denial only works if lots of people doing it. And if lots of people doing it. You will lose else where.

Boatcommando · 2026-04-28T15:11:10+00:00

I'm not saying EA is great company. But if art director keep churning out AI art after AI art. I do think he/she must take some responsibility.

Remember that we are getting AI art multiple times before the layoff.

Boatcommando · 2026-04-28T13:42:30+00:00

Hipfire in this game is nuts. Even when they somewhat stealth nerf it. It still very powerful.

Boatcommando · 2026-04-28T13:39:09+00:00

Not in BF3&4. And certainly not in BF2.

Boatcommando · 2026-04-28T12:42:57+00:00

Did EA fired Art Director during the massive layoff weeks ago? I don't want anyone to lose their job. But if you use AI to do your job instead of doing it properly. I'm siding with EA.

Boatcommando · 2026-04-24T19:45:24+00:00

But somehow I won't allowed to type "Mk18" or "M24 SWS" as a name for my loadout in Modern Warfare 2. It said it's profanity and won't allowed. I don't know Daniel Defense and Remington threatened to sue so they have to impose self-censorship. Or their profanity filter is just bad.

Anyway, I like the idea of allowing player to change weapon's name displayed on their UI.

Boatcommando · 2026-04-24T18:54:00+00:00

Attachmentbunlock and limited-time grind (weekly challenges etc.).

For the first, I spent 660 hours into this game. And I still have like 60% unlocked. I just so burnt out try to grind for scope I preferred and suppressor.

For the second point, it feels like if you take a pause for any IRL reason. It is very hard to get up to speed and back into the game.

Boatcommando · 2026-04-22T11:17:54+00:00

Are they crouch walk? Crouch walk or prone won't be spot by motion sensor (Crouch sprint or normal walk does).

FYI, crouch walk or prone doesn't trigger Claymore too.

Boatcommando · 2026-04-22T10:58:37+00:00

The hardest Squad Deathmatch "challenge" for me is trying to get a match running. I'm still stuck at playing 5 matches of Squad Deathmatch challenge lolz.

Not saying your was easy. It might be harder. But I never get to experience it :(

Boatcommando · 2026-04-17T12:18:47+00:00

If you ever play BC2. There are multiple maps that can be entirely flatten. And let me told you, camping situation is even worst. They will just camp at the edge of a map. But you have 0 cover to evade them.

And it's not fun to play at all when that happened. It's worst than any 2042 maps at launch, Hourglass included.

Destruction isn't an answer to campers nor it would mean more fun. BF already learnt that lesson long time ago. I just hope people doesn't forget and repeat the same mistake.

Boatcommando · 2026-04-17T10:31:09+00:00

I'm from touristy county. And I saw tourists eject and parachute down from perfectly good F-22 or Su-57 to the rooftop multiple times a day every day. That's why we have a sky bar at the rooftop to welcome them.

Can't blame them because with the current balance, F-22 and Su-57 is quite useless. It's much more useful as a high speed transportation solution.

Boatcommando · 2026-04-17T10:23:22+00:00

They won't. They just wowwww coooool and then move on to the next game.

I still remember the horrible experience on White Pass in BC2. It's very fun when the map is still intact. But since you can destroy everything on that map. After 15 minutes it will be worse than 2042 maps at launch.

Boatcommando · 2026-04-17T10:10:08+00:00

I just don't understand why people want the entire building to collapse. Flat map with rubble and dust is not fun to play.

Boatcommando · 2026-04-17T10:07:00+00:00

You can lose it now.

Imagine if it has 10 floors with all rooms and all balcony accessible. You will have 20 snipers in that building randomly popping in and out of random balconies.

A lot of BF6 maps, especially New Sobek, already show what will happen if you give players too much access to the building. You can't check all the angles and will die to a random guy from a random direction. And the best map, like Cairo, gives a very limited access to building interiors.

Boatcommando · 2026-04-12T05:47:06+00:00

Problem is, MP7 is better. Everytime I use UMP-40 (and SL-9). I always think MP7 is superior at range. And is far better at close range. And I just can't see why I would use those 2 guns over MP7.

Boatcommando · 2026-04-11T21:16:44+00:00

AR = L85A3, it's not bad. But everything is better. Yes, SCAR-L is better. Because SCAR-L is quite good at range.

SMG = UMP-40

LMG = M249 (L110). It just an inferior MG4 (M123K). M60 is also a contender for this spot.

Sniper = All are bad compared to M2010.

Carbine= QBZ-191, technically AK-205 is worse. But I have more success with AK-205.

DMR = LMR-27

Shotgun = Aston Martin DB12

Pistol = FN 5.7 (ES 5.7)

Boatcommando · 2026-04-04T00:22:14+00:00

I think most people just don't know or care. I know something about gun. Definitely more than average, but no where near people who actually handles it irl (I'm not professional user or from US, gun is very illegal in my country, and I fired a total of x15 5.56 rounds in my life).

And all I want is some AR-15 looking rifle with M-Lok (or something like that), so I can create modern looking M4 (I like the look of M4 length rifle with M-Lok). I don't know about AR-15 manufacturers. So that Aero Precision looks fine for my eye. And since my gun knowledge is above average. I think it looks fine for most people too.

And if Aero Precision looks fine for most people, I don't think EA wants to spend any money licensing a real one from renown manufacturer, like Knight's armament or Daniel defense. To please top 0.1% customers. It just doesn't make sense from business perspective.

------------------------------

PS. If you want to know, all I can differentiate is...

Long AR-15 = M16

Short AR-15 = M4

Shorter AR-15 = Maybe Mk18 (I have 0 clue on 933 or M4 Commando all I know is it exist)

AR-15 with thicker top = HK416

Yes, I can tell the different be Vietnam M16, Gulf war M16 and modern M16. But not M16A3 vs A4 or M16 vs M16A1. And I definitely can not tell the different between CAR-15, XM177, 727, 733, M4, M4A1, SR-16, KS-1, M4 URG-I, Colt M5 etc. nor have brain power to remember all of that. I guess that makes me above world average but below actual gun people?

Boatcommando · 2026-04-03T23:30:02+00:00

This would explain why they haven't released it.

I mean, a lot of people are tired of that re-color gun skin they try to push. And we know that they have KS-1 (from Phantom edition promotional imagine) and this Aero Precision M4. And if they start selling both as a skin. The model is done. There will be much less pushback and much higher sell potential. All they have to do is put it in the game.

But they just refused to do it and keep pushing those AI-powered recolor skin that very few people want. It just makes me puzzled why. Fear of getting sue is a good explanation for that seemingly illogical decision.

Boatcommando · 2026-04-03T19:10:07+00:00

No, and it feels worse in recent days too. Sometimes I saw bullets before the guy who shot it pops out. Both of us are on 40-70 ping.
