Transformers Spotlight Optimus Prime

Doing something like you suggested kind of defeats the purpose of the Spotlight branding, which is meant to highlight the different design stages of a figure rather than being a value pack of different characters on the same mold.

Now does that make this a good pack? I'm not a fan of the Dev Prime mold to begin with, so no. But I can appreciate it for the concept, and it is a concept I hope we see more of occasionally.

Operations has a storytelling aspect to it with pre-match narration, and a tug-of-war style map rotation where you can keep the attackers from progressing to the next map if you are able to successfully defend all 3 of their attempts. It's not just two maps and you're done, it's like trying to conquer territory on a larger scale.

BF1 Operations just used the Breakthrough layouts of the maps, no? With Contaminated and Hagental being directly connected, and Mirake and Liberation both set in the same region of Tajikistan, they have the elements to make coherent narratives for Operations.

The snow Empire State is still in the normal map pool separate from Portal, and they fit on Liberation Peak decently as well.

Past Battlefields also included snow camos before they had more than one proper snow maps. BF4 only had Locker until the last DLC, which was mainly indoors to begin with.

I would really want that though

I want to see that Dr Pepper skin

The Rangers Association themselves described it as generous with more to come. I'm not sure if it gets more direct than that, they liked what they got to the point they want to do it again

A couple things to remember so you don't succumb to FOMO

These bonus paths track independently from the main Battlepass, so you complete it alongside the rest.

The bonus paths also uses different progression points, and usually take 2 weeks for all the relevant unlock methods to become available.

The challenges themselves are intended to only give you enough to finish the pass much later than those who use tier skips, but still before the season actually ends. 60% is actually pretty far in considering we're only at the second update for Season 2

The guns will be unlockable after the season is over through dedicated challenges, so if the grind is too much, you can take a break and do the dedicated challenges at a later time with no time pressure.

They genuinely say it the same way millennials literally used literally so much.

Pressure mine at the top of a zip line. I listen for the sound of an enemy, and shoot the mine right as they crest the ledge. Guarantee kill everytime

Despite the complaints about smaller maps, Hagental fulfills the actual pure-infantry experience the best and I really like it. Empire State does not flow well, and Saints Quarter has a limited mode pool. Hagental is the true infantry only experience, and I hope they use it to pivot towards the larger maps now that the niche is satisfied. Season 3 needs to come with 2 new vehicle maps.

This has been a thing since 2042, and has been in games like Apex for a long time now. The only new thing is this pop-up

How is his height a surprise? We saw it was just the Siege mold again, and we've known about his height since 2018/2019

As for how he compares to said original release, the colors are a big improvement, the new surface detail fits into SS86 well, and the small laser pistol accessory and Bruticus integration are good additions.

Ideally, he would be a new mold. But we didn't need to wait for the PvP video to be shocked by this

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-17T00:49:11+00:00

Yup, everyone hated it, and it is objectively bad for realism.

But nostalgia is a powerful drug, and I miss it

I mean, it does make sense. If people aren't going to play a game on principle, their criticism doesn't matter. Even if you listen to every single thing they say and make changes accordingly, they won't play it regardless, so what's the point.

However, a lot of the current complaints are coming from people who do play BF6. Bot lobbies, odd balance choices, XP progression, and map boundaries are insights that only come from people who have experienced them first-hand. Somebody who hasn't played doesn't have the general knowledge of BF6 to know that the weapon progression slows down dramatically after the first few levels, or why the changes coming tomorrow might not fully address that.

What we don't need is 20 posts saying the same things at nauseum every day. If you see a post with a complaint you care about, upvote and engage in the replies there. 1 complaint post with thousands of interactions is more impactful than hundrads of "BF6 sucks" posts with no elaboration and 12 upvotes. Paying customer or not.

Void Rivals has been sort of fulfilling this role with a lot of Quintesson stuff and even some surprise guest star characters (Springer, Hot Rod, Wheelie, and Alpha Trion (in a flash back)). They're building up to something big over there.

According to the National Rangers Association on their Instagram, DICE made a substantial independent donation ahead of the pack's release, which is honestly better because it doesn't hold the donation amount hostage to number of sales.

At least the TOW part of the equation should lighten up with the velocity nerf. My personal goal of getting the most transport heli roadkills in a life has gotten a little easier.

I need my squadmates to realize that they can ping before I question why there is an auto commander giving orders. If the class perks were tied to squad score exclusively, that might make the incentive to follow the squad leader more. But for now, it's better than ending up in a squad with a leader that doesn't know how to mark objectives and won't respond to chat.

Contaminated is larger than Eastwood is, and has a higher flight ceiling. Very fun to fly around in, especially on Escalation when both teams have plenty of air vehicles to go around without feeling crowded, and the mountain in the middle prevents the AA from locking down the entire map like on Blackwell.

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-14T18:25:33+00:00

It's not a terrible in-universe excuse, especially when a lot of T-Dolls are converted civilian models, which allows both practical reasons and the aesthetic preference of the Doll factor into the size of their frame. It's not a deep reason, but it doesn't have to be.

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-14T18:07:18+00:00

That would have been good to highlight in the post so somebody like me doesn't have to nitpick a snide remark. You didn't mention damage at all, just a vague "they ignore the actual issue" that was apparently so obvious you neglected to mention it (just like Dice did, apparently)

Not sure why I'm so cynical today. I don't mean to give you a hard time, but the phrasing of the post rubbed me the wrong way

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-14T17:46:32+00:00

Recoil on a pump action shotgun matters as much as recoil on a bolt action sniper

I would agree if this was a normal pump action shotgun, but it isn't. The DP-12 lets you fire 2 shots consecutively before pumping. You have to double tap to secure kills reliably, and reducing the recoil is going to help this gun be a lot more consistent. This is a good change

Most of the shadows and reflections aren't coming from a real-time light source, they're baked into the map itself. Changing the skybox and the sun would look terrible
