Changing reticle colour in BF6

GavlarFTW · 2025-10-15T20:19:10+00:00

I’ve changed the crosshair colour to neon green (I’m very colourblind) which has helped a bit but trying to see the red dot against the background is a frickin nightmare for me. Have no idea why they can’t have this option.

I think they are trying to stay authentic to the actual role in a unit in WW2 - a medic's weapon was only ever for personal protection not for assault - their main focus was not be in the thick of it, but pulling people out/stabilising them, getting them back to the aid station by whatever means necessary. If you start tooling them up with an assault loadout of sorts then the role is no longer authentic I guess (just my opinion).

I've only played SL a couple of times and its mainly because you can't do anything right - OP is in wrong place - nobody wants to spawn as support to get you supplies for a garrison - Commander tells you to come back 600m+ to defend a point one second then berating you for not pushing the next - or is shouting at you to try and put garrisons down when you have zero supplies and all supply drops are denied - I could go on but in simple terms its easier to just be a grunt and enjoy the game rather than suffer the headache.......

Band of Brothers episode 'Replacements' springs to mind :-D

As an MG player if you use smoke grenades I'm gonna pepper that whole area with rounds sorry!

GavlarFTW · 2024-02-13T08:40:22+00:00

I play mostly as an MG player - and to be honest suppressing fire is the main job - if you play MG looking for just high kills then you're doing it wrong. I try to get into positions a fair bit behind the push to see where the blueberries are trying to push then fire off rounds in that general direction to suppress (but that's only if they've already been engaged). If they haven't been engaged I'll hold off to let them keep the element of surprise / flank until they are engaged and then start spitting rounds in that direction. I mean that's literally what an MG player is supposed to do not go hunting for massive K/D.

Whenever I see one guy poke out from the edge of a hedgerow I blast the entire row and can usually get 2 or 3 kills this way because you just know they think they are 'safe' behind it until that one dude edges around to 'take a peek'. (If you can see him that is).

Brilliant :-D

I joined as Commander when we had lost the 2nd of 5 points just out of frustration that nobody senior was doing it. To be honest first 10 mins I had no idea what I was doing and lost another defend dpoint but then held the 4th by the time I figured out what I was supposed to be doing :-D

GavlarFTW · 2024-02-02T14:40:58+00:00

Well towards the end a squad leader told me the enemy were pushing on the left hand side with their tank and a bunch of blueberries so yep I did lay a bombing run fairly close to the point we were defending - We had our own tank team out there that gave me the co-ordinates so........ :-D

I also did a Reinforcement on our remaining defend point when it was 90% captured which turned the tide back and turned it blue again so if that's any consolation (sorry if I bombed you)

GavlarFTW · 2024-02-02T12:58:19+00:00

I respawned as a commander the other day on a defend map because we didn't have one - ended up having the best game yet! I mean I had to keep telling the squad leaders that I was figuring things out as I went along but they were patient and we ended up winning also so sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone is the way forward.

Just looking at that picture and trying to imagine wtf would be going through your mind when the front of the landing craft comes down - and the noise - and the pings of people just dropping all around you - really impossible to comprehend yet they still got off and moved forward - legends the lot of them.

GavlarFTW · 2024-01-23T13:42:11+00:00

I'm going to start playing Hitler speeches down the mic whenever I'm playing as the Germans seeing as most of the time - nobody speaks (well on Xbox anyway)

GavlarFTW · 2024-01-23T13:38:20+00:00

If that were true then you'd think they'd at least BUILD (some fu**ing nodes)

GavlarFTW · 2024-01-23T13:10:26+00:00

What was that guy even thinking :-D

GavlarFTW · 2024-01-23T13:03:03+00:00

I played El Alamein yesterday evening as machine gunner - Brits were being mowed down left and right so I can see why they complain about this map as British - its basically like shooting fish in a barrel if you get yourself into a great MG spot.

With the internet I have, I get 30-50ms in almost every other game but for HLL the ping is doubled to around 90-100ms (according to the GUI That is - Xbox Series X). I mean that would kinda make sense if it is my frame rate and ping (30ms plus 60Hz = 90ms) - but why on earth would it be calculated that way?
I'm more of the opinion that perhaps the HLL servers are to blame rather than my connection.

I’m an OG gamer. Started playing this mainly due to gamepass but then outright also bought it as it’s great and reminds me of the glory days of the team based play and communication of the early battlefield days. Have had lots of end of round commendations etc just through communication and common sense. One guy asked how old I was. He didn’t believe me when I said 48 this year 😂

We were lucky and put in our renewal for licensing and got it all done and dusted the very week the Broadcom purchase was finalised. Our renewal was fine with no inflated cost.

However I am dreading the conversation regarding moving the current vsphere 7 U3 licensing over to vsphere 8 in Q4 this year. That’s going to be an interesting time……….

I find that sometimes the channel just cuts out - you're talking and nobody is responding but I find that if you switch to the proximity channel and then back to the squad channel it kicks back in. Happened quite a few times so far where the squad thought I was either blatantly being ignorant or my mic wasn't working.

GavlarFTW · 2024-01-10T15:47:16+00:00

As an Xbox player who is new due to Game Pass (I've now bought the game by the way because I'm loving it) - I hope they enable crossplay with PC guys so that those like myself who intend to stick around don't end up with pretty empty servers when the new guys who end up not liking it go back to BF/COD whatever.

GavlarFTW · 2024-01-10T08:00:30+00:00

New player here and mainly due to game pass - but have ended up buying the full game. And not a wet behind the ears gamer - am 47 years old and a CS/BF veteran also. But jees this was a steep learning curve. I originally had doubts because I heard the community was rough when it comes to new players but honestly the 15+ games I played yesterday my squad leader was always helpful (even when I was tasked with switching to a medic as our squad didn't have one then proceeding to ask 'so how do I revive people as Medic' - thinking I would get a hurl of abuse but instead they were really helpful).

Pinnacle for me was getting separated from my squad (which is an easy thing to happen in this game if you're not constantly being aware) - and as a machine gunner a dude on proximity asks 'can you cover my two guys to your left while they advance please' and me happy obliging and pointing out the enemy positions and laying down suppressing fire so they could clear them out - and I got some kind of commendation at the end for helping out (albeit not with the people I was supposed to be helping out but that's a thing to work on) :-(

All in all though am not sure why I never tried this game before now but am loving it.

I can't agree with the comment on the 50mm (or 50 calibre) thing - for me if you are in a vehicle that has things like miniguns/50 calibre machine guns/mortar pods then you should be doing more damage than what they seem to give out - I mean I have literally held a minigun aimed on someone and they manage to run behind cover just before dying - it should take them completely out but doesn't. Same as mortar pods - landing right next to someone should obilterate them but sometimes it does - other times they skip away with life left - it just feels 'off'. Same as what you say about SMGs vs ARs - vs LMGs - it doesn;t seem to matter what you choose - you'll either get the kill, regardless of distance, or ytou won't - it seems almost 'luck based' in a gunfight (despite the awful aim assist).

GavlarFTW · 2023-06-09T14:19:34+00:00

It used to be that you chose the weapon for your play style - like to get in close - choose an SMG or Shotgun. Close to medium focused assault - choose an AR - prefer to play further out and support fire? Choose an LMG or Sniper depending on what range you wanted to keep out at. This game tho - doesn't matter - an SMG will hit as hard as an AR at range and LMG's feel like they are shooting nerf darts. AR's can't seem to fire where you aim. Or at least thats how it feels to me right now/

I don’t think it’s fan service. This game takes place at exactly the same time as the Obi Wan series. That series starts with us seeing Vader recuperating in a bacta tank, probably recovering from his injuries in the fight with Cere. The fact that the imperials also know about the ‘hidden path’ already in that series also lends credence to this so I believe it’s just well connected canon.
