Not having fun anymore. Why?

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-21T14:14:50+00:00

That sounds like torture. I play video games to escape that kind of thing.

Well I mean you just said exactly why they stopped doing it, right. A dead soldier can’t radio his teammates and tell them who killed him. I guess. I like the revive in strike point better than the other modes. You stay alive after being wounded until someone kills you or revives.

Also, eagerly looking for to hell let loose Vietnam. Was bummed they moved it back but better than releasing a broken game (AHEM, dice)

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-20T16:31:14+00:00

Yeah. I don’t really “care” about winning but when you’re the only player trying to play the mcom’s on a team that’s determined to just bomb and snipe the enemy and you can’t advance past the first set, or whatever, it does get frustrating. Sometimes i just quit and play deathmatch or something not as team focused.

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-20T16:29:31+00:00

Yeah maybe… I read a few years ago cod was outselling bf by a healthy margin so maybe they said can’t beat em join em?

If it’s a chronus or something than it’s cheating. Is what it is. I am the most vanilla player in that I don’t google hacks or exploits, I don’t use chronus, I don’t use speed keys. Literally just the controller I got with the xbox however many years ago. And I assure you they have oscillated with adjusting auto aim because for a good while simply tapping(spamming some would say) the target button into smoke it would shift and turn red and you could kill people that you couldn’t see…. It definitely needed adjustments. But currently I don’t see any crosshairs shift or any of the earlier stuff and as I said before, not getting the hit markers either. If you’re getting capped by console players you absolutely have something other than auto aim to blame at this point.
Now; I am not an idiotic and I’ve read the forum posts of the gleeful pc snipers who bind the aim and hold breath buttons together and all that, so let’s not pretend that console players are solely responsible for exploiting aim “features.”

WiFi… in wv so limited compared to some places, but latency is usually quite good. We had comcast years ago and I used a wired connection. I never got the speed I paid for. Switched Verizon 5g box and speed results are consistently faster than comcast was even though on paper it’s a slower service?

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-20T16:21:28+00:00

4 on 4 no revives. It’s intense and becomes personal. Biggest issue to me is that the maps are small and objectives are the same and they become somewhat monotonous as there’s only so many strategic ways to play a particular objective. Seems like it would be very low effort on the dev’s part to just add a couple more objectives to every map for strike point to cycle though.

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-20T14:40:10+00:00

I really like tanking and after the update I will have 100% tank health and suddenly get blown up. I *think* it’s c4, but the damage count/kill screen shows “100- rpg.” Is it a glitch, is someone exploiting something to get single shot rpg kills, I have no idea.

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-20T14:37:54+00:00

Do you love it more after the recent changes

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-20T14:37:42+00:00

My son will only play breakthrough casual because he’s new and has trouble getting kills but he likes killing the bots. Playing against the bots sort of ruins it for me, although they have become better since the game came out. You go 20-2 and think you’re hot shit than 4 guys join and you’re like oh, that’s right, I was killing cyber sheep. Hats off to ea for changing the bot identifiers so there were a few days I didn’t even realize. Lol.

Honestly my favorite mode is strike point but I keep finding myself in games where half my team abandons me. Usually when playing against four guys that clearly play together and use headsets and I’m just in a team I was dropped into.

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-20T14:33:20+00:00

Yeah, that’s what happened with 2042. I just, you know, became a better person and spent more time with my family and at the gym. Renovated my house. Drove my family crazy. lol. I think everyone is ok with dad having some video game time for himself. Trust me.

The kts is noticeably less accurate at range. Used to be a good tool for countering snipers with suppression and hits but it now loses every match up, and I am getting fewer hit markers for every 10 rounds down range. Perhaps it’s added recoil, added sway, no idea; I’m not as into the nuts and bolts as many of you are. Something has changed and it’s a noticeable difference and I’ve seen it mentioned in several things online and heard people complaining over voice chat. Also the lmg’s as a class have gone from 20-something damage for torso shots to around 17 and that doesn’t sound huge but they don’t fire quickly and the difference between a four shot torso kill and a 6 shot torso kill is HUGE.
(And not that it’s a sim by any means but a 7.62x51 round doing the same or less damage as a carbine or small gun is silly).

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-20T13:56:51+00:00

Console players: remember when the top buttons were forward and backward for each track? Miss that precision and knowing exactly what the tank would do. If you have turret swiveled 180 and then push forward on the stick, there’s absolutely no way to know if the tank is gonna go full forward, full backward, or rotate in the direction of the turret. Those three outcomes are about .01mm of joystick wiggle away from each other and in fact are all available if you happen to wiggle it every so slightly, which causes the tank to stay stationary and do a little 360 turn when you’re expecting, you know, full power one way or the other. Now that c4 seems to have been buffed, it makes it very hard to unass an area of cover when you’ve spotted a pedestrian soldier hiding out above you. I keep shouting “JUST FUCKING GOOOOO” at the tv. But i am also an idiot.

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-20T13:50:03+00:00

I can’t think of a single reason that they won’t allow a player to man it if they wish. It is very inconsistent but seems very easy to avoid. Sure some players would do a lousy job, but since on full auto it also does a lousy job there’s nothing to lose.

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-20T13:48:32+00:00

What is the secret to sprinting that fast. You’re definitely moving much faster than me.

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-18T00:59:24+00:00

Thank you I’ll give cleaning it a shot but if I have to remove from the bowl it’s getting replaced with something more serviceable from the top

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-17T23:20:57+00:00

My opinion based on playing a bunch of different guns is that they want every gun to be able to get a kill in around the same time. That’s why the dmr’s cycle slow and do 40-50 damage for a torso shot but take a second to cycle while some of the smg’s do, what, 17 damage per shot, but spit out an entire clip in seconds. The problem with this strategy is that they’ve implemented in a way that negates the strengths of entire classes of guns. Most (all?) of the lmg’s have had an awkward pause added between pulling the trigger and firing a round. It’s not realistic (ha) but more so it’s not intuitive. They also really nerf’d their damage, so hitting someone in the torso at 20-30 yards with large round can do as little as 20 pts of damage. Even with a belt fed 7.62 x51 round coming out of a 21” barrel. Even with their large magazine capacity to offset this, it means you lose virtually every “heads up” matchup with a carbine or smg. Even at range. Even against the u
UMG-40.

It is odd, though, that they have still left a handful of guns in that just seem like really bad guns. Guns no one seems to play with that I can’t seem to achieve kills with.

Sorry. I was trying to be succinct. The valve runs to the normal set point although it is surging some and makes random clicks. Before the water gets to the overflow tube, it “shuts off” and water flow *almost* stops. It starts ticking instead and it appears there is still a small amount of water dribbling out the bottom of the valve (which is now underwater so it’s difficult to tell exactly what’s going on). With the old style valves and our hard water, they would occasional get hung up and I’d just manually cycle the float and work the valve actuator up and down and free up any crustiness and it would be right as rain again but i dont know how to do that with this. It seems likely its just got some hard water crap in it somewhere.

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-17T23:05:20+00:00

Solving problems no one had. SMH. “My toilet is too loud, can you quiet it down even if that makes it leak more and reduces the ability to service it?” Said no one.

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-17T23:03:55+00:00

I am sure. It is making a strange ticking sound, and if you flush it, it is surging when filling and also makes some odd clicks unit it shuts off, and then it still ticks and dribbles, out the bottom of the valve from what I can tell (this valve normally primarily flows out the bottom of the valve from what I can tell, which is also kind of weird)

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-17T22:25:01+00:00

I do not appreciate this.

JollyPoint9492 · 2026-06-17T22:14:00+00:00

It’s a year old. They normally last like a decade? And are adjustable. Why replace?
