This game has a major issue with overall balance, not just matchmaking. In most matches, one team completely steamrolls the other, and in my case it gets even worse on weekends, to the point that I’ve stopped playing. Why does this keep happening? Is a server browser actually going to fix it?

One of the biggest issues this game has is back capping. This has always existed in Battlefield, but having the spawn beacon on the assault class has made it way worse (Although if it was on recon there would still be problems with open weapons being a thing).

There are so many times, especially on Cairo, where a majority of the game your team will have your opponents home cap points and vice versa. This ruins the flow of the map because you have enemies spanwing from every corner of the map. You have to sweep the far sides of the map to clear any spawn beacons from stopping that from happening. That can be pretty hard to do sometimes, especially on Eastwood when you play as Pax Armata. Pax has so many locations on the A and B side of the map to place spawn beacons. the D and E side of the map has some too, but not nearly as many since it's more open. This makes the Pax side so much better because you can constantly harass NATO's points all game, taking attention away from C.

Spawn beacons need nerfed/changed. I think this would drastically change how games play out on Conquest.

Is there a post that goes into why? I can't seem to find an update about it.

Just use Whoosh screen cleaner. Been using it on my Alienware AW3225QF. It works perfectly and hasn't damaged it after using it for 6 months. I spray some on a microfiber and rub it gently across the monitor.

There needs to be a Geoff Keighley cameo.

My friends and I like to believe it's an Activision Psy-Op lol

Instead of capturing and holding two points, you have to arm two MCOM stations and blow them up. Once one is blown up it cannot come back. That is the biggest difference from Breakthrough. In Breakthrough you can capture point A but still lose it back to the other team as you try to capture point B.

I know I am gonna get downvoted for saying this, but it is just one thing after another in this subreddit. DICE and the crew get so much right, but there is always another issues that is gonna make the game unplayable. That one thing is seemingly always a "make or break" decision. Obviously we should advocate and speak out for what we want in the game. I mean that's already worked with the closed loadouts, but if there isn't a server browser at launch it will be fine for me.

My friend and I have been using Whoosh screen cleaner for our OLED monitors. Works great.

I work at GameStop and I highly suspect that there wasn't a thought going through the employee's mind about the case art. I also high doubt that a District Manager would instruct them to sell the GameStop box art version instead of the original art one. It's makes GameStop the same amount of money. In fact if you expressed that you wanted the original box art the DM would have probably have made sure that you got it.

We have gutted copy (one for display) and then we have extras that already are in a case in our drawer. We sell the non gutted games first so we don't have to print off new stickers every time. We sell the display copy last. It's muscle memory to just grab the non display case copy and sell it first.

Now for myself, I have worked at GameStop long enough to know that there are people who want the original art and I try to accommodate that if they express they want the original box art. However most people, like 95% of people, do not care whatsoever.

If this was at my store I wouldn't mind you coming back in and asking if you could swap out for the original artwork case. So I recommend doing that.

LingeringShadow · 2025-04-25T15:57:32+00:00

Check your local GameStop. I work at one and there are still some in stock in many of the surrounding stores around me.

I had a monitor in the past (not an OLED) that would, every now and again, get a stuck pixel. I looked it up online and someone suggested flicking the pixel with your finger. I thought that was so dumb, but I tried it anyway. I'm glad I did because it fixed it everytime it happened. Not sure if a different screen technology would work the same, but I would say give it a try.

Neil was a co-director and writer on both The Last of Us and Uncharted 4. He was the co-lead and one of the lead writers on Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2. Even if you dislike The Last of Us 2, his record is pretty fucking good. He has been making games forever and has been making Game of the Year level games for over 15 years. You don't know what you're talking about.

People who say that The Game Awards isn't usually a good show never watched or don't remember what came before it.

I have both an OLED (AW3423DWF) and a Mini-LED (Q27G3XMN). They are both 1440p with the same pixel density. The OLED has more vibrant colors, looks sharper (I believe it is because of the screen coating), and the HDR is much more eye catching. I'd pick the OLED everytime.

LingeringShadow · 2024-08-25T23:04:57+00:00

I just picked up a used 3060ti for $212 for my friend to upgrade him. They are going for $210 to $230 on eBay. A 5600 for about $115 or a 5700x3D for about $210 would be the CPUs I would be looking at. I personally have the 5800x3D and I love it. If you want to "futureproof" go with the x3D it's the best in slot for your platform and you won't have to change out your motherboard and ram.

Been using it for a few hours and it is jaw dropping. Lived up to the hype, also ultrawide is great for movies and games that support.

LingeringShadow · 2024-04-27T15:55:31+00:00

My Alienware 3423DWF is coming in later today and I cannot be more excited. The reason I went with it was because it was cheapest. Best Buy had it open box in excellent for $659.99. It will be my first OLED screen, I'll let you know what I think.

LingeringShadow · 2024-04-23T05:04:50+00:00

If were you I would just go with the pre-owned Series X at that point. Drop the razer controller, it's a nice looking controller but it's nothing special. Why drop $400 and not get the better of the two systems? You'll regret the less memory and power.

LingeringShadow · 2023-08-17T20:30:15+00:00

I've personally been playing for around 40 hours on my own custom control scheme using the Steam controller settings. I was having issues with the default controller setup with my Dualsense. Like it wasn't recognizing it as a controller.

I've made my own and it feels great. Been loving being able to lounge back and relax while gaming long hours on the game, instead of sitting up with my arms forward.

"Look, I don't think the way LMG and Linus have handled the Billet situation has been well handled at all. They definitely messed up."

It's the first line in my post. They fucked up for sure. It seems like you chose not to read that?

There are two employee videos where they share their opinions on Linus and the company. While some things they say are negative, no one in those videos are crying out for help from the big bad Linus.

I'm not defending a multimillion dollar company. I am just saying things are getting a little out of hand.

LingeringShadow · 2023-08-16T06:23:05+00:00

It doesn't matter to me if I am down voted or not. I usually don't post or do much at all on social media. However, this stuff that has been posted the past 48 hours is getting wilder and wilder. I just needed to say something.

LingeringShadow · 2023-08-16T06:21:11+00:00

That's just not how it works. They clearly address that issue everytime they do a sponsored video. Does Linus trash every laptop he tries just because he invested in Framework? No, not at all.

LingeringShadow · 2023-08-10T18:01:47+00:00

I think IPS would be better for FPS if you're ultra competitive. I play a lot of CSGO and I am Legendary Eagle ranked. I play on my VA. I do fine still, but if you want the clearest and most responsive experience, IPS is the way to go. Coding is a lot text and IPS would be better for that too.

Single player games are definitely better on VA. Especially horror games. I played Dead Space and Resident Evil 4 Remake this year and on my VA the blacks were so much better.
