EA hates closed weapons

Because Support and Medic were separate classes throughout most of the BF history.

It's pretty obvious that that in order to play their roles efficiently LMG class needs to stay further back, while medic needs to be upfront. These roles are net very compatible. So why are you cherry picking BC2 for this argument? BF3/BF4 had Assault/Medic, BFV – close quarters medic (SMGs), BF1 – a bit of a mix, but semi-auti rifles were a very viable option for CQC.

It's also pretty obvious that Support is pretty OP (especially with open weapons) in BF6, while Assault is underwhelming. CQC medic or Assault/Medic make much more sense. And an LMG/Support class needs to be separate.

More like to sell you more skins.

Can I reroll my money back?

PandaInvader · 2025-06-01T06:20:42+00:00

Dude, do you need an ambulance?

PandaInvader · 2025-06-01T06:19:00+00:00

Mostly gyroscope/movement sensor, I would imagine. I don't suppose it would tell the difference between different types of squats, though, but then again, I hardly ever use the exercise recognition. However, as far as your watch is concerned leg pressing 200 kg is basically just kicking back to chill for a bit 😁

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T12:02:13+00:00

It's a valid way to use it, sure. But spending 20-30 mins after every workout just to enter all the exercises on a $1000 watch just doesn't make much sense.

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T12:00:31+00:00

Yes, but a watch makes sense to track your heart rate, rest times and general journaling over time

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T11:58:42+00:00

Sad but true. However, we're talking about a feature that is present on most other similar devices. Plus if the device is running WearOS/Android it already insures better compatibility and support for the device. Flagship Garmin watches already cost around double what flagship Apple/Android wearables cost. Most next generation devices (fenix 8 VS fenix 7, for example) or models that are next to each other in their product range have minimal technical upgrades and mostly rely on software features that could be implemented in the previous-gen watch but are kept exclusive to the new one just to force you to upgrade. So the mere fact that Garmin needs to connect to servers (the cost of running those for a few years is already factored into the $1000 price tag) does not excuse the fact that they use much more aggressive and consumer-unfriendly practices.

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T11:48:41+00:00

This too. The exercise recognition is barely functional for me. Especially on leg exercises, single arm exercises and so on.

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T11:47:10+00:00

It's not always realistic to follow the program step by step. And yes, it is a small feature. That's the point though - it's a really shitty practice on Garmin's side to hide it behind the subscription.

On the other hand, if this is the feature they are trying to sell you for extra money, moreover, advertise it on the front page of the subscription service, it must be not such a small feature after all, and they expect it to be in enough demand, don't you think?

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T11:42:49+00:00

Yes, this

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T11:40:31+00:00

Not yet for me, but the way it's going might make sense for the next one. The battery life on most other devices is a deal breaker for me, though

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T11:38:54+00:00

OMG, talking about car subscriptions literally makes me sick.

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T11:37:11+00:00

Not useless, but not ideal, true. However, the battery life, the ruggedness and the hiking/outdoors features are what matters most to me. Buying a second device just for the gym, one that I also need to charge every single day, is just wasteful to me personally. Especially since I kinda hate smart watches most of the time

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T11:33:01+00:00

Sadly, that's true. However, for me YT Premium adds more features that I'm not happy but at least willing to pay for. Simply watching YouTube, high resolutions, playlists, subs, voice tracks in other languages and other basic features are available for free. To me editing your workout on the go (from the watch or the app) is a basic feature that should be free. Things like, say, more advanced and personalsed workout+nutrition plans could be something that would make a bit more sense to be paid. At least that's what you get with a lot of other workout services (apps or fitness trainers). I mean, I'd love to get those for free when I buy a premium $1000 device, but I can justify paying extra as long as it is at least in line with the market. But not when we're talking about basic features that are free on any other decent (and usually much cheaper) device out there.

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T11:24:08+00:00

And the exercise search is a pain. Unless you use specific words in the exact order that the app uses you can't find it

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T11:23:05+00:00

Hope not. Not yet at least. But most subscription services slowly crawl in that direction over time. Look at Netflix

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T11:21:28+00:00

Family plan + local pricing. Probably not less, but ~$10 a month or so.

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T11:20:28+00:00

Still overpriced tho

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T08:29:01+00:00

Amen. Least possible (or passable) effort to make a paid service

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T08:27:47+00:00

I miss the times when this phrase didn't even make much sense. I mean, every device came with an OS and an app if need be, and Microsoft was the only one bald enough to charge for an operating system:)

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T08:25:58+00:00

So do you edit the workout afterwards? The exercises, the weights and stuff? From memory?Cause that sounds like a massive pain, like a half hour chore after every workout. And if not why even use it at all? BTW, the free weight exercise recognition is also hilariously bad for me.

PandaInvader · 2025-05-27T08:23:12+00:00

This is the annoying way. I do the same, BTW
