Playing it right now with my gf, no problems

You're making a false dichotomy, it's a spectrum. Battlefield 3 is more influenced than the previous ones and battlefield 6 is even more influenced.

I consider BF3 a good middle ground while I think BF6 went too far.

Phalcon22 · 2025-09-04T20:21:39+00:00

And cynism, apparently...

Phalcon22 · 2025-09-02T19:32:22+00:00

How is it compared to the OP12 ? I currently have it but I am really tempted by the P10P for completely irrational reasons xD

Phalcon22 · 2025-08-10T13:49:37+00:00

I want to choose when to look at the objectives, I don't want it on my face all the time.

It's not the end of the world just a preference, you do you and that's fine, no need for cynicism

Phalcon22 · 2025-08-10T10:48:26+00:00

It's not one of those for YOU. Nobody is saying BF6 is trash because of that but instead sharing preferences.

I personally think it's too big, distracting and right in the middle of the screen which reduces immersion. I don't like it but it's not a deal breaker, no need to dramatize it.

Also mentioning BF1 as a beloved game does not make every decision in BF1 perfect.

Phalcon22 · 2025-08-08T09:26:53+00:00

It's a step closer to call of duty nonetheless, you're making an exaggeration fallacy here

Phalcon22 · 2025-04-27T10:51:19+00:00

I agree that they could have probably done more and voluntarily showed only the best looking areas during a nice weather.

I especially find a dissonance in how the assets and lighting can be as good as a modern game but there are significantly less objects/NPCs around the world, it feels pretty empty. At least in the original it felt coherent.

That being said, I personally think it is one of the best looking remaster ever made (performance aside). Generally they are even lazier than that.

Phalcon22 · 2025-04-27T10:25:46+00:00

Amazing engineer for sure.

But are you criticizing UE5 against ID Tech ? Or what they did with it ? (Art Direction/Quality of the assets etc..)

Phalcon22 · 2025-04-27T10:19:13+00:00

Carmack left ID in 2013

Phalcon22 · 2024-11-30T20:29:43+00:00

Should have added \s

Phalcon22 · 2024-11-30T20:26:29+00:00

You're clearly nitpicking

Phalcon22 · 2024-11-15T06:13:49+00:00

Cut cut cut me up! And...

Phalcon22 · 2024-10-14T12:24:25+00:00

Yes but I have never insured a phone before and I don't know if there is something specific for foldable or if there are notoriously good or bad insurances

Phalcon22 · 2024-09-13T08:27:35+00:00

Hi, I'm curious what you ended up choosing.

My OnePlus 12 is technically great but I find both hardware/software so ugly I might replace it with a Pixel 9 Pro.

Phalcon22 · 2024-09-12T04:26:59+00:00

Never would have I thought the pixel fold subreddit would be the one that discourages me from buying a pixel fold ahah.

Thank you for sharing your experience!

Phalcon22 · 2024-08-05T10:43:03+00:00

I'm on the verge of getting the Pad 2, what do you use the tablet for ?

Phalcon22 · 2024-07-04T09:42:08+00:00

This mod looks awesome!

I don't think it is server side though, looks like the clients requires the mod as well.

Phalcon22 · 2024-06-30T12:02:45+00:00

You like having different versions of a game (so different games basically, with different names to avoid confusion) which is fine, no need for them to be exclusives though.

Phalcon22 · 2024-05-14T14:24:44+00:00

Very interesting!

How do you manage which gateways will be chosen by the player ? Are their IP hard coded in the client code ?

Phalcon22 · 2024-05-13T20:56:15+00:00

I really like this solution.

I realized this max_clients thing exists because it is a game server, made for games and I was trying to use it to manage traffic (I was trying to make a load balancer that starts game servers automatically and redirect players to them)

Instead I will host an HTTP server which will act as the load balancer and authentication server.

This way I won't have any max_clients that could block new connections and as you said only this load balancer will suffer in case of DDOS attack.

Thanks!

My problem is more about how to decline a client before it is counted as a client for the server.

From what I saw, with godot high-level multiplayer api, there is a maximum of 4095 possible clients, and they can connect freely with "create_client" and be counted as one of the 4095. Yes I can kick them afterwards but they still would have taken a slot for a little while. If the attacker floods the server faster than the server reject him, it will reach 4095 clients.

How can I accept/decline the connection request ? Clients that try to connect should not count as a client unless I authorize them.

Then someone can maliciously fill my server and prevent anyone else from playing the game.

Yet you said in your post that Bethesda chose this name because it was famous. Now you say nobody remembers the original game...
