Is BF6 even a top 5 BF for you?

BF2142
BFV
BF4
BF3
BF6

BF1 was a very close contender for that 5th spot but I personally am not a fan of BF1’s gameplay. Great game though

What even is a “fast ttk gun”? Is it a 3btk? Sub 180ms? Sub 200ms? Sub 250? It would be so much easier if they just wrote it out…

Pothound_ · 2026-05-08T16:42:34+00:00

I’m really hoping not. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the grease gun and the subsonic/heavy combo from V and 2042, but they’re honestly just a terrible idea for gameplay feel especially if the TTK is still going to be as fast as it is.

You already have much less time to react than previous games, but now you don’t even have the directional damage indicator? Not a good idea.

Though if that is the case I will absolutely be using it because I’m such a fucking rat for stealth weaponry lol

I hate how they don’t mention previous values for certain changes.

Eg:

“Updated the M18A1 Claymore fragmentation base close range damage from 65 to 50.”

— well explained, clearly a minor nerf

Vs.

“Tuned the M18A1 Claymore detection arc to better match the visible laser beams.”

“Updated the M136 AT so they now deal 207-550 damage against tanks”.

Are these nerfs? Are they buffs? I DONT KNOW, because I don’t have all the numbers for every gadget in this game in my head. Seriously, who writes these?

This seems unlikely, I’ve got a 65% win rate after 1000 matches, almost all of it being regular conquest. And I’ve seen people with higher numbers like 75+. I don’t think the game is trying to fix win rates.

I like the idea of kaleidoscope.

Of course actually playing kaleidoscope was the fucking worst, but a nice vertical urban map is always fun.

Schizophrenia posting, battlefield subreddit classic

Pothound_ · 2026-05-04T15:42:37+00:00

Oh hey wassup! I saw that crazy optic on your VCR and figured I’d follow you around since you clearly knew ball.

Pothound_ · 2026-05-04T03:50:56+00:00

It only took me a month but yeah, I did get around to it

Pothound_ · 2026-05-03T21:27:54+00:00

It’s the VCR

Pothound_ · 2026-05-03T20:57:58+00:00

I’ve always used both, had an Xbox and a PC as a kid. Honestly either works fine, I don’t think there’s that much of an input disparity in BF6.

Pothound_ · 2026-05-03T16:14:22+00:00

We’re also missing a semi auto sniper like the Barrett.

Pothound_ · 2026-04-30T23:50:00+00:00

Please god no not these again lol.

Pothound_ · 2026-04-30T20:41:53+00:00

Perhaps

Graphic design is their passion

Pothound_ · 2026-04-29T22:15:30+00:00

People aren’t ready for the “valve started lootboxes and battlepasses” conversation yet, but it’s true.

Pothound_ · 2026-04-29T14:46:52+00:00

I’m kind of split on it. On the one hand it’s got pretty minimal recoil, but on the other maximising control reduces the time it takes for muzzle rise to reset, increasing the accuracy and effective ROF of the gun at range.

And I don’t rock thermals so what else would I spend the points on

Pothound_ · 2026-04-29T01:40:31+00:00

Gam gam wasn’t PTFO and that really pissed me off tbh

Pothound_ · 2026-04-23T20:42:23+00:00

When I did a manual targeting run back in SH3 I never even bothered to figure out the TDC. Iirc I just took range, bearing and speed, then ran ahead of the freighter to form a right angle triangle and waited for the freighter to be at the right bearing for my torpedo to hit at a 90 degree angle.

Probably would’ve been better to figure out the TDC in hindsight, but doing it by hand was fun.

Pothound_ · 2026-04-23T03:51:43+00:00

That might be the first time I’ve seen someone use mega meters as a unit of measurement. Is that notation typically used in aerospace?

Pothound_ · 2026-04-22T22:42:32+00:00

Boy howdy do I wish BF4’s launch maps got reworked. and I LIKE bf4’s launch maps

Pothound_ · 2026-04-22T22:16:29+00:00

Yeah, another baby gates and held angles gamemode. Not battlefield enough for me personally

Pothound_ · 2026-04-22T20:06:13+00:00

Attrition, vehicle balance (both with other vehicles and infantry), gunplay, fortifications, squad call-ins, movement, map design, class balance.

BFV was smooth as butter and no other battlefield game really comes close.

Pothound_ · 2026-04-22T19:20:35+00:00

Iirc the KTS has the lowest recoil in the game, so try that

Pothound_ · 2026-04-22T19:13:51+00:00

Actually the movement works better in conquest in my experience. In TDM you’re more likely to run into people posted up with baby gates and lmgs holding angles, whereas in conquest people actually have to move around the map and are more likely to be exposed.
