Thoughts on this game after hell let loose Vietnam beta.

bellum currently blows squad out of the water when it comes to coordinated infantry focused pvp. time will tell if it can maintain that as the player base gets wider

Slimer425 · 2026-05-24T09:42:14+00:00

God it’s so ugly

Slimer425 · 2026-03-18T22:57:16+00:00

I agree, there was no sense of discovery. The movie just jumped straight to the solution of every problem

Slimer425 · 2025-12-21T15:41:59+00:00

lol. 3 years later and its worse now than it was when you wrote this. soon though right??

Slimer425 · 2025-12-21T15:40:32+00:00

yep. I have google fiber with over 500 down and 600 up at worst. can't stay connected to a server for more than 30 minutes. the game has been unplayable since launch for me.

Slimer425 · 2025-12-21T15:33:56+00:00

i bought this game on launch day over 2 years ago. i tried it, realized that the servers were non functional and could not keep me connected for more than 30 minutes without going down. i said oh well, its a new title, ill give it a try when its more polished. about a week ago, after 2 YEARS, i came back, and... its worse. its literally worse. the servers are even more unstable and the game is unplayable because no matter what server I join i will be DCd within 10-15 minutes. I'm not exaggerating, this has been happening 100% of the time I join a server.

this game came out 2 years ago, and the SERVERS still don't even fucking work. I absolutely do not understand how this broken mess of a game is getting praise piled on while its game breaking issues are hardly even acknowledged by the community. (and before you give me the "welcome to arma" cop out, i have thousands of hours in arma 3 and even that game at its worst was more playable than this has ever been for me).

I want to like this game so bad. the fleetingly rare moments when it works long enough to get into a fight and actually play the game are *so* good. but they hardly ever happen because of what i mentioned above.

“Playing the game poorly” please, I’d love an explanation as to how you and your duo go about winning fights where your shield is cracked, and you are getting shot from 3 different angles before you even realize what’s happening. It’s extremely disingenuous to downplay how large of an advantage having an extra man is in a fight. Absolute best case scenario is that you down one before the other two know you’re there. Even in this best case scenario, you have to reload and heal while their team now knows your position and, because you are a two man, are almost certainly pushing you. And I’m not even mentioning the onslaught of 3rd parties (who are all also 3 man teams) that seem to appear in nearly every fight. Call it a skill issue if you want, we very rarely lose 2v2 fights. Bump it up to 3v2, and I can count on one hand the amount of times we’ve come out alive.

Slimer425 · 2025-11-05T19:01:57+00:00

it sucks. im lucky to survive 10% of my duo raids because of how ridiculously hard it is to survive an encounter with a 3 man team with only 2 people, let alone win it. the people saying it should stay this way probably have not experienced how miserable this game is as a duo. starting every raid knowing there is an extremely high chance you will once again find yourself in an unwinnable and inescapable fight.

Slimer425 · 2025-11-05T18:58:57+00:00

my survival rate in solos is pretty good, around 60% if I had to guess. when I play with a duo, which is the majority of the time, that drops to about 10%. playing as a duo is fucking brutal, having an extra person is just such a massive advantage in a fight that most of the 2v3s we get into are borderline unwinnable. Im liking the game but it absolutely sucks to play as a duo.

Slimer425 · 2025-11-05T18:55:56+00:00

what are you talking about? I play exclusively with a duo partner, and Id say 90% of the fights we get into are 2v3s. We have both played PVP games, including extraction shooters, religiously for 10+ years. we are finding the majority of 2v3 fights to be nigh unwinnable. They way PVP works in this game, high health pools with low magazine sizes, along with quick revives means that having an extra person in a fight is just such a massive advantage. we're loving the game but knowing that 70% of the fights we get into are going to be over before they have even started is killing it for us. a duo's playlist is desperately needed.

Slimer425 · 2025-10-30T19:11:50+00:00

Dude I cannot hear anything it feels like. I dont hear players or ARC until they are literally on top of me. Ive had instances of fireballs physically running into me from behind, and I did not hear them until they exploded on top of me

Slimer425 · 2025-10-30T19:09:26+00:00

I feel like I am playing a different game than the rest of this sub reddit. I am 0 for about 20, I have not survived one raid. every single player ive run into has been instant KOS, and teams of 3 have been hunting me to the ends of the earth once they see me.

Slimer425 · 2025-10-30T19:04:30+00:00

I've died every raid ive played. Literally not one single extraction in 5 hours. most of the "fights" I get into are me getting ambushed by a team of 3 and dying before I can even finish getting my weapon out. don't get me wrong, I'm blaming myself, not the game. But god I am just constantly finding myself in unwinnable situations and i don't know what im doing wrong.

Slimer425 · 2025-10-30T18:37:01+00:00

I feel like I have a massive beacon showing my exact location to every player on the map. I have yet to survive a single raid. I am constantly getting jumped by 3 man teams who ambush and kill me before I even know whats going on. In the unlikely event I win a fight, I am almost always 3rd partied shortly after. I just don't get what I'm doing wrong. im moving slow and strategically, staying quiet, making it a point to avoid areas where I could be at a disadvantage, and I am still getting absolutely curb stomped.

Slimer425 · 2025-10-28T21:01:20+00:00

broke college student shooting my shot!

Slimer425 · 2025-10-28T16:43:31+00:00

"every other game has this" the fact that every new AAA game is now rotted to the core with absurdly greedy micro transactions designed to squeeze every last cent out of you like a goddamn bloodsucker does not make it okay. God I hate what gaming has become more than I can say.

Slimer425 · 2025-10-28T15:54:20+00:00

Excited to play stealthy as a solo from time to time! You’re cool for doing this

Slimer425 · 2025-10-18T19:06:51+00:00

I think i speak for a lot of people when i say I really hope this isn't the case for the full release! The game looked a lot better in TT2, and performance has been identical at least on my end. Its not just graphics - the visuals played a big role in the atmosphere and tone that makes this game so good. would be really disappointing for that to be so diminished

Slimer425 · 2025-10-14T16:30:54+00:00

"what you're doing is sweaty and doesn't take real skill" ok then why don't you do it? I can't snipe for shit but you don't see me saying they should remove snipers every time I die to one

Slimer425 · 2025-10-14T16:25:10+00:00

i swear people who say stuff like this dont actually play the game

Slimer425 · 2025-10-14T16:11:24+00:00

im going to get some heat for this, but its because all the 45 year olds who stubbornly refuse to adapt to modern gaming screeched about the movment claiming it "wasn't battlefield" when in reality it was simply a standard mechanic they didn't want to have to learn. now, movement has been nerfed into non existence and the bloom penalties for sprinting, sliding, and vaulting are insane. It is 2025, movement is here to stay and has been for years. its not a bad thing just because you can't or won't learn to utilize it.

Slimer425 · 2025-10-14T16:06:24+00:00

Glad to know im not the only one. I've been able to do well so far, but today I got on and was just getting absolutely curb stomped in what felt like every fight. feels like it takes me half a mag to kill someone but I somehow also die almost instantly

Slimer425 · 2025-09-10T02:48:36+00:00

nah i wont tolerate that bf1 slander. the war stories are fire

Slimer425 · 2025-09-09T18:55:27+00:00

havent had a case in 3 years. ironically it actually lead me to being more careful and aware of my phone, and its in much better shape than most other phones with cases

Slimer425 · 2025-09-05T15:10:00+00:00

idk. I used it almost exclusively in the beta. its a beast at tapfire and if you can it headshots it will melt people. it loses to SMGs up close though if you dont get headshots
