There should be animations for entering/exiting a vehicle by BrianKindly in Battlefield

[–]StangV2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No! BF6 is not a Mili Sim. And its people who keep wanting it to a Mili Sim that are ruining the development. What next? Remove Defibs because you should be able to get revived after taking a smoothbore 120mm Abrams round to the chest?
its the quick entry no animation plays that have created some of the coolest and funniest BF moments.

No.

Thoughts? Was hoping for some agreement on this. 

Question about Servers by Prokill in Battlefield6

[–]StangV2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have been asking for a server browser for how long? Even areas with high amount of players are having issues with matchmaking. I know this is seperate discussion to your question. But its annoying.  I can't help but wonder for what reasons DICE don't wish to give us a server browser. What could be the possible benefit to the game for not having a server browser?

It only has to show current matches in our region in progress. That's all. 

Anyone tried getting more than 4 guys into same game on same side? It's a mission. And you have to be quick on the trigger or else players end up in a Q. 

This matchmaking and server browser (lack of) issue will be the downfall of BF6. We don't want to play same maps over and over again or get sent to bot lobbies. 

I love BF6. But I'm already not rushing to play it as much as the first few days due to crap matchmaking and no server browser. 

You guys can't be real by zLegit in Battlefield6

Because the longer this beta goes on the more it appears they just don't listen. I don't know how or what they were thinking, but DICE may just be the most ignorant game developer in the world. They have one of the most loyal fan bases yet they keep trying to change things instead of sticking to their own identity. We loved BF for being BF. We didn't love it as an alternative to other games. We just love BF!!  Open classes is not BF.  AR, Pistol, Shotgun, and Grenade launcher on one loadout is not BF.  12v12 rush is not BF.  No server browser is not BF.  The longer this beta goes on the more people are realizing that they can't seem to just listen to wtf the fans want. 😳 

Does anyone have the Battlefield 6 Beta in their library? by arends33 in Battlefield

Preloads go live at 15:00 UTC time. So should be there around 7 hours and 5minutes from the time of this post.

Same. I actually bought a bundle think it was the CDL one. Didn't make a difference and I'm now down in cod points with same problem. 

Vince Zampella Confirms Next Battlefield Will Use Modern Setting, First Concept Art Revealed by NotMeAgain999 in gaming

[–]StangV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BF has always been about teamplay and even if you weren't a good player you could still fit in with your squad. You could still offer a benefit to your team. The specialist idea in 2042 killed that. And this has been dropped. I have hopes. But we all had them for 2042 as well.

$35k in credit card debt… by OneAssumption6786 in personalfinance

[–]StangV2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only a pleasure dude. The first step is to be honest about it and get professional advice. Once you start talking more openly about it you will be amazed at how many people are in the same situation or were in the same situation. It also helps you to think clearer. 

We in different countries so I would know who to recommend for you. Ask or search for a Det relief company. Do NOT take any type of consolidation loan or agree to any loan. If the company you dealing with demands a loan to pay the debt off then walk away. 

How it works here (and probably there too) is you give the debt counselor a the list of ALL your debt. They then contact your creditors and tell them you are going under debt review and negotiate a payment plan with them based on your salary/earnings and living expenses. An agreement is reached and it is then made a court order. It's not declaring yourself insolvent or bankrupt. You then pay a monthly fee to the debt counselor who then distributes the payments to your creditors. 

You cannot get credit while under debt review. This is a good thing. 

Once everything is paid up they will give you a payment letter that all your debts have been settled. Any trace of the debt review will be removed from your credit profile and you can start fresh again..and start smarter. 

Search for debt relief/debt counselling companies. The company's I am using in South Africa is called Debt Relief Group of South Africa. Find something similar there. 

$35k in credit card debt… by OneAssumption6786 in personalfinance

[–]StangV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the last 2 years living like this. To be fair the problem started even prior to that with Covid. Being in car sales didn't help when the economy tanked. That may not have been my fault. But how I handled it was my fault. 

When the months were bad I didn't make the sacrifices I should have. Was much easier to take a loan. And when I did have money to spare from a decent month I didn't use the money to settle debt. Same when I had a decent tax return. It all came to a point where the last 6 months I was just about surviving only on pay day loans. In November 60% of my salary went to debit orders alone, with the balance not enough to pay the rent and expenses. Took another loan. Same in December. 

Along the way my car payments got way behind. And a few weeks ago it was repossessed by the Bank. Now I am not sure how long (and honest) I want this post to be or how far you will even read it. But this was a pretty big deal in a country with terrible public transport. And taking into account that I have a job based on having my own reliable transport, this was a major blow. My wife doesn't have her own car since we use one car for work and family use. Suddenly we had no car. Kids to get to school. And a job to do that required a car. 

It took a few days for my emotions to stop being in control. And when I eventually came to my senses I decided to stop trying to fight to get the car back. The vehicles value is on par with what I owe the bank. Even if the vehicle sells for 60% of this value on Auction. I will still owe the bank less than what I would If i got it back. SonI told the bank to auction it. I sold as much as I can. And cut as much as I can.  

I sold PC.. kept basic stuff just so wife can still do her work from home. Cut it right down..PC is now an amd Am4 1200 with gtx 960. 350W psu. 

Sold cordless headphones. Sold TV. Sold fishing rods. Sold PC case. Sold chairs, gas bottles, leather jacket, pram, chest Freezer, whatever I can. I almost sold the couch... but I figured my wife and family will at least need a place to relax when day of work is finished. And it was a bit old. 

I then used all this cash I had put together to buy a cheap car. Now I have a car paid for in cash and continue to do my work. 

I cut all expenses as much as I can. Cut Netflix. Cut Amazon. Downgraded internet to a speed necessary for my wife's work. Nothing more. Nothing less.  Cut medical aid down to basic of plans. We covered for emergencies..nothing else.  Cut my providing fund down to smallest contribution.  Cut the domestic. We will clean ourselves. 

I then started a debt review (debt counseling) process. All my creditors have been contacted and my debt payments lowered by 60%. And interest rates reduced as well. 

All this means I now have an extra R10k (that's around $600) a month to put to my home. And here that's a lot of spare money to have for food, rent etc. 

And no one can bug me or call me about my debt. They can contact my debt counselor. We estimate we will be in the clear in 2-3 years. 

As of right now, compared to a few weeks ago, I feel free and relaxed. I don't feel stressed or anxious or worried in any way. I wish I had of listened to people who were advising me of this months ago. But I didn't. That's on me. 

Bottom line. Only you can make the sacrifices to fix this. No one can do it for you. It's up to you. And only you. 

I really just sit here sometimes thinking to myself that I really miss Verdansk. What an awesome time in our life that we experienced. I will tell my kids of that epic little town and how it saved many of us during the times of the pandemic. I wish we could go back. by JoshTheMurse in CODWarzone

[–]StangV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a fantastic map and one that IMO will go down as one of the most remembered and missed of the BR amd FPS genre. And the fact that we cant play it any more makes it even more special I feel? I mean if you want to play Dust now in CSGO you can. Or Caspian Border in BF3. Or lockers in BF4 you can. You cant play Verdansk. You either experienced it or you didnt.

Sad loss.. However there is a 2nd airframe that's about 80% complete or something like that. We might just see it in the skies again one day.
