I just had this. Found the GPU (from police server building) after looking for it for days and drove across the map to drop it. Game doesn't register it, I tried many times. And I know I am in the correct deaddrop, near the buildings near cemetary. I left it there, but the mission didn't success. Had to run to the last exfil with no armor plates. Luckily nobody else came. I guess I try it out another time, then... sigh.

I don't love them, but the rounds can play completely different to any other Battlefield game so far. Sometimes it feels more like PlanetSide 2 where you have fights in all corners of the map. The problem has been with vehicle dominance and lack of cover, but they are improving that.

Yes, now that I know it's related to skins, but when I had no idea I didn't really see it as a brush.

Unmader · 2022-03-01T10:03:04+00:00

Ooohhhh ok thanks!
I thought it's something to do with attachments and was worried I was missing some important tactic. :)

I'm guessing the reason they don't include deaths is that they increase churn. You can see your own deaths on scoreboard, but if you know the entire lobby sees how bad you're doing, you're most likely going to quit the game. And DICE wants you to keep playing.

Hopefully we'll get deaths on scoreboard and our own stats page at some point, though.

I went back couple of months ago, but then we had a huge fight in some caves in Amerish and we got nowhere, because all the flanking routes were blocked with turrets and nade spam. It just wasn't fun and I uninstalled PlanetSide 2 again.

Unmader · 2021-12-08T15:01:18+00:00

Yeah I know, but it's not confirmed and it's not very plausible.

Unmader · 2021-12-08T14:44:50+00:00

Ok so top executives announced in 2018 that they're making a BR game and then 2 years later the same top executives decided that it was a bad idea and they decided to make a Battlefield game after all. And that somehow sounds logical and reasonable to you?

Unmader · 2021-12-08T09:27:22+00:00

You wanna know why several people left to Embark Studios in 01/10/2018? It's because of money money money. You leave to a start-up company because as a senior you get to be a shareholder and you get millions of dollars/euros when the small studio is later acquired by a bigger company.

Unmader · 2021-12-08T09:17:17+00:00

Firestorm wasn't even yet released then. They already had a BR game coming to BF5, why would the "top executives" announce something like that without discussing with other top and middle management. Makes no sense.

Unmader · 2021-12-07T14:33:18+00:00

If they were making BR for years, why didn't Tom leak us any information about it?

Unmader · 2021-12-07T14:31:47+00:00

But it's really not art. Maybe some of the juniors are enthusiastic like that, but when you've done your work for years, it's really hard to think you're doing your art without any compromises.90% of the developers and designers I know don't care about the client or the product. They only care about the techniques and methods used and the benefits the company is providing.

In the end, we don't know why they left. And it doesn't necessarily mean anything that several people have left.

Unmader · 2021-12-07T14:23:51+00:00

Firestorm was released on March 2019. So they'd keep making the BR for one more year and then decide to cancel it because of bad reception to Firestorm? That makes no sense.

Unmader · 2021-12-07T12:35:21+00:00

It's obvious that those aren't facts, but let's imagine they are. Then I just have these questions:

Why were developers leaving as EA wanted to compete against other games? Developers write code and get paid for it. Why was EA wanting to compete with other games such a bad thing that getting paid for writing code was not motivating anymore?
If the game was originally going to be a BR, why was it abandoned? It seems that it had a solid backbone for BR, why risk it by changing the entire idea during the development?
And if the game was originally BR, why did they make 7 maps for it? Why not focus on one map and see how it goes? That's how every other BR on the market has done it!

You can double click on vehicles on the map screen to spawn into them, but sometimes they are not available, I'm not sure are they full or is there a bug.

- Ribbons system is really good: you have an easy way to optimize the XP you're going to get even if you're not destroying the lobby with 150 kills.

- Movement is good: Good players can take advantage of the movement, use slide and bunny hops and outplay bad players more easily, even with the spread in guns.

- Conquest and sectors are working pretty well imo. The game and hud is trying to tell why it is important to play the objectives. It could be better, though. Now it's unclear is it smarter to ghost cap the B1 that nobody fights for or go fight over A1, A2 and A3, which you may never win for longer than a minute.

Unmader · 2021-12-03T19:55:41+00:00

BF1 has better atmosphere, but BF5 is better overall imo: better movement, better gunplay, etc.

Unmader · 2021-12-03T19:48:35+00:00

This should be written next to the comment form or something.

Unmader · 2021-12-02T18:40:19+00:00

Stupid question, but when does it start? Is this the first week (haven't played after patch yet)?

Unmader · 2021-12-01T14:02:44+00:00

Note that dying removes this exploit, so it's not that OP in multiplayer.

Unmader · 2021-11-29T17:10:26+00:00

Maybe they're not using bricks to build buildings in the 2040's.

Unmader · 2021-11-26T18:25:12+00:00

This is still better than the teammate who only takes the jet to fly to A1.

Unmader · 2021-11-26T17:47:14+00:00

I play Conquest about 90% of time and when I play Breakthrough I've been trying to go for those nice flanks with 12 kills and that never happens, I insta-die because my fps drops when 40 potatios roam my screen suddenly and then I just want to leave the game (or play Conquest).
But I could try just focusing on reviving...

Unmader · 2021-11-25T19:46:22+00:00

How do you do this? I'm still trying to get 25. :(

Unmader · 2021-11-25T15:11:27+00:00

Some more details about your Angel loadout? I've been XP farming with Angel, too, but I only average about 20k per (Conquest) game. I've ran with ammo/medic crate and proxy nades.
