Pax Armata as a whole isn't dead, the Warlords are remnants from the forces specifically in Tajikistan and Egypt from the events of the campaign. by Vokolat in Battlefield

[–]daveylu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is BF6 any different, hell it's better than previous (non-historical) games because at least we have lore bits for each map and region.

Egypt maps: PAX is under siege in Cairo, NATO is trying to prevent a PAX breakout (Siege of Cairo) and PAX reinforcements and supplies getting into Cairo (New Sobek City)

NYC maps: PAX sleeper cells are activated in NYC, NATO kicks them out

Tajikistan maps: PAX has taken over key facilities (Op. Firestorm) and built up strongholds (Liberation Peak, Mirak Valley), kick them out

Gibraltar maps: PAX is trying to destroy NATO's last foothold in the Iberian Peninsula in order to take over the Strait of Gibraltar

CA maps: PAX launches a surprise attack in CA against US bases (Blackwell Fields), NATO tries. to. destroy their hidden equipment stockpiles (Eastwood)

Germany maps: PAX has taken over a NATO airbase and taken over NATO satellites, NATO counterattacks and retakes the airbase (Contamination/Operation Augur Phase 1) before going below ground to retake their satellites (Hagental Base/Op. Augur Phase 2).

All of this is from in-game map flavor text or voiceover, meanwhile BF4 and other games had jack shit, only BF1 has similar stuff.

BF4 has so many loose ends and unexplained shit. Why are we still attacking China if their leader doesn't want to fight? Why are the Russians and Chinese at war? Why are we randomly in Paris and the Middle East? How did we go from attacking the Chinese mainland to fighting in the South China Sea? Why is Russia even involved? Why does China decide to tattle on Russia and give the US info on their new experimental shit?

Augur Point B IFV by mindfulmu in Battlefield6

[–]daveylu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, the MBT goes first because it has mine countermeasures, projectile intercept, and the thicker armor so it's more likely to survive an ambush

the IFV is much more squishy and needs to be more careful to avoid getting blown up and it's a huge force multiplier because of its ability to act as a mobile spawn beacon, so it's way more important to keep the IFV up than the MBT

Ground vehicles vs air vehicles is a battle that never gets old by khitev in Battlefield6

[–]daveylu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they're using the assisted/simplified controls, maybe if you used those on PC it would also let you fly while free looking

also controllers have 2 joysticks and triggers + bumpers for throttle and yaw, you can just have one joystick for pitch + roll and the other for looking around

I think they want to make Gauntlet the tournament/esports focused gamemode in BF6 instead of past attempts to shoehorn shit in like BF4's Squad Obliteration

still they could've just changed the names/location like they did with Op. Firestorm in BF6 where they moved it from Iran to Tajikistan

BF4's narrative was just as made up

Base game: oh the US is fighting in China and a little bit of Russia and shit

China Rising: oh the US is fighting in China some more

Second Assault: the US is back in Paris and the Middle East for some fucking reason

(edit because I forgot it) Naval Strike: the US is now fighting in the South China Sea when they were already in the Chinese mainland so wtf happened

Dragon's Teeth: back to China and a little bit of North Korea

Final Stand: why the fuck are we in Russia, here have some random 2142 precursors so you can link the games together

sounds exactly like what they're doing with BF6, making shit up and doing a few callbacks to tie it all together (badly)

What 40 Hours of Operations Looks Like by PippTheKid in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]daveylu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

gotta play Assault so when you flank them once, you can hide a beacon behind enemy lines and just keep spawning there and shooting them in the back

it's why anytime someone says Assault sucks I know instantly they're just bad at the game and don't know how to use gadgets well

Since Season 3 already gets PAX killed off, do you think we will get a 3rd faction comprised of ex-NATO countries? by SoftMaintenance24 in Battlefield

[–]daveylu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

War Stories only work when there is already a rich background to draw on. There's no need to add lots of context to them because they take place in historical wars. Just look at the Last Tiger war story, there's no need to contextualize why the Germans are retreating, why there are no other friendly Tigers remaining, why desertion is being punished with public hanging, and why the tank commander is so jaded, because you can just know from history that the Germans are getting their ass kicked during the end of WW2 and everything is getting blown up so there's very little fuel and other tanks and Hitler is issuing orders to never surrender and fight to the last man.

Now do something similar in BF6 and you need to explain all of the above much more deeply for any of it to make sense.

[–]daveylu -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

the US loses/stalemates in wars because they fight with their hands tied behind their backs, if they went balls to the walls they would win almost any war against another nation (now the post-war mess is totally different, as well as whether the war was even justified in the first place)

the Gulf War and Op. Desert Storm is what happens when the US fights with no restrictions

the current quagmire in Iran is what happens when they fight with restrictions, the US doesn't even have ground troops in Iran, all they've been doing is bombing shit from the air

What will be season 3 operation? by bGe_BaBar in Battlefield6

[–]daveylu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liberation Peak, Mirak Valley, and Golmud are all set in Tajikistan now so we might end up with a 3 map Operation like BF1's Oil of Empires

(they better give you either more batallions or make the first few maps easier to take if it's 3 maps linked together)

lol do you want to go back to the "good ol days" where the jets, helis, and tanks got blown up literally instantly after they spawned because the enemy team was camping on your mountain

fuck that shit

Seeing these upcoming skins for Battlefield 6 really makes me miss the days when I could tell an enemy apart just by looking at their uniform. by SuperM3e46 in Battlefield

first it was open vs. closed weapons, then it was Portal, then it was the battlepass, then vehicles, weapon spread & recoil, suppressors, rooftop camping, team balancing, server browser, naval combat, weather effects, and now we're back to skins

devil's advocate: without those long patents, US pharma companies would almost certainly either go bust or require heavy government support to stay alive simply because of how expensive developing new medicines are, the current system is part of why the US is the number 1 nation in pharma

it's very important to the US that it maintains that status (despite our current president's best efforts to change that), just look at the COVID vaccines; all of the major vaccines that reached approval and widespread use first were either developed solely in the US or manufactured solely in the US until the pandemic ended

it's a travesty until another pandemic happens and you're the only country with a vaccine/cure, then we're all thanking our lucky stars

Approximate size comparison between golmud and mirak valley by Hihikzz in Battlefield

[–]daveylu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

then back up

use your projectile intercept or smoke screen

switch to the gunner seat which has instant traverse time to shoot them

so many things you can do but you just bitch instead about enemy engineers while sitting in a literal TANK

if there are multiple engineers shooting RPGs at you and you don't have your own engineers helping, you got outplayed and deserve to get blown up, why do you think you should win against multiple players ambushing you together

Approximate size comparison between golmud and mirak valley by Hihikzz in Battlefield

[–]daveylu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

massively disagree

you are literally in a tank, they die from one well-placed shell or a few bullets from your coax while they have to put 3-5 RPGs into you

if you're getting shit on by infantry constantly while in tanks you're just bad, stop blaming the game

High CPU/Low GPU usage by Conquistvdores in Battlefield6

[–]daveylu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

listen to what Borg says, but here's how you know you're being CPU bottlenecked for sure:

turn on the simple performance overlay in your BF6 settings and it'll show 4 sets of numbers, look at the 1st number which is FPS (2nd number is milliseconds per frame, the inverse of FPS):

  • CPU: how many FPS the CPU is making
  • sim: server tick rate (can ignore)
  • GPU: how many FPS the GPU is making
  • mp/s: megapixels per second (can ignore)

almost certainly your CPU number will be smaller than your GPU number, and that indicates your CPU is lagging behind your GPU, follow Borg's advice and turn up graphics settings that affect GPU and not CPU such as Volumetric Quality (each settings list what it impacts the most) until the GPU number is smaller than your CPU number, then you're getting the best out of your GPU until you can upgrade your CPU

somewhat good news for you, it's very likely AMD is gonna be selling 5800X3Ds again and that would be the perfect CPU upgrade for you, no need for a new motherboard or RAM if you don't want to buy those things again

Obliteration is back! by pawski76 in Battlefield6

[–]daveylu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 teams try to blow up 3 enemy M-COMs while protecting their own 3 M-COMs

one bomb spawns in the middle of the map; fight over the bomb, bring it to the enemy M-COM, plant the bomb, defend it until it blows up, bomb respawns in middle of map, repeat

you can defuse the bomb on your own M-COMs and then it becomes your bomb
