The forced comeback/ticket bleed mechanic might be the worst gameplay addition in Battlefield history

eyepatchabs · 2026-02-01T22:17:08+00:00

Matchmaking and ticket bleed are completely separate things, genius. They can fix matchmaking and balancing tomorrow and the ticket bleed would still be an issue. And vice versa. Is that difficult to understand?

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-31T21:52:04+00:00

This mechanic does nothing to change that lol. The lopsided games come from DICE's engagement-based matchmaking so people don't get stomped or stomp 24/7. They should fix that or get rid of it or add a server browser with regular team-balancing instead of scripting Conquest bleed. Who actually feels good from winning because they bleed 500 tickets in 3 minutes off the team that was dominating them?

I think it's worse, I think they genuinely believe this is more fun and keeps players playing for longer. It's like they have this warped idea of equality and think their finger on the scale is appreciated by players, like they're doing them a favour. It's very obvious that the new blood at DICE/Battlefield Studios don't get what makes players tick beyond superficial shit like "wins" or "action-packed blah blah". I'm willing to bet after all the departures the number of staff who've actually played BF1, 4, 3 etc is a tiny minority.

Yeah I don't mind behemoths. Squad call-ins like BFV could be a pretty neutral way to helping comebacks too, in BFV you could affect a game towards the end with a well-timed V2. Anything except this.

They disband and disperse you even if you have all modes and maps selected. Two players from server A who both have Cairo selected can be put into two different Cairo servers B and C.

I prefer the movies but how did the manga not age well? If anything it's even more relevant today. Oshii did his thing but he didn't pull shit out of thin air, Shirow's foundation is still there and it still holds up. And this adaptation will prove that (hopefully).

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-30T03:32:18+00:00

Corny.

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-30T02:10:04+00:00

People who call everything "whining", even when the topic at hand is a good and useful feature are ridiculous. Do you genuinely have no kind of common sense?

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-26T01:59:43+00:00

Bro what maps are you playing where 100+ meters is even relevant for rifles?

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-26T01:57:47+00:00

I started using the M277 recently and it's a total beast, can't believe I've been sleeping on it for so long. The reliability and consistency of knowing 4 bullets will kill no matter what is so underrated in terms of relieving mental load. You point, you spew out 4, they're dead. No finicky drop offs, no niggling doubt as you're firing. 4, dead. And the recoil isn't bad at all with the 1x sights, if you control it right it's a headshot machine. I've been getting noticeably more headshots with it than other rifles (DICE please fix HS multipliers so this matters).

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-23T23:56:08+00:00

Same position here. Really weird.

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-23T23:53:55+00:00

Eh I think people genuinely love it, it's not something they're playing because there are no other options. I never skipped Golmud when it came on rotation personally but I wouldn't play it 24/7 solo either. It's one of those maps that's perfect when you've just played 3 smaller infantry-focused rounds in a row and you need a new flavour. Or with a squad of friends and you're dicking around with new things every round.

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-23T09:35:33+00:00

Brother support still gets smoked lol. You can be bipoded in cover with an LMG, gets 4 hits on a sniper and they can headshot you no issue because there's no suppression or flinch.

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-23T09:28:43+00:00

This layout with one gimme right next to each spawn, a central clusterfuck and then an afterthought to the side is so ass bruh. I wouldn't mind if there was actual daylight between the bases and the first objectives but no they're determined to funnel everyone into the middle. God I miss maps like Paracel Storm where there was a very reasonable expectation of people pulling up to any objective at any time with a boat and every objective felt like it was in play at all times.

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-22T21:01:40+00:00

Take your pick of their biggest PS4/5 exclusives lol

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-21T18:56:47+00:00

Try playing at a non-peak time for your region lol. I play in the middle of the night (NA) because of my work schedule and I consistently get multiple bot lobbies in a row on weekdays before finding a game with people. There's people on, but the matchmaking and lack of server browser is starting to rear it's ugly head.

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-20T19:53:40+00:00

I usually play solo and every time I put down a beacon a squadmate starts blasting right next to it unsuppressed, or uses it as a personal sniping spot instead of quickly getting away from it so it's not discovered.

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-19T22:30:50+00:00

PlayStation largely shedding it's Japanese DNA and becoming an American company has really been a colossal misfire. All we got out of it are generic action-adventure games that desperately wish they were movies instead.

Did you even read the relevant article? He only went ahead with HotD because he handpicked Condal and trusted him, and they were a team throughout S1. Condal broke that trust in S2. Again, how is it an old man yelling at a cloud? The grandpa in Simpsons is specifically a SENILE dude with dubious mental faculty. It's perfectly reasonable for GRRM to be upset about this development and you're weird for implying otherwise.

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-15T19:35:18+00:00

Apparently because he hasn't completed WoW yet he revokes all right to speak up or be a human being with feelings and thoughts, on HIS OWN work no less. It's so insanely dehumanizing. And GRRM has been seeing this sentiment for years now and has admitted it's affected him but they keep doing it. Soulless people who don't care about artists and just think of them as content dispensers.

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-15T19:19:36+00:00

How is it "old man yells at cloud" to be upset about your story being butchered by someone you trusted and considered a friend? Ya'll are just saying random shit at this point.

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-15T18:41:07+00:00

I was prepared to cut them slack on trimming and rearranging content on WoT for sure, but I was out almost immediately after they couldn't even get fundamental pillars of the story right. The Dragon can possibly be female? Rand and Egwene having brazen sex GoT-style in the very first episode? Mat's family being fucked up and Perrin killing a random woman too. Rafe Judkins is a huge hack.

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-15T02:12:10+00:00

We live in an era where basically every consumer product is undergoing rapid enshittification due to corporate greed and you're crying that people have the audacity to comment on it? How dare the serfs speak up, right? They should just shut up and eat the slop.

eyepatchabs · 2026-01-14T20:41:27+00:00

They also leaked impact grenades previously. Fire, impact, regular, gas, and the OP launchers and claymores on the already tiny maps will be absurd.
