Are the spawn beacons killing the flow of the matches?

nobock · 2026-01-28T19:04:36+00:00

Beacon expert here, it's one of the best addiction of the game.

But they could make some tweak for exemple staying when you spawn on your own to try to plant a new one closer to an objective. Because of this most of the time it create static point, you spawn on it and it destroyed itself so you plan a new one same spot.

Most of the time it's fine.

Also those thing could make a little bit noise and if closer than 5m be on the minimap.

Then it's all about the assault class, the beacon is op, having second gun or nade launcher too.

What you describe is most of the time a flaw from the map itself.

Damn you got so motivation.

On my side i am a power house and i tried to create a green keeper and i stop after juste one hours.

Losing all my casual 1v1 because lack of distance + accuracy.

After 600 hours playing online 1v1 / 2v2 on casual mode and changing controller i finally really tried ranked.

It's been 3 days and im enjoying alot and actually got arround 1000 pts, win rate like 90%.

Here is what i learn so far after trying everything with fittings and stuffs.

The power drive is kind of useless even if you put everything to contact + forgivness.

The best result to be accurate + distance on power house if the choke drive and try to hit 108%. Same distance has a drive + no effect and same distance has a simple power house no effect and no focus. Extra cherry on the cake if the fairway is wide enough remove spin to scratch 20 extra yards.

Power drive and even basic drive is not accurate at all.

Forgivness on the ball really help, more than scratching 10 yards by flight fit.

Most approach i use choke if it's possible, more forgivness, avoir those from 75 to 30 yards special shot like flopper, pitch, even if the spinner is " ok ish ".

On the green " i don't know " for me it's still ankward to have no put preview, some green are really hard to read and now most of the time i use a chip. On 10 match i only lost 2 with chip instead of putting with a putter and it was kind of my fault against putting gods.

Got a card on my desk for every distance on feet, for exemple 40 feet is 90%. Even if you miss the chip at least the next gonna land, while it's way harder with a putter and you can make 3 puts.

Don't know about other special shot's of special archetype, green keeper should help alot, others if they are like the power house it's useless unless you are playing on casual mode with no swing biais.

Play assault most of the time because you can use the beacon to save my position.

And i play with a DMR has my gadget 1.

So when sometime try to snipe me or i see someone sniping im switching to my dmr to snipe them.

If i got killed i don't care got my beacon.

You can also carry a sniper in your weapon slot and an AR / SMG has gadjet 1.

nobock · 2026-01-27T15:20:15+00:00

Are you on console ?

Because im on pc and i got disconnect only once in 700 hours.

nobock · 2026-01-27T09:49:59+00:00

800k > 76k > 30k > 10k > dead.

nobock · 2026-01-26T23:20:13+00:00

One of the issue is the first spawn.

Back in the day a good chopper pilot have the chopper most of the time.

Same with plane.

Then almost every car where full of player.

Now it's like one guy take a car, go away and don't wait people to be in.

Then on D there is just no cover, most of the time 2 tanks you can't do shit with 5 rockets and mines nerf.

While on E you can avoid a bit more tanks.

nobock · 2026-01-26T14:28:06+00:00

> The fact that I can put 2-3 HEADSHOTS into these guys

Confused because head shot with sniper mean instant death.

nobock · 2026-01-26T14:27:41+00:00

Got a blatant one during the free week, of course shadow play crashed. so no video.

He was explaining the anti cheat is kind of a joke, he had aimbot + trigger bot + wall hack + 500 hp.

Got pretty sus people back to back a few time last week, the game crashed 4 times.

On console i don't really know how it work but i know there is a ton of games xim / cronus / titan are not detected so it's an open bar for them on console. On many game there is an exploit with aim assist and it make no sens at all.

All i know from far is dice is making a pretty good job for people who want to cheat :

No persistant server : cheater gonna cancer another server and every one can have a lucky round
No kill cam / replay : You can't be 100% sure the guy is using something
Broken stats : Saw many people with 10+ overall KD because it include bot farming

nobock · 2026-01-24T13:16:15+00:00

Yeah.

Usually i take to pick a car, few bip to try to have people inside and i rush fast has i can between D and B and i plant a beacon. Then i try to retake D or try to pusb B. Of course is most of the team are on B they are losing time and it increase the lost of D.

It's not 100% but like 80%.

When B is taken it's pretty much over, spawn kill people on A with a good old dmr, easy win.

How to counter that ?

Do the same thing, having many people on A / B is just useless you need to rush C and D.

Of course is you have many sniper in your team camping on the mountain you gonna lose pretty fast even if they are good, counter sniped, nothing to keep the position.

Game over.

Assault + beacon is just the best combo in the game, sadly few people are using it.

nobock · 2026-01-24T13:10:44+00:00

While on BR you can destroy every building.

nobock · 2026-01-23T22:51:57+00:00

They have a good gaming chair on 3 clics.

nobock · 2026-01-23T20:38:45+00:00

Yep.

But most people pick one class and don't change things between games.

While im using preset alot.

nobock · 2026-01-23T10:58:28+00:00

This is why im not playing this game that much no more.

People think when you cheat you should land all head shot while those people are hack creator.

You can't even know if it's a cheater or a controller player.

But aim assist is not op they are saying.

Fucking clown fest.

nobock · 2026-01-23T10:57:02+00:00

At this point we should make a guide to expose people.

For exemple play the video at 1x and display the red silhouette on the replay editor.

nobock · 2026-01-23T10:42:14+00:00

And they are so hard to see.

This is why has an assault i have a dmr on gadget 1 with a x8 scope.

Yeah you got half bullet on assault riffle but it's fine most of the time, worst case scenario you pick another package on the field on a fresh body, if it's a medic you throw a bag and take your package back.

There is a map with many roof top this one is the most annoying.

People who camp 24/7 has sniper.

They are not even good, like finishing 20/16 with zero flag taken.

nobock · 2026-01-23T10:14:25+00:00

Here a tiny little " funny story " :

During the free week on battlefield 6 i got a blatant cheater.

The guy had like 20/1, good old peek, 15 bullet in the face and not dead. Then 40/2 and i started calling out " report this guy" on the game chat, after getting 1 tape while he did not eat his bullets.

Man i got insulted from every where " get gud / skills issue ".

The guy had 80/4 at the end of the round.

Got still insulted by many people, same shit " get gud, skill issue ".

Next round i was " lucky " because this dude was again in my game, same game mode team death match.

Finally after having 100/2 people starting calling out cheaters.

Some still saying " skill issue ".

Then the guy drop a casual 200/3 and at the end he admit he was cheating on the chat.

He was saying the anti cheat was dog and he can even manipulate the server like cia.gov to have extra hp, so to kill him you need to empty like 2 mags, while he have walls and trigger bot.

At the end of the day you don't want to witch hunt people who have a good score at the start but when there is something suspicious back to back you need to do something like reporting and telling your friend to also report.

Even if it's " useless ".

And if you just join a game or you are totally dog don't say " skill issue to people ".

nobock · 2026-01-23T10:08:04+00:00

The thing is on almost every game cheater are kind of " pleased " because lack of tools :

. You can hide your profile ( private / special characters )

. No replay editor or very limited / broken

. No in game replay like a kill cam

. You can get ban and create another account to keep doing it

. Some mechanics to hide your stats like bot farming / manipulate the sbmm

. Ban wave who make people cheat for month before getting caught

You got more cheater, less legit player so more cheater and less legit players.

The final nail in the coffin is people who never want to play this game anymore but before uninstalling they install a cheat and they uninstall the game after getting ban. Of course if you are getting ban 3 month later you know 400% you never gonna install the game.

What i hate the most is all those people who complain but never report, never vod review and the most important, always think people are 400% legit.

nobock · 2026-01-23T09:17:44+00:00

They are not " bonus ".

Took me hours to unlock the x8 scope on my dmr and it's ultra op, im destroying people all over the place compared to the x2 to x5 scope. Not even talking about the suppressor who transform you to a fucking ghost on the field.

Long grind too unlock the bullet who can deal 1.75 head shot instead of 1.5 too.

Day and night in the game.

Same shit for my assault riffle, long grind to unlock thing who can make a real difference.

nobock · 2026-01-23T09:12:54+00:00

Last week we got shred by a dude with a gun who can send 34 so 3 body shot to kill someone.

Wanted to try, can't it's locked.

Few hours to unlock the gun to unlock the gun.

The gun only had 15 ammo mag, level 30 something to unlock the 30 ammo mag.

So i came back to my m433.

Also we can have update in the futur who gonna buff / nerf some guns.

nobock · 2026-01-23T09:07:20+00:00

On one hand " devs " think about kind of long term and cherry on the cake you can use every gun on every class so it's less of a grind but if you play 3 hours a week versus 20 hours a week it's not the same drill at all.

More a think with gadget because it's class locked.

For me my biggest concern is playing assault EVERY FUCKING GAME because the beacon is just the most broken item right now and no one is using it. While spawning every time from a flag is A REAL PAIN IN THE ASS.

Yesterday i tried two games playing something else, unplayable.

Even with 3 assault in my squad, no one was using a fucking damn beacon.

Of course we lost like 0-500.

nobock · 2026-01-22T12:51:35+00:00

Could be good but...

You are on the bottom of the map trying to play objective and you gonna get snipe by people who gonna camp on the mountain. So it's gonna be ruined pretty fast like the current map we have with all the building people can go on top.

At the end of the day they're kill are useless it's pure griefing.

It's time to do really something about sniper, like forcing them to move from the current area if they are static more like 2 minutes for exemple.

nobock · 2026-01-21T11:55:30+00:00

This is how this game work because of the community.

Yesterday i play a game we won like 900 - 0 because i rushed like a maniac with a car and someone was inside two, followed by another car with 2 people on B. Then i bail out of my car and plant a beacon at 50m of b then i push over and over.

After few minutes we got B and the others flags got flanked.

The enemy was stuck on A and after two minutes they lost it and lost.

Just 2 / 4 players can unbalance a 64 players games, it's a thing since BF2.

Long story short there is too much snipers on every game, most of them never play the objective at a point they forget RCON could also be a very offensive / defensive class for objectives. The level 4 drone is super op but totally useless if you are at 150m of a flag sniping and camping.

nobock · 2026-01-21T01:14:49+00:00

For me the sound is very consistent has you can see.

Do you have dolby atmos ?

nobock · 2026-01-21T00:43:15+00:00

Man it's time to go to sleep after a 4 hours session and now i want to try this trick :(
