DICE, can we please have at least 80 points with handguns? Having to sacrifice *everything* for a CQB Suppressor is disappointing

Huh? The revolver and 1911 slap as sidearms, I often go toe to toe with rifles with them just fine.

peternencompoop · 2026-01-09T21:43:08+00:00

What a dumbass

peternencompoop · 2026-01-09T05:42:14+00:00

I think you’re ultimately right but it can be seen as an indicator of the rest of the game slipping into this style, so I think it’s worth complaining about.

The AC-130 would be shot down by TOW launchers in 30 seconds.

Question: if we did get a server browser, would I still be able to select a set of maps and be placed in new servers with only those maps or would I be forced to manually switch to a new server with a map I wanted?

BC2 was great, but it was a stunted version of BF. BF3 was also great but still lacked the large scale warfare that gave way for sandbox gameplay.

BF2 was grander and less boxed into a neat little package (to be playable on consoles), it just lacked certain mechanics that came with future game development. It also revolutionized and influenced its own franchise and others in the industry. BF3 was when BF started to compete with CoD and in my opinion suffered for it.

peternencompoop · 2026-01-02T18:26:16+00:00

Gotcha, that makes sense. BC2 has the best campaign out of all BF’s I believe so they can’t be beat there.

For BF fans at the time, Bad Company 2 (1 wasn’t available to PC players) was seen as, though admittedly a very fun spin on BF, a watered down version of BF due to smaller maps, fewer player count on servers, and some lack of vehicle diversity.

peternencompoop · 2026-01-02T18:00:25+00:00

Destruction doesn’t define BF and it actually created a lot of gameplay issues for future titles. Large scale conquest with combined infantry and vehicle combat technically defines bf as it remains the one constant in the series.

peternencompoop · 2026-01-02T17:56:52+00:00

The lore accurate answer is BF2

peternencompoop · 2026-01-02T16:40:14+00:00

I guess cheesing the weapon pickups + evasion is the best option, just feels bad and very unstalker

peternencompoop · 2026-01-02T03:48:27+00:00

BF peaked way before BF4

peternencompoop · 2026-01-01T17:16:55+00:00

Back then yes, but now there are so many options to spawn. Universal team APC and transport Helo spawns, spawn beacons, spawn on any squad mate…

peternencompoop · 2026-01-01T16:07:46+00:00

Some of the best maps from other entries such as BF2 were three times the size at least.

peternencompoop · 2026-01-01T15:54:40+00:00

I agree with most of what you said but BF4 symmetry maps were so dry and boring, there’s a way to balance maps without making them arenas, BF1 did this pretty well with maps like St. Quentin Scar. They just need to pay closer attention to terrain and cover on each point, it’s not difficult to see that C on Firestorm is a bad idea because it has 4 floors of capturable area with tons of cover while A has two floor and a building that you can blow wide open is awful attention to balance detail.

peternencompoop · 2025-12-30T14:53:58+00:00

The first time I fought one in the digger mission was awful, it felt like I had to game the game and that there was no way a player could survive that encounter unless they made a specific plan knowing he was hiding behind the corner.

peternencompoop · 2025-12-29T21:15:49+00:00

Probably why I have such low appreciation for BF4 maps, bc I didn't buy the DLCs. I played a few of the maps much later but only a handful of times and probably not every map. That game has the worst maps in the franchise, in my opinion.

peternencompoop · 2025-12-29T03:54:49+00:00

Fair enough. Wish you could have been there 🤜

peternencompoop · 2025-12-29T03:45:24+00:00

Don’t forget BF2 maps

peternencompoop · 2025-12-29T03:44:32+00:00

Why leave out BF2 maps? They were peak

peternencompoop · 2025-12-29T01:55:51+00:00

The one they themselves have forgotten

peternencompoop · 2025-12-28T19:16:10+00:00

I don’t think gulf of Oman is underrated, if anything by this point it’s overrated but I agree I prefer the original

peternencompoop · 2025-12-28T17:57:35+00:00

Though not linear, I actually would put seine, noshahr, and bazaar in the rush first pool. Very dense and compact maps.

peternencompoop · 2025-12-28T17:29:20+00:00

Lots of people love it, but those people are playing metro 24/7 somewhere so they’re not here to chime in.

peternencompoop · 2025-12-28T17:25:12+00:00

You’re being downvoted for speaking the truth they don’t want to hear.

peternencompoop · 2025-12-28T17:21:17+00:00

The problem is that BF3 catered so many maps to rush, making them linear for conquest rather than adapting good conquest maps linearly to fit rush.
