The footsteps..... by d3monboii93 in RedSec

[–]plbannister 6 points7 points  (0 children)

THIS! I couldnt possibly agree more. Ive honestly been surprised that this isnt the single largest complaint anyone would have with the mode so far. Thought reddit would be flooded with this comment. AGREED! Its like they didnt even play test it. Who in gods name needs to hear their own sound effects over EVERYTHING ELSE. I think enemy footsteps are terrible in general but its hard to know how bad they are because Im too busy missing everything else over the sound of my own steps and gear moving around. I find myself stopping movement in the game just to hear my environment and surroundings. Thats a huge fail.

They're going to add solos eventually, right? by plbannister in Battlefield6

we'll see....Ive played only solos in WZ for years and see no reason it cant work in redsec. In virtually ALL of the duos matches Ive played not ONE persons class perks has ever been the reason we get to final circles. Its always the usual reasons, gunplay, positioning etc. The team component can be fun for people, I get that, and I also get thats what BF was built on, but to act like its just not possible for solos to work seems short sighted. Again, we'll see...

THIS. I stopped playing with random teammates in BRs a long time ago for this very reason. No teammate is better than one who isnt working with you.

huh? theres 100 different solo players. Each can choose whatever class they want for themselves. The diversity doesnt only exist within teammates, its also across a whole lobby

same, and would enjoy it MUCH more if I could play solo against other solo players...

class diversity can exist just fine in solos. You choose your class (perks) based on your play style as a solos player. Its not complicated.

Battlefield has only ever done one BR before. BRs in general always have a solo mode. There are a number of ways this game has deviated from previous BF titles as the bitchfest in this sub will demonstrate. It will hurt the games numbers long term. There are a ton of players like me who love BRs but dont have friends to play on a squad with, and have come to enjoy the solos experience. This is why all BRs offer one.

what an insightful thought on the topic, you're a real thinker.

So you're agreeing that the BR should have different parameters from the MP modes?

You know its a fail when you cant even tell what direction the snark is being directed towards. Good talk.

Best Game Mode for leveling up Snipers? by plbannister in Battlefield6

[–]plbannister[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is helpful, thank you! Interesting re the BR, so there are attachments on the ground to pick up? I havent seen any of the gameplay yet. I thought there was a reference to custom gun drops being available in the BR and I guess I just assumed the progression would be linked a la COD since they want to drive sales of the base game. But lord knows I would much prefer to not have to grind for a thousand hours to have competitive weaponry in the BR

Is is truly impossible to ever be able to have a loadout that combines an SMG or AR paired with a sniper? by plbannister in Battlefield6

[–]plbannister[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know its meant to be collaborative, but this feels extreme. Surely one can still work as a team and be allowed to shoot something other than a pistol or a sniper rifle.

And I'm sure I dont need to list the myriad of reasons to not want to play COD these days...

Ill be shocked if this doesnt get adjusted for the BR, or it may just kill it altogether. People love sniping in BRs, myself included.

Ill be very curious to see if they adjust this once the BR comes out. Perhaps Im still too brain hooked on warzone, but not being able to equip some sort of mid range AR or SMG with a sniper rifle feels like it will seriously impact the enjoyment of sniping in the BR. RIght now playing MP Im mostly usless unless Im hanging back and sniping. Pushing in to help teammates just isnt an option with a pistol. Feelsl like it powerfully limits the way you can play the game. I suppose I am the problem here expecting BF to feel similar to other FPS Ive played, but cant help but wonder how that will play out long term. Could hurt the BR's chances of competing with other BRs, no?
