@TBagGamingYT They already fucked it up.
It's popular because modern gamers are just dumb consumers that swallow marketing like in any other industry, not savvy enthusiasts.
The sales were great.
The player numbers are dropping off fast.
EA don't care. They want to make a new BF every year...
@BrokenMachine It's 10 years later. There are many more players and gamers these days are just mass market consumers, not enthusiasts.
Also there are many BF fans that were hugely disappointed by BF5 and hated BF2042 and were desperate.
BF1 is still the best and probably always will be.
@TheTacticalBrit@C9EmZ Excellent!
Now let PC players have cross-play OFF option and add input-based cross-play options and everyone will be happy.
There is no making controller and MnK 'even'.
@DsciSiv The complaints aren't about controllers making players #1, they are about making many encounters uneven.
Aim Assist (and recoil reduction and rotation slowdown and whatever else) DON'T 'even the playing field', they add further imbalance.
The solution is cross-play OFF for PC.
@SgtDangerCow This isn't a good fix if that was the intention.
Is it just the distance reduced? Or is it the targeting too?
I can't tell.
Just feels like I have to be too near and too focused on the corpse and it still doesn't work half the time.
Also drag is now better... ffs...
@BattleNonSense@EA_DICE Bad design from @EA_DICE ? How surprising... /s
@BattleNonSense Chris! Please please please do your magic on the technical effects of cross-play?
It seems to me since I've used the PC cross-play off workaround that the gunplay ('netcode') got better, which is a big deal, no?
@MrProWestie The revive/resupply one I'll not be doing. 300 is ridiculous compared to the others.
I don't want to play 50 games of Sabotage.
Clearly not tested at all even after having so many problems and fixes in other challenges.
It's incompetence.
@TriggerBF Bot kills removed from stats, but not bot deaths, so stats now meaningless.
All the while still forcing people into bot lobbies even when hundreds of thousands are online because match-making heavily biases filling cross-play lobbies.
Incompetent.
@MrNerveDamage@oliverCAndersen Yup the party system is awful.
The cross-play system is awful.
Fundamentals of the game. Designed and implemented badly.
@oliverCAndersen Stop forcing cross-play for PC users. It's a horribly insulting bias that console players can choose and PC can't.
It also seems that cross-play causes degradation of 'netcode' - those that opt out get a better experience.
Care to comment?
@oliverCAndersen Stop match-making prioritising cross-play lobbies.
At the same time you remove bot death stats (but not bot kill stats, making it meaningless) you are still forcing players into bot-filled lobbies even though hundreds of thousands of same platform are online.
@BFBulletin They even messed that up by half removing bots stats so what is left is meaningless.
And at the same time are still forcing people in bot-filled lobbies when there are hundreds of thousands online because terrible match-making prioritises cross-play.
Incompetent.
@BFBulletin@DANNYonPC As Danny points out: They HALF removed the bots which is worse than useless.
And at the same time they are still forcing people to play against bots because of terrible match-making prioritising console cross-play lobbies.
Incompetent.
