128 players is way too many people on a map and its chaotic as frick. It sounds good in theory but i'm not sure about it.
BF1 was made for it if the maps could have been exactly double the size. but alas, there’s no way that tech could’ve handled it

Yeah, I know it's no big deal to them or anyone else. I just feel like it misses the mark big time for me.
I found a Portal custom server that is BF3 everything, infantry focused, Rush. It's fricking awesome.

Agree. On some of the spots in the middle of the map it’s impossible not to get shot from any and all directions, while trying to blow up a tank, and not get fricked by a helicopter
ETA: and maybe it’s because I’ve been playing solo for the most part, but it feels damn near impossible to hold an objective at times

Actually got around to playing some Breakthrough, and actually enjoyed it quite a bit. Still working out all the lame specialist stuff, but hacking vehicles with Rao and C5ing them, or using the AA missile is pretty fun.
Conquest though is a complete distaster because of how big some of the maps are. If you don't get a vehicle at the beginning you're absolutely screwed.

Yeah I'm trying figure out how to spawn into a transport at the beginning, but for some reason it's impossible.

this infuriates me to no end. Basically if you dont get one your frickign running for the next 5 min with no points cause the flags will be capped before you get there. I cant stand running forever then getting sniped cause there is hardly any cover while im trying to get to an objective. everytime i attempt to call in a vehicle none are available so im basically just running. Its battlefield not runningfield.
I have no idea on this specialists bullshite. I just basically use Boris and set up a sentry and camp a flag that is pretty close to others as that's where the action is more steady. Which guy has the robot dog thing that follows you? I cant see to find that gadget under any of the specialists. Also i have no idea how to equip the grenade belt under Sundance. I just hate specialists. Maybe i just need to try them more.
I hate the fact that I run missiles but always run out and never find ammo crates. No one hardly uses them cause most people dont last long enough to need them. Same way with med crates.
Im hoping with a couple patches and new maps they will hit the mark. It just doesnt have the feel of a battlefield game to me so far. I wouldnt mind smaller maps and less people or more vehicles for these huge maps. If Im not hanging around claimed flags then I just feel like im running most of the game trying to find action
I havent tried portal yet but every time I check there is like 2-3 people on a server.

When I do the pop up menu it says call in unavailable most of the time.

I’ve only had that problem at the very beginning and I’d just wait 30 seconds and it would let me call it in. Hovercraft is wayyyyyyyy wayyyyyyyyyy OP

The switch load out guy. But the ammo resupplies with the ammo crate so you can just bring the ammo crate in and plop it down and pick up more explosive ammo as you go

hell yea thanks. Also which specialists has the sentry dog that follows him?
Posted on 11/17/21 at 11:04 am to Lucky_Stryke
Anyone can call in Fido. Gotta use the call in feature.

Seen so many clips of people doing crazy shite with it. Cracks me up like old BF times seeing a hovercraft scaling the side of a skyscraper.

Am I an idiot or is there no way to change your load out/weapon in a 1942 portal match?
Bugs the hell out of me running around with a Thompson as a kraut, I want to equip the mp40 how the frick do I?

Roadmap for next 30 days detailed:

A message from DICE reads: “Ahead of the start of our worldwide launch for Battlefield 2042, we have a small update targeted at addressing some critical issues that we identified shortly before the start of Early Access.
“In the coming weeks, we’ll have more to share around further upcoming fixes, balance changes, and QoL enhancements. Over the next 30 days, we’re presently scheduled to release two further updates, with our next update delivering more fixes and improvements that we’ve identified during this first week of Early Access, and a larger and more substantial update following after that.

BATTLEFIELD 2042 PATCH NOTES
Fixes, Changes, and Improvements
Implemented Server Side upgrades that are targeted at reducing instances of Rubber Banding, often experienced in the later part of a round in All-Out Warfare modes.
Significantly reduced instances of stuttering when playing on Breakaway. If the Silo’s are destroyed, it should no longer reduce performance on the server.
A note that we are continuing to investigate similar occurrences that have been reported to us on other maps.
When looking at allies on your team, their names will now correctly display.
Adjusted the animations for Falck during the End of Round sequence to ensure that she is displayed correctly.
Updated a skin earnable for Boris via Mastery Progression with a new name: Gator.
Ensured that TDM Rounds in Battlefield Portal always start with Random Deploy set as active. We observed that this sometimes wasn’t active when moving from round to round, but have now fixed this.
Applied a set of measures that ensure the correct number of AI spawn in Custom Battlefield Portal modes using the Free for All preset.
PC Only - Enabled Specialist Selection in Hazard Zone via mouse interaction, removing the need to lock in your selection with the Spacebar.
Fixed a rare occurrence in Hazard Zone that would sometimes cause the End of Round flow to not activate correctly, ensuring that the correct amount of bonus XP was awarded.
Repaired an issue found in Hazard Zone that could cause players to be shown on the Map when they were not visible, or spotted.
Provided a fix for Hazard Zone players who were not seeing their Extraction Streaks updating correctly.

Reddit is absolutely destroying the game, but I'm enjoying it lot. The only map I don't like is Hourglass (and last night had to play it 3 times in a row because of no Playlist), so if I play I just hang out and fight over A sector.
Honestly if they added some POI to sector A just that area would make a great smaller infantry mode map.

It’s not perfect and I’m sure they will improve it. It’s total madness in big conquest games but I enjoy it haven’t gotten to squad up with my buddies yet, I’m thinking that will help
