Battlefield 2042 - Irish Specialist short gameplay footage
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
That was an editing cut, not aim assist. Watch again at the plane in the sky and the bullet counter
while you are absolutely entitled to your opinion, none of those things where the elements that made Battlefield fun. Battlefield evolves with each title and it has done since BF1942. Also you talk about it now, but you will play it regardless because I just see that list as stuff that annoyed you but you kept playing each installment anyway
In the end its easy talk to hate a feature they have not played themselves and judge it based on how it sounds on paper, creating their own fantasy of it and think it will suck. The in game execution of features is that makes them good or bad, and unless you have tried it its just empty complaints.
edit: back on topic
I loooved irish in BF4 and I love Michael K. Williams

I think that's a good change.
Far too often I'd play a class based on guns available, especially since some of the class equipment in BF have become weaker since BF1. Like Assault class requiring help from other players to destroy a vehicle etc as you don't have enough ammo to do it yourself.

I finally can make a character my own now. I always like that.
I'm suddenly very curious about Battlefield timelines and lore
Well that explains it
Hah I think were at the point where the people who played these games as teens are now the majority of the market and so well likely see lots of nostalgia plays and 'back to basics' titles. Happens a lot in media, fashion etc.... circular nature of culture supply and demand.
Yeah we knew about armor from the initial Irish announcement. Irish spawns with a little bit of armor.We see also some other specialists. Also armor icon again. Guess that is linked to a trait?
BF has had the best mantle and climbing in an FPS for awhile tbh. Probably thanks to Mirror's edge catalyst lol.
Yea I dig the philosophy, feels like they're focusing more on letting players feel empowered to do what they want to do, plus the Orbital map isn't as constrained as some of the recent BF maps have been. BF 2042 is on the right path for sure

Yeah. Just curious if we see it on more characters. As its linked as one of the two traits. But this is a passive one

I'm torn because the guns don't seem to recoil much, but then i remember that modern guns don't recoil that much, man i need to get hands on with this thing! I will say that the wall just appearing and having no build time just looks poor.

Its more this now
- Assault – Front-line soldiers
- Support – Player support characters, equivalent to Medic in Battlefield V
- Engineer – Tech support characters, equivalent to Support in Battlefield V
- Recon – Stealth characters
On one hand I wanna run around with Irish with that cool looking hoodie. But on the other hand, I can't ever see myself using that deployable cover lol.
Game looks gorgeous as expected, can't wait for beta.

Because people werent playing classes they were simply following weapons.
IF i wanted to use gun X i was forced to choose class Y but I dont give a shit about what class Y actually does.
Like this your loadout is how you want to play instead of shoehorning me into a role ill never fulfill cuz I know I just wanted to use LMGs
You guys realize they are playing on PC with a Mouse and Keyboard.
The editing got you and/or youve just never seen anyone play well with a mouse.
thats why I said either aim assist or good and snappy aim...
Sorry should have been clear. I know there's no restriction but just for consistencies sake Id rather, in at least name alone, for him to be classified as support.
Man, Battlefield is always so good with gun audio, and this one is clearly no different. I wish 343 was able to match the fullness of sound, it adds so much to the way a gun feels. Not to hate on what I saw from Infinite; there's a lot of good sound design there, but something about the UNSC weapons and explosions just sound muted and crunchy compared to Battlefield's full, powerful pop.

That's definitely better, I think BFV went overboard with center screen junk popping up. I hope they at least give me an option to minimize what I see.Can also do it like this.
Really hoping the kill feed changes too... The one in the Tech Alpha was really confusing to me, I couldn't tell who I killed or if I actually killed them.Hope they change the killfeed tho and its a placeholder. From reading online no one is liking it. I agree also.
Someone made a BF3 killfeed in 2042. Still looks good
Top: Kim-Soo (the female Korean Recon hacker from the No-Pat stories)
2nd: Irish
3rd: Rao (Indian Recon Hacker)
4th: Falck
How do you know that they are Kim-Soo and Rao? Have we seen pictures of these characters before?
Perhaps you can potentially add those restrictions back in player created content?
I completely forgot Michael K Williams was in Battlefield 4 and that this is him again as the same character.
looks like a cool game, generally speaking though I feel like a lot of battlefield matches devolve into a cluster fuck of grenades, tank shots, bombing runs and getting shot in the foot by someone that can somehow see you poking out behind rubble from an angle you couldn't possibly cover so I'm curious how all of this emphasis on abilities and equipment and tactical approach will really matter.
