I don't even think Hardline was included in the 120fps upgrades. Just 4, 1, and 5. Don't need cop porn, lol.

Battlefield V |OT2| Empire of the Soon
- Thread starter iRAWRasaurus
- Start date
Episodes in BF1 use real life battles and events as basis for those episodes, but in V DICE just made it all up even when they try to sell it as having basis in real events. It's what they were critiqued for about V, among many other things. Consensus seemed to be at the end that 1 had better story content overall.
Well BFV's missions were based on historical events/battles, but they didn't give a damn about getting some of them right. For example, Nordlys was based on the Norwegian heavy water sabotage, but instead of basing it around the actual history of the event, they swapped out the actual Norwegian commandos who sabotaged the plant in 1943 with a more human story rooted in the Norwegian resistance movement. While the Norwegian resistance did aid in sabotaging the plant earlier in the war, Dice mashed together different elements of history to get the story they wanted to tell. I think that holds true for a lot of the more character-driven stories in BFV.
So battlefield V is probably the most disappointing game I played all last gen. Especially in how Dice mishandled like everything. With that said, upon playing Enlisted which is now out. I can appreciate how good bfv controls and feels to shoot guns compared to enlisted. Enlisted controls like utter trash.
The controls and movement in BFV I actually think was best in the series. Attrition system was also nice. Everything else was a huge step back from BF1.
BF3 had by far the best campaign IMO. BF4 was the worst of the bunch. You spend almost half of the campaign running around the same exact aircraft carrier. BF1 was boring but better than 4 due to just not having the same mission repeated multiple times. I didnt even bother playing the campaign in BFV
How is the state of BF1 PC MP these days?
If steam reviews are any indications ~ it is a hacker riddled hellhole.

I installed it last year to see if anything changed and joined the oceanic servers. I saw:
- 3 hackers flying and invisible (Can only see the gun)
- Shooting through geometry
- Lock on/wall hacks
- One had full rage mode (Full headshots from anywhere on the map firing full auto with the Lewis gun)
BFV isn't much better and I doubt EA give a shit. They promised to have anti-cheat and failed.
Can't wait for people on here to flag me and say "I just suck" like last time.
The content for the game was poorly planned and executed, to put it nicely. I adored the gameplay, which is the most important thing, but everything around it was a disaster.
unless you can find an actively administrated server it's pretty crazy for hackers...superspeed invisible aimbots calling in bombardments every minute or so.
Anyone want to squad up?
Ohm y god yes. If you want the tank, drive it. Dont just sit at spawn "sniping people". We literally had two guys finish like 17/18th on our team's leaderboard cause they sat back with tanks and didn't push ever.

Loaded V up again, this one is always weird to me. Like it's odd that I feel like I have so much trouble seeing enemies, every enemy model looks so small or something. Also the TTK is insanely fast now? It's just one or two shot kills constantly, wtf
It just feels like spawn die, spawn die, it's such a weird feeling BF. 4 and 1 I can load and enjoy but theres something weird that I can't figure out about 5

The game is brimming with cheaters which will make the TTK seem faster. Also invisible enemies, tanks and planes are still very much a thing. And ya visibility is still awful.
Ugh, I agree. Given how vehicle spawns work it just means basically no tanks for that team. They sit there spamming the main gun, never hit anything, are in no danger of taking any damage and basically set you on a path to losing. I assume it's just people protecting their k/d, as if that mattered.
Also irritating are tank drivers who don't take any notice of where the internal machine gun is pointing for the secondary gunners. There is zero point being the top gunner, you'll get sniped within a few seconds of standing there with your head out, so the internal machine gun is the only viable option and so many tank drivers park the tank with the gun facing the wrong way, or angled into the ground or up in the sky, or nose into a wall or something, ensuring the gun is useless.
Weird, I have never had an issue spotting enemies, but people bring it up so much. Then again I have played tonnes of Muslims and probably got used to picking out silhouettes and shapes.
Dunno something about the graphics and size of players feels different in V and I always seem to struggle to see folks where as in 1 and 4 it feels like the players come off bigger and more visible at all times. It's weird
I have the Battlefield itch and feel like playing BFV but hearing that its riddled with cheaters just puts me off. Guess I will just wait till October.
Just need to vent that the Germans on Twisted Steel are completely fucked compared to the Americans. Incredibly shitty AA turrets/vehicle, terrible base spawns and resupply points that are so fucking far from each other. Truly fucking awful.
All the base maps in that game are awkward and/or bad imo. Never was a fan of Twisted Steel and that was certainly a reason
Yeah it's becoming more apparent that the best Strategic Conquest maps are the Pacific ones and I'm probably just going to search for those alone going forward.
I play exclusively on the pacific maps. The base maps except a couple are not well designed, while the pacific are some of the best maps in any BF game.
I only use the Strategic Conquest playlist (large maps with vehicles). i think that's a pretty good rotation (except Aerodrome which can be a nightmare if some teammates are tank camping in your spawn and never push for the objectives...) : Iwo Jima>Wake Island>Pacific Storm>Solomon Islands>Twisted Steel>Panzerstorm>Provence>Al Sundan>Hamada>Aerodrome
Ok so I am sharing Gamepass on Xbox with a friend and we can play Battlefield 1 together no problem. However, when we try to play Battlefield V it says he can't access the multiplayer because the game thinks he is a "trial member". Any ideas? BF1 and BFV should both be accessed the same way through EA Play, right?
Welp, hopped back into this because I was missing some Battlefield fun and it was nearly impossible to play. Had cheaters in every lobby. And no, they weren't just "good players." 100+ - 0 KDs, indestructible vehicles, perfect aim, name spoofing, etc. Man, I was super excited to play this, too. :/

This is why the new found praise for this game is funny to me. BFV still has a myriad of issues, it's just because it's not 2042 that's it's back in the conversation.
Not even just that, but if people hated the openness of BF2042, I don't think that the "find the pixel that represents a prone soldier in dark cover" gameplay of V is going to be a satisfying pivot.
I had forgotten about that. Time to go cry in the shower I suppose.
I haven't played V for like a year now, but in my experience both problem are very different on how they impact their respective game.
I probably died on average a couple times per round feeling like it was because of the lack of readability ( people prone on their back you wouldn't differentiate from the ground ), knowing the flow of the map wasn't really hard and made a huge difference in how engagements played out.
In comparison it feels like half of my death in 2042 come from people I never expected because of how chaotic it is.
In battlefield V I know where the danger is, I might not easily see it, but I can.. mostly... have control over it. In 2042 the danger is like a 360° dome, it's impossible to control because it comes from everywhere for multiple reason ( lack of cover, amount of spotting, extreme maneuverability of specialist like Sundance who can pretty much ignore any notion of frontline, ... ).
The game is perfectly playable on consoles. That's why bf2042 crossplay sucks and consoles should be kept separate from pc.
I would like to upgrade to definitive edt, but there seems to be problematic, i bought the game on release so i want to spend as little as possible :)
On psn it doesent allow me to upgrade now, its on sale, but that dont work. I think the only way is ingame, normally its 3000 bc, but i have read that its sometimes on sale for 1000 bc ingame.
So, my question of anyone knows; does go on sale in game often to, and how will i know when? Only way to boot up the game now and then?

Little bump in case it might interest some people :

FINALLY a fucking anti-cheat for this game. (yes i still play it from time to time, it's still one of the best Battlefield there is for me)

Glad to hear it. I popped back into the game this weekend and cheaters just made me give up after about 20-30 minutes of trying to find a cheater free server.
I still jump in every couple of months, usually enjoy the matches that don't have a cheater, so that's good. At this point, outside of the cheaters, most people left playing are just those who want to chill and play, so usually the matches are pretty good and have good squadplay. It has it's flaws but I still enjoy the pace and design goals of the game more than BF1 or 2042.
That's good, I used to play BFV for a bit on PC when I was waiting for 2042 and the cheating problem was crazy. All it would take was one cheater, and suddenly a decent server would empty out immediately. It wasn't just aimbot too, I remember a Metro server that had someone using a speed hack and they were just zipping around the map
Might reinstall for a few matches once added

I guess that means no more occasional games of BFV for me.
A shame, because it has worked great for years on Linux via Proton.
I guess this reveals a fundamental problem with Valve's approach to the Steam Deck too, they can update Proton to make thousands of games work on Linux that were never officially supported by the developers. But if the developer comes in later with a patch for kernel-level anti-cheat there's nothing you can do, you can't really ask for a refund, as the platform you were playing on never officially supported the game anyway.

Yep, aimbots and speedhacks are the classic ones. But there's more. Sometimes they just "force" redeployment mid match. Like say you're in the middle of a fight and then, suddenly, all players from both sides are forced to spawn back.
It can apparently also be just for one side but i've only experienced for everyone. Latest one i had was on Pacific Storm Breakthrough, the attackers had trouble breaching the first sector and at some point, each time an attacker tank was about to be destroyed, the entire map wiped. I guess the hacker wanted to kill people with his tank but was frustrated we where too good at hunting him. But the issue he didn't took into account is that attacking tanks where left in place on deployement, so each time he wiped us out, defendants had more armor to defend even better.
one good way around this (well, if you have servers available) is to only use community servers. they are free of cheaters mostly and have some admin intervention. the official servers you get into when just match making without using the server browser are legit unplayable, unless you specifically can play during times when (eastern) china is asleep and then its still not exactly great.
While the anti cheat breaking linux support sucks, its worth it if it means the game becomes enjoyable again for 99% of the playerbase.
In 20 years of playing BF i have never seen anything REMOTELY close to how absolutely fucked the cheating situation on PC is and has been for months/years at this point.
