Battlefield 2042 Dev Tracker

I see your point, and I think the crazy fov in the video definitely makes it feel rather extreme.

However, we did implement more penalties for the slide in this game. Not only is the slide getting weaker when getting spammed, we also apply additional penalties when sliding uphill or when sliding while turning around. We are continuously looking for the right balance and if it turns out to be too extreme we will tone it down in one of the patches. Due to the new implementation we now have way more control to tweak it however we want to.

Also keep in mind that this is an old build, we have done several changes to the system in the mean time and more tweaks are already in the pipeline.

Hey no worries. I understand that my reaction from back than can be interpreted as 'we keep everything and build on top' but that's not what I meant and also not what we were planning.

The reaction was based on the comparison between BFV's movement system and that from previous games. We were happy with the core movement mechanics of BFV. I mean stuff like ground detection, following the ground, moving over uneven terrain, vault detection, transitions between animations, stance transitions, cooldowns, etc. Stuff that made the movement feel smooth.

The mechanics that are mentioned above (prone on back, crouch sprinting, etc) were implemented specifically for the design direction of BFV back then, and didn't make it to this game for various reasons. Prone on back for example was abused a lot by campers and caused bad visibility, and crouch sprinting wasn't used enough to be worth the implementation and button mapping.

As this is a new game with a different dir...

I see we got a true bush pilot here!

you're welcome, it was quite the challenge figuring out the best way to do this without sacrificing the scope's looks, managed to find a way though!

Some of us do help out with the trailers though...

see if you're not unintentionally installed the gen4 version on gen5, these days consoles let you install previous gen versions very easily

I think that's fair, and yeah luckily we can tweak it pretty easily during live so if we find it happens way too often we can tone it down!

However I think it will be less of an issue when you are playing multiple maps, but again if we wanna tone it down etc we can :)

I think for the beta it's about 10% to happen, so fairly unlucky to not get it in 20 games :( but with that said, we have upped the % for the storm to happen for launch (and also improved timings overall so it won't happen too late in the round)

I used a library growing up, which had a PC that could be used. Libraries have only gotten better over the years. But it is a fair point you bring up.

The map is disabled for this Open Beta unfortunately but will be around for launch, as well as the ability to give squad orders/request heals, etc.

Thanks for helping out! - This is indeed the way to go, and will be fixed for launch <3.

Hi there, we are still tracking this as an issue - as shown within our Known Issues thread, a slight workaround for this might be - if you're using an Xbox Elite Controller, Xbox headset, or any peripheral plugged into the Xbox, try unplugging those and just use a standard controller - this may get you past this screen and then you can connect things back up again.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and I hope this helps your case!

This is already fixed up for launch, these are not your Specialists for Battlefield 2042 - they are just a small offering of soldiers that you'll be able to play as within Battlefield Portal, as shown within the Battlefield Portal reveal trailer.

Bit of an interesting visual bug, but nothing to be worried about!! 😊

known issue, already fixed but wasnt ready for beta

when you run out of ammo just keep hitting the detonator to cycle them

There are multiple out there. Hopefully next time the tank goes easy on you and can finish your listening. Thank you for the pleasant conversation.
