DICE TeamThis patch brings many new bugs (as always), but at least as far as I am concerned, they are less annoying/frustrating than the old ones.
We played the whole evening yesterday and we had this 'just one more round' thing that and that was a first for BF2042 for us. But I guess most of this had to do with the fact that we only played the new modes (Infantry and old Conquest) that are now available via portal. And I must say, we most likely will not go back to normal AoW until the new maps are available in 'early' summer.
I would definitely like to see those modes not only accessible via Portal but at least the Infantry focused one as an option in the main menu. Maybe get rid of the 'Hazard Zone' button as this mode is not played by anyone anyway.
Performance was much better (except for the first minute after joining a match) and I gained overall about 10-20 FPS. Also, the mouse lag was NOTICEABLY lower. I'd even say on par with BF5. But most of this could be related to the match size as the new modes are 64 player only (the right size in my opinion).
What the game now desperately needs is new content, especially maps. I seriously hope that S1 in 'early' summer will not only bring the usual 4 new maps we get per DLC but maybe 6 or 8 (given the time the level designers will have had by then -- which is 8 months -- this is a reasonable expectation I'd say) along with some converted older fan favorites for Portal.
We will stick to the Infantry Portal mode for now I guess, as AoW on the old/bad maps is worse than BF5 (even with cheaters being more prominent in those older titles)
I have been a big supporter of this game from the start, never giving up hope that one day it will have all the bugs ironed out like the other games.
I'm playing on PC and it seems like with every new patch, comes new problems! Although i do find my performance (FPS) has increased by about 20 or so now since the patch, so what ever you did - Good job 👍
Sundance grenade belt changes are a big winner in my eyes - they work so much better now - Thanks 👍
Now for a couple of negative comments
1) Anybody else finding themselves getting stuck on nothing? It's like the there is an invisible wall there or something? has happened a few times on different maps.
2) The choppers (WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THESE)? They are even harder to shoot down now since the patch, with extended flares and I swear the flares regenerate even quicker now.
The skies are dominated by these things now and making it not much fun at all when you have players in the game getting 100+ kills in the Little-Bird. They really need to be nerfed big time and fast!
3) I get the "YOU GOT PROMOTED" symbol pop up after each round even though I'm still half way though that rank.
4) I use to always have the red dot site attached to the under barrel and use to have to turn it on when ever I needed it..... now I have to turn it OFF every time I respawn (is there an option to disable this from being on every time I respawn)?
