A gun V-Recoil related bug/issue that existed since beta has been uncovered

I do not know if anyone else had a feeling that something was a bit off about the handling of guns in 2042 but I finally managed to find something that explains it in a couple of videos I saw on Youtube.

As the first video explains, that it is less of a mouse input issue and that there is a like a "wall of vertical recoil" that one needs to overcome each time they fire a weapon on full auto in 2042, which was not like that in older titles.

Part 1: The issue explained

Battlefield 2042's Recoil Might Be Broken..... - YouTube\

Part 2: Some extra info + DICE confirmation + victory parade (Warning, this second one contains some use of the F word and other gamer slurs)

DICE CONFIRMS Battlefield 2042's Recoil Is BROKEN..... Since the BETA - YouTube

I did not saw any discussion about this issue and so I wanted to spread the word.

  • @UP_Hawxxeye the issue has been discussed ad infintum in the forums...
    we as players were under the impression its the input issue and complained about that since the start of the game...
    the fact that the issue was soemthing else and until Baranox found it out because he couldn't acept a game beign this poorly designed speaks volumes of his understanding of game mechanics....
    i just hope that DICE can now finally adress this issue....

    I hope Dice fix the issue AND look back at what they did.

    When i read last patch note and see: Improved: "Aim Assist functionality when fighting vertical recoil" , i feel abandoned by Dice as a K&M user...

    And they did the same on several patches arlready.

    If they "improved" aim assist to compensate a bug i hope they'll pull it back when the bug will be corrected or BF will be dead for M&K

    Crossplay worked fine in BF1 and BFV, i hope Dice will restore this by looking back to previous modifications ingame, made to hide/compensate the bug.

    Dice before the game releases:  "We know recoil is bugged and hope no one notices it."

    Dice on 11/29/2022: "Well damn!'

  • @UP_HawxxeyeI’ve always said the weapons fight the users as much as the enemy. The recoil is odd, especially the PKP. I never considered it a bug, just bad design. A bug means they might be able to fix it which would be great. Thanks for the share Hawxxeye!
