Before even discussing it, just why? Who even asked for it? But back to the topic, Dice are once again adding something nobody asked for.By looking at the update, weapons will feel EVEN MORE sporadic in terms of recoil than they are at the moment. Not that long ago they fixed the issue of weapon sights flying off-center when firing, and now this change brings this exact issue back to us. That little M5A3 clip looks like sights are jumping all over the place, instead of staying centre screen.What is the point of that? And its not even high ROF weapon. With default barrel and ammo its 750 RPM. I can only imagine how AM40 and said M5A3 with short barrel is going to feel. LMGs too? Dude, LMGs are super lame as they are. Literally no point in using that weapon class, and now you're making it even worse, why?https://x.com/BrokenMachine/status/1765424701487124893?s=20

When I found out about this change, I thought it was clickbait.I've been a very vocal member of this discussion board about what I like and dislike about 2042.I have over 850 hours in 2042 spread equally across the infantry and vehicle facets of the game.Here's my thoughts on this change:I vehemently despise the visual recoil in Call of Duty, Please, out of everything to "borrow" from that franchise don't "borrow" that for Battlefield. If you're gonna "borrow" something from Call of Duty, "borrow" the proximity chat, at least for team mates so I can personally thank the medics for reviving me. Maybe even first person take downs, I feel like that would do WAY MORE for immersion than this.I don't want visual recoil in Battlefield if it's anything like it is in Call of Duty. For instance, if I shoot a gun, and the gun shakes all over the place obscuring the crosshair with the iron sight, scope or muzzle flash then I'm hanging up my dog tags.

It's really quite sad actually that stuff is getting added that no one asked for. That guy in the video sounds like the happiest he's ever been in his life 🤣Seriously, just give us a server browser and more maps.What's the best platform to reach these guys on? Has anyone ever gotten a response why they keep adding stuff no one is asking for and wasting time and effort with them.

My feedback to this upcoming change: 👎

@ATFGunrLonger TTK could've been easily added through normal recoil increase across the board. But of course, that would increase the skill ceiling which is something that every modern game is trying to avoid.Besides, TTK in this game is fine, it is the net code and data packs getting clustered into the same server refresh rate that is the problem.I don't see anyone complaining that they're killing people too fast. Its the opposite. People are complaining that it takes way too many bullet to kill someone.

I am no longer surprised; DICE is entirely out of touch with the game, with 0 content for over 5 months now in a "live service experience." To add insult to injury, it has been over 2 years since launch, and they HAVE NOT FIXED the fundamental issue with MOUSE INPUT. Actually it is beyond hilarious at this point.

Another pointless recoil change. | EA Forums

@UP_LordPlumber I don't see a super big difference to be quite honest. There's a bit more shaking... Might be more noticeable in gameplay?
I would've preferred their effort be spent elsewhere, like balancing the weapons and vehicles better instead of this. Unless they also do that, but I kinda doubt it.
There is plenty of point in using LMGs, you sacrifice being able to traversal sprint around every corner for high accuracy, ammo and damage, when they're not portal LMGs. The RPT is basically a SFAR with 200 bullets and no UGL.

The players that play with a low FOV will probably be affected the most by this change.
It'll be interesting to know what the FOV was set to in the linked video and also how higher magnification scopes will fare against iron sights and holo's. If this change applies to all sight attachments across the board, it'll further reduce the effectiveness of higher magnifications scopes at range when in full auto.

@S3SSioN_SoL But don't worry, it gets worse! According to Dice, visual recoil aka your red dot bouncing all over the screen, also reduces your weapon accuracy and adds more RNG into the gunsfights. Exactly what you would expect from a AAA FPS game. Random slot machine mechanic when shooting your weapon. Sounds awesome!

How is it that they thought this would be needed, it's already the sloppiest fps out there. It just boggles the mind!

@UP_LordPlumber Just throwing it out there, aside from it sucking for the shooter, the greater spread might contribute to a longer TTK. Haven’t we all complained about getting lasererd by everything in the game? Boom you’re dead? I do think it’ll give consoles a boost due to the reduced recoil they have, and that might end up as an issue for PC, time will tell. I’m hoping we can adapt and end up with a little bit longer TTD at the same time. It’s probably gonna suck overall, but for a change I’m trying to be positive.

When you can't balance mechanics, change the visuals.

This is going to wreck the game even more. Why would you change something like this so late in the game?
