Been playing battlefield 2042 for a week now and am becoming abundantly sick of campers both assault players lying off point and vehicle huggers who blatantly without vehicles are poor.......Used to love this franchise but it's getting harder to pick up the controller and play...does any one know any servers that don't have campers...or should I give up

@c6d3ebb723bdb4a0Many people don't play the objective, that playstyle needs to be built into the game at the beginning. This Battle Royal style of gameplay does not translate well into PTO. They have released classes now which help with PTO but you still see to many playing outside the objective farming kills.So my answer is no it is still a camp fest of a game.

@c6d3ebb723bdb4a0 Campers have existed in every Battlefield game since I first played 1942. Although I haven’t played many other multiplayer games except the BF series, I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that campers exist in every single multiplayer game. Unless you stop playing multiplayer games, I think you’re stuck with them like the rest of us. I love to PTFO, sometimes though you find the right spot and have the right gun for that moment… and I’ll camp the love right out of it. Sometimes ya can’t help it man 😉

I think a part of the camping problem is that the game has become too deadly and uncontrollable.The gun-play is way too easy and you can kill people with almost all weapons, at extreme distances. Killing people at 50+ meters in older titles is not nearly as easy as in 2042 (except with DMR/Snipers).The gun-play combined with the increased player-count, more vehicles in general and the bad map-design, makes any kind of movement around the map much more deadly than in earlier games.

@c6d3ebb723bdb4a0 Camping has been a big problem in BF5 and now BF2042. Previous games also had camers, but to much lesser extent.In BF5 Dice gave campers too many overpowered tools. Mines, MMGs, AMRs, OP shotguns and such.2042 people camp because (I'm about to offend pretty much everyone) almost everyone is bad at this video game.With so many kids crying and complaining that the're getting killed from hundreds of meters away by a pistol, someone turning around and killing them even though they unloaded 50 rounds into them and such. So instead of actually getting better, people nowadays prefer to just give up and camp in a corner. And since there are twice as many people, sitting in a corner somewhere around hot spot pretty much guarantees someone will pass you by every 30 seconds.Also the fact that you can have an insane amount of spotting devices doesn't help. Someone can be sitting in a bush with a 100 meter radius under the radar with TUGs, motion ball, drone or X6

Your dedication to this game is of such note that I really do think that EA should recognise it in some way.The game you describe in your many posts is one that I really would like to experience and at a guess many others would as well, you are very lucky to have such a unique personal experience yourself, to the point where pretty much everyone but you is bad at this game (apologies if I offended you).The only thing that I can think exceeds your dedication to this game is your inability to accept the reality of many other players, the blatantly obvious failures of this game that can be found documented in youtube videos and the spectrum of Internet forums and your rejection of anything remotely negative that is based in fact.Being able to reject the reality of getting killed from hundreds of meters away by a pistol, someone turning around and killing them even though they unloaded 50 rounds into them and such is an outstanding skill that I would suggest that you are probably world leader material, only since about 2016 though mind.

Battlefield - worth the time or to many campers

We need more smoke launcher usage to break line of sight.

Smoke doesn't stop vehicles the simply spam it with rocket fire negating it's use.

I play Breakthrough and TDM and haven't had that be a big issue.

@c6d3ebb723bdb4a0I'd say... there are too many vehicle campers. As long as DICE doesnt balance the vehicle-inf meta, things stay bad. Especially for 64 player modes. The superhind is superbad, but a sweat in the nightbird can ruin the server. It cant be stopped, unless there's a TOR tank to catch him by surprise or a ramming jet. That's the only counter.
(TOR tank is also problematic, but doesnt shamelessly farm infantry like the nightbird can)

@DaMutha1 Agreed breakthrough is good I enjoy it still a few who sit on the outer reaches of the map but compared to conquest it's a godsend

@ATFGunr I agree if you find a good spot but this is literally lying in the middle of the floor where you simply wait for troops possibly coming past..hell when I snipe if I find a nice spot I sit until discovered if their are enemies but these guys are literally sitting in front of a spawn at some point. Spawn camping is a massive no no unless you relate as a tool and have zero skills

@UP_LordPlumber Yeah people deffo don't want to improve....it's like oh here is an overpowered kit let's camp in a corner...though the EOD bot is good for sorting them I have noticed
