Commorose

Based on the video demoing the commorose, I have some feedback to Devs.

Communication should not prevent other basic simultaneous activity, like walking/running/crawling. for the PlusMenu, that is fine as you "would be" focusing on finding the right attachment and attaching it, but for the comms, those are replacement for vocal commands and communication for those unable to use VoIP, and should be as quick and fluent as possible.

Not too sure about the block design of the comm tiles, as the ones in the middle are much easier to reach than those in the corners.

Have they considered a hexagon format for these? Perhaps this is related to working better to gamepads?

@TrasteTh I get what you're saying but the Commrose layout has been different in some aspect in just about every Battlefield game and players adjusted. I have no doubt they will do the same here and who knows, maybe they will implement a config option or make adjustments to it based on feedback once the game is out.

@Trokey66 I do agree with you, at least for the first level commands/responses, in BF5 by reflex i send off a "thank you" in response to a revive barely even noticing it, so i don't really doubt that.
I just get a feeling that this is a bit more "clunky" to navigate. Maybe it is just the way they are demonstrating it in the video, which obviously is not a stuck-under-enemy-fire-without-ammo type of situation.

@ragnarok013 IF I was part of any tech play test, I certainly did not notice any commorose there, allegedly.

@TrasteTh It may be, but like everything else, until we can use it in anger, who knows?

While either the Technical Playtest or the Beta would have provided a nice test bed for the commrose, it wasn't available.
So it's not you 😇

If you really looked, you could see it under the carrier.
Or so I've heard.

@Fringerunner as a matter of ... allegedly I may have been under there a large number of times, but did not see it.

I'm sure everyone will adapt to it very easily once they get to actually use it

@xxxC🤭lBr33zExxx Well adaption is not the same as getting an optimized experience. Anyone persistent enough can adapt to playing on VGA resolution, but It is hardly what one would ask for today. (ok maybe not a fair stretch, but you get my point)

With so many players already used to the commorose in the BF5/BF1 titles, it may be a cause of frustration as it fixes a problem that did not exist, and could "easily" be made a config option, to suit different input devices.

All very understandable @carsono311 ,
It is a human condition called "Dissociative Amnesia".
Dissociative amnesia was formerly called psychogenic amnesia. It occurs when a person blocks out certain information associated with a stressful or traumatic event, leaving the person unable to remember. 😋
