Man 2042 got be so hyped that I went back from more or less only playing R6S to playing some battlefield 4. The random spray recoil patterns are so unbelievably frustrating. Knowing my sight in on target but my shots not hitting is absolutely rage inducing... I get its a lot more work to design specific recoil patterns for every gun in the game, but even COD has it. This isn't CS:GO, this isn't Valorant, please for the love of god don't take the easy lazy way out by just using a generic spray diamond that gets bigger the longer you fire. For me at lease, this would single handedly ruin my experience in the game. Thank you for attending my TED Talk. EDIT: added infographic for explanation. (CM: Edited thread title)

Much prefer BF4/1 gun mechanics, sue me.

As long as the bullets go where the gun is pointed. So no RBD like BF1.

I do certainly hope they take the Battlefield 5 approach to weapon control where bullets go where your gun is aiming. I've tried going back to Battlefield 4 but the randomness is incredibly unsatisfying.

@Neovisi0n Skill cap?Is trigger control not a 'skill'?Is mitigating spread mechanics not a 'skill'?If not, why are they less of a 'skill' than pulling down slightly on a stick, an action that is arguably easier with a mouse?

@ninjapenquinukman, they just need to make the bullets go where the reticle is... my bullets don't come out of the gun at an angle, so I don't why only some of my bullets hit when im lasering someone center of mass with the AEK from 10ft away...

@Rev0verDrive BF4 then that would be correct but BF1 had bullets spawn near barrel's end. It lead to bullets that could be fired from off centre in BFV.

BF4 introduced zeroing to BF. Depend on which BF and weapons the distances.

@Neovisi0n Agree 100%

The thing is that the viewkick system alone has it's limits in creating natural and realistic recoil patterns. Often leads to very linear laser-like patterns when no rng is used.
Also a fixed reticle gives a very unreal experience, because that's just not how it works irl, the reticle is not glued to your eyeballs.
I feel both technique's (viewkick + visual recoil) are necessary to create a balanced and more authentic gunplay experience.

Also RB6 recoil looks very gamey and dated tbh.

@Neovisi0n Hopefully not the pain is real, I'm guessing they got it since they have been working on it for 5 years.

@Neovisi0n Yea literally been raging the last hour bc of this. The crazy thing is I’m controlling the recoil pretty good and my retical is on the enemy but my bullets are going * who know where. Ik they were trying to add another element to the game when it comes to leading your shots but the bullet velocity is unrealistically exaggerated where every guns velocity is way too slow. Hopefully bf2042 is like BF5 in that sense bc it’s way more realistic and enjoyable

I preferred BF4 / BF1 gunplay and did not like BFV gunplay. Seemed it had a negative effect on gameplay where many became stationary and did not play objectives.
With 3 x zoom it felt like a semi sniper light hardcore game where it became an advantage not to move.
That's just my opinion. There`s nothing right or wrong, but only what each one prefers imo.
