Re: Please ad leaning in BF 2042

Leaning will make defenders much harder to push against and it will also further exacerbate the difference in precision between controller and mouse. This isn't meant to be a hardcore game.

This is not a tactical game, it is a sandbox arcade game that can be played in a tactical manner to great success. Don't push it too far in any direction. Battlefield does best as the middle ground.

I don't even want to imagine how rough it will be to push into a flag as infantry with defenders that have DMR's leaning around every corner. It will be a Sundance buff too because we're desperately going to need their scatters to make people stop leaning. That means she's going to be picked even more and I'm already bored of how common she is. 

Sundance was nerfed already, and it was a good nerf, we just need buffs to other operators so we stop seeing her so much. And leaning will absolutely make Sundance even more mandatory when pushing interiors.

If you add leaning, you will significantly slow down the pace of the game because everyone will have to check every corner carefully or die because they didn't notice an arm and a head that was aiming at them. Also imagine how insanely difficult it's going to be to notice who's shooting at you out in the open if they have no scope glint and they're leaning out of a rock. The game is going to slow to a crawl.

    Ahh, you get the point. Maybe BF2042 needs to return to some of the Battlefield basics, instead of promoting COD Jump and Run Shooting Styles.

    The Classic Ruleset fans and the Hardcore Ruleset fans know what I am talking about.

    If you want to "fix" Sundance, and grenade spam, just add friendly fire to the mix.

    @llllKylo_Renllll Leaning and peeking exists in almost all previous BF games. Your premise that “the game is going to slow to a crawl” is unequivocally proven 100% false.

    @Zhukov211 Was just go to say same thing. Leaning still exposes the player and you can still be killed. In some ways, even easier as the upper body and head are what’s visible so that’s what gets aimed at. Leaning only really covers your legs, and even that isn’t 100%. It’s not sticking only the rifle around the corner so you can spray and pray lol

    @kregora The fact that there is no friendly fire is what made the game as mindless as it is for the pleb masses to play it.

    Last BF game i played was 4. I only purchased 2042 hoping it will have elements of gameplay from previous editions.  I was mostly interested in hardcore mode and destruction. 2042 is a big disappointment for me it seems like giant step backwards from core of bf games. To me it seems like a mix between fortnite and rainbow six.

    Bro what leaning been in all the past battlefield games where you come from this isnt  tactical game??? It's very helpful when you are going up against tough resistance.
