The range nerf on the turret is laughable. Renders it fricking useless.
This game is getting to the point where there is zero risk . And it feels to me like It’s all geared around players that want high k/d and zero threat, just player on player engagement where the youngest most agile players win.
The turret wasn’t an issue to deal with before. Now I put a turret down and it’s gone in three shots. Zero effort, no threat at all.
seriously, what’s the point in this game anymore if you can burp in any direction and stuff explodes.
they didn’t even nerf the see through walls feature. Which whilst handy, isn’t really needed.
Honestly, I seriously question the decision making process.
Just as squad controls in already along with persistent teams and continuous map rotations.
honestly I give up.
That's good. That thing and the entire idea about Boris in general sickens me and it is an extremely low skill and cheap tactic. Same applies to the Ranger, auto aim and wall hack by AI are not "fun" mechanics. They have no place in a PvP shooter at all. The entire playstyle of Boris focused on placing down the turret in a stupid spot and wait until someone showed up, how fun is that?
I’d argue that BF isn’t a PVP shooter, in that it isn’t supposed to be just about player on player shooting.
it’s about team play, strategy and over-coming the fact there are vehicles. bF has always been a combined arms game.
so the turret isn’t that much of an obstacle to over come, and if you want to run around Willy nilly without consequence and only want to engage with other players, then quite frankly BF isn’t the game for you.
if anything vehicles, turrets etc should be stronger. I.e a real threat to over come. Demanding team coordination. But with a longer cool down on when the vehicles could come back into play. .
unfortunatly it seems Dice have targeted a new audience for BF. That just want quick kills and vapid engagements.
Personally I don’t enjoy BF2042, and I’m forever in hope they’ll redirect the emphasis on play.
but I won’t hold my breath.
At this point I would revamp it into a manual deployable stationary gun
@mac167_pWell, it's area denial. What's the difference between doing that or placing an anti vehicle mine? This change definitely decreases the value of Boris and makes him less fun to play. It's going to shift many over to batgirl!
@mac167_pLots of other shooters have gaget's like turrets . They are a tactic used to defend points of interest.
They nerfed the turret so bad it's basically useless.
