Such a terrible experience - first 30 seconds of the game needs a big overhaul

So as a new player you go to join the server via the quick join process, because of course there is no server browser(you know, "legacy feature" and all)

You get into your first game, and as some of you know sometimes that will literally be at the end of a game

so then it backs you out so you can join another server...makes perfect sense, not.

So now it searches for a different server/new game

Lets say you get lucky and actually get into a NEW game

If you are infantry you are pretty much screwed because if you don't want to get into a vehicle you are on foot from the start(with no exceptions, you get your 20 seconds and then it plops you in ready or not) in a game with 64 players on each team

Because theres no way to hop in as a passenger on any of the vehicle...makes perfect sense, lol

So now your running to your first objective only to get murdered by a little bird because you are running in a big open field because map design is broken or kamakazi jet because game design is broken and you have 50 guys on foot all in the exact same place at the beginning of a match

Thats literally the first 30 seconds.  Sure gun play is getting better but that first 30 seconds of the game needs a big overhaul, maps need more cover and we need an option to not only spawn in as a passenger on vehicles we need the option to spawn in at all...maybe we are adjusting our attachments or loadout on the fly and sometimes it takes more than 20 seconds to do so.  For the love of god please start fixing this crap.  I wanted to love the new modern shooter BF4 but it is just a mess and a poor experience.

  • TBF its just like when you run the german bomber in BF5 on narvik on conquest, you just fly over A as the germans and then drop everything A flag house and get 20 kills lol 

    Kamakaize jets though....that hurts. Complete waste of a jet spawn especially when we cant even see the scoreboard because feELinGs

    Not the same. Not even close.  And if you don't see that I'm not going to explain it to you.

    My other pet hate at the start of a round is the vehicle carnage when team mates seem intent on destroying one another. The vehicles seem to be placed so close together that it is hard to avoid the Whacky Races mayhem that seems to happen every round. 

  • @foff667 I like the game but sadly i have to agree with all of this. This is why you see many people standing still at the beginning. Nobody wants to run for 5 minutes. They join in later after a snack and respawn. Can we
    have more ATVs scattered around the map or operate the many empty vehicles laying around?
  • I got deja vu ;  Aerodrome-style ; as I was reading this thread .

    No-cover  'Aerodrome 1' was unplayable until they added more .

    It's very likely that threads like this got us a playable 'Aerodrome 2' . 

    🤞

    @tempo_rarity I didn't buy BFV until it went down to like $15 as I knew it was not a game I wanted to waste much energy on after playing the beta(probably early 2020) so I didn't get to play an Aerodrome1, but the current Aerodrome is one of my favorite maps, if you want that CQC combat you go to the hanger, if you want medium range go to one of the other flags, pretty good tank play map and no planes to worry about. Problem is almost all of the current maps have a huge lack of accessible cover.
  • The problem with current BFV maps is that there's cheaters everywhere.

    Once EA has bled that money well dry they abandon the game and then cheaters overrun everything.

    This is not so much a problem on console but on PC its horrible.. You can always tell who the cheaters are too.. Always low level(under 50) and they always stay for one match before leaving.(I guess the old anti cheat features will catch them if they stay for multiple games.)

    The game is almost unplayable now due to the infestation of kids downloading cheats/mods.

    This happened with Star Wars Battlefront(The new one not the early 2000s one).. They abandoned it and it became overrun with cheaters and now nobody plays it. It was a GREAT game.
