I prefer delayed than launched as an unmitigated disaster. That said, if it still launches as a disaster I will be upset and have egg on my face

I'm just expecting this and Infinite to be giant trash fires and will be a lesson in why lots of time and money aren't worth shit.

 

[Screamer]

So much for those rumors they planted a while ago about how far ahead of the normal schedule they were with the game.

Bear in mind that the same thing happened to Battlefield V, and it still came out in a busted state.

I want to be proven wrong here since I like Battlefield's gameplay style, but DICE doesn't fill me with confidence.

Have you seen how DICE reacted to the initial backlash to BFV?

I'd be shocked if they didn't jump through all the lockdown hoops other countries did to appear virtuous.

Funny I thought it would be pushed back all the way to 2022

It probably needs that but EA desperately needs holiday sales.

COVID is a lame excuse for 3 weeks of delay since EA has 4 or more studios working on the game.

My Ruth and Eva are kicking ass in V with the M1 Garand assault class!

I am getting better, but I cannot snipe for shit. Any Recon tips?

Try aiming at your enemies while avoiding getting shot. Works everytime.

Gee thanks!

I mean, how does sniping work in Battlefield? It's not hitscan like CoD or Halo.

Sometimes you gotta lead the shot if they're moving, and you may have to aim above them at long ranges.

Lead into them?

So, aim slightly above? There's something about "zeroing distance."

There should be a key you can press while aiming down sights that zeroes the distance of your scope (every time you press it it should say something like 100m, 200m, 300m, etc). That basically means that the direct center of your reticle is adjusted so the bullet bullet drop have the bullet land their, thus compensating for having to aim above people.

But yeah, BF doesn't do hitscan, fire some shots and learn to gauge the distance at which you can shoot people, how long the bullet takes to arrive and how far it drops from where you initially aimed.

How do you know how far you are? So, it aims for you? Like an aimbot?

You should've seen my face when I tried to snipe like CoD and the bullet didn't hit.

I can't tell if you're intentionally dense because I was a cunt, or this is flying right over your head.

 

[Marcus the Mong]

Why not start a real war?

 

[The Last Stand]

I'm serious. That's why I was asking about sniping.

 

[Dumpster dived waifu]

How do you know how far you are?

I don't know if BF1 or BFV have the option, but there might be a scope available with a range finder that will tell you the distance. Otherwise, it's guess work.

So, it aims for you? Like an aimbot?

No. If you want to fire a bullet far, you have to aim higher to compensate for the bullet drop. Zeroing will just adjust your scope so that you physically aim at the same place, but the gun is aimed up a bit higher to simulate you aiming higher.
