"Ripple Effect claims that the "Flick Stick" mechanic (which allows controller players to achieve an instant 180° turn in combat) was added into #Battlefield6 for a "balancing" reason when playing against mouse and keyboard players.
In a recent interview with Kotaku, Matthew Nickerson said "the inherent issue of including aim assist on controller [is that] you constantly are doing a big sweeping motion [while looking around], you're constantly going full speed, and then you hit the bubbles of aim assist, and it automatically slows down. So you're kind of constantly fighting these systems that are preventing you from quickly 180 turning.
"According to Nickerson, adding a quick flip option in #Battlefield6 was a "huge win" that solved a "lot of issues" in this particular case, and one more way to keep crossplay competitive for all."You know, you get shot in the back [and] it's frustrating to be a controller player those days."Another reason why Ripple Effect added this system was to add "more ways to interact with the game despite gamepads having far fewer buttons than a keyboard." - also in combination with PS5's gyro controls where Flick Stick can do some "really cool stuff.""If you want to reload [or turn around], maybe you just flick on your controller upright, and it activates the gyro, so it's like another new layer of customizability.""

I don't understand why KB&M support isnt more widespread on consoles? Does it require having to cough some cash up to sony or micropenis to allow games that have KB&M support for game companies even if it's single player only or is it a fear of console players whining about cheaters?

Input balance. A keyboard and mouse set up is more accurate compared to a controller's analog stick for aiming. Another contention for that is how strong aim assist can be for controller users to compensate.

Purely speculation but when I am playing a console, I am playing on my big TV in the living room on my couch. There isn't anywhere to comfortably put a KB&M. I don't personally know of anyone that plays consoles at a desk with a monitor.

Consoles have had Keyboard and Mouse support since the Xbox One and PS4. I had friends who would play COD with M&K. It's very game-dependent, though, in the current gen. PS5 will let a keyboard work but sometimes won't let a mouse work. While the Xbox doesn't care and will let both work.

Like Sex Haver said, Most people don't play their home console at a desk like a PC would, so a Keyboard and Mouse setup would be a bit inconvenient. Consoles are all about ease of use and convenience more than anything.

Some games on console support KB&M, but as the above said:

I was considering buying a USB keyboard for my console to type text messages or use chat. Then, I thought, this is cumbersome.

I imagine it’s tryhards that want console only lobbies while at the same time having an upper hand by using KB+M.
 
That sledge hammer being one strike to do damage is too strong. I did feel in the beta the destruction was too easily triggered. Everything just gets destroyed instantly.

Sledgehammer in Battlebit was op af. Turned the game into R6 Siege but Battlefield. Be happy that it makes a big hole instead of a pinhole.
 
From the jackfrags video today.
I'm not a fan of them making the map smaller. I can see why they would do it for a gameplay reason, but I do miss the maps being larger in scale, thereby promoting the use of vehicles (and not just tanks/IFVs) to get around.

It'll be because of the AA nerds who sit far away at the edges of the maps.

It was always good though to have the odd map where you literally could find the edge, far from everything and flank. Even if just by infinitry. Firestorm isn't the best example, but it still is just good to have more varity for places for combat. Places to go snipe or what have you.

Imagine what they'd do to Heavy Metal. Probably something like this.

Can anyone confirm this? I can't find proof of this for the life of me.

Do you have schizophrenia or are you deliberately trying to bait people because you're bored? I never said I was purchasing it anywhere in my post.
 
A big shoutout and thank you to Incel Inside™ for allowing me to get the game for free! Not only did I score the game, but the platinum one at that, plus the ubicrap Yasuke simulator where you play as the historically accurate™ nigga Yasuke, in his quest to kill Japs for some reason I don't really care about.
I returned the item I got for this, and I'm able to keep it the game keys still.

Saw some tweets earlier today of zoomers losing their shit over the movement nerfs. I'm glad the game is ruined for them.

Good, anyone who needs to have everything be the movement speed of a turbocharged NEXT (but not as cool) can get fucked. Tired of all the Adderall infused zoomzooms.

Could've just said that since that was the topic of the post, though giving money to EA within the last however many years is indeed retarded. But anyway, it's to be expected that some terminally online dev would shit on Charlie Kirk. The real question is, does EA care enough about bad optics from people who gravedance on Kirk? If so then expect a firing or two.
Also, I haven't kept up with this game at all because of the whole secure boot nonsense, what's woke about it? I assume it's the female operatives, though it can't be worse than...bionic women and female Nazi soldiers in 1939 to 1945, right?

From what's been seen thus far, it's not as bad. BFV was the worst for being disrespectful to the real-life soldiers. The only two concerns right now are the campaign potentially centring on a female character lead that could be any degrees of fagginess, or a class like the Engineer being locked into a female-only class. That being said, 2042 already did that too - Sundance was the only one that could use the wingsuit, and amidst the terrible launch it was apparently important to let everyone know that she was non-binary.
