Off subject, and people may disagree with this. Still, after seeing gameplay and playing the beta myself, I think when you hit a support or transport vehicle that has an open gunner turret with a missile, the turret operator and maybe driver should be knocked off track for a second. I always thought that cause it's pretty crazy that a lightweight support vehicle is in no way slowed down when hit by a missile. I dismounted on a route clearance package in Afghanistan. I rode in an MRAP (Mine resistant ambush protected) VIC called the Buffalo, and we were hit by a RPG one time that blew off the front tire and disabled the engine (A RPG is a shaped charge hints why it went through the engine block), and it rattled are ass around in the back. The Buffalo is not a pushover either it is probably one of the top MRAPs in the world. Just a thought tho.

Those are the critical hits which both BF4 and V had , it slowed down your vehicle both ground and aerial .

Bro... You telling us that lack of customizations in BF1 - just to remind, a World War 1 set game, where during that time, almost every single weapon was an experimental - was a bad thing? Yeah, let's add a holo sights, underbarrel GL, grips and other stuffs... Good idea... Go play CoD Vanguard and come back when you'll change your mind... Going back to BF2042 - this feature (and especially the statistics and overall in-game info) is hella broken right now with the attachments. It's nice that it is simple and not overly extended (because CoD:MW did show us, how having that many ways to modify a gun can make a game breaking meta), but at the same time, The Plus system literally makes no sense in terms of not only being realistic (which TBH is the smallest problem here), but also turns off almost all types of Pros/Cons of using specific weapon builds (you can go from long range to a CQC combat like nothing), making full focus on weapons by their basic stats (which are hidden for no reason). About your video... Well... Basically all that you say is pretty much what Devs says about their game, so nothing new really...

[@soksocks]

Tbh the customization for weapons should've been like WW3, Tarkov and at least MW2019. From that point on, that's how most FPS games should do since it gives nice liberties to what you like and prefer on your gun, even if it's cosmetic also. I wanted BF to go all out with the weapons but we got more of a Crysis/Warfrace system, which in all is fine because I liked those games

It just sucks). Battlefield 1's menu were so poorly designed 'cause it got designed with this "Battlefield hub" idea in mind but that was also dropped in the process.

I gotta say I'm pretty dissapointed. Bf weapon modding, gunplay and destructability of its environments were the reason I was so into battlefield as a series. But those system haven't grown much since bf3. Back then you had cod mw 2, bf3 and Blacklight retribution a year after. Which invented the gunsmith system and let you customise not just the 4 gadgets, but to completely change your weapon into something different. The only solid part was your receiver, anything else was fair game, you had 20 or so of different muzzle brakes or suppressors, "barrels" by which the game understood everything between the receiver and a muzzle (this meant you could exchange M4-like RIS grip with some AK front grip, barrel and gas block and all). Then came the sights, mags, camo and stocks. I won't even mention charms because it was always painfull to see charms put on guns, but even they changed some stats, usually by either 1% increase to something. Point being, as someone who comes from Blacklight, only Cod Warzone has ever came close to the level of customization Blacklight offered, but was still much less mind you, and didn't have the armor customization for your soldier (boots and leg armor, chest armor, helmets, camo and trophy display). So it really bugs me to see bf - (my preffered series but have played both) lagging behind and not improving anything since 2009. And I know Dice is aware of Blacklight as one of the new operators has a copy paste ability to scan the environment for enemies through walls, but unlike giving this ability to everyone like Blacklight did, it only gives it to one operator? Where's your balance, game? In short, Im glad we can change something in our gun again, but it pains me to see no game has yet to beat Blacklight's weapon customization from 2012. And a shame this years bf is not contesting cod in this regard. Im not sad, just dissapointed.

It limits creativity and doesn't let you get used to the weapon by constantly taking it away, or locking it behind quests or flea market.

It is still massively extensive compared to bf right now and I really want to be able to do whatever I want to my gun in battlefield and I think they could do it and do it better than modern warfare or current cod, I mean I like their plus system brought out from the Crysis games, but with that being said, I still think that they should do what infinity ward could not and bring more to the table.

[@Akovor_]

Great step in the right direction. If you're part of the minority that likes specialists, like me, then this is shaping up to be a very strong Battlefield

[@THEME-SICKLE]

I don't mind specialists, what I do mind is the free gadgets for everyone, and I'm sure a significant amount of players won't run ammo or health. It'd be better if they locked gadgets to the certain "classes."

[@JordanPCox]

The plus system is yet another step away from the squad play dynamic that makes Battlefield great. I am not a fan. This combined with the amount of information available on-screen, and any specialist role being able to pick any gadget is a clear indication that squad play is no longer an element of Battlefield. Squad mates are just spawn points. I understand I may be in the minority for wanting a more hardcore, visceral experience though. If they would at least lock gadgets to each specialist role then I'd be content. Why the hell do you even bother to mention that Boris is an Engineer if "Engineer" means absolutely nothing?

[@oli2173]

Pseudointellectual

[@caprise-music6722]

Indeed. Like imo the plus system would be excellent for swapping shotgun ammo bucks to slugs, certain rifle ammo, maybe some grips etc.. but to me it’s just way too silly and far from reality to swap an optic in less then a second. It just feels ridiculous. If it took like 2 minutes I would be more onboard

[@sinant.3779]

[@exorruination]

I really wish they'd just remove the plus system icon from the HUD. It's completely unnecessary information to see on the HUD at all. I like the system itself, but the firing mode of your gun is way more important to see at all times. Not just while ADSing. This actually got me killed a fair amount during the beta.

[@henryattfield8979]

I liked the warbonds challenge unlocks just get me furious

[@Resistantkillers]

I liked the + system but I reckon going to be annoying when your fighting someone and swap out a grenade launcher or become inaccurate to extremely accurate in a second maybe some sort longer animation might be a fix to swapping out like 5-10 seconds rather than instantly .

[@jeriah4k218]

If you change your ammo type they should make ur player put the new magazine in the gun so you can’t just automatically reload

[@JZStudiosonline]

Ah, the ol BF4 system where random things randomly effect other things for no reason. Why would an extended barrel reduce ROF?

[@B_C1109]

It is because of the propellant, needing a bit of a longer burn to compensate for barrel and velocity changes. Either that, or a heavier bullet is used.

[@JZStudiosonline]

@@B_C1109 That doesn't make any sense and actively ignores the laws of physics. Not to mention the cyclical rate of the weapon itself is not affected by that even it was true.

I'm still disappointed in the customization... like it's a bit lackluster, I 100% prefer the Moder Warfare 2019 gunsmith customization, it's kinda cool when you can take a gun and "transform" into something else, but idk, that's just me, I would have loved to mix and match barrels, suppressors, grips, sights, mags and stocks, still excited for the game nonetheless

[@andrewengel3023]

One thing that bothered me about the plus system on console is that the emblem looks like a D-Pad, but you control it with your buttons? it took me several rounds to figure out how to use it

[@Juel92]

I don't mind the plus system but I would like to see a bit of switching time for when you switch attachments/ammo and also maybe some kind of bonus for taking less attachments.

[@raininginside]

Do you show up on the minimap when firing your weapon in the beta?

[@brunomartinello1114]

At first i thought that the shield ricocheting bullets back was very bad... But watching this video and seeing the shield being used again made me think a little bit about it. I realized that this new "ricochet feature" added to the shield is quite interesting. I mean, we were complaining about it, but how difficult it is to learn that you must not shoot at enemy shields from short to medium distances? But try to shoot their feet or, if they crouch, shoot them when they expose themselves to shoot you, or use explosives if you have it... If you dont have explosives, and player using the shield is very good, and is causing damage to you while making it too difficult to hit him, you have to be smart enough to understand that you're in a duel that you should avoid until one or more friendly players arrive to help you kill that specific player. The fact that the shield ricochet rounds back kinda transformed the duels against shields in "chess" situations... You have to think before you act, and imo this way duels get a lot more tactical and interesting. But thats just my opinion... i understand people that find it game breaking.

[@RobPento]

Division-2 had several shield types and one reflected bullets. When you have no ability to shoot when your shield is deployed, this feature makes you a bit more than a moving target.

[@whiskeylung]

You presented a few things here as fact - there may be more than 4 attachment slots for weapons - the user in did not add a bottom attachment and they could have had a few different categories to choose from (that's my hope). I don't think I came up with the idea but it's been lodged in my brain that some attachment slots might not be Plus system compatible and you may need to add them in a more comprehensive way. While I am happy they've improved weapon customization from BF1 and BFV I'm still reserving a lot of judgement here - but if there are truly only 4 attachment slots I will call that a failure. Battlefield used to be able to compete with Call of Duty but in the last 3 titles it has not and if they're trying to demonstrate that BF2042 can be a return to form - they have to re-establish their seat in the industry titan FPS game by being the "Bigger is better" FPS shooter like they used to be. More weapons, more maps, more choices, more vehicles, more servers. If they can't present weapon customization like Call of Duty has in their latest games... I don't know what to say except that I'll be very disappointed - 4 attachment slots is just not enough. I'd also like to say that presenting values next to weapons by adding attachments or removing them is not new and OFTEN does not reflect the actual changes to the weapon. You're right the categories for measuring the values are way too broad.
