Exactly

[@xM4XvPA1Nx]

Agreed 100 percent. Although I might be biased because it was my first battlefield game it seems as though the graphics were a jump from BFBC2 and it was the first game I had played nonstop to completion.

[@notDreadful]

@@xM4XvPA1Nx Same here. My first BF game to actually play it non-stop. After I left PS3 I still played it on PC. But for example BFBC2, BF4, BF1 AND even BFH which many people didn't even try, are all amazing games imho. I only really felt that BFV was subpar and BF2042 as of right now it's an OK game. But wouldn't call it a BF game.

[@Cityrotta]

Yeah no. One of the worst campaigns ever with terrible gameplay, worse multiplayer than Battlefield 2 and the servers were terrible. How new are you?

[@The_GenXennial]

Back when battlefield had a great story and multiplayer. The good old days for sure.

[@krashd]

I would love to see Bad Company 3, the only times DICE made single-player games with added multiplayer rather than the other way around and both times they hit the mark. I wish EA would put aside the quest for endless wealth and for once do something for the fans rather than the shareholders, but I won't hold my breath.

This is to be expected though, as there are no longer any developers on the DICE team who have worked with previous titles past BF5. The entire team behind sound design is completely different and those who were left after BF1 left the studio once they finished their work on BF5.

Objectively, from a graphical and technological standpoint, just flat out wrong. From an opinionated perspective looking at art direction? Well if you like runway launches yeah this mission is really cool. BF3's whole ambiance was lens flare galore and blue tint though, Bf4 was an improvement and Bf1 probably had the best general art direction. 2042 still has the best general graphics (textures/lighting/particle effects) as much as people don't want to admit it lmao.

[@Pilot231]

So would it still be hard to launch aircraft in that kind of weather? If I recall, a ship that covers more surface area of the sea is more likely to be affected by waves. I'd figured the sheer weight of an Aircraft Carrier (including a modern one) wouldn't be as affected as say a Destroyer would.

[@edust83]

what about the technicians right next to the plane when it takes off? is that accurate?

[@gabsforsberg]

I never noticed that! indeed its weird how stable it is.

[@Tingleton11]

​@@edust83 No they would be far far away. Some more inaccuracies I noticed below. TL;DR: Its a game, this is a good mission, the pilot did not pass flight school, you are a terrible radar operator, and that SU-27 doesn't have wings anymore. Problems with the plane: 1. The hornet wouldn't be on the catapult without the pilot in it. 2. There should be a heat shield behind the aircraft. 3. The JHMCS HMD (Helmet Mounted Display) is so wrong. 4. When they get shot at from ahead by those two planes (I think their SU-27s) you should be damaged because it shook the camera when the bullets went past which wouldn't happen unless they hit the plane the SU-27 is equipped with a 30mm GSh-301 which would absolutely shred a plane that it hits. 5. Why didn't the radar detect those 2 SU-27s the F/A-18D (I'm just assuming its the D variant because the only other two seater F/A-18 was only ever used as a training aircraft) is capable of doing it so clearly you are a terrible radar operator. 6. This one isn't an issue with the F/A-18D more with the SU-27 at 5:49 it does a cobra maneuver which I have some issues with, the SU-27 can do a cobra but not like that its wings would be gone. 7. The other F/A-18Ds landing gear just disappeared during the carrier launch. Problems with the flying: 1. When you takeoff from the catapult you pull up you don't fly straight. 2. when they were climbing they went at around an 80 degree angle which is a terrible idea I mean sure the hornet can do it but its unnecessarily risky..

[@imirazuke3516]

Is not exactly "trying to make composure". Fighter pilots (or acrobatic pilots) use breathing techniques to minimize the G-Force effects over their bodies. This technique combined with the G-suit effects, manages to keep them awake even on the sharpest turns during a dogfight. You really don't wanna have a G-LOC (Faint) during a situation like this.
