Battlefield 5

[tommers]

Sounds good, one thing I'm not sure about with this game is is there some kind of aim assist in the multiplayer? if there is i don't know how it works. I get shot a lot.

There is, not that it helps me. Only seems to work at close range as well, it's not going to help you snipe.

I have a really annoying habit of pressing down on the R3 stick when aiming so I'm constantly diving prone halfway through shooting somebody. Drives me mad.

Some of the kids playing this are bloody good shots. As a newb I die alot.

Yeah they consistently put the sight over their target and pull the trigger. I honestly have no idea how they do it. I can't seem to.

I should be online at around 22:00 tonight if anyone wants to squad up.

Here in deffo up for squadding up on this

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Get that. Thought I'd burnt out of FPS after Destiny which I played with you a few times on ps3.

Edit: sent tommers, Kid-Eternity & Dead Cat Bounce requests

Cool beans! If you see me online and play do join or invite to a party!

Have definitely found I'm getting better at this after much practice. I came 4th of 35 last night, much better than my normal ranking in the bottom 5 when I first started.

Which rank are you? I am not seeing much change.

I'm getting better but only as I learn the maps and good places to hide

 

[Ranu]

10, but moving up more slowly with the progression of each rank.

ETA - The ranking I meant in the original post was multiplayer ranking, i.e. my rank compared to the other players in each individual game, not in-game ranking. My in-game ranking is 10.

Sent you an FR, although I'm on holiday from tomorrow, so I won't be online for a few weeks (unless my mate who's staying at my gaff uses my PS4, but he's not a game player, he'll use it for fillums)

Game is still a bit broken on xbox, its rarely possible to quit from multiplayer without it hanging and eventually getting chucked from server for inactivity. Then it's unable to log back on without a total restart.

Still enjoying this, Operations especially, but there a lot of bugs that need sorting out.

Medals seem to working okay now but the revive bug where you can't aim down sight is annoying.

 

[Chilli.s]

Id like to see the hardcore mode even hardcorier! make the bodies stay on the map for the rest of the game and be blown to pieces if hit by a shell, add

killable civilians blundering about too. Oh the horror.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Might not do your lag any favours!

 

[Chilli.s]

Yeah i guess so. I don't find the game lags in anyway that spoils it, so it could work in a limited ticket lobby. The civilians npcs would slow it down too.

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Playing BF1 for the next couple of hours if anyone is online.

 

[Rosemary Jest]

Has anyone downloaded the 'real' Battlefield 5 yet? Thought I'd bump this thread rather than start a new un.

Got a 10 hour trial ready to start on XBox One, will probably give it a go at the weekend. Looks a top multiplayer game though, and I generally don't get on with them. Love Battlefield 1 so this just seems bigger and better.

 

[Rosemary Jest]

Gave this a quick go last night on the trial basis, seems quite good so far. Not quite got the hang of the new commands etc and not managed to revive anyone either.

Still, seems like a great multiplayer game so far.

 

[sim667]

I think I will get it, but not straight away..... maybe as an xmas pressie.

 

[Rosemary Jest]

Yeah, I don't fancy paying full price but it is very good indeed. The battles are bigger and better than BF1 and you can lose hours in it. Being part of a squad seems more important this time.

Weirdly, the graphics seem a bit ropier but they'll probably improve over time.

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Bought a copy on the way in to work this morning. Probably won't get a chance to play it until the weekend.

 

[Rosemary Jest]

I think you'll enjoy it.

Did you see any good Xbox deals for it?

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

I'm sure I'll enjoy it, been playing the series since BC2.

Got burned out on BF1 a couple of months ago so eager to get back in.

Playing on PS4 so didn't see any Xbox deals, looks like they've raised the price this time. I remember BF1 retailing for £44.99 but couldn't find BF5 for less than £52.99 (I didn't look that hard TBF)

 

[Chilli.s]

I quite enjoyed B1, until Kid explained that the people who killed me were logged onto a server far away from their location as the game favored them for that. A few experiments seemed to back this up.

How do you mean? Is it somethibg to do with lag or sonething? not really up on online gaming, so being a bit thick.

If you've got 25 minutes spare this video will explain most things with network performance in gaming and BF1.

I got into a bit of a scrap with some dudes who seemed to be able to shoot me through a wall or as soon as I popped up to shoot them, this is supposed to be because I was on a faster link to the server than them and the game gave them some advantage. I spat my dummy right out and flounced in tears.

There are so many cheats and hacks for these games that I stopped playing online years ago. What's the point of playing if you're playing someone (or a team of someones) who use hacks to win?
