Battlefield V

[sze5003]

What is the damn key to use a medkit? At one point the screen kept flashing the S key to heal but that just walks you backwards. Overall, I think I prefer BF1. The ammo limit is just annoying, especially on the Norway map. I had some fun as an engineer running around on Rotterdam map at least and tossing out ammo packs. I'm not a fan of having to back out completely from a server to set up your armory and switch weapons (unless I'm missing something) or of the fact that I have to level up to switch weapons. All British assault soliders start with a stg44 and a P38 apparently.

This one had me confused as well. It's hold 5 to heal yourself as a medic. You hit 3 to throw a medkit but you can only throw one when someone is injured and in your line of sight.

I'm not a fan of any of the medic weapons. I need to find out there are some semi automatic rifles in the full game for the medic. I simply can not get as many enemies with these rapid automatic guns the medic has available because the recoil is all over the place. Actually I've had better luck taking people down firing from the hip with them.

You also can't fight from medium to long range with this medic class at all. But what I see is like 2-3 assault guys, the rest are snipers standing far away and maybe once or twice I've seen one support guy. That gun sucks too. I really liked the guns in bf 1 better they just felt more stable.

The weapons swap was the same in bf 1. You had to reach a certain level with each weapon to unlock the other one.

It's not the "S"key, it's mapped to "5"

Bah, makes sense on the medkit key. Thanks.

FYI, the premium pass for BF1 is free now for the next few days on Origin.

Pixelsquish, could you ever or did you try to link PS4 and PC accounts to where you use the same profile?

I've wondered the same thing but I don't think you can do that. Sony would have to allow cross platform play to let us play with PS4 users. I haven't seen an option on origin to login with your psn id.

I'm really not looking forward to to the game if I can't use rifles as a medic. That's the main class I play. I miss that one rifle in bf1 the medic class had.

 

[Malogeek]

I'm sure as the game progresses and new packs are released there will gradually be a lot more weapon options, just like in BF1.

Seems they switched the Assault and Medic class weapons around this time, giving the medics SMG's. They've done this before, I remember in Bad Company2 the medic carried LMG's and the supports carried standard rifles.

I've used the same email and pw that I use for PS4 on the PC, won't work And vice versa Yet in Origin on the PC shows my PS4 account as a linked account. I've read some people have gotten it to work some not Chatted with EA and they said no. I'm not trying to play both games at the same time or against each other. Just trying to have one profile to level up. Login to the same profile no matter which system I use.

It's just frustrating to level up two accounts. I've bought two versions of many games for this reason. And why I support buying shortcuts. Level up one account and buy up the other. This is the last game I'm buying two copies though. This business practice is infuriating.

I see your point and it makes perfect sense. Which makes me wonder as a software dev, what type of API they are using for the user accounts. It's probably not abstract enough that it could easily be separated from the integration with the game engine. The console accounts most likely use a different system even though they too are going through origin. Since the games are tied to your account they wouldn't want to allow multiple integrations on one account because then they would be losing money or getting games for free on the second platform.

It would be really nice to have one origin account for what you describe, in case you have friends on PC and on ps4 that play the same game.

I believe it was mentioned above - The "5" Key.

Bump since it came out last night for all the people who don't want to have another monthly bill on their credit card. Any thoughts? I plan to play tonight after work.

 

[sze5003]

Still thinking if I should buy it on PC. Not sure if there will be a Black Friday sale. Most likely now since it came out only a few days before Black Friday.

Not a fan of how they changed the medic classes now from what I played in the betas. Also it's got some bugs but they aren't as bad according to those at least making posts on Reddit.

I only played 3 maps yesterday so I'm still getting used to it but it feels like BF. Thre's a lot more detail so fnding enemies is tougher especially since they took away spotting. Now hitting Q just puts a marker on the ground.

I think the only way to spot now is to be a sniper. I believe they have that ability not everyone else.

Battlefield V seems to be the final victory of cinematics over gameplay. Hard to even judge the gameplay as it's just too far like a movie now. Not sure if this is just how I react to amazing graphics or what.

In my opinion the graphics I think aren't that great at least on PC. Bf 1 was far better looking including the character models.

 

[MrSquished]

BFV has more cinematic and gritty visuals than BF1, which was more brighter and cartoon-ish. Definitely not worse than BF1, just different.

I didn't necessarily mean that in terms of quality, but more in terms of what they're focusing on. I meant the multiplayer too, obviously single player has been like that for years -

Bit the bullet and went for EA acess,got a nice backlog of games i want to try out including BF5. While the download is still going on i played the first few campaign stories and it runs like butter on my i5 8400 and 1070ti at 1080p with 82-150fps .Cpu usage is way lighter then it was in BF1 and heck when i download the download alone can consume up to 16% cpu usage so add that on top of the game and color me impressed.

Hoping i don't fall into the territory of unplayable frame rates in multiplayer,seems to be a issue with many people even on the older i7 chips. Saw enough videos on youtube of properly working i5 8400 rigs and it looks solid minus high cpu usage but at least its getting properly used!

Are the day one BF5 nvidia drivers any better for this game?I ran 416.34 cause the latest had fps drops in a couple other games i play.

 

[MrSquished]

this is one of the best epic FPS games out there now and it's crickets here on the board. interesting.

 

[sze5003]

I've been playing it quite a lot. I like it better than I did the beta. It's just that sometimes I get on a crap team and it's just impossible to win. Playing medic is hard when assault guns are very strong. I think they are looking to buff the smg's.

I found the first war story single player so mundane and annoying. Haven't finished it yet. But multiplayer has been fun and I've gotten used to trying to unlock all the assualt guns first. I usually just played medic but it's very difficult to do that now. When I play medic I only get points for healing because my gun shoots ping pong balls no matter what smg I pick and majority of players play long range with recon or support.

which medic SMG are you using? I leveled up the EMP last night and have been having fun with it since. But yeah, expect a medic buff and possibly the choice to use some more longer range carbines sooner than later. But I too play pretty much only medic so I'm stuck in the same boat.

I'm really digging TDM with medic on all maps besides Twisted Steel and Hamada. I like Frontlines with medic in Devastation, Narvik, Rotterdam, Arras and Aerodrome - and Fjells is meh.

I only have the mp40 unlocked so far. I like it better than the sten. Just need to get it to level 4 so I can unlock and reset the specializations.

I've been using the smle in assualt and I find it easier to get people compared to the m1907 which has a crazy fire rate. I'll settle on a weapon once I've unlocked most of them for each class.

I really like breakthrough. It's much more intense like rush was in the previous games. Breakthrough and conquest gives you the most points to level up though.

 

[DeadFred]

Got a "free" copy with a video card.

Its pretty and its better than it was in beta, but IMO its a big step backwards in the fun department from BF1. I just had what should have been an epic experience by winning a game of conquest with a single ticket left, but still just felt... meh. Only been playing a couple of days mainly conquest and domination so I'll give it some more time, try some other game modes, and see if it gets any better for me.

It's definitely a different game than BF1. I had a blast in BF1. It took me a few days of playing BFV to start to get that same rush when playing in a good round though. But it happened. And I'm a diehard medic, which is the most nerfed class right now.
