Big Sky alum Jesse James Keitel tells us what they're watching. What a fantastic podcast! I listen to every single one before deciding what to watch. My favorite ones have the writer Rosy Cordero.

The vehicle drop in system seems to hardly ever function. Sometimes your weapon attachments don't stay on when you respawn, or when you change guns you have to set it all up again wtf? I feel like I'm playing Duke 3D sometimes because when guys die sometimes they just stay standing there so it feels like holo dukes.
Oh and sometimes the parachutes don't go away after people land so they're running around with a giant parachute above them. Vehicles feel … kind of shitty? The tank felt super floaty and janky. The jet, I couldn't turn with my mouse.
I guess you have to use a controller to fly, or I need to adjust sensitivity - it was soooo slow to turn. Game is pretty though, explosions and everything look great as expected. The starter DMR is a lot of fun to play with but I didn't test too many guns yet. I'll give it some more time after work for sure. Vehicle invert look doesn't seem to work on Xbox I've noticed first thing.
Movement doesn't feel smooth either. I was murdering people and then I noticed.. In fact, it was 10 humans versus 11 humans and the rest of the server were AI. Dumb AI that run in a straight line or didn't return fire. My initial impression last night was the graphics were a step back from previous BF games but I think I would like to change that and instead say the graphics are much cleaner.
The map is HUGE and has a lot of structures to play around but nothing is dense with detail or clutter. There isn't debris blowing around or objects cluttering every corner which in reflection is ok.
Spotting enemies, or rather determining if someone is an enemy or a friendly, from a distance might be an issue. Everyone essentially looks the same or share a common vehicle and it's quite difficult to determine which is which from a distance. I really appreciate the addition of on-the-fly weapon attachments, that's fun to have.
The slide move feels pretty good too, I'm sure that won't be abused I can't figure out how to see a scoreboard, TAB only pulls up a general info screen with just your squad but I'm sure it's buried somewhere in the menus. So far it feels pretty good but I have no indication on where my server is located or my ping. I can only hope they include a server browser because quick match matchmaking can eat a wiener. Hah I'm watching Cohh play and his first game he was in a 1v1 with all other bots.
He re-queued and got a 64v64 match. Probably just matchmaking struggling with a ton of people jumping in? No full scoreboard. You can go to the squads and players menu escape then squads to see who's in the game but it's not an actual scoreboard. I hope they add that back in Grapple is great, I love that. So fun to zip onto roofs and drop in on people. I might go grapple and shotgun for some lols.
It's needed something like that for at least 3 games now. Then you could even ditch the dumb icons and nameplates floating above friend and foe when targeted that add more visual clutter and block more of the surroundings than they help.
This is one of my biggest beefs with the BF franchise. I can't tell if someone is friendly or not quick enough. I end up just shooting at everything that moves, and that to me is just frustrating. Also, to me, I feel there is no easy way to see where my teammates are going or trying to accomplish. To me BF games are just pure chaos most of the time, they look great, and are fun for a bit, but not overall a every day game for me.
Yeah, it's a problem. Both their UI and visibility has really sucked for years. As for the chaos and not knowing what the rest of your team is doing, I think bringing back a commander mode might really help there, especially now that there's 64 people per side, but I haven't heard anything like that for No overall attempt again at team-wide coordination makes any mode sound like an even bigger clusterfuck than the prior games.
There's still the squad leader coordination and highlighting of objectives, I'm sure. You can at least see what your immediate group wants to do, but limiting that to just 4 players seems absolutely insane at this point. Larger squads would also go a long way to promoting additional teamwork and immediate coordination in the midst of the chaos. At this point it seems so arbitrary, the only defense for it I've heard is that it cuts down on voice chat cross-talk or spam with randoms, but friend groups larger than 4 still do party chat outside of the game anyway.
Make it easier for groups of people to coordinate and play together, add better muting options in public games with randoms. Bring some better team play into this wholly team based series.
I spawned in a vehicle with someone. Cruised along with them for a while and got to a base, jumped out and started attacking dudes. I think I killed someone then I got killed. The game promptly locked up. Hope this is coming to Gamepass since it may not be a straight purchase like previous BF games. Probably months, BFV was on their sub service about 7 months after launch. There were rumors earlier that MS was going to try to have it debut on there as well.
It's somehow emulating an analog stick with the mouse. Watched Jackfrags for about 10 minutes and so far other than looking fairly janky it looks like chaotic fun to me. The AI looks just as bad as regular players as far as I could tell. The grapple hook looks like a fun way to move around and all y9our friendlies have blue icons on them not sure why or how that's difficult to read IDK it seems to me like shackers are jaded with this series and eager to rip it apart - but maybe I'm the one deluding myself.
I should caveat that I only played 2 rounds and had a lot of fun, but need to play more to say whether it's got legs. I would say don't worry about bugs cause it's a beta, but it's Dice so we know what launch will be janky. I bought it last night to play some of the open beta. Hope it's possible to actually join and find you guys to play with.
I haven't tried any friend stuff yet and won't be on tomorrow for a big battle, but hopefully it works well! Thursday night is the typical BF night, so we'll definitely be playing then. I'm a little worried about poor Wreckfest Wednesday tonight -- will anyone be there? Time will tell! They need to add whole team or area voice comm to battlefield.
Nobody use voice com because you are limited to your squad only. I don't understand why they haven't tried to make people use voice comm more. It's kind of an essential part of a team game. Why can't they do something like Hell let loose or the game Squad?
Is voice comm working for you? I couldn't get that or text chat to work at all. I haven't played it. But from watching the streams, either it's not working or nobody is talking. Battlefield games always has been like that because it's very badly designed. So no shit that we don't hear anyone. Are the key binds broken for anyone else?
I went to reset my grenade and special to the side mouse buttons and it worked for one of them, but now I can't rebind anything and I can't even access those functions with the default keys. Other than that, I'm having fun with it so far.
