I'm not sure what they increased TTK to, doesn't feel like it was changed all that much, although I have survived a few sprints across broad open plains, despite getting shot a few times.

Face to face encounters don't seem as though they've changed, maybe 1 additional shot for some of the automatics? Whatever that 1 shotgun is for Support still seems to be instakill.

I still really haven't had a chance to put a lot of hours into the game though, so perhaps chalk it up to BFV inexperience overall.

For all the great things about any BF game, and the cool new stuff, BFV is still let down by shitty teammates who only want to camp on the fucking hills and snipe instead of capping flags, or playing any sort of flag defense.

Cosmetic stuff aside, I still love the game. I play a lot of Blackops 4 Blackout and whenever I want some god old fashioned fun I play a match of QC

For about 70% more money I expect 70% better performance! As I did with nvidia's RTX, by the way.

Why? There's always diminishing returns at the top. Always. In every single category of every single product.

If you want something bleedingly new and cutting edge, you're paying a premium for it. The performance per dollar is never in favor of the highest end products. Anywhere. Ever.

I feel like people on this site have kind of lost that. Like we used to know it - we used to look at the top end products and think about how cool the performance was but realize it wasn't made for us and it wasn't going to be something we'd buy - instead we'd buy something half the price and 75% the performance. But lately it seems like everyone here is demanding value from the highest tier products. That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

Have BF fans gone to PUBG/Fortnite? I'd expect PUBG got a huge chunk, right? Less to Fortnite and Overwatch.

But those games are what's taking players these days, not realistic or semirealistic deathmatch games.

listen to your fanbase - we wanted Battlefield 2143 or Bad Company 3

Oh, look, ZDNet has another Windows/PCs are dying opinion piece with very few facts and even less intelligence or insight.

It's almost painful watching them maneuver this unfortunate pile of manure. They failed, instead of focusing on making the game another competitive mechanics game I think it would have been better to create a multiplayer experience more influenced by Quake 1 & 2 than 3.

I hate EA as much as the next guy but to think this wasn't inevitable or to bag on it as if the game was exclusively Battle Royale is a little reaching.

It's one of several modes. Conquest will always be my jam.

as well as keeping an eye on announcements from our competitor products

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 announcement responsible? Surely not, 2021 is so far vs Q1 2019. Just funny to read this quote the day after GSC's announcement.

ALLLLLL ABOARD, the trendy MS Bash Wagon is ready to depart!

I've used Windows 10 game recorder for various LPs, and it works very well, and I can't even notice it running in the background. Works way better than other recording software I've used.

The low player numbers are unfortunate but the market is simply saturated with shooters. I'm definitely having more fun with Lawbreakers than Quake Champions tho.

How's the player base? Got this last fall and only started playing July 2017 and just switched to Dirty Bomb because it feels like you have to snipe or fly to have any success in bf1.

PC went from to many fps to a few and most don't have server browsers. I want to frag like its 1999 not 1991...

Well, as of a few days ago, BF1 still has a pretty decent playerbase as far as I can tell (in the US), games at any time of day or night possible, and they'll always be full. Conquest Large, 64player. I'm sure player count is down overall, but people leave and come back, as they get tired of whatever new game is out.

Gun/Vehicle balance is for the most part pretty good right now in BF1, honestly. Some people are complaining about shotguns not registering correctly recently, but anecdotal evidence, I haven't had any problems. As far as sniping/flying, way more people will be using Helriegel and some of the other popular and/or unlock required guns and dominating. Sniping loses games unless you are a phenomenal sniper. There's enough anti-air to deal with pilots, but yes, a great pilot can do very well.

I should probably try Dirty Bomb at some point, I hear good things (mostly) about that, aside from some free to play grinding annoyance.
