    Battlefield 6 teaser in Development Clip? EA play, Destructions looks like from Battlefield. Also The building looks modern.

    Posted: 18 Jun 2020 05:47 PM PDT

    I found an interesting small detail a few months ago, so apparently the small visor thing (notice the left side visor) would open when someone is inside and would close when they get out

    Every since my 360 broke, I’ve been dying to play bf3. So I built my first pc to do exactly that. Included with a custom Grand Bazaar mouse pad!

    Very Detailed BF6 Vehicle Ideas - Full Gameplay Customization Slots For Every Vehicle In The Game

    Posted: 19 Jun 2020 07:45 AM PDT

    With a theoretically modern BF on the horizon, I want to see them double down on vehicle customization. Which isn't to say that I necessarily want a bajillion guns to be usable at the same time by every vehicle, but I'd certainly like to see more mechanically distinct options.

    That in mind, I took what BF4 got us to, and kinda..went wild with it. Everything not elaborated in the post was in BF4, and I'd love to see what Dice can do besides these ideas. I'm sure the balance is screwy, but hey, that's part of the fun, right?

    (Oh, and descriptors of metrics are as follows: Mag Size/Reserve Size; Firing Rate/Reload time/Regen time; Single round reload to mag reload. Thus [1/5; 20/3/2.5; Single] refers, essentially, to the MBTs main AP weapon, with 1 round in the chamber, 5 in reserve, 20 rounds per minute, 3 seconds to reload, 2.5 seconds to regen, and regeneration for a single round at a time)

    From the top...

    Main Battle Tank

    Driver Primary:

    • AP
    • Sabot
    • HE
    • HESH- High arc, but deals extreme damage to buildings, AP damage to vehicles, and explosively causes an canister shot-like blast behind struck target into whatever void is on the immediate other side. I know these aren't really used anymore, but who's counting.
      • 1/3; 20/3/2.5; Single
    • AMP- Combination round. Only deals as much damage as an HE round to tanks, but explosive radius like AP. However:
      • Shoots what's basically a weak canister round around main shot
      • Hold and release firing button to time exactly when shot will explode, or when it first hits something/if not held
      • 1/2; 20/3/2.25; Single.

    Driver Primary:

    • Canister
    • Guided Shell
    • LMG
    • HMG
    • Staff Shell

    Driver Optics:

    • Zoom
    • Night
    • Thermal - Thermal, in this envisioning, is much blurrier, but works at longer ranges and reveals movement tracks made in the last 2 seconds from up close, or last 3 seconds for vehicles

    Driver Upgrades:

    • Maintenance
    • Thermal Camo
    • Autoloader

    Driver Countermeasures

    • IR Smoke
    • Smokescreen
    • Fire Extinguisher
    • ERA Armor - The back, sides, and top each have an armor strip that, when shot at with a rocket, automatically fires a very short range shotgun-like blast to destroy it (very possibly killing close range infantry). Each of the 4 sides side only has one "round" before it must be repaired to "reload" it, but it activates automatically. Front and especially the back have a smaller coverage area.

    Gunner Primary

    • LMG
    • HMG

    Gunner Upgrade

    • Belt Loader
    • Incendiary
    • Proximity Scan

    Gunner Optics

    • Threat ID:V - For enemy vehicles within 300M, highlights them in little red squares and shows range. These squares persist for 0.5 seconds after vehicles move beyond cover.
    • Zoom
    • SOFLAM Scope: Support - 300M range

    Infantry Fighting Vehicle

    Driver Primary

    • 25mm
    • Canister
    • APFSDS-T
    • Tank Destroyer - Same gun as a AP shot from a tank, but smaller mag profile and considerably higher kick.
      • 1/2; 20/3/2.5; Single
    • MCV- Makes IFV stationary to deploy, which takes 3.5 seconds and 2 to become mobile again. Map and range like normal mortar. Firing stays on enemies map for 7 seconds.
      • Deals 75 damage in radius 1.2x as wide as normal mortar
      • 2/6; 30/3/5.125; Single

    Driver Secondary

    • TOW
    • LMG
    • Zuni

    Driver Optics

    • Zoom
    • Night
    • Thermal - Again, thermal is different here. See MBT section.

    Driver Upgrades

    • Maintenance
    • Thermal Camo
    • Autoloader
    • Reactive Armor

    Driver Countermeasure

    • IR Smoke
    • Smoke
    • Active Protection
    • Fire Extinguisher

    Gunner Primary

    • LMG

    Gunner Upgrade

    • Belt Loader
    • Incendiary
    • Prox Scan

    Gunner Optics

    • Threat ID:I - For enemy infantry within 200M, highlights them in little red squares and shows range. These squares persist for 0.25 seconds after infantry move beyond cover.
    • Zoom
    • SOFLAM Scope: Scouting - 500M range

    AMTRAC

    Driver Upgrades

    • Baseplate - Squad members of passengers can now spawn directly behind vehicle even if vehicle is full, and adds 2 unprotected handles on the back of the vehicle, which can't be used in the water.
    • Turbines - 50% faster in water
    • Overcrank - 25% faster in water and on land; getting spotted lasts for 0.5 seconds longer
    • Prox Scan

    Driver Countermeasure

    • IR Smoke
    • FRAG Kit - The back, sides, and top each have an armor strip that, when shot at with a rocket, automatically fires a very close range shotgun-like blast to destroy it (very possibly killing close range infantry). Each side only has one "round" before it must be repaired to "reload" it, but it activates automatically. Top and front have a smaller coverage area. Snipers only small arms capable of killing driver.
    • Smoke Flares - Launches 2 combined smoke/flares in quick succession a few meters away in the opposite direction of travel, or wherever aiming at if still.
      • Smoke forms a ring in the area at apex of arc; this ring expands to obfuscate vision of the vehicle and eventually the broader area, lasting for 5 seconds.
      • The flares in the middle continue on the arc, falling to the ground, where they draw incoming heat-seeking fire, can each take a single hit, and remain on the ground for the next 10 seconds, otherwise acting as normal flares.
      • 20 seconds to recharge.

    Gunner Primary

    • HMG
    • M10-10 Flamethrower - A large, vehicle mounted flamethrower, capable of "flowing" past cover but has quite an arc, hitting the ground about 70 meters away if fired straight.
      • Does no damage at all to vehicles.
      • Deals damage on stream to infantry as if an incendiary grenade
      • X/X; 60/10/10; Tank. Basically, can fire continuously for 10 seconds, but then takes 10 seconds for tank to refill.
    • MCLC - Launches a wired rocket wherever gunner is aiming; after 10 meters away from the vehicle, rocket starts to lay out an explosive line charge on the ground for the next 50 meters.
      • Once rocket has flown the entire distance (or even before), release to have the primer go off - line charge detonates about a second later.
      • Strikes an area 0.3x as wide as the amtrac on either side of the line, dealing as much damage as an RGO and completely destroying all deployed equipment, mines, mounted weapons, or battle pickups in the line.
      • 1/0; 3/4/16; Single

    Gunner Secondary

    • Vehicle Mounted Javelin - Much like the engineering one.
      • 1/1; 30/2/3; Single
    • Ranging Mortar - Hold fire button to prime mortar as a range counter rapidly clicks up, release to fire mortar down at that range. No map mode.
      • Comes with smoke grenades as tertiary component
      • Mortar deals 75 damage in as wide a radius as normal mortar
      • 1/4;60/1.5/2.25;Single
    • 40mm Grenades

    Gunner Optics

    • Zoom

    HIMARS

    Driver Primary

    • M270 (normal)
    • FASCAM - A round which hits with as much power as a grenade with 1.25x as much of a radius, but has a delay of 2.25 seconds after hitting the ground and very visible smoke trail from impact.
      • 5/10; 48/3/5.25; Magazine
    • MRSI - A round which hits like a mortar shell, but has zero reticle spread and 0.8x the normal range and 1.5x the normal delivery time (of first fired round).
      • All 3 rounds hit at the same time if fired within 0.75 seconds on each other, which is the max firing speed
      • 3/9; 80/2.5/3.75; Magazine
    • Zuni

    Driver Secondary

    • EFP - Shell goes up, and breaks into 3 satellites on the way down.
      • Screen splits into quadrants, and 3 of them show rapidly spinning views of the satellites as they fall to earth.
      • Mouse controls aiming laser of all EFPs simultaneously; have it scan a vehicle 2 times to lock position and fire, doing as much damage as a LAW round.
      • Last quadrant shows normal map
      • 1/2; 60/3/3; Single
    • GLMRS- Round which gains a camera view of the missile on the screen. 0.8x as much range as normal.
      • Click again when round is in the air to trigger it to explode in a shotgun-esque blast of minirockets to rain down on an area.
      • These minirockets are effectively 9 23 Gauge Frag rounds fired simultaneously, straight down
      • Minirockets have 30 degree spread from vertical
      • Otherwise impacts like a normal mortar round.
      • 1/2; 60/3/3; Single
    • FMAV - Round which, as it falls down, deploys a ribbon/ring parachute to slow its descent somewhat - doesn't explode or deal damage in any way, but functions as a falling MAV which can spot enemies as it falls.
      • 1/1; 24/2.5/2.5; Single

    Driver Upgrades

    • Archer - All weapons now have half as much ammo for their reserve, but 50% more regen speed and 30% additional range
    • Loader Gearing - Mags regen 30% faster
    • Treads - Zero turning radius, climbs steeper hills, 50% faster acceleration, able to move as soon as leaving aim mode
    • Stabilizers - Rounds experience 66% as much reticle spread and travel 30% faster
    • Baffles - Spends half as much time on minimap from firing report or being spotted.
    • AMG
      • No primary or secondary allowed
      • Getting into "gunner" seat deploys antenna masts after 2 seconds ; takes 2 seconds in driver seat to move again
      • On this map, they control a 72 degree slice of the pie with their aiming; this can be moved freely around in a circle
      • Every 2 seconds, this slice releases a radar pulse, spots either enemy air or ground vehicles for 1.5 seconds. This positional information is given to all teammates.
      • Range of slice is 50-550M
      • The farther away from vehicle, the longer pulse takes to reveal them, at a speed of 125M every 0.25 seconds. So a vehicle 50M away is revealed 2 seconds after last pulse; a vehicle 175M is revealed 2.25 seconds after last pulse; 300 2.5; 425 2.75; 550 3.00
      • Radar slice can rotate at 90 degrees per 0.33 seconds; thus, it takes 1.33 seconds to make a full revolution
      • Player gets kill assists per vehicle kills if they're marked while destroyed

    Driver Countermeasures

    • Smoke
    • Active Protection
    • Automated Incendiary Launchers - 2, one for each side. Alarm sounds as infantry approaches; tap button to trigger an incendiary explosion for whichever side has the closer infantry.

    • Chimney - Able to carry 2 less passengers but mines do 40% as much damage - serves as mobile deployment for squad even if full. Full deployment spawns squaddies behind the vehicle.
    • Boomerang)- Top mounted system (thus visible to enemies) which auto-spots any enemies firing weapons in a larger radius (1.3x) than the proxy scan if there are no walls with ceilings between them and the vehicle, even if weapons are silenced.
      • Any snipers shooting within 15 degrees of the boomerang system itself are pointed at with a highly visible red laser, no matter how far away they are - although the laser dissipates after 75M.
      • Only works if moving slowly (walking speed) or stationary and occupied.
    • Baseplate - Serves as a mobile deployment point for squad members even if full, has 2 more "seats"(really just unprotected handles) on the back of the vehicle where 2 more people can hold on for a ride, and has a permanent medkit/ammo pack on the back as well. Back door can't be destroyed.

      • Can switch back to primary weapon to maintain vision mode, but can only cycle by engaging secondary weapon, this scope, and "firing" it.
      • This "vision toggle" for other weapons cannot zoom

    Jeep

    Driver Upgrades

    • Plating - Adds armor plating on the side, but makes vehicle 15% slower

    • Passive Radar
    • Laser Guided
    • TV Guided
    • Hedgehog)- 3 magnetic mortar-like charges in a burst which, if they hit the water, ducks below the surface, pops back up, spread out in something like a triangle shape, and gets magnetically attached to any vehicles within 10m before exploding enough to do 18 damage each to a FAC.
      • Can aim the traverse/azimuth like a normal weapon, but the angle of firing is determined by selecting from increments of it the gunner wants it to land 20m, 40m, 60m, 80m, or 100m away.
      • Hold down firing button to bring up increments listing on the weapon angle device. Tap up or down to set distance, and release to fire.

    • Gyroscopic Stabilizer - Vehicle will *never* tilt past control if hit (although an airburst hit still disables the rotor) and even if it loses all power will spin down to earth due to larger rotor engines.
    • Gunner Shielding - Side gunners now have ballistics shields attached to their guns, akin to the HMG emplacements except slightly smaller.
      • Side gunners now have ballistics shields attached to their guns, akin to the HMG emplacements except slightly smaller.

    • Subskimmer - Allows the RHIB to dive underwater if the driver "fires".
      • Can only stay underwater for 7 seconds, as denoted by a slowly regenerating(if not underwater) battery gauge on the HUD, and slightly slowed down as it's now running on battery power.
      • Clears spot once it gets underwater, and passengers have scuba gear such that they don't need to worry about air supply while in the vehicle.
      • Decided by driver; overrules gunner's choice.
    • Forward Deployment - Has an armored prow with raised shielding, integrated HMG, and an "always-on-enemy's-minimap" spawn beacon in the protected area.
      • Decided by driver; overrules gunner's choice.
    • Sapper - Can drive up to enemy's spawn carrier and delay respawns.
      • Gunner now has magnetic limpet charges which, if placed on carrier within an extremely close distance, delays the respawn timer of enemy vehicles for a period of time.
      • Closer to respawn point on the carrier itself=longer delay, and only vehicle capable of going to enemy's spawn (but can't capture their vehicles since that'd be out of bounds as soon as they tried).
      • Decided by gunner (which is to say, only works if the driver doesn't have subskimmer, FD, or insertion loadout).
      • Respawn mechanics work like anti-ship missile from an attack boat
      • 1/3;30/2/7;Single
    • Insertion - Runs quieter, leading to spot times only lasting 50% as long.
      • No gun, but webbing hooks allow 6 passengers instead of just 4.
      • Once the passengers exit the vehicle, they are automatically in the "dive" state under the water (if possible), with a 1.25x boost in speed, which lasts until they surface

    Hovercraft

    Operational Stance

    • Flexible - As it is now. No sight blocking armor, no weapons besides whatever the passenger has.
      • Determined by driver.
    • Up Armored - Protective tall steel plating serves as shielding on the sides, towards the back and angling up to get closer to the main fan.
      • Moves 10% slower and blocks sightlines of passengers out towards the side.
      • Determined by driver.
    • Hedgehog - See Hedgehog from attack boat section
      • Determined by passenger, but the up-armored siding makes it only effective to aim at frontal targets if that's chosen as well.

    AC-130

    First Gunner Weapons

    • 105mm
    • Reaper - Wire guided missile; deals as much damage as a top attack Javelin.
      • 1/2;30/2/5;Single

    Second Gunner Weapons

    • 40mm
    • Ranging Scope - Using a scope like the attack heli's gunners sighting rectangle, match up with primary gunners reticle (aka you see where they're aiming and must aim at the same place) to help "sight" their weapon and better determine where the round will hit.
      • Closer to their aim=they see a smaller circle of where the round will land once fired.

    Third Gunner Weapons

    • 25mm
    • 20mm - AA guns looking out slightly behind wings; switch "weapons" to swap sides.

    Gunner Upgrades - These apply to any seat

    • Ball Gunner - Wider turning/turret radius; more powerful guns get less of an increase, and 25mm still can't face straight out to the side.
    • Belt Loader
    • Impact Munitions - 50% faster travel from the gunship, but 25% load time increase
    • Air Radar
    • SEAD- Casts an area of "map scrambling" out from the aircraft:
      • For primary gunner; semi-circle 100 meters out in front now no longer shows allied signatures on any enemy minimaps
      • For secondary gunner; semi-circle 100 meters out behind now no longer shows allied signatures on any enemy minimaps
      • For tertiary gunner; gives false positives of allied planes to enemy minimaps within 300m of aircraft
      • No matter who has it, gives AC-130 a thin but definite bulge on it's underbelly/sides

    Operational Stance

    • MRAP - Opt to have a single MRAP (or faction equivalent) in the plane, able to get into and start drop sequence with the same button used to get into the jetski from a boat.
      • Has 3 seats, but only one per plane, with a warning once the drop mechanism has been started; drops 3 seconds later.
      • Deploys parachute automatically once close enough.
      • If anyone has this, the option to enter is available, but only those who have this option can drive/launch.
    • Wing Suit - Personal wing suit, able to direct in air movement much more accurately/laterally than just falling straight down.
      • Deploy parachute manually once closer to ground.
    • Drop Pod - Can get into via jetski button, but only one person at a time (charges as soon as someone enters). Fires in the opposite direction plane is moving, within 60 degree aim arc.

    Driver Countermeasure

    • IR Flares
    • Fire Extinguisher
    • Wired Flares - Half as long a recharge as normal flares, but requires a lock on the incoming missile for pilot to be able to use them.

    Gunner Primary

    • TV Missile
    • JDAM

    Driver Targeting Systems

    • Laser Designator - Operates just like the recon one; ADS to activate.

      • 1/3; NA/2/4;Single

    Driver Targeting

    • HMDS- Free look can now be used as a means to target secondary weapons; lockons done this way take 20% longer.
    • AESA- Radar about 60% as far a coverage area as an air radar, but every 6 seconds it releases a pulse which highlights ground/sea vehicles as well. Also notes buildings at the height the plane is at as red blocks on the radar.
    • Air Radar
    • Prox Scan

    Driver Upgrades

    Driver Countermeasures

    • IR Flares
    • ECM Jammer
    • Fire Extinguisher

    How about you? What new customization or even vehicles would you want to see?

    Is Battlefield V The Worst Battlefield?

    Posted: 19 Jun 2020 02:53 AM PDT

    This may age like milk, but I don't think there's a Battlefield reveal today.

    Posted: 18 Jun 2020 11:50 AM PDT

    BF3 was revealed 1 year prior to launch using a teaser with nothing resembling gameplay. (reveal 2010, launch 2011)

    BF4 was revealed 1 year prior to launch using a teaser with nothing resembling gameplay. (reveal 2012, launch 2013)

    BFH was not revealed 1 year prior to launch. It was revealed the same year. (2015)

    BF1 was not revealed 1 year prior to launch. It was revealed the same year. (2016)

    BFV was not revealed 1 year prior to launch. It was revealed the same year. (2018)

    BF6 will most likely be revealed next year.

    No kaiserschlacht lobbies?

    Posted: 19 Jun 2020 11:00 AM PDT

    Title. Only found 1 kaiserschlacht lobby in the entire week playing this game. Bummer since it's my favorite operation.

    [Other] BF6?

    Posted: 18 Jun 2020 05:28 PM PDT

    Are BF3 and BF4 still active on PC?

    Posted: 19 Jun 2020 12:12 AM PDT

    I was thinking about picking up Battlefield 3 and 4 now that they're on Steam but I was wondering if anyone knows how active the online is on PC? Do people still play these games online?
