Thank god DICE :) Now Change the controll setup back to BF3 controlls !!!

malokevi4641d ago

Knifing/crouching have got me all turned around.

@ malokevi
I switched over to the Veteran settings and it was somewhat similar to BF3.

I knew DICE wasn't going to keep those lock on mechanics. I mean to have a standard RPG/SMAW lock-on to vehicles wasn't fun.

spaceg0st4641d ago

they added a 'legacy' control option in the menus, which reverts the controls back to bf3.

Dice listens.

ZeroX98764641d ago

not a problem on my PC. I've always wondered, why doesn't dev let you customize your controls layout the way you want? Sony should implement this in the PS4 OS, it would please a lot of gamers.

Shuyin4641d ago

Agreed. PS3 controls were HORRYFING.

Shuyin4641d ago

Wtf. Said I replied to the guy above, lol
Fail.
My bad y'all. Don't burn me alive.

oof464641d ago

Are you referring to the input lag or just the controls in general?

Shuyin4635d ago

Control settings / button layout.

Shakes4641d ago

I thought it was very weird for the RPG to do that so it makes sense to stop it. Looks like the SRAW may be the go to rocket for engineers now. Its free fire, wire guided, and can lock onto laser designated targets. Sounds like the multi purpose rocket that can fit all situations. Im sure it will do less damage though so we will have to see at game launch time how good it can be. I know stingers werent very effective in the beta. They were a two shot kill. Combine that with flares and they are a 3 shot kill. Will the chopper you are shooting at stick around long enough to be locked onto three times? Probably not.

Shadow-King4641d ago

I thought the RPG only locked onto a target if a re-con had it painted in the beta, but dumb fire when nothing is painted. I thought this was good because it meant pilots had to think more about manoeuvring and they weren't so OP.

I hope they can still do that at least. Hate how easily choppers can dominate the battlefield.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot1555d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw2501554d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1554d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop1554d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno1554d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel1555d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1554d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge1028881554d ago (Edited 1554d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k331554d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge1028881554d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH1554d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
