Support NeoGAF

[Luipadre]

Coming next month! Sooner than expected. There will be an open beta before release and the game is crossplay from day 1

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Proper looking forward to this!!

Please, please! Have Hannah in it



..And I'll have this on in the background

Early reports were not that good about the performance so it will probably run like absolute shit

Closed beta I'm assuming so hopefully it's just an earlier build. We'll see though.

Well yeah but these trailers are low fps aswell. Doesn't give me too much confidence

 

[mitch1971]

Battlefield Vietnam was great expansion.

 

[Forth]

Just read that the VC tunnels are just fast travel points. Such a missed opportunity there.
But I'm excited for this although there's no way I'm preordering until I see how it lands.
I'm reading reports that the recent beta was disappointing and that this is launching a month later, oh dear.

As long as it runs 60fps or close to it (within the VRR window for me) then I don't care about performance. Whether the game is actually any good is what I'm concerned with.

[Luipadre]

Nice i saw some new gameplay also came out. Gonna check those. Beta tomorrow!

 

[Luipadre]

Yeah this looks awesome. Much better looking footage than that awful motion blur heavy official video a month or so ago. I love the vietnam setting

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[Sethbacca]

This looks outstanding even if it's not something that I would typically play only because I like the more casual type shooters.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Damn this looks sick

[LordBritish]

This have Khe Sahn? My dad was at Khe Sahn so that would be pretty killer

 

[Luipadre]

Open beta starts in 2 hours i think. Im gonna try this when i get home

Oh shit, didn't realise it was that soon. I'll check Steam in a bit and try play some of this today at some point.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Anyone trying it yet?

Will be firing it up here shortly

Just played through the mandatory tutorial (which is a great thing in a game like this) and it's essentially HLL but with a Vietnam skin. I've got man flu so will give it a proper go a bit later after I've had some rest.

 

[Buhaj]

Cross play is mandatory? If so, I do not feel like serving as cannon fodder to PC players on PS5.

I think there will be console only servers

 

[ClanOfNone]

Is this a mp only jam? I'd be all over a campaign. Even cooler if they had separate campaigns for the US and VC but I dunno if anyone would have the balls for that.

 

[StueyDuck]

It looks great

But nothing is ever gonna capture how great BF vietnam was... pressing 0 and picking a tune on the radio is still such a fun mechanic

MP only and it's very much leaning into milsim territory rather than something like Battlefield.

I'm coming for you console players and there's nothing you can do. Beware of trees and bushes speaking vietnamese.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Love HLL and really enjoying this beta but wow am I getting a lot of shimmer from the foliage at times

wish they would do another Vietnam game

I will defeat you by not logging in to the fight.

 

[Sybrix]

The game runs like complete dog shit.

I'm playing with a 3080, and its 20fps spikes.

Game won't be playable for at least 1 year after release.

I turned it off it looks much better

 

[Luipadre]

I turned it off it looks much better

Weird, that shouldnt be the case

 

[GudOlRub]

The visibility is terrible, so much foliage that the enemies almost become indistinguishable, I love it. It's also quite pretty.
The game runs like absolute dogshit though and I have a beefy PC, they really need to optimize this or it'll flop for sure.

 

[Luipadre]

Tried it, sadly its janky af. Framerate is all over the place, lots of graphical bugs aswell and the controller aiming is just as shit as hell let loose. Looks like the trend of milsim games being jank af continues

Next stop is Wardogs, that one looks great

 

[hououinkyouma00]

I completely forgot about the open beta until I got an email this morning. I'll try it out.

I can't imagine playing a milsim on console/controller. These games are very much PC games.

Nothing wrong with that, the control scheme is actually great, but the aiming sucks, because you have to use aim acceleration otherwise its slow af and there are no curve settings.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

I quite after a single match. The state it's in right now seems unplayable.

No matter what I did I got maybe 60fps max even with FG enabled (I'm on a 5600x/4070S). It defaulted to a mix of high/epic but even after putting it on Low, DLSS Performance, FG set to High I still was in the 40s most of the time.

 

[StueyDuck]

ooof....

I liked HLL, just tried the demo and this thing isnt up to scratch.

 

[TwinB242]

I enjoyed the mechanics in the tutorial but then I joined an actual match and it was a pretty miserable experience. Constantly spawning, moving a few feet, and then almost immediately dying. Enemies seemed to be camping both spawn points I tried, but both the directional audio for gunfire and the visibility are SO bad (legit the worst i've seen in a shooter) that its impossible to tell where they are. To top it off the performnace was terrible with frequent dips into the 30s (and there seems to be no FSR support? Seriously??)

Maybe one day it'll be decent but for now its an easy skip. All sights set on Wardogs now.

 

[dronearm]

not playing unless I can impale a yankee pig dog on my nearly empty toothpick jar.

 

[Ishma3L]

delete wrong thread

 

[BennyBlanco]

Looks like Nvidia will be making love to this game
