I play pew pew shooty games at a slightly above average level, and often self impose stupid challenges I can't actually succeed at

Scratching my head at the announcement of removing the directional indicator for lock ons. As usual with DICE, it's vague, so we don't know yet if it's just the stinger and igla, or if it's all the missiles, and we also don't know if it applies to just the lock, or also when a missile is fired. If it's just the soldier missiles, that's fine I guess, but if it's all the missiles, this is really dumb, and takes a ton of information away from you as for what's even shooting at you.

There's like 50 things locking you at any given time, and not knowing how many people are locking on to you is just questionable, and I have to ask as always with this stuff, what is the point of this? If it's to hide the people firing them, there's still a vapor trail from the rocket you can follow, so farmers are still going to kill people firing these right after they shoot, it just feels like another lowest common denominator change taking info away from pilots to make it more likely they get caught off guard.

This as usual will hurt jets the most, seeing as you have such a small window of protection for flares, you use the indicator to judge how far the person shooting is, so you know how long to wait and use your flares, an option you will no longer have, and will now just be guesswork. All of it strikes me as a cope change made because BF reddit is mad (as always) about lock ons sucking, and DICE (Who don't fly things) are just throwing a dart with a blindfold on hoping they can make a largely unhelpful but annoying change that pleases the masses so they can say they tried something.

Keep getting recommended videos from BF creators who are playing and talking about the MW4 Beta, and I'm just like, why though? Views I guess? DMZ might be neat, but multiplayer COD has been in the toilet for years now, so I just don't get it. I'd rather spend 24 hours straight playing exclusively jets on the nightmare that was the Season 2 Igla-bug-pocalypse then touch modern COD multiplayer. In case it wasn't clear, no, I won't be making anything on the MW4 beta lmao

BAHAHAHAHAAH, guess who was right? No jet loadouts for anything but the new ones come the 18th.... what a mess. Who wants to take me up on a bet that they don't fix the flare bug either? :P

I'll be honest, I kind of resigned myself to expecting my currency to be deleted for good once they fixed this, but they didn't. I give DICE and EA a lot of (well deserved) crap, but I also want to give credit when I can, and this is one of those small things I'd never be able to properly fit into a video and have it make sense lol. Next stop, Jet Loadouts in season 8! :P

So I'm not crazy, they forgot to add the C-Ram changes they mentioned in the blog a week back to the patch notes released today right? Not shaking the "DICE doesn't care about aircraft" allegations any time soon lmao

There's a special place in hell for whoever made the Jeep XP requirements the same as tanks and helicopters...

Probably not gonna make a video covering the new BF6 Roadmap, since, well it's 6 minutes, you can literally just watch it yourself. I will take this opportunity to say we're officially getting a server browser!................... That we already have? Buzzwords gotta buzzword I guess, and people are eating it up, because battlefield community I suppose but like the browser is literally on the featured page when you launch the game up. It IS their fault for launching with 30 HZs servers, but it's not EA or DICE's fault all people want to use it for is boosting and cheating lmao. Also not thrilled about 3/4 "new" maps coming in the next 2 seasons are remakes of maps I've already played hundreds if not thousands of times, but wtv. At least the rest of the stuff looks neat. Feel free to leave your bandwagon hate since idgaf about the browser :)

My weekly reads "Get 80 kills or assists as Engineer" I get 80+ kills in a helicopter..... no progress. The class icon next to the challenge is the Recon emblem. Get a kill as Recon, check the challenge.... 1/80

Battlefield is So-Bek baby!

In case it wasn't clear, this channel has been totally repurposed. I didn't want to go make another channel for my stream VODs, so I just changed some stuff around here, and considering that this has been dead for so long, I didn't think it'd be too huge of a deal. If you enjoy the VODs, cool, if not, well, there wasn't anything going on here anyways.
