Ducks are coming to Battlefield V

Sorry, not these type of geese. Even higher geese! In a Battlefield first, as of Battlefield V‘s next patch you’ll be capable of dodge behind cowl if you’re in a tank’s high gunner slot. It’s a kind of minor tweaks that would wind up having a serious influence, encouraging extra individuals to hop into bullet-spewing dying machines. I think about you’ll nonetheless get sniped loads, which I’m high-quality with because the particular person often doing the sniping.

That’s the information, just about. Now, I’ve obtained some beef with Origin and bugs.

The information comes by way of a Dice producer’s response to this Reddit post. I can’t discover a date for when the patch will land: they might be saving it up for the primary massive Tides of War update on December 4th, or it might be within the subsequent few days.

Right, now I wish to complain about some stuff that’s come up since my review. Firstly, in a fiendish little bit of orchestration that cunningly meant they by no means obtained talked about in Wot I Think, I’ve now brushed up towards a good few bugs. One was with mounted turrets, in truth, the place my hand would cup empty air after I tried to zoom in and I couldn’t see the place I used to be aiming. There’s additionally a menu that flat out crashes the game in the event you open it, reported on by Kotaku here.

Both of these are fleeting irritations in comparison with the continuing shonkiness of Origin. I had a irritating half hour the place an replace froze on completion the opposite day – googling finally revealed it was in all probability nonetheless downloading stuff and simply not telling me. Worse although, is that Origin is decided to damage friendship. It’s irritating that as an increasing number of emphasis will get positioned on squad play, truly attempting to play with pals can throw up roadblock after roadblock.

This might be as a result of I used to be utilizing a press account, however the different night time it flat out refused to let me add any pals. This goes again to Battlefield bugs moderately than Origin, however my good friend additionally tells me that he and his pal obtained kicked out of their squad and onto completely different groups when queuing collectively.

I do hope this patch fixes extra than simply overly-vulnerable turret positions.
