  • Battlefield 2042's Littlebird chopper is officially classed as a "transport" but with some practice - and some teamwork - this thing harvests infantry and can really help lock down a point! Here are some of my favorite highlights from the beta as I got some practice in with these bad boys. Also, shout out to Chris the Bot and our selection of Davids.

    I hated this thing on last gen consoles. there was one guy tearing everyone a new one and spawn killing our tanks in the spawn. I will admit i envy anyone who used these with little trouble. the Helicopters look so much fun

      Bf 3 I spent a lot of time practicing in the coop mission with the apache. It also helps to change you heli controls for the sticks. Make it so that the tilt left or right is one stick and the pitch is another stick

    Don't sleep on the transports, they're actually really, really good gunships, especially the russian one, if you have people crewing the three gun seats. I had some randos stick with me in one and we were utterly dominating the ground with it. Unlike previous games the transports have a gunner seat with an explosive autocannon to work with so the skill floor for making them killing machines is a lot lower for randos.

      But the pilot can't do anything, but position himself and watch, as the passengers harvest all the kills? This is really bad game design IMO, this was already a bad feature in Battlefield 3 and 4 but here it's worse as both the Osprey and the Hind are such beautiful and cool vehicles with a lot of fire power.

    • @shadow7988
      @shadow7988 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@solidzack I do agree, but this is ultimately a transport at the end of the day. Personally, rather than a focus on kills, I'd like to see a bigger point incentive for people spawning and ejecting out of transports, especially if they do it near or within the bounds of an objective. The maps are massive now and transports are going to be more important than ever with 64 people on each team. I think it's ability to kill isn't a big deal, personally, it's more of an awkwardly nice cherry on top. The bigger crime is that it's better at it's job than the ACTUAL gunship and it's terrible as all hell rockets and cannon.

      @@shadow7988 even then, where's the fun in just flying from objective to objective? The little bird can already do this and more. I'm pretty sure this is the reason people will misuse them as taxis, points alone aren't enough to motivate peoole to fly this seriously and help out gunners to shoot targets. One fix would be to grant them the ability to stay in place when switching to gunner mode so you can switch to tge gunner seat yourself when it isn't occupied already, although the guns would need to get a range nerf in that case to prevent sky camping. But this should only be allowed for the transports, NOT for the attack helicopters as that would make things busted rather fast

    • @shadow7988
      @shadow7988 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@solidzack I'd argue the issue isn't that people can't kill with it, it's that people can't farm and progress their levels in it so it's literally a waste of time. Points aren't just numbers on the screen, after all, they have a meta effect on your long term gameplay. If you give people some sort of incentive other than generic dopamine from kills it will at least get people to consider using transports for something other than flinging a single soldier across the map and leaving everyone else behind. The maps in 2042 are going to be bigger than any before so transports HAVE to have some sort of incentive or the game isn't going to work. Personally, I'd argue they need their own tech tree/unlocks.

      @@shadow7988 i mean yeah, if the game instructed me to transport squads I'd be down. Imagine a squad leader being able to order a transport chopper to their location and then the nearest transport pilot gets the order to land, pick the entire squad up and fly to a certain area. If I were tasked by the game to land and pick up teammates I'd totally be down for it. It could also transport supplies and health so it acts similar to the cavalry from Battlefield 1.
      Other than that I'd need more features as the pilot other than hovering around aimlessly and ejecting flares from time to time.

    You are a beast. Pretty sure I saw you flying inside under that rocket during the open beta. Sadly never got to try the air vehicles. Will be interesting to see what this game looks like in about a year, notably with customized servers. For now, I much prefer other massive FPS like Planetside 2, Squad, Hell Let Loose, etc.

      Yeah I felt the same, all the vehicles were an absolute dog shit joke and a total non-threat unless you just sat there in the open waiting for death. The fact that anyone, regardless of class, can carry AT and AA on them now makes it even worse. Only remotely useful vehicles were the little bird and transport helis because of their sheer firepower, and even then, the little bird needs absolute joker-tier amounts of rockets or minigun bullets just to score individual kills, and it's borderline useless against any vehicle other than other helicopters.
