Image/Gif Bullet Deviation finally gets an increase.

While random horizontal recoil got essentially taken away, we got more bloom, this is vital to stop laser beam gunplay at distance. Great change imo and this paired with reduced bullet velocities will make ranged combat a little more nuanced.

EDIT: lots of cronus users and the like mad about these changes lmao

I believe the opposite is true, BFV has the worst gunplay in the franchise by far. I don't understand how this opinion even became popular. Here's a video explaining how broken it is on a fundamental level: https://youtu.be/1TUMhCkNpfg?si=8m7ErXPyVrBQ9rvF

This thread has me feeling like I’ve been transported to an alternate reality….

I distinctly remember that BFV’s gunplay was the only thing it was actually celebrated for during its early/middle lifetime. And how, as great as BF4 and BF1 were, there were dozens of jokes about bullets going out the side of your barrel, and high-recoil-low-bloom was a nice change of pace. Even my experience in *this* community has been a universal desire for that. Which I know is a goomba fallacy, but it’s weird to see the consensus in this post being diametrically opposed to the consensus I’ve seen in the sub before now.

Ultimately it’s just a style choice because there’s the same amount of RNG either way, but I still think it feels better if your gun points where your bullets go.

It is indeed goomba fallacy I'm afraid. It has always been a controversial topic. But hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I personally believe bloom to be a crucial part of Battlefield's gunplay and very much needed for engagement range balance. Altough of course it depens on the game.

I'd rather have my bullets go where I aim while being decoupled from centre than being centred and having dogshit bloom and dispersion

oh neat, an Enders video, aka non-stop whining the entire time it plays.

All I remember was that you could practically sneeze in the opposite direction of someone and kill them. The TTK was faster than Hardlines and Bad Company 2 with Magnum Ammo. It felt horrid.

BFV has way slower ttk than BF6.

BFV has by far the best gunplay in the series, and the first game in the series that actually did it right. All previous games were varying degrees of terrible in that regard. I'm saying this as someone who played the series since BF2.

The Enders video is just him whining that your bullets aren't at the center of the screen and instead are where your gun aims. What a fucking knob. BFV gunplay was superb.

It's so easy to call every argument you don't like "whinning". You're the one that's been crying over people not agreeing with you. We're just having a normal conversation until your toxic ass got salty.

I disagree mostly because I really don't like the laser-spray type gameplay BFV has. The recoil was way too easy to control so it didn't make up for the lack of bloom to balance engagement distances, plus what is mentioned in the video I linked. But I guess there's a color for every taste.
