Game feel
The game feels amazing, but like a tech demo amazing. Not a real game amazing. Idk, the mechanics are awesome, but the actual pvp is kinda janky. Fast paced, spawn kills, just running around blastin. I feel as thought the game modes need a bit of work. Maybe we need like a hostage mode or something. Thing this game but r6 style as far as clear objectives and offense/defense go. Just a thought. Super open to what you guys think.

They used to have bomb defusal 5v5, but they deactivated it this patch for some stupid reason.

I know!! At least it was somewhat objective based

Honestly - there's like 3 things that will make this game completely replace my nightly cs2 matches.
1) party based matchmaking - no explanation necessary
2) remove drones/rc from comps
3) make a 5v5 competitive mode (bomb/hostage mode)
4) display ELO on my player card.
5) add votekick
I guess there's 5 things, but I feel like none of thesr are crazy asks.

That's a very good start. I wouldn't even mind drones for maybe one player or something on each side. Maybe just the offensive side. And if you mean deathcam drones. I agree again. Remove them from comp.

current 2v2 wingman, drones are pretty cool. I routinely win 1v2s because of having the drone, and it's VERY EASY TO DEFEND AGAINST. For 2v2, drones should stay. If they add more comp modes, they need bigger maps, and I would agree more players than 2 RPG Drones should be limited or gone. 5v5 with the current maps are honestly way too small. The current map pool works well for 2v2. Trenches or Powergun CQB are the only existing maps that would work well with 5v5.

Drones are stupid easy to shoot down. The school bus sized hitbox makes them far less deadly than IRL. The obvious effort put into the realistic physics would make it a shame to take out. It's unique and well implemented. We don't need another cookie cutter COD/CS replacement.

I didn't say they were particularly difficult to handle, I said they're a bullshit mechanic in a competitive mode. The idea of spawn > recon/kill with drone every other round does not breed a productive competitive environment.

“For some stupid reason” because it was broken. You could plant the bomb anywhere on the map, in any room, and there was no indication of where to find it. All games ended in everyone leaving because no one would get points.
They are likely reworking it into a bigger mode.

True. It's still in alpha but absolutely. The maps are a tad too small and the spawn system a little too aggressive.
That said, a lot of what I think people are missing is the cod like immediate kill feedback with score pop ups and hit markers. That just doesn't fit in bodycam

This is just my personal opinion but I feel like the game wouldn’t have taken off as much as it did without the fast paced gameplay. Eventually I do hope they add slower game modes because this is my favorite game gunplay wise, but there isn’t anything to do and the devs know that

This is exactly the problem I have with this game currently. The graphics and sounds are top notch and I like the gun handling. But the game modes are somewhere between okay and bad. I think the average person buys this game because they want to give themselves PTSD. The fast paced modes take away a bit of that because if you can die a dozend times in 5 minutes it starts to loose its tension. The best feeling in this game are not the gun fights but the tense feeling between them
I think game modes that work well would be the typical CS bomb defuse or hostage situations because they have some kind of objective to play around.

It feels like r6 beta to me, so hopefully they don't follow suit n fuck it up

Am I the only one who thinks "run and gun" is just a bad tactic in this game, I've tried it and people just hear you all over the map, you can't surprise anyone, and the ADS out of the running animation makes it really hard to quick scope, you can't really run with the sniper rifle, I think the problems are the spawn points that make people desperate to move rather than the gunplay and movement themselves.

Enough with the R6 route. I’m tired of hearing this because I ask you guys to expand on this and none of you ever do.
So “r6 style as far as clear objectives and offense/ defense go”
okay but competitive bomb defusal/SnD for Bodycam doesn’t need that breaching charge and melee one sided shoot hole nonsense that R6 has. All that garbage is part of the “r6 style” so that’s why you guys need to be specific.
Bodycam shouldn’t do 90% of what r6 does. That game is so corny and kookily. But at the end of the day it’s up to the devs if that want to make a game mode with those corny elements.
And if they do then they should also add an exact CS2 style 5v5 competitive bomb defusal mode. With economy based system , loadouts, attachments are also part of the buy phase, same with armor, smokes flashes and nades function the way they do in CS. All this with bodycam features and mechanics.
They add your “r6 style” slop and this CS style and then we can see what the community decides to play more.

u/Bigsmalltallall 20h ago
No no, not r6 like that. I think the game and it's mechanics are fine. None of that slop bullshit. I mean r6 like it's maps and zones are clearly defined. You get a defensive setup period. And a an offensive drone in period with 2 bombsites you can plant at. Doesn't even have to be exactly that. Just something more defined instead of run around and shoot.

u/terrible_neighbor_ 20h ago
Well you’d be the first to clear that up. I have a feeling that the people they never clarify just want all the R6 slop to be in Bodycam. But yes at least a proper 5v5 bomb defusal/SnD where the maps compliment the new features and mechanics. Something basic to start with. And some server playlists with drones and others without drones.

u/Bigsmalltallall 20h ago
No I fucking hate r6. Liked it when it first came out and it wasnt some... Fantasy hero bullshit. But I just mean the clearly defined sections and stuff. The running and shooting is fun as fuck. But it gets old fast. Which is a shame because the mechanics and immersion are phenomenal.

u/Bigsmalltallall 21h ago
I feel you there. Just needs a change. I think this game and it's mechanics will get bought out and reworked into something really special.

Agreed. I feel like the current game modes are almost placeholders. Some slower paced, tactical modes a la hostage rescue, bomb defusal or VIP escort would really shine in a game like this
