    Excellent content, the Rao section was brilliant. You’re getting bloody dangerous with Crawford too, who needs a Wildcat right?! Thanks for the content, Haven isn’t really clicking for me and I agree with what you said it’s poorly designed. Can feel you want to say more but you’re being nice 😅
    I agree with what you’re saying about the Wildcat not having APS, it really should.

    First and foremost, that was a lovely montage of pigeon take downs to start things up so hats off to you on that front ^^
    As a Sundance main, I’m still heartbroken over dice taking away a c5 so I suppose I’ll have to fall into the engineer role more as well as Rao. Rao certainly shines when you’re running as a squad and communicating, otherwise berries just have no idea what to do 9 times out of 10 (at least in my experiences)
    Haven’t still just… it just doesn’t do it for me. I can appreciate the “close quarters” vibe of the map but I think the perpetual chaos is what throws me off. Too much concentration in what feels like a very small area without much of anything to speak of on the perimeters. I’ve gotten some flak for my negative review of Haven but it’s a hill I’ll die on: This Just Ain’t It
    Brilliant video as always that I’m sure will enhance a lot of people’s experiences ❤
    Hmmm… 3 RPG Crawfords and a Rao sounds spicy.. 🤔

    • @timelessgamer_UK
      @timelessgamer_UK  9 месяцев назад

      Rao squads are excellent fun - almost as fun as having 4 Lis players together 😅 there’s absolutely no way you can Rao effectively without discord & focused players.
      I don’t like Haven I’m just putting a brave face on it. I said in the vid it’s a poor design and you saw my comments elsewhere. But, we all know it so I figured just try and stay somewhat positive.
      Yeah the RPG work was fun, I swear I spent most of my time downing those buggers because nobody else was!!

    @marzipandan767 9 месяцев назад +4

    Great work man! I think you are completely correct about C on Haven. Also providing some very valuable advice about targeting buildings which I don't think a lot of people would naturally think of!
    Right now, my concern with the map is the difficulty backcapping, which typically leads to games being very onsided. I think they should put some light transport vehicles in to help promote that. Maybe some quad bikes.

    • @timelessgamer_UK
      @timelessgamer_UK  9 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks as always! I loathe this map, but enough people have complained so I figured I’d try to tone it done a little (I did have to call it poorly designed though, because it is). In all my matches so far, the round is decided in the first two minutes. Once we’ve taken C1 and a flank Objective, we sit on top of them in front of their spawn objective and just don’t let them out. Anyone who does break through is alone / few in number and get mopped up by the rest. It’s a poor map, shit design and recycled uninspiring visuals. I’ve stopped playing the Haven rotation & gone back to regular BF.
      Why the hell is Dice pushing the Nightbird too? Surely they’re aware that it’s hugely divisive & many of us detest it. This map is the worst of everything I know about BF. There, I’ve said it!!

  • @krazyknul

    Your discord notifications really got me Good explaination on Haven about the C1 control. It really is crucial to have that flag under control. And just lovely to see you and your squad taking out the helicopters, i love it! Works surprisingly good! I finally learned what causes full HP Helicopters to burst into flames just now. So someone just hacked them. I never knew this. So thanks for that! 👍 Good Video timless!

      Thanks for the compliments, I'm really glad people are enjoying the channel -- if you just want to unlock vehicle gear then go into solo for an hour with a strong cup of tea and burn down AIs, you'll unlock the gear super fast. To actually level up in terms of skill / familiarity, get into the 128 rounds and start as many vehicle fights as you can. Also run Engineer so you can get experience on how to take them down. Remember -- front armour is thickest, so where possible don't show your sides to an enemy. At the same time, go for theirs! Other than that it's practice practice practice.@@owengutierrez8689

    Another great vid as always :). Have wanted to squad up with Rao/soflam/engineers for ages. Not many people want to do it unfortunately. Not enough XP in it for the super sweats. Lol. I love playing Rao with soflam...doesn't net many points but it can be satisfying. I'll have to join you at some stage and have a bit of a fun.

    • @timelessgamer_UK
      @timelessgamer_UK  9 месяцев назад +2

      It would be great to team up - XP past a point in this game doesn’t really mean anything anyway, it’s all about gameplay. I’ll happily go Rao any time provided someone is going to take advantage. Whilst in my opinion the changes in season 6 to Rao were a little too far (such as no longer shutting off weapons or cooldowns), he’s still great. It’s a good answer to a team dominating the skies. Even better of you can have 2 Raos with their engineers covering both sides of the map. Literally nothing any pilot can do if 4 people work together like that.

    Haven.. if you're on foot.. too many windows.. too many levels... too many angles. My twitch and second-sense reflexes are simply not good enough to sty alive for long on this map. Something I enjoyed on Redacted was the reduced angles and camping options which felt like a cleaner playing experience.

      I don’t like Haven either, I’m trying to stay positive and make what I can of it, but I won’t be making any further content on it. I’ve said all I’ve got to say, it’s a confusing map for the reasons you say. There’s just too many angles to get hit from, so it’s impossible to make a reasonable plan unless you’re in a vehicle. I don’t like it (as I say just trying to be positive & keeping my negative thoughts out the video proper).

    Another poignant video. Well done.
    I play on Xbox (cross play). That coupled with the fact that I am past my prime regarding twitch response makes me a great candidate for supportive gameplay. Luckily that's always been my bag. So, it does the heart good to see content centered around that.
    This game is made for coordinated team play. And it seems there is an aweful lot of players who ignore that in favor of having a solo experience. Dare I say, a "CoD mentality". For, me -- that selfish attitude is pervasive and many times ruins the experience.
    At any rate, your most important point in this video, for me, is to find friends to squad up with. Because solo queue = sad queue 😂.
    I love repairing, healing, setting up spawn beacons, taking out vehicles, and so on. So, if anyone out there is looking for a support player as a teammate, hit me up!

      Everything is found as normal, but it might be you haven’t noticed the new vehicle select button sequence in season 7? On PC you cannot just click on the cog / gear icon, you now need to right click it. Other than that nothing has changed - let me know.
