That doesn't stop the dropping prone to the left, crouch sprinting, and entire prone system from being excellent parts of the gameplay

It's not Cod Omnidiving. Just dropping prone to the left or right instead of in place

[versed token]

Back in my day we didn't need 60 forms of proning

[frosty mountain]

Didn't play V, couldn't tell you.

[pulsar parcel]

If we didn't do things purely because we didn't need them 20 years ago, we wouldn't even have domesticated horses

[nimble bridge]

BF2 with dolphin diving

[old anchor]

No

When

[mossy marten]

BFV Slide > OmniProning Campers all day everyday

[woeful sluice]

less is more

[versed token]

Genuinely don't feel like back/side proning added anything of value to the gameplay

[mossy marten]

last scene, the person behind the RPG can be seen sliding (you can tell because they're leaned back and when slide is done, they transition to a crouch walk). hard to see, need to watch frame by frame

[nimble bridge]

Backproning is great for tricking enemy into thinking you are dead

[frosty mountain]

It's very simple and you people are making it way to complicated.
We don't want COD movements, I want to feel the screen in my players face! 😤

[pulsar parcel]

One of my favorite memories is always sprinting down a bridge with 2 guys, seeing the mg42 start to fire and diving to the right behind a sandbag wall, then turning back to see the other 2 get shredded as i listened to the bullets zip past. Very immersive

[frosty mountain]

BF 3, 4 & maybe 1 had it!
End of class!♥️🪖💦

[old anchor]

I don't think that's a slide

[versed token]

Only when the visibility is complete garbage

[old anchor]

It looks more like one of the animations where the characters are ducking and reacting to gunfire and stuff

They lean in weird ways

[feral garden]

Even watching the 4K video frame by frame, its an insane stretch to say that clip confirms anything

[stray veldt]

it was also a good way of actually being able to deploy your bipod in bfv 🙂

[nimble bridge]

BF had controllable slide before cod

[wispy dagger]

You should have to be sprinting for a few seconds before being able to slide

Instead of the constant sliding like V

[stray veldt]

BFV's bipod deployment system was so rough

[wispy dagger]

I didn’t think it was that bad

[pulsar parcel]

It got a lot better later

[frosty mountain]

Bc of the stupid running mechanics

[stray veldt]

for mmg's it was, even after they fixed it a bit

[wispy dagger]

I hope something similar returns so you can setup MGs

I hope fortifications return as well

[stray veldt]

agreed

[versed token]

Surely they can design maps around fortifications

[pulsar parcel]

Deployable AT and MG positions linked with the fortifications

[mossy marten]

either way, looks more like a slide than the crouch walking that was shown in the 4th scene
not like they're gonna not add a slide lmao

[feral garden]

Small BF YT channels do really be desperate for content to be trying to confirm anything from that video.

[frosty mountain]

Keep it to the free to play!!

[feral garden]

I also think slide will be there, but people are really desperate to make content where there is none hehe

[old anchor]

Only time I could accept sliding is if it's locked to specific surfaces

Like mud

[pulsar parcel]

Content and controversy

[stray veldt]

set positions for mg's makes you for an easy target for snipers tho

[mossy marten]

[nimble bridge]

I want to slide while flying a helicopter

[frosty mountain]

Seriously though! The main game shouldn't have you sliding six foot around the dang corner!

[pulsar parcel]

They always have since bf1942. Still should be there

[mossy marten]

and imma slide the 6ft and then start jumpshotting

[stray veldt]

in bfv we had the mmgs though, and finally they were useful

[nimble bridge]

I hope they implement g slide

[nimble bridge]

Nah MMGs are useless

[stray veldt]

not on breakthrough

[nimble bridge]

MMGs are free kills for snipers

[stray veldt]

only if you do it wrong

[frosty mountain]

🤣 right! With a no scope on the dome! This BATTLEFIELD is going to be a COD haven!

[mossy marten]

put some teflon on the butt of the pants so it slides better

[pulsar parcel]

Alternatively: knee pads

[mossy marten]

me being a BF main who doesn't like CoD

[frosty mountain]

Last one I liked was Big Red One♥️🪖🤣

[nimble bridge]

Jumpshotting should be in every FPS

BF3 had it

[pulsar parcel]

I play airsoft from time to time and see people sliding on concrete quite a bit. Asphalt and tarmac ain't that different

[nimble bridge]

You couldn’t shoot while in mid air but you could once you landed

[pulsar parcel]

Jump shotting shouldn't be in any FPS. Or at least it should have 0 recoil control

[frosty mountain]

Put 80-100LBS of gear on and do that crap!
No way bro!

[grizzled crystal]

No SBMM, that's all I'm asking

[pulsar parcel]

Adrenaline is one hell of a drug

[frosty mountain]

Please, were done with the non realistic stuff! Can't we all just agree to that??

[covert nest]

You trolling or are you serious because it's just a game.

[frosty mountain]

I want to feel like I'm in war and crying into my headset!💦💦💦

[pulsar parcel]

Serious on that one. Jumpshotting is ridiculous and the least necessary "skill" to develop.

[nimble bridge]

You can slide in a war

[nimble bridge]

You can jumpshot in a war

[covert nest]

Just play six siege.

[mossy marten]

Or milsims

[covert nest]

Battlefield isn't meant for you if you're complaining about people ultimately inconsequential movement.

[frosty mountain]

Go slide around with 80lbs of gear weight and tell me how you really feel. 🤣

[versed token]

I wonder why there are so many people that think Battlefield is a milsim

Or is trying to be one

[nimble bridge]

WW2 soldiers had no gear, they should be able to slide all day

Yet people claimed it’s le unrealistic lol

[mossy marten]

Can always ask the all chat in those 1000% damage portal servers

[hybrid karma]

I've been doing some brainstorming. If Dice is just in the “pre-alpha” phase and want to involve us as a community, I don't think a 2025 release is realistic. What have they been doing for 4 years?

[frosty mountain]

The best part of 4 was it was both. The mix of yin and yang!

[pulsar parcel]

Jumpshotting is some 12 year old kid standing behind a wall with their sniper rifle, jumping and quickscoping you from 200m. Asking for that not to be part of the game is unreasonable?

[mossy marten]

Bf4 was never a milsim in any stretch

[versed token]

Lol

[nimble bridge]

Jumpshotting is just jumping in a fight

[pulsar parcel]

Shooting while jumping specifically

[nimble bridge]

Throws away aim assist

[frosty mountain]

Those 🐒, a one tap with the smallest gun in the game for 1000M is skill bro!

[nimble bridge]

That’s why it’s useless in CoD because aim assist will track you, BF’s aim assist is more normal that’s why it’s useful

[pulsar parcel]

If it's not accurate I don't care, but it shouldn't be viable to shoulder fire a .50bmg accurately at 200m while in the air

[mossy marten]

It's one of the things that ruined portal.
Portal 2.0 should have 0 damage modifiers

[nimble bridge]

I’ve never seen anyone do a jumpshot from 200 meters, people do it in close range

[pulsar parcel]

CoD6 doesn't have maps long enough. Saw it in MW3, BF2042, BFV, BF1, etc.

[feral garden]

lol, why would you want to limit what portal can do.

[pulsar parcel]

He hates when other people have fun

[versed token]

Jumping disrupts firing in 2042

[pulsar parcel]

I do too btw

[covert nest]

There's an actual brief pause when you jump and fire. Jump shotting has been a feature since whenever the fuck people grew a brain (so sometime before bf3)

[versed token]

Or well makes it really inaccurate

[covert nest]

Yeah it's really only viable in getting a surprise shot and or hip firing point blank.

[nimble bridge]

I’ve never seen anyone do that in BF either

[frosty mountain]

You can have the Mods but the farming server can be shut down consistently they just don't. They heard me saying the F word and took my chat off for a week. They know when they see farming servers

[feral garden]

"I dont like higher damage, so others should not be able to have it in modes they make!"

Just dont join servers with modified damage. Solve it by having non stock damage servers show a custom mode icon on the browser.

[winter viper]

Nothing wrong with jump shooting. To say otherwise is a skill issue or lack thereof

[pulsar parcel]

I won't dispute that tbh. I never bothered to learn the skill

[frosty mountain]

Sometimes they find a real good Hardcore server!?

[versed token]

It's not like it's some high skill thing

[nimble bridge]

Trusting BF community to make good servers is a mistake in itself I legit saw one Redacted 24/7 server, rest of them are Afghanistan milisim

[feral garden]

OK, whats the issue with that?

[covert nest]

Shame that they're the biggest thing that litter portal and there isn't much asides from it.

[nimble bridge]

Hardcore is trash

[frosty mountain]

Not {SWEATS ANONYMOUS}

[pulsar parcel]

It's easy enough to have a transcript running on chat and pick up on profanity filter words. Picking out a style of server is a very different issue

[feral garden]

You control the buttons you press. Dont like it, dont join it. But dont try to take fun away from others because of an opinion

[winter viper]

Same thing with the slide mechanics in BFV. It brought a nice skill gap. The most basic player could use it and duck behind cover to avoid being shot, And those of us that mastered it where no bullet could hit you lol

[mossy marten]

Shhh, you'll scare them

[pulsar parcel]

On the other hand, you look ridiculous as hell

[covert nest]

Who cares.

You live.

[winter viper]

^

[pulsar parcel]

Literally everyone who cared about immersion in the game

[feral garden]

"Movement god video ensues"

Cringe

lol

[tight hare]

Hello

[winter viper]

Movement is a key point in a arcade fps...js

[feral garden]

Hopefully the abusable slide from BFV doesnt return, or the V2 version from BF1

[winter viper]

Hope it does

[frosty mountain]

Slide 2 foot ONLY!

[pulsar parcel]

Yep, and BF isn't a full arcade fps. Cod is. BF isn't full realism. Arma and Squad are. BF has always occupied the niche between Cod's arcadeyness and Arma's realism

[nimble bridge]

BF1 slide is… trash

It’s a respawn button

[mossy marten]

[feral garden]

To each their own.

[covert nest]

If I took a shot for every person that spoke about some random thing being immersion breaking I'd be dead today.

[winter viper]

Semi tactical Arcade shooter

[frosty mountain]

After 1 it turn into an arcade shooter we do not want that again

That type of attitude is what ruined the title

[pulsar parcel]

Agreed on this

[feral garden]

Abusable features should not exist IMO. But thats just me. You just self reported that you abused it to not die. Hopefully the new DICE will see the light and not allow abusive mechanics.

[frosty mountain]

That type of attitude is what brought all the codsuckers from across the pond

[nimble bridge]

Jumping is immersion breaking, sliding is immersion breaking, hipfiring is immersion breaking, strafing is immersion breaking.

[winter viper]

rendezooks a jet and flied away

ItS NoT fUlly a Arcade gAme

[nimble bridge]

Dolphin dives in BF2, claims it’s a milisim

[old anchor]

Just copy paste BF3 mechanics with some updates

Boom done

[pulsar parcel]

BF2 didn't have dolphin dives

[mossy marten]

C4 launches vehicles
Not an arcade shooter

[nimble bridge]

It did

[pulsar parcel]

Maybe the crappy console version

[frosty mountain]

Besides that do you think these dudes are actually listening to us here??🪖🤣🐒

[pulsar parcel]

Not on PC

[pulsar parcel]

In this chat? I hope not

[winter viper]

Used a game mechanic that Successfully made a skill gap.
Abusing something is like shooting constant flares in BFV so you can xp farm etc

[pulsar parcel]

Rule of cool here. Slide cancelling doesn't look cool

[feral garden]

They nerfed slide for a reason, all im saying

👍

[nimble bridge]

Unnerfed in V

[mossy marten]

And 2042

[nimble bridge]

2042 is nerfed imo

It’s linear

Not controllable

[pulsar parcel]

2042 movement is much closer to BF1 than BFV

[mossy marten]

But compared to bf1 current slide?
Also can go into jump chaining with it

[frosty mountain]

2042 is only 3/4 done🤣

[nimble bridge]

Yeah

[winter viper]

Yet they never removed Zou Zou etc.....mmmmm

[nimble bridge]

Yeah

[pulsar parcel]

wth is zou zou?

[pallid coral]

zouzou and vouzous 😭 holy nostalgia

[covert nest]

Not gonna lie if you can't adapt to the most simplest form of movement like jump shots and sliding on battlefield i doubt your ability to actually do something meaningful towards your team.

[pallid coral]

movement "exploits"

[nimble bridge]

Zouzou vouzou and rouzou siblings

[winter viper]

A way to break the movement in BF4

[covert nest]

Bf4 had broken movement.

Actual broken movement.

[pallid coral]

you could almost clip into the ground with that if u were fast enough

modern bf4 lobbies with people who know how to do that is honestly super unfun

[pulsar parcel]

What a stupid way to see the world

[winter viper]

Yeah, and someone going to complain about a small slide lol

[nimble bridge]

I hope they make sliding op af

[winter viper]

Same

[pallid coral]

everytime u sprint slide u go 50m

[pulsar parcel]

As if caring about the nonsense movement mechanics 12 year olds love means anything when it comes to situational awareness and paying attention to the team around you

[winter viper]

Be sliding into some mom's DMs

[nimble bridge]

You can go 30m in 2042

[feral garden]

The worst people only want OP slide and movement mechanics so they can clown on casual players.

[nimble bridge]

With bunny hopping

[pallid coral]

tbf, popular bf4 maps are just team deathmatch at a chokepoint where you don't really need a crazy amount of teamwork

u can have hardstyle in ur ears and know how to zouzou and vouzou properly with a slug shotgun or m4 and ull be fine

[winter viper]

Umm yeah. I work 9-5 with 4 kids. F them I want to ruin their day

[nimble bridge]

I don’t want the game to turn to camper’s dream

[feral garden]

Sweat fest clip hunters FTW I guess. /s

[nimble bridge]

If you take away the movement it will be about holding chokepoints

[pallid coral]

that aint boots on ground, that's thighs on ground 👀

now hear me out

[covert nest]

I ain't the one crying dude.

[pulsar parcel]

Hear me out... That's what things like flashbangs and smoke grenades are for

[frosty mountain]

Nobody wants no bunny hopping BS, sliding five to six foot and jumping around like a jackrabbit on four red bulls! Battlefield is the only game I ever play and I've played 2042 since it's came out. Coming from a BF3 and 4 vet we new it was good and did not know what we had♥️💦🪖

[nimble bridge]

Campers will win still

[pallid coral]

32 players aall with access to 1 to 2 grenades each

put those into a chokepoint = explosive spam

[pulsar parcel]

So you don't want mechanics available since bf2?

[covert nest]

Like what you're complaining about movement options in an arcadic title just admit that battlefield isn't meant for you.

[winter viper]

Man you've seen my clips on Twitter, you know how I play

[feral garden]

I have not haha

[pallid coral]

it doesn't matter to me what the past battlefields have cuz i dont live in the past of "bf4 was peak" "but old games have this"

[covert nest]

I'm the fent main

[winter viper]

[covert nest]

Zook did you see my score on frontlines.

[feral garden]

I have no clue who half these EA creator green names are TBH. all of them suddenly became active hear 2 days ago

[covert nest]

Yeah we all suddenly became active.

[winter viper]

I did, you need to calm down

[pallid coral]

maybe their creator discord became read only

[covert nest]

I am the fent main

[pallid coral]

[nimble bridge]

I’m not even the sweatiest player honestly, I still want good movement, my biggest farm was with camping too

[pulsar parcel]

The things you want were only in the 2 most recent games, that many people say don't feel like battlefield.

[pallid coral]

good movement doesn't always mean you need a crazy movement tech and shit

bfv had great movement and it was simple and boots on ground

[covert nest]

People have always been saying things that the game(s) don't feel like battlefield.

[feral garden]

I want a partial skill gap from movement ability...but no so much of a gap that it alienates casual players...or enables abusive movement

[covert nest]

The only reason for the uptick in my view is that they've been fixing the games more than they've been adding content which doesn't allow the games identity to be fully explored.

[nimble bridge]

People still think sliding is OP in V

[pallid coral]

this, plus if the main team diff comes from actual teamplay/squad play then the skill gap of movement abilities shouldn't be crazy high

[pallid coral]

ok if u ignore sliding then

u get my point-

[winter viper]

Right, you want movement grounded enough were you aren't having to try hard enough to hit them....got it 👍

[feral garden]

No real need to act this way TBH. Not the best look the first time you interact with us casuals

[nimble bridge]

Not him but I don’t want omnimovement in BF either, maybe omni running

[pallid coral]

finding cover, positioning urself, knowing where the enemy is all comes into play as well

[feral garden]

Na, omni-movement can go right in the bin

[pulsar parcel]

Just because it reduces your personal skillset it's bad?

Or can you not learn positioning, terrain analysis, and situational awareness?

[pallid coral]

^

[nimble bridge]

People with good movement knowledge will have those skills too though

[winter viper]

It's the same cry argument from BFV when it released. People were mad they couldn't hit their shots when the other person was sliding around and jumping. We get it

[pallid coral]

positioning matters a lot, also finding the right time to engage or disengage, sticking with ur team,etc.

[nimble bridge]

Not like sliding will make you win fights automatically

[pulsar parcel]

They can, but they need and use it less because they don't have to

[pulsar parcel]

Or maybe we just don't want to be playing Cod

[nimble bridge]

If you slide into 3-4 people you will be dead, sliding doesn’t turn you into Flash

[covert nest]

I definitely would like more of an emphasis on map positioning and shit.

[pulsar parcel]

I said less, not 0

[covert nest]

Despite that being still super relevant on the recent games.

So gimme some map tech where i can get sneaky spots

Bf5 had that. 2042 has that.

[latent ingot]

twisted steel my beloved

[pulsar parcel]

BFV was really good with that and the crouch sprinting

[latent ingot]

man i loved climbing up to the top of the bridge
shit was fun

[old anchor]

What are y'alls favorite Battlefield map of all time then?

[pulsar parcel]

Picking where you advanced was more important than how you advanced

[nimble bridge]

Metro

We need another metro remake

[latent ingot]

siege of shanghai and al marj encampment

[nimble bridge]

Or just bring it into portal

[latent ingot]

i can’t decide between both

[pulsar parcel]

Operation Flaming Dart from Battlefield Vietnam

Played that for gotta be at least 1k hours before I had internet

[latent ingot]

or wake island from bf1943 🤑

[covert nest]

Rotterdam because the action is good.

Fast paced action kept shit flowing.

[feral garden]

Hard to say my favorite. I played a lot of BC2 rush...so maps like Port Valdez and Laguna Preza were really great, then in BF3 I loved Grand Bazaar, Firestorm and Damavand peaks. BF4 my fav map was Paracel Storm

[old anchor]

Isla Inocentes from BC2 is one of my favs, that on Rush was so great

I can still vividly see all the tracer darts flying after that Black Hawk during the first points

[feral garden]

Yeah, some epic sniper battles on that map. The hills outside home base to the houses at the back...then that little island to the left you could crouch on 😄

[merry reef]

not a BF without some C4 Jeeps

Or c4 tanks

[covert nest]

Thinking about it a bit thanks to the silence of work I wouldn't mind map tech to allowed for cheeky spots but I hope stuff doesn't turn more defensive than they should if that makes sense.

2042 has a lot of emphasis on position despite what it might seem.

[feral garden]

Maybe on BT. Zero emphasis on Conquest.

There are maybe 2/3 maps that have any actual defensive positions on a flag, that you can actually take cover from when under fire.

[gilded merlin]

Hello beautiful people.

[merry reef]

16v16 so games can be compeditive again vs. large scale camp fest .. a way to server browse again vs. random placement so can't play with clans / friends / groups.. back to bassics.. make bF great again.. ftw 2025

[covert nest]

Thing is that on conquest they're well guarded but also easily flankable.

Breakthrough is more natural.

The new games won't be 16v16 dude.

[merry reef]

16v16 or 32v32

[mossy marten]

at least for Rush it should be

[merry reef]

but this battle royal crap clearly isn't working for BF and hasn't worked

[mossy marten]

BT and CQ can stay at 32v32

[covert nest]

Oh yeah no I won't deny.

[merry reef]

if they do that gain.. bf is dead for good

mark my words

[covert nest]

Certain game modes work with certain playercounts.

20v20 frontlines is super fast paced.

[covert nest]

People have been saying this for ages i heavily doubt.

[merry reef]

kids playing this game never played the good bf games of the past

so have no clue what most of us old folks are talking about

[snow fossil]

Bring back anti-tank class

[covert nest]

Battlefield players have a weird sense of entitlement for playing the older games.

Like I've been playing since bf3. Doesn't make me any more or less special.

[merry reef]

bring back bf4 lol bf3... hell dc mod.. 1942

[covert nest]

So engie.

[merry reef]

bring back BF....

[nimble bridge]

Frontlines should be 40v40 imo

[mossy marten]

anything over 32v32 is meh imho

[snow fossil]

Click to move tv guided missiles

[merry reef]

agree 100%

[covert nest]

I don't even mind 40v40 cause it's just two squads more worth of action for each side.

[merry reef]

If people have never plaeyd bF4 and before.. they don't understand what BF is and can be IMO..

since then they tried to be something they arnt

[cosmic oracle]

maybe some base from Battlefield 2 or Battlefield 2142 (Titans)

[covert nest]

I've played Vietnam and the games have stayed relatively the same. Albeit become more mechanically advanced.

I like mechwarrior 2 and all but there's a reason why I prefer mech 4 and 5 for example.

[worldly turret]

give us 256vs256

[covert nest]

Planetside exists for that.

[merry reef]

lol again. they stay with what they been doing the past 5 years bf is dead

[mossy marten]

[merry reef]

battle Royal is not for BF

[hybrid ridge]

Oh the glorious days of BF2 and 2142 ❤️

[covert nest]

I've said it before and I will preach it to the fucking end.

[mossy marten]

BR is gonna be the third mode (not including portal) so don't be surprised to see it

[covert nest]

If they weren't focused on fixing their rushed ass games because ea got them to release it earlier than it should have then the games would have been more focused and way way better received.

[winter viper]

Give us Rush XL 128p SquidG server with half the fun stuff locked up so it's way boring, but fun to the casuals

[mossy marten]

nah, no 128
128 bad

[covert nest]

I confuse you and squid for some reason.

[mossy marten]

[winter viper]

I swear to MF God bro

[covert nest]

I don't hate 128p but I hate what they've had to sacrifice go get it working.

Dev time, resources, etc.

[winter viper]

I quit doing youtube videos because people kept saying I was stealing squidG content, and I was copying him

And that I looked like him

[covert nest]

Awh

I didn't actually know. I'm sorry.

[winter viper]

It's all good

[covert nest]

How you doing right now?

In general

[gilded merlin]

It doesn't mean you should stop man

You should keep going

[winter viper]

I mean we do look similar but my accent is better lol

[covert nest]

"Squid G but with an accent"

[mossy marten]

you got the better bald head

[covert nest]

"Squid g except i can actually hit my rockets"

[winter viper]

Enjoying life. Loving the switch to PC. Always Zooking

[covert nest]

Hahaha

That's cool

[sudden lodge]

I am not trying to be insulting, but who are you? Kingzooksf

[feral garden]

Can't stand Squids content tbh. The guy seems cool, but all the content feels fake and forced. Clip this, clip that, I just want to watch decent gameplay heh

[covert nest]

I've made some battlefield content but its kinda boring.

[covert nest]

Basically just a dude that's super well known for hitting really good shots.

[winter viper]

Look me up.
On twitter or youtube or twitch

[sudden lodge]

I do

[covert nest]

If I made battlefield content I'd just try to make it funny

Which is the recent theme with mine.

[feral garden]

The BF content I most enjoyed was multiple creators squading up and just having banter.

[gilded merlin]

@winter viper You should start youtube again man.

[covert nest]

Stuff like this I think gets more mileage.

[sudden lodge]

KingZookSF ok I saw one of your videos you hit good with those rockets

[winter viper]

I have one, just haven't posted in a long time. Dextro retweeted my BF4 video a while back

[covert nest]

Though zook has a really unique take on content.

With rocket shots.

Even though no offence you see the same oh my God long shot. To a bunch of random people out there getting into battlefield its a really good way to advertise yourself and the game.

[gilded merlin]

Hey i just got an idea

[mossy marten]

Zook's also not that hard too shoot out of the sky with a retaliatory zook

JK, luv ya bud

[gilded merlin]

Some of us should start a battlefield youtube channel

[covert nest]

I like making terraria and content warning videos.

[sudden lodge]

And now a question I like to ask every couple days,
How long has the queue to register now?
Does anyone know?

[covert nest]

Just clipping the dumb shit my friends say.

[gilded merlin]

Last night it was 1.4 million

Idk what it is now

[sudden lodge]

Sweet Jesus, that triple times more than less time I asked

[gilded merlin]

Ikr xD

I was surprised too xD

[feral garden]

It feels like all the small to midsized BF creators are too competitive with each other. On older games you'd see people play together and make cross audience content. I guess scheduling it these days it pretty tough. Families and other obligations, etc.

Being back the days of Jack Frags, level cap, and matimio vids haha. Could watch 3 separate videos for the perspective of all in the same scenarios. 😂

[gilded merlin]

I always liked watching Jack Frags

I didnt watch the other 2

[strong pier]

Surely a lot of it are bots or something

[merry reef]

BFFS was / still is the best IMO...

[gilded merlin]

I wouldnt be surprised

[merry reef]

Again.. when BF was king

[gilded merlin]

Some of us should start a BF channel.

[merry reef]

before they tried to be something they arn't

[gilded merlin]

Im gonna get the GFX made and such.

[merry reef]

If anyone here has never seen BFFs.. aka Battflefield Friends.. google it. you will not be dissapointed

[gilded merlin]

I loved BFFs.

[sudden lodge]

Matimio is the only one I don’t know

[merry reef]

100% anyone who loved BF does

[gilded merlin]

I could watch BFFs all day every day

[merry reef]

lol me2

[sudden lodge]

Same

[nimble bridge]

I hope next BF will have class balance like 2042, but instead of engineers having LMGs it should be in support class. SMG medics shouldn't exist.

[gilded merlin]

Specialists are not gonna be in the new game

They are going back to normal classes

[ruby iron]

hell yeah where’s the pre order button amirite?!

[strong pier]

and put medics back in assault

[gilded merlin]

We will probably get that around may or june

[covert nest]

You can't say this isn't a battlefield moment at least.

[nimble bridge]

Nah, assault should be like Zain

[gilded merlin]

During all the big game shows and such

[covert nest]

Assault would serve better at AT but i won't lie specialised kill gadgets are fun.

[gilded merlin]

Did that tank get taken up by a tornado xD

[nimble bridge]

Engineer exists as AT, what I meant is Zain's passive though, health regen after each kill

[covert nest]

I know what you meant.

[covert nest]

Nah.

2042 assault specialises at killing.

[gilded merlin]

XD

HOLY SH*T #Battlefield2042

X · Feb 2, 2025, 4:38 AM

[gilded merlin]

Is it more or do choppers look easier to control in 2042

[covert nest]

Jesus dude hahaha

[sudden lodge]

Good shot, always so satisfying

[covert nest]

I personally don't like engineer because you have to sacrifice your weaponry to just take down tanks and as such it lowers the teams ability to kill.

Assault rectified that on bf5 by simply giving them assault rifles.

Oh and semis.

[winter viper]

I only played Assault in BFV

Use to be #1 in world on all platforms for Bazooka kills lol

[covert nest]

I only played support. The guns were fun there. Minus the mmgs.

I remember a guy from my region fucking hating the bazooka.

He would genuinely get mad.

[winter viper]

Lol

[covert nest]

Like dude ok

[winter viper]

You should see my 2042 stats. M5 recoilless kills are 15,000+ with a Mastery over 730

[covert nest]

They will never topple my artificially padded med pen mastery!

[sudden lodge]

One thing I hoop they are going to do is making the vehicle have more of an impact.
In 2042 I feel like you can hop into a jet/tank without being killed almost immediately.

[gilded merlin]

Is there a website where i can see all of my battlefield stats

I dont think Battlelog is still up

[covert nest]

Battlefield tracker.

Though... for 4 and H i dunno.

[winter viper]

https://tenor.com/view/passionnément-gif-5912769248254098230

Yeah well to get 1 Mastery lol with the M5 Recoilless you gave to destroy 10 vehicles...so

[covert nest]

Free drugs

[sudden lodge]

And yes I know that’s not always true, but I feel that in bf1 and BFV the actually had an impact on game

[winter viper]

What they should do is finally stop AA tanks and tanks from sitting in their own spawn camping all game. Give them 10 seconds to leave or boom, or don't allow them to fire or lock on until out of the spawn

[covert nest]

Destroying vehicles has a massive impact on the other side.

Iwo jima. It would be extremely difficult for the Americans to push if they don't have tanks.

[winter viper]

^

[covert nest]

Keeping AA in check allows for air support like a rocket blast on a cluster.

[winter viper]

incoming sweat lord Zero Pilot

[sudden lodge]

I meant in 42 not 5

[quick merlin]

Third sector, pushing up when defenders had a good tank on the hill

[covert nest]

Yeah true

I did want to add onto that.

I don't feel like that on 2042 but I've probably become more cynical with the playerbase.

So you'll have to excuse that.

[covert nest]

God you need planes to take their tanks out on the fourth sector otherwise your side on offence can't do shit.

[sudden lodge]

I feel like that issue could have been fixed if they kept the resupply mechanic from five to ground vehicles

[covert nest]

I do agree with your pov just keep in mind cyber.

[quick merlin]

Yeah it sort of just depended what planes were up to. A lot of the time they called a truce and just farmed infantry which sucked

[covert nest]

Resupply points... no.

Not after bf5. I agree with jets and helicopters but not for tanks.

[covert nest]

Yeah i hated that. I'd be the ass in the corsair ripping the zeros apart.

[winter viper]

It didn't stop the a a tanks in battlefield five from sitting in their own spawn and shooting at aircraft because they had a resupplied station right next to them

[covert nest]

Most pilots didn't have developed ajm.

[quick merlin]

I reckon if they added that mobile resupply truck it could have worked

Iirc that leaked at some point

I liked the idea behind attrition but it wasn't without its shortcomings

[winter viper]

Attrition in general was horrible

The only thing I disliked really about BFV

[covert nest]

I think forcing aircraft to their own side in the pacific theatre was a net positive.

You had zero reason to go the other side other than to pursue and even that was risky as a fresh corsair could ruin your day.

[sudden lodge]

I know but let me say it like this
AA vehicle in 42 would not have as easier access to missile that way

[covert nest]

But everything else. No.

[winter viper]

Dropping AT Mines onto the enemies take off platform in bfv...good times

[covert nest]

I hated that.

I made sure to fucking hunt down the rats no matter the faction.

It was so easy to grief.

[winter viper]

Drooping a few AT mines on the Carrier, waiting few minutes, then BOOM. INSTANT hatemail message on XB LOL

[covert nest]

I'm going back into my bf5 mindset it was so easy to grief it wasn't even funny.

For all the fun there there were so many awful people.

[merry reef]

Yes,... exactly that was the crap that made BF great... C4 jeeps.. spawn shenanigans .. all the stuff that made it sooo fun and unique

[covert nest]

C4 jeeps i don't even hate because you're an equally big target.

[winter viper]

Or sitting on the G flag on hamada. Waiting for an enemy pilot to spawn in throw some t and t on him and watch him fly off. And then blowing him up 20 seconds later lol

[merry reef]

100% lol

Now can't do that.... someone will start to cry

[winter viper]

https://tenor.com/view/hysterical-laughter-laughing-gif-25735842

You have no idea how many BF4-1-V servers I've been kicked off of because I try to have fun

[merry reef]

lol yeah bring back server browsers so we can troll and follow the winers

[sudden lodge]

That why I propose it to only ground vehicles

[covert nest]

Ah yeah you're one of those people who likes to harass people.

Keep in mind. There's a difference between doing it intentionally and just happening upon someone's lobby.

[bitter rover]

Is there a music channel, need some sweet playlists to play Battlefield to 😎

[merry reef]

some Creedence Clearwater Revival from battlefield vietnam

[sudden lodge]

I mean in capture/hold the point I remember in Five holding of the enemy team on the aerodrome map or being stop the same way, you can’t really do that in 42 with out quickly been blown up M5 or RPG resulting in the camping issue

[sage trout]

Can we get modern weapons from beginning m16 to 2025 weapons

Or can we build our own custom guns instead developers put time in it but make a catch with it

[nimble bridge]

I just don't want gunsmithing in the next game, just give me 4 attachment slots, nothing more nothing less.

[cerulean lava]

I personally quite like the attachment system in 2042

[weary mantle]

it's insane how they got the rights to some of the songs in Vietnam. One of the coolest parts of that game

[covert nest]

It'd be cool if there were hard attachments and soft attachments and the plus system taking advantage of it.

[nimble bridge]

I like it but just discard the mags, weapons should have specific mag size with universal ammo type in their class

[covert nest]

By the way I mean what I said in a positive spin.

[weary mantle]

the less things you have to fiddle with the better imo

[covert nest]

It keeps vehicles to their sides.

[weary mantle]

i think having forced limitations with attachments is good, makes it so everyone is a grunt and has to be creative with what they've got and work together as a team.

[mossy marten]

They better not bring back suppression into the series

Rewarding people for missing shots no bueno

[nimble bridge]

I'm fine with suppression if it works like BFV

[bleak scarab]

Suppression ain't such a bad thing as long they can balance it. People run like bullets don't hurt them

[lean jetty]

So did BF labs emails go out yet?

[mossy marten]

doubt it, it's only been announced like 2 days ago

[lean jetty]

For sure. I saw some videos and images on reddit that didn't look any of the content I've seen so far, so I was worried they passed me over

[gilded merlin]

People shouldnt be posting anything if it is the playtest starting.

Everyone has to sign an NDA.

[hallow escarp]

when should the trailer for the game drop

i wanna hear peoples opinions

[gilded merlin]

Probably wont drop until around june or so

Around when the big game announcements happen.

[hallow escarp]

i find it weird that if they are going to be pre alpha playtesting for a long time

were gonna have leaked gameplay

[lean jetty]

That's what I figured. It wasn't gameplay. But just part of a video I haven't come across in any of the EA content out that I've seen. I'm sure it's somewhere I missed.

[hallow escarp]

without a trailer for a long time

[gilded merlin]

Oooh ok.

[hallow escarp]

i feel like that is really weird

[gilded merlin]

Once they have a few playtests and such, and the feedback is put into the game, Im sure they will release a trailer

[hallow escarp]

yeah

[gilded merlin]

Hopefully no one is stupid enough to leak gameplay

[hallow escarp]

nah they will

[gilded merlin]

Because signing the NDA will get them into legal trouble

[hallow escarp]

the more people they allow in

the more will get leaked

remember what happened with 2042

[gilded merlin]

Well they can leak it all they want, they are gonna get sued out the butt xD

[hallow escarp]

there was a lot of leaked gameplay when they had their alpha testing

yeah lol

[gilded merlin]

So stupid

[proven sedge]

No one cares bro there will be leak gameplay on yt

[gilded merlin]

Its not worth it

[proven sedge]

Just like gta 6 lol

[gilded merlin]

Its not worth it imo

They are just doing it for views

then bam

Channel gets taken down for copyright

Lmao

So it wasn't worth it.

[proven sedge]

Yeah they still upload on yt

[gilded merlin]

Thats so stupid.

[hallow escarp]

yeah but it is cool to see new gameplay for a game you have only seen 15 seconds for

[royal turtle]

Are we supposed to get an email or something after we’ve signed up?

[hallow escarp]

no

[gilded merlin]

Well yeah its cool and all, but its not worth it. Especially if you signed the NDA.

[proven sedge]

There's still will be random video that will be still not taken down by yt

[gilded merlin]

Thats true.

[hallow escarp]

its only cool if you aren't the one breaking the nda

[gilded merlin]

XD

Good point

But i dont think its worth it to break an NDA and risk being sued to oblivion for breaking an NDA.

Unless they hide it extremely well.

Which is most likely gonna happen

Just create a burner channel and upload it...

People are pathetic that do that.

[proven sedge]

Where u guys are from btw

[gilded merlin]

California

[proven sedge]

And what is time there

[gilded merlin]

Its 5:40 PM here.

[proven sedge]

India 7:10 am morning

[gilded merlin]

Nice.

[hallow escarp]

7:41

[gilded merlin]

I started a Battlefield Channel.

I paid to get the graphics made for it.

No i just need more Battlefield Creators.

Im not gonna post the details here because i dont wanna get muted again xD

[tall idol]

Guys

Hi

[gilded merlin]

Heeey

[civic raptor]

Why hasnt a battlefield game or any game in that matter be set in the korea war

[bitter rover]

The news we’ve been waiting for. Hopefully we get an early 2026 release for BF6

[glad trench]

because the general populace is very unfamiliar with it and has no emotional connections to it

same reason there's practically no movies on it either, it doesn't sell

WW2, cold war/vietnam and Middle Eastern conflict within the last 30 years is much more familiar to people

[brisk valley]

[worldly turret]

Yea my guess is feb-march for the release. EA said that they will release between april 1st 2025 and april 1st 2026

[maiden moon]

When play test

[worldly turret]

In the coming weeks

[pallid coral]

dannyonpc said next week i think

[slate steppe]

B

[wind basalt]

No he didn't

[pallid coral]

"today and coming weekend, the first people will be apparently be able to play the game?"

[worldly turret]

Even if he did he doesnt actually know no one does but DICE

[pallid coral]

well ofc lol

that's a given coming from a non-DICE member

[woeful sluice]

I'm ok with early 2026 release as long as we can keep playtesting the game through labs

[civic raptor]

Im a rockstar fanboy I do need time for me for gta 6

[wispy dagger]

Sad but probably true

Isn’t gta only coming out for PlayStation first

[tawny cloud]

Ps5 and series s/x

Also I read somewhere that ea doesn’t want to release in the same time frame as gta 6

[serene prism]

Understandable if true

Testing the game until release would be an interesting way of going about it

[serene prism]

I think the Devs are aware they need to fix stuff for this upcoming one

[worldly turret]

true but i really hope they do good i just don't know how i feel about 4 different studios on the game

[serene prism]

There might be a reason for that but we’ll see

[lofty jay]

If they are planning a 26 release, then that gives more time for playtesting and development, which I'm all for. Anything to make this the best battlefield we've had

[serene prism]

I’m pretty sure you have a lesser chance of getting picked if you didn’t take the survey at all.

That question in of itself is weird

That really shouldn’t matter at all.

[lapis arch]

Yet some praised temufield saying it's 1000% better than 2042

[shrewd cobalt]

when does the beta start

[serene prism]

I don’t see why anyone gets upset about nothing

Stop trying to turn it into something it’s not

[lapis arch]

Excited hopefully I get selected even when I'm 80 years old I'll be playing battlefield

[shrewd cobalt]

BF2 = bess BF

[serene prism]

I’m pointing out your own odd need to point out something that really doesn’t matter

Settle it in the game matches GGs

I’m guessing it would be a 30v30 thing per server

Unless they want to start with 24 player count which would be 12v12

[signal vigil]

Does that matter more to you than the game being fun?

[serene prism]

Apparently so

[signal vigil]

I answered the questions and thought nothing of it. I just want to get the chance to play test and help make the game fun. I’ve been a fan since bfbc so I think I may know a thing or two about the franchise’s roots. Not really interested in woke or not woke stuff. Waste of time to be bothered by that sort of stuff

[serene prism]

Same here I just want to test the game and have fun

How much blood should they be allowed to have in the game? Blood when hit and downed, or should they take it a step further and show blood on the ground after the player is downed with showing where the last bullet hit?

[hasty crown]

bizarre concern to have. I practically disclosed that outright and my acceptance into it seemed instant.

well, the labs portion anyways

whatever have you

[grand cloak]

How to get accepted

[hasty crown]

Are we referring into the same thing? I'm confused

[serene prism]

I have no idea anymore Ink

[gilded merlin]

its not woke, its called respect for someone elses beliefs.

[grand cloak]

what

[serene prism]

Saint we tried to explain to them how silly this was and it clearly isn’t working

[gilded merlin]

Its about respecting other peoples beliefs, just let it go and deal with the questions, its all im saying.

Why does it matter if they are asking?

[serene prism]

That’s what I was trying to say

[mossy marten]

#battlefield-labs-news message

People not reading the news posts I see

[gilded merlin]

I have said my piece.

[grand cloak]

😂

[serene prism]

Saint at this point we’re better off ignoring whatever this is turning into

[gilded merlin]

Like i said, Im done.

Oh here we go.

XDD

[serene prism]

Yep

[gilded merlin]

Bro, I dont give a shit about politics, this is a game xD

It has nothing to do with politics.

[serene prism]

Exactly

[gilded merlin]

If you dont like diversity, then dont apply for play testing.

Simple as that.

[serene prism]

Shut up and just wait like everyone else

[gilded merlin]

Its political because it asks questions about diversity, interesting.

[mossy marten]

But you continued to involve politics with mentioning the current president

[gilded merlin]

This world is truely done for if your getting all mad about simple questions.

[serene prism]

And we’re telling you and everyone else who bothered to reply in the same manner that literally no one else cares and y’all are the ones bring up these silly questions and comments

[gilded merlin]

This is why both sides of the political isle are so divided.

You listen to the politicans instead of listening to each other. They are playing both sides and your following along like a good sheep.

Who the hell cares if they are asking diversity questions?

If you want to get technical, diversity has been a long long debated thing in our society, and for what?

Because someone chooses to be different then you?

Give me a break.

Oh well, then stop playing.

If you dont like diversity, then stop playing. Simple.

[lofty jay]

Hey now, we're all here for a good time. Let's not get too carried away

[hasty crown]

Are you not just talking about the section on tracking demographics though?
that has existed in surveys and applications since forever now, thats just basic data collection, and that goes for anything really
I don't think the survey itself really mentions anything else

[mossy marten]

[gilded merlin]

No i dont, because i wont give a crap.

That is that groups decision to be trans.

Its none of your business, or anyone elses.

Go play fornite then, no one cares.

Keep listening to your masters. You look even more idiotic. lol.

Im older then you, I guarentee it.

Thats the only argument you can make? Is that im a kid?

Yep, your a trumper for sure, I can tell.

[hard fog]

XD

[maiden bolt]

real ogs remember strike at karkand

[gilded merlin]

Im done arguing with some child who only sees one side of the picture. Im done before i get muted again xD

[serene prism]

lol

Good

[hard fog]

Caspian border*

[gilded merlin]

I just wanna make the game better

Thats all I care about.

[serene prism]

I don’t remember one of those

[hasty crown]

I guess if I was correct, little bit concerning how worked up people are getting over it then. That type of thing has never changed lol

[serene prism]

Same here

[gilded merlin]

I dont give a crap about diversity in the game, if it is, it is, oh well.

[maiden bolt]

strike at karkand was bf2/dlc for 3

[serene prism]

I was never worked up

[mossy marten]

Welcome to modern day

[hasty crown]

I remember why I don't interact with communities haha
keen to see it die down a bit

[serene prism]

Ink, the only ones getting weirded out by a survey that’s part of standard practice are your usual suspects

[gilded merlin]

Im sorry, I just cant stand that whole DEI talking point bullcrap.

Its just one more thing that people make an issue that doesnt matter, focus on REAL issues, not talking points.

[mossy marten]

Know what's a real issue with Battlefield? Non working mouse input

[serene prism]

And yes Ink that is a bit concerning that that’s their biggest concern out anything else that would be way worse for the game. Servers crashing the second a Tank breaks through a building for example

[gilded merlin]

I wouldn't know, I suck too much to play Mouse and Keyboard xD Im a controller nerd on PC xD

[mossy marten]

[hard fog]

Realize that what the Battlefield community really wants most is for the game to be enjoyable, since introducing diversity stuff and saying that the game is woke for certain reasons are topics for other conversations.

[gilded merlin]

I feel your judgement

xDD

[serene prism]

Oof

[gilded merlin]

You stop judging me with your pizza pepperonis sir xD

[serene prism]

Pizza man is judging

[mossy marten]

Pineapple*
Sorry not sorry TotalFPS

[gilded merlin]

Ew

Pineapple does not belong on pizza xD

[mossy marten]

Joking of course

[tropic trout]

[serene prism]

I thought that was tomato

[hasty crown]

real for that

[mossy marten]

Hello there

[gilded merlin]

Kenobiii <,<

[tropic trout]

Heyoooo

[serene prism]

Remember that time in Hard Line Multiplayer where they added Star Wars Easter egg animations when Battlefront was about to launch?

[mossy marten]

How ya been, haven't seen you on in a min

[hard fog]

As a veteran player of the series, playing since Battlefield 3, I grew up seeing how incredible the maps are and how they integrate with people's playing style.

[tropic trout]

Busy, now with all the BF Labs thing I'm trying to get on the track again with everything..

[hasty crown]

Really wish I got into it sooner, never had that love for the earlier ones that I hear about

[mossy marten]

Same on this side of the pond

[serene prism]

That why in my list I added I wanted to see a return to Battlefield 3 map designs.

[hard fog]

I rembember the goofy ahh alligator easter egg hahahaha

[serene prism]

Don’t forget about the mobile couch for some reason

[hard fog]

And to top it off, it's great that they brought back the community testing environment, AKA battlefield labs.

[mossy marten]

I'm still tempering my expectations even with Labs

[serene prism]

Fair enough

[hard fog]

Did you tried the CTE from BF4?

[gilded merlin]

I wish i would of xD

[mossy marten]

No, I was a broke boi after building my first PC so was playing Planetside 2 until 2016ish

[serene prism]

Oop

PCs from scratch ain’t cheap kids

[hard fog]

What memories I have of playing on the Battlefield 4 maps from the test environment, you always walked through a map with chess textures, but the important thing was that the developers paid attention to us.

[mossy marten]

I was a junior in high school with only a summer job lol
FX6300 and gtx 760 with 16gb RAM

[hasty crown]

Finding that out now once again
not. fun.

[serene prism]

GG

[grand cloak]

Was that a psyop earlier

[paper eagle]

I just hope that any sort of beta testing will be available on console, cause my PC suuuuuucks

[hasty crown]

my day be so fine, then boom, nvidia cooks it's next gen

[mossy marten]

They did the opposite of cooking

They burned this gen so hard

[hasty crown]

no, yeah, they burned it hard

time to wait on 60

[serene prism]

If I’m chosen, I won’t be able to test in April if it goes for longer months of testing

[mossy marten]

"5070 faster than 4090"
Disclaimer: only faster when using 4x fake frame generation

[serene prism]

Who was a menace in the skies in 3, 4, 1, V, and 2042?

[ancient lark]

If this is any indicator of the 60 launch.. count me out for that one too. Maybe time to go back to team red... who actually have cards in stock. sighhhh

[mossy marten]

6950xt go BBRRRRRRRRR

[ancient lark]

I may take a swing at the 5070TI too.. not that I think there is much hope. Really wanted the 5080.. but no luck.

[hasty crown]

Honestly yeah, I wouldn't count it out
but hell, a guy gotta cope sometimes

[still wren]

They're being fried by their own drivers right now. I'd hold off on buying a new GPU

[ancient lark]

I just want more vram than my 3070FTW! wahh

[still wren]

From either side

[ancient lark]

Ha, that's true.. isn't that just the 90s tho?

[still wren]

80 and 90's

[ancient lark]

aaack

good call

Partner and FE?

[still wren]

And AMD need to get their drivers in order on release

[ancient lark]

I should read some headlines more 😉

[hasty crown]

reckon I stick to my 4080S plans.
not a huge jump but it'll be what I need 😔

[ancient lark]

IF those drop in price and IF they are in stock I'd consider

[still wren]

Don't get me wrong, I love AMD GPU's but don't buy any GPU until they are proven to be reliable

[hasty crown]

true that

[ancient lark]

I only use their CPUs.. just have used NVidia for so long now

[serene prism]

A lot of PC speak

[gilded merlin]

Ikr

I come back aqnd BAM

A bunch of PC talk xD

[ancient lark]

Sorry.. up up down down left right left right A B (select) start 😉

[gilded merlin]

O_O

[ancient lark]

I kid.. I kid 8)

[serene prism]

Umm, I need scissors 61?

[gilded merlin]

Wooow, I feel like that was a punch to the gut because im a Controller Player xD

[ancient lark]

#gotem

[serene prism]

Console Supremacy

[ancient lark]

Well.. they certainly cost a LOT less. Of that I am jealous

Somedays I wonder if the cost is worth it.. hehe

[serene prism]

I guess it really depends on what you’re looking for

[gilded merlin]

Thats why i play on PC xD

[mossy marten]

Being able to use 2+ monitors with one system is already one of the biggest "worth it" things

Game modding is another one

[serene prism]

Isn’t the max 3 or something like that?

[ancient lark]

That's true.. I've gotten down to a single ultra wide now, but it works well for me

Well, one restriction is physical ports to your GPU.. but you can add more

Sadly, most of my gaming on PC right now is a Mobile game that has a PC client... and a dash of rivals. 8(

[worldly turret]

what game?

[mossy marten]

I used an UW for a bit, but went back to standard 1440p with a secondary portable monitor for discord and stuff. The UW went to my 2nd pc

[quick merlin]

Steamdeck is good fun imo

[ancient lark]

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes

[quick merlin]

Battlefield on a steamdeck would go hard. I can't remember if many of the newer games are rated to run on it though

[worldly turret]

it looks like a turned based game. is it a turned based game

[mossy marten]

They won't because of the Anticheat

[quick merlin]

dang

[ancient lark]

I just got a new 34" OLED (my first one) I am quite impressed

[serene prism]

Would Gaben do that though?

[still wren]

A B A C A BB

[mossy marten]

I want an OLED, but the price

[ancient lark]

I got the last of the edition from Dell/Alienware.. $550 at the end of the year

[worldly turret]

my bank account can't support that rn

[ancient lark]

It is more like a gatcha type game by EA / Capital Games. A hero collector

But based around Star Wars. Been playing since 2016 (with a small break) so.. I keep plunking along

[high glacier]

hello can someone help me? in battlefield labs I don't see playtest in progress

[lofty jay]

In the same boat buddy

[ancient lark]

That is what we all see today, all set for now

[lofty jay]

Did it change for everyone?

[worldly turret]

did u do the survey?

[high glacier]

Yes

[serene prism]

I don’t think they’ve begun testing yet and are still getting sign ups out of the way before the selecting starts

[ancient lark]

Mine has showed that since the first 24 hours. You will only show active testing IF you are selected and you have a testing assignment. So.. most of us never will see anything show up in there.

[worldly turret]

well the test hasn't started yet

most likely in a week or 2

[lofty jay]

Ahh, gotcha

[serene prism]

With any luck 2 weeks or so sounds about right

[ancient lark]

Until then, we talk about wishes and wants.. and our past BF experience

and a little about PCs 😉

[serene prism]

Yus

[worldly turret]

maybe invites next week then test week after that

[serene prism]

Sounds fair enough

[sudden lodge]

Ok that’s fine just my opinion

[covert nest]

I don't like it for tanks and infantry but I like it for aircraft essentially.

[high glacier]

My friends see playtests in progress

[ancient lark]

That's cool, they may have already been selected for this or other games.

Most of us.. have not seen any updates there yet. One would expect not until you are actually selected to test.. annnnd have an assignment

[worldly turret]

usually i think playtests in progress are just sign ups for said playtest if they got in it would just be in "your playtests"

[ancient lark]

I've done a little bit of pre-release work with EA, but not on PC. So this is all new to me from a testing perspective.

[high glacier]

Well, I'm saying this because I also signed up and I don't see playtests in progress

[worldly turret]

me neither but i think its cause we already signed up for the playtest and we have no more playtests available at the moment so that section just disappears

anyways what battlefield should i download

im bored

[gilded merlin]

I just redownloaded 2042

Lol

[serene prism]

Nice

[worldly turret]

i just deleted it i got tired of it

[ancient lark]

Fine.. updating 2042 now 8)

[serene prism]

I still got mine

[worldly turret]

BF1 or BFV? what one should i download

[serene prism]

Depends on what you’re playing them on

[worldly turret]

ea app

[serene prism]

BF1 on PC is still very active last I saw and V still has its moments on Console

[gilded merlin]

I can download any battlefield, so whatever you guys want to play ill download it

[ancient lark]

BF2: Special Forces

[tidal solar]

filled with a lot of closet cheaters tho sadly

[serene prism]

Oof

[worldly turret]

BF1 has around 30k peak every day and so does BFV

[ancient lark]

Still have my box / install CDs 😉

buuuut no CD-ROM on my PC haha

[worldly turret]

i can't play pvp games on console anymore but story games yes

[covert nest]

Bf5 is still really only worth playing on console but the only people left behind really are the kind of people who stack.

SWAT in US. Alongside a bunch of wharaboos.

[wary kayak]

BF2 squad leader 👍👍

[worldly turret]

soooo should i download BF1 or BFV on pc

[serene prism]

I’d have to make room on my XBonxX Internal memory to redownload V

[covert nest]

Ugh i hate autocorrect.

[covert nest]

Bf1 i guess. I don't know what that's like over in US EU.

It's dead here in OCE so no choice.

[worldly turret]

i feel like im gonna run into a few cheaters but i play tarkov so nothing can beat that

[wary kayak]

Inspire to BF2 gameplay please

[covert nest]

At least you won't lose hours of your life there.

[ancient lark]

There is a service you can install to still play BF2 vanilla. I messed with that for a bit. it worked well

[wary kayak]

We just need BF2 with new graphics ! 👍

[ancient lark]

But then I saw firsthand how old that engine looked today

[pallid coral]

anyone else checking their emails every 10 minutes even tho they haven't started sending anything yet

[worldly turret]

well while bf1 downloads ima watch one piece

[wary kayak]

No XP, no progression. Just teamplay and fun

[ancient lark]

Ooooh grinding those ranks

3 months to earn ONE SINGLE GUN

[worldly turret]

no i learned that ea playtesting disappoints me everytime i sign up for a test so i learned not to

[pallid coral]

😭

the only EA emails i get: ||Your EA Security Code is 00000 - View online click here. EA logo Your EA Security code is 000000. If you didn't request this code, please go to your My Account page and change your passwo... 3:39PM||

[serene prism]

Patience grasshopper

[pallid coral]

grasshopper? I hardly know her!

[serene prism]

Blep

[gilded merlin]

XD

Im downloading BF1 as well.

[worldly turret]

well i just found out i missed out on a beta that i was really looking foward to

[pallid coral]

whic hone

[worldly turret]

it was awhile ago before they canceled it but i just searched up betas in my email and it was for a division game

[gilded merlin]

The Mobile Division game?

[worldly turret]

no it was more of a extraction shooter i think basically only the darkzone

[gilded merlin]

Oooh

[pallid coral]

oh yeah i skipped that completley too i got an email for it

[gilded merlin]

I didnt even know it was a thing

[worldly turret]

well it isn't anymore

[gilded merlin]

Of course i never did fully play the Division.

[pallid coral]

bruh its ubisoft, there's like a 40% chance it won't happen and a 99% chance it wont be good on launch

[ancient lark]

Didn't finish it, but played a bunch

[pallid coral]

why even bother

[worldly turret]

game got scrapped after like a year of silence

[gilded merlin]

You mean like XDefiant?

[pallid coral]

LOL

that game was like a walking zombie

[gilded merlin]

I never did play it

Lol

Im kind of glad i didnt.

XD

[pallid coral]

you know a game's bad when the only reason people said it was good cuz it promised "good netcode"

turns out it had horrible netcode

[gilded merlin]

Even after all that time they took on it, it still turned out terrible.

[pallid coral]

it was kinda like if 2042 was 5x as worse

it had no direction

[gilded merlin]

Shame

So much potential.

[pallid coral]

it started being this punk style shooter and then they changed the idea like 10 times + chased cod's updates

[worldly turret]

god i just realised how many ubisoft betas i've been invited to and most of them never saw the light of day

[pallid coral]

i feel bad for the people who worked on it, all this work for their game to get cancelled

[gilded merlin]

Ikr

Hey, atleast they got paid xD

I have only participated in 3 ubisoft betas

1 was Ghost Recon Future Soldier

[pallid coral]

some game companies higher ups don't understand that instead of making 10 slops, just make 1 amazing well planned and thought out game, do many playtests and take the feedback head on and don't be a wuss, and you'll be good

[gilded merlin]

2nd was i believe a multiplayer beta for an assassins creed game

3rd one was....i believe another assassins creed mp xD

[worldly turret]

i need ubisoft to send me a beta for black flag remake 😂

[gilded merlin]

Ikrrrr

Come to think of it

All of the Betas i have participated in were EA xD

[worldly turret]

i think im on my like 7th playthrough of it rn

[gilded merlin]

Medal of Honor 2010...Medal of Honor Warfighter, Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, Battlefield Bad Company 2

Lol

[worldly turret]

id say most of mine are ubisoft cause ea doesn't accept me into their betas most of the time and some funcom ones

[gilded merlin]

I just realized that

[pallid coral]

the games ive tested are [nda] 😭

[gilded merlin]

XDD

I have only tested one game that was NDA

[pallid coral]

how tf does a proper tester write his resume without breaking a lot of nda's

[gilded merlin]

But it got cancelled xD

[pallid coral]

"I tested multiple games... yeah... I can't give proof though "

[serene prism]

The last tests I remember doing were for BF4 and COD MW3 reboot

[worldly turret]

not saying the name but one of the ndas i signed was soooooo thorough needed every bit of my information

[gilded merlin]

I have beta tested all of the latest call of duty games

[gilded merlin]

I cant prove it tbh, I wont lie.

Oh and Blackout

The Blackout Beta as well.

[gilded merlin]

The game that got canceled has a very strict NDA as well, even after it was canceled, I couldnt say anything for 3 years.

[pallid coral]

sad that beta testing doesn't mean anything 😦 in cod games

[gilded merlin]

Ikr

[covert nest]

Only closed tests I've been part of would be for the doom alpha multiplayer test and ratatans closed alpha.

[gilded merlin]

Its just a freaking Beta when they realease it

[pallid coral]

literally that gif of someone arguing with a wall

[gilded merlin]

I stopped caring about the Call of Duty Betas.

Because most of the time, the stuff you like in the beta either gets nerfed or taken out in final product, or they change it a lot.

[covert nest]

Cod betas mean nothing. They just serve as advertisement to get people into the game.

[gilded merlin]

Exactly

[pallid coral]

i just play beta for some f2p fun

[gilded merlin]

Its just a demo xD

[covert nest]

Which well that's what a beta is now.

[gilded merlin]

Thats it.

[covert nest]

Demos are good by the way.

[lofty jay]

I remember getting into the Marvel Rivals beta. It was like playing the lottery

[pallid coral]

this is why in embark studios i trust

[covert nest]

Play ultrakill by the way.

[pallid coral]

the real game devs

[covert nest]

That has a demo.

[worldly turret]

i got into the last beta before release i was sad

[pulsar shard]

I got in the alpha test of marvel rivals

[covert nest]

By the way when you can I would recommend getting into ratatan when the beta opens.

It's a gorgeous little game.

[worldly turret]

you know i feel like we are breaking some ndas atm but atleast its not EA's ndas right?

[pallid coral]

i did alpha testing for THE FINALS and holy shit i felt so "heard" in that test, they talked to me and heard my feedback, fixed bugs in those 3 days of testing and like man, if only every company was like that. (that test was only under NDA for media so i can talk about it). the game was so early in dev but so promising

after interacting with embark studios and playing their games, eveyr other game just feels shit to me

[worldly turret]

that game felt sooo good but on release i just couldn't play it

[pallid coral]

ahh yikes

[lofty jay]

I tried playing the finals but just couldn't get into it. it's a shame because it looked so fun

Every building falling apart was cool

[worldly turret]

i playtested The first descendant back in i think 2021 before it became what it is now it was fun

[pallid coral]

it def aint for everyone, it's very fast paced now and very arcadey but objectively speaking they're doing a really good job with each season

i dont see many games even reach 5 seasons before dying 😭

[worldly turret]

i've been waiting for their next game the one with huge robot mechs

[pallid coral]

oh yeah arc raiders

did u get into the first closed pre-alpha

[worldly turret]

nah sadly

[covert nest]

I'm witnessing some fucking nutjob attempt to lift up 200 kilos

He just did it

[pallid coral]

the gameplay reveal looks super sick

its the only extraction shooter im excited about

[worldly turret]

it used to not be a extraction shooter

it was a pve game i think when it first got announced

[lofty jay]

Meanwhile, I'm waiting for anything on Ace Combat 8. Doubt they'll have alpha or beta tests for that

[pallid coral]

yeah i remember

[pallid coral]

at first i was super bummed out ngl im like damn an open world pve could've been so fun

but on a second thought i was like, im sure embark knew that people thought it would be fun but there must be a proper reason for the swap for whatever reason

[worldly turret]

i got into a beta for a game called beautiful light amazing looking game but sucks i was on vacation during the beta dates

[pallid coral]

oh yeah that one looks scary asf

no offense but beautiful light looks like a game that would come out as early access and slowly lose playerbase over 6 months

[worldly turret]

if they did it right i think it would do well and not be another cycle frontier

[pallid coral]

hopefuilly man :-;

im just so tired of wasting my money on "early access" titles that die after a few weeks or months

like battlebit remastered met so many people's expectations, was super fun, and then boom, abandoned 💀

[worldly turret]

thats cause people thought they could keep just dropping content every week but then the dev time for each update just kept getting longer and longer due to the small dev team they had

[covert nest]

We just need single players that last and have legacy none of this live service bullshit.

[worldly turret]

i love single players but now either they come out as buggy as ever or take 9 years for a new one

[serene prism]

I would say return to unlocking weapons and skins without crates and credits but that ain’t happening so there has to be a compromise tactic to suggest.

[pallid coral]

yeah you're right, the issue is scalability
when ur a small dev team and ur getting big, there's something u gotta do or else this cycle continues. like idk what they did cuz i didn't play the release version, but they could've just hired more people which ik isn't as simple as here's the money now make a game type shit, but still...

its the same with valheim, the only reason valheim isn't dead is cuz out of the box it's basically a released game (and a fun one and replayable one)

[worldly turret]

well if you go with no mans sky that game was terrible on launch and the players hated it. now its a amazing game and they are still pumping out free updates 10 years later and have a new game coming out soon

[pallid coral]

yeah, but realistically how many times will that happen again :/

im surprised they mustered up the funds and energy to do that ngl, it was such a good revival

cuz u also need A LOT of money to fix ur game, update, remarket it

[serene prism]

https://tenor.com/view/cooking-cook-money-money-money-money-money-money-gif-16670048503852599108

[worldly turret]

thats also a problem nowadays games are taking too long and too much money to make then they do terrible in sale.

like i know gta 6 is gonna do well but almost a 12 year development time is crazy (yes i know they were making games inbetween that time) but also the rumored budget for the game is insane

[slate yoke]

What if this new battlefield comes out, and it's super cool, and everyone really likes it. Then battlefield takes the spotlight over COD, and then battlefield is good n stuff.

[pallid coral]

yeah :/ the more u spend the more u gotta make... i mean no offense but it doesn't look that good when you see 2042 took 4 studios to make and still turned out trash... and they're repeating that again

4.5 years, 4 studios, if this battlefield turns out bad, its gonna look so bad

[worldly turret]

everyone said that about 2042 that it was finally gonna kill cod but it didn't do anything.

[pallid coral]

man fuck killing cod, just be a fun game

[slate yoke]

Maybe this time? 🧐

[pallid coral]

it doesn't need to be the next cod, it needs to be a battlefield game

[worldly turret]

i will say cod needs to die tho

[slate yoke]

True, but im terms of becoming the mainstream FPS that people gravitate towards, it could become that, with good direction.

[pallid coral]

it could man, it really could

[slate yoke]

Thats what im sayin'

[pallid coral]

battlefield sitll has SO MANY fans that are deserted

some went to arma, some to squad, some to cod, some to etc etc etc

but most old bf fans still want to come back to bf

[worldly turret]

i can't play squad bro people are too serious

[pallid coral]

try arma reforger, its a way more casual experience than u might experience. u just need to get used to the game's features like map navigation, how squadding and teamwork works, etc.

but yeah man, nothing can replicate battlefield :/ which is why im hopeful for this bf6

[worldly turret]

i do like delta force battlefield mode tho its not that bad

[slate yoke]

Playin' some 2042 rn. Gonna go own some noob-erts! Heard ARMA reforger is cool, so I'll have to look into it fo sho. Lets hope we get LABS soon, and it's not too disappointing. ✊🏻
