[tough zinc]

also if some dice devs are reading... make sure to add that classic gun sway movement when you are looking in some direction

[vague barn]

if some dice devs are reading... HELLO

[twilit creek]

If some devs are reading, underbarrel grenade launcher for my knife, please

If we can get bipod knifes, I want my noobtube

[spice bramble]

About the updates on progress, you guys think it will be just patch notes?

Or actual videos too

[nimble bridge]

I hope we get helicopter slides

I want to be able to slide with helicopter

[vague barn]

I'd guess it'll be "hey we saw people giving feedback on x, we have done y to address this feedback!"

[spice bramble]

Hmm

Would they want feedback on something like animations?

I guess not

[tough zinc]

1st person melee animations >>>>>>>

[lilac rose]

Oh! One thing I really want to see removed in the next Battlefield? Pointing when spotting. I have died, countless times, to my character randomly deciding to exit their scope and point at an enemy that I spot, if I use spotting while ADSed. I should be able to spot freely when scoped in, and not be stuck at the mercy of something like a 1 in 5 chance that I'll just suddenly lower my weapon and point at the person shooting at me.

[vague barn]

I doubt it, I think the key points, at least initially will be how movement and gunplay feels.

[vague barn]

Yes, please.

[feral garden]

This has never happened to me ever.

[spice bramble]

Neither to me

[nimble bridge]

Never forget this wasn't in the game

[tough zinc]

make it so if someone attacks you frontally by melee you can counter it like it was in bf4, while if they attack you from behind it's not counterable

[wanton ore]

As bsod said, never happens to me and if it does you can quickly cancel it lol

[tough zinc]

that would be fire

[nimble bridge]

I dislike counter knifing

Punishes people who go for knife first

[wanton ore]

@lilac rose what BF are u referring to

[lilac rose]

It happens quite frequently on Xbox, but only if you spot while ADSed, and I've yet to find a way to cancel the animation, @wanton ore. If you know of a way, let me know, please.

[tough zinc]

just spot before aiming or after the engagement

easy

[wanton ore]

Oh Xbox and 2042, I'm not too sure...

[spice bramble]

Going for knife first shouldn't automatically grant you a kill

[nimble bridge]

It should

[feral garden]

My GF plays with me on controller and says she has never had this happen either.

[spice bramble]

no

[tough zinc]

also i cant remeber the exact scenario you are referring to

[vague barn]

I think it should be handled similarly to BFV (IIRC) where frontally it's just a regular swipe with the knife whereas side-on or from behind is an nimation.

[spice bramble]

Countering should just be harder than clicking a key

[nimble bridge]

If I lowered the HP of an enemy to critical level and go for a knife from front I should be rewarded not punished

[lilac rose]

I hope that's sarcasm. Yes, it works, but...it should be entirely unnecessary.

[nimble bridge]

Melee is useless in 2042 because you can counter it so easily

Not you but your teammates

[lilac rose]

I mean, really, people already don't spot targets enough. Don't punish the player for spotting, by getting them killed.

[tough zinc]

as I said i dont remember if descope was a thing on xbox while aiming and spotting but I personally focus on the engage before spotting

[feral garden]

Knife swipe > fast, 2 hits to kill, no tags

Execution > interaction as it is now, only possible from behind, takes longer than 2 swipes, takes dogtag.

[tough zinc]

should be a button setting problem or some sort

[tough zinc]

cool

[nimble bridge]

Melee should work like BFV imo

[feral garden]

I think a knife swipe should do something like 55 HP damage

[nimble bridge]

Yeah

If enemy has lower HP than that it should be an execution

[lilac rose]

In every other Battlefield, you can do both at once... All I have to do is nudge my knuckle upward to hit LB while using my left trigger to ADS... Always been that way.

[tough zinc]

55 is a lot tho

[lilac rose]

(not counting when spotting was on a different button)

[nimble bridge]

40 or 45 maybe?

3 hits to knife kill

50-55 for slower weapons?

[tough zinc]

yeah

[tough zinc]

you should check settings

sounds weird

[nimble bridge]

Is it just me or 2042's executions are pay to lose? Default animation seems to be the fastest

[vague barn]

No idea but I hate all them due to being 3rd person. I like the idea of different execution animations but man do I miss first person ones.

[tough zinc]

2042 executions gave me aids

https://tenor.com/view/dont-be-sad-this-is-just-how-it-works-out-sometimes-angel-bf2042-battlefield-angel-dont-be-sad-angel-gif-24855532

[feral garden]

Executions as they were made in 2042 make no sense to use. Too many players, too easy to get caught when doing it.

I never even bother to knife, even when given the chance.

[vague barn]

I like knifing people.

And FRA-man, I am talking about in-game, calm down.

[versed token]

I do it for the lols sometimes

[spice bramble]

I love knifing people.

[versed token]

Like someone is desperately trying to kill you and you just knife em to death instead

[tough zinc]

wasted chance you are missing out buddy

[versed token]

It's always funny

[vague barn]

Tbf I am probably already on their watchlist. Man do I feel bad for FRA-mannen who has to keep tabs on me though.

[spice bramble]

May I ask what FRA is

I missed the context

[vague barn]

Försvarets Radioanstalt. Nothing to do with the context. FRA is basically the Swedish equivalent to NSA, a.k.a the people who conduct mass surveillance.

[versed token]

Nah FRA aren't supposed to monitor regular ol civilians

[vague barn]

"supposed to"

[tough zinc]

I think you still have to go down the rabbit hole

[cunning chasm]

who remember the pain to shoot on btf2? i like it

[heady trail]

Anyone else excited for 18th-20th?

[spice bramble]

Why those dates specifically?

Oh, some sort of announcement

[heady thorn]

[mossy marten]

Not BF related is my guess

[tough zinc]

he probably took "in a couple weeks" too litterally

[mossy marten]

There is something the 18th-20th, but it's not BF related. 90% sure on that

[tough zinc]

bro drawing red circles on the calendar😭

waiting for labs to start

(im doing the same)

[mossy marten]

probably no news/invites until March is my guess

[spice bramble]

That would suck

[gusty wren]

I’m far from home during two weeks. I cross my fingers I guess lol

[acoustic juniper]

how come i cant sign up for labs?

[stray veldt]

what error do u get

[golden vortex]

what makes you think you cant

[feral garden]

the page is down/erroring again

[acoustic juniper]

yea error

startagaintest

[golden vortex]

if things are down, wait and try again

[mild girder]

I hope they stick with First Person Animations this time

Hate it that they just swap to Third Person for a takedown

[quasi hinge]

When are we gonna be able to plaaaayyy

[mild girder]

Tomorrow

[quasi hinge]

No way

🥲

[cursive ridge]

[wispy dagger]

I’m like a crack head checking the play test website every day even though I know we’ll get an email lol

[feral garden]

https://tenor.com/view/is-it-gif-20766212

[sudden lodge]

How many surveys in the queue?

[weary sandal]

all of them

[random vessel]

I hope BF stickS to 1st Person vehicles. 3rd person makes tanks way to powerful and also takes away from the immersion of the game

That’s my experience in BFV at least

[lost gale]

But the vehicles look so good in 3rd person

[signal vigil]

Bro SAME

[versed token]

Making vehicles locked to 1st person would be a massive nerf

Like un-enjoyable levels of nerfing

[weary sandal]

it would be fine

[spice bramble]

I want ricochets to return

And and and

uh

Parts breaking

[versed token]

Play one game locked to 1st person and come back

[compact lake]

when will be start de battlefield labs??

[weary sandal]

soon

[compact lake]

hmm oke

[safe moat]

No clue, and even if we knew we can’t speak about it due to NDA

[heady trail]

See yall next week 😉

[molten lance]

How many people will have acess to the tests?

do EA want alot of people to test it and feedback?

[minor linden]

Eh, I'd say keep 3rd person on casual but remove it for hardcore

[spice bramble]

Probably 5k people at first

Or around that number

Realisticly the chance to be invited is arooound, 0.4%

[minor linden]

I'd say it's more around 0.01%

[raw eagle]

do you have insights?

[spice bramble]

Even if they invited just 1k people, chances are 0.07%

I just went with the middle, 5k invited divided by the 1.3m (roughly) registered

[noble cave]

any tests today ?!

[minor linden]

The .01 I got was from 5k divided by 500k

If you're doing 5k and 1.3 mil then it'd be roughly 0.0038

[spice bramble]

I may be missing a zero hold on

Nah you got it wrong bud

You forgot to multiply by 100

[warped lagoon]

did they send invites or something? or are we just speculating

[spice bramble]

speculating

[minor linden]

Oh right. Forgot that lol. it'd be like .38 then

[spice bramble]

Gotta start praying each day at least 3 times

Then the holy light shall shine upon my email

[warped lagoon]

hears notification for an email, gets excited, checks email and its Uber Eats offering a discount 😭

[spice bramble]

That'd go in spam

[warped lagoon]

i gotta arrange it that way ngl

[spice bramble]

If all the garbage goes straight into your main mail then that's pain

[hallow escarp]

when can we play

[versed token]

Never

[dry grotto]

first playtest allegedly will only have a few thousands

So I assume majority will go to youtubers

[fiery mantle]

Can I recognize when I have been accepted?
I have received an email that is open in 2 directions, but not since I applied on 3.2.

[safe moat]

If I was heading the tests, I would have a special slots for some YouTubers so they wont effect the slots for actual community participants

[half halo]

I wonder if the invite will be a generic EA playtest email (like all the others) or an email specific to BF

[dim ferry]

doesnt make any sense if its under NDA and they cant share footage

[spare zephyr]

they will be from EA Playtesting

[midnight umbra]

чирон протикает че делать

[spare zephyr]

#battlefield-labs-discussion message

[safe moat]

I assume it would ve generic email in the Lab’s theme

[dry grotto]

I think you will be notified by EA Playtest

[safe moat]

People will leak it. And we will be waiting for it

[fiery mantle]

I got one today
But I don't know how to interpret them

[dry grotto]

remember

you cant talk about that email

[fiery mantle]

yeah ik

[safe moat]

Yea, that email will contain information that will specify that you CANNOT talk about it

[half halo]

Gotcha!

[dim ferry]

i know but not youtubers, because their channel is at stake, compared to other people

so they wouldn't risk it

[fiery mantle]

Yes, about the content from the Email.
So it means I'm in?

[dry grotto]

I have no liberty to disclose the content, is that what im suppose to say?

[half halo]

Well, you need to confirm @fiery mantle

[safe moat]

If so, you should be

[dry grotto]

yes

you are in the lottery

[safe moat]

Yes, you don’t have the liberty of disclosing the content you see in testing besides to devs

[fiery mantle]

What do I need to confirm?

[safe moat]

That’s the NDA for you

[long trail]

what happned to someone who leak ?

[half halo]

@fiery mantle Well, if there is "sign up" button in the email, you need to follow through. If the email is another template, I can't tell

[dry grotto]

including “this” (whatever that is)

[fiery mantle]

I registered for the playtest on Feb. 3^^

[half halo]

@fiery mantle Then you are good 🙂

[dry grotto]

keep it in door

[weary sandal]

their account gets terminated

[vague barn]

Just read the email before saying anything, it'll save you a whole lot of complications and potential issues. The NDA will be in the email, read it before saying anything about it.

[dry grotto]

leakers will be shot

[long trail]

the ea account ?

[weary sandal]

yes

[safe moat]

Lightest is blaclist for any further testing on any of their IP

The worst? A lawsuit

[dry grotto]

it means

you are in the lottery

[half halo]

I've playtested a few games for EA so far and it's always funny to tell my friends "I'm playing a top secret game, going AWOL from the groupchat for [Insert amount of time"

[dim temple]

Also yeah, just enjoy the chance you have in doing something cool and helping the devs

[fiery mantle]

So completed, but not included

[dry grotto]

but i cant say what they said

[safe moat]

You are signed up for the invitation selection. You are not invited yet

[half halo]

@fiery mantle It means you're registered as an interest individual to partake in the playtest

[dry grotto]

because that is also nda

👀

[fiery mantle]

i see, so im not in rn

[half halo]

But only "Selected" individuals will receive the next emails

[long trail]

but how they can found who leak its not eazy lol

[half halo]

No, we are all waiting for more news (or are we? 😉 )

[fiery mantle]

So there is a possibility that I won't get a playtest despite the email

[dry grotto]

You are in (for the lottery)

[vague barn]

Speculation abound.

[dry grotto]

yes

they might not choose you

[half halo]

Oh, with their telemetry system and data they gather, they can definitely see, based on the footage, who was where in what match and at what time

[fiery mantle]

Im Playing BF for like 8-11 Years, please god🙏

[dry grotto]

actually very unlikely to anyone, because too many people have signed up

[safe moat]

The clients will probably have marks on them to make it obvious who is testing it

[random tartan]

they will lol all over the screen

[vague barn]

bUt YoU cAn JuSt CrOp ThAt OuT

[safe moat]

Like maybe your tag on it, or some QR code

[half halo]

Well they said they would select veterans and noobs alike, to have feedback on multiple types of players

From hardcore BF players to casuals

[plain bluff]

this would suck tremendously. why should they get any type of priority?

[raven helm]

So has everyone who signed up gotten a confirmation email?

[dry grotto]

yes they will

[random tartan]

no its like invisible watermarks

[half halo]

They might even select players who usually exclusively play sports game for exmaple

[stray veldt]

people arent allowed to say if they do

[safe moat]

A company like EA would have it across the screen so you wont be able to crop it put without ruining the leak

Or like beans said, invisible watermarks

[dry grotto]

I once took part in a beta test which the games name I cant talk about, but generally your screen will have watermarks

[plain bluff]

cant talk about? is that game even out?

[dry grotto]

yes

[fiery mantle]

You can, but you are not allowed to talk about the content

[plain bluff]

why is the NDA still in effect if its out?

[dry grotto]

because im not sure

i forgor

[vague barn]

Ready or Not still has an NDA in effect for all content prior to December 3rd 2020 iirc.

[plain bluff]

inb4 its KCD2

[safe moat]

Usually NDA’s have like 2 to 4 years of effect after the product is out

[plain bluff]

thats a bit much

[safe moat]

Or its until the suit who offered you the NDA says you can disclose about it

[vague barn]

What if the suit is dead? 👀

[safe moat]

Companies don’t want recent info to get out via NDA so its usually 2 to 4 years so the info is no longer counted as recent

[plain bluff]

a bad stain never truly washes away

[half halo]

Some of the games I playtested are out and I still can't talk about them either lol

One of the games wasn't even an EA game but the playtest was sponsored by EA lol

[vague barn]

I can neither confirm nor deny if I have ever playtested any other game then Ready or Not.

God damn do I love the Glomar response.

[half halo]

Usually, BF likes to do announcements, release patches, etc. on Tuesdays. Wonder if it applies to the invites eheh

I doubt anything will happen during the weekend

[vague barn]

Severe doubt anything will happen during the weekend. The signup errors were unfixed for the entirety of last weekend until Monday came around.

[fleet robin]

NDAs can last ages, one of mine is in effect for 5 years after game release iirc

and the game still isn't out

[half halo]

@vague barn Very true

[safe moat]

My NDA currently has no end time

[vague barn]

I wasn't even given an expiration date for my Ready or Not playtest NDA.

[fleet robin]

speak never and forever hold your peace

[safe moat]

🐴

[safe moat]

Yea

[half halo]

Imagine you're selected for the playtest, but the hours of the playtest fall during your work hours, what do you do?

[fleet robin]

call in sick, duh

[dry grotto]

Can I talk about it, Ubisoft?

💀

[half halo]

I'm already in sick leave since multiple weeks and gotta restart next week lol

[safe moat]

I mean you can always risk it but then you might ruin yourself

[vague barn]

Ha, jokes on you, I work remote.

(I don't.)

[half halo]

I work hybrid (was full time remote during the pandemic, best time lmao)

But even then, my job is too high intensity for me to be able to play anythind during work hours

In 2020-2022, I was gaming during my shifts, but I changed job (better pay, high-level) and now I can't no more 😭

[dry grotto]

So it was The Crew Motorfest, but I didn't actually played NDA Stage playtest LOL

[vague barn]

A modern day tragedy to put Shakespeare to shame.

[fiery mantle]

How do you actually agree to EA's NDA?
Will there be a “contract”, or is it automatically accepted as soon as you join somewhere?

[half halo]

@vague barn Indeed... I was told we needed to go back to the office to help downtown businesses survive

[dry grotto]

I joined the Close Beta later

[half halo]

If their business model is so trash that it needs my office's workers to survive, then their business model sucks

@fiery mantle Don,t worry, you'll know 🙂

[fleet robin]

you will have to explicitly sign it

[fiery mantle]

ah, k

[vague barn]

Most likely a contract you have to sign before receiving any access to the product.

[fleet robin]

there's a "default" nda in the playtesting tos, but you will have one unique to each playtest you do

[dry grotto]

Remember, dont leak

just say its good

so everyone will buy it

[fleet robin]

don't say anything

[fiery mantle]

Is it then by signature, or by filling out a form?

[fleet robin]

they're strict

[dry grotto]

i heard being good

[fleet robin]

if it's remote it'll be digital signature most likely

[fiery mantle]

i see, thanks

[safe moat]

It changes from company to company. Some do electronical signature and some do as a form

[dry grotto]

technically ofc you cant talk about you got it

[safe moat]

No matter what

[fiery mantle]

Yes, I think so too

[dry grotto]

Just dont be original source

[safe moat]

A game this big and its first testing will definetly have leaking

[dry grotto]

👀

[safe moat]

EA will probably try suppressing the leaks

[dry grotto]

even gta leaks

[sonic steeple]

[dry grotto]

Rockstar is like CIA of game industry

What factions you guys wish to see

[safe moat]

NATO

[vague barn]

NATO members beyond US and UK. PMCs similar in nature to Blackwater.

[half halo]

BF1 was amazing for that

I hope we get more than 2 factions

[dry grotto]

Me personally wish China and some middle east faction

[vague barn]

Oh, Blackwater has changed names; again.

[safe moat]

To what

[dry grotto]

Blackpond

[vague barn]

Blackwater > Xe > Academi > Constellis

[safe moat]

[dry grotto]

later to Black Eau de Paris

any country that isn't the us or russia

the british will be making an appearance judging by the uniforms in the teaser

[maiden moon]

In week it's Play test

[fleet robin]

so that's cool

[dry grotto]

British driving Abrams

They always done some funny stuffs

[vague barn]

I'm hoping that's indicative of a mixture of NATO countries present in the same level as opposed to just a quirk.

[heady trail]

Someone leaked their play session on reddit

[fleet robin]

i saw someone posted their email like a week ago

what an idiot

[dry grotto]

Or, NATO stuff is true

[safe moat]

Well, if its real they are getting blacklisted soon

[dry grotto]

you can switch unform around

they didnt show the opposition

[heady trail]

They say they're adding 7 classes, maybe taking bf2 approach

what 7 classes

what leak

what message

whats this about

What the helllllll

woah

thats some drastic action

E-sport has been a big thing in the past ^^

even ESL

wait, am i reading drag to revive in that list

[dry grotto]

I remember theres esport 2142?

[vague barn]

Would be pretty neat, but I wouldn't place any credibility in what the guy has written.

[dry grotto]

it will be fun if 32 people actually coordinates

[drowsy shoal]

absolutely not, any leak right now could just be "oh hopefully it is like that"

32v32 lockers one life

If it would be true, the mods would have removed the post

some of it might still be though

Look what's happening now, the Call of Duty tournament is being held and the world is watching it. I hope the battlefield is there.🫶

If it's true it's by coincidence and not behind the scenes knowledge.

watching other people get money for being good at video games sounds like an unfortunate situation tbh

i don't get it

Very much no. A game for everyone is a game for no one.

It's like, why would you dilute your game's experience in various areas while other games are already doing what you try to achieve better. Like??? Recipe for disaster, Just make BF BF again please

If the Email was real, you wouldn’t be able to talk about it

[safe moat]

Schizophrenic?

[half halo]

It would be "Hey Notepads, the Penguins wants YOU to reclaim the Battlefield, please sign this NDA to join the conquest"

[vague barn]

Well, I'm sure that will stop everyone from sharing it.

Sure, bud.

[safe moat]

You talk about the email and Vince Zampella comes personally to your home with a 12 Gauge shotgun to blast off your kneecaps

[keen timber]

The game should be more strategic, complex and realistic.

[half halo]

BREAKING NEWS - BATTLEFIELD LABS IS CANCELLED

[vague barn]

Bro did a 180. From "it should be a game for everyone" to "it should be more strategic, complex and realistic".

[bitter rover]

🫠 imagine

[safe moat]

Me when I try to ragebait people

[vague barn]

I 100% believe you. /s

[safe moat]

[heady thorn]

A game for everyone, is a game for no one ^^

[vague barn]

Indeedelidoodad.

[half halo]

The message is trye

[barren fulcrum]

Haha I dont think anyone got an Email because they said it will be soon and we know what that means 🤣

[half halo]

Well I found the actual message you're reffering too

[bitter rover]

Tomorrow

[vague barn]

Inshallah brother

[half halo]

But it's the old message from the regsitration, it's not even about confirmation

this was BAIT

[keen timber]

We want a lot of side game modes, for example 128 players, it was very fun and breaks the routine

[barren fulcrum]

No one want 128 ever again.....

[heady thorn]

there is some who do.

[barren fulcrum]

The Studio self said that was a dumb idea

[plain bluff]

a vocal minority

[barren fulcrum]

And test in Battlefield 3 with 128 players revealed that's a bad idea

[vague barn]

1. Please stop.
2. 128 players was a mistake.
3. Everything is better in threes.

[keen timber]

The zombie mode in Call of Duty breaks the routine. I hope there will be something similar in the battlefield.

[heady thorn]

Yes, but there is some!

[vague barn]

Now we're talking, you're talking from a subjective standpoint using the individual instead of the collective.

Still no thanks from me though.

[fleet robin]

i'm still waiting for the coop dinosaur survival mode

[bitter rover]

Battlefield zombies 🤫

[keen timber]

Look at Fortnite, it was launched in 2017 and is still one of the best games, and the reason is the multiple continuous game modes.

[fleet robin]

why do we have so many people baiting today

go get a hobby

[vague barn]

Bröther, stop.

[vague barn]

Can confirm, very good pastime.

[half halo]

Damn, just realized I never received the registration despite having registered on the website. RIP, it's over for me soliders

[keen timber]

I am just a person who says new ideas. Anyway, I hope the game is successful. We are waiting for it impatiently.🫵❤️

[bitter rover]

Naw

[tidal harness]

so what do i do if i dont have the playtest on my EA account even though i signed up 57 times?

[half halo]

Sadly @bitter rover 😦

[vague barn]

Pretty poor ideas, in my subjective personal opinion.

[bitter rover]

You gonna make it

[edgy adder]

Lol my registration got confirmed today

[half halo]

I'm happy for you guys

[edgy adder]

🙏

[half halo]

Luck is never on my side anyway lmao

I lost my apt due to a flood the other day, 2025 starting with a Bang lmao

[edgy adder]

Have you done any playtests before?

[half halo]

Yes

I've actually done quite a few 🙂

[edgy adder]

Oh damn sorry abt that

[half halo]

Thanks 🙂 Nothing I could have done about it, it was a city pipe

Somebody messed up during the building's construction

[edgy adder]

I hope you were insured?

[half halo]

Yes, thankfully! I'm now relocated somewhere else while they repair the other place, but the relocation doesn't feel like home, even after 4 weeks

[edgy adder]

Well good luck then

[half halo]

Thanks brother! 🙂

[edgy adder]

Which games have you playtested before?

[half halo]

You better give proper feedback on my behalf if you ever get through for the playtests! 😉

I can't disclose what they were, but I can say they were not battlefield

[edgy adder]

I'm gonna give the worst feedback possible I'm making sure operators and 128p return 😈

[half halo]

Oh god

We are cooked

[edgy adder]

I playtested bf2042 and pvzbfn and they both became failures idk if its a good sign that I will be playtesting this game 💀💀

[half halo]

OOPS

I guess they know I'm gonna buy the game anyway lol, so they don't care if I playtest or not lol

[spice bramble]

I'm looking at some of the developers profiles and they're all quite new

Dang I hope they cook something up

[half halo]

Welp, I'll go drink some booze to pass the disappointment

[severe elm]

Got my "Registration Complete" email today but when I visit the BF labs page it still says sign-up. I was already signed up for EAplaytests, is this just waiting game now to see content?

[spice bramble]

If you click the sign up, it will just make you sign in

That's how it is

[severe elm]

gotcha

[half halo]

In what region are you guys? By curiosity?

[severe elm]

Just realized i coudln't read the text in my email because the font was white on white background LOL - I actually can read the email now that I highlighted it and it says "An email will be sent to this address if selected for testing" which I had clearly missed earlier.

I am in Canada

[spice bramble]

Czechia

[vague barn]

Northern Europe

[half halo]

I'm in Canada too... Ugh

[plain bluff]

Croatia represent

[stray veldt]

Scandinavia gang

[spice bramble]

Anyway, one thing I haven't seen being discussed are parachutes and fall damage

Clicked on a Warzone video and seeing as you can deploy the chute after jumping from a 1 meter height is uh

interesting

[half halo]

Depends what we are aiming for here: Realism or fun gameplay?

[spice bramble]

Middle ground

[edgy adder]

They should give you 1 parachute per life

[half halo]

People would either ask for it to be kept like this or to remove fall damage within X amount of meters to compensate

[spice bramble]

No lol

But in 2042 you barely took any fall damage and could jump from reaally high

If they just went back to BF3/4 style that'd be fine

Can't be too fast paced but can't be a slugfest either

[half halo]

lol, got hyped for a second receiving an email from EA, but it was just for another playtest for next week... Sigh

[stray veldt]

i like the way they did it in bf5

[half halo]

I like what it was in BF1

Wait, I'm biased

[stray veldt]

where you rolled out of high-ish drops but it wasn't ridiculous

[spice bramble]

I just don't want them to completely negate fall damage lol

Battlefield needs gravity

[half halo]

In normal game modes I'm all for fall damages, in a warzone like mode, people are always mobile, so it needs to be balanced differently

[spice bramble]

I'm not against Warzone having it

I was trying to compare how the chutes work in different games

[half halo]

Of course

It depends on the map design as well

[spice bramble]

Battlefield needs to have the sense of weight whilst having movement, of course not mil-sim like

[half halo]

Very true

[stray veldt]

i support parachuting if you're jumping off a really high building, like 10 stories up

[half halo]

I'm curious to see what the movement speed is

[stray veldt]

or skyscrapers like in bf4

so you can do basejumping etc

[spice bramble]

I just know that in BF4 you could parachute from basically as high as a rock lol

Played BF1 and I faceplanted the floor

[stray veldt]

but maybe parachute takes a moment to deploy so you can't do it from the 1st or 2nd floor

i cant remember how they did it in bf1

[half halo]

People hated BFV for having too much animations

I can't see this idea not receiving backlash

I personally wouldn't mind, but that's something I read a lot

[spice bramble]

I like BF V's animations but I didn't play enough to judge how they affect gameplay

But tactical roll and backwards proning + crouch running sounds great to me

[vague barn]

Man, Ian from Forgotten Weapons is an American national treasure.

[quasi hinge]

Hear me out instead of battlefield labs we get battlefront 3

[spice bramble]

naw

[half halo]

Battlefront 3 would have been cool to get, but after 2042, they really need to get their game strong on the basics

[stray veldt]

i think they want a sure 100% Battlefield win

after all the rocky launches

[half halo]

Even if they would not want, they don't have a choice

the launch needs to be flawless

or like BF1 at release at least

[vague barn]

It definitely will not be flawless. At all. There's going to be so much stuff wrong. I think the major thing they are going for is to get the core systems to feel good enough to make players stick around over time.

[half halo]

I know it won't be, but they need to still aim for it.

[vague barn]

Oh absolutely, but I think it's important to keep expectations low. Hopes can be kept high, but expectations should be fairly low.

[half halo]

Expectations? Yeah, we don't do that here.

[spice bramble]

I expect a 5 star dish

[sand spire]

How many are getting accepted?

[vague barn]

Starting with a few thousand, increasing over time to a few tens of thousands.

[sand spire]

Yeah. I got a email back about it.

[proven kernel]

about acceptation or just info

[sand spire]

Accepted.

[proven kernel]

so they sent out those e-mails already about who got accepted?

[finite galleon]

no

[safe moat]

And if they did, they can’t admit it

As the email is considered confidential

[finite galleon]

really? thought the game info is under nda not if you received an email

[sand spire]

[proven kernel]

XD

[spice bramble]

You expect people to be smart?

[safe moat]

No you already signed a general NDA about playtesting when you you made your EA Playtester account

The participation NDA is when testing begins

[finite galleon]

[safe moat]

Should have read the agreements

[safe moat]

Though this NDA is not too harsh

Basically you can’t share the contents of the email you get, you can’t share the contents of the playtesting you do

[sand spire]

So people must be getting accepted then.

[finite galleon]

Yeah

[sand spire]

Alrdy

[safe moat]

The harsh one is when participation begins

[finite galleon]

even if its nda someone will leak

[sand spire]

That was fast.

[finite galleon]

its inevitable

[dense bobcat]

have they capped the testers yet? or is it still reasonable to expect an email in the future?

[safe moat]

Probably capped internally and sending the emails in waves

[sand spire]

That was what I wanted to know. How many. Will it be thousands or hundreds of thousands

[safe moat]

A few thousand for the beginning

[finite galleon]

first wave is thousands

[safe moat]

Then they will expand when the time comes

[proven kernel]

so i still got change maybe

[safe moat]

Maybe

But the chance of you being selected is REALLY low

Like nearly 0.30%

[sand spire]

So higher the player count. The softer the NDA I assume. Cause trusting 100k ppl would be like trusting my dog alone with my food.

[safe moat]

Because of assumed 1.5 million registrations

[finite galleon]

i got a question, did they specify if the playtesting will be remote? like on your pc at home or not?

[safe moat]

No, NDA will be the same

[dense bobcat]

sad, Battlefield has been my favorite shooter franchise since I got my hands on BC1

[safe moat]

Yeas, Labs will be remote testing

[finite galleon]

ok good

[safe moat]

But if you live in a place where you can go to their offices under 2 hours, you will have the option to go to their offices and attend a physical playtest

[heady trail]

It will be remote

[finite galleon]

Nah im in Poland no way lol

[heady trail]

Im in canada

[finite galleon]

near montreal?

[heady trail]

Toronto

[safe moat]

I have one new email and its for my flight tomorrow

Sadge

[proven kernel]

any advantages to that in comparison with remote testing?

[safe moat]

More direct approach to devs, possibly better setups

[finite galleon]

feedback face to face probably

[random rampart]

So Hyped :/

[safe moat]

And the ability to ask questions to devs

[deep mica]

i love how people troll by saying that emails ve been sent🤣

[random rampart]

Turkish?

[finite galleon]

And if you live in sweeden would be cool to walk around the dice studio

[random rampart]

I got 25 email Invites want some?

[deep mica]

"my dad works at microsoft i know ur IP"

[safe moat]

I let my Turkish slip away

[deep mica]

[random rampart]

I mean Are u Turkish ?

[deep mica]

huehuehue

[safe moat]

[deep mica]

baklava is

[random rampart]

Good

[deep mica]

[random rampart]

🫨🫨

[deep mica]

baklava isnt my favorite out of all

[random rampart]

I Like it but cant eat more than 3

In my Young years i ate 10+ of them

[deep mica]

tzatziki is irreplaceable

you can put it everywhere

i certainly do

i can consume a bucket every day

[random rampart]

Cacik :/

[deep mica]

i was gonna post a week ago a reddit post with cool ideas, and they dont allow me to

about bf 6

[random rampart]

Im Sure you got good ideas

[deep mica]

i have no clue why they are so strict about posting

[random rampart]

To avoid Leaks I guess

[vague barn]

Wishlisting in Reddit is generally discouraged/disallowed.

[deep mica]

they arent groundbreaking and are basically the war doctrine of the 101st airborne of the US

throwing ideas, not wishing

i even tagged it as a discussion

posted some vehicles that are top tier rn

[vague barn]

How does that translate into a Battlefield game though?

[deep mica]

you wanna hear?

[vague barn]

Sure.

[deep mica]

Basically my post started by bashing how we ve been having the abrams m1 for 20 years as the main vehicle in the franchise, whilst most of NATO and EU have the same numbers of Leopards 1+2s, challys and leclercs even, but lets focus on the leo2 that is mass produced like m1.

i started thinking after this what ideas would be cool for marketing and the players as well

i have the post drafted i can send it to ya

[vague barn]

Go ahead.

[pulsar shard]

Did anyone got a Registration Complete email?

[deep mica]

but basically i introduced the boxer IFV that is insnaely modular

as a cool idea

[finite galleon]

they wouldnt tell you

[vague barn]

Send it into my DMs.

[deep mica]

ye, its under nda

[pulsar shard]

Cause i only got my Registration Complete email in only one of my 2 emails

[finite galleon]

i didnt get any emails after i registered so idk

lol

[fervent eagle]

read mail entirely mate, we can't discuss about it.

[prime steppe]

i didnt get any registration complete emails lol

[pulsar shard]

I thought this was normal,because when you first register there should be a confirmation for your registration

btw did they battlefield labs playtest expired? cause i dont see them anymore in the playtests available

[cedar jasper]

no

theres text on white color

lmao

[hearty fiber]

trueeeee

[cinder nymph]

Maybe a hint for some hidden clue behind color filters 😂

[hearty fiber]

just saw it lmao

i just hope its not this weekend ot the other i am not at home

[covert stag]

Lol

[pulsar shard]

When i go to the site to register for the labs it says

there is no available play tests

[steel obsidian]

Got mine about an hour ago

[pulsar shard]

same i got it in one of my emails,but when i try to register in one of my alt emails it says there is no available play tests

so this happens when they have selected you as a tester i presume

[safe sluice]

Got mine about 45 mins ago anyone know whats after registration complete

[pulsar shard]

when you get this email the register for the labs dissapears from the website

but i cant find the email on my other account

[gleaming pebble]

making the email with white text wasnt the best idea imo

was really confused at first coz all i could see was the picture

[velvet solstice]

just realized there is text after reading your msg lmao

battlefield turning into spyfield? lol

[compact lake]

I got an email, how do I accept? For Ps5

wieso???

[kindred haven]

nei nur spass, die hend mer eifach no nöt gschick

hmm bro ich han mail becho aber weiss nöd wie witer

[kindred haven]

i de mail staht nüt was mache muesch?

[compact lake]

ich chan nöd so guet english ich zeigs ame kolleg

du hesh dich aber au sho agmeldet?

[kindred haven]

Ja voll

aber bin wohl nöd oder no ig iglade worde ersti test phase ladets nur es paar tussig lüt i also chasch di recht glücklich schetze

why is that?

[compact lake]

[kindred haven]

ich druck der de dume, susch hausch de email inhalt mal in chatgpt de übersetzt der das scho

[compact lake]

machi bro danke dir au viel glück

[heady trail]

oh well

[pulsar osprey]

there was a DICE studio in New York?

[cold belfry]

I got the email as well but just see a picture with no text, also there are agreements at the bottom but no way to accept them. Any else having this happen?

[feral garden]

Read the text inside the giant red box...

[cold belfry]

Can do!

Just didn’t know if there was anything else I needed to do

[pulsar osprey]

improvement on the nonverbal ground to air comms would be cool.

[nimble bridge]

Battlefront 3 would be cool if it wasn't made by DICE. It just competes with Battlefield and divides the playerbase and developers. So you get half baked games like BFV and BFr2 during launch

[compact lake]

guys i had the email too but what now???

[feral garden]

Read it.

[nimble bridge]

Looks like I'm not accepted

[random vessel]

Any chance they’re still sending emails out? Didn’t get one 😦

[pulsar shard]

Mine came late today,but on my other email i cant find it yet,and the site doesn't let me register again

[gusty nest]

Wait so if you got an email you’re good and if you didn’t you aren’t in? My friend was wondering.

[feral garden]

Any emails being sent out mean nothing related to being accepted to test. So people should just chill.

[cold belfry]

Yes sir

[rustic crest]

What's the email say ?

[charred dome]

I accidentally permanently deleted the email that EA sent me. I'm not sure if the deleted email contained a test link. If I was selected, would I be able to see the relevant information in the "Playtests Available" list on the Electronic Arts homepage?

[fleet robin]

yes

playtesting emails will redirect you to the website anyway

[tepid plinth]

That if you disclose the contents of the email you will be struck down by an orbital laser

[cold belfry]

[crystal fossil]

I heard someone play tested the new bf ?

[nimble bridge]

Me

[golden zenith]

it says happy valentine's day

[hard sable]

Best valentines gift ever if you ask me.

[random vessel]

How recently did you get your emails?

[noble jetty]

Praying I get an email

I did the survey twice because my friend had me tweaking

Hoping that didn't fuck anything up

[sharp spindle]

Yup. I received a confirmation email, more precisely 7 hours ago. This is my first official email received since my registration.

[noble jetty]

Shit bro some of yall r some lucky mfs

[random vessel]

For those who did receive emails are you BF veterans?

[noble jetty]

Probably not?

That's not how they pick

[mossy marten]

the emails aren't even an invite

i don't know why people are so concerned

[quasi hinge]

And how early did you register?

[mossy marten]

i didn't get an email, just seen screenshots on twitter

[random vessel]

Oh really? Thats relieving then. It’s just no one is talking about the contents of it so it definitely sounds like an invite

[mossy marten]

the screenshots i've seen say it's under NDA technically. even if it's just a registration confirmation

[random vessel]

From what I’ve heard they didn’t send out registration confirmation

[sharp spindle]

Yes, BF veteran since 2005

[nimble bridge]

Veterans since '42 😎

[wispy dagger]

Aren’t all emails from ea playtesting confidential

[mossy marten]

technically, yes. at least i believe so
but some person just posted it on twitter randomly

[hallow escarp]

if people were getting emails they would already get leaked

[mossy marten]

r/gamingleaks

[hallow escarp]

did they get leaked there

[mossy marten]

no, just sit there are watch it is what i was trying to say lol

[hallow escarp]

ohhh

[mossy marten]

something's bound to show up there

[terse egret]

it could be fabricated too. just like the "GTA" "leaks" of oh the 2nd trailers coming out this day. could just be a spoof

especially if only 1 person posts it

[mossy marten]

that's how it is with leaks 🤷‍♂️
take it with a grain of salt always

[terse egret]

yup

[hallow escarp]

playtests start next week

[terse egret]

I feel once it gets out, then youtubers are going to cover that people are posting stuff or its going to be posted every where of people getting access

[hallow escarp]

nda do nothing

its still getting leaked lol

[terse egret]

yup, people just dont care or to excited,

[odd agate]

NDA probably just a precautionary thing

Still though, you better be safe than sorry.

[odd agate]

I was born in '05...

[mossy marten]

Making me feel old

[random vessel]

Hey is BF Labs listed under Playtests in Progress for you all? It was for me until I took the survey again by accident, now it’s not listed

Don’t know if that matter or not

[crystal fossil]

That testplay will be widely spread on youtube just like 2042 lol

[sacred vault]

it wasn't for me either for a few weeks, i think it's to do with a long queue of applicants

if you've already completed it you're good

[mild girder]

Yea, EA just made these mails bc so many people complained that they didn’t get a confirmation mail. You guys happy now?!

[pulsar shard]

I only got this email in only one of my 4 emails

[mild girder]

When you signed up, you normally shouldn’t see the sign up again since you are already in it

[mild girder]

Probably not

[mild girder]

You didn’t

You only got a confirmation mail, that’s all

[vivid bronze]

People sadly dont Respect NDAs and dont even know what they are. They just want access to the game to make media content etc. Thats why a large scale test shouldnt happen in such a state

[ember summit]

source?

His source is he made it up

[vague barn]

Which is really sad.

IDK why Discord gifs aren't embedding

[spice bramble]

no perms

[safe moat]

Because we don’t have embed perms

[weary sandal]

yeah i wonder why they wouldnt give every user here embed perms nothing could go wrong

why are people still surprised

[spice bramble]

How do you even get the regular member role?

[stray veldt]

you dont

EA removed that capability

[weary sandal]

[weary sandal]

in the game? sir this is a discord server

[gritty hearth]

In the Discord server, apologies, member with higher status than I.

Here’s the neat part

You don’t

You'll get it once you least expect it.

[tepid plinth]

I just wanna post clips man

[mild girder]

And lose their account lol

[spice bramble]

meow

[gritty hearth]

W pfp.

[tepid plinth]

If this many people are breaking nda already I hate to see what’ll happen when tests actually start lol

[vague barn]

I'm betting a fair few people have burner accounts designed to be expendable for this type of thing.

[tepid plinth]

Honestly in most cases I doubt that. People just don’t read

[vague barn]

In most cases they won't, but I am pretty certain some people do.

Quick question; what are the opinions on high power optics on non-sniper rifles? Personally I would like to see them available for Sniper Rifles and DMRs, but not the other classes, but still more weapon systems than just sniper rifles á BF4.

[tepid plinth]

Given how dmrs would already be balanced to not be as effective at long range, I don’t really mind

[vague barn]

I guess a follow up question would be; how do people feel about LPVOs? Should they be implemented with the full range of magnification levels? Should they be limited to a set range of the realistic range of magnification levels? Exempli gratia; the Vortex RAZOR 1-6x optic is rather common in sneaky people circles, would you want to see the ability to use the full range of magnification levels between 1 and 6 or should it be limited to some other range of magnification levels?

[vague barn]

Yeah, they wouldn't be as effective at long range but I suspect it'd be useful in, albeit few, some scenarios.

[versed token]

They're borderline useless on ARs so nothing of value would be lost

[vague barn]

True. I doubt anyone puts them on anything other than sniper rifles or DMRs even in 2042, maybe some madmen put them on LMGs though?

[versed token]

I've seen a few put em on their ARs and Lmgs

[tepid plinth]

Revolver go zoooom

[versed token]

Granted these weren't the most talented individuals

[vague barn]

lmao

I actually did rather like that 1-4x optic in 2042, I can't remember it's 2042 name but the one based on the Elcan SpecterDR 1-4x optic.

[vale burrow]

did invites go out?

[feral garden]

No

[cold belfry]

Indeed my friend

Hopefully they have more revolvers in the new game. Just wanna run around with a big iron

[gritty hearth]

Battlefield 3/4 type intro for Battlefield Labs?

🙏

[weary mantle]

yea. On September 1, 2004, Digital Illusions CE bought Trauma Studios which became DICE New York. Trauma Studios created the Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942

they also worked on Battlefield 2

I actually didn't know that's what DICE stood for.

Grew up playing battlefield with the family. Sadly didn’t play anything before BF3 though

[weary mantle]

just for context though there was really nothing like Desert Combat mod for 1942 out at the time. Maybe Novalogic's Delta Force games but nothing really got sandbox style modern combat with vehicles right like Desert Combat, until the that team got hired by DICE/EA to help make Battlefield 2 essentially Desert Combat but from an AAA studio

[weary mantle]

not a bad entry. within the entire library I put 3 up there

[cold belfry]

Loved that game. BF4 is probably my favorite though

[weary mantle]

i reinstalled 4 yesterday haha. it still holds up 🙂

gulf of oman map was nostalgic...been playing that map for legit 20 years now I guess....lol

[cold belfry]

I might do the same!

[weary mantle]

just solid pacing, you kind of always feel engaged in something going on. sounds kind of cliche to say nowadays, but I had more "battlefield moments" in BF4 yesterday than in a while. It's not like anything crazy impressive happened from my end, either...just the way things happen in BF4 are more fun

[cold belfry]

I enjoy BF2042 as well, Especially with friends, but I always get that one unemployment lobby where you just gotta put the controller down and rethink life

[gritty hearth]

I tried to play Multiplayer one of my college's gaming PCs. I couldn't.😭

[gritty hearth]

Now, just imagine if it got a campaign.

It just might have been peak.

[cold belfry]

Facts

[gritty hearth]

It's a shame, because the premise of 2042 is SO good.

At least in my eyes.

Anyone going to the Guildford branch for BF Labs? I'm digressing but I'm just curious.

[heady thorn]

[safe moat]

2042 had THE BEST world setting just to be used in Hazard Zone

[gritty hearth]

Glorious.

[gritty hearth]

I'm surprised I've seen no YT videos that have written a campaign for Battlefield 2042.

[safe moat]

Like you have an amazing world setting with a potentionally great future but you dont make a campaign for it

And go for an extraction shooter mode

[gritty hearth]

Sounds like Black Ops 4 to meeee

[safe moat]

Because the original premise of 2042 WAS Hazard Zone

The game was supposed to be more focused about HZ

[heady thorn]

Some might not have written a campaign for it, but there is a story and can be all found on this site (fan-made, but its incredibly good) https://theexodusarchives.com/

[gritty hearth]

Is that shooting yourself in the foot? I think it is.

[fleet robin]

agree with this so much

[safe moat]

That’s why they made operators and such

[fleet robin]

2042 had the best setting yet

[gritty hearth]

Thank you for this.

[safe moat]

There is a story

If you look hard enough in maps and character stories

But like…..

2042 deserved a campaign

And that’s why I hope they make a in-depth story and a very good campaign for the new Battlefield

[fleet robin]

for sure

[gritty hearth]

"Take this new MC, it's yours now."

[fleet robin]

2042 would've been great for war stories too

[gritty hearth]

Eff arr, dude.

[mild girder]

Guys I got an Invite

[gritty hearth]

Already has banger cover art (not anymore since it was changed)

[gritty hearth]

BS

NO WAY

[mild girder]

An invite to a birthday party

[safe moat]

While I don’t expect a COD like story(good ones dont worry) I also expect a story that’s better than BF3/4

[mild girder]

[safe moat]

[gritty hearth]

[gritty hearth]

[mild girder]

Nah, ea did send mails today, but those are just confirmation mails bc many people cried about it

People already leaked them

[pallid coral]

rip

[gritty hearth]

I see.

I'll check my own emails.

[mild girder]

You get those codes? I need to wait like a week lol

[fleet robin]

shouldn't talk about leaks

[pallid coral]

i get em pretty instantly

[mild girder]

There is no rule against it as far as I know

[gritty hearth]

That is true, but I don't think that means you should.

[fleet robin]

it's pretty clearly outlined that leaks aren't allowed

also it's the official discord, kinda common sense

they've gone after people for leaks before

[mild girder]

But not as badly as Nintendo

They are scary

[gritty hearth]

I secretly work for Nintendo, you're getting sued just for mentioning our name.

[timid needle]

time to light them candles boys!

[mild girder]

BUT I WAS GONNA BUY ALL POKÉMON GAMES AND THE NEW SWITCH PLS HAVE MERCY

[timid needle]

maybe bffriends will return

[safe moat]

Nintendo sends the ninja’s after you

And the Yakuza if you emulate their games

[timid needle]

we just tariff their ass its fine

[gritty hearth]

Hahaha! Mercy? Never heard of it.

So long-eh, HelpMaster!

[fleet robin]

the samurai still exist, they all work under nintendo

[gritty hearth]

What Kate said.

[compact lake]

when can we play the labs?

[tepid plinth]

When they say you can, if you have access

We don’t know and they won’t tell us

[nimble bridge]

Tomorrow

[mild girder]

you say tomorrow like everyday lol

[nimble bridge]

People are asking the same question everyday

[mild girder]

Fr, either its "When can we play?" or "are invites out?"

[random rampart]

Are invites out?

[mild girder]

Yes but you are the only person that wont get one

[random rampart]

Why 😦

I give you some

[gritty hearth]

You'll get your invite when you fix this DAMN DOOR!

[weary mantle]

wasn't 2042 originally designed with extraction shooter or BR in mind?

could be talkin smack....there were a ton of bogus articles around launch

[safe moat]

Yes, Hazard Zone

Welp, my flight got delayed for 5 hours. Time to watch some series then

[weary mantle]

complete history of Battlefield games on youtube is only 4:20:24 but that should suffice

you could have it restart from the beginning once it finishes the 1st time

[wispy dagger]

I’ve got an article that goes into detail how battlefield2042 was gonna be a BR and portal was supposed to hold over the traditional fans

[safe moat]

Nah I will binge Moon Knight from starting to end

[weary mantle]

nice

[weary mantle]

the map size(s) and atmosphere felt more suited for a BR to me

[gritty hearth]

We got Battlefield V where's my Battlefield X?

[wispy dagger]

100% that’s why there was no change squad mid game and no scoreboard

“Legacy features”

[weary mantle]

makes sense

[wispy dagger]

I can forward you the article if you want

[spice bramble]

You guys think they should introduce vehicle classes again

Like in BF1

[nimble bridge]

Nah

[gritty hearth]

Anyone got some Battlefield tips for me in preparation for Battlefield Labs?

[mossy marten]

play the games
not 2042 tho

[nimble bridge]

BF6 will be 2042:2 so play 2042

[wispy dagger]

So negative lol

[nimble bridge]

I'm not being negative but it's a trend in DICE games

BF4 was BF3:2
BFV was BF1:2
BF6 will be 2042:2

In terms of how they feel

[wispy dagger]

Not even close

[mossy marten]

BFV was not BF1 2.0 lmaooo

bf4 being bf3 2.0, sure, but not bfv

[wispy dagger]

If you go back and play 3 and 4 now you will see the differences

But yes they were somewhat similar

But that’s because they were both modern setting
