battlefield-6

[frozen thorn]

Oh yeah, putting it on the nose will send them in a nose dive

[dawn peak]

Hey guys, got an invite for the playtest on friday, but i need to click on the rsvp button to take part but i wont work?!?! Anyone got a fix for this problem or the same problem?

[frozen thorn]

Also, friendly C4 on the cockpit messes with the first person UI so they have rectangles and blue icons in front of them

[frozen thorn]

I heard they sent out a 2nd email to fix this issue

[dawn peak]

Ah thx you, hope it will arrive soon. The email says i have to click the button until 12 am today

[spare socket]

what's wrong with the a-10?

[deep glade]

The a10 makes my thing tingle

[spare socket]

i mean

Does anyone know from what time the game is available at 10-10

Midnight ? Or later

[errant fiber]

If the 2042 countdown is accurate: <t:1760108400:F>

[proper nexus]

Thank you !

[errant fiber]

All good! Neuken in de keuken by the way.

Xddd

[urban robin]

Battlefield 6 will shock the world to its core

[errant fiber]

Absolutely will, question is whether that'll be a positive or negative shock.

[urban robin]

Time can only tell. Either way, the world will use it as a new era moving forward

[sudden prism]

bf6 will take over fps games

[spare socket]

I oddly would not mind if the game was delayed to mid november

[errant fiber]

Probably so. There's unfortunately a plethora of way DICE/EA can screw this up both in term of release and post-release decisions.

[spare socket]

since I have a 6 hour exam I have to study for and take in mid october

[sudden prism]

i would not mind if it was delayed until next year

[urban robin]

🗣️

[errant fiber]

Best of luck on the exam boyo

[spare socket]

it's so boring

[urban robin]

Yeah... EA loves to screw things up man. At least it won't be like BO6... I hope

[lusty tree]

Pain is temporary, success is permanent

[errant fiber]

What's the subject? Far eastern pre-historic animal migrations?

[sudden prism]

[urban robin]

The wise has spoken

[lusty tree]

Bf6 will not only take over fps games, but it will teach all of em a lesson

[sudden prism]

i wish they kept the beta running until the game officially launches

[urban robin]

HELL YEAH!

[lusty tree]

HELL YEAH

[errant fiber]

I'm trying so hard to not fall into the Führerbunker mindset with regard to BF6, but I will admit that the game has infiltrated my cart on a few occassions.

[tight prism]

Oh boy, sounds great. I remember a three hourish one I had to take once. Multiple choice then three very different essays on material we had no clue the contents of until the time started ticking.

[young tinsel]

is it too late to get an invite if I just joined the playtest platform now and completed my preferences?

[urban robin]

Well, Ive become a fallen soldier... But at least I know it will make 2042 nothing after playinf the beta

[spare socket]

dental admissions test.

Includes:
perceptual ability
biology
chemistry
organic chemistry
reading section (very boring scientific articles)
math section (easy)
a bit over 280 problems in 4 hours and 15 minutes.
Check in and out time of 45 minutes (average)
break period of 1 hour (2, 30 minute sessions)

[tight prism]

It is just based on drawing names out of a hat, so as long as they are still drawing, no.

[spare socket]

I like dentistry but some of the stuff on this exam has no actual relation to the field

[errant fiber]

Oh dear, an aspiring dentist in our midst.

[lusty tree]

One of the most well paid jobs

[spare socket]

I don't really wanna be a dentist exactly. I want more difficult procedures. The goal is maxillofacial surgery.

[errant fiber]

Tragically, all medical professionals here are criminally underpaid.

[lusty tree]

In my country they turn golden

[errant fiber]

My man wants to time travel to 1919 and do facial reconstruction surgery.

[lusty tree]

Damm

This inflation gonna kill us all

[spare socket]

it's more like tooth, jaw, and gum surgery.

[errant fiber]

Fair enough, either way, best of luck, chappy.

[spare socket]

some degrees of skull and mouth but mostly those 3

[spare socket]

tbf 2042's sheer development cycle if you showed its details to any sane human being

they would also say before its release that: yes this will be a steaming pile of dog water

without even seeing gameplay I would argue

I could detail that if you would be interested

I'm a nerd

[urban robin]

Tbf, after playing the beta for BF6, BF2042 feels like a step backwards. Obviously im used to it now, but man that took a while

[spare socket]

yeah but 2042's failures and why bf6 is even remotely as good as it is has a lot to do with

very odd choices from ea compounding with 2042

and back pedaling on those choices with time, budget, a good dev lead with experience in the industry (vince zampella), etc for bf6

the details of those choices range from the game lead of 2042 formerly being the game lead of candy crush mobile (ie a yes man) to covid railing the entire production in many spectacular ways to Executives feeling the game was "ahead of schedule" based on concept art

[deep glade]

Well the BF6 devs haven’t touched a BF before

[spare socket]

and a loooot more which was wayyyy worse

[deep glade]

Hence why it plays like cod

[spare socket]

they also brought in experienced developers who know what they're doing

[deep glade]

From other titles

[spare socket]

some of the best veterans at respawn were repositioned to lead this game

those fellas have been in the industry since the original cod leaving infinity ward after mw2 (2009)

[deep glade]

Hence why the Frostbite engine was so hard work with for 42 lol

No one left with the proper experience or expertise on it

[spare socket]

it hadn't been significantly updated since 2016. Most veterans left with the new creative direction 2042 was going in

why EA would do an engine update for their game of a large scale with nobody experienced to work with it?

now of all times (when they want to implement business practices that would cause veterans to leave)

[solar nimbus]

people said this about bf3 when it came out

[spare socket]

who knows

[deep glade]

Cause clever management

[solar nimbus]

i just dont see how its similar to cod at all lmao if i did the movement i did in cod in bf6 id usually always get gunned down because ADS times are so much slower after jumping or sliding

[errant fiber]

One thing that has always confused me is how stakeholders can push for stupid mechanics that are universally distained within gaming circles. Like, given the amount of cash-money these people have, you'd think they'd be good at research and reasonably want the game to succeed so they can make money off of it.

[spare socket]

they need buzz words for share holders. Executives need something at investor meetings to make investors confident in their shares to not sell

[deep glade]

Most shareholders don’t know about the product in reality

[spare socket]

"ah yes we have this 128 player huge thing with major engine updates never before seen with a BR"

[deep glade]

They just see numbers

[spare socket]

"after apex has done well we felt it best to actually shift to a hero shooter"

[steady lynx]

I got an invite from BFlabs to test it out. How does it work? Has anyone done this before?

[spare socket]

"seeing the success of a game like tarkov we felt maybe doing an extraction shooter would be best considering the market of hero shooters right now"

[errant fiber]

I get that but I still don't get why they wouldn't do research on it to see why some elements are a bad idea.

[tight prism]

All of what you would be asking would be under the NDA you signed, there should be an email/discord for you to ask questions.

[spare socket]

stuff like that is what makes a game like 2042 only have 1 year and 3 months of actual post production development time

the game being in concept and pre production for 3 years and 9 months is insane

[deep glade]

Because that’s too much work to do for an investment

[steady lynx]

Thanks

[deep glade]

It’s large corporations that usually hold majority shares in EA, not individual shareholders

They just have businesses analytics that look at their numbers and decide to execute or not

[spare socket]

their new buzz word is thankfully something easy where they can't screw up "we have given the reins for our next title to a veteran in the game industry."

[errant fiber]

Okay, yeah, that's fair enough.

[spare socket]

thank the lord

[errant fiber]

and pass the ammunition

[deep glade]

Even Take Two (parent company of Rockstar Games) has share holder meetings. They also have to throw buzz words and expectations in there

[spare socket]

idk how any sane person thought having the game lead for your major ip should be someone whose only major prior work experience as a game lead was flipping candy crush mobile (this was for 2042)

thank god it's no longer that person

[worn marten]

And we’ll all stay free

[solar nimbus]

"What a time to be alive"

[tight prism]

You posited it was for a yes man and maybe so, I think it was because the one who has experience with that addiction-forming rabbit role was probably wanted to try to create a similar style success with cash flow.

[solar nimbus]

genuinely insane how contradicting the marketing and lore/theme of the game was

its so clear that there was a massive difference in who thought what about 2042

[spare socket]

I feel it's more so likely for a yes man. A guy like vince wouldn't stand for 3 direction shifts no matter the reason

[deep glade]

Apex Legends was the driving factor lol

An infinite cash stream

[errant fiber]

Idk the rest of the song.

[spare socket]

well the opposite actually

2042 was in development prior to apex. It was originally slated to be the major BR game EA wanted to push

[solar nimbus]

i also blame shitty deadlines for 2042s failure since the dev team were tasked to make a game JUST for BR but a year into dev they did the ol switcheroo and asked for a classic BF experience

then they had the audacity to not give any more delays

[spare socket]

EA didn't put much effort into apex, respawn and Vince did. They screwed with it post launch once vince left handling apex.

[worn marten]

I honestly can’t get behind or believe the ‘it was a BR’ stuff.

Yeah some elements look like it could have been, but it’s such a bewilderingly stupid idea that I can’t even imagine ea would do that

[spare socket]

it's a lot more than that tbh

[solar nimbus]

definitely is, i just dumbed it down a ton

[spare socket]

it shifted from initally being a mainline BF game, to being a dedicated BR, to being a hero shooter, to being an extraction shooter with specialists as a monetization option.

[solar nimbus]

but its still large enough to be a major reason

thats even worse lmao

imagine being a dev that just joined DICE and having to deal with all the changes

[spare socket]

it canned its br because it saw no reason to make a BR after:
A: firestorm failed
B: they didn't want to create competition with Apex at that time in the market. It would be making competition for your own IP

[kind snow]

It seems like 2042 will be more popular at launch but bf6 will be more positive

[spare socket]

2042 was not popular at launch at all

compared to prior titles

[errant fiber]

If I had a controller of any kind, I would currently spam the X button to express my doubt.

[solar nimbus]

popular in all the bad ways lol

[static kindle]

is there any chane a BF2042 coin carried in BF6?

[kind snow]

Popular as in player count

The amount of people playing and talking about it

[solar nimbus]

like the currency?

[spare socket]

again not popular at all. the talk surrounding the game was negative. the beta was poorly received. the initial player base was low. the player base rapidly dwindled within a month

[static kindle]

yes

[solar nimbus]

i think bf6 cosmetic system is alot different so they probably wouldnt carry over

camos coming back and supposedly different parts can be customised on the kits except the class identifiers

[kind snow]

Popular doesn’t always need positive

[deep glade]

Battlefield camos have always been lame

[spare socket]

The word you're looking for is infamous

[solar nimbus]

im fine with them if theyre free

skins should be paid/obtainable through challenges like in 2042

[spare socket]

or notorious

[deep glade]

Or 4

[tight prism]

Battlefield Currencies have never carried over before, likely will not this time.

If you have some, best to use for tier skips at this point.

[static kindle]

i agree, camo should be customizable in the attachment

[kind snow]

Popular works fine for what I said either way doesn’t matter

[errant fiber]

I liked BF4s camos, they were grounded and realistic. Granted some outliers like the DICE (LA) / CTE camos and what not but still.

[tight prism]

That one camo I was able to access during the beta looked nice.

[spare socket]

Language depends on social contexts and such, and using popular language negatively in some contexts could work. But when comparing two titles like bf6 and 2042 directly you should use language with more subtext/connotation imo.

It's like saying a hearty welcome or a cordial reception mean the same thing. They technically do but the connotations behind them paint distinct imagery and feelings.

[errant fiber]

Tbh I wouldn't mind an ability to repaint various components on the weapon separately, similar to Ghost Recon Breakpoint.

[deep glade]

Breakpoint is ass compared to wildlands imo

[solar nimbus]

really wish custom emblems could come back but its always more harm than good sadly

[errant fiber]

Well, I used Breakpoint as an example because my only memory from Wildlands is eating ice cream and becoming immortal.

[deep glade]

lol what

[errant fiber]

IF we see the return of platoons, I wouldn't mind having custom emblems as a platoon size dependent feature.

[warm barn]

I think they are gonna follow a very similar system when it comes to skins from 2042 but obviously more realistic

[static kindle]

yeah similar to payday 3, camos should not be applied to all corners of the weapon

[solar nimbus]

yea no doubt, that model makes quite a lot of money while still being accessible for most f2p and with grunt soldiers coming back i doubt most people would even care if they didnt have any

[tight prism]

Payday 3, what a disappointment. Single player is still technically a "beta."

[errant fiber]

My PC at the time wasn't the best so when me and a few friends went to assault a convoy in a heli they all died while the enemies didn't render for me so therefore I was immortal and could revive all of them and I happened to be eating ice cream irl at that time.

[rose pier]

Is BF price gonna stay 69.99 after release as well?

[spare socket]

you need to wait for a good steam sale tbh.

[deep glade]

Seems like s Ubisoft game

[warm barn]

Yeah exactly if they stick to their word on having grounded skins it will be really take it or leave it you won’t feel like you are forced to buy shit

[errant fiber]

Oh yeah.

[rose pier]

IIRC BF doesn't go on sale for almost a year after release

[warm barn]

I’ve been playing since 1942 so it’s good to see the game going back to a decent place

[spare socket]

That's generally how these games get their best price drop offs

[static kindle]

i agree, a heist that only a little. but im talking customizable weapon camo

[warm barn]

Beta was great but not holding my breathe

[solar nimbus]

if they do stuff like giving us irish's tombstone skin for free itd be peak

and it was really easy to do

[kind snow]

For at least 6 months probably why ?

[spare socket]

correct.

This might be the first game I'm purchasing full price near launch since borderlands 3

[rose pier]

Was just asking to know whether I should buy now or wait for release

[errant fiber]

Wait for release.

[warm barn]

Still haven’t managed to play it cause I gotta make an account to get on but I make an account then try sign in and it says passwords incorrect so I change it and it tells me password can’t be the same as previous one no matter what 😭

[spare socket]

the preorder bonus is a skin that's kinda eh

[warm barn]

Yeah hopefully man

[kind snow]

Why would the price go up/down after preorder phase is over ?

[unique parrot]

Breakpoint is good in its own way imo .. i think they leaned a little too much into "survival" for their fanbase (and it was pretty buggy at first)

[spare socket]

I'm not preordering tbh

[warm barn]

Even how bf4 gave you multiplayer items from the campaign I’d love that to come back

[tight prism]

Sounds about right.

[kind snow]

Either way if you like the game and know you will play it might aswell preorder

[rose pier]

Usually preorder price is higher than release price since it contains extra stuff no?

[unique parrot]

they r working on a new Ghost Recon game

[kind snow]

No ..?

[unique parrot]

... and Div 3

[errant fiber]

Yep, I'm rather excited for that.

[solar nimbus]

whats ur opinion on battle pickups?

[spare socket]

no

[warm barn]

Only reason I am is for tombstone pack 🥀

[unique parrot]

me too 🙂

[spare socket]

preorder price is never more than launch price

[warm barn]

Like the weapons you could find scattered around the place ?

[solar nimbus]

yea

[warm barn]

Bring it back personally they we’re great

[mint valley]

honestly, there needs to be an option for the skins:
1 - keep skins on
2 - toggle skins off
3 - toggle skins on, but only what you want to see so that you can see those who are wearing those specific skins. example, i can only see the no-pat skin in the nato assault, the bf3 us recon in the nato recon, the bf4 chinese support on the pax armata support, and the bf4 chinese engineer on the pax armata engineer (customization)

[warm barn]

Some were shit some were OP

[spare socket]

Imma be real. The chances of me using that skin post launch are beyond slim. I swear almost every pre order skin I've got or seen someone else get they never use at some point

[mint valley]

i want nato to stay as tan and green while pax as black and whatever color the player wants

[solar nimbus]

choices are like the easiest way to please everybody tbh id be surprised if they dont include it

[kind snow]

If they do this then they better make the most outrageous skins ever tbh

[warm barn]

Yeah that’s fair if you aren’t gonna use it no point spending money on a game that might not take off
I just want it cause it takes me back to bf4 days

[spare socket]

would be nice but something something share holders not liking cosmetics having less "visual weight" and maybe making a consumer not wanna get it to "show off"

[spare socket]

It's not even that tho like. I genuinely have 0 memory of a time I've used a pre order skin or have had a single friend or person I've met in an lfg post use a preorder skin

[solar nimbus]

its a really thin line but i genuinely believe anime/cartoon skins could be a thing if theyre just spray painted onto the vehicle/weapon very subtly

[mint valley]

it's up to the player on what they want to see

i for sure dont wanna see clowns in my battlefield

hell, i'd rather have tactical anime girls skins than have beavis and butthead skins in battlefield 6 /s

[solar nimbus]

i think 2042 handled it well without breaking the immersion too much

[spare socket]

most of the skins the game sells or allows you to earn generally make you just... not ever equip the pre order skin

[mint valley]

ok jk on the anime girls

[kind snow]

You like anime girls ?

[solar nimbus]

we have nato engineer and pax armata scout

[spare socket]

in a shooter? nah.
Some of them can be neat characters tho in their shows/manga

[mint valley]

but all jokes aside, having anime girls as a skin is going too far

better to have a police skin running around than that

[spare socket]

I wouldn't even want a police skin lmao

[solar nimbus]

having the actual characters as they are in bf6 is way too much

[errant fiber]

Military Police

[urban robin]

Oh please no anime skins

[solar nimbus]

which is why id rather them just be spray paints or smth

[kind snow]

Wdym

[tidal hound]

Anime girl gun skins are fine. In general gun skins can be more loose

[spare socket]

ehhhhh

[mint valley]

i'd rather be boots on the ground and be a nameless soldier than play as captain price

[spare socket]

[errant fiber]

No thanks.

[solar nimbus]

as in like their actual character from the show appear in the game itself and not as artwork or a separate decal/skin

[kind snow]

🤔 what about locally hosted skins

[solar nimbus]

like ones that can only appear to the user?

[kind snow]

Nah that would be client side skins

But same thing so yea

[tidal hound]

You're not seeing what gun skin another player has unless it's like the current BO6 trash

[spare socket]

I like cosmetics that fit the tone/vibe of the artstyle/aesthetic.

Halo and Battlefield have clear benchmarks for things that are clearly within and outside of the artstyle of those games

[solar nimbus]

theres plenty of cases where soldiers customise their own guns and vehicles with drawings or decals so i dont really mind a lil personality thats in the same form factor

[deep glade]

I think it’s a knife’s edge issue. People would feel let down if you couldn’t see their $4.99 skin

[kind snow]

I meannn most guns are full gray so if you see a glowing pink anime girl gun I’d think it would stand out

[spare socket]

like halo straight up can do samurai esque armor (it has). The original halo was inspired by 90s to 80s pop culture including gundam and anime for a lot of its aesthetic choices.

[errant fiber]

Doesn't matter, it's a slippery slope that I would rather not go down.

[solar nimbus]

i feel like warframe does cosmetics well, allowing verified creators on steam to make their own models whilst fitting the tone of the game

[spare socket]

ghost in a shell contributed a lot to the futuristic retro cassette aesthetic

[kind snow]

Well locally hosted skins would technically be free your thinking about client side skins 👀

[tidal hound]

So I guess we're not allowed those 2042 BP skins because they are orange?

[solar nimbus]

only bad thing tbh EA gets money hungry so damn easily

[errant fiber]

Tragically so, yes.

[kind snow]

Kj don’t lie, you have a anime as your banner you love anime girls

[deep glade]

Explain, I don’t think I understand

How would a locally hosted skin be free

[urban robin]

🥀 i hope you stub your toes, you damn feet lover

[kind snow]

wtf ? I love oranges

[kind snow]

Modification

[vapid linden]

There is a legitimate consideration for cheapening the product to some degree
They don't completely hate and disregard the sizable demographic that wants the game to be atleast slightly grounded

Otherwise the game would be full neon slop from the get go

[urban robin]

Bananas > oranges

[kind snow]

The banana bee ??

[deep glade]

It’s a public company, so it’s their objective unfortunately

[kind snow]

Change your name to it then if you really think that option is valid

[deft zephyr]

❌

[urban robin]

Yessir

[solar nimbus]

Yeah thats obvious to me, I just feel like if they saw anime skins becoming a big success theyd be willing to push the boundaries further

[knotty grotto]

The most beautiful thing ive ever seen in my life, is a bananana, next to a bananaaaaaaa!!!

[urban robin]

Okay fine you got me

[solar nimbus]

albeit theres a possibility where that isnt the case

[urban robin]

Banana! Banana! Banana!

[tight prism]

Girls Und Panzer crossover when.

[mint valley]

inb4 ea makes battlefield anime/weeaboo version

[spare socket]

tbh I struggle to choose a favorite fruit

Hell I used to hate honey dew but then I discovered the rare 1% instance you get truly fully ripe honey dew

[solar nimbus]

sign me up

[errant fiber]

I hope they stick to realistic, grounded skins. I don't care that there are velcro cat ears some people put on their FAST ballistic helmets in Ukraine, or that some guy in Afghanistan put an anime girl sticker on his rifle. I don't think it belongs in the type of game Battlefield strives to be.

[solar nimbus]

(joke)

[spare socket]

I chase this high in fruit

[urban robin]

Same here. Strawberry... Raspberry... Blueberry, green apple, red apple.... Too many

[short gust]

serious question, how will we recongnise the enemy based on uniforms after BF6 release with skins?

[spare socket]

apples I'm hella picky on. Honey crisp all the way. Macintosh sucks

[errant fiber]

We don't know.

[urban robin]

Gimme green apples and ill be a happy man. I love sour stuff

[errant fiber]

Hell yeah, amen to that.

[spare socket]

they're fun but honey crisp is that perfect meld of sweet and sour

[solar nimbus]

ur not wrong i feel like battlefield knows its serious but not too serious. Its a thing thats easily highlighted in old bf4 trailers

bf2042 kinda just did it for nostalgia bait

[tidal hound]

Boomers having an aneurism when they get told Battlefield has always been an arcade shooter

[solar nimbus]

when has it not been

[errant fiber]

What? How long have you been sitting on this information?

[urban robin]

Thats true... I just love to go full sour because... Idk man, its addictive as hell

[spare socket]

no joke they're a breed of apple that was intentionally cross bred by the university of minnesota's apple breeding program.

[tidal hound]

A lot of people think BF is a milsim

[spare socket]

those people are unfun and stupid

[errant fiber]

lmfao it definitely isn't.

[spare socket]

there's straight up battlefront 2 "milsims" and I'm like

y'all are cringe

[errant fiber]

At most it's a realism-leaning arcade shooter.

[deep glade]

This is a milsim, here we follow the chain of command and only deploy as ordered!

[spare socket]

And I rarely use that term

[deep glade]

Realism is getting blown up by a tank and getting defibrillated

[spare socket]

straight up this is the only reason milsims exist in BF and battlefront 2. They're there to create this stupid power dynamic of ranks that limit the tactics and things you can use in a game so people can feel "superior"

[solar nimbus]

although i do wish more infantry actually gathered around the tank to push and use it as cover

[urban robin]

BRUH

[solar nimbus]

i feel like people underestimate how good a full squad on a tank and an ifv on one team could be when trying to push or hold objectives

[deep glade]

Yes. Also why roleplay server exists in other games. Its people finally having power they lack IRL

[spare socket]

nah good roleplays can be genuinely cool. It's like dnd it's improv

[tidal hound]

But a sticker decal on a gun is unrealistic, apparently

[spare socket]

there's also bad roleplays

we don't talk about those

It's like saying milisms suck (relative to things like bf milsims and battlefront 2 milsims) when arma exists

[solar nimbus]

MW19 larpers 💔

[spare socket]

I don't even like arma

but still it has its audience

[errant fiber]

I mean, not entirely true. I have been in a variety of milsim groups for Arma games since like 2015 and some of them are like that, with the "sir" and "attention on deck" shit but those tend to die off rather quickly. My current milsim group is just people who like more structured enjoyment, where the chain of command acts more as a method to handle administrative tasks.

[deep glade]

Well that is a different sort of roleplay, when it’s just structure like that

[spare socket]

I still remember when a bunch of buddies and I found this super douchey role play server in the battlefront 2 discord and they thought they were "so professional".

We challenged their role play to a 20 v 20 game on the xbox japanese servers (they were console players and my buds all had xboxes and pcs).

We absolutely demolished them it wasn't even close

They insisted on 4 rematches and got murdered every time

They had stupid rules like: oh you can't play x class unless you're y rank.

ohhh you can't use these guns or this star card.

OHHH only the top rank players (the ones who sucked balls at the game) can play the heroes

meanwhile me and my friend Vesh just molly wopped them as Anakin and obi wan with our other 18 buds railing them with all the tools the game's sandbox had ☠️

hell we even had a bot to play star wars music in the background (we switched to fortunate son and immigrant song when we boarded their capital ship and blew it the hell up)

truly wonderous times

[versed rock]

I wonder what battlefield could of been as a milsim

[tight prism]

Probably HLL.

[deep glade]

Yeah, or Insurgency even

And Squad

[spare socket]

Likely not as popular tbh

[deep glade]

HLL still plays like battlefield lol

[spare socket]

frankly idk how it would release the time it did as a milsim

the technology for that wasn't really there at the time

it made its mark being what it was at the scale it was at the right time

[daring basin]

Boring camping

[spare socket]

and mostly continued innovating its franchise from there

[tight prism]

A very very slow, slow battlefield, haha.

I still remember having a two minute respawn penalty from blueberries running into my artillery fire(and some shots that were just too close).

[versed rock]

Popularity, sales, sure would be much less. However, as a game could it be better. I feel, it’s a paradox, an arcade type game would obviously sell better. Although, on the other hand, I feel a milsim would ‘enhance’ the Battlefield experience. But that being said, would be a greater contradiction to the ‘games’ objectives set out by EA ect.

[deep glade]

I love when blueberries bomb the objective and get 9 friendly kills and 0 enemies

[versed rock]

That’s true

[deep glade]

And use all the ammo resources

Always give them a good old headshot when I play as commander

[knotty grotto]

[spare socket]

I somewhat disagree

a milsim is not what battlefield is

[lusty tree]

Dun dundun dun

[spare socket]

battlefield started as a fun arcade shooter

[deep glade]

No, this is Patrick

[spare socket]

and still is. It's all about a crazy fun bombastic sandbox mixed with moments of strategy and coordination

a RenDezook and sending a c-4 tank to the top of shanghai tower are as much battlefield moments as the slower and more tactile gameplay

[knotty grotto]

Only in battlefield™

[lusty tree]

Don't forget attaching c4 to a jeep

[deep glade]

Did my first RenDezook two days ago, jumped out and RPG’ed the enemy

[stable remnant]

strategy

[knotty grotto]

Cant even fly planes ;-;

[spare socket]

an enemy or an enemy jet/heli?

[deep glade]

Jet

And got back in my jet

[spare socket]

I never got a tank on top of shanghai. But I did get an LAV once

[lusty tree]

I removed all the enemies with an attack helicopter

[spare socket]

the fellas and frankly the whole server were losing it lol

[lusty tree]

On Shanghai

[outer thistle]

Battlefield subreddit is controlled by EA, as soon as you critique map size you get shadowbanned

i can type anything else, anywhere no problem

as soon as I critique BF6 I get shadowbanned

[lusty tree]

Really?

[outer thistle]

yes

i made two comments

one with BF3 helicopter looking at kharg island

and one with bf6 helicopter looking at liberation peak

for comparison only

instantly got shadowbanned

[lusty tree]

How u knew u were shadowban

[spare socket]

and you're certain you didn't use any particular language?

[outer thistle]

you have stats under comments on newer version of site, no views at all, your profile picture gets hidden and you cant use messaging system

[warm barn]

Not just map size I’ve had similar experiences just critiquing other games by EA

[outer thistle]

is battleyard 6 offensive?

[lusty tree]

Damm

[outer thistle]

so i am not the only one

some mf posted how BF2042 had very bland and boring looking maps

and it had bunch of upvotes

[warm barn]

Nah I copped a 3 day time out for talking about poorly of apex legends 😭

[outer thistle]

i am no fan but they were very pretty

and you have instantly some dudes agreeing

i see people popping up the "looks like bf1" comments as well

i am like...where? how does mirak look like bf1? just because it has trenches?

anyone who though sobek was big will be furious on release, mark my words

[willow lance]

Arcade games plays better too

Real war is miserable, video games should be fun

[outer thistle]

people should watch ukraine war if they want to see mil simulator in real time

its just bunch of young men dying to drones

bf3 was most realistic shooter of all time, the only difference was instead of drone its ah1z viper farming people at caspian border/noshahr canals

[versed rock]

So do I, I also critique my own argument. Because, what a ‘Battlefield’ experience is has changed and adapted somewhat.

[versed rock]

They do, especially in a world where their is a demand for instant gratification.

[willow lance]

Nah

You need EA account but that's it, you won't need EA app

[sterile salmon]

It just installed it for me and runs via both lmao

it's basically the same as Ubisoft when u try to play R6

[twin lantern]

Finally got the grind done in 2042 now to just do the weeklies and I will have everything from the battlepass

[dreamy crescent]

Low key hating that grind

[warm barn]

Yeah well people can buy it now if they really don’t wanna play but I can’t imagine spending money on a dead game only to spend 100+ more on the new game

[dreamy crescent]

lmao the missions arent that hard to complete just play like 2-4 hours per week and thats it

but it isnt fun at all

[remote hatch]

And i bet 99% of people dont even know its like 80% playercards and other useless shit

[warm barn]

Yeah especially this weeks completed em in one game

[dreamy crescent]

all I want is that chinese engineer skin

[warm barn]

Yeah but not gonna lie
Need that megalodon player icon

[willow lance]

I got both

[remote hatch]

Ok but would you pay for it 😭

[warm barn]

I wanted everything up to the Chinese engineer but hey if I’ve gone that far I might aswell finish it

[warm barn]

Oh not in a million years 😭

[willow lance]

Weeklies will give people enough points to complete the pass, it's not efficient to AFK farm on portal

[warm barn]

I’m Australian so if I brought the entire pass from level 1 it’d be 130+$ ontop of the 100-150$ I’ll spend on bf6

[dreamy crescent]

yeah im going to finish it too

[warm barn]

No fucking thank you

[warm barn]

I don’t hate the 2042 skin at the end but I can’t say it’s the game I wanna be reminiscing on while playing 6

[willow lance]

I will wear 2042 skin to remind people of 2042

Give them tactical PTSD

[warm barn]

Yeah I didn’t even afk
Casper drone farming or just playing normally got me the ranks I needed

[warm barn]

I’ll scream like a child if I get melee’d but a dude with the 2042 skin

[dreamy crescent]

I wonder if the whole of nyc is going to be burning / destroyed on the campaign 🤔 perhaps you can see one special tower falling🤔

[rotund hawk]

RELEASE THE DAMN GAME

[warm barn]

I NEED IT NOW

[chilly spire]

Don't be sad that's just how it works out sometimes

[warm barn]

I’m so confused

What do you mean by that Edmundo

[chilly spire]

You don't remember the voice line meme Angel had in 2042?

[stable remnant]

i dont know a single 2042 characters name other than Irish

[chilly spire]

https://tenor.com/view/dont-be-sad-this-is-just-how-it-works-out-sometimes-gif-27529135

[warm barn]

Oh nah I guess that one flew right over my head I second what dot said by not knowing any other operator name

I only know Irish and the ones I’ve been using to grind 😭

[warm barn]

One thing I’d love to see carry over/keep being released when bf6 is released is the battlefield friends player card backgrounds

I doubt it will happen but would be great

[severe moat]

Oh god the stealth jets in BF6 have thrust vectoring

[white moss]

I'm glad first season isn't one map but like three even if 1 or two of them are remastered ones. Are we gonna get a Dirty Harry revolver in the first season?

[outer thistle]

what matters is the turn speed

i didnt even see if it was buffed in a clip

[tight prism]

yup, you will enjoy slightly more realistic jets or else

[white moss]

Hopefully no realistic shotguns others be too OP

[tight prism]

ngl after dealing with 2042s shotties i'd enjoy slightly more realistic shotguns in 6

more akin to 4 would be good

[severe moat]

TFW I want realism in my games but not that kind of realism

[twin jasper]

Bf6 player count dropped to almost 0, what a flop

[white moss]

Before nerf/removal the master key was realistic

[tight prism]

typically when people ask for realism in something like BF its an emulation of an aspect of realism they're actually asking for

[severe moat]

I mean hey jets are going to be hilarious in this game

[white moss]

Need to implement blackouts

[tight prism]

looking forward to the dogfight evolution tbh

[white moss]

You are pulling too much Gs. Blacks out and crashes

[severe moat]

We have attack jets that can fire AGMs in the opposite direction of their flight path, stealth jets than can actually thrust vector, and all kinds of stuff

[tight prism]

waiting for 15km aim9x and ARHs

wait this isnt war thunder oops

[white moss]

Speaking of war thunder we should get a yearly April fools event

[severe moat]

My biggest concern was that in the beta air to air dogfights became largely tricky because of how quick the spread on the jet cannons occurred. This made dogfighting annoying because you couldn’t track your target effectively

[tight prism]

this just sounds stupid

rapidly increasing spread on jets? do they have arms and muscles?

[knotty grotto]

There is no rendezook sticker

[severe moat]

We’re… we’re gonna read that one more time. The main cannon on the F-16 in the beta had too much spread which only increased when firing making tracking air targets, specifically other jets, difficult

[long bolt]

the gun barrels must be made of plastic X)

[tight prism]

i'm not arguing against you lmao

[severe moat]

Ah

[tight prism]

its more like
"rapidly increasing spread on an aircraft mounted main gun" is hilarious

hope its reduced or removed

[solar nimbus]

ANGEL DOES IT AGAIN!

[fair hill]

do we know if the Campaign will have Multiplayer unlocks?

[twin lantern]

You have to play on hardest difficulty to unlock multiplayer

[tidal hound]

With the teammates I get im surprised they managed to press the Play button

[fair hill]

Sooo spawn beacon was moved to assault. But if weapons stay open. We will just have assault players equiping bolt guns with beacons in the mountains... What was solved here?

[knotty grotto]

Assault is the new recon

[fair hill]

Pretty much what I'm thinking.

[knotty grotto]

I will call this class… ASSAULT RECON

Recon will just be recon cuz it will only provide intel

[twin jasper]

You can only crouch sprint if you beat the campaign 10 times without dying

[rose fable]

with the beacon, a ladder and open weapons. yeah pretty much, also run an smg if someone gets close

[fair hill]

Oh right... Double primary. 🤣 ... Oh man!

[knotty grotto]

So its also a rush clash now?

Assault rush recon it is

Should just give assault some healing item for vehicles and humans

All in 1 class

[rose fable]

and it has the launchers lmao

[knotty grotto]

It comes equipped with pocked vehicles to btw so u can deploy vehicles on the go

[tidal hound]

Double primary cuts the ammo pool by a lot. So an Assault with Sniper Carbine is going to get 2 kills before needing to resupply

[knotty grotto]

Spawn a plane in the middle of a building!!!

[fair hill]

Just respawn on your beacon when out of ammo.

[rose fable]

it has a beacon, just respawn. dnt think campers care

[tidal hound]

That would ruin their k/d though

So they wont do that

[knotty grotto]

What kd

[fair hill]

If they dedicate themselves to the mountain they could drop the second primary for another launcher. Get all the ammo back if it becomes an issue. So many options!

[rose fable]

y'all see the support and engineer up on a tower with snipers, trophy systems, anti vehicle, and infinite ammo. lol

[fair hill]

Yeah... I somewhat enjoyed open weapons. But the more I think about it ... It just kills balance for a little bit of freedom.

[white moss]

Just have both modes

But if we can only choose one then lock them

[tidal hound]

If they choose one they will 100% go with open

[still ridge]

Only 1 month left soldiers!

[rose fable]

kills the balance and ppl will just meta chase, removes any need to run other weapons. In closed if the meta is an AR for example, a team full of Assaults would suffer

[white moss]

Ladders are gonna be so abused

[rose fable]

on that note in a closed system, the Engineer should get the carbines and make the SMGs available to the rest. No point on running smg when the M4 is just better.

[fair hill]

Agreed, it was already shown as all the default modes in the beta. Locked was only there to quell the complaints.

[rose fable]

yeah open should be a portal thing

[outer thistle]

you can escape open weapon, but you cant escape bland, terrible and uninspired map design

[tidal hound]

That's just weapon balance. The m4 could be nerfed to the ground by launch

[static kindle]

Drop the game

[white moss]

Only like one of them is like that in bf6

[tidal hound]

m4 isn't inherently better than SMG's just by name. DICE gotta balance that stuff

[white moss]

"They ruined battlefield". In old man voice in battlefield friends

[woven canyon]

Is there actually any information if the current BFC from 2042 will transfer to BF6? @gaunt arch

[white moss]

I highly doubt it

[wind kettle]

No

[rose fable]

just an example, but Carbine feel better as a class weapon imo, but it wont matter since they're going open

[willow lance]

BF4 is less balanced than 2042

Balance is unrelated to class locks

I would argue BFV is less balanced than 2042 too despite having stricter class locks than BF4

[frosty tulip]

Hard to swallow pill right there

[tidal hound]

Saying anything bad about bf4 will get you attacked by the nostalgia nerds

bf4 is perfect game after all

[frosty tulip]

so perfect i still remember getting banned for sniping the heli pilot because literally all anti air measures are banned

[long bolt]

bf4 was riddled with "hackers"

[willow lance]

They should keep them unlocked imo, it makes no difference but there are more of the silent majority played with unlocked weapons than with locked weapons. Class lock advocates are most likely minority. Keeping them both in main matchmaking makes no sense when Portal already allows whatever class lock you want to implement. You can probably disable entire weapon classes and give everyone an AR or something too if you want to lol.

[tardy geyser]

One month away from release

[rose fable]

Played open cause I didn't want to play breakthrough

not much of a choice

[frosty tulip]

BFC?

[rose fable]

in game currency

[frosty tulip]

LMAO ofc not silly

this aint cod

[tidal hound]

Wut? Only Closed weapons playlist was Conquest, and Open had every game mode

[woven canyon]

Game currency

[rose fable]

second weekend, the one I had more time to play, the closed playlist was both conquest and breakthrough

[twin jasper]

Guys, I think BFC is the game currency

[willow lance]

Class locking or unlocking divides playerbase for no reason. DICE should pick a lane and give the other option in portal.

[rose fable]

they did, open it is

[woven canyon]

It is

Like cod points, BFC=battlefield coins

[white moss]

Too many servers not allowing stingers and iglas was ridiculous

[willow lance]

Glad air vehicles won’t be much of an issue in BF6
Those who know:
Those who don’t know:

[twin jasper]

Fun server pls add to favorites

No stinger
No iglas
No rpg
Dont kill admin
No t-bagging

Have fun

[velvet kayak]

I played open as I didn’t want to pick class because of the guns

[livid kite]

bf4 fixed my marriage and my relationship with my kids

And I wasn’t even married prior to playing it, nor did I have kids!

[stable remnant]

playing 2042 with 10-15 people feels cool when youre tired of dying every 10 seconds

[calm sapphire]

Ah, the downsides to private servers that always get forgotten

Depending on if an adult is running it the admin is just another internet janitor to deal with

[junior willow]

Lol.... quit trolling

[rancid nacelle]

I'm back

Any admin here

[boreal thistle]

how long did It take yall to finish bf2042 pass?

[unique arrow]

hours or days? i got it yesterday

[orchid cairn]

Wish EA/dice would remaster BF4 on consoles. The resolution is so poor that it's painful to play on the console. I think 2042 is fun but I just can't play it waiting for BF6. I've tried.

[unique arrow]

i agree with you but BF4 would not need remaster the game is perfect as it is like bf3 i kinda worried if they wanted to remaster BF4 it would go closer to COD gameplay or closer to 2042 its good as it is, but i agree 2042 isnt that game after BF6 beta while waiting for release.. helldivers 2 are here thank god

[orchid cairn]

I know why they won't. They know if BF3/BF4 was remastered on console no one would be on 2042. At all.

[unique arrow]

well 2042 will die either way

[orchid cairn]

When I mean remaster on console I'm just referring to res and textures. Leave everything else the way it is. That's what I mean. The res is below 1080p n console and just looks horrible.

[unique arrow]

Well, it's an older game, and it's perfect as is

[void crow]

The gameplay would be too slow for nowadays. Even if i'd like to see the endurance bar come back to slow the game a bit and be less callofish. only this would change the entire game

[unique arrow]

gameplay would be good..

[orchid cairn]

In fact BF4 on consoles is unplayable because of the res and aliasing. It's so bad. You can't see in the distance. PC is fine though but the console is where I play the most so.

[void crow]

play it 10minutes in 2025 without nostalgia to feel that it would be good in 2025 unfortunatly

[proven glacier]

Understandable tbh especially on larger screens

[unique arrow]

im only on PC past 5 years i did good choice

[unique arrow]

well maybe u just miss the simple times not the game

[proven glacier]

I just moved to pc before the bf6 beta the difference in pc gaming from console is insane wish I did it sooner !

[orchid cairn]

Sucks because honestly the only version of bf on consoles that looks decent visually is 2042 but it's not what I want to play. It is what it is.

[proven glacier]

Was using controller on pc but still worked super well

Didn’t feel at too much of a disadvantage which was surprising

[unique arrow]

thats what everybody saying i know PC is pricy but its only way to fully get on gaming

[proven glacier]

Facts

[proven glacier]

Yh I agree

Just got to wait for bf6

[unique arrow]

either way playing fast shooting game on console is ass

i cant say shit about racing games on console tho

[proven glacier]

The fps on pc definitely makes it so much better

[unique arrow]

yeah its overall just better for gaming

[royal beacon]

Like GTAV Legacy & Enhanced

New textures + RTX

[orchid cairn]

Yes. Exactly. The gameplay is what makes it great but the visuals are so poor on console it's unplayable. Granted the game is old etc so I get it but the consoles we have today can easily match the pc at high settings.

But I know if EA/dice did that many would skip every other bf altogether.

[vapid linden]

I have 20 hours in bf4 the past 2 weeks lmao it's still great idk what yall smokin

[orchid cairn]

To me it's easy money. Charge $10 quid for enhanced versions. I'd pay for it np whatsoever.

[random elk]

did i sold all my 10 ct cs 2 skins and my steam cards cause im broke but i want bf6 ? maybe

[orchid cairn]

Are you blind. What are you smokin. The graphics are below 1080p and aliasing is piss poor on console. If you think playing BF3/BF4 console on a 65 inch OLED is fine. I want to know what your smokin. I need it.

[random elk]

71 € steam balance rn

[vapid linden]

I play on pc

[orchid cairn]

Gotcha. We're not talking about PC. We're talking specifically about console. Yes the PC is fine.

[vapid linden]

Ah I thought part of the convo was that bf4 gameplay wouldn't be fun in 2025 for some reason lol

[twin lantern]

Why not just get ea play pro

Wait til month of release and only pay $16.99 for it

[random elk]

one time payment > monthly payment

[twin lantern]

And if you happen to not like it you can save yourself money

Plus you get bonus skins

[calm sapphire]

Just go to Blockbuster and get it for a weekend. Stop overthinking it.

[random elk]

no blockbuster in my country xD

[vapid linden]

Bro gonna roll up with tha redbox bf6 💀

[outer thistle]

i played BF3 last three days on PC

man did it age...jesus

[void crow]

a good reshade to enhance it a bit ahah

[vapid linden]

How?
I genuinely don't notice the difference in graphics of bf3/4 and 6

Like yeah if you... aren't playing thr game and instead are looking for rocks and bugs on the ground the differences are obvious

Otherwise it's basically the same lol

[outer thistle]

this I agree with

[vapid linden]

The leap in graphics from 2013 to 2025 for some games is kinda pathetic and weak tbh
We definitely are in the Era of diminishing returns

[outer thistle]

i meant in details between BF3 and BF5

i dont consider bf6 a battlefield game

i am number 1 bf 6 hater

[tidal hound]

You will take our ray traced shadows that you wont ever notice for -50% fps, and you will enjoy it

[random elk]

didnt they said they will remove raytracing?

[vapid linden]

Real lmao
Gotta prop up the bit mining hardware market somehow

[hollow sage]

na its clearly not a battlefield

[outer thistle]

yes sir i will buy 3000 dollar graphics card for 50fps AI generated frames performance

i will do the needful

[vapid linden]

I can't say yet whether bf6 will be a "battlefield experience" or not tbh
The beta was fun, but I didn't get to play enough and on a wide enough array of maps to tell tbh

[orchid cairn]

I agree with that. If you look at BF3/BF4 visually they were ahead of their time. They still hold up today when playing on pc. This new generation of devs just doesn't hit the same. The dice we knew before isn't the same as today. Not saying the devs of today aren't talented but the work of today doesn't hit the same. If you weren't around before you wouldn't understand.

[tame geyser]

Oi peasants

[outer thistle]

go look at arc raiders, thats old dice

[tame geyser]

Will BF6 have big maps like bf4

[unique arrow]

yeah true

[outer thistle]

no, best I can do is New Sobek Corner

[vapid linden]

All complaints aside
Bf6 has fantastic performance atleast which can't be said for many modern titles lol

[outer thistle]

easy to have good performance with CSGO maps

[tame geyser]

We need big aps

maps

[orchid cairn]

That's why arc raiders looks phenomenal and it plays well. Look whose developing it. You just proved my point.

[orchid cairn]

No disagreement there. Absolutely.

[outer thistle]

i mean I am fully in agreement with you

it goes BFV -> Arc Raiders for old DICE

BF2042 and BF6 are abominations

[random elk]

weird to see people agreeing each other in a game

[orchid cairn]

Lol. Agreement does happen.

[vapid linden]

It'd less "big maps" that's my concern and pacing and speed of the games
Quicker respawns, quicker health regen, wackier movement lends itself to lots of stupid Rambo larp gameplay rather than "battlefield" gameplay

[random elk]

so ill just hop in with pineapple on pizza

[outer thistle]

i dont judge tbh

[tame geyser]

We just need BF4 stuff in BF6

now!

[unique arrow]

yeah the ribbons dog tags everything, and the weapons all the weapons!

[outer thistle]

wish I could post images here

[orchid cairn]

I think over time with seasons we'll see more big open maps. We'll have some at launch but I do see a positive future.

[random elk]

levelation is what we need

[outer thistle]

to show certain clowns just how small truly Sobek is

[unique arrow]

oh yes BF6 will have rly good future, hope devs dont fck it up

[vapid linden]

Bf3 and bf4 are still my beloved titles to this day
I'd gladly keep playing bf4 if I didn't have that looming kinda "angst" about the game population eventually puttering out and it actually dying for good and not having "liveliness" about it

[tame geyser]

Big maps and BF4 vibes and I will buy this thign in premium

cash will flow

[outer thistle]

best I can do is helicopter rocket pods damage dropoff after 100 meters

[orchid cairn]

I want to see naval combat come back. That naval warfare dlc that came out. Memories.

[unique arrow]

it all can come

[tame geyser]

go home, u drunk

[outer thistle]

best I can do is that small puddle in Empire State

[calm sapphire]

If they can fix the stupid land vehicles first, then yeah, sea would be cool

[tame geyser]

Massive battleships with sharks and spaceships coming from the oceanfloor

[vapid linden]

I really really want wake island and paracel storm again

[calm sapphire]

Although driving the jeeps already did feel like trying to sail

[orchid cairn]

Empire doesn't exist. Lol. That's the one map that I don't count.

[outer thistle]

people here are not watching the gameplay from leaks

its very clear

[orchid cairn]

💯

[calm sapphire]

I've watched enough and played the open betas. If they want to impress me they can do it at launch.

[unique arrow]

iv seen so much leaks i just cant talk about that here so i dont get ban again

[outer thistle]

did you see Sobek?

[calm sapphire]

They want me to convince myself to buy the game. It's not my job to do that; it's theirs.

[unique arrow]

i dont want another ban

[outer thistle]

breakthrough on Sobek, whole Bradley fits between Sector and NATO HQ

comical

[orchid cairn]

If you want to see great big open maps for bf6 they're out there. Will not comment where. Do a Google search and the truth shall set you free.

[white moss]

Thankfully they ditched the ray tracing

[outer thistle]

Badlands is big map? Mirak Valley?

[calm sapphire]

Who cares where now? The where should have been the beta.

[outer thistle]

Badlands is same size as liberation peak

[white moss]

Mirak Valley is the big one

[lusty wyvern]

A BF6 Campaign mission will be shown at TGS

[outer thistle]

Mirak Valley is big in theory, in practice its small

[random elk]

was it a product where you get it? if yes look at the details maybe you get it per email on release? if nothing stands there write a email to intel or the place you buyed it

[outer thistle]

two flags right next to HQ, village and trenches are basically unplayable

[lusty wyvern]

I Wonder which one it will be

[outer thistle]

only middle portion and C are playable

[lusty wyvern]

Probably the NVG mission or the mission where we parachute into Gibraltar

[white moss]

Anyone doing a wait and see or preordering?

[hollow sage]

@outer thistle why dont you move over to Call of Duty discord?

[tame geyser]

I really need to see BF4 vibes, because that's what I loved about the game. The open beta was too small maps and respawn killing too fast

[outer thistle]

wdym?

[orchid cairn]

Ray tracing is too taxing. You can still achieve phenomenal lighting and reflections without it. It's not necessary all the time. It's really not. Would I like to see it yes but it's too demanding for what bf is trying to do.

[outer thistle]

if you defend this game, you are the one who should move to CoD discord

[vapid linden]

All I know is
I bought bf2042 for $3 thinking it can't be that bad
And oh boy. It really really was that bad, including the portal "bf3" modes

AWFUL

[white moss]

Though if they want to add ray tracing throw it on campaign only

[vapid linden]

I really will be happy if bf6 just isn't... THAT

[white moss]

Well beta told me it wasn't that

[tame geyser]

I am willing to buy BF6, but it needs to feel like BF4. BF4 was amazing

[orchid cairn]

That would be a good trade off but we haven't seen the campaign yet so your idea depends upon how the campaign is.

[random elk]

did you buy it in a store?

[tame geyser]

BETA didnt convince me

[random elk]

did they asked you for your email?

[unique arrow]

i buyed too the phantom edition after first beta im still hyped

[random elk]

maybe the cashier grabbed the code lol

happened to me with indiana jones

[hollow sage]

i feel sorry for you that it didnt.
me as a 34y boomer got huge oldschool bf vibes

[warm barn]

Yeah probably give us the most “only in battlefield” mission

[orchid cairn]

I agree the open beta didn't convince me either in the beginning because the small cramped spaces really irked me but I'll be spending a lot of time in the map editor for portal. So I'm good. Plus what I mentioned earlier about Google. The big maps we haven't played yet and from what I've seen they look great.

[outer thistle]

you need to use layout of given maps to build a map

you cant just do it from sratch

scratcg

[warm barn]

Likewise been around since 42 and I gotta say ima be back on battlefield like it’s back in the day the bf6 beta got me hooked

Don’t get me wrong there’s a lot I’d like changed/fixed but it’s great

[hollow sage]

what makes me chilled about is the fact that the last weeks/months you saw how devs listened to feedback.

[tame geyser]

Still expensive tho, 69 euros...

[orchid cairn]

I know but you can place objects around. Move things. Like that map with the mountain. On breakthrough it was so difficult because the first point was like seeing cigarette lighters at a rock concert. Snipers everywhere. I will fix that. Add more objects to block off that noise.

[warm barn]

Yeah same also the beta build we got was months older then the build they were still working on so the finished product will be very different but very similar

[outer thistle]

it would be funny for community to make better map than DICE themselves, but because map is modified it wont get Verified status in Portal

[tidal finch]

Greetings gamers... in preparation for BF 6 I wanted to enhance my experience a little and need this channel's sage advice. First my system is an I7-13700, 32 gig ram My GPU is currently an RTX 3060 (8GB) and I've decided to jump ship back to AMD because I'm not a competitive gamer and want good stuff but doesn't have to be top tier so I'm probably going to get the Radeon RX 9060 XT (16 GB). I was considering the RTX 5060 TI 16GB but I save 80.00 going AMD plus they are pretty close ...good enough for me .

My question: I'm wanting to finally move from 1080p to 2K only (not going 4k due to GPU strain) so I will be looking to get a monitor now for this since my RTX 3060 can handle it until I get the new card.

So, here is where you peeps come in... I'm wanting a 32" 2K IPS- HDR 400+ certified monitor and I'm thinking curved, high refresh rate, would like adaptive sync for both free and g-sync yada yada and wanted to see if you guys are using a 27" flat panel at 2K or using a 32" curved and would the pixel difference between the two be that noticeable? What are some recommendations? I'm looking to cap my spending around $250.00 and it doesn't have to be a mainstream brand as long is it is highly rated. Thoughts?

[unique arrow]

99 euros for me

[orchid cairn]

I already have ideas on how I want to change some of the layouts of the maps. Not all were a problem but some of the placements were just piss poor.

[warm barn]

Yeah brooklyns layout was terrible from spawns to objectives etc I hated that map

That’s the only map I really had big issues with

[orchid cairn]

You know that's going to happen. Absolutely 💯.

[outer thistle]

9060xt should be paired with very good processors, cant pull the weight on itso wn

[tame geyser]

base is 69, premium 99

[tidal finch]

dude I'm running a I7-13th generation 13700 it is a "very good processor"

[outer thistle]

then you are set

[orchid cairn]

Some maps in the open beta I liked. Had no issue with checkpoint placement but some were just terrible. I plan on fixing that. For sure.

[vapid linden]

I've got a cursed build
I'm running an i7-9800X and a 3070 ti lol

[outer thistle]

you are going to love capture points of Sobek and Badlands, I am sure of it! Worst in the franchise without a single doubt!

[tidal finch]

what type of monitor are you using. I'm thinking of getting a 32" 2K IPS HDR 400 + adaptive sync... or better to get 27" IPS Flat?

[hollow sage]

its a common thing to happen
even CS implemented custom maps in the official game

[tidal finch]

why is that cursed?

[outer thistle]

i am using a laptop, i just saw 9060xt benchmarks with 9800x3d

[vapid linden]

Because the i7-9800x is not only very very old now. But also a bizarro socket that's very rare

[orchid cairn]

Empire needs work. Mountain map with the sniper rock concert needs adjusting. The Cairo map I enjoyed but the checkpoint placement needs to be spread more. That other map. Can't think of it. Same. Checkpoints need spacing.

[outer thistle]

naive af but I applaud the optimism to believe this is something EA will allow, they wont even allow server browser like BFV

[tidal finch]

I see. I don't know much of this stuff, old guy I am, but my research tells me my I7-13700 is pretty good and future proofed for a bit

[crimson gate]

32 is too big if you're sitting at a desk imo

[orchid cairn]

Who knows. The launch versions may be different and I won't have to change anything. We shall see.

[outer thistle]

where do you plan to place the checkpoints my friend, there is legit no space to put them anywhere?

[hollow sage]

my point was that its not uncommong that communitys build "better" maps than the devs

[vapid linden]

Well yeah it's literally 4 generations ahead of the 9800 lel
You're probably good

[outer thistle]

yes but Valve and EA are pretty different companies, Valve +Steam have long history of community collaboration

[orchid cairn]

I wonder if we can remove a checkpoint. See where I'm going. We don't know the specifics of the map editor yet so who knows.

[outer thistle]

they even allowed Black Mesa to be made

GOATED game

[outer thistle]

3 flag liberation peak, or maybe 4 would be good conquest small map

[tidal finch]

so guys opinions on which monitor to get............see above

[orchid cairn]

Exactly.

[outer thistle]

get the 24-27 inch mointor with 144hz

legit dont matter which one as long as it isnt from temu

[orchid cairn]

Cairo didn't need all of those checkpoints. It really didn't. Same with the others you mentioned.

[tidal finch]

are 32" IPS Curved not good for 2K due to pixel density or ????

[orchid cairn]

Your in my mind space with the map editor now ruthlezZ. Now your understanding.

[quasi breach]

temu sell PC parts as well?

[stable remnant]

just project the game directly onto your eyeballs. it curves itself

[outer thistle]

new dice has no balls, look at the whole map of liberation peak, forest and mountains included, they could move the bases all the way down the road, enable mountain above C to be playable and have objective at top, add cable you can latch onto and drop into either base map or forest, add another objective deep into the valley between the mountains looking at liberation peak, add one objective on top of each mountain. Boom, you have best Battlefield map ever made

[crimson gate]

For me 32" is just too big for me like I'd need a deeper desk

[quasi breach]

i think you can have 32 inch IPS displays in different pixel density options.

[crimson gate]

Also you're asking for a lot of features with a 250 budget

[outer thistle]

its mountain not map

[orchid cairn]

I think the ones who will benefit the most out of the portal map editor in bf6 will be the old skool players.

[outer thistle]

yes, did you read my comment? imagine that map I just wrote

it would be one of the best

[tidal finch]

not getting feedback...is there a more appropriate place to post my question?

[outer thistle]

not even crazy big

but battlefield sandbox big

instead we get liberation yard

[quasi breach]

this is a bf server. ask in a server where you can find display nerds

[orchid cairn]

Yeah bro. That would be awesome and is definitely workable. If I think what I believe the portal will be.

[granite horizon]

Is there anymore beta testing going to be available or is that it now until release?

[crimson gate]

https://www.productchart.com/monitors/

[outer thistle]

i would never leave that map, ever

[quasi breach]

nothing till release

[outer thistle]

legit only thing i would play

[granite horizon]

Ah what’s this about battlefield labs then got told to sign up to get invited or something

[quasi breach]

check #battlefield-labs-discussion channel for that. its a private playtest that only a few people are invited to

[quasi breach]

oh, neat site

[orchid cairn]

Same. Which is why this version of the portal can be game changing. The portal editor in 2042 I feel was a good idea but the scope of how it could be wasn't realized.

The portal mode in 2042 is a beta.

[outer thistle]

Dice should allow people to matchmake into Portal, just have filter to be selected called VERIFIED / CUSTOM and allow people to matchmake into custom maps like we discuss here

the fact this is not gonna happen is travesty

[tidal finch]

what kind of monitors are you guys using for Battlefield 6?

[outer thistle]

144hz msi laptop monitor

works very nice

not sure how big though

less than 27 inches 100%

i had 27 inch monitor before and if i build a new pc i will get one again with 144hz

[orchid cairn]

I agree but who knows. We really don't know what the final version of portal will be. Until the game launches everything is really a work in progress.

[outer thistle]

we will see, right now i am extremely disappointed

in every way imaginable

[orchid cairn]

Hell what you and I are thinking may not even be available to do. I hope our ideas do come to a reality though.

[crimson gate]

27 inch is the sweet spot for me

[tidal finch]

is that due to pixel density versus a 32" curved. I assume your 27" is IPS flat?

[outer thistle]

i dont think it will be available, if it is damn liberation peak might become actual PEAK

[tidal finch]

I have an AOC 27" curved IPS 280 mhz 1ms gysunc monitor

[orchid cairn]

If the portal map editor gives us the opportunity to actually alter the maps to our liking lll be happy.

[tidal finch]

BUT only 1080p

[civic herald]

Is curved better or straight

[stable remnant]

thats 10 years away

[crimson gate]

Mine is flat yeah I just like the size of 27"

[tall zinc]

makes little difference

[tidal finch]

meaning the pixel density of a 27" flat versus a 32" curved is minimal visual goodness differnce?

[white moss]

I mean if you didn't like the beta you will probably not like the full game.

[tall zinc]

I mean there's no difference either way pixel density is not a factor with curved, the panel is still the same

[crimson gate]

1440p will be ok on 32"

[outer thistle]

probably? i am not gonna buy for at least a year, if it eclipses two i will never buy it

[white moss]

Don't have space for a curve. I do have two monitors though. One is pretty much a dedicated discord monitor.

[civic herald]

How many Inches is best

[outer thistle]

i think 24 for fps

[white moss]

I think unless it's curved 27 is the way to go

[tall zinc]

27/32 is the defacto standard

[quasi breach]

then you will wait for BF7

[spiral forge]

is it worth to preorder?

[tall zinc]

but do not get an LCD monitor if you can they are terrible compared to oled

[white moss]

I respect his decision. I'm not gonna say go buy it or else

[outer thistle]

i am going to BFV, I counted 65 full eu servers yesterday

[quasi breach]

only you know the answer

[tidal finch]

so if you do a 27" flat only.. I"ve heard that before

[spiral forge]

what do you think sir

[quasi breach]

great. seems like BFV is still active

[tidal finch]

can't afford Oled but guess I'd get an IPS

[white moss]

I just think curved you want to go wide

[quasi breach]

idk. Did you play the beta?

[outer thistle]

i am surprised, its so active its crazy for a 7 year old BF game

[white moss]

That's fine just stay away from TN. Horrible

[stable remnant]

i dont. for some skins and a token. I dont want the stuff, but i will get the game

[spiral forge]

sadly i dont have the access

[outer thistle]

bf3 was dead in 2016

[tidal finch]

is there such a thing as a 27" curved wide or ultra wide ...?

[outer thistle]

like legit dead

[quasi breach]

I am talking about open beta

[quasi breach]

what about bf4 and 1

[crimson gate]

What resolution is the 32 inch is it 1440p?

[white moss]

I wish those skins were just solid black

[outer thistle]

bf4 is half dead, bf1 is going a bit smaller than bfv

[spiral forge]

no

[tidal finch]

it would be 2K yes 1440 p

[white moss]

Any other shooters you play Ruthless?

[stable remnant]

i played the whole beta with the hud off so yes, Skins being a real uniform is super important to me for recognising the enemy

[quasi breach]

well then its hard to know if you will like it or not. if you can afford it then sure. at the end of the day, it depends on what your specific situation is

[stable remnant]

It was black VS desert camo. pretty cool. afraid they will blend too much

[spiral forge]

any other opinion

[white moss]

Oh man I want adaptive camo to come back

[outer thistle]

i want EA to collaborate with Embark and TTKgames to make BF2142 remaster

i would have no life for 10 years straight

[white moss]

Or better yet make 2143

[outer thistle]

YES YE SYES

SHUHIA TAIBA FROSTIBTE ENGINE TITAN MODE

[white moss]

Next game has to be bad company 3 though

Then we can do whatever after that one

[outer thistle]

idc about next bf game without embark/ttkgames involved

thats the old dice

look at arc raiders, it screams battlefield

[white moss]

I guess you like the finals?

[outer thistle]

love the game, hate art direction

[white moss]

Arc raiders sounds like hazard zone

[ocean sun]

Arc Raiders is gonna be the BF6 Killer. 🙂

[outer thistle]

fax

[white moss]

Plays different save for the BR mode in bf6

If it kills anything it kills the BR mode

Anyone play musket shooters? I enjoy holdfast myself

[outer thistle]

idk i sacrificed shooters and myself to fromsoftware games

zero regrets

[ocean sun]

Yeah but from the beta, from what I saw, there's no real heart of BF in BF6 standard play...the BR was the only thing that might have saved them. Gameplay will get stale, small maps, no commander...fast paced instead of a balance between say Hell Let Loose and COD...it's leaning to heavily toward zoomer shooter.

[stable remnant]

yeeeeee

[outer thistle]

bloodborne is just something else

[white moss]

Nothing like doing one shot and then going stabby stabby

[stable remnant]

Fromsoft revitalised my interest in videogames

[outer thistle]

i am literally building PC just to run max settings future fromsoft titles

i am in love with miyazakis vision of video games

[white moss]

I haven't decided if I want to upgrade or get the PS6 next gen

[lucid mist]

ps6 will be 800 dollars and have no games calling it right now

[sand dagger]

This just depends on perspective of the series. This game has a lot of the "heart of BF" for those of us who came on to the series in BF3 days

[ocean sun]

I dunno I expect that launch of BF6 is gonna be huge, then 2 months down the road 80% of those players will be gone.

[sand dagger]

20% of remaining initial 500k players is still 100k players 🤷‍♂️

[lucid mist]

bait

[ocean sun]

But financially, I think they're going to turn a profit...there's still hope for BF games, but they need to go back to BF2 and BF3...examine why they were regarded as the best...and emulate those games...instead of trying to cater to modern audiences with the zoomer mentality.

[white moss]

Well that is my limit for the system

It will have physical at least.

[ocean sun]

And no, I dont expect 500k concurrent for BF6 at launch...I expect 200-300k...cuz you have to remember the Beta was free, the asking price for this game is not worth what was shown...imo...and many people ain't gonna shell out 80 for something that isn't even really BF.

[sand dagger]

Im just not sure how you can think thats not what Bf6 is doing...like the BF6 beta was the first time in years I felt like I was actually playing battlefield again like I did when I was a kid playing Bf3

[white moss]

Played beta for bf6. Enjoyed it. Played beta for 2042. What is this crap?

[ocean sun]

It LOOKs like BF, it SOUNDs like BF...it's basically a coat of paint over 2042, with Operators removed.

[white moss]

That's a huge improvement though

[sand dagger]

This is the most insane take of all time, the game plays so differently

[white moss]

They can keep operators though in BR if they want but keep it out of the main game

[sand dagger]

ehhhh its a slipperly slope I feel like you give an inch you lose a mile 😂

[ocean sun]

It's slower...yes, but there's still tons of bugs...tons of small maps...2042 had too much space, this has too little...shrug...it's going to appeal to a certain crowd, I 100% agree...it's not going to fail as hard as 2042...but it's not going to retain long term...beyond the 2-3 months timeframe.

[white moss]

I'm just saying BR being a free mode doesn't have to follow the constraints of boots on the ground in the main game

[outer thistle]

BF6 is complete reverse of BF2042, like legit total opposite, anyone saying anything else is coping hard

[white moss]

Seriously I can't think of anyways for ladders not to be abused

[outer thistle]

they just focused on stable launch and marketing

[velvet kayak]

The main thing is it felt 100 x better than 2042.

[outer thistle]

they will get their money and move on after one year tops

i am going to laugh hard when it happens

[sand dagger]

"Still tons of bugs" the beta was the least buggy BF Beta I have ever played and I have played a few. Also there are large maps coming, they have made it very clear. Op firestorm is going to be in game and Mirak is apparently the largest. Then on top of that the leaks for the 3 upcoming maps after launch look like they will be larger maps too. I am not sure what gives you this sentiment

[ocean sun]

What is there to cope? There were no airfields...the planes take off mid flight...like, there's no large maps...like actual large maps, nothing shown was memorable...just typical CQC Urban Zones...it was a poor showing imo.

[lucid mist]

not a bad opener, but you're jumping to the 2042 comparisons too early. For the best bait you really gotta hook people in

[white moss]

Think they got new director for the new game

[outer thistle]

i will never forgive EA for not making eastern front in BFV with yugoslavia and soviet union

[stable remnant]

youre not gonna laugh you'll just be mad about something else

[outer thistle]

i didnt follow battlefield franchise for past 10 years, left at the peak of it and came back to these abominations of games, i am right to be pissed

[white moss]

Ya they should have given us a big map in the beta. But the main game it's there apparently

I left after BF1. Which was a good area to leave at

[ocean sun]

We'll see...but a promise of "A big Map is there guys" just give us the 80 dollars...is not a risk Im taking, I'll wait and see.

[sand dagger]

This is how the betas almost always have gone, the open play tests use small maps to test server performance. We know we are getting larger maps. Firestorm has airfield we know for sure, I wouldn't be surprised if Mirak does too. But also not having an airfield isnt some doomsday game killing loss??

[white moss]

It's $70

[lucid mist]

guys please stop, engaging wtih this guy it's obvious bait holy shit

[orchid cairn]

The big maps are there. Google is your friend.

[sand dagger]

And thats fair, you arent required to buy the game. But having such a doomer outlook on it with such unrealistic reasoning isnt fair

[velvet kayak]

It was exactly the kind of maps I like (apart from the one with all the snipers hidden in the hill)

[outer thistle]

LMAO why are you baiting him so hard

who in the gods name is calling the remaining maps big

[ocean sun]

How am I baiting, I think the game was poor...thats not a bait, it's my honest opinion...I think it's rushed, I think that the game isn't going to retain beyond 2 months...if it's all true or false who cares...we're just feeding poppa EA either way.

[hallow geode]

Tomorrow marks the day it will officially be exactly 1 MONTH to go 🥳

[white moss]

That BF3 remastered map? Think they are making that area a no play zone

[outer thistle]

you are completely right my friend, they are in for the rude awakening, we legit just didnt see manhattan and eastwood which are 100% no bigger than badlands

these maps are TINY

[ocean sun]

Like, you trust the same people that are giving you Madden every year? Like cmon,.

[orchid cairn]

Lmao. Well I don't want to get banned but I can certainly lead in the direction of where to look. There are plenty of vids leaked.

[outer thistle]

Zavod 311 mogs them completely in size

[white moss]

The tiny maps are good and all. But we do need variety

[velvet kayak]

Smaller maps are better for running n gunning

[hallow geode]

https://x.com/Battlefield/status/1965434837013065959/photo/1 - Brave the heat as infantry, advance the frontline in a tank, or take to the skies in an attack helicopter. 🔥

New Sobek City takes you to the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. Play #Battlefield 6 - October 10 📅

[sand dagger]

Seems like there will be a good mix of 3 small, 3 medium, and 3 large maps at launch which to me is perfect.

[ocean sun]

And thats what I said, I said it will cater to a certain audience...that audience is the COD audience...they are attempting to just do direct competition with COD instead of embracing what made BF unique and loved to begin with...and that's going to be their downfall.

[lucid mist]

no bro you see dragon valley is bigger therefore this map is tiny cod gameplay and battlefield is dead RIP bf6 killed by vince zampella

[white moss]

I liked the beta. That was all that mattered

[velvet kayak]

Dunno, I’ve never enjoyed a CoD in my life but it caters to me and my friends.

[rocky granite]

Bf6 destruction is the best in the series

[hallow geode]

Truuuue. Not a true battlefield map unless it matches up to the size of an IRL city

[sand dagger]

Agreed

[lucid mist]

IF IT DOSEN'T TAKE 20 IRL MINUTES BETWEEN OBJECTVES ITS TOO SMALL. CODFIELD 6 COMING OCTOBER 10TH 2025 GET READY FOR REAL SHOOTER GAMEPLAY

[rocky granite]

Guns confirmed to get mud caked effects on them 🥰🥰🥰

[orchid cairn]

Yes but that shouldn't be the entirety of the game which is exactly what that open beta impression gave. However, like I mentioned use google. There are plentyyyy of vids showing big maps. I think it was a huge mistake to not at least show one big map in that open beta. It's biting them in the foot. Stupidity.

[white moss]

And dirty clothes

[frank dust]

clears throat

[velvet kayak]

Smaller maps probably gave them more combat data

[ocean sun]

To each their own, I wanted to like BF6...and on the surface, I did spend 30 hours in the Beta....it's not terrible by any stretch...but honestly for what they want for the asking price...I'll wait for it to move to Gamepass...and in the meantime if I want a BF-like I'll mess with Delta Force...and I'll just enjoy Arc Raiders when it drops...that's just my t ake.

[frank dust]

2,629,945 seconds remaining until Battlefield 6

[outer thistle]

THANK YOU

[hallow geode]

Each map should be MINIMUM the size of vice city in GTA 6 or it's over

[lucid mist]

hmmm yes this larger map gave us lots of useful data of people running for 5 minutes and getting sniped or assblasted by a tank, very insightful

[civic herald]

Bruh big maps are so bad just look at 2042

[velvet kayak]

I don’t even know what the asking price is (but still gonna buy it)

[lusty wyvern]

fun fact: Roman Campos-Oriola was the lead designer of Ghost Recon Future Soldier and Director of the Dead Space Remake while Phillipe Ducharme had various roles in Army of Two (1 & 2) and Assassin's Creed 3. Phillip is now the executive special producer of the Campaign and Roman is the senior creative director of the Campaign

[stable remnant]

they should add "HD micro destruction" like that bf3 Close Quarters dlc

[lusty wyvern]

They may be cooking

[orchid cairn]

That excuse has been given but in all due respect that's absolute bull and a cop out. Not on your part. The devs and Dice.

[outer thistle]

fushe pass clears eternity of bf6 and bf2042

game from 100 years ago

churchill was alive when bf2 was made

[lusty wyvern]

They may be cooking

[lucid mist]

you guys are all wrong bf3 is a cod clone I miss the good old days when battlefield was good and now all thee cod kids just play bf3.

im sticking with the REAL BATTLEFIELD game bf2 modern combat

[civic herald]

Big maps is walking simulator and die to vehicle and snipers

[outer thistle]

i had 1.3k hours in bf3 and you are spot on

it was huge departure at the time from old bf design

and bad one as well

[hallow geode]

Nah modern combat mobile game is the true battlefield experience

[ocean sun]

BF2 was IMO the best BF...it was well rounded, the vehicles were meaningful...maps were good...not great, but if they had just moved that game design into a better graphical presentation and audio...and somehow added the destruction, and a center piece on each map for mass destruction...but kept everything form BF2 about the same...you'd have a winner.

[lucid mist]

wow holy shit someone who's smart and realizes this community is an actual cyclic clone of itself

[outer thistle]

no no you misunderstood

[stable remnant]

bf 1943 >

[outer thistle]

bf3 WAS a cod clone at the time

[velvet kayak]

I’m going back to Pong!

[outer thistle]

they tried to get that COD slice

look at the map lineup

almost mirrors bf6

[lucid mist]

wow dice cant believe they're switching bf2 to a modern setting... literally copying call of duty. all these kids these days don't understand that REAL battlefield is bf1942. all this jump shooting and small maps is literally a cod clone....

[ocean sun]

BF2142, was the most awesome...with potential...they need to do 2142 again with the Titan Mode, I'd be there.

[outer thistle]

YELL IT INTO EXISTENCE

but not battleyard 2142, actual battlefield please

[civic herald]

Bru no one was alive when it came out

[outer thistle]

not like mirak garden or new sobek village

[ocean sun]

Or we could go wild...and make BF - Medeival Warfare...and only have Archers and Melee...let's do it...let's do it, but make it massive...with destruction from Balistas and Trebuchets...let's do it...better than Chiv, Mordhau...better than Kingmakers...let's do it!

[long bolt]

did you mean 2042?

[ocean sun]

Naw 2142

[deep glade]

Ah, so we’re also getting the UH 60 in bf6

[outer thistle]

Battlefield 2142

not 2042

[ocean sun]

2142 had a flying mothership called Titan Mode...you launched ICBMs at it to take down shields, then blew up the core...it was amazing

[outer thistle]

it had free DLC

[olive basalt]

Cool universe, abysmally dogshit gunplay. And I say this as someone whose first Battlefield game was 2142 back in '07

[outer thistle]

oh yes gunplay was terrible

bf2 as well

[ocean sun]

Yea they just need to tighten the actual gunplay up, but Titan Mode...that was so good.

[outer thistle]

thats why i said, port Battlefield V mechanics into BF2142 and its something I willl play for 5k hours

at least

in fact, BFV got bunch of stuff from older games

like limited ammo on vehicles

[civic herald]

Vehicle need to die in 1 rpg hit like in real life

[outer thistle]

one can dream though and to hope and cope for better future titles

for now we get battleyard 6

[deft zephyr]

They should make a campaign DLC for BF6 that takes place in 2042

[stable remnant]

and they need to go back in time to stop the game from being made?

Final mission is in Dice studio

[deft zephyr]

The Abrams can tank dozens of RPG-7 warheads. If the game were that realistic PAX AT gunners would be cooked lol

[civic herald]

Javelin 1 shot

[deft zephyr]

True

[deft zephyr]

In the final mission you have to deal with EA's stock holders, lmao

[white moss]

For me BF3 was the best

[white moss]

That one is impossible to beat without the game turning to crap

[deft zephyr]

Anybody else concerned about the Sledge Hammer causing too much damage to buildings?

[stable remnant]

yes. Even bullets were shown to take down entire buildings just by shooting them, its silly. Needs much much more Micro-Destruction

Is it gonna be its oen gadget or just a passive / part of the base kit?

[stable remnant]

its Melee, instead of your knife

[remote hatch]
