battlefield-6

[stable remnant]

as often as your knife

[lucid mist]

you can't have finals-level destruction + 64 players + runs well on most systems

[stable remnant]

but you can split a mesh into seperate trigger points

its not a simulation

[short flame]

Grab one and go smash a door or your floor or wall with one as hard as you can and see how much damage you cause , it’s a lot it’s a sledgehammer

[lucid mist]

are they not already doing this? Its not like the whole building falls apart with one swing.

[long bolt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R7KDcFSfSs
it will be fun befor its nerfed X)

[stable remnant]

2 swings, basically kind of does yeah. Not everywhere. You can knock out a chunk of wall, but usually the damage triggers way too much. but it looks cool

[lucid mist]

tbh it depends on the map. Sometimes its a bit much but I've found in the vids like testing the hammer on the firestorm buildings it seems way more balanced

[stable remnant]

yep, exactly. i saw the same

[lucid mist]

personally I'd rather it be a bit overtuned to prevent it from being a "forgotten" gadget

there needs to be benefit to bringing it as your boom boom tool as opposed to just shootin noob tubes or tossing c4

[stable remnant]

The big buildings in Firestorm can be taken out bit by bit untill only the frame exists

it doesnt feel like that in Seige of Cairo. It's..different

A spectacle

[lucid mist]

heres the problem with cairo and destruction:

its a very streamlined map. too much "real" destruction will kill the flow for infantry and make vehicles too strong. I don't mind the destruction being mostly cinematic there. Its a lot like pearl market.

[stable remnant]

Looks awesome, feels awesome, i just wish the apple took more bites to finish i guess is the best way i can put it

[lucid mist]

its an understandable criticism

[hallow geode]

I've got no problem with destruction being a bit more limited on certain maps. I love the idea of each map having different levels of destruction as long as it fits the map

[lucid mist]

exactamundo. not every map needs to follow the same rules and so many people dont understand that

[slow horizon]

[tight prism]

Is the beta on console still running?

[lucid mist]

no

if you are invited to labs you can participate in that but beta is closed

[tight prism]

@lucid mist I didn't think so, I don't have my email from them anymore

[granite briar]

I have email but rsvp dont work. so i went to ea labs page logged in and done it there is this ok

[tight prism]

Is that only for PC?

[lucid mist]

https://ea.arcsivr.com/Portal/home go to this and see if you have any playests

[granite briar]

thats where i went and says i have a playtest friday 7 to 10 cet. so i filled it all in and seems ok thanks

pc yes

[tight prism]

Anyone still running an i9-10900 for BF6 or similar?

I checked the link and got no tests

[winged anchor]

Is that 7 am or 7 pm?

[stable remnant]

i9 13,900ks, my game always crashed when joining mp tho

[thorn trail]

Can anyone gift me a game on steam?

[tight prism]

damn, i didnt get any crashes during the beta but was wondering if anyone had a similar cpu

[stable remnant]

i played on ps5 instead

[lucid mist]

I tried it on a 8700k and a 14650HX and both ran good

both i7s

[pastel lagoon]

i7 13700 kf and my 4070 ti ran gorgeously

[tight prism]

I'm getting major FOMO and keep wanting to upgrade to a 7800x3d but that will require a new mobo, ram, and aio

[rancid rain]

i buy bf6 on steam ))

[pastel sigil]

I hate the secure boot requirement, not because I want to cheat, i hate cheating, but because I always play BF with my brother, he tried the beta and got the error msg about secure boot, tried to enable it, didnt work. Followed a step by step guide and boom, bricked his whole pc. Appearantly many people with Gigabyte mobo's have this issue. Now he just can't play when it releases..

[tight prism]

was he on win 10

[pastel sigil]

yeah

[tight prism]

thats why

[pastel sigil]

10, so am i

[kind snow]

Why not 9800x3d ?

[pastel sigil]

but i have no issues at all

[lucid mist]

how do people even manage to do this

[tight prism]

maybe his setup just doesn't allow it

[pastel sigil]

The Gigabyte forums are full of it, it's a problem there

[lucid mist]

bios navigation should be taught in every computer class

[tight prism]

i dont see the price jump to be worth it for the performance increase

i learned bios stuff in HS

[pastel sigil]

He followed a step by step guide on the Gigabyte forums, and it just bricked. He had to flash his bios to make it work again

[lucid mist]

does his motherboard support uefi?

[kind snow]

Probably has windows installed on legacy

[pastel sigil]

I think it did, but I wasn't there. He lives on his own so didnt see what he did. But he's not the only 1 that's for sure

it's stupid to do the whole bios thing to play a game tho imo. I didn't have issues but I still think it's a lame requirement. Just download, install and play as it always was with any game

[vale wadi]

As a console player I hope they add every possible piece of anti cheat they can. Hate playing against PC players. They said it’ll be console to console matchmaking priority but PC players can still slip in

[kind snow]

I haven’t ran into a single cheater in me over 4k hours in 2042, are you sure the pc players your going against are actually cheaters or just good ?

[crimson gate]

the game doesnt have cheaters because it doesnt have any players xd

[blazing peak]

dxesGBVSRFVESNHDGBVDFC WGDGBIKWEU4FGBIW

[long bolt]

forward! 😉

[shrewd abyss]

i'd love to have that in BF6 and also the heavy movement of the turrets from BF1 and BFV in BF6

[inland onyx]

Did past BF games had any vehicles similar to the IFV in 6?
Like, with the driver having good weapons, while also being a whole team deploy position

[outer thistle]

wdym? turrets are heaviest in bf6, did you play the beta?

[shrewd abyss]

yes, but top turrets moved quite fast, the main turrets were quite fast too

[shrewd abyss]

iirc BF2, BF3, BF FFA, BF4 and i think maybe BF1 with the shoebox

[inland onyx]

Hun that’s a lot more than I thought
I guess I played too much 2042

[outer thistle]

we might haven ot played the same beta then, bf6 has slowest main turrets in the franchise, legit terribly slow

gunner is very fast though

bf3 level fast

[shrewd abyss]

should be slower, but general aiming in the same direction should be faster

tanks should be punishing to use if you're not well positioned or lack team support

[inland onyx]

Also I really wish that when using mouse, you can drag the cursor further than the torrent move speed in first person mode

[inland onyx]

Like, either make it so that your camera slowly catch up, or make your camera rotate out of the fov view

[visual meadow]

☝🏻

[inland onyx]

Most people just don’t like how when they drag their mouse really fast to rotate 180, the turret only moved like 5 degrees

[olive basalt]

those dang torrents, always flooding my flood zones....

[outer thistle]

tbh its lunacy to request it to be slower

like legit lunacy, sorry man

[shrewd abyss]

Also the turret doesnt have 360 degrees sight, it only points forward and you're seeing it through a screen, if you were OUTSIDE, it could be possible

[shrewd abyss]

it shouldnt do a 360 in milisseconds, that's all im asking

[inland onyx]

Yeah, so like, a cursor UI on the HUD, showing how much forward you are dragging

[shrewd abyss]

just like Star CItizen does yes

[outer thistle]

you cant do that in beta with main turret, you cant do that in any battlefield ever wtf are you talking about

[crimson gate]

he wants war thunder tanks basically

[shrewd abyss]

BF3 and BF4 turret movement were quite fast

[outer thistle]

man these people have severe skill issues

[shrewd abyss]

BF1 and BFV are faster than War Thunder, and that is fine

[outer thistle]

ifv and mbt in bf6 are the slowest turning in franchise

and should be very fast, even real life leopard is like aimbot

[shrewd abyss]

how long to do a 360?

[outer thistle]

if you want to actually have proper aim you need to wait solid 2-3 seconds to do a full spin i literally counted it

[slow horizon]

looking for engineer lis friend for iwo jima breakthrough to repair c5. dm

[outer thistle]

slightly slower than bfv tank

you need to have 1 kilometer table to swipe the turrent in 1st person

[shrewd abyss]

geez that's fast as hell, the irl Leopard does it in around 11 seconds

[outer thistle]

lmao okay you are trolling now, have a nice day

[shrewd abyss]

then please, show me it in action

the video i looked showed the body moving and doing a 360, not the turret

it was 11 seconds to do a full 360

[outer thistle]

sir war thunder and world of tanks are down the alley and than to the left, thank you very much and have a nice day

[winged anchor]

Im pretty sure you can go in settings and adjust sensitivity for tank turrets individually

[shrewd abyss]

make it 7/8 seconds in BF6 and its gonna be a good method of balance

[shrewd abyss]

the issue is not that, the issue is that turrets can move around WAY too fast

and avoid most players from getting in close

both main and support

[outer thistle]

nah lunber is actual giga infantry scrub and needs every vehicle to be thin as paper and slow as maggots

isnt laser beam rpg, sound mines, at mines, double AT launchers enough?

what more do you need

[shrewd abyss]

im all in for slow tanks and taking more damage, but also they dont have to be FAST as they are

[shrewd abyss]

you say that as if many players are taking engineer in BF

[outer thistle]

DUDE, there is not a single slower assortment of tanks and ifvs than BF6

they dont do any splash damage to infantry as well

[shrewd abyss]

looks at BF1 and BFV

[outer thistle]

its slowwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeer

legit slower than them

i am not exaggerating

vince zampella is leading the franchise he is making vehicles terrible, relax dude

[shrewd abyss]

im not talking about MOVEMENT speed, im talking about TURRET speed

[outer thistle]

i am talking about both

you are legit not paying attention

i am maxed out my sens in settings for IFV and MBT

it took me two full swipes around 35cm on my table to do 180 degrees

legit slower and its unplayable

[shrewd abyss]

so its not dependant on sensitivity? That's great imo

[outer thistle]

ITS NOT MAN ARE YOU 25 IQ\

??????

its FIXED sensitivity

you cant speed up the turret

[shrewd abyss]

Its awesome

it shouldnt be dependant on sensitivity

[long bolt]

[outer thistle]

i am telling you what it is

i dont care what should be or shouldnt

[shrewd abyss]

yes, and my point was -> It should be slow, just not irl levels of slow

also a tank can move at what? 70km/h?

[tight creek]

How it’s going guys

[outer thistle]

and infantry should die in 1 bullet from any vehicle

legit anything tocuhes you and you die

[tight creek]

What’s your favorite class so far

[winged anchor]

Vidya games not a sim

[shrewd abyss]

yup and it also demands balance, even more in a pvp environment

[outer thistle]

and vehicles should 1 hit infantry from anything, ifv dealt random splash damage from rock to you? dead on spot

also cant revive and your team loses a ticket

deal?

[shrewd abyss]

What's your issue with tanks being slower?

[outer thistle]

whats your issue with me one shotting you like in real life?

[shrewd abyss]

like, they should take minimum 4 AT rockets imo

3 in the back

[outer thistle]

any shrapnel in real life hits you and you are minced meat

[shrewd abyss]

again, you didnt answer my question

[outer thistle]

are you fine with being one shot?

[shrewd abyss]

if that's the idea of the game, its fine, but again, we're talking about Battlefield

[outer thistle]

and I am talking about Battlefield

[shrewd abyss]

turrets should be slower than BF3's and BF4's

but not on the same level

[outer thistle]

you want to nerf already the worst turret speed out of any battlefield game

you obviously didnt play beta

[shrewd abyss]

3 seconds to do a full 360?

that's still fast imo

[outer thistle]

XD

infantry players XD

[crimson gate]

Think the tank and ifv felt pretty good to play during the beta

[outer thistle]

i watched a dude stash 12 bullets on iberian offensive into 1 meter radios of pax armata player and it resulted into +5 suppression and this dude wants to nerf turret speed

from IFV

might as well remove vehicles at this point

bf players secretly always loved CoD, thats why BF6 will be successful 😄

small maps, funnel in the middle, bad vehicles, matchmaking

[crimson gate]

I think they're trying to give the machine gunner a purpose they buffed it and nerfed the main gun against infantry. machine gun has been notoriously bad in every previous game

[outer thistle]

perfection it seems

[thorn patrol]

:p

[shrewd abyss]

the only small maps i liked were BF3 Closed Quarters DLC, Metro and Locker

[fallen fox]

Should have been a bradley instead of the cv90 from the us team

[shrewd abyss]

the BF6 ones were not that good

[crimson gate]

Bradley is in the full game

[fallen fox]

Weirdly not in the open beta

[shrewd abyss]

i just dont want to come up to the back of the tank to just see it do a 180 in a milissecond and send me to hell

[proper nexus]

i hope it was 11 of october already

[tame mortar]

The tanks and IFVs in bf6 probably have the best mechanics/sounds oat

[austere cove]

Is anyone here an Intel arc user

[outer thistle]

again you did not play open beta if you think this is possible in miliseconds

you are outing yourself

[tame mortar]

Only problem is the air vehicles they feel terrible in bf6

[outer thistle]

thats intended

[fallen fox]

The gepard

[outer thistle]

it wont get fixed

[tame mortar]

I wouldn't say so, they just feel clunky and not good

[austere cove]

Just like real life

[outer thistle]

nope, legit slow but sure removal of vehicles

[tame mortar]

Not how it works, it's a game

[outer thistle]

transport heli on like 2-3 maps

no little bird at all

[tame mortar]

Also in real life have you seen what an apache can do?

It can definitely move

[austere cove]

I've seen what an apache can do to my people

[shrewd abyss]

i did play the beta, but couldnt get in tanks, so i just fixed them to get the rewards XD

[tame mortar]

Not only is the attack heli clunky, it's also very underpowered against a team with an iq of 80

[outer thistle]

you need to have severe skill isssue to not be able to deal with tanks in this game

1 sound mine + 1 rpg and tanks are gone

they dont even have thermal sights

its not planned

[tame mortar]

Good luck doing all of this against actual competent tank players with engineers behind

[outer thistle]

one in 10 matches in reality has that kind of combo

[tame mortar]

I went like 82 and 1 in one of my games with an IFV

I had 3 engineers behind me

[crimson gate]

The beta had tanks swarming with engineers because of the challenges. It wont be like that in the full game

[outer thistle]

you had 3 engineers because of the challenge, once game is out you will have this once every month unless you premade

[shrewd abyss]

well, imo they could have as secondary, but man even in BF2042 they're bad XD

[tame mortar]

Oh I'm talking about bf6

[outer thistle]

and I am talking about soviet union

wth do you think I am tlaking about, basketball? I am talking about BF6

[crimson gate]

There was a challenge to repair tanks in the beta

[shrewd abyss]

plays ussr anthem

[tame mortar]

You said 3 engineers behind me because of challenge, there was a weekly challange in 2042 to do 500 repairs....

[outer thistle]

yes, these people think they will get repairs LMAO

[outer thistle]

honey, same thing was in bf6 beta

legit same

[tame mortar]

I dont remember so, but yeah ifvs in bf6 are really strong

[outer thistle]

i was repairman for an ex-competitive tank player in bf3 and if you teamwork over teamspeak you are unbetable

[tame mortar]

Tanks are kinda bad tho

[outer thistle]

same will happen in bf6 unless they completely nerf vehicles which they will

[shrewd abyss]

IFV's should get a buff in splash zone for main turret

[outer thistle]

this is infantryfield through and through

[tame mortar]

Oh no, they should nerf ifvs imo

They also don't have a big weak spot like the tanks do

The tanks get 2 shot from the back

Ifvs don't have a huge weak spot

[outer thistle]

you are legit lying now lmfao

they have same exact weakness

[tame mortar]

Compared to tanks they don't

[outer thistle]

they do

2 shots in the back and its over

[tame mortar]

The back shot on tanks does more damage than it does on the ifvs

[outer thistle]

first deals 70% of hp

second is kill

[tame mortar]

The weakness on the ifvs is the side

[outer thistle]

nah i cant take these people seriously

[tame mortar]

Whatever you say ig

[outer thistle]

enjoy slopyard 6

[tame mortar]

What are you talking about lol?

[slender epoch]

Ifv was essentially a mav

in the beta

[outer thistle]

this dude tells me my own experience is not real

incredible

[shrewd abyss]

i agree on you there, IFV's weakness has always been on the back

[tame mortar]

Ironic, you're doing the same to me

Ego much

[outer thistle]

you are tellign me that people dealt more damage to you on the sides than in the back?

are you out of your mind now?

[tame mortar]

From my experience yeah

On the ifv the weakspot wasn't as bad as it was on tanks

[outer thistle]

no its not true, that was a sound mine my guy

[tame mortar]

I found myself getting 2 shot in the back while in the tank and not an IFV

[outer thistle]

it wasnt well animated and there is no warning

sound mine deals that damage

ifvs have same weakness since they are more similar to tanks in this game

[shrewd abyss]

sound mine is that weird ass thingy that is basically a heatseeker?

[outer thistle]

sounds mine is insane, legit terrifying

70% of hp gone

[tame mortar]

Hm idk, when I played for some reason I died way faster from the back with a tank that's why i wasn't sure

I found myself surviving more with the IFV

[outer thistle]

yes

find a small bush or ruble

plant this dude there

and tanks/ifv lose 70% of hp instantly

and its very fast, unless they react and pop active protection

[tame mortar]

They need some type of indication because the mines are a bit overpowered, you can only see it spring up that's it

[outer thistle]

this is a huge issue

eeverything looks the same

same sounds

[tame mortar]

On release they might have AP to survive the mines

[outer thistle]

there is gadget that spots these mines but you trade off something important I just dont know what it was

[tame mortar]

Because as of now the tanks and IFVs are extremely basic, which i don't mind tbh

[outer thistle]

and also if you press CRAWL on keyboard you can avoid them

it reacts to normal speed and fast speed tanks

crawl speed is ignored

[tame mortar]

They definitely added some type of counter measure to the mines on release, i hope so at least

[outer thistle]

basically here is the deal, if something absolutely obliterated you in ifv and it wasnt rpg from the back it was this mine

thats it

[tame mortar]

It they do add AP on the ifvs or tanks, that might be a problem, the time to kill is veryyy fast while inside the tank

Tank mg i meant

Because i remember in bf4 infantry survived for a while when getting shot by an MG

[outer thistle]

its a trade off for infinite ammo for both gunner and driver in bf4

here however gunner is better vs infantry

[tame mortar]

Right I forgot about the inf ammo

But tbh with the restore stations being around the map its not really a big deal

[outer thistle]

coax is strong vs infantry and i am curios about HE grande

grenades

you can equip two shells

AT MPT and HE

two of these

beta didnt have HE

[tame mortar]

Oh right and another thing the IFVs had over the tank is the machine gun being extremely accurate compared to the tanks one, and the fact that you get a TOW missile as well

[vapid linden]

I much prefer tank machine guns not being arbitrarily inaccurate for no reason at all despite being mountrd to mega expensive gyroscopicly controlled turrets tbh

[outer thistle]

oh another thing, there is loadout for a gunner as well

its intended to be strong

thats actually something I like about bf6

[vapid linden]

Bf4 has it really bad that for balance the tank mgs have stupid bloom

[outer thistle]

both are equals now

basically in seige of cairo if you get a squad of two repair dudes and tank + gunner

you could easily have 150-0 combined every game

which is actually cool if maps werent csgo size

another good thing about BF6 is that TV missile is back

[shrewd abyss]

this "fire and forget" gear should deal less damage imo

[vapid linden]

I get it's balance related
But it sooooo takes me out of it that a bipod deployed lmg is more accurate and has less recoil bloom than a tank MG

[tame mortar]

It is?

[outer thistle]

yes, playtester told me its an unlock

[tame mortar]

I really hope they make it as strong as bf2

[outer thistle]

so thats genuinely nice

[tame mortar]

Also be careful with saying that I got banned for 2 days once

[outer thistle]

if they fix dusting i might legit play bf6 even though i hate everything about it

tv missile is best thing about modern battlefields for me

[austere cove]

Does bf6 follow the storyline from before?

Or its still unclear yet

[outer thistle]

today i was flying mi 28 in bf3 and dusted 6 hornets in a row

actually infuriating

[tame mortar]

The tv missile in battlefield 2 was so good as well

[outer thistle]

it was so OP lmao

legit incredible

power wise bf2 heli is stronger and more agile than bf3

but bf3 had noshahr canals

that map is the reason i had 212-0 game

[tame mortar]

Tbh the attack heli wasn't even the strongest thing about bf2, the jets were a menace

Due to the render distance and fog, the jets destroyed everything

[willow lance]

It’s probably set in the BF3-4-2042-1-5-2142 universe but you probably won’t need to know stories of prior games

[vapid linden]

Please stop reminding me that I prefer almost every bf3 map

[austere cove]

I see

[vapid linden]

I know it's boomer posting but all they gotta do is remaster like almost all the maps from bf3 and I'll be happy

[ivory arch]

Operation Firestorm still the goat

[outer thistle]

i want you to compare empire state rush vs damavand peak. tehran highway, bf3 firestorm and kharg island rush

[vapid linden]

See
This is the ONE map from bf3 people like that I just thing is mid af tbh

[ivory arch]

I’m glad it’s coming to bf6

[outer thistle]

and tell me how is bf6 spiritual successor to bf3

[ivory arch]

Campers is my only issue with it

I love metro tho lmao

[ivory arch]

Battlefield 3 tops everything dawg

[willow lance]

BF3 beta was metro, BF6 beta was empire state

[outer thistle]

false, Metro AND CASPIAN BORDER

[tidal finch]

for 2K resolution for BF 6 which is the best option 27" flat panel or 32" curved with a 9060XT?

[vapid linden]

My memory of firestorm is 1/3rd of every team contributing nothing and trying to land headshots with 12x scopes ontop of cranes/mountains, some plugged in jet pilot with 10k hours absolutely annihilating everything everywhere, and just ridiculous lulls in actual action without having to run around on foot and getting picked off in the open

Not to say it couldn't be fun

[tame mortar]

Same with metro, I personally dont find metro good

[outer thistle]

Metro rush also goated

[ivory arch]

Tenk go vroom

[outer thistle]

whole game made with rush in mind like bfbc2

[rustic merlin]

One of them is in the BR map, you can cut it out and add it to the map rotation in Portal even

[smoky tulip]

I find Metro to be a pointless meat grinder. There is no skill or tactics involved.

[tidal finch]

chime in, I need the advice.

[rustic merlin]

Sometimes people just want a mindless meat grinder

[vapid linden]

Seine crossing , damavand peak, metro were all best as rush maps tbh

[tame mortar]

True, i think that's what the map was made for, but i dont really enjoy it

[outer thistle]

yep

now rush is practically unplayable and badly designed

[dark owl]

that's why I find it so fun

[wise cloak]

The map was there to grind out weapons and such as far as I understand

[outer thistle]

no tension no anticipation no large scale fights

[smoky tulip]

That's fine. I'm just not a fan for Conquest. I do like Metro for Rush. Feel the same about Locker

[outer thistle]

look at mirak garden breakthrough, pathetic

[frozen thorn]

Be advised

[tidal finch]

damn..never mind the question peeps

[tame mortar]

Maybe unpopular opinion, but conquest is boring in 90% of maps but breakthrough is very fun

[frozen thorn]

I personally like the long stalemate with tight corridors. Holding the line and managing to slip through with a slight bit of luck was fun. It shouldnt be the main focus of the whole game, so 1 map where it happens is good.

[long bolt]

its more of a you thing, some will like the 27' some will like the 32, personally i would stay away from curved monitors

also the 32 can be a pain to mount due to the weight

[smoky tulip]

No, I wouldn't get rid of it. That is what I like about BF. There are a lot of play options.

[frozen thorn]

What are your thoughts about Lumphini Valley

[outer thistle]

incoming community meltdown over how bad it is

there is realistically only 3 flags in conquest

middle of the map and flank flag to the side

same thing as liberation peak

only C, D and maybe E were true fights

rest of the map impossible to capture becase HQ was too close

[smoky tulip]

Depends on the Map. BF3 and BF4 had great conquest maps. Gulf of Oman, Golmud Railroad, Caspian Border, Operation Firestorm, Paracel Island, Zavod, Lost Islands, Hainan Resort. All good conquest maps.

I do like breakthrough and Frontline though. I felt the Conquest modes and Operations modes in BF1 were great.

[knotty grotto]

Metro

[frozen thorn]

The only TDM I played was on Norshaar because of how well the map worked.

[knotty grotto]

Bf3 one tho, 4 had a very small outside part while 3 had a whole park where the playground would shift to the underground metro mid match

[outer thistle]

people forget this very often

metro was long af

[knotty grotto]

I have some memories of 3

Bc2 had that sniper bolt sound

[smoky tulip]

Metro in BF3 was amazing. It had the best Rush mode.

[knotty grotto]

Also that destruction sound, i remember that sound of doors getting melee’d

[frozen thorn]

Nato flag was possible, but Pax flag was a literal fotress on a hill with at least 4 snipers. I saw it more of an environmental hazard than an objective.

[outer thistle]

precisely

its not like it was balanced at all, just straight up favoring pax

[tidal finch]

Monkey, thank you for your thoughts. I actually won't be wall mounting. Are you running with a 27 or 32?

[outer thistle]

thats how mirak will play as well but even more absurd

no one will touch trenches and village on conquest

[frozen thorn]

I played a dozen games on Liberation Peak and I was NATO every time lmao

[smoky tulip]

I brought this up earlier but couldnt get back in. I feel the sledge hammers are overpowered in damaging buildings in BF6. I feel like they should only knock down half a wall or a 3 foot hole.

[outer thistle]

only small base and two buildings

[vestal canopy]

bc2 had the best sniping sound

[outer thistle]

there is a reason why heli has gunner and pilot damage drop off

they dont expect engagements from longer distances

[knotty grotto]

U could HEAR and FEEL the power, also the echo

[outer thistle]

they are funneling everyone on like 2 objectvies

[long bolt]

2x 27' with a dual spring floating mount

[knotty grotto]

2 was the ‘infantry spotted’ spam

[outer thistle]

enemy infantry spotted enemy sniper spotted

[vapid linden]

Norshaar tdm was excellent

[knotty grotto]

Could you repeat that? Didnt catch it

[outer thistle]

just remember the PTSD

savor it

[knotty grotto]

Cool but while u are typing an ENEMY TANK IS INBOUND OVER

[outer thistle]

Sorry

i actually cant believe that my 13 year old self sat through that madness and just enjoyed the game

that would be infuriating right now

[red kiln]

What do yall think about the pay to unlock on the "free battle pass"?

Did ea make it hard to grind to get quick money?

[knotty grotto]

The what??

[smoky tulip]

I'm all for it. BF2042 sucks and not everyone has the time. These are just cosmetics anyway.

[shrewd abyss]

and sound design!

[outer thistle]

i would never pay 75 dollars to unlock the engineer skin

also did you know its pax armata only?

[knotty grotto]

Sounds like csgo

[red kiln]

Yeah but making it hard to grind soo that people not interested enought speend money on a TERRIBLE game its anoying

[shrewd abyss]

which goes to another point -> permanent battlepasses like Helldivers 2

[smoky tulip]

Is that how much they're asking?

[knotty grotto]

Drg:

[shrewd abyss]

yep

[outer thistle]

my favorite greed strat is from dota 2

you NEEED to spend 300 dollars to get best arcanas

[knotty grotto]

Blizzard: pay per week or month for this transport thing with a bit of storage

[outer thistle]

blizzard is a microtransaction company

i cant take them seriously

why is there a game inside my microtransaction?

[frozen thorn]

Depends on the price and the grind

[knotty grotto]

We should stop calling it micro… its not small

I hope BF6 doesn't make us grind BP progression like we do on 2042, ain't nobody got time for that!

[knotty grotto]

Codm used to have a simple pass

[outer thistle]

check heli if you can if it has tv missile and report back to me

[knotty grotto]

Just a few ez tasks u get and u were guarenteed to finish it

But the helldivers/drg model works better

[wild merlin]

I wont be able to discuss it, it seems

[outer thistle]

no one needs to know

[wild merlin]

which is kinda weird since we had a huge open beta already

[outer thistle]

queue the just the two of us song

[knotty grotto]

[outer thistle]

me and michael share leaks in secret

[sudden prism]

its basically a empty company

[knotty grotto]

@outer thistle youre over the mission area BOMBS AWAY

[outer thistle]

yo someone just leaked active protection for tanks

it lasts 20 seconds and has 20 second cooldown

HAHAHAHAHHAHAH

[shrewd abyss]

or just make em permanent, that would solve the issue

[long bolt]

didnt see that coming 🙄

[normal depot]

@knotty grotto *crickets

[long bolt]

youknow there is not much need in a team leader if theres no commander

[spare socket]

It's really not necessary to purchase tbh the pass is easier than people realize

at the end of each week you need to be at each xp margin:
W3: 34.4 (passed)
W4: 40.8
W5: 47.2
W6: 53.6
W7: You need to be done this week. Pass disappears on Oct 7.

this is assuming you complete all pass missions (including the mission that pops up for only 1 week the last one, ensure you do this)

(and also not assuming you gain any more xp)

At this point I legit just log in for the pass missions and that's it

the only stupid pass missions imo are the explosive multi kills (you need 3 kills at once, not 2) and incendiary damage

the soflam spots is also pretty miserable but it's easy and can be completed in like 1 game

[smoky tulip]

Or taking ten objectives in one match when everyone isnt playing the objectives. Lol.

I swear I had explosive multimillion several times and it won't register more than one.

[spare socket]

you didn't it's because you got 2 kills

3 is what it takes with 1 explosion to get an "explosive multi kill"

[red kiln]

Meh, i just do 5 levels of pure xp then the 5 lv of completing all tasks

Currently at lv 45 i would be fine doing only mision tasks now

I think

[spare socket]

correct you're done

you can legit just do the weekly missions each week and you'd fully finish the pass

[red kiln]

Yeah but it still feels wrong for people that dosent have s lot of time, but whatever, is just skins at the end of the day

[kind snow]

If you do it right all you need is a total of 30-40 hours

Over 40 days thats nothing

[red kiln]

I guess

[kind snow]

I mean if you cant play 40 hours in 40 days since your so busy why would you even want them lol

[spare socket]

with the triple and double xp weekends it can go by a lot faster

the base time is a lot longer than 40 hours tho imma be real with you

[kind snow]

Nah that wouldnt effect it much

[spare socket]

?

[kind snow]

Yea maybe 35 hours max

[spare socket]

????

a triple xp weekend would literally take 8 hours of effort and make it 24 hours worth of gameplay...

what do you mean by "not affect it much"

and it's notably more than 35 hours I've legit only bought 2042 for this pass

[kind snow]

You would get enough xp to get to 24 just by doing all 7 weeks

[spare socket]

Let me check my total time on the game I've played without double xp

and frankly I'm an exception

I tend to get top of the leaderboard almost every game

[kind snow]

Your trying to get it from xp alone so your not doing it right, and yes ive been level 60 since last monday

[spare socket]

I'm not talking about that

I no longer touch the game

to be done with XP at each week:
W3: 34.4
W4: 40.8
W5: 47.2
W6: 53.6

I'm talking about the xp margin

I literally only currently log in to do the weekly missions

because I've grinded the xp necessary to reach the xp margin at which xp is no longer needed

frankly i'm a bit under cuz Ik i'm gonna gain xp via games

[long bolt]

why not use the portal xp farms if you are avoiding "playing" the game

[spare socket]

crashes for me

[restive robin]

why avoid the playing the game since the ballistics are so similar to bf6? you think you are gona suck at 2042 and magically get good at bf6? lol

[spare socket]

I get at the top of the leaderboard almost every game

I play bf4 to this day and would rather play that

[restive robin]

100% the people whining about bf2042 are gonna be the same people whining about bf6 1 week in. some people are just bad, and whiners.

[spare socket]

not really

2042's developement cycle was hell on earth

[restive robin]

we're not in the development cycle. we're in the endgame

[spare socket]

@kind snow I checked its around 31 hours

[spare socket]

even post launch the game hobbled together itself from basic systems some of which linger in the game to this day

I would love to get into a discussion around 2042 unfortunately I have a class like... right now

[restive robin]

some of those basic system failures were still present in the bf6 beta. it's an engine failure. same engine.

[kind snow]

Yea so like i said 30-40

[spare socket]

But again I would say I am an exception

[kind snow]

Yea with the first week and the buffs you only need 24 via levels now if you started from the beginning

[kind snow]

Not really plenty of people have done it with the last battle pass

Even if you only do weeklies you most likely will get to 24 just while doing them

[spare socket]

I don't think a person who scores top of the board almost every game is a good example for the average

[long bolt]

average player is around 500 points a match

[kind snow]

^

Ive also done it before with one of the previous battle passes in 35 hours

[smoky tulip]

That makes sense.

[shrewd abyss]

im at 50 already rofl

[restive robin]

i finished my bp too early, so i offerend to send EA some extra money anyway cuz i felt bad

[kind snow]

I got 3 accounts to level 60 now im just gonna buy the other 2 to level 60 now that we can buy levels

[tired epoch]

anyone know if bf coins will transfer to bf6

[restive robin]

no

in fact, if you have 2042 coins, you actually get a negative balance in bf6 whatever that amount was

[tired epoch]

lol
welp time to spend it all

i got like 8k from all the inperson playtests i did

[restive robin]

that was a joke, but the answer is no

[tired epoch]

shame

buy the batlepass if you need. otherwise, buy the sexiest paik skin you can find

if u live nearby a physical studio you can playtest for ea rewards

Signed up as soon as it came out and i still havent been invited

[restive robin]

i had in person playtesting. but just one guy from EA came to my house. I'm not allowed to talk about what we did.

[tired epoch]

same lol

[maiden isle]

Man I live in Russia 💀

[tired epoch]

but apparently there are more invites

[maiden isle]

Lol

Sad u get no rewards for playtesting at home 🙏

[kind snow]

Good luck getting invited though

Probably all going to fucking bots

i cannot confirm or deny if im in labs. but i will always have your best interests at heart

me too 😔

[tired epoch]

i believe ur nda lets you say youre in it, just not to discuss it

[kind snow]

@maiden isle dms

[maiden isle]

It doesn't allow mentioning battlefield labs, too

Because I'm also in another playtest from EA and it says the same thing basically

[restive robin]

don't wory about labs guys. its 2 hours of bug reporting. fingers crossed for release

[maiden isle]

😭

[tired epoch]

you may disclose the existence of the Pre-Release Feedback Program and that you are a member of the Pre-Release Feedback Program.

[maiden isle]

Oh damn

[lusty wyvern]

Saw some footage of the Badlands Map in Rush and interestingly I saw that it was 50v50

Might had been Portal

Good then I can not hide that I'm battlefield labs playtester now 😭

It will be at 3 am for me tho

So it's gonna be a lil bit of a challenge to get into the playtest but ye

That was just some text added to a screen afterwards. Not sure if its real or not

[tame geyser]

Base game price is high tho

[kind snow]

Of what game ?

[fathom summit]

1 month to go

[tame geyser]

I like bf6, but the small maps scare me

I like bf4 maps

[lucid mist]

you'll never guess what bf4 had

small medium and large maps

just like this game

[fathom summit]

bf4 launch maps were pretty mid as well tbh

bf3 had better launch maps imo

[brazen gale]

What’s your time zone and how long is the test?

[tame geyser]

Any place where the bf6 maps are rumoured or have top views?

[lucid mist]

reddit

[quick fable]

HI

[dim bramble]

hello

[tame geyser]

Hai

[spare socket]

Ok so I have time now but

The story behind 2042 vs bf6 development cycle, management, and core systems (and how they came to be) is a lot more complicated than what it seems

Are you aware of said complications?

If not I wouldn't mind detailing them it's a neat lil story about both games dev cycles, management, and direction (yes I am a massive nerd )

[lucid mist]

yeah no its not that deep

bf2042 was going to be a battle royal and about 40-60 percent into development they got told by higherups they wanted regular battlefield now. They essentially had only a year of development time to build the game from the ground up

[spare socket]

It's a lot deeper than that tbh

I mean that's the surface level

[lucid mist]

if I wanted someone to explain the bf2042 development situation in an interesting and entertaining way I'd watch big boss do it

I don't think an in depth essay is necessary but we'll see what the guy says

[spare socket]

I can send a video on the topic. I just read news articles

I've seen like one video summarize a bunch of articles

Alternatively I can just make bullet points

[lucid mist]

battlefailed 2042 is my favorite video about the failure of 2042

[spare socket]

It doesn't really cover the why behind its failures tho

they're clearly present in the end product

but still

[lucid mist]

you seen the video?

[spare socket]

I've read articles

[lucid mist]

I'm asking if you've seen the video I'm referring to

[slow horizon]

i have, by the voice over guy

[lucid mist]

if you haven't seen it I don't know why you're assuming it dosen't talk about why the development was so horribly managed

[spare socket]

https://youtu.be/2MKtgP7cHEk?si=7QmumscpPzEnuh8C

This is what I'm talking about it's a summary of various development cycle news articles

[lucid mist]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0lXNq2jrG8

this is the vid I'm referring to

[spare socket]

I made a few bullet points that the video covers topics on earlier

[spare socket]

ah

I honestly have a clear understanding on the fundamental issues with 2042 I didn't reallly need a video for that

My main thing I didn't understand was why

Hence news

[dim bramble]

Playing BF2042 gives me the same feeling as the call of the void

[spare socket]

the map design for the launch maps is still quite bad arguably some of the worst in the franchise, the recoil and accuracy are way too easy to control and are needed to be simplified in order for the map design for the huge maps to work, the movement is very adhd esque and not like other battlefields in how it prioritizes speed over thoughtful gameplay, the specialist system is... ehhhh, the weapon balance with the plus system is kinda dog water, the plus system makes some of the sandbox beyond imbalanced, the destruction is arguably the worst in the series for a while (excluding f2p titles and such), etc

[kind snow]

Eh really ? 2042 is nothing like call of duty the way you play is wayy different what reminds you of cod ? The fast ttk ?

[spare socket]

they added more maps that are quite solid, the map changes are there, the addition of classes didn't really change the fundamental design philosophy of the original game, the movement is... something, and they did fix the performance issues

[maiden isle]

I've tried Warzone once and it absolutely doesn't feel like bf2042

[gentle moss]

Any character customization?

[maiden isle]

Not even close

[maiden isle]

Idk when

[dim bramble]

I don't mean call of duty. call of the void is when you have a momentary suicide impulse

[spare socket]

2042 is its own thing but I would not say it embodies the fundamentals of what it means to be a battlefield game at its core

[lucid mist]

because it wasn't developed like one

[dim bramble]

I better turn it off for tonight

[spare socket]

It was by all accounts originally intended to be a bf game, transistioned into a br, transistioned to a hero shooter, and transistioned again into an extraction shooter.

These elements were frankensteined into the game we have now

[knotty grotto]

Better than delta force

[spare socket]

this is true

[maiden isle]

Can't say too much but it has the same length as the past one

[maiden isle]

I've never tried it and I don't think I want to lol

[lucid mist]

delta force is a mobile game

[maiden isle]

I've tried the Finals tho

[maiden isle]

Pc game and console game too

[lucid mist]

I'm put off by the AI in the finals

[knotty grotto]

Tried it once, never again. Campaing was garbage (controller settings didnt even work lmao) so i had crazy deadzone and hp was basically 2 shots and ur dead

[lucid mist]

dosen't matter. It's designed with mobile game philosophies

[maiden isle]

?

[knotty grotto]

Mp was as empty as 2042 on launch, they made the exact same mistakes

[maiden isle]

Damn

[lucid mist]

they use AI voice generators for the announcers and stuff. It feels really lazy for how much money they've made

[maiden isle]

Not gonna lie... as long as I don't hear any "ai" voice I don't really care

[lucid mist]

and they don't even use the AI in cool ways to have live commentary, they just generated a bunch of prerecorded lines

[knotty grotto]

They copied tarkov, had alot of similar ui elements like a soldier in the corner that displays your hp

[maiden isle]

For now I didn't

[maiden isle]

Damn

[knotty grotto]

So after 15 minutes strugling in campaign and 2 mp ai matches i just unistalled and went back to 2042

Couldnt even get out of the building u start on

Never had this issue with cod campaigns

[maiden isle]

I tried the finals because of destruction and I wanted to feel how people suffer play on the controller in the shooters

[spare socket]

ehhh they really haven't made a lot of money

[knotty grotto]

Finals

[spare socket]

and ai voice work akin to vader in fortnite is fine

[maiden isle]

Welllll

[spare socket]

as long as it's not extreme to the point of venturing into authentic emotional depth in story telling

[spare socket]

not relative to mainstream triple A games

[maiden isle]

Depends on the game's budget

If it was maybe 10 or 20 millions or smth

[knotty grotto]

Meanwhile im playing expedition 33 and boi i havent played turn based rpg’s like this before on this level of quality, its amazing

[kind snow]

I mean most of the time they said the players name so its not like they can just reocrd every single players name as soon as they make a account

[maiden isle]

I hate RPGs so I don't think I'm gonna try this one

[spare socket]

Persona, shin megami tensei, and metaphor come to mind to me

[knotty grotto]

I had to after seeing everything, and i dont regret it

[knotty grotto]

Never played any of em

[spare socket]

sea of stars and baldurs gate 3 are also goated

[bleak forge]

I tried playing The Outer Worlds for the 2nd time.... NOPE, returned again LOL

[spare socket]

chrono trigger and final fantasy 7 too

[maiden isle]

Idk why I hate RPGs but I just do and I feel like I'm a minority 😭

[spare socket]

they're classics in the turn based rpg format

[maiden isle]

Like literally every rpg is very very boring no matter what kind of rpg

[spare socket]

rpg is a very very very loose term. It can range from pokemon to elden ring

[knotty grotto]

Wasnt into turn based rpg’s before this

[bleak forge]

then it's a YOU issue. YOU should work on that

[knotty grotto]

E33 was basically my entry to this genre lol

[spare socket]

not really people have preferences but

[spare socket]

what rpg have you played

[worn marten]

it's such a broad spectrum of games that fit into the category that it probably doesn't help

[bleak forge]

Just play Baulder's Gate 3. If you still don't like RPG's then seek medical help or get off the anti-depressants.

[maiden isle]

Baldur's Gate 3, Avowed, AC Shadows and all this stuff

Hated every one of them

[knotty grotto]

My condolences

[spare socket]

did you play:
cyberpunk 2077, darksouls, the persona games, baldur gate 3, diablo 1 or 2, disco elysium, borderlands 2/3, mass effect, etc

[narrow fern]

that hammer should NOT be able to take down buildings like that

[maiden isle]

Cyberpunk is meh

[bleak forge]

oooh yes, Mass Effect and CP2077

[spare socket]

I generally don't like assassins creed games

[worn marten]

add arx fatalis, morrowind and prey to that

[maiden isle]

The only rpg game for me that is just meh and not bad

[knotty grotto]

Skyrim, fallout

[spare socket]

avowed is uhhh something

[maiden isle]

Definitely

[worn marten]

I can side with you on some front though. Lots of the 'core' rpg systems just don't gel well with me either

[bleak forge]

Avowed just looks like New World.

[knotty grotto]

It made a concordilion dollars

[maiden isle]

Not really, some people played it

[spare socket]

the older elder scrolls and fall out games are great but idk man I feel like skyrim, fall out 3 and fall out 4 are games that need mods

[maiden isle]

Unlike with Concord

[worn marten]

had to completely shift perspective to find any amount of fun

[bleak forge]

.... just play World of Warcraft ....

[knotty grotto]

4 with mods is

[spare socket]

true but without it's like

ehhhhh

[knotty grotto]

I tried it vanilla and uh… ye it def needs mods

[spare socket]

did you play cyberpunk after the 2.2 update on very hard?

[maiden isle]

I could maybe pass Cyberpunk until the end but that's only because of references to my favorite games and characters there

[knotty grotto]

Skyrim with guns is fun tho

Witcher 3:

[spare socket]

I didn't mention it because I feel their feelings towards "disliking rpgs" would extend to that definetly

[maiden isle]

Man I'm a casual player who couldn't beat Dying light 2 boss for around 4 hours on the easiest game mode

[spare socket]

Ah ic that's fair then

[knotty grotto]

Ye witcher 3 def has some stuff to it

[spare socket]

I feel cyberpunk on very hard turns the game into a stealth shooter

[knotty grotto]

If i didnt lose my save i would also say cp77 was good

[spare socket]

until you make a build that makes you godly

[maiden isle]

After the new patch I dropped cyberpunk

Too many bugs now

[spare socket]

Tbh I just didn't play the game until the 2.2 update

[spare socket]

?

[maiden isle]

The game feels like it's 1.0 update

[knotty grotto]

I played when 2.2 was live

[spare socket]

wild

[maiden isle]

The game crashes after 5 mins and stuff like that

[willow lance]

Delta Force’s campaign isn’t meant to be similar to CoD. It’s literally most DF aspect of new DF. It’s more tactical and less run and gun similar to old Ghost Recon, Delta Force, Rainbow Six campaigns

[spare socket]

huh ig I never ran into any issues idk why

[knotty grotto]

But they need something for the save system, its to ez to overwrite your save

[maiden isle]

I saw some people arguing about it on Reddit, so I'm not the only one

[spare socket]

🤷‍♂️

[knotty grotto]

O ye crashed a few times for me to

[spare socket]

Idk I just felt I enjoyed one of the best stories, assortment of characters, and general rpgs/stealth mechanics in an open world in gaming with cyberpunk

[maiden isle]

Maybe when I get a new GPU something is gonna change idk

[spare socket]

Imma be real I like gta but the gameplay in GTA is so mediocre

[knotty grotto]

Randomly, idk why but luckily i saved frequently, before i overwrote a new playthrough on my almost done one

[spare socket]

the combat, enemy variety, and level design of GTA is not its strong suit. It's the world and story

[maiden isle]

GTA is also a bad game for me 😭

[spare socket]

hell this even extends to red dead 2

[spare socket]

yeah you probably have a very tailored preference tbh. Idk if you would even like games like doom eternal or halo on higher difficulties

[knotty grotto]

Avowed def a linear, hard right story game

[maiden isle]

I tried doom eternal

[spare socket]

Like doom eternal on nightmare is peak game design

[knotty grotto]

The last game u can hear mick shred

[spare socket]

the master levels are addictive

[maiden isle]

Hard as hell but gets boring too fast so I dropped it

[spare socket]

What difficulty did you play on I'm curious?

[maiden isle]

Normal one

[spare socket]

ic

you're just a different audience and that's fine

[maiden isle]

Idk my taste in games is weird

[knotty grotto]

Bfg multiplication

[spare socket]

I don't think it invalidates your opinions tbh. You just have your own preferences/tastes.

They definetly don't align with the general norms but that again doesn't invalidate them for you

[maiden isle]

Valve games are peak though

I think I like them because they managed to make them loveable by literally anyone

I don't think I've seen someone who hates their games like Portal 2 or Half life 2

Is it true you can pay to complete tiers in the battlepass for 2042 for the bf6 cosmetics?

[bleak forge]

no

[viscid crypt]

i have bad emotions about bf6 and hacker, if you see whats going on in bf2042.....

[rocky granite]

Sorry to hear that

Bf6 will be the highest selling bf of all time

[sharp sigil]

Which honestly gives more reason for cheaters to wants to ruin it lol

[tawny maple]

BF2042 honestly overhated, BF6 will be so good

[sharp sigil]

The number of cheaters they banned and stopped in the beta gives me faith though. If those numbers are true lol

[rocky granite]

Thrust vectoring added to jets per JackFrags

[shrewd abyss]

Delta force feels way faster than BF2042

[kind snow]

Yes

[tame mortar]

I dont know about overhated, the game was terrible on launch and mid right now

[vast tusk]

Hey will there be a mode where we can like practice planes, tanks, weapons etc.?

[kind snow]

Yes

[sharp sigil]

A dedicated test range like in bf4 would be awesome

[kind snow]

I hope it’s like 2042 not gonna lie, since leveling up vehicles is terrible

[sharp sigil]

What is it like in 2042? I uninstalled that game a while ago haha

[spare socket]

I think it recieves the appropriate amount considering the development cycle of that game

[spare socket]

The game is much better than it was at launch:
map improvements (though many maps have fundamental design problems)
new maps that are pretty good
New weapons, the amount at launch was laughable
Classes system implemented. At launch any specialist could equip any gadget.
Performance drastically improved

[sharp sigil]

Launch ruined it for me. I never went back

I have no interest in going back

Thats good for the people still playing though

[spare socket]

The issue is the core design elements of the game like:
-movement
-plus system (which leads to some notable weapon imbalance)
-Map design of the launch maps at their core (wayyy too big)
-call in system to some degrees
-recoil and accuracy (can't be changed due to the VERY big launch maps
-minimal destruction compared to prior titles (can't be changed due to engine elements and the foundation)
-specialists (some of their gadgets while neat could've just been their own thing and some specialists feel kinda redundant while others too strong)

[spare socket]

I didn't even play the launch. Never bought the game at full price. The beta was horrendous and it alone convinced me to read into the production of the game and not buy it. I got the game like 2 weeks ago for 3 dollars to complete the pass and have generally felt the underlying design elements of the game due to the game's production cycle being literal hell and lacking any real leadership/direction

[kind snow]

You make a lobby with bots only called solo mode you get full weapon and car xp but nothing else

[dreamy berry]

i bought it recently on a sale for 2€ and i already clocked 150 hours

its fun for sure. already did mastery on some weapons and specialists and will max out the free battlepass

but i find bf4 was a lot better in multiple aspects and i hope bf6 will go in the same direction more maps more guns and stuff

31 days to go :

[glacial tinsel]

Not my proudest moment but just spent £18 + £9 in my psn wallet to finish the battle pass

I already grinded 36 hours and really didn’t have the motivation to grind another 25-30 hours on a game that is just a big down grade from BF6 after playing that

IM SOO HYPED RN

[kind snow]

No your not ...

[red kiln]

Wdym

Im hyped

Soo hyped that im playing 2042 and i hate that game

[kind snow]

Lol if you hate 42 6 wont change much

[red kiln]

Dude

[solar bluff]

It appears call of duty is walking back skins being transferable to the next game. And the reason was a lot of people hated the unrealistic skins like TMNT. Beavis and Butthead, American dad and so on.

I will say I definitely don’t want things in battlefield that are unrealistic and don’t fit . So that’s why if they ever bring cat ears to the game, they have to be camo. This is my petition for camo cat ears to be unlockable free of charge in game.

[kind snow]

Well im guessing you havent seen the full game yet

[red kiln]

I played 6 beta for 80 hours, it cant go wrong

I crave mooooreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[opaque cypress]

The beta was incredibly fun. I can’t wait either

[red kiln]

Give me moooooreeeeeew bf6

[kind snow]

Beta didnt even have half of the stuff in the full game

You will find out the hard way i guess

[red kiln]

Yeah thats the best part

[opaque cypress]

yeah that’s the best part

and it was still so fun

[red kiln]

Its going to be a great game

[opaque cypress]

my head still tells me to be cautious cause it’s ea

but my heart is very hopeful and wants to play again

[kind snow]

Just go look up some gameplay

[opaque cypress]

of what

[mint sandal]

I just ate a burrito and i genuinely feel ill

[kind snow]

the game

[opaque cypress]

I have

I’ve watched it since I can’t play it anymore

Since I’ve played it a lot during the beta. And surprise, had fun.

[red kiln]

I dont want to see the leaked spoilers

I want all to be a surprise

[opaque cypress]

me neither

[red kiln]

A good one i hope

[opaque cypress]

I spoiled myself by watching more and more of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 before it came out

So I don’t wanna spoil myself again

[red kiln]

Me waiting for gow Ragnarok to get on steam

Dident event played the game bcs i watched it all on yt 😭

[opaque cypress]

I can’t even be hopeful for that since I’m on xbox

[red kiln]

Xbox rog ally

[opaque cypress]

don’t got it

[red kiln]

If the next gen xbox runs windows and its afordable ps its cooked

Like all their exclusives will be played on the green machine via steam

[opaque cypress]

yeah I heard itll have the steam store

Still..

Idk

[whole trail]

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1A254oobZ4/?mibextid=wwXIfr

[proud wigeon]

finally pre ordered Battlefield 6

[opaque cypress]

ain’t it in the top 20 of most preordered games on steam

[proud wigeon]

-10% with EApp play 60 buck it's nice

[civic scarab]

Probably and if I’m thinking about it right, it’s too on both editions.
If they combined both numbers I wonder where it would sit.

[kind snow]

Steam better though id pay 150$ aslong as its on steam

[opaque cypress]

so much for “no preorders” after we got to play the beta

still haven’t decided if I want the phantom or standard edition yet

[kind snow]

No pre orders is a stupid movment anyway lmao, dont tell people what to do with there own money

[proud wigeon]

@kind snow i have all Battlefield on EA app so i keep like this

[civic scarab]

If you do get phantom, check to see if EA play might decrease the overall price. Only a few dollars but profits a profit nonetheless

[opaque cypress]

the argument that “it’s ruining the industry” is logical. But yeah, no one’s gonna tell me to not buy a game so I can play it as soon as possible

[civic scarab]

Especially in the fps space. I’m gonna preorder because I don’t wanna play cod for the 5th year in a row

[opaque cypress]

Especially since we already got to play the game and it was fun with minimal issues

[kind snow]

@civic scarab is the tier skip, and phantom xp boost set temporary ?

[civic scarab]

No, only the pac skin

[opaque cypress]

The biggest bug I noticed in my beta experience was random and rare corpse launches

[kind snow]

Pac skin ?

[civic scarab]

Graveyard pack. It’s a nod to bf4 character pac

[proud wigeon]

for me EA app it's the Battlefields Launcher 😋

[opaque cypress]

as in you can only get the pac skin by preordering. Which is a temporary time

But I imagine that’s not what you meant

[civic scarab]

Yes

[kind snow]

I didnt mean like that, i meant will the tier skips last for every battle pass ?

[civic scarab]

Oooh
Yeah I’m not sure

I’m pretty sure it stays until you get on because I think 2042 did something like that

[kind snow]

So a 1 time thing ?

Im guessing the xp boost set is the same then

[opaque cypress]

That’s how I interpreted it. Since that’s what’s most common for the industry

[white moss]

They should keep that

[opaque cypress]

I agree

[white moss]

I call it the yeet death

[red kiln]

Steam>

[tight prism]

On Xbox EA Play does do a $10 discount on it, at least I imagine that is why that is applied. Included with Game Pass Ultimate.

[red kiln]

Hot take: playing campaing before online enhances the battlefield experience, playing online first degrades it

[proud wigeon]

@tight prism yes EA Play is included on my game pass subscription (not ultimate)

[tight prism]

Really? It is on standard too?

[proud wigeon]

@tight prism i bought Game pass subscription for 1 buck (14 days) and i have 10% on EA app

[cold panther]

why no server for tactical conquest in bf 5?

only for strategic conquest

it doesnt make any sense

[tight prism]

The $1 promo used to be for Ultimate though. Are you sure it was a standard trial?

[cold panther]

both modes used to have server full of players

[proud wigeon]

@tight prism oh i am checking

@tight prism nop it's regular game pass because i can update for ultimate

[tight prism]

Huh. Fair enough.

[proud wigeon]

i am on PC

[hallow hound]

Are we getting proximity chat? Remember the first few months of battle bit? Would be awesome if so

[runic venture]

a month before release? most definitely

[kind snow]

I hope not

[rustic ingot]

Yes cannot wait to hear 5 enemy players blasting Fetty Wap at ear bleed levels

[forest jewel]

what?

how?

[slow horizon]

looking for engineer lis friends from eu, dm

[proud wigeon]

@forest jewel Yes, EA Play membership is included with PC Game Pass or Ultimate at no additional cost.

[forest jewel]

oh, PC Game Pass makes sense.

[hexed moth]

I’ve pre-ordered the phantom edition. Do I need to buy anything like this battle pass thing to play online? Or game pass?
I’m ps5 and got the premium online account. Is that all I need.

[white moss]

You also need ps+. It's why I'm getting it on PC. So I don't have to pay for online. Plus it will probably look and run better

[shrewd swallow]

Does bf6 have FPV drones?

[hexed moth]

Yes, got that.. think I’m all set then.

[hexed moth]

I only use Mac’s 🙁 …. Play on consoles

[white moss]

The battlepass thing is optional. Gets you cosmetics, XP boosters, and I think battle coins or whatever you call it. The game premium currency to spend on short cut packs or cosmetics. Don't think they sell XP boosters in the store as stand alone. The phantom edition does give you one free battle pass though with 25 tier skip.

Don't bother with the short cut packs. The only time they were worth it was in battlefield 3 for the air shortcut pack for those flares

[mint sandal]

That and the vehicle shortcut kit in bf4 because the active protection system on tanks, boats and apc's was op

[white moss]

Didn't know about that one. I just knew you got the flares way early in 4 unlike 3 for air vehicles

[normal depot]

😆 😆

[chilly shore]

shotcut packs personally are a waste of money

it really eliminates the thrill of unlocking new things

but I could care less if you buy the shortcut packs, do what you do with your eddies

I guess it's up to you if you're willing to drop a few on shortcuts or just play the game and unlock the things you wanna unlock while also learning the mechanics of the game

in my experience, you probably get the joys of earning things

[light remnant]

some people have jobs

[chilly shore]

fair enough although if you got free time, take the time

on an unrelated note: imagine a Battlefield 6 clan that centers around the sledgehammer

"The Council of sledge"

or the Church of the Sledgehammer

[south prairie]

Why tf does a sledgehammer bring a whole building down 💀 🤡

[livid kite]

Looks like someone's never worked construction

[south prairie]

why does an LMG shooting bring a whole building down. Its too much and way too dramatic

[livid kite]

Looks like someone's never used a gun

[south prairie]

looks like someones never played a balanced video game. There's already so many explosives that bring buildings down. some small explosives like 1 c4, and weapons shouldnt be this powerful

[frozen thorn]

3 bullets to the head? Nah walk it off, still got 5 health left.

[livid kite]

Back in my day, we used to send kids off to school with five rounds in their skull
The youths these days can't even handle one; so soft

[south prairie]

sledgehammer makes 4 tiny dents, then it goes from 0 to 100, and disintegrates a building

can we even make holes like in the trailer. if it just skips that and blows everything up?

[frozen thorn]

Only issue I have with the destruction is that it bring down every wall above it, so blowing up part of the bottom floor brings down the entire siding

[south prairie]

i just realized. theres no point in using ladders. they put you out in the open, too slow to climb up, and theyre useless for flanking enemies. when you can just blow up the building with a sledgehammer

[frozen thorn]

Gameplay reasons tbh. If they took away our Rico Rodriguez parachutes for not being realistic, people would flip shit

[south prairie]

sure but why not make it 4 dents --> then a person sized hole

[livid kite]

Can we replace the sledge with a sawzall?

[sleek path]

Why why why is this game releasing in October, DROP IT NOW

[south prairie]

can we add octo camo and let players hunt and eat snakes, to become snake eaters

[livid kite]

The game needs seven hours worth of cutscenes
In multiplayer

[south prairie]

everytime I kill an enemy in multiplayer, I need a brand new unique cutscene with 30 minutes of dialog and then another 20 minutes of a codex talk

[frozen thorn]

Idk, if theres a building locked down with enemies, and you and squad use a ladder to get into the top floor and hit them from 2 sides that would be a good use of it imo. If your team had a building secured the last place/thing youd expect is enemy players with shotguns kicking in your backside from the floor above you

[fresh snow]

Avid cyberpunk player right here

[south prairie]

but do you expect rando players to ever be that smart and coordinated?

[chilly shore]

sadly I didn't play the game and only watched the animes, I think it might've rubbed off on me

[south prairie]

if DICE doesnt do this. theyre the worst game developers of all time. -10/10 IGN

[frozen thorn]

Yes

[fresh snow]

Get it, genuinely GOTY after all of its updates

[livid kite]

I need every player model to respond to a player's callout with the callout

Enemy spotted!
"Enemy... spotted?" x32

All at the same time

[chilly shore]

Too expensive, and GPU weak at the moment, but damn CbP got a huge comeback despite its rough launch

and Edgerunner is getting a season 2

[fresh snow]

What’s ur GPU?

[frozen thorn]

Oh neat, gonna order more Prozac

[chilly shore]

sadly it's an integrated one, it's probably the same GPU I used to run Battlefield 6 during the open beta

[frozen thorn]

Graphics processing unit

[south prairie]

If DICE, DOESN'T ADD, a high resolution scan of Stefanie Joosten's feet into the game, and let me smell it in real life. Then BF6 sucks. They need to be visionaries of there in Stockholm

Think of the bigger picture. EA can sell this, and they get more money for content.

[fresh snow]

🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🔥 🔥

[frozen thorn]

Feet pics dog tags

[fresh snow]

If it can run BF6 it can surely run cyberpunk on low

[chilly shore]

once I buy a proper GPU, my intergrated GPU can finally rest

[chilly shore]

I have to tinker with the settings several times and do Luna Nova witch magic or some shit to get it running well enough for me to get into a proper gunfight

but my Integrated Graphics have served me well so far

[livid kite]

I'm starting to realize how outdated my PC is getting... even though it's only five years old... granted, the CPU is from 2018
i9-9900k and RTX 3080 10 Gb

[crimson bronze]

I know I’m thinking a bit far ahead but what is Dice gonna do for the era/setting of the Battlefield game after this one? It seems like they’ll just kinda have to repeat eras like CoD unless they do a super futuristic setting

[livid kite]

SPACE BATTLE!

no.. wait.. STAR TREK!!!

[frozen thorn]

I have a shitty laptop GPU and it ran BF6 like a dream. I also played Cyberpunk on ultra at 45 fps

[livid kite]

UFP vs. Terran Empire

[tight prism]

Your gpu is fine

[chilly shore]

Personally, I'll try getting GPU that works well enough, I don't give a damn about high graphics, I wanna kick ass for more than 40 frames

[quiet plover]

I love how putting a no saturation filter on bf6 makes the game look like the final scene of cod 4

[sleek path]

You need guidance and therapy

[bleak forge]

I played Battlefield 6 on a wireless Logitech MX vertical mouse along with a Logitech MX Bluetooth keyboard.

#BoomHeadshot

[molten halo]

Hey question is there a "battlefield universe" like a linear lore game to game?

Like will bf6 bridge 4 to 2042?

[frozen thorn]

Maybe

[molten halo]

Like obviously that dude from 4 was in 2042

And the other dude from 4 is a preorder skin for 6

[frozen thorn]

Theres gonna be a campaign reveal event at the Tokyo Game Show in 2 weeks

[molten halo]

Praying they make a canon timeline happen

[frozen thorn]

Gonna be hard building up to 2042 canonically since the world is in disarray yet the specialist seem to think its an opportunity to have fun

[molten halo]

Also praying 6 has gunships

[frozen thorn]

I think I saw a shallow puddle on Empire State, I think theres hope for naval combat after all

[molten halo]

Hey blackwater thought Iraq was a reason to have fun

[warm barn]

The full game launches in 30 days….
I feel like a junkie waiting for my fix

[frozen thorn]

Retcon all the specialist in 2042 into being deranged sociopaths who enjoy killing, would at least make it interesting

[ember steeple]

Isn't that literally what they are doing?

Starting with 6?

Battlefield Bulletin (@BFBulletin)

DICE Lead Producer David Sirland denies that what makes vehicles vulnerable is the "open weapons" setting, but rather a "balance issue wholesale" because of a vast arsenal of weapons (ATs and AAs) that makes infantry so effective against vehicles... and they're actively working on this #Battlefield6.

"We dont want people complaining about nerfs, so we'll farm fake points from the community by giving them buffs over time instead of getting it right the first time"

[molten halo]

Bleats me

Also I knew a dude from blackwater we had a really good 100 kill tanks run in bf4 while talking about things he did overseas

That was a very long time ago

[spare socket]

How on earth would open weapons hurt vehicles lol

It's a mixture of the map design and the strength of the engineer's gadgets+perks at handling them

having a launch and a motion sensor mine decimates most tanks

And aerial vehicles are the least maneuverable they've ever been in the franchise

[slow horizon]

anyone lis friends bf2042

lis?

[tight prism]

Ah yes, quite the #battlefield-2042 question you already asked.

I dont think youve seen the jet drifting vids

I might need to play around with the settings a bit tbf

So i'll see later ig. But they felt kinda clunky.
