battlefield-6

[willow lance]

Nah, we don't need elites anyways, skins will probably have tiers like 2042 instead

[lusty wyvern]

Matter of fact weren't the Coyote Squad character seen in the Reveal Trailer which only had Campaign footage

I am pretty sure the MP Soldiers we play as are actually Campaign characters/NPCs

[spare socket]

Pax is a private military composed of Ex nato soldiers that didn't belong to the U.S (the U.S makes up 2/3rds of Nato's budget/staff) and soldiers from countries that back PAX financially.

It's basically what if the U.S army didn't belong to one country.

The U.S already has all its weapons, carriers, aircraft, tanks, etc privately made

[lusty wyvern]

Yeah I am pretty sure I saw them in the background in the Reveal Trailer

[willow lance]

That's also something I dislike tbh, BFV gave us lots of customization options which later games removed

[white moss]

Is it October 10th yet?

[spare socket]

straight up PAX is literally what if the soldiers behind a force akin to the U.S army was funded by and from multiple countries

[willow lance]

I don't want to play as some campaign character in MP tbh, I would rather have the option to choose my character's face and gender

[white moss]

Lot of people are upset about that. I couldn't say myself cause I never played it

[lusty wyvern]

I mean we know that the MP characters has names

[thorn sequoia]

Bro going through withdraws

[white moss]

The beta was good

[thorn sequoia]

The helicopter was terrible to fly ngl

[willow lance]

In BFV you can choose your character's gender, face, outfits, face paint etc. Not only that skins aren't class locked or bundle locked so you can mix and match different parts too.

In 2042 you could change headgear and body armor only

[lusty wyvern]

Actually what I think is gonna happen in the Campaign is that either the NATO or Pax Armata (probably Pax) MP characters are gonna switch sides at some point in the Campaign because in the Reveal Trailer there seemed to be a stand-off between NATO and Pax inside a building and it's usually doing a stand-off it's revealed that one side is getting played and so they worked together

[spare socket]

I kinda feel sad about 5 because other than a few things I think it could've been a peak game. My only issues are:
-the tanks are way too strong in 5 imo. Imo the strongest tanks in the entire franchise.
-I only really felt 5 of the maps in bf5 were actually good. The rest were mediocre/serviceable to bad.
-The movement while great had some abusable elements/glitches that were really stupid like breakdancing

[tight needle]

They may pull a switcharoo on us.

Isn't Pax led by Blackwell from BF3?

[lusty wyvern]

Blackwell???

[spare socket]

I love the class dynamics, customization, the sandbox is great, movement is great (excluding glitches), etc

[willow lance]

BFV had many issues, but character customization and skins isn't one of them

[tight needle]

Whatever bros name is, the Main character from Battlefield 3

[white moss]

2042 pulled that stunt in one of the short videos. So old now but just in case spoilers ||Irish was working with the Russians till he pac convinced him he was being played and switched sides at the last moment||

[spare socket]

I'm being serious if bf5's maps were consistently goated I think I would still play that game to this day

[lusty wyvern]

Henry Blackburn and in the BF2042 Codex it said he secretly headed one of the most powerful PMCs in the world in the 2020s so pausible

[white moss]

Bf5 should have gotten eastern front

We can change our heads in 6 right?

And where is my adaptive camo at

[tight needle]

Thank you :D

Honestly, now I have headcannon that Blackburn's PMC and the No Pats of the Exodus had a war, with Blackburn's forces using old early 2000's weapons and vehicles lmao

[stable remnant]

and then at the end they meet the bad company 2 guys, and then someone says avengers, assemble, we all clap and wait for the sequel

[lusty wyvern]

I mean Blackburn is the CEO of Arkangel Corp. in 2040s meaning that whatever happened, no one likely found out Blackburn is behind it if it indeed is the same universe and he is the secret leader of Pax

[white moss]

Now I want bad company 3 even more

[spare socket]

clap what

[eager kelp]

I would like to know what's the goal behind having the battle royale mode in BF6

[lusty wyvern]

So with the Iwo Jima Codex it seems like TPC took over Arkangel and kicked Blackburn out in 2051 (I think) so he definitely wants revenge

[white moss]

Money

[tight needle]

I mean, until the Phantom EE from 2042, it does drop a lot of hints for 6

[white moss]

And it's technically not in bf6 since it's free

[spare socket]

I think my most wanted battlefield game is a 2142 sequel

[white moss]

2242

[tight needle]

You got a prequel to it

Now I'm thinkin of BF 2242 lmao

[lusty wyvern]

NATO R&D Facility in California gets attacked by Pax. We also canonically play as PMCs in the BR mode (Note: PMCs not Pax)

[spare socket]

We don't talk about that

[lusty wyvern]

Definitely BF 2242 is the next step

[eager kelp]

not lore wise, like actually the goal of DICE and EA

[tight needle]

They did salvage 2042 imo

[spare socket]

That prequel was so bad that I never bought it until like 3 weeks ago for 3 bucks just for bf6 rewards. And I'm done playing it

[spare socket]

They frankensteined the design problems in 2042 into a functional game that is flawed at its core imo

[lusty wyvern]

In that case Money and 100m Playerbase (definitely pausible like Warzone was able to do it then BF6 BR definitely can)

[tight needle]

They did, thats true.

Still salvaged nonetheless

[eager kelp]

I see

[white moss]

Is BF3, 4, 2042, and 2142 all linked story wise?

[lusty wyvern]

Most BFs are in the same universe (Hardline is a in-universe TV show)

[tight needle]

I think so.

I mean, you got characters from 3 and 4 in 2042.

Irish, Hannah, Blackburn, Pac

[white moss]

Bad Company I know is separate

[lusty wyvern]

yes that is separate

[spare socket]

Like the map design for most maps, specialists, recoil/accuracy (due to the large maps the game needed easy to control recoil and accuracy stats), call in system, plus system (leads to a greande/ammo imbalance), lack of enough gadgets, destruction being the worst in the series for a long time, and movement are my main issues with 2042

post launch maps are mostly goated tho and the game is no longer a buggy mess

[white moss]

I only know that 2042 and 4 is connected

[willow lance]

1,5,3,4,2042,2142 are connected

[tight needle]

I like the call in system (its still broken, but its a cool concept)

I also like the plus system cause it lets you have 3 loadouts for one gun at any time :p

[spare socket]

being able to run a skar with 3 grenade attachments and an ammobox on Falk with a self heal is stupid
@tight needle

[lusty wyvern]

I feel like they could had easily made the AI Soldiers skins our classes and made the Specialists be a Hero Reinforcement or backup or whatever it was called from Battlefront 1 & 2 where we can play as Luke, Vader, etc

[willow lance]

They couldn't due to contractual obligations

[white moss]

I got a better idea. ||Battlefront 3||

[lusty wyvern]

Unfortunately

[willow lance]

Ultimate edition promised 4 specialists and 4 seasons, they would get into trouble if they removed specialists

[white moss]

And 4 passes

Bf6 we get one with phantom edition

[lusty wyvern]

Yeah yeah I know but they were definitely not gonna remove Specialists entirely so they could had revamped it into Hero Reinforcement

[spare socket]

the plus system is cool in concept. In practice it breaks the ammo and grenade economy and makes some weapons WAYYYY too flexible imo @tight needle

Throwing down an ammo box shouldn't give you:
an incendiary grenade, an anti vehicle nade, a smoke grenade, and another grenade of choice from the grenade options in the menu

Atop that a heal gun for yourself and allies

[lusty wyvern]

but yeah they couldn't otherwise they would get sued

[willow lance]

Yeah, that' why phantom isn't worth it imo 😂

[tight needle]

I usually play Angel.

ThAt wAs sOmEtHinG riGht?

I also usually run M5A3 with RDS, 2x scope, 6x scope, regular, cqc and high powered rounds.

For barrel, suppressor, long and short barrels

Underbarrel, I use a grip, Masterkey and a bipod.

[spare socket]

I highly recommend running falk with an ammo box.

the ammo box is the most broken thing in 2042 and people don't realize it

[wild flower]

Helicopter controls are bad.... I remember BF3 helicopter was awesome

[willow lance]

Lost technology, lost skill

[tight needle]

I run Angel with an ammo box.

I don't really like Falk tbf. Her stim gun ain't worth it imo

[spare socket]

Being able to just instantly get 2 smoke grenades alone makes falk WAYYY stronger than most specialists

[lusty wyvern]

The thing I hated about is that there was no Gunsmith like system in 2042 and was replaced by the Plus System. If it was Gunsmith and select the attachments for the Plus System then that would had been great

[wild flower]

also there was barely any loot, a lot of the fights happen with just pistols, or gray quality guns\

[spare socket]

I would agree that a plus system would be ok in a game with a point system

[wild flower]

and the ammo is also very limited

[spare socket]

but no point system+plus system is truly insane work.

[tight needle]

I main either Mackay, Irish, or Angel, I like to have InFinItE ammo pretty much

[spare socket]

Like who even needs ammo when you have multiple mags each of with ammo in them giving you more rounds.

[tight needle]

I do cause my accuracy is like 20% 😭

[willow lance]

This

[spare socket]

The ammo economy alone was screwed.

Not even considering the grenade economy

[willow lance]

That's why I only used Mackay and Zain

[spare socket]

the latter of which is even more broken imo

[spare socket]

I just feel the ammo box is just truly insanely stupid with grenade attachments. A single box just saying: oh yeah here's 4 grenades. Is insane

I think 2 smoke grenades easily get you across a map better than any mobility tool in the game

[willow lance]

Zain's airburst is the best GL tbh

[tight needle]

"Take this, I'll find more" - a man with too much ammo

[white moss]

So best way to go is standard and buying the standard battlepass?

[willow lance]

Probably

[spare socket]

I think zain is totally valid tho mind you. Being able to heal after a kill is kinda stupid

[white moss]

Gonna want that 25 tier skip. At which point I might as well just get phantom.

[tight needle]

Buying Phantom or not is your choice. If you think its a good investment of your cash than you can buy it.

If you don't feel that its worth it then you know, your choice

[wild flower]

yah regen hp should be slower

[willow lance]

That's why he's the best specialist imo, you don't need to rely on medics to heal you and you have an infinite GL

Airburst goes brrrr in CQC maps

[white moss]

Really I gotta see what the first pass gets me. That will probably determine my choice

[tight needle]

I still have PTSD from everyone spamming Lis when she first released

[spare socket]

I would say zain, falk+ammo box are the two best specialists in the game

I would put Lis on the list too but if you have a falk with ammo box ong cooldown rockets are not it.

The other 2 engineers are valid with an ammo box

[past jasper]

falk box is the best imo

[spare socket]

it's really nuts yeah

[white moss]

Bring back handing out armor with angel

[past jasper]

both as a self serving human perspecive and a teamplay perspective

[silent maple]

Put a Charlie Kirk skin in the game .

[willow lance]

Mackay is insane too, you just break map design, it doesn't exist for you 😂

[tight needle]

☠️

[white moss]

Ah oh

[wild flower]

and more rpg's cus there is a lot of vehicles

[spare socket]

fair but I found the instances of it being useful being rare.

Getting 2 smoke grenades every 10 seconds however

[past jasper]

by that we also have sundance

[spare socket]

Nobody can see me I am the mist

[winter atlas]

You can see mist

[spare socket]

No joke. Run this with an lmg with a suppressor and just SPRAY into the smoke as you traverse through it on some occasions

[past jasper]

eh

[spare socket]

depends on the map

[past jasper]

not perticularly useful imo

in 2042 i would just ntw

[tight needle]

I kinda wish they kept the hovercraft being able to speed up a building.

Ngl, that's PEAK battlefield and just silly (something Battlefield is a lot)

[spare socket]

Oh wait I forgot lmgs can't run nade attachments I'm tripping balls

[past jasper]

bf6 yeah

[spare socket]

I only played this game for like 3 weeks ngl and on that experience alone game feels very solved

[past jasper]

2042 have a lot of hilarious underbarrel attachment options
sadly a lot were botched from launch

never forget that they removed masterkey from sws10 (which was not that useful but was very funny)

[tight needle]

Didn't they remove the Masterkey for a bit?

[tight needle]

Its back btw

[past jasper]

is it?

last week i checked it wasnt there

[tight needle]

I think.

I can't be certain.

Idea:
bolt action shotgun

[past jasper]

either way, you are better off using 40mm HE as a shotgun anyways

yes this is a real sentence and a real strat, just dont get hit by the nade that bounced back and armed

[white moss]

Playing as dozer throwing down smoke grenades and then going to town is fun

[neon gyro]

tarkov has bolt shotty toz106

[past jasper]

oh wait masterkey is back on sws10 yay

[tight needle]

Imagine getting pwnd by a guy who's using a GL on a sniper and he gets killed by his own GL

[past jasper]

i have accidentally blasted myself with my own gl, multiple times

but also i put ubgl on anything that can have ubgl equipped

[spare socket]

It's kinda funny how the anti nade attachment+nade on falk+ammo box is almost as good as the engineers at handling tanks lol

[tight needle]

Ngl same.

Though also I've also blasted myself with my own grenades accidentally lmfao

[past jasper]

never forget launch ntw50, never forget what they took away from us

[white moss]

Or took away from angel

[spare socket]

the fact you could run a launcher at launch was crazy

ah yes an ammo box, launcher, 4 grenade attachments, and any specialists

[tight needle]

Wait you could put a GL on the AT rifle?
☠️

[past jasper]

no

[spare socket]

truly balanced

[past jasper]

but you could run ntw50 and a launcher, 5 shots out of ntw puts tanks at around 10-5 health which you can finish off with a launcher

[spare socket]

I was told gadgets could go to any specialist at launch. Is this true?

[white moss]

Isn't lynx the only AT rifle in 2042?

[tight needle]

Yep

[past jasper]

you only get one gadget, so its either launcher or box

[spare socket]

ah ic

[tight needle]

NTW50 and Lynx are both AT guns

[past jasper]

i used to run sundance, box, ntw

[white moss]

Lot of people I think play Sundance for the grenade

At least in redacted

[past jasper]

also never forget the sundance grenade options, you can have scatter, a tracking AT nade (you heard this right), and a emp nade

and you had 2 charges of nade

[white moss]

They really are a squirrel throwing nuts around

[past jasper]

im gonna miss the m44 in bf6

first pistol that i T1ed in 2042

[white moss]

Where does 6 take place after 4 or before it and same deal with 3

[past jasper]

6 is after 4 before 2042 iirc

[white moss]

2025?

[past jasper]

idk ask the lore people

[white moss]

Whoops I asked the mole people instead

[whole forge]

After 4, during 2027

[white moss]

I bet second season is Europe. Already getting California with first season and I think the BR and new york

[past jasper]

also lynx in 2042 is so bad

[whole forge]

As far as not specified for now, we think 6 is between 4 and 2042

[white moss]

Guess I should unlock the other AT rifle then

[past jasper]

also i feel the recoil animation in 2042 and in 6 beta was pretty ass, imo cod have better recoil animation

[white moss]

I think 4 was 2022 or something

[whole forge]

2020

[white moss]

No way there wasn't a global pandemic in it

[whole forge]

4 takes place during War of 2020

[past jasper]

ntw is now just for farming infantry, its a progression unlock

also try out the crossbow, its really good

[white moss]

I'll rock it when I'm rocking dozer to combat other dozers

[past jasper]

you cant pen the shield

[white moss]

Explosive round?

[past jasper]

does not exist on ntw, there is explosive bolt on crossbow thats pretty ass imo

[whole forge]

Dozer’s shield is just busted

It can even tank a tank shell direct impact and have the player alive

[white moss]

4 it was balance since it took a few hit to kill

Dozer shield must be made from vibranium

[spare socket]

While true most maps in 2042 just made dozer’s playstyle kinda bad in retrospect.

The only good ones are like redacted, stranded interior if you stick to C, and stuff like that

[whole forge]

The fact that you can also one hit melee AND have melee range with it is just insane

[past jasper]

i mean

[spare socket]

A shield that requires you to move up is meaningless if even 1 other person can get an alt angle on you

[past jasper]

with the maps and the player count dozer t1 was pretty much the most cbt out of all

[white moss]

Welp time for the Roman turtle formation

[whole forge]

I saw a Dozer straight up tank a bomb on Iwo Jima

[spare socket]

I’m aware of his capabilities. 2042’s map design and overall sandbox unfortunately don’t favor him

Wayyyyy too much access to explosives and incendiaries due to the nade and ammo box economy. Huge maps+easy to use guns at long ranges

[whole forge]

I can’t wait to delete 2042 from my PC man

[white moss]

How close are you bird

[whole forge]

41.3

[spare socket]

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

I’m at 41 so I stopped playing

[white moss]

50.5 for me

[spare socket]

Complete the missions each week and you’re done with the pass.

[spare socket]

This also assumes you don’t gain ANYMORE xp and your gains are only through missions btw. Just log in each week to do them (need to complete the weekly limited time one)

[spare socket]

You’re honestly far ahead enough I don’t even think you need to do the LTM one lol

[whole forge]

I hope Week 5 missions are easy

I did Week 4 missions in 3 games

[spare socket]

The only missions I struggled with were multi kills with explosives and incendiary damage.

I just didn’t do them

[white moss]

Good

[still island]

Does anyone know if there's plans on a campaign of some kind?

[white moss]

Yes it's confirmed

[still island]

Ah nice, thanks!

[white moss]

It's also confirmed specialists are coming back ||kidding||

[still island]

Haha you almost got me there

[whole forge]

Yes, in Tokyo Games Show they will showcase it

[white moss]

Speaking of Tokyo. Tokyo map

[whole forge]

The attendees on TGS will also have the chance to play a portion of it, alongside a new build which has maps that we haven’t publicly seen gameplay of it

[spare socket]

I'm just hopeful the campaign commits to 4 key things
1: good characters
2: good enemy variety (almost all cod/bf campaigns lack this and it's kinda boring)
3: good level design
4: a justification as to why any nation would leave NATO that makes sense and leads to an interesting conflict

[whole forge]

I hope the campaign is good but lets be real, Battlefield isn’t known for doing the best campaigns

[spare socket]

Imma be more real with you. I think cod campaigns are overrated. They have good characters but the level design, core narrative, themes, and enemy variety are generally kinda balls.

The characters are generally the elements that carry COD's campaigns the most

[still island]

Well bf 3 & 4 had a pretty decent campaign no?

[spare socket]

ehhhhhhhhh

Idk my standard for shooter campaigns/singleplayer is very different ig.

[idle kelp]

Bad company 2 bf3 bf4 bf1 all great campaigns.

[still island]

TRUE, bad company had some good stories

[whole forge]

The only teasers we have for the Campaign is the Reveal trailer and this clip https://x.com/battlefield/status/1950992465617625543?s=46

[spare socket]

halo 1-3, reach, and ODST, Bioshock 1 and 2, Borderlands 2, Almost all of the doom games (mechanically), The last of us 1, Prey, Half life 2, Wolfenstein, Spec ops the line (story wise)
Ultra kill (gameplay wise), Turbo over kill (gameplay wise), Metroid prime games, The metro games, Cyberpunk 2077, The resident evil games (1, 2+ remake, 3, 4+remake, 7, and village are all peak), Remnant 2 (gameplay and lore wise), Returnal (given this is a rogue like and including these tons of other games could be included too in the shooter market), The uncharted games, Titanfall 2, Trepang 2 (mechanically), Fear, Neon white (mechanically), Fallen aces, Post voids, Super hot 1 and 2, Stalker 2 (after its fixes), Black mesa, Mycopunk, Space marine 1 and 2, Robocop rogue city, Crysis 1-3, The outer worlds, Mass effect 1-2, Metal gear games, Splinter cell, Some of the GTA games, Red dead 1-2, and more I’m forgetting

[whole forge]

This post aswell https://x.com/battlefield/status/1948035690836447674?s=46

[spare socket]

I will say I'm happy they were at least fun and humorous. But they're not as good as peak shooter campaigns imo

[grave river]

same LO

[spare socket]

BF and COD never really pulled me in the shooter campaign department compared to other games dedicated to the premise.

[idle kelp]

Mention splinter cell yet no GRAW

[spare socket]

again more I'm forgetting. I could have kept listing to the point of the character limit if imma be real with you

[grave river]

BF6 to bridge into GTA 6

[idle kelp]

Or rainbow6 vegas 1+2 :)

[still island]

Well it depends on what you think is peak shooter campaigns

[spare socket]

I also don't remember graw too well. Wasn't the biggest fan.

Tbf I think splinter cell unlike metal gear is a bit dated

Metal gear had such innovation and aesthetic for its time that it kinda feels timeless.

[spare socket]

1: good level design
2: good enemy design/variety
3: good combat
4: good story
5: good characters
6: anything else that adds to it is nice (world, lore, builds, survival, etc) but are generally ancilliary to me and not required

I generally want a good mixture of those concepts

Cod only really ever got down the character department which... is the least important of those 5 to me

[white moss]

Bad Company games, hardline I think, and 3 had decent ones.

[still island]

Well then hopefully we got atleast 3-4 out of them if we're really lucky, i get a positive feeling about it according to the beta and trailer

[spare socket]

The one I want the absolute most is good enemy variety

I feel most shooters don't commit to this aspect that the gameplay gets kinda... repetitive and boring very fast

[still island]

Haven't played hardline tbh but the others i can agree on

Yeah that's a little typical fps games, they don't get that variety as other games, it's hard to shift gameplay in that sense imo but if the characters are good and the maps have immersion to it, then other things could be less relevant

[whole forge]

Hardline story was good because of how it was structured

[still island]

Might have to look it up atleast

[whole forge]

It basically played as a Crime TV Show

But ofcourse the game doesnt show any director props and stuff. The only way of knowing this is between each mission if you quit and restart the campaign it goes “Previously On Hardline”

[still island]

Ah, ofc

[whole forge]

There is also a WILD theory that the Police Captain’s actor in Hardline might be the President of USA in BF6

[still island]

So there might be a continuation

[boreal monolith]

Does ea play pro give you day 1 access? Buddy wants to try it out before committing

[tall zinc]

yes

[past jasper]

the price of pro is close to the game itself

nvm but 23 dollars to just try it out isnt really worth imo

[blazing peak]

Just buy the game and refund it if you dont like it

[past jasper]

if your buddy is on steam just do the 2 hour and if he doesnt like it just refund it

[spare socket]

I just don't understand why more shooter campaigns don't have more of a commitment to enemy variety.
Someone with an rpg to get you out of cover, someone with an lmg to suppress you, Someone with a sniper you might want to handle first, Someone with a ballistic shield trying to rush you out of cover, Someone in body armor+shotgun to rush you down, Combat medic: tries to revive enemies, Engineer: tries to set up turrets, Flame thrower enemies, Explosive drones, Disguised Civilians (you can't shoot any civilians obv so you need to wait for a reaction), Molotov throwers, etc

The best part is if all of these existed you could in theory add them into custom portal levels/games

[whole forge]

We know currently 6 is the continuation of 4 and prequel of 2042

[craggy tapir]

4 had a decent campaign but it felt unfinished

[past jasper]

im on ea play for like 7-8 years now because its like 30 cad for a year

i pay it to play the backlog of ea releases

[craggy tapir]

I honestly prefer the war stories style that 1 and V had. It captures the random soldier vibe that BF has better than the typical complex character-driven campaign

[spare socket]

I'm hopeful for that campaign reveal to show off a ton of enemy variety. Cuz if it had it, in theory, you could add those enemies into portal custom games

[past jasper]

pro gets all the game the highest edition on release, so unless you are someone that plays most of the release of ea it isnt worth

[spare socket]

I wasn't a fan of 5's stories but 1's were fantastic. The only real story I liked in 5 was the last tiger

[craggy tapir]

V's stories themselves weren't that great but the overall campaign structure was good

[spare socket]

They were also short and sweet not just with its characters and core narratives but also the levels were pretty compact and thought out for what they were (at least 1's)

[vapid linden]

So will the battle Royale be a separate f2p thing or part of the game?

[dark owl]

afaik is a f2p iteration

[craggy tapir]

I don't know if it's been confirmed but it's 100% going to be f2p. It's likely coming out a month or two after the game launches too

[past jasper]

idk, probably launch with the game

[vapid linden]

What is the monetization if no wacky skins?

[dark owl]

it seems devs are pushing it to be released along with the main game

[whole forge]

I hope the BR doesnt come out on release

[past jasper]

why not

[whole forge]

More grounded skins for characters and guns, Battlepass

[whole forge]

Let the main MP have its first updates and content/balancing first before adding BR

[craggy tapir]

Grounded skins, Battlepass, Weapon Charms, Weapon Camos, etc

[dark owl]

there'll be skins, but allegedly none of them will be led powered/blinking messes, more leaned towards grounded military skins

[past jasper]

main mp is managed by dice and br is managed by ripple effect im pretty sure, so whatever dev needs happens with br does not relate to the mp

[whole forge]

Yea its correct but I think on initial release the BR will use the MP balance

[tall zinc]

nobody knows

[past jasper]

nobody knows, and for the people that knows they cant say anything

[dark owl]

less than a month to go, we'll probably have more official info next week or so

[whole forge]

What I am trying to say is that let the main game breathe a bit first before adding the BR

[dark owl]

totally agree with this, should be the correct flow

main game first, BR after the main "honeymoon" phase

[whole forge]

Doing this also allows Ripple Effect devs to fine tune and balance even more stuff on BR according to the recent test they did

[spare socket]

I never really got into BR as a genre personally. To me they always felt like large, more casual, more random, less intricately designed arena shooters

Arena shooters having the consistent spawn rotations of key weapons on the map lead to dynamics where both teams of players compete on a smaller scale more tailored in design map space for said power weapons.

[dark owl]

I don't mind them, don't usually play BRs but I know it became a very popular genre, mainly among the younger generation

man I'm getting old

[spare socket]

I don't hate on anyone who likes them. I get the appeal. They're pretty fun from a hyper casual perspective. But they're not my thing

[dark owl]

same

[spare socket]

I just feel that arena shooters are exactly what I want out of BR

[whole forge]

Maybe they can even add one or two more features, maybe more content to it

[spare socket]

Competing over an energy sword spawn both teams are aware of while balancing the objective vs a BR giving a random legendary doesn't feel the same

obv it shouldn't but still I prefer the former

[craggy tapir]

Never really enjoyed BRs but I can see why people like them. I prefer stuff like Insurgency, Arc Raiders, and ofc BF

[spare socket]

I used to love comp shooters but lately have taken a back seat on them to enjoy more casual mp games and singleplayer games from varying genres.

They just ended up taking up wayyyy too much of my free time and the grind to max ranking comp mp games (shooters and fighters mostly) every season felt hollow in retrospect.

I wish I could honestly tell my younger self to not get involved with them as much as I was

It's like who cares about gm in OW, eternity in rivals, etc multiple seasons when the process itself in retrospect felt... not as fun as just playing the game casually with buds

And led to burnout. I get that experience works for some people but man it sure did not for me.

[dark owl]

I would do the same but my case was with mmorpgs

[stable remnant]

You're wrong. We wasted our time, together.

[spare socket]

oh lord. I never liked mmos. I like their combat design in arpgs tho like diablo

[dark owl]

I mean... I played Ragnarok online for 21 years

[spare socket]

see that's the sad part. I was wasting my time with randoms in a server for players pushing to max rank that I had loose relationships with compared to genuine friends I made in halo forge or irl

[dark owl]

that's more time than some of you have as age

[spare socket]

☠️ yeah

like brother I was top 10 in a flipping marvel card game (sometimes rank 1 even)

[thorn sequoia]

Idk about that anymore considering we don't even want that in battlefield and that genere is 12 years old

[spare socket]

I played that shizz for like 3 years and spent tons of money on it (the mechanics were cool but the quality of life, devs, and relationship I had with the game wasn't)

[dark owl]

I stopped playing bc the server died, if not I would be still playing this plague of a game

[thorn sequoia]

You mean the marvel snap game

[spare socket]

yes

I'm pretty well known in the discord server too lol. I earned a few thousand dollars when there were unofficial tournaments hosted by the community (there are official ones now but I quit by then and those don't offer cash prizes sadly)

[dark owl]

yeah absolutely no one asked for this, but they did it anyway

[craggy tapir]

I kinda wish they would've focused more on Gauntlet instead of BR. It sounds like a unique new gamemode that I could see taking off with proper support

[spare socket]

I agree. I also think if they cut the focus on BR and spent more time making unique enemy variety for the campaign they could have made a sorta endless mode that coulda been awesome

Atop that the enemy variety could be used for portal custom games and levels

I am giga coping that this BF game invests in actual enemy variety which... is a foreign concept to both COD and BF for some unknown reason to me

[craggy tapir]

Enemy Variety only exists in Tom Clancy Games

[spare socket]

well it exists in a lot of shooters tbh

[spare socket]

a lot of them

and that's just off the top of my head lol. There are most definetly more that I've played.

[thorn sequoia]

i rather stick to my flying jett then play warzone 2 millon.5

[craggy tapir]

I do agree that it'd be cool to have more enemy variety tho. It'd be neat to see enemies have all of the classes instead of all of them basically only having a weapon and a grenade

[spare socket]

@craggy tapir this would be pretty cool ngl

[dark owl]

same, never got into this genre

[spare socket]

Hell you could legit have vehicles like tanks in a bf campaign as enemies

you just need to work around them and engage them first by either killing their pilot before they board or sneak around to c-4 them or something

[crude sundial]

Man this game feels like it's so far away

[spare socket]

Given if bf were to implement a lot of these I think the game would need a stealth system for its campaign to make some encounters workable

[craggy tapir]

Imagine a section in a mission like the artic base in (OG MW2?) where the punishment for getting caught is having the entire base wake up including the tanks

[eternal nexus]

Black ops 7 beta looks so good

[spare socket]

real

[craggy tapir]

Bo7's beta is out?

[eternal nexus]

Leaked gameplay over on X

[spare socket]

I honestly don't even pay attention to cod anymore ngl☠️

[tiny shoal]

What’s COD

[spare socket]

I haven't paid attention to its multiplayer since MW 2009. I paid attention to zombies for a lil while after (mostly stopped after black ops 3)

[eternal nexus]

Bo7 wall running looks 🤌

[craggy tapir]

The last CoD I bought was WW2 and the last one I played was MW19.

[eternal nexus]

Until battlefield adds wall running or faster movement, game just can’t compete

[craggy tapir]

Both had good campaigns. They ruined the new MW story with 2 and 3 tho

[craggy tapir]

Least obvious rage bait:

[spare socket]

I tried 2019. Refunded it. The gunplay and movement changes were nice. But the map design was horrendous that it just turned me off.

The fact COD's main innovations in the MP department since mw 2009 were:
gun skin progression in black ops 1/2
gunplay in 2019

is wild

[eternal nexus]

2019 put 2042 in the grave

[spare socket]

the franchise went from new innovations every single entry constantly to no longer being the innovator of the industry

[craggy tapir]

Their main selling point has been Good graphics and Warzone since MW19

[spare socket]

yeah it's a bit sad.

I hated the era where they tried to just copy titanfall but do it worse

[craggy tapir]

2042 put 2042 in the grave

[spare socket]

I don't mind a futuristic COD mind you. They just don't innovate the sci fi shooter genre at all.

[eternal nexus]

cod did that

[craggy tapir]

And 6 just dug it back up

[past jasper]

not really, 2042 was fucked by covid dev time

[spare socket]

Imma be real with you rq. The person you are engaging with is someone I blocked so they are likely a baiter of sorts

[eternal nexus]

Cod came before battlefield. The inspiration for battlefield was cod..

[craggy tapir]

Oh Ik. They're one of the worst rage baiters I've ever seen

[thorn sequoia]

Battlefield is older than cod, but this is a good way to ragebait someone lmao

[past jasper]

2042 had pretty good lore (if you read the lore tabs) but the execution was pretty fucking bad for the game atmosphere

[craggy tapir]

Isn't BF a year older than CoD?

[thorn sequoia]

Yes

[eternal nexus]

Cod did that

[spare socket]

2042 was screwed by a variety of factors.
-poor directions pushed by executives: initially a BF game, then a BR, then a hero shooter, then an extraction shooter. The BR was canned since Apex legends was performing, EA didn't want to make another BR to compete with their current one. As such it opted to pursue new markets. It felt the extraction shooter market was ideal.
-the lead of the game’s design was the lead of candy crush mobile and this seems intentional to get a yes man to agree to executive decisions
-most of the veteran devs at DICE left because of the leadership changes, reductions in creative freedom, and some even from bf5.
-they did the first major engine update to frostbite since 2016 with most of the veteran dev team that understood the engine gone
-they only had 1 year and 3 months of post production because the game went through multiple pre production cycles due to direction changes
-covid made the production even worse and also resulted in the team leasing xbox one, ps4, ps5, and series x operating systems to be remotely streamed from their home computers for development and testing. This also led to multiple builds of the game occuring which had to be mashed together
-due to the rushed 1 year and 3 months of post production time devs from battlefront 2 and battlefield 5 were pulled in to rush development which ruined post launch for those games
-an executive unironically thought the game was doing well due to concept art.

In terms of game design:
-128 players led to a few issues.
-It led to large maps that lacked flow compared to prior entries.
-the worst destruction in the franchise so the game could run functionally
-the large map design led to easy to control recoil so that longer range gun fights could be functional
-horrendous performance at launch due to the issues laid out above
-poor weapon sandbox at launch due to the issues above
-plus system makes the ammo economy meaningless and underbarrel grenade launchers with an ammo box op
-specialists due to the hero shooter pivot

[eternal nexus]

Cod did that

[past jasper]

yeah, it was just a shitshow

[spare socket]

Covid was definitely a factor that's not deniable. But the core vision of the game was screwed by conception by executives

[past jasper]

like imo the premise of 2042 (lore wise) is pretty good, but the execution of the game was pretty bad

[eternal nexus]

It wasn’t covid, Warzone killed battlefield. Devs just gave up and came to play br

Cod did that…

[spare socket]

They literally 180d with their dev lead and main dev team being DICE LA for bf6 and vince zampella (core dice is still involved DICE LA just has multiple veterans in the industry right now that have been in in the industry since as far back as medal of honor allied assult and the first COD)

[eternal nexus]

[craggy tapir]

It's a pretty good link between 4's and 2142's stories. Not having a campaign destroyed a lot of the story possibilities though

[past jasper]

tbh its pretty impressive how they salvaged out a 2042

[spare socket]

It is a miraculous amount of frankensteining yeah

the core problems in design are still kinda there or lingering depending on the issue. But still the launch version was horrendous.

[past jasper]

it is terrible that all the lores are like 2-3 menus deep, the writing is really not bad but holy fuck finding it needs you to actually go try find it

[spare socket]

I really want a 2142 sequel bad that actually innovates the sci fi shooter genre again

[past jasper]

I just want titanfall3

[craggy tapir]

Taking a 5 second look at #battlefield-2042 shows how broken the game is lol

[daring willow]

is there more labs this weekend? I'm in but don't get any emails telling me when for some reason... just the questionaires after -_-

[spare socket]

The fact the last time BF tried a futuristic shooter and innovated the franchise with the titan mode and then it just... died

is sad

[spare socket]

Titanfall 3 was recently canned and the franchise is shelved likely forever.

The game was supposed to release late 2026 to early 2027. Instead 100 employees at respawn were laid off and another 300 at EA as a whole.

[past jasper]

:(

[spare socket]

Something something "share holders"

[cunning wedge]

Shareholders shouldn’t exist

[gleaming quiver]

titanfall 3? nah lets make another BR with skins, kids love that

[craggy tapir]

Game companies becoming publicly traded kinda ruined gaming. Every publicly traded company is forced to try to endlessly increase profit so any industry that relies on a dedicated community has to expand and generalize to get a larger audience

[spare socket]

another thing about canned projects that have had major development resources put into them is the fact you can essentially get tax cuts out of them

[past jasper]

yes

[spare socket]

"ah we spent x amount of money and share holders want more budget cuts"

fine let's just like fire a bunch of people, can a franchise, and get a tax deduction

problem solved

☠️

[willow lance]

Titanfall 3 was going to be an extraction shooter too 😭

[craggy tapir]

It could've worked. It shouldn't have been named TF|3 tho

Having an Arc Raiders style Extraction shooter set in the Titanfall universe would've been interesting

[willow lance]

People who are into extraction shooters loves CBT type realism, that's why it's futile to make sci fi extraction shooters or casual extraction shooters imo

[craggy tapir]

That only applies to the Tarkov-style extraction shooter fans. Arc Raiders is a perfect example of a casual sci fi extraction shooter

[spare socket]

It didn’t abandon the core titanfall combat tho. The extraction shooter was merely the main mode

And innovations in the extraction shooter market are welcome imo as long as it’s not tarkov style

[willow lance]

Titanfall's gameplay is incompatible with extraction gameplay

[willow lance]

Arc Raiders isn't even out yet we don't know if it will have an audience or not

[soft moat]

is it still possible to get all the road to bf6 rewards from bf2042? not rly sure how the progression works for that

[drowsy cove]

Call to rename Open and Closed weapon playlists to Unbalanced and Balanced.
Calling them open and closed seems specifically designed to give the impression something is being lost when closing it off. When the reality is that you can balance the class gadgets better around engagement distances and roles....you know....like pretty much every battlefield has in the past.

[distant pendant]

yeah

[molten halo]

i hope bf6 brings back the m142 himars

[white moss]

The day steam goes public is the day the store front turns into epic store front

[cerulean sparrow]

ngl I’m glad we aren’t getting a titanfall 3

It would ruin the series

[white moss]

Titanfall 2 only failed cause it released between two huge shooters

[digital mauve]

SUPER

HOT

[tight relic]

A shame at that, It's still active to this day. Probably a few hundred people

[digital mauve]

SUPER

[digital mauve]

Come on no one?

[dark owl]

I can read in the exact rhythm

[craggy tapir]

Valve going public would be so bad for the industry. Can't imagine what the shareholders would make them do

[digital mauve]

If they forced em to make a portal 3 it wouldn't be all bad

"im still alive"

I'm not even angry

[craggy tapir]

I doubt they'd be interested in the game development side of Valve. Steam would be the main thing they'd want to change

[dark owl]

If valve makes a game that ends with number 3 I will walk naked on the street for a whole day

[digital mauve]

I'm being so sincere right now

[digital mauve]

Or a SWBF game

They're gonna reboot that crap twice more before we get a number 3

[dark owl]

true lmao

[dim flax]

is this fact truth? https://x.com/RiloeGaming/status/1966913383321747880, COD copy BFV BR armor and callable system

[dark owl]

am I going crazy or WZ was released way before Firestorm?

[craggy tapir]

Warzone was released 2 years after Firestorm

BFV released 2018 while Warzone released 2020

[dark owl]

god damnit you're right

I have a hole in my memory of everything that happened between 2018 and 2024

[white moss]

Ya I could have sworn warzone came first too.

[dark owl]

Mandela effect

[white moss]

Darn universes colliding again

[rocky granite]

SUPER

[dark owl]

[rocky granite]

[dark owl]

I think the thing that came first was Call of Duty Blackout and we are mixing things up

[mighty olive]

when did pubg come into the picture ?

2017?

[dark owl]

2017 if I'm not mistaken

[mighty olive]

[white moss]

SUPER

[spare totem]

I have a question and I don’t really know exactly where to ask it since I don’t use Discord much, about the rumor that’s been said about Cristian Buhl, he said that the game will be realistic for a while, what exactly does that mean? That in this game they will add skins like in Call of Duty?

[white moss]

He can't promise it will be grounded forever.

In his power he will try and keep it grounded but higher ups may have other plans.

[spare totem]

But the best thing would be if they added a skin filter so everyone would be happy, because I can’t imagine the Reddit and Twitter community, with all the fools there, complaining about a skin with green details. Just imagine if they added Beavis or the characters from American Dad...

[white moss]

You and I both know that won't ever happen

Still even if it gets bad I don't think it will ever get to COD level of bad

Cartoon characters for example won't ever happen. But something like 50 cent happening I can see happening

[spare totem]

At the end of the day, it's EA that's in charge, and they're worse than Activision or any other company.

[white moss]

Unfortunately there isn't another shooter like battlefield I enjoy. I tried a lot of different ones.

Honestly been worse if he promised grounded forever and then goes and lies about it.

[molten halo]

isnt tombstone that guy from bf4

[spare totem]

I’m a fan of CoD, but I also played Battlefield back in the day and I like it. In fact, I tried the Battlefield 6 beta and it seemed amazing to me. Actually, this year will be the first one I haven’t bought any CoD, but all I hope and wish is that EA doesn’t screw it up like always, because honestly, they have a gem of a video game.

[white moss]

I think tombstone is actually the squads name

Though it may have been a name of a character.

[molten halo]

i just hope that since this campaign is supposed to go from 2027 to 2030 and 2042 starts in 2032 they connect

[thorn sequoia]

First battle royale was h1z1 I think

At least the first successful one.

[dark owl]

I mean, not the first one ever, the first between cod and bf

[white moss]

Official and not some mod. As for movies 2000 I think

[thorn sequoia]

It was Cod with blackout.

[dark owl]

exactly

[white moss]

No h1z1 came out in 2015

[thorn sequoia]

They mean between just cod and bf not the VERY first one

[white moss]

Oh ok

[crimson gate]

Real ones know that Minecraft Hunger Games is the OG battle royale

[white moss]

Which came first blackout or fireatorm

Same year

[crimson gate]

blackout

[thorn sequoia]

Blackout pretty sure

[white moss]

Thought it was same year. Think the games just came out the same year

[thorn sequoia]

Think so but I think blackout came first idk

I skipped bf 5

[white moss]

It did. Blackout October 2018. Firestorm march 2019

[crisp pebble]

Yup, and Blackout went free-to-play January 2019.

[white moss]

Like I said games probably came out at the same time though. But blackout was ready day one

[dark owl]

I remember clearly playing blackout before Firestorm

yeah it was out day one

[white moss]

The tractor was OP

[dark owl]

it was the "replacement" of the campaign of bo4

[crisp pebble]

Have they posted a date for the Battlefield BR beta yet?

[dark owl]

will there be a beta?

[crisp pebble]

Playtest, whatever they wanna call it this time.

[white moss]

Perhaps. The labs thing is probably an alpha test

[vital roost]

it's already going in labs

or should start within a week

[crisp pebble]

I signed up for it... guess i just didn't get an invite to it.

[dark owl]

it's random, you can still be invited

[white moss]

Though streamers will get a better shot at it I imagine.

[dark owl]

probably

[crisp pebble]

oh for sure.

[dark owl]

I didn't even sign up, have negative interest in BR

[white moss]

I wouldn't say negative. Just not enough interest to sign up for it

[vital roost]

It's going to be a separate module anyway. It's developed by another studio

[vapid yarrow]

How many days before release check?

[frozen thorn]

more than 5

[white moss]

You mean to say mode?

[vital roost]

nah

bf6 will work like modern cods, you can choose what to download

and br is going to be a free to play addition to the base game

[shrewd abyss]

so whenever i want to just delete the campaign i can?

[vital roost]

ye i think so

[strong echo]

We don't count days, that's too long, we do seconds instead, they go by alot faster check with @frank dust for an update

[shrewd abyss]

i also hope that they do it like HD2 in monetization-> permanent passes

[dark owl]

@frank dust may give you the exact answer

[lean imp]

What’s all the drama about the neon green soldier skin

[dawn cipher]

Just ignore..

[lean imp]

I think it’s a collab or promo skin anyway

The red and black phantom edition skins already is not really a typical soldier look but oh well

[gleaming quiver]

noobs wildin

[dawn cipher]

They've also rewritten the developers interview narrative on skins and added a line that the skins stays realistic and ground for a while... I couldn't find any valid source for it.

[molten halo]

I'm so glad i'm almost done with the 2042 free pass so i can uninstall

[gleaming quiver]

bro its actual reallife cbt

[shrewd abyss]

the thing is that its only accents, its a minority of the skin and the green one its basically neon green, its close to speedsoft standards

[dawn cipher]

Yeah I agree, but there is really not much wrong with them, some may likes the red color on it. It looks pretty cool in my opinion.

[molten halo]

how is this literally the most toxic battlefield playerbase i've ever seen (in 2042)

like people obsess over k/da..... in battlefield?

[lean imp]

It looks like airsoft or merc gear ngl but yeah they look great anyway so np

Even CoD have that black and red stuff in MWIII

[molten halo]

i want a skin that looks like ghost from mw2 and that's about it

nothing more cartoon than that

[gleaming quiver]

its funny cuz they LITERALLY DISABLED GAME CHAT and its still, easily, the most toxic bf game to date

probably because its so clanky and random

[molten halo]

no they didn't?

[gleaming quiver]

huh? i can only see my team's chat

[molten halo]

there's all/team/squad

but yeah the bf6 beta wasnt this toxic

[gleaming quiver]

oh ok good to know, if bf2042 wasnt literally the worst FPS game of all time i'd care

bring back bf4 game chat with all the racism and homophobia please (user was banned for this post)

[reef mist]

id argue 2042 is way better than alot of fps games and idk why you would want a lobby with a braincell count in the negatives

[shrewd abyss]

its a decent shooter, terrible battlefield

[reef mist]

how so?

[gleaming quiver]

LMAO what fps game is it better than? OG 1990 doom?

[white moss]

If we are gonna do that then bring back custom emblems so I can rock my Cubs logo again

[gleaming quiver]

HELL YEA BRING BACK BATTLELOG ALLTOGETHER

AND EMBLEMS, AND PLATOON CHAT

[reef mist]

any fps game after doom actually

[white moss]

Wait hear me out it's crazy but server browser

[reef mist]

i heard its coming

[white moss]

Doom I think was 93. 91 was Wolfenstein 3D I think

[gleaming quiver]

both better fps games than bf2042

[tight prism]

I feel like the people that hate 2042 love talking about it more than those of us who love it and just have fun gaming.

[white moss]

After playing BF6 beta. Compared to 2042 ya. BF6 is definitely better.

[tight prism]

Oh absolutely, no denying that.

But 2042 is great in the interim. I just got the KFC to T1 recently and been playing matches tonight.

The Sovereign Soldier skin will be repped in memory and the game itself will be uninstalled once BF6 is live.

[shrewd abyss]

if you just see it like for example Delta Force and not as a Battlefield, it is a decent shooter

because it has the Battlefield name, and how it works, it is not a game deserving of the name Battlefield

if it was only 2042, it would be okay

[tight prism]

Feels like it to me. Combat on a big scale with vehicular and infantry combat, ground and air, with squads and roles to fulfill, objectives to conquer.

[molten halo]

man i love tier 1 chicken

[frozen thorn]

Maybe someday

[thorn sequoia]

no thank you

[gleaming quiver]

welp no one asked

[candid oxide]

nah, go play cod

[tight prism]

Holdfast is what you would be thinking of.

[vapid linden]

Bro literally is saying game chat is "cod" SMH

4 year old steam account

These kids are cooked

[candid oxide]

Not sure why my steam age account matters but I'm saying if you want that type of behavior then go play cod, there's plenty of that

[ionic portal]

Battle log is back

[thorn sequoia]

:)

[thorn sequoia]

lol

[gleaming quiver]

what an insightful remark, im sure you wont play bf6 for 1 hour tops and then go cry about your negative KD while you install CoD to cope about being bad at FPS games

[thorn sequoia]

is there a reason yall being mad toxic to each other or this just boredom lol

[gleaming quiver]

personally i am toxic to whoever thinks "an opinion" = cod

OMG YOU USE YOUR LEGS TO WALK?? COD PLAYER!!!!

[molten halo]

"you camp with a sniper? cod player"

[dire niche]

GAME OVER for cronus zen and these other devices they announced the anticheat system Finally detects the Cronus zen on PC and Consoles

The markers of Cronus and other devices have announced that Cronus zen will be detectable on Battlefield 6 and other games

GAME OVER for cheaters who these devices

[molten halo]

i saw someone accuse an AA camper of being a cod player

[gleaming quiver]

wtf are you shooting at other players??? COD COD COD!!!!!!! BATTLEFIELD IS ALL ABOUT THE DIALOGUE AMIRITE REDDIT

[molten halo]

i was a cod player, and i do try to recreate cod campaign moments with my gunships though

[gleaming quiver]

PLS IGNORE MY NEGATIVE 99 KD

[dire niche]

Cod players are mad because Battlefield 6 has or is going to kill black ops 7 as even EA/DICE them self's has said Battlefield 6 seems to be the cod killer game

[thorn sequoia]

i mean if you annoyed just hit ignore on them simple.

[rancid atlas]

Bo7 looks straight garbage

[rancid atlas]

Nice!

Finally, the end of cod, for a while atleast

[dire niche]

Its the end for cod now because with how good Battlefield 6 will be and now with the Killer blow with BR mode that's it for war zone as BR will be better than war zone so you'll see alot of players from war zone coming across just for the BR mode

[rancid atlas]

Yeah, this seems to be battlefield 1 vs infinite warfare all over again but bf6 will finally kill cod for awhile, this is great

[mint fern]

Cant you believe it guys? Bf6 less than a month away.

[rancid atlas]

I have it on my calendar

[mint fern]

I am so excited about this information. It got here so fast

[gleaming quiver]

i enjoy bathing in toxicity

[candid oxide]

https://tenor.com/view/right-yeah-right-yeah-oh-yeah-ohh-gif-14553729619893238098

[gleaming quiver]

cool embed fail negative KD player

[candid oxide]

What's a negative KD

[gleaming quiver]

hit tab

[dire niche]

Cod knows they are in big trouble now Battlefield has released the BR mode aa they know thier player base will now play BR so that's why they announced they are not carrying skins towards from black ops 6 to 7 because they know they are in big trouble now with losing the player base to Battlefield it was along time coming but EA/DICE finally has made the cod killer game which they promise they would make

[candid oxide]

Never heard of him

[gleaming quiver]

youre funny on top of having very good takes. oh wait

[candid oxide]

I'm aware

[thorn sequoia]

fair enough back to marvel rivals then

[candid oxide]

I've already taken time off work for it

[rancid atlas]

Yeah, they chose to not carry skins forward because they realized that their childish skins are turning them into a more mature “Fortnite” they also said they aren’t including an old system called the pick 10 system from cods best selling games because they think “their playerbase is too dumb” for it

[rancid atlas]

Correct

[mint fern]

Ive made plans ahead to take a week or two to enjoy bf6 then right after im getting a job finally

[dire niche]

Can't wait for Battlefield 6 already got the rewards from twitch and Battlepass completed toally ready for Battlefield 6 at 12am when it realised

[candid oxide]

I have like 40 something days on the books but I'm only gonna use a few

[rancid atlas]

You’re going to play that early? I’d be too tired for that. Or that late depending on how you look at it

[mint fern]

I cant finish the battlepass. Its taking so damn long to get done, and i just hate 2042 as a whole its to the point I'd rather get a lobotomy

I got to like the bf3 stuff and just stopped

[rancid atlas]

I hated bf5 tho

[molten halo]

2042 is the only bf i've played where one team is always taking a complete spanking from the other with next to no close games

[mint fern]

1 short of the skin i really want, the bf4 inspired outfit they're promoting

[dire niche]

I'm glad EA/DICE has delivered on thier promises which they have with Battlefield 6 as they already got the record for the most played beta on any game now so now this is thier chance to get all the records

[karmic ermine]

Why is everyone so bad at 2042 and why is 2042 so good I just started playing it game truly underrated

[mint fern]

So real though

[molten halo]

imo the best free pass skin is level 49

[slender epoch]

I’m level 47 bp., I’m just gonna do missions and log off 2042 . It makes my brain melt 😂

[rancid atlas]

I don’t think it’s possible for them to get all the records though, kids games like Roblox have taken over the player count records on one game alone, not even the whole platform

[mint fern]

The movement system is awful, way too fast paced like cod, plus the character specific gadgets are just really not great. The beauty of old school bf was that your class has multiple gadgets you could try and mix, but not in 2042 since characters are locked to specific items

[dire niche]

Use the spotting drone for in Breakthrough on IWO JIMA mode that will get you more XP per match

[rancid atlas]

Maybe on shooter game records

[dire niche]

I definitely will be on Battlefield 6 at the release time at 12am I always do for every game

[mint fern]

Good point sadly iwo isnt on the 24/7 pool anymore 💀 (which is why i desperately miss server browser)

[rancid atlas]

Hey, you’re very committed I like that

Real battlefield player

[sour copper]

I'm a Battlefield 6 beta veteran.

[dire niche]

Isn't it on Breakthrough mode it was in there for iwo

[strong echo]

I can't wait till bf6, what should I play meanwhile

[mint fern]

Havent checked maybe it still is

[karmic ermine]

I’ve only played battlefield V and although it looked beautiful the guns play was bad imo. Battlefield 2042 seems like the developers put so much time into creating the maps. They are stunning. Only thing I’d say it’s lacking it’s the gun customization as you said

[rancid atlas]

Practice in 2042 or 4

[gleaming quiver]

path of exile 2

[dire niche]

Been playing battlefield since bad company alot has changed so you have to adapt your play style with each new game else as each battlefield game has a different play style

[mint fern]

Thats the thing 5 wasn't much great either im a 4 player mainly, 1, 3, bad company 1+2 and 4 are well known for being the top dogs of the series

[rancid atlas]

Which one?

[mint fern]

Grant it 5 got most of its act together at the end but still wasn't great

[gleaming quiver]

every battlefield after bf4 was bad. now bf1 fans gonna get mad but its the truth. horses and bayonettes arent battlefield

[dire niche]

I think its still in just Breakthrough mode when you click on Breakthrough mode it should say IWO JIMA less they removed it hopefully they havnt

[rancid atlas]

5 gotta be one of if not the worst battlefield ever

[gleaming quiver]

battle giver

[karmic ermine]

I stopped playing video games cause every developer wants to be cool and use demonic tags skins etc I just started playing 2042 and see none of that. No wonder they flopped didn’t sell out

[rancid atlas]

Auto correct

[molten halo]

probably gonna be bumping the 2009 mw2's theme the first time i roll a bmp in bf6

[gleaming quiver]

bro bf2042 started out as a hero shooter, they tried really hard to fit in

[sour copper]

I stopped playing video games because the underpants knomes beat the crap out of me.

[dire niche]

My first Battlefield game was Battlefield Bad company back in 2008

[mint fern]

Meh i mean i see where you're coming from i didnt mind 1 as much especially the operations mode was pretty good! Though i understand if the time period isnt what you enjoyed, i do like that they did something new and interesting at least!

[gleaming quiver]

yes no doubt it was new. however i dont think moving from TV missiles, boats, helis, jets, JDAMs, cruise missiles, TOWs etc to squeeky tanks, horses and bayonettes is a good idea for the franchise

[cerulean sparrow]

I couldn’t play beta cause I didn’t have the STUPID ps plus subscription

[mint fern]

I mean yeah true big jump probably threw people off, then immediately before that it was cops and robbers

[sour copper]

Sorry pal 🥲

[strong echo]

U missed out big time

[mint fern]

But keep in mind battlefield from its roots though was a ww2 game so just like how cod stemmed from that to modern it'd be right to assume there's gonna be weird jumps

[molten halo]

the last battlefield i liked the way i liked the bf6 beta was bf1

[cerulean sparrow]

I am aware

[molten halo]

especially the boat dlc more games needs boat (n hoes)

[cerulean sparrow]

I’ve missed out on a lot of games this year since I’m to broke to afford any games

[dire niche]

Especially with the rewards you got from the beta aswell

[mint fern]

I actually wouldn't put it past dice to go back to older wars like ww2 after bf6's life cycle tbh

[molten halo]

sorry i forgot i'm ancietn and most people werent alive when boats n hoes was a meme

[dire niche]

With out a doubt now EA/DICE will never go backwards to the stupid skins and camos for the future how they saw how much Battlefield 6 will be successful

[mint fern]

Oh no not going back to the dumb skins but just a older war setting maybe

They do dip around in different time periods

[cerulean sparrow]

wait what

dang I really wish you didn’t have to pay for online on console

[dire niche]

They will definitely go back to the old school war style periods now as they know that's what the community wants

[dire niche]

Yes there was rewards you could unlock within the beta

[mint fern]

Now if we could just get a revolutionary war battlefield 👀

[slender epoch]

Cold War era old enough and modern enough lol

[mint fern]

Joking of course i dont think anyone wants to use muskets and swords

[dire niche]

Never know with EA/DICE they could do a Battlefield 6 era against like a older period style war as that's something the community has talked about in the past

[gleaming quiver]

ww2 is tolerable if done right, ww1 is too much. SHOVELS??? one sequel after the community has 2v2 attack heli cups, we are relegated to shovels and horses? its a different game and shouldve been called one

bf1 took a complex battlefield game and turned into hurrrrrrr horses

[late folio]

And yet it was the best-selling and highest-rated battlefield ever.

[mint fern]

That is true it absolutely stomped cod that year as well

[gleaming quiver]

and? fortnite is the most popular fps. i dont care about best selling

[dire niche]

I'm Just happy that EA/DICE has delivered on thier promises with Battlefield 6 and that they have made and are making changes from listening to the community as yes its been a long time coming but finally they are listening to the community

[late folio]

It didn't but that was only because cod panicked and sold a remastered cod4 with it

[mint fern]

Sorry i meant nearly stomped cod, the cod4 remaster was a Hail Mary

[late folio]

Crazy how you ignore highest rated as in the best viewed from fans

[slender epoch]

The horses were like tanks lol

[late folio]

I didn't like the setting either but to say it isn't a battlefield when it is the best battlefield ever sold is just…????

[mint fern]

Personally the horses were a cool addition, hated how tough they were though. Not the weirdest addition of vehicle though, i mean hard-line just put a drivable couch on the map. Wasnt even hidden really

That addition i felt was very strange

[acoustic plume]

Long live bf3💔

[mint fern]

But then again hard-line was just weird in general lmao

[dire niche]

Battlefield 6 could get the highest but then 2026 comes along every game company knows GTA 6 will go top

[slender epoch]

Hardline came out too early it would have been more appreciated

If it waiting a few months to a year . Dice was still dropping content for bf4 atp

[late folio]

I think if it was just Hardline it would have been fine.

[acoustic plume]

Fun gun game though

[hexed moth]

Will there be clan ladders and private servers for clan battles or not on bf6.
I don’t think my clan will be purchasing the game if this is not the case. We did have comps and ladders in bf3. Maybe third party I can’t recall. I pre ordered the phantom. It maybe a cancellation 🙁

[slender epoch]

We had gta for cops n robbers still lol

[tight needle]

Get me closer, I wanna hit em with my shovel

[frank dust]

2,256,000 seconds remaining until Battlefield 6

CC: @strong echo @dark owl

[dire niche]

Until the game is released no one's knows how the server browser works as they havnt given out information but all they said was server browser will be in Battlefield 6 but hasn't said how it will work like for private or not

[slender epoch]

Dice did a good job w a ww1 game. They could’ve made it way,.. way slower

[hexed moth]

We rented a private server in bf3. Not sure now.

[acoustic plume]

I feel like playing bf3 now. Good day

[dire niche]

Until the game is released no one knows if that's how server browser will work again as all the information they gave was Yes server browser is definitely in Battlefield 6

[gleaming quiver]

like i said i dont care about popular or highest rating. they couldve made a minecraft replica and get even better ratings. bf1 isnt battlefield, its another game on its own

[slender epoch]

It def felt like its own game . TBH it reminded me of swbf1 that dice did

[late folio]

So you don't care about facts or evidence that proves you wrong. You just don't like the setting and think it shouldn't be a battlefield. K

[gleaming quiver]

"facts or evidence" when you talk about ratings lmao

[late folio]

The highest rated is a fact.

[tidal hound]

It works pretty much exactly the same as 2042. Stop coping thinking they are going to change it by launch

[late folio]

The highest selling is a fact.

[slender epoch]

It was perfect until they nerfed the slide

[gleaming quiver]

minecraft is better rated as a standalone game, does that actually mean its a better game?

[late folio]

If you like comparing apples to oranges.

[gleaming quiver]

imagine going by user ratings and mentioning facts

[late folio]

Imagine ignoring facts because they disprove your logic.

[frozen thorn]

Whats the issue here? What are you guys fighting about? I want in

[acoustic plume]

I cope when this happens

[gleaming quiver]

my logic is you love bf1 cuz you got farmed in bf4

[late folio]

He is trying to say BF1 isn't a battlefield because WW1

[slender epoch]

What’s bros beef with bf1 just shoot m95 and profit

maybe pop a flare every once in a while

[acoustic plume]

Well I don't ignore fact, I cope with the new information

[late folio]

I have 20 hours in BF1 and over 2k in BF4

[dire niche]

Looks like about highest rating thing

[slender epoch]

I love bf4 and 1 for dif reasons . 1 had better maps and sounds and operations

[acoustic plume]

The issue is is that we miss bf3 co-op

[slender epoch]

4 was v sim to bf3 which is why I liked it

[late folio]

My argument was stating that calling BF1 “not a battlefield game” when it is the highest rated and highest selling battlefield is a poor opinion.

[frozen thorn]

Im not sure why BF1 would not be considered as a BF title

[slender epoch]

it also had massive support post launch and premium pass delivered all the goodies

[acoustic plume]

I'm not going to re-read but I think bro was reaching

2042 isn't a bf title. Name it battlefield 5.5 and call it

[dire niche]

I respect that if your opinion as everyone has thier on opinions on what they think about games so you and the other guy dont need to argue tho just respect eachothers opinions on eachother thinks 🙂

[slender epoch]

It is but i didn’t vibe with it.. lots of decisions of that game had me scratching my head 😂 it was dices experiment

[acoustic plume]

Battlefield isn't an experiment

Lol jk

[late folio]

Except when he tries to defend his opinion by attacking the facts you have presented. Thus making it a debate.

[slender epoch]

they had the formula . I had high hopes for it seeing that we had ps5 and xsx just came out . Like.. big boost in. Power just give us the bf we love

[acoustic plume]

A debate you don't have to respond to

[slender epoch]

Then I was like how can you mess up portal lol just feed us maps and guns and have it count for xp

[late folio]

Correct we don't need to talk about battlefield we can all just uninstall discord. 🙂 We don't have to talk.

[acoustic plume]

I enjoyed that game for like 2 weeks before i got the mouse-input-itis

[slender epoch]

I heard about the input lag oh boi

[dire niche]

Aslong everyone respects eachother opinions 🙂

[late folio]

I didn't care about BF1’s setting either its why I didn't play it. However I do recognize and respect it is the better of the franchise.

[dire niche]

That's the thing if you don't like something EA/DICE listen to the community That's why there is a EA forum where you can post your opinions or if you need help with anything

[gleaming quiver]

why? it has better user ratings

[acoustic plume]

Ever heard of demographic

[gleaming quiver]

...... wat

[acoustic plume]

You'll learn that word in school

[gleaming quiver]

burns as stale as your character

[late folio]

Problem? Did I confuse you? Did I hurt your head, making you see that it is possible to understand something is better, but not play it? 😲 Yes, it is possible to not like a good thing and know it is a good thing. It is also possible to enjoy a bad thing even though it is bad. Look at the support Gulf of Oman has. It’s a mid-level map in BF2 and a garbage map in BF4, yet people still love it.

[dire niche]

If you guys want to talk about things just talk but don't turn into hating and arguments as just respect eachothers opinions 🙂

[gleaming quiver]

thats alotta talk for having almost no game time for a game you consider better. sounds like youre mad for some reason about bf1 being an offshoot game

[acoustic plume]

How does it play different from bf3, on bf4

[late folio]

Vehicles are twice as strong

[slender epoch]

Bf1 had biggest audience while bf3 was great ps4 sold more than ps3,

so more bf1 copies sold

[hexed moth]

I’ve cancelled the pre-order for now, until I find out if we can have private closed servers. We had that in bf3 for clan members and stopped ppl who cheating, we never played ( randoms ) . I guess it’s just a wait until launch.

[late folio]

It's okay I preordered another copy

[vapid linden]

It's a strange game comparing game copy sales as the years progress because the industry and consumer base has simply been scaling up

[gleaming quiver]

for some reason EA is dead set on not having an actual community for the game

[acoustic plume]

I think I'm just going to get on with life if this game is mid. Mid is the bare minimum and life is life-ing

[slender epoch]

That’s what I’m saying Sony sold ps4 like crazy so it’s only natural bf1 also sold . It was also a based game played ww1 setting v safe lol

[hexed moth]

Apart from no support for clans, for me is a no go. Very good game though. Enjoyed every minute of BETA. Hope everything is ironed out for the release guys.

[vapid linden]

For me
I simply hate the idea of doing a ww1 game and compromising the setting with sub machine guns and semi autos

[slender epoch]

They could’ve made bf1 more harsher for a trench war lol

[hallow geode]

Wow after all this time Battlefield 6 FINALLY back on the front page of PS5 store lol it was just BO7 for weeks

[vapid linden]

I almost solely played bf1 hard-core with scopeless bolt actions lol

[gleaming quiver]

same i loved the bf6 beta but "portal server browser" makes me not very excited for it, same for no battlelog or platoon support, no emblems etc. they took the soul out of the game

[hexed moth]

A big shame. But if that’s the way they want to go. Fair enough.

[gleaming quiver]

also they really should just dump the current engine and revert back to bf4

no matter how hard they try to make it good, its a poop engine

[vapid linden]

I will admit I went back to bf4 after the beta and it is nuts how little it feels like the franchise has "progressed" since then lol

Like even just technically, design wise you can say it had actively got worse ofc

[slender epoch]

You didn’t like the bf6 engine?

[gleaming quiver]

loved bf6, it wouldve still been infinitely better with bf4's engine

you get a fuggen 9-kill with a bomb drop and it feels like eh

[dire niche]

Its hard for EA/DICE as they are trying to make everyone happy but of course they can't make everyone happy but they do try thier best to make the game enjoyable for every try of players and clans

[slender epoch]

It needs hit reg work

That’s my only complaint. I kept 💀 behind cover

[gleaming quiver]

i personally believe everyone wouldve been happy with another bf4 with new maps

[late folio]

That's just a battlefield launch tradition.

[vapid linden]

Anyone here remember bf4s beta? 💀

[late folio]

And 3s

[gleaming quiver]

lmao sound bug, rounds end suddenly because why not, uhh cant remember much else but it was a disaster

[acoustic plume]

I remember it like it was yesterday

[gleaming quiver]

oh wait that was launch

[vapid linden]

Unplayable tier performance as well

[late folio]

I got 99 problems and a bug is one.

[acoustic plume]

Bf4's E3 announcement, man where did life go

[dire niche]

I respect that if your opinion i hope you enjoy Battlefield 6 as much as you enjoyed the Beta 🙂

[gleaming quiver]

definitely gonna enjoy bf6, f16 was just too fun

[vapid linden]

Honestly I am going to give the BR a try

[acoustic plume]

And you type on discord

[late folio]

You must not remember the meme from BF3s launch then.

[dire niche]

I'm with you there i will try BR to see what's its like but main focus is on the multiplayer

[slender epoch]

Maaan bf4 beta was ok lol even on the 360

[vapid linden]

Alot of the class changes in bf6 and stuff just feel like change for the sake of change with no real idea....
Assault ladder?? Sledgehammer?
Support does everything?
Recon does.... nothing?

[slender epoch]

It was meant for the next gen

[vapid linden]

Ofc recon has always done nothing

[late folio]

I was about to say lol so nothing changed

[lean imp]

Recon is good for tagging enemies and sniping anyone standing up in liberation peak

That map is designed for recons and vehicle warfare

[slender epoch]

Flanking. I was flanking w the spawn beacon

But they are taking the beacon away so idk anymore

[vapid linden]

24/7 soflam duty

[late folio]

Recon has jeep stuff

[slender epoch]

😂

I’ll be on the binos all round

[lean imp]

That as well

The spawn beacon is useful to quickly attack and overwhelm undefended/lightly defended objectives

[vapid linden]

A dedicated soflammer is a game winning player tho tbh

[lean imp]

Yup recons are underrated tbh

[vapid linden]

Bring back the bc2 recon artillery strike cowards

[lean imp]

I think commander role with artillery/drone strikes would be awesome

[slender epoch]

Also for keeping up pressure for attackers .. defenders love to stack on each other so I would put a beacon adjacent the main front to split up defenses

[lean imp]

Yup the C objective in Lib Peak is ideal for the quick spawn beacon attacks

[dire niche]

Less the spawn beacons is too overpowered with assault classes then if it makes for modes like Breakthrough too hard to get through they will more than likely change spawn beacons back to Recon class if its too overpowered on assault class it shouldn't be as they give you less ammo on assault class because of the spawn beacon is there now

[slender epoch]

Instead of running into the brick wall blueberries love to do 🤦‍♂️

[tidal hound]

Less ammo is if you use 2 primaries like the shotgun

[slender epoch]

I thought the grenade launcher was v powerful in the right hands

Esp the thermo variants

[tidal hound]

Fire launcher was extremely annoying to get hit by

[lean imp]

I think the shotguns need a nerf at longer ranges

[tidal hound]

I'd rather just instantly die to the other launcher than slowly burn to death and being unable to do anything

[vapid linden]

Unless they're making recon the "overpowered drone" class?

[lean imp]

It’ll be only overpowered if they got assault drones

[dire niche]

Its hard to know what will happen with the spawn Beacons definitely if its too overpowered with assault they will change it back but hopefully it won't be overpowered time will tell tho

[slender epoch]

Weres my suav 😂

[vapid linden]

Grenade drop drone Ukraine war style

[hexed moth]

We used to have line of sight in each squad. I recon for each one picked off the ppl we couldn’t see at a point. Being a military clan things like that never rub off.

[lean imp]

Yup would be great

The reaper would be ideal for a commander role instead

[tight prism]

I think their logic with the assault beacons is for them to be the Frontline establishers that they are intended to be, the problem is that sniping Recons are useless both usually and in the current implementation since UAV cannot be manually placed on the tacmap either and motion sensor is mostly for sniper bros to know when someone has had enough of their bull.

[slender epoch]

Shhhheeesh lmao ok I see yall been watching that drone footage . We need to have nets in bf6 aswell to catch them drones huh 😂

[tight prism]

With beacon on recon you have infiltrators who do matter.

[tidal hound]

The problem is 99% of recons are sitting back sniping. Shouldnt be worried about the other 1%

[tight prism]

The real MVPs, those mates. Final point being capped and they are sitting on their cushy butts nowhere near it.

[tidal hound]

I agree that beacon makes most sense on Recon, but players just dont use it the way it should be used on that class

[lean imp]

The recons that actively use drones are the ones who goes forward usually

[tight prism]

Some of us did, but you are correct that most used it to hole up in their sniper dens.

[lean imp]

Yup the beacon should be on recon

[tight prism]

I will be probably doing drone work just like I did with Casper in 2042.

[hallow geode]

Glad to hear they're toning down spotting, but doesn't sound like they're getting rid of auto spotting. Why was that even a thing? Like can someone explain if there's like any benefit to that? Genuinely curious

[late folio]

If I had to guess to make it easier for people to see the enemy, understand how spotting works, and understand how powerful spotting is.

[hallow geode]

I enjoyed spotting people in BF4. In BF6 it feels pointless now

[late folio]

I mean BF4 has the auto spotter attachment that you could put on any gun.

[hallow geode]

what the

I'm a fake BF4 fan what the hell lol how did I not know about that

[tidal hound]

Auto/passive spotting has been a thing in many of the games. Just BF6 had an extreme range and FOV on it

[late folio]

You didn't even have to unlock it either it was just there for you.

[hallow geode]

I got mastery on so many guns in BF4. I guess that shows how little I paid attention to some attachments 🤣

It's not something I do these days tho. I was pretty young when BF4 came out lol

[late folio]

It was in the same attachment portion as the laser so you could argue it was in an area people didn't care about till they had heavy barrel or something.

[twilit spade]

26 days bois!

[hallow geode]

ah thats fair, yeah cos I didn't think I was that careless when I played BF4 back in it's prime

[late folio]

I never used it because I enjoy hip fire so laser > auto spotter. Plus I know how to press Q

[dire niche]

They announced they are not getting rid of auto spotting they just tonned the distance down but i suppose they thought we will give the Recon class slightly overpowered spotting since we have taken the Deploy Beacon from that class as they know less players will use the Recon now because no Deploy Beacon but now slightly overpowered auto spotting could actually make more players use the Recon class that's what I think on thier thinking

[night bone]

Anyone looking for someone to join their squad for ptfo?

[frozen thorn]

I only add people who like to stay in spawn and shoot at jets with ARs

[late folio]

A man of culture.

[slender epoch]

It came late with the last dlc pack

[night bone]

I shoot jets with heavy armor in spawn

[late folio]

Bonus points if you get them to do a strafe on you.

[twilit spade]

Been along since I been this hyped for a shooter

[tidal hound]

I use my bipod knife against jets

[twilit spade]

Can't wait to get rid of 2042

[night bone]

Ill prob be done with bf 2042 after this week's challenges

Bf3 mon ami and bc2 throwback was my fav modes

[twilit spade]

I need a fps and can't find anything worth downloading

👀 😔

[hallow geode]

Sounds like yet another thing that could be solved with closed weapons as default IMO. If they're getting data that not a lot of people are using recon then giving them an OP spotting buff like that is not the way to go. People aren't gonna use recon because why bother when you can use a sniper with an RPG or a sniper with a medkit or ammo box

[twilit spade]

My votes for closed weapons on everything

[late folio]

Two words that will make me use Recon no matter what. Jeep Stuff

[slender epoch]

C4 down low

[dire niche]

Oh definitely forsure Recon class with auto spotting with open class will definitely be the go to class for overpowered with smoking grenades as they only tonned distance

[late folio]

C4 my beloved

[twilit spade]

Wish we could do a poll for ea to see 👀 👀 👀

[late folio]

I wish you could do the battlebit c4 vest. 😔

[frozen thorn]

We are not allike. In fact, im blocking you.

[slow horizon]

need 2 eu players, dm

[hallow geode]

It's gonna take a lot sadly. If they're gonna make a change it won't be before launch. They'll want to maximize playercount for launch. Hopefully the battlefield veterans voices don't get drowned out too much when the BR launches

[night bone]

The only voice that matters is $$$

Open weapons are more profitable

[hallow geode]

The problem with non-BF veterans is I'm sure they like the freedom, but if it was never there in the first place I guarantee they would not magically complain and say "Ya know what this game needs, open weapons" 🤣

[twilit spade]

Im a battlefield vet and could give 2 ***** about a br! Just my 2 cents

[hallow geode]

I distinctly remember back when BF3 came out as a kid. I viewed the game as a very distinct concept - Team-based shooter with classes that have specific guns assigned to them. I've always viewed that as a major part of it's identity

[twilit spade]

Its either gonna do great or be another flip like firestorm

[dire niche]

Money always talks that's why they announced Battlefield 6 is made more console players than PC players as they know most of the community is on consoles so of course EA/DICE has double down now and said they are fully behind the console players

[twilit spade]

*flop

[night bone]

That's how I felt about bc2

[hallow geode]

Forever sad I missed out on playing that game during it's prime

it aint the same playing an old game many years later

[late folio]

Should have seen 2142 in its prime.

[hallow geode]

yeah thats another one I looked at gameplay and I was like maaaaaaan that mustve been fun back in the day

[late folio]

Titan Assault ❤️

[hallow geode]

On one hand I want the BR to do well so the game has a healthy playerbase overall and that'll spill over to multiplayer. On the other hand I feel like the only way to get closed weapons back is if the BR flops hard and they have no choice but to listen to that feedback

[tacit juniper]

I just want Kilo West in my squad..
https://youtu.be/lahnlKoKK3s?si=yQWmSggbM5jEsjx4

[late folio]

From what I heard about BFV Firestorm, it just wasn't different enough from others, and you had to pay for it. This BR is free, so it should do better.

[hallow geode]

The looting was absolutely atrocious in firestorm

Everything else was mostly pretty great tbh

Destruction was awesome. Seeing the ring gradually destroy entire buildings as it closed in was cool as hell

Mind blowing that 2042 didn't incorporate this with the tornado

But yeah I say all that as someone that hates BR these days. Firestorm was a really nice change apart from the awful clunky looting. If they made it free to play It probably still would've died off just from the looting being so bad tho lol

[quiet plover]

A tornado as the border is a stretch

[frozen thorn]

What about a bunch of rats

[tidal hound]

Rats make me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. And rats make me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once.

[hidden compass]

https://tenor.com/view/rats-warning-a-plague-tale-requiem-gif-27220361

damn it.... .gif don't work.

[acoustic plume]

And the holy grail frostbite engine

not sure if bc2 had it

[hexed moth]

My clan has mainly backed out of bf6. It’s not clan oriented like bf3. Don’t think it ever be clan/team based. Times move on .

[frozen thorn]

Explain

[hexed moth]

We are a military clan. Started mainly with bf3. We are still together since 2009. BF3 had ladders, we had 2 rented servers we filled up with our own clan. No-one seems to be playing as active teams. No ladders or clan log. Good game but think better clan based games now. We had clan battles with no HUD. And one life. If you died you could only spectate.

[eternal nexus]

Black ops 7 looks so good. Can BF keep up?

[quasi breach]

sounds so fun especially with friends

[hexed moth]

I need to look into that. If it’s more a clan/team based game.

[eternal nexus]

It’s more military based vs battlefield

[quasi breach]

cod is more of a 5v5 smaller CQC type game

[eternal nexus]

Cod is more realistic

[quasi breach]

definitely not lol

[eternal nexus]

New one is

[quasi breach]

no it is not sir

[frozen thorn]

I think the assault class can carry ladders now

[eternal nexus]

Have u played it?

[quasi breach]

yes

[hexed moth]

Yeah, we have around 100+ members. Was a lot more at one point.

[quasi breach]

have you played it

[eternal nexus]

You are saying I’m wrong, so have u played it

[velvet kayak]

Feels a bit premature. My clan had been splintered over a few games since 2042 came out but all came back together for the BF6 Beta and eagerly waiting for the 10th.

Have concerns over no persistent servers / server browser on official servers and clan tags would have been nice but gonna give it a good go.

[quasi breach]

its not even out yet. but from the trailers. BF6 is definitely more grounded and realistic than bo7

[eternal nexus]

There’s leaked gameplay all over X. It’s superior to bf. The gameplay is much more realistic

[quasi breach]

I think we are getting persistant servers, no?

[eternal nexus]

Cod did that

[quasi breach]

why are you keep reacting to your own message 💀

[frozen thorn]

BF has been cooked by Call of Duty as the kids say

[eternal nexus]

That’s not me

[velvet kayak]

No, only in Portal

[eternal nexus]

Facts. Bf is a worst version of Cod. Just play Cod

[quasi breach]

oh yeah but there shouldn't be any difference between official servers or portal servers apart from the match making

[eternal nexus]

Call of duty has been around longer than battlefield. Battlefield is trying to copy what works. Call of duty was the inspiration for battlefield..

[velvet kayak]

We shall see - I predict coming online, spinning up a server and spending half your time trying to fill it or having to play against bots.

[quasi breach]

very likely. if there is somehow a way for the community to communicate in every major region, and get featured servers at the top of the list for the most played gamemodes, that could some what solve this

[sinful sedge]

god mornig,is or game open ?

[quasi breach]

what

[sinful sedge]

firesorm?

[velvet kayak]

I run a BF FB group with thousands of members, I could fill a community server on BFV - but only by planning the event in advance and giving days notice to members.

[sinful sedge]

faiersturm bf6? or 10okt?

[quasi breach]

are all of those people from your region?

[velvet kayak]

No, mostly EU & US but all over. I play in both EU & US.

[quasi breach]

how's the ping if you play in US

[velvet kayak]

On BFV only 89

[sinful sedge]

I from EU..swiss...

[velvet kayak]

I’m quarter Swiss

[quasi breach]

Do you feel any difference when playing in US servers as compared to EU ones?

[velvet kayak]

No, if ping not far over 100 it’s absolutely fine.

If you play in West Coast servers my ping is 150 (which you do feel the difference).

[quasi breach]

hm interesting, I might try to join EU servers when I get to play BF6 because BF playerbase in Asia is very small

[strong echo]

Can't wait any longer, I'm itching to play

[hexed moth]

🤔. Can you DM me your clan page pls. I’m thinking about if you will be doing a ladder for bf6. Or have a team for clan battles 😂.

[velvet kayak]

Sure

[faint lintel]

L rage bait 2/10

[eternal nexus]

It’s not hard to use google old man

[faint lintel]

What?

[eternal nexus]

Put your glasses on old man

[hexed moth]

Talking to some of my clan members, that’s something we are missing. If there is a competitive ladder of some style our clan would deffo be interested. That’s all that’s missing on our side. If there is a good third party ladder all good.

[eternal nexus]

My grandma is in a urn

[faint lintel]

I know

[hexed moth]

Oh, have we an argument starting, let me grab my popcorn…

[faint lintel]

Does the job for ur granny

[tame mortar]

Obvs its rage bait, but you would be right if you said battlefield is copying cod now

[eternal nexus]

I just checked. My grandma urn is still there, it’s my grandpas urn that’s missing

[delicate quartz]

fr, can't wait till we get some of our own inception knock off maps

[faint lintel]

Good thing I stuck it in both

[eternal nexus]

This man’s sick

I can’t even fit a dime in those urns

[winter atlas]

Considering Battlefield is an older franchise than Call of Duty, obviously it's ragebait.

[faint lintel]

Good thing I wasn’t putting a dime In there

[tame mortar]

Yeah but obviously battlefield later on tried to be more like call of duty due to call of duty being more popular

[eternal nexus]

Where’s my grandpa ashes

[faint lintel]

Under my bed

[winter atlas]

Both games have inspired each other, also both games have taken inspiration from other titles as well. It's the FPS way og making games.

[frozen thorn]

BF4 is like methadone

[faint lintel]

As long as we don’t have cartoons, cat girls and rappers in bf6 then I’m happy

[hexed moth]

Going a little towards COD doesn’t bother me. Times change, it’s what sells. But if i wanted a COD I would order it.

[tight prism]

Whoever you replied to I have blocked, so probably one of the many low effort ragebaiters, haha.

[tame mortar]

Honestly, I can't think of what call of duty took from battlefield other than ground war

[strong echo]

Bf4 ain't cutting it for me man, I need something stronger

[tame mortar]

Call of duty also redefined modern fps shooters funny enough

[frozen thorn]

2042 is like jankem

[strong echo]

I don't have 2042

[winter atlas]

Ground war, vehicles, destruction, squads, conquest, war stories etc. etc.

[frozen thorn]

Try some jankem and its like the same thing

[strong echo]

What's that

[tame mortar]

War stories? Destruction? Maybe in vanguard then they scrapped it. Vehicles and ground war is like the only thing that applies here

[frozen thorn]

You can look it up 👍

[tame mortar]

War stories you could say they took that from movies, which they did, they were inspired by War movies

[strong echo]

Well knowing u, that probably will put me on the FBI watchlist

[faint lintel]

Is phantom edition worth it?

[hexed moth]

For me bf3 was the balls, especially clan based. The rest are pretty urgh, hard work. 2042 I can’t even understand 🤣. I mean what was the point. Played V a few times, that’s not bad. Bf6 what I have played is far superior to COD or anything previously.

[strong echo]

If u got spare 20$ why not

[tame mortar]

Its not a bad thing that battlefield as a game took more inspirations as a whole, they tried something new

[tight prism]

"Anything worth purchasing is worth purchasing the best version of that you can."

[frozen thorn]

It does NOT turn you into a phantom, waste of money
