battlefield-6

[whole forge]

I played 4 matches today and gave up on life man

First 3 matches, good. We even turn one back from a solid loss to a win

[lean imp]

I hate the BP progression

Hopefully it’s not like that in BF6

[whole forge]

The 4th one sucked the soul out of me and made me beg to the game chat to end the match

[whole forge]

I hope not. Their intention for the free pass is to keep people playing until it ends

[willow lance]

2042 BPs are good tbh

[lean imp]

Oh good to know

[willow lance]

Regular 2042 BPs capped 1 dot progression's max XP requirement to 20K unlike this last BP, if BF6 BPs follows regular 2042 formula it should be good, weeklies + XP is a good compromise to finish BPs, way better than other BPs that solely relies on XP grind

[lean imp]

Yeah I guess

[dark owl]

I hope the map design in BF6 doesn't follow anything 2042 did, my gosh the map design in this game makes me really tired

[stoic jungle]

In the end this is EA, don't expect anything rewarding for the player

but they'll sell you the experience for an extra $$$

[neon gyro]

2042 maps were really big & bland bc the big teams 64 vs 64

[dark owl]

just don't make crazy LED powered sinks that make the game feel cringe and I'm okay with everything else

[willow lance]

Later maps were made for 64p too, they just aren't good

2042 has like 3 playable maps lmao, and one of them is actually good

[dark owl]

Which one is good?

[willow lance]

Redacted

Spearhead is largely good too tbh but it’s nothing special

[dark owl]

yeah this one is the only one where I'm not feeling like gravitating between empty open fields

but I still struggle to like this one as a map

and the objective placement is not downright bad like other maps

[willow lance]

Spearhead or redacted?

[dark owl]

redacted

[whole forge]

The maps that we have seen in beta were significantly different designed compared to 2042

[shrewd abyss]

Iwo Jima Breakthrough

[willow lance]

Bad BFV map that’s still bad in 2042

[shrewd abyss]

they were more vertical, and less spaced out, which also allowed for movement and positioning

[dark owl]

I tried to like this map
It looks pretty but doesn't do it for me

[shrewd abyss]

its chaotic and feels like a proper breakthrough

[ember fjord]

2042 is garbagio in general

[willow lance]

Iwo Jima BT is only good for ribbon farming

[shrewd abyss]

which is also good for points

im getting tons of points with a recon

[wraith canopy]

Hope they bring back maps like "operation underground" from BF5 and immersive, dynamic maps like some from BF4 was"caspian border" and "siege of shanghai" for example where you could destroy huge buildings to change the environment completely

Damn i miss this lol

[shrewd abyss]

Op Underground is basically Metro from BF3 styled for WW2, Caspian Border was from BF3 too, Siege of Shanghai is for BF4 only yes

[craggy tapir]

Levolution is likely not returning. They're doing an advanced version of BC2 destruction

So less big level-changing events and more gradual destruction

[shrewd abyss]

which im personally more fond of, its way more unpredictable and easier to manage

[whole forge]

Its also way more cooler because you know the map is dynamically affected instead of a set animation happening

[solemn shoal]

Guys, do you think BF6 will have any XP bug right at the start of the game? Like there was in Battlefield 2042’s Portal? I heard it’s going to have ranks up to 5000, and I wanted to farm XP to reach as high as possible early on. Do you think that’ll be possible?

[wraith canopy]

Oh really? Thats pretty sad tbh

[whole forge]

They said they will make it so creating XP farms will not be possible for 6 on Portal

[craggy tapir]

It also doesn't allow one team to make the map 10x worse just by blowing one thing up

[whole forge]

Which is also the reason why they are not fixing it for 2042

They are working on not allowing that type of “experience” being created on Portal side

[solemn shoal]

The community will find a way, they always do

[craggy tapir]

You'll still be able to create it. It just won't have exp turned on

[shrewd abyss]

which is also another point to add to "being able to obtain premium currency just by playing"

[granite lodge]

Every map on 2042 feels like it only has fights in certain areas like a funneling effect

[craggy tapir]

Someone might be able to change an approved gamemode they made to make it an exp farm but there's probably going to be a rule against it so they'd get banned/de-approved relatively quickly

[willow lance]

BF6 won't be actively debiliating/infuriating to play so no need to make XP farms

[whole forge]

That’s also true

[wraith canopy]

Uhm a set animation?
There was maps where you was able to blow up a dike to set the whole map underwater for example. How is that less dynamik than just destroyin buildings? Or the huge tower in the shanghai map which changed the capture point there completely
If that isn't dynamic then idk lol

Damn i really expected a real BF and not bf2042 in oldschool look..
I really hope there will be some surprises

[willow lance]

Levolution always happens exact same way, it's scripted destruction, BF6 destruction is dynamic, some of it is scripted though

[wraith canopy]

Some walls aren't destroyable at all, that is not dynamic

[willow lance]

That's deliberate, no need to turn the maps into windows XP background

[hallow geode]

Here's my two cents. If scripted levolution is not returning then allow us to topple gigantic skyscrapers ourselves. My issue is that we are left with neither.

What I mean is i'd rather have scripted levolution than just zero dynamic massive destruction

[wraith canopy]

Oh cmon, those where used by players for cover even if i used c5, thats still not dynamic, its all scripted

I remember one building nearby a capture point wasn't destroyable at all, doesn't matter what i tried lol

[hallow geode]

If we can't chip away at brooklyn bridge and eventually collapse it then just give us a scripted version of it. I hate not having one or the other

[willow lance]

Honestly I'm glad COD people are working on this BF because they are more interested in making a fun shooter than useless fluff like levolution 😂 Current destruction seems to impact gameplay way more than levolution ever did anyways, like how you can destroy the rooftops on firestorm to make yourself an opening to enter the building

[wraith canopy]

Cod is the worst ever lol but that explains your responses..

[hallow geode]

I'm fine to leave levolution behind but I'm gonna need a little more destruction to make up for it's absence. We'll see how the rest of the maps are with that

[willow lance]

https://x.com/Battlefield/status/1962893557968080922/photo/1

I mean, you can destroy rooftops to enter the buildings, that's far more dynamic than levolution

[shrewd abyss]

BF6 isnt BF2042 in MANY points and that is a great point

[shrewd abyss]

that's how it felt in BF3, remember Close Quarters expansion? Man the destruction there was great

[willow lance]

Destruction is simply a "nice to have" when it comes to making a good shooter, not a "must have" unlike good maps.

[hallow geode]

Yeah that does look pretty good. I just think there's plenty of walls and areas on maps like gibraltar where it doesn't need to be indestructible but it is

[shrewd abyss]

that is not true in Battlefield

BF set itself apart by being a more boots on the ground, teamplay enforced and with destructive environment

[wraith canopy]

Its not all about destruction yknow
But a lot sure

[shrewd abyss]

also, BFV build system when

[willow lance]

Destruction isn't even part of original BF games

[shrewd abyss]

regardless of that, it set itself apart from generic shooters with destruction

[hallow geode]

I do think the finals has screwed with people's perception on destruction a bit too much tho. Like some people expect wayyyy too much destruction from BF6 lol

[willow lance]

Siege also has destruction, and destruction in that game impacts gameplay far more than BF destruction, glad BF6 team is taking notes from that

[wraith canopy]

Original??
Do you know that hardware and technique was limited back in the day?

[willow lance]

1942,2,2142 didn’t had destruction destruction isn’t essential to make a good BF game

Most destruction fans wants BC2 destruction that allows them to turn the map into a flat wasteland for snipers and vehicles to farm anyways and they won’t stop until they get that 😂

[wraith canopy]

Yea as i said hardware and technique where just different? Those are old games lmao

However i don't mind to explain that further, read a book or google it or something 🙂 good day

[shrewd abyss]

nah, just get BF3 and BF4 levels of destruction, no need to level the map

[slender epoch]

I’m sure portal will have maps that we could completely demo

[river island]

i hope they add fun easter eggs to bf6

[reef bolt]

can they add fortnite building mechanics into bf6

[shrewd abyss]

nope, follow BFV example

so it adds to the destruction

[reef bolt]

i want to crank 90s on mirak valley /j

[molten halo]

i just want a dang teammate to know how to AA when i'm trying to use an attack jet to provide CAS

also og mw3 makes me really, really salty we can see manhattan from the playable map in bf6 but can't go there

[primal yacht]

That's me lol. Beta had me annoyed at times cuz i couldn't just blow what was in front of me away.

[sudden prism]

i cant wwait for the battlepass skins in bf6

im hyped

[granite lodge]

Btw for anyone using a 7.1 VIRTUAL (Before any nerds start kicking off) surround sound headset, what audio mode do you find the best? Because I know in some games some settings can be wonky

[glacial tinsel]

The true crazy season is now upon me

• KCD2 2nd dlc came out last week
• Borderlands 4 came out Friday
• Skate. Releases in 1 day
• AC Shadows expansion releases in just over 1 day
• Dying light the beast comes out in 4 days

And then after all of that is out Ghost of yotei will be coming out 2 weeks from then

• then battlefield 6 comes out a week after Yotei

I’m cooked

[quiet plover]

Silent hill f comes out on the 25

[sharp sigil]

All im looking forward to is Skate. Even with all the hate it's getting, it looks fun imo

[glacial tinsel]

Yeah idc about the hate tbh , I think it looks good

I don’t like the cartoon characters they have leaned towards but as long as the gameplay is similar to skate 3 then I’m happy

[quiet plover]

How much will skate be

[sharp sigil]

Free

[quiet plover]

Oh nice

I hope the ragdoll physics are still the same

[chilly shore]

hopefully we get to see guns from the JSDF in BF6

[mortal cliff]

What is that?

[lusty wyvern]

Trust me it isn't fun when every building is destroyed 5 minutes into the match

[chilly shore]

Japanese Self Defense Force

The Type 64

[rancid nacelle]

I'm Back

Did they fix Aircraft 🫡 ✈️

Or GTA better

[solemn shoal]

hey devs can we get 3 or 5 days campaing early acess

[rancid nacelle]

No

[wheat shell]

Yes it is fun, more destruction plz

[sudden prism]

those games kinda soulless tho except maybe kcd2

i have to see what skate is like

[mortal cliff]

Ohh

[tidal hound]

Imagine buying Unreal Slop 5 game, or an Ubisoft game

[kind snow]

What ?

[frail burrow]

BC2 destructions wasn't even that expansive. Most buildings that can be destroyed had debris fields and scaffolding that you can take cover in. Not to mention that all maps had props there were indestructible.

I think most of them just want more granular destruction e.g shooting small holes or making gradual destruction into buildings, fences, propers instead of having pre-set destruction. BF3, 3 and V already had this but they somehow forgot how to do it after 2042 lol.

[chilly shore]

I regret buying Siege

I wish I could refund it several years later

[umbral rune]

Just preordered BF6 phantom disc edition for PS5, LETS GO

Its been a bit since I've preordered a game (MW2)

[kind snow]

I pre order nearly every game, i have 9 games pre ordered right now.

[frozen thorn]

cringe

[kind snow]

Cringe for not being broke ?

[exotic gulch]

Less than a month left and the only game I’ve been playing has been helldivers lol

[exotic gulch]

Cringe cuz its not the smartest decision

[tidal hound]

Cringe for not having standards

[kind snow]

Im on steam, i can refund anything i want, either way its under $100 so i could care less about preordering games.

[tidal hound]

Only game even worth considering pre-ordering right now is bf6. Nothing else is worth it or too far from release

[ionic burrow]

Why y’all so worried about what other people do with their money? It ain’t yours, so why do you care? 🤔

Shits weird.

[kind snow]

[tidal hound]

I already pre-ordered black ops 10

[tight prism]

If it seems good and you would probably get it anyway, the bonuses they include(and will always do so as others will where you do not) if they appeal to you is reason enough. Sometimes you are wrong, othertimes you are right. Sometimes a refund is possible, sometimes not.

Either way, everyone spends how they wish.

[tidal hound]

I dont even have 9 soon upcoming games i have any interest to play, let alone pre-order

Only have Silent Hill f

Of course theres games like Pragmata, but who knows when that's releasing

[glacial tinsel]

Yeah I agree and all but Imagine if I actually asked

[kind snow]

I guess i just know more games then you.

[frozen thorn]

Cringe for being open to giving potentially shady publishers funding to not have to have a functioning product on release

[kind snow]

If the game is under 5/10 ill refund ?

They get no money before the 30 day timer so no im not giving money to any "shady" publisher.

[frozen thorn]

How many preorder refunds do you think happened with 2042 vs the ones who kept it and signaled to EA they are 100% ok with the state of the game on release

[kind snow]

Ok ? What does what other people do have to do with me.

If its bad ill refund, i could care less what other people do.

[tidal hound]

They get pre-order numbers.
I bet you are planning on buying those $1000 costumes in Where winds meet

[frozen thorn]

A pre-order still gets sent out as a stat for interest, canceled or not.

[glacial tinsel]

Couldn’t *

[kind snow]

I couldn't care less about the trash skins in that game,

[lyric rose]

This game needs to drop already

[mint fern]

Ngl i hope that maybe dice will make hardcore playlists a thing in the standard game instead of going to portal for hardcore all the time

[glacial tinsel]

Why do you spend $1000s on skins ?

[kind snow]

What skins ?

[mint fern]

I say this because while the gameplay is fun and the maps are cool looking, most people wait in severely long queues for specific matches. I mean i did when i played the beta, and since dice isnt really working with a standard server browser outside of portal. People might just flock there i think.

[glacial tinsel]

It doesn’t matter about individual skins you are buying
But I’m just asking why tho??

[mint fern]

And by queues i just mean waiting for people to fill the game or just for a match fitting those requirements

[kind snow]

And who said i bought a $1000 skin ?

[glacial tinsel]

Read up they said something like that and you are trying to justify paying that

I mean it’s your money bro but that’s crazy to spend that much money on skins , you crazy man

[kind snow]

"I couldn't care less about the trash skins"

Did you perhaps not read the message ?

[glacial tinsel]

Nah before that bro
I mean I won’t hate on you for spending that much but I feel like you going abit over the top for just 1 game

[shrewd abyss]

"Because i'd rather pay for those than pay for DLC's" is one of the possible answers

[kind snow]

You know that game isnt even out right ?

[glacial tinsel]

@kind snow wild right he really be dropping all that money on skins

Labs

[kind snow]

Ah your trolling.

[glacial tinsel]

You’re * and no I’m not trolling

[kind snow]

So where did i say i spent $1000 on skins ?

[glacial tinsel]

I won’t keep bringing it up if it’s getting you annoyed bro but all I said was you’re crazy for it

I didn’t mean to get you annoyed

[kind snow]

So you are trolling then.

[glacial tinsel]

No I’m not man I’m just dropping it as I see you got annoyed sorry man

[kind snow]

Annoyed at what? Im just talking.

[glacial tinsel]

I’m sorry man I’ll drop it

[kind snow]

No problem buddy.

[blazing moon]

Bro has gotta be the worst ragebaiter of the 21st century or sumn shit

[kind snow]

Who knows, some people find it funny i guess. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[deep folio]

I just watched absolute cinema unfold

[blazing moon]

Dudes the geek harbour butcher

[true pier]

If a mod or someone who works for dice is reading this I would be very interested in playing the battlefield labs and testing the battle Royale I think I could offer quiticential feedback to the game modes battle Royale being a BFV Firestormer myself since day 1 till now in 2025. So 6 years of firestorm and not just on PC but I've played BFV Firestorm on PS4, Xbox. And I've been playing battle Royale since pubg. And I never bothered touching warzone because that game is pretty trash compared to Battlefield's unmatched battle royale potential. It's so unique and insane with the plethora of vehicles, stationary guns, unmatched gunplay, and armor system. So if anyone's reading this that's higher up or just someone's reading this can thumbs it up so it gets to the right people because I've had a passion for firestorm from the beginning and even when the community talked trash I still and many others in the firestorm community stuck true to the game mode over the years.

[tight prism]

I am sure you put your heart and soul into that,

The shadows do not care though.

You can sign up and hope you are selected.

[kind snow]

Mods aren't allowed recommend someone for battle field labs, not even streamers can get picked just because of there frame, its fully random just hope you get accepted.

[tight prism]

Oh they can talk in chat, they like to periodically do so to assert dominance talking like this while doing almost nothing to benefit the community.

But their uselessness aside, they are not the playtest selectors anyway.

While not strictly BF6 related, I will forever lament that Hyperkin's Duke Controller has a longstanding issue they have never fixed where the trigger gets stuck after minimal use.

I have come to refer to the lazy bums who never PTFO as overfed goldfish, just goldfish for short.

Because they have the urgency of an overfed goldfish.

[runic venture]

dont worry its out to play in 3 weeks 👍

[runic venture]

ah yes my most favorite mod

[tight prism]

He is still here you know.

[runic venture]

always lurking

[tight prism]

He has to talk like this because it makes him feel powerful when in fact nobody cares.

[frozen thorn]

He took a dump at Subway

[runic venture]

cant wait to save recker with pac and hannah in bf6

[true pier]

I don't think the battle Royale is coming out on launch

[runic venture]

why wouldn't it

[true pier]

The last battle Royale didn't come till like 4 months after launch

[runic venture]

if they are making it free this time around it would make sense to release with the launch to lure in more buyers

[tall zinc]

no it would be a terrible idea

[true pier]

Yeah but even warzone didn't come out till January after modern warfare 2019 came out

[runic venture]

milk it while the hype is at its peak

[tall zinc]

why would they release a mode which competes for players for the main multiplayer when they want people to become invested?

[runic venture]

because its free, its a marketing tool for people to buy the actual game

[true pier]

Well like someone said at dice when bfv came out and firestorm then released you get bored of the BR then you jump right back into multiplayer and vice versa

[tall zinc]

no it's not, the people playing the BR are not the same as the multiplayer

[frozen thorn]

Signs point to season 1 in December

[tall zinc]

the amount of so called cross ventures from warzone to the main multiplayer are a tiny fraction

[runic venture]

People are capable of playing both, you aren't locked into one thing

[tall zinc]

yeah "people" doesn't matter when it's a tiny cohort

[true pier]

Well at least the battle Royale will be cross play and free so it'll bring in a lot of players but

[tall zinc]

it's not happening anyways Byron will be emulating what he did with warzone for this in a similar manner

[true pier]

The only bad thing is cheaters there'll be a shit ton of cheaters

[faint lintel]

🇮🇳?

[frozen thorn]

I said Subway, not on the overcrowded train

[molten halo]

yeah, i'm convinced the entire reason people are toxic in 2042 is because theyre mad because the game is awful

like i just got single handedly blamed, in a 128 game, for our team losing by 1000 points

[faint lintel]

Anyone preordered yet?

[frozen thorn]

Shoulda got 10 more kills

[kind snow]

Yes, the 100$ edition on 4 accounts.

[faint lintel]

Why on 4 accounts, so u can sell them?

[kind snow]

Sell them for what ?

[faint lintel]

Money

[kind snow]

Phantom edition isnt going anywhere lmao.

[faint lintel]

But why on 4 accounts

[kind snow]

For my own use.

[faint lintel]

Why not have one account I’m just curious

Kidding

[late folio]

Just incase the other three don't work.

[chilly shore]

wait wrong channel

[mortal cliff]

Silly

[chilly shore]

tho imagine if we can see some of the 2042 crew in the campaign, maybe Falck herself at her peak

since BF6 takes place before 2042 if I'm correct

atleast lorewise

[mortal cliff]

I think it would make sense a reference like a character like the grandfather or something

Just like a ester egg

[chilly shore]

I guess so

maybe having Falck tending to the injured in the background

[mortal cliff]

Or like a generation of a militar family

[chilly shore]

that could work too

[mortal cliff]

Just a ester egg is gonna be really interesting

I wish for the campaign so much, i think is the only reason i want to play battlefield 6

[chilly shore]

wouldn't it be funny if they added a little fourth wall break in the form of a Battlefield game in the in-game universe

called it"Fieldbattle" in the in-game universe

[frozen thorn]

Thats what 2042 is

[chilly shore]

or in the form of an in-universe advertisement called "FieldBattle 4220" or "Fieldbattle Good Company 3"

[mortal cliff]

I don't understand what you say exactly

[chilly shore]

Here we have Battlefield, in the BF universe it's the exact opposite

kinda like Tarkov making references to other games

or BFHL making reference to the Dead Space Series in the campaign

by showing a guy playing it moments before we either kill, cap or just left alone

[mortal cliff]

Ohh that is fine i think, i think all battlefield happend in the same universe so is not crazy to say in a dialogue like (I'm going to fight like (elite squad in the campaing of battlefield 4))

[chilly shore]

neebsgaming

I like the cameo of the 2 soldier in one part of the campaign

[mortal cliff]

Yeah

Or maybe something like, (damn you hear the news about the private security in miami? That's tuff) battlefield hardline reference

[chilly shore]

or a guy say "what's the Battlefield For?

[mortal cliff]

Is funny and tbh i would like something like that in a moment of a campaign, is not weird is just there

[chilly shore]

then another guy ask "say that again"

or even a background soldier screaming promoted somewhere

[chilly shore]

what about a guy referencing the Battlefield 6 Open beta

sounding disappointed when a war broke out before the game even released

[mortal cliff]

Mmm fine! Is just there and is nothing weird

[mortal cliff]

That would be cool or just a reference to whatever

[chilly shore]

like "Goddamit, I was hyped up for a game before the war, the Open beta was amazing, I waited for so long only for a war to break out now the game was delayed"

on an unrelated note, I'm finally at Tier 54 in the BP

[mortal cliff]

Congratulations!!! I'm happy for you

[mortal cliff]

That sound good, i already imagine a scene with that

[chilly shore]

just a few more left and I can finally cancel my EA Play

[unique arrow]

are you talking about BF6 release date? it got delayed?

[chilly shore]

no it didn't get delayed, I was hoping that the campaign will add a little reference to the BF6 open beta

[unique arrow]

ahh my heart almost exploded now

[chilly shore]

I put the """ for a reason

[unique arrow]

im exited about campaign, but first i gonna tryhard my ass off

[chilly shore]

I'm nearly done with the Battlepass

6 more left until 60

[unique arrow]

GG bro i did it through AFK servers lol took only 2 weeks

[chilly shore]

I did it from multiple sources

[mortal cliff]

Oh man i love genshin impact

[kind snow]

Try zzz.

[mortal cliff]

I do it, i love that game!

[ancient wedge]

at what hour does week 5 of the free pass release?

[calm badger]

I think 8am est

[blazing mango]

Do you guys actually enjoy BF2042?

I see a lot of people hating that they have to play the game itself to get the unlocks. But I personally have been enjoying the game a lot.

[velvet kayak]

It’s the only BF I’ve disliked

[blazing mango]

Really? Why is that

I think it’s an overall fun game. It’s not phenomenal by any means but it scratches the itch.

[velvet kayak]

So many reasons

[blazing mango]

As in?

My personal complaint is that a lot of the maps are bad. Iwo Jima is good though

[chilly shore]

Gameplaywise fun from time to time, optimisation wise, I hate it

[blazing mango]

The game’s improved a lot since release though right?

[velvet kayak]

Whenever there are more than four of us on, it’s a headache to get in a decent game together

[urban robin]

Wuthering waves better

[kind snow]

And zzz even better then both.

[knotty grotto]

Zzz animations

[urban robin]

Then

[knotty grotto]

Kj’s pfp always checks out

Fits perfect

[mortal cliff]

Sillys @knotty grotto @urban robin

[knotty grotto]

@mortal cliff Get pinged

[mortal cliff]

I'm going to sleep, i stay awake for helping my parents, I'm tired

[knotty grotto]

Arent we all

Cryosleep

Good for people waiting for bf6

[kind snow]

Dying light the beast comes out in under 24 hours x3.

[knotty grotto]

So in under 24h, people will unleash their beast? Got it

[kind snow]

X3.

[sudden prism]

i thought we had 100s of dying lights

[hexed moth]

Went on it a few times. Even though it’s free on ps+ it’s terrible. They are just trying to make it a bit more popular with the BF6 passes you can get. I can’t even play it for that lol. Only 23 days to go.

[frank dust]

2,229,900 seconds remaining until Battlefield 6

[spark drift]

no.

[hexed moth]

Any groups gonna make a clan ladder?
If so pls DM me. My clan is looking for a ladder system. Will have to be third party as EA totally forgot about clans lol. I might be setting one up. But don’t want loads of ladders really.

I’ll be choosing console only when playing. What’s everyone else thinking.

[reef bolt]

i hope bf6 has weather

would be cool to play rainy or stormy maps

[sudden prism]

i hope bf6 doesn't have battlepasses

[frozen thorn]

It will

[kind snow]

It does.

[knotty grotto]

It will have br aswell

🅱️ a🅱️ 🅱️ lefiel🅱️ 6

[scarlet cave]

BR can be fun tbh

[knotty grotto]

Lets hope they wont neglect mp

Weve seen this before

[late osprey]

Do we know what time BF6 will release October 10th?

I'm wondering if its worth booking the day off work, but if it comes out 5pm my time, no point 😄

[scarlet cave]

not worth

it will be ques and ques, like just wait for evening.

[knotty grotto]

300k waiting

[late osprey]

But if I'm first.... :L My hope would be its like the beta, they handled the queues really well. I think I only waited max 10 minutes

I'm a fool, I forget theres a countdown in BF2042 launcher 😂

[lean imp]

It’s gonna be Friday anyway, I think it’ll launch around evening

[late osprey]

Seems like it will be 4pm my time, no point booking an hour off of work 😄

[lean imp]

Phantom edition already got a season token for BP

[hexed moth]

I’ve booked the following week off work. It may take that long to get on a server 🤣. It’s gonna be a mad one.

And pre-ordered my pre-order phantom again as I cancelled it

[plush sierra]

DICE are idiots.

The Beacon should have been a reacon, not an assault !

[lean imp]

Might end up playing the bo7 beta and some BF6 mp

Good thing the BF6 Battle Royale will come post launch

[knotty grotto]

Recon will have nuke /j

[lean imp]

With the BP seasons might just end up doing afk grinds on portal

I still need to play Silent Hill f and maybe Borderlands 4 if it ever get stable

[hexed moth]

It’s just the mp I’m looking forward to. Not really interested in BR. But nice to have the option.

[knotty grotto]

1 move and the fps drops by 10

[lean imp]

I think it’ll be better than Warzone but we’ll see

[lean imp]

Most UE5 games are waste of time and money damn I wish I have refunded Borderlands 4

[knotty grotto]

Real fans wouldnt refund

[hexed moth]

Yes. I do think so with what I have heard and seen.

[lean imp]

Yeah true and it’s cheaper anyway due to regional pricing

Same as BF6, the Phantom Edition here costs only like 70-80 usd bucks equivalent plus the EA Play discount

[burnt stone]

The exact time is <t:1760108400:t>

[lean imp]

Ok good to know thanks

[faint lintel]

Opinions on that leaked green skin?

[frozen thorn]

I put in a PTO request because Im maxed out anyways so I need to get rid of it anyhow

[hexed moth]

Which time zone is that?

[frozen thorn]

Yours

[lean imp]

There are more “weird” skins like the paintball like ones with the flames stuff

Anyway they still look like milsim stuff so no problem

[burnt stone]

That timestamp should automatically convert the time to your time zone

[hexed moth]

Thanks. 🙏

[faint lintel]

Which ones are you referring to?

[lean imp]

The one in the BF labs leaks where there’s the skins with them helmets and torso got flames art

Just check BF Reddit you will see it

[hexed moth]

Green skin? I’m not running around looking like the goblin. It is a toned down green?

[lean imp]

It’s kinda neon or bright green accents on mostly black uniform soldier skin (looks like ACH helmet and IOUT armor vest or whatever)

Like a mix of tapes and spray

[hexed moth]

Hmmm. 🤔

[trail willow]

Can we get touchpad swipes for ps controllers?

[lean imp]

Ngl it looks like a monster energy skin or nvidia maybe

[hexed moth]

That’s to release the MOAB when you’ve had enough 😂

[faint lintel]

I can’t find the flame one

[hexed moth]

No please. 🙁

[late osprey]

Same, I usually end up needing to take loads of days in December. And I can't even take any of the following week off after Oct 10th as I'm on-call 🙁

[lean imp]

Not exactly flames I think just red streaks or whatever

[faint lintel]

You mean the deluxe edition phantom squad ones?

[lean imp]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1mx18g4/nato_skin_variants_datamined_by_1bf/

[faint lintel]

Those all look good to me I just think the one neon green one is a little odd

[lean imp]

Yeah but tbh I don’t mind the neon green/black skin either

I think if we ever get a jungle map or one with lots of vegetation it can be handy

[faint lintel]

Ya it’s not horrible

[lean imp]

The Phantom squad skins are already not conventional anyway (they look like the soap operator pack or Makarov’s pmcs in mw3 with the red and black color scheme) but they look awesome so np

[faint lintel]

The phantom squad ones are badass

[scarlet cave]

looks like cod skins

[frozen thorn]

Reddit really saw "For a while" and threw a hissy fit

[faint lintel]

Doesn’t look like ninja turtles and Nicki Minaj to me 🤷‍♂️

[sharp sigil]

you could argue all the skins look like cod skins

[scarlet cave]

core skins look best atm

[faint lintel]

Do u mean default

[scarlet cave]

ye

[frozen thorn]

Hope they allow you to choose body type

[scarlet cave]

i would make very obese 60 year old man if that possible

[frozen thorn]

No just picking from the character models available

[faint lintel]

Like chick bodies and dude bodies?

[frozen thorn]

Yeah, I feel like you can tell what the class is based on the gear

They have open weapons, so lets have open characters

[lean imp]

Yeah I think the real problem is the nonsensible and silly collabs

If they make em look badass and more serious, gritty and fitting with the seasons, it’ll be great

Like say Punisher or Peacemaker or Blade in CoD? Why not, I’m ok with that

With BF if they do collabs with War films/series it’s also ok

[faint lintel]

I liked the The Boys and walking dead collab in cod but the rest felt weird

[sharp sigil]

I want a beavis and butthead collab

[lean imp]

I like the characters but they definitely dont belong to CoD even if theyre a mature cartoon Show

[frozen thorn]

The issue with that is when you put some of these characters in the game, if you dont give them a cheesy one liner, catchphrase, or reference to their work, it will be boring and a waste of effort. If you do, then it will be immersion breaking.

[sharp sigil]

Its definitely goofy

[tough ermine]

Release game already dude

Hope everyone having great Monday ✌️

[lean imp]

Yeah

But some characters can fit but some cannot

The collabs arent the problem, it’s the choice of collabs

I dont mind the Ballerina collab, I just dont like the American Dad/Beavis collabs

But lets be real CoD will just need to put a Sydney Sweeney skin and theyll be in good terms with the community /s

[tight prism]

rip bozo

[frozen thorn]

How can you put in a Ballerina / John Wick charcter in a war setting?

[faint lintel]

I’m only in 2 servers, this and the helldivers one and this is a lot more calm

[tight prism]

honestly don't even let EA/DICE be tempted with collabs or slightly too fancy skins, they'll just keep moving the goalposts - I think I only trust arrowhead with collabs lmao

[quiet plover]

Y’all think games that have ridiculous skins should have a setting that defaults them into the default skins

[faint lintel]

Ya I don’t want collabs in bf

[tight prism]

like, helldivers is somewhat absurd in its premise and universe, but the devs are keeping the collabs super thematic

[lean imp]

Well in CoD tbf you cannot but theyre badass and use guns so it’s alright for me

With BF I’m ok with collabs with War films or whatever, something that show military stuff even if not open warfare

Like for example Sicario or Terminal List

[tight prism]

i.e. ODST was inevitable, but both a helldiver and odst are literally special forces with a future military aesthetic who drop behind enemy - alien - lines with semi advanced tech to do some damage

[sharp sigil]

Has bf ever had any collabs?

[tight prism]

no, and let's hope it remains that way

[sharp sigil]

I agree. They dont need them.

[lean imp]

I guess just some ads and in universe crossovers like the Dead Space event with the thematic skins

[chilly shore]

how many hours till the next weekly mission goes up

[faint lintel]

In helldivers universe they play halo on super earth and a company decided to make armor for the helldivers to buy and use

[frozen thorn]

Imagine a Jarhead collab and your character says "SIR, I GOT LOST ON THE WAY TO COLLEGE, SIR!!!!"
Yeah, real thematic.

[void crow]

Hopefuly there's an option to toggle off skins (at least in portal).

Having skins in br is less a issue for me tho.

[tight prism]

yeah that's right, they even had an in universe explanation for it, and it was some hilarious name instead of halo for the game

honestly ea and dice should just focus on doing battlefield well (which is what they seem to have realised with 6, but execs are too excited for shovelling inappropriate content) and if they really want absurd skins, collabs, etc for the money farm just make a new IP that suits it

[lean imp]

Some skins can be difficult in hardcore when you have to memorize skins but I think the pax armata have that elite paramilitary/pmc vibe while nato based off the skins leaks got various skins from military gear to guerilla/civ tactical gear and paintball-like/airsoft gear so it can be all over the place

So having the option to only allow default skins would be great

[tall zinc]

the odst warbond in helldivers sucks anyways so nothing lost

[tight prism]

saves face and pleases the market segment that is desiring the actual battlefield experience while allowing them to experiment with another market segment and the absurd collabs/customisation

instead it seems a fair few businesses want to alienate their original customer base while attempting to move to another and simultaneously farm revenue

[lean imp]

If they wanna do collabs just collab with real defense contractors and gear manufacturers

Product placement the game

[tall zinc]

theyve already done collabs numerous times anyways

[void crow]

There is. And tbh i'd turn it on for the enemy to, as you said, be able to quickly spot friends from ennemies. There are at least 3 sub factions with different default skins

[tall zinc]

https://imgur.com/a/nba35Vw small reminder of what those collabs were

same goes for i am legend the movie

[sharp sigil]

Hell yeah. Id wanna shoot my remington 700 in game lol

[lean imp]

Yeah those real life ads will add more immersion and realism so it’s fine tbh

[fiery oxide]

ew

[tall zinc]

https://imgur.com/a/YDTykO7

[sudden prism]

if this game has battlepass then its no better than playing bo7

you understand malu

[steel sundial]

when the new missions? its 6am monday

[lean imp]

Taran tactical Glock skins, Camelbak hydration packs, Oakley tactical eyewear etc.

[sharp sigil]

Im bored of call of duty. I think it'll be better.

[sudden prism]

thats how they get you

[fiery oxide]

in 2hrs

[sharp sigil]

Didnt bf2042 have a battlepass?

[tight prism]

battlepasses are an industry standard for any sort of MMO or loosely "MMO" nowadays, as unfortunate as it is I wouldnt use it as a prereq for buying a game

[steel sundial]

bf is not even close to being an mmo, its an fps

[tight prism]

loosely "MMO" meaning lots of players playing online together

[lean imp]

Battle passes are made for player retention because of the grind

Also additional monetization opportunities with the premium versions and ofc tier or BP level skips

There’s also the fomo aspect with the cool skins and unlocks

[tight prism]

in a multiplayer centric game

[hexed moth]

I’ve never played COD in my life.
I can’t comment on any of that.
The more I hear about it. The less I want to have a go. BF all the way.

[steel sundial]

mmos are eq1&2, wow, gw2 (barely)

pantheon

[tight prism]

mmo has expanded on its original meaning

[frozen thorn]

If its something weekly I can spend 2-3 hours completing then it wont be so bad. Deep Rock Galactic has one and it is extremely generous and you have access to older seasons at any time now. Dailys are cancer, I am not logging in every day to play your damn game

[steel sundial]

UNLOCK THE NEW MISSIONS !!!!!

[tight prism]

the "older seasons" method is being added by reasonable devs - in an attention economy a lot of businesses are forgetting attention, is indeed, limited

[steel sundial]

LES GOOOOO

[sharp sigil]

The Finals also has this. I like it

[knotty grotto]

Fomooooo

[tight prism]

so the "older seasons" method was inevitable, but also highly beneficial for the consumer, yet the uptake is somewhat slow as businesses don't want to admit their customer base has forms of attention that lie outside of their own products

[knotty grotto]

Helldivers used to also do the same as drg, but then they decided to add bp items to limited time shop, its not fomo friendly anymore (and its still happening)

[tight prism]

it's switched back now

[knotty grotto]

Ok where is that killzone weapon

Only
Seen warrant a few times in the shop, that ar is nowhere to be seen

[faint lintel]

To be fair they did say they’re bringing the kill zone stuff back soon

[tight prism]

planned, but the way they built it originally supported limited time so they're going to re release the killzone stuff as a new battlepass

[knotty grotto]

They got so much backlash they gave the other items for free and now rotate a few weapons

[frozen thorn]

Attention, like money, is indeed limited. Thats why media brands are competing to squeeze every last drop out of you

[knotty grotto]

How long ago was this? Killzone collab was months ago iirc

[tight prism]

exactly, attention is the new currency that businesses compete over

[knotty grotto]

Atleast they learned with the halo warbond

Id rather pay 500 more but get the stuff on normal pace

[faint lintel]

I told myself I wasn’t gonna fall for the preorder again after 2042 and then I had way too much fun on the beta

[frozen thorn]

Some devs adding the ability to back track and complete previous battlepass stuff care about their players(rare) or realize they need to get that sweet spot so you still get burnt out and complain, but still choose to play.

[knotty grotto]

I think drg is the most player friendly in that regard

[tight prism]

when too many parties are competing for attention, what do you do? move some of the attention requirement components of your product out of that requirement

[knotty grotto]

Dont think ive heard a single negative thing about the games monetisation

[tight prism]

it works because its money + attention, so just axe the attention bit

[frozen thorn]

Yeah, makes the "easy" alternative to give your money instead of time. Nothing new here, but still interested in what BF6's plan will be

Its like a methadone clinic hiring a heroine dealer to hang around outside

[dark owl]

I mean it is EA at the end of the day, they'll find a way to screw up

[frozen thorn]

I think Ive stayed away from online gaming for long enough to be somewhat optimistic about it. Maybe EA will grab the lube this time around instead of going in dry.

[hexed moth]

Ouch, dry?

[frozen thorn]

With sandpaper protection

[molten halo]

So I know what the straight pull bolt is in battlefield but what's the difference irl

[hexed moth]

Barbwire knickers

[frozen thorn]

For us to wear, yes

[molten halo]

Ea usually hands out pumice stone tp

[frozen thorn]

More like a handful of gravel

[molten halo]

The beta alone was better than 2042

And Vince zempella will probably deliver a good campaign

[tall zinc]

you know its been confirmed for months to have oine right?

[molten halo]

Although that badlands map looks questonable

I only saw rush though and I only play conquest

[frozen thorn]

Questionable in what way

[molten halo]

Flat and open

Random fires don't count as cover

[frozen thorn]

From the footage i saw it looked leik there was enough cover or at least hilly terrain that could cover from long range sightings

[reef cliff]

Guys can you make 120 player custom server in bf6?

[frozen thorn]

I also find it funny we have footage from thing that are months out, yet nothing on Manhattan Bridge or Saints Quater

[frozen thorn]

Probably

[molten halo]

Anything in Manhattan proper?

[frozen thorn]

Nope just Dumbo and under the bridge

[molten halo]

Maps like kaleidoscope and hourglass are teases

And that map from the beta too
I want inner city

Let me fly a Huey through harlem

[frozen thorn]

I wanna fly a jet into the financial district

[knotty grotto]

Uhm

[molten halo]

Maybe Manhattan is permanently off limits because of that thing that happened over 20 years ago

[timid otter]

i cant wait to play the game omg

[knotty grotto]

Still no animated rendezook sticker

[frozen thorn]

I will fulfil my wishes in Portal Mode

[molten halo]

My cat just turned my PS5 on

[knotty grotto]

Its a sign

[molten halo]

She also almost always turns my CPAP on as soon as it's on my face too

Never seen an animal understand how to technology like she does

[knotty grotto]

Gifted cat

[deep glade]

Should j quit my job to play BF6?

[molten halo]

Third gen in my house

[knotty grotto]

Bro what are all these questions💀

[dark owl]

my cat knows that if I'm not really paying attention to him, if he presses the ps5 power button my attention will be drawn

[knotty grotto]

Cat will just meow hard

Cat likes meow (and playing)

[dark owl]

my cat almost never meows, he finds other ways to ask for attention

[molten halo]

Mine literally screams repeatedly instead of meowing

[knotty grotto]

Also gl with the zoomies

[tight prism]

its hilarious that you can say this out of context nowadays and it has many interpretations

[knotty grotto]

Wait new name?

[molten halo]

She goes "aaaa aaaaa aaa" instead of meowing

[tight prism]

yeah just reflected my BF name instead of another game name

[knotty grotto]

Intel changed

[molten halo]

My IGN is howlofthepossum

[knotty grotto]

Rules of engagement have changed: if someone else cant be laciXO, you are laciXO

[tight prism]

at least you know to better c4 my TOR

[knotty grotto]

Fire thinking

[knotty grotto]

Your what?

[tight prism]

it's long... sturdy... has a lot of energy
the railgun tank!

[knotty grotto]

U mean from 2042?

[tight prism]

the TOR is fire, I've loved all the railguns in BF games, but I was shit with the Rorsch MK1 from BF4 Final stand as I was on console then

[tight prism]

Yeah

[molten halo]

Is the v280 in bf6

[knotty grotto]

I barely used it

Ive unlocked fire grenades for mav recently

[dark owl]

am I pink yet?

[knotty grotto]

Can it 1 shot heli’s?

[tight prism]

mav is a ton of fun on Iwo jima 24/7

[dark owl]

oh nice

[tight prism]

no, but the two shot is easy with the MAUL (heavy railgun)

[knotty grotto]

U think

Stealth heli also gets spammed

[astral zenith]

Why the fuck do we need a br

[knotty grotto]

We had 4 helis outside on the last sector in breakthough to deal with

[dark owl]

no one asked for it, but they pushed it anyway

[tight prism]

oh god, the stealth heli is my dream, but I've played it like twice or three times before putting it down, it was almost too easy and farm simulator-ey. I'd rather go 40-10 with an M5A3 than 80-2 in a stealth helo

[dark owl]

I think they're trying to compete with cod in every aspect

[acoustic plume]

A 10 year sales target plan

[tight prism]

if only they weren't 10 years late

[knotty grotto]

Somehow everyone can 1 shot me with recoiless so ye heli is a no for me, otherway around i cant take em down most of the time

And lockon doesnt work cuz they spam flares and stealthmode

[deep glade]

Don’t fly close to ground😏

[tight prism]

again, my infantry skills are fairly good, and I'm fire with vehicles, but on Iwo I'd rather play infantry because the stealth helo gameplay is almost braindead

[knotty grotto]

Is 3km up good?

Cuz somehow they still can 1 shot me from everywhere

[deep glade]

No, you need to be on board the ISS

[knotty grotto]

Explains

[tight prism]

honestly lis missiles are more of a threat if you don't fly like you're lawnmowing, and then you just learn to barrel roll

[deep glade]

Haha yep, you gotta flip that bird

[tight prism]

that and any annoyed player with enough brain cells to use the C-RAM once you're too committed

[dark owl]

Murphy's law, only works when it's the enemy trying

[deep glade]

C RAM is the biggest deterrent for Helis

Only if you don’t get killed on the ground within 2 seconds

[astral zenith]

They got the influence from those cod streamers smh.. no one wants a br it ruins the core of the game

[tight prism]

the biggest issue is a player in a stealth helo who is skilled - knows lockon/firing ranges, stays at altitude, keeps near obstacles, knows the C-RAM locations, has a gunner and can take on other helos
plus strafe TOR tanks on the odd occasion someone like me appears

[molten halo]

Why is the bf6 attack jet an f16

[acoustic plume]

oh?

[molten halo]

Not a warthog

[dark owl]

listening to most of the streamers is the worst mistake they can make

[deep glade]

I got some bad news for you

[tight prism]

Fair bet the A10 + SU25 will be added later, like the littlebird

[deep glade]

Not a battlefield if it doesn’t have the A10

[dark owl]

I mean ok they give publicity to the game but man... Only shit comes out they mouth

[deep glade]

3, 4 and now 2042 has it

[molten halo]

As long as I get the v280 with gun pods and the ac130

[tight prism]

if 2042 included all three, BF6 set in 2027 will near certainly add the A10, SU25 and Littlebird

[deep glade]

The AC130 is useless lol

[molten halo]

We had it in bf3

[tight prism]

you mean the BF4 flying wet tissue box?

[deep glade]

It lasted a solid 20 seconds in the air in 4

[molten halo]

Make it a gunship

[deep glade]

Because it’s literally a flying target lol

No defence

[tight prism]

when it lost its hp in 4 it literally vanished anticlimatically in the air like tissue paper

[deep glade]

I know

[astral zenith]

I know right

[molten halo]

At least the v280 makes sense as the prequel to the condor

Maybe make it good this time

[deep glade]

What do you want it to be

[acoustic plume]

Viewpoints and decisions are so tainted i could vomit🤣

[molten halo]

The condor but make it not feel like piloting a brick

[knotty grotto]

BaTtLeRoYaLe

[deep glade]

Well I think it’s fair in its handling

It’s a large aircraft with dual rotors. Not supposed to be as nimble as the UH 60

[molten halo]

Going vtol at all is a death sentence

[dark owl]

I mean even warzone itself has been in a downward spiral lately, they're trying to be the saviors of what?

[knotty grotto]

Saviours of mtx

[molten halo]

I also want the tank destoyera from bf3 and rocket truck from bf4 back

[worn marten]

And not be the meta vehicle for 1.5 years

[knotty grotto]

Mortar/rockettruck💀

[molten halo]

I didn't play most of the games lifespan

[knotty grotto]

We already have mortar weapon for mav

[deep glade]

The himars?

[molten halo]

The Mav isn't in bf6 and yes

[deep glade]

Well we never know what might be released in the future

Just like all the new vehicles 42 added since release

[worn marten]

Good

[molten halo]

The Mav isn't a real vehicle though

[worn marten]

The gunship era was not a fun one

[deep glade]

Gunship was ahhh

[knotty grotto]

AA tank camping in spawn

[molten halo]

If we're going fictional add the hovertanks from bf4 make them nordvik

[lean imp]

Mav is a real vehicle, it’s a Turkish APC called ZAHA

The MAV is basically an acronym

Marine Assault Vehicle

[worn marten]

Intriguing

[molten halo]

Ok then I guess it can be in 6

[lean imp]

Yeah it can be in NATO or Pax Armata, given Turks are in NATO irl anyway

[molten halo]

I only want real vehicles or things that are fictional but already exist in universe

[lean imp]

Yeah fair enough

[worn marten]

Does make its look make more sense. Always thought it looked like a boat on wheels

[deep glade]

Well I guess it’s supposed to be used like that

[lean imp]

It’s an amphibious vehicle it’s supposed to be boat-like

[molten halo]

I mean you can drive the Mav in water

Go ahead, try it

[lean imp]

They got such stuff in world war 2

[molten halo]

D day

[worn marten]

Never bothered trying it, wasn’t much water to traverse over that made that function obvious to me

[deep glade]

You know, the MAV is legit just the AAV from the US Marines

[knotty grotto]

Waiting for flying tanks, i want carrier airships with canons

[lean imp]

Yeah the tech ain’t nothing new

Amphibious vehicles exist since WW2

[knotty grotto]

Hovercraft transport

[lean imp]

Just let us control tanks that’s being parachuted, like in A-team movie and we basically got a flying tank

[molten halo]

Too bad there's no use for the m104 wolverine

[lean imp]

Maybe if we got maps with rivers

[knotty grotto]

Tank spawn would be either in a heli or some aircarrier

[deep glade]

In a heli?

[knotty grotto]

Warzone already had flying cars, they got ea to harrypotter

[knotty grotto]

Transporter, idk what would fit a tank

[deep glade]

No heli can lift an Abram’s

[molten halo]

If we're getting silly add some ace combat stuff

[worn marten]

It can if it believes in itself

[deep glade]

Or well, the C47 maybe

[knotty grotto]

Drone planes that release smaller drones

[molten halo]

But yeah NATO could mean typhoon

[chilly shore]

We could use some silly gadget related to hacking

[deep glade]

Only the C47 could MAYBE, if you removed all the ammunition and spare parts of the tank

[chilly shore]

I like the concept of cyberwarfare maybe implement more of it in BF

[knotty grotto]

Fallout 4:

Cyberpunk to, forgot u had quickhacks there

[deep glade]

The most believable deployment of a tank would be airdrop from a C17 globemaster

[molten halo]

Rao can hack bf6 could add a prototype of his tech

[chilly shore]

I like the idea of hacking the enemy to keep them from using their tech properly or pretty much denying them intel for a good while

[molten halo]

Would have to be on a tablet

[lean imp]

Currently, likely the C-5M and maybe the Boeing Globemaster III

[chilly shore]

like hacking some engineers could probably mess up their lock on weapons

[knotty grotto]

Fallout was more about turning enemy friendly or killing instant

Cyberpunk had alot from intel to damage to advantage

[worn marten]

Trouble is that the time spent hacking them in LOS would be better spent shooting them. That’s always been a particularly hard part of Rao’s kit to balance

[molten halo]

The draugr is based on a real drone

[chilly shore]

if we're gonna have drones in BF6, we might as well get some gadgets to hack em if shooting ain't an option

[knotty grotto]

Tbh idk which other games had hacking as a skill in game

[lean imp]

I think it’s based off the S-70

[knotty grotto]

Stealth heli in 2042

[chilly shore]

god I hate those damn gonks

[charred shale]

Hey guys I love battlefield 6 close quarters mode anyone know what other battlefields have that same sort of mode

[molten halo]

Maybe give it a predator missile

[chilly shore]

almost every BF games

[molten halo]

Bf3

Had a whole dlc

[chilly shore]

you can try your luck with hardline maybe BF4

[deep glade]

COD

[molten halo]

I gotta sleep ttyl

[charred shale]

I was considering 3 and maybe 4 does 4 have a dedicated mode ?

[faint lintel]

Genuinely tweaking rn haven’t been this excited for a game in awhile

[worn marten]

You’ll find servers in the close up maps

[lean imp]

Hellfire AGMs or equivalent

And some AA rockets or whatever they got installed to assault drones

[chilly shore]

personally I'm excited for BF6 but rn I don't got the eddies to buy even the standard edition

but I'm still finishing the Battlepass

[velvet kayak]

The best was Squad Conquest on BFV

[dark owl]

about portal mode server browser, will the servers have the option of closed/open weapons or one of them will be a default?

[lament furnace]

Everyday, we're moving closer to release

[lean imp]

Well subscribe to EA Play pro and you will get access to Phantom Edition

Also gives a small discount too if you wanna buy the game

[dark owl]

25 days? it's almost there

[velvet kayak]

I have booked the day off work

[worn marten]

Still gonna wait and see what it’s like before copping

[dark owl]

I'll do the same

[chilly shore]

I subbed to EA play during a huge discount and using it to play BF2042

[worn marten]

But us having actually seen the game due to leaks has definitely helped maintain that confidence and excitement

[dark owl]

lemme see what day of the week it will be

[velvet kayak]

Friday

[chilly shore]

nice October 10 is friday

perfect time

[dark owl]

okay perfect

3 days in a row to play nonstop, gonna request a day off

[lament furnace]

I requested a week off to play this game

Inb4 delay or the worst launch in bf history

[lean imp]

Nice

[dark owl]

I mean, most ot the titles of this franchise had a bad launch

but the beta was smooth enough for me to believe this is gonna be a good launch

no major bugs, weapon balancing was okay, netcode had some minor issues but nothing that breaks the experience

[faint lintel]

I had so much fun with the beta even when I was losing

[dark owl]

I wasn't even bothered when my team took a dump for the objectives and went just for kills

the overall feeling of the game was pretty good even losing

[chilly shore]

after finishing the BP, I'll delete 2042 and cancel my EA play

[dark owl]

2042 makes me want to drink clorox

[knotty grotto]

Imagine 2042 with graphics upscaling like you see in cyberpunk

[worn marten]

Would rather imagine than actually see it
Any kind of upscaling has just always looked bad

[dark owl]

you mean upscaled like FSR or smth similar?

[abstract gulch]

You can’t attach laser pointer and a grip

[dark owl]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slow horizon]

lf engineers dm

[short gust]

is the progression slow on the bp ?

cuz im thinking to start grinding it

[terse pike]

25 days left guys !!

[tight prism]

are you counting the days?

[dark owl]

@frank dust

[west tinsel]

Naval Strike 2.0? EA, DICE PLS

[fallen fox]

i miss my lasgun ak
put 6x scope on it and it became a beam

[acoustic plume]

Aftermath, close quarters and karkand 2.0 too- thanks devs

[west tinsel]

Shanghai Siege?

[timid otter]

128 player seige of shanghai would be nice

[acoustic plume]

Cool map

[trim plaza]

BF3 DLCs are so good

[acoustic plume]

Not long before servers goes to shit 💔

[twin jasper]

Will gulf of oman be in bf6? I remember seeing it or something close in the trailer

[cunning marten]

My god BF3 and 4 are painful now, I just need something to fill my craving! But holding to sprint is diabolical

[west tinsel]

No

[worn marten]

It was Sobek city you saw

[trim plaza]

Yeah I tried BF4 after BF6 and naaaa bro how can I play it again

[gilded tundra]

2042 was so bad, I uninstalled it and re-download planet side 2

[cunning marten]

I cant remember it ever being hold to sprint, and I couldnt find a setting anywhere for toggle 🙁

[acoustic plume]

Maps so good I tolerate this bs

[cunning marten]

Fair, they are great maps

[versed rock]

Good afternoon everyone

[cunning marten]

Hello Sir

[terse pike]

I am hyped never had so much fun in a game in many years

[dark owl]

there's a way to change to toggle sprint, it's on the keybind settings iirc

but I remember being able to change to toggle, only on BF4, BF3 it always hold

[chilly shore]

I'm so close to finishing the Battlepass

One more tier and I can leave all of it behind

[twin jasper]

So close and yet so far

[chilly shore]

I'm at tier 59

[twin jasper]

Im still at level 34 I think

[dark owl]

I'm still at lv 5 or 6 lmao

[hexed moth]

What battlepass? 😂

[twin jasper]

Im just doing the weekly missions and just getting the remaining points in the final week lol

[twin jasper]

Bf 2042? Wth is that?

[acoustic plume]

drink some caffeine and get to it

[twin jasper]

Better to drink gasoline, it can even power cars

[acoustic plume]

I got timed for a week for talking about things of this nature by mods. tread lightly

[dark owl]

okay

[chilly shore]

YES FINALLY! I'M DONE!

all the unoptimized maps, the lag, the weekly task, and the nightmares are finally over

[dark owl]

you know it's a bad game when you are happy to be done with it

[acoustic plume]

what a taint 2042 leaves on the franchise

[pulsar flare]

Imagine playing a game you apparently hate so much for a few skins that you will stop using after a week anyway

2042 isnt even that bad, its actually quite fun. Its just not very ''Battlefield'' to me

But the circlejerk of ''2042 is the worst thing in history'' is so big its hilarious

[knotty grotto]

Yuri

[chilly shore]

2042 has atleast a soft spot in my heart but I'm glad it's over

[dark owl]

the game itself, mechanics and gunplay are okay to me, but the maps man... the map design makes me tired of the game in less than 30 minutes

[pulsar flare]

I played it for around 350 hours and enjoyed it tbh

[chilly shore]

I can finally cancel my EA play and wait for BF6

[pulsar flare]

128 conquest does suck because of the map design, its better than at launch but I never queue for it anymore, just 64

128 conquest can be fun if you are into sniping on a hill miles away from the action etc for example

[dark owl]

I usually play 64, but the constant feeling of walking between open fields bores me the most

[velvet kayak]

I play the close quarters Conquest (but only three maps ffs)

[pulsar flare]

I play the CQ Conquest when I just want fast XP 😄

[knotty grotto]

Shipment conquest🔥

[chilly shore]

It's done, now I just have to wait for September 19 and it's gone

[grave river]

24 days left

[chilly shore]

damn... now I feel empty again

[rocky granite]

Bf6 >bf4

[chilly shore]

I might as well do my homework bye guys, finally the nightmare is over

[knotty grotto]

When the experience was so bad you enjoy homework over a game

[chilly shore]

BF2042 is badly optimized, I gotta do some Luna Nova witchcraft shenanigans just to get the game working well enough for me to do the Battlepass

[chilly shore]

glad it's over and I don't have to go back to it

[chilly shore]

I just got motivation to finish my math homework

[slow horizon]

lf engineers, dm EU

[slow horizon]

get off discord and do your homework son

[chilly shore]

nope, just like the Battlepass, I wanna finish it

[slow horizon]

just buy the battlepass skips, thats what i did

[neat reef]

Week 5 out?

[chilly shore]

too late, I already finished the BP also it's probably easier since you're European

[chilly shore]

yup and I just finished the BP

I'm just finishing some of my Filipino homeworks since I got nothing much to do anymore

[timid otter]

i wish i worked for BF so i can be playin the game rn

[chilly shore]

I'm from SEA

[slow horizon]

yeah im just saying in general, fun fact

[chilly shore]

I rarely encounter english speaking blokes in SEA servers

half are from Mainland CN, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc

I dunno how many Filipinos out there in BF2042

[cunning marten]

Ahhh sweet thanks

[slow horizon]

blokes, sir this is not a pub

[chilly shore]

I was literatly calculating this as we speak

[dark owl]

Is there a heart inside the chest of the android?

[frank dust]

i hate u

[dark owl]

i love u

[frank dust]

give me an anti bot test. i can pass anything cause im a real boi

[jade turret]

Just saw this name and I was happy to see someone else who wants commander in BF6 but sad it’s not in the game.

[dark owl]

[ ] Are you a robot?

the hell, im not

[dark owl]

I don't believe you

Helldivers peak

[plucky dawn]

I’m probably a couple days late but I just read an article now about the devs saying they nerfed the auto spotting in BF6. THANK YOU!!!!! That was my number 1 complaint in the beta.

[dark owl]

I don't really mind the auto spotting

but it's ok for it to be nerfed

I hope they nerf the sliding a little bit
for me it should be a tool to disengage and not the opposite

[willow lance]

Any kinds of movement will and should also be used offensively

BF6 slide is linear anyways, not like BF1 or V slide you could use defensively with changing directions mid slide

[plucky dawn]

I think they nerfed that a bit too. They said awhile back they toned down the “horizontal moment”. Which I assume means anything running, walking, sliding adjustments

[willow lance]

Slide to peak a corner, don't like what you see, peak back into your corner in the same slide, something you could do in BF1 and BFV. Can't do that in BF6. Slide will be exclusively offensive.

[plucky dawn]

I’ll be playing in hardcore servers 99.9% of the time anyway so I guess it doesn’t matter much to me. I saw that disabling tactical sprint was a custom rule set option which is nice. Slowwwwwww the game way down for us HC players 🤘🏼

[bleak forge]

Hardcore = moar camping ⛺️

But I do like hardcore dmg better.

[willow lance]

If I was a gamedev I wouldn't allow hardcore tbh

[dark owl]

I can't play hardcore, I just can't

[jade turret]

Oh I was around in the old days. Where the commander could actually play too, in BF2. Let me tell of a time long ago.

[slow horizon]

lf eu engineers, dm

[jade turret]

Disagree. Jumping should not be used offensively as this would never happen IRL. And before anyone comes in with the “this isn’t a mil sim”, spare me. Jumping in shooters is an atrocity and I’ve only learned to use it out of necessity.

[plucky dawn]

Well that would be silly. Why restrict an optional game mode?

[unreal grove]

What? Why not? Hardcore is so much fun in BF4

I think removing hit markers and increasing damage output makes matches play out much differently. Also makes supressive fire and medics more impactfull.

[plucky dawn]

Agree. I’m excited for HC servers. I enjoy the tactical type gameplay of it. Especially with the right people that play it like a seal team 6 type of thing.

[hallow geode]

Lemme humour ya'll with the top comments on the BF 2042 beta trailer from a few years ago :

Finally a game that looks properly next gen.

Bruhhh this looks incredible!!!! Can't wait 🤩

This is giving me tickles of BF3 hype vibes. TBF, I don’t think anything will match the marketing masterpiece for BF3. The hints of familiarity are here though. Well, done 👏👏👏

[weary crystal]

After playing the Beta, we already know it's going to be 100x the game 2042 was

[plucky dawn]

I like when they slowly rolled out video clips a little at a time. It was like a 4 part series or something. For BF3

[unreal grove]

It's a lot of fun to play it almost like Ready Or Not imo

[hallow geode]

BF3 marketing was PEAK

[dark owl]

I mean, the game indeed looks pretty good
and I think it holds still, till this day

But looking good and being a good game are two different things

[willow lance]

BF isn't realistic, rendezook isn't realistic, C4 jeep isn't realistic

[hallow geode]

Orbital did a lot of heavy lifting though. Game looks like roblox on some maps like hourglass

[dark owl]

usually games that try to bee way too realistic end up being pretty boring

[jade turret]

It’s somewhere between mil sim and typical shooter. Arcadey movements like you’d find in fortnight shouldn’t be there. If people wanna jump, go for it. Just think there needs to be an accuracy penalty more than there is currently.

[willow lance]

My opponents shouldn't move because I can't shoot them ☝️ 🤓

[jade turret]

Oh I have no problem shooting them. I’ve had to learn to jump as well to stay competitive. Just from a principled position it’s absolutely moronic to see everyone jumping in what is intended to be more mil sim than arcade shooter.

[dark owl]

I don't really see BF as a game that's on the spectrum of mil sim

it's as arcade as call of duty

[jade turret]

The games now may be. The franchise did not start off that way and has only moved that direction for sales

Yes I’m a boomer still clinging to the days of old.

[willow lance]

BF hasn't been milisim since BF2(not even 1942 was like that)

[velvet kayak]

Mil sim? Battlefield?

[dark owl]

My main point of reference of what is "classic battlefield" is BC2 and BF3

[jade turret]

Which is the game I played the most of and my default battlefield experience. Did you play BF2?

[jade turret]

Understood. I’m older than most on this server prob. And I’m sure people get tired of hearing it. BF2 was a nearly flawless gaming experience.

[dark owl]

I played a little of BF2 but not enough for me to get into that game

[willow lance]

Same

[dark owl]

but I was reading that jumpshooting was a pretty big "complaint" in the community back on BF2 cuz it was "way too strong"
But I dunno if it was a real thing or just bs that ppl say online

[velvet kayak]

I mean I’m over 50 but we are talking about a 20 year old game, things change

[jade turret]

It was a tremendous game. @willow lance I think you’d appreciate the commander mode even more.

[mint hatch]

Battledads stay winning tbh. We can all enjoy the crouch slide while also acknowledging that we dont want some slide hopping cavemen bouncing around at 25 MPH with assault rifles

[jade turret]

It’s true. It was definitely there as well but bc it wasn’t so prevalent it never felt like it needed a nerf. Maybe that’s just a byproduct of gaming society now

[willow lance]

I want to be slide hopping cavement bouncing around at 25 MPH with ARs though

[mint hatch]

Download apex

[willow lance]

Nah

[jade turret]

I agree I don’t think we need an exact remake of BF2 but some of the elements like the commander made it so satisfying to winning a match. And yes although it’s not a mil sim I think we can all agree it’s intended to be more mil sim than an arcade shooter?

[jade turret]

This is ultimately my problem though. Not just throwing COD at you as shade, but that series has definitely decided that they encourage this type of game play so why not just stick with that game?

[mint hatch]

We have omni-movement 6v6 shooters for unemployed teenagers and we have 32v32 conquest for employed adults

[dark owl]

unemployed adults do what?

[mint hatch]

Oblivion remake

[dark owl]

touche

[mint hatch]

[willow lance]

BF had better movement than COD, I want BF movement to be like BF movement. Look at BFV and WW2, not even comparable.

[shrewd abyss]

BF has more realistic animations, and slower paced

which also i'd love to have in BF again

[mint hatch]

Map size is directly related to pacing. BF6 can get really twitchy like during empire state weekend 2

Game still has really good bones

[shrewd abyss]

Locker and Metro were also like that

[worn marten]

It’s just some people seem to think that the first implies the second. They see any form of it and believe the extreme is about to happen. They don’t seem to think like this

[shrewd abyss]

but both had suppression, BF6 in beta suppression was not there

[lucid mist]

crouch slides are so fun as a medic. Heroically sliding into smoke to drag your boys to safety while gunshots and explosions ring out around you

[shrewd abyss]

yup, loved it

[lucid mist]

I'd be willing to have a slightly sweaty assualt use them to get a kill every now and then if we can have this

[shrewd abyss]

but at the same time, i still advocate for support and medic being two separate classes

[velvet kayak]

BFV movement was brilliant

[marsh harbor]

aftermath ftw

[shrewd abyss]

close quarters was GREAT

Aftermath was also quite fucking nice because of the different theme

[lusty wyvern]

Final Stand and Naval Strike alongwith Endgame and Aftermath was PEAK Battlefield imo

hopefully we get some seasons inspired by those DLCs

[shrewd abyss]

i'd love to get some cosmetics and weapons inspired by those

like, give me a "commando" outfit

[lusty wyvern]

I am pretty confident we are gonna get Naval Strike 2.0. Foundations are already there with swimming and naval vehicle controls

[shrewd abyss]

with no sleeves

[lucid mist]

some of the 2042 skins are honestly sick and hope they come back in some regard

[lusty wyvern]

Final Stand 2.0 I mean come on they would make a lot of money and it would connect it further to 2042 and 2142

[lucid mist]

have you guys seen angels LRIP skin, if not look it up and tell me that shit isn't cool looking

[shrewd abyss]

i do agree, but being 90% locked behind a paywall doesnt leave a nice taste in my mouth

[worn marten]

Felt like neo when dodging bullets with that slide, was great

[civic herald]

But no one play angel tho

[hexed moth]

When funny as on the Beta. Some guy went straight flying past me on a slide. I thought “it’s Jason Bourne” as he overshot 🤣

[lucid mist]

yeah I hate that because he has some of the coolest skins but I'm forced to play stinky falck to be a decent medic

[rocky granite]

Bf6 will outsell every bf game

[brazen plover]

At least they are fixing that, yay

[shrewd abyss]

yup, and i hope they add a big ass penalty for accuracy in sliding

[brazen plover]

From what I hear I think the sliding is just a bit slower or smth idk

[dark owl]

there's even an increase in bloom while sliding

[inner swan]

Hey! Excitement is understandable but please don't just ping people not active in chat. Make sure you read the #rules before breaking them inadvertently. Also make sure to actually use the resources you have at hand, like the pinned comments in this channel. Lastly, the testing is under NDA and shouldn't be discussed in here.

[brazen plover]

I looked it up, theres a penatly for aim

Anyway, I am never going on the battlefield subreddits again, all people do on there is complain

[shrewd abyss]

there should be

[brazen plover]

People will literally lose their minds over anything

[shrewd abyss]

i mean, better complain now, because you saw how 2042 turned out?

[brazen plover]

I get complaining about 2042, that shit was ass, but people complain over three letters in a tweet and it's stupid af

[shrewd abyss]

its not, its EA we are talking about

[worn marten]

Yeah there is

[shrewd abyss]

unless said otherwise, we can assume the worse

[brazen plover]

If you are gonna complain, don't pull out a magnifying glass to yap about how two pixels on a coffee cup are incorrect and how that makes this the worst game ever

[brazen plover]

If you are gonna complain, don't complain about bs

[shrewd abyss]

the leaked skin, that is green af, can be different and better

[slow horizon]

lf EU players, dm

[shrewd abyss]

looks at BF2042 santa skin Just no, better complain and make our voices heard before it reaches a boiling point, which was bf2042

who in their sane mind thought making 90% of the skins locked behind a payment was a good idea?

[wicked tusk]

better than competitors doesn't have to mean great
it just has to be better, and bf6 most likely will be

[brazen plover]

I think you are really missing my point but ok

[shrewd abyss]

i mean yeah because it shows more quality than Delta FOrce and BF2042

and if its worse than any of those, its gonna be shelved like EA did to most franchises they have

[digital mauve]

Devs confirmed there will be no goofy skins in bf6

[wicked tusk]

less players, more destruction
basically a recipe for success to take a step backwards

[brazen plover]

I get complaining about shitty skins, what is stupid is complaining about every minute detail that no one gives a shit about

[shrewd abyss]

also i hope they make BF now a 5 year release due to tech

[shrewd abyss]

more players doesnt mean better, 32 v 32 is fine for now due to smaller maps

[wicked tusk]

2042 got a little too big for its britches

[digital mauve]

It NEEDS more destruction.

[wicked tusk]

and the lack of destruction is saddening

[digital mauve]

2042 has almost no destruction not nearly as satisfying as bf1

[wicked tusk]

bf1 was the true sweet spot

now all they gotta do is modernize it

[shrewd abyss]

i still have my thoughts about BF3 close combat being better in the destruction department

[digital mauve]

Like when I shot that guy in the corner on the second story of the building with a tank shell and the whole side of the building came down in an avalanche.... Now THAT was peak

BF1 but with modern graphics and based on modern or futuristic warfare would be peak

[wicked tusk]

i've never felt as immersed in a video game as i was playin BF1 hardcore
and the fact that 2042 HC servers still are populated at the end of the games "life cycle" gives me a great deal of hope

bf6 should be solid front to back as long as they don't pull a BF4 with the terrible hitreg on launch

[digital mauve]

I feel like playing it on PS5 with a big screen and the haptic controllers make it even more immersive

[wicked tusk]

big screen is a must

[digital mauve]

Even though it's more "fun" on pc

[wicked tusk]

got a new panel last week, new pc is sitting in a tub in boxes about to be assembled this weekend

i am stoked

[shrewd abyss]

didnt felt any of that in the beta

it felt quite solid for a beta

[digital mauve]

However our complaints about 2042 are the gaming version of first world problems. It's a great game and really fun to play these days

[shrewd abyss]

its not great per se

its a decent shooter, terrible battlefield

[wicked tusk]

while i tend to agree, it was just a stress test

launch might be a totally different story

fingers crossed

[digital mauve]

I wouldn't say terrible but that's what I was saying

Coming from being the sweatiest player in energy assault on Roblox it's one of the best shooters I've ever played 🤣

[wicked tusk]

i'm having fun playing hardcore 2042 but it doesn't feel as thrilling as i would have hoped

no HUD servers help a lot

[shrewd abyss]

the weapons feel...quite generic

the sounds are not as "heavy" and "Punchy"

[digital mauve]

Nothing can match the hilariousness of putting c4 on a drone in 2042

[digital mauve]

Yeah, war tapss probably helps tho

[wicked tusk]

c4 drones are tight, jihad jeeps are tight
no notes there

[digital mauve]

Or driving a tank on to a plane

[wicked tusk]

i need to get one of those little tuk tuks going with an RPG hanging out the side

[hexed moth]

I’m just forgetting all the old bf. It’s like going back to an Ex. Concentrate on the new. Bf6 is gonna be absolutely fantastic.

[digital mauve]

Or shooting a sniper with a recoiless m5

[wicked tusk]

on kaleidoscope or whatever that map is

are the little trucks in other maps too? i don't remember seeing any

[shrewd abyss]

helps but is not a solution, the sound in the game is not good

[digital mauve]

Are there mods for 2042?

[wicked tusk]

i tend to agree that the audio is lacking

bf6 audio made me crap my pants a couple times

[shrewd abyss]

It felt like i was playing ARMA

THAT SHIT WAS SCARY

nothing in BF2042 SOUNDS deadly

EVERYTHING in BF6 sounded deadly

[worn marten]

The ambient solder audio was great in the beta

[hexed moth]

I had it pretty loud on an atmos system. I had a few mini strokes. (Bf6)

[past jasper]

Imo hard-core is pretty boring, since it is just a exercise of what one hit weapon that shoot the fastest

[wicked tusk]

i enjoyed watching COD streamers struggle to play beta
i really strongly dislike timothy the tattooe'd guy
but it was funny to watch him be actually scared while hiding inside a building that got systematically destroyed around him

[past jasper]

Ntw50 was very meaty

Also GDF sounded pretty good, a lot better than what bf6 beta had

(Ebaa 35mm, which would be the same as gepard in bf6)

[shrewd abyss]

hell, even BF3 sounds better than BF2042 and its a 14 year old game

[wicked tusk]

every now and then i hear a bullet crack that sounds right in 2042 and it throws me for a loop because everything else sounds kinda goofy
