battlefield-6

[strong echo]

Told u

[outer thistle]

wow EA truly is one of the companies

if they let this regard have any weapon access

[late folio]

Out of all companies it is one of them

[strong echo]

Respect the chain of command

[willow lance]

Huh?

[sand spear]

This maybe a bad take but why lmgs to support we need smgs we are on the frontlines not providing suppressive fire

[outer thistle]

in case they neutralize me, my final words are: have fun in BF6

[willow lance]

Good thing is weapons are open in BF6

[sand spear]

Yeah but don’t they have like closed ones too

[chilly lava]

anyone know if there has been posted a release time for oct 10?

[sand spear]

As long as I don’t see half my team sniping I will be fine

[willow lance]

Closed weapons are a tacked on mode

[strong echo]

Closed > open

[velvet kayak]

Yeah I won’t touch it

[sand spear]

Not anymore

[outer thistle]

I think BFV and BF2142 had best class systems

[velvet kayak]

Yep, BFV was spot on

[willow lance]

BF6 wasn’t even designed with closed weapons, copy pasting BF4 class locks won’t make it better. Will probably make it worse lol.

[velvet kayak]

Lmg as medic - not for me

[strong echo]

Closed didn't mean ur stuck playing with MG's

[steel zephyr]

they should add cactuses to battlefield 6

[late folio]

Yeah now I can have pdws 🙂

[sand spear]

It’s funny to see some of the streamers are complain about the leaked br footage

[velvet kayak]

It does if I want to be medic?

[sand spear]

Same makes no sense

[strong echo]

U still got dmrs and Carbines

[sand spear]

Smgs are made for medics

[velvet kayak]

God no, got to be SMGs or ARs for me

[willow lance]

Carbines makes class locks redundant anyways since every class has an AR in the form of carbines

[sand spear]

Smart dude right here

[strong echo]

Here's the thing, u cannot be a support with an AR

[steel zephyr]

they should add functioning toilets to battlefield 6

[late folio]

So true

[willow lance]

Support in BF6 is assault anyways

[strong echo]

That's just way too op, to have a solid rifle and still be able to provide urself with ammo

[sand spear]

And a chair melee

[velvet kayak]

You can in open

[strong echo]

No I'm saying that shouldn't be allowed

[willow lance]

Carbines are better than ARs in BF6 and they are available to every class

[sand spear]

You Can also carry a ar and dmr

[steel zephyr]

they should add anime girl skins to battlefield 6

[late folio]

Facts

[willow lance]

We need girls frontlines collab

[late folio]

And arknights

[velvet kayak]

Well SMGs are my preference for medic

[steel zephyr]

my messages keep getting deleted lol

[strong echo]

I'm just saying, having open classes with introduce alot of complaints later, the point of battlefield is to teamwork, meaning u can't have a powerful ar and still provide ammo to urself, same later with smgs and gadgets, u will become a one man unit

[steel zephyr]

they should add a Caillou skin to battlefield

His emote will be “I’m Caillou!”

[strong echo]

Imagine being a support with deployable shields, ammo crates, and a long range sniper, u literally can't be killed by other snipers

[willow lance]

Open classes played better 🗣️

[strong echo]

I'm pretty sure the majority played closed weapons in beta

[willow lance]

BF6 beta wouldn’t have had the best class balance if not for open weapons

[velvet kayak]

I think the opposite, open means people will pick the class for the role and not the gun. Exception to this might be sniper guns

[steel zephyr]

A belle delphine skin would hit hard

[icy cipher]

what?

[wind kettle]

Open class mean camping snipers with ammo

[steel zephyr]

like it would be a good skin

[willow lance]

I heard closed weapons playlist was empty in east asia but okay 😂

[steel zephyr]

they need to add nuke blaster rifles to battlefield

[strong echo]

Yea probably bc the beta wasn't even live in their timezone

[willow lance]

Doesn’t matter

[mint fern]

I dunno why im still playing 2042, but it just feels more fun when you dont focus on bs challenges that drive you crazy, though still it doesn't change the fact 2042 is not really a battlefield game. Im just ready for bf6, the movement in 2042 makes me feel disgusting when i jump shot a corner 💀

[steel zephyr]

yo what if they add a charlie skin

[willow lance]

Chaplin?

[wind kettle]

It dose lock weapons and snipers have to move from there spots for ammo

[gritty garnet]

Only 2 weeks to bf6

[icy ocean]

We will be there

[strong echo]

Thank-you

[mint fern]

Im so ready man this shit is gonna be good

[steel zephyr]

They better have loot crates

[icy ocean]

Pulling a sickie from work that day

[mint fern]

Im planning on getting back into working again a couple weeks post launch wanna devote some time to having fun with the game then get into a decent store job myself

[steel zephyr]

Loot crates inspire people to play the game

[icy ocean]

WWE on from 2pm-4pm UK time then bf6 launching at 4pm UK time phwaor proper class Friday that

[strong echo]

To put it simply, those who have friends tend to prefer closed weapons, and those who don't, tend to wanna become an army of 1

[willow lance]

I prefer open weapons so I won’t need to play with weapons I don’t like lol

[strong echo]

Idk about that lmao

[late folio]

I truly felt like an army of one with my MPX support when a tank rolled around the corner. My med bag and shield definitely turned the tide.

[strong echo]

Yup, knew ur into open weapons

[late folio]

I'll play either but I don't care lmao

[humble mural]

Not really. I still prefer open weapons because I can collect badges for multiple weapons without changing the role of the medic,which I have been fulfilling for years now.

[late folio]

Pdws were open in BF3 but you probably don't care 🙂

[strong echo]

It's okay, everything will be okay 🫂

[strong echo]

Sending love ur way 🫂

[late folio]

When I'm playing assault and a heli comes down on me I'll be thankful that my shotgun and LMG really helped me be that army of one.

[strong echo]

U will make friends, I'm sure 🫂

[late folio]

My ladder and grenade launcher is it

[humble mural]

Is it because you pity me or just from pure kindness?

[strong echo]

I'm crying rn 🤣

[humble mural]

What? I just want to be sure.

[late folio]

I'd cry to if I didn't have a rebuttal to actual class differences lol

[strong echo]

Star it's okay, just be urself and u will definitely find new friends then the game drops, don't fight it

Same with u Michal, just make sure u spell ur name right

[late folio]

I have clips with friends and I on BF6 but you don't have an argument for team play 🙂

[mint fern]

Personally at this point i just don't care about the closed or open weapons debate, yeah i like closed weapons and prefer them because of class advantages using said weapon, but some people are gonna prefer open weapons more and at this point power to ya. I'll try and play closed weapon queues but i got a feeling post launch the amount of players in that mode will be fewer and itll really kill queue times

I forgot i had my message sent as a reply there

Whoops

[late folio]

I mean you can just play hell let loose they still have closed weapons.

[strong echo]

See? Everyone's natural instinct is to go with closed weapons, this is just the battlefield way

[mint fern]

The ww2 aesthetic has worn me thin tbh yeah interesting era of combat but i want some modern conflict tbh

[late folio]

Idk my queues popped quicker in open

[humble mural]

We will see,but I expect open weapons to dominate official playlists, whereas closed weapons will dominate custom lobbies in Portal. Just a guess.

[normal depot]

queue popper

[mint fern]

Well yeah because thats the main mode advertised on the front, closed weapons was next to it for a time before literally they shoved it to the end of the list

[willow lance]

Good

[late folio]

Cause you know all the servers I had to choose from so I didn't have to queue.

[willow lance]

Would be better if they removed it and kept it as an option in portal

[humble mural]

Looks like I am the only one who liked open weapons of 2042 same as the T menu that let you change attachments while running around the map.

[late folio]

I was told no one played open cause it wasn't the battlefield way.

[strong echo]

The T menu was an awful idea

[willow lance]

Nah

It’s based since I don’t have to rely on my teammates

[mint fern]

No its not the original way battlefield was played back in the day, but open weapons conquest is just called "conquest" now. While closed weapons is specified as "closed weapons conquest" their brains immediately think (and rightfully so) "hey this is the base game mode lets play" and press it instead

[strong echo]

Guys please, PLEASE, stop wanting to do everything on ur own whenever and wherever u want it.

[unreal grove]

huh?

[humble mural]

Speak for yourself. T system let me not only find the perfect recoil pattern for weapons but it also allowed me to convert my SMGs into mini DMRs by equipping a bigger 4× scope and switching to a single fire.

[unreal grove]

I'm really not opposed to Open

[strong echo]

No u can't have all weapons, gadgets, and ammo all by urself. No u can't change attachments whenever the situation calls for

[unreal grove]

well yeah that's not even a feature

[willow lance]

I could in 2042, Mackay could destroy both infantry and tanks

[mint fern]

Tbh i just dont care anymore i dont think they'll change it because dice has it the way they want it so im biting the bullet and getting used to it, at least its not game ruining

[strong echo]

So it makes sense to u to carry a sniper, rifle, and SMG all together?

[late folio]

I don't care I just want to play the game. As long as gadgets are class specific I don't care if you have an LMG or a SR

[willow lance]

Some gadgets shouldn’t be class specific

Smoke grenades and launchers should be all class

[mint fern]

True, could be a lot worse could be engineers running around with ammo bags

[humble mural]

You do realise that this time gadgets are class locked, right? It's only about weapons. Perhaps the issue lays with assault having access to 2 piramary weapons. I saw a lot of people who wanted to exclude some weapons.

[late folio]

Idk why they split grenade launchers

[unreal grove]

I think having smokes on Support is great, because it encourages them to play to the role

[humble mural]

It's called combat adaptation.

[willow lance]

It encourages 60% of the lobby playing support since only support can move lmao

[unreal grove]

what?

[mint fern]

Ya know i was kinda thinking the same thing, like why not allow us to change the ammunition type in the loadout screen for them instead of having several different variations of the same weapon just different ammos

[strong echo]

Come on Michael, we both know it's not logical to have the ability to change ur weapon on the field to suit every possible combat scenario

[willow lance]

Same thing happened in BFV, only medic and recon had smokes, assault couldn’t push due to lack of smokes

[solemn wigeon]

Anyone from the EU want too create a platoon together ? ...dm me 🤟

[unreal grove]

well then medic and recon weren't doing their jobs lol

sounds like people need to communicate more

[willow lance]

Their job is to kill people, which they could do better than assault since they can smoke and move

[late folio]

This is battlefield teammate communication doesn't happen

[humble mural]

I did not say a word about changing the weapon. The T system was about switching attachments. At this point I assume that you have not spent much time in BF2042

[mint fern]

I hated that feature, i really hope they revert the changes other classes legitimately need smokes

[strong echo]

Well yea, changing attachments gave u the chance to tweak certain guns from being rifles to DMRs

[late folio]

Blueberries will do what blueberries want. No one knows what they want.

[humble mural]

It was suitable as most maps were as open as windows XP default wallpaper.

[inland nymph]

I witnessed a Blueberry Boris repair a vehicle that had JUST blown up.

[mint fern]

I just finished playing engineer in a 2042 game and i managed to get out of dodge immediately with some good smoke placement, a tank had me pinned down on a hill and i juked him out by throwing smokes on 2 escape routes instead of one so they had to pick which id run through

[late folio]

He's trying

[inland nymph]

2042 is a funny game because you can immediately tell the kind of player they are by the specialist they pick, Especially the Boris mains. They are SUPER funny to mess with.

[inland nymph]

Oh true but when I saw it the first thing that came to mind was "Of course it's a boris main!"

Then there are those hiding in the corner.... or laying down, Sometimes both!

[strong echo]

I'm just saying, if u equip a 2x scope, u gotta stick with it until u die, that's how it goes. U can't have a sniper with 8x then switch to red dot for close combat, ur asking for streamers to abuse it

[inland nymph]

A streamer will abuse anything LOL.

[hallow geode]

Found the manhattan bridge gameplay stream. Once they jumped into gameplay I clicked off after 1 second lol. I MUST CONTAIN MYSELF

[inland nymph]

I abuse what I can. I main fricken assault in 2042. Mackay makes the game trivial.

[late folio]

There may or may not be a bridge

[inland nymph]

Really

[hallow geode]

Ok cancelling preorder now. Thanks for spoilers

[late folio]

Dw I preordered another copy just incase

[strong echo]

Lmao why u say it like that

[silver sonnet]

honestly there arent really many good engineers to pick, i usually end up with boris if i'm playing engi cuz at LEAST he has a vaguely useful gadget. Vaguely. Sorta.

[mint fern]

Wait so we're fighting on a bridge in multiplayer or campaign??

[inland nymph]

Fricken sharks with fricken laser beams

[inland nymph]

Crawford just the go to engie. Lis if you want C4 or mines.

Boris is down in the mud for the most useless engie because he was designed with a different gameplay loop in mind.

[humble mural]

It won't be a thing in BF6 but the T system allowed you to switch sights on demand so you could switch it any time you wanted. Unlimited times during a single in-game life

[hallow geode]

From the screenshot they showed a while ago it doesn't look like we can fight on the bridge in multiplayer 🙁

[inland nymph]

The + system was actually pretty great for all intents and purposes. While at the same time I don't think we should have been able to swap between ammo types it was a super fun system to play around with.

[mint fern]

Also apparently its leaked that we're getting collectibles in solo which is a given, BUT those collectibles will give us cosmetics and skins like hell yeahh thats awesome

[hallow geode]

but should be able to use out of bounds area and make a map out of the bridge in portal

[humble mural]

You can already find some footage of "Manhattan Bridge " on YT.

[inland nymph]

It did make the hybrid sights a little redundant though.

[mint fern]

Damn hey its in campaign tho so thats awesome

[strong echo]

Yea I know, I played some 2042, that's why I hate that system, I didn't find it reasonable even tho it was convenient

[hallow geode]

I'm restraining myself from watching it. I want some surprises on launch day 🤣

[humble mural]

OK. Good to know. I liked it for the reasons I mentioned earlier.

[inland nymph]

I do believe if they approached it with attachments you could not change, The attachments through the plus system would have been a minor change up versus full sized barrels that actually forced you to change your playstyle.

[hard compass]

People, question, it’s not in 2042 topic, does Phantom edition skins officially changing from original to new?

[inland nymph]

They seem to be changed yes.

Not gonna lie the assault skin looks way better without those silly looking night vision goggles.

[hard compass]

Fuck

[strong echo]

I'm still salty about the change, specially the tank skin nerf

[inland nymph]

Don't worry. Reddit found a new thing to be mad at. And it's the soldier with the orange on him.

[stable remnant]

Yuo should sue for false advertising

[inland nymph]

What tank skin nerf.

[mint fern]

You know what'd be a sick map design for a multiplayer map? More closed quarters of course

[strong echo]

I literally started a whole argument about it earlier lmao

[humble mural]

You have got a strong mind. I could not hold myself from checking every single leak. XD I am only capable of restraining myself from buying any skins as default skins look awesome plus I did not jump on a hype train to unlock BF6 skins in 2042.

[mint fern]

If we got a map on 2 high rise buildings that have collapsed in together up top

[strong echo]

The first phantom tank skin looked way cooler with camo netting and antennas, it had details, it had character to it. After the change it looks plain and lackluster

[crude tinsel]

Ciao

[inland nymph]

It's really just a non issue especially when environmental effects dull the colours and all.

[hard compass]

Orange? Why the fuck orange, why people don’t like them having red on

[inland nymph]

I don't know. This community is very weird.

[mint fern]

Kinda like that one zombie's map from bo2 "die rise". I played that recently and thought hey have a map similar to that in bf6

[inland nymph]

I have been playing since the first bad co and it's consistently been like this since. just not on this scale.

[boreal bronze]

Not applicable to me, but I wonder if battlefield will make their BR mode a f2p extention, as we all know the larger player base on cod br only play due to it being free

[strong echo]

Yea but it doesn't look too grounded to me, it's giving 2042 vibes and that's scary considering we haven't started the game yet, and we already have not so grounded skins

[humble mural]

It was not orange. It was a neon bright green and black just like a can of monster energy drink.

[worn marten]

Orange? That’s it?

[inland nymph]

Someone I know posted the campaign challenges and it said that they were required to own BF6.
To me this tells me that the foundation is set to be free to play for the battle royale. Also for free weekends but that's a given.

[worn marten]

I don’t know about you but it looked fine to me. If they made all the outfits over-camo’d then people will then complain about visibility being poor

[cobalt ruin]

A soldier with an orange on him?

Leave the man alone, he's just trynna fight off Scurvy...

[inland nymph]

I like this post for real for real. https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1nqnbfy/battlefield_subreddit_hates_all_colors/

[humble mural]

BR will be free but I won't be touching it regardless.

[inland nymph]

BAHAHA that is good!

[boreal bronze]

I’ll try it out but I’m here for main bf6

[stable remnant]

The orange one is fine, the green one is not. They're being purposefully silly to invalidate all arguments

[inland nymph]

I think the monster energy / razer promotional skin looks "ugly" and should have used a phantom skin as a base, just recolour the red to green lmao.

[boreal bronze]

We arguing with myself wether to preorder and decided ah well, can see myself playing a good 200-300 hours regardless so why not

[humble mural]

I am here for campaign and MP and eventually legacy party modes reworked in portal. I am counting on portal rework of gun master and scavenger from BF3

[inland nymph]

To me when I see the orange I think more naval than anything.

As if at a oil rig right.

[tranquil briar]

wait there is a monster enegry promo skin?

[boreal bronze]

All I ask from dice is don’t even bring the word SBMM into anything

[inland nymph]

Well it's assumed to be a monster energy promotion skin due to the colour scheme but yes there is.

[wind kettle]

Ill make a mode that detect campers in portal the more you camp you start laying eggs that add to scoreboard and you will be highlighted for everyone

[inland nymph]

I would realistically expect a team balancer into play like they have with all the battlefields which... we will see how that turns out lmao.

[tranquil briar]

📝 roger

[void crow]

Seeing manhattan bridge map vids. It's promising

[hard compass]

I don’t get why did Ea choose to make such changes in before two weeks in release, such with Phantom skins, I wanted to spend extra 30 bucks because of Assaultman with nvg’s

[inland nymph]

I won tonnes of matches on squad death match carrying my team against total guppies for enemies so I don't believe it is in effect. XD

Well, At least not yet! :D

[inland nymph]

Yeah I do agree it is frustration to pull the rug out from under you.

[boreal bronze]

True but I just can’t imagine sbmm going well, your a casual player that gets some lucky games early on and all of a sudden ur getting slammed by silks fighter jet

[inland nymph]

You have every right to be mad. While I don't think it's that bad of a change I hope there'll be something for you.

[humble mural]

I also pre-ordered. I realised that if 90€ or 60$ is a standard pricing for the industry then why not receiving some bonuses with the purchase.

[strong echo]

When I started recovering from the arbitrary changes to phantom skins, they hit me with the orange man, I just can't heal from EA traumas

[inland nymph]

To be fair. That is just OCE.

I get what you mean but still. Battlefields matchmaking has always been randomnised.

[late folio]

I'm mad they keep advertising the quad nods but I like both.

[inland nymph]

The nods?

[stable remnant]

They know you'll pay anyway

[inland nymph]

Dude this community is still crying over the Santa Boris skin.

[strong echo]

Who dat

[boreal bronze]

Yea, at least it ain’t like bo7 estimated costs, $100 or bonus for 120

[inland nymph]

It's like whenever skins are mentioned they have salt poured on their wound that has still healed over and they reflexively react.

[humble mural]

Money well spent, then?

If u spend more than $20 on a cod title nowadays, you deserve to be laughed at

[inland nymph]

My mates from NZ have to spend 150 for the phantom edition of the game. XD

[strong echo]

Can we just be honest for a minute here? What happened to normal army skins? Ur typical bro army tacticool skins?

[hard compass]

Now I really don’t want to buy phantom, cause of that change, I mean, I could get it for recon or engineer, but man, most sweet was in assaultman with nvg’s (for me, personally)

[stable remnant]

Expensive Edition is 110euro on ps store

[inland nymph]

They exist.

[boreal bronze]

WAT

[stable remnant]

$130? roughly

[strong echo]

We aren't asking for much, just give us normal army looking dudes and gals, no need to be fancy

[boreal bronze]

that’s crazy, all for a reskinned bo6 with wall running

[humble mural]

Hey you may like or dislike the santa Boris skin but the backlash saved 2042 from going the Fortnite route with 2042. Nevertheless, 2042 still offered some goofy skins.

[inland nymph]

I really do not think it saved 2042 from the fortnite route.

[hard compass]

It’s $100 on my

[humble mural]

There we go.

[inland nymph]

If anything it made dice more conscious on what to release. And there are still some wacky skins in the game.

[stable remnant]

stndard is 80 euro. so... you're paying..30 extra for 4 skins and a battlepass skip :>

[ornate hornet]

Whats todays ragebait guys?

[stable remnant]

what a bargain

[inland nymph]

Like I stated. There is a good mix of military uniforms unique to the specialist at hand.

[livid tapir]

Yeah I got killed by a guy in a leasure suit on Iwo Jima map. I don't know what skin that is never seen it before but I was like wtf lol

[humble mural]

It still leaned this way. I do not want that for BF6, personally.

[inland nymph]

The colour..... Orange! :D

[late folio]

Pick your poison kind of night. They all biting.

[boreal bronze]

At least they have a thought about what to release instead of cod releases the most vibrant ludicrous Peter griffin skin possible

[ornate hornet]

What about It

[humble mural]

Ooof, that's rough.

The shipment is expensive

Oh by the way I think i know what he means by "laser suit" - something for irish.

I’m in a dilema right now. Idk If I should pre order bf6 or buy some brand new air forces

[inland nymph]

Will you wind up getting bf6 anyways?

Just don't be broke and buy both.

Probably

[strong echo]

No actually, the issue is that all those skins r way too dark, number 1.

Number 2, the orange man looks futuristic, the nvgs look weird. We want normal looking skins man lmao

[inland nymph]

I know which one you are talking about and the colours aren't that stand out.

[late folio]

Right. Well I'll enjoy my BF6 in the airforces while you still pick in and choosing

[stable remnant]

thats a match for the new green one

You aint balenci steppin like me

[livid tapir]

I edited my post. Not laser suit but leisure suit. Sorry

Orange + black is a bad combination tbh

[inland nymph]

That necromorph skin is gorgeous.

[late folio]

Word out to the streets on that one jit. Fr fr ong sheeeesg

[inland nymph]

And by the way, Yeah. That crawford suit is certainly well. Non sensical. A fun meme though.

[hard compass]

Better red with black in my opinion

[inland nymph]

omg for real for real???

[vernal radish]

Hopefully Frontlines comes back or at least able to build one in portal

[inland nymph]

The suit itself I really don't think look bad especially with the matter of ingame filters and the environment messing with the colour perception.

[silver sonnet]

but when can we play using American Dad skins?

[humble mural]

The phantom edition skins were like this but then they toned them down, which was a good decision.

[inland nymph]

Go to BO6.

[late folio]

Ong ong

[inland nymph]

You know what annoys me more about those American dad skins.

[silver sonnet]

never, you're not my real dad.

They are just bad skins and a rip off considering quality and price.

What im hoping they steer away from this game is the weird collabs, like the one they did with dead space in 2042, don't get me wrong i love dead space and a zombie mode would go hard, i just don't think the vibe of dead space or games of that caliber especially with the cosmetics the event had wouldn't fit this game

[inland nymph]

haha discord be like that

[grand jay]

@queen prawn Porq te fuiste del sv?

[inland nymph]

Collabs aren't really all bad but it's when they don't fit the game is when they are a problem.

[ornate hornet]

Wena

[inland nymph]

If there was a ghost recon x COD crossover would you guys hate it?

[grand jay]

Buena

[humble mural]

The only collabs I can accept in BF6 are with the tailor companies that specialise in tailoring military uniforms. What do you think?

[humble mural]

True

[inland nymph]

[ornate hornet]

Your neck green

[mint fern]

Yes of course if it fits the vibe and isnt over the top then i definitely dont mind collabs like that!

[inland nymph]

Would you guys be annoyed if stuff like this popped up. And keep in mind... I think ghost recon 2 is 20 years now?

[ornate hornet]

Shit collabs with trash

[inland nymph]

It's 20 fucking years old I am going to crash out.

[inland nymph]

So you just hate the idea of collabs because you just hate them.

[ornate hornet]

People saying my jewelry fake but they aint never seen my neck green!!

[inland nymph]

Despite ghost recon, Authentically. Fitting in with COD or even battlefield.

[ornate hornet]

Yea kinda

[late folio]

Lol

[inland nymph]

And now keep in mind. I played the original ghost recon. Not the recent ones. So my perception is... I think older than most of you folks.

[mint fern]

Ok ghost recon maybe but youd have to be specific of which one because the newer ones are ehhh, but cod would never sign onto that idea so no for cod.

[humble mural]

Yep. It has to be toned down. If you remember, BF4 had the actuall military patterns used as camos. Not only that but they also had descriptions that were providing informations about which special forces wore them and during which real conflicts they were being used.

[ornate hornet]

It wouldnt be a good collab

[inland nymph]

Dude COD 2 is almost 20 fucking years old and I remember sitting with my dad installing the game.

[stable remnant]

I think my first Ghost Recon was on the Gamecube

[ornate hornet]

Like There’s no need for It…That’s Just a collab Just to collab

[inland nymph]

Why wouldn't it be a good collab despite ghost recon being based in a modern setting?

[ornate hornet]

I aint saying it’s bad im just saying there’s no reason for it dats all

[inland nymph]

Maybe there's "we have enough of these skins so there's no reason for it" which I think is a good viewpoint.

[ornate hornet]

Ghost recon isn’t that popular too

[inland nymph]

Alright. You could have just made it clear from the start.

Ghost recon is a very old franchise that I remember watching my mum playing since I was 4.

The very first game by the way. getting shot out of nowhere was scary.

[ornate hornet]

Spongebob rollercoaster gif

[mint fern]

Also wait a second i just realized something folks. If we got nvg's in campaign WORKING ONES could this mean that we could get the return of night operations???

Later post launch of course but still

[inland nymph]

Who knows. Night levels have always been weird because they have to mess with the lighting of everything.

Cause of artificial lighting and all.

Ray traced lighting would literally enable them to make a night time map in less than a week or two.

[mint fern]

But not impossible! Because we already have night maps in campaign. Its a stretch but I'd love to see the return of it. Especially with the games tracers

[inland nymph]

Just imagine a map starting from 17:30 way into the early morning as the tickets go.

[humble mural]

Ohhh, night ops would be great but someone suggested that BF could attempt to implement a day night cycle to individual matches.

[inland nymph]

If 500 tickets go down it sends at midnight which alright but if it ends at a close game you can literally see the sun rise back up.

[ornate hornet]

Made me feel bad for the soldiers that gotta be fighting for like 10 hours straight

[inland nymph]

To be fair. They are literally trained.

Not made lol this isn't eugenics.

[humble mural]

Come on, they are pixelated. No need to feel bad for them

[mint fern]

So i wish that was possible but matches dont tend to progress that long so day night cycles for maps could be hard to implement, but making night versions of some maps would be amazing

[ornate hornet]

I’m Just an empath like that

[mint fern]

ESPECIALLY if we got Manhattan at night like omg the explosions and combat would go hard

[humble mural]

Alright, I am glad.

[inland nymph]

It's why I am an advocate for ray traced lighting because you can have the lighting do more at any moment.

[ornate hornet]

That would be cool to see

[inland nymph]

Have a rocket spread light out if it hits a wall, Have real time lighting.

[ornate hornet]

It would kill performance

[inland nymph]

Shoot a light and have that part of the street go dark.

Ray traced technology in battlefield will take a VERY long time for it to be properly utilised in gaming.

[mint fern]

With that pfp and that statement i understand. Never forget reach 🫡

[humble mural]

They did that in bf4 but they could also design separate night maps based on the campaign missions.

[inland nymph]

It is, Right now. A waste of resources. Dark ages got away with it because ID software sacrifices an employee yearly to John Romero.

[mint fern]

Exactly where my idea comes from

[stable remnant]

They certainly COULD..do a lot of things

[ornate hornet]

Thank u bro…REMEMBER REACH!!!!

[mint fern]

Yeah sadly doesn't mean they WILL tho

[inland nymph]

or was it John carmack.... I get confused sometimes.

Damn im shocked if so because of how little hype it got

[humble mural]

How long does the matchmaking take? 30 minutes? 40 minutes?

[vivid monolith]

No more than 10 minutes, you can also find them at the first shot

Sometimes

[hallow geode]

I was saying something like this the other week. I really want to see someone remake the free fall map from COD Ghosts. It wa a sideways skyscraper lodged between two other skyscrapers. It was awesome walking along the glass and seeing the city streets beneath your feet

[mint fern]

Exactly! My inspiration for asking that came from die rise on bo2 zombies

[hallow geode]

I have such fond memories of die rise

[hallow geode]

This will be amazing for the 3 people who didn't suffer through non stop playing to get it done asap and uninstall

[quartz mason]

i refuse to play bf2042 , this game is so odd . Theres no way it was made by DICE . shit feels like a startup project

[stable remnant]

Dice are a different company these days, different people

[mint fern]

Im sobbing rn with anger that i wasted so many hours grinding it with normal xp only to cave and give 10 dollars to skip more filler and get the very last skin (not actually sobbing of course lol)

[stable remnant]

Im level 23, and will probably stay there

[humble mural]

It had a rough and disrupted development cycle. To better understand it watch Tom Henderson's video on YT.

[quartz mason]

I know lol but still ... look at BF6 and 2042 , theres no way these people share the same brain lol

[hallow geode]

I used the 300 coins I had saved from like 5 seasons ago to skip 2 levels lol

[mint fern]

Mid 2042 there was some crazy changes being made behind the scenes

[quartz mason]

BUT i did play a bit 2042 its just not my type , it felt to much like it was trying to be something else . but the gunplau was ok

[hallow geode]

I'm just thinking about how if I didn't get the dead space skin with my coins then I would've been able to skip like 10 or so levels 😭

and all those coins I had were earned from the battlepass. Only thing I've ever bought on this game is the battlepasses from the seasons

[mint fern]

Im kinda sad at the realization of who we got on the bf6 developer team currently, because some of em are og's who worked on motorstorm waaay back on the ps3. Dunno who all remembers that game series.

[hallow geode]

OOF

[quartz mason]

Overall i think my issue is immersion , destruction and map design . the rest is okay , a solid 6/10 for me . maybe 6.5

[hallow geode]

sad? is that game not good or something?

[mint fern]

No it was amazing im sad that they've been officially taken away from the series because i miss it a lot the last game they made was drive club and it was so goood

[hallow geode]

Oooooh THEY made drive club? the one that was on PS4 with the insane weather physics?

[mint fern]

Because they got dragged into nfs unbound, then they were forced to move from nfs games momentarily to help work on battlefield content

[mint fern]

Yep

[stable remnant]

motorstorm was that..ps3 launch game right? it looked great at the time

[mint fern]

They're now part of criterion

[mint fern]

Yeah it was loved that game the series is amazing

[hallow geode]

I wanted to play driveclub a couple years ago but apparently it's so limited because the servers got shut down

and you can't buy it digitally I think

[mint fern]

I got a whole video talking about the series and those devs if y'all wanna know about it just dm me 👍

Wait i should specify i didnt make the video i just found it

Content creator i enjoy watching made a video about it and i learned what happened to the series and its devs

Its cool that they're working on the new battlefield but im sad they cant make another motorstorm or drive club

[merry dove]

Highkey, imo 2042 was honestly not even that bad of a game, its just not a great battlefield game

Kinda falling into the same ballpark as hardline for me

[stable remnant]

If you play on Portal without the silly characters and filter it to hardcore...its perfectly passable

[ornate hornet]

Am I the only person that doesn’t care about portal?

[merry dove]

ive never been a big hardcore enjoyer, but if thats a way for you to enjoy the game more power to you

[frank star]

Does anyone know if they’re selling this Battlefield 6 drop that includes a backpack, bottle, and customized items?

[ornate hornet]

Like what even is it

[merry dove]

portal in concept is pretty neat, just sad that it got completely overrun with botfarms

[vivid monolith]

You just reminded me that i have Hardline, i have to go back to it

[low spade]

I enjoyed 2042 when I played it (years after release) but I was like "Man this just makes me want to play battlefield"

[merry dove]

yee i played it a good bit on release and then just went back to bf4 and destiny 2

came back to it after the bf6 announcements and enjoyed it a good bit as a solo player

[chilly stratus]

Its EA way of saying they will never let us have our own servers again.

[merry dove]

started playing bf1 again as well last week after dropping it a week after launch, idk what it is with battlefield games but they hit so much harder a couple years after they're out

[stable remnant]

Are we expecting anything other than the Launch trailer in a week at this point?

[hidden compass]

i guess battlefield getting closer each day. im expecting that

https://x.com/BFBulletin/status/1971586684203758041 - Sneak peek at #Battlefield6's 'Warsaw' theme from Tokyo Game Show. WE ARE SO BACK!

The only way DICE can rival the BF1 trailer in views or at least in terms of a similarly incredible trailer is to use the new warsaw theme in the launch trailer for BF6.

[lucid mulch]

Battle of the field

I enjoy feeling the way of the water water

[hallow geode]

Idk why I said views cos thats impossible after multiple trailers have already released lol. You only get one shot at maximum views and thats the intial reveal trailer

[lucid mulch]

Delicious chicken for me to enjoy each day

Would anyone like some pieces of fried chicken tenders

There’s plenty for everyone to enjoy

[timid otter]

yea BF6 is cooked....the NY bridge map layout looks small as fuck

[lucid mulch]

It is finger licking good

[winter atlas]

The small map looks small? 😄

[timid otter]

i thought that map was supposed to be big

[brave herald]

Nope

[hallow geode]

No lol

[brave herald]

Mirek Valley, Firestorm, and Lib Peak, I think?

[timid otter]

lib peak not even that bih tbh

[brave herald]

maybe that Sorbek City too?

[stable remnant]

Sounds like a cheap copyright free version

[hallow geode]

Sobek City, Mirak Valley, Liberation Peak, Firestorm are the big maps

[balmy peak]

Battlefield 6 looks... 7.23/10.0

[winter atlas]

I hope we can make the small maps into large conquest maps in Portal.

[brave herald]

I did hear you can edit the boundries in portal.

To what extent, who knows.
Could just be like "how big this sector in Rush is"

[timid otter]

i was just about to say if we can make maps even bigger than firestorm and sobek city

[hallow geode]

The gameplay reveal event in july sounded way cleaner so could just be cos of how it was captured from tokyo event. We'll see on release or hopefully when the launch trailer drops

[stone sparrow]

Why can I not post in the clips or stream category? @hasty belfry

[stable remnant]

Well, just in comparrison to 3 + 4s themes. This is low effort and doesnt hit the same way. As someone who edited many many battlefield videos back in the day

[brave herald]

bro just pinged random dude

[sage elk]

Getting closer to release and that phantom edition sitting in cart ready to hit order…

[brave herald]

I don't think I'll bother with Phantom edition.

[sage elk]

I like the black camo…

[brave herald]

that's like $30 I could spend on another game lol

I couldn't care less about the cosmetics.

[echo yoke]

guys in your opinion how many players will 2042 have after bf6 releases?

[stable remnant]

new battlefield theme made with ai. what it soounds like

[hallow geode]

I always knew it was 110% guaranteed it wasn't going to top BF3-4 theme. Just having an attempt unlike 2042 is hype in my book

[sage elk]

Been so long since I bought a game so BF6 has me hyped into playing hours upon hours again

[winter atlas]

More than people think. As it has been all along.

if it's free, that's even worse!
EA won't be happy.

[stable remnant]

Id rather go to this random website you're trying to advertise and get people to sign up to 🤡

[winter atlas]

You are advertising your own website. But I'll let you andn the admins do their thing and see how it works out.

[stable remnant]

for a prize that doesnt exist

[stone sparrow]

My website ? Lol where? Bro you trying too hard i was just tryna inform my fellow BF6 guys of a possible way to get the game u dont want the info dont take it carry on have a nice day

[brave herald]

So does Portal have terrain editor?
Like could we change the mountain ranges in Lib. Peak?

[stable remnant]

we dont. Adios

[brave herald]

There is nothin' more expensive than somethin' that is free.

[stone sparrow]

@stable remnant adios beans and fitzwickets lmao

[haughty badge]

That was deep

[hallow geode]

So with how manhattan bridge doesn't actually have the bridge in the playable space..... didn't empire state have a bridge in the background too?

[brave herald]

Well it is the same zone

[stable remnant]

Its one map, with a line drawn down the middle. So now its two maps

[hallow geode]

Should've called it empire state 2 electric boogaloo with vehicles

[stable remnant]

honestly

[hidden compass]

so, where does it actually say you can win stuff?

the entire site looks like one of them fake 5 star review product pages that never gets delivers the item and steals credit card information.

[brave herald]

To my understanding, the maps are all connected, they just cookie-cutter them to make different maps.
When the beta was live, people glitched up into the air and you could see like actual detailed areas past the playable zones.

[hallow geode]

Should hopefully be able to play on the bridge in portal then 🙏

[brave herald]

Most likely.

[hallow geode]

If we can't add water to maps at launch then surely we can take the boats from battle royale and place them into the water that's already there on the manhattan maps

[brave herald]

Perhaps.

mod abuse!

[stable remnant]

Surely.........

[torpid phoenix]

Not yet but since Ripple Effect was dedicated to working on Portal, we'll see it post launch.

[stable remnant]

But why wouldn't they do that themselves

[brave herald]

They did mention future support post launch

[hallow geode]

because they are the fun police

[broken cedar]

They're going to have an official hardcore mode IIRC!

[torpid phoenix]

Looking at the terrain in the spatial editor, it looks like it could be deformed. Then you have perma terrain, like cliffwalls and what not.

[brave herald]

I saw some creator footage of Portal, you can do a Zombies mode-like content.
Looks nice.

[stable remnant]

They've been perfectly vague about it, while suggesting it, but never confirming it. 'they're experimenting with terrain editor'

[stable remnant]

i mean, thats already been done in 2042

Shocking they didnt hire 10 good creators already

[brave herald]

lowkey more hyped to make "new" maps in Portal than possibly the actual multiplayer

[torpid phoenix]

Yeah, people are gonna be remaking old maps and maps from other games. I want facing worlds.

[brave herald]

I want spawn points in the air, to air drop down into the map

[brave herald]

Last game I played was bf3/bc2 so no experience with portal stuff yet.

[stable remnant]

You get 1 free persistant server each, so make your map good

[stable remnant]

The fan made zombie modes in 2042 were actually decent, for a change. Pretty chill

[brave herald]

Do you think if they sold extra slots, people would get pissed?

[vapid yarrow]

How many days left before release? 10 days?

[hallow geode]

I remember when 2042 dropped and they had that crazy zombies mode where it was just endless AI running about and it broke the game cos you could unlock everything so quickly from killing all the AI 🤣 I think they fixed it like 48 hours after it launched tho. I took advantage of that mode and got like 4 weapons to tier 1 in just those 2 days lmao

[stable remnant]

I think its fine. People paid for custom servers before.

[vapid yarrow]

Can i buy phantom edition after release or i need to pre order now

[vale wadi]

Why do you want a boat so badly?

[brave herald]

you might be able to get a "digital upgrade" on steam

[vale wadi]

October 10

[hallow geode]

I'll do you one better. Why do you NOT?

[white moss]

So when they renaming Portal to Battlefield Forge?

[winter atlas]

Why would they, terrible name. Portal is much better.

[brave herald]

I think it'd be a nice option for a "subscription" service.
Just for example, like $3.99 per extra persistent server, per account.

[vale wadi]

I never said I didn’t. I think it’ll come in a season update

[hallow geode]

Wut lol why did you phrase your question like that then?

[white moss]

Think 5 was the last time we had a proper naval map

[brave herald]

I think naval combat would be neat.
But the maps would need to complement it too.
Otherwise I just see people sittin' on the side sniping or something xD

[vapid yarrow]

We all know that we'll have a Warship in BF6

[brave herald]

World of Warships, collab.

[vapid yarrow]

Like a pacific map or something

[hollow lance]

would love a snow map

[stable remnant]

know/assume

[brave herald]

I'd like night maps

[hallow geode]

I'd like to think they're focusing on the foundation of the game by making sure the typical experiences have good balanced maps for infantry/vehicles e.c.t. They might be taking their time to then bring out a big season dedicated to naval 🙏

[brave herald]

new maps can 100% support it via Portal, even if they don't actually put em in officially.

[reef mist]

I can't wait to see the player numbers of this next cod with secure boot on.

[winter atlas]

Snow maps are a pain to make though. For 2042 they had to create specific shaders etc. just for the ice if I recall correctly.

[vapid yarrow]

I noticed snow maps tends to be laggy

Maybe PC rig issue?

[brave herald]

possibly

[civic herald]

[stable remnant]

Those poor video game artists 🥲

[winter atlas]

Snow maps being laggy is not a thing as far as I know. Now the only snow map in 2042 is a very large map, so perhaps that has something to do with it.

[neon gyro]

snow maps make my eyes burn playing with HDR turned on

[civic herald]

I dont think alot of ppl want naval maps

[brave herald]

I'll take any variety.

[somber ravine]

I dont want full naval maps. But I want maps with some naval action. Like Paracel Storm

[brave herald]

Snow maps, Naval-supported maps, Night-only Maps, thunderstorm maps, sandstorm maps.
idc.

[civic herald]

Canal is so garbage in 2042

[brave herald]

I do no think anythin' from 2042 should be used as a reference point for how well somethin' was done.

[somber ravine]

ooh night maps would be rad. Or even dynamic time of day on custom long-ticket servers. Like a day/night transition. Weather would be great if they added that to maps again

[hallow geode]

As the official #1 fan of Naval warfare. I too do not want just a wide open stretch of water with no infantry. I want a balanced map where everybody can enjoy it. Helicopters, tanks and boats. I don't really see the point in a naval map without having every single vehicle type. Maybe you could remove jets for some of the naval maps to mix it up but other than that I think naval maps should generally be catered to everyone.

[wind kettle]

EA should make polls before each season to see what ppl really want

[stable remnant]

Like Gulf of Oman + Wake island, The charge from warships on helis, boats + jets towards objectives is as much battlefield as the rest of the gameplay

[civic herald]

I think canal is a bf3 map pulled to bf2042

[brave herald]

Definitely would be neat, have to custom apply certain scopes or attachments.

[white moss]

Cod shipment map 128 players let's go

[hallow geode]

It takes a long time to build new maps. They better be doing those polls now if you want to impact season 3 and beyond

Season 2 is probably almost finished

[wind kettle]

Yeah you right

[white moss]

Where season 2 taking place?

[hallow geode]

Rumours suggest tahla market remake will be part of it

[wind kettle]

I like your name exactly what i want to see lol

[hallow geode]

I think propoganda remake will be part of it, but it won't take place in north korea

[winter atlas]

Navel maps are a pain to make fun. Especially if there are large ships etc. RHIB boats etc. though, now that can easily work out, large ships, submarines etc. much harder.

[hallow geode]

Hell yeah. Another member to the club 🚢

[white moss]

I'm not asking for a whole bunch of naval maps. One good one will suffice.

[hallow geode]

Just let us add water to any map in portal and I'll rest easy

[white moss]

I know we can't modify the land but I'm wondering if we can just raise the water level

[broken cedar]

Boats are great

[stable remnant]

I would hope so but i know better

[brave herald]

Were aircraft carriers in any of the older bf maps?

[stable remnant]

yis

[somber ravine]

oh yes, quite a few

[broken cedar]

Hell yeah there were

[somber ravine]

You could even steer/drive the carriers

[brave herald]

I think it'd be cool to see those again.
Even if the maps aren't 100% naval maps.

[wind kettle]

Bf4 naval warfare

[hearty kelp]

rhib was a genuinely fun glass cannon in 4, the minigun on any vehicle just absolutely shreds. the rcb though is just a water tank except now it can TV and TOW

i feel as though the rcb was an issue

also not to mention the PWC/jetski is a literal team wide spawn beacon

[somber ravine]

I hope they eventually add full modding map support to Portal. Like the ability to import custom meshes/textures. Otherwise every experience is always going to be a bit janky. Like that video that came out showing off "Dust" from CounterStrike - it was just a bunch of flat grey concrete blocks that were squashed and stretched into the dust layout. It looked absolutely terrible.

[brave herald]

Like even if they're stationary in each team's base, to take off of with jets, or helis.
And rivers to use boats on, instead of jeeps.

[brave herald]

I think those were all just proof of concepts.
But also everyone's creative skill will be different.

[hallow geode]

The map overview layout spawn screens seem to be very misleading for how big the maps actually are. Someone put together a size comparison and manhattan bridge's base spawns are bigger than the entirety of empire state lol

[white moss]

I don't see why not as long as the stuff comes from public domain/free use.

[quiet plover]

Return of commander mode?

[wind kettle]

That can be solved if they make blocks with different textures layouts

[next rain]

Bring back Strike at Karkand , please 🙂

[hallow geode]

Mirak Valley has 5 capture points yet liberation peak has 6. This is why the map overview layout screens are so misleading for what the actual size in game will be like lol

[winter atlas]

You can't assume the distance between flags are the same.

[civic herald]

r u a labubu

[fathom ocean]

can we just like fast forward time n shit to like the 10th but like really the 11th incase theres game breaking bugs n shit

[sullen belfry]

I think considering the number of U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force vehicles (not to mention the NATO soldier skins are U.S. Army, British Army, etc.) I don’t think the focus of this multiplayer is naval.

[winter atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-stupidity-stupid-gif-22567774

[sullen belfry]

Even in the single player the majority of the NPCs and vehicles are US Army, other than the player character squad.

[hallow geode]

yeah ofc just so weird to think that a ginormous map like mirak valley has fewer flags than liberation

I'm sure there's a good design/balance reason behind it. Just weird to think about on paper

[winter atlas]

There are not many flags because the maps are big. The number of flags are determined by how the maps flows.

[hallow geode]

I do like the idea of a really big map having fewer flags. Will probably make for more epic fights on those flags

[worn marten]

A lot of running from spawn to a fight

[next rain]

i dont get it why the game release at 17:00 ... horrible time

[broken cedar]

Gives a lot more tension

[hallow geode]

I mean those fewer flags could be much larger?

[next rain]

i prefer morning 😄

[hallow geode]

I doubt it'll have the same problem as a 2042 map. It won't be THAT big to run into that problem. Pun intended

[broken cedar]

It's why I like big maps - you have to fight across open ground, darting from cover to cover as you go. Not 2042 big but like, larger conquest maps are fun

[mint fern]

Wait is mirak valley actually that big?

[broken cedar]

Not really no

[hallow geode]

It's the largest map in the game but it's not 2042 big no

[mint fern]

Oh damn

[broken cedar]

It's not even BF1 big from what I can see

[mint fern]

Oof

Thats kinda disappointing

I hope they really cook up some bigger maps tbh

[broken cedar]

Though according to some people the first DLC maps look big so at least we might get some more nice big maps

[mint fern]

Lets hope

[hallow geode]

Yep badlands is huge

[mint fern]

Because the size is gonna be a big issue for a lot of players, it was a big complaint in the beta as is

[broken cedar]

Also you can change the out of bounds areas in Portal so the Cairo map could be expanded a lot, or you can chunk off parts of the BR map which is apparently massive

[hallow geode]

idk how big downtown from BFH is but that'll be part of season 1 I believe too

[next rain]

i like more combat action and nonstop tension , better than running on big map like crazy

[civic herald]

Did they say no 128 player games

[next rain]

what

[broken cedar]

luckily they already have maps for that sorted pretty well

[hallow geode]

One of the season 1 maps has all vehicles so it seems they're gonna focus on larger maps in the seasons now that we have plenty of small maps in the base game

[civic herald]

"Battlefield 6 cut player counts back to 64 players because 2042’s larger teams simply didn’t work - “we do what the players want”"

[mint fern]

I believe you can get a mix of both with big maps and plenty of nonstop tension. They just gotta do it right

[next rain]

i want 64vs64 jesuuuus

[mint fern]

True, but at the same time, where's my siege of Shanghai damnit

[broken cedar]

I've got nothing against small maps existing, I just want big maps for lots of vehicle combat as well. Gotta have a good mix - also you can make large maps feel small by focusing on specific objectives, and if they're built well they'll have infantry combat areas.

[hallow geode]

I don't see why that wouldn't be in portal. No reason to not include it as an option surely

[broken cedar]

Siege of Shanghai wasn't actually that big tbh

[low spade]

64vs64 felt awful on most maps, even though they were huge

[broken cedar]

BF netcode is the reason, it's always been kinda ass

[mint fern]

Didn't have to be for me, it made up for it with the skyscraper

And the levelution

[next rain]

felt like true hardcore , total chaos , it was so good

[broken cedar]

Oh for sure, but Mirak valley should be around that size

[low spade]

The chaos was fun for a short time, but it emits the exact complaints that people had with the beta being too "chaotic" and too much combat with little down-time

[stable remnant]

They used to make big maps and then cut them up into small maps for different modes. Now we get small maps and..we need to make them bigger? potentially?

[broken cedar]

Cairo specifically looks like it has been modeled so you could have a much bigger map, given what people found when jumping around on rooftops and stuff. There's geometry for a lot of the city there

[hallow geode]

Well we know we can place skyscrapers down on a map in portal so I'm sure someone will create it 😉 and with the battle royale having full on skyscraper levelling (idk if you knew about that) then portal could allow us to make a REAL DEAL siege of shanghai 🙏

[civic herald]

Cairo plays worse with ppl on the rooftops

Glad they clarified no one is suppose to be up there

[mint fern]

Omg yess. But the issue is can we edit the insides

[broken cedar]

well with the ladder it's gonna happen so

[civic herald]

They said your not suppose to get there with ladders either

[broken cedar]

IDK what they're thinking because people are gonna find a way. Wedge a vehicle up against a building and using it as stairs, using ladders, etc. People find a way.

[stable remnant]

I cast doubt on being able to place skyscrapers with full destruction but am prepared to eat my pants

[tight prism]

Dont believe ladders going to be the ultimate tool

[hallow geode]

That would be sick. We need working elevators too, not just zipline ones

[broken cedar]

They're gonna be great for getting places you shouldn't. I personally probably won't use 'em much as I'm more a "rush in and die" kinda guy

[next rain]

i cant wait to use mortar 😄 like in BF1 and 3 😄 insane thing 😄

[civic herald]

Well its been fixed alrdy meaning if ppl find a way itll be fixed again

Rooftop ruined alot of ppls experiences with cairo

[unreal grove]

We're officially less than two weeks now

Is there a pre order discount?

[silver sonnet]

but what about a ship graveyard. Big storm tossed tons of opposing ships into each other on a landmass, forming crazy ass lanes in the water and areas for infantry, plus naval warfare all around it

[next rain]

in our region relase it at 17:00 ... horrible time 🙁

[silver sonnet]

man they should hire me.

[unreal grove]

rooftop is a nightmare on Pearl Market

[hallow geode]

Hire this man DICE

[worn marten]

Whenever I see mirak valley I can’t not just think about Skyrim

[broken cedar]

It's battlefield, the sandbox has so many options it's impossible for them to patch out everything without nerfing certain gadgets and stuff. But if they can at least make it difficult to do, that should restrict solo recons from going up there

[unreal grove]

good idea

[broken cedar]

M'aiq valley

[civic herald]

"We observed some players finding a way to reach rooftops and venture out of bounds. This gameplay is not intended for these maps, and the upcoming ladder for the Assault class is also not designed to access these areas. We’re actively working on adjustments to prevent unintended access and ensure gameplay stays within the intended boundaries."

[hallow geode]

The density of that map was nutty

[broken cedar]

I know they're trying, I'm just saying it's impossible to do with BF being as much of a sandbox as it is. They players are always trying to get places they shouldn't, it's part of the fun

[glacial laurel]

when are they releasing Talah Market and Propaganda?

[unreal grove]

I played it last night and was getting spawnkilled constantly

[unreal grove]

ooo propoganda would be great in the new Frostbite

[stable remnant]

rendering the ladder, totally useless. Spend 30seconds trying to place the thing with a red outline just to get shot

[glacial laurel]

it's coming.. just asking if people know when cause of the leaks lol

[hallow geode]

A couple months ago I was playing on it and it was a really underpopulated server so it was just me and 3 other guys. We were just fighting in the buses exclusively lol. Was kinda fun

[silver sonnet]

Propoganda was kinda meh to me. too much of just a funneled meat grinder experience, not enough ability to flank

[broken cedar]

Playing old BF maps in Portal on 6 would be peak, with the gameplay being much more close to the older games it'd feel a lot better than 2042

[hearty kelp]

let's just hope creativity with the ladder doesn't get slaughtered like spawn banners did in Mordhau

[broken cedar]

It'll probably be nerfed for the infantry maps, but the big conq maps it doesn't matter if you get somewhere you shouldn't be if there's a helo/jet/tank that can blast your butt to space

[silver sonnet]

remember guys, the best counter-sniping is done with a tank shell. Help your fellow infantry buddies.

[broken cedar]

It's very funny seeing people complain about snipers in certain buildings in all chat and then just driving up with a tank

Or blowing the building to pieces with C4

[willow jasper]

Blood Gulch from Halo 1 in BF6 sandbox, imagine

[glacial laurel]

yeah that wouldnt work at all

[hearty kelp]

(they patched out 95% of creative spots for it)

[broken cedar]

"Why are we here?"

[hearty kelp]

need my no-line-of-sight javelin locks back

[frozen igloo]

Given what I’m hearing and seeing about it, I wonder if it’s possible to delay the campaign specifically with the rest of the game still coming out? I really want it to be good cause I like the world but I don’t want a mid campaign to drag down the title (I know plenty of people don’t care about campaign but still)

[broken cedar]

You can paint targets there's got to be some kind of no-line-of-sight stuff

[willow lance]

Or with AK205

[hearty kelp]

as long as one of them is the javelin I will happily buy this game

[willow jasper]

not enough cover?

[frozen igloo]

Caused based on the beta, the mp seems ready. The campaign doesn’t

[broken cedar]

Might be a different launcher. Also there's top-attack grenades now which seems nutty

[hearty kelp]

if I see a clip of a javelin locking onto a tank behind a wall I'm preordering

[willow jasper]

get the card out because there is one

[hearty kelp]

hands down best part of 4

[hearty kelp]

SEND IT NOW

[broken cedar]

Like an AT grenade you throw and then it pops a parachute above the tank and explodes down on top of it

[stable remnant]

I would like it to be good too. But they'll never delay it. They would rather take the hit than the bad pr of 'not being ready' even though they're not

Better to release

[broken cedar]

Honestly due to it being a separate install I feel like they really should do this but I doubt they will

[willow jasper]

I'll have to find it, it was during a yt video from the mirak valley/firestorm showcase

"im locking on from behind this rock wth"

[hearty kelp]

the thing that made bf4 so special for me is the fact lasing is mechanically designed in a way to allow you to go "hey, bro in comms, want to focus this tank with a funny laser pointer?" and be massively effective with it

[frozen igloo]

That’s the thing though, I think they could get away with just delaying the campaign itself, and having the title be mp only for like a couple of seasons. Then the campaign gets released in another few months

[hallow geode]

a lot of outsiders will trash the game just because of the campaign being mid. It's gonna hurt the game regardless of how many people care about campaign or not

[stable remnant]

i agree. But it's too late. They've committed

[broken cedar]

All chat is back baby, you can ask politely for a lase and have the enemy team flame you for it at the same time 🙏

[frozen igloo]

I love good sp campaigns. And I’m interested in the world they have built up with this pseudo Nato civil war with old members versus Pax

[broken cedar]

I love BF all chat so much. It gets so unhinged it's glorious

[willow jasper]

yeah ngl can't imagine launching campaign day 1 on the game

[stable remnant]

i love replying to people who meant to type in team

[broken cedar]

Not in the state we saw it in. If that's it nearly finished, there's 0 way it's ready to go

[broken cedar]

I love doing that and then it somehow being turned into a debate on the virtues of tomboys or some random stuff

[hallow geode]

I love seeing enemies discuss their plans in all chat and I'm just like "Aite bet"

[frozen igloo]

Even with like a day one patch it just doesn’t seem polished enough

[willow jasper]

yeah i wouldnt mind if they held it back for a while, my only interest is multi

[broken cedar]

Gives me something to do while I'm waiting for a res or dead

[hearty kelp]

Sadly asking for a lase in 4 results in nothing 90% of the time, which is why having a friend to do it became necessary

That being said, EXTREMELY good state in 4

[hallow geode]

A day 1 patch is confirmed for the camaign. The devs told the creators who got access to the 3 missions that most if not all the bugs and issues they experienced should be fixed in the patch. Obviously that is EXTREMELY unlikely to be true, but it's interesting to hear the devs say that

[civic herald]

Guys why did they remove holding button to stall bleed out

[stable remnant]

you can customise that

[civic herald]

Oh ok

[frozen igloo]

The problem is like its encounter design and AI as well. I saw footage of the one mission where the “setpiece” was just launching a drones at slow moving jeeps and it just looked laughably bad

[stable remnant]

made me want to replay Bad Company 2 + Battlefield 3

[hallow geode]

The fact THOSE are missions that they thought would be the best ones to show off to the public before release does not instil much confidence in me for the rest of the missions lol

[frozen igloo]

I don’t even think the while thing looks that bad, seems on with par with BF4 but the problem is BF4’s campaign from a gameplay perspective was really not good

[hallow geode]

the drone jeep mission feels like it's straight out of a 2008 game lol

[stable remnant]

It looked very on rails. Animation, gameplay

[hallow geode]

BF3 is an absolute masterpeice in comparison to what we've seen from BF6's campaign

[stable remnant]

ye

[broken cedar]

Well, the problem wasn't bugs. The problem was the campaign didn't feel epic even though it's a setpiece campaign. A setpiece campaign only works if it feels like you're in a movie, and judging from the footage I've seen this one really doesn't feel like that.

[broken cedar]

It looks SO BAD

[frozen igloo]

The New York mission looked like the best one. Everything seemed to more or less be there aside from enemy AI. But even then it had a section that was very clearly just poor man’s Clean House

[broken cedar]

"Here, have these enemies fly/drive at you and have no pressure at all as you launch this drone. Have fun!"

[hearty kelp]

I should mention that lasing makes the sweatiest of the sweats mad in bf4, because it's one of the only things that dead stops a 116-3 killstreak

i sincerely enjoy it for that reason

[hallow geode]

I actually think playing the campaign on hard mode would be the worst thing to do. Not because it'll be too difficult but because it will highlight how laughable the AI is lol

[hearty kelp]

bot, noob, crop, you name it they start mouthing off

[broken cedar]

I'm down to be laser man at some point, painting targets is fun

[urban robin]

i got a question

[frozen igloo]

They really needed to have it where at least the rest of the squad was already engaged in a fire fight with infantry and you’re having to take out reinforcements in the vehicles so at least it feels like there is some type of fight going on around you.

[hearty kelp]

the suav is underrated for this purpose

[hallow geode]

If we're lucky they surprise drop portal a couple days before launch then someone whips up a quick little campaign and we all just play that instead

[broken cedar]

That would definitely work

[hearty kelp]

so take the ucav, remove the explosive element, make it last longer and fly slower and then put a LASER DESIGNATOR on the front and you have the suav

[broken cedar]

Community competition to make a better campaign than the Battlefield Studios can

[hearty kelp]

anyone who hides behind 0.1cm of rock discovers that it won't save them and they get topdowned by the funny paper plane and die

[hallow geode]

Challenge accepted ✅

[civic herald]

Can they make lasers work even when enemy flares

[frozen igloo]

It was pretty interesting to see that at least according to them you can do custom AI scripting and cut scenes and stuff with the portal editor, which if true is absolutely insane

[stable remnant]

I put my money on the community

Co-op campaign

[hearty kelp]

Personally mechanic wise flares last very short as they should, I don't mind them throwing off any rockets

HOWEVER, I hope ECM is not added, and if it does it shouldn't stop missiles already incoming ever, and it should be a very short duration

[willow lance]

I will probably play it in hardcore

[frozen igloo]

I don’t know if you guys played far cry 5 but they had a feature called arcade and people could make custom levels in there. Some of them were actually really good. I remember playing a full remake of the intro mission from call of duty world of war made in Far Cry and it was pretty good lmao

[hallow geode]

Imagine allowing us to use our own voice in gamechat and record our voice onto the AI to make the cutscenes. Then a viral creation comes out and some of us start getting called for voice acting jobs 🤣

[civic herald]

Bruh in 2042 they last like 10 seconds

[hearty kelp]

that was the problem in 4, is that ECM lasts 7 seconds and has only a 13 second recharge making afterburner escapes extremely easy

[broken cedar]

I believe they do, you need IR smoke to disrupt the IR laser

[hearty kelp]

Haha you'd throw your controller playing 4 vs some of these nolifers

Strafe, ECM, run, strafe, ECM, run

[hallow geode]

Well you're skipping launch so the AI should be serviceable by the time you play

[civic herald]

Helicopters and planes need to be shot down easy if you have the right tools

2042 they are impossible to kill if skilled

[willow lance]

Nah, BF4 campaign is still buggy today, they won’t fix the campaign

[stable remnant]

MY gosh.. Look at this beauty.. Far Cry Map Editor 🥲 https://youtu.be/TvE-Xl_U5Rs

[hearty kelp]

I concur, the #1 tool should be the soflam and the javelin should oneshot

[orchid cairn]

Now that all of the launch maps have been shown in size there is a great variety here. Much better than I initially thought.

[stable remnant]

We had it so good. 20 years ago

[broken cedar]

Yeah, with coordination and the correct tools it should be an easy takedown

[hallow geode]

Tbf that was back in a time where campaigns didn't get patches. These days every singleplayer experience gets numerous patches after launch

[frozen igloo]

As long as they’re not as powerful as they are in 2042. I’m good with the air vehicles. They’re an absolute menace in 2042 unless the pilot is clueless

[broken cedar]

I wouldn't say one shot given how many rockets an engi can carry in this.

[hearty kelp]

which is why I rate soflam so highly, it requires one person dedicating themselves to painting

[frozen igloo]

Portal feels nostalgic in the sense where like every game in the 2000s would release with its SDK and map editor as just like a bonus feature

I remember Crysis doing that

[hearty kelp]

I would, because if it just deals 90 then they land and repair like nothing happened. It's an anti-TANK launcher imo, it should absolutely vaporize anything in the air

[stable remnant]

Yeah XD no advertising, its just..there

[hallow geode]

I never doubted it. They also did an interview recently talking about how the small infantry focused maps were the most challenging to stress test and create because of the density and big playercount in such small spaces so it makes sense why they focused on those for beta

[hearty kelp]

i just hope the javelin has a good velocity here because in 2042 it was absolutely terrible

[stable remnant]

Anyone complaining about not having resources nowadays to do this are eating bags of 💩

candy

[frozen igloo]

Well, to be fair a lot of games these days are made in unreal. You don’t really need to bundle your own SDK when the engine is as accessible as it is.

[broken cedar]

I do get why they might not do that, but it is very satisfying to swat helos out of the air with a javelin

[chilly finch]

In 2042 a lot of players doesn’t care about kills helis or planes, sometimes people just need to switchs massive on engineers and no vehicles would stay alive, but no recon use the 2042 soflam and no one read the chat to put a solid team strategy

[broken cedar]

Frostbite >>>>> UE5

[glacial laurel]

unreal slop 5🤮

[pallid dirge]

I'm exited in 2 weeks

[frozen igloo]

As an engine, UE5 is a great tool. It’s just that because it’s so accessible pretty much everyone can make an asset flip or use its workflows and not give a damn about stuff like optimization.

[broken cedar]

Nobody played 2042 for a long time so there's also that. All the team players bounced back to BF4, BF1, and BF5

[frozen igloo]

Frostbite is of course proprietary but what I’ve heard frostbite has problems in that isn’t really documented that well

[broken cedar]

If UE5 is so great why are they already making UE6??? (this is a joke)

[silver sonnet]

for the merch!

[broken cedar]

Neither is UE5. Let's be honest, no toolset is very well documented when you get into industry stuff ;-;

[frozen igloo]

I don’t know if that’s still the case now though I heard this back in like the Mass Effect Andromeda/Dragon Age Inquisition days

I mean, I would say Unreals documentation is really good honestly

[broken cedar]

Well, actually Azure DevOps is pretty well documented but that's an outlier

[frozen igloo]

Even outside of officially there’s a lot of resources to learn it and like video tutorials and stuff

[broken cedar]

according to dev teams using it it's not well documented for the nitty-gritty stuff that you need for optimization

[frozen igloo]

Obviously, with a proprietary engine, there’s not gonna be any type of like academy or intro course

[broken cedar]

They probably have an internal one tbh, or at least I hope they have some kind of onboarding process

[hallow geode]

https://x.com/BF_Portal_Hub/status/1971232487042134078/photo/1 ZIBA TOWER IN PORTAL

[frozen igloo]

You would hope but that’s where I’ve heard that they struggled so

[broken cedar]

Yeah with Bioware games, Frostbite just wasn't built for that kind of thing. It was built for Battlefield-style multiplayer experiences

[frozen igloo]

I feel like one of the reasons they didn’t give like just a flat map for people to go nuts is that the community would remake every single battlefield map from every game within like a month

[broken cedar]

All the documentation was probably geared in that direction as well, especially back then

[broken cedar]

They have a flat map I think?

At least I saw someone say something about that

[frozen igloo]

I believe Jack said they were “considering” it

[broken cedar]

Ah

[stable remnant]

Very similar...Almost matches up ye

[hard ravine]

Just watched a video showing some streamer raging so hard on Twitter because they "nerfed" movement lol. Why don't these sweaty streamer nerds just stay on COD, instead of always trying to turn everything else into it?

[stable remnant]

Exactly

[sand spear]

Because they realized cod sucks cheeks now and in stead of trying a new game the infect it with there Army of cod nerds

[hasty pecan]

The movement doesn't even look that different

[stable remnant]

But its 100% what they should do

[hard ravine]

Oh sorry streamer boy, you have to rely on aiming and teamwork instead of dressing up as a ninja turtle and zipping around sliding and slide canceling crap.

[broken cedar]

They just nerfed repeat jumps/slides and shit, so any normal player won't really notice

[hard ravine]

Yeah pretty much. Shit I wouldn't even be made if they put a stamina bar in the game.

[hasty pecan]

Ahh. So less of that spazzy shit

[broken cedar]

Nah how it felt in the beta was perfect when playing it normally, I love that they just nerfed the repeat stuff so people can't make it a zoomer shooter

[hasty pecan]

I heard cod doubled down on movement too lol. So I guess they can go there

[hard ravine]

Yeah I agree the beta felt fine, except the crazy parachute speed lol. Other than that I liked it. I never tried breaking the movement system so I wouldn't even know what the COD guys are mad about lol. I'm so glad DICE is finally listening some to the regular Battlefield guys

[grave meteor]

Hey everyone. I’m trying to find a squad to join up with for the launch of the BF. Not sure if this is the right channel for that

[broken cedar]

I will forget by then

[hasty pecan]

Same. And I always did fine. Felt like a good game

[sand spear]

LFG channel will be better

[broken cedar]

The beta hit the sweet spot of gunplay and movement for me, though I do get why they're increasing the recoil of the weapons as they did feel a bit samey

[hard ravine]

I honestly loved the beta. I wasn't expecting much going in. It's pretty rare to be happily surprised nowadays in the gaming industry lol

[broken cedar]

Dude this is definitely the best beta BF has ever had in terms of polish

And it was so long before release they could use the data to polish even more. It really makes me wonder why tf they're planning to go to a yearly release schedule, this is perfect

[hard ravine]

From what I've been reading they aren't actually planning a yearly release. Was just a dumb money hungry exec at EA running his mouth lol

[broken cedar]

It's not like you'd put out the beta for the next game like 10 months after the previous and then release the next game on the year. It'd just make no sense.

Also post-launch support would be hell

[broken cedar]

Thank GOD

[orchid cairn]

I'm tired of cod players bitching about this game because they want it to be a cod they're not getting. Before I didn't pay attention to them much but I'm seeing them more now. When I jump into a lobby if someone joins my squad complaining how it's not cod or movement is this/that I'm kicking. Go play bo7. Go to that.

[broken cedar]

BF is a game that can live for more than one year, people still play the old ones.

[broken cedar]

Some guy in the beta was complaining about weapon bloom and stuff and I was so confused as the gunplay felt great to me

Oh also was complaining about how the bullets come out of the barrel which I think they do even in CoD so I was so confused

[orchid cairn]

You build a great bf people will stay. Look at BF4 servers. There are still a lotttt of people who play it. Servers are packed. It's just that simple.

[hard ravine]

The way Portal is sounding, and with the way graphics are now. This engine could last a decade. Lookat BF1, almost 10 years old and STILL looks better than 90% of games coming out now. A yearly release they want? Just use the same engine, keep Portal, and every year release some Portal upgrades and maybe a war. Like Next year? a huge DLC making a 2142. Year after? World War 2, after that? World War 1. All using the same engine BF6 is on.

[broken cedar]

For sure. I keep saying I'd pay for a crossplay + new maps expansion for BF1 even to this day

[arctic relic]

35+ year old battledad don't mention cod for 24 hours challenge impossible

[broken cedar]

Nah the cod players are mentioning BF too, we're back to the good ol CoD vs Battlefield days. Console wars are dead, but shooter wars shall live on

[hard ravine]

Not until it's out probably lol. The streaming and "influencer" or "creator" crap nowadays. The little guys basically has to scream the same thing every day and get everyone else to do the same to be heard by game devs XD

[orchid cairn]

What they need to do is keep supporting BF6 for awhile and release dlc packs with multiple maps. Each dlc was theme oriented. If they do that this could be the greatest BF6. The folks who were around during the old days know exactly what I'm talking about.

[brave herald]

bf6 Vietnam

[arctic relic]

you tell em bro you should be the head of EA with that great way of thinking

[stable remnant]

I assumed this IS what they're planning

[hard ravine]

Bro I remember waiting MONTHS, buying Premium when I couldn't afford it, just to get a week's early access for BF3's Aftermath DLC lol. They should bring back that type of DLC. Everyone got so hyped.

[broken cedar]

They won't do paid DLC packs unfortunately, it splits the player base (even though I think it's a better way to do monetization than battlepasses). I would love to see them doing something like the Helldivers warbonds though

[orchid cairn]

Maps weren't just thrown in for the hell of it in the old days. Each dlc was theme based.

[stable remnant]

4 maps each dlc 😩

[orchid cairn]

You paid the year pass and you got all the dlc

[hard ravine]

Bad Company 2's Vietnam DLC will prolly go down as the best DLC ever released.

[stable remnant]

Yes.

[broken cedar]

I rember those days. I kinda wish they'd do that but they won't.

[arctic relic]

I wonder why all the battlefield veterans don't simply go play Squad or Arma if they want to turn BF into a milsim shooter so bad? It's what they want no?

[broken cedar]

Bait used to be believable

[arctic relic]

Ah but when you vets say go back to cod it's all good right? hypocrites lmao

[stable remnant]

I am mad

[orchid cairn]

If you didn't buy the pass for the old dlc you didn't get it. Wasn't our fault you didn't want to participate. It didn't break apart the community at all. You could only play on the maps you had. You want to play the dlc get the pass. Plus the pass was well worth what you got. Wellllll worth it.

[broken cedar]

Keep trying bud I'm younger than the cod streamers trying to make BF into their next piggy bank

[hard ravine]

Uh, no. Some people work full time jobs and don't have 2 hours to play 1 round. Battlefield HC mode is perfect for jumping in and having fun in a semi-realistic arcade military shooter

[brave herald]

did they change engines at some point since bf3, or still frostbite?

[broken cedar]

Also nobody wants BF to be a milsim.

[hallow geode]

Checking out IGN's video of the singleplayer campaign tokyo game show with the devs chatting and stuff. Literally EVERY single time you fast forward or rewind it plays 2 long ads. EVERY SINGLE TIME lol do IGN not have enough gold plated toilets yet?

[hard ravine]

I think we found someone mad they cant slide cancel and bounce around XD

[broken cedar]

No it's still frostbite

[brave herald]

that's one impressive engine ngl

[broken cedar]

New versions of frostbite obvs but still frostbite

[hard ravine]

I think Frostbite has got to be one of the best engines out there. Imagine if they let everyone use it like Unreal Engine. We'd have so many better games coming out all the time.

[broken cedar]

People used to hate that and it definitely did split the playerbase - but now the playerbase is much bigger so it should be less of an issue

[orchid cairn]

I'm not a milsim fan entirely. Just a modern setting with modern guns. The old games weren't 💯 milsim either. There was an arcade aspect to it. It was balanced so anyone could jump in and have fun yet could be complex if you wanted it to be.

[civic herald]

Is sliding make you have more bloom

[hard ravine]

Yep. Teamwork > monkey jumping around being Serious Sam killing everyone

[civic herald]

Sometimes I slide around corners and shoot ppl camping

[orchid cairn]

The idea that bf was this hardcore milsim experience entirely is bs. Was never the case. Cod fans go away. Jesus fn christ.

[bitter pulsar]

can we ask questions about the play test here?

[broken cedar]

Yeah, Battlefield has never been a milsim and has always had some arcadey aspects to it. It's just less arcadey than CoD usually. But classic 'Battlefield moments' are by no means realistic or anything.

[urban turret]

Is it possible to buy BF6 with the EA Play 10 % discount and get it on Steam?

[hard ravine]

I never had a problem with being able to crouch slide into cover. Or around a corner. But who in the fk could slide 6 times in 1 second and cover 40m of ground lol. Thats when it gets so stupid

[broken cedar]

I don't think you'll have it on your steam acct, but you can add non-steam games to steam to be able to launch them

[broken cedar]

Even the bhopping in 4 was silly

[hard ravine]

Yeah I agree. Or dolphin diving in BF2

[civic herald]

It shouldnt make you go faster then sprinting but it should be like a burst a speed maybe with a stop at end idk

To make ou harder to hit

[broken cedar]

Nah it should slow you down at the end and be a tradeoff, you're no longer putting energy into your movement, why would you speed up?

[hallow geode]

I'm not sure why the devs spoke so slowly and clearly at the tokyo game show event..... There's a translator there for a reason no? If anything the first dev that spoke was actually hard to understand for english viewers sometimes because of how insanely over the top he was talking that he messed up a bunch of words lol

[broken cedar]

Though I could see it speeding you up slightly at the beginning of the slide as you're kinda diving

[civic herald]

I did say stop at end but in the beginning its fast

[hard ravine]

Yeah basically I feel like sliding should 99% be used to get into cover, or just crouch quick for better aiming. Wierd in games when you have dudes bunny hopping and sliding around like they're actually saying "cant hit a moving target" while doing it out in the open lol

[civic herald]

Ppl like camping corners so it like only way to win

[hard ravine]

thats what grenades are for bruh lol

[civic herald]

We only get like 1

[sand spear]

I’m so hyped

[broken cedar]

c4 the wall they're behind

[civic herald]

Usually unless im support I get 1 grenade per life

[broken cedar]

tell your assault to grenade them, your engi to rocket the wall, or your recon to c4 it

[civic herald]

You cant c4 every wall or get behind it like in the cairo b point theres so many ppl camping cornerrs

[hard ravine]

you get smokes too. some people hate camping, but thats another reason I play HC usually. its just more realistic. I dont need to want a "milsim" to enjoy some realism. You have a bunch of enemy around IRL and you're by yourself, I am 100% betting you're camping instead of running out sliding like rambo lol

[sand spear]

The stop theirheart with a defib

[civic herald]

Bruh hardcore is camper heaven

I play to win game not survive like in real life

[hard ravine]

You find a lot more ppl communicating and using mics in HC. Let the bros know there's some douche sniper on the hill

[broken cedar]

I don't like camping but there are so many ways to deal with campers in battlefield. Just use your gadgets

Or like, don't go in that door? BF maps, even the small ones, have other ways to get places

[civic herald]

Alot of bf players dont know how to push or dont want to push

[hallow geode]

"My imagination could not capture what we see on screen" is a quote from one of the people involved with the campaign...... uhhhh lol

[hard ravine]

That's why you gotta get some buddies to play. I always loved BF because it was more about teamwork and being Rambo.

[orchid cairn]

BF3 / BF4 campaigns weren't great either. Were they bad. Hell no. Were they fun. Hells yes. The old BF campaigns felt tacked on also. The ones who are whining about the BF6 campaign are being ridiculous. BF2042 didn't even have a campaign. Bf campaigns purpose was to give a taste of what the overall game will be.

[stable remnant]

[hard ravine]

That's why I've always loved BF. Its far more about teamwork then being the 1 man wrecking crew Rambo. You need to find a squad of bros

[civic herald]

Sometimes you have to be a rambo cus your team dies in seconds

[broken cedar]

I wish that it felt epic like BF3's did. The story and characters were not great but at least it felt cinematic.

[civic herald]

I was playing bf2042 breakthrough and the enemy was destroying my team every point fast

[hard ravine]

If my team is THAT horrible. I'm not staying in that server.

[civic herald]

I just had to fight against like 10 of their team every point

[orchid cairn]

I'm looking forward to BF6 campaign. Going through the streets of NY at night. Hells yes. They already showed a dam breaking in BF6 so I expect to be completely cinematic.

[hard ravine]

If I'm in a squad with medics and support and NOBODY is reviving or dropping supplies. I am switching squads after letting them know they suck.

[civic herald]

And im the only one on my team in the point

[hallow geode]

Watching the tokyo game show BF6 campaign show and a couple of the devs from the multiplayer event are here and they look like they've had the life ripped out of them lol. They look so depressed to be there 🤣

[stable remnant]

I watched it live. IT was hard. I was losing confidence every time they spoke

[civic herald]

My team never revives in bf2042 so I dont switch squads

[hallow geode]

Oh man I can't imagine watching that cringe fest LIVE lol

[broken cedar]

dude rezzing people is the best part of playing medic

[civic herald]

Or I would be squadless
