battlefield-6

[clever obsidian]

Every map feels small when you've been playing Squad for years 🙁

[normal echo]

to be fair, the beta map popularity scale largely preferred the more CQB map sizes pretty heavily

[deep glade]

Give me BFV size maps

I don’t care for the small baby COD maps, I leave when they start

[normal echo]

except for empire state, apparently no one liked empire state XD

[clever obsidian]

Give me Al Basrah

[brave herald]

So in the Season Pass we're gettin' an existin' map but snowy.
Does that imply Portal will have the capability to do the same?

[deep glade]

Yes Empire State was bad

It’s not a battlefield map

[brave herald]

For reference, how large were those maps? xD

[clever obsidian]

Was better than Peaks

[deep glade]

Very large

Have you played Panzerstorm

[clever obsidian]

Peak practically screamed "I have no experience making these"

[normal echo]

I think the larger concern for Empire State is that even players who liked CQB maps, didn't like Empire State. Was kind of hoping it'd get a redesign... but that seems out of the question now with winter version of it coming for xmas

[brave herald]

Nope, last BF I played was 3 and BC2.
But PC BF3 Metro Rush, Subway only, 1000 tickets made me quit FPS games xD

[deep glade]

Well most of the BF6 devs have never made a BF before

[clever obsidian]

Yup

[deep glade]

So explains why they butchered most of it

[tight prism]

Cod players ran through those maps like a trans person running through genders. They should remaster the beta maps for launch with nighttime mode so we can use night vision and those lasers.

[nova herald]

If i got to pick a map for them to add it would probably be kubra dam from bf2

[deep glade]

That’s what happens when you make small maps

[brave herald]

I think Empire State at night with NV would be sick

[deep glade]

In a game designed to house destruction and large field of battle

[normal echo]

Peak is gonna be really obnoxious with reduced sniper glare, sniper decoys, and open weapon engineer-snipers nuking any aircraft out of existence

[brave herald]

I'd like to see thunderstorms with heavy rain, or heavy sandstorms in Cairo

[deep glade]

Give us an actual desert size map

[brave herald]

I feel like Lib. Peak is the worst map out of all of em.

[hard ravine]

random weather would be awesome

[clever obsidian]

Al Basrah or Talil Outskirts please

[deep glade]

That map is so damn awful, it’s shaped like a jelly bean

[blazing karma]

I think I might get both Battlefield 6 and Blops 7 tbh. they are different flavors of FPS

[sterile matrix]

I think people will like Mirak too, its a good combo of open and urban

[torn lagoon]

might get bo7 when it's on sale for zombies

[deep glade]

Just give me open maps

[brave herald]

Like, even putting the sniper issue aside.
That map.. just sucks.

The best part of is, is how a heli can go in the foggy area to the side of the map lol

[normal echo]

I didn't enjoy it save on breakthrough.... though I also didn't feel it was well balanced for breakthrough.... that said the only beta map I actively hated was Empire State

[tight prism]

So if we pre order we get to play two days early right?

[deep glade]

No

[nova herald]

No

[clever obsidian]

Only part of the map on Breakthrough that was tolerable was final objective

[normal echo]

sadly no 🙁

[tight prism]

Damnnnnnnnn

[clever obsidian]

Poor map design through-and-through

[sterile matrix]

currently only press and insiders get to play early

[tight prism]

That's lame

[deep glade]

Also, Siege of Cairo is cool, but it’s too boxed in, like a cod map

[normal echo]

Cairo was by far my favorite

[deep glade]

I hate urban maps

[brave herald]

Breakthrough was the worse on that map.
Empire State definitely felt like a large CoD map.
Some moments it felt really fun, other moments.. It felt like every time you spawned you took 1 step and were in a gunfight already.

[tight prism]

Ehh lane map just like locker and metro Honestly

[deep glade]

That’s what I don’t like, I hate urban locked maps with lanes

[brave herald]

I would of liked to see it a bit more open.
Even if it was allowing us on the roofs..legally xD

[deep glade]

I play BF for the open large maps, otherwise I would go to cod

[normal echo]

iberian was the one where it had good moments, but also some weaker moments, compared to cairo

[tight prism]

I don't mind one or two being in game but definitely hope not all of the maps are like that.

[brave herald]

Iberian I think suffers the most from spawn camping, no?

[deep glade]

Not at all

[brave herald]

You can easily just peak right into their base and stop em from leavin' it lol

[void estuary]

4 more left days until BF6!

[clever obsidian]

poor overall design

[deep glade]

That’s what you get from brand new BF devs

[primal dragon]

Hello bros

[brave herald]

sup

[normal echo]

3 days and like 15ish hours

[primal dragon]

I’m a game streamer.

[brave herald]

Oh no.

[deep glade]

Good for you

[primal dragon]

BF1 playing

[clever obsidian]

Chat topic is favourite pasta

[torn lagoon]

i like all pasta

[brave herald]

I like most pasta, but I'll just say Ziti.

[nova herald]

I dont remember the name of it but i had some pasta with shrimps and chili and other stuff that was amazing

[deep glade]

Give me Arras, Panzerstorm, Rotterdam, Twisted Steel and Hamada from BFV into BF6

Then we cool.

[brave herald]

Gimme more maps to sky-dive off into

[normal echo]

"We also observed a slightly higher revive rate for Closed Weapons at 3% for Breakthrough, and 2% for Conquest, which coincides with the slightly longer match duration"

Only a 2-3% revive rate XD

[quartz karma]

Regatoni

[clever obsidian]

Twisted Steel has like 3 POIs

[brave herald]

Oh ye that's a good kind of pasta too

[deep glade]

Twisted Steel is good map

[normal echo]

home made

[clever obsidian]

For V

[brave herald]

I made some homemade tortilla today, came out ok.

[deep glade]

No POIs make it good, just big and overall battle everywhere

Hate all the forced clutter into certain spots

Creates a map that is empty everywhere else and boring to play

[naive locust]

"after trying both playlist types, chose to stick with Open Weapons. This reinforces our belief that Open Weapons is the right path forward for Battlefield 6."

Day ruined.
When you make open class the default option and name class locked weapons "closed weapons" it's gonna cause a disparity. Everyone pointed it out before the beta test and everyone knew this was gonna be the outcome.

[normal echo]

really hoping some oled monitors go on sale with prime days..... upgraded my pc specfically for bf6 and still looking at a 1080p/60fps monitor xD

[willow lance]

Nah

[brave herald]

If Portal is simple to use and you can basically make your own maps.
I'd love to see if people made Halo 2-3 maps xD

[deep glade]

Cap

[willow lance]

Twisted steel is an 2042 map lol 😹

[deep glade]

What

[willow lance]

Accidentally put into BFV

[brave herald]

A good IPS panel wouldn't be too bad either.
Dependin' on the prices of those oleds.

[deep glade]

No, I find it good

People just wanna complain and have cod maps smh

[willow lance]

It plays like an 2042 map with huge distances between flags and one giant power position overlooking the entire map

[deep glade]

It plays like a Battlefield map

[willow lance]

2042 is a Battlefield game yes

[deep glade]

How it should, big open, perfect

[willow lance]

Doesn’t mean maps were good

[timid otter]

is portal in the game at launch?

[deep glade]

It was indeed

[torn lagoon]

is bf6 going to have zombies

[deep glade]

Create it yourself

In portal

[willow lance]

Twisted steel is probably better than most other strategic conquest maps though

[deep glade]

What do you call good maps, in past BF games

[brave herald]

I couldn't find those heatmaps for the beta data, oh well.

Anyway, thoughts on Caspian Border, BF6-ified?

[deep glade]

Above BF3

[loud jetty]

Is there somewhere where I can bet between CoD or BF getting more sales?

[deep glade]

Google.com

[brave herald]

Anywhere you want.
I'm placin' bets on CoD.

[loud jetty]

CoD has always came out on top no matter how shitty the game was

[deep glade]

Cause their play base is blind

[brave herald]

Sheeps to the Slaughter.

And huge names backin' it at all times.

[deep glade]

The type of stuff streamers hype COD with “omg look at the reload! COD is so back”

“OMG we can dual wield, cod is back!!!”

[brave herald]

An casual will look and go "Oh a new CoD released? Nice, ima get it this weekend".
Completely oblivous to any backlash it got, because the first time they saw it was on the PS/Xbox home page.

[hard ravine]

Anyone else love sports here? Man at least I have the Tigers actually in the Post Season to watch the next few days. That helps time go by.

[brave herald]

I like sports anime, does that count?

[hard ravine]

i dont know what that is lol

[brave herald]

Fair enough.

[normal echo]

I'm a football fan, and my Bears where on a bye week this weekend =/

[deep glade]

Sports anime lol

[rancid brook]

Please leave metro and Caspian alone

[hard ravine]

Ah, my Lions been making me proud tho. Tomorrow will let me know if I'm happy about the Tigers or not lol

[brave herald]

Why?
Although Metro can rot in a ditch somewhere.

[ionic portal]

I started cod bo7 I’ll didn’t even finish the match and deinstall it 💀 Game is soo bad 😂😂😂

[rancid brook]

Extremely tired of those maps

[normal echo]

I'm required to hate them because Bears fan, but if there's a non bears team I'd like to see make a run, it'd probably be detroit. They've suffered for literal decades, and had the best WR and best RB in nfl history without winning a lombardi

[brave herald]

Fair.
Personally I don't even know the public reception of those maps, besides Firestorm.

[robust dagger]

Btw is there going to be a survival type of mode in Portal mode heard it’s called Horde mode or somethin?.

[hallow geode]

So not only is BF6 the #1 top selling game on steam but BO7 was only able to hold the top spot for PS5 preorders for a single day during the closed beta. BF6 is the #1 most preordered game on PS5

[normal echo]

CoD's numbers are gonna wildly inflate with game pass or w/e it's called

[hard ravine]

yeah we're used to having great players never get a ring with us tho. I was honestly happy for Verlander.

[tall zinc]

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/amp/news/community-update-open-beta-and-the-road-to-launch

[normal echo]

at the very least we can both bond over wanting Green Bay to suffer/lose

[past jasper]

Can i say that since we have EK archery adder for 2042
Can we have EK archery whipshot for bf6?

as a phantom bow +

[robust dagger]

Btw is there going to be a survival type of mode in Portal mode heard it’s called Horde mode or somethin?.

[tall zinc]

there is a zombies mode yes

[past jasper]

(whipshot is a magazine fed compound bow)

[bold swallow]

really debating on BF6 I just started playing 2042 lol

[robust dagger]

Alr

BF6 is going to be game of the year for sure!.

[brave herald]

ah ty

[tall zinc]

np

[normal echo]

it's got a good shot i think. launch going smooth will be critical..... and so long as there's no major assault class with beacon and ladder terrain exploit shenanigans

[lavish totem]

Naval warfare is coming!? 💪

[tall zinc]

eventually and platoons (and the little bird)

[lavish totem]

Nice! I hope they bring back the mobile artillery vehicle and the AC130 🙏

[brave herald]

gunna have to beat E33

[wise quiver]

Quite a few contenders

[rancid brook]

That naval close quarters map on bf4 was great.

The one with the ship

[deep glade]

Carrier strike

[indigo needle]

I hope they do something like bf1 where if you defend a attack the enemy gets like a aircraft carrier or somth

[tall zinc]

he is talking about paracel storm

[rancid brook]

No carrier i think

Very infantry focused ship

[indigo needle]

or battleship

[tall zinc]

nansha strike or wave breaker? there weren't any named carrier strike

[rancid brook]

Well there was a part of the gamemode where we'd attack a carrier ship. But then another separate gamemode when id be in a tdm on a carrier ship

[tall zinc]

oh you mean carrier assault the gamemode

[rancid brook]

Thank you

Please dice, please

[indigo needle]

I like the idea of that maybe more like a one on one naval battle though could be cool invading the enemy's ship

[rancid brook]

Be creative

[rancid brook]

You played that mode on bf4?

Well its great

[indigo needle]

nah i have only played bf1 and bf5

[tall zinc]

carrier assault was a good gamemode but too modelled on titan assault at the time

[silver sonnet]

is there any realistic benefit to purchasing BF6 on EA app over Steam? or if i have the account linked, just go with Steam?

[tiny bronze]

Did somebody reference 2142 Titan mode?????

[tall zinc]

just go with steam there's no benefit to the EA app

[silver sonnet]

christ i wish....

[rancid brook]

Wait so if i may ask what was the map called, the carrier infantry one

[willow jewel]

Naval warfare was poorly done in bf4

[torn lagoon]

if you have ea play, whichever platform you have ea play on to get the discount
otherwise steam
but you still have to have the ea app anyways because steam launches it through the ea app

[willow jewel]

There's a reason why no one plays that dlc anymore

[humble plover]

I just got it on steam because I hate that infernal app

[gritty belfry]

can you turn crossplay off in BF6?

[sour copper]

zoom in it's too small 😭

[runic aurora]

CANT WAIT FOR OCT 10

[humble plover]

Yes I think so

[tall zinc]

there wasn't a map directly where you were inside the carrier, but rather tied into CA, from memory I think you could only do this from paracel storm and one other map so paracel is probably what you're thinking of, the first objective is people go out onto the map and capture stuff, then there's a prepare for boarding where you then go onto the carrier itself and attempt to blow it up with an mcom fuse, this rotates (so if you lose it goes back before and vice versa) till a team wins

[tall zinc]

nope steam doesn't require the EA app

[rancid brook]

Ah man but there is. I remember playing tdm on it over and over again. It was great

[humble plover]

It does I have to launch EA games from it's own app, steam just starts the progress

[rancid brook]

Literally inside the carrier guns blazing until tickets ran out

[tall zinc]

you're mistaken, battlefield 6 does not, it is the first battlefield game on steam where it has a native implementation, past games do, but bf6 doesn't require the EA app whatsoever

[humble plover]

Oh I didn't know that. Thanks for the info!

[fast siren]

They should remove the label "Battlefield" and rename it "Call of Duty" instead because you can run what you want regardless of what's make Battlefield so unique from others FPS in the market

[rancid brook]

It might have been a community thing. Thanks anyways

[tall zinc]

if this is TDM specifically then 90% I think you're recalling wave breaker

[tall zinc]

no worries

[gilded solstice]

the truth about bf6 is that...

[humble plover]

Anyone else see that the servers are up already?

[tall zinc]

yes

they can play the campaign and ai modes apparently

[hazy valley]

From what i see, closed class weapons is going to be the new default

[tall zinc]

@gilded solstice people got the physical copies early

[brazen gale]

They didn’t tweak the trash flying for the Apache?

[gilded solstice]

WTF

[humble plover]

I don't know if I'm happy for those people or extremely mad I can't play it yet lol

[humble plover]

Yeah look it up saw it on Gamespot

[gilded solstice]

why arent we allowed to ping staff?

[tall zinc]

Battlefield Bulletin (@BFBulletin)

#Battlefield6's game servers are online. Those who have obtained a physical copy of the game (before the official release date) can already play the single-player campaign and multiplayer with AI soldiers.

Because they're not paid enough to deal with you.

[runic aurora]

This might be a unpopular opinion but the sledge hammer is trash

[brazen gale]

It needs nerfed shouldn’t be able to 3 tap a building

[tall zinc]

ehh it's pretty powerful lol

[brazen gale]

All the destruction is over the top grenades shouldn’t be taking out city blocks

[hazy valley]

not really. it comes in handy for things like dry wall demolition

[wise quiver]

They probably aren’t paid

[hazy valley]

the joke

[humble plover]

WHEN DO WE GET TO PLAY THE FREAKING GAME LOL

[brazen gale]

October 10th

[rancid brook]

It was CA thanks deco it took a 2nd

[runic aurora]

It’s powerful just this game has realism to it and the sledge hammer isn’t real. Almost arcadish

[urban veldt]

Cod is collabing with predator 😭

[tall zinc]

np

[rancid brook]

Also hopefully there are servers up i feel like playinh

[wide hound]

Didn’t realise they still wanted to collab with dr disrespect

[gilded solstice]

what are the odds we get a bug riddled mess?

[sand spear]

I just suck at battlefield I watched videos I aim train but I can’t seem not die all the time but in the beta I was pretty good does anyone understand?

[white jetty]

60%

[urban veldt]

https://x.com/CallofDuty/status/1975321791850815736?t=MmN8mBR26ajBTOJj7_QXfg&s=19

[tall zinc]

we've more or less seen the entire game already so you can make up your own mind

[humble plover]

50/50 I'd say, beta was pretty solid

[runic aurora]

Yeah just play more. That’s how I got decent. Btw I only played 5 hours total in beta

[sand spear]

Ok maybe because I switch from battlefield games so often I get out of practice

[sour copper]

50/50. Either it happens or it doesn't.

[humble plover]

I played 20+ I think lol

[normal echo]

coming october 9th..... The smell of desperation

[humble plover]

Who thinks Bo7 is about to get annihilated by BF6

[wise quiver]

I didn’t experience too many bugs or performance issues and the servers were stable besides the long queue

[tall zinc]

no that's not to do with battlefield 6, the beta for black ops 7 ends on the 9th is why

[sand spear]

I love how the cod beta shows how much people are missing out just so that the e next day it gets rubbed in their faces

[rancid brook]

Remember the notion positioning when switching back to bf

[sand spear]

Yeah trying to go back to bfv from 2042 was hard I used to be really decent

[urban veldt]

Bf6 has to 1 up cod now

[wise quiver]

The main issues I experienced were with the UI

You’d switch to classes tab and the soldiers would take like 5 seconds to load in

[runic aurora]

https://tenor.com/view/dave-chappelle-need-gif-21451408

[rancid brook]

I guess it'll take time.

[runic aurora]

I love getting The recon beacons and spawning around the enemies, that’s a good tip to get good at gun fights

[humble plover]

This is so stupid 🤣 🤣 🤣

[gilded solstice]

only 3 days left, kinda crazy, time to prep

[sand spear]

Ok thanks for the reassurance

[wise quiver]

Somehow a predator skin is one of the least ridiculous skins they’ve released for BO6

[runic aurora]

Nicki Minaj goat what u talking about

[humble plover]

Yeah its nowhere near the most idiotic, but tbh it looks like they're trying to copy one of those Asymmetrical horror games or whatever they're called

What are the odds we get a BF6 server crash or issue on day one

[lavish totem]

Slim to none of beta handled it well.

[normal echo]

I'm actually optimistic it stays up, beta was very smooth

[lavish totem]

Would be ass backwards if it went smooth for beta but then fails during release.

[alpine talon]

That's my only worry...EA servers suck

[gilded solstice]

idk maybe too many players will overload systems

[nimble cedar]

i feel like theyre not gonna take any chances

[runic aurora]

Right. I’m playing skate and servers suck

[normal echo]

I think what will help is that the game is lauching at like 10am my time..... most adults will be working so people will be able to get on more slowly

if they launched at like 6pm cali time, EVERYONE would be logging in at once

[lavish totem]

Open Beta was free and open to everyone and still handled pretty well vs those who will only be able to play on release if you bought it.

[humble plover]

Yeah those are CRAP

[wise quiver]

Part of what makes game launches disasters is everyone trying to log on at the same time

[alpine talon]

So glad I got PTO....still would have called sick

[tall zinc]

https://x.com/tiggr_/status/1974844687484641683?s=19 for those asking about servers on launch day

David Sirland (@tiggr_)

@Smoke_T9 Should be! We are planning for that of course, and open beta helped gauge the interest as well

X · Oct 5, 2025, 2:30 PM

[lavish totem]

That can be any server though.

[humble plover]

It will probably crash on the weekend, but true fans will find a way lol

[wise quiver]

You don’t wanna launch your game during peak hours pretty much

[deep glade]

Chat I have to go to a family dinner at exact time BF6 launches, do I cancel dinner?

[normal echo]

they may have to do forced disconnects periodically, tbh to clean up people trying to stay logged in while idle

[wise quiver]

Go to the family dinner

[lavish totem]

No. Enjoy your last good meal then head on out to boot.

[wise quiver]

You’ll miss the server issues

[torn lagoon]

launches at 10 am for me so server issues should be sorted by 5 when i get off work lol

[normal echo]

cancel the family via text message, it's about efficiency

[stable dew]

are you on pc or console ?

[gilded solstice]

do the "weapons packages" only apply to 1 weapon to t oa whole class?

[deep glade]

“Dear family, I have been drafted”

[lavish totem]

Don't text them at all. Keep them on the edge.

Never let someone know your next move 🙄

[stable dew]

i have better idea

[wise quiver]

Why cancel? Notifying them takes time
just don’t show up

[stable dew]

grab pc or console with you put it at the dinning table boom you can dine with family and play at the same time

[lavish totem]

Not enough.

[humble plover]

Play with them 🤣

[cerulean sparrow]

are you guys more excited for arc raiders or bf6

[ornate hornet]

Invite them to play

[normal echo]

welll damnit.... I was optimistically off work on friday.... but someone just booked

[lavish totem]

Or don't get married at all 💪

[humble plover]

You know the answer

[deep glade]

“Can I take the dinner to my room please” ask like a kid haha

[wise quiver]

Bf6 because the extraction shooter genre is a sea of failures so far

Hope arc raiders does well though

[deep glade]

Arc raiders gonna fall of quick

[lavish totem]

You don't feel well therefore can't fully enjoy the delicious dinner they have made. You won't be able to make it. Hoo-Rah.

[cerulean sparrow]

hot take but I think arc raiders is gonna be w

[deep glade]

Doubt

[cerulean sparrow]

I think arc raiders has a chance

[whole forge]

Go to the diner. The game is not running away, not playing on Day 1 is fine

[hard ravine]

It wont have as big of a base as BF6. But it will have a decent sized dedicated group of poeple. Same as Tarkov

[white jetty]

Arc raiders is bad

[wise quiver]

The issue is the extraction shooter genre is just so hard to get into

[deep glade]

I HAVE TO PLAY DAY 1 OR I AM NOT A VETERAN EXPERT PRO

[stray wyvern]

tfw leaving for two week holiday on BF6 launch day

[humble plover]

Sweats galore, someone always has a million more guns then you

[zenith wind]

Pacific Drive uses the extraction mechanic in a really fun way. It's a single player game though, and not a shooter by any means. Just fully completed it yesterday

[deep glade]

Cancel and stay home

[wise quiver]

The punishing mechanics mean it mostly appeals to hardcore players

[stray wyvern]

japan trip can wait, sorry babe

[humble plover]

Take your system with you

[wise quiver]

But hardcore players can only get you so far

[gilded solstice]

mp7 + supressor + respawn beacon

[deep glade]

You already missed the game show

[stable dew]

day 10 is bf day nothing ells

[whole forge]

I think the game will be good but it will have the curse of extraction shooters where its overhyped by streamers for a month or two and then the community will get smaller to its core audience

[lavish totem]

Cannot wait to play some hardcore.

[stray wyvern]

lol might see how it runs on the steam deck

[wise quiver]

There’s a reason tarkov has wipes and it’s because without wipes, the new player experience will just get worse every day

[stray wyvern]

ya ikr, that would have been sweet to catch

[humble plover]

I don't know that it's supported lol

[cerulean sparrow]

technically if you played the beta you already played day 1

[white jetty]

If you don’t play hardcore closed weapons you probably should go back to cod

[whole forge]

Same thing will happen to Marathon(if it comes out, seeing that Bungie is gonna do a new test on 22nd of this month)

[stray wyvern]

true, linux and drm anti cheat doesnt mix

[deep glade]

Played even before the Beta lol

[wise quiver]

The best players acquire large stockpiles of the best gear and absolutely stomp new players

[humble plover]

It will never happen

[gilded solstice]

does no hud regular mode count?

[wispy furnace]

You're guys thoughts on the little bird helicopter coming to BF6?

[stray wyvern]

FOMO hitting hard, but I guess will still be there when I'm back

[white jetty]

Nope

[lavish totem]

To much goes on in Battlefield for Call Of Duty players to keep up with.

[whole forge]

As much as I love Marathon as I played its April Alpha, I do admit that the game will have the curse of extraction shooters and scale down to its core audience, only raising higher when new content comes out

[stable dew]

to be FAIIIIIIIR let them stay at that game and not here they would try to ruin bf6

[stray wyvern]

hype
only aerial vehicle I could play decently with

[humble plover]

I play open but use closed weapons anyway, I should probably play closed lol

[torn ermine]

But what does this mean now that the Saudis own EA?

[stable dew]

little bird is life

[shrewd hatch]

Oop

[wise quiver]

The extraction shooter craze is kinda like the br craze but while the battle royale market had a lot of room to grow, the extraction shooter market will remain forever niche

[lavish totem]

Just give me a weapon and I'm ready.

[wispy furnace]

It's nice because it doesn't have the high tech like the appache but it still fufills its dutys as a helicopter

[whole forge]

From what we know the first transaction will happen on 2028 so we are fine for now

[barren hornet]

The locked weapon study was so rigged. They knew exactly what they were doing.

[gilded solstice]

please wait to give it a chance, ive seen things

[torn ermine]

Oh shit really?

[stray wyvern]

ya exactly, so nimble and that minigun went hard

[wise quiver]

I doubt it will affect battlefield 6. These big corporate buyouts take time

[whole forge]

Yeah, because you can only innovate so much to its own mechanics

[humble plover]

Kinda dug it's own grave

[wispy furnace]

It would be nice if they added the little bird to like one of those tight city maps just because it doesn't have any weapons on it.

[whole forge]

I know, I have also seen those things, I want Marathon to be successful and played in the first open playtest and signed up to the latest one

[cerulean sparrow]

yeah sadly this’ll probably be my last ea game

[humble plover]

Maniacs would just start dive bombing people lol

[deft canyon]

Hey, the weapon packages you get for the editions of the game are weapon skins correct?

[torn ermine]

For real

[stable dew]

yes

[wispy furnace]

Saudi Arabia bought EA so it's most likely going to go downhill from here.

[deft canyon]

And the tombstone pack is a pre order only thing right?

[whole forge]

The game itself back in April while having flaws it was still fun. Sure the Behind the scenes drama fucked shit up Bungie did the right call by delaying the game. Cant wait to see the new version

[wispy furnace]

Yes.

[stable dew]

yes

[whole forge]

Yea

[torn ermine]

Maybe Arc Raiders will be worth a damn

[deep glade]

The Saudis took on 20 billion dollar debt, expect milking, lay offs and selling of IPs

[wispy furnace]

I don't think paying 100 USD for a normal soldier but with some red on it is worth it.

[torn ermine]

Yup and they will nickle and dime once they can to make up that money unless they want the loss which I highly doubt

[gilded solstice]

it has a nice audio and ambience aesthetic but idk if thats enough, open beta was a great idea tho

[worn oyster]

I hope there’s gonna be a hardcore mode

[humble plover]

Agreed. I just went and got the standard because well.... YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THE COSMETICS LOL

[wise quiver]

Battlefield 6 will most likely be fine but EA is doomed after that

[whole forge]

Unironically I think they will milk FIFA and NBA/NFL/MADDEN games more than Battlefield

[wispy furnace]

Who uses War Tapes V.A.L

[torn ermine]

Didn't get to the beta which am sad about

[deep glade]

They will most likely sell some of those titles

[white jetty]

The cosmetics are going to be terrible in the future. I can just tell. No way they stay grounded, especially with the neon green stuff we have already seen.

[shrewd hatch]

I had 17 hours on the beta

[humble plover]

I want them to do SOMETHING with Titanfall before that lol

[stable dew]

agreed this guys are sport fanatic to be honest

[gilded solstice]

wdym, the beta hasnt happened yet

[torn ermine]

Oh misread

[wise quiver]

If we’re lucky, the battlefield IP will be sold to a decent publisher

[humble plover]

Hopefully we get a good game for the first 2 years lol

[whole forge]

Also Sports game fans spend money to EVERYTHING

[white jetty]

Yeah after that it’s up in the air

[humble plover]

PLEASE NOT MICROSOFT

[whole forge]

Dawg what? 💀

[torn ermine]

Sell it to Offworld, people incharge of Squad lmao or Bohemia in charge of Arma

[whole forge]

Yeah, I would rather not play then. If I wanted SQUAD I would play SQUAD

[white jetty]

Bro people need to stop making this comparison. Realistic cosmetics and physics don’t make the game Squad.

[humble plover]

Don't touch my breakpoint EA
Easily my favorite mode

[whole forge]

I wasn’t talking about cosmetics….

[deep glade]

Won’t be an issue

[red kiln]

cod its peak bf its trash

[gilded solstice]

omg I tried Squad and WOW, it was a very cool experience, i reccomend it to anyone looking for something mind blowing

[deep glade]

Gut one team

[white jetty]

Lmaooo yeah ok buddy

[torn ermine]

Arma Reforger is great too

[stable dew]

he just baiting you

[white jetty]

I know

[torn ermine]

Arma 4 will be crazy cool

[stable dew]

fusball is the devil

[torn lagoon]

I don't know why Microsoft didn't bid on EA.
Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner bought EA for $55 Billion.
Microsoft paid nearly $69 Billion for Activision Blizzard. Woulda been another drop in the bucket for them.

[stable dew]

ewwww

[torn ermine]

Its lame some people can monopolize and some can't lmao

[stable dew]

did deco got time out of he deleted his coment xd

[tall zinc]

no

comment deleted apparently yes, odd one

[white jetty]

You look like a professional gamer

[fast siren]

There are a lot more helis way more rare and nimble too than the MH-6 "little bird"

[tall zinc]

probably a filter id imagine difficult to tell

[white jetty]

You have the physical appearance of a software engineer lol

[tall zinc]

cool

[white jetty]

Hit the gym

Update my shaders little guy

[ornate hornet]

You look easy to draw

[honest otter]

hope they add a katana that can deflect bullets

[tall zinc]

what a light saber

[white jetty]

You already have a big piece of cardboard that deflects bullets

[rough wharf]

Anyone here play the 83 demo today?

[ornate hornet]

You stole that shit from deadpool

[honest otter]

or like 30 other video games

[gilded solstice]

whats that?

[faint prawn]

sir Columbus, hello. your day is coming apon us soon. perhaps you will hold a gathering to tell of your travels?

[tall zinc]

actually come to think of it they could add the sword from battlefield 5 as a weapon

[white jetty]

I’m sure your software developer ah would want that

[honest otter]

you know what, they can add a Deadpool skin along with it to be respectful

[ornate hornet]

Like..?

[tall zinc]

your bait is bad my guy

[white jetty]

My bait? I was kind of hoping your sword comment was bait

[stable dew]

deco did not started the sword comment

[faint prawn]

bait is good for fishing 🙂

[honest otter]

my intention was not to upset, I thought I was obviously joking

[tall zinc]

true

[stable dew]

it was john cod fanboy

[ornate hornet]

He lowkey looks like he makes 30 minute video esssys about streamers in YouTube

[honest otter]

my apologies

[gilded solstice]

what kind of bait do fish like? just worms?

[white jetty]

You were but Deco was serious. He watches anime and wants swords in the game along with colorful skins and operators with backstories.

[rapid cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/snoop-dogg-dancing-fun-funny-dance-dance-moves-gif-10051361099218732674

[gilded solstice]

only 3 snipers right? i feel thats kinda low

[ashen scaffold]

Bring on bf6!

[tall zinc]

it is 3 iirc yes

[ornate hornet]

Why dont you reply to his message instead of saying it in the chat

[honest otter]

I feel like it’s a really common gimmick but cyberpunk is the one I was thinking of lol

[tall zinc]

..

[hallow geode]

4 by the end of the month but yeah still low for sniper fans

[ornate hornet]

Ooh shit…I forgot cyberpunk katanas have that feature

[rancid brook]

Anime is cool

[tall zinc]

sidearms also aren't a lot

4? I think

[honest otter]

I feel like every game with a sword and guns has it lmao it’s like the obvious thing to add to a “melee skill tree”

but I can’t think of others at the moment

[hallow geode]

I think they're adding at least 2 new sidearms in season 1 so that's good

[tall zinc]

oh yeah true

[candid tundra]

Boat goes binted

[ornate hornet]

Most games with Swords dont have guns in them

There’s like 3 games with swords and guns

[honest otter]

that can’t be true

[ornate hornet]

Ye

[formal gale]

a bunch of the FF games (and RPGs in general) have both

[quartz fossil]

haha good bait

[hazy valley]

i'm not. i asked ai

[quartz fossil]

even better

[rancid brook]

Happy October, this Friday is going to be real spooky

[hazy valley]

it gave me citations

[tall zinc]

it isn't

[ornate hornet]

Why

[rancid brook]

Uh, servers crashing lol

[honest otter]

anyway what were you guys arguing about before I rudely interrupted

[eager pollen]

So exciteeddddddd

[quartz fossil]

it was fine during the beta, they just need to scale more, shouldn't be impossible

[burnt bison]

I really want to pre-order BF6, but the problem is that I'm using a gaming laptop

[ornate hornet]

Some bs

[cold panther]

it is

[tall zinc]

they have said they have substantially more capacity since the open beta, so it'll probably be fine

[quartz fossil]

Does it not meet system requirements? BF6 isn't hard to run.

[fast siren]

I want an AS350 as little bird counterpart, and a MI-171Sh or a NH-90 as transport heli to Pax Side instead of the same heli from the other side

[unkempt tangle]

hi

[rancid brook]

Heck yea

[ornate hornet]

Hola

[unkempt tangle]

3 more days till bf6

[burnt bison]

It did, I even played the beta test before

[eager pollen]

Why can’t they release the single player campaign rn so i can get it out the wayyy 😩😩

[quartz fossil]

I mean maybe BR will struggle but for the multiplayer and single player the game should be more optimized at launch and after launch so

[tall zinc]

we're all unlucky enough that none of us got physical editions early

[unkempt tangle]

i cant wait to play the campaign

[quartz fossil]

Turns out those things are locked anyway

[tall zinc]

they're not

[quartz fossil]

Really?

[eager pollen]

Full campaign copies, correct?

[white jetty]

Why would someone buy a physical edition?

[tall zinc]

yes you can play it right now if you got the physical version early

[burnt bison]

The problem is that the game is too CPU demanding, even in low settings, which ramp up the temps

[eager pollen]

FHAWKK im going to gamestop tomorrow

[quartz fossil]

ah yeah, laptop issues sadly.

[nova herald]

Seeing as some already got access early why not just let everyone in?

[eager pollen]

#Dicepls

[tall zinc]

servers would deffo collapse id guess

[white jetty]

I’m sure as a software engineer you would know

[eager pollen]

I. just wanna play the campaign early…so i can focus 100% on the mp, and portal

[tall zinc]

there is an announcement of some sort coming on the 10th (or near it), so id imagine they want it to line up

[burnt bison]

But I have no problems playing 2042 tho

[hard ravine]

i wish that was still a huge thing

[torn lagoon]

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/battlefield-6-looks-great-but-it-wont-beat-call-of-duty-this-year/1100-6534282/

[hard ravine]

waiting for midnight release of BF3 is one of my favorite memories of my whole life lol

[rancid brook]

So I've been playing God of war emulator and its been fantastic

[eager pollen]

what happened to midnight releases 😫😫😫😫

[quartz fossil]

It's outselling COD on every platform

[rancid brook]

Unfortunately I know i will not finish the campaign before friday.

[quartz fossil]

game journos can't do pre-school math

[slate rapids]

Any game giveaways happening on this server?

[hard ravine]

I got a tshirt and keychain lanyard at the midnight release of BF3. And for HOURS just talked Battlefield with strangers on the sidewalk lol

[quartz fossil]

Join steam DB discord for that

[tall zinc]

they are not

[white jetty]

Game journos and most game devs have no idea what the actual players want

[eager pollen]

I was a child during that era but I’d 100% go drive up to gamestop and camp out for a physical copy. They’re robbing me of my childhood dreams!!

[rancid brook]

Uh ill buy it from you

[quartz fossil]

BF devs do

[hard ravine]

yeah it would have been awesome for ya too

[urban nebula]

Did the same for BO2

[burnt bison]

I wish they could balance the CPU and GPU utilization with the upcomming release

[urban nebula]

Best memories fr

[hard ravine]

i used them until they fell apart dude lol

[eager pollen]

They missin out on the moneyyyss mann

[white jetty]

No clearly they don’t because they keep making neon color skins. I think they have like one good guy teaching all the others how to make a good game

[quartz fossil]

They're not

[eager pollen]

Also physical collector’s editions?? Wth man now I actually DO have money to afford them

[rancid brook]

Haha aw shucks... I need a bf3 hoodie. Dude long live that game

[hard ravine]

BO2 was the only COD game I truly loved because of the memories it created with me and my brothers. and the only time i ever smoked weed lol

[tall zinc]

for what the game is it performs very well, you have a laptop, so options are naturally limited

[urban nebula]

Relatable

[eager pollen]

Mw2 (classic) superiority >

[hard ravine]

I think i was obsessed with my brother playing Gears of War when MW2 came out

Even Gears 2 was a HUUUUGE deal back then

[eager pollen]

Halo >

[hard ravine]

Then Bad Company 2 came out. I always liked Battlefield games. But BC2 made me a full time Battlefield Bro lol

[dim hedge]

Will battlefield 6 have offline solo coop modes like conquest with bots?

[rancid brook]

Man.. I hope we have co-op. If I could play bf3 coop one more time

[tall zinc]

offline no

[bright trellis]

Sharing this here is gonna get you laughs but yeah. People underestimate just how many people are completely sold out to COD and only COD.

[tall zinc]

not a wrong opinion, I think so aswell

[eager pollen]

It’s so boring but it’s just like 2k or madden

casual fanbases… and it’s like not even a big deal either screw big numbers. Dedicated playerbase >

[sudden wedge]

Huh 500k+ steam alone for bf6 beta must be a mirage

[sudden wedge]

Literally y it won’t die cuz people will buy cod and cod content regardless

[lyric comet]

to anyone who did not pre order, go pre order now 3 days left until official release

[alpine wind]

Ofc just did it

[clever obsidian]

The one that truly started the downfall

[sudden wedge]

Mw4

[wise quiver]

The no preorders crowd went real silent after the beta

[clever obsidian]

No real BF fan wants CoD to die. Enough headless chickens the past instalments, need some entry piss to keep them busy

[urban veldt]

I havent pre ordered yet

[wise quiver]

Also competition is a good thing

[sudden wedge]

How dare u

[clever obsidian]

The average 10 year cod player still plays every gametype like free-for-all and hasn't raised their stats in all that time. I'm good with not having that on a title even more focused on teamwork and objective

[wise quiver]

Ideally we would get halo, battlefield and CoD in the mix so we’ve got three titles bidding for our wallets

[next ridge]

spoooky friday 👻

[urban veldt]

Halo??? Are you okay?

[wise quiver]

I said Ideally lol
Halo as a franchise is in even more shambles than CoD

[stable dew]

whos watching halo on netflix

[hard ravine]

Well if I didnt cancel netflix I would have checked that out before. Didnt know it was a thing

[eager pollen]

Brother you're mistaken. The original MW2 didn't start the "downfall" it was Ghosts... with the celebrity voice packs and paid skins

[sudden wedge]

It’s….something 💀

[ornate hornet]

I watched the First few episodes

I only really Watch it when I’m bored asf cuz the story is just way too goofy

[cerulean sparrow]

what’s wrong with halo

[fierce silo]

[cerulean sparrow]

I mean I haven’t played the new games but

[cerulean pike]

There’s nothing wrong with the franchise generally it’s just been in a rough spot for awhile

Unless there’s one of those obnoxious “boomer shooter” whiners lurking who wants to tell us why halo has always sucked

[cold panther]

bro this is about to be the best friday night of our lives

it's getting closer

[fierce silo]

It's never sucked, but the first 3, odst and reachs story were too good

[cold panther]

will bf 6 reach ''mostly positives'' reviews on steam??

[fierce silo]

Thank you

[rancid brook]

It was a matter of time

[cold panther]

🫂 💋 💦 🫃

[cerulean pike]

Of course, there’s been a couple times when someone has told me some garbage about how halo “had always been a subpar fps” is what I meant

[cold panther]

said who

[rancid brook]

Don't get banned. There are rules here you must comply with

[cerulean pike]

FPS elitism is crazy

[fierce silo]

Ah right my bad

[white jetty]

Are they that liberal here???

[twilit bison]

yay

[rancid brook]

Liberals and conservatives work together sometimes ya know

[pallid dirge]

It's going crazy people are on Friday server's discord

[fierce silo]

Anyone finish the 2042 pass?

[wise quiver]

Constant layoffs, halo infinite’s miserable post launch support, ditching their in-house engine for UE5

It is not alright in halo town

[cerulean pike]

Their “in house” engine is garbage that ruined infinites potential to put it lightly

I’m glad they’re moving because that thing ruined infinite

[wise quiver]

The slipspace engine was built off the same engine every halo game was made on

[cerulean pike]

(It’s also just modified blam)

[cold panther]

do you guys think the closed weapons playest will have enough players? in the beta it would take ages to find games sometimes

[cerulean pike]

Who could’ve known an engine built by contract employees would crash and burn when said employees leave

[fierce silo]

The free roam didn't feel like a halo campaign

[clever obsidian]

By definition that would be a conservative mindset

[white jetty]

?

[cerulean pike]

Had potential but it got old fast, magic faded after the first two levels and didn’t come back

Also just a nothing burger of a campaign in the grand scheme of things

[hard ravine]

Man I have 2 more baseball games to look forward to. Maybe 3. But by the end of that, BF6 will be out! I feel like EA designed this release date just for me lol

[wise quiver]

I think the switch to UE5 was less because of infinite’s engine woes and more because it would make outsourcing and contract work easier

[cerulean pike]

It’s both, 343 uses outsourced labor as a crutch like a lot of other devs

[clever obsidian]

Gameplay. MW2 introduced too many bintch things. Thermals on already easy enough to use snipers, heartbeat sensors, silly amount of streaks, tube spamming with ammo bag, javelin glitching, and more. Was the direction it was taking to be more drool than gruel

[cerulean pike]

Heaven forbid we pay workers a livable wage right

[normal echo]

really wish the industry would move on from ue5...... seems like every title is horrifically optimized and runs awful

[fierce silo]

I didn't enjoy it, had you looking for stuff more than focusing on the story

[sour copper]

People like you made my mcdonalds dollar menu $5

[clever obsidian]

Halo 5's Warzone was the most innovation the multiplayer had seen, only needed further development and refining instead of complete dropping in Infinite. Complete shame it stepped backwards

[fallen ridge]

Will maps be larger at launch by chance?

[rancid brook]

By choice?

[urban veldt]

[clever obsidian]

A few are larger than beta options, but not by a huge amount.

[cerulean pike]

I’m honored you think that highly of me sir but i unfortunately don’t have such a high position with a corporate hierarchy such as McDonald’s to decide menu prices

[rancid brook]

Well yes by dices choice

[clever obsidian]

Meanwhile Squad runs better on 5 than it did prior

[sour copper]

You're right, you just walk and talk like them lol

[wise quiver]

It’s because a lot of the devs using UE5 are either too lazy to optimize their games or don’t have the time to optimize their games

There are plenty of UE5 games that run well

[wise quiver]

I’d say the death of optimization is a result of upscaling technology, an obsession with hyper realistic graphics and games becoming more complex under the hood

[cerulean pike]

Games need more time in the oven, makes suits angry and they push out an unready and unoptimized mess

[tall zinc]

as I've said before and will say again they exist but those that perform horribly just get more publicity

[cerulean pike]

Tale as old as 2077

[fierce silo]

Time and money is what it is

[old siren]

If the developers announced naval combat for BF6 I’ll be happy for it

[tall zinc]

they did

[wise quiver]

There’s also a lot of pc ports of Japanese games that run terribly

[tall zinc]

but coming later

[clever obsidian]

Titan game mode
Heroes sequel via Portal
Hotwire

[tropic imp]

anyone aware of proper joystick support yet? The open beta had the options but they didn't respond to any buttons on the joystick being pressed....

[wise quiver]

Have they confirmed if portal will receive a base sandbox map like forge from halo?

[sand spear]

Mostly likely not

[wise quiver]

Ig if you wanted to make a custom map, you could just build in the sky

[tall zinc]

sketchy, some work, others dont

[wise quiver]

Speaking of which I hope someone recreates that insane Easter egg from BFV

[tropic imp]

@tall zinc oh okay. I have a logitech wingman thats kind of scuffed. I bought a vkb gladiator nxt evo for BF6. Hopefully it will work eventually :S

[oak lion]

Hey everyone

Who else got every single unlock before the full game? 4 twitch rewards, both of the open beta weeks, the BF2042 battle pass, and the phantom edition

[wise quiver]

Me

[stable dew]

i gotg everything but the phantom edition

[wise quiver]

The 2042 grind was

[oak lion]

Fuck it bro if you got everything just get the phantom edition 😭 your account will be so valuable

[wise quiver]

Not as bad as I thought it would be

[clever obsidian]

🫡

[oak lion]

See, I just played those weekly rewards and that was enough

[wise quiver]

People actually buy accounts?

[stable dew]

nah

[oak lion]

Yeah! Especially with shit like that, otherwise they don’t care too much

[wise quiver]

I have a super rare skin on MW2022 that you could only get through a Jack links promotion

[oak lion]

Like the pre release content is gonna be so valuable especially if you got all of them

[tawny dawn]

Was there an article or video for this? Just wondering the source since I've not seen anything

[stable dew]

i can just buy the phantom skin later

[oak lion]

See stuff like that, I’m sure bf6 will do shit like this

[red kiln]

YOU FORGOTT PS5 EXCLUSIVE

[oak lion]

Wait I got a PS5!!! Isn’t that available at any point or beta only

[red kiln]

beta only

[fallen geode]

3 days until bf6

[oak lion]

GOD DAMN IT!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[tall zinc]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-6/news/community-update-play-your-way

[cerulean sparrow]

bro I missed the beta sadly

[wise quiver]

I thought everyone who played the beta on ps5 got the exclusive

[urban veldt]

Is this guy cryin over pixels?

[red kiln]

they did

[stable dew]

he prob want to sell his acc in the future

[fallen geode]

I got phantom edition

[urban veldt]

😭

[oak lion]

Yeah lol but that ps5 exclusive skin looks so… boring

[wise quiver]

I remember buying a parrot cosmetic on Roblox and then selling it for like $100 worth of robux back in the day

[ornate hornet]

Same tbh but i think the storys waaaaaay too goofy

[wise quiver]

Art of the deal

[red kiln]

if you have a hobby lets say warhammer 40k and you like to collect minis, you have all except one you couldve had very easy but now you will never get it wouldent you be upset?

[stable dew]

i dont care about the ps5 skin , i dont own a ps5

[ornate hornet]

Like having Chief and that 16 year old rebel become friends somehow and rebel against the USNC was way too goofy

[urban veldt]

Not really

[torn lagoon]

i wasn't able to get all of the beta challenges completed because i could barely get a game or two in without it crashing my computer. or it just wouldn't launch

[topaz bluff]

Clearly this guy hasn't heard of exaggeration

[oak lion]

Yeah it’s a boring ass skin it’s just like… 2 stripes of blue

[tight prism]

What are you talking about? Halo ended at 3.

[stable dew]

not missing anything then lol

[red kiln]

im blue dabadi dabadaba 🗣️ 📢

[tight prism]

There were spinoffs like ODST and reach but that's it.. halo was a trilogy

[oak lion]

Look it up lmfao not even joking I’m shocked at how bad the skin looks like… I’m no longer upset over not getting it

[red kiln]

halo forward unto dawn was amazing movi dont even @ me

[cerulean sparrow]

reach?

[fallen geode]

If hating on bf6 phantom edition just leave bro

[tight prism]

Like I said, there were spinoffs like ODST and reach but that's it, halo was a trilogy

[red kiln]

halo guardians goated but yall dont have good taste dont even @ me

[cerulean sparrow]

oh I thought you were saying 3 was the last good one

[raw karma]

pc might end up being able to get the PTE skin in the future maybe

if one exists

[stable dew]

yeah i saw pretty normal skin should have been in the game normaly not as a reward but meh

[tight prism]

I wish we could've had a halo battlefield esque game. I want to play as an ODST

[stable dew]

pte ?

[red kiln]

just forge it

[ornate hornet]

Don’t disrespect reach like that

[urban veldt]

Play helldivers 2 then..

[raw karma]

Player Test Enviroment aka Labs

[wise quiver]

It might be possible to mod battlefield 2 to be halo themed

[ornate hornet]

It doesn’t hit the same

[red kiln]

halo after bungie became garbage and bungie after halo also became garbage lmao

[tight prism]

already doing that but nothing feels the same as halo

What we need to do is KILL 343i and give me the ownership of the game.

wtf wrong reply

I was replying to the helldivers 2 one oops

[sacred cedar]

Hella reach

[wise quiver]

Looking at how bungie and 343 turned out, it almost makes halo look like a fluke

[raw karma]

lol

[oak lion]

Again… I got every other reward besides that. Wasn’t gonna buy a PS plus subscription just to get that lame ass skin. Every other reward actually looks kinda awesome

[tight prism]

dude going from halo 3 to halo (4) was like going from a 5 star hotel to getting shot in an alleyway

wtf were they trying with the new convenant designs

[wise quiver]

Halo 4 is the most forgettable, halo 5 is the most disappointing, and halo infinite is the most tragic

[raw karma]

idk..D1 was pretty decent, D2 on the other hand

[idle kelp]

"Miller put the dinosaur down, its go time"

[sacred cedar]

Halo 6 will revive the franchise

[cerulean sparrow]

I miss og halo

[tight prism]

I miss halo being grand

[red kiln]

yep

[urban veldt]

I miss friday the 13th

[tight prism]

It felt so big to me, other games were good, but I just never looked at halo as a video game..very corny.. but that's just how it is

[oak lion]

WAIT GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE PS5 EXLUSIVE SKIN. Ok so turns out it’s locked only for the PS5. If you play your account on PC or xbox you will not be able to use that skin on those platforms

[stable dew]

make sense

[cerulean sparrow]

so it’s not beta only?

[oak lion]

No it is. But you can only use it on a PS5 platform nothing else

[urban veldt]

Wow. So cool.

[sand aspen]

hella excite

[oak lion]

Every other skin and unlock transfers to all platforms

[gilded solstice]

is it still possible they cancel the launch?

[oak lion]

Wdym

[tight prism]

Probably not

[wise quiver]

Physical copies are already being made

It’s rare for games to be delayed after they’ve started making discs

[stable dew]

if they cancel the launch that mean they found a nasty bug and need to fix it

[slender epoch]

Release floodzone

[wise quiver]

It’s also very rare for games to be delayed within 4 days of launch (looking at you kingmakers)

[slender epoch]

There’s still time

[stable dew]

floodzone was awesome

[oak lion]

That bug would have to be a massive security leak otherwise they’d just patch it day 1

[stable dew]

yep

[cerulean sparrow]

why would it be canceled

[wise quiver]

Floodzone embodied the levolution idea more than any other map

[oak lion]

Look they released bf2042 in the state it was, they won’t delay bf6… 3 days before it launched for anything

Tbh I know this is a bf6 server but it’s a modern miricale they were able to make bf3 playable on the ps3. Can’t imagine being limited to 24 players per server tho

[gilded solstice]

ok gn fellas

[topaz bluff]

Bum

[oak lion]

But it’s a shame consoles back then were so underpowered huge setbacks had to be made.

[cerulean sparrow]

I hope they don’t mess up bf6

[oak lion]

bro

The beta was all I needed to know. They can only mess it up with ridiculous skins but at that point

If the game plays good fuck it.

[hard ravine]

any of u play Sons of the Forest?

[stable dew]

i havent played that game since it came out

[hard ravine]

bro its so different and fun

[cerulean sparrow]

a lot can change from the beta

[stable dew]

i bet i need to get back to it and play it

[wise quiver]

Most out there skin I saw was one with a Hawaiian shirt

[hard ravine]

it gets creepy lol

[oak lion]

They’ve had people play the new maps and the BR mode. All of them said it was a step up from the beta

[wise quiver]

But you can find images of soldiers wearing Hawaiian shirts

[oak lion]

Fuck it that’s fine with me. As long as it’s not cartoon characters or celebrities I’m fine

[stable dew]

well as long as virginia doesnt get freeky all cool xD

[oak lion]

I’d honestly wouldn’t mind seeing shit like guns with goofy stickers and charms that’s fine

[sand spear]

@frank dust how much longer

[sand spear]

Yeah it’s the weapon skins

[unborn oar]

COD IS BACK @еveryоne​

[cerulean sparrow]

ngl that would be a cool skin

[stable dew]

to the trash can

call of fortnite

[oak lion]

Their dragon metal rainbow rgb gun skins

[wise quiver]

I can show you it in DMs

[sacred cedar]

Battlenite

[oak lion]

Please show it in mine as well as any other skins you found leaked

[sand spear]

Theme parks on your guns 😭

[cerulean sparrow]

even fortnite is better then cod nowadays

[stable dew]

they only thing missing from cod to be a fortnite copy and paste is the building stuff

[cerulean sparrow]

I’ll just look it up

[nova swallow]

I wouldn't go that far...

[hasty pond]

Are people in here STILL talking about CoD? lol... well at least its not the whining like on reddit about open vs closed weapons again

[hard ravine]

we do sometimes

[cerulean sparrow]

at least fortnite gets good seasons every once in awhile

[stable dew]

ah shit here we go again

[hasty pond]

CoD is fine, BF is fine, you are allowed to play more than one game

[nova swallow]

People that day this are ridiculous. Fortnite is about gimmick items that do weird stuff. Warzone still 3ants you to use your guns and move tactically. Whereas fortnite just let's you activate a cloud and fly around the map. There's no being pinned down in fortnite, just hit a button and fly away.

[hasty pond]

If by tactically you mean as fast and crazy as you can manage then yes Warzone movement is quite tactical

[hard ravine]

COD is not fine, even to their own consumers. They asked for realism, got it for 6 months with MW2019

[cerulean sparrow]

w one piece pfp

[nova swallow]

More tactical than fortnite. Fortnite is about items, not gunplay.

[hard ravine]

there is nothing "tactical" about COD lol

[timid otter]

I’m not showering Friday

[hasty pond]

brother no one is CoD is asking for realism, they hated MW19 because IW made some stupid changes and MW22 was ever worse, what they ask for is no SBMM which is what they finally got and its pretty fun actually

[wise quiver]

Warzone used to be about more tactical play before a bunch of movement tech got discovered and refined

[hard ravine]

So.. you're telling me everyone is fine with ninja turtles and nicki minaj skins? maybe 10% of the "whales" are. most are not

[wise quiver]

MW2022 even tried to go back to that slower, tactical pace but players didn’t like it (among other changes made)

[stable dew]

cod use to be fun game then streamers came and begged their dev to make the game like this and here we are

[hasty pond]

nah I was there day 1, it was never tactical the UAVs and stuff made sure standing still was never an option movement was always required, if you were still you were dead

[hasty pond]

I didn't say that skins are another topic all together.

[ancient patrol]

? Waht

[hasty pond]

but CoD players don't want milsim or even close to it gameplay wise

[hard ravine]

I just dont understand why people who wanted sci fi shit didnt stay on Halo. Instead they ruined COD

[hasty pond]

Black Ops 7 is basically a carbon copy of Black Ops 2 as far as setting goes you know

its not even close to the most futuristic cod

[stable dew]

funny i have seen lots of ppl saying its just the same as bo6

[hard ravine]

ill pass. The only reason I ever got into BO2 is because split screen was so good

[hasty pond]

that would be infinite warfare > black ops 3 > advanced warfare in that order

[nova swallow]

Black ops 4 all over again. Same blackout map, same guns, same skins, just copy n paste every other year.

[wise quiver]

Cod was a WW2 shooter until WW2 shooters got stale, then it was a modern shooter until modern shooters got stale, then it was a futuristic shooter until futuristic shooters got stale so they decided to go a different route and sort of rotate through eras

[hasty pond]

What? the blackout map is not going to be the same, the guns are not from black ops 4... black ops 4 is far removed from almost any CoD it was a big deviation

[past jasper]

do i need to remind you of 2142?

[hasty pond]

Some people have a hard time believing other people like things they don't

[wise quiver]

Also moving to the future gave them more room to expand and innovate

[hasty pond]

the open vs closed weapon debate on reddit is one instance of it

[wise quiver]

With a ww2 or modern shooter, you are limited by the technology of the time

[past jasper]

people in echo chambers think they are the only population yes

[tight prism]

Hello

[wise quiver]

If you set your game in the future, you can put in as many jetpacks and laser guns as you wanted

[past jasper]

a surprise to literally no one

[wise quiver]

That was until cod vanguard added a laser gun

[hasty pond]

I wish Black Ops 7 went further imo, wall jump is eh, wall running would have been better

if you are gonna go there just go there

[past jasper]

if cod bring back advanced movement i would legit just buy

[tight prism]

What do we know about the BF6 campaign story? Has that been revealed in the trailers yet?

[hasty pond]

You can make some interesting plays with wall jumps but it feels like you could do more

[past jasper]

there havent been a advanced movement bigger fps for a long while

[hasty pond]

Apex I guess counts

[past jasper]

nah

[hasty pond]

Arena wise? Titanfall 2

[wise quiver]

Not much story wise but it looks similar to battlefield 4’s campaign with the global scale and focus on a single squad overcoming the odds

[hasty pond]

Maybe The Finals, it has some nutty movement tech

[past jasper]

apex movement was a bit too neutered

[tight prism]

I am interested to see how much of an overlap it will have with current events happening LOL

[past jasper]

finals was fun with grapples and dashes

[wise quiver]

Probably not much since the point of divergence in the battlefield timeline was a while ago

[hasty pond]

its more than that they have wall standing with goo nades and you can dematerialize walls and shit, its kind of crazy

[past jasper]

im never good with those

[hasty pond]

you can pull off some insane crap that I will never be able to do but I have seen it on twitch

[past jasper]

i was pretty ok with grapple to get in and out of stuff pretty well

unfortunately my aim sucked (until i started back to use sniper)

[severe island]

tbh i have feeling that story will be dog water, considering that studio behind it was fired and they had to rebuild it

[past jasper]

also tbh im just quite not used to hitscan games

[rancid brook]

2042 made u sad?

[hasty pond]

Battlefield has never had a truly great campaign, so why start now I guess

[wise quiver]

It is a battlefield story in the modern writing landscape

[past jasper]

battlefield has always been multiplayer first

it should stay that way imo

[ancient patrol]

Never playd 🤷‍♂️

[past jasper]

2042 was a decent game imo

[tight prism]

They should set the campaign in Australia, and your squad has to overcome the emus.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War

[rancid brook]

So why the dislike

[ancient patrol]

Waht dislike?

[wise quiver]

I just hope they don’t pull a CoD and leave the story unfinished so it can be continued in post launch cutscenes

[hasty pond]

Which CoD is unfinished?

[wise quiver]

If they tie the battle royale into the story I am going to crash out

[rancid brook]

There @ancient patrol

[severe island]

after they fixed class system

[urban veldt]

All of them

[hasty pond]

uhhh ok

[ancient patrol]

Huh waht has pre order with 2042 tho do

[tight prism]

hasnt extraction shooters succeeded battle royale games? Or am I dreamin

[spice grotto]

Trust me, it is going to be fire. Have faith.

[hasty pond]

5000 bucks it isn't

[wise quiver]

Battlefield 6 is confirmed to get a battle royale mode post launch

[rancid brook]

What

[tight prism]

Gross

[hasty pond]

well, it will be fire though, dumpster fire

[tight prism]

What makes you so sure?

[urban veldt]

Minigun 🤤

[hasty pond]

The studio making the campaign got closed down less than 2 years ago and they had to scrap every bit of work and restart it in house at Motive, and from the previews you can see how rushed its been

[tight prism]

I wonder why they had to scrap it, and not just finish it off

[hasty pond]

It was unusable is all I know

[tight prism]

rip

[hasty pond]

My guess would be they never actually got any work done

still in the conceptual stage or something

[tight prism]

"What famous people can we partner up with to create hero characters"

[hasty pond]

I am sure we will find out after launch, some reporter will do a story about it I am sure

[spice grotto]

I think you will be surprised.

[hasty pond]

definitely not, all I needed to see was the teammate AI and the enemy AI in that mortar mission as well as the in game graphics and animations lol, every single thing they've shown looks 10 times worse than Multiplayer and that should never happen in a campaign

plus its 4 hours long

[normal echo]

the real question is whether it unlocks something cool and as such is "required"

if not, then w/e ill just go blast people in multiplayer

[hasty pond]

I really hope its just cosmetics because I don't particularly wanna play it right off... I hated BF4 had locked weapons like the p90

[quartz fossil]

No way they have a gun behind campaign

It would go against modern standards and not be fair to free to play BR players

[hasty pond]

One can only hope

[quartz fossil]

It'll be cosmetics for sure

[gilded solstice]

"Le Premiume Battelle Passe"

[wise quiver]

I doubt they would do it but it would be cool if beating the campaign gave you 4 cosmetics, each representing a different squad member

[hasty pond]

I mean I already assumed you'd get dagger w/e number squad characters for playing it

[cobalt summit]

Does someone know if the settings from the beta stay on the official game too?

[hasty pond]

https://i.redd.it/y07cgurxe9rf1.png

maybe not dagger squad but you get... something

[quartz fossil]

As in Sync? Probably not because it was a different program and they've changed the settings and the game itself ever since. Everything should be default.

[cobalt summit]

Thank you

[quartz fossil]

More reason to start with single player and wait for the multiplayer nerds to make guides lol

Or just play multiplayer at high settings and experience things as intended

[hallow geode]

With the nature of BR's I don't think its possible to lock weapons out of it. It's all random ground loot. If one person unlocked it then someone could just steal it from their body anyway

[tight prism]

Isn't modern standards "put everything behind a paywall"? So locking behind campaign would stirr up people to purchase the game

[wise quiver]

Makes me wonder if the br will even have a class system

[quartz fossil]

Not gameplay no

Most AAA devs know not to lock gameplay content behind paywalls even in free to play games let alone fully priced games like BF6

[wise quiver]

Did firestorm have classes? I forgor

[quartz fossil]

No just cosmetic characters

I think BF6 BR will have classes but not sure

[wise quiver]

*in the console and PC scene

[quartz fossil]

I don't think AAA terminology applies to mobile games but maybe I'm wrong

[wise quiver]

Gameplay content locked behind paywalls or agonizingly long grinds is common in the mobile space

[quartz fossil]

Sure

[wise quiver]

Most AAA publishers have a mobile branch

[quartz fossil]

Fair

I don't consider most mobile games to be games lol

[wise quiver]

Activision has King, which made candy crush

[still badge]

Hello guys, I have a pc with a 3060 ti and a 5600x. I also have a ps5 and I’ve always been a bf player of ps. Should I get bf6 on pc instead of ps? Will the experience be different somehow ? (I will play with controller on pc too)

[quartz fossil]

COD has candy crush insane lore

[wise quiver]

They also worked with tencent to make cod mobile

[quartz fossil]

COD mobile is actually good

Better than most PC console mainline releases it's legit just casual fun

[wise quiver]

It’s monetized to all hell and back but the gameplay is good

[quartz fossil]

Yeah but it doesnt fucking matter it's just a super casual fun game

[wise quiver]

And it doesn’t become obsolete after a year

[quartz fossil]

Yeah

Like seriously it's better than most COD mainline releases

[gilded solstice]

Phantalm Ediciaulm

[wise quiver]

I wonder if EA ever considered a mobile battlefield title

[quartz fossil]

I'm pretty sure you're gonna miss out on Portal since it's PC only.

[wise quiver]

Delta force shows that large scale combat can be done with our current mobile devices

[quartz fossil]

I have a freaking 3070, i7-11700K and 16 RAM and I can get 120ish fps on mixed settings playing on 1080p so

[junior badger]

Looking forward to you experts recreating the Nuketown map from Call of Duty in Battlefield 6's Portal mode.

[wise quiver]

You can play any portal experience on any platform but you can only make portal experiences on pc

[junior badger]

Because I can no longer afford Call of Duty 22; it's just too expensive.

[quartz fossil]

I'm pretty sure custom portal stuff is PC only

Like new game modes. Consoles can't handle it.

Like I'm talking the map generator and user generated content not just a portal server

[next ridge]

Would have to be a very low player limit, that's a tiny map

[wise quiver]

Every source I’ve seen says all portal experiences will be playable on console since portal doesn’t allow custom assets, only assets within the game

Portal is basically just a slightly more advanced halo forge

[junior badger]

I remember when I was a kid playing Counter-Strike, I really wanted to create a map based on my school because I knew the place so well. Please don’t laugh at my childish idea back then, but at the time, it was simply impossible for me to achieve. Now, with the release of Battlefield 6, that dream has finally come true

[quartz fossil]

Okay looked into it more. The creation tools themselves are PC only but the experiences they make can be played by console. Hmm interesting. Still think that dude should buy it on PC lol.

[wise quiver]

I heard somewhere that you could theoretically make experiences and maps on console with the browser but that sounds like a terrible idea

[quartz fossil]

Normal behavior this is how most map makers started they just rebuilt shit from real life

[wise quiver]

Because godot has a browser version

[ashen scaffold]

not likley, from what ive seen the map part is an external windows program and not browser based. Although the "editor" is browser based for configuring game logic but the actual asset editor isnt

[wise quiver]

Ah, alright

[ashen scaffold]

But cant see why not for the logic part, it will just be very difficult to do aha, i mean its the same as 2042 so you can test it with 2042's one if curious

[wise quiver]

Do you need to own battlefield 6 to use the asset editor?

That question gets dumber the more i think about it

[ashen scaffold]

well the asset editor isnt a battlefield 6 thing, its an engine thing so probably not. But to use battlefield 6 assets/get it in bf6, probably yes

na good question lol

[wise quiver]

I was asking because I’m getting the game on console since I use a Linux PC but I wanna try out the editor if I can

[ashen scaffold]

youll be sweet, account based anyways. worst case you can use wine or what ever the latest thing is for linux to run windows crap aha

[wise quiver]

Battlefield 6 has kernel anti-cheat which can’t be bypassed with just wine/proton

[dusky garden]

just wondering but what exactly are hd textures, looking at the download for bf6 and theres like 22gb of hd textures, but im prob gonna be playing on like low to medium settings for performance anyways. But is hd textures like 4k resolution? or is it like the ultra high texture settings etc?

[ashen scaffold]

Godot is supported on linux also so youll be good

[wise quiver]

I know that since I’ve tried using it before

[ashen scaffold]

godot is the asset editing tool we will be using

[hallow geode]

So If console players wanna make stuff can they just whip out a laptop or a cheap desktop PC or will it require good specs?

[wise quiver]

I hope battlefield 6 gets godot more attention

[ashen scaffold]

yes exactly

[wise quiver]

We need some alternatives in the game engine space

[ashen scaffold]

some what decent specs will be required to run godot

Godot Engine’s official minimum specs for running the editor (for basic 2D or 3D projects) are much lower:

~4 GB RAM on desktop
docs.godotengine.org

GPU with support for OpenGL 3.3 or Vulkan 1.0 depending on renderer
docs.godotengine.org
+1

Minimal CPU specs like older dual-core CPUs (examples: Intel Core-2-Duo E8200)
docs.godotengine.org

So prob something like this maybe idk

[hallow geode]

Ah interesting. I assumed it would just be completely browser based. No map making from a phone or a tablet then 🤣

[cinder tundra]

Hope they fixed the shitty kill cam where you couldn't see who shot u

[ashen scaffold]

yeah na its 100% godot from the videos they have posted on the editor aha, soo not browser based for asset editing

[gilded solstice]

do u think bf6 will come to the switch 2?

[ashen scaffold]

100% no

[bronze elk]

i cant wait any longer i need BF6 in me

[ashen scaffold]

id trade a kidney

Dice take my kidneys

[long bolt]

[void estuary]

I cant wait BF6 so hype!

[hallow geode]

Switch 6

[gilded solstice]

well, at least the soundtrack drops sooner than the game

[bronze elk]

10AM? WHY NOT MIDNIGHT!!!!!!!!! I NEED IT ON THURSDAY NIGHT

[ashen scaffold]

so keen for youtubers to havev access to I can atleast watch new gameplay

[rancid brook]

I'm clocking out at 9:59 😭

[junior badger]

Has the mechanic from previous games, where killed players can see their killer's location, been restored now?

[hallow geode]

Did Henry change his mind? I heard it all drops on the 10th?

[rancid brook]

Global release is their priority sadly

[cinder tundra]

Idk I'm asking I hope so because in the open beta it was shit

[worldly tapir]

Can I just join an afk server and leave it running in the background? Would I make it to the engineer skin in 7 hours

[hallow geode]

Not without the triple xp

[lament furnace]

How are we hanging, fellas, lol

[worldly tapir]

Is there no way to get the triple xp now

[cinder tundra]

I like the delta force kill cam where you can see the shamed player even a km away

[long bolt]

there are daily exp limits/caps
for portal*

[rancid brook]

Barely. You?

[hallow geode]

Ended after the weekend I think

[lament furnace]

Blood is boiling, bro, the anticipation

[worldly tapir]

How will I know when I’ve reached it? And is it worth even trying then

[torn lagoon]

the main menu says that triple exp ends at the same time as road to bf6 pass

[worldly tapir]

So keep going?

[wise quiver]

The afk servers are insanely slow at getting xp
