battlefield-6

[amber belfry]

thats a good 8 hours you could have been farming lvls on videogames

[hollow jasper]

damn i love globalism

[tribal zodiac]

Idk, i was not thrilled about my $600 cpu dying after 3 years

[midnight solstice]

Hey guys so i would like to know why does the kord hit hard

[tired violet]

Bring back beta movement!

[amber belfry]

i build my pc at the perfect time. 40 series, the 7800x3d, ssds and my ram were at a alltime low and havent gotten down to how much i got it for since then in price

[tribal zodiac]

So i did the responsible thing and bought another $600 cpu and put it in a motherboard thats known for killing said cpu

[amber belfry]

low recoil high accuracy high rpm. its decent

[hollow jasper]

i see you dont like having money

[amber belfry]

well those motherboards shouldnt be sold tbh. not your fault

[tribal zodiac]

Well it was free, so

[midnight solstice]

I hated it at first and now it's like i feel like i became the very thing i hated lol

[hollow jasper]

new egg deal?

[tribal zodiac]

No i got it from a friend because he refused to use it or sell it after it killed his 7800x3d

[amber belfry]

diff cpu so ur safe if you pray hard enough

[tribal zodiac]

But i have a warranty

[tribal zodiac]

Yeah you should see my driveway if you think this is expensive

[hollow jasper]

juist buy a back up mobo incase and have it on standby

[amber belfry]

all the good hobbies are expensive

[tribal zodiac]

Me and my gf have 10 cars between the 2 of us

[hollow jasper]

me and my partner are going to try and buy a houes next year

[amber belfry]

hed need a backup cpu. the boards fry the cpu. usually the boards survive.

[hollow jasper]

jeeeeez

[hollow jasper]

why risk the same board frying a cpu twice???

boards are 300 at max not errible not bad

[tribal zodiac]

A lack of funding

[hollow jasper]

seems like youll have 9 cars on your drive way in the neaar future

[tribal zodiac]

I dont sell cars in the winter unless absolutely required

Its like selling a snowmobile in the middle of summer

Less potential buyers and you wont get as much money

[hollow jasper]

Do you buy them fix em up and resell em?

[tribal zodiac]

Yeah

[balmy sinew]

yall still awake?

[quick wolf]

nope

[hollow totem]

Why is that btw?

[west tinsel]

I want Shangai Siege or Metro pls

[torn peak]

its 9 am

[balmy sinew]

oh its 1 am for me

[novel belfry]

I love the m13

[west tinsel]

9:42 of the morning here in Spain

[dry quest]

Yay im not chat banned anymore

[dawn nexus]

anyone having scoreboard bug?

[heavy ruin]

Oof 🥀 😭

That a cpu dies is rare thing tho

[dusky tusk]

is there a new update?

[topaz furnace]

Morning boys

[amber belfry]

8.2gb update for me

[white basin]

Redsec we eating GOOD

Multiplayer mfs crying for a update 😭

[pliant viper]

They still haven't fixed bot kills showing in your stats, have they?

[harsh pebble]

Never will

[warped steppe]

#game-news message
funny how i got told that it's my settings who caused the lightning bug then i see this.

[pure solstice]

Might have been specific settings, but that's still a thing that should be fixed :)

[warped steppe]

booted up the update and it was fixed lol

[pure solstice]

nice, every fixed bug is a good bug

[west tinsel]

Metro pls or Shangai Siege

[warped steppe]

point was that all these " know it all guys " kept calling me a dumbass and blaming me

[runic hawk]

cant join any friends after the update

[topaz furnace]

Did you try restart?

[runic hawk]

yes, multiple times. all of us

[ashen mesa]

Bugged for me too

[pure solstice]

Did they actually update? I had that problem last time where the game started for me without updating automatically

[rich torrent]

Well technically it was your settings because putting lighting on high fixed the issue.

[warped steppe]

really? it was on high and now it's gone?

one of these know it all bois right here

[rich torrent]

Myself and multiple friends all fixed the issue by putting lighting from low to high.

It's been a well known fix since Eastwood was released.

You being unaware doesn't make someone a "know it all".

[warped steppe]

lol, yup. one of those.

[cloud gazelle]

when you get in lobby with cheaters, does leaving only cost you earned exp or is there any other downside of not wanting to play with them?

[rich torrent]

Ah yes, it's such an issue that people take their time to read and fix things rather than just complain on Discord.

[warped steppe]

exactly! you're not a not it all boi because you really just didn't took it for granted that i tried everything!

[royal dock]

I just logged in to see a new daily login reward

[rich torrent]

A temporary fix for a bug isn't going to work for everyone but changing the lighting has helped everyone I've seen with this issue.

The bug fix not working for you doesn't mean it doesn't work. 💀

[royal dock]

Any1 knows if they started today or did I miss out on something?

[abstract nexus]

They started yesterday

Well depending on the tz it'd be the day before yesterday

In a few hrs it'll be the third log in reward

[royal dock]

Damn that's a shame

I hope they I can still get the 7th one

[glacial coyote]

I SPEAK FOR EVERYONE WHEN I SAY THAT BATTLEFIELD 6 IS THE GREATEST GAME EVER MADE! 🗣️🔥

[rich torrent]

Far from it.

[trail nova]

i did every single weekly challenge including the bonus this week, and i still dont have the bonus path / frostfire finished. im sitting on 8/11.

can i just say the expected grind for a timed bonus path is ridiculous and why did they do this

[warped steppe]

"The bug fix not working for you doesn't mean it doesn't work. "
"but changing the lighting has helped everyone"
you really hearing yourself mate?

[rich torrent]

"Everyone I've seen".

If you're going to quote me, atleast make it accurate.

[trail nova]

like its just hours upon hours sunk into games for ridic cosmetics, the grind also sharply increased when compared to previous bp

[fiery oxide]

You'll get new weeklies today

[feral minnow]

drs really be peak gun ngl

[trail nova]

yeah i know, thats what made me stop and think how much ive played and still havent done this bp. i did one of the earlier battle passes in 1 round, for contrast

[rich torrent]

These insults or whatever you're trying to do here really aren't getting you the effect you think they are.

It's not my fault you can't quote accurately or lack knowledge on subjects.

[fiery oxide]

Ok?

Not really

[trail nova]

why

[keen meadow]

Hmm. The update is 85mb on pc? That low? Dang.

[river fox]

Matchmaking broken?

[undone flare]

So how many battlefields in a row can you not edit loadouts while you're twiddling your thumbs between matches

[trail nova]

did it fine in 2042, so 0?

[hard mortar]

Just bf4 iirc.

[undone flare]

And BF6 or am I blind

[next garden]

DICE please lower the load out customization cost. I want to be able to attach bigger magazines without it costing half of the allowed amount.

[undone flare]

I just hate there's a bunch of required costs. Why are iron sights and basic ammo still 5

And you're five points short of being able to put the extended mag and the suppressor on the 1911

[nova herald]

the glitch where the cursor randomly disappears from the map while you are trying to select a spawn point still isnt fixed 🙁

[mint spruce]

Losing your cursor in Redsec is also still an issue, maybe related

[keen meadow]

I miss the metro map 🥀

[trail nova]

nope it would make game too spammy, learn to tap fire

[keen meadow]

Seems lots of bots tonight

[dry quest]

I mean...its 5am on a weekday

[trail nova]

timezones exist

[dry quest]

Correct. His country is US. So either way its 3-5am

[trail nova]

why you assume his country

[dry quest]

You have to pick a region when you sign up in the discord...

[pure elk]

You realize Canada, Mexico, USA, all have the same time zones

[trail nova]

oh i see yeah it's AUTZ prime time

so if you're not from australia / south asia you should probably be asleep

[dry quest]

98% of NA is asleep ya

[trail nova]

new res evil in like 2wks? that came around quick

wonder if 7 and 8 are worth playing

[pure elk]

They are

[trail nova]

are they both ethan games?

[pure elk]

Yes

[trail nova]

mm might be happy to skip then. im more of a main cast guy

[pure elk]

7 is good. 8 is probably best RE since 4

Several main characters cameo in both of them

[trail nova]

ohh right

i'll get them then, too much of a fan of the series to skip honestly

dont laugh but i actually found re7 too scary. i tell other people i "didnt like first person perspective" but thats because i got too immersed

[pure elk]

Don’t know about pc but you can get 7 and 8 bundled together with the dlc for $80 on Xbox

[trail nova]

and my friend told me re7 on VR has made multiple people in his house scream

[pure elk]

They added third person mode to 7

[trail nova]

i played some early game and stopped after the car scene in the garage

that was... a lot for my heart

[trail nova]

bit of a huge change wow...

[pure elk]

I lied. They added 3rd person to 8.

[trail nova]

ah yeah

[pure elk]

There’s a bundle for the remakes of 2, 3, and 4 as well for $80

[trail nova]

i have those, those are goated

[pure elk]

I just bought them. I played 2 a long time ago. Never played 3 and 4

[trail nova]

im finishing re2 leon 2nd scenario at the moment, such a perfect game

[pure elk]

You have to play the game four times to get all story yes? Since there is a and b scenario for both characters

[trail nova]

i bought the OG 1, 2, 3 pack for PC on GOG late last year and busted out 3 because it's the one I missed. Man it might actually be better than 2. So good

[trail nova]

umm so I don't think so. My perspective is the 2nd scenarios are like remixes like there's different routes and some different scenes. You can see some stuff happening in the 2nd scenarios are when Claire is doing X Leon is simultaneously doing Y. So I guess you get a bigger picture of events overall but, the "story" doesn't change much

oh google AI is telling me 2nd playthroughs have "true endings" im not at the end yet, lol spoilers. so i guess that changes my answer to a yes

[pure elk]

That was my understanding from what I read. Slight difference to some cut scenes and a few Easter eggs

[trail nova]

" the 2nd Run provides the true ending, features a different starting location, unique cutscenes, and acts as a parallel story showing what the other character was doing"

[round quail]

When will season 2 update drop ? That Delta force ( BF slop ) has more players than bf6 now 😭

[trail nova]

some of the easter eggs are funny like in the STARS office there's a voice recording of Chris saying how many babes he's seen on his vacation and how much fun he's having

[trail nova]

not sure but i feel like it's been delayed? i finished s1 content a while ago now...

[round quail]

Give us content bro. What kind of live service game this is. Feels like playing a story game. F2p game has more content than this game

[trail nova]

bro i know. i only have 200hrs played give me more

[round quail]

EA got 2 billion USD from Saudi Arabia deal. Where did you put the money EA ? 😭 It's suspicious

[trail nova]

also why drop 1 map for a season? what is this? drop like SIX. go crazy. come on bro

[round quail]

DF has more content than this

[trail nova]

is the BHD content out for that yet?

[round quail]

People are leaving to DF and arc raiders 😭

[modest jackal]

Is it really confirmed that Season 2 is only getting one map or are we still missing details?

[trail nova]

so its golmud railway so far. but we did get 2 for season 1 (eastwood and blackwell) sooo you'd hope theres a lot more

[round quail]

Make big maps please. What is this cod map in BF? You ditched nfs and told us everyone is working in BF studios. Still you can't make good content

[valid roost]

Golmund Railway is NOT a season 2 map

[trail nova]

then what is it? redsec map?

[pure elk]

If you read the sale you would understand that the sale hasn’t even been finalized and when it gets through arbitration, ea is coming out 20 billion dollars in debt

[round quail]

Looks like bf will follow cod soon . Every year new cod and no content

[valid roost]

It is for a future season. Read the articles and you will understand that it will only appear in BF Labs for testing, and collaborative community feedback and building during season 2.

[round quail]

Damn

[modest jackal]

I don't think the "Yearly BF" will happen.

[pure elk]

Nothing official. Just the teaser and confirmed contamination map

[round quail]

I am going to refund the game today . I just bought the game today. But I feel like playing call of duty.

[pure elk]

Everyone hoping they have more content than shown

[trail nova]

oh well they need to drop a new maps teaser or something. we're in a holding pattern and dont know what's coming up. people are leaking to other games. sad

[round quail]

I will refund it and buy it again after 3 months when it will have more content and cheap on sale

[trail nova]

you will be able to buy all the bp stuff im grinding for now too

[valid roost]

They have historically never added past BP content for sale.

[trail nova]

then how do you get them after the timers expire?

[honest cobalt]

Does anyone know of a different way of support ?

The ea help chatbot keeps looping back on itself and closing the ticket without doing anything or giving any solutions.

It been three weeks and im getting tired of the stupid ai

[tawdry cipher]

The fix on the ai sticker and the bf pro skin that looked like cod ghosts skin didnt change

The mask on the ghost skin changed but the main thing everyone hated about it stayed (the diaper) and the ai sticker is literally the same thing with two barrels still???? Who tf is letting this through

[pure elk]

It’s a sticker who cares

[brisk pewter]

What’s the new update? I thought season two wasnt til mid February?

[frozen roost]

Game works now

[tawdry cipher]

When they make a post about dedicating themselves to not using ai and fixing it but somehow fail to do so upsets people

[brisk pewter]

Oh just some fixes?

[trail nova]

Umm just curious where was this post made?

[frozen roost]

Ye

[pure elk]

That’s month old news. Time to get over it

[brisk pewter]

Still probably gonna wait til season 2

[wild bramble]

So apparently the ai that designed this whole game still cant make proper cosmetics? Thats wild dog

[tawdry cipher]

Look in screenshots for the pic, their actual post mentioning fixing it was in a recent post and mentioning not using ai is old news

[brisk pewter]

Really wanna play the game but just tired of the same maps rn

[trail nova]

same i quit halfway through a round now im here. just... 😴

[frozen roost]

I’ll take ai slop over ptw. If stickers and emblems are where they cut corners it’s fine. Game is fun

[trail nova]

yeah if i could do an AI prompt to shit out 1000 stickers and it's content people actually care about i do it 10 out of 10 times

[frozen roost]

I don’t sticker things but I’d definitely put ai brainrot stickers on weaponry because it’s funny

Paint it pink maybe, cat ears perhaps- sprinkles too?

[pure elk]

Force everyone to wear diaper ghost skin

[tawdry cipher]

It is soldier skins too, all things you pay for in packs

[pure elk]

I already play all women operators because i know it triggers some people 😂

[frozen roost]

Yeah but I just don’t pay attention enough to care ya know?

[tawdry cipher]

I dont understand that complaint, dont post female soldiers on the reddit bf6 page

[frozen roost]

I barely have enough time to react and kill another player- let alone give a shit about what they look or sound like

[trail nova]

lol yeah we're over here dealing with 0.2 sec TTK, and lil bro over here is worried about his stickers being on point

[frozen roost]

And everyone looks the same through a thermal 🤫

[pure elk]

Priorities

[tawdry cipher]

When you buy something with real money and are promised no ai then it is annoying. If all you can say is haha redditor then you should just ignore the complaints because you clearly arnt affected

[trail nova]

why are you buying cosmetic packs dude lol

[frozen roost]

But you guys shout into an echo chamber. Kinda unnecessary at this point

[tawdry cipher]

Because i can? Because i like having custom stuff? Also nice youtube name “totally awesome guy” LMAO

[trail nova]

yeah this is true. what I found most concerning is that I was told here that DICE gets feedback from the subreddit. which should be the first place they ignore because its mostly people complaining about not a lot

[tawdry cipher]

Anyway not worth the argument

[trail nova]

thanks man i snagged it before someone took it

[tired flower]

The ai slop really grinds my gears. First it's just a sticker, then it's just a skin, then it's just the voice acting, and so on and so on.
Fuck ai art

[frozen roost]

I feel like they’re fully aware at this point. I’m sure they’d be thankful with any other complaint

[tawdry cipher]

Next its ai map layouts, people have already speculated that but i dont think it goes that deep.

[heavy palm]

what is a point of bonus path's, it wont go foward, it's stuck. Every bonus path that is given, got stuck 😄

[frozen roost]

Even if it’s all ai generated: is it truly bad if it’s still a good time?

[valid roost]

People saying players are leaving for Arc Raiders, and blaming AI Slop...when Arc uses the most gen AI out of any recent game is pretty funny to see

[trail nova]

genuine question, i havent bought any but cant you preview the packs in the store, see it's AIslop and not buy?

[tired flower]

Yes

[trail nova]

dont worry you won't be able to tell it's AI by this time next year 🙂

[tawdry cipher]

I remember when a majority of the challenges were bugged and you got progress on them from doing other things or just straight up couldn’t. Alot of them made no sense

[frozen roost]

That’s my point, if I can’t tell.. why would it matter?

[trail nova]

was that AI generated text for the challenges? some of them had stupid wording and were broken yes. some also had no reward LOL

[tired flower]

Whatever makes it easier for you to sleep at night

[trail nova]

i had one for months that said "domination challenge" and it was win 5 matches of conquest. I was like

[tawdry cipher]

Those were apparently “ai generated” which is why half of them didnt work

Or they were just super bugged but who knows

[wild bramble]

Brave of you to assume the map isnt Ai generated anyways

[tawdry cipher]

I grinded the recon one out for the mastery and it took days just to have it fixed a day or two after

[trail nova]

well think about it. it's not going to stop no matter how much you dislike it. so they will push it until you can't tell. then you can't complain. problem fixed, no?

[wild bramble]

I swear all of bf6 is vibecoded and thats why there's weird differences in bugs received by each player

[tawdry cipher]

Its pretty easy to tell though, then nobody will buy the slop or sales drop.

[wild bramble]

Like they vibe coded this giant string and now dont know how to fix it atp

[tawdry cipher]

https://80.lv/articles/battlefield-6-gets-slammed-for-adding-ai-generated-cosmetics

[trail nova]

sure its easy to tell today. refer to previous comments about in 12 months you wont be able to tell if it's AI or not

[frozen roost]

Most of you guys are probably ai generated and implanted here to radicalize some poor soul into atrocities for government shadow organizations

[wild bramble]

But its not something we should praise within an artform?

[tawdry cipher]

Usually how it goes when these big companies decide ai is the go and rely on it just for it to break and them not being able to fix it without re doing most of it

[wild bramble]

God I wish

[trail nova]

never praised it. i just dont care about AI stickers and positing that if in 12 months you cant tell if it's AI anymore, what's the difference at that point? you can't complain because you wont know

[wild bramble]

That was my point exactly lol

[tired flower]

It's because of people like you that they can get away with this shit lmao.
You arent the type of person who's gonna have their opinion changed by a discord chat anyway so this conversation is beyond pointless

[frozen roost]

Bro it isn’t gonna stop because of normie consumers like myself and others who just don’t care

[tired flower]

See above

[wild bramble]

The issue is it makes me question what else is Ai or vibecoded. Like yes a sticker is a small part of a game but if they'll ai generate a sticker twice then fuck it up twice then I dont have any confidence with anything else that is ai generated in the game

[rich torrent]

Considering the negative impacts of Ai, it's always bad.

[wild bramble]

It makes me question the authenticity of the game and thats not what should be happening to a consumer

[tawdry cipher]

They are “supposed” to only be using ai to make an idea so they can work on that (sticker design/soldier skin) but a few things have slipped in which are obviously not touched upon. But how may times will they accidentally slip unfinished ai skins in until everyone stops purchasing store content

[fiery oxide]

The people actually buying skins clearly don't care

[trail nova]

yeah because the AI ship has sailed and we can't stop it. they will "get away with it" no matter what. NVIDIA has bought all majority of RAM in the whole world for their AI datacenters to keep pushing this everywhere. China has had to come to the rescue in the consumer market by spinning up new fabs. That's billions sunk into the tech, and US and China have been having an AI arms race for years as it is. Sitting on discord with my hands on my hips saying "well i just dont like it!" won't stop anything lol

[tawdry cipher]

To me it shows laziness and reliance on technology also they should all be checking these before putting them in but apparently not?

[frozen roost]

Oh no! Power consumption! You’re meaning to tell me that there’s potential for another Industrial Revolution pivoting on the axis of power consumption? That that we might discover new forms of generation to align us back with our needs? As we’ve done?? For generations??

[tawdry cipher]

Its more or so they want a particular item from a pack like a gun skin or soldier skin but you have to get a bunch of ugly ai stickers too

[wild bramble]

Dog if were getting into the ill affects of ai in general then fuck ram. They're literally destroying water supplies

[rich torrent]

I'm talking about part prices for the systems we play the game on, and also loss of jobs.

[trail nova]

we're basically in the middle of the ground shifting for consumer tech and stuck in the muds complaining will be the ones left behind, as always. remember those old people that said they shouldn't have to learn to use the internet? you might be too young to remember, but it happened. edit: you sound like them

[frozen roost]

Designing media for consumption is a privilege

People have to want it

[tawdry cipher]

Do you not know how bad ai data centre’s are atm? Have you seen the documentaries in america from small towns having no water or massive light/noise pollution purely from those data centres?

[frozen roost]

If the sentiment remains that people want it- they will keep producing it

[wild bramble]

The worldly affects and the heights that bills are reaching, then yeah I actually do expect people to start doing something

[tawdry cipher]

Why do you think they want Greenland so bad, these places need space and cold (just a game theory)

[trail nova]

this part is 100% fair criticism and I agree!

[rich torrent]

Again, still doesn't change what I said.

Parts for both consoles and pcs are more expensive and people are losing jobs over some stupid system which can't make art properly or even understand basic words in support chats.

[frozen roost]

Well, owning the newest hardware is also a privilege

[rich torrent]

Again, doesn't change anything I said.

[frozen roost]

How?

[trail nova]

they need the resources correct. same with venezuela

why would a modern western empire just start randomly land grabbing in peace times eh? think about it bros

[wild bramble]

The sad thing is we were getting to the point were pc parts were easily accessible. And the parts are negligby worst than they used to be.

I dont think its wrong to wish that computer science could be studied on a wider bandwidth

[trail nova]

yeah new PC tech is worse than it used to be, was surprised when i built my latest PC

[wild bramble]

Its sad bro💀 like 4 to 6 k for a card that is probably worse than a 3060

[tawdry cipher]

I spent 5000$ aud on my pc a couple months before the ram crisis

Still spent alot but i avoided even worse

[wild bramble]

You got out Hella lucky

[valid roost]

AI isnt necesarily the issue...the use of it can be tho. There are basically no standards, or rules or ethics to govern it...so its like the wild west ATM. Everyone is trying to make a max profit, with nothing reigning in capability.

Power usage can be a concern for the average person tho, in the same way other parts of AI use (Stated above) will also affect the average user. AI needs massive data centers, who need memory, power, which affects the price of everything people use/purchase in modern times. Power demand being high due to data centers will make power cost more for the average person, same with memory, same with precious metals if things continue to grow as they have.

The end user (You and I) also suffers...as more and more Gen AI stuff will be thrown at us...and as less and less creative humans are used for creative processes...this will get worse in the long term, at least culturally. AI is trained on data...but when everything (Or a majority) of the new things are AI gen...how can it grow?

This isnt even speaking on how AI use affects human cognative ability...but thats a whole other topic

[wild bramble]

I was planning on building one since I've helped build workstations for a few years n then the ram skyrocketed

[trail nova]

the price increase is pure NVIDIA greed man. They conditioned gamers to enjoy 8gb and 16gb cards for a decade while selling you on software features like AI upscaling that makes things blurry and framegen to make your numbers go up with fake frames. all the while selling to AI datacenters so you can use your overpriced underperforming shit card to play AI slop games that flop more often than not

[tawdry cipher]

Its just a cheap and easy tool for these companies to make more dollars

Dw the ai bubble is most likely going to pop and it will hopefully die off (at least for major use)

[wild bramble]

I somewhat agree. I believe taking all the knowledge in these data centers and just having it open access would help a lot. Instead of an ai summary you could get information from the source. But as you alluded this would take even more regulations to make sure the centers aren't being used in the same vain as server farms

[wild bramble]

Brother I completely agree. I bought a TV and couldn't get one without "ai enhanced capabilities"

[warped steppe]

Haha back to lagging after update woho

[wild bramble]

Like a fucking TV? I had to ask a worker what its native resolution was because it didnt even say on the box

[valid roost]

I mean...it seems like these people and companies at the top are also immune to laws to an extent. There have been many instances that have come to light, where these models are being trained on mass libraries of pirated content...but it seems like no one cares...as it all leads to profit.

Rules for thee, but not for me type deal...but thats the way of thw worlds when you have money/backing

[wild bramble]

God that meta lawsuit was depressing

We could've actually have had a win as consumers

[warped steppe]

https://discord.com/channels/870246147455877181/1468195351092658354 released some more new stuff if someone care about modding😅

[trail nova]

wow i cant post a message because of a blocked word. hmm i tried to clean up the message 4 times now haha

[tropic horizon]

noo its just small companies that cant afford to pay for legit content
like NVIDIA

[valid roost]

You can guarantee its all of them.

[tawdry cipher]

I got a strike not long ago for using a word haha but it wasnt even a bad word

[trail nova]

i came back from console (bought xbox the last time PC was too expensive to build, covid times) and saw that cards available were 8 and 16gb and my amd rx480 from 12 years ago now has 8gb of VRAM and im like, 'what happened to the market, it hasnt progressed' and started to notice NVIDIA's marketing tactics. My pc gamer friends were struggling with the software features they were paying thousands for. it was insane

[wild bramble]

Think of the really small companies though like microsoft

[trail nova]

oh it finally posted yay. i guess i cant say "diabolical" on this discord

[wild bramble]

😭😭😭

[wild bramble]

Yea I went through the same this year. I got a buddy who was an intern for nasa so he was always upgrading his station. We made our own custom water cooler for the 4080 but then it got to the point where there was no reason to upgrade anymore. So I ended up buying an xbox instead of building a pc

[trail nova]

i wonder why that particular word is blocked, strange

[wild bramble]

Last year * forgot its 2026

[valid roost]

My main worry with AI, especially in videos games...is something that has been an issue even before AI. Games becoming iterative clones of other games, lacking the ability to stand out on their own unique design. Lack of new and unique features, instead rehashing of features from old games, or other franchises.

[wild bramble]

Well I hope you're excited for gta 6 and definitely not as depressed as I am knowing that its 100% gonna have derivative code from other games

Especially with the strike busting and losing employee trust

[tawdry cipher]

Also chat gpt being used to write scripts and lines but i dont think they would use that, maybe in the campaigns story mode xD

[trail nova]

did you happen to buy GTA definitive edition when it released

[wild bramble]

Oh dear God no. From having xbox those were already backwards compatabile but you could see the train wreck coming from miles away

I think a buddy streamed it off of gamepass on his phone and that was all I needed to see

[trail nova]

all the signs that had text on them were incomprehensible, plus other issues with skybox and rain effects, it was so obviously an AI dump that wasn't quality checked at all lol. it's GOOD now though!

[wild bramble]

Dog I saw that the comic sans signs were fucking hilarious

Idk how they made the best gta games into what was basically mobile games for a new market

[amber belfry]

in san andreas there was a shop with a big hex nut on the roof. they just made it a big silver circle in that abomination

[amber belfry]

well they did hire the devs from the mobile port didnt they

[trail nova]

lmao so yeah i have high hopes for GTA6, im sure it's not getting delayed because it's AI gen slop based on google earth of miami from start to finish

[tawdry cipher]

Also where was the game mode they mentioned and was leaked where you escort a machine or armoured vehicle to objectives? Did they just scrap it

[amber belfry]

it will take a year to get ported to pc anyways

[wild bramble]

Well maybe they have some advance type of ai engineering that tells them having nothing to torque off a nut is actually the optimal way we should be keeping stuff secure

[wild bramble]

God dice ea whoever just give us operations back

[amber belfry]

whenever a game gets close to release ppl just make shit up. if it was looked at in dev it never made it to labs or playtests

[trail nova]

meanwhile we get to sit back and potentially witness the biggest disaster of a launch unfold. dont forget Sam Houser left during development then it's been nothing but delayed since

[tawdry cipher]

We might get it back!

[amber belfry]

gta6 hype is so undeserved. V was mid as hell and the mp was a slopfest

[midnight solstice]

What were operations again i remember playing on the ps3 bf4 operations

[wild bramble]

Plus the strikes and union busting

[warped steppe]

Love how people write EZ in the end and their KD is 2/20 :hahaha

[tawdry cipher]

At that point when it was leaked they had not had labs in a while. Gameplay was leaked from data minors on bilibili showing the game mode in early examples

[trail nova]

umm, nah GTA5 is good, i had a lot of fun with it

[wild bramble]

Two sides had multiple rounds to take over segments of a map. They were separated with attackers and defenders with a resupply every round

Thats the most basic way I could explain ops

[tawdry cipher]

Kinda like breakpoint but more objectives and linked across multiple maps

[midnight solstice]

Oh really huh i must've forgotten about it

[amber belfry]

ive finally maxed out all carbines, time for ARs ig.

[wild bramble]

The story was very try hard. Killing two mainstay characters because the last game was to gritty and realistic kinda made me turn off from the story

But I also loved lost and the damned and just gta 4 in general

[amber belfry]

4 is the franchises peak.

[wild bramble]

The physics engine in the game still outclasses current games of today

[midnight solstice]

I hated the kord and told myself that i'll never use it and here i am using it. I became the very thing i swore to hate lol

[trail nova]

gta 4 was such a slow burn for me. was luke warm on it when it released. as years go on i appreciate it more and more

[hard mortar]

I'd say that the map design in 3 was peak. Bf4 had the best gunplay and balance.

[trail nova]

lol edit: oh yeah battlefield

[wild bramble]

There's nothing like being able to pick up a piece of trash then toss it at a homeless person to watch them ragdoll. 10/10 most realistic NYC experience I've ever had

[amber belfry]

i was talking about gta lol, if you really wanna talk peak id say its bf1. vehicle to infrantry gameplay was pretty balanced. Ui was good, graphics are good, coloring / filters are good, it felt good and was by far the best launch

[wild bramble]

God battlefield 1 iron sight sniping

[hard mortar]

Oh uh.... Infantry gameplay was okay. Map design was fine... Vehicle balance? What's that?

[trail nova]

bf1 was too good for a WW1 game, there i said it. i wish i could get the equivalent modern setting version of it

[pale orbit]

The game keeps closing on its own. Do you know of a solution that works? I've been wanting to play for two weeks and I can't.

[amber belfry]

nearly every single thing about bf1 was done well.

[trail nova]

yeah it was a slick game

[wild bramble]

Ive been trying to convince a buddy to download bf1 just for his first Zeppelin experience. But he just sticks to 6

[pure solstice]

Hoping we get some of the Endgame/Aftermath maps in 6. CTF on sabalan/riverside was my jam

[amber belfry]

we do not talk about the smg 08 or mortar truck

[hallow geode]

Uh oh....Operation metro is featured on front page as of 4 minutes ago and it's restricted XP so nobody is gonna bother with it

[hard mortar]

Planes were way too powerful, being infantry felt like fodder, and it wasn't exactly too enjoyable until the button lmr was introduced.

[amber belfry]

there was a anti plane gun. that shit was fun and busted

[hard mortar]

Yes! This aftermath maps, armored kill... All of those were awesome.

[hard mortar]

Yeah the Burton lmr. The pure joy I felt in humbling planes that were otherwise untouchable was awesome.

[amber belfry]

nah like the at gun but aa

[wild bramble]

I remember sniping planes with the anti tank rifle. All you had to adjust for was extra drop for a one shot kill

[amber belfry]

i spent a unhealthy amount of time on the martini henry and model 1900 slug

[hard mortar]

Yeah... But it's not consistently repeatable. Those planes were going almost 500 kills in some games. That is absurd.

[wild bramble]

Not defending it just saying that they weren't to much of a bother to me

[amber belfry]

also any m433 enjoyers here. i need a nice loadout for it

[trail nova]

BF6 needs an "old man" DLC pack with like Arica Harbor, Sharqi Peninsula, Mashtuur City, Port Valdez and massive damage single shot rifles like the G3 from back in the days. Then another "greatest hits" pack with like Strike at Karkand and Wake Island.

[wild bramble]

Wake island would be so nice if they added naval combat

[trail nova]

yeah we need ENEMY BOAT SPOTTED from yesteryear.

[amber belfry]

i just want a deagle

[tawdry cipher]

They should add nv goggles and more night maps, also add the battle pick ups back! They took those out so fast

[jade surge]

Mashtuur City is the goat bf map. But I feel most haven't played it to come to that conclusion

[amber belfry]

they werent good or fun

[trail nova]

yeah thats why i called it the old man DLC. it would be a new map to 80% of the BF community now haha

[amber belfry]

i acc forgot they added them tbh

[tawdry cipher]

I thought they were fun but spawned too often, the mini gun was a lil crazy with recoil but i guess it is a mini gun after all

[trail nova]

dude that massive LMG mingun pickup vanished from the game so fast. I lugged it from one side of the map to the other to have 2 of them and just shred everyone

[amber belfry]

id like dynamic weather

fog, rain. i can live without the sand storms.

[trail nova]

whats the bf4 map thats just a series of islands and you zoom around on boats and parachute out of choppers? bring that back

[wild bramble]

Mods are tryna kill this channel quick talk more about Ai so they leave the chat alone

Then they can go complain to their gpt therapist

[trail nova]

yeah i thought it was just me haha, reddit mods logged on 👀

i love AI stickers in BF6 i hope they make one like Will Smith eating spaghetti I would pay $60 for that sticker pack thanks DICE

[jade surge]

It would be so loved I swear. I played bf2 on a ati 9550 and 512mb of ram. Can't imagine how that map would look nowadays lol

[amber belfry]

i played bf2 on a laptop back in the day. no clue what its specs were but it was beefy enough for bf2

[trail nova]

our entire clan bought 8800GTs for BF2

[wild bramble]

I want an ai sticker of ghost from mw but legally you cant call him ghost so you just name him mist or flatulence. I'd pay one gazillion dollars for that Dice

[trail nova]

we were a desert combat trick jump squad in BF1942 though, true OGs

[amber belfry]

wi need this

[trail nova]

played BF2 beta and all that. blackhawks were so OP in the beta you just fly around capping everything without landing, engis could rep mid-flight and pilot spam flares lmao

[wild bramble]

Woah you cant just leak season 2 skins in this chat

[modest dome]

i love ppl complain that theres alot of campers in bf6, as if they never experience bf1

[wild bramble]

As if people don't use the bad shading systems and bloom effect to camp in corners more effectively than bf1

[trail nova]

the bigger the maps get the more people camp too. it's a BF staple. people been camping since dawn of time

[amber belfry]

god launch bf5. you could NOT see soldiers laying down

[wild bramble]

That was the most disappointing launch. I really enjoyed the beta then the launch was just fucked

[trail nova]

im watching YT footage of bad company 2 port valdez right now and game holds up so good, holy

[wild bramble]

Bad company 2 and one is probably the only bf campaigns I've fully enjoyed

Not throwing shade to bf1 cause war stories were pretty good

[amber belfry]

bf4s campain was slop but killing the annoying ass character at the end for the p90 was worth it

[wild bramble]

You get me. Bf3 campaign was decent tho

[trail nova]

not gonna lie i never tried the campaigns at all

i never played for that. bf1942 and bf2 didnt have one, so i didnt care for them

however there is an obscure console game called battlefield 2: modern combat and i DID play it's campaign

[wild bramble]

Wasn't that like a Playstation port or psp

[trail nova]

yeah ps1 or ps2 cant remember. it wasnt a port, it was it's own thing

[amber belfry]

for sure not ps1

[wild bramble]

Oh damn never knew that. I always assumed it was a port

[trail nova]

yeah grab an emulator and play it, fun times

[amber belfry]

is it me or is the m433 just kinda shit

[trail nova]

dunno im pw5'ing. all the weekly challenges came up engineer for me, perfect

[quick wolf]

new weekly challenges up

[tropic horizon]

its alright, good ttk, but rather spready

[trail nova]

bonus pass finished in 1 round, all content complete, back to waiting for s2

[modest dome]

i disagree with your damn name @hallow geode

[hallow geode]

I disagree with your disagreement.

[modest dome]

naval battle in early stages of bf6 is not recommended rn, its just not

[hard mortar]

I agree with the sentiment shared in your discord username.

[hallow geode]

I value your opinion.

[crude sundial]

when is s2 suppsoed to be dropping?

[hallow geode]

17th

[amber belfry]

i thought it was the 27th, then i realized its feb

[neat reef]

Season 2 trailer should drop next week

[sage wigeon]

not if they delay it

[amber belfry]

id rather they delay than slopify it

[sage wigeon]

use that claude and make some skins 🐱

[hallow geode]

My dad works at fortnite. It won't be delayed. I promise

[amber belfry]

nah nah we are professionals. claude is for the spaghetti code we use nano banana pro for our skins

[sage wigeon]

i was expecting sora but that works

[hot shoal]

I mean i dont like naval at all, but it dont mean i dont want more varied content. They got 2 separate locations technically where boats could of been used

Either way bf4 had naval combat at launch, so should this game anyways

[modest dome]

but not rn, its too early

[hot shoal]

Wym its too early, more like its too late

It should be here rn

[modest dome]

look at bf4, how many months did they add paracel storm

[hot shoal]

Its not about the dlc where they added more water maps, its the point where water content was literally in the game day one

You had access to jetskis and boats day 1

[harsh jay]

Wasn't paracel storm launch map? Dlc was different

[sage wigeon]

naval could be fun if the let us drive a big boat around

[modest dome]

if they gonna add it, it should be in summer

[harsh jay]

I think 3 BF4 launch maps had naval

[neat reef]

S3

[modest dome]

what they need to add is the f35 and eurofighter

[hot shoal]

I just checked, was 4 actually

Siege of Shanghai

Paracel Storm

Lancang Dam

Hainan Resort

All day 1 bf4, all had boat content on it

[stable sundial]

okay im back on bf6 for the next 3 days until cod ranked comes out, whats the new updates for bf6?

is there any good changes? i havent played since the 2nd week of redsec so im washed rn

[trail nova]

just a shitty bonus battle pass i just spent last week grinding now im done and waiting for season 2

[humble trench]

Eastwood lighting fixes for those who had problems with that map, so u can filter it back in

[stable sundial]

on thursday it will have ranked yes

[modest dome]

i can smell a cod tryharder here

[stable sundial]

i smell him too, it might be you👀

[sage wigeon]

i thought COD ranked was tier 1 or smth

[modest dome]

i dont even play cod, its quite dead by normal ppl sadly

[stable sundial]

nah nah thats thursday this Thursday, im just taking a short break on bf6 for now i kinda miss this game

[stable sundial]

i see a handful of new players alot more actually😭 i usually run into those “why do you still play cod” type of guys. their super weird

im not sure why i cant just play a game i fw without being judged. plus if it were really as dead as people make it seem, i wouldnt be able to find a game like at all😭

[modest dome]

idk about that but ik 1 thing for sure, cod lost its identity

[trail nova]

no one i know ever mentions cod, havent for years

[rugged mango]

How is the game rn (I’m at work)

[hot shoal]

Cause its black ops 7, of course there gonna judge you lol

[stable sundial]

i mean from a casual standpoint i see why. im not really on that side anymore

[modest dome]

both bo6 and bo7 are ai slops

[sage wigeon]

MW1 remake was ok... then it started going nuts with the weird skins

[harsh jay]

Forgot Shanghai had boats

[stable sundial]

no and i completely understand dont worry, but i dont let people like that make me quit a game i think is fun yk?

[hot shoal]

If i wanna play cod, i just play on a modded client with all the classic maps on it for multi. Its the best way anyways lol

[modest dome]

cod lost its identity since cod cw

[stable sundial]

nah id say mw2 2022

[sage wigeon]

i miss WAW

[modest dome]

i think cw cuz its where patheic skins and a useless story mode begins

[stable sundial]

honestly i been playing so much competitive over these past years ive never understood how casual gamers felt about the game, but now that the problems casuals were having carried over to ranked, i see why people hate on it

[hot shoal]

cod mw 2019 was a true return to form, and then they messed it up all over again. Its quite sad

[stable sundial]

i mean u dont have to buy the skins lol, its just a cosmetic. i usually dont pay attention to those cs idc about it

[harsh jay]

For me it lost shortly after releasing Warzone in 2020 and started selling skins like it's Fortnite

[modest dome]

cw saw the rainbow skin explosion

[twin horizon]

yea it was then cold war ruined it with these crazy mastercrafts and goofy skins

[stable sundial]

okay back to the real topic, whats the new shit added to bf6 im late to the party😂

[sage wigeon]

i wonder if EA will try to meme april fools like R6

[stable sundial]

im tryna play bf6 for the next like 2-3 days until ranked

[modest dome]

dp12 is a very shitty shotgun rn

[stable sundial]

im not gay i dont use shotguns

[modest dome]

it can never 1 shot a guy

[twin horizon]

cod brain mentallity

[sage wigeon]

sir may i introduce you to our lord and savior the M1014 with slugs

[stable sundial]

this sounds promising i might be gay

[modest dome]

as in close range, it can only do 80 dmg and thats it

it wil never do 100 or 1 hit kill

[stable sundial]

nah but all seriousness i just never seem to use shotguns idk why, i like running around like a kid on addy and using all the movement as much as possible and reviving my team fr

[twin horizon]

they gotta make it like the one from bf4

[abstract nexus]

Lmaooo

[stable sundial]

i usually use smgs in bf6 im not sure if they are good still, are they?

[sage wigeon]

also DICE plz frag rounds for shotguns

[twin horizon]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO]

[modest dome]

ye but no

[abstract nexus]

Easiest to use for sure and most are good

[modest dome]

well little bird is coming in season 2

[twin horizon]

gtfo with frag rounds wtf is actually wrong with you

[sage wigeon]

you know you want it... dont deny that little demon speaking to you

[stable sundial]

im only gonna be playing for 3 days and im uninstalling brother😭 idk what little bird is

[twin horizon]

as a battle pick up yea just like bf4

[modest dome]

why unistalling it tho?

[sage wigeon]

you know you want that AA12 with frag shells 🤘

[stable sundial]

cs i dont feel like id be playing the game once ranked cod comes out. i really love bf6 with all my heart but i stopped playing when bo7 came out. i wanna play both at the same time but i don’t feel like i have enough time for both games, especially with school :((

[sage wigeon]

there was a time they tried ranked in BF but it died lmao

[weary cove]

copies cod
cod is dying
why is the game dying?
devsuprised.pdf

[modest dome]

sad but its your choice and theres also nothing new, except glock 22 and 357 magnum and the dp12

[weary cove]

Just stop playing both

[sage wigeon]

i mean im excited to see what 10C is cooking with their COD clone... knowing how hard they drill their staff it could turnout quite good

[stable sundial]

bf is too casual for ranked i feel like. the game is made up of a bunch of people who look at the ground 24/7, bot walk and say everyone better than them is cheating

[stable sundial]

ur really insufferable 😭 i like both games and i want to try to play both but ion be having no time

[stable sundial]

hella sad, i just wanna be free and graduate

[modest dome]

college?

[sage wigeon]

tbh i did enjoy the ground war in MW1... it was a hella good time

[stable sundial]

im 17 years of age my brotha

[weary cove]

I mean, I called it from day 1.

[stable sundial]

ground war is in bo7 but its called skirmish. feels hella refreshing when u just wanna wind down. one of the only game modes i dont gotta sweat my ass off in so i just be chillin fr

[weary cove]

#battlefield-6 message

the community was still in cope mode. I knew the game was pigslop from the moment I touched it

And I called it literally on launch. Ofc, the average gamer’s IQ is 45 so they only realized when the YouTube slop told them it was bad

[sage wigeon]

im not sure how i feel about BO7... my 40 year old fingers can do all that fancy jump shit anymore

[tribal zodiac]

That or anyone thats a high level is unemployed lol

[stable sundial]

LOL, i enjoyed the pre season. once season 1 came out ts was over i started to dislike it ngl and went straight back to cod. idk whats wrong w the game now

[weary cove]

The fact is, only logical people understand why the game failed

[tribal zodiac]

I get to hear about it every game

[neat reef]

BF6 will go down once GTA6 is out

[harsh jay]

Small modes aren't really BF like conquest is and ranked with 64 players just seem stupid imo

[weary cove]

Cod is a failing game.

They copied cod.

So the game failed.

[trail nova]

how is bf6 failing again?

[weary cove]

Bait

[sage wigeon]

depends... maybe someone will make a GTA6 in portal 🤣

[trail nova]

been playing since beta, pretty good gunplay, best in a while. s1 content was good, now waiting for season 2. problem?

[stable sundial]

when smb is good at a game doesnt mean they are unemployed btw. im hella good at fps games and so is my dad(36) and has hit high ranks in almost every fps game hes played and hes employed… thats not an excuse thats just u trying to cope. i fuck w it tho dw

[weary cove]

“Best in a while”

[trail nova]

yup

[stable sundial]

i dont think bf6 is failing CRAZY bad but isnt it only charting on pc? correct me if im wrong but was battlefield always a pc game? or am i slow

[trail nova]

so how has it failed? are you reading too much reddit or something?

[weak fiber]

Crazy how incompetent the dev team has become that they can’t even fix an ai sticker

[weary cove]

Because I look at the player charts

[stable sundial]

LMFAO

[trail nova]

yup always was a PC game

[stable sundial]

no wonder its only charting on pc, makes sense now thank you

[tribal zodiac]

You mean people have attention span problems when it comes to franchised games?

[trail nova]

i dont, but i'd expect you'd see a dip as we're in a lull before season 2. is that failure to you?

[weary cove]

Bf6 is single handedly being carried by battledads. They basically just need a shooter to play after they get home from their construction job or steel mill job.

[stable sundial]

funniest shit ive heard all day😭😭😭

[weary cove]

Typa players who will own the last gen console for 15 years

[weak fiber]

They must be working on the game with their eyes closed and drooling all over the ai prompts they are trying to generate for the game

[tribal zodiac]

How many of the top 20 games on steam are franchised games on a sub 5 year release schedule

[weary cove]

That’s actually what is happening

[trail nova]

no response. guess you're a memer after all. oh well, enjoy your line charts

[weary cove]

Like no joke. They’re literally sitting on their butts asking AI to do their job

[weak fiber]

Genuinely not surprised at this point

[tribal zodiac]

"The intended audience is playing the game and this is a bad thing"

[trail nova]

lol oh no they made a video game for me specifically to enjoy, whatever shall i do?

[harsh jay]

BF6 still has decent playerbase. But I am surprised it fell below Delta Force

[trail nova]

zoomers have the finals and marvel rivals, go be annoying in those

[weary cove]

But they don’t understand that…AI doesn’t know what makes a game good yet.

Good art doesn’t make a game great. Games aren’t like music where it’s literally a patterned product with known working formulas.

[stable sundial]

wait i thought u guys were complaining about REAL problems on the game? yall are worried about an ai sticker?😂😂 nah bro u shitcans never fail to amaze me

[modest dome]

in cw, they did dirty with jason hudson

[stable sundial]

nah they did exactly what they were supposed to. the things he did? bro was a maniac

[trail nova]

i been glancing at this chat on and off on my 2nd screen for a couple hours and half a dozen people have come in here complaining about some AI sticker. it's so funny

[weary cove]

A good game is an entire whole. In fact for many of the GOATS, bo2, bf1, bf4, r6, these games aren’t just “brooo that game was goated because of THIS 1 THING”

These games are goated from a whole host of elements.

[modest dome]

i really hope it was non canon

[weary cove]

Devs don’t understand that, and that’s partially the problem with abstraction in game development

[trail nova]

r6s is probably one of the greatest shooters i've ever played. holy fuck what a game

[modest dome]

DF is a free game tho, ofc it has better player population

[stable sundial]

thought they were hating on people being better than them, or bugs, a fucking sticker?😂😂😂😂 gotta be shit at the game holy fuck. never seen anyone complain about shit like this unless they were ass

[weary cove]

They hire devs to handle the minutia. Steve handles art. Gabe handles game engine, Billy handles game assets.

But who’s watching over the whole game as it coalesces together?

odds are, it’s only 1 or 2, really untalented shill devs.

[stable sundial]

hell yea and the community is cool asf i fw them heavy. got taught how to play the game and a month later im a Plat 1.4kd😭 i be frying bro and this is my first season

[weary cove]

abstraction makes games easy to dev, but if the head dev is an idiot, or just a shill for paycheck from suits, it’s gg,

[stable sundial]

is this about the ai sticker or what?🤣

[weak fiber]

Idk they want people to buy cosmetics with micro transactions, but they can’t even use their own skills and brainpower to make a single sticker themselves without ai or even fix their ai trash. How the fuck are they gonna steer the game in the right direction if they can’t even fix the tiniest shit no matter how unimportant that useless sticker is

[harsh jay]

Yea it's f2p but it's peak is nowhere near BF6. BF6 has players, they just don't play it anymore

[modest dome]

cuz we have jobs and other things to do

[hot shoal]

Well, average players fell off a cliff. With player retention being abysmal

[weary cove]

Bf6 is exhibit number 1.

Unlike OW2, which is a refined game destroyed by the suits pushing micro transactions, bf6 is systematically broken, from art, to music, to monetization, to the engine itself.

[trail nova]

repeat after me. waiting for season 2. my whole crew is. we're playing diff games until it drops.

[hot shoal]

Many wont accept this, and just say you are trolling. At this point, its just a losing battle lol

[trail nova]

we all have hundreds of hours. we dont have to login every day like it's a job for it to still be a fun game

[modest dome]

and also popularity, ppl focus on what famours streamers play, like arc raiders, quite sad

[weary cove]

the system head is responsible for systemic problems. whoever DICE has as the head dev of BF6 failed at their job. Period.

[humble trench]

84mb patch huh, massive download

[stable sundial]

yea delta force actually grew like crazy. but it’s mainly from sponsers like timthetatman,ninja etc etc. the game before was super niche and it was super weird seeing battlefield players hating on the game. it really shows that it was competition between the 2 games. 1 is slop and the other is an actual good game

[harsh jay]

Doubt that's the reason. Unless half million people took time off back then

[stable sundial]

thatll take 40 hrs on my pc hold on twin

[weary cove]

I mean it’s literally insane

[modest dome]

and also this

[humble trench]

i downloaded it in 1 second, but installing it takes a whole minute. unplayable game

[hot shoal]

I mean, one is far worse than the other. At least delta force is keeping its players

[stable sundial]

i mean arc raiders IS a pretty fun game im ngl😭

[neat reef]

I hate third person

[modest dome]

ye its fun but bf6 doesnt get that tons of streamers that plays bf6

[weary cove]

I mean one must wonder

“How did the head dev at DICE get his job?”

It’s a genuine question that stumps everyone.

It’s one thing to make a failing game. It’s alright bro. Nice try but it didn’t work.

It’s another thing to take a game that IS failing, and think that

“Well…if we do NOTHING, it will just start working.”

[stable sundial]

i was js joking w you bro it downloaded and installed in 4 seconds im good now

[trail nova]

arc raiders is mostly a PVE snoozefest with a shitty zoomer aesthetic

[humble trench]

me too, cept the unplayable bit

[stable sundial]

i mean not evb wants to play the game and thats perfectly fine yk? its good that you guys have a community at all tbh

[tired flower]

Great pfp btw

[harsh jay]

I never expected BF6 to retain 700k concurrent players on Steam it had at launch but thought it's gonna be like 100k for 1st year. It dropped more than I expected

[stable sundial]

i just run around like a kid on addy griefing people cs im a troll

[weak fiber]

Thanks champ, trying to keep it real Stronghold og in here

[modest dome]

i mean, we only see steam numbers, how about the EA app and epic games

[trail nova]

yea if you not PVEing you a troll with like a girl voice changer betraying people like its amongus all over again

[weary cove]

I mean…if I went to a tech company interview, and they asked me

“Let’s say your code had a consistent problem. How do you attempt to fix it?”

And I said

“Umm…I’ll just literally do nothing and try to run it again.”

They would never call back. Again, for a tech industry job, the head dev of DICE is quite incompetent, objectively.

[stable sundial]

not surprised, tbh. there were a handful amount of bugs when it came out(ik they are fixed) and a handful of players were cod players who just randomly decided to drop bf6 even tho it was a good game

[weary cove]

And he’s probably getting reamed by legal because his assets copied cod. I couldn’t imagine that hilarious email chain from the CEO to him asking why the game is copying cod assets💀

[harsh jay]

EA has some, it'd be funny if someone bought on Epic

[stable sundial]

no way this guy is still complaining in chat😂

[neat reef]

will BF6 peak when S2 released? They need to share the roadmap for S3 too

[stable sundial]

fuck no 😂

[trail nova]

it's like he's using the chat to write unhinged blog posts about dice employees 😂

[modest dome]

there is

[weary cove]

They did change that ghost mask asset

[stable sundial]

bro hes a D1 reddit user i can tell by the way he spaces his sentence like a paragraph

[trail nova]

so cringe

[weary cove]

Reddit didn’t call bo6 DOA

[stable sundial]

shits ridiculous 😭😭

[weary cove]

Called it day 1, and I was vindicated.

It takes a higher IQ to recognize a game is going to barrel from the sky from day 1.

[hallow geode]

There will be a peak. Just maybe not the one you're expecting

[weary cove]

Especially when everyone is hyping it up as the “cod killer”

[hallow geode]

A mountain peak

[weary cove]

It’s not bitching

[trail nova]

lol most people ignoring him he just talking to the air like

smh

[stable sundial]

never was a cod killer it never will be, thats why its only peaking on PC bc its a PC game😭😭 shits ridiculous

[weary cove]

I didn’t say I didn’t like the stickers or the fact they used AI. I’m just pointing out the fact that AI can only carry you so far.

[stable sundial]

i didnt say you bro, the other guy

[weary cove]

You seem pressed about just nonchalant observations.

Like if your teacher pointed out you misspelled a word you’d crash out 💀 relax bro

[stable sundial]

i never said anything about YOU bitching. i said the OTHER guy. he couldnt say anything “bad” about the game so he made a comment about an AI calling card just like every other shitcan who sucks at this game bro😭😭

[trail nova]

nonchalant? lil bro you need to go back to your line charts and reddit upvotes like im kinda embarassed for you

[weary cove]

At the end of the day, it’s not my job on the line.

The head dev of dice will be fired if the company sees he doesn’t pull in profits. The money talks infinitely more than any YouTuber.

That’s just how industries work

[hot shoal]

It could of been, just people at dice literally dont know what there doing sadly. Which of course they dont cause everyone from bf3/bf4 is gone

[stable sundial]

couldve been, never will be 😭 how do i tell u my guy

console shitters on bf6 couldnt hang with pc players so they turned crossplay off or just didnt play the game again. its that simple

[neat reef]

no other FPS better than BF6 at this moment, COD sucks

[trail nova]

why are you interested in the careers of people you dont know in foreign companies that have nothing to do with you?

[weary cove]

Because I find it interesting?

Kinda like how American historians do history of other countries?

Oh no…I’m interested in another person…oh noooo.

[trail nova]

oh okay so you're a DICE historian covering things from 2 months ago. makes sense

[stable sundial]

LMFAOOOO

[weary cove]

You got me bro! I’m interested in another person!

Totally owned!

[stable sundial]

alr its time for a name change

[cedar jungle]

Why do the seasonal unlocks need to redche ked like they are new? I e done all of them and this isn’t the first time it’s showed them as new.

[trail nova]

to trigger OCD every time i open the game apparently conquest is new

[cedar jungle]

lol

[stable sundial]

thats one hell of a steak on ur pfp unc

[cedar jungle]

Well if that’s the case …..it worked

[trail nova]

maybe i should change my pfp, its just like, my actual face

[cedar jungle]

It’s not steak it’s tritip

[stable sundial]

ohh, my bad im faded

[cedar jungle]

One of the best cuts of beef out there, if it’s cooked,grilled, correctly

[fleet tapir]

Do we get weapon exp if we're doing objective related things while holding it or is it just kills?

[limpid ermine]

What is this update!? first server I join RPG launch them self, no aim animation what so ever, bullets do not hit point blank. It feels like there was no QA

[hot shoal]

Ngl having cod name in a bf server, it was bound to go down like this

[limpid ermine]

Goes to toilet for a quick pee gets kicked out of the server.... EA what have you done today

[hot shoal]

You arent playing, so dont take up server space

[limpid ermine]

I guess.... this update seems extremely terrible imo.

[vale quiver]

i have every mission and challenge complete.... and like im gonna be honest these "free gifts" and these daily logins are not going to keep me playing anymore it just feels like i have nothing to do now so im not much interested in just grinding kills as i was i guess you should do something about incentives

[delicate kiln]

Fun? Playing for fun. Wild thought

[vale quiver]

wild thought (fun to me is progression not mindless point clicking)

[delicate kiln]

It’s mindless point clicking either way if you really think about it

[vale quiver]

ok well if you really think about it we are made up of bacteria and are mostly influinced by our gut microbiome so i mean where are we going with this?

we can reduce forever your just being combative

[delicate kiln]

Idk, where were YOU going with it? Just take a break.

[vale quiver]

i was going where i went i said what i wanted and you interjected now here we are?

[empty topaz]

ya'll are weird

[vale quiver]

its been said before and im sure its in the pipe for later aswell 🤷‍♀️

[harsh jay]

If you're just playing to check boxes by completing challenges instead of playing for gameplay you're waisting your time

[severe flame]

Show us your cut then

[vale quiver]

im 40 years old i have been gaming for atleast 36 of thoes years i have forgotten more games than you have played im sure its all for not really

[stable sundial]

wym?

[rich torrent]

This has been the case since launch, as it should.

[vale quiver]

lol yeah timeout fast af

[severe flame]

You said you're faded

[stable sundial]

i be making so many battledads mad w the name. i had to change it to something else😭

[stable sundial]

yea as in im slow asf bro😭 u never heard anyone say “im faded” as in they are high?

[severe flame]

Nope lol

[stable sundial]

ur definitely a european i can tell

[vale quiver]

like thats a bad thing

[severe flame]

🇸🇪 🇵🇪

[stable sundial]

i didnt mean it in such way, wtv floats ur boat tho old man

[stable sundial]

oh ur cracked at csgo i can tell for sure by the flags

[severe flame]

Nope lol I play mostly simulator games

[stable sundial]

DAMN IT

[vale quiver]

like what

[stable sundial]

i thought bro was naturally cracked at csgo like the other europeans i meet

idk how they are so good its genuinely insane

[harsh jay]

Russian voice chat does that kappa

[stable sundial]

old man always confused holy shit😭

[vale quiver]

im confused cuz i asked a person what games they played when they said they play sim games? just like a kid these days illiterate

[solar lava]

Does anyone happen to have a clean (ideally extracted) version of the Bf6 headshot sound?

Man this shop update is doodoo wheres my iron claw bundle

I like the Thanksgiving bundle but im gonna skip it anyway cause I have gyatt to save my bfc for season 2 drip cause its probably splendiferous

Red p90 would also be epic but i think that came out for singles day so it'll probably rerun on valentines

Grrrr I hate rotating shops its like they dont want my money

[outer lynx]

"Complete a match in any game mode" Does NOT count for community games.

[tame nest]

I won't say it, because I'm tired to count the day

But I can say 146 days without jet loadouts

[brazen jasper]

Hi all, is the free gift claimed today showing in people's inventories? Some people saying it's not showing in their decal section

[valid roost]

Wouldnt even matter if they had loadouts. Vehicle play is so shallow in this game that every vehicle would play the same with set loadouts.

[abstract nexus]

I dont have it now that ive checked

[brazen jasper]

That's 4 people saying the same thing, think we found a bug

I'll advise the folks in the unlocks discord not to claim for the time being

Anyone else able to confirm same issue?

[tame nest]

@valid roost well at least if they have Loadout I can use difference strategy for different game

I mean attack Eli maybe is the only fun thing to play if there is no tow missile in base

Jets are funny if not for the constant soflam and stinger lock and stinger with infinite vertical range.

[valid roost]

What strategy? you have AT and AA options already. You get a slightly different flavor, but end up doing the same things in a game. Same as every other vehicle with options

[tame nest]

Well in the tank If I want to capture flag and kill a lot I will not take tow, If I wanna go c mode I just use tow and stay in base so no one can fly.

In the Eli I always use Zuni except for maybe Manhattan and I have different option to counter stinger of help my gunner, gunner need to some loadouts such as TV missile

The only vehicle that is just annoying is the AA and I don't know how is possible but I encounter people with lvl 50 AA

[valid roost]

Why are you typing with a british accent lol

[tame nest]

Eh? British Accent?

[valid roost]

Eli lol

[tame nest]

Ah because I'm Italian so in Italian is called Elicottero.

[tropic horizon]

(bot farms)

[tame nest]

Also I called it Eli and not chopper because chopper is kinda weird for me.

In Italy we study British English not American or other dialects.

[valid roost]

Get in me eli guvnor 😄

Just kidding lol

[tame nest]

Yeah don't worry, PIZZA E MANDOLINO FOR EVER

[worldly rune]

We are also learning britisch englisch

But in Switzerland

[dawn aurora]

Aperture….

[tame nest]

Yeah every EU country learn that English because the other derivation are....well derivation, is like pretend to study Italian and learn Sicilian that is a type of Italian but with a lot of influence( more then Italian).

[worldly rune]

Can you speak italian @tame nest

[tame nest]

Se vuoi

[worldly rune]

Bello lo parlo anche io

[hot shoal]

"Well in the tank" Your first mistake, just take the ifv lol

[brazen jasper]

Hey now none of that

[hot shoal]

Unimaginable agony trying to take flags like on manhattan bridge in a tank, just suffering

[tame nest]

@hot shoal I mean not take flag, camp behind the flag and farm the spawn ahahahahahahah

Or you get absolutely rekt because RPG are too strong

And there are still people who defends this Rpg that are so OP

[hot shoal]

Yeah pretty much how it goes, till more than 2 people push with you lol

[crimson garden]

Penguin approves nice new weekly challenges ✅ Fortunately re-rolls worked for removing Gauntlet and BR 😃

[green meteor]

What's the best shotgun for the Season 1 Hardware challenge 5?

[crude wedge]

Has there been any acknowledgement about the ADS stuck bug? I just played two games and it was awful.

[crimson garden]

Penguin recommend M87A1 above any shotgun, especially because it has higher % chance of 1 hit kills

[stone timber]

woah, asus announced a good gaming headset? And it's not even april fools

[sage wigeon]

why dou just get a solid pair of IEMs and any $20 DAC u get same audio 😄

[candid oxide]

How and why do people like the KTS? It's awful

[stone timber]

IEMs are great, but they can also be fatiquing for a lot of people, and they bypass your pinna, making them a very different experience than headphones. And also, headphones are just more comfortable, and easier to wear if you're voice chatting

But the price for performance of IEMs is unbeatable

[crimson garden]

KTS is useful as anti camping tool for long range encounters. Otherwise its TTK is still the slowest of all LMGs according to Penguin. KTS precision is probably the reason 🎯

Penguin question: since the recent update did anyone else experience having smaller weapon icons for some weapons in the weapon selection menu? Example posted at #screenshots-and-clips

[stone timber]

Anyway, ASUS have made a headset colab with Hifiman, who make excellent planar magnetic headphones

[crimson plover]

how to revive ps5

[stone timber]

that depends on what's wrong with it

[candid oxide]

imo, not worth the gimmick. Better guns and things for anti-camping. It has 0 dueling potential in return. This one will be a pain to get to 50

[past jasper]

its a laser beam, it has synthetic rounds what more can you want

while i would like it to have the unrestricted semi auto back in beta

it is by no means awful lol, its one of the best lmgs

#screenshots-and-clips message
see: my kts

[candid oxide]

Synthetic is a saving grace i'll give you that. Still though, without headshots it loses to practically everything

[past jasper]

• that assumes both sides hits all their shots, which kts have a much easier time to

• and since kts have no recoil it is much easier to consistently hit headshots

• play kts at medium to long range where you can always just repeek a different time

• kts should have 2.1x synthetic multiplier

[fiery oxide]

Wouldn't that make it 3 tap

[scarlet epoch]

The username lmfaoooooo. Facts though

[past jasper]

yes, wasnt a problem in beta though

[fiery oxide]

Didn't even see anyone use it in the beta

[past jasper]

currently its 3c until the furthest range where then i think it becomes 3c1b, it was 2c1b in medium range and 3c in long range which gives it a bit more forgiveness

also it could 2c in close ragne which was rather funny

[crimson garden]

Penguin don't use KTS 100 in CQB, but it can perform very well from late medium to long range/longer distances in lots of BF6 action 😃 Another fun and often underestimated use of KTS 100 👉 if you start spraying bullets on a heli with it = cool amount of damage just from one LMG clip 😎

[modest jackal]

I mean, if it's a more Enclosed and Aggressive Match with an LMG, I use the M240L if I still want high damage.

[past jasper]

id just use a smg or ar

[sage wigeon]

sir may I introduce you to our lord and savior the M1014 slugs

[humble trench]

laserpointers are off on that thing tho - a tad distracting having a 2nd dot off center lol

[marble stag]

@empty topaz Eh tried again today. Frametime is still slightly better, but trades are still wonky. I'll get 6 hitmarkers on someone and they still win the trade and the hits seem to hit me in a millisecond or two.

If anything it's a bit better when i'm shooting people at a distance, but still meh. Thanks for the help though

[trim mist]

will battlepass XP boosters carry over to the next season?

[marble stag]

The only thing not consistently fucking me over is snipers since i can just headshot for instant kills so i'll just stick with that. Less frustrating.

[tawny pebble]

Untill the netcode decides that the bullets just gonna go through their heads like it's not there

[valid roost]

Yes, they should

Honestly the automatic spotting/3d spotting or however you want to call it just needs to go.

The amount of kills i get on people i can't even see by just shooting under a dorito is hilarious lol

[fiery oxide]

Well more people need to use flash hider or suppressor

[teal aspen]

Idk guys, spam rockets, or Shotgun/GL spam?

[tight barn]

hey my audio is fricked up? everyone else have missing sounds?

[fiery oxide]

Just you

[rigid basin]

Lf duo redsec ex wz player

[marble stag]

Foosteps are kinda wonky but that’s it

[drifting mantle]

I wish battle royal game modes would just cease to exist

[tight barn]

weird, i went into a game of conquest on blackwell and i was missing all sorts of sounds, went into firing range after and it was fine, weird bug

[hot shoal]

In this game, they might as well be stomping from 20ft every step they take. Nobody sneaks up on me while im in a vehicle

The audio could not be clearer

[vivid prism]

how tf do you do this challenge?

"Deal damage to aircraft while on foot"

I HAVE done damage to aircraft while on foot. I used the AA launcher and it didn't count??

[tropic horizon]

so now besides my audio device crashing entirely, now sometimes game audio disappears completely, and im only left with discord voice chat lol, well done with the patch

[vivid prism]

EA! EA! There's a game in my bug soup!

[dreamy shoal]

what changes has been done lately? I started to die a lot behind the walls ..

[fiery oxide]

None recently to hitreg

[marble stag]

None, it's been bad for a while.

[zealous raven]

All the bugs they fixed in this last update, literally no one was complaining or cared about

[elfin wraith]

OP METRO?

[zealous raven]

Right that would probably benefit you a lot!

[elfin wraith]

Less effort spent on them, fewer rerolls spent rerolling BR challenges

[rugged mango]

Well we’ve got another update coming out soon

[elfin wraith]

😎 👍

[noble sparrow]

I dunno what happened but I fucking suck at this game today lol. Can barely break 2/1

[zealous raven]

Much simpler fix: accept that challenges usually force you to do things you don’t usually do and things you don’t want to do if you’re playing purely for fun

[noble sparrow]

Need to stop sprinting into gunfights as much

[zealous raven]

Nice

[kind snow]

Lol wtf is that

[plush charm]

wow i was the first react to the announcement!
pregnant man emojie do your thang

[elfin wraith]

There's a difference between playing for a bf6 challenge and playing fortnite lol

[plush charm]

god that felt good

[grim tangle]

the AI sticker still remains because we at DICE dont have an visual artists

[frail gull]

Wow no more ai sticker

[placid narwhal]

IM SO SICK OF REDSEC

GLAZERS STOP ONLY SUPPORTING RED SEC

AGAHahahAHhhHahHhahah

[fading karma]

It’s definitely ai

[marble stag]

@empty topaz Great example. I'm going 14-1 in this game. Out of fucking nowhere shots just stop registering, i lose every single trade and kick down to 15-15.

If it wasn't so damn annoying it would be hilarious.

[noble sparrow]

No I know I’m kidding

[wild bramble]

Well no see they totally didnt release a slightly better version because its was probably redone or enhanced by another ai. Nooooo you see it was the same old sticker we didnt even try to fix it. But promise by February 17th its gonna be fixed

[silver skiff]

OH MY GOD ITS A STICKER WHY WOULD IT TAKE SO LONG LMAOOOOO

[marble stag]

I guess when the magic 10 minutes pass i get 10 times worse at the game.

[plush charm]

yes

[wild bramble]

Like all they need is to remove a barrel and a dust cover ffs

[silver skiff]

oh my god bro please let this end why are they like this

thank you for this amazing game but cmon devs

[marble stag]

Game isn't amazing, it's barely passable. The only reason people don't quit is because the core gameplay is still fun.

[spring oak]

Game is amazing

[marble stag]

Anything else but that is pushing a 6/10 lol

[silver skiff]

so the game is good?

[marble stag]

Barely passable isn't good, no.

It's good enough for not another 80% of the daily players to leave.

[oak summit]

lets just say its taken the devs 2 or more months to take out an AI calling card sticker

[sage wigeon]

its carebear mechanics for people who dont see shit

[silver skiff]

tbh man its exam season of course alot of players will leave

me included

[wild bramble]

But you see that sticker was obviously very essential to the spaghetti code

[marble stag]

Exam season is not the reason for players to permanently quit the game lol

[sage wigeon]

jsut burn your notes and eat the ashes bro...

[worn marten]

Messing up the date for something like this is pretty funny

[silver skiff]

who said anything about permanently whats stopping us from booting up the game every so often

[plush charm]

low quality discord hour
catch y'all later!

[zealous raven]

You’re right there’s definitely too much love for REDSEC on Discord and Reddit!

[marble stag]

Ask the 88% of daily players that left the game

[sage wigeon]

wait there is a quality discord hour?

[plush charm]

and by y'all i mean hopefully anyone else, literally anyone else

[worn marten]

[fiery oxide]

Clickbait slop

[keen kestrel]

I'm not a noob, i'm good with the heli and i shoot down heli with the rpg all the time, its just way too easy. If just 4 person in the game focus the heli there is no heli gameplay whatsoever. It wasn't as easy in the other games. Something should be done

[fiery oxide]

Don't worry next update is nuking the rpg into the ground with nerfs

[keen kestrel]

Is it confirmed?

[unkempt pawn]

Anyone notice the grammer error in the weekly challenge this week lol

[granite oyster]

They playing in are faces and I don’t stand for that period

[wise spire]

A comm for a colour change on a player card sticker? lol

[unkempt pawn]

"Kill enemies as as squad. Headshot Kills count double." lol the grammar is on point and why is this game forcing me to play with a squad for a challenge (I have no friends to play with and I like it that way)

[marble stag]

You can be in a squad when you're playing alone

[rich torrent]

You're always in a squad regardless, what does it matter?

[wild bramble]

Its really important. I mean they've only gotten it wrong twice but surely that extra 14 days will really help with fixing it (trust us)

[marble stag]

I swear to god at this point it just feels like whatever i'm seeing on my screen isn't even what's actually going on in the game.

[humble trench]

game feels the same after patch. still mouse microstuttering

[rich torrent]

They wouldn't need to fix it if they had used proper artists instead of Ai.

[wild bramble]

You dont say?

Like it shouldn't take two weeks to fix a sticker if they just had like one graphic designer

Just one. Hell if you have to outsource on do that then have the sticker come out like a day later fixed by a real human

[marble stag]

A comm that just said they give zero fucks about fixing it. The sticker is still busted and obviously AI generated. All they did was increase the contrast.

I can literally fix the issue it has with the barrel in under 10 seconds. There is zero reason they haven't fixed it yet except for not wanting to lose face on admitting it was AI generated.

Literally all there is to it, they don't want to lose face. It takes seconds to fix and put it in another patch.

[languid mural]

I self destructed a drone and my battlefield just crashed

[marble stag]

But knowing them it's probably spaghetti coded in such a way they can't even update the sticker visuals for all players.

[rich torrent]

That's exactly why I won't spend a cent in the store and why I reported the game to Steam, which they still haven't been given an Ai Content Tag.

[marble stag]

I'm not spending a cent until they fix the glaring issues with hit detection

Even if they fixed it, i'm not spending a cent on AI generated stickers

[humble trench]

EA: got ur 70 dollars jokes on you

[marble stag]

Doesn't matter, they need recurring revenue to keep the game up.

[humble trench]

no they dont, u keep spouting tha shit but ur living in some weird alternate universe

[marble stag]

You think keeping a game up is free?

[humble trench]

u think they made barely enough money to call it even?

[marble stag]

Conveniently forgetting about server hosting, maintenance, wages?

[rich torrent]

You think a company like EA is going to keep pumping money into something not making money?

Come on.

[marble stag]

The initial sell profit isn't going to keep them going forever lol

They need to generate revenue in a recurring manner

[rich torrent]

Not to mention the BP pays for itself so there goes a lot of profit.

[humble trench]

pumping? u sure u grasp the definiton of that word? how are yall so fckn blind lmao

[marble stag]

I don't know what to tell you, upkeep of a massive game costs massive amounts of money.

[rich torrent]

^

[marble stag]

If you think at some point they don't need more revenue than the initial sales, i don't know what to tell you.

[humble trench]

the patch quality has been so unbelieveably low, and the skins content is AI generated, they have SO few people working on the upkeep it costs them fuckall

[marble stag]

You're free to think that

[humble trench]

well i dont see any changes in todays patch, do u? it might as well be fabricated to keep people entertained with the idea the game is getting looked after

[marble stag]

If you think the art department is the only department, your argument makes a lot of sense.

[sage wigeon]

i mean the potential new owners did they they want to use more genAI so its not surprising

[humble trench]

i never said that, i literally just talked about 2 different departments and ur flipping it around Jay, srsly ur on one sometimes :p

[tropic horizon]

no its different, instead of my usb headset crashing completely, it now sometimes only loses the game audio completely

[marble stag]

You're looking at just under a thousand employees for the 4 studios under the name battlefield studios. If you think they are free, i don't know what to tell you.

[tropic horizon]

now i sometimes play completely deaf, 10/10 good patch

[marble stag]

Even if they made fuck all at 40k each that's 40 million a year in wages alone. And i can assure you the majority of them make over 40k.

[plush fox]

Redsec feels even more good now after update

[humble trench]

the MP part is barely getting changes? the most paid people are probably the mappers

[lucid depot]

It is ridiculous how powerful lthe silencers are in BF6, any other muzzles dont give you the kind of precision that they do.

[rich torrent]

They still get paid regardless of how big the update is. 💀

[plush fox]

They need to add a combat record and stats for redsec in the game

[humble trench]

whos they? all 1000 employees? sure they get paid, to work on the next game

[rich torrent]

It's not like their getting paid based on what they did in a fortnight.

[marble stag]

FYI in Q1 2026 EA returned about 425 million dollars in buybacks and dividends to their shareholders. So at least 425 million of their incoming revenue isn't going to development. Just to give you a rough estimate.

If you think the initial sales are going to support the game on their own for a long time, you're delusional. Live service games need to make money.

[humble trench]

u guys are smoking some real primo shit if u think an entire dev team (multiple in this case) will all be working on a fully released game. especially since the evidence is right there that A) the patch frequency blows and B) the quality of patches is barely worth talking about and C) the content drip is quite slow.

[marble stag]

Could just be an executive decision.

[humble trench]

its like u were born yesterday Jay, its quite impressive. feel free to explain why every single dev/publisher that created and released game before the mtx era survived

[marble stag]

I don't know what else to tell you. Keeping up a live action game is not free.

[humble trench]

based on your reasoning they couldnt have survived on game sales alone, since you keep hammering on about post launch income so heavily

[rich torrent]

Hence why season passes existed.

[marble stag]

If you think it works that way, feel free to think that way. I don't mind it.

[humble trench]

m8 are u 12? season passes are a relatively new thing in gaming lmao

[rich torrent]

No they aren't. 💀

[humble trench]

again, ur age is showing, and so is mine :)

[elfin wraith]

Why do ppl hate on the QBZ so much?

[marble stag]

What is relatively new to you?

I don't think 15 years is "relatively new"

[plush fox]

So season 2 we only getting 1 new map on launch

[humble trench]

considering videogames have started in the 70's 80's, id say something that was created ~15 years ago is relatively recent, keyword relatively. so again explain to me how videogames between the 70's and 2005-2010 survived on game sales alone. even toda there are games that do not have post launch paid content. apparently they cant exist according to your reasoning

[marble stag]

... right. Because comparing the past 15 years to the 70's 80's makes.. sense.

[tropic horizon]

its less than 15, and became popular probably around 10 years ago
it just depends on your point of view, but games existed on sales alone way before that with servers being live for many many years

[humble trench]

what are u even on about? lmao

[sage wigeon]

Video games in the 70s and 80s are relatively small by comparison and team sizes are not even nearly as large.

[humble trench]

its just a diff in scale, it changes nothing

[tropic horizon]

he just gave that era as example of how old gaming is, not that you should compare strictly to that time, lol

[rich torrent]

Did games in the 70s and 80s even have online?

[humble trench]

.................. ok

[marble stag]

Less than a handful of them, very primitive.

[humble trench]

talking to a wall of teenagers, ima go make some food u guys have a good one :P

[rich torrent]

So no server costs, got it.

[tropic horizon]

he literally gave it as a timeline reference on how long games exist, and you think he used that time as example of online games, jesus

[marble stag]

70's and 80's are irrelevant to compare to online games

[humble trench]

games cant exist without post launch content -Jay

[tropic horizon]

its literally just about how long games existed lmao

[rich torrent]

And when you remove the costs of things after launch, you don't need to make money.

[tropic horizon]

you twisting arguments and exagerrating everything is also irrelevant

[rich torrent]

Older games didn't have online then you don't need to pay for server costs.

Current gaming comes with a lot of additional costs unlike back then.

[tropic horizon]

that is absolutely false, and not at all what was said, games existed with online servers on just sales cost for a long long time

[glacial crown]

cant reconnect to BR ... when i have 5 wins a row always 4-5 game loading bug or helicopter bug... f.,

[drifting mantle]

Correct, games cant exist without post launch updates/content. However, its the difference of free or if it will cost money.

Look at how long Minecraft has lasted with free updates. Yes with Bedrock edition they have micro trasnsatctions. But, Java is still the best and most alive version of Minecraft

[marble stag]

Adjusted for inflation, pac-man cost an estimated 1.2 million dollars to make.

[vale quiver]

looks at wall of games from childhood

[rich torrent]

Games haven't always had online and he used 70s and 80s as examples so we'll stick with 70s and 80s.

[marble stag]

Not in the 70's and 80's

[rich torrent]

Compared to GTA6 at what, 2 billion now or something?

[humble trench]

even if u do add online, back in 2000 ISP's and privateers hosted servers, it didnt cost the devs shit post launch in the multiplayer FPS genre

[vale quiver]

i dont understand what the point is we have had games for as long as we have had thumbs SO all that has changed over time is the medium we play them with

[marble stag]

I think it was like 340 million in 2013?

[humble trench]

again some of u are showing ur age :P

[drifting mantle]

So are you saying that you wouldn't go back and play Mario 64 on the Nintendo 64 because it has no post launch content

[tropic horizon]

are you both okay in the head?
3 times explained that this example was given as reference for age of gaming, to show how 15 years is relatively not that old
not as example of online games in that age, jesus christ, how can you still fail to understand this

[humble trench]

someones awake at least Vlad :P

[drifting mantle]

Or that you cant play endlees hours on GTA SA because there is no post launch content

[vale quiver]

uh You cant

[tropic horizon]

does arguing this way twisting everything work for you usually? that is very sad

[drifting mantle]

Gaming and work are two seperate things

[rich torrent]

He literally asked how games in the 70s survived without post launch content.

Which then goes into not needing to pay for servers.

Can you read?

[tropic horizon]

no he didnt lol
can you read?

[rich torrent]

ahem

[humble trench]

ur blending a bunch of sentences together in 1

[vale quiver]

yeah i mean the shift was Ownership We dont own games anymore we "lease" them and that can be revoked these day unlike back in the day they couldent come in your house and take you disk

[tropic horizon]

AHEM again, literally reference to how old gaming is, not that games in 70-80's were online games with server upkeep

[marble stag]

"so again explain to me how videogames between the 70's and 2005-2010 survived on game sales alone. even toda there are games that do not have post launch paid content. apparently they cant exist according to your reasoning"

[rich torrent]

"So again explain to me how video games between the 70s and 2005-2010 survived on game sales alone".

Damn, he mentioned the 70s in that question.

[marble stag]

Literally says it right there.

[vale quiver]

well a game selling 2 million copies in 1995 is like a game selling 100million now

[tropic horizon]

where does this say online games in 70's, he literally refers to age of gaming, from when games came to exist, to the time that MTX became popular

[rich torrent]

He literally asked how they survived in the 70s broski.

[humble trench]

lemme clear it up. theres the era of non internet videogames, they existed perfectly fine without post launch content. theres the early internet era of online games that existed perfectly fine without post launch content (servers were hosted by major ISP's and privateers, only a master server needed to run that literally tells the game how to connect to servers) and then theres now. the current era of videogames where big publishers intentionally nail shut the ecosystem and take control away from the player, they host the servers and that also means its closed shut from modding and anything else in order to further mtx sales to wales. different eras. games existed perfectly fine WITHOUT posts launch content for MORE years than the current 'mtx era' of videogames.

[tropic horizon]

my god, i know you cant defend this argument of yours, since its just wrong, and many games did that, but picking at slightly poor phrasing that could be purposedly taken as literal example of online game, is just pathetic

[humble trench]

inb4 too long didnt read, in that case fuckoff lol

[marble stag]

Can't even give me a second to read?

[humble trench]

i can read ur mind im getting ahead of it

[marble stag]

Right, i'm sure it's us showing our age.

[vale quiver]

you seem like your just arguing

[drifting mantle]

Imma just go back to playing Pong and enjoy my Windows XP/Vista. I knew I kept those floppy disks for a reason

[vale quiver]

lots of attacks ya know

[rich torrent]

@tropic horizon It's pretty obvious what he asked and what era about.

[tropic horizon]

nah, its not the first time the guy does this, twists things, makes things up (gets caught and lies about it), non stop
just annoying

[simple kestrel]

hi

[marble stag]

It's not the first time you do it either.

[vale quiver]

welcome to highsch/ american society i dont know what to tell ya

[tropic horizon]

whats pretty obvious is failing to defend properly, and just picking on slightly poor phrasing

[marble stag]

(Also me just making stuff up now, since that seems to work for you)

[simple kestrel]

i like battlefield 6

[vale quiver]

i like turtles

[tropic horizon]

im not even talking about you

[drifting mantle]

I like trains

[simple kestrel]

those are very cool too

[marble stag]

I was about you

[rich torrent]

"Poor phrasing" or it could be that he asked what he wanted to ask lmfao.

[simple kestrel]

i dont know a lot about them

[marble stag]

Honestly, should've phrased it better then. You got a literal answer to a literal question. Not his fault it wasn't phrased correctly. Could have just rephrased the question like an adult instead of being an ass about it. But that's my two cents.

[tropic horizon]

yes, you pick literally the 70's as thats the only example where your argument works
he gave a period of time games were made, and there are more years in that period he provided, even if you take it as literal

[marble stag]

He literally said the 70's and 80's

[simple kestrel]

grown up man arguing in discord

thats me screeming at ya right now

[rich torrent]

Well yes, we're talking about atleast 20 years of his question - which again, is what HE ASKED.

[tropic horizon]

as example of time games were made
and then he provided time games were made with little to no mtx/ battle passes, which is upto 2010ish

[marble stag]

Apparantly so
