battlefield-6

[gusty sinew]

i have 3 ranks left until i am done with the pass and its a FULLY XP GRIND worst thing EVER

[hot glen]

good morning friends

[high garden]

It is indeed grueling

Op Augur

[gusty sinew]

useds all my 2xp as well so its just so bad

[opaque anvil]

My game started crashing last night for the first time ever. Crashed mid match and goes back to desktop

[round vector]

i think it can be related to new patch, cause BF6 worked fine yesterday, but today after i updated the game this happened

[opaque anvil]

yup i agree. Gotta be an ea issue

[velvet kayak]

I don’t really follow the BP (but pretty sure I saw was complete on one of my end of round screens the other night).

[signal crag]

Can you see it in the profile statistics?

Because I can't find

But I just know it's 32

[fiery oxide]

Dunno i can try checking

[velvet kayak]

I know I’ve capped 7,084 altogether but would have to check in game my best (think it’s around 30).

[fiery oxide]

Seems like captured is the only stat you can see for career best

not neutralized

[devout sedge]

Keep us in ONE lobby. I know it's not many people on right now but, one match I'm having fun because it's full with real players. Next match it's just me and one person on the enemy team and 30 bots lmbo

Im sitting at the main menu now quitting and rejoining trying to find a game that isnt almost over or bot filled

[velvet kayak]

Persistent servers are supposedly coming later this year

[devout sedge]

Need to come S3 ahahah.

I'm patient though. Got my S3 BP pre ordered 😅

[hazy summit]

what does pre ordering the BP Pro do?

[shadow rampart]

You get it slightly cheaper due to inflation

[tender cradle]

you get to waste your money

[hazy summit]

it might be a waste to you

[rich torrent]

Considering the BP both normal and pro are more expensive than the industry standard for the same content, it is yes.

[tender cradle]

it's objectively a waste. It's not like theyre going to run out, theyre selling some mild skins, it's just fomo.

[hazy summit]

is it literally skins for the new guns that are in the bp?

as in preorder bonus skins

[tender cradle]

not new guns, the old guns: L110

think you get some addition tier skips too, on top of the BP tier skips

[hazy summit]

ah right

i thought you wouldnt get the new sniper if you didnt pre order, if its just a skin you get they can piss off

[opaque anvil]

anyone having random crashed on pc....enable the IGPU in bios and it seems to have fixed it for me. Ridiculous i know......

[tender cradle]

no, those new guns will probably be either unlockable in the BP (similar to the VCR, M121A2, etc) or by challenges (CZ3A1)

[hazy summit]

sweet

[merry bolt]

that is wild.. enabling integrated graphics to fix crashing? lol

[shadow rampart]

Live Gecko reaction:

[autumn glade]

oh snap...they are bringing back sea maps?

and larger scale maps too

DO A NIGHT TIME LARGE SCALE MAP PLS!

[misty yew]

We are so back

Weather and day/night would be nice as well

[autumn glade]

i cant wait for the people that asked for bigger maps to complain LOL

[misty yew]

Canon event

[autumn glade]

oh the extra map they sneak peaked at the end.....it looks like night time. Please let it be so!

[merry bolt]

has anyone gotten more bots adding them from the battlefield discord? it's gotten pretty bad lately

[languid mural]

not really, I think its a pretty usual amount for a server this big (well about one per 3 weeks)

anyway did they do anything significant on the update? Im not really willing to hop on for a "bro the netcode feels better trust me" patch notes

[languid mural]

nvm I texted and got a bot add immediately lmao

[autumn glade]

thats just discord in general.....lol

[misty yew]

Had 2 just yesterday.

[misty yew]

I didn't notice it at all. In fact, last night it seemed worse

[languid mural]

yeah figurees

[shadow rampart]

Yeah last night I had some horrible hit reg

[languid mural]

Ive done the battlepass like 4 weeks ago and since then I just hopped on for like 3 matches 2 weeks ago when there were these 3 extra things to earn

[gentle zodiac]

Same. But I'm keeping up with the weekly challenges.

[languid mural]

cuz for me the moment I can tell the platform of the person who killed me based by just hitreg and stuff is kinda crazy so Im not even touching it any further

[olive coral]

I'm a little nervous that there won't be enough time to complete S3 BP with weeklies alone.

[languid mural]

theyll probably up the points no

[gentle zodiac]

I can usually tell by the amount of bunny-hopping.

[olive coral]

If it's only 2 months (8 weeks) then they'll have to up the points. I was only at like 94/110 at week 8 of S2.

[languid mural]

oh really? Ive finished all the battlepasses like halfway through them so

[gentle zodiac]

Same.

But honestly that's kind of nice.

It takes the focus off challenges, and lets you play the way you want to.

[olive coral]

I kind of just do the weekly homework and an hour or two every night at most.

[languid mural]

well for me the regular play is not that enjoyable anymore, and theres very little to do as side activities

[olive coral]

I love challenges

Gives me incentive to do things I might not bother with otherwise.

Realistic goals to shoot for is always fun too.

[misty yew]

Yep, there's like 70 tokens for the last challenge

[languid mural]

cuz if Im not running my usual setup of M4A1 or any other good assault rifle, then Im getting frustrated on getting killed in situations in which I probably shouldnt, and if Im running the M4A1 then its just expected that Im gonna do great but its a bit boring with 90% of playtime on one weapon
and theres not much else to do besides just shooting

like in bf2042 if I was bored I could go with the shield or throwing knives

jets werent also a pain
and there was also the flying hoverbike which was something fun to do

in here jets arent too chill since u die instantly from everything if youre not flying tip top

throwing knives are so ass it hurts

and well thats about it

[olive coral]

Throwing knives need to be ohk to torso at least

[languid mural]

also in previous bfs I also liked to just go on a little sideadventure with a recon with a spawn beacon and c4 to destroy enemy vehicles

[olive coral]

CoD doesn't have a big problem with them and you can ohk to the pinky toe across the map with them in those games.

[languid mural]

now if they notice me, they blast me immediately regardless of cover and I have to re-do the entire flanking process

[languid mural]

in 2042 it was basically like a slug shotgun which you could pick up from dead enemies/ground

so it was pretty cool

very risk reward

[merry bolt]

i have previous server admin experience so i catch on if it's a bot.. like for example an account made literally yesterday and sending me an AI video claiming it's them. lol

it's so cringe

[misty yew]

That' s quite an experience. I just get friend requests and DM requests

[merry bolt]

that is exactly what i got.. i just played along to see what they would do and i just blocked after the worst AI video i've ever seen

[languid mural]

I sometimes entertain them if the account doesnt seem that suspicious, but the moment I realise theyre not referring to anything I mightve said in the server I just troll them

[misty yew]

I guess I need to read the messages first lol

[verbal cape]

is there really no way to avoid bot matches?

[olive coral]

I get those too every couple of months lol blatant bots, usually a "girl"

[verbal cape]

i dont wanna play against low skilled

why does EA love adding bots to bf

[languid mural]

unfortunately the best way is to just queue whatevers the mode thats popping up at the top

[olive coral]

I wanna play against low skilled pls give em your enemies

[languid mural]

I dont understand adding bots to PvP modes but oh well

its a fix to an issue that isnt there yet

[olive coral]

Bots aren't low skill anymore btw

[languid mural]

it'll probably die down with persistent servers

[olive coral]

I just hope they don't remove casual BT

[languid mural]

I dont see why would they

also if they do someone will definitely do a vs ai server

[merry bolt]

has anyone had a run with recon and trying to c4 tanks? i learned if you crouch run while placing the c4.. the tank can't shoot you.. easily at least.

[charred rose]

Hope they add more casual modes

[languid mural]

IVe done that a lot, why

[olive coral]

I'd love casual conquest tbh.

Also

[languid mural]

try to queue friday night battlefield modes after its already saturday or smth

[olive coral]

The problem with ai modes in portal is that you have to get players to join for that full progression. Nobody ever joins portal.

[languid mural]

dead as hell

also thats cuz portal with the lower hz servers just feels bad to play

[olive coral]

There's that too

[verbal cape]

what game mode is loaded with player

[charred rose]

Every portal I found was just shoot the bots forever

[olive coral]

I want an official mode with a good server quality and people joining the match. But only up to 8 players so I can fight bots and still do challenges lol

[languid mural]

are operations still in game? that should be something

[empty heath]

Escalation, Conquest

[plush vigil]

Love ur name btw hahaha 😛

[olive coral]

Also yeah I mean any time I join a conquest or breakthrough (non casual) it always fills right up with players.

[slender epoch]

casual is nice sometimes to peel away from the horrendous mm

[olive coral]

I don't think those modes are dead at all

Small modes though, they take some time to fill up usually

[slender epoch]

especially if i leave a mortar infested lobby

[olive coral]

Don't get me started

[empty heath]

I still can't explain how a mortar shell dunked my tank's health by 700

[charred rose]

Nerfs finally coming tho

I forget what they are

[olive coral]

It couldn't have been just the mortar tbh, unless there was a bug

[languid mural]

if that was it, probably the upper plate damage

[olive coral]

Must've been a mine or rocket hit at the same time

[languid mural]

though they fixed the top-down damage so its still ?

probably a mine yeah

[charred rose]

Ppl swear there are no mines then drive right over them

[languid mural]

if ur own teammates are particularly precious it mightve even been your own teams mine blown up by enemy mortar

[olive coral]

Or a drone waited to blow the mine up as you drove over

Vehicles getting buffed in S3 I believe

[misty yew]

It's that angry walle dropping them off sometimes

[fiery oxide]

I always have to solo clear mines

[charred rose]

Every time I remember to use mines there's many free kills and vehicle pops

[olive coral]

I wall-e'd a couple of tanks the other night, felt great

[fiery oxide]

And when im in a vehicle with a gunner i also have to solo clear em

[languid mural]

recon with spec ops has the funny thing of being able to detect them with his passive while in vehicle if the vehicle is not moving too fast

lol

[hallow geode]

I will never get tired of seeing a clueless tank with a full squad of people in it go full speed over a mine and get launched to neptune

[olive coral]

I bail out of any tank that drives full speed into battle tbh lol

F'in asking for trouble

I'm not gonna be there when the tank driver pulls a Leroy Jenkins

But I'll watch the fireworks from afar

[languid mural]

btw I still dont get why they decided that spec ops ability needs to have a drawback of needing to walk to actually detect stuff
oh no Im sure this is the ability that will compete with auto-spotting everything with your scope, not being able to rez after headshot, more nades and faster GL reload etc etc, it has to have a drawback!

[charred rose]

Endless entertainment #screenshots-and-clips message

[slow rapids]

i can only justify the FIWB strat if i have a good gunner in comms with me + the mine countermeasures equip

if they know what they're doing they can pretty much take care of mine threat

[olive coral]

It's not always a bad move to be fair, but most of the time randoms got it coming. Also wb! Positive Play Charter W

[slow rapids]

Thank you ^-^

But yeah the average tanker can often leave something to be desired in terms of situational awareness, its extremely entertaining. I'm gutted i couldnt record bc it was from a closed session, but i watched a random blueberry and an enemy tank drive around a building for almost a minute chasing one another trying to shoot the other and not being able to land a single hit

[fiery oxide]

We share the earth with these people

[olive coral]

Classic

[hallow geode]

That's the annoying thing about labs. Especially the very early tests. Stuff happened in that which might never be replicated again and nobody could capture it

[olive coral]

I watch funny BF6 clip compilations on youtube sometimes

Also great play compilations... Amazing the things people pull off sometimes

[rich torrent]

W charter mentioned

[olive coral]

We love positivity

The first time it got me the DM was in French lmao. Merci.

[slow rapids]

resisting the urge to tag francois

[modest dome]

You sound like frank from 28 days later

[gentle zodiac]

We love positivity... as in the positive contact confirmation following the AT-9 I just fired into a window.

[olive sage]

Season 3 blog post when? Would have thought it'd have been at 4pm based on recent history.

[olive coral]

There was a trailer at least

[tawdry tiger]

Anyone else lagging only on official servers?

[olive sage]

Yeah I saw that, but usually there's a detailed post on the Thursday before release walking through everything that's coming up.

[olive coral]

I theorize that it will be an hour later (or in roughly 36 minutes) because we've had a time zone change in the US since last season.

[olive sage]

That's my hope too, cheers!

[urban monolith]

idk if anyone can help me but I've been having network issues from the moment I got this game last night attempting to play multiplayer where I have high latency, ping and stuttering even though I know my internet is solid and works fine on other multiplayer games

[torn peak]

25 mins

[high fiber]

whats with the new roof glitch on manhattan map...

[torn peak]

what roofglitch ?

[misty yew]

New one?

[high fiber]

people getting on the bulding right below the bridge

[fiery oxide]

I can assure you there's not a single new glitch on that map

[torn peak]

so there is a glitch 😄

[high fiber]

right, they were just undiscovered

[fiery oxide]

Day 0 people were ontop of every single roof there is on that map

[torn peak]

i need a video to see how to use it

[fiery oxide]

Scout heli just made it easier to get to any good spot

[olive coral]

How is it a glitch to be on rooftops in a map with a heli?

[misty yew]

That's not new. It's been there for months. I thought they changed some things so you couldn't but, I still see someone get there every once and a while

[solar kestrel]

Bought BF6 today

[sonic saffron]

conGrats

[solar kestrel]

I suck hard at multiplayer lol

[high fiber]

for me it's now every braktrhough lobby

[sonic saffron]

is it on sale? i remember it was 40% off awhile ago

[mossy badge]

h

[fiery oxide]

Strictly speaking it ain't glitching

[solar kestrel]

Yeah it was

[olive coral]

Try Casual Breakthrough mode

[valid jewel]

It is

[solar kestrel]

Is it with bots?

[frosty pier]

Season 3 looks like it’s focused on pax armada

[olive coral]

Hell yeah

[fiery oxide]

only because they didn't bother making the rooftops out of bounds

[mossy badge]

I'm sorry you did.

[misty yew]

Which is a valid point. If you jump out of a heli and land on roof you're good, but ladders to exploit is considered a no go

[solar kestrel]

Nah I don't like bots

[olive coral]

Then conquest is your best bet

[solar kestrel]

Is it bad still?

[mossy badge]

Yeah, still fun.

Well

[misty yew]

That sucks.

[frosty pier]

U missed out

[solar kestrel]

Missed out on what?

[mossy badge]

You can't say that after just buying it.

[olive coral]

Still time to complete S2, or mostly lol

[frosty pier]

Pre-Season 1

[sonic saffron]

its ok i missed season 1 too LOL

[mossy badge]

I still haven't 😭 😭

[solar kestrel]

Beta?

[solar kestrel]

Lol

[frosty pier]

Like the game before season 1 came out

[devout light]

Looks so much better holy

[olive coral]

There's a period of no season right after launch

[sonic saffron]

i bought the game and didnt play it frequently until contaminated is out

[solar kestrel]

Beta was awesome

[solar kestrel]

Ah okay

[frosty pier]

Season one came out 3 weeks after launch

[mossy badge]

I lost access to my pc for two weeks after launch.

[solar kestrel]

Oot

Oof

[shadow rampart]

Good. NATO are evil the sooner we defeat them the better

[mossy badge]

Though I did play the beta

[west jacinth]

Where do we find today's community update

[mossy badge]

Still sad about the battlepass

[frosty pier]

Wild

[misty yew]

Pax has better skins and it's not even closee

[quick frost]

Is there a help channel in here?

[frosty pier]

Skins don’t matter

[frosty pier]

We talking about political wise

[olive coral]

Might be coming in about 15 minutes. Just a guess

[solar kestrel]

Man I miss BF4 and 3

[shadow rampart]

So true. Hooded balaclava Ramona Stoica is my wife

[misty yew]

lol I could say something there too, but it might get me muted again 🤣

[cursive temple]

What help do you need?

[frosty pier]

Not uniform wise

But I do agree pax armada has the best mimicry uniforms

[frosty pier]

BF6 lore wise

[olive coral]

S3 going to be 90% Geckos running around, bet

I'ma be one of em

[misty yew]

They are the good guys

[quick frost]

My friends was trying to play redsec with me yesterday but his keybinds was all out of wack and we've tried to fix it

[frosty pier]

I’m interested to see the campaign characters in multiplayer

It’s gonna feel weird

[frosty pier]

Ik

[mossy badge]

Nato phantom editions skins are fire though.

[shadow rampart]

Gecko vs Johnny Sins

[mossy badge]

Red and black

[molten fable]

As a straight lady I still super approve 🤣🤣 except me gimme that Lopez 😂

[cursive temple]

Reset them?

[quick frost]

Tried that and it made it worse

[olive coral]

Gecko has a cool aura for sure.

[frosty pier]

What the main character’s name again? For the bf6 campaign

[mossy badge]

Put it in rice

[frosty pier]

The black guy

[cursive temple]

Then he has to do them manually

[frosty pier]

Oh wait I remember

[molten fable]

murphy I think

[olive coral]

Murphy I believe

[frosty pier]

It’s Dylan Murphy

Yes

[molten fable]

Dylan Murphy?

Yaya!

[frosty pier]

Guys my memory kicked in

[quick frost]

Like rekey bin them

[frosty pier]

Don’t worry gng 😁

[molten fable]

I can't remember Gecko's name though, Dylan says it once maybe

Espina?

[frosty pier]

Something like that

[olive coral]

Yeah Espina

[cursive temple]

Yes to how he likes them to be

[shadow rampart]

Simone

[frosty pier]

U think haz carter will be playable even tho he died?

[molten fable]

RIP Haz 🙂‍↕️ but if they ever make a skin like the Pax leader guy I forgot his name

I am 110% taking extra hours at work to heed the call of the whale xD

[olive coral]

I imagine they don't count campaign events as canon for MP

[mossy badge]

Something with a c

Hmmm

No

[frosty pier]

Kincaid

That’s his name

[molten fable]

YaAAAA Kincaid!

[olive coral]

Oh the ginger dude?

[mossy badge]

Knew it! It did have a c.

[quick frost]

We did that last night but every time he walks his gadget comes out or he can't aim also his leaderborad would show up

[frosty pier]

He pissed me off so much

[molten fable]

Thank you Imm at work that was gonna torture me not knowing 😂

[frosty pier]

Kincaid killed my boy haz

[cursive temple]

Never heard of that happening

[molten fable]

He did but he looks hot ok I'm a simple barbarian woman lemme have my eye candy too 🤣 but I was pissed AF with Haz

[olive coral]

What made it worse is that Haz had him, just took too damn long to do anything lol

[mossy badge]

What platform?

[olive coral]

I hate when they do that

[quick frost]

Ik I was confused too when I saw it

[quick frost]

Ps5

[frosty pier]

It’s cuz they’re the main characters bro

[mossy badge]

Oh Ion know anything about that

[frosty pier]

They always make it look scripted

[olive coral]

Of course

[molten fable]

Yeah

I was like where did the rest of the army we just fought with go

[cursive temple]

Did he tried reinstalling the game?

[frosty pier]

“Alright this is the part where I’m supposed to die”

[molten fable]

They extract the prez and everybody dips xD

[silent heath]

dead game,s3 and road map not save game

[quick frost]

No but I can ask him

[somber pike]

will the s3 battle pass cost the same as the pre-order? 1100 coins?

[frosty pier]

Yes

U can buy it right now

[somber pike]

huh. wonder why there's bonus stuff then

[cursive temple]

Try it if you want

[somber pike]

ig that's just how preorders work

[frosty pier]

Cuz ur pre-ordering it

Same system with video games

[olive coral]

I think there was an LMG skin for preordering the basic 1100 BP... I mean I was gonna get the shit anyway so I got that.

Not that I'll ever use the LMG skin.

[frosty pier]

Pre-ordering is the same price as buying the game at launch

[quick frost]

Ok will try, and let yk

[molten fable]

Ya lmg skin of the hatchet and then p18 skin I believe

[frosty pier]

I only got 800 coins so ima just get the 300 coins from the free pass then buy the BP

Wish the battlepass would give more coins than the price of it

[somber pike]

i hope i can complete the ultimate and prestige tiers in 4 days 😭

[molten fable]

I really gotta force myself to use lmgs and only for challenges really, I am just too impatient with their reload speeds. I need to go to rehab to stop reloading with 99/100 of a mag ☠️

[frosty pier]

Bro u had since February to complete it 😭

[somber pike]

do not underestimate the master procrastinator

[frosty pier]

Also u have 5 days not 4

[slender epoch]

mag dump the everything into oblivion

[molten fable]

I just got up to Danger Zone and was like I'm good this is all I wanted with how I play, usually I'm a danger to my own team than the enemy though 🤣🤣 but I BELIIIIIEVE YOU GOT THIS!!!

[somber pike]

also i'm only like 100 kills and 4 match wins from completing like 10 challenges in one go

[frosty pier]

Just complete the weekly quests

[molten fable]

It'll definitely send my ass to oblivion once someone hears me going rambo shooting into the sky around the corner 🤣

[frosty pier]

They should help u compete tbe battle pass

Season 3 skins don’t look as good as season 2

But we got 5 more days to see if I’m wrong or right

Season 2 felt so long gng

[slender epoch]

make that barrel red hot 👉🔥

[frosty pier]

I’m happy they’re making season 3 only 2 months

Lesser wait for naval warfare

Also they’re were no new vehicles in the season 3 trailer

Kinda weird

But it’s lowkey fine

[molten fable]

I am SO excited for naval warfare

I didn't see the season 3 skins though, is there still a way to preview or just from what you've seen of the theme for his season?

[slender epoch]

i’d be more hype if we get our air radar with it

[molten fable]

This season* rather

OOOOoooh heck ya to that too

[olive coral]

I think it does, I'm more excited for this season tbh

The maps and weapons appeal to me more

But we'll see

[frosty pier]

Season 3 already looks better than season 1 and 2

[slender epoch]

just feel like naval combat would be missing it’s aerial counterpart

[frosty pier]

It’s jsut the skins

But we’ll soon see

[olive coral]

I've been wanting Gecko since launch so that alone is a win

megusta.png

[frosty pier]

I’ve never seen someone so desperate for a campaign character

Respect 🫡

[olive coral]

Not desperate lmao but

[solemn drum]

did they post the new season weapons?

[olive coral]

They showcased them in the trailer

[slender epoch]

who was gecko? the defib hero?

[olive coral]

No S3 post otherwise though, yet

[lime void]

is it worth it to get the 25 round magazine over the 20 round for the scw? I feel like the 25 round is kinda necessary but 25 points over the 20 round seems kinda expensive

[frosty pier]

How u not desperate when u just said you’ve been waiting since launch 😭

[olive coral]

The badass sniper chick in the campaign

[olive coral]

Desperation is different than "I hope we get that some day" lol

[frosty pier]

#game-news message

[frosty pier]

I have mixed feelings about campaign characters coming to MP

[olive coral]

Why

[frosty pier]

Idk man

At first I didn’t support it

But now I think it’s fine

[slender epoch]

i haven’t played the campaign lol

[slow rapids]

to be fair Gecko is pretty awesome

[rough ocean]

When does the recoil reqork patch come in?

[slow rapids]

unannounced

[frosty pier]

I really like Murphy and hemlock

Bro but the characters in the first campaign mission looked so much better than the others

Idk why they had to kill them off right away like that

[tepid forge]

Are we ready for Season 3 boys?

[olive coral]

It's decent, but kinda forgettable

The characters are the best part but still there's nobody that compares to some of CoD's characters IMO

Like, there's no Captain Price or Ghost...

Cool as Gecko is lol

[slow rapids]

I'm really hoping that BFBC3 hits hard on the "goofy/quirky/dry humour squad dynamics" stuff again like BFBC2

[tepid forge]

I swear if we have to buy the characters in this Season's Battlepass I'm gonna crash out

LET US GET A NEW FREE SQUAD

[tepid forge]

Gecko's Ghillie uniform was good too

[charred rose]

free

[idle kelp]

BC3 is never happening, the dice we knew is no longer them

[tepid forge]

What's wrong with that?

[slow rapids]

its a pretty high liklihood that the next BF will be BC3, imo

[charred rose]

can't happen

[slow rapids]

Theres no shot that EA wont cash in on the IP recognition of BC3

[charred rose]

Especially with all the malding over this game

[olive coral]

It’s been so long, I feel like they would’ve by now. I wish they would too

[tepid forge]

Ughhh

[wheat wigeon]

Did they change something to sensitivity in the latest update?
First game last night I felt something was off with my aim, sensitivity while aimed down felt slightly off and when at hip it felt like it ramps up

[idle kelp]

They would have to rehire Goldfarb

[olive coral]

I’m surprised after the travesty that 2042 was that they didn’t do BC3 as a good faith comeback move.

But BF6 did that for me so…

[slow rapids]

ive posted this before but this is my rationale of why I think BC3 is the next BF:

Battlefield has 3 main sub-series (the Battlefield XX42, Bad Company, and Battlefield X). 2042 was the most recent in the line of the XX42, and now we have a Battlefield X. And EA knows BFBC2 is beloved, it would be a cash cow to cash in on the IP recognition for the title, especially if they're coming off the back of BF6 being both successful and controversial. Basically saying "hey we fixed BF6, and now heres this game that succeeds one of the most beloved battlefield titles EVER, with all of those fixes from BF6 included"

[idle kelp]

Ok, you can think that all you want, it wont change the facts

[slow rapids]

What are these facts

[gleaming yew]

Dice can't fix the mortar because it should be off map and called by the commander

[idle kelp]

By that logic it would be a shadow of its former glory without the writers that gave it the "goofy/dry humor" you refer to. Seems you only want it to make EA money by calling it a cash cow. Games uses to represent an art from not just to sell copies.

[gleaming yew]

Absurd, games were never High art lol

[idle kelp]

You are blinded by delusions

[slow rapids]

Money is the motivation to do anything for a company like EA.

I'm saying that they (like any company) can cash in on nostalgia + make a good product that honours/lives up to that nostalgia to make a great game. If they are able to both of those things, that's a huge reason to make that the next BF over any other Battlefield title, rather than another Battlefield X, or XX42 series title.

Just because the original writers/authors arent at EA anymore doesnt mean that they cant make a new title in the franchise, there are more than a few great writers in the industry, its just up to them to capture the talent.

Building on legacy is like a cornerstone of the industry atm

[modest jackal]

Plus, you need to find really good Dry Humour Writers, which are hard to find these days.

[pulsar nacelle]

Holy yap fest

[slow rapids]

hmm

[molten fable]

I am late to this but I am 50% sure one of the characters in the Strix Raiders pack is from campaign, the Al-Khalid or Khalib egyptian nato soldier guy. Soon as I saw that I was like ooooh would be so cool if the others come too someday then

[pulsar nacelle]

[molten fable]

The way they tied off the story I'd say fits into the MP lore if that's the reservation

[olive coral]

What facts lol we have no concrete proof BC3 is or isn’t coming😂

Unless they explicitly said BC2 was the final iteration. Did they?

[cursive temple]

What facts?

[idle kelp]

The facts are that the old writers dont work for dice anymore and likely never will again, any iteration of bc3 going forward would not live up to the expectations

[sonic gust]

is season 3 worth playing ?

[cursive temple]

Facts

[somber pike]

as if any of us know

wait till the 13th man

[rich torrent]

Bro talking as if Battlefield stories have ever been that deep.

[cursive temple]

How should we know 😂

[olive coral]

“Would not live up to expectations” is subjective

[cursive temple]

It wont

[somber pike]

what profile background do yall use

i like night hunt

[rich torrent]

The campaigns aren't exactly A tier writing.

[somber pike]

or b or c

[cursive temple]

D

[olive coral]

And it doesn’t need the same writers. How many BFs have we had with all different devs? Lol

[olive coral]

That may be true in your case, maybe even mine, but that wouldn’t stop them from trying if they wanted to.

GTA’s head writer left and we’re still apparently someday getting GTA6

[cursive temple]

And ruining the idea in the process

[olive coral]

Sequels can still happen without original writers

[olive coral]

Can’t be sure of that, but it’s possible yeah

[opaque vapor]

OMG CAN WE PLEASE NERF THE HELICOPTERS GUY IS USING HIS BLADES THROUGH A BUILDING TO KILL SOMEONE AND BELLFLOPPING ON BUILDINGS TO BREAK THEM DOWN WTF

A GAME THAT TRIES TO BE REAL LOL

[pulsar nacelle]

Uhh. I don't think this game is trying to be real.

[gentle zodiac]

Yeah... it's realistic compared to COD, maybe, if only slightly.

But otherwise no.

[olive coral]

I didn’t know you could use heli blades that way in BF6😂

[gentle zodiac]

You cannot twitch fire an RPG-7 without dislocating your shoulder.

[cursive temple]

NO

[slow rapids]

Ive definitely died inside a building from a little bird smacking into the wall outside

[idle kelp]

Typical redsec experience

[pulsar nacelle]

Did you call HR

[slow rapids]

What does this mean

[deft fern]

Heli blades can phase through wall?

[olive coral]

Yeah news to me too lol

[gentle zodiac]

I mean... we also have players driving tanks into the interiors of concrete buildings so...

Realistic? Hell no. But that's Battlefield.

[cursive temple]

HR?

[gentle zodiac]

Helicopter Resources

[deft fern]

Tanks can realistically overpower concrete

[pulsar nacelle]

This guy has called HR before

[gentle zodiac]

On the exterior, sure. Interior? Not so much. unless they've got serious momentum.

[cursive temple]

Everyone that works has HR

[calm lily]

Yo wassup my ninjas

[gentle zodiac]

More likely to just get stuck.

[pulsar nacelle]

I'm very sure Pax has an HR

[gentle zodiac]

Of course they do. Where else do they get their explanations of helicopter benefits?

[molten fable]

Kincaid is their HR 🤣

[cursive temple]

Every Company has HR

[slow rapids]

No just the context lol

[deft fern]

Hey was that the M16 I seen in the season 3 trailer or was it the M4 with new iron sights?

[pulsar nacelle]

Do you think pax has employee discounted tickets to the Wet and wild Water Park

[gentle zodiac]

M16 I believe.

Larger frame/barrell.

[calm lily]

I’m so exited for m16

[molten fable]

I just hope they have a good insurance policy that has good physio and massage benefits 🤣

[cursive temple]

Human resources

[calm lily]

When does season 6 even start

[deft fern]

That’s my favorite weapon since bf3

[molten fable]

Whoa whoa whoa 6?!

[pulsar nacelle]

A good therapist

[molten fable]

May 12th is when Season 3 starts but idk about season 6 xD

[cursive temple]

HR are not so nice people

[molten fable]

"Today a golf cart ran me over" and how did that make you feel 😂

[gentle zodiac]

I've missed the m16 - hopefully that's what they were showing, and it wasn't just mock up.

[calm lily]

I meant 3

[gentle zodiac]

Could be worse. Could be a Vespa 150 TAP.

[barren heath]

I hope S3 makes this game playable again

[molten fable]

LOL

[calm lily]

They should replace the other weapon slot for assialt with smg instead of carbine

[idle kelp]

Man what ever happened to the rumor of the CZ bren that was supposed to be added? Why do we get another AK lol

[molten fable]

Your name is brilliant Vespa xD

[gentle zodiac]

I am once again asking for the Vespa 150 TAP to be added to BF6...

Ruby red, please.

[molten fable]

🤣

[deft fern]

You talking about the sidearm or gadget?

[calm lily]

Gadget

It would make way more sense

[deft fern]

Assault with personal defense weapons seems weird

[calm lily]

Nah it’s a good idea

Have an adulation riffle and a smg that’s sickkk

Asualt*

I can’t type on phone

[summer stone]

Have to wait and see if they took the cosmetic capes out after the trailer.

[deft fern]

Nooo not the capes!

[summer stone]

The end all be all

[calm lily]

Kinda were

[cursive temple]

Pfff gen z

[gentle zodiac]

You know what disappoints me most? Why are we still not getting a "total war" set in modern day setting.

[modest jackal]

Carbines are already kind of a PDW.

[gentle zodiac]

It's like we're incapable of imagining any modern scenario that isnt tactical skirmishes.

[calm lily]

Why they remove nightfall, hopefully it’s full time in season 3

[gentle zodiac]

Take that back.

[deft fern]

Yeah they are a mix of ar and pdw, but what’s your point?

[calm lily]

WTF does pdw mean?

[gentle zodiac]

Carbines are not PDWs.

They're SBRs.

[modest jackal]

Personal Defense Weapons.

[gentle zodiac]

Honestly they should rename the carbine class as SBR.

More accurate.

[calm lily]

Yess i figured out how to turn n outocorrect off!!!

[deft fern]

We called them carbines in the military

[modest jackal]

Tell that to the AKS-74U, it's classified as a Rifle Calibre PDW according to some sources.

[gentle zodiac]

Antiquated term. Now they're called SBRs.

Especially outside the US.

[modest jackal]

Heck, the South Koreans classify the K1 as an SMG. 😭

[gentle zodiac]

Russian weapon designations are... special.

They still refer to the RPKM as a battle rifle.

[deft fern]

Seems fitting

[gentle zodiac]

It's really an LSW.

[calm lily]

Which is better, RPKM or DRS IAR?

[modest jackal]

DRS.

By quite a mile.

[calm lily]

thx bro

[gentle zodiac]

As a LSW? RPKM.

[marble inlet]

is battlefield 4 still alive?

[gentle zodiac]

As a mixed use battle rifle, DRS.

[modest jackal]

I think they meant objectively in BF6?

[gentle zodiac]

Still works.

DSR has great flexibility. But if youre looking for a lightweight support option, for sustained fire, especially at distance, the RPKM is your best bet.

Ignoring the Ultimax, of course.

Fun fact: the DSR IAR was originally ordered by the USMC as a LSW to replace the M240B. However, after receipt, they began ordering them instead as their standard battle rifle.

[olive coral]

Yes, even on console

Though I wouldn’t say it’s thriving still, you can find matches.

[idle kelp]

Neat

[misty yew]

I thought it was to replace the M249

[gentle zodiac]

No. The M249 (SAW) is primarily used by the US Army.

The M240B is the primary SAW for the USMC.

[misty yew]

Interesting

[gentle zodiac]

Another fun fact: the L110 is a variant of the FN Minimi, the ancestor of the M249.

So it's essentially the British version of the M249.

[olive coral]

I like these gun facts

[gentle zodiac]

I know a fair bit about the BF6 guns, among others. Not an expert though.

[thin nexus]

The pre recall sig p320 <3

[gentle zodiac]

Another fun one is the NVO-228E.

That's actually a Ukrainian variant of the ACE 32.

Real world name is the Fort-228.

[thin nexus]

im so happy they brought the m16 back

[gentle zodiac]

Then there's the LMR, which is fictional, but the concept came from a Russian prototype called Saritch.

[heady gale]

.

[gentle zodiac]

I believe nothing until the launch date lol.

[olive coral]

I personally guarantee you the M16 will be in S3 lol

[gentle zodiac]

Ssshhhh

[olive coral]

I'm also glad it's back btw lol

[gentle zodiac]

You'll scare it away.

[olive coral]

I love the iron sights

[thin nexus]

bf isnt bf without that purity

[pulsar nacelle]

Hi Xolpei

[olive coral]

It better have good camo unlocks. Not some wacky spacey camos.

[pulsar nacelle]

Mmmhh boyfriend 6

[heady gale]

Hi Xolpei on Xbox

[pulsar nacelle]

I don't remember what I was

[thin nexus]

6 boyfreinds?

[gentle zodiac]

Wondering what variant they'd do. A4?

[thin nexus]

most likely yeah

[olive coral]

Is that the one that only bursts... Please no

[heady gale]

Yeah I was on steam

[pulsar nacelle]

But you're on Xbox.

[olive coral]

Please don't be the single/burst M16 oh god

[gentle zodiac]

Maybe they'll give us a bayonet lug...

[thin nexus]

i think they did an attachment for full auto

[olive coral]

Costs 60points.

Lmao

[heady gale]

That’s what made it funnier

[gentle zodiac]

They need to bring back bayonet charges.

[thin nexus]

they need to updamage on melee 10 fold

[gentle zodiac]

"bunny hop this scrub"

[gentle zodiac]

We need a solid burst fire option for assault, though.

[thin nexus]

I think burst is fine aslong as it has good damage

[gentle zodiac]

Truthfully, the gun that really stands out for not being included, is the AK-74.

Or the AK-12.

Given: the NVO is similar.

[idle kelp]

The best take I've heard in a while

[gentle zodiac]

I have my moments.

[glossy timber]

my battlefield 6 keeps on pc freezing me with an 5090 and 9800x3d hows is this possible ?
my nvidia drivers are up to date as well

@small plume

[fresh sail]

Is there any chance someone would be able to tell me every map/mode combination the armoured transport is on? I'd really appreciate it, finding it hard to find info online.

[fallen fox]

The nvo is more galil

[gentle zodiac]

The galil is an ACE.

[shadow rampart]

Breakthrough - Blackwell, Eastwood, Contaminated, Sobek City, Siege of Cairo

[gentle zodiac]

oh you meant in regard to the ak74.

But yes, I didn't mean in the sense of it being related to the AK. I was referring to performance/function.

[spiral timber]

Just had a full squad of four cheating on Hagendal breakthrough.
teleporting, god mode, walls, aim the works

[fiery oxide]

Sure

[ashen oar]

[fiery oxide]

Ain't no one gonna believe that

[misty yew]

That just sounds like someone from Asia just using a VPN lol

[spiral timber]

thats what it was

[misty yew]

LOL I knew it

yeah I don't know if they are actually cheating or just getting godlike latency in their favor, but they ALWAYS win gunfights

[flat bough]

this is straight up wrong, the M27 IAR was indeed intended to replace the M249

[spiral timber]

at least it isnt just happening to me

[flat bough]

but the USMC did a funny and just decided to replace all rifles with the M27

[misty yew]

Only advice I have is dump the whole mag to account for the netcode diff

[flat bough]

whether or not all units will receive the M27 is yet to be seen

I guarantee you that most riflemen will still be using an M4

[misty yew]

I addressed my thoughts non-confrontationally, but yeah I was like ok

[flat bough]

while the M27 will be used in an auto rifleman role, M249s will still remain in service

the Army is doing whatever the Army is doing with the whole M7 thing

[gentle zodiac]

Huh. No kidding? I swore it was the M240B, but then again, I can see why it'd be the M249 instead.

[flat bough]

and the M250

those are completely different weapons

used in different roles

[gentle zodiac]

They're both SAWs, are they not?

[misty yew]

Plus, I've only ever seen Marines using the M240G variant not the B

[flat bough]

no

M240 is a MMG

SAWs fire the same cartridge as the service assualt rifle

[subtle zinc]

You think they will look to remove tanks and helicopters for ranked redsec just because of their potential OP nature?

[gentle zodiac]

Interesting. Then where do LSWs fit in?

[flat bough]

they are interchangable

M240 is not a light weapon in any way

[gentle zodiac]

My understanding was based on LSWs being distinct from SAWs.

[flat bough]

it fires a full powered cartridge

[gentle zodiac]

Agreed on that point. I wouldn't label it anything close to a LSW.

[flat bough]

and requires more than one to operate effectively

[chilly crag]

I wouldn’t mind a competitive game mode, yet they’d either have to rebalance the game specifically for that game mode, or rebalance the entire game in a way that most people probably wouldn’t like.

[gentle zodiac]

Not sure I agree there. I've only seen single-man operation for the M240.

[flat bough]

its not required

[chilly crag]

The main reason I’ve never even tried redsec is because of armor and damages being different

[gentle zodiac]

Then again, I trained with psychotic idiots

[flat bough]

but it helps if someone is carrying ammo for the MMG

SAWs can be operated at full effectiveness by a single person

[gentle zodiac]

The only direct use I've seen myself, was single-man operation as a mobile deterrent for small craft.

[misty yew]

So you want a competitve mode, just haven't played the competitive mode in the game?

[gentle zodiac]

As opposed to a mounted HMG, which we weren't allowed to have.

Because: Laws.

[misty yew]

Coast Guard?

[chilly crag]

Well I wouldn’t mind a competitive mode in the game, I do think that could be fun, but BF isn’t a competitive game and has never to my knowledge has any competitive modes

[gentle zodiac]

No. Merchant Marine. Not military, despite the name.

[misty trellis]

Anyone know if there making the battle pass easier to grind i had to play for 8 hours straight just for the last 3 tiers of the battle pass with all challenges complete 😭

[flat bough]

cool discord

[flat bough]

Guantlet

[misty yew]

Ah that makes sense. Sad too, the pirates out there have similar weapons to the military

[gentle zodiac]

Basically: "We know you're not required to be able to defend yourselves BUUUT here ya go"

[chilly crag]

Isn’t there still random bullet spread in gauntlet

[gentle zodiac]

So we learned to use a few weapons, so we didn't look like total idiots.

[misty yew]

So you can't get like a special security license to give you access to better weaponry?

[flat bough]

oh you want a total rework of all gameplay mechanics to be able to qualify as a "competitive" mode lol yeah thats not happening

[gentle zodiac]

No. Many nations won't allow civil vessels to enter their ports with permanent weapons.

[chilly crag]

Yeah I didn’t think so. I’m fine with battlefield staying a casual game

[gentle zodiac]

So we used weapons that could be easily hidden, upon inspection.

[misty yew]

Got it, makes sense

[blissful mica]

does anyone else find that the battlepass progression is way too slow and not very rewarding (costs 1100 bfc, only returns exactly 1100 bfc)? Ive played every single week of season 2 and done every single challenge, including the bonus weekly for every week, and i still need 4 more tiers of the pass to finish it. are players expected to treat the game like a full time job just for some cosmetics?

[gentle zodiac]

We had a couple M240s, but I didn't get trained on them.

"trained"

[flat bough]

you need to do about 30 tiers without any weekly challenges to complete the bp

[chilly crag]

I bought the battlepass even though I have absolutely no idea what battlepasses are since I’ve never played a game with them before, and I unlocked everything from them without doing anything specific a few weeks ago

[flat bough]

I believe with the current length of the bp, only doing weekly challenges gives you 72 tiers

[gentle zodiac]

Honestly, it was kind of a joke. Like what's my M4 going to do against a fast boat carrying three guys with RPGs?

[flat bough]

but seasons are going to be shorter now, so that means less challenges

[blissful mica]

what im saying is it should not be possible to do the challenges every week without playing for long enough to get the rest of the necessary points to finish the pass

[chilly crag]

Isn’t possibly not unlocking everything the “fun” gambling aspect of battle passes?

[spiral timber]

So the Igla is just a worse stinger?

[gentle zodiac]

Yes. Basically.

[spiral timber]

then why did they add it??

[gentle zodiac]

No idea.

[misty yew]

I don't think it's too hard to do that honestly

[gentle zodiac]

I haven't really struggled to complete any seasonal BP so far, but that's just me.

[blissful mica]

I play a few hours a week every week, i just think that should be enough. games should be fun, not a chore

[gentle zodiac]

I get that, but content also needs to plan for people who want more than that.

[misty yew]

If you don't drip feed, the season would be over in a few days

[gentle zodiac]

Ya know, it does make me think of how BF3/4 worked. A whole bunch of assignments that could be completed whenever, coupled with expansion packs to add content.

I do wonder if that setup wouldn't still work now.

[blissful mica]

yeah, thats another issue though, dripfeeding content and LTMs arent enough to keep me wanting to play the game and i assume others agree. I would understand not being done the pass yet if i took a break from the game for a week or two, but again i did not

[misty yew]

Totally understand. I think the devs are catering to the largest group of players possible while trying to find ways to keep all of them continuing to play

[gentle zodiac]

I think seasonal passes and drip feeds are just "en vogue" right now.

Kinda like loot boxes in the late twenty-teens.

I actually really liked how BF1 was setup.

[blissful mica]

im just frustrated with monetization that doesnt guarantee you what you pay for. i never buy premium currency for any game i play, but i did get bf6 phantom edition or whatever they called it expecting to get more out of the currency that the edition came with while casually playing the game. i am just disappointed and wanted to see if anyone else felt the same about the battlepass

[gentle zodiac]

At least it's mostly cosmetics. And the actual content can still be unlocked through other means.

[blissful mica]

only once the season is over though, right? you still have to do about 60 tiers to get all the actual content if i remember correctly

[gentle zodiac]

Not sure on that 2nd part, but yes on the first. You have to wait for the next season.

[blissful mica]

idk man, i just think thats silly, but i guess it makes them more money or they wouldnt do it

[gentle zodiac]

I think it's more technical than just extracting the most revenue.

My guess is spreading content out results in steadier metrics and cash flow, which is better from a business standpoint

[lapis bloom]

Supposedly it's getting buffed on tuesday but idk I'll believe it when i see it

EA is hella vague still on weapon changes

[gentle zodiac]

Maybe I misunderstood, but wasn't the Igla meant to be an aim-guided AAA option?

[lapis bloom]

It's supposed to be an in-between of the stinger and AT-4

[gentle zodiac]

I tried to use it, assuming it was aim guided like the AT4, but it still got thrown by flares like the stinger.

[lapis bloom]

Yeah.. it's kind of the worst of both worlds

[low wyvern]

Hey what's the best setup for camping

[lapis bloom]

You have to track but it's still thrown off by flares

[lapis bloom]

Shotgun and sit in the corner

Or TR-7 and sit in the corner

[low wyvern]

Thanks bromie

[idle kelp]

What makes the igla good is how you can target switch the lock on, assuming it didnt already hit flares

[magic jacinth]

Is there anywhere you can request features or give suggestions? I'm dying to have 3 manual map zoom levels to cycle, and rename loadouts.

...basically just bf1 qol that should've been in this game too

[wise cloak]

Is there a map big enough to make this work that isnt firestorm ?

[idle kelp]

Ive done it on Mirak, and Lib peak

Basically any map with at least 2 air vehicles you can attempt it

[wise cloak]

on average how many times did it take to work. Feels weird fighting helis. Doesnt feel like I am doing anything with aa. If the point is to make the pilot press the temp immune button to make them vulnerable after for a brief moment why dont you get points for it or an assist just something rest of the time the launcher is a paper weight.

[lapis bloom]

If you find out let me know lmao

[merry bolt]

I wish I could answer this.. I always have ideas and I usually answer them in the surveys Battlefield studios put out .. not sure how else to get suggestions or feature ideas noticed to be honest.

[cedar briar]

The only place to ask is on the community forum

[merry bolt]

having the option to zoom in and out the minimap should of been in the game to begin with.. it was in Battlefield 3, 4 .. I can't recall when it wasn't i.

I will never understand removing features that were loved

[magic jacinth]

💔

[cedar briar]

Mouse wheel zooms in and out, don't need more for it

[slender epoch]

pings should make noise or smt when you press becuase half the time i’m not paying attention unless i see the ping in front

[merry bolt]

with the minimap? please tell me how you do that

[wise cloak]

interesting theres 600+ options and settings to choose from just that isnt one of them 🤷‍♂️

[magic jacinth]

minimap =/= full map

[cedar briar]

i missed the mini bit

[idle kelp]

Uhh its not often i try because i mainly use RPG but messing around in escalation you could easily get lucky switching targets between heli first then move to a jet making a pass, wont have time to use flares if the rocket is already airborne. iirc its also more damage than a stinger?

The trick is maintaining locks without firing until you have the right moments.

Might have a clip somewhere maybe ill post it later

Also big plus if recon has laser for faster locks.

[lapis bloom]

The surveys are for BF labs yeah?

[lapis bloom]

Yeah... sadly that's what i was thinking

[merry bolt]

No.. they have released surveys for the public playerbase the past few months for feedback and what not.

[wise cloak]

Sounds heavily situational. I would rather have a dummy launcher with 10 shots that does no damage but dopps pilots to flare with missile incoming prompt.

[idle kelp]

Yes anti-air launchers are situational.

[cedar briar]

bait the flare, don't fire as soon as you lock on

[slow rapids]

They do sent out public serveys every so often iirc

[hearty holly]

i need multiplayer pro teammates for me and my friend so that platoon next season we can conquer

anyone down to play some multiplayer lv100+

[cedar briar]

only if your over 350+

[olive coral]

I would bet he's over 9000+

[cedar briar]

without padding

[wise cloak]

but then the pilot just flies close to the ground and still has their flares anyway. Its easy to kill an unskilled pilot can shoot most of them out the sky with lmg no issue. Skilled pilots wait for missle incoming prompt never use flares otherwise.

[slow rapids]

hmm

[hearty holly]

Im 560

no bra xbox post and teammates be dead af... i just want company ;-;

[slow rapids]

unfort most good pilots are pretty unlikely to die to just one person with a stinger. your best bets are to try and wait for someone else to force him to flare, or catch him in a compromised position while hes 1v1ing a jet or another heli

[lapis bloom]

Ahh i see

[lapis bloom]

Gotcha! I'll keep my eye out

[olive coral]

Yeah I hate dealing with flares tbh. It's a big fat waste of my time. I bait flares and they fly low, behind buildings/mountains, whatever. Almost never get a hit, and if I do it's likely not enough because nobody else runs AA.

[slow rapids]

the best bets to kill a good heli player are to either beat them in a heli/jet yourself, or to kill them with non-lock ons. Stingers are more of a zoning/pressure tool than they are for being able to 1v1 a heli for the kill. RPGs or AT4 are the best bet for infantry in the current meta

[idle kelp]

#screenshots-and-clips message

[olive coral]

Exactly

Flares need a cooldown nerf or something

[hearty holly]

so no one down to play?

[wise cloak]

the best way to kill a heli is to count on your team mates no wonder its always a slaughter 🤣

[olive coral]

Lol

[slow rapids]

We have this exact same convo every modern BF game for the last 20 years lol

at least the flares pop instantly now and dont have a long duration like previous titles, thats already a big change

[wise cloak]

not exactly take away repair stations go back to the regen instead

actual consequences for getting hit with a missile

[idle kelp]

here is an example of igla target switch between the same two heli, twice.

[olive coral]

I'd be down with no repair stations if the flares are left as is

Go land and repair manually, get a teammate to do it, etc.

[wise cloak]

how much did you pay your teammates to laze targets for you

[idle kelp]

i think it was the armor camping in base the whole game

(we lost)

[wise cloak]

ah yes cant have it all

thanks for the example though Iwill try that out

does seem very gimmicky I must say

[devout sedge]

What tank shells/ammunition does the projectile interceptor dont work against?

[wise cloak]

apds

stock anti tank shell

its kinetic

[idle kelp]

lock ons can be a strong counter to air sweats. so im hoping since Golmuds expanded airspace, there should be additional AA...

[olive coral]

I'm stoked for Golmud and Bazaar

[slow rapids]

[olive coral]

That's not very positive

[deft fern]

Telling me I broke the rules for saying “capes are not gay”

[slow rapids]

ope

[deft fern]

🤨

[wise cloak]

I dont blame people for not lazing targets. There are times I light up all vehicles with a laze and nothing happens. Not sure what the issue is are people stuck in their ways using only what they know, never changing classes/gadgets to adapt to the situation ? Is it too complicated ? Are the penalties for using a javelin too great ? Whats the core issues 🤔

[slow rapids]

saying it again might have not been the move

[olive coral]

Yeeeah lol

And protip btw, even deleting the post won't save you lmao AI detects it when it's posted, it doesn't forget it after it's deleted

Can confirm

[slow rapids]

[merry bolt]

can anyone recommend a youtuber who regularly covers Battlefield ? most of the ones I used to watch don't cover it like unless something big is happening

[deft fern]

Ai? That makes sense

[slow rapids]

what kind of content are you looking for? Technical? Funny? General?

[olive coral]

Jackfrags and Westie are my favorites personally.

They seem to post identical stuff though.

[spiral timber]

Is there such a thing as a smoke meta?

[merry bolt]

General. gameplay.. some news. I got one for the news stuff . maybe someone who does loadout videos. I don't care for try hards so not someone like Enders for example.

[spiral timber]

just had two guys screaming about it in game chat despite us only progressing after the smoke was gone

[wise cloak]

I would say Jackfrags . He is old enough to take a step back and look at all the components all while finding cartoon funny moments from time to time.

[modest jackal]

I remembered facing 5 Support Enemies spamming Smoke Grenades...

[merry bolt]

I already watch him. been watching for decades.. before he was even a big youtuber. lol

[modest jackal]

NGL, I'm glad Smokes aren't an All-Class Throwable.

[olive coral]

I just recently found a channel called Trophy Dads and they(?) do short tips/tricks videos.

[spiral timber]

they were spamming:
smoke and push
smoke op
in chat
we never made progress while no one could see from the huge smoke clouds

[slow rapids]

As much as I might get murdered for it, id recommend Enders since he gives a (sometimes too much) honest and blunt opinion, as well as keeps up with the news. Other than that I'd recommend someone like GhostGaming or TheCadWoman

[pulsar nacelle]

Jacksfrags clickbait

[slow rapids]

lmao

[merry bolt]

I can't watch him.. I won't go into detail about it but i just can't.

[olive coral]

Jack certainly does clickbait but his content's good IMO

[pulsar nacelle]

It's well put for sure

[idle kelp]

Smoke is OP. But only when your team wants to hold W and ptfo. Camping wont take obj

[slow rapids]

everyone has their opinions. I appreciate that Enders is both a good player, and honest about his takes. I dont watch his live stuff, but his short/long form content is decent. Hes one of the few exceptionally good players who also unfilteredly voices his opinion. He could be a little less hyperbolic at times with his outrage but its whatever

[pulsar nacelle]

Enders just cares

A lot

[spiral timber]

yeah that team was the opposite
no one moved while the smoke was up

[wise cloak]

I guess I am out of place here dont have much time to watch more than one content creator covering the same topics. If I did I would rather just play the game more but each to their own.

[magic belfry]

Lmao calling a match quitter who manipulates his stats a good player is just comedy

[olive coral]

[wise cloak]

team be like wtf bro I cant see the enemy now

🤣

[olive coral]

You can be a good player with padded stats lol

[pulsar nacelle]

Mmmhh stat padding

[spiral timber]

yup
just two teams firing blind through clouds

[magic belfry]

With a fake 80% win rate? No. Enders is trash

[olive coral]

I'll be in casual BT tonight padding my stats

[pulsar nacelle]

As long as you're having fun

[wise cloak]

I do that strow smoke and a hail of bullets down a narrow passage good times

[slow rapids]

My overall winrate is like 74% and my small gamemodes winrate is 80%

[olive coral]

Lmao @ stats mattering

[slow rapids]

also this ^

[pulsar nacelle]

Stats doesn't matter. It's the friends we meet along the way or something like that

[olive coral]

Especially in a game where leaving a match doesn't affect winrate, and bots are everywhere

[magic belfry]

If they didn’t matter than why stat pad?

[olive coral]

Stats = meaningless

[magic belfry]

[slow rapids]

the guy can drop a 100+ kill game in BT consistently, hes an exceptionally good and mechanical player

[pulsar nacelle]

(solo player btw)

[magic belfry]

Streamer + match quitting= trash.

[slow rapids]

what does streaming have to do with anything lmao

[rotund dust]

Is season 3 going to be pre downloadable

[pulsar nacelle]

Usually I beef with you. But you right on the match quitting. Go off my boy

[quartz karma]

controller = cheater

[magic belfry]

Well damn guess I’m one too

[pulsar nacelle]

I never match quit. I stay til the end

Like a man

[quartz karma]

blatant

[proven oriole]

I'm playing on ps5 and stink with my controller, wish I was playing on pc

[olive coral]

I match quit all the time

[slow rapids]

wait does that mean i get a pass 👀

[olive coral]

Not because of my w/l but because of fun factor

[proven oriole]

I easily go like 13-42 with controller lol

[pulsar nacelle]

Are you a man? : 👀

[proven oriole]

i'm also old though

[slow rapids]

nop

[pulsar nacelle]

Awh.

[olive coral]

Hell if I'ma waste my time getting my balls busted by a bunch of elite players lol I wanna play with people that suck.

[slow rapids]

some of the most fun I have is going up against stacks of good players

[olive coral]

But... I don't play to entertain anyone else.

[proven oriole]

even though I stink I have a good time taking the heli and air dropping people over point providing support lol

[olive coral]

I should clarify that I like playing against people who play my style.

[slow rapids]

good transport heli pilots should be protected at all costs

[proven oriole]

i'll circle point like i'm in the air force doing CAS EVAC lmaoooo

[pulsar nacelle]

"my money, I'll play the game how I want to"

[olive coral]

I mean that's true

[remote phoenix]

Did you ever get this resolved? Having the same issue. Completed battle pass -> purchased with BF Coins I already had on account -> didn't receive any unlocks but it spent my BF Coins -> Support is not helpful

[olive coral]

I play like it's MGS usually lol

[spiral timber]

may be obvious but have you restarted the game?

[pulsar nacelle]

Bring back Night mode

[remote phoenix]

Yes, I have

[olive coral]

But if the people I'm playing against are just TOO good, or the team I'm up against is just facerolling my team, why stick around and "get my shit pushed in" (a quote from either BF3 or 4 soldiers lmao) when I can just leave and join another one that I'll have more fun in?

[slender epoch]

i quit out of 4 games in a row last night lol all teams were getting slammed

[proven oriole]

because it's being a good sport toughing out a hard time

[olive coral]

I never understood that stubbornness of people who refuse to leave even when they're miserable

[proven oriole]

you gotta let others win sometimes

[olive coral]

Toughing it out I get, I don't leave every single match I'm losing. It's not about winning.

[pulsar nacelle]

Idk. If you start caring about your stats or w/l ratio. It becomes such a chore

[proven oriole]

I been playing battlefield since 1942

[pulsar nacelle]

To each their own

[olive coral]

But when I'm being dunked on, stomped, have no chance in the fight, I'm being basically bullied lol... Nah I'm outta there.

[proven oriole]

got my account reset stat padding in bf2 and never cared about stats ever since

[slow rapids]

i really only leave the matches if my team is getting absolutely slammed and its basically just wasting time to stay, id rather go next. if its at least somewhat redeemable then ill generally stay

[pulsar nacelle]

I see it differently. I see it as a challenge

[proven oriole]

we used to air drop the truck on strike at karkand into hotel and glitch into the wall and shoot people from inside lmfaoo

ever since then never took a bf game seriously

[olive coral]

Yeah for me it's not about stats or w/l at all, just purely fun and the idea of my precious little free time being wasted in misery lol can't deal with that.

[idle kelp]

Holy memory unlocked

[olive coral]

Exactly that

[pulsar nacelle]

I should re download 2042

[slow rapids]

dont lol

[olive coral]

Why when BF6 exists

[pulsar nacelle]

So I can fly in the tornado

[young heart]

Any else have issue getting in a portal server?

[slow rapids]

specialist system 😔

[spiral timber]

Damn
you'll have to wait for support then
i hope they're quick for you

[uncut cobalt]

Imagine calling golmud massive

It's just an ordinary large map to battlefield standards

[pulsar nacelle]

You know

They could just...idk

Make a large map to battlefield standards

Hehe just a crazy thought

[proven oriole]

you're asking EA to do their job bro

aint HAPPENING

[pulsar nacelle]

My fault I'm sorry

[uncut cobalt]

I won't deny that I'm excited for it. But still . Out of all of the battlefield 4 maps they could have chosen this is probably the most boring

[pulsar nacelle]

Recycling maps is just so boring

[uncut cobalt]

Damavand peak would've been better

[slender epoch]

never had to leave out of this many hopeless games bf1/5 i typically stayed even through the worst lobbys

[proven oriole]

dang, I kinda expected long time player corleone to be in this server

dude was an absolute MENACE as commander

[wise cloak]

yup problem is when you keep getting back into the same match. I wonder what it would be like to have populated servers with an attempt at balancing teams. Have to say atleast bots do somewhat try to cap objectives or sit outside it waiting for a signal to cap and they do wait for revive as well. But their vehicle play is horrendous.

[slender epoch]

at least with persistent servers it alleviates getting thrown into repetitive maps and incites a more genuine experience

[tropic imp]

i'm okay with recycling maps as long as they feel newish and hold to the old standards. If they are good maps. Obviously some new shit too.

[candid sphinx]

Bigger maps isn’t gonna magically make bf6 better. 2042 had big maps and it that didn’t help that game at all

[tropic imp]

I do feel like the gameplay has really kind of nose dived the last 3-4 weeks Especially in the jets.

[wise cloak]

I must say its been along time since I got killed by a jet. Sure there sthe bot issues but players usually go straight for the jets yet its pretty much always a bot flying there must be something undesirable for them at the moment.

[slow rapids]

I think Golmud is a good example of a "remake" but functionally being a new map from what it looks like. The general shape/routes are the same, but the gameplay therein is very different based on the trailers and whats been shown

[tropic imp]

i kill in them, but am getting so much pressure from everywhere now. Helis seem to be able get into HQ now and camp the runway. So they are locking on you before you can even evade. Pretty wild if the other teams jets are airborn

[gentle zodiac]

Anyone else notice that they can't select Lang's default skin anymore?

[tropic imp]

The base AA is either godlike or complete garbage it seems

[slow rapids]

yeah its bugged

[gentle zodiac]

Lovely.

[summer stone]

Is it too late to make deleting Blackwell Fields part of season 3?

[wise cloak]

one of my favourite maps its actually runs very well cause there is pretty much nothing on it Eastwood is a nightmare

it looks cool though

[summer stone]

Right behind 2042s Kaleidoscope as worst BF map

[slender epoch]

one of the main reasons why i personally loved golmud. was the attack jet gameplay. sucks that it’s non existent in this game :((

can’t even make loadouts

[nocturne pebble]

just delete the last section and it would be a great map. the area with 3 flags ruins it

[slender epoch]

i had 117 service stars on attacks jets alone in bf4 lol

[gentle zodiac]

I'd rather they fix the PAX ATP to show the actual PAX default skin, instead of NATO's.

[tropic imp]

plenty of damage can be done with jets if you have skill. Right now they are pressured so much that they can't do much. With that being said I agree.... They could of introduced a new jet, and loadouts to s3. Not to mention air radar is not there...

[steel zephyr]

Battlefield is dead

[slender epoch]

doesn’t help that every time i get into one there’s a silk on my 6.

[steel zephyr]

We need to make battlefield more inclusive to revive it

[tropic imp]

thats how it always seems to be in the last 2 battlefields. Ambushes and whoever gets the jump on the other wins. Which is fine but not having like decoupled freelook, air radar, and other ways of detecting your threats sucks. Not to mention being painted, and locked from various diff sources.

they give you such a small air space to play in that you can't resolve air combat without being forced into another jets cannons by someone on the ground

[hallow geode]

What we need is more construction sites

[steel zephyr]

Make battlefield inclusive again

[slender epoch]

trust me if we played against active radar spam then developing a counter to it was only natural. something just makes it feel like doesn’t want me to fly no more

[steel zephyr]

I want all my furry friends to feel safe and respected here

[idle kelp]

It held skip revive gg

[wise cloak]

It certainly does feel that way even more so during the week. I find alot more of my fun coming from understanding how to make bots do things feels like I am playing a strategy game sandbox. Coming down to which team can utilize bots better as well as use vehicles of course.

[tropic imp]

being able to dive in attack, pull straight up and or back or somehow either gain altitude was really decent. Now your only hope with camping is to pull an aggressive maneuver, flare, and drop below radar and evade incoming cannon fire. It's pretty horrible if your being camped

you can't loop/yoyo or anything because it's all interrupted by the ground. Helis seem to be like really causing major harm now too. I'm not sure what they changed but it feels even worse. Not a great state to launch golmund in. When will we see tuesdays patch notes?

[slender epoch]

have you played attack chopper on eastwood yet? lol the cwis fires at any projectiles so now we got choppers camping spawn and spamming heats

[tropic imp]

nah i'm just a jet guy. I like the nightbird a bit...but i don't really play it

[worldly trail]

New Sobek City takes that mantle, not proudly

[wise cloak]

I have to say bots being on your squad also an improvement. I remeber when the game laucnhed I would be in a matcha all by myself. Game start animation my soldier looking to the left and there was no squad mate in sight 🤣 .

[tropic imp]

yeah New Sobek City is worse than blackwell i think. Blackwell changes things up. It's prob shit for infantry players but kind of fun for vehicle players. Jets have to fly really weird like on there to not be instant killed. it is pretty intense. Mostly in a bad way

[worldly trail]

There are too many tanks. A common BF6 issue.

[tropic imp]

i kind of like tanks if it's balanced or can be countered. Not a fan of how some of them can play especially on operations :S....

[wise cloak]

I agree. Not sure what its for or who asked for it. Doesnt flow very well even at peak traffic times with actual players. Usually who spawn kills first wins thats about it. some underground tunnels would be an improvement.

[tropic imp]

with lots of tanks at least they can attempt to fight each other. Or if jets/helis are around it can be balanced. But not when they have a chain of engineers repairing 1 tank and they are blasting. Feels awful.

[worldly trail]

I hope Blackwell gets escalation after the rework

[tropic imp]

i'd rather not even worry about a rework and just move on. I thought we learned a lesson in 2042 reworking maps

it felt like the game hardly changed... Some of the reworks made me sad too. At least they are only doing 2 maps i guess. I'd rather just they put efforts elsewhere and let us have dedicated servers and map rotations that excluded those maps 😛

[wise cloak]

wait it doesnt have it WHAT

[worldly trail]

It only has conquest

For the biggest modes

[wise cloak]

breakthrough as well I swear I have played breakthrough

[lapis bloom]

got my fingers crossed for the reworks of these maps

[wise cloak]

I havent played much escalation but blackwell feilds makes so much sense for it thats odd

[worldly trail]

Oh yeah I consider that like medium but it is technically "all out Warfare"

It does have breakthrough

[tropic imp]

i feel like battlefield 6 needs me in the air but i'm pretty frustrated with the game right now. Hope we get tuesdays patch notes soon

[white basin]

Bro the M20 feels so good on redsec

[kind bane]

did they made some netcode changes? Cuz rn it's the most unpleasant experience. Dying as late as 300ms behind cover and dumping whole mags into enemies just to deal 24dmg

[white basin]

Nah just u

[wise cloak]

I see fair enough its more specifically to have a break from all the conquest its usally what my friends and I play seems to be the game mode most maps are made for. Other games modes are abit of a mixed bag for me

[tropic imp]

yeah, escalation, breakthru, and conquest are all bf6 needs for gamemodes. I guess sometimes rush was good in past titles. It's kind of lack luster when you dip down to smaller engagements. I use to love 128 conquest in 2042 :X 64 is okay in bf6 but anything less then that the game feels dead or it's like not enough threat. I want large scale battles not like counterstrike or rainbow six game play 😄

it's suppose to be a battlefield not a skirmish

operations is good too...kind of pieces together 2 maps which i like.

[magic belfry]

You never learn do you? 🤦‍♂️

[pulsar nacelle]

Wtf is this

[wise cloak]

negative attention is still attention

[devout sedge]

Why do you get more recoil when using a 1-5x scope. You should be more accurate when using it shouldn't you?

Specifically on the 4-5x range

[wise cloak]

I didnt know that if its true. Thought the penalty/balance was the attachment cost

[modest jackal]

That's just a phenomenon.

In reality, the lower the FoV is, the more the Recoil is visually higher.

And vice versa.

[devout horizon]

do u think DICE has statistics of what % of players are playing what class overall

im looking at my CQ server and over half of each team is engineer

would love to know how it differs between titles with locked class weapons

[wise cloak]

makes sense only other class that can do anything to armor is scout. SO if your running into armor all the time why would you play anything else

[devout horizon]

thats the point, when the game had class locked gear, u still didnt as many engineers bc they only had smgs or dmrs

u still had a bunch ofc, carbines too
