[vale grail]

if it was more-so a disabling maneuverability weapon that'd be a fair balance but it's bf5 so lordy knows there's no balance there

the Flechettes crippling wings and stuff would be the better option

[scenic elm]

Average skill wise pilots will keep dying to the fliger

but the level 500 pilots that love to join the servers i play on

know how to bait out fliger shots

or usualy fight outside of AA gun range anyways

so if there are GOOD pilots on the server

there is nothing you can do

your just gona get farmed

[vale grail]

find a new server because if you're a level 500 that means you think BF5 is a game worth putting that type of time into.

It isn't.

[scenic elm]

i think i just have shit luck

lol

i ether get a cheater, a level 500 pilot sweat , a level 500 staghound tryhard or a mix of the 3

[solid hinge]

Add me for ps4 bfV thehighestjohn

[vale grail]

Seriously, there's plenty of people on BF1 that don't know what the sun looks like but thankfully you can avoid them because they pack hunt in platoons, their egos are more brazenly strutted about than a peacock during mating season. They kill the fun because you're either doing nothing on their team or fighting them practically alone on the enemy team because the glue guzzling randoms don't even try to take down the sweats.

[vale grail]

Not much better on console sadly.

[scenic elm]

unless you don't get cheaters !

of the calibre that we get on pc that is

because you get mouse and keyboard users i guess

[vale grail]

PSN finally cracked down on console cracking.

they'll just fry your PS4 or 5 these days, as they should've done to begin with.

If SOE and Microsoft lobbied for a law to be passed where they could send packet bombs to fry the routers of hackers then all of gaming would rejoice

[scenic elm]

anyways returning to BFV, there is 4 types of pilots

[vale grail]

"there's no laws protecting the hackers batman~"

[scenic elm]

ether you get the new player that can bearly fly

[vale grail]

dumbasses that go for fighter kills, sweats, slot wasters or no lifes

[scenic elm]

you get the level 80 dude that complaints in chat about fligerfaust

you get the level 500 tryhard that will Never die and get 150 kills every round

or you get the funny chinese man with 300 ping

that has aimbot on aircraft

[vale grail]

the one guy with VPN

[scenic elm]

you would think that aimbot on aircraft would be OP

but accualy it's the easiest cheater to deal with

lol

they don't know how to fly properly

so you can farm them with the fligerfaust

[vale grail]

Not even possible because aimbot only works on infantry because to 'aim' a plane, you need to fly the entire thing

[scenic elm]

not true

aimbot does work on fixed wing aircraft

[vale grail]

And mouse/keyboard doesn't handle planes well at all, I like console and controller because everyone's on the same hardware.

[scenic elm]

the bullets go everywhere in the general derection he's looking at

and instantly headshot you

throght walls

[vale grail]

Funny how dice is tanking all its resources into a game everyone collectively hates but not even bothering to do just a security/maintainence overhaul update to BF1, HL, 4 and 5

really feeling the 'love' here.

[scenic elm]

yea

returing to the topic of aircraft cheaters

the only aircraft cheater that accualy ruins the game

is the rare two cheater stack (only saw this rare creature around 5 times)

flying a plane with a machine gun in the back

cuz they have a cheat that removes the restriction on turning

of turrets so they aimbot you while siting in the skybox

[pure bison]

someone give me a good load out for medic

[scenic elm]

what game ?

[granite wyvern]

No need - there are plenty of real players on BFV

[junior torrent]

Whatever you say pal

[granite wyvern]

I should think so (as I’m right)

[junior torrent]

Yeah whatever

[granite wyvern]

You have a crazy point of view towards MP games

*I’d like to play them but without the other players lol

[scenic elm]

yea, this guy non stop talks about bots, every time i look here he talks about Bots in battlefield

for the past year unleast

AI controlled soldiers in games fanatic !

For some reason I can’t penetrate tanks

[solid hinge]

Have y'all ever smacked helis accidentally with a JDAM? It's so satisfying man

[scenic elm]

Bf4 ?

Its probobly the APS Eating every shell

[granite wyvern]

He needs a forum full of AI members only, then he can chat to bots about his love of bots lol

[scenic elm]

[solid carbon]

[vale grail]

which battlefield

[scenic elm]

1942

[solid carbon]

[solid hinge]

alright which dice employee thought an attack jet on Silk Road for BF4 was a good idea? I got a 40 kill streak and I'm one of the worst pilots you'll ever see, and I wasn't using hydras or jdams. No cover for vehicles or players, no stealth jet. It's so busted

[vale grail]

There's stealth jets on silk road?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZHeRfC5Fqk

[solid hinge]

I'm talking about rush

There's fantans and warthogs

But no stealth jet

You get to just squash tanks and dozens of infantry

https://youtube.com/watch?v=-blq0R06Cg0&si=06t4bczOoF6vRFHF

[vale grail]

Oh, you should've specified game mode, yeah that IS pretty jank.

Is there AA at all?

As in the AA tank?

[solid hinge]

Nope

I think there's helis but I can't remember

There's no AA at bases

Everyone runs iglas and stingers so that's a bit of a pain

[humble mason]

How do I fix infinite black loading screen on startup for Battlefield 1

[vale grail]

AA mine is your only hope then

[solid hinge]

Basically yeah

[small patrol]

Battlefield 3 CO-OP any one??

[upbeat turret]

Asking the real questions 💪🏼

Unfortunately I don't play BF3 since the PS3 days and never got it on PC

[vale grail]

BF3 has co-op campaign?

just looked it up, yet another reason why the older games are better, just more to offer...

[junior torrent]

from what I remember, the AI there is unforgiving

[lone sluice]

i wish i knew how infested bf5 is with hackers. now it makes sense why its 4 dollars on steam

[junior torrent]

if only theres an alternative way to play multiplayer...

[lone sluice]

?

[junior torrent]

its ai bots

[lone sluice]

PvE?

[junior torrent]

yhes

[lone sluice]

nahh

btw, is it true that they dont ban players anymore?

so everyone can just cheat without even hiding it?

[junior torrent]

brother

2042 is the first BF game to have AC

[lone sluice]

tf

[junior torrent]

well ...

technically

I think BF BC2 through 4 had relied on 3rd party AC

Punkbuster

but they ditched AC for BF1 and 5

[lone sluice]

damn

[junior torrent]

so yeah

[vale grail]

Sounds like a fun and calming challenge

[junior torrent]

the fact you can instantly die and have no checkpoint

really bogs down the experience

[compact oxide]

Battlefield 1 and 5 had fair fight anticheat

[limber bough]

It's useless

[dusk bridge]

Is it worth it to get BFV now?

or is the game dead?

[limber bough]

If you're on pc and want to play against cheaters

Sure

[vale grail]

PC Battlefield's dead because of hackers, far as I've heard.

[junior torrent]

not every match

from my experience

just avoid conquest

[vale grail]

Quick question; What lobotomized buffoon thought the M2 Carbine was a fully automatic rifle with the fire rate of a M60?!

It's a semi-auto rifle, not a laser.

[scenic elm]

Let me check my notes real quick

The M2 carbine was a Select Fire variant of the M1 carbine ! So fully automatic for pepole Who don't understand gun terminology

With a RPM of 775 rounds a minute !

In real life

[true fable]

suffering in the region im in

language barrier in the chat and server description in bf1

also some games mostly server owners trying to put bots in their game?

[vale grail]

Fair enough, technical error on my end, however the fire rate is 775, not 837.

[scenic elm]

Honestly, its not that big a diffrence

There are other historicly inaccurate guns

But the M2 carbine ain't one of em

[vale grail]

I know, the agony of BFV's 'codification' is sickening

[scenic elm]

Oh no a reflex sight from 1947 in my ww2 game !?

[granite wyvern]

Must be fun playing video games with your history book on your lap

[solid hinge]

not encountered a single hacker in roughly 8 hours

also i honestly think battlefield 3 and 4, if they were to be remastered, would be amazing

as long as they kept the battlepack bullshit out

[scenic elm]

i would say that 3 and 4 don't realy need a remaster, bad company 1 and 2 would do better with a remaster

a bad company remastered collection would be fire (ala command and conquer remastered collection)

[upper berry]

I doubt dice will ever do a remastered.

[scenic elm]

exactly so it's kinda pointless arguing anyways

[upper berry]

(Bring back maps or weapons from previous games don’t count as a remastered)

Portal did great but that’s a a lot of work from the bare ground up

[solid hinge]

3 does in my opinion

it'd look much better with modern graphics and gameplay

bit dated of a game

[scenic elm]

well what would you do with 3s gameplay

4 is kinda just 3 but better (exept maybe some of the maps)

[upper berry]

^ all around better xD

Ngl, BF4 is prob their most perfect child. BF3 is dice’s iconic.

[scenic elm]

i never realy liked 3 or 4 much so i would say BC2 and 2142 are perfect and totaly have no flaws

[upper berry]

Ngl, a remastered of a game can be good and bad at the same time. Would be nice to see. At the same time. You can make a whole new game set of remastering an old game. Some games is also tend to be better non remastered.

Any previous games before BF3/4 would be nice for a remastered. If they do, I’ll be very surprised. If it does come out. Most people will tend to go back to the OG one for the look and feel of the game.

[scenic elm]

most people would probably play the remaster of 3 seeing how crap Battlelog is

considering it does not work for like 40% of people buying it on steam based of the forums

[upper berry]

Mmm 🤔 battle log is amazing ngl. It was barely touched or updated. So they had to cut support for it.

[upper berry]

40% of players is playing from Steam? That explains a lot when EA app exists

[scenic elm]

that's not what i ment

[upper berry]

Wym?

[solid hinge]

i hate battlelog but it works

like

it's inconvinient

but it works

[scenic elm]

yea but it sucks

[scenic elm]

allot of people buy the game on steam now, and complain about battlelog being crap

it's allot cheaper on steam most of the time then on EA app

[solid hinge]

yeah got bf3 for 1.99

[scenic elm]

i mean, it does not matter anyways because even if you own it on steam it boots up the EA app Exe of the game

[solid hinge]

so i am NOT complaining

[solid hinge]

lol i just go thru battlelog manually

[scenic elm]

i want the steam achievements

[solid hinge]

yeah me too

it still counts as steam bf3 for me

there are botted servers on bf3..

[JAH] Warriors #06 is botted

[acoustic cedar]

Any recommendations on a gun for BF1? I know about the hell riegel, but what’s a decent sniper / LMG

Basically what’s meta

[solid hinge]

yo what the fuck is wrong with bf3

first it kicked me off a server for pb error, i fixed it

and now i can't launch a game from chrome???

@scenic elm

can you help yo

[scenic elm]

idk what's the issue lol

maybe the dudes on the steam forums can help you

lol

[lost zenith]

Why the sudden surge in players numbers on bfv on steam charts. Was there a discount or something? Happy to see it alive

[acoustic cedar]

huge one yea

It's $4

[lost zenith]

Oh nice time to get back on it i guess. Always loved the destruction and sniping there

[west sapphire]

is it worth to play bf4 cause its my fav bf game

i played it on ps3

and now im downloading it on pc

[solid hinge]

yup

[upper berry]

I always buy the game from its official launcher. So I don’t have to deal with my PC booting up 2 launchers all the time. Also, I can close down Steam launcher to free up the background load

[limber lake]

is bf5 getting more players because of the sale? thinking about getting it

[junior torrent]

I recommend it for WR

It's not out yet though

[west sapphire]

What is WR

Like VR

[scenic elm]

that's a good reason to buy it on EA app

but if it's cheaper, il buy it there

As long as it's not a key website, il rather not have to deal with buying a stolen key and giving it back

[true fable]

ohhh

bf1 only costs $1 in ea app

but it's no dlcs

rn im playing it with xbox game pass

with premium aand dlcs

what happens if my game pass expires (with dlcs and premium pass), decide to buy the base game, and keep playing it? i will only access the base contents only?

[scenic elm]

probobly best to buy it on steam then

for the DLC's

i think you should lose the DLC's when it expires but you should ask someone if that's how it works

im not an expert

[junior torrent]

Pray steam version launches correctly

[true fable]

some server owners are boring. they can just interrupt the battle by changing the map

and sometimes fixing the game

Honestly, a great selling point would be an overhaul to the Platoon Mechanics and UI. because needing to go onto a website to make a platoon logo is stupid, not to mention capping one out at 100 people too.

[frank sierra]

why think about getting it? Just get it lol. I had some steam credits too so I basically got it for under $3 (and I'm quite literally broke and in debt lmfao, so if I can afford it, so can you)

[vale grail]

They're on my bookshelf, but if a game's set into a real era of human history then I expect it to be historically accurate as much as possible. Alternate history such as Wolfenstein and Man in The High Castle are fine as long as it's thematically coherent.

[scenic elm]

Man in the high castle....thematiclly coherent

[vale grail]

Well it's either that or that whole 'cowboys vs aliens' crap

[scenic elm]

funi Ufo

i mean, BFV does not have that many more compleatly thematiclly non sensical weapons compared to BF1

outside of the Mas49/44 , trench carbine and the other rare ww1 weapons it does not have that many

[vale grail]

It was just a woke wackjob's feverdream of rewritten history.

[scenic elm]

uhhhhh , how does having historicly inaccurate weapons have to do with politics again ?

unless BF1 is woke propaganda because every other soldier has a tommy gun on a map set in 1917

[vale grail]

The game as a whole.

[vale grail]

Look, if you're going to be this way everytime I post instead of having an actual conversation I'll just block you.

[scenic elm]

ah yea talking to yanks is like that usualy

[vale grail]

You're just a passive gaslighter that'd sooner be asinine rather than hold an actual conversation.

[scenic elm]

we went from firearms being just as inaccurate to woke and i don't want to hold a conversation ?

like randomly

you swiched to woke

lol

[granite wyvern]

As far as I’m concerned good gameplay is priority. I’ll leave history lessons to documentaries

[solid hinge]

hey does anyone know why i'm not getting any bf3 achievements?

played 3 rounds of gun master, no achievement

@scenic elm since you play the game i'd guess you know?

do i have to win?? it says "complete"

[scenic elm]

i'd asume so

[solid hinge]

fucking hell

it's impossible for me to win

ig i'll try once i'm better or at worst use steam achievement manager if i don't end up winning anytime soon

[scenic elm]

just get some mates to do achievements i would say

probably someone on the steam forums will be willing to help

[solid hinge]

what's the fastest way to get to rank 45?

[solid hinge]

is hosting a private lobby possible?

[scenic elm]

oh it's been a long time since i played 3 so i can't remember

[scenic elm]

you can probably hop on a empty server

but if worst comes to worst, your gona have to host a server somehow

i never looked in to how you do it for BF3

it's a server rental system if im not mistaken

[solid hinge]

steamachievementmanager exists

i won't buy a server

[scenic elm]

well, if you say so

[solid hinge]

i'll try play on close quarter maps as medic that should fetch me quite a lot of xp per game

i wanna focus on the rank 45 achievement a bit more than the others because it seems to be one of the most time consuming ones

grand bazaar is imo the best tdm map, can't find any servers with it on right now though

did earlier today

[scenic elm]

i would not focuse on it because you will get XP over time, you might as well do the other achievement's while you get progress to level 45 in the background

[solid hinge]

where do i get dog tags from?

[scenic elm]

you get them for compleating certain chalanges if im not mistaken

[solid hinge]

"took your first enemy dog tag"

[scenic elm]

ah

[solid hinge]

that's not what the achievement says

[scenic elm]

you got to knife kill someone

[solid hinge]

you've got to be fucking kidding me

did they purposefully make them hard

[scenic elm]

it's not that hard

It's MUCH worse in BF4

because people can counter knife you

as your probably aware

[solid hinge]

100% completing bf3 and bf4 will be a pain in my ass

[scenic elm]

[scenic elm]

BF1 is preaty easy to 100%

in comparison

[solid hinge]

actually i'm not, i didn't have much of a chance to enjoy bf4 when i had gamepass for a month and i grew up playing 3 & 4 cracked

this is my first time i've bought them and properly gotten to playing any battlefield games

[scenic elm]

so in BF4 if you knife someone from the Front , if they press the knife key at any point, you die

[solid hinge]

but, i got a pretty serious question

i've enjoyed battlefield 1 & 5

BUT

they've started to lag unbareably

out of nowhere

[scenic elm]

lag as in Lag or framerate issues ?

[solid hinge]

i played ~8 hours and now i get insane lag

not ping

like fps pretty sure

[scenic elm]

so framerate

[solid hinge]

yeah

[scenic elm]

your hardware has some issue

[solid hinge]

it's unplayable

and it occurs after ~8 hours? wtf?

[scenic elm]

if it's consistent

it must be something going on with your computer

[solid hinge]

i'm around the min reqs of the game, i should be able to run it at low settings just fine

[scenic elm]

if there is a computer shop, you should bring it there for them to check it up

[solid hinge]

yeah but i'm 14 and i've been asking for my dad to get it to the company so they can check why the fuck it's such a mess right now

he told me i'll probably just get a new one sometime this year

now if he goes back on his promise i'm going to arrange for the pc to get checked myself

i'll pay for it, idc

[solid hinge]

noting that i've been asking for ~3 years now

had this pc for the past 5 years

[scenic elm]

i've had a similiar issue years back, till my PC started black screening and it turned out to be the power supply failing

but it could be anything

[solid hinge]

it's not a psu problem

i'm just gonna wait a few months see if i get a new pc

if i do it'll be better since i'll be able to run bfv at least with high settings if i wanted to (probably)

i wanna get a pc that's really good but also within like a ~1k budget

[scenic elm]

you could look in to gaming laptops or cheaper gaming PC's i guess

as long as it can run hardware demanding games that came out 2 years back on very high, it's good in my book lol

[solid hinge]

i mean my dad got me this as a birthday gift back in 2020

well 2 months early so 2019

there's a shit ton of dust, WAY TOO MUCH i assure you gathered up in my pc and BEHIND my pc

and there's nobody wanting to clean it, i can't do it myself cause i have some back problems at the moment

my parents don't want to open the pc and use something like compressed air to clean it which is stupid as shit

my front fans in my case don't even work

[scenic elm]

if it's a laptop ? sure it's not that easy but if it's a desktop pc, that's dumb

lol

[solid hinge]

desktop pc

they don't want to fucking open it for some reason i've been asking for 3 years to help me clean it or send it for repairs

i can't even run fortnite without MASSIVE lag

therefore i don't play it

[scenic elm]

lol

[solid hinge]

they tell me it's not possible for me to lag this much and some other shit

i'm going to give them some sort of ultimatum, either you help me do it or you give me the tools and let me do it myself, maybe get my brother to help me or just watch youtube because it's unbareable that i can only play a select few games i have and some older games in general without lagging so much it becomes unplayable

[scenic elm]

classic family issues

[solid hinge]

they don't understand anything when it comes to computers and when i try explain they try and pass it off as me overreacting

like we have 3 choices

1. help me clean it

2. let me clean it

3. send it to the company so they can repair it

for fuck sakes

there's dog shit airflow to my pc from the back as well which hinders it even more

[scenic elm]

ah yea, my old PC was missing one of it's side panels !

lol

[solid hinge]

oh my fucking god

it has a fucking

spiderweb

in the cables

i just fucking checked

it's definitely old but it still has

this has not been cleaned in so many months it's disgusting and filthy

i'm pushing it back to the corner and i'm 100% gonna get something to clean it tomorrow there's no fucking way

[scenic elm]

well reading this brings back memories of having a shit old computer left over from someone else

[solid hinge]

so like my grandma comes around and cleans our house every so often for some reason and we used to tell her not to mess with the pc but i never thought she would legit stop it all together now it's miserable seeing this

[solid hinge]

yeah but it's not exactly an old computer

it still has about 5 years left before being an old computer

[scenic elm]

huh

i would just leave the computer alone till you can get it checked

you could go to the computer shop or call them if they have a phone number online

and ask them how much does cleaning and a check up cost

That's how i did it back then

[solid hinge]

i'm 14

reminding you

my parents would not let me do all 'at

[scenic elm]

you think i wasn't ?

anyways

you can just ask your parents to ask

[pulsar valve]

It just hit me that I'm old as fuck

[scenic elm]

me to

if they don't want to call the god dam computer shop then , ask someone else to do it from your family

if you can't

i got my old PC serviced back then with the help of my grandma for crying out loud

unless literly no one wants to do it, then your fucked lol

Have fun

[solid hinge]

nah bro then i'm taking it into my own hands i'm gonna use my money to arrange for a pick up from our house and delivery back

how did we go from discussing battlefield 3 achievements to this

😭

[scenic elm]

Technical issues

lol

i would not recommend doing it your self but i have no idea what the hell your family is doing, none of my businesses honestly

Best case scenario, the computer shop dudes clean the computer and it will start working fine

Also don't forget to change the thermal paste

[solid hinge]

i wanna go try get my first dog tags

i'm gonna get something to clip it as well

[scenic elm]

Easy , find a blind sniper

stab him

acquire achievement

done

[solid hinge]

installed medal

[solid hinge]

not as easy as you think

[scenic elm]

did you ever watch battlefield friends ?

the battlefield animated show on youtube ?

[tight rain]

It’s pretty unknown, probably haven’t heard of it

[scenic elm]

Imagine being a battlefield player, and never watching it

sounds like heresy

it's like being a 40k enthusiast and not watching what if the emperor had a text to speech device

or a lord of the rings fan and not reading the books

or being christian and reading the bible

[solid hinge]

no, i haven't

[scenic elm]

you need to watch it to understand basic battlefield 3 and 4 lore

the story campaign ? nah it's irelevant

[solid hinge]

oh wtf

now i got the gun master achievement

lmao

[scenic elm]

that show is accualy the story of battefield

[solid hinge]

seems like i needed to relaunch

[scenic elm]

so i was wrong about the achievement

lucky you

[solid hinge]

yeah lucky me

and it's a relatively rare achievement too wtf only 4.7% have it

[scenic elm]

i don't have it too lol

never found a populated server with gun master in BF3

[solid hinge]

i did like ~2 hours ago lmao

it was 15-20 people

[scenic elm]

nice

[solid hinge]

had fun

got bored after like 3 rounds

[scenic elm]

well in my case i just got back in to BF2

battlefield 3 is funny

[vale grail]

For the most part, but to intentionally get things wrong to push an agenda, that's where I draw the line. Unintentional discrepancies however, isn't that big a deal if it's a genuine error.

[granite wyvern]

The guy at DICE (who no longer works for them) should not have told fans to not buy the game if they didn’t like it. That said, I play with lots of girls on BFV who all select female skins so there is a point about making the game inclusive for all over historical accuracy

[vale grail]

So... girls are unable to play a game if there's no female characters to play?

Guess I have to stop playing Portal 2, Left 4 Dead if all but Zoey or Rochelle are picked, Tomb Raider games, by that logic.

Modern or future sci-fi I don't care, but if you're to set a game, movie or any other series into a historical setting, then it's my firm belief that you should see an accurate as possible portrayal of said setting. Or otherwise specify that it's alternate history.

[granite wyvern]

No but it helps make the game more appealing to them

[vale grail]

So you'd forsake and censor history on the grounds of flattering the egos of those who couldn't be bothered to play a game if the character is of a certain gender?

[granite wyvern]

It’s a video game. Get that into perspective and let people feel engaged and happy in the community.

[vale grail]

Having customization to such an extent would be of no complaint if it were any other setting. But forget about the team of MEN who took down the Heavy Water plant in Norway I guess, it's all about some chick and her mom using their woman powers to stick it to the germans.

[granite wyvern]

Chick?

[vale grail]

I know it's a game, but even so, imagine Private Ryan, Flags of Our Fathers or band of Brothers if there were women or cyborgs instead of men.

[vale grail]

It's another way of calling a woman a woman. Such as calling a man a dude or bro.

For example.

[granite wyvern]

Again - this is an interactive medium, so let it appeal to all

[vale grail]

I'd rather maintain as much historically acurate cohesion as possible. If you like BFV, then by all means, I'm just listing the main reasons why I loathe it. Honestly to each their own, I stand by my views and thoughts, as do you. Belive whatever you'd like.

[granite wyvern]

Oh I know but highlighting your misogynistic ways

[vale grail]

Seriously? You're pulling that card?

[granite wyvern]

You are yourself with your rant on the topic (regarding a video game).

[vale grail]

Allow me to refer you to something you most likely don't even know about; There's plenty of women that saw frontline service, but not in the traditional sense of active combat such as the usual units of men. The 388th bomber regiment were an all female bomber sect of the USSR that despite given outdated planes and lackluster equipment left over from the first world war saw active combat during night raid operations with devastating success.

All this alt history does is besmirch the actual women who served their respective nations, they were spies, partisans, saboteurs and double-agents.

[granite wyvern]

Can’t believe I’m the 50 year old having to be the guy who can understand making things inclusive

[vale grail]

Refferal to one's age is irelevent when it comes to knowing what you're talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YPo8zDkvy4

Instead of defaulting me to one of the slavering 'women in game = bad' people, take a moment to really think about this.

[granite wyvern]

I know all that but it’s just noise in the context of this. It’s a game, a game for fun and a game all should be able to enjoy

[vale grail]

To deny us the right to see history as it truly was, no matter how heinous or gruesome, is to deny it ever happened to begin with.

[vale grail]

How is me explaining for the sake of clarity the things I do not enjoy stopping others from liking the game?

[granite wyvern]

Jeez you have beef. You must really hate women

[solid hinge]

dawg stfu and check out this battlefield 3 clip i hit https://medal.tv/games/battlefield-3/clips/1VEzmHjDMJeZcw/d1337qGXMWJI?invite=cr-MSxmTTIsMjE3ODAyMTc5LA

sick clip

[vale grail]

Is English not your first language?

[solid hinge]

he ain't responding he is too busy checking out the sick battlefield 3 clip i hit

[vale grail]

Also to make an addendum, it's 588th, not 388th, my bad.

[solid hinge]

you should go do that too

[granite wyvern]

What’s that lonely virgin woman hater?

[granite wyvern]

Shut up

[solid hinge]

dang

seems like an issue that @pulsar valve can handle

[vale grail]

Not just me, this guy's just gaslighting at this point, right?

[granite wyvern]

You trying to force your content down our throats and then you call your pimps when we say no?

[pulsar valve]

TL;DR?

[scenic elm]

[solid hinge]

they're arguing about women being the reason people loathe bf5 and now they're getting personal, i wanted to stop it by just sending that sick bf3 clip i hit and now i'm getting insulted too

like the fuck i do

[solid hinge]

dawg did you forget the schizo pills

who forced what down your throat

i sent a sick bf3 clip cause y'all were arguing & you insult me

seems like you need to get your life in order

[scenic elm]

it's : it's just a game who cares if there is women

vs

not historical accurate woke propaganda reeeee

[vale grail]

Sure, I didn't like BFV due to the historical inaccuracies and KPNuts is calling me a 'virgin woman hater' in a trollish gaslighting manner.

[granite wyvern]

Exactly. But I know a guy who cares….

[scenic elm]

this is silly

[solid hinge]

we do not care

[solid hinge]

we do not care

nobody cares

[pulsar valve]

anyone arguing about BFV approximately 6 (!!!) years after the release needs to seriously be studied

[scenic elm]

exactly

[solid hinge]

your arguments are fucking dumb

shove them up your ass and go play a game you like

wahh wahh historical inaccuracy wahh wahh i ain't playing bfv

like

shut the fuck up we don't care go play something else it's that shrimple

[vale grail]

Then why bother replying at all? I dislike the game that you like, that's the long and short of it.

[solid hinge]

it's been 6 years since bfv came out

[solid hinge]

why would you start this conversation in the first place

do you lack critical thinking skills

[scenic elm]

oh boy here we go (Get's popcorn)

[vale grail]

Honestly, I'm just tired of people censoring history. This game was a prominent example that despite being six years old, is still relevent even now due to it being active.

[pulsar valve]

No one is censoring anything

Move on

[granite wyvern]

And no one cares about your “stfu look at my crap clips stuff.”

[solid hinge]

you should unplug your router and touch grass if that's the case

[scenic elm]

this whole thing started over the M2 carbine btw

[solid hinge]

someone must be unhappy with their wife

😢

[vale grail]

If that's the case then wouldn't the former lead of BFV's development still be employed? I don't mean to come off as snarky or anything, I was looking for an actual conversation about this. Didn't mean for it to come off as some ragepost.

That being said, I'll drop the subject from here on out.

[pulsar valve]

Yes please

[vale grail]

On a semi-related note, is there any way to get the BFV pre-order weapons that're in BF1 anymore?

[scenic elm]

it seems to be impossible

[vale grail]

Because I heard an older rumor that if you got the ultimate BFV edition upgrade, it'd give you the five pre-order weapons because they were for the ultimate edition BFV game.

[scenic elm]

huh

[solid hinge]

what is an ultimate edition bfv

first time hearing that

[vale grail]

Okay, you know the store menu?

In one of the tabs there's an upgrade for the BFV game.

[scenic elm]

isin't that just the Steam version of BFV ?

it all ready has the ultimate edition upgrade if im not mistaken

my mate has it and he does not have the Pre order DLC weapons for BF1

i assume you just had to have pre ordered it to get it, end of story (but someone could double check just in case)

[vale grail]

Maybe, but I still need to try, worst case scenario is that it doesn't work, and I've wasted my time. Best case scenario is that I found a way to get the BF1 pre-order weapons unlocked.

It's a slog to say the least, to get those weekly challenges done.

[solid hinge]

@scenic elm for the support & infantry ribbon achievements i gotta get the medals? or just each of the ribbons once over time

[scenic elm]

which game ?

i asume 3 but i have no idea

i never tried to 100% BF3

[solid hinge]

3

yeah

[wild jacinth]

maybe this sounds sad but how do i buy a game i own on EA for a friend lol?

and if we can't figure that out

if I buy the steam version for a friend. Can he just use the origin version or is it a legit steam version of BF3?

[scenic elm]

if you buy origin games on steam it will just add it to your origin library

if you boot up the game throght steam it just opens it throght the EA launcher

simple as

[frank sierra]

a lot of bf players need to touch grass. for example, ik that a significant portion of the older bf players don't like it when others are having fun 🤣

anything sub-optimal or what might make the chances of winning 1% lower is heresy to them.

I could be prioritising reviving people as medic as a challenge (and because the enemy is stupid and just lets me run around reviving everyone), and it's somehow a problem even though im winning 9/10 of my games doing that.

the problem being that im not shooting the enemy.

[thorn terrace]

There is so much to do in this, that I feel these old timers are going to hate me. Just played my first match and I was all over. Shootin' torpedos, I was in a blimp for a bit (got 2 planes with the AA on that sitting duck) Got on a Dreadnaught for awhile, and couldn't tell if the shells from that helped. But I got another plane with it's AA. I feel like the planes are sinister, if they get over the troops. So these old timers, if they get pissed about me jumping in an AA gun...well, they may thank me later. "That one's on the house, Pops!"

[vale grail]

First time on BF1?

[wild jacinth]

How are youguys on ps plus coping with online play since Sony raised the prices on Ps plus?

becaause I used to get it so cheap like a year or so ago and now its just like impossible to get ps plus because no ones selling it cheap anymore

[thorn terrace]

Yeah, it's immense and overwhelming on the servers. I'm not gonna lie, haha. About to go back in there, here in a bit. A lot of action and a lot of highly skilled snipers, I have noticed...So the hunt is on, it seems. In fact, it was a sniping compilation that got me into this game. Not that I will be maining the scout; But rather, that I thought the maps looked incredible

[vale grail]

If you need pointers let me know, I've almost every class to level 50 except for horses.

[thorn terrace]

Right on, and will do. The horse seems like a burden. Is it actually useful on certain maps, would you say?

[wild jacinth]

man i just had the most battle royale moment in firestorm tonite

guy was just camping the stairs of a house the whole time. I run into his house go upstairs and he just lets his tommy rip

[solid hinge]

It can be broken on any map, horses actually have good movement, it’s not clunky at all

[thorn terrace]

I just got wrecked on a map with horses. Suiz I think it was. Word up, then. I'm going to try using them if I see 'em

[bronze ice]

Ain’t played in forever, which do I download? 2042 or V?

[vale grail]

horse doesn't know how to horse, you say left horse say glitch out and freeze in place while enemy shoot you

[sudden radish]

any tips on how to get kills with the C96 in BF1?

[tight rain]

Shoot the enemy

[granite wyvern]

lol

[junior torrent]

Aim and shoot

[solid hinge]

i get most of my xp playing infantry maps as medic going around reviving and healing

lol

[granite wyvern]

I do those along with the killing

I especially risk myself for squad mates

[final mantle]

Hello, I couldn't find anything on the internet for Easter Eggs to find at the end of season 6 for season 7 of BF2042. Did you find anything?

[quick night]

yo you can roll in bfv

[frank sierra]

yeah I've yet to figure out which servers have those maps. I'm guessing by infantry you mean those smaller tighter maps.

that shit's gotta be FIRE for a medic/support.

I played a somewhat-infantry map yesterday as support. I could just spin my mouse wheel forever on which I have my ammo pouch bound to.

but oddly enough, I didn't get very high up on the leaderboard compared to what medic can get? 🤔

I was basically at the very bottom even though I went like 18-2 with countless teammate resupplies (istg I resupplied like over 100 people that game)

This is why I like medic. So much easier to get score on.

[fallow root]

Personally, I'm tired of BF1, but it has its charm over BF5 and vice versa

[solid hinge]

grand bazaar tdm is amazing

played on operation metro i think it was conquest yesterday, FULL lobby and i was racking in score like crazy, i should've clipped some of the moments from that lobby

got quite laggy at times because there were so many grenades and what not flying at the same time

[bronze tangle]

hi guys, for some reason I can play bf4 even though I only have bf1 installed. is this normal?

I own 1 and 5 but not 4

[junior torrent]

Did you try to click on servers to play or campaign

What did the message say

[bronze tangle]

it says that I need to buy the game first

but I can see the multiplayer servers

[junior torrent]

Then that's how they designed the menu hub

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bronze tangle]

ah I see I see, thanks

[wispy bear]

Should I play bf4 or bf1?

[bronze tangle]

can't say anything to bf4 but bf1 is set on ww1 and that is good or bad depending on the person, it has insane graphics for an 8 year old game

but the servers are pretty dead at weekdays

[stray spade]

hi

im vaas

[wispy bear]

I can't run bf1 properly I use an igpu

Got bf4 recently but can't find any good servers

And alot of them are TDM and I didn't get bf4 for tdm

[frank sierra]

I actually haven't tried tdm in bf5 yet

I tried tdm in bf1 but it was honestly kinda... idk. Just less interesting over stuff like Rush or Operations and conquest and such

[frank sierra]

@solid hinge are we talking about the same game though? which battlefield?

can't see any maps with the name "grand bazaar" unless it's the name of a server

[frank sierra]

yup I've played and tried a lot of games recently and it's pretty obvious to me that nowadays all games could run at 144fps with some INSANE graphics if the companies simply optimised their games properly.

battlefield 1 and 5 are pretty well-optimised IMO though.

but some other big titles, not so much.

[granite wyvern]

You need to play the objective as well, with flags marked - you run with squad? Get many squad revives?

[frank sierra]

yeah I try to stick to squad

but ppl had an issue with me not really shooting the enemy, just running to the next guy to revive

even though sometimes I would manage to revive up to 10 or 20 guys within a minute and that would literally do so fucking much

[granite wyvern]

I try to kill close by enemy first - then revive

[frank sierra]

yeah there was no need

no enemies really threatening

hence why i wasnt dying and hence why the guys i revived were living to try again

but like

ppl say they hate medics that don't revive and then they also hate when medics DO revive like bruh

if i can revive a bunch of people, i'd rather do that as medic.

[granite wyvern]

If you’re reviving/resupplying, playing the objective with squad mates you should be right up the board

[frank sierra]

🤷‍♀️

[frank sierra]

yeah I was top 5

ppl still complain :/

as far as I can see the guys who were sniping from a distance doing nothing were a bigger issue but idk

they had <3000 score and many deaths

[granite wyvern]

Ah sorry, thought you said you ended up not very high

[frank sierra]

oh no I only end up low on the board when I play support

idk how to play that role

I'll get many kills AND resupply everyone but i'll still have like 4k score max

weird role

in bf5

[granite wyvern]

I only play Support on Underground now when running shotgun

[frank sierra]

as support I feel like I'd rather use crate and just focus on the killing fully but

crates in bf5 don't have that proximity resupply feature

[granite wyvern]

Yeah I use crate

[frank sierra]

it relies on ur team not being morons lol

[granite wyvern]

Run with crate at start bumping into team mates

[frank sierra]

vs pouch I can just spam with my mouse wheel onto everyone

bumping into them?

[granite wyvern]

Yeah if you carry crate, nearby team mates get resupplied

[frank sierra]

in bf5?

[granite wyvern]

Yep

[frank sierra]

I thought it doesn't

to be fair the reddit post i checked was pretty old but

hmm

okay

[granite wyvern]

It’s how I get to top of leaderboard before cappping first flag

[frank sierra]

alright ill try the crate

though even in bf1 i would use crates situationally

like if we're in defensive positions close together

crate >>>

but if everyone is scattered and constantly on the move

pouch >>>

[granite wyvern]

Crate also gives assault anti tank ammo

[frank sierra]

oh yeah ik

but in bf5 there's usually like those ammo stations here or there on the maps

[quartz shadow]

Any good tips to gain experience, unlock weapons/suits/... and become a better player on bfv?

[scenic elm]

you can do combined arms coop missions solo for money to buy new weapons

all of them can be done solo pretty easily on hard

[glass frost]

Join my lobby

[quartz shadow]

I didn't know them. Thank you

[quartz shadow]

I'd like

[solid hinge]

for the first time i've just gotten 30 kills in a game

i'm so happy

Congrats

I’m still working at getting my first 100 kills in a round

[glass frost]

Okay join up

[solid hinge]

is the bf3 shortcut bundle worth buying it's 7 euros

i'm enjoying the game

[bold eagle]

can someone help me with my class customization in bf1

[frank sierra]

Does anyone know how to change the HUD borders for Battlefield5? I tried using the stuff in the profsave file but changing the values doesn't really work.

[limber bough]

is the profsave set to read only?

if no it will just revert the changes

[frank sierra]

oh

wait

well no it doesn't really revert the changes

well according to notepad++ at least

beacuse it gives a popup whenever an application changes the files

i'll try read-only again just to make sure but doubt it'll randomly start working now

[heavy flint]

question
what is going on with the battlefiled 1 servers??
server browsers show only one or two active servers.
But if you go to the category, the servers that you WERE before not only not appear in the browser, but also are active?
i have no filters on

what is going on

[frank sierra]

u sure you have no filters on? IIRC the bf1 filters are a little bit buggy at times.

[heavy flint]

i just restarted them twice and it still does not want to show anything

[frank sierra]

confused the hell out of me the first time I tried using the filters

[heavy flint]

weird asf

AND annoying because it means i'll struggle with finding any games

[solid hinge]

i really don't wanna uninstall them but i'm gonna have to uninstall bf 1 & 5, they're laggy and they're taking up ~172GB which i can use for other games

sadge

i can play them from time to time when i'm at my local internet cafe which is really good though

[vale grail]

PC version of them?

[solid hinge]

yeah

i'm gonna install battlefield 4 & injustice 2 with that space now, maybe even mk11 but that's gonna be a tough thing with it being the size of battlefield 5 and 3 combined lmao

tbh i'd absolutely love remasters of old battlefield games, anything before 3 i never got to play, i'd be particularly keen on seeing a remaster of bf2, bf2mc, 2142 & bc 1&2

they all seem like great games, i'd love if they remastered them (and did not have aggressive monetization within them) and i'd probably buy them as well

[spice vortex]

BF1 soundtrack is full of bangers

[scenic elm]

you can play BF2 preaty easily as long as you have the game

[solid hinge]

i do not

[scenic elm]

you can probobly buy the CD version online

for cheaper then a Key on G2A

[solid hinge]

i'm not old enough to have witnessed the peak of games like BF2 unfortunately

well fortunately enough i was born late enough where i had the privilege of wifi and what not and NOT dial-up that must've sucked donkey balls

[scenic elm]

BF2 and 2142 had a free launcher like, 5 years ago

[slate tapir]

Alguien Español? 🇪🇦

[scenic elm]

or more

it was called BF revive

Ea shut it down because they tried to bring back battlefield heroes

That's how i got to expirence 2142

[solid hinge]

bf2 looks amazing even if it's a nearly 2 decade old game

[slate tapir]

Does anyone know why i cant kill anybody with just one knife attack? isnt that a little bit fake?

[scenic elm]

skill issue moment

[solid hinge]

honestly i can just look into revivals and stuff of older bf games and just download pirated versions of them to experience them, sure it isn't gonna be as good as it would've been back in 2005 or anything like that but it's something i'd love to do

[scenic elm]

my mate bought a collectors edition CD copy last week so it's not imposible to get

for preaty cheap

[solid hinge]

i gotta say one thing though, battlefield 3 is fun with friends lol, hopped on a tdm server today with a friend when we were at an internet cafe, 1st game i was racking in crazy score cause i was reviving him almost every 30 seconds lol and 2nd game i got 30 kills like 12 or 13 deaths but not as much score as i would've wanted cause i was playing engineer for some stupid reason

[scenic elm]

and for BF2 unleast there is plenty of populated servers

Only if EA continued to sell it so other people could play it. oh well

[solid hinge]

yeah, i'm not really interested in buying retail of a game older than me which has its core multiplayer functions shut down, i'd rather get it for free cause it wouldn't make much of a difference in this case

[scenic elm]

problem is, if im not mistaken the Main BF2 launcher requires you to own a legit copy of the game

[vale grail]

if you're on laptop then that'd explain the issues.

[solid hinge]

nope

on a pc

[vale grail]

Ah.

Might be outdated hardware or something, PC's a fickle platform due to the high flip-flopping of requirements.

[white glacier]

battlefield 2?

[solid hinge]

it's about 5 years old now and the specs are a bit dated, and it has a shit ton of dust within and around it, gotta clean it but i don't have the time right now due to school which means i'm gonna have to at some point get it cleaned up

[scenic elm]

yea

[fallow root]

I prefer heroes over bf2

[scenic elm]

i liked 2142 over 2

[solid hinge]

they can eat my left nut i'm gonna figure out a way to play bf2 with a cracked copy if i feel like it lol

[white glacier]

trolling

[scenic elm]

feel free to do it

[solid hinge]

it's not that i have to anyway, i got 3, 4, 1 and 5 at my disposal

[fallow root]

What do you think about heroes tbh ?

[solid hinge]

3 has to be the MOST FUN i've had with a game since i played project zomboid

[solid hinge]

didn't play it i thought it looked like shit

[fallow root]

It is not too late

[scenic elm]

if im not mistaken, in some countries allow you to pirate software you can't buy anymore, it's called abandonware, but it varries from country to country correct me if im wrong

[white glacier]

me with my steam copy of bf2 😎

[scenic elm]

i played it when i was little but i can't remember much

[fallow root]

Heroes is now a small niche community

[solid hinge]

i don't care, nobody cares in greece, pirating shit has been natural for basically anyone here who owns a pc

[scenic elm]

ah yea, classic balkan moment

lol

[white glacier]

yeah it's not really immoral if you can't even access it anymore

[solid hinge]

yeah no still looks like shit

[fallow root]

BF2 were state of the art on release i've been told

[solid hinge]

it's way too goofy for a battlefield game

[fallow root]

That is the charm of it

[scenic elm]

like TF2

[solid hinge]

not my type of game

[solid hinge]

don't compare tf2 to heroes

[fallow root]

it's like saying tf2 is not playable

[solid hinge]

tf2 is much better it has a logical and not goofy artstyle

heroes is just

goofy

[white glacier]

your opinion of bf2 will change the moment you play AIX

[solid hinge]

both are cartoony but heroes is goofy

[scenic elm]

i remember you could ride on the wing of fighter planes

[white glacier]

that mod is basically it's own game

[solid hinge]

it's like heroes tried to make a copy of tf2 but add battlefield to it

[fallow root]

Heroes was good at its core. But they went in the wrong direction. Ea became too greedy

[solid hinge]

which is why it looks bad

[solid hinge]

they always were greedy

shortcut kits for 30 euros

[fallow root]

Yes, unfortunately so weapon balance was never applicable

Heroes with proper balance could have been something

[scenic elm]

battlefield play 4 free was crap tho

it was literly just BF2 assets copy pasted in to a pay to win game

[solid hinge]

never played p4f either

[fallow root]

yes I played it during HS. spent only 20 euros on AN-94

[solid hinge]

seems like i was better off not playing it

[solid hinge]

LOL

20 EUROS FOR 1 GUN

[fallow root]

yes

[scenic elm]

war thunder moment

[solid hinge]

yeah no little me would've uninstalled that game in milliseconds

[fallow root]

I learned my lessons from heroes

[white glacier]

wait really

[solid hinge]

if i saw that shit i'd either look up cheats for the game or just uninstall it

probably the 2nd

[scenic elm]

as a fellow veteran, i have to ask, 2142 or BF2 ?

which one is better

in your eyes

[white glacier]

bf2

[fallow root]

The problem with heroes was that they were after money so proper weapon balance was never relevant from a money based point of view

It was a f2p game after all

I would say that BF2 is possibly better than 2142

have played it a bit

[white glacier]

bf2 is much better

[fallow root]

Yes, but bf2 is really old now

[scenic elm]

i liked 2142 better then 2

[white glacier]

so what 😭

both games are old

[fallow root]

I'm fond of the goofy nature of heroes of prefer it over bf2

but the glory days are long gone

[white glacier]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/allied-intent-xtended try this mod

[fallow root]

The vast majority of those who played ano 2010 no longer play

[scenic elm]

the only two mods i played for 2 was the zombie mod and forgoten hope 2

lol

[white glacier]

You should try this mod

[scenic elm]

il stick to vanila

and see if anyone still plays FH2

[fallow root]

BFBC2 is also almost dead even after the revive project

[white glacier]

who cares it has bot support

[fallow root]

Who cares?

i mean ppl get tired eventually

[scenic elm]

accualy, did anyone make custom maps for bad company 2 ?

after the shut down

if everyone was playing on the modded client

[fallow root]

no, but they can mod most of them in theory

[scenic elm]

what a shame

[white glacier]

dude what do you expect from 10+ year old games

[fallow root]

for example rate of fire increase requires client update

[scenic elm]

well before the BC2 shut down you could find a bunch of populated servers at peak hours still

[fallow root]

It is easy to adjust attributes on weapons, but as I said, it requires an update and is difficult to do unofficially

[vale grail]

laughs in xbox 360

[white glacier]

so what? they'll do the same to bf4 in a few years

servers cost money to maintain

[scenic elm]

il doubt they shut down 4 so quickly

3 and hardline are next tho

[fallow root]

Walking freely across the entire map was then perfectly fine

[white glacier]

live service games ☠️

[vale grail]

I'm not so sure, you can rent BF4 servers offsetting costs.

[white glacier]

You are still going through dice dude

[vale grail]

We just have to hope BF1, 3, 4 and HL survive.

Because if we lose those but keep V and 2042, I'll be very... engraged

[white glacier]

No we need a solution for these games

to keep them forever

not to 'hope'

[scenic elm]

[white glacier]

this is literally why bf2 is the best battlefield game

[fallow root]

is there still a chance that ea will come with 2143?

[scenic elm]

i'd say that 4 will unleast survive till 2030

that's my prediction

[white glacier]

that's like twenty years thats insane

[fallow root]

what about bf3?

[white glacier]

bf3 is safe

[scenic elm]

who sayed i was sane !

[white glacier]

lol

[fallow root]

bf3 must be close to the edge of the cliff by now

[vale grail]

I'm not so sure, it's still somewhat active given Xbox bamepass and backwards functionality.

[scenic elm]

if the titan gamemode is well made, then i'l pre order it

[vale grail]

It exists already.

No wait 2143, misread that, my bad

[scenic elm]

oh boy the mod packs with shaders and new gun animations !

[fallow root]

I'll be honest. BFP4F was a failed project

[white glacier]

what's that

[scenic elm]

the Free 2 play pay to win version of battlefield 2

[fallow root]

Play4Free

[scenic elm]

it had like 3 maps

if i recall correctly

straight up ported from BF2

[fallow root]

Wasn't there an Asian version of the Bf2 also in circulation

BF Online

[scenic elm]

yea but that one was just BF2

also it had a zombie mode

aparently

and it had all the BF2 maps

while play 4 free had like 3 maps

if i recall correctly

[fallow root]

yes, the p4f hype quickly passed

i recall it during HS

[vale grail]

[fallow root]

launch break reveal

[scenic elm]

ah it had 8 maps

[vale grail]

BF4's final DLCs were leading up to 2142's setting. It's a pity we never got a remaster.

[scenic elm]

i just recall oman and karkand honestly

lol

[white glacier]

remasters are so lazy

[fallow root]

Sharqi for BF3 were decent

[vale grail]

Imagine not needing flashy jumpcuts or annoying remakes of old songs and just showing gameplay to sell a product.

[vale grail]

If done poorly, then yes.

[white glacier]

no dude they just enable companies to be complacent because they know people will just eat that shit up

[vale grail]

But imagine 2142 with 64v64 along with overhauled versions of the older mechanics without the stunded jank of early 2000's videogames.

[white glacier]

dude stop with your nostalgia

[white glacier]

dragon valley in bf4 ❤️

[scenic elm]

i've heard somewhere that some of the BF2/2142 jank is due to some later patches that broke the movement

aparently

[vale grail]

If it were an over glorified 1 to 1 port, then you've a point. Just saying that the mechanics of 2142 looked interesting.

[white glacier]

2142 is just a futuristic reskin of bf2

they are both on the exact same engine

[scenic elm]

Heretic !

2142 purist Anger noises

[fallow root]

There was someone who visited dice hq who was a fan of heroes. He brought it up among the staff showing around and they said they were a little embarrassed by the game

[vale grail]

Given the limitations of the past, maybe, but the creativity along with the mechs, futuristic vehicles, gadgets and weapons more than make up for it.

[white glacier]

i thought titan fall existed

[vale grail]

Imagine all those previous concepts of large mile-sized maps but with even more square mileage mixed with higher player counts.

[scenic elm]

2142 added allot of class customization and the titan gamemode

[vale grail]

it does, but it's more flashy and 'movemenet based'. Unlike 2142's apparent '1980's future slog warfare' style.

[fallow root]

I'm sorry to have to say it, but it's very sad for the fans that the consistent greed had to ruin the game

[white glacier]

this franchise is pretty dead

[scenic elm]

ah, the 2142 drop pods where great

[vale grail]

Titanfall 2 ruined TF1's thematic elements.

[fallow root]

F2p must fail in one way or another anyway, don't they

[vale grail]

Instead of being able to customize the titans entirely along with the more 'grounded' and gritty aesthetics, it became more 'candy-coated' and 'overwatch' pandering.

[fallow root]

I played titanfall 1. What went wrong with 2?

[vale grail]

Don't get me wrong, the abilities in TF2 are awesome for pilots but being forced with only a limited selection of weapons and secondary countermeasures is a huge drawback.

[scenic elm]

it got sandwiched between BF1 and cod infinite warfare/cod 4 remaster

[celest ravine]

Bf hardline is hacked because the stuff they do stinks

[vale grail]

Instead of having the ability to customize your weapons and titans pretty much however you wanted, a lot of the pacing was ruined along with ruining the dark Warhammer 40K style it had for a more vibrant 'ooooh it bad future but pretty colours' palette of Overwatch.

[fallow root]

I played hardline for a little while

[vale grail]

Singleplayer Titanfall campaign is awesome though

[scenic elm]

oh no they wanted to make money of skins , how terrible

[vale grail]

Not really almost all of it was earned from in-game currency only. The Prime Titans however....

[fallow root]

Back to heroes. Those who were in command now have a let it be the way it is mentality instead of adjusting obvious things that should be dealth with

[vale grail]

It's honestly not nostaliga blindness, because take EA's handling of Battlefront for example, all those resources, and more than enough time to make a good battlefront game... and 2015/2017 Battlefront games were total letdowns.

[vale grail]

Instead of having cringe heroes with emesis-inducing voicelines, just give us their abilities on regular soldiers.

2042's easily salvagible, but DICE just won't do it.

[fallow root]

Yes or focus on trying to at least do something with weapons that should be adjusted from ea's mediocre policy

[vale grail]

rather than just say 'heroshooter demographic pandering was a crappy thing to do, we're sorry, here's the entirety of BC1, BC2 and 1943 maps, weapons, characters and vehicles as compensation'.

[scenic elm]

not realy easily salvegeble, they all ready poured tons of money in to the art assets and probobly allot of the cosmetics where all ready done by the time of the beta

it would be a waste to kill off the specialist (money wise that is)

[vale grail]

A weapon that works is not an issue, a weapon that works with no counter however is.

[vale grail]

It was a waste to have them to begin with.

[fallow root]

There is a weapon class in heroes that is mostly mediocre due to financial policy

[vale grail]

there's a financial policy of having weapons intentionally be bad?

[scenic elm]

yea but the game was ment to be an hero extraction royale so....

[fallow root]

The default weapon class or moderate weapons are barely enough compared to purchaseable ones

[vale grail]

The game that no one asked for and is a flash-burn profit because it's dying out as EA sinks more time and resources into a stagnating genere that should've been left alone as is instead of working on BFV, and battlefront 2.

They broke their promises to maintain BFV and Battlefront 2, those games were mechanically speaking quite sound but overall lacking in substance of UI and content. We were going to get so much more out of those two games.

[scenic elm]

well unleast Dice is going to keep supporting 2042 untill the next game comes out

so until 2025 at the earliest

[vale grail]

Will they even last that long?

[scenic elm]

EA won't shut them down, the next game is all ready on the way so it would be a waste

[vale grail]

I mean, all DICE needed to do was do a remastered/upscaled suite of older games make it a collection bundle and flatfee it at 80USD.

[scenic elm]

that might be quite dificult considering 99% of dice devs never worked on the older games

[vale grail]

Imagine 1942, 1943, BF2, BC1, BC1, BF3, 4, HL, 1 and V all upscaled to PS5. XB and PC?

[scenic elm]

probobly 0 on the refractor ones

like a Next Gen update for 1 or V is possible

[vale grail]

Most likely due to the fact that most of the senior staff quit given BFV's.... developmental restrictions of narrative and the like...

[scenic elm]

i would imagine

[vale grail]

Honestly? Portal as a concept was great, but instead of putting more into it and fleshing out the match-making of it, they just ignored it.

[scenic elm]

They won't do it tho because no one wants or needs it honestly, exept maybe for fixes for some of the major issues

[scenic elm]

true

portal would have been cool as it's own game

with mod support

[vale grail]

DICE should've taken the complaints from BFV being too micro-transaction heavy and just take the manpower behind making cosmetics and put all focous into the portal mode.

[scenic elm]

is V realy that micro transaction heavy ?

[vale grail]

The only thing 2042 did at the very least 'somewhat' right that is.

[vale grail]

Look at all the bundles in the store.

and it feels like a ipad game.

[scenic elm]

eeeeeeh

[vale grail]

'for just 50 dollars you can get 10k battlefield coin to express yourself`

[scenic elm]

you don't need to buy them tho

[vale grail]

The fact they're there at all and the only way to unlock BFC organically is a fixed 100 per week is insane.

[scenic elm]

well, if you don't play every day of the week it's not that bad

you can boot up combined arms and do the chalanges with your brain turned off

That's how i do it lol

unless there is a chalange that's imposible in combined arms, but usualy that's not an issue

[vale grail]

No not that currency, the battlefield coin that's the battlefield version of 'cod coins'

The two currencies, one being the BFV warbond equivical and one being the one used to buy stuff in the shops.

[scenic elm]

yea the Battlefield coins, every other week the weekly tides of war gives you 100 coins

you can do them in combined arms (most of them)

i know what your talking about

Premium currency

[vale grail]

That crap

[scenic elm]

with this strat i got tons of skins in the game

for 0$ payed !

[vale grail]

It'd be cool if the unlocks were at the very least earned Black Ops 1 style.

[scenic elm]

oh boy doing gun challenges

[vale grail]

Wait, you can get the battlefield premium currency by doing challenges and not just wiatinf for the weekly 100!?

[scenic elm]

no i mean the weekly 100 (the 100 battlefield coins you get for doing the Weekly Tides of War)
