and a completely different stroryline

different maps

etc etc

[hasty marsh]

nobody cares about the plots of 1990's doom

[odd sleet]

i'm not talking bout who cares or doesn't care

[hasty marsh]

doom 2 could very easily be a wad for doom 1, comparing it to a full engine revamp is silly

why did you even pick this example

[odd sleet]

but it's not a wad

[hasty marsh]

you could have picked like, half life or something. You chose the most similar sequel I could have imagined

[odd sleet]

lordy

i never played half life

ok fine

Doom and Doom Eternal

that make it easier for u?

[hasty marsh]

yes thats at least somewhat rational

[odd sleet]

there u go

i chose doom 1 and doom2 because of the numbering system

obv

u could also sayy quake 1 and quake 2

the division and the division 2

[halcyon sundial]

yea but it is never the best gamemode imho

[odd sleet]

or tons of other sequels

[hasty marsh]

though at the end of the day "who cares or doesn't care" is the most important thing when designing a sequel. when youre making a new iteration of an existing product, you need to decide what to change based on what they are playing the game for.
Any "CS2" that tried to reinvent cs gameplay would be a collossal failure. That doesnt mean you cant make a sequel, that just means youd have to iterate on different things

[odd sleet]

how is cs2 a sequelt hough

they just took cs:go and revamped the engine or whatver

[halcyon sundial]

idk how you would reinvent cs tho lol

it already just functions so good

[odd sleet]

idk why they just didn't keep the name Global Offensive

[halcyon sundial]

coz it was offensive

oof

[odd sleet]

lol

[hasty marsh]

remade from the ground up. new engine, models, networking, everything. it is a seperate piece of software. Complaining that it cannot be considered a different game cause it didnt do "more" is frankly semantic nonsense.

[odd sleet]

then make it seperate

[hasty marsh]

they should have

[halcyon sundial]

it is a sequel. there is a lot of changes

[odd sleet]

this is what i'm'' saying

[halcyon sundial]

overwatch 2 took over overwatch 1..... it is the new trend i guess

[odd sleet]

IF it' really is, then make it so

[hasty marsh]

csgo is still there but burying it under a settings change is simply annoying

[odd sleet]

dont take an old game and change the name

[dense bone]

theres no basis for name changing or not

and likely they change the name to generate hype

[odd sleet]

when i saw cs2 in my library i was like wtf is this

i dont have this

[dense bone]

csgo numbers were around 1m, cs2 announcement to release has seen steady 1.5m

[halcyon sundial]

fr it is goofy to not separate it

[odd sleet]

thats when i had to look it up and find out about the name change

[hasty marsh]

do you live under a rock?

[odd sleet]

i dont play counterstrike

[dense bone]

neither do i

[odd sleet]

if u didn''t read the convo a bit ago

nor do i pay attention to it

[dense bone]

i dont play assassin creed games, ive only played the first, i know theres a new one set in japan

[odd sleet]

me neither

well, Unity but that was free

[hasty marsh]

I do not understand why people still get invested and heated over ubisoft rpgs

[dense bone]

im just showing how you dont have to play a game to know about it because its pretty common knowledge among the gaming space

[halcyon sundial]

ubisoft stink

[odd sleet]

sure if you happen to see something about it

[halcyon sundial]

star wars outlaws is junk

[dense bone]

yea idk how you couldnt see anything about cs2..

[odd sleet]

by not browsing gaming or news website or anything ig

[hasty marsh]

hold on Im curious, @odd sleet have you heard of a game called "Deadlock"

[dense bone]

idk, to miss that info seems like going completely dark on anything gaming related

[halcyon sundial]

maybe GWAR was touching a lot of grass when it was in the gaming news. gg GWAR lol

[odd sleet]

sounds familiar maybe? Or maybe it's Deadlink i'm thinking of

[hasty marsh]

under a rock

[dense bone]

deadlock isnt exactly the same though

[odd sleet]

as what

[dense bone]

yea theres a lot of hype, but cs2 was the continuation of csgo, probably one of the most popular games ever

[dense bone]

deadlock hype compared to cs2

[odd sleet]

which i tried playing like 3-4 times and uninstalled it each time heh

[hasty marsh]

I mean it was announced in a wierd way but a new valve IP is quite the news

[dense bone]

yea definitely big stuff, but not as big as cs2

same as cs2 announcement isnt as big as gta 6

its just relative levels of big

[halcyon sundial]

cs3 when? lol if you know you know

[odd sleet]

also, i tend to catch news more if i'm into the game. Like how Sony cancelled plans for a sequel to Days Gone

[hasty marsh]

given the numbers its pulling from an invite only beta, it might. not sure it will but it might

[odd sleet]

or Ubisoft cancelled Heartland

which i dunno why

[dense bone]

already here

[odd sleet]

xDefiant isn't' that great from what i tried

[hasty marsh]

xdefiant is cod if it was good

[halcyon sundial]

xdefiant is cheeks, goofy

[odd sleet]

or maybe i got ttired of playing siege back in the day

[halcyon sundial]

super scuffed cod

[dense bone]

if it fails i will attribute part of it to lack of sbmm

especially after that cod test

[odd sleet]

it just felt like siege to me with some of the mechanics and things

[hasty marsh]

the cod test was showing mostly minimal changes

[odd sleet]

i played siege enuff to where i got burnt out

[halcyon sundial]

good old siege yea i used to pump that game so hard lol

[dense bone]

the cod sbmm test showed that only the top 20% of players saw retentain mantain or increase, so that means the bottom 80% of the playerbase played less

[hasty marsh]

by marginal amounts

[dense bone]

i dont see the correlation between the two

[odd sleet]

i would have to load the game up again and see

[dense bone]

it is cod with abilities

[halcyon sundial]

sbmm should only be in ranked modes

[odd sleet]

what's sb i forget

in sbmm

and tbf i think i only played one match in xdefiant lol

so i could be wrong

[dense bone]

the problem is a decline at all, especially across 80% of your playerbase, those declines happens over time, not just once.

[odd sleet]

i just maybe walked into the match with a siege mindset

[dense bone]

skill based matchmaking

[odd sleet]

oh ok

[hasty marsh]

this assumes the decline is constant, which nobody would know

[odd sleet]

yeah i remember at some point recently destiny 2 changed it's matchmaking system i think

[dense bone]

it would be counterintuitive to assume the opposite

[odd sleet]

either from sbmm or to sbmm

[hasty marsh]

I suspect the bigger reasons are live service fatigue, hero shooter fatigue, and general lack of faith in ubisoft.
Is XDefiant really going to be appealing to the average consumer?

[dense bone]

not saying the values stay the same, but theres no reason to assume it would just stop

[hasty marsh]

could very easily level out and stabilize over time.

[dense bone]

ehhh, a main point about that test was seeing players move and the skill floor creeping up over time, and now youre top 20% player is the top 50% and potentially falling further. i wouldnt assume it stabalizes for a benefit

[odd sleet]

I don't see why Heartland didn't appeal, wasn't it after beta testing when they shut it down?

[hasty marsh]

main reason I would not pin this as an issue for Xdefiant is that Xdefiant lobbies arent that crazy. I have not played CoD for many years yet I could hop into an XDefiant lobby with little issues.

[hasty marsh]

I am talking about XDefiant

[odd sleet]

i know

but both games were supposed to come out this year

only 1 did

same company, same engine even

why can it after all this time

[hasty marsh]

dunno. How popular is the division anyway?

[odd sleet]

i know it more than i know about cs lol

which again is why i dont like the whole enterinment industry... its mostly based on popularity

[hasty marsh]

multiplayer specifically is

[odd sleet]

i forget why services like GameSpy went away

[hasty marsh]

Multiplayer is about popularity because to a degree it has to be. Now there is little difference between a 10k player avg game and a 100k avg game unless you are in australia, but there is a constant threat of being writen off as "dead" by players, and the game spiraling.
You want a good example of that, look at Concord

this is made worse by live service games trying to eat into a players time like a tumor

[odd sleet]

just looked up Concord heh, didnt make 2 weeks

[halcyon sundial]

it is funny to see the brokies who complained about dlc now complain about live service content

[hasty marsh]

possibly the greatest failure in gaming history. lost 100 million dollars, mostly due to it being written off as dead before it launched

[hasty marsh]

brokies
you are incredibly insecure

[halcyon sundial]

no i liked paid dlc because it kept a lot of kids out

[odd sleet]

ig that depends on what's considered a failure heh

like Aliens Colonial Marines was notorious for the lawsuits and stuff when it was released

[hasty marsh]

Id struggle to find a definition where this isnt at the top. Aliens Colonial Marines sold 1.3 million units. Concord sold 25k

[odd sleet]

then there's the ET game for the Atari that buried shit tons of cartidges in a landfill

[odd sleet]

well ive read how publishers deem something a failure when it really isn't

like Days Gone

[hasty marsh]

this is true, but still

I dont think the publishers are making a wrong judgement here

[odd sleet]

the judgement tho is based on profit most likely

which is unfortunate but how it is

its still a good game

i dunno why Concord was shut down

[halcyon sundial]

i wouldnt say that entirely. these gaming companies are run by dopey captialists as they don't look mid-long term.

it is all over corp world rn. they just dont look ahead very far. they are some of the lowest iq people running these big corps.

[hasty marsh]

because it sold 25k copies, it had a peak player count of a thousand, and was rapidly declining.
It cost 100 million to make and took 8 years

[halcyon sundial]

you can see the decay of higher education in real time.

[hasty marsh]

2 weeks in and people could not matchmake

[odd sleet]

but ive never played the game so i couldn't say if it was bad or not

[halcyon sundial]

you have companies where you have some 200 iq devs being told what to do by some 95-105 iq normie in a suit, with a big mouth and a smile.

[hasty marsh]

its mediocre, I tried the beta.
Whether or not its good or bad is mostly irrelevant, because it was written off by players and sent into a population deathspiral months before launch. That is why MP games have to focus on popularity

[odd sleet]

there's plenty of music bands that never get far not because the music wasn't good, but because they didn't sell enuff or whatever

then you have the opposite

like uh, whatever is popular nowadays

lets say taylor swift

tons of people like her music heh, but imo its not that great to be where she's at

[halcyon sundial]

yea Taylor Swift music is so bad lmao

[odd sleet]

not sure if that's sarcastic or not ;0

[halcyon sundial]

no she is bad fr

[dense bone]

hopefully it comes back f2p

[halcyon sundial]

Taylor Swift I would argue is an evil force in the world but that is for a diff discussion

[odd sleet]

its the same concept tho, both are in the enterainment industry, music and games

if people like it, it generally sells. "good" is subjective, mostly

[halcyon sundial]

music is a little diff because it got completely collapsed by piracy and the big labels didnt react properly.

[odd sleet]

games and music both have piracy

[halcyon sundial]

like they are only just been catchin up on the streaming over the last decade or so but they missed the golden opening that was the napster period

[halcyon sundial]

yes but music was a little different especially because we headed into an age where everyone can produce music easily.

[dense bone]

sound production wise taylor swifts music is fricking top notch. whoever makes her music knows their shit

[odd sleet]

well, produce "music" ha

[halcyon sundial]

the music industry flubbed their golden goose because they were ignorant to downloads and streaming

[dense bone]

her lowest common denominator appeal and cringe lyrics are a different story though

[halcyon sundial]

now the whole industry is in such a weird place.

[halcyon sundial]

not her most recent album. the production is very dull and lifeless.

[odd sleet]

well for sure, but ive also seen bands where some albums had shitty engineers

[dense bone]

ill have to trust you on that because i have no clue what its even called, when it came out, or what songs are on it

[halcyon sundial]

only listen to it if you need a sleep aid

[odd sleet]

also good engineers do crap album cause the music style is different

[dense bone]

for sure, just saying whenever i want to test something new with my audio gear ill slap on something from tswift because that shit is engineered near flawlessly

[odd sleet]

this can happen in games too heh, like I think with John Romero

[halcyon sundial]

.... there is way better stuff to test your gear

[dense bone]

likely, im not some deep audiophile so i just play her and a couple of personal picks to get a feel for new gear

unfortunately wife likes tswift so i know some of her songs decently

[odd sleet]

oh and then there's things that happen like with Arkane Studios or Tango Gameworks

Microsoft buys them out then shuts them down

[odd sleet]

i like playing around with taking music and trying to enhance the way they sound

can only do so much tho without the master tracks

its too bad games are more complicated/technical in that aspect ha

[odd sleet]

also maybe the quality of engineering might also be affected of what all is going on maybe? like frequency wise, and trying to mix it without losing too much of the original feel

like some of the remastered Megadeth albums, im not sure why they turned out sounding not as good as the originals imo

like the orignal Peace Sells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiQpRQeIiHY vs the 2004 remaster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVhJy-CR64Q

the remaster loses a lot of raw "punch" i guess u would call it

esp in the snare

[odd sleet]

i just uploaded this to show the difference between another of their albums, top being the original, bottom being the remaster https://youtu.be/1EA1w59g0yw

[solid hinge]

it might genuinely be impossible to join an NA game and be on the winning team

every game ive joined we've been down 100-200 points

[halcyon sundial]

bro try being in OCE in bf1, every game is even more skewed than that

then you pull scoreboard up and you see 150 stacks like 3 to 4 squads deep on one team

[merry pelican]

yo

what is this massive update for BF4 for

[indigo gazelle]

I want to share my EA account with my friend, but the account was made through steam first, can I give him login without giving him direct access to my steam account?

The game was bought originally on steam

Please @ me with an answer, thanks

[vale grail]

Why in any world would you ever share your account? It costs absolutely ntohing to make one. That sounds like a phishing scheme and scam

[vale grail]

probably an anti cheat addition if you're PC

[tropic vortex]

Sharing is caring

[vale grail]

Dude no

Not even kidding, man. Don't share account info with anyone.

[tropic vortex]

He said sharing with his friend, I'm sure he's a good pal

Nothing can go wrong

[pine pike]

said moments before a disaster

[tropic vortex]

[dense bone]

family sharing?

also imagine not having anyone in your life you would easily share your account with... i have like 5 people that have access to various accounts and never had anything wrong with them

[upper berry]

Family share doesn’t work for a lot of games. Due to the devs themselves

Unless your on console. That’s different story

[dense bone]

ive only family shared for SP games, if it were ever a mp game i just gave them my log in info

[indigo gazelle]

Family sharing isn't available for BF1 unfortunately

I'm unaware if EA has its own system inplace though

[indigo gazelle]

So that I can share my game?

Its a school friend, not online so whatever phishing you're talking about isn't happening

[teal fractal]

idk what just happened

i got so locked into bf5 that i got 83 kills in conq

im a bf1 player that plays bf5 very rarely

[wise widget]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[dense bone]

boots to the ground shooters are largely the same thing, especially within BF

granted i would say bfv gunplay and movement are better (at the very least more consistent), so maybe you just have better aim and it translates to bfv

[teal fractal]

no i get bad games in bf5 usually

like i average 80 kills in bf1 conq but my bf5 average is maybe 1.5kpm

so thats like maybe 30 kills per round for me

[teal fractal]

bf1 is very different tbh

[dense bone]

huh, shouldnt be that different

[teal fractal]

the players play differently and the movement makes it much different too imo

[teal fractal]

like 4kpm average and 7kpm has been my peak tryhard so far

but it could also be that im not too familiar with bf5 maps you need to know the maps quite well

+it would prolly be the same for a good bf5 player going bf1 that they will play worse on 1

different mechanics, different maps

[teal fractal]

I wish i recorded that game

I only got a 2.47 minute of clips

[tacit shell]

so was the battlefield 4 update for the new anti cheat update ?

[teal fractal]

hasnt been an update for 4 on pc so far

also new anti cheat should come in sept 14 or something

[tacit shell]

i had a mini update on steam

i sent you a DM of the screen shot

[spice stag]

Hello, Can anyone help me with k bullet kill with a vehicle on BF1 PC?

[vale grail]

Whoever thought of the asignment challenge of getting infantry kills 100m or more in range for the Boy's AT rifle needs to be fired. Most of the maps don't have sniping rage beyond that and the bullets that're meant for killing TANKS travel insanely slower compared to snipers meant for infantry so it's almost impossible to get kills at that range unless I'm lucky enough to find people that're braindead enough to be static targets. Even with the 10% faster bullet upgrade it's beyond tedious. BFV was a mess butt his is just beyond crappy game design.

You'd think it'd be about doing damage to vehicles or getting two vehicle kills in a round but no, almost all the challenges of an anti-material rifle revolves around shooting infantry.

[dense bone]

reminds me of this

i usually finished every mastery assignment in a single try, i never finished the close range SLRs because of shit like this

it could be possible if under some niche range you could at least 1 shot headshot, but you cant... these are strictly 2 tap body shot machines and then they want you to get 20 headshots in a single round IN objective areas? fucking mad

i get they are masteries and should be hard, but some of them are borderline impossible

[vale grail]

Which is why it horrifies me when I see someone on the enemy team with a fully gold AT Rifle, I'm still stuck on the 'mint bracket'

Maybe cheesing it in community games is the way to go

[dense bone]

yea iirc you can just play vs bots and get them that way which imo is completely against the nature of getting those

[vale grail]

the combined arms stuff

the main issue there is that if it's for unlocking a cosmetic item that doesn't affect gameplay isn't really a 'guilt' thing. Just makes things easier because a stationary weapon like an AT rifle in a game filled with sprint sliding smg users just doesn't gel or mesh right with the wack contrasts of 'realistic' gameplay and the codification

[dense bone]

i just think its whack, which is why i dont do it, if someone else does it i really dont care

[vale grail]

Either way, the challenges don't even fit a weapon's playstyle.

[halcyon sundial]

you gotta love badmins. servers says smg08/anni banned. multiple players tell admin about it, he says he does not see it in chat right as dude puts up a triple in kill feed with smg08. next round admin ends up dying to smg08.... "HEY SMG 08 IS BANNED. CHANGE IT OR KICK"

as soon as it impacted him it is a kick lol

[vale grail]

and that's why BF4's a dead game. nothing but biased rented servers left

[halcyon sundial]

this was bf1

[vale grail]

seriously, they'll let no life sweats stat farm all day

[vale grail]

No I know that, what I mean is that badmins are a major issue in 4.

And if that starts creeping into BF1 it might kill the game as well.

[halcyon sundial]

oh for sure 4 probably worse

coz i really love servers where smg08 and anni banned

it is always funny in those kind of servers too when you see a smg08 or anni user get some kills, get warned and then credit to them they listen switch but then their performance just plummets lol

[orchid seal]

Guys does anyone here play battlefield V

[dense bone]

yes

[orchid seal]

Why is this game so hard when compared to 1

It feels like you die faster

[dense bone]

id say its faster paced and leans more towards skill vs knowledge, theres also less things like elites, and sweet spots which imo makes bf1 a bit more casual and randon in power creeping

smgs in bf1 are soft capped to a certain effective range because of it being spread based, in bfv a lot smgs can be used at range pretty effectively

dmg and dmg falloff are lesser in bfv as a result, but yea, skilled players can make use of smgs at range while that was less likely in bf1

[scenic elm]

the only half reliable way of getting them is playing on a hardcore server, but good luck finding one that has not Yet banned Scout DMR's

because it's a one shot headshot to kill on hardcore

[dense bone]

good info, but i likely wont play bfv with the intention of doing anything serious like that

[scenic elm]

it's still a pain tho

[dense bone]

plus frick hardcore

[scenic elm]

that moment when the jungle carbine is a one shot body shot until 150 meters on hardcore

not surprising that pretty much every sever banned Scout DMR's, cuz one shot body shot at any range is a bit busted

[vale grail]

Unfortunately yes

[vale grail]

It's a horrid blend between sprint sliding smg users in an arcade style format and 'realistic' requirements to mount certain machine guns. It's like a cheddar clam chowder and a milkshake. Fine enough on their own but should never have been mixed.

[vale grail]

BFV is basically the gaming equvical to a truck hogging the fast and slow lane on the high way

[orchid seal]

It ruined machine guns in my opinion

They aren’t fun to play anymore like they are in 1

[vale grail]

No that's spot on, the 'design' of V was just flip flopping all over between acrade and realistic styles of gameplay.

[halcyon sundial]

bfv is a confused mess

the sprint sliding smg users are just cringe

i mean it has some decent points for it. i mean i would rather play it than 2042.

[rough pike]

bfv is baddd

the bodies are skinny

[hollow solstice]

guys bf5 gives me a crash dump message what shall i do

i need help

pls

[halcyon sundial]

play bf1

[tropic vortex]

play 2042

[vale grail]

neither deserve to be titled Battlefield games.

What we need is the atmosphere and writing of CoD WaW and the destruction of Bad Company 2.

Also counting dismemberment as well.

[old violet]

MG or LMG? because LMG is very good :)

[fierce anchor]

I like bf2042 except the trash "nerf fun things" policy like they nefed bolte, tor, ect

Field of Battle: The First

[vale grail]

Did they reformat the server layout?

[dense bone]

#server-news message

[vale grail]

Well shit, these guys are chill, if EA's taking direct control then my biggest concern is that I'll get banned along everyone else who doesn't like the modern direction Battlefield's taken

https://tenor.com/view/democracy-helldivers-intensifies-freedom-helldivers-2-gif-1202998951342753696

[halcyon sundial]

i watched a video on yt recently that showed how mathematically impossible democracy is

[vale grail]

It's a gif of a vibrating helldiver violently shaking with the caption 'democracy intensifies'

[halcyon sundial]

yea i saw it

i like that one

to put it back to battlefield.... i played bfv last night and went up against some of the most obnoxious smg sliders. i mean i cooked em with me jungle carbine once i adjusted to their crutch

[vale grail]

yeah, the game's more of a hot mess than me eating spicey tacos

[halcyon sundial]

idk smg sliding is just too brainrot of a style for me to even consider playing lol

[vale grail]

They could've just added that gameplay style to TitanFall 3

[halcyon sundial]

why do folks just do it rinse repeat ad nauseum? i mean you have to wonder who is on the other end sometimes lol

[vale grail]

OH.

WAIT, THERE IS NONE

[halcyon sundial]

god i remember TitanFail

2 was a better game but 1 was oof

[vale grail]

TF1 was great, more customization options.

We want TitanFall 3 and we got....... apex

[halcyon sundial]

i hate apex

[vale grail]

Who doesn't?

No one asked for it

[halcyon sundial]

my friends used to pester me to play it all the time. i hated every moment of it. i will never get my lifeclock back that i spent on that game.

[vale grail]

you call it a game? I call it a mistake no one asked for

[halcyon sundial]

the BR format has just been overplayed

[vale grail]

it's not that it's a bad format, just going from that hell of a cliffhanger in TF2 to..... iceage baby who drank caustic battery acid and now has mountain dew powers.....

[solid hinge]

My expectations have never been lower for a battlefield game, do you guys think the next one will suck

[halcyon sundial]

we will have to wait and see. however like you my expectations are already in the basement lol.

[keen jacinth]

I have faith but at a risky level Zempela and some returning veteran devs are giving me some of those hopes.

[vale grail]

It'll either be another 'vanguard' event like with 2042 or a hailmarry throw that'll make the franchise great again

[timber moat]

vangoated

[vale grail]

quiet, you

[timber moat]

[halcyon sundial]

vanguard was poop

[halcyon sundial]

Make Battlefield Great Again

Get the merch ready

[vale grail]

I wasn't even quoting him

I just want the next game to be great because good won't cut it

[halcyon sundial]

lol no like i would wear a hat with that ngl

[vale grail]

I get what you mean man

At any rate, I've been vibin' here long enough you have a good one

[halcyon sundial]

yea gg

[neat urchin]

Does anyone have a picture of the Battlefield V game files?

[ebon forge]

[ebon cliff]

BF1

[teal fractal]

You have to present it

[blissful bear]

New battlefield confirmed because everything is changing here?

[random blade]

New battlefield’s been in dev for years

It’s no secret

[hoary shard]

Do we have anymore information on it besides that? I’ve got a really good feeling that this will be a good one, idc if people think I’m coping or not 😄

[limber bough]

We have fuck all info

[random blade]

Nothing substantial. There’s the investor talk but that should be completely ignored. And ‘leaks’ shouldn’t be trusted either, nothing we can do beyond waiting for official info

So, nothing basically

[hoary shard]

I figured as much. Still excited regardless

Battlefield 1 opened my eyes as to how much I just don’t care about other shooters like CoD anymore. There’s so much more to BF games

[random blade]

I have zero excitement whatsoever

[hoary shard]

Is there a particular reason why or are you just tired of BF games or something along those lines?

I love battlefield, and I want it to do well as it’s one of my favourite shooter franchises, but I just don’t have it in me to be excited any more for game releases.

2042 burned me so hard I straight up didn’t play shooters for half a year, and so many other games in recent years have been broken or underdeveloped that I simply cannot get excited for a game launch.

They could announce Titanfall 3 tomorrow and I still would be more skeptical than excited. It’s just kinda how modern games are at the moment.

[limber bough]

Kind of hard to get excited over something you haven't seen or know anything about

[random blade]

And knowing battlefield they could change the game enough that I just might not like it

[hoary shard]

For me it’s more just excitement about playing a new and fresh BF game as 2042 doesn’t interest me much anymore

I didn’t play much 2042 at all tbh, the launch put me off it for a while

[hoary shard]

Yeah this is completely fair. It feels like nowadays a lot of games need a year AFTER release to get things right, which sucks

[random blade]

And that comment by Goeff didn’t spark much joy. Saying the next battlefield will be a great live service before we even know what the game is, is not very inspiring

Although I can applaud the team’s ability to do the best they can to turn things around with the hand they were dealt

Doesn’t change the fact that what we got on launch was abysmal from a technical and design perspective

[teal fractal]

Nyphon left LOL

[last flame]

I hope they go back to put in some of the improvements from BF5 like the movement which was a huge downgrade in 2042 along with many other things

[tropic vortex]

What's wrong with the 2042 movement?

[livid bay]

Yeah, some things that BFV added like crouch sprinting and backwards crawling need to be brought back. However, some others should be left out or removed. For example: ledge grabbing, tactical sprinting, the high wall climb thing, and a few others.

Imo, sliding should also be very limited. It only makes sweats worst to fight against

[last flame]

It just feels like a massive regression and a copy of recent cod games rather than building on BF5

[red scroll]

there is no dropshot feature, it’s not a bad idea at all for an arcade movement

[random blade]

Crouch sprinting and better ledge grab would be very welcome, but the slide is the only hint of mechanical depth left

A merging of the two would go hard

[steady iron]

[limber bough]

Bro advertising his channel

[random blade]

Sorry bud but this isn’t the place

[stoic marten]

Hi all. How do I fix on BF1 An unknown error occurred Error code; 1?

[tropic vortex]

I haven't played cod in years so I wouldn't know and doubt bf devs play cod so wouldn't be fair to say it's a copy of cod

[last flame]

Tac sprint was clearly a thing brought over from MW2019, wouldn’t have been there otherwise

It does the same thing but just more janky in 2042

[glass mirage]

There are normal easter eggs in 2042, for example, like in battlefield 4?

is there a continuation of the phantom easter egg?

[random blade]

Fair enough, that’s irrefutable. Although it was funny when the fast sprint didn’t even have any ads downsides

[livid bay]

Yeah, a better ledge grab would probably be better than just plain removing it.

I agree with not removing sliding but it needs to be heavily limited. The slipperiness of the sliding in both BFV and 2042 just makes it a contest of who can slide the best instead of who can prevent getting themselves into the enemy’s line of fire in the first place.

[random blade]

The game is always positioning first, but if there’s no movement then it loses a lot of that dynamism

Like while I love the air strafe in 4, I can live without it. 2042’s slide offers enough to introduce some variance in gunfights and extend their duration without being too crazy

But it’s just that something akin to bf1 again would feel rather boring

Although I will side with you on bfV for that one

While yes it reduces your turning speed, it just feels like something you spam, meanwhile 2042’s has you using it to fast peek a corner while also potentially opening you up to more angles, so I prefer it much more

There wasn’t much in the way of decionsmaking revolving around it in v, making it feel a little more gimmicky

[livid bay]

Yeah, I agree with that. As I said before, sliding shouldn’t be removed. It should just be set at a speed that isn’t spammable yet is still decent for corner peeking and other things like it.

[random blade]

Can understand making it less spammable, but it feels like it’s got sufficient risk - reward to stick around

[livid bay]

I’m a bit biased against 2042 because I haven’t played it in a while. If it’s how you say, I’d say keep it around that level

[random blade]

Although I hardly ever use just the slide, practically every application of it for me is for a slide hop

But it’s the same premise

Committing to a fast motion in one direction to throw off people holding the angle, with the risk of that leap exposing you further

Bfv’s never really felt like it had that tradeoff for me since you still had lots of control over motion

[vale grail]

Especially the older games, play Bad Company 1 and 2, the campaigns are still amazing.

[solid hinge]

Can someone help me? Im trying to launch Battlefield 4 after i installed the punkbuster thing

but it just closes when i launch it

it

Both via Steam and EA

[hasty marsh]

🦀 🦀 🦀

[indigo gazelle]

I heard BF1 was getting a new anti cheat?

[vale grail]

oh shit really?

Whoa, never thought I'd see the day

[hasty marsh]

perhaps he will go outside

[vale grail]

And stop being a negative nelly hopfully.

[solid hinge]

guys?

[vale grail]

No clue, I'm PSN. Sorry.

[teal fractal]

yeah

i wonder if its because his member role got removed or something

[solid hinge]

I feel like people barely play BF4 on PC anymore

[vale grail]

Or maybe he just got tired of us not liking BFV or 2042?

Just sayin' dude was 'uhm akchewally' on every single post not praising BF5 or 2042

[solid hinge]

this is why i should have battlefield 3 for PC and 4 for console

[junior torrent]

More like the community is infested by shitty servers and players

[solid hinge]

that really just depends on your gameplay experience

[junior torrent]

well I will not tolerate abusive meta, same ass map pool and conquest

[tropic vortex]

I want to be the 1st to say since the EA take over that BF 2042 is the goat

[teal fractal]

i once said that in bf1 2kpm is like average player level and he went off the rails for that because he was 2kpm player

[vale grail]

2kpm?

[teal fractal]

kills per minute

idk he just always seemed to brag about being good at the game but his stats werent very impressive

[vale grail]

oh, the ratio of kills per minute

[teal fractal]

yeah

[vale grail]

I tanked my kd ratio for the C93 carbine service stars

No regrets

[teal fractal]

kekw my stats are pretty ruined because i had a really bad pc when i started

but i average about 4kpm and 4-5kd now

best kpm/kd ive had was 6.8kpm and 12.2kd

conquest games

[teal fractal]

which translates to like 20min game= 80ish kills

[vale grail]

it's doable if the latency doesn't and triggerpull delays don't fuck you

[teal fractal]

but my overall stats only just recently got to 2kpm because of how long it takes to change them 😄

[teal fractal]

yeah my latency is fine

i sometimes dont get hitreg

but its pretty rare

[vale grail]

desync on consoles is SO much worse

[teal fractal]

been trying to hit 100 on argonne for the past 2 days but i end up only reaching 90s or high 80s

[vale grail]

I'm putting half a mag into someone and nothing registers.

I'm on a PS5 and 5G internet so it's not my end

[teal fractal]

might be

because cable internet and a direct ethernet connection to your router will give you much better stability

even if you have fast internet then the stability can still be yanky through air connections

thats what causes latency/packetloss issues

[vale grail]

No no, I get that, I just mean generally speaking battlefield games don't register because they're patchworked and rushed making the baseline of any kind of server fixing neigh impossible to do without an overhaul

and givn BF1 is about 8 years old now, I highly doubt we'll ever see the issues fixed.

If we persistently get enough people asking for a legacy quality of life update for BF4, HL and 1 then maybe we'll see one update that'd fix the game's desync and other latency issues.

[teal fractal]

idk maybe its just a console issue then

for me its my end when hits dont register

i checked the netgraph and i sometimes get instabilities

but overall its pretty stable

[vale grail]

Same here, but there's enough of a desync issue that's just the servers suffering more than anything else

[teal fractal]

that sucks

also another thing that can cause servers to lag is if theres a lot of high ping players on the game

that can cause desync issues too

thats why on pc theres ping limits usually

[vale grail]

Why not have that standardized across all platforms?

Because if there's too many players with ping higher than say, 60 or so then it becomes an issue

[teal fractal]

because they are custom servers owned by players that rent servers

[vale grail]

And since I'm the one with lower ping that means I'm still lagging due to the server struggling to compensate the shiternet of others

[vale grail]

So that's only an option for custom servers?

[teal fractal]

yeah they manually kick the high pingers

they can manually ban them too

[vale grail]

oh, I thought you meant that there's an auto filter that kicks high ping players on PC. I see what you mean now

[teal fractal]

id say anything above 100 is considered high ping, below that its pretty okat

[vale grail]

For me anything past 60 is too much

[teal fractal]

technically there is/was someone made an app for it

[vale grail]

I keep getting people from Iraq and the middle east on US servers

[teal fractal]

but again its only for owned servers not dice ones

[teal fractal]

yeah theres a lot of them on eu too

on pc

[vale grail]

Instead of charging us for servers on the battlefield titles we actually want to play, why not just make the servers either reduced price or free outright.

[teal fractal]

because theres a lot of servers that can abuse owned servers

[vale grail]

BF4 is horridly gatekept on PSN. Nothing but pay to win/negate rules and sweats that no-life jets.

It's fucking abysmal

[teal fractal]

yeah theres plenty servers like that on bf4/bf1 pc aswell but also plenty trusted ones

[vale grail]

only the worst so far on PSN

[teal fractal]

ive gotten banned on quite a few servers for being too good because the admins want to stat farm on bad players

[vale grail]

I've yet to see any good BF4 servers

Hell if I had enough money to rent out a BF4 server then I'd just do it myself. I'd have fair rules and ensure they're enforced properly by my friends.

[teal fractal]

and in description they say cheaters get banned and the server is balanced and whatnot but in reality its just 4 admins stacked up farming kills on bad players

and anyone as good or better get insta banned

[vale grail]

And yet there's no server rating system

[teal fractal]

there is

you can favorite servers

[vale grail]

But you can't downvote

[teal fractal]

usually long time servers that are quite trusted have a lot of favorites

[vale grail]

It'd be nice just to play BF4 without worrying about no life players that don't have jobs

[teal fractal]

yeah a lot of servers started out like this actually lol, so many stories where the now server owners used to just get fucked over by admins in diff servers so they just made their own thats fair to play on for everyone

[vale grail]

Basically 'make BF4 servers fun again'

[teal fractal]

but you also need good knowledge on the server to actually lead a fair server since if you dont really have good knowledge on the game you can false ban a lot of good players

and then theres the fact that you need to seed them to get them full

[vale grail]

I don't care if I win or lose, that's not an issue. But to have 'teammates' that don't even try, that's inexcusable.

[teal fractal]

and without a playerbase its practically impossible to fill

[vale grail]

hence why I'd just stick to kicking people on ocasion when needed.

[teal fractal]

thats why a lot of starter servers die out a lot

because they start the server before they have a playerbase

[vale grail]

Well, I've the means to ensure the server's filled. My platoon is active and decently sized enough to play BF4.

[teal fractal]

yeah but if you want good rep then youd need to set up some certain rules, because if you kick people outside of the rules it can be quite bs to the players on your server that are playing

[vale grail]

Well no shit, it'd basically be the same way I'd run my own server, strict yet fair. Ensure the rules are easy to understand and make it known that any who break them will be removed and that the rules aren't a formality.

[teal fractal]

yeah thats good, youd also need players that moderate the server through out the day so it wont die out

also new servers struggle with cheaters a lot (may not be an issue on console)

[vale grail]

Again, I've friends in multiple timezones so that won't be an issue.

[teal fractal]

yeah thats good

[vale grail]

Not really outside of exploiters but that aside, I just need enough money to start up the server.

[teal fractal]

yeah well bf4 is kinda riddled with exploiters anyway

rouzou zouzous etc etc

[keen jacinth]

Make a no hud Battlefield server.

[vale grail]

with what money

[teal fractal]

what if you guys all pay together for 1 server?

and once you set it up you can start selling vip for others to upkeep it

[pliant girder]

For context I’m talking about in BFV

[teal fractal]

oh 5

[pliant girder]

Realized I didn’t say

[teal fractal]

yeah they took emblems away from that game

because dice

you can see it in other bf titles though

if that helps

[pliant girder]

I only play BFV so far

😭

[teal fractal]

[pliant girder]

That seems really arbitrary but I’ll deal with it

[upper shadow]

Crazy BF1 still thrivving so well

like 5k active players

and bfv being more popular then 2042 lmao

[tropic vortex]

Nothing is more popular than 2042, we have our own channel bud

(BFV) how do y’all manage to get so good at dogfighting the second someone is behind me I spontaneously combust I swear 😦

[limber bough]

They haven't gone outside in years

[raw current]

Fair enough

I hate the ppl who just camp on AA guns the whole game aswell

[keen jacinth]

Average level 500 BFV player

[raw current]

I would go insane before I reached level 500

[teal fractal]

try fiddling with plane settings

helps a lot

more fov for better visibility, adjust your sens settings, make a button for the plane to go up and down, turn etc

[raw current]

I have 100% plane sense and fov (I think) but the thing is that they turn on a dime whilst me (in a spitfire) and turning like a freight train

[teal fractal]

there are certain angles where you can turn faster

i havent done much piloting myself with planes in 5 just a bit on 1

but i imagine the footholds for it is the same

once youve got good settings etc rest is just experience thing

see how others counter you when you go to fight them

[raw current]

Ive heard that I should go on a slightly downwards angle while turning

[teal fractal]

yeah

gives faster speed because your plane is going downwards instead of fighting to go upwards

like yk just gravity kekw

[raw current]

I was in a game earlier and some German plane turned upwards in a loop in 0.2 seconds and I’m just sitting here like 😔

[teal fractal]

yeah idk

im infantry only mostly

[raw current]

Same, started to pick up planes a week ago

(I took a looooong break from planes is what I mean)

If u wanna have a look at my stats I just put them in the stats feed

[fallow root]

As if reaching lvl 500 will magically trigger something irl 🤭

[tender yacht]

Anyone still on?

[fallow root]

It's too early

[teal fractal]

US might have some servers

eu only goes active around at like 10am though

atleast for bf1 and 5

[vale grail]

See that'd become an issue because the only people that'd pay into that would be sweats expecting special treatment and since I won't let someone bypass the rules for their money then it'd still dry up.

[limber bough]

You should try suggesting things that could actually happen

[fast agate]

LMG spam in bf1 is SO FUCKING ANNOYING

90% of the enemy is support

i cant do shit

they all camp

[carmine mica]

Anyone is still playing in bf 1 ?

[fast agate]

i do but its making me rage

its so bad

everyone spams m1917

smg08

ilya

its so fucking cancer

[carmine mica]

How serwers looks ?

[fast agate]

eu is active

[carmine mica]

Is still open, how much people is playing

[fast agate]

others not so much

[carmine mica]

Im interesting eu serwers

2042 bf is really bad like everyone say ?

[old violet]

if you catch a huge -% sale on it, i'd recommend buying, but for full price absolutely not worth :)

it's like a fun minigame

[carmine mica]

Haha okey bro i got this

I dont know better for sure is bf 1 but iw worries about serwers

U know

The climate this game is amazing

[old violet]

bf1 and bf5 are my favs, as an infantry player

[carmine mica]

V is not bad
In my opinion better is 1

Last bf i played so much was bf1

I was playing some in bf v but..

In 2042 i’ve never played

[old violet]

I disagree that it's better, but I do enjoy bf5 more currently nvm, read wrong. yeah, bf1 > bf5

played bf1 a ton so, tired of it :)

could vpns not possibly like

reduce ping somehow

If only there's an alternative option to play ...

[raw current]

mp in general must suck for you

for most games

youre in the middle of fucking nowhere compared to the rest of the world

[fast agate]

its just not the same

[solid carbon]

since when are community servers in the quickmatch rotation in bfv

[raw current]

Bf5 isn’t too bad for matchmaking if there aren’t any Australian servers I just hop on Japanese and play fine

[junior torrent]

Not if they're programmed correctly

Instead of go here and capture this objectives

[raw current]

But I cant with the planes bro I swear 💀 I hop in a plane then some little turd from 300 kilometres away sitting on AA the whole game shoots me down in 2 seconds

[fast agate]

hahahah it be like that

the game is very... cancerous in general to me

[junior torrent]

And that

Is why I don't like pvp

Some people are jackass

[raw current]

Most fps games are, but battlefield has made me a different person

[fast agate]

there are so many things that need fixing in bf1

smg08,m1917,ilya bomber

[junior torrent]

Luckily, there's a brand new modding scene to the game

[fast agate]

i mean you cant prevent others from picking it

[junior torrent]

And modding is important to gaming fyi

[fast agate]

unless the server owners did it

and bad news

anticheat coming back will ruin mods

[keen jacinth]

No just hackers

[junior torrent]

So as long EA doesn't shut down the community modding server

[keen jacinth]

People can't see mods

[junior torrent]

It's okay

[raw current]

Bf5 needs ALOT of fixing (imo) AA needs to be shortened, Idk why medics have the best guns in the game, tanks are indestructible if ur alone so u should just run right up to the tank and beg for it to shoot you etc

[fast agate]

no i mean the anticheat software might think mods are cheats and prevent them

so they won't work anymore

[raw current]

Classic EA, no fun for you only fat stacks of cash for us 🙃

[junior torrent]

Let's see what they have to say about it

[junior torrent]

I wish they're like valve

[raw current]

Yeah, valve manages to keep tf2 alive when idk how long it’s been since they released it

[junior torrent]

Their games man

Not just TF

[raw current]

Yeah Ik that’s just an example though cuz yk they’re both popular shooting games

[junior torrent]

But anyways

Ik excited for WR

[raw current]

?

[junior torrent]

Warsaw revamped

For bf4

[raw current]

Oh

[junior torrent]

If you're not on PC

Welll

Sorry

[raw current]

Never played bf4 anyway

[junior torrent]

Good game. Just infested by shitty players and servers

[raw current]

Toxicity and rat players is a concept no shooter game can avoid

[junior torrent]

And that's why I believe AI bot is important

[raw current]

Ig but ur not gonna celebrate for getting 30 kills against bots

[junior torrent]

It's not about kills and their stupid ai

It's about making them better

Keep all multiplayer intact

Just sub players with AI

[raw current]

Oh ok so put some real some ai in there?

[junior torrent]

[raw current]

Ok

@tropic vortex agreed, me and the boys are hooked

[fathom jasper]

i wanna be an alhpa tester so bad

[untold ice]

will the next battlefield be good?

[solid carbon]

probably not

[untold ice]

will dice be the next studio ea shuts down

[restive loom]

Why did he leave? (Sorry for the ping)

[untold ice]

i wonder what s the next setting

i ll cut them some slack there because every time a bf game was announced there was always bitching about the setting

especially with 1 and hardline which are great games

[teal fractal]

its fine, i think he left because a lot of server users got member role now which was an unique thing to like 4 people or something 😄

[restive loom]

That’s weird 🤣😭

[limber bough]

Regular role was stupid af anyways

Took ages to get and you could lose it very easily

[gray glade]

maybe if DICE this time gets that extra year they need to produce a game that isn't buggy they can do it

EA seems to always want them to release a game before it's done

[teal fractal]

yeah shame that bf42 went how it went

it still gets flack even though its pretty okay to play in rn

[tropic vortex]

It's the other way around

[gray glade]

after it's done?

[tropic vortex]

EA doesn't rush anything

[gray glade]

lol

[alpine scaffold]

bet

[gray glade]

DICE asked EA for more time to finish BFV, like a year or six months or something? EA gave them 1 month more only

and the game was released unfinished, just like BF4

[tropic vortex]

It was DICE rushing everything not EA

[carmine mica]

I hope so

Cod is boring

The new bo6 is the same game what early

Allways bf was more better than cod

But either way, any rumours or leaks should just be ignored for the time being, nothing is true until proven by official sources

[tropic vortex]

Stay away from youtube

[carmine mica]

Exactly

Im wondering wheather to buy bf 1 because i saw nice sale something like 8 € for revolution edition

[random blade]

Definitely worth it. Game’s fun and still has players, can’t go wrong with an £8 purchase

[carmine mica]

I guess like u said

Serwers still looks nice

Lots of people still playing

[restive loom]

no

[clever magnet]

Does anyone know where do i equip vehicle skins in bf1

[carmine mica]

Revolution edition has all extas ?

What’s best machine gun in battlefield V

Whats is the difference revolution or premium pass

i guess no one is answering anything in this discord

Why not

[clever magnet]

[tropic vortex]

Why is 2042 the greatest fps ever?

You're right, nobody wants to answer anything

[vale grail]

Setting complaints are more subjective, the lack of any real content isn't.

[vale grail]

It's the greatest at failing horribly and disapointing a fanbase.

[untold ice]

plenty of people were quick to judge hardline

and now is dead 😦

[pallid sphinx]

Hardline was fireeee

[vale grail]

Keep in mind the main critiques of hardline was the bad map design not fitting the gameplay styles or flow

It's not a bad game but suffered from cod ghosts syndrome where the ttk didn't match the map design or the gameplay pacing

[hexed ravine]

yo

[untold ice]

the maps were awesome

i wish dustbowl would come to portal

also

if any of the ea community managers is reading this , if the next game still has the shitty characters as operators and not generic soldiers, i am going to EA's Bucharest office and take a shit on the doormat

also

what's roa gadget

what s disruption

i point it at something and get points

https://youtu.be/u5RjQHfdwZg

[spring minnow]

I'm convinced 2042 is using cod style SBMM or EOMM. in an other battlefield I can do fair good at least above average. But in 2042 I rarely break even. Just constant deaths. Biggest failure of the game. That and the operators.

[untold ice]

why does bf2042 have to load in icons and stuff

where is it loading it from??

why arent they there when u open the menu

bf 5 died before the stalingrad update

come to think of it

5 is the only bf game to die before finishing its dlc cycles

even hardline got 4 dlc

[orchid seal]

Bruh

That’s gay

[untold ice]

5 kinda sucked in the beginning

props for them for having maps where lesser known battles took place

still though

the game did a lot of good things

i liked the fortification mechanic

and the squad leader abilities

[orchid seal]

They should still finish it

[untold ice]

i agree

i hope the next bf is set in the 80's or something

and ea stops with the live service shit

and realize they can cultivate an eco system with all their existing games

poeple still play bf3 ffs

id rather have them finish bf5

and realese 2 more dlcs for bf1

one with the balkan battles and one with the colonial battles

that d be awesome

but i am asking this from the people who made the german sniper from bf 1 black and released the french as dlc in a ww1 game

[orchid seal]

I see

[untold ice]

all the talent left after bf1

we will never get a bf with such a good presentation

[orchid seal]

Bf1 is awesome

[untold ice]

i redownloaded bf2042 again and my biggest issues with this game is that all the characters suck and i wish they d shut up and that some maps feel sterile

[orchid seal]

Just sucks a ww2 game couldn’t be as good

What’s so hard about it? Just try to mimick it

The gun slides in V are so stupid

[untold ice]

they should had done exactly that

bf1 but ww2

i remember staying up late to see the trailer and the livestream

and i was met with a big pile of shit

the trailer for bf5 is atrocious

then they release the trailer for the pacific update and suddenly they remember how to make trailers

[orchid seal]

They fumbled

[untold ice]

the bfv trailer sucks so much

[orchid seal]

The servers also suck

[untold ice]

why

i ve played it on pc a few times , it wasnt that bad

minus the hardcore servers

holy shit

i ve just rewatched the trailer

[south radish]

This felt like out of an action movie trying to recover the heli

[vale crow]

Didn’t think to jump 😭

[south radish]

Wanted to try and recover the heli after other pilot jumped

Heli was hit by rocket and knocked into a roll when he bailed

[vale crow]

Ohhh okay

[vocal dirge]

Looking for clans to join in battlefield V, hardline, 2042, 3 and 4 primiarly

and BF 1942, BF2, 2142, bad company 2 and vietnam as secondary.

id love to play some BF2, 1942 and 2142 with some dudes.

[upper berry]

I thought those servers are gone or dead

[vocal dirge]

I mean I played like 2 years ago

and I still managed to find SEVERAL players

although BF1942 being abandonware means its sorta just free, so you have to download and install a client

The offical servers from the EA copies of the game are as far as I know, dead.

[upper berry]

Mmm 🤔

[junior torrent]

Just say they're community

[slow pendant]

Helis on this map are a death sentence i usually get TOWed or rpged a millisecond after spawning

[south radish]

Yeah can be if enemy attack heli is specially camping spawn

Then you have the skyscraper at C which many will have rpg/stinger and iglas

[spring minnow]

The ttk in 2042 is awful you could have the higher rpm smg and the other guy a semi auto and you still lose even after firing first.

[halcyon sundial]

2042 is junk. But laughing because you probably got done by a higher skilled player. maybe you can add the slide to your high rpm smg crutch playstyle lol.

[spring minnow]

Sliding is stupid tbh. Feels way to cheap. This is battlefield not call of duty.

[junior torrent]

same thing for tac sprint

[keen jacinth]

BFV's sliding was better because it was controlled, you jave to hold the button or key to slide and their and a short cool down before you can do it.

They need to resurrect BFV's movement system with just a couple upgrades and tweaks.

For the next Battlefield

[junior torrent]

restore prone diving

and crouch run

is a nice extra addition

[keen jacinth]

Knock back from blast waves

[junior torrent]

even vehicle animation?

[keen jacinth]

Nah, I prefer the 2042 vehicle walk in/out animations, where you can simply teleport, but you can see your character get in vehicle.

[junior torrent]

call me a weirdo

but I prefer first person vehicle

[keen jacinth]

I prefer bombs

This server is deader than 2042 lol

[junior torrent]

meh

im excited for BF4 WR

[keen jacinth]

WR?

[junior torrent]

warsaw revamped

[vale grail]

2042 is what happens when you have veteran designers quit a company because of lack of creative control and rushed development

The last 'true Battlefield' game is arguably either BF1 or Bad Company 2

[keen jacinth]

Bf1 was the last and first next gen Battlefield

[vale grail]

which is weird

It's been eight years, hope we get a legacy update on it.

[random blade]

Honestly it felt worse that way for me

[vale grail]

BFV's sliding mechanic felt like diet titanfall, it didn't fit the setting for a WWII game

[random blade]

Not even that

2042’s feels more like it, but only like, 10% alike

Can do way more with 2042’s slide in comparison

Would actually appreciate it if the same slide and bhop system stuck around for the next game

It’s a movement option with tradeoffs and adds a little more dynamism to fights

Kinda dreading what they might do with the next game, if they strip away all of it I’ll be rather dissapointed

[vale grail]

If I wanted to slide around the floor like it was just mopped I'd play titanfall 2, I bought into the battlefield franchise for a realistic contrast to arcade shooters back when and now it feels like a mixed up mess

[random blade]

Well bf4 achieved a good balance, I’m sure it can be done again

[vale grail]

Tell me about it

[vale grail]

The issues with BF4 were overall desync and unfixed bugs that never got patched. Bad Company 2 was the last game that had realistic gameplay with just enough of a arcade game element to make it fun.

[random blade]

Bf is always about positioning first, but if it’s got no movement potential at all then it just feels rather bland at times, I came into the franchise in bf4 I will admit, but that game has fantastic movement, bugs and exploits excluded, and is still considered one of the best

It’s the hybrid nature I enjoy most. Played enough Milsims to know what a game like this feels like at its slowest, so just a little something even if it’s as simple as a bhop would do me fine

[vale grail]

I know it comes off as tunnelvisioning but Bad Company 2 was and still is one of the greatest multiplayer experiences.

[random blade]

Nah it doesn’t, we’ve all got our favourite games, I just wasn’t gaming around the time it came out so I never got a chance to experience it

[vale grail]

Sorry to hear, you missed out on something amazing

[random blade]

I remember hearing some kind of interview with dice where even they didn’t know what it was about bc2 that worked so well lol

[vale grail]

the pacing of the matches, the vehicles (outside of helicopter spawn camping) and weapons were over 90% amazing and no one weapon was good or bad, each was workable.

That and the 'less is more' in the loadout versitility

[keen jacinth]

Unlike Battlefield 5's bomber that have a 0.5 blast radius. You have to make heads hits to get a hitmarker

[solid hinge]

who cares when overall bf experience lacks entertainment

Ppl stop playing much

Seem that inner bad experience blocks ppl away

I know where it is simply by comparison of a wwii movie and overall Battlefield setup

Games ending rusty because of terrible imagination

[solid carbon]

bruh

[solid hinge]

Reported

[solid carbon]

[solid hinge]

If you don't have specific argument and just constantly blocking ppl conversations I don't see how can we develop a game w such behavior, this spam blocks any directional conversation, everything ends delusional cuz spam is spam

[solid carbon]

Im sure that the devs can create a game without this discord

[tropic vortex]

They need the discord that's why EA took over

[uneven hollow]

Next they’ll need Reddit

[upper berry]

Next they will need Facebook

The meta verse

[uneven hollow]

Facebook moms knows what’s best for battlefield

[digital seal]

Would love a mix of BF3/4 for the next game, obviously. Still hanging onto the glory days of when BF was at its peak. BFH was great too and BF1 was good but quickly went downhill from there.

[tropic vortex]

2042 is peak

[visual moss]

For poor game design, certainly

[rain schooner]

is BF1 or BFV superior

[uneven hollow]

Bfv

[rain schooner]

is it a dead game too

[visual moss]

Think it’s the most popular right now weirdly

[rain schooner]

13k average

BF1 is like 6k

[tropic vortex]

2042 is 50k

[rain schooner]

average?

[upper berry]

If only looking at steamDB which is only for steam aka pc only, not including EA app, MS, PS or ect platforms that it’s on. 2042 is normally about BF1 and V numbers combined

That’s only in steam, aka PC ONLY

[old violet]

maybe I'm misunderstanding but, looking at last 6 months, it seems that in fact bf5 = bf1 + bf2042 in terms of amount of players

https://steamdb.info/app/1238810/charts/#6m
https://steamdb.info/app/1238840/charts/#6m
https://steamdb.info/app/1517290/charts/#6m

[old violet]

different games. bf5 is a lot more fast paced, so if you like cod-style shooters then go for it :)

personally, ALL factors considered, i'd say bf1 > bf5

[merry walrus]

When I was checking (month ago or so) bf5 had almost 2042+bf1 combined. That’s weird

[solid hinge]

They had what?

[vocal dirge]

Anybody down for battlefield V?

[vale grail]

Or how about the V1 rocket being bloody useless, the damned thing has a blast radious of 15-20 metres and that's about it.

I'm trying to get back into BFV and since they removed the auto-balance and team swapping feature, the sweat clans win 10-0 on matches

it sucks

[vocal dirge]

in terms of battlefield standards thats Pretty big

[vale grail]

Not really, the initial scale of death was 50 metres but given how people like to complain instead of getting better when something doesn't need fixing, we lose all proper functionality of weapons that're better left alone until the game becomes even more unbalanced in an adverse effect of overcorrection

[vocal dirge]

but like yeah honestly in the older games like Battlefield 1942 where the maps were much bigger/harder to traverse in general

but 50 meters sounds reasonable IMO

I kinda wish BFV was a slower pace at times/the maps were larger/transport vehicles mattered more

[vale grail]

the scale of the maps are so small, not to mention there's so many rough textures, the game looks like a sloppy collage student's dry run for a mid-term test

[vocal dirge]

in BF 1942?

[vale grail]

No, V

[vocal dirge]

well yeah its an old ass game from 2001

ohh lmao

[vale grail]

A WWII game shouldn't feel like titanfall

[vocal dirge]

I think BFV looks good at times, but some maps look eh

but yeah in battlefield 1942 there was no sprint

so transports like jeeps and shit had a much bigger role

[vale grail]

Narvik has untextured ships and you can fly under the water near the british spawn

[vocal dirge]

if you didn't have a vehicle to dismount/fight with you got fucked

ohhh yeah

[vale grail]

If the max 'walking' seed was decent enough you don't need sprint

[vocal dirge]

Also like TBH the reason I wish BFV was slower pace/had larger maps is the fortifications sometimes it feels like I don't get enough time to fortify objectives before a squad/a random angry mob swarms me

[vocal dirge]

well yeah, but I believe it was also a way to make the maps feel larger as well

[vale grail]

the elements say 'slower to medium pace', the maps say 'fuck it, we copy/pasted warzone let's just codify everything else'

[vocal dirge]

I mean I think BFV is an amazing game truly the best of the modern WW2 arcade shooters.

WW2 arcade shooters are a rare breed these days...

[vale grail]

WW2 and arcade style gameplay don't fit, I was replaying CoD 2 and 3 recently, the campaigns felt more grounded and 'realistic' because the movement wasn't 'sprint sliding' with everything sounding like an airsoft gun

[vocal dirge]

bruh

those games were arcadey

I guess by "arcade" you mean slide canceling and shit?

[vale grail]

Moderately at most, not like the modern crap...

[vocal dirge]

IMO thats a good thing

I don't really enjoy realistic/mil sim WW2 shooters

I enjoy arcade like damage models

[vale grail]

A pinch of spice compared to dumping the whole bottle is quite noticble difference

[vocal dirge]

Well hmmm I have issues with BFV

[vale grail]

Oh, by the way, nice to see another brony

[vocal dirge]

:3

[vale grail]

Likewise, main one being the horrible lack of accuracy

[vocal dirge]

so the cosmetics in BF V are really bad ass

I love em

although some of them are a tad too gaudy for me

I simply don't use em.
