Hi someone and available for battlefield 2042 hazard zone on and 5

[solid carbon]

5 what

[uneven hollow]

The map

[lime goblet]

Friend

For the trophies

[young saddle]

When ea anticheat for bf4

[obsidian hinge]

[junior torrent]

WR will handle that

Only you don't play on battlelog

[obsidian hinge]

WR?

Wirtual Reality

[junior torrent]

Warsaw Revamped

[obsidian hinge]

xD

[junior torrent]

Not interested in the project?

[obsidian hinge]

I don't know about it

[junior torrent]

Check it out if you're interested

[solemn condor]

Can anyone help me with Battlefield V crashing? Ive spent like 2 days trying to figure this out

[obsidian hinge]

What message comes up

Or does it straight up close

[solemn condor]

crashes to desktop

I've tried a lot of stuff like unplugging some of my peripherals to see if it was that, buying the game and downloading it on steam instead of using game pass and EA app, I've repaired files on it in the EA app, while I was using Game pass for it I deleted the setting folder in documents cause I saw that somewhere, I've tried borderless mode, and even more.

[vale grail]

It succ cheecc

[solemn condor]

and updated drives, turned off nvidia geforce experience overlay, turned off EA overlay, turned off ambient occlusion

I also see that on Task Manager both CPU and GPU reach 100%, though CPU more often, but IDK if that's all that bad im not a super big computer person

[teal fractal]

go into settings and set it to dx11

through documents folder- bfv

[solemn condor]

ok i will try that

[teal fractal]

check dm

sent where what is

iirc it was a dx issue

[solemn condor]

those values are already 0 for me

[teal fractal]

vsync at 0 too?

actually ill just send you my settings

just copy paste

[solemn condor]

ok

thank you

[teal fractal]

check dm

[young saddle]

No one is gonna play that brooo

[junior torrent]

Whatever you say

[obsidian hinge]

xD

[solemn condor]

imma come back tomorrow but i might just end up refunding BFV on steam. Idk what the problem is\

[dusk ice]

fr

like venice unleashed

[junior torrent]

Only because VU was underwhelming

At least with WR, it's gonna be more ambitious

[upper berry]

WR is the jack of all trades, especially with native support on things from VU

[marble hinge]

is there anybody knows I have issues on BFV multiplayer, whenever i enter any game I get crash instantly and I try almost every possible solutions

[upper berry]

DX11

I know dice never fixed DX12 for BF1/V

[marble hinge]

i tried

[upper berry]

Maybe look it up and don’t run maxed out settings

[teal fractal]

my settings didnt fix it either?

what pc specs do you have?

[dense mica]

Are there even any servers for BF1

before i instal again

in oce

[obsidian hinge]

Yep

[dense mica]

Populated ones? for oce?

youre giving me hope

[dense mica]

swear to allah

[obsidian hinge]

Not for oce I don't think

[dense mica]

such a shame

thanks tho

[past mango]

Hey uh, can someone help me with my Battlefield V not launching, and instead opening the EA App?

I've had this issue since 2023, When i tried installing Battlefield V on my new gaming laptop, it would be nice if i can play it again

[solid carbon]

wdym

[past mango]

like when i launch battlefield v, the game opens in the black screen with the loading icon in a corner, and then force quits to the EA App

i can record the thing for you

can anyone help me with this?

[upper berry]

Maybe ask Google

And look at forms

[past mango]

I've looked at steam discussions for hours, tried things and still didn't work

[upper berry]

Steam isn’t the only place 🤦‍♂️

EA forms, Reddit. Idk 🤷‍♂️ other websites in the search results

[pliant garden]

went and played on some US servers on bf1 holy shit you guys are dogshit

[tight rain]

We’re just here for a fun time damnit

[pliant garden]

no i mean like proper bot activity like its not fun its just pain to play against

[rich ember]

BF1 doesn't exactly give players much motivation to get better.

[indigo gazelle]

Is it just me or has the game gotten a lot laggier?

Like in terms of frame performance

I'm getting a shitty 24-45 instead of my usual 75~

[solid hinge]

@past mango did u try to turn off the overlay inside ea app

[solid hinge]

whats your guys thoughts on Lumphini garden

[tropic vortex]

Come to 2042 US BT servers not even during peak time bud

[pliant garden]

we are talking BF1

[tropic vortex]

Mentioned US servers first bud, just saying

[pliant garden]

probably would still be easy

[tropic vortex]

Cool come on over

[pliant garden]

and im an average skilled player

[halcyon sundial]

2042 doesn't have the best Battlefield players. They are all on BF1, BFV and BF4.

2042 is a cartoon game

[halcyon sundial]

what was your ping? in some scenarios high ping can lend an advantage.

[tropic vortex]

You got proof of that bud?

Nobody is talking about which game had the best players in the first place but since you brought it up please provide proof

[dusk ice]

Okay bud

[halcyon sundial]

2042 being a cartoon game that is rejected by hardened Battlefield vets

also playing experience. the players on BF1, V and 4 are just better.

most people would agree with it if they are not coping about 2042 like you

[tropic vortex]

That's funny cause I am one and I play 2042 bud

Just a pure 2042 hater

[halcyon sundial]

all you do is cope about 2042. it is a dogwater battlefield.

[tropic vortex]

[dusk ice]

Everyone hates that game vro

[tropic vortex]

Everyone? There's a nice big population on 2042

[halcyon sundial]

did you see the stuff about the next battlefield? it is a complete rejection of 2042.

so go cope in 2042 section, this is for real battlefield titles to be discussed

[tropic vortex]

Before we go there please provide that proof

That the best players are on the old games

[halcyon sundial]

i dont need to as it is self-evident

[tropic vortex]

Fail response that was edited

[halcyon sundial]

i get more challenge on older games than 2042

[halcyon sundial]

i removed an accidental slash i typed.... lmao you gotta fight on everything dont you. so pathetic lmao

[tropic vortex]

Going back to 2042 channel so I can stop laughing so hard

[halcyon sundial]

anyways i am not going to continue with you so type to nobody as you one of the lowest iq folks on this server

[halcyon sundial]

BFV has almost double current population of 2042. BF1 also up on 2042 by a couple thousand. I will leave it at that.

[upper berry]

For a hot minute, 2042 was 2x population of BF1 and BFV combined

I think it was couple months ago or less. It been a while

[halcyon sundial]

well it isnt rn

and we are only talking PC but i guess to discuss where the best players are PC is where they are not console

[upper berry]

Now is now, now is not later or before

[halcyon sundial]

2042 is the current game, it has been battling since day one to gain and retain players.

[upper berry]

We don’t rely on aim assist

[halcyon sundial]

fr

[dim canopy]

Hey do you like mortal kombat 1 the newest one ?

[halcyon sundial]

it was slightly better than 11.... i am not content with modern MK fr

[upper berry]

But Steam numbers dosent solve anything. EA app, Xbox, PS and other platforms don’t share their numbers or API for games

[dim canopy]

I haven’t bought mkt but it’s graphics is gorgeous

[halcyon sundial]

Steam are where the goats are

[upper berry]

Steam population is very small among of BF players tbh

[halcyon sundial]

we the goats

[dim canopy]

Steam is the best yep

[upper berry]

Steam have more issues with EA and Ubi games, compared to EA and Ubi app alone

[halcyon sundial]

MK 11 was so goofy. The last good MK was MK9.

[upper berry]

I never buy my Ubi and ea games from Steam

[halcyon sundial]

yea this is fr tbh.

[dim canopy]

I totally agree with you on mk9 the best because mainly 4 people could play that game together it was more fun

[upper berry]

People still buy it on steam and blame ea and ubi

Aye you paid for it on steam. Not ea and Ubi fault

[halcyon sundial]

I think MK9, MK Deception and MK II are the goats of MK.

[dim canopy]

I would love to see 4p back so I can ask my friends to buy it

[halcyon sundial]

EA and Ubi do be goofy.

[halcyon sundial]

I am just sick of them releasing a small roster and putting main MK characters as DLC

[upper berry]

Because they force you to use their app anyways

[dim canopy]

With money isn’t it

[halcyon sundial]

i mean the app even on its own is a mess to use sometimes lol

[halcyon sundial]

yea like Shang Tsung should never be a DLC character

[dim canopy]

yeah it’s like one day they will ask money for scorpion and sub zero

[halcyon sundial]

they would make a lot of money that is for sure lmao

[dim canopy]

Yep

[halcyon sundial]

idk i think that would be the final straw tbh

[dim canopy]

Can we say MK fell off

[halcyon sundial]

people would go gorilla mode over that

[halcyon sundial]

yes MK has fallen off a cliff

[dim canopy]

Which one you prefer tho MK or Tekken or or Street Fighter

[halcyon sundial]

well i mean overall series wise MK is my game. but i do find myself playing more Tekken and SF these days.

[dim canopy]

I am a MK fan

[halcyon sundial]

which character do you main?

[dim canopy]

I main knoob 🤣

or Dvorah, jade

[halcyon sundial]

you can probs tell i main Scorpion. However over the years I have had times where I have mained Quan Chi, Raiden and Rain.

[dim canopy]

Quan chi is awesome

I like his abilities more then raiden

That portal things is cool 😎

[solid hinge]

Should i have minigun or 30m rounds for my little bird

[dusk ice]

Based

[random blade]

Minigun is the only way

[graceful sleet]

yew new gameeeeeeeeeeee

[south radish]

Soon™

[graceful sleet]

sooooooooon

[random ruin]

Hey, anyone else having troubles with Battlefield 3 graphics being extremely flickery?

[reef lintel]

is bfv worth buying still?

[pulsar valve]

Probably

[graceful sleet]

yesssssss

[graceful sleet]

your graphic card

[graceful sleet]

graphic is so cuteeeeee

[solid hinge]

I shoot an enemy, they die in 50 shots, they return fire, I die in 3 shots

Only in Battlefield

[jolly fog]

Is BFV still very active on Xbox?

[limber bough]

Maybe hit 3 shots

[graceful sleet]

headshots

[pliant ledge]

guys i just buy the battlefield 5 and when i launch game i have " Crash report handler" with ea anticheat, can someone help me pls?

[graceful sleet]

i know fix that

[pliant ledge]

how

[graceful sleet]

Give me a moment I have to remember

[pliant ledge]

okay

I have already tried all the methods on the Internet, and nothing helps

[graceful sleet]

ok go to game folder

installation folder

[pliant ledge]

yes

im here

whats next

[graceful sleet]

Search for the file called CryptBase.dll in the search engine

and delete

[pliant ledge]

this file is not here

I already tried this method but this file is located in the system itself

system file

i cant delete this

[graceful sleet]

system32?

[pliant ledge]

yes

[graceful sleet]

delete

[pliant ledge]

funny

it is not work

[graceful sleet]

When you delete it you will be able to play, it is not a system file.

why no?

What appears to you?\

[pliant ledge]

Windows won't let me remove it

[graceful sleet]

what

[pliant ledge]

idk why

[graceful sleet]

send me a screenshot

[pliant ledge]

wait

[upper berry]

Deleting System 32 fucks up your pc

[jagged girder]

Anyone here getting the ea server connection error for BF1

Worked fine yesterday now it times out saying connection error

[uneven cape]

its ironic that the europeans and americans in bf1 have 'diverse' skins but not the ottoman empire which had Circassians, Arabs, Kurds, Armenians, Syriacs, Azeri, Lebanese, Lazes...

[graceful sleet]

americans? what side

North america or south america

or Central America

[junior patio]

do yall have blurry graphics even at max settings and native res?

in bf1

[hasty marsh]

BF1 only added minorities when they were easily recognizable by Americans

[next socket]

is anyone playing bf1 operations rn?

[uneven cape]

north america

[uneven cape]

yeah and at it was a really big mistake

like on france or usa i can pass but black soldiers on imperial germany on the WESTERN FRONT????

[rich ember]

...don't act like you gave a shit about that prior to BF1 though, let's be real.

[jagged girder]

anyone else here unable to connect to battlefield at all on xbox?

[uneven cape]

i would indeed give a shit since im a big fan of history and like to play accurate games

theres literally no reason to add those besides pushing an agenda

but theres no point of being against it since its been 8 years already

[young saddle]

Maybe contact ea

Support

Sussy

[solid hinge]

On battlefield 5 can u still get like all skins like u could when it was supported? Or are new players limited to a select few?

[jagged girder]

Tried there

did what they suggested n still nothing

[young saddle]

I get what Climax means.
I actually didnt pay much attention. I guess he wants a more historically accurate ww1 game or game in general

[jagged girder]

youtubes not working either so has to be the actual console

[young saddle]

Yikes

Oh

Yea your internet is badboy

[jagged girder]

youtubes on an infinite loading loop

it all worked fine yesterday

now this

[uneven cape]

tbh i dont got a problem with the guns on bf1 even tho they are inaccurate cuz they were not used or used in a very small scale

[young saddle]

Restart

[uneven cape]

i think it brings even more uniqueness

[young saddle]

They had to make it that way

Otherwise it would have been boring

[lofty ermine]

Don't let old BF servers die, I beg you EA

[jagged girder]

reset the entire console to restore its original settings and not even that worked

[solid hinge]

I used to play on ps4 years ago but on pc now and have nothing and don’t wanna be stuck with only the boring skins

[uneven cape]

yeah but its still good they gave spotlight to obscure ass weapons like the hellriegel or smg 08

[young saddle]

Im sorry

I like bf1

[solid hinge]

Are tides of war unlocks still in bfv or has all content been removed other than assignment unlocks

[graceful sleet]

I wonder why they never fix the EA anticheat issue in BFV, crash handler report.... they ruined everything

and we can't use mods anymore.... i used use mods

[dusk ice]

Say bye to bf3 and bf4

Say hi to bf1 and bf 5

😈

[graceful sleet]

EA being EA

[thick seal]

its only being shut down on 360/ps3. those consoles are ancient

[lofty ermine]

I included BF1 in old BFs

😈

[dusk ice]

Damn even activision takes better care of their old game's servers than EA

[graceful sleet]

Really?

Black ops 3 cheater can run codes in your pc

[dusk ice]

Well, atleast on consokes

Multiplayer clients are whats mostly used rn

[junior torrent]

Thank the community for creating alternate multiplayer server

[warm atlas]

Yeah I don't even touch Bo3 without T7 on

[jagged girder]

ok so i got everything working

but now an interface updates stuck on 97%

i hate this console

i want to hit cancel but what if it breaks again 💀

ok i pressed it and now its stuck on 0%

my god

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

i am on the verge of insanity

this slizzbin of a console is going to make me go insane

[stable swift]

[dusk ice]

Which one

[jagged girder]

battlefield 1

[dusk ice]

Thats not a console

[jagged girder]

oh

xbox one

s

robot white

500gb

[rich ember]

I think BF1 would've been a better game if the SMG 08 wasn't in it.

[jagged girder]

i only use it to down planes these days

🗿

well

actually to bait them

then i slap them with the aa rocket gun

[rich ember]

I think it's unreasonable to give Assault a mini-LMG, basically.

84 rounds in a mag.

[jagged girder]

Hellriegal defensive has 120

[rich ember]

The Hellriegal is not free of sin.

[jagged girder]

Pretty good tho

Not the defensive

[rich ember]

eh.

[jagged girder]

its shit

recoil is wild

5 shots in and your staring at the sky

[rich ember]

i am skeptical, having actually played BF1.

[jagged girder]

i have 1100 hours 💀

[rich ember]

Oh you're on xbox

okay.

that makes a lot more sense now.

[jagged girder]

Is that a

bad thing

[rich ember]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

it just makes more sense now.

[jagged girder]

probably worth mentioning i have service stars for both guns

[rich ember]

I don't recall having unlocked the Defensive Hellriegel. At some point I stopped caring about trying to unlock all weapon variants.

[jagged girder]

defensive is same thing just more upward recoil

bipod and sight do nothing special unless you plan to go prone on a hill

[vale grail]

How it's legal to even have online services running in such a compromised state is downright sickening.

[junior torrent]

Ask Activision

And you know why already

[vale grail]

in general

[royal gull]

Playing Wake Island Conquest in Battlefield V is so fucking good

[vale grail]

there should be a federal law passed that if a game's online functionality is comprimised then all connection abilities are blocked/have the servers shut down until the security breach is cleared up.

[vale grail]

I miss when napalm actually had radious

[junior torrent]

Meanwhile, Europe is onto something good

America is a wasteland for game

[vale grail]

Not even the good kind like FallOut

Outside of Detroit, Newark, most of California, New York Shitty, Compton, any border state, and so on

That's regular boring wasteland

[junior torrent]

That's why it's better to live in underrated places

[vale grail]

like space

[ebon ruin]

Anyone know if there’s any active community servers on BF5, or is it just Official EA servers? 🙂

[marble nacelle]

Anyone to play and chill

[vale grail]

Specify. what. platform. you're. ON.

[modern saddle]

Anyone willing to help me get death from above trophy for the plat I suck at flying planes so it’s going take me forever without some help on bfv ps5

[wet fossil]

That's the one for taking out manned emplacements right

Get rockets and fire them at flak guns. If you have them lined up properly, it should finish them off

[west mirage]

There's alot of community servers for BFV

[young saddle]

Amemus

[paper narwhal]

Anyone down to squad up

[obsidian hinge]

The game is far from dead

[mossy grove]

anyone know how to avoid cheaters in bf1

[obsidian hinge]

There is no magical solution for it. Just wait for the EA anti cheat that is coming to BF1 now tomorrow and some cheaters will be banned.

[rich ember]

some of them. but not most of them, if BFV is any indication.

[obsidian hinge]

True

I said some

[uneven cape]

its overhated

[rich ember]

no it's not.

if anything it's underhated.

people don't talk about the issues the game has with it's gameplay enough.

[uneven cape]

honestly not that bad if u use long-medium range weapons or one kill guns like shotguns

[rich ember]

but that's the thing if you have to use specific types of weapons to make a game seem less bad, then it's bad.

[uneven cape]

arty trucks or camping tanks are 10000% more annoying since u literally cant do nothing about it

[rich ember]

because using specific kinds of weapons to make the game seem less bad is just sidestepping the issues with the game

just because you're not experiencing issues doesn't mean they don't exist.

[uneven cape]

well thats the whole deal of classes

[rich ember]

and that's what i think people don't get about BF1.

It has issues, regardless of if you're experiencing them.

[uneven cape]

thats the problem with old mp games like bf1

people just use the metas instead of trying out all of the weapons like when it first released

[rich ember]

but they're doing that because they're sidestepping the issues of the game.

[uneven cape]

like which issues

[rich ember]

Keeping to gunplay specific issues, i'd say visual recoil existing and suppression are the major ones.

Perks are also an issue, creating scenarios where a frag grenade won't one shot someone but you wouldn't be able to know that because you can't see what perks people are running.

grenade spam in general is an issue with that game.

[ebon ruin]

Have they really announced a new anti-cheat for battlefield 1? If so, will they implement it for BF5 as well? 😮

[rich ember]

it's not a new anticheat, it's the same one that's in 2042. It's already in BFV.

[ebon ruin]

That’s awesome! 👏🏼🤩

[rich ember]

i mean

it's certainly a thing

Though, I don't think it'll be that effective.

I think it probably won't ban most cheaters, and it'll break things that server owners do on their servers, like I'm in a discord of people that run BF1 servers that would kick people for using the SMG08.

The new anticheat would break that.

[buoyant monolith]

Did they add the new anticheat yet

[jolly fog]

Is BFV still pretty active on Xbox?

[tropic vortex]

2042 is active

[jolly fog]

[upper berry]

Always will be. Especially on new gen

[tropic vortex]

It was very active during the weekend, didn't run into any in game regulars

[wet fossil]

Playing Company Of Heroes 3 (got it 50% off) has me wishing they kept on with BFV

Lots of stuff they could have done with it, the Italian Front for starters

[uneven cape]

couldve added russia, china and italy ☹️

[limber tusk]

I love Metro

[vale grail]

It was DOA due to wokie revisionism and censorship. BFV could've easily have been a spiritual sucessor to WaW but no, we got diet cod with cringe 'elites' that're just operators under a different name

[vale grail]

The BF3 map, the book or the game?

[tropic vortex]

All of them

[wet fossil]

You lose me the moment you said woke

[vale grail]

What else are you going to call it when the history was so heavily and deliberately rewritten by someone that reeked of SBI?

And worse still DICE is a Scandinavian company, the Heavy Water plant story was insanely inaccurate and downright insulting to the MEN that risked everything to destroy that facility.

[wet fossil]

Jesus Christ shut the fuck up

[vale grail]

No, I don't think I will. Don't like what I've to say? Ignore me and move along. You've your right to speak your peace about what you like and dislike, as do I.

[wet fossil]

Yeah well at least I don’t fly off the handle as soon as I see a woman

[vale grail]

That being said, if you don't want to talk to me, move along.

[hasty marsh]

get a reply at 1am yesterday morning
that conversation is still going
good god

[vale grail]

What the actual hell are you on about? This isn't some slavering sexist crap, it's quite literally a censorship and rewriting of history that replaced Norwegian men with one singular mary sue.

[hasty marsh]

Nordlys does not depict the heavy water raid.

Its set a few months prior

[tight rain]

Just your average discord argument

[vale grail]

I don't even know what it's trying to depict honestly, it's set up as such but outside of the 'super hero alk history self insert' chick we play as, the story makes no sense.

[hasty marsh]

The main idea, iirc, was acts of resistance that went undocumented

so, bog standard historical fiction.

[tight rain]

Would be neat to see more games dedicate campaigns and stuff to the resistances

[hasty marsh]

the main issue with BFV's war stories is simply that they are not well written

[vale grail]

If that's the case, then good concept and understandable to have a level creativity. However this 'undocumented resistence' showcases someone going around and Jane Wicking three different facilities and taking on a sub pen solo.

[vale grail]

Last Tiger was the only saving grace.

[hasty marsh]

🇷🇸

[hasty marsh]

Its not even that good. It just hits the bare minimum of having characters with some depth.

[thick seal]

it wasnt just writing, the entire visual aesthetic was off

why was the blue viking face paint a thing? (something that is not even historically a thing in either situation)

[vale grail]

Even so, it was still better than the rest by contrast. Hell, there were plenty of women that fought on the frontlines, see the USSR for example. The 388th Night Witches, the instance of an all female T34 crew along with various other foot soldiers as well.

[hasty marsh]

this 'undocumented resistence' showcases someone going around and Jane Wicking three different facilities and taking on a sub pen solo.
Its an FPS campaign, this dissonance is constant in the genre. Not much different to the tiger crew taking on an army of shermans like a wehraboos wet dream

[vale grail]

CoD 2 shows female soldiers in the Soviet campaign during the Stalingrad battle.

[vale grail]

Technically there was a Panther that took down about 30 T34s, and despite it being that kind of stretch, I think it was more meant to showcase the legendary status of the 'King Tiger'.

[hasty marsh]

You are not driving a king tiger

[vale grail]

Wait, my bad you're right, the varient of Tiger that was driven

is a Tiger 1 if memory serves.

[hasty marsh]

you just have a normal tiger.
Now, a tiger is a heavy tank, and heavy tanks are usually very strong and not to be dismissed, but the tiger's mythology is overblown. Any 76mm sherman could pen a tiger, and even a 75mm could in the right circumstances

[vale grail]

Hence the hell of doing that final arena to get the Last Tiger multiplayer fit for the tank

You see the upgraded firefly Shermans with longer barrels in the campaign.

[hasty marsh]

Even if a tank cant pen it, slamming a shell in the side can deal damage to internals and whatnot. The tiger, on paper, is worse than a panther in most aspects, and the main reason for its good performance is that its a comfortable drive

[hasty marsh]

iirc those are just 76mm shermans

[vale grail]

Steering wheel with a differential gear, I remember. But back to the main topic though; Had the developers been given actual creative freedom to make the game as accurate as possible, we'd probably have an entire campaign about the Night Witches.

If they wanted to tell actual 'niche untold and unknown' stories, then there's plenty of options.

[hasty marsh]

I dont know how well a war story based on bombers would play. Plus this would involve making the eastern front, which is a large task

[vale grail]

Well that's what we get when you let investors peer pressure a company into making a game early

[thick seal]

It's okay to tell a story through the lens of ww2 that didnt actually happen

[hasty marsh]

thats not a time constraint. Shoving in an extra front is just scope creep

[vale grail]

Despite its numerous flaws, even 2017's CoDWWII showcases us playing as a believable female character that's doing spy and sabotage mission work.

[thick seal]

saving private ryan is not real. its still a great story

[hasty marsh]

personally, I think BFV should have been nothing but the eastern front. This would satisfy most of the developers and players desires.

[vale grail]

WaW had both Pacific and Eastern Front.

[hasty marsh]

And BFV has scandanavia, westen europe, and north africa. The same amount of theaters that 1 launched with

[vale grail]

So it's not out of the question, it's more-so a challenge to the shite design philosophy that's plagued dice since then.

[vale grail]

CoD 2 had the Normandy Breakout, Stalingrad and Afrika Coprs missions.

[hasty marsh]

One of the main reasons BFV's live service was so slow was because they were insistent on setting each map in a new location.

[hasty marsh]

so... 3 theaters

[vale grail]

So to say it's not doable isn't an argument I'd gel with. Because it's not about scope, it's about direction and main intent of design. A game from 2005 has more in it than a game from 2018.

[hasty marsh]

it's about direction and main intent of design
managing scope is a large part of maintaining direction and main intent.

[vale grail]

Yes, but unlike BFV we actually saw accurately portrayed female soldiers in Stalingrad levels, Sw@stikas and the characters we played as weren't some 'backstory gun-ho' super heros, they were just three of many.

[hasty marsh]

we were discussing scope

[vale grail]

And DICE's scope was aimed at microtransactions and skinsets that just bloated the game's files and download size. We should've gotten a game with the scope of locale AND accuracy that could've been.

[hasty marsh]

for the record, I do not think V is a good game. I just think the solution is not what you think it is

[hasty marsh]

scope isnt file size

that is mostly irrelevant to this issue

[vale grail]

I know, I mean collectively.

[vale grail]

Imagine basically having WAW's visceral dismemberment, and guttural brutalism that shows the reality of war mixed with Battlefield's envromental destruction...

That'd be a game worth playing and the game that V should've been. BF1 nearly had dismemberment but they couldn't get it to work on time for its release. We could've seen them bring that feature back.

[hasty marsh]

Personally, I think V focusing on the wierd niche fronts is a good idea, but they did not execute them properly. Unlike BF1, V does very little to teach people about the events it depicts, and often depicts them incorrectly.
V could have been a game with 5 factions, for example: UK, France, Netherlands, Germany, and Italy. It could have had a codex and operations cutscenes to set the tone. And it could have had a more muted art style instead of cherry picking the most saturated environments possible

[vale grail]

Exactly, you don't realize how amazing a game can be when you notice all the next one in line is missing

[thick seal]

battlefield isnt going to have dismemberment or crazy gore lmao

[vale grail]

You don't appreciate details like that until they're missing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wEXxN5b5tk

Barring the cringey and dated grunge metal in the coD WaW reveal trailer, the brutality on display is something that actually says; 'this shit's intense'.

[hasty marsh]

the main reason it cant is because of the revive system. Reviving someone who has had their arm blown off, and watching that arm reattach, is cartoonish

[thick seal]

yep

[vale grail]

And then cut it to BFV's reveal trailer, you've no real clue what's going on, and then Metal Girl Solid Phantom Pain shows up to save you.

[thick seal]

bfv's trailer should be studied in classes

who the fuck decided on no music

[hasty marsh]

tbh only the russian half of WaW is any good.
The pacific half is generic and doesnt make you think

[vale grail]

Even so, is it any more 'cartoonish' than shooting someone with a a rpg and reviving him with paddles after he fell off of a skyscraper.

[hasty marsh]

yes

[vale grail]

On the surface, no. But if you understand Indonesian you'd realize you're burning forced concspits that were POWs.

[hasty marsh]

...
fuck

[vale grail]

Oh and in the later levels you're killing soldiers wearing glasses, showcasing the decline in the Imperial Japanese manpower lowering conscript standards.

[hasty marsh]

those are neat and dark details but the plot itself doesnt really drive it home, IMO.
Saving Private Ryan pulls the same trick

[vale grail]

Oh, and in little resistance, right before you storm the final bunker where you take on the tanks, if you take the left tunnel you can see a soldier quickly prime a grenade off the side of his helmet and then clasps it in his hands pretenging he died from a stomach wound to try and kill the player(us) in a suicide bombing.

[vale grail]

It does in the sense of showing how insane the Japanese were with their tactics, rigging bodies with bombs, setting tripwire explosives, and their tactics overall.

[hasty marsh]

having the pacific highlighted by a few subtle details also really doesnt compare well when the russian campaign is all hell breaking loose. The actual characters in the pacific campaign dont play into the themes as well as watching your russian squadmates succumb to bloodlust

[hasty marsh]

yes the japanese were brutal but that on its own isnt making me think. Theres not much to digest there beyond shock value

[thick seal]

and the choice to not include the darker realities of the pacific isnt exactly a mistake in Battlefield

[vale grail]

Weather or not it's shock value is more subjective I'd say at this point but yeah. Will of The Red Army is quite frankly one of the best soundtracks in any game.

[hasty marsh]

well, what else is there? Does the pacific campaign have you asking any questions like the russian one does?

[thick seal]

a ww2 themed game doesnt need to delve deep into the atrocities of the real war

[vale grail]

It rather is, it downplays the real life experiences that all sides went through, when it comes to history, it should be shown as true to form as possible. Regardless of what side you see.

[hasty marsh]

Im sorry but how the fuck are you going to incorporate that into conquest?

[vale grail]

Yes, actually. "Why'd they kill themselves rather than surrender"

[thick seal]

i think making a game at all downplays it tbh, since in no way is war a game

but its also far enough removed that its ok

[vale grail]

Take out the cringey elites, remove the inaccuracies and give actual dismemberment...

[hasty marsh]

youre kidding yourself if you think that would make it embody the brutality of the pacific

[vale grail]

No, I don't think those changes alone would be enough but it'd be a start.

The game feels so cartoony and overexagerated. Quite frankly the fact DICE has the nerve to call BFV a WWII shooter is sickening in itself.

[hasty marsh]

I mean deeper questions than a historical curiosity.

[vale grail]

And let's not forget, there was actual footage from said battles used in the cutscenes of WaW, adding another layer of 'this actually happened'. WaW only has a fair bit of technical inaccuracies that're mostly just division names and the occasional date.

[vale grail]

Ok fair enough, BO1's Nova Six campaign mission is a better example of what you're going for I think

[thick seal]

bf games are non serious, hollywood esque war experiences

[vale grail]

Modern Hollywood sure, but back in the early 2000's there were humourous aspects but it wasn't some pip pip cherreo and fruitloops overwatch shite. The older games were much more grounded.

BFV is just fundamentally a shit game that was made for all the wrong reasons.

[hasty marsh]

no battlefield game ever grasped the seriousness of war, not fully.
The closest was the intro to bf1

it was always hollywood

[thick seal]

like the intense gritty bf3 lines, they're still funny

its not fully serious

[vale grail]

I get SOME creative liberties are needed for the sake of gameplay functionality in multiplayer and that much I understand, but even so that shouldn't be an excuse to make guns behave so drastically different than their real life counterparts.

[hasty marsh]

its not about the historical innacuracy

[vale grail]

It's a fictitious modern setting, I'm not really bothered by that. It's when the setting is historical and not respecting said history that boils my blood molten.

[hasty marsh]

war isnt defined by what gun you have in your hands, thats the least important part

[vale grail]

Still, as someone who knows how most of these firearms handle, it pisses me off to see them protrayed so... weakly

[hasty marsh]

let me tell you, if you made a fun arcadey game about omaha and showed it to a guy who lost his legs there, he's not gonna give a fuck if the guy had the wrong rifle.

[vale grail]

I think he'd just have a PTSD attack

But still as someone who knows the actual history, in the campaign mode it should be accurate, in multiplayer the weapons are more subjective depending on what the style is. If it's more traditional then yeah the weapons matter but if it's more lese fare and flexable then I'd understand. In that aspect it boils down to the games' directive choices.

[hasty marsh]

the only multiplayer game that I think comes close to getting it is hell let loose, and thats mostly by accident. That game is a miserable, exhausting, and nihilistic experience.

[vale grail]

Sounds fun

I've to get going, y'all have a good one

[hasty marsh]

it is fun until you figure out how exploitable its mechanics are

[thick seal]

I just find it boring

i dont understand how people get so immersed in such a boring game

its just a roleplaying game i guess

like ww2 dnd

[hasty marsh]

granted, HLL achieves this mostly by accident. It gets these qualities because as a game is frankly poorly designed, especially as a tac shooter.

its not deliberatley nihilistic, but its nihilistic because the devs failed to give you any reason to preserve yourself.

(and in some cases its outright beneficial to die)

[hasty marsh]

this is the case for most milsims. yeah theres a tactical aspect but most people play them just to be immersed.

[tight rain]

Me when I accidentally spawn 15 minutes away from the front

[hasty marsh]

me when I need more rocket ammo

[formal ivy]

hey fam just booted bf1 after not playing since 2016, is it normal for the UI to go away entirely while searching for an operation/quickmatch? and the resolution is stretched?

main menu is fine, in-game is fine, its JUST when you select a mode to queue for

my friend and i eventually realized that this buggy, no-UI world screen was actually a queue lol and we left it instead of backing out

[vale grail]

you answered your own question; some of us want that kind of game

[vale grail]

specify what platform you're on?

[thick seal]

i guess, i think dnd at least has fun systems. hll is a bad shooter

[formal ivy]

PC

managed to play a few TDM games and a conquest, bummer you cant really get into operations that was my main hope

[river mantle]

Yo is anyone here able to help me boost the death from above trophy on battlefield 5

I can’t do it in pub games because I can’t fly planes for shit

[solid hinge]

Is there still any assignment or tides of war unlocks in the game? Or has everything been removed and are we left with the same couple skins for every gun?

[sterile jolt]

Hello

Can anyone help me with BFV assignments?

[young saddle]

It was 2am when you wrote god dayum

Aint no way im online at 2am

[vale grail]

To each their own

[vale grail]

More proof there's an active playerbase for Battlefield 1 that're diehard people. A massive and extensive overhaul to fix the game's historical inaccuracies has just been dropped and it looks amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFm-XWifajk

[split granite]

Can anyone help me with some co op trophies on bf3? It’s my favourites bf game and since the servers shut down in a month I wanted to get the platinum

Busy playing the goat 2042

[hybrid hawk]

@tropic vortex is 2042 worth it? ive been on the fence about it for a year

[tropic vortex]

You should've got it last year man Dark creations was awesome

Still worth it

[hybrid hawk]

why

whats so cool about 2042

[rich ember]

it's really cool how the mouse input is broken and it never got fixed

[hybrid hawk]

whats bad about it? genuinely asking

[rich ember]

did you not read what i just said

like i wasn't joking about that.

[hybrid hawk]

thats all?

[rich ember]

there are probably other things but I don't remember.

[sterile jolt]

For me maps are too big, little to no cover for infantry

Also no bloom unlike BF1,3,4 so people can kill you from 100 meters away with SMGs

BFV also had no bloom but effective range in BFV is like 30 meters max for assault rifles and SMGs due to their recoil

Recoil is non existent in 2042

[rich ember]

BFV had no bloom because the bloom was converted to recoil.

[hybrid hawk]

i see battlefield hates infantry

[vague goblet]

the lengths modders go for historical accuracy, its gorgeous https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFm-XWifajk

the video is "We Fixed Battlefield 1's Historical Inaccuracies"

[rich ember]

ok

can you fix the gameplay?

[upper berry]

It’s a video game. No video game needs to be histrionic accurate

Real I just watched that

Arty truck not powerful enough

[solid carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/stop-it-get-some-help-gif-15058124

[uneven cape]

its sad that both cod and battlefield used to be serious about war and portray it how it was and now thats left for both franchises is shitty unrealistic games in where you run around with operators with anime skins

[hasty marsh]

well, spread to recoil did bloom over time

[urban canopy]

Yeah it worked for cod though. Not so much for battlefield.

[hasty marsh]

that said, the bf1918 mod uniforms look really good.
It gives unique assets to every faction and clears up clutter without loosing the class sillhouettes

[hasty marsh]

it doesnt work for CoD.
why am I supposed to be interested in their 1990's game when I know I will be shooting at the Joker or some stupid shit in 3 months?

[urban canopy]

When I said it worked, I meant financially.

[uneven cape]

warzone straight up saved activision's ass

i haev not seen a cod game received positively since mw2019

[uneven cape]

been planning on downloading that mod for a while but i heard u needed some launcher or something to get it working and im also worried the game might detect it as cheats

[bronze cosmos]

New game like battlefield heroes!!!!!!

https://youtu.be/_n6NIFyuYxw?si=AhAw3y1k8F6pp4sw

[vale grail]

Went from honouring the men and women to having niki manag twerking on people.

[rich ember]

...i'd say it hasn't really been honoring anyone for a long time

[vale grail]

Hell Wolfenstein's more respectable of the Holocaust! And it's alt history.

[hasty marsh]

Once BF1 gets the kernal level AC then the modding tools will be detected as cheats, yes.
You wont get banned, the game just wont start until the mods are removed

[vale grail]

At least to CoDWWII's credit they had a level showcasing a camp at the end.

[vale grail]

Which sucks bootycheeks

[hasty marsh]

depends if DICE actually does it or not. They got a lot of pushback because the AC effects server plugins

notably it interfered with weapon-bans

[halcyon sundial]

this tired old line is cope. we used to have "video games" where people felt that it reflected the historical subject matter just fine. like the more you pull the line out and type it does not make it cogent.

[solid hinge]

the reason why these games aren't historically accurate is because of politics...identity politics to be exact...Dice and EA like to cater to the "what about me?" crowd. It's just more woke/sjw garbage. If there were women killing men on the battlefield then it makes sense to have them on the frontlines. Then again, I don't really care as long as the game is good meh. Especially in 2042 where there could be women like that for real at that point. Women can shoot better than men can so whatever.

[rich ember]

i'd argue for the vast majority of people playing BF1 it didn't really matter.

[solid hinge]

it mattered to me but I still liked the game

[rich ember]

Most people don't really understand enough about WW1 to really care about the inaccuracies and even if they did, you'd have to basically not be playing the game to actually notice them.

[solid hinge]

most people are dumb though

most people don't know much about history in general

in most cases you woke you go broke

[rich ember]

I am aware of that, but knowing every single detail about WW1 is not exactly a reasonable expectation to have of anyone, let alone gamers.

[solid hinge]

you don't need to

just knowing some basics is all that is needed

[rich ember]

what's considered basics.

[solid hinge]

like knowing women weren't on the frontlines

that's one

I mean, it's obvious companies are pushing politics in their games same with movies and TV I am not saying everything is woke but yeah

the average IQ in the USA is not even 100 anymore

[rich ember]

IQ is a meaningless measurement.

[solid hinge]

sorry but not sorry

[rich ember]

🙄

[hasty marsh]

even with some basic knowledge theyre pretty noticable, but people dont care because the game is still fun and immersive

[rich ember]

I'd disagree about it being fun but yeah i guess it can be immersive.

doing the easter egg was pretty immersive.

[hasty marsh]

regardless of what you think, the people playing 1 find it fun

[rich ember]

when i wasn't looking at my second monitor for the solutions to the puzzles

felt like i was playing a WW1 themed puzzle game.

[hasty marsh]

the main thing with the immersion is that something doesnt need to be authentic to engross the player. Its the same reason you can get immersed in a fictional world. its mostly coming down to environments, pacing, and sound design.

V fails to engross not because of "le women" but because its a tonal clusterfuck

[rich ember]

also cause it's just not a good game even for people that don't care that much about immersion.

[distant ice]

Guys? Should I get the Hero’s of the Great War bundle or is it a scam?

[hasty marsh]

its mostly overpriced crap, only grab it if you really want the preorder bonus skins

[distant ice]

Any new stuff? Or just skins

[hasty marsh]

just skins. Theres a couple unique knives if they count.

[distant ice]

I’m immediately dislike that bundle 😭 and waiting for premium to be on sale.

guys i installed bf1 but ea app is saying i dont have access

i cant send screenshot here so please anyone help

[charred spoke]

i bought the game on steam

[junior patio]

are u in the right accout?

[charred spoke]

which account

[junior patio]

the one u bought bf1 from steam

[charred spoke]

yes i only have one account on steam

[junior patio]

on ea i mean

[charred spoke]

wait

what

i just made the account for ea for bf1

[junior patio]

try to link it to steam

[charred spoke]

EA sucks ngl

trying to fucking link but it keeps getting stuck on a blue screen

[crimson tinsel]

If linking accounts in a browser gives you blue screen you probably have completely different issues

[charred spoke]

browser?

i am doing all this in ea app

[junior patio]

in ea app go to accout, manage, then in browser click connections

[charred spoke]

ok thanks

it worked

[crimson tinsel]

or just go to https://myaccount.ea.com/cp-ui/connectaccounts/index

[charred spoke]

i was this close of uninstalling

lol

guesss i wont uninstall now

[solid hinge]

we r in 2024

there is nothing u cant solve

[charred spoke]

i suppose'

is the multiplayer for this game still alive

or just campaign

[junior patio]

like 15 full servers

or more

[solid hinge]

bf1 got a new anticheat before 2 or 3 months

ofc its alive and it will stay alive

bf1 campaign is the best campaign in battlefield games

[charred spoke]

dang thats cool

[charred spoke]

[solid hinge]

yo go hop into the game and enjoy

[charred spoke]

yea i will

[bronze storm]

So, the reddits kinda dead. ive had a copy of BFV for a while now, my old pc couldnt really run it the best, got a new one this month. Tried to pop it in, and having issues relating to the anti cheat? there uh.... Anyway around that?

[junior patio]

btw is there any way to appeal a ban on a official dice server?

a staff banned me cuz i kept killing him

[tropic vortex]

Come on bud I'm sure he did it with good reason

[wary sigil]

the takes of the battlefield subreddit frighten me

specially regarding movement

Like bro just play arma

I understand not wanting call of duty warzone level slide cancel bunnyhopping movement but brother i promise yo

"no jumping" what

yes slide should be in the game, everyone can live without slide cancelling thats a warzone streamer thing mostly but lmao

[livid bay]

Imo, sliding should be in the game as long as it isn't like every floor was just freshly mopped and polished

[wary sigil]

should depend on the surface

then again

coding nightmare

would be fun though

sliding 20 cm on rough sand

and then 10 meters on ice

[livid bay]

Yeah, if that's possible it'd be really cool. If it isn't, it should be a very short slide you can use to quickly get behind cover

[wary sigil]

"no movement" so what do we just sit down and dont play the objective

"battlefield is realistic" okay buddy

[pulsar valve]

literally grandpa server

[livid bay]

Battlefield definitely isn't as realistic as the redditors argue, but it's historically been quite slow in terms of movement compared to other arcade shooter franchises

[wary sigil]

I'm a bit more concerned about TTK

mil sim crowds want their 2-3 shot guns WITH the slow movement which like.. no

Did we forget MW19 played terribly on almost all of its maps except for 3

and that game had "fast" movement

[wet fossil]

BFV's current TTK is enough

Though I'm more partial to 1's slower pace

[vale grail]

Yeah having an amazing commentary about the US' warcrimes and dirty dealings along with a blind usage of drones from China's market to snoop dog announcers and crap in ghosts.

[livid bay]

I kinda like 4's ttk better but V's is good too

[vale grail]

BFV's problematic because the weapons don't line up to their actual counterparts, the MG42 does next to no damage and is bizarrely inaccurate, even when mounted/prone with it

[wet fossil]

The 42 shreds

It’s just cumbersome

[tight rain]

That’s a severe skill issue

It’s plenty accurate if you understand the concept of burst fire

[thick seal]

man picks the highest rate of fire mmg and doesnt understand why its the least accurate mmg

can we apply brain or what

[junior torrent]

No big surprise there

[drifting cedar]

Hey don’t anyone play bf1 on ps5????

Does

[eternal breach]

Since they are working on the new modern battlefield game but they need to learn their lesson from BF 2042 the mess they created.

Some other things I'm hoping for them to add in the new battlefield game and bring back the old game mode in the previous battlefield games like add bots to fill out the empty map servers when the players rent it, add co-op but make it better where you and your friends can grind so much to level up faster, etc however if they made a terrible mistake again and did not learn their previous mistake hell will break loose

[solid hinge]

Which battlefield is more popular for matches atm? Bf4 or bf5

I just want a good war fps but battlebit isn’t hitting rn

[junior torrent]

I just want better solo mode

[solid hinge]

In bf1 will I have everything unlocked instantly ?

[junior torrent]

why.. do you say that

[thorny swan]

not even close

bf1 has about 3 guns per class every other level unlockable at about 200 warbonds per gun

Unless you're competent at the game and score high your class progression will feel infinitely slower compared to titles like Call of Duty

personally it was why I quit BF1 the first time I swapped, even in bf5 I was leveling up at twice the rate I was in 1

the plus side to this is there is a lot more to unlock which keeps you in the game working to be a team player

or you're a dipshit backwoods sniper main who just fires into points and makes like 2500 score off of kills

to give you an idea of progression, my assault class is level 9 rn and i'm at 38 hours total playtime, mained assault until 2 months ago after which I swapped to medic

my assault just got his service assignment done and my medic did the first Service Assignment the first game I picked it up and played with it

tl;dr depends on what class you play and how much of a team player, but nothing instantly

[thorny swan]

my brother in christ this is entirely false

[vale grail]

I do use burst fire, the game just decided the gun is handled by someone with Parkinson's. It's a mounted machine gun and yet it shakes like you're going through an earthquate

*earthquake

[tight rain]

That’s odd, i used to regularly duel snipers, and more importantly win, with the 42

[jolly fog]

How has BFV on PC with modders been lately? Good or bad?

[hasty marsh]

modders?

[jolly fog]

Hackers

[vale grail]

I'm on PS5, maybe that has something to do with it?

[tight rain]

That is such intriguing thinking

[vale grail]

If not that, then maybe you used it prior to an update, I've been playing the game semi-consistently because some of my friends play it.

[tight rain]

Wouldn’t be my first guess but you really stepped out of the box there

I played the game till she was done updating

Other than “oh shit we broke the servers” updates

[vale grail]

Did you play it recently? I played it about a day ago and the MMGs just aren't all that accurate. The game has horrible hit registration, which makes no sense, I've low ping and join in-region servers.

[tight rain]

Been a hot second since i played

Unless they sneakily changed the recoil patterns and spread since then i don’t see why it would be different now

But who knows

[vale grail]

Maybe you missed an update? They constantly were overstretched and understaffed trying to juggle Battlefront 2 and BFV at the same time so odds are they fucked up more than even they realized.

[tight rain]

Maybe i did

Maybe they did one last fuck you before they left

[vale grail]

BFV was sadly a greasy shart smear on the McPlayPlace slide.

[tight rain]

I must enjoy huffing shit fumes then because i quite enjoyed the game

I’m sure you’d be surprised given the name

[rich ember]

what do you think of wolfenstein @tight rain

[vale grail]

No, it's decent enough where it actually had things that were worked on for more than five seconds

[tight rain]

Never played, seems neat

[vale grail]

Mind if I interject with my answer?

[rich ember]

you should

[rich ember]

i'll allow it

[tight rain]

It’s one of those games that I’m interested enough to play, but not enough to actually buy

Mostly out of laziness more so than the money

[vale grail]

Gutwrenchingly beautiful and insanely well-written outside of youngblood.

[vale grail]

I can shareplay it with you since we're both PSN.

[rich ember]

Youngblood is easily ignored.

[tight rain]

Nah i’m good thanks

Thanks though

[rich ember]

I've seen people claim that it's part of the trilogy, because apparently some people think that The Old Blood is a DLC and doesn't count.

Except it isn't and it does.

[vale grail]

It's decent enough but should've been shelved until DooM Eternal was finished. It needed work.

[tight rain]

Speaking of ignored does anyone remember that vr game?

[rich ember]

i know about it. apparently it wasn't that good.

[vale grail]

The timeline to my understanding of the 'modern canonical continuity' is Wolfenstein 2009, Wolfenstein The Old Blood, The New Order, The New Colossus, CyberPilot [PSVR FTW!] and Finally youngblood.

[rich ember]

but then again Bethesda's VR things are mostly not great

[rich ember]

i donno about the timeline.

I just know that the modern trilogy is The Old Blood, The New Order, and The New Colossus.

[vale grail]

CyberPilot is one of those one hour games. It's more a proof of concept but honestly it's got enough personality and creativity to where it's worth buying

[tight rain]

It’s not utter shit? I totally thought it would be utter shit

[vale grail]

Not really no, only complaint is that it's only an hour long if you know what you're doing because it's rather linear due to it being a VR game so the sense of scope needed to be carefully balanced as to not lose the graphic fidelity. I'd say it was done quite well enough to be enjoyable. It's hard to tell if you only watch the game, because VR is one of those 'lost in transaltion' deals. Like being in a nice park in real life rather than seeing a picture or video.

[prime pine]

If you want high rof and accurate use the m1922 or VGO. The mg42 has a very high belt size and rof so you know.

[tight rain]

The m1922 is an extremely good mmg

If i want something practical that would be my go to gun

[prime pine]

Yeah.

I liked the vgo because spinny drum.

[tight rain]

Incredibly based

[prime pine]

Mg42 was just a fun gun to use the back of kubelwagons and something.

I never used mmgs a whole lot since I found the bren much more practical.

[tight rain]

Sadly the lmgs were a far better choice 98 percent of the time

Can’t say i used em though

I’m a man of consistency

[prime pine]

Mmgs were really annoying to die to as it encouraged people to play with the crap visibility and you'd confuse them for dead bodies.

Whenever I used them I made sure not to prone unless it was on a super specific angle.

Windows were my friend.

[tight rain]

It was really fun just stopping the enemies from pushing a small area though

[prime pine]

Yeah.

Reminds me.

I once abused the bipod on the bren and got some crazy long shots.

Made this one dude pull out the sniper but because I moved back to medium range anchor it served him little use.

[vale grail]

The grouping and damage is all off though, the thing has an effective range of 1100 yards in real life yet struggles at barely over 200. Not to mention the ROT is only 970 instead of 1200rpm

It's all off.

[prime pine]

Cause it's a game.

I ran light bolt mg42 for memes.

[vale grail]

That's such a copout excuse for bad design

[prime pine]

It was powerful enough.

Games work within their own balance ecosystem.

I don't agree with how cod ww2 dealt with the mg42 but I understand within the context of the game it was done with their mind of how to balance it.

It ain't deep.

[halcyon sundial]

yep. modern gamers copout and cope with lines like this all the time.

[vale grail]

If a movie has bad writing with annoying characters, you can't just say 'cause it's a movie'. I get that balance is a thing that's needed for the sake of gameplay flow and such, but in BFV the main issues me and most others have is weapons either being insanely and needlessly weakened, or ridiculously overpowered. There's barely more than two guns per class that were practically balanced.

[halcyon sundial]

i dont get why people play defense for these companies and their devs so hard lol

[rich ember]

i feel like BFV's gunplay in general is a bigger problem than the MG42 not being a death laser.

[vale grail]

Half of 'em are like nerf guns and the other half are either insanely overcompensated like the ZH-29 or Type 2A.

[prime pine]

Games are more interactive than movies. Plus for the most part most of the guns are balanced pretty alright despite its simplistic damage model.

Zh 29 is a problem yeah.

I don't disagree.

[vale grail]

No no, you're right, it is overall. I was just useing that one gun as a 'for isntance'. Sorry it it felt like I was saying it's just a one off

[prime pine]

Heavy semis like the selb 1906 and zh plagued the damn game.

[vale grail]

Bad Company 2 did it best, all the weapons were powerful, there was more than enough to fit different ranges and playstyles. It was the 'Goldilocks Ratio' of gameplay.

[rich ember]

like, if BFV were purely a single player game, then sure, I think the MG42 should be a death laser. Because that would be fun.

But multiplayer, nah, that would get annoying quick.

[prime pine]

In the campaign it is yeah.

And combined arms because they use single player weapons which are jeez.

X2 to x3 more powerful than multiplayer weapons?

I know they're ultra scuffed.

[halcyon sundial]

yea BC2 was awesome because you saw people using a variety of weapons. unlike these days where you just see the same old tired weapons over and over.

[rich ember]

I don't remember anything about BC2's multiplayer.

[prime pine]

I can't really comment on bad co 2 because it wasn't my era.

[rich ember]

the only thing i remember about BC2 was that it didn't have prone. Which I think was pretty based of them.

[prime pine]

I know that there are meta games where you can have super popular weapons but still have a rather balanced diverse cast.

[vale grail]

MG3 with acog and magnum bullets in Bad Company 2 was like that @prime pine but the thing was, it was all heavy hitting.

[rich ember]

maybe modern BF games should do that.

[vale grail]

I know I'm 'Bad Comapny 2ing' all my answers but that game had neigh perfect weapons for each class, the ranges were great for all weapons, and nothing felt 'god mode' tier.

[prime pine]

The game had a longer ttk than most battlefield games (6hks was the standard) which made the guns feel pretty much the same.

[halcyon sundial]

the problem with the new gen of gamers is they carry on about "meta" too much, like a game has to have a strict meta.... bc2 was just great sandbox pick what you want for your playstyle or purpose and you can have great fun with it whilst remaining competitive.

[prime pine]

I did play bad co 2 but not as much as anything else these days.

[rich ember]

i mean a problem with them is that a lot of them don't really wanna get better at a game.

[prime pine]

The great part about battlefield is that you can pick most guns and farm.

[vale grail]

The 'meta' was just the spawncamping with stolen helis and mine spamming but both were decent enough to combat, it was overall down to pure skill

[prime pine]

The culture around gaming has changed.

[vale grail]

I remember the first time I rented it from BlockBuster.

[prime pine]

I can pick up the xm8 and do well. So what.

[halcyon sundial]

yea lol

[vale grail]

And living your life by trends makes you just as disposable as they are, once that trend fades out, so to does whatever relevance you had with it.

[rich ember]

if gaming is a trend it's lasted for a very long time.

[upper berry]

“Meta” been in any game. Halo since halo 2 (if that) for the longest meta is br and magnum. BF and COD games both metas is short TTK, easy to control and good mobility

[prime pine]

I'm grateful for the last months of bf5 on xbox oce people kept to the automatics for the most part.

[vale grail]

The better way of making games is finding a formula and sticking with it, it's like Coka Cola making 'New Coke'. No one wanted it.

[prime pine]

It got a little stale but hey so be it.

Amperr can't out range me.

[rich ember]

would be nice if BF1 kept BF4's quality of life improvement of not having visual recoil.

[halcyon sundial]

dont bring up Halo is in this discussion with its limited armory lmao. plus i am talking about how we are in a strict meta era.

[rich ember]

UMP45 in OG MW2.

[prime pine]

His point was that there's always going to be a meta game.

What matters is how it's balanced around.

[halcyon sundial]

my point was we are in a strict meta era.

[vale grail]

Or weapon suppresion causing the bullets to cant at 45 degree angles.

[halcyon sundial]

the meta is limited

[upper berry]

Meta is still within the topic. Small armory of weapons or not. No matter what game. Gos or not. Meta will occur

[halcyon sundial]

like you have games where most weapons and tools are excluded outside of the meta

[upper berry]

Rune scape have meta since the beginning

[halcyon sundial]

bro Halo is not the right game to bring up here.

[rich ember]

BF1 would've been better if it didn't have suppression i think. Like, no suppression, no visual recoil, a slide that works, would be a better game.

[prime pine]

Glad that battlefield hasn't always had that.

[upper berry]

It still have meta since OG halos

[halcyon sundial]

you need to talk about games that have large armory of weapons and tools

[vale grail]

Remember Syndrome from Incredibles; "When everyone is super, no one will be" Give ALL of us the hard hitting weapons, make them all do damage. The different firing patterns and range capibilities is what made Bad Company 1, 2, BF3, 4 and hell even HL good.

[halcyon sundial]

then you assess how many of them are excluded in comp/high end play

[upper berry]

I’m tryna say. Not only new gen gamers rely on meta. People rely on meta cuz its ease of use and it requires lil to no skill

[vale grail]

Large is subjective to what era we're talking about though. It's platform generation specific

[halcyon sundial]

yea coz it also meant you saw different playstyles, it just made the game more dynamic

[prime pine]

Bf5 lewis gun.

What a brain dead mag dump that was.

[rich ember]

me looking at the recon players cosplaying chris kyle and not helping

[halcyon sundial]

yes but my point was for the final time that new gen of gamers eat up the strict meta trend and that they are the problem. there is still time to educate them.

[rich ember]

maybe different playstyles isn't always a good thing.

[upper berry]

Meta trend been in games since beginning of gaming history.

[halcyon sundial]

lmao cosplaying chris kyle, i am stealing that one

[prime pine]

People will naturally gravitate to the best.

[upper berry]

^

[prime pine]

And cheesiest.

[halcyon sundial]

omg room temp moments in this chan rn

[rich ember]

i stole that from someone else so go for it

[halcyon sundial]

"STRICT" META

[vale grail]

Less is more, like titanfall 1, you had three core chassis' for titans, but it's how they were modified that made the difference.

[halcyon sundial]

read what i type please ffs

[upper berry]

Strict meta or not. It’s still meta

Meta is meta

[halcyon sundial]

omg i need to touch grass and speak to some intelligent lifeforms. laters.... geez

[upper berry]

When VHX dropped. It was meta due to ease of use and lil to no skill required.

[halcyon sundial]

yea titanfall 1 was good like that

[upper berry]

It’s still meta even after its nerf.

[prime pine]

Would like to see the m16 gain more traction cause it's a great gun.

[upper berry]

M16 is amazing

[vale grail]

To add onto the Halo argument, the weapons were good because they weren't tampered with, they were left alone and it forced people to get good at the game.

[prime pine]

Vhx is pretty much the same gun with a little less range.

And better err

Template.

[vale grail]

Complaining about how different guns handle overall is a weak argument, back then you learned to work around 'spam guns' until the counters were second nature

[prime pine]

How portal guns and 2042 guns differ from a base line is murky.

[upper berry]

One thing I enjoy about halo. It still have meta weapons but the skill gap is insane in halo compared to most shooters

[prime pine]

Halo is alright though the style of combat isn't for me.

The custom games are great though.

[rich ember]

Halo is not a game i can play seriously.

[vale grail]

Well given the portal was a puddle when we were promised an ocean is kind of the main reason why I'm rather pissed Bad Company 2's gone. That game was seeing 24/24 player servers. Portal was dead overall and had barely a fraction of the original games' content.

[prime pine]

Ok?

[upper berry]

I played a lot of ranked in halo games. Halo 4 was my sweatiest. Halo 3, I was to young. So I played for fun

[vale grail]

A gap is always closable if you're willing to make the leap

[upper berry]

Like most games. But the skill gap between players. It’s actually more noticeable than other shooters today.

[vale grail]

OG Halo, yeah. But I can't speak on modern halo because Halo 4's campaign and design pissed me off so much I bought a PS4

[upper berry]

It still have a skill gap. Even in today halos.

[prime pine]

Its definitely frustrating being part of a metagame when it feels like guns are released broken for the intents of generating revenue versus proper game design.

[upper berry]

Also been noticeable since OGs

[prime pine]

Also the matter of matchmaking which heavily influences it.

[vale grail]

I'll take your word for it broski.

[upper berry]

Current, new halo games have a higher skill gap due to the movement. But still there.

[upper berry]

True true

[vale grail]

Tell me about it, at least in Battlefield 1 the weapons were mostly just different firing patterns. SMG08 being an outlier because the damned thing's fire rate was cranked up to 11 Spinal Tap style for some unknown reason.

[prime pine]

The ttk being a factor too.

Bf1's weapon balance for the most part is nothing too out of the ordinary for battlefield.

[vale grail]

Hence the lack of any real complaint from me and most others I know who play it.

[prime pine]

Bf5's biggest outliers being what. The heavy semis.

Which I don't find too much of an issue because those players stay in their own realm.

[rich ember]

The SMG08 shouldn't have been put in the game.

[prime pine]

Fully automatics are also really well balanced though the stg 44 being underpowered is unfortunate.

[vale grail]

Every server there is apparently.

[prime pine]

It's really funny too people complaining about the type 2 a when it kills as fast as the suomi.

[vale grail]

It was applicable with all the other experimental weapons that never saw any real frontline service though. Had they not fucked the fire rate I'd have no issue.

[rich ember]

eh, 84 round SMG on assault, it already had one of the best guns in the game.

[vale grail]

The type 2A's complaints are mostly due to it's magazine size

[rich ember]

it didn't need two.

[prime pine]

It's just do you like Japanese machine pistol or the anti Russian suomi kp 31.

[prime pine]

Worse off bullet retention than the suomi.

5hk versus 4hk with exact same mag sizes.

It was easier to use but ultimately the same gun all in all.

Infact it killed slightly quicker further out but wasn't the most noticeable.

[vale grail]

People just use the type 2a because most didn't even look at the other guns. and it's a 'pacific theatre' weapon.

[prime pine]

It's a cool gun.

[vale grail]

That too.

[vale grail]

But still, BFBC2 MG3 with Acog and Magnum ammo my beloved

[rich ember]

...forgot i still have BF1 installed.

[vale grail]

Pity you're not PSN, I've been dying for active people to play with.

[rich ember]

yeah nah i'm not playing battlefield on playstation

[vale grail]

why's that?

[distant ice]

Psn servers are still up and working. Still lively

Xbox and psn players are mixed tho. Still great game, I put on no hud on and it was soo immersive.

I haven’t played 2042 in like 3 whole weeks

[wild jacinth]

Anyone have the issue where you can't download any of the dlc for bf4 with EA access on PlayStation?

[rich ember]

because i don't have one and also i just don't think i'd wanna do that.

[hollow minnow]

who has battelfield 1?

[random blade]

Nobody, it doesn’t exist

[tight rain]

Lmao this guy actually fell for the bf1 psyop

[random blade]

Seven nation army? What’s that?

[pliant garden]

Man I go back and play bf1 and I just realise dice fucked up so many maps by making them conquest assualt

[solid hinge]

Coz that’s how it is in bfv for new players

[dusk ice]

Dududuuduuduu duuuu

[teal fractal]

lol bf1 has few actual good maps gameplay wise

prise, nivelle, argonne, achi are the best inf maps imo

only good ones actually

some people might slide in a spice of fort but theres no real gunplay its just gadget spam

dyna down stairs dyna around corners, 6 gas grenades + 4 at nades + 3 inc + 2 crossbow launcher frags after an ordinary frag type beat fort

servers should ban grenades

makes games unplayable at times

[wet fossil]

At least those maps gave actually viable flanking routes

The most important thing about Fort De Vaux is that it's not a straight line. It's a square.

This means that there is always at least two ways out of any given situation

You're not just banging your head against a concrete wall

Hell of a lot better than any Metro deriviative

[cursive glen]

Some guns are good but some are not

[hearty sky]

Anyone else just keep getting put in games on their owns

[charred spoke]

which bf1 multiplayer mode have the most amount of players

online

[solid carbon]

conquest

[charred spoke]

what is like a gernal queue time

like i gotta wait for 10mins or is it short

ok

wish i could send a ss

😭

i am in a conquest match but

i am ALL ALONE

THE FUCK

the game is freaking dead

lol

[solid carbon]

only in asia i guess

[charred spoke]

but i am joining eu servers

💀
