you wont die IRL if you die in the videogame

[keen jacinth]

Those are either people with real life activities that are too busy to play games and can't have the chance to adapt and learn the curves or it's just the short bus leveled players.

[rich ember]

That's because a lot of people seem to be under the impression that Battlefield is meant to be a realistic game

it's not. They really should try to make that more clear.

and be a better video game.

[hasty marsh]

you misunderstand: they do not care about winning.

[rich ember]

:I

[hasty marsh]

its not them larping and its not them thinking theyre winning.
These players queue up with the explicit goal of going for crazy long shots.

[thick seal]

i mean theres a load of them that are in "normal" sniper ranges that also dont kill people

its not all 500m andy's

[hasty marsh]

i mean, thats just a bad player.

not much else to say

[keen jacinth]

Or they are help spotting enemies or popping flares. Placing spawn beacons for teamates.

[thick seal]

right, and what they're doing is boring, because they suck

going back to my original point about how sniping is fun if you're fun / skilled

[hasty marsh]

people are still on this meme?

[keen jacinth]

Be the obese level 140's and just go straight at the crossfire no scope.

[rich ember]

:I

[hasty marsh]

[keen jacinth]

I need food, to bad my family are veganators

[rich ember]

:I

[hasty marsh]

what is bro talking about

[keen jacinth]

PayPal me 15$ for McDonald's

[rich ember]

NASA has a big ass telescope out in space

they're looking for who asked

[surreal wraith]

LMAOOOOO

[hasty marsh]

anyway... I dont think removing snipers is gonna make the product more valuable for the majority of people playing it. I think its only really gonna improve it for people who have specific priorities that arent very common in this game.

[keen jacinth]

https://youtube.com/shorts/z-0cqZgEe9s?si=V8cMgu4WC9A68joM

[rich ember]

I guess. Not like it matters anyway.

[keen jacinth]

Snipers are snipers just like shotguns are shotguns. It can't just be AR's, LMG's and SMG's as the primary. Players like to play from various ranges because they like that type of Play stlye. Battlefield has all those players.

[hasty marsh]

because they like that type of Playstation
is this guy ai generated?

[rich ember]

they like that type of playstation

[keen jacinth]

Playstation for life

[true viper]

remove the aek tryarch

Dice

[old sonnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo0O-DCQJeo I just love going back and watch these older trailers 🙂

[sterile jolt]

BFV's main problem is lack of eastern front

BF1 has more WW2 Russian weaponry in it than BFV

[brisk wren]

well they wiped it from pre launch but we were due the italian front aka africa andddd the eastern front but nope.

[granite wyvern]

It’s a shame it never got added but not a major problem

[fallow root]

Is there anyone here old enough, or to put it another way, they were active during the heydays of BF2

Just curious to know if the devs then were more willing to work with the community contra later years were they tend to be selective or sparsely towards request and such

Whether developers were more engaged with the community feedback then

[west mirage]

Why tf did I sleep on Sturmgwehr 1-5 in BFV, the gun shreds

[tropic vortex]

Didn't get a chance to play BF2 cause I'm a console player, played other fps and the devs there didn't do much after release so im sure the BF2 devs were no different

The devs now have an easier time making changes and adding new shit

[sterile jolt]

Well most major problem for me definitely would be the cheaters

The moment I play on a public server without exception there is at least one cheater in every single match

[granite wyvern]

I’m on console so not much of an issue for me

[sterile jolt]

What would be your major issue with it then?

[granite wyvern]

That they gave up support so soon. Can’t believe they supported the worst BF of all time (2042) for longer.

[polar notch]

Guys, I think I'm going crazy or something as I cannot find the Gasser 1870 in Battlefield 1

[tropic vortex]

2042 is the best shooter out right now

[granite wyvern]

It’s the only BF I played and did not like

[tropic vortex]

Don't like bf1 and V but not gonna say they're the worst BF ever

Even though they're

[fallow root]

It's not uncommon for developers to ignore objectively good proposals

It happens in many games according to what I hear and experience myself

It's the case that they can't please everybody, but there have to be a limits, I'd dare say

@tropic vortex 🛠️

[granite wyvern]

To this day 2042 does not have basic features like persistent servers / server browser

[wet fossil]

It’s actually like the one thing they confirmed they’d never have

[civic stone]

bf1s vehicle respawn is horrible

waiting for a car for god knows how lonbg

[brazen zealot]

There is a lot of silent cheaters on console tho. I notice it on PSN a lot

A lot of time it's not even the best player in the team cheating, that's the sad part 😂

[upper berry]

Console cheaters. Have so many ways to cheat.

Scripts, AI aimbot, wall hacks and more. So many ways to cheat on new gen consoles

[tropic vortex]

For what? To stay in queue for 10 min just to join a full match?

[granite wyvern]

The odd strike pack or Cronus user but most are known to the Xbox community

[granite wyvern]

So when I’m on with six or seven friends we can easily get in server together, for a succession of games against the same enemy and so I can pick my favourite part of the rotation and start there.

[agile dune]

does anyone have trust in the new battlefield? or will it just be another flop?

[naive wagon]

Are bf1 servers down again ?

[naive wagon]

It will be mid as fuck

[sour tiger]

If I can't find a game on BF1 on PS5 is that me or the servers?

[tropic vortex]

It's you bud

[sterile jolt]

Vince Zampella's interview gave me some hope honestly

You don't see many devs going on to an interview and say ''yeah we fucked up, we will try to do it better next time'' like that

[south radish]

Same tbh, specially the part where they put much effort into testing it seems

Music to my ears if you ask me

I also liked they returning to 3/4, we'll see how much though. Some aspects are getting a bit dated in those games

If game overall great i probably wouldn't care much about some of the dated aspects of 3/4

[south radish]

They are more engaged with community now these days regarding feedback for sure

From memory and what i knew at the time, wasn't many places you could provide feedback at least. Now example there is AHQ and specially this server where link to community feedback is so much closer

I mean, there should be signs #1077689769246593044 🤷

[south radish]

I guess that also can be cause of different perspective how good they are. Somethings might sound great on paper with a quick glance but maybe not if you start getting multiple perspectives. Also through testing finding it only good on paper but not really good in reallity

[granite wyvern]

After 2042 I am not getting my hopes up

[gray glade]

what did they do to #1077689769246593044 btw

has it always looked like that

i cant reply or post anything in there

[verbal bone]

I’d assume that since development has stopped they don’t want to rework anything or need feedback

[solid carbon]

[agile dune]

I just hope they stop rotating game modes. I had a lot of fun with tank superiority and now it's gone. It made me want to play and now it's a snooze fest with every mode basically the same except for air superiority and I can't fly for shit.

[south radish]

Unsure what you mean by "has it always looked like that". You can't reply cause its closed, and development have stopped so little point having it open anyway 🤷

If you want to give feedback about the game, you could do that on AHQ always though

[gray glade]

ah, i see maybe the last time i checked was when there was development or whatever 😄

[south radish]

Fair enough 😛

[fallow root]

@south radish appreciate your input. Well writen reply 🧢

[south radish]

You are very welcome Thanks

[fallow root]

You are absolutely right. About 20 years ago it was not as easy to have an overview compared to now.

A guy told me that BF2 was huge at launch in terms of visuals and gameplay. State of the art at that time. Now it's like a dinosaur

[south radish]

Was really good at the time for sure. Think that's the only game i have 1500h in, exept one other game but that is a lot of afk game

Spent a lot of that time modding the game, and that was quite fun tbh

[fallow root]

What can you remember from the time when Dolphin Diving were a thing

https://tenor.com/view/tarkov-escape-from-tarkov-eft-snake-metal-gear-solid-gif-14115063440165525711

[south radish]

Let me think 🤔

Didnt they patch dolphin diving btw?

🤔

[fallow root]

I think they did

[south radish]

Think you could shoot mid air or something, dont remember. I dont have the best memory haha

I am sure everyone can remember commander spam from spotting in multiplayer

[fallow root]

I was on the Danish/Norwegian ferry around 2007. There was a computer room where you could play BF2 offline, i recall it. One pays a sum for access. I remember BF2 as a kiddo

[south radish]

Gonna check if my memory is correct by helicopters felt much better in bf2 than 2042. 2042 simply just super arcade

[thick seal]

they did

[south radish]

Thats cool

[thick seal]

bf2 helis felt like helicopters

2042's dont

[south radish]

BF3/4 ones was ok too, idk why the arcade in 2042 tbh

[thick seal]

even bf3/4 is a slight downgrade but they're far more tolerable

2's helis felt great to fly

[fallow root]

Were the minigun okey'ish. Minigun in BC2 could be labbeled a tad op

[thick seal]

minigun was fucking op

[south radish]

I'll try some now, havent played in ages

[south radish]

I mean, the sound too

[thick seal]

bf2 black hawks on launch were nuts

[fallow root]

They nerfed it then

[thick seal]

ya for sure. strongest vehicle minigun i ever seen

[fallow root]

But I have my fair share of hours into bc2 and I would say with a skilled pilot you can control the enemy team

for that reason miniguns became less dominant in bf3 and bf4

[thick seal]

theres also just a lot more vehicles in bf3/4

[fallow root]

the radius of splash damage is smaller in newer releases

[thick seal]

bc2 let the transport helis have fun on certain maps/sectors

[fallow root]

Could also use chopper on a mountain and fire down hill

[south radish]

Heli felt a bit ehhh, at least 10x better than 2042 in how its less arcade at least. Let me try 4

[serene estuary]

any reason I keep on spawning as russia

In solo on spearhead

[south radish]

4 feels really good imo

[fallow root]

BF3 feels aged i must admit

not aged like a wine

[south radish]

I mean, both 3/4 is getting aged lol

[thick seal]

tbh no bf game ages like wine

[fallow root]

BF1 is still in pretty good condition depsite on it's 8 years

[fallow root]

You're right

[thick seal]

like, they could, but dice always puts enough pain points in every bf, each with unique problems

[south radish]

I do think 4 held up quite well tbh

[thick seal]

It's ok. The maps are not good though.

like of the franchise, it's bottom tier with 2042 for maps

[fallow root]

they can in theory patch bf3/bf4 right ?

Or is it very difficult

[serene estuary]

bro I just bought 2042 when all I wanted was bf4 but I wad told it’s dead

[south radish]

I think maps was decent, some i dislike but plays well still. DLC maps was pretty good though. With 3 it had better vanilla maps overall i think

[serene estuary]

railway was the best on bf4

golmud or smth

[fallow root]

I participated in the bf3 beta

[thick seal]

I'm also a big hater of bf4 thermal meta on vehicles

[south radish]

Rip, not in europe. But can be empty sometimes in the night

[fallow root]

OP Metro 😃

[serene estuary]

wait fr?

[south radish]

I like

[serene estuary]

i play on eu

[south radish]

[thick seal]

see, i think thermal's dogshit, use your eyes

infantry shouldnt be at such a disadvantage

[south radish]

Golmud railway can take a hike if you ask me, but then again more prefrence than it plays bad i'd say 😛

[serene estuary]

is 2042 that bad?

🥲

someone tell me it’s alright

[fallow root]

I got hooked on heroes during my early teenage years

[serene estuary]

I’m playing it rn

[fallow root]

BF Heroes

[thick seal]

it's a game

one with broken mouse input still

2042's a technical disaster

[south radish]

@serene estuary Europe 60hz now, some servers might have fake player count though for some reason

[serene estuary]

wtf

[fallow root]

was 2042 pushed or released before its time ?

[serene estuary]

Do I refund 2042

🤣

[south radish]

I mean, they did fix it and all. But i am still finding it ehhh considering certain aspects

[fallow root]

I mean 2142

[thick seal]

did you buy 2042 on sale

[serene estuary]

no

Not even

[thick seal]

if you paid full price..

[serene estuary]

🥲

[thick seal]

in 2024..

[sharp oyster]

what are the best support class weapons in bfV?

[fallow root]

2142 opinions

[south radish]

🤷 It dont play too bad though. Need decent amount of cpu if you wanna play 128p, but i suggest 64p anyway

[serene estuary]

bro I keep on spawning underground when I get in draugr

wtf

[fallow root]

I'd say MG34

[thick seal]

lewis gun, model37

[serene estuary]

I’m playing 128

My Draugr keeps on bugging

[thick seal]

the BAR is also really good on support

[serene estuary]

I spawn under the map

[south radish]

Well, you probably would have refunded at launch with 128p, they improved it later. 64p feels better though imo

[thick seal]

1922 was the real monster of the mmgs imo

[south radish]

Didn't pay enough tax to spawn above ground 😛

[serene estuary]

does 64 have planes

jets

[fallow root]

MG34 with light bolt is the perfect balance between recoil and time to kill

[south radish]

Yeah should have

[fallow root]

770 rpm

[thick seal]

1922 was also 770

[sharp oyster]

really ?

[fallow root]

yes i like MG34

[thick seal]

1922 is better, trust

obscure gun, sure. but its a monster

but either way fuck mmgs. use the Lewis Gun or BAR

[sharp oyster]

I heard that lewis gun is op but I am not on lvl 10 to use it yet

so asking from the guns that arent locked behind level

kinda

[thick seal]

yup, lewis with 47 mag and horizontal recoil perk is nuts

you can also do the ~100 bullet option but it has more recoil

throw a 3x scope on the 47 lewis and you'll kill the entire server if you can aim

[fallow root]

Just checked with symthic. MG34 got more green attributes than red

[thick seal]

1922 is more accurate at the same rof

[fallow root]

9 red vs 23 red for M1922

[thick seal]

i tried both many times

i like my bullets hitting where i am aiming, makes the ttk very short

[fallow root]

Apparently damage graph and time to kill same assuming both use 770 rpm but, attributes seems to be in favour of 34

[sharp oyster]

so what is the next strongest gun after lewis ?

[thick seal]

symthic alone doesnt mean much. you gotta feel the guns.

[fallow root]

True

[thick seal]

is symthic a good resource? sure. but its not the end of discussion

[sharp oyster]

what's a symthic

[fallow root]

Many have a fondness for standard issue weapon

it is a heavy assault rifle

[thick seal]

they used to do game information / datamining for older battlefield games, they stopped with 2042

so you get to see all the exact details for guns etc

these days you have to get a google doc for 2042's gun ttks etc

[sharp oyster]

what should I take as my specializations in the KE-7 weapon ?

[junior torrent]

Still disappointed as ever

[fallow root]

Ke-7 allow ADS

Crucial in CQB

[south radish]

What do you mean? 🤔

[thick seal]

the most important one is Lightened Stock on any gun that allows it.

best perk in bfv

[sharp oyster]

really ?

so the one that lets you move faster when aiming ?

[junior torrent]

All conquest and same old maps

[thick seal]

yes. your ads strafe speed becomes more like hipfire strafe speed

it's the best perk for sure

[sharp oyster]

so I went right right right and left for lightened stock

[thick seal]

ya thats good

hrec perk is also excellent in any gun its on. Ported Barrel

[south radish]

I see. Not always though, but i guess just then

[fallow root]

But that doesn't come with accuracy penalties

[junior torrent]

And You already realized why WR is my salvation

[fallow root]

Or does it ?

[south radish]

What is WR?

[junior torrent]

Warsaw revamped

Have you forgotten?

[thick seal]

i never noticed any penalty

[south radish]

Idk what you talking about now

[thick seal]

it's literally harder to aim while moving faster, so theres no need for a penalty

but its still the best perk regardless

[fallow root]

which guns benefit from 10% faster velocity really

[junior torrent]

In nutshell...

WR is an upcoming multiplayer client for the game

Includes custom AC, modding support, and AI bots

[fallow root]

Most weapons have a fast output speed right

[thick seal]

zk and lewis gun

most of the time the velocity is vs a better perk

[south radish]

Ahhh i see so mod, havent heard before 😛

[junior torrent]

I see

I must've mistaken you by someone else

[south radish]

Probably lol

Or just my bad memory

[fallow root]

@thick seal did you knew about Den Kirsion

a precursor to Symthic

Den used to mine gun stats in the early 2010s

[thick seal]

Nah, I didnt really take bf seriously back then enough to look shit up

[serene estuary]

Set up for the DRAUGR

[fallow root]

It were Den Kirson

He probably started 14-15 years ago

[rich ember]

There is a reason actually, and that reason is because people don't join empty servers.

Trying to fill a server on BF4 if you don't have like, a dedicated community is a massive pain in the ass.

@fallow root I still think it's really funny that after all these years, Symthic still hasn't bothered updating their 2042 stats

[uneven cape]

is bf5 still fairly alive

like with casual players and almost no cheaters or tryhards

[random blade]

you will always encounter tryhards no matter what you play

and it'll probably still have cheaters

but it'll definitely be active

[rich ember]

almost no tryhards

there will always be people that are better than you unfortunately, so you have to just deal with that

i mean i guess you could play single player but i donno

[uneven cape]

but these a higher presence of casuals compared to bf1 right?

[random blade]

bf1 doesn't have as much of a skill gap so there will be more there most likely

[uneven cape]

trust me there isnt

[rich ember]

there will always be people that are better than you.

[uneven cape]

hey knock it off

[rich ember]

just sayin'.

[random blade]

tbh you won't enjoy any game if you expect there to be no tryhards

just play it if the general gameplay looks fun to you

that's what matters

[tawdry pelican]

What should i do when the red circle appears after I try to get a plane/ tank???

Should I let go or wait until the next veichle while staying

[serene estuary]

Make it a square

In which bf is that?

[tawdry pelican]

Bf5

[tawdry pelican]

Wdym

[serene estuary]

jk idk I bought 2042 3 days ago

[granite wyvern]

Model 37

[uneven cape]

i dont mind tryhards if they dont disrupt other player's experience

in bf1 i join servers and we keep getting spawn killed non stop by planes and tanks

or even scouts and supports

mortars aswell like let me play the game ffs

[hasty marsh]

if they dont disrupt other player's experience
What is this supposed to mean?

[uneven cape]

read my other messages

[hasty marsh]

yeah but what is a tryhard supposed to do exactly?

not go for kills?

[uneven cape]

play clean

not just stay at the very back of the map with an arty truck or tank

i dont even see how does someone have fun doing that like wheres the fun of it

[hasty marsh]

people always say this but 1 is the only game where I hear about new players getting destroyed

[uneven cape]

new players on bf1 get really destroyed

hell even me that has been playing the game for almost a year now cant get 20 kills in some servers

[hasty marsh]

I wonder why

[upper berry]

Battlefield is the most casual shooter out there

[uneven cape]

bro do you want me to stay on my bedroom playing bf1 24/7 just to get good?

i dont know about you but i play games for fun

[hasty marsh]

I mean, I have no issue playing for fun and being good, but I wasnt ranking on you. Im honestly curious why 1 specifically seems to be the one with this coming up, especially when its often dismissed as the easy one.

cause I dont see new players saying this for 4 or 5

[uneven cape]

well bf1 is a pretty old game and it does have some overpowered mechanics like some weapons, vehicles and the mortars

and also a fairly percentage of cheaters that recently moved from bf5 cuz of the AC

[hasty marsh]

i dont see many cheaters much, at least on the community servers

tbh Im lowkey hoping they dont add the bfv AC so the game doesnt lose its mod support

[uneven cape]

i saw one today, dude didnt even try to hide the wallhacks

[rich ember]

I think they already did

[hasty marsh]

they havent yet. Unless it happened today.

[uneven cape]

would like to add mods to it but you need to download some frost launcher shit and im lazy

[uneven cape]

if they did then the ac sucks cuz theres still cheaters

[hasty marsh]

Apparently they tried but it broke some server plugins like weapon bans

[hasty marsh]

its really easy to use

[uneven cape]

but does it work first try guaranteed

cuz i saw some people say bf1 didnt launch after they installed it

[hasty marsh]

when?

[uneven cape]

on nexus mods

[hasty marsh]

If the AC is up then frosty will not work. But I was able to do it fine a few days ago.

[uneven cape]

it was old comments

[hasty marsh]

idk man, worked for me

[upper berry]

Cheaters will be in any game no matter what. But EA AC is better than easy anticheat ngl.

[uneven cape]

why do u even need a launcher for it isnt it just changing the textures

[hasty marsh]

Yeah but the game doesnt allow you to just swap them out like a source game, so frosty gets around this.

[uneven cape]

yeah ig

[hasty marsh]

though some mods are outright model swaps

[upper berry]

If a game detects you changing some type of code or texture. It can lead into a ban automatically

[hasty marsh]

It wont ban you, it just closes on startup. Misunderstood

[upper berry]

That’s why someone made a launcher to work around that

[uneven cape]

i might download frosty tomorrow i wanna play some rounds without the sjw skins before the ac fucks it all

[hasty marsh]

try this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/battlefield1/mods/196

[upper berry]

[rich ember]

"the sjw skins" lmao

[uneven cape]

no ty

[uneven cape]

i mean we went over this already

[rich ember]

lmao still

[hasty marsh]

you sound absolutely cringe but bf1918 is a very nice looking mod regardless

[uneven cape]

yeah i was thinking of that mod

and its not only the forced inclusion skins but i also dont like some models like the german support for example

[rich ember]

"forced inclusion"

[uneven cape]

black soldiers on the western front is totally accurate

for germany

[rich ember]

maybe it isn't. i cannot be bothered to care, personally.

[uneven cape]

you cant deny its forced inclusion tho cuz theres literally no reason to justify it besides that

[rich ember]

"forced inclusion"

[uneven cape]

what is it then

[rich ember]

a choice they made cause they felt like it. i donno.

[uneven cape]

is it to honor the non existent black german soldiers that fought on the western front

[rich ember]

to be frank i'm hard pressed to actually notice while i'm playing the game anyway

It's basically the biggest non-issue i could think of

[uneven cape]

i dont really mind it either but i think it ruins immersion to some people

and if theres a way to change the models then might as well try it

[rich ember]

you don't seem like you don't mind it.

[uneven cape]

i meant while playing

[rich ember]

Immersion in a multiplayer shooter is a scam anyway

[uneven cape]

bf1 is always praised for its immersion but i have yet to see it

[rich ember]

It looks really good graphically.

[uneven cape]

200 hours in and all i see is getting blown up by tanks with anime stickers

[rich ember]

The maps are really nice, the guns are also well represented.

[granite wyvern]

Immersion and atmosphere is what BF1 excelled at

[uneven cape]

i havent gotten immersed on the game not even once

[granite wyvern]

Sorry to hear that as that is the best points of the game

[rich ember]

because immersion is a scam as previously stated

The game looks pretty but you're not gonna ever feel like you're in WW1. You probably wouldn't wanna be anyway, that'd be terrible.

[uneven cape]

im too focused on not getting killed and trying to get kills to try to get immersed

[rich ember]

yes

Cause this is a video game and that's the objective

[uneven cape]

bf1 is an arcade game

verdun, isonzo and tannenberg do a way better job at immersion

[rich ember]

well yeah but those games are milsims and therefore are worse at actually being good games

[uneven cape]

atleast they have bots so the game doesnt feel dead

cant say the same for bf1

[granite wyvern]

Who the heck wants to feel like they are actually in a hell hole? We are talking immersion into a video game / escapism

[rich ember]

i mean, that's fairly simple to accomplish. I don't see the problem here.

[granite wyvern]

No problem. The point was BF1 was particularly good at that element.

[fallow root]

Just one thing i've noticed in bf1

Most tend to roam around with default Specializations and appears like they don't bother with it either way

Either they're casual players

[rich ember]

Mostly cause the specializations are largely annoying to unlock and most don't bother.

BF1 Specializations kinda suck anyway.

Hardline had a better perk system on launch.

[fallow root]

Fair enough, but it's a shame some maps could benefit from changes

If they use flak resistance on Fort De Vaux

There is no doubt that more explo resistant equipment will aid the overall survival

But it is probably wishful thinking as not everyone cares so much about it

[fallow root]

Some may see it as disturbing to constantly adjust specializations, and the default works just fine for most uses, but as I say, some potential is lost by leaving them on default

At any given time

[rich ember]

Eh. Like i said, Hardline had a better perk system on launch, while BF1's was added post-launch.

[fallow root]

I have less than 24 houre in Hardline

[rich ember]

I don't really care about potential, i'm never playing against anyone who's good enough for it to matter

[fallow root]

Could it be the case that BF1 in a competitive setting mayhap ?

[rich ember]

BF1 has no competitive setting.

[fallow root]

let's say it was

[rich ember]

The game is ass from a competitive standpoint.

[thick seal]

its like making a checkers tournament

bf1 is the checkers of battlefield games

[fallow root]

Chess is superior

[rich ember]

Yes that's the point

The chess of competitive Battlefield would probably be BF4.

[fallow root]

can put it simply. You hear players from the chess world, and not from checkers

[thick seal]

nobody would accept bf4 netcode playing for money

[rich ember]

there were LAN events.

[thick seal]

like it had a comp scene but aint nobody gonna accept it today

[rich ember]

And some people have played online for money.

[fallow root]

as a chess player myself, I cannot remember having read about any feats performed by checkers players

In the news

Checkers is by no means an easy game, of course, but chess is better i'd say

[rich ember]

yes that was the point

[thick seal]

you know what, bf1 is the tic tac toe of battlefield games

[rich ember]

I feel like that'd be 2042

[fallow root]

which bf game allowed a comp setting

[thick seal]

oh hell nah, 2042's a real game with tons of skill gap elements. just one with broken input

if 2042 wasnt a technical failure AND if it was 64 based maps from the start it'd be pretty ok

[random blade]

Bf1 is connect 4

[thick seal]

same same

[rich ember]

tic tac toe and connect 4 are the same game

[random blade]

I’ve forgotten what tick tac toe is actually

[rich ember]

It's the same game as connect 4

[thick seal]

they're close enough, but the point im saying is that they're both solved games

not dynamic at all if you know what the right play is

[random blade]

Putting coins in the top of the slots to get a string of 4 consecutively?

[upper berry]

I remember BF4 held a comp scene between all regions around the world

[rich ember]

Like that but you're looking for 3 in a row

[thick seal]

3 by 3 grid and you have free choice instead of dropping from the top

[rich ember]

It did. And also smaller competitive scenes lasted after the official stuff died down.

It was never that big, there wasn't a lot of prize money, a lot of the players just did it for fun.

[upper berry]

The game itself. Had a lot of comp. I was in a competitive group. We held tournaments and game nights with our servers

[thick seal]

battlefield comp just doesnt work as far as viewership

the game has to be so small scale and simplified that casuals dont care sadly

[rich ember]

BF4 was a game that worked very well for playing competitively.

[upper berry]

It’s more of a community thing. Official comp didnt lasted long enough tbh

[rich ember]

Unfortunately, Battlefield players hate good Battlefield players.

[random blade]

Isn’t that just naughts and crosses?

[rich ember]

Yes it is

[thick seal]

probably the same game yeah

[random blade]

Well no matter, going on a tangent here

[thick seal]

im sure theres a lot of names for it

[rich ember]

Hardline had a competitive mode but it didn't last long

Cause Hardline was unpopular

[upper berry]

BF4 had so many modes. So much fun and freedom for the players to their liking on many different maps

[rich ember]

BF1 had Incursions, which was a planned competitive mode.

They scrapped it.

[upper berry]

It had a good one. But BF4 have it strong for it.

[rich ember]

BFV also planned to have a 5v5 competitive mode.

It also got scrapped.

[random blade]

2042’s limited modes must have been one of the only comp style modes that didn’t get scrapped

[thick seal]

they've gotta stop with that. let the community make comp happen and focus on the main game

waste of resources over and over

[rich ember]

And yet they didn't do anything with them as far as tournaments go.

[random blade]

But in all honesty I could do without comp modes as long as the main game has enough depth to engage my competitive mind

[rich ember]

Granted, 2042 competitive seems like it'd be a god damn mess

And the game does not function correctly on PC. so.

[upper berry]

2042 have some good comp modes. But battlefield is to casual for it to be a comp game. BF4 is the main BF game that had it and it was strong for it for ages now, till it died off towards end of the game support.

[random blade]

I still have a 50% to crash my game and taskbar whenever I alt tab lol

[upper berry]

Use borderless window mode

[rich ember]

I would've liked to see how Incursions played in BF1.

Apparently they removed sight sway on that mode specifically.

[random blade]

So far I’ve not had the chance to play comp at all cause the scene either died before I got interested or the games just didn’t have it

[upper berry]

Prob because sight sway is a distraction to the comp scene

[rich ember]

Yes. Also because it's ass.

[upper berry]

Tbh. I don’t pay attention to it. I just focus on my center of my screen on the enemy

Works every time

[upper berry]

It’s more of a community thing tbh.

[rich ember]

but yeah, it seems like Incursions could've been an interesting mode if DICE hadn't scrapped it

They even made a test range for it.

[random blade]

That’s how people should do it, but the sight visibly blocking the enemy is the main problem

[thick seal]

i just watched a few videos of bf1 incursions, looks boring compared to just playing the regular game

[upper berry]

If you ever use an actual weapon. You focus on the enemy as your weapon sights align to the target.

People focus on their sight more than the target. Especially in this generation of people nowadays

Irl and in video games

[rich ember]

I'll look at footage of it later.

[thick seal]

its exactly what i expected, small scale bf1 with minor tweaks

as far as comp goes that aint it

[rich ember]

What would it be

[thick seal]

not bf1

thats priority #1

[rich ember]

ok

[thick seal]

minor tweaks to the base bf1 game dont make a good comp mode

its still the same no movement game

it'd have to be major changes and be wildly different to be a solid comp mode

[rich ember]

Blame the people who complained about the slide mechanic.

[fallow root]

What should be changed in BF1 first and foremost

[alpine skiff]

guys does any1 know why im getting kicked by punkbuster while playing bf4?

[south radish]

Probably only need this https://evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

Causes problems most of the time tbh

If it still happens download this https://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/W/gui/pbsetup.zip, select game and update

[alpine skiff]

this better not be a virus

i installed it thanks

[south radish]

They developed PB

[south radish]

You are very welcome

[alpine skiff]

still gettin kicked by punkbuster ill try the 2nd one

last time i played bf4 was on a ps4 now on a pc with a 990 evo loading in is mind blowing

5 seconds instead of 2 minutes

[upper berry]

The life of pc

Load times and details mean everything

[lapis palm]

Anyone know if BF1 is active again in Australia? Heard they updated the anti-cheat

[lapis palm]

I can play every BF all good, and do well, but for some reason I just can't play BF4 well at all lol

[quaint wolf]

wish BF1 servers wasnt so much to rent still! Need some Central Servers going

[lapis palm]

Just got kicked to make room for a admin. Now back to spending 10+ minutes in queue lol 😦

[junior torrent]

this is why I hate battlelog

[sterile jolt]

Bren, Madsen, FG42, all the shotguns except M97 Trench maybe(not bad but I don't see a reason to use it over any other, not even as a slug shotgun, 12g is far better as a slug shotgun), maybe Lewis

[sterile jolt]

BFV is still full of cheaters, there is at least one in every single public server, community servers are far better than official servers in that regard

[tropic vortex]

That's why it's trash, they cleaned up 2042 a long time ago

[sharp oyster]

Eh its not that bad

[sterile jolt]

Nah, V is the best BF past 3(never played 4 though) for me. 2042's cheater situation is far far better though.

Hoping for BF6 to have a good anti cheat

[uneven cape]

lowk the same for bf1

but i also found them on community servers regularly

[upper berry]

All EA games, especially battlefield for now on will use EA’s kernel level AC. 2042 been having it. BFV got it a bit later. And BF1 recently just got it. They are seeing massive improvements from their anti cheat already.

Every game have cheaters, even valorant have cheaters, even tho they have the best of the best kernel level anticheat.

There is no official way to stop cheaters for good. Only to slow them down. Is the whole point of the AC, slow them down and they stop certain things. But a high skill cheater with his tech setup, is harder to stop them.

[granite wyvern]

Playing on console is one way to vastly reduce the number of cheaters.

[upper berry]

Yes. But they still have plenty of cheaters still

[tropic vortex]

Playing old battlefield games with only console players is boring, I enjoy going against PC sweats on 2042

[young saddle]

Even on ps5?

[upper berry]

All console gens have cheaters

It’s just less and it works abit differently

[tropic vortex]

Not on the mighty ps5, Sony eliminates them swiftly

[upper berry]

There is always a workaround

[sick elbow]

I started a BFV rush only server on PC, Please join so we can play some of the game mode!!!

[fallow root]

@sterile jolt your verdict on the mg34

[sterile jolt]

Never used them tbf

MMGs puts you into a sitting duck playstyle which makes you easy prey for snipers

[quaint wolf]

Can we get a price drop on servers for BF1? Some of us want to go back to it but only eu servers not many in the US

[solid carbon]

sure

[fallow root]

Yes, one of the big disadvantages

[granite wyvern]

A very few strike pack and Cronus users on Xbox (and most are known, named and shamed within the Xbox community).

[fallow root]

Almost on a par with stationary MGs and top gunners on tanks

Stationary MGs like a ticking bomb

[verbal bone]

So did the anticheat break BF1 modding?

[upper berry]

Wym BF1 modding?

[verbal bone]

Frosty editor

It’s just like the visual based mods, more accurate soldier models, accurate names of weapons, blah blah

[trail wadi]

More than likely

[upper berry]

Sony have that issue still

[upper berry]

Maybe. But I doubt it since it uses its own launcher. Can try it.

[verbal bone]

Yea I kinda figured it would break it. Hopefully like a new method or something comes about. Cause those visual mods are really cool imo

It would allow me to not deal with the ugly vanilla German support lol

[upper berry]

I haven’t tried the mod itself out. But could ask someone that did. And if they tried recently

[verbal bone]

Yea I’m just curious to hear if it still works or not

[upper berry]

Idk how it works lol tbh. For that mod

If it uses a launcher of its own. Maybe it’s good. If it uses the base game and in open up the exe. Then most likely not work.

[verbal bone]

Yea I don’t really know how the modding tools exactly work, I’m a console pleb whose extent of modding is running forge for MC on my MacBook lol

Which works surprisingly well all things considered, pretty good frame rate for shaders on

[upper berry]

I use mods on different games like MC, FO, Starfield. Never used it for cod or BF games or alike.

[uneven cape]

bf is pretty limited with modding but cod does have some cool mods

mfs make entire campaigns with VA, maps and weapons

[upper berry]

Battlefield is limited for BF1/V/2042 because of active support, anticheat. But most of the time. It’s harder to crack the game

Past cods it’s easier to crack to make mods for it. But most of the time. People make launcher for the game itself. Especially for the older games.

People make launcher for it so it don’t interfere with the original exe and ect. But gotta know how you proceed with it also.

Battlefield modders is smart. They force the launcher to have official game download from EA app/steam. they don’t promote pirating. The launcher also will verify it to.

[upper berry]

Battlefield is also harder to crack since the games is online connection only to play the games.

[elder apex]

Anyone playing BF1?

[uneven cape]

so did anyone check if bf1 mods still work with the ac

What are really good balanced all around AR Rifles in BF4?

[wet fossil]

Most of them, really.

The AUG is nice.

The L85 feels good to use but the unlock requirement's a bit of a bitch if I recall correctly

Something like getting three defib kills in one match

[hasty fractal]

say is there a fix for this

trying to use my bluetooth earphone when playing bf V

the sound is still working but its like those sound u hear when ur having a call and playing game at the same time

*Supressed kind of audio

[random blade]

Turn off your mic, usually that helps clear up the sound

[halcyon moth]

I know it’s a damn old game but I think I remember hearing something like they were gonna fix the fake player counts on bf4 servers?

[halcyon moth]

No fucking way

[solid hinge]

Hello I bought the BF V and have only war stories or multiplayer

No other game mode offline?

[rich ember]

No

[neat bridge]

hello?

[dark schooner]

Please, I need just this 1 kill

[opal schooner]

My tip is use the bipod

It smooths out the recoil so much

[tawdry pelican]

Why does everyone that kill me with a fliegerfaust always T-bag on me like they did sum😂

Anyone else experience the same thing

[opal schooner]

Probably cause it's satisfying and helping their team out idk

Never experienced it though, I'm not a big pilot player

[tawdry pelican]

Bro there’s literally a mf in my game sitting at spawn playing as assault, with a fliegerfaust t bagging👎, that can’t be fun man

[opal schooner]

😭 he's gotta be super mad or something

Atp just hop on an AA gun

[vale grail]

Fish in A Barrel matches aren't fun either way, you either spawncamp and sit in one spot where you shoot people as they load back into the map which not only isn't good natured or sporting, it gets boring quick. And on the other end it's not fun to be a no-lifer's stat fodder.

[tawdry pelican]

This was the panzerstorm map in BF5

[vale grail]

map's unplayable because the American vehicles suck against the national socialists' tanks

[tawdry pelican]

Yeah I hate playing as an American in bf5, the planes suck

Or the British

I only fly the JU 88

[vale grail]

OH GOOD HEAVENS

[tawdry pelican]

I really wanna level up the mosquito to get the 4000 lb bomb but it’s just so hard to get kills with it since you literally start off with four 250lb bombs

You need to be super precise

[granite wyvern]

Wish Provence was on the Tactical Conquest rotation (rather than Strategic).

[vale grail]

Your best bet is to play the fjil map and just spam bombs on objectives, it's not even kills, it's just points in the plane

[tawdry pelican]

Ohh so you don’t even need to kill people to get points

But do you get as much as killing or the same

[vale grail]

No, it's not ideal but with how shit the skylimit inconsistencies are I'd say it's the only way to deal with it

[vale grail]

Depends, usually kills are better because that's the whole point...

[tawdry pelican]

But I almost only bomb objectives but I’m still at level 1.5 in the mosquito, I think it’s only kills that counts

I hate how you can’t replace planes like you can with weapons, I got sadly leveled up a useless bleihem to lvl 4 but a mosquito would be better

[obtuse haven]

Is there by any chance 3 people in here that could help me with the BF4 phantom elevator, I just need 3 people with all 3 pre requisites done :)

What Battlefield campaigns are worth playing?

on game pass

[opal schooner]

BF1's war stories and BF3 are my favorites

BFV has some good ones like The Last Tiger and Tiralleur

[solid hinge]

WHAT ABOUT , 4, 3 and hardline

[opal schooner]

I said 3

[solid hinge]

damn ok

[opal schooner]

I like 4 but not everyone does

[solid hinge]

are they all worth playing

or a complete waste of time

[opal schooner]

I'd say so

Hardline is enjoyable, kinda basic but it's fun

It's supposed to be a satire on cop dramas anyways

[solid hinge]

One question: on PS there is a good playerbase to play online?

BF V

[tropic vortex]

2042

[tawdry pelican]

Bro planes in fjell are too op, I litterally got 12 kills at one time with the Ju 88

So satisfying

Feel bad for the infantry though, just dying from 16 50kg bombs in the sky plus another 4 500kg bombs at one single time

I think they should buff the Ju 88 and restore it to its former glory, like just add the 1k bomb to it

[granite wyvern]

Not sure but there is still a big community on Xbox for BFV

[tropic vortex]

He asked on PS bud

[granite wyvern]

Just saying every chance it would be on PS as well (if thriving on Xbox)

[tropic vortex]

[sterile jolt]

Anyone wants to help me with assignments?

On BFV?

I opened a server named golden gun, anyone who wants to do their assignments is welcome

[solid hinge]

Ok, the game is crossplataform?

[opal schooner]

No BFV isn't cross platform

[harsh moss]

Let me ask a question here that I think is highly under-discussed;

How do we improve the interplay between tanks and infantry in BF games? IMO, that interplay has always been the weakest part of BF as a franchise, and I think it could be substantially improved if some mild effort is put into it. It appears to me absolutely nonsensical that a tank is able to pull such ridiculously untouchable in-game stats (30-1, in a previous game of BF1, for example) while an infantryman can't be expected to come even close to that figure. Additionally, circumstances wherein members of the infantry are given no tools to respond to the threat posed by a tank, while the tank is always able to deal with it's counters are highly frustrating, and I think should be eliminated.

What do you all think?

[hasty marsh]

are we expecting tanks to have a max kd of 2 or something?

[sterile jolt]

I’m on PC

All PC players welcome

[random blade]

Silly idea I had that i've not thought much about since was some kind of reload buff when near teammates, and make it slower without. But then again, being up close with teammates is just as risky as you are close range

[sterile jolt]

BF1 and 5 are kinda outliers in that aspect

[solid hinge]

Ok

[harsh moss]

I mean, I don't want to cap KD, but I do think that sort of performance should warrant a sufficiently outstanding performance, rather than the current circumstance which sees these sorts of performances all too commonly.

[hasty marsh]

its a tank

[harsh moss]

Yeah, BF1 and V have it particularly bad, but I do remember many times in 4 and in 2042 where, when faced with a tank as infantry, my options were (essentially) run at a tank and pray it doesn't click it's mouse, or run away and pray it doesn't click it's mouse.

[harsh moss]

Yes, and tanks are not this strong in the real world.

[hasty marsh]

(tanks are harder to kill in the real world)

[harsh moss]

(I doubt that.)

[tropic vortex]

Ban tanks

[hasty marsh]

a regular RPG round will not penetrate a main battle tank, you need a much stronger round in order to actually kill one such as a tandem or tow missile.

[harsh moss]

Yes; but one tandem round or TOW missile hit is often sufficient to take down a tank.

Either by cooking off the ammo within, or neutralizing the crew.

[hasty marsh]

depends where it hits really.

[harsh moss]

I can agree with that; but I would not say that one hit with a specific projectile is more difficult to achieve then 4-5 hits with a specific projectile

Additionally

[hasty marsh]

BF games never had tandems. In practice youre killing them with normal rpg rounds or running up with c4.

[harsh moss]

That means nothing. BF games absolutely could include tandems.

[hasty marsh]

Im talking about whether they are stronger as depicted in the actual game.

besides, in a game where a bullet doesnt instakill you, its not out of the ordinary for a tow missile to not one shot an mbt

[random blade]

Regardless, anti tank is balanced around the potential for multiple people having them, if they oneshot tanks then they simply would not be granted the joy of life lol

and if the at oneshots them, why move anywhere closer than 200m

[hasty marsh]

It would also encourage tanks to play extremely passively

[harsh moss]

I'm speaking in practical terms here, not in pointless analytical terms XD. I will grant you, perhaps that IRL tanks are more sturdy than in game tanks, given their resistance to non-tandem RPGs (though that itself is debatable; knocking out a tank's treads and forcing it's crew out to fix it is in the realm of possibility for an IRL tank, not a BF tank)

Nevertheless, practically, it takes substantially more IRL to kill a tank in BF than it does IRL (4-5 avaliable projectiles than 1-2 availiable projectiles.)

[harsh moss]

I mean, fair; but how often do you actually see 4-5 people engaging a tank with an RPG in game? A balanced squad has maybe 1-2 assaults. Wipe one, and the balance is fucked.

[hasty marsh]

it takes substantially more IRL to kill a tank in BF than it does IRL (4-5 avaliable projectiles than 1-2 availiable projectiles.)
this sentence is unintelligable

[harsh moss]

How so? Please explain what you don't understand.

[random blade]

That's the thing, it's such a random variable. They could balance them with the hope that there are less engies and make it 3 rockets, but any situation where there's more than expected is just instant death. or if they balance it with the anticipation of there being more AT, the individual feels crap

one reason why I feel 128 players is a bad choice is how can you possibly balance at and tanks as a whole if you could have 1 engie or 64

32 is at least slightly more managable

[harsh moss]

I understand that, absolutely. It's definitely not an easy balancing act. Give AT too much power and tanks are unplayable. Give tanks too much power and infantry is powerless.

I'm just wondering if anyone has any good ideas to try and fix this balance without skewing either into obscurity.

One idea I had was no internal repair.

If you deal damage to a tank, that damage will carry over until the tanker puts themselves (or a squadmate) at risk to fix the damage.

[random blade]

Then nobody will ever push

[hasty marsh]

assuming it actually needs fixing.

[harsh moss]

I mean, it's absolutely a problem.

[random blade]

sure, teammates can repair and I can understand the thought process there, but teammates have the awareness of a bread bin

[hasty marsh]

the tank is powerful because it is a tank, that is the point. it is balanced because, presumably, your team also has tanks.

[random blade]

ultimately it's a game of tradeoffs, there's no one size fits all solution

[hasty marsh]

repairing someone else's also isnt usually that risky since the tank acts as cover

[harsh moss]

Which is my issue with the RPG argument XD. Yes, teammates can use multiple RPGs, but teammates have the awareness of a bread bin XD.

My thought here is that it creates the same balancing standard as exists on the other side. The game is balanced around multiple people having RPGs and multiple people having repair tools.

Awareness becomes the name of the game, for both the tanker and their team, and the infantry.

But you are right. It is a game of tradeoffs, and one that can't easily be fixed. I just hope that something is tried in the next game to correct it.

And I wanted to put it forward here to give anyone with thoughts the chance to speak on it.

[random blade]

Yeah and i'm always up for a discussion

The only avenue I thought up was this quicker reloading thing

[hasty marsh]

you want people to counter tanks by bunching together?

[random blade]

I don't like limited ammo pools, cause people just hang back by resupply, but infinite pools also promote camping. But potentially making it so that ammo regens slowly but infinitely, and faster when near teammates or on some kind of support item perhaps might get them moving with the infantry flow more as you suggested

[random blade]

Not about countering tanks, but keeping tanks with infantry a bit more

[hasty marsh]

oh reloading for the tank.
My main question would be how to make it intuitive.

[random blade]

Probably won't be, besides some kind of chevron by the reload icon or something perhaps

to suggest that it's a thing

[hasty marsh]

even with an icon the interaction would feel somewhat random, something thats not really consistent with the rules that have been established.

[random blade]

Yeah that would be the main problem. I'd be perfectly fine with it but it would definitely feel a little random for some

What if the tank could provide ammo periodically? I know the tanks and transports in squad let you take up ammo, and while the game's structure makes vehicles more important anyway, maybe that could be enough to get people to move with one as a team?

have it just be ammo only perhaps to avoid rocket spam

[hasty marsh]

this is a thing in some bf1 tanks, where they drop crates for teammates.
Theres also a question of if we want tanks to always be by teammates, when tanks can often secure areas that infantry cannot.

[random blade]

Ideally I'd prefer it to be a slight buff if with others but not mandatory, for that very reason

[hasty marsh]

A slight buff is already there: teammates prevent people from flanking you and can repair your stuff.

[random blade]

during a repair challenge that is most definitely the case haha

perhaps there is enough there as is, it just relies on people paying attention

[hasty marsh]

usually people have the repair tool equipped in 4 as well. I think its only a big issue in 5 if casuals dont realize the support has a blowtorch

[dim iris]

hi i downloaded the game and eveytime i open it its crashing, can someoe help me please

[tawdry pelican]

Hey I’ve reached level 4 with a plane and I can’t upgrade it yet???

Do I need to wait like 15 minutes or what

I just wanna get the 4000 lb bomb man

[heady trout]

Restart the console

Does anyone wanna form a team on bf2042?

[true viper]

removing scopes from AT weapons will make the average engineer get closer because less accuracy

[true viper]

I prefer when vehicles are weaker, I doubt there ever could be a perfect balanced synergy between the roles

Are you saying vehicles were strong in battlefield 1? I think they were pretty weak, iirc one engineer can easily take out all the tanks except for the heavy tank

the issue was how they were played, which was camping way in the back, sniping with that one landship variant and artillery truck

[random blade]

that's something that is practically impossible to resolve unfortunately

all the methods they've tried to prevent it havem't worked out too well or have had flaws of their own

[true viper]

I think engineer should always be the anti vehicle class but I think giving the other classes a gadget that can serve as a deterrent to vehicles would be nice

Jeep stuff to Support, im not sure about Recon what Recond should have but I’m not a fan of giving Recon jeep stuff

I always thought an HE grenade launcher is pretty useless so why not add its properties to the regular grenade launcher

other classes should never be able to take out a vehicle by themselves but do enough damage to scare them off imo

[hasty marsh]

In bf1, the light AT grenade and kbullets serve as a good way to harass tanks, dealing chip that prevents them from repairing.

[true viper]

Hmm

Not the same as a deterrent

just annoying minor damage

self repair shouldn’t be a thing imo

[random blade]

anything stronger than minor damage would make tanking the most unfun thing

would be getting damaged from every possible degree

[true viper]

uhhh

I prefer vehicles being weaker

But I think the pragmatic point of view would be just be aware of your surroundings and avoid vehicles if you’re not an engineer

[hasty marsh]

minor damage but it does keep your teams momentum by preventing that repair, which allows your team to exert more pressure.

especially k bullets you can keep a guy pinned with that

[true viper]

hard issue

[hasty marsh]

what do you mean?

[true viper]

to balance properly

especially depending on which side you on, whether you hate vehicles or love them

[hasty marsh]

TBH, I think they can be as strong as people want so long as they never completely dominate the map and make it unplayable. A guy going on a crazy streak with an MBT isnt gonna be an issue so long as it isnt putting a hard stop to everyone else's fun, and isnt gonna be unbalanced so long as both teams have MBTs

I say this a mostly an infantry guy.

[random blade]

plus you just need one jet or attack heli to neuter it

[hasty marsh]

Also wouldnt mind some AT pickup weapons. The javelin would be better suited as a pick up item that completely fucks them IMO.

[random blade]

would at least give them the option to control that space as a preventative measure

[hasty marsh]

Thats inherit to pickup weapons though, right? Theyre dependent on map control.

[graceful sleet]

nya

[true viper]

interesting

[hasty marsh]

its less of a "this needs to keep tanks in check" thing and more that, as an infantry gadget, the javelin doesnt really live up to the player fantasy. These weapons are ludicrously powerful, now with a more notorious reputation, and I think only a pickup weapon can live up to that.

[random blade]

I’d be mostly happy with that since it would be limited to only one guy and not a team of dudes with an insane rocket

[dark schooner]

can someone help me with an achievement in bf1

I need just 1 kill with ribeyrolles 1918 fabric

but I cant get it

please

[opal schooner]

Did my bipod tip not help?

[still nebula]

For the hidden final stand dog tags on bf4 does the server have to have people in it? Mine doesn’t require people in it for it to start

[vale grail]

No, it's just faster that way

[vale grail]

No need, you can pick it up normally yourself on the jungle map

[vale grail]

The only stable coding in that game is the microtransaction hellscape of the in-game store

[vale grail]

Bad Company 1 and 2, BF2142, BF3, HL, 4 and 1.

[obsidian hinge]

Hardline is underrated af

[granite wyvern]

I loved Hardline, last BF with decent rental servers.

[tropic vortex]

It's a forgotten game for a reason

[rich ember]

people are babies and were like "ew what do you mean it doesn't have US vs. Russia in it, this #isn'tmybattlefield >:("

heaven forbid anyone does anything different.

the gameplay was even similar to BF4, and everyone fucking loves that game

[solid hinge]

just suggestion for the server regions : there could be 3 west center east and matchmaking pick ppl from 2 closest regions and ping best and etc

[granite wyvern]

Yet here we are are talking about it

[rich ember]

literally the entire reason it's a "forgotten" game is because the BF playerbase was a bunch of babies about it

[granite wyvern]

Would not worry too much about him - he thinks 2042 is the greatest BF 😂

[rich ember]

i don't think that's a real opinion

i think that's just an extended bit they do to get attention.

[serene estuary]

Bf4 on top

Bf2042 ain’t that bad imo

I just started playing 5 days ago and I’m just playing the draugr and it’s fun

[rich ember]

it is, it's literally the least functional of all the BF games, it has broken mouse input that never got fixed.

[granite wyvern]

It does not even have persistent servers / server browser

[serene estuary]

🤨

I just play public

idk man I’m having fun so far

[tawdry pelican]

Am I the only one that “redeploy” every time an enemy is guaranteed to kill me?

Like I do that when they don’t deserve the kill

[rich ember]

it has the same effect as if they just killed you.

why do that?

[granite wyvern]

I would imagine so

[tawdry pelican]

How, they don’t get the kill?

Idk maybe they do

[limber bough]

You still lose tickets for your team

[rich ember]

Your team still loses a ticket, and you have a death on the leaderboard.

You gain literally nothing from this action.

[tawdry pelican]

Yes I know but I do that to piss the enemy off lol

I gain satisfaction from knowing that the enemy is probably raging at that fact

[rich ember]

i feel like you overstate your own importance here.

[limber bough]

I can assure you no one gives a shit

[rich ember]

it's probably mildly confusing at best.

[opal schooner]

Most of the Battlefield community lacks awareness anyways they'd probably just think you got sniped

[granite wyvern]

Or rage quit

[tawdry pelican]

Nah but if I have 10 hp as a bomber and a fighter comes, then I’m guaranteed to die right? So I redeploy to at least take away a kill from the enemy

[limber bough]

It literally doesn't matter

[rich ember]

but your team still loses a ticket

so you gain literally nothing from this.

[tawdry pelican]

They would have anyways

I’ve explained this already

[rich ember]

this doesn't make this make any more sense.

[tawdry pelican]

I dislike the enemy jets so the least I can do in that situation is to take away a kill from the enemy

[rich ember]

but you don't actually take away a kill as the outcome is literally the same as if they'd just killed you anyway.

[tawdry pelican]

Yeah but it doesn’t count as a kill in the leaderboard

[opal schooner]

It can

[granite wyvern]

Gee, I wish I had you on my team - a guy who kills himself every time he thinks he’s going to lose a fight 🙄

[opal schooner]

"Assist counts as kills" exist

[rich ember]

your team still loses a ticket and it counts as a death on the leaderboard.

[tawdry pelican]

I do that when I’m guaranteed to die, like when I’m 5 hp with a JU 88 and a spitfire comes

[tawdry pelican]

And I don’t do it when I THINK I’m gonna lose I do that when I know

[opal schooner]

I mean you never truly know. Someone could take out the plane on your tail with a fleiger or an AA stationary

[livid bay]

Can’t you just bail tho? Like, you can still jump out to do stuff on the ground

[tawdry pelican]

Yeah right when I’m at peak altitude and at the edge of the map with no AA available, is a fliegerfaust supposed to teleport or what

[tawdry pelican]

I’ve tried but I always get killed the machine gun

[limber bough]

Either way it doesn't matter if you redeploy or die to a player

[opal schooner]

True. But to me this just sounds unnecessary and petty 😭

[limber bough]

You've still died

And lost a ticket

[opal schooner]

Like if I'm going to die I at least have the balls to give the enemy who worked for it the kill lol I don't wanna be annoying

[tawdry pelican]

It matters to me and that’s what matters

[limber bough]

Why does it matter who you die to though

[tawdry pelican]

As said I do it when they don’t deserve to get the kill, like if an AA has made me 2 hp and a fighter comes, like he doesn’t deserve it

[rich ember]

this is stupid

[limber bough]

Yep

[opal schooner]

😭

[tawdry pelican]

Too mad for no reason like calm down

[rich ember]

i'm not even mad, i'm just saying this is stupid.

[opal schooner]

Erm I don't think anyone's mad 😭

I just find it silly and tactically pointless

[tawdry pelican]

You’re ending the sentence with a dot

[rich ember]

I do that most of the time, you're not special.

[tawdry pelican]

I can sense anger even in text

[opal schooner]

Tone is hard over the internet, you can never be so sure

[rich ember]

Clearly not because I'm not angry, dude. I'm just saying this is stupid.

[opal schooner]

Tone is hard for me irl too but that's besides the point

[limber bough]

The dot says everything bro

[rich ember]

THE DOT. :O

[tawdry pelican]

Sounds like it but I know a mad sentence when I see one

[opal schooner]

😭

[tawdry pelican]

I gotta play the Ju 88 now before I disconnect

[rich ember]

Okay, dude, whatever you say.

[opal schooner]

I mean you're not in their head you don't know what they're feeling lol

[tawdry pelican]

This arras map is literally a nightmare for planes, I just got killed by TWO ANTI AIR AT THE SAME PLACE

[wintry merlin]

Bf2042 anyone, gamertag therussianatwar. Ps4 eastern time zone

[serene estuary]

Guys

Would it be good if my
duo plays Wildcat if I’m playing Draugr

[granite wyvern]

I don’t think sense and you go together.

[tawdry pelican]

Lil bros mad because a random person on discord that he’s never going to meet does something that he doesn’t agree with

[granite wyvern]

I’m far from mad, just find your take of views amusing.

[tawdry pelican]

You literally were in your message, don’t try do deny this man

[granite wyvern]

The one I was mocking you (and you replied to three times)?

[tawdry pelican]

And it wasn’t even a take, I just stated what I did in a virtual game and you decided to take your time to argue

[tawdry pelican]

I replied to quote later on

[frail venture]

[tawdry pelican]

You even replied an hour later lmao

[tropic vortex]

I like that honestly, they should have a Seppuku button so your rival doesn't get a kill

[tawdry pelican]

Haha yeah or maybe you can just kamikaze when the enemy is about to kill you

I kamikaze when I can but if I’m in the middle of nowhere and I’m guaranteed to die to a fighter jet I just redeploy

[next socket]

We need an osowiec map for bf1

[sterile jolt]

It was fixed

But last patch broke it again

[rich ember]

No it wasn't

[vagrant parrot]

Hey, is this the right server to talk about mapping Battlefield 1942 using BattleCraft 1942?

I'm trying to get some assistance making a BattleCraft 1942 map that will load in the latest version (plus patch) of Battlefield 1942, without causing the game to crash immediately after starting a local server.

I believe I'm on BF1942 v1.6

(or something slightly higher)

[tropic vortex]

BF 1943 is the best historic shooter

[dark schooner]

?

[opal schooner]

Try using the bipod a lot! It makes the accuracy great

[dark schooner]

bipod?

wdym

[tawdry pelican]

Does anyone know how to avoid fliegerfausts, like when I fly the mosquito I’m forced to dive to be able to kill infantry with my canons but then some mf can just one shot me with that stupid weapon

[dark schooner]

I need to get the ribeyrolles 1918 fabric

or just get it from someone

[fallow root]

Which zoom level is the ideal. More zoom tend to yield more kick

In fact, I think 7 or 7.5x would have been perfect

[vagrant parrot]

I take it no-one can help me then?

https://discordapp.com/channels/140933721929940992/177094649473794049/1293238498601472030

If anyone can help me, please DM me.

[uneven cape]

at how much zoom does the rifle sight start to reflect on bf1

[solid carbon]

zoom doesn't matter, if you use a sniper/marksman/patrol variant you will have glint

[uneven cape]

damn ☹️

any other classes with sights do not glint right

[limber plank]

we will see soon anticheat for bf1 and bf5 ?

[dark schooner]

I thought there already is an ac for bf5

and I think the ac for bf1 is postponed

how do I get ribeyrolles 1918 fabric in bf1

in an easy way

I cant get it

are there any war pigeons servers in bf1 that arent hardcore?

Battlefield Comms (@BattlefieldComm) ✧

We've made a slight change to Frontlines on #Battlefield2042 today.

Going forward the fallback timer (time between losing/gaining sectors) has been increased to 60s, up from 45.

This will allow additional time for the attacker to approach & contest new capture points.

This change is now live and may take some time to roll out across all Frontlines servers.

𝕏 | 📷1 · Oct 9, 2024, 12:00 PM

[granite wyvern]

There’s a 2042 channel for that

[dark schooner]

is there any gamemode in bf1 with a lot of vehicles?

[tropic vortex]

Even comms know how great 2042 is

[brisk wren]

so is this update why im crashing trying to load into 2042 >...>

[uneven hollow]

We do got #battlefield-2042

[granite wyvern]

They will just peddle the trash game until the new one comes out

[brisk wren]

problem is dice makes an ok base that needs polish after launch and when the polish gets there then EA forces most the team to start on a new title and by the time any of there games get proper love and content there already 3 to 6 months deep in deviong a new title and half the teams been ripped away.

[rich ember]

the problem is that DICE has good ideas and then they forget about all of those good ideas by the time the next game comes out

[upper berry]

2042 was also rushed within 2 years. A bunch of content got cut before release. Leadership is ass. And heavy demanding game support for last gen

The last gen support restricted how much they can do to the game

[brisk wren]

ya gotta remember a dev studio doesnt get to do what they want cause the publisher is fronting money and a lotttt that the dev studio wouldnt or cant do. so its a tug of war. were the creatives in the studio and the suitys at the publisher get what they want

[solid hinge]

battlefield 3 opens website and not the game

im on ea app

[granite wyvern]

2042 was different to most though. Instead of just launching with bugs etc. (which yes, usually take a while to sort out) 2042 was launched with conscious decisions by the developers to remove basic, core features expected in any BF. They slowly added many in (after the backlash) but even now it is missing basic (needed) features.

[brisk wren]

because unlike other games bf5 was rush deved right after 3 months due to bfv failure and half the team was doing the pacific and the other 2042 literally the game was made in a year it shows very well by the simple coding mistakes and erors only a dev team crunched and having just had "integral" layoffs

[granite wyvern]

BFV deserved to do a lot better (but God knows what DICE were thinking with their antics around launch time 😖)

[brisk wren]

ea isd america ubisoft

[tropic vortex]

EA is the best thing to happen in gaming

I'm happy bf5 was rushed

[urban canopy]

Well they're taking 4 years this time and the leadership has changed. It better be good this time.

[crude swan]

Any tips for flying a plane (imo its the worst plane handling in a game I have seen in my life)

[solid hinge]

if you're trying to do it with mouse and keyboard, i wouldn't

find the cheapest knockoff xbox controller and use that

[random blade]

it's not as bad as people make it out to be

just takes a bit of breaking into

first of all, bind pitch up to space and remove the fire bind. Make a custom portal lobby with no vehicle respawns, no ai in a map like Hourglass. Then just fly between things. Underneath the arch, between lamp posts, inbetween buildings. Get a feel for your turn rate, the effects of gravity, roll speeds. Fly upside down while close to the ground, turn upside down mid roll to keep turning in the same direction

[granite wyvern]

Sorry, but the only time I have spawned in a plane is by accident.

[random blade]

just do as much crazy stuff as possible, push it in a no consequences environment

[granite wyvern]

What to do if you run out of anti-tank ammo on BFV:- https://m.twitch.tv/clip/HeartlessManlyMelonDogFace-9suegBeFpX5khcPq?tt_content=clip&tt_medium=mobile_web_share

[sterile jolt]

I wonder how BF6 theme will be like

I think it will be most similar to BF3 and 4 but I might be wrong

[granite wyvern]

I just hope it makes up for 2042

[true viper]

please more like bf3

[swift sandal]

Regarding theme, what are the biggest differences between 3 and 4? Never played either myself and I guess because of that they look very similar to me in gameplay videos. Standard set of assets (cargo crates, concrete blocks, etc) in a modern setting

[sterile jolt]

I meant theme song 💀

They are similar though

https://youtu.be/iRN62IebC04?si=cLYtRMWdvR2z06Jd

https://youtu.be/-uEc8_dcYUc?si=Yd8l9LRQcJ9DePNT

[swift sandal]

Heh, alright. My bad. Genuine question above though ^ If there's any significant difference

[gritty crown]

I get it's a video game but I wish BF1 had less automatic weapons that were never actually used in WW1

It makes it feel too much like a WW2 game with a WW1 skin

[granite wyvern]

I loved the Automatico Storm back when I played that game

[sterile jolt]

Movement and levolution

BF3 is more stiff while BF4 has few movement glitches pro players takes advantage of
