[gritty crown]

Really the only semi autos in BF1 should be the RSC and some handguns

But I get it's more focused on what's fun rather than historical accuracy

[true viper]

Bf4 feels more stiff to me

[gritty crown]

Is the RSC even in BF1?

[true viper]

yeah

[gritty crown]

I haven't played in forever

[sterile jolt]

Try air strafing

[true viper]

I don’t mean vehicles

[gritty crown]

Btw speaking of historical firearms, I got to fire a full auto M1A1 Thompson

[sterile jolt]

No

Like jump and try to move

[true viper]

yeah bf3 feels more free

[sterile jolt]

It doesn't

You can slightly strafe to right or left

But in BF4 you can do 360s

While in air

[gritty crown]

Btw I never really play vehicles in BF4 but

[true viper]

That’s cool

[granite wyvern]

BFV has best movement ever

[gritty crown]

Where tf is the throttle on controller

[true viper]

I agree with that

[sterile jolt]

I agree

[gritty crown]

I tried everything I could only turn the afterburner on and off

[true viper]

Then I wouldn’t know

[sterile jolt]

Not sure if I should link it

[gritty crown]

The muzzle climb is way more than you'd expect out of a 12 pound gun firing a pistol caliber lol

[sterile jolt]

But Enders has a video on it

[true viper]

Maybe I’m biased?

[sterile jolt]

About the movement difference in BF games from 3 to 2042

4 is more ''free'' in that regards

[true viper]

I prefer bf3 while bf4 is my least fav

[sterile jolt]

Compared to 3

[brisk pewter]

Do you guys enjoy BF1 or 4 more? I started back playing both and 4 just feels so sweaty

[gritty crown]

Also the magazine is a pain in the ass to insert

[true viper]

I forgot 😞

Haven’t a shot gun since 2019

[gritty crown]

You have to line it up with these little grooves and I can't even imagine having to do that shit fighting in WW2

[true viper]

The great generation

[gritty crown]

I met a WW2 veteran recently

102

[true viper]

That’s good

Jesus

[gritty crown]

His name is Caster Salemi

You wouldn't even know he's 102, he looks like he's in his 80s

[true viper]

I prefer bf1 more, bf4 just feels awful to me, I can’t stand how the guns feel and vehicles too strong

[gritty crown]

There's a pretty heartwearming video from when he appeared in court for running a red light and got everything dismissed for his service

https://youtu.be/4HnhjRrEXeA?si=EgqEDmFwksamUFIy

He was in the Philippines

[true viper]

Ah

[brisk pewter]

4 used to be my absolute favorite game purely cause of sniping

[gritty crown]

It's sad how few WW2 vets are left

[true viper]

Only a million left I believe

[brisk pewter]

But 1 feels better for sniping and honestly more engaging

[sterile jolt]

Did they have to make Gewehr 1-5 that strong in BFV?

It was a last effort junk gun irl

[swift sandal]

In BF1 sniping was a bit too popular and op at times with the special kill ranges

For the next BF I'd prefer ttk to be kinda similar to BF1. I like the slightly slower pace of play more than in V or 2042

[vale grail]

Truly a 'You might not be ready for it yet but your kids are gonna love it' moment.

Because people can't enjoy something new or otherwise give it a chance.

[brisk pewter]

Agreed i hope its slower like bf1

Its just more fun when you get a chance to actually fight back

[granite wyvern]

My grandad fought in WW2 but he passed some years ago

[vale grail]

BF1's fine overall, they just fucked the SMG08's firerate and made the gun so codified it hurts, that and paywalling in-game content behind a no longer accessible means of obtaining it is also scummy as shit.

The BFV Enlister thing

[random blade]

It’s the opposite, the less movement you have the less potential you have to regain the initiative

[rich ember]

BF1 could've been a way better game though

Like if they didn't nerf sliding so hard, if they kept the lack of visual recoil and sight sway from BF4, if they had removed suppression, I would've really liked BF1.

[sterile jolt]

Same but Korean War vet

Not my grandpa though

But rather my father's aunt's husband

[rich ember]

My grandpa was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam.

Apparently got shot down once, and was exposed to Agent Orange.

He died a few years ago.

[sterile jolt]

Korean War BF would be pretty dope imo

[rich ember]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I don't have a strong opinion about it.

[sterile jolt]

Like BFV: 2

[rich ember]

I don't think anyone really wants BFV 2.

[sterile jolt]

I do

[rich ember]

why

[sterile jolt]

Becasue I like it's movement and weapon design

When you limit effectiveness of ARs to 50 meters max and SMGs to 30 meters max you will have more reasons to use SARs or shotguns

I never used them in BF3 or 4

Can't expect to do that in a modern BF game like imagine AK or M4A1 having 50 meters range, but you can do that in a game set in WW2 era

With older weapons

Korean War is like 5 years after WW2 anyways

[random blade]

Why not

[sterile jolt]

Too modern

BF is usually good at depicting weapons

[random blade]

We’ve got spread for that, 2042 had spread like that at around launch time

[sterile jolt]

To their real life counterparts

[random blade]

They could if they wanted to

They aren’t obligated to make everything true to life

[sterile jolt]

They obviously don't

But still

People would complain if effective range of AK was 50 meters

When in reality it's like 400 meters

[random blade]

People would complain about guns being true to life accurate at range aswell, I don’t feel the setting would matter much

[brisk pewter]

If you arent dead in .3 seconds then you have a chance to fight

Movement or not

[granite wyvern]

I do 100%

[vale grail]

Imagine BF1 with Bad Company 2's gunplay mechanics

[rich ember]

???

[rustic kestrel]

Alr who's playing Battlefield v right now ?

Need a good WWII boys squad

[last flame]

Soon to all be gone but at least we were the last generation to meet them in person

My grandfather fought in WW2 on the pacific front as a pilot, I think it was hard for him to talk about what happened but was probably the same for a lot of vets

[upper berry]

I meet a lot of vets in the military

I hear so many thing. Most of them is hard to remember shit. Since it been ages ago

[rustic kestrel]

I'm looking for good squad for Battlefield V, a team that love WWII and passionate about it please contact me

[livid bridge]

yo

[true viper]

What

No one has ever complained about that

Only with shotguns do people complain about inaccurate ranges

[granite wyvern]

No, imagine BF1 with BFV’s gunplay & gameplay ❤️

[tropic vortex]

imagine bf1 and bfv with 2042's gunplay & gameplay

[granite wyvern]

🤢🤮

[fallow wraith]

can someone help me to fix crash with bf2042, crashed graphics card try reinstalling latest driver

[random blade]

I honestly don't see why people dislike 2042's so much

sure specialists are annoying and all, but on a movement and gunplay front I still consider it almost the best

[sterile jolt]

SMGs can kill enemies within 100 meters in 2042

It wouldn't work in BFV or 1

Due to lack of spread/bloom ARs and SMGs are already too powerful in V compared to 1

[random blade]

of course dasher is the first to agree lol

given the map sizes i'm glad they're accurate over range

[tropic vortex]

There's a big difference between historic and futuristic guns

[random blade]

if things were smaller then sure, go for it, but it would be a slog if there was more spread

[granite wyvern]

They tried to make the game inclusive at the cost of not being fun.

[tranquil heart]

@prime pine good day to you too, sir

understandably

[prime pine]

Hey!

[tranquil heart]

watch the clip

fearless behavior

[prime pine]

Haha "that's a tank"

[tranquil heart]

understandable indeed have a nice day

💀

[prime pine]

Yep

[tranquil heart]

never doing that again

goofy ah aussie server

[junior torrent]

No

Movement and animation are downgrade

[devout lodge]

Hello, is someone interested in helping me get the "death from above" achievement on PS, or has some advice?

[remote plinth]

I am just gonna say it

Battlefield 4 is overrated

@tropic vortex

Based asf

[junior torrent]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

But what about the atmosphere

[remote plinth]

Trash

[junior torrent]

And you're saying that's worse than 2042??

[remote plinth]

Ppl that say BF4 is the best havent played BF3

[remote plinth]

Youre putting words in my mouth

[junior torrent]

Don't get me wrong. 3 had banger voice lines

And aesthetic too

But 4 voice acting and visual aesthetic aren't terrible

[remote plinth]

Have you played the BF4 campaign? That was legit ass

[remote plinth]

And that is basically the only good thing about BF4

[junior torrent]

I agree

But eh

I just want AI bots in multiplayer

And these dice scums only restored them in 2042

Wasted

[remote plinth]

Ngl, I always wanted a Co-op bot mode.

And now we got it.

[junior torrent]

Bots in solo mode for 2042 aren't great

[remote plinth]

And I had more hours with that then actual Multiplayer

[junior torrent]

AI bots are basic

And solo mode is garbage

You can't even switch damn side

Bullshit

[remote plinth]

The MP for 2042 is ass. All COD fanboys

[remote plinth]

IKR???

[junior torrent]

Right now

WR will save bf4

That's my only hope for a BF game

[remote plinth]

I hope BF6 will be more like BF3

Ppl that say they want BF4 in BF6 are crazy

I mean, if youre into a shit campaign, maps that are way too big for infantry and shit ttk be my guest

[junior torrent]

Im done with campaign

I simply want multiplayer with bots

That's GOOD

Like make bots smarter and advanced

Lemme play on all maps and modes

And additional options - like TEAM SWITCH

[remote plinth]

And make them so they GIVE ME MY FUCKING AMMO

[junior torrent]

And make them use all gadgets

Like imagine them using spawn beacon

RELIABLE AF

[remote plinth]

AND weapons

And why the hell do we have specialists in BF2042

The bots have the normal classes. Why cant we?

[junior torrent]

EA do be wanting a hero shooter

Game was originally supposed to be br

[remote plinth]

Whats with the BR bs anyways? Why do ppl still want that?

The hype is long over

And overrated

[junior torrent]

Remember concord?

Me neither

[remote plinth]

No 😭

[junior torrent]

[remote plinth]

Wth is concord

[junior torrent]

Google it

And you'll be astonishingly amazed

[remote plinth]

OOOHHH THAT GAME

THAT DIED IN A WEEK

[remote plinth]

Notice we both got shadow in our usernames

[junior torrent]

[hasty fractal]

i just played the combined arm mode in bf5

tried to find lobbies in hard mode

got no one so i just roll solo with anti tank sniper hoping ill do well for my first time

headshotted a bot with the AT sniper....

it only does 17 fucking damage

holy fuck lmfao

never playing that mode again

btw heard ppl said battlebits is similliar to bf4 experience

if anyone playing it is that game still alive?

[remote plinth]

Battlebit? 💀

No way ppl actually enjoyed that

[granite wyvern]

Not many people play that now and if they do it’s to get through certain gun assignments

[random blade]

Was pretty good I won’t lie

Especially for such a small team

[hasty fractal]

sadge

aint it almost goty

whats not enjoyable about it tho

heard its a solid battlefield experience

@granite wyvern

@remote plinth

[random blade]

It’s a sort of merging of milsim and battlefield systems, but it does bf well

[remote plinth]

You do you.

I just think its another copy

That died in a week

Like most games nowadays

[remote plinth]

Props to them, I just dont like it.

[hasty fractal]

the blocky graphic?

[random blade]

Yeah that’s fair, not going to try change your mind

though it was in development before 2042 was even announced mind you

[hasty fractal]

i mean i just want info so that i can decide to buy it or not

whats so bad about it or not

youtube reviews sometimes are too prejudice or overhyped

[random blade]

Don’t watch reviews, just watch some gameplay

No way to determine whether you will like something by watching someone else’s review. Find someone who shares similar interests to you and you might get a good idea, but otherwise just watch some long videos and see how it plays out and how you’d feel being in the drivers seat

[hasty fractal]

honestly it felt inferior to bf 5 except that u can have 126 vs 126 player and proximity chat

though i only play bf 5

tho a review from someone who actully play it is more useful than just watching vids

[random blade]

Understandable, it’s just down to finding those who have similar tastes who’s opinion you can mirror

[junior torrent]

I wish a bf game had better solo mode

Thankfully, WR is working on bf4

[indigo gazelle]

Hey, the anti-cheat's here yet?

[vale grail]

This guy literally said 'fuck it, I'll make TitanFall 3 myself' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2gGOQ3Ifrg

[serene estuary]

which weapon has underbarrel shotgun 2042

[solid carbon]

many

[hot plinth]

bf4 pc anyone

[solid hinge]

Does anyone play battlefield 2042? In gere

Here

[bronze storm]

"Improvement". Its not an improvement when the AC bricks you from even launching the game when the only 3 programs you even have open are steam, ea, and discord

[timid pulsar]

I can't wait for the next Battlefield game

[south radish]

Mostly curious how much from 3/4 they have in the game 😛

[south radish]

Also, hopefully they keep riding vehicles easy like this in the next one

Nothing like jet/heli surfing

@timid pulsar Its probably on smaller maps tbh

[timid pulsar]

yeah 16 player size

[south radish]

Gulf of oman has and dragon valley

Not gonna check more

Might be most maps 🤷

[timid pulsar]

I was in the minority of playing the 16 player maps in BF2 lol

[granite wyvern]

I’m usually that way with BF, but since 2042 I’m a little more reserved with my excitement.

[random blade]

I struggle to really be excited for anything now

Even if I’m confident that a game will be something I enjoy, it’s technical state is most likely going to be sub par

So game launches just feel a little miserable, even outside of bf

[wicked ledge]

Not to perpetually hate on 2042 but having spent £120 on the freaking super duper deluxe edition I definitely treat every new release with a brain of salt. Suicide Squad was the only time I wavered and that went as poorly as can be expected

I was a bit too blinded by the flash of the open beta (even despite all the jank)

[shrewd nacelle]

kinda an interesting issue, battlefield is doing this weird thing where it's skipping frames when i move my mouse? like the game runs fine but when i look around it just stops moving the camera then jumps to where it's supposed to me

idk how or why

any ideas?

[random blade]

Only spent £70 here but I get you. Some games have tempted me, was tempted to get stalker 2 just to support them but knowing their history that’s unwise

[granite wyvern]

I spent that plus I upgraded my XBox to a Series X especially for it. I stopped playing within 10 days lol.

[vale grail]

#battlefield-2042 try here

[vale grail]

The golden rule; 'try before you buy' is golden for a reason.

GameStops need the open floor kiosks so people can actually try new games and see if they're worth buying.

[wicked ledge]

I think I overestimated how many weapons there'd be, and the overall tone of the game. Hoping whatever CTE they do for the new game is on consoles too because I will be SCRUTINISING it to death before I consider it. Cannot stress enough his much they need to draw on the pace and tone of Battlefield 3 and 4

[vale grail]

And Bad Company 2, let's not forget.

[wicked ledge]

Never had the fortune to play it so I'll default to the judgment of BC2 veterans

[granite wyvern]

They need to use the gameplay of BFV

[vale grail]

it had full environmental destruction, every building, every tree, all of it was destructible. The weapons were all amazing and catered to every play style, only real complaint was the spawn camping griefers

[wicked ledge]

The mantling onto higher ledges is definitely something I want back. I just need them to get sliding right because it could really be abused in BFV

[vale grail]

Also the MG3 unlike the MG42 and 33 in BFV was accurate and not a watered down mess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCvGh7gJ6cE

[wicked ledge]

Ah gotcha. Well we saw that destruction physics demo a few years ago, before 2042. I hope even a modicum of that gets used in this game. Like look at the finals. I'd love to have physics based destruction that can impact the map. Only unlike the finals, falling debris should be able to kill players

[granite wyvern]

I do love the movement and sliding. I would also like to see squad revives remain and support actions

[vale grail]

Bad Company 2 is my hill because the sound design was honestly better in BC2.

[wicked ledge]

Idk I'm iffy about squad revives personally. I feel like having it be limited to the medic means there's a legitimate incentive for your squad to have one. Especially with the dragging mechanics that were rumoured

[vale grail]

You can still play Bad Company 2's campaign to get a feel for the enviromental destruction and weapon play, it's sadly a fraction of what the multiplayer had to offer given the servers being killed off for no known reason.

[granite wyvern]

I think the slowed down non-medic revive is a perfect balance for that

[wicked ledge]

Not to be derivative of CoD but it'd be awesome if diving was a thing. Because realistically it's a little hard to slide backwards or sideways, so make diving the function for those directions

[wicked ledge]

Fair fair

[vale grail]

the diving stuff is a bit much, though.

[wicked ledge]

Especially if we have the movement of BFV - crouch running and probing on your back

[vale grail]

Oh and in bad Company 1 and 2, the snipers didn't have glint

[wicked ledge]

Oh I don't mean fully flying through the air like a cruise missile, I do just mean a very short distance flop. So like you could dive in or out of cover, or dive onto your back when getting pushed to spray someone quickly. It's all about the actual speed of things

It's wacky as hell with CoD, players looking like superman

[vale grail]

You can jump prone already, just need to practice it

[wicked ledge]

Well case in point, make it more of a feature

[vale grail]

press jump and hold the prone button

[vale grail]

I'd say that if it were made into more of a feature than it already is then players will demand it be more codified

and after BFV/2042 being absolutely dogshit cod pandering crap it's the last thing we need.

[granite wyvern]

Don’t you dare compare BFV to 2042.

[wicked ledge]

Not necessarily. Core battlefield players - the really NUTS kind - are usually against CoD-esque movement. Look at the Slide in BF1

[wicked ledge]

BFV was subpar but absolutely innovated on a lot of things. Mantling onto higher ledges, crouch running, etc were all really good additions

Heck you could kinda dive through windows by jump proning/crouching

[granite wyvern]

It’s my fave BF I’ve played

[vale grail]

Case in point; If EA would stop circlejerking us and pust fucking make TitanFall 3 already we'd have a 'movement shooter' that'd kill cod instantly but noooooo we have to have a fucking battle royal game that no one asked for.

*just

[vale grail]

You could jump crouch into windows in bad Company 2.

[wicked ledge]

BFV sniping was on point too. Highest bullet velocities of any BF game I think. Though for this title I think dial it back a bit, I do like having to lead shots better

[vale grail]

BFV sadly had watered down gunplay that was a mix between 'realism' and 'cod laserbeam' guns. It's quite annoying to say the least.

[granite wyvern]

Never really been a sniper. If I play Recon I usually use the Trench Carbine

[wicked ledge]

It's a 50/50 really. They did innovate quite a bit with it. For example it did the whole weapon passives thing before 2042. I.e some weapons had faster ADS movement speeds

[vale grail]

You can't aim down the sights of an MG42 because it's 'not realistic' while you have cod mobile skins sprint sliding all over.

It's a horrible mix of half-baked unfinished crap.

[vale grail]

Which would work if the mechanics were built around that, BFV feels like cod and overwatch gameplay with a faint echo of battlefield thrown in somewhere.

Hence the issue

[granite wyvern]

I think being a run n gunner, BFV gameplay was perfect for me

[wicked ledge]

The ability to keep shooting while jumping was a solid addition ngl

Enders did a video comparing movement and I see BF3 had the option to stay ADS while vaulting which is cool

[granite wyvern]

@wicked ledge are you on Xbox as well?

[wicked ledge]

Playstation, alas

[granite wyvern]

Ah okay, just I run an XBox BFV group on FB

[vale grail]

It is, just hope it's not too far in either direction of being underpowered or cracked out of reality.

[upper berry]

BFV did follow through with the WW2 setting they essentially followed the cod trend

[tropic vortex]

Never gave me the band of brothers saving pvt Ryan vibe, didn't feel like a ww2 game at all

[granite wyvern]

A lot of fans were upset by all the female soldiers at launch. Although none of that bothered me much, DICE did not deal with the backlash from fans very well.

[upper berry]

BFV is a Woke game

[upper berry]

It didn’t bother me as much either

[granite wyvern]

As long as I can run around & shoot people I don’t care

[upper berry]

True true

And if it’s atleast decent overall

[wet fossil]

https://v.redd.it/tg2lpbhfm3ud1

Chongqing would actually make for a pretty badass map

Albeit one that's a nightmare to navigate and with maybe too much verticality

[tropic vortex]

Can see it as a 16v16 map

[opal schooner]

People who complain about games being "woke" are the corniest

[tropic vortex]

How so?

[opal schooner]

Because it's just bullshit lol

Me when I see a woman outside (this is forced diversity)

[tropic vortex]

Most should stay in but let's not go there

[opal schooner]

😭 insane

[upper berry]

Fr tho

ToxicDasher isn’t wrong

[hasty fractal]

wait why is it dogshit?

bf V

[hasty fractal]

250 round 980ish rpm machine gun that can ads will break the game lol

[granite wyvern]

It’s my fave BF

[hasty fractal]

ppl will run and gun with that

itll be type 2A but 4x worse

[hasty fractal]

same but i only play bf 5 so far

though i saw bf 2042 clips

that game is full of ninjas lol

the concept of distance and holding the line doesnt seem to exist

they just glide there like a squirl and cook ppl

[granite wyvern]

The sweats on Xbox tend to favour the ZK

[hasty fractal]

oh yea i also like that

that gun is decent

type 2a isnt rly the best when u scope in

i just use it to rush ppl sliding and hipfiring

at least zk u can use it like stg 44 lol

just abit worse recoil

[opal schooner]

It had an extremely buggy and messy launch that lacked content and a lot of the cosmetics are a bit too un-world-war 2 like in vibes.

[granite wyvern]

People moan about it but if you are too far from the enemy to spit at, most other SMG’s beat it

[hasty fractal]

m3 grease gun is peak for ranged fight

[opal schooner]

Generally it doesn't always embody world war 2 as well as bf1 does ww1 but I think it got overhated by people complaining about the women

[opal schooner]

True

[hasty fractal]

ah

i buy it years after launch so

its basicly having a good refined product?

[granite wyvern]

Was not helped when that DICE representative said if you don’t like it, don’t buy it

[opal schooner]

Yeah it's much better now

[opal schooner]

Yeah

[hasty fractal]

still hacker issue though but can avoid it if u play on the good community server

[hasty fractal]

crazy

[opal schooner]

Or if you're in on console

[hasty fractal]

most bf 5 guy on discord i see is console

lel

[granite wyvern]

Yeah I am so cheaters are few and far between

[hasty fractal]

ofc

console

how would anyone hack it lol

[granite wyvern]

Just strike pack and Cronus users

[opal schooner]

It's theoretically possible but much more difficult

[hasty fractal]

ig

hacker will find a way

[upper berry]

It’s always a cat and mouse game for pc and console. Anticheats gets better to slow them down, as cheats gets worse and worse. They both grow as we advance in technology

[hasty fractal]

im guessing console gotta do some hardwiring to cheat lol

[upper berry]

No real way of stopping it. Also older games is more vulnerable even with the latest anticheat

Console can stop 3rd party devices easily. Sony did it with that one PS5 update. But they can’t stop AI cheats from streaming their game via remote play on a PC

The cheating devices?

[hasty fractal]

sus

[upper berry]

I know Sony released that patched stealth and people flipped out about it. Cuz of that

If they revert the change or found a bypass it. ps5 players still can cheat, without remote play to PC

[echo tree]

Is there anyone who has unused code from bfV preorder? I really would like the weapon unlocks for bf1. (Pc/ea/origin)

[opal schooner]

If you get an origin subscription you can also use the weapons on PC

[trim aspen]

Hey folks, how's the situaton for European servers of BF4?

I'm deciding if I need to re-install either BF4 or BF2042

I know BF2042 has more players but I prefer BF4 gameplay, so if there's enough players to play comfortably at most times of the day it'd be fine for me

[verbal bone]

What’s the exchange rn?

[granite wyvern]

BFV has more players than both of those

[trim aspen]

it's what I'm playing right now lol

but I got tired of WW2

[upper berry]

Are you relying on steamDB. Cuz it’s crossplay with Xbox,PS, EA app, Steam or other launchers that it’s on.

Relying on steam only. Is bad perspective on games player base

[granite wyvern]

There are other sources

[upper berry]

Yes but other platforms don’t show numbers

Only steam does. Cuz someone linked it to its database for that reason, nothing else

[trim aspen]

anyway it's probably true....Steam has the bigger playerbase in general...if BFV has more players than BF2042 on the same platform is likely to be same everywhere

regardless it wasn't the topic I wanted to discuss

[upper berry]

Not always the case. BF1 on Steam excluding EA app players/numbers. Isn’t the same with Xbox/PS. could be lower or higher. Never the same. Hardline is still popping off on Xbox. But dead asf on PC.

Hardline is beyond dead on PC. No servers or players online.

[trim aspen]

yah but BF1 doesn't have crossplay so why would anyone care?

Neither does BF4

nor BFV

[upper berry]

Still. People rely on steamDB for player count and how it’s active. Compared to said platform that never will give out. Numbers

Most people nowadays that don’t have pc. Rely on SteamDB for any game. It’s sad

Steam numbers don’t justify other platforms. Steam numbers is for Steam only.

PC player base for any game. Dosent count the native launcher like EA app. Steam is one platform and that’s all. 2042 prob have higher number for PC only. But EA dosent give out those numbers like other platforms.

Steam can have X amount of players.
Yet the remaining players is on EA app. But it tells you there is small amount. But you see way more in game.

You see what I’m saying?

[opal schooner]

Yeah Steam metrics aren't the most reliable for Battlefield

[upper berry]

Fax

It’s not reliable for any game tbh

[trim aspen]

I do not agree but whatever, I don't really care, I just want to decide if I have to go with BF4 or 2042

Like if it wasn't for the players I'd go to bf4 immediately

[upper berry]

Not to be off topic. But cod have millions of players on PS. But steam numbers is really small. That’s not counting Xbox also.

[opal schooner]

It's reliable for like PC only games that are steam exclusive and that's about it (so mostly indie games tbh)

[upper berry]

Tru tru. Or PC only lobbies. But if a game have crossplay. The numbers honestly dosent mean anything at all.

Steam is for steam only. Not reliable source for any other platform.

[upper berry]

Like I said for BF hardline. It’s a huge difference

Game dead on steam/EA app. But alive on Xbox

[opal schooner]

I'm gonna be so sad next month when BF3's Xbox and PS3 servers shut down

[upper berry]

That’s only for last gen aka PS3/Xbox one

Not new gen consoles

Or PC

[trim aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/revolver-ocelot-gaming-mgs-guns-gif-17353618

[opal schooner]

New gen consoles operate on basically a makeshift emulator, at least for Xbox

So when the 360 servers go down so does the new gen version.

[upper berry]

The new gen BF4 version

[opal schooner]

It's different for BF4 because it was released as separate versions for xbox 360 and xbox one

Bf3 is just a backwards compatible 360 game

[upper berry]

That’s what I figured

On my Xbox I have new gen BF4 and it don’t say 360 on the game card unlike BF3

[opal schooner]

Mhm

[upper berry]

The servers is also separate from old and new gen consoles

[opal schooner]

Yeeup

[upper berry]

EA only said PS3/360 version will get shut down. So if you have new gen version or PC. Your fine

[upper berry]

That is true. BF3 as a whole. Won’t be playable for console due to no new gen version. But PC servers will be up still

[vivid rain]

https://youtu.be/iMhYe5bzZq0?si=B3Qt_esAchz5Oz9u some wacky glitches in this one

[hasty fractal]

is getting 15 m1 garand kills at 50m range in a single match hard or i just suck

in bf V

[tawdry pelican]

Man the bf 109 g6 really needs some balancing, when you’re playing as a Britt you stand absolutely no chance against it since the spitfire doesn’t have the high altitude cheat

The bf literally checkmates the spitfire, when it flies high you can choose between two things, go after it and stall, then the bf proceeds to shoot its rockets on you. Or you can run away but then it follows you and obliterates you

You need two spitfires and the bf to be at 50 hp for it to be a fair fight lmao

This has been an issue for years and they still haven’t fixed it

[granite wyvern]

Never used the Garand but the one I could never do was the last Karabin Mastery (25 hipfire kills in a round) - WTF?

[simple roost]

is it just me or is bfv just war thunder with some infantry gameplay as your loading screen between vehicle spawns? like actually i cannot play infantry for shit its just vehicles taking over every single match and i cant find any actual humans to shoot at

[granite wyvern]

Plat Tactical Conquest (Arras through to Rotterdam then repeat).

[simple roost]

ah i forgot there were like different categories of conquest

[granite wyvern]

Al Marj & Underground are full on infantry maps

[simple roost]

thanks, hopefully i can get some more enjoyment out of this game lol every time i played i would just queue into a random server and itd be a tossup between fun infantry stuff & very vehicle-dominated stuff

[granite wyvern]

No worries, use server browser and join on Arras 👍

[true viper]

I don’t mind tanks but hate air

[idle nebula]

hey

[tawdry pelican]

Have they nerfed the spitfire missiles or do I just suck? I saw some YouTube videos about it and in those videos the spitfire could destroy a tank but when I fire on a tank I deal a maximum of 64 damage? Those videos are old though

[upper berry]

They aren’t updating previous games but 2042. Set for EA anticheat

Whatever is set and made for changes is fixed for now on

[true viper]

take the aek out of the game dice

[tawdry pelican]

So it haven’t been nerfed and I just suck?

[vale grail]

The MG3 was 100 rounds at 1200rpm in Bad Company 2, no one had any complaints.

[vale grail]

BFV was a woke reversionistic take on WWII that deliberately tried to rewrite history and censor it. A common example to make is the Norway campaign, it was teams of MEN, not a single Mary Sue that took down the Heavy Water Plant.

[true viper]

That one pisses me off the most

“They have three options: they can come down from the mountains above the plant, which is littered with minefields; they can cross the single-lane suspension bridge, which is closely guarded; or they can descend to the bottom of the valley across a half-frozen river and climb a 500-foot-high cliff. They decide to climb the cliff, in the middle of the night, in the middle of winter!” – Neal Bascomb

[solid hinge]

Yeah, you know what else is ridiculous? "A new video game is coming out. If it isn't historically accurate, I'm going to be personally offended."

"if a company doesn't dedicate millions of dollars to fill my dopamine addiction the way I want it, I'm going to be really angry!"

we're talking about stuff that defies logic, right?

[true viper]

there’s a difference between historical accuracy and respecting history

What happened to battlefield incursions?

[granite wyvern]

I don’t really care about all that, I only care about the gameplay.

[wary sigil]

we need to discuss a real issue that plagues games and that the next battlefield could have

joining a match thats 1-2 minutes from ending or a team is just a few score points from winning

there NEEDS to be a system that "locks" lobbies once a team passes a certain score threshold, no one wants to join a lobby where the flow of the match is already set and wont be broken, a new player wont change the tide and all you'll do in said match is die 3-5 times on your spawn before the game ends within 30 seconds to a minute

cod is objectively bad i know but the ammount of times i join a domination match where a team has like 190 points vs my team being at like... 25 is actually impressive

2042 suffers from this issue aswell, though not as frequently

we're unlikely to get a server browser cause modern gaming but please dice can we, for once since mw2019 have a videogame with functional, logical and sensible matchmaking? thanks.

[random blade]

Was so incredibly annoying especially when it booted you back to the menu

[wary sigil]

real

Again, cod is a bad example cause its objectively a bad game

and since its matchmaking is manufactured for player retention, not actual gameplay

but holy shit

its insane

i fear how dice will handle matchmaking and servers on 2025

[random blade]

People were convinced 2042 used the same retention system when this matchmaking first approach came out, which tells you everything

[wary sigil]

2042's matchmaking is funny cause it will make a server just for you and no one will join

[granite wyvern]

We need persistent servers / server browser (or next BF will be a flop too).

[wary sigil]

both please

if we're sentenced to matchmaking, give us persistent lobbies

then again with servers we're also sentenced to power trip admins

[random blade]

I just want to be able to choose the damn map

Map + mode is what I use the browser for

[wary sigil]

erm akshually! 🤓 skill based matchmaking and taking choice away to the player is good actually!

Like please no

Look at mwIII

and halo infinite

[random blade]

I know the community feel is a big part of it for lots of people, but I just don’t want to spend 5 minutes requeuing only to get the same map that I simply don’t want to play

[granite wyvern]

No it’s not

[wary sigil]

that was the joke

[random blade]

There’s a reason the 🤓 was used

[vale grail]

damn!

[uneven cape]

russia vs ottomans on bf1 would've been dope

[vale grail]

Benign or otherwise anecdotal inaccuracies that're unintentional is understandable. Deliberate censorship, downplaying and rewriting history however is not.

BFV is not only a censorship of what truly transpired, it's above all else to claim it never happened if it's to be presented as 'an accurate portrayal' instead of being shown as accurately as possible.

It's a disgrace to the men and women who gave their limbs, sanities and lives for their respective countries.

[granite wyvern]

BF is NOT a history lesson, it’s a video game - get a grip

[vale grail]

Technically it is, it's a good lesson on how not to treat your development team and fanbase, it's definitely going down in the books of business education courses.

[odd flame]

Anyone wanna play bf1? On xbox

[trail oxide]

I’m down, anyone else?

[odd flame]

My user is TwoWhiteBoys22 add me 😀

[odd flame]

Just went 50 and 19

[rich ember]

To be honest, I feel like most of the people that were complaining so hard about BFV or even BF1 not being "historically accurate" are just being big babies and should not be listened or catered to, they shouldn't even be acknowledged.

Video games do not exist to be perfect representations of reality.

[vale grail]

A fair bit had no real arguments, even I couldn't stand them. However the point still stands that having a game be set in a historical setting should respect said history, unless otherwise stated as 'alternate history'.

[vale grail]

As for this, not all the time, no. But when the setting would be better with more realistic elements then yeah. Arma is a prime example of there being a market for it.

[rich ember]

I don't feel like most things that BFV did (Barring some exceptions with the paid soldier skins with REALLY unfortunate names) represented a disrespect of the history.

[rich ember]

Battlefield does not really benefit from pure realism. it is an arcade shooter.

Arma existing does not justify trying to make the arcade shooter as realistic as possible.

[vale grail]

In its portrayal of history, I understand that some elements in gameplay are needed to appeal to the core audience, however those elements should only be tweaked when needed and maintain a consistent baseline.

[rich ember]

Aside from paid solder skins, like that one german one that looks really stupid, I feel like it is mostly fine aesthetically.

[vale grail]

And when it's in a historical setting, respecting history should be the main point. Otherwise put a 'alternate history' disclaimer or just don't do history.

[rich ember]

Gameplay, aside from spread to recoil conversion, is good for the purposes of being an arcade shooter.

[true viper]

these ‘it’s just a video game’ people, yet are the ones going around saying video games are art

[vale grail]

Contradicting one's self in the same sentence, got to 'love' it.

[rich ember]

...are you saying they're contradicting themselves

[vale grail]

Quite a few people do that... you'd be shocked

[rich ember]

i mean in this instance you are literally getting mad at a person that @true viper invented, because nobody said that

[vale grail]

Not really the censorship of WWII's National Socialist imagery being a major part of my complaints.

[vale grail]

You missed an earlier part of the conversation

[rich ember]

Yeah well take it up with Germany, i donno what to say.

[true viper]

Wasn’t bfv advertised as like ‘wow a ww2 game but on the unknown battles’

[vale grail]

Ironically enough they lifted the ban of that being presented in games.

[rich ember]

I don't really care, i typically roll my eyes when i see that stuff.

[rich ember]

seems inconsistent from what i hear

like i've talked to germans

[vale grail]

Opening prologue basically said 'this shit unheard battles learn for yourself the 'real' stories'

[vale grail]

And I've played Wolfenstein youngblood with Germans, they said they can see the Sw@sticas.

[rich ember]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vale grail]

Depends purly on the studio and weather or not they care about portraying WWII properly. Rebellion is a prime example on what a good modern WWII shooter is.

[true viper]

I don’t mind a world war game being arcadey, I hate games like hell let loose where you can get shot in the toe and instantly die

but I prefer if the game respects history

[rich ember]

I think BFV had bigger issues than historical accuracy.

[true viper]

you’re confusing respecting history and historical accuracy

historical accuracy would be everyone running around with their respective faction’s standard issue gear

respecting history would be not having a cyberpunk woman in a ww2 game

[rich ember]

Like i said before. Barring paid skins that look stupid and had really unfortunate names, i believe there was a german one that shared a name with an irl revolutionary from the time, nothing in BFV strikes me as blatant disrespect of the history.

cyberpunk my ass it was a prosthetic that was accurate to the time.

[true viper]

a woman with a prosthetic arm on the frontlines of ww2

[rich ember]

video game. you barely see it anyway.

[true viper]

the muh its just a video game doesn’t help you at all

[rich ember]

i mean, it is.

[true viper]

muh its a video game dont complain about lag

[rich ember]

different issue

[true viper]

muh its a video game dont complain about balancing

same issue

[rich ember]

lag effects your ability to play the video game

[sterile jolt]

Sadly she doesn't exist

[rich ember]

balancing effects your ability to play the video game

[sterile jolt]

I would've loved to use that character in the game lol

Just to make people mad

[rich ember]

the single woman with a prosthetic arm that barely exists doesn't

[limber bough]

Muh reeeeespect

[sterile jolt]

Besides, BFV's ''war stories'' side is historically inaccurate as hell

[rich ember]

OH YEAH

WAIT

[true viper]

‘doesn’t exist’

literal face of the cover

[rich ember]

THE PROSTHETIC ARM WOMAN WAS NEVER ACTUALLY IN THE GAME

THEY REMOVED IT BEFORE LAUNCH

[true viper]

the main character of the reveal trailer

[sterile jolt]

No she's not in the game

You can't equip a cyborg arm

Or a katana on the back of an Irish soldier

For war stories part:

[true viper]

a teenage Lara Croft wannabe replacing the Norwegian commandos who stopped the Germans from potentially building a nuke

[sterile jolt]

This

Also Senegalese soldiers weren't a subject of racism

[true viper]

how is that not disrespecting history

[sterile jolt]

If anything they were praised for their bravery by French

[limber bough]

Just like how any other media changes history

To make a story

It's not about respect in the first place

[sterile jolt]

You can make historically accurate and entertaining stories too

Like real life is more interesting than fiction sometimes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filthy_Thirteen

1 example

[limber bough]

Of course you can

[rich ember]

still, i don't think it's fair to say that making fictional stories that take place during a major war really counts as disrespecting history.

[sterile jolt]

They don't even acknowledge Norwegian commandos who sabotaged the Narvik dude

That's the people's issue

Germany most likely would've had nukes if not for them

[rich ember]

I am very seriously doubting that the people complaining knew about or gave a shit about that, I strongly feel like most of the "criticism" was just levelled at the fact that women were portrayed at all.

Like, I feel like you're giving those people way too much credit

[sterile jolt]

I honestly don't have much of an issue with women in games

But WW2 setting ain't it

Especially not in western front or pacific

It would've been accurate in eastern front which we never got

[rich ember]

yeah but you'll be surprised at the amount of people that do, and when BFV showed up with women in WW2, they were all willing to ride the "historical accuracy"/"respect the history" train as long as nobody asked them about WW2 history outside of like, the germans.

or like, tanks.

I strongly feel like that's where most of the BFV criticism came from, people that were mad that women existed in a video game and then latched on to the closest excuse that came up that would seem reasonable.

[limber bough]

Why would they when they're not actually following the real history

[true viper]

some do it good, some do it bad

[rich ember]

It's why I largely just toss all that shit in the garbage

I don't really care, I genuinely care more about the quality of a game than if it's representing WW2 or Vietnam accurately.

which is why I think BF1 is bad

[true viper]

Female spies were a thing, no one would’ve minded that

[rich ember]

oh, Gamers™️ definitely would've.

[true viper]

Cod WW2 did it

[rich ember]

There's a thing you need to know about those people. They hate minorities.

They show up, they're gonna hate the fact that they exist.

they hate women and minorities.

[sterile jolt]

BF1 is historically too inaccurate imo

[rich ember]

To be honest, I could not give any less of a fuck if BF1 is historically inaccurate, it's just not that good of a game.

[sterile jolt]

Half the SMGs or ARs shouldn't exist

In BF1

Or 90% of them

Besides MP18 and Fedorov Avtomat

[true viper]

it’s just a game

[sterile jolt]

Those actually were used

[true viper]

it’s just a video game

[rich ember]

I think the only guns that shouldn't have been put in BF1 are the SMG 08, and every elite kit.

[true viper]

you’re complaining over nothing

[true viper]

it’s just a game

[rich ember]

Like, Assault did not need an 84 round SMG.

It already had like, a 50 round one with the Hellriegel.

[sterile jolt]

I get where they come from but it's not an authentic WW1 game like people claim it to be

[true viper]

its a ww1 video game

[rich ember]

it looks pretty and is really atmospheric.

[true viper]

it doesn’t matter

[rich ember]

That is what most people are on about with BF1.

[true viper]

what you want all of them to have bolt action rifles and that’s it

[sterile jolt]

Bolt actions, semi auto(just RSC but still) and many LMGs also existed

[rich ember]

Like, most of the guns in that game probably shouldn't exist, they only do so due to the traditional BF class structure.

[sterile jolt]

Too many ARs and SMGs though

[true viper]

actual hypocrites

[rich ember]

A BF game with only bolt actions, limited semi autos, and LMG's, would be difficult to balance across 4 classes.

[sterile jolt]

Nah

They can adjust rate of fire

Like give carbine variants twice as much RPM and give them to assault

[rich ember]

they could've but they didn't.

[sterile jolt]

At the cost of damage

For example

[rich ember]

Yeah, but, they didn't.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sterile jolt]

I know

It bothers me in BFV too because while it's more accurate it also has many ''non existent'' weapons

[rich ember]

it probably would've been possible but to be honest I don't think the DICE devs wanted to change up the gameplay that much.

Though I feel like they still changed it too much from BF4.

Like, for what it's worth, I like the Medic class in BF1.

[true viper]

@vale grail massive hypocrites, the only defense they had for disrespecting history is ‘just a game’, and here they are with BF1 not being authentic because too many smgs

[rich ember]

I think SLR's are a fun weapon type to replace AR's with.

They typically reward accuracy, which is nice to see.

Would've been better if they kept the removal of visual recoil from BF4 tho.

Also removed suppression's effects on spread while making it mostly a visual/auditory effect.

but they didn't.

[sterile jolt]

Who is hypocrite?

Not me I don't think BFV or BF1 either are accurate historically

I think BF1 does a worse job when it comes to gameplay and V does it worse when it comes to story and cosmetics

There are some skins with modern cargo pants and kevlars in BFV lol

[rich ember]

BF1 could've been a lot better gameplay wise.

[limber bough]

Both games compromise on gameplay and historical accuracy just because of the setting they're in

And the result is poor at best

[sterile jolt]

Type 2A is the reason why they should've made it more historically accurate in BFV

[rich ember]

eh, aren't there guns that are just as good in BFV?

[sterile jolt]

Real life counterpart had half the RPM

[sterile jolt]

Type 2A has higher RPM than Suomi/Tommy, while also having less recoil and better specilizations, like you can go light bolt in Type 2A with 1200 rpm and 30 round mag, if you go light bolt in Suomi or Tommy you will get 900 rpm and 20 round mag

Type 2A requires 1 more shot to kill compared to Suomi or Tommy but honestly it doesn't matter when it's too fast already with more ammo to spare

[rich ember]

I mean, if it's so good then why do people use the ZK-383?

[sterile jolt]

ZK won't win against Type 2A in 1v1 lol

ZK is good because it's a jack of all trades weapon that performs well in every area

[rich ember]

Ahh, okay.

I get you now

[sterile jolt]

A Suomi can win against ZK in 1v1 but can't against Type 2A

No SMG can

I don't have issues with Suomi or Tommy because they have high recoil, you can win against them with slow firing weapons with good accuracy, Type 2A has non existent recoil

[rich ember]

yeah yeah, classic DICE balance moment

same DICE that brought you the SMG 08 in BF1.

[true viper]

and AEK

[rich ember]

hey, didn't Lab ask you a question

why'd you dodge that

you can't just duck out of a convo and expect us to not notice.

[true viper]

AEK with heavy barrel, foregrip

no recoil

[rich ember]

you're dodging the question again

[true viper]

worst thing ever in a video game

[rich ember]

hey

you're dodging the question

[true viper]

like you didn’t dodge me earlier

massive hypocrite as per usual

[rich ember]

did you ask me a question

[true viper]

just using your own tactics against use

owned

[rich ember]

did you ask me a question.

[true viper]

I said dodge me

not dodge a question

[rich ember]

Okay, ignoring you is not the same thing that's happening here

you were asked a question, and then you dodged it

dropped out of the convo and then came back like nothing happened

[true viper]

take the aek out of the game

[sterile jolt]

Also unrelated but the weapon displayed is actually Type 1A

Real life Type 2A looked more similar to MAB

[rich ember]

Also, BF4 weapons don't have that much recoil in the first place, the ACE23, F2000, and FAMAS are all just as good as the AEK

Plus it was 11 years ago

[true viper]

insert game was x years ago

[rich ember]

like, i think you were just bad, and are chronically mad about it

[true viper]

owned

[rich ember]

you still didn't answer Lab's question by the way

[true viper]

bro is mad still

skull emoji

[rich ember]

bro is thinking i'm mad 💀

[true viper]

bro is still yapping

[rich ember]

i'm just speaking facts to ya my guy

[true viper]

idk the name of thsr emoji

[rich ember]

bro doesn't know the name of the emoji

😂

[true viper]

i pointed out your hypocrisy first my ally

[sterile jolt]

https://guns.fandom.com/wiki/Nambu_Type_2

[rich ember]

what hypocrisy

[sterile jolt]

Real life Type 2 would be a better gun honestly from a balance point

[rich ember]

Lab asked you that, you didn't answer

[sterile jolt]

600 rpm, 50 round mag, bayonet attachment

[true viper]

Uhhh

Lab

[sterile jolt]

Yeah

[true viper]

idk anything about the type 2

sorry, cant help you there

[sterile jolt]

Okay

[true viper]

you’re right actually

cod ww2 also used the correct type 2 nambu

odd

[sterile jolt]

I also wish they used Mark 5 Stens

With foregrip, pistol grip and a wooden stock

It looks cooler despite being less iconic imo

Mark 5 also had bayonet option which is always a plus

[true viper]

strange how the most far fetched gun in ww2 was probably the AK47 prototype, while Vanguard has outright laser weapons

[sterile jolt]

Damn..

AS-44 really looks like proto AK

Similar barrel, receiver and mag

AK's bolt is very different I assume though

It's funnily inspired by M1 Garand

[granite wyvern]

Sweats murder Type 2A users with the ZK. Type 2A is formidable at spitting distance but useless otherwise.

[rich ember]

I really wish people wouldn't use sweats as a shorthand for people that are good at the game

[granite wyvern]

Well the word works (as you knew exactly what I meant).

[rich ember]

well yeah, but still. just wish people would be more honest about it.

[granite wyvern]

Being called a sweat is like being accused of cheating (when you’re not) - it’s a compliment 🙂

[rich ember]

yeah but it's also people derriding others for being better than them, acting like that fact is the problem, not the fact that they are simply not good at the game.

[granite wyvern]

The only time I have an issue with top players is when they stack a server together on the same team and ruin the matches (spawn camp within 5 mins).

[rich ember]

but here's the thing with that. people that are good at the game, are likely to be friends with other people that are good at the game.

Are people that are good at the game just not allowed to play with friends?

[granite wyvern]

Me and my guys switch teams when we end up on the stacked team.

I’m not talking one squad

What is really funny is when certain top players rage quit on those occasions it’s the other way round.

[rich ember]

I imagine most "top 2042 players" are actively sick of the game at this point, but likely play it for streaming/youtube content purposes.

and at that point I can't exactly blame them for leaving matches if they don't feel like sticking around, they don't exactly have to prove anything to anyone, they've got a following already.

[granite wyvern]

I left 2042 after 10 days, my perspective is regarding BFV.

[rich ember]

makes sense.

[uneven cape]

i think the issue about innacuracy could just be solved with a mod to fix the skins on mp and sp, just like there is for bf1

[random blade]

It could be as innacurate as possible and I wouldn’t even notice

Such things just don’t really bother me

[uneven cape]

i dont mind inaccuracy when it comes to weapons since its for better gameplay and besides teaches you about unknown weapons of the war

but something as simple as a model that can be changed in no time

[random blade]

Although I can understand your discontentment since they went and said both bf1 and v were meant to be these super immersive ww2 experiences

[uneven cape]

i mean bf1 is somewhat acceptable

on bfv its deadass a warzone lobby with trails and wacky ass uniforms

if they only kept the bfv models simple and non-customizable

[granite wyvern]

I love sliding around with my Tom Cruise skin and a golden shotgun 😎

[vivid kayak]

hello guys i have problem, my battlefield 1 doesnt want to launch on steam and ea, what should i do?

[tawdry pelican]

I don’t understand how people get 70+ kills with fighter planes like how do you even have to the time to fly back to resupply so many times, the most I get is 30 kills with fighter planes in bf5

Anyone know a trick or something

With the spitfire I always shoot all 4 missiles at enemies, and when I shoot one or two I only do like 60 damage to enemies

[serene estuary]

is it nust me or is Reclaimed on b2042 similar to a map on 2
bf4

bf4 had more heights tho in the mid buildings

[limber bough]

It takes inspiration from Zavod

[serene estuary]

yeahhhhh

[vivid kayak]

hello guys i have problem, my battlefield 1 doesnt want to launch on steam and ea, what should i do?

[uneven cape]

uninstall and download again

[random blade]

part of it could be down to the faction imbalance, but they probably just know dogfighting principles and have good enough situational awarness to not die instantly

[tropic vortex]

Playstation

[sullen mountain]

for bf1, how often you zeroing sniper rifles?

[random blade]

never

I just got used to the base zeroing, more natural that way

you just need to learn drop for one preset over several

[modern saddle]

Anyone willing to help me get the plat on bfv death from above is the only trophy I’m missing and I suck at flying so I have zero towards it but it’s only five times

[rich ember]

i think BF peaked at Hardline actually

people don't wanna talk about it

[austere sail]

Hi guys do you like bf1 or bf5 more?

[rich ember]

...I hate both games. Neither game is good, they both just have different issues.

[austere sail]

And what Battlefield you like?

BF4/BF Hardline.

[austere sail]

Nicee

These are good

[rich ember]

naaaah

It was a refractor era BF game, it was clunky as shit cause it's old.

The only reason people give a shit about it now is cause Project Reality exists and even then that is mostly irrelevant by Squad and Arma existing.

[random blade]

wooo squad we love squad yeaah

[rich ember]

we love squad except for when we don't

[humble totem]

Hey guys 👋, I’ve just hosted a battlefield 5 Hardcore server If anybody would like to join? Server name is - Hardcore 200% limited hud

[tropic vortex]

Most of the players here love hardcore

[humble totem]

🤣

[rich ember]

i'mma keep it a buck with you my guy ain't nobody playing BFV Hardcore

[humble totem]

Yeah I figured that. I remember bfv hardcore servers being quite common though.. now it’s dead af, Wich is unfortunate bcs hardcore servers are 🔥

[rich ember]

...I can only imagine the absolute specimens that play BFV Hardcore.

probably on the same level as people that run Hardcore Crouch Only servers on older PC CoD's.

[humble totem]

Lmao, whatever u say buddy 😂

Shi used to be quite popular when I first started playing, now it’s virtually non existent

[rich ember]

naturally people do get better at the video game

and then they don't have to play hardcore anymore.

kind of a misnomer actually.

[humble totem]

I just prefer the hardcore for the no hud and higher damage, it’s less Arcady Wich is what some people enjoy, people don’t run around like lunatics (as much) but each to their own, if ur not a hardcore fan just say so😂

I play both hardcore and non hardcore, it’s just a change 🤷🏻‍♂️

[rich ember]

i mean I just think the name is inaccurate.

it's not really making the game any harder, if anything the game is easier when people are generally less aware and everyone has less HP.

[humble totem]

Makes the game better for us older generation of players, sometimes I cba having to unload half a mag to kill somebody. Personal preference.

I was just curious if anybody wanted to join the server with higher damage and less hud and I’m fully aware nobody’s interested in the whole hardcore stuff

[rich ember]

i mean it's not half a mag if you hit your shots

but okay.

[humble totem]

Bro. I wasn’t being serious when I meant half a mag

[random blade]

Either way, the #portal channel is your best shot

[humble totem]

Cheers bro 👊, I’ll give it a go.

[random blade]

Can’t guarantee much tho, people don’t tend to do much server advertising here in general

[humble totem]

Alr, it was worth a try though 🙂

[vale grail]

Creative liberties taken to showcase prototype concept guns is more understandible, and even so it still respected WW1's history with the codex. We don't see that for the bombers, guns, locations or anything overall in BFV. Only inkling of 'accuracy' is The Last Tiger, and even then it's horridly censored.

[granite wyvern]

Can’t stand it

[granite wyvern]

BFV by far for me (although BF1 had better atmosphere/looked more beautiful).

[uneven cape]

wait theres no codex entries on bfv?

and how did they get last tiger wrong isnt it not based on any real story

[vale grail]

No, none at all. No codex, no accuracy, it's so sanitized and re-written it should be called science fiction

[vale grail]

Surprisingly it actually is, and what they got 'wrong' was the lack of actual National Socialist imagery.

[uneven cape]

omg this story is so interesting

now im pissed off at dice for being inaccurate at portraying cool ass stories like this

[neon torrent]

Just came across my first suspected hacker... underground map 150 kills and 3 deaths with the most accurate mg42 ever....

[tropic vortex]

He died 3 times tbf

[neon torrent]

With 150 kills😂 and running and gunning with a mg42

[tropic vortex]

[violet plume]

somebody wanna play bf1 rn?

im on xbox

[solid carbon]

#lfg-xbox

[solid hawk]

Yeah. You still on?

[violet plume]

yep

[solid hawk]

Sent you a dm.

[willow berry]

#lfg-pc anyone wanna squad up?

[remote plinth]

When new Battlefield? 👀

[rich ember]

later

[sullen mountain]

is 1000 kills with martini henry good enough?

[modern saddle]

Anyone willing to join a community match on bfv need two to start trying to get a trophy for the plat

[granite wyvern]

What do you mean? (Could have taken you 8 years to get them). What’s your KPM with it?

[vagrant basalt]

I just hate mfs who join ur squad just to spam order request then when they end up getting leader they kick u out and all the point u gained is gone

It's funny cause it's always a higher lvl at the bottom of the leaderboard going negative

[vagrant basalt]

Yo what's up kp been a minute u still playing bf5?

[knotty adder]

hey guys is bfV still active? I haven't been on BF for a long time now

[granite wyvern]

Yep, just got back after a 3 month break on Overwatch 😎

[granite wyvern]

Guilty as charged 😂

[vagrant basalt]

🤣

[vagrant basalt]

Same I been on a break too

[vagrant basalt]

Yep atleast on xbox it is probably not as much on pc

[true viper]

Bfv on Xbox usually has like 15 servers

[granite wyvern]

Or if you play both EU & US East, even more than that

[vagrant basalt]

U still play?

We should play again sometime I got a mic

[granite wyvern]

Yeah, that would be good

[vagrant basalt]

I need some better players on my squad anyways and I know u good asf

I'm decent just not as good as u

[granite wyvern]

I should be on tonight and am always glad to have company in the game 👍

I’m not as good as I was, still getting back into it

[wispy shard]

Just did the peacekeeper unlock in (1:57:21) Raw/(1:35:17) No Loads
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2275648384

[sullen mountain]

I got them under 200 hours playing

0.94 KPM

[granite wyvern]

That’s not too bad

[fringe yacht]

All my time I have just been playing Combined Arms and not multiplayer.

[rich ember]

okay?

[random blade]

Nothing’s stopping you from playing it still

[rich ember]

I mean, you could just not cheat.

[bleak saffron]

I really don't understand why people cheat

Other than the fact that they are subhuman filth

[granite wyvern]

Yeah, git good

[vale grail]

They just didn't want to program more than five vehicles.

[vale grail]

I second this, it's insane that people literally hack a game and then have the gall to cry about their accounts getting banned.

It's like robbing a store and then throwinh a hissy fit when cops taze you.

[neon torrent]

When do you get your coins when you complete a story mode?

[fallow root]

Those who make hacks or distribute them are the ones who should be crucified ngl

[fallow root]

Ppl cheat in monopoly, poker, chess and single players

[granite wyvern]

That does not answer the question though.

[rich ember]

Poker, you stand to gain money from.

[fallow root]

Not everyone thinks that it screws the time for others, apart from that It is probably difficult to generalize the urge to cheat

Anyway, there is always dirty play in football Something that is considered normal due to the nature of the game

[fallow root]

Heard that 5% win, the rest lose money. True or false ?

[limber bough]

Nice scam bro

[random blade]

I had someone trying to buy my fortnite account through reddit the other day lol, had no idea account buying was so prevalent

[limber bough]

It's a huge business

Unfortunately

[vagrant basalt]

Bruh kp I got some funny to show u check dms rq

This guy calling me a cheat on xbox and he says he gets a higher up that's works at microsoft🤣

I killed him 3x in bf5

He said he has over 200 bans this month on console and he supplies info to all fps companies

I just told him I'm Jeff bezos

[limber bough]

He must be a special lil guy

[vagrant basalt]

He is he doesn't even make a complete sentence right

[granite wyvern]

Best compliment you can have is being called a cheater 😂

Don’t recognise the GT

[austere sail]

Hi guys

[dark schooner]

whats the purpose of making bots in bf1

I saw a server that was full of bots

[dark schooner]

which gamemode in bf1 is the best for getting kills?

[austere sail]

Probably conquest or team deadmach

And do you guys know how to get the gas mask kill? Because I tried it and it didn't work

[solid carbon]

war pigeons

[solid carbon]

go prone inside of an enemy and keep spamming gas mask

[austere sail]

I tried it and it didn't work

[solid carbon]

sometimes ur just unlucky, it's not like it works 100% everytime

[austere sail]

Ok thanks bro

[austere sail]

Bro, nice I have 150 kills and scout level 50😂

[austere sail]

What is your bf1 nickname?

[uneven cape]

such a shame

Hello, I need help with a problem I have considering BFV and part of the community.

[dark schooner]

there should be bf1 servers with monte grappa only

its the best map and a lot of people think the same way

[distant ice]

👀

[distant ice]

I hate the planes on that map.

Well Tank combat is addicting

[dark schooner]

imo its not that bad

still this map is the best

[distant ice]

What are you on? PS4/xbox or pc?

[dark schooner]

pc

[distant ice]

Lucky. For ps/xbox players planes are a big problem

[upper berry]

Controller is dumb easy for planes compared to MnK

[bleak saffron]

Oh my god the M1 Carbine is so much fun

[vagrant basalt]

Fr especially on xbox 😭

[bleak saffron]

And it's all because cheats are so prevalent

[junior torrent]

its fake player count

not real ai bot on the map

[vale grail]

It is, BF1's got a lot of anachronistic elements with the gunplay and weapons overall but they were real prototypes and a hypothetical 'what-if' scenario on what the war'd look like had they been mass produced and saw frontline service. At least with 1 the history was respected, in V it was nothing short of a corrupt company chasing a demographic that doesn't exist pissing on the memories of those who suffered...

[vale grail]

I usually don't side with the Legion (FallOut: New Vegas) but the phrase; "Degenerates belong on a cross" applies I'd argue.

[vale grail]

Funnily enough, Monopoly is based off of places in New Jersey.

[bleak saffron]

I remember when playing BFV required a college degree because of so many "uneducated" gamers.

[granite wyvern]

Not on Xbox they’re not

[upper berry]

Xbox and PS both have cheats

[vale grail]

When you're fighting Frankenstein robot men and giant cyborg dogs and that game (Wolfenstein) respects WWII's atrocities better than whatever the fyuck BFV is.

[vale grail]

I cannot stress this enough, alternate history works when the time period is respected. Look at Assassin's Creed (before it went to shit after Black Flag), Wolfenstein, and Black Ops 1 and 2. All these games are fictitious retellings of various eras of history but they still work because they respect the reality of what truly happened.

[upper berry]

Fax^

Nowadays. It’s historical with some touches/twist

[vale grail]

Even CoD WWII (2017) had its moments (not the train, fuck that shit)

[upper berry]

Vanguard had a decent campaign for its historic setting. Same with Cold War

It’s not bad but it’s good

[granite wyvern]

Very rare

[upper berry]

Mmm 🤔 not really

The 3rd party devices got sold out constantly. They sold over millions of them.

Maybe billions

[granite wyvern]

I could tell you the known cheaters on XBox BFV

[upper berry]

In one server

[granite wyvern]

If it’s that prevalent - it does not work very well.

[upper berry]

lol. On Amazon. It sold 4k+ within last 30days Aka last month of them

[granite wyvern]

What I’m saying is when I play i am top of the scoreboard anyway (so let them cheat if that’s what you believe).

[upper berry]

Not all cheaters are good.

A lot of cheaters also like to hide it

[granite wyvern]

All I know is a lot of people cry “cheat!” at people who are not.

[upper berry]

That is a big issue in gaming. In general

[vale grail]

Cold Bore was lukewarm at best, it was decent but the henious butchering of Woods and Mason along with Hudson as characters is something that sucked bootycheeccs

Vanguard was just.... christ why

[vagrant basalt]

Their is in fact none to little Cheater's on xbox

[vagrant basalt]

U act like they buy that just to cheat on a 5 year old game

[vagrant basalt]

And what are those so called 3rd party devices?

Xim4s?

Cronus?

Users that's use these devices mostly use it to use kbm anyways

Reddit/twitter and the damn cronus(on amazon) reviews would tell u that

[oak fulcrum]

Hey, I'm having 2 issues with Battlefield right now. It doesn't open on the EA app. I've tried going to the forum, but it's not letting me post on there for whatever reason. I've tried reinstalling BFV, the EA app, clearing the cache, and repairing BFV, and nothing works. I just see the tiny pop up, it loads, then a white Frostbite screen opens for a solid second before closing. Can someone here help or send me to somewhere/someone that can help?

[upper berry]

Most reviews isn’t about using MnK on console

So that’s false

[upper berry]

Cheaters will cheat on ANY game. Even the new ones cuz it’s popular

[upper berry]

Xbox and PS both have cheaters. So that’s false. Most people stay on PS4 for PS side due to PS5 blocking those devices when detected. Most cheaters on PS5 bought a PS4 for that reason.

[vagrant basalt]

"GUYS I got shit on he must be cheating" type mf

[upper berry]

I never said that

I only said there is cheaters on console to

[vagrant basalt]

Basically none

[upper berry]

You bring up English problem in a cheater topic

[vagrant basalt]

I've never ran into a cheater on any game on console

I've been playing console for 11 years
