[rich ember]

You are now.

Just stop it

[dim canopy]

you should not have said anything negative about me

[dim canopy]

i will just next time dont say anything like that

[rich ember]

I was just telling him what's up

Cause he asked

[dim canopy]

you were not

[rich ember]

Yes i was

[dim canopy]

you were not

[clear venture]

lololol

[rich ember]

Yeah i was

[solid carbon]

thats how he got banned last time

[clear venture]

1 v1 knives only. It's the only logical solution.

[sterile jolt]

Agreed

Bring back BF3 knifing

[rich ember]

Not gonna happen, ping difference would make it unplayable

[dim canopy]

you also dont have to say about that to me i am being respectful towards you also never said a word to you

[clear venture]

So he's got...THE HACKS

[urban lark]

Knives only hainan resort

[rich ember]

I'm not saying that

[urban lark]

Like the good old days

[sterile jolt]

Playing BFV made me appretiate no attachments honestly more than anything, every gun has an innate strength and weakness, every gun has a unique reload(more than 1 for some weapons such as Garand). Was really fun to experiment and max all the weapons.

[rich ember]

I really think there should be like, a basic AKM in the next battlefield. You can't put any attachments on it besides a suppressor, it has higher recoil that you can't change, but it's also like, SCAR-H levels of strong if you can aim with it.

[sterile jolt]

I think they should add some WW2 weapons because why not

[rich ember]

nah

[sterile jolt]

I want StG or PPSh

[urban lark]

It depends

Like

I like MW19 and it had some WW2 guns but at the same time I feel like they should use the modern theme for actual, modern guns

[sterile jolt]

BC2 had WW2 weapons

[clear venture]

bc2 had the thomspon and garand I think...

[sterile jolt]

Also Type 100

[rich ember]

BC2 also had the XM8.

[clear venture]

Man....I loved that game so much.

[urban lark]

We don’t get that much content in these games nowadays. I’d be underwhelmed waiting 2 months for some WW2 guns instead of what’s coming out nowadays

[clear venture]

the sound design and destruction were sooooo good

[urban lark]

There’s only a couple ww2 guns I’d make an exception for: the kar98 and the garand

[sterile jolt]

I would rather want PPSh with 71 round mag

[clear venture]

Personally I love the enfield....

[urban lark]

The enfield is pretty nice too

I’m a fan of ww1-2 bolt actions/semi auto rifles so I wouldn’t mind them being in game I guess

[sterile jolt]

Make it a 71 round mag high rpm weapon with lots of recoil

And no attachments besides maybe nydar

[clear venture]

I pretty much only played with bolt actions in bf1.

[urban lark]

Same

I only ever play recon when I play it cause the bolt actions

[urban lark]

The way I see it specializations were how they could give players attachment esque perks and bonuses without actual attachments cause of the theme

[sterile jolt]

Yeah

It was fine in BFV

I would rather want attachments in a modern game

[dim canopy]

mosin, ppsh kar98,mg42, stg and thomson, garand

[sterile jolt]

But not gunsmith

Just make it like BF4’s system

[clear venture]

the more time passes the more I appreciate bfv gameplay. Still absolutely insane how they pretty much abandoned it and added zero eastern front aspects of the war

[sterile jolt]

BF1 has more soviet weaponry than BFV

[urban lark]

The lack of eastern front content is what keeps me away from it personally speaking

I don’t like how they portrayed the war for 1, it left a bunch of potential unturned 2, and 3 just has weird gameplay design choices

[clear venture]

Making a ww2 game with no German vs Russian faction is mind boggling

[sterile jolt]

Yeah

[clear venture]

I liked how you couldn't just run around with a lmg though

[sterile jolt]

I dislike that

MMGs are useless

And LMGs had like 20 rounds

Basically assault-lite

[urban lark]

One example of weird gameplay design was how they did mmgs

The most famous machine gun of the war, the mg42, makes you prone or mount to use it, meanwhile some guy can slide around up hill with a zk and delete you

[sterile jolt]

Biggest enemy of MMG users are snipers imo

Whenever you see that glint you just need to pack it up

One positive aspect of 2042 is how balanced it is at least for infantry gameplay

[modern dune]

does anyone knows how to really fix error get device removed reason?

[clear venture]

lol idk I kinda liked how you had to go prone or mount the machine guns. but im probably in the minority

[sterile jolt]

I didn’t because it made LMGs useless

Support is my least played class because of that

Only LMG with acceptable mag size was Lewis and it was terrible unless you want to supress people

[clear venture]

i liked the fg42

[junior torrent]

Lmg should be capable of light mobility

MMG should only be stationary , prone

[sterile jolt]

FG42 is like an assault weapon 🤷

MMG shouldn’t exist at all honestly

[urban lark]

It’s not that they’re the problem so much as it is the rest of the game isn’t really following the same tactical principle if that makes sense

[fierce sonnet]

Anyone has had or has a problem where the game just doesn't launch and windows itself stops working? Ngl, I am far from having a top of the line PC, but this thing used to run battlefield V butter smooth, but now it straight up doesn't open, I am currently monitoring it on resource manager, it has 300 mb of used RAM, 0% CPU activity and everything else on the computer is crashing, even if the CPU and the RAM and GPU aren't even being used not even close to the max

[urban lark]

Which is strange because bfv removed 3d spotting and added attrition for the same tactical/teamplay reasons. But then smgs come along..

[fierce sonnet]

And now not even task manager is responding, nor the windows ui

[sterile jolt]

Some people said they made BFV issues work with downgrading their drivers

[fierce sonnet]

Interesting, like GPU drivers?

[sterile jolt]

Yes

[clear venture]

Give it a few kicks as well

[fierce sonnet]

I see, imma restart the Pc and see if I can downgrade them

[kind glen]

LMG

it's kind of one of the earliest squad support weapons

a similar situation would be like the US Stinger made from downed M1919 light versions

[sterile jolt]

I mean ingame performance

It’s like M1907 for support class

[kind glen]

it performs like a lmg

[sterile jolt]

Most other LMGs aren’t as CQC focused

[kind glen]

it isn't either, that's just how you're using it

[sterile jolt]

BAR and FG42 are like assault weapons for support class because of that imo

[sterile jolt]

High RPM and high recoil bruh, no one will use them to hit players beyond 30 meters

[kind glen]

they definitely would

[sterile jolt]

Bren or Madsen are like true LMGs

[kind glen]

that's why the BAR has a slow fire mode

[sterile jolt]

Long range weapons with little recoil

[sterile jolt]

You can with M1907 too but it’s definitely a close range weapon, it has that SMG energy

[kind glen]

use the bipod?

[sterile jolt]

Bipod doesn’t help that much honestly

[kind glen]

does if you use it

[sterile jolt]

FG42 with single fire is really decent though

[kind glen]

just do short bursts

[sterile jolt]

I tried that with 3x scope and it felt good

[sterile jolt]

Many SMGs has bipods too though

Doesn’t mean they are long range weapons

[kind glen]

name one smg with a bipod

[sterile jolt]

ZK

Type 100

[kind glen]

do they have em ingame?

[sterile jolt]

Yes

[kind glen]

I'd bet the spearholders that use those guns have never equipped a bipod

[sterile jolt]

ZK had a bipod in reality too I think

[proud moth]

FG42 is pretty much a battle rifle
made from the MG42 to fit paratrooper service to ugprade the kar98

[clear venture]

plus its a cool looking gun...

[real sonnet]

or reinstalling windows. I know dumb xD

[spare ibex]

anyone here know of any Milsim Groups?

[kind glen]

you know who also knows about milsim groups

[true stream]

Been trying like hell to get enough people together to play Hardline on PC but no luck. The game is absolutely dead. Sucks because it was a pretty decent game!

[kindred sail]

isn't there like a single european s erver running ?

[uneven hollow]

[wild jacinth]

Ppl used to play it i remember i was playing it like half a year ago.

[analog echo]

anyone need one for BF1 hmu

[ember mirage]

Battlefield 1805 when (napoleonic wars)

[ember mirage]

Bf1 and V is where its at

[junior torrent]

If only game has bot option

[iron mantle]

what the best guns for battlefield 2042

[uneven cape]

holdfast

[ember mirage]

Whats that

[kind glen]

there ARE games about 1800s wars like civil war, napoleonic, etc

[kind glen]

you won't find a big dev doing them really cause you can't run around with a SMG spraying blindly

[uneven hollow]

Also would assume it’ll be hard for them to make skins

[true stream]

I still play BF3, BF4, and BF1 often. Hardline is the only one that just gets no love anymore.

[true stream]

Yea, there is always one or two servers available but there is never anyone in them.

[livid bay]

Hardline isn't a bad game. Infact, I consider it to be one of the best in the series. It's was doomed to fail though.

Adding a cops vs. crims game into a military-based franchise was just doomed to fail

[true stream]

Yea, that's a fair point. I really enjoyed the game but it definitely wasn't traditional Battlefield, as far as setting and theme.

[ember mirage]

ah lmao

nice

[junior torrent]

Still has souls than 2042

And that's embarrassing

[placid yacht]

did anyone ever have issue with sending in-game chat message in bf, I hit enter after typing a message and poof nothing.

[kindred sail]

it might be that your chat is hidden

press h while in game to cycle through show/popup/hide

[placid yacht]

I can see the chat, but can't send messages.

[kindred sail]

lol even when you press j, k or l?

[plush void]

in BFV if i swap out an assignment that has partial progress will that progress save if i reactivate it later

[sterile jolt]

Yes

[granite wyvern]

Have to say, one of the most annoying things about BFV is you can’t set a new assignments in between rounds.

[granite wyvern]

Reported

[minor hatch]

I'm going insane trying to complete this assignment

on bf1

getting headshots with the farquar hill feels impossible dude

[plush bolt]

anyone wanna play bf1 (new to the game)

[analog echo]

im up for playing if anyone wants to

[steady orchid]

ATTENZIONE, AVVISTATO UN ESPLORATORE NEMICO 🗣️🗣️

im up are you?

[analog echo]

ya gimme a few

add me on ea

raymodd

or ingame

[plush bolt]

ok

[fallow root]

I gotta say, Heroes was totally binge-worthy, but it had its share of major flaws all the way through.

It was totally one-sided, just raking in cash without helping the community at all.

For real, Heroes could've been like Fortnite way back if the devs had actually given a hoot and tuned into what the players were saying.

Heroes at core had some solid potential, but it totally went off the rails with that pay-to-win nonsense, and that killed it in the end. They were all about pumping out weapon skins on top of skins without fixing any of the weapon balance.

I mean, folks were totally buzzing for some changes, but EA just ditched the majority of the players, no doubt.

[nimble magnet]

I know I asked this already but can I 100% get the peacekeeper solo?

[rich ember]

You can. You'll probably need some help from the BFEE people for morse code and stuff like that, but you can do it by yourself.

[nimble magnet]

Ighty thanks!

[kind glen]

it's a huge pain for something that is basically a fancy worse obrez

[supple raptor]

In Battlefield 1, the screen flickers when squeezing with a gun, is this feature turned off or do I need to press a button?

[kindred sail]

what do you mean ?

[supple raptor]

When you squeeze it on top of each other, the camera slides upwards.

[kindred sail]

would you have a video, I don't think I understand what you mean

[supple raptor]

I can't assign a video

[kindred sail]

in this chat here you mean ?

[supple raptor]

When I press and hold the fire button, the gun slides upwards, so I can say that the screen flickers.

It happens very often when you're trying to hit someone

[kindred sail]

hm

found anything similar on youtube ?

[supple raptor]

Could it be because of the gun?

[kindred sail]

maybe

[supple raptor]

Nope

[kindred sail]

on PC at least there is a screen shake option which can be adjusted

to me it sounds more like recoil

[supple raptor]

On PlayStation?

[kindred sail]

maybe

should be under gameplay

[supple raptor]

I looked there

[late atlas]

how do i fix the "you have been kicked by punkbuster" bug since punkbuster doesnt update anymore. I feel like ive dont everything

[limber bough]

https://carbonic.dk/punkbusterguide/

[solid hinge]

Trying to play BF1 but keep getting an error sayng "Detected AMD Radeon Drivers 0.0.0" even though my drivers are up to date

[kindred sail]

hgave you tried installing direct X ?

[junior depot]

Uninstall your cheats

[solid hinge]

Really hope the next battlefield goes back to ww1 or a ww2 game or more on the military side of things again like bf3-4

And with 1 character for each class not 4-3 for each class

Quite weird how 2042 was made

I don't hate or like the game it's alright just not a release of a battlefield game I was hoping to see

[tight rain]

Sounds like it’ll be more like the traditional battlefields you know

[wild jacinth]

can you guys take away that timer when ppl join

[raven seal]

i just did a top scoreboard match on bf4 and some one said gg to me refering to my clantag [ZEUS]

lmao

[urban lark]

It’s already been confirmed to be modern theme

[solid hinge]

For every new upcoming battlefield game

Will it ever go back to old military like bf3-4

And will we get any more campaign battlefield games

And will it carry on copying cod with all this sliding mechanic

[urban lark]

If it has a slide I hope the movement also has momentum and a grounded feel. Nothing confirmed on anything but modern theme and campaign

For the next game specifically

[solid hinge]

Will it actually be called bf6 this time

Or totally different like bf2042

[urban lark]

BF naming is weird and not meant to be consistent in any way

[solid hinge]

Boyfriend 6 boyfriend 2042

[urban lark]

I mean I guess BFV is 5 but I’ve heard some people say it’s a reference to v for victory day

2042 is “6” based off the naming that started with bf3 going onward

[solid hinge]

So battlefield 7

😂

[urban lark]

lol yeah probably

[raven seal]

battlefield would go hard ngl

[keen jacinth]

If they are going back to the orutes with the next game "BATTLEFIELD" would be a good title

to show a new beginning

[tight rain]

Battlefield the one

[keen jacinth]

Battlefield: A New Hope

[south radish]

From my view i do think there are 3 different names. Battlefield, Battlefield 6 or Battlefield Bad Company 3. Last one i guess depends if game has singleplayer and on the singleplayer itself

[kindred sail]

@supple raptor interesting

I'll record a video to show how it looks for me, I'm on PC though

[sterile jolt]

Nah, that's if BF2025 flops, it will be 3+4 as remakes of BF3 and 4

[sterile jolt]

It would be BC3 in name only, I don't think it makes sense to name it BC3(jets didn't existed in BC, also had less players per server than 3-4, no proning too).

They should name it BF6 or BF2033 or something imo

But I think they will name it just Battlefield

[south radish]

So if they called it bad company 3 it could not have proning? 🤷

[sterile jolt]

It wouldn't play like Bad Company

[south radish]

The game name is based on the singleplayer 🤷

Why i mentioned it in my message

[sterile jolt]

Not really

[south radish]

Also higly unlikley they will just use short name like BF6 or what ever

Battlefield is the brand

[sterile jolt]

Reboots are common nowadays

[south radish]

I don't really see what your point is 🤔

[sterile jolt]

Also concept art they shared gives me that vibe

Reboots are common to give new players a welcome, no one wants to start from 6th game of a franchise, not even for online shooters

MW19 reboot sold more than OG MW1-2-3 combined I think

Because reboots exists to welcome people who heard about how good X game is but didn't played them back then

Same case with remakes honestly

[south radish]

Then in your opinion why did they name those 2 games bad company? 🤔

[sterile jolt]

I dunno

Bad Company games has their own unique rules and gameplay aside from mainline BF games though

They were created for consoles first and foremost unlike other BF games

[south radish]

No point being argumentative just to be argumentative. Those two game names are based on their singleplayer

[sterile jolt]

Like I said, if they call it Bad Company 3 but it plays like BF3-4-2042 instead of BC1-2 then what's the point?

Call it something else at that point

[south radish]

If they call it bad company 3 then it will have singleplayer and that singleplayer will be obviously connected too 1 and 2

[sterile jolt]

Yes

But I don't think DICE can make a good BC3 lol

It would be like 2042's launch humor

[south radish]

Who knows, helps being a bit positive

[sterile jolt]

I'm positive for the game

[supple raptor]

Which gun should I buy because of the gun?

[south radish]

2042 didn't have a great launch and disapointed many for sure, but i do think they have done a good job making the game better. Still have some mehhh flaws ofc. I doubt we will see that bad launch state again from a Battlefield game

[kindred sail]

I'd try other weapons as well

[kindred sail]

never say never 🤣

[south radish]

I mean, true. But i would be suprised if it happened again really, specially for the next game

[sterile jolt]

But I don't think they should desecrate the name of a dead subseries for cheap nostalgia bait 🤷 Imagine if BF2042 was named BF4: 2 or BF2142: 0 or something

[south radish]

They will name what ever they will name it, just wanted to share what is most likley from my view

[sterile jolt]

I see

I think it will be just Battlefield like I said

I would rather want them to name it BF6 though

I dislike reboots, they are confusing people

[south radish]

Yep it could be just that, we will figure that out when the time comes

[south radish]

Do you mean they will straight up just call it BF6 or do you mean Battlefield 6 you just typed short version?

I am quite confident we will never see a short name like that as title for the games if that is what you saying

[kindred sail]

tbh if you go with the naming next bf should be bf 7

since 2042 was 6

but it might be called bf modern warfare or some shit

[sterile jolt]

Oh I meant Battlefield 6

[sterile jolt]

Battlefield Battle Ops

[south radish]

Technically it would be called battlefield 12 This excludes hardline and heroes as they aren't in my eyes really that part of the franchise if that makes sense

[south radish]

Yeah kind of figured but wanted to ask 😛

[sterile jolt]

Yeah

Almost all ''non mainline'' games such as 2142, Bad Company etc. are practically mainline anyways

[kindred sail]

well yeah, name is whatever it's what they'll deliver which matters

[sterile jolt]

If they deliver BF4.5 people will be more than happy imo

[south radish]

It can be anything really, but we all know it will have the Battlefield part in it

[kindred sail]

would be funny if they'd fail, recently checked the sales numbers for bf games and going from 21 mil sold copies for bf 1 to 7 mil and eventually 5 mil for 2042 it must have shocked the leadership

[south radish]

Yeah i wouldn't call those spinoffs like hardline and heroes

[sterile jolt]

If next BF fails I think they will just remake old games lol

For easy moneygrab

[south radish]

Think it would be a bit weird naming like that maybe, but it would give some expectations i guess. Although they say they going back to core 3/4 i do think there will be a lot of changes/upgrades outside that 🤔

[kindred sail]

they'll fail those hard and imagine the skins...

remaking with the current leadership, big no no

[sterile jolt]

I meant the content dude, not the name 😭

[south radish]

Oh

[sterile jolt]

I think if it plays like a modern version of BF4 people will be more than happy

[sterile jolt]

Dead Space Remake was good

[kindred sail]

well that's SP, probably less likely to make it fail

something tells me though is that some part will stir up controversy

[south radish]

Yeah for sure, and i think they got that if you read the ign article. I kind of consider 2042 now like a modern version of 4 but it still has some of the strange and weird changes that too me dont make sense.

[sterile jolt]

My biggest gripe with 2042 are performance and mouse input issue

It still runs bad, mouse input is still not fixed

Guns also sound bad compared to other BF games imo

They really need to make them sound good again

[south radish]

Yeah i hear people complain about the input, personally i never really noticed it. But maybe that is linked to lower fps? 🤷

If playing 128p you do need somewhat beafy cpu for sure

Cant play with potato 😛

[kindred sail]

@sterile jolt wish those would be the only ones

[sterile jolt]

It's random, my bullets sometimes just don't hit the enemy even when I'm unloading a mag

[kindred sail]

imo maps and the game feel are the worst, plus the specialists, where you see 20 mckay in a game

[sterile jolt]

Specialists wouldn't be that bad if they had proper military gear imo

Specialists at the current state plays like BFV's combat roles

They should bring that feature back in BF6 though

And give more than 2 combat roles per class

[south radish]

Some of the guns are ok sounding but not really great. Most of this probably comes down to how they are processed and end up sounding kind of artificial in 2042. 5 overall had the best audio in the frenchise soo far, they even had interior recording of weapons making them sounding more real when fired in interiors. 5 also sounds much better and sound much less artificial. Talking about first person sound, third person and distance sound decent i'd say

[kindred sail]

I wish I could hear tanks in bf V, they are more silent than a gun prone in grass

[supple raptor]

.

[sterile jolt]

I don't think it's just that, when I played with 416 and M16 in 2042 they felt like BF3 weapons

I think they cheaped out on using real gun sounds or something

416 and M16 feels really good to shoot

[south radish]

M416 and M16 is one of the guns in 2042 that sounds the most artifical too me

I disliked when you have attached the m320 too them they use the launcher iron sight rather than just crosshair, just having cross hair and slight zoom when you right click feels really good

[sterile jolt]

Maybe that's the case but they sound like how they were in BF3 which is a plus in my book

[south radish]

Tbh i dont think they sound the same

[kindred sail]

I think they had no time for new sounds

[south radish]

There is new sounds though

[kindred sail]

and just changed some values here and there

audio in 2042 sounds muffled

[south radish]

I wouldn't call it muffled but kind of artificial for first person sounds

This also depends on some of the guns too ofc

[kindred sail]

I still play bf 3 and the audio there is very crisp

imo 2042 is inferior to the previous titles

[kind glen]

well it has bot battles, that makes it automatically superior to bf3

whcih also had quicktime events, one of the great sins of gaming

one that can not be forgiven

[kindred sail]

true bots made a comeback , reminds me of bf 2

at least you can play the game modes that are less populated

[kind glen]

bf3 and 4 just copied 2's setting, so no original ideas just tunnels and new maps

bf1 had original ideas but no bots

the story was ok for bf1 and 5

[kind glen]

I was trying to type something
and instead it like... changed the visual mode of discord and time stamped everything and made it ugly

ok there we go

it was compact mode

aka shit mode

[junior depot]

Was there UCAV in bf2?

[kindred sail]

If my memory serves me right the commander had it

so there was the UAV, can't find anything regarding UCAV, that was in bf 4

[teal fractal]

It was proven to be in but its fixed now more or less

I had an issue with input in 2042 once but ironically had the exact same issue on bf1 so i knew how to fix it

[south radish]

What was the issue? 🤔

[teal fractal]

In my case my game settings just kept corrupting lol

I made a backup of my settings folder

I just replaced the settings folder and it fixed it for me

[south radish]

Ah i see

Strange 🤔

[teal fractal]

But i dont think its the same issue others have had

[south radish]

Ah

Personally i haven't noticed anything too bad. Maybe i have but i have bad memory sooo

Probably would have remembered though if it was big problem too me

[teal fractal]

Idk mouse bugs usually come with some other issues aswell, textures not loading properly, weird render scaling issues, weird stutters and freezes

I forced myself to play bf1 like that for the longest time til i just tested replacing my settings folder with my friends settings folder

[south radish]

I see, i see. Could be something weird happening

[teal fractal]

https://youtu.be/ie1B1H20X1Y?si=kuBUJ-urYlQO-2Au 3:10 when it was supposedly an issue for everyone though

But that was then, like 2-3 years ago

I havent seen anyone complain about it in the past 1-2 years

And the only people that claim it to be an issue havent even touched the game in like 3 years+

[frozen rune]

The simple feeling of coming home by those freezing temperatures, launching BF3 and having a nice meal on the way

[vernal cobalt]

i need some intelligent people to play bf5

[frozen rune]

I just like 3 more

Hmm i'll try to anwser that with bullet points :

• better gunplay (personal opinion)
• better maps (DLC included)
• better pace/speed of combat
• no hitbox breaking "movement" (zouzou/rouzou and all that)
• better balance overall
• less content but every weapon feels more unique, each have their own gimmick/pattern
• less populated servers therefore less "abusers" (there are still there but in a different way)

BF4 has huge improvements, levelution, better QoL, settings to tweak and much more but... BF3 just feels right, y'know

I'm also burnt out from BF4, played it way too much with a drastic "tryhard" mentality so i'm kinda done and can't enjoy it no more

still a fantastic game nonetheless

[sterile jolt]

Wish we got more BF3 maps in 2042, Noshahr Canals is fantastic but I would've loved to see Metro and Davamand Peak

[frozen rune]

I don't think old maps works well with the new pacing of the combat and all the insane gadget and tools we have to practically...break the map flow. The ones we have on 2042 right now shows how good this old maps are but also how terribly they play with the new gameplay. BF3 maps (for the most part) are a testament of good design overall, everything seems well thought, from red zones, boundaries, objectives placement, flow, pacing, cover for infantry, open area for vehicles and on and on

The fact that the old maps plays somewhat better than strictly newer ones even with the "fresh/improved" gameplay speaks volumes

[sterile jolt]

Because it was designed for 64 players

[frozen rune]

Also we all know now that Portal and everything around it was a missed opportunity

[sterile jolt]

First sector of noshahr has lots of cover, 90% of the 2042 maps are empty and only in last sector you will have cover

[frozen rune]

Yep that too

[sterile jolt]

Agreed

[frozen rune]

it is just the better number, the best player count

[sterile jolt]

I'm not necessarily against more players but 128 players are demanding for my PC lol, they should instead go for 80 or something if they want to have another XL or Chaos version of the maps they are going to have

[frozen rune]

I also don't think 128p is bad per say, it is just that in the case of 2042, things didn't worked out so I'd rather take the safe bet and go back to what Battlefield can do best : a 64p experience that is solid from the ground up

and maybe they can do some limited events where the player count is higher like let's say Rush XL comes back and instead of 64p, it's like 80 or something

But I want the core experience "untainted" if I'm being honest, we can have silly fun on temporary or limited playlists maybe

ahah

if you can get it for cheap DLC included, you're in for a treat

server population is somewhat low, depending on region and timezone but there are the usual full CQ/Rush servers

oh, you can check server browser same way as BF4 through Battlelog so that way, you know when to hop in

just make sure to click on the server, check the player list and see if it's real players or bots/seeds

[junior torrent]

its pointless

DLC is mostly dead

[kindred sail]

I'd still get the full premium on a sale if I wouldn't have it, difference is 1-2 bucks and there are a couple of servers that have the full rotation

and if 1-2 bucks are big money then you shouldn't buy it at all

[wild jacinth]

did teh servers for bfv just crash?

maintenance?

[kindred sail]

on pc or console?

[wild jacinth]

on pc well now i just connected back

[kindred sail]

I encounter the no connection thing here and there

especially when starting the game

[wild jacinth]

thats not good

[junior torrent]

Screw battlelog

Just wait for WR instead

[kindred sail]

had an even worst issue in bf 1 from april to october, where I kept getting the error ''you have lost the connection to the session''

kept contacting support once a week 1

eventually the issue was gone after the new EAAC

tried my secondary account on the same pc and laptop and it worked fine

maybe it's an issue with older accounts can't say but I'm glad I can play bf 1 on official servers again

funny enough I wasn't losing connection to custom servers though

[obtuse kite]

stupid question but I'm not at my PC so I can't check
when do you unlock the prototype Thomson in BF1

annihilator or whatever it's called

[kindred sail]

100 kills with primary weapons as Assault
25 kills with sidearms as Assault
Storm
50 kills with the Annihilator Trench
10 kills with the Sickle

[teal fractal]

yeah its such a turn off for me in bf4

that you have to put in a lot of effort to play decently

idk just abusing glitches, a lot of people using filters on top of the game and whatnot its pretty cheesy to play at high level

bf1 for me is my favorite, you dont really need to try extremely hard to do really well and its less of a button smash game, more tactical in a sense just that gunfights kinda lack for me

[teal fractal]

100% agreed

[obtuse kite]

alr so you get it fairly early
it's stats seems pretty good and I love the way it looks so I'll probably main it w the patrol carbine and the uh

frommor stop?

frommer stop

[thorn grotto]

BRO

SOME FUCKING TANK WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAP HOLDING ALL SITES AND MY SPAWN

IT DESTOYED MY PLANE LIKE 6 TIMES

AND I DONT EVEN HAVE TIME TO GET IN POSITION TO SHOOT

AND THROWING BOMBS IS OUT OF THE EQUATION

HOW TF DO U DEAL WITH THESE NERDS

[solid hinge]

git gud

[digital minnow]

How you limit FPS from the main menu?

[teal fractal]

Leave game

If teams are heavily unbalanced then even a giga cracked player cant pull back from it

[frozen rune]

BF1 was my least played BF as a whole, never got to like the game. It sure as hell is pretty and sound good, you can feel the love pouring from every corner of it. But the gameplay overall, the introduction of some of the worst ideas of the franchise (of a shooter even) made me not stay long. I did play it for 400h still, because it is Battlefield after all but man..

And I know I'm in the minority for that opinion

[burnt quartz]

I was just on BF1 and even though I have played that game for a long time the trenches on River Somme will always give me good jumpscares

[teal fractal]

Ye some mechanics are pretty bad

[burnt quartz]

Like what

[teal fractal]

Sweetspot, new players/bad players have some extra assists, auto balance is pretty bad, fuck gas, climbing is bugged, a lot of revive bugs

[burnt quartz]

i cant deny that besides the gas

I love the gas and the mask mechanic

[teal fractal]

Then you cant melee elite kits at times it just bounces back on you

[teal fractal]

Why

“I love being disorted by my own teammates”

[burnt quartz]

Makes it feel more unique game

Bf5 and 2042 are just so bland, Battlefield 1 at least had its own unique mechanics going for it and its not like it is difficult to press t for the gas mask

[teal fractal]

Battlefield 1 ingeneral has a really bad issue with gadget/nade spam

Thats why i dont like the gunfights in 1

You can shoot at a person and he wont shoot back he just spams nades on you

[burnt quartz]

I just dont like games after Battlefield 1 because 5 is just a more arcade like version of it and 2042 is 2042

2042 is only good if you dont look at it like a battlefield series game

[teal fractal]

Either way annoying youre without ads and have garbage line of sight lol

Its not even a good nade its just purely annoying

[burnt quartz]

The nades dont even go off fast enough to where you cant get away from them though

[teal fractal]

Every 3iq npc spams it like their life depends on it

[burnt quartz]

A nade could be infront of me and i could get away fast enough without getting one hit by it

[teal fractal]

Depends on nade

And distance

[burnt quartz]

If someone is close enough to be in a gun fight you can see the symbol and get away where it wont be the grenade that kills you

[teal fractal]

Frag grenades you cant really get away from, inc nades you cant get away from, impact you cant get away from

At you cant get away from specifc range

[burnt quartz]

You think people just go in and see someone point blank and throw a grenade at them?

[teal fractal]

Also low levels have magnetic nades lol

[burnt quartz]

what

[teal fractal]

Basically nades are tracking enemies/ leaning more towards at where the enemies are

Its assisted

[burnt quartz]

that explains a lot

[teal fractal]

It could be clearly missing and it still chases after you or has a weird random drop

[burnt quartz]

I havent had that happen to the point ive noticed it

[teal fractal]

Also low levels have shorter times til it explodes

I have 2k hours in bf1 ive played too much of it

Theres so much garbage in that game

Majority of the maps arent very well balanced even

[burnt quartz]

You see the garbage in that game though and look at what comes after it and it is even worse

[teal fractal]

Theres ideally 3 maps that have good balance/ are easy to balance

[teal fractal]

I think 5 would play out a lot better with moderated community servers

[burnt quartz]

That and they should have made it more a step away from one

[teal fractal]

2042 is better just boring to play because everyones either new to fps or new to battlefield

[burnt quartz]

2042 would be amazing if they didnt have 2 good maps with it

[teal fractal]

Bf1 also has only 3-4 good maps lol

A lot of battlefield maps suck depending on mode

[burnt quartz]

Have you tried any 2042 map and not seen a shit ton of snipers all camped in the back?

[teal fractal]

No

[burnt quartz]

2042 out of all of the alive Battlefield games has the issue the worst

[quick pollen]

so real

they really flubbed the map selection

but the game is so good

satisfying vehicle combat, clean gunplay, good equipment variety

wingsuit in a tornado is also just sexy

[teal fractal]

The maps are okay imo just boring, takes 0 mastery

[teal fractal]

ye

[burnt quartz]

I never really was into battlefield for any of that competitive mastery shit, you have COD for that and COD is horrid

New COD is horrid

[quick pollen]

battlefield 3 and 4 have it beat in map selection for sure

there's like 2 maps in 2042 that compare to the classics

[burnt quartz]

Orbital is the best map

[teal fractal]

Competitive mastery shit? Lol

[quick pollen]

Haven is really good

[burnt quartz]

I just play it for stupid fun

[teal fractal]

Ye

[burnt quartz]

I never understood people taking Battlefield serious

[quick pollen]

Exposure as well

Exposure is prob my favorite

[teal fractal]

No one does just people play with their mind in it

[quick pollen]

hourglass is alright

[burnt quartz]

A lot of people sadly do and especially in 2042

[teal fractal]

• theres comp games in older battlefield games

[burnt quartz]

Hourglass makes me want to die

[quick pollen]

kaleidoscope is alright

[burnt quartz]

Thats cool I just never understood why 🤣

[teal fractal]

4 was very competitive, bad company 2 still hosts competitive events

[quick pollen]

breakaway and renewal are also decent

orbital is mid IMO

[teal fractal]

Theres also a pro scene in bf lol

[burnt quartz]

There is a pro scene in every game

[sterile jolt]

V is upgrade

[teal fractal]

Because they like to play it with their mind in it and perform good? Lol

[burnt quartz]

It just makes me laugh at a lot of games because it looks stupid

[teal fractal]

Why

[quick pollen]

also trying really hard in videogames is fun when you're an adult and don't get upset about the results after

people who shit on others for taking a match seriously usually just absolutely suck ass at the game

respectfully

[burnt quartz]

Yeah exactly, the issue is the people who take it competitive and then get pissed when they lose

[teal fractal]

Good positioning, using good angles, good timing and correct spacing is stupid?

[sterile jolt]

I hate those 2

I like Spearhead, Redacted and Reclaimed most

[burnt quartz]

Redacted is horrid

[teal fractal]

Id agree for 5 and 4 those are 3iq buttonsmash games but bf1 high level gameplay is nothing like that

[quick pollen]

spearhead is just kinda

forgettable

[teal fractal]

Bf2042 isnt like that either its also more tactical and slower

[sterile jolt]

BF1 high level gameplay is camping, when you take out movement you won't have offensive options besides camping

[teal fractal]

It isnt

[burnt quartz]

sitting in the trench with a shotgun is just cheap

[quick pollen]

yeah gonna have to +1 you on this

"spam down a doorway" simulator

but not in a fun way like Metro

in a shit way

[sterile jolt]

Look at MW19 before people figured out how slide cancelling works, game went from camper's CoD to movement god's CoD

[quick pollen]

i been playing CoD/battlefield since like 2009 and I have NEVER understood people complaining about camping

[sterile jolt]

If you take out movement, you won't have offensive options to engage with the enemies, people who holds the angles will win 90% of the time

[teal fractal]

Whay

[quick pollen]

if you refuse to stay in one place for any reason, tactical or otherwise, you're kind of a moron

[teal fractal]

HAHAHHA

how do you not have offensive options

[burnt quartz]

It gets annoying having to watch your feet for people shooting up the bung hole laying down

[teal fractal]

You can legit push up and move forward using objects

[quick pollen]

that's why you check corners and your surroundings which is a basic principle of any remotely competitive shooter game

[teal fractal]

Or retreat and take better angles

Theres so many options for kills

[quick pollen]

i've never not checked my corners

it's really basic

[teal fractal]

Look at any high kill cq game from any actual good player

[quick pollen]

like day one skills

[teal fractal]

No one is camping

[burnt quartz]

No one camps, they always just go into the noob lobbies and get Youtube clips to post online 🤣

[teal fractal]

No

[sterile jolt]

Only skill gap in BF1 is map/game knowledge, once you get to learn it there are no other skills to develop, yeah you can learn power positions in maps and flanking routes but that's it

[burnt quartz]

Absolutely false

[sterile jolt]

You can't even do basic jumpshots in BF1 afaik

[teal fractal]

Im one of the highest kpm players in eu and i specifically only play harder lobbies lol

[teal fractal]

Why would you do that lol its corny as hell

When your gameplay revolves around buttonsmashing its pretty braindead

[burnt quartz]

He feels like a badass when he can do that and say "gg close game" after you win

[teal fractal]

Takes 0 thought

[sterile jolt]

Buttonmashing is braindead, that's why 90% of the players are filtered by it

[quick pollen]

how does one buttonsmash in battlefield

[sterile jolt]

It's literally skill gap

[quick pollen]

define this for me

[burnt quartz]

im also curious

[teal fractal]

Hella skill cap 💀

Click more buttons

0 thought for positioning just spam movement and win

[sterile jolt]

More buttons to give you more options, such as sliding, back proning, manual leaning, snaking etc.

[burnt quartz]

we are talking about keyboard right?

[sterile jolt]

Positioning is also important in BFV

[quick pollen]

still have no idea how one button mashes in a shooter game

that's fighting game terminology

what like hipfiring???

[teal fractal]

https://youtu.be/zo1Dp5nV-As?si=qDVGtaSrusH2iyUV

Imagine prefering this

Corny as hell lol

Legit takes 0 skill aswell

[burnt quartz]

Thats jsut being a cod bro

[quick pollen]

why would anyone play warzone to begin with

if you are playing warzone you deserve to get shit on by a flying nicki minaj

trash ass game 😂

[teal fractal]

Not really

But yeah

More important compared to a lot of cods lol

[quick pollen]

only good battle royale there EVER was, Blackout

the rest suck ass

Fortnite was okay for like the first 6 months too

[burnt quartz]

Battlefield 5's most important part is how long you can spam bombs on people for kills in a plane

[sterile jolt]

Jumpshots are positioning, you can't initiate jumpshot mid fight and expect to win, look at how Nicki jumpshots from cover to mess up with the enemy line of sights

[teal fractal]

You can spam slide and just escape mostly every gunfight with barely any damage in 5

Idk garbage mindset to make bad positioning unpunishing

[burnt quartz]

Jumpshots are a good way for 9 year olds to feel cool in shooters, it doesnt take skill to pick up

[sterile jolt]

Sliding isn't any faster than running in BFV

[teal fractal]

Yes

[burnt quartz]

Its harder to hit a slider dumbass

[teal fractal]

But you can cheese out of gunfights with it

[sterile jolt]

Not really, BF3 had jumpshotting, 4 had it, it's the BF1 that had it nerfed

[teal fractal]

Imo bad positioning shouldnt be fixable with insane movement

[sterile jolt]

Only in 5 you could shoot mid jump though, in 3-4-1 you had to stop to shoot

[quick pollen]

you wouldn't last 3 minutes in a Quake III lobby 😂

[teal fractal]

Ye i woudlnt

[quick pollen]

insane movement in an arena shooter is great if done tastefully

like rocket jumping in team fortress

[teal fractal]

Agreed

[quick pollen]

that warzone clip looks like absolute shit

[teal fractal]

But those are maps revolved around good movement

So it takes some actual thought to play it

But those same movement based players will just get bamboozled in a tactical fps game so lol

I see it so much in bf1 where theres some people trying to play it like its cod

Just to get 2kpm at below 1kd

[quick pollen]

i always see people talk about bf1 in here is that like the consensus best game in the franchise?

in terms of what's playable in 2025

[burnt quartz]

Its just what comes after it is shit

[quick pollen]

with active players not too antequated like a BC2

[teal fractal]

It was voted by community to be the best bf game in the series

[quick pollen]

I see

[teal fractal]

So ig it would make sense

[quick pollen]

I don't have many hours on it but I still remember being very impressed

I gotta redownload it

[teal fractal]

Bf1 also has the most active community atm

Bf3-bf4 is pretty dead

Let alone bc2

[burnt quartz]

I think what holds up for Bf1 is the graphics

[teal fractal]

Bf5 and 42 are kinda dead on their community purely because imo they didnt really support communities the same way

No one chats in 5 for example incomparison to 1

[quick pollen]

42 you'll still get a full server in any mode during reasonable hours

it's just the first half of it might be full of bots

but they fill up

[teal fractal]

42 removed enemy chat all together

[quick pollen]

even 128 players

[burnt quartz]

that pisses me off

[teal fractal]

Then community servers arent a thing anymore

[sterile jolt]

You can enable it via settings

[teal fractal]

Actually?

[sterile jolt]

Yeah

[teal fractal]

Well either way no one prolly uses it lol

[sterile jolt]

Movement is good if done tastefully*

V's movement is tasteful imo, 2042's is lacking in comparison to V but still has nice ideas(momentum based sliding)

I dislike BO6 though, dolphin diving is respawn button 90% of the time

[tropic vortex]

Too sweaty

[sterile jolt]

I wouldn't had that many issues with it if I could just dropshot after running, but despite 1326 options you can't assign different keybinds to prone and dolphin diving at the same time, it just doesn't work

[frozen rune]

Damn, you guys have been going at it after my initial message lol

[sterile jolt]

Dropshotting is useful and consistent 100% of the time unlike dolphin diving

[frozen rune]

I wish we could go back to that era of shooters where there was only ONE sprint speed

I hate TacSprint with all my heart in every game

[tropic vortex]

It's cheap and rarely see that in warzone

[frozen rune]

I wouldn't mind sliding like in 2042, something simple and effective. The BFV one is really good but abusable too often, the BF1 is trash...literal dead slide and breaks any momentum (they nerfed it too much)

and I'd prefer not to have all the shenanigans from COD, slide canceling and all (while it's good, it's just too much imo)

There is a reason why I love BF3, it is the simplicity at first glance of its very mechanics but then you create your own skillgap by mastering them

BF3 was the perfect pace, speed and movement overall. You could maybe add a slide but that's it...

[burnt quartz]

Battlefield Mobile was the best one

[frozen rune]

Never got to play it, how was it ?

[burnt quartz]

Oh god it was shitty

[frozen rune]

[tropic vortex]

All mobile games are

[burnt quartz]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTEiJSO5dO8

[frozen rune]

Yeah...never been a mobile gamer. Never really been a mobile person either, I hate spending time on my phone lol

[burnt quartz]

My phone is only for FLAC files and messaging with the occasional Youtube video

[quick pollen]

CoD MWIII on the Nintendo DS was a banger

[frozen rune]

oof, that looks ...rough to say the least

[sterile jolt]

Dropshotting is more useful in close quarters, that's why you won't see it in warzone, jumpshotting is more useful in mid range, sliding is useful in everywhere, dolphin diving is only useful to get into cover but you can just slide to do that instead

[burnt quartz]

yeah...

[tropic vortex]

Nah I did play b06 free trial and it was nonstop sliding everywhere

[burnt quartz]

Sliding is everywhere in BO6

[tropic vortex]

Jumping and all that

Dropshotting not so much

[sterile jolt]

Because they nerfed it with messing the keybinds

99% of the time you are running when you encounter an enemy that's why it's harder to dropshot

You can accidentally dolphin dive when you want to dropshot too

Which is basically a respawn button

Dolphin diving is only useful when you use it like BFV's back proning

[frozen rune]

I'm kinda hoping that we don't see "omni movement" coming to BF in the near future

[sterile jolt]

I want to see some aspects of it, such as freeform running

Not the entire package though

And definitely not dolphin diving

[frozen rune]

multidirectional sprinting ? hmm

that could work but that could also brings some hitboxes issues

[burnt quartz]

Karaoke exists

Im not sure how you would do that with a gun in hand but it is a thing

[frozen rune]

like a case of BF4 zouzou/rouzou and all that issues lol

also what about the strafe speeds ? are they impacted by the omni movement ?

I didn't played BO6, can't really tell besides watching videos

[sterile jolt]

Strafe speeds should be effected by weapon attachments imo

No it's not

Strafe speeds are linked to weapon type and attachments

[frozen rune]

can't you essentially Q/D spam while sprinting in a form of "strafing"

without ADS i mean

[sterile jolt]

Q/D spam?

[frozen rune]

oops french keyboard

left/right

[sterile jolt]

Oh okay

[frozen rune]

[sterile jolt]

You can't shoot while you are doing that so I don't think it would be useful

BO6 doesn't have ''run & gun'' perk for a good reason

It would break the game because people would abuse the sprinting speed to hipfire

[frozen rune]

Yeah I was thinking that

I saw it as a superior form of peaking angles/corners by spaming left/right while sprinting, gathering the info about the enemy whereabouts and then going into ads > kill

[sterile jolt]

I mostly just jump the angles and ADS lol

[frozen rune]

was about to say, in a way of replacing the usual jump peek lol

did COD kept the lil' bunny hop from 2019 ?

in a way, very similar to what we have now in 2042

[sterile jolt]

I don't think so

People invented the term g-slide though lol

You can jump and then slide which will give you a huge speed and momentum

Especially useful in Zombies

[frozen rune]

I'm sure I saw Shotzzy break some ankles with it

lol

[vale grail]

g slide? bro that shit existed since HL1's GS engine.

[unique idol]

battlefield 4 directx error getdeviceremovedreason
Any idea how to fix this?

[violet jay]

I was just on YouTube watching a video from Hinachi about what his next bf will probably be like
and there was a moment when he said that supposedly the next game in the franchise won't have that mechanic that is in 2042 in which when you run out of ammo clips, whoever plays on PC for example, just press "t" and change but in the next won't have that
but he said that next bf will apparently have the slide but won't have a tactical race
and so it's something that makes me discouraged from playing because it doesn't have the tactical race at least
and that's why developers should listen to the community more because without players buying the game, the company goes bankrupt

[solid carbon]

[frozen rune]

PlusSystem won't be missed

TacSprint can be gone too, I wouldn't mind

the only real way to find out is by partaking the playtests

[sterile jolt]

I dislike tactical sprint, there should be only 1 sprint speed

Plus system should stay imo but I'm glad ammo types won't exist, all the weapons should just have ''standard issue'' type

Tac sprint makes no sense in 2042 anyways, in CoD you can sprint forever but you can tac sprint for a short duration. In 2042 you can both sprint and tac sprint forever so it makes 0 sense.

[violet jay]

I understand your indignation but the point is that developers must please the majority of the community and this includes players who like mechanics that exist in 2042 and mechanics that don't exist

I particularly like the 128 players and the mechanic of running as much as I want with the gun raised (tactical running) because it makes the player's life a lot quicker because if you look at it in reality, if there is only the "standard" run with the gun lowered , you'll see that it gets "tiring"

and in 2042 for example, there is the sliding mechanic but the bad thing is that there is no option to deactivate this mechanic and I say this because there are times when you are in the middle of the conflict and you press to CROUCH but your soldier ends up sliding and you die " for free"

[zealous juniper]

🤳

[sterile jolt]

They can keep the animation but I still dislike having 2 sprint speeds, I don't have an issue with the animation but practicality. There should be only 1 sprint speed imo. 128 players aren't coming back imo. Too demanding for the engine. I think they should instead try 96 or 80 players for XL or Chaos versions of the maps though.

[rose siren]

I wonder since they’re going back to 64p they’ll use the older engine anyways.

[frozen rune]

[violet jay]

I'm sad that there probably won't even be a separate mode for 128 in the next game because only 64 is already a thing of the past and there's no problem with having more than 100 players in the match if they make a well-optimized game, like Warzone for example. there to "prove" because there are almost 200 players per game

[violet jay]

Yeah.. from what I heard in the news, the developers are going to return to the essence of the game that was BF 3 and 4 but I'm sure it will be a BF 4 with improved graphics

[rose siren]

Ok while that sounds unanimously exciting, I hope they’ll take liberties from bfv too I like some of the mechanics there.

[sterile jolt]

2042's maps are horrid because they were designed around 128 players, they thought having 2-3 central ''engagement zones'' in conquest would be enough to keep people interested in it but result is a barren wasteland between those engagement zones with nothing in it. 90% of the maps are like Discarded(worst map in the game imo).

Maybe if it ran better on my PC my opinion would differ but no reason to do big number for the sake of big number. I want to play a game that plays well from weapons to classes to map design.

[rose quail]

turns out dropping vehicles is a thing

@sterile jolt

[rose quail]

you should just pick up fortnite

[sterile jolt]

Isn't Fortnite the game that allows more than 100+ players? Next BF won't have 128 that's for sure.

[zealous juniper]

I've been playing Battlefield 4 for over a year now. The PP-2000 is pretty sweet.

[rose quail]

yeah it's mostly filled with kiddos tho : ) so it's not the same kind of community

[rose quail]

in 2042 you can hipfire from like 30m away with a 6 ft cone with the pp2000

[sterile jolt]

Are you underage?

Vince Zampella himself said they wanted to keep it at 64 players just to make the maps more dense and less spaced out. Literally one of the few official info we have about the next BF, alongside return of proper class system and modern setting.

[rose quail]

@sterile jolt i love our class system lol what do you not like about it? and can you define modern settings? also whotf is wince zampella? and did he say ONLY or also orrrrr what. Are they creating 128 maps too? maybe 64 map versions AND 128 versions? maybe a rush version who knows. thoughts?

[sterile jolt]

He said specialists won't return, it will be a proper class system like any BF before 2042. He said they are open to 128 players idea but they are designing the game around 64 players rather than 128, maps will be more dense with less empty space between flags. Zampella is an intern at EA, he just started making video games, no idea why they decided to use him as the face of new BF though

[rose quail]

maybe he just wasn't supposed to talk about it 😛 @sterile jolt

[violet jay]

I put your answer in the translator and when I read the name of the map you mentioned, at first I didn't understand what you were referring to so I had to Google "name of the map you mentioned bf 2042" and then yes I saw it it was the rubble and man.. this is one of my favorite maps for the simple fact that at the end of the game, a soundtrack plays which in my opinion is very good but I also agree with you that there is no point in making maps large if most of the space is empty, especially because of the rubble, for example, when you are on foot running towards a flag, depending on where you are, you don't even have any object to use as cover

#game-news message ACTUAL IFVS LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO

[solid carbon]

wrong channel

[uneven hollow]

Tf is a IFVS

Sounds like some #battlefield-2042 shit

Nvm thought this was general

[vale grail]

'but but the new age demographic that doesn't exist that cried about the games before' I'm more burnt than blackened toast with all that corp bullshit too mate. I replayed 2042 recently and it sucks harder than a Dyson vacuum. Only saving grace was the concept of being able to swap attachments and ammo types in real time. The transports are open canopy with no front armour making them fucking useless, the vehicles melt like candyfloss in water and by god help you if you say something wrong in the text/voice chat because 'we're a diverse gaming group that doesn't discriminate' despite being willing to ban anyone who so much as says a 'bad word' like it's a pre-school.

[vale grail]

buy cod? There's more than 90% of features missing in that game, it's not even a game but an overhyped tech demo at best.

[solid hinge]

Cod is sweaty and shit

They literally lost 50% of the player base in 1 month

In October 2024 there were above 300k players then in December 2024 they lost 145k players

[tropic vortex]

Yeah they got rid of all the hackers bud

[solid hinge]

Good thing very good thing

Here's a side-by-side loadout example with the M3A3 Bradley that highlights the difference between Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield Portal variants.

As a reminder, you can expect this to take place with Update 8.4 on January 21st!

[chilly flax]

its soo much better to play without sliding in bf4 compared to bf2025

[sterile current]

I’m playing battlefield 5 like it’s Battlefront 2 and good news it’s 100% viable.

[mellow verge]

lol

[sterile jolt]

People are bringing wonder weapons to warzone now lol

[tropic vortex]

I see warzone as some type of hangout full of dumb players with plenty of funny moments

[keen jacinth]

imagine battlefield with the cod scorestreak system

[livid bay]

So BfV but everybody gets the squad leader system?

[keen jacinth]

ye

[sterile current]

What about a battlefield with the battlefront 2 third person toggle?

[proper hawk]

Theres a new trailer for BF2MC revival but I don’t know where to post it

https://youtu.be/PwT3Rby1afE

[limber bough]

Surely EA wouldn't send a cease and desist to em

[frozen rune]

any FPS without sliding is superior in my book

[chilly flax]

true

but doubt the next bf will be without it

[frozen rune]

yeah

[viscid skiff]

ISTG if the next bf doesn't have a permanent hardcore mode imma be so mad

and night maps

[frozen rune]

from the investor's clips we did get, it seems to build on 2042's movement system

at least that the feeling I am getting

Still a year to go so a lot can change in the meantime

In Update 8.4, you'll find a new XP event that recognizes the act of taking out another jet while airborne after leaving your aircraft.

You'll receive 1337 XP and the "Fractal Reasoning" Playcard.

This marks the first time the RendeZook has been officially recognized as an XP event in a Battlefield game!

It goes to show that it starts with you when it comes to Battlefield - even the moments that continue to ripple through time from years ago to today.

We salute you. 🫡🐧

[balmy grail]

Make battlefield great again

[atomic dome]

"DICE PLEASE"

[sterile jolt]

Not really, if anything that clip doesn't show tac sprint, I think we will get a new movement system, hopefully closer to V with 2042's momentum

[keen jacinth]

this shows the early build of the new frostbite engine.

[sterile current]

Man all that battle droid wrist rocketing sure did help me with using rocket launchers against infantry in battlefield.

I kinda can’t stop using launchers now..too satisfying

[vale grail]

Well that and all the 'you'll lose your account if you curse in game chat' pansy ass sissy shit. CoD was the former king of shit talking. I mean you needed dictionaries at your side for the homebrew insults that were thrown about.

[rich ember]

"I mean you needed dictionaries at your side for the homebrew insults that were thrown about."

You are overestimating the intelligence of the average CoD player

all they would do is just shout slurs or talk about your mom, it's not that deep.

[sterile current]

My question is, will the next battlefield have a solo mode with multiplayer progression. It’d be huge step backwards not to have it.

Battlefield 5 could have been one of the greats with that.

Now when the servers shut down it’ll just be gone.

[limber bough]

What

[sterile jolt]

You can do that in BFV

Combined whatever mode

I used it to grind many of my gold camos

[rich ember]

You realize that any "solo mode" would still be running on EA servers/require an online connection for DRM purposes, and it'd still be gone if those servers were to be shut down for any reason, right?

like

[vale grail]

I'm talking the 2009-2012 days.

[rich ember]

I still think you're heavily overestimating their intelligence.

Because I was alive during 2009-2012.

[vale grail]

a functional PVE game mode would be amazing, Bad Company 2 had that!

[vale grail]

I was playing cod since 2006 so

[limber bough]

My condolences

[rich ember]

ok

[vale grail]

Tell me about it, watching a franchise go from respecting WWII history and modern conflicts to ghosts- present is saddening

Brain damage? CoD 2 and 3 were my first two cod games, then Modern Warfare and so on

[rich ember]

yes.

[vale grail]

Well that's rather presumptuous, I enjoyed the multiplayer and campaigns of older cods because they were actually fun to play. ghosts and onward is where the issues started becoming more and more.

[rich ember]

I didn't care much for OG MW2.

[vale grail]

Okay?

[sterile current]

Holy crap that was hilarious. I was driving my tank in 3rd person in BF5 and this dude was hiding praying I didn’t see him and then I blasted him from third person

[vale grail]

what tank were you using?

[wary sigil]

What.

what would you change

2042 movement is quite decent, its VERY basic yes, but… how would you have it

[sterile jolt]

Not him but controllable slide, crouch running, back proning, I also would like to see freeform running from BO6

[wary sigil]

See this is a good answer

Let me be agile

Leaning is another thing id like

[sterile jolt]

I'm fine with or without leaning

[granite wyvern]

Exactly like BFV - the peak of FPS movement

[wary sigil]

Not bad

Gunplay is another interesting conversation i think

[keen jacinth]

bf3 good gunplay

visual suppression

each weapons feel unique

[wary sigil]

id also like to see an interesting weapon roster

yeah the m4a1, AK and mp5 are popular weapons but it would be very cool to see interesting choices

i wouldn't mind some returning guns from 2042

AC9, XCE, SWS, MP9, VHX, RM68, SVK

To name a few

[tropic vortex]

Not the ac9

It's for noobs

[keen jacinth]

i want the drauger to return too

love the glided Jdam and korsene bomb

just fix how it collides with objects

[wary sigil]

bad argument try again

[keen jacinth]

and the vector

[wary sigil]

vector is 100% going to be in the game

[keen jacinth]

i hardly see modern battlefields implented this weapon

[wary sigil]

its the new pop culture futuristic smg

p90 erasure smh

all the SMGs from 2042 could return

imo

add the mp7, p90 and mpx and it's set

except the pp19

that one can be left behind in 2042

[tropic vortex]

Do you actually use that gun on the regular? You must have skill issues bud

[wary sigil]

I haven't touched that gun in a while because im focusing on other guns, once again bad argument + resorting to insults.

try again next time, cheers.

[tropic vortex]

Totally your opinion

[wary sigil]

1 blocked message

anyways

[tropic vortex]

You want to bring up a gun you don't even use

And want to say bad argument

Funny bro

[wary sigil]

All SMGs from 2042 are good picks for modern settings, much better than having the MP5, UZI and the other generic smg choices

[tropic vortex]

This guy knows absolutely nothing about guns

[wary sigil]

idc talk to the wall

[raw schooner]

The thing is PDWs are starting to become bit of an obsolete weapon type, most special forces operatives and police force just use regular assault rifles nowadays.

[wary sigil]

That is true

Is it a bad idea to make SMGs secondary weapons

(yes)

[keen jacinth]

I mean in real war some countries allow their soldiers to carry like 3 weapons

smg is mostly a close range weapons

[raw schooner]

Very often regular infantry aren't even issued pistol sidearms, those are usually just for SOF and officers.

Actually correction, SMGs are starting to be obsolete, PDW is just a broad term that can include assault rifles as well.

But yeah mainly due to body armor and the fact that we have carbines with rifle calibers that can use suppressors. That is what kind of replaced the SMG.

[wary sigil]

i was gonna say

i doubt the next battlefield wont have the smg category

But it would be interesting to see them be a global weapon category for all classes that isn't as powerful as the class specific categories

think of it like this

[raw schooner]

The problem is just that not many SMGs are being made anymore, so they're going to run into a wall of what put into the game.

[wary sigil]

Assault class - Assault Rifles
Engineer - Battle Rifles (or something else)
Support - LMGs
Recon - Sniper Rifles

Shared - SMG, DMR, Shotgun/"Utility"

[wary sigil]

that's true

[raw schooner]

They could also have a category "PDW" that would be a mix of SMG and short barrel rifles meant for CQB.

[wary sigil]

Yeah

Could add the honey badger, then again that gun isn't in production anymore

[sterile jolt]

I don't care about SMGs honestly because in 2042 they are just worse ARs, in V they are better ARs for some reason though

[raw schooner]

Watch them add a new weapon category that's just:

FPV drone

Since that seems to be one of the more common weapons on the modern battlefield

[wary sigil]

Weapon category - doohickey

just mysterious items

can be lethal or not

[raw schooner]

"Improvised"

Also added to vehicles, so you can have vans that have been turned into transport vehicles

[wary sigil]

"that's a nice meta AR unfortunately, pipebomb!"

[sterile jolt]

I would lock Shotguns to Assault, Engineer and SMGs to Recon, Support, otherwise good list

DMR and utility weapons should be shared

[granite wyvern]

Yep, meta class in BFV is medic

[mellow basin]

anyone know an easy way to level up the m44

[frigid ivy]

hello guys im new here and have a story to tell

I've been working all day to get the Peacemaker in battlefield 1, and I'm on the final step, but there's no servers on Passchendaele. Which is where I need to be

and I've waited for hours and hours for a server to appear, but none have. I didn't want to resort to this, but I joined the discord just to ask someone if they could lend a hand by opening an Xbox server?

if anyone here owns one currently anyway

[abstract bough]

Instead of US vs Russia in BF6, I hope it's NATO vs a coalition of terrorist organizations working together.

[nimble hedge]

I hope it’s Battlefield One 2: the sequel

[abstract bough]

My idea for the look of the OPFOR faction would resemble something like ISIS or the Taliban

The faction's name would be the Middle Eastern Coalition

[limber bough]

Boring

[sterile jolt]

Rumors are saying it's NATO vs a rogue PMC

[uneven cape]

battlefield with fictional generic setting nr 29356

[livid bay]

It’s already been leaked that it’s NATO or U.S. against a large (I think Russian) PMC

So basically just the US vs Makarov’s pmc from the recent modern warfare games

[limber bough]

"recent"

[livid bay]

Did Makarov use a PMC in the originals? I can't remember them too well so I just went with the recent ones

[sterile jolt]

I hope we will get different cosmetics and character models for nationalities from NATO, I mean... World War 3 has them, every season brings tons of different character models and weaponry from those nations and that game has like AA budget

PMC faction can get non-NATO nations' cosmetics and weaponry too, like Korea, Japan, Iran etc.

[junior torrent]

Never forget better voice acting

[livid bay]

Battlefield with Insurgency Sandstorm or Ghost Recon Breakpoint levels of customization/skins would go crazy

Y'know, I really hope EA follows Sony with their new changes

[junior torrent]

What's that

[livid bay]

They're killing off live service games

Concord did so bad that they're looking at all their projects and have already killed 2 live service games

[sterile jolt]

Next BF will be live service though

[livid bay]

Sadly, yeah. It's too late to make it not live service

[sterile jolt]

One of the reasons why BF went live service is because of BF1 funnily

[livid bay]

But for future games, it could be good

[junior torrent]

Just don't do what 2042 did

[livid bay]

And honestly, BF isn't the typical live-service style

[junior torrent]

Rotate content out like it's sale

Leave shit alone

[sterile jolt]

Non premium owners felt left out because premium owners were constantly getting new content, so they decided to ditch premium model in favor of live service, now everyone gets to play the same maps and weapons

[junior torrent]

My main problem with live service is the limited time content

That shit drives me insane

Don't think previous BF had that issue

[livid bay]

Most live-services are meant to be updated forever with no sequel. But Battlefield is unique because it still focuses on sequels while keeping the current game alive with live service

[sterile jolt]

2 maps and 4 weapons per season would be good imo, maybe 1-2 vehicles and 1-2 gadgets too

[livid bay]

Helldivers did live service the best imo

Their "battle passes" are forever

[sterile jolt]

Agreed

BF6 should have that

[junior torrent]

Whatever it is

[sterile jolt]

I would've bought battle passes in 2042 but there are no new battle passes so I can't give my money to EA

[junior torrent]

So as long as they implement better solo mode

I'm okay

[livid bay]

Could be cool if they were called something like operations and you'd have to select an operation to put exp into it

[junior torrent]

That's my wish

Just better solo mode

[sterile jolt]

You mean against bots?

[junior torrent]

Yes

[sterile jolt]

Oh okay

[junior torrent]

• Better bots

[livid bay]

A co-op like what 3 had would be amazing

[junior torrent]

• all maps and modes available

[sterile jolt]

I don't want better bots honestly

[junior torrent]

• regular, separated unlock system

That's it

[junior torrent]

Meh

[livid bay]

Bots are good as long as they're off by default on normal servers

[junior torrent]

If bots act like campaign, I'm not interested

[sterile jolt]

There are rumors about bots being in Delta Force and Call of Duty, even when devs says they aren't in the game

That's why I don't want them to make better bots

[junior torrent]

If that isn't happening

[sterile jolt]

Bots should be obvious

[junior torrent]

Then I'm not buying it

I'll stick to WR

[livid bay]

Yea. I honestly really like the way 2042 did it

[junior torrent]

No I don't

First of all

[livid bay]

The bots themselves weren't the best, but the way they were indicated as bots was amazing

[junior torrent]

You can only play conquest and bt with them

Secondly, bots are limiting in terms of behaviors

They don't even play as specials

[sterile jolt]

Bots shouldn't replace human players, bots should be obviously bots, if you blur the lines then you will get skill based bots rumors, Delta Force's playtests were unplayable for good players because bots were aimbotting them through the smoke and they were ignoring bad players

[livid bay]

Imo Insurgency Sandstorm is the best example of how to do bots
