battlefield-legacy-titles

[swift sigil]

It does yea

[frozen rune]

the closest the next game is to BF3, the happiest i'll be

[sterile jolt]

It's impossible, if there are no titans or walkers then what's the point of making 2142 portal?

[swift sigil]

Well they would be added as part of 2142 faction lol

Liek we got WW2 vehicles with 1942

[sterile jolt]

BF3 and BC2 content could also be recycled for 2042 like with vault drops, but you can't use 2142 content in 2042

WW2 vehicles works like modern vehicles give or take

Titans are flying aircraft carriers and walkers are like mechs

You can't carry them to 2042

Too futuristic

[swift sigil]

It's not like they would be part of main game. Only modern vehicles got into main game rn

[sterile jolt]

Well yeah, but it would be too much effort, might as well make 2143 at that point

Titan mode was buggy in 2142, imagine how buggy it would be in 2042

[swift sigil]

If they made hover tank just for 1 dlc in BF4 like he said. I don't think it takes too much for slightly different vehicle mechanic to add

[limber heart]

Yeah for now

[swift sigil]

I think people associate futuristic shooters with wallrunning and doublejump because of cod futuristic streak

[sterile jolt]

Walkers aren't like tanks though, they are like titanfall titans except slower

Or more specifically Star Wars ATSTs, they might've recycled them from their Battlefront games honestly lol

[swift sigil]

I'm no coder but I'd say main thing is keeping hitbox with leg movement. Not sure if mobility otherwise is something hardcore

[random ruin]

This makes me wonder if the caliber based destruction will be a thing

As Tom Henderson stated

[sterile jolt]

I want medieval Battlefield. Battlefield 1042

[solar nexus]

There are reports that EA already sent out NDAs for the next battlefield's playtesting

[random ruin]

That was really only for the concrete barricades

Not buildings

[swift sigil]

Copy horse from BF1. Vehicle combat already done

[solar nexus]

Mostly to battlefield content creators

It's a battle royale.

[random ruin]

Surely the playtest is for regular battlefield

I swear if they prioritize BR over regular

[solar nexus]

https://x.com/Battlefield/status/1886082227584327952

[solar nexus]

Did you guys see it?

There is a new concept art in it

[swift sigil]

I don't mind BR mode as long as it's separate team and not at expense of main game. But F2P element comes with crazy skins which will transfer into main version unfortunately

[solar nexus]

Chasing trends is not good. Look at hazard zone

The first concept had Gibraltar

[limber bough]

Extraction shooters weren't even a trend

All of em are dead or dying

[random ruin]

Battlefield having BR wouldn't be bad IF the regular Battlefield got all the attention it needed first

[cinder forge]

No I didn't see it. Thank

[solar nexus]

Br/firestorm was, it was a time when Fortnite and pubg were dominating the market

[spare gust]

No one can kill tarkov lmao

only tarkov itself

[tropic folio]

splitting the studio's attention like that never works, look at what warzone has done to cod

[random ruin]

That's why I said if

[spare gust]

play squad

[random ruin]

So BR for Battlefield is a nuh uh

[sterile jolt]

They accidentally uploaded the trailer! Look before they remove it:
https://youtu.be/qDJdE88OX-0

[limber bough]

Obvious exception since it's basically the only one worth actually playing

[tropic folio]

"worth playing"

tarkov is a masochist's dream

[wary sigil]

BRs aren’t a trend anymore

[spare gust]

tarkovs a cruel mistress, you always come back for more

[tropic folio]

never seen a community with so much stockholm syndrome before

[solar nexus]

Can really Battlefield br do well? When COD, PUBG, FORTNITE are dominating the market?

[tropic folio]

the game is ass, the development is ass, the balance is ass, it runs like ass, and some people just can't get away

[tropic folio]

different target audience

[wary sigil]

Tarkov is playable

Its not fun tho

[tropic folio]

the bar is on the floor

[wary sigil]

Dmz better

[sterile jolt]

CoD is dying, so is Apex

BF has the perfect chance

[tropic folio]

dmz is a joke of a spinoff

[wary sigil]

Ideally the best extraction shooter would have the depth and mechanics of tarkov/delta force and the combat (pvp) of dmz

[tropic folio]

cod is doing quite well

[sterile jolt]

Lost 60% of their players since BO6 launch

[wary sigil]

No.

anyway

Battlefield dmz

[solar nexus]

Firestorm was tried when pubg and Fortnite were dominating. It died on arrival,

[tropic folio]

still going to break sales records next year

or this year

[wary sigil]

Both really

Black ops 2 sequel for this year and MW4 next

[random ruin]

What is it about cod that people keep buying it

[solar nexus]

Next year's COD is a sledgehammer title i think

[wary sigil]

negative

[tropic folio]

well yeah firestorm didn't work because they had no idea how to make it work. I thought you were talking about real battlefield

[wary sigil]

That’s 2027

Advanced Warfare 2

Let me bring you down rq

[swift sigil]

CoD is just milking MW and BO ip at this point. More than half the CoD titles are from these 2 now

[livid bay]

It died on arrival because it was locked behind a paywall. If it was f2p, it could’ve dominated.

Though, it might’ve been for the best that it didn’t

[tropic folio]

why would they do that when people are still happy to buy the game for a campaign

[livid bay]

Bf might’ve gotten the titanfall treatment

[swift sigil]

Yea it could have a chance as F2P cuz with tanks it was different from other BR titles

[solar nexus]

Will f2p battle royale steal resources from the main battlefield's game development?

Look at warzone for example

[solemn forum]

Guys is Battlefield, about fields of battle?!

[wary sigil]

It still has no confirmed lead dev studio, its assumed that its treyarch again, chances are it could turn out moderately decent as the 4 years of development must have gone somewhere but the most likely scenario is that it will be broken as hell on launch, have a short campaign just like MW3 and break warzone AGAIN

Oh and SBMM, can’t forget SBMM and the fucky wucky cosmetics

And what i mean by decent is that it will be playable

[livid bay]

Nah, it’s about battle of fields

[wary sigil]

Fun? No lmao it will suck

[tropic folio]

? 70 for the whole thing like they've always done. Why would they make the campaign free when that is literally only going to make them lose money

[wary sigil]

sadly no they didnt

so yeah franchise will not improve

You WILL get more SBMM

All i gaf about cod at this point is mw4’s campaign and dmz 2

[swift sigil]

I don't expect good campaign. It eats more resources than multiplayer and makes less money. I'm not gonna be surprised if we get latest MW3 campaign

[solar nexus]

This year's cod is a semi futuristic bo2 sequel. Will it be as good as BO2?

[tropic folio]

No

[wary sigil]

Hell no

Lmao

[tropic folio]

next question

[wary sigil]

DICE ADD CONVERSION KITS TO BF6

[tropic folio]

i used to love cod campaigns but sadly yeah most people don't really care for them

[junior torrent]

Man

Give me a multiplayer bot

[spare gust]

[junior torrent]

Or a campaign that's like multiplayer but with narrative plot

[tropic folio]

i knew a guy who played bo2 for ages but never touched the campaign, like man that's half the game

[tropic folio]

warzone? We can already see how shit that is

[junior torrent]

No not that

WZ is shit

Are least for BF

Multiplayer setting can work with story

Just like star wars battlefront

[swift sigil]

I think a lot of playerbase cares. Companies just see it as bad investment imo

[tropic folio]

open world missions kinda killed cod campaigns

[sterile jolt]

I think ripple effect is making it instead of DICE at least according to tom

[solar nexus]

Treyarch already made bo6. Are they working on this year's COD?

[junior torrent]

Just give me a battlefront style campaign for battlefield setting

[tropic folio]

i dunno, maybe it's a significant amount if they're still spending resources to make campaigns. Just anecdotally though i've seen far too many people who never even bother to touch cod campaigns

[swift sigil]

CoD singelplayer missions were amazing. Linearity gives you great scripted moments

[tropic folio]

they had such amazing set pieces back then

recently it's a few interesting movie-like sequences with rehashed open world missions in between

[crimson tinsel]

You want the pew to be a different pew - like pew pew?

[sterile jolt]

They need to remove gunsmithing and return to pick ten for it to happen, they should also remove SBMM but they never will

[wary sigil]

Hell yea

[solar nexus]

They need to bring back bo2's loadout selection before starting campaign missions

[crimson tinsel]

I'ver never lacked pew in Battlefield the last 10 years. Must not play enough.

[swift sigil]

Yea it sucks. Original MW trilogy was one of the best stories I've played

[tropic folio]

oh yeah it was incredible

puts the mw3 remake to shame

such a pathetic campaign

[junior torrent]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I just need my excellent solo mode

[wary sigil]

Mw3 had a sick ass trailer song with dont fear the reaper, made it seem like it was gonna be the high stakes end and then the campaign was ass

[sterile jolt]

Problem with bots is that if you make them too smart players will accuse you of using AI bots as real players in MP

CoD and Delta Force had those controversies

[swift sigil]

I'd love to imagine next BF not only have good singleplayer but also coop campaign. But rn that's unrealistic expectation

[junior torrent]

HAVE IT SEPARATED

I'm not advocating for merging bots in public matches

Sheesh

[spare gust]

Nu cod doesnt have stakes at all

[sterile jolt]

Players will still accuse devs, although DF added them to regular MP

[wary sigil]

It dont

But the trailer looked like it did

[tropic folio]

when will dice give us the legendary dinosaur coop survival mode

[spare gust]

og mw trilogy had more going in it

[junior torrent]

People are stupid aft

Multiplayer bots when

That's rank is allowed

Just like cod black ops 1 training mode

I can't think of other games that did bo1

[swift sigil]

If they add that. I'm buying it even if rest of the game sucks

[sterile jolt]

Most modern games gives you bots in your first few matches

Then you get hit by SBMM

Happens all the time in Fortnite

People just want to be manipulated and feel good over their ''free wins''

Happens in PUBG too although to a lesser extent since it doesn't have SBMM in a traditional sense, if you start to lose consistently you will be placed with bots instead

[swift sigil]

Well it sucks in both ways. If 90% of players see that they're never gonna win they'll lose large chunk of players. When you're matched with 100 other people, under average player can only hope that noone from the other 100 is significantly better than him which would be rare or that all the better players kill each other and then get accidental last kill lol

[tropic folio]

yeah the problem is sbmm just works, they'll never remove something that's so effective at making sure the casual playerbase keeps on playing

[swift sigil]

I kinda agree with someone who explained that when you remove SBMM. You create it by good players making bad players quit and eventually you get small portion of players of same skill

[rain fiber]

Being the devils advocate here, it is the most reliable form of player retention around

[sterile jolt]

Yeah, that's why PUBG is destroying Warzone in Steam

Or Marvel Rivals(no SBMM in quick play)

[remote lion]

Imagine a modern bf game that doesn't suck wow

[sterile jolt]

SBMM exists to keep spenders around, not the low skill players

[remote lion]

It's not SBMM thats a misnomer it's an engagement maximizing algorithm shit

[rain fiber]

Sadly thats the goal, especially in the age of extended and more expensive development cycles

[swift sigil]

Marvel Rivals is team based tho. You can suck but get carried to win.

[tropic folio]

pubg is destroying warzone because warzone is dogshit let's be real

[carmine ibex]

I would love proximity chat

[rain fiber]

So does delta force, so dont get your hopes up

[sterile jolt]

That happens more often in a BF style game though, you don't need to be a good player in order to win in BF

[remote lion]

Every online game in existence has had SBMM. The only difference is in the good old days Ping was king

[sterile jolt]

Just revive the top fraggers or give them info as recon lol

[sterile jolt]

Cap

[remote lion]

No cap sire

[sterile jolt]

Where is SBMM in my Half Life LAN lobbies

[swift sigil]

Yea, it's more difficult for BR games. When you're 1% against 99% and noone to carry you

[sterile jolt]

Uhh... What happened?

[sterile jolt]

That's literally just Activision lying to you, you can't have SBMM and server browser together, they are antithetical to each other. CoD4 had a team balancer but it wasn't SBMM. It just tried to seperate good players and bad players evenly into both teams.

[rain fiber]

Hes also one of the people that have allegedly pushed for a business/development model more akin to cod(if you believe that twitter drama) so take that as you see fit

[remote lion]

Yes you can.

Server finds people based on ping THEN balances the teams.

It's backwards nowadays

[sterile jolt]

MM in SBMM stands for matchmaking, there is no matchmaking with server browser, you select your own match

[remote lion]

Oh sorry I was just talking about COD

obviously a normal server browser is the best option yes

[sterile jolt]

CoD had server browsers too up to MW2 I believe

[remote lion]

I always play on community servers with regulars

Yeah

No cap

[rain fiber]

All Im saying is theres few ways to get “acceptable” roi nowadays, and with people like EA backing your projects theres very particular ways to get there. Dont get your hopes up that things will be any better. They can, but its not a given just because of a project head thats done well in previous unrelated games

[sterile jolt]

They should look at games that has 600K concurrent players on steam then(PUBG, Marvel Rivals), not the games with 70K concurrent players(Apex, Warzone, Delta Force)

[indigo bone]

Will the upcoming livestream tmr include some gameplay stuff (screenshots, video of gameplay etc.) or it's just going to talk about when the upcoming playtests will be playable?

[sterile jolt]

I hope we will see a reveal trailer

[indigo bone]

Same

[sterile jolt]

EA makes 🤑 from those trailers lol

[swift sigil]

I'll be honest. Trailer quality used to be better imo

Half the trailer is battlepass rewards now

[sterile jolt]

BF trailers were fire since BF3

[swift sigil]

Or BF1 reveal and French DLC trailer set to high of a standard for me

[gleaming quarry]

Hope it's a dev vlog accompanied by an extensive blog post explaining everything.

No hype trailers that look good but tell us nothing.

[sterile jolt]

https://youtu.be/JE_ERO-AOJI

Why BF3 was a marketing masterpiece

[gleaming quarry]

How would people feel if what they announce is paid early access to a CTE that will affect the course of the next game? 🤔

[frozen rune]

COD4 still has them and are used to this day

[sterile jolt]

People will get mad lol

No one wants to be a paid beta tester except maybe streamers

[gleaming quarry]

Early access games on steam have been a popular thing for years tho

[sterile jolt]

Well yeah, PC gamers are a different breed to say it lightly

[gleaming quarry]

Say 29.99 for CTE access, which also grants you full game access at launch.

[sterile jolt]

That's actually a steal since full game will be 70 dollars lol

[swift sigil]

Personally I wouldn't mind early access version at this point.

If it helps get BF franchise get back on track so be it

[sterile jolt]

I think it will gain negativity more than anything, but I dunno

[frozen rune]

They don't need your money lol

[gleaming quarry]

It's something other games have done in the past. Who knows tho.

[solid mural]

https://x.com/Battlefield/status/1886082227584327952?s=19

I'm late but yeah.

[frozen rune]

Paid early access = probably
Paid CTE access = unlikely otherwise prepare to get piled on and the brand doesn't need an other fire

[swift sigil]

Not saying they do. I pay for what I'm getting. Not saying I'm gonna preorder. If I see game available in early access is worth the money I'd buy

[gleaming quarry]

They don't need the money, no. But a paid early access would be far easier to pitch and get approved (corpo wise) versus a free full open public access.

[swift sigil]

Buying early access is whole lot different than preorder

In preorder you have no idea what you'll get

In early access you do

[icy sluice]

Money is just a statistic for success, really.

[sterile jolt]

I think it will gather negativity, not like BF fanbase is happy, if they want an early access they should just turn it to open and closed betas

But over the course of a year instead of just last 2 weeks

[swift sigil]

Also it should lose the title of AAA game with that probably

[tropic vortex]

We are the happiest

[wide sand]

They should do a Crimean War battlefield to replicate the success of bf1

Just go further back in time every time

[sterile jolt]

Didn't knew sardinia helped ottomans in crimea war lol, so random

[barren cloud]

New battlefield time 👀

[prime pine]

Bamtlefield

[junior torrent]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[jade bronze]

can you change your server in battlefield 5, there is like 2 players online rn

[silver tide]

leak everyting tomorrow

[junior torrent]

Do whatever fits. But make sure to have better voice lines

[jolly fog]

[tropic vortex]

I can wait

[hazy swallow]

the announcement make me can't go back to sleep 😭

[fallow geyser]

👀 gonna have to hide under my desk at work to see this announcement

[frozen fjord]

I hope to learn from mistakes

[tropic vortex]

You guys weren't kidding about the crashes I thought it was a joke

[tropic tendon]

New BF better be worth it.. as a previous CTE tester, I hope we are first to be invited.

[jolly fog]

If they listen to the testers

We get a good BF

All they have to do is listen

[limber bough]

Surely the testers are competent

[prime pine]

The channel switching around has fucked me up

[tropic vortex]

My new home

[teal fractal]

no

[solar nexus]

There is Apex too

[teal fractal]

yes

it wont do well

br isnt a selling point for bf games

meaningless

they should play into the community they created rather than play into communities they dont own

[hazy swallow]

for me BF BR (firestorm) is stunning and firestorm got locked behind a paywall,

maybe the new BF BR will be good if it goes F2P its really unique than other BR, the destruction is insane in firestorm the ring of fire too

[halcyon vector]

Sure hope they pick a good group of players for the testing, a good mixture of veteran players/YouTubers and portal gamemode creators.

[tropic folio]

the test groups have been varied

[solar nexus]

Battlefield 3/4 players

[tropic folio]

good luck filtering those

[solar nexus]

There are people who appreciate bf2042

They say specialists are fine in a battlefield game

[prime pine]

Elitist as fuck dude.

[solar nexus]

They say getting rid of legacy features are also fine

[tropic folio]

far less numerous than new players who never touched 1942

[prime pine]

Actual birthright shit.

[sharp oyster]

my bf1 doesnt want to launch propely
the splash screen loads then it instatnly turns off and ea app flickers for a moment

aand then closes

can anybody help

it was working propely before

I tried reinstalling

[tropic folio]

that's great for you

[solar nexus]

People playtested bf2042. They were aware of the issues but didn't talk about it publicly until launch

[halcyon vector]

@tropic folio That's good to hear, as a battlefield veteran I'm really hoping they can knock it out of the park on the next installment. Portal was a great tool for me to create some custom combat mechanics which I'd love to see in the next title.

[solar nexus]

Battlefield 2142 needed to be in Portal

[prime pine]

I've been playing cod since the very first one dude. Doesn't mean I'm entitled to anything.

[solar nexus]

Portal should've been it's own game

[prime pine]

Hey the bot is here

[tropic folio]

yeah we'll see. People playtested 2042 before launch and even complimented the game, yet it still came out the way it did. They've got the feedback, now they just need to do the right thing with it

[solar nexus]

Because they didn't have the time to fix all the issues. It was poorly planned from the beginning

Bf2042 was supposed to be a BR until they decided to make an all out Warefare game

Next battlefield is bringing back the old classes

Vince Zampella said BF is going back to it's roots

He said it will be like bf3/4 which were the pinnacle of battlefield

[tropic folio]

they also said 2042 was a love letter to fans

[prime pine]

I'm sure there's a few people we can trust to give a good preview.

I think the one thing about it is just the game being "fresh" which can do a lot.

[solar nexus]

I can trust vince Zampella because he is one of the most successful devs at EA. HE led Medal of Honor, COD till he got fired, apex, jedi, Titanfall.

He probably can save battlefield

[tropic folio]

how many times have we seen this story play out

ex devs from beloved games going elsewhere to make a new game, and unsurprisingly it's is average at best because one or two people don't make a game

all empty words until the game is released

[solar nexus]

The next battlefield battle royale is led by Byron Beede who once led COD Warzone

[solar nexus]

The battlefield veterans founded their own studio because of how they were treated. Some of them came back to work on the next battlefield

[tropic folio]

are you reading or just typing

[solar nexus]

The people who made bf2042, most of them never worked on battlefield before

[solar nexus]

I see but i think we can count on vince Zampella

[tropic folio]

we'll know for sure soon enough

[halcyon vector]

I think he's referring to the Devs that left to make the finals.

[solar nexus]

Battle Royale is something they should ditch, simply because the market is way too competitive

They have Apex, so fix that instead of making of bf br

Apex is already quite established

[tropic folio]

oh yeah i suppose embark have been fairly successful

though i don't play the finals anymore and lost interest in arc raiders after it changed direction

[sharp oyster]

where can I get support when it comes to bf1 not opening ?

[solar nexus]

The Finals is technically more successful than bf2042

[sharp oyster]

what do I do

[solar nexus]

The finals devs are making an 3rd person extraction shooter which got some hate

[prime pine]

That's way too early.

[tropic folio]

maybe a teaser at most

wasn't 2042 teaser in june?

[solar nexus]

The game leaked before that. An internal trailer was leaked in may maybe

[tropic folio]

yeah but leak dates can't be used to judge when we'll get info about the next battlefield lol

[solar nexus]

The final game didn't look like the internal trailer

[tropic folio]

official teaser was june

[junior torrent]

On that bombshell...

[solar nexus]

The internal trailer had classic soldiers which never made it to the final game

[junior torrent]

RETURN TO KARKAND?

[solar nexus]

The next battlefield is rumored to be nato vs a pmc

It will be set in current time as some rumors say

[junior torrent]

What about

Aftermath DLC

[open oyster]

https://fixupx.com/Battlefield/status/1886082227584327952

M1A2 SEP V3

Setting is in the 2020s

[solar nexus]

They should bring back the paracel storm and ac 130 gunship

[junior torrent]

AC 130 ABOVE

Give me back my commander

I wanna be in the hot seat

[solar nexus]

The first concept art had Gibraltar too

[prime pine]

Leave it until there's an actual reveal. Literally concept art.

[solar nexus]

And naval combat

[teal fractal]

documents- battlefield 1 and delete settings folder in it

[prime pine]

Alright.

I'm personally not sold on the theme until we get actual game play.

[robust oriole]

Anyone else still trying to get bf4 platinum hmu im trying get it

For playstation i might add

[tropic folio]

well it isn't

idk why people are saying so many things with certainty when literally all we have is concept art and some vague statements

[terse drum]

ive been trying to get it for a while

[dim canopy]

if only they bring back shanghai and hong kong map

[robust oriole]

Me too but some of the multi-player gamemodes are hard to get enough people to play

[terse drum]

i know man

[robust oriole]

Are you on playstation?

[sharp oyster]

I deleted all the insides nothing has changed

[terse drum]

yep

[sharp oyster]

it just got replaced with different ones when restarting

[teal fractal]

alr nothing wrong with configs then

[teal fractal]

ye it resets setting configs

[sterile jolt]

BR audience wasn't interested in CoD until WZ too, this argument makes no sense

[gleaming quarry]

If its FTP...it will bring a lot of new players into the "Battlefield Ecosystem". Look at the effect a free weekend had on 2042 at season 6. Its max player count peaked, tonnes of players ended up buying the game after having a good time.

[carmine ibex]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP0Ij1_VTY0
Guys bf3 teaser trailer was released feb 3 2011

[open oyster]

the concept art has a test-bed prototype variant of the M1A2 SEP V3 Abrams tank for some reason, where it has extra steel plates on the front of the turret to act as extra weight, not as armor

artist might think the weights are reactive armor lol

[gleaming quarry]

Concept art means next to nothing, when it comes to the actual vehicles. An artist will just use any random platform as reference for their art.

Concept art can also mean next to nothing to how the actual game looks also. Just look at 2042s

[tight rain]

Does usually give you something to work with though

[gleaming quarry]

Kaleidoscope concept art

[tight rain]

God that would have been so much cooler

[gleaming quarry]

What we actually got at launch

My point is just to ignore concept art for now haha

[prime pine]

Don't forget uhhh

The shit mao

Map

What's it called

The desert one

[gleaming quarry]

Hourglass

[prime pine]

HOURGLASS

Yeah

[open oyster]

concept art looks like it has dystopian vibes while the actual map looks clean and doesn't look war-torn as if it were the first battle to take place there

[prime pine]

There was a concept map for it which involved highways.

To be honest it would be cool if they used the pods from bf4/2142 more.

[sharp oyster]

i think there might be annissue with cloud sync maybe? but idk

[azure seal]

There was a dev who made kaleidoscope and other 2042 maps who talks about how basically the map wasn't done when the launch arrived. They had so much more they were hoping to do but it didn't pan out. The concept art is what they originally intended, but 2042's famously awful dev cycle prevented it

[prime pine]

Sorry I'm being random but yeah that looks more involved. Minus issues with having highways everywhere lol

[prime pine]

Rushed game ahoy

[open oyster]

well if the maps looked like they did in the concept art, probably would be much more hardware demanding and be a stutter fest

[gleaming quarry]

You can build big maps if you use appropriate distance culling

2042 likely also suffered from needing to work on 2 gens of console...paired with all the other issues with development tho

[azure seal]

That too. 2042 suffered horribly from rushing the engine dev time and being restricted by last Gen consoles

[azure seal]

Breakaway lost its mountain and Hourglass it's stadium in the reworks because of last Gen consoles

[gleaming quarry]

Breakaway mountain was terrible.

[prime pine]

I was just thinking it would have screwed over old gen.

[gleaming quarry]

1100m zipline to get to it lmao

[azure seal]

It was terribly placed

Because DICE made it geographically make sense instead of have good gameplay

[prime pine]

Dude I'm saying it again they could have used pods and made traversing the mountain more fun.

[gleaming quarry]

they werent able to move major level geometry for map remakes. so it had to go

[prime pine]

https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Assault_Pod

These things.

They shouldn't be used as a band aid but they'd make things more interesting i reckon.

[gleaming quarry]

Shoehorning pods into the game wouldnt have been the right move IMO. Stuff liek that makes games annoying to play. Just like re-deploy beacons in COD WZ

Completely breaks map flow.

[azure seal]

Yeah but if it could've been done, I would've put the mountain in the middle of the map, split breakaway in 2 to make the mountain a Hotspot with a robust cave system to fight inside that goes up to the top and from there you could parachute off or use it as a sniper power zone

[gleaming quarry]

Especially if a map wasnt originally designed for it

[prime pine]

Yeah i literally acknowledged it which is funny. Same mindset. But I dunno. At least from spawn they'd be great to get into the action.

By the way I'm not trying to speak for post release I was just saying

[gleaming quarry]

Yeah, they were cool in BF4 DLC TBH. But they worked there cos they were a big feature of the hangar map. Players knew to expect incoming from thos things.

[prime pine]

I think one big thing too is that points on conquest had actual power.

As in

[gleaming quarry]

I dont like the idea of allowing players to shoot themselve in any direction tho. At least in the core BF experience

[prime pine]

It was more advantageous for your team to get a point that could spawn a tank.

And or maybe a point with these pods meaning whoever has it literally has easy access.

[prime pine]

The way they had it set up there made more sense.

I agree.

[gleaming quarry]

Yeah, you stepped in, and it shoots you to a pre-determined location

[trail osprey]

is there an active server for b1?

[prime pine]

That shit point. The weather station on breakaway. Unironically that'd be a great point for the pods.

Both in and out.

[carmine ibex]

Is it confirmed that there will be no specialist or opertors?

[prime pine]

Wait until there's actual information..

[carmine ibex]

I hope we maps in America

An A all out war in the USA

[azure seal]

They confirmed back in December it's a return to classes and 64 players

Specialist are gone for good

[carmine ibex]

Good

I dont mind character custimization like in bf5

[azure seal]

Insidergaming says the F2P mode will be set in the U.S. but all the main game maps will span Asia, Middle East, and Europe

[prime pine]

Let's hope for some variety hey.

If we can get one map in Australia I'd be happy.

[gleaming quarry]

Honestly I dont care what they do as long as there are good maps, lots of weapons and vehicles...decent balance, and gadgets are locked to classes.

[prime pine]

I just want a fucking server browser for all out warfare.

[gleaming quarry]

Outside of those things, persistent servers, map rotations and a server browser.

[hazy swallow]

oh boy i can't wait to see the leaks in bilibili

[azure seal]

If there's no server browser in the community testing, it needs to be the #1 everyone needs to shout at DICE about

[gleaming quarry]

Na, playtesting is not about making demands.

The feedback of us wanting a server browser should be pushed forward...but that is not what playtesting is for

I have no doubt that a bunch if people will mis-use playtests tho. People with no interest in testing whats actually being tested...only wanting to complain about issues and whats not in the game yet

I remember a tonne of people bitching about the community map in BF4...when it was a whitebox environment with no textures.

[prime pine]

I actually wouldn't be surprised if the pre release game didn't have a server browser cause... it's wip. Like lol

[gleaming quarry]

Logically thinking about it...performing mass testing could actually be easier with a server browser for player agregation

[prime pine]

Yeah who knows at this point.

[gleaming quarry]

Im sure all their plans are set and in motion now tho. So lets ee tomorrow. 😄

[prime pine]

Eee

[eternal dune]

i just hope the weapons have more customisation. They need to move on from 4 attachments

[hoary creek]

New battlefield trailer soon I'm going tune in

[toxic minnow]

I think tomorrow New

[brave glacier]

Nah no trailers tomorrow

Only details about CTE probably

[hoary creek]

Idk

[ripe arch]

I have no faith in dice

[hoary creek]

They learn there leason so give them one last chance

[ripe arch]

No game company these days care about immersion anymore

But at least specialist is gone, that's a plus

Beyond that, I just want like nation vs nation again

[hoary creek]

Nato vs china and Russia

[brave glacier]

I mean we said the same after BF5 when 2042 was announced

Even if bf5 was not that bad if we look back but still

I just want to see a trailer and actual gameplay

[gleaming quarry]

Highly doubt they will do vs Russia/china. Easier to do a PMC which can be compromised of soldiers from Russia, china and other countries. That also doesnt get you banned in china

[hoary creek]

Ah okay

[ripe arch]

That would be perfect

[gleaming quarry]

BF4 was banned in China for having China as an agressor faction, for example

I think it would be a stupid decision to lose the chinese market over something so needless like that

[hoary creek]

Maybe russia and North Korea vs nato?

So chinase people can play new battlefield or something

[gleaming quarry]

I just dont see the need to restrict it to any one specific nation/s

[hoary creek]

Ah okay

[strong parrot]

wait the entire thing was?

[gleaming quarry]

Like you make one faction be russian...now youve limited yourself to only being able to add russian vehicle for one faction

[gleaming quarry]

Yes, it was 😄

[strong parrot]

either i missed that at the time.. or forgot about it but thats pretty funny

[gleaming quarry]

Articles from the time can be easily found ha

[strong parrot]

China cant take a joke

how many times has russia been the baddies in video games?? it doesnt seemed to have negatively effected them

[umbral current]

Paper tiger tbh

[silent kelp]

Is there anybody that is still going for the dice la camo in bf4

[carmine ibex]

damn we may see russia, china as factions again

vs nato

[azure seal]

Insidergaming reported the bad guys are a global PMC. Which is probably how they do a Russia and China vs NATO

[sterile jolt]

2042 maps looks like they were made by concept artists rather than level designers honestly, that's one fatal flaw of it imo.

[azure seal]

That problem dates back to Battlefield 1

There are lots of maps that were designed to look pretty instead of playable

[sterile jolt]

Agreed, Sinai Desert is awful

Feels like proto Hourglass lol

Rotterdam is one of the maps in that aspect, looks great but also plays great

[junior torrent]

At least we get to hear badass Chinese lines

[tropic vortex]

Jackie operator

[stark nimbus]

battlefield is back??? letsgo

[strong parrot]

[prime pine]

NATO & PAC might be the route they will take it.

I dunno. They haven't named Russia since the start of the russo Ukraine war.

[sterile jolt]

Almost all the modern games are just US vs Russia or US vs China which is boring honestly

People don't like CoD Ghosts but at least it wasn't just US vs Russia again, it was US vs LATAM

Which resulted in lots of latin american weaponry in the game

[true fable]

bf5 definitive edition costs $2 in my country, both on ea app and steam. still the same anyway? except launching the game?

[hazy swallow]

if the next bf have no server browser, at least give us region select so i can play in other region so i can get full match :(

and pls no AI/BOTS dice

or just bring server browser back

[dreamy quiver]

Is a new battlefield being announced tomorrow or something

[hazy swallow]

Kind of

[sterile jolt]

I hope so

If they want CTE to be public they have to have a reveal trailer first imo

[dreamy quiver]

What is this new community testing thing

[hazy swallow]

they announce there will be a community testing program

[hazy swallow]

you test the game ?

give feedback, report bugs etc.

[dusty otter]

when will we get the return of the glorious pan asian coalition

their themes went hard honestly

[strong parrot]

is cats the enemy now

[wraith umbra]

but when will the testing actually start? im assuming we'll know tomorrow?

[hazy swallow]

yesh sir we will get more info tomorrow

[sterile jolt]

2042 if it was finished

[wraith umbra]

hopefully

[hazy swallow]

i don't want to experiance 2042 all over again pls dice bug free or atleast little to no bug at beta <3

[wraith umbra]

i got 2042 when season 1 launched

i just bought BF5 like a week ago and already like it better

[hazy swallow]

i like bfv but i like modern warfare more

[wraith umbra]

i like fps games with modern guns

delta force is nice, but battlefield 5 just feels better

[dreamy quiver]

Ww2 was less than 100 years ago. Isn't that modern?

[wraith umbra]

i think bf5 is modern

[hazy swallow]

less gun modification

same as bf 1

[willow pasture]

I prefer the subject of the Second World War😊

[sterile jolt]

That's what I like about it honestly, gunsmithing and it's consequences has been a disaster for casual FPS

[urban canopy]

A title reveal at the very least would be nice.

My hope is that these content creators and community members given access to the playtest will be able to share their footage.

[wraith umbra]

there revealing the playtesting program

[dreamy quiver]

Not happening until an official announcement from EA

[wraith umbra]

tomorrow their revealing the community playtest program, via their twitter

[dreamy quiver]

I will keep an eye on it doubt we'll see gameplay

[wraith umbra]

tomorrow at 11am est

[urban canopy]

I mean what are they even gonna reveal in a blogpost. Who cares about those details if they don't have access to the playtest? They might as well just email it to the people that will be playing.

[wraith umbra]

all i know is their revealing new info about it, maybe a new beta date or something

[urban canopy]

too early for a beta, maybe an alpha in summer.

[wraith umbra]

my guess is they will give a date or window for a beta and then give us a sign up form maybe idk

[urban canopy]

public alpha in the summer would be nice. They did have a public alpha for a bf game. It was hardline I think, I played it.

[wraith umbra]

idk how early they are in the development process but hopefully tomorrow is fun news

[hazy swallow]

bf 4 gun modification is peak i hope we have those back not like in MW Gunsmith

[dreamy quiver]

Early in development? Wrong choice of words. Its been 4 years. We've never had to wait this long

[sterile jolt]

Oh yeah, I agree. I hate 300 different attachments with minimal effect on the weapon and 20 attachment slots. I would rather have like 4 attachment slots and maybe like 30-40 attachments. They can keep plus system too(just discard the mags and bring back accessory).

[wraith umbra]

then tomorrow should give us a beta date if their revealing more about testing the game right?

[hazy swallow]

True! i dont need more than 4 attachment slots, just more attachments i can use especially the scope i want more 1x time scope or maybe 2x time scope zoom lvl

[dreamy quiver]

BF3 teaser was actually the same day. February 3rd.

[hazy swallow]

Pog

[wraith umbra]

bf5 trailer in my opinion was the most hype

[sterile jolt]

BF5 launch trailer yeah

[wraith umbra]

2042 reveal trailer was just weird but had its moments

[sterile jolt]

2042 trailer relied too much on nostalgia

[wraith umbra]

yup

[sterile jolt]

I don't think next BF trailer will have that

[wraith umbra]

nah they said they going back to bf roots with gameplay so id assume theyll give us a trailer filled with what the older bf games had

[sterile jolt]

But if they do that people will associate next BF with 2042 like ''Oh yeah, another rendezook, we had that in 2042 trailer too''

[urban canopy]

Yeah a teaser tomorrow would be very appropriate

[teal fractal]

💀💀

It was the most disliked trailer at the time

Good times

[teal fractal]

I never had hope for 2042 even just from seeing the images before trailer idk

But i also hated 5 extremely hard so lol

[sterile jolt]

What do you think about BF6 now?

[teal fractal]

I have high hopes they cant really mess it up this time

They have to redeem themselves

And you cant really do much worse than they did on launch 42

[sterile jolt]

Performance-wise it will be a night and day difference I agree

2042 was unplayable during launch or even in beta

[teal fractal]

I expect classes to be back since people have been egging them on for it, i think more sophisticated maps, leaning might come back rest will stay same i imagine, ai will probs stay, maybe some short campaign will return

[teal fractal]

Yeah

I really think itll be pretty decent this time

If they want to get out of the 42 shade then they really have to pull it together on this one

And tbh current 42 is pretty good

[sterile jolt]

I hope for nothing and expect for the worst tbh I want many of the BFV features back though, like movement, sandbag building, rocket call-ins.

I would be more than happy if it plays like BFV but in modern setting

[timid pulsar]

So is this community test server supposed to be for the new Battlefield game?

[sterile jolt]

Yes

[wraith umbra]

im just hoping the new testing program begins sooner rather than later

[timid pulsar]

How did they do community testing for 2042?

I don't remember, was it like a beta sign up or something?

[sterile jolt]

They didn't

[strong parrot]

was like a closed alpha on that, you might have been invited via email

[sterile jolt]

Wasn't orbital also in beta? I remember playing it but not sure if I got in via email or not

[tough pike]

anyone plays bf1 ?

[teal fractal]

Yes

A lot of people do

[tough pike]

just bought it few weeks ago i thought it would be dead

[teal fractal]

Lol no

Eu, Na and asia have hundred + full servers

[tough pike]

Yeah exactly, i was surprised, i have 28hrs now , best bf ever

[timid pulsar]

I just hope the next Battlefield is like 2, 3, and 4.

but with the online matchmaking of 2042. Queuing in the old games was a pain

[sterile jolt]

BF2 plays nothing like 3 and 4

Also how is old system pain? You could just look for any server you want to play in

[timid pulsar]

BF2 had amazing maps. The unlock system was basic and simple. For its time, it was a solid BF game. 3 and 4 basically evolved the gameplay mechanics but in my opinion, a server browser is a pain in the ass to use as the only way to play the game. Server browsers should be an option, not the only way to play. Core matchmaking is the modern way to queue into games. You don't have to worry about a server admin, you don't have to worry about what rules are being used, or what settings, you just get to enjoy the vanilla core game.

I'll take matchmaking playlists over server browser anyday.

[wise locust]

why lump bf2 with 3 and 4?

that is oddly random

[storm marlin]

It’s inevitable, but I won’t bar surprised if they follow an atypical reveal schedule

[storm marlin]

A few second clip and I’ll be happy

9 hours…….

[sterile jolt]

BF2 doesn't play like 3 or 4. Closest game to BF2 is BF5 among modern BF games and 3/4 needs far less teamwork to play. I also disagree about server browser ''issue''. You can just find another server if you can't enter 64/64[8] servers. Better than waiting 40 seconds in matchmaking imo.

[celest pollen]

Honestly knowing that the new battlefield team is 90% new developers and probably directors of design, I just hope the leads stick to a unique and thought out design and gameplay direction. Even if it's not battlefield 3 like or battlefield 4 like, it just needs a clear focus no matter how they do it

Honestly if that's there. They will most likely have a good product even if it doesn't represent bf

[timid pulsar]

I just dont like community ran servers.

[zinc snow]

Any word on bf6. I hope it’s modern like bf3 plays balanced like bf2 and has new ranks

[junior torrent]

Plays like 2? You're out your damn mind

[zinc snow]

I mean bf2 was more balanced except for the helix

[junior torrent]

You really want the next game to half milsim?

[zinc snow]

Yeah a balanced half

[junior torrent]

Absolutely not

I did not like the classic at all

[zinc snow]

Everything looks good in hindsight

[junior torrent]

I just want better solo mode

That's all

[zinc snow]

Dewd the level of skill is so different between bots and multi. You are actually dumber for playing against bots

[junior torrent]

Not if they're programmed correctly

[zinc snow]

I find multi amusing the kind of things people get up to in multi

[junior torrent]

You know what. I can tell where this is going. So I'm out of here

[timid pulsar]

wait, are you one of those that don't like Battlefield to be 50/50 milsim/arcade?

I hope you're kidding me.

[zinc snow]

1500hr playing bf2 can’t be wrong

[jolly fog]

I want the same realism as BF4

[prime pine]

I just want a tacticool game personally.

Give me the cool guns and outfits but make the game fun.

[zinc snow]

The sniper rifles in bf2 were perfect. Just the right bullet drop and able to shoot through armoured glass of the helicopter.

These kind of things made the game fun.

The weapon spread wasn’t so bad so even if you were using medic you still could compete especially after you get the weapon unlock

[timid pulsar]

@zinc snow the problem with BF2 is that it came out in 2005, and unless you were a gamer back then, most people today will likely not even know it existed. I'm 44 almost 45 years old. BF2 was a huge thing for me in college back in 2005. In 2005, I was 25, so the likelihood of kids playing BF2 under 18 was probably null, sadly. I think there were probably some 30s/40s playing BF2 in 2005, but if you were 30 playing BF2 back in 2005, today you're 50 years old. BF2's demographic is dying like the folks who played Quake and Doom.

it's hard to reference BF2 to Battlefield fans because the younger folks never got to experience it.

BF2 was a PC only game. The one that came out on consoles was NOT BF2. It was some abomination.

[zinc snow]

True.dat

[timid pulsar]

did you ever play Battlefield Vietnam before BF2?

[zinc snow]

No

I actually hated bf1 but gave bf2 a chance when it came out

[timid pulsar]

wait what?

There wasn't a Battlefield 1 back before Battlefield 2. It was BF 1942, BF Vietnam, BF2. Then Bad Company, etc...

[zinc snow]

Bf1942 was too slow for me.

And being able to fly a harrier helped too

[south radish]

Snipers are much better today, also i think you can shoot through glass with most callibers today if i am not wrong 🤔

[south radish]

Back then it was amazing, also i was under 18 at the time 😛 I probably couldn't play anything similar today as it's pretty much outdated

[timid pulsar]

yeah, I tried BF2 a couple months back, it's rough to play because the max resolution of the game doesn't fit my screen

I think the great thing about BF2 was the maps, the modes, and the shooting mechanics.

My main gripe with Conquest in the recent Battlefield games is that the bleed isn't like BF2's conquest.

can we post images here?

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefield/images/7/76/BF2_Gulf_of_Oman_16.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20220122233809

I'll use 16 player gulf of oman as my example

BF2 had an amazing competitive experience on their maps. You got the US spawn and the MEC spawn. The beauty of this mode is if you were able to take the MEC flag, it basically killed them unless they had squad leaders still alive. The game became such chess match.

Each side spawned with a tank, two jeeps, and I think another light armor vehicle.

some of the matches would literally end in 10 minutes because one side was able to take all the flags or take three over 1 and bleed the other side to death

it was so much fun.

the terrain, the distance, of the map, all of it was sized perfectly

a lot of the 2042 maps in conquest feel like you're literally just running around....there's not a lot of action.

[south radish]

I was too young to care much about details like that at the time. And havent really played it much after its time either

[south radish]

Absolutelly, specially with 128p. They fixed that though i feel, and the game considering other aspects is much better than release as an example. Mostly these days i play 64p and feel there is plenty of action and less looking for action. I remember in the start i would play hour glass and go to stadium for action or B on exposure. Everything else was running for couple hours to get killed if unlucky

[dreamy trellis]

Do you know where I have to go to see?
To see the new battelfield testing program ?

[south radish]

According to post, info drops in 7h31m

#game-news message

[atomic frost]

will it be a livestream?🤔

[south radish]

Probably not, probably just text info. I mean it don't say anything about stream, but i guess one could think so since they set spesific time 🤷

[timid pulsar]

a live stream would be a good thing to do

like, an intro to what to expect with the next Battlefield game

kinda how Tarkov Tv does their thing

[proud elm]

https://tenor.com/view/today-today's-the-big-day-gary-todays-the-big-day-gary-todays-the-day-today's-the-day-gif-6156088520297595003

[atomic frost]

i mean it says "tune in" and "see yout there"

[south radish]

🤷

[timid pulsar]

yeah, tune in to me doesn't mean just a text post

[south radish]

Who knows, i guess we'll see

[atomic frost]

would do lots of good things for dice

[timid pulsar]

yeah, DICE needs a overhaul

[atomic frost]

😂

[timid pulsar]

I hate that the original DICE folks left and made that new studio for The Finals

and you can tell in that game how they made the player models and just the overall environments

it's legacy DICE

[atomic frost]

lile the new recoil they tried to add to tarkov and they cancelled it midstream because of the people complaining

[timid pulsar]

haha yeah

[atomic frost]

lets just pray for a turnaround the next 7h

[timid pulsar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FktL2pu2wE

Nothing will ever replace this greatness

I remember seeing this and I was like HOLY HELL!!! YES!!

[proud elm]

Should be at <t:1738598400:t> if I've got it right 🤔

[timid pulsar]

DICE is in US right?

[dreamy trellis]

For me yes

[atomic frost]

i started wirh bf5. I think it was great, i dont understand the hate. Later got bf1 and played that for a few hundred hours

[proud elm]

dice is in Sweden

[timid pulsar]

I thought Vince Zampella was leading this game?

[dreamy trellis]

On the battelfield YouTube channel they will do a live

[timid pulsar]

It's hard to suggest installing 3 and 4, because the games are so old in terms of the logistics of getting into matches. But those were the prime Battlefield games in the last 10+ years.

[proud elm]

In a sense yes, Ripple effect (ex Dice LA) is working on it,so are EA motive (US & Canada) and Criterion(UK)

[timid pulsar]

Who is Vince working for now?

[wispy summit]

hey, should I get bf1 or bf5?

[timid pulsar]

I thought he was doing the APEx thing

[wispy summit]

well, I just bought bf1 but what about bf5

[atomic frost]

i dont really like the future settings in those games, way unbalanced. (in 2042 at least)

[atomic frost]

bf5 is great

[proud elm]

BFV is great and still very populated with players

[atomic frost]

was on release imo

[timid pulsar]

BF 3 and 4 are great games.

[atomic frost]

to "old" for me, sadly

[timid pulsar]

no, i get that

they are old

[atomic frost]

i wosh i started back the

[dreamy trellis]

Maybe they did this battlefield well too.

[timid pulsar]

funy how a game like Counterstrike that's older than Battlefield can still be a prime time game today.

[atomic frost]

same wirh for example Far Cry Primal, cod bo2 and so on

[timid pulsar]

maybe

[wispy summit]

So I'll just buy both?

[atomic frost]

yes, but you need to keep with that one game not release a new one every year or two

[timid pulsar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FktL2pu2wE I still love this trailer

[timid pulsar]

Rainbow Six is doing that

[proud elm]

Might as well lol,pretty sure they are on sale really cheap atm

[timid pulsar]

It's interesting that Rainbow Six is still keeping Siege relevant

[atomic frost]

its droppikg now, but it held a good 6-7 years before the dropoff

[wispy summit]

alright im just tight on money thats all lol

thanks

[atomic frost]

i think its 3€ for bfv

[wispy summit]

Ah okay

[atomic frost]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1238810/Battlefield_V/

2.5

thats a banger deal

[wispy summit]

$3 for me

Yeah pretty good

Oceania servers are pretty dead on bf1

[deft granite]

oceania servers are pretty dead in general

[atomic frost]

not many people live there, conpared to eu or na

mby try a vpn and na you could get lucky with a 50-60 ping

for bf thats good enough🤷🏻‍♂️

[wispy summit]

how bads the lag if I play on 300

[fresh sorrel]

Today we will probably get some previews of the next battlefield, Im sure some youtubers will post impressions and the video might be out tomorrow

[atomic frost]

300ms so you/server lags 0.3seconds behind that goes ontop of your reaction time which is around .2-.3seconds so everything is around half a seconf behind/lagging

instead of just .2-.3

[timid pulsar]

Isn't Australia in Oceania?

[timid pulsar]

pray to the Gods that we get a classic Battlefield game this time

that Battlefield 3 E3 trailer still hits hard, and if they can make something better than that, it would be awesome.

[scenic elm]

Its hard to get started with BF3 now Just because of all its issues

Would have been Nice if BF3 Got the BF4 Treatment and Got rid of battle log

It feels like most of the issues with getting bf3 to work at all stem from battle log

[timid pulsar]

no doubt, i woudlnt' suggest installing 3 or 4

it's just the maps and gameplay were solid

the ability to play a match in those game today is super bad

[sterile jolt]

Just play it's goated

[wispy summit]

soo I wont notice much?

[atomic frost]

you will if you shoot someone it takes 0.3 seconds for hin to take dmg. if he moves you shoot behind him, so you dont deal dmg

generally high ping is bad

[atomic frost]

the best still active modern bf title is BFV imo

[scenic elm]

4 is fine

The only issue i've ever had with 4 was getting banned from a server for no reason

And in EU You can easily find servers for BF4 on PC

[atomic frost]

the only bad thing added was the fliegerfaust

[scenic elm]

I think the fligerfaust is fine

[atomic frost]

there was no reason to add it

[scenic elm]

To be honest

Static AA gets vaporized by good pilots

[atomic frost]

in generall lock on rockoets or in the case of bfv the fliegerfaust makes it so annoying to play planes/helos

[atomic frost]

yes, thats the point

[scenic elm]

If your a bad pilot and no AA tank is free the fligerfaust is the only option

[scenic elm]

Shame how fighters that are not fully upgraded strugle to damage bombers

[atomic frost]

thats why you need a team that cares and does its job. not everyone is supposed to/ be able to destroy everything

that makes vehicles useless

[scenic elm]

How so ?

[atomic frost]

same with the recoilles in bf2042 and the guided rocket

everyone can destroy any vehicle with ease, no threat in them anymore

look at early bfv or bf 1

[umbral current]

Bro what

Just yapping

[scenic elm]

I don't play 2042 so idk how it is down there

In BFV ground vehicles are quite surviveble

(Unless an enemy aircraft is farming you)

[atomic frost]

yes

bit planes are not

[scenic elm]

Yea you can destroy them if they fly in to your effective range

How ever

Fighters have rockets

And if the pilot is good they can fire them from beyond your effective range

[atomic frost]

i mean yeah, it is doable. but in bf2042 you are just damned, you can lock on at any range constantly

[fast sphinx]

Does anyone wanna play operations or conquest/domination? I play on ps5 got mic

[scenic elm]

In 2042 i ment BFV

Two very diffrent games

[atomic frost]

one os balamced the other os not

no threat in vehicles in 3042

*2042

[prime pine]

There is a definite threat of vehicles in 2042.

[proud elm]

Soon™ <t:1738598400:R>

[prime pine]

Their checks are busted but so are the vehicles themselves.

If it wasn't for Lis vehicles wouldn't need an APS.

*AMS

No wait I was right APS LOL

Fucking mechwarrior actually messed me up.

[scenic elm]

Does it work like in bf4 ?

So eating all rockets , shells , bombs for like 5 seconds

[prime pine]

Yeah.

AMS works exactly like it did in bf4 except in 2042 it lasts for quite a bit.

can I stop saying AMS it's APS LOL

[scenic elm]

Oh god

I hate it in BF4

I know its a skill issue

But I hate it

💀

[prime pine]

Skill issue is so fucking annoying it's killed all semblance of discussion.

No. I've been thinking about it for quite a bit.

It messes with combat quite a bit. To become immune to rockets.

In bf4 it doesn't last a long time but enough to help to some degree.

[scenic elm]

I think they added it because of how squishy the tanks in BF3 where

I know why it needs to exist

But I don't like the mechanic

[atomic frost]

it should matter where and how you hit

[prime pine]

Tanks can easily be suppressed but be absolute monsters when unchallenged.

[atomic frost]

the thing is in 2042 for example if i get killed by a tank me and my duo just swap to launchers and kill it

[scenic elm]

Well thats the nature of the beast in every battlefield

[atomic frost]

in bfv you couldnt do that that easiöy

i wont even talk abput planes

[prime pine]

The PIAT in bf5 was great.

[fathom pebble]

[atomic frost]

if you are a good pilot in bfv you are rewarded plently, in bf2042 you are just damn no matter what

[scenic elm]

Best launcher

[atomic frost]

also in bfv the limited ammo

that was the best addition ever

[scenic elm]

I think it was cool

[prime pine]

Attrition never really benefitted anything, Just served to make portions of the game more annoying.

It was really only well done on planes especially on the pacific theatre cause it meant planes stayed by their sides.

[scenic elm]

I think the ammo and health stations where a good adition

And building

[prime pine]

That was a nice part at least.

To not rely on teammates.

[atomic frost]

yes, vehicles need to be stronger but habe to have there ammo limited

[scenic elm]

In BF1 No one EVER Brings ammo

[atomic frost]

but that does not mean they need to change it

people just need to do something and not just sit and shoot

if you play conquest oder dth just capture and defend

[scenic elm]

Even in BFV tanks camp

[atomic frost]

people need to fill their role

[prime pine]

Limited repair and ammo really hurt tanks in the long run. It's fun shelling infantry with 20 shells but when your dumbass fucking teammates don't build the station and you have to constantly go back due to every little bit of damage then you know it's a bad system.

[scenic elm]

Worse still on brakethrogh

[prime pine]

It just incentivised a crappy playstyle of camping and sitting back even more.

[atomic frost]

its not a bad system its bad players

same wirh medics

in every game

medics only play medics because they can heal themselfs

[scenic elm]

Good tankers can still be agressive in V

[atomic frost]

if you habe a mate thats wirh you, you will dominate

[scenic elm]

Unless a plane is farming you on Mercury

[granite wyvern]

Also for the SMGs and quick revives

[atomic frost]

90% of medics dont revive

thats sad

[prime pine]

Relying on your teammates in a battlefield game is the worst thing you can do.

[granite wyvern]

You are exaggerating

[scenic elm]

Its funny how in BFV i get revived more then in 1 even tho the medic is more of a longer-mid range class in 1

[atomic frost]

isnt that what bf is about

why are there roles to fill etc

noone cares about anything, they sit in some random ass spots do nothing, neither capturing, reviving goving ammo

[granite wyvern]

That’s why I always play with friends

[atomic frost]

10 out of 32 in yout team do stuff

[prime pine]

A system that makes you rely on your teammates more is genuinely a bad system when half the playerbase doesn't even know that alternate specialist gadgets exist.

[scenic elm]

That moment when half your team are scouts

[atomic frost]

last week i had 3 people who were constantly sniping the best had 7/29kd

so thats 3 people already adding nothing to your team

and then there are those 10 people stand somewhere shooting and killing a few

[prime pine]

Bf5 made that system worse and if you wanted to play the game normally (Always being able to heal to full health) medic was the way to go.

[atomic frost]

and ~5 people actually care about winning

[granite wyvern]

Look on the bright side - if what you say is true, both teams have the same disadvantage

[scenic elm]

Brakethrogh/operations atacker team starter pack

[prime pine]

I mained support to bits.

I had to rely on those stupid stations more than I should have.

[atomic frost]

i also played medictop 5 every game just because of the healing, support and building

[granite wyvern]

I play medic around 50% of the time

[atomic frost]

i remember on Fjell, we were a 4man swuad, loosing hard. then we locked in and turned it around and won, only because we stood on the objectives and not next to them

[atomic frost]

yes, and if i get bullied by a tank i switch kill it and go by my day

[prime pine]

Just be bomber main.

[granite wyvern]

I play Assault on most maps with tanks (apart from Devastation)

[atomic frost]

if i get a plane yes for sure

twisted steel carpet bombing

80player kill streak

let me see if i have the clip

the scoreboard so to say

damn, lightshot(screenshot program) does not save for 5 years o.o

[prime pine]

Thats a bit of a long time ahaha

[atomic frost]

reality just hit me

[prime pine]

Yeah I found some old screenshots from four years ago. I feel like that me was a raging dumbass lmao

[scenic elm]

I usualy play 3 out of the 4 , rarely scout

On all maps

Assault and support if your pushing it can both Hunt tanks

The AT grenade pistol is no PIAT But if there is a will there is a way

[dark swift]

hey guys am i doing something wrong in BF1, i tried to find servers and all the aussie servers are empty and on supply drop only, feels odd, BF1 is still a popular game

[granite wyvern]

The only time I play scout is with Trench Carbine

[scenic elm]

The bolt action rifles are not Bad But the carbine is great

And The DMR's are giga cancer

I love being two taped across the map

[granite wyvern]

Repair tool kill FTW

[tropic vortex]

Not popular with only 45 viewers on twitch

[scenic elm]

Hell yea

The heavy tanks are screwed if you get close

[prime pine]

PC OCE bf1 is pretty dead.

Sorry to say.

[dark swift]

well that sucks, i loved that one, BFV is plenty active tho

so at least we still have that

[prime pine]

Bf5 OCE... Yeah

I played a bit on PC. I was done with that within a single day.

[dark swift]

yeah haha, i still play it for general fun but its just not bf1

[prime pine]

Xbox bf5 OCE is in itself terrible and somehow PC upped that like fuck that.

[teal fractal]

It depends on time of day

Im pretty certain oce has 1-3 servers

Where they actively play on

But they are kinda sweated

[teal fractal]

💀

Pc bf5 is actually unbearable idk why so many players play it

[tropic folio]

it's not bad

[limber bough]

It's really bad

[prime pine]

If I were in a different region I wouldn't have a skewed perception to be fair.

[sharp oyster]

my bf1 does not want to launch I tried reinstalling deleting the settings folder nothing helpedd the splash screen loads then it turns off ea app flickers and turns off too

help ?

it was running propely before

I just want to play it

gosh darn it

and where can I get some help about that issue

[teal fractal]

Idk eu isnt very great, prolly easier than oce but not by much, evening games its usually clans hardstacking dice servers with 5-8 people 4-5 kpm each its unplayable

Either that or get cheaters killing lobbies midday

🙏

[undone olive]

Battlefield 2025 Has A Trailer Soon...

[prime pine]

Clans stacking games wow what a surprise huh

[teal fractal]

Doesnt happen in older titles

Bf1 and 4 balance them

Idk about 3 but prolly the same

5 they just cancer and stat farm in random dice servers its cringe

[tropic vortex]

I spent a couple months on mobile games and it's a sad experience

If you're out and about switch is the way to go

[limber bough]

Oh yes it does

[left wolf]

Trailers usually drop around May and June

[prime pine]

3 hours left yeah?

I need to head to sleep.

[proud elm]

Soon™ > June > Boom

[prime pine]

Gonna be fun to wake up to.

[proud elm]

yarp 3 hours

[dusty otter]

but what if 'community' they mean a very small and specific group of creators they hand selected

[dusty otter]

[toxic minnow]

Why's chat are not active on discord

[chilly flax]

3 hours

[atomic frost]

they prbl just announce that they are testing it and it is in development

thats it

and release late 2025

no more infos

for sure

isnt every game the biggest and most ambitious project

[proud elm]

I doubt we'll get any gameplay tbh, it's most likely a pre-recorded vid explaining how the CTP will work and what we should expect etc and hopefully a date for it to go live

[atomic frost]

look at apple or samsung for example "The BEST camera EVER on iphone.."

same thing

some rendered images if even

they have playtests running for a while they said

nothing

got leaked noting

kinda suspicous

ngl

no pictures

no nothing

[proud elm]

Just look at clips from BF1 CTE, it will likely be just the same

but we'll find out in <t:1738598400:R>

[kindred sail]

in short you got a program on your pc which interferes with the anti cheat

check this thread

https://forums.ea.com/discussions/battlefield-franchise-discussion-en/bf1-for-pc-doesnt-start-after-ea-anticheat-update/6791833

[cunning light]

as an idea there are 2/3 stages to game development, pre-production, which is responsible for crafting out the game elements, what will be in it, prototyping etc, (sometimes a middle stage between this for server stuff) and production where all the settled attributes in pre-production are agreed, in reality the game will have been in development for 3-4 years

[toxic minnow]

When add categories on discord

[proud elm]

https://tenor.com/view/job-interview-gif-25758472

[proud elm]

my guess

[prime pine]

With them working just on 4 consoles I hope this won't be a fucking mess development wise.

[quasi zodiac]

Are there admins on [DICE] servers on bf1? I just got kicked by salty admin 😦

[gleaming quarry]

If they are starting playtests soon, and they state that they wont have NDA, ETC...I would expect them to show something about the next game TBH. Not necessarily gameplay, but something like in game renders of white box map, vehicles, ETC.

[proud elm]

likely a community run server

[quasi zodiac]

yea maybe i misread, it did say Admin (website) kicked me, i was top fragging and rezzing a ton of teammates not sure if it was salt or some other reason

[limber bough]

It's always salt

[gleaming quarry]

I dont think they would do a massive public announcement of playtests like this, if they were going to enforce a strict NDA

"We are doing playtests, look at this guys...BTW, you cant share anything you see"

[prime pine]

Playtests at sites are certainly happening but you know. There's a reason they're protected with an NDA.

[quasi zodiac]

Really puts a sour taste in my mouth, not the first time me or my friends have been kicked by a fragile ego admin

well it is what it is

[gleaming quarry]

They probably think you are hacking

[livid bay]

I can see it happening. It’s all about hype

[dusty otter]

It's been in dev since early 2022 at the least

[livid bay]

They might release some more info, but I doubt we’ll hear anything specific besides “game good” or “game bad”

[prime pine]

Hate to say. They're not entitled to share us anything.

[gleaming quarry]

Battlefield needs to (As they themselves stated) "Get the community back onboard". I just dont see how NDA'd playtests achieves this

[livid bay]

Remember, 2042 was “a love letter to the fans”

Don’t trust the marketing team

[gleaming quarry]

No, Portal was

[dusty otter]

Well, some of the community includes creators so technically it would

[gleaming quarry]

Portal being the best part of 2042...including having a server browser...I cant say they were exactly wrong

We will see at 5PM today anyways, as Kevin said...no more need for speculation

[prime pine]

Honestly I can forgive a bunch of things as long as we have persistent servers and a server browser.

[quasi zodiac]

And somehow the guy dropping hard R doesn't get kicked ahahah, maybe he was the admin

Ah yes the revolutionary feature

[dusty otter]

All of those are legacy features bro

[quasi zodiac]

Nah man that's being entitled

[gleaming quarry]

Next game not even announced and people already acting like this, hopeless community lol

[dusty otter]

calm down those brutal expectations
