[quasi zodiac]

Just friendly banter, i just hope they don't follow the trend of leaving the burden of optimization on DLSS/AI bs

[gleaming quarry]

DLSS barely ever affected performance

the game was entirely CPU bottlenecked

[dusty otter]

I mean they kind of have a right to feel like this. But I do have hope with Sirland at the helm

We can discuss distraction and the other stuff later I just want foundations nailed

[prime pine]

I do have a bit of hope that they'll learn but I've seen thinking like this since bf5.

[dusty otter]

BFV like smooth gameplay

[quasi zodiac]

This might be a bit of a hot take around here but I really prefer BF5's gunplay system over the other battlefields

[prime pine]

I'm trying to act in a good faith but fuck me i wish I could have some certainty.

[quasi zodiac]

Kinda frustrating to play medic in BF1 and even when spacing shots it all misses because of a RNG system

[prime pine]

Spread is fine but it needs to be made more aware of.

[dusty otter]

Yeah I hope it's closer to that. No tac sprint bs like in 2042. It just made it feel clunky

[quasi zodiac]

Gunplay and movement imo, lacked in other aspects unfortunately

[gleaming quarry]

Its not like the people who actually built 2042 didnt know these things, nor want them in the game at its launch.

Its the higher ups, those likely not even with EA/DICE anymore who made the decision that made Launch 2042 what it was, and decided it was acceptable to launch in that state.

But its those who rebuilt it to a decent game who sit here and hear all this crap. You think some exec is sitting on discord reading comments slating their game, na.

[dusty otter]

I mean that happened with BFV too no? It's why Sirland left later on originally

It's why people as a whole don't view DICE with optimism right now. And they have a right too. Sirland literally said that himself to Enders.

They need to show 'results' over 'promises'

[prime pine]

Really that's my concern with the higher ups.

They have the final say with the lot of shit. I hope to fuck sirland has enough power to at least to resist the enshittification.

I try to be positive but god fuck.

[dusty otter]

I'm really not expecting some flashy new reinvent the wheel kind of thing with this one. And I hope they kept that mentality when making this.

[gleaming quarry]

When it comes to Battlefield, the highest up right now seems to be Vince Zampella. Who has lots of experience, and I have a good deal of faith that they can lead the franchise back to success. Other things are a big positive also, like the experience earned from re-building 2042 for the devs, and the return of people like David Sirland

[dusty otter]

Because they really do like doing that, every subsequent release..

[prime pine]

When they show good results that's when i will start believing them they can do right again.

[dusty otter]

It's an actual word

[prime pine]

Yeah Google's the definition of it.

[dusty otter]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification

[frozen rune]

Yep. The fine line between innovating a working formula and alienating it. Often times, it's the latter

[prime pine]

If there's one positive i can say. I heard under Vince things have been a lot better.

There was another one who did well.

So let's hope hey?

[frozen rune]

btw, if you launch BFV right now there is the message for "Battlefield Labs" but the QR code sends you to a 404 error. Assuming the website will open with the announcement today

I might be late on this one

[prime pine]

Cause that's all I have.

[dusty otter]

Zampella worked on MOH and COD, those aren't Battlefield. I hope the philosophies of those games don't seep into BF

[frozen rune]

[prime pine]

Oh huh

[prime pine]

Better than Alan kurtz.

[gleaming quarry]

Apex, Titanfall 1 and 2. All beloved games.

[prime pine]

Keep in mind he worked on titanfall too.

[quasi zodiac]

Great movement and gunplay, seems promising

[prime pine]

Sirland brought bf4 back as well. That's one hell of a resume.

[gleaming quarry]

The good OG CODs that everyone is nostalgic about

[dusty otter]

Those aren't Battlefield either though. But it's clear he has plenty of shooter experience in general and ships actual complete products on launch(DICE could really use this), so on that premise alone I trust him

[prime pine]

Just a theory but he left during bf5 most likely because of Alan kurtz' shit.

Who in himself has been a...

Problem.

[dusty otter]

His last one was mw2 the original, yeah

[gleaming quarry]

They arent, but he isnt personally building Battlefield. Those are proof of their ability to create a vision, and deliver a competent game

Probs best to not discuss past devs by name, or potential grievances with them

[frozen rune]

I can't post an image but Reddit also noticed so,there you go : https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1igp80j/saw_this_after_booting_up_bf4_looks_like_the/

[prime pine]

Hurray

[gleaming quarry]

Get those QR codes ready to scan as soon as they go live lmao

[dusty otter]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1igp80j/saw_this_after_booting_up_bf4_looks_like_the/

[dim canopy]

for campaign i think his philosophies will be perfect about all out warfare if we got old dice devs thats great

[frozen rune]

oh yeah the website will explode lol

[dusty otter]

Embedded for you

[frozen rune]

love you

Initial testing for NA / EU

3rd line on the image "North America and Europe" for the first waves of testing - assuming they will open up the 'Labs' as things goes

[prime pine]

Pfft

[frozen rune]

I was about to tag you

I'm sorry Way

[gleaming quarry]

I mean, you hardly expected them to run Playtests in OCE haha

[frozen rune]

[dusty otter]

BF6 colorscheme confirmed too?

Reddish orange

[prime pine]

How do I word it lol

OCE is always forgotten so I shouldn't be surprised.

[dusty otter]

I mean you could vpn in I guess.

[gleaming quarry]

If youre outside the EU, or have a ping that exceeds their test requirements...you'll probably be asked to leave, or be kicked

[prime pine]

I know there are playtests happening in my country which is why it's all the more insulting.

[frozen rune]

Oh yeah, been like that since the first concept art

very reminiscent of 2042 style tho...

[atomic frost]

what does one need to do to join the upcoming playtest?

[gleaming quarry]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[prime pine]

But honestly to be treated like a second fiddle it's normal.

[frozen rune]

but it's like modern UI/UX thingy so we'll see

[prime pine]

No one knows shit.

[gleaming quarry]

Wait til they announce > sign up if you qualify

[prime pine]

We'll wait about the official announcement.

[atomic frost]

hm

[dusty otter]

Gives off BF3 vibes kinda yeah

I hope they lean more into that

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CSvL6vlBlTE/maxresdefault.jpg

The aesthetic went hard

[frozen rune]

For the last concept art shown, I said yesterday that it gives strong Teheran x Aftermath DLC vibes

The more it ressembles BF3, the happiest

[dusty otter]

modern day is all they said

Likely not future/near future like 2042, that's for sure

[gleaming quarry]

Blue tint ✅
Blinding sun ✅
Suppression - TBD

[atomic frost]

2000s would be cool, but yeah they said modern day

[frozen rune]

Incredible voice acting - TBD

[dusty otter]

we need to bring back the blue tint and excessive lens flare in gaming

[frozen rune]

Let's bring the yellow tint from that PS3 era

the piss filter

[junior wagon]

We need metro 😞

[atomic frost]

[atomic frost]

looks like mexico in most movies

[junior wagon]

Both are good

[frozen rune]

the Breaking Bad 'Mexico' filter

[atomic frost]

yeah exactly

[dusty otter]

I scanned the qr code

Unsurprisingly it leads to a 404

But they'll probably have that lead to the 'BF labs' site

[atomic frost]

but it still connects to the url

[dusty otter]

yeah

[atomic frost]

so it "exists"

[frozen rune]

[dusty otter]

[frozen rune]

[atomic frost]

[frozen rune]

DICE

where's the pre-order button

[atomic frost]

true true, i want my 1 year pass like in 2042 where i can not play because of glitches

ou

yeah

[frozen rune]

[atomic frost]

i wish the camo challenges like in bfv returns, kill 10 players in one life on an objectives with headshots

[frozen rune]

Never bothered, camos were mega ugly in BFV (imo)

[blazing root]

plz no ... horrible stuff it was.

[atomic frost]

but it was really rewarding to unlock a part of the gun in gold

it was a challenge

i liked it

in 2042 its dogshit

ngl

and those skins look worse

[frozen rune]

Camos were also ulgy there too (imo) but the "challenges" ...yeah. I would prefer a middle ground

nothing dumbed down, but nothing like some of those BFV crazy challenges

[atomic frost]

a bit easier then in bfv but with the same concept

not 10 with headshot on objective in one life

mby jsut5

[frozen rune]

make it teamplay oriented / objectives oriented and then we're gucci

[atomic frost]

or 3

[frozen rune]

the moment it becames some sort of absurd playstyle type of challenge, i'm out

[atomic frost]

a bit of a challenge is a must

[frozen rune]

[granite wyvern]

Nah, give me straight forward get 3,000 kills with whatever gun to turn gold.

[atomic frost]

nah thats shit

[granite wyvern]

No, killing 10 people hopping on one leg blind folded is shit

[gleaming quarry]

If you make all challenges avoid kill based challenges as part of them, you equally make them boring.

[atomic frost]

then remove the hopping on one leg part

there has to be some kind of "challenge" to make it rewarding to unlock

[granite wyvern]

People just want to play their game (not lie down etc)

[atomic frost]

i dont want to gun down 3k people just to make my gun red

[frozen rune]

I liked simpler times back in CoD4 : get headshots and voila

[granite wyvern]

Shows your dedication to the gun 🙂

[atomic frost]

i want to make 3 headshot kills in one life to make it red

yeah, but it doesnt show that you actually achieved sth with it

[gleaming quarry]

Most people just cheese those types of challenges anyways

[livid bay]

I wish they’d bring back the camos from 4. It was neat to be able to choose from like 40 different unlockable camos

[atomic frost]

for bf, i want some "realistic" stuff not like in cod where everything is weird af

2042 took a completly wrong turn

[granite wyvern]

Jumping through hoops and not playing your natural play style is not an achievement - it’s acting like a trained dog

[frozen rune]

Simpler times. And I would like to apply camos depending on the maps. Let's say I want my snow camo on a snow map, imagine if you could select that beforehand, maybe in some sort of 'map loadout' idk

[atomic frost]

thats why they are challenges not, time based unlocks

no?

[livid bay]

As in, the different actual camo types like the autumn, desert, naval, snow, urban, etc

[granite wyvern]

I just like to play my game

[atomic frost]

yes, like in bfv with your colthing

[frozen rune]

kinda but you can choose it per map

that'd be neat

[junior wagon]

Will there be a server browser in the game?

[livid bay]

Yeah. It was actually useful a good amount of times. Would be cool to have it per-map

[granite wyvern]

I hope so

[livid bay]

Hopefully

[atomic frost]

you dont need those special challenge camos then,

[atomic frost]

just let me choose it ingame

[granite wyvern]

I got them anyway 😖

[frozen rune]

BF4 style yeah, simple and clean UI. Vertical list with a good amount of choice and selection with a preview on the right

[atomic frost]

there are some people out there who like to go out their way and do some actuall "challenges"

[granite wyvern]

The challenge is to always be getting better

[atomic frost]

thats basically bfv only in a different style

[atomic frost]

i want to see it somehow

[granite wyvern]

That’s what the stat sites are for

[atomic frost]

i want to be reminded that it took me 10 hours for the sight to be gold

https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Battlefield_V_Assignments#Special_Assignments

those were basically, play the game and mby get them sometime

or go out of your way that 1 or 2 matches and get that challenge done

its either for Assault mastery 3 get 10kills in one life or get 60 objective kills

[frozen rune]

'Battlelog will return ...'

[livid bay]

Imo the ui is one of the things that isn’t really that important but will really show if they do it right.

They need to get away from the current trend of website-like UIs in games. Nobody wants 20 different screens for a system that used to be in 5

[frozen rune]

BF4 did so many things right. The UI/UX was one fo them. Clean, simple, customizable HUD with lots of options, SQUAD CAM PREVIEW (please DICE). I hate the trend of 'modern' UIs as well.

Maybe it lacked 'style' since it was mostly white outlines and so on. But it was clean

[grave rune]

I thought bf4 felt more like a dlc to bf3

I actually enjoyed bf3 more , the dlc of bf3 was better

[frozen rune]

BF3 is peak

[livid bay]

Imo the best part about 4’s style was how “realistic” it felt. Like, you could imagine the actual military using the ui design

[granite wyvern]

Never played it 😔

[livid bay]

Wasn’t able to play bf3 much, but it was good

[grave rune]

I actually hope fortifications come back

[sharp oyster]

I dont think Ive installed anything to randomly make the bf1 not work , can I somehow find out what is causing this issue ?

[grave rune]

i loved the grittyness of bf1 and how it pulled you into the world

[granite wyvern]

Wonder if they will bring back clan tags

[frozen rune]

I can agree to that

[livid bay]

Fortifications would be good, but idk how they would make it fit the theme. It fit with 5 because some soldiers actually carried shovels with them in ww2 and sandbags were very prevalent. I can’t really think of anything like them in modern times

[grave rune]

delta force has a version of it

[atomic frost]

[grave rune]

its a 2042 clone with fortifications lol

[atomic frost]

makes a lot of things better then 2042

balance is not one of those things

[grave rune]

only thing i really like a bout delta force is the weapon customization

its indepth

[prime pine]

Oh keb if you're there I'm starting to play with claymores.

[atomic frost]

a bit to much for me, again the customization in bfv was sick

[prime pine]

They're real funny when you cover your flank.

[atomic frost]

go down a tree

[grave rune]

however i like the fortification system as the buildings get destroyed cover for infantry starts lacking

[frozen rune]

[timber condor]

Hello everyone 🙂

[grave rune]

bad company 2 prime example of blowing up everything on map and infantry have no where to hide

[granite wyvern]

Plus a way to gain extra points when capping an uncontested flag

[frozen rune]

That's it Way, you are DISAVOWED

[timber condor]

you know if there is a live or if it's just press releases ?

[grave rune]

dunno

[frozen rune]

(claymores are fun, I used them on some campers that pissed me off )

[timber condor]

thanks

[atomic frost]

imagine, its just gonna be a blog, update on the development

[jaunty sand]

man i hate random bullet spread sm bruh

[grave rune]

my wishlist for the next game is movement of bfv, fortifications, gunplay of bf3, community servers, and squad lock vehicles lol

[prime pine]

@frozen rune

[jaunty sand]

just die bc my ar decided a bullet should go elsewhere i

[timber condor]

in 10 minutes ?

[atomic frost]

bullets should always go where the gun points at

like tarkov

[prime pine]

They're a good reactionary measure for running.

[jaunty sand]

ye

[granite wyvern]

I wish they would bring back seven rental servers (not had them since Hardline)

[jaunty sand]

hardline was fun btw

[timber condor]

ok, fine !

[prime pine]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kitty-kitten-cat-banging-head-on-wall-loop-cat-banging-head-on-wall-gif-949593721221378445

[frozen rune]

They are actually somewhat weak in 2042 compared to other games/other BF

but still good enough

[prime pine]

Yeah they're weak?

That's weird they feel pretty powerful. They do what they do.

I dunno

[timber condor]

there is already a leak.. hope the dice team is fine

is it called battlefield labs but i m not sure to talk about here

[jaunty sand]

i mean it appears when u boot up a bf game so

[granite wyvern]

https://insider-gaming.com/battlefield-labs-leaked/

[frozen rune]

I meant 'weak' in a sense that too easy to spot, often times you see the laser very easily and you can survive the damage depending on your momentum

they'll still blow your ass up if not paying attention

[jaunty sand]

but idk about battlefield labs theres a good chance theyll just ignore and do whatever.. again

[storm marlin]

Tom Henderson says we will see gameplay

[grave rune]

i actually have hope for the series because David

[livid bay]

The url that the “leak” leads to isn’t even up yet. All that was revealed was the name and a little description

[grave rune]

he came back to dice

[jaunty sand]

oh shid

[grave rune]

he was the reason we had cte

in bf4

[frozen rune]

it's not a 'leak'

[jaunty sand]

ye

[balmy grail]

I really hope they bring back battlelog

[jaunty sand]

just let it be a good game inshallah

no attack helis pls

[frozen rune]

just the official greetings message a bit too early when launching a BF game right now (BF4/BF1/BFV). The QR code works but the website is still 'hidden'

[jaunty sand]

i hope they announce theyre updating bf5 again

[frozen rune]

it's just a...little happy incident

[jaunty sand]

(they will never)

[prime pine]

I just purposely make it so that when the enemy turns they run into it.

[jaunty sand]

bf5 is unironically the best bf game

[prime pine]

Even if a tiny bit shows out to most people it shouldn't show.

[jaunty sand]

i hate attack heli sweats nuking servers

[grave rune]

no

[frozen rune]

diabolical

[grave rune]

learn to counter them

[urban canopy]

10-15 seconds of gameplay is nice

[hazy swallow]

is it going to be live or just a video if yes where

[grave rune]

good pilots are rare lol

[jaunty sand]

i dont like flying jets

[grave rune]

good gunners with tv missiles even more

[jolly fog]

How many hours exactly from now?

[jaunty sand]

u can reliably take out air (in bf4 at least) with at least 2 infantry

[balmy grail]

Not a fan? I enjoyed being able to go through all my stats and change my stuff just from my phone

And the leaderboards and stuff

[jaunty sand]

ye those were fun

[prime pine]

I blame thinking of six siege.

I remember an old clip of matimio covering a flank he did with a claymore. It didn't do anything but I thought hey let's be smart with aggressive claymore.

And here I am with tier 1 claymore.

[jaunty sand]

wonder if this next game is gonna be modern or old

surely it wont be a noticeable futureistic game

how can u tell

[balmy grail]

It’d be cool if the control points actually did things. Like a recon point, or artillery, etc

[jaunty sand]

o cool

[frozen rune]

Never played Siege actually

[tropic vortex]

It's bad

[jaunty sand]

aint missing out on much these days

i wouldnt hold my breath on halo

343 have had the series longer than bungie n havent produced 1 good video game

when

hw2 is a downgrade from hw1 imo

halo 4 had a good story but the artstyle change, sound design, and multiplayer holds it back from being a good game imo

halo 5 had a shitty story but fun mp

infinite had a nothing story and empty mp

[storm marlin]

They announced it a few months ago. It’s modern day.

[jaunty sand]

the mp had the shittiest code ever for the first 2 years

desync was insane

plus no content

so gg

[carmine jetty]

heyyo, in the tweet for today's announcement it just says tune in but there are no links. Where do you think they'll announce it? Over another tweet?

[jaunty sand]

the campaign was cool but nothing rly happened in it

most lore rich halo ring and they somehow made it nothing

[grave rune]

phone integration would be fine but i dont want a browser open while i play

[jaunty sand]

ye i mean it fs has its cool moments

agree

just wish they had more into it

bc in infinite the banished was just red covenant

didnt rly play any different

but hopefully halo 7 or whatever they call it theyll finally have somthing solid

[gleaming quarry]

Wonder when Halo games come to PS5.

[jaunty sand]

idk

xbox has given sony 2 of their games so far and sony hasnt given anything in return

i would like helldivers or GoT or somthing cool

[light goblet]

Imagine if the next battlefield is worse than 2042

[tropic vortex]

Sure give us Elder scrolls bud

[storm marlin]

Battlefield 3 teaser was on Feb 3

[light goblet]

No . Then you have to give us the last of us and spiderman to even it out

[tropic vortex]

[jaunty sand]

skull emoji

[autumn dragon]

Does anyone know where they will announce Battlefield 6?

[jaunty sand]

chill jit ps has every es game out rn

except morrowind i think

and nobody cares about the ones that came before that

and es6 isnt coming out

[light goblet]

Not until 2030 lmao

Fuck Bethesda

[grave rune]

get a pc you wont have that problem

[light goblet]

Starfield opened my eyes to how shit they actually are

[jaunty sand]

starfield was so mid it makes me sad

i wouldnt even say its bad its just mid

[light goblet]

It was quite literally the worst empty dog shit excuse for a RPG ever made

[jaunty sand]

mods cant fix inherent flaws w the game

[shy yacht]

cool €60 to install user generated content to enjoy the game

[light goblet]

The games so bad that even the modders are quitting

Don't get your hopes up for anything other than small quality of life mods

[jaunty sand]

lots of cool concepts but not executed well

[fathom pebble]

I wonder if people remember BF4 when it released

[jaunty sand]

(unplayable)

[fathom pebble]

first year of that game was cursed

literally any other BF release was better than that

[grave rune]

it was same state bf2042 was in

[shy yacht]

worst launch into best finish

[light goblet]

2042 isn't comparable to 4 ... 2042 to this day is the absolute worst fps game ever conceived and battlefield 4 as of now is one of the best fps of all time

[fathom pebble]

not even close

[grave rune]

it was unplayable for the first 2 weeks

[fathom pebble]

there was so many server issues, collision problems, so many bugs and even so many network problems lmao. First year of BF4 was one of the worse I had to witness, good it turned well in the end

[shy yacht]

bf4 and cyberpunk were 2 of the worst launches ever

[jaunty sand]

every bf game had that since 4 lol

[grave rune]

bf4 should have been dlc to bf3

[light goblet]

Not to mention the fact the devs are payed less than Chinese sweat shop workers ... We get absolutely no content

[shy yacht]

no mans sky was bad but that wasnt just performance

[jaunty sand]

nms is awesome now

[exotic kernel]

ppl hated the game

[shy yacht]

no it was fine on its own, Hardline shoukd have been dlc for 4

[barren cloud]

Cyberpunk was just really bad on lower end hardware

[grave rune]

cte saved 4

[light goblet]

And now the publishers for battlefield are so delusional they are pretty much gonna turn battlefield into cod

They've always looked at call of duty and fortnite with jealousy

[grave rune]

bf4 only had levolution and the dlc did not compare to 3

[jaunty sand]

i just want franchises to have soul again

[shy yacht]

no it wasnt it was so broken and even after all the updates still unplayable without dlss, its good now but only bc dlss exists

[light goblet]

You would need a time machine for that

[jaunty sand]

to the workshop

[shy yacht]

ill agree 3 had the better dlc, aftermath was amazing

[grave rune]

i hope broken flir/thermal optics wont come back

3 also had the better gameplay

[light goblet]

I just hope they know that 2042 was their last chance and if the next battlefield is bad then battlefield is dead forever

[verbal bone]

Did someone say hardline?

[jaunty sand]

like on vehicles or gun scopes

[shy yacht]

i dont think 3s gameplay was that different to 4s

[barren cloud]

I was playing it pretty well, just characters were buggy and moving around, and I had no Nvidia GPU

[light goblet]

Delta force is cool

[grave rune]

broken on 4

[jaunty sand]

bf3 gameplay blue filter bf4 gameplay no filter

[shy yacht]

i do like it more bc i like the maps and weapons in 3 more than 4 and the "levolution" gimmick sucks

[barren cloud]

Delta Force just ain't it, it's passable

[shy yacht]

BF3 with mods that removed the filters was gorgeous

[jaunty sand]

its just 2042 if it was somehow a bit worse

[light goblet]

Everything right now is mid at best ... Slop for slop

So fucking tired of it

[verbal bone]

No clue how people turned to DF when it’s literally just 2042 except a bit more polished on launch.

[grave rune]

its a 2042 copycat with better weapon customization and fortifications

[light goblet]

And then if a good game comes out it dies instantly

[verbal bone]

It just haaaad to have specialists

[jaunty sand]

titanfall 3 will save gaming inshallah

[light goblet]

Just gotta move on because I can guarantee you that the best battlefield is gonna be mid at best

[barren cloud]

When they care more about weapon customization than vehicle mechanics. Everyone is just gonna copy the best build and call it a day

[grave rune]

only reason i have hope for battlefield is because David Sirland is back at dice and he was the reason 4 had the cte, he fixed 4

[light goblet]

Lmao I love how they released a poster for a new game announcement with titanfall font and it turned to be a apex update lmao

[jaunty sand]

apex isnt good i hear its rampant w connection issues and cheaters

[light goblet]

Apex is dog

[shy yacht]

i dont like weapon custimsation, it feels like every gun you get is bad until you get most of the unlocks and can tweak it, id rather it just be sights, supressors and paint so guns are good out of the box

[grave rune]

i like customizing my weapon to my play style, i like how 4 lets you use dmrs and stuff as other classes

even 2042 lets you do that

to an extent

[shy yacht]

lets go back to asymetric weapons from BF2

[jaunty sand]

2042 lets u use whatever as whatever lol

[balmy grail]

Nah I want crazy customization

[grave rune]

i would be fine with that, that game is tied with 3 as my favorite

[shy yacht]

balance nightmare bc you have to account for so many different set ups

[jaunty sand]

i liked bf4s weap balance pretty much everything was viable

[grave rune]

i also hope the at/aa guns arent super op

[exotic kernel]

bf4 and 3 had weapon customizion

[barren cloud]

I say Portal in 2042 is better than the entirety of Delta Force.

[grave rune]

it was a pain flying in 4

[shy yacht]

simple stuff, grip, barrel, sight and it was fine

[jaunty sand]

i rly hope aps doesnt come back on vehicles or is at least thought out

[grave rune]

i think they bit off more than they could chew and provide with 1 studio

[shy yacht]

"all our 2042 maps are bad what do we do" "quick recycle all the old stuff thats still good"

[grave rune]

if they had multiple studios on 2042 and bfv we would have much different games

strike at karkand is my all time favorite map

[storm marlin]

20 minutes boys

[shy yacht]

but the gunplay is 2042 gunplay

[jaunty sand]

portal is cool but it is quite shallow

[grave rune]

i hope portal comes back, its a good idea

need more polish

[jaunty sand]

fucking russians dont even get their own transport heli lol

[barren cloud]

yeah lost potential, wish people would fill good portal servers, not the 1000% dmg ones.

[shy yacht]

playing capsian border in portal with the bf3 gear is fun, its so simple

[edgy mantle]

Apologies for barging in, but for those not in Europe or North America, will we still be able to scan the QR code and get to know more information about the next battlefield without playtesting it, or will we have to wait for Youtubers to record videos of it?

[grave rune]

my community pretty much died when they nerfed the 2042 exp for portal servers

[proven widget]

okay, guys...

[grave rune]

back when the game launched

[jaunty sand]

last time i played portal i just used the a10 and obliterated everyone

[proven widget]

where do I "tune in"?

[exotic kernel]

prob yt or twitch

[chilly flax]

it will be under NDA, so no videos

[grave rune]

we will have 5 -10 min video with 15 -30 secs of gameplay

[proven widget]

there's no scheduled video or livestream there.

[barren cloud]

I hope they nail the graphics as well

[jaunty sand]

ill jusr wait for jackfrags or smth to make a vid on it

[chilly flax]

10-15 sec of gameplay

[atomic frost]

wrong, a post and concept art

[exotic kernel]

just a guess im not sure

[proven widget]

on YouTube at least.

[tropic folio]

graphics are the least of our concerns

[urban canopy]

Better than nothing I guess

[atomic frost]

facts

[grave rune]

they leaked it on bf4

[barren cloud]

Battlefield can have both, it did so in the past

[grave rune]

battlefield labs

[jaunty sand]

i hope the game looks decent at least tho

[grave rune]

[tropic folio]

battlefield has never really dropped the ball when it comes to graphics, i dunno why we'd be worried now

[shy yacht]

give me the stellar audio fidelity from bf3/4/1 and im happy

[jaunty sand]

if the graphics suck it can make seeing enemies at a distance hard sometimes

[grave rune]

https://i.redd.it/e2dw62e5gxge1.jpeg

[tropic folio]

nope

[shy yacht]

i want dice to destroy EVEN MORE microphones

[jaunty sand]

true

bf1 graphics pls

[edgy mantle]

hot take but I'd want the next bf game to be more war torn, gritty, brutal and visceral, moreso in the vein of BF1 but in a modern setting rather to a BF3 or BF4 type of atmosphere

[tropic folio]

art style and direction i agree, but not graphical fidelity

[shy yacht]

its so bland compared to the other titles

hard to describe but 2042 is the least appealing looking title they've made

[tropic folio]

possibly the coldest take in the community ngl

[jaunty sand]

fidelity wise 2042 is a pretty nice looking game imo

[fathom pebble]

ok I fucked up

[edgy mantle]

I wanna see more brutal executions, hear genuinely horrifying war cries and not hearing some random marine talk about how they wanna nail your sister

[barren cloud]

the grass does look nice in 2042

[shy yacht]

bring back bf3 knifing

(and dont bring back counter knifing)

[tropic folio]

this is 2042 btw

[edgy mantle]

fuck no

[fathom pebble]

<t:1738598400:R>

worked

[chilly flax]

yeah only on this map

[barren cloud]

imagine the grit if they add it

[jaunty sand]

i wouldnt mind the occasional banter between soldiers ngl

[shy yacht]

counter knife was the worst thingthey added and its self evindent bc it didnt come back after 4

[junior torrent]

Because of ping?

[shy yacht]

not ping

[grave rune]

it would piss me off lol

[edgy mantle]

That's (hopefully) the last thing on the developer's minds right now

[tropic folio]

kaleidoscope, as shit as it was, also looked this good. So did most others if you weren't playing on last gen consoles

[jaunty sand]

counter knife on its way to not work half the time plus punish the player that reacted first

[edgy mantle]

Honestly I'm concerned about the system requirements for the next game

[shy yacht]

you could have perfect ping and someone would still reverse ur knife despite not even looking at you

[tropic folio]

graphics hate is one of the most forced complaints about 2042, it looked fine. People just didn't like the style

[shy yacht]

my knife was my number 1 weapon in 3 and i barely had 100 kills with it in 4, it was a broken system that discouraged any melee

[junior torrent]

Specialist and voice acting are one of the downgraded aspects

[chilly flax]

i play on ps5 and kaleidoscope looked bad, the whole map just awful

[edgy mantle]

I've got an rtx 3070 laptop (basically a 3060 Ti desktop) and if they don't optimise the game to run on anything below 5000 series cards because dlss 4 fake frames then they're gonna lose a lot of sales

[junior torrent]

At least make melee first person, no more third person

[jaunty sand]

ye

[shy yacht]

yeah i liked how it was in 3

[grave rune]

cant really appreciate the beauty of a map until you played it on a pc

[minor leaf]

Where do we need to tune in at 5 PM?

[shy yacht]

the terror in their eyes

[jaunty sand]

bf1 melees were shaweet

[tropic folio]

that one i can't really defend lol but that's again an issue with one map not overall graphical fidelity

[atomic frost]

graphics improvements need to stop, where will it lead to? we can only keep up reasonable frames with ai, there is no optimization happening to most games

[woeful cape]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/news?setLocale=en-us

[junior torrent]

Also, what's everyone's favorite death cam?

[jaunty sand]

what do u guys think of dismemberment btw

[tropic folio]

yes

[jaunty sand]

ive heard it floating around

[edgy mantle]

big yes assuming it doesn't brick our gpus

[atomic frost]

please, yes

[chilly flax]

maybe, but i came from PC to Consoles and i like it more

[tropic folio]

tbh cpu usage is the biggest problem with 2042, i'd hope they improve on that

[jaunty sand]

id be okay with blowing a dudes legs off with an he shell ngl

[edgy mantle]

it would be cool if medics couldn't rez you if you were dismembered from a nearby grenade or a c4

[junior torrent]

Funny. My game uses more of my GPU

I got r5 3600, and RTX 2070

[grave rune]

i cant get used to consoles/controllers for fps games

[south heath]

there will never be dismemberment , Battlefield is meant to be family friendly

[edgy mantle]

it's mature rated...

[tropic folio]

suppose it depends on specs, but for me it's always been cpu heavy especially in 128p

[jaunty sand]

water and defibs are one hell of a cure man

[edgy mantle]

What settings do you play on?

[tropic folio]

insurgency has amazing dismemberment

[edgy mantle]

For bf2042

[junior torrent]

All medium

[jaunty sand]

i like insurgency

[junior torrent]

Actually no

[edgy mantle]

How much fps do you get?

[junior torrent]

Some settings are high

[fathom pebble]

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/battlefield-labs

[junior torrent]

Rest are medium

[fathom pebble]

site is up

[atomic frost]

i am a raw performance guy, so i switched to amd 7900xt/ r5 9600x, i am happy with it very crisp images. but the graphics are really cutting out my setup

[chilly flax]

i thought the same, been on pc for like 15 years, then i bought ps4 pro just for fifa, Later tried cod with my friend and now we are all on consoles. My posture is better, my back doesnt hurt anymore

[junior torrent]

From 70 up to 130

[fathom pebble]

[tropic folio]

lmao it just redirects to the ea playtesting website, hope that's not the only way to get involved

[jaunty sand]

does gb mean great britan

[fathom pebble]

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/faq

Anyways

[edgy mantle]

I think I barely get 50-60 fps on bf2042 1440p ultra I'm hoping the next game runs well lol

[grave rune]

you got the aim assist XD

[junior torrent]

And I got 1080

So, lol

[edgy mantle]

Bfv gets 120+

I don't know what's up with bf2042s optimisation

[grave rune]

i get 200-300fps

[jaunty sand]

i play on console but im p sure 2042 is just rly taxxing for some reason

[chilly flax]

well in battlefield is really low compared to COD

[grave rune]

video is up

[fathom pebble]

a lot of people trying to join it

[graceful pewter]

Bruh

[storm marlin]

Any gameplay in it?

[edgy mantle]

Nope

[storm marlin]

What the fk

[limber bough]

Some short snippets that are blurred

[edgy mantle]

It's the devs talking about what they have in mind and their overall attitude of the game

[ivory glacier]

there's gameplay at the end of the video

[solid hinge]

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

[edgy mantle]

uh oh why do the animations look similar to bf2042

[fathom pebble]

https://youtu.be/s-TJIXqnqgY?t=283

pre alpha gameplay

timesptamp

[edgy mantle]

There was an EA AI game engine demo and those used the EXACT same running animations as the battlefield pre-alpha footage

[tropic folio]

reminds me of battlefield 3, but i'll be waiting cautiously

Perhaps it's early alpha

[edgy mantle]

Several weeks ago

[limber bough]

It is pre-alpha

[frigid veldt]

▻

[foggy prairie]

For the investors call, that's correct

[solid hinge]

yooo...

just saw the gameplay snippet, looks awesome

[edgy mantle]

I love the destruction I'm seeing

[placid dew]

Looks good tbh.

[fathom pebble]

HEHEHE

[coarse plank]

THE GAMEPLAY HOLY FUCK

[main ermine]

Destruction

[tropic folio]

let's not get too excited, we all remember how good 2042 looked

[main ermine]

2042 where

[edgy mantle]

Even bf2042 showed off a bunch of destruction in the trailers

[main ermine]

its just a call up for testing

[edgy mantle]

But I'm cautiously optimistic about this one

[gleaming quarry]

Where?

[thin flax]

whats up!?

[glass sierra]

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

[junior torrent]

[thin flax]

[sturdy mural]

[edgy mantle]

I wonder if I can use a VPN to pretend like I'm in Europe and then sign up?

[solid hinge]

[sturdy mural]

[gentle owl]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-labs?isLocalized=true

[solid hinge]

i wanted to sign up for the playtest but i wouldn't be minspec lol

[barren cloud]

aye it's something, very short, but something

[gleaming quarry]

Welp, I signed up for playtesting...so lets ssee what happens.

[royal gull]

As long as the new game is more like BFV than 2042 I think it stands a chance at being good

[jaunty sand]

i also signed up

[granite wyvern]

Signed up

[nimble magnet]

Me too

[edgy mantle]

for those who signed up, do update us!

[solid hinge]

alright time for frame by frame analysis of the gameplay

[jaunty sand]

[noble grove]

[cinder lake]

Bring back specialists

[fleet palm]

I am from EU and they are saying its not available in my region

[fleet palm]

Portugal

[dusk canopy]

I signed up, completed the survey then the success page 404'd

[fading lance]

That last 10 sec clip looked like the battlefield I know and love

[fathom pebble]

Me too

[sturdy mural]

site might be overloaded

[fleet palm]

Might be a bug idk

[sterile path]

May switched to english website

[gritty star]

long queue

[edgy mantle]

Remember we said the same thing about bf2042

[tiny grove]

I Hope its more like bf1 tbh

[barren cloud]

I signed up ages ago, I hope to get in

[exotic kernel]

i alr pre ordered

[wary sigil]

that m4a1 anim was clean

[tiny grove]

I didnt

[wary sigil]

I am in your walls

[sturdy mural]

no we dident

[sturdy mural]

bf3 or 4 , not V

[edgy mantle]

I meant as in it was a return to the BF3 BF4 days

[solid hinge]

Where can i subscribe to the battlefield labs

[vapid loom]

Hey I'm here

[tropic folio]

and the cycle starts again lol, everyone falling in love with it before we even see finished gameplay

[cosmic urchin]

if it has the grit of 1 in a modern setting that would be awesome

[spice rover]

Where do we sign up for Labs?

[stiff elm]

makes me wanna preorder

[tiny grove]

Bf3 or 4 timeline, but bf5 or bf1 systems

[stiff elm]

everytime the trailer team is amazing

ugh

[edgy mantle]

don't even think about it

[wraith gale]

Im in a queue, bwwaaaaa

[vapid loom]

https://ea.arcsivr.com/Portal/Default?as-refcode=7718

[edgy mantle]

resist your temptation

[brave glacier]

Ladies and gentlemen we MIGHT be back

[cosmic urchin]

theres 0 info on the game, whats there to preorder

[dire obsidian]

Did it have campaign ?

[fleet palm]

Lets hope its just a bug🙌🏻

[tiny grove]

That would be terrific

[zealous juniper]

The bf3 music at the end is just 🤌

[sturdy mural]

refere link, nice

[fathom pebble]

whats a bug?

[dawn abyss]

Maaaan, I hope that I could play this playtest and see you all on battlefield

[strong parrot]

oh my god that highly scripted gameplay footage sculpted to activate my neurons made me totally forget the past!!

[cosmic urchin]

has gameplay even been shown yet

[wraith gale]

Yes

[edgy mantle]

Bf2042 gameplay trailer looked amazing but in reality it was a team effort to hide all the bugs in the game in that build

[sturdy mural]

at very end

[royal gull]

I mean if you want shitty Conquest and the dumb sweet spot mechanic, sure

[regal quarry]

Gameplay look rather similar to 2042 innit?
No complain though, I enjoyed 2042 gunplay

[balmy grail]

Also looked like it was campaign

[edgy mantle]

Yeah I'm seeing shocking similarities

[sturdy mural]

who knows

[fathom pebble]

I'll do you the favor https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/938194487618969650/1336004318037278730/BF.mp4?ex=67a23a7b&is=67a0e8fb&hm=d39db95818921a1571363b10813337a7072621ef6a835082e62498ad5f072693&

[sturdy mural]

it has gotten better

[west bramble]

Battlefield theme is back

[cosmic urchin]

thanks, but wow thats nothing lmao

[empty lava]

we got campaign back 😍

[regal quarry]

Yeah, hopefully it doesn't also come with the ahem issues of 2042 but give us the good stuff of 2042

[cosmic urchin]

time to preorder because i saw an animation of a building

[fringe dust]

DU DUN DUN DUN

[fathom pebble]

you'll eventually see more

[dawn abyss]

There are questions about campaign in Playtest form, so there is a chance 😉

[fathom pebble]

go sign up for the BF Labs

[blazing whale]

don't know what to think about it tbh

[bleak mango]

How Can we play it earlier?

[jolly fog]

[cosmic urchin]

hopefull half of the game isnt missing on launch, all chat, scoreboard ect ect

[jaunty sand]

not the biggest fan of the animations in the gameplay ngl

[rustic basin]

its pre alpha im amazed we even got that tbh

[edgy mantle]

I feel like this game would be more of a bf2042.5 but much better and with a solid formula unlike bf2042

[jaunty sand]

0 recoil rpg and stiff fps sprint anim

[regal quarry]

Aha haha, hopefully mate, hopefully...!

[edgy mantle]

Judging from how the gameplay looks so far

[solid hinge]

Gameplay is soooo good!

[solemn thistle]

new tailer, hmmm

[reef glacier]

let's see how much potential they'll give an actual players to participate in developing BF and i hope this feature will give us a new hope tho : D

[fair ivy]

How do i sign up for labs?

[fading lance]

Early early footage I hope

[cosmic urchin]

which isnt a bad thing. the gunplay and movement (not counting rabbit woman and spiderman) were allright. although the movement was a downgrade from V. i miss crouch running lol

[jolly fog]

Not a bad thing if it looks like 2042 what matters is how it plays and layout of maps and such

[solid hinge]

an M4, an abrams, desert map... let's just hope they don't get too stuck in the iraq war headspace and branch out plenty in terms of settings

[solemn thistle]

im having a 35 min wait list on the lab

[sacred sparrow]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-labs

[cosmic urchin]

wtf, i clicked it and did a survay instantly

[edgy mantle]

Yeah, it's not a bad thing, I think they're going to make it more of a better and actually good bf2042 style reboot of the franchise

[solemn thistle]

wat

[regal quarry]

Oh yeah talking about maps
What kind of map style do you people wanted in the next gane?

[pulsar quail]

Hm, interesting that they have coordinates for Tokyo on there.

[dawn abyss]

Me too

[shadow remnant]

so is there a Battlefield Labs area to watch?

[gleaming quarry]

I get that people dont like 2042, but in what world does what was shown there look like 2042 lol

[edgy mantle]

Where?

[reef glacier]

is this 5090 power required? XD

[cosmic urchin]

bit weird they want to know your race for the survey lol,

[solid hinge]

i would feel bad to do the survey and take a slot because i probably wouldn't be able to run the game

Guys! The new Battlefield is good!

[pulsar quail]

The playtesting/survey thing.

[stark kindle]

The gameplay scenes at the end of the video make me drool, holy fuck it looks good

[jaunty sand]

i like my good ol urban and desert and woodland maps

[delicate bough]

lucky

[regal quarry]

I guess the animation?
But that's pretty much it wawa

[jaunty sand]

the animations

[jagged iris]

The 5 seconds of gameplay footage at the end looked decent

[solemn thistle]

i opened the link right after i finished watching the vid

there are 2200 people in front

[cedar monolith]

i was fine with battlefield 4 being set in 2020 and having cool contemporary military tech succintly implemented almost identically as in real life with JUST a LITTLE bit of fiction sprinkled in

[cosmic drum]

Wait, looked alright, do not preorder

[cedar monolith]

i dont want a middle eastern bf game

[lyric latch]

hope they dont fuck it up this time

[golden blade]

im stuck at please stand by takes some time

[jagged iris]

In front of what. I keep seeing people say this

[noble venture]

yeah was just about to write abt this, i'm always giving the worst answers in these kinds of questions as a white cis man lol

[edgy mantle]

That moment when your pc is just barely recommended specs...

[brave glacier]

there is queue to sign up to the testing

[solemn thistle]

there is a wait list for entering the website

[bold willow]

waiting for playtest

[cosmic drum]

Get in the CTE first

[edgy mantle]

Also rtx 2060 as minimum wtf

[short gale]

so excited for this lets goooo

[cosmic urchin]

it shouldnt even be asked if it was truly about equality

[foggy wharf]

Yeah looks promissing, lets just hope it's right

[reef glacier]

hmm....quite a bit of demaning spec in recommend setting tho especially in cpu (maybe mid-range in 13th/14th gen intel or mid-range 7000 series ryzen will do the jobs)

[brave glacier]

everyone can join but there is a limited number

[jaunty sand]

lets hope its good

2042 looked good too guys

do not be swayed

[pulsar quail]

I'm cautiously optimistic about the game since I remember with fond feelings what CTE did for BF4, and this sounds to me like a preemptive CTE. Which sure, could just be disregarded and used as an excuse later on, but none the less, I feel just a slimer of hope and optimism about it.

[short gale]

yh but it was rushed

[cosmic urchin]

a 6 year old low end gpu.. yeah that makes sense for a tripple a 2025 game.... duh

[edgy mantle]

I7-11800H, rtx 3070 laptop gpu, 16gb ram, I think I'm cooked

[solemn thistle]

pre ordered it ..

[edgy mantle]

I have 1572

[cosmic urchin]

because running servers elsewhere is expensive

[cyan hemlock]

BRO WHAT IS GOING ON???!!

Im so overwhelmed

[solid hinge]

says a billion $ company

[tacit wedge]

wow that invite was quick!

[edgy mantle]

Or yknow players from other regions could play on eu and na servers

[solemn thistle]

we havent had a true battlefield since bf 1

[edgy mantle]

Ping is gonna suck but it's an option

[proud elm]

👀🔥

[cosmic urchin]

cant wait for 300 ping australians lol.

[edgy mantle]

130ms isn't unplayable

[torn ravine]

This 🔛🔝

[carmine ibex]

Holy fuck

[charred kite]

Why is there a 13k queue(which will take 1 hour) to sign up for this? I have never seen a queue for a signup like this

[dim canopy]

that map already looking better

[paper lava]

anyone get past the initial survey yet?

[thin flax]

well thx BF dudes...see you when you release the game i guess?

[coarse plank]

The soldiers seems to be British

[cosmic urchin]

how tf yall nutting over a animation of a house collapsing. this is litteraly nothing

[stark kindle]

The RPG shot into the building is so nice

[empty lava]

WW3 story line set in near future

[sleek spade]

Server logo changed

[coarse plank]

which is interesting

[prisma coral]

people like battlefield lol

[glacial fox]

the chance to play test is the reason helo?

[jaunty sand]

theres a q to sign up?

[dusty otter]

please don't tell me there's limited spaces

[dusky edge]

question. Will this game have a battle royale mode?

[thin flax]

from where??

[lean talon]

yeah, signed up, sent the questions and it puts me back into queue xD

[cosmic urchin]

you dont have to glaze the fuck out of 10 seconds of "gameplay" to get into a playtest lmao\

[exotic kernel]

looks like medal of honor

[coarse plank]

Wasn't it leaked?

[pulsar quail]

Initial invites will be limited to a few thousand participants with servers located in Europe and North America. Over time we’ll invite tens of thousands more with support for further territories. https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/news/this-is-battlefield-labs

[severe valve]

What where how?

[charred kite]

That doesn't really explain why there is a queue though. If they have trouble handling 13k sign ups to something, it doesn't exactly provide confidence

[exotic kernel]

bf fans when ppl arent miserable like that

[edgy mantle]

please dont.

[dusty otter]

rip

[empty lava]

Yea this form is so slow

[thin flax]

EXACTLY!!!

SAME BS

[pulsar quail]

RIP sani

[sacred sparrow]

please don't ping people not actively participating in chat.

[swift ginkgo]

how to get banned 101

[solemn thistle]

1719.. and I need to go somewhere important

[cyan hemlock]

So people will be invited to the studios to play or what is this exatcly? Or is it cloud gaming? Or do we get to download the pre alpha as a tester?

[thin flax]

pretty much...i'll help

[gentle owl]

call me stupid but it got me hyped af. Even if 2042 didn't turn out as we wanted, I don't think they make bad games on purpose

[sturdy oracle]

Does anyone see the playtest after doing the survey? It disapeared from the playtests available for me

[noble venture]

are you queueing to the survey or the playtest itself lol

[solemn thistle]

yea, since bf5, the old devs left

[dusty lantern]

what is this queue everyone is talking about?

[umbral lark]

[solemn thistle]

try out new battlefield

[empty lava]

ig they will either give us steam keys like they did for Arc Raiders

[severe valve]

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/news/this-is-battlefield-labs

[sweet pond]

i'm very disappointed at that "communication", all that just to do a simple playtest under nda, 0 actual transparency.

[dusty lantern]

i clicked the playtest and it brought me to the survey and said thank you for registering? is that it?

[solemn thistle]

wat

[dusty otter]

Yeah you're probably on the list now

[mighty obsidian]

the next battlefield is gonna be called battlefield "labs"? or is it the program's name

[edgy mantle]

What will happen if someone leaks the footage?

[dusty otter]

congrats

[reef glacier]

quote for new battlefield game : "it's now safe to upgrade your PC now. (get rekt wallet)"

[pulsar quail]

Same here, I did have the opportunity to do a survey which I completed as well though.

[swift ginkgo]

account banned, potential legal rammfications

[wary sigil]

PLEASE DO A LATAM TEST

[noble venture]

i think you can take a guess lol

[dusty lantern]

yes, i did the survey

[solemn thistle]

execution

[fair peak]

not the games name lol

[dusty otter]

unlike me who's behind 10k people for opening the link 10min after the video dropped

[edgy mantle]

Battlefield labs is the new game

It's a chemistry simulator

[mortal scaffold]

EU and US only? GG

[exotic kernel]

black vans show up to ur house

[tender sundial]

damn this labs thing is crazy

[edgy mantle]

Designing chemical weapons for warfare

It's gonna be fun trust

[torn ravine]

Yeah you play as a scientist with gun and bazooka

[solemn thistle]

US? hell yea
California? eh sure

[gentle owl]

engineers have to make the explosives themselves

[lament cipher]

I’m so ready to be hurt again

[pulsar quail]

Ruhe in frieden, Sani.

[daring willow]

really?

[severe valve]

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/news/this-is-battlefield-labs

[jaunty sand]

did they say when the playtest is gonna happen or not yet

[solemn thistle]

soon i think

[minor leaf]

10 sec prealpha footage looks better then whole 2042

[mighty obsidian]

we're gonna break bad in the new battlefield

[empty lava]

Registered 😮‍💨

[solemn thistle]

lol

[edgy mantle]

We said the same about the gameplay trailer for bf2042

The gameplay trailer looked amazing

[rough wagon]

looks like a reskinned 2042 ngl lol

[karmic harbor]

when is soon\

[bronze portal]

doesn't matter how much they make good footage, you think 2042 had bad trailers or smth lmao

[empty lava]

Idk why but the new theme sounds more like BF3 than BF4

[sleek spade]

yeah it 404'd me upon registration successful. A lot of people on the website right now

[torn ravine]

I love sleeping with my homies

[gleaming quarry]

Which trailer?

[amber axle]

wdym. its still heavily scripted

[fluid locust]

They seems to be on the right path this time

[tender sundial]

did anyone get past the queue yet?

[solid gazelle]

I ain’t getting registered anytime soon

[solemn thistle]

i just want them to bring back the bf3 vibes

[severe valve]

15000 before me 😭

[bronze portal]

right path? did you all fucking forget about 2042?

[brave glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-haverford-ive-looked-at-this-gif-9647862

[viscid basin]

Assuming PC only ?

[glacial drum]

Not really, all the soldiers and environment look different

[torn ravine]

Delulu

[fluid locust]

Right path FROM NOW

[raw crest]

i am on a white screen saying please standby

[rough wagon]

what you think "reskin" means ? lol

[solemn thistle]

1437... i need to go somewhere in 8 min

[fathom pebble]

PC, Playstation 5 and Xbox

[rugged mesa]

Is it really? Ugh

[wary sigil]

Kinda looks like MW19

[dusty otter]

Console too

[edgy mantle]

https://youtu.be/WomAGoEh-Ss?si=iJSkmIrTJqjXuNRS

[rugged mesa]

Oh, that's nice to hear

[noble grove]

i might just be preordering...

[fathom pebble]

its on the FAQ

[severe valve]

Uhoh

[viscid basin]

Survey didn’t ask about console , just specs on your PC

[bronze portal]

we'll have to see when the labs open, and players actually get to play the game

[slow sandal]

are we back?

[rugged mesa]

So what is Labs exactly? Is it like Portal?

[solemn thistle]

I have a exam...

[edgy mantle]

Battlefield channel logo and banner changed

[bronze portal]

even then, i would not put it past them to put dogshit skins in the first battlepass in no time

[dusty otter]

expecting people to read that is unrealistic unfortunately

[solemn thistle]

give up my grades for the play test?😏

[gleaming quarry]

Labs is their closed testing of the upcoming game. It is not portal.

[empty lava]

Alpha/Beta testing program

[edgy mantle]

It's pure white now

[rugged mesa]

Oh, so a placeholder name, gotcha

[solid gazelle]

Yes

[onyx wagon]

Survey didn't ask me about specs at all

[mortal scaffold]

Why does Eotech look so off in this series? 🤔

[severe valve]

Screw the exam 😂 battlefield time

[brave glacier]

even those look 10 times better

[gleaming quarry]

There is a whole 5 minute video explaining it here: https://youtu.be/s-TJIXqnqgY?si=UKotJXPpJitdprBv

[edgy mantle]

Seems like they'll go less in the blue tinted bf3/2042 esque direction

[carmine finch]

I think labs is like a test server like how Minecraft and some other titles have

[rough kernel]

Its gonna be a shitshow guys

[past pike]

testing program, it seems

[jaunty sand]

oh new server icon cool

[fathom pebble]

also would take a look at #battlefield-labs-news

[charred kite]

Are they devs manually accepting forms or why is it moving so slow? Moved 200 spots in like 5 minutes. Only 12k more to go!

[bronze portal]

ah yes bluefield 3

[empty lava]

Orange tint color scheme always goes hard

[vast canyon]

let's make Battlefield great again 💕

[shadow remnant]

excited for this 20 Year Battlefielder 🙂

I don't like other games... they are NOT Battlefield

[bronze portal]

people actually forgot about the "love letter to the fanbase"

its better to hope for the best but at the same time not expect it

[severe valve]

They hired thé penguins so it goes faster 🐧

[bronze portal]

that's where BF is at rn

[raw crest]

anyone else got this

YOO PORTAL IS FUCJINF BACK

imagine we get a map editor

[cosmic urchin]

well this is a step in the right direction lol, but i see people here glazing the gameplay we got... which is just special

[gleaming quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/charlie-day-thumbs-up-fist-fight-sounds-good-charlie-kelly-gif-4666357141173716090

[west bramble]

i heard Russia is ddosing?

[west flame]

I AM BEYOND EXCITED

[shadow remnant]

map editor would BE AMAZING

[charred kite]

EA won't give us a map editor. That's lost money for them because they can't sell maps then

[rugged mesa]

Im not ddosing, im just trying to register for the beta test 😭😭

[civic galleon]

prolly october

[strong parrot]

the average gamer when a company uses buzzwords to tickle their rose tinted nostalgia glasses

[supple solar]

LETS GOOO

[shadow remnant]

Modern BF wouldn't be here with out Modding Teams

[supple solar]

PORTAL HAS HUGE POTENTIAL

[west bramble]

thats him, guys

[cosmic urchin]

if its pre alpha now prob 2026
