[raw crest]

Ah, I queued all day, had to leave work, drove home, refreshed the page, and lost my 15-minute slot. What a nightmare!

[limpid plinth]

crossplay in a shooter is only bad for the console players getting pub stomped by Mouse and keyboard

[sour viper]

Very true bot ai’s are not the best.

[urban lark]

There is no denying that hands are better than thumbs for these kinds of games

I don’t even really play fps on pc. I downloaded 2042 free trial on mine once, was popping heads left and right. Could never consistently do it on console

[solid hinge]

and thats what I think is one aspect which makes people dont get the feeling as playing back in the days.. not everything must be like in ''most of the games*

[tribal marsh]

price of game will be $100?

[lost bobcat]

Sorry to hear that

[flat condor]

I love having cross play finally in battlefield but wont deny there being networking concerns. I havent actually been able to play a stable 128 player game until November 2024, so to be fair personal internet could always be an issue but for other games to work fine and to not play this game mode with stability for its entire life span isnt exactly a surprise. IT WORKS FINE NOW THO

[rain panther]

maybe not whole warships but large patrol boats and transport boats bigger than rhibs would be sick

[tight rain]

Supposedly the base game will be 120 usd

[proud scaffold]

Oh I agree, I’m just saying most games nowadays that blow up then decrease in player base just have bots to fill out the empty slots

[solid hinge]

aye dont talk about money here xD you giving the devs new expectation from us about the price

[urban lark]

Nah. This franchise has been around long enough, let’s get some big ships. BF1 did it well

[tribal marsh]

please no...

[solid hinge]

make it 300

[limpid plinth]

says who?

[tight rain]

Gonna have to work that overtime for this one boy

[tight rain]

Me

[limpid plinth]

right

[urban lark]

He’s right he showed me

[solid hinge]

yeah thats true but instead of adding bots they should ask themselves WHY is it that less people play the game and try to solve it first

[orchid fox]

Йоу друзья

[tribal marsh]

I want mortars

[modern sand]

Op as hell

[urban lark]

Bring back ac130

[modern sand]

🤣

[solid hinge]

I hope rockets and rpgs on tanks wont be like in bf2042 I liked it in bfV and bf1 better

[tribal marsh]

white phosphor mortar

[urban lark]

Bring back mortars

[green cipher]

Ayyy welcome to the club bb

[tribal marsh]

hell yeah

[manic python]

There was a point during past BF w/ no bots on ranked where severs would sit empty that didn't have full time regular populations so maybe they thought giving bots would help. "Thought" is more like it. Nothing like havng real people to help seed servers.

[rain panther]

ships in modern combat battlefield would require multiple kilometer sized maps and more people the next best thing would be patrol boats and amphibious beach landing craft

[urban lark]

Well not that crazy but like they could give a few seats, 1 for the 5 inch gun, 1 for the CIWS, 1 for driver, etc. they can make it simple

[solid hinge]

ohh I hope siege of shanghai finds its way back

[proud scaffold]

Hopefully that play test addresses that issue

[proud scaffold]

Yeah I see ur point

[solid hinge]

Hopefully yeah

[urban lark]

What if we got a shanghai remaster with a lot more neon lights and what not like the actual city

Peak map design

[tribal marsh]

orbital cannon

[proud scaffold]

Wait

[fast magnet]

I imagine the bots were a halfway measure to address the want for larger battles while also not bringing server infrastructure to it's knees by doubling the connections

[proud scaffold]

Does anyone remember that bf4 app the commander

Where like u control cruise missiles and stuff on ur mobile device

[fallow stone]

i hope that commander will return in bf 2025

[last glen]

I'm ready for Battlefield 3 Reloaded 🤓

[proud scaffold]

Should they bring that back? I personally liked it

[rain panther]

brother modern warships engage each other from kilometers away before even getting close to land if you want real ship warfare you should find a simulator; in battlefield the best thing would be to use patrol boats and smaller attack craft basically anything smaller than a destroyer

[tribal marsh]

hazard zone bruh

i dont know if anybody keeps playing that gamemode

[solid hinge]

extract these nuts

[mellow jungle]

BF2 Commander role was epic

[manic python]

I do recall it. Mobille got to direct squads and supply. Etc

[solid hinge]

then we shouldnt get that larger battles. Look at the previous bf games it was great, fun to play and addicting. a 32 v 32 is big enough

[manic python]

THIS! You could hunt them down! A physical person in game . Was my fav!

[sour tapir]

where u guys at

in q

[fast magnet]

I think it should be a choice. Let people host their own servers for their own desired play

[rain panther]

if it were to happen it would be with mainly long range missiles and planes

[urban lark]

2 things:

remember that this is a video game

Have you played BF1? It’s realistic that ships battle from miles away yeah, but nobody threw a fit with how naval battles worked in 1. Don’t sell yourself short for “realism”. Go play this game called ‘cold waters’ for realistic near peer ship combat

[fast magnet]

Personally I'd love 128 v 128 meat grinders, but not everyone would like those compromises

Correct!

[solid hinge]

yeah true but no bots on the official servers then or the 32v32 modes.

[fast magnet]

That's why

[rain panther]

bf1 was in wold war 1 brother if you want ship warfare with infantry combat get arma 3 and instal mods

[fringe owl]

I do miss piloting the aircraft carrier in 1942.

[limpid plinth]

why do we need to stick to 32 64 and 128? just make like a 40v40 game

[fringe owl]

That was fun.

[solid hinge]

damn my guy just solved it XD

[rain panther]

in a hypothetical situation what i described is exactly what would happen

[solid hinge]

the finals had epic destruction but the problem is that it wasnt battlefield

[sweet stone]

same

[lost bobcat]

I didn’t. The whole game mode felt weird,
like if they took Fortnite and made it count strike, it just didn’t fit

[mellow jungle]

Leading/guiding a squad to success and giving instructions, commending, giving UAV support or ammo etc. it was the best tbh!

[solid hinge]

its too niche

teams of 3 nah

[wispy zephyr]

the finals was incredibly one note and impossible to play defensively

[rain panther]

play apex

[urban lark]

Waddup vfc

[fast magnet]

Anyway 64 player metro is still peak

[solid hinge]

this

[rain panther]

smart man

[tribal marsh]

what if 200 player metro

[fast magnet]

Fuck yeah

I mean, I want titanfall 3 but you know this objectively is not true right? People do play apex

[urban lark]

You clearly must not have seen the best YouTube video of all time. Lemme go find something for you to watch real quick

[wispy zephyr]

i smelled 2042 defenders when the trailer dropped and had to come back to remind them

[solid hinge]

u should become a president

[urban lark]

I have been engaged in the mission to ground the community here for a while as well

[rain panther]

alright go ahead and log off

[mellow jungle]

Nothing beats Strike at Karkand in BF2. The C4 and nade spam was unreal 😂

[fast magnet]

256 player metro would be crowded

[rain panther]

send it

[manic python]

Don't forget the ordered in arty support either, which was crazy OP in BF2. lol

[fast magnet]

Like. I don't mean there's too many people, I mean it would get physically difficult to move around

[solid hinge]

nobody defends 2042, it just took a few years for a small amount of ppl to get gaslit into liking it

[rain panther]

one of the best urban environments ive ever played in

[solid hinge]

I slept through my Number in queue

[proud scaffold]

Yk it’s cool to see this community still alive

Yea, the satisfaction of getting kills with artillery was real. I get that now playing Delta Force (the new f2p game).

Do you want the link or the title?

sure buddy not gonna argue someone who doesnt understand basic modern naval doctrine

[solid hinge]

wassup man

[rain panther]

u can dm me the link

[limpid plinth]

64v64 and higher doesn't really work it just turns into a bigger map with micro battles in their own areas of like 16v16 for example battlebit is 64v64

[weary rock]

When is games gonna make a shotgun that is irl acurate KEKW They are busted irl

[fast magnet]

I mean. I can work. Planetside does/did it well imo. Having multiple fronts means it's advantageous to have a good macro strategy as opposed to a bunch of guys just shooting one point

[manic python]

Very satisfying and you only needed a good squad or two to PTFO to win as commander but the more the better.

[limpid plinth]

planetside is also a lot of small battles theres not one large battle

[solid hinge]

bipod flir yep its gaming time

[fast magnet]

Once you get above 60 player teams you do need like, more organization than just squads

[mellow jungle]

"Good work squad!" 👌

[tribal marsh]

squads of 16 people

[fast magnet]

Correct, but the individual battles still influence the overall map and form a continuous conflict

[wispy zephyr]

planetside fell apart under its own design in every way except the guns, which higby copied from bc2

[weary rock]

not a veyr tryhard game i dont even mind

[fast magnet]

4 squads of 5 people make a platoon

[solid hinge]

I just hope they will revive the bf community. Im off yall. Have a good day, night, morning and whatever is inbetween ❤️

[mild prawn]

hey lets hope this time they get it right like they did 15 years ago lmao

[fast magnet]

Platoons have their own chat with commander

[weary rock]

oh god please no

and slow vaulting please

[fast magnet]

You can do simple command structures in a way that gives incentives for macro strategy

Ok

[manic python]

Could do without as well. Plenty of games have it but BF-wise it just never took with me.

[fast magnet]

It wouldn't work in battlefield. But the omni movement system in bo6 is genuinely very well done

[solid hinge]

bo6 is not a playable mp videogame

nah, its fun

[fast magnet]

It's not the movement system every game needs, but it works for what the game is setting out to do

[solid hinge]

@prime pine

[raw crest]

who used to play commander mode on a tablet

[manic python]

Lol thank you!

[solid hinge]

whats good Way guess I'm back 🗣️ 🔥 💯

[fair ember]

Please tell me I was able to get to queue-it only by the link of a friend, but not through Steam and other official sources. Can this affect the alpha test?

[tribal marsh]

proximity voice chat must be in the game, no matters what

[wispy zephyr]

bo6 is an algorithmically generated experience, zero gameplay involved

[solid hinge]

maps and movement are dookie trash

[mild prawn]

i would like controller=kbm and it be fair i cant stand playing on kbm yall have ur whole hand i can barley move my thumbs like i dont need snappy aim just not loosey goosey

[solid hinge]

I’m confused is there a new battlefield coming out that I saw ??? Or what is that ?

[fast magnet]

Damn it's almost like I said it was good for what bo6 was doing and not the supreme best movement system for every game

[tribal marsh]

cod this days look like an AI game

[proud scaffold]

Nah this battlefield, everybody should ask for the classes to come back like recon, support, assault and engineer

[limpid plinth]

what

[proud scaffold]

No joke

[urban lark]

The skins literally are using generative ai actually

[tribal marsh]

lol

[solid hinge]

Is there a new battlefield coming out ?

[proud scaffold]

Pretty sure yeah

[limpid plinth]

yikes

[proud scaffold]

That’s what labs is fore

[urban lark]

They’re barely hiding it. In fact they’re selling obviously generated AI loading screens now

[wispy zephyr]

you wouldnt learn flick stick or gyro if they put it in so this will never happen

[proud scaffold]

For*

[lime wedge]

there will always be something that gets abused in battlefield. there will always be a meta kit/meta setup that gets abused

[solid hinge]

I’m so confused what labs is

[mild prawn]

idk grammer sucks my bad i hate using kbm i want to use controllers and it not feel like hell let loose

[limpid sky]

i kinda like this idea

[proud scaffold]

Essentially a massive play test

Using us

To make the new battlefield as good as possible

Based off feedback

[solid hinge]

it does have ai art all over the game, zombie with 6 fingers etc

[solid hinge]

Fuck yeah I’m singing up lol

[tribal marsh]

[fast magnet]

My guess is they're trying to saturate for qa testing and also stress their hardware for servers and matchmaking

[weary rock]

slow vaulting, being able to vault over fences. or even teammate boosts to help you up to higher climbable locations u normally cant alone. Have proper RECOIL for guns. Fuck sliding, Slow down the sprinting a little. add proper leaning, Crouch reducing recoil. harder to aim in ads while moving. Thoughts?

[wispy zephyr]

it's a pr stunt after they spent the last 3 games totally ignoring test feedback

[glossy talon]

Heya New here, i saw the Battlefields Labs video, im happy to see Destruction come in games again. been a while since Bad company 2. Hope the best for this upcoming game i guess?

[tribal marsh]

cod feels weird now, so refried and so washed

[manic python]

Agreed. They even tried no prone in Bad Company 2 and people mostly went sniping lmao That -life finds a way- s**t. lol

[solid hinge]

ideally bf premium but that wont happen again

[glossy talon]

was such a good game

im agaisn't snipe fest game so i don't play any recent BF

[urban lark]

I’m only still playing the MW games for the gunsmith. If Battlefield ever adopts a good gunsmith, I’m abandoning CoD forever

[manic python]

What did you think about the destructability .My bad

[fast magnet]

Here's a hot take: fans don't know what they actually want

[solid hinge]

wrong

[limpid sky]

I like this. I dont like the current speed of the game. It was right in BF3... Right now it doesnt feel like this Soldiers carry around heavy gear ...

[limpid plinth]

"proper recoil" what defines this because theres games on both ends of the spectrum

[mild prawn]

i dam shure dont want to tarkov slow

[glossy talon]

adds so much to the game

[glossy talon]

oh yes i do know, Hell Let Loose with destruction

[tribal marsh]

some squid games skins

bruh

[lime wedge]

nothing from 2042. for certain

[glossy talon]

my go to shooting game is Hell Let Loose, nothing better then play only German

[manic python]

Fr plus its 2025. We should be able to use all of this particle effect technology and physics to the fullest.

[tropic folio]

battlepass, dlc packs split the player base and cost more in the long run

[tribal marsh]

just premium

[lime wedge]

never played but im traumatized from the tiktok clips

[urban lark]

I’ve had the debate before… putting attachments on a virtual gun is not “extra work”. This is why we lost a reasonably good mechanic like tuning in MW22. And all guns are capable of killing; meta players are just a hive mind.

[wet blaze]

I remember the bf3 beta on 360 first time playing operation metro

[glossy talon]

sorry if i did traumatize you with my only Firethrowing video

[weary rock]

u can slide. U cant climb shit. U get stuck on random rocks. Moving and ads is like controllable. Crouching and shooting dont make so much difference, people just go prone instead. Standing and shooting like a m1 should have way more vertical recoil compared to crouching

[wispy zephyr]

bf players know what they want and it's stupid shit that will kill the game again like 128, hc, excessive animations

[glossy talon]

i like slower gameplay

[lime wedge]

now i gotta look that up! 😅

[hushed elbow]

whats this proper recoil? m16 and ak74 have basically no recoil and muzzle climb

[limpid plinth]

most people who play or mod games don't know how a single thing about game dev and balance and what is and isn't fun to play

[fast magnet]

Lmao true

[glossy talon]

this so true

[manic python]

This is just an objective statement. It was polarizing between players. For sure.

[fallow rapids]

Absolutely nothing

[hushed elbow]

why havent the battlefailed players switched over to arma?

[tribal marsh]

close quarter maps

[wispy zephyr]

arma is a role playing game and battlefield is a shooter

[weary rock]

like make guns kick like real fucking riles. If ur shooting a m1 like in b5. That shit should kick u rly fucking hard. Now if ur shooting like a .22? Make sense to not have as much

[weary rock]

but that dosent mean u add massive horrizontal recoil just cus vertical dont exsist

[solid hinge]

hell let loose popped off cuz battlefield sucked

[limpid plinth]

because arma is too realistic

[urban lark]

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I’m not against this idea either. But I just like being able to make tactical or unique loadouts with my favorite guns

[weary rock]

h

[wispy zephyr]

HLL popped off? since when?

[sweet stone]

No thanks. Battlefield is a peak arcade shooter, I don’t want arma

[solid hinge]

since forever, look at the server browser

[tribal marsh]

I like recoil in games weapons i don't understand this trend of making weapons like lasers

[weary rock]

it is still arcade but guns dont feel like guns this way

[hushed elbow]

than whats the hate on call of duty? its basically the same level are cartooness

[manic python]

Yeah so you'd have to develop a natural point of aim. Similar to real aim.

[sacred eagle]

i play both, I was very hesitant to get into arma because I viewed the game as having a big barrier of entry. I don't think so now, but that's how it felt when I started

[urban lark]

This is a made up argument

[ashen fossil]

See I'm for this but you need some form of body build/stats related thing because I can c-clamp like a boss but my fireteam partner weighed 110lbs soaking wet and could barely hold a lmg let alone move while firing it

[weary rock]

fr tf is aim assist

[urban lark]

Imagine this: DLC splits the player base. But an older DLC pack cost as much as a modern store skin bundle now. And you used to get more out of it. People spend the same amount of money now on less lol

[proud scaffold]

I’m all down for dlc like bf4 did

[limpid plinth]

aim assist is a bandaid

[weary rock]

LOL

[sacred eagle]

this is ideal over a battlepass/skinshop imo

[fast magnet]

Aim assist is basically a necessity on controller, especially in a hypothetical cross play environment

[proud scaffold]

Ik bro battle pass is for every game now tbh

[solid hinge]

premium servers were a good cheater filter but theres no way paid maps are coming back

[proud scaffold]

I wouldn’t mind normal dlc again

[frozen yacht]

I just brought BF3 I had no idea you could still play!

Over the moon

[weary rock]

in bf5 i feel like u should be able to crouch and ads with lmg tho

[tropic folio]

i am

we got more content under premium, but what good is that if you struggle to find matches on your favorite map because people aren't buying it?

[urban lark]

This is why I think post-support ANY premium Battlefield should sell it with the physical/digital versions, (for example bf1 revolution). Premium was a superior service model and as much as it ‘split the playerbase’ people spend just as much now on literal celebrity skins, they have 20 dollars for several guns and 3-4 new maps

[sacred eagle]

If they did do a battlepass, I'd hope it'd be similar to MCC or Helldivers. FOMO is a bitch.

[tropic folio]

i didn't say i did

[limpid plinth]

problem with DLC is for people who have friends (not me) you will be cockblocked by DLC when trying to play with people if you don't own it and your friends do etc

[gray adder]

i love this 36 hour wait time to get signed up wtf

[manic python]

That was definitely a good model for adding DLC at the time! Felt like a lot each time but added a lot of new dimensions to the gameplay.

[untold fiber]

Just curious, I did the survery and finalized everything yesterday. Should I have received some kind of confirmation email? When I tried to login it put me back in a que line again.

[final arch]

i want them to bring back the first person knive takedowns so bad

[urban lark]

If i am not mistaken, BF1 in particular allows players without a specific DLC to play DLC maps as long as they’re partied up with whoever owns it

[manic python]

They should be able to kill with dropped weapons to get a piece of test with it .My bad. yes you had to have it to join >that sucked

[ashen fossil]

Thats video game logic for you.. irl you use the tracers/dirt puffs to determine your FoS(Fall of shot)

[willow ember]

Yet you suck at every game you play

[abstract shadow]

How much do y'all wanna bet SOMEONES breaking NDA

[timid pivot]

Loads

[spring widget]

someone always will

[tropic folio]

i don't buy every season pass lol, that's why battlepass model is better. I pay literally not one dime more than the base game price, and i still get all the content. It's overall better especially considering many people simply didn't buy dlc

[urban lark]

2042 commercially failed for EA

[hushed elbow]

I hate when shooters have that tilted animation that they use... it looks so dumb

[timid pivot]

You're good

[urban lark]

[hushed elbow]

also that cooling hiss sound

[limpid plinth]

some people arguably most people want to buy a game and get the whole game..

[weary rock]

look something with recoil and Controllable recoil or vertical recoil and camera shake makes guns feels real fucking nice to play if u can hit ur shots. Everyone using a lazer pointer is no fun

[gray adder]

im pretty sure 90% of the people wants a game like bad company was

[tribal marsh]

battlepass sucks

[hushed elbow]

but I mean dice hasnt made a good game since BF2... all the games after have been console games

[fast magnet]

Hot take, the mechanics of bad company have aged poorly

[tropic folio]

? no, all content is free lol the people buying battlepasses and cosmetics are paying for everyone else

[manic python]

Liquid had a point about having to have it to join servers with paid DLC in rotation being a thing if your group didnt have the same access to the money, etc.

[abstract shadow]

I'm position 16666

[urban lark]

All you have to do is put up a chart of the amount of maps bf3-1 got compared to V and 2042 then see what’s wrong with Battlefields live service model. It’s underwhelming, meanwhile players are now spending 100s of dollars on skins in games. But they don’t have 15 dollars for a new DLC every 3 months. Sheesh

[gray adder]

it was the best battlefield game made to date

[vernal steeple]

how tf do i enter queue bruh

[limpid plinth]

like I said most people don't know how game dev works and its showing

[vernal steeple]

it says there's no other playtests available

[tropic folio]

not gonna bother if you can't even stick to one argument

[grave wedge]

start of a slippery slope tbh

[spring widget]

yea theres none available

[fast magnet]

I played both on launch, they were great, but they have absolutely begun to show their age

[grave wedge]

cosmetics shouldn't be on the table period

[vernal steeple]

is the queue for making an account or like whats going on

cuz im confused

[gray adder]

nah man we are showing our age haha

[fast magnet]

Oof ouch owie ow

[tribal marsh]

I want a game no a battlepass farming simulator

[fast magnet]

When do I get my aarp card

[spring widget]

[vernal steeple]

oh so i'm fine

[tribal marsh]

nah, last ones have no sense

[tropic folio]

do you read?

[vernal steeple]

i already signed up for playtests like 2 years ago

[urban lark]

Bro do you remember the bf4 premium only character skins? I was so envious of those for years lol. The dog tags and knives too

[devout mauve]

cosmetics should be limited to the bf4 style where its emblems, camos, and vehicle equipment

[vernal steeple]

is that why i had no queue

[limpid plinth]

helldivers 2

[ashen fossil]

Are you on the site? if not you can go to their trailer reveal on youtube and join it or I can find it for you again.. Either way it's about 1 day wait time lol my first queue was like 4 hours but it popped when I was in the bathroom so I missed it, requeued and got like 240K in line.. went to bed, woke up and was still in queue lol

[fast magnet]

Yeah I was on the anthem, that's why you didn't need to queue

[green cipher]

Yeah but not THIS particular one

[craggy drift]

Do we know when emails are going out?

[tropic folio]

in the following weeks

[tribal marsh]

helldivers have warbonds

[manic python]

That cosmetic bloat needs to go back to getting for gun acheievement unlocks per gun without paying extra. Should have that be optional non-base game add on that's optional. Or none at all.

[fast magnet]

Faq says within the next week or two

[craggy drift]

Ok thanks

[limpid plinth]

you don't have to buy it though

[grave wedge]

that's more just customization

[limpid plinth]

you can just earn it ingame

[craggy drift]

Ok thank you

[tropic folio]

the queue seems to be only for making an account yeah, we already had one so we don't need to wait

[limpid plinth]

nah

[vernal steeple]

no i already have the link i'm just confused about this queue thing

[vernal steeple]

oh

[tropic folio]

so you don't, ok

[grave wedge]

emblems and camos are completely fine and do not change the character's base model, only adds slight details to them while retaining the silhouette

[limpid plinth]

are you insane?

[grave wedge]

but full on hats, backpacks, scarves, all of that has no place

[limpid plinth]

THIS

[vernal steeple]

when do u think open testing is gonna come out

[devout mauve]

they should return to the model of battlefield premium instead of the free content in exchange for massive microtransactions with cosmetics

[tribal marsh]

mil sim skins = cool
power rangers skins = horrible

[tropic folio]

they said it's opening in the following weeks

[fast magnet]

There's a concept that's been making it's rounds for the last few years called "Time to penis", where if you give players the ability to be creative, they will draw dicks everywhere

[limpid plinth]

ok so they are insane

[vernal steeple]

wow sigma

sorry i don't pay attention

[fast magnet]

So that's why you see less emblem makers in recent years

[formal wadi]

I signed imterest battlefield playtest on the EA playtest website is it the same sign up

[finite wagon]

Any one still plays BF4 or BFV?

[grave wedge]

emblems should be regulated though, I don't want the fifth furry ass emblem of the day like I get on bf4 that makes me want to vomit

[manic python]

It's coming full circle. I recall people flipping out when Premium came out. Now it's not looking s obad of a model. One pay get all

[finite wagon]

I still got Battlefield 1 on PS5

[green cipher]

My age must be showing, what?

[ashen fossil]

Ah human nature... nothing funnier then a random shaft with 2 balls somewhere

[tropic folio]

so just like every other battle pass lol?

it's shocking how many people here don't even know what they're arguing against

[vernal steeple]

it's just a thing people say when something works well

[formal wadi]

@finite wagon BF4 lobby's hardly fill up anymore

[vernal steeple]

lol

[finite wagon]

oh there be alot of cheating in BFV?

[urban lark]

Players are realizing there’s a massive discrepancy between 20 dollars to get more content on average which adds up in the endgame vs 2 guns every 3 months and a new skin bundle every millisecond (20 dollars, some go up to 40+ now)

[fast magnet]

These are battlefield players you expect them to follow any form of consistent logic?

[abstract shadow]

Does xbox even play online anymore?

[vernal steeple]

anyone play 2142 here

[formal wadi]

Playstation

[manic python]

This! I see it too much to pretend I don't when it comes to things people want to see change.

its much better than having slow content releases that quite frankly aren't the content people are looking for.

[finite wagon]

oh i mean BF4 on PC Steam

[fast magnet]

Why is live service in quotes that's just a description of live service

[tropic folio]

it's an interesting middle ground considering they're permanent and can be unlocked for free

[urban lark]

Skins are not fulfilling to spend my money on. I know deep down I can barely even see or interact with it. I’d be able to reason spending 20 dollars on tangible things like access to more maps, modes, and content

[grave wedge]

You know when I was going to Arizona airport I met a TSA employee who was in his 60s who told me he played battlefield 2142

[devout mauve]

some servers are full, just usually server browser though

[spring widget]

would you pay 20$ every time a new map comes out ?

[upper sundial]

But is there any confirmation? I did also the journey and optional questions, but since it was done, i don't have any clue, if it was working. I hope so, hopefully there will be an e-Mail after the hype of registration.

[flint orchid]

any idea how to make 2042 run smooth ive got a decent pc 3080 i79700k. none of the settings change anything

[urban geyser]

i play battlefield 1 and battlefield V still

[urban lark]

20 dollars for 3-4 maps, 4+ guns, new challenges, modes and other content, spaced out every 3 months? Absolutely lol

[tropic folio]

for sure, i hope more games adopt helldivers and halo's system

[finite wagon]

are you guys familiar with ESN Sonar?

[spring widget]

now youre opening the gate to pay-to-win content

[grave wedge]

I don't know man, that's when the really shady stuff starts being put into emblems

[finite wagon]

it got installed somehow while i was playing the old BF games

[torn meteor]

YES

[grave wedge]

I'm all for funny stuff but there's a very fine line between funny and just grotesque

[torn jetty]

I got access to Battlefield 6 playtech wow nice thanks you

[tribal marsh]

replacing guns with exclusive premium cosmetics?

[wispy zephyr]

they did this anyway with the battle pass, thats what the vhx was

[tribal marsh]

i dont know

[torn jetty]

Playtest

[finite wagon]

battlelog on BF1 was great on my phone

[manic python]

I never felt the sting of microtransactions until recent. lol family kids wanting/asking for content made it get real. Then there's the not liking it afterwards part you stated specifically. 💯 😂

[grave wedge]

EA does a relatively good job of keeping bad emblems off, but some reports of mine just don't go through for very obvious TOS stuff

[limpid plinth]

you haven't looked at player counts have you

[fallow rapids]

#battlefield-2042

[torn jetty]

I finally got access to BF6 playtests, im downloading right now lol only 5 gigs

[tribal marsh]

yeah like if battle pass have weapons too you can buy levels of it and get weapons before other people, so is pay to win too.

[spring widget]

tbf I dont know much about bf's battle pass, but in cod for ex (at least bo6) guns in the battle pass are essentially just skins with premade loadouts which well. more skins, but at least it doesnt impact gameplay much

[finite wagon]

mircotransactions gets a bad rep. most of the time, you can grind it out yourself and get the things you out of it

[loud ember]

screw battlepass

[urban lark]

Yeah battle passes can be pay to win too, just shell out 100 dollars to complete the BP instantly, and use the new season gun that is INTENTIONALLY broken for like a month before the devs “balance it” to get you to spend money and get a early p2w advantage. Tell me what dlc weapon in 4 was actually decried as being pay 2 win when the aek was the most meta gun in the game and all players could freely access it

[devout mauve]

fr you compare 2042, bfv to the likes of bf3, bf4 in terms of post content release. it really has fallen off a cliff.

[tropic folio]

try actually playing the game and then get back to me lol

[grave wedge]

Can't even argue with this. rm68 on release

[fast magnet]

??????????? What is this argument lmao

[wispy zephyr]

launch content, post launch content, mechanical depth, playability....

[urban lark]

I’m not even going to lie I abused that thing too

[tropic folio]

dude has nothing but strawman arguments

[fast magnet]

"Cod player"???????

[manic python]

Relatively dead compared to the past. Not gone totally since some games have groups of former communities for the given game putting up games that were sunset from master servers. Some never let go on PC but yeah console gone is gone.

[frozen dune]

bring back the abillity to buy through your class type and leave it at that

[grave wedge]

I gave up after that and mostly because it was clear they weren't going to fix some lasing in 2042

[finite wagon]

hopefully battlefield 6 is a return to the golden age of Battlefield

[grave wedge]

2042 just isn't my cup of tea

[brisk cosmos]

Bring back 6 person squads

[urban lark]

I genuinely want 5 man squads back though

[finite wagon]

Battlefield 3, 1 and 4 were my golden age lol

[spring widget]

maybe in bf6 dice can delve into more custom gamemodes

[limpid plinth]

BF4 is still thriving on PC

[frozen dune]

how do we feel about BFhardline around here

[finite wagon]

exactly BF4 on PC is still good

[grave wedge]

Auto mod will get me if I say the kind

[tribal marsh]

i never liked hardline

[grave wedge]

But it's not safe basically

[upper sundial]

Did you got any confirmation right now? Like an E-Mail or something? I am still unsure if it was really working, there is no link or entry on my EA account that I am in.

[frozen dune]

real

[ashen fossil]

It says right at the top of the queue page you can close it and come back any time.. the average wait time is like an hour for every 20k in line

[manic python]

Indeed. It had quite a few flock back. More than I realized when my own friends said they run it still . Lol

[frank olive]

The biggest problem with moderating emblems is just volume of custom emblems. Unless they use some kind of automated system to help with that its just not feasible

[wispy zephyr]

wrong place + wrong time, not really bad unless youre a weird milsimmer and hate cops v robbers

[finite wagon]

oh i remember hard line, it's cops and robbers mode was something else

[spring widget]

ai

[raw pagoda]

Or a program

[limpid plinth]

ew

[urban lark]

Surprised that abbreviation isn’t black listed by the filter

[abstract shadow]

161940...

[spring widget]

at least its scalable

[frank olive]

Im loath to say it but it could be an actual good use for it lol

[tribal marsh]

I want to make my creeper custom emblem

[limpid plinth]

its not any good for many reasons

[raw pagoda]

No ai just just a program that detects offensive content

[finite wagon]

cops and robbers was good to me

it was something different

[manic python]

How many people here from Bf4 still have buddies runnin it?

[urban lark]

No need to apologize I know what you’re talking about. I’m just saying this servers filter is a bit weird

[finite wagon]

Gun Master needs to make a return too

[spring widget]

you cant ask humans to vet thousands of emblems. ai can do it, and if theres a false positive humans jump in

[wispy zephyr]

none, the game is over a decade old and was never meant to have a long shelf life

[latent zealot]

i still run it from time to time on xbox

all the private servers for bf4 are still up

[finite wagon]

i still got BF4 and it's on my PC

[limpid plinth]

do you know a single thing about how ai works and what it costs to run and the enviromental impact?

[abstract shadow]

I used to have a ton of sonic emblems on Black ops 😂

[spring widget]

do you think dice cares about that ?

[marsh heron]

it should have said youll get an email but not yet no. if you login to the ea play testing site you should see a pop up that says "no playtests available"

[wispy zephyr]

there are like 3 full servers on NA and then a bunch with fake players and 0 playing

[latent zealot]

it still shocks me till this day what people were allowed to put as images on those servers lmfao

[tribal marsh]

bf1 have a lot of people right now

[abstract shadow]

Why would you take a day off for a beta you aint even guaranteed to get?

[finite wagon]

i'll play some BF4 PC with you guyys

@pine egret

[limpid plinth]

ah you're a programmer that makes a lot more sense

[weary rock]

it sucked in too many ways

[tropic folio]

not gonna lie man, i'd just wait a week or so and try then. The playtests will go on for a long time and they won't pick everyone in one day. Can't be missing work for stuff this trivial

[latent zealot]

and gameplay is subpar, and they tried to change the formula

[tulip bane]

Does anyone know how to fix the freezing in BFV?

[marsh heron]

i dont want to break it to you, but getting through the queue just gets you to a survey, with no gaurantee of being part of battlefield labs.

[abstract shadow]

I mean the full games not gonna go anywhere

[spring widget]

i aint an ai apologist, but i can agree ai can sometimes be put to good usage

[upper sundial]

I did the same and rechecked there. So, lets wait, hope, and see. Thank you!

[verbal bone]

No

[tulip bane]

Hey I just bought BFV and the game is freezing for me, does anyone know how to fix it???

[tribal marsh]

fun but yeah is a bit to much

[spring widget]

as long as they dont pull an activision and start generating their assets with AI, im good with it

[soft sapphire]

hello fellow Battlefield players : )

[shadow dove]

it literally holds your ip in queue, i had one queue set up on my computer i totally shut that off and woke up and missed it, but i opened the page on my phone at a later time and i just woke up and reopened the page and was met with the final screen

[blazing hamlet]

is anyone playing BF4 on PC these days?

[tulip bane]

why?

[fallow rapids]

You’re trolling

Hopefully

[tropic folio]

yes, you're only signing up for a chance to be chosen. It seemed pretty clear

[wispy zephyr]

pc bf4 servers all have fake playercounts, you join them and only 3-4 of them have more than a handful of players

[manic python]

Bet! Not been near Bf4 in awhile so was personally, wondering. Also, just reading thru ppls answers. Makes sense that people are still playing and others are moved on for different reasons. Especially tied to friends still active or not.

[tulip bane]

because this is clearly not a solution.

[spring widget]

🤨

[shadow dove]

now this is unhinged behavior, what a waste of a day off

[brisk cosmos]

Hardcore from day 1 ??

[tulip bane]

So you are telling me your game was freezing and then you verified the files and now it is no longer freezing?

[unique breach]

Well, do you think they should put the multiplatform as it already is, but can those who use Xbox and Play use the keyboard and mouse? Well, that's not my point of view.

[abstract shadow]

10 hours behind a line basically

[fallow rapids]

He’s obviously trolling

[shadow dove]

not even like a real line either just a line to a second line that is a lottery. LOL

[regal briar]

That does work for a lot of situations in a lot of games. Have you already checked for a driver update or tried rebooting?

[spring widget]

freedom of speech != freedom from consequences lil bro

[tropic folio]

skipping work to wait in line for a video game is your own decision, to be completely fair

[abstract shadow]

Thats my point you aint even guaranteed a space

[limpid plinth]

yes lots

[tulip bane]

rebooting resolves t he issue, but then when I play for 1-2 hours it starts freezing again and I have to reboot again

because its a terrible suggestion

[tropic folio]

based

[finite wagon]

we are playing BF4 PC in BF4 Squad 1 come join us

[green cipher]

Ngl this was pretty obvious in the discord messages and reddit post. You should not have taken time off work to wait in line for something that shouldn't have had a line in the first place

[wispy zephyr]

why are hc players so loud there's only like 100 of you and half of them are stuck in 2012 with bf4

[spring widget]

im pretty sure in 2007, moderation systems just simply didnt exist. if they could have made them, they wouldve

[brisk cosmos]

we are old and cant find anything else but games on discs

[limpid plinth]

whats wrong with hardcore its literally an optional gamemode

just don't play it if you don't want to

[fallow rapids]

People love to shit on anything

[green cipher]

Lol what did you do, edit the cookie that queue-it.net stores and then reload the page?

[hushed elbow]

hardcore is the best mode... to bad frags are too over powered

[limpid plinth]

what is this reddit?

[wispy zephyr]

splitting the playerbase is why 2042 matchmaking started struggling much sooner than it needed to, and the whole hazard zone identity crisis

[fallow rapids]

Pretty much

[spring widget]

if all you wanna do is shout racist slurs at other people, you dont need an online lobby to do it. just go outside

[fallow rapids]

250k discord server

[limpid plinth]

oh boy xD

[manic python]

Clans hosting the server had to do it all through r-con mate. At the time so it's definitely changed. they have so many auto-admin features possible now that werent there. All people

[tropic folio]

they don't have the spine to speak to real people, much less insult them

[wispy zephyr]

if you want hc, play a game that's actually hardcore instead of creating easy mode battlefield and pretending its hardcore

[hushed elbow]

why would anyone play the battlefailed when you can have a experience with arma and not a pew pew match like in Battlefailed 3 and its remakes

[novel hazel]

maybe i missed something but, is there a que for the Battlefield playtest? or am I awaiting an email or something?

[tropic folio]

probably because arma isn't battlefield

[limpid plinth]

bf2042 was dead on launch they baited the BF vets with a rendezook in their trailer and then shit on the franchise with stuff no one asked for

[hushed elbow]

its just better in everyway

[lapis tundra]

Look up battlefield labs online and go to the website and register

[tropic folio]

it's different in every way

[spring widget]

i logged into bf labs earlier. no queue

[tropic folio]

yeah man maybe read more carefully next time lol what a crazy message

[wispy zephyr]

first time seeing dice shenanigans?

[lime wedge]

i missed my spot twice by falling asleep because it was so long. im quite as disappointed at you with the no guarantee

[quartz siren]

What queue? I just signed up, answered few questions and they said to await an email

[fallow rapids]

This the 5th time you typed that, we get it, you’re trolling

Hilarious

[abstract shadow]

I pray this is satire

[fallow rapids]

No shit it is

[novel hazel]

thank you, i did try that and it just shows me a playtest profile but it says nothing is available.

[manic python]

When the admins got it right the server grew and stayed full 24-7 too. Good admins make good servers. Forcing one way fits all doesn't. Just I dont have any data to support my words. In fairness but i agree with you fwiw.

[shadow dove]

at this point hes just trolling, stop responding lol

[fallow rapids]

Homie is amusing himself

[tropic folio]

agreed, trash talk should be preserved but imo if people are gonna use it as an excuse for actual hate it's not worth having

[manic python]

There has to be a balance struck with the admins for that to work but definitely doable.

[devout wolf]

I only spawnkill helis and jets with my jet

no she is smarter than that

[manic python]

This was the norm for my first days gaming. All I knew for years so you won't get a - con-argument from me.

[devout wolf]

I could feel that

[tropic folio]

yeah nah

[devout wolf]

remember kids spawnkilling with passives is goated

majestic

[normal timber]

Always.

[devout wolf]

pay

[torpid osprey]

Did I just wait 15 hours in que to just sign up? 😂

[devout wolf]

I don't understand why people get so mad when I spawnkill them with my jet

helll nah homie I dunno what u gotta do

[tropic folio]

cry about it

[devout wolf]

it's a joke bro 😭

[fast magnet]

"You should have to endure slurs to play games" is certainly a take you could have

[devout wolf]

you should start invisible glitching and spawnkilling with a stack

[spring widget]

no i wont

[abstract shadow]

I cant believe I killed my cat for this line

[split rose]

[devout wolf]

he can't beat me in a jet 1v1

[fast magnet]

This dude is a fucking tool lmao

[devout wolf]

I have some epic clips I'd like to share about people melting, can I send it here

[fast magnet]

Calling someone a fuckstick and using words meant to dehumanize marginalized people are two different things dude

[devout wolf]

that's where the fun begins

[tropic folio]

there are thousands of words you can use that aren't slurs

[spring widget]

well i know you white as hell

Is there anything we can do if there is a cheater in a BFV game? It looks like cheaters increased since this announcement

[devout wolf]

Wow, glad Im not in line then. lol

This is my first ea test since anthem

[tropic folio]

what happened

[manic python]

Idk but my chat went red so disc msg queue prob got too big.

[spring widget]

damn they got the queue in discord

see, censorship isnt real

[prime pine]

Did discord fucking break.

[manic python]

Nah. Lol If that was a ban mine would be for talking battlefield. Kinda counterintuitive. XD

[dusk surge]

ban wave I assume

[prime pine]

Nvm it's discord of course it did.

[fast magnet]

Discord did a funny

[prime pine]

Plus also I think because of the high traffic in this server.

[rotund cedar]

Like waiting in line for Bonnie blue , not that I would know

[prime pine]

Yeah and I couldn't send messages.

[dense girder]

wasn't just this server

[spring widget]

who ate the cable

[manic python]

Would make sense. Just saying.

[wary sigil]

Fuck goin on

[dense girder]

nothin

[knotty salmon]

discord outage is fire guys

anyone else experience it

[dusk surge]

youre probably to scared to eat pizza because your teeth are too small

[knotty salmon]

meh iphone diff

rcs better

[gaunt quiver]

Some one have played the game?

[dusk surge]

yup rank 100

[knotty salmon]

apple had no choice but to actually add it

[gaunt quiver]

And how is the game?

[dusk surge]

shit

[twin fiber]

164315 ahead of me

[gaunt quiver]

Damn

[prime pine]

April 2026 has been apparently stated for the release date.

[gaunt quiver]

the next Battlefield expected for release before April 2026 www.videogameschronicle.com/news/ea-has-...

Bluesky · Feb 4, 2025, 9:24 PM

[gaunt quiver]

🥺 🤌

[latent trout]

So the next battlefield might launch October-November maybe

[spring widget]

somehow was expecting november 2025

[manic python]

Watch it be April 1st then they laugh.

[dusk surge]

its suposed to be fall 2025 from what i heard but who knows

[knotty salmon]

wtf global internet outage

[brisk cosmos]

with thier record April 1st more fitting

[midnight rivet]

who uses bluesky 😭

[twin fiber]

i worked hard for this spot in line

[knotty salmon]

wtf does color have to do with messaging

[weary sparrow]

bluesky in 2025 is crazy

[tropic folio]

so it's definitely end of this year, no way they release a game that early in the year

[latent trout]

What does it mean before April 2026

[abstract shadow]

Fiscal year

[weary sparrow]

it says 2026

[abstract shadow]

So its anytime within 2026 basically

[tropic folio]

before april 2026

[midnight rivet]

gta 6 before bf7

[prime pine]

I hope it's release in April 2016 because fuck it needs that.

[tropic folio]

it's fiscal year 2026, meaning april 25-26

[prime pine]

Oops 2026

[manic python]

I'll take a day 1 "highly playable state" in any year.

[knotty salmon]

discrimination, apple is discriminating people who arent in their ecosystem when android phones have so many advantages of their own compared to iphones

[tropic folio]

basically this is nothing new

[midnight rivet]

the time period wouldnt even be considered modern anymore

[latent trout]

I don’t wanna wait until 2026 💔

[harsh orchid]

Probably depends on how far dev gets pushed back from playtest results, so do your part and report stuff you see in there.

[abstract shadow]

I'm just glad they have a solid roadmap

I hope to GOD they dont ram cinematic trailers in our face

[midnight rivet]

wheres the roadmap?

[abstract shadow]

2026 is the roadmap

[midnight rivet]

🐴

[abstract shadow]

Fiscal year basically means thats the period they have set

[cosmic aspen]

Is there anything we do after we sign up? Do we get an email at all

[manic python]

Ohh if they are going SP again you know we get a trailer. Plus they used to always do one. Lol

[latent trout]

They won’t

[indigo wolf]

best maps in the series

[abstract shadow]

We are getting SP Motive are making it

[main olive]

nice

[tropic folio]

april 2025-2026

[harsh orchid]

I'll never forget how much fun I had dolphin diving with M16 and AK 101 in BF2. Those were the days

[midnight rivet]

ohhh i see

[main olive]

so fall 2025 ?

[abstract shadow]

Motive are the guys who did dead space btw

[prime pine]

They need to release as far as December.

[tropic folio]

judging from their previous release dates, fall 2025 is still most likely

[latent trout]

No

[manic python]

Bf2 was still a classic cinematic trailer. Guy swats a fly on his face in Dalian Plant and then arty comes down on him 😂

[spring widget]

yes ?

[midnight rivet]

cant wait to bet on gta of bf coming out first

[whole spire]

think that's alot of time for testing?

[bold harbor]

Quick Q, where can I see my queue placement for BF Labs?

[prime pine]

People like you are the same people who cry about the game being broken at release. The game needs plenty of time in development.

[midnight rivet]

i heard it was still in pre alpha though

[tropic folio]

it's a lot but not for any core changes. Better than nothing anyhow

[abstract shadow]

Its pre alpha so this is probably the first build they have

[midnight rivet]

bf10 VR

[manic python]

Thanks!

[main olive]

what if it wont make you wet?

[harsh orchid]

I'd love to see something like Battlelog again. External server browser, platoons for your clan, achievement tracking and stuff.

[latent trout]

Cod needs the competition

[spring widget]

i wouldnt call bf a cod competitor

[abstract shadow]

Suppossedly they have an entire studio on one game mode

[spring widget]

they didnt even bring back ground wars in bo6

[main olive]

battlelog was the shit. I loved that. Got banned multiple times tho, meaning i couldnt play the game because of the battlelog ban lol

[manic python]

Gimme that matchmaking and Im in.

Your estimated wait time is: 16 minutes

maybe in singleplayer, but it's unnecessary regardless

battlefield 2042 already has raytracing lol

[main olive]

only textures on high , the rest on low for better visibility

[abstract shadow]

I have one request

[manic python]

Hey, some consistency never hurts! We want to to be able to tell it's one game and actually Battlefield either mode. Eh

[abstract shadow]

Bring
Back
Levolution

[tropic folio]

iirc 2042 had ray traced ambient occlusion, which is just the most worthless implementation they could've gone with

[main olive]

a turd having raytracing doesnt make it good

[odd blaze]

I do, I max out everything! I need to see it in it's best form when playing. My FPS is pretty good on max.

[opal stag]

BF V and 2042 already has some level of RT

[abstract shadow]

145650

[long orchid]

2042 runs really well with RT, I dont see any issue with them including it, and you can always just turn it off...

[buoyant cobalt]

@harsh orchid I too would love to see that too

[spring widget]

i play on a crt, so i dont see ray tracing

[manic python]

Idk some artists can put some high spectral reflections on that and make a pretty turd w/ 2025 render technology. 😂

[abstract shadow]

If I dont get added in to the test I am going to have words with Dice

[tropic folio]

the eye only sees 30fps anyway /s

thats still 30 fps

My position got reset cause I was eating.

[long orchid]

I wouldnt put your hopes up for no battle pass...

[abstract shadow]

Thats been proven to be false with 60FPS I cant speak for 120 but its definitely not the case

[polar pasture]

do you not know what "/s" means?

[buoyant cobalt]

I hope they dont lock things behind a paywall like what HellDivers did

[opal stag]

That's understandable

[tropic folio]

/s for sarcasm

I got queued for 16 hours
I slept went to work and checked on my lunch break and I was at 7500th position lol

[lime moss]

We need a battlefield bad company but go back to it's roots and not the 2042 route

[abstract shadow]

Bro by the time I get added I'll be at F175
For context thats next Monday

[polar pasture]

BC1 was goat

[spring widget]

i hope they're able to implement the finals level of destruction but spread across 64 clients

[buoyant cobalt]

L A M E

[long orchid]

I had to wait for like 380000 spots, my official spot was over a million

[polar pasture]

fat chance

[abstract shadow]

Same

I'm over a million

[royal gull]

This fiscal year? Yeah that's not enough time for anything significant to come from Labs. Just a gussied up marketing ploy

[boreal kite]

EA/Dice if you just remaster BF4 or BF3 and leave Metro totally as-is, you will have my life

[long orchid]

Crazy right! Shows how many of us want to see them turn this around

[spring widget]

this might be a way to get balancing feedback from players more directly, and less about real playtesting

[manic python]

I'm not getting to test anything. Lol No Illusions here.

[abstract shadow]

I have hope because the guy who did TF1s multiplayer is leading this

He also did mw2

[long orchid]

Yeah they better not do that

[boreal kite]

When are they adding titans to battlefield fr

[rustic herald]

Never

[fringe yarrow]

Yeah he was the OG respawn CEO (i dont know if he still is), i have hope

[spring widget]

crease his jordans

[pulsar cove]

Does anybody know when playtesting starts

[rustic herald]

Soon

[long orchid]

Within a week or so

[abstract shadow]

Nope respawn shifted focus to mid star wars games and Apex midgends

[rustic herald]

10 minutes

[sick crescent]

sup guys!

[dense girder]

"coming weeks"

[boreal kite]

"Our first external NDA test sessions will begin in the coming weeks"

[rustic herald]

[fringe yarrow]

i like the jedi games :( and apex was great at first but its def run its course

[past wedge]

Nobody will remember you from that goofy ass skin you wear but only nickname that you were pilot in chopper that killed you 50 times.

[abstract shadow]

Lets be real no ones following that NDA except for me

[pulsar cove]

Thank you brotato 👊

[boreal kite]

I stg if people break their NDAs and ruin it for the rest of us, I'm gonna be so sad

[abstract shadow]

Fr

[whole spire]

now u said its going to happen

[abstract shadow]

nobody break nda

[gritty bane]

1m people in queue jfc

[abstract shadow]

Just invite your mates around for a gaming sesh 😭😂

[spring widget]

they wont shut down the labs program if a leak happen, it just gives them grounds to sue you if they find yo ass

[pulsar cove]

Im hoping theirs a k9 call in sort of like the robot dog in 2042

[abstract shadow]

You aint breaking any rules

[boreal kite]

Yeah. If they're smart, they'll do what most other studios do now which is have a ton of watermarks with a unique ID all over the screen but at a low opacity so it's not too distracting

[vast vale]

has anyone actually signed a non disclosure agreement yet or am i just stupid 😭

[boreal kite]

Nope. Nothing's happened yet. Just a rather informal signup

[abstract shadow]

Honestly I've been in the gaming industry for years and I would just love to sign an NDA

[polar pasture]

I'd tell you but I'm not allowed to

[vast vale]

got it

[spring widget]

yeah thats pretty standard

[abstract shadow]

I've gamed since I was a kid

I wanna see the contract side of it

[boreal kite]

It's really nothing special

[pulsar cove]

Im hoping this game dont cost 100 dollars like gta 6 is projected to cost 😢

[manic python]

NDA just comes in the email and you check to agree when your key goes out to you. Well..USED to. For Bf3,4,1, etc

[tropic folio]

ngl it's super fun, makes you feel special

[devout mauve]

if you watch the trailer again, the 15 seconds, the soldiers look more like the british army instead of the U.S yknow

[abstract shadow]

Yup grew up on the Gameboy with pokemon crystal

[spring widget]

the nda can be summarized to

• you cant talk, share or show anything about the game
• if you do, you die irl
• im outside your house

[pulsar cove]

@spring widget they will place a sentry turret at youre doorstep if you post about gameplay

[vast vale]

but unfortunately someone is gonna break it anyways considering this play test is probably gonna be huge

[jagged quarry]

I heard about battlefield labs with their new game coming out. Excited to participate and help y'all out for that 😄

[abstract shadow]

Nah I've deep dived every aspect of the industry and I even travelled two hours to get to play a game early at London 😭

[manic python]

We don't need any anchor people breaking news for us so we can find out and be surprised for once. 100

We- the not test people

[spring widget]

but obviously people want the clout of distributing info to news outlets so.. itll happen regardless of nda's

[abstract shadow]

No your safe

[tropic folio]

you came all the way over here? fun

[mint sigil]

😔 ✊

[odd hinge]

after the part where it asks for your state it just kicked me out, is there anything important after that?

[abstract shadow]

I love London

[spring widget]

you live in the wrong state

[long orchid]

Im so old that I built my first computer (for a friend actually) when BF2 announced and I used one of the first dual core cpu's the Athalon X2, I was ahead of my time lol... It wasn't really a thing yet

[mint sigil]

Yup, I just did it for the joke 💀

[tropic folio]

great place to visit for sure

[abstract shadow]

Fr

[boreal kite]

Is it still?

[abstract shadow]

I'll be back in 2 weeks for 02

[manic python]

I couldn't find the State Of Confusion. Just these places on my map. lol

[abstract shadow]

If you know the right areas yeah

[west bramble]

i played Battlefield 2 on an Athlon64 3800+

[mint sigil]

Nah, screw the ip ban bro, they going hardware on this one 😤

[odd hinge]

Is there anything after that though?

[tropic folio]

just hold onto your phone

[spring widget]

yes

[vast vale]

imagine if someone does it like the Halo 4 barn leak 😭
that shit is going to make my year

[long orchid]

A much better choice than the X2 lol, games were much better with single core performance

[abstract shadow]

@tropic folio canary wharf has a killer burger place

[manic python]

NVidia GeForce 5200 here. lol No joke a dell dinemsion. Single core pentium

[odd hinge]

hmm it said I was all set up

[tropic folio]

which one? i don't go around there often

[spring widget]

then its all good

[mint sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-emoji-gif-25749073

[west bramble]

yeah but i had the biggest jump in fps when i switched from 1mbit to 6mbit internet. GPU was an ATI 800xt

[mint sigil]

no embed 😔 ✊

[long orchid]

Anyone remember the eMachines program? Any time something broke they would give you a new computer... I had that thing upgraded so many times lmao

[abstract shadow]

If you go to Market hall which is just of the elizabeth line leading up to One Canada plaza its called Black Bear burger

[west bramble]

felt hole different with better interwebs

[manic python]

the hd5000 radeon series was a prety big one too 5900, 5800 etc

[tropic folio]

sounds interesting, i'll keep an eye out

[wary sigil]

Embed fail LUL

[mint sigil]

Bruh, just upgrade your vram 😎

It'll run it fr

[abstract shadow]

Be warned that drinks are quietttt pricey

The burgers lush tho

[manic python]

That was old bf2 days mate XD

Not now

[mint sigil]

ram.com is crazy

[manic python]

Yes

[tropic folio]

meh everything's expensive in london, especially near central, i've just accepted it haha

[past pike]

thank you for life hack

[mint sigil]

I prefer to use dwnram.uk.gov

[west bramble]

on weekends i switched to Special Forces to get eyecancer from the night vision

[abstract shadow]

They somehow perfected the art of a greasy burger that doesnt produce grease everywhere

[abstract shadow]

They also melt the cheese on a grill

[tropic folio]

oh that sounds dreamy

[pulsar cove]

Is that free battelfield remake any good

[abstract shadow]

It really is

They even have burger sauce plus theres not a single bit of grease on the buns

[spring widget]

mcdonald could never

[manic python]

I never got to play SF or Armored Fury or whatever lol We stayed hosting BF2 v 1.0 and all of that Jalalabad Road and stuff was v1.4 -1.5 By then.

[tropic folio]

really selling it to me, damn i gotta go there

[mint sigil]

Ronald has been known to get greasy at times

[past pike]

yeah, I always wonder if i last longer ... what would happen to me? 👀

[turbid parcel]

guys i cant wait for this battlefield to release with no scoreboard and voice chat too. and just for funsies they should disable the ability to switch squads too 🤩

[mint sigil]

[fast magnet]

No fast food burger will ever match culvers

[wooden grove]

Number of users in line ahead of you: 330
Your estimated wait time is: less than a minute

[tropic folio]

they should release it but instead of a game there's just a menu screen with no play button

[turbid parcel]

wouldnt want peoples feelings getting hurt when you display their -kd on the scoreboard

[abstract shadow]

I love it 😭 I went there on accident because my friend didnt want to go to London because he complained it was expensive so we ended up in Canary wharf

[thorn wind]

my wait time got reset wth now im at a million dude

[cursive arch]

Did you guys see the new battlefield 6 footage at the end of the battle labs trailer

[mint sigil]

in and out goes crazy depending on the location

[turbid parcel]

use the incognito method. i didnt have to wait a single minute to do it

[median sigil]

hue is up for some rounds together or are you just doing bla bla bla blub ,Bf2042 is waiting for you !

[mint sigil]

that was basically my 2042 beta experience on xbox series s 💀

[manic python]

We have to use markup to tally scores thru microsoft paint lmao

[west bramble]

me and my friend really felt like hackerman back then when we played the demo in coop vs bots. When you hosted a singleplayer round you could join your friend on his game by writing connect (insert ip here) on LAN

[spring widget]

theres a free game ?

damn

[chilly karma]

Can you really suggest it? Let’s have bigger air to air map with airfields

[boreal kite]

I can't wait for it to have a text chat that censors cursing (and hides it from you so that you don't know it happened) while your in-game character is swearing like a sailor. It'll be just like 2042 😊

[chilly karma]

No more exit battle areas when flying around.

[abstract shadow]

We need jets back

I dont mean Vtols

[cyan wigeon]

Would love to see maps like Grand Bizzare and seine crossing from battlefield 3

[abstract shadow]

I mean jets

[past pike]

also .. All Chat is turned off by default

[mint sigil]

real, they gotta remember what M for mature means

[boreal kite]

Yeah that shit bothers me

[spring widget]

more vehicles on the ground thanks

[manic python]

We need the unbalanced formats back too. One side had an uncap the other had to hold out or get wiped and round over..That was a way Bf2 kept it from bottlenecking. If you cant hold a point its game over instead of two hours of base spawn killing by winning side

[chilly karma]

It can be a place to clear house and aircraft quicker, but you’ll have to drive there. It’ll be a perfect balance.

[polar pasture]

bad company was a better game for NOT having jets

[west bramble]

would be kind of funny to have an ingame AI which analyze what you say on VOIP and if you re doing good teamwork you get EXP for it

[tropic folio]

a data collection dream

[mint sigil]

Nah, the bad company games were so good

[spring widget]

literally social credit

[boreal kite]

I hope to God that they never make a Titanfall 3. It would be so lame because of today's game industry climate

[past pike]

lol same .... it makes game too quiet.

[west bramble]

we re on discord which is mostly owned by tencent...sooo

[tropic folio]

valid

[mint sigil]

yeah, plus the clips that would come from an all chat

[cyan wigeon]

Bf3 bf4 golden era for battlefield will be grate to get them battlefield moments back again

[boreal kite]

COD already does this but it's just to ban you if you say naughty words 💀

[cyan wigeon]

Na u need prone

[chilly karma]

It to be perfect for balancing instead of the aircraft, having unlimited ammo and being cared lost line around driving or flying back to the airbase can give you better repairs received and get back into battle. It will also balance the infantry and vehicle combat

[mint sigil]

most are on discord calls or parties on console fr

[opaque ferry]

I GOT BF4 TO WORK LETS GOOOOOO

[polar pasture]

I know they were... but I preferred the properly scaled 32p CQ with no jets personally

[tropic folio]

no no no, people want the old games back but not the things that made the old games what they were

[opaque ferry]

punkbuster kept installing not in system32

[prime pine]

@indigo sedge destroyed landship in France.

[west bramble]

yeah and if you hear someone you hear a loud tv in the background with kids talking random stuff xD

[abstract shadow]

I sent a pic of that borg since none of us have perms

[cyan wigeon]

Prone is realistic I suppose

[fast magnet]

Culvers > in n out

[boreal kite]

They rare person I encounter who has a mic on just has a ton of background noise and loud music coming through the mic constantly. Also a smoke detector chirp. I'll leave the console they use up to the imagination but like, the one time someone's got their mic on and it's just noise 😔

[manic python]

See you know the good old days then. For sure. Fly back do a few passes by to rearm and recover. no regenerative in flight armor. Etc base returns made that good.

[mint sigil]

Honestly I've never been a fan of the jets but I love the helicopters. Made some insane memories on BC2 with that black hawk

[polar pasture]

Helis are necessary

[west bramble]

yeah probably players who forget that their controllers mic is on xD

[mint sigil]

real

[polar pasture]

Honestly BFBC2 Vietnam was my personally favorite flavor of BF ever

[long orchid]

This just makes me happy to be single with no kids lol, no extra mic BS from me!

[unreal mist]

I waited in Que now it says there’s no play tests available at the moment

[mint sigil]

For sure, I really hope they do them right with this new game

[past pike]

I heard some dude sang in mics ... so funny lol

[tropic folio]

now that's a real gamer, just need the shit bucket

[chilly karma]

I’ve always felt like the repairs in the rear you get should be based off of the amount of points. You have think of it like battlefield 1 squad ticket system.

[manic python]

That'd make sense enough for me

[mint sigil]

😭

[indigo sedge]

crazy. that's insane

[abstract shadow]

137765

[mint sigil]

that'll be like 12 hours 💀

[unreal mist]

13 hour Que now what lol

Where’s my playtest lol

[chilly karma]

I say, if people want to play a realistic feature, they should look at squad with some of its features, especially how they balance the vehicles

[cold kelp]

2nd time i miss the queue time cuz i slept . back to 1.3m queue

[abstract shadow]

If I dont get in I'm rampaging

[cold kelp]

WOW

SHITTY SYSTEM

[long orchid]

Its better than the site going down from traffic...

[indigo wolf]

do it from the ea website, go to account settings, and click on ea playtest

[dusk surge]

resident sleeper

[prime pine]

It is. If you ever head to France I have to highly recommend you going there. There's even a ww1 museum full of relics.

[indigo wolf]

i did that and didn't have to wait for the queue

[boreal kite]

EA is too good for Google Forms. They have to use their own system (and have it be unable to handle the load)

[prime pine]

Mixed of destroyed and almost pristine weapons.

[boreal kite]

Me when I need to run a survey from an ASP.NET server for some reason

[prime pine]

Gorgeous guns.

[dusty otter]

eyy you're unmuted

[prime pine]

This is technically battlefield related!

[spring widget]

still popular today, dont see the problem

[gritty igloo]

Depends. If we talk bf 2042, no.
If we talk bf 3/4, yes

[manic python]

Yea, something just integrated into the game enough to make it BF-like action or add something useful for the bigger picture, but not too tedious of simulation to take the fun out for more casual ppl.

[tropic folio]

the playtesting website worked fine for years until a million people tried to use it at once

[hollow badge]

I'm in the que just chilling its been abit

[latent trout]

This game is gonna be fantastic

[boreal kite]

I just like throwing shade at microsoft products (also they really should've put this behind a load balancer of some sort and just scaled up. Surely they have the money to handle that instead of just throttline the number of connections and dumping people in a queue)

[dusty otter]

now if cats gets unmuted too, this server will become quite more bearable for me

[naive saffron]

Bf3 bf4 meilleur jeux

[spring widget]

probably better as a short term solution

[boreal kite]

True but it still is frustrating for the end-user

[dusty otter]

alteast we have an eta

[manic python]

A combination of Bf2 , 3 and 4 would be right up a lot of peoples' alley. Those 3 games are the ones i hear most. Limited sample size ofc.

[boreal kite]

What's with all the mutes? Are the mods power crazy here?

[tight rain]

Goddamn that’s some pitting

[boreal kite]

Noted...

[gritty igloo]

Ok, don't really care what people want.
What I care about is the product they are making. Battlefield definitely is less arcadey Vs cod and I like that.

If I want something very realistic, I go play hell let loose

[abstract shadow]

This has to be a lie how are so many people in a 15minute long slot

[tropic folio]

they seem to only do something if a user reports it, but they also seem to take questionable actions on some reports

[tight rain]

This used to be a good neighbourhood

[west bramble]

yesterday i just needed to press F5 once and then direclty could enter the questionaire.

[tight rain]

I could fuck with that

[boreal kite]

iirc this was a community server previously, right?

[tight rain]

Yessir

[dusk surge]

commander mode is pretty cool, and voice chat among squad leaders would be nice, not even vc just like being able to see their orders would be enough

[mint sigil]

Nah that would be crazy

[dusty otter]

well lets just say they take.. interesting approaches to issues.

[steady spade]

What we should have is a customizable character. And if we want cosmetics for it thats shouldnt be a problem. Why shouldnt we be able to run around kitted out as Marsoc, or norwegian special forces or grom? I mean, just give us the possibility to get different camos that exist, and different plate carriers, battle belts, headgear and stuff

[tight rain]

There was an impressive quality drop when EA took over

[boreal kite]

Many such cases

[gritty igloo]

It would, but nobody wants to do it because you either make game pegi18 or you have to put resources for extra moderation under some EU laws so everyone is avoiding it these days

[manic python]

For the crowd of old school war. They shouldnt throw it out either. Heck they have so much money we should be able to jump eras. lol have the weapons in their respective time periods. Let people customize the rest.Like if they want to do servers mixing time periods they can host it or something

[steady spade]

agreed

[scenic elm]

in BF2 and 2142 the commander was a normal soldier on the field

[steady spade]

more customization, but no special abilities. There should be "classes" of some sorts. But you should be able to choose your attributes for your chart

[long orchid]

Id really like to see something like this, let us pick our body type and then just apply different armors etc for various factions we fight for. Would be a little unrealistic for some situations but hey you know "diversity" and all...

[dusk surge]

if its done correctly i think itd be great, but it shouldnt determine win or loss. plus theres plenty of actual players who contribute even less lmao

[wheat delta]

is there a limit to who gets into the new bf. I just registered

[scenic elm]

what not being on sale does to a games image

[west bramble]

classic server rule was "No fighting commander"

adaptive camo please

[tropic folio]

sounds like a dream

[boreal kite]

It's supposedly random and people who sign up later will still be considered for the test

[scenic elm]

yea because you gota be passive to use your abilities effectivly unfortunatly

[long orchid]

The classes are great, they said they are going back to that and no specialists

[wheat delta]

gotcha thanks

[indigo wolf]

i would like how they did it in conquest in bf3 end game and bf4 where the ac130 was a capture point and armored vehicles would deploy out of planes in parachutes

[fast magnet]

interrupting this convo to say hello fellow based fika enjoyer
