I am sad that Battlefield seems to have to stay stuck in modern times.

Give me some battlefield military sci fi. I want mechs, rail guns, hover tanks, orbital strikes (BF2142)

[prime pine]

They'll be filtered out.

[crystal mulch]

Yeee

[proud scaffold]

We can calm down on that take 🙏

[crystal mulch]

Nice to see you again in here still though

[tropic folio]

i did for infinite warfare, it was on sale and i enjoy space games

[crystal mulch]

Thank

[tropic folio]

futuristic shooters have so much potential

[icy kayak]

a noob without multiplayer skills lol

[proud scaffold]

Thank goodness

You clarified

[next timber]

I disagree, extremely. I respect your opinion, but I could not disagree more

[frank olive]

An actual large segment of players. Like substantially so that BO4 didnt sell as well as the others because it didnt have a single player

[scenic elm]

any one who plays older cods just buys them for zombies or campaign because you get hacked by a Russian guy from Irkutsk if you try to play multiplayer

[proud scaffold]

I would disagree in some aspects

[prime pine]

Same. :)

[tropic folio]

dude i don't know it was like 10 years ago lol

[prime pine]

People will complain.

[gilded halo]

Fair but you don’t need to Write them in, leave it up the player to literally build their identity with their customization choices, such as picking country/lgbtq patches along with a diverse set of player models to build off

[crystal mulch]

Still playing 2042?

[prime pine]

Unfortunately.

[crystal mulch]

I haven't touched it in ages

[prime pine]

Uhh

Nah

[unique kettle]

I did mate the starting going more Cod because BF lacked hard. But still a fan and wish they will bring it back as we know

[prime pine]

I'm done. I got my garand to tier 1 .

I did get some mighty hate mail.

[crystal mulch]

Ahhh

I ain't played 2042 in like maybe 2 years? idk

Been a while

[next timber]

I get hate DM's on discord all the time, It's like a reward

[prime pine]

Lemme find it.

@next timber @crystal mulch

[tropic folio]

bo6 was mid as fuck jesus you have poor taste

[prime pine]

First game in months.

[tropic folio]

mw2019 and cold war were the last good stories we had

[crystal mulch]

Nice lmao

[pale flume]

traditionally multiplayer was the reason people played BF because that's what the devs focussed on. The story just isn't the draw card

[next timber]

yeah that seem's about rigth

[violet flare]

Yoo when this labs text supposed to start I need to get into the field

[tropic folio]

yeah that's what i'm talking about

[unique kettle]

I enjoyed Ghost and the Modern Warfare ones. Captain Price just feel love there

[royal oak]

first you need a field kit

[prime pine]

I refunded black ops 6 and got 140 aud back.

All I'm doing now is playing the sims 2.

[wind estuary]

To apologize for BFV and bf2042 dice has made a snowman ⛄️ you can build up with a shovel on a map by pressing rt trigger👀

All is forgiven now!

[opal schooner]

I enjoyed BO6's campaign 😔

[next timber]

he just young, don't remember the actual good cod, COD4

[gilded halo]

Multiplayer in cod feels like it has no depth besides mindless shooting, even on objective based modes

[violet flare]

I am the kit send me

[icy kayak]

you right

[polar ore]

what platform did you refund on?

[prime pine]

Black ops 6's campaign was one of the better ones and I'm glad i got to experience it.

Steam.

[crystal mulch]

Impatiently waiting for mon hun wilds whilst playing dynasty warriors origins

[prime pine]

[tropic folio]

it was enjoyable, as in i enjoyed shooting people and all the cinematic sequences, but the story just felt super bland and underbaked

[prime pine]

I'm waiting for ratatan and the new doom game

[next timber]

YES MAN, YES! IM SO HYPED FOR WILDS

[polar ore]

im on battlenet not sure if i can refund on there

[eternal hill]

Battlefield V is underrated, change my mind

[crystal mulch]

🤝

[polar ore]

BF V was goated

[tropic folio]

really dating yourself here

[warped temple]

i liked bf4s story..

[polar ore]

Valid

[proud scaffold]

Case being the third brainwashed dude in the cod franchise 😭

[next timber]

Bf3's was better tbh

[prime pine]

In a lot of ways it does feel like I'm going through bf5's pre release again with the bad faith shit around it.

[frank olive]

In todays episode of people not understanding that other people have different opinions and that their opinion is not, nor ever has been, objective fact.

[tropic folio]

case felt like such a nothing burger with a super lackluster ending

[unique kettle]

Remake was solid until MW3 but i was allways a bigger Battlefielde Fan in the hole. So at the moment hyped. Lets wait and see mate

[eternal hill]

Also hardline was REALLY cool, there’s no other game like that

[warped temple]

the part where theyre on the navy ship and theres a soldier stuck under the grate while the place is flooding, and you watch him drown in front of your eyes broke my heart

[prime pine]

Though this chat is certainly the most productive I've had on this server for years.

[solar nexus]

Bf5 could've done better if it got the unreleased contents like the german, Soviet factions and maps

[icy kayak]

I received HELL Let Loose for free on Epic Store and I didn't even play because I don't like WW2

[solar nexus]

Black ops is better than modern warfare

[next timber]

💯

[scenic elm]

hell let lose is kinda mid

[proud scaffold]

So real

[unique kettle]

Best one

[next timber]

That is the actual most insane opinion

[scenic elm]

shame they cut so much

[proud scaffold]

Sykes

[opal schooner]

Most productive I've seen since I've been here, so many people here are just straight up sexist and homophobic

[proud scaffold]

IM TIRED OF TEACHING THIS LESSON TO YOU BRO

[scenic elm]

black ops is better then modern warfare full stop ( original 4 games)

[next timber]

WHAT?! WHAT DID I DO NOW

[eternal hill]

It’s just me or HLL fell off the more content they added, the graphics were alright at the beginning and now they’re shitty lol

[prime pine]

The server has been dead and this the most life since 2042's pre release.

It's depressing really.

[frank olive]

I thought this was the #battlefield-legacy-titles channel?

[next timber]

Actually crazy opinion. Alot of my friends agree, still insane tho.

[pale flume]

battlefield for battlefield plz

[scenic elm]

world at war

[unique kettle]

Is mate but we have to compare

[crystal mulch]

It was something back then haha

[proud scaffold]

NAH WORLD AT WAR GOTTA COUNT

[crystal mulch]

I remember it all

[proud scaffold]

RIGHT

[prime pine]

@crystal mulch

[frank olive]

Y'all need to move this to the #other-games channel, i'm trying to talk battlefield here lol

[opal schooner]

Graves is a good villain but I have no idea why they made him basically a protagonist in MW3, he literally killed so many civillians on purpose

[sweet zephyr]

what do u use to record this?

[tropic folio]

he was pretty good but i didn't like how they gave him a really mediocre death only to bring him back as a pseudo good guy

[crystal mulch]

Nice lmao

[royal oak]

wait

[frank olive]

Hacks. (good clip tho frfr)

[prime pine]

Uh nvidia experience.

Or app

[royal oak]

was that an rds on an m1 garand

[sweet zephyr]

Thanks

[prime pine]

That's nydar yeah.

[tropic folio]

i saw it coming from a mile away because there was no body and no confirmation of anything, but it's still just weak. Cod is too afraid to kill characters recently

[wind estuary]

This game is a looney toon shooter now

They need to take battlefield out the name because it has nothing to do with war

[keen ledge]

I completed my beta registration so now I'm waiting for the email?

[prime pine]

Did you guys play a lot of bf3?

That had so many sweats.

[unique kettle]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4OFo4VzeE6s

[tropic folio]

is this all you say the whole day

[prime pine]

Yeah just wait.

[pale flume]

for years on end

[keen ledge]

Not everyone is qualified, right?

[next timber]

I was one the sweats. I had all of my kills in that game with M16A3.

[prime pine]

They're being overloaded so it might take a little while for them to get back to you.

[tropic folio]

not everyone, but at the peak it seems tens of thousands will be playtesting

[next timber]

I played an actual fuckton of BF3

[opal schooner]

Yeah BF3 had jumpshooting and dolphin-diving. Sweats find a way

[prime pine]

I say this because everyone skipped to get max speed and all that shit yet people are complaining that is what battlefield is NOW.

[pale flume]

a Hawk opening up in a corridor ahhhhhhh

[tropic folio]

bf3 was so good, the blue filter lives in my head rent free

[scenic elm]

god dam M16A3, single handedly made me consider boosting the Aug but i got it legit

[prime pine]

It's always been like this. You're just blind.

[next timber]

870MCS on the map with the shipping containers as well. Wild times

[frank olive]

First thing you learn when learning game system design:

"Players will find a way to optimize the fun out of your game"

[prime pine]

I main the m16 hard on 2042 i love it to bits.

[gilded halo]

anyone struggle on the modern setting titles, i started on 1 back in 2017 and can only play 1 and V well but struggle on 4

[icy kayak]

The mode capture the flag in Desert Combat mode, I have never known so much heart palpitation in a game, but i dont remember the name of WW2 map

[next timber]

Got nerfed 6 times, still the best gun

[prime pine]

I think I'm coming up to 20k with it there..

[pale flume]

spit some flachets on that thang

[keen ledge]

I hope I can get it. Do they have any inspection conditions?

[unique kettle]

no mate

[scenic elm]

BF3 be like : if it can't beat the M16A3 in SOMETHING don't even bother using it on assault

[royal oak]

aek out rpm'ed it

ak out accuracy'd it

[next timber]

The M416 did become viable after the M16 got nerfed for the last time, but still

[gilded halo]

Which kind of people can get it and which kind of people can’t get it

Who would like a mod capture the flag for the next Battlefield?

[golden flower]

how many people got accepted to playtest

[prime pine]

Not sure

[fallen orchid]

think, no one for the moment

[next timber]

I'm playing BF6 rn idk what yall be doing

[tropic folio]

nobody yet

[royal oak]

turn around bro, I'm right behind you

[golden flower]

didn't people say they get emails

etc

[prime pine]

I'm sure i turn motion blur off.

[fallen orchid]

trash or trolls i guess

[next timber]

😨

[prime pine]

Eh I don't really care..

[tropic folio]

they will get emailed in the coming weeks, any emails they got might've been from creating an account, not signing up for the playtest

[scenic elm]

BF1 operations or BFV operations ?

[golden flower]

🤬 Aghrr

[keen ledge]

Approximately how many people are registered now?

[unique kettle]

Versteht die grösste mehrheit nicht 😆

[scenic elm]

so breakthrough pretty much

[golden flower]

gg

[royal oak]

avgn on motion blur - How would you like to play a game and have a headache

[prime pine]

Headache up coming and its 1:30 am. I should sleep.
My settings are a weird mix and maybe I turned it on accidentally eho knows.

[gilded halo]

dude that gamemode is what defines modern battlefield

[fickle depot]

i used to play

[prime pine]

It was good talking to you all.

[fickle depot]

btw im banned from playing it cuz i live in iran

[tropic folio]

see you way

[scenic elm]

Operations/Breakthrought replaced Rush

Run with a flag in hand, to know the whole server that runs after you, the heart rate increases a lot

[next timber]

oooo nooooooooor

[tropic folio]

it means you're on the list of potential playtesters, they'll email you if you're chosen

[gilded halo]

Shlawg I’ve been playing it since 2017

[next timber]

H20 Just Add Water is THE BEST thing to come out of Australia, period.

[fickle depot]

no

[fallen orchid]

nope, just you are the participant of the draw

[tropic folio]

is that home made water or something

[hearty cargo]

😭

[fickle depot]

ur just a slave to the society

[next timber]

Nah it's this campy show about some teens who turn into mermaids

[gilded halo]

lol, operations is what made bf1 and V so great, feels so much more like an actual war than conquest

[solid hinge]

dont buy until real reviews, shrimple

[tropic folio]

wow

ngl that teaser had me a little excited too, but i'm keeping expectations low. 2042 had really good marketing as well

[solid hinge]

i hate him cuz hes ugly

[swift sigil]

Nothing wrong with hoping it's gonna be good. Just keep expectations on level of 2042. Higher the expectation, bigger the disappointment.

[scenic elm]

Red orchestra/Rising storm did this type of gamemode better

[gilded halo]

Never tried it, aren’t those games more hardcore though?

[unique kettle]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4OFo4VzeE6s

[solid hinge]

specialists are gone, they posted the 4 traditional classes

[fickle depot]

if u become richest of riches ur not a slave ur master slave

[lofty pollen]

it's confirmed

[scenic elm]

less hud , you have fast respawns , like 600 tickets for Both teams , 32vs32 on atack-defend type of maps ala breakthrough, you die in only a few hits, no health regen or anything like that

[swift sigil]

My concern is in game monetization. I don't expect much

[lofty pollen]

the specialshits are gone

[solid hinge]

they should add fortnite dances tho

[lofty pollen]

MW19 had nice grounded emotes

[unique kettle]

They defenet got to show more

[wooden matrix]

more importantly bring back the cte

[lofty pollen]

not map design

[scenic elm]

not happening, EA wants Live service, you will get live service

[lofty pollen]

Piccadilly, what a bunch of horseshit

[scenic elm]

the only positive is that unleast you don't need to buy dlcs for maps, the bad part is you don't get any maps

[solid hinge]

mw19 has bad visibility and relied on giant name tags, but yeah cod sucks. unplayable

[lofty pollen]

Wasn't MW19 also the first CoD to separate lobbies?

[edgy mantle]

I just don't like how stiff and over-the-top mw19 anims look

Sure they're technically better but they just don't feel fluid to me

Bf2042 anims are even worse

[fickle depot]

every cod after bo3 was shit

even bo3 multiplayer was good campain was ass

[swift sigil]

They should have made 2 out of 4 maps per dlc free imo. Otherwise it was great when we had 30 maps per Battlefield

[edgy mantle]

BF3/4/1/V had great animations

[lofty pollen]

MW19 was also the start of SBMM issues

[unique kettle]

I would buy skins but no bunny rabbits

[lofty pollen]

it really does seem like most of the issues CoD has today started with MW19

[solid hinge]

its been copy pasted since then with the new engine

[scenic elm]

idk man, regardless. It's not happening because EA wants Live service

[icy kayak]

I prefer to kill with a knife without having an animation

[grave wedge]

first person knife animations are always superior

[minor pier]

true

[wicked canyon]

I just wish EA could back off the executive interference... it's actively harming their games.

[gilded halo]

unfortunatly its a "tremondous live service" hopefully its gonna be modeled better though

[grave wedge]

third person immediately gives off cod vibes and feels impersonal

[wicked canyon]

Just give us 2143

[swift sigil]

I like both no animation knife kill like CS or first person animation like BF4. 3rd person animation is just bs

[wicked canyon]

Titan mode in frostbite

[jolly fog]

This is accurate, it's when they stopped caring about their dedicated fans and more about milking their casuals and manipulating them

[unique kettle]

a thing that cod did good was that you can earn your points for the season pass i would want that for BF

[tribal temple]

Bfv/1 animations were the best

Fast and painful

[wicked canyon]

Why not?

[edgy mantle]

This is probably a stupid idea but can't they just add new content in the form of regular updates rather than turning everything into DLCs or season passes and stuff?

[mystic zephyr]

thats just like BF3 was

[scenic elm]

i bet 3rd person animations in 2042 where made just because Cod has third person melee animations

[solid hinge]

bf animations got heavy since 1, i dont need to see the character hop in a vehicle. just teleport me in like 3/4

[edgy mantle]

Update 2: adds these vehicles

[wicked canyon]

Play BF2 or BF4 then

[edgy mantle]

Update 3: adds 10 new guns

[tribal temple]

Bf4 animations took 8-10 seconds

[edgy mantle]

Nothing else?

[wicked canyon]

BF4 is perfectly sound

[grave wedge]

4 at most unless it was a failed counter

[tribal temple]

Bfv you stick a knife in a guy and if he shrieks you punch him in the face

3 seconds

[tropic folio]

the problem was warzone, it's no coincidence

[scenic sentinel]

😩😩😩😩😩

[grave wedge]

bf4 is the perfect balance between fast and violent

[scenic elm]

depends on the weapon and the position of the enemy

[lofty pollen]

2143 won't be happening for a while

save it for games where you play as le epic specops dudes

[tribal temple]

It does, i was specifically thinking of knife from the left side as an example

I personally use clubs

I like the knee breaker from the left side with the club

[unique kettle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRN62IebC04

[scenic elm]

yea i know, i think the Longest animation is when you Strangle someone to death when they are prone and you come from the front

[scenic sentinel]

Trench knife bf1 is all you need

[grave wedge]

kicking a guys legs to stab him in the chest, uppercutting to slice him from the front, all great bf4 staples

[earnest rivet]

Anyone got any word of the beta? Has anyone gotten in yet?

[solid hinge]

the reloads in mw2019 are dope

[icy kayak]

If EA want to compete in COD, they must revive Medal of Honor, leave Battlefield for those who love Battlefield

[tropic folio]

it's not started yet, and it's not a beta

[edgy mantle]

hot take but they feel like fixing legos together

[earnest rivet]

That's what I meant lol

[edgy mantle]

Too stiff and janky

[solid hinge]

yeah delta force was a carbon copy of cod reloads until people pointed it out

[earnest rivet]

Beta alpha same thing different build

[tribal temple]

https://youtu.be/BWYzyo4LtmM?si=JztbAt8xvxrzE90t

https://youtu.be/fkBKB-hiYlI?si=Wytf0p8n52ydP56C

[scenic elm]

delta force was made by cod pepole so they made cod animations

[tribal temple]

Here, instead of talking about the animation you can watch the V and 4 animations side by side

[scenic elm]

they made cod mobile

[tribal temple]

Oh it doesn't embed

those are videos of bf4 and V melees

[grave wedge]

i still like to point out that bf4 by far had some of the best melee animations

[scenic elm]

it's mainly for the chinese market

if im not mistaken

[earnest rivet]

I currently have 10k cod points on mobile

[solid hinge]

i wouldnt say those are cod people. even if they were involved with mobile

[grave wedge]

it felt like a struggle no matter what, as it should

[edgy mantle]

I actually tried battlefield mobile and it was actually really fun 😭

[grave wedge]

reminds me of GR Breakpoint

[edgy mantle]

I wish it wasn't cancelled

[scenic sentinel]

Yall ever In class and gotta shit so bad you sweat

[tribal temple]

I will watch both from the videos I sent and pick my favorites

[grave wedge]

def not

4 had more punching and took a bit longer

[scenic elm]

some of them are the same but they added the extreamly janky front stab animations

[grave wedge]

a bit more violent but still professional

[swift sigil]

Also I do hope we'll get roadmap for next BF before launch to see how many maps/vehicles/weapons/gadgets we can expect at launch and at the end of game's cycle.

[tribal temple]

I think that's the split-bf1/v were more brutal and desperate

[earnest rivet]

Nah just one map and three guns

[grave wedge]

4's frontal stabs were fine but the netcode was kinda bad for it

[tropic folio]

i think a pre-release roadmap is a bit optimistic. We'll probably get some idea from the playtests

[graceful kiln]

`How can we suggest things? A good suggestion would be to bring back Tier 1. For example, to reach Tier 1, you would have to start at Tier 5 and gradually increase the number of kills to move up. That way, whoever reaches Tier 1 would have truly put in a great effort.

It would be great if it worked like this:

Tier 5 – 3,000 kills
Tier 4 – 6,000 kills
Tier 3 – 12,000 kills
Tier 2 – 24,000 kills
Tier 1 – 48,000 kills

For each tier, a skin would be unlocked for both weapons and vehicles. However, the skins should blend with the game's environment—nothing too colorful or over-the-top.`

[scenic elm]

if it's not for a seperate competetive mode it would end like cod with SBMM for everything

[scenic sentinel]

Why the hell is it typed like that

[grave wedge]

multiple times I've been stabbed from the front when it was actually a side and vice versa

not to mention a guy turns around in 0.1s but their animation doesn't reflect it so the second I knife them clearly from behind, crouched, it turns into standing frontal

[scenic elm]

Ah I see

[unique kettle]

Thats how BF was

[grave wedge]

will check out later

[tropic folio]

is this for the whole character or per weapon? Because assuming you get 50 kills per game, each game lasting 30 minutes, you'd spend almost 500 hours to get one weapon to tier 1

[lyric birch]

👋 hello

[scenic elm]

And then they counter stab you and you die

[tribal temple]

https://youtu.be/BWYzyo4LtmM?si=SC-gX_rA0gVtARmt

[grave wedge]

yep

[swift sigil]

I know it is but considering 2042 started with like 7 maps and ended with 15 (if I remember correctly) I do think they should made some reassurance that we'll get decent amount of maps at launch and at the end of the game.

[lyric birch]

battlefield 5

[scenic sentinel]

V

[tribal temple]

The left side knife slice that makes him spin is pretty good

[grave wedge]

still, being able to defend front knifes is a cool idea

but the qte is also really easy

[unique kettle]

Best last BF was 1

[lyric birch]

of course if it even starts, i still cant launch it on steam lmao

[tropic folio]

i agree it'd be a nice bit of transparency

[tribal temple]

I like V a lot

[scenic elm]

You allways die if you front stab

[grave wedge]

if they bring back first person melee, which they should, they should expand on the animations and qte aspect

[scenic sentinel]

I kind of hope when people die they are on the ground screaming in pain rather then just laying there

[lyric birch]

BF1 is great but BF5 has the best feeling movement out of all the battlefields hands down

[grave wedge]

perhaps, animations for interrupting your teammate being knifed, like a tackle to the ground and subsequent stab

with a bonus to go with it

[tribal temple]

You're true

[fervent garden]

LFG!

[scenic elm]

So only if they Just Got the game for the first time

[graceful kiln]

Yes, that’s the intention. Only those who truly dedicate themselves would reach Tier 1

[lyric birch]

i really wish they bring it back for the next battlefield because MMM so good

[unique kettle]

a maybe on that i prefferd 1

[icy kayak]

The worst thing that EA must do is DLC with new map, it divides the community, preventing the server if you have not paid

[scenic sentinel]

500 hours for getting tier 1 is atrocious

[dapper dune]

How are we all

[wicked canyon]

Personally I feel EA / DICE should just steer away from live service rubbish and go for something that works. A solid, core Battlefield MP experience that encourages teamplay and has a good implementation of combined arms (infantry + vehicle) - introduce SL spawns and Commanders. Battlefield Portal was a great idea - maybe have a set of areas so BF Modern, BF 1941, BF Vietnam etc

[tropic folio]

my question is if that's a player tier or a weapon tier, because 500 hours for a single weapon is absolutely ridiculous, and that's assuming you're at peak performance constantly

[lyric birch]

lol sometimes if you close 2042 the wrong way it just refuses to start again needing you to redownload the game 80+ times

[unique kettle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uEc8_dcYUc

[scenic elm]

I think i've only won a front stab as an atacker 2 times

[lofty pollen]

I don't care if a game is supported for a shorter time, as long as the updates are big. BF4 got more content in a year than BF2042 did in its entire lifespan

[lyric birch]

i never understood the bf4 melee system other than get it at the side of the guy or back

[unique kettle]

i think 3 is better from theme

[scenic elm]

Its a terrible Janky mechanic that Should NOT Exist

As it is right now

[swift sigil]

For all I care. All content is dropped at launch and then nothing else. As long as that content is enough.

[lyric birch]

be cool if we had a tug of war style thing for when two people melee each other at the same time from the front

[grave wedge]

then again a guy shouldn't be able to spam F to instakill at close range without a way to stop it

[unique kettle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg0Tmydj29M

[lyric birch]

• frantically spams F

[grave wedge]

kinda defeats the purpose of cqb

[unique kettle]

best one

[grave wedge]

it's janky but it's a good edition

[lofty pollen]

BF1's melee just worked

[scenic elm]

In BF3 the knife does weak damage In close combat so you shoot the guy trying to shank you because no front stabs

[scenic sentinel]

I kind of hope the do a realistic ass campaign where it’s not 1 guy takes on Russia and wins

[graceful kiln]

Yes, for players, maybe for vehicles, since you would use the same one multiple times, those numbers would make sense. But for weapons, the numbers should be lower to reach Tier 1. I myself have over 100,000 kills just with a helicopter... but I reached Tier 1 with only 2,000 kills.

[lyric birch]

yeah i liked Bf1s

i mildly enjoyed Bf4s but Bf3s anims were cooool

[scenic sentinel]

I don’t only play campaign but those games annoy me when it’s 1 vs 590 and the 1 guy wins

[lofty pollen]

I really hope BF6 has more melee weapons

[tribal temple]

Bf1 has the brutal prone melees

[lofty pollen]

instead of just knives

[tribal temple]

I liked the club angle where you hit a dude in the face so hard he rolls away

I threw a dude off a bridge with it

Was funny

[lyric birch]

i killed like an entire team in hardline with a machete dudes called me jason

[lofty pollen]

Titanfall 1 had first person executions

[grave wedge]

takedowns in general are very personal

[tribal temple]

Also the knife stab where you just kick the dude in the face then stab out his throat

[grave wedge]

which is why a lot like it

[tribal temple]

Looked painful

[tribal temple]

I watched the 4 animations and they were quicker than I remembered

[tropic folio]

pretty insane to me. Maybe 50-100 hours per weapon max, nobody is going to play the same weapon for over 500 hours, that's less time than most players have on the entire game. It can be hard to reach without being exclusive to 0.1% of players

[tribal temple]

The wackiest melee they added to bfv was a gift wrapped baseball bat

they gave it out for Christmas

[lyric birch]

they should add a tire iron

[solid hinge]

Halo 1 had assassinations of sorts but Halo 2 had full animations for it

[tribal temple]

ZK medics on V would beg to disagree

[scenic sentinel]

I feel like we have a little more things to worry about knifing guys let’s get real

[swift sigil]

I think 1000 kills for T1 is more than enough.

[lyric birch]

you know what would be badass?

Nuke map.

[tribal temple]

sort of, the 2042 melees took forever and were kinda janky

[solid hinge]

I definatly want them to bring back solo/coop campains

[scenic sentinel]

Yeah but I’d take bad animations for that and better game overall

[tribal temple]

I think the design of the maps was pretty clear at first, big pois with lots of open space for vehicles

Except nobody used transports

[scenic sentinel]

Melees aren’t supposed to quick there both grown men fighting eachother

[scenic elm]

BF3 ones where ok and BFV where very Basic

[lyric birch]

like halfway through the game a nuke lands outside of the map killing all electronics and knocking everyone down

[tribal temple]

The bfv v1 rocket

[lyric birch]

YEAH

all the windows get shattered the edge of the map gets decimated

[tribal temple]

I mean I think if I had a hammer I could kill a guy lying on the floor pretty quick not gonna lie

[lyric birch]

gimme my nuke leveloution i neeeeed it

[scenic sentinel]

I said last night bring back squad points with cruise missiles and shit

[tropic folio]

for realism all players should be blinded for the rest of the match

[lyric birch]

tsunami

[solid hinge]

i sorta skipped BF1 and BFV was big into 3 and 4 then switched to HLL and DBD but now Im back

[tropic folio]

i do hope we get more small and large scale levolution again

[cold quartz]

Please.
Please.

Just make a good battlefield. Make the hardcore gamemodes similar to like squad/arma/ insurgency in terms of kill time and bullet damage.

Make the standard modes like the BFs prior to 4.

This is all we ask

[swift sigil]

Imo BF2042 maps were empty at launch cuz they expected people to fight like bots. Just look at reveal trailer. Bunch of people out in the open fighting like it's melee battlefield

[scenic elm]

I Just imagine billy herrington in the locker room fighting some random dude

Lol

[tropic folio]

ngl exposure would've been an amazing map for levolution if the landslide happened mid game

[tribal temple]

Pretty sure they did that just to say there's going to be a hundred people fighting

[lyric birch]

i loved the idea of natural disaters from 2042 but it was underwhelming i waaant like tsunamis, earthquakes, landslides etc etc

[tribal temple]

nobody wanted to use the transport vehicles so you'd see guys sprinting for 30 minutes while a tank with 4 empty spots fly by

[tropic folio]

tinfoil hat theory but it's probably because the game was intended to be a battle royale at first

[unique kettle]

I guess you are all in...just asking for a friend 🤣

[tropic folio]

big open maps with small POIs, 128 players, no scoreboard, no squad functionality, just saying

[tribal temple]

I know you guys probably hate on the battle royale concept a lot but I enjoyed firestorm

I think it was cool

[tropic folio]

firestorm could've been pretty good

[lyric birch]

i need like bf4 sized maps with the bf2042 lobby size

[unique kettle]

Loved Close Quarters

[sonic heath]

CQB, city maps are the bests ! With destruction OC

[tropic folio]

jungle maps are always fun, makes for some really good infantry gameplay with the low visibility. Though i always enjoy hunting vehicles as well, so more open maps have a special spot in my heart

[scenic elm]

Type does not matter, if its good pepole will play it

[lyric birch]

night ops was cool ngl

[swift sigil]

Part village/town, part nature

[tribal temple]

If I had to choose particular favorites it would be the first map from Kaiserschlact from Bf1 among some others

Arras was good but I was thinking twisted steel

[swift sigil]

Yea, BF1 and BFV did great with such maps

[tribal temple]

operation underground kinda gets grating

[sonic heath]

Metro on BF3 (excepted grenade launchers ^^)

[tribal temple]

I liked the grind mode they had

Where for the event they repaired the bridge in twisted steel

[lyric birch]

you know what woulda been badass on Passchendaele if the gas drifted into the map halfway through

forcing everyone to equip gasmasks

[chilly flax]

Arras was great yeah

[edgy mantle]

Aesthetically, the night city ones like dawnbreaker

[tribal temple]

Vehicle balance the airstrip map in bfv was hands down the most unfair

[edgy mantle]

And the background of manifest from bf2042

[lyric birch]

siege of shangai

[swift sigil]

Unpopular opinion, Shaghai was overrated for me lol

[sonic heath]

If the new BF is like 80% than BF3 was in 2013, it will be incredible !

[tribal temple]

In 2042 I think my favorite map was either flashpoint or the one in the arctic

[unique kettle]

to all the new BF players BF can do better

[edgy mantle]

It sucks

I genuinely don't get why 90% of all BF4 servers are running that map

[sonic heath]

Strike at karkand pon BF2, my best BF moments !

the Commander feature is needed since a long time !

[swift sigil]

I'm glad we'll see maps that have multiple floor buildings again. At least I assume we will from what we saw

[tribal temple]

Flashpoint was the one with the best music, but it was in Africa in the desert

[lyric birch]

shanghai has the big ass tower that falls and honestly, the buildings provide enough cover to prevent snipers just camping their asses off in the back of the map

[unique kettle]

destruction mate

[tribal temple]

https://youtu.be/gIqdpYMuiMg?si=fzg9m5IPOBEpUwp2

[sonic heath]

"Levolution" was pretty cool, why they have deleted this feature guys ?

[tribal temple]

my favorite bf2042 music other than between the bows

[lyric birch]

they can do sooooo much more with leveloution im telling you

[unique kettle]

defo

[tropic folio]

because frankly a lot of the time levolution made the maps worse, so they focused more on small scale destruction, except they then decided to remove most of the destruction altogether

[warped temple]

a snow map with an avalanche would be pretty baller

[lyric birch]

Idea Volcanic eruption?

[sonic heath]

yep, hope they gona put again a massiiiive destructibility

[warped temple]

i hated shanghai when the tower was destroyed. so much dust you couldnt see shit, and c sucked to play on

[swift sigil]

Because it was the same everytime and gets repetitive. That's why you have servers with rule that you can't destroy Shanghai tower

[unique kettle]

never got hooked mate

[swift sigil]

They should made few different versions of each levolution if they do

[lyric birch]

like if shanghai tower depending on the supports you blew up fell in different areas?

[tropic folio]

levolution is cool, but i don't think it should change the map in a major way. The maps are already good by default

[edgy mango]

So hope this game is back to battlefield as it was started good at badcompany 2 with few bad thing but was decent 👌 then 3+4 was the best 👌 🌎👌 so hope it goes back to these with destruction and proper sniping again 😀

[sonic heath]

ok, but, they deleted advenced destruction jsut after, the best feature on recents BF since Bad Compagny, whyyy ? xD

[swift sigil]

Yea

[brazen dragon]

Пошла пизда по кочкам

[tropic folio]

yeah i dunno we'd have to ask the developers

[unique kettle]

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

if

[lyric birch]

i really dont like the snipers in the back of the map so as long as they add enough cover it'll be great

[sonic heath]

the best feature is not the gameplay modification, but the massive destruction animation (in my opinion)

[chilly flax]

BF1942 Wake Island
Battlefield Vietnam i cant remember haha
Battlefield 2 Strike at Karkand and Gulf of Oman
Battlefield 2142 cant remember
Battlefield BC2 Panama Canal
Battlefield P4Y Dragon Valley
Battlefield 3 Damavand Peak (if not dlc included)
Battlefield 4 Zavod
Battlefield 1 Monte Grappa
Battlefield 5 Arras
Battlefield 2042 Flashpoint

[edgy mantle]

sometimes I'd get so frustrated with them I'd just spend the whole match ucaving their asses and going 20-0

[edgy mango]

The sniping is best part!! Just need to stay in the cover they give you hahaa

[pure tundra]

Yo how do I play Battlefield labs ?

[wicked canyon]

2142

[wicked canyon]

the best part is half those servers will ban you for destroying the tower

[lyric birch]

the maps that dont have cover is the issue

sniping can be good if they dont pander the map to the snipers

[chilly flax]

People just dont know how much good maps BF2 had

[elder shuttle]

karkand, gulf of oman, fushe pass

[swift sigil]

You gotta register and hopefully you'll get picked. Test itself hasn't started yet

[edgy mantle]

Barely works if they have frag shotguns and are sitting on the top of some random tower you didn't even know existed

[sonic heath]

for me, the most important thing is to retrieve the atmosphere of BF2, afghanistan feelings, music, weapons and vehicules of this era. THE MUSIC guys do you remember ? xD

[chilly flax]

yeaaah man and when you came to lobby ''Welcome to duty''

[urban canopy]

I hope they don't just take inspirstion from bf3 but bf4 too. I don't want to see just middle eastern maps. Maps with skyscrapers like siege of shanghai need to return.

[lyric birch]

yeah or like say snai desert where the sniper is LITERALLY across the bloody map and you have run across A DESERT with NO COVER just to get to him

[edgy mango]

Yeah I don't do nothing but snipe on the games I get trashed on smaller maps with a ar or smg but I still play them lol ,, takes alot of time to get good at it and when your hitting them dome shots on the move 👌😘♥️ hahaha

[wicked canyon]

2142 - Minsk was a fun map IMO

[pure tundra]

I get this error in the website saying that I'm in a queue cause of higher than normal traffic. But I left it for like 2 hours, came back and still the same page. I refreshed and still - the same page. I can't even register

[chilly flax]

yeah sounds familiar

[sonic heath]

BF2 and BF3 best era of Battlefield franchise, nothing to throw away^^

[tacit yoke]

BF4's environmental destruction was the best imo

[chilly flax]

and the og BF1942

[wicked canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_7tm--K3hc

[sonic heath]

Bad compagny 2 has a better destructibility in my opinion

[lyric birch]

genuinely the only thing that makes me more pissed is vehicle hogs

get out of the plane and play the game, this is why i stick to the AA guns usually because of these PLANES

[swift sigil]

There's bunch of people waiting. Multiple hours is expected. I'll probably wait few days till it cools down because order of sign up doesn't matter

[wicked canyon]

I'll be honest... Battlefield 4 after its full set of updates was a solid experience but it was broken at launch and felt more like "Battlefield 3 but with some extra flashy maps and next gen ports"

[chilly flax]

i think 2, but we can choose different countrys from NATO

[verbal bone]

Hopefully a good amount. There hasn’t really been a recent AAA modern FPS that has more than US and RU

[wicked canyon]

Battlefield 1 looks like it was good... BFV and 2042 I never play because some wnker in EA thought "lets break support for linux players by introducing EAC without linux support"

[verbal bone]

BF1 was really good

[sonic heath]

I hope they will hold their heads high and remind us that they know how to make good games when they come out!! #Fingercrossed

[edgy mango]

Yeah can't get enough time in them to get good!!! Haha someone either shoots you down or you crash before u get anywhere good enough hahaa

[lyric birch]

EAC broke a l o t of stuff honestly i still cant play BFV because they didnt fix the steam version

[wicked canyon]

Battlefield 2142 was good, you had a combination of UK / US vs PAC (asia / russia) but a newer BF title could make that more explicit

[tired osprey]

for the queue, if you keep clicking the "page back" button and clicking "sign up" youll eventually skip the queue. just keep spamming it. the q is only there to stop the site from crashing, you dont need to wait

[wicked canyon]

I was angry because they broke BF1 and BFV

[tropic folio]

sadly those people are all gone, these ones will have to show us they can replicate dice's best work

[sonic heath]

arff, bad news

[lyric birch]

yeah stuff like sitting on the back of the map or, spamming the plane button is just aggrivating like the and say it with me now

SKS target detector thermal sights

MMM yes i sure do love 2 shot insta death lazer with a THERMAL SIGHT

[chilly flax]

not all are gone, we need to give new people a chance, they do work hard no matter what

[wicked canyon]

Honestly at this point... I would happily buy for say £20 or £25 a "remaster" of Battlefield 2 and 2142 packaged together. Just rip out the dependency on Gamespy and perhaps make a few engine adjustments to support current gen hardware and OS (not too difficult) and you'd be fine.

Like what they did with the Battlefront OG remaster

[sonic heath]

We are here to give a new chance isn't it ? 😉

[chilly flax]

yes sir

[solemn epoch]

It was a lot better yea, levolution was a marketing stunt i prefer the natural destruction of bc2 rather than those scripted events

Some were good and changed Maps Gameplay but meh

[tropic folio]

most are, and dice isn't what it was back then. Of course i respect every developer's work, but we can't ignore the disaster that was 2042

[lyric birch]

im just glad they made a server so we can give direct feedback

[sonic heath]

because we all know Battlefield licence and Dice are not dead anymore ! ! 🙂

[wicked canyon]

If EA want to make easy money for little work... do the above. They won't because they don't to draw attention away from newer games, but it is a waste of the IP.

[chilly flax]

i know, but was that really dice fault or EA

[wicked canyon]

they made it clear years ago they wanted to chase the trend with COD which is why modern battlefield rewards personal glory bs and incentivises getting kills over objectives

[lyric birch]

yeah personally i feel like they should have leaned more twords the natural disaster stuff and just HUGE set pieces

Flood the map with a tsunami, avalanche in the middle of a snow map, A BLOODY NUCLEAR STRIKE mid match

[sonic heath]

I prefere natural destruction to , but Levolution was cool anyway

[wicked canyon]

the set pieces are overrated and a waste of resources

[tropic folio]

both

[chilly flax]

and there was also covid

[sonic heath]

Yep, don't forget, lot of time, developpers are not the culprits (Hello EA^^)

[lyric birch]

well the leveloution part of say (A NUKE) kills electronics blows up like half of the map and from the outside of the map there is now a mushroom cloud and a huge ass crater etc etc

they shouldnt do the hero shooter thing ever again period

[swift sigil]

Natural destruction is risky imo. Don't want another equivalent of 2042 tornado. It was fun 1st few times then it became annoying

[sonic heath]

tornado was a bad idea, not destruction

[lyric birch]

yeah, once more they should have mixed it up throw in earth quakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, avalanches somthing that makes you go "OH SHI-" and everyone drops what they are doing to up and R U N

[tender iris]

When it says "There are currently no other playtests available." Does that mean I'm good?

[tropic folio]

yep, you've signed up

[sonic heath]

everybody like to shot into a building and like to see it destroy itself as it goes along

[umbral owl]

5 classes with BF V as baseline for the interaction

[lyric birch]

like mid of the nuke map bunkers open for the players to go to, to fight in for like a good bit of time before they come back up top to see absolute destruction all the skyscrapers are now rubble, if you didnt make it in time you get either killed by the nuke or crushed by debris

OO and after the bunker opens all the playermodels are switched with like hazmats after you respawn

[stray violet]

Guys why am I not receiving email from EA? I signed up

[tropic folio]

you only get emailed if you're selected

[lyric birch]

sadly EA is probably never gonna make somthing as extravagant as we hope but we can dream damn it lmao

[glass nacelle]

Battlefield Lab aka "Do our job for us"

[lyric birch]

i mean all i want is a map that gets absolutely flooded and ill be hapy lmao

[tired osprey]

id rather give them feedback than make the game myself. as long as they actually listen to constructive criticism, this could be the thing the devs need to get their sh together

[swift sigil]

As long as it's still playable and not jsut water. If it's like Floodzone from BF4, I'm fine

[graceful vale]

I would love something more tactical from battlefield like for example:
the bridge was destroyed but you can take a special bridge-tank to get vehicles over it...

[swift sigil]

Such functions only work in games like Arma, Squad. In BF almost nobody's gonna bother to go get that truck imo

[warped temple]

or reintroduce the pre-set building templates from bfv, and be able to partially rebuild the bridge, such as a smaller wooden bridge to cross over

[lyric birch]

Yeah floodzone was badly done imo

it be cool if they utilized like say seige of shanghai's towers there is like connected rooftops and such there is signs of flooding earlier in the match but we dont know why till the tide leave and we see coming from the distance tsunami

[graceful vale]

good point

[chilly flax]

not even top 3 for me

[swift sigil]

Unless truck is part of the map (after ridge is destroyed, truck comes on it's own)

Otherwise yea BFs bit to fast paced for people to care about getting truck just for bridge

[junior torrent]

Get rid of sliding and tac sprint

Bring back prone diving

[lyric birch]

yeah bring back bf5s movement

at least for the prone anims because being able to go on your back was honestly cool as hell, being knocked down by big explosion also cool as hell lol

[junior torrent]

Don't forget a new animation for entering and exiting vehicle

[lyric birch]

oh yes i enjoyed that too, being able to stop a guy from stealing your tank is always fun

[fleet sentinel]

Does anyone know when the emails are sent out to say if you’re selected?

[swift sigil]

This survey is gonna last 7 or 14 days. Don't expect it before

[uncut crag]

Please remove air vehicles slowly gliding down when no pilot is present and the engines are out. It should just plummet to the ground instead of kind of hovering. I really hate being killed by a chopper with only a gunner on board.

[bitter garnet]

I know someone that already got his response

[swift sigil]

A legit one or fake one?

[fast magnet]

source: dude trust me bro

[swift sigil]

Afaik, you don't have any less chances if you sign up on last day. At least that's what they said. So wouldn't make sense they got it

[bitter garnet]

He told me that, I don't have the proof tbh

[tired osprey]

pretty sure hes lyin

[swift sigil]

I'd be more worried he got scam link

[bitter garnet]

Maybe 😅

[tired osprey]

if he did really get one tell him to check what the domain was that sent it to him

im guessing emails wont be sent out until the survey is over and they have all the sign ups they want

[swift sigil]

If order of sign up doesn't affect if you get picked or not. They can't pick participants until registration ends. Otherwise it does matter

[tribal temple]

So fortifications from V

[bitter garnet]

This seems to be more cool, everyone have the same amount of chance

[tribal temple]

You know another nice feature from V? Towables

tow an AA gun to the mill in Arras

[tribal temple]

The sign up said taking the survey may increase your chances of being picked, they also mentioned they wanted to pick a mix of new players as well

[wicked canyon]

The problem is the Battlefield Lab is meaningless if EA just keep throwing in rubbish executive decisions. I have no doubt DICE / their developers have wanted to do a lot of things but had the decision shitcanned by EA

[abstract kindle]

good idea will be acces to kick players when u been alpha/beta tester

[tribal temple]

what

[wicked canyon]

yeah because elitism is what we need in battlefield

[tribal temple]

I think he means pick

[tropic folio]

dice execs aren't blameless

people talk like dice is a slave and ea controls the direction of the game completely

[wicked canyon]

no but DICE developers are working under pressure... execs are usually in bed with EA execs

chasing profit and crap.. which is true they need to profit, but they dilute the game for no return

[abstract kindle]

not that kind of thing a think, we know what anti cheat system work in bf5 (or worked)

[wicked canyon]

like john riccitiello talking about making people pay a dollar to reload. I'm glad that prick got booted out of unity

[tired osprey]

for sure, i cant deny that. but i do think its a step in the right direction if EA approved Labs. obviously we'll see as development goes on and when the game releases, but im willing to play an early version of the game either way to see where its heading

[wicked canyon]

they invest too much into stupid set pieces

stick to core gameplay

invest in battlefield portal

[abstract kindle]

good idea, classic play not fashion play ;p

[sour pollen]

Just remake bf3or4 is done

[wind glacier]

can someone help me grind for the draugr in bf 2042?
i need someone to provide kill assist for me... this is such a pain to grind

[wicked canyon]

the idea behind the battlefield 2042 trailer was actually really good, leaning into the fun part of BF, they just wasted time with setpieces and the stupid operators / specialists

combined arms class infantry + vehicle multiplayer gameplay, that is battlefield at its core

and god dammit, just fix EAC so linux players can enjoy your damn games

[abstract kindle]

old classic bc2 or bf3/bf4?

[wicked canyon]

its not facking hard

[wary sigil]

andrew wilson isn’t opossed to moving BF6 to late 2026 instead of 2025

[wicked canyon]

somewhere between BF2, 2142 and Battlefield 4

[abstract kindle]

idk

[calm mortar]

bring back battlefield heroes and let me rest in peace

[royal oak]

I'm playing Legend of Zelda - Echoes of Wisdom 🙂

[sour pollen]

hero specialist ha

[abstract kindle]

f... shotgun and 2a xD

[royal oak]

can purple members post pics here?

[tropic folio]

yes

[royal oak]

how do I become purple

[tropic folio]

talk a lot for a long time

[abstract kindle]

u need donate?

aa

[tropic folio]

no

[swift sigil]

I'd rather see next BF be released in late 2026 instead of 2025 if it means better launch

[abstract kindle]

kk

[royal oak]

how long? days? weeks?

I feel purple, is that enough

[sour pollen]

dont make another rubbish is the point

[tropic folio]

took me over a year of talking here and there

[royal oak]

WHAAAAT

[abstract kindle]

u new like me, so long time to see purple ;p but i dont care about it

[sour pollen]

if it really is ,this ip fkd up

[tropic folio]

but i'm pretty sure you can't get regular since ea took over

[eager plume]

i bet the beta is gonna be later this year, early 2026 drop

they don’t wanna compete with GTA6

[royal oak]

by the time I turn purple, BF6 will be out

[abstract kindle]

team gta6 and bf6 - comin up xs

[swift sigil]

Probably like 2 delays. You know, usual AAA stuff lmao

[wary sigil]

No, they said before april 2026, as in fiscal year 2026, that usually means a october/november 2025 release

That said

GTA6 could just

Delay all other AAA games to 2026

[abstract kindle]

anyway, mail sending is announced or we dont know yet?

[sterile jolt]

GTA6 isn't competing with BF

[tropic folio]

it's not a beta, and late 2025 release is basically guaranteed

[wary sigil]

I don’t think GTA6 is coming this year either

But if BF6 is delayed

[eager plume]

They’d be foolish to just do a closed playtest then drop

[wary sigil]

We gon be stuck with.. CoD & Delta Force LMAOOOOOOOOOO

[tropic folio]

they've never revealed a game and not released it in the same year, it would be stupid to reveal the game, do a mass playtest, and then wait a whole year for the hype to die before releasing. It's definitely this year

[wary sigil]

Our? I aint playin that lol

[swift sigil]

Been here since 2018, still blue. Cuz I don't even have 1k messages lol

[wary sigil]

Not everyone will be playing gta6

[royal oak]

I won't, not interested

[wary sigil]

is it gonna be the best selling game of all time? Probably

is everyone gonna be playing it? No

[royal oak]

maybe if the characters from 5 were in it

[wary sigil]

Nvm it would have to beat minecraft

not happening

[eager plume]

Big publishers with big games = big audiences and some overlap between the two

[sterile jolt]

They wouldn't have cut the support of 2042 a whole year ago if it wasn't releasing this year

[fleet steppe]

[eager plume]

2

[wary sigil]

Tbf BFV support was cut in 2020

[sterile jolt]

And we got 2042 in 2021

[wary sigil]

wait i did the math wrong

[abstract kindle]

[eager plume]

V

[wary sigil]

yeah no we’re on track

[fleet steppe]

[wary sigil]

Could still be delayed

[sterile jolt]

2042 cut the support in 2024, we are most likely going to get BF6 in 2025

[royal oak]

I don't like that theres another campaign coming, it is a lot of money, it better be worth it

[wary sigil]

We are way overdue for a good fps game

[eager plume]

Battlefield 1 was genuinely the last banger and you can’t change my mind

[swift sigil]

Quote we might hear again after next BF

[tropic folio]

not to mention them targeting fy 2026 release, essentially guaranteed

[wary sigil]

the latest 2 big FPS releases were abysmal

treyarch is washed as fuck

[turbid swallow]

In the new battlefield labs we need rush mode 24/7 currently playing bad company 2 story and its what got me into the battlefield series

[wary sigil]

irredeemable studio i fear

[eager plume]

FY 2026 ends in April 2026, maybe that’s why people were saying it

[tropic folio]

yeah but they've never released a game that early in the year

[wary sigil]

look at the latest BFB tweet

[sterile jolt]

I think playtest will include mostly breakthrough and conquest

Rush and other smaller modes will be tested later on I assume

[royal oak]

things new Batttlefield needs to succeed:
-No Name Soliders
-Good Sounding Weapons
-Good Maps

that's it

the big 3

[sterile jolt]

It needs server browser

[royal oak]

it's a nice to have

[eager plume]

Good feeling weapons is huge too. Like the PP2000 from BF3 (i used it as a primary)

[swift sigil]

I have a feeling people think we'll get more in BF Labs than we'll actually get. Imo it's just 1 map and no more than 10 weapons

[wary sigil]

Im sorry but the guns having good sfx doesn’t make the game good wtf

[sterile jolt]

They ain't slowing it down lol

[wary sigil]

that’s a bad list

No

[royal oak]

it affects how they feel too

[wary sigil]

Campers should not be catered to

there are 24 milsim games out there rn, play those

bf isn’t a milsim

[royal oak]

a weapon can be the best animated in the world, if it sounds like shit it won't be fun to use

[junior torrent]

Style and atmosphere for me with BF

[tropic folio]

yeah battlefield isn't milsim, look at how badly cod was received when they slowed movement way down

[junior torrent]

That's what made 3, 4, 1 special

[royal oak]

the weapons in The Finals sound amazing

[chilly flax]

depends on what they will want to test. It could be one weapon and one vehicle and thats it

[royal oak]

wonder why 😛

[wary sigil]

I

[eager plume]

Battlefield should not be milsim, and shouldn’t be compared to milsim. The happy medium between that and arcade feel is what makes Battlefield great.

[swift sigil]

Yea. That's literary enough to test if gameplay is ok

[west mirage]

The most important thing an actual Server Browser and Persistent Servers

[junior torrent]

Just bring back prone diving

That's all you need

[chilly flax]

server browsers probably only in portal

[wary sigil]

MW2 wasn’t slow

It was slower

[west mirage]

It will be awful

[sterile jolt]

Nah, sweats will adapt

[chilly flax]

i know, but its coming back so

[sterile jolt]

I agree

[wary sigil]

Dolphin diving

[royal oak]

will AI have an implementation in BF

[swift sigil]

For some reason a lot of people think FPS is either arcade or milsim. Like nothing in between exists lol

[sterile jolt]

BF is that

[west mirage]

Disagree BFV movement is, just make it less floaty

[chilly flax]

we need a middle. If its too slow like old BF games people wont like it, now we are in different times and people want a bigger skill gap to enjoy games no matter what

[wary sigil]

BFV movement >

hell, MWII movement wouldn’t suck in a BF title

[west mirage]

What I enjoyed in BF1 and BFV is that had High Ledge Climb that allows me climb over walls

[urban canopy]

I want supine position but no other advance moevement beyond that.

[abstract kindle]

V have good movement, but we need better one in bfVI

[wary sigil]

Tbh agile movement is what i want

[sterile jolt]

BFV has the perfect middle ground

[wary sigil]

agile and responsive

[swift sigil]

Part of reason why I hated 2042 was faster movement speed than older titles. BF3, 4 1 and V were good on that front

[west mirage]

There are times I was stuck pushing objectives in BF4 due to some objects being 1-2 feet higher than me

[chilly flax]

yeah probably

[wary sigil]

If i click the key bound to prone, i prone quick, not take 9 seconds to prone

[potent plinth]

Am friggin ecstatic since I saw the updates

[tropic folio]

v honestly pretty much nailed gameplay

[sour pollen]

I think the problem should be the running animate,2042 running speed cant match its animate

[summer forge]

Nah skill gap ain’t the issue. There needs to be a literal casual mode in the next battlefield

[abstract kindle]

bro im stuck xD

[wary sigil]

delta force’s movement is extremely unresponsive and clunky

[west mirage]

Ehem Server Browser

[wary sigil]

The whole game is ass but yea

[sterile jolt]

It's called as hardcore

[potent plinth]

Why not ? More the merrier

[chilly flax]

players want to sweat even in casual, thats how gaming world is right now

[wary sigil]

Simply implement a good anticheat

[potent plinth]

I wouldn't want the fan base to be divided between console / PC players

[west mirage]

That’s literally the point of server browser hell if they’ll bring back Rental Server Program, I’m 100% sure that some people will be noob servers

[royal oak]

everyone has to be first, be the best

can't just have fun

[abstract kindle]

good anti-cheat is core in new bf...

[summer forge]

I mean yes but the core of Battlefield was always more serious/competitive

[urban canopy]

Same. Though I'm not dure yet if I wanna play this on console or pc. I'll decide after the beta.

[strange trout]

Good day all. I hope everyone is having fun

[summer forge]

Hardcore and competitive ain’t the same

[sterile jolt]

Nah, BF never had a competitive scene past 4

[wary sigil]

cod is experiencing a cheater epidemic because they don’t actually have an anticheat, ricochet is pretty much just a label cod puts in their games at this point but it’s not functional

[strange trout]

its not a beta it is a prealp[ha

[west mirage]

Always has been especially in BF3 and BF4

[summer forge]

Where tf are these sweats??? All I ever land on are casual teams 😅🤣

[swift sigil]

You don't have to sweat to be on top. At least in previous titles, running around throwing ammo boxed pushed you to the top of leaderboard

[junior torrent]

Just give me a BF game with good solo mode

[chilly flax]

on other games

[boreal bronze]

Just a good anticheat and there is no problem with PC. I play on console always have and most PC players don’t cheat but the ones who do ruin it for everyone. Lets just hope on a great anticheat

[junior torrent]

Instant action style from stat wars BF

[abstract kindle]

this what we maybe testing, its alpha or beta?

[west mirage]

I even mange to learn how to do ZouZou in BF4

[summer forge]

Except there’s hardly any competitive spirit in 2042 lol

[urban canopy]

I was talking about the beta they'll have before launch

[wary sigil]

Server browsers/persistent servers but also give me the option to report shitty admins

[west mirage]

Cuz 2042 is awful

[strange trout]

What we need is dedicated servers that caln can have

[abstract kindle]

autobalance need to be fix ;p

[summer forge]

Trash game don’t mean the players gotta be trash. My boys and I would still bring our A game every time

[wary sigil]

this is mostly a statement to how ass the fps space is rn, but out of the recent multiplayer fps it’s the best

[west mirage]

Gives us a Clan War while at it

[summer forge]

Players think trash game means they shouldn’t care

[summer forge]

THIS. Loved clan wars in V

[junior torrent]

Just give me a damn instant action mode in BF

That's my request

[abstract kindle]

if we have that players - we can yeet it out of window

[tall blade]

Wait until we all see this is a 2042 reskin

[solid hinge]

this sounds like a horrible idea from a Dev pov lol

[wary sigil]

Bring back frontlines ngl

[royal oak]

Road to Jalalalalallabad

[summer forge]

Why?

[west mirage]

Clans duking it out who’s the top clan will always be a good addition to the game

[solid hinge]

most clans are like 5 players big lol

[west mirage]

Like GunZ

[strange trout]

actually no. It helps cut down on hackers and asshat players. Ever since they took the support away hacking has gotten worse. And when you have a community anticheat list that everyone can run will help

I have 25 years of testing

[summer forge]

WHAR, TAG, NSOM, SoL, all them old boys

[strange trout]

part of pbbans and punksbusted

[solid hinge]

so like the equivalent of having a groupchat of people agreeing on not cheaitng

[strange trout]

not to mention BF2RS admins

[summer forge]

Because 2042 was the first game to not supports clans

[bronze portal]

make a mode that encourages clan scrims. not a clan server

[summer forge]

In V my clan easily pulled in 3-4 squads with of players on a given night

[strange trout]

actually no. Go read it up. It is ran on evenbalances punkbuster

[bronze portal]

don't want a repeat of dogshit admins kicking banning anyone they don't like

[solid hinge]

yeah that sucked

[strange trout]

well if you got kicked for a reason then try not to be a butt

[west mirage]

Or banning certain stuffs like lock-ons

[solid hinge]

I get kicked for just playing good heli 🗣️ 🔥 💯

[junior torrent]

Or you stole admin kills

[strange trout]

dedicated servers went away so they can support consoles

[junior torrent]

Anything that bothers them by. Miniscule problem

[bronze portal]

kicked for top fragging yup

valid reason

[strange trout]

wrong

[steep flint]

In my opinion, Battlefield has something that no other game has, since my first interaction with Battlefield 1942 in mid-2008 (I was only 4 years old), I was amazed by the large scale battle and they managed to bring that feeling to BF2, BF3 and improved in BF4, however which gives the interpretation that the BF saga tries to be something it is not (Call Of Duty), if they focused on what they have and not what others do, BF would be the 1st in the world in FPS games... Call Of Duty may have striking, engaging and wonderful stories, but it doesn't have what BF achieved, which is the immersion and the feeling of being in a large-scale war (even though it's fictional), the essence of the world falling around you with planes flying overhead that no other game has... And the campaign, what can we say about the wonderful campaign of BF3 and 4, the essence in the characters (of course not everything is wonderful), but they stopped doing that in 2042 and what did it do? (disaster) Because they tried to be what COD is

[strange trout]

you are to young to remember

[bronze portal]

?

who tf are you lmaooo

[royal oak]

that feeling that you were part of a big team, working to win the game

[west mirage]

Can anyone remind me why 128 tickrate isn’t viable for Battlefield?

[abstract kindle]

what and who? sorry i afk ;p

[strange trout]

Well I was one of the senior testers for Combat testing and combat studios who tested most of all BF till bf4 came along

[west mirage]

I swear someone tried 128 tick and it caused alot of problem during BF4

[summer forge]

And now no one cares about teamwork or winning

[kindred sail]

well for that to work they reduced the tickrate to 45HZ and it's hard to balance

plus you need beefy systems

[tall blade]

And ppl want movement in it

[junior torrent]

You tested 3?

[strange trout]

DO you know the ROules of engagement for ranked servers

yes

[royal oak]

nah everyone's running around being a silent andies, talking to their nerd friends in discord group voice

[solid hinge]

if game isn't built around it a lot of shit would break :v also server costs would increase dramatically
games like fortnite run on a tick rate of 30 just fine

[west mirage]

45Hz isn’t enough honestly

[solid hinge]

fortnite is 30hz

[west mirage]

60Hz for me

[solid hinge]

fortnite is a lot more intense than Cod/bf

[strange trout]

fortnite isnt bf

and never will be

[kindred sail]

bf 1 and 5 were 60

[royal oak]

LOL I used to yell at the server owner for months to get a higher tickrate, and he finally did

[solid hinge]

yes but its 100 players and a lot of stuff going on at once

[kindred sail]

heck venice unleashed has 120HZ

[summer forge]

The mere fact that you tried to put Fortnite and Battlefield in the same sentence…

[west mirage]

That’s fortnite plus coming from CS, 60 still isn’t enough for us

[junior torrent]

I now only play 3 with VU ai bot mod

[tall blade]

Bf4 120+

[solid hinge]

its a bigger map with a lot more stuff going on at once?

[strange trout]

Just remember everyone the games are evolving and with ai comes more details and power consumption

[west mirage]

I hope the servers function this time and are really good in the upcoming Battlefield

[summer forge]

Remember when MW2 and BO1 are still GOAT even with the game play

😂

[strange trout]

COD is just a reskin that people waste money on

[summer forge]

Far simpler graphics rendering and mechanics

[solid hinge]

val is the only actual comp game I know that runs 128ticks

[west mirage]

Waiter more fake frames pls

[strange trout]

World at war for cod was the last best game there was for the series

[west mirage]

CS2 FaceIt too

[lucid osprey]

cs2 doesn't

[summer forge]

Big Red 1

[west mirage]

But it’s a 3rd party matchmaking

[solid hinge]

I meant like Officially

[west mirage]

I said Face It

[abstract kindle]

yea its true, fps system is changed, and its natural, more powerfull tools to create - more realistic in fps ( look at fps from 2000 and now)

[strange trout]

CS is the most hacked game in the owrld

[lucid osprey]

ahh. thought u meant separate, np 😛

[junior torrent]

Good thing I only play solo haha

[solid hinge]

yeah cause of their refusal for Kernal AC

[west mirage]

Yeah which is why I play CS through Face It

[strange trout]

Heck people running mda hacks and ta is crazy now

[abstract kindle]

cs is most hacked and cracked game ;p (non steam ver 1.5 or 1.6) ;p

[strange trout]

I been playing delta force and they are banning weekly 25k or more for hacking

[worn bluff]

Hey guys, D.I.C.E please

[strange trout]

Who here knows what pod surfing is?

[west mirage]

It was worse from the start honestly especially vehicle balance and class structure, like combining medic and support to 1 class???

Hello

[bronze portal]

and its still not enough lmao DF is just so...

[abstract kindle]

u mean noclip or what?

[west mirage]

Also the Railgun Tank

[bronze portal]

worst part about DF is that there's so much garbage like wallhacks built into characters

[rose venture]

DF is literally 2042 but with worse mobility. People shat all over 2042 because of the specialists and classes and skins. Then praise DF for the specialists and classes and skins. I don't fn get it.

[bronze portal]

still waiting for the killcam update to see if the few players i felt fishy about are legit or not. game has dogshit server desync issues so sometimes you die instantly

[dusty shoal]

corporate brain is a switch is only on and off

[west mirage]

And Wingsuits and grappling hooks, making pushing with a tank a death sentence

[strange trout]

one thing that really needs to be addressed is teh foot steps. I should hear someone walking as loud as i do in all the games. From my experience in real life. you woulnt hear it as loud as they do or through a whole level or floor

[solid hinge]

this arguement is asinine, Building, editing, shooting and movement happen rapidly. battlefield needs Stability not Higher tick rate

[strange trout]

seagull you to funny

jaguar 1950 hey ehat up

another tester

[solid hinge]

also graphics is not even server load @summer forge

[strange trout]

lmao

[abstract kindle]

just we need good anti cheat or admins to check reports about cheating

[west mirage]

My guess cuz DF has been recently revived and there was no clear foundations on what makes it a Delta Force game while Battlefield has a long establish core foundation

[wind minnow]

@strange trout Long time no see Combat Testing Staff Member here:

[solar nexus]

DF is a copy of battlefield in every way

[strange trout]

how you doing bud

[summer forge]

And yet youd NEVER find the gameplay of Narvik, Arras, or Devastation on Fortnite

[rose venture]

yeah but people were like, "thank god, a bf2042 solution, praise the Maker!"

[summer forge]

Let alone Rogue, Golmud, or Shanghai

[west mirage]

People wanted a decent fps ig

[wind minnow]

@strange trout Not bad I'm still Testing when i can.

[strange trout]

cool same here

trying to preach

[rose venture]

I enjoy it. I also enjoy 2042. I just don't understand the hatetrain.

[wind minnow]

Lol

[west mirage]

2042 launch horribly with constant crashes meanwhile DF launch decently afaik

[abstract kindle]

so he is really legend of fps beta tests? ;p good to hear we havin that guy in test team ;p

[strange trout]

well i am off for a bit going to frag some noobs

[summer forge]

Players hate on games when they also refuse to play better

[west mirage]

Cuz 2042 is a awful Battlefield

[sterile jolt]

It's a good decision imo

[summer forge]

Part of the casual mentality

[barren glade]

Mario Kart is everything COD wishes it could be

[strange trout]

ty for the pimp\

[abstract kindle]

no problem 😉

[frank olive]

Day 2 of asking for a Battlefield: Tiberium

[solid hinge]

Map size and complexity don't justify 128hz, Largescale battles, vehicles and long range combat don't need high tick rates like CS2. fortnite runs fine at 30/60hz with way more frequent player actions, Battlefield needs better netcode, Not higher tick rate.

[west mirage]

Not really though it would make the Assault class to only have gadget that are selfish unlike in every Battlefield game, every class has a team utility gadget. In BF1 and V the Assault’s role were primarily anti-tank

[wind minnow]

@abstract kindle Yes he is I worked alongside Simblade and the rest of the Combat Testing team with Charles Green we were sub contracted to E.A. / Dice

[junior torrent]

I keep asking for solo mode

Yet that effort proves no avail

[rose venture]

Ever stumble on any of Rob's easter eggs while testing?

[strange trout]

a few times

[rose venture]

He's still going ham with EEs over at Embark/Finals

[abstract kindle]

good to hear about it, thx for your service in fps testing 😄

[strange trout]

actually most were found during testing as you have to look at every nook and cranny of the map

[abstract kindle]

so now its time to bf6? but when ;p

[dusty shoal]

I think "Operation Metro" kind of chokepoints needs higher tick rate

[summer forge]

Fair enough

[west mirage]

In BF3 and 4, Assaults can equip both a med pouch and a Grenade Launcher

[strange trout]

streaming now delta force

[sterile jolt]

Assault has the best 1v1 potential in 2042 unlike any other BF though. In BFV medic was a better assault than assault for example. Armor packs + med pen makes assault survivable in 1v1.

[strange trout]

look me up

[sonic gate]

Delta force is ass

[west mirage]

Not really though since you can 1v1 as a Assault Class in most Battlefield games especially BF3 and BF4

[abstract kindle]

i just want medkit in medic ;p (im support gamer ;p)

[west mirage]

Also armor pack and med pens are awful addition in the game especially the armor pack

[sonic gate]

I don't think so. I think they're sticking with bfv weapon class systems

But I could be wrong

[west mirage]

The best weapon Class System is in BF4 honestly

[sonic gate]

Yeah I'd prefer it that way

[abstract kindle]

nobody likes play support, but everybody likes to win

[west mirage]

That’s why make the Support weapons good like in BFV, the BAR is great

[dusty shoal]

BF3 allowed some special attachment combos although I think they nerfed it

[sonic gate]

Ehh I didn't like the fact that you couldn't run a smg with assault so you had no way of having a med pack

[sterile jolt]

If you remove them then medic will be the best class just like V

[sonic gate]

I don't like engineer having smgs doesn't make sense

[sterile jolt]

Engineers should have SMGs imo

[swift sigil]

There are people who prefer support, including me. Not as many as assault but it's not 0

[sterile jolt]

Support should have LMGs

[sonic gate]

Lmgs and hmgs

[dusty shoal]

using the mortar with support was amazing

[sonic gate]

Support should have smgs and pdws

[solid hinge]

thigns like that can be fixed by a little change in map design but I'd imagine most people just like the cluster fuck gameplay of operation metro

[abstract kindle]

support i mean (in all games i play/played) - medic and running with medkit and revive everybody ;p

[swift sigil]

LMG is the most support weapon in BF tho

[storm badge]

They should call this battlefield, Battlefield 3.4

[abstract kindle]

just do my job in game ;p

[west mirage]

That’s always has been since BF3, medics are the best class but not because of the gadgets but the weapons itself, just make every weapon good in every class just like in BFV and it will be balance, I can 1v1 any Assault Class as a Support in BFV aggressively

Using the BAR

[sterile jolt]

It is, he just wants to play with an SMG and revive himself

[lament wyvern]

any one still playing hotline ?

[west mirage]

Or the Recon with the PO8 Carbine

[abstract kindle]

remove 2a xD

[sterile jolt]

No, BFV medic was OP because they were the only class with infinite healing

[dusty shoal]

I think it was made by design but yeah as I said before is good only if drunk

[sonic gate]

Yeah I get that. I just know that medics for a majority of history used smgs which makes sense. You're not sitting in a spot tending to people's wounds with a lmg

[storm badge]

Is there going to be an announcement today or something?

[west mirage]

That’s the Attrition not the Class’s problem

Attrition was a awful mechanic

[sonic gate]

I mean. It doesn't make sense on bf half ass realism part

[lament wyvern]

any one still play bf hotline ?

[sterile jolt]

Medics still had infinite health packs

[abstract kindle]

Medic is OP its true, and i think most players dont play role med in battle ;/

[lament wyvern]

or bf 1

[sterile jolt]

If you take away assault's survivability in 1v1 then medic will be the most OP class, just remove assault at that point

[halcyon trout]

Hotline was so slept on man

[opaque ridge]

my face when m16a3

[lament wyvern]

m16a3 is nice to use 😄

[solid hinge]

yup I like it too :]

[storm badge]

Love the as-val

[swift sigil]

Unless you separate medic from ammo/suppression support then yea smg makes sense

[lament wyvern]

i need ammo!

[west mirage]

Yeah and it didn’t stop players to be topped in the scoreboard while having lots of kill while playing different a class

[lament wyvern]

ammo i need ammo XD

[abstract kindle]

ammo give me some ammooo

[umbral owl]

BF V medic was peak

[lament wyvern]

ammo !!

[umbral owl]

balance wise

[lament wyvern]

i miss bf 4

[storm badge]

! Spaghetti

[west mirage]

Laughs in BFV and Hardline ability to grab ammo and health kits from teammates xD but I get the reference

[halcyon trout]

Absolutely

[storm badge]

Hard-line had good maps

[abstract kindle]

fuc... meds with 2a and dont revive (totally useless in team game)

[sterile jolt]

I felt disadvantaged while playing with any other class besides medic 🤷 Even without infinite healing they had 5 smokes, no other class had that

[abstract kindle]

ahahha 😄
