[shy yacht]

1942 as well

bless those games for having bots too

[narrow lance]

I totally agree with you MMD - it's still here, won't ever really die, but I mean it's hanging on with life support, Punkbuster stopped packaging all the components you need together.

[shy yacht]

can you play vs bots in 2042 with no internet?

[narrow lance]

So new players struggle to get into games to begin with, imagine, a new BF4 player, rare, but we get em in bZ servers all the time

[solar quarry]

I played it on PC a few years ago. As soon as I spawned in I got shelled by a tank from across the map, through walls, every time, no matter where I spawned. May have been some cheating involved.

[solar nexus]

Battlefield 2 used gamespy for the multiplayer and gamespy got shutdown more than a decade ago. So no more official servers. But there are mods to make the multiplayer work

[shy yacht]

yeah relive or something

i played bf2 a few years ago

[solar nexus]

Nope. It's online only

[shy yacht]

thats so dumb

it has bots

[solar nexus]

That's why games with single player campaign is important

[shy yacht]

2042 has more value than 3 and 4 bc it has bots, but it needs to be online???

id rather have bots than a campaign

[narrow lance]

yes, it's a live service game MMD

[shy yacht]

bc the campaign will probably suck

[solar nexus]

Bad company 2 multiplayer still can be played even though ea servers for it got shutdown long ago even without any mods. It has local multiplayer

[shy yacht]

no reason for it to be

there is no reason for any game to die

[solar nexus]

Ea said. Players don't like single player games

[narrow lance]

Ah, but if they control the hosting, then you don't need to worry about it buddy /s

[shy yacht]

100% publisher choice

every time

[solar nexus]

When their live services perform worse than top single player titles

[narrow lance]

EA also said that Battlefront 1 was a commerical success, so who are we believing here

[solar nexus]

Battlefield Hardline shouldn't have been called battlefield. It got hated

Battlefield Hardline could've been a dlc of bf4

[shy yacht]

hardline should have been dlc for 4

it was so cool

[narrow lance]

Eh, still a battlefield entry, but could have been an add on? Maybe a standalone title would have been better in the long run

[solar nexus]

Battlefield 1 single player stories were amazing. Most of the reviews of that game focused on the campaign

[narrow lance]

seperate from the BF franchise

[shy yacht]

maybe not dlc, but not a full price game

€30-40

[solar nexus]

It wasn't a military shooter. That's where the most dislikes came from. It was $60 and released close to bf4 release

[shy yacht]

should have been €40 and free for BF4 premium memebers

[narrow lance]

IMO, 2042 even on sale at $11 USD was still a tough buy for me lol

That's a game that could have been FTP and monetized out the wazoo if they played that card right

[solar nexus]

Should've been a dlc of bf4

[balmy orchid]

which battlefield had the vietnam dlc?

[shy yacht]

how would it work as dlc for 4, would it be in server rotations

[solar nexus]

Ea planned to make bf2042 free to play

[shy yacht]

1942

[solar nexus]

Bc2

[shy yacht]

or was it a stand alone game?

[solar nexus]

Battlefield Vietnam was a separate game

[balmy orchid]

that's what I thought. I miss large dlc drops like that in games nowadays

[shy yacht]

yeah

stand alone

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_Vietnam

not dlc

[solar nexus]

Battlefield 1 was a risky project after battlefield Hardline flopped but it paid off. Battlefield 1 was well liked and it was a unique FPS take

[balmy orchid]

no, i'm talking about the bad company 2 dlc

[shy yacht]

bf1 is the top selling bf game

i think

[narrow lance]

In the words of Louis Rossman, if you're going to be a bch, be the full bch and don't be a half bch.

If you're gonna Monetize the game after you already sold it to me, you may as well sell me $12.99 digital shoelaces while you're at it lmaooo

[solar nexus]

Battlefield 1 sold very decent

Battlefield 5 had trouble at launch and the game was killed before it could take off

[solar quarry]

I've been thinking about BF6 easter eggs / hard to find pickups or unlockables.

What if we got one of these weapons? Which one would you choose?

https://youtu.be/UHi-xECyGTU?si=w2iqmcIy1VcJsR-A

[solar nexus]

Battlefield 5 reveal and launch had a lot of controveries

[solar quarry]

10/10 with the Rossman quote. 😂😂🤣

[shy yacht]

did they say anything about payed dlc for 6

i hope they ditch the payed maps

just sell skins

[narrow lance]

I'd rather pay for the DLCs if you want my honesty, at least the older DLC drops made you enjoy the game for a longer period

[solar nexus]

Battlefield 5 focused on the lesser known battles. Players wanted german and Soviet maps and factions but those never came to the game

Battlefield 5 was killed in favor of bf2042

[shy yacht]

payed maps splits the player base

its not good in the long term

[solar nexus]

Battlefield portal is returning in the next battlefield

[narrow lance]

I still have stuff I could do within BF4 as far as challenges go, but 2042, I can't find a single one that makes me excited to grind it

[alpine badge]

BFV is a wasted potential

[solar nexus]

They should add battlefield vietnam and 2142 in the next battlefield portal

[solar nexus]

It had a lot of contents in development that never came to the game

[narrow lance]

Yeah, I can understand that, it does split the playerbase, but admit it, the DLC you've gotten vs the DLC you paid for, which one was of higher quality?

[balmy orchid]

Is there a chat channel in here discussing the Battlefield Labs information? I filled out the survey and whatnot online but wanted to see if there was more information somewhere.

[narrow lance]

That's why I'm here, but I turned this chat into a BF4 memorial thread for a while lol

[balmy orchid]

I so miss BF4. I put thousands of hours into that game.

[solar nexus]

Battlefield 3 was very good

[rugged barn]

2 years after BF4...BF4 was 2013, BFH was 2015

[rugged barn]

normally? Payed DLC

[solar nexus]

Battlefield games generally took 3 years in between

The next battlefield is taking more than 4 years

[jaunty sand]

the halo games also used to take 3 years in between

[solar quarry]

I don't know I think you should add the years after release too. Seeems like BF2042 finally got out of beta in 2024. 😂

[narrow lance]

Right, it also kinda incentizes the Devs and the QA teams to make sure the DLCs are of high enough quality to ensure value is given to the players and to the shareholders. If it's a free DLC you could put a spray paint in there, a "remastered" asset flip and boom, that's the freeLC nowadays

[solar quarry]

yeah that's a good point.

[narrow lance]

I'd be cool with BF6 taking it's time and extending deadlines as long as they really put their hearts into it

[rugged barn]

"This DLC/Game is awesome! I will buy the next one!"
VS
"This DLC/Game is terrible, i wont buy the next one"

[jaunty sand]

i js want the game to be good man they already have the winning formulas to take insparation from

[rugged barn]

its what is happening right now, many wont preorder because bf2042 is so bad

[solar quarry]

Yuss

[solar nexus]

But it is still missing tons of features and needs gameplay changes to be like the past Battlefield games

[narrow lance]

Exactly, I won't pre-order unless I know my voice is heard in the Labs program

[solar nexus]

Players were asking for a server browser since day one of bf2042 but we didn't get it still to this day

[jaunty sand]

do yall want the crysis style attachment swapping to return

[halcyon sundial]

BFV got very good when Pacific dropped and then they dropped a death patch, an idiotic gun "balancing" patch that literally turned most weapons into water pistols.

[solar quarry]

Even if they do one of those "free expansion packs later on if you preorder" I'm still not gonna dewitt. Gonna wait until I see an angry youtuber like Enders playing it and not raging. Then buy.

[narrow lance]

I preferred the "set it and go" method. the Swap on the go stuff is kinda gimmicky imo

[jaunty sand]

ye

[solar nexus]

I hope they don't bring the vehicle call ins back

[narrow lance]

if THERUSSIANBADGER gets on BF6 and cheeses folks, I'm in dawg, that simple

[rugged barn]

NO SCOREBOARD ON RELEASE

[solar quarry]

I heard 2042 players had to beg for a scoreboard. In a battlefield game. WTFFF

[jaunty sand]

ye vehicle call ins were bound to be stupid

[solar nexus]

It didn't have all chat for several years

[jaunty sand]

special vehicles with squad points like bf5 is cool

[narrow lance]

Still no Global Chat

so I can't call Reds a bunch of LOSERS FOR FUMBLING THEIR MCOM!

[orchid monolith]

Battlefield 2 was the best in the franchise.

[solar nexus]

In bf 2042's concept arts and a leaked trailer, it had the class based solders which never came to the final game

[halcyon sundial]

nah bf1, bf3 and bf4 peak bf2

[narrow lance]

All they gotta do IMO is BF4 but with the same graphics package, leave the mechanics alone, update the gun rosters with more modernized kits, maybe the 2011 platform, couple more glock options, maybe even add in a chambering system where you can pick what round you want the rifle to fire?

[solar nexus]

In the concept arts, it had water too

[solar nexus]

No naval combat in bf2042

[rugged barn]

BF1 graphics, realism and war feel. Mechanics can be tweaked and improved,

[solar nexus]

Bfbc2

[jaunty sand]

i feel like the "chamber system" leads to weapon imballance

[solar quarry]

WTF. So what makes a game triple-A now? Just the size of the studio?

Definitely can't be the quality of product. Seems like all the big studios suck massive balls over the past 10-15 years.

Just ship an abortion and tell people if they don't like it then don't play it?

[halcyon sundial]

bfbc2 is good but not in bf1, bf3 and bf4 tier

[narrow lance]

I can see the chambering going poorly

[solid hinge]

bigger budgets, lower skillz

[solar nexus]

Ubisoft made a quadruple A game and it did terribly

[jaunty sand]

but rly just make bf5 with bf1 immersion in a modern setting instant best bf game if made correctly

[hollow wolf]

bf1942 such a good time

[narrow lance]

but keep the weapons in the same class? Like there are plenty of AKs that fire NATO cartridges

[rugged barn]

The chamber system can also lead to some fun stuff, they can make weapons like M4 have different variations with 9MM for example, and be tweakede for it and even being a different weapon in the battlelog for example

[rugged barn]

budget for it

[solar quarry]

how they be countin these's A's? Michelin ratings for their cafeteria?

ohh I see. cash.

[solar nexus]

Ea should revive medal of honor to compete against COD instead of using battlefield to compete against COD

[narrow lance]

I could see that working

[sacred eagle]

I don't know how I feel about gunsmith in games, yeah it's cool but I HATE meta gun builds and stuff like that

[rugged barn]

I mean, those can be different named weapons (which they are irl) and being completely different balance wise

[narrow lance]

Yeah I see the point there too

[jaunty sand]

i liked bf4s system where everything was relitively viable and u could build it to perform better in certian areas

[rugged barn]

Meta will always exist, they need to add more customization to guns, but maintaining the same amount of modifications that interfere in the stats of the gun

[narrow lance]

BF4 did very well with the balancing

[solar quarry]

yeah that was good but also like class locked weapons - at least a percentage should be

[rugged barn]

Barrel, grip, aim, and side stuff, that's it

[solar nexus]

Battlefield and COD used to go hand to hand. But those days won't come back. People used to compare battlefield and COD back in the days with the similar releases

[sacred eagle]

Yeah, and the "gunsmith" is simplistic

[jaunty sand]

yes class locked weapons should always exist imo

[narrow lance]

only a few of the guns were "OP" but even then, you could still slam those meta builds with a PP2K

[sacred eagle]

I guess I mean more of the 10 attachments per gun like call of duty, that shit is wack and so annoying at times

[narrow lance]

I think they have something going with the variety of optics, I do like that, I like me some opticions

[solar quarry]

I just wish we could attach slams to teammates.

[rugged barn]

in some cases, yes. Like for example SAR could dominate an AEK 971 user in bigger maps due to distance and cadence

[sacred eagle]

Facts

[rugged barn]

That can exist, but only 4 interfering in stats at any given time

[solar nexus]

EA should lock in with the next battlefield because there is a direct alternative called delta force if the next battlefield doesn't do well

[jaunty sand]

hope bf6 has more than 5 guns at launch instead just adding them via live service

[rugged barn]

As i said before, only 4 interfering like BF4, but allowing us to customize the entire rest of the gun the way we want, COSMETICALLY

[solar nexus]

You will get to see that in battlefield labs if you get in

[sacred eagle]

Not trying to put words in your mouth, are you saying only 4 effect it and the rest cosmetic

[narrow lance]

Honestly, I could see BF becoming removed from EA's sheets and being thrown to the market if it can't become profitable, I'd like to see BF4 get turned over to the community after parading a dead man's corpse around so many years after he "died"

[sacred eagle]

Oh yeah, that'd be dope, I'd love that

[jaunty sand]

i signed up pretty much as soon as the site was up so i hope

[rugged barn]

Give me a base AKS74U that i can modify it to be filled with Zenith/modern stuff

[marsh dragon]

remember that BF4 has lots of guns that all completly same

[solar nexus]

I heard that the next battlefield is already going through playtesting. Maybe some YouTubers took part in it

[sacred eagle]

That sounds fire, I'd love a system similar to that

[rugged barn]

yet they were all viable in their respective areas

[marsh dragon]

god please Gunsmith mechanic in BF6

[jaunty sand]

yea but its nice to have the illusion of choice at least yk

[narrow lance]

IF the community got their hands on BF4 that had full control over assets and such, I could see BF4 being the new jump off point

[solar quarry]

Delta Force is already failing. It's COD with 2042 graphics.

If Battlefield fails, our only hope is TTK games. Nobody knows what they are working on, but I think it's gotta have some Battlefield DNA.

[sacred eagle]

Yeah, IRL testing has definitely already happened

[narrow lance]

I'd love a Tarkov style Gunsmith

I know that's so cliche, but what's so bad about it

[marsh dragon]

nah, i prefer what they did in Delta Force

[rugged barn]

Im all in for Tarkov or Delta Force weapon customization, but maintain 4 slots for weapons that change it stat wise

[sacred eagle]

I agree with this

[narrow lance]

don't give it "super hard" numbers like they do in Tarkov, but obv a foregrip should reduce Recoil, etc

[solar nexus]

Cod gunsmith?

[marsh dragon]

okay it makes sense

[narrow lance]

I like what Lunber is sayin

[marsh dragon]

but with 8 modules not 5 maybe

[jaunty sand]

i dont rly think bf NEEDS a cod style "gunsmith" cos afaik no bf game did anything super crazy with weapon attachments

[sacred eagle]

And also UI should make it known that those attachments are what change things, that way casual players don't get overwhelmed

[rugged barn]

BF4 made it entirely simple, red for reduce, green for boon

[narrow lance]

Several people are typing, all because I said "DID SOMEONE SAY BF4???"

[solar quarry]

I only play BF games, so can you fools share a video that shows this gunsmith sorcery? Sounds interesting.

[narrow lance]

love this community

[marsh dragon]

guys remember when 30 round in 1 mag was enough?

[narrow lance]

got you Butt

[jaunty sand]

im not a fan of le extended mag attachment in battlefield

[narrow lance]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1318744053298237511/1337516459877732482/image.png?ex=67b246c5&is=67b0f545&hm=2c253861e5e53b107dfee5cf28b35876dcbe998882ed1aeb34536371034507fe&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1193&height=671

[rugged barn]

It could, because it would add more "Personal" style to the guns, adding new rewards for it, and also improving on something that already existed, woth current tech that they lagged bgehind

[sacred eagle]

Need a g18 drum mag pls

[narrow lance]

horrible copy of the image, but this breaks it down

[marsh dragon]

just google Delta force Gunsmith or MW2019 Gunsmith

[narrow lance]

I can't post it directly, but let me do this with my guns in BF

[marsh dragon]

balls like drum mag

[jaunty sand]

maybe with a roni kit like an fmg or smth

[rugged barn]

if they ever add more mags for weapons, add a heavy penalty like slower movement, ads and less acccuracy due to the weight

[narrow lance]

the Magpul FMG9 was FIREEEEE

"Star Wars folding RIFLE"

[rugged barn]

AND DONT MAKE LASER GUNS LIKE DELTA FORCE

[jaunty sand]

(is not actually a rifle) trole

[marsh dragon]

Accuracy actually become better with weight so

ADS-
Move speed -
Accuracy +
Maybe Reload Speed -

[rugged barn]

but harder to maintain in sustained fire

[solar quarry]

Oh I see... the possibilities are enourmous. That would be awesome!

Wonder if that's a nightmare for developers? Especially when it comes to balancing. 🫨

[jaunty sand]

any mag extention attachment is instantly gonna be meta i think

[rugged barn]

That's why i said only 4 interfering in the stats, the rest would be cosmetic

[marsh dragon]

ofc it is lol

more dakka

[narrow lance]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vPJEH8ZevwM @solar quarry

[rugged barn]

not if it has heavy penalties

[solar quarry]

good thinking

[ancient aspen]

True soldier not die like brother and sister

[jaunty sand]

i like how bf seperates itself from cod by generally not messing around too much with extended magazines

[narrow lance]

WYSIWYG

[sacred eagle]

Throwing around ideas here, what if bigger mags had lower reserve ammo?

[narrow lance]

What you see is what you get, I liked that about BF4

[rugged barn]

Like, Delta Force makes it quite balanced with higher mags because it reduces some stats that are important, like recoil

[marsh dragon]

i dont, i want to shoot more

[narrow lance]

PackedRacoon, that would be interesting

[jaunty sand]

i feel like if u want more ammo you ought to use a gun that has a bigger mag like an rpk or somthin

[narrow lance]

Tarkov does that with Extended mags - if you got a Mag 100 on your M4, the recoil climbs higher irregardless of what you put on it

[jaunty sand]

agree

[sacred eagle]

So you have bigger mags but you'll have to hunt for ammo more often

[narrow lance]

Whole reason why support class exists buddies

[rugged barn]

And you wont shoot as accurately

[narrow lance]

Do you battle roles and nobodies ever out of ammo lmao

[ancient aspen]

Team fight fun but tank get ready kill them

[marsh dragon]

thats stupid

[rugged barn]

Its called "balance"

[narrow lance]

It really makes the gunfighting balanced

[ancient aspen]

True

[narrow lance]

if you dumped 100 rounds of laser beams out of a no recoil M4, what seperates you from the CoD M4 Meta Buildz

[marsh dragon]

i mean lower ADS and Reload speed already make this balanced no?

[solar quarry]

so like wordpress for gunsmithing

[sacred eagle]

Yeah, that could be an idea we bring up in labs if they plan on doing mag attachments

[jaunty sand]

thats w im saying

[rugged barn]

No because you can still shoot for longer and being able to maintaining fire? Its still the same

[narrow lance]

Yeah, that's also a penalty, ADS and Draw speed are reduced too

[rugged barn]

so it needs to have another layer of balance which affects your recoil

[jaunty sand]

hopefully bf6 also makes recoil an actual thing cos in 2042 its just not

[narrow lance]

In Tarkov, gunfights can literally be decided by a lucky stray round to the head,eyes

[sacred eagle]

My hope is that they add a forum channel in the discord for ideas on labs that people can react on to show if they like them or not

[marsh dragon]

i mean we already have 75 round drums on AKs in DF and its mostly meta to get magazines as big as possible

[jaunty sand]

coz df sucks lol?

[narrow lance]

so the 100 round mags are deffo useful, but you have a slightly longer draw time from sprint etc. That mag fed SAW is helpful in CQB where you know you need to already have sightlines on it

[marsh dragon]

remember

dont talk about monetization or they will got massive 😡

[rugged barn]

Which is why i said -> 4 attachments only, if you get higher mag, one slot would be filled (hopefully barrel)

[orchid monolith]

I wish they re-made BF2 with the same gameplay but modern graphics.

[narrow lance]

I think if BF decided to run more than 4 attachments it should deffo be cosmetic kits

[marsh dragon]

can we get like 5

barrel
underbarrel
Sights
mags
stock

[jaunty sand]

i feel like if theyre gonna do extended mags they should do it like bf3 where it was only for a select few guns

[narrow lance]

if they wanted to monetize, they could sell me Zentico furniture

[sacred eagle]

Though I doubt it I'd love a labs section on monetization, I think the community could definitely come up with some compromises around it

[jaunty sand]

ARs having extended mags is bound to cause issues

[rugged barn]

70 USD, with Premium system

If they add battlepasses and cosmetics, allow me to obtain premium currency in-game and use em on it + passes are permanent

[marsh dragon]

bf 2 gameplay now shit tbh

[rugged barn]

No, more cogs in the machinje, its easier to break, stock would be cosmetic

[sacred eagle]

I agree, I hope they stay away from mags

[orchid monolith]

I thought that they shut down the master servers and you can't play it at all because it requires you to handshake with the master server?

[narrow lance]

Just sell me licensed parts and such, I'll buy a Krink kit over a skin that is supposed to be "neochrome" but just looks fuckin purple lmao

[marsh dragon]

i think if you close online game you should unlock its backend to make possible making private servers

[marsh dragon]

lol just sell Mil Sim packs

[orchid monolith]

What about singleplayer matches against bots?

[marsh dragon]

we have enough forces in world

[rugged barn]

with premium currency obtained via playing, AND GETTING PER MATCH

[jaunty sand]

if the games good it wont need bots innit

[marsh dragon]

they will never make it

[narrow lance]

I think we as a community could really help the devs if they'd listen

[marsh dragon]

its bad for business

[next mango]

there's still ways to play battlefield 2 online

[sacred eagle]

They should be happy with our 70$ 😭

[narrow lance]

if the shareholders were truly pant-shittingly scared over losing us, wouldn't it be good biz sense to siddown with us and chat about what we'd like to play?

[rugged barn]

looks at helldivers 2 being one of the most successfull double a games in recent decade by having accessible monetization, being fun and simple

[jaunty sand]

exactly. most of the community has generally the same ideas. not nearly as polarized as say, the halo community

[sacred eagle]

I second this, I've probably only purchased 10 bucks worth of SC, but I have all of the warbonds and most of the super store

[narrow lance]

Halo 3 vs ODST vs 5 - that's a whoooooole bunch of saltiness nobody ever wants to dig up

[marsh dragon]

EA is a company made to make profits i dont saying "leave multi-billion company alone" but think logical, they will never do this

[rugged barn]

If the game is good, and people like it, they will buy it even if they dont need it

[jaunty sand]

i like all 3 for entirely different reasons lol

[marsh dragon]

helldivers is popular but sony doesnt like it much

[sacred eagle]

That is not true bro

[rugged barn]

Yet its still bringing em big bucks

[sacred eagle]

They are funding a movie lmaoo

[narrow lance]

this guy is a fuckin enjoyer tell ya what - can't disuade the man who just enjoys!

[rugged barn]

If they also released for Xbox...

MAN

[marsh dragon]

for real make XBOX release

we need reinforcments

[sacred eagle]

That'd be awesome

[narrow lance]

everyone in here chatting up a storm, all of ya are fuckin chads

[solar quarry]

We're basically right here again with BF6:

https://youtu.be/IfvGPCYi4po?si=96xgHA9KEqe-PINB

[jaunty sand]

mfw helldivers wouldve made the most perfect odst game but microsoft hates halo

[sacred eagle]

no one is getting hostile despite our different ideas, this is great

[marsh dragon]

microsoft dont hate anything they are just stupid

[rugged barn]

I mean, they made one of the best battlepasses systems in the industry -> ITS PERMANENT

[narrow lance]

I wish that this could be how the internet handles discourse topics, we share our objective world views and how we can integrate ideas

hell hath no fury like a scored BF enjoyer

[marsh dragon]

because HD2 battlepasses includes gameplay content not only skins

[sacred eagle]

MCC's battle pass is sooo good

[marsh dragon]

its different

[jaunty sand]

ye sure its permanent but the rest of halo infinite was very lackluster

[solar quarry]

Ah so that's what we're missing.

[rugged barn]

I dont care about that, i want to have fun and the progression in HD2 is awesome

[marsh dragon]

i cant doubt that

[rugged barn]

As long as its permanent and doesnt feel like im losing stuff, im fine with it

[narrow lance]

Yeah! Hey Butt, start being rude about ideas please?

I feel like we need some downdoots in here for shits&gigs

[rugged barn]

Anyway, its funny how FOMO is stupid and makes NO SENSE in digital goods

[narrow lance]

this feels too wholesome, did someone just UCAV my mailbox, come on man it's like 12:30AM here!

[sacred eagle]

Yeah this isn't normal and it's scaring me, someone needs to tell me im a poor little console gamer

[solar quarry]

Problem is, we can't see each other's stats. 😭

[marsh dragon]

bring proximity chat to BF6 (it can be turned off) please

[solar quarry]

Now I miss Battlelog. ( ,_,)

[narrow lance]

when the stats aren't out, everyone's friendly, but let us find out you like using Incendiaries over Minis

[marsh dragon]

i will be so happy about that

[solar quarry]

*I'm not part of the mustard rice either.

(I use computers for work and console for games.)

[marsh dragon]

we should just judge everyones playstyle less

[sacred eagle]

Prox chat in battlebit was so funny actually

[marsh dragon]

i mean its good until its in game rules

[jaunty sand]

itd be nice but probably wasted since nobody ever uses their mic in battlefield games

[narrow lance]

PC Chad over here, I like how Console added M&K to the controls list, so they could bridge a gap, good on M$ for that ONE thing over a tragic 10 year history of bloating Windows

[marsh dragon]

yes, music banging on start was hilarious

mostly summer and crossbows but still good

[rugged barn]

also im curious

[sacred eagle]

I respect your right to use a artillery truck in spawn if you respect my right to call you profanities in chat and hit you with c4 jeep

[jaunty sand]

he spittin

[rugged barn]

How do you guys prefer reviving? BF1/BFV style with animation or BF3/BF4 style with charge up time?

[marsh dragon]

ye

[solar quarry]

I wanna try that left handed analog stick device I've been seeing around YT. Then I might join the mustard rice.

[narrow lance]

I love the Battlefield legacy guys, we all just wanna have fun lol

No matter your playstyle, you're loved and respected here, we're all a bunch of worms in the bowels of EA trying to enjoy SOMETHING here lmao

[jaunty sand]

bf3/4 style charge up

[marsh dragon]

BF3/4

[jaunty sand]

also bf1 didnt have animations it worked the same as 3 and 4

[urban whale]

@zypactz I'll love if people spoke in bf games the ping system in 2042 is useless

[marsh dragon]

bf1 was no charge

[sacred eagle]

Facts

[rugged barn]

i personally like the animation tbh

it adsd more charm to the game

[narrow lance]

I've heard a lot of say cool things about them, I got really used to WASD early on in life so I can strafe easier on WASD than Analog

[sacred eagle]

And the fact it can be spammed pisses me off

[narrow lance]

Oh yeah, add all the animations, I want muh BF6 to be animated

[marsh dragon]

Never listen to tryhards
never listen to esport guys

[jaunty sand]

u had a syringe in bf1 and the if u helt the button for longer theyd be revived with health

[sacred eagle]

Animation is cool but I'll always love my no animation defibs

[rugged barn]

Vehicle entering and outing

[jaunty sand]

if u didnt old it u just stick em with it and rambo revive em

[marsh dragon]

BRING BACK FIRST PERSON KNIFE KILLS

sorry it was my soul screaming

[narrow lance]

oooh that's a tough one, do I really want to climb into the tank every time?

[sacred eagle]

R6 could learn and thing or two from you

[rugged barn]

its a trade off

[narrow lance]

BRING BACK THE DISRESPECTFUL TAG GRAB SON!

yellin from my soul too buddy!

[sacred eagle]

If counter knifing gets added back there needs to be a quick time event mini game instead of a one button counter

[rugged barn]

Either you go in and risk dying while getting to cover, or you stay out and wahtever

[urban whale]

What I like about battlefield is everyone is having their own little battles on there when you get up high and watch over the battles commencing everyone is just going their own things a quite a sight to see

[marsh dragon]

i mean tryhards are small percent of players if they buy all shit from store they are still pisonong everyone elses expirience

[narrow lance]

balances those clips where they just get in and out of tanks lmao

[solar quarry]

I have a huge mental block against WASD - similar to the idea of things going into my b-hole. I mean I try to be open minded, but everything takes time.

[rugged barn]

they made R6 siege to be an Esports from the start

[narrow lance]

oh dude yeah!!! I love that too!

[urban whale]

Yeah the noise of the ping when someone is spamming, I say to myself okay we get it the enemy are near lmao 🤣

[jaunty sand]

i think having animations increases immersion and stops people cheesing repairs

[sacred eagle]

That feeling of being one soldier in a whole war is so immersive

[rugged barn]

also that yes, serves as a balance measure

[jaunty sand]

im a fan of it personally

but if they dont add it its whatever

[marsh dragon]

we should make request deny button for medics

[narrow lance]

but being an EFFECTIVE SOLDIER made you feel like a GOD

[jaunty sand]

defib + medic bag my beloved

[sacred eagle]

yessss

[marsh dragon]

if they cant revive you because you know, bro luying under bullets flying

[narrow lance]

Shoutout to the badass commanders I've had in conquest Large on Hainan Resort!!!

[urban whale]

I think people who are snipers are doing their own thing also, I've got to say there are some very talented pilots on battlefield mate once they see they don't leave you alone

[marsh dragon]

repair tool + SMAW my belowed

[rugged barn]

Also, tank turret rotation, BF3/BF4 or BF1/BFV style?

[marsh dragon]

add Soflam scope on sniper rifles

[narrow lance]

I feel if Battlefield embraced the grit and let people talk junk to each other again, everyone would be singing the praises regardless if the game played well or NOT

[marsh dragon]

BF3/4 1000%

[jaunty sand]

i think commander mode should return but make him an actual player on the map to incentivize people using it a bit more

[narrow lance]

BF3/4, something about 2042's tanks just make them feel like trucks

[sacred eagle]

BF4's vehicles are unbeatable

Actually so peak

[rugged barn]

That is the problem imo

[narrow lance]

M1 Abrams felt like an actual war machine

[marsh dragon]

all vehicles is unbeatable its about driver

[solar quarry]

Cursing on the forums, obscene clan graphics, etc. I want all of that back too.

[rugged barn]

BFV's and BF1's makes the vehicles feel like actual tanks and is more immersive, while also maintainig its deadliness

[sacred eagle]

no no I mean they are the best not actually unbeatable

[narrow lance]

look all they gotta do is look for the "This TBH reactions" and get it done

[jaunty sand]

i liked bf5s vehicle controlls and handling the best personally i feel like bf4s can feel jank sometimes

[rugged barn]

and spinning the turret 180 degrees in a millissecond is not fun

[urban whale]

I was busy with life at the time when they dropped commander mode, when I saw ghost gaming speaking of this how the commander can watch over the battlefield via his phone I was like that is insane and makes it feel more than just a game being after from the battlefield

[solar quarry]

meta reponse this

[marsh dragon]

its balanced

[rugged barn]

Its not

[marsh dragon]

why? soldiers can do this

[rugged barn]

BF's and BFV's are more balanced

[narrow lance]

Hell, we've been in here making a ruckus all night and not once has someone from EA or DICE popped in to say "we're workin on it bro" clearly they don't actually care about moderation, why force it on the games.

[solar quarry]

nb4barned4pyramid

[rugged barn]

Becaue a turret weighting more than a goddamn car shouldnt be able to do that

[narrow lance]

Lunber plays WoT or WT

call it

[rugged barn]

ANd also, i saw a video of a tank spinning its turret 360 degrees, took 10 seconds, make it 5 and we're set

[narrow lance]

I got $5 on it

[marsh dragon]

i can make fun from it all day lol

[jaunty sand]

i wanna think that at least one dice guy stalks the chat and writes down what we're saying so at least its known

[rugged barn]

what are those?

[solar quarry]

oh lawd is someone called PTFO in here? that's what people message me when I claymore them in their base. Never figured out what it means.

[urban whale]

If they can take all the best things we liked from old and current games into the new Battlefield game it'll be good I feel, I see many people who like the running animations on bfv or the atmosphere on BF1 but they loved the game play and grittiness of bf3/4 add what was good in each title and you'll make a classic BF

[narrow lance]

World of Tanks or WarThunder - looks like my $5 is forfeit

[marsh dragon]

you also cant turn in full gear instantly and be defibrilated from blowed up by C4 but its a game

tank should have same turret turn speed as regular soldier turn speed

[rugged barn]

What i mean is like, it should be able to move, but needs to be heavy because the tanks are WAY too deadly and having it be able to move EVERYTHING too fast is not balanced

[jaunty sand]

ur money is forfeit anyways if ur a wt player lol

[solar quarry]

World of Tankcraft™

[rugged barn]

As i said it other day here, Semi auto shouldnt be faster than full auto

[narrow lance]

World of Tanks is sooooo greedy, hey bro wanna buy a Type 62? come on, you know you want chinesium tank for $65 dollars LMAO

[marsh dragon]

wt does consume your money only after consuming your soul

[solar quarry]

That reminds me of Soflam Superiority™ back in BF4

[urban whale]

What I also liked about BFV was the animation damages you saw upon your plane or tank it wasn't just sparking it had bullet holes, the planes wings were all damaged and riddled with bullet holes

[rugged barn]

saw that in the Last Tiget campaign, its awesome

[jaunty sand]

i highkey agree that turret rotation speed should be seperate from ur sens

[solar quarry]

DICE tried to make a tanks only game mode and all the players just got out their soflams and javelins.

[narrow lance]

You guys are chads, if you're down with sending me a Friend Req - do so, tell me what Region of the world you're in, I'd love to play BF4 with you guys sometime, I know bZ servers are still kicking

[rugged barn]

That is my entire point, otherwise spining it 180 in a milissecond would make soldiers moving close too easy of a target

[urban whale]

Maybe make a mode where they are all disabled and all you can use is tanks and armoured vehicles only.

[jaunty sand]

im on xbox 💔

[solar quarry]

That's what we all said on Battlelog and it was ignored.

[narrow lance]

OH NO MAN, we gotta get you in the CULT of PC gamin

[urban whale]

I'm on Xbox also

[narrow lance]

Server Browser on PC kicks some serious butt

[marsh dragon]

for real

name it "OnlyTanks"

[narrow lance]

o7 to all my console homies, you guys taking a beating from EA fr

[solar quarry]

Unfortunately I will probably lag bomb your match. I have a fast connection but I live in Bangkok. I'm about 15 min train ride from Lumphini Gardens map IRL. xD

[urban whale]

If they can make infantry only modes why not make tanks only modes

[jaunty sand]

id like to but all my progress in every other game i play just being null doesnt sit right with me

[rugged barn]

The tank only mode shouldnt allow you to get out of the tank tbh

[narrow lance]

WOW - that's super sick ButtCarcass - do you just sit on the stairs with a 320 IRL too?

[solar quarry]

Yes but only 320 Smoke. headshots all day err day

[urban whale]

Precisely don't allow getting out of a tank become a thing in tank only mode

[narrow lance]

shame BF never got progress across all platforms

[sacred eagle]

David Sirland (BF2 & BF4 designer, new BF producer) confirmed they plan on cherry picking the best parts of every battlefield game to make the best experience

[narrow lance]

If they flub this one, expect the BF4 community to go rouge and freeboot new content lmfaooo

[jaunty sand]

that depends on what they think is the best lol

[urban whale]

That's good let's hope it can be implemented.

[marsh dragon]

so BF3 remastered?

[narrow lance]

someone already got a expanded version of BF4 alive, not sure what else happened with that

[jaunty sand]

this game makes or breaks the franchise i think

[narrow lance]

ditto

[sacred eagle]

I think they'll do a good job

[rugged barn]

RIGHT

[sacred eagle]

Let's hope 🤞

[jaunty sand]

i wanna hope so but imma just be skeptical until i see gameplay or get to try labs

[urban whale]

I think they know this is sink or swim so I expect something big from this game, especially with COD in the state it's in might get some new players crossing over

[sacred eagle]

David Sirland twitter is interesting, I read through his replies when making a video about battlefield 6 hype, some really good stuff coming from him

[narrow lance]

I think they'll do a good job relative to what they can produce. The OG members of BF4's dev team aren't with the companies responsible anymore, so it could be fair to say, everything since has been missing them

[sacred eagle]

Yeah, labs is what will decide if I get the game or not for sure

[rugged barn]

Movement stuff i want to see in the new Battlefield -> Jumping higher than a wall (grab and pull yourself), lying on your back like BFV, rolling from dropping from tall places, being able to crouch sprint, sprint from lying prone and moving up (straight to normal run) AND NO OMNIMOVEMENT

[jaunty sand]

bf5 movement is peak

[narrow lance]

I'd literally be cool with them just doing BF4 controls and movement all over again, the tech in that game was SOOOOO stupid, you could teleport if you knew how to do it

[urban whale]

Well if they are going back to boots to ground and back to basics. It's fair to say I don't think you'll be seeing anyone diving backwards in the air like in call of duty lmao 🤣

[narrow lance]

Tell em Butt!

[rugged barn]

im not fond of sliding, but it can be doable with heavy penatlies

[jaunty sand]

not being able to vault over somthing because its 3 cm too high is annoying lol

[sacred eagle]

Vince Zampella being there, and David Sirland as a producer after being a designer for 4, I hope they can do something good

[rugged barn]

if you are crouching or prone and tried to run, your character was still for a second before moving

[jaunty sand]

well in bf4 if u try to go from prone to sprint ur stuck in place for a moment so they could just do that

[narrow lance]

everyone remembers "perpetually crouched but somehow still sprinting" man right?

[rugged barn]

or just make you run straight away without stopping?

[urban whale]

I liked BFV movement to be honest the crouch sprint and the little slide you could do. And the animations when running into a wall your character would dodge the wall and swing their body round.

[jaunty sand]

crouch sprint should be in every game

[rugged barn]

you mean like hitting it?

[narrow lance]

I'mma keep it 99 and round up chief - a slide would get your ass SMOKED in basic training

[rugged barn]

OH and also, i loved the material penetration according to caliber in BFV

[jaunty sand]

idk ur the one talking about penalties for sliding so im just listing off other movement penalties theyve had in the past

[narrow lance]

if they saw you go to prone from a run and hit a slide, I know you'd keep a stark reminder of that experience in the form of a boot print on your skull lmfao

[urban whale]

Yeah hitting it I saw many people nearly hitting obstacles and their characters animations would dodge round it

[rugged barn]

and i miss the shots being able to penetrate more than one person in BF3/BF4

[rugged barn]

I dont think it was a penalty by design, it was more jank than anything

[narrow lance]

So MANY Collaterals

[sacred eagle]

Wish I could post pics here but tbh it's for the best because Sirlands entire twitter would have been archived in the channel

[jaunty sand]

well it was there and we had to endure so idk

[rugged barn]

I remember playing in BF3 PS3 i once got 3 kills with a single mag with the F2000 in Seine Crossing

[narrow lance]

I shared this earlier, but now that there are more people in the chat, my buddy made this clip about BF4 and I think it summed it all up perfectly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOg5AmZejVQ

Give this a watch and tell me whatcha think, am I right or wrong lol

[jaunty sand]

i vvatch it

[urban whale]

I'm hoping some of you get into the labs and that's not me capping I've applied but for those who get in I hope you give your feedback about how you felt and what could be added.

[narrow lance]

I hope we all get our chance to say something and weigh in, not just one of us, but I know we're in good hands if you guys get picked <3 much love to the homies in the chat rn

[solar quarry]

they went to TTK games

[solar quarry]

giggety

[halcyon sundial]

just dont buy into the hype, name one release this company has done without crapping the bed in the last couple of years.

[urban whale]

If I get picked trust me I'll definitely be giving my feedback I'm not blunt but I can give very good constructive criticism. I can be blunt but coming across as such can be perceived as being a spoilt brat lmao 🤣

[rugged barn]

i mean, in the recent triple a industry? Impossible

Ubisoft is shitting the bed for a long time, for example

Ea killed Dead Space 2 Remake

[solar quarry]

I'm region f*cked but I'm here for support. (drops ammo)

[narrow lance]

We'll carry your complaints forward bro! You'll be heard too!

[jaunty sand]

i dont think anyone is hyped per se, but we are just talking about what we would like to see

[urban whale]

I'm being very reserved but hopeful. I got let down by 2042 when I pre-ordered years ago and recently got let down with the Undisputed boxing game 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[halcyon sundial]

i will believe a good bf game when it is in my hands and i am playing it

[sacred eagle]

I'm gonna speak my mind, it's the only thing we can do to make sure the game gets to where it needs to be

[urban whale]

That's fair. Proof is in the pudding

[sacred eagle]

be honest and give it to em straight, doc

[finite mauve]

I mean all the battlefields have had a rough release, yet they are good games still. The only objectively bad battlefield game is 2042 so you can't say a loss of trust when this is their only fuck up when it comes to battlefield.

[rugged barn]

Im getting fucking lit up here!

[sacred eagle]

David Sirland said they plan on showing off actual gameplay and make labs stuff public, so hopefully all will be well 🙏🙏

[jaunty sand]

bf5 is a good game but their marketing and overall attitude to criticism during that time left a sour taste in everyones mouth

[finite mauve]

Yeah

But mainly 2042 is where they crapped

[jaunty sand]

true

[finite mauve]

Irs a decent game but not a good battle game really

Its just decent now

[halcyon sundial]

many ea games have programs for offering feedback for years, many of the good stuff gets ignored. it is an illusion, happy to be proven wrong but the track record exists and it is long.

[urban whale]

Oh I'll definitely speak my mind because as I see it those who are successful in the labs have to be harsh and straight to the point. But then introducing the labs and going further afield to add more people to test it shows you they want the community to show them what they want. The games also in our hands to some extent

[halcyon sundial]

did you forget hardline? lol

[finite mauve]

Hardline is a good game objectively

Whats your point

[narrow lance]

2042 lacks Identity, it doesn't know who it's competitor is. Is it CoD or is it Tom Clancy Ghost Recon 2 Future Warfighter 🤔

[halcyon sundial]

nice comedy lol

[finite mauve]

2042 is worse then hardline

[jaunty sand]

but their inability to safeguard a modern battlefield game was a colossal failure

[finite mauve]

Your the only one laughing brother

[rugged barn]

Comparing to BF2042, its a good game

[sacred eagle]

I love hardline 😔

[halcyon sundial]

i dont think you can make that claim lol

[rugged barn]

And man, im revisiting BF3 voice lines and i miss those realistic, crued and funny voice lines

[narrow lance]

Oh woe is me never being able to play Hardline to form my own opinion - yes I'm serious I missed the boat and would love to partipate in that debate

[finite mauve]

Maybe yes. But they switched stuff up a little bit and made it cops and robers. But the core battlefield experience was still there.

[urban whale]

I think we need a mixer of old veterans and new players to test the game. Veterans will be good to explain old maps and game play. I remember playing BFBC2 the sound of the echo from the guns when firing within a building was deafening it was soo gritty I loved it

[finite mauve]

I just did

[halcyon sundial]

hardline and 2042 are not anywhere near bf1, bf3 and bf4

[sacred eagle]

Hoping we atleast get frequent battle chatter back, super immersive

[finite mauve]

Never said they were

[halcyon sundial]

you cant tho as many people disliked hardline

[finite mauve]

But hardline is good

[jaunty sand]

hardline is a fun game. i think it wouldve done better if it was seperate from the battlefield franchise but its fun nontheless

[rugged barn]

"Man, i felt that in my left nut"

[finite mauve]

Same as V and they are both good games??

Objectively speaking

[narrow lance]

"I HOPE IT HURTS!!!!"

[finite mauve]

Maybe hardline less but ar the core it actually felt like battlefield still

Classes

Maps

[rugged barn]

"That one made me shit my panties!"

[narrow lance]

"OKAY, I'M PICKING YOU UP NOW!"

[halcyon sundial]

V could have been good but it was ruined by bad launch, lack of content and death patches turning weapons into water pistols just horrible balance

[rugged barn]

Add body dragging ffs

[finite mauve]

Here's the problem you think about the past. If you judge things by the past then that means by that logic that battlefield 3/4 are bad?? But they aren't

[jaunty sand]

soldier interactions in battlefield via chatter is a big part of it imo

[finite mauve]

So what's your point?

😐

[urban whale]

They also kept changing the TTK without letting the players know also lmao 🤣

[finite mauve]

Most battlefields have had rough launch

There's nothing new G

[rugged barn]

"Oh that one left my balls flap in the wind!"

[halcyon sundial]

you didnt read every criticism of bfv. the launch was bad for bf4 for sure however bf4 a better game.

[urban whale]

But I loved BFV I like when they brought in the Pacific maps I put loads of hours into BFV

[finite mauve]

Well yeah ofc 4 is better. But V is good to

Objectively speaking

[narrow lance]

I think I maintain the idea that BF3 was goated but BF4 allowed the community to have a "renaissance" with the franchise more or less. I think a lot of folks still see BF4 as a great game and don't think it's aged as much as BF3 has. Not to discount BF3 in any way I just think BF4 still stands as a more "mainstream" title between the 2 in 2025

[halcyon sundial]

yep and some really dumb decisions. people yelled at em to not change when they dropped the death patch and to revert when they dropped it but everyone was ignored.

[jaunty sand]

bf4s console servers are also still up so theres that

[narrow lance]

and the self-hosters on PC are still super strong

[halcyon sundial]

nah bfv was murdered by incompetence of balance patching and lack of content.

[rugged barn]

One thing i would love to see they maintaining is the 3 shot rule

[finite mauve]

By that logic 4 was bad then. Again you aren't making any good points as you are judging the game entirely by only its launch and when they fixed stuff

[jaunty sand]

bf5 got shafted both by the playerbase and devs imo

[finite mauve]

😂

[rugged barn]

takes roughly 3 - 4 shots for you to die regardless of gun in general

[urban whale]

2042 is fun don't get me wrong but if you ever want a laugh go and watch the old videos on YouTube about the launch and cheesy lines that the characters used to say. It made me want to stick a hot burning rod down my ears

[rugged barn]

but SMG's? Make it a bit more

[narrow lance]

Q to Spot, I think BF1 was more lackluster than BFV, but that's also coming from a guy with only 100 hours in each game, thousands in BF4 though

[halcyon sundial]

i am not talking about launch there in my last point lol. keep up. the death balancing patch was post pacific drop, well into games life. lack of content is a legit gripe with the game too.

[jaunty sand]

out of the 3 bf1 is my least favorite but i do still really like bf1

[urban whale]

I agree

[narrow lance]

Like WW1 was mostly fought with shotguns and rifles, what is a Drum fed SMG doin here lmao

[finite mauve]

The game has plenty of content idk what your talking about

[narrow lance]

I loved the calvery in BF1

[halcyon sundial]

they constantly messed with ttk in bfv constantly which was annoying. every patch it was like a diff game, annoying.

[finite mauve]

We aren't talking about the past though

[halcyon sundial]

they dropped content.

[finite mauve]

Objectively V is good

[finite mauve]

Ok?

[halcyon sundial]

we are though

[finite mauve]

But there's a enough

[jaunty sand]

i see bf1 as more of a "what if" kinda game. what if all those gun concepts that were proposed in ww1 actually got into mainstream production? etc

[urban whale]

Yeah that was a good addition to BF1 just get jousted by a charging maniac on horseback lmao 🤣

[halcyon sundial]

no there wasn't

[rugged barn]

I mean, it wouldnt be fun with only rifles and shotguns tbh

[finite mauve]

They dropped content got 4 and hardline years ago whats your point

💀💀

[halcyon sundial]

omg they planned more content for bfv but dropped it

[rugged barn]

BFV and BF2042 iitc they stopped updating before their alotted deadline

[finite mauve]

Ok

Womp womp

Game is still good

Objectively

[solar nexus]

https://youtu.be/CEO8C9fEqCc?si=M5fiMTIT0VFPJ5cc

[rugged barn]

ALso BF4 had proptotype guns back then, AEK971, AN94, and so on

[narrow lance]

I mean, it'd be accurate, I guess what we're really saying here, WW1 isn't that interesting from a "boots on the ground" scenario lmao

[sacred eagle]

2042 did?? I thought it got like 7 seasons?

[jaunty sand]

eastern front update being torn away in order to make 2042 :(((((((

[halcyon sundial]

it isnt objectively. talk about the balancing issues across game life.

you wont as you are nostalgia glasses on

[finite mauve]

I'm talking about now though. You are in the past

The game is good as of now

[narrow lance]

also, I expected more trenches in BF1, I was kinda sad it wasn't like a giant field to cross and die over like the Maginot Line

[finite mauve]

No???

[halcyon sundial]

no i am talking about the entire games lifespan

[solar nexus]

People used to say Hardline is the worst battlefield. Then bf5 came and some people said the same thing. Then we got BF2042

[finite mauve]

Well im not talking about that

[jaunty sand]

theres a few (dlc) maps that are mostly trenches and fields

[finite mauve]

But the game to its core is a good game

[solar nexus]

Battlefield 1 survived

[narrow lance]

Agree, I think it's cyclical

[halcyon sundial]

bfv is not a bad game, it is ok. its potential was ruined by incompetence.

[solar nexus]

Yes

[finite mauve]

Guess we can agree to disagree

[narrow lance]

ah, never bought the DLCs as I wasn't diggin base game

[jaunty sand]

i mean thats pretty fair tbh. worst thing changes as people see somthing even worse comes out. although i think bf5 is a better game than both

[rugged barn]

It was supposed to have 8 (since each season lasts 3 months, 3 x 4 = 12) it stopped before the "normal" time for a battlefield game to be supported

[jaunty sand]

fair enough bf1 isnt everyones cuppa tea

[solar nexus]

People even said BF4 is bad when it came out

[rugged barn]

Ruined by EA, like most games EA touches

[halcyon sundial]

bfv needed way more content and for the games balancing patching team to calm the hell down. the game was beautiful on pacific drop. all my buddies were on everyday bumping bfv then death patch ended that, everyone quit, servers emptied like mad.

[sacred eagle]

Huh, I didn't realize that. Thanks for pointing that out

[urban whale]

I don't think anyone truly appreciates a game until we get a new one 2042 damn I play it, it's fun but that had such a rough launch and it doesn't even feel like a battlefield game I like they added the Bradley and BMP-2 lately but all the gadgets and wall hacks and shooting someone and it locates you that is annoying

[finite mauve]

Core gameplay wise no. Bugs yes

[narrow lance]

I still respect it as an entry though, it's a different paradigm of BF combat, just like how I'm not a fan of Skyrim in all honesty, I prefered FONV lmao

[sacred eagle]

Net code on launch 🤮

[finite mauve]

Lol

[solar nexus]

Our expectations gotten so low. We judged Battlefield Hardline way too harshly compared to bf2042

[halcyon sundial]

bf launch always a disaster.

[jaunty sand]

which is fair also because it was borderline unplayable for a bit after it came out. why play 4 when u can play 3 atp

[rugged barn]

BF4 PS3 had the operation locker C flag (the observation post that could be destroyed) literally making your PS3 stop running

[sacred eagle]

I have hope that having a CTE like labs before the actual launch of the game is going to be so helpful, after all it's what saved 4

[halcyon sundial]

console issue

[finite mauve]

Not a battlefield game locking your console

💀🙏

[rugged barn]

it had to be restarted

[jaunty sand]

full boxed by c

[narrow lance]

lots of cool discussion goin on over here

[urban whale]

I didn't play hardline. I'm gonna be honest with you, I know it had battlefield in the title but I literally thought it was made by a different company because it was soo different to BF3/4 that I didn't realise it was from the same franchise

[rugged barn]

it was funny because Shanghai didnt happen that and it was a more demanding map

[halcyon sundial]

next bf better have proper server browser

[rugged barn]

and scoreboard and release

[narrow lance]

I'd like to have the option to host my own servers like BF3/4

that way we can keep playing it like BF4

look if I have to wait decades for a good release, they better let me host my own

[halcyon sundial]

no more of this portal rubbish

[urban whale]

I think they will add everything into the new game scoreboard server browser etc they can't afford to not add things like that into the new game.

[jaunty sand]

it was, hardline was developed by visceral games while dice was developing bf1 at that time

[sacred eagle]

Portal is confirmed to be coming back

Hoping they do it justice this time around tho

[narrow lance]

I would have liked Portal more IF it had the actual game and all the features rolled into it, not just a gun repasting and skin translation

[halcyon sundial]

i hope it is more integrated into the server browser

[jaunty sand]

portal needed more content ]

RU team didnt even have their own transport heli ffs

[narrow lance]

Portal works well as it is, but the fuckin UI is what makes it so grating, feels like Tom Clancy's Warfighter 2 game from like 2008, all the damn BLUE lmao

[sacred eagle]

Me too, I also hope they add a filter for portal so it doesn't get mixed in with vanilla

[rugged barn]

Now i understand why we wont get a Dante's Inferno continuation, it was made by them too, not only Dead Space

[urban whale]

I like the discussions in here agreements and disagreements shows people care about the franchise 🫡

[narrow lance]

agree

[halcyon sundial]

yea that probably would be the way to do it

[solar quarry]

Portal was a great idea, barely executed and then forgotten. The term I prefer is "survived abortion"

[narrow lance]

I hate how they try to force you into the Portal with the guns

I just wanted the AKS-74U because it's the only AK in the battlefield franchise with some WOOD

[rugged barn]

what do you mean

[solar quarry]

nb4nobrazilians server

[jaunty sand]

does bf4 rpk count

[sacred eagle]

Can't wait for conquest large banzore in bf6

[narrow lance]

That RPK fuccs and knows what seggs is

[jaunty sand]

trve

[narrow lance]

Banzore kicks ass, I'm glad I'm a member with them

[rugged barn]

what about my Pecheneg huh?

Its a literal full auto SVD

[narrow lance]

Okay Lunber, listen buddy, you gotta have a bipod and patience, we're not the same, I'm a mag fed hate spitter, you're a box fed emplacement, know your position, play your part as Biggie would say

[jaunty sand]

i dont like using LMGs cos their non bipod accuracy is shit

[rugged barn]

Dont show your face on my secured hallway, or you'll...FUCK I GOTTA RELOAD

[narrow lance]

Thanks to the discussion here this evening - I'll be singlehandledly reviving bZ Server #5 HC TDM

[rugged barn]

swaps mags on some of the LMG's like M249 to make em useable without a bipod

[narrow lance]

[10 minutes later] Lunber: FIRE THE BOX MAG AT THEM

[rugged barn]

still reloading

[sacred eagle]

Give us to option to use the box mag as melee while reloading

[rugged barn]

OH OH

if we reload with at least one in the chamber, allow us to FIRE it while reloading

[narrow lance]

Give me the option to self-harm myself so they can't kill me while I'm reloading

we die with HONOR in this MF

[jaunty sand]

like r6 siege

[rugged barn]

this comes from RoN and GB

but yeah, many shooters uses this nowadays

[narrow lance]

the MF in question [Operation Locker HC TDM stairwell near the scanners]

[rugged barn]

and for sound design? USE THE REAL SOUNDS FROM WEAPONS like BF3

[narrow lance]

FAXXXXXX

the guns sound so GOOD in BF3

[jaunty sand]

never played RoN and idk what gb is

gameboy?

[rugged barn]

Ready or Not and Ground Branch

[sacred eagle]

the ghost of Hirohito possessed you and typed this in my mind

[jaunty sand]

o

[rugged barn]

Ready or Not = Modern Swat
Ground Branch = Modern Rainbow Six

[narrow lance]

nooo-dishornoru-sama

[rugged barn]

these are 2 great shooters i recommend

RoN is great also for solo

[narrow lance]

Lunber be spittin over here

[rugged barn]

and still reloading

[narrow lance]

I like Ground Branch but man they need to give me some new guns already

[sacred eagle]

Idk I could never get into RoN solo

[rugged barn]

not only that, but also storytelling for the missions

[sacred eagle]

Love it with friends but not alone

[sacred eagle]

Yesss

[solar quarry]

420 tickets per match

[rugged barn]

RoN is awesome for the environmental + Briefing in missions

[narrow lance]

Lunber, are you MANUFACTURING THE BOX MAG AND BULLETS????? Come on man, I don't know whose dumber, you or the guy still standing at the end of the hallway NOT SHOOTING AT YOU

[rugged barn]

thank you for waiting, soldier!

Im still reloading

[narrow lance]

Fires 2 rounds panic reloads the PKP again

[sacred eagle]

It's okay man I'll cover us with my airburst 😁

[rugged barn]

reloads finishes

AWESOME now i ca- dead by sniper from the other side of the map

[narrow lance]

Lunber has been putting 5.56 in his PKP

explosive or smoke Raccoon?

[rugged barn]

i want to see older guns like XM8

[sacred eagle]

explo ofc

If it ain't the most lethal I ain't taking it

[rugged barn]

And also, make the 6.5 mm guns there too

[rugged barn]

you were the one using USAS12 with explosive rounds in BF3....

[sacred eagle]

nooo......

[narrow lance]

well that was a lost cause, if you had smoke we could have covered Lunber while he singlehandedly rebuilds the USSR to keep up with his PKP's ammunition costs

[rugged barn]

Have you seen top gang?

[narrow lance]

I'm over here running the PP2K and I'm out of ammo myself. My MBT is empty and that Menu 7 MRE is calling my name

[narrow lance]

? not familiar, what is it, I'm interested

[rugged barn]

A parody movie i think from the 90's or 2000's

with Charlie Sheen

That parodies, Top Gun

One of the scenes i think he picks up an M60 to shoot someone AND WASTES ALL HIS AMMO, missing all shots and making the person outline on the wall behind him

that's me

[narrow lance]

I haven't seen that, but will be looking for that because a parody of Top Gun is always up my alley, gives me BF Friends vibes

[sacred eagle]

BF6 holy hand grenade map easter egg?

[narrow lance]

That's rich!

[rugged barn]

Top Gun, Platoon and some others

[rugged barn]

No, we're rich!

[narrow lance]

Leave it to an M60 to be uncontrollable and leave someone unharmed

[Points at Gold Deposit] We're rich

[sacred eagle]

it's payday fellas

[narrow lance]

time to buy more 2042 cosmetics

[narrow lance]

see ya buddies, it's almost 2 over here, I'll be back, but next time, I'm bringing my SUPER positive attitude about Battlefield

you guys aren't ready for me to get all sappy about how good BF4 was for me as a person, keeping me out of trouble IRL lmaooooo

[sacred eagle]

nighty night brainwav

sleep well buddy

[simple cipher]

Based opinion but NATO service rifle in BF 2025 should be AK-308

The shotgun fires full auto and has an anti recoil mitigation system in it, it's a deadly ass gun😭

[sacred eagle]

[finite mauve]

Yeah

I love jeeps in battlefield 4

They go boing

[sacred eagle]

I'll die a happy man if I can just be called 1 more slur by a tank main before I pass

[desert wedge]

anyone here that works for DICE that can shed some light as to why nearly ALL North American BF4 servers are constantly dumping players?

[flint rivet]

[solar quarry]

It's ok let me explain. I was in US until two years ago. now i'm outta region in southeast asia. So I'm gonna make lag too. Now I know why brazilians come to play with US. They just want to be on server with a lot of people.

[flint rivet]

yea

we have brazilians/south america servers

i just saying about representation

u know

brazil loves fps gamings

in counter strike is one of the best country of the world

if both of us joined a US server everyone would be walking on the air when they jump.

I like this. like flood zone on steroids

[granite wyvern]

Don’t know

[solar quarry]

April 20 at 6:90pm

[minor leaf]

I only get "Lost connection" in bf4 servers, more people with this problem?

[lapis timber]

yeah

i've seen post that there are DDoS attacks on hosting companies

at that they stop at 14:00 UTC+1

[minor leaf]

What a mfkers

[solar quarry]

why not DDOS something that has a real impact on assholes rather than us?

[carmine grail]

What's ddos

[marsh lichen]

Did you guys get an confirmation email yet?

[violet shore]

it kickcs me out of servers in bf4 too

kicks*

[lapis timber]

Distributed Denial of Service

hackers can infect many computers and then force them to send request to specified ip adress

server cant serve that many requests and dies

putting that in simple words

1000 people entering small shop basically

[violet shore]

guys is the bf4 problem fixed?

[sly sleet]

no

[violet shore]

oh man

[shy yacht]

Battlefield 3 had incredible DLC maps while BF4s free updates were way better than any of the dlc, so what's your point

Damn I went to bed hoping 4 would be ok when I woke up

[solar quarry]

when someone accesses the D volume on a DOS operating system

[lapis timber]

Bf4 servers status?

Still dying?

[marsh lichen]

Decent

[wispy mango]

bf4 unplayable today

sunday ruined

[quasi dirge]

anyone want to do the phantom elevator easter egg? I have the hanger 21 dog tag (battlefield 4 btw)

[digital ravine]

i need help for BF4 "Connection to the server has been lost. Please check your internet connection or try again later."

[stiff forum]

Im a newbie in battlefield and started playing battlefield 5. Is it just me to get headache after playing... I've never had this before playing apex legends and delta force what's the problem My fov is 70 and I got the motion blur off

got so dizzy..

[wispy mango]

did it stop?

[lapis timber]

didnt check

[twilit loom]

HOW CAN I CEATE A SERVER

how can i rent a server in BF1

[wispy mango]

still happening, just got disconnected again

[carmine grail]

Skibidi

[digital orbit]

Racist air to air missile

[marsh lichen]

Hey, chillax

[digital orbit]

Good job failing then

Youre just a glorified bottle rocket with trust issues

Ohh my mistake, I'm talking to a peacekeeper missile.

You see heat, but stay away from it.

Go chase a commercial flight, probably the only thing you could actually penetrate

The heck is sexual about air combat

I give up, you're too dense to realise I've been treating you like an actual missile.

[lapis timber]

once again

[digital orbit]

That's why you say racist things without regard,I understand that

[full holly]

Joins a a discord server, immediately see people fighting

Never dissapoints

[wispy mango]

I think it stopped now, no dc so far

[digital orbit]

Im not arguing, he/she doesn't understand what i was saying

[frozen rune]

any news about that DDoS attack ? still ongoing ?

[shy yacht]

seems to be zero moderation here

for some reason

the server blew up bc of Labs

lack of foresight

[fickle depot]

yeah cuz they are paid to fight

and they will ban ya

seen many from day 1

[twilit loom]

gays please i need help

how can i rent a server on BF1 for 180 days?

[shy yacht]

weird, nothing on google, maybe u have do it through the game

is 3 fucked or is it just 4

[marsh lichen]

What happened? I’m living under a rock

[narrow lance]

MMD, hey buddy!

What I said about paid vs free dlc is mostly a dig on how free dlc in games like Cod BO6 is just a sticker pack, occasionally they'll drop a gun but then balance it out of existence 😂

I found that paid DLC was usually of higher quality, like FONVs DLCs imo are some of the best DLCs to ever add extra content and were very "valuerific"

Hope you're doing well today folks, we gotta figure out that DDOS shit boys

I got all my BF4 DLCs from Premium edition, so I think that was really valuerific for the content provided

[tropic folio]

paid dlc packs are great until you can't play any of the maps because nobody else bought them

the amount of content we got back then was great, but that era is over and for good reason

[digital orbit]

Anyone remember bf2142

Idk how many actually paid for its expansion

But it was def a minority

[shy yacht]

yeah but they keep adding new maps and weapons for free

thats the point

in a multiplayer game u want all the actual gameplay content to be free updates

i dont remember the last time i played on a dlc map in bf4

just bc its easier to get servers running with vanilla maps

even when it was popular, u had 2 kinds of servers, dlc or vanilla and a rare few with everything

its fine for something like New Vegas, it makes sense to sell dlc

the model is outdated for multiplayer games

[tropic folio]

yep, it's just not good for the game

[shy yacht]

same reason most mp games go free to play, buy to play just wont cut it anymore unless ur games already popular, eg COD and BF

ahh well, at least 3 is still stable atm

man i miss the aftermath dlc for 3

that and close quarters were incredible

actually all the bf3 dlc was amazing

[rugged barn]

Its not that, companies want profit but at the same time thry butcher the game duw to that

Look at Multiversus and the myriad of f2p games in the sea of f2p games

[errant matrix]

Is BF4 the only game effected by ddosing

[rugged barn]

Its saturated and players are fed up with the unecessary stupidity and monetization it entails

[shy yacht]

free to play is the only way new multiplayer games survive

market is saturated

yes theres probably other factors but its an important one

[shy yacht]

3 is fine

[rugged barn]

Players are willing to pay for good products, look at Helldivers 2

It has some f2p monetization but it has no FOMO

[exotic zealot]

Can you join the pre alpha battlefield?

[rugged barn]

And you can get everything in the game after you buy it just by playing it

[tropic folio]

i think he meant more competitive shooters

helldivers is unique enough that it can afford to be pay to play

[shy yacht]

exceptional products do make it out, however helldivers is a 1-4 player coop game so at worst its always playable

[tropic folio]

most new pvp shooters that aren't f2p die after a few months

[shy yacht]

not even comp shooters, just multiplayer pvp

if u make a pvp game u want the barrier to entry to be zero at this point

[tropic folio]

concord is a recent example, even ignoring all the design problems it was never going to survive with a $40 price tag

[shy yacht]

was it really $40 lol

[tropic folio]

there are better and more well supported games that people can play without spending a cent

yeah i think so

[flat pumice]

hi guys any one can help me
[7:34 AM]
directx error

[shy yacht]

i watched gameplay footage and it looked like destiny 2 pvp, it had some ex Bungie devs w orking on it

[tropic folio]

lol this guy predicted it

[shy yacht]

they were so confident

the Secret Level episode and everything

and its not even playable anymore bc of stupid central server stuff right

[tropic folio]

f2p is pretty much the only way to go unless you have an established franchise and a big community

[tropic folio]

pretty sure they just shut everything down

[shy yacht]

people will look back at these decades in gaming and weep

absurd amounts of games renderer unplayable for no reason

imagine if books set themselves on fire bc they werent selling enough copies or went out of print

or publishers came knocking on your door to take them away from you

[rugged barn]

Because they are bad in general

[rugged barn]

Greed

[tropic folio]

cod hasn't been good for 5 years and battlefield just had one of the biggest fumbles of the decade

people play because it's what they know

ideally games would be good and not treat players like wallets that have to be emptied, but it is what it is

[rugged barn]

And the entire game and monetization you can obtain the ENTIRE GAME STORE without paying more, if im gonna pay 70 usd for a game, let me do the same and have no fuckibg fomo

[rugged barn]

And that's how we have the industry we have now

They're not making good entertainment, they're making good products

And "line must go up" mentality is what is killing everything in the industry

[tropic folio]

yep

veilguard underperformed because it didn't have enough live service elements

not because they'd have made the game better, but because they'd have made more money

[rugged barn]

While Warner has recently lost 2 live service games because they were bad
