who blocked you?

[tropic folio]

finn

[late canopy]

so, wait. What's the etiquette then? What makes someone block someone?

[tropic folio]

people are free to block whoever they want

just follow the rules and you're fine

[carmine grail]

[late canopy]

?

[finite mauve]

Someone posting bad stuff here

[late canopy]

well yeah I get that. But is this like BlueSky where people block left right and centre when they read something they don't like?

[tropic folio]

i dunno you'll have to ask the people who are blocking

[late canopy]

(just wondering what the overall temperature and vibe is, on here.)

[tropic folio]

it's chill

just be a reasonable person

i'd say most people are

BATTLEFIELD 1 SERVER ISSUES
Solution for console player (and maybe pc) Who plays on europe server, to be able to use a dlc weapon or anything you unlocked: use the quick equipment modifier (idk how it's named) But for example on playstation you use L2/R2 to quickly modifiy your loadout (you don't see your soldier, only the map) The select the weapon (primary/secondary) and a list will appear including the weapons locked previously. You are still unable to use vehicle without being disconnected however

[rose valley]

Hi guys, I crashed for the second time on my PC while playing this game. I would like some help fixing this. I have 7700x and a 7900xt. Both situations involved me charging into an object bayonet and turning the camera really fast afterwards. Also play on everything ultra

[kindred sail]

could be a few things

do you have XMP enabled?

think it's called differently on AMD

[azure bluff]

is sinai desert the only map in battlefield 1

really feels like it

[kindred sail]

check filter settings

[thorn grotto]

yo have been playing battlefield 5 for a while now, its the first battlefield game i try, which battlefield game do u think i should try next

[kindred sail]

Battlefield 1

and get the revolution edition it's on sale for 2 bucks

[thorn grotto]

oh cool

battlefield games be having many 90%+ discounts lately

[kindred sail]

they are on sale each month

[regal garden]

Battlefield 1 still pretty active on xbox?

[opaque temple]

No

[summer forge]

Honestly just get everything you don’t have. THeYrE like $16 for all on steam right now

[azure bluff]

battlefield 5 more fun than battlefield 1

[opaque temple]

How much is battlefield 5 on steam and is it worth

[random blade]

£2.24

for that price, yes

[thorn grotto]

im not really asking about which i should buy, but about which i should play

i dont wanna just download, play for 2 hours, then move to the next one

i wanna play atleast 100 hours before trying another one

[random blade]

will say it's hard for us to tell you given everyone has their own preferences. What is it you like about bfv the most

[thorn grotto]

chaos

[kindred sail]

then get ea play and try them all out

[thorn grotto]

realistic(ish)

old war

[random blade]

considering time period and player counts then 1 might be the safest bet

[kindred sail]

3.99 for a month and you can play all bf games

[random blade]

it's some nice casual fun which can be chaotic in operations modes

[thorn grotto]

nah

i hate such subscriptions

i prefer the feeling of having the game

even tho the nerds say u dont actually own it

[random blade]

yeah I get what you mean

[tight rain]

You will own nothing and be happy

[kindred sail]

you can buy after you decided

[summer forge]

Fair enough. I guess I just like having options and for $16 🤷‍♂️

[thorn grotto]

i mean, ok, i buy them all, which should i play first

[summer forge]

For campaign definitely 3 and 4. For multiplayer it’s really just 5, 1, and 2042 on PC

And 1 is mainly the dedicated sweaty try hards like 4

[pearl wolf]

Is there anyone here who knows a lot about Battlefield 1? I need help. When I aim at the enemy, my speed at which I look around slows down. It's extremely annoying. It irritates me when I quickly aim at the enemy and my movement speed suddenly slows down drastically.

[random blade]

would be down to your per zoom aim sensitivity

[chrome pecan]

i have 25 unopend packs in bf1

what do i do with em

open em?

[random blade]

could open them I guess

or you could just look at them

[chrome pecan]

ill open em

superiror battle packs

[tidal shuttle]

Aim sens

[quiet kettle]

Bf3 is 1.99 Gents time to revive the servers

Praying I can find a server

[rose valley]

Yes i do, or the equivalent of it. Runs at 6000mhz. I got a look into this to figure out what’s causing it to be unstable. May need to tune some of my frequencies for my GPU.

[chrome pecan]

how do i get more gun

bf1

[summer forge]

Spend the war bonds, it’s in game currency

[chrome pecan]

gotcha

are there any easter egg weapons in bf1

[summer forge]

I’m sure there is but it takes a lot of effort and I never dove into BF 1 like that

[chrome pecan]

ok

[heady sable]

I think there's a miniature gun that actually historically is a gun, which is kinda an easter egg?
But it's similar to other battlefield games, play with any and all weapons, master them and you'll unlock other weapons, complete assignment tasks and you'll unlock abilities, which I think was a first.

[chrome pecan]

the kolibri aint an easter egg

[heady sable]

I would consider it so, back then you wouldn't think DICE or anybody would put that into a game.

My pal and I still giggle when we see it.

Sometimes morse code from the communication panels in rush play the battlefield tune if I remember correctly.

[kindred sail]

yes there is the peacekeeper if you can't do it on your own join the BFEE discord and they will help you

[kindred sail]

which game is the issue BF 1 or V?

I had similar issues with BF V and eventually I had to increase the voltage for vccio and vccsa

or it could be CPU voltage

first thing I'd do is revert everything to stock and test

[rose valley]

Battlefield 1, I use a 7700x, with ppo on

Oh man, this is going to be annoying. Haven’t had to do this for a year plus for any game. Last game I had really big issues was starfield.

[kindred sail]

yep, I know 🙂

took me like 9 months until I figured the issue out

thought at first it's just bf v but I eventually found a post on EA HQ with a guy having the same issue

had to increase them further when 2042 came out

🧸

[kindred sail]

here's a full guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFsiH77rNig&list=PLq_giyWA-VXg63cTzUhHKnrWZ6bzOGgkV

[kindred sail]

BF games in general are quite CPU heavy so it would make sense that EXPO is pushing the memory controller hard

are you running 2 or 4 sticks?

4 usually puts more strain on the controller

the other possibility being ram being faulty so to exclude that I recommend doing a ram test

are you overclocking cpu and gpu or you just have EXPO on?

last culprit could be the PSU if it's not beefy enough and the system is using all its reserves

[rose valley]

I’m running 2 sticks, also I’m definitely overclocking those sticks with expo. I just had a play session for a couple hours and It didn’t crash until I exited the game. Just did a driver update as well as a Windows update, maybe that will help

GPU is factory setting, I stopped messing with undervolting and stuff a year plus ago

[kindred sail]

well then time to adjust voltages

[rose valley]

My 7900xt runs at 2780 mhz for the gpu

Seems like I have a slight overclock because it’s a sapphire product

[kindred sail]

well that should be fine

do you have any errors in windows event viewer?

I didn't had any, bf v would just close all of a sudden

[rose valley]

There was one, but I forgot to take a pic of it. Something about a runtime error.

[kindred sail]

I did a bit of research and apparently the VCCIO and VCCSA quivalent for AMD is the SOC voltage

[rose valley]

I see, well thanks anyway for the help. I’m going to sleep on this info and try to fix tomorrow since it’s close to 1 AM where I’m from. I appreciate the help.

[kindred sail]

2 AM here brother 😄

rest well 👍

[vapid tundra]

anyone else having trouble with launching bf1? out of all the bf games i have (4-2042) work fine except for bf1, and i've tried a whole list of things to try and fix it

[kindred sail]

does it have the popup screen and then closes?

[vapid tundra]

yes

[kindred sail]

and do you have asus game first, asus armory crate or malwarebytes installed?

[vapid tundra]

nope

[kindred sail]

you sure?

[vapid tundra]

yeah, malwarebytes i would know, and i cant see anything asus in my start menu

[kindred sail]

it's in task tray usually

don't mind me asking but the last guy who had the same issue had asus game first running

[vapid tundra]

nope, not in my tray

[kindred sail]

even razer software can cause such issues

ok

well in short there is some program on your PC that interferes with the anticheat

[vapid tundra]

im on a hand built desktop so i dont even think i have any asus

[kindred sail]

check in control panel under programs

[vapid tundra]

ive added the whole bf1 folder to my windows exceptions already too

[kindred sail]

that won't help

[vapid tundra]

programs and features? if so, check for what

[kindred sail]

yep

well asus stuff

[vapid tundra]

nothing

[kindred sail]

hm

what other programs are openr ight now in task tray

lower right corner of the screen, usually hidden and can be accessed by pressing the arrow

[jolly fog]

I would try to reinstall EAC even if its working in other games

[kindred sail]

some RGB software?

I can't find the thread on the EA forums atm but there was one where people mentioned programs that caused this issue

another option would be clean boot and see if it works

[solar nexus]

Can the next battlefield not be a live service and Instead sell DLCs like the battlefield games prior to 5?

[tepid crescent]

as long as the skins are realistic, not too colorfull or weird, as long as they make sense and match the Battlefield 3/4 theme

[solar nexus]

Battlefield 5 and 2042 were live services and got way less contents compared to bf4 and past games overtime

[tepid crescent]

slow paced game (slower than the sniper videos I've seen), a second battlefield 3 is all we need to pour our money into

2042 received a lot

but started with a ridiculous amount of weapons (4 AR, 2 LMGs ...)

[solar nexus]

Vince Zampella said the next battlefield will be like bf3/bf4. I hope the monetization is similar to bf4's without lootboxes than being similar to bf2042's live service battlepass system

[tepid crescent]

we all want the game to be a second BF3, but we gotta be reallistic. Games nowadays all follow this battle pass economy and you can bet it will be similar ... I don't think it fits Battlefield either, but it'll probably be there. All we can hope for now is reasonable content. Skins that make sense, if skins we get. No need for COD skins or animated skins. A black uniform skin is a great skin for example in a game where choices are limited and the theme is stricly set

[solar nexus]

There is news from a former battlefield dev that says EA is CODyfying battlefield

They even have former COD developers leading the next battlefield

Including the former warzone lead designer

[tepid crescent]

that would be the worst thing to do. Best to end up with the same reviews and disapointment as 2042

They litterally only have to read reviews and what people want. BF3/4 in 2025. Competing against a COD gameplay is useless. It won't be what COD players look for and it will even less be what BF players want. Let COD players have COD and let Battlefield player reunite back on a real Battlefield. It's that easy and it'd be dumb to think that high sales can be obtained through a COD/BF mix. BF fans want a real BF experience. And if it worked in the past against COD (against Black ops, MW2, MW3 ...) no reason new players wont also prefer switching to a BF that have a real BF gameplay and feel

[jolly fog]

I don't think the next BF will be anything like CoD except for BP maybe

[summer forge]

Best thing to do is remain neutral until the final trailers and the open beta come out

We can speculate and emotionally get involved all we want to no productive conclusion, but at that time we’ll know what we’re getting in to.

[tepid crescent]

yeah, crazy how many people already criticize alpha footage

[gray cypress]

Battlefield 6 😈

[summer forge]

Reality is those people having nothing better to do lol

It’s that and argue over games and skill gap 😂

[solar nexus]

Battle Royale might be coming back, as they have the warzone lead, DICE said something like they will try battle Royale again after bf5's battle Royale flopped

[tepid crescent]

are people not tired of BR ? I liked the idea of making an extraction mode in 2042

[solar nexus]

Hazard zone died on arrival

[jolly fog]

I'm not worried about it, doubt it's risky to try and the payoff of it being successful is probably huge. It would be an issue if they put too many resources that BF6 needs but I doubt they're trying to slack on BF6 (hopefully)

[summer forge]

Firestorm was never fleshed out which brought its demise. Tried Hazard Zone once and it felt meh

[solar nexus]

Unless they can pull marvel rivals, battle royale shouldn't come to battlefield again

Marvel Rivals came out of nowhere and it killed every other hero shooter, it also woke up overwatch

[summer forge]

If they’re going to do squad BR then they need to look at Apex for inspiration

And even Apex is pretty much gone

[tepid crescent]

Warzone works but its not a good idea to try to compete i think. Better focus on the main multiplayer, try something new maybe, rather than a BR that will die instantly as well

[jolly fog]

I think it's more so devs are lazy and do not put anything creative into BRs. At first you didn't need to do much because it was new but now with everyone doing them you have to be creative. And most studios suck at that

[tepid crescent]

And such game modes DO take too much resources

Just like the whole idea of implementing tornados in 2042 probably did

[jolly fog]

If it were me I would not even think about making a BR

I'm just saying I don't think there are many downsides other than some wasted money they'd make back if BF6 is a success

[solar nexus]

Battle Royale market is already too competitive the next battlefield battle Royale won't stand a chance.

I hope warzone isn't the reason why they might do another battle Royale

[tepid crescent]

it probably is, what other reason would it be

[summer forge]

Considering theres 4 studios working on 4 modes of the game 🤷‍♂️

[tepid crescent]

A whole BR game mode is less resources on the multiplayer, maps, game modes, destruction

Instead of making a big map and BR game mode, why not make smaller maps such as the close quarter ones in BF3 haha

[solar nexus]

People who want to play battlefield will play battlefield, if they wanna play call of duty they would play call of duty.

There was Xdefient, which tried to be COD, it really didn't have a selling point besides it doesn't have sbmm unlike COD, but it's almost dead now, servers will shut down very soon.

Battlefield doesn't need to be COD

[summer forge]

DICE has the single player with Motive. I believe Ripple Affect has multilayer

Criterion is doing vehicle movement

[tepid crescent]

Even making a BF3 remake would be successful and sell good

[solar nexus]

The next Battlefield game will be built by 4 studios at EA.

• DICE for multiplayer
• Criterion Games for single player/MP
• Motive for single player
• Ripple Effect for a "new experience"

Riffle effects is likely working on that rumored battle Royale

Battle Royale doesn't sound a new experience to me

[solar nexus]

But it won't make them a lot of money unlike FIFA/MADDEN

[summer forge]

Thank you for the correction

[tepid crescent]

Ofc but making a new game that takes BF3/4's roots and gameplay will

[solar nexus]

The next battlefield is likely gonna be a live service like bf2042

[gray cypress]

battlefield Labs 🤘😎

[solar nexus]

I wish they go back to DLCs like the past battlefield before 5

[summer forge]

Honestly if I can just have my campaign back I’d be really happy

[solar nexus]

Battlefield like Hardline, 4, 3, bad company 2 were monetized through dlcs

[solar nexus]

Didn't have a battle pass

[summer forge]

I’d be fine with DLC again

But I hate that 4’s DLC never went down in price

[solar nexus]

A very small campaign. They shutdown the original studio for it, motive took over the single player development after EA shutdown Ridgeline

Ridgeline was led by the HALO lead

[summer forge]

Hear what you’re saying. Just wish we could have a full campaign again. But everyone just wants their multiplayer now.

[solar nexus]

I want a campaign too but unfortunately a good campaign is a brutal expectation, bf5's campaign was mostly lackluster except for the last one

[tepid crescent]

Multiplayer has always been BF's core

[solar nexus]

Bad company 2's campaign is well liked

[tepid crescent]

Campaign gives the game a soul I feel like, I'm happy to have one as well

[solar nexus]

Battlefield 1's campaign got the game so many good reviews

[summer forge]

I played for the story from 2 through 4

Then got into the multilayer

[solar nexus]

Meanwhile battlefield 5's campaign was something else

[tepid crescent]

But at the same time this divided the community and I think they don't wanna do that now. + BP sell way more

[solar nexus]

Battlefield 2042 didn't have a single player campaign, it was sold at full $60

[tepid crescent]

Battlefield 2 had a story ?

Don't remember it

[solar nexus]

Battlefield 2 modern combat was a Single player title for ps2

[summer forge]

BF 2 for PC

Before the port over for console

[solar nexus]

DLCs were much better, because of DLCs the games got a lot of contents than today's battlefield which are live services mostly

[gray cypress]

battlefield Labs 🤘😎

[tepid crescent]

Of course, but times have changed unfortunately

[summer forge]

I’m that .00000001% who bought the reboot Medal of Honor games for the story 😂😅

[solar nexus]

If they truly wanna bring battlefield to its glory days, they should monetize the game though DLCs rather than making it a live service

[tepid crescent]

Crazy how if PUBG had never released, Battle Passes would not exist today

[solar nexus]

EA simply likes live services so the next battlefield is likely gonna be a live service anyway

I don't think Pubg is reason why games have battle passes

[summer forge]

Ironically I never had to pay for one 😂

[tepid crescent]

Cause PUBG made Fortnite create their BR, then Epic Games came up with BP

With Fortnite BR

[solar nexus]

I think DOTA 2 introduced a system similar to battle pass

[tepid crescent]

Maybe, I don't know about Dota

[solar nexus]

Pubg and Fortnite are the reason why EA made firestorm for bf5 in the first place

[summer forge]

Nah that was Blackout and Fortnite

[solar nexus]

At that time everyone was doing battle Royale

[tepid crescent]

COD had released theirs before I think

Yeah

[summer forge]

Plus Apex

[tepid crescent]

We should move on

Warzone is too far ahead, leave BR

[solar nexus]

Didn't warzone come out in 2020?

[tepid crescent]

Extraction game modes are kinda the thing now, but doesn't work with all gameplays

[summer forge]

Blackout was the BR before Warzone

[tepid crescent]

They had other BRs before with BO4/5

[solar nexus]

That's why they put out hazard zone without much thought, it really didn't innovate over the extraction shooter genre

[summer forge]

COD brought out Blackout after seeing Apex

Apex was the faster and more Serious themed competitor to Fortnite

[solar nexus]

Apex is connected to Titanfall

[summer forge]

I didn’t say Apex was connected to Fortnite

A competitor

[solar nexus]

They are making the same mistake again with battle Royale that currently might be in development?

[summer forge]

Huh?

I’m lost on What mistake (besides just being a concept)

[solar nexus]

Like chasing trends?

[solar nexus]

Blackout actually failed

[summer forge]

Well yea

Why do you think we’ve had Warzone as its replacement

[summer forge]

Pretty much. Theres players who only play BR. So most shooters want to cater to that now

I’d be surprised if Halo hadn’t already had some kinda BR

It would be really stupid but I wouldn’t be surprised

[solar nexus]

Halo had a leaked battle Royale mode which later got scrapped. There are some leaked gameplay videos of it

[summer forge]

Really? Halo stayed smart? Kinda shocking

[solar nexus]

It's something called last man standing

[summer forge]

Theres a reason why Outside of COD, BR’s are their own game

[gray arrow]

Battlefield hardline is overhated.

[tidal shuttle]

It came out too early

Bf4 was still recovering from a rushed launch

if they waited another year,. Worked on the cte sooner . Hardline would’ve fit better

[opal schooner]

Hardline was also just kinda not what a lot of players wanted, it was unique but not what people were asking for

[tidal shuttle]

or they coulda just released it as a dlc lol

[opal schooner]

It was the 3rd battlefield game with a modern setting in a row as well

[tidal shuttle]

Ya no one was feeling modern bf after 4.. didn’t help that it was rough and patchy throughout the beginning

titan fall was a nice separate thing to break away from bf every once in a while

Or rainbow

[opal schooner]

Battlefield 1 was good timing though. Cod was falling flat, it was a return to historical settings, a lot of people had time off because so many people just skipped Hardline, and it was unique enough to make it stand out as well.

[limpid prism]

is there easter egg help in this server?

[opal schooner]

I'd recommend going over to the dedicated easter egg server

[limpid prism]

BFEE?

[opal schooner]

Mhm

[limpid prism]

I went there but noticed no one was actually answering easter egg questions which didnt seem promising

[vestal spire]

it makes bf looks like fast paced shooter

[opal schooner]

BF1 also had one of the best launches of a Battlefield game in the last decade and a half

[tidal shuttle]

Bf1 and Star Wars battlefront kinda came out one after the other

[finite mauve]

Not much different in pacing from cod really

I mean look at the shit you can do in bf4

[opal schooner]

I think Hardline had a good launch idk but like I said lotta people skipped that one

[tidal shuttle]

Sorta felt the similar

[finite mauve]

Sliding on floors and stuff

Jumping all over

Bf isn't milsim or realistic really

[vestal spire]

wait, bf4 has sliding?

[finite mauve]

Glitch

[vestal spire]

i love bf1 short sliding

[tidal shuttle]

Bayonete

😎

[solid glen]

i liked PUBG, and the first year of cod warzone

[tidal shuttle]

I just used that to run away from tanks n shi

[dark trellis]

I hope to see good game balance, via vehicle and infantry

[opal schooner]

2042 honestly has a pretty good slide, not too speedy but also not too short. As long as they remove the ability to jump after I think that's the setup for a solid movement system in BF6 + with BFV movement tech like crouch sprinting and combat rolls and such

[tidal shuttle]

Just no wangsuits

😤

[solid glen]

i think i saw dolphin diving in the BF6 labs

[dark trellis]

yea, no wingsuits please

[tidal shuttle]

lady with a beanie casually flying around

[opal schooner]

I really hope the game after BF6 is a return to WW2 or even Vietnam or some historical setting, I want to see them try their hand again and I love historical Battlefield games

[tidal shuttle]

F that

[dark trellis]

also, map design - no all access to buildings, like BF1, make it only certain building and areas accessible

[solid glen]

I personally love the early 2000s setting for BF games

[tidal shuttle]

I wouldn’t mind a Vietnam era expansion

[opal schooner]

They're actually non-binary but yeah, it just really doesn't work for Battlefield, simply too much

[tidal shuttle]

Wdf

[opal schooner]

It also had some really weird physics

Like you could basically stay in the air forever

[tidal shuttle]

leave all the fancy acrobatics in apex

lol

Boots on the ground and let’s blow up some buildings lol

[opal schooner]

Yesss

[solid glen]

besides the wingsuit there isn't anything i particularly dislike about 2042s movement

[opal schooner]

I think it's a little too fast but it's not horrible

It's just missing some important features like leaning

[tidal shuttle]

Idk how modern 2042 is atm I haven’t played in since during covid but all I can tell you those bots was soo obnoxious

All huddled up in the distance

No bots in bf6 pls

[opal schooner]

It's definitely better now, they do kinda bug out sometimes though

And they sometimes have aim that is just straight up unfair

[tidal shuttle]

There’s just smth more genuine if the whole team is not ai

[opal schooner]

Most of the time it's fine tho

[dark trellis]

I stopped playing BF2042 because of the annoyance I cannot get over them, 1. the voices does not sounds like recordings, at first I thought it was someone on my team who said it 2. the devs spent time and money on recordings, but the character does not match the voice recordings, like WTF?

[tidal shuttle]

I wouldn’t mind like a test range with bots to warm up

But in official servers like … lol

[dark trellis]

yes, bug fixes, I occasionally jump on if BF1 is dead at the moment I am playing. But it is still horrible

it would've been better if they removed it

also please no santa clause skinds

I better not seeing someone in Bunny suits running around, shooting people

[tidal shuttle]

If the game is perfect no crashes lol I’d buy a charm lol but not if it comes out hella buggy

[bronze forum]

https://discord.gg/battlefield

[tidal shuttle]

Yes

Hella members

[dark trellis]

so here is my take on Beta
recent Game release require the pre-purchase to play the open-beta

so my guess is BF6 will be like that too

I remember pre-ordering BF2042 to play the open beta

[tidal shuttle]

I’ll wait to see reactions

Before all that

[dark trellis]

I'll be one of those that will pre-order because I don't play other games, BattleField is my only game

[tidal shuttle]

🫡

[open reef]

If BF6 bombs I feel like the franchise might as well be dead

[summer forge]

There were two open beta. Early one for pre orders and then a later public one

I played both

[digital orbit]

Bots are great now.

[digital orbit]

till the next game lol

[hard helm]

im having issues joining my bud in BF1 anyone know why?

[halcyon lion]

hello! just go bf1 cause its on sale and it wont open. could someone help? im on steam but when i open it i keep getting an error message. i dont have image perms so i cant send an image but it says that I cant connect the the EA servers with this account. lmk if anyone has any ideas or needs me to dm an image of the error

also lmk if there is a certain place to ask this

[wicked grail]

Do you have EA App installed as well?

[halcyon lion]

yes

[wicked grail]

Have you tried linking your Steam account to your EA account through EA

I can’t remember if it’s PSN only but I had to relink my PSN to EA since it can only be linked to 1 account and if unlinked can never be linked to that account again what I did was change email on my old EA to a spare email then relinked my “main” email back to it

[halcyon lion]

that may be the problem

i do have two EA accounts

[wicked grail]

That’s it 🙂

If you have a main email , you can swap them with each other for email priority but will not retain progression etc unfortunately

[halcyon lion]

I just found out that its cheaper on EA then on steam so im just gonna refund it on steam and get it on EA and hope that solves everything

[wicked grail]

Most likely, I do not like/use Steam myself. I always use the source

[halcyon lion]

I love steam but it really sucks when playing EA games cause they always use a different launcher

[wicked grail]

Yeah that part is a huge reason for me, everyone else makes it complicated for Steam so I just don’t bother and have them all separate

Hope it helps

[kindred sail]

A man after my own heart

[halcyon lion]

crud

its still happening when i bought it on EA

[jolly fog]

What is the error

[steady canopy]

I propose that this be the next Battlefield theme, but instead of "Death is just a heartbeat away" it's "Death is just a Battlefield away"

https://youtu.be/iH27DUIekD4?si=wYfEeXe8G9rf4pZm

[sterile jolt]

It's confirmed to be live service long before anything

[sterile jolt]

2042 slide would be useless if you couldn't chain it with jumps

Why do people cry about sliding in BF when slides were never the most broken movement tech, jump peeking, jump shotting, vouzou, rouzou all relied on jumps 🤣

[sterile jolt]

Said it generally

[tropic vortex]

Facts, it's only the 125-5 sweats who have their face glued to the screen that does that

it's really a pathetic way to play especially since most of us doesn't do that

Honestly when you find out more about them which I have they actually live a pathetic life

If they wanna be on 2042 from 8 am to 8 pm cool I'll always use that against them

[wicked grail]

Any progress ?

[sterile jolt]

125-5 sweats are using helis to farm infantry yet people cry about movement 🥶

[tropic vortex]

It's still active in NA

You gotta know how to find full servers

Apparently not

It's 6 am est I can probably find a full conquest match

Even rush xl

[native zealot]

BF1 PS EU servers have been bugged for weeks. Does anyone know if EA are aware and working on a fix?

[raven pier]

Doubt it, they havent fixed a lot of other bugs that has been bugged for years.

Also it would be DICE, but they're busy with something else

[random blade]

Working on something I guess, no idea what though

[raven pier]

Every dev studio has a secret project they're working on obviously...

[random blade]

Dice been real quiet since 3 days ago

[slim wing]

Not to mention, the majority of dev companies prioritize stability of NA servers because we have the most idiotic people that are eager to waste money they don't have

[tribal nacelle]

Is BF1 still alive, thinking of buying

[slim wing]

It's the most active battlefield

[tribal nacelle]

Doubt it considering 2042, wym

[slim wing]

Sorry, the most active good battlefield

[raven pier]

Bf1 has dedicated servers

2042 doesn't.

[slim wing]

2042 doesn't have a lot of things

[raven pier]

It lacks all the legacy features

[slim wing]

Common sense, stable progression, dedicated servers, a logical playerbase

[tribal nacelle]

How alive is it, and what are dedicated servers

[slim wing]

I play it once a day and see over 600 people on servers with slots open

Consistently populated enough to find a game if you wait 5-10 mins

[random blade]

It’s ’almost 30 full servers on all maps at 2pm on a Saturday’ Alive

[slim wing]

That's dead, stop lying

I'm usually on around 5-6 in the morning and it isn't that dead

[raven pier]

That's an early time to game

[slim wing]

Late for me

I sleep 10-18

[raven pier]

Ah... Upside down then

I used to sleep like that around 10 years ago

[slim wing]

I'm a part of the population that would be assigned night watch if we went back to the tribal era

[slim wing]

This is how I've been since I started online school, way better for my mental and physical health

[raven pier]

Didn't known online school was an option although in North America it's probably safer

[slim wing]

... it was because of covid

And mental illness

[raven pier]

At least Covid isn't that big of a deal anymore

[slim wing]

Schools are safe in the US, you do realize that there are like a hundred thousand across the country, right?

Less than a tenth of a percent have been shot up

Same thing with houses, we gonna say they're unsafe now?

[raven pier]

Still... EU doesn't even have to think of those issues, it's unsafe if you compare it with us

[slim wing]

No, y'all are unsafe compared to us

[random blade]

That early?

[slim wing]

At least we aren't being shanked on our lunch break 😭

[raven pier]

That doesn't happen here lol

[slim wing]

Yeah. If you read a few more messages, you'll understand why.

[slim wing]

It does in Germany, Romania, and Greece

Source: three of my friends were stab victims

[raven pier]

Ah that part of EU.

[slim wing]

Still part of the EU

[random blade]

You find it better to work overnight?

[raven pier]

Romania doesn't have it's shit together though

[raven pier]

Well no shit, we have problem nations due to other problems they let in, and Sweden is basically turning into US

[slim wing]

About 10% of the population is coded with a circadian rythym that prefers a night-day cycle, left over from when we were cavemen and had to watch for sabers eating our asses

[random blade]

Well if it works, it works

[raven pier]

Just get sufficient vitamin D

Sunlight is important

[slim wing]

It's literally required for a society to function

[finite idol]

Is there a game that is really not boring?

[slim wing]

Not really

[slim wing]

Skyrim, Fallout, Sims

[finite idol]

Sims 💀

[raven pier]

Cyberpunk is fun 😛

[slim wing]

Sims is literally the only thing that EA has done right

[raven pier]

And also stalker2

[random blade]

There are a few, you’ve got lots of games out there to choose from

[slim wing]

You take that dirty language somewhere else

[finite idol]

All cost money bruh

[slim wing]

Sims is free

[finite idol]

I want to play a free game that is fun

[raven pier]

But it is fun

[finite idol]

Aw hell nah

[slim wing]

Enjoy being bored :)

[raven pier]

Hmm Marvel Rivals

[random blade]

We need a bit more context behind what you enjoy

[slim wing]

Ew okay wtf

[finite idol]

I'd rather be bored than playing sims 💀

[raven pier]

It's chaotic but fun

[slim wing]

Ugh

I'd rather stab my eyes out with a rusty spoon

[raven pier]

Same.

[random blade]

You’ve got a lot of the big name shooters that are free, if you like those

Other than that there’s not much you can get for nothing

[finite idol]

How can someone play sims

[slim wing]

I'm sure your girlfriend says the same about you

[finite idol]

lol

[slim wing]

Easily

[raven pier]

You can play Delta Force... It's free but also feels more like a sterile version of the already sterile 2042 xD

[finite idol]

🤓

[raven pier]

There's steam sales if you're bored

[slim wing]

Could also get gamepass

Over 200 games for you to rotate between while you ponder your self-hatred

[raven pier]

That little?

On steam I have 1000 games xD

Played only 52% of it

[random blade]

Yeah steam sale is active now, boat loads of games there

[raven pier]

But yet again my steam account is older than most of u

[slim wing]

For $20/month, yeah. I had it for four years and it was still cheaper than all the games I played.

[finite idol]

How old is you?

[slim wing]

(Are)

[raven pier]

Mid 30s

[finite idol]

I know, but "is" can also be used.

[tribal nacelle]

Hey, we have domestic terrorists and europes biggest drug trade with mutliple citys ranked above bahgdad in danger, but no fast food, dont try

[slim wing]

No, it can't. They're not synonyms.

[finite idol]

I mix them, sometimes i say are sometimes is.

[raven pier]

Correct English grammar is "How old are you"

[finite idol]

Didn't wanted to use grammar at that moment.

[slim wing]

You say it, not anyone that actually knows English

[raven pier]

Then don't speak English xD

[slim wing]

It literally took you more time to use incorrect grammar

[raven pier]

Some people are just....smh

[slim wing]

Fr dude

I wasn't even being an ass about correcting him, but I kinda want to be now

[finite idol]

Why is that?

[slim wing]

Ignorance is a very unattractive quality

[finite idol]

I was at the toilet.

Believe it or not.

[raven pier]

That's not a valid excuse

[slim wing]

Using your phone? Ewwww

[finite idol]

.

[slim wing]

Piss particles on your phone? 🤢

[finite idol]

Im on PC.

[raven pier]

You can go to the toilet without using your phone right? XD

[finite idol]

I don't go to the toilet with my phone. Im not that addicted.

[slim wing]

I'm

[slim wing]

I'm

[finite idol]

Bro

[slim wing]

Also that should've been a comma, not a period

[raven pier]

Bringing a laptop to the toilet seems like a neat idea xD

[finite idol]

I am lazy to type that

[tough plover]

Hallo, Magyarok vannak? I searching hungarian teammates.

[finite idol]

Naw

[raven pier]

Not a good excuse, do it right instead.

[slim wing]

#lfg-pc

[slim wing]

Imagine learning a language only to speak it incorrectly on purpose

[finite idol]

Why not?

[slim wing]

Because that's moronic

[finite idol]

So half of the americans are morons?

[slim wing]

Yeah

[finite idol]

lol

[slim wing]

I regularly tell people to install Grammarly

As well as yelling at the idiotic British people that don't know how to use adjectives.

[finite idol]

1 question

Just curiosity.

You there?

[slim wing]

I'll respond when you can construct a grammatically correct sentence.

[finite idol]

So as i can see, on your name it says: they/them.

So what exactly is that?

I know it's about gender.

So i think, i didn't use grammar correctly.

[random blade]

A pronoun

[finite idol]

And what exactly is that?

[finite idol]

Maybe he went to the tailet.

Wait a second

So can i call this person he?

[slim wing]

No

They

[random blade]

They’d rather not

Hence it existing in the username

[slim wing]

Not "rather"

I do not use he/him pronouns

Ever

[finite idol]

How many genders are there?

Here it comes.

[random blade]

Here what comes?

[finite idol]

?

[random blade]

‘Your team is being reinforced with an armoured train’

[finite idol]

Just curious

Go fuck yourself :)

[finite idol]

Why?

[slim wing]

Read the article and shut the fuck up

[finite idol]

I didn't even say anything bruh

Why are you mad?

[slim wing]

Because you're literally baiting

[random blade]

We can see what you’re doing here, stop being an ass

[slim wing]

I'm not gonna do it

So either inform yourself or shut the fuck up

[finite idol]

I already know the answer.

But from my vision.

[slim wing]

You really don't

[slim wing]

You must be blind

[raven pier]

When I get the train, I just keep the horn pressed, sometimes it keeps honking even after blowing up xD

[finite idol]

💀

[slim wing]

Now again, read the article and shut up.

[finite idol]

I don't need to.

[random blade]

Wish someone would make a mod that turned it into Thomas

[finite idol]

I already know the answer

[random blade]

Seeing Thomas wrecking havoc on Sinai would be wild

[raven pier]

Doubt

[slim wing]

The article is a good read if you wanna give it a look, very interesting.

[raven pier]

I wish modding was a thing with BF... Well it was from 1942-2142

[raven pier]

I already know about that though

[slim wing]

It talks about stuff that even I, a trans person, didn't know, so I doubt that.

[raven pier]

I dated one, so... And I researched a lot of things... for my ex

[slim wing]

Yeah, you aren't one though

And this article uses new as fuck info

[raven pier]

Nope, that I know

[slim wing]

Like just verified research papers

[raven pier]

Male. 100%

[finite idol]

Okay.

[slim wing]

(Male is not a gender)

[finite idol]

💀

Aw hell nah, this guy...

[slim wing]

Male is a sex

[raven pier]

It's the simplest answer

[slim wing]

Man is a gender

[slim wing]

He asked for gender, how is an incorrect answer simpler? /lh

[raven pier]

Ok man then xD

[tropic folio]

why do you come into a battlefield discord and ask shit like this

bait somewhere else

[buoyant ice]

TURKIYE mentioned 🐺 🐺

[finite idol]

Why not?

[slim wing]

Or just be somewhere else

[raven pier]

Was wondering the same xD

[raven pier]

Oh God.

[tropic folio]

because you're clearly being provocative

[slim wing]

To make trans people as uncomfortable as possible

[finite idol]

You are trans?

[slim wing]

No shit

[finite idol]

Ohh

[random blade]

[raven pier]

He'll just say "why not" to every question though

[finite idol]

Why not say why not?

[raven pier]

You see... XD

[tropic folio]

why not go find a better hobby

[slim wing]

Because that's evading the question

That's the shit that republicans do

And like 🤢

[raven pier]

Yep...honestly I have no clue why they still exist

[finite idol]

Ill hop out

[slim wing]

Nobody cares ngl

[tropic folio]

won't be missed

[finite idol]

Didn't ask yall to miss me

[buoyant ice]

You’ll be missed

[slim wing]

Stop lying

[finite idol]

Please don't miss me😭

[velvet verge]

Does anyone know how to unlock jets in rule editor under portal

[raven pier]

Don't be like that, and don't revive the topic, it won't get you anywhere

[tropic folio]

it's good that they're so open because at least it means they get banned sooner

[fringe pewter]

Male

What 😂

[raven pier]

True

[tropic folio]

so will we

[summer forge]

He doesn’t understand the internet yet

Some never do

[modest osprey]

how to play join battlefield beta

[summer forge]

It’s not beta yet

No where close

[modest osprey]

i mean be a play tester

[summer forge]

If you mean Labs, they’ll contact you by email

[modest osprey]

no signup?

[summer forge]

Did you register at the site?

[modest osprey]

no

but i will do that thx

[summer forge]

Yep

[raven pier]

Good luck!

tyy furry man

[uncut ice]

hiya! not sure if this is the right place, but me and my friends are trying to play a game of Firestorm, anyone up for it? or does anyone know where i have to be to find a match?

[raven pier]

Isn't firestorm dead?

[tropic folio]

yes

[uncut ice]

well... kinda... but ppl are still trying to get into a game

[raven pier]

It died asap from release xD

[uncut ice]

i know... but still...

[raven pier]

Kinda like hazard zone

I had one game on firestorm I remember

Ages ago

[uncut ice]

well i just found a few solo lobbies today and yesterday, but finding a squad game seems to be a pain in the bottom

also, it seems like ppl are playing planned firestorm games, or at least trying, so i was actually looking for the place to gather

actually just found a squad lobby 😮

[viscid iris]

anyone got labs acces?

[tropic folio]

if they do they can't say

[summer forge]

Reading comprehension is a failed concept now days

[raven pier]

L?

[summer forge]

It’s so true though

[summer forge]

Called you a loser

[raven pier]

Yep.... Sadly

[raven pier]

Seems ironic

[summer forge]

I was mildly amused

[raven pier]

Don't forget to add fish to your rice

[viscid iris]

its allready leaked

i wonder when we get all testet

[raven pier]

Just wait and see like everyone

[summer forge]

Best part is, their kind always have something to add

[raven pier]

For some reason they like to be toxic

[timid bane]

It may have been leaked but the playtest is still under NDA and the people involved are not supposed to talk about it. Also this discord channel has #rules

[summer forge]

It’s the internet 🤷‍♂️

[raven pier]

3k hours rip xD

I wish I had that much free time on a game

[summer forge]

He thought this was a flex

[raven pier]

Only played 350 hours ish, it gets repetitive and boring so come back to it from time to time

Planes at least are flyable on bfv, unlike 2042 xD

[summer forge]

Or you just want attention for being trash at the game

[timid bane]

I'm really excited about the possibility of destruction making a return to form. It changes the map in real-time (in a fun way) and provides a balance to great snipers perched in a building full of windows. Not to mention the old BFs with destruction had incredible sound design that also changed in real-time due to destruction. Opinions?

[uncut ice]

well that was a very fun game of squads firestorm. only 3 squads tho.. would be fun if more would join matchmaking rn!

[stray skiff]

Hello, is somebody here part of BF LABS and playtester of the new battlefield? I would want some advice how to get in. I have played BF4 beta and BF hardline beta.

[uncut ice]

LFM squads in bf5 firestorm rn!

[timid bane]

The people selected to playtest aren't allowed to speak about it unfortunately, but if you have signed up for BF Labs that's all you need to do....then wait for an email.

There were tons that signed up and no one is guaranteed in. Good Luck!

[stray skiff]

Oh okay, because i have been actively playing consistently all battlefields since BF3 and wondering what kind of steroids must have those that got in.

[tropic folio]

it's not based on hours played

they're getting a variety of players

[raven pier]

People aren't allowed to say if they're in it because of NDA, cant you read?

[raven pier]

It's logical though they want all sorts of feedbacks from old and new

But people here are far from logical

[tropic folio]

yeah it makes a lot of sense

some people think they should only get vets with nostalgia blindness lmao

[fringe pewter]

they need to invite me

[raven pier]

Then it's biased opinions

You don't know game dev

[tropic folio]

"yeah but it's a good bias!!"

[fringe pewter]

I can give the perfect feedback

[raven pier]

In the game dev world all opinions are valid as a feedback

[tropic folio]

every day i thank the sun that battlefield fans aren't developing battlefield

[raven pier]

Nope.

That won't be a logical approach

[fringe pewter]

Some battlefield fans are competent tho

[tropic folio]

ah yeah let's get the top 1% of our playerbase to test the next game

you will have a game that caters to top tier players

[raven pier]

All sorts of metrics is valid for devs. A new customer is just as good as the old customer. They provide new insights

[tropic folio]

do you actually not see the problem

[tropic folio]

some

[timid bane]

competancy isn't the issue with only taking feedback from the hardcore players

[rugged barn]

The thing is that they should focus on VETERANS

[fringe pewter]

Let’s pray they don’t listen to COD/Milsim players

[rugged barn]

not on competitive players

[raven pier]

Most players don't even know how to bug test or look at other details

[rugged barn]

battlefield was not a competitive game in the first place

[raven pier]

Those opinions are valid too, a lot of milsim players came from BF games in the past. I'm one of them

BF2 practically made Squad

[tropic folio]

they need to listen to everyone, then they can start thinking about what would and wouldn't suit the game

[timid bane]

If you were trying to create a game that appealed to a wide audience, why would you only listen to the smallest percentage of the player base at launch? And just because the game is being tested by a general audience, doesn't necessarily mean that veterans of the series aren't being heard.

[fringe pewter]

No they are not 😭

[raven pier]

Cry all u want

Devs like a wider variety of feedbacks

Then they make a more suited game

I'm glad most gamers don't become devs xD

[fringe pewter]

If you want play Squad Or ARMA then go ahead and play it 😭

[tribal stirrup]

who cares about the veterans

they want to make money

[timid bane]

I mean I care about them. I'm one of them lol

[tropic folio]

people really think the way to make a good game is to listen to only one group of people

[raven pier]

I do, I play all sorts of games unlike some of you xD

[tropic folio]

i've seen battlefield veterans suggest bleeding mechanics, they can have awful ideas too

but according to some people here they should be prioritised, or better yet, the only ones

[timid bane]

I also see the benefit in listening to feedback from as many people as they can that might have a different perspective

[fringe pewter]

I have a question do you think battlefield should be a milsim?

[raven pier]

No, but it can benefit with some of the features simplified

[halcyon lion]

bf1 servers arent down right?

[raven pier]

But I wish BF had modding support like BF2. That's how squad started up from project reality

[fringe pewter]

Features like what?

[raven pier]

Modding creates possibilities of new games

[raven pier]

Better radio system, lock Vehicle to squad for example because of idiots and proximity chat

And more things that support teamwork more than those lonewolfs

[devout monolith]

Almost 30k playing on steam

[halcyon lion]

darn

[rugged barn]

Its better to follow milsim players in the animations, gear and sound not for movement

[devout monolith]

And like 25k on btf5

[raven pier]

Movement is clunky in milsim though

[fringe pewter]

[raven pier]

For a reason

[devout monolith]

And then you have btf2042 with 9k players

[rugged barn]

look at BF2042

[rugged barn]

Battlebit has it and it slows the game down, its wouldnt fit in Battlefield

[tropic folio]

my point exactly

[devout monolith]

Between btf1 and btf5 witch one should i buy? I played more btf5 but i heard btf1 is better

[rugged barn]

that's why i didnt say about movement, and for that we have other and better options, but NO OMNIMOVEMENT BS

[tropic folio]

bf1 is only better for immersion, and bfv usually is more active

[raven pier]

Sniping there is satisfying at least

[uncut ice]

plz! ppl this is fun. but we need more players. queue up on firestorm squads now!!!

[fringe pewter]

Battlefield is an arcadey shooter, you’re gonna see people ejecting from planes with an rpg to shoot down another plane.

[tropic folio]

that doesn't mean they can't improve teamwork

[timid bane]

both! 😁

[tropic folio]

teamwork is honestly fucking awful in battlefield, most of the time you're only interacting with teammates for ammo, health, or transport

[raven pier]

Ye but teamwork is what makes the match win

[tropic folio]

and in bf6 that'll be even more dumbed down with health and ammo in one gadget

[raven pier]

Although I've done that in squad and Arma as well just isn't as fluid xD

[timid bane]

Bring back commander mode!

[raven pier]

Ah yes dropping supply boxes on friends was fun, I missed that

[fringe pewter]

It’s need to be like BF4 commander mode

[raven pier]

It was a mode from BF2 though

A very much legacy feature

[sterile jolt]

It's not better tbh

[rugged barn]

taht's why imo one more class should be added -> Medic

[digital orbit]

Bleeding mechanics sounds cool, they added that in Ghost Recon

But BF is too arcade for that

[random ruin]

no man

Im trying to play BF4 rn

And vehicles are fucking everywhere

[digital orbit]

get your AT going then

[fringe pewter]

Yea but BF4’s was way better

[random ruin]

So helpful.

[dire current]

4 class system is the best setup and that is all that’s needed. Medic, engineer, support, recon

[raven pier]

Eh not really comparable anymore

BF2 was from the golden age of DICE

Where the founder of DICE is still around

He's long gone

[fringe pewter]

Facts

[rugged barn]

That i dont agree with, they would need to move healing to other class, it doesnt make sense for ONE class to have both healing and ammo

[fringe pewter]

Support is literally medic in BF6

[rugged barn]

Yes, but doesnt make sense and would be too broken to have both in one

[fringe pewter]

BC2 did it extremely well

[tropic folio]

it just simplifies the teamwork

[royal oak]

how do you get ammo or health off them

[rugged barn]

yes, but its way too broken for that

[tropic folio]

yeah my point is it's not a good thing

[rugged barn]

probably just stay in the vicinity

[royal oak]

hmm

[tropic folio]

if medic is support, why don't we also make recon an engineer, or assault

[royal oak]

it works, but, is the support guy really doing their job, or just showing up lol

[tropic folio]

it's just an unnecessary dumbing down of the game

it also means medic/support can heal and supply itself

so they don't even need to move at all

[fringe pewter]

Assault is the most useless class ever

[waxen loom]

do assault have AT weapons

[tropic folio]

assault feels like an offshoot of engineer

without medic gadgets that's basically all it is

[royal oak]

but then who repairs the tank

[fringe pewter]

That’s why support should be combined as medic/support, it’s the backbone of a squad in BF.

[tropic folio]

engineer

tbh we could do without assault

engineer, support, recon

if they're already merging medic with support there's not really anything wrong with this

[royal oak]

can everyone still revive each other

[random ruin]

What class gets the anti-infantry stuff then

Engi?

[tropic folio]

yeah i guess

assault has what, grenade launchers?

[random ruin]

Best case scenario we either get archetypes, which I heard were good? Or we get 5 classes, + medic

[tropic folio]

hoping for classes

but i guess we'll see as time goes by

[late canopy]

would be nice.

[random ruin]

I'm sure plenty of people gave their feedback on the support situation

[late canopy]

anything except heroes.

[gray cypress]

BF6?

[wispy zephyr]

i wanna see what a bf would look like without a healer class

[hazy locust]

Hey , Did you receive an invitation for the next playtest, and when is it?"

[teal fractal]

Can anyone suggest heavier mice? Like g502 tier ones

My mouse keeps disconnecting and reconnecting lol

[finite mauve]

Yeah I wonder if the new battlefield has classes...😶

[sterile jolt]

Honestly I like BF6 system, SMG/AR medics are just better assaults than assault

[finite mauve]

Not too much of a difference, this is battlefield we are talking about and not much people revive.

[tropic folio]

you'll get all of this information in an email, it'd under nda

[finite mauve]

Dms

[tropic folio]

you're also not supposed to say you were part of a playtest

[hazy locust]

Ah ok

Didn’t know

[sterile jolt]

You can say that

[hazy locust]

Thanks

[finite mauve]

Look at dms

[sterile jolt]

You can't say what you tested though

[tropic folio]

not if you specify what game it was for

[fringe pewter]

It doesn’t even matter it’s leaked anyway

[finite mauve]

I tested minecraft 3

[tropic folio]

it does if you're the one breaking nda

they'll just ban your account and you won't playtest anything ever again

[fringe pewter]

People are gonna leak gameplay footage for the next playtest 😭 they should honestly just make the playtest open for everyone ngl

[finite mauve]

Yeah lol

[wispy zephyr]

it's a marketing move, that's why they stopped issuing takedowns for it

[fringe pewter]

Exactly they saw the positive reception and was like “holy shit people actually liked it”

[wispy zephyr]

it would look kinda like 2042 in the sense that you would have to give everyone a pocket medpen or some other way to be responsible for their own hp

dunno, i'm just thinking about runescape raids and how they get away with no designated healers

it would get rid of a whole category of useless people who spam revives and med boxes to run up their score

[rugged barn]

wrong, it should be separated, they made medic/assault in one in BF3 and BF4 and it was the most broken class

[fringe pewter]

one class shouldn’t have both self-healing and high damage. Instead, Medic should be combined with Support, making healing and resupply a true support role.

[wispy zephyr]

sniper classes also have an issue of undeserved high damage output

[rugged barn]

LMG's are also high damage

[fringe pewter]

Agreed sniper classes always had an issue of excessive damage, making them effective at all types of ranges, the next BF needs to balance recon by it being about intel and long range support.

[rugged barn]

LMG, assault rifles shouldnt be on the same classes as the ones that gives health

SMG's and battle Rifles however are fine imo

[earnest frost]

So would you be fine with AR classes having the repair tool?

[wispy zephyr]

what does "intel and long range support" mean? casper drone and spot flares have been broken OP in every iteration, and long range support like... what, if not damage?

[fringe pewter]

Disagree. Spotting tools like Casper’s drone and flares are strong, but they serve an important role in team play. The issue isn’t spotting itself but how it’s balanced—adjusting uptime, range, and counters would be better than outright nerfing or removing them.

[fringe pewter]

Exactly, weapon locked classes are essential to what made battlefield fucking battlefield.

[wispy zephyr]

the whole design is rotten because spot flares and casper drone are zero risk, you have to throw them out

[rugged barn]

carbines or smg's, yeah

[rugged barn]

or just maintain BF5's spotting method, dont mark em on the minimap like BF3 and BF4, the game will become (again) a dorito hunt

[wispy zephyr]

if they give ANY amount of information, it's too much

[sterile jolt]

SMG medics are more broken tbh

[sterile jolt]

Issue is in 3D spotting

[rugged barn]

that is why i'd love for Medics to have SMG's and/or Battle Rifles

[rugged barn]

assault rifles ain medics are way more imo

[sterile jolt]

That’s why they should have LMGs

[wispy zephyr]

the last two games had extreme player visibility issues so i don't think 3d spotting is going anywhere

[sterile jolt]

2042 is fine now with the lights

V was fine after they gave glow to player models

[waxen loom]

medic with SMGs more like assault than real assault

[sterile jolt]

Yeah

[wispy zephyr]

5 was not fine even with rim lighting lmao

[waxen loom]

leave everyone behind then jump into trench kill every enemies with his SMG

[fierce aurora]

[oak spire]

My bf1 keeps crashing
What do I do?

[wispy zephyr]

thank the lord for saving you from playing bf1 a decade late

[raven pier]

Still a fun game tho

[oak spire]

Do people actually play hardline?

[wispy zephyr]

not hardline, no

[oak spire]

It seems like a dead game

But there are still full servers

[wispy zephyr]

you can find people all the way back to bf4 and even bf3 if you're in europe

[oak spire]

Nah

Bf4 only has like 1 active server

[pulsar verge]

Someone wanna Farm XP on Battlefield 5

[jolly fog]

BF4 still pretty active on PC

BF3 kinda dead tho sadly, wish it was at least at 1k

[oak spire]

Is bf3 worth getting?

[jolly fog]

I'd get it for the campaign itself

It's on sale on PC not sure about PS

[oak spire]

Do I buy bfv or bf3?

[jolly fog]

BFV still super active so I'd say that if you want MP

I play BFV on Xbox too

[oak spire]

k

Thanks

[kindred sail]

crashing as in you see the loading splash screen and then it closes?

[oak spire]

Yes

[kindred sail]

well in short you got a program that interferes with the anticheat

[jolly fog]

When it was doing that to me, I reinstalled EAC and it fixed it

[oak spire]

I am on console

What could it be?

[kindred sail]

ahhhh 😄

[jolly fog]

[kindred sail]

so bf 3 is not on sale anymore on console

[jolly fog]

I'm guessing you already verified files

[oak spire]

Who wants to form a team?

I'm so disappointed with EA just ignoring bugs all the time. Sometimes it's even just some minor but still annoying thing. I just bought "Battlefield 1 Revolution" edition and it's displayed as "Standard". I have the same problem with "Battlefield 4". Other Battlefields are displayed correctly. Mailed them like 10 times and they've never resolved this issue. Same thing with Battlefields forcing that poor quality audio mode when using Bluetooth headphones. I'm so tired of this...

[raven pier]

that's EA, only after people's wallets

[visual widget]

But come on, it's like max one day job for one developer to spot this bug, fix and test it. I could do that for free...

[raven pier]

bug fixing aint that simple though, u fix one bug, but 99 new bugs popup

that's part of all software

besides the old games arent their priority anymore

at this point u can a bug, a feature, that is with EA xD

[visual widget]

But come on xD I have to disable the hands free drivers for all of my Bluetooth headsets when playing BF2042 which is from 2021! After driver's update I have to do it again in Windows. So what now? Game support is maybe just a few years top and still not fixing all the common issues? This is so crazy. Valve is fixing Team Fortress 2 bugs after 18 years still!

[raven pier]

I got an easier solution for u... use analog audio

it always works

and sounds better

there's no latency

I say the same thing to people who uses Wifi instead of ethernet

Wired is unbeatable 😛

[visual widget]

I know, I know. I'm walking away from the desk frequently and cable is annoying. I could use some headphones with some proprietary low latency 2.4GHz link but I need the best ANC which is only available in Sony or Bose. Sony's ANC works with cable too AFAIK. I could make it work wirelessly with some non-Bluetooth transmitter+receiver kit - USB dongle showing as a normal sound card and the battery powered receiver connected via a short 3.5mm cable.

[raven pier]

get a longer cables then 😛

but u can use a cable on the ANC headphones, I know my Sonys do

you could also just get a gaming wireless headphones, then there wont be that much problems in game... my friends dont have that issue

Sony's ANC headphones arent really made for gaming hence why it connects to low quality voice mode probably, it assumes u want to use it's terrible mics on it

[slow ibex]

i thought battlefield 1 had a now integrated anticheat, why are the dice servers the most cheater-infested and why does no admin care? how am i ever supposed to buy anything from dice again if they just lie everywhere?

[raven pier]

that's an issue with most AC, cheaters find other ways

there's always ways around things within hacking, new loopholes to be used and so on... most of the cheaters get banned manually by the dedicated server admin... and not EA

[slow ibex]

private servers also manage to ban cheaters why not dice

[raven pier]

too much work, and they have other priorties.... EA is supposed to handle the server end of things and accounts

DICE doesnt do accounts

[visual widget]

I'm using Sony WH-1000XM5 + Antlion Modmic Wireless for best mic quality and as a workaround to BF switching to that low quality hands free mode.

[raven pier]

AFAIK about the low quality mode, its more of a Windows issue than it is the game's issue

because on windows u can just disable the other AG Handset mode

go in on "Sounds" in windows and disable everything you dont need

all u need is your mic input and default output

[slow ibex]

if only they would do that, even the support is useless and i can't play the dlc of bad company 2 even though i own it. you really shouldn't buy anything from them anymore 🤬

[raven pier]

that sounds like classic Swedish customer support... which barely exists nor is it efficient xD

[raven pier]

Im surprised people still play it

its a really old game

[slow ibex]

and always better then 5 and 2045 haha

[raven pier]

and EA / DICE tend to focus everything on recent projects or future projects... past projects is forgotten mostly

[visual widget]

The better way to have wireless non-Bluetooth low latency would be something like this attached to Sonys:
https://www.sennheiser-hearing.com/en-US/p/flex-5000/

[raven pier]

BF2 was even better, that's before BC2

[raven pier]

Sennheiser makes good pro-audio stuff

[slow ibex]

unfortunately i only know bad company 2, hardline, 3,4 and my beloved 1

[raven pier]

the golden days of DICE was BF1942 + 3 Expansion packs, BF Vietnam, BF2 and BF2142

those are all early 2000s games

before the times of Frostbite Engine anyway, so not really comparable

I miss the modding support the old engine had

[jolly fog]

BF2 looks great but I think most BF prior to BFV were the golden days

They're each quite good in their own right

[copper haven]

giv labs

[stark wyvern]

who all is playing some BF 1

[dark trellis]

me
I've been playing BF1

[stark wyvern]

man i think it is way better than 2042

[mental wedge]

Every battlefield better than 2042

[tidal shuttle]

we don’t talk about 2042

[stark wyvern]

i wish the servers were full in bf1 though

[tidal shuttle]

Gaslight ourselves it didn’t exist

[late canopy]

2042 is great now.

[tropic folio]

great is a powerful word

[late canopy]

ok, "nice".

I agree.

[mental wedge]

Still wrong choice of word

[tidal shuttle]

probably now it’s fine but I’m assuming all dice is focusing on is bf6 now

[late canopy]

It is def. nicer niw.

"now"

[dark trellis]

I wouldn't say BF2042 is great

[stark wyvern]

my point is i wish that the servers had more people in bf1

[dark trellis]

it is somewhat okay

[mental wedge]

2042 is nicer now than release but still every battlefield prior is better

[late canopy]

indeed.

[late canopy]

fully agree.

"BF2042 is now pleasantly playable. And it was utterly unplayable at launch."

[mental wedge]

There we go! Perfect 👌

[late canopy]

I suppose we could agree on that?

[stark wyvern]

i dont believe that it says that there is more players in bf1 but the servers are empty

[late canopy]

depends on geographical area?

[stark wyvern]

does na just have a peak hour in the evening

[mental wedge]

Bf1 now is mainly eu

[visual widget]

Just bought BF1 and can't change language to English. EA is so not caring about customers.

[jolly fog]

Battlefield: AI42

[late canopy]

yeah, true that, unfort.

"Waiting for players to join..."

[fringe pewter]

2042 will be forever known as an POS
