[late canopy]

segue 5 mins in lobby.

[jolly fog]

I won't buy the next BF if it has AI unless it's custom servers only

[tropic folio]

idk why people think like this

[late canopy]

I don't mind AI if they’re actually aggressive.

[stark wyvern]

ok so there is a bit of people in na that plays just takes a bit to populate server

[mental wedge]

Hopefully there won't be ai

[fringe pewter]

If the game dies at launch then you know it would

[tropic folio]

you know what happened before we had ai? you sat in servers waiting for enough players to start the game

[stark wyvern]

im doing that right now

[tropic folio]

with ai it starts straight away and backfills in a minute or two

[jolly fog]

The hope is that the game is good enough for that not to happen

I never have that issue in BF1

[tropic folio]

yeah well no matter how good a game is it's always going to struggle with players eventually

people hate on ai as if it's a bad thing

when it's only a positive

[mental wedge]

Ai is bad in the sense most time there no challenge in it

[late canopy]

it's too easy to kill.

[fringe pewter]

That’s not true

[late canopy]

exactly.

[tropic folio]

yeah this is a problem in a pve mode, not a pvp mode where ai is just waiting for a player to take its place

[bronze portal]

They play like the average battlefield players though, so i see no difference

[stark wyvern]

ai is meant to get games going quicker

[jolly fog]

It's not a bad thing entirely but I played 5 matches last night and like 3 were over half AI the entire time, why even play at that point. I'd rather wait for a real lobby but that's just me

[tropic folio]

idk what mental gymnastics you can do to even begin to argue against that lmao, every game eventually suffers from not having enough players

[jolly fog]

If it was like 5 on each team then no biggie

[bronze portal]

Or having a server browser would be alright but we know thats really unlikely

[mental wedge]

Even in pvp they can be that way but the likely hood of an ai pushing you during a reload. Putting down suppressive fire so you can't get out of cover it doesn't happen enough to make it a challenge worth fighting

[tropic folio]

it's either that or the game never starts in the first place. You're free to leave and look for another

[bronze portal]

I hope they didnt look at delta force and implement some shady sbmm garbage

[dark trellis]

the reason I don't like AI, is because the game is made to play against other players, putting AI destroys the experience

[jolly fog]

Yeah I'd rather just not have to do that, but it's just my opinion and if one likes them then that's totally fine

[fringe pewter]

If a game sells well and people like the game it’s going to retain players.

[bronze portal]

Im free to leave and look for another? You mean get matched into the same fucking server or join a 1/64 lobby

[tropic folio]

like i said, this isn't really an argument because ai is just meant to fill slots until players join. If you're having to fight that much ai then removing them isn't a solution either, because then you just wouldn't start the match due to low player count

[jolly fog]

Deadass tho, this happens often. I leave and join the same one I just left

[bronze portal]

None of this would be an issue if server browser is a thing

[tropic folio]

and 10 years down the line when people have all moved on it's going to struggle with players

[bronze portal]

And if AIs correctly were replaced with players

I wouldnt be playing a half bot lobby for a full round of conquest

[tropic folio]

yeah that's my entire point lmao, either we have ai and you deal with it until players fill the server, or you get placed into a 1/64 and the match doesn't start in the first place

[jolly fog]

Like I said if it were in custom servers only it'd be fine, people could run AI servers like they do in Portal

[bronze portal]

They can run their dogshit afghan 1000 percent dmg servers and bot farms, i dont care. I just want a server browser that allows for good servers to join

[tropic folio]

and i'm saying that still leaves us with the problem of sitting in a server with 2 people waiting for others to join

if there aren't any other ones available that's what we'll have to deal with

[bronze portal]

I tested this. I had 3 friends press matchmaking for a infy BT and we all got into a different lobby

[tropic folio]

you can see it in 2042 a lot of the time, the match starts with like 50% ai and within a minute or two they all get replaced by players

[bronze portal]

Even when we pressed at the same time

[jolly fog]

That is because the game is ass tho, BF1 and BFV don't have this issue because they're not ass (BFV isn't that bad) and they both have a server browser. So the issue of dead lobbies could be fixed by not being ass and having a server browser (that would also allow bots)

[bronze portal]

That tells you that theres definitely issues with not just replacing AI properly in matches, but also the matchmaking in itself

[fringe pewter]

If they don’t bring back a server browser for the next bf, DICE is actually brain dead.

[bronze portal]

Dude, thats the least of your worries

I am fearing some sort of no server browser sbmm garbage

We know it works horribly but delta force showed it’s possible

[tropic folio]

sure but eventually bf1 and bfv will get low on players too, and that's when ai shines the most

it'll take longer to fill servers, but with temporary ai the match starts quicker

[jolly fog]

Yeah that's why I think there should be AI for custom servers, I am in support for that

[bronze portal]

Then it is what it is. Games “die”eventually. Keep the memories and moments in the past and reminisce about em every so often.

[fringe pewter]

If there is no server browser then SBMM will be in the game

[jolly fog]

Like if BF3 had custom servers with AI, that would be lit

[tropic folio]

but that defeats the point of having ai lmao, they're supposed to help in all scenarios when players can't fill the server quick enough, custom or official

[bright quarry]

Wasn't that venice unleashed

[tropic folio]

games die so let's not do anything to improve the player experience if they want to revisit old titles 👍

[jolly fog]

Well my mindset is we'd have a server browser so we could just join full lobbies. I guess if we did, i would not care about them being in pubs. I just don't want to be forced to matchmake with them. So if there is a server browser that allows for turning them off, I'm fine with them being in pubs

[bronze portal]

Game needs to be kept alive so lets keep implementing broken AI system, kill the player count, so everyone can play in bot lobbies 👍

[bright quarry]

A game I wish had AI was Medal of Honor Warfighter - so fucking fun in MP sad the servers stopped

[tropic folio]

lol alright

[fringe pewter]

If the next game sucks then people are gonna revisit the old ones

[solar nexus]

The next battlefield will do better than bf5 and bf2042 if it's not a live service and Instead monetized through DLCs

[bronze portal]

If a game needs to be IV’d by fucking AI thats a huge red flag

[stark wyvern]

im just enjoying bf1

[tropic folio]

yeah man agree to disagree i suppose

[dark trellis]

yup, just like BFV and BF1

[tidal shuttle]

Live service ain’t it with bf

[haughty lodge]

same bought it again today and its so fun

[tropic folio]

yeah obviously, not sure what that has to do with what i'm saying though. AI will help people play games when they're old and low on players

[bright quarry]

I miss premium

[tidal shuttle]

It’s not a forever game like apex or fn

[stark wyvern]

it just sucks it takes forever to fill the servers

[split cradle]

playing with bots sucks, they just need a server browser (an ideally self-hosted servers but nobody does that anymore)

[tidal shuttle]

We get new ones every 2-3 years

[fringe pewter]

It’s live service

[bronze portal]

If a game is good, people always end up playing the better game or hop on every once in a while

[tidal shuttle]

Bots can be used in test range

Somewhere unserious

[solar nexus]

Bf5 and 2042 were live services, it resulted in way less contents compared to the past games but there are other factors to it but i believe being live service was the primary reason for it

[tidal shuttle]

for warm up

[fringe pewter]

Andrew Wilson already confirmed that

[bronze portal]

A good game incentivizes longevity of the game

Fucking padding it with AI is pointless

[tidal shuttle]

well Andy Wilson needs to WAKE UP

[tropic folio]

idk why you're acting like games will last forever

[random blade]

Don’t need anyone to confirm it for it to be a fact

[tropic folio]

no matter how good it is there will always come a time when people move on

[jolly fog]

Yeah agree to disagree. I just want a server browser with some servers being no AI at least, otherwise it's fine

[stark wyvern]

yall get on bf1

[split cradle]

games do last forever if you can host your own servers... go join a quake 1 server there are plenty

[random blade]

We knew it would follow that business model

[bronze portal]

The irony

[solar nexus]

That's sad, they are CODyfying battlefield for years

[bright quarry]

AI as an option is good though, not to be a filler but a option

[bronze portal]

^ when the game is old then the AI might be viable

[bright quarry]

not like im in multiplayer and theres ai, more like local play

[jolly fog]

Yeah i just want the option

[tidal shuttle]

It just shouldn’t be forced

[solar nexus]

Bf5 was the first attempt to turn battlefield into a live service

[bronze portal]

But the game should not rely on having AI to fill lobbies from the START

[bright quarry]

agreed

[tropic folio]

literally my entire point

[tidal shuttle]

ya and the problem was they came out w content very slowly

drip feeding

[fringe pewter]

If the game is good and it’s feels like a true bf experience like 3/4 then I don’t give a shit.

[bronze portal]

I have little expectations about this franchise anymore. As long as it has a working mouse input im playing

[solar nexus]

People said exactly the same thing for bf2042 before it came out

[jolly fog]

This, nothing else like BF, and imo CoD is just ass nowadays

[bronze portal]

They can’t pull the “we work at home so its sooo hard” bs no more

[tidal shuttle]

we want fresh new weps and gadgets not wait 6 months for one map

da f

[bright quarry]

well they advertised it as so with the portal

[bronze portal]

Im sure a lot of BF players tried DF in hopes it gave some BF vibes

[fringe pewter]

2042 looked garbage from the beginning tbh

[tidal shuttle]

portal had potential man

They fumbled it

[bronze portal]

But it was some chinese knockoff skin gacha

[jolly fog]

I got nervous as soon as I saw the first gameplay

[dark trellis]

but the issue with BF2042 was they were using a new Game Engine that the new devs were not familiar with, wich likely caused the delay and many issues

[bright quarry]

the gameplay felt like cod - operators suck - and portal was just limited

[tidal shuttle]

I used to get folks to buy the game early

[bronze portal]

I kinda hope they don’t listen too much to the milsim boomers that complain about the game being fast

[jolly fog]

Hopefully the next BF is optimized well

[bronze portal]

Game should have some form of skill expression and a way to outmaneuver your opponent

Not COD level though

[jolly fog]

Milsim gameplay in a BF or anything close to it won't work well now imo

[bronze portal]

I dont wanna be a fucking flying squirrel

[solar nexus]

Not just that, almost everyone who worked on battlefield left the studio after bf5, mostly due to bad treatment from EA.

[fringe pewter]

They’re going for a 60hz tickrate which is amazing

[bronze portal]

Hop on portal and you can see the average BF redditor

[solar nexus]

Most of the devs on bf2042 never worked on battlefield before

[bronze portal]

AFGHAN MILSIM 1000% DMG

[solar nexus]

This is still true for the next battlefield but very few dev came back to work on it

[bright quarry]

It just needs to have the feel and authenticity of a battlefield game which is arguably 3 & 4

bad company too

[bronze portal]

See, i really couldn’t give a shit if they were OG devs or not

They had every tool necessary to make a decent game

And the fanbase clearly stated what they wanted

Bf 3.5/4.5

[solar nexus]

Today's dice isn't the one who made BF4 or even bf1

[bronze portal]

But they said nah fuck you and made some… dogshit

[bright quarry]

yeah but devs come and go and still its the lead of the director

[visual widget]

I refunded Battlefields I bought because there was no English language available. EA doesn't care about foreigners.

[bronze portal]

The game needed a minimum 1 year delay

In terms of content and bug fixes

Id rather get a complete game over a unplayable garbage

[dark trellis]

I know right, this time they need to always remember, they are making this game for the players, not for their own pride

[solar nexus]

Ex-DICE Developer Says Battlefield Fans Should 'Temper Their Expectations'

[fringe pewter]

What do you guys think out of 1-10 DICE can finally make a good bf game for once? 😭😂

[tidal shuttle]

No crashes,mix in some legacy maps keep feeding the fans. Release new weps frequently. and the game will be fine

[bronze portal]

I give a solid 3

[dark trellis]

ehhh, for the next BF, like 5

[bright quarry]

Id say 5 also

[dark trellis]

why cause I need to get my hands on it

[bronze portal]

Im not lobotomized enough like cod fans to think OMG WERE SO BACK after seeing a few leaks and a trailer

Show results, let me test them myself, then Ill see for myself if it is up to expectations

[bright quarry]

They gotta do a Beta like bf4 on shanghai that was so good to see

[bronze portal]

I already saw issues with the pre alpha that i doubt many changes will be made

[jolly fog]

There is this one CoD YTer who made a video saying "BF is BACK! with a thumbnail of his shocked face. People like him are part of the problem, no one knows shit yet

[solar nexus]

5, its difficult to make one under EA's control

[fringe pewter]

No just make a beta where it’s not buggy and full of glitches.

[bronze portal]

Average clickbait for 12 year olds

[bright quarry]

bf4 beta was good and there were glitches but it had me feeling good when it came out

[fringe pewter]

Honestly I’m going with 1

[dark trellis]

I think they should do like 2 weeks of open beta for any players to want to test it out, I am willing to put in time to give my input about the game

not just open beta for pre-orders

[tropic folio]

didn't the split fiction ceo just come out and say that ea was amazing and let the studio do everything they wanted without any interference

[tidal shuttle]

Ya it felt similar to 3

[tropic folio]

people love to shit on ea and put zero blame on dice

[mental wedge]

The whole point of a beta is to be buggy? That was delta force mistake the playtest was quite smooth when it came out new bugs were identified. That really what you want?

[tidal shuttle]

no I’m blaming dice take accountability

learn from mistakes

[bronze portal]

Its crazy how people think EA is the only one at fault

[solar nexus]

If the next battlefield isn't a live service then battlefield might actually come back on track

[bronze portal]

The DICE head of management is fucking horrendous

[bright quarry]

they should get rid of live service and go back to dlc/premium

[fringe pewter]

Not happening

[tropic folio]

yeah idk how they think it works lol, as if ea tells them exactly what to do and they all just follow along

[bronze portal]

But how will they dripfeed content

[bright quarry]

It will never happen but it has killed most games

[bronze portal]

Premium system? That requires content

[solar nexus]

Ea told dice to copy what's popular so dice delivered on that with bf2042, we saw how that turned out

[fringe pewter]

And you know what’s the crazy part? Lars Gustavsson was the director for 2042

[tropic folio]

live service can work, we'll see if dice can do it with bf6. We only got a shitty drip feed with 2042 because they spent most of their time fixing the game and reworking maps

[bronze portal]

B-but people have lives outside of work, -and they need ample time to live out their life! No overworking 9-5 beyond

[bright quarry]

Like old premium service - you pay for premium get access to the dlcs or if not you pay as they come out

[tropic folio]

source?

[bronze portal]

We gotta take care of our employees so we need to dripfeed content, but its free guys!

Fuck you DICE

Wake up

Its your last straw

[tidal shuttle]

it won’t becuase as soon as bf launches with its 500 issues dice always goes on vacation like the job is done

[errant mica]

I wanna play test so bad

[tidal shuttle]

like bruh it just started

[solar nexus]

Some EX dev on Twitter, some journalists reaffirmed that

[fringe pewter]

Tom Henderson made an entire documentary about it

[bronze portal]

Its not brutal expectations to expect a game to work as intended

[tropic folio]

well they do have holidays as well, that's just a consequence of the release schedule

[tropic folio]

tom henderson, famous for being right twice a day

i do want to see that documentary though

[solar nexus]

Ex dice devs founded Embark because they were tired of chasing trends

[stark wyvern]

im never going back to bf2042 after today of playing bf1

[bronze portal]

The mouse works in bf1

[bright quarry]

bf1 was great, bf4 tho is my standard still

[fringe pewter]

https://youtu.be/2MKtgP7cHEk?si=9Kj67cinVktniEOg

[bright quarry]

bf3 is just dead

[bronze portal]

Thats solid enough reason to play it over 2042

[tidal shuttle]

we’ll launch a beta see how it runs in the wild. If it’s shitty delay that bih

[bronze portal]

Even if bf1 is not a sound game gameplay wise

[mental wedge]

What about all the layoff that ea made including some to the original dice team

[tidal shuttle]

Too much harm comes from brokenness

[stark wyvern]

bf1 is way more immersive though than 2042 correct

[tidal shuttle]

bad look

[bright quarry]

bf1 was never a bad game, just did stuff differently which people disliked its still great in its own way

[random blade]

Depends what you consider immersion

[bright quarry]

bfv and 2042 were just awful

[stark wyvern]

2042 had cod feeling

[random blade]

Narrative, mechanical, visual

[bright quarry]

yeah its the gameplay like the guns did not feel like battlefield xD

[solar nexus]

Ex dice dev says "It's important to remember, BFV was the first BF game to launch after EA's pivot to live service games. DICE was told they could no longer sell DLC packs (like all prior BF games), monetizing only via non-gameplay impacting cosmetics. After SWBF2's controversy, DICE was afraid of live service games"

[stark wyvern]

i wanted a story to play a real battlefield game

[tropic folio]

we'll see how bf6 turns out, the split fiction article has me hopeful that ea had little involvement

[solar nexus]

"At the end of 2018, Battlefield V missed its ship date by a month and ultimately shipped a classic, unfinished, "we'll fix this in the live service" game. Pre-orders were bad because the exclusive cosmetics were ugly and overall sales were poor. BFV became the worst selling, mainline franchise game"

[bright quarry]

yeah and cosmetic system is great but blows when you add shit that takes away from the game, if they launch bf6 and then start adding pink goggles, spandex leggings, its gonna burn xD

[fringe pewter]

EA will fuck it up someway

[solar nexus]

We will never get a game like bf1 again

[bright quarry]

there was an old game on the 360, forgot what it was called, but had perfect cosmetics, helmet, goggles, facemask, rig, gloves, everything youd want all milsim but the gameplay was fun

not codesk but shit it was like around or before bf3

[random blade]

Socom maybe

[bright quarry]

yeah actually probably that game

[solar nexus]

"The business people at EA have always looked longingly at Call of Duty and the gazillions of dollars it makes annually. Then they look at Battlefield and ask, "Why can't you be more like that???"

BF2042's performance gave Vince Zampella and Laura Miele their dream opportunity to turn BF into CoD."

[solar nexus]

I can't believe an ex dice dev is saying that

[fringe pewter]

The OGs are gone

[random blade]

Because battlefield doesn’t release yearly games and manipulate its audience into spending money

[bright quarry]

yeah great shout, it was socom i was talking about - love for dice to do that style for bf6 and keep the gameplay similar/but still updated as to battlefield 3 and 4

[solar nexus]

He also said

"The goal is a new BF game every year. I think EA has a roadmap to achieve this, but we wont see the next game in 2026. If Beede sticks to his vision we'll get:

1. A full priced main game with limited single player
2. Seasons, Battlepass and live service slop
3. A free to play mode like Warzone"

That's so sad

[solar gulch]

123456

[random blade]

Will admit I’ve not played it, was just a bold assumption knowing it’s a classic art style multiplayer shooter, was a lucky guess haha

[fringe pewter]

And that’s mean the game will feel nothing like battlefield

[solar nexus]

Ea said the next battlefield will be like bf4 and bf3,

[raven pier]

More like 70%

[solar nexus]

If they monetize it though DLCs like the old titles instead of making a live service, it will give me some confidence

[fringe pewter]

Do not believe anything what they say, remember they told us that 2042 was right on schedule.

[random blade]

Idk bout you but I’ll just see what it has at launch and base a purchase off of that

[solar nexus]

The problem is they are actively CODyfying battlefield

[random blade]

No point risking it and buying into something for the potential it may have for the years after

[raven pier]

It's not that much copy pasting

[tidal shuttle]

3/4 was nice it had a good blend of tank/air/ and infi maps

[raven pier]

Nah 2042

[tidal shuttle]

I wouldn’t be mad if they had carrier assault aswell

[bright quarry]

so wrong

[fringe pewter]

Idiotic baiter right here

[tropic folio]

aren't you the one that's always glazing that guy and saying he's going to save battlefield

[solar nexus]

Ripple effects is working on a br mode for the next battlefield

[bright quarry]

bf3 was completely different to mw2 at the time

[solar nexus]

They wanna take on warzone?

[fringe pewter]

Me?! 😭😂

[raven pier]

Bleh BR...

That I don't care about

[tidal shuttle]

bf doesn’t need a br

[raven pier]

It doesn't fit in

[tidal shuttle]

what it needs is a giant ahh map with just tanks and we pick each other off one by one

[tropic folio]

yeah someone in here was always going on about that old dev that dice got and how he's gonna turn everything around

[random blade]

Cod fans probably thought the same before Warzone tbh

[bright quarry]

i think its just a happy feeling knowing he directed 3 and 4 and is now doing bf6

[random blade]

But either way I won’t play it so

[tidal shuttle]

I mean blackout was ok…

Blops4 had a comp br

Had to find scopes and shi for your load out

[wicked tulip]

Join the biggest Battlefield 6 Force today.

[bright quarry]

bf3 was just the next step from bad company wdym

[raven pier]

Yep....

[bright quarry]

medal of honor warfighter mp was like the combination of cod and battlefield

[solar nexus]

That time battlefield was strong. Cod wasn't much bigger compared to today. So it worked back in the day

[raven pier]

That was a great game though

[bright quarry]

amazing game

[solar nexus]

Look at the sales

[tidal shuttle]

How

[bright quarry]

i liked their operator system xD

[raven pier]

Well there was bc1 and bc2 before 3

[fringe pewter]

Yea and look at both franchises today, 💩

[mental wedge]

It was a game that ended to soon. R.I.P Preacher, mother, voodoo

[tidal shuttle]

Bf6 just needs destruction to keep the bc2 fans happy

[open reef]

Honestly bf is still better than the dumpster fire that is cod

[bright quarry]

cod stuck to its roots of a fast pace shooter still just lost it with warzone and nicki minaj and etc but battelfield like changed their entire gameplay over the years

[raven pier]

But ye, it was a whole new engine too and more modern, pretty much shaped fps games with large maps today

[solar nexus]

Battlefield 3 sold around 15 million, compared to COD mw3 2011 Which sold 20 million

[heady holly]

Best thing ever was planting c4 on the ground floor oh a house and bringing the whole thing down on a squad

[tropic folio]

cod changed drastically too, let's not act like bo6 is anything like cod4

[mental wedge]

We kinda don't need all the statistics dude

[raven pier]

Hardline was more fun during beta, other than that I didn't like that one as much as 3 or 4

[bright quarry]

oh 100% but I like separating black ops from modern warfare

[solar nexus]

Point is battlefield was good back in the day to go against COD

[tropic folio]

then mw3

[bright quarry]

yeah

[bright quarry]

infected was ruined too somehow

[mental wedge]

Glitches

[bright quarry]

mw3 infected on dome was best memories

[tidal shuttle]

Yall don’t know nothing about javelin glitch

[mental wedge]

Mw3 infected terminal all you had to do was the door glitch to get on top of the plane and just keep bouncing around

[raven pier]

I remember

From mw2

[bright quarry]

and the airport kitchen on the bottom floor for arkaden

[mental wedge]

Yeah

[raven pier]

Background music "kalinka"

[tidal shuttle]

That terrifies me to this day

[near plover]

Does anyone have good Battlefield 2044 controller settings?

[tidal shuttle]

Aim and shoot

[dark trellis]

nope, the AIM still sucks

no matter what I try

[solar nexus]

How do i know that they are not doing another battle royale to take against warzone. They even have the former warzone lead who might be leading the next battlefield br

[tidal shuttle]

Cods not gonna be even wz anymore after verdansk comes back

It’s cooked

[dapper ember]

i just got bf1 why do i have 27 unopened crates

[solar nexus]

It's included with the game

[dapper ember]

they say premium membership tho

i don’t have that

[tidal shuttle]

Did you get revolution bf1

[ember bluff]

and what will the test of the new game look like? I left the registration for the beta test right after its announcement and nothing has come yet((

[dapper ember]

yeah

[tidal shuttle]

I think it comes with it

[dapper ember]

oh right okay

never played a bf game before so i was a little confused

[dapper ember]

any tips for new bf1 players?

[junior herald]

Probably no one playing objective smh

[raw folio]

hi

im planning to buy bf3 and play online game mods. is this game still has active online players?

[finite mauve]

BF4 is a lot more active

[raw folio]

Yeah
I bought it today, a little dead but not quite

[finite mauve]

3 or 4?

[raw folio]

4

[finite mauve]

Um

There's 3.4k on steam right now

You need to go to server browser

And edit filters

[raw folio]

yeah I know but my area is in Europe and I cant play a lot of servers

just german and russian servers

[finite mauve]

You can play NA servers

Just higher ping ofc

[raw folio]

ping is high in these servers

[finite mauve]

True

[raw folio]

I usually play with 75 or 88 ping

but with na servers it goes to 135

probably I should wait for new bf

[jolly fog]

So how active is BF3 on PC outside of sales? Playable?

[stark wyvern]

so who is playing bf1

[manic jasper]

Is BF4 still active?

[gray cypress]

battlefield 4 irish And Clayton Pakowski > battlefield 2042 irish And R.I.P Clayton Pakowski

[solid hinge]

battlefield 1 is still very active in japan

[pliant nymph]

does anyone know how to keep render.perfoverlay disabled in bf3? it keeps reseting when i die, and i already have it in a user.cfg 😦

[jolly fog]

Did you make user.cfg read only

[gray cypress]

BF3?

🤷‍♂️

[pliant nymph]

Yes

[jolly fog]

Well that's annoying then

[jolly fog]

Did you just get BF3?

[pliant nymph]

On friday

[jolly fog]

Oh okay, was gonna ask if it was active outside of sales, I thought about hopping on

[flat rapids]

does anyone know how to maybe fix bf4 not launching? it keeps turning the ea app on and instantly shuts off right after, i installed all the visual redists and nothing works...

[kindred sail]

try joining games from battlelog

[little mulch]

im on batle net

[kindred sail]

that's the blizzard client

https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/

[pliant nymph]

i fixed it by changing some nvidia control panel settings 🙂

well atleast it fixed my fps issues

The next battlefield single player better be good

[copper haven]

[urban canopy]

Motive seems like a good studio. So I think it'll be pretty decent.

[fringe pewter]

Hopefully it’s a linear campaign this time

[feral rose]

Hey all, trying to get back into BF1 on PC but I keep getting an odd erro mentioning "Connection to EA Online has timed out". I can get into BF2042 and literally every other game just fine. Already reinstalled several times, no dice. Anyone else have this issue?

[finite mauve]

Rip Clayton😭🙏

At least he's alive in the new battlefield lol as it's modern

[fallen ferry]

Wyd

[regal garden]

I just repurchased BF1 for my xbox series x. At nearly 10 years post launch it should come with everything unlocked for multiplayer. Sucks i lost all my stuff I had took the time to grind on bf1 on my ps4

[vagrant bough]

Hello, someone knows if the people from the south América could be available to play the battlefield labs?

[tropic folio]

At the moment it's only Europe and North America

[jolly fog]

Good thing 2042 has cross progression, next one should too. Real shame tho old ones dont

[void sonnet]

js met a rank s999 in 2042, hell nah

[keen lava]

let's go back to old school ways by getting rid of kill cams and seeing a sniper's glare. You wanna know where you got shot from? figure it the F out like back in BF2 days. Listen to where the shot came from and where you were hit. I don't snipe, just sayin.

[worthy sapphire]

dawg..

[keen lava]

my bad...not kill cams....seeing where the person shot you from. Bro, you dead. deal with it. you don't get to know, lol.

[finite mauve]

2042 doesn't have kill cams, and battlefield 4 had glint LMAO

[keen lava]

did you not read my 2nd reply. i corrected what i said. 2042 does let you see who shot you and practically where from and gives you the ability to spot them to your squad. Get rid of it all. Don't want to die...then communitcate properly

[finite mauve]

Oh

[kindred sail]

would love it

but unfortunately people will cry that it's too hard

[tight rain]

I’d like for there to be a giant glowing arrow above the person who killed you when you respawn

This would help with visibility issues

[heavy phoenix]

I just hope it has, battlefield 3 style maps, battlefield 4 timeline, also battlefield 1 graphics and character customization, battlefield V destruction. Also would like the 1st person take downs again, and the jets take off from runway and helos lift off helicopter pads

Oh and bring back bad company jdam and mortar remotes

I miss the stationary motar from bad company, let's up fly the ac130 too 🙌🏽

Please don't add skins like 2042 👎

#PTFO

[heavy phoenix]

Also Remember the peek and lean from medal of honor

[tidal shuttle]

Bf4 had glint but it wasn’t like everyone had access to snipers

These maps in 2042 are open and there’s not as much cover so it made sense for everyone to just pick a random rooftop to just camp on

[teal fractal]

Idk i rarely die to snipers

[raven pier]

Scope glint sucks. There are scope attachments to reduce glint...hope they add that xD

On bf I just snipe with 4x without the stupid glint

[random blade]

I do feel it's important to have

[tropic folio]

it'd def needed

[raven pier]

Or just limit amount of scoped snipers per game instead of having the annoying glint

Some servers can do that

[tropic folio]

i don't think that's beneficial to the game

and it doesn't really solve the problem

some players will end up leaving if they can't play what they want

and you still have x amount of snipers killing people with little chance of being seen

[wise flare]

I agree with kato on this you cant limit the amount, if you play hell let loose you would see why i say this having x2 recon groups and they either make or break the match

[raven pier]

That's fine

[tropic folio]

i think the alternative to glint would be bullet trails that last a second or two, but that'd look really bad and not suit battlefield

[wise flare]

But at the same time i see why you say this as i’ve played bf in the past and most role as recon and this also messes with the match and uou end up loosing in like rush

[raven pier]

Tracer rounds do that

Rather have tracer rounds than a spotlight glint

[random blade]

a lot of people tend to cower away at the sight of glint, if you see 4 glints on a hilltop then people will run to cover regardless. It's existence can have a passive beneficial effect

sure if there was no glint, those people would be unaware and get picked off, and they wouldn't then share that information with others nearby leading to more kills, but the effect it has on player behaviour as it stands now is still very useful

[wise flare]

100% i played bf5 and you play the airstrip like one in the desert and you can see 6 scopes you know that you will be lucky to get one

[random blade]

in my eyes the best use of recon is to cover repeeks and control the orientation of enemies around cover, which glint actually helps achieve more than no glint

[wise flare]

But i do miss bad company 2 days where snipers where stealth and its only when you caught the angle of the projectile it gave away they’re positioning

Arifica harbour was one hell of a map

[karmic jasper]

we have noticed your computer is currently offline Error

[raven pier]

You don't have to say that in every channel....

[karmic jasper]

i am just stressed out from past 2 days nothing worked still get this error

[raven pier]

But it doesn't really help to spam it in every channel without context like that, it would be hard for most people to get what you're trying to say

[random blade]

ngl I thought it was an attempted scam

but tbf we don't have a dedicated support channel either

[raven pier]

Was my first thought too

[karmic jasper]

Who Can Help ?

[raven pier]

A quick googling suggests that you completely reset your network settings on windows and reboot your PC

[wise flare]

Or try to reinstall the launcher

[raven pier]

Or just go into CMD type "IPconfig /renew"

[sterile jolt]

Glint is essential honestly fck camping snipers

I would even propose to add glint to sniper red dots

Only iron sights would have no glint

[raven pier]

Or just add the abysmal scope of m3 infrared again xD

[pulsar quail]

No.

[karmic jasper]

Let's see

[pulsar quail]

Sniper glint generally needs to be removable imo.

Or at least made less significant than it is currently.

[raven pier]

There's scope attachments for that IRL but maybe the devs could add that and add -accuracy or -range...with that to balance it

[pulsar quail]

The amount of times I have been able to deny snipers their well deserved kills because I spotted their glint is ridiculous and only reinforces their uselessness on a tactical level.

[raven pier]

I deny snipers by redeploying just before they get me xD

[pulsar quail]

Yeah, killflashes and improvised taping of the objective lens, I am aware.

[raven pier]

Most people here don't know anything about that,.just to point out

[sterile jolt]

Add flinching and add glint to every sniper scope except iron sights

[pulsar quail]

No.

[raven pier]

That would never happen

[pulsar quail]

That is the stupidest suggestion I have seen you make yet.

I don't even play as a sniper when I play recon class but I can definitely identify that as a horrendous idea.

[sterile jolt]

Sorry for not wanting to get shot by someone camping in a bush

[raven pier]

Just redeploy xD so they don't get a kill

[pulsar quail]

If you don't want to get shot, FPS's probably aren't for you.

[raven pier]

I wish I could bind redeploy

[karmic jasper]

check my dm please

[sterile jolt]

Just use 3x scopes 😂

[pulsar quail]

Sniper rifles should not be nerfed, if anything they need to be buffed so those playing with sniper rifles can actually contribute more to the team than just reducing HP of a few players.

[sterile jolt]

Snipers shouldn't exist, remove snipers, make DMRs recon weapon

[pulsar quail]

Another really shitty take on the issue.

[sterile jolt]

Nah

Snipers and shotguns are annoying for the same reason

No skill, huge damage

[pulsar quail]

Again, the way to make snipers more relevant to teamplay isn't to nerf them into oblivion, it's to empower them to be able to make a difference.

[sterile jolt]

Snipers shouldn't be relevant to teamplay, recon should be 🤷

Give recon DMRs and spotting flares or something

[pulsar quail]

Snipers when employed correctly have a massive impact on gameplay flow.

[sterile jolt]

Snipers does the exact opposite, some recon sits at the edge of the map or at the spawn trying to pick off players from 700 meters away

If you give recon DMRs they will sit at the back of assault, use flares and spawn beacons instead

[pulsar quail]

Not a universal truth, however. You're always going to have that kind of player just like you're always going to have people with mortars camping in the back.

[wise flare]

i'm not sure that applies for all snipers i tried playing bf 2042 as a recon placed down a spawn becon on objective and squad spawned in guns blazing and gave away the position

[sterile jolt]

Mortars are removed and games were better for it

[raven pier]

What a party pooper you are, they're fun to play with, hence why I'll always wait in corner for some sucker to be blasted by my shotgun xD

Since when is bf is skill based shooter? It's a casual game

[wise flare]

well in HLL the recons job is to run around scoping for outposts and going to the back to take out arti so by removing mortars you removed a huge part of the recons job

[sterile jolt]

BF isn't HLL

[pulsar quail]

This is not HLL though, HLL is very different.

[raven pier]

Ah ye recon on BFBC2 had mortar support, hope they'll add that back

[wise flare]

i've played BF since BF2 and it has changed massivly since launch

[sterile jolt]

I hope they will remove every recon perk from the game honestly, recon tree is unbelievably OP

[raven pier]

They're both arcade games

[pulsar quail]

I hope they remove you from the game

[sterile jolt]

Recon perks:

• Resistant to spotting
• Spots everyone they shoot
• Can't revive people they headshot
• Mortar out of their *ss for no reason

[spiral hemlock]

[raven pier]

Well you can't revive anyone who got headshotted by any gun...

[sterile jolt]

You can

[raven pier]

That makes no sense then.

[pulsar quail]

I honestly am not even going to continue arguing this with you since you have zero mental capacity for considering factors other than "i dont want to get shot"

[sterile jolt]

BF players ain't even playing their own games 😂

[raven pier]

There's a classic saying, "If you can't beat em, join em!"

[pulsar quail]

You keep your opinion, I'll keep mine

[raven pier]

Instead of whinning

[sterile jolt]

Recon requires too little skill for the benefits it has

[spiral hemlock]

Sounds “try hard”

[raven pier]

Mimimimi, soo much whine

[wise flare]

i don't play bf 2042 because of bad experiences in the begining it was just ok but you try load in now its just spawn kill after spawn kill

[sterile jolt]

I don't want to sit at the edge of the map and shoot players from 500 meters 🥱

[pulsar quail]

To play recon well requires far more skill than you think.

[raven pier]

Then do something else?, counter them maybe?

Or be at another part of the map

[sterile jolt]

I played recon in BFV too, BFV recon was great, 2042 recon is just hitscan

[raven pier]

Else alt f4

[wise flare]

either lmg classes or assault or smg the play style is far too fast and is starting to be more like call of duty and should never be like that in a million years

[raven pier]

Bf1 is better for sniping than 5.....

[sterile jolt]

BF had CoD movement since BF3

[wise flare]

bf V was and is a brilliant game you just load into a game now and it feels like you're playing with bots

tbh that's when i started to dislike bf

[raven pier]

It's worse with the nofliers in the game..

[sterile jolt]

BF1 is too cheesy, sweetspot is a terrible mechanic

[spiral hemlock]

I want play new bf

[raven pier]

A team full of tryhards is not fun to play against

[wise flare]

bf3 was the last ok game bf1 was meh in the beginning and bf5 was good

[raven pier]

So what? It's a great game

[buoyant ice]

Idk bro I love almost all battlefields

All fun in their own ways

[wise flare]

i mean it still had its bad moments on metro

[spiral hemlock]

I agree

[sterile jolt]

I had the exact opposite experience, love me getting killed by someone camping at their spawn with mortars 🥰

[wise flare]

but battlefield 4 and 2042 damn they really let the ball drop

[spiral hemlock]

[wise flare]

in my opinion

[spiral hemlock]

Are you all playing bf on pc?

[wise flare]

i'd love to get in on the beta to playtest as i'm currently unemployed but i'm not sure my pc would handle it it has a 1080 and a 8700k

[raven pier]

Ah ye the mortars were great, especially at Amiens. I used it a lot xD

[wise flare]

i tried playtesting for bfv but my laptop at the time just crashed i managed to play alot of the others

[raven pier]

Of course

[raven pier]

I had that GPU like 6 years ago, was a great gpu

[wise flare]

yeh its about when i had my pc built

awesome gpu and still runs most games today wish the cpu wasnt as hotheaded

[spiral hemlock]

I am trying to play bf with a controller, it is so hard for me, I get used to playing bf with mouse and keyboard.

[wise flare]

kinda wish they fetch back the medals like they had in bf2

i know they still have them but it doesnt feel the same without being able to earn a purple heart

bf 2142 was a fun game aswell i had high hopes 2042 was going to be the same but honestly it didnt reach that peak of nostalgia for me

[zenith parcel]

how can i play the testing i love bf

[wise flare]

it's probably a small population at the minute but you can sign up for playtests on the ea website i'd love to get in on it aswell

[zenith parcel]

i tried and fileld out app

buit nothing its been month

[wise flare]

probably reserved for content creators atm

[spiral hemlock]

I have only played 1,5 and 2042 so on

[zenith parcel]

is battlefield 1 strong population?

[wise flare]

they usually roll out a playtest closer to the release date for a much higher % of players

this is usually to get a feel for server stress testing

i believe 'shrug'

[spiral hemlock]

Has anyone played this game with a controller

[wise flare]

which game?

[raven pier]

I can't play any fps with controllers, just doesn't feel right

[spiral hemlock]

I tried but it turns out I need a lot of time for practice

[wise flare]

i've played 2042 bf v bf 1 bf 3 bfbc2 bfbc on controller

[spiral hemlock]

[wise flare]

i've played bf 2 bf 2142 bfbc2 bf v on mouse and keyboard

[raven pier]

My thumbs don't agree with it when aiming, gives me thumb cramps,.great for driving though.... But I've been gaming on keyboard and mouse since the early 90s so I'll just stick to that

[wise flare]

i started in the 2000s on pc but had a ps1,ps2 also played on the megadrive a little lol

[spiral hemlock]

I was born after 2000s

[wise flare]

cmdr homer ever play viet cong?

[raven pier]

I did, back in 2003, great game

[spiral hemlock]

👍

[raven pier]

A youngling

[wise flare]

in the day that was a great shooter think the graphics would give me nausia now though trying to play on an old 32 inch 30 hz tv and damn

[raven pier]

Back then I played it on 85hz 17" CRT

Gaming on TV back then was terrible for PC

[wise flare]

talk about the nausia i have a 4k tv up on the wall but gives me kneck ache looking at it and its probs 60hz at best on pc

[raven pier]

TVtooHigh

[spiral hemlock]

I was born in 2004, and I started to play video games on pc when I was 10

[wise flare]

yeh i know but its great when im sat on the setee i just need a decent moniter

[raven pier]

That was the year I built my first gaming PC xD

To play bf1942 and BF vietnam

Also BF2

[wise flare]

that was one i missed out on i kick myself for it

[spiral hemlock]

Maybe I am younger than one of your computers

[wise flare]

bf vietnam as i enjoyed viet cong

my first pc ran on widows 96 and then 98 ^^

[raven pier]

Well I also have a PC older than me Amiga 500 from 1985, still a fun retro computer

[wise flare]

then i had windows 2000

[spiral hemlock]

👍

[wise flare]

i dont remember the hardware was a little bit too young

[raven pier]

I started gaming on PC when I was 5 and also learned how to reverse engineer PCs by taking them apart to put them back together

That's how you learn troubleshooting

[wise flare]

yeh i was around that age also

[spiral hemlock]

In my memory my father got his first after 2010

[spiral hemlock]

First pc

[wise flare]

i hated the keyboard and mouse connectors the green and purple was a circle with a notch out

[raven pier]

Late...

[wise flare]

so many different positions you could plug them in

[raven pier]

PS/2 I miss those, they always worked no matter what

[wise flare]

100%

[raven pier]

There's one position to connect them

[wise flare]

i played xbox also for halo /2

[wise flare]

yeh that was the issue lol

[spiral hemlock]

I got my ps5 after a winter vacation’s hard work

[wise flare]

you could be milimeters away from it you could waste a few minutes trying to plug them in at that age

[spiral hemlock]

With salary from my part time job

[wise flare]

hard work pays off it's just finding time to play them when you work

[spiral hemlock]

Yes

My first ps game was blood borne

[wise flare]

honestly i miss work like hell but sleeps my biggest issue and then the toll it takes on your body

[spiral hemlock]

Sounds strange

[wise flare]

what does?

[spiral hemlock]

I’m not sure

[wise flare]

well tell me which part and i'll explain more ^^

[spiral hemlock]

Maybe it just because I don’t have such experience

[wise flare]

work shifts and work with heavy parts and work everyday of the week and put in 12 hours shifts then maybe you might ^^

but i'd advise against it

[spiral hemlock]

I miss my childhood but I don’t want get back as I can’t play video games

I have my own pc after I finish my high school

[raven pier]

My first ever game was Dungeon Keeper (from EA) 1996, for windows 95

[spiral hemlock]

What does it look like

[wise flare]

mine was the medal of honors on ps/2 and the call of dutys

[spiral hemlock]

👀

[raven pier]

First ps1 game I had was Omega Boost (JP Version)

[wise flare]

i loved the first mission on frontline and used to wake up every morning at 3-5am put the tv on loud and keep playing that mission over and over

d-day

[spiral hemlock]

You really love it

[wise flare]

dont think i ever played omega boost

i didnt play alot of the early video games as i was too young

[spiral hemlock]

I’ve never heard of it, it’s too old for me

I heard that an94 is going to be added to 2042

[wise flare]

it's too little too late for bf2042 xp with bf6 right around the corner

[spiral hemlock]

Is that means something to old players of bf

[wise flare]

yeh probably

an94s all ready in isnt it or something similar?

[spiral hemlock]

Many of my friends are talking about an94 recently

[wise flare]

its just from the ak format

[spiral hemlock]

They said it was a powerful weapon in bf 3 and 4

[wise flare]

yeh somewhat

what's the point of adding the an94 if you all ready have a ak style gun in there

[spiral hemlock]

I don’t know

[wise flare]

like i understand having the ak 74 and the ak 47 and the pkp

its like the m4 and m16 and the m21 ebr and then the mp5 and the mp7 there's a point in them because they are completly different guns

i get that the an94 and the aek 971 has different fire rates and its a goodway to launch to not give people the most op guns and to give them something to level for but at this stage what's the point?

[spiral hemlock]

Aek971 can only be used in close-range fire but ak24 can only be used for distance fire, how strange ak series weapons in 2042

[wise flare]

its the m14 ebr not m21 ebr but they're called different things in different games and slightly different

probably different callibers

[sterile jolt]

AN is a burst fire gun

Unlike AEK, AK24 etc.

[wise flare]

whats the modern sniper that has a similar characteristic to the springfield probably not even modern anymore as most use the dmr platform with a higher calliber

[spiral hemlock]

[wise flare]

yeh i get that i know theres different aks but they mis represent them in games as the ak that had burst fire did it with a single fire tap and was still 7.62 and was full auto

[sterile jolt]

It will be burst only in 2042 I believe

[spiral hemlock]

I haven’t played bf4

[sterile jolt]

If it allows you to two burst to the head it will be decent

Especially if hyperburst works like irl(no recoil)

[wise flare]

well its less recoil

[spiral hemlock]

👍

[wise flare]

you still get recoil but its almost as little as non i shot a 7.62 ak platform irl and it it left bloodmarks under my skin lol

cant remember the grains if it was cheap shells or whatever or expensive but damn it packs a punch

i also shot some 5.56 shells from a gun similar to the m4 and damn they fire so much nicer yeh they dont have the stopping power like the 7.62s but

[sterile jolt]

Not really

SFAR has slowest fire rate in ARs, it's undeniably meta

[wise flare]

yup it's why i dislike bf2042 it feels like every fight is miliseconds before you're up close

not only that but rush is literally rush now before as a defender you had a brilliant defence point in bf3 but in bf2042 the maps i've played is like your out in the open the classes with the wing suit and they're just in so fast it's unreal

sorry i made a typo i corrected it ^^

like i said we all ready have a call of duty we dont need it in battlefield

[sterile jolt]

SFAR isn't the cover art gun, M5A3 is, M5A3 is also better than AEK with short barrel

Same damage model with far less recoil

[wise flare]

i'd love to be on the playtest as i literraly have nothing better to do than to submit bug reports

and give my 10 pence as a 'og' battlefield player but i'm probably past the sell by date now

[sterile jolt]

They have same fire rate

M5A3 short barrel > AEK any day

M5 also has better attachments

[wise flare]

i signed up it would be nice to get an email though i'd love to get it on xbox but i can change my display for abit

[sterile jolt]

Even MTAR in 2042 is better than AEK, same damage model but has far less recoil

[wise flare]

and it would be nice if i could get the client to play with developers and bots even if it helps out the development

like i said i dont work so i have too much time on my hands and anything that helps me to pass time better i mean i'd love to be employed by a game studio to just playtest certain stages to pick up on bugs

but job oppertunitys like that are the rarest

and rightfully so when you can have people do it for free

[sterile jolt]

M5 is better with standard extended than close combat

Close combat is nerfed

[wise flare]

i hate that they change the names of the rifles aswell cant we just have the days back when a m4 is a m4 and the m249 saw was the saw

[sterile jolt]

Yeah lol 2042's weapon stats aren't accurate

Look into Sorrow's spreadsheet

Google

It's an excel spreadsheet

[wise flare]

that's another point why not update the stats ingame rather than having to go from a excel sheet?

[sterile jolt]

High fire rate doesn't always mean meta in 2042 though. SVK is meta, slowest firing DMR. SFAR is meta, slowest firing AR. K30 is useless despite being fastest firing SMG. AC9, PP, PBX and even MP9 is better than that.

[wise flare]

i thought they was swapping to something different than that lmg wise and it has a sliding barrel similar to the aek ?

to combat recoil and increase fire rate similar

similar to one of the guns in call of duty mw2 the new one cant remember the name

no i'm talking about irl

sig m250?

garandthumb check it out on youtube looks one hell

of a gun

https://youtu.be/w3Y4JLUCrFw?si=UcXL07jlqydrTUPF

looks like a real nice piece of kit irl with the easy changing barrels

[raven pier]

they should add the tactical whizzbanger for the fun of it xD

[wise flare]

yeh i do prefer m250 rather than the xm250

it follows on from the m249 better

yeh id prefer it be called m7

call of duty call it the RAAl-MG

[raven pier]

I also remember they call every gun wrong... in some of their games

[wise flare]

yeh it's annoying

100%

[sterile jolt]

They don't want to pay licensing fee, that simple

[wise flare]

^

[raven pier]

meanwhile on Tarkov... they really dont care about the gun licensing xD

but that's a Russian dev

[wise flare]

also dont they just called them like a 7.62 and have some text pop up above it?

like so the guns called a 7.62 in bold and the gun name above it in lower case an not in bold?

[raven pier]

most slavic game devs seem to get the gun naming correct though, except on STALKER 2 but u can add a mod to it to display the right naming of guns

[wise flare]

i never played it but probably watched videos on it

[raven pier]

that's classic American anyway, suing here and there

I think that soon doesnt apply here in EU anymore xD, they can sue all they want, we'll stop caring

[wise flare]

this is something else i also wanted to suggest to the devs like in bf v i loved how they added different uniforms for the different factions but and recently loaded up bf 2042 to see they have camo with the head and body but maybe to go further with it like in rainbow six vegas 2 and maybe make it so the medals you earn can be equipt to your uniform

austria is expensive

infact netherlands has a nice mark up on shopping items

zilla you from the us?

[raven pier]

NL is also expensive

[wise flare]

im sure i've played a match with you on bf2042 recently actually is ur ign zilla?

[raven pier]

Germany is the only cheap country we border to

[wise flare]

i know some parts of them is expensive

[raven pier]

well anywhere around Randstad and the main cities are expensive

[wise flare]

i did'nt know that tbh

[raven pier]

you're already much better at geography than 90% of your country's people xD

[wise flare]

out near eindhoven is where i like to visit

[raven pier]

I used to head there every summer as vacation (before I moved to NL)

[wise flare]

out near america near dusseldorf

i've stayed all over in europe though

france germany netherlands

[raven pier]

u missed Belgium xD

[wise flare]

yeh there also

[raven pier]

I only went to Eindhoven for one reason only.... Dominator!!!!

[wise flare]

what's dominator?

[raven pier]

world's largest hardcore festival

[wise flare]

yukk

[raven pier]

best festival 😛

they have the best artist BBQ anyway, that's what I look forward to more and to hang out with friends there

[wise flare]

https://tenor.com/view/uffa-gif-27431770

[raven pier]

although we have around 1200 festivals of different kinds in NL throughout the year

[raven pier]

a shitty opinion

are u one of those that can only listen to one kind of genre? xD

[wise flare]

no i listein to many

just hardcore isnt one of them

[raven pier]

its a very Dutch thing

[wise flare]

although i do tend to go for a more relaxed music with bass

[raven pier]

I listen to that too, really depends on the mood for me

[wise flare]

yeh same here

[raven pier]

well hardcore is only when I have the party hard mood

[wise flare]

like 10 years ago when they released the saxophone beach bass stuff was nice

i mean the uk clubs 10 years ago had some good music aswell

i mean the stuff which would of being in ibiza also

and them islands

i'm just old

i used to like trance now its very dependant on the song

well with all music its dependant on the song

and the mood

[raven pier]

the early 2000s trance tracks were the best tbh

but not all of them

[wise flare]

like i said it's all situational

[raven pier]

one genre I could listen to a lot is Drum&Bass and also Jungle

dnb is really nice to drive to

[wise flare]

i dunno

like the recentiest songs i drove to was sound of vondel (oliver heldons)

like i said its all situational

[solar quarry]

yeah, liquid dnb is good driving musacs.

nu:logic, dawn wall, klute, etc

[wise flare]

sorry was making lunch if you could send me some over in DM would be appreciated if they're good driving/ gaming

[rugged barn]

DnB, Trapstep, dubstep and some others

i do love the kind of music Rocket League has

[summer forge]

Trap Nation on YT always had solid stuff

[raven pier]

darkstep and hardstep, I like of the steps the most 😛

[random blade]

Never even heard of those before

[sterile jolt]

Electronic music subgenres

[summer forge]

He probably figured that part out

[teal fractal]

theres insane amounts of sub genres

[rugged barn]

yup

[solar quarry]

so many that the apps all label them incorrectly half the time

[rugged barn]

Calvin Harris makes mostly House and Deep House

Skrillex is dubstep

[wise flare]

what about mt eden

[summer forge]

I usually just find the stuff with the best/deepest bass

[wise flare]

mt eden is far from it cant really called skrillex bass

fingerprint lane 8 when the drum kicks in with a decent pair of earphones you feel like your ear is right next to the drum

i mean there isnt much bass in it other than that

[summer forge]

I’ve found most electronic isnt as bass heavy except for the drops

You have to venture deep into dub to find it. Most of todays electronic still carries vibes from the old techno/trance days

[rugged barn]

Oh and also

Phonk

[raven pier]

and hardcore techno phonk 😛

a friend of mine created that sub genre here

[raven pier]

they're pretty underground

[tulip berry]

has battlefield labs started?

[tight rain]

There has been at least one previous test

[solar quarry]

one test is complete, this week will begin the second, so now we can say testes

(until there's been three tests)

[rugged barn]

testes is testicles you dingus XD

[raven pier]

lol

[raven pier]

people here really surprise me with their level of intelligence.... in a really bad way but that's to be expected

[rugged barn]

I dont know if i should feel insulted or glad XD

[summer forge]

Yep, check email if you registered

[uneven hollow]

@strong parrot thought you might like this one

[carmine grail]

Mango

[solid hinge]

make open beta right meow

open alpha.

[raven pier]

probably a later thing

[solid hinge]

i think the cod advanced movement damage to having fun in an online fps has been well proven over the years

[jade lintel]

Tactical sprint is pointless in BF

[uneven hollow]

Ngl never liked tactical sprint like sure it’s “useful” but like is it really a just have thing

[obsidian bluff]

It'll be an email from EA

[jade lintel]

in 2042 theres no real point to it, if you can do it infinitely with almost zero downsides to go faster than normal sprint why not have normal spring be at tac sprint speed and just remove tac spring

[obsidian bluff]

Also, another thing is I don't understand why people when they post footage just blur out names.

Can't you encode like actual gameplay with like a code that they can detect

You're gonna get caught, no matter what right?

[summer forge]

Yep

I hope they keep team chat from 2042

[jade lintel]

Teamchat has been in almost every BF game hasnt it

[obsidian bluff]

Well, they don't have to build it back into the game, so I assume it will.

2042 being a BR for like two years of its dev life wreaked havoc when EA decided to they wanted a "normal" BF title.

[summer forge]

Not that I’m aware of. 1 and 5 don’t have it and I don’t remember 4 having it

[spark garnet]

Hello everyone I’m new to BF does anyone know if there is going to be a comp scene for BF

[obsidian bluff]

I don't know about team chat, but there's definitely all chat

[jade lintel]

No

[summer forge]

There will be if they bring back platoons

[obsidian bluff]

I love esports but no.

[jade lintel]

Theyre probably not bringing back platoons

[random blade]

It’s only a marginal increase in speed anyways. Made sense given the longer distances you need to travel in 2042 over this (hopefully). Not too big a deal if it stays or goes

[summer forge]

Which sucks since literally every BF prior has platoons

[tulip berry]

i didnt get invite ):

[jade lintel]

BF at its core (conquest and defense missions like rush/ops) is not at all compatible with Esports

[summer forge]

Probably just keep checking through the days/weeks

[summer forge]

Well with esports no

[spark garnet]

Surely there is a way to do it right and make it more tactical and indoors and make it like a 5v5 type of mode or am I just coping at this point

[tropic folio]

yeah many games in the past have had a very very faint watermark all over the screen with the player's id and other info. Sometimes you can only see it with certain filters applied, and i don't doubt that there's probably something like that in bf labs. Lotta people who think they got away are probably going to get caught

[jade lintel]

There's no downsides like slower ADS speed im fairly sure so why not just make normal sprint faster

[summer forge]

Clan v clan though? Extremely competitive. Especially on console

[jade lintel]

Yes there is that, it's called CS:GO or Call of Duty

[summer forge]

Get clans in public servers and we just go at it with each other lol

[random blade]

Literally just need to add a small team vs team mode and leave at that, it never needs to be a big focus, just something on the side

I love bf’s infantry mechanics far more than most comp shooters out nowadays, so would maybe consider playing some, but it doesn’t have to be a core focus that they spend ages on

[lofty bane]

I love how they from back You can lay on your back and shoot That's epic

[tight rain]

Yeah I always like when games let you shoot on your back too

[summer forge]

That’d be fun. But I still wish they’d bring platoons back. I don’t think people realize just how active clans still are currently.

[solid hinge]

bf esports has been a huge joke for over a decade

[lofty bane]

What I haven't saw is you can pick around corners gun first that'll be a nice little add-on as well

[solid hinge]

not every game needs it, especially bf

[summer forge]

It’s not really an esports game. But it’s community can be seriously competitive

[random blade]

Peeking? The thing confirmed in the movement and gunplay log?

[tired thunder]

because the last decade the games was a huge joke

[lofty bane]

Sweet

[jade lintel]

Some games just need to be fun for funs sake

[tired thunder]

look at bf3 and bf4 we had esl majors

[spark garnet]

The game can be fun 😂 but it’s a shooter so there is nothing wrong with having a scene it’s healthy for the game

[solid hinge]

hardline had a hostage cs clone 'esports' mode and like 2 people played it, along with the 10 total players

[summer forge]

Tell that to 5. It’s still really active wether you think it’s a joke or not

[spark garnet]

If people indulge in comp then great if not then no biggie u still have these big ass modes

[tired thunder]

casual games tends to retain more players

[jade lintel]

BF is not condusive to any sort of comp scene

[summer forge]

I honestly wish BF would create a casual mode for y’all. I really do.

[spark garnet]

I thought there was like esportBF or something like that

[uneven hollow]

Haven’t even heard of a esports for Bf

[solid hinge]

like 3 fps games total are suited to esports, quake cs and maybe old halo

[summer forge]

Casual? Hardly casual. Very competitive when clans start joining servers and we go at each other. lol

[tired thunder]

just because the game have clans doesnt mean its mechanics are casual

[tired thunder]

https://play.eslgaming.com/battlefield/pc/bf4/major/esl-one-bf4-summer-2015-cup-5-europe/ we used to have majors

[jade lintel]

Most BF modes are casual made. They can just be played closer to but not fully comp with clans, not like esports level but not completely informal

[summer forge]

That’s fair. The mechanics I’ll agree are more casual. The player base though can definitely get competitive lol

[tropic folio]

battlefield is very casual, groups of people joining servers and pubstomping doesn't make it any less casual imo

[tired thunder]

doesnt mean it cant have a competitive scene

[lofty bane]

True

[summer forge]

That’s fair too. Idk I’m used to my guys and I going up against 2-3 clans with another clan on our team.

[jade lintel]

Pubstomping clans arent that bad tbh

[summer forge]

Good times

[spark garnet]

And the only thing u need to start it is custom lobbies, the ability to pick a competitive mode like a hardpoint inna sense, and make a set of rules and change the number of players in a lobby to cater 4v4 5v5 or hell even 6v6

I don’t want to force anything I was just curious

[summer forge]

Hardly pub stomping anymore lol unless it’s a truly trash team on the other side

[solid hinge]

they did show that 1 close quarters bf3 map, maybe a tiny little niche comp scene will form idk

[tropic folio]

anything can have a competitive scene i agree

[lofty bane]

Hopefully they will bring back the legendary battlefield 3 and 4 maps that we all love

[gray cypress]

BF4 Clayton Pakowski Grave 🪦

[obsidian bluff]

I don't want old maps

[spark garnet]

I’m watching old games now to see what it was like

[tired thunder]

i dont love bf4 maps and its my favorite bf

[lofty bane]

I just want a couple for battlefield 4

[uneven hollow]

casual shitting also implies that there’s competitive shitting fun fact

[spark garnet]

And it seemed promising so I wonder what happened to that game

[tired thunder]

bf3 maps on the other hand ❤️

[lofty bane]

For sure

[summer forge]

Oh we definitely do that too 😂 I’ve gotten PSN messages from other clans trashing us for losing. It’s great.

[jade lintel]

Dude if you want something like that CSGO or Cod Competitive is far more active and fits their structure better. Theres no major reason to want to do these sorts of comp rules on BF because its core identity as a series is really different.

[solemn epoch]

Which title wasn't casual?

Because they all are

[gray cypress]

BF4 2013 > BF2042 2025

[summer forge]

Or, hear me out, join a different server? We do that all the time when we realize a server is way too casual for us.

[tired thunder]

bf4 for instance had esl majors everywhere

[solemn epoch]

[tired thunder]

bcl too

[spark garnet]

I’ve competed for 10+ years in cod I want to see what other FPS are out there and see if anything else could try and sustain a scene

[jade lintel]

That too, btw how big is your clan

[jade lintel]

I'll be honest with you bro, BF is not going to work in that scene. Idk many other games out that are similar to comp cod but CSGO might be good for that.

[summer forge]

During peak of BF 5 around 20 people. We’re down to 6-8 with 4 core members.

I can also tell you at least 6 other clans definitely active in 5

[gray cypress]

What bf6

[summer forge]

BF mechanics are much slower in concept compared to COD. It’s a big learning curve unless you seriously tweak your settings

[jade lintel]

Does your clan have strict rules around what weapons you get to use or you just use whatever so long as its good

[summer forge]

We refuse to touch Boys AT or Panzerbouze (however you spell it). Also greatly look down on Type 2A (though I’ve been prone to falling back on it in super sweaty games). Shotgun players are annoying as heck 😂

Usually we encourage guns that help push objectives and keep each other alive

[jade lintel]

Those are very respectable

[tight rain]

If you use anything but historically accurate weapons, you’ll get banned and probably called slurs

It’s tough but we are wolves among sheep

[summer forge]

My STG and Type 100 fit the criteria. I’m good.

Maybe swap out for the Sturmgevher 1-5

[jade lintel]

I hate those milsim types in BF

[tidal shuttle]

Lmao

[tight rain]

There is so fucking many of them on console lol

[summer forge]

Straight facts

[tight rain]

Desperation for a milsim game I guess

[summer forge]

Console is such a different world from PC and players don’t even know lol

[jade lintel]

Squad would do crazy numbers if it was on console, but its probably never getting ported

I kinda wish i joined a clan in BF, i almost accidentally joined a milsim on this server and it sucked

[summer forge]

Clans like TSC, TS*, AFMF come to mind

[tidal shuttle]

Reforger has potential

[tight rain]

Good dodge good dodge

[summer forge]

If you’re on PlayStation, clans in 5 are still really active

[tight rain]

Yeah reforger and HLL gonna be the two major and well only current milsim games on console

[summer forge]

1RDR, SIC, SoMF, BIA, WHAR, UMAD, 300, NRP

[jade lintel]

I unistalled 5 a while ago to make room for 2042, i got it off PS plus so i cant get it back

[summer forge]

You dropped PS plus? Bold move

[jade lintel]

No it was PS online or something

point is im not getting BF5 again, im good w Helldivers 2

[summer forge]

If you still have PS plus then 5 will still be in your library

All good 👍

[tidal shuttle]

Bf5 needed more updates man they stopped too soon

pacific was just the start

Community was growing servers was filling up

[tight rain]

I wanted some damn eastern front guns damnit

[tidal shuttle]

Same

[sharp barn]

Is that why Reddit has so many ppl demanding realism from bf6?

[tight rain]

Oh probably

[sharp barn]

There’s a few tac shooters on console though

[tight rain]

Some people just can’t play games without them being milsim

[tidal shuttle]

No reddit just be reddit tbh

[sharp barn]

Yeah I read some truly out there takes lol

[tight rain]

Redditors are consistently fucking delusional

[jade lintel]

I mean are you really going to take reddit seriously on anything

[sharp barn]

Isn’t arma reforger doing well on console? I haven’t checked it out

[tight rain]

“As a guy who has played battlefield for 8 morbillion years, I’m gonna suggest shit that has never been in a bf game and never should”

[sharp barn]

Yeah most ppl just play battlefield to goof off tbh

[tidal shuttle]

Bf has a little bit of everything it’s fun it’s real it grabs your attention.. the moment they cater to one side the other will feel left out

[sharp barn]

Some ppl take it way too serious

[strong parrot]

Smh I can't believe this level of dino nda breaking

[sharp barn]

Like there’s a limit to how much 32 randoms can coordinate

[tidal shuttle]

Sandstorm def is bias to real, both can coexist

[jade lintel]

See people like that are kind of dumb because they want a game to be something it really isnt.
Its like comparing apples to oranges, but you want to orange to taste like an apple because you only like apples

[tidal shuttle]

lmao I just haven’t been watching all the leaks. I saw what I needed to see

We back 😎

[sharp barn]

Game looks fun fr

[tidal shuttle]

recon would be happy

[raven pier]

That

The tryhards are no fun in the game

[tidal shuttle]

If the game was too off balanced I’d switch teams to make it fair

[sharp barn]

Well I’m a tryhard hard tbh but I get that the best thing about battlefield is the sandbox

Everyone can have fun and feel like they contribute

[tidal shuttle]

If they have prox chat I think it would def add to the fun

Being able to communicate with teammates 📈

[sharp barn]

Could def have some fun shenanigans

[tight rain]

Yeah I could fuck with that

[summer forge]

I think “most” isnt accurate. Considering just how many clans and their members are seen now in a given server

It may be that players don’t WANT to see them. But theyre still there

[sharp barn]

Clans tend to congregate on specific servers though

[jade lintel]

I think it varies on platforms and regions

On BF4 i saw a lot of clans, not as many on BF5 and literally nothing on 2042

[sharp barn]

Yep no server browser

Plus clans were much more of a thing back then

[keen lava]

clans were huge back in BF2 days. Then slowly simmered away after 4

[nocturne shell]

Guys does anyone know why every time I’m trying to spawn on a vehicle in bf1 my game crashes

[jade lintel]

give it the ol restart

[nocturne shell]

Like the PlayStation?

[jade lintel]

or game

[keen lava]

like nintendo....blow in it

[nocturne shell]

How do you restart a game? Is that a thing

[tight rain]

You’ll need to unplug your console

[nocturne shell]

Ah gotcha

I’ll try rn
