[proven charm]

get on my level

[solid hinge]

Ok thanks guys what account do i need ?

I saw that there is the PlayStation Network but i don’t know the others essentials services

[fluid robin]

For all bf games

[ivory grotto]

nice

[bleak mural]

i have a standard edition of B5 that i bought for 35€ and i regret not buying it slighly later at 15€. because the game has been broken since the start and was never sufficiently fixed. as for BF1, i got the standard free plus some DLCs for free as well

i received a warning for mentioning EA/mods above in 1 comment. but no actual feedback on getting those BF5 official servers fixed/rebooted

[ivory grotto]

fair enough
idk about you but from mid Dec to mid Jan there was a discount on bf games
bf4 and 1 premium editions were 10$ each
bfv definitive edition was 15$

[ivory grotto]

damn

[bleak mural]

my fault, i read the rules after posting when i was checking on how to report 1 user for bad behavior

but the sad of it is that i got ignored

its fine if mods want to punish me... but please get the problem some attention from community managers / game developers

i contact ModMail and i was able to get some feedback on how to reach EA about the issue. posted to their message boards and support system. but i dont think it will be addressed.

"hello. BF5 official servers #26262 and #10619 have been stuck/broken for weeks/months now. please reboot/fix them."

[solid hinge]

sorry for the late reply but where can i buy it i’m in the armory but can’t find the gun

[prime pine]

My company

That's where you need to go

[solid hinge]

oh ok thank you :)

[rustic tinsel]

PSN

That's it

[wet whale]

if i buy bf3 on steam will i lose my progress on origin?

[solid hinge]

Ok thank you very much

[pulsar valve]

No, the progress is saved on your Origin account

Which is launched anyway, if you use the Steam version

[wet whale]

i have only vanilla bf3 on origin while i plan on buying the premium edition on steam cuz i need the dlcs it won't make any problems with my progress thus far right?

[pulsar valve]

Should be no issues

[bold bridge]

I am having so much fun in BF1

[edgy tiger]

Anyone has some tips to counter AA on BFV as pilot?

[rustic tinsel]

Good to know

There was a cheater vs cheater match yesterday and even that was fun for me

[clear gust]

So Battlefield 1 is on sale rn, but only the Revolution edition is being sold. Does that include all the DLC? It’s very confusing, as they don’t seem to even be selling any DLC for BF1 besides instant upgrades to your various classes. Should I assume everything is included in the base game?

[rustic tinsel]

Bf1 revolution is the premium version of the game which has all the dlc

[clear gust]

Alright, thanks

[rustic tinsel]

👍

[stiff vigil]

I just bought bf1 (my first bf experience, bc I heard 2042 IA kind of a dumpster fire rn) It's really good imo

[open jay]

wish they had made a dedicated launch system for BF3 on steam

Because rn it doesn’t work

[stiff vigil]

Can't you launch it from bf1 or like other games though

[solid hinge]

I just wanna cry because they left bf v out of content

It gets so boring

Always same maps

[gray glade]

learn where the AA's are

easier said than done to take them out though, at least on the pacific maps

[dense seal]

BFV anyone ?? PSN. FTP-_-777

[clear gust]

So I deciced to get BF1 after talking to more people about the state of the game ($10 for the entire game with dlc), and I'm trying to play it but now it's making me verify that I have the game

It wants a code, a code I was not given

Any ideas?

Nevermind, it stopped asking lol

[hasty quartz]

Damn everyone saying bf4 is the best battlefield but no one has it anymore

[vivid rapids]

I wasn't ever a fan of 4

I feel like i jumped into it too late and it felt clunky to me

[placid socket]

BF4 is the BF I have enjoyed the most.

[gentle cedar]

BC2 and BF4 are my favorite.

[novel musk]

I do, I main it

[solid hinge]

Hello I am from Niger

[tight rain]

Thats nifty

[solid hinge]

What

[tight rain]

That is nifty

[solid hinge]

What is nifty

[tight rain]

That you are from niger

[solid hinge]

What does nifty mean

[tight rain]

It is interesting

[solid hinge]

Ok

[small fjord]

Fjëll be like the sky has glints

[solid hinge]

BF1 has the most god awful grenade spam holy fucking shit

[edgy tiger]

Gotcha thanks!

I am pretty close to start kamikazeing into AAs

[edgy tiger]

Almost everything explodes in BF1

[blazing matrix]

Almost?

[opaque flicker]

Yep

The Assault class is way too overpowered

It’s downright stupid that one class has access to so many explosives. It turns infantry maps into intolerable explosive fiesta

I don’t think Engineer in BF4 was this bad at promoting such a meta

[manic rivet]

does anyone know how to get into an empty game of conquest on dragon valley for the BF4 Dice LA camo?

i cant find any servers

[manic rivet]

like is there a way to start an empty server if i cannot find one?

[tight rain]

You gotta cough up the shekels my friend

[manic rivet]

like to rent a server?

[plain ginkgo]

yup

[rustic tinsel]

Try operation locker/metro on a no rules server

[broken sonnet]

ohhh, may i ask what this tactic is?

[valid island]

(bf2042) My game's constantly crashing when joining a game, does anyone know how to fix this?

[twin gale]

Delete it

[valid island]

Lmao

[glacial sand]

So the franchise is dead?

[solid hinge]

I see everyone uses Arisaka when I play BF V. What is the reason? Maybe it's just cause I almost always play Pacific campaign and players use it due to it being a Japanese rifle?

[solid hinge]

Battefield?

[glacial sand]

Yes. Already dead?

[solid hinge]

No.

[glacial sand]

I grew up playing the franchise since i was 6 or 7

[solid hinge]

We still have Bf 1 which is loved by everyone and still being played and BF V which was controversial on release but got some cool updates and is still being played too.

And BF 4, of course. Though I don't play this game.

Just cause 2042 sucks doesn't mean the death of the franshice. We iust gotta hope they will learn by their mistakes.

[glacial sand]

Yea I still play BF1, BF4. Not sure if i wanna play BFV yet. I think there will be no new Battlefield game because of EA being greedy

[solid hinge]

Battlefield V failed on release, but it was no collapse of DICE.

Though yeah, EA not updating BF V and BF1 is fucking pathetic. They don't know what they are doing. Fans would rip their asses just to get a new BF1 or BF5 update, even if it's for money, just when they released Pathetic Theater and the game breathed it's second breath they stopped supporting it. EA can eat my ass.

[solid hinge]

This year's title should've been bf4 wid content updates

Bf4 got a shit ton of guns and attachments + camos on release despite being buggy

[ivory grotto]

no? it doesn't need to be remastered

you're just trying to milk the franchise

[rustic tinsel]

Tbh a remastered bf4 would have been much better than what we got now

[ivory grotto]

re-releasing a whole game just for small fixes is very dumb

[upbeat lark]

Hi all, newbie here. yet to play any bf title. I have been thinking about which one to start between bf4 or bf5?

[analog birch]

BfV is also a half finished game, i dont know anything about Bf4 being buggy but i think it is good at least better then 2042 and BfV

[solid hinge]

Well obviously not a just lazy remaster

I meant remaster the core gameplay into 2042

Classes, the variety of weapons and vehicles etc..

[analog birch]

they should bring back the classes and stop the CoD specialist right?

[ivory grotto]

still unnecessary

[solid hinge]

Somewhat like that, remember when every company was following the futuristic trend and then dice pops up with a ww1 game

[analog birch]

haha yeah that was also a bit weird

[ivory grotto]

that was a good break from the constant modern war games
i hoped they'd make a cold war game after bfv

[analog birch]

but it worked it was not that bad Bf1 if you ask me

[solid hinge]

And then everyone was doing historical games
Enter cod ww2

[ivory grotto]

idc tbh i was only talking about bf

[rustic tinsel]

Not small fixes

And I would still take it over 2042 any day

[rustic tinsel]

This is what I was thinking of

Just gameplay identical to bf4

[ivory grotto]

that's true but it's too unrealistic to happen

[rustic tinsel]

It's not an issue

People can just play the older games if 2042 doesn't improve

But some look for a more modern bf

[ivory grotto]

bf4 is still a contemporary game
functional and too recent for a remaster
better off make a new modern game

[rustic tinsel]

I wouldn't trust them to make a game as good as those nowadays

But who knows

They are probably gonna mess up again somehow

[upbeat lark]

Thanks

[solid hinge]

no

[plucky harness]

how is bf1942 now

[uneven hollow]

Cod needs a ww1 game

[untold aspen]

That instead of cod WW2 👌

But with the current state of cod, it would just be vanguard 2

[hollow yarrow]

bf4 premium now 10 eur, its worth taking or not ? Cuz base game got depressing maps af

[ivory grotto]

premium alone or premium edition?

[hollow yarrow]

premium alone

[ivory grotto]

dlc maps are often dead
but you'll still get to unlock certain dlc weapons by playing on base maps
so get it

[hollow yarrow]

oh, ty mate for info

[rustic tinsel]

They would butcher ww1

[rustic tinsel]

This

[finite gull]

Let’s see

MP 18 with Thompson grip, no stock, PPsH shroud and a MG42 bullet belt

Oh and the gun sounds like a stapler no matter what

[rustic tinsel]

Suppressed trench guns

[jagged vine]

suppose you are new bf player,which bf will you buy? bf1 or bfv? you can only buy one of these on steam

[tight rain]

I would buy V personally

[jade lintel]

BF1 i think

[jade lintel]

No it sounds like a nerf gun

[jagged vine]

bf4 is a tryhards game

[jagged vine]

why?

[jade lintel]

It's got more content, and it's generally less annoying to play. Atmosphere's better, graphics are better, core is generally more polished, and some more things.

[jagged vine]

but what about rifles? are they easy to use? and i heard about random bullet deviation,still consider buying it?

[jade lintel]

Like snipers? yeah.

BF1 sniping is very easy compared to BF5.

[rustic tinsel]

That doesn't mean casuals can't enjoy it

[quasi snow]

if your on ps4, not so much i admit i have quite shit aim but i hate getting fucked by the cheese cannon, the mg1917

250 rounds

goddamnit

cant fucking shoot at it at all

[trail zephyr]

bruh

I just had a whole amazing game in bf1

and at the end of the operation

AFTER the little historical bit

Before the results

I got disconnected

And I have no idea whether the results saved

I hope they did

But I think they did since I got a codex entry for finally winning achi baba while defending

78 ranks but only now do I succesfully defend on that map

[jagged vine]

nope they cant

[trail zephyr]

best choices rn are bf4 and bf1

The newer games kinda suck compared to the older ones

bf5 has zero atmosphere and feels like a game in early beta ALTHOUGH I have like 120h in it and it’s a decent game I just don’t feel like it’s as polished as the older games

I haven’t played bf2042 but that’s because everyone has been saying it’s boring and feels like cod

also even the beta required me to install new graphic drivers which was a red flag since I want a game not a not a powerpoint presentation

[gritty bay]

Bf4 will feel really dated now, i still love it, but i have 40 days playtime on that game, will always hold a special place for me. I loved 1, but i got bored of it pretty quick compared to 4. Visually amazing, the atmosphere is immense, but limited guns, only 1 or two are actually good, and the behemoths completely ruin the game (they look dope asf though), you're on the losing team, then suddenly loads of people disappear to the behemoth, almost impossible to bring a losing game back. BFv is easily the most "next gen", graphics are great, but more importantly, the gun play and movement just feel the best/ smooth, most modern. Imo, BFv is the most enjoyable now, but BF1 if you want to feel like you're in a war, especially when that hub is off. I highly recommend trying them both, but if it has to be one, id say 5.

[ivory grotto]

i say it once again
crouch sprinting is the best new feature about bfv

[gritty bay]

Yeah, they nailed the whole movement system! Laying backwards to shoot to, why tf did they remove it all!

[ivory grotto]

bf4's reticles are terrible they don't align well with the scopes while shooting

[gritty bay]

Yeah, its almost a decade old though now! Has held up surprisingly well

[ivory grotto]

even bf3 did it well

[gritty bay]

I cannot remember 3 😅

I remember loving it though

[ivory grotto]

👍

[fierce perch]

huh, I'm not a tryhard yet i still am good at 4

[mighty bronze]

[trail zephyr]

True but on some maps the behemoth can save a team

The one I’m talking about is the zeppelin

Others are either op or trash

The zeppelin is especially good on the russian mountain map where there are very few AA guns

but about the other behemoths

[gritty bay]

Watching the zeppelin crash and burn is one of my favourite gaming moments ever

[trail zephyr]

armored train is only really good on that one desert map full of snipers

[trail zephyr]

Remember the zeppelin dance bug? lmao

[gritty bay]

Nope?

[trail zephyr]

and dreadnaught can be either very good or trash depending on teams

[trail zephyr]

Basically

The zeppelin used to bug when hitting the ground and just start spinning in a vertical position

[gritty bay]

Ohhhh shit yeah! 🤣

[trail zephyr]

There are videos but no gif I can find

[trail zephyr]

If the driver is competent he will turn the ship so that both guns can fire while staying faitly close to shore but not beaching the ship

And the enemy team

If the enemy team uses and repairs the coastal guns

The dreadnaught will go down VERY quickly

but sometimes the enemy team forgets those exist

And in such games

[gritty bay]

It was rare to get a competent driver 😅

[trail zephyr]

The dreadnaught gunners farm

[gritty bay]

This is bringing back memories and i wanna jump on again!

[trail zephyr]

I was a dreadnaught driver in one game where the defenders ignored me and I ended up with 64 kills and 3 deaths

[gritty bay]

Nice, not bad!

[trail zephyr]

I have a ss but cant post it here

anyway

the last dreadnaught

The DLC-exclusive char 2c is arguably the worst one

It’s basically a heavy tank with extra steps

[gritty bay]

Ahaha yeah

[trail zephyr]

and can be destroyed as easily as any other tank

[rustic tinsel]

No

The blimp is the worst

[trail zephyr]

It’s like an armored train which traded all the turrets for the ability to move freely

[rustic tinsel]

It goes down in 1 minute max

[trail zephyr]

No, the blimp can carry sometimes

Usually yes

But sometimes

On russian mountain maps

It carries

[rustic tinsel]

Nah

It's bad

[trail zephyr]

Since if the zeppelin manages to destroy the 2 or 3 AA guns on that map

[rustic tinsel]

I prefer the char2c

[rustic tinsel]

?

That one map?lupkow pass?

[trail zephyr]

yeah I cant remember the name

maybe

not sure

[rustic tinsel]

And Albion maybe

The 2 cases where it might be useful

[trail zephyr]

I mean yeah thats what I have in mind

On other maps its just a huge target

[rustic tinsel]

Yeah on Monte grappa especially

[trail zephyr]

I get zeppelin kills with my burton LMG’s incendienary ammo quite often

[rustic tinsel]

I just use planes if I wanna go after it which is rare

[trail zephyr]

6 magazines destroy a zeppelin piece

[trail zephyr]

Yeah but usually the planes arent available since some dudes crash it into the zeppelin for no reason

I’d say outside those two maps the zeppelin is indeed kinda bad but I’d still say the char is the worst

Simply because

You could spawn two mark Vs instead and they would do a better job

[rustic tinsel]

No they pick heavy bombers and crash

[trail zephyr]

lmao yeah

ilija muromiec

Public enemy #1

Although the armored train could compete for the worst dreadnaught role too

It’s only good on sinai desert

In argonne it’s useless since there’s undergrowth everywhere for enemies to hide in and throw anti tank grenades

Same thing on amiens but with buildings instead

[gray glade]

the ilya muromiec was that heavy bomber right?

the one that could drop like 16 bombs at once

[rustic tinsel]

Yes

[cosmic belfry]

servers down?

[trail zephyr]

is

it may no longer fly over europe but it still drops bombs on us in bf1

it’s still as annoying as ever

[broken sonnet]

guess who just bought battlefield oneee

[broken sonnet]

argonne train is useful for the bridge part i guess

helps one side to push forward cus it draws all the attention, but it is kind of a waste to use the train as a distraction

[trail zephyr]

and thats about it since its the only time the train can drive right into combat

Other times its supposed to provide flanking fire but cant due to uneven terrain

Thus making it easy pray for assault class

[atomic crescent]

the fact that hardline still had servers to me is funny

[ionic shadow]

https://youtu.be/PkeKSlqgFk0

this video genuinly makes me sad

seeying how previous titles had so much little detail in animations and just details in general

and now its just battlefield 2 reskin

(video compares bf1 and bf5 to bf2024)

also the fact that bullets shoot from the sight not the barrel

we playin r6 siege

[placid socket]

Oh wow

I can't

Maybe I can

do it

later

[random rock]

Anyone down to help me get the 15 swimming kills for the naval cutlass unlock i can do it in return if you want the cutlass aswell, dm if ur interested

[royal summit]

You may want to try the LFG section, or the BFEE Discord for these sorts of things. 😉

[random rock]

Ok thanks

[solid hinge]

Dreadnoughts are the worst

they're useless, no matter the map

[orchid stump]

Yooo what are the best guns in bf1, or is there a good up to date video I can look at?

[compact oxide]

Best gun is the RSC SMG Optical

[orchid stump]

damn I don't have it unlocked yet lol

I might as well stick with mp18 trench or something

[solid hinge]

Nah it's the mp-18

trench

not optical

[compact oxide]

[orchid stump]

when it comes to medic/support/recon guns, the choices get even harder for me

medic seems like all of their guns are equally meh and nothing stands out

[compact oxide]

Honestly with medic there's three/four choices

[orchid stump]

been using martini on recon but I want to use something else and I donno what to do

support I use mg15 suppressive or perino low weight

[compact oxide]

That automatic one for close range, 1907 auto/1906 factory/Farquhar hill optical for mid, general Liu factory for long

Support I only ever used the parabellum low weight after unlocking it

Can't recall the name for that AR for medic

Medic is definitely the best class in bf1 though

[orchid stump]

what's the difference between storm and factory variants in the game?

[compact oxide]

Recon I used the 1903 experimental for run and gun, or the Russian trench or Ross infantry

[compact oxide]

Depends on the gun, those two medic factory variants I mentioned are different than other factory ones in that they have drastically increased ADS accuracy

Medic is all about hitting your shots

But it's king for it

The RSC Optical (not RSC SMG, the medic one) is also one of my favorites

[orchid stump]

I might tryout farqhuar hill optical whatever it's called

apparently the storm version of it I have a lot of kills

[compact oxide]

My highest kill gun in bf1 by a large margin ngl

It feels like a pinpoint accurate gun to me, the recoil pattern just takes some getting used to

Whereas the 1906 factory has 0 recoil and has a higher ttk than the RSC at range

Can just aim at head and spam the mag downrange in a second

[orchid stump]

for medic I also tried autoloading extended, do you like that one too?

[compact oxide]

That's a classic one

[orchid stump]

that one's a tough one for me to use

[compact oxide]

I used it for a while but it's not my thing personally

I like the higher damage medic guns

[orchid stump]

ahh ok. I'll try farquhar again

donno if I wanna use the storm though

storm variant I have teh most kills but since it's been YEARS since I touched it, I don't know why

[compact oxide]

I really, really don't like the storm variant

[orchid stump]

half of the stuff I have stars in, I don't know why and I don't know if they're good as of the final patch

[compact oxide]

It's very stable to spam shots but you miss shots so damn often

Whereas the optical is like a bouncy laser that you've just gotta rein in

[orchid stump]

hmmm

what do you think about the federov?

[compact oxide]

That's the one I couldn't remember

Federov is the king of close range ease of use

I prefer the iron sights variant of it

Preorder one is a bullet hose, by that I mean you're only hitting half the shots but it's hilarious

[orchid stump]

[compact oxide]

Federov is so easy though that I was still able to slay out with 150 ping and 25fps on my shitty laptop one time

Just can't snipe with it which is sad

Medic is great as the guns can cover all ranges

[orchid stump]

damn, playing operations mode in this game makes me want to be on the defending side all the time

attackers NEVER win

and on some maps, attackers REALLY never win

I don't think dice balanced operations properly throughout bf1's life cyle lol

what's the difference between the perino defensive and low weight?

[compact oxide]

Low weight variants generally regain their stability and accuracy much faster after stopping firing (so you can tap fire much more accurately)

Can't recall defensive

[ivory grotto]

the defensive has an optic sight

and what manic said too

[opaque flicker]

Hot take for BF1 but the game is so poorly balanced they had to introduce behemoths as a come back mechanic to prevent spawn camping

And they’re not even good at preventing that

[broken sonnet]

hilariously, i just deleted r6 for bf1

damned 80gb storage needed

[ionic shadow]

i'd LOVE to play bf1

but had this convo before

cheaters and hackers in every f***cking lobby

[broken sonnet]

hmm

nah it's infe

i saw a chinese stream, he was doing fine

like, he wasn't sniped all the time or something, so i just gotta pick my servers right

[ionic shadow]

community servers is the only safe space and even there there are cheaters

but not as frequent

[broken sonnet]

yea that's true

[ionic shadow]

if u dont want to uninstall after 20 min, stick to community servers

[broken sonnet]

what do community servers look like? like do you have an example of a community server name?

ik official servers had like BFV or DICE in it

[broken sonnet]

this is cus i'm in the philippines btw, so chinese/japanese/korean servers are the only ones i could reach

[ionic shadow]

uh honnestly no idea. just on the server browser i guess and look for community servers

[broken sonnet]

welp ayt thanks mehn

[ionic shadow]

genuinly dont do quick search. i havent played for ages but even so, last time i played was half a year ago, and e v e r y server i joined there was at least 2 cheaters. sometimes my team sometimes the other. people with godmode, invissible, just a flying gun, some guy with a sniper 1 tapping everyone across the map, people stabbing you across the map and out of planes, other nonsense

been told that community servers are the only savior here but if you're only on asian servers then idk.. hopefully they got them too

its a shame cus bf1 genuinly looks the best out of the bf series so far

one could argue that bf5 looks similar but eh

[broken sonnet]

Well, now I'm not that excited for the downloads to finish

Thanks tho, I'll keep those in mind when I look for servers

[trail zephyr]

Assault - SMG 08/18 factory
Support - LMG 08/18 light weight
Medic - RSC 1917
Recon - Russian 1895 sniper

Those are my favorites

You could also use the Tommy Gun (Trench) but that’s just the same as smg 08/18 just with a far smaller clip

[orchid stump]

I"ve never tried RSC 1917 nor the russian 1895 sniper. what is so good about those?

[trail zephyr]

RSC 1917 has very high damage per shot, meaning you can kill just about anyone in three hits. It also has a telescopic sight, but with just the perfect zoom to not be annoying. the downsides are that it only has 5 rounds in the clip so you should try making each shot count

russian 1895 sniper has a bipod and fires relatively quickly, dealing around 80 damage per body shot and insta killing in the head, meaning if you fire at an active combat zone you can get body shot kills quite often

[orchid stump]

oh that's good. I've been mostly using ross marksman and martini

[ivory grotto]

i am
buy the revolution edition
there are dozens of full servers @solid hinge

they're mostly European servers
and some American ones@solid hinge

90% conquest and operation

[rustic tinsel]

Smg08 is just easy

Automatico and mp18 are better if used correctly

And for the sniper the gewehrs are good

[plain ginkgo]

use the martini henry

[broken sonnet]

6 shots if you don't use up the clip

[broken sonnet]

SMLE is a really good beginner rifle tho, especially if you're aggressive

sweetspot that's close, plus 20 rounds to overcompensate any mistakes you'll make

also, do community servers have weird names?

cus there are some here where it's a bunch of stuff like ">4kpm ban..."

[plain ginkgo]

yeah they usually have pretty weird names there should be official servers aswell depending where youre from

[broken sonnet]

oh i thought i was supposed to avoid official servers to avoid hackers/cheaters tho?

[plain ginkgo]

which bf are you playing?

and are you on console?

[broken sonnet]

I am playing bf1 and I'm on the pc

[trail zephyr]

I got a score of 4444 in bf1

and got a multiplier of 1.25

so 5555

lol

[trail zephyr]

I just had a guy in bf1

spamming the n word in chat

and when I tried going into his profile to report him

error 404 popped up

[plucky harness]

2042 or heroes?

[trail zephyr]

bf5 ost is just female squeaking screams for half an hour

[solid hinge]

I really enjoy playing BF1 especially the conquest with the Sworbe LightHouse objective (Apples)

Didn't know the map name but I feel Sworbe LightHouse outpost is the best objective out of 7 to take

There I was able to shine my strength, taking out 1-2 enemy players myself before I got taken down!

and repeats

I laugh so hard when I watch enemy players enter Objective A

Me: SURPRISE!

[jagged vine]

bf4 maps have no balanced flow of vehicles and infantry

[trail zephyr]

bf1 is shit rn

the balancing I mean

There is a single operations server

In which I counted

One team has 20 people out of 32 above the level of 100

While the other team has 5 people over the level of 100 (most are around level 30)

Also most of the enemy team is level 150

While most of the other team is level 30,13,2,46 and such

The better team dominates every operation

I played on that server for 2 hours on the shittier team (despite rejoining many times) and we didn’t win a single attack /defense

They won everything with 3 batallions or all sectors

[solid hinge]

@trail zephyr could we squad up next time?

[trail zephyr]

Sure why not

[solid hinge]

When we gather up a team with a perfect strategy, it is possible to win even against the most experienced enemy players

Yep, even 150's.

[tawdry lodge]

hi

[rustic tinsel]

dont bother

it doesnt even work

[trail zephyr]

I know

EA doesn’t give a shit

[left sable]

Lol battlefield 1 and 5 have a combined 31000 players compared to 2042s 4000

[solid hinge]

Yes I like battlefield 1

[gritty bay]

Is firestorm completely dead?

Quite fancy a game

Nevermind! Found a game in less than a minute

[dense bone]

so you pick the 24 hour peaks for bfv and bf1, but pick the current for 2042?

you should be working for a media outlet with how skewed that information is

[solid hinge]

How to host public server

For bf 4

I wanna make conquest large

64/64

the smaller details are the most important to many people

you can have a game with perfect big details like map design etc but the game will feel empty without the smaller details properly implemented

especially when games before it had them

im so disappointed at how 2042 turns out and i seriously wish ea and dice some good luck in fixing it and making it battlefield

[gray glade]

It's a performance issue

i remember asking myself loudly in this very discord "how are they going to make 128 players work with the same graphics and destruction, etc?"

[dense bone]

i really doubt adding actual empty magazines to the game would make people say its a 3/10 to an 8/10

[proven charm]

i didnt say that

plus, watch the entire vid

its so many more

[gray glade]

i didnt actually play 2042, but the complains that i've seen about the game, and some in the video in the beginning, i dont think they can make it look the same

[dense bone]

"the smaller detailes are most important to many people", i bet you some 100 people noticed most of these differences on their own

[proven charm]

you start to notice them if the main game itself is bad

its not even about performance cause if bf3 or 4 had it 2042 very well can

[hushed horizon]

you cant tapfire on last gen consoles

[proven charm]

fr?

[hushed horizon]

how am i supposed to longshot with the mp9

[proven charm]

do guns not have semi auto modes or something

like as a keybind

[hushed horizon]

you mean that useless option on guns since everyone is capable of tapfiring

[dense bone]

ive watched half that video, everything so far is minor detail/animations that are missing/downgraded.

which it sucks that happens, its not really a big deal

[gray glade]

yeah, but I think DICE have started to reach limitations for frostbite, so having all these animations, tiny little graphical stuff with 128 players didn't actually work

I like tiny details like this though

bfv has the best animations of any BF game so far

[proven charm]

maybe it's time frostbite got worked on (updated) if 2042 is hitting its highest limitations

[gray glade]

I think so yeah

[proven charm]

they cant make another bf game hitting the limits

[dense bone]

for all we know they just didnt have the time to add those animations

[proven charm]

128 players is way too ambitious

[gray glade]

I wish EA would let dice work for like 6 months at least to just sit and improve the engine, possibly a year

[proven charm]

they definetly didn't

and it aint the devs fault

its ea corporate

[dense bone]

well not having time to add them is different than hitting and engine limit

[proven charm]

trying to fill their money bags for the holiday season and releasing the game early

game should've been in beta now if ea weren't greedy with 2042

[proven charm]

why cant both coexist?

2042 is ambitious and is most likely overworking frostbite and 2042 also did not get enough dev time

[dense bone]

idk, 2042 has the fundamentals and only took a week to get to an acceptable state, yea its missing stuff compared to previous titles, but that doesnt mean they were ever intended to be included at all

[proven charm]

we'll never know if they were or not

[dense bone]

well then you cant claim they were being greedy and releasing early

sure, you can always make claims, but reasonable claims are different

[proven charm]

its seriously obvious

[gray glade]

how many studios were working on 2042 by the end?

3?

4?

[proven charm]

it was more than 3 i remember

[lyric jay]

🤪

[proven charm]

i think it was 5

[lyric jay]

Ah, the good old days of BFV

[gray glade]

i dont know if EA were greedy or not, but it definitely appears that the game was in no way ready to be released

[dense bone]

this is said a lot by people that have first to 2nd time job work experience and know nothing about creating games though...

[gray glade]

but for some reason, they (EA) wanted to force the release

[dense bone]

again, it took 1-2 weeks after launch to fix a lot of problems, thats a far cry to rushing a game out

[lyric jay]

$$$&$

[dense bone]

if we are looking at missing animations as a sign they needed more work, we never knew if those animations were intended to be in the game in the first place

[gray glade]

like i said before, i havent actually played the game, but why has player retention been so bad?

[proven charm]

riddle me this, why would they market the game so much, hype it up to the maximum, then force the games release prematurely when it's coincidentally starting to be the holiday season

[gray glade]

is it the game itself that just doesnt make ppl keep wanna play it?

[dense bone]

imo its boring and not a good "battlefield" game

[proven charm]

it only has one decent mode

[dense bone]

its a decent game, and by all accounts has been fully functional since 1 week after launch

[proven charm]

and the netcode is pretty crappy

hitreg is wonky

[dense bone]

youre asking why a marketing team does its job?

[gray glade]

i had a feeling hitreg would be wonky

it was already a bit wonky in bfv

and now there are 6 more players 🙂

[proven charm]

no.. im asking why ea corporate rushed the game out

[dense bone]

hitreg hasnt been a major problem since the 2nd hitreg update

[proven charm]

marketing team did what they needed to do

[dense bone]

"why market a game so much, hype it up"... those are literally marketing teams jobs...

[proven charm]

ive played a few days ago and i point blank sprayed 10 rounds into someone and after the 5th or so bullet the guy started to take dmg

hitreg is great yeah

game is super functional

[dense bone]

maybe its changed since last update, i havent had problems since 2nd update

dont get all elementary school girl petty with this either

[proven charm]

elaborate

[dense bone]

for someone that said the inner working of a billion dollar company and its entity is obvious but cant figure this out is kind of weird

[proven charm]

elaborate

[dense bone]

personal experience doesnt mean its widespread, for all we know you just missed or even lying. even if it was hitreg the petty "its great, super functional" remark is a low tier petty school girl remark

[proven charm]

its called sarcasm

[dense bone]

aka petty schoolgirl response

[proven charm]

my personal experience is not what im trying to call a widespread experience

you're putting words into my mouth

my personal experience is what i see it to be and if its negative im not gonna be defending it

[dense bone]

never said you said it was widespread, im just clarifying its your own personal experience so that doesnt prove anything

[proven charm]

wasnt tryna prove anything

just saying stuff

[dense bone]

those are general statements represented as a fact

[proven charm]

ok hitreg is good

cause uhhh

tell me a reason

why hitreg is good, nyphon

[dense bone]

you really getting this petty huh?

[proven charm]

i want to validate the opposite side of an argument

simple stuff

[dense bone]

thats the problem, im not the opposite side of the argument

[proven charm]

so you agree that hitreg is wonky?

[dense bone]

just because i call out your baseless statements doesnt mean i think its the opposite

[proven charm]

or are you inbetween?

[dense bone]

since the last time i played hitreg was hardly a problem, granted im na west so im maybe a few hours from a server, with gigabit internet and a wired connection

in my experience its acceptable, but im not making any general claims, thats the difference

[proven charm]

i, however live in the middle of nowhere, in the countryside near the ocean with little to no signal and wireless connection that is fast on its own

if i lived in a city id maybe see things differently in regards to hitreg or netcode

[gray glade]

in BFV i can literally die 2 seconds after i get around a corner despite both me and shooter having like 30-40 ping

[proven charm]

also i dont think there are uk servers in bf2042

there werent in bf5

so my closest server is germany

[gray glade]

i've seen irish servers in bfv, 99% of euro servers are german tho

[proven charm]

ooh yeah irish

but yeah never see them either

[gray glade]

funny enough i've never been able to join the irish

[proven charm]

remember antarctic servers?

[gray glade]

literally, i cant join them

[proven charm]

they really helped my penguin friend out

[gray glade]

https://tenor.com/view/penguin-slide-cute-snow-slippery-gif-17785321

[ivory grotto]

bf1 has uae servers but not a separate category
means i have to manually search them

[proven charm]

bf1 had alot of server regions tbh

[gray glade]

we get way too many non europeans on euro server tbh, if anything that ruins hitreg tbh

like dudes be running around with 160-200 ping

almost invulnerable

killing me 2m behind cover

reckon its the same for them, me mg42ing some poor fella, and he dies several seconds after

[ivory grotto]

my ping is 75 on euro servers
and i'm not wireless

[gray glade]

what region you in?

normally

[ivory grotto]

uae servers are usually dead i just play in german and usa ones

[lyric jay]

You just get placed into German and usa servers by chance?

Sorry, you chatting bf1

Was thinking 2042

[ivory grotto]

yes
yea i choose to
since i almost never see a full uae server

[gray glade]

you guys know if BF 2042* have that skill based match making thing?

[lyric jay]

3-4 weeks ago I could get into hazard zone bf2042 in japan, but nothing now

Japan ahead of the curve, bf2042 dead already

[gray glade]

in bfv they tried the skill based match making for a little while, but didnt go over so well, was wondering if it was a thing in bf2042

[dense bone]

highly doubt it, if i had to guess my stats are better in 2042 than bfv

likely because of xplay and how many people there are to kill in a server now

[hidden oxide]

holy shit just went 52 in 26 on cape helles

[gray glade]

ah yeah that makes sense

i mean in terms of how many ppl on the server, not sure what xplay is tho?

[dense bone]

crossplay, xbox vs pc vs ps

[uneven hollow]

When’s Nintendo and mobile coming

[solid hinge]

As i ordered bf1, do we still find games easily ?

If yes, on mostly what game modes ?

[dense bone]

would help to at least give us your platform and region

[pastel yew]

Krag-Jörgensen ❤️

[solid hinge]

so the bf server has a chinese spam bot

[tight rain]

It used to be my go to

The k31 is my love now

[solid hinge]

Bf1 probably has a worse portrayal of Germans than company of heroes 2 has of Russians

[rustic tinsel]

Platform

I used to play on ps4 a few years ago and there were lots of lobbies

Now on pc there's a lot too but you have to consider day and time

Most people play operations and conquest(most populated modes)

[open jay]

?

[solid hinge]

BFV has playable campaing germans shown in a sympathetic light unlike BF1, who might as well be vampires

[solid hinge]

Why do people talk about how good bf3 is but don't talk about the dead servers

I mean in not gonna lie bf3 was awesome and better than bf4 but why don't people treat it as such

[trail wadi]

Because they moved onto the more 'updated' games

You also have Venice Unleashed, which I assume divided a good portion of it's players

[eager patio]

Other than Bf5 bad bcuz i siad so >:( why was battlefield 5 such a flop (in the fans eyes)

[solid hinge]

Bc womens and being a rival to their beloved bf1

[edgy mantle]

because asian servers dont exist and thats where most players come from?

[warped imp]

is the bundle worth it for 25$?

[solid hinge]

The Imperial German army were basically vampires historically
What else do you call a army who participated in constant atrocities, were the first who used chlorine and mustard gas, and yet cry foul, when some 19 year old American conscript uses a boomstick against them

[solid hinge]

Yet the ww2 germans get more sympathetic treatment despite ethnic cleansing and mass genocide of those they deemed racially inferior

[rustic tinsel]

How

Literally

What about The prologue scene with the Harlem hellfighter and the german soldier lowering their guns

The other scenes are just battles with the Germans

And let's be real don't forget the atrocities the Germans commited in ww1

I have no idea about bf5's campaign because I skipped it simply but I'm sure it doesn't do it justice

[solid hinge]

A bri ish person ignoring all that was done in India, Africa and west indies

[solid hinge]

Because it couldn't stack up to bf1
Both artistically and gameplay wise at launch

[solid hinge]

Sorry, Europe and ps4

[ivory grotto]

most the servers are in europe
use server browser not quick match

do you have premium?

[solid hinge]

Yep

I ordered Bf1 revolution

[ivory grotto]

good

[ivory grotto]

mostly operation and conquest

[broken sonnet]

why does battlefield 1 say it needs a storage space of 81 gb but steam only shows it downloading 60gb?

[solid hinge]

because it downloads as littel as possible then the files unpack and install. its to make the download times faster.

imagine the game is split apart and put into boxes for easier transportation, and then when they are on ur PC the unpack and assemble the game to its normal size.
idk how else ti explain

[broken sonnet]

ohhhhhhh

well alright thanks, that makes sense then

i was kinda holding out hope that i still had an extra 20gb lol

[warped imp]

Is btv still alive

[ivory grotto]

yes@warped imp

[warped imp]

I bought the bundle

Which two should I download

1 4 or5

[finite gull]

1 for atmosphere
4 for Battlefield
5 for gameplay

[near jungle]

True

1 and 5 are my favorite

[rich shale]

1 and 4…

[frozen shadow]

Hey guys

Should i buy bf4 or bf2042?

[silent kelp]

Bf4, it’s still quite good, with a decent player base.

[finite heron]

Bf4 campaign is hard do you guys agree

[silent kelp]

On a higher difficulty most likely, but in general it seems pretty ok.

Kinda buggy If I remember correctly

[finite heron]

Oh yeah there’s one time in the campaign on the hotel roof I killed all of the enemies on the secure the heli mission but the game won’t load the next mission don’t know if it’s a bug

[eager shore]

Battlefield V personally. But otherwise I would recommend Battlefield 4.

[rich shale]

Diving trough the ship… buggy hell

[silent kelp]

Ah yeah that was a nightmare lol

[proven charm]

bf4 DEFINETLY

[ivory grotto]

is the dud club only gained via exchange? no battlepacks

[weak axle]

BF4 doesn't have a high enough player count to warrant buying, and I'd wait on BF2042 until it's under $40, personally. Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V are still highly populated on servers and really fun though!

[willow falcon]

https://youtu.be/iJuY_Gv3Czg what were BF1 horses even made of

[frozen shadow]

i alreeady own battlefield V xd

[frozen shadow]

gotcha

[uneven hollow]

Blood and iron

Lots of iron

[eager shore]

Then Battlefield 4 it is!

[frozen shadow]

yup

[broken sonnet]

i believe they weren't made from anything that originated from this planet

[frozen shadow]

is it me or nobody wants to play combined arms in battlefield V?

[dry sluice]

Combine arms sucks so of course nobody is playing it

[weak axle]

I've had BFV since day 1 and wtf is combined arms

[rich shale]

It actually has a high enough playercount. Some modes are dead, yes but the core battlefield modes are still very good populated.

[weak axle]

I guess it depends on the platform, the only servers that are always full on PS are Golmund and Locker 24/7

[silent kelp]

Damn, what about all the other great maps, shame its only golmud and locker, which are not bad by any means.

[opaque flicker]

My PS servers were different. It was rotation between bunch of Large conquest maps

[silent kelp]

Gotta make sure you don't have specific filters on by mistake, then that would be terrible not realizing you're missing out on a lot haha.

[opaque flicker]

I think best conquest map in BF4 was Flood Zone

Or the other map with the Megladon, somehow forgot its name

[silent kelp]

Paracel Storm

[solid hinge]

BFV 3 maps and 4 seasons before summer
2042 season 1 in summer IMAO

[silent kelp]

I throughly enjoyed Dawnbreaker though lol, even though people didn't seem to like it too much.

[rustic tinsel]

That map is garbage outside of vehicle gameplay

Most bf4 maps are bad

Compared to the older games

[silent kelp]

Well its a vehicle oriented map obviously, but there are a couple places for good infantry combat.

[civic stone]

What do people like bf5 for

[dim kiln]

Too many rooftop campers and heli spam although it's still better than flood zone

[civic stone]

More vehicles?

[dim kiln]

Dawnbreaker: I sleep
Wavebreaker: REAL SHIT

[silent kelp]

I find the rooftop campers to be a lot of snipers, so somehow im not too afraid. And the roofs are quite far up

Oh Naval strike was awesome

[dim kiln]

Naval strike so good

I wish turning tides in bf1 was similar but instead they decided to make it all conquest assault which I hate

And achi baba which is spawn camping aids I guess

[civic stone]

Bro i wish there were more bfs which had sailable ships

[dim kiln]

BF1 was supposed to have subs too but they cut them during development :(

[civic stone]

no wodner

[silent kelp]

Really??

[civic stone]

wonder*

[dim kiln]

BFV had no naval combat at all

Just the landing crafts and dinghys

[civic stone]

ship "captains" are enough brain dead to not see torpedoes from subs or planes

[uneven hollow]

Would’ve been pog if pacific had naval combat

[dim kiln]

For sure

But of course BFV needed to let down in some regard

Otherwise it wouldn't be BFV

[civic stone]

I still think that Gallipoli should have tanks

Infantry in operations is sometimes "too comfy"

[dim kiln]

Operations are very hit or miss tbh

Too often they become a standstill and it's just boring for both sides when that happens

[rich shale]

Yes, im pc and we habe loads of servers…

[civic stone]

Literally Fort de Vaux

I don't get it, couldn't they just go above the fortress?

[dim kiln]

Also it should have another outside lane on the left side

[civic stone]

yeah...

[dim kiln]

Instead they just made it out of bounds for some reason

[civic stone]

It's literally an exp farm

You aim in one spot and get kills quite easily

[dim kiln]

Fort de vaux is alright

[civic stone]

Meanwhile it's perfect for the defenders, attackers have to well, wait?

[dim kiln]

I still enjoy it way more than locker or metro

[civic stone]

locker? metro? is it bfv?

[dim kiln]

Well as far as caustrophobic maps go I mean

[proud hemlock]

I'm playing Battlefield 4's campaign for the first time today. Would anyone have any tips for me on the Singapore hanger? I keep getting destroyed.

Oh, and I'm on a PC, if that makes any difference.

[silent kelp]

Nice and slow I guess.

Mid range weapons might work best.

[rustic tinsel]

Good luck fighting them if you aren't a veteran

[rustic tinsel]

Lower difficulty?

Or better weapon

[proud hemlock]

Yeah, starting off with Easy

[queen canopy]

BF4 campaign is fucked in general lol

[proud hemlock]

Fire from the high ground or get down on the ground before firing?

[rustic tinsel]

It's buggy as hell

[proud hemlock]

One playthrough I watched used grenade launchers almost exclusively

[rustic tinsel]

You don't have to

[silent kelp]

I don't play engineer so...

[rustic tinsel]

Just stay behind cover and use a weapon you like

[rustic tinsel]

Then you are gonna get farmed

[silent kelp]

Thats fine, I haven't played BF4 in quite a while.

[opaque flicker]

Paracel storm is a great map. It’s vehicle oriented but yeah that’s the point

[rustic tinsel]

Thing is it's 99% of the time a stomp

One team has all the vets

[opaque flicker]

I haven’t had that experience really

[rustic tinsel]

That happened to me a lot

[silent kelp]

PC?

[rustic tinsel]

Yes

[opaque flicker]

In BF4 I get spawncamped maybe 1/20 games in BF1 it’s like 1/5

[rustic tinsel]

Either that or clans

[dim kiln]

Yeah it's really bad in BF1

[rustic tinsel]

Bf1 on which mode

[silent kelp]

On console its a little bit more mellow, but still has that one really good vehicle player.

[dim kiln]

BFV also is fine too but BF1 maps are super prone to spawn camping

[opaque flicker]

They had to introduce Behemoths to balance that issue from playtesting ig, but they don’t really bring you back from that far behind most of the time

[opaque flicker]

Conquest

[rustic tinsel]

On operations it's not as bad

[dim kiln]

It happens on operations too

[rustic tinsel]

On conquest some maps are horrible

[rustic tinsel]

Not that easily

[dim kiln]

But yeah it's really bad on conquest

[rustic tinsel]

The maps are much bigger

[opaque flicker]

Also yeah I hope@PC players are better because Console players are braindead. I cannot tell you how many times I lock on and without even waiting for me to shoot, they ECM/flare

[rustic tinsel]

I used to play both bf1 and 4 on console

Pc players aren't as bad thankfully

On pc it's much harder to shoot them down

But it's still doable

[dim kiln]

Helis are AIDS in BF4

[rustic tinsel]

You can scare them away with lock ons

Or snipe with a tank sometimes

[dim kiln]

Depends on the map

Can't do that on flood zone

[rustic tinsel]

You can

[dim kiln]

Nah they can just get behind buildings and dodge stingers

[opaque flicker]

Lock ons are noob traps

[rustic tinsel]

It's still a win because they are busy avoiding your lockons and not destroying your team

[dim kiln]

SMAW is good for taking them out if close but it's a lot of luck involved too

[opaque flicker]

I would say I’m a top 10% scout heli player and I’ll tell you now that I die to a good smaw player 90% of the time over a stinger

[dim kiln]

Again it's map dependant

[opaque flicker]

Or you shoot the pilot out of the scout heli which most people don’t even know about

[dim kiln]

I'll take a stinger over a smaw for anti heli any day on golmund

[rustic tinsel]

If you get laser designated the lockons become great

Not as easy to avoid

[opaque flicker]

It is map dependant but the infantry counters to the scout heli are strong enough imo. For attack heli it’s different imo because they can fly really high and the gunner can just burst you

[dim kiln]

But like siege/dawnbreaker/flood zone etc. stingers don't do much

Yeah the z11 and little bird aren't as aids as the attack helis

[opaque flicker]

The attack heli is probably the most unbalanced vehicle in the game

[dim kiln]

They have to actually get close to kill infantry

[silent kelp]

Somehow I always felt the gunners rounds traveled a lot slower than I imagined.

[dim kiln]

Jets are strong as hell especially with the lack of AA vehicles on a lot of maps but only against APCs and tanks

[rustic tinsel]

Transport helis with gunners can counter it

[opaque flicker]

Counter an attack heli? Lol

[dim kiln]

Actually true yeah

But good luck getting a squad in it to do it

[proven charm]

it had those wooden boats and the armored boats

[opaque flicker]

The attack heli can just TV missile you tho

[proven charm]

[dim kiln]

Nah they can cause they can fly higher ant melt an attack heli

[rustic tinsel]

Yes

Just surprise them when they're busy

[dim kiln]

But like I said it's a matter of actually getting a competent team in a transport heli to do so

[rustic tinsel]

So is the attack heli

[opaque flicker]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a good transport heli take on a good attack heli. I can see it happening with 2 gunners, a pilot and 2 repairers but even then that requires organisation and a tv missile can just insta disable you

[rustic tinsel]

I've done it with randoms

[silent kelp]

I just see people use transport for like ten seconds then bail as the pilot lol

[opaque flicker]

Scout heli is basically a mobile AA when you have miniguns equipped. I think it’s a lot better for countering good attack helis and good jets

[opaque flicker]

Yeah exactly

[rustic tinsel]

You need to have a good pilot

A random can be but it's rare

[silent kelp]

Most people don't use voice, so its basically a battle bus till someone needs to bail or other.

[uneven hollow]

True but like I need more options to kamikaze

[tight tapir]

guys can we all just please as a community revive Firestorm? it was genuinely a great game that doesnt in any way shape or form deserve the hate it gets and maybe if we all come back to it dice will have enough incentive to come back and take care of it

[quiet patio]

Hey, bit of a noob question, but what's the best gametype to play in bf1 if I need to get "3x headshots within a single round" ?

I'm not really sure what constitutes a round, the games with low ping and players seem to last hours

[silent kelp]

What type of weapon are you trying to use.

[quiet patio]

I want to unlock the mosin infantry but I have to get 3x headshots with one of the rifles with a scope

[dim kiln]

just play on defense operations

[silent kelp]

I don’t remember, is that a sniper?

[quiet patio]

Pretty sure I got at least 5 but they didn't count for some reason

[dim kiln]

should be easy as fuck

[quiet patio]

Defense operations, will do, thank you

[dim kiln]

well defense side on operations is what i mean

[quiet patio]

Yeah, that just clicked

[rustic tinsel]

Doesn't need to be defense

Actually the defenders tend to have more people sitting still which means more headshots

Like proning supports,snipers and medics

[ivory grotto]

3 headshot kills with the smle III infantry

[quiet patio]

That's the one

I'm god awful, so it's taking me an age

[dim kiln]

bf1 had some absurdly grindy challenges tbh

its pretty dumb

[quiet patio]

Aye, don't have the time to grind, I need stuff instantly 😅

[ivory grotto]

i got it by help from random players

rarest thing to occur

[proud hemlock]

I'm finding it's better to just stay up on the stairs and shoot as accurately as I can.

[uneven bobcat]

https://streamable.com/g7i25w

[weak axle]

I've been playing BF1 more recently, lovely maps

[dim kiln]

i thought that was a smoke grenade at first lol

i never see people running rifle grenades in bfv i forgot they existed

[uneven bobcat]

i normally use them on assault class

its nice having a grenade launcher to deal with big groups of infantry

[dim kiln]

fair enough, i just usually run piat and at mines on assault

[uneven bobcat]

at mines are a bit useless imo

[dim kiln]

bruh theyre broken as fuck with attrition system

[uneven bobcat]

recons who love spamming spotting flares usually give them away

[dim kiln]

you throw down 2 immediately get 3 more and rinse and repeat

just put them on common roads you lose nothing

[uneven bobcat]

true

they would be more effective if tank players would actually push up with tanks

[dim kiln]

true lol

but they one shot jeeps as well

[uneven bobcat]

especially on breakthrough

tanks dont leave spawn

[gray glade]

why has nobody told me the Garand is awesome in bfv

[tight rain]

Is it decent?

[gray glade]

that weapon is legit

as long as you take ya time with it, damn it slaughters

dont wanna face more than 2 enemies tho 😮

[tight rain]

take your time with it

I dont have time

Must brrrrrrt

[proven charm]

it is amazing

[gray glade]

mg42 is love

[proven charm]

but those 8 rounds man

[gray glade]

yeah

[silent kelp]

The ping

[tight rain]

Seems to be its downfall in most games

[gray glade]

i only tried it on the pacific maps but its great there

[proven charm]

not a certain game where it can have a drum mag for some reason

i think we both know the game

[tight rain]

Kek

[proven charm]

cursed weapons game

[tight rain]

Vanguards customization is so stupid its entertaining

Not a game one should take seriously

[proven charm]

bf could do with a more intricate bf4 gunsmith

that takes inspiration from cod

[tight rain]

That would be nice

[proven charm]

e.g more customizable categories

[tight rain]

42 aint the worst in the world

But i would coom if you could change stocks and crap

[proven charm]

2042 has potential

[tight rain]

Agreed

Thats why i bought it when it was on sale

[proven charm]

that is currently being wasted, and knowing dice they'll turn the game around and ppl will look at it like bf4 2.0

[tight rain]

I actually like it quite a bit now

Least we can play the game

I have never heard anyone say a good thing bout bf4s launch

[proven charm]

theres nothing good to say about bf4s launch

but look at it now

easily the best bf game alongside bf1

[tight rain]

Never was the largest fan of 1

Mind you i still enjoyed it

[gray glade]

the gunplay in bf1 was mehh, but damn it felt epic

in operations

[proven charm]

i absolutely adored bf1

[tight rain]

Ayye thats true

[proven charm]

every aspect

[tight rain]

That atmosphere

The variant system was meh

Glad they got rid of it

[gray glade]

in retrospect i think it was probably a good idea to introduce some of those prototypes tho

the prototype weapons in bf1 i mean, the assault rifle stuff

[tight rain]

It allows you to use cool guns

That is very good

[gray glade]

from a balance standpoint as well

dont want EVERYONE to use bolt actions

like irl 😄

[uneven hollow]

How about this
A bolt action rifle but it’s belt fed

or add a drum mag to the bolt action rifle

[tight rain]

There is this springfield that held 25 rounds

[gray glade]

sounds like the slowest machinegun of all time

[tight rain]

[uneven hollow]

alright then let’s make the rifle duel wield then

[tight rain]

Wont live long enough to run outta ammo

[quiet patio]

Okay I definitely got all the headshots with the right gun in an operations round but zero counted

Sighhhj

Any ideas?

Do I have to get the pistol kills first or some random rule

[rustic tinsel]

Some

[dim kiln]

You should be able to do it in either order

[gritty bay]

You know what, ignoring the cringe end of round lines, the bugs, the lack of "legacy" features. 2042 aint too bad.. finishing my free trial

Nothing else fills the gap

[rustic tinsel]

The maps are even worse than bf4

[gritty bay]

Yep

This ice map, think its breakway, terrible!

But there is no other game on the market, and i crave battlefield ahaha

[split hollow]

hi ! well please excuse me for my aproximatif English but we will soon have the destruction of big buildings like skycreaper? because I remember a WIP video with a piece of apartment collapsing on itself

[gritty bay]

Nope never gunna happen in this game, maybe on a new map, highly doubt it

[split hollow]

pffff I’m disappointed. me who was waiting for me has a destruction of legendary quality and in the end it will not even be on this battlefield as we will see it

😢

[gritty bay]

I read it's because 128 players..

Sacrificed destruction

Huge mistake

64 is plenty

Still, just played a few games, had fun, still got 5 free hours left

[gray glade]

I guess they had to cut down on stuff if they wanted to make it 128 players

so graphics, destruction etc had to be lowered

[gritty bay]

Yea :/

Also the size of the maps is ridiculous 😅

I think they'll be going back to 64 if they make another game

[gray glade]

i would play a 64 player game that is mostly urban/city focused

they could make it modern, but with alot of destruction, nice animations (like bfv), helicopters, tanks etc

[gloomy knoll]

Rip

2002/2022

By the great EA and dice

[rustic tinsel]

The older bfs are cool

[gritty bay]

Yeah i love them, but really bored of them 😅

Put alot of time into all of them, been craving a modern Bf for years, this will have to do :/

[gritty bay]

That would be sick, and what this game should have been

[tacit belfry]

anyone else feeling dissapointed with DICE's statement today? I know i am because i paid over $100 for 2042 and im angry that all i get for an apology is some shitty skins

[dense bone]

you still get everything you paid for before, it will just come later than expected. yes that sucks, but dont act like its suddenly gone

[tacit belfry]

@dense bone im not acting like its gone. I'm pissed that DICE a) never apologized for the silence or the horrendous launch, b) is offering dirt for what people forked over, and c) is tone-deaf to the community for f sakes. Also i dont want any of the shit they offer, i want my money back but steam wont allow it.

[dense bone]

they have nothing to apologize for. is offering exactly what they said they would, just at a later time. sure might be tone deaf.

[tacit belfry]

@dense bone they have everything to apologize for. Dont bullshit me on that

[dense bone]

not delivering what most players wanting is not a situation to apologize for. we get an apology for scenarios like bf4, not 2042 making weird design choices

[gritty bay]

Yeah you've got every right to be pissed

I would be if i spent that much

[tacit belfry]

@dense bone https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/rxuriq/heres_a_repost_of_the_list_of_everything_missing/ this is what they need to apologize for

[dense bone]

no they dont

[tacit belfry]

@dense bone are you just as tone-deaf as dice is?

[gritty bay]

Haven't bought the game yet, just my free trial, debating picking it up for £30, happy I didn't pre order though

[dense bone]

open that list and the first thing is no single player campaign, thats been stated from the beginning to not be there.. how the fuck are you gonna try to act like its a surprise it wasnt there?

[dense bone]

at least i can read...

[tacit belfry]

@dense bone you clearly didnt even scroll through the post

[dense bone]

i can almost guarantee you its all things ive read multiple times now

[gritty bay]

That list is considerably longer than the campaign 🤣

[dense bone]

well actually.. i havent seen anyone complain about lack of single player before...

you know.. because it was stated to not have it from the beginning

[tacit belfry]

@dense bone "almost" as in cant whatsoever. A 2011 battlefield game is more complete than this pile of shit 2042 is. DICE doesnt thro an apology they might as well trash this game for good

[gritty bay]

The marketing was pure bollocks. The tech demo with the buildings collapsing, the 'love letter' to fans, the 'way ahead of schedule'. Anyone who pre ordered this game, have every right to be annoyed. They were lied to

[dense bone]

mmk bud, youre clearly too invested in a videogame as a consumer than you should be, nothing is owed to you but a functional game, which 2042 is

[gritty bay]

Its also meant to be a live service

But nothing till summer, 8ish months after launch

Id disagree with that statement ahaha

[dense bone]

that tech demo had no correlation to anything at all, i literally watched the presentation with it a week ago and theres absolutely no indications that its even for bf titles at all. its just a 2 second snippet and no context at all. "love letter to fans" literally starts with "portal is a love letter to fans"... the way ahead of schedule is a bad one.

yea, youre unreasonable, just because i dont agree with your complete rage i suddenly love EA? that kind of logic belongs in middle school.

[tacit belfry]

@dense bone the same kind of logic to ignore everything wrong with 2042 and calling it functional? pure ignorance

[dense bone]

not even remotely the same. plus your definition of functional is apparently off. missing something like a scoreboard, voip, or animations doesnt make a game not functional. the closest to 2042 not being functionals is concerned with bugs, which as far as i know there isnt a lot of wide spread problems in 2042 anymore. there is a TON wrong with 2042, again none of that doesnt mean the game doesnt function, and it definitely doesnt mean you deserve an apology

[ocean nymph]

what does tighter squad loop mean

[gritty bay]

Good question

No idea 😅

[ocean nymph]

if its like the ability to play solo in multiplayer im in

[dense bone]

to put it simpler for you, just because a car doesnt have ac, radio, or power windows, doesnt mean it doesnt function. it still drives. thats kind of what features by definition mean, they are added bonuses not pertaining to the basic function of said product

yes not having those basic features would be questionable as fuck, but that still doesnt mean its not functional

[gritty bay]

Using this analogy. If you bought a 2018 Ford Focus, and it had air con, sat nav, cruise control, standard features you'd expect, you love the car, so 2022, time for an upgrade, you buy the new ford focus, same model, but this time, no air con, sat nav or cruise control, you'd be annoyed

Still drives though, and still has that unique focus feel, just lacking expected features you got used to

[dense bone]

heres the thing, i never said he shouldnt be annoyed...

[gritty bay]

Don't think it would mean that, maybe the ability to pick a squad, unless im being stupid, I couldn't figure out how to do that

Keep squads together between matches to

[white narwhal]

Im listening to the Earnings report right now.

talking about how great EA is performing

[dense bone]

EA can perform great if literally every title but fifa completely bombed...

its an investors call, they care about money, not about how a bunch of online dweebs arent happy

[brave scarab]

If I were to change my PlayStation IGN, would my progress on Battlefield V be lost?

[lean linden]

They killed battlefield ;(

[dense bone]

i thought bfv killed bf?

[dim kiln]

BFVs got more players than 2042 lol

Clearly not

[dense bone]

the point of my comments was to show that a bunch of bf releases were the game that killed bf, yet we are still getting them

[gritty bay]

People did say BF4 was the end, remember that vividly
