[bronze steeple]

Yea so when i have >40kills i won

[next onyx]

So you know. For Caspian border maybe more area to the north.

[bronze steeple]

128gameplay is great

[hidden sand]

How do you feel about the CQ layout for Valparaiso Way?

[tame cobalt]

And your team lost

Good one

[next onyx]

You say that and I just got into a game for it.

It's alright. I enjoy how it plays out because the game are often close.

[tame cobalt]

Valpo cq64 is trash

[fiery dawn]

yes

[tame cobalt]

[next onyx]

It's very good.

[tame cobalt]

No

[tame cobalt]

The games are close because no one holds anything

[next onyx]

B is constantly under pressure.

[tame cobalt]

A sector that can't be claimed by either team is bad

3 flags per sector is way overboard

[next onyx]

It's a bit much but I can't complain if I get high kill games on it.

[hidden sand]

Hi my names Bradley nice to meet you
boom boom boom boom

Ahhh I wish theyd bring it over

WTF LOL

[tame cobalt]

Orbital cq128 is a good design for close games. Valpo cq64 is a bad design for close games

IMO

[still vault]

[torpid falcon]

is it just me, or are medics / supports not really used anymore compared to previous titles? I don't mean the role itself, but rather the revive / heal and ammo resupply type of thing

I remember in BF1 and BF5 there was always Medics and Supports dropping heals and ammo left right and centre

[still vault]

Doesn't seem worse to me.

[high mantle]

ngl it feels like Supports dropping ammo hardly matters when you can just switch ammo types.

• Angel

[still vault]

What do you mean with "switch ammo type"?

[torpid falcon]

Must be my lobbies then. You get the occasional medics here and there who do actually heal, but it doesn't seem important like it used to be. Same with Support, only thing they're useful for is just stocking up equipment now when it comes to the resupply side

Also best Operator for heals and revives?

[high mantle]

I just mean switching from, say, extended mag to the standard issue mag when deployed

[upbeat sand]

best specialist is falk

[high mantle]

Or from SFAR drum to the 21 round mag

[torpid falcon]

Does she revive faster or no?

[upbeat sand]

yes

[still vault]

Oh, actually didn't know that. Hmm. Maybe not intended.

[torpid falcon]

Thats a bonus

[celest oar]

matter a lot when you want to resuplly your anti vehicle launcher or grenade

[upbeat sand]

falk is the specialised healer so she can both heal people from a distance thanks to the sirette pistol and heal people to max hp

[torpid falcon]

I've noticed each mag you carry holds a certain amount, like when I ran out of bullets I switched magazine and got 1-2 clips out of it

[still vault]

Falk and Angel revive faster. Falk however revives with full health.

[torpid falcon]

Thank you!

[next onyx]

Angel was only good because he had a broken mechanic in armour.

Now that he doesn't have it anymore he's subpar.

[high mantle]

true, as a SFAR user I feel pain when I'm out of underslung rounds. However, I try to make use of all of them; 3 of each between factory mounts, AP, and smoke

[next onyx]

Yeah I just run ammo box as Mackay to refill my gadget and drum mag ammo.

I don't lose much out of it.

Refills my grenade launcher too.

[high mantle]

Also hey Way

[next onyx]

Hey!

Good to see you.

[high mantle]

[still vault]

The crate you can call down is still nifty, especially if you are helicopter hunting so you have enough rockets.

[next onyx]

The only thing he's good for.

And even so, Rely on Rao with the stinger missile.

Cause fuck couterplay.

[high mantle]

Haven't seen or played with you since that funnyass All Misaki run

[still vault]

Got Rao T1'ed so can't play him anymore 😄

[next onyx]

They could balance him better by making that his main gadget refills gadget ammo on a 30 second cooldown.

Make it an ammo box.

There you literally have a mobile ammo crate.

[outer anchor]

how to deploy the bipod, I never use that lol

[next onyx]

@high mantle You like SCAR, Yes?

It should be automatic.

[tame cobalt]

Yes. But it's getting better

[celest oar]

lie down or crouch behind cover and aim

[outer anchor]

k

ty

[next onyx]

If not, Press X or down or up on the DPad.

[tame cobalt]

The worst thing is the lack of ammo crates imo

[next onyx]

Which ever one turns on the laser sight.

[high mantle]

Beautiful

[tame cobalt]

It's time to go to work

[still vault]

My main problem with the box is that I don't use the role setups correctly. I don't have a setup for AA, Antitank etc. I just change my equipment manually. The crate is of less use if you have 6 setups all with the same riffle and mines for example 😄

[hidden sand]

I just wonder why they tied bipod deployment to a button anyway.

[bronze steeple]

Play angel einough ammo

[torpid falcon]

K30 or MP9. Thoughts?

[bronze steeple]

Both k30 more power close range

[hidden sand]

MP9 is better for long range

Cqc and long range I mean

K30 is just better at cqc

[bronze steeple]

I use it at mp9 and k30 for hip fire accuracy

[tame cobalt]

In my personal opinion they should change the loadout crate to let you change a single item manually and refill ammo. Or at least offer that as an option besides preset loadouts

[bronze steeple]

Sfar is to slow imo

I throw packs at angel

[next onyx]

The k30 is the best submachine gun since it outguns fucking assault rifles at medium range.

Very little recoil.

For some reason.

[tame cobalt]

Actually, make it so the loadout crate automatically refills ammo to people near it like an ammo crate

[torpid falcon]

So MP9 better?

[torpid falcon]

What about range compared to MP9? I haven't got the K30 yet but I thought due to it's rate of fire over the MP9, the MP9 will outclass it at range

[still vault]

SFAR was my first T1 weapon. It's great! The anti vehicle nades in the underbarrel adds great versatility.

[bronze steeple]

Mp9 at longer range more accurate k30 more powerfull at Close range

K30 best Close range weapon

[upbeat sand]

k30 needs nerf

[next onyx]

Nah k30 is better. It has a 200 MS TTK within 20 M... Mp9's 200 MS stops at 10m.

It literally outguns everything at close range.

That's how busted it is.

[bronze steeple]

Mp9 more accurate at longer distance for third time

[torpid falcon]

Damn, thank you!

[tame cobalt]

Not crossbow

[bronze steeple]

No it need burst at longer range

[upbeat sand]

i like the pbx and the pp29 better

[bronze steeple]

Pbx sucks to slow pp29 is oke but bsv mp9 k30 ak24 m5 all better

[upbeat sand]

pbx has the same rpm as the mp9

and pp29 has amo meaning pretty much keep shooting

[tame cobalt]

[still vault]

!jumbo

[frank stratus]

its happening again.

[torpid falcon]

Honestly the AA machine guns for the Wildcat don't feel that powerful unless you're in a somewhat close range

When targeting Air vehicles

[bronze steeple]

Pp29 is cool

[torpid falcon]

mack is too good

jump on top of tank, c5 dead

[fiery dawn]

ur mum is cool

[idle lion]

ayo bro wtf is the K30

why is it so op

if i can consistantly get kills with something it is broken

[fiery dawn]

it's so sexy you mean

try the BSV-M

it's way more broken

[idle lion]

im an absolute noob and yet i was murdering people

[idle lion]

nah cant get the hang of that one

OH GREAT MY GAME BLACKSCREENED AGAIN AFTER A FINISHING A SINGLE MATCH OF BREAKTHROUGH

[fiery dawn]

6 more kills for me before T1 GVT

[next onyx]

Because it is broken.

[fiery dawn]

oof

[bronze steeple]

I know and your 2 dads are gay as fuck

[next onyx]

The vector is genuinely too good.

Little recoil.

[fiery dawn]

lol nice try

[next onyx]

Mh?

[idle lion]

damn yall be beefin

[hidden sand]

The recoil for the K30 feels intense to me.

[bronze steeple]

Its basicly my main weapon now

[fiery dawn]

I just think the Vector is too good at range

[next onyx]

It's very easy to control when you get the hang of it.

The BSV is too much as well.

[idle lion]

idk about the bsv i just cant get used to it

but the k30

[bronze steeple]

Bsv is very good at med to long range but not that good at Close range

[idle lion]

i just grabbed it and went on a 10k killstreak on first time trying it

[silk surge]

I hope stealth heli never gets nerfed 😁 It's doing wonders to my KD.

[next onyx]

If you want a fun ranged assault rifle give the SFAR a go.

[fiery dawn]

bruh... short barrel and 30 round CQB mags beg to differ

[fiery dawn]

yuck

[idle lion]

disgusting

[next onyx]

I think the AS VAL config gets 900 RPM?

I'm not even sure.

[silk surge]

I love SFAR. I stopped using it since the latest update brought back the ADS bug.

[next onyx]

That can't be right.

It has an 800 RPM with short barrel and close combat.

So it kills quicker than the m5 close up.

[silk surge]

It also claims that the mag size is 50 even though its 30.

[hidden sand]

I wonder why people barely use the BSV on last gen.

[next onyx]

Who knows.

I'm just sick of seeing it everywhere.

Stupid headshot multiplier that doesn't decrease.

[hidden sand]

Doesn't decrease?

[next onyx]

So you know. Shoot someone in the head free 94 damage from any range.

[ripe hedge]

[next onyx]

With high calibre it deals 45 damage out till 150 metres and it doesn't decrease to 34.

[fiery dawn]

you're part of the problem >:(

[next onyx]

I barely use it. And when I do! It's close combat subsonic on Arica harbour!

It's just a shame that with the higher calibre rounds its genuinely imbalanced.

A wild Alex!

Don't nerf the SCAR please.

[ripe hedge]

No

[next onyx]

Weapons for the most part are fine.

Oh I didn't even see that ping sorry.

[silk surge]

Is there any point in even using the close combat mag? The extended DMR mag 3 shots at close range and can be used with full auto, while the close combat mag effectively makes it a mediocre SMG.

[hidden sand]

Whaaat? Hold on, does the multipler stack for each kill?

[next onyx]

@bronze steeple Hey just a heads up, Please don't ping EA staff out of the blue when they're not engaging in the chat.

No. All the dmrs asides from the SVK have a 2.2x multiplier.

You can headshot body shot anyone at a range and frankly that's stupid.

They nerfed that on bf5 on the first or second patch because it was a problem.

Close combat mags are just easier to use at close range.

[silk surge]

Alex should be an exception to this rule. Especially when he's on vacation.

[hidden sand]

Ah nvm, I was confused by the decrease part but it's also 3:35 am ahh.

[next onyx]

But if you can hit your shots with the high calibre rounds, You can get a 261 MS TTK out till fuck knows.

[hidden sand]

I understand what you mean now.

[next onyx]

Yeah.

I'd reduce the base RPM to 300, Have short barrel increase it to 350 and across the board for the main semis, Reduce the body shot headshot range out till 30M.

It's just omnipresent at the moment and it's not fun.

I don't mind losing at a range to a semi because that's what they're meant for but it's a bit extreme closer up.

[fiery dawn]

@hexed mango

[next onyx]

Oh nice Job.

[fiery dawn]

Thanks

[next onyx]

I'm still grinding out the SCAR cause it's just fun haha.

[fiery dawn]

Yeah that's my next T1

Started on it but then got hooked on the GVT

[hidden sand]

I should use the scar more before they inevitably nerf it.

[next onyx]

I don't really think it will.

It fits in weirdly.

[fiery dawn]

I don't think it'll get nerfed either tbh

[next onyx]

The AK could use a buff though.

[fiery dawn]

I agree

[next onyx]

Maybe a small increase in RPM and a small increase to its max damage range.

[fiery dawn]

I got it to T1 but it was like a whole new world when I finished that and switched to the SCAR lmao

[next onyx]

Make it into the STG 1-5 from Bf5.

[fiery dawn]

That's the only thing I want is for it to be a tad bit better at range

[next onyx]

Good all rounder but not perfect in anyway.

[fiery dawn]

The damage dropoff is harsh

[next onyx]

SCAR just feels good.

[fiery dawn]

oh yeah

[next onyx]

AK's 5 hit kill extends out quite well.

[hidden sand]

Yes, it could. Feels blegh imo.

[next onyx]

It's just that within that range, If you're more accurate SCAR kinda works better for you.

OH YEAH. I've been maining the 6KU for the SCAR and it feels good because they changed a bunch of internal values.

[fiery dawn]

Noted

I was running either tac compensator or wrapped

[next onyx]

When they buffed weapons to make them not be so outclassed by weapons with x attachment it's made some choices feel decent.

Arcom is fine but the horizontal recoil doesn't feel too much so just stick with standard or 6KU.

6KU doesn't mess with too many benchmarks, Just means you can't kill fresh Irish's but it's otherwise pretty alright.

Since that 28 and 22 damage adds up to 110 at the bullets they kill.

Wrapped is alright on lower damage weapons but 6KU doesn't mess with velocity so yeet.

[arctic grove]

Hello everyone 🙂

[fiery dawn]

perfect

[next onyx]

Hello!

[tribal scroll]

Does anyone encountered ADS bug with the SCAR? (after the latest patch the bug returned for that weapon only...)

[fiery dawn]

Yes

It's well known

Any weapon with underbarrel launcher attachment including scar

Happens when you get out of a vehicle or other interface that changes your viewpoint like recon drone or lis missile I'm pretty sure

[tribal scroll]

oh, thanks! I must have missed that! Hopefully will be resolved in next August patch :/

[next onyx]

Yeah hopefully.

[fiery dawn]

they keep saying it's fixed but it keeps showing up

so we'll see but yeah hopefully

[arctic grove]

Where I find Battlefield 2042 wallpapers?

Official

[next onyx]

Ultimate edition owners have access to the wallpapers, I wonder how you can extract them.

Lemme have a look.

[frank stratus]

Google.

[frank stratus]

Drag and drop

Drag from the folder and extract on desktop

[arctic grove]

Thanks

[frank stratus]

[next onyx]

In a more serious statement.

There should be websites that have these wallpapers.

[frank stratus]

There is a reason why Google exists

Or Pinterest

[next onyx]

That doesn't really help.

[frank stratus]

It sorta does

[next onyx]

Oi @arctic grove what kind of wallpaper would you like?

Oh it's giving me small pieces within these pictures.

Goddammit.

[hidden sand]

The artbook was a rip off lmao.

[arctic grove]

With Ewelina Lis

[next onyx]

Oh I don't have that.

[frank stratus]

Yea Google it lmfao I doubt that's there in the ultimate edition

[hidden sand]

Extremely low quality, and they made so many images ridiculously tiny which is like, what...? It's digital only, why?

[next onyx]

Yeah the hell even is this. I want full sized images not little bits of it.

I don't mind the digital only variant I think that's fine.

But I wish I could view some of the pieces at full size.

[frank stratus]

Try searching for the 4k resolution

[hidden sand]

No, I'm saying because its digital everything should be fullsize.

It would make sense on a print, but not digital only.

[frank stratus]

I mean converting to 4k image with Internet exists :/

But I dunno if that's good

[next onyx]

These'd be good if they were fully sized.

[frank stratus]

Kinda makes it blurry

Oh concept arts

[hidden sand]

Artists always get shafted like this. So hard to get full res versions of these concepts.

At least a good chunk of it is on art station.

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[fiery dawn]

ooooo

Falck told me "It's hypnotic watching you work"

👀

I hear so much talk about why the stealth helicopters are extremely overpowered and broken

However, I haven't heard anyone else touch on it's repair kit yet

[torpid falcon]

bro i literally got chased by one when i was parachuting

[arctic grove]

https://media.contentapi.ea.com/content/dam/battlefield/battlefield-2042/common/season-01/season-1-page/bf-2042-media-custom-zero-hour-battle-pass-xl-l-m.jpg.adapt.1920w.jpg

[torpid falcon]

he literally chased me, doesn't matter if i was free diving or what HE WAS HITTING ME WITH DAMN CANNONS

[arctic grove]

really good img

[fiery dawn]

Like yes, the 30mm is broken. Yes stealth is broken. Yes flares are broken. Yes the bombs hurt. Yes it's easily abusable and takes no skill to farm entire lobbies. But no one even mentions the part where you can be in a stealth heli with 1 hp and tap G and it will repair all the way to full. No other vehicles have a repair system that's even half as strong as that

[torpid falcon]

They need to reduce the amount of rockets it takes to kill them

Shouldn't take 3 if they have no flares and no repairs

Should be 2

[fiery dawn]

It only takes 2 stingers

Air to Air missiles it takes 3

But 2 stingers takes it out. It's just that between flares and stealth mode, good luck ever getting 2 missiles on it at once

[torpid falcon]

Where do you get the Stinger?

[fiery dawn]

Hence the broken repair kit

[torpid falcon]

Definitely

[fiery dawn]

Stinger = AA shoulder-fired launcher

[torpid falcon]

The FXM?

[fiery dawn]

yeah

whatever it's called

[torpid falcon]

That takes 3 for me

Or they just repairing

[fiery dawn]

yeah

[torpid falcon]

Can never kill one with them

They feel shit tbh

[fiery dawn]

like I said, the repair kit heals it to full no matter what

you need coordination

you can't take one out solo

[thin violet]

So glam buddy and a m5 is the best way

[fiery dawn]

yes

[thin violet]

Soflam

[fiery dawn]

Rao with Soflam + a teammate or 2 on the recoilless launchers

even then, if there are buildings about, you'll still have an extremely hard time

[thin violet]

I wish lis missile controlled a little better

[torpid falcon]

Buff the AA tank machine guns too

[thin violet]

Never hitting a stealth unless they suck

[torpid falcon]

TTK too slow up close

[thin violet]

The 30mm AA could be better yeah

[torpid falcon]

Took me 2-3 full bursts to kill a transport sitting in front of me

Like to the point I overheated the gun twice

BF4 AA was great

This feels useless

[fiery dawn]

I think they should add constructible fixed AA turrets in locations and let Boris be the only one who can construct and repair them

Since he's the turret guy

[next onyx]

They need to get rid of the EMP dart on the stealth chopper.

[fiery dawn]

that too

[next onyx]

It kills all form of counterplay.

[torpid falcon]

Definitely, I don't understand how that disables my guns?

[fiery dawn]

MAN that thing is overtuned and overloaded AF

[next onyx]

Back in 2142 EMP's would completely disable vehicles.

[fiery dawn]

Completely forgot about the EMP dart

[torpid falcon]

It disables the guns on my tank which makes no sense lol

[next onyx]

I mean it if disabled the vehicle, It should kill everything.

[thin violet]

EMP grenades do too thankfully no one uses them

[next onyx]

But yeah. It's stupid that it disables guns.

With it being so easily used.

[sacred wasp]

Deez nutz

Man I suck

[queen violet]

Yea. That liz rocket. Controlling it is shocking lol. On ps5 pad 😂

[torpid falcon]

The disabled time with tanks needs to be reduced

I get hacked and it's like for 30 seconds. Can't do anything but drive and die lol

[fiery dawn]

Anyone know why they chose the letter "S" for the prestige levels/levels beyond 100?

[next onyx]

Probably stands for special.

[fiery dawn]

🤓

[queen violet]

Lmao.. alot of people these dayz are Special

[uncut bay]

probably stands for season

considering they're likely season levels

[torpid falcon]

Is the extra speed on Ziplines with Mack really that big of a difference? Never been able to find a difference in speed

[thin violet]

You’re still a sitting duck, the strafe speed is what makes him

[torpid falcon]

So basically not much speed difference?

[thin violet]

It’s definitely faster but still an easy shot lead

[torpid falcon]

I just realised Exodus Conquest is only 64 players haha

Feel like going back to 128 players will just be too much

[queen violet]

64 players is naff

The game was advertised as 128 players,

[torpid falcon]

Yeah, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy 64 players

I've found 64 players to be a lot more enjoyable and fun then 128 in 2042

[queen violet]

I once went to a party with a friend.. he said to me a ton of girls will be there.. when i got there .. 1 fat girl….. he was right .. a ton 😂

I want 128 players. Not 64

[torpid falcon]

Then play Conquest lol

That's still 128 players

I'm just saying, Exodus Conquest for me is a lot more enjoyable

Finally got the AT missile on the Wildcat. Keen to see how it goes against Tanks

[thin violet]

128 would be more interesting to me if Exposure and Manifest weren’t the only maps I enjoy

Maybe in the future

[fiery dawn]

Really, really, really effective

I never lose to tanks with the AT missile and the 57mm cannon equipped

[queen violet]

I dont mind that manifest. In the buildings at top…. Just not a fan of the name 😂🤡😂

Sounds like a ymca bar

[fiery dawn]

Wow

The MP28 pistol has really good hipfire and exceptional range

Had no idea

[thin violet]

Little pocket dmr

[fiery dawn]

Yeah for real

4 body shots to kill out to past 60 meters and it's pretty accurate

[thin violet]

I tend to run it with my smgs/shotguns

[fiery dawn]

Yeah I like it

Never used it before

Always been a glock guy as it's so aggressive at close range with the burst fire

but now I'm working on getting T1 with the revolver so this is the first time I've tested out the MP28

[torpid falcon]

shit the at missile is deadly af

[fiery dawn]

right??

[torpid falcon]

does like 45 damage a hit

[fiery dawn]

Just 1 more reason tanks are pretty bad in this game

[torpid falcon]

would it be better to run 40mm with it?

for infantry?

[fiery dawn]

That's up to personal preference

[torpid falcon]

cause the missiles should do enough damage right?

well the 57mm feels shit for infantry

too many shots to kill

[fiery dawn]

When I play wildcat I'm usually with a squad and so I've got 2 guys on my other weapons and they mow down infantry so I just focus the enemy vehicles

Also we'll get someone to run soflam so they can jump out and paint air targets and then I can lock on with the AT missiles

but if you're by yourself in the wildcat yeah you probably wanna run 40mm so you can deal with infantry

[torpid falcon]

yeah im running 40mm haha

57mm is terrible against infantry

[fiery dawn]

it's not meant for infantry

so yeah lol

[torpid falcon]

i dont have a squad to run with sadly

im aware

[fiery dawn]

oof

[torpid falcon]

but thought it would be better then 3 shots near the feet to almost kill them

[fiery dawn]

yeah it's pretty bad

[torpid falcon]

miss the old ap mines on the tiger from bf5

[fiery dawn]

if you get used to the velocity of the 57 you can snipe infantry though

that's what I do when there are no vehicles around

it's a one hit kill if you hit them directly with the round

[torpid falcon]

what is the g84 anyway?

never see it locking on to me, just comes out of nowhere non stop haha

oh i see what it is

[fiery dawn]

Lis' TV-guided missile

[torpid falcon]

its so annoying haha

how many can she carry?

[fiery dawn]

2 charges at a time

But they recharge automatically

like Sundance grenades

[torpid falcon]

yeah thought so

just annoying

[fiery dawn]

Yeah

Not as bad for air vehicles because you can dodge them but in ground vehicles there's 0 counterplay

[torpid falcon]

yeah thats whats annoying about them. cant do anything unless you destroy them, hard to hit them if you're not using the AA cannons in the Wildcat

[pine roost]

You could potentially switch to the gunner seat

I’ve not played much since the update, but do tanks get a ‘missile incoming’ warning when they are near?

[green bough]

But it takes 4 shots to kill a wildcats so your probably ok

[fiery dawn]

when the TV missile is near?

[pine roost]

Yeah

[fiery dawn]

no

but it has a distinct sound when it's flying through the air so you usually can hear it

[pine roost]

In that case, is there some audio cue?

Aight, that’s good to know. That way you could probably switch to the gunner just in time

But the timing would be incredibly precise

[fiery dawn]

but you usually can't hear it in time to do anything about it unless you're in an air vehicle and then it gives you time to dodge

yeah

[torpid falcon]

It’s not that that’s the issue, it’s more it just uses up your resources. Because they do a fair bit of damage. Like 26 from the front i think, and then they pull out their rocket launcher or they have someone start blasting you

[fiery dawn]

I don't think that's gonna save you 99% of the time

it's not like it's easy to shoot out of the air

[torpid falcon]

So once you use your quick repair doesn’t matter where you try and go they just chase you and a few shots from that tv missile then a rocket launcher you die pretty quick

[pine roost]

Well it’s movement isn’t all that nimble, it’s got a very slow turn rate

And it’s got a bright light, just aim for the centre of that

As infantry I’ve managed to take quite a few out, but haven’t even tried tanks yet

[torpid falcon]

Yeah but unless you’re running the AA cannons it’s a bit hard to hit it

[green bough]

So stay out of range of the rocket launcher it has very little range

[torpid falcon]

You can hit some decent shots with the m5

You don’t always know when infantry are just creeping up on you

[green bough]

Not on moving targets

[torpid falcon]

You’d be surprised

If you lead your shot it isn’t too hard

Long as you’re not too far

[pine roost]

And there’s no angular damage bonus so it’s even easier

[upbeat sand]

vcar masterace

[fiery dawn]

what are you gonna shoot the missile down with though

[pine roost]

Is that the enemy from Kirby in a jack Cooper helmet?

[torpid falcon]

Yeah but the m5 with a couple hits to a wildcat and couple hits from the tv missile you won’t always survive

I mean sure you can survive it if you’re able to kill them but when there’s like a squad focusing you it’s a bit harder

[naive sandal]

Jeez radar missiles are so much better than the default ones for jet vs jet combat - often the flares don't even work against radar missiles even if deployed before the missile actually hits.

Is there a way to play as the Russian faction on the single player/coop mode - want to unlock the radar missile for the su57

[torpid falcon]

The tv missile will basically force you to use quick repair as it’s a couple shots to bring you down to around 60HP in the wildcat, maybe but less

[pine roost]

Chad missile enjoyer

[fiery dawn]

Yeah they really are. They do a lot less damage than the IR missiles but are more reliable

You can play solo/coop on Orbital and you always play as the Russians that way

[naive sandal]

Thanks man!

[fiery dawn]

no worries :)

[torpid falcon]

They’re changing the design of some maps next season aren’t they?

[pine roost]

Could you also create a solo portal match and just change the team you play on?

[torpid falcon]

Like adding more cover around objectives?

[pine roost]

Surely that won’t create an exp restriction

[pine roost]

Oh, you mean the great sandbaggening

[fiery dawn]

No it won't but if you add bots it will restrict xp. You can still get all upgrades and attachment unlocks and mastery to T3 though

[pine roost]

So simply adding bots restricts exp?

[green bough]

Yup

[fiery dawn]

Yeah it'll change it to exactly how solo/coop works with xp

so you may as well just do solo/coop cause it's faster to setup

[pine roost]

Huh

[torpid falcon]

Haha I’m not sure. I. Saw a video where they’ve added all this extra cover and changed some locations on maps and it looks so much better

[green bough]

Their also changing a few objectives

[pine roost]

Gimme a heli controls fix, jet bug fixes and fixed mouse input and I might just come back for a couple weeks

[fiery dawn]

better jet flight model too

[torpid falcon]

Like where they’re located or removing some?

[torpid falcon]

The flying in 2042 feels so different to bf5 planes and bf4 helicopters

[pine roost]

All the model really needs for it to playable is less drift, so a faster time to align your movement to where the crosshair is, and less drag when turning

[torpid falcon]

Bit too weird

[fiery dawn]

Yeah those two things would be huge improvements

[pine roost]

Bfv started to add those things but 2042 just seemed to have turned them up 10 notches

There’s a lot more glide than bf1 but it’s useable, and some planes went into a complete stall when turning

[torpid falcon]

Yeah I used to be a decent pilot with helicopters in bf4 but now I can barely fly

I’ve tried flying again but it just doesn’t feel right. Even with controller I still struggle to fly them properly

[fiery dawn]

honestly helis don't feel bad at all to me in this game

[pine roost]

Bf1 is one of my favourites when it comes to flying, it’s the one I learned to fly in. But bf4’s versatility and responsiveness feels so good

They became broken and bugged when 1.0 came out, I’m still waiting for that fix before delving back into them

[torpid falcon]

I haven’t given it enough time to really learn them but there’s some great pilots out there in 2042

[pine roost]

The thing is, they’ve been given an insane roll speed which is probably why you find them so strange

[torpid falcon]

Attack planes in bf1 were amazing. Loved flying them all the time and killing infantry. Was so fun

[pine roost]

As well as the delay between pressing w and actually going up

[torpid falcon]

Yeah that would make sense. I only ever flew planes in bf1 and flew helicopters a bit in bf4 so I haven’t given the switch to the new style enough time yet

[pine roost]

I love spraying infantry with the fighter cannons

In bf1 they became more accurate as you fired, now they spread to unimaginable levels

[rich solar]

Have any of you guys experienced being unable to see or join a friend in 2042 despite having done so a day before? I was playing crossplatform with my brother the other night and now my account doesn't see his, and he doesn't receive any EA friend invites

[pine roost]

Taking out a veteran pilot for the first time in a real dogfight was one of my proudest achievements

[torpid falcon]

Yeah it’s sad. Bf1 had some of the best flying I’ve ever played. I loved having the bombers just drop a fat load of bombs on you while you’re trying to cap and objective

The atmosphere in battlefield 1 was next level

[rich solar]

You loved that shit?

It was supreme ass

[pine roost]

I loved the versatility in the weapon options. Whereas bombs in 2042 boil down to ‘look in the general direction of enemy and click’, bf1 requires you to learn the trajectories and you could use them in creative ways

Fly high to damage a large area for less, or fly low to concentrate them on one spot

Heck, you could even bomb the pilot of another plane and make them toxic as hell

[torpid falcon]

Haha yeah man, made the game feel more immersive. Was an awesome time to be fighting infantry while you got bombers just blowing everything up

[torpid falcon]

Those little frag grenades the attack plane would drop after doing a strafing run, they were awesome haha. I remember they’d fly over you and just drop this load of frags on you

[pine roost]

I’ve got a clip where I start engaging someone on Monte grappe and a fighter just decimated him with rockets and it was incredible

That kind of atmosphere was almost there with 2042 but ever since they cut down the vehicle numbers it’s just never existed

[sacred wasp]

Ass?

[torpid falcon]

Did they cut down the number of vehicles in just exodus or both conquest and exodus conquest

[pine roost]

All of them

There’s now only a single attack aircraft available for either team

So dogfights literally never happen and people only play the infantry farming helicopters

[torpid falcon]

That’s sad

[fiery dawn]

yeah it's really disappointing

probably my biggest complaint against this game atm tbh

even in 128 player conquest

only 1 air attack vehicle :(

[pine roost]

I could come up with a few potential solutions that would at least be worth testing out

But the real problem boils down to the ability to choose which aircraft you want from a category

Because people would just go ‘why bother going anti air when there are so many more infantry to kill’

[fiery dawn]

jets obviously need to be separated from the helis category

[pine roost]

And the wildcat too I feel

[fiery dawn]

that's been said so many times and dice devs have even said "we like this idea"

oh yeah for sure but the wildcat also needs to be buffed to do better vs air

the way things are now, it's so much better when it's equipped as basically a secondary tank

[pine roost]

The more they reduced to air numbers, the more people just switched to anti infantry aircraft, which made it even worse

[pine roost]

Knispel showed that it can actually beat a tank

[fiery dawn]

it needs to actually be appealing to play the Wildcat as an AA tank

[fiery dawn]

Bro it's not just "actually can"

it's more like, "usually does"

I never lose to tanks in my wildcat

[pine roost]

A higher bullet velocity and uncapped turn rate for the turret would make it feel better

[fiery dawn]

it's stupid

[fiery dawn]

i agree

[pine roost]

I just haven’t used them so I couldn’t confirm from my experience :/

[fiery dawn]

but yeah the anti-tank missiles plus 57mm cannon just melts tanks instantly

I've never lost to a tank in a clean 1v1

it's not even close

[pine roost]

The wildcat should really be the dedicated AA, have it be it’s own category then you can be assured that there is always an aa on your team to deal with air units

[surreal portal]

Why are there no xp boosts on 2042?

[fiery dawn]

agree

[fiery dawn]

skill issue

portal exists

[pine roost]

The fact that you could potentially go an entire match without ever having an aa is awful

[fiery dawn]

it's not that there aren't AA options in the game, it's that they are boring and unsatisfying to play

nobody wants to sit in a bush as Rao and hack the enemy helo over and over just to have no one else helping you shoot it down

[pine roost]

In addition, like I Mentioned before, the more they reduce vehicle numbers the less wildcat players will bother going AA

[fiery dawn]

also true

[pine roost]

So it’s just become this snowball effect of their own doing

So yeah, it gets more boring to play and then people just don’t do it anymore

[fiery dawn]

yep

feels like Dice forgot about triangular balance

or rock paper scissors formula to be more clear

[pine roost]

The major thing that I personally believe was a major part of the game’s lack of balance is the idea that they wanted to provide as much player choice as possible

The whole vehicle thing is a prime example

Same goes for classes and the like

Now they are in a position where stripping back the options that vehicles have and changing their categories will anger the community because they will be removing ‘content’

[full burrow]

Until I unlocked the soflam I was quite limited in my tools against heli, now that I have it I use it a lot but it still requires others to try to make use of my paint

So then if I mark all enemy vehicles and no one gives a shit, it feels shit for me and also I’ve replaced my own c5 or m5 or AA

I find the liz rocket quite hard to use (havnt had much practise tho) (although there are very apparent hit box issues) and it will still require follow up from team

Also the laggy hit box of pilots in air vehicles makes it hard to shoot them out unless they are quite close

[pine roost]

I feel like the rocket is more balanced than i originally believed it would be

At first I thought it would be blatantly op, but since it’s slow and can be shot down it requires a bit more setup to use

[full burrow]

Yeah but removing her m5/aa just seemed like such a lazy nerf

[pine roost]

I’m against the whole open gadget thing so I’m honestly glad that was done

[full burrow]

Yeah but, oh no helis are running rampart, let’s add an OP who can counter them, oh wait let’s remove their other options tho, so your essentially replacing your anti heli tool instead of adding to it

[pine roost]

Another thing is that the helis are far more mobile in this game than past ones

[civic spade]

Exactly this

[vivid nacelle]

call me a madman, but thats what I do when defending honestly, whats needs to be done... but I have fun with the BSV with a long range scope in the meantime

[weak spade]

Guys help pls

Battlefield 1 or battlefield 5

[fiery dawn]

Yeah I mean some people don't mind doing it but it's still usually a boring task so most of the time no one will do it and then mr stealth heli gets to farm 80 kills for free lol

[pine roost]

I do it because the amount of instances where I see people complain about aircraft but do absolutely nothing to deal with them is insane, so most of the time if I see a heli I’d switch to a full anti air loadout and shut them down singlehandedly because you can

[bronze steeple]

Just nerf helies problem solved

[uncut bay]

i don't bother with AA because it's useless most of the time

i can count on two hands the amount of times i've taken down a helicopter by myself as infantry

either they're stupid and die, or they fly away and repair until i run out of ammo

and funnily enough, most pilots have the 3 brain cells needed to fly away and repair when hit

[pine roost]

I do agree with the flare cooldown being a bit too quick, and the duration too long

In 4, the flares only lasted for a couple seconds

But because they moved slower and turned slower, it was harder to get behind cover as quickly

[violet rapids]

I enjoy AA but yeah I do it with a team we use soflam 😬😬

[arctic grove]

👋

[surreal portal]

Did you guys know that you can’t heal tm8’s when they’re prone with Falck’s med pen thingy gun

[fiery dawn]

I don't think that's true

I do it all the time

[surreal portal]

Not when they’re prone. Just had a whole game where my bullets wouldn’t heal or even hit my tm8 even when I got it bang on

[tranquil turtle]

And the recharge was like 15 seconds 💀

[outer anchor]

You can do the dozer shield kills on solo !?

I thought they had to be done in multiplayer! !!

[tacit sphinx]

you can get to mastery t3 in solo/co-op on literally everything

so yes

[fiery dawn]

In your case, you can get up to 240 Ballistic Shield kills in solo/coop before you have to start doing it in multiplayer matches

T3 is the cutoff for mastery gained in solo/coop mode

As DrX previously stated :)

[lone wren]

I did some tanking earlier and I think i did well

Was accurate against moving targets

[fiery dawn]

noice

I learned that the Saiga 12 auto shotty with drum mags and short barrel is pretty fun

[tribal scroll]

Hi, is anybody encountering an issue where in game it shows EA Trial after the launch but you've owned the game since the launch + owning Game Pass which gives EA Play?

[fierce solar]

Am i the only one who never uses or liked playing with vehicles in bf ?

[fiery dawn]

Probably not

One of my main buddies I play 2042 with is an infantry only guy

[cunning breach]

are you americanrebel @fiery dawn

i bate that guy he always tries to votekick me from the wbsk hainan resort server

[fiery dawn]

like is that his username?

"americanrebel"

?

[fiery dawn]

yeah that's not me lol

my username is rebelsauce

[outer anchor]

oof dude , still painful af to get that many shield kills in multiplayer

meanwhile Mackay's mastery takes a few hours to do

[fiery dawn]

ikr

it's so weird how different each specialist T1 grind is in length

[wise tide]

Dead game

[fiery dawn]

L opinion

[pine roost]

I’m quite surprised by that, the fact that you need to get kills with it. I feel like requiring you to block damage would have made more sense

[fiery dawn]

Yeah that makes way more sense

Similiar to how Boris doesn't even need kills or assists with the turret

just damage dealt

[outer anchor]

the specialist that requires you to destroy rockets with its sentinel

that seems like an absurd amount too

[fiery dawn]

I wonder if they just didn't want to implement a system to track the damage being dealt to the shield

[outer anchor]

maybe getting kills while near your barricade or something

[hidden sand]

Problem is that helis have awful maneuverability in this game. You can't build up speed the way you can in BF4, which is probably why they made the duration so long. You wouldn't be able to get away otherwise.

Which is why relying on lock ons for AA is a dumb decision.

Would much rather lock ons be scrapped for better dumbfire AA.

Like the flieger.

[static tangle]

PLS FIX THE FPS OF GAME

[tacit sphinx]

it works with a bunch of different projectiles, a single sundance grenade can progress it like 5+ times lol

[full burrow]

hey guys what the 3 features portal modes atm

[tacit sphinx]

it's still a bit of a grind but it's pretty passive and it's actually beneficial to do

[full burrow]

anyone?

[compact wharf]

I agree with the FPS

Low or Ultra... same thing

I have a 3080 + 10900kf cpu

Why am I getting like... 30 fps?

I mean.. for fucks sake

This is my pc and I'm barely getting 30

https://valid.x86.fr/pfni67

My favorite is getting 15 fps in the end game accolades that used to have cringe voices

[next onyx]

What's your ram. Have you underclocked anything?

[compact wharf]

It's all in that link

Also no

[next onyx]

How many apps are running in the background.

Oh right.

[compact wharf]

None, just discord

[next onyx]

I've got a 3080 and a 5600x and I'm getting an average of 90 to 110.

This is very weird.

[compact wharf]

4k, everything ultra + rtx and dlss

[next onyx]

Ray tracing is most likely doing you in.

As well.

[compact wharf]

My system is literally built to make that stuff work

It was okay at launch, but recently.. it's been getting worse and worse

It's the only game that does it

[iron galleon]

Hello people of Battlefield, there is any info about if or when the Operation Metro will enter in Portal?

[compact wharf]

40fps in game

[next onyx]

I know they updated the cache.

Try disabling rtx, put dlss on quality and put it on high.

[compact wharf]

That's not fixing the problem

I don't want to lower everything... I have the specs and all exceeded.. so I can do all of this

Telling me to turn it off isn't a fix

[still vault]

You don't have the specs for RTX on 2042. Nobody do.

[next onyx]

I don't know further than that really. Rtx takes a massive toll on performance.

[compact wharf]

So you're admitting it's the game

[next onyx]

I get sub 60 with high rtx on.

Yeah the game is not too well optimised.

[still vault]

NVIDIA reflex is the main Nvidia tech in 2042.

Too much happening for raytracing.

[compact wharf]

Even nvidia geforce recommends it on with it's "optimize" setting

What is a orange symbol in the top left?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/966466622212677675/1001521732596805682/unknown.png

I turned off RTX and I have 40 fps in the menu

...what

[arctic grove]

I was getting around 100 fps before 1.1 on ultra with RTX on.. Even off now I get around 40-60 and it's annoying

[compact wharf]

Exactly my problem

[arctic grove]

It's the game that is the issue, telling people to lower settings fixes nothing, it hides the problem

On a different note, I am struggling with the multi kill challenge :/

[compact wharf]

There's a multikill challenge?

[arctic grove]

3 x multi kills with any explosive on the BP thing

[compact wharf]

Kill people with AA and in transports/tanks

[arctic grove]

Believe me I am trying haha I have blown up many a vehicle as Lis but they all only ever had 2 or less people in

[fiery dawn]

I got all mine by playing Mackay with C5 and hunting tanks

[arctic grove]

Will keep hunting

[fiery dawn]

👍

[hexed mango]

😎😎😎😎😎😎

now we can really match

besides wild cat i don’t have that T2

[fiery dawn]

lol yeah I switched out that badge for my Mackay badge so that I'll have all T1 badges again

Until I get something else to replace it

[solemn dagger]

Wich ammo is better for bsv-m subsoinic high-power / extended or high-power / extended?

[fiery dawn]

I think the best overall is the high-power extended mags. But if you're trying to be extra sneaky the subsonic high-power isn't a bad choice either

I always ran regular hp extended with close combat extended on hand for cqb situations

Why am I helping a VSS abuser

https://tenor.com/view/anime-cringe-rail-gun-レールガン-gif-5699149

[solemn dagger]

Well, in 9 of 10 times i die cuz of this weapon...

[fiery dawn]

Yeah I know... it's busted. I have T1 mastery with it and I hate it

[solemn dagger]

So I think I should counter them with thier own weapon

[fiery dawn]

Great thinking

Have at it

[outer anchor]

go do dm7 tier 1

youll uninstall the game

[fiery dawn]

So I've heard xD

[outer anchor]

its so hilariously bad

[fiery dawn]

I've used it a decent amount

It's really rough to use when there are multiple marksman options that far outclass it

[tame cobalt]

August update still not out

Common dice L

[fiery dawn]

lmao

[outer anchor]

were not even in august

[craggy onyx]

T1 skins mid

[runic urchin]

does dice have any plan for the jets?

[pine roost]

I hope so

[hexed mango]

imagine not having T1 F-35

[solar tinsel]

Yeah that's true. Although I did have a few good rounds with it the other day once I finally slowed down and paced my shots a bit

The DMRs are in a better place now, minus the BSV-M which I still think is just a bit too "good in all situations"

[hexed mango]

vcar is worse than dm7 tho

far worse

[solar tinsel]

honestly I like the VCAR more haha

but mostly because I can spam it ha

[hexed mango]

it does so much less damage and its just a finger smasher basically

[solar tinsel]

yes and me, without restraint, that helps ha

[outer anchor]

both are complete dogshit

[solar tinsel]

but now that I started calming down with the DM7 a bit, I was enjoying it, so I should give it some more love

[fiery dawn]

I use the VCAR close range actually

[solar tinsel]

yeah thats typically how I use it as well

[outer anchor]

why?

[fiery dawn]

My VCAR setup looks more like an MP7 actually

[outer anchor]

why not use a smg

[solar tinsel]

maybe mid-range is more appropriate to say, for me

[fiery dawn]

Because I'm stupid and like a challenge

[outer anchor]

its beyond me that they can leave those 2 guns in their current state after almost a year

[fiery dawn]

yeah mid range, close range, it's kind of up to interpretation

[outer anchor]

and they say they have hundreds of people working on the game

[fiery dawn]

but I'm talking about like within 30-40 meters

[solar tinsel]

I know they increased projectile speed for the DMRs, but it still feels slow sometimes

[outer anchor]

as long as the dmrs have bloom they will be useless

they are meant to be precise, semi auto

its pretty basic, yet they cant get it right

until then, ill use other weapons

I never used boris, I remember his turret being ultra op, but now its completely useless, is there no middle ground lol

[solar tinsel]

yeah I was surprised that swung as much as it did

I actually thought it wasn't too bad as it was originally. Annoying, sure, but it's defensive - point defense. it can't exactly move or go anywhere. So I'm surprised it got as many nerfs as it did

[fiery shoal]

i dont see why they didnt just copy bfv in terms of.... every aspect of weapon identity/balance

[solar tinsel]

I was wondering the same for aim assist, and how that got so bungled compared to previous games 😆 . Thankfully, ALLEGEDLY, it's finally being fixed in Aug patch

[fiery shoal]

imo its likely because of crossplay

id argue most titles with crossplay fuck over pc players with how strong it is

[solar tinsel]

so you think DICE opted to go the other way with 2042?

[fiery shoal]

i think dice opted to try to make 2042 balanced between controllers using aim assist and pc players

[solar tinsel]

well, thats what I'm saying, the aim assist on controllers is absolutely atrocious

[fiery shoal]

which likely means not having as strong of AA as compared to previous titles that didnt have to be concerned about it being fair

[solar tinsel]

I suppose, but that's the thing, it actually doesn't assist. What I've observed is, WHEN it decides to kick in, it doesn't actually gravitate towards center mass, it simply applies an aim speed modifier to slow down your movement

which is terrible because if you start to track someone left to right, at full strength, it kicks in and you can NEVER catch the crosshair up

[fiery shoal]

well yea.. theres different aspects to aim assist and of course different degrees as well

[solar tinsel]

it just felt like a lazy approach, to say: reduce aim sensitivity by a flat amount when close to a target

[fiery shoal]

aim snap, aim stick and bullet magnetism being the major 3

[solar tinsel]

yeah but usually a game will shift the aim TOWARDS the target, when seeing how sticky it should be

[fiery shoal]

if thats a lazy approach idk how else they are supposed to try to balance it, theres only so much you can do

[solar tinsel]

I'm just saying if I'm moving my crosshair towards a target, a magical resistance shouldn't be applied because "I'm close to a target! slower aim!"

[outer anchor]

why is there even aim assist

[fiery shoal]

yes, usually AA has strong aim snap, getting rid of it isnt lazy or a bad idea

[fiery shoal]

because controllers are inherently inaccurate

AA has been in fps games for decades now

[solar tinsel]

not talkin about snap, and snap doesn't even work from my observation

I meant when tracking, there is no sort of "center of gravity" that most games will use to help influence aim towards a target

[fiery shoal]

"it just felt like a lazy approach, to say: reduce aim sensitivity by a flat amount when close to a target"

this sentence is seemingly talking about the absence of aim snap

[fiery shoal]

thats aim snap...

well...

[solar tinsel]

isn't aim snap when you first ADS

[fiery shoal]

are you talking about when you ADS

[solar tinsel]

well yes, but specifically not just the act of aiming down sight and seeing where it snaps to

[fiery shoal]

ok so youre talking about stick and ONLY stick

[solar tinsel]

correct

[fiery shoal]

which suggests the lack of snap...

[solar tinsel]

I can't even comment on snap other than, I feel like it doesnt work ever

[fiery shoal]

"yes, usually AA has strong aim snap, getting rid of it isnt lazy or a bad idea"

so i was on the right page...

[solar tinsel]

right, I supppose so!

but again to make matters worse, say you're already ADS

and moving to a target

usually when you get close to that target, some sort of gravity-feel pulls you in. It doesn't perfectly aim for you, but typically helps weight you towards the target: so you catch up a bit easier if tracking behind, but don't as easily overshoot

I guess that would be the "stick" element

[fiery shoal]

yea aim stick

[solar tinsel]

In this case, the game doesn't even acknowledge the target center and what direction you're moving

it just applies a flat reduction in aim sens

so if a target is running left to right and you're behind and trying to track left to right

you can't catch up, and need to go back to hip and re-ADS again

Again, assuming full strength. I wound up turning it down a bunch where now I can typically make it

[small ember]

I don’t use aim assist since it throws aim off

[fiery shoal]

either sounds like you should turn up your sensitivity or its a bad implementation

[solar tinsel]

but my point is, aiming that takes you towards the target SHOULD be exaggerated, and aiming that takes you away SHOULD be diminished, and it doesn't consider that at all

I think it's the latter. I do generally play lower sens, in all fairness, but again, my aim speed REDUCES when Im close to a target

allegedly this is getting fixed in Aug patch

[fiery shoal]

ehh theres degrees to it, idk dices intentions but 2042 is the first crossplay game ive played where i dont feel consistently fucked over by console players with soft hack levels of aim assist

[solar tinsel]

but we'll see

[solar tinsel]

I can get that degree of frustration for console players, but it's also damn annoying to not be able to aim as easily when other games don't have that problem

I agree it needs to be balanced, but it does need to exist given the inherent differences in input

lets hope they get it right in Aug

[fiery shoal]

i hope so too

sadly im fully expecting a lot of console players to suddenly be killing me despite me having fairly crack aim

[solar tinsel]

I obviously dont want PC players to feel jipped

[solar tinsel]

well yeah that's the thing. hard to tell if it's due to assist, or just the fact that there are a lot of other players who might catch you not looking. PLUS there are typically more console players if Im not mistaken, if you combine both platforms

@fiery shoal This is the best example I could find qith a quick search: https://youtu.be/0Oc9jQbsyU0?t=77

[fiery shoal]

its a fairly complicated scenario yea, i just feel like its easier to give console players the advantage and just say "git gut" for pc players

[solar tinsel]

that explains the problem

See how as he gets close, it like suddenly slows down

but when assist kicks off it speeds up again

[fiery shoal]

yea, seems like the value are off and like theres either no or weak snap

[solar tinsel]

yeah, and like I said, I think rather than accounting for the difference between aim and center, they just slap a global sens. modifier

which is fine if a target isnt moving ha

and as you saw, the ADS there didn't seem to snap to the target either

[fiery shoal]

yea if i had to guess it was just dice trying to balance for crossplay but its not what any console players are used to AND causes problems with lateral movements

[solar tinsel]

yup

apparently that clip is with a higher sens. too

[fiery shoal]

all i know is that im glad im not a game dev, especially in terms of balancing

cant please anyone and its just a decision of who youre gonna fuck over

[solar tinsel]

ha, I can appreciate how that would suck, but it is a bit strange that they'd err on the side of purposely gimping an input type that already is inferior to M&KB

[bronze steeple]

You guys get a room

[fiery shoal]

because we are talking about aim assist in 2042 in the 2042 chat?

[hexed mango]

just dont worry about it

[fiery shoal]

depends how you look at it, like ive said i feel any other crossplay title has aim assist way too strong, so maybe dice "gimped" aim assist to make it more fair

[bronze steeple]

I dont mind but nobody gonne read your 30minute converstation

[fiery shoal]

no one told anyone to...

[solar tinsel]

nobody is saying you have to ha

[fiery shoal]

imagine getting mad people are using a chat room to chat...

[solar tinsel]

chat about issues and how they can be improved, no less!

maybe we just need to go back to "2042SUX" to appease the chat wars

[solid imp]

Please no. Those were dark days for awhile in these parts.

[solar tinsel]

haha ain't that the truth

[solid imp]

Fun sometimes. Even popcorn worthy at times. But no lol

[fiery shoal]

i do miss 2042 complaint bingo

and then people got really mad at that

[solid imp]

You did go toe to toe with a few on a regular basis haha

[fiery shoal]

i have a problem with not letting stupid shit go unchecked

[compact wharf]

^this

same

[fiery shoal]

my wife says stupid people is my only pet peeve

[fiery dawn]

[fiery dawn]

Extremely understandable

[fiery shoal]

i dont even consider myself smart, so its not like i have some pedestal for myself.. its just concerning how seemingly common stupid people are

[hexed mango]

https://2042.bingo.echology.page who says its gone

[sour meadow]

what's the best way to get explosive multikills

[still vault]

Rockets on choppers. C5. Etc. etc.

[calm bison]

Ive been playing 2042 via remote play recently

is it just me or has the game gotten sweatier

[sour meadow]

so vehicle weapons count

[calm bison]

cuz it seems a little that way

maybe im just a little rusty

haven't played for a month and half

[still vault]

if it explodes, it counts

[paper willow]

How do I add ps5 friends if I’m on Xbox?

[shadow arch]

oh and lets talk about the Moist meter video for bf2042

[calm bison]

what about it

the video was made nearly a year ago

it's kind of irrelevant in regards to current 2042

[arctic grove]

Do you guys play V more or 2042?

[calm bison]

Balance of both

it depends on how im feeling

I prefer the gameplay of V

[shadow arch]

🗿

[calm bison]

but 2042 is pretty fun at times

[arctic grove]

Battlefield V will die

🗿

[hexed mango]

morbin time

[calm bison]

I mean it has currently 5k players on it rn

The game is far from dying

its the most popular BF

It's 24 hour peak was 18K

and besides

BF4 is nearly 10 years old

and it's still active

also holy shit

[arctic grove]

Not on pc

That game dead af

[shadow arch]

stfu that meme is bad just like the film, its a hot pile of Vab fluid from an e-girl on tiktok

[calm bison]

currently there are 2k players on BF4 on steam

[hexed mango]

L opinión

[calm bison]

of course this doesnt include origin

[arctic grove]

It does?

[calm bison]

according to steam charts

[arctic grove]

I thought that shit was like 500

I’m thinking of hardline

I think

[calm bison]

yeah

hardline has 47 players rn

[arctic grove]

Lmao

[calm bison]

yikes

2042 currently has 4.5k players rn

BF1 has 2.3K players

If youre looking for a live game of Battlefield

go over to the consoles

[arctic grove]

I know

I get into matches quickly on 2042

[calm bison]

same

[arctic grove]

People claim it’s dead

Even though it’s not

[calm bison]

i hated seeing those reddit posts that were like "it takes me 2 minutes to find 128p conquest"

what version of 2042 are you playing

and do you have crossplay off

[arctic grove]

Series s/x

[calm bison]

thats the part of 2042 crossplay that hurts it the most

[arctic grove]

I think I have it on

[calm bison]

i have it on as well

[arctic grove]

Which is probably why I find matches

[calm bison]

it's not terrible to play

[arctic grove]

I was thinking of getting it on my pc

[calm bison]

BF Community: We want the next game to have crossplay!
2042: Has crossplay between all platforms, just like the players asked
Console Players: get fucking rekt by PC
Community: gets stuck with a problem they asked for
Community: Why does it take so long to get into matches with crossplay off?

[arctic grove]

I still destroy pc player s

[calm bison]

yeah

[arctic grove]

So

[calm bison]

i remember when the stealth choppers first came out and not everyone had countermeasures

it was fun

because i farmed bots

unashamedly

[left hollow]

People are gonna complain in everything lol

[calm bison]

oh totally

also is your PFP twomad?

[left hollow]

Yes

[calm bison]

interesting...

[arctic grove]

Trolls. Im glad to be able to play with pc players

[calm bison]

yeah

[arctic grove]

I got butt rapped

[calm bison]

until a sundance turns 180 degrees so quickly im pretty sure she gave herself whiplash

like goodness

[arctic grove]

The enemy got every sector

Team

[calm bison]

i dont think ive ever seen someone turn around so quickly

I have a nice sens of 38 on 2042 on series s

[hallow sierra]

just play on xbox one/ps4 if u dont want to play with pc players

[calm bison]

and thats quick enough for me

[arctic grove]

she* her proper noun is it*

[arctic grove]

Series s is a beautiful console

[calm bison]

fuck last gen. I played last gen and im not going back to that

[arctic grove]

And it runs games really good

[calm bison]

it does

[arctic grove]

Last gen 2042 is cancer

i bought a series x for 128 BT and its gone now

[calm bison]

the newest build of xbox allows for faster boot up times

[arctic grove]

Outstanding move DICE

[calm bison]

as if they werent fast enough already

[left hollow]

Series s Is so compact it's insane

[arctic grove]

Last gen 2042 reminds bo3 Xbox 360

[calm bison]

I bought a series S for more vehicles on 128 conquest

thanks dice

I was so happy because getting next gen 2042 meant i could get T1 for the F35 faster

[left hollow]

If I didn't have all of my friends on playstation id probably would've gotten the series s

[calm bison]

and now its evolved

just backwards

IMO what wouldve made last gen 2042 better

is if you had different map layouts for conquest

[arctic grove]

crossplay exists

[calm bison]

i think they mean PS4

[arctic grove]

oh

do what i did and buy gold edition for both versions of the game 🤡

[left hollow]

True but none of my friends even have 2042 lol

[calm bison]

i bought gold edition as well

worst $110 ive ever spent

[arctic grove]

Last gen is ass just like when bf4 for xbox360 was ass.

[left hollow]

Bruh

[calm bison]

2042 on next gen is so smooth its like an entirely different game

also wow

[arctic grove]

At least you got the futuristic cook Casper skin. Its Legendary

[calm bison]

weve evolved from hardline

[calm bison]

No thats the ultimate edition

[arctic grove]

oh shit u right

[arctic grove]

Hardline is underrated. Had good maps and ran smooth for last gen.

[shadow arch]

tell me one time Battlefield hardline, 3, 4, has had its fair Cvnt moments like, shitty ass worse things that happened in either one of the 3 games

[calm bison]

Hardline is better than BF4

I will die on this hill

it's more fun

better customization

and you can actually play all the base game maps

Hardline is one game im happy doesnt have a whole lot of players

because if it did

i wouldnt like it as much

[regal sphinx]

Is it possible to finish the challenges of the battlepass from previous weeks? I'm going on vacation soon. 🤔

[hallow sierra]

yes

[solar tinsel]

yup, with the exception of the "Bonus Challenge"

the bonus challenge is the only one time-limited to each specific week

[calm bison]

BF4 on console is cancer

these people are obsessed with siege of shanghai

BF4 on PC looks decent

because the people there know how to make servers

[regal sphinx]

Nice to hear!
Thank you!
I'm already at 82, so getting points is not a problem for me. 😄 👍

[solar tinsel]

yup! You're on very good pace for sure

[shadow arch]

How did bfv go from being a dumb Cvnt decision made by ea and dice in the release of bfv, to being treated like a normal game alongside bf1 and bf4, tell me @hexed mango

[sour meadow]

how many kills for a multikill?

[hexed mango]

why you asking me

[hexed mango]

3

[shadow arch]

idk, you ask me

[arctic grove]

Part of the reason is the fact that bfv was improved gameplay mechanic wise

it got better with time

but its nowhere near on par with bf1 & 4

[shadow arch]

what about the cvnts in the community that were being anti-feminist calling it inaccurate
