Siege of Shanghai moment

[acoustic island]

When all the 4 year olds knock it down within 2 minutes

Then leave and do it again

[tame cobalt]

Siege of Shanghai fans be like: "well it's worth ruining the map every time it's played because it looks cool the first couple times it happens"

If they bring siege back in a future bf game they should make it so you can't destroy the tower until the match is almost over

[ebon pilot]

or pull a breakthrough orbital and make it happen after a set period like the rocket exploding

[acoustic island]

Yeah

Like in the last 100 tickets it falls

Amazing ending to the match

[frank stratus]

how wide is your screen 💀

[ebon pilot]

32:9 5120x1440

[acoustic island]

He’s got the odessy g11

[frank stratus]

5k?

[ebon pilot]

i guess?

[ebon pilot]

there's a g11 now? shieeeet guess I gotta get that now

[upbeat sand]

i hope the dx errors and entire computer freezing gets fixed

next update

[acoustic island]

No lol just making a joke on how wide your monitor is

[ebon pilot]

well it is a Odyssey Neo G9

[acoustic island]

Niceeee

[ebon pilot]

my poor poor work laptop can't handle it too well

along with my vertical ultrawide

full screen screenshots are really funny

[acoustic island]

Sledgeshots

[tame cobalt]

Scar grenade launcher op

[acoustic island]

Fr

[next onyx]

It's irritating but the 40MM AP is really helpful.

But that's just how grenade launchers work in this game.

Thankfully they have a minimum arm distance now.

[tame cobalt]

It's already an op gun, and it has a free extra gadget with multiple ammo types? Op

[next onyx]

So let's get this straight.

The SCAR is very strong yes but it isn't "op"

[ebon pilot]

that reallly confused me when I tried hitting someone with one recently

it just bounced and I died

[next onyx]

The grenades are available on other rifles too.

[tame cobalt]

Scar op

[next onyx]

@ebon pilot Instead of sticking a grenade into a ranger I killed a soldier instead.

[tame cobalt]

Scar abuser detected

[next onyx]

By the way. The grenade instantly kills rangers on impact.

No matter what.

[ebon pilot]

does it now?

[ebon pilot]

i got tier 1 scar yesterday

[tame cobalt]

If @next onyx mains a gun, that's a good way to know it's OP

[ebon pilot]

now I'll never use it again

[acoustic island]

Still feel like they will 360 no scope from 100m away

[next onyx]

I only play with the SCAR because I like it.

[acoustic island]

But only when I’m at less than 20 health

[next onyx]

I like the actual platform behind it.

I thought it'd be abused more here but it isn't.

Which is weird.

The m5 and ak are still as popular as ever.

[acoustic island]

Prolly cause the bsvm exists

[next onyx]

Lol. @ebon pilot

Vss gets a 261< MS ttk within 150 metres.

That is ridiculous

[ebon pilot]

I'm... an all-rounder

and have a job

and play other games

[next onyx]

I sorta am here as well but I only enjoy the scar.

Yeah and i play other games too.

[acoustic island]

Woah woah woah your….. NORMAL? @ebon pilot

[ebon pilot]

now I didn't say that

[next onyx]

But whatever these stats. They're nothing in comparison to bf5's.

[acoustic island]

Nah bro get on that 15 hour day bf grind

[ebon pilot]

how you have like 100 hours over me

impossible

[next onyx]

I dunno.

I really do not know.

I'm enjoying the game more but I'm surprised I even had 100 hours when the game was in a shit shape

[acoustic island]

How do you check that

[ebon pilot]

#stats

[hexed mango]

https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf2042
or

[next onyx]

I lost all semblance of willpower after grinding for rank 500 on bf5.

Being the first in oce mind you.

[hexed mango]

i have almost double your playtime way but i bet im half as good

[tame cobalt]

[hexed mango]

mainly because you have double my kills

[tame cobalt]

I have half your playtime morbius but i bet I'm twice as good

[hexed mango]

i agree

[next onyx]

I just have more fun killing people.

So I just keep to exodus conquest and use my SCAR

[next onyx]

I've learned a lot from bf5 so it's where my habit comes from..

[next onyx]

I'm not as home but i have all my subbies and ar's mastered. Plus tier 1 lcmg and VSS.

[hexed mango]

lowkey crying at how shit i am

[foggy halo]

🤔

[next onyx]

Don't stress.

I focused a lot on improving midway on bf5.

You can do the same.

[hexed mango]

i wish

[foggy halo]

🤔

[bronze sand]

Is there an easy way to do quests? 😕

[foggy halo]

@hexed mangowhat's up

[hexed mango]

yes, do them.

[hexed mango]

nothing

[next onyx]

A lot of the habits I have learned are beaten into me. Echo. You notice patterns you make assumptions and sometimes they pay off.

[upbeat sand]

Easiest shit ever

[next onyx]

Three headshot in one life was pain.

[hexed mango]

ill try my best ig

[upbeat sand]

Better than Fortnite's shitty missions that have nothing to do with the core game

[next onyx]

I abused the VSS because with headshots it's a two hit kill in any range.

[hexed mango]

anyways time to go eat fruity pebbles cause yes

[next onyx]

Sounds good.

I'm drinking liquid petrol.

[acoustic island]

I used the k30 for headshots since it’s recoil does that at least for me

[next onyx]

@hexed mango on a scale of 1 to 10 how likely is this to give you a heart attack.

[humble crypt]

Im about to get on anyone wanna team up I'm on ps4 2042

[next onyx]

Give #lfg-playstation a look man. @humble crypt

[bronze sand]

I can't do the 3 hs in 1 life

[humble crypt]

It's dead 💀

[hexed mango]

11

[next onyx]

Vent energy in gym, yes?

[hexed mango]

indeed, although ive never personally been one for energy drinks

[bronze sand]

AI is killing me 😕

[hexed mango]

how it taste though?

[bronze sand]

lol I did the 3 headshots, just needed to complain 😕

[next onyx]

@hexed mango I'm not one for energy drinks either. This one isn't too bad thankfully. It's pink lemonade and I only drink it when i can't have coffee.

[hexed mango]

nice nice

pink lemonade is a nice flavor

[bronze sand]

Why can't you have coffee? 😕

[hexed mango]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

but i also usually have chai instead of coffee, just never loved coffee that much

[bronze sand]

I only drink coffee for the high 😕

[hexed mango]

damn

[bronze sand]

How are you supposed to finish the battlepass? I'm only tier 55 😕

[hexed mango]

play

[grizzled whale]

wait they actually fixed the c5 drones?

[hexed mango]

yeah in 1.1

[grizzled whale]

nice

[hexed mango]

so like almost a month ago >:)

[grizzled whale]

makes sense

[hexed mango]

hehehehaw

[grizzled whale]

havent played since completing the T1's

[hexed mango]

i see

maybe i should try actually T1'ing guns :(

@grizzled whale which gun do i start with

[grizzled whale]

m44

[hexed mango]

damn

[bronze sand]

What tier am I supposed to be in the battle pass? 😕

[grizzled whale]

100

[severe turtle]

how can i play this game.

[grizzled whale]

by buying it and playing it

[hexed mango]

lmao

[next onyx]

@bronze sand Blender doesn't work

"Why do you use a blender?"

Because bulletproof coffees

[bronze sand]

I just drink instant 😕

[next onyx]

By the way echo. Chai spice and vanilla is the best.

Yeah don't have a machine for it.

And besides. I'm in a country known for being coffee snobs so i must drink it properly.

[hexed mango]

lol

M44 = best sniper

[grizzled whale]

i never used it as a sniper, but once you get the hang of it its fun as a CQC weapon

[hexed mango]

what sight did you use

[grizzled whale]

the smallest red dot

can be really fun

[hexed mango]

el bozo

[ripe abyss]

does anyone know active the servers are in australia

[lone wren]

in portal they are active

there is one server that has quite a few

[gloomy wyvern]

This is why I hate the removal of Breakthrough - Exposure

The last 3 rounds I've been is Manifest

And people ask me why tf I hate it

[upbeat sand]

Breakthrough and exodus only

[ripe abyss]

ok thanks

[gloomy wyvern]

It has to be their servers because I shouldnt be dropped when I have 200mb up & down

[grizzled whale]

manifest best map

[foggy halo]

manifest is just average for bf2042

[gloomy wyvern]

its a miracle, after 10 constant rounds of that ass map i get orbital, my favorite

[grizzled whale]

manifest is the best map in 2042 easily, not counting exposure

[tame cobalt]

Might have been best if it's cq128 layout wasn't deeply flawed in how it flows from a strategic perspective

[grizzled whale]

its a proper balance between infantry and vehicles, theres a lot of room to hide from vehicles and theres places where vehicles cant even get to

[grizzled whale]

flows perfectly fine

[tame cobalt]

Not at all

But it is fun

[grizzled whale]

explain

[gloomy wyvern]

I can say after they fucked with Angel, ive actually touched other ops

[tame cobalt]

The battle is so heavily focused on the hill, that it takes so many resources to successfully have that sector, which results in the team with that sector not holding any of the other sectors

[grizzled whale]

thats so not true

[tame cobalt]

Always is

[grizzled whale]

thats pretty much never the case for me

[tame cobalt]

The team with b is always at the disadvantage in who has the most sectors

[upbeat sand]

I'm trying to use the attack hele more since the stealth feels boring just farming shit, little bird is an infantry only and the jet is a jet
Any tips on the attack heles

[grizzled whale]

yeah

crash into a tree

[gloomy wyvern]

xD

[grizzled whale]

and dont spawn in a chopper ever again

[foggy halo]

level s060 got farmed 😢

[upbeat sand]

I like watchig mags and tanks try to run as I smart rocket em

[gloomy wyvern]

I like it when I hit the magic time when you sit in Loading sims all day...reminds me of GTA

[grizzled whale]

haha nightbird go blap

[tame cobalt]

But flawed cq128 layout aside, manifest is def fun to play

[grizzled whale]

therse not layout flaw tho, just your team being trash

its never been an issue for me

[tame cobalt]

Orbital is pretty much best launch map for cq128, but manifest gets honorable mention due to sheer fun factor

[tame cobalt]

Def flawed layout

[grizzled whale]

skill issue

[tame cobalt]

It's not my team, it's the team that has B

Whether it's my team or not

[grizzled whale]

if you have a few good players defending B, you can still take the whole map

[tame cobalt]

[grizzled whale]

its a skill issue if your team cant keep any points when defending B

[tame cobalt]

Not my team

Every team

[grizzled whale]

every team aside from every team ive ever played in

ig

but yeah skill issue

[tame cobalt]

It's not that they can't keep any points, they just can't keep majority

[grizzled whale]

except when you have a good team

[tame cobalt]

Going for the two boats at the bottom is 100x better strategy than b

Single squad can hold those 2 sectors

[grizzled whale]

or, you take B and still take the ships, and spawn side points

easy

[tame cobalt]

And get sandwiched by other team getting side sectors

[grizzled whale]

skill issue again

[tame cobalt]

Kaleidoscope and renewal gets honorable mention for being fun on the points and a nice balanced layout, but the areas between points are bad

Renewal cq128 changes are pretty huge tbh

Entirely new overall layout

[finite skiff]

Lmaooooo

[grizzled whale]

renewal is literally the shittiest map

it has like 2 tiny infantry areas

the rest is a flatmap

[finite skiff]

Still crying cuz no levolution

[tame cobalt]

Yeah, that's what i mean with the areas between points

[finite skiff]

:(((

[tame cobalt]

Really bizarre how those areas are so big, flat, and open

[finite skiff]

I miss bf 4

[tame cobalt]

But the points themselves are actually pretty fun

[upbeat sand]

i miss 128 and i cant play it

[finite skiff]

Well, at least in this Bf there are bots

[upbeat sand]

mostly cause im tired of playing on the maps but there are only 3 objectives

[tame cobalt]

And i like the semi symmetrical layout of the 2 sectors on each side of the wall and the gate sector in the middle

The spaces between those sectors just need to be... Way different

But excited for renewal 2.0

The renewal of renewal

And just hoping the s2 map is as good as exposure

Can they get a home run twice in a row?

[empty peak]

Metro

[upbeat sand]

no

[tame cobalt]

64 player map

A 128 player redesigned metro with 2 "lanes" instead of 1 could be interesting tho

[empty peak]

I agree

[tame cobalt]

💯

But s2 map is probs gonna be a spiritual successor to hourglass

[spare quest]

hourglass 2

[clever rock]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvP_YAd-IEI

[tame cobalt]

Petition to rename Hourglass to Hour Ass

[flint rampart]

are servers down?

in EU

2/64 in lobby for 5 minutes

[tame cobalt]

I see almost no mention of hourglass in the map feedback thread

I hope the devs are aware that hourglass is everyone's least favourite map

[lusty temple]

Wall should've been destructible on renewal

Or at least some key sections

[tame cobalt]

Would've been kinda sick if the gate is the only entryway at first but you can make more by destroying it

[lusty temple]

Also how tf do you close the gates at that wall?

[tame cobalt]

But tbh, that wall is THICKKKKK, so the only reasonable way to destroy would be with some explosives placed at key areas along the wall

Explosives that are already on the map

But need to be activated

[lusty temple]

Can't even connect rao to those gates

[tame cobalt]

I think they just close automatically when the tornaro rolls through

[lusty temple]

I guess logically that makes sense?

[tame cobalt]

[lusty temple]

Like what will closing a gate do to stop a tornado?

[tame cobalt]

Lol

We should be able to manually open them, at least temporarily

Like have it close again after 20 seconds

[lusty temple]

Mf tornado when it sees a closed gate: "Damn I guess I can't get through now"

[tame cobalt]

goes through

[lusty temple]

Kinda feel ripped off since I'm playing the PS4 version

[tame cobalt]

[lusty temple]

I get half of the map

[tame cobalt]

Rip

[lusty temple]

Like seriously the breakthrough map on PS4 is as big as the kaleidoscope map on ps5

But we don't get the rest of the kaleidoscope map???

[tame cobalt]

Correct

The 64 player Kaleidoscope is kinda ass

imo most of the 64 player versions feel worse than the main versions

Manifest 64 player is actually decent tho

[next onyx]

It'd be nice if there was a proper version of Renewal 64.

Have A and C closer.

[tame cobalt]

#angel-appreciation-thread

[upbeat sand]

NOOOOOO

[sage oar]

Who wants to play BF1 with me

[karmic cobalt]

Angle is inevitable my friend

[tame cobalt]

Dread it, run from it... Angel still does it again

[last swift]

[sage oar]

I love bf1

[last swift]

Me too

[karmic cobalt]

Weird planes = bad game 😡😡

[hexed mango]

what would angel do if he snapped his fingers with all the infinity stones

[karmic cobalt]

He would…
Do it again

[tame cobalt]

Everyone would stop being sad

[hexed mango]

makes sense

[karmic cobalt]

Sounds right

[tame cobalt]

And commit happy war crimes

[grizzled whale]

why would he need the infinity stones?\

his power eclipses the stones

[little dust]

spent way too much time to get into a game.. played 30s.. and crashed.. q,p

[silk surge]

A....a....ANGEL DOES IT AGAIN snaps finger

All the specialists disintegrates one by one.

[hexed mango]

don’t be sad, reality is just often disappointing

[low timber]

Don’t be sad, this is just how reality works sometimes.

[silk surge]

Fucking love F-35.

[celest oar]

[grizzled whale]

noob

[tame cobalt]

Season 2 when

[full burrow]

is there a valid reason why you dont know the playercount of the game modes you are joining in AoW UNTILL you join the que

[undone bone]

[undone bone]

[lusty temple]

Tbh discarded sucks

[undone bone]

It's got some fun NTW-50 angles.

[tame cobalt]

Discarded can be aight

[lusty temple]

For PS4 you have to run from point a to c and then from c to a because there's like one guy camping somewhere in the zone while the entire team is focused on b

[tame cobalt]

Ps4 moment

[edgy oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/what-the-fuck-man-stressed-problematic-gif-15976565

[tame cobalt]

Reality is often disappointing... But don't be sad, this is just how it works out sometimes

[lusty temple]

Only use for transport condor is to kamikaze super hinds

Only way to beat them

[undone bone]

Does last gen use the reduced maps?

I forget

[lusty temple]

Yes

[undone bone]

That's why your experience is so bad with it

Honestly is a game that shouldn't have released for last gen

Like cp2077

[sharp marten]

Oh you play battlefield? Name every gun

[undone bone]

Video or it didn't happen

[sharp marten]

[lusty temple]

Don't know why they reduced kaleidoscope map since the latest gen's version of it is as big as our breakthrough map

[sharp marten]

[lusty temple]

Surprisingly ntw is the first gun that I have t1 mastery on

[undone bone]

It's fun to play with for sure

I t1'd the DM7 first though

Almost there with the NTW but I don't play very much anymore

[lusty temple]

Only complaint is when you're in close combat and there's 2 guys and no cover

Can kill one but God the reload

[undone bone]

Ye, it's a very cover dependent gun since you need to play around the large cocking time of the rifle.

[lusty temple]

Very satisfying when you kill multiple with one bullet tho

[undone bone]

Makes it more fun imo. I love the shot, duck then pop out to shoot again

[lusty temple]

I remember when it wasn't a one shot kill with amor

[undone bone]

It one shots through armor now?

[lusty temple]

I mean before it couldn't

[undone bone]

I never realized they buffed its infantry dmg.

[upbeat sand]

When your trying to listen to the radio for extra 2042 lore but you get a headache commercial insetead

I mean a god dam (not) Panadol ad in the 2042 files

[undone bone]

The way they talked about the lore and how they wanted to build upon it I was hoping we'd see seasonly changes to maps we already have.

[mild crystal]

Adding vots to this game is the worst decision they made

Bots

[full burrow]

I thought the opposite when I heard about the hiring more people for lore thing

[tacit sphinx]

salty because you got tbagged by a bot

[full burrow]

this is a shooter game, concentrate on gameplay, lore is just a bit of fluff, all the big companys want so lore that the customer base has something to obsess over

[undone bone]

Honestly should've been coded this into the bots. I'd have thought they'd be worth it just for that.

[full burrow]

instead of focusing on gameplay

[mild crystal]

I dont play the game

I just hate that they added bkts

Bots

[tacit sphinx]

in the beta they used to lmao

[undone bone]

Lore is something that keeps a decent chunk of gamers invested in a series/game. Especially when it comes to live service games. Albiet they shouldn't sacrifice gameplay for lore

[upbeat sand]

Mmm Juicy lore

[tacit sphinx]

ok so why do you care

and why are they bad

lol

[mild crystal]

Cuz this is meant to be a battlefield game

And its far from it

[undone bone]

They were honestly needed when we were peaking at like 2kish max daily players.

[chilly jacinth]

it says battlefield when i launch the game

[undone bone]

And help to start games without a full lobby

[mild crystal]

I wonder why

[chilly jacinth]

im pretty sure its a battlefield game

[upbeat sand]

adds bots NOT BATTLEFIELD
What about the specialists
The maps
The gadgets
Bla bla bla of everything to complain about

[lusty temple]

The rocket exploding on last gen barely causes any lag which is surprising

[mild crystal]

Bf4 still has more players than this lol

[tacit sphinx]

it’s just nice to have something to fill out those stale lobbies that kinda fall out of matchmaking

[chilly jacinth]

bf4 has alot of empty servers

[undone bone]

Not sure how many peeps play 4 on origin but:

[mild crystal]

Thankyou for further proving my point, absolute moron

[chilly jacinth]

with fake player numbers

[upbeat sand]

Well

[tacit sphinx]

which happens in any game even at peak players

[mild crystal]

On ps it still has lots of full servers

[undone bone]

Chill, please.

[tacit sphinx]

your point of you’re salty about a game you claim to not play or care about

lol

[upbeat sand]

Aright if you don't like the game then don't play it

[undone bone]

So does 2042 for XBL. So not sure what you're getting at

[mild crystal]

You guys seem salty im saying facts about a game u like

That isnt battlefield but is called battlefield

[tacit sphinx]

a few months late to try and get meaningless internet points by saying “game bad” lol

[mild crystal]

Stay mad

[chilly jacinth]

why isnt it battlefield?

[undone bone]

Disproving your statements isn't called being salty. You're the one whos actually getting mad at people.

[tacit sphinx]

i don’t think anyone is mad here except you, it’s just funny

[upbeat sand]

Aright that is your opinion that the game is bad and I can see why buut why are you here complaining instead of playing something you like/

[mild crystal]

Didnt really disprove it, he gave additional points on why its not a bf game lol

[lusty temple]

More in depth large building levolution destruction should be a focus that can draw people in

[mild crystal]

Which i agree with

And bf4 is still better and popping on ps

[undone bone]

@mild crystal Literally disproving what you'd said then you gave a one off anecdotal statement.

[tacit sphinx]

so anything that changes from [insert your favourite title] isn’t a battlefield game

basically

standard approach tbh

[undone bone]

Watch them release like Hardline 2 next and have people get even more upset.

[mild crystal]

The games gnna die, enjoy playing it till it does hahaha

[chilly jacinth]

id like hardline 2

[upbeat sand]

Then play bf4

[undone bone]

We will 😉

[upbeat sand]

If you like it

Play it

[undone bone]

Me too, loved the bank map in hardline

[upbeat sand]

No one is stopping you

[undone bone]

Jumping over the ledge of the parking garage to rush the bank was 🔥

[upbeat sand]

Improvised gun

[chilly jacinth]

grappling hooks and ziplines

my beloved

[foggy halo]

The game needs more vehicles slots

[upbeat sand]

WHEN IS THE AMERCIAN DREAM RETURNING

[undone bone]

[upbeat sand]

Give me the amercian dream

[undone bone]

Did they not remove some vehicle slots due to vehicles dominating the large maps

[lusty temple]

Being tank player rn kinda sucks I bet

[chilly jacinth]

dont need more vehicle slots when stealth helis can wipe lobbies solo

[undone bone]

If anything I'd like to see a mechanic that prevents a single player/group from hogging the vehicles the entire game.

[upbeat sand]

That reminds me what is wrong with people
People use the AA as an anti tank and people use the tank as an anti air

[lusty temple]

Vehicle fuel system?

[foggy halo]

@undone bone hardline was very underrated

[undone bone]

Honestly just a system that prevents users from sitting in pre-deployment and spamming for their vehicle. Make it so that after x times of a user getting a particular type they can't spawn it again until someone else has.

Wouldn't be needed for transport vehicles really

[lusty temple]

Super Hind is still an op vehicle in last gen tbh

[foggy halo]

I really don't understand how people enjoy playing inf in this game

[upbeat sand]

Main reason it died was only cause cops and robbers

Also the broken rpg soooo

[lusty temple]

I lasted 30 minutes piloting that thing on open maps

[undone bone]

I've always enjoyed how playing against vehicles in bf feels. Adds an obstacle to play around. My only real issue with 2042 is Boltes

[lusty temple]

Boltes are barely used when I play

[foggy halo]

same

[upbeat sand]

They should make a non fighting little bird that is sort of like the transport hele in bf4

[lusty temple]

Usually aa vehicles are the main ones I see

[upbeat sand]

Pretty much give the little bird 2 mgs on the side and remove it's front guns

[lusty temple]

That's basically the beta version of super Hind but without it's cannon

[upbeat sand]

But faster cause little bird

Like a speed transport that really gets you places quickly

[lusty temple]

I feel like while it seems like a really good somewhat harmless vehicle, there's the matter of how does it combat other air vehicles

Like aa missiles maybe?

[solid imp]

I've been suggesting this for months... Take the 50 off the condor and the hind, they keep the miniguns, and expand the passenger seats out by 6 or 8 slots, keeping the two door passengers who can do stuff.

[upbeat sand]

It's pretty much like how heles where fought against in bf4 where the passengers shoot 'em with the mg

At 12000 rounds per hour

[arctic grove]

window resizing issue is still there

wtf are the devs doing

i bet there are only 5 people working on this game

[undone bone]

[arctic grove]

i dont think im the only one with this issue

[tawdry wagon]

Hi all - I was a big fan of BF3 and 4, thinking about picking up 2042 on PC. Does it have a lot of chaotic close quarters combat like 3 and 4 did? Also how is the population? Lively?

[white dagger]

3 Headshot kills in one life. Oh dear god that’s gonna take ages

[foggy halo]

people don't do stuff in this game

[foggy halo]

because the maps are bigger there's much less close quarters chaos. idk about the population since I play only in the evening.
you will not like this game if you are looking for close quarters chaos.

[copper fulcrum]

Use an SMG and aim for the head

[upbeat sand]

4-6k players on steam alone but for cqc best way to play is nothing but breakthrough on the map exposure

[white dagger]

SMGs suck imo. I don’t use them. I’ve only used the SMG once to get 10 kills and then put it away immediately. I don’t like them. I will try it with a sniper rifle

[upbeat sand]

Pbx>mp9

[glad mulch]

Do you guys agree that there should be more jets allowed? Having only one attack helicopter in each team is good, but I believe that jets wouldn't really mind ground forces.

[arctic grove]

no no no

dont buy it

forget about it

no it does not have

[next onyx]

@white dagger Use the busted ass VSS. Two hit kill if you hit the head. Simple that way.

[edgy oriole]

you love to see it

[solid imp]

I love doing stuff ❤️

[white dagger]

That’s a good idea. That thing is a really strong weapon

Maybe already too strong

[next onyx]

Yeah it's too strong.

[small ember]

Needs a heavy nerf since it’s all three weapon types in one

[tame cobalt]

Are u color blind

[edgy oriole]

nop

[tame cobalt]

so u just enjoy making the ui ugly?

why enemies green

[edgy oriole]

green to see enemy better and a darker color for teammates so i dont pay attention to them.

[tame cobalt]

Red is the most eye catching color tho

[edgy oriole]

green pops more. red blends in too much

[summer wing]

I did that by playing BF3 Rush and using the Sniper on the Attacking side

[foggy halo]

Nice

vehicle mains friend

[tame cobalt]

L

[foggy halo]

so tanks will be much easier to destroy?

[tame cobalt]

Good

[calm bison]

Day 200 - the community still largely hates the game

[tame cobalt]

Skill issue community

[calm bison]

Exactly

[fervent prism]

Is BF42 down for people?

nvm

[jovial quest]

Lol

[silk surge]

Loving this week's FNB mode.

[iron delta]

If you buy yourself through the Battlepas, do you get the BP points as well? Do the points calculate toward your Season Badge?

I have accumulated 1000 BFC throughout the BP.

I can skip a few levels, so lets say if I skip 5 levels, will I get the the 50 Points for those levels assigned to my total BP points?

[low timber]

No idea, but I’d think no.

[hardy crow]

Same.
Played a bit this morning before work.
MVP most kills 6 matches in a row.

[tame cobalt]

Caspian border 2042 is kinda ruined with the vehicle balance issues

[foggy halo]

Caspian border is the best map

True bf experience

[frank tartan]

is it against the rules to vehicle waste

[tame cobalt]

Ya it's good

[foggy halo]

Other maps should add more vehicle slots so they’ll be like that map

[tame cobalt]

No

Which optics give scope flare?

[hardy crow]

6x and above for sniper rifles
and marksman I think

[silk surge]

I was MVP in almost every match as well. Except for this one time when the enemy team had a guy who was even sweatier than me.

I think our nemesis score was at like 5-12. He DMed 'GG' when he left.

[tacit sphinx]

if it works like bfv's tier skips, no

it had effectively two ranks for each chapter, the reward tier and the progression tier, getting skips didn't affect the progression but it would increase your reward tier (complicated way of explaining it i realise)

[tepid agate]

Chill it's just a badge no need to give them money anyways 😅

[frank tartan]

sweet

[iron delta]

Won't give a penny. I have 1100 just from playing the S1.

[tepid agate]

Same here. I haven't used any currency yet

I was literally spamming redeploy during breakthrough yesterday once I compleated weekly missions 😅 speeds the matches up

[arctic grove]

imagine paying these scammers extra money

lmao

this is fucking triple A game

and they want to push mtx stuff?

they can fuck off

[sharp marten]

What are you upset about?

[arctic grove]

mtx in 60€ game

[fiery shoal]

no paid for dlc...

[full burrow]

can we please have AOW modes show the playercount?

you cant see if its 64 or 128 until you que

[edgy oriole]

im pretty sure its all 64 now. conquest might be 128 idk tho bc i dont touch that trassh

[full burrow]

no the exposure conquest is 128

[edgy oriole]

so just exposure cq is 128?

[arctic grove]

at least it was guaranteed content

[full burrow]

not sure

[arctic grove]

and now they just abuse live service model

[fiery shoal]

i mean sure... but just using bfv as an example, to get all the maps we got for free in that game we would of had to pay some 45 bucks

[fiery shoal]

abuse? mmmmk i see the victim card coming

[arctic grove]

look at bf5

and its live service

it was trash

even worse than trash

[fiery shoal]

the only complaint was slow content and a couple of meh maps...

[arctic grove]

why because "muh live service"

[fiery shoal]

most people loved pacific and most of the maps that came out

[arctic grove]

live service works only in csgo, fortnite and lol

[fiery shoal]

lol ok

outside of sp only games just about every game has a live service aspect to it.. but sure... you lie to yourself

[arctic grove]

do you call patches live service?

or ocasional updates

wow adding one new thing isnt worthy to be called DLC

[fiery shoal]

if youre questioning what live services are....

[arctic grove]

constant content drops

over time

[fiery shoal]

you say constant like theres a defined timeframe and quantity of content to come to justify live service... thats just not the case

[fiery shoal]

hell even NMS drops content like once every 6 months, thats still a live service

[tame cobalt]

Poggins

[full burrow]

also my portal page still doesnt load

[arctic grove]

are the updates min. 5gb large?

if not then they are simple updates

and patches

[fiery shoal]

... content, updates, or patches arent defined by their file size... wtf

[arctic grove]

they are

[tranquil turtle]

go back to cod if you want huge bloated updates]

[tame cobalt]

Breakthrough is 64
Conquest is 128
Exodus conquest is 64

[arctic grove]

never played cod in my life lmao

[full burrow]

yeah I just checked aow, im loading in

[fiery shoal]

right? every cod patch is like 5gb, guess they get content all the time by his metric...

[full burrow]

but for maybe months now my main portal page is just dark

[arctic grove]

if you know how to code game then you dont need to update your binary every single time

[full burrow]

can hover over the featured modes but cant see them lol

[fiery shoal]

its like different games have different file sizes too

[tranquil turtle]

you do

you must recompile your code when you release an update, assuming code was modified

[fiery shoal]

the entirety of valheim is about a gb, guess all of valheim only counts as a patch

[tranquil turtle]

valheim is only a gigabyte wtf?

[fiery shoal]

every games before 2000? just a patch

[arctic grove]

or youre big brain and split code

have you ever heard about .dll

or .so on linux

[fiery shoal]

raizens logic is probably the absolute worst ive seen in a long time

[tranquil turtle]

those are compiled binaries

if you split the code into separate files you still have to compile those

[fiery shoal]

it was less at launch, but im sure its around 1gb now

[arctic grove]

would you rather update binary that is 20gb large or single dll that is max 500 mb?

also thats why goldsource and source is based

[green bough]

Damn there really should be a #specs the amount of time I see people talking about specs in this chat is insane

[arctic grove]

bcs they use dll s

[tranquil turtle]

binary is just a bunch of object files put together via a linker

therefore by updating one dll you update the entire binary

[arctic grove]

no

if you can code?

have you ever heard about modules

[tranquil turtle]

I can

[full burrow]

how do use liz rockets better?

[tranquil turtle]

modules my ass

[full burrow]

I click when its beeping but it doesnt blow

[tranquil turtle]

C++ just links files together

once they are compiled

[spare quest]

seems like you don't understand how the rocket works

[arctic grove]

why making big large shit when you can make thing that loads different dlls

and then problem solved

example source engine

has client.dll and server.dll

and it fucking works

Valve knows how to make good shit

[chilly jacinth]

it explodes on impact

[arctic grove]

ah and source was released in 2004

[full burrow]

I thought you could explode it when you are near

[chilly jacinth]

and self destructs and does no damage after it runs out of fuel

[arctic grove]

does bf 42 run on frostbite 4 or 5?

[full burrow]

anyway I just got better at tracking with it and got a few direct hits so hopefully il be ok now

[chilly jacinth]

beeping just means youre close to the target

[tranquil turtle]

then the file size is just split amongst the dlls

[arctic grove]

yes but still you have the benefit of updating single file and not whole binary

[full burrow]

I want to like breakthrough more the games are generally so quick

take a few points and over, not much back and forth

[tame cobalt]

Exposure and orbital and manifest best cq128 maps

Hour-ass worst

[arctic grove]

kaleidoscope is 6/10

imo

[full burrow]

I generally play conquest 64

[arctic grove]

or maybe bcs i love urban maps

[tame cobalt]

Kaleidoscope is pretty fun in cq128 imo

[arctic grove]

^

64 variant is werid

[fiery shoal]

just dont go to the desert area

[tame cobalt]

The layout is pretty good and the points are decent to fight on, and the whole thing has this "battlefield playground" feel

[fiery shoal]

unless you are a vehicle, as infantry stick to stadium or rooftops

[arctic grove]

stinky

[tame cobalt]

But yeah the 64 version plays pretty shit

[full burrow]

hourglass is just baaad

[foggy halo]

128 players mode 😐

[foggy halo]

Me2

[foggy halo]

Lmao no

[edgy oriole]

discarded is the only map rn jfc

ive been canceling queue for 5 minutes bc of discarded

[fiery shoal]

discarded is good though...

[violet meteor]

Is good

[edgy oriole]

idk whats going on today, but ive been having issues on it. reload not working. parachute spawning me into the ground. triple climbing something that i could jump over. im over it

nothing more i love than reloading my gun just so it will start reloading again right after.

[hidden sand]

64p layout is absolutely not good

[fiery shoal]

i dont think its bad, though i do just stick to the ship 90% of the time, wish they had used the water town area

ship and water town in discarded are bangers though

[edgy oriole]

i also hope next update they make it so both teams have same amount of vehicles too. the more i play the more it doesnt make sense. why defend with a jeep when the enemy team gets 3 jeeps, 2 armour transport and helo.

[violet meteor]

Exposure, discarded and renewal are my go to's

Each offer a little bit of everything to me

But exposure is def their best yet

[fiery shoal]

i still like manifest the most

[edgy oriole]

they only have exposure cq this week so i cant play exposure 😦

[fiery shoal]

so much verticality and cover, damn good infantry map

[tame cobalt]

Discarded underrated cq128 map

If u don't like it you're playing it wrong tbh

[tame cobalt]

tru, manifest is pretty much the infantry map

[fiery shoal]

i think most maps that people generally dont like has to do with points being far and inbetween they are a bit empty, i just abuse spawn beacons

[tame cobalt]

yeah like renewal is a big offender in that regard

[fiery shoal]

i do think renewal is just bad for other reason though, dessert side is almost always disregarded

[tame cobalt]

With the current layout and flags it would've been good if it wasn't so far apart and empty and flat inbetween

[edgy oriole]

i started not liking manifest when they took out the first 2 points. manifest used to be my fav map

[fiery shoal]

80% of people always at center point

[fiery shoal]

i should clarify im talking about conquest 128 as an infantry player

[tame cobalt]

But that's kinda why it's disregarded

[fiery shoal]

i think the points themselves are rather boring too though

[edgy oriole]

ah i dont know anything about that then. lol

[tame cobalt]

Too big and empty between those points

[tame cobalt]

The mountainside sector can be quite fun imo

[fiery shoal]

yea if im spawning green side thats where i put my beacon

you can force a lot of fights there that way

[tame cobalt]

Noice

Yeah that's a good strat

[fiery shoal]

since i can normally fight off a few people solo i like to go to the enemies "gimmie" points and just annoy the shit out of them

[tame cobalt]

Lel

[keen loom]

[fervent prism]

Point and Shoot

Thats really it

[tame cobalt]

Parachute c4 is such an op strat

[edgy oriole]

find out what faction is attacker and always choose that

[fiery shoal]

pc?

[tame cobalt]

How would u like them to expand on operation metro to make a new cq128 version for 2042

Many possibilities... Could make it 2 lanes next to each other instead of 1 lane

Or add another layer on top of the existing one

Or below

Or make like a siege of shanghai type area above it

Or grand bazaar type area

Exposure is an all time great bf map

[fiery shoal]

thinking about it i would like 2042 to basically be exposure...

multiple layers, open in some areas, funneling in other areas

[tame cobalt]

It definitely sets the baseline of what cq128 should be like on average

The scale and variety

That actually works

[lone void]

Why does the melee collision not exist

[inland kiln]

new update and shit's fucked again, the firing without pressing any buttons is back

I really wonder why they can't fix a bug that's been present since launch

[edgy oriole]

Ive never even heard of this bug

[fiery dawn]

Me neither

[spare quest]

I remember this bug, haven't seen it in a long time tho

[tame cobalt]

2042 is underrated tbh

[loud flower]

so I tried playing some BF42 again
for old times sake I suppose
and I forgot why I left in the first place
until I felt the violent compulsory need to do unspeakable and painful things to some c*nt who tbagged me
and here I thought CoD players were toxic
because never before have I seen so much tbaggers in a game
in years of CoD, I can count tbaggers on two hands
but in BF ? oh god why

[tame cobalt]

Lol why so serious

Tbagging is funny

[sour meadow]

ayo my performance dogshit

[loud flower]

fuck no

[tame cobalt]

Only because you're taking it seriously

It's a joke

[sour meadow]

ryzen 7 3700x and an rtx 3070. 60-70fps on valpairaso

[loud flower]

have some respect to the enemy
tbagging is the exact opposite
a joke my fuckin' arse yeah

[tame cobalt]

Cope

I always laugh when someone tbags me

It's all in good fun

[sour meadow]

anyone else's performance awful

[tame cobalt]

Nah, console master race

[mental delta]

Stockholm syndrome

[fiery shoal]

if anyone teabags me i just make it a mission to kill them, dont really think of it beyond that

[sour meadow]

can't hear you over capped 60 fps

[edgy oriole]

well if your performance is awful you are below 60

[tame cobalt]

Can't hear you over "anyone else's performance awful"

[mental delta]

Can't hear you over BF2042 awful game players

[tame cobalt]

Yo

2042 is pog

[inland kiln]

this explains why you find tbgagging funny I guess

[mental delta]

No it's not

[fiery shoal]

he has a point when a 500 dollar console is getting 60 fps vs computers that JUST the gpu costs that much that arent

[loud flower]

oh god here we go again
who tf is the buffoon who started a pcVconsole argument

[tame cobalt]

Did yall see that player card with the skull of some animal

I wonder if that could be a tease of some upcoming map set in africa?

It has a lion in the reflection

I doubt they made those assets just for the player card

[mental delta]

Lmao wtf ? Africa isn't the only continent to have animals

[tame cobalt]

@mental delta

[restive marten]

BF V or BF 2042?

[fiery dawn]

2042

[cunning breach]

pick battlefield v over battlefield 1

bfv best bf game ever

[mental delta]

There are several cards with soldiers items we can't get in game so it would be surprising to me

[edgy oriole]

id say bfv pacific was peak battlefield.

[cunning breach]

then you say the trutth

[restive marten]

So in general, bf v >> bf 2042?

[fiery dawn]

It’s a matter of preference.

[restive marten]

Best way to put it @fiery dawn

I want to get 2042 but cant lol

Recently been seeing it and it looks really good

[fiery dawn]

Why can’t you get it

[tame cobalt]

As someone who wasn't there for pacific, what exactly made it so great?

[spare quest]

boats

[tame cobalt]

Cuz like yeah, tropical storm is a poggers conquest map, but idk if it's like the greatest thing of all time

And wake island bfv is said to be a downgrade from other wake island versions

[fiery shoal]

pacific was probably the most content in the shortest amount of time and the maps were all generally well received

[tame cobalt]

What I'm confused about is the "bfv wasn't good until pacific and then it was amazing" sentiment

[tame cobalt]

[fiery shoal]

"bfv wasn't good until pacific and then it was amazing" pretty bs statement, it was good but pacific just felt like a relief

[tame cobalt]

Nah I'm calling it now, we're getting an africa map

[fiery shoal]

before it there were really weird choices for game design (universal +1btk for example), and a lack of maps and weapons

[tame cobalt]

[topaz crown]

Iwo Jima on 2042 anyone? That cave bit 😍

[fiery shoal]

the cave was awesome

[mental delta]

Ok time for a bet, if the next map isn't in Africa

You have to get banned

[tame cobalt]

[mental delta]

I am joking

But more seriously

It won't be Africa

[topaz crown]

Best place that was

2+ maps per season?

[edgy oriole]

cape town 2042 map would be cool

[hardy crow]

Wonder where the next specialist will be from.
Maybe somebody from South America.

[mental delta]

No, it's 2 weapons per season, not 2 maps lol

[edgy oriole]

it may be too much like exposure tho now that i think about it

[topaz crown]

Can't believe I forgot the map with the market in BF3

[mental delta]

Grand Bazar

[topaz crown]

I want 2+ maps and more weapons xD

[edgy oriole]

i want maps. anything else is just extra

[topaz crown]

Omg, great map

[mental delta]

Me too, 2 weapons isn't enough, the game has been disappointing to me since it's release

[hardy crow]

A map like Grand Bazaar would be great.

[mental delta]

One of the best

[fiery shoal]

i want a map a month, thatd be dope

gives time to learn the map but its a good pace

[mental delta]

Yeah but there's no chances we get one

[hardy crow]

A map a month would never happen

[next onyx]

1 map per season with 2 portal maps per season would be nice.

@fiery shoal Oiii, Imagine Seine crossing.

[edgy oriole]

a map a month would be crazy tho. theyd be working to the bone

[next onyx]

They were inspired to do rotterdam because of Seine.

[hardy crow]

Damn I'm getting BF3 nostalgia now

[topaz crown]

Absolutely, I'm enjoying Exposure BT and Conquest, if we get more of that style I'll be happy along with more guns

[topaz crown]

Operation Metro, please

[mental delta]

Yes me too, at this point we are all getting an overdose from Exposure

[next onyx]

I'm kinda jamming on Exodus conquest.

As limited as it is.

It's just fun.,

Actual good maps.

[mental delta]

Yes more weapons more than everything else

[next onyx]

I can actually concentrate on killing people not worrying when x will end.

Actually learn the map too.

I feel more familiar with discarded more than ever before as a result.

Well, Mostly around A, B and C lol.

[topaz crown]

When is the solider animations?

[grizzled whale]

@mental delta hey pssssst

[mental delta]

[topaz crown]

I wonder if we'll ever get that system again that BFV had, where you can call that massive bomb

[arctic grove]

amongies in battlefield 2042

[hardy crow]

Few things more satisfying than blocking a stealth heli's bombs with Irish

[arctic grove]

wot

[edgy oriole]

i think reinforcements should be a permanent thing

[arctic grove]

is it possible?

[hardy crow]

Yep

found out about it a couple weeks ago

[arctic grove]

dont tell me these devs just coded irish device to catch every singe explosive projectile

wow

[quiet adder]

Need 128 player breakthrough again man

[arctic grove]

laziness 999999

[topaz crown]

On Exposure, I'll be interested in this

[hardy crow]

Irish can't stop recoiless, Lis' rocket, or tank shells

[topaz crown]

Get Paiks T1 skin :)

[quiet adder]

Yes would be great to see

[arctic grove]

yea right forgot

[hardy crow]

Irish can stop the missiles and projectiles from the passenger weapon pods though

[arctic grove]

lmao

and these devs work on triple a game

wow

[dusk fern]

Anyone else showing 0 total xp earned at end of round? On a ful xp portal server

[arctic grove]

i bet

everyone who knows how to code

would make better battlefield

[chilly jacinth]

no

There was a camper sitting on a building in hourglass I go down there once with a sniper and he kills me

So next time I got to e1 and fly to that again, quick scope them and they had a respawn beacon

So what do I do? I plant a c5 there and blow it up when they respawn

Then t bagged them cause they did the same to me

[arctic grove]

ofc anyone would

2042 is made mostly by guys who never worked on games or battlefield

[chilly jacinth]

the few games that try to be like battlefield are horrendous

[arctic grove]

which

clown me more dice shill lmao

[chilly jacinth]

wasn't me

[arctic grove]

i know

[chilly jacinth]

but i wont go further with this

[fiery shoal]

dont have to even like 2042 to know thats an absolute clown statement

[arctic grove]

i love how twitter users know only one thing
clown emoji

[arctic grove]

ah yes

then why all the old guys left the studio?

hmm

[fiery shoal]

people leaving studios doesnt mean the new people have never worked on games in general...

those two do not correlate at all

[arctic grove]

one of the 3d artists

who is also here

[fiery shoal]

cool? out of how many?

[arctic grove]

wrote "dude idk i work on battlefield since 1,5 years" or something like this

[fiery shoal]

your logic is concerning to say the least...

[arctic grove]

new unexperienced people == shit game

thats my logic

[fiery shoal]

2042 is not a good game, its a bad bf game, doesnt mean you can say completely stupid things and have it be true

[fiery shoal]

legit the only thing youve said that makes sense...

[arctic grove]

ive been saying that all the time

[fiery shoal]

you literally just said the people that made 2042 have never made a game before...

[arctic grove]

well sorry MOST OF THEM*

[fiery shoal]

adding "most of them" doesnt change how thats a stupid statement...

[arctic grove]

why

if they would have experience new bf wouldnt be that trash

[fiery shoal]

1. you have absolutely no gauge to how many people are new to bf, let alone new to game developing
2. frostbite engine is known for being a PITA to dev for, someone working on unreal 4 for 15 years cant go to frostbite and be effective
3. even IF they arent new frostbite, that doesnt mean they know how to specifically make a GOOD bf game

[spare quest]

orange cat spittin facts

[drowsy shuttle]

i don't think its the experience... its the talent.... between an experienced guy with lack of talent and a unexperienced guy with lot of talent... im gonna take the 2nd one every day of the week.

[fiery shoal]

game development is so complicated, why else do you think it takes teams of hundreds of people and years of work to even get a product out... and yet you think a completely low tier shit take like "2042 is made mostly by guys who never worked on games or battlefield" can be correct? even though you have absolutely no data to support any of these claims to begin with... good luck in life if this is how you operate on the daily

[arctic grove]

1. more than half of the entire battlefield team
2. yea ik thats actually ea fault
3. because they are new to the battlefield and dont know how to do shit (also ea fault)

[arctic grove]

yea but its triple a game not an indie

there is no excuse to hire new guys into thing that is so advanced

by new guys i mean people who started with gamedev

ea is fucking millions € worth

[fiery shoal]

1. you have no proof of this... at all
2. frostbite engine is seemingly the only engine capable of doing what BF titles demand (notice the lack of BF kind of games in the gamespace?)
3. NOT hiring new talent sounds like a good way to have your company die off... you just NOT gonna hire new people? tf is this logic

[drowsy shuttle]

what if its a guy who just graduated as top of the class with really good talent and great vision etc etc?

[arctic grove]

destruction can be easily achieved in unreal

for example

or any engine

[arctic grove]

then its fine but still he need some help from dudes who worked in battlefields for at least 10 years

[fiery shoal]

sure, a single aspect can be achieved, maybe the problem is destruction WITH 128 players in a large scale map made for combined arms and having top of the line graphics...

even if 2042 looks worse than previous bf titles, it still has better graphics than most games out there

[arctic grove]

not really

its 6/10

tbh

[fiery shoal]

and thats literally only a tiny fraction of what is needed to be achieved to make a game

physics engine, sound design, bullet projectiles, animations, networking, etc etc etc etc

[arctic grove]

yes ik know

[fiery shoal]

apparently not

[arctic grove]

well unreal engine has you covered in 80%

they even open sourced their engine

so

[arctic grove]

and new devs at dice are at the beginning

[quick egret]

The graph shows intelligence guys

And dice devs are bottom left

[arctic grove]

excatly

[quick egret]

Or too right

Which one

[hidden sand]

That's how a lot of people view Frostbite after skim readin one article about it

[quick egret]

We’re just stupid and the game is perfect

[next onyx]

Why do people think UE will do what dice needs it to do.

They'll have to completely reconfig UE to do what frostbite does but at the point you've wasted resources for an engine to do what your home sourced engine already does?

[fiery shoal]

we are stupid and the game is not good...

[full burrow]

128 was pretty pointless anyway, was just for a numbers brag

[hidden sand]

UE wouldn't be good for Battlefield

[arctic grove]

my issue is that EA or whoever manages personal at DICE decided to "hey lets hire new guys who most of them have no idea how to make battlefield. what could go wrong"

[quick egret]

The good ending

[next onyx]

Frostbite is made for battlefield.

[full burrow]

dont think there was much thought beyond make it work

[arctic grove]

well uh

[next onyx]

They've specifically made it for battlefield there's no need to license another one.

[quick egret]

Originally wasn’t it a racing engine they beat into being fps one

[arctic grove]

there is game called batllebit

or idk

there were some public play tests on steam

[full burrow]

.................

[arctic grove]

and this run on unity

[fiery shoal]

LOL battlebit

[hidden sand]

No... It was completely designed from the ground up for Battlefield.

[arctic grove]

that funny roblox battlefield on steam

[fiery shoal]

i was expecting some hell let loose comparison, but fucking battlebit xD

[arctic grove]

and it was way better than 2042

and had more features

[quick egret]

I must be thinking of another engine

[arctic grove]

and was made with unity

[next onyx]

Ah yes. A game on a different scale to battlefield that looks shit in comparison.

[full burrow]

I dont think ive ever tried ray tracing

[arctic grove]

so please dont tell me "FrOsTbItE Is MaDe FoR BaTtLeFiElD"

[fiery shoal]

yea i hope a game with a total polycount of one player model in 2042 would somehow "be better"

[next onyx]

It's alright Vic.

[full burrow]

i have 3070 but its a laptop so I tend not to push it

[arctic grove]

ray tracing is scam

its only good for rendering

not gaming

[fiery shoal]

this dude has the weirdest takes...

[next onyx]

They've specifically made battlefield with frostbite in mind.

[hidden sand]

No Way you dont understand

[next onyx]

xP

[hidden sand]

I read up on 1 article that said froatvite is bad

[hexed mango]

well, if you want to be factual, FB4 was built 100% for BF2042

[hidden sand]

And then I saw a UE5 demo with quixel assets

[full burrow]

raizen I didnt really mind listening to you but when you compare batlebits to battlefield in terms of engine and graphics....

[hidden sand]

CLEARLY I'm more informed and UE5 is better

[next onyx]

I could get an actual dev who works on engine here.

[quick egret]

Frostbite is gonna be in the new dead space

Worried a lil

[next onyx]

Not sure if he's active but I know a dude who does work on it.

Let's check actually.

[hidden sand]

Frostbite is a good engine

[fiery shoal]

just not.. for general use

[hidden sand]

Well no we dont know that now

[next onyx]

Oh that's cool.

[arctic grove]

ah yes dont give SDK to the community "because we are too stupid"

[spare quest]

what could go wrong

[next onyx]

I know that beyond battlefield frostbite is a bit touchy.

[hidden sand]

Because they've absolutely changed it since anthems, dragon age, etc fiasco

[hexed mango]

according to sam it works like unreal does with blocks, for design that is
however i dunno how that explains other stuff within it

[hidden sand]

So that's speculation, but it was bad

[full burrow]

also the crossbow seems faast

[next onyx]

They seem to be working with it fine but I only see that externally.

[quick egret]

I say 3rd person horror remake on a newer engine sounds all good on paper until 2022 EAs name is slapped on it

[next onyx]

It was like that with the original dead space I believe.

[hexed mango]

for 2042, it was probably harder to use cause they were rebuilding the entire engine, so they were relying on the frostbite dev team first, before designers could design stuff
idk

[hidden sand]

EA is hands off with their games and have been for a while

[arctic grove]

is frostbite is sooooo good for battlefield then why there are bf clones that runs on different engines and (most of them) are better?

[next onyx]

They're not run the same scale.

[hexed mango]

yet they still do tend to push certain ideas, no?

[fiery shoal]

what bf clones?

battlebit xD

[arctic grove]

for example

i has higher playercount than bf 2042

so

[quick egret]

OG dead space was pretty revolutionary for its time

[arctic grove]

server playercount*

[next onyx]

Battlebit such a resource intensive game.

[spare quest]

clownfield 2042

[drowsy shuttle]

call of duty... huehuehuehuehueuhheuhe

[arctic grove]

yet it works better than current battlefield

[fiery shoal]

its funny how people think "bf clones" is JUST player count

[hidden sand]

I mean battlebit is good, the gameplay designers did a really good job with the mechanics of that game imo
My thing is the visuals are very, very underwhelming and the playercount is too high

[hexed mango]

hehehehaw
