battlefield-2042

[sharp marten]

It’s like 30 years in the future

[tidal hare]

We can just decrease the blast radius and have the same reload time/damage

[night vessel]

wow not a single Main Battle Tank buffs & changes bruh

[tidal hare]

So it is still a potent self defense option

[uncut bay]

splash damage was hardly the issue with it

[tidal hare]

While reduce the damage against infantry

[sharp marten]

MBT’s are fine for me atm

[night vessel]

there not mate we need APS defence

[tidal hare]

How many times are you killed by direct hit lol

[sharp marten]

Besides the reactive armor that is

Or aps yes

[tidal hare]

Unless you are a heli

[tame cobalt]

Leaving the top half of Kaleidoscope unaltered and basically just changing the areas of the new breakthrough layout is an L

[sharp marten]

They did a buff on the last buff fix your auto fix or whatever it is I can’t remember has a shorter cool down

[tidal hare]

I do understand how people hate vehicles

But I do not agree with all vehicles should be nerfed to the ground

[lilac dust]

Thank you @brazen breach for confirming on twitter that kailedoscope will have a 24/7 playlist tomorrow 👍

[orchid storm]

jet category need bugfix and add option.
1,rear camera
2,chasecamera off setting
3,revers fight delete

not included this time
sadness...

[lilac dust]

or at least a smaller map rotation that will make kailedoscope easier to jump into. May not be exactly like exposure, but still good to know

[scenic tartan]

Rip to aircraft and tanks
long live the wildcat meta

[tidal hare]

EBAA is over buffed
50mm is nerfed a bit too much
We still haven't eliminated the problem of stealth heli

[next onyx]

Mhhhh I get you want to say thank you but best not to ping him.

[scenic tartan]

Wildcat with 60mm flak is gonna rip everything on the map to shreds

[sharp marten]

The wildcat is not over buffed

[tidal hare]

How's the 60mm flak damage

[lilac dust]

Well now I know. Thank you. Won't happen again.

[sharp marten]

Not even close

[wide shore]

RIP to my homie BSV. Pouring one out rn

[tame cobalt]

I'm calling it now tho, they probably overdid the k30 nerf. The gun is still supposed to be the best close range weapon, that is its entire point

[tidal hare]

The missile lock on range buff is welcomed

[next onyx]

It still is Ratchet.

Except now it isn't so good at a range.

[tidal hare]

The aa missile damage buff comes out of nowhere

[sharp marten]

That’s what I’m saying

[tame cobalt]

Pog

[scenic tartan]

The wildcat is going to be the new meta boys

[tidal hare]

And 30mm cannon does not need more damage

[arctic grove]

BRO FINALLY THE SPECIALISTS ARE ALL GETTING BEARDS. INCLUDING SUNDANCE

[tidal hare]

They removed drop off already, why increase damage more

[scenic tartan]

get ready to get SLAUGHTERED by wildcat squads running 60mm flak and NUKING every point in breakthrough

[sharp marten]

💀

[tidal hare]

EBAA is only buffed against planes

So yeah

[wide shore]

[tidal hare]

Good luck flying I guess

[arctic grove]

You dont think Sundance with a beard be hot?

[scenic tartan]

The real ones noticed that the wildcat was overpowered with the 60mm flak against infantry already

[arctic grove]

Exactly my mood right now

[sharp marten]

I want to be Sundance with a beard that’s how hot It would be

[outer anchor]

they shouldve added a beard to all specialists

[tidal hare]

I didn't use much 60mm flak because i don't have a mate playing with me

[arctic grove]

Glad i found someone that agrees

[sharp marten]

Kiss me

[arctic grove]

Yeah only like 4 out of all of em were reworked as far as i know

[arctic grove]

Bruh no

[naive sandal]

Turn to off chase camera, you could just edit keyboard or controller button mappings

[next onyx]

I'm interested in the specialist changes and new lines.

[tidal hare]

My ebaa F3 setup is usually canister or anti vehicle rockets

[sharp marten]

[next onyx]

I'm gonna probably missed "Target is fucked"

[tidal hare]

And Canister is Very, very good against air vehicles

[arctic grove]

Not all specialists had changes

[brazen breach]

It's later this week

[tidal hare]

So Thursday

[sharp marten]

I’m ngl I like the first look of valk like the younger one

[brazen breach]

yez

[lilac dust]

Oh okay. Thank you

[balmy halo]

Yoooo

[sharp marten]

Can we get a confirmation that wildcat go BRRRRRT

[next onyx]

Hey there Straatford, Nice surprise to see see you.

[arctic grove]

24/7 128 Breakthrough in Kali in the rework map could work

[gleaming oracle]

Rip MP9

[arctic grove]

PLZ DICE

WE NEED 128 BT BACK

[sharp marten]

If we riot they’ll have to bring it back

[acoustic island]

PLS

[scenic tartan]

why does DICE hate pilots

[arctic grove]

STRAATFORD JUST ONE TRY IT ONE TIME ON A FEATURE ROTATION

I ONLY NEED 1

[brazen breach]

why are you yelling

[sharp marten]

LOUD NOISES

[scenic tartan]

i guess we can fuck off about in the spawn for the game and do fun tricks in the air so the wildcat cant notice us with its eye of sauron like power

[arctic grove]

Because i miss 128 bt 😭

[lucid goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/hey-you-guys-hey-you-hey-gif-22361356

[tidal hare]

We all do

[wide shore]

I can’t wait to be better at aiming tomorrow.

[still vault]

No yelling. RAO doesn't like yelling.

[gleaming oracle]

They nerfed the SMGS hard! The MP9 didn't need to be nerfed at all

[arctic grove]

Me right now and ok

[arctic grove]

Wait for console users or Pc users?

[quasi acorn]

K30 got hit

Why

[next onyx]

Not all?

[arctic grove]

OP gun

[gleaming oracle]

It was well OP

[scenic tartan]

Rao needs nerf badly

[gleaming oracle]

But the mp9 was fine and got hit hard

[arctic grove]

From the articles ive read it was only: Boris, Mackay, Falk, and i cant remember the last one

[quasi acorn]

And the m5 9mm mag got nerf too

[zealous patio]

Jets are still in same category with helis right ?

[wide shore]

[tidal hare]

i think so yeah

[scenic tartan]

thats a good thing the m5 time to kill was insane with them

[acoustic island]

I do feel that the mp9 didn’t need a nerf

[arctic grove]

The recoiless needs a buff or more ammo

[scenic tartan]

the MP9 was going to become the new meta gun if the k30 got nerfed

[tidal hare]

way to go with the LCMG cqc rounds

[scenic tartan]

so it needed a nerf too, its basically a k30 lite

[zealous patio]

I play on ps5 but with 0 aim assist should i try it after new patch?

[arctic grove]

Ive been doing good on xbox so with this update i might actually do better

[tidal hare]

yeah

[balmy halo]

I get high 80s to 100 on low with a 2060

[tidal hare]

probably

[balmy halo]

Is that common

[tidal hare]

idk

[wide shore]

Same

[gleaming oracle]

I disagree, k30 still has faster fire rate. There was no need to bring down the damage on the mp9

[tidal hare]

my screen is 59.9hz and i always get ~60 with med-high

[quasi acorn]

Wait how many bullets did it take to kill with the K30??

[balmy halo]

Specs?

[tidal hare]

mp9 intrinsically have more damage

3600x 2070super

32g 3200hz ram

i think my cpu is my issue

[balmy halo]

Hmm

[tidal hare]

but i dont have hard facts to confirm it

[gleaming oracle]

It doesn't now its been nerfed to the same as k30

[tidal hare]

it still have more damage

dude

read the patch note

[scenic tartan]

MP9 was better than K30 unless you had your gun up their butt already

[gleaming oracle]

How can it if its same as k30?

[tidal hare]

DUDE

[wide shore]

MP9 feels more useable at range due to the slower rof

[tidal hare]

Reduced K30 ammo type damage for Subsonic, Standard Issue and High-Power rounds
Subsonic, 0-10m - 22 dmg > 18 dmg

Reduced the MP9 Close Combat rounds damage
0-5m - 28 -> 22 damage

tell me 22 == 18

[gleaming oracle]

Then take the fire rate

So basically the same

[quasi acorn]

Someone is malding over this

[tidal hare]

well

[gleaming oracle]

1200 > 900

[tidal hare]

if you are gonna hit all the shots with a vector

[sharp marten]

Straat my gamer I have a proposition for you you bring back 128 player BT and In return we have good time great time long time 🤝

[tidal hare]

you probably dont have the problem anyways

[gleaming oracle]

I don't use the k30 don't like it lol

[tidal hare]

21600 vs 19800

[gleaming oracle]

Mp9 was my smg pick

[tidal hare]

dpm

its not like is a huge difference

it is one more shot

to the body

4 vs 5

[wide shore]

I don’t really like it either. But it’s the last automatic gun I need to get T1

[gleaming oracle]

Might go back to the PBX

[wide shore]

PBX kicks ass

It’s so underrated

[tidal hare]

i use scar so it isnt a issue for me

after i T1 it it is probably lcmg since pkp handles like a dog

[gleaming oracle]

Yes I like it, I love the scar it's my go to AR

[lament plank]

Of course the patch comes out the day I deploy for 2 months and can’t play it. Feelsbad

[orchid storm]

i mean bf3 camera.

bf3,4,1,5 have a jet chasecamera off configuration.
2042 have not configuration.
so need fix

[wide shore]

PKP isn’t that bad. Stick an Arcom compensator and use the the bipod a lot. It’s very good

[next onyx]

You mean the warhawk?

[tidal hare]

well the problem is you need to use bipod

[next onyx]

OH Arcom muzzle brake.

[tidal hare]

i can still control the non bipod recoil

[wide shore]

Nah. PKP has awful horizontal recoil.

[tidal hare]

nah its fine

[gleaming oracle]

Tier 1 the PKP when it was a beast

[wide shore]

I T1’d it before it got buffed.

[tidal hare]

I didnt play for a long time

so i didnt manage to use those prenerf stuff

[low timber]

I wish there was a way to save Portal codes as favorites...

[tidal hare]

but hey at least i got the NTW T1 before nerf

[gleaming oracle]

I only tier 1 the guns I will use and I've done the ones I use

[lusty temple]

'Collision damage has been updated for light vs heavy air vehicles. This does not mean the vehicles are immediately destroyed while colliding, but they will take more damage than before" YEAH BABY

[tidal hare]

I T1ed NTW, VSS, Vcar, and Xbow

[wide shore]

Me too. I have a few codes of the ones that I like in a notes app on my phone.

[pine roost]

Oh hey fenrirs

[naive sandal]

Is it getting a nerf?

[tidal hare]

it was a nerf a long time ago

[full burrow]

why are the mods at the bottom all dead?

[gleaming oracle]

No mention of the portal guns getting ported to AOW?

[tidal hare]

when it was still very good against vehicles

[low timber]

I have two EA account, and my portal modes re ofc on the wrong account, plus NoNam3’s aim trainer is a good way to test weapons.

[tidal hare]

nearly 5 shotting a tank

[orchid storm]

hi

[tidal hare]

not it is just infantry farmer

[wide shore]

Yeah I have the aim trainer on there

[tidal hare]

btw masterkey need a buff

[solar obsidian]

cant wait for patch tomorrow

[tidal hare]

there is zero point using masterkey over ubgl

[pine roost]

Im hoping the chase camera is added as an undocumented change, been waiting for months just for that

[tidal hare]

ubgl have more range, can one shot

[full burrow]

less ammo?

[low timber]

Wut, one of the aim trainer bots shit me back

[tidal hare]

just bring a ammo box

[copper fulcrum]

Let us put a Masterkey on a shotgun

[tidal hare]

honestly though

[wide shore]

[tidal hare]

i want a ubgl/masterkey shotgun

[solar obsidian]

lets put underbarrel on revolver

[tidal hare]

or we can put ubgl on mcs

lmao

lets put a ubgl on revolver

now it is a gl with a gun stick on it

[naive sandal]

Still does decent damage against vehicles. I once jumped from a condor and while parachuting, I shot some tank like 8 times with high power ammo, destroying it. Tank user was confused AF lol

[tidal hare]

that is 2mag+2

which is a lot less than ideal

[naive sandal]

I wouldn't complain if they buff its dmg against vehicles :-P but that'd probably be op

[tidal hare]

well

they nerfed it in the first place

because people complained about it

[naive sandal]

Ntw dmg vs light vehicles doesn't make any sense tho - 4 shots to destroy latv4!!!

[tidal hare]

it was a bit overtuned at first

now it is garbage

[acoustic island]

Now it’s only really used as a challenge but still decent 1 shot sniper

[tame cobalt]

I guess they're saving the top half of Kaleidoscope for the second rework if year 2 happens

[naive sandal]

I use it mostly against vehicles, find dxr far better against infantry

[fiery shoal]

whats top half of kaleidoscope?

[tidal hare]

it is just a infantry farmer now

[tidal hare]

dont use ntw as a sniper

[fiery shoal]

in terms of BT or like the skyscrapers?

[tidal hare]

it is just a oversized slug shotgun

idk why so many people use high power scope on it

[naive sandal]

Oh yeah makes more sense to use it at a distance <150 m against infantry

[tidal hare]

pop a reflex on it and you are golden

all 700 something of my T1 kills are using k8 holo

https://streamable.com/akjj16

the power of prenerf NTW

[naive sandal]

Interestingly, the high power ammo while having lower velocity, has less bullet drop (because it's not affected by air resistance, unlike regular ammo)

[tidal hare]

it was the opposite

high power had lots of drop and less high power have less

and high power have 1 more round

[acoustic island]

I like how they said they won’t update hz anymore

Meanwhile

[tidal hare]

yeah jk we still update it

[full burrow]

ummm my game just ended

like it lagged for a ffew seconds and now im in the menu

my internet seems to be fine tho

[tame cobalt]

Like when you look at the cq128 layout map, 3 sectors of the top half won't be changed much

[acoustic island]

Wonder if they will do anything to the 64 layout

Especially for exodus cq

[tame cobalt]

While the other portions will be changed a lot, because they are part of the new breakthrough layout @fiery shoal

[fiery shoal]

i still dont know what you are considering the top half

top half of the maps when you press M and split that view down the center?

[tidal hare]

the top half on the map

of top half on geometry

i.e the towers

[fiery shoal]

2042 dmed me this

[tidal hare]

i mean

isnt this 64bt

[acoustic island]

That’s before 128 was removed I think

[tidal hare]

yes

[low timber]

Yup, there is a lot of space we haven’t seen any changes yet.

[tidal hare]

128 have A1 in the top left building

now the playerspace is kinda cramped

[acoustic island]

I think 3 objectives in a and b would be good

[tidal hare]

not b

b is just very clearly the data center

and no 3 objectives

[arctic grove]

Empty spacefield 2042

[tidal hare]

hourglass 128 had 3

now we cant even go there anymore

they changed hourglass massively

[acoustic island]

I hope hourglass is the next map rework after renewal

[tame cobalt]

They'll just delete hourglass

And everyone will rejoice

Hour-ass

[acoustic island]

But but

I live for the look of the map after the sandstorm

[tame cobalt]

Doesn't happen enough

Hour-ass is irredeemable

[formal imp]

The multi kills with explosives mission from week seven isn’t unlocking for me

[tame cobalt]

ToddHowardfan1

[low timber]

The H is silent

[formal imp]

Yes?

[tame cobalt]

[outer anchor]

tbh breakaway is as bad as hourglass

[acoustic island]

And it doesn’t even have a cool transition!

No tornadoes on breakaway 😒

[wide shore]

Breakaway needs a blizzard

[acoustic island]

Blizzard or an alvalanche

Or both

[arctic grove]

A blizzard Tornado 😉

[wide shore]

Now we’re thinking

[acoustic island]

I like in 2042 that dust devils are now scary according to renewal and hourglass

[mystic bough]

battlefield 5 is the best battlefield game

[vital fractal]

Did they fixed the ADS bug?

[mystic bough]

yup

[vital fractal]

nice, that bug stress me out

When it happen

[next onyx]

Not sure if it's been fixed.

[fiery zenith]

It hasn't

[vital fractal]

I mean for the update tomorrow

[fiery zenith]

Lazy devs

[vital fractal]

dang it

[acoustic island]

I think it’s been mostly fixed but on very rare occurrences it may happen according to some people in chat

But I haven’t had it happen again

[next onyx]

We'll see if it's been fixed.

[lusty temple]

Aim assist is gonna be fixed finally

[wheat bone]

Its sad how this game was the winner of the "big 3"

Between Halo infinite, Vanguard and Battlefied 2042. Battlefield took the cake

[hexed mango]

oh damn i really guessed it

[lusty temple]

Next game should be somewhat better since they're using the same engine

[hexed mango]

i said when i wake up i expect august update…

[wheat bone]

All 3 of them were bad

[hexed mango]

and boom

Carb did you rig it for me

[vocal adder]

Halo infinite strongest problems right now is desync no progression and needs bug fixes and pc optimization

[next onyx]

I think at the end of this game's lifecycle I'll just say I managed to have fun with it but the set of launch really fucked this game over.

[calm bison]

Halo Infinites problems stem from the fact that 343 has done nothing

[prime cairn]

Is anyone else getting delayed unlocks for attachments?

[calm bison]

Like I have not seen any new content for halo infinite

[acoustic island]

I don’t think anyone was really excited for vanguard anyways so it was only really halo and 2042

[next onyx]

Yeah Trek we all are.

My T28 unlocks were delayed.

[vocal adder]

Hasn't been any content since may and that was only 2 maps and couple modes next content is in November haha

[lusty temple]

People were more hyped for halo than 2042 tbh

[prime cairn]

I just unlocked the explosive bolts for the crossbow but I guess I'll have to wait :/

[acoustic island]

And it’s crazy that 2042 now has more players

[vocal adder]

Because the Devs seem to care more then 343

[pine roost]

🤞hoping for heli bug fixes

[vocal adder]

I'm still hopeful the game will turn around

[next onyx]

Try playing a match against bots and getting some kill, It should force the unlock.

It's how I got my T28 unlocks.

[lusty temple]

The difference between the two games is that one has their jobs on the line if they don't improve it

[acoustic island]

True

[vocal adder]

I mean infinite gameplay is really fun sad what's happening though

[acoustic island]

I loved infinite for 2 weeks then the four modes and like 7 maps got to me

[vocal adder]

I think alot of people will return in season 3 and once forge comes out. And we in the wrong channel

😂

[acoustic island]

Lol

[white geyser]

Only one map they rework will update tomorrow, not surprise

[wide shore]

Well, we knew we weren’t getting renewal in august

They said it already

[prime cairn]

at least we know they aren't rushing it

[next onyx]

Yes lost happy angel...

I really wish they still played the animation at times.

While still being silent.

[low timber]

You took of the legendary skin for the Sfar?

[next onyx]

This is an old screenshot.

[low timber]

Oh, never mind

[prime cairn]

RIP Happy angel November 2021 - Now

[next onyx]

But you have this too. You can have something super expressive and silent.

[vocal adder]

Maybe bring in poses like infinite has but more battlefield style

[low timber]

Are you not entertained?!

[hexed mango]

explosive bolts aren’t worth it

[next onyx]

Why not have something like this at the end?

[wide shore]

Tbf I have a lot of guns T1 but I tend to use other skins. I get bored of the same thing Everytime.

[prime cairn]

I think they'll be fun so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[low timber]

Water drippings?

[next onyx]

You can make Mackay look like a dickhead but salute in a sneering way.

[hexed mango]

update 1.2 looks cool but no ADS bug fix noted

[next onyx]

Oh you know the animation he plays when you select/use a new set of cosmetics?

Actually no just generally select they run an animation.

Mackay Salutes.

Why not have that for the end of round quip?

[low timber]

Oh yeah Way, got the 12M T1 on Saturday.

[wide shore]

Using Lis on a classic map, and using her rocket just straight up breaks ADS every single time.

[next onyx]

Ah you dirty fuck.

PROMISE ME you don't use it anymore.

[low timber]

Now ive tried the DM7 for two days

[next onyx]

And it's not like I can say anything because I was using the fucking Stealth choppers LMAO.

[wide shore]

You mean the MIRV launcher

Dropping stockpiles of mininukes

[low timber]

Those bombs do be having a massive radius

[proper yarrow]

G-84 wrecks stealth choppers

[next onyx]

@low timber Am I an awful person?

It's really easy to avoid tv rockets.

[low timber]

Saw it already, well not to the end but a little bit

[next onyx]

OH Fair.

[hexed mango]

they’re bombs

they go boom

[low timber]

Pffft, even when you do hit it it just goes trough

[solar obsidian]

no you are a lovely person that teach players about the importance of anti air and not stacking together

ONE rao had removed that clip completely

[next onyx]

Funny enough he didn't actually get me.

[wide shore]

Bliss

[next onyx]

But I did move out of the way anyways.

[white geyser]

I’ll play 2042 tomorrow since I took another break again and try the rework map, since I made custom matchup in the portal

[tame cobalt]

People in my region think i work for EA cuz I'm the only person who's always being positive in the text chat

[next onyx]

It's just so easy to use.,

You hit the god damn cannons LOL.

[low timber]

Got to Tier 90

[wide shore]

Best place to hit

[hexed mango]

imagine not being done

[wide shore]

Honestly, I love using Lis cause I can have a rocket and an ammo box. But her rocket is just inferior to the M5.

[sharp marten]

Does anyone have the Road map of season 1

[viscid carbon]

am i alone in thinking sundance is relatively underpowered now ?

[low timber]

Tell that to the guy whos at Tier 34 and wants the Tier 99 knife.

[hexed mango]

heheh

[wide shore]

Sure you can control it. But I used to down choppers on the regular with the M5. It is NOT that frequent with her.

[hexed mango]

i play lis mainly to use the skin

[wide shore]

It’s not only harder to hit choppers with her rocket, but it doesn’t even OHK anything besides the Nightbird

[low timber]

Yeah, the rocket is gonna be inferior to the Carl as long as it cannot be dumb fired.

[viscid carbon]

can someone confirm or deny my beliefs bc either i am AWFUL or her nades are just weak

[hexed mango]

no

[viscid carbon]

ok thank u

[wide shore]

Plus you can resupply the Carl if you’re playing Angel. Get 4 shots back instantly. You can’t do that with Lis rockets

[viscid carbon]

scatter feels useless if the enemy doesnt stand still in it

[hexed mango]

she’s been nerfed pretty hard, her AA grenade sucks, cooldown is long but bearable

[viscid carbon]

im fine with cooldown, i definitely miss the 2 nades but i get the nerf

but like

dmg is so miniscule

[hexed mango]

i never really used her too much, but it’s definitely not as powerful as before

[viscid carbon]

if i direct hit someone with the main explosion it does next to nothing ://

[hexed mango]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[viscid carbon]

just glad the game feels like its more playable recently

hoping she gets a small buf

idc if its like 1 pt of extra damage lmao

[low timber]

All the explosives have massive radiuses, even the stock frag, does ~20 damage even when behind a corner.

[wide shore]

I just can’t wait to see this Aim Assist fix

I’ve been waiting for this for months

[low timber]

Ive already seen some PC players complain about it lol

[wide shore]

Whatever

They can sob into their keyboard

[low timber]

Well some do it because mouse input lag hasn’t been fixed as well and some because console getting fixed so no more easy kills.

[viscid carbon]

if aim assist was bad before i surely hope this fixes it

we need more controller players :D

[wide shore]

It’s not too bad now (it was awful at launch) it’s just inconsistent and doesn’t properly help tracking moving targets

Which with the way movement is in 2042. Is kinda import

[viscid carbon]

yes

very

also

medics in this game hurt my brrain

[arctic grove]

2042 has really fast movement and for a while I had the same problem with correcting aim on moving targets

[wide shore]

Jumping from BFV to this game at launch on console was painful

I was getting my ass kicked

But I’ve turned it around

[viscid carbon]

another really annoying thing too is sundance grenades spontaneously changing type and not changing back when you try

[grizzled whale]

thats called skill issue

[arctic grove]

I indeed have massive skill issue

[wide shore]

My K/D is only slightly worse on 2042 than BFV

[gloomy wyvern]

"Angel’s Loadout Crate should no longer block ladders" - Release notes

if you did that before then, never thought of it

[wide shore]

You could just destroy it anyway

People who used to block elevators using Irish’s shield was true high IQ

[distant grove]

has anyone had bottlenecking issues with bf2042 and if so how did u fix

[tame cobalt]

Tomorrow it's return of the wallhack queen 😍

[gloomy wyvern]

Everyone better start to expect to find a lot of Paik

"Paik is no longer spotted when using the EMG-X Scanner"
&
"Increased the spot duration while using the EMG-X Scanner from 0.5 to 0.85s"

[arctic grove]

A1 is going to be an absolute mess to fight over now

[gloomy wyvern]

Fr

[arctic grove]

Giant crate in the middle of it

[viscid carbon]

paik already being stupid and getting buffed

[arctic grove]

They’ll probably ghost change the duration to be shorter

[gloomy wyvern]

I'm waiting for Irish to get buffed or at least fixed

[arctic grove]

What’s up with Irish? I’ve been using him for his armor lately

[wide shore]

Switching between Irish’s stuff is annoying on console tbh

[tame cobalt]

Stay salty over the wallhack queen being better than u

[hexed mango]

good, paik is good

[arctic grove]

Eh paik isn’t that bad I suppose

[wide shore]

I also think he should get some benefits for using the cover. Rn his challenge is only for the APS. Nothing surrounding the shield gives him points.

[gloomy wyvern]

"Fixed an issue where Shotguns were dealing damage up to 300m. They no longer deal damage above 200m."

🙌

[shy nymph]

why are all my attachments locked even though I have the needed amount of kills and mastery

[wide shore]

I think he should get assists if teammates get a kill around his shield. (Using it as cover)

[hexed mango]

yet they didn’t even buff shotguns

mcs*

[hexed mango]

known issue

it’s just a glitch

[gloomy wyvern]

"The Incendiary Grenade launcher no longer one shots enemies"
🙌

[tame cobalt]

skill issue*

[hexed mango]

fr

[shy nymph]

it's happened with my past several guns

is there a fix

[hexed mango]

not really

[arctic grove]

Not really, I guess you could try reinstalling the game and maybe that’ll fix it after you play a match to update your stats and all that

[shy nymph]

I already did that

[hexed mango]

overall tho 1.2 has some good balances and shit

my biggest “Oh damn” was the era-specific MCOMs can’t wait to see them

[arctic grove]

That’s a pretty cool detail

[low timber]

Imo the shield should be a tad taller, and make the glass a one way glass.

[hexed mango]

also i feel like they didn’t really add any new Kaleido features from the last update in may (that showcased the upcoming changes), tbh from the video in the notes, i kinda expected more… but i’m not disappointed either

[arctic grove]

My favorite thing about kale rework is the giant crate on A1 now

[low timber]

While i love the BC2 crate, this is nice, tho it would’ve been cooler if it changes depending what team is defending.

[hexed mango]

true but making it map specific kinda makes more sense… but i get what you mean

[low timber]

Imagine if they add a 2142 some year and then in Rush they are defending a WW1/2 Morse code station

[arctic grove]

I’m a bit out of the loop but we already got those 3rd person anims right?

[hexed mango]

lol

[hexed mango]

honestly i don’t think we have yet

[arctic grove]

I noticed the 3rd person idle anims but not those yet as far as I’m aware myself

[acoustic island]

I think we got it in the July update

[hexed mango]

i do not believe it was mentioned in 1.0 or 1.1

[acoustic island]

Or some at least

[hexed mango]

idk

[next onyx]

Mhhhh SCAR's 4HK range is 70M.

It should be 50.

[shut osprey]

has anyone else unlocked 00-buck for the MCS-880? Is it extremely underwhelming?

[hexed mango]

Soldier hip rotation animations have been improved

it says this in 1.1 but that’s kinda it

[low timber]

No ones uses the 00 or 04

Only 01 and Flechette, with slugs as back-up

[shut osprey]

#4 buck is great, dunno why people dislike that one
just a giant cloud of 24, 10-damage pellets screaming down a hallway

[arctic grove]

‘We are introducing the first Style and Tone change for our Specialists’ it seems we will have more

[uncut bay]

i can't see much of a difference between the 00 and 04 and i forgot which one i use, but flechette is my backup

slugs are useless

[low timber]

00 has 8 buckshots and 04 has 24

[shut osprey]

flechette is literally just #1 except with soldier penetration, so I see no reason to use #1 after flechette

[low timber]

01 and flechette has 16

[shut osprey]

anyhow #4 is also a lot more forgiving with your aim, you don't have to be perfectly on-target to at least deal some damage

[hexed mango]

ye, these i think aren’t all specialists and only faces i think

[shut osprey]

the hipfire reticle doesn't appear to update with that kind of stuff

[hexed mango]

there’s def more to come

[buoyant coyote]

k30 still op?

[hexed mango]

it’s getting nerfed

[low timber]

Tomorrow

[buoyant coyote]

k

[hexed mango]

but only slightly nerfed close range

[buoyant coyote]

so still op

[hexed mango]

sure

[buoyant coyote]

bet

ak24 best iron sights no cap

[versed glade]

Decided to watch the video furry apocalypse on loop instead of playing 2042 today.🔥🔥 Might play tomorrow.

[hexed mango]

i’m kinda sad they’re nerfing the M5A3’s close combat ammo, but i mean it was coming

[buoyant coyote]

i just maxedo ut that gun :P

[hexed mango]

nice

[buoyant coyote]

im maxing out ak24 now

[hexed mango]

M5 and PP are the two guns i’ve locked myself in on using, fun

[buoyant coyote]

pps good?

[low timber]

I’m using DM7 atm, as ive T1’d all automatic weapons and AC-42.

[buoyant coyote]

nice

[naive sandal]

The patch note values are not accurate tho - rn close combat rounds actually have a max dmg of 28, not 22 hp/round

[arctic grove]

Does less damage now?

[buoyant coyote]

m5a3 reocil is annoying so istopped using it

[celest oar]

Is there a way to know If a air-vehicle flare is off while having Anti-armor grenade on your hand?

[buoyant coyote]

why does anti armor tur nint oscatter

[echo yew]

cease to make melee challenges melee doesn't work in this game

[celest oar]

it's visual bug on the icon, should look at the actual grenade on your hand to identify which grenade you're using

[arctic grove]

Just use Dozer for now

For melee challenges

[echo yew]

even dozer struggles

melee in this game doesn't function properly

[tacit sphinx]

i’ve used takedowns for them fine

[arctic grove]

I have a clip getting like a 3 man kill with him in Exposure

Hosting a XP lobby if anyone wants to join

[tacit sphinx]

it’s not perfect but if you can’t handle being asked to kill two people with it uhhh idk sounds like a player specific problem

[arctic grove]

I’d like less vertical recoil or much of an effect at all but in all seriousness I like the SFAR and AK most for those reasons

[buoyant coyote]

default a kfeels bettert hen maxed m5

[hexed mango]

ye

[wide shore]

SFAR basically has no recoil it’s crazy

[hexed mango]

idk but they also messed up on the name, they said M5A1, not M5A3

[wide shore]

I noticed that lol

[celest oar]

K30 standard issue and High power do the same damage, what the point of using high power anyway? and it 50 standard rounds vs 30 rounds per mag

[next onyx]

High power has a bit more range.

[celest oar]

[restive stirrup]

what's the best method to level up?

[buoyant coyote]

sfars fire rate way t o slow for me

[arctic grove]

I just got battlefield 2042

[violet meteor]

This kaleidoscope map rework looks great

[wide shore]

But it hits like a truck and has very little recoil

[tranquil turtle]

Disabled Capture Points will no longer impact the game, such as still having ticket bleed
Jesus fucking christ I've been waiting for them to fix this

Thank God they're still working on portal

[buoyant coyote]

yeah i dont like sho shooting guns tho

[wide shore]

Fair enough ig

I don’t really like super fast shooting guns. Which is why the K30 is one of my last T1s

[buoyant coyote]

i like fast shooting with little recoil

the volt from apex is what i like

[wide shore]

I’ve only played Apex like twice in my life tbh

[low timber]

I wonder if those 8 portal weapons will be added tomorrow as well or not.

[wide shore]

I’m sure they would’ve said something if they were

[low timber]

That’s why I wondered

[wide shore]

It’s sad. I just wanna use the AN and XM8 in AOW

[low timber]

P90

As well

[wide shore]

I tried using the P90 a bit in portal but I don’t like it

[acoustic island]

I wanna use the m16

[wide shore]

I know people hate 2042 audio for some reason. But the M16A3 sound in portal sounds crisp

[low timber]

What about gadgets poetic?

[tranquil turtle]

It sounds like a toy like every other portal gun

[low timber]

The BC2 M16 is quite interesting with its sight placements.

As it keeps the irons and the sights get mounted on some extra bit in front of the irons above the barrel.

[pine roost]

I’m hoping the aa changes don’t just make camping the norm, that new range is pretty nuts

Will wait and see though

[low timber]

Yeah, last time I was in a heli and an AA Wildcat hit me few time from halfway across the Discarded small layout BT map. I was behind the Colossus getting hit while the AA was in the last sectors defenders uncap.

Like yeah those were just some lucky hits

[wide shore]

Uhh, idk. The RPG and SMAW would be neat but they don’t really do anything the M5 doesn’t already do

Only difference is in portal their velocity is insane

AT4 could be cool

[low timber]

I was more about those we don’t have a 2042 equivalent, like Javelin, AT4, Claymore and Mortar Strike. Tracer Dart.

Took a while to get the equivalent written as autocorrect didn’t offer it at all at first

[violet meteor]

Even with the kaleidoscope rework it still kinda looks like a toy model. They couldnt slap some dirt on it? Lol

[low timber]

There is

[pine roost]

And the no damage drop off over the range is going to make that even more egregious

But if it keeps the slow velocity and high spread then perhaps it will balance out

[low timber]

See? Dirt!

[pine roost]

It shouldn’t kill incredibly quickly, it should have a long enough ttk to provide the target some time to escape, but if they linger or make a wrong move they’ll be punished

[hidden sand]

No improvements to tanks. Per usual.

[pine roost]

F

We’ll get some eventually

I’ll try out tanks once I get back and see how they feel, I’ve only heard about how they play so I’ll finally get my hands on them and see for myself

[arctic grove]

They aren’t really a fun experience at this moment

[silk surge]

I was a bit worried when DICE was insinuating that they were looking to nerf the SMGs. I'm glad that they didn't touch my PP.

[low timber]

Update drops <t:1659427200:R>

[frosty mural]

or my PB

[tranquil turtle]

They need better anti infantry gear

Or just nerf the rocket launcher

[hidden sand]

I'm convinced at this point they simply do not care about actually improving vehicles, so I've given up on hoping for it tbh.

We're now almost 9 months in and they haven't remotely tried to improve tanks.

[pine roost]

Maybe I should start up a daily Twitter post schedule

[arctic grove]

Oh shit i just got this game before an update?

And also, is this like battlefield 4 with the paying for maps bs

No it’s not like 4

Luckily that model of adding new content is dead

You’ll get maps, guns, gadgets, etc (gameplay content) for free in the season battle passes

wish this game ran as well as Tarkov does on my PC

wish I got different performance depending on whether i had everything set on high or low. wish dlss worked.

Lotta wishes there

[solar tinsel]

Just started going through the patch notes:

• Reduced the peripheral blur around weapon scopes when zoomed in to aid with general visibility
• A number of scopes have been updated to ensure a larger playable area is visible when Aiming Down Sights

Hooray!

[full burrow]

spawn prone if squad mate was prone is a good touch

but it just seems like such basic stuff that should have been thought about ten times over

all the shit that we have gone through in every battlefield

like c4 drone, like couldn't have predicted that.......

[solar tinsel]

ha for sure

but hey, for those still playing - Ill take it

[hidden sand]

@next onyx How do you feel about the stealth heli changes?

[lilac dust]

The wildcat buff is rather questionable.... It's bad enough we have so few air vehicles in a match 😐

[solar tinsel]

I'm happy it got buffed, I've been calling for one BUT, also at the trade-off of range. We'll see how this goes

I'd prefer it be absolutely demolishing but rather in and around your area, as like a "no fly" zone

[next onyx]

It's a start.

[solar tinsel]

Time will tell if this needs to be dialed back a bit though

[lilac dust]

It was already game over if you are in a match with a wildcat player whos' sitting in the back just focusing on you 24/7

[solar tinsel]

True, hence my range consideration/suggestion

In a jet, you can get by, but it does make you avoid them a bit

[hidden sand]

Yeah I guess. I could say more about how stupidly minimal these vehicle changes are but I can't be bothered anymore.

[next onyx]

I think I know why they're doing it.

So they don't over nerf it.

[hidden sand]

Sure, but then again they're also not bringing improvements to other vehicles that objectively need it.

[arctic grove]

oh i see that 1.2 comes out tomorrow

hopefully it works

[solar tinsel]

@lilac dust my real hope is that the Wildcat now will actually be able to take on a transport chopper, which literally could just float above the Wildcat and take it out

[next onyx]

OH YEAH.

The wildcat AA can do so much.

Now.

[copper fulcrum]

"Now."

[solar tinsel]

haha, I'd argue the Wildcat was better at GROUND combat in the past. Maybe now that will change

This could be a good reason to buff the 30mms on the jets now though

because IMO they still are too damn spready to do significant damage to Wildcats

[lilac dust]

I just wish more people would realize that DICE are just increasingly turning the game into infantry focused combat with occasional air stuff. They would save themselves so much time if they just gave that crowd an infantry conquest in AoW

[full burrow]

yeah its good that wildcats buff was for its AA capabilities

[solar tinsel]

exactly

[full burrow]

the dmg buff on those AA rockets is strong but they were pretty weak

[arctic grove]

is rush mode ever going to come back? breakthrough is one of the most garbage game modes ever created, so im hopeful

[solar tinsel]

then everyone would abandon the rest haha - but seriously, I think the jet still needs a dedicated spawn spot

[arctic grove]

Also love seeing Hazard Zone get updates, phenomenal game mode hated solely by terribad W key spammers

[lilac dust]

Nah there's plenty of people that love the classic battlefield experience, sure it'll mean less noobs in normal conquest but at least it would give us back BF4 levels of fun

[solar tinsel]

it blows my mind that Caspian Border (a smaller map) gets 3 air attack + 1 (or 2) transpo choppers and a map like hourglass gets 1 air attack + 2 air transpo

[lilac dust]

I still can't fathom how the trailer had 2 heli's chasing each other and 2 jets chasing each other. Sure it's possible to accomplish in the game right now, but that's all... .It's just merely "possible" 🤣

[hidden sand]

What's particularly funny about this is how tanks were never a problem. Only the bolte and hovercraft were.

[solar tinsel]

right ha, the vehicle ecosystem got trashed in 2042

[hidden sand]

They either are just that clueless, or simply do not care because resources are limited.

[lilac dust]

Makes sense since that's ripple effect

[arctic grove]

The near extinction of vehicles in AOW is indeed depressing

[solar tinsel]

Yeah, because tanks are slow enough and literally **every **player on a team can in theory equip themselves with a viable Anti-Vehicle gadget.

I honestly feel nervous to push objectives with a tank because I know 6 people will come out and C5/M5/TGM me

tanks kind of need to be a hang back and provide far support for infantry, to be effective in 2042

[foggy halo]

it started a long time ago. but it started good (with bf1) and now it's bad (with this game)

[lilac dust]

And hearing DICE say "We think air vehicle balance is in a good spot. It's where we want it to be" ...... will we ever get back to BF4 😦

[hidden sand]

BF4 air vehicle balance wasn't the best either.

[solar tinsel]

did they say that? ugh, yeah we need more diversity of air vehicles. 1 jet + 1 attack heli + 1 little bird, at least for the larger maps

[copper fulcrum]

The best part of BF4's air vehicle balance was the admin sitting in the chopper with his finger on the ban button

[hidden sand]

But at this point, I can't be bothered to complain about tanks anymote.

[lilac dust]

I don't ever expect it to be perfect but obviously if you put the vehicle count to a bare minimum then balance is guaranteed, but it's not always about total balance. Games need to be fun

[hidden sand]

They likely will never be improved and thwts become more and more clear with each update.

[arctic grove]

The way 4 gave you a preset amount of different vehicles with a cooldown is something I think should come back

Instead of categorizing vehicles which has some annoying cons

[solar tinsel]

well thats the thing, I don't think thats balanced.

Because when you say "1 air attack only" not enough classes of vehicles are represented. There is a natural ecosystem of how these vehicles engage with each other based on class, and thats not there

A jet can be a good counter to a heli, but if a jet doesn't exist...

you lack that sort of "threat" to keep helis on their toes

and the result is they go ham, unchecked. If the enemy doesn't spawn an AA even, then they are even less checked

[pine roost]

Exactly

[lilac dust]

They completely removed such a healthy part of it, allowing infantry to not be targeted so much because the air vehicles are distracted by other air vehicles

[solar tinsel]

its like a food chain ha

[pine roost]

That’s what I think about the main problem with vehicle balance at the moment

[solar tinsel]

right, their answer was "give everyone launchers!"

which results in frustrating gameplay that doesn't actually achieve the right balance

[foggy halo]

Inf is more challenging to play, but in this game, no matter what you play vehicles or inf you don’t have much fun because the maps are bad, tanks are very weak, and the game in general doesn’t feel good. The only good thing about this game is that it’s new and it brings some change.

Tanks were very weak since launch but nobody cared, because the playerbase is very cursed inf experience focused

[sour meadow]

anyone here with slight legal knowledge? had a question about 2042

[copper fulcrum]

Before you ask, no.

[solar tinsel]

no legal knowledge but I'd love to hear it anyway haha

[sour meadow]

if DICE removed specialists from 2042, could they be liable for false advertisement

[hidden sand]

No because they can remove specialist without removing them completely

I.e. making them cosmetic only

Or changing their appearances completely, etc

[copper fulcrum]

They can't outright remove specialists especially since there's purchasable skins for them now

[lilac dust]

As soon as you introduce paid cosmetics for them there's no removing them

[arctic grove]

Why do you ask? Curious

[solar tinsel]

You'd also have to imagine that if the company was responding to players and can point to a large degree of feedback that people wanted this change, I imagine there's a difference between deliberately trying to bait and switch customers vs. them trying to make steps to appease their customers.

not a legal expert, but I have to imagine that would play a factor

[sour meadow]

was always curious if EA could be liable for it if they ever removed specialists and replaced them with the AI models

because they made a whole trailer about the specialists

[lilac dust]

Although I would've been pissed if they got removed before the store got opened up cos of the tier 1 skins I have. I'm sure a lot would have been pissed lol .... but for some reason a few people that tier 1'd every specialist in the game were asking for their removal lmao

[copper fulcrum]

Changing gameplay elements won't lead to a lawsuit, no.

[arctic grove]

I feel like they could just make the AI models purchasable skins

[foggy halo]

Dude I don’t like the game either, but you need to calm down with that hate. Suing a company for releasing a shit game is unreasonable since you see what’s the game like on youtube

[sour meadow]

that would be sinister

[sour meadow]

what hate? i'm not hating on anything

[copper fulcrum]

But removing things that people have bought might lead to one, depending on what the contract for users are to play the games

[lilac dust]

Wait what he's just asking reasonable questions lol

[arctic grove]

I know it took v a while to get realistic skins and then made them paid anyways so that’s honestly all I could guess DICE will pull here, they know we want them anyways

[sour meadow]

i mean yea the specialists are annoying but i don't hate them

[lilac dust]

Huge difference between pure curiosity and hating something lol

[copper fulcrum]

Don't be sad

[wheat bone]

Be glad

[sour meadow]

I wish DICE added Ryder from GTA SA as a specialist

he just calls enemies "busta" and they fall over dead

and his EOR quip would be "Ryder insert bad word here"

wait are EOR quips coming back in 1.2

[arctic grove]

I couldn’t be sure here but I think the voice changes are for the pre deployment screen

[sour meadow]

i hope so

the removal of EOR quips was a good idea

[arctic grove]

There’s no cool EOR quips imo

They’re just not necessary to begin with

[solar tinsel]

I'm of the impression 1.2 just adds the new models

[sour meadow]

are the updated models for every specialist or just some

[solar tinsel]

In this update, we are** revising our art direction** to ensure Specialists meet your Style and Tone expectations for our world of 2042.** You will notice updated Specialist character models** to better reflect the intense situations they have experienced.

I think just some

There you go

[solar tinsel]

thanks ha

[copper fulcrum]

You're not welcome.

[sour meadow]

besides some facial hair, i don't see much of a difference

[solar tinsel]

😦

its ok, I shouldnt be sad

[copper fulcrum]

Start running.

[sour meadow]

Mackay got an ascot or w/e

[solar tinsel]

thats just how it works out sometimes

the real test will be how they render in game. A pre-rendered image that can be hand-crafted doesn't show much

[arctic grove]

By the way the patch notes worded it it seems there’ll be more changes over the course of the games support

[solar tinsel]

sometimes they look goofy as hell in the actual in-game animations

[sour meadow]

i want new disasters. maybe a wildfire that sweeps up a map

[foggy halo]

You don’t go to be a combat soldier if you are that old
But maybe it’s 2042 so human advancement made humans strong

[solar tinsel]

correct, yeah VO lines are changing too later

[hidden sand]

Yeah they'll look the same as models do now on current animations. So it'll look bad. Better than nothing though.

[sour meadow]

that wouldn't even be that hard. just use the same like direction code from tornados

[solar tinsel]

I'd hope they would have at least looked at the animations and tried to smooth some of it out, but we'll see

[sour meadow]

or maybe earthquakes/tremors

fuck up ya aim

add a snowstorm whiteout. then add thermals

[arctic grove]

Sundance looks like a badass woman

[ebon fern]

Another week and no jet fixes, they must hate those vehicles so much lol

[arctic grove]

Sundance needs an Afro tbh

[sour meadow]

i just wish they handled better

[solar tinsel]

yeahh.... yeahhh... sadly ha

[ebon fern]

they fly like tanks, never seen so bad physics man

[hexed mango]

[arctic grove]

Introduce advanced war thunder flight mechanics

[hexed mango]

such bad*

[solar tinsel]

I also feel like I never get a good sense of where the cannon are going to steer. I'll have flown straight for a while (so I shouldnt have any more horizontal momentum) and it still feels like it's carrying some

not to mention 30mm are so spready

[foggy halo]

thank you

[hexed mango]

no

[foggy halo]

😢

[ebon fern]

also what ive noticed that nose up bouncing gives me a real headache, like the crosshair tries to re-center all the time

[hexed mango]

now with 1.2 since we're getting a stats dashboard, i hope TRN gets fucking updated

[pine roost]

I mean. They could at least add a directional indicator as to where you are flying to counter that somewhat, but nah

[hexed mango]

want me to suggest that

[solar tinsel]

ha yah what the heck happened to the UI in this game

[copper fulcrum]

New look at the objective my team holds... and the only objective

[ebon fern]

yeah it is more like you flying against your own jet, then the others lol

[solar tinsel]

even for choppers too, being able to see gunner direction

[hexed mango]

i speak from experience, as T1 F-35, you all lack skill

[solar tinsel]

and gunners able to see their aim relative to center

[pine roost]

I’d prefer them to adjust the physics somewhat, but it is indeed one of those legacy features that is missed

[solar tinsel]

I aways need to look up and find the front of the damn chopper to see

[hexed mango]

ill send both then

[ebon fern]

dude you are so annoying really, we talk about physics and you just copy your damn skill-issue all the time

[solar tinsel]

seriously. Plus when trying to follow some jets, especially with the 30mm, the projectiles are so slow they fall literally behind the console

[arctic grove]

Massive skill deficit

[pine roost]

You got contacts?

[solar tinsel]

so trying to fly + aim + see your target is an awkward dance

[hexed mango]

skill issue

[hexed mango]

this guy gets it

[ebon fern]

whatever lol

[violet meteor]

what will the update consist of tmrw

yeah i think its a skill issue to read properly what people saying

The bouncing for planes gets annoying.

[hexed mango]

did you rig the update release

It's that easy folks

[next onyx]

2% deadzones makes everything usable at least.

[pine roost]

Even pilots that have been flying for years are avoiding jets in this game, what does that tell you about them

[still vault]

Approx 1,8 games per day for me to reach level 115 (currently 90) and get the tier 1 season 1 badge.
If my excel math doesn't suck that is.

[next onyx]

Jets are shit.

[ebon fern]

yeah totally, like im trying to muscle memory but the re-centering is so harsh

[violet meteor]

Jets, most useless vehicle in 2042

[hexed mango]

big brain

[next onyx]

Jets are only good against each other in air superiority but asides from that nah.

[hexed mango]

i only need like 20 more points till T1 badge

[next onyx]

I could try for tier 1 f35 or su57 but I kinda don't care.

[ebon fern]

purple people say totally skill issue

[next onyx]

I'm pushing for tier 1 stealth chopper.

[hidden sand]

Bet you could do it lmao.

[next onyx]

Oh I could.

[hexed mango]

wait carb you only need 20k xp per point
i need 32k

[next onyx]

But the question is how much mental anguish do I need to go through.

I'd rather not considering this game.

[hexed mango]

become one of us

[arctic grove]

Does it really go up to 20k for a battlepass point?

[still vault]

That is my guesstimated average xp needed.

[hexed mango]

it goes up more

[next onyx]

Yeah it does msgt.

[hexed mango]

nice

[next onyx]

I need 23K per token.

[hidden sand]

Not even a million dollars could get me to tier 1 jets in this game.

[hexed mango]

but carb, did you rig the update release????

cause...

i guessed "when i wake up, i want to see august update" and then boom

[still vault]

I said I would.

[arctic grove]

[hexed mango]

yes.

[drowsy shuttle]

The BSV-M Full Auto mode now receives an accuracy penalty, and High Power rounds now lose damage faster over distance <-- oh no! how the scrubs gonna get kills now? :(

now thats hot

[pine roost]

I’ve seen that, the 25mm buff is a good one

[next onyx]

30mm's are way better than the 25mm. Might just be a me thing since I'm used to the velocity.

[still vault]

I also told people I would make it release on the 31st, that way I was always right

[pine roost]

One thing I’m glad theyve done

[ebon fern]

i guess they couldn't fix the mouse input for the infrantry gameplay yet, such basic things - how the hell they gonna fix something on vehicles then

[hexed mango]

[arctic grove]

The new Kaleidescope map gives me BF4 vibes

[gloomy wyvern]

Is it good or no?

[pine roost]

It’s not a problem with the game, aim assist is perfectly fine, it’s all just a skill issue :|

[arctic grove]

It looks good

[next onyx]

I think it's just how underdeveloped this game is moving to a new engine because there is a small bit of input delay with everything.

[hexed mango]

tbh i didnt really see much different from when they talked about it in may from the notes today

[arctic grove]

Tomorrow we should be able to play it

[gloomy wyvern]

But does it flow better?

[arctic grove]

We dont know until the new update drops

[next onyx]

Oh yeah Danny calling aim assist ambot is the funniest shit.

[ebon fern]

Like basic things, mouse input still feels like you play Counterstrike 1.2 beta 😄

[next onyx]

It feels a bit better I will admit.

[solar tinsel]

no aim assist was complete garbage 😆

[arctic grove]

Bro aim assist on console didnt need a buff. It was good as is lmao but i guess fellow console scrubs wanted more help.

[hidden sand]

Damn you have a good point there.

[arctic grove]

Thanks morb

[next onyx]

I just need to get my ads sens 1:1 with my free aim sens.

[solar tinsel]

and aim assist is even more problematic if you're a lower sens. player

[next onyx]

The pain of fine tuning...

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 20(4)2

[solar tinsel]

because most often then not the tracking didn't work, it just applied a slowdown to your sens. as a flat modifier

[wraith cobalt]

God damn dice give a map browser. Cant play discarded anymore. :<

[next onyx]

Yeah the flat slow down was just awful.

[hexed mango]

discarded poop

[next onyx]

I hope the new aim assist will help

[solar tinsel]

There's a great video that demonstrated the problem if you never played on controller before

[ebon fern]

overrated, i miss battle-log so much

[hexed mango]

top 3 things in 1.2:

• Kale rework
• Stats Page
• Era-specific MCOMs

[tranquil turtle]

did they once again make the hazard zone update early

[tranquil turtle]

new portal blocks too

[solar tinsel]

for those interested: https://youtu.be/0Oc9jQbsyU0?t=76

[tranquil turtle]

you have virtually full control over objectives now

[brazen steppe]

1.2 looking good, can’t wait to try it

[hexed mango]

true that on capture one is neat

i just hate doing block code

[solar tinsel]

same, even on console, having a shared stats page for all of your BF games

[tranquil turtle]

my assault gamemode will finally work

since before it still bled tickets when the objectives were disabled

[tranquil turtle]

it's finicky

[next onyx]

Battlefield has always handled aim assist extremely well.

[ebon fern]

Battlelog was just perfect, it had all good stuff, a great view on everything, great stats tracking

[tranquil turtle]

like, why use a condition when if statements exist

[next onyx]

And I'm glad for that portion of the player base.

I just hope they can fix general input.

[hexed mango]

i really want dice to make their stats api open ended

[solar tinsel]

yeah it's wild to think it got changed all of a sudden. Same engine right?

[arctic grove]

It already felt fine tbh. Idk why console players complained for a buff

[solar tinsel]

Watch the link I shared

[arctic grove]

will do

[solar tinsel]

It typically never actually tracked. IF it did, it was very rare and sudden.

[bronze steeple]

Looks great

[arctic grove]

Yeah, it was awful

[solar tinsel]

Most times, it just applied a flat slowdown to your aim. I'm also convinced that the snapping never really even does anthing, but thats another conversation

[hidden sand]

Not really the issue. Aim assist is actually hurting your aim at the moment, because it attaches it self inconsistently to players and will slow your sens down a lot.

[next onyx]

New engine iteration yes. They had to update frostbite to run 128p with all these others things.

[solar tinsel]

the big issue was rather than actually track targets, theres a magic bubble that slows down your aim so you can't even catch up to targets. That video example is someone at full sensitivity too. Even worse when you have lower sens

[solar tinsel]

ah, interesting how that potentially could have impacted the aim assist

[next onyx]

Think of how an engine runs a car. Think of how it then needs to be modified to handle specific parts of the car as it functions.

[hexed mango]

i hope 1.2 adds another secret weather event

[hidden sand]

Hopefully it's actually fixed this update.

[solar tinsel]

maybe the cross-play/input stuff

[next onyx]

Some things get lost in the upgrade.

[pine roost]

Could you not just use the uniform soldier aiming option to do that?

[next onyx]

So you tweak it.

[pine roost]

Fairly sure it’s 1:1 but even if it isn’t, it’s consistent between fovs

[arctic grove]

Maybe: Floods, Wildfires, Earthquake, Blizzard

[next onyx]

Yeah I have USA on at 178% since I'm on a 27 inch.

I noticed my ads sens is a little slower.

[hidden sand]

Is your ADS sens at 100?

[next onyx]

So a wonder what an ads sens of 1.1x will do.

Uh it's untouched.

[pine roost]

I just use 0%, Someone suggested to me and it’s been the same ever since

[solar tinsel]

I might toy with USA a little bit. Im a low sens player, and aiming with stuff like the SOFLAM or AA missles feels so dang slow ha

[ebon fern]

Eh i remember playing BF3 where you had mouse raw input "1" and in-game sensitivity, THATS it - now you have aim assist, that assist, hover assist and and ... for what?

[next onyx]

Haha. 75 sens go brr.

[twilit heath]

how do you install the new update lmao

[solar tinsel]

it's not out yet

[next onyx]

I can't go 70 other wise it's too slow. 80 it's a bit too fast. -.-

[twilit heath]

ohh

I didn’t even check the date

[solar tinsel]

tomorrow

[twilit heath]

does anyone know what it’s on

[hexed mango]

bozo

[next onyx]

When it's ruddy the game will automatically download it.

[hexed mango]

ruddy

[arctic grove]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/wdql0u/paik_turns_into_lion_from_r6s/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb Gonna main Paik now. She looks cute in the new glow up

[low timber]

<t:1659427200:R>

[solar tinsel]

That said, I am mentally prepared for PC players to suddenly complain about console players being OP, when console players have pretty much had a handicap on an already inferior input 😆

[violet meteor]

The time it took to ask could have been spent going to the site and getting the answer along with all the info on the update

[solar tinsel]

Don't get me wrong, I hope aim assist isn't so strong it becomes an aimbot, but it just needs to be decent aim assist like SO many other FPS games get correct

[still vault]

Or you know, pins, #game-news #direct-communication etc. 😄

But it is ok

[violet meteor]

Crazy

Unheard of, you and your logic, get out!

[sweet barn]

AI flying planes?

[violet meteor]

I'm sure they are still better pilots than me

[pine roost]

You can spawn on them and take them over right?

[sweet barn]

will they add extra vehicles slots that will be reserved for bots only?

[violet meteor]

Yeah any vehicle. Even if it's full of ai you can jump in and they give it up instantly

[arctic grove]

In solo/co-op and portal I’m sure they mean

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/wd4cww/e_for_effort/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb @hexed mango another jet video

[pine roost]

Good

[arctic grove]

But in AOW they’ll just leave the plane

Or any vehicle they’re in

[wide shore]

I hope they pull a San Andreas aircraft NPC and just crash into everything

[pine roost]

I just want to have the chance to fly a jet

[arctic grove]

gonna spawn on their planes just to crash

[wide shore]

[pine roost]

Or I could just go back and fly in bf1 while I wait for the chase camera option to be added

Praying for that to be added in this update

It’s nearly nauseating flying without that

[ebon fern]

You mean the Chase Roll Camera option they took away, after 30 mins = Disorientation and brain damage when flying

[clear flume]

I just gotta ask what kind of dumbass balanced these guns lol

[wise iron]

Bought the game today. Unpopular opinion and dunno about you guys but i genuinely had a lot of fun playing the game and it’s starting to be quite good.

[pine roost]

I know some like it on, but feel like I’m far more aware when it doesn’t roll

[ebon fern]

oh yeah buddy tell me about it hehe

[solar tinsel]

honestly other than the K30 and BSV-M, I find the weapon balance isn't all that bad, and those 2 are getting addressed in 1.2

[clear flume]

It's them and the scar

[ebon fern]

you forget need to wait 1 min when the loop finishes 😄

[pine roost]

Having learnt to fly with the roll off, it’s impossible to get used to it on, so I just wait patiently :)

[next onyx]

Scar needs to 4HK range reduced to 50m.

[ebon fern]

maybe they add the option again ... oh well lets say some day 😄

[next onyx]

I swear they reduced it.

[twilit heath]

do you guys have tips for air combat

[pine roost]

It was there during the beta, I distinctly remember it. But then at launch it vanished

[next onyx]

Whatever. I'm going to get 20k with it.

[pine roost]

Much like the headshot sound option

[twilit heath]

like best sens or some stuff like that

[wise iron]

Are SMG’s any good in conquest if i roll with the flying lady and play agressively?

[twilit heath]

cause i’m getting like 25-40kills a game on foot but like none in air

[clear flume]

Hit your shots and you'll be fine. Unless against Scar, BSV, or K30.

[pine roost]

Pc or controller?

[edgy oriole]

All smgs are good no matter what

[wise iron]

I find the starting SMG to be quite okay

[low timber]

Should I 20k the 12M
(I won’t, would take way too long)

[hexed mango]

k30 and mp9 just got nerfed

[tranquil turtle]

bind pitch up to space

makes it a lot easier to fly

[last swift]

AA missile buff

[edgy oriole]

Mp9 been trash I hate that gun.

[small ember]

It’s pretty good but won’t win against some of the others

[next onyx]

Reckon you should push it?

Just use a gun you enjoy.

[small ember]

Hip fire I find best part of the starting smg

[next onyx]

They've buffed the PBX isn't a respectable gun.

Which is nice.

[small ember]

It’s stupid at range with the right build tho

[low timber]

Maybe once a shotgun doesn’t loose on shotgun range to SMGs

[wise iron]

lvl 9 or sum so don’t know much about the game but just going off my gut, i think playing sundance with smg in a really fast way suits me much more than actually being useful lol

[solar tinsel]

I was honestly surprised the MP9 got a nerf

[next onyx]

Try Mackay. He's faster.

[low timber]

But currently I am concentrating to T1 as many weapons and specialists I can

[next onyx]

I'm gonna try getting tier 1 for the semis.

[small ember]

She’s op in general her spam on the nades are annoying to teams lol

[edgy oriole]

From looking at k30 nerf I don't think k it'll be too much of an issue since it's 1200 RPM

[low timber]

Well on specialists it’s just Lis where I’m waiting the buff in mastery.

[hexed mango]

probably requires an extra bullet or smth now

[solar tinsel]

hopefully it will bring it in line with the other weapons at least. Im all for small isolated changes to see how they perform

[wise iron]

I wish sundance could drop the nades mid flight, would be cool but kinda op i reckon

[small ember]

K30 is so stupid still doesn’t feel nerfed lol

[low timber]

I have all automatic weapons, and AC-42 on T1, so all side arms, DMRs, bolts, pumps, levers and bows left.
