battlefield-2042

[wise iron]

Is the K30 like really op

[honest comet]

they said they nerfed it

now i dont know but before it was too op

[tepid agate]

Funny because I'm not interested to play the game but interested to see all these stats lol

[tacit sphinx]

i will say i think helis perform mostly pretty similar but their counters have been improved, the stinger and the AA cannons on the wildcat both deal more damage and have more range i think

[honest comet]

better

[upbeat sand]

Attack hele>stealth

[tepid agate]

I actually have more assist in this game than kills 😄

[honest comet]

peoples guy 🙂

[tepid agate]

11,673 kills
11,918 assists

[honest comet]

support is in your blood

[tacit sphinx]

jeez

i have about twice as many kills as assists

[tepid agate]

I'm more of a boots on ground player so don't expect many kills lol I don't often use vechiles

[honest comet]

same but still dont have that many assist tho

[tepid agate]

I have 9 specialists to mastery though so many assist came from Rao, Paik and Casper

I have about 30k spots

[tame cobalt]

GG dice, Kaleidoscope 2.0 is a fantastic improvement. Should've launched like this. Visually it could still be improved with more dirt and debris.

[tepid agate]

Well even though I have more assists than kills.... I have fired almost 400,000 shots 😂 😄

[upbeat sand]

If the reveal trailer said something like late 2022-23 instead of 2021 it would of gotten some waiting slack but also the game would of gotten way less hate

[whole lake]

Yeah but they need cash sadly

[tepid agate]

It was for Christmas sales

Probably to help pay for their other studio

[upbeat sand]

Same reason sonic06 was rushed

[tepid agate]

Good thing there's other good games to play

[whole lake]

I think it's to compete with cod

[tepid agate]

All the hype is coming for MW2

I may try

[whole lake]

I will not with that price tag

[tepid agate]

I just get the cheapest one lol

Probably still had to pay more for the launch of 2042 omg

[whole lake]

Still $70. Fuck that. Cod isn't that fun lol

[wise iron]

Hourglass is such a beautiful map

[upbeat sand]

I don't really like the small maps with 6x6 or 3x3 or whatever cod has

[tepid agate]

2042 was not worth that price either lol

[wise iron]

No game is worth 70€ change my mind

[proper pulsar]

i mean i love cods campaigns

[whole lake]

Yeah I agree. But I rather give it to bf then cod but neither if they're not doing what the consumer wants. I just haven't like cod in a long time. I grabbed modern warfare cause of crossplay and hype and just hated the gunplay but everyone else loves it... So hard to argue

[upbeat sand]

Most of them are med-good but then vanguard's campaign happened

[tepid agate]

I'd love to refund and try cod lol

[proper pulsar]

tbh i havent seen any campaign past cod mw remastered

but everything before it

i really liked it

[upbeat sand]

Yeah this were good

Except train go boom

[outer anchor]

Is the patch out?

[upbeat sand]

Yes

[outer anchor]

How is dozer

[upbeat sand]

They didn't touch him that much

[proper pulsar]

big

[upbeat sand]

Mostly the same

[proper pulsar]

dozer a big boy

[whole lake]

About to load the game up if you want anything specific

[outer anchor]

The shield doesnt lock onto people?

[upbeat sand]

Lock on?

[tame cobalt]

Bro the ntw is actually gonna make me deaf

[proper pulsar]

ntw?

[outer anchor]

50cal

[upbeat sand]

?/

[tame cobalt]

Did u guys see they secretly added a new drone in the new update

[upbeat sand]

Wait what

[solid imp]

wwwwwhat?

[upbeat sand]

RANGER 2 CONFORMED

[solid imp]

I'm stuck at work today man, don't tease without details lol

[tame cobalt]

I'll dm, then u should post it here

[solid imp]

🤣 I see you

[wide grotto]

Is aim assist fixed now?

[upbeat sand]

Should be

[tame cobalt]

Post it here pls

[warm depot]

Just tried this, didn't work

[wide grotto]

I hope so too. Will find out soon. Have not played yet

[solid imp]

lol that's some invisi guy polaris

[tame cobalt]

Lel

[solid imp]

I love that idea tho of a ground RC "drone" vehicle

I miss the little zap zap bot from BF4

[tame cobalt]

I can't post the gif here cuz no embeds

[solid imp]

ok I will do this thing on your behalf

[tame cobalt]

new drone

[lime crystal]

angel is no longer sad

wait

he is actually sad now

[frosty mural]

lis rocket is broken - you can't ADS when you fire a rocket..

[proper pulsar]

Maybe a drone that runs around ressuplying people and healing them or even reviving downed ones

[gray leaf]

what happened to the ads?

its weird

it changed

idk if its a good or bad change

[tame cobalt]

This game is slowly getting sooo good, PLEASE let it have a year 2

[gray leaf]

exactly

[gray leaf]

its starting to be more like the modern battlefield 4 we all hoped 4 at launch

i waited 9 months before buying the game

[lilac dust]

DICE have a track record of making every battlefield very good by the end of it's life cycle.... I hope they make enough money from MTX to keep it going lol

[tame cobalt]

The community will have to let them know we want a year 2, before it's too late

Because it's a decision they will make before year 1 ends

Cuz that year 2 content will need to be in production long before then

[lilac dust]

Sadly all the refunders will ignore the huge improvements and not support it, then when next battlefield comes out they'll buy it then get a refund, then ignore it, then rinse repeat

[lusty temple]

Yeah I don't think there's gonna be a year 2

[tame cobalt]

F

Gonna be so boring having no new content for a year or more while waiting for the next game.

[lusty temple]

Ea's priority right now is to get all the year 1 content out of the way to focus on the new game

Probably

[next onyx]

EA rushed this game out and I wouldn't be surprised that the next one will be.

[lilac dust]

If next BF comes out too soon then I'm just gonna stick with 2042 and give it more love than I gave to BF4 (and I gave a lot of love to that game)

[tame cobalt]

When season 3 launches they should put out some big marketing about how the game has improved and put it on gamepass and ps+. A marketing campaign and a wide release on subscriptions could make big waves

[lusty temple]

Because low player count = no money transactions for store items which = no good profit which then means = abandon game

[still vault]

If you wonder what and who you died to there is now a damage log option in general --> network options.

[solid imp]

That's slick

[lilac dust]

The fact that support for hazard zone is cut and they won't make it free to play is pathetic... They would instantly realize that outsiders like the way the game feels and they would probably support it

[honest comet]

nobody plays hazard zone anyway lol

[solid imp]

Yet every patch has added or updated things in HZ.. maybe those were already in the pipeline but it doesn't look like HZ support was truly dropped.

[honest comet]

i still didnt even went once into it

[lilac dust]

They already confirmed that those changes were planned a long time ago before the call to cut support was made

[lilac dust]

That's exactly my point lol

[ebon sand]

Anyone on ps5 and wanna play or na

[solid imp]

Yeah that makes sense. I enjoyed my time in HZ the couple times I gave it a whirl. Just didn't feel like there was enough to do to keep it interesting. Cool experiment but it was the right move to amputate that 1/3 of the game to support the other 2/3.

[honest comet]

they shouldve tried to make free to play

battle royal

[lusty temple]

They gotta make hazard zone free in season 3 like come on

[honest comet]

like real battle royal

[lilac dust]

Free to play anything will always bring more players in. Even if it's dogshit, it's still a high quality piece of dogshit (hazard zone)

[honest comet]

yeah

they shouldve done somethin like warzone

[lusty temple]

There's no way they are still making patches to that mode with a player count that's barely above a hundred

[honest comet]

and they would earn tons of money

but u know, ea dont let anything be free

[solid imp]

But dang those 100 notepads have recovered a lot of intel drives 🙂

[tame cobalt]

Free to play should be the whole game.

[honest comet]

nop lol

[solid imp]

no.....

[honest comet]

that would be dumbest move ever

[lilac dust]

I wonder how hard it was for respawn to convince EA to let apex legends be free lol

[lusty temple]

That's like 60 dollars out the window for me and even more for others

[tame cobalt]

If the community has a problem with that for some idiotic reason, they should at least put the game on all subscription services. Get player count as high as possible

[honest comet]

hahah indeed

[tame cobalt]

Making hazard zone f2p will achieve nothing. No one cares about HZ

[tranquil turtle]

What's worse is that they release the patches way before the patch notes

[honest comet]

probs they had to gib them their asses literally haha

[solid imp]

What's your new name going to be?

[tranquil turtle]

I have no idea

[honest comet]

also they should have free to play weekends sometimes

[tranquil turtle]

This

[honest comet]

to bring new ppl into game

[tame cobalt]

This logic makes absolutely no sense my guy. Do you lose money every time the game goes on sale as well?

[lilac dust]

There are millions of gamers that have never touched 2042. I think you underestimate the power of making anything F2P

[honest comet]

lol

[proper pulsar]

imo they should focus more on this game as it has good potential even tho it has had some bad first impressions which kinda control its reputation

[lusty temple]

The Intel drives shouldve been some monetary item that unlocked cool cosmetics or something rather than just to buy guns again

[tame cobalt]

People really think they lose money when a game goes f2p? You lose nothing, others gain something.

[upper socket]

They should tweak the title so people dont recognize its bf2042

[honest comet]

hahah gud idea

[tranquil turtle]

Did the update drop yet

[tame cobalt]

Look at fall guys massive success from going f2p.

[upper socket]

Yes

[honest comet]

dude u can compare that to triple A game

lololol

[proper pulsar]

i mean u lose dumb people like us who willing to pay so much for this game

[solid imp]

I didn't mind the weapon "rental" type system but that was definitely one area where there just wasn't enough to do. Some permanent weapons purchases with gunsmithing, unexpected events during gameplay to throw things for a loop

[tame cobalt]

But i know the bf community is incredibly petty so they can't go fully f2p, so they should at least just put it on gamepass, ps+, and ea play.

[solid imp]

Weapon drops in-game to sort of borrow from loot/shoot motif

[honest comet]

fall guys is super ez to make

[lusty temple]

Their first release was successful until among us

[tranquil turtle]

Add a supply drop or something

Free loadout change

[honest comet]

i bet one dev can create game like fall guys lol

[lusty temple]

That's literally angel

[tame cobalt]

So only low budget games should make sensible business decisions that lead to high profit?

[lilac dust]

I think EA are scared that even if a mode as dogshit as hazard zone goes free to play. It still gives access to all the specialists and guns and gadgets and some vehicles that they are afraid it will lower sale potential of the next battlefield game. Sounds dumb as hell, but this is EA we're talking about

[tranquil turtle]

What about a bomber you can control like in some bf4 maps

[honest comet]

no but u cant compare those 2

[tame cobalt]

Why not?

[solid imp]

New bomber specialist when 🙂

[vague horizon]

wondering when 2042 will have a optimization update

[honest comet]

in other words they have low budget and making them free is best thing to do

[upper socket]

Imagine they added the b29 superfortress in game

[honest comet]

but when u need to spend millions on one title

then its not that ez

to bring earned money back

[tame cobalt]

You don't want a return on that investment? Makes no sense

[honest comet]

do u know how many copys bf sold?

of 2042?

[tame cobalt]

A lot

[solid imp]

Hahaha took me way too long to realize you literally just changed your name. Agreed on the new ... also would make total sense given that AI can now fly jets. I feel like that frees up some room to do this.

[tame cobalt]

But that initial wave of full price sales is long gone.

[honest comet]

4.23 million in first week

at least thats what sources say

now times 60 dollars

253 mils

[tame cobalt]

Going forward f2p is the best business strategy (if the game is good)

[upper socket]

Question: is it a bad idea to play crossplay on controller, ive never not done crossplay on controller

[still vault]

Don't really know as numbers are spread over Steam, Origin, Epic, Microsoft, Sony + other retailers etc. etc. Just too many variables. EA will know and that is about it.

[honest comet]

huh depends how good u are

but it is harder

[upper socket]

Never turned off crossplay, dont wanna wait longer for matches

I should prob make custom binds

[vague horizon]

theres more crossplay servers ngl

[tame cobalt]

Since they fixed the aim assist today, it's no longer a bad idea

[vague horizon]

people stick to that than having to wait an hour to join a specific server lobby

[upper socket]

Yes perfect

[honest comet]

i dont play crossplay tbh

bcs of cheaters

[pine roost]

Me neither

[honest comet]

plus pc is unfair

lol

[pine roost]

I just want to play with my own input

[upper socket]

I should make custom binds, i dont feel like learning claw

[vague horizon]

how active are ps committed lobbies

[honest comet]

very active

i never have issues

[vague horizon]

hm

[upper socket]

Cool ill give it a shot rn

[tame cobalt]

Whuts claw

I play with aim and shoot on bumpers

It's better

[solid imp]

I bet there is an EA exec who was thrilled about the release of BF3:RM given that EA is still spending to maintain Battlelog. That's free money from even a handful of people buying BF3 years later. But that's where I have more questions, what's the run cost once the game is pushed out the door? It's not like dollars earned from selling titles goes straight into the next game. It costs a lot given they are doing all the server hosting for BF1 through 2042.

[upper socket]

Look it up its a sytle of controller holding

Oh

Cool

Wait bumpers are the joysticks right?

Or no

[tame cobalt]

No r1 and l1

[upper socket]

Wait im stupid

Ok

[tame cobalt]

Swap the bumpers and triggers

[upper socket]

Aaht

[tame cobalt]

And put crouch on R3

[upper socket]

Ok ill give it a shot

[tame cobalt]

[lusty temple]

Trap specialist would probably be abused by campers

Like what is the trap gonna even be

[tame cobalt]

Fart bomb

[honest comet]

anyway now that they changed aim assist

im worried it will mess up my aim

lol

[next onyx]

I loved how people were losing their minds over aim assist being fixed.

[lusty temple]

Theyre saying that aim assist is stronger which I'm not sure about

[tame cobalt]

Just keep aim assist zoom snap off and you should be good

[next onyx]

As if they knew anything about how it functioned.

[lusty temple]

Better aim assist means weaker free aim

[honest comet]

well i didnt want change tbh lol

[pine roost]

Btw the post 1.2 update stream is up now on twitch for those interested

[honest comet]

ppl will always cry when they suck

[next onyx]

It would be cool if it were made decent.

Problem is that the aim assist was genuinely terrible.

[tame cobalt]

It's enough to know it was broken for tracking targets and it's improved now

[upper socket]

What should i bind jump to

[honest comet]

space if keyboard

lol

[upper socket]

On controller?

[honest comet]

x

for ps5

[upper socket]

K done

[next onyx]

Through testing it would slow down your aim when you looked at the guy, Standard practice but that slowdown radius was so large that it would activate when not looking at them directly if that makes sense.

SMK did a video on it.

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 2042 Moment

[honest comet]

l2 and r2 for aim shoot

[hallow sierra]

anyone notice dat theres a new music playng after EOR

[next onyx]

https://youtu.be/0Oc9jQbsyU0

[honest comet]

o for crouch

and so on lol

[next onyx]

Haven't played the game properly, Only wanted to test out specifics.

[tame cobalt]

R3 for crouch

[hallow sierra]

how yall is play with o or b for crouch

[tame cobalt]

And this is all because we don't have controllers with triggers stops or back paddles

[arctic grove]

i use C for crouch lol

[hallow sierra]

tbh im fine without back paddles

[tame cobalt]

If they make a ps5 pro controller with extended battery life and trigger stops and back buttons, I'd buy it

[vague horizon]

never know, they might as well do that in the future

[lethal flame]

does anyone else get told their update size is 55gb everytime there's an update

on PC

[vague horizon]

w-

55 GB?!

[lethal flame]

every. time.

[vague horizon]

....

COD MW update file sizes, but i think that might be a bug or something

[lethal flame]

i end up having to delete and reinstall the game because nothing happens when the update finishes, and 55gb is the size of the game so clearly somethings wrong

happened last update, thought i was tripping. But now did it again on new update

[proper pulsar]

wym

[fierce solar]

do you guys feel any difference when shooting after the aim assist fix ?

[vague horizon]

i cant check for myself cus my pc is in the repairshop rn

[proper pulsar]

wym by nothing happened

[lethal flame]

the update will go through, complete, and then restart

[vague horizon]

restart the update process?

[lethal flame]

I tried last time, only solution in the end was just deleting the game and reinstalling. Just wanted to see if anyone else has had the problem. Ive downloaded a million games and its the only game ive ever experienced this with

[proper pulsar]

idk never happened to me

[vague horizon]

neither have I

[lethal flame]

such an odd bug

[honest comet]

that works as well

[vague horizon]

an annoying one too, just by listening to it

[low timber]

Oh yeah, there’s new M-COMs, forgot already, one for 1942, the old one for BC2, new one to BF3 and a new one to 2042.

[fierce solar]

do you guys have a link to patch notes ?

[proper pulsar]

btw when does every weekly mission start

[lilac dust]

Thursday

[proper pulsar]

alr ty

[tame cobalt]

Dice should give 2042 extended support and take their time with the next release

[rocky kraken]

Agreed

[lilac dust]

[vague horizon]

yuppp

[empty vortex]

i dont see a channel 4 it but is there a place on this discord where i can report bugs, i think i know whats causing the bug 2 trigger and its happening 2 all weapons

[fierce solar]

is it just me or the aim assist fix didnt really do much

[dapper river]

EA client keeps trying to launch easy anticheat while I'm trying to update the game. That shit is literally malware bruh

[solid imp]

You're probably best going to help.ea.com

[wild sapphire]

Any leaks on season 2 content yet?

[tame cobalt]

No

[proper pulsar]

someone said there was a vid but it got taken down but personally i havent seen anything

[empty vortex]

when playng against AI and killing 2 much enemies 2 quickly it completely bugs out the weapons progression, i have alot of weapons where im many lvls above required lvl 2 unlock attachments, but the attachments stays locked and i tried restarting game mutliple times...

[outer anchor]

dozer feels better

[tame cobalt]

Temporyal is too busy to datamine season 2 leaks

[upper socket]

Loving the gvt rn

[vague horizon]

i wish 128 breakthrough was added back

[arctic grove]

We all do Bowsy

[noble scaffold]

since when was the a10 in portal?

i’m not complaining

[lilac dust]

Hearing them talk about lowering air vehicle count in the last patch and showing no indication that they think it should be reverted makes me feel sick

[noble scaffold]

same

instead of making it balanced against ground thei just remove the chance of you getting an aircraft

[hardy crow]

Oh dang Paik got a buff

[glad mulch]

Anyone else experiencing more crashes on PS5 than usual? I’ve had two crashes so far today, both while playing on hourglass.

[lilac dust]

Haven't crashed in months

But more importantly I haven't crashed since the update

[dapper river]

More air vehicle slots so I can make them seethe with the newly-buffed AA, please

[silver lantern]

Mcs still shit

[balmy halo]

Any performance changes

[proper pulsar]

btw is it impossible to get any skins from previous weekly challenges that were missed

in the pre season

[lilac dust]

Now they're talking about the space they removed from renewal and that it hurt a bit to design it and then remove it.... I wish someone would walk into that room and say "Make it a TDM map"

[silver lantern]

Isnt renewal getting the rework treatment next

[lilac dust]

Oh god when asked about how they felt on season 2 progress they referred to the new content as "New level" ..... Only one map again? GULP

[arctic grove]

Yup

1 new map per season

[lilac dust]

Yep in season 2

[rocky kraken]

Damn it

[silver lantern]

So I assume we get one new map
At the start
And later a map rework

[lilac dust]

I guess the reworking of base maps is getting in the way of having more than 1 new map per season 😦

[arctic grove]

remember when we get 4 new maps with each dlc for 15-20 bucks?? Pepperidge Farms remembers

[rocky kraken]

yes

A memory

[pine roost]

Legacy feature

[silver lantern]

Wish they did kaleidoscope 24/7

[lilac dust]

A rotation is planned for thursday

[upper socket]

Is the gvt fun

[rocky kraken]

Now all the base maps feel trash lol

[pine roost]

But there is such a huge amount of things to fix in 2042 I can kind of see why. But this little content is annoying for us players

[arctic grove]

You think they do that to support the new reworked map

[silver lantern]

It is extremely sexy to use

[upper socket]

Like using the mcs and ntw50 but ill try this

[silver lantern]

Wanna be a futuristic cowboy?
Minus the tuberculosis

[arctic grove]

Easy fix. Hire more devs to support the game or pause the work of the next bf game they are working on.

[rocky kraken]

Are the voice lines different?

[silver lantern]

Isnt it all hands on deck for 2042

[arctic grove]

I expect the 2042 Campaign to be something similar to the Apex Campaign.

[rocky kraken]

That’s what they said

[solid imp]

Buffed slightly but more importantly not actively penalized for using her ability

[silver lantern]

The tone sounds different

[arctic grove]

Supposedly yes

[rocky kraken]

WAit there will be a 2042 campaign?

[silver lantern]

Different dev team

[arctic grove]

We dont know exactly if its 2042 related or not.

[rocky kraken]

Dang it

I would enjoy a good 2042 campaign

[silver lantern]

Ik too early
But next bf game predictions?

[rocky kraken]

A a isn’t it gonna be modern

[arctic grove]

Another 2042 lore game

[silver lantern]

I'm predicting bad company 3

[pine roost]

They’ve finally aknowledged the mouse input problem, but of course controller gets fixed first. I guess I’ll have to wait another month

[silver lantern]

Hopefully
I'm sick of ww2 games

[bronze steeple]

Gonne try it evening

[rocky kraken]

I’m also sick of futuristic games

I want a modern shooter

[silver lantern]

2042 isnt really that futuristic tbf

[solid imp]

Agreed which makes it fully possible for a BF3 or 4 remaster

[upper socket]

Gvt feels good when you get a kill but hard to use, hmm

[silver lantern]

Ngl a bf game set in a post apocalyptic world would be dope

[tulip charm]

Hi, what is master of arms? and how do I get the last point? and where can I check the other challenges or whatever that is https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/550820336397189131/1004053351933165588/unknown.png
cant upload image so here is the link

[hoary kettle]

one new map in season two is kind of unexpected ngl. Thought they said content was a bit light on Season 1 because they were fixing stuff up in their dev video. But hopefully portal weapons come across next season to pad out the offering a bit.

[silver lantern]

2 factions duking it out for water would be a dope setting

[tacit sphinx]

master of arms is a player tag, you can check it in the customise player card menu

[grave prism]

is 4% accuracy good

[upper socket]

Thats what bf2042 is supposed to be

[silver lantern]

No I'm talking

Like

[arctic grove]

Those are legacy games. I dont think they will be going back to those unless its portal

[silver lantern]

Post nuclear

[tacit sphinx]

not very

[solid imp]

been said before but it could go the other way too... BF 2042 BCE.. Egypt vs China vs the Minoans

[tacit sphinx]

but out of interest is that on the BSV-M?

[grave prism]

yes

[tacit sphinx]

yeah

[grave prism]

is it bugged or something lmoa

[tacit sphinx]

mine is 4% as well and i've definitely hit more than 1 shot out of every 25

[silver lantern]

Hell how about we move battlefield on a different planet
Because funni

[solid imp]

I generally agree but if they want to win back a huge chunk of the fanbase they could quite easily do so with this kind of move.

[silver lantern]

Wont lie
a bf4 remaster with updated graphics and fov slider would be dope

[bitter cedar]

Yes or no is it worth reinstalling yet?

[tulip charm]

thx

[silver lantern]

Maybe changes to make the movement less clunky as well

[solid imp]

it was never worth uninstalling for me 🙂 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bitter cedar]

When you have a nasa computer

[arctic grove]

I agree
Hopefully they do remaster 3 and 4

[solid imp]

ehh I did recently upgrade but before was on i7-8700 so the CPU bottleneck was quite real but very playable regardless

[silver lantern]

I just want more shotguns ngl

[upper socket]

Ye

On the topic

Thoughts on the 12m auto?

[silver lantern]

yes

[proper pulsar]

true

[silver lantern]

I FUCKING love the 12m auto

[upper socket]

I dont use it

[lilac dust]

Extremely good. People just assume cos the maps are so big that shotguns will be bad lol

[silver lantern]

Mcs needs a buff

[arctic grove]

Small marksman rifle needs a buff

[silver lantern]

I am right in front of this MFs face
Unloading all I have
He still lives and kills me before I even process what's going on

[thorny orchid]

They should revert some maps back to the 128p layout so they can take advantage of the reworks

the biggest reworked part of kaleidoscope wont be used because its not in breakthrough

[lilac dust]

You talking about breakthrough?

[thorny orchid]

yes

[lilac dust]

Interesting

[thorny orchid]

the part where they raised terrain

and made a fob

is not used

[lilac dust]

damn that sucks

I haven't played on the map yet, but that's weird

[thorny orchid]

yet on the livestream they kept refering to breakthrough with the 128p layout

when they were talking about the new areas they kept saying "good for breakthrough" despite that not even being in breakthrough

[balmy halo]

I just don't get it

[lilac dust]

Wait have you played the reworked map in breakthrough today?

[thorny orchid]

yes

its the 64p layout

[lilac dust]

Huh.... that is very weird then

[thorny orchid]

maybe they revert it later

[balmy halo]

Imo bf5 graphics and 2042 are pretty close looks wise. At least from my eyes

But I get almost 100 fps more on bf5

It makes me boil inside

[lilac dust]

A lot of the BFV devs left during 2042 development so I assume it's the lack of experience across the team with the current engine

[grave prism]

you lose 2 FPS for every player

[balmy halo]

Yea... It makes me feel like I need to upgrade my pc whenever I play 2042

Because I barely am above 70 on medhigh

[silver lantern]

Imo BF5 looks better than 2042
Also I like the gunplay better
But 2042 is modern so that's why I really like it as well

[fierce solar]

There is no way the aim assist is fixed, even up close my aim is everywhere

[grave prism]

5 got this strange look it it, like everything is made of clay or some shit

[lilac dust]

Some maps are undercooked in 2042. Orbital is jaw dropping at times. Manifest also looks very pretty

[balmy halo]

Me too

[lilac dust]

Hourglass looks like a pre alpha map

[silver lantern]

Kaleidoscope looked ugly on release ngl

[thorny orchid]

u still have to aim... lmao

[silver lantern]

Hourglass also looks like shit

[grave prism]

hourglass and the egypt one look like shit

[lilac dust]

I agree. It's just orbital and manifest that look exceptional

[grave prism]

i think its mostly down to the lighting though

[foggy halo]

Orbital isn't special looks wise, but gameplay wise it's a very good map

[silver lantern]

Breakaway is also pretty

[lilac dust]

I'm just talking about graphic fidelity and lighting

[silver lantern]

Largest map
And a sundance mains wet dream

[balmy halo]

I just loaded into a bf5 game and it looked soo good lol

[foggy halo]

😐

[fierce solar]

Yeah no shit, but there's nothing to slow my ads when im aiming at the enemy, in cqb im shooting everywhere but at the body, like i have reverse assist

[silver lantern]

Bf5 is the best bf game
Looks and gameplay wise

[thorny orchid]

aim man aim

[silver lantern]

Idk Imo the animations on that game is more fluid than bf4 and 2042

[thorny orchid]

dont have a robot do it for u

[fierce solar]

this is the only fps game and bf game where im struggling with a single kill

[silver lantern]

Yooo
I fr want wake island in this game

[thorny orchid]

maybe because u have to play differently??

lmao

ur not shroud bruh

[lilac dust]

Honestly whenever I think about the undercooked areas of graphics on 2042 I just compare it BF4 and while even that game did look better overall, it had the most horrific texture issues of any BF game. Even 3 didn't have that idiotic wait 10 seconds for the map to load in. So in that respect 2042 is very nice to look at overall

[silver lantern]

With the exact same EOR as bf5

Bf5 wake island EOR was fucking amazing

[thorny orchid]

honestly if this is the case u gotta spend some time in a aim trainer

lmao

a single kill???

💀😭

[craggy forum]

Is the update any good?

[silver lantern]

Some of the starting themes and end themes are pretty good (Ngl manifest,orbital and exposure have the best ones)
But they lack the sense of urgency

[craggy forum]

I’m still 20 tears from completing the battlepass but im so burnt out

[tiny imp]

BF 2042 better now ya?

[lilac dust]

wait til thursday if you just want to play the new stuff

It's annoying to keep requeuing over and over to try and get kailedoscope

[thorny orchid]

look in portal

maybe somebody has 24/7

[shut prairie]

Is aim assist fixed?

[upper socket]

Yes

[hallow sierra]

can this game stop giving me renwal

[crude light]

https://tenor.com/view/hmm-suspect-gif-22611582

are u sure RAH-68 is nerfed ?

[solid imp]

The Renewal will continue until morale improves

[proper pulsar]

fr i had that phase too but it has ended

[outer anchor]

lmao im getting so many dozer shield kills

feels more reliable now

[silk jasper]

Why aren't my stuff unlocking despite me getting the no. of kills req.

[lilac dust]

ooh did they buff the shield?

[outer anchor]

its just more reliable

[acoustic island]

I feel like dice hates rooftop objectives

[pine roost]

So mouse input is another issue that is going to have to be fixed over the long term, I managed to make a working input system in unity with less than 2 weeks experience. Not quite sure why it has to take that long to fix :/

[elder patrol]

Oh I see they added noshahr canals to aow

[outer anchor]

I used to hit people dead on and it wouldnt "hit" them

[lilac dust]

[outer anchor]

now it kinds of slightly lock onto them I think

just feels more reliable

did they really give rao a goatee?

in 2042 goatee are cool now?

[silk jasper]

Why aren't my stuff unlocking despite me getting the no. of kills req. What do I do to FIX this it has happened to two of my items now

[pine roost]

Gotta say though, that section on vehicle categories did bring a smile to my face

Very pleased to hear about that

[outer anchor]

I hope we will see less helos pilot get 200 kills and 0 death now

cuz it was obviously really balanced before

[pine roost]

Oh and their discussions about the overall map design are interesting to listen to

[pine roost]

The counters have been buffed so I’d imagine it’ll happen less often

People shouldn’t be able to get those numbers off the bat, should take practise to get there

[outer anchor]

hopefully renewal/breakaway rework are coming soon and not in 2 years

[still vault]

You managed to implement tons of different realistic ballistic trajectories to thousands of bullets at a time into online play with 128 players in 2 week?Amazing. EA has a jobs page.

[outer anchor]

they said they have hundreds working on the game

[ember basin]

hey is anyone getting almost pc crashing shit from bf 2042 after new update? can't join a server cause it dies everytime i launch

[outer anchor]

havent had issues yet

what are your pc specs

also the bsv still works like a charm 🙂

[ember basin]

it's over the recommended, i've been playing with no issues until now

[still vault]

No issues here.
You should probably troubleshoot on your end.

[chilly jacinth]

have you tried joining different modes?

[pine roost]

Also I recall someone, I believe it was freeman, saying that kaleidoscope will be getting a 24/7 playlist on Thursday, said so in the chat

Might have been mentioned elsewhere, if so it flew under my radar

Thought it was worth mentioning

[elder patrol]

Oh did they nerf the gvt

[thick tusk]

Good, let's release a map that's been reworked ans then have no good way for players to actually play on it. Lol.

Also why is the feedback channel locked? They say reach them on discord but where do we report feedback?

[charred stag]

Guys did they get rid of air vehicles for breakthrough?

[pine roost]

They pop in on this channel to let people discuss things, otherwise you’ll probably have to go through the 2042 forums or Reddit, if you are brave enough

[charred stag]

Also I'm finally happy they nerfed the damn BSV-M

[chilly jacinth]

its still broken

best gun in the game at all ranges

[charred stag]

Yeah but at least people who use high power rounds won't be able to easily kill from far range

[little lagoon]

Renewal is next season.

[acoustic island]

I’m hoping for a hourglass rework

[lilac dust]

Orbital and manifest can be left out, but every other map desperately needs a rework

[acoustic island]

Agree

[charred stag]

Exposure doesn't need a rework though

[sharp marten]

Holy shit dude 💀

[thick tusk]

I see. I feel like kaleidoscope is much better than it was but I still feel like in a 360 degree area people still are shooting at me from everywhere ans also I can see way too much from one zone to another compared to exodus maps and the new map.

I feel like the map is still to open and the flow of the game is way worse than 64p / maps with way better layouts. You still get shot from miles away running to any flag on kaleidoscope.

[elder patrol]

Exposure is pure bliss

[lilac dust]

Yeah it does exposure sucks

/s

Obviously not referring to exposure lmao

[charred stag]

Lmao

[lilac dust]

Exposure is a masterpiece

at least for 2042's standards

[quiet adder]

Ok glad we’re making the goalpost clear lmao

[thick tusk]

Did you see their new video? These are the 2 maps they are reworking after renewal which I agree are better than the other maps right now lol.

[charred stag]

Yo I'm curious,why did they change the camera angle for takedowns? It's not like the way they show it in the preview

[lilac dust]

I had their livestream on in the background while I was playing, I must've missed that part

[thick tusk]

When they said these are the next 2 maps I was like thinking the same. These are at least semi playable compared to the rest

[charred stag]

I'm surprised breakaway and hourglass weren't next

[thick tusk]

Even discarded has so much open area. Idk how they even launched like this to begin with. Who play tested the base maps and thought they were good???

[lilac dust]

Based on their reasoning for working on kailedoscope and renewal first because their on the smaller side I guess it makes sense they wanna work on 2 other smaller maps like obrital and manifest, but I hope they don't change too much cos I don't have much if anything bad to say about those maps

[thick tusk]

Ehhh they still can be much better imo but yes they weren't nearly as bad as the rest

[little lagoon]

Manifest is too good, don't touch it

Best base game map

Though I haven't really touched kaleidoscopes rework

[oak lake]

This game is so dead, I can’t find single lobby on 128p without cross play

[thick tusk]

I don't think this rework made this map that good. Not close to exposure.

[little lagoon]

Because people only play with crossplay

Game isn't dead

[chilly jacinth]

basically no one turns crossplay off

so makes sense you cant find anything

[lilac dust]

unless you're on PS5

[oak lake]

Yeah, I’m in ps5

[sharp marten]

Weird for a dead game I have no problem finding matches at all

[oak lake]

Used to find matches pretty easily without crossplay

[lilac dust]

Just find someone in a different region if the times you play don't work out. A LOT of PS5 players turn crossplay off. You'd be surprised

[little lagoon]

When it was near launch I turned crossplay on cause I couldn't find shit

And then hey matches start every 15 seconds

[lilac dust]

And since you said "used to" I can confirm. This is still the case. There are still many non crossplay players out there

[little lagoon]

I do decently enough against pc.players I have no reason to turn it off at this point t

[oak lake]

I don’t mind playing with pc folks, but it’s just frustrating to play against m&k

[acoustic island]

Yeah I have many games where I get 40+ kills with around a 2kd so I don’t turn it off

[oak lake]

With this lil thumbstick

[sharp marten]

Freeman get on new kaleidoscope reword dropped

[little lagoon]

I only have issues with m&k with how fast they can turn around and snipers

[stone falcon]

So just quick question. Is it worth getting BF2042 ? Ive had previous battlefield games but took a break and want to get back into it all. is the newest one worth it ?

[little lagoon]

Is it on sale?

[oak lake]

Only managed to find breakthrough 64

[acoustic island]

If you get it on sale for less than $30 it is personally

[stone falcon]

ive found it for £15

[little lagoon]

Then yah

[acoustic island]

Yeah

[solid imp]

They don't use the feedback channel for continuous feedback- it's for their feedback loop on specific topics. They open threads in that channel to funnel feedback just into those topics for a limited time before locking it again.

[stone falcon]

ok will grab it now 🙂

[little lagoon]

It's in solid spot right now

[lilac dust]

I stick to conquest. Had many full games with no bots. Like I said I'd recommend not caring too much about ping and finding someone who plays without crossplay and enjoy those easy kills

[little lagoon]

Not like Battlefield 4,1 or V good spot

But it's slowly getting there

[acoustic island]

2042 is at least fun imo

[little lagoon]

Oh for sure

Don't get me wrong I enjoy my time that I barely play v and 1 now

Think I'm 160h so far

Which is more than hardline and 1

[acoustic island]

Yeah I love the concept of storms

[thick tusk]

I also was surprised at the new video they recorded mentioning all of the map balances in regards to breakthrough and not mentioning conquest at all. Idk what they needed to say about CQ but why only mention new flag areas about breakthrough.

[acoustic island]

As a person in Oklahoma I love the tornados in matches

[dapper river]

remember the breakthrough maps that ended with an objective on top of a skyscraper?

[thick tusk]

Thr tornadoes in this game are similar to real life as the maps are close to real life where you see them in miles of open fields with no cover.

[little lagoon]

Wish they were stronger and more frequent

[lilac dust]

Oh shit.... so that's why the maps have no cover 😳

[little lagoon]

And had different versions like breakaway having a blizzard

Or exposure having an earthquake

Oh well

Imagine a mudslide on exposure lol

[acoustic island]

I would like if they were more destructive

Not frequent where there’s one every match and it’s not cool anymore

[thick tusk]

Didn't we see that as cool as it looked having a tornado doesn't really affect gameplay that much and we just want to play BF as a fps shooter?

[lilac dust]

It feels extra weird that when we are getting only 1 map season they won't even include the weather effects in the new ones

[acoustic island]

Not even rain

[little lagoon]

Did they ever state why there's none on exposure?

[quasi acorn]

How’s the map rework?

[little lagoon]

I rarely see em. I meant as in like one a match cause I go 10 matches without seeing anything

[lilac dust]

Nah I just saw straatford ask a while back if we wanted to see more of it. Which is a shame. Was hoping they had big plans for new stuff on that

[little lagoon]

Shame

[thick tusk]

Imo better but not great. Still feels way too open getting shot at from 369 degrees and you can see way more of thr map and flag areas from any spot compared to exposure/original exodus maps.

[shut prairie]

What sensitivity does lis middle goes off of

[solid imp]

A tornado can make a big impact on BT, not so much CQ. Seen plenty of tornados on BT rip right through where attackers are usually flowing or one that's active just when defense has to fall back to that exact spot. It can make a difference if it happens at just the right time.

[shut prairie]

Missile

[thick tusk]

I play CQ so that'd a fair assessment.

[little lagoon]

I really aught to get back into breakthrough

I just prefer rush

[acoustic island]

I mean the box art shows shipping crates flying around imagine that in manifest

[lilac dust]

They had plans for fire tornadoes, tsunamis and earthquakes in a powerpoint presentation they showed a year or so back. Was hoping we'd see some of those come to fruition. I get that some people don't like tornadoes but if we had new weather effects then they could do some interesting things with them

[thick tusk]

I would try BT on kaleidoscope but yeah idk how to even get into a server for it. I don't want to play the original maps that aren't reworked waiting for it.

[chilly jacinth]

in BT it can really make a team win

if they get lucky with the tornados path

[still vault]

I'm expecting there to come a Kaleidoscope playlist next BP week start, ie. Thursday

[thick tusk]

👍

[little lagoon]

😫

[acoustic island]

It’s most likely gonna be conquest 24/7 but maybe the week after

[little lagoon]

I want more natural disasters dammit

[solid imp]

Just take the sandstorm and recode it to be white and throw it on Breakaway... should be that simple right? 😄 😄

[acoustic island]

I feel like maybe the last gen consoles are to blame on that a little bit

[lilac dust]

With BF4 we got to look forward to new levolution but in this game they're like "Oh you weren't as big a fan of tornados, I guess we better scrap the EVEN cooler stuff we had planned" lmao

[arctic grove]

If this is true then i blame dice for not making 2042 a next gen exclusive

[lilac dust]

"We believe 2042 is a true next gen experience" .... proceeds to release the game on PS4 and XB1

[solid imp]

Not there yet. Even new mw2 is hitting last gen as well. That part is pure marketing/revenue driven, not game performance/optimization.

[acoustic island]

I’ve played the last gen version on my series x and it still sucks ass it’s way more laggy and floaty

[little lagoon]

That would be EA not DICE just a bytheby

[thick tusk]

They just said in their video they had max resources into new maps and couldn't add new cover/objects/terrain unless they removed stuff.

Imo remove the tornadoes to free up resources and time to make better and more quantity of maps

[arctic grove]

EA moment

[quiet shell]

I havent had a chance to confirm it up close but I think the characters now have animations for getting shot while alive. I've seen some of the guys I shoot twisting and turning as they get shot

[little lagoon]

So are tornadoes on the reworked kaleidoscope?

[arctic grove]

True. Im curious to see how mw2 plays out

[velvet sand]

wait, is there a new dev video floating about?

[lilac dust]

Would they even be talking about max amount of assets on a map if the game was exclusive to Next gen lmao

[next onyx]

Ohhh kyla that's something to keep on the lookout about.

[thick tusk]

Yes they are.

[velvet sand]

saw apparently a bunch of CM posts about more map reworks in S2 which is nice, at least

[next onyx]

Have you noticed the screams when they're shot too?

God I can't wait for 24/7 exposure.

[solid imp]

They added screams when they fall so makes sense 🙂

[next onyx]

That's sorta different.

[lilac dust]

Assuming you meant to insert kailedoscope

[next onyx]

Your character will audibly yell more when shot in first person.

[solid imp]

Yeah but they've had that for when you get burned up by incendiary since last patch

[next onyx]

I don't really care much for Kaleidoscope. I'll play it whatever but eh.

Yeah that too.

[rocky kraken]

Screams when falling while dead or while skydiving?

[lilac dust]

Oh you want 24/7 breakthrough back I see

[thick tusk]

I hope they're better than kaleidoscope rework. It's better but nowhere near as good as exposure/exodus maps. The entire layout of the maps is still pretty flat and has too much open to it. I stoll grt shot from 360 degrees way too often compared to the other maps

[quiet shell]

I've also noticed the characters swear a lot more. Staight up McKay said "Dropped that motherfucker!"

[solid imp]

dead.. even when you shoot a helicopter down you can hear the screaming as the bodies fall

[next onyx]

Hm.

I haven't actually sat down and played because I'm studying.

[rocky kraken]

Yeah I’ve heard that since other updates

[next onyx]

I've given the map a look and all that.

[rocky kraken]

Sundance has fallen next to me screaming lol

[next onyx]

Mackay sounds a bit more serious so.

[arctic grove]

They need to keep dont be sad quip.for angel

[next onyx]

But mostly the same.

[solid imp]

Last patch or one before they say a lot more to the character they're reviving as well, like "You're not done yet, Angel" etc

[arctic grove]

I really hope they didnt remove it

[next onyx]

Angel has the biggest improvement.

Yeah that's always been a thing kaos.

[rocky kraken]

Kaleidoscope would have been great if they actually worked on the other side of the map

[solid imp]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rocky kraken]

No ones gonna go to the skate park lol

[arctic grove]

Angel is 2042 meme gold

[velvet sand]

Haven't played, but the updates looked good at least. Lots more cover in general. It's about what I was expecting (and they were showing early), not a full rebuild of a map but just updating it so it feels "finished". Feels like it still took bloody forever and that the amount of time spent should have been more than enough for them to scrap the whole map and build a new one from scratch, but oh well. Improvement is improvement.

[lilac dust]

I dunno man. After playing 24/7 exposure for 2 months straight I'm pumped to jump into kailedoscope playlist on thursday

[next onyx]

If a Mackay revives Casper you can get the quote about wanting to hear about his stories.

This has been in since the beta.

[solid imp]

Dang now I want to hear this, I barely play as Mackay 😦

[arctic grove]

Yeah i dont understand why only 1 side was reworked lmao

[next onyx]

Angel also mentions Sundance's name in the revive.

[arctic grove]

Dice moment?

[rocky kraken]

Like I feel like the other side needed it more lol

[low timber]

Btw, has the pass point xp requirement changed? I remember it going up by 250xp every 10 points you get with xp, but now I’ve seen it going up by 500 for a few weeks.

[arctic grove]

Both sides really

[queen violet]

Played 15 games. Never see the new shit..lol. Oh. And every game. I start with a ak

[next onyx]

Not sure marse.

Hopefully I can get my 150 last tokens.

[dapper river]

I will be going to the SKATE.™️ park when SKATE.™️ releases this year for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC 😎

[arctic grove]

Isnt Skate going F2p?

[solid imp]

They could use it on revive, turn it into something like "Don't be sad, you're not dead yet" 🙂

[low timber]

150? What tier are you?

[rocky kraken]

Besides that the b sectors look amazing

[next onyx]

There was a skate park map on black ops 2.

[rocky kraken]

Compared to the rest of the map lol

[arctic grove]

Or thats the mobile version?

[next onyx]

Tier 100.

I'm still not done because I need that season 1 tier 1 badge.

[low timber]

There’s still 4 weeks of 49 points

[arctic grove]

BRO YES

[next onyx]

Whew.

Gonna have to hunker down then.

Hopefully I can get it.

[last swift]

Drive a tuk tuk in the skate park

[next onyx]

:|

[low timber]

I need 48 points by xp even if I get all the weeklies

[next onyx]

Yeah. Bit annoying.

[low timber]

For the T1 badge

[acoustic island]

I think the counter is partly broken though

At tier 84 at was at 798

[next onyx]

They fixed it.

Well.

Should of fixed it.

[low timber]

It’s not

[quiet shell]

If pass tier 73 you can ride the rest of the of the weekly challenges points to tier 100

[next onyx]

When I started a match it updated my token count to 1000.

I'm certain I had more tokens.

[low timber]

I have 906 points but the badge progression is at 898.

[rocky kraken]

Wait

[keen loom]

Grinding away

[next onyx]

Weird.

[rocky kraken]

What do you guy think of f2 now

I think it’s worse

[next onyx]

Eh.

[solid imp]

M5A3 is my spirit animal, love that thing 🙂

[keen loom]

[next onyx]

I realised how little I care for kaleidoscope.

[arctic grove]

YES only gun i used since the beta

[next onyx]

With how unbothered I was by that.

[rocky kraken]

I dislike seeing diverse things being replaced by ammo crates

[lilac dust]

Anyone having issue with their loadout not saving after every match?

[acoustic island]

Dice hates rooftop objectives a lot appearently

[keen loom]

It’s disabled

[next onyx]

Hates or love?

[rocky kraken]

Literally broke f2 lol

It’s an empty building now

[low timber]

#direct-communication

[next onyx]

Oh I messed up.

[lilac dust]

Oh thank god lol

[next onyx]

Whats that other map they're remaking. Forgot the name.

[velvet sand]

Renewal

[keen loom]

[next onyx]

I always get it confused.

[acoustic island]

I guess you can say they are RENEWING the map

[last swift]

[rocky kraken]

I think renewals changes will be more of an impact considering they are making the map smaller

[lilac dust]

Guess you could say the new map has been EXPOSED for how good it is

Ok I'll leave now

[next onyx]

Renewals updated layout looks like a tiny extension of 64p layout but it's not like it's inheritingly bad.

[keen loom]

[rocky kraken]

Kaleidoscope definitely could have been sized down

[thick tusk]

With thr amount of time they took to rework thus map and its not 100% changed in all areas that's really concerning to me. They made q good map exposure so I hope the new maps will keep being good but the reworks might just be 1/2 ass get them done because we need to ans not really make all changes needed to make them where they need to be.

[next onyx]

@acoustic island If it weren't for the rules of this land I would have removed you.

[solid imp]

Discarded would be too easy, eh? 😄 😄

[lilac dust]

Discard that trash

[sharp marten]

They’re making a new map for next season let’s goooooo

[rocky kraken]

I sure hope so

1 map sucks per season

Should be 2 and a rework

[velvet sand]

Probably will just be one per season for a while. Next season supposedly will have two map reworks, at least.

[thick tusk]

Should be at least 2 maps per season

[rocky kraken]

Yeah

[lilac dust]

At least people who take a year off the game can come back and enjoy 1 single BF4 dlc map pack's worth of new maps 🙂

[rocky kraken]

But don’t count rework as a new map

[thick tusk]

If they aren't really good the reworked maps will still be dead

[next onyx]

Things of note from the live stream.

[velvet sand]

They'll be bad, not dead. No way to avoid maps since we don't have a server browser : 3

[next onyx]

Hourglass is such a big thing to fix they don't want to even get close to that shit map.

[fiery zenith]

They just need to put a bullet in this games head and move on.

[rocky kraken]

Multiple reworks season 2???

[velvet sand]

wait...they deadass announced Portal guns coming to AOW before S1 and we're getting updates about them in S2?

[rocky kraken]

Well that’s unexpected

[next onyx]

Announced in season 1 yes with lots of testing.

[low timber]

Nothing to share today for portal maps 👀

[rocky kraken]

I mean they do have to skin every portal gun going to aow

[velvet sand]

And oh look, the same non-answer on server browsers they've been giving since the start of the year. They need to grow a spine and just tell us they won't do a server browser for AOW.

[rocky kraken]

With stats and charms etc

[velvet sand]

And nothing for specialist feedback loop either? Seriously, what the hell is going on.

[next onyx]

Fucked if I know fucked if I care.

[velvet sand]

Damnit, I'm trying to focus on the good bits that are coming with patches and be excited that S2 will have 2 map reworks (a pleasant surprise!) but it's so damned hard when other major parts of the game continue to be a mess like this.

Why announce Portal guns coming to AOW when they're 4+ months out and then say nothing for the next 2 months after announcing them? Announcing them in the video pre-S1 gave the implication they were coming in S1.

[next onyx]

If they can make portals server browser work connect with all out warfare and give them persistent lobbies that'd be great.

[acoustic island]

At a minimum I would group all recons into one class, medics into one class etc

[mental delta]

Why are you surprised ? They said we would get 1 map and new weapons every season

[velvet sand]

I get it, Portal guns need a lot of work to work in AOW. Hook up to the mod systems, add progression, lots of QA and testing but like...good lord it feels like they just baited the community with that tease.

thanks for the TLDR on the video though, was gonna listen through it this morning but I guess I can hold off until after work.

[mental delta]

Yes, I asked them several time about what they planned to do or when we would see it, only answer they gave me was "SoOn"

[rocky kraken]

i just want more guns

[next onyx]

I wonder what a tier 1 Aug will look like.

[rocky kraken]

and better maps

[whole lake]

Not a bait if it's coming and if one thing coming over can break other stuff then it just becomes coding nightmare lol

[next onyx]

Have you people played bf5 since the start?

[mental delta]

AUG ? This weapon isn't even in Portal, I don't think we'll see it in AOW tbh

[wide shore]

I love how they’re looking into Orbital and Manifest. Both of which are the least problematic maps in the game

[velvet sand]

It feels like bait when it's announced months and months in advance, with the implication it's coming in S1, then they clam up about it until the month before S1 ends just to let us know we'll hear more about it in S2...why even bother announcing before S1 in that case other than to hype folks up?

[rocky kraken]

i want double shotgun

[next onyx]

Yeah I was just thinking of it randomly.

[whole lake]

I played bfv and this one... Slow content on both front. Just been usually for the last 5 years

[rocky kraken]

I would rather have it take a long time then release like crap

[mental delta]

Yes they should focus on Discarded or Breakaway

[whole lake]

When I saw free dlc I knew we would start getting less maps but not this bad... Lol

[next onyx]

Funny I was just thinking of hardline and it's double chocolate shotgun.

[wide shore]

Hourglass needs it the most after renewal

[velvet sand]

No, Hourglass please. Those endless sand dunes and terrible sniper-alley.

[next onyx]

Bronze looks like chocolate, yes?

[rocky kraken]

agreed, manifest is not as bad

[mental delta]

Sorry I didn't understand lol

[next onyx]

They need to nuke hourglass 128.

[rocky kraken]

orbital i dont even think needs a rework

[next onyx]

Nah it's my fault crab. I worded it badly.

[rocky kraken]

maybe slightly but

[tame cobalt]

Sooo lots of the flags have bigger capture zones now. That's interesting.

[wide shore]

But they do need to adjust the 128 player layout for breakaway. The entire top half of the map should just get deleted

[rocky kraken]

not over hourglass

[next onyx]

Orbital isn't too bad.

[rocky kraken]

i actually like orbital

[tame cobalt]

Based

[mental delta]

Ho yes hourglass lmao I completely missed that, the map is just horrible and they should cut at least half the playable part of it to make it normal

[whole lake]

It's more so to let people know it's coming maybe if no issues arise.. obviously if they could they would but it probs has issues

[hallow sierra]

orbital is good it doenst need a rework

[rocky kraken]

small map changes can make it way better tho

[next onyx]

Maybe a tiny adjustment could be made but it's not like it's the worst no.

[acoustic island]

If hourglass was just the city part I would love that

[next onyx]

A and F could be closer yeah with more cover.

[tame cobalt]

Orbital is probably the best launch map for cq128

[rocky kraken]

100%

[next onyx]

But that should be just it.

[rocky kraken]

agreed

[proper pulsar]

i never get orbital

[wide shore]

Orbital is probably the second best map behind Manifest

[mental delta]

Even the objectives aren't placed correctly, they should be closer to each other

[velvet sand]

So hold the announcement until it's remotely ready. Feels like a pointless bait to hype up S1 only to deliver disappointment.

[whole lake]

I agree or a heavy rework

[rocky kraken]

this is my list

[proper pulsar]

i only got it alot at launch now i never get it

[low timber]

Yup, for now I could only say one bad thing to be the attack on the rocket assembly building on Breakthrough.

[solid imp]

Or if they moved the villages so it was more like a long consecutive string of one larger village instead of suburbs far away from city center. Pull the stadium area closer in, so the whole map is basically two flavors of urban: light/village and dense/city.

[wide shore]

I am excited to try the Kaleidoscope changes, as I already like Kaleidoscope

[mental delta]

It's ok lol, I struggle a bit here sometimes to understand things

[rocky kraken]

1: exposure
2: Orbital
3: Manifest
4:Breakaway
5:Discarded
6:Kaleidoscope
7:Renewal

[whole lake]

I feel you're hyping yourself up too much... Start taking notes of what patches for their previous games entail so you don't get so excited.

[tame cobalt]

Yeah those 2 are the best cq128 maps pre-season1

[wide shore]

I like exposure but I don’t think it’s better than Manifest/Orbital

[queen violet]

One bug into another bug 😂

[wide shore]

It can be frustrating to play sometimes.

[mental delta]

These are your favorite ones ?

[rocky kraken]

no in tier list

best to worst

[solid imp]

Oh how is discarded anywhere but 7th place lol

[mental delta]

Ho ok

[rocky kraken]

ok i was gonna put discarded 7th

[next onyx]

The only issue with these maps is just how far away the objectives are to each other.

[rocky kraken]

but I hate the last three equally tbh

am i missing a map

[next onyx]

Make them a bit closer and you've literally fixed one of the biggest issues.

[tame cobalt]

It's a waste to not use that new outpost sector in breakthrough.

[mental delta]

Is the Kaleidsocope rework good or it isn't that different ?

[rocky kraken]

they have to change that

[next onyx]

Next you add even more cover to the maps and you're set.

[rocky kraken]

theres no way they wont

it took to much time to not rework breakthroughs layout on kale

makes no sense

[next onyx]

By the way loadout bug concerns if you are worried.

[wide shore]

Mine would probably be

1. Manifest
2. Orbital
3. Kaleidoscope
4. Exposure
5. Hourglass
6. Discarded
7. Renewal
8. Breakaway

[tame cobalt]

It's pretty great tbh.

[rocky kraken]

really breakaway last??

I actually like breakaway

[next onyx]

Breakaway good God.

[wide shore]

I do not enjoy it

[rocky kraken]

dang

[next onyx]

It's only good on 64p breakthrough.

[rocky kraken]

i guess i like it because its in the snow

[next onyx]

And you know what.

There it's a decent map.

Snow is good.

[hallow sierra]

tbh breakaway is decent but the A1 is just ass

[acoustic island]

The maps are just big enough where adding objectives closer together would leave a ton of unused space, but add more would be weird and make games last forever

[next onyx]

Snow is just rare.

[rocky kraken]

needs snow storm tho

[wide shore]

If you just ignore everything above C in 128cq it’s ok

[mental delta]

Is the map still too large or ?

[rocky kraken]

every map should have an event

weather event

[solid imp]

Breakaway BT would be good if the C base wasn't literally a throwaway, like... capture in under 30 seconds type location. Then if the oil rig was possible for defenders to get back onto the rig, like more ziplines or able to blow out the bottom of it to expose a new way of getting in or something.

[proper pulsar]

how can u do breakaway like that

[rocky kraken]

like why would exposure come withno weather event when the games leading seller was the weather ???

[wide shore]

honestly Kaleidoscope never really felt too large. Just too empty. Which is a problem with most maps in this game.

[proper pulsar]

and renewal

[rocky kraken]

where is c again?

[acoustic island]

@wide shore which is weird because it has 13 total objectives

[mental delta]

Is it better now ?

[solid imp]

Oil drums -> Warehouse/More oil drums -> Shoreline -> Rig

[rocky kraken]

ah ok

[rocky kraken]

yes, not perfect but better

[wide shore]

I like renewal. But it’s too vast and empty on its current state. Only real action is at A-C-D

[still vault]

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1550186862

[proper pulsar]

true

[rocky kraken]

renewals large wall is weird to me

wish you can enter through it

[wide shore]

Haven’t played it yet. Having my daily panic attack before I go pickup my new glasses.

[rocky kraken]

kinda like discarded levolution but with the wall

[keen loom]

[mental delta]

I'll try it so

[wide shore]

Should be able to destroy it like the wall on BF4 caspian.

[rocky kraken]

100%

[wide shore]

It takes a lot. But you can break it down slowly.

[rocky kraken]

there isnt enough areas to get in the next sector

[mental delta]

Your daily panic attack wtf lol ?

[wide shore]

Would make the map 1000% better

[wide shore]

I am severely agoraphobic.

[hallow sierra]

since when ppl actually look at the map when paik's scanner is used

[rocky kraken]

never lol

[keen loom]

Idk but I main her a lot so it helps me

[mental delta]

You are afraid of rabbits ?

[hallow sierra]

me too

[acoustic island]

@hallow sierra whenever I get the location reveal tag

[next onyx]

Oh jeez poetic.

I hope you can get over this one soon.

[arctic grove]

Paik looks cuter in her glow up

[wide shore]

Me too. I need my new glasses. Lol

[keen loom]

Especially in crowded areas

[next onyx]

@mental delta It's basically anxiety induced panic attacks.

[arctic grove]

She doesnt look like she was stung by bees

[next onyx]

Go get burger perhaps?

[mental delta]

Ho ok I get it, but caused by what ?

[rocky kraken]

if they rework 2 a season we could have all the base maps reworked right

[next onyx]

Just general nerves.

[wide shore]

Nah I get really nauseous. Food no good for me

[next onyx]

Aww.

[outer anchor]

rao is the least played specialist?

hes one of the best lmao

[wide shore]

Agoraphobia is the fear of having panic attacks in places you’ve had panic attacks before. So in my case, basically everywhere

[outer anchor]

if not the best

[mental delta]

You don't like when there is a lot of people at the same place ?

[velvet sand]

He's too handsome for everyone to play.

[mental delta]

You've had panic attacks a lot of times ?

[arctic grove]

BRO thats Boris

[wide shore]

Hundreds of thousands probably

[velvet sand]

Boris isn't handsome, he's husky. WHICH IS ALSO GOOD, IT IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF BEAUTY

[wide shore]

I’m basically stoop kid from hey Arnold

[tame cobalt]

Kaleidoscope is the smallest map in the game bruh

[arctic grove]

Valid.point

[verbal jetty]

So I have to ask and I’ve been digging around hoping to find places to give feedback and figure out why on 2042 but can’t find it

[mental delta]

It was too large though

[velvet sand]

(But real, Rao feels weak unless the enemy team has lots of armor on the field)

[tame cobalt]

Doesn't make sense

[wide shore]

It was too vast. Not really large

[next onyx]

@wide shore

Look at our man.

[mental delta]

Ho ok, doesn't seem so good to me, hope you get better soon

[next onyx]

Hamdsome.

[wide shore]

Damn they made him look like a GQ model

[velvet sand]

The men of BF2042 clearly have lots of time to spend on self-care and grooming between battles. Self-care is important.

[next onyx]

I'd love to own angels tier 1 jacket. That is genuinely an amazing piece.

[acoustic island]

Boris looked way different in the screenshots than in game

[next onyx]

Oh yeah I should check the concept art for Angel.

[wide shore]

I’m excited to try the aim assist fixes

[arctic grove]

Angel looks like a romanian thug

[next onyx]

Apparently they should work a bit better now.

[wide shore]

Better tracking on moving targets

[velvet sand]

I'm just hopeful that matches will feel less awful with good pilots around. Still feel like the core of the design around aircraft is busted, but maybe the nerfs will help out vs. a god-tier stealth helicoptor pilot who never dies.

[ebon sand]

Anyone on ps5 na wanna team up

[steel valley]

It is running strange since updating. Now whenever I run the game anything video related on the 2nd screen becomes laggy & unwatchable

[velvet sand]

Matches are a lot more fun when one team isn't wiping the floor with the other with good pilots (even if you're on that team)

[verbal jetty]

Is there anywhere to submit feedback to dice? Or am I talking to a wall

[proper pulsar]

SITE

[verbal jetty]

It directs you to twitter and here

[next onyx]

When a dev comes here you can ask them your question.

But different devs do different things.

[wide shore]

They do have a feedback site no? Maybe the BF forums

[next onyx]

So on twitter when they make a post regarding the game that's your best chance to ask.

[proper pulsar]

ye forum

[next onyx]

God I'm hungry.

[low timber]

Way is the Sfar dev

[proper pulsar]

eat then

[wide shore]

[low timber]

I know that emote!

We’re in the same fallout server

[thick tusk]

Feedback: keep adding more original maps into thr game and keep exodus maps in rotation as they are better than the new original maps.

Hopefully when more new maps and reworked maps complete they will be decent enough. Exodus maps still feel way better right now imo sadly.

[wide shore]

I don’t think exodus conquest is going anywhere

[outer anchor]

this update is the last one until next season ugh

[acoustic island]

Yeah remember 64 player breakthrough is limited time only guys

[wide shore]

[hallow sierra]

well since the 50mm got nerf again i guess the 40mm launcher is decent depends on the pilot

[velvet sand]

;_____________________________________;

[next onyx]

If I could properly balance and keep it like it I'd be very happy.

Oh yeah limited time for 7 months.

[wide shore]

I still miss 128BT

[thick tusk]

It's funny imo even the exodus older maps visually look better than the new maps. The detail and foliage is just 100% better. Sadge

[acoustic island]

Fr the way Caspian border looks is the way every map shoulda looked
