battlefield-2042

[rocky kraken]

yea

[proper pulsar]

Do battlepass challenges get completed in portal mode

[acoustic island]

The base maps structures look very flat except exposure

[next onyx]

I think Valparaiso looks better than caspian but that's just me.

[velvet sand]

only in servers with full progression, I believe

[next onyx]

I dunno. Valparaiso is just more dense.

[proper pulsar]

is that the same as full xp?

[next onyx]

Caspian is nice but yes.

[dapper river]

if the server has "full xp" in the info then yeah

[proper pulsar]

ye

good

[thick tusk]

The exodus maps play and feel like BF the new maps besides exodus feel like a new foreign game I haven't put my finger on. Lol

[fierce gull]

Mackay new look looking good

[rocky kraken]

so are all the new voice lines in the game?

[thick tusk]

Funny to me that what's saved thr game for me is that I can play maps from older BF games

[fierce gull]

JTF helmet + mamba uniform looks fire

[dapper river]

The weekly missions design is great, doesn't feel tedious, most of them are just shit you're probably already doing, and the "kill X amount of players with Y type of gun" ones don't require very many kills at all. I think the absolute "hardest" mission so far has been "get 3 headshots in one life". Not too hard!

[thick tusk]

Agreed hasn't been too bad

[calm bison]

battlefield

[thick tusk]

Is there any metrics ans #s on how many players play on AOW Vs Exodus?

[sand violet]

Why is it rare to find some teamwork

[dapper river]

Not any that are public lol

[thick tusk]

💩

[balmy halo]

Hovering around 80 on medhigh 128

After update

Not much performance difference

Depressing

[sand violet]

ah rip

[tame cobalt]

Conquest 128 ranking

1. Exposure/Orbital/manifest
2. Kaleidoscope 1.0/renewal/discarded
3. Breakaway
   Too shit to rank: Hour-ass

[quiet shell]

I noticed mud and dirt now properly covers the player based on what they do.

[fierce gull]

All they gotta do now is fix hourglass

[tame cobalt]

Ay haven't seen u in a while

[thick tusk]

1. Exodus maps
   2.your list lol

[fierce gull]

sup
how you doing?

[wanton magnet]

Man hourglass would be great if they cut the desert between A and E.

[silk surge]

I've been spam F5ing Temproyals Twitter page waiting for him to have found something new in the 1.2 patch.

[wanton magnet]

Add more buildings we can scale with ropes or ascend through the stairs with flags in there

[fierce gull]

Hourglass with more buildings will look beautiful during the sandstorm

[quiet shell]

If DICE was willing to drastically overhaul Hourglass, I would like to see the entire stadium moved into the map. And the cities pulled in to fill up that open space of sand. So we could have more city combat

[steel valley]

That would be so good

[fierce gull]

Verdansk but sand

[velvet sand]

LORD YES, and add the stadium as an actual combat point in Breakthrough. It's a fantastic part of the map that you'd never know existed if you only played BT (honestly maps should have reversible layouts for BT)

[calm bison]

I'd say move the Stadium to somewhere between B and D

And add a small-scale city where A is

like 2-3 skyscrapers

and add a ferris wheel, like in the concept art

Also add extra tank and aircraft debris around the map

[silk surge]

I have a love hate relationship with Hourglass. From a gameplay perspective it can be insufferable at times... But holy shit does that sandstorm cloud sweeping the map look absolutely epic.

[calm bison]

this is implied that it's another battle

since the first battle was in hazard zone

so it would make sense to have destroyed tanks and planes scattered around the map

[acoustic island]

I would love if they made hourglass look exactly like the concept art

[calm bison]

in addition also have makeshift roads between objectives

as well as few FoBs

[arctic grove]

Not sure why they didnt

[calm bison]

Also make the sandstorm last for longer

[quiet shell]

And y'know since a lot of the map has been condensed and more city buildings, maybe open up a floor or two at like the halfway points of buildings

[fierce gull]

yes

[calm bison]

I think what could be cool is if one building collapsed into another building, knocking both down

[acoustic island]

Probably because of good old time

[fierce gull]

hourglass without the sandstorm looks shit

[silk surge]

When the lights go off, it's pretty damn close. I love the red lighting and the colorful scyscrapers.

[calm bison]

that's just me

[queen violet]

guns are resetting … every game. I get ak .. bug after bug

[calm bison]

Actually it's supposed to be like that

They have it this way while they solve PS5 issues

#direct-communication

[grizzled whale]

why did people expect better performance

[calm bison]

I mean every patch up until now has done at least a little to improve the performance of the game

i think everyone is waiting until 2042 is no longer GPU bound

which would be cool

[acoustic island]

It would also be cool if i could get a solid 60 on 1080p low

And I’m not gpu bound

[calm bison]

If you want the most solid setup for 2042 - buy a console

if you can find one

[quiet shell]

Every update has had some kind of performance improvement.

[arctic grove]

because of patch

[grizzled whale]

cpu bound

[acoustic island]

I meant that sorry

[grizzled whale]

nothing about performance was mentioned in the patch tho

[grizzled whale]

what cpu and gpu do you have

[dapper river]

it's CPU bound I think

[acoustic island]

4790k and a 1060

[calm bison]

yeah i checked. clown moment

[grizzled whale]

lol

3 gen old budget gpu and 8 year old budget cpu

[calm bison]

i'm not very PC literate

[grizzled whale]

dont expect much from ps3 tier specs

[quiet shell]

I need to upgrade my graphics card soon.

[acoustic island]

Ok

[tame cobalt]

He said he's too busy to look for s2 leaks

[calm bison]

So how do the new specialist reworks feel

they look better

[acoustic island]

Yeah

[dapper river]

ps3 players be like "but it could run BF3 tho"
30fps cap, with dips below that far too often, plus screen tearing out the ass, max 24 players

[grizzled whale]

well mackay got a beard now

so hes even more sexy now

[calm bison]

i havent been able to play since
A) in college
B) brother plays on xbox so i cant use remote play
C) got a math exam tomorrow

[quiet shell]

This isn't the rework. This is just the visual overhaul. The rework is in season 2

[calm bison]

technically it is a rework

[velvet sand]

feel? it's just visual updates, more beards, dirt, and wrinkles for everyone

[quiet shell]

They made Faulk 15 years younger

[calm bison]

i'll take more roughed up looking rather than that fucking Toy Story 1 Mackay

How does Mackay look with JTF Vet

[arctic grove]

She still Grama Falk

[velvet sand]

Did they? I thought they just added some dirt/wrinkles. Either way, my girl needs a beard to match the rest of those specialists and their groomed facial hair.

[calm bison]

grandma falck but instead of being 80 she's now 55

[arctic grove]

Buzz lightyear Sundance when?

[quiet shell]

Her hair isnt grey anymore tis now a nice brunette color

[arctic grove]

LMAO soo true

[dapper river]

Paik looks the same to me

[calm bison]

Yoooo they turned Mackay into Heisenberg

[arctic grove]

Also Falk doesnt work for the Empire anymore. She is now a Note Pad.

[vivid nacelle]

is he the danger now?

[dapper river]

No-Pants

[arctic grove]

No a MAGA truck driver

[grizzled whale]

angel no-pants 💦

[velvet sand]

Looks more salt'n'pepper to me, which is still fine. She spends some time between fighting getting her hair colored, she deserves to treat herself.

[arctic grove]

🌶️

[dapper river]

isn't he canadian

[arctic grove]

Yes

[calm bison]

nope he looks far more like walter white than any MAGA looking guy

[arctic grove]

Fair

[tame cobalt]

wat

[calm bison]

I'm coming after you

:walter-white:

[dapper river]

https://tenor.com/view/walterwhite-sus-gif-19626245

[calm bison]

remove the glasses and you have Mackay

[velvet sand]

What were the visual changes for Sundance/Paik even? Sundance's hair is less floofy and they have another nose piercing and Paik uh...looks a bit less like she was stung in the face by a bee?

[calm bison]

also still not regular

I feel like Doctor Who

[acoustic island]

I think Sundance has tattoos now also

[calm bison]

no matter how many times i reincarnate im still not ginger

[acoustic island]

Along her face and neck

Idk about paik

[calm bison]

Paik let her hair down

[velvet sand]

can't tell if that's a tatoo, dirt, or a shadow on the neck but not sure it matters either way since we're not often seeing specialists necks in much detail : |

[severe zenith]

Kaleidoscope is good now, that is all

[acoustic island]

Next generation of necks

[severe zenith]

But Exposure is still king

[grizzled whale]

the most active areas of kaleidoscope are barely changed

[calm bison]

kinda disappointed they didn't touch the skate park

it still seems so empty

[solid imp]

I stand by this comparison:

[calm bison]

oh fuck

[grizzled whale]

sexy ass mackay

[calm bison]

but that fountain walkway between E and F

THANK GOD

Oh my god i hated that part of the map

it was a gauntlet

see how long you can make it

really happy they gave those fountains some depth

[dapper river]

Mackay pre-1.2: "well well well, that was fun!"
Mackay post-1.2: "..."

[acoustic island]

It’s because he hasn’t had his 4 cups of coffee

[grizzled whale]

i will break your fucking kneecaps and piss on your dads grave

[stoic ferry]

imagine not beeing T1 and using T1 skin

[grizzled whale]

he now looks like he could slaughter a village without giving a single fuck now

[vivid nacelle]

redesigned map and people still dont know how to defend it in BT

[calm bison]

The T1 skin for Mackay is alright

i prefer the JTF skin

[fierce gull]

that's who he is now

[grizzled whale]

any mackay skin is amazing

[grizzled whale]

all the bitching about refunds broke him

[calm bison]

i really dig the Great Outdoors and JTF combo

great outdoors torso

[stoic ferry]

he is the only one I have with T1 that I dont use T1 skin with.

[calm bison]

JTF helmet

[solid imp]

Finally listening to this-- feeling good about my Rao usage now 🙂

[gloomy mason]

So.how is the last Gen update

[left hollow]

I haven't been able to play kaleidoscope all day

[stoic ferry]

Deathless skin

[fierce gull]

find some in portal or play solo

[dapper river]

so the featured modes for portal haven't changed since yesterday, right?

[calm bison]

no those change on thursday

[dapper river]

Good, can test the AA buffs in that superiority mode

[calm bison]

oh no

[arctic grove]

so much for this update bringing people back i guess, lower numbers than ever

[calm bison]

honestly tho

[grizzled whale]

not even close

its at 5k+

on steam

[calm bison]

2042 has 5k players rn

on steam

[arctic grove]

due to players not able to connect to online services

[grizzled whale]

lowest was <1k

[calm bison]

and that doesnt include origin, ps, and xbox

[fierce gull]

i didn't expect this update to release on August 2nd lol

[arctic grove]

whoa, a whole 5k

[acoustic island]

I mean we could go back to the 2k in April on steam

[calm bison]

on steam

learn to read

[solid imp]

oh this topic

[fierce gull]

better than halo infinite

[arctic grove]

I can read

[calm bison]

this is all that matters

[arctic grove]

I'm just passing some time in here while I wait on this lobby to fill up. Been a few minutes 😄

[acoustic island]

Also why are you coming here to be like that bro

[stoic ferry]

funny to hear numbers. as I ( Norway ) finds full or games with less then 5 AI at all hours

[grizzled whale]

halo infinite is considered a great game

finished

[calm bison]

God i fuckin hate 343 and what they did for halo infinite

[grizzled whale]

polished

[arctic grove]

Yes lol. 2042 majority of players comes from console lol

[dapper river]

it just released lawl, plus people have work and school

[acoustic island]

Ruining the vibe

[calm bison]

like the campaign is great

but jesus

[arctic grove]

SAME

[stoic ferry]

seems like the 10k players are all in eu then 😄

[arctic grove]

oh sweet, we have enough players to start. i mean there's 40 AI in the server but still

[calm bison]

the multiplayer is a complete travesty

[grand prism]

@grizzled whale what did i missed

[calm bison]

how on earth did 2042 win the FPS war in 2022

Vanguard is irrelevant

Halo is dying

[grizzled whale]

a whole lot of shots probably

[velvet sand]

Nobody won the FPS war last year. Everyone lost.

[grand prism]

Ah well then

[dapper river]

Yeah I hang around a few halo circles, the vibe isnt great, people are demoralized

[grizzled whale]

the people who had fun won

so i won

[solid imp]

We rolled up our sleeves and stuck with the game leeessgo

[calm bison]

Infinite needs the forge

[grand prism]

In Vorkuta we are all winners my friend

[dapper river]

what SIX MONTH SEASONS does to a mf

[calm bison]

fucking great

[acoustic island]

343 needs to realize that infinite exists

[grizzled whale]

you wont get banned unless you abuse glitches

[calm bison]

forge comes out in season 3 for infinite

now when will season 2 end

[grizzled whale]

STEP 1: SECURE THE KEYS!

[calm bison]

cuz im pretty sure its been running since April

[arctic grove]

343 needs to realize us gamers are not taking their bullshit

[grand prism]

WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP ANGEL SAY IT

[grizzled whale]

STEP 2: ASCEND FROM DARKNESS

[dapper river]

Me on the rooftop point of kaliedoscope before they changed the layout:

[grand prism]

STEP 3

[grizzled whale]

RAIN FIRE

[grand prism]

STEP 4

[grizzled whale]

UNLEASH THE HORDE

[grand prism]

STEP 5

[grizzled whale]

SKEWER THE WINGED BEAST

[calm bison]

so what do you guys think Season 2 will have besides the renewal rework

[grand prism]

STEP 6

[grizzled whale]

WIELD THE FIST OF IRON

[acoustic island]

Fun fact: the steps of vorkuta are the same name of the steps for the origins zombies Easter egg

[grand prism]

STEP 7

[arctic grove]

nothing lol

[grizzled whale]

RAISE HELL

[stoic ferry]

that was opertunity lost. Ppl where just fing bad at that time. We had the Hinds and condors at that time too.

[grand prism]

STEP 8

[velvet sand]

1 other map rework, 2 guns (hopefully no meme guns), 1 new map, some kinda gadget that won't get much use, and probably another helicopter that's hilariously unbalanced

[grizzled whale]

https://tenor.com/view/freedom-horse-shouts-gif-5757772

[solid imp]

I mean I guess it had to end lol nevermind lol

[grand prism]

FREEDOM

[dapper river]

A new AOW map, new season pass, uh

[calm bison]

i think AoW deserves 2 maps with season 2

[grizzled whale]

theres no reznov jumping gif on discord

[dapper river]

For you, Mason

[velvet sand]

new stealth helicopter in S2 will be literally invisible, you'll have to shoot the pilot/passengers out of the sky as they're floating about

[calm bison]

Drained and Lights Out

[grand prism]

NOT FOR ME

[calm bison]

Drained was a leaked map

seems like a dried up river

[grizzled whale]

reznov: fucking dies

[calm bison]

and lights out was another leaked map

[arctic grove]

Wonder Woman already has an invisible plane

[calm bison]

could be a prison

[acoustic island]

Petition for dawnbreaker v2 for season 2

[velvet sand]

OH SHIT, BATTLEFIELD 2042 X DC UNIVERSE CROSSOVER!

[grand prism]

REZNOV

[arctic grove]

YES

anyone know if the next BF is going to be a mainline game like V, 1, 4, etc.?

[calm bison]

Give kaleidoscope, orbital, and hourglass a night version

[velvet sand]

Mackay is clearly Batman.

[stoic ferry]

the last petition went sooooo good for crying men here 😄

[arctic grove]

i dont like these spinoff games as much

[violet meteor]

Rip Morbius

[arctic grove]

Sundance as Wonder woman. (she's inclusive)

[grizzled whale]

batman couldnt beat mackay in a straight fight

[fierce gull]

holy shit AI jets actually shoot people on the ground

[calm bison]

i have an idea for a levolution event for kaleidoscope

[violet meteor]

Dude played the update to death

[calm bison]

a blackout

[violet meteor]

Jake Gyllenhaal *

[calm bison]

Somewhere on the map is a power station

[grizzled whale]

shut the fuck up perinoid

[velvet sand]

No, Mackay is Batman. He's got a grappling hook on his utility belt.

[calm bison]

it can be destroyed

[arctic grove]

We need Ezra Miller as Flash

[violet meteor]

Who?

[grizzled whale]

nah

[dapper river]

https://tenor.com/view/the-batman-grapple-grappling-hook-grapple-gun-robert-pattinson-gif-25432374

[calm bison]

and when it is destroyed, all elevators, automatic doors, and bridges are stuck in place

[grizzled whale]

mackay is infinitely more powerful than batman

[arctic grove]

good news, after 15 minutes, the server is up to 54v54

[grizzled whale]

even with 100 years preptime

[violet meteor]

Batman is the specialist system itself

[calm bison]

idk man, batman took a whole shotgun to the chest and lived

[violet meteor]

He has all those gadgets

[calm bison]

can't do that in 2042

[grand prism]

@grizzled whale you have no idea how many times i played Vorkuta

[solid imp]

My friend, I have already been killed by the stealth bolte lol https://youtu.be/cHP4A7XxKjU

[arctic grove]

Battlefield moment

[velvet sand]

I imagine this is how most Mackay players feel when playing the game.

[grizzled whale]

mackay died 16000 times and came back every time

[violet meteor]

Jake Gyllenhaal*

[grizzled whale]

bro i played bo1 campaign at least 40 times on wii

[grizzled whale]

dude

[acoustic island]

Feel like his grappling hooks needs a little more range

[violet meteor]

I'm sure he is a cool dude

[arctic grove]

it really is a good thing this game is crossplay, console users don't have any of the good PC fps games so they're kinda stuck here

[violet meteor]

I'd have some poutine with him

[grand prism]

I played Vorkuta at least 150 times on veteran

[grizzled whale]

pfff veteran

noob

[violet meteor]

It'd be better if ps and Xbox could play together when crossplay is off

[grand prism]

Lol

That was back then

[grizzled whale]

i ACTUALLY went to vorkuta

[elder patrol]

RIP gvt

[gloomy mason]

2 minutes at 3/64 in lobby

[grizzled whale]

and played it on realistic

[calm bison]

looks like we get 1 new map for S2

[grizzled whale]

what did they do to it

[acoustic island]

Be better if 2042 had kbm support

[grizzled whale]

it does

on pc

[arctic grove]

nah

[elder patrol]

It feels different... no more one shot

[acoustic island]

On console I mean

[calm bison]

BUT WHY

WHY DICE

[grizzled whale]

bro

[calm bison]

WHY ONLY ONE MAP FOR S2

[violet meteor]

Definitely yes, that way pc players can't farm me XD

[calm bison]

YOU HAD ONE JOB

[grizzled whale]

it was never supposed to be a one shot

[elder patrol]

Upper chest is what I mean

[grizzled whale]

yes

[calm bison]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JJwAs0oFEM&t=309s

[grizzled whale]

was never supposed to be a 1 shot

[grizzled whale]

no information about s2 is out yet

[arctic grove]

PC definitely doesn't have the population to survive on its own. Not even close. 5k is super low. Unfortunately changing crossplay to work like that would be destroying the PC market, which doesn't make much sense since BF is a PC game

[violet meteor]

Dude rolls in here full caps and throwing YouTube links

[violet meteor]

Trust me, it's less on ps5

[gloomy mason]

It's less on ps4

[violet meteor]

I HAVE to have crossplay on even for portal

[elder patrol]

It's a fucking elephant gun

[arctic grove]

I believe it. Between the scarcity of PS5s and the growing understanding that consoles are inferior money sinks, it doesn't surprise me

[grizzled whale]

only needs 128 players to fill up a lobby

[calm bison]

literally click the youtube link i sent

[grizzled whale]

untill it drops below that, its enough to survive

[grizzled whale]

which is a kaleidoscope comparison video

[calm bison]

actually dont click that link

[forest snow]

console aim assist seems a bit to snappy

[calm bison]

i meant this

[dapper river]

if it had a server browser then it wouldn't matter if there were 5000 players online or 500, you could theoretically always find a place that's always popping off, depending on the time of day of course.

[calm bison]

https://t.co/GrYv0DPpop

[violet meteor]

I like consoles, I get to spend more time playing games than going on Discord asking why this or that doesn't work

[calm bison]

This video

They discuss S2 a little

[grand prism]

Caspian Border let's goooo

[calm bison]

idk i cant hear the video since im in class

but according to comments its 1 new map for S2

[grizzled whale]

ah yes im gonna watch a 43 minute video for one line

[elder patrol]

Mate pay attention to class

[calm bison]

no

[grand prism]

I love playing Exodus Conquest

[calm bison]

its philosophy

[elder patrol]

Fuck

[acoustic island]

Get off that gizmo gadget and work

[grizzled whale]

someone call the dude on discord

get him kicked out of class

[elder patrol]

Lmao

[velvet sand]

It's weird that they leave the dev videos like this unlisted on their channel.

[calm bison]

my laptop is on mute

and so is my phone

[grizzled whale]

someone dox him and call his school

dont actually do that

please

[arctic grove]

i'm glad they're still doing hazard zone updates. never seemed right to me to get rid of a mode just because the average W key spammer didn't understand more high-stakes and competitive gameplay

[grizzled whale]

was a joke

dont

[next onyx]

O.o

[grizzled whale]

you didnt see that way

[calm bison]

half-life scientist scream

[gloomy mason]

why no one plays exposure

[next onyx]

Give exodus a look.

[calm bison]

been playing a lot of World of Tanks PC

Honestly

tier v is pain

[fiery shoal]

who says pc only has 5k players?

[next onyx]

It also might be night time where you are and people do be sleeping still.

[calm bison]

constantly being uptiered

[velvet sand]

It's weird they're still dedicating resources to it after announcing they were functionally abandoning it. Wish Breakthrough 128p got the HZ treatment of still existing : |

[next onyx]

Steam most likely.

[gloomy mason]

gonna try exodus

[arctic grove]

Indeed. This is the only place I've seen people pretend that Origin has a playerbase size bigger than the hundreds lol

[grizzled whale]

origin is literally where most people play BF games

[gloomy mason]

omg i am in

[echo yew]

please buff the everloving fuck out of the stinger

[arctic grove]

I mean Steam is garbage but there's no point lying about Origin lol

[grizzled whale]

no dont

[echo yew]

and stealth helo is still not nerfed

[grizzled whale]

nobody is

[velvet sand]

Historically yes, because that was the only place to play BF games when EA removed them from Steam. Now that it's back on Steam it's very likely shifted back to Steam as the majority of where folks play.

[fiery shoal]

i mean... considering that origin was the only place to get bf games for decades, and also considering bf games launch through origin no matter the platform you got it on...

[grizzled whale]

most people want to keep their games in one place, so they have all battlefiend games on their origin

[fiery shoal]

most people that know bf games still launch through origin will also buy it through origin too....

you know, to keep resources lower

[arctic grove]

Definitely lol

[fiery shoal]

id honestly guess that origin has close to steam numbers, and wouldnt be surprised if it had more players

[grizzled whale]

it 100% has more players than steam

[calm bison]

society

[fiery shoal]

i dont believe in tom henderson, but he did say steam is only 20% of the player count

[arctic grove]

Origin crossplay must be broken, otherwise we'd have all these mysterious massive playercounts stopping us from having to wait 5 minutes for each match to start.

[solid imp]

We have 14 in our 2042 crew and only 2 or 3 of them have it through steam. I've always taken the steam count and multiplied by 4 to get origin.

[grizzled whale]

i think 4 is a bit much

but 2 wouldnt be out of the question

no, no they dont

[solid imp]

We're a PC only group, so it's only going to be origin or steam for us

[grizzled whale]

they got banned for cheating and are pretending they got banned for bots

[fiery shoal]

i know my bf clan has mostly purchased it through origin as well

[grizzled whale]

i grinded a shitload on the kaleidoscope rooftop

no ban

nobody has gotten banned for AI farming unless they were hacking or glitching

[solid imp]

yeah I just haven't seen so much steam 2042 activity for all that we use those numbers as somehow definitive

[grizzled whale]

or had some sus ass shit running in the background

[fiery shoal]

yea of course we cant make any claims, just observations

[grizzled whale]

no you havent

they dont state a ban reason

so you dont know why they were banned

[solid imp]

They didn't ban for AI farming, they changed the XP you can get from it so I really doubt that was a big banning event at any point.

[fiery shoal]

friend seems to like to talk out of his ass

[grizzled whale]

i havent seen max complain about bot xp for a while

[lavish adder]

wonder if the performance is gonna be improved

runs like shit

[fiery shoal]

strong doubt

[grand prism]

@grizzled whale did they added enviromental destructions

[grizzled whale]

he didnt get banned for AI farming

[grand prism]

In this update

[fiery shoal]

i think for massive 128 player warfare that no other game is doing to this degree, performance is pretty decent

not much to compare it to at least

[grizzled whale]

and he can be locked out of his account if he charged back

[lavish adder]

even rush frame rate suck ass lol

[grizzled whale]

GG ez

[chilly jacinth]

get a better pc

[grizzled whale]

did some sus shit and risks losing his account cuz he cant deal with the consequenses

[chilly jacinth]

problem solved

[fiery shoal]

dude likely got banned justifiably, charging back is absolutely petty

[keen loom]

I think I’m addicted to using Paik I have a problem

[lavish adder]

my pc is capable of running bf5 at ultra at 80fps

[chilly jacinth]

ok

[grizzled whale]

he wasnt wrongly banned

[lavish adder]

game just coded by a bunch of chimps

[chilly jacinth]

my pc can run minesweeper at 9k fps

[grizzled whale]

its called theft

[fiery shoal]

this sounds like a made up scenario for "lul 2042 bad" meme takes

[violet meteor]

Day 1 of the update yall already fighting

Go play the game

[keen loom]

Update is good

[fiery shoal]

yea? how many games do what 2042 does?

[chilly jacinth]

it doesnt translate over to bf2042 though

[grizzled whale]

you paid for a game, accepted the TOS, got banned, and then scammed the reseller by charging back

[grand prism]

So i just witnessed the giant tower get destroyed on caspian border

[lavish adder]

no game

[keen loom]

I keep getting Noshar Canals

[grizzled whale]

they dont need to prove it to you

he did sus shit, got caught, got banned

he knows what he did

[fiery shoal]

so... you dont think that since there are no other games like 2042 that doesnt mean its hard to develop for in the first place?

[grizzled whale]

end of story

he most likely broke TOS so they are fully in their right to revoke access

[lavish adder]

they had a perfect foundation. bf4

hell they couldve done bf2142

[fiery shoal]

are you talking performance or gameplay design?

[lavish adder]

i wouldve been happy

[lavish adder]

both

everything about 2042 sucks

[fiery shoal]

ok well we WERE only talking about performance so i dont get the point in bringing up other topics...

[solid imp]

[grizzled whale]

except the gunplay, gameplay, mechanics, maps vehicles

[keen loom]

[hardy crow]

So the 50mm on transports got nerfed again?
Felt like the first nerf was enough

[lavish adder]

if you like it thats fine

[solid imp]

Nyphon going to-to-toe is always what gets me through my afternoon on days I have to go into the office

[fiery shoal]

i wish i could not...

bunch of meme kid with low tier takes

[edgy oriole]

Your good

[keen loom]

[fiery shoal]

ill never understand people that work in absolutes

[lavish adder]

only people defending the devs now are the salty shitters who bought the ultimate edition

[keen loom]

Call me a Paik main now

[solid imp]

I'm looking at that "never" in the statement lol

[lavish adder]

i want a real battlefield

[fiery shoal]

lol i thought the same

[lavish adder]

closest thing to that at the moment is either bf4 or bf1

[tame cobalt]

Bro they said they are looking at improving orbital and manifest next they tryna turn the good maps into goated maps?

[hallow sierra]

orbital is fine

[lavish adder]

hourglass needs the biggest rework

[edgy oriole]

Paik with 12m drum op

[fiery shoal]

i mean, the main aspect of a bf game is large scale combined arms warfare in a sanbox setting... 2042 definitely has that

[tame cobalt]

They said that will take a long time because it's a huge task to fix it

[lavish adder]

bare minimum yes

[fiery shoal]

how do you even make manifest better?

[solid imp]

One of my favorite tiers to do was Paik whilst BT 128 was still in the game... Kaleidoscope, A1 flag. Just do your thing haha.

[lavish adder]

did they say that on the stream?

haven't watched it

[tame cobalt]

Get more action on the non-hill sectors somehow?

[keen loom]

Especially with her buff now too

[edgy oriole]

The atrocious spawns. All I can think of. And bringing back first A point

[fiery shoal]

ah i only think of conquest, i dont play BT

[hallow sierra]

we love paik mains

[tame cobalt]

Yeah, said Hourglass will take time and orbital and manifest will probably come after renewal

[hallow sierra]

wait

[lavish adder]

well that sucks

[hallow sierra]

aint sundance have the most skins so far

[keen loom]

After Paik I think I’ll go use Boris

[tame cobalt]

Even better versions of orbital and manifest is kinda hyyyyyype tho

[hallow sierra]

orbital is fine tbh idk whats there to be fix

[lavish adder]

orbital is my favourite map

[tame cobalt]

Imagine even better version of it HOLY SHIT

[lavish adder]

interested to see what they are planning

[edgy oriole]

Manifest is fine imo. Discarded just needs optimization heavily and bring back original A and B sector, but cut away the empty field you have to spend 40 seconds running on.

[keen loom]

Should they change breakaway though

[acoustic island]

Make it so not every time the fucking rocket blows up only when I’m on the point

[keen loom]

Big ahh map

[hallow sierra]

A1 sucks on breakaway

[tame cobalt]

Delete it and hourglass

[edgy oriole]

Og breakaway they should get rid of B sector all together and that's all I had against breakaway

[keen loom]

Man but I like hour glass at night though

[tame cobalt]

In what mode

[edgy oriole]

BT. I only play bt

[lavish adder]

breakaway ugh

[tame cobalt]

Hourglass night/duststorm should happen more often tbh

[keen loom]

Yeah it’s amazing

[hallow sierra]

d1 and d2

[keen loom]

We need more night cycle maps

[hallow sierra]

are good in breakaway

[hallow sierra]

manifest on day cycle

[keen loom]

I tried getting like a cinematic screenshot of it

[tame cobalt]

Hourglass duststorm should be more frequent than sunny day imo

[keen loom]

That’ll be cool to see

[tacit sphinx]

it would be nice if the dust storm happened without the tornado

think its always both

[keen loom]

Pretty sure it did

[hallow sierra]

i think i saw it happen

[edgy oriole]

I think the red dust storm should be the permanent light setting for hourglass

[keen loom]

Sand

[edgy oriole]

Sad

[quiet shell]

Finished the dev video. 1 new map for season 2?

What the actual fuck

[keen loom]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-stormtrooper-sand-playing-in-sand-beach-gif-17569243

[quiet shell]

I could forgive 1 map for season 1 since they spent all their time fixing the game.

But this is legitimately unacceptable

[hardy crow]

So Irish is bugged worse than before
I have the outline of the sentinel but it puts down 2 shields and I can't pick them up

[glad mulch]

Wow… conquest, crossplay off and I’m the only player in a server.

[balmy halo]

The game is ditched

Skeleton crew

It's over

I hate to say it

But I think they jumped ship already

[keen loom]

Skeleton crew

[velvet sand]

Well, we know that despite the "all in on 2042" there are devs working on other projects. Which would be fine if the messaging from DICE's GM was that "we're all focused on 2042" : |

[tame cobalt]

I hope the orbital changes will bring the A, C, and F flags closer to the others. That's the main problem with orbital imo, those sectors are too far from the action

[fiery shoal]

exactly how long do they need to have everyone working on 2042 after that announcement?

[velvet sand]

I mean the interviews were like a month and a half ago when S1 launched? So hardly as if those are "ancient".

[fiery shoal]

the point still stands

[next onyx]

I completely forgot that they said something in regards to season 2 about more content but then I realised how little I care for the game.

[fiery shoal]

i feel like things changing after a month and a half isnt really something worth complaining about

[tame cobalt]

Bruh moment

[fiery shoal]

its not like everyone on the team is there for post launch development.. some people are hired literally for new titles...

[next onyx]

Yeah making maps takes time but jeez.

[velvet sand]

I dunno, maybe until 2042 actually feels like it has "the full studio" working on it, because it hasn't felt like that since the first 3 weeks post launch when they were pushing out meaty, weekly patches with bugfixes and improvements.

[fiery shoal]

so we work on consumer feelings as a form of measurement.. gotcha

[hardy forge]

Anyone trying to squad up on 2042 ?

[velvet sand]

Because we have other measurements to base it off of? >.>

[gloomy mason]

this game plays way different than the rest

[mental delta]

Is it normal there's not a Kaleidoscope rotation in gamemodes ?

[upper socket]

Havent gotten kaleidoscope yet

[fiery shoal]

movement and gunplay fairly similar to bfv, but bfv changed a lot from the previous bf titles

[amber star]

Why can’t I host a portal experience? It’s greyed out and has a red exclamation mark but doesn’t say why

[velvet sand]

maybe ask in #portal and folks can help

[gloomy mason]

the way we look around run and such.. are weird

atleast on last gen

[fiery shoal]

ah no idea about consoles

[arctic grove]

The 64 version layout was well done

[hearty flame]

Damn man. 1 new map for s2 is sad

[fiery shoal]

isnt that what was stated though?

[hearty flame]

I dont think dice ever stated whats in a season beyond a specialist really

one of those vague promises you cant call them out on kinda thing

[fiery shoal]

im pretty sure ive seen it stated multiple times that its 1 specialist and 1 map per season

[velvet sand]

"Year 1 Pass (Available Now): 4 New Specialists (1 per Season), 4 Battle Passes (1 per Season), and 3 Epic Skin Bundles (”Blistered Earth”, ”Tempest”, and ”Cold Blood”)" from the Gold Edition store page

Nothing about maps specifically in there, and I don't believe they've been explicit anywhere else.

[hearty flame]

lol thats worse. not even guaranteed maps lol

[velvet sand]

Honestly 1 new map in S2 is expected, but still underwhelming. I was holding out hope that S1 was them "getting back in the saddle" after spending like 6 months bugfixing and finishing design work that wasn't done and they'd start blowing us away by "overdelivering" and turning the marketing machine back on to bring folks back in S2. Now that hope is pushed to S3 but the hope dwindles each time it's pushed to another season. (I was hoping this would happen in S1)

[fiery shoal]

i could have sworn there was a tweet saying there would be 1 map a season but im not gonna look for it

[hearty flame]

the only tweet ive seen on season content was from tom like a month before launch i think. nothing else from any other source

[velvet sand]

IIRC they've been vague/noncommittal on maps-per-season in general.

[hearty flame]

they had roadmaps for V but had to cut chunks outta that before

[south wyvern]

i still liked V

I'd like 2042 if they bothered to track my damn progress

[velvet sand]

good news, there's a stats page now after today's update

[hearty flame]

V is fine. it had its issues and bad start but its fine now. its live service was pretty bad but it staggered to where it is

[fiery shoal]

when the frick will stat tracker update for bsv

[hearty flame]

why wouldnt it track the bsv?

or do you mean a stat update?

[velvet sand]

https://twitter.com/DRUNKKZ3/status/1554514428770586631 eyyyy, maybe this is the source of the weird TTK/TTD disparities folks keep encountering. I know some are even lower like Apex, but 60Hz+ seems to be more common nowadays.

[fiery shoal]

idk, its not there and i want it to be

[solid imp]

It sadly doesn't have any of the season 1 content, so the rank progress also doesn't match actual rank, probably because of time spent as Lis

[hearty flame]

thatd be....weird for a stat tracker

[velvet sand]

wait what? stat tracking page doesn't track anything that was added in S1?

or am I misreading

[solid imp]

Battlefieldtracker

[velvet sand]

oh, third party site

[arctic grove]

2042

[fiery zenith]

45hz is already laughable, can't even fathom playing on 20hz w/ old gen

[velvet sand]

I have to hope/assume it's another concession that was required for 128p/pointlessly large maps. As much as I loved 128p BT, it sure seems like moving to 128p was a massive mistake for them on the design front.

[hearty flame]

Id be happy with less impressive graphics if it let dice do more with the game. something like MAGs bigger maps but with destruction would be really cool

[velvet sand]

oh well, I'm excited to try the updated Kaleidoscope and hope matches aren't still just "Helicopter infantry farming simulator 2022" anymore (yes, I'm salty) with the nerfs later today

[arctic grove]

MAG is an old gen gamd that looks as good as 2042 or better

[robust aspen]

It's not really a big deal but does anyone know why 2042 looks worse graphically than let's say bf1? It might be me but that's how I see it

[arctic grove]

They say its due to the 128 player count

its strains the CPU

[hearty flame]

haha thats a bit far i think

[velvet sand]

Depends, since scene for scene comparisons are hard. But I'd argue, largely, extensive resources dedicated to larger maps/player sizes means less bandwidth for a lot of other things that lean on the CPU like more complex geometry on the ground (i.e. clutter). Shouldn't impact texture quality much though, I believe (I'm not tech expert, just a guy that likes following tech stuff he doesn't fully understand)

[robust aspen]

Even imo 128 players isn't even worth it :/

[arctic grove]

lmao i know

[fiery shoal]

mag didnt even look good when it came out

[charred stag]

Yo were any changes made with breakthrough?

[velvet sand]

Websearch shows 0 results for "breakthrough" on the patch notes, so probably not.

[arctic grove]

I was Trolling Nyphon

[fiery shoal]

i figured, i just know theres smoothbrains that would just accept that statement

[little lagoon]

2042 doesn't even look bad. It's the lack of atmosphere in almost every map that really screws things up visually

[arctic grove]

Very true

[upper socket]

Gvt is too satisfying just gotta get some standard issue rounds and i can rack up some more kills

[queen violet]

Been on the game for 10 hours. Still not been on the remake 😂

[hard lagoon]

anyone know if they fixed the glitch where you couldnt ads after exiting a vehicle until you die

[upper socket]

Which is better for the gvt: standard or highpower rounds?

[fiery shoal]

i think it loses the insane detail that bfv has, which also makes sense considering the player count and map size

but on that note, i wish they didnt do 128 players and kept that level of detail

[hidden sand]

Character meshes look super wonky in 2042.

Very plastic-y.

The way lighting is rendered in gen looks a bit odd in comparison to BFV and 1.

[gloomy mason]

lmao tanks flying all over the place

[acoustic island]

Anyone else have disappearing things on renewal?

[velvet sand]

lol, I'm listening to the video and it's amusing hearing DICE use the wrong pronouns* for Sundance.

[hidden sand]

Have you seen them say there'll only be one map in season two?

[hearty flame]

man they really have abandoned portal maps havent they

[velvet sand]

Not yet, barely 10 minutes into the video. Only thing notable they've discussed is how map reworks take so much time because (as predicted), the maxed out map complexity for launch maps so they're having to find areas to cut assets to give them leeway to add cover etc.

[solid imp]

Does sym.gg have any way of exploring weapon stats from before current game version?

[low timber]

Is there only 4 weapons with the Masterkey under barrel?
M5A3
AK-24
LCMG
SWS-10

[magic harness]

Wtf

[velvet sand]

and discussing how they set themselves up for huge challenges with the specialists like sundance being impossible to balance across game modes (NOBODY COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS!)

[still vault]

The old class system was also not balanced across gamemodes

[velvet sand]

I wouldn't argue it was, but it was far, far, far less complex and less difficult to balance vs. having a dozen specialists that have wildly different passive/active abilities.

[hearty flame]

well its only a problem for dice management to notice and dice devs to fix lol

[still vault]

Not really. Since you don't have to combine all the special specialist stuff with class specific guns etc

[tame cobalt]

Make a bf with 1 game mode only

Would be the best damn bf ever

Cuz what they lack is focus in design

[mental delta]

I know you are trolling but please no

[velvet sand]

Sure, but now you have super powerful specialist abilities + no weapon limitations which further opens up gameplay opportunities (WHICH IS A GOOD THING) but comes with increased complexity in balancing.

[fiery shoal]

id argue its way harder to balance locked loadouts than open... i mean open really just means 95% of gadgets are interchangeable, no concern of interactions

[tame cobalt]

I'm not

[hearty flame]

bf with only grander operations

[mental delta]

Ok it's craziness so

[tame cobalt]

It would absolutely be better. Because it would have design focus.

[mental delta]

It would be boring af

[tame cobalt]

No it wouldn't

[last swift]

[mental delta]

AOW should just have Conquest, Rreakthrough, Rush, TDM and some kind of Assault Conquest with amphibious maps, it would be perfect

[velvet sand]

But that means you're now having to adjust a gadget while keeping in mind how it plays with every specialists toolkit + all weapons vs. a limited selection of weapons. Again, I LIKE the open weapon/gadget system, but that alone adds a lot of complexity to the traditional BF format without even having to consider the extra complexity specialists bring. The devs call out Sundance as a particularly challenging specialist to balance and it makes perfect sense with her insane mobility and grenades.

[tame cobalt]

If your problem is variety, that would be solved by having variety in map design

[mental delta]

I hope the next game will have some Grand Operations mode, with modern settings it would make the bext game really good

[tame cobalt]

Aka having your caspian border and your amiens and op locker

[fiery shoal]

concerning yourself with a single gadget vs an entire kit though...

[mental delta]

No variety of gamemodes has always been a thing for FPS games, I find it normal to get multiple gamemodes

[tame cobalt]

🇫

[velvet sand]

The kit is defined, it has hard limits. This system is not defined, it's super open which adds a lot more considerations with every change.

[fiery shoal]

specialists do inherently bring more concerns with balancing, but not when they go open loadouts as well

[mental delta]

?

[tame cobalt]

Bad company 2 was a rush game

[mental delta]

I never played it and I don't want to if it's only rush focused

[tame cobalt]

🇱

Bf needs focused design one way or another

That's how you get bangers like iwo jima breakthrough

[velvet sand]

Sure, let's look at Sundance. They can use any weapon they want, so it's not just balancing their mobility and grenades around the expectation that - as assault - they'll largely only have access to CQC weapons. Instead, now you're having to balance their mobility around that expectation, but ALSO that they'll be able to reach a lot of sniper positions that otherwise wouldn't be accessible to the recon specialists, or that Sundance would have access to but would be unattractive to use due to having little/no access to long range weapons.

[mental delta]

I don't play a FPs game to only play the same gamemode that's just normal and you are probably the only one I see saying he wants only one gamemode

[fiery shoal]

yea but its easier to change an individual cog (sundance) to balance vs considering a whole kit

[velvet sand]

(Note: I am making more of an effort to get Sundance's pronouns* (I can't spell) right than DICE : P)

[hidden sand]

Damn, what a shame that there'll only be one map in season 2 as well.

[mental delta]

And why not being able to play it in conquest ?

[tame cobalt]

It kinda sucks in conquest lol

[mental delta]

The success of Grand Operations on BFV is based on the fact the gamemode changes after each match, however you are still playing in the same party for at least 3 matches

[tame cobalt]

"the success of grand operations" lol

[hidden sand]

I'm guessing support has been significantly lowered for this game knowing that now.

Which is a rip.

[velvet sand]

Again, it's not. Because you're balancing their mobility against a far greater range of weapons/gadgets. Traditional BF wouldn't give Sundance the SOFLAM, but now you can have a Sundance gliding to higher elevation locations where folks aren't usually going to look spotting the whole enemy team.

[mental delta]

Yes it's kinda disappointing, I hope we'll get more weapons than in season 2 though

[velvet sand]

I'll be fine with 2 weapons as long as one isn't a sidearm or meme weapon like the crossbow : |

[fiery shoal]

i dont see how it isnt.. other people can access the same weapons.. its not like sundance perk is that she only has access to other weapons...

if the problem is sundance getting to places other specialists cant then you change that aspect...

[tame cobalt]

I'm honestly fine with having every season like season 1... The real pain will be when support ends after s1 and we'll have nothing for a year while waiting for the next rushed release

[mental delta]

I would prefer at least 4 weapons, everybody here told me the small amount of weapons in season 1 was due to the fact they were focused on fixing the game, I hope they weren't wrong and that season 2 will get more of them

[fiery shoal]

which theres not a lot of places sundance can get to that other specs cant, shes just faster about it really

[mental delta]

?

[tame cobalt]

[bronze steeple]

50-13 ;=- bsv

[velvet sand]

I'm hoping/assuming 2 new weapons, and a few of the Portal weapons finally make it over to AOW finally.

[mental delta]

I am just asking for an explanation and you laugh, shows how mature and brainy you are

[violet meteor]

[tame cobalt]

Fart

[mental delta]

I saw a leak about 4 weapons and the Portal ones in addition, I hope it's true

[fiery shoal]

is that a hat in time character?

[hearty flame]

gotta say thats kinda sad for all hands on deck

[violet meteor]

Tiny tina

[mental delta]

Sorry I don't understand (I struggle a bit with English )

[fiery shoal]

ah, looks like a hat in time character

[violet meteor]

Fluent in crab tho

[hearty flame]

sorry i meant that that amount of content is sad with dice saying that everyone is working on 2042

[fiery zenith]

it would look better if they went with the skeleton crew narrative

[tame cobalt]

All hands (of the live service team, which dice doesn't really have yet) on deck

[mental delta]

Ha yes I agree, the game should have a lot more content and Dice/EA pretending there are still a lot of devs on the game sounds a bit like a lie to me but whatever lol

[inner roost]

Legit if we get 4 weapons and atleast 10+ portal weapons, we'll have way more variety rather than k30 spam

[mental delta]

Crab people, tastes like crab, talk like people

[velvet sand]

yo, if we get more than a few Portal weapons that'll be a huge win

[inner roost]

Straight up, my biggest issue w game rn is weapon variety

[mental delta]

Exactly and it would be a way less boring, weapons variety would make the game a way more enjoyable

[tame cobalt]

Like bf4 where we had 100 times more weapons but still just saw AEK spam?

[hearty flame]

really does feel like the bare minimum doesnt it

[velvet sand]

the community meta is always gonna meta

[fiery shoal]

when 99% of players will end up using the same 5 weapons no matter how many weapons are in game... looks at every game in the history of ever...

[hearty flame]

theres always gonna be a meta community but not everyone is gonna use whats meta

[inner roost]

Still, idk how y'all can say it would be bad to have more weapons

[fiery shoal]

the only reason i want more weapons is so that they could hopefully do locked loadouts

[tame cobalt]

[mental delta]

Yes I don't really think the game would lack content so much if the team working on it was a full team, I guess they are putting a lot of efforts on the next game rn and I hope they are doing well with it

[inner roost]

Any mixup is welcome, we've been playing with the same weapons since launch, we need way more

[last swift]

<-- anti meta weapon player

[fiery shoal]

its like having voip, yea lets have it, but at the same time its rather trivial

[mental delta]

Ha a man of good tastes as I can see

[hearty flame]

theyre gonna have to do some amazing bs to get people to forget 2042 anytime soon lol

[fiery shoal]

i mean.. its been a factor in bf games since forever

[inner roost]

It's not trivial to have more weapons in a shooter come on we have like 2 handguns, imagine if they add the BF3 launchers so we can use something other than the M5

[tame cobalt]

ngl the amount of weapons in bf4 and even BFV currently is overwhelming and I can't think of a good way to choose one of them other than picking the meta gun

[mental delta]

I know I also want it back in the next BF game but with such an amount of content they can't do it in BF2042

[mental delta]

Lol I think the same, I don't think they want people to remember this game, once the next game releases they will bury this one very deep so nobody can talk about it anymore

[hearty flame]

Vs medic had some decent flexibility with their guns though. you got smgs for close range and carbines for mid range with suppressed or nade launchy flavors

[tame cobalt]

most of the bf4 weapons don't even add variety, they just add clutter in choosing what to use

[hearty flame]

if theres one thing everyone forgets its that the internet never forgets

[mental delta]

I was asking for that for a while now, I am really tired of using the same rocket launcher since the game released

[tame cobalt]

2042's medic has more flexibility

[inner roost]

The M5 sucks ass, slow reload time

SMAW is in portal, just need it in the main game

[solid imp]

I wear my tier 1 M5 with great pride for this reason lol

[hexed mango]

honestly i’m fine with 1 map in season 2 if it is a really good map and we also get more of other content + reworks

[inner roost]

Mad respect for that

[hearty flame]

sure but im talking about Vmedics ability to be flexibile and not run meta necesarrily

[mental delta]

Yes unless the next game is a real banger and everybody enjoys it, this one isn't going to be forgotten soon because of how bad it is received by community

[mental delta]

According to leaks it could be more infantry focused but I still wait to see

[hexed mango]

we will see

[tame cobalt]

Yeah. 1 new map and 1 rework per season is fine to keep us fed till the next game. My problem is it won't last till the next game's release. There will be a drought

[inner roost]

About time we get a infantry map

[hearty flame]

i can imagine the initial reveal is gonna be drowned out with 2042 reminders

[mental delta]

Lmao 2042 flashback memes everywhere yeah

[solid imp]

I love and hate being teased this way ... would be amazing to have an infantry map

[foggy halo]

exposure is very inf focused

[mental delta]

It will not be infantry only I think but especially focused on it though, it can be really good

[tame cobalt]

And the 2042 reminders will be drowned by 2042 believers sharing the truth of the 2021 goty 🙏

[velvet sand]

I thought the next BF being announced is when we realize that 2042 is actually a hidden gem and a fantastic game? : P

[mental delta]

Like a sect

[tame cobalt]

Prediction: s2 map won't be as good as exposure

[hearty flame]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-wait-youre-serious-let-me-laugh-frowning-robot-gif-14586647

[mental delta]

It will be better

[velvet sand]

Supposedly it's more infantry focused so...that's very excellent.

[hexed mango]

yeah i’m worried about that as well

[tame cobalt]

Source?

[gloomy mason]

why are my attachments getting reseted every match

[last swift]

Prediction: next specialist will be a support specialist

[tame cobalt]

Skill issue ngl

[solid imp]

You're not wrong, B/C/D is mostly infantry but it's also a very very linear section of the map and to get around that requires fending off vehicles

[velvet sand]

ut seen folks talking about that. I'm still slowly going through the dev video so it may be mentioned in there.

[arctic grove]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/wehb4f/ai_can_now_fly_air_vehicles/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb @hexed mango

Exposure is an insta classic. I highly doubt any map they drop will be better.

[arctic grove]

Battlefield V moment

[hexed mango]

lmao

[velvet sand]

Yo I hope so, there's 3 specialists for every other "class" and I'm curious what kinda kit another medic would get.

[foggy halo]

I’m not fine with less than 4 good maps per season

[tame cobalt]

Nah player numbers will go up over the next year

[hexed mango]

ok

[gloomy mason]

oh

[hexed mango]

I’m not fine with you

[velvet sand]

Could very well be, but I'll find out...eventually when I can dedicate time to watching the rest of the video, heh.

[foggy halo]

😡

[tame cobalt]

Loadout changes aren't saving rn, temporary

[arctic grove]

Bro its a live service. Relax! each new season we will get a rework map. Think of this like Apex where they make map changes with every new season.

[jovial wagon]

With each new title being worse than it's predecessor, it's easy for that trend to continue.

[mental delta]

Yes that's... for sure

[gloomy mason]

hmmm

[tame cobalt]

They gonna ruin manifest and orbital like they ruin apex maps?

[hearty flame]

now theres some sweet sweet copium

Update:

You'll continue to experience an adjustment in save states for your Loadout between rounds.

Your Loadouts are currently locked to their pre-Update 1.2 settings, and adjustments made mid-round will continue to reset to their previous state in the next round.

CHOOSE OPTIMISM

[mental delta]

The good DLC times lol

[hexed mango]

tbh tho, content is lacking… in the video they said that they’re trying to focus on content, ur it is kinda sad we won’t get too much more rn

[foggy halo]

I hope that you are not serious

for this series

[still vault]

I'm sorry. You will not be fine I fear.

[hexed mango]

I am never fine

[arctic grove]

Kek Serious tho... Hourglass and breakaway are the worst maps. not sure how orbital and manifest were priority. Those maps are ok for now.

[gloomy mason]

thank you people

[tame cobalt]

well they are focusing on quality of content over quantity

[mental delta]

Season 2 will get more I hope, 4 new weapons and Portal weapons would be really good

[tame cobalt]

Because hourglass and breakaway are the hardest to improve

[arctic grove]

Just for this game yes im serious

[edgy oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/ok-boomer-ok-boomer-bernie-bernie-sanders-gif-16819013

[hexed mango]

i’ll take quality over quantity
but maybe provide a tiny bit of balance to quell those whom do not like the lack of content

[velvet sand]

Seriously. Manifest has always been in a fairly decent place while Hourglass is a damned disaster of a map : |

[hexed mango]

literally me

[mental delta]

Carbonic make new maps for us please

[tame cobalt]

They don't have the technology for that yet

[hexed mango]

👽

[outer anchor]

dozer is still trash, but slightly less

[arctic grove]

Soooo by that logic they A) dont wanna put in time and effort Or B) They dont have enough manpower to help with the rework (AKA Skeleton crew)

[still vault]

I would love to. If you get DICE to send me the editor and teach me how to use it I will make sooo much map.

[outer anchor]

quality over quantity

[arctic grove]

we just really want bf1942-V maps tbh

[jovial wagon]

Optimism left the building after the 3rd flop in a row.

[velvet sand]

COMMUNITY. MADE. MAPS. APPROVED. BY. DICE. FOR. PUBLIC. PLAY! Seriously, imagine if DICE gave players tools to make maps and would actively review/curate them for rotation in AOW.

[mental delta]

I will ask them to get you this map editor, then I expect you to give us 2042 Metro

[hearty flame]

dunno man seems like dice is pulling all map teams from portal to aow

[outer anchor]

we lack weapons

[arctic grove]

Then they wont make money

[jovial wagon]

You mean like Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2? We had tons of tools but they've all been stripped away and now the features are going with it.

[velvet sand]

Sure 95% of the maps would be utter trash, 3% would be alright, 1% would be pretty good...but that final 1% would be amazing.

[solid imp]

Not sure I'm following that logic..

[arctic grove]

i dunno man. 8 months into reworked maps seems kinda slow

[velvet sand]

"We're adding a new feature, the Community Battle Pass! This grants you access to our rotating pool of community-made maps." solved the problem, homeslice

[still vault]

I've already played all the old maps. I want new maps, so no, not everybody.

[arctic grove]

Easy cash grab and solution

[hearty flame]

it is but i cant imagine that the portal map teams are working on portal maps if we havent seen anything mapwise for portal and aow map releases/reworks are this slow

[arctic grove]

Valid reason

[velvet sand]

That's what I'm here for. Shitposting brilliant gameplay and monetization ideas.

[arctic grove]

And i thought i was the clown

[arctic grove]

Yeah tho i have to admit. Thats just standard procedure with live service models

[acoustic island]

They got rid of the huge bits of lighting on manifest 😦

[velvet sand]

Real though, I'm a huge proponent of community-created content (knowing most is garbage) as a tool to greatly expand content in online games. It just requires work from the developer to review and curate said community content.

[still vault]

Sure. The remains of a flooded futuristic train station, sounds fun if you want boat action 😄

[hearty flame]

why make any sort of content when we can make tons of money selling expensive skins

[arctic grove]

maybe one day Portal will be something similar to the MCC setting with classic maps added

[solid imp]

I would be fine with the map editor being limited to editing existing maps just to the extent of adding/removing/moving assets (staying below their maximum asset count they mentioned in the vid) even if we couldn't adjust terrain, sky box, etc.

[arctic grove]

Cod and Fortnite do it easy why cant we!?

[hexed mango]

oh wait they mentioned an editor in the video?

[solid imp]

no no no sorry not what I meant

[rocky kraken]

because we dont want to be like codd and fortnite

[hexed mango]

o

[solid imp]

although.. they DID mention one in their player survey some months ago so... idk

[hexed mango]

hmmmmmm

[still vault]

tbh. at this point I would totally fine with DICE just reusing old assets and make a few variations of existing map themes

[hearty flame]

everyone wants that cod/fornite money without putting in that cod/fortnite money

[hexed mango]

i wonder if they’ll do another core feedback

[mental delta]

Best idea ever, amphibious and infantry focused combats in a flooded area underground in London Metro, just like in the Exodus trailer

[arctic grove]

YUP HALO 🤡 They doin the same thing

[hearty flame]

I mean we're months late for the other feedback loop

[hexed mango]

exactly

[arctic grove]

Halo be wanting that cod money without the work

[hexed mango]

lol

[rocky kraken]

has halo gotten anything ?

[arctic grove]

nope

[hexed mango]

it has joe

[rocky kraken]

bruh

[velvet sand]

I'll continue to argue for "reversable" breakthrough layouts. Imagine Hourglass starting in the city and ending in the stadium, that'd be so rad.

[arctic grove]

barely an open beta for Co-op

[rocky kraken]

so its in a worse state than bf2042 or no

[hexed mango]

yes

[arctic grove]

Alot worse yes

[hearty flame]

dice could try squad map-layering if they made more pois on the maps, but theyd prob need to be bigger

[still vault]

I asked a dev in real life for that for BFV for Operations 🙂

[arctic grove]

Gotta say and admit. I really like the new Kali map. Feels more like Battlefield

[velvet sand]

And they said yes, right?

[little lagoon]

They already have 😏

The church in BotB is the same one from V

[still vault]

The dude I talked to said it sounded interesting. That's about it, it was at EA Play.

[arctic grove]

Lol

Oh no

Anywayss

LMAO

Basically thats what he told Carbonic

[still vault]

The BFV operations would probably play like ass in reverse to be fair, and all the fortifications would need to be reversed.

[velvet sand]

Hey, that's better than a "no"!

[arctic grove]

True

and at least he spoke up

[dapper river]

lol what year?

I went in 2017 and 2018. couldn't go 2019 because I was at disneyland, but I was able to attend E3 proper that year a few days later.

Would have gone 2020, 2021, 2022...

[zealous needle]

god i wish they’d stop changing the tv scope

its like every update they move it back

or make the reticle bigger

[little lagoon]

E3 is only remembered for cringe or Twilight Princess reveal

[still vault]

2018 I think it was

[white geyser]

Alright I check the rework of the map and played it, it’s pretty good has a lot of cover too

[gloomy mason]

i just did a 10 man chain kill on the new map at b1, jesus that was goood

[outer anchor]

DOZER's shield doesnt seem to hit properly in stairs

[sharp marten]

So when I try to play portal it says invalid game state

Anyone know how to fix?

[white geyser]

Right now the power is out at my place and my house, I can’t continue playing 2042 until the power comes back

[topaz field]

Anyone else having audio issues with 3D headphones? Footsteps and shots are muffled??

[warped pulsar]

How's the update?

[still vault]

shiny

[noble scaffold]

brrrrrrt

[drowsy shuttle]

more or less.. kaleidoscope looks good... i can finally enjoy a match while defending.. played 2 games as defender, lost 1 (but was close) and won the other (kinda easily) but its way more balanced now...

but hit reg is fucked... i unloaded half a magazine on an enemy like 20/25 meters away from me... crosshair on top of him... not even 1 shot registered...

but sometimes im tapping enemies with 1 bullet

so its very inconsistent

[arctic grove]

Update is a big improvement and step forward. For map at least

[drowsy shuttle]

kaleidoscope looks really good... after played 2 games on it, then went to manifest, and damn.. what a diference..

but the update brought some visual bugs... like words or numbers misplaced but i can live with that, they probably will fix it next update

but apparently sundance grenades icons are still messed up...

also i think they buffed the aim assist a bit too much..

[gloomy mason]

i got kaleidoscope in 1st match lets go

[drowsy shuttle]

but need to play more to know for sure

bsv is still very strong... i think needs a bit more nerf... or then its the hit reg or something.. cause im getting dropped almost like if it wasn't nerfed...

hope they release an hotfix for whatever the issue is that, made them to disable the loadout saves, asap... cause its really annoying...

but i guess thats my fault, cause i broke my rule "never play on patch day" lol

[sterile crystal]

hows the new patch fellas?

[still vault]

shiny

[sterile crystal]

did anything break yet or is is smooth sailing?

[hexed mango]

see yes thats what im saying

[lilac dust]

Holy fuck just started using the K30 for the first time since the game came out and WOW it is strong AF

[hexed mango]

still?

guess the nerf didnt do anything

[lilac dust]

They nerfed it recently? Lmao

Feels great

[stable pecan]

i man its a vector

its gonna be OP

[hexed mango]

yeah they nerfed the damage at close range

K30

Reduced K30 ammo type damage for Subsonic, Standard Issue and High-Power rounds
Subsonic, 0-10m - 22 dmg > 18 dmg
Subsonic, 30-40m - 18 dmg > 15 dmg
Standard Issue, 0-10m - 22 dmg > 18 dmg
High-Power, 0-10m - 22 dmg > 18 dmg

[thin violet]

Really have to destroy a gun to make 1200 rpm bad

So it likely never will be

[lilac dust]

Very jelly. My squad been trying for the past few matches

[violet meteor]

Found a ps5 24/7 kaleidoscope server with full exp on

And populated too!

[hexed mango]

yeah i was gonna say there's portal servers

[lilac dust]

No crossplay? 👀

[violet meteor]

Yup

[hexed mango]

when i got on at like 2am earlier there were like 4 servers that were full for only kale

[copper fulcrum]

When people discover a Vector will always be good at CQC in any game it's in unless it's unrealistic
https://tenor.com/view/doug-walker-nostalgia-critic-screaming-meme-gif-15223814

[lilac dust]

Sheeesh. Can you DM me the server

[gloomy mason]

damn

[violet meteor]

It was a couple hours ago I'm not on

[gloomy mason]

TORNADO

[lilac dust]

Shit might be dead now lol

[violet meteor]

Wouldn't be surprised if it was still up tho

[hexed mango]

anyways the TV 2x is unusable for me now

shit looks terrible now

so im just gonna use K8

[copper fulcrum]

Maybe get better eyes?

[low timber]

What’s wrong with the TV 2x?

[warped pulsar]

The ADS bug is still around sadly, but I can atleast fix is easily

[gloomy mason]

couldnt we call a vehicle at beta?

[lilac dust]

If you could then it was really glitchy (same as launch) to the point where I don't even remember being able to call them in during beta

[hexed mango]

its large

[silk surge]

Using shield feels a lot smoother now.

[dapper river]

how about you CQ-see these hands

[hexed mango]

very hot

[lilac dust]

Good time for me to be working on dozer tier 1 😏

[velvet sand]

Oh good, I just started playing around with it recently and holy heck the attacks felt janky as hell in terms of if they'd connect or not.

[dapper river]

but does that show off this?

[velvet sand]

Was a ton of funy bullying infantry, though.

[dapper river]

idk what this means lel

[hexed mango]

here's a comparison between old and new TV

[velvet sand]

I imagine that previously, if you started your attack animation and the enemy moved out of your crosshair before it finished, you missed. Now it will still count that as a hit?

[hexed mango]

they clearly just moved it closer to your face on the rail

[silk surge]

Yes, the shield turns automatically towards the enemy when bashing it at melee range.

[hexed mango]

but something about that just... is offsetting. .

[lilac dust]

Lmaooo I thought it just looked that way on the crossbow when I equipped that. Didn't know it got downgraded

[dapper river]

good because recently I started playing dozer for lulz, was frustrating having to bash 3-4 times for an attack to hit, even on an enemy that's completely unaware of me

[hexed mango]

yeah... it looks weird...

[noble scaffold]

found out i have a 4% accuracy

[low timber]

I need to check out the Masterkey as I forgot to check it out on Tuesday.

[dapper river]

I miss when dozer's shield took enemy tags.

Shit I miss when the knifing animations actually showed you taking tags. Warcrimes!
