battlefield-2042

[lone wren]

Well don't forget the proper 2042 era guns that may come

[somber widget]

The new map teaser

[hexed mango]

looks sick

[uncut bay]

holy shit they made paik hot as fuck ??

[analog fractal]

Imagine if they actually shipped the game with classes from the start....

[tame cobalt]

Macdaddy 😳

[uncut bay]

no way they listened

[left hollow]

i wonder what theyre gonna be

[storm jolt]

"perhaps even three rows" 😂

[hexed mango]

i just hope that we get a cool medic player that isnt angel or falck

[slate meadow]

she looks the same to me

[vocal adder]

Classes coming back ????

[uncut bay]

you ain't been looking then

[wide shore]

I’m personally not fond of classes unless they plan on introducing a LOT of weapons in season 2.

[tame cobalt]

🤨

[left hollow]

season 3 yes

[cosmic trout]

At the end of the tunnel yeah

[silk surge]

I want the class system to come back, I just hope we get to keep the unrestricted weapons.

[molten ferry]

They are actually improving, all that's left is to unnerf the transport helicopters so we can combat the new stuff again

[analog fractal]

Angel >>>>

[arctic grove]

oh god the rule, THE RULE IS AWAKENING.

[uncut bay]

nerf them harder

[hexed mango]

[ripe hedge]

why?

[arctic grove]

So my gun choices are just limited now, bc thats what the community wanted?

[stiff pollen]

They gonna reintroduce classes and there only be like 5 guns per class

[hexed mango]

lack of weapons with a restriction = annoying gameplay

[still vault]

They specifically/literally mentioned the 2 vault weapons + THE NEW WEAPONS 😄

[snow sandal]

Just watched the recent video. This makes me want to get the game sometime in the future. I'm going to at least wait until Season 3, and see how it actually all rolls out.

But bravo to DICE. This video has a lot of transparency and makes the community feel heard. Yes, the game should've never released in the state it did. But it seems a redemption is on its way

[chilly jacinth]

you can still pick whatever gun you want

[analog fractal]

Ah dear, didn't think about that...

[molten ferry]

A good team is what makes them good, use the Indian hacker guy and rockets and you won't get curb stomped

[slate meadow]

@ripe hedge please can you get them to fix buff borris turret its utterly pointless

[cosmic trout]

Yeah the classes will heavily lower the amount of content

[lone wren]

I just want the javelin in AOW

[analog fractal]

2042 have way too few guns

[fossil trench]

So what? It’s bad that it launched that way but it’s being fixed and the game is being supported. We’re also finally getting classes lmao. Don’t jump into the hate circlejerk. These are good changes.

[cosmic trout]

Unless they allow on weapon type on multiple classes

[uncut bay]

easy to say, they need to be nerfed

[wide shore]

I don’t feel like there’s enough weapons in the current pool to justify classes. Like, as it stand now, when the M60 gets added. Support will only have 3 guns.

[arctic grove]

i think you mean wayy too less guns that are VALID

[analog fractal]

That too

[celest oar]

gun choice is now limited to class now? I never buy in BF2042 If I know It just gonna become like any previous BF title, weapon lock

[grave prism]

guarantee you, nobody will use the tunnel with tanks now

[cosmic trout]

I think support won’t just be LMGs

[arctic grove]

M5A3 the PKB and the K30 or PBX thats it

[slate meadow]

excuse me the hate circlejerk is a free fun time with a happy ending always 😏

[ebon pilot]

Didn't they just say it was gadget restrictions for classes?

[tame cobalt]

but they only said throwable and open gadgets will be split between classes

[cosmic trout]

It’s still a way faster route so they most likely will

[ripe hedge]

i see, thanks for the feedback

[sour meadow]

"i'm gonna go on social media and tell people that i won't be playing a video game"

[snow sandal]

With the new class system? Really? That's pretty dumb.

But I already know the reason. Lack of weapons. If they had to split up the weapons, classes would make it even more of a problem

[arctic grove]

and the auto-shotgun

[analog fractal]

Wait, support will only be able to use LMG??

[low timber]

So, to unlock the M16A3 you need to do two assignments:

30 kills with underbarrel grenade launchers
And
100 kills/assists with M16A3 or SFAR-M GL

[cosmic trout]

It just won’t be a fast travel tunnel you will actually have to fight

[vocal adder]

G36C please please please add it

[hexed mango]

@ripe hedge due to the limited amount of guns, i think guns should stay open to usage with any class/specialist

[lone wren]

Why are y'all forgetting about soonish that we will have a trailer for new guns and gadgets for AOW other than portal guns coming into AOW

[dapper river]

gasp Alex! It's been a while!

when are u gonna let us detach the SFAR grenade launcher?

[hexed mango]

so i dont have to be forced to use a sniper with rao

[fossil trench]

Pretty much. Also “I haven’t played since launch. Bad game.”

[ebon fern]

Imagine they would have announced less cosmetic crap and more maps, more vehicles with better physics (more skill intended physics), more weapons and less bullcrap with skins and grind heavy content

[grave prism]

god i am actually excited for this game. what a time.

[left hollow]

bro that looks so clean

[wide shore]

I dunno man. I hope that’s the case.

[pine roost]

'existing open gadgets and throwables to fit their class role' - no mention of weapon locking

[tame cobalt]

Orbital 2.0 and Stranded 🥵🥵🥵

[chilly jacinth]

Orbital looks amazing

[low timber]

Sfar grenade launcher looks the best, so never

[cosmic trout]

I felt rao is more aggressive rather than a recon

[ebon pilot]

Good

[onyx zephyr]

1 year 2 maps and one fully new weapon. I wish i didn't pre order this shit.

[uncut bay]

renewal and orbital changes in one season? pog?

[still vault]

I actually just like the weapons being for all tbh.

[hexed mango]

same

[molten ferry]

New map

[hexed mango]

thats what im saying

[tame cobalt]

Orbital just went from one of the best 2042 maps to one of the best battlefield maps

[silk surge]

I'm a bit disappointed that they said absolutely nothing about new PORTAL content. Why are they neglecting that mode?

[toxic wigeon]

Idk

[hexed mango]

itll probably come with the s2 trailer

[ripe hedge]

Not hopeful about it because it requires substantial work, but hey who knows

[hexed mango]

this isnt the s2 trailer

[toxic wigeon]

Maybe they will show more with s2

[molten ferry]

And they was the only good counter to a stealth helicopter

[tame cobalt]

cuz ripple effect doesn't wanna work on battlefield anymore

[toxic wigeon]

Plus 20th anniversary

[storm jolt]

most people play main mode not portal; i imagine they are working on making the base game good first

[scenic tartan]

I don't mind having weapon selection be open. Restricting gadgets will help the team balance them a lot. Because there won't be the possibility of 20 stingers or 20 recoilless on a team

[onyx zephyr]

theyre even drip feeding us content thats already in the game 😭

[dapper river]

[low timber]

Shame the screen with the M16A3 doesn’t show attachments on it, would’ve liked to see them

[left hollow]

if they made it so you can create a custom map per say with pre existing stuff would be awesome

[uncut bay]

crazy ain't it, stealth helicopters also need nerf

[hexed mango]

fr

[arctic grove]

Can someone pls further explain what guns i would have access to if i play mainly paik and irish.

[low timber]

Like does it get the cool looking BC2/BF3 launcher or the bland 2042 launcher

[grand prism]

They did said that we are getting portal weapons to all out warfare like the M16 and M60 from bf3

[storm jolt]

all

[analog fractal]

As it stands, they should just have gadgets be locked for classes and have guns be open for all classes

[scenic tartan]

I really like the idea of assignments to unlock vaulted weapons

[lucid goblet]

lots more info here https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-briefing-development-update-august-2022

[cosmic trout]

Supposedly they aren’t locking weapons

[fossil trench]

I don’t really think it needs it tbh. I like having a gun that always has a grenade launcher

[molten ferry]

The one problem I face daily with transport helicopters is shit pilots who have no upgrades

[tame cobalt]

They were supposed to be making their own game but got pulled into 2042 cuz 2042 needed help to make it a full $60/$70 product @silk surge

[hexed mango]

they didnt show the selection, but paik is recon so supposedly marksman rifles

[toxic wigeon]

Hutt contracts lol from battlefront 1

[scenic tartan]

Well assignments have been around since bf3

[grand prism]

Why is 2042 getting so much hate

[arctic grove]

ikr i love the game

[somber widget]

I’m looking forward to the assignments attached to unlocking the vaulted weapons.

[scenic tartan]

People are bored

[somber widget]

Hopefully they are worth while

[fossil trench]

Because hate circlejerk

[molten ferry]

Because it plays more like battlefront than a battlefield

[hexed mango]

Weapons: Weapons will remain unrestricted, as we continue to find that players prefer to have the freedom to choose the loadouts that best suit their playstyle. Naturally the Class Traits we introduce will encourage the familiar style of gameplay known to best suit certain approaches to combat, that will see Recon roles enjoy more success with more long range weaponry, and Support have more effectiveness with heavier weaponry.

[lone wren]

I don't mind working on getting the M16 and M60

[tame cobalt]

nothing suggests this

[silk surge]

Not that important tbh. SCAR-L will basically be SFAR but without the GL.

[hexed mango]

weapons wont be restricted

[arctic grove]

beautiful, thank you

[ebon pilot]

We have also reworked the main menu to make it easier to see what’s happening across the game, without needing to go into the different areas of All-Out Warfare, Hazard Zone, and Battlefield Portal.

yeeaaahhh baby that's what we've been waiting for

[grand prism]

Look at call of duty vanguard that's a game that people should hate

[low timber]

Oh, the road map says

More in Portal

[grand prism]

Coming from me

[frosty mural]

Class Equipment (Always available)

Assault - Med Pen
Support - Defibrillator
Engineer - Repair Tool
Recon - Insertion Beacon

Class Gadgets (You can choose 1)

Assault - Smoke Grenade Launcher, C5 Explosives, IBA Armor Plate
Support - Ammo Crate, Smoke Grenade Launcher, Medical Crate, M18 Claymore
Engineer - Anti-Tank Mine, Recoilless M5, FXM-33 AA Missile, FGM-148 Javelin, EOD Bot
Recon - T-UGS, Prox Sensor, SOFLAM, C5 Explosives, Tracer Dart Gun

Throwables (You can choose 1)

Assault - Frag, Smoke, Incendiary
Support - Frag, Smoke, EMP, Incendiary
Engineer - Frag, Smoke, EMP, Incendiary
Recon - Frag, Smoke, EMP, Incendiary

[hexed dew]

new class system looks promising

[hexed mango]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/community/battlefield-core-feedback-specialists

[silk surge]

That's a good change. The current main menu looks a bit generic and simplistic.

[frosty mural]

stop beating me to it

[mossy badge]

Nope

[tame cobalt]

let's go babyyy

[grand prism]

Now that's a beautiful thing to look at @hexed dew

[woeful python]

BRUH what is with all the cargo containers it's rediculous when 60% of all the maps are cargo containers thats why it doesn't feel like great destruction because you can't destroy the containers. All I want is a town map with destructable buildings! Like it might be a good map but enough with these cargo ships! lol

[solar tinsel]

And throwables/gadgets will be class specific, right?

[toxic wigeon]

I think next specialist is support

[pine roost]

good find

[lone wren]

https://tenor.com/view/cr1tikal-penguinz0-meme-woo-yeah-baby-gif-19316511

[hexed mango]

They’re being added to the Base Game for Battlefield 2042 as a part of Update 2.0, and not on the free tiers of Season 2’s Battle Pass. You’ll be unlocking these via Assignments, a new system that we’ve developed which will grow as we bring more of Battlefield Portals arsenal into the 2042 armory, and these assignments will remain open and accessible for all players to unlock, no matter when they jump in to play.

BOOM i predicted it perfectly

[silk surge]

I don't know how to feel about Assaults having med-pen at all times. That sounds a bit OP.

[tame cobalt]

i need more info on these class traits, is it an additional trait to the trait tied to the specialist? 🤨

[hexed mango]

maybe

[solar obsidian]

first picture could be called cs_Assault_2

[hexed mango]

as well as assigning new Class Traits to the Specialists that help them to better support their role on the Battlefield.

yes

[tame cobalt]

Fiiiiiiiiiire

[wide shore]

Also

[frosty mural]

M18 Claymore -? It's being added and EOD bot?

[tame cobalt]

Stranded and Orbital 2.0, HOLY SHIT 🔥

[hexed mango]

M16A3

30 Kills and Assists with Underbarrel Grenade Launchers
100 Kills and Assists with M16A3 or SFAR-M GL

M60E4

100 Kills and Assists with the M60E4 or PKP-BP
100 Teammates Resupplied with Ammo

[cosmic trout]

I think it’s the same it always been stuff that relates to there class so support can revive quicker

[hexed mango]

if you're wondering how to unlock the guns

[vernal saffron]

The new map looks like Discarded 2.0... 👀

[somber widget]

I’m just glad engineer classes will be more of a thing. No more running into 40 people with rockets and also using sundance or mckay

[silk surge]

So they've been working on Orbital this whole time without telling us?

[somber widget]

Lol

[woeful python]

well yeah that would make sense

[arctic grove]

Do you think the class system will help with team synergy?

[hexed mango]

ye

[arctic grove]

how

[somber widget]

Yes for sure

[hexed mango]

too bad we have to wait till update 3.2

[arctic grove]

NAH LMFAO

[pine roost]

so we will be getting 4 primaries and 1 sidearm

[woeful python]

yeah BRUH what is with all the cargo containers it's rediculous when 60% of all the maps are cargo containers thats why it doesn't feel like great destruction because you can't destroy the containers. All I want is a town map with destructable buildings! Like it might be a good map but enough with these cargo ships! lol

[hexed mango]

says who

[silk surge]

Yeah, that's the only class that only has 2 specialists atm. Makes sense to even it out.

[grand prism]

Dude i'm saying this now 2042 is getting alot more better hell is better than vanguard

[frosty mural]

@ripe hedge how would it work if Lis is a engineer and shoots rockets and can get a rocket ? Or will be limited to the mines and other items that are not launchable?

[wide shore]

Won’t affect me much I’ll still be maining Lis. Just won’t be able to pair her with a ammo box.

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah

[arctic grove]

I mean vanguard is a mid game though

[cosmic trout]

Hourglass???

[silk surge]

2042 has always been better than Vanguard, but that's a very low bar.

[vernal saffron]

The devs of 2042 have a real hard on for containers on maps.

[hexed mango]

i agree

[hexed mango]

which i am happy for

[arctic grove]

I really wanna play some COD though 🤔
they too expensive for mah taste

[hexed mango]

containers are life bro

[toxic wigeon]

are they removing discarded

[hushed sierra]

true

[hexed mango]

In later Season 2 updates, we’re looking to introduce weapons such as the P90, the AKS-74u, and the M98B, with plenty more to come and we will keep sharing updates with you all as we have them. For those of you who didn’t jump in during Season 1: Zero Hour, we’ll be using the Assignments system to allow people to unlock Vehicles, and Specialists as well.

[woeful python]

yeah rly weird

[toxic wigeon]

Because drained looks like the same map

[wide shore]

I’m sure once hourglass gets it’s much needed overhaul, there will be tons of containers.

[hexed mango]

P90 AKS and M98B are coming as well, in S2!

[toxic wigeon]

Will they just call drained the rework

[pine roost]

the battlefield briefing on their website

[woeful python]

there are containers there

[solar obsidian]

container COPY.... PASTE

[wide shore]

Sauce?!

[lone wren]

P90 in AOW anyone

[grand prism]

Dude we went from MW 2019 to god tier cold war classic feeling back to ww2

[wide shore]

I love the AKS

[cosmic trout]

I don’t really care about the mass amounts of cargo containers. they didn’t make it seem out of place and it provides Cover so

[low timber]

I do wonder how the portal weapons will work, do they use the 2042 attachments or BF3 ones.

[hexed mango]

send

[vernal saffron]

Maybe it's a reference to how we all buy shit online and have it shipped over from who knows where? Like a deeper message?

[wide shore]

Bless

Ty

[hexed mango]

literally only mentions vault weapons @pine roost

[still vault]

Containers make sense, simple enough to not cost a lot to render, easily readable for the players, fits in the world as hotspots require stuff and stuff is transported in containers and make excellent makeshit barriers

[bright wharf]

Massive W update

[arctic grove]

OH GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

P90

[toxic wigeon]

So more weapons later season

[arctic grove]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[grand prism]

I'm waiting to play with the BC2 guns

[woeful python]

better but it still doesn't have it right like I get board playing 10 times faster then in bfv which had rly good gameplay

[toxic wigeon]

S2 sounds really good so far

[hexed mango]

ye, a total of 5 Portal weapons alone, that's really good

[pine roost]

the top bullet point under the first section

[hexed mango]

plus the base weapons

[toxic wigeon]

Just to get get killed next year

[arctic grove]

just a new jet and i'll be a very happy man

[low timber]

P90 yeeeeeeesssss

[toxic wigeon]

But enjoy while it lasts

[arctic grove]

OH GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[hexed mango]

ah you right

[ebon fern]

so watching this new trailer, its just about weapons and map design, what about the vehicles == the core gameplay of any good battlefield?

[tame cobalt]

Someone needa make some gifs of those orbital before and afters

[dapper river]

Discarded takes place in a shipbreaking yard in India, Drained takes place in Panama around an abandoned cargo ship that was left stranded by extreme weather conditions. Very different! Many such cases.

[woeful python]

Still the question of why is it taking so long?

[grave prism]

thats like 25% of all weapons in the aow ol

[toxic wigeon]

Also no vehicle re category

[hexed mango]

lmao

[cosmic trout]

As long as they don’t add a bomber I’m happy

[patent path]

okay so the specialist/class update is literally a nothingburger.
It adds nothing to the game, instead of now having to press 1 time to select your specialist, you have to press 2 times in season 2

[arctic grove]

that does make me sad tho

[hexed mango]

so S2 will have a total of 8 weapons!

[grand prism]

I played bf5 but like i kinda like 2042 more you know don't get me wrong bfV bf1 were really good games

[vernal saffron]

They better slap in them datamined weapons.

[craggy onyx]

bc its not bf1

[vocal adder]

So happy classes are coming back

[vernal saffron]

More pistols ffs

[hushed sierra]

lets go finally portal weapons

[toxic wigeon]

Honestly

[hexed mango]

well it says Handgun, so im assuming that's gonna be the M17

[storm jolt]

bf3 is my favorite because of nostalgia but 2042 has been the most fun for me, all my memories of bf4/5 have been frustrating and 1 was kind of boring besides flying

[toxic wigeon]

Specialists were just classes

[hexed mango]

they'll add an LMG for sure

[toxic wigeon]

Just not organized

[hexed mango]

maybe even a Sniper

[grand prism]

Remember the ship

[toxic wigeon]

So can Mackay fly on wing suit now

[hexed mango]

Season 2 is looking so hot

[cosmic trout]

They need to improve the air combat nobody fight each other for the most part and the anti air is strong but easily avoidable

[hexed mango]

no, but i wish

[lone wren]

Bf1 was designed to soak the atmosphere of war

[hexed mango]

fr jets need to be reworked

[grand prism]

Season 2 is really spicy

[craggy onyx]

No flying Mackay

[toxic wigeon]

Dang

[hushed sierra]

true, planes are so up

[grave prism]

i want a new smg honestly and and lmg and ill be happy

[vernal saffron]

Just throw the M1911 (never goes out of style) MP12 Rex and the 92R in

[grand prism]

Season 3 even more spicier

[storm jolt]

map wise bf1 was really and visuals go to V

[woeful python]

how? 2042 wants me to like it but it is just off I can't tell why like I just don't feel like loading into a match after a while. with bfv I have played for a couple years and and just getting board

[idle rock]

Map reworks are basically put more box and containers!NO INNOVATION

[hexed mango]

season 2 will start with 5 weapons (3 more already than S1) and will add 3 more later

[calm bison]

Dude watching the map overhaul for orbital is legit night and day

[hushed sierra]

you just cannot hit infantry with it and they arent that good against helis

[hexed mango]

did you not see the orbital rework??!??

[left hollow]

season 2 specialist is gonna be a support

[hexed mango]

that thing was so fucking good

[hushed sierra]

so helis are just better jets

[toxic wigeon]

Complains about no cover, they add cover. NO INNOVATION

[lone wren]

I did say that bf2042 is going on a similar path to bf4's redemption

[hexed mango]

either that or medic would be amazing

[toxic wigeon]

Literally this community holy hell

[hexed mango]

i hope so

[analog fractal]

Just read the blog, this is the case! GG dice

[pine roost]

i'm really looking forward to this class rework

[woeful python]

but we have to wait for classes for season 3.

[calm bison]

Dude they added a shit ton of foxholes to the launch ramp on Orbital

[lucid abyss]

Class's are coming back thank you BF

[slate meadow]

unless they dont buff borris turret

[pine roost]

they do be adding the javelin

[grave prism]

IF they support it past season 4 ill agree

[storm jolt]

i cant wait for the hidden patch notes too

[calm bison]

Claymores are also coming back

[hexed mango]

with at LEAST 3 maps in S2 (including reworks), plus more reworks, its gonna be 🔥

[idle rock]

i see it.Is a what i talking about

[hexed mango]

i cant wait for the 2.0 patch notes

[somber widget]

All the mole rats popping out of their holes to give their based ass opinions

[cosmic trout]

Hopefully with the class system you won’t see so much anti air allowing for more air vehicles and hopefully they fight trying to gain/maintain air superiority rather than focus on farming the infantry

[calm bison]

I wonder what the sidearm will be

[silk surge]

Official artwork for the Season 2 map in #Battlefield2042 called:

🇵🇦 "Stranded"

Point of interest is (as previously speculated) a stranded ship near or in a drained part of Gatun Lake, Panama. What are your impressions?

Twitter · Aug 22, 2022, 3:27 PM

[slate meadow]

they should support waaay past season 4

[grand prism]

Dude i'm asking myself the same thing really i just enjoy 2042 more than i did with 5 and 1 but i may be wrong just need to play those games again you know

[left hollow]

its on the battlefield specialist class page

[analog fractal]

Also, glad to hear that portal guns are under separate assignments that are always achievable. Dice doing it right 👀

[woeful python]

yeah looks pretty good but in other areas of reworked maps the cover looks rly forced

[idle rock]

And new map looks like dogshit copy paste discarded

[hexed mango]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/community/battlefield-core-feedback-specialists

[left hollow]

they talk about what specialists are in each class

[hexed mango]

this?

[calm bison]

People on Reddit are calling it Discarded 2.0

[wide shore]

It does look really good. When I heard they wanted to touch Orbital I was a bit iffy. Cause it’s one of the best maps rn. But damn did they make it way more wartorn.

[left hollow]

yes

[slate meadow]

blasphemy

[hexed mango]

oh yeah

it shows an assault and medic guy not there

[floral falcon]

[hexed mango]

blanked out

[calm bison]

I’m excited about that new bunker

[cosmic trout]

Hopefully unlike discarded the ship isn’t gutted which it doesn’t seem like it is

[hexed mango]

i wonder who they could be

[grand prism]

Yes it is i need to play those games again

[tame cobalt]

"at least" it's not gonna be more than that in s2 bro but yes the lineup especially orbital 2.0 and Stranded is hype

[hexed mango]

nah it seems super fun

[left hollow]

maybe season 3 is gonna be assault?

[whole lake]

And add 12 more maps...

[grand prism]

To understand the games

[cosmic trout]

It do

[hexed mango]

no they planned to work on a third apparently

[calm bison]

Honestly S2 looks really good

[sharp marten]

People wanted classes and they got classes

[hexed mango]

regardless, 3 maps is better than 2

[hushed sierra]

ok but can we talk about how they said all future seasons will have the same amount of content

[vernal saffron]

👀 New Assault and Support specialist?

[hexed mango]

[analog fractal]

5 portal guns confirmed for Season 2? Season 2 is already much better than Season 1, pog

[hushed sierra]

like damn

[lone wren]

250 player map confirmed

[hexed mango]

seems like it

[hexed mango]

yep!

[nova mirage]

ANGEL DOES IT AGAIN

[whole lake]

Yeah this was disappointing lol

[hushed sierra]

its so clear now that after s4 this game is done

[solar tinsel]

I will be shocked if this is the case, but I do appreciate that DICE has followed through strongly with the 4 promised seasons at least, and constant QoL updates

[hushed sierra]

i love the changes being made

[glossy storm]

So, the specialists are just organized into classes. That's it, right? Like, will there be any restrictions introduced?

[patent path]

bet your ass reddit will eat it up "omg classes are coming back bf is saved!!!!"

[slate meadow]

do me a favour when you play bf1 play it in a dark room headset loud but not to loud and immerse yourself fully it still blows my mind till this day

[hexed mango]

but its also clear that by S4 it will be an amazing game

[idle rock]

before seasons are done xDD

[analog fractal]

Bring back Angels smug smile

[nova mirage]

Anyways, was there recently an optimization patch or something close to it?

[hexed mango]

[cosmic trout]

No way, they think 120 is to much they won’t do more

[vernal saffron]

Like... that specialist with the RC car?

[hexed mango]

a tad

Is it just me or does the new map look like discarded 2.0

[arctic grove]

I am really hoping theres a new jet so all my jet training does not go in vain

[hushed sierra]

but they are so slow

[hexed mango]

probably not anymore

[idle rock]

EXACTLY

[hushed sierra]

i think that when s4 launches it will be a good bf game

[solar tinsel]

A bit, but to be honest it reminds me a bit more of Iron Gator

[slate meadow]

yeah the changes are happening far to slow

[lone wren]

Well it maybe mid next year that we will see season 4

[hexed mango]

my assumption is that the "RC Car" guy which was leaked months ago, turned into Lis
and that the new assault and support guys will be different

[hushed sierra]

just not what we hoped for when 2042 was announced

[glossy storm]

I kinda don't want them to introduce restrictions, but there's pros and cons to it.

[upper socket]

When does s2 start?

[nova mirage]

If you don't mind telling me if you could, what were they?

[hexed mango]

idk an RC Car really doesnt appease me too much

[solar tinsel]

I assume that there will be more density and movement within the ship (akin to Iron Gator) compared to Discarded where the ship is kinda bare

[analog fractal]

Angels voicelines are the only lines from OG 2042 they need to keep tbh

[hexed mango]

wdym

[hard plume]

Sooo hows everythong going

[cosmic trout]

It kinda does but I think it will feel much much different especially with the ship not being gutted like the ones on discarded were

[hushed sierra]

sept

[slate meadow]

and there was no mention of levelution which the game is lacking big time

[hexed mango]

good, update makes me happy

[pine roost]

you can see exactly what the restrictions will be on the website

[hexed mango]

• August 30th

[nova mirage]

What did they do?

[upper socket]

Damn

[river spear]

You guys trynna play

[hushed sierra]

oh coolo

[grand prism]

It's downloading now alongside bfV

[idle rock]

And what is this dev update for 5 min???

[fervent grotto]

By that time MW2 and Warzone 2 will be out and if those games are as great as they seem then this game will most likely die out. Not that I don’t want it to succeed. I hope it does.

[hexed mango]

with the 1.2 update, some visuals were increased with performance

[wide shore]

Orbital is looking damn good.

[hexed mango]

idk you can do your own digging

[vernal saffron]

I wonder where the next Specialist is from. heh... i'd love to see an Aussie

[tawny carbon]

RCXD will never happen in battlefield, to op

[glossy storm]

I don't think levolution is a key feature of 2042 anymore.

[hexed mango]

Ikr im so happy for that vehicle elevator

[analog fractal]

We might get more than 5 portal guns during season 2? Am I reading it right?

[sharp marten]

Did they say if they’re adding thermal sights or not?

[nova mirage]

Cause last i played i had terrible performance on bfs part so im hoping to get back into it again

[solar tinsel]

Yeah I was surprised to see it shown and ready for Oct TBH

[arctic grove]

Im hoping that stranded will have a levolution evet

[arctic grove]

the new cod looks ass ngl

[low timber]

Time to boot up a portal server and find that hill top

[cosmic trout]

Supposedly they are British

[nova mirage]

Fair enough

[tame cobalt]

Yes the rc-xd specialist will be assault

[solar tinsel]

the new base in Orbital seems a cool spot for it

[silk jasper]

Looks good

[hexed mango]

good, because levolution is overrated af

[hushed sierra]

ok so here is the thing, 2042 is going to be a good game, the thing is it will be a good game after 1 year

[fervent grotto]

For real!

[hushed sierra]

thats just sad man

[silk surge]

SPECIALIST CORE FEEDBACK LOOP HAS FINALLY STARTED AFTER ALL THESE MONTHS https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/community/battlefield-core-feedback-specialists

[vernal saffron]

Already confirmed?

[hexed mango]

no, leaks

[hushed sierra]

and also mw2 will be out by that time

[wide shore]

It’s there one everyone camps on at C1

[arctic grove]

yeah thats outright sad

[hexed mango]

bro i sent that like 2 seconds ago

[cosmic trout]

It was mentioned in the player card EE or something like that

[hushed sierra]

so not looking good for bf rn

[hard plume]

They’re bringing back classes

[calm bison]

I think that specialists in classes could work if they restrict gadgets

[river spear]

Cool you guys wanted this

[austere furnace]

i dont care about classes but class update is actually fire

[grand prism]

I want to see dozer's voice getting reworked i want a grittier and hardened version of Dozer

[hexed mango]

not until S3 tho

[solar tinsel]

They are, thats confirmed (Gadgets and throwables)

[vocal adder]

Dozer is already fine don't need to change him 😦

[silk surge]

yeah but I used all caps to signify excitement.

[hexed mango]

^^ s3

[tame cobalt]

wdym a third

[hushed sierra]

that is straight up unnacceptable for me

[hard plume]

Cool, i can hate the game then

[solar tinsel]

weapons are still universal

[analog fractal]

We need a swede specialist aka let us play as a rando DICE employee

[hexed mango]

lmao

[hexed mango]

a third rework

[somber widget]

It’s like some of y’all didn’t even watch the video. Just in here spewing shit

[slate meadow]

levelution is a core feature of the bf series though its part of what made people love the game to just disown it seems abit shit

[hexed mango]

deal with it + cope + seethe

[tame cobalt]

Cope

[whole lake]

Lol. why are they not locking guns too? I get the freedom but it forces you to play other roles to lol

[hushed sierra]

1 year to literally put specialists into classes? man it just shows how few ppl are actually working on 2042

[grand prism]

Is dozer in the list pleasee

[sharp marten]

Yeah how so?

[hexed mango]

a core feature in one game not the entire series

[frosty mural]

instead of med pen for assault should be ammo crate - that's what assault was in all BF games anyways

[austere furnace]

better late than never

[cosmic trout]

Because nobody want it

[river spear]

Lets play

[hushed sierra]

dude you are so high on copium i swear

[hexed mango]

cause that would be stupid

[solar tinsel]

To be honest, universal weapons were largely supported by the community, the gadgets play a larger role in "roles"

[hushed sierra]

i love bf but its a reality

[tame cobalt]

if they haven't announced it for s2 it's not coming in s2

[hexed mango]

nope

[fervent grotto]

Overall destruction is wayyyy better then levelution

[vernal saffron]

Let us play with Gustafsson

[austere furnace]

no, only bc2 has ammo on assault

[hexed mango]

no yeah itll probably come at the very very very end

[hushed sierra]

well mw2 and wz2 are just around the corner

[sharp marten]

Who?

[hexed mango]

asked

[hard plume]

Yeah but now i’ll have to use someone else for a spawn beacon

[silk surge]

Glad to see that P90 will be one of the first weapons to be shipped to AOW. I love that gun in PORTAL.

[analog fractal]

Lars hype

[hushed sierra]

and 2042 wont have classes until after those games launch

[tame cobalt]

A reality that not everyone cares so much about "MuH cLaSsEs"?

[slate meadow]

1 game? you clearly havent taken your pills today

[hexed mango]

[grand prism]

What about the Bc2 assault rifle

[solar tinsel]

correct, but that is the point. So not every specialist can be a jack of all trades in their role

[whole lake]

I get that. I do like the weapons unlocking later on maybe. Early on though it makes sense for more diversity. I feel everyone just uses the same gun the whole time then

[glossy storm]

IMO, what would be cooler is if the players themselves could transform Orbital from the almost pristine state of 'Before' to the destroyed state of 'After'. But, I guess, hardware limitations wouldn't allow this on such a big map.

[grave prism]

LOL they adding the javelin?! do they just hate vehicles. Hopefully they buff them before season 3..

[wide shore]

No mention of the an94.

[hexed mango]

it literally was only a main highlighted feature in one game

[hard plume]

It’s dumb

[hexed mango]

being BF4

[austere furnace]

i hope this update will bring back a lot of people

[sharp marten]

dudes pissing himself saying it’s not looking good for bf me laughing while I lord my m60

[hexed mango]

S3 maybe

[lone wren]

I enjoy smashing down houses like I'm the kool aid man

[hushed sierra]

idk it just bummers me how long can it take to put classes on a game

[solar tinsel]

I think it's fantastic and is more in line with traditional Battlefield

[vernal saffron]

Last i saw Swedish soldiers was in BF1942 against bots

[hexed mango]

M60 is gonna make me burst into happiness

[sharp marten]

Same bro

[wide shore]

[hexed mango]

same with M16 tho

[sleek latch]

It looks like they just have a skeleton crew working on this game, shame.

[hard plume]

Doing something for the sake of tradition, is dumb

[hallow sierra]

wait m60 is coming to AOW

[tawny carbon]

MW2 and WZ2 is just a remake of MW2 on MW 2019 engine, just another reskin game like any other CODs out there

[tame cobalt]

can we ban all these new people?

[hexed mango]

🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡

[lone wren]

M60 is going to be a reliable LMG

[sharp marten]

Yes

[vocal adder]

You know what i really want first person animation changes for the guns so lmg's and all that feel different

[hushed sierra]

true

[whole lake]

Same. Everything in the video we've theory crafted from just playing the game. IDK what other feedback to give though

[hexed mango]

ikr

[solar tinsel]

It's also better - the current system breaks class / vehicle / infantry balance. Literally it's been one of the more requested features

[hexed mango]

LMAO

[austere furnace]

no its not a skeleton crew, all fake news

[vernal saffron]

slaps M60 This bad boy can kill so many commies

[fervent grotto]

Not really.

[calm bison]

POG eod bot for AOW

[somber widget]

This chat rn:

[hexed mango]

[hushed sierra]

ik, literally everyone said that when game launched

[solar tinsel]

I get the sense it is a typical post-launch crew. Not skeleton, but also not what you'd expect for a live service

[sleek latch]

Amogus.

[open tangle]

Someone on Reddit said they stopped playing the game because of Paik.

[hard plume]

It’s not better.

[wide shore]

M60 is great in portal. So I’ve no doubt it’ll be great in the main game. Hopefully one of the 2 new guns is also an LMG. I’ve been missing using my LMGs

[hexed mango]

im super happy with this update

[austere furnace]

they said most of the artistic direction is working on the new game, but raw developers are on the game

[hexed mango]

skill issue?

[arctic grove]

dont start with your shit.

[sharp marten]

reloads m60 with malicious intent

[fervent grotto]

She’s not even THAT good

[left hollow]

i know if theres a tight tunnel on the new map im unloading mags

[hexed mango]

[analog fractal]

Damn, didn't even think about that

[open tangle]

What’s amogus

[solar tinsel]

Well, sorry to say it but a lot of folks disagree with you, and this is why it is being changed

[hushed sierra]

the og mw2 was also a copy paste of cod 4 and look how it went out

[fervent grotto]

Amogus

[hexed mango]

just spray in the cargo ship ez

[hushed sierra]

agreee

[left hollow]

truee

[nova mirage]

Damn it, can't seem to find anything about recent optimization updates since after season 1

[sharp marten]

I’m glad they’re bringing back assignments to unlock guns

[mossy badge]

just like that every battlefield game is remake of battlefield 1942

[tawny carbon]

They are making a new battlefield like game by Dice and EA

[jaunty fjord]

Why didn't the vehicle balance dice say

[calm bison]

So besides the M16 and M60, what do you guys think will be the next 2 primaries?

[lone wren]

Well as long as the heavy firepower can provide a lot of support to team-mates that need the heavy guns

[hallow sierra]

i cant even play 128 bt cuz last gen

[nova mirage]

Fingers crossed whatever was screwing with my performance is fixed

[hushed sierra]

they said its the p90 and aks74u

[lone wren]

The M60 can provide the heavy

[tame cobalt]

not sure how i feel about the changes to orbital forest side layout, guess we'll have to see how it plays

[left hollow]

theyre also adding a new pistol in the game

[calm bison]

I mean like for AOW. Like the BSV and X-bow, not portal weapons

[solar tinsel]

and M98B

[hushed sierra]

ah

[tawny carbon]

Every battlefield have its on aspect to the game each time, cod is just repetitive reskins nowadays

[solar tinsel]

P90, AKS74u, M98B on deck after M16A3 and M60E4

[hard plume]

With classes coming back what do you think will fundamentally change of how it plays?

[calm bison]

They need to give the M98B a unique reload animation

[fervent grotto]

Same with cod.

[austere furnace]

true. mw2 2022 will just be a mw2019 reskin

[whole lake]

It'll change a lot

[mossy badge]

Nope remakes

[whole lake]

C5 would only be on recon

[austere furnace]

they didnt even change the reload animation of the fennec in mw2

[analog fractal]

2 new guns, 1 new sidearm + 5 portal guns confirmed so far = 8 guns in total for the whole duration of season 2 (at the very least)

[solar tinsel]

I think vehicles will actually become strong and threatening again. A big imbalance of the current system is ANYBODY could "throw paper" against vehicle's "rock" which made vehicles get absolutely demolished by M5's C5s etc

[somber widget]

@hard plume Literally everything. Did you play any past BF titles at all?

[hallow sierra]

same with wz2 being a remake of wz

[whole lake]

But then they can still just run around with smgs...

So idk man

[flat ivy]

finally something good

[fervent grotto]

How much can you change the reload of a fairly basic reload?

[solar tinsel]

I think this hopefully will provide better balance and make vehicles a threat

[austere furnace]

literally same engine, what can people expect

[tawny carbon]

BSV is basically asval and VSS from other battlefield games in one

[wide shore]

Better than S1 at least.

[deep heart]

they remaking specialist why not just add the old system :/

[austere furnace]

uhm the time it takes to insert the mag is the same???????????????

[calm bison]

I know

[vernal saffron]

How about BF 2142 guns in the future? Both in AoW as in Portal?

[calm bison]

I’m asking

What are the new weapons

[vocal adder]

These changes they making might bring loads of people back haha

[austere furnace]

bro cmon they just copy pasted it

[solar tinsel]

No way they were going to GET RID of Specialists, but to be honest it's pretty dang close. Only difference is universal weapons which a lot of people largely like

[lone void]

So season 2 looks pretty great already

[calm bison]

We are getting 2 new primaries

And 1 new secondary

[lucid goblet]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-briefing-development-update-august-2022

[hushed sierra]

i mean to be honest mw 2019 animations were already top notch, dont change what isnt borken

[calm bison]

WHAT ARE THEY

[toxic wigeon]

Specialist system is just more organized now

[hushed sierra]

broken*

[fervent grotto]

Yea, why tf would they extend it? Mw fennec is balanced, so why change how long it’s reload is or it’s damage

[toxic wigeon]

It’s basically the same though

[austere furnace]

they sold stuff that rotates around specialists. they cant remove them

[toxic wigeon]

Gadgets are organized

[cobalt tide]

"None of the new Vault Weapons that we bring in from Battlefield Portal will have unlockable, or purchasable Cosmetics, and will not feature Mastery Appearances."

[hard plume]

This is kinda funny considering one of the big complaints besides the “no vc” was that vehicles were too op

[deep heart]

its super close you seen the dialog?

[slate meadow]

ffs

[mossy badge]

FACT 💯

[austere furnace]

so basically they can keep doing the same game all over again because they sell well

[karmic phoenix]

just saw the dev update, looks pretty cool

[solar tinsel]

vehicles are definitely not OP haha, there do need to be some balances and reworks, but tanks for example are pushovers and can barely go into objectives anymore

[slate meadow]

thats three games i have joined now with less then 10 tickets elft

[low timber]

M16A3, AKS-74U, M60E4, M98B and P90

[tawny carbon]

Specialist is what makes 2042 different from battlefield games

[wide shore]

We don’t know the 2 primaries and the new secondary. But the portal guns are: M16A3, M60E4, AKS-74U, M98B, P90

[austere furnace]

if you are happy to pay 70 bucks for the same reskinned game then im happy for you

[hushed sierra]

tanks suck so bad, as do planes

[solar tinsel]

yup, its very close to the old system

[fervent grotto]

I literally said none of that. I said that it makes since they keep it the same if it’s balanced

[calm bison]

Ok

Let’s clarify

[hushed sierra]

only helis destroy

[austere furnace]

but you know, in the trailer weapons dont even eject shells

[night vessel]

LETS GOOOOOOOO

[solar tinsel]

Right, so hopefully the gadget changes will make tanks good again

[vocal adder]

None of the vault weapons will have no camos or anything what ??/

[somber widget]

@austere furnace Bro can you bring that to a PM or something

[austere furnace]

what if they keep the same reload of all weapons? becomes a little boring i think

[solar tinsel]

tanks can ID threats, and also there will be less of them for those who want to play with other specialists

[austere furnace]

what

[hushed sierra]

i just hope they remove the awful bloom on jets

[hard plume]

I have, classes didnt make the game more enjoyable, in fact it was very limiting and somewhat bothersome

[calm bison]

I am asking for the new AoW Weapons, not portal weapons, AoW weapons like the BSV. I know what’s coming from portal.

[hushed sierra]

because it is IMPOSSIBLE to hit infantry with it

[somber widget]

The whole COD vs BF shit

[vocal adder]

So what's the point of bringing in the portal weapons

[somber widget]

We’re not discussing that

[mossy badge]

Dude why to change perfect animations

[austere furnace]

ok we re just over

[wide shore]

I assume they’re all made to work with the current camos. A new Tier 1 camo. And all the 2042 attachments.

[solar tinsel]

It's pretty bad ha - I was slaughtering in CQ Enhanced because of the increased damage, but in regular gameplay the spread and speed of the projectiles are pretty weak

[shell ermine]

Just stopping by to laugh at the people who said that classes weren't coming back

[calm bison]

Content

[fervent grotto]

They don’t. But a vector really has no unique ways to reload it. And an AK has many different ways to reload. And if that animation is fine why change it?

[tawny carbon]

Probably will and reworked weapon attachments maybe for AOW

[solar tinsel]

not too bad with the 25mm at least now

[austere furnace]

p e r f e c t

[hushed sierra]

nah it still sucks

[cobalt tide]

Nope, "None of the new Vault Weapons that we bring in from Battlefield Portal will have unlockable, or purchasable Cosmetics, and will not feature Mastery Appearances."

[tawny carbon]

I want my Tier 1 M16a3

[hushed sierra]

on bf5 i could totally get a triple with the mg, it was hard but i could

[solar tinsel]

eh, it's a two shot, I can usually pick someone off each strafing run

[hushed sierra]

on 2042 no way

[tawny carbon]

Fuh

[austere furnace]

the basic feel of playing the same thing again

[mossy badge]

Yep PERFECT

[solar tinsel]

yeah I mean, IMO jets should NOT be insane infantry killers though, so im fine with that

[hard plume]

Oh no agree vehicles arent as op as people claim they are but it’s still a criticism, hell even level cap brings it up in a recent vid

[hushed sierra]

nah the bloom is what makes it bad imo, damage is as it should (it is a 25mm round lmao)

[sharp marten]

New map looks sweet

[solar tinsel]

they need to be better against choppers more than anything

[quiet dragon]

Portal weapons will not have mastery APPEARENCE, ok. But they will have mastery assignments?

[hushed sierra]

true

[hallow sierra]

oh shit the m16 is going to be auto i tho it would be just burst

[austere furnace]

20 shot mag taking a whole second to bring it up from the pocket

[pine roost]

the 25s have good spread, it's the drift that is the big issue

[solar tinsel]

plus jets need their own dedicated spawn slot

[hushed sierra]

i mean against air vehicles jets are alright

[lucid goblet]

F35-B 👀 🤔

[fervent grotto]

Not really. Bf games run on frostbite. Does that mean they feel the same? No. So cod doesn’t feel the same as another one. Each has its unique feel.

[night vessel]

omg my idea was put in about destroyed vehicles

[solar tinsel]

which they DID mention as a possibility down the road

[hushed sierra]

it is against infantry

[sharp marten]

What’s dat?

[shell ermine]

Death to the Specialists!

[hushed sierra]

FAAAACCTTTTSSSSSS

[whole lake]

I will praise the only thing good about the video. The new map. Now that shit looks fire asf

[tawny carbon]

Probably have both settings or white with semi?… who knows lol

[bright wharf]

New map gives me Bf4 Naval Strike vibes + scary close quarters inside the ship

Kewl

[hushed sierra]

i am so tired of waiting for a jet because some 11yo took the super hind

[mossy badge]

remember it's a video game
in battlefield people jump off from f-35 shoot rocket launcher and get back into it

[austere furnace]

wasnt able to tell the difference between mw2019 and mw2022 but ok discussion over

[solar tinsel]

it is getting dunked on because of the containers, but tbh, I have no doubt it will be 24/7 servers of that map

[austere furnace]

thats totally doable my granpa did it

[hushed sierra]

it doesnt make any sense, it should be different

[solar tinsel]

At the end of the day, people love that insane CQB shit, and it sounds like thats what its going to be inside the ship

[hallow sierra]

i tho they was going to be bring the m16 as burst since we only have 2 burst and alot of autos

[fervent grotto]

You havent even played MW22. Bruh it’s not out yet. You can’t look at a game and then say it feels the same

[solar tinsel]

I know people say "Discarded" but the new map reminds me of Iron Gator

[hushed sierra]

it has 3 fire modes, auto burst and semi i think

[austere furnace]

no but i played mw2019 enough

[hallow sierra]

ik i saw

[hushed sierra]

at least that is how it is in portal

[analog fractal]

People will actually be able to have a firefight there or move between the the points without being instantly sniped now

[sharp marten]

P90 go BRRRRRT

[mossy badge]

Yeah then the reload animations are perfect I asked from your grandpa he agreed with me

[fervent grotto]

That’s not how that works

[whole lake]

One thing this game has done really well is color palette imo. It's some of the most pleasing to my eyes

[somber widget]

@lucid goblet I noticed that too, pretty cool!

[solar tinsel]

they learned from the blue cool cast of BF3 ha

[austere furnace]

dam u were lucky to meet him D:

[scenic tartan]

So potentially only Boris and Irish will have stingers now?

[austere furnace]

yes, also everyhing is more visible

[tawny carbon]

I think it will be exactly the same as portal but I’m still questionable about how the attachment will be, from that main game or reworked attachments for 2042 attachments

[solar tinsel]

Seems like it

[austere furnace]

remember when in bf1 and v people were invisible coz of the palette

[shell ermine]

I played a little bit when season 1 launched, maybe I'll play a little when 2 and 3 launch? But Modern Warfare II is going to be my main game now. DICE can't make up for 2042

[whole lake]

Well BFV had an amazing color palette too. Honestly BF1 as well. Didn't like 3/4s

[solar tinsel]

unless for some reason they decide to put M5's with Assault, but I kind of doubt that

[somber widget]

@shell ermine That’s nice but like… who asked?

[tawny carbon]

Extended barrel on portal weapons is op compare to barrels we have now on 2042 weapons

[hard plume]

This will deff intensify the “vehicles are too op”

[whole lake]

I feel you. I'm excited to play the new season but it sucks that we don't have at least 4 new maps

[austere furnace]

it depends on which game they want to take example. in bf1, assaults were anti tanks.. in bf3 and 4, engineers were

[hushed sierra]

i mean it was like that in bf5, assault got 2 vehicle destroying slots

[toxic wigeon]

Vault weapons having no cosmetics kind of sucks tbh

[solar tinsel]

I know, sadly haha. But Im so happy to have vehicles be threatening again

[toxic wigeon]

But oh well

More guns

[hushed sierra]

idk i hope they balance it out correctly

[toxic wigeon]

All that matters

[austere furnace]

bro name is bf5 > 2042 tho 💀

[pine roost]

nobody seems to be mentioning that the tracer dart is now a gadget for recon

[mossy badge]

😂😂

[hushed sierra]

nah i dont care too much about it, as long as more weapons keep coming

[toxic wigeon]

I only care cause I like working for t1 mastery camo

[hallow sierra]

so youre telling me i cant i have my t1 skin on my m16

[somber widget]

So many trolls come out to play when DICE drops some info/content

I love it

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah

[solar tinsel]

Right, but Engineer historically has been a "vehicle" class, and Lis' classification might show that they intend for Engi to be anti-vehicle this time

[hushed sierra]

id rather have 5 grey guns than 2 cosmetic guns

[toxic wigeon]

Basically lol

[sharp marten]

Who called it that people were going to shit on this reveal?

[austere furnace]

i want m98b t1

[hallow sierra]

damn

[hard plume]

The salty tears do feel me with happiness

[toxic wigeon]

I liked what I saw though

[austere furnace]

people nowadays just will find any way to spread shit over this game

[toxic wigeon]

Hype

[hard plume]

I may just embrace classes for that

[hushed sierra]

yeah yeah ik, was just saying bf5 because its the most recent class title 👍

[tawny carbon]

I want a tier 1 Mp7

[austere furnace]

imo the upcoming stuff is bringing back a lot of people

[solar tinsel]

yeah people just want people to be miserable. This seems like a nice S2, and while the NEW content stream still is sad in comparison to the past - it is at least more content than S1

[toxic wigeon]

It will

[hushed sierra]

true

[toxic wigeon]

Class, new map, rework

Guns

[sharp marten]

Honestly this season is gonna be exciting I can’t wait

[toxic wigeon]

Specialist

[hushed sierra]

s2 looks good imo, not great but also not mid

[tawny carbon]

Love my mp7 on every battlefield game same with F2000

[scenic tartan]

Allowing anyone to equip anti vehicle was always the main problem with the no class restrictions

[whole lake]

I want to like it man but being someone that's been following the game since they even announced it. It's just stuff the people have been asking for tbh...

[lone wren]

What is y'all favourite gun

[somber widget]

They are giving us a little something of everything. If you’ve moved on from 2042 that’s fine, nobody is asking you to come back.

LOL

[hallow sierra]

are we getting more stuff compare to s1 (maybe)

[hushed sierra]

the only thing that bothers me is why classes are going to be introduced in s2 (which is in december i think)

[solar tinsel]

Yeah
So over the course of S2 we should see:

• 2 map reworks
• 1 new map
• ~8 added weapons (3 new + likely 5 or so Vault)
• 1 new specialist
• I can't recall if they said new vehicle or not...

[sharp marten]

My brother Atleast they’re listening to us that’s what matters that’s what brings people in no game is successful without it’s player base fight me on it

[hushed sierra]

is it a question or a statement? lmao

[frosty mural]

Wait - so they are leaving the weapons as is - not stuck per class? So i can run a sniper rifle on sundance?

[hallow sierra]

statement

[frosty mural]

That's sick

[hushed sierra]

yes

basically think of tradiitonal classes but no gun restrictions

imo its great

[solar tinsel]

yup weapons are still universal

[frosty mural]

i agree

[solar tinsel]

agreed

[frosty mural]

fuck yes

[hushed sierra]

because weapon restrictions made me not play the class i wanted

[silk surge]

Wait, they're bringing EOD to AOW?

[solar tinsel]

GADGETS + THROWABLES are class locked

[sharp marten]

If you think weapons should have restrictions you’re a silly goose

[tawny carbon]

Is basically what the game is based off, the community to help the game out while keeping the specialists aspect to it because it’s a new system for classes

[hushed sierra]

for example on bf5 i loved the bren but i like playing as a medic

[frosty mural]

that's all that was missing from the other BF titles..i hated having an LMG just to give ammo to ppl

[hushed sierra]

so i just had to choose one of them

[solar tinsel]

plus specialists are getting new traits that are meant to be more aligned with their class roles

[whole lake]

It's cross play. To me as a PC player. This game won't last on PC with lackluster updates. People just go play other PC games. Seen it so many times... At least I'll be able to play with console people I guess

[wide shore]

RIP my rapid motion sensor throwing.

[hushed sierra]

now i can just pick both

[toxic wigeon]

“Season 3 and beyond”

[frosty mural]

no more grappling hoook mccay?

[silk surge]

Are they bringing gadgets from PORTAL as well?

[grave prism]

yes

[toxic wigeon]

I think

[somber widget]

EOD Bot

[solar tinsel]

specilasts will still have their unique gadget

[somber widget]

So yes i assume

[toxic wigeon]

Class rework is mainly gadget focused so doesn’t surprise me

[solar tinsel]

@frosty mural I'm talking about the free gadgets

[sharp marten]

Where’d you find this

[tawny carbon]

Yes all they are doing as in specialists/class rework

[sharp marten]

The SS

[hallow sierra]

wait can i still use beacon with any classes

[wide shore]

Oh shit the tracer dart gun

[grave prism]

no

[hushed sierra]

no

[tawny carbon]

Imagine the F2000

[solar tinsel]

oh dang, didn't even notice Vault... gadgets?

ha

thats cool

[silk surge]

I'm so excited about repair tool becoming an extra gadget like in older games. Almost nobody has it equipped atm.

[fiery solar]

I love how future orbital looks it’s like they’re rebuilding the game now slowly

[toxic wigeon]

Weapons shouldn’t be class focused tbh

I honestly never liked that

[somber widget]

@silk surge I know lmao it’s horrendous rn

[toxic wigeon]

Made me only want to play assault

[whole lake]

Now that is exciting

[wide shore]

Thankfully they’re not

[toxic wigeon]

Ik

[lusty temple]

Please let there be a flood related levolution event

[toxic wigeon]

Which is good to me

[fiery solar]

Someone’s likes to be a medic with a rocket launcher

[solar tinsel]

hold on now

[wide shore]

I agree.

[toxic wigeon]

Nah primary weapons

[solar tinsel]

does that mean we get more more "gadget" outright?

[toxic wigeon]

I don’t care for gadgets

[tawny carbon]

Back to my old hardcore recon main days

[fiery solar]

W

[silk surge]

If there was, they would've marketed the crap out of it in this developer update.

[grave prism]

it still gonna be annoying when everybody just uses the sfar or k30 like they do not lol

[pine roost]

btw there is a feedback thread in feedback hub now

[whole lake]

Yeah I think primary's should be locked but apparently most people here don't

[viscid bone]

Hey folks!

With the launch of a new Core Feedback topic, we've opened up a thread over here to discuss those changes made. Feel free to jump in and share your thoughts and suggestions on what needs to change around our current plans!

[lusty temple]

Honestly I don't know why they're reworking orbital

[slate meadow]

The stealth choppers ruin the game to be fair

[grand prism]

Oh noo

[dim lance]

why did the announcement video say the classes were a big change when it looks like all they did was put the specialists into catagories

[slate meadow]

Can't even soflam them

[toxic wigeon]

Gadgets

[solar tinsel]

gadgets and throwables are class locked

Gadgets being reworke d

For classes now

So medics can’t use rockets

[tawny carbon]

The ol fan favorite legendary battlefield weapon

[whole lake]

What you guys think will be the new ability for the support specialist

[toxic wigeon]

RC XD

[hard plume]

What does support have c4 and ammo?

[hexed mango]

Battlefield 2042? nah. Hypefield 2042

[grand prism]

Yeah

[arctic grove]

Only 1 map what a joke

[toxic wigeon]

2 reworks bruh

[fiery solar]

Is hypefield coming back

[toxic wigeon]

To me it’s fine

[tiny imp]

one map per season they said

[tawny carbon]

Reworks too duhduhduhhhh

[toxic wigeon]

Kaleidoscope felt different

[fiery solar]

Honestly 2 1/2

[whole lake]

What about a healing/ammo drone that you can drop off packs to people haha

[toxic wigeon]

Maybe

Would be cool

[fiery solar]

That’s not even a bad idea

[tawny carbon]

To futuristic

[whole lake]

Sounds cool but def not coming k bet

I bet lol

[arctic grove]

Even bf5 had more coming out at this point

[tawny carbon]

Remember 2042 is 20 years ahead of BF4 in the timeline

[somber widget]

@arctic grove Bring your negativity elsewhere

[toxic wigeon]

No

[somber widget]

Thx

[steady pewter]

Everything in that video was good apart from the fact that we're going to be getting the same level of content we got in season one going forward

[arctic grove]

@toxic wigeon yes

[toxic wigeon]

Bfv had like one big update and that was it

[steady pewter]

the game is so damn barren

[solar tinsel]

ok but hold on folks, am I going nuts here? Are we as a result getting one more gadget while deployed, effectively?

[toxic wigeon]

I think

[whole lake]

I feel drones are op in this game rn. You hop on breakthrough kaleidoscope and you can camp the last push in the corners of the building and just get non stop spots

[solar tinsel]

Does McKay, for example get: Grappling Hook + Med Pen + (Smoke/C5/Armor)

[grave prism]

they better make AT mines stay spawned when you die now if they are engineer class lmao

[whole lake]

It's fun just watching all the war under you too lol

[dusk fern]

They totally missed the mark on the class system.

[tiny imp]

new map in season 2 looks awesome. More infantry focused map

[solar tinsel]

Spec. Gadget + Fixed Class Equipment + Selected Class Gadget

thats HUGE if thats the case

[lucid goblet]

Enhance👀 🔍

[fiery solar]

Spot everyone making it easier to push through

[arctic grove]

How many more months until they fix mouse input

[viscid bone]

Feel free to provide context as to why you feel that way.

[tawny carbon]

I get on the drone to get insane amount of spot assist and see how people play

[toxic wigeon]

S2 prob

[brittle forge]

I knew they were just gonna slap restrictions on what was already there and call it good. Which I get was what people were asking for, but it’s Not even coming for a whole other season anyway. I appreciate that they’re at least trying but honestly with the way the game is setup having open loadouts is probably better given how half assed the gadgets are with specialists in mind. Restricting ammo and medical crates to Falck and Angel doesn’t really make sense since each’s intrinsic gadget focuses those already

[grave prism]

locking guns to classes was always annoying and they changed it every game, glad that you can use any gun now

[whole lake]

We won a game cause I had like 100 spots for my people's on the last obj. No one looks up. They just keep pushing from c1 to 2

Lol

[brittle forge]

My problem with specialists was at they’re characters instwad of generic soldiers, as well as not having class restrictions

[rotund cloak]

there is nothing special with one more shipping containers map in pool of 5 shipping container maps

[somber widget]

@arctic grove That’s your setup bro lmao i have absolutely none

[toxic wigeon]

Idrc about specialists being the same

[fiery solar]

I got 50fps every time I played on pc and I never had mouse input problems

[toxic wigeon]

I forget we are all the same in game anyway

I just pay attention to gadgets

[jaunty fjord]

Why didn't dice mention vehicle balance and mouse input fixes

[toxic wigeon]

Idk

[grave prism]

they are adding more gadgets, i would agree with you otherwise but with them adding new things instead of just medical/ammo crate i think it will be better off.

[solar tinsel]

Probably not a big enough topic for a video. If that is coming, it will be in patch notes

[toxic wigeon]

Only thing I’m disappointed on was vehicles being reassigned

[tiny imp]

Hehe the new map in season 2 looks like a copy from Discarded. I really hope not!

[mental delta]

Why improving the game when you can just make no changes to the amount of content ?

[toxic wigeon]

But we’ll see

[solar tinsel]

more like Iron Gator

[toxic wigeon]

Looks more close quarters

[tiny imp]

Discarded a la close quarters

[solar tinsel]

eh, the "CQB" is quite bare

[somber widget]

No it’s not wtf

[toxic wigeon]

Why don’t they give assault emp

[arctic grove]

Very disappointed with the map count for season 2 but it's not surprising for this game

[mental delta]

Discarded 2.0, empety spaces everywhere and a big boat in the middle of nowhere, but apparently they heard us about maps 🙄

[somber widget]

Yea this chat is def trippin

[jaunty fjord]

I hope so, I feel like season 2 could be a turnaround

[toxic wigeon]

Exposure was good

[tawny carbon]

I still can’t wait till the fix on pc where controller sens does mess with muse sense and back to mouse for input

[dusk fern]

Class system with specialists should still include a generic solider you can customize for each class (I.e. headgear, uniform etc - ideally one per faction) to break up seeing the same characters on screen at any given time. I like the old class system and can adapt to what the new changes will be (I do enjoy having certain weapons locked per class but that’s just me, but having the option to be any of the generic characters from the trailers with specialists around is what should be happening.

[toxic wigeon]

So I think new map will be good

[solar tinsel]

While the NEW content is still unfortunately low compared to previous games, it's more new and reworked content than S1 at least

[arctic grove]

Exposure was average just not as shitty as the other maps

[rotund cloak]

i still didnt play season 1

[toxic wigeon]

S1 was good

S2 seems way better

[fiery solar]

Would be cool if the new map like manifest has containers move but instead we can knock down 1 or 2 for cover or a new way up ( if they let us climb containers )

[tawny carbon]

Like BF4

[somber widget]

@dusk fern He meant by clicking on the link and utilizing that. Not by sending him a novel.

[hallow rapids]

Does anyone know how to fix high cpu usage and low gpu usage on bf 2042?

[fiery solar]

Season 2 looks much better than season 1 already

[glad owl]

Why is this not the BF2042 theme?!?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WglM51CE1KM&ab_channel=EpidemicFantasy

[tawny carbon]

To high to know

[dusk fern]

I’m pretty sure he meant what he said.

[jaunty fjord]

My minimum requirement for 2042 is to be able to exceed bf5

[toxic wigeon]

Def

[hallow rapids]

@tawny carbon to high to type

[fiery solar]

We got 0 trailers for season 2 just a slight look at it and it looks great

[toxic wigeon]

Honestly

[solar tinsel]

I'm going to disagree with @dusk fern and say that the proposed class system for 2042 is actually a huge step in the right direction. It keeps specialists (which obviously has to happen) keeps free weapons (generally approved by the community) but forces gadget roles (whcih the community generally complained about)

[tawny carbon]

To high to think

[wraith sphinx]

funny seeing every new thing dice did for 2042 just get thrown out the window and reverted back

[toxic wigeon]

Never cared about being a faceless soldier

[dusk fern]

I liked in bf4 having a couple guns be class specific too. Not all of them but like the m16/ak47 per faction.

[toxic wigeon]

Like you can’t even see yourself

[solar tinsel]

^ while Id be down with full solider customization, I also dont care that it didnt

[toxic wigeon]

They could have fixed if specialists on teams were actually different models

Like cod

[solar tinsel]

I do think for a future game, that'd be cool for sure

[toxic wigeon]

But gadgets are same

[fiery solar]

Maybe they’ll change weapon locking when they add more weapons but that’s just a random thought

[toxic wigeon]

So you aren’t shooting same people on both sides

[solar tinsel]

like you have 8 classes you can customize, 4 per faction. but obviously this game wont pivot THAT hard

[lucid goblet]

there's a thread for specialist feedback here #1011301084117086308

[jaunty fjord]

speciakist skills take up 1 slot in the equipment slot, I can't stand it

[solar tinsel]

I don't see it happening, a lot of people like the free weapon selection

[little lagoon]

More portal content ❤️

[dusk fern]

My main issue is the specialists/generic soldiers. Not so much the weapons/gadgets. Though it would be rad if every person playing didn’t have a rocket launcher lol

[toxic wigeon]

That’s being changed

[jaunty fjord]

dice should be changed to 2 equipment and 1 skill

[still badger]

Hello everybody!who wants to play bf2042?

[solar tinsel]

I mean, I hear you. But that's way to big of a pivot for this game. Realistically, DICE is obviously NOT going undo all of that work. Maybe something for a future game perhaps

[little lagoon]

Orbital looks good

[solar tinsel]

but Specialists arent going away - the proposed system is the best-case utilization of them though, IMO

[arctic grove]

Can't wait for 1 new weapon and then a troll gun maybe they'll add back the kolobri 😒

[little lagoon]

Everything sounds good too

[lucid goblet]

!!lfg

[little lagoon]

I'm excited friends

[toxic wigeon]

Yep

This is how I knew they would do the change

[iron thistle]

New map looks cool

[toxic wigeon]

Specialists stay

But just classed

[solar tinsel]

right, this is what they would have arrived to I think if they had 6 more months to develop haha

[tawny carbon]

I still can’t wait till the fix on pc where mouse and controller sensitivity doesn’t conflict with each other

[still badger]

Hi, I'm from Russia, let's play together

[hallow sierra]

wait so the new map is infantry based

[jaunty fjord]

Maybe the next generation of Battlefield won't delete specilist,but do it based on 2042

[glad owl]

Is there a fix for slow loading textures? other then buying a 3090?

[gloomy wyvern]

I forgot about the artic map... Not breakaway

[grizzled whale]

its battlefield based

[little lagoon]

I'll have to change specialists if c5 is taken away from paik lol

[tawny carbon]

It’s battlefield 2042 based

[iron thistle]

Theyve got to get rid of the hero shooter specialists for the next game too many people upset ab them in 2042 as is

[somber widget]

@hallow sierra They said it was more focused on infantry gameplay so yes, i assume it’s like a Discarded but more CQB

[arctic grove]

The next battlefield has to get rid of specialists bc damn if they have another major fuck up again it might be over

[tawny carbon]

Delete the chache to load faster

[hallow sierra]

hope so

[grave prism]

sure it will be similar to exposure with a BIG area for infantry and space for vehicles too

[little lagoon]

It has boats don't it?

[jaunty fjord]

I hope so

[iron thistle]

Exactly next bf its almost necessary for them to nail everything and for the franchise to return to its roots

[grizzled whale]

oh fuck sake

classes comming back
