battlefield-2042

[arctic grove]

is there a support channel?

[hearty flame]

not here

[iron socket]

What glitches in exposure?

Daily reminder to not be a trash Boris main

[gloomy wyvern]

I have a spawn

[vocal adder]

What old problems i haven't noticed any coming back

[tame cobalt]

cuz noshahr canals TDM and Manifest conquest are mostly just crates and it's fantastic

[hearty flame]

not sure if it got fixed but that ads bug when using a GL is still around

[gloomy wyvern]

I'm @ work but I'll send ss when I get it

[iron socket]

I lose aim control after getting out of vehicles or spawning sometimes like I can’t aim up or down

[hearty flame]

ya that one. fairly certain they said that it was fixed a few times and it still isnt

[iron socket]

yea thought it was fixed but I experienced it like 1-2 game on S2

i also remember seeing some dude running on air

but that might’ve just been lag

[jade hill]

"call in ranger" what is ranger?

[gloomy wyvern]

Doggy

[raw moss]

Robo dog of death

[jade hill]

Oki

And what lmg is best now

[arctic grove]

ive seen that too, then I died, spawned on the dude, and was able to fly like him :/

[gloomy wyvern]

Yes, know I know what I must do

[arctic grove]

does anyone have the unable to load persistence data problem too?

or is it just me?

[gloomy wyvern]

Rarely

[arctic grove]

lol i still cant play because of that error but on the videos on yt the say that i have to turn crossplay off and on?

[quiet adder]

Ok going into my first game with voice chat enabled lmao

[granite island]

2 c5s didn't kill a wild cat

[gloomy wyvern]

It's not common to get anyway

[quiet adder]

Probably cause no one knows about it. What type of game makes voice chat a setting to turn on lol

[gloomy wyvern]

Text chat is rare too...

[jagged yacht]

Who's loving new Friday night battlefield mode

[granite island]

Is it good?

[jagged yacht]

Stranded team death choas match 24/7 Ur in the ship only

Faster bullets faster redeploy and movement goes to 400 kills

[granite island]

The new portal mode?

[granite island]

Oh

That sound like xp

Irish time

[gloomy wyvern]

Why no one uses him in breakthrough -_-

[granite island]

I use him

[gloomy wyvern]

I'm like the only one

[granite island]

It's just that when you're in the open

Doesn't work that well

[fierce crow]

When do weekly challenges reset?

[gloomy wyvern]

They broke him, RPGs are ignored now

[gloomy wyvern]

Every week

[jagged yacht]

@fierce crow change to Tuesdays

[safe inlet]

Avancys, the one in the battlepass

[jagged yacht]

@safe inlet yea

[dry kestrel]

ayyy how do i get the m60 ?

it's labeled as bf3 vault ???

[jagged yacht]

Tells u can't remember as I have it unlock something like 100 kills with pkp

[grand prism]

You have to get kills with pkp on AOW or m60 on portal and resupply 100 teammates

[dry kestrel]

holy shiet

[hexed mango]

click on it, you can view the missions

iirc it’s 100 resupplies and 100 kills with the PKP or M60

[grand prism]

Yep 100 kills

[dry kestrel]

man i just want to have fun pow pow with the m60 like ferking Rambo

and they locked it up

sad

[hexed mango]

picking up someone’s M60 in aow also works just fyi

[grand prism]

Oh right

[granite island]

Wtf is that grenade explosion range

[grand prism]

Forgot about that

[granite island]

It killed me a mile away

[distant fern]

Hop in a solo bot match, rip 100 bots, unlock m60

[dry kestrel]

wait just pick it up ? cause last night instead of helping a dude i just stole his m60

ah i see

we still need 100 kills

[distant fern]

Honestly 100 kills in solo on basic bots is like 15 minutes work

[dry kestrel]

got it, lemme hop in breakthru with bot

[distant fern]

Breakthrough kalidoscope does it for me, they just stand in the open and you can mow em down

[dry kestrel]

Good plan !!

[distant fern]

Wish more people would do that with the m16 unlock cos I am sick of being killed by the SFAR grenade launcher lol

[dry kestrel]

oh yeah, i wonder why so many pp spamming SFAR nade now

[jagged yacht]

Not many people go solo as xp restricted

[gloomy wyvern]

Dice has entered the chat:

Solo runs on bot servers no longer count for unlocks 😈

[granite island]

I love the C5s in stranded chaos

[uncut bay]

nobody does solo for xp, just for attachments and such

[granite island]

They fly across the map

Like how it should

[gloomy wyvern]

New operator isn't any good...

[uncut bay]

don't know why you're telling me that, but i disagree

he's great on chokepoints but has enough downsides to where he's not op

surprised dice managed to get it right the first time

[gloomy wyvern]

My LMG has a better cool down....

[uncut bay]

then use your lmg

[distant fern]

Too late, I maxed out the RAM

[granite island]

Dice please make knife one shot

[gloomy wyvern]

Then why have a new operator that can't fire for more than 2sec

[granite island]

I'm tired of stabbing steel

[uncut bay]

don't know stop pinging me, i already gave you my thoughts

[distant fern]

New operator has their moments but they're far and few between.

Glad he didn't launch with exposure lol, probably would have ruined that map from day 1

[gloomy wyvern]

Bullet spread is wider than an elephant...and overheats after 2sec

[distant fern]

Keeps it balanced, ironically shoots and kills faster than the vehicle mini guns

It's perfect for locking out the corridors in exposure.

[gloomy wyvern]

I'll get past easy with how it is already...

[distant fern]

Big doubt, cos we all just "get past" on exposure corridors lmao

[granite island]

Why does stranded tdm chaos make me desync

[gloomy wyvern]

Why is stranded less skipped than breakaway

[hexed mango]

cause it’s a good map

ik you don’t think so, but your opinion is wrong

[tacit sorrel]

Exposure and stranded are the best maps in the game

[gloomy wyvern]

Orbital is a good map, exposure is a good map

[hexed mango]

that’s what i’m saying

and i agree

[tacit sorrel]

Vanilla maps are ass

[edgy oriole]

Orbital poop

[hexed mango]

Orbital and Exposure are great, but so is stranded

i think orbital and manifest are the only semi-good base maps

[tiny imp]

exposure and stranded are way more polished maps then entire main/vanilla maps. This is a proof this game need another one more year to develop

[hexed mango]

and after it’s rework, i’m hoping Orbital is gonna be even better

[hexed mango]

true there is a HUGE difference in design, quality, assets, etc in the two season maps compared to base maps

[tiny imp]

and reworked maps are proof too

[edgy oriole]

Last sector cover doesn't even matter bc the whole defending side will die when the rocket blows up.

[left hollow]

that gets so annoying

[hexed mango]

like the amount of stuff on Stranded and Exposure is frankly amazing, the detail/stuff packed into the maps looks so much nicer than any base map

[left hollow]

and it always seems to happen

[hexed mango]

you only have to be like 5ft away to survive

[tacit sorrel]

Stranded is the best infantry map for sure

[edgy oriole]

I dont think it would've gotten to me if the game didn't force me to play that map over and over again for days a couple months back.

[edgy oriole]

Maybe 500 feet away.

[gloomy wyvern]

No, orbital

[tacit sorrel]

[gloomy wyvern]

This is me with breakaway, manifest, and stranded

[hexed mango]

not really, i just jump down next to the tower and 9/9 times survive

[tacit sorrel]

Orbital is sniper heaven

[left hollow]

the only thing i dont like about it is that there is so much debris and effects

i can never see anything going on

[edgy oriole]

You can survive standing behind the stairs of the tower but your whole team isn't going to do that

[tacit sorrel]

Like most of the vanilla maps with no cover

[edgy oriole]

= tower blows up. Whole defending team dead. = lose.

[hexed mango]

an issue in regards to level of skill

[fierce crow]

Ty

[edgy oriole]

Plus if a big blob of 32 players are hiding in the open of a tower the stealth helo just gotta eat them alive in .8 seconds.

[gloomy wyvern]

Stranded:

Take "Charlie" obj & rotate = win

[edgy oriole]

Oh you are a fellow rotator

[cedar cape]

Im trying to unlock the M2 Carbine but it wont track the 1942 assault kills, is that a bug ?

[tacit sorrel]

Probably

[edgy oriole]

I didnt think the new portal weapons were available to u nlock yet.

[tacit sorrel]

I unlocked the aek

[reef bough]

um, stranded light mode lol

[cedar cape]

Yeah i have nearly done 1/2 of the m2 carbibe challenges, its just the kills wont track

[edgy oriole]

Gah damn. Your gpu alright?

[hearty flame]

god damn i can barely make out any color lol

[surreal crystal]

Goofy Aah effect

[calm bison]

So a technician came out to my house

Apparently

A fiber cable wasn’t wired correctly

[gloomy wyvern]

I've been having the same...it's great when you just woke & it 2am

[calm bison]

So it’s be causing insane instability

So now they’re trying to get a team out here to fix it

[hearty flame]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-blind-flashbang-light-mode-gif-21281004

[calm bison]

So it wasn’t my Xbox causing the instability

It was a poorly wired cable

finally I can play 2042 again

[gloomy wyvern]

@calm bison Battlefield V was amazing, I want my mortar squad back 🪦

[edgy oriole]

I want reinforcements back.

[gloomy wyvern]

Mortar squad = reinforcements

[edgy oriole]

[hearty flame]

the reinforcement system would work a lot better now that you dont have to redeploy to actually get it and can have it dropped where you need it

[edgy oriole]

And squads wouldn't play brain dead so you can get points for these vehicles.

[grizzled whale]

ah yes

wishing death onto people because you suck at a game

thats a completely reasonable thing to do

[edgy oriole]

But I also had my time with brain dead squads that wouldn't spend points either

[hearty flame]

does 2042 have the replace SL because they arent doing shit system?

[granite island]

I got the squad wipe trophy with 1 c5

Nice

[minor ferry]

where do I report bugs?

[edgy oriole]

Some of them were assholes too. You'd ask for orders hoping they'd ignore it so you become squad lead but they give an order to cancel it.

[grizzled whale]

forums

[minor ferry]

gotcha

[grizzled whale]

you suck at the game

thats all there is

also at english

no need to wish death onto the devs because you dont like it

[edgy oriole]

Yes but it doesn't matter. But the system already in place for them to add this stuff

[grizzled whale]

commit* and remove the a

[green bridge]

😂😂

[hearty flame]

I wonder what they could do to make points usable for the squad is the SL isnt using it

[next onyx]

Oh god it's a fucking french man.

Kill it now.

Burn it.

[summer zenith]

Yes

[edgy oriole]

The best thing I can think of which isn't good is the whole squad can use the points. But that would make it open for squad members to troll and waste the points.

[lucid goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/ban-banned-gif-8540512

[next onyx]

Yeah my bad I didn't even look up.

I saw the Frenchman and I got tunnel vision.

[edgy oriole]

[hearty flame]

Ya. maybe have a use points comment on the commo rose and if the SL doesnt do anything that privilege gets moved over temprarily to the person that asked? but that has the same problem with the sl just wasting points to keep his role

[scenic spire]

i join the server and the first thing i see is this. i think imma like it hear lmao

[summer zenith]

Welcome to this server

[edgy oriole]

Yeah like a request vehicle or supplies. Have it pop up on sl screen maybe.

[tacit sorrel]

SL only matters in bfv

[silk jasper]

does irishes sentinel disable m320 launchers?

[scenic spire]

2 seconds into the server and a guy gets banned. in an amusing way lmao.

[hearty flame]

I can see it now lol. someone requsts an arty strike and the sl aims it at spawn outta spite

[summer zenith]

It should be cool it they add mortars

[tacit sorrel]

Calling in supply drop would be nice

[hearty flame]

Id take mortars if they were more like squad mortars. no hit cameras, manual adjustments. stuff like that and not like 4 or 1

[zinc sand]

There are no current bonuses for SL command following huh?

[tacit sorrel]

You can ping objectives without being SL as well

[hearty flame]

that could be moved to the call-in menu now that angel isnt planned to have it

[tacit sorrel]

Oh they removing that from angel?

[zinc sand]

Before, you'd get extra points for doing x while on a SL called out objective, I don't think I've seen that in 2042

[hearty flame]

for the s3 class rework i believe ya

[tacit sorrel]

It makes more sense for the call in menu tbh

Wonder what angel will get in return

[zinc sand]

A great tagline post round?

[hearty flame]

Hes getting whatever the medic class is getting

dunno havent really read into it

[tacit sphinx]

i don’t think they’re removing specialist gadgets for that change

[tacit sorrel]

That was apart of his specialist kit tho

[tacit sphinx]

just restricting the free gadget slots and changing some stuff around

though i assume some specialists will get some sort of rework so they fit into that system a bit better

[tacit sorrel]

They should still add a supply drop imo

[arctic grove]

support should be the only one to be able to do that.

Or at least Crawford since his passive ability is to resupply gadget ammo

[tacit sorrel]

Everyone can call in a ranger and vehicles why not supplies

[gloomy wyvern]

Like the SOFLAM actually being of fucking use and painting a laser target on vehicles for smart ammunitions to track...aka anti stealth chopper

And it being locked to Lis

[slate meadow]

omg first time since season 2 has launched ive felt well enough to play i hope the waits been worth it

[minor ferry]

you got to be kidding me

the submit button is not working

[gloomy wyvern]

Not, season 0 was great, season 1 was good, season 2 is 💩

[minor ferry]

I can preview but I can't submit bugs

[arctic grove]

Bro i could easily leak your BoinlyBans

[arctic grove]

[slate meadow]

are you the guy who starte dthe fappaning XD

[tacit sorrel]

Lis rocket should have unguided hipfire

[tacit sphinx]

no reason to ping me for your complaints

[arctic grove]

True

[tacit sphinx]

and lis’ rocket is manually guided that’s the whole point

why would she be the only one who has the soflam

[arctic grove]

Allowing lis to not only have a manual guide rocket but to soflam when aiming would be crazy

[tacit sphinx]

at that point make a specialist whose deal is the soflam

[arctic grove]

Plus ppl do use the soflam

[slate meadow]

soflam is crap

[arctic grove]

Soflam go hard

[slate meadow]

its to slow

[arctic grove]

🤨

[tacit sphinx]

i use it in my recon/sniper setup

[uncut bay]

soflam is amazing and helpful to the entire team, people don't use it enough

[slate meadow]

i used to run it all the time

[tacit sphinx]

good for spotting my own targets and to paint enemy vehicles

[arctic grove]

Soflam plus Rao and ur squad with rockets

[slate meadow]

but nobody ever ran rpg along side it

yeah good luck getting people with rockets

[arctic grove]

U can just go in the lfg dude

[uncut bay]

every other person has a recoilless lmao it's just that they don't bother shooting at painted targets

[tacit sphinx]

plenty of people run rockets? and the point of that was that you’d be in a premade squad lol

[arctic grove]

This tbh

[edgy oriole]

or

every other person doesnt have the m5

[arctic grove]

Wish we got a stutter remix in 2042

[edgy oriole]

bc they using c5 or ammo for themselves

[uncut bay]

scavenging works for most guns and c5 is situational

a lot of people run m5 because it's super versatile and punishes ground vehicles

[arctic grove]

C5 is very situational

But I rock wit either spawn becon soflam or that

[slate meadow]

wish we got rush in aow!

[tacit sphinx]

there’s also team chat where you can go “hey i’m running soflam if you take a rocket launcher you can take down some air vehicles” and someone will probably take notice

[edgy oriole]

since launch im still waiting for my whole team to carry m5 like ive been hearing. ig im just getting bad teammate rolls

[slate meadow]

rush = best game mode

[tacit sphinx]

we did lol

[uncut bay]

i use either c5 or ammo box but that's because i main lis and can't have m5, otherwise it's usually the m5

[arctic grove]

Ur late

[tacit sphinx]

it’s a permanently available mode

[slate meadow]

wait what 😮

[arctic grove]

Yes

Now we hope we get grand operations in 2042💀

[slate meadow]

i havent played sine the last day of s1 because of covid

[bronze ibex]

I miss these^

[royal swan]

Got the red weight charm, looks decent, but I'm more interested in the shipping container

[tacit sphinx]

they added it… literally that day actually since the patch came out on the last day lol

[hearty flame]

it better be the bf1 version and not Vs

[arctic grove]

We would need a lot more maps

[minor ferry]

Do you guys remember that the APS36 could intercept the tank shells?

[tacit sphinx]

breakthrough is more or less just operations but on a single map

[hearty flame]

true true. maybe they could throw in portal maps but who knows with dice

[arctic grove]

True but grand operations felt

Idk better

[onyx vault]

Breakthrough could use some alternate formats for each map.

[slate meadow]

What day did the update launch was it Tuesday or Wednesday for us in the EU ?

[tacit sphinx]

it was also just called operations in bf1, grand ops is a pretty different mode

[tacit sphinx]

tuesday

[arctic grove]

So Ig we want operations in general

[tacit sphinx]

yeah this would be cool ngl

[next onyx]

Grand ops was more of a moshpit if anything.

[hearty flame]

if dice really wants to add in lore and story to 2042, 1 style grand operations would be perfect for it

[next onyx]

But I did like its unique stance on frontlines.

[tacit sorrel]

Problem with the soflam when I use it is nobody fires rockets lol

[next onyx]

And I love the tie dialogue.

You know.

"We know you are tired but please finish this"

[hearty flame]

like squad map layers. but i dont think 2042 maps are big enough for that

[next onyx]

"This is all you'll need to do and you'll be good"

[edgy oriole]

then you rage in chat saying "fuck this imma swiitch to something else and play the game" THEN people wanna be like "nah bro i switched" "nah bro ive been trying"

[arctic grove]

💀

Fr fr

[next onyx]

There was some dude giving me shit for not taking down the hind when I was in the wildcat like dude, I'm using the 40MM I don't see you trying to help.

[arctic grove]

If only DICE put more effort in their lore like they do in their game.

[arctic grove]

They are just on stuff that should’ve been good at day 1

[tacit sorrel]

Idk if majority of the community knows recoiless can lock on with something marked by soflam

[royal swan]

Still could take it down with the 40mm, I took one down, pretty easy

[next onyx]

Yeah I don't have my head wrapped around its velocity.

[onyx vault]

I think Breakthrough is, especially since it is just 64 now. You could definitely have overlap. Hell, even basically reversing the flow would be SOMETHING.

[next onyx]

And even so if I get a bunch of good shots I run out of ammo.

[minor ferry]

What does this mean?

[royal swan]

What about the rockets

You got aa or at

[next onyx]

Err AA rockets?

I use AT.

[arctic grove]

no wonder lmao

[minor ferry]

I didn't see any "Highlighted errors"

[hearty flame]

could do multiple directions, side to side, top bottom, diagonals but Im not sure if dice had that kinda map flow in mind

[tacit sorrel]

The noise is annoying while you ads a normal gun lol

[royal swan]

Wildcat AT strat kinda died when they nerfed the wildcat so it dies in three shots from tank

[tacit sorrel]

Atleast it’s AA is better

[royal swan]

The AA wildcat is better

Long range on rockets

[tacit sorrel]

You can rapid fire heatseekers now

[royal swan]

Yes

[next onyx]

57MM might as well be the play.

Or the 30MM guns.

[arctic grove]

I mostoh made my wildcat anti infantry

*mostly

Ig no need to now that the ram exisits

[slate meadow]

https://prnt.sc/9qAo1VcpK6R9

just to prove i havent played since the last day of s1 xD

so i cant even play s2 now i feel better straight away 😦

[tacit sorrel]

I use the 2nd or 3rd main cannon and just keep the heatseekers

[slate meadow]

a 7 minute wait 😦

wait no a 2 minute wait

[royal swan]

Should the jets hold both aa rockets and at rockets (the ones that lock on). I feel like the jets could hold more as it's underused

[tacit sorrel]

Jets almost seem pointless after playing bf3/4 jets

[royal swan]

Jets are only good if your team can't do jack shit against enemy air

Transport helis are easy targets, stealth helis are weak

[slate meadow]

stealth helic are annoying

[royal swan]

They are weak now

[slate meadow]

oh they nerfed them?

[royal swan]

One rocket from lis can one shot it

[cosmic sequoia]

More attack choppers! Jets in their own category!

Stealth choppers do what they should now, which is be stealthy

[slate meadow]

my issue was when they went and sat at 3miles above and point and just dropped bombs and you could never lock onto them

[jovial quest]

Me reading this channel

[tacit sorrel]

I love how wildcat can just nuke stuff after you make air flare

[cosmic sequoia]

I was in the Apache/hokum yesterday and a few stealth choppers ran up on me and I just swatted them down like flies

Felt good man

[royal swan]

Yeah but with the list rocket you can predict their movement and kick their ass out of the sky

[edgy oriole]

i havent seen helos do this too much recently but ive seen a couple

shit sucks

[cosmic sequoia]

Needs to be more per map

[edgy oriole]

cant lock on or shoot at them either.

[cosmic sequoia]

And jets need their own section

[slate meadow]

im terrible with liz rocket cant control it with my mouse well atall

[edgy oriole]

they were suppose to give jets their own cat. but ig it was either a rumor or they still working on stuff

[hearty flame]

i dont think it was ever confirmed but dice says theyre looking at things for balance so who knows later on

[slate meadow]

to be fair they do need there own cat for sure

put the bolt back into the light vehicles aswell xD

[tacit sorrel]

Yea but then nobody will use the other light

[onyx vault]

Bolte would need a nerf if it moved to light again, that thing was rough in that category.

[tacit sorrel]

It’s really not light

[slate meadow]

yeah but its abit under powered in the heavy cat

[onyx vault]

It is a waste where it is now, no doubt

[next onyx]

Eh fuck the Bolte.

Can't say I miss it.

[slate meadow]

the fact you can ping somebody out of it through its window makes it not a heavy realyl

[tacit sorrel]

I still see it tho

[onyx vault]

I see a bolte every like 20 matches.

[slate meadow]

i see it every now and again but it doesnt dominate the BF like it did

[hard bone]

Hello

[onyx vault]

it certainly shouldn't dominate, but it should at least make sense for the category.

it's too light for heavy, and too heavy for light

if it stays heavy, it needs bulletproof glass

[minor ferry]

has anyone tried that, if a soflam painted target hide behind cover, will the new ECBA's anti tank missile lock it on?

[tacit sorrel]

Maybe they should have a medium cat

[edgy oriole]

I dont think there is any medium armour in the game

theyd have to buff bolte hp for it to become medium

[onyx vault]

I feel like 90% of boltes die to sniping driver

[tacit sorrel]

Or just make another cat it doesn’t have to be medium

[onyx vault]

not even armor issues

It's the only one in that category that has glass you can shoot through.

[tacit sorrel]

Bolte and Mav or something

[onyx vault]

MAV needs a buff to be an actual carrier and not a deathtrap if it gets with 10 feet of an enemy.

[simple reef]

Translation: Every land vehicle needs a buff.

[onyx vault]

Except wildcat.

and probably Ram.

Recon needs better physics, Ram shouldn't full outrun and outturn it.

[simple reef]

RAM is terrible lol.

[onyx vault]

When the driver is an idiot.

[late scarab]

How do I unlock the M16A3 on BF2042?

[noble moth]

Best m5a3 setup?

[simple reef]

So... every driver in BF 2042 ever?

[tacit sorrel]

Read the text in weapon collection

[next onyx]

All tanks need is a turret traversal buff.

They just get that and they're good.

[onyx vault]

I don't think that's enough, they're just too killable.

[next onyx]

That and changes to their shells.

The wildcat is fine as a support vehicle.

[late scarab]

How do I unlock the M16A3 on BF2042?

[tacit sorrel]

I think the class restrictions will help vehicles

[next onyx]

A tank isn't so easily killable when they can actually aim side to side faster.

It will.

100 scar kills. 30 gl kills. @late scarab

[wide shore]

I think it’s 100 SFAR kills and 30 underbarrel grenade kills. You can do them in bot lobbies if you want.

[next onyx]

Err. Sfar m.

[onyx vault]

It's less killable, but still too easily killable. Mobility is like 90% of survivability for ground vehicles in this game.

[late scarab]

Ahh I see thanks folks!

[dapper river]

BF3/4 turn speed where it's based on raw mouse input

(at least I think it was idk, it's been a minute and I wasn't a big tank player in those games)

[next onyx]

If I had to go further I'd improve their acceleration and adjust mpat to actually be good.

Yeah that was fucked uber.

[onyx vault]

The Tank and MAV have giant mobility issues, and balancing it with armor is really tough.

[next onyx]

I remember that.

Gimme bf5 turret traversal speeds which were fast.

[wide shore]

Haha My Lis rocket goes shoooooooshh

[onyx vault]

Best way to beat a TGM is moving behind obstacle, no?

Or shooting it, of course.

[wide shore]

I’m on the home stretch with her T1. Less than 100 to go

[next onyx]

Eh there's little defence from lis.

[tacit sorrel]

Lis rockets feel underwhelming I can just use recoiless with double the ammo

[wide shore]

Sure, if the driver knows the rocket is coming.

[next onyx]

Hmg helps.

[dapper river]

Does Irish's shootdown sentinel not shoot down TGMs?

[next onyx]

Passenger hmg.

Uh not sure.

[wide shore]

Never tried it tbh

[next onyx]

I know they deflect laser guideds.

[simple reef]

I fucking hope it does.

TGM's are fucking annoying.

May as well be a heat-seeking missile.

[wide shore]

They should let Irish put his APS on top of tanks

[onyx vault]

APS should be sticky, def

[wide shore]

It is not that accurate.

[royal swan]

Trying predicting their movement, try to go in front of them.

[onyx vault]

TGM is not overpowered, but it is annoying.

[simple reef]

It's a quite obvious exaggeration.

[simple reef]

Hmm. I dunno.

[wide shore]

I have more luck shooting down helicopters with a dumb fire M5

[simple reef]

I just think it's cheap. It's for people who don't know how to take out vehicles.

And just can't be bothered to learn.

[dapper river]

I've stat as an AA towards the back of the map, like the vermin I am, and threw down a couple shootdown sentries, neither of which seemed to stop the barrage of Lis missiles and I had to shoot them down manually. Maybe it's because I was occupying a vehicle which causes your sentries to go offline? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[onyx vault]

Compared to what?

C5?

[simple reef]

To literally anything. C5 is easy to use.

[visual horizon]

i've think i've finally found my rhythm in this game, i just went 22-1

[onyx vault]

C5 is "cheaper" than TGM

[simple reef]

Just people can't be bothered.

Not really.

[wide shore]

I had the M5 Recoilless T1 before Lis even came out. So

[onyx vault]

Oh please, I'm not arguing with you.

[next onyx]

C5 you actually have to get close.

[simple reef]

^

[next onyx]

The throw distance is annoying but it's a close range explosive.

[hollow fossil]

Whys the m16a3 so weird to use

[simple reef]

I'm not arguing with you at all. You're just sort of wrong lol.

[next onyx]

Same vain as sticky TNT from bf5.

[tacit sorrel]

Recoilless>Lis Rocket

[visual horizon]

i just unlocked the AEK, what dafuq?! that's a new gun, didn't see it

[next onyx]

Yeah for portal.

[visual horizon]

mhmm

[edgy oriole]

i cant throw c5 more than 3 feet to save my life. echology told be to just look up and throw but that doesnt help either.

[tacit sorrel]

More ammo=more destruction

[next onyx]

Try jumping.

[visual horizon]

Where do i use it exactly?

[simple reef]

It's because C5 isn't as good as people think it is, and you'd have to have pretty bad eyesight to let someone casually walk up to you and use it.

[wide shore]

The TGM is easily countered by any skilled pilot. It does less damage than an M5. It’s a pain in the ass to shoot close targets with. It has a long ass recharge. You only can have 2 at a time. And the reload is long as shit. It is farrrrrr from OP

[simple reef]

With Lis' Rockets, you just can't really do anything.

In Land Vehicles, anyway.

[onyx vault]

Agreed.

[tame cobalt]

Unable to load persistence data

[next onyx]

Bad co 2 and bf3 portal. You unlock the bad co 2 variant first. @visual horizon

[visual horizon]

bet

[tacit sorrel]

She needs more ammo

[simple reef]

Nah, apart from EBAA default, there's no land vehicle that has accurate enough shots to shoot down a TGM.

[next onyx]

You unlock bf3 aek by doing assignments in bad co 2 with it.

[tacit sorrel]

And an unguided hipfire

[wide shore]

You make it seem like it’s impossible to long range a tank with an M5

I did it all the time.

[tame cobalt]

needs a self destruct splash damage

[tacit sorrel]

You can snipe with it it’s not like an rpg7

[simple reef]

Not really a fair comparison lol. Can you shoot down M5's?

[onyx vault]

Would love that, but also could end up a problem.

[tame cobalt]

Anyone tried tdm on stranded

[next onyx]

Lis rockets hate sudden movements.

[tame cobalt]

Seems like it could be a fun tdm map

[wide shore]

No. Which is another reason why the TGM isn’t that good.

[next onyx]

If I have the air space I'll flip my heli and head straight down sharply.

[onyx vault]

The whistling also balances the TGM a lot. It tells land vehicles to pop smoke and change position.

[simple reef]

Yeah, it may not be the best anti-vehicle equipment ever, but the fact that a lot of people play Lis makes it a bit hard to deal with when you're dealing with one every 5 seconds.

I mean, if you can do that, cool, I just find it annoying.

[onyx vault]

You don't need to dodge ALL TGMs, you just need to dodge 1, you'll repair before they fire a third.

[wide shore]

Pilots have very little reason to worry about her rockets. One swift movement and boom. It’s gone. And if it’s her second shot, she ain’t shooting for another 40 seconds at least.

[simple reef]

This'd be true if, y'know, the TGM's cooldown accounted for every Lis in the server.

[tame cobalt]

i don't think it'd be a problem, it'd make it useful against annoying pilots while still not doing a ton of damage

[onyx vault]

I'd worry about anti-infantry usage.

And to clarify, I'm not saying "no", I'm just saying I'd be worried about there being an issue.

[wide shore]

Not to mention you can only hit a tank twice, if you can. Then you gotta wait.

If you were running Angel+M5 you could shoot a tank 7 times before Lis could fire a 3rd shot.

[tame cobalt]

if only they could adjust the damage values against infantry and vehicles

[onyx vault]

Undoubtedly an option. Though I feel like it's weird when an explosion harms a vehicle more than infantry.

[simple reef]

I'm the only person to carry a Repair Tool ever.

[tacit sorrel]

Lis needs some kind of buff that’s for sure

[simple reef]

Uhm... I'm good.

Thanks.

[wide shore]

Because it’s function serves very little purpose in the current meta.

[royal swan]

But soon in s3 it will be seen again

[wide shore]

It overheats too fast. Repairs too slow. And replaces a useful gadget.

[simple reef]

I dunno, I like repairing vehicles after they get hit every 2 seconds by a Heli.

[rich flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/omg-wow-really-surprised-feeling-it-gif-15881647

[wide shore]

S3 every engineer will have one. So, we’ll see.

[slate meadow]

Did they nerf the M5 close combat

[wide shore]

I think it got the SMG headshot nerf

[slate meadow]

Its wank now

Getting out gunned by most close range

Why do they keep messing about with guns

[tame cobalt]

Rare 2042 W

[slate meadow]

The M5 close combat was fine it made the gun playable

[tacit sorrel]

Can’t be worse than the am40

[wide shore]

Welcome to battlefield.

Or any FPS that exists

[tame cobalt]

Was it removed?

[onyx vault]

The M5 was always playable.

[simple reef]

You guys think they'll rotate seasons after support gets cut? I have a feeling they will.

[wide shore]

I rarely ever used the M5A3 close combat. I use it short barrel extended standard.

[tacit sorrel]

Maybe or add a way to earn boins

[wide shore]

Not a fan of that gun anyway

[hearty flame]

depends on how much itd cost them

[simple reef]

?

It'd cost them... nothing?

[tacit sorrel]

It wouldn’t cost them anything

[tame cobalt]

[wide shore]

The M16 needs its recoil lowered. It feels so off compared to the rest of the ARs

[hearty flame]

itd cost something and itd be up to dice to foot taht bill and not ea

[simple reef]

Can you not read?

And what would it cost?

The content and seasonal presets are there.

[tame cobalt]

[visual horizon]

probably because they just ported it from BF3 Portal

[hearty flame]

dunno what it would cost but itd be more people working on 2042 and not the next project so itd cost that at least. then add on whatever techy stuff is behind there too

[simple reef]

Not really. EA's other dead projects are run by AI's.

GW2, PvZ: BFN, etc.

[tacit sorrel]

A skeleton crew could do season rotation

[raw moss]

They could always add recoil to all the guns....so that they don't all feel the same because they're all freaking laser beams essentially

I mean the only difference is mag size

Everything feels very very similar

[visual horizon]

recoil is actually decently high, but gamers are just too powerful

[royal swan]

GW2 is still alive I believe

The bfn is not tho

[tame cobalt]

Or they could just add the chauchat

[simple reef]

No it isn't lol. Doesn't get any updates at all.

Town Hall is ran by an AI.

[wide shore]

[visual horizon]

BF1 Portal when?

[simple reef]

Never. 2142 and Hardline would be better.

[royal swan]

I'm getting full servers, what you talking about

[raw moss]

I mean I liked using it 🤣🤷‍♂️👍

[visual horizon]

Hardline would be lit, the money gamemodes too

[simple reef]

When I say 'dead', I mean projects they've officially confirmed are not getting supported by the devs.

[wide shore]

Hardline. Over BF1?!

[onyx vault]

Hardline and 2142 over BF1.

[tacit sorrel]

Keeping the servers up doesn’t mean the game is getting updates

[onyx vault]

It's at least different.

[visual horizon]

yes

[tame cobalt]

they can make a new version of the money gamemode using the hazard zone assets (hard drives instead of cash)

[wide shore]

How is BF1 not different

[visual horizon]

nah, boring, bring back my wonga

my dollar bills

my cash-money

[tame cobalt]

Waffle drives > dollar bills

[hearty flame]

ugh theyve killed the aek in 2042

[next onyx]

MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND.

[hearty flame]

its so...bad

[tame cobalt]

But they won't add new game modes except via shitty portal

[violet meteor]

It was in the dev video

[next onyx]

That's a deposit!

[violet meteor]

Ya gotta watch the videos they send

[next onyx]

That's money in the bank! :o

[wide shore]

It shreds from my experience

[next onyx]

You let those fucks, rob my vault!?

[simple reef]

Portal is better than the base game.

[next onyx]

God that alarm sound from hardline is forever ingrained in my head.

[visual horizon]

instead of displaying 2 gamemodes on Portal and a browser they should have core modes for all eras, alongside user experiences

[simple reef]

Are you deluded?

[hearty flame]

i meant in terms of sound and the reload. cant speak about gameplay

[next onyx]

Someone takes money from your vault and you get the worst sound.

But that makes it all the better when you kill everyone.

[wide shore]

Well, they were never gonna beat BC2 gun sounds.

No game has

[tacit sorrel]

Bf1 was pretty good

[raw moss]

BF1 had the best gun sounds

Considering most were recorded from the real thing

[violet meteor]

Nah. I make the best gun sounds

[tame cobalt]

[raw moss]

[wide shore]

I would implore you to listen to the BC2 F2000 and it’s marvelous reverb.

[onyx vault]

2142 had the realest gun sounds, totally matched the real thing. 100%.

[raw moss]

I have it's alright

[tacit sorrel]

Tankgewehr go boom

[simple reef]

Another milestone.

[raw moss]

This is a subjective argument lol

[raw moss]

The slog that is Casper lol

[simple reef]

I play no one else.

[onyx vault]

I can't even remember what BC2 sounded like at this point, wasn't this like 15 years ago? (edit: apparently 12)

[simple reef]

I have no progress on shit. :(

[wide shore]

Hey look. I love BF1 gun sounds. Especially the medic guns. The Selbstlader 1916 sounded like a fucking cannon going off.

[raw moss]

I really like Casper but I'm working on Palik 🤣

I know I know

Those 8k spots were horrible

[simple reef]

Casper doesn't make me wanna rip my ears out.

[arctic grove]

This dude said palik💀

[simple reef]

Nor does Sundance.

[tacit sorrel]

Most of the t1 skins are meh

[arctic grove]

Irish tier one looks alr

[raw moss]

I see she needed 2 and wanted to flip my table

[turbid lantern]

Dear god, what's up with the team balance

[wide shore]

Sundance makes me wanna dive headfirst into a wall.

[turbid lantern]

[arctic grove]

How

[tacit sorrel]

Red and black is nice camo

[wide shore]

https://tenor.com/view/head-first-break-door-crash-gif-7836525

[grizzled whale]

doesnt really mean much when you sit and wait for assists

[wide shore]

Like this

[arctic grove]

True

[wide shore]

I’m not even close to T1’ing any vehicles.

[onyx vault]

I feel like you have other things going on if Sundance makes you feel that.

[simple reef]

Unfortunately, I don't care about your opinion.

[grizzled whale]

cared enough to reply

[simple reef]

Sundance makes me act in strange ways.

[arctic grove]

I think I’m halfway on tier one for lis

I srsly wish I was better at hitting air vehicles….

[wide shore]

I’m always getting shot in the back by them. And they’re by far the most used specialist.

[simple reef]

What's your absolute closest?

[tacit sorrel]

Do assists count for Lis tiers?

[arctic grove]

Nah

[grizzled whale]

this is a milestone

[simple reef]

Come and farm Repair assists with me sometime. XD

[arctic grove]

Has to be vehicle destroyed not kills @tacit sorrel

[violet meteor]

If you don't care, why is it unfortunate?

[grizzled whale]

this is (almost) a milestone

[simple reef]

The joke >>>>>>>^you^>>>>>>>>

[violet meteor]

Just get in a helicopter with mackay

[wide shore]

I have 152 kills with the Bolte.

[grizzled whale]

all infantry

[violet meteor]

Yeah idk what that is

[simple reef]

Eesh. Why do you never get in vehicles?

[simple reef]

You missed the point. It went over your head.

It's, once again, applicable.

[wide shore]

Not sure if that’s the closest though, cause BF tracker doesn’t count assists. It’s probably the Hind TBH

[violet meteor]

It wasn't a joke lol

[grizzled whale]

from your example, the joke would have hit him

its going straight into him

[wide shore]

I do when I can. But I hardly ever can.

[slate meadow]

Wow just had the most blatant cheater I've come across yet

[grizzled whale]

leave the attempts at humour to the funny people

[simple reef]

Go onto your profile and filter by 'vehicles'. I never use them other than the EBAA.

[arctic grove]

[simple reef]

I've got 428 with the LATV4.

[wide shore]

I’m BF1 I was a menace with the Light Tank.

[tacit sorrel]

I use vehicles because my teammates usually do nothing with them such a waste

[wide shore]

That’s the most vehicle play I ever had

[arctic grove]

I think in bf5 I was the craziest bomber pilot to exist

[simple reef]

I literally just Repair.

[visual horizon]

wtf

[wide shore]

I couldn’t bomb worth a shit.

[arctic grove]

It’s reallllllll easy

[tacit sorrel]

Bombing was so ez

[arctic grove]

Get low drop hot

[wide shore]

The only achievement I’m missing in BFV is the one for bombing and destroying manned stationary guns.

[tacit sorrel]

Long as you picked the better bombers

[arctic grove]

The only time I drop high is if there vehicles

[simple reef]

Achievement hunting in multiplayer games isn't worth it.

Too stressful.

[arctic grove]

Especially cod

[simple reef]

Doesn't stop me, but it's too stressful lol.

[wide shore]

I have all of them in BF3 and BF1

[violet meteor]

That's the boiniest statement I've heard today, and I've only been awake a half hour.

[tacit sorrel]

I have all the multiplayer ones but not single player

Can’t be bothered to replay the campaign over

[simple reef]

I need one more for 2042. This is my first BF on PC, so I'll redo the others once I'm done with this.

I have plats for most on PS.

Other than Hardline.

[wide shore]

I’m missing the hazard zone ones and vehicle T1

[grave vigil]

nice AI farm son

[tacit sorrel]

I haven’t even tried hazard zone yet

[slate meadow]

This new map is anticlimactic

[simple reef]

I did the HZ ones when the game was frequently below 2,000 players on Steam. Shouldn't be too hard. @wide shore

[grizzled whale]

you wish

[slate meadow]

Also what should I do with the M5 now the CC mag is pointless

[wide shore]

I just don’t want to play Hazard Zone. Lol

[simple reef]

I like it.

[simple reef]

You're probably right.

[wide shore]

Extended Mag-short Barrel

LWC grip

[grizzled whale]

incorrect

[simple reef]

Also, how is 'B-Gun's Dry' a rare achievement?

It's... easy.

[tacit sorrel]

What’s that one?

[simple reef]

Do people just not place Sentries as Boris in Conquest?

[grizzled whale]

sentries have become pretty useless

[simple reef]

Deal 3,000 points of Sentry damage with Boris in a single life on an objective.

[wide shore]

You can only get to mastery 12 against bots.

[grizzled whale]

first they nerfed the damage and fire rate, then the health

[tacit sorrel]

Oh I don’t even play Boris

[wide shore]

I did it in a bot lobby on manifest.

[tacit sorrel]

Always been trash imo

[wide shore]

Just lay next to the turret on the hilltop objectives and wait.

It was probably easier to do back then cause the turret wasn’t braindead tho

[tacit sorrel]

After I casually get a vehicle t1 I might go for the rest

[simple reef]

Wheeled Warrior is a bastard of an achievement.

[tacit sorrel]

Atleast you can get a good chunk done in bot lobbies

[simple reef]

Eh, I guess, but the grind to T1 is longer than any other Tier.

[mental delta]

They said in season 1 recap that when they would being up portal weapons to AOW they wouldn't be simple copy paste but whole new weapons

[wide shore]

I did most of mine in there.

[tacit sorrel]

No tiers vs bots would take forever

[grizzled whale]

thats kind of the point

its not something you should be able to do in a couple hours

[simple reef]

Wow, thanks, Captain Obvious.

[grizzled whale]

you really are toxic arent you

[simple reef]

No, he just knows that's the point.

He's just simply stating how it would indeed take forever.

[grizzled whale]

so why didnt you "captain obvious" him

you chose to be toxic to me

[simple reef]

Because it's not obvious. Zombie farms used to be a thing lol.

[grizzled whale]

so when i say it its obvious but when he says it its not

yep, toxic

[simple reef]

Correct. Because what he said wasn't obvious.

[grizzled whale]

i said the same thing

in a different way

block me if you dislike me, but stop being toxic

[last swift]

🍿🥴

[simple reef]

"Man, that'd take forever!"

"Erm, akshually, that's the whole point!" 🤓

[solar tinsel]

Holy shit, I briefly hopped in here yesterday and unless I'm bugging, you two were arguing then. Are you still freaking arguing? 🤣

has this been going on for 24hrs

[grizzled whale]

more toxicity

[simple reef]

That's what you said. It's not toxic.

[grizzled whale]

it is

you said you were smarter than me yesterday, act like it

[simple reef]

I am. You just point out obvious things lol.

That's not really smart.

[grizzled whale]

lol

[calm bison]

Y’all need couples counseling

[last swift]

move on ...

[solar tinsel]

This is something better suited over DM, bicker over there. Literally, two days in a row

[arctic grove]

Serious Question @simple reef : You think Casper's legendary skin should be legendary? The one thats your pfp. It looks like a futuristic Butcher/Cook.

[simple reef]

The only reason it's Legendary is because it was included in the most expensive version of the game.

I like it, though.

[grizzled whale]

Dude needs to get a grip on his emotions, getting toxic over everything i say is gonna lead to discussion

[simple reef]

I use it over his T1.

[arctic grove]

Ok fair

As long as u like it

[split oyster]

Hows the new update

[simple reef]

Alright?

[simple reef]

It's cool.

I also like the Ranger cosmetic you got.

[solar tinsel]

I'm enjoying it! While we still have less content than the old DLC model, it's more content than Season 1

[arctic grove]

Ranger? Poor doggo has no skins after 2 seasons

[solar tinsel]

yeah that kinda surprised me

[simple reef]

I wish we could give him decals and customisations.

[arctic grove]

Same tbh

[solar tinsel]

consiering MTX you think EA/DICE would be all over that

[simple reef]

I bet no one uses Ranger, so.

He needs a buff.

[arctic grove]

Future ranger variations in 2042

Dear god

A ranger strapped with C5

[simple reef]

A healing one would be cool.

[arctic grove]

I’ll take 5 chainsaw roombas

[simple reef]

One that disperses dosages of Falck's shit.

[arctic grove]

True

[jovial quest]

[violet meteor]

Then they said in the dev update for season 2 they wouldn't be doing that. You should watch and read the LATEST news.

[slate meadow]

Borris needs a buff if I'm honest

[solar tinsel]

You could strap a grenade on it and in the MEC it would be a "Roombala!" (admittedly that may be a deep cut)

[slate meadow]

The borris turret should be able to lock onto drones and pop them out the sky

[arctic grove]

Agreed but noobs and scrubs complained its OP

[solar tinsel]

I never understood that either. I always thought it was fine before

[arctic grove]

Exactly

[slate meadow]

Borris was fine

[edgy oriole]

his turret already sucked before. now it omega sucks

[simple reef]

I think the spotting range was a bit much, I'll be honest, but it was fine otherwise.

[arctic grove]

What if they changed it to a drone yk like the ones in division 2

[solar tinsel]

but, I suppose Im fine with it having less health, as it doesnt seem super sturdy compared to the ranger, so whatever

[arctic grove]

Good thing i grinded boris T1 before the nerf.

[slate meadow]

But alot of Sundance players moaned because it used lock them whilst in wingsuit

[arctic grove]

I prefer the bp skin over tier 1

[edgy oriole]

it took me forever to t1 boris pre nerf. i can only imagine how it is now

[arctic grove]

It looks good

[simple reef]

Sundance, eh?

[mental delta]

They shouldn't have announced it in the season 1 patch notes so

[solar tinsel]

a lot of the specialists IMO could use better progression systems.

Like Sundance should be damage with grenades, Dozier should be melee kills + objective captures/assists, etc.

[arctic grove]

same. The S2 skin makes me feel like a Cod hero shooter. He does look good i admit.

[solar tinsel]

some of the specialist progressions are just too hyper specific and semi-luck based (ie. last hit, etc.)

[simple reef]

They changed the colour of Boris' visor on his best alt.

Looks lame.

[tame cobalt]

stranded good cq64 map

[tame cobalt]

Lis should def be vehicle kills and assists

[half haven]

how do i get in a game ive tried to join one for the past hour and it says "1/128 need more players" like bruh

[solar tinsel]

100% or damage dealt, stuff like that

[tame cobalt]

yes

[solar tinsel]

it just needs to be more granular

same with jets: should include kills, assists

I just hope theyre willing to take a pass at the progression

[violet meteor]

And you should have watched the latest news when it came out back in august

[simple reef]

And Ranger's T1 should be damage-based.

[solar tinsel]

especially for vehicles too: as since there are LESS vehicles and less time you spend in them, their progression is much slower

[wild sapphire]

Did the k30 get a nerf haven’t seen many people using it since the update im gonna try it later today

[solar tinsel]

It did in a previous patch, but also in 2.0, the headshot multiplier for SMGs has been reduced a decent amount

[tame cobalt]

smg headshot reduced?

[dapper river]

K30 kids are busy using the SFAR and its grenade launcher to unlock a mediocre gun, or they're rocking short barrel M5A3

[solar tinsel]

so now SMGs are meant to be that point blank spray and pray shredding, and ARs have had their headshot mult. slightly increased, to reward precision

[frosty mural]

Not a nerf but def can't hit anyone past 30m

[arctic grove]

Meanwhile me as a engineer/support main trying to get the new lmg

[wild sapphire]

That’s good tbh weapons need more balance it was all about Rate of fire for a while

[turbid lantern]

Who the hell thought that the TDM spawn work like that, you litterly will get spawnkilled before you spawn somehow. Well done

[silk jasper]

omg going back and listening to bf1's ost makes me want to cry in comparison to this games music

[solar tinsel]

Yup.

ARs are 2x -> 2.15x
SMGs are 2x -> 1.25x

[dapper river]

I want the damn avancys but it's at 34 and I'm only tier 22-23

[frail sparrow]

Cod vanguard players be like: " first time?"

[wild sapphire]

I also wish more people stayed in lobbies you join a rush game after it ends not enough to start the next round usually lol

[arctic grove]

God damnit

[onyx vault]

same with breakthrough, but the turnover time is awful

[solar tinsel]

Does it have to "load" the whole map again? / Do the whole progression cadence?

[wild sapphire]

I honestly don’t think people know they can stay in a lobby 😂

[solar tinsel]

I havent dont a map repeat since the update

[arctic grove]

They don’t

[onyx vault]

It does the whole progression thing, which takes a while.

[solar tinsel]

too bad, they definitely need to streamline that

[onyx vault]

I've only stayed through on two breakthrough rounds, and it was down to like 10 players

[solar tinsel]

even if it says "next round on defense" at the very end or something

[dapper river]

Breakthrough is the bigger issue because people are so used to being kicked out to the menu after that they do it as a habit.

Plus, switching sides is cool and all but i generally prefer attacking

[solar tinsel]

that is the direction the game has taken though: matchmade lobbies where its one and done, so I get why folks are used to that

It's pretty clear DICE is not going to be adding a server browser to the core /AoW experience either

[onyx vault]

Even if they're aware, you lose what feels like 2 years of your life waiting.

[solar tinsel]

(which, Im honestly fine with more than other folks)

ha right

it'd be cool if they just held progression/EoR cadence off til after both rounds. Even if folks gotta leave, theyll still get their progression

[onyx vault]

yeah, I'd prefer that.

[solar tinsel]

maybe a "Round 1/2" somewhere on the scoreboard

[onyx vault]

I'm glad they made some effort to do this, but it still needs tweaking to be palatable.

[solar tinsel]

for sure - well thats been the story of BF2042. Small steps in the right direction, but always something that needs to be done next

But, to its credit, it has gotten much better

Shame it didn't launch like this, with these extra maps, season battle pass, vault weapons, polish at launch

[dapper river]

DICE dug this hole and they're just digging themselves out ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mental delta]

Not what I said, they should just haven't announced if they didn't plan to finally make it like this, and it also took them 3 months to make simple copy pastes

[wild sapphire]

A simple solution would to just be remove the required amount of players to start have it just be bots until people join. I mean 8-20 players needed to start depending on the mode still gonna have a lot of bots people will join in

[solar tinsel]

100%

[arctic grove]

I hate the baby steps dice is taking tho. Again, For a "All Hands on Deck" its feels too slow

[simple reef]

Because the majority of the team aren't working on this game lol.

[wild sapphire]

Lol

[solar tinsel]

Well, I don't think it's a true all hands on deck, I think it's a normal to large size team FOR Post-launch, but not for pre-launch. Thats my guess anyway

[onyx vault]

I think with maps, they should've made a fast pass to make them more playable before overhauls.

[arctic grove]

Exactly? So it isnt all hands on deck

[solar tinsel]

Dev sizes are very different for games from pre to post

[simple reef]

Yeah, so they're lying to you.

And you know that.

[wild sapphire]

Hey at least we know what we are getting now with 2042 I love me so halo to but they destroyed infinite 🤦‍♂️

[solar tinsel]

I think they have an "all hands on deck" post launch live service crew

[mental delta]

I seriously doubt it's an "all hands on deck" situation, and it's even more surprising if that's really the case

[arctic grove]

RIP Halo

[solar tinsel]

and theyre doing a bang up job, but it's not the same with what you see in prepro and pro

[slate needle]

source: i made it up

mfs will make the most outlandish claims and be Like "It came to me in a dream" ok prophet

[lime torrent]

What setup do you use for svk

[mental delta]

Probably working on the next game or even on another totally different game tbh

[simple reef]

Nah, it's just... pretty obvious.

They've already begun development on the next BF.

They need more people on that than a title that has, for the most part, failed.

[solar tinsel]

Thats the catch 22 though, if they do that, people say "EA/DICE abandoned its playerbase"

its kind of a nowin

[wild sapphire]

It’s gonna be another cash grab imo it’s either gonna be bf3/bf4 combined or remastered or bad company 3. People will get hyped off the name alone

[arctic grove]

They kinda did to a degree. I wouldnt say completely.

[simple reef]

Waiting for someone to reply to me with paragraphs as to why 2042 has somehow 'not failed'.

[wild sapphire]

2042 hasn’t failed as much as Infinite has lol

[solar tinsel]

Well, I do believe they have a full live service post-production crew on the game, so thats not total abandonment - but its not above and beyond with long-term live service in mind

which, I always thought BF2042 was positioned as

[grizzled whale]

it hasnt failed as in it made a profit for EA

[arctic grove]

Bro thats what alot of people expected that of 2042. Even the damn trailer made it seem thay way.

[simple reef]

Uhh.

[mental delta]

Game doesn't get a lot of content anyway, would be a good thing to drop out this game after last season

[arctic grove]

its at the very least fun nowadays

[simple reef]

Electronic Arts held its Q3 2022 earnings call earlier today, which revealed plenty of information on how the company is performing. During the call, EA spoke of Battlefield 2042, a game it admitted to failing to meet the company’s expectations.

Battlefield 2042 launched in November 2021, but upon its launch, issues quickly arose. The game has been criticized for its map design, inaccurate bullet spread, and more. And EA owned up to the negative reactions, sharing that the “ambitious game” suffered from production issues due to COVID-19 lockdowns, which ultimately impacted the final product that shipped to players.

“Developing this game with our teams working from home for nearly two years ultimately proved to be challenging,” EA CEO Andrew Wilson said. “Through our process of testing and preparation, we believed the experience was ready to be put in our players’ hands.”

While the company didn’t share exact numbers for how many copies the game sold, the number was classified as “disappointing”. Despite the game not performing as planned, though, EA’s total revenue was up 7 percent, along with record-breaking net bookings for the company, which may be attributed to the success of other EA titles such as FIFA 22, Apex Legends, and Madden NFL 22.

EA will continue to update Battlefield 2042 over the coming months, but the first season of live service content is being pushed back so further work can be done to improve its experience.

[arctic grove]

just needs more secondarys

[solar tinsel]

I disagree, I think the game has gotten better each season and I'm glad it is getting improved upon. But I also don't think they should stretch beyond Season 4 either.

[keen loom]

Holy essay

[simple reef]

It's a copy-paste. Essays are also way longer, so.

[keen loom]

[solar tinsel]

Then again, a lot of this comes down to what the new leadership (Zampella, Coutaz) decides to do with the franchise

[simple reef]

Proven Wrong > Respond with meme.

Good on ya'. Now fuck off lol.

[mental delta]

Yeah I agree with this, game has gotten a way better since launch and thanks to the two new seasons and especially new content, but they should just leave it after season 4 though to me

[solar tinsel]

I'm inclined to agree, yeah, after S4

[arctic grove]

sore winner

[slate needle]

mfs sit all day in the battlefield discord talking bout THIS GAME IS ASS AND DEAD ok bro please go do something else

go find a hobby

[simple reef]

It will be left after Season 4.

[solar tinsel]

start focus on making a BF game the right way, from scratch, with time to let it develop properly

[grizzled whale]

what did you prove wrong

they made a profit, just not as much as they hoped for

[simple reef]

The fact that the game is deemed a success by EA lol.

[wild sapphire]

I think season 4 will be the last season and they will give us the rest of the content then or after season 4 they will just have a random content drop off a while after 4

[keen loom]

[simple reef]

Where does it say that?

[grizzled whale]

where does it say that it didnt

[solar tinsel]

even if it means you leave BF2042 as the current BF game for some time, at least if it has four good seasons of content, at least it will be tolerable

[arctic grove]

i wonder if pepe is canon in bf

I have another theory. DICE will continue a few seasons more until the next bf game is released to keep the fan base busy with something.

[mental delta]

Next game could be a way more appreciated if they just get rid of specialists and if the game has at least 10 maps at launch and more than 22 weapons lol

[simple reef]

If you find the sales of your game "disappointing", it's pretty obvious.

[solar tinsel]

I think thats the play/hope

[grizzled whale]

disappointing =/= not a profit

[solar tinsel]

BF has sometimes released tiny little content drops way late too, so we could see a random map port or more vault weapons trickle a bit even after S4... but nothing major probably

[arctic grove]

Will definitely please the community and might bring some back

[simple reef]

If it doesn't make a profit, it's disappointing. If it makes a substantial profit, it isn't.

You don't work in marketing. Why are you acting like you do?

[arctic grove]

new vegas was shitty at launch and its argueably the best fallout game

[solar tinsel]

I really just want BF2 or BF2142 remade with modern FPS mechanics to be honest 😆

[mental delta]

I don't see them doing that but it could still be a possibility, they would have to put some people still working on game's new content though and idk if that would be worth it

[grizzled whale]

stop being so toxic towards everything i say bro

its getting old

[arctic grove]

i just want another ghost recon thats not bullshit

[solar tinsel]

and a pass at the maps to make them more suitable for modern games

[grizzled whale]

They made a profit, just not as much as they hoped, aka disappointing

[simple reef]

Maybe just don't be wrong about everything, you backseat marketing specialist.

[simple reef]

But... it doesn't say that.

[slate needle]

this mf real up in arms over his marketing

[grizzled whale]

but... it doesnt say that they didnt

[arctic grove]

💀

[slate needle]

bro is the marketing monarch

[arctic grove]

This is true. We will have to wait and see.

[slate needle]

the marketing monitor

[hexed mango]

[simple reef]

Since I work in a job that correlates with marketing, I'd agree.

[arctic grove]

"you dont have a degree in marketing? you cant have an assumption or opinion on this specific thing"

[hexed mango]

quandale dingle here

[mental delta]

I guess so, will be playing new AC game after season 4 and until BF6 comes out

[simple reef]

No, you can, just don't act like you actually know what you're talking about.

Because you don't.

[arctic grove]

ill be playing something in the meantime as well

[grizzled whale]

Get off your high horse

[simple reef]

I'm alright, thanks.

[low timber]

Why are there so many dicks playing this game? Had a defender camping the ship with ammo spamming the LVG grenades on the first sector.

[grizzled whale]

My assumption is just as valid as yours while theres no real statement

[arctic grove]

because people dont like fun

[simple reef]

It's easssyyyyyy.

[low timber]

And the M16 launcher has almost no gravity ether

[dapper river]

What do those even do? are they stupid broken?

[arctic grove]

Same

[simple reef]

Have fun waiting.

[arctic grove]

wildlands was near perfect

[simple reef]

Anything Ubishit make is dog these days.

[arctic grove]

Wildlands was funny becuase of the funny stereotypes

IHATEMEDIALUNAIHATEMEDIALUNAIHATEMEDIALUNA

[dapper river]

true, and it's only gonna get worse

[raw moss]

I guess the M16 Grenade launcher won't get shot by Irish's gadget

Great testing Dice!

[arctic grove]

what stereotypes?

[slate needle]

forget ghost recon we need a return to true tradition

splinter cell my beloved

pleas.e..

[arctic grove]

Ubi/Activison/343: We are living in sad times for games.

[uncut bay]

delayed by a whole season btw

[dapper river]

Colombian stereotypes?

[solar tinsel]

I'll also throw out a totally 100% wild and insane alternate universe: DICE decides to ***NOT ***make a new BF game, and essentially do a full "2.0" on 2042, but fully pivot to a class system, and just use existing specialist skins as cosmetic choices for a "create your own soldier" system.

The specialist gadgets and perks become selectable gadgets and perks based on your class

Then, just add a crap ton of content and build upon the 2042 content base, and treat it as a proper live service

[simple reef]

Activision are balling lmfao.

[tame cobalt]

Dice

[fiery dawn]

that thing is so broken xD

[low timber]

LVG is just supposed to be a hand Frey shot from a launcher, but here it has double or triple the splash radius, damage and can bypass the APS, also explodes on proximity and has almost no bullet drop at all. Oh yeah, and you can carry 5 of those while normal 2042 grenade launchers only carry 3

[simple reef]

They're laughing their way to the bank with pre-orders from MW2.

[arctic grove]

i think because its such old tech (the launcher) that it cant detect it with it being used to more modern grenades

[arctic grove]

Don’t give me hope

[arctic grove]

Their spanish accents and how they are all cartels. Even the guy on the radio that talks.

[fiery dawn]

it’s so broken xD

[dapper river]

holy shit Alex bruh what are u doin?

[raw moss]

At least you got Michael Ironside voicing Sam Fisher in Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint

[arctic grove]

That one is obvious lmao but true

[low timber]

LVG should be vaulted ASAP, just like Dozer shield and Motion sensor at launch and the frag rounds on SPAS-12 shotgun.

[solar tinsel]

To be honest, I wouldnt mind that either, because of how 2042 is improving. And keep in mind, Zampella was a driving factor of Apex so I think he understands the value of building a base

[fiery dawn]

I watched Stodeh’s YT video about the LVG last night it’s so crazy

[arctic grove]

the cartel literally originated in latino countries of course they employ latin people

[dapper river]

true..

[arctic grove]

Although I don’t mind specialists I’d like 2042 a lot more if it was my choice to play the RU/US ai models, they look cool as hell and I don’t mind sacrificing a specialist gadget for 2 gadget slots, or even just 1

[simple reef]

Man, I've just had a realisation: This game is gonna be the next Hardline. No one's gonna play it when the next BF drops.

[arctic grove]

true

[dapper river]

I've wanted this since launch. They get all the cool uniforms

[arctic grove]

have you completed the game

[low timber]

Those LVGs are worse than BF3 mortar, as that didn’t have a massive blast and needed spotting

[raw moss]

There's more people playing BFV and 4 then 2042.

So it's technically already at that point

[solar tinsel]

I think the ultimate solution that makes both players happy and EA happy (by making money) is a class sytem where you can customize your own solider for each slot (8 slots, 1 for each class per faction)

And sell everything from skins to faces to accessories, etc.

[arctic grove]

At least Hardline had all battlefield core gameplay and mechanics and alot of content.

[arctic grove]

They could at least sell them to us like they did with realistic WW2 uniforms in BFV

[solar tinsel]

You get to be whatever solider you want, and thats a MTX path for EA

[dapper river]

If you look closely you'll notice the RU soldier has the BF2042 hud on their visor, but in orange

[simple reef]

Yeah, but I mean, like... worse than what it is now.

Like, almost 0.
