[grand prism]

@west raft don't expect me to sleep because i ate spicy food

[hexed mango]

true but it looks weird

[upper socket]

Oof

[bronze stirrup]

Boris players are the bane of my existence

[grand prism]

That GOOD SPICY KEEPS ME AWAKE

[grand prism]

I stopped using boris

Lol

[bronze stirrup]

I can have a good streak until I see one of those damn turrets

[hexed mango]

my turret just disintegrated

[grand prism]

After getting him T1

[upper socket]

Hiw, turret are so weak

[bronze stirrup]

Just the fact that they spot you throws me off

[arctic grove]

huh, check that out

[bronze stirrup]

Too much shit spots you in this game 💀

[grand prism]

Man i want to party up

[hexed mango]

bro why does it do this

[arctic grove]

the struggle of trying to pull out the turret when its still on cd

[grand prism]

That's because some1 one tapped it with the NTW

[west raft]

I miss og spotting even tho noone did it

[bronze stirrup]

Now its all passive and hard to even tell when you are or aren't spotted

[grand prism]

@hexed mango you wanna squad up

[hexed mango]

!!lfg but sure

[desert torrent]

Got some good clips killing devs today

[grand prism]

Aight bet lol

[arctic grove]

howd u get in cgames with devs

[bronze stirrup]

I killed a couple with the lvg earlier

[desert torrent]

Friday night battlefield

[hexed mango]

BuyBoins ign

[grand prism]

Ok

[desert torrent]

They suck at their own game

[bronze stirrup]

Just keep spamming lvgs at devs until hotfix

[west raft]

People are allowed to suck at games

[grand prism]

Sent it

[grand prism]

Oh noooo

[desert torrent]

I was running the am40 with suppressor and subsonic ammo

Slaysssss

[bronze stirrup]

I've exclusively been using the gl tonight

Its just too ridiculous

[arctic grove]

sigma chad

[west raft]

Crazy that rn subsonic can get more kills per mag than standard on the AM40

[bronze stirrup]

once you have the false centering down it just deletes

[desert torrent]

It really is great ammo

[bronze stirrup]

have gotten kills at like 180m with it

[west raft]

Doesn't that put it at like 10 firepower tho

Cus I thought subsonic and suppressor were both -5 firepower on it

[bronze stirrup]

Idk if subsonic has a rof change or not

[desert torrent]

It’s fine cuz they can’t see where the shots are coming from

[bronze stirrup]

but yeah people do not expect sneaky setups

considering how much recon info this game just gives for free

[desert torrent]

I almost feel bad for slaying devs

Jk I don’t they deserve it

[bronze stirrup]

i dont

fix my m16 please

make it useable while you kill the lvg

[arctic grove]

[west raft]

Remove Sfar from the game

[arctic grove]

no

the sfar is god

[desert torrent]

Am40 better

[bronze stirrup]

Just make the other ARs competitive with the sfar

The sfar doesn't need a nerf

[arctic grove]

am40 is pretty good, but ive already switched back to the SFAR for that clean control

im using the m16 atm

[desert torrent]

They should buff other weapons to the level of the sfar and am40

[bronze stirrup]

ideally a sig spear should be amazing at range in reality

[arctic grove]

m16 just doesnt need random hrec, give it a controllable vertical value with a tiny bit of hrec and we're good

[bronze stirrup]

but in 2042 its a cqb weapon lol

[arctic grove]

well actually iirc the m16 has normal vrec but hrec is cursed

ar15 platform

[bronze stirrup]

m16 is launch recoil so yeah its random hrec

[west raft]

I read this as big spear and thought you'd gone nutters

We've got the crossbow that's enough

[bronze stirrup]

SIG SPEAR is designed for high velocity and medium to long range engagements given experiences from battles in the middle east

It makes no sense that it only performs well in cqb

video game lol

[desert torrent]

Why’s chat so dead tonight

It’s Friday

[arctic grove]

everyones busy playing 2042

[hexed mango]

how is chat dead?

[arctic grove]

[desert torrent]

It’s usually more….fights?

Lol

[bronze stirrup]

people are actually playing

[edgy oriole]

bruh seeing the hit reg of the enemies. now i see what im doing all this time.

did you see my teleport clip echo?

[hexed mango]

nah

[desert torrent]

Like ur ui colors. Dark orange is my neutral color

And team is more greenish

[bronze stirrup]

hey but now we have both the parent platforms of the m5 in aow

[desert torrent]

Otherwise purple is the way to go

[bronze stirrup]

SCAR and m4 platform

[night vessel]

longest take down ever

🤣

[hexed mango]

fr

but cool, except for clipping but whatever

[hexed mango]

nice

[desert torrent]

Takedowns are too long

[hexed mango]

yeah i didnt love the green color for squad, so i use purple and a more vibrant red and green

[keen loom]

[fiery solar]

running smooth

[desert torrent]

Not worth doing them If you gotta wait 4 seconds lol

[bronze stirrup]

If we're going for compressed burst weapons like the an94 i want a G36 too

[fiery solar]

doesnt the enemy color you choose light up everything that is from the enemy team that color

like the lights on them

[edgy oriole]

yes

[bronze stirrup]

I didn't know that

[fiery solar]

make it white

[bronze stirrup]

I'm changing mine to something easier than orange lmao

[edgy oriole]

green for ez in daylight and yellow for manifest only

[bronze stirrup]

green would confuse me

[wide shore]

AN94>Everything else

[bronze stirrup]

can see pink anywhere tho

[fiery solar]

mine rn is light pink

[edgy oriole]

green and yellow are the easiest colors to register for your eyes.

[bronze stirrup]

G36 short burst would be amazing too

Especially if we're going for near future vibe on weapons

[desert torrent]

Really any color to cut the neutral palette of 2042 works

[fiery solar]

white so you see it everywhere

[desert torrent]

Console can’t adjust opacity unfortunately

[bronze stirrup]

pink is still close enough on that side of the spectrum to make sense in my brain as a hostile color

[fiery solar]

yeah fuck pink

thats why

[bronze stirrup]

its close enough to red but brighter

yellow is a lot more of an objective or neutral color

Id use it for like hitmarkers

[fiery solar]

i think its better than the light blue default

for the little bottom notifications

[bronze stirrup]

I go with green

[fiery solar]

like xp and objective captured

[bronze stirrup]

yeah neutral stuff

[bitter skiff]

Fuscia

[bronze stirrup]

my hitmarkers are red and yellow

[bitter skiff]

Burnt Sienna

[desert torrent]

Just fuck with yourself and make the enemy team blue and your team red

[bronze stirrup]

Lol

I still get confused playing planetside seeing blue hostiles on map

[arctic grove]

Planetside on Console when?

[bronze stirrup]

Blue has the worst guns tho

Is it not on console already?

ik its on ps4

[arctic grove]

not xbox

[bronze stirrup]

oh oof

they just added naval stuff

[fiery solar]

if the rapid dominance bundle is hourglass i hope thats what theyre gonna turn the map into in season 3

[arctic grove]

planetside 2 was mad fun but it made my PS4 mega loud so i quit playing it cause i started getting worried about wether or not it'd overheat or something

[bronze stirrup]

It's underrated tbh

[hexed mango]

PF51 is so good

[bronze stirrup]

Just yeah doesn't always run well

for a free game though it's more of a real game than most in that category

imagine buying the game before it went f2p

couldn't be me

[fiery solar]

imagine spending hundreds of dollars on bundles for a game just for the devs to delete all that content to make room for more content

[open terrace]

anyone looking to play?

[edgy oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/sweating-nervous-paranoid-gif-4974019

[arctic grove]

Destiny 2 moment

[bronze stirrup]

i legit have a physical copy of ps2

and destiny 2

[fiery solar]

destiny 2 reference

i bought destiny 2 digital and couldnt get on my xbox a year later

[arctic grove]

Yup. Not sure how they run out of space if it was all from online.

[fiery solar]

and wonderful xbox wouldnt let me play the game on any other account even on the same console

[arctic grove]

Xbox moment

[fiery solar]

they had to delete content so the story would make sense

just make another sequel at that point

[bronze stirrup]

people who play planetside 2 now dont even know physical copies existed

[arctic grove]

Im sorry but Destiny lore is ass. Lazy writing. It has alot of potential but bungie didnt think it through

[bronze stirrup]

unless you live in aus

[fiery solar]

their marketing is "this is never before seen in the history of destiny"

[bronze stirrup]

I thought destiny writing was getting better but this year has been kinda aids

[arctic grove]

Exactly

after the 1st dlc dropped i finished and completely dropped the game.

[bronze stirrup]

I've kept up with it a little here or there but every season this year has just been dumb

[hexed mango]

[bronze stirrup]

Last year was their peak and they still were fumbling with s15

[hexed mango]

[arctic grove]

Mood

[next onyx]

@hexed mango Main it and hate life.

[hexed mango]

its so fun

[bronze stirrup]

can it equip a laser sight?

[hexed mango]

ye

[bronze stirrup]

ez

hipfire hose

[next onyx]

Did I show you I have this.

@hexed mango

[hexed mango]

nice

[bronze stirrup]

I need it

[next onyx]

It's a fun gun but I have a small problem with it.

[hexed mango]

ima get T1 Am40 and T1 P50

[next onyx]

It kind of outclasses every pistol.

[cosmic sequoia]

more attack choppers, jets in their own category, pls origin gods

[hexed mango]

good

[next onyx]

Not really. They need to increase the swap time to it, lower its rof a tad or improve the others a bit.

[open tangle]

He’s doing it again

[hexed mango]

i'd make the others a tad better, obviously the p50 is op, but like its fun

[next onyx]

I'm starting to hate the fact that the scar is the best gun due to zero competition.

[hexed mango]

avancys

[next onyx]

Oh yeah it's fun as hell.

[fiery dawn]

I really want to put attachments on my Pocket P90 but the unlock bug is keeping me from using the attachments I should’ve unlocked already

[next onyx]

Don't think the avancys is a good point of reference based off what I've heard.

[fiery dawn]

Way do you feel like the Scar got broken somehow in the updates?

It feels like the TTK is all of a sudden a lot lower

[solid torrent]

Yes it sucks

[fiery dawn]

It feels insane now all of a sudden. My friend said the same thing and I’ve been hearing some other people say that.

[next onyx]

Yeah the headshot multiplier feels like I'm getting headshot bodyshotted.

[arctic grove]

the headshots do more damage iirc

[hexed mango]

low ttk is nicer ngl

[arctic grove]

so its been killing pretty quickly lately

[fiery dawn]

Ok but without even landing headshots it kills faster now

[next onyx]

I can't say I agree on a gun like that.

[fiery dawn]

it beams

out of nowhere

[next onyx]

Uh.

It's always been a 4hk.

[solid torrent]

How’s the new assault weapon?

[fiery dawn]

the ROF feels higher though

[next onyx]

The am40?

It's ok.

A good alternative over the m5.

[fiery dawn]

idk maybe i’m tripping but it feels like it just broke with the most recent updates

[hexed mango]

am40? its aight, be better when it gets its buff/fix

[solid torrent]

Yes

[next onyx]

M16a3 is pretty fun.

[fiery dawn]

Scar was always good but it feels god-tier now for some reason

[next onyx]

Lvg is fucking broken.

[fiery dawn]

maybe the recoil is lower? idk

[solid torrent]

The gun kick to the moon

[fiery dawn]

oh yeah I got 5 kills with one LVG round earlier xD

[keen loom]

[next onyx]

It disregards aps.

[hexed mango]

ye i saw lol

[fiery dawn]

Probably gonna wait for AM40 to get buffed before I T1 it

[next onyx]

It's ironic. I think submachine guns are fine but assault rifles feel like they suck more than anything.

Balance wise.

[fiery dawn]

AM40 has too much recoil and sucks at range

[next onyx]

High powered extended and tactical compensator beams.

[arctic grove]

ive always played with a higher FOV and the warhawk comp, so its always had really low perceived recoil. TTK has been consistent tho, but yeah its quicker now if you get headshots

[fiery dawn]

I take back what I said before @bronze steeple Played with AM40 a lot more today and I decided I don’t like it

[next onyx]

Ironically I can control the gun when it has more recoil in it.

[hexed mango]

i think ARs across the board (maybe not sfar) should get a velo buff

[desert torrent]

Wait

[hexed mango]

so they pack more of a punch compared to SMGs

[fiery dawn]

On the Scar? that’s what I use yeah

[desert torrent]

How can you tell if a dev killed you

[hexed mango]

if they have a dev tag

[desert torrent]

Oh, guess I didn’t see it

Or they didn’t kill me

[next onyx]

Ak24 should get a 25M 4hk with standard rounds and 50m 4hk with high powered. Literally this would be a brilliant bit of competition.

@fiery dawn the am40.

[desert torrent]

[fiery dawn]

oh yeah that’s also what I use with AM40

[next onyx]

I did notice by the way.

[arctic grove]

Is the Andrew tate guy good

[desert torrent]

Subsonic rounds are nice

[fiery dawn]

I pretty much use Tac Compensator and BCG Light Grip on almost all my weapons lul

[hexed mango]

is the compensator really good? seems like its stats are mid

[next onyx]

The m16a3 we have for our 2042 soldiers and bf3 soldiers are technically different weapons.

Crawford is alright.

[arctic grove]

they fr just made Andrew Tate 💀💀💀

[next onyx]

The compensator to be fair i just put on there because I like the increased accuracy.

It feels like it helps.

Especially with a laser sight.

[solid torrent]

It suck in 2042

[fiery dawn]

The minigun is kinda fun to use but I usually never sit still so it’s counter-intuitive for me to play that character. I think that can be said for anyone who would usually play Mackay

[next onyx]

Its ok. I just use the flash suppressor with m320 lvg and a kobra.

[arctic grove]

he looks nothing like andrew tate, although i used to say that, he doesnt, its just the beard and sunglasses

[fiery dawn]

and bald head

but yeah

it’s just for the memes

[next onyx]

I killed another crawford with a minigun.

[fiery dawn]

because Tate is so “talked-about” right now

[hexed mango]

interesting

[next onyx]

While they were on a turret.

[hexed mango]

what would you recommend with drum

[fiery dawn]

Probably still laser sight but idk about the barrel

[next onyx]

Laser, wrapped suppressor or tactical compensator.

[bronze stirrup]

Its the sunglasses bald head and that hes british

[next onyx]

Both you can't go wrong with.

[fiery dawn]

oh yeah the accent too

[next onyx]

When you go to high powered mode you go to lwg light grip.

[fiery dawn]

Ik the drum mags increase the fire rate but do they also increase recoil in turn? or not really

[bronze stirrup]

I wanna say dice was just out of touch and didn't notice the similarities designing him lol

[next onyx]

I don't think they ever knew that he existed.

Nobody did.

[bronze stirrup]

Tbh

just twitter rats

[next onyx]

He only popped up in the past few weeks.

[arctic grove]

Why is every new gun they release always overpowered?

[next onyx]

But hey I think it's dying down now.

Think that's an easy answer.

[hard bone]

Everyone sleep

[arctic grove]

They’re kinda the main part of his look tho

The sunglasses bald head and beard

[bronze stirrup]

accent

[arctic grove]

And DICE releases a skin with those exact same thing right after he gets banned

There’s no way it was an accident 😂

it is a bit weird how he was designed for sure

[bronze stirrup]

They probably didnt know who he is and crawford was designed before all the twitter drama

Way's explanation makes sense

[arctic grove]

Out of every possible thing? G

It ends up being a bald British bloke who wears sunglasses, has a beard, and looks really similar?

They could have designed a new specialist in an infinite number of ways but it ends up looking like him

[bronze stirrup]

Like Way said he's only been relevant for about a month at most

they could've started on crawford as soon as they put out s1

[arctic grove]

Nah I bet someone in the design team came up with it as joke

[hexed mango]

ah yes i love it when i spawn on A1 but end up in RU spawn

[bronze stirrup]

Its not uncommon for dice to be out of touch

[arctic grove]

Spawns in battlefield games are always munted

[bronze stirrup]

so dunno if they did it intentionally

[fiery dawn]

Tate has definitely been relevant for a good bit longer than a month

He didn’t blow up completely until recently though

[arctic grove]

Yeah

I reckon it was intentional

[bronze stirrup]

Well yeah that's what I meant

[arctic grove]

Odds of it not being are so slim

[fiery dawn]

spawns r so good mmm

[next onyx]

They have these specialists in pre production before launch too.

[bronze stirrup]

^

My guess

[next onyx]

Lis was already in that when the game came out.

[bronze stirrup]

They probably had crawford in mind when they were finishing S1

[next onyx]

She was going to be much different by the way. You could load different ammo types.

[arctic grove]

all of the planned season specialists were more than likely thought up only so long after the game launched

[hardy crow]

Looks like my progression is going backwards on Lis for some reason

[arctic grove]

He was on big brother

[hexed mango]

i think they changed her criteria

[arctic grove]

9mm BLOWS THE LUNG RIGHT OUT THE BODY

[hexed mango]

unless i just dont remember the value

[arctic grove]

politicians moment

[granite island]

Bro how is the sidearm better than ar

15 bullets for ar

[arctic grove]

hey boinbus can u post those pics i sent?

[granite island]

3 bullets for sidearm

[hexed mango]

"placing the massive cannon"

• craw

[hardy crow]

Nope still vehicles destroyed.
I destroyed 5 in the last 2 matches, went to check my progression because I was halfway through 17
Now I'm right at 16

[arctic grove]

It’s cuz the gun balance is munted

It’s not realistic at all

[hexed mango]

[arctic grove]

And the only semi realistic thing is by cranking the damage up so high everything one shots

[bronze stirrup]

5.56 creates foot sized exit wounds apparently.

[arctic grove]

Which is also ridiculous

thanks

[granite island]

Please add +dmg attachments dice

[arctic grove]

y the holo more zom?

Why is there a random jet in the new map?

It doesn’t make sense for the display to be all set up given it looked like it was being shipped

[hexed mango]

its an arms display

thats what the map is

for selling and buying and trading guns and vehicles, etc

[fiery solar]

i have 69 melee kills and 418 headshot kills

[arctic grove]

mfw

imagine being on the other end of whoever his microphone is transmitting audio to

[arctic grove]

Still doesn’t make sense

It’d get broken during shipping

Strong waves could risk destroying the plane

[hexed mango]

its not supposed to be shipped

[arctic grove]

nah, just take it apart

[hexed mango]

idk if you noticed, the ship is fucking beached

[arctic grove]

Then why is it intact

[hexed mango]

it probably wasnt onboard during transport

[arctic grove]

If it’s meant to be an arms display then why has the whole area gone to shit

[hexed mango]

they brought it there

[arctic grove]

Then how did they get it on???

[hexed mango]

through the door

[arctic grove]

All the cargo crates would prevent getting it in

It just feels like something slapped there without thought

[hexed mango]

i mean thats just what the map is

[arctic grove]

my head is hurting now cause of all of this complex thinking

Which fuckwit would leave a fifth generation stealth fighter just sitting in a boat

tbf in 2042 5th gen isnt like

that rare

[hexed mango]

its not left there

[arctic grove]

Still

[hexed mango]

its on display to be bought...

[arctic grove]

It doesn’t make any sense to leave it there

especially since most countries are switching to 5th gen aircraft anyways

[hexed mango]

to sell it..

[arctic grove]

since we're bringing logic into this

By who? I don’t know if you notified but there’s kinda a war???

[hexed mango]

yeah. that's why.

[arctic grove]

RU

probably

[next onyx]

The whole ship is a giant shop.

[arctic grove]

lol

Stupidest place to put a shop

Beached position, hills surrounding

[hexed mango]

No-Pats probably want it, their powers probably want it for them...

makes sense

[arctic grove]

russia could use F35 tech to make their first VTOL fighter since the Soviet era

[next onyx]

No one would assume a ship would be used for a market.

An abandoned ship.

[arctic grove]

What if they see the fact that there’s a fifth generation fighter just sitting there???

[keen loom]

No-Chads

[arctic grove]

Somebody would start poking around

A couple kids from somewhere nearby would take a look or something and then bam your arms market is done

[next onyx]

Or maybe they did know but because both countries has invested interest it becomes an all out fight.

[hexed mango]

uh.... that's exactly why the US is attacking lmao

[keen loom]

[arctic grove]

Why would the Russians leave an arms market so vulnerable then

[hexed mango]

they didnt

the VOs explain basically all of this

[arctic grove]

they probably didnt even know what was going on until the local rebels told them, as is said in game

[hexed mango]

they're coming in to help this underground market in panama, (local rebels)

cause the US wants their shit back

[arctic grove]

How do some ragtag smugglers get a fucking fighter???

And displays telling stats about it?

they just put it in their backpack

And a rotating display too???

[hexed mango]

stealing it, buying it, cause idk if you know, but the world is falling to shit in lore

[next onyx]

Would be cooler if there were an osprey inside.

[arctic grove]

the stats displayed about the F35 are public information in 2022 anyways

so i mean

Ah yeah, I love just causally stealing a multi million dollar piece of military equipment, then stealing or buying several metres high displays to put up in a ship

[hexed mango]

its all about impressions man

[arctic grove]

they got the moners from selling even more F35s

they got their very first F35 straight from a US airbase

Just some random USAF guy dealing F35’s on the side

they went in GTA style

[hexed mango]

makes sense in lore ngl

[arctic grove]

Given the whole world is falling apart, which dumbass would sell a valuable fighter

[hexed mango]

needs the money

[calm bison]

Uhh

[arctic grove]

no it doesn’t

[hexed mango]

steals from his own country

yeah it does

[pearl surge]

anyone got the Avancys yet?

[arctic grove]

how are they gonna get away with stealing it

[hexed mango]

LMAO

[arctic grove]

you can’t just rock up to a base and drive something away

[hexed mango]

defecting idk

[arctic grove]

[hexed mango]

giving it to Oz

[arctic grove]

nah it makes no sense

[unkempt tartan]

yeeeer

[hexed mango]

i think its plausible

[arctic grove]

you can try and justify it but there’s no way realistically that it could occur

[hexed mango]

i mean it seems very possible in 2042's world

[arctic grove]

A couple hundred rifles? That’s plausible

[pearl surge]

@hexed mango what’s ur origin

[arctic grove]

Hell even a tank or two that gets left behind after a battle

[hexed mango]

why

[arctic grove]

But a fucking fighter? In mint condition? No way in hell

[pearl surge]

so i can add you

read

[arctic grove]

that barely explains anything

And why would you deal arms where the canal used to run????

[calm bison]

Honestly this new map fucks

It’s really good

[next onyx]

They need to re add exodus conquest. I'm getting sick of stranded.

[arctic grove]

There would be so many people trying to get it operational again because of how critical it is

[hexed mango]

so play reg

ez

[arctic grove]

Plus the Panama Canal uses gates

[hexed mango]

Rush has old maps

[next onyx]

Can't.

[arctic grove]

They could just lower and raise the levels

Nobody would let the canal go to shit

[hexed mango]

and they probably got destroyed

[arctic grove]

Too big a price for US strat com and the western world in general

And how is there a boat just sitting there

I get with the water levels disappearing in other maps

[hexed mango]

uh..

[arctic grove]

But they wouldn’t just leave a boat sitting in the middle of the canal

[hexed mango]

you know that stuff has happened in real life?

[desert torrent]

Is there a rotation for these modes that are predictable

Like this week is rush

[hexed mango]

there are boats that have been stranded literally in deserts because of fast eroding water

[arctic grove]

Yeah mate I know shit gets beached all the time but not in Thermidorian of the canal

[hexed mango]

evaporating*

[arctic grove]

Not in the fucking canal though

[hexed mango]

probably wasnt essential at the time

¯_(ツ)_/¯

dude there isnt gonna be an explanation for everything, its just a game

[arctic grove]

One of the biggest shipping routes on earth dries up and nobody cares???

Nah but it makes no sense

[calm bison]

I don’t think this map is set in the Panama Canal

[arctic grove]

It’s just illogical

[hexed mango]

nobody said that....

[rugged drum]

hi

[arctic grove]

gatun lake panama

[hexed mango]

the lake irl is in the canal

or right next to it

[arctic grove]

which im not sure where that is

It’s implied by the fact they can run a whole ass weapons dealing operation where the canal used to be

[rugged drum]

ok

[calm bison]

Gatun Lake (Spanish: Lago Gatún) is a large freshwater artificial lake to the south of Colón, Panama. It forms a major part of the Panama Canal, carrying ships 33 km (21 mi) of their transit across the Isthmus of Panama.

Would you look at that

[arctic grove]

See? No way somebody would just forget about a huge boat stranded in the middle of the canal

The canal is of such importance that they’d have to get it open

[calm bison]

I mean

[arctic grove]

It links the US pacific and Atlantic floats

[calm bison]

It’s kinda hard to open a canal

[arctic grove]

Fleets*

[calm bison]

When there’s no water

[arctic grove]

Yeah, but you wouldn’t let it decay

Till the point there is none

[hexed mango]

again, it probably wasnt essential... plus there are possible reasons for not being able to get it out.

[calm bison]

I feel like you’re missing the point

[hexed mango]

yeah

[arctic grove]

Boats are still just as in use in 2042 as they are in our world

[calm bison]

The canal cannot function

[arctic grove]

There would be a point

[calm bison]

If there is no water

In the canal

[arctic grove]

well how would you prevent it in the context of 2042s story where climate change is making stronger and irregular weather events happen worldwide

[hexed mango]

[arctic grove]

Why did they let it get to that point though

[calm bison]

Why is London 3 feet underwater in 2042

Because it is

[arctic grove]

And it’s not like the water up and left overnight so how is a boat that would be actively moving throughout the canal stuck

[calm bison]

It was most likely a floating store of sorts

I mean looking inside

[hexed mango]

again, its a game anyways... its fictional.

[calm bison]

Especially the F35 display

The ship could’ve been a floating store

[arctic grove]

This brings me back to my point with the display

Why the fuck would they have an F35 in a boat

Sitting there

5th gen stealth fighter abandoned

[calm bison]

Because it’s a black market?

[hardy crow]

The water didn't have to disappear overnight
The boat just got stuck when the water was low and so they couldn't move it

[hexed mango]

yeah i tried explaining it to him

[calm bison]

And these things are obtained illegally?

[hexed mango]

he didnt understand

[arctic grove]

lol this dude

You can’t just up and leave with a F35????

[calm bison]

I mean

[arctic grove]

Nah it doesn’t make sense

[calm bison]

Yeah

[arctic grove]

You can explain it as much as you want but it ain’t logical

[calm bison]

Let’s ignore the 1.1 billion people who can steal one

[hardy crow]

Yeah cuz ships never get stuck in major canals ever

[hexed mango]

lol

[calm bison]

And Yknow the F35 isn’t operated only by the US

[arctic grove]

Yeah, cuz 1.1 billion people can access a fifth generation fighter

[arctic grove]

Yes mate, it’s primarily used by the US and other western nations

[open tangle]

What is m320lvg

[calm bison]

And those western nations

[hexed mango]

this map was foreshadowed by "Canal Blocker" charm

[arctic grove]

Something that costs that much is not something you’d let get lost

[calm bison]

Have collapsed

[open tangle]

I die by it quite a lot

[calm bison]

THE EU DOES NOT EXIST IN 2042

Numerous countries are in ruin

[arctic grove]

And??? It’s not just European countries who have them

[hardy crow]

I mean
The canal blocker was in reference to the Suez Canal blockage incident

[calm bison]

So having a few F35s going missing is not out of the question

[open tangle]

What is the m320lvg I keep getting g killed by it

[hardy crow]

But I guess it could also be foreshadowing for the map

[calm bison]

Never mind the fact that this is an underground organization working with a no-pat king of sorts

[arctic grove]

Nah it’s bulkshit that the governments of the world would let a shipping lane, which would allow their precious resources they’re fighting over so desperately to get through from the Atlantic to the pacific, get closed

And then even more bullshit that a boat gets forgotten

[rugged drum]

hello

[calm bison]

Except it wasn’t forgotten?

If it was

The map wouldn’t exist

[rugged drum]

ok..

[arctic grove]

then why didn’t the owners try and salvage their cargo

[rugged drum]

[hardy crow]

Wasn't forgotten, just abandoned

[next onyx]

Welcome!

[arctic grove]

the crates would’ve been from the ships original voyage

[hardy crow]

They probably didn't have the means to salvage the cargo that was left behind

[arctic grove]

cuz who the fuck would bring thousands of crates full of guns

[calm bison]

Again

This ship

[hexed mango]

says who

[calm bison]

Belong to an underground organization

It is probably one of many

And this one

Just so happened

[rugged drum]

[calm bison]

To get stuck

[arctic grove]

There is not ONE DROP of infrastructure nearby that would allow the mass transportation of cargo crates

Into a ship

[calm bison]

I mean

On the map

[hexed mango]

osprey could carry

[calm bison]

There’s a beached destroyer

[hexed mango]

[arctic grove]

Given how low everyone is on resources there’s far better uses for an osprey than taking thousands of crates to a lake in fucking Panama

[calm bison]

I think the real problem here is that you’re looking into something too hard when it can just be described as PLOT

[hexed mango]

not for an underground organization eeeeezzz

[calm bison]

Like this game has a more cohesive story than the Star Wars sequels

Which isn’t a very high bar

[arctic grove]

So you’re telling me that some scavengers have the capability to steal a F35, thousands of guns, ospreys, take over abandoned boat which is the only possible thing here, load up cargo crates with said weaponry

[hexed mango]

star wars sequels dont exist

[arctic grove]

remove all previous containers

[hexed mango]

there are only 6 trilogy movies

[arctic grove]

Bring in new containers with ospreys while fuel is scarce

[calm bison]

Buddy Oz attacked Exodus with 3 condors

[hexed mango]

exactly

[calm bison]

So I don’t know think you understand how powerful the No-pats can be

[hardy crow]

A trilogy of 6 movies

[hexed mango]

we need to see more of Oz in this game

[vale moat]

Wow plot holes in a battlefield I am shocked

[hexed mango]

2 trilogies

[calm bison]

My biggest problem with the prequels is that they’re really fucking boring

[arctic grove]

But these aren’t no pats

[calm bison]

Except episode 3

[hexed mango]

ep3 is my fav

[arctic grove]

These are smugglers

[hexed mango]

ep1 and 2 are understandably a bit boring, 2 especially

[arctic grove]

Some of them may be no pays

[calm bison]

They are no pats tho

[hexed mango]

but i love 3 so much

[arctic grove]

Pats*

[vale moat]

All the ster wers suck except rouge one and ep 8

[arctic grove]

But if the no pats are so strong then why are they bothering to even fight for the last nations on earth

If they can apparently overpower them with such ease

[calm bison]

Because they’re being driven by an egomaniac?

[hexed mango]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[pearl surge]

i got like 20 kills in one match with the crawdaddy Vulcan

[calm bison]

Not all of them are United

[pearl surge]

dice don’t nerf pls

[hexed mango]

or because they would probably be killed, but again as mav just said, not all are united

[calm bison]

They literally dispel this idea with the intel wars podcast

[arctic grove]

What’s the point of money in this world

[hexed mango]

like Oz is "technically" a No-Pat, but he isnt super allied

[calm bison]

Not every no pat is United

[arctic grove]

As you claim, they can just steal it all

[hexed mango]

yeah

[calm bison]

Most follow Oz with the belief that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel

[vale moat]

Pretty much it gets you things you need to not be dead

[hexed mango]

ye

[calm bison]

When Oz is the light and that light is a freight train

[hexed mango]

we need an Exodus Short Film pt2

[arctic grove]

The nopats just can steal it all though

[hexed mango]

that shit was so good

[calm bison]

Most No-Pats who work to steal this stuff are former military

So they would be capable

[hexed mango]

ye

[calm bison]

The US military was able to steal a whole ass Russian Hind in the past

Yes this is real

[vale moat]

Nopats also fight 64v64 and die 300 times

[arctic grove]

Are you talking about in Chad?

[west raft]

In Libya no less

[calm bison]

Operation Mount Hope III was a top secret clandestine American military operation to capture a crashed Soviet-made Mil Mi-25 "Hind-D" attack helicopter, an export model of the Soviet Mi-24.

[arctic grove]

Or yeah probably Libya, I just remember it being in the Libya/Mail/Chad region

[hexed mango]

bro its gonna be 110F here on monday

[west raft]

The literal Libyan desert and they just tied it to a heli and flew off

[calm bison]

So no pats being able to steal a jet isn’t impossible

[west raft]

Iirc it was during the Libyan Chad war

[arctic grove]

Money has no purpose when they can just nick everytbing apparently

[vale moat]

64v64

Die 300 times

[arctic grove]

If they care so much about no pat lives then why sacrifice so much when they can literally just survive off of selling the ludicrous amounts of military equipment

[vale moat]

Someone’s never been a weapons dealer

[velvet sand]

my am40 progression isn't working : (

[vale moat]

They kill you and take your money

[arctic grove]

I doubt you have been one either?

[west raft]

Doesn't nopat military service usually have sumn to do with gaining citizenship in the country they're fighting for?

[calm bison]

But they don’t care

That is literally the whole point of the game

[west raft]

Like I thought Raos whole thing was that he wanted to gain citizenship for him and his family

[vale moat]

If you sell weapons you can’t defend against you die

-sun tzu

[calm bison]

This whole lore is that the US, Russia, and Oz don’t care about the No-Pats, and they all see them as expendable

https://youtu.be/ehqx3G9rNb8

Just listen to this

And it will clear up some things

[fiery solar]

intel wars was the little stories that were released every day for a week right?

with an image of each map

[arctic grove]

Why do they follow Oz then

If he just exploits them

[next onyx]

They're mercenaries.

[arctic grove]

A billion people and not one realises that he’s not a very nice guy???

[calm bison]

Have you seen 19th century America?

Rockefeller?

Vanderbilt?

Yknow

Some of the shittiest people on earth

[next onyx]

@vale moat Stop trying.

[vale moat]

Arguing about battlefield lore is dumb

[calm bison]

Who exploited people

[vale moat]

Ayy, look, it’s the same thing but different

[arctic grove]

Yeah, but they didn’t have the delusions of grandeur and didn’t steal ridiculous amounts of military equipment

[calm bison]

Basically the story of 2042 is that the world fell apart, then the US and Russia went to war because the worlds most powerful capitalist made them

[wanton badge]

To be fair it wouldn’t be much of a story if everyone was mates

[arctic grove]

Oz’s goal is to destroy the two super powers which makes fuck all sense cuz then what

[calm bison]

Desperate times call for desperate measures

Let’s see the national tragedies

Global Blackout

[arctic grove]

After youve destroyed the last bastions of civilisation do you just float around on your little flotilla of stolen navy vessels till you die

[calm bison]

2nd Great Depression

40+ Failed States

Rising Sea Levels

Idk about you

But if someone told me that there was a way to fix this

I’d be on board

And this wouldn’t be the first time in history this has happened

[arctic grove]

Yeah but their way of fixing it is just fighting the last coherent nations??

[calm bison]

You know him

You love him

[Austrian Painter]

[wanton badge]

All great tyrants have delusions of world dominance.

[calm bison]

Look

[arctic grove]

The painter at least had a state that he was trying to make powerful at the expense of literally everyone else on earth

[west raft]

Desperation has made better men do worse things

[calm bison]

When people are desperate

[iron socket]

Rising sea levels yet all of battlefields maps are drained

[arctic grove]

Nomads don’t even have that

[calm bison]

They will do anything to get back to living life normally

That includes stealing and killing

If it means the world can go back to normal

[arctic grove]

But instead of working with the countries that are still somewhat normal, they wage war against them???

[calm bison]

Most of them are being paid off by said coherent countries

It’s the ones under Oz that fight

[arctic grove]

What do they gain by fighting for him though

He just wants to use them

[wanton badge]

Smash em up and consolidate what’s left into mega nations

[arctic grove]

At least under the superpowers you get citizenship

[desert torrent]

Shit

1 point away from p50

[unkempt tartan]

default gunner or minigun for tank gunner?

[arctic grove]

Like the normal HMG?

[unkempt tartan]

yeah

jw

[arctic grove]

I always run the HMG instead of the mini gun cause it’s spread is bad

[unkempt tartan]

i had minigun

ah

what about for EBLC

[arctic grove]

Mini gun is very good if you’re dealing with stuff that’s closer to the tank though

[unkempt tartan]

the secondary

LMG or HMG?

[arctic grove]

I generally use HMG

[unkempt tartan]

yeah this is usually how i run it i go up front more of a support role

[arctic grove]

Experiment and use both cause that’s how ya get a feel for what you want personally

[unkempt tartan]

copy

im loving the EBLC

shits sick with the beacon

[arctic grove]

Same, I got into a game with a guy that had the 60mm flak on it and got like 40 kills with it

[unkempt tartan]

can be a turning point in a game

fuck lol

[arctic grove]

Recorded the entire thing too most fun I had in a while that entire game, was almost crying laughing cause of how broken it was

[unkempt tartan]

long way to go for that damn lmg

the new 1

eh it has its pros and cons

[fallen gate]

Does anyone else get a directx error when playing 2042?

[unkempt tartan]

the EBLC

no

restart pc maybe

[fallen gate]

I have done literally almost everything and I crash every game

[unkempt tartan]

hm

[fallen gate]

I have many times

[unkempt tartan]

what graphics setting you running

[fallen gate]

it says something about a pipeline error

[fallen gate]

ultra

[unkempt tartan]

turn it down maybe

[fallen gate]

It runs pretty good though at 134FPS when I can actually play

[unkempt tartan]

hm idk then

whats ya gpu

to run at that

[fallen gate]

RTX 3080

[unkempt tartan]

im jelly

[fallen gate]

CPU - i9 12900kf
GPU - RTX 3080
RAM - 32GB DDR5 6000MHz
SSD - 4TB NVME Samsung 970 Pro

[hardy crow]

Honestly if they gave Dozer a shield bash dash w/ cooldown that could be a cool way to buff him

[next onyx]

Yeah ultra is gonna suck down your resources massively.

I'm running on a 3080.

Run everything on high and see how much of a boost that gives you.

[fallen gate]

Alright I will give it a try. Thank you!

[next onyx]

No worries. Wish I had a CPU like that damn haha.

I love my 5600x but damn.

[unkempt tartan]

lol same

with my 3700x

and 2070super

[bronze stirrup]

I really do not understand how defense loses on the new map

Like some people just shouldn't be playing this mode if they're losing objectives within 60 sec of eachother lmao

[fallen gate]

after lowering my graphic settings I still get the directx error

I have even tried verifying files and deleting and redownloading the game

[lone wren]

Low is where it's at

[fallen gate]

There is no way lol I am so used to playing Ultra 1440P every game

[lone wren]

People I know that play 2042 play on low

[arctic grove]

i finally have acquired AM40 T1

[lone wren]

Nice

[random iron]

nice

[fallen gate]

Does anyone else here get a directx error?

[random iron]

Yeah i had that issue today with RTX 3080 while streaming, i had to restart my pc

[fallen gate]

I have tried that and for days now I have been getting this.

[random iron]

Maybe try a clean install of the latest driver, boot in safe mode, use DDU and then reinstall

[fallen gate]

I did 😦

I am pretty sure I have gone through like every guide out there

[lone wren]

Is ya graphics set to low

[fallen gate]

I have tried that, yes.

[random iron]

DLSS on?

[fallen gate]

I have tried on and off and both get the same error

[random iron]

When it happen tp me, i got two errors directx and obs gave me nvenc error while i was playing and streaming

[fiery solar]

whats the issue

[random iron]

DirectX issue

[fallen gate]

I get a directx error everytime I try to play

[fiery solar]

if theres a performance issue out there with my luck ive been through it

whats it look like

[fallen gate]

I have pretty good specs though.

[random iron]

a window pops up saying theres error with directx

[fallen gate]

Can i send you a photo

[fiery solar]

oh i had that before

[fiery solar]

sure

[random iron]

I dont know, have you file ea support ticket it, i know ea support can be useless at times. maybe someone can catalogue it and send it straight to the devs

[fiery solar]

dont remember how i fixed it i think i just clean installed and downgraded my drivers till it worked

[fallen gate]

I submitted a ticket like last year and they still have not looked at it but that was for Apex lol

[fallen gate]

im just going to try deleting again and see what happens even though i did a few weeks ago

[fiery solar]

i forgot ea has apex

[random iron]

Yeah file a support ticket, you could try reach the community team on twitter but i have never be able to reach them

[fallen gate]

Welp I am going to delete the game and reinstall before I try that

[random iron]

Good luck man, i wish i could help you

[fallen gate]

It says 14 minutes until its finished downloading

[fallen gate]

Thank you!

[keen loom]

[bronze stirrup]

Idk if i just got used to it but the m16 feels controllable suddenly

[silver lantern]

Skill issue

[bronze stirrup]

if they hotfixed the recoil they didnt fix the lvg lol

[hexed mango]

using vertical grip?

[bronze stirrup]

yeah but even then it feels less random but coulda been good rng lol

Was beaming people that last game though

[hexed mango]

interesting

[pearl surge]

2 kills to k30 drum

[hexed mango]

im already at the point in crawford's mastery 3 days into the season, as i was after the entire S1 of playing lis (i didnt main her, but still)

I genuinely enjoy crawford lol

[solar tinsel]

I do too! I haven't played a whole bunch of him yet, but it's nice to see stationary weapons FINALLY added into 2042

[hexed mango]

[solar tinsel]

Even though they should have always been there IMO, but better late than never I suppose

[hexed mango]

fr. plus i can revive people. nice.

his passive might need a tiny buff, its a bit minimal, but hes still fun

[pearl surge]

@hexed mango the crawcannon is busted on stranded bt

[hexed mango]

yes

[pearl surge]

Stranded BT=crawcannon farm

[hexed mango]

ive been playing stranded bt nonstop

[solar tinsel]

yup, a very nice defensive-oriented medic, compared to falck which likely can be argued is more offensive

[hexed mango]

indeed

[pearl surge]

finally got the attachments for k30

[open tangle]

The default magazine size of the 40am is ridiculously small.

[next onyx]

I'm actually looking forward more to the Orbital rework than renewals.

Gimme Renewal and Orbital 24/7.

[granite island]

Cna they make the rocket boom on orbital

Boom even bigger

In the rework

[hexed mango]

yeah renewal looking a tad lame, but orbital looking 🔥

[next onyx]

Yeah and I like renewal.

As weird as it sounds.

Maybe this game has lowered my expectations on what's good and bad.

[granite island]

Please dice

Buff c5

That all I ask for

Buff explosion range

And throw range

[hexed mango]

it already throws pretty far

[granite island]

No it doesn't

[random iron]

I trying to get T1 for lis

[next lynx]

Have they said they are buffing m16a3 (improved recoil)?

[hexed mango]

not really

[granite island]

Whenever you try to throw up towards something

[random iron]

Half of my ATGM shots just dont register

[hexed mango]

just use vertical grip and dont use heavy barrel

[granite island]

It's like a brick

And let me activate the c5 faster

You're throwing it with one hand

Not 2

[willow sky]

does anyone else feel like the ak24 underperformes compared to the other ARs?

[hexed mango]

yeah

its how its been for a while

[willow sky]

been trying to use it, and man...its my worst TTK gun yet

[random iron]

yea took me a while to get to t1 lol

it needs a buff

i think the scar is best

[bronze stirrup]

imagine if my teams could even make it inside in stranded bt

[frail sparrow]

or you just have shit expectations ;D

honestly renewal is fun

it has some good areas to fight in

[golden dagger]

why this dum dum poo poo dm me a "twitch" clip

the name of the clip has a bunch of symbols

[hexed mango]

true, but i feel it is one of the 2042 "open and large" maps. i enjoy it but i think it could use work

[golden dagger]

is it a grabber?

[golden dagger]

or scam?

[hexed mango]

is it the xQc link?
