battlefield-2042

[next onyx]

No idea why that's a thing.

Oh yeah it's really weird too how in portal you can lock on really quickly.

And increase the speed massively with beam scanner.

[calm bison]

Guys I keep playing stranded 24/7 but all I get is stranded

[minor ferry]

besides, the EBCL attacks from above, which means you don't need to look the other way

[calm bison]

They should put more maps in rotation

/s

[next onyx]

Wait I'm sorry, EBCL?

[minor ferry]

the new vehicle whatever its name is

[next onyx]

We'll get a Renewal and Stranded playlist for sure.

OH the C RAM.

The staghound.

[minor ferry]

I ll just call it RAM for now

[next onyx]

It's just a staghound a hundred years in the future!

Which is actually kinda cool.

[minor ferry]

Anyway if the bug is fixed, with a teammate using soflam, you can pretty much fire any painted target

[next onyx]

Might be too easily abusable.

I have no idea why it has AT and AA rockets on its second station.

[minor ferry]

as long as the cover they are behind isn't too high

I am referring to that AT and AA station

[radiant prism]

Lmao I was scrolling through BFV clips and found this edit I made way back in the day

[next onyx]

Yeah I get it.

Actually that reminds me.

You may as well use AT rockets against soflammed air targets because Laser designated rockets do way more damage than AA rockets.

[grizzled whale]

Eww

[next onyx]

For obvious reasons.

[grizzled whale]

BFv

[minor ferry]

the bug
it won't let you fire anything soflamed

[grizzled whale]

https://tenor.com/view/exorcism-father-mulvehill-evil-z-is-for-zombies-get-out-evil-spirit-gif-22407195

[next onyx]

Holy shit.

[minor ferry]

I mentioned it above

[next onyx]

Oh yeah but that's just assuming the bug is fixed.

[minor ferry]

Assuming DICE know the bug

[next onyx]

Sorry if it seemed like I ignored what you said.

Yeah.

[minor ferry]

I tried submitting bugs but I failed at some HTML test

[west raft]

"Tenno Heika Banzai!"

[radiant prism]

Good times

@west raft ^^

[minor ferry]

anyone tell me which channel I can post pics?

[next onyx]

Just Dm the pics.

We have art cinematics but that's for well... Art.

[west raft]

I haven't done a bayonet charge in BFV yet

[minor ferry]

I can't post it here

wont let me

[next onyx]

Because of perms. Dm me the pics.

I can post them for you.

[minor ferry]

I don't know about other vehicle lock-on weapons, but I know for sure M5 can't do this

[next onyx]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1016027319523082280/1016027397679755315/JJZB8439VAFLM296L1.png

That is indeed weird.

Maybe because it uses a different system?

[west raft]

Oh wait you said it's just the EBLC ye?

[next onyx]

I know the reason why the LVG isn't blocked by Irish's APS is because they never thought about it.

[west raft]

Doesn't the EBLC fire a top down ordinance from the third seat?

[minor ferry]

it use the similar method of a javelin

ye

top down style

[west raft]

Maybe it's sumn weird to do with that

[minor ferry]

that's why I tell my mates to see if this can lock on to targets behind cover

[hexed mango]

it’s also like not in the seat at all… the camera is outside the vehicle , so that might make more sense

[minor ferry]

And the bug is that it cannot fire on soflam painted targets

I tried to fire AT missile at soflam-painted aircraft

but the case is the same

you can hear the rocket being fired, but you can't see any rocket

[west raft]

You mean AA?

[thorny orchid]

anybody get the recoil screen shake bug?

[minor ferry]

AT

at soflam-painted aircraft

[silk surge]

Why is it that when I get a billion revives, the top revive in that game ends up having a gazillion and I end up in top 2? Happens almost every game where I play medic.

[thorny orchid]

because they are competing with u for #1

they can see on the scoreboard so they try to get more than u

i do the same

[silk surge]

There are so many games where I end up at top 2 as medic.

[silk surge]

Ah that kinda makes sense.

[vocal adder]

Best squad needs to come back

[silk surge]

Instead of the screen displaying your squad, there should be a top squad instead. I have no idea why they got rid of that feature.

[west raft]

It makes even less sense as a missing feature when you do consider the fact this game was just supposed to be HZ

[silk surge]

I remember there was this game in BFV where I somehow managed to get solo top squad, and I had like 3 people DM me and calling me a cheater. That was my peak.

[rich hatch]

The ''Avancys'' gun real name is FN EVOLYS With a 5.56 calibre. Made by fn herstal company and maked on SCAR base. PF51 real name is P50 made by Kel-Tec company

[tardy tree]

did they remove the tornado from Kaleidoscope?

[silk surge]

Avancys sounds way cooler tbh.

[silk surge]

No.

[tardy tree]

huh

[next onyx]

The Evoloys can stock up on 7.62 as well.

[tardy tree]

thats strange

the past like 5 matches ive played on that map there was none

[next onyx]

It being an FN product that makes a lot of sense it shares the same stock as the SCAR.

[silk surge]

I recently came from a game where my entire squad got sucked in from the roof of Sector A.

[tardy tree]

oh dear god

[west raft]

Rip

[silk surge]

We lost the objective because of that

[tardy tree]

the nado is the biggest enemy on the battlefield

[minor ferry]

do you guys think that it is reasonable that the EBLC's ADS can block MBT's cannon while Irish's ADS can't?

[tardy tree]

i wish it destroyed more of the environment

its kinda lackluster

[west raft]

Yes

[silk surge]

To be fair, we were camping the elevators with Crawford's machine gun, so we kinda deserved it.

[tardy tree]

oh damn yes you did

[crude light]

Yoo

[dapper river]

Just call it APS, we already have an acronym for ADS

[minor ferry]

fine, APS

[calm bison]

Why the fuck does the game search for a match when you’re doing a bot game in order to not have a completely stock AM40

[tropic granite]

h

[thorny orchid]

because its booting up the server

[tropic granite]

it is booting up the server

[sudden matrix]

It's always fun taking 2-3 minutes to join a completed round NGL.

[tropic granite]

where tf do you live?

[minor ferry]

up until last year at least that I can see APS36 shooting down MBT fires at a relatively high possibility
but a video in May tells the story otherwise

[tropic granite]

for me it takes like 15 seconds

[silk surge]

You playing from the moon?

[west raft]

Only mfer on the antarctic servers

[sudden matrix]

Mid west, I'm exaggerating on the time to load. At most it's a minute or minute and a half

[tropic granite]

oh ok

Bro i thought you lived on some deserted island in the pacifc

[minor ferry]

also, the APS36 cannot block the bombing of the stealth helicopter, so is the APS on the EBLC, but it seems that the bombing does 0 damage if the APS on the vehicle is activated

[sudden matrix]

I do wish they expanded on the story ngl, anyone know any like channels that at least make stuff up?

[silk surge]

I always instaqueue into lobbies, but sometimes it takes a while for the game to start.

[minor ferry]

test a lot just now

[tropic granite]

Yea same

[silk surge]

My queue timer has never gone past like 20 seconds.

[tropic granite]

IMO 2042 lore is sick

[edgy oriole]

last night i was getting some dead servers, but it was late late.

[sudden matrix]

I'm just stuck loading into the lobby's, but over half the time there's less then 50 spawns left for either side

[west raft]

Gn gamers

[silk surge]

It's the first game where I always keep up to date on what's happening lore-wise. I read every article, every playercard etc. I love 2042 lore, but I wish it was more prevalent in the actual game.

[radiant prism]

Gn king 👑

[sudden matrix]

Nite my guy

[sudden matrix]

Yeah, I just wish they had something like a dedicated YouTube channel that would at the very least expand upon it

[tropic granite]

Its like one of 3 battlefield games where I think a campaign should have been expanded on

[sudden matrix]

Doesn't even have to be canon, the world's just so flipping interesting

[tropic granite]

exactly

What does kinda annoy me is the fact that nothing in the game involves China

[silk surge]

What I love about 2042 lore is how realistic that future actually is. The world collapsing because of climate change, people becoming non-patriated as their homes have been destroyed, the only stable nations remaining are the global superpowers which uses non patriated mercenaries to achieve their goals. This could actually happen in real life.

[tropic granite]

But im pretty sure thats to avoid the CCP from getting mad abt it

[tropic granite]

Exactly

[silk surge]

China is probably under water in 2042 lore.

[tropic granite]

3 gorges dam maybe

[silk surge]

I loved how the Lis article was heavily redacted in Season 1, and in Season 2 it became unredacted which revealed that it mentioned the Dark Market and Lis's involvement in Black Ridge. That was nicely done.

[sudden matrix]

Hmm, I'm not really familiar with Battlefield 3 lore. At least I think that's what 2042 is expanding on? Is there anything that mentions China in that game? I played a bit and am like half sure some parts of the campaign is in china

[silk surge]

2042 is a direct sequel to BF4 lore-wise.

Not sure if BF3 exists in the same universe.

[sudden matrix]

Ah, so I'm thinking of the wrong one lol

Yeah, I mean BF4 instead of BF3

[minor ferry]

One question that I think worth asking

can javelin in 3 or 4 lock on painted targets behind cover?

[next onyx]

Maybe?

[minor ferry]

I just want to make sure this "lock behind cover" feature is not a bug because honestly its kinda cool

[vocal adder]

Just unlocked the new secondary gun is it any good ?

[minor ferry]

requires much more "tactical gameplay" since now you can see the direction of the soflam locking

[silk surge]

I don't think the javelin was able to lock onto tagged vehicles, I might be misremembering though.

[sudden matrix]

I got to say, I never liked the default settings for anything plane related for PC

[minor ferry]

same thing happened with my "submitting bug" as last night

[plain echo]

Been trying to play bf2042 but it keeps having persistent data issues

[minor ferry]

Can anyone help submit a bug? DM me

I can copy paste the content

[keen loom]

[silk surge]

Btw, just so that ya'll won't be disappointed later on... The class system won't arrive during launch of season 3. It will be somewhere in February next year.

[arctic grove]

damn

oh well

wait doesn't hogwarts legacy release in feb 2023?

[silk surge]

Oh no

[arctic grove]

i'll probably be playing that instead tbh lol

[silk surge]

Hogwarts Legacy will be the true Battlefield killer now smh

[arctic grove]

nah

[silk surge]

DICE's only hope is to have a 2042/Hogwarts Legacy Crossover 😦

[arctic grove]

im looking forward to it but i'll try not to play it non stop

just hoping its as good as its been shown to be

[next onyx]

I'm actually really excited for hogwarts legacy.

[arctic grove]

honestly that would be pretty fun

[next onyx]

But I can't have high hopes.

[willow thicket]

if its anything like the order of the phoenix game, it'll be good

[arctic grove]

yeah im being cautious

burned too many times now

they've delayed a fair bit, so its expected to feel a bit of concern, even if its just so they can have the game 100% ready

[next onyx]

The games industry is doomed in this direction.

[arctic grove]

was annoyed by the collectors edition thing tho, nothing against the devs because their work seems to be great, but the marketing teams and whoever decided that the collectors edition should just be a steel case and a cheap shelf toy are idiots

[vast helm]

Anyone know how to fix the game not launching? (anticheat window loads 100%) then dissapears back to desktop

[arctic grove]

especially for the price

[arctic grove]

Ive just restarted my PC whenever that happens

[tame cobalt]

Manifest still the best cq128 map in the game

[vast helm]

I restarted, reinstalled, updated drivers, tried EA app, origin.... nothing works

[arctic grove]

hmm

[vast helm]

its ridiculous at this point...

I dont know what else i can do

[arctic grove]

I don't really know what to advise tbh, others may have a better idea

[bronze steeple]

[arctic grove]

usually if its an EAC issue it would come up with a message I think, not just exit out back to the desktop with nothing

[sudden matrix]

Did they add 64 player conquest back yet?

[vast helm]

theres no message unfortunately. after EAC window laoding completes it dissapears and brings me back to origin play buttons screen

[shell ermine]

When the fuck we getting a server browser?

[arctic grove]

we aren't apparently

officially they have no plans on introducing a server browser to AOW

[shell ermine]

Well ain't that a turd sandwich

[tame cobalt]

Crawford is the most useless mf in the game

[sudden matrix]

Who?

[tame cobalt]

Boris tier

[jovial quest]

Bruh he is good

[sudden matrix]

The only Specialist I've used extensively is Falk

Though I got to say, theres just something about the way Paik plays on the new map breakthrough mode

[arctic grove]

I don't really understand why he's a support tbh, having the MG turret and being able to revive is a kinda weird combo

[sudden matrix]

I got to like mastery 17 in a day

[small rose]

I haven't really used vehicles since bad company 2, but have vehicle physics just gotten worse since then or just every other games gotten better? Cu damn

[sudden matrix]

I feel like they should of just gave him ammo instead

[arctic grove]

yeah thats what I was thinking

[sudden matrix]

Kinda like angel I think the spec I'm thinking of is?

[sudden matrix]

No clue, got to say though planes suck on MaK

Helis are fun, but the sheer amount of AA sometimes is ridiculous

[arctic grove]

I mean angel fits into a niche, where falk is a pure medic, and crawford could well have been (and really should have been) a pure support, angel can revive and supply ammo so is a good middle ground and gives some flexibility

[shell ermine]

So what have been the major nerfs and buffs between season 1 and 2 launching?

[arctic grove]

Its a 50/50 with most games now, some do vehicle physics well while others do it really badly.

[shell ermine]

Also I've heard the M16 is really poorly implemented and awful to use, true?

[arctic grove]

high damage but high recoil, you effectively have to burst fire to get any use out of it at range

[small rose]

Helis are fun, but feel awkward as hell. Like you tied it to a string and it just swings around from it lmao

[arctic grove]

which makes it kinda obsolete against most of the other ARs

[sudden matrix]

Planes have always been worse

[lime torrent]

yeah the heli physics are absolutely terrible

[sudden matrix]

I do feel like the ars did not need the headshot multi increased though

[tame cobalt]

Remove stranded and crawford from the game

Cuz they're both shit lmao

[small rose]

Planes are pretty awkward. I feel like I could damn near stop in mid air on pretty much any BF

[shell ermine]

So like pretty much every AR?

[arctic grove]

but the underbarrel grenade launcher is broken af atm and needs fixing, most people using the m16 are doing it simply because of the grenade launcher

[sudden matrix]

Using mouse with them sucks ass, to the point I had to physically but a controller just to fly a plane

[arctic grove]

the recoil on the M16 is much much higher than every other AR currently in AOW

it isn't comparable

[minor ferry]

apparently you can lock targets behind cover with javelin

[next onyx]

@minor ferry's image.

[minor ferry]

so it's not a bug

[small rose]

I always swap to controller to fly a plane lmao. You'd think with as long as they've been making bf games, they'd have gotten decent controls by now 🤣

[minor ferry]

just very useful tool

[next onyx]

Just be mindful of the roofs with the javelin.

[arctic grove]

Ive never flown in battlefield because no matter how hard I try I can't get any good at it, ive tried adjusting controls and sensitivity but nah

[next onyx]

I got better over time. But I'd rather still shoot stuff with my gun.

[arctic grove]

quite happy focusing down on pilots tho, I used to love the fliegerfaust in BFV

[minor ferry]

I wouldn't say there are enough roof to be mindful of in 2042

[next onyx]

True!

But it could happen!

[sudden matrix]

I do hate the jets in 2042 though, hit them once and they either speed off after and Regen full or pop flairs and wait for them to regen

[minor ferry]

so basically EBLC already got a Javelin inside of it

[royal osprey]

Are people still getting booted because of EAC?

[shell ermine]

The way jets handle in 2042 is fine, just everything around them sucks.

[next onyx]

The javelin uses laser guided missiles.

[minor ferry]

and a APS36 as well

[shell ermine]

BFV has excellent air to air combat

[next onyx]

That's the general term for it.

[arctic grove]

there was someone in here a few mins ago with issues, unable to launch the game

[sudden matrix]

I do feel like there's some air vehicles that either should not have the repair option

[shell ermine]

I fucking love flying in BFV, especially in the Pacific maps

[minor ferry]

but just the APS on EBLC is a lot powerful than Irish got

[shell ermine]

Before BFV the last BF game that I enjoyed the planes was 1943

[sudden matrix]

Or at the very least make the flair Regen slower on stuff like stealth heli and jet

[royal osprey]

That wouldn't be EAC, the EAC issue boots you to the main menu after 2 or 3 minutes playing.

[arctic grove]

Funny it was the pacific maps that I always had to deal with planes the most, anytime they come in for a strafing run I try and get them with the fliegerfaust

[arctic grove]

oh then this person just isn't able to launch the game at all

[edgy oriole]

i went into solo/coop to mess with settings and it dc'd me

[arctic grove]

he said it gets to 100% on the initial EAC launcher window and then closes to nothing, did a reinstall, driver update, all the usual fixes, but nothing

[edgy oriole]

what server did they put me in

[sudden matrix]

I never liked how you couldn't customize vehicles in BFV till one became available mid round

[royal osprey]

Same result though, the bugs that prevent people playing 2042 have all existed since launch.

[arctic grove]

Ive had issues with launching every so often but a system restart usually fixes it for me

If it doesn't then I just quit for the day and then it magically decides to start working when I next try

[arctic grove]

I never really used vehicles so I never had that issue

but yeah its annoying things like that which take away from an otherwise solid experience

[lunar finch]

Guys...

[misty shadow]

Sup

[lunar finch]

what if i mained the ram

[rich flicker]

[lime torrent]

i mean they're obv so different from reality but yeah

[silk surge]

@shell ermine Btw, are you claiming that BFV is better than 2042 or vise versa in your server name? Because now it says that 2042 is better than BFV.

[shell ermine]

You forget your math symbols?

is greater than, < is less than

">"

[silk surge]

Pretty sure that X>Y means that Y outranks X... right?

[shell ermine]

Wide end is bigger

[silk surge]

Gotcha, nvm then, Im dumb

That's like asking if heroin is worth buying.

[lunar finch]

Yes

Love 2042

[misty shadow]

I like the game

[silk surge]

The answer is no, you'll end up with a crippling Sundance addiction.

[lunar finch]

Sundance is mid covert to mackay

[shell ermine]

The skeleton crew working on the game is basically walking back everything the game launched with

Stupid funny characters, no class system, etc

[silk surge]

Skeletons are cool though

[shell ermine]

Big sticklers are still not having weapons locked to classes and no server browser

[royal osprey]

EAC is better at preventing regular players from playing than it is at preventing cheaters.

[sudden matrix]

I've always just played medic ngl

Though I gotta say, Jumping out of a plane with Sundance is annoying, half the time I end up in a direction I don't want to go at first

[lunar finch]

I dont understand the criticism yall have for this game

[silk surge]

I only play medic because I can camp the elevator with a mounted machine gun while ignoring revive requests.

[lunar finch]

The movement is fun

I like the gunplay

The specialist are cool

I dont see the problem

[misty shadow]

Agree

[sudden matrix]

Lol, imagine that teamed up with 2 irishes sporting the shield and trophy system respectfully and another medic actually reviving

[silk surge]

Shh, the subreddit might dox you now.

[misty shadow]

@silk surge lmao love to see them try

[tame cobalt]

Yooo i just had an idea for a support specialist perk... Automatically pop a smoke when they begin revive

[royal osprey]

Game is fine until you compare it's features to even BF3, let alone BF1 and BF5.
Also tons of game breaking bugs.

There is good stuff in 2042, but it could and more importantly SHOULD be much much better.

[sudden matrix]

The only real problem I have is the fact I actually enjoy flying the helis but everyone and their mother is either Rao and carrys AA rockets

[silk surge]

That's actually not a bad idea.

[tame cobalt]

I think they should give crawford's revive perk to angel and give crawford this one... Or just give angel this one

Just a short duration smoke

[sudden matrix]

I do somewhat like the fact that they have those reflective tags on the specialist though, makes it a bit easier to see through smoke and stuff

[lunar finch]

Ive played bf1, 5, and 4 and idk what this game is missing

Feels great

[misty shadow]

We are missing a campaign

[sudden matrix]

Balance

[tame cobalt]

[royal osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJPzl8U5UDc

Some nice animation things. Fortifications, LEANING, and tons of content since we have a very limited weapons selection compared to other titles.

[sudden matrix]

Isn't the soundtrack not as good as say BF1 and BFV, pretty sure I turned off the music first thing

[tame cobalt]

it's good

[silk surge]

Btw, have you guys noticed that they finally fixed the ADS bug once and for all latest update? I've played with SFAR almost exclusively, and I never get that bug anymore.

[shell ermine]

Storms are such a dumb gimmick like levelution

[tame cobalt]

still got it once

[royal osprey]

Subjective so not really something I would critique.

[sudden matrix]

I'm more upset it's almost all freaking tornados

Not to mention the map poop sucks

[shell ermine]

Only time in the last decade that they added a gimmick that was actually worth a damn was the fortifications in BFV

[sudden matrix]

I still have maps Ive only played like once, like that dry dock in the middle of the jungle with that lighthouse

[royal osprey]

Levelution was cool and inspired, storms are just "tornado throw man".

[arctic grove]

If they actually took the natural disaster thing seriously rather than just putting tornados on every map

[shell ermine]

Levelution was cool on like two maps, Shanghai and... I can't even name a second honestly

[frail sparrow]

cool to watch, but shit to play with

[shell ermine]

They also gave up on levelution in most of the dlc maps, so you know it wasn't good for gameplay

[royal osprey]

Extreme heat/cold wave or flood would be nice.

[visual horizon]

Christmas skins when? I've my tree ready and everything!

[sudden matrix]

I actually find it dead hilarious their idea for the new map was. Not one but two tornadoes!

[arctic grove]

like seriously, theres so many cool things they could do with levelution, like having a map change mid way through due to an earthquake or tectonic plate shift, or perhaps even a water based map with a tsunami threat or something

[shell ermine]

I guess the train on Golumnd counts as levelution. That was fine

[sudden matrix]

Makes it dead annoying when you play breakthrough where it's mostly all inside and you get the bugging out hud

[visual horizon]

i've said this too

[frail sparrow]

plus it meant ZERO destructability on the maps. just look at blowing up buildings in seine crossing vs shanghai. you could drop debris of buildings on your enemies in seine, you can't in shanghai due the levelution shit of the tower (which most servers disabled anyway or you get banned for doing it)

[silk surge]

Jackfrags playing Halo Infinite with a DICE dev 😄 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDTXRsZAxPE

[sudden matrix]

Both battlefield 1 and 5 had better debris

[arctic grove]

I don't see why they won't do it, other than it being more work than they want to commit to the game

[heady loom]

Bf1 debris very noice

[sudden matrix]

I still won't forget I got killed by a dude with a hundred service stars with debris

[lunar finch]

Tbh i dont mind not having any levolution

[minor ferry]

also, from what I just saw, it seems that the javelin with soflam is very effective against flares?
so apparently the javelin can already lock on target behind cover with soflam in 2042

[lunar finch]

It was annoying having 0 cover because some take drove threw a house

[minor ferry]

send these to the wrong channel
again

[sudden matrix]

I do wish they added an option to choose what kill sound/headshot sound you could use from other games

BF1 kill sound hit different ngl

[visual horizon]

performance most likely, but there's nothing to say that they won't add levolution events

[heady loom]

Noice suggestion bf1 op

[arctic grove]

I mean its fine, but they advertised it as a big part of the game, the tornados featured in every promo pretty much and yet they're inconsequential apart from forcing infantry away from certain areas of the map for a short time

portal f18 my beloved

[frail sparrow]

i compared it to 3, cause bfv and bf1 didn't exist when bf4 launched, my dude

[arctic grove]

they should either commit to better levelution or not bother with it at all, not half ass it and call it a day

[sudden matrix]

I played neither of those tbh

[frail sparrow]

that's fine

[arctic grove]

I mean yeah thats valid, 2042 performance hasn't been great in general and they're still trying to optimise

[sudden matrix]

I did play a bit of BF3 when I was really young, got stuck on that winter mission where you got to pass through campfires to stay warm

[quaint wigeon]

avancys is busted lol

[sudden matrix]

I was just young enough I gave up

[real pawn]

Eewww

[arctic grove]

I think it was probably down to technical reasons, they either had to choose 128 players or a variety of more advanced levelution

[real pawn]

Halo infinite

Gross

[quaint wigeon]

another one to get t1 before eventual nerf

[real pawn]

Game is the most biggest downfall I’ve seen

[arctic grove]

I haven't unlocked it yet, what tier is it at on the BP?

[sudden matrix]

Does anyone else stutter in 128 player servers with the drop of the new season?

[quaint wigeon]

34

[arctic grove]

damn, got a long way to go then

[grand prism]

140 kills with Lis

[arctic grove]

im not playing much atm

[grand prism]

260 to go

[still vault]

Performance have never been better for me so no, can't say that I experience that.

[arctic grove]

yeah I gave up playing the new map in conquest because for some reason my PC just can't handle it at all, I get networking issues and stuttering

[royal osprey]

Both 2043 and Infinite compete in that quite well, I am not sure which is worse.

[sudden matrix]

Yeah, and for some reason I can't find 64 player conquest anymore

[edgy oriole]

[quaint wigeon]

wish u could control boris' turret instead of it being enhanced when you're near it

[arctic grove]

they removed the exodus conquest gamemode which was part of the reason I came back

[frail sparrow]

they removed it again. you can only play it in portal if someone hosts a 64 cq server

[real pawn]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 2042 is better halo infinite is a childerns game

[arctic grove]

loved playing on the old maps in AOW rather than having to find a portal server

[real pawn]

Remember when halo used to be rated M

shits dumb

[sudden matrix]

Ah something like a cod kill streak?

[sudden matrix]

So dumb ngl

[quaint wigeon]

yeah but boris turret doesnt have a minigun on it

[royal osprey]

Of all the numerous things you could critique the game for, you choose the least significant one.

[real pawn]

Huh

[sudden matrix]

I just mean proning in a corner, pulling out a tablet and shooting at people

[real pawn]

Infinite canceled couch coop lmaooooooo

Can’t tell me that’s fucking dumb

[quaint wigeon]

actually i guess thats what they did with crawford

[sudden matrix]

Though I got to say, the crossbow is fun just a pain to level up

[real pawn]

They delayed everything till march yea right

💀

[quaint wigeon]

yeah but i dont think it would be as strong as the COD streak its also really easy to shoot down his turret

[drowsy shuttle]

is weapon jamming a new feature? cause im getting tired of my weapon stutter or "jam" while shooting in full auto... sometimes even lead me to dead...

[arctic grove]

its a known issue

seems to be affecting all full auto weapons

[quaint wigeon]

boris as a specialist simply isnt that good anymore lol

[drowsy shuttle]

ah okay, well at least they know... hope its fixed in 2.1 update... cause i doubt they release an hotfix for that before 2.1

[sudden matrix]

I just walked it up to me playing on 128 player servers and switched to 64 breakthrough, fixed it for me

[royal osprey]

You see, that is a better thing to critique the game for. And I am absolutely not saying it isn't dumb.

Infinite is a mere sliver of what Halo is supposed to be, no content, no features, and no updates to really look forward to.

[arctic grove]

its a serverside issue mostly, down to performance I think

[arctic grove]

yeah same

[drowsy shuttle]

doesn't happen all the time fortunately otherwise i would stop playing the game until they fix...

[royal osprey]

Most importantly, Infinite just isn't fun.

[arctic grove]

the game just can't handle too many players in one area

[sudden matrix]

Still thinking it's was a terrible idea to buff the headshot multi of rifles and such

[drowsy shuttle]

why?

i think was a nice buff, lets reward skill

[sudden matrix]

You get hit by 1 headshot even if your using an AR you lose the gunfight

And I don't mean it's close, I mean it just straight one sides the other player

[limber garden]

How to unlock m16?

[lunar finch]

100 kills with ar and 30 kills with underbarrel launcher

[arctic grove]

use the SFAR for a while pretty much

[limber garden]

Ah, okay thx guys

[arctic grove]

hoping that I can play some more 2042 tomorrow, still waiting for my new monitor to arrive, taking so damn long

[sudden matrix]

I do also dislike you cant chat with the enemy though

[arctic grove]

yeah I missed the shit talking

[still vault]

Chat is a lot friendlier and probably requires a lot less moderation from countless EA people though.

[limber garden]

Yeah we need that back

[sudden matrix]

Pretty sure they hired an independent company for filters at least for BFV

[shell ermine]

Yeah, all that racism, sexism, and homophobia was sure great /s

[lunar finch]

Nothing better than seeing a bunch of boomers going negative complain theres no hardcore

[limber garden]

Like hide the chat maybe?

[arctic grove]

still lots of people talking shit to their team tho, because everyones a pro player and they're always being held back by everyone else /s

[arctic grove]

I mean, I don't like it either, but you aren't going to stop it by turning off a global chat

[lunar finch]

Yeah people who blame their team are the worst

It is no ones fault u cant win a gunfight

[royal osprey]

There was moderation? Honestly, the chats in EA games would be more manageable if reporting people didn't take 10 minutes.

[limber garden]

Yeah, like talking shit in team chat aint a thing, at least before you could talk shit to your enemy now because you don't you have to burn your team

[shell ermine]

Yes! That's totally the answer to those issues. Good job, you get a gold star. 🏅

[limber garden]

So removing the chat is the path to it then?

[arctic grove]

Im gay, but I couldn't care less that someone is homophobic in a video game. If they are, they're just a sad individual who are desperately wanting attention, best just to ignore them.

[shell ermine]

With party chat and discord being a thing? Yeah, games don't need in game chat anymore

[limber garden]

Up

[still vault]

People contacting support to report someone. Then EA has to review, then ban, mute or whatever, then the user who got actioned try to appeal, contacts support again, case gets reviewed again, user gets rejected, user keeps contacting EA over and over again.
Lots and lots of resources getting uses on that.
But yeah, guess it sucked if you expected it to be instant.

[royal osprey]

I want games to have a proper chat, but I want it to come with proper reporting that is fast.

[limber garden]

How am i supposed to find the discord channel of the random enemy i play with Einstein?

[arctic grove]

mhm yep

[shell ermine]

There is zero reason you need to talk to the enemy team

[grizzled whale]

That SHOULD happe

[shell ermine]

Also if we had a server browser with community hosted servers any discord would be linked

[limber garden]

There is also zero reason to get offended by random people on the net but there you go

[grizzled whale]

Instead they either ignore it or they use coin toss on ban or no ban

[limber garden]

People would still be an ass even there

[arctic grove]

nah I wanna talk shit when they're camping or eventually get pushed back, call out players who are in certain areas

[shell ermine]

You honestly come off as wanting to be an ass in chat and you are mad you can't

[keen loom]

[sudden matrix]

I just mainly liked I could call out that one dude sitting in his spawn on an AA or in a bush

[royal osprey]

IF EA has no automatic review for finding slurs then I guess they just can't afford to give players the ability to communicate.

[limber garden]

Whatever makes you feel special

[arctic grove]

That is exactly why they removed it

back in BFV and BF1 I used to call out the location of certain players who were camping in general chat, so they either got swarmed or were forced to move

[keen loom]

Cringe

[sudden matrix]

Hero

[arctic grove]

thats the sorta shit I miss

[shell ermine]

Thanks for proving my point

[limber garden]

You get thi there are other reasons for both teams to chat, right? Like relaying information on cheaters and more than anything else - having fun

[royal osprey]

Imagine trying to use the fortification feature.

[wind otter]

sup guys

[still vault]

If you ignore all the negative psychological effects that can cause I guess you can come to that conclusion - somehow

[wind otter]

im a prone lcmg boris and ranger user ask me anything

[sudden matrix]

I mean, who's gonna actually be physically hurt by that?

[arctic grove]

Doesn’t matter if you aren’t physically hurt…

[wind otter]

this is my face reveal 🤓

[sudden matrix]

Or even mentally

Pretty sure autocorrect screwed me there

I mean, pretty sure half the people that camp AAs or prone in a bush do it to annoy others

[wind otter]

nah i just do it because is the only way i can get kills

[limber garden]

Newsflash, Life in general has negative psychological effects...

[wind otter]

i also use incendiare granade

[sudden matrix]

I'm fine with that, shit talking is just a given then. But I understand if you meant like DDOS or something like that, that's a bit more serious

[arctic grove]

I get that people don't want to hear horrid shit online, but it aint gonna stop regardless of how many game chats or forums or websites that perpetuate that shit get closed or removed. Sure it takes it outta the game but all it does is move the offenders elsewhere and fobs the problem off on someone else to deal with, it doesn't actually solve the problem in any way.

[uncut bay]

and there is no need to add onto that with your online actions

[royal osprey]

I understand this, and I think it can be cheaply handled with automation. Many games don't even give any appeal window since they just chat ban a person. Assuming they aren't a repeat offender.

[still vault]

The answer to that was already included.

[edgy oriole]

im all for not having 2042 be a bf4 chat or a cod chat.

[arctic grove]

So yeah, that totally excuses removing the one place some people find a safe place, online video games

[wind otter]

the other day i posted 🏳️‍🌈❌🏳️‍🌈❌

[still vault]

Kinda irrelevant but ok.

[wind otter]

in thi discord and got muted for an hour

people really be getting offended by anything

🤡

[arctic grove]

“Life sucks in general, let’s not do anything about people being aholes”

[uncut bay]

it's not particularly difficult to not be an asshole online, and of course there will inevitably be people who make it their sole ambition, but that's no excuse for enabling the harassment of others

[edgy oriole]

!!r5 is my guess

[tender pendant]

Rule 5: Do not post content that is: political, abusive, threatening, defamatory, racial, sexual, religious, edgy, baiting, relates to suicide or is otherwise objectionable/offensive.

[misty shadow]

@wind otter kid calm down

[still vault]

An hour would be the automatic filter, so yes a bot got really really offended

[limber garden]

It is relevant in the way, that we all have to cope with the negative stuff in life, pretending they exist doesn't make it so.

[wind otter]

ikr bot got offended because he cant have secs

[stray shuttle]

Whats the highers amount of kills/points for unlocks you can get from AI kills?

[edgy oriole]

360 all attachments

[wind otter]

idk hope i helped

[still vault]

Again, rather irrelevant, this is not pretending it doesn't exist.

[shell ermine]

All attachments, applies to weapons and vehicles

[sudden matrix]

I gotta say, Paik on the new map breakthrough is kinda annoying

I ended up getting something like over 200 spots in a game

[wind otter]

even after the nerf??!!?!?1

[limber garden]

I see valid arguments on both side of the fence. I just think it wasn't the best approach, implement global chat, but leave it off by default unless you go into settings and turn it on. Isn't that better?

[stray shuttle]

Seems to be more, i'm at 396

[keen loom]

[sudden matrix]

Great for grinding battle pass a bit though

[stray shuttle]

Sorry, was 296...

[wind otter]

just adapt stop complaining about paik it isnt even that broken

🥸🚽💩\

[royal osprey]

"Negative stuff" Is a bit too nice a way to describe targeted hate for something another person can't change.

Pretending there is no negative outcomes to unmoderated chat is silly. Still I think removing chat from games is also silly.

[wind otter]

everyone knows fat people where born that way right 💀

[arctic grove]

Among other things we’ll never see a game chat even if its implemented how you suggested anyways.

[sudden matrix]

Your literally being ignored by everyone

[keen loom]

Mad cringe tbh

[wind otter]

tell that to someone who gives 1 fck

[arctic grove]

No wonder ya got muted

But the bot is the problem right

[sudden matrix]

Bigger clown then me ngl

[wind otter]

bro ask for a face reveal

[keen loom]

I hope the bot muted you again, you’re so damn weird

[limber garden]

I don't really know since I don't get offended online or irl or care what people think... Better than depending on a game developer to turn off chat to protect my feelings tbh

[arctic grove]

All I will say is I think it was a silly and lazy decision, and that a better middle ground should have been found. Proper moderation and a working reporting system would have been preferred, doesn't matter if it meant more work for EA and DICE, its their job. That's all i'm gonna say.

[wind otter]

didnt ask for a face reveal*

[still vault]

Somewhat. If you want the politicians to not make laws in this area you probably have to put it behind a 18+ agegate - and then it would still not fix everything.

[wind otter]

gen z gets offended so easily godamn

[keen loom]

Whatever you say boomer

[foggy halo]

no

[limber garden]

Okay, but how does this fix that since you can see the same toxic people in team chat?

[wind otter]

not my fault if yall are fat if still eating like cows

[lunar finch]

Who?

[arctic grove]

No, Gen Z is just active against general discrimination and oppression

[wind otter]

ur mother ask btw

[lunar finch]

I need a source on that

[keen loom]

On deez nuts old man

[lunar finch]

^

[sudden matrix]

On that we agree, seems like people are being cancelled left and right. Some of them are legitimate reasons to be cancelled though.

[arctic grove]

Gen Z has a lot more empathy and care you mean. It aint a bad thing that young people are seeing hate and rejecting it by standing by those who are hurt, and reminding those around them that regardless of what anyone says or believes, they are real people who deserve love.

[royal osprey]

Perfectly fine, but you are not the sole person the feature would be for. Other people have problems you might not.

[still vault]

It decreases the toxicity immensely. I never said it removed it completely.

[sudden matrix]

I don't mean just genz I mean in general

[misty shadow]

Most people can talk big behind a screen and and troll but when it comes down to meeting face to face they run away

[wind otter]

mod present im outta here

[keen loom]

Bye fat man

[wind otter]

im 16 and ripped 💀

see ya

[keen loom]

Cap

[royal osprey]

This.

[arctic grove]

LOL this dude

“16 and ripped 💀”

[limber garden]

Unless you show me some official data or statistic that this approach works, this is just an opinion not a fact.

[arctic grove]

no wonder he said what he said, hes just an edgy 16 year old that hasn't grown out of it yet

[wise zodiac]

People just lie.

[stray shuttle]

Is the new revolver any good?

[keen loom]

[shell ermine]

Side bar to this discussion, I assume dmrs don't count for the 20 sniper kills for the weekly mission, do they?

[arctic grove]

nope

Nope

has to be a sniper rifle

I did it on the new map by just hanging back during breakthrough and sniping through the opening on the ship

[shell ermine]

Fuck

[arctic grove]

works well enough

or taking out the people who get on top

[tacit sphinx]

you can meme about in CQC with a holo because they’re OHK up to like 25m

[stray shuttle]

Unfortunately not, what i did was being an annoying bastard running around with the .50 rifle

[lunar finch]

I cant stop laughing 😭

.1 kills a minute

[uncut bay]

jesus

[tacit sphinx]

also i believe underbarrel weapons count towards kills with the weapon so you could do it with grenade launchers and masterkey lol

[keen loom]

[still vault]

Only data I have is my own observations. I've seen the chat in every PC Battlefield and it only got worse as the series became more popular and only got better again once you couldn't write to the opponent team.

Don't get me wrong, I also miss all chat, but that doesn't mean I don't understand why it was removed.

[lunar finch]

2.23 kills a game

How do you even do that

[keen loom]

I have a 1.45

[drowsy shuttle]

lmao

[arctic grove]

im god awful but I still manage an average of like almost 12

[lunar finch]

Console kiddies can not handle MC067 with that nasty .1 kills a minute

What a menace

[stray shuttle]

He must be running dedicated medic or scout or something like that judging by his level

0.1 kpm is quite impressive to manage 😄

[lunar finch]

True tbh

Thats like a kill every 10 minutes...

[royal osprey]

What is the site for my BF2042 stats?

[edgy oriole]

[stray shuttle]

I like the new wheelietank, just wish it wasnt so bugged

[lunar finch]

Ok but if he has 2 kills a game but a 1kd does that mean he gets 2 kills and dies twice and thats it...

[limber garden]

I believe this is due to all of the console players who won't bother to chat ingame. Turn off crossplay (for pc) and see all hell break loose - team chat more toxic than older titles team and global chat combined...

[tacit sphinx]

battlefieldtracker.com

[stray shuttle]

Thats about the stats i have when grinding XP using Caspers drone

[lunar finch]

His most played character is boris though😭

[keen loom]

[edgy oriole]

[edgy oriole]

game forced me to prone and slide btw

[arctic grove]

bruh what is with the green and purple

[lunar finch]

Ur ui colors i was like why are u mag dumping ur teammate then i realized

[keen loom]

Major L Crawford will be mad

[edgy oriole]

green to see enemy better purple more neutral so ill ignore better

[arctic grove]

huh

interesting

[edgy oriole]

see how fast i hit that thank you emote

[arctic grove]

I seriously need to look at some of the shit people do to get better at FPS games cause im just painfully average but don't bother changing anything to get better

[keen loom]

[edgy oriole]

got that shit down

[arctic grove]

but shit like that sounds actually helpful

[royal osprey]

Apparently I am bottom 40% in many categories, better than I expected considering how little I play.

[edgy oriole]

i mean its not really anything too fantastic its just easy on the eyes

[arctic grove]

nah but I get that, I should try it

my eyesight is awful and I have a hard time focusing on things

so maybe it would help

[edgy oriole]

use yellow on manifest bc its the only night map too

[foggy halo]

I just saw a streamer play a cursed map and now I don’t want to launch this game

I'll play bfv

[keen loom]

[mental cave]

im so conditioned that i would probably shoot the purple

on those settings

[plain sigil]

Any advice on kills

Or how to stay alive longer

[desert torrent]

Funny how reviving puts you at the top of the scoreboard

[sudden matrix]

Play slower?

[chilly jacinth]

aim good and watch the map

[edgy oriole]

flank and stay above ground level. this community 99.9% blind and deaf

[daring pagoda]

Word

[plain sigil]

Thanks

[daring pagoda]

Was literally walking right behind a guy and he didnt notice me until i shot him

[arctic grove]

And thats why I keep meaning to use headphones when I play but always forget

lol

[sudden matrix]

Anyone know why BFtracker for some reason cannot find my origin account?

[arctic grove]

do you have the 'share usage data' option enabled in 2042?

[lunar finch]

How do you forget...

I cant

Play

Without them

[sudden matrix]

Hmm, that may be the problem, is it in game or regular origin settings?

[lunar finch]

In game

I was confused too why my stats were priv

[arctic grove]

because honestly when I play I never really take the game too seriously, never have done tbh

I have a pair of wireless logitechs but I always forget to charge them

[lunar finch]

Well as long as you have fun

[arctic grove]

oh no thats the problem, I used to get really bad rage all the time

[stray shuttle]

Is there any way to fix the bug with not getting unlocks?

[arctic grove]

but for some reason I never actually try to fix anything

[reef bough]

well that was close

also round time 20:42 lol

[stray shuttle]

I got 170 kills with the new assault rifle, but still havent got the sights unlocked at 90+

[lunar finch]

Did u unlock them against ai?

[neon iris]

Is anyone else suffering terrible stutters, or is my internet just shit?

[plain sigil]

[lunar finch]

Catboy mackay outfit when

[edgy oriole]

it can be both servers and internet. ive been getting hit hard in 24/7 bt stranded only

[neon iris]

I just jumped int cq on discarded, so it's more than that for me

I've been having packet loss, but pinging google in the back isn't showing anything

still suffering stutters tho

[stray shuttle]

Might have, yes. Need to kill a player to unlock properly?

[lunar finch]

Yeah

I think how it works

Is that

[stray shuttle]

testing

[lunar finch]

U can unlock normal attachments in bots but in order to get attachments that require a certain mastery u need real players

[royal trail]

is anyone else having issue with the EA Desktop App where it just say loading on BF 2042?

[lunar finch]

Because when i did the am40 everything unlocked in bots except the drum mag which needed mastery 12

[royal trail]

not being able to start

[tame cobalt]

I'm finna quit 2042 till season 4

Season 2 is L

[formal imp]

Do you guys prefer the DXR or the SWS

[royal trail]

no one?

[frosty mural]

I prefer the dxr cause it hits harder but that movement speed on the sws is so much better

[tacit sphinx]

i normally go for the dxr but tbh both are good

[limber garden]

What's the fastest way to progress battlepass (except for buying & weekly missions)?

[frosty mural]

Anyone has similar issue with updates? Once the game updates, performance is so smooth high fps around 90 and no stutters but a few times loading into the game afterwards, it just becomes stuttery at 80 fps and feels so slow

[formal imp]

Getting as many ribbons as possible each match

[limber garden]

Thx!!

[formal imp]

👍

[tame cobalt]

Yeah fam I'm uninstalling till season 4

[edgy oriole]

[tame cobalt]

Wat

[gloomy wyvern]

Thx

[gloomy wyvern]

The knife

[tame cobalt]

Wat

[gloomy wyvern]

It's released in fork knife

[gloomy wyvern]

I have the kills for the ak under barrel shotgun but its still locked, I know the pain

[gloomy wyvern]

I agree this season is 💩

[tame cobalt]

Yeah, renewal and orbital will make it better tho, but rn I'm like bleeeehh.. uninstalling until at least season 3

Gonna find other shit to do

[gloomy wyvern]

Orbital, Exposure, Kaleidescope are the only maps that make it worth playing

[gloomy wyvern]

We got GTA...

[sudden matrix]

For me what seems the fastest as I don't really pay attention to it is using Paik in Stranded Breakthrough either as defending or attacking

[gloomy wyvern]

How fucked is that mode for that map

[sudden matrix]

Increadably

But I can unfortunately only play breakthrough cuz anything higher than 64 players stutters

[gloomy wyvern]

Like season 0 kaleidescope? Layout or no?

[sudden matrix]

And I'd rather play that map in BT than any other

[sudden matrix]

No clue tbh, preordered 2042 but couldn't run it and only just now barely got the specs to play it like 3-5 months ago

[arctic grove]

After sniping with the SWS for my 20 sniper kills challenge.. I’m a bit biased for the SWS now

[gloomy wyvern]

.50 better

[arctic grove]

I dunno why I don’t use the NTW more

I’m kinda addicted to the M5A3 although I already unlocked almost everything for it

Long barrel and HP ammo and it’s actually pretty good

[gloomy wyvern]

Maybe because it takes 7000000000hrs before you reload

[shut osprey]

all I can say is that Dozer is the absolute king of the side hallways on Stranded Breakthrough as attackers
yeah, Crawford's minigun is good, but Dozer can boop the gunner through the shield, or farm deflect damage if the gunner is stupid

I got 35 melee kills in one match, all of them against players
dozer smash

[gloomy wyvern]

I wanna know what "expert" dice consults with prior to releasing a game like Battlefield...

I reload 10x faster than the animation...

[shut osprey]

dozer still needs a buff though

[gloomy wyvern]

No, just bring your sensitivity up done

[shut osprey]

I feel like I shouldn't have to resort to mouse shenanigans to make his shield less shit in CQB :P

the fact people can slide past you, and you can't track them because you run out of mousepad is just bleh

[sudden matrix]

I just used the NTW without a scope close range ngl

[gloomy wyvern]

I feel like I shouldn't resort to a .50 for CQC when that's the entire reason Shotguns exist...

[shut osprey]

...not my point, but whatever

[gloomy wyvern]

Because of what I said right?

[sudden matrix]

No.

I just returned and that was the first message I saw so I responded with the method I used

[arctic grove]

Yea that’s how I’m thinking of using it as well

[sudden matrix]

I mean, for me it's easier than sniping long range and only hitting for like 60 with body armor being a thing

[keen loom]

[edgy oriole]

i cqc the ntw with the 6x

[arctic grove]

U play hardline?

[edgy oriole]

no old game

[arctic grove]

Damn anybody?

[edgy oriole]

best place to ask is #battlefield-legacy-titles thats where all games talk is

[wind otter]

old games are for old people

[sudden matrix]

Yes, that's generally what happens as a game gets older

[wind otter]

but im not old so i dont play old games

i use boris

its the best specialist

[slate meadow]

Do they not play test these things ?

[edgy oriole]

i dont think EA has QA for any games. one of the last sims updates made it so your characters get old and die in a matter of 5 minutes

[bronze stirrup]

Omf this goddamn auto gun jam bug is frustrating

reload after killing someone, just turn the corner and I'm holding down my trigger all the way and just 1 bullet fires

[wind otter]

is that on 2042?

[bronze stirrup]

Yeah

[wind otter]

not surprised

💀

[bronze stirrup]

with like every automatic weapon

It's been driving me insane for months

Idk if its supposed to be a feature at this point or a bug

[wind otter]

or maybe they wanted to make it realistic jamming the gun props to EA for so much attention to detail

[sudden matrix]

I mean, some of the most popular games were released like 10 years ago, Terraria, Minecraft, some soulsbourne, and Skyrim

[bronze stirrup]

because that's always a "fun" mechanic right

[edgy oriole]

its a bug. ive had my fair share of just watching someone murder me

[spiral lake]

last night was fun, I ended up #1 in the scoreboard 2 rounds in a row and I didn't even get top for kills, Most of the game I was healing, dropping ammo and reviving.

[arctic grove]

How much BP points did ya get?

[spiral lake]

I earned like 8 BP points from the one round and completed my SMG node of the weekly missions so ended up like 16 or something from one round and another 5 or 6 in the round after

[wind otter]

DAAAAMN

[drowsy shuttle]

PTFO? eewww

[wind otter]

i always get like 1 point per match

[arctic grove]

I like the system they’ve got set up tbh, you earn fairly well for doing a good blend of different things

[bronze steeple]

Am40 get outranged by sfar

[bronze stirrup]

It's actually not a bad system since it just stays 10 points per level the whole way through

and if you're not getting like 4 points a game skill issue

[visual horizon]

they should add throwing knives

[arctic grove]

I can’t imagine the AM40 with the correct headshot values tbh, that’ll be a lot of quick headshot deaths

[spiral lake]

in the second round I had 9 kills - 36 assists - 17 revives and 7 deaths, Yet the guy on my team with the highest kills was 32 kills and he made 3rd lol.. Kinda funny when people say its all about the kills/deaths when PTFO clearly is superior for getting you top of the scoreboard

[bronze steeple]

[wind otter]

im bad af i get like 3 kills per match so cant complain think ill start using support more instead of boris

[bronze stirrup]

It's moreso just about ribbon coverage.

[bronze steeple]

Boris is lame his sentry is weak

[bronze stirrup]

Objectives are only 1 of 5 ribbons but the real meta is getting all 5 maxed each game.

[spiral lake]

same in BFV, I've had rounds where I made #1 just by the PTFO stuff, F kills.

[bronze stirrup]

Which means like a 25kill game, x amount of revives, spots, resupplies, etc.

and captures

[wind otter]

i know he didnt deserved all those nerfs 😡😡😡🤬

[bronze stirrup]

Boris is not weak

[drowsy shuttle]

i don't think Dice knows how to buff the boris sentry without making it OP

[bronze stirrup]

He does need some buffs but he's still great

[drowsy shuttle]

the sentry is almost useless..

[bronze stirrup]

Just gotta think of how you use the turret instead of counting on it to solo people

[wind otter]

it used to be like that

[bronze stirrup]

set it up in a different angle to pressure people while you snipe or something

[visual horizon]

i posted it in the wrong channel

[bronze stirrup]

It never should've been able to solo people imo

[wind otter]

1st step: set up the turret

2nd step: get kills

[lucid goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/indeed-tealc-stargate-gif-4496552

[bronze stirrup]

Unless youre just literally not paying attention.

[wind otter]

until it fot nerfed 😡

[arctic grove]

Im getting pretty near the top of the leaderboard by simply just spotting, rezzing and resupplying. As long as I can keep my KD at like 2 per match I should be able to make up for my awful performance when the game first came out 🤣

[drowsy shuttle]

its easy to destroy, it basically only tickles you and has a delay to start shooting... they need to rework that (without making it OP... its not gonna be easy)

[wind otter]

i am but i usually hide behind cover because if i go out i got absolutely massacred

[bronze stirrup]

It does need more health and some tweaks but yeah people act like its supposed to be able to solo a squad by itself which would be ridiculous

It's there as support fire not the primary source of damage

Which is why they want you to stay close to it for bonuses

[drowsy shuttle]

also they need to change the tier 1 requirement for boris... 60k damage with sentry? it will take forever unless they buff it

[wind otter]

yall think boris pairs better with lcmg or sniper

[visual horizon]

they should add laser guns

[bronze stirrup]

Either tbh

Boris is decent for just camping

[wind otter]

oh aight

[visual horizon]

i want stormtrooper armour

[lunar finch]

I could care less about being #1 on the board but i have way more fun playing for kills than running from flag to flag worry about winning

[visual horizon]

lightsabers would be cool i think

[bronze stirrup]

So like find a good sightline you can crossfire with your turret and just camp it

[lunar finch]

People get so tilted over obj its insane

[drowsy shuttle]

the day they will do that, its the day i will leave battlefield

[wind otter]

i only use lcmg because its ezzz to use and also the one shoot sniper its ezz to get kills with it

[bronze stirrup]

I snipe with Boris

[wind otter]

i think dice should nerg that sniper it almost looks like cheating

[visual horizon]

they should add gravity-nades that remove gravity in an AoE

[bronze stirrup]

I drop the turret somewhere close to the objective and then shoot whoever it panics

[edgy oriole]

i only get upset when team camps spawn and makes it so we cant advance into a more fun point on a map.

[wind otter]

only use 3% brain effort and get ez kills

[wind otter]

me too bro 😎😎

[visual horizon]

When's the item shop opening? Will the first skin be Renegade Raider?

[bronze steeple]

He was weak from start

[bronze stirrup]

It still gets the occasional kill on its own but yeah its more meant to annoy people not to be lethal

If it could solo squads it would be dumb

[lunar finch]

Yeah on breakthrough i get it but those people cursing each other out in team chat over conquest need a hobby

[wind otter]

what you mean it was OP at the start it even highlited the enemies like paik before the nerf

[spiral lake]

I've always preferred PTFO over kills, Yeah it's fun getting those kills but working together as a team is what got me hooked on BF when I first started up.. No other game since then has scratched that itch for me

[lunar finch]

I never got into team play since i just play by myself

[limber garden]

People not playing the objective need to play tdm

[bronze stirrup]

They should make rangers more dangerous though imo

[visual horizon]

i'm so bad at 2042 that it might have to be my first PTFO title

[wind otter]

💀

[bronze stirrup]

But i have a feeling their ai is just lobotomized

[lunar finch]

Too bad i like playing on the large maps so ima just keep playing conquest

[wind otter]

think rangers are already op they have more health than bedrock 💀

[bronze stirrup]

I've watched so many hostile rangers just run pass me not hitting a single shot

They're really not a threat lol

[spiral lake]

Been playing since BC2, Then onto BF1942 and BF2 and BFPFF, Then the rest of the games as they came out.. Always been a fan of PTFO.

[limber garden]

Tdm has large maps you anchor

[bronze stirrup]

Besides the fact that they spot you

[lunar finch]

I died to a ranger once... i dont wanna talk about it

[bronze stirrup]

The biggest annoyance is that they spot you

[lunar finch]

I was low

[bronze stirrup]

It happens lol

[lunar finch]

Their range is insane

They spot you from like 100m

[bronze stirrup]

Most of the time they're just braindead though

[lunar finch]

Conquest is more fun for kills

[spiral lake]

held E one time with my ranger stood next to me back in the alpha of 2042 and I didn't know it could self destruct and take you with it 😂

[lunar finch]

...

It can self destruct?

[spiral lake]

yes

[lunar finch]

😟

[visual horizon]

i've always been a top fragger, but i just can't keep a streak higher than 3 in this title; i might need to make a statistical sacrifice and PTFO to feel a sense of accomplishment by the end of 2042

[bronze stirrup]

They have a time limit iirc

[lunar finch]

Who do you play?

[spiral lake]

Hold Q to bring up com-rose and hold E with it spawned and it'll sound an alarm before it splodes.

( or the console alternatives )

[visual horizon]

Mackay and Falck

[lunar finch]

Ah same

I was gonna say maybe its who ur playing

[visual horizon]

but i sometimes play Irish and Rao

[bronze stirrup]

I do fine dropping like 50 kills most games but yeah I need to focus on stuff like logistics or wingman ribbons more

[visual horizon]

nah, i'm highly versatile, i can play most classes in most games, 2042 is just such an anomaly for me

[shell ermine]

Well I gave it another shot, I still don't like this game. I really don't understand what they did to change the movement and gunplay so much from BFV. It's just not enjoyable

[bronze stirrup]

I wish ribbons didn't cap out so that 50+ kills each game didnt feel pointless towards xp gained

[lunar finch]

Opposite for me, i do mediocre in other bfs and really good in 2042, 2042 just clicks for me

[bronze stirrup]

I play a lot of Sandstorm or this but the skillsets don't really translate over with eachother

[arctic grove]

Hello! Im saul goodman! Did you know you have rights? The constution says you do

[bronze stirrup]

Besides getting really good with controlling bursts

[visual horizon]

strange

[bronze stirrup]

Playing sandstorm so much is probably the only reason I can make the m16 useable rn

[edgy oriole]

finna be in the home stretch

[bronze stirrup]

But I'm still losing fights I shouldn't rn with it

Random hrec is ass in arcade shooters

[spiral lake]

I got that recently while I was trying to T1 the GVT Lever Action

[edgy oriole]

[daring crypt]

Anyone down to run some breakthrough??

[spiral lake]

GVT is the only gun that's pretty close to T1, I also T1'd the prox sensor lol

[edgy oriole]

i t1 proxy in release era

[spiral lake]

hahaha

[shell ermine]

Yeah, 2042 is just... off. I feel like it's a combo of the janky movement, floaty movement, poor net code, and crossplay

[spiral lake]

yeah I haven't T1'd any of the specialists or guns yet

[fallen stratus]

just dont care for it?

[bronze stirrup]

Tbh the prox sensor got nerfed too hard

[edgy oriole]

i was gonna t1 all specialist that was the only goal, but when i got to assault i got bored and stopped. then i found a love for mcdaddy and i like sundances AA grenade so ive been doing them slowly

[bronze stirrup]

It was annoying but now nobody uses it lol

[regal sphinx]

Sandstorm is a totally different beast. 😍

[lunar finch]

I play a lot of apex and cod so the gunplay and movement is just really familiar and comfy to me

[shell ermine]

Like every BF game before 2042 I've averaged a 2.5kdr and a 1.5wlr, 2042 I'm struggling to keep a 2.0krd and a 1.0wlr.

Even when I play COD if I actually try I still do better than 2042

[spiral lake]

Too grindy.. It's not even relevant anymore now anyway with all the EXP boost servers being hosted on portal.

[visual horizon]

i do too, but i just can't with this one

[fallen stratus]

there arent exp servers to grind t1 weapons are there

[regal sphinx]

Not even Falck? She's easiest to T1 imo.

[edgy oriole]

there was once upon a time

[fallen stratus]

mackay is stupidly easy too

[shell ermine]

I'm just Ground War in MWII is better than it was in MW19, supposedly the maps are made from the ground up for Conquest this time and apparently a Rush-like mode is coming too

[grand prism]

Do you guys think dice should make the top part of the ship in stranded off limits

Like out of bounds

[edgy oriole]

i think they should make tdm just up there

but no keep it how it is. imo

[lunar finch]

Mackay🐐

[dense nexus]

No one cares about the USA vs Russia Nichè being told as " a love letter to bf fans"
Bf4's China vs USA to me was better

As form of conflict

[edgy oriole]

good try tho. portal is the love letter go back to reddiit

[arctic grove]

Still a bad love letter

Thanks for showing how much you actually know what you’re talking about kek

[edgy oriole]

its been 84 years since we got a timmy misquote the love letter

[bronze steeple]

Am40 is new k30

[fallen stratus]

explain

[edgy oriole]

subsonic with silencer dont tell nobody

[modern cradle]

yea nah

its under competes

[bronze steeple]

Its kinda equal a bit less fire rate

[edgy oriole]

vector is just too good of a firearm. they only way to balance it is to not put it in a game in the first place.

[bronze steeple]

Its kinda good

[modern cradle]

no lol

[bronze steeple]

[bronze steeple]

Yes lol

[modern cradle]

tha am40 has a 800 rate of fire

k30 has 1100

big difference

[bronze steeple]

A bit

[loud flower]

I'm gonna take another route and say that USvBad country is beyond overrated, overused, tiring and I'd prefer to see some other conflict where it's not like, the US against the whole world or if it's a coalition, it's not just the US flag, it's a coalition flag with actual members in it, not just vassals
how hard could it be for DICE's scripters to take NATO's flag, add a bunch of NATO guns and make up a new fictional flag for a Russia/China/some ME and some SE-Asia countries coalition

[modern cradle]

...

[bronze steeple]

[modern cradle]

lmao okay bro u use that am40 all u want

we need filler i guess

the filler players

[dense nexus]

Well yeah

[loud flower]

I start shooting a guy with my AM40, he starts shooting at me with his K30, I'm the one who dies first
I call bullshit

[modern cradle]

well yea the k30 is better

the am40 is dogshit

compared to pbx an k30

[bronze steeple]

Pbx lol mp9 and bsv are better

[modern cradle]

hell even the pbx has a better fire rate by 50

[bronze steeple]

You just cant handle the am40

[edgy oriole]

pbx is the most default gun.

[modern cradle]

nope not as of the last few patches

[visual horizon]

PBX best gun in game

[modern cradle]

pbx is close to if not meta

atm

[edgy oriole]

pbx my fav gun but its literally mid

[dense nexus]

Does bf2042 feel more like cod now?

[modern cradle]

k30 has been since launch but it kgot kinda nerfed

[bronze steeple]

Yes too much nerfed imo

[modern cradle]

nah

[bronze steeple]

Mp9 and bsv got nerfed aswel

[modern cradle]

u just gotta be good with it @bronze steeple

[edgy oriole]

I always hated mp9. id rather use any gun in the game than that gun

[bronze steeple]

Its my top 3 mp9 bsv k30

[loud flower]

I'm tired of it being suck a fckn cracked OP weapon
nothing beats it and it's just not a fair fight
where's the fun in playing like, 3 guns out of all available
same with MW19, 60+ guns, I've seen players not knowing what were a good chunk of them when they got killed by the MG42 for example because they use only the AS Val, the M4 and the MP5
god damn how can you play a game with only 5% of its content and never even try out the remaining stuff

[tame cobalt]

[edgy oriole]

[modern cradle]

well yea most people are but wht can u do

[grave prism]

K30 isnt even that good now lol

[modern cradle]

they added portal weapons and were to lazy to balance them

when they add the acr

i hope they balance it

[loud flower]

are you kidding me ?
how is me, firing first, landing every shot, and me still dying first to a desperate spray balanced just because the guy has a K30 and I have literally any other gun

[modern cradle]

compared to what tho

like

lmao

[edgy oriole]

acr gonna be meta as it should

[modern cradle]

look at the rest of the line up

[bronze steeple]

Am40 is cool pbx is fine too sfar m5 and ak24 and pp29 decent aswell

[modern cradle]

not much to work with

i think its still good

[grave prism]

literally everything past 30m is better than k30

[loud flower]

@grave prism

[modern cradle]

oh lmao no shit

[loud flower]

that's the only thing going against it

[modern cradle]

were talking about smgs and run and gun

[grave prism]

learn to aim. simple as

[bronze steeple]

I mostly hate bsv nerf k30 and mp9 still badass

[modern cradle]

and how am40 is a shittier smg

then current smgs

and its an ar

[loud flower]

reread my message and go past "me firing first" this time

[green bough]

You guys know about the am 40 bug right?

[bronze steeple]

You can make.it a smg like m5

[modern cradle]

u stand by the am 40 with all but 8 kills and 20 deaths at the end of the game

[grave prism]

you did not land every shot if you fired first and still die

[modern cradle]

yes everyone does

[loud flower]

I'm genuinely surprised the BSV died down that much when we turned over to Season 2 tbh

[green bough]

The headshot one

[bronze steeple]

I have good rounds like 30-12 or something with it

[modern cradle]

ur just holding urself back is all
