battlefield-2042

[wide shore]

It takes 4. Lol

[lone wren]

M1 bazooka hitting a tank corner

[eager spire]

Vehicle/Infantry balance seems to be fucked in this game and the reason for it is simple. Tanks don’t have APS and Lis exists.

[arctic grove]

Yeah, the way they word things is very vague but not at the same time. It’s weird

[hexed mango]

same kinda... but also interesting with ridgeline, no news on if its gonna be a 2042 campaign or completely new, so im curious

[arctic grove]

4 too many

[wide shore]

Especially when it’s a tiger that takes 500 shots

[keen loom]

[eager spire]

They said it’s gonna take place in the Battlefield Universe, so it’s likely gonna be close to 2042.

[arctic grove]

They said campaign narrative

[hexed mango]

hasnt everything been in the battlefield universe tho

[arctic grove]

Probably gonna be added to 2042

[wide shore]

BFV tanks made me wanna get smacked in the head with a steel chair

[eager spire]

Look man I don’t fucking know

I’m just guessing here.

[lone wren]

Making a tiger more armoured would annoy anyone

[wide shore]

Those gosh darned Germans making smart tank designs and having sloped fronts. How dare they!

[arctic grove]

In the battlefield universe the Chinese and Russians started world war 3

[lone wren]

Tbh I would sacrifice fire-power for better armor defence

[arctic grove]

Reactive armor

[lone wren]

Yeah

[wide shore]

Tanks just need a APS on cooldown

[wise zodiac]

Staghound enters the chat.

[wide shore]

It’s such a simple change. The new vehicle has it literally.

[wise zodiac]

Shit goes ZOOOOOOM and kills everything

[arctic grove]

But the new vehicle is like infantry

Its like in between a car and an apc

[wide shore]

It’s easier to kill a tank than any of the transports in the game

[wise zodiac]

That's what's wrong with video games today.

[lone wren]

Survivability increase

[eager spire]

The fact that they can add APS to a new vehicle and not add it to the tanks at the same time is baffling.

[wide shore]

Madness

[arctic grove]

Helicopter using flares then zooming out just to come back with flare ready again

[wise zodiac]

A tank should be able to tank.

[wide shore]

Poor things barely make it out of spawn

[eager spire]

Is that not what helicopters are supposed to do

[arctic grove]

Yeah but I don't have enough stinger ammo for that

[wise zodiac]

It's like a Mazda! Zoom zoom!

[wide shore]

At least they nerfed the 50mm on the transports. Cause holy hell that was a dark time.

[arctic grove]

Fr

[eager spire]

That was funny.

[arctic grove]

I like how when u shoot a tank it has that visual of the rocket hole in it with the fire

[wise zodiac]

Except that doesn't really happen

[wide shore]

I did notice the new vehicle has the BFV tank cookoff animation when it’s destroyed

[arctic grove]

Wym

[arctic grove]

Wym

[arctic grove]

Also wym

[west raft]

Imagine the chaos of one or two Rams on either side for stranded BT

Nowhere is safe

[wide shore]

When it’s destroyed, underneath the turret catches on fire and then the top explodes off.

[wise zodiac]

Tank rounds, on impact, go boom.

[arctic grove]

Oh right

[wise zodiac]

It's not gonna leave a hole in the armor unless it's a kinetic round with no explosive charge

And that's if it can even pen the armor

[arctic grove]

Like u shoot the rocket and then spark fly everywhere and a hole is left

[wide shore]

He’s saying it doesn’t happen irl

[wise zodiac]

Lol you have watched too many movies

[arctic grove]

I have

[wise zodiac]

That's not how it happens irl

Lol

[arctic grove]

Well it's realistic enough imo

[wise zodiac]

It's pyrotechnics to make things look "cool"

[arctic grove]

Does a good job at that

[wide shore]

It does indeed look cool

[arctic grove]

I be so immersed in the game

[wise zodiac]

But real javelins, AT4, LAW? Even RPGs? Yeah, no....

They, uh, launch out the tube.

And then go boom

[arctic grove]

Javelins look realistic

[wise zodiac]

They're not incendiary rounds.

There's no flame

[arctic grove]

They don't leave a hole but make a huge boom

[wide shore]

The point of a launcher isn’t so much for penetration as they are disabling right?

[wise zodiac]

Unless something catches fire after it explodes lol

[eager spire]

Kinda wish DICE had an official playlist for Domination. I’d play it. Hell, if mouse input is fixed and the map layouts are good I’d buy the game for that.

[arctic grove]

Dice needs official playlists for alot of things not just cq and bt

[eager spire]

Yeah

[wise zodiac]

Elaborate "launcher". Because the definition of "launcher" for those systems is just the tube & any electronics to enable flight trajectory.

[wide shore]

Conquest of Ages should always be official portal

[low timber]

I think last time I’ve played domination was back in Close Quarters DLC

[wide shore]

Well, like an RPG/SMAW/JAVELIN ect

[arctic grove]

In lameans terms rocket puker

[wide shore]

Ones that go boom

[wise zodiac]

I mean the point of American made launchers is to destroy the target.

So, usually HE rounds.

[hexed mango]

did i hear boom?

[eager spire]

I’ve played it a few times in BF1. Conquest and Domination are weird in that game though, the team with the score advantage keeps scoring even if they lose the majority of flags.

[arctic grove]

Oscar mikes

[wise zodiac]

High explosive stuff to go boom & kill whatever is there.

[eager spire]

Also, the time it takes to cap a flag in BF1 Domination is really fast.

[wise zodiac]

That's also why tanks have different ammo types - because each round does a different job.

[wide shore]

But realistically, if it can’t penetrate the armor what use is an explosion? Destroying tracks is an obvious one. Maybe fucking up the turret rotation

[wise zodiac]

HE, AP, HEAT, etc

[arctic grove]

Does disable parts in the game

And tracks

[wide shore]

These are honest questions btw. I’m not trying to come across as annoyingly ignorant. Lol

[wise zodiac]

Some rounds, like AP, have a molten shaped charge, so when it penetrates, it "explodes" and starts catching things on fire and melts shit.

[arctic grove]

Then u repair torch it

[violet meteor]

I wouldn't say no to a confetti gun

[wide shore]

Yeah shaped charges make sense. I just meant specifically just like a dumb fire RPG

[low timber]

Did you know you can’t repair the Vulcan turret with the repair torch

[royal osprey]

HE and HEAT are no longer a thing in many cases, HEAT-MP or MPAT do both jobs.

[arctic grove]

Ye, but it will more than likely be added in the next update

[wide shore]

You said they can’t penetrate like they do in-game. So their explosion would not do a super amount of damage, right? Other than tracks

[wise zodiac]

Isnt APFSDS, APCR, SAPHE still a thing too

?

I know Sabot definitely

[royal osprey]

A large enough explosion VS light enough armor will cause deformation in the armor. That deformation can break internals by causing spalling and over pressure.
British HESH is a great example. Basically it liquifies personnel in a tank since it causes overpressure, no perpetration required.

[wide shore]

Damn

Are the little rocket catcher meshes actually useful then?

I mean I imagine they’re somewhat useful or they wouldn’t exist.

[real pawn]

2042 > other battlefields

[royal osprey]

In MBT main guns no, APCR and SAPHE can be found on older platforms. Modern guns, even 25mm and 30mm use APFSDS. There is PELE for 120mm rounds, but I think its a prototype round, similar to HEAP. It breaks the APFSDS round intentionally with a small explosive, so instead of the rounds going right through a target, it imparts ALL of the kinetic energy into the target.

[hexed mango]

[real pawn]

I like how they added the other battlefields has player cards

Battlefield 1 > player card

[west raft]

Chad's use the BF1 card

[hexed mango]

thats what i use

[real pawn]

^

[wise zodiac]

Well shit - learned something new!

[arctic grove]

Run satchel. Easy

I use the one of that person that kinda looks like they’re wearing Angels skin with the little visor I forgot it’s name

[wise zodiac]

Yes. From personal experience.

[west raft]

One of the base cards?

[wide shore]

Noted!

[real pawn]

That Emp server died

Lmao

[royal osprey]

They are a gamble against older rockets, a gamble you are likely to win. If a rocket goes between the slats, it will get damaged, potentially preventing fuzing, often damaging the shaped charge.

If a rocket hits a slat directly, then it's just a nice standoff for the explosive. And modern missiles likely don't care cause tandem.

SLAT armor is cheap though so it's worth it against the very common old RPG's.

[west raft]

Nah bro wtf is this 😭😭😭

[haughty dagger]

that was the xmas event

[next onyx]

Old game mode fucking hell that is creepy.

[wide shore]

Yeah I imagine it’s use is paramount for the middle east.

[haughty dagger]

a portal only game mode

[wide shore]

Thanks for the info fellas.

[west raft]

We need to bring it back

[royal osprey]

I can't put images here yet. So I recommend you lookup Rheinmetall Strikeshield, basically a modern replacement that works against more than just the oldest rockets.

Also less of a gamble on impact point.

[wide shore]

Noted!

Sounds cool

[wise zodiac]

The SLAT stuff sure helped on my MRAP for sure

[royal osprey]

One of the reasons I am disappointed with 2042 is the lack of an APS in basically every vehicle.
They are already entering service in many places, and there are so many variants out there.
Especially for the MAW and MBT's it should be a thing.
Both in game MBT's literally have it modelled.

[wise zodiac]

RPGs and some shaped charges didn't really fare well against the SLAT stuff.

[minor ferry]

Okay, how about this: different attack route and direction on BT for each map

[violet meteor]

What's a good avancys loadout

[minor ferry]

this could solve that "all area of a map isn't utilized in BT64" problem

[summer zenith]

Thats so scary

[still vault]

APS? What is that?

[arctic grove]

Angel but cursed

[somber egret]

is a dumb way to help alleviate CPU running to hot to run the graphics higher to in effect artifically change the bottleneck or does that not really end up working

[royal osprey]

Active Protection System, like on the new vehicle.

[wise zodiac]

Active protection. BF4 had it

[next onyx]

Uhhh can't say I'm sure. Give tech a look sorry. @somber egret

[west raft]

Angel without facial hair

[next onyx]

They fix the shitty turret traversal and give the tanks and wildcat an APS and they'll actually be good.

[somber egret]

sounds good!

[next onyx]

How the hell does a tanks turret move slower than a heavy tank from a previous game.

[summer zenith]

Its a diffrent game...

[next onyx]

True but it's still pretty sad.

[still vault]

Ah, right, not sure I miss it actually as getting close with c5 is now harder (imo)

[next onyx]

Making your tanks on the next game worse isn't balance it's shit.

[wise zodiac]

I agree. Tanks in this game are weak.

Lol

[next onyx]

I'm not looking forward to m1a5 mastery.

[summer zenith]

Oof

[next onyx]

Thing is though they can be strong. I've gotten tonnes of killstreaks with the t28 on breakthrough.

[wise zodiac]

Oh gosh. Blue chat everywhere

[next onyx]

You can literally make a difference.

[wise zodiac]

I'm going to bed. Have to be up in 4 hours

Byeeeee

[summer zenith]

Moderator chat

Goodnight rev

[next onyx]

Tier 1 vehicles are good though.

[royal osprey]

The MBT's have certain spots where they can work. But more often than not 2 or 3 players in the same spot can do the same job.

MBT's are just weak.

[summer zenith]

Do you have t1 tuktuk?

[next onyx]

If they had faster turret traversal and an aps I'd imagine they'd be much, much better.

Nah.

[summer zenith]

Tuktuk is the best vehicle in the game

[next onyx]

I might be depressed but I'm not THAT depressed.

[west raft]

Faster tuktuk turret traversal

[wise zodiac]

Before I go to bed.

Give me a Bradley IFV and mortars.

That's all I want.

[next onyx]

Give the tuktuk a little 50 cal on the top.

[summer zenith]

Yes

[royal osprey]

BF4 had both and the shells had less drop and moved faster. Tanks were fine in BF4.

Not to mention, people actually repaired vehicles in BF4. Never seen a repair tool in the wild in 2042.

[next onyx]

Don't forget the fact that tank shells weren't total horse shit.

In bf4.

How you want a medium all purpose shell? It's unlocked by default.

In this game fucking MPAT doesn't do anything. It's only good against tanks and it has a pathetic blast radius for infantry.

[wise zodiac]

That's why persistent servers and a server browser needs to exist so my clan can play together and actually play as a team and support one another.

[next onyx]

HEAT is shit against vehicles but you might as well find an angle and abuse people that way.

[summer zenith]

I never liked the ir sights on the vehicles

[arctic grove]

Yeah

[next onyx]

I prefer zoom.

[wise zodiac]

Thermal is the best.

[summer zenith]

Zoom is for the chads

[next onyx]

Yeah well persistent servers and a server browser are legacy features didn't you know that.

[summer zenith]

Sleep

[wise zodiac]

I'm an old fashioned gamer. What can I say? Lol

[royal osprey]

I want thermals back. I want 2042 to give us modern full color NVG's. So damn sad.

[summer zenith]

No

[somber egret]

bring back the bf2142 recon cloak

[rapid timber]

Thermals are unhealthy

[next onyx]

Yeah functional games at launch are old fashioned too. Can't have that any more these days.

Helicopter thermals were a massive problem..

Tank less so.

Infantry a none issue.

[rapid timber]

What kind of specialist abilities/gadgets would you guys like to see

[somber egret]

https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/IT-33_Active_Camouflage this was so fun to use

[royal osprey]

Would make sense on the Attack helis, the stealth heli wouldn't even benefit.

[next onyx]

I wouldn't mind an assault that can carry more ammo.

Mackays all I want in a character so I haven't seen it past that.

[summer zenith]

A guy with mortars

[next onyx]

St helis unironically would.

But eh.

[summer zenith]

Imagine you protect the objective with mortars on breakthrough

[rapid timber]

Camouflage would be pretty need for a recon class

[summer zenith]

Ur whole team starts spamming them

[royal osprey]

Detectable by recon grenade and Paik.

[rapid timber]

Mortars and other foritifaction systems would be nice for engineers

[next onyx]

An assault that can stab themselves with a buff syringe for faster movement speed.

They had this planned back at bf5 with the combat medic class. Remember the archetypes system?

God that would have been cool to see.

[summer zenith]

I bet we are gonna see mortars in this game

[quaint wigeon]

12m has insane range holy shit😂

[somber egret]

boots that absorb fall damage and also increase jump height

something like exoskeleton legs

[rapid timber]

with it being a glimpse into the future lots of things could be possible

only hard part is not going to crazy

easy to make ridiculous ideas lol

[somber egret]

i mean the stealth helicopters are basically the gunships from 2142, would be sweet to add walkers

[royal osprey]

Modern tech is already crazy, need to nerf it for the game.

[summer zenith]

We need uav like a vehicle

[quaint wigeon]

and here i thought the vcar was the best marksman rifle but it was the 12 m all along😂

[rapid timber]

You meaning a shotgun

[arctic grove]

DICE Moment

[rapid timber]

i have yet to even look at the shotgun section

[quaint wigeon]

nah man use the 12m its a marksman rifle and u cant tell me different lol

[loud flower]

fact

That thing got range damn

[lilac dust]

Don't you just hate it when you kill a guy then go prone in cover and then hear a CHING CHING of a grenade rolling next to you and you just know there's nothing you can do about it so you just lie there and go .... well fuck

[upbeat sand]

throw it back

or praise to god for intevention

[lilac dust]

I'm referring to the ones that are a fair distance away from where you are laying prone... The blast radius is fucking absurd on frag nades

I've just started to accept that a nade in another country will have enough blast radius to kill me in this game

[quaint wigeon]

tbh yeah sure but i think they should keep that blast radius that way

[lone wren]

Tbh seeing more AT launchers would be cool

in AOW

[arctic grove]

I use smoke Launcher and god damn that is soo underrated.

[lone wren]

Have you tried the vape class

[arctic grove]

Running pure smoke?

Yes

[lone wren]

just use smoke nades a smoke launcher and a smoke underbarrel

[arctic grove]

but i like my Frag Grnenade

[lilac dust]

I used that all the time when I was trying to get boris tier 1 but gave up cos even when you hide that turret in smoke, it's still not worth the grind for how shit the damage is

[lone wren]

Then you failed the vape class

[arctic grove]

Faxts. It was barely duoble before the nerf and now its nearly impossible

[lone wren]

Tbh it would annoy the teammates as much as the enemy

[arctic grove]

Glad i T1 Boris before the nerf

[lone wren]

T1 boris

Boris was tbf unfairly nerfed

people whined about the turret

and dice just nerfed it to the ground

[quaint wigeon]

imagine losing a gunfight from 75m to a shotgun and youre using an lmg😂

[lone wren]

That would be brutal rage

throwing something out a closed window

[arctic grove]

I lost a 100m fight to that Pistol Shotgun with 1 shot.

[quaint wigeon]

DICE baby

[arctic grove]

Gotta love their logic

[lone wren]

Remember how brutal the bf1 shotties were

Well I personally cant wait till i return to 2042 next week and use the new LMG's since i like a heavy fire power

[upbeat sand]

Pistol shotgun?

[keen loom]

[stark plaza]

[quaint wigeon]

BP lvl 52 should i relax

[arctic grove]

I cant remember the name of the secondary weapon

[edgy oriole]

[upbeat sand]

G18
M28
M44 revolver
P51

[keen loom]

[arctic grove]

It was the Revolver

[lone wren]

44 magnum

[arctic grove]

Mood the

[keen loom]

Me be like

[lone wren]

treat it like a shotgun

[arctic grove]

1 shot kill at 100m

[upbeat sand]

Ahh yes
The shotgun

[lone wren]

Headshot right

[arctic grove]

Yes

[lone wren]

Ah if it was body 100 m you hackin

if it was full health

I like to tank

personally

Y'all should be my gunner sometime y'all would have a blast

I am a tanker who knows when to retreat and recover and to push

[arctic grove]

Getting my new series X tonight, I am happy. Will have bf 2042 as well.

[lone wren]

Nice

[tame cobalt]

Belle delphine is an overwatch character, whatchu mean

[arctic grove]

Lol

[lone wren]

Poor you wasting money for that

[keen loom]

[tame cobalt]

[lone wren]

[arctic grove]

So since I'll be playing 2042, first time since beta, which guns are currently meta? I watched some videos and from what I could see the scar looks to be the best.

[lone wren]

But anyway off overwatch back to bf2042 i shall return tanking in 2042 next week

No she totally is in it

Don't let these paid shills tell you otherwise!

[grizzled whale]

A queen?

Yes

Yes she is

[grand prism]

Don't tell me....that we got people who paid for belle delphines....

Oh god damn it

[keen loom]

[grand prism]

That's my head at this very fucking moment lol

[keen loom]

I didn’t know who she was until they mention it

[arctic grove]

Tbh crisp, I feel bad you now know lmao

Wish I hadn't said anything

[keen loom]

[grand prism]

I found out who she was because my friend gifted me one of her videos on my 19 or 20th birthday

[keen loom]

nice gift

[arctic grove]

Gifted? You mean subjected to lmao.

[grand prism]

Man i was like who the hell is she

My friend goes like that's belle delphine

Nut.

[grand prism]

Now i'm just literally listeing to heavy metal

[next onyx]

@grand prism Listened to dusk?

[tame cobalt]

[grand prism]

Not that i know of really currently listening to Fury by wage war

[next onyx]

Ah yeah

It's soundtrack was made by Andrew hulsuit. Same one who did doom eternals dlc.

[grand prism]

Oh really

[next onyx]

Yeah.

You can hear his style in it

[grand prism]

I thought it was Alamander

[next onyx]

I will admit I'm a bit of an idiot so when I hear metal I think of heavy rock.

I know doom eternal had multiple people doing it.

[grand prism]

Yeah it was mick gordon

[next onyx]

Mick Gordon we definitely know of but there was a dispute on eternal unfort.

It was so bad he doesn't work to work for Bethesda anymore.

[low timber]

Work to work?

[white geyser]

I want the next doom game, but Mick Gordon is not working for Bethesda anymore because some music for Mick Gordon he was making got rushed, in 2016 doom soundtracks it wasn't rush it got release few months later

[icy tide]

Imagine cannot handle the truth
"Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/battlefield2042."
btw 8 months ago but still this is true because battlebit gets more active players than 2042 during playtests

[full burrow]

its hard to compare the two games in a reasonable manor but what I would say is battlebit people did what they set out to do and did it well while still being in early stages of development

whereas battlefield people advertised and marketed the fuck out of their game which they did not really do a good job on and it has required a year of post release updates to be considered decent

[next onyx]

New gen transition plus rushed development fucked this game.

2042 really does live rent free in people's heads huh.

[scenic tartan]

Battlebit is the worst game I've played this year

[next onyx]

Never thought I'd hear that.

[scenic tartan]

I don't play a lot of bad games but I tried it to see how bad it must be for the 2042 malding crowd to love it

[full burrow]

im sure 128 dicksize brag had an effect on the games failure too

[tame cobalt]

Battlebit is the worst game I didn't play this year

[full burrow]

I mean surely everyone on the development team would have had experience around 64 player set ups and now suddenly we need to make it 128 because yes

[scenic tartan]

It's pretty well known that engine enhancements to frostbite were delayed so content development and balance and testing all got delayed for 2042 but the game didn't get delayed

[quaint wigeon]

bro my team plays good all of sector a then just go braindead on sector b and c how how how

[scenic tartan]

They should have given them another 6-9 months

[quaint wigeon]

like what fucking happened

[full burrow]

and what about basic shit like xp for medics, various assists ect that were only added wayyy after release

they needed engine enhancements to think thru the same basic shit that should have already been considered for the last 3 games several times over

[tame cobalt]

it's not the team, it's the game

[quaint wigeon]

no it is the team

just play like how u were literally one minute ago u absolute dumbfucks

[full burrow]

idk what happened to the people in my games yesterday but two games in a row we had ALL objectives captured in exodus conquest

[tame cobalt]

[scenic tartan]

When the engine is ready first you do all the other shit on top of it after. All the content creation waited due to frostbite engine delays

If there's no engine there's no way to put content in a game and get it working

[tame cobalt]

some of the portal maps can result in all-cap pretty fast

[full burrow]

first time it was kaleido

second yeah was arica which it does happen on a lot

[scenic tartan]

On stranded dumb teams will fight on the ship all game and lose all the other sectors

Ez 400-0 loss

[full burrow]

not dumb teams

dumb map

[tame cobalt]

facts

[tame cobalt]

exactly

[scenic tartan]

Outside the ship is fun

[full burrow]

unless you mackay you cant even easily get to anywhere

who wants to fight over an outside point to then have to run to the same entrance to the ship anyone on this side of the map has to run to

[tame cobalt]

in my opinion most of the "dumb players" and "dumb team" complaints actually come down to dumb game design. the game should be designed in such a way that people naturally play correctly, like that's almost the entire point

[full burrow]

yeah very true

[tame cobalt]

like with the shitty medics at launch. it has improved a lot ever since they fixed revive bugs and improved the request revive feature.

[full burrow]

like people who complain about snipers but like those people sniping are literally in the perfect spot for doing sniping

what you expect them to do lol

I wish they fixed silent nade launcher bug

its so annyoing I dont know that its fired until the reload animation starts or damage starts to do

[tame cobalt]

rip

[quaint wigeon]

i just dont understand how u hold down sector A for 20 mins then lose b and c within 2mins

that is a sign of people going fucking brain dead mid match

[full burrow]

momenTUM

has to be done exactly like that tho

[quaint wigeon]

u literally have 30 sec to get your shit ready before they attackers come into the next sector

[full burrow]

use delay tactics

[quaint wigeon]

i wont argue dumb game design but this exceeds that

[full burrow]

get a jeep and start riding around the attacking enemy

[tame cobalt]

because sector B and C are unbalanced.

[next onyx]

As if it's not bad enough he's on the roof killing us, He has a Rog Strix 3080.

In game chat best chat.

[quaint wigeon]

B is a whole lot easier to defend than the others

[tame cobalt]

that's not what your anecdotes suggest

[quaint wigeon]

thats what im saying man

[full burrow]

really dont think the ship on stranded in that great

[quaint wigeon]

like why are we getting steam rolled at B

i dont fucking get it

[full burrow]

even the ship on Alaang is actually more complex on the inside

[tame cobalt]

[full burrow]

its overall larger and more space

[tame cobalt]

is it tho

[full burrow]

Stranded the points are small and the only real choke the containers area

which is a very small place

[royal osprey]

I have a water-cooled 3080, but I don't camp the container room on stranded.

[full burrow]

one of the points with the moving crane thing is cool

[tame cobalt]

where u just get farmed from all directions

[full burrow]

until someone makes sense of the chaos and just picks the angle holders/campers out

or you just fucking run across and attack the next point and let the people fight there

[next onyx]

I have a 3080 and I just crouch spam like a motherfucker with my p50.

[chilly umbra]

I never can stay still in BF games

it feels wrong

[royal osprey]

[chilly umbra]

like lay down with LMG and just wait....and wait

[next onyx]

I'm love my 3080.

[full burrow]

just saying, this whole new yeah close quaters combat map consist of one container room and one point that is small ish

the other ship point is fairly open and mid sized

[chilly umbra]

I'm 3080 lover tooo

[full burrow]

I have a 3070 in my laptop

[next onyx]

let's go.

!

[chilly umbra]

i have 3080 back when it was on reasonable price before the market went crazy

i could sell it for alot , cuz its non LHR , but i missed the timing

[tame cobalt]

it's fun in conquest 64. it's too tight for actual combat in cq128 and BT... just a cancerous clusterfuck

[chilly umbra]

💯

[full burrow]

yeah I do agree that the map is fun to play and yeah you can have good fun in those closed off ish areas

[chilly umbra]

128 conq is hella crazy

[full burrow]

but the devs need to learn what to say

dont fucking promise us a new amazing CQC experience because of this new map that has one literal fucking cqc area

[low timber]

And the areas are pretty open tbh

[full burrow]

yeah the smaller point in the ship still has plenty of raised ground on its further ends so you dont even need to be close to kill the people on it

[chilly umbra]

its too close or too open , They must remake some of these maps , like they did with Kal

[full burrow]

and the container room is just one fucking room lol

and depending on how people are playing in it I could easily run across/zipline over and just go for the next point

[low timber]

On Breakthrough the second sector is really open with just some tank chassis and few missile crates as cover with still full visible from one end to the other even with the moving crane.

[full burrow]

im thinking of cq but yeah that point in the ship is a bit to big and open to be real cqc

I did love my zipline on top of the crane to defend

[low timber]

Also on the BT the red container room, why is that trap door the only openable one? Gives defenders a really good place to shoot in or even flank.

[tame cobalt]

Manifest, Kaleidoscope 2.0, and exposure have nice cqc

[full burrow]

yeah I like Kaleido anyway (64 didnt really benefits from 2.0) but its a good map

which one is manifest again

[tame cobalt]

Night map with crates

[low timber]

The harbor

[full burrow]

yeah thats a decent map

only issue is the spawn locations when it comes to vehicles

like surely those who spawn on the left have a much higher advtange to get their vehicles to more points

[tame cobalt]

Renewal 2.0 is also gonna have fun CQC at the central gate objective and at that big building at the edge.

[full burrow]

but yeah Kaleido 64 is awesome as long you basically forget that B exists

unless its the enemies only point just ignore it

[tame cobalt]

Kaleido cq128 is nice now

[full burrow]

then always be fighting on As or Cs and itsa great map

[tame cobalt]

C has some great battles

[full burrow]

I just dont like the size of 128 as a whole

[low timber]

Oddly the 64 Kaleidoscope is just half the map, while the 128p is smaller than some older titles bigger maps.

[tame cobalt]

[full burrow]

even if some 64 maps arnt the best its still preferable to any 128

[tame cobalt]

i prefer the 128 versions of 2042 maps

by far

[full burrow]

I think 128 is a waste of effort

[tame cobalt]

Well except stranded. It doesn't have a 128 version

[full burrow]

like I said before twice the players and twice the map size does mean equal distribution

so the action heavy areas are chaotic and the rest is just deaaaaaad

[tame cobalt]

No

[full burrow]

Stranded like we said is fun enough map to play on but I just dont get it

like I feel no synergy between the exterior points and the ship

[tame cobalt]

IMO this can be fixed with mode design changes

Make a new game mode that somehow creates better equal distribution

[full burrow]

thats asking for a lot

from people who ehhhhhh when it comes to deliver

hmmm

[tame cobalt]

it's asking for the bare minimum for evolving BF to higher player counts

imo

[full burrow]

I never wanted them to evolve QQ

I stand by 128 is dick measure nothing else

they had no actual plan or real vision for it

its just 128 is bigger so do it

so yeah I only play exodus but favourite map

I do really like the Ship on Alaang

Kaleido is good as long as you forget about the point by itself

[tame cobalt]

that point is actually really fun when there's action

[full burrow]

the point itself is good in a vacuum

but in 64 cq its just a bit of a waste of time

too far out of the way

[tame cobalt]

it's good in cq128

Common cq128 W

[full burrow]

lol

The area around and the point I do like fighting on

[tame cobalt]

it's great now imo

[full burrow]

its just too much of a detour to go there and also youre exposed leaving there too

[tame cobalt]

really cool level design there

moving it to the second floor is a great change

[full burrow]

as mackay its not so bad cos you can climb to the roof then parachute

[tame cobalt]

And when it's highly contested you get like a siege on the outside

[full burrow]

but I dont think you get very far

[tame cobalt]

[full burrow]

the tower points are funny tho

if you start loosing them and try to spawn instead of putting you a bit outside the point you get spawned on top of the skyscrapers

meaning you can now attack any point you fucking want and can also now choose your exact entry side if you do want to fly back down

[tame cobalt]

[full burrow]

you know C2 on the 64 layout

[tame cobalt]

Yes

[full burrow]

a jeep perfectly fits thru the doors not only to drive into the lobby but also drive between the metal pillars

so you can sit there right in a middle

I like to drive there solo get intisde the point and switch to gunner seat and protect all doors xD

[tame cobalt]

[full burrow]

fat rectangles not allowed tho

[tame cobalt]

Renewal 2.0 and orbital 2.0 gonna be so good tho

[full burrow]

got good hopes for renewal

cant rememeber orbital 64

[tame cobalt]

For some reason orbital isn't in exodus but hourglass is

Orbital 64 is way better than hour-ass

[low timber]

We haven’t seen much of Renewal but few shots of the big building, solar farm and the checkpoint on the green side, and one pic of the battery farm

[full burrow]

is hour glass still in exodus?

[low timber]

Sure there are few other pics as well

[full burrow]

havnt seen it in ages

[tame cobalt]

idk

[low timber]

Like the side vehicle entrance and the container in the middle of the field

[full burrow]

but yeah hourglass is just THE pieace of shit

[tame cobalt]

I don't understand why orbital wouldn't be in exodus

the 64 version is fun

[full burrow]

yh I do remeber playing on 64 orbital, i think I remeber it mostly

[tame cobalt]

but i guess it's definitely gonna be in when orbital 2.0 comes, and that's gonna be VERY fun

[full burrow]

got the big rocket tower, the two points below that ether side of the roadd then the more open rocket tower at the back right

[tame cobalt]

ye

[full burrow]

oh and there was a flag below the open rocket tower to right

[tame cobalt]

ye

[full burrow]

yeah thats not a bad layout

especially considered how open and wide 128 is

[tame cobalt]

Yeah, it's kinda the best part of the map in orbital 1.0

[polar sparrow]

How do i skip this endless cinematic, when i launch my game ?

[full burrow]

I wish exposure 64 got a little bit of love

[polar sparrow]

Its been like this since i updated

cant play the game, help ?

[full burrow]

by love I mean a zipline at C and D

verifty your files to start?

[polar sparrow]

Alr will do

[tame cobalt]

128 better

[full burrow]

rwaaar

[polar sparrow]

They are all validated, nothing wrong with them

[full burrow]

launch and try spamming escape

also see if your console works

`

[polar sparrow]

my console work

that s the only thing that works

[full burrow]

any command to skip intros or anything

[tame cobalt]

the valley is the worst part of exposure imo, it's open and you feel like you're stuck and at a disadvantage by being there.

[polar sparrow]

What are the commands ?

[full burrow]

idk im just guessing at options

[tame cobalt]

Did yall notice the A2 flag on exposure cq128 is like a mini Zavod

[full burrow]

yeah its easy to get to but once youve capped either of those flags your basically a non factor until you get back to the action

[tame cobalt]

ye

at least in cq128 it's one out of six sectors so you can pretty much ignore it

in 64 it's half the map

[full burrow]

sometimes at the begining of the match I will fly down there with a jeep to cap early

but thats only 50% reliable due to explosion upon impact/landing

[tame cobalt]

I hope manifest cq128 doesn't remove the A sector

It's really fun imo

Better than the one at the opposite side of the map imo

[full burrow]

dunno about 128 but manifest 64 is a pretty good map

[tame cobalt]

ye manifest is good in both

[full burrow]

the point groups are unique and interesting to fight over but also have their own privacy from the rest of the map

only issue is vehiicle spawn balance

[tame cobalt]

[full burrow]

one team is in a position to basically cap A, B and contest C

[tame cobalt]

[full burrow]

whereas the other team can cap C and maybe contest B

[tame cobalt]

True

I love the cq128 version tho, i feel like it's gonna be hard to improve and they might mess it up

[full burrow]

fingers crossed for you

[tame cobalt]

[full burrow]

also

battlefield 2042 dedicates much of its development on portal, tells us it takes too long to remake old maps

we have 3 old maps in exodus I think right

and in over a yeah they have redone 2 maps now? or it is just kaleido

so how fucking long does it take you to make new maps or remake existing ones when remaking old ones is considered a lot of time and effort

[polar sparrow]

Bro,why are all the game modes empty

[plush mural]

Anyway something could be done about a server host/admin who uses his server to run hacks so he cannot be kicked

[full burrow]

should be a report server button no?

[plush mural]

yeah i did that I was just wondering if there was any other more direct way for someone to look at it because it has been an issue for so long

[full burrow]

this is only a community discord

somethink like EA support or Dice support or something where you actually make a ticket would be the only other way I can think off

[plush mural]

yeah it sucks it is a popular server but when the owner gets on it is hell he sits on the other side of the map and insta kills you every spawn wave with headshots en masse with full auto explosives through the terrain and the liz specialist rocket doesnt do any damage so you cannot return fire and he just farms hundreds of kills with no deaths

[full burrow]

damn that sucks

[upbeat sand]

I accidentally installed reshape on 2042 while trying to do it on another game and

Holy sh the game looks way better

[mental wraith]

also gives lower FPS

used to have it on BF4 and i lost like 70-100FPS

[upbeat sand]

Huh for me it's the same

Actually higher

[slate meadow]

Why have they still not fixed the new nade launcher

It still doesn't get killed by Irish sentinel

[upbeat sand]

They are working on it

I'll either be in a hot fix or the next update

Patching takes time this isnt epic game's extreme drip feed is continuous content and updates that crunched workers to the extreme

[still vault]

I have pushed to get the m16 nade launcher hot fixed but let's see what happens.

[round garden]

ea: the game doesent do well the team is fired

ea with bf2042: OMG SO GOOD WE NEED A CAMPAGNE 💀

[grizzled whale]

could you push mackay to be put into recon class in season 2?

[round garden]

wtf is wtong with these mfs?

5k active players

[grizzled whale]

on steam

[west raft]

And Paik in assault

Prolly

[grizzled whale]

mackays grapple just fits recon

[royal osprey]

Looking to save poor EA some money?

Fixing 2042 has a measurable effect on sales of the next game.

[mental wraith]

at least remove the infinite nades from Angel

with that M16

[round garden]

no dip the game and make a proper game

[grizzled whale]

and my whole playstyle is based around mackays graple and the spawn beacon

[round garden]

i dont give a shit about 2042 i want a good bf after bfv

[grizzled whale]

then why are you here

[royal osprey]

You want them to abandon the work done up until now and start over? To sell another game?

[round garden]

its like when ea acctually kills a game with potential its sad but when they like try to revive the bf2042 game its stupid

[summer zenith]

For attention

[grizzled whale]

you seem pretty upset that they are fixing 2042 for someone who doesnt care

[round garden]

like the people working there have no clue tf is going on

[tame cobalt]

So, when dice talks about the battlefield universe, which games do you think are canon to that universe?

[royal osprey]

Like sure, just stop building community trust in the franchise and try to sell them a new thing immediately. Surely the next time will go better.

[round garden]

bro i want a good game fuck the 5k fan boys

[grizzled whale]

5k on steam

[mental wraith]

10k on Origin /runs

[round garden]

yea

[mental wraith]

feel like most active players are from consoles

[grizzled whale]

+epic and 4 consoles

[summer zenith]

Yes

[round garden]

yes

Make a new game

[grizzled whale]

good thing you arent a game dev

[royal osprey]

You won't get a good game, if the studio can't make 2042, with all the work done, good. They sure as hell can't make a new game good either.
And why would you want them to make a new game anyway? "like the people working there have no clue tf is going on" You don't have faith in the studio right?

[round garden]

because they could work another 3 years on bf2042 the hame is just flawed with the big player counts

[tame cobalt]

I think every bf is canon to the bf universe, except 2142 and final stand. I think 2142 and final stand will eventually get "reboots" that will be canon tho.

[round garden]

waste of time

[grizzled whale]

stop trying to fix the game people payed for, and make a new game and make them pay again

thats literally whats wrong with the gaming industry

and you would prefer that

aside from that

they are 100% doing both

[summer zenith]

Lmao

[grizzled whale]

fixing 2042 and working on a new title

[royal osprey]

You do realize the work done on the game engine in 2042 would also help in any new title right? Working on 2042 lets them fix 1 game, while laying the ground work for another.

Switching to a new game would just guarantee a less developed engine for the next launch.

And you would be willing to pay for that. LMAO

And apparently the studio doesn't need anymore time learning to make a good battlefield, just push out another.

[royal osprey]

At least this way they can have everyone in the studio doing something at all times. Gaining experience to replace what they lost crunching for 2042 only for it to fail.

[tame cobalt]

There's not much dice can do about that tho, when a product fails they don't really get a second chance from consumers on that product, but they do get a second chance on the IP

[grizzled whale]

if they didnt try to fix 2042 and just left it to die nobody would buy the next installment

[tame cobalt]

yeah, which is what year 1 is about, winning back some trust for the next game

[royal osprey]

The game gets a second change as it gets developed further, and yes more importantly the IP needs 2042 to be repaired.

[tame cobalt]

2042 won't be successful though

Repairing 2042 is about making the next release successful

[grave prism]

🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[tame cobalt]

The general public will not give 2042 a second chance, not enough for EA to see it as a successful product. Never

[grave prism]

dice is on its like 4th chance

lol

[tame cobalt]

Yeah, consumers give many chances when it's a new product with new promises and hype.

[mental delta]

I see you now joined the bright side of the force and now face reality

[still vault]

What makes you think he isn't?

And assume you mean s3

[tame cobalt]

They said he'll be assault

[mental delta]

Mackay is said to be in Assault class

[tame cobalt]

I think it's good

Mackay spawn beacons are cheesy

[mental delta]

Cheesy ?

[tame cobalt]

Yes

[mental delta]

What is that

[next onyx]

Yeah the m16 has the makings of a good gun. Its just that its mag capacity is shit.

30+1 rounds might be ok but 40+1 really will push it to a B+ - A-.

A minor damage range tweak would do it a lot of justice too.

[still vault]

In the preliminary graphics they made so people had something to discuss about in the feedback sections on here and Answers HQ etc.

Personally I might actually like him as assault. If that ends up meaning he can't place spawnpoints high up without teamwork.

[tame cobalt]

[grizzled whale]

People said he would be in assault class

[still vault]

So I've been told. I would imagine everything is up to change though since they wanted feedback on it.

[bold iron]

Bro,I have edited a WW3 movie

https://youtu.be/_QJj3pBr2NY

[grizzled whale]

Thats literally what makes mackay useful

Putting spawn beacons behind enemy lines to you can flank

Its not like the whole team can spawn on it, so its balanced

[lilac dust]

It's kind of depressing to hear official confirmation from DICE themselves that they are in pre-production for the next battlefield game(s) ... Like we all knew they were but it just puts a bad taste in my mouth knowing that just 10 months into this game's release

[still vault]

Perhaps a little bit too useful? Combined with flying squirrels its perhaps a bit too hard to form proper frontlines in AOW - too many people being shot from all directions. If this change happens sneaky spawnpoints will require a bit more work from a team but will probably also be more effective / satisfying to pull off.

[slate meadow]

im not even 100% confident now that they will do 4 seasons at this rate

[lilac dust]

Not to mention they're now implying that the creators of Portal are focused on a new game / experience themselves that likely won't be apart of 2042. Kind of a soft confirmation that we won't get new portal maps too I guess 😦

[grizzled whale]

I doubt it will be more effective since a single nade or mackay can still get therr and take out the beacon

[slate meadow]

does irish sentinel take out liz rockets?

[grizzled whale]

Its literally my whole playstyle to flank and put beacons in sneaky spots

Without the spawn beacon on mackay its gonna ruin the way i play

[west raft]

Who says spawn beacons won't be exclusive to assault class

[slate meadow]

what will air spawn beacons be ?

support?

[west raft]

Wdym air spawn beacons

[still vault]

I don't see this far reaching changes taking place where that wont happen to some degree.

[slate meadow]

you know the new spawn beacons that allow you to spawn in the air

[grizzled whale]

Mackay as recon

[tame cobalt]

it's an ability of the new vehicle

[grizzled whale]

Wont change my playstyle at all

[slate meadow]

they need to make more then 8 weekly missions for season

[still vault]

Those are currently exclusive to the new vehicle. Don't see it being added to a class. But I could be wrong.

[slate meadow]

yeah thats what i mean will that vehicle be locked to support or will it just be available for everyone to use

[tame cobalt]

everyone can use

[upbeat sand]

Daily mission when

[tame cobalt]

You'll simply have to

[west raft]

Class specific vehicles

Nightmare

[grizzled whale]

If mackay loses the spawn beacon id probably quit playing

Like legit

[tame cobalt]

[next onyx]

Does the spawn beacon on specifically him mean that much?

[still vault]

Every Tuesday 14.00 Swedish time

[tame cobalt]

Classes ruining battlefield

[next onyx]

Cause it's unbalanced with an operator that can grapple and hide beacons with ease.

[tame cobalt]

[upbeat sand]

Daily

[grizzled whale]

Its literally my entire playstyle

[tame cobalt]

This

[grizzled whale]

Its how i have fun in the game

[tame cobalt]

[next onyx]

You know as well as I that he is an assault and he will not get spawn beacons by default.

[grizzled whale]

And anyone else can go there and destroy it

He should

[next onyx]

Not really because they can't see it in the weird place it's in.

[still vault]

If it happens I guess you will have to learn to be sneaky on ground level, or partner up with someone. As I mentioned, I don't think this is all that bad.

[tame cobalt]

if anyone can go there then you can place it with recon specialist

[grizzled whale]

They should just not introduce classes at all

[still vault]

I like to flank too though so might hurt me as well.

[grizzled whale]

Put it in the next game fine

[still vault]

Remember: #948574259209437264 🙂

[grizzled whale]

Dont ruin the way 2042 plays

[fervent grotto]

So they’re adding classes, which they previously stated they wouldn’t?

That’s not really the problem with this game

[slate meadow]

i think this aswell if im honest

[fervent grotto]

I mean sure a lot of people don’t like the characters, but the classes aren’t a solution to the current problems

There are much bigger things they could be focusing on

[slate meadow]

the game is made around the specialists to much to try and bring in classes this late into the game just feels like a huge waste of time

[chilly jacinth]

its just gonna confuse people to add classes this late

[slate meadow]

those who dont play the game arent going to come back because they are bringing specialists back into the game

[still vault]

That highly depends on who you ask. A lot of people seem to think lack of classes is the biggest issue. I personally doubt it as well but everyone plays Battlefield differently.

[tardy tree]

i think the characters are really cool and unique, theyve definitely grown on me after a while

[grizzled whale]

Yes but all the people REEEEEEËING they want classes

Adding classes wont bring plagers back

[tardy tree]

dont get me wrong i love the classic classes system but the specialists are kinda cool

[grizzled whale]

Its just gonna make people who enjoy not having them leave

Like me, everyone here knows im a huge 2042 fan

But ill leave when that shits ruins my playstyle

[lilac dust]

DICE really gotta slow down man. Cos cutting support for 2042 by the time we reach season 4 just ain't gonna work for getting people to buy the next game

At bare minimum we need to reach a point that BFV did at the end of it's life cycle

[fervent grotto]

I feel like hit reg and other things along those lines are way more important then classes

[foggy halo]

Specialists are better because you depend less on your cursed teammates.

[tardy tree]

ive had problems with the mp9 just stopped shooting mid firefight

and some other guns

like the gun is stuttering

[fervent grotto]

Same

[wide shore]

I think that’s a bug rn

It happens a lot with the Avancys

[tardy tree]

a bug that causes 1 sided fights

they need to fix that really soon

its almost gotten me killed so many times

[wide shore]

I remember it happening really early on, but then it stopped. Seems to have come back this last update

[still vault]

There not being any support past season 4 is a guess fed through the rumour-mill - I don't see any reason to get disappointed in advance of something that is not confirmed in the slightest.

[chilly jacinth]

guns stop shooting has been a thing since release

[tardy tree]

the announcement they posted yesterday sparked hope that there will be a year two

[fervent grotto]

Yea so why don’t they focus on that? I feel like that’s so much more important then classes at this point

[still vault]

true dat

[tardy tree]

but its not specifically stated

[foggy halo]

People that want classes back want predictability
But the problem with this game isn’t lack of predictability, but the way the maps built which makes the gameplay not so good

[tardy tree]

the maps were built on specialists

[foggy halo]

no they are not

[tardy tree]

well

theyre built on vehicles because of the lack of cover

[next onyx]

Mackay with the m16 is kinda weird.

These maps were built with vehicles first in mind.

[tardy tree]

thats quite cursed

[next onyx]

It's why they're garbage for the majority of players.

[tardy tree]

the 2 new maps and the reworks are good though

they seem to have an idea of what theyre doing

sorta

[next onyx]

Oh definitely it shows what happens if you have the actual time to make good maps.

This game was rushed.

I'll say it over and over.

It's why there are so many missing "Legacy features" and overall shit game design.

[fervent grotto]

I know! Imagine how many problems wouldn’t be here if they hadn’t rushed it

[next onyx]

I feel sorry for DICE in that regard.

[lilac dust]

You think so? Honestly what I took away from it was that they are full speed ahead on new projects in the battlefield universe and that they were VERY careful to word it by saying "We will continue supporting 2042" which is the bare minimum way of saying it.... To even say that this early is worrisome. Reason I say this is because they are legally obligated to continue support for another 2 seasons. If they had put out the statement in season 4 then sure I'd have hope.

[fervent grotto]

I do too. I won’t lie and say EA didn’t have a part in it, but DICE also made some bad decisions.

[still vault]

We kinda get you at this point. No reason to keep saying it over and over 😄

[foggy halo]

Definitely wasn’t their intention
But I feel sorry for people that were hyped for this game too

I'll just leave it at, if we get any more containers or a ship in the next map, then we're not getting a year 2 🤣

[fervent grotto]

Lmao

[tardy tree]

recycled assets type map lmao

[still vault]

Now I feel like making more container emojis 😄

[fervent grotto]

You should definitely do it

[still vault]

The people want more maps. I think they should totally make some quick maps using recycled assets. In many maps you play around other battles taking place so would make sense other similarly looking fields of battle would be there.

[next onyx]

Though not everyone knows shit.

[tardy tree]

i feel bad for battlefield friends too honestly

they revived the series and for what

[fervent grotto]

I remember everyone was so hyped for it

[humble jasper]

Is 2042 on sale anywhere

[silk surge]

Why are Caspian Border games always so damn one-sided?

[humble jasper]

I was abt to say carbonic

[lilac dust]

I don't think the launch maps were rushed overall IMO. The way they described the maps in interviews and such leads me to believe they felt pretty happy with the map design for 128. They have learned now that they shouldn't have been that large and that having 100's of players in a map doesn't mean you need to make crazy room for it and have little to no cover just to fit all the players lol

[still vault]

Caspian Border was never that balanced in my experience. People just remember it fondly for the battles for the hill in the middle. But with all the extra mobility in 2042 it quite easy to get up there so not as fun now imo.

[lilac dust]

Hourglass was my most anticipated map because they talked about it with such excitement in an interview. So I think even that map wasn't rushed in their eyes. They just didn't realize they designed it poorly until it was in the players hands IMO

[tardy tree]

hourglass was my favorite for a bit too until i realized how bad the design is

now its kaleidoscope

best visuals imo

the rain looks amazing on the city skylines

ill brb

in calculus

[foggy halo]

Caspian Border was jet farm lol now it's trying to be better than bf3 (with better graphics etc) without actually being better than bf3

[lilac dust]

I forced myself to love the map when it came out. Everyone that played with me said it was shit from the get go but I was like bruh ... this is like the coolest map with the stadium, and the destructible village, the highway leading up to a cool neon lights city.... but then after a while I came to realize I was blinded with the honeymoon phase

[foggy halo]

Almost no guns to choose

[twin finch]

Is BF2042 worth it to buy now on PC?

[next onyx]

LOL the fact that they were happy with objectives being so far apart is amazing.

[west raft]

Ye

[twin finch]

Or should I wait a few more months?

[west raft]

Is fun

[next onyx]

Uh sorta. Optimisation has gotten better.

VALPARAISOOOOOO.

[twin finch]

Do many people play it?

[next onyx]

What region are you.

[twin finch]

Europe

I've got it on PS5 but kinda wanna try PC

but dunno if many people play it probably people in the future will play it they just had to delay it

[fervent grotto]

Don’t buy if it’s not on sale

[twin finch]

Ye

[west raft]

Iirc someone said atleast 5k on steam lately

Maybe more towards Christmas if they put it on sale

[fervent grotto]

Definitely

It’s not a bad game, but I wouldn’t pay a full 60 dollars for it

[twin finch]

I'll wait till then. I'll continue to play on PS5 tho

[twin finch]

Ye

[west raft]

I always felt so bad killing low levels in other bf games near Christmas lolol

Homie just bought the game and got shredded

[twin finch]

Can 2070S play it on high-ultra?

[lilac dust]

I don't think they realized that forcing the player to call in a vehicle every time they capture a cluster of sectors is bad design. They pretty much confirmed in the interviews that it was designed with the intent of using the call in system to reach the next objective .... but that's just a lame thing to have the design of a map basically forcing you to do that.

[fervent grotto]

I forgot the call in system existed 💀

[west raft]

Honestly same

[fervent grotto]

I never use it

Only times I do is to call in rangers. All the vehicles are always taken

[west raft]

Bro how is literally nobody playing lastgen NA stranded bt but me

Madness!

[lilac dust]

I used the call in system as much as I possibly could when the game launched, but even then I couldn't call in vehicles as often as the map design needed me to lmao

[fervent grotto]

Oh yeah when it launched I 100% used it but past that nope

[silk jasper]

Another rush chaos? Cmon whats the portal for if the gamemode is just gonna be the same week in week out

🥱

[lilac dust]

Did they add it back today?

[silk jasper]

fnb-news

[lilac dust]

I mean I hear from a lot of players that they want it as a permanent mode so DICE seem to keep adding it back constantly

I don't think it'll ever be a permanent mode tho. I think Rush is an exception but anything more than that probably won't happen because of the same reason we won't get a server browser for AoW. They said adding lot's more permanent modes / server options makes loading times way worse for the whole game

[full burrow]

anyone else think the blog about new battlefield game is just a overly worded waffle post thats intentionally unhelpful but supposedly looks professional

[lilac dust]

Well it's just a bloated way of saying. New stuff is coming. Get excited lol

[full burrow]

I dont play any fnb stuff cos im not a fan of joining a game that has different core rules

[silk jasper]

The post has absolutely nowt to do with me as a BF2042 player. If anything it signifies the end of BF2042 upon S4 as they start to assemble something for the next BF

[full burrow]

I would respect them a lot more if they just said that lol in a simple paragraph

[lilac dust]

I would respect them a lot more if they would slow down on new projects and give us more content after season 4

Only time will tell

[full burrow]

at the rate they do things and the minimal doing that they do do I dont rly care how they priorotise things because I just lack faith in their competence

whether its the developers or management isnt really my problem

[silk jasper]

Regardless of the state that the game was launched in, I'd have more respect for them if they introduced more content and introduced bug fixes quicker.

The Portal weapons into AOW are a joke.

No cosmetics. Same bloom issue.

The m14

[arctic grove]

Saw there was an update didnt have time to check it - anything special or just a patch?

[silk jasper]

They promised us cosmetics for Portal weapons

They lied.

[full burrow]

didnt know there was one?

not for a few days at least

[lilac dust]

Also isn't it a bit weird that the General manager of DICE Rebecka Coutaz said and I quote are "We're All in on 2042, we don't have time for anything else" ..... and JUST 3 months later we get an announcement that they are working on all these new projects ...... 🤔 🤔

[next onyx]

Nvm the fact that from what I've heard. The engine can only support 40 vehicles.

[arctic grove]

Ignore me just my PlayStation notifications being weird

[full burrow]

yeah their operation is a disgrace, just looks simple balancing changes that they do to weapons/ops

how long it takes them to do anything and the lack of tweaking before/during/after ect

[silk jasper]

They didn't even bother to tweak the weapons. For instance the m14 launcher is impenetrable to Irishes' sentinels

[full burrow]

its like if you make a change after 1 year saying AR headshot multiplyer should be X, then you are saying that for the entirety of the games life up until that point things wernt working properly/well

[silk jasper]

It is simply Ctrl C + Ctrl V operation.

[lilac dust]

Twiiter post from DICE last year - "We also welcome Rebecka Coutaz as our new Studio GM here at DICE

We’re excited for the future and remained focused on supporting #battlefield-legacy-titles 2042 in the years ahead 💪 "

"Years" you say 👀

[arctic grove]

And they acted like it was hard work

[full burrow]

yeah, 2022 + 2023

thats multiple years

[hasty flume]

I'm wondering when this bug is gonna get fixed

[silk jasper]

And yet we have people here on this discord defending dice for copying portal weapons into aow stating "iTs nOT aS eASy aS cTRl C + cTRL V"

[lilac dust]

if only we got season 1 sooner.....

[full burrow]

the disgrace that only a year after release did start on adding portal weapons into the game

like no one could have considered that be a good think to do

especially when everyone was mad at launch due to lack of weapons

[silk jasper]

I like the game at its current state, I find it enjoyable now however I will not be blinded by the fact that they are giving us the bare minimum

[arctic grove]

People seem to be grateful for any content, even if its rubbish - that's the position we're in

Problem is I see too many folk acting like the drip fed crap we've been given is acceptable, even "good"

[full burrow]

same

I like the game and do want to play it

[silk jasper]

Some key chain after 20 yr anniversary Lmao

[full burrow]

but im not ignorant to their many fuck ups, incompentency, making tiny changes seems big ect

[hasty flume]

My mastery progress dead stopped and won't continue

[arctic grove]

Makes sense

[lilac dust]

The content is made to a high standard... Minus the container crates and another ship, but it's the amount of content that everyone is unhappy about. The 2 new maps are solid, but good content doesn't win your community's trust back until you deliver enough of it

[full burrow]

the little things that you expect to happen regularly like minor stat changes happens once in a fucking blue moon

and then when it does happen its like omggg we are so amazing

[silk jasper]

The new map is IMO overrated, the S1 map is far superior in both how it plays and how it aesthetically looks.

[full burrow]

and actual new content I can imagine it hard for them considering how the game released..

for sure

the new map is a fine map

but its nothing special

[silk jasper]

The new map D1 sector is impossible to defend

The russian spawn is too far away and there is lack of cover from spawn to D1 point

[arctic grove]

No, I disagree - the quality of content has not been a "high standard"

I suppose its high when you consider the state of the game at launch, comparing it to itself - but no the content has been mediocre at best

[lilac dust]

It's astronomically nowhere near as good as Exposure, but I still enjoy Stranded so it's up there with Orbital , Manifest , kailedoscope and Exposure for me

[silk jasper]

I don't think I've ever seen a team be able to defend D1

[full burrow]

there ships interior is pretty small and not much happening on top either, no real flanking routes or height advantage expect for covering a very specific area

and the exterior points are just all their own thing
