š¤£
hour glass is a pain

Damn, can't get u on my squad then
Ping issue
oh no the tornadoes have gotten out of control and buried everything we can see in hourglass under a huge layer of sand
oh no the map doesnt exist anymore....
what a tragedy
Mercuryawa
What
maybe containers are supposed add to immersion
Russians have the red containers and Americans get blue ones
Containerfield
im playing eu4 anyway lol
hard to cope without exodus but I still wonna talk to my bf gang
all caps?
My friend who played 2042 with me doesn't even go online
they love containersss
Controller broke
I found a friend tho, he texted me to piss off cuz I killed him a lot
We still play everyday lol
Too much containers, couldn't find a better cover?
lol
a broke container
a rock with container form
There's nothing inside the container, you're not gonna find your missing package from the containers

Container full of boins
whereās my Ps5 i looked all over those containers
above the boat there are some blue containers that when I see them make me want to drink a coke
idk
Pepsi ads
yes pepsi
Fuck this limited selling of next gen consoles, people still having hard time getting it because of covid š
it do be like that yeah
no
I'm having a hard time getting it cuz I'm broke and they're not shipped here anymore
the next map will be jungle
oh yeah i guess all shipments to the EU are delayed cause the queen died, huh
No I'm in Russia
Ah, that's an entirely separate issue.
Hopefully your government can take the L eventually.
lol
I missed the old days where they used to sell consoles without limited selling
Man the ps store closing is absolutely outrageous, I must go outside and get beaten by police and thrown into jail
probably less gamers back in the old days.
Apparently the xbox ones and ps4s were scalped to hell too.
But it's more painful this time because of the limited resources.
Ask Covid, it caused this damage
I wish there were deals that you could turn in say a 1600 and pay 50 dollars for a 3600x.
Yeah I'm aware.
Motherboards stopped growing cuz of heatwaves
well not just covid on it's own there's also climate change
Hey are there trade in deals at the microcentres in the u.s?
Fair.
I feel as if because resources are going to become less common itll help to recycle our tech.
yeah probably
Slow it down at least.
We got to wait few more years until they fix their shit and have more resource they can sell
The tech isn't there yet
I didn't know the new tank has both the AT missiles and AA missiles at once
yeah, it looks pretty strong if its full
but the descriptor "extreme maneuvrability at low speed" I think is a bit extreme
I only played in the ram a little but I wouldnt describe is as having "extreme" maneuvrability
It's only extreme because it comparison to the tanks it actually has some speed to back it up.
true
What, the RAM?
yh
Should also be noted that the RAM has APS while the other tanks don't.
all that firepower with a premade squad in vc could be a nightmare
Yeah
I've literally seen the RAM fucking BM a tank by activating APS while sitting in front of it, making the tank unable to do anything to it.
Like that's ultimate BM, imagine being a tank player and seeing that. I'd just disconnect.
Though it can't do much in return unfort.
The missile launcher is more ranged orientated.
And that's a different playstyle.
i mean it worked out in the clip i saw
Oh definitely I don't doubt that.
I'm just more concerned about the rate of success.
How many tanks do I need to ram into their behind before I'm successful for example.
I dont remember with what but I flipped an enemy mav upside down
add people work in the game?
Same, going for the 1.5x zoom. 
how do i close the console?
you press ` again
alright thanks bro
I want disable that thing
i mean it's not hard to just not hit the ` key
I need ` button free
if you can edit your keybind then rebind your console key to be another button
then use that button as your bind and you can press the "console key" for that
How
do you really?
does your keyboard come with its own software?
I'm playing on PS5. Should I turn crossplay off? I feel like it's much harder with crossplay on but it might just be in my head.
Off = no pc players
No
' key is very important to me š
is it really?
I use it to throw myself to the ground
I understand. My question is whether it's generally harder to play against PC players while playing on a console or not
Because I feel like it's much harder
I feel like it's subjective because most PC players aren't running this game that well.
Yeah it's kind of difficult to answer the question I guess
the game is going like hell to me
In the games I played, the gun battles are easier won against console players
But again, it might just be in my head
probably.
Some people will say yes but most of the time you probably wonāt even notice, since there are players of all skill levels in every match on both pc and console
But generally pc will have faster reflexes
Google for keyboard mapping software then
that seems like an odd bind, typically i'd bind that to Z.
dont think you can do it wthiout downloading anything but with the software you should be able to set each key to be whatever key you want
I found the solution. I had the idea it could work the same way like in Bf5 and it actually does.
Go to your documents folder --> Battlefield 2042 --> settings and open the "PROFSAVE" file with Notepad++. Search for "enableconsole" and change the "1" a bit further behind into a "0", save the file and voilĆ”.
Here“s the link to the post regarding Bf5 that gave me the idea to use the same method:
Omg
here is something I found on reddit, maybe that will work just as well for you
Im using Z key because i cant use ' š
Alright well I'll just keep trying both on and off out. Thanks
Alright
honestly I wouldn't say so, my subjective death experience hasnt been dominated by other pc players
Seine crossing with 2042 factions, also aow assignments for mp5k, f2000 and spas-12. When, dice?
if you know how to play the game you should be fine
Fuck the MP5K, what about a full sized MP5.
Sure fine
;[
Yes thanks for that way but I know what I said.
But dice, please add more bf3 portal maps
You got so many good maps to use
Dice: 'ok, we added metro"
I take things a bit too literally sometimes lol.
I wish battlefield added more maps with each DLC as they did in BFV and BF1
Thatās the bare fucking minimum
you can download a tool called powertoys, it includes a keyboard manager to rebind key inputs, I would advise against editing the config file
BF1 had premium and BFV had itās content cancelled.
Yeah I know but the concept of adding multiple maps, BFV had the pacific update which added a bunch of maps and so on
Editing the config file is fine.
Especially if itās for something as minor as disabling the console.
it's not, because it will override itself if you change any of the settings ingame
it's not ideal
it depends who made the 1st blow and who got the jump first
Then you set it to read only.
Not having an option for this in-game is not ideal.
How did I see the dude what?
Besides I doubt changing other settings would randomly flip the console back on.
the game has it set to enabled by default, it regenerates itself when the game updates, so yes it will
just remap the key bind and don't fuck with something that can fry your entire game
Quit being so damn dramatic itās a single line in a config file.
and this happened when the game launched, guess what happened after
edit the config file to improve performance! surprise the game didn't function unless you cleared it after the first season
he was standing still as soon as you saw the hit marker he was as good as dead
I know he was standing still but I didn't see him in my initial bursts.
I saw a slight glimmer of red.
laser
I swear I remember seeing a slight glimmer of red through the smoke.
The body lights do shine through the smoke sometimes
I've had this report before. Lasers don't penetrate smoke in this game I don't think.
And if they did. I'd know.
they refract they don't penetrate
Either way.
the beam splits itself it's why it's not straight right through but you still see it
I thought it was a common thing to have lasers show up through smoke
BF4 has the same interaction with green lasers you see them much more than red as it's vibrancy is higher
Was a bf4 thing I remember that vividly.
It was also a BF3 thing.
Sniper glint goes through smoke somehow though
why DICE thought adding death green laser beams would be a good idea is another question
It's more of a psychological thing.
What the fuck are you talking about?
You see green you think of squadmate.
I just use GLS because it's cool. You use it because of psychological functions. We are not the same.
Found the glimmer of red.
No I use it because itās brighter and more easily visible.
The tri beam sight was pretty cool.
But also functionally worthless
Yeah it never really added much beyond it.
Nothing you could really add to that.
Yeah the TBS and GLS were more noticeable from a longer range.
I wish there was an option for auto turn off lasers during ADS, like BF4 had the reverse tactical light that lighted up on ADS.
I just turn off lasers manually.
Oh yeah the Rorsch MK1 had a BLS.
the only slight benefit with the tri laser was it's easier to blind people with, but it's a minor thing
So you can play blueray with your gun? 
Yeah but blinding people with laser sights is not really a useful tactic in BF4. Especially since itās faster to just shoot someone, and youād have to be aiming at them anyway.
If I ever meet you in game I'm going to burn your retinas with it.
not exactly, it's very useful on dark maps
No friendly fire!
OH YEAH.
locker etc means you can see when the beam hits an enemy and know that they're there
I'm not sure if it's still a thing.
Hardlineās fire nades weāre nice
But the flashlight on maps like manifest are so damn bright.
Cool, I donāt play Zavod Graveyard so I donāt care.
Fire bomb out!
on brighter maps it's functionally useless though
I got a bug where one guy was permanently wall hack spotted for me
a detriment if anything as IRV and thermals see the laser
Meh
Oh yeah IRNV and FLIR no longer penetrate smoke.
Good.
I'd proud but not proud to say that I abused that when it was a thing.
colored bullets!
Bipod M240B beaming people through smoke.
Fuckin rat.
when did 2042 have flir
Never.
I don't mind thermals but vehicle thermals are the issue.
Not infantry thermals.
Personally I donāt care for the IR/FLIR sights in BF4. I think theyāre just stand-ins for proper NVGās.
where did it get fixed
BF4
God how long ago was it fixed?
Which did exist at the time.
Long
Itās bullshit that they were not in BF4.
I never use thermals in battlefield normally because I just dislike the sight.
Especially considering the time period
Hardline had a really good replacement for those sights as a result with the night vision goggles.
yeah looking at bf4 tank gameplay it's pretty cheesy
Yeah, which is what BF4 shouldāve had.
"muh tanks overpowered with IVR" - even when the targets become gray at a distance 

Bfv had good tank/infantry balance overall,
Didnāt people in hardline just up their brightness to no need to use those?
Pretty sure white phosphor NVGās existed.
Donāt know why they insisted on green.
GREEN.
Eh so did BF4, you just had people that could play vehicles really well.
Apparently human eye can see more of different shades of green than other colors, so thatās why nightvision is usually green
Yeah but hereās the thing white phosphor NVGās exist
turret turn speed too fast
Is that a gameplay concern or a realism concern.
Gameplay
there's also a condition where people can see much more colour on the spectrum than normal folk can, quite interesting
Eh, didnāt seem to matter that much in BF4.
There's this Australian painter in the u.s that can see it.
Could I have the regular role btw, to post an image
No
not sure why this was considered a complaint tbh the tank cannon needs precise aiming for fragging at a distance

Probably cause of complaints that itās not realistic that a tank turret can turn that fast
Despite the fact that this is a video game where I can jump peak corners with an AR so I donāt see the point in complaining about things like that.
the battlefield playerbase's discrimination towards tank users is legendary
I liked how assault could combo a tank
When the turn speed is slower your angle of attack against the tank is more of a factor
now 2042 has coffin boxes for vehicles than can barely turn their turret, and the damn vehicle
I mean playing in vehicles tends to require a lot of thinking anyway
it promotes sitting at the back of the map lobbing rounds
like if a wildcat wants to track a plane it needs do it cleverly instead of just flicking 180 degrees after the heli flew past
"tOo OveRPoWeReD"
tru
I don't think it's particularly difficult to hover over a vehicle
also vehicles arnt "weak" but if your solo in a tank without extra gunners AND youre not switching to 3rd person mode to check your surrounding dont be suprised that someone snuck up on you
I would like the 40mm removed from the wildcat cause having both anti tank and anti air at the same time is just
Why
cause remember jets are overpowered, or something like that
that was kinda op tho ngl 

nevermind the wildcat having fucking unlimited distance range on its cannon and lock ons
tank is a death box if it wants to actually perform its role
no its not difficult but slower turret speed means you still have to take some time to align with the moving target if youre not facing the right direction
It was nice when taking down a tank solo while in bf4 an lav on Shanghai or gol mud gets a 90+ kill streak
enter third person have high FOV = problem solved
like I said it means you cant just flick a 180 the second something flies by you
there's a balance between those 2
you dont get it
which is where it should be
Tank is a death box because DICE didnāt think to give it APS till over 9 months after the game came out
I do get it it just was never difficult to begin with
they are better ironically now than they were at launch
I never said it was difficult xD
I pretty much don't like if a vehicle is allowed to go uncontested and and ruins everyone else's day
also can we talk about why a wildcat has a third gunner rocket pods
which can beat a MBT
Cough
Anti air tanks on arras and provience in spawn
yeah I do think some vehicles have too many gunner seats
yeah the tank going 100 killstreak should be able to be stopped, but not with just a cheesy solo combo wombo,
but I guess with 128 theres enough people
Well that typically happens because your team is not doing good enough to deal with the vehicle.
Typically requires some coordinated team effort.
Or squad effort at least.
Also people who use transport or attack air as a personal transport and gets out
And if it dosent get destroyed on crash
CondorAirlines
it's in the name
Hell, people understand that in 8v8 competitive matches in BF4.
Qantas rewards program
But i do enjoy sneaking up on a hill camping tank with some dynamite 
Thereās no excuse.
tanks should be given a passive detection system for enemies within 15m
Why
I saw the tank should of thought that before entering an infantry zone
Pay more attention then, dipshit
Tanks should have actual turret speed and accel. Nothing else.
Please refrain from the insults.
why would I want to pay attention I just want to kill people
how can I pay attention when I'm guiding a rocket to a helicopter
Sit in third person and use your eyes.
It's called being in third person
Shoot in first.
why should you be allowed to just kill people freely
And i just want to kill tanks

cause tanks players are higher on the food chain than other vehicle users
it's called natural predation
Like if you get blown up by someone attaching C4 to your tank, thatās your fault.

is an MAV C4 my fault
Yes
you can all just you know shoot bullets at the tank

????
Iām not even sure you can put C4 on a MAV drone in BF4, and whatās the point of shooting bullets at a tank, that does no damage.
maybe m5 rocket launcher can get a 2 rocket AT variant that does better dmg against armour but has minimal splash so its no effective against infa
it's not true actually you can shoot out the driver of a tank in 3 by aiming at the right angle
there's a part which is exposed from the main hit model
If I recall that requires being on the tank itself.
it does but you can also go underneath
Right, Iām sure that works consistently.
you see the discrimination we get whereas infantry gets flying battery missiles
Oh my god dude.
Why wouldnāt anti-tank be the primary purpose of the M5?
I got 4 kills doing it
The bolte gotta get out of the armour and be in some kind of middle ground between recon and armour
Either that or give the bolte's driver able to shoot
the Russian jet has more mobility to the American plane is heavier and it costs to move it with the mouse
as an aviation nut, i've noticed no difference.
i actually prefer the F-35 over it in-game cause of the on-command VTOL.
it is not because I am crazy about aviation if it is not that I thought that the game followed reality and because as it is difficult for me to move the F-35 more than the su-57 I thought that xd
I will have to change to command because there is no noticeable difference
cos the damage is shit as far as I remember
Sounds like it should get a general buff instead of a new ammo type.
yeah maybe but then also they get more variety
Less ammo count but better anti vehicle or an extra rocket and better ability to snipe snipers and shit
Meh, weapon variants are not variety.
bf1 did weapon variants rly well
also will armour piercing bullets go thru containers?
By necessity, and even then, optical weapons were not worth using due to visual recoil.
So you mostly just saw Trench, Factory, Sniper, or Marksman variants.
Storm doesnāt really make an appreciable difference in anything.
I had a lot of fun using the fedorov trench with bayonet training.
(Yeah I was that person)
looking at my stats for bf1 I used mp 18 optical a little bit
I only abused them on bf5.
And even so I usually messed around with them.
I was known for doing it viably in OCE.
Itās really fun just trying to move and then I get fucked up by some bayonet charging asshat that I canāt reasonably do anything about because by the time I can ADS, the gameās already decided that Iām locked in the victim animation.
Just really great.
yeah that too
That sure is a skin
Can you send pic of holding a gun?
Want to see those gloves
If possible on smg āŗļø
Gloves is all I care for
well controller players do
just to clarify cos you can use kmb on xbox right
but yeah its .75 on controllers I believe
Yup they do
also what's this "mouse bug" that i keep hearing about
which one xD
i keep hearing about a mouse bug that's never been fixed
Thereās a weird dead zone with mouse input in this game for some reason. Itās only really apparent if youāre doing things like micro adjustments while shooting
Devs know about it. Itās just that thereās been no fix yet.
xD
Anyone gamin on crossplay?
I couldnt hit a casper drone yesterday but im pretty sure it was lagging
this is a clip tell me what you think
it looks to me like 2 of my bullets literally bounce of the drone
could be and youāre just not really noticing it. which isnāt unusual, only really serious PC players can really feel it.
But like I said, devs know about it. They just havenāt been able to fix it for some reason.
remember when dice said body dragging was coming in bfv
Meh
the amount of times devs go "this is happening. we promise" and then it doesn't is worrying
not just with bf
We did and they couldn't include it because it broke the pace of the game.
They couldn't find ways to make it work with the game.
Exact same thing on controller, it must be baked into the engine
It was functional sure.
EXACT same thing
Yeah there's an engine issue.
too bad the frostbite vets bailed
Possibly. Itās ridiculous that itās been an issue for so long.
I'm not surprised it's like this considering how underdeveloped everything else is.
Itās not surprising but itās disappointing.
what is it's purpose
Itās a funny looking thing
That arm looks broken
Like DICE really released a game like this in the year of our lord 2021
Don't think DICE had any say in when the game will be released.
so oyu know... the thing is out there
a close quarters DMR?
just use an SMG or shotgun?
also i heard the magazines for the AM40 are bugged
Ong it looks like an over modified pistol
The VCAR is a meme gun
They sure are
Thatās still not been fixed.
reminds me of the RSC SMG
Also, the AM40 and Avancys have the wrong headshot multiplier.
with a fire rate like that, and a mag that small, you really only getting 1 kill per mag
They both have the SMG headshot multiplier.
how does that get overseen
Good question
Indeed
The VSS is pretty much your close range DMR.
And that's with short barrel high gassed rounds.
it hard for 10 people to manage a game like this
yea since the VSS is in the game, the VCAR is basically useless
does vcar even have full auto?
no
yeah we gotta manage our expectations a bit :)
didnt think so
it's a semi auto PDW
Iām a bit sick of that phrase by the way
maybe its there for like subsconic rounds stealth without silencer gameplay
Every time it gets said it sounds vaguely condescending
"location revealed"
Like Iām being talked down to for daring to have standards in the current year.
I used to be a paik main
what
but now if I get location releaved I try to rush them
cos they not gonna expect that
also i've never seen so many people in one game that have "TTV" "TV" or "YT" in their username, trying to promote they shit
I said what I said
no i'm confused. what word is it
Wanna sprite cranberry
The phrase āmanage your expectationsā
oh
my expectations are that the game works
and basic stuff like an assault rifle headshot multiplier being on an assault rifle
wanting a working game in the current year look at this guy
i'm tryna think the last game that i bought that worked and was somewhat recent
i think it was an American Truck Simulator DLC lmao
lmao
I posted a clip on /r/Battlefield2042 that got 1,7k upvotes... I initially thought it was impossible for a gameplay clip to gain that kind of traction on that subreddit. It's always cherry picking bugs and low-effort complaining that gains most traction.
Yeah thatās Nintendo, for the most part they make games that work, functionally.
bruh i swear to god
battlefield youtubers are fightin bots
these mfs just sitting around, staring at eachother
Their background footage is just a 'best-of' compilation of their game play
Exactly. They won't show you the times when they flanked and got immidiately killed by someone noticing them.
and he has crossplay on
Never heard of JROB
I mean that only makes sense. If youāre gonna upload gameplay, youāve gotta upload your best.
Plus, some BF Youtubers are different kind of breed. Some of them have god-like gamesense and know exactly how to get behind the enemy at the right moment.
lol
Yeah I got it after typing Battlefield
I remember seeing MaxIQ in multiple Exposure 24/7 lobbies. He was top 1 in every single game.
Maxiq doesnāt stream much these days, I hear.
"this is was 12000 hours shitbucketing looks like"
those are really the only people who make 2042 content. twitch streamers.
He has even more hours than me on 2042, I guess he's a bit burned out at this point.
Most BF YouTubers are burned out I feel, especially after BFV
i don't blame them
Meanwhile I clicked on the first YouTube result and the first thing shown is him ignoring a constantly beeping downed friendly
tbh idk if i'm burnt out, or 2042 just doesn't capture my interest
Yeah no YouTubers enjoyed BFV lol
Yeah he does that a lot. He plays medic and completely ignores his downed teammates.
i think it's burnout because i have no urge to play the other bfs
I'm surprised Jackfrags seems to enjoy 2042 more than BFV, that is during it's lifespan not after it
The game started getting pretty good when Season One came out but Season Two really brought it leagues above in my opinion. It feels really good to play right now
Who agrees?
it's okay
I really think Jackās just trying to get paid here
JackFrags literally made a video during BFV's lifetime that is him just talking about how bored he was of the game, constantly yawning.
yea Jack just gives off that "please play this game so I can eat" vibe
Jack doesn't only play Battlefield to be fair
Jack has always been an optimist. He's passionate about Battlefield in general, and has enough of a following to not need to make constant hate circlejerk videos like some of the other content creators.
I remember during Battlefield 1's lifecycle, Flakfire was pumping out vids constantly
Yeah but his channel is primarily battlefield
now it's rare
And then you got AKA-Art
i don't know much about them
Who has just abandoned YouTube altogether
Pretty sure AKA-Art was done with Battlefield after 2042 launched.
Yeah he just quit YouTubing entirely
He wasnāt doing it
i still watch levelcap
I liked seeing his top plays of the week videos.
although everyone hates him for some reason
everytime he talks about 2042 people cry
idk why. he's not praising it and telling people they're stupid
he just likes it and streams it sometimes and people don't like that i guess
Things could be worse though.
Like, he said in a recent video that he wants Ripple Effect to make a dinosaur extraction shooter.
We could be Halo Infinite
It's funny, before 2042 launched, people complained about him being too negative about 2042. Now that its out, people accuse him of being an EA shill.
yea that was uh
hm
good idea
I donāt agree
Battlefield Fans have been begging for a Dinosaur based mode since like BF3
I think thatās a bit of a ridiculous idea
i don't remember who it was. it was either Westie or Jack. one of them said, during the 2042 beta that "Battlefield is back" or something
pve dinosaur mode would be great, they been giving us easter eggs for ages
There's even a dinosaur charm
It sounds like something Jack would say.
Wouldn't Crawford just single-handedly dominate a pve horde rush mode
it's just an easter egg
i can't think of many examples where an easter egg gets turned into a giant thing
Itās funny thinking about that, coming from the same people who got extremely angry about women in a WW2 shooter
the only thing i can think of is the sasquatch mythos in R* games
Not the same thing. Women weren't invented until 1969. Dinosaurs were invented way before WW2 which would make historical sense.
Apparently crazy shit makes more sense than women
fax
Battlefield fans: āIāll accept dinosaurs, but I draw the line at women existing in WW2.ā
People will be happy to play the dinosaur mode and then while playing it talk about Sundance being non-binary is unacceptable
i wonder how many people actually know they're non-binary
Surprisingly Iāve not seen as much complaining about that as I thought thereād be
regardless, i don't see how it effects gameplay
Team Chat says a lot. In my experience
oh
i always have chat turned off
i used to have it on sometimes to see the rage in chat, but since you can't see the enemy text, there's no point
Maybe Iām not looking in the right places.
But then again, any place where people are complaining about non-binary people is a place I donāt really wanna be in.
oh my god i just realized something
unrealize it
People get super defensive when I correct them on that. It's gotten to the point where I've started doing it specifically to upset them.
what if they add a specialist that's a fuckin prototype android
Thatās funny
Eh
the irony cycle
Nah, I just go "*They" when someone uses "She/Her" pronouns
And then I just a message like "********"
before this turns into a brush fire
Thatās how you know someone is angry
i haven't used the Avancys yet
Just 7 stars in a row
i hear it's literally the best gun in the game
i just unlocked it last night. haven't tried it yet
If not itās damn close
It's called opinions.
I'll hope people will get the same energy to shit on BF2042 when the next BF game comes out
LevelCap has never been the..most critical of people, for better or worse.
But also he never really strikes me as someone who knows what heās talking about
So I donāt really listen to what he has to say
That's healthier
Ignore other peoples opinions
They're opinions
You having fun? great, continue doing that
but i don't want gameplay from people that are shitbuckets with an IV drip of Adderall, streaming 2042 12 hours a day
I don't think there's going to be a lot of 2042 haters remaining once the next game comes out. Hell, people are already significantly more positive about 2042 now compared to launch.
This game was goddawful at launch
The guns didn't work lol
Except pp
So that tainted pretty much everyone
I came back at the end of s01, hadn't touched the game since day..2?
There are some perspectives that I feel are valuable. Like, some people do just verifiably know what theyāre talking about.
PP-29 was still an underrated S-tier gun until the Season 2's SMG nerf.
I'm enjoying it, still not exactly a proper battlefield title though
That's only cause people who hate the game (at least a good 90% of the playerbase) don't talk about it anymore and moved on to something else until next game comes out, you can be sure some people will praise this game once the next one comes out while they shitted on BF2042 during it's whole lifetime
You never know, they may bf4 it and fix it completely in a few updates
I don't have high hopes for that
But y'know, cant blame me for having a little hope
I donāt have much hope for that either.
I'd really like them to do that
As long as itās been, I donāt think thatās happening.
Yeah, chances are slim
Didn't 2042 have the best first week opening of any Battlefield game in history? If they managed to build up that kind of hype after BFV, I guess nothing is impossible.
Hype for the game was high before launch.
i've been telling myself 'this next update will be the one to make the game better' but I'm constantly let down, so they'd have to absolutely knock it out of the park if they want to fix it anytime soon
Probably cause people expected more than what they ended up getting
I mean, most of us just expected a functional game, with bullets that worked
I'll never forget day 1 2042, worst day 1 experience i've ever had lol
I absolutely regret pre-ordering the ultimate edition
I had friends who preordered it or bought it on launch.
Their experiences are why Iāve not bothered.
I remember the first few hours, kills literally didn't even register. The top 1 kills was always at 0.
pre purchased gold edition and was waiting for the trailer since like april 2021
I envy you
Yup, i had several thousand hours in bf4, and was sick of world war era games, so i was hyped for 2042
real
Like people saw the trailer and thought itād be like, a seriously good game, a true love letter to the franchise.
But i am enjoying playing it at the moment, so it's an improvement from the nightmare state that it came out in
I only managed to play a few games during the early access launch, and then it was constant "error loading persistent data".
Hello! What are we shooting with today?
Hey!
AAA
That reminds me, the pilot skin you see in the trailer never actually gets applied to you in game like it used to
smh
Btw, the [REDACTED] project you were working on, was it AM40?
Always GVT
Nope
Gvt best gun
Avancys?
Fellow GVT enjoyer
Also nope š
It does the killing, but most importantly. It's the sound
That whipcrack, so tasty
plus the yeeeeehawwwwww
The new automatic secondary weapon that I forgot the name of?
Not the m95 that's for sure...add it to the full game not just portal pls!
Is the AM40 and Avancys having the wrong headshot multiplier intended? @ripe hedge
Clearly not
Pssst, you could get a huge boost in popularity if you just imported the entirety of BF4 into the game, just sayin š
And is that going to be fixed at some point?
Would probably be no work at all, just copy and paste, that's how coding works
š
SoonTM
I feel like AM40 would start outperforming the SMGs if it had AR headshot multiplier.
Well itās an AR.
Is there a reason why it's considered an AR if it performs almost exactly like an SMG?
because they made it that way
Oh okay
And also broke it
I kinda like AM40 with drum mag.
@ripe hedge also you know whoās responsible for the quote about SMGās from the patch notes? You know the one.
It's because it isn't the val
which one?
Probably because it has a strangely high TTK compared to the other ARs due to its SMG hs multiplier.
āThey are not weapons that should reward accuracy versus other weapon typesā
I might know the person yes, why
Well Iād like to ask them the same question
There's almost nobody ingame with K30 anymore since Season 2 dropped.
were you one of them? š
It's still insanely effective at close/medium range, despite the lowered hs.
Maybe :I
Probably cause ARās have a faster TTK at close range with the new headshot multiplier
I don't bother aiming for headshots with k30, ttk's still insane
just hipfire at body = win gunfight
Not across the map ofc, but y'know
All guns are good, only one that suck are long range rifles (expect bsvm)
I used to play with PP-29 almost exclusively, but with the lowered hs I've started to pick other guns instead.
That gun was so consistently good, even with extended barrel that gun shredded at any range.
Expect those few (3 i tbink) guns, you can shit on anyone
so what you are saying is that it performs more like an SMG should now
I still hold the opinions that the SMG headshot multiplier did not need to get nerfed that hard, 1.5x would've been fine, and that the SMG statement is insane.
True true
fucking flying squirrels man
was trying to revive a squadmate and she just landed on my face and killed me
they* btw
Hey, is there a chance that M16 recoil gets lowered or more balanced ?
I haven't had a problem with Sundance since they hard-nerfed their wingsuit in Season 1 pre-patch. I've killed so many Sundances mid-air since then. Hell, they now sound like a jet engine when they're flying near you.
you mean the visual recoil?
thanks
Idk but I can't really play it correctly with a controller, the weapon's recoil is insane
Yes
The recoil is mostly visual from what i can tell. Just aim with the center of your screen.
Yes ! And will it be during season 2 or after please ?
I tried with multiple scopes on but not easy on console
ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
anyway i'm gonna go pass out.
Map āminor adjustmentsā
i like the changes for renewal and orbital, especially renewal removing the A 1/2 and E obj locations and placing them more towards the center of the map
@ripe hedge Are you happy with the state of weapon balance?
I feel like assault rifles have little variety asides from the scar at the moment.
I'm not sure what you specifically work on but I really need to relay concerns to you regarding it. I think I have a good idea too to bring my concerns.
Hype
Im never happy about it
I know this wasnāt directed towards me but I agree
They all feel kinda bland
Yea
There just aren't enough of them
Drown us in options
Give us a bf4 style selection to choose from
Options doesnt mean Variety
It does mean choice, a lot of the enjoyment in games comes from the collection/completion of things
Think pokemon
but guns
I'm wording this poorly, but you might get the gist of what i mean
All the different guns/collectiony stuff in bf4 was enough to keep me playing well past its prime
man the lmg sprint to fire time is horrendous
i can have my sights on an enemy for what feels like a whole second before the gun actually starts firing
Have you tried a Rust LMG or a Rust AK. It took me 200 hrs in aim train to be able to shoot a straight line.
Oh I'm sorry.
BF recoil is just straight even for an LMG. just pull down. I would like to see more of a skill gap tbh
I'd Buff the AK24 with more damage range to compete against the SCAR.

Give the EVOLY's more recoil.
or just nerf the Sfar >:U
Nerf the scar if the surrounding options when buffed cannot compete properly with the vision.
I love the SCAR and I have a massive bias I will admit.
I would reduce its range to 49M and/or increase its recoil by 10%.
I would also give the AK with standard rounds a 24M 4HK with high powered increasing it to 49M.
Have the AK in the other side have more bullet velocity over the SCAR with high powered if they intend to keep its range.
My biggest issue I have with these battle pass weapons.
this game gonna have campaign?
Is that there is ZERO downside to running extended rounds.
what did they mean by narrative campaign?
The BSV-M and Avancy's have zero downsides using standard extended like...
Is it overlooked?
Vector needs more recoil... Blah blah blah...
I bet the devs love coming in here
I can't speak for them but when people are actually being fair I bet it's just nice.
I meant more, the constant bombardment of ideas, it happens every time
I'd be sick of it lol
"You should do"
"Why isn't there"
"Can you add..."
Ye it's why I feel bad sometimes talking to them.
I like floating ideas around though.
Give us the game we want š
I'm more comp/casual minded so my opinions come in the form of some leniency of things being powerful but make things powerful with proper drawback.
I'm the kind of asshole to bayonet charge you in a competitive match. :P
As god intended
BANZAI.
This is the way
For the most part though.
Weapon balance is fine.
I just feel as if assault rifles could use a little more variety.
They do feel very samey, I'm not too concerned about balance other than the autoshotgun thing, you know, with the slugs and the perfect hipfire
I just want more
Feed me weapons to play with
I do wish the bayonets were back
I don't like stabbing people with a butter knife
I don't like having to use the default takedown, with all the other options available
purely because it's got the shortest animation window
Everything else is fish in a barrel simulator
There was zero reason for the headshot multiplier for ARs to be increased and the SMG's to be decreased too.
Eh
I have several questions about this game
We have countless answers, even to the same question š
Is is playable on the ps4?
Are the new dlc guns going to be free?
And uh
No loot boxes right?
Since it is on the PS store under PS4 that would be a yes: https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/buy/playstation
This is my first Battlefield game and it looks really fun
Don't know Far Cry so couldn't tell you
Welp I hope there aren't many bugs
were loot boxes ever in a battlefield game?
HI! Anyone knows when MOUSE and Keyboard Will be Available for BF2042??
Battlefield 4 had them
oh
Works on my machine
for console?
Logic
they had various cosmetics and weapon attachments in them. I don't remember if you can/could buy them with real money
BF4 + BF1 could be considered to have them
oh k
@lunar finch
Well the Ak uses 5.45x39mm so I donāt really know Iād that would make much sense considering the scar with high power (which is what I assume your referring to) is 7.62
Top 50 Steel Coasters in the world as of 2022
you think they will drop bf2042 pretty much asap after season 4?
The SCAR works long range and AK better in short range, seems balanced to me
Yeah but we were talking about how unique it could be. Personally I donāt think it should be the damage range, but I do think the guns are rather bland and pretty similar
I stopped making any kind of guesses like that š
Whenever you think they zig, they zag
lol like they update the game but m320 is still broken xD
Gunplay looks meaty but stiff
Yet, I don't really see it in-game that much.
People are too busy doing other things I suppose.
But it do need to be fixed.
for me honestly the bringing in of classes is a waste of time those who have stuck around to this point clearly arent bothered by the lack of classes and ontop of that i feel like specalists within classes will be a balancing issue they wont be able to resolve
Can season 3 map just leak already. I wanna get excited for more boats and containers
I want it to have penguins too
š§
dont forget dice fixing the maps by adding sandbags
anybody else feel like the stranded map is pretty bad compared to exposure?
more containers
Kailedoscope rework begs to differ, but I'll play along... I love containers boats and sandbags š¤
more wrinkles in the specialists faces to make them look grittier

they need to lay off the containers and ships to be honest its like groundhog day
I can't think of a single BF4 map that felt annoyingly similar to any other map. Step up DICE
stranded is just the better discarded, discarded should be nuked from orbit
I love the map. It's just lacking originality like exposure
It really doesn't matter. Sometimes you need to break realism to balance the game.
how is exposure lacking originality???
Like look.
Okay I guess I should have replaced the word like with unlike lmao my bad
also the only thing stranded is similar with is cause it has a boatā¦. everything else in that map is good
tranced is fun for quality gunfights
stranded*
When I said like exposure I meant it's lacking originality which exposure has.
i mean stranded has originality
it just feels like they went what entities do we already have for the game that we can throw together in the laziest way to create a "new" map well we have a huge ship and cargo containers ? ok great smush them together and say its a new map
It does but nowhere near as much as exposure
idk i like stranded a lot for how i play
on bt itās just a fun meat grinder, and i love the infantry combat
i literally could care less that is has containers or a boat, itās a fun map
is the visual fix all they did?
yes
back to pso2 i guess
they saw you coming then
cba to play until they fix half of the new weapons
God it's so much of a joke how easy the vector is to use at a range.
SMGS better than ARs
Maybe?
I will say this. Exposure is the better map. Stranded has the better trailer š
It's just a joke that the vector is easy to control at a range.
Both Stranded and Exposure imo
Wait...
The g57 skin you get in the battle pass is missing its extended mag model.
The little thingie.
Plan B that's the name.
@slate meadow no, bad
agreed
looks like a today era glock
Stranded and Discarded are very different and play very different.
Fury 325 again 
its a make of iced tea
No poor excuses. Just move along.
insurgency sandstorm is a really good game it just needs a graphical update
because stranded is better 
Probably just feel better because it is newer
god knows what they did with insurgency sandstorm
i played it for the first time in years and it feels and looks like utter shit
feels better cause it aināt a shit map
mainly for breakthrough
god your just being petty today
*youāre
there is like 5 people talking in here

Brrrrrrrr
Ooo... uh..
Isn't that how's supposed to work
Big yikes

No Discarded is just badly designed that's all
Just like any 2042 launch map

Yes true lol, that's why I can't play it for more than 1 hour straight
For 128 conquest
Yeah the ship in the middle of nowhere with open useless areas everywhere exactly
But oooooo tornado and big map so cool

Lmao 3 tornadoes at once be careful
But true, can't compete with stranded with 2 ships
I do wish we could get some more unique weather
Couldnt even play it cuz i was constantly in the air
Tornados are cool but I mean theyāre the only thing we get
They don't really seem to lower my FPS.
Lmao and some people are saying there are a way less bugs than at launch, everytime they release a new update 100 new bugs come in
Yep
Me too and that's what was initially planned I think
Then what is causing the terrible performance

I dunno
Are you on pc?
128 players, 2km maps, destruction, vehicles
I get about 100fps on 1440p medium with a 3070ti and r7 5800x
Its a joke
Yep
šbro Iām constantly under 60 fps
There is no destruction tho
How can you play like this bruh
Your complaining about 100fps being lowš
there is, it's just mild because if they tried to add any more performance would be even worse lmao
I do just fine
It worked in bf5
