[upbeat sluice]

Soft

[fading hawk]

Don’t Disney channel BF because half the gaming community have absolutely no backbone.

[eager spire]

i'd like to be able to have chat open without having to filter out the dipshit typing out "There are only two genders" because i exist on the server for 7 millionth time.

[fading hawk]

Lol

Make a fair point

[upbeat sluice]

Lol do you put they in your gamertag?

[eager spire]

no it's CEOofTransAgenda

[fading hawk]

I agrée but it’s still a little stupid to PG a war game.

[tawny carbon]

I identify myself as a toaster so I can go swimming 🏊‍♂️

[upbeat sluice]

I mean that's a baity name

[eager spire]

Because EA won't let me put TransGender in my name.

[quaint wigeon]

see i agree with this until ppl start saying racist ass shit and the game wont even do anything about those types of players

[fading hawk]

No man you can’t be a toaster I’m already a toaster.

[eager spire]

I know it's a baity name. But I want more original whining, dammit.

[quaint wigeon]

sorta makes the company look like they back bigotry tbh 🤷‍♂️

[eager spire]

hilarious.

[upbeat sluice]

You're asking for responses with that name. And you want to filter them lol

[fading hawk]

Just make the word in question kick people if they say it

[eager spire]

I wanna filter out the people who just keep typing the same shit over and over

[tawny carbon]

Fuh imma be a Apache helicopter so I can go haywire on lil immature kids or but hurt people

[fading hawk]

Who’s going to want to spend 10 minutes loading into a game just to repeatedly get kicked for saying the N word.

[quaint wigeon]

excellent idea actually and have em on a strike system

[upbeat sluice]

The "bi" in LGBT implies there are only two genders

Lol

[hexed mango]

[quaint wigeon]

tbh league does a pretty good job of that

[eager spire]

I am not going to have this discussion but you are so incredibly wrong it's not even funny.

[tawny carbon]

Am40 better than last patch

[fading hawk]

3 strikes and your out. Or a yellow red card system. Treat the children like they are in school if that’s how they want to behave.

[upbeat sluice]

Has a baity name, gets mad when bait taken. Top lolz

[royal swan]

You know what, I'm going to have the L streak going, if dice keeps the shitty matchmaking system then it will be Ls for days

[fading hawk]

Doesn’t siège have a slur filter that kicks you?

[eager spire]

I don't remember, honestly.

I think it does.

[fading hawk]

Haven’t played it in years

[tawny carbon]

It’s an ar as a smg, ar dmg and ar headshot multiplier with high fire rate, light weight, low damage drop off and high bullet velocity

[eager spire]

...Yeah i know it does actually because there's that article from PCGamer i think where he says he often baits people into getting banned by it by being obnoxiously nice

[fading hawk]

You get banned from matchmaking for increasingly longer times if you say racist stuff

And then permanently banned after a while

If you continue

[eager spire]

not really mad. frankly i can't tell if you're just saying that to be annoying or if you're being serious, i've seen the latter so many times.

[tawny carbon]

R6S is becoming like valorant tbh, tk VC and text chat can result a warning to a ban

[fading hawk]

Don’t mind that at all. Toxicity is fine but draw the line somewhere.

[tawny carbon]

R6S use to be toxic before in the days now it’s meh

[fading hawk]

Although overwatch 2 is apparently going to be listening to peoples voice chats so have fun with that.

[eager spire]

Overwatch 2 is also gonna be a shit game so there's that

[fading hawk]

They’ve killed it before it’s come out

[tawny carbon]

Imma do a ban speedrun then on OW2

[fading hawk]

Just say the letter “N”.. instantly banned.

[eager spire]

Have fun playing through 100 games to unlock all of the original cast if you weren't stupid enough to have bought OW1

[tawny carbon]

Never will say that word, imma make people mad till they report me for being rude and toxic

[fading hawk]

Had punishable word filters on club penguin back in 2005 it’s not exactly a hard thing to implement. Just laziness.

In battlefields sense

[arctic grove]

Facts. Laziness. A plague thats been in the industry for years now

[tawny carbon]

Imma make a Smurf for that reason to see how fast I can get a ban for a speedrun record

[fading hawk]

Instead of making idiots pay for mistakes let’s make the innocent pay for it instead by banning global chat all together. See how no one can have fun. EA games, it’s in the game.

[royal swan]

Man another L game, fuck yeah no W, keep it going dice

[tawny carbon]

Am I the only one that don’t play Val due to they have access to your whole computer compare to easy anti cheat is only access to your ram

[arctic grove]

We can only hope the next bf game does well.

[royal swan]

Fuck everyone else, teamwork is out the window

[tawny carbon]

Personal safety reason

[eager spire]

unlikely. You didn't play Valorant because they have access to your whole PC, I didn't play it because I am not interested in CS:GO made by the League of Legends people.

[fading hawk]

judging by the recent changes on 2042 I’m somewhat hopeful. They’ve also had a big reshuffle of staff behind the scenes. Including bringing in Vince Zampella.

[royal swan]

Hourglass nice a great map for getting Ls

[fading hawk]

Probably going to play “The finals” in the mean time.

[tawny carbon]

I don’t play it because it’s a csgo rip off and OW mixed together

[hexed mango]

vince just works on respawn tho

[tawny carbon]

The finals is gonna be fire, I can’t wait any longer

[fading hawk]

He’s the head of battlefield development at DICE now

[tawny carbon]

Looks fun asf

[eager spire]

3v3v3v3 arena shooter, it'll at least be interesting.

[fiery dawn]

Still suffering from shit map syndrome I see

[fading hawk]

The finals looks crazy good but i don’t know how my PC will cope

All that destruction

[royal swan]

Nah I just accepted all matches I get are Ls so I actively want to get Ls without hurting my kd

[tawny carbon]

I will play it till my laptop blows up, that will be the finals

[royal swan]

Fuck teamwork I'm independent

[fading hawk]

Literally

[tawny carbon]

Then I’ll get a OP streaming pc to run games when it does blow up XD

[royal swan]

Oh they picked a near end match that is you guess it, a L match

[fading hawk]

I have an RTX 2080TI and seeing all these GPUs releasing every year makes me feel like I’m already using a GTX 980.

[fiery dawn]

yeah that’s why I just go ham in the ship on stranded cq and expect to lose lol who cares

[hexed mango]

vince leads Ripple Effect, not dice

[fiery dawn]

Ripple Effect which used to be Dice LA

[hexed mango]

yes

but is now not

[fiery dawn]

But now they go by a different name and they work on Portal

[eager spire]

I have a first gen ryzen and a RX580. I can play exactly fuck all

[tawny carbon]

I just have a normal RTX 2080 max Q in my laptop, it’s from 2019 still kicking 2042 ass running it

[fading hawk]

Dice is still dice even with a fancy name change

[fading hawk]

Probably going to end up getting the 4090 or whatever it’s called in like 6 months.

[eager spire]

why?

[fiery dawn]

Be prepared to upgrade your psu and double your electric bill

[eager spire]

I think it's insulting, what they're charging for that thing.

[tawny carbon]

Same for that dlss 3.0, it’s gonna be awesome for my desktop that imma build

[hexed mango]

technically not, cause dice la is now a different EA Studio, not a sub of DICE

[fiery dawn]

or so I’ve heard

[fading hawk]

Second PC. My long term goal is to have this one in my sim rig and then the new one for game development, music production, gaming etc.

[royal swan]

Y'all care about getting the next new big rtx puke colored 5000

[fiery dawn]

nah

[royal swan]

Oh it cost idk 2000

[fiery dawn]

my 980ti still kicks ass on 1080p lmao

[tawny carbon]

My is gonna be for hardcore gaming, aka max fps and max settings at 4k resolution

[fading hawk]

At least with a 4090 compatible motherboard I can get 128gbs of ram which is needed for game development.

And it’s still very power efficient

[tawny carbon]

Imma get 32gb ram lol

Water cooled 😎 too

[hexed mango]

aio would never work for me

[fading hawk]

I have an AIO at the moment and it’s served me well

[fiery dawn]

how come

[hexed mango]

i have to move my pc every week between two different houses

[fiery dawn]

oof

[fading hawk]

Just get a laptop?

[hexed mango]

hell fucking no

[fiery dawn]

I hate laptops

[fading hawk]

Plug into HDMI and boom

[fiery dawn]

buy another PC

[hexed mango]

no

[fading hawk]

No more lugging a Pc around

[fiery dawn]

😎

[hexed mango]

laptops are ass

[tawny carbon]

Laptop isn’t bad tbh

[fiery dawn]

craptop

[fading hawk]

More convenience

[hexed mango]

fr

[fading hawk]

Less hassle

[hexed mango]

no

its worse performance

[tawny carbon]

Then do game live service streaming then

[fiery dawn]

no way

[fiery shoal]

laptop is a no go for gaming

[hexed mango]

^

[tawny carbon]

Ight then, I secured my point

[fiery dawn]

Our Lord Nyphon has spoken.

[fading hawk]

I have a friend who plays the top AAA games on a gaming laptop perfectly fine with high frames.

[fiery shoal]

you spend 1.5x more for less performance than a desktop counterpart

[hexed mango]

nyphon when are new amd cpus coming out

[fading hawk]

Takes his laptop to the office and then it’s also a work laptop

[fiery shoal]

idk off the top of my head, i dont plan on upgrading any time soon

reviews are out so i would think the cpus are also available too

[tawny carbon]

If you had only 2 choices, nothing else , laptop or game live streaming services, which one you will take?

[fading hawk]

Laptop anyday

[fiery dawn]

laptops are fine for productivity and portability. but I gamed on laptops for years and I will never subject myself to that again as long as I have access to a my desktop

[tawny carbon]

Same

[quaint wigeon]

my dad ran starcraft on his lol

[fading hawk]

I feel you

But still

The convenience is nice for some

[fiery dawn]

if it works for you, more power to ya. it’s just not for me

[wide frost]

sup where can i submit kills ?

[hexed mango]

would you recommend i upgrade my system from i7 10th to something new

[fiery shoal]

depends on the rest of your components and what you are wanting out of your system

[fading hawk]

Rocking an i7?

Fair play to ya

[obsidian lotus]

Anyone elses battlepass challenges not working?

[hexed mango]

rtx3070

[tawny carbon]

Laptop is the best way to go if you move around a lot or don’t want to take up a lot of space

[fading hawk]

Exactly

Different strokes for different folks

[hexed mango]

i kinda want to upgrade my mobo to get better ram, cause rn its limited to like 2999mhz speed

[fiery shoal]

what games, what resolution, what settings, what perf are you wanting?

[fiery shoal]

well to get a new cpu at all thats worth paying money for youd have to upgrade your mb

[tawny carbon]

I’m with a laptop for that reason mainly taking up less space but imma get me a hardcore gaming desktop that imma build and my laptop will be for a second screen for game or ect, on the side

[hexed mango]

ye ik

[fading hawk]

Rtx 3070 with an i7? Wouldn’t you have a slight bottleneck there.

[hexed mango]

rn i have 1080p monitors, i would love to get 1440p
decently high settings, on most games

mainly play 2042 lol, but other games like rdr2, cyberpunk, vr games

[fiery shoal]

10700 and 3070 are a pretty good pairing

depends how you define a bottleneck

[fading hawk]

The i7 seems archaic in my eyes. Amazing to see it works well with something as new as a 3070.

[hexed mango]

i do really want to upgrade my mobo and cpu

and then maybe upgrade ram to something faster

[fading hawk]

That’s like using a Razer keyboard on a sega genesis

[tawny carbon]

I wanna see that new i9 with 4090 performance

[fiery shoal]

thats a weird statement because i7 is a model indicator... a 12700k is an i7 and is a damn good cpu...

so not sure how "i7" is archaic

[obsidian lotus]

I only have an i7 9700k with 3080 Ti

CPU is bottleneck though.

[fading hawk]

The i7 core line came out in 2007 so I’m amazed they are still going instead of moving to better pastures and stopping support.

[quaint wigeon]

they should give the MP28 HP rounds 🙂

[fiery shoal]

ehhh personally id just stick it out with a 10700 and 3070, i doubt upgrading and keeping the cpu will really get you a huge performance boost

[fading hawk]

Gives me hope my 9900k will see me through the next 10 years

Lmao

[hexed mango]

well i want to upgrade my mobo, not keep it

[remote kiln]

it's simply a number to indicate core counts on an SKU, not a physical product

[fading hawk]

I know?

[fiery shoal]

i7 is just a designator, it has nothing to do with better pastures or support

[fading hawk]

I know

[fiery shoal]

idk that last sentence is a really weird statement otherwise

[remote kiln]

^

[fading hawk]

Because the i7 came out in 2007. It amazes me they still build upon that lineup and have gotten to where they are today. See a lot of companies drop support for products after a couple of years.

[fiery shoal]

its like saying honda should stop naming their entry level sedans civic and their mid tier as accords

[fading hawk]

Weird point but okay

[fiery shoal]

because... thats their old names?

[fading hawk]

You are not understanding the point of what I’m trying to say

[remote kiln]

the i7 isnt a product

[fiery shoal]

thats literally the correlation to bringing up the i7 nomenclature

[fading hawk]

IT IS A PRODUCT

[remote kiln]

no, it's not

it's a number, we just explained this to you

[fading hawk]

Your a number

[hexed mango]

You're*

[fading hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/shock-wtf-how-confused-confusion-gif-12307331

It’s a CPU product line

[hexed mango]

but it isnt old

[fiery shoal]

either way, i3,i5, etc naming convention will likely never go away, its pretty common knowledge in the pc world what those indicators mean, so common that even AMD adopted a very similar nomenclature as well

[remote kiln]

it isn't a product line either

[fading hawk]

Who is this guy?

[royal swan]

Got a rush L, I thought we were going to win and I was sad to redo the L streak, but nope the dice gods have bless me with a L

[hexed mango]

he is joe

[royal swan]

Thanks you

[remote kiln]

product lines of processors are derived from their architectures, not the number

that's how support is designated for them

[fiery shoal]

"i7" is more of an idea than anything

[fading hawk]

It’s a product, it’s on the shelf at your Walmart or wherever you guys shop, you buy it.

[remote kiln]

do you see an i7 on a shelf, or a 10700k on a shelf?

[fading hawk]

Yes

[royal swan]

Still talking about over priced computer parts that are not worth it at all, lame

[remote kiln]

[fading hawk]

They sell processors as standalone computer parts you know?

Which makes it a product

Do you not understand

[remote kiln]

dudes clearly just baiting nyphon

[hexed mango]

yeah but an i7 isnt the product

[fading hawk]

But it is

[hexed mango]

not "i7"

[fiery shoal]

at this point i hope, thats the better alternative

[fading hawk]

I7 is a product line

[remote kiln]

if he's not I feel sorry for him

[fading hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/charlie-chaplin-modern-times-production-gif-7401366

[hexed mango]

an i7 10th gen is a specific cpu

[fading hawk]

Is Scotlands education system lacking?

[hexed mango]

"core i7 10th gen"

[remote kiln]

you should probably look in the mirror dude

[fading hawk]

Ironic

[fiery shoal]

i thought princess diana was supposed to be nice

[fiery dawn]

I left for 2 mins

[fading hawk]

Until she died

That’s George Michael anyway

The joke is the hair

[remote kiln]

rebel what's your ign on 2042?

[hexed mango]

rebelsauce

[fiery dawn]

yuh

[hexed mango]

but with an I not an L

[remote kiln]

I saw a dude named rebel12 and thought it was you lmao

[fiery dawn]

yeah technically it's rebeisauce

because rebelsauce was taken

lmao rip

yeah I'm never on 2042. i play like once a week maybe

yes

[fading hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/school-time-to-learn-adventure-time-library-gif-4472291

[quaint wigeon]

yeah its better now

[eager spire]

from what i heard, yes, now that it actually works properly.

[remote kiln]

eh I'd say yes

[fiery dawn]

If you guys know FromTheH3avens from this discord I've seen him in-game before as well as Uber_Panzerhund

[remote kiln]

AM40's more reliable at range

[quaint wigeon]

id say yes only cuz i prefer ARs more

[fiery dawn]

Those are the only 2 dudes from this discord who I've run into in-game

[fading hawk]

Man made several terrible points and changed the subject

[fiery dawn]

yessss AR chad

[eager spire]

Answering someone else's question
"OH YOU'RE CHANGING THE SUBJECT"

[quaint wigeon]

🤝

[fiery dawn]

he didn't change the subject somebody asked a question and he answered :P

[fading hawk]

The “i7” is a line of products and the 10th Gen is a product within that line.

[quaint wigeon]

if you have the 12m unlocked use it

[remote kiln]

ran into a guy who doesn't speak here anymore yesterday was why I was curious

[eager spire]

yes but you are not just buying an i7, you are buying an i7 10600k or whatever the fuck

[remote kiln]

he's delusional don't listen to him lmao

[fading hawk]

Just like your iPhone 12 or 13 is a product in the line of the “iPhone”.

[fiery dawn]

[royal swan]

Nooo my L streak, I lost it

[fading hawk]

Your delusional

[royal swan]

I got a w Damit

[eager spire]

you're

[wide frost]

damn

[fiery dawn]

you're

teehee

[wide frost]

L+ratio

[fading hawk]

Oh no… anyway.

[fiery dawn]

[wide frost]

[fading hawk]

[wide frost]

[royal swan]

[fading hawk]

[fiery dawn]

[remote kiln]

you tried the renewal rework rebel?

[fading hawk]

[royal swan]

Gotta get my multi kills, just 2 more now.

[fiery dawn]

not yet, been at the beach for like a week. updating my game rn

[wide frost]

good luck

[royal swan]

C5 on transport on rush works well

[remote kiln]

I'm mixed on it tbh

[fiery dawn]

Yeah that's been my general reaction to the other map reworks

[fading hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/steve-harvey-scared-nope-no-way-shake-head-gif-4834817

[fiery dawn]

They feel better for a bit and then you play for a while and it's not much different than before

[remote kiln]

it's more tight knit but like the amount of meat grinder situations is yikes

[fiery dawn]

I think "rework" is giving a bit too much credit

[eager spire]

i've heard it compared to a BF1 map

[fiery dawn]

Anything is better than a wide open field tbh

[remote kiln]

it's pretty similar with the new objective layout yeah

[fading hawk]

It felt pretty good on the first play through but it quickly became a bit boring. There doesn’t really feel like there’s much flow. It’s just Chaos.

[fiery dawn]

Yeah typical 2042 feel

[remote kiln]

yeah compared to the old one it's night and day, RU have a massive advantage on this rework design though

[fiery dawn]

Gotta run for now I'm updating and will try it out in a bit tho

[eager spire]

Yeah, map flow has been a general problem with 2042 maps. It seems like DICE just can't figure that out.

[fiery dawn]

yike

[hexed mango]

i like the renewal rework especially on rush, better flow for sure

[fiery dawn]

guess I'll see when I hop on

[fading hawk]

On maps like Caspian Border there’s a clear flow to the game.

[fiery dawn]

peace

[hexed mango]

and i mean the changed assets are nice as well

[eager spire]

Caspian Border
???????

[remote kiln]

the US spawn gets funneled to one objective and RU's spawn hasn't changed, so they've got clear lines to 3 objectives

[fading hawk]

Yes big huge open map

[eager spire]

The map that's just 90% vehicle space?

[fading hawk]

Like 2042 maps

A big open map on BF4 flows better than a big open map in 2042 of similar size.

[eager spire]

yeah i guess

[hexed mango]

ngl caspian is a poop map

[eager spire]

yeah, caspian is not a good map

[remote kiln]

it has double the playercount so it's not really comparable

[eager spire]

sorry to say

[remote kiln]

BF4 "big maps" are tiny in scope compared to 2042's

[fading hawk]

It’s like “okay I go in this direction now” instead of running into the middle of the ship 6-7 times trying to find enemies only to be sniped from 1000m away.

[remote kiln]

golmud is the equivalent to renewal

then there's hourglass and what not

[eager spire]

fuck Golmud

absolute dogshit map.

[keen loom]

[warped pulsar]

I crash very often now

[remote kiln]

you're saying you don't like getting soflam'd from across the map?

[eager spire]

i'm an infantry player. I just don't like the map in general.

[fading hawk]

They just needed to look at what made BF4 successful. Even though they don’t have the same developers and all the talent has gone. You could at least do a mindmap or a spider diagram on what to do and what not to do.

[remote kiln]

not a true battlefield fan defo a COD player exposed

or something as it goes

[eager spire]

shut face

[dusk trout]

didn't u hear new COD is coming out, just the game for you

[fading hawk]

Borat?

[eager spire]

MW2 is a dogshit game, i won't be playing it.

[eager spire]

?

[fading hawk]

Activision sends their apologies from their golden toilet.

[remote kiln]

2042 was inspired from battlefield 4 with map design, but it was intended to function as a BR before being rerun to conquest and what not

firestorm and BF4 as some weird hybrid mix essentially

which is why they all got rebuilt

[fading hawk]

Yeah I see that. It’s evidently A BR game repurposed at the last minute.

[eager spire]

and then DICE were told that BR's aren't cool anymore so they were like "uh shit"

[dusk trout]

they definetly missed the BF4 part

[mystic sinew]

So more cover now huh?

[dusk trout]

more containers yes

[remote kiln]

it's not really something that works anyways you can't repurpose a BF4 map into a BR they are too linearly made for conquest, dunno what they were thinking

[mystic sinew]

Cool more shit in the way lol

[fading hawk]

They could’ve at least stuck to their guns and maybe brought some sort of rivalry to the scene.

[dusk trout]

should change the name to Shipping Dock Simulator 2042

[fading hawk]

Now the BR space is just Warzone

[remote kiln]

no the objectives have been rebuilt for half of the map, it isn't just more cover

[fading hawk]

It’s improved tenfold

[remote kiln]

kaleidoscope 2.0 aka

[fading hawk]

But still lacks personality

[eager spire]

Blood Hunt exists, and Fortnite still does.

[dusk trout]

Renewal is much more to play now.

[fading hawk]

Fortnite is still around which amazes me.

[eager spire]

i'm not really surprised.

I'm more surprised that you're surprised.

[remote kiln]

was always a game that would stick around

[fading hawk]

GTA 5 levels of zombiism

[remote kiln]

highest grossing shooter game of all time now

[fading hawk]

Wouldn’t be surprised if in 10 years it’s still going strong.

[remote kiln]

it will be

[fading hawk]

Like CSGO.

[dusk trout]

moms credit card goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[fading hawk]

Or GTA 5

Generational games

[tall portal]

bf4 sucks

[remote kiln]

epics development cycle for the game is very how you would say laborious, terrible is another word so fortnite is essentially the first "forever" game

[tall portal]

the bad company was the best

[dusk trout]

who asked

[arctic grove]

Fortnite moment

[fading hawk]

Certainly took the cash cow model and fucked it in the backside.

[tall portal]

who cares

[dusk trout]

ey i like your style

[tall portal]

yes

praise me

[remote kiln]

how the game development cycle works aswell, they contract out massive salaries to independent developers who spend 60-70 hours a week on content for a few months before leaving

[dusk trout]

your taste is still trash tho, but we don't have to agree on everything

[fading hawk]

That sounds inhumane

[remote kiln]

it is

[fading hawk]

Fuck that

[remote kiln]

the developers know about it too, they just do it for the money then leave

[tall portal]

I tasted your mother last night

[remote kiln]

if you don't meet deadlines they automatically terminate you aswell

[fading hawk]

That’s dreadful

[remote kiln]

it's not as bad as it sounds, weirdly enough

[fading hawk]

I suppose epic games is partially owned by Tencent.

[remote kiln]

some folk do enjoy that burn cycle

[rocky kraken]

burbn

[remote kiln]

I'm definitely not one of them, but I've met some of them

[dusk trout]

people work for money, how dare they

[remote kiln]

there's a difference between working, and slaving

[fading hawk]

Can’t exactly expect them to be morally right when they are run by a bigoted monopolised Chinese Disney.

[tall portal]

no

[remote kiln]

tencent don't actually control the company

they can't anyways they don't hold a majority of epics shares

[fading hawk]

I’m sure they have a large say in what happens though

[dusk trout]

i remember the days when Bob Ross was wholesome

[remote kiln]

theyd like to but it's 99% just tim Sweeney's direction

[fading hawk]

Tencent are like the gaming mafia

[remote kiln]

tencent have been vocal to him numerous times that they don't agree with him but there's nothing they can do

[fading hawk]

Tim release Skyrim every year sweeney

[remote kiln]

essentially

[fading hawk]

Beat a dead horse even more

[dusk trout]

just like Rockstar with GTA

[remote kiln]

he fostered the development culture in epic today, it started a long time ago when unreal engine was in development

[fading hawk]

I’m looking forward to this new Hogwarts game that’s coming out

Looks refreshing from the usual shit that’s released every year.

[dusk trout]

ah yes the hairy wizard game

[remote kiln]

it works for epic anyways they make record revenue's from fortnites cyclical content, no other developer can compete with them

[fading hawk]

Your a hairy wizard Harry

[dusk trout]

does it have battle royale?

[fading hawk]

True. Similar to Rockstar I guess.

[remote kiln]

more or less

[fading hawk]

It’s called Hogwarts legacy btw

Looks amazing

[dusk trout]

yeah, seen the trailer

at the same time bf2042 trailer was good too

[fading hawk]

Nice to see they didn’t go for the cash cow thing of having Harry potters face on the cover.

And in the game

[remote kiln]

funny thing about the 2042 trailer is it wasn't actually the originally planned marketing material

[fading hawk]

It got leaked to death by the time it came out

Ruined the anticipation and surprise

[remote kiln]

there was actually an entirely separate video planned but it had to get scrapped weeks before the trailer date was due, so the fan one was pieced together on a non existent budget

[fading hawk]

They just fucked it

Royally

[remote kiln]

think it was $1.7m burned on the original material if I remember right

[dusk trout]

we have a new BF too look foward to and be disappointed about

[fading hawk]

There’s still BF mobile to look forward too /s

[dusk trout]

how did i forget about that

[remote kiln]

I'm actually looking forward to the mobile port, it expands the franchise to an entirely new audience

not that I'll play it

[fading hawk]

Or is that already available

[remote kiln]

dunno tbh

[fading hawk]

It’s on the play store?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ea.gp.odessa&hl=en_GB&gl=US

But not IOS

[remote kiln]

beta was in June so isn't out yet

[fading hawk]

says it was last updated 27th September

[remote kiln]

yeah the port team will be updating the game with content etc

[fading hawk]

Ooh

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/battlefield-mobile-tech-test-faq

[dusk trout]

don't even have it on my playstore

[fading hawk]

Weird

[remote kiln]

the beta is whitelisted to certain countries only

isn't available globally

[dusk trout]

the graphics on the images look amazin tho

[fading hawk]

Not going to be hard to beat cod mobile really with most of their playerbase being AI

[remote kiln]

funny thing about that is its generated $1.5b in revenue on the mobile port

been out for a year only

[fading hawk]

Top of the line flagship Phones nowadays are as powerful as your Xbox 360 so it’s exciting to see what they’ll do.

[fading hawk]

Jesus

[remote kiln]

competing with the mainline games in just IAP, kinda crazy when you put it by comparison

[fading hawk]

Shows you what can be done when they have unrestricted access to IAP and lootboxing the fuck out of their games.

[dusk trout]

just watched a guy play the bf mobile alpha, maps are pretty good actually

traversal

[fading hawk]

Hopefully people can’t just plug their mouse and keyboard into their phones

[remote kiln]

you can

android has native support for mouse and keyboard

[fading hawk]

They have destroyable environments on Battlefield mobile holy shit

[dusk trout]

people run those games on PCs with emulators, bluestacks etc.

[fading hawk]

That’s just sad

[remote kiln]

they won't need to, all you need to do is have a usb c convertor or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse

phone will use it by itself

[fading hawk]

Or even a controller

[remote kiln]

controller works aswell yeah

[fading hawk]

Apple now supports most console controllers

Whereas before it was only proprietary controllers licensed by them.

[remote kiln]

it's mostly just because apple will be launching their own game streaming service soon

still as restrictive as ever

[arctic grove]

I hate Apple with a passion

[fading hawk]

They already have Apple TV?

The app not the product

Apple TV+

With original shows and stuff

Not sure how a streaming service would look different to that

[remote kiln]

I think you're referring to apple arcade, it's similar but it's support is variable between different devices

the next one will be unified across all apple platforms, MacBook TV phone etc

[dry coral]

omfg i am actually gonna lose it. I am trying to play and for some reason, i can't play portal and i get booted to the main menu when i try and play a normal gamemode

[fading hawk]

It’s this

[remote kiln]

yeah so you can't play certain games through that on the M1 Mac for example

[fading hawk]

No that’s like their terrible version of Netflix

Oh you mean like a game streaming service?

[remote kiln]

right

[fading hawk]

I’m not following

My bad it’s 2am

[remote kiln]

Xbox game pass style streaming etc

[fading hawk]

Ooh

Tough to compete with gamepass

Or even Netflix

But Apple always find a way

I suppose with stadia heading for the bin it gives them some space in the market

[remote kiln]

yeah I doubt theyll succeed, Xbox already have 50ish million subscribers for the service

bit too late to the party

[fading hawk]

Yep

Gamepass is like the gaming equivalent of Netflix in their prime

Just not going to get close to it at all

Even if you force it onto peoples devices

[remote kiln]

the acquisition of blizzard is the final nail on the coffin for other services at this point

call of duty and world of Warcraft for free is something you can't compete with

[marble thistle]

Kinda want to use Casper but don’t wanna use his drone. That drone is not my style

[dry coral]

sorry to interrupt but if someone can help me out that would be great I am trying to play and for some reason, i can't play portal and i get booted to the main menu when i try and play a normal gamemode

[fading hawk]

I don’t really mind that given the state of blizzard at the time and how they were basically drowning in controversy. We’ve seen how capable Microsoft can be. And I’m pretty sure their working environment will be a model for when they reshuffle Blizzard around.

[remote kiln]

oh yeah I mean the only thing that can save blizzard is a buyout at this point

[fading hawk]

Hacking at their own knees

[remote kiln]

they ruined warcraft and overwatch with their development cycle, least Microsoft will fix the entire company

[fading hawk]

They’ve proved themselves with the way they’ve handled gamepass. But yeah I’m not exactly a fan of the monopoly they have over the industry after the acquisition is finalised.

[errant scarab]

Mouse input delay is bad

[wild marlin]

why wont my dozer mastery 4 outfit unlock

[remote kiln]

? it's much better now than before 2.1

[fading hawk]

Apparently they are planning to eventually have every call of duty title on game-pass. Which would be insane.

For a couple of quid a month

[errant scarab]

Still bad

And perfomance too

[remote kiln]

do you have future frame rendering on?

[fading hawk]

Wondered why my mouse felt shitty

Had to turn my sensitivity up

[remote kiln]

correct

which is why Microsoft aren't too bothered about cod on PlayStation

[fading hawk]

Would probably revive a lot of older titles as well because at the moment you can either play modded out versions on PC or fork out the £60 for world at war and then get anally fucked by modders.

[errant scarab]

Bf4 mouse is perfect

[remote kiln]

turn off future frame rendering

and make sure your settings aren't configured with controller, they interfere with kbm

[royal swan]

73 on bp

[errant scarab]

I do

[royal swan]

Mostly depending on missions now

[remote kiln]

that'll be why then, the settings have to be the same

controller settings override kbm options

[fading hawk]

Really? … wow the incompetence is insane.

[remote kiln]

yes Floris talked about it a while ago, affects a whole bunch of people who change a setting unknowingly

[fading hawk]

I feel like you’d have to hardcode it in the game for something like that to happen

[remote kiln]

I had it for a while before realising what was going on

it's pretty easy to fix it's just a stupid decision

[fading hawk]

Even with unreal engine controller and keyboard support are two different entities.

And they don’t interject unless you force them to

[remote kiln]

it was something to do with how aim assist interacts with the game, something like that anyways can't remember the exact reason

but if your kbm feels off adjust the settings and it'll fix itself

[fading hawk]

Felt a bit like my mouse was a controller joystick

[remote kiln]

there's a video on what to do give me a sec to get it

https://youtu.be/mONwC7L2lCE 20 seconds in are the settings you need to change ingame

[rocky kraken]

to be fair

if 2.2 is as good as 2.1

that would be a very good sign

[slender isle]

It should be. Same amount of content and fixes as this one, with possibly the vehicle balance changes

[rocky kraken]

i mean

the vault weapons do so much

if they add like 3 vaults per update

plus like 3 new bp guns

i would be happy

[slender isle]

We'll probably start seeing more vault guns added. The next update is mid october with the liquidators event most likely

[fading hawk]

I have some sympathy as I know what it takes to develop these video games but holy fuck you take incompetent and you decide to marry it and run away to Thailand.

[rocky kraken]

im glad they are doing events

[slender isle]

These are more "start of season" update materials

[remote kiln]

it was a deliberate decision to do with supporting controller fully I dunno it's a pretty stupid decision but meh least it's easy to fix

[rocky kraken]

hopefully the liquidator event is more than just cosmetic and a new gamemode

maybe a new weapon or something?

idk

[slender isle]

I hope so too. But the cosmetics can be earned through challenges which is always good

[rocky kraken]

yea

i hope they set up event content gameplay wise

it would be a good opportunity

so that the season doesnt get stale

[dry coral]

hey does anyone know how to fix the bug where i cannot play portal matches of anykind and when i attempt to queue for normal matches, it goes to the black screen, only for the game to kick me back to the main menu without an error?

[rocky kraken]

i think they should add remaining smoke with the destruction

would add alot

i wish vehicle carcass aactually stayed around for more than .5 seconds

they just dissapear

[lilac dust]

and I wish reflective surfaces actually showed our character and we weren't just a ghost but I guess in the year 2042 we're all ghosts and mirrors are an illusion

[rocky kraken]

ah

wwait they dont show us?

damn

[worthy inlet]

@oblique dove please keep that to #streams-and-videos

[oblique dove]

Okay will do sir

[quiet shell]

I wish DICE had a different way of IFF instead of those glowing lights because you can see those lights from MILES away and they unfairly reveal your position in darker sections of the maps

[calm bison]

Gamer moment

Still have no power

But I’m currently getting data to my phone

So that’s pog

I guess

[errant scarab]

I want play only stranded breakthrought

[arctic grove]

require help

does anyone know why my game on pc is just a black screen when i try to launch

[remote kiln]

the game initialises itself, boot the game don't touch anything and allow it to enter fullscreen

[bleak scroll]

whats the clip?

[granite island]

Bf2042 transport heli pilots try not to constantly move when I'm shooting someone (impossible)

[fiery shoal]

finally ran into my first 100% hacker

[rocky kraken]

ive never seen a hacker

i have 600 hours

[fiery shoal]

79-12, joined late

every time i entered line of sight i was instantly killed

even when i parachuted directly above him

[dapper river]

Man, 12 deaths even with cheats. That's just bad game sense right there

[upbeat sand]

Easy anticheat is ass

It just stops you from modding the game

It's only up to the game moderators to stop cheaters

DAMMIT EASY YOUR TOO EASY

[hexed mango]

drum

[rocky kraken]

the super hind is so brokebn

lol

the osprey got a new cockpit look

[fiery shoal]

their team lost bad too

[keen karma]

Why bf became cod

[edgy oriole]

Me and an AOD boy inf v wildcat earlier today and won.

[hexed mango]

broken as in OP? cause i thought they just nerfed it again in the last update

[edgy oriole]

You see the vid I posted a few hours ago?

[stiff pollen]

They consistently nerfed the transport heli to the point I’m shocked when I get assist points when I’m flying it now

[slender isle]

Transport heli is still a tank in the sky

[keen karma]

BF3 still alive in pc?

[slender isle]

Depends on your region

[keen karma]

North america

[slender isle]

Then yes it is definitely alive during those peak hours

The other games are still more alive though

[hexed mango]

no i was locked out of my car for an hour

and before that i had karate and before that i had other shit

and before that i had school and before that i was waking up

[arctic grove]

I've never had this happen

andd I always fuck around with other things on my pc waiting for it to load

[remote kiln]

[arctic grove]

y is this happen

[rocky kraken]

what belt are you

[hexed mango]

something

its like black with a brown stripe

[arctic grove]

Renewal and hourglass needs to be removed those maps sucks so bad

skill issue

[arctic grove]

I think u bad

[arctic grove]

I think you bad. Better look up my stats noob

sez the one complaining about core maps

Ok?

[arctic grove]

Ok “Pc player”

xB4TGANG

What’s yours

mm not bad not bad

[summer zenith]

Hello guys

[hexed mango]

stupid steam

[thick shadow]

Yo is it just me or is 128 conquest actually dead even with crossplay

[summer zenith]

Cod vg is dumb

They where the ones that didn't want a throphy system bcuz realism and now we get laser weapons and stuff

[fiery dawn]

so uh, 2042 is really fun now

they improved mouse input and I can feel it big time

yo I would try not to ping the mods or staff unless they're already active in the chat

they dislike it

[final lintel]

going ham on da bots

[next onyx]

Bot part wasn't exactly the highlight. It was more round the sounds associated with multi kills.

[final lintel]

@next onyx i know obviously. i was just commenting that you were going ham on them. relax Komi-san

[next onyx]

Lol fair

[tame cobalt]

mostly players tbf

kinda weird that that gate is seemingly the main chokepoint now

perhaps they should've moved the main gate to that spot

or at least closer

[errant scarab]

Add 3 arm reload

[tame cobalt]

I just want that white m5 legendary that was leaked

[abstract crow]

Hey there, fellas

Whats new with the update

Not that I would even consider reinstalling that piece of garbage

I just want a chuckle with how they consistently manage to underdeliver

[slender isle]

Yeah yeah yeah, 3 new guns, reworked map, heavy balance changes, bug fixes, new vehicle. Basically all you want from a mid season update

And each update after this will have the same amount of content or more

[abstract crow]

Chuckle at the new guns part

Did they even rebalance them for the main game?

Or ctrl+c ctrl+v them like they did the m16 and m60

[mossy badge]

do you have any idea how much difficult is to add concrete blocks and sandbags on map you really think they got time for balancing guns

Wait for 3 months

[edgy oriole]

@hexed mango @keen loom

[next onyx]

The p90 has been balanced against the 2042 weapons really well.

[keen loom]

[next onyx]

So far as I've been told it's a copy paste of the mp9 except with a faster reload.

Experiment and see for yourself.

[keen loom]

Smh

[edgy oriole]

You gonna install ww3? Imma do it when I get home

[placid echo]

When the AI helps you more than the actual players https://streamable.com/vi07e0

[white geyser]

Godspeed kills other speedsters and steal their powers too

[keen loom]

Guess I’ll get rid of god speed

[whole marlin]

Cgi so bad I belive it was made in 1980 by a group of kindergarten children😭

[white geyser]

You can't kill a god

[keen loom]

[placid echo]

Another neat thing about the AI is that it'll check if you need ammo before throwing it to you if you requested it https://streamable.com/3gkarv

[mossy badge]

that's cool
cute ai

[edgy oriole]

Selfish ai just like players

[next onyx]

P90 range; 29M 5HK / 49M 6HK and beyond that a 7HK
P90 S Range; 20m 5HK / 40M 6HK and beyond that a 7HK as far as I've tested.

This thing is amazing.

[hexed mango]

how is it selfish if it would be more selfish to ask for ammo without needing ammo

[edgy oriole]

Not selfish just prepared

[whole marlin]

What if ur about to push obj and need full ammo:(

[hexed mango]

prepared for nothing

uh the entire point is that you already have full ammo

[tame cobalt]

have u played renewal 2

[edgy oriole]

Watch my video

[whole marlin]

More ammo=less chance of dying

[hexed mango]

watch the video, when he is at full ammo, the ai doesn’t drop ammo, but if he isn’t at full ammo, it’ll drop

[edgy oriole]

[hexed mango]

i did

[hexed mango]

yes

[whole marlin]

Nah

[tame cobalt]

thoughts

[edgy oriole]

Thots

[tame cobalt]

Prayers

[fiery dawn]

isn’t it fake?

AI never plays as specialists

Unless they just changed that…

[tame cobalt]

true

since when can ai be dozer

[fiery dawn]

or angel

[tame cobalt]

that's pretty funny ai behaviour tho

the way he instantly turn around and runs toward you with ammo then runs away

Love it

And the way he slowly looks down at your feet

[whole marlin]

He got the [AI]

[fiery dawn]

You could just put that in your name though

RYAD S. KOSAREVA [AI]

Be pretty easy to give yourself an AI looking name

Although the weird part is he’s got a full squad with AI names all playing as specialists

So if it’s fake then he must’ve gotten 3 people to participate I guess? I don’t really know

[errant scarab]

the portal server close if i'm not inside?

[hexed mango]

good

[tame cobalt]

is the main gate getting enough action tho

supposed to be the main chokepoint

[hexed mango]

idk about for cq, i don’t play cq, on rush tho it’s nice

[tame cobalt]

mf doesn't play cq

how bout bt

should they add the solar station as bt first sector

i think they will

Surely

seems designed for that

[winter vault]

This game is buttcheeks

And not the good kind

[placid echo]

Portal code

You can set players and ai as different specialists and change their loadout if you want to

[icy prism]

Hey lads. Haven’t played 2042 since halfway through season 1. How’s season 2 been? Been getting a battlefield itch to come back and give it a go

[placid echo]

It's been quite fun for me

[icy prism]

I saw they added a few portal guns into the normal all out warfare portion of the game

Forgot what they were tho

[chilly jacinth]

m16, m60, p90, gol magnum and m1911

[icy prism]

Oooooo 1911 you say?

Also for the season 1 guns, do you just do a challenge for em now if I didn’t unlock the back in season 1?

[chilly jacinth]

yes

[icy prism]

Dope. At least I can unlock those still

[slender isle]

Same goes for vehicles and specialists

[icy prism]

I see. That’s good. Nice to know I can still unlock that stuff

I do want that 1911. I always have the 1911 as my secondary whenever it’s available in a fps game I’m playing

[lucid goblet]

this is the challenges to unlock it 👍

[dry coral]

ok i am at my wits end. I cannot for the life of me, figure out why I cannot play portal matches and cannot get into any normal matches without the game putting me back into the main menu

[tame cobalt]

it's interesting that devs still haven't figured out a good way to communicate weapon stats

[dry coral]

ok wow, i can for whatever reason, boot up normal breakthrough

[chilly jacinth]

im pretty sure they don't show certain stats on purpose

[tame cobalt]

those bars are kinda useless tho

like what do they even mean

[chilly jacinth]

they mean stuff and things

[tame cobalt]

just add an advanced stats page

with ttk graphs and shid

[obtuse adder]

[chilly jacinth]

nah

[tame cobalt]

bruh

[chilly jacinth]

the less people know the better

[obtuse adder]

[tame cobalt]

i mean

[knotty plank]

Anyone else getting really bad screen flickering with this update??

[tame cobalt]

if the balancing is decent the graphs shouldn't reveal any meta shit to the average player

just shows you actual useful stats on what the unique weapon does

that's the point of showing weapon stats

so why not do it better

[obtuse adder]

[dry coral]

and of course i get ignored...

[tame cobalt]

[obtuse adder]

[obtuse adder]

breathes in what system and region do you play in and do you have crossplay turned on?

[tame cobalt]

[dry coral]

NA PC and yes, i legit did not have any issues until last week, and this week it's gotten significantly worse

[chilly jacinth]

do you not get any error codes?

[dry coral]

none

https://imgur.com/a/GPFXBBx

this vid show what im talking about

[chilly jacinth]

hmm it just denied your connection

[dry coral]

and i can't even play portal for whatever reason

[obtuse adder]

this has only happened to me a couple of time but like you mentioned, Breakthrough seemed to never fail to join even a low populated game. Do you run a VPN when playing by chance?

[dry coral]

nope

i tried to join breakthrough again and it did that shit

[obtuse adder]

as in, the same issue is happening when you trying to play official portal playlists? Just booting you out?

[dry coral]

official or on hosted experiences

actually with portal it just won't do anything on hosted experiences

[quaint wigeon]

it truly amazes me how the true colors of a player show when they start off against AI then play actual players

[chilly jacinth]

have you tried verifying your files?

[quaint wigeon]

mfs can be so dogshit its crazy

[dry coral]

i did that multiple times and even reinstalled the game

[obtuse adder]

how long has this problem persisted?

[chilly jacinth]

have you also reinstalled EAC

that thing can get fucky too

[dry coral]

since tuesday last week

[dry coral]

uhhhh i don't know how to, tbch

[chilly jacinth]

google it

explaining through text here is poopoo

[errant scarab]

put 2 weeks free 2042 for more players

[dry coral]

nope, nothing

[bronze stirrup]

I forgot how much people on ps4 play bfV like a pussy

[dry coral]

im at a loss as to what is causing this issue, since i googled it and that solution didn't work either

[obtuse adder]

You can try making a post on the official EA forums for 2042, sometimes community managers got some answers but that's the only thing I can think of

sorry, bud

I don't know what else to tell you

[dry coral]

faaaaaaaak

[obtuse adder]

when it happened to me, I just logged off for the day but when I came back I had no issue, don't know what could be causing this

[tame cobalt]

I was disappointed with it

Since you can't even see the skin in most lighting

It just becomes dark gray

u need direct light on the gun to see the colors and patterns

[upbeat sand]

Mmm

[knotty plank]

anyone else getting screen flickering since the patch?

[errant scarab]

most weapons have the same reload animation

[tame cobalt]

Pog

[mossy badge]

😵‍💫

[quaint wigeon]

i stg it boggles my fucking mind every time im in an AI game and the actual players do WORSE than the AI, what the fuck goes on in their fucking brains that make them so shit

[obtuse adder]

damn you're still on about this?

[quaint wigeon]

playing on the point when you should be off it to cover the area in between point and playing off the point when you should be in the fucking only point in the sector

[quaint wigeon]

dude yes im bewildered every time i see it

[errant scarab]

orbital will have a giant sandbag

[arctic grove]

Exposure nade spam is pain

[tame cobalt]

aps

[obtuse adder]

very happy my friend is an Irish main

[tame cobalt]

aps should be removed from irish and be a support selectable gadget

and have a cooldown

[arctic grove]

I was a Boris main but now I'm just an angel main

Got bored of Boris. His turret is just pure garbage

[tame cobalt]

damn i wish the specialist feedback thread was still up

that would be a good gadget for support

[errant scarab]

[tame cobalt]

and simplify irish's kit

[chilly jacinth]

it would make irish close to pointless to use

[tame cobalt]

what

[mossy badge]

[mossy badge]

[tame cobalt]

the deployable cover is enough

[obtuse adder]

LMAO

[chilly jacinth]

you mainly use him for the aps

[tame cobalt]

no I don't

the cover is goated

[chilly jacinth]

the cover isn't enough

[tame cobalt]

irish with just deployable cover would be a great engineer class pick

[tame cobalt]

no

[chilly jacinth]

yes

[tame cobalt]

bruh moment

[obtuse adder]

perhaps

[chilly jacinth]

i barely see any irish players now

[tame cobalt]

mfs want cover but then say instantly deployable cover isn't useful

[obtuse adder]

this is the summary of every suggestion in this discord. "no" "yes"

[chilly jacinth]

imagine them gutting him

[obtuse adder]

[chilly jacinth]

no ones gonna pick him

[quaint wigeon]

they wont do this or his T1 wouldnt exist unless they change how his t1 works

[tame cobalt]

wrong

u think engineer class won't be popular?

[quaint wigeon]

irish cover goated

[chilly jacinth]

you dont count

[tame cobalt]

you either have to pick boris or irish to use most of the engineer gadgets

[chilly jacinth]

theres better options for engineers

[tame cobalt]

so u gonna pick the useless turret over a deployable cover?

[chilly jacinth]

both are kinda bad

[tame cobalt]

no

[obtuse adder]

LMAO

[tame cobalt]

thank you

[quaint wigeon]

if u think anyone is gona choose some turret over a shield that can block a hail of bullets you're very wrong

[tame cobalt]

kills by you or teammates from behind your deployed covers

[chilly jacinth]

i mean i can just chuck a nade behind your cover or shoot you in the face if you dont sit still behind it

[errant scarab]

Irish movie part 2

[quaint wigeon]

can still equip aps gadget

[chilly jacinth]

now if you had an aps close to the cover youd be covered better

[arctic grove]

The am40 is so good man

[chilly jacinth]

but the man doesnt want Irish to have it

[tame cobalt]

yes

supports should have it

[arctic grove]

Why don't I see many people using it? It's genuinely good

[mossy badge]

its not possbile they have to change the voice actor and model both

[obtuse adder]

supports

[quaint wigeon]

[errant scarab]

RIP

[tame cobalt]

support class mfs

[chilly jacinth]

because everyones either falck, sundance or mackay

[mossy badge]

🕊️🙏

[chilly jacinth]

with some light sprinkles of other specialists

[tame cobalt]

[obtuse adder]

makes sense why they took away the specialist feedback thread

[tame cobalt]

cuz i spammed "remove armor" too much

[tame cobalt]

how about leave aps with irish and give deployable cover as a support gadget

[chilly jacinth]

that would work better

[tame cobalt]

[chilly jacinth]

but i cant see anyone picking the cover

[tame cobalt]

bruhhhhhhhh

the cover is so good

[quaint wigeon]

i mean cover is great when you need to hold down an objective

[edgy oriole]

I'd rather have 2 trophy than cover

[errant scarab]

@mossy badge Why I enjoy 1942,2,3 more in portal than the main game?

[chilly jacinth]

its only really good with an aps

[quaint wigeon]

it literally blocks bullets from mid waist up and u can position it in a way to head glitch

[chilly jacinth]

without it its mid at best

[mossy badge]

maybe because you love those old maps more

old uniforms

[quaint wigeon]

like you gotta get creative with how u use it dont just be a caveman about it

[errant scarab]

Classes

[mossy badge]

yep

[tame cobalt]

so without aps u think the maps could just be open wastelands?

if cover isn't useful

[chilly jacinth]

nice conclusion

[errant scarab]

But like 3 servers

[chilly jacinth]

how did you come to it

[foggy halo]

Dice should stop making those 40 year old specialists, it's weird. Make them 18-30.

[tame cobalt]

u said cover isn't useful without aps

so...

[chilly jacinth]

the deployable cover isn't that good without aps

yes

[tame cobalt]

[chilly jacinth]

not cover in general

[tame cobalt]

[obtuse adder]

yeah I don't play games with pixels that have an imaginary age, too immersion breaking, I feel you

[tame cobalt]

[mossy badge]

[tame cobalt]

if support got deployable cover as a gadget I'd be more excited for the upcoming support class

[errant scarab]

when was the last time you played

[mossy badge]

i played it when it released

after that i knew its not for me

sooo i moved on

[quaint wigeon]

i agree that irish aps is a lil too op being omnidirectional in its coverage but if devs dont wana take that out of his kit then they should just make the coverage cone shaped in the front

[errant scarab]

what negative did you see besides the bugs

[edgy oriole]

Whats op about it is how much health it has

[tame cobalt]

why not just add a cooldown on it. like 4 seconds cooldown after destroying an explosive

[quaint wigeon]

thats a good idea too

[foggy halo]

SEXY HOT SPEICALISTS

[mossy badge]

gunplay and movement is not for me
i play battlefield for atmosphere and that is lacking in 2042

[tame cobalt]

so there would be a point to having multiple aps on a point

[silk surge]

I wish there was a way for year one pass recipients to opt out of getting those 4 free levels at start. Getting those 40 BP points from tier 1 takes like 2-3 games... Having to grind the deficit after getting to Tier 100 and grinding out the T1 Badge takes around 50-60 extra games. We're literally being punished for paying more.

[tame cobalt]

just don't go for t1 badge, ez

[errant scarab]

i see

[quaint wigeon]

i think a cone shaped coverage might be a better way to balance it since it could still stop grenade spam that way

[mossy badge]

this game isn't that bad though
i saw some gameplay of arica harbor and that looks sooo cool ngl feels like true war going on 🥶

[tame cobalt]

well i think it should only be a soft counter to grenade spam.. if a team spams a million grenades on a point there shouldn't be 0 effect IMO

[errant scarab]

That's why I say that in portal I can have more fun, it's not the same but ok

[mossy badge]

sadly they don't add any map from old battlefield games now in portal

[tame cobalt]

the more aps on the point, the more explosives u need to spam to have an effect

[arctic grove]

I want release dozer back

He was just funny

[errant scarab]

the games that are in portal are more fun than the main game

[arctic grove]

Blocking tank shells with his shield.

[tame cobalt]

so it scales with the number of players on both sides of the equation

[mossy badge]

you like 128 players ?
imo it is really cool if done correctly

[quaint wigeon]

i feel this too when im attacking so maybe they implement a CD on aps but beef the health a little bit so it doesnt get one shot by grenades (dont know if a grenade would one shot a full health aps tho)

[foggy halo]

I want them to release more maps

[tame cobalt]

yeah true

[errant scarab]

They barely release 1 map per season, portal is

[obtuse adder]

Your XP requirement doesn't increase for those 4 free levels, same as if you were to buy the whole battle pass on day 1, it would still start you at 2K XP for a battle point. Paid/Free levels don't count towards progression, you would still have to grind the same amount of XP regardless. Those 4 free levels don't change anything.

[quaint wigeon]

yeah the one map per season is pretty weak imo

[tame cobalt]

or they could perhaps make it so aps just heavily reduces explosives damage instead of entirely eliminating it

[mossy badge]

PORTAL RIP 2021-2022 🕊️ 🙏
