Event was easy.

tranquil turtle
#

it was a joke

visual horizon
#

What event?

next onyx
#

This liquidators event.

#

Honestly.

tranquil turtle
#

it is possible in solo but idk about portal

visual horizon
#

confused

#

When does the event end?

next onyx
#

In uh.,,

#

8 days, 17 hours.

timid latch
#

how did you unlock the era specific portal weapons

#

did someone unlock the m2 carbine for example?

next onyx
#

They'll have requirements when you hover over them.

tranquil turtle
#

idk

visual horizon
#

bet

tranquil turtle
#

I got the aek-971 though

next onyx
#

But the m2 carbine and bren are only unlockable in servers that actually allow for it.

visual horizon
#

M2 Carbine, my beloved...

timid latch
tranquil turtle
#

I haven't bothered to check those

timid latch
tranquil turtle
#

oh

#

idk then

patent path
#

uh you don't get bp exp playing custom portal modes? wtf

timid latch
#

so like idk know how to even unlock those ones

#

like I have been waiting for an 1942 event to even be capable of doing that but I guess that they just don't care

tranquil turtle
#

iirc if the xp is full or moderate you can at least earn points through xp

#

I just want to play 1942 portal man

#

this map is so beautiful

#

salute

#

the hitbox is so weird

#

you can't shoot through a patch of grass

#

can't shoot through invisible tree

#

devs pls fix

still vault
#

Keep repeating it for infinite frames leo

timid latch
#

does breakthrough work for you?

hexed mango
#

botb literally worst map next to el Alamein

timid latch
#

it seems broken or there are no servers?

#

it's pretty tho

Badlefield 20fortypoo, my beloathed

arctic grove
#

oh its in now

tame cobalt
#

of course it's beautiful, it's a bfv map okayChamp

patent path
#

uh that's a 1942 remade map

tame cobalt
patent path
#

Yes

tame cobalt
#

literally has the bfv church

patent path
#

except it looks exactly like the original map

tame cobalt
#

bro

patent path
tame cobalt
#

that doesn't look like the portal map at all weirdChamp

patent path
#

ok

still vault
#

I think it does

#

And while it was a great map in 1942 I think time has made it rather empty and flat

#

Another reason I think Portal should have had a map editor so people could modify the maps.

#

Some trenches, buildings and wrecks around the map would really help

#

Guess they COULD spend their time making almost identical church assets over and over again

tame cobalt
#

Arras, panzerstorm, provence, battle of the bulge

still vault
#

Personally, I want them to borrow from previous games even more if that means more maps

tame cobalt
#

I don't disagree true

oak sedge
#

Dude arguing about classes BAD specialists GOOD and using this example claiming Recon shouldn't have C4, and then shilling for a game where EVERYONE CAN HAVE C4 ON THEM NO MATTER WHAT

tame cobalt
oak sedge
#

Think about your arguments if you're going to be a contrarian

#

I enjoy 2042 a lot but come on now

tame cobalt
#

Wait, u mean to imply that BF4 wasn't the absolute peak of game design and isn't completely flawless? die

oak sedge
#

No because that's BF3

tame cobalt
oak sedge
#

BF4 had major balancing problems but it's better than 2042's approach of "we aren't balancing anything at all"

#

And I say that as someone who abused the shit out of the old hind and condor

patent path
#

can't give two fucks about classes vs specialists because they don't matter

#

in older games people play the one class with the meta gun anyway

tame cobalt
oak sedge
#

I detect a lot of 50 mm cannon fragments in your post friend

tame cobalt

#

It's okay I used the condor to hunt stealth helis mostly anyways

I would like remind everyone that bc2 multiplayer is overrated and stinky

#

yeah it was a cool system, tons of guns to play with, but meta slaves would use only 1 gun anyway lol

remote kiln
#

no the class system is and always has been PERFECT and if you disagree you're shilling

#

something something

tardy tree
#

i had a wild night the past 2 nights

tame cobalt
#

Love how the top 3 meta guns in 2042 aren't in the top 5 most used guns

#

I think the 12mm is the only weapon in the game that is inherently unfun to kill people with

funny gun go DOOF DOOF

whenever I open bf 2042 it closes itself

Wait so they have said season 3 isn't getting a new map ?

You know what I've found the SFar harder to T1 then both the M5 and the ak

mental delta

#

Oh thank god because the current Maps are just making me not have the will to play the game it's killing me

mental delta
#

Stranded is shit

slate meadow

Yeah stranded is just a reskin if discarded 😂

I doubt season 3 map will be really greater

also map rework of that rocket map ive never played is coming

There isn't a single decent original map in 2042 (even after the reworks), I don't expect Season 3 or 4's to be good

Man I hope I can finish it

I haven't looked in a minute though

It's costing me like 24k xp per thing now

So it's getting harder

brittle forge
#

Are you doing the missions?

#

Particularly the one that gets you a whole tier that only lasts the week?

slate meadow
#

Yeah I've got all those done

#

But like I'm lvl 94 right now

brittle forge
#

I was done season 1 just all the missions the xp-based points I only had to go up to like 8k per point

brittle forge
#

you've got 5 more weeks of missions you'll get those tiers easy

Just wish they add another missile that’s fires freely without lock on system, IDK where do they listen the feedbacks even last time I went to their website and gave some ideas, that was only last time before season 1 started

solid imp
#

they had the specialist feedback loop that just closed recently and the map loop from some months ago in #948574259209437264

#

they also sent a couple surveys out in emails

feedback is usually also like... the general sentiment of the community and their own observations not one guy posting on a forum

Anyone know why a condor with c5 attached to the front cannot destroy a ram or a tank?

#

I have got 3x proof that the tank just moves after impact and 0 damage

arctic grove
#

Tanks are Built Different

edgy oriole
#

and c5 damage to tank got nerfed

peak hazel
#

So mean, the tank was just creaming people and it was a good idea, but the condor bounced off the tank

solid imp
#

actually it seems like the c4 just doesn't detonate?

#

so the condor impact does nothing it just deposits the c4 onto the tank, which you can then detonate.

tacit sphinx

i read that and figured it was probably what was happening

# cunning plume will this game get cut after season 4

well tbh after 330+ hours of playing and still seeing simple bugs in the game that they havent fixed for almost a year now i would say the devs clearly arent worried about making the game a long term project feels like they are doiung bare minimum ( 2 new maps in 12months is a joke)

unless s3 comes with a huge update and content i think this will be my last season on 2042

eager spire

yeah. This game is not going to last past the initial 4 seasons of content they would make. And honestly? It shouldn't. They should just scrap this, and use the feedback to make the next Battlefield game decent.

#

Portal would’ve been cool if they ended up supporting most if not all of its included games maps and guns or something, but it should’ve been something that was released by itself

#

We do a little el alamein milsim larping

austere dirge
#

battlefield portal as its own game probably would've pretty well received

thorn helm
#

you all have Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia from the Z-95

austere dirge
#

damn...

eager spire
#

Portal would've been better if it was it's own game rather than being attached to 2042. But then again, barely anyone really utilized the tools Portal had to make anything interesting, just doing high damage "hardcore milsim realism" servers or stuffing 128 players in maps not made for that, so frankly, maybe the Battlefield community doesn't deserve Portal.

austere dirge
#

yeah i remember being hype for the logic editor and then never having the motivation to use it cuz 2042 overall kinda left me sour

#

i think portal was just overshadowed by the bad stuff from AOW and the dead-on-arrival hazard zone. it was a neat concept but i think they just did not have a good roadmap for it

#

either that or any roadmap present was snuffed out when 2042's playerbase fell by like 85% and the suits were like "do the bare minimum and get out"

eager spire
#

Portal was also just filled with trash servers

#

plus them not being persistent was a problem

austere dirge
#

yeah some design choices were not muy bueno

eager spire
#

i think allowing people to set damage above 100% was a mistake

austere dirge
#

lol the hardcore disaster

eager spire
#

"Hardcore" should've been immediately filed under No XP.

austere dirge
#

chaotic position but i think the whole "no xp/moderate/full" should've never been a thing

#

i think full xp should just be available no matter what

#

that also goes for solo/coop

eager spire
#

Portal should never have interacted with someone's level in 2042 at all.

austere dirge
#

you know what you're probably right lol. they could've done a separate levelling profile for portal or something

eager spire
#

You should have everything unlocked in Portal, and the available weapons should be determined by the gamemode you're playing

#

nah

#

no need for leveling in Portal at all.

austere dirge
#

i do be nodding my head to these ideas

#

it was always meant to be a sandbox platform anyway. might as well just take the locks off everything

#

you could keep stat counters for those who are goblins for the numbers but otherwise yea

eager spire
#

yeah. changing weapon damage is a dogshit feature though, and shouldn't be a thing. I cannot think of any legitimate reason why people should be able to do that.

#

having fucking 900% damage "hardcore realism" servers is dogshit

#

and that was most of what Portal was.

#

it was mostly chucklefucks thinking that people always dying in one shot from everything is somehow realistic.

austere dirge
#

i can see its use for like really creative/wacky modes. i appreciate the option being available for creativity's sake. but yes as you say creativity wasn't really encouraged or sought in portal soon after launch.

fiery dawn
eager spire
fiery dawn
austere dirge
austere dirge
#

yeah and then the game launched and we quickly realized that the example modes we saw in the portal trailers were actually the limit of how far you could go

eager spire
#

and also the AI was quite stupid so the AI modes were pointless

austere dirge
#

omg yea lmao i totally forgot they mentioned "machine-learning" in the promos

eager spire
#

i forgot they even mentioned that

#

that's funny

austere dirge
#

soo was that just a lie or did they copy paste like 1% of some machine-learning template and ran with that for hype

#

i was so hype thinking i was gonna be able to have a full XP blast in coop like in battlefront 2. that game's coop mode is chef's kiss

eager spire
#

well i donno, the only real footage of the AI in action i saw was from the beta. But i haven't seen much indication that they've gotten any smarter.

austere dirge
#

they've gotten less buggy. they do a little bit more now (like responding to your requests for ammo and stuff)

eager spire
#

well yeah but would they actually be fun to fight against.

austere dirge
#

they're fun to farm for like 5 minutes and then it gets kinda boring

eager spire
#

yeah that's basically what i thought

austere dirge
#

doesnt help that you get like 5000 xp per match so there's really no reason to keep playing solo/coop besides farming attachments

#

might as well call it attachment-acquisition mode >_>

austere dirge
eager spire
#

I think it really say something about Portal when the featured gamemode right now is literally Hardcore TDM

arctic grove
#

i have a question

eager spire
#

And there was also 128 player Rush, 128 player TDM

arctic grove
#

is 2042 worth getting on xbox one

eager spire
#

yeah?

#

uh

#

no

#

i don't think so anyway

austere dirge
#

and they seemed to be happy so

#

i think its up to the individual lol

arctic grove
#

Is it similar to 5m

#

I love 5

eager spire
#

i mean i wouldn't buy it for full price

#

no

austere dirge
#

not at all

austere dirge
arctic grove
#

like in terms of gunplay, movement, etc

austere dirge
#

it is almost NOTHING like 5 or 1 in terms of overall design

eager spire
#

Gunplay is more like BF4

#

which is fine to me

#

but if you like BFV you probably won't like it.

#

probably cause you're used to having random recoil.

austere dirge
#

BF4 if bullets actually went where you were aiming your gun without tap-firing

wait a minute

your bullets actually go where you aim? /Hj

yeah

arctic grove
#

its so fin running around with a Mg42 and flanking the enemy then mowing down eemveryone

eager spire
#

Personally i prefer it over BFV's spread to recoil conversion that just makes recoil random.

#

like, i donno about you but i prefer at least being able to control my gun

austere dirge
#

I prefer BF3's method of "idk how it works but my bullets tend to go where i want them to"

arctic grove
#

dont aim

#

DO NOT AIM WITH MACHINE GUNS UNLESS YOU WANT A FUCKING SEIZURE

austere dirge
#

god i miss how viable hip fire was in 1 and 5 lol

eager spire
# austere dirge skill issue

you genuinely cannot perfectly control random recoil, it is not possible. That's not a skill issue, that's just how it is.

stg 44 has the worst iron sights ever istg

aiming with the stg 44 without the reflex is fucking awful

austere dirge

#

also i'm sorry but i fucking hate BF1's overreliance on hipfire in regards to gunplay with fully automatic weapons

austere dirge
#

dammmm we could not be any more opposite lol

austere dirge
#

i love it. i love hipfiring my beloved

eager spire
#

Like, the visual recoil on full auto weapons is ridiculous and hipfiring is way too effective in my opinion.

austere dirge
#

it was certainly a weird design choice but i meshed with it

eager spire
#

And it's annoying because DICE removed visual recoil from BF4 weapons for a reason

austere dirge
#

hipfired the shit outta my auto revolver and scoped in with my semi auto rifle as medic

eager spire
#

And that reason was because it was distracting and sucked ass.

austere dirge
#

that said it do not matter to me anymore as i almost exclusively run shotties lol

eager spire
#

eh personally I don't mind the bloom, it was a way to balance the weapons.

#

of course you do, you can't figure out how gunplay works just remove 90% of it with shotguns. :I

austere dirge
#

hehehe

#

u know how we do it

austere dirge
arctic grove
#

honestly Bf5 looks better than 1

eager spire
#

BF1 is really the only game i have a problem with bloom in, not because it exists but because the medic SLR's have way too much of it for what they are. they're supposed to be accurate rifles for attacking out to mid-long range, so why do they bloom so badly on repeated shots?

#

and of course it gets worse when you bring in Suppression.

#

I fucking hate suppression.

slow parcel
#

Is battlefield V still active on Xbox since battle field 2042 came out

eager spire
#

good question

austere dirge

skill issue? me getting punished cause someone else can't fucking hit me is a skill issue on my part?

arctic grove
#

thats the point of suppression ya know

#

its not just "someone cant hit me"

#

when you cant see the enemy and you're trying to help your team, suppression is a godsend

eager spire
#

yes it is. It's bullshit. You wanna throw off my aim, fucking hit me.

#

Fucking kill me.

#

You don't get to shoot near me and fuck up my aim.

arctic grove
#

i know the game isnt supposed to be realistic, but thats like the bare minimum

eager spire
#

I don't give a shit how it is irl mate this is a fucking video game

arctic grove
#

heres what to do when being suppressed: throw smoke or explosives

#

or change positions

#

if youre being suppressed, you already fucked up badly

#

also it makes it so snipers cant aim so fuck them

eager spire
#

fuckin unbelievable

arctic grove
#

pacific storm for example: suppression is such a fucking godsend

#

if you have at least 5 brain cells you know how to counter suppression

eager spire
#

If you have 5 braincells you can fucking aim at someone and kill them.

arctic grove
eager spire
#

If they're hiding, then you don't get to kill them unless you toss a nade or flank

#

it's just that simple

arctic grove
calm bison
#

Taxes

eager spire
#

Good for it

arctic grove
#

also bf5 has no supression

#

its a visual effect thats all

#

in bf5 if youre being suppressed, again, you fucked up BADLY

eager spire
#

I am well aware i was talking about BF1

calm bison
#

I mean it gives away the persons location

arctic grove
eager spire
#

where it actually fucks up your aim

arctic grove
#

i wont comment

eager spire
#

okay

arctic grove
#

its a bit shitty in bf1

#

i understand it would make sense to throw off your aim brcause of fear

#

but again, these soldiers are fucking getting burnt alive, getting a fucking HE shell to the skull, and still runing around fighting with a experimental gun

eager spire
#

It does make sense but this is an arcade shooter and you're rewarding someone for missing you, which is not a great mechanic

austere dirge
arctic grove
#

Bf1 has awful gunplay honestly

eager spire
#

yeah i'd agree

austere dirge
#

also i think it just gets an extra subjective pass from me cuz BF1 is so ✨ atmospheric ✨

eager spire
#

BF1 is a bit of a mess mechanically

arctic grove
#

Time to kill is shit, bullets go 5 miles off target, guns overheat stupid fast, guns are so slow to reload

eager spire
#

i don't know why anyone put up with it

austere dirge
eager spire
#

it's interesting

#

but that's the most i can say about it

arctic grove
#

why do machine guns take 5 years to kill but a SMG kills me in one sjot?

eager spire
#

I like playing medic in BF1.

austere dirge
austere dirge
austere dirge
eager spire
#

But unfortunately a lot of things seem designed to fuck me up for existing, like assault being dominant in close range, basically hold M1 and win, and support bipods

arctic grove
#

yeah

austere dirge
eager spire
#

and also the sweet spot mechanic for Scout is terrible

#

i'd rather just single bodyshot kills in close quarters and beyond that you gotta hit headshots

#

there's no reason i should be able to oneshot to the body at like 75m or whatever arbitrarily when i can't do so any closer

austere dirge
eager spire

Fuck the martini henry.

Bf5 machine guns are sexy

#

dont reward sustained fire

just

#

mmmm

#

unless youre an engineer

#

lol

austere dirge
arctic grove
#

i mean sustained fire is nice

#

but burst-fire is sexy

austere dirge
#

dumping an LMG on a position in bf1 to suppress/kill made me actually feel like a machine gunner doing the irl job

austere dirge
#

=w=

eager spire
#

I never bothered with Support in BF1 unless i was running the BAR

arctic grove
#

In pacific storm today i was in a sherman and we were pushing the objective and i was helping my team suppressing the enemy with the roof machine gun and oh my god i loved it

Fuck the shitty tank campers

Youre supposed to go up with your team and support them and push the enemy

I like infantry only combat. That's the only aspect of BF that i really like.

arctic grove
#

Fuck planes

onyx mica
arctic grove
#

All my homies hate planes

austere dirge
eager spire
#

mostly because infantry/vehicle combat makes me fucking hate my team

onyx mica
austere dirge
#

the whole reason i got into BF in the first place 10 years ago is cuz of the vehicle presence

austere dirge
eager spire
#

i don't remember why i got into BF. I just know i started giving a shit about BF4 after watching footage of really good infantry players doing cool things.

austere dirge
#

fair enough

#

BF3 indoctrinated me

arctic grove
#

Bf1 was one of the first games i got for xbox one

#

Zfell in love with the war stories

#

fell way more in love with the multiplayer

#

got Bf5

eager spire
#

BF1 was a gift from friends. We played it for a little bit, then stopped.

austere dirge
#

BF1 was my first proper battlefield that I played a fuckton. didn't have the hardware to play previous entries consistently

arctic grove
#

i fell so madly and deeply in love with Bf5

eager spire
#

BF3 and BC2 were my first Battlefield games on PC

austere dirge
#

came back to BF3 later and i also love that one so much

eager spire
#

I don't have as much experience with BF3 cause i got it really late, got Premium later, and basically all anyone runs is Canals TDM and i am so fucking sick of Canals.

i mostly played rush

arctic grove
#

The first time I played Bf5 multiplayer

#

I played the mode where its like breakthrough and you gotta hold objectives long enough to call in artillery support

#

I remember, it was devastation

#

We were being rained on with artillery

#

I was calling in support

#

We barely held on by a thread

#

But we eventually won

austere dirge
#

the attritional chaos

eager spire
#

The one time i played Frontlines in BF1 my team kept bouncing back and forth between two flags the entire game and by the time we actually managed to push up, the round ended due to the time limit.

arctic grove
#

Omg frontlines is the best gamemode RVER

There was also a tank dipshit on the other team that nobody on my team was interested in dealing with.

i wanted to punch my entire team in the face

like at some point it was just straight up not my fault.

#

I could not do any more than i was doing.

arctic grove
#

A good support player can do so much more than a good assualt player

austere dirge
#

im tempted to get back into BFV but not on PC. battlefield plays differently on console vs. PC. i have more fun on console with 1 or V

eager spire
#

I was medic

thorn helm
eager spire
#

ok but why

austere dirge
arctic grove
#

Support - can build fortifications, can suppress enemies, can spot enemies, can build stationary weapons, can repair vehicles, has infinite ammo, supplies ammo, can also attack
Assualt - can attack, can destroy tank

austere dirge
#

took me a while to be okay with medic reviving having an animation lol

arctic grove
#

Revive animation is so good

#

Finally balances medics

austere dirge
#

yeah gives them a proper reason to throw smoke on dead bodies

#

BF3 was hilariously broken with revives but i loved it all the same.

arctic grove
#

Buddy revive is also 😩

austere dirge

yeas BFV was really on a roll with a lot of new design choices. now the whole attrition thing... grrr... but still BFV had so much good

Support on bf5 doesn't really have the luxury of going as aggressive as assault and medic.

#

oh hi way.

arctic grove
#

You dont know true fun until you flank the enemy with a Mg34/42 and start mowing down enemies as they try entering or retreating

next onyx
#

The guns in the class like the bar and the fg42 allow it yes. But their longer sprint out times than assault rifles and smaller mags limit what one can do.

#

Hey silver.

hearty flame
#

they definitely wanted support to be more hold the line-y with the mmg/lmg mechanics

arctic grove
#

Also the M1897 is so fucking good

next onyx
#

I've played the game long enough to understand what goes on.

austere dirge

you know what didn't make much sense to me in BFV

arctic grove
#

I like to do what the Germans did irl

eager spire
#

AT rifles.

austere dirge
eager spire
#

why?

arctic grove
#

In assualt, run up with the assualts with my machine gun, find a position, mow down everyone and support friendlies

eager spire
#

they didn't even do much to tanks.

#

all anyone ever used 'em for was oneshotting infantry.

arctic grove
#

Or flank the enemies, find a good spot, mow down everyone

hearty flame
#

mmg/lmgs couldve been really good early on but the shitty bipod mechanics turned me off of it for most of Vs lifespan

arctic grove
#

Lmgs are also useless

hearty flame
next onyx
#

Lmgs useless???

#

Lol.

hearty flame
#

but i kinda liked their inclusion

next onyx
#

Mmgs were great for power as long as you could deal with the butchered mobility.

#

However for the most part. Things like the bren gun was your best anchor.

hearty flame
#

i remember early on the only really viable way to use m/lmgs was to prone on your back because bipods were shit and terrain clipping would force you outta position

next onyx
#

Oh yeah early bf5 bipods were horrid.

arctic grove

Bren Gun is shit

It was one of the more niche yet potent medium ranged machine guns.

the only beam weapon im familiar with is the vgo because its all the hackers used lol

I love love love loooiooove the VGO but the mag is so small

Reckon I've played with the bren long enough to know how it feels!

i was one of those pushy supports with the fg42
shame its mag size was so small

next onyx
#

Fg42 based.

hearty flame
#

but man i love the fg42

wide shore
#

Man I loved the Bren

next onyx
#

As long as you distanced your self from encounters enough but remained aggressive it was a great gun.

arctic grove
#

Mg34 my beloved

next onyx
#

670 RPM with lots of control. It's a popular choice for people who knew what they're doing when it came to support.

arctic grove
#

Mg34>mg42

#

Honestly idk why but i have more fun with the Mg34

#

Good vision, good control, good accuracy, good reload, good damage, good magazine size

next onyx
#

Whenever the situation demanded it I would use the VGO or the mg42.

arctic grove
#

VGO is fucking goyl

#

Godly

#

Mag is so small though

next onyx
#

The thing with MMG's is that I often questioned why would I use them when with an LMG I have more mobility. Which 95% of the time was the case.

#

And I think I ran light bolt for the memes on the MG42 as a result.

#

Cause I never used it seriously.

arctic grove
#

I hate LMGs

hearty flame
#

mmgs were good if you knew how to position yourself

arctic grove
#

Bad magazine size with worse damage and theyre inaccurate without a bipod

hearty flame
#

but you kinda had to depend on your team to hold your flanks

arctic grove
#

Thats why you build fortifications

#

Ge tthe sandbag windows and thsts it for the enemy

next onyx
#

Not really that inaccurate as long as you knew what you were doing.

arctic grove
#

Twisted steel has overpowered fortifications for the Americans on breajthrough

#

Especially on the bridge

#

You didnt have to rebuild sandbags on trenches too which eas great

hearty flame
#

the bridge was always a pain in the ass if your team didnt know what they were doing

#

and even when your team does know what theyre doing

Holy shit
