battlefield-2042

[brittle forge]

It could been one time but tbh It’s never too easy to get premium currency

[austere dirge]

Lovemachine07

[brittle forge]

Liquidators game mode is pretty fun tbh but this reward structure sucks ass ngl

[austere dirge]

ngl i havent touched it

[copper fulcrum]

It's just ribbons = rewards

The tank skin is nice and so is the Dozer skin

[austere dirge]

on account of running falck and having no drip for falck

[brittle forge]

I meant only 5 non paid items

[eager spire]

ribbons = rewards but most of the cosmetics are paywalled

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[copper fulcrum]

I think Tuesday we get a Mackay helmet

[next onyx]

More free rewards would be nice.

I do wonder if we'll get a new set of rewards.

I'm not hopeful.

But it would be nice.

[austere dirge]

paid $90 on that gold edition and they want me to drop more money =w=

[brittle forge]

I don’t know if 16v16 on these maps is gonna play well though ngl

[eager spire]

yeah that's how they get you

[brittle forge]

8v8 already seems pretty hectic at least on Stranded and Arica Harbor

[next onyx]

The maps outside of Arica, Stranded and Renewal will function well.

[eager spire]

Maybe it'll make some maps work better. Like Caspian.

[violet meteor]

The free reward is the pleasure of talking to me

[next onyx]

Arica will just become claustrophobic.

[austere dirge]

hehehe

[copper fulcrum]

That harbor is tiny

[eager spire]

Seriously who thought Caspian was a good idea for a Infantry Only mode?

[violet meteor]

Which in 2042 standards isn't much but I'll do

[austere dirge]

arica is already fucked up on 64 players

[eager spire]

I wanna know who decided that

[next onyx]

It's alright.

[austere dirge]

yeah id say its alright too u_u

[next onyx]

Nah I get the problems around it.

But it doesn't play as bad.

[brittle forge]

I played a 128 arica server on Portal and it sucked. But they also fucked with a lot settings to be a “grind server”

[eager spire]

well there's your problem

[austere dirge]

128 player on most maps is gonna be dogshit

[next onyx]

Valparaiso though.

[eager spire]

you played a 128 player server on portal

[next onyx]

Now that is a good fun map.

[eager spire]

that's a mistake

don't do that

[brittle forge]

Why is every portal server a grind server I don’t see any of the classic BF3/BF4 for slightly tweaked map rotations

[violet meteor]

Ceo

[next onyx]

64p Valparaiso let's go.

[eager spire]

don't talk to me.

[austere dirge]

yeah arica had some flow its not horrible. and yes valparaiso is good

[brittle forge]

There are no other types of Portal servers it’s so annoying

[violet meteor]

Did you ever play medieval dynasty?

[eager spire]

yeah cause portal is not that great anyway

and people are uncreative

[austere dirge]

bc portal was not the creative utopia that it was advertised to be

[next onyx]

Go mental with the SCAR on Valparaiso.

Beam people.

Let's go.

Take cover yes.

[eager spire]

it could be. but people just aren't interested.

they just make the same servers constantly.

[placid echo]

Incognito helmet is nice for Irish

[violet meteor]

I will agree to that for sure but don't give much room in portal too. That release trailer.

[austere dirge]

i think the potential is too limited in the first place

[brittle forge]

I mean even it was would be people create normal servers or do dumb shit for weapon progression

[next onyx]

The lis set is pretty decent as well.

[eager spire]

Yeah, it is, but people certainly aren't utilizing what little potential there is.

Like i said, it says something when Hardcore TDM is the featured mode.

[austere dirge]

yeah portal being tied to progression was a mistake, @eager spire made a good point about that

[eager spire]

Portal should not have had any progression at all.

be completely disconnected.

[violet meteor]

Like ceo said, people are uncreative.

There's good ideas, just hard to populate

I hope nobody is surprised

Not that the toolkit is that large anyway

[brittle forge]

Portal might have been better as the whole game or a separate game tbh.

[placid echo]

I am looking forward to the next community spotlight tho

[violet meteor]

I think if it was a separate game it wouldn't have any attention at all

[eager spire]

Yeah but it wasn't

[austere dirge]

thats what me and silver were saying earlier

[violet meteor]

Well I'm doing my best but I'm waiting for that boin endorsement

[eager spire]

it was something used to market the game and get people interested, and then it was kicked to the curb after they realized it would require effort to do more with it.

[violet meteor]

Oh so like

[brittle forge]

I kinda am, BF3 and BF4 have a lot custom settings (not as much as Portal but still) and they have progression and people don’t do the stuff I see in Portal

[violet meteor]

Most shit untested with the people

[austere dirge]

forgive me for the pessimism but im not. i just assume itll be normalish stuff like some modified free for all or tdm

[violet meteor]

Good to see the seasonal honeymoon phase is over, we can get back to more important matters

[austere dirge]

or at least kicked to the curb after player engagement was not up to corporate standards. either way i think silver has a point

[eager spire]

well that's cause changing stuff like custom settings would cause the server to be unranked. Most people on BF3/BF4 only played Ranked servers.

[brittle forge]

The most of the walls thing in BF3/4 was instant vehicle spawns, some weapon restrictions, and increased ticket counts. Which could get kinda annoying but they didn’t break the game like 8000% damage 128 player rush infinite ammo that somehow has full xp progression

[austere dirge]

correct. if you have a mode with progression and a mode without progression, guess which one ppl will want to play

[brittle forge]

God I miss 64 player pistols only Operation Locker on BF4

[austere dirge]

that sounds like a lot of fun lol

[violet meteor]

Instead it's more than 2 modes of varied progression

[brittle forge]

That shit was legit fun

[placid echo]

I made a few unique modes, one I'm gonna get actual human testers to test it on

Spearhead might get featured

[violet meteor]

Good luck

[eager spire]

Honestly, when BF Portal was being talked about with the logic editor, thought it would be interesting to make something like Defuse mode in BF4, with modified settings for more competitive gameplay. Like a 2042 Promod. But the logic editor is not that indepth, I don't think I could make something like Defuse, and I don't own the game so i couldn't test it.

[placid echo]

Check out Gunfight Royale

[austere dirge]

i said some hours earlier that i think xp should just be full no matter what. kinda controversial but its simply what i think

[brittle forge]

They’d never allow it but no custom maps even for small shit was a mistake tbh

[austere dirge]

i hope ur modes get featured!

[eager spire]

Being able to set custom map boundaries would've been nice for CQB modes.

[austere dirge]

certainly

[violet meteor]

You can give a community all the tools to get buck wild but yeah, most want to be rewarded with xp, and from what I've seen here alone, people don't even group up to play together.

It's just hard to get people in a game

[brittle forge]

tbh the party system in these games is dogshit and kicks people for no reason all the time.

[placid echo]

My most recent modes are
Reinforce - Elimination + Conquest, capturing a flag respawns any dead members on your team. Round-Based
Invasion - Infection + Breakthrough, attackers start out with 54 players, if they die they become a defender
Fortress - Defenders have to defend 1-2 objectives from the attackers
Spearhead - Frontlines with 64 players

[austere dirge]

this is kinda of a unsubstantiated take but i have to wonder if more creative servers would be present if full XP were available.

[austere dirge]

full agree

if you join a squad during a game, it will not carry you into the menu after that game

[brittle forge]

This isn;t a 2042 problem either. I’ve been struggling to keep my friends in the same server as me for more than a match since battlefield 1

[violet meteor]

Yeah I agree

[austere dirge]

the fact that you cant get wacky without losing full XP probably discourages like everybody? idk

[violet meteor]

There's the 4 categories of experience

[austere dirge]

i really really think it shouldve just been full for everything no matter what. it would've kept me playing other modes for way longer at least

i dont play solo/coop unless i want to farm attachments and i dont want to play portal unless i want to farm a niche tool because 128 chaos will allow me to do so

[violet meteor]

Well I'm a patient man, I understand their need to fix core gameplay first. Portal can be ditched like hazard zone and I'd be ok with that if they can continue to improve

[eager spire]

Like most of the servers are the same cause people found out that doing 900% tactical realism hardcore servers still gives full XP for some reason, and there are multiple servers running the same thing because servers are not persistent in Portal, so if everyone leaves a server, it's gone

[violet meteor]

Well hc is fun and should be rewarded

[austere dirge]

i think core is mostly fixed but we'll see what the class changes in S3 will bring

[austere dirge]

so is a lot of other stuff. i think this sort of thing is highly subjective

[eager spire]

I don't think they're going to fix the core gameplay. 11 months it took them to acknowledge input issues that have in the game since launch, and even then, they're not completely fixed. I don't think they're ever going to be.

[brittle forge]

No persistent servers was a pretty bad call tbh, I understand why it was done logistically but for Portal’s game health it doomed it

[fiery dawn]

there's some sort of downed state bug with hardcore TDM

[eager spire]

that's funny

[violet meteor]

People actively avoid hc in other games so they shouldn't complain about it being offered

Offers the same rewards, the only thing that changes is the player

[eager spire]

Because Hardcore is ass and is the laziest attempt at appearing "realistic" i've ever fucking seen

[violet meteor]

Situational awareness changes

[fiery dawn]

where if you take a big hit of damage from a DMR or the M44 on your screen it looks like you got knocked over and you're down in first person but on everyone else's you just stop moving and stand still even though you aren't dead

[austere dirge]

there's something to be said about the community shrieking about the specialist/class regression prior to release and the fact that it was only acknowledged a year later with promised updates in S3

[eager spire]

I don't think the game is living past Season 4.

[fiery dawn]

hardcore being ass isn't an excuse for there to be stupid bugs like this

[eager spire]

And frankly, I don't think it should.

[fiery dawn]

it's been around a while

[austere dirge]

it is absolutely 1000000% getting dropped after S4

[eager spire]

I know i'm not saying that cause of the bug

[next onyx]

If I'm reading it right. There are gonna be changes to armour.

[eager spire]

i'm saying that cause i dislike hardcore.

[violet meteor]

I hope you're wrong

[fiery dawn]

I usually do too but hardcore TDM is a bit different

[austere dirge]

theres no way in hell we're getting dev support past S4

[violet meteor]

It's really coming together but yeah, I can see it happening

Kind of at the fork in the road

[eager spire]

It would be a ridiculous waste of resources to keep 2042 running, and i don't think they're gonna fix the issues it has.

It's already been so long with barely anything being fixed.

[austere dirge]

yeah chatter about the next game is already kinda heavy with marcus leto at the helm

[violet meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-steve-carell-optimistic-desperate-gif-9384817

[brittle forge]

Honestly at this point I think reintroducing the class system might actually make this game worse. I hate the specialists and wanted classes when this game first revealed, but the cat’s been out of the bag for a year. This game was designed around the specialists like it or not, I would have just brought that back in the next game

[austere dirge]

i respect and appreciate the folks still working on 2042 but i seriously heavily doubt the higher ups are gonna have them working on 2042 past S4

[austere dirge]

i am also a little bit worried about the classes being reintroduced

[eager spire]

The class system is either going to
A) Be half-baked and not matter that much
B) Suck ass

[violet meteor]

There have been bigger turnarounds, but yeah season 5 is gonna be the big decider

[next onyx]

I wish I could be optimistic forthis game but considering how much of a mess this game been well.

[austere dirge]

A and B are basically the same thing lol

[violet meteor]

4 is the last obligation

[austere dirge]

extremely bold of you to assume there will be a season 5

[austere dirge]

gang

[brittle forge]

Like I appreciate that they’re trying to listen but they’re slapping a class system on the specialists and saying they fixed it

[eager spire]

A is a waste of time, B is a bigger waste of time.

[eager spire]

I've said this before, it really seems like DICE just being like "FINE HERE HAVE YOUR CLASSES SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT"

[violet meteor]

To think I used to say they'd crank content out to summer of 2023

[brittle forge]

It might be an improvement but you’re trying to walk back a commitment that you made too hard

just take the L and put classes in the next game properly

I’d rather have the effort they’re putting into cobbling a class system go to anything else

[austere dirge]

im assuming management was just that up the ass about it. i dont blame the junior devs currently

[austere dirge]

dude i was so optimistic prior to release. u_u

[eager spire]

Also, I don't really like that claymores are being added with the class system update, on a side note

[austere dirge]

oh claymores are coming back? lol time to troll

[violet meteor]

Oh you don't like something

[eager spire]

yes

[violet meteor]

Neat

[brittle forge]

weren’t we all, at least until the beta came out

[eager spire]

they are

[violet meteor]

We are gonna have to get your pdf presentation soon

[austere dirge]

ill never forget streaming to my friend and both of us being so let down by the framerate lmfao

[eager spire]

Yeah, though there were a lot of things i was concerned about. Turns out i was right to be concerned.

[austere dirge]

me too. i was trying to be hopeful

[violet meteor]

Guess I don't wake up and think of 2042 as much but I'm very hopeful for what 5 is gonna be

Season 3 is way more important

[brittle forge]

I was hyped af after the reveal, when the specialists trailer came out, I was kinda concerned cause we didn’t know whether the specialists were supplementing the average soldiers or straight up replacing them. After the beta I was very concerned

[violet meteor]

Kinda wasted energy spending time waiting for disappointment

[fiery dawn]

@next onyx Another one bites the dust

[violet meteor]

Jokes on you rebel

The pp will never bite the dust

[fiery dawn]

[next onyx]

Good gun.

[dry coral]

[errant scarab]

when free boins

[violet meteor]

They are always free

[errant scarab]

no

[violet meteor]

You just have to give money

Yes

[errant scarab]

is no free

[queen lance]

Looks amazing though
They could easily add this to bf2042

[violet meteor]

Well nothing is free really

[violet meteor]

They couldn't easily add anything

[fiery dawn]

3 smgs down, 2 to go

You called me slow so now I'm GRINDIN

[violet meteor]

Whay are you talking about

[fiery dawn]

[queen lance]

True lol

[arctic grove]

it does not in the slightest\

[errant scarab]

whyyy

[queen lance]

No? Why not?

[arctic grove]

it is literally

[next onyx]

KILL FASTER.

[arctic grove]

half of a galil slapped onto some surplus AK

[arctic grove]

WAY YOU ARE ALIVE

[errant scarab]

many free games generate more than paid

[fiery dawn]

[queen lance]

I thought in the concept of bf2042 it could fit in nicely with some slight futuristic adjustments or even without any adjustments
But that's just my opinion
No need to feel triggered or anything

[arctic grove]

?? I'm not triggered

Just saying its ugly

[queen lance]

That's alright

I'm just saying if they wanted to they could make it work
What do you think about the ak24?
Do you think that's ugly aswell?

[next onyx]

Yes I am and eating chilli beans.

The Ak24 is cool.

But in game it's overshadowed.

[queen lance]

Why overshadowed?

[errant scarab]

they netf PF51?

[fiery dawn]

Yes thankfully

[dry coral]

wait how?

[errant scarab]

nooo why

[fiery dawn]

Way have you put the 1x-3x hybrid on the new red M5A3 skin? It adds a neat little cosmetic laser on the side rail and looks pretty nice in-game

[arctic grove]

you like chili beans?

[fiery dawn]

because it was op

[errant scarab]

is no

[fiery dawn]

it was performing on par with primary smgs lol

[arctic grove]

It was doing tooo much damage for a secondary @errant scarab

But imo the nerf was a bit much

[errant scarab]

now is useless

[arctic grove]

wouldn't say useless

just not that good anymore

[next onyx]

Yes.

[arctic grove]

hmm

[next onyx]

The SCAR is a better ranged rifle and the m5 is a better close ranged rifle.

[arctic grove]

well.. today's my birthday. did you get me anything 👁️

[next onyx]

ANd yeah Rebel I'm aware about the unique HAMR scope.

[fiery dawn]

happy birthday

[next onyx]

No I didn't sorry but Happy birthday man.

[arctic grove]

How sad

[next onyx]

The nerfed the Pf51 because it was a pocket mp9 which already is a good submachine gun.

[arctic grove]

I'll just take the bean can

[fiery dawn]

Also the red dot on top of the hybrid is bigger than usual which is real nice

[next onyx]

For a side arm it's too good.

[arctic grove]

thank u

[errant scarab]

you good?

[arctic grove]

yeah??

Also don't ask about the pfp. a friend of mine drew me a buff blobfish for my birthday. 👁️

[austere dirge]

[austere dirge]

[copper spindle]

We copycats?

Omg

[austere dirge]

i like to say kindred

[copper spindle]

Mhhmhh kindred, yess

[austere dirge]

[copper spindle]

Please excuse me as I appreciate Angel in another thread

[arctic grove]

Should i get another monitor for my bornday

[austere dirge]

how many u got rn...

[austere dirge]

yeas

[copper spindle]

1 ain't enough

[arctic grove]

I know

[copper spindle]

Wait until 2 isn't enough

[austere dirge]

get one now and then get another for ur next bornday

[arctic grove]

hmmm

Well I'm not looking for any monitors at 144hz or anything high

[errant scarab]

kill from casper drone in hc server is the best

[arctic grove]

just something cheap that works

[copper spindle]

As long as it works

[austere dirge]

amazon is ur friend

i have a friend that had two monitors, one horizontal and the other vertical

[arctic grove]

Yeah probs

my desk isn't the biggest

so I'm worrying on where tf to actually place it if i do get another

[austere dirge]

then the horizontal/vertical setup may be for u =w=

[copper spindle]

Vertical for the stream chats

[austere dirge]

in his case it was for the spotify view.... but so true

[copper spindle]

Yas

[arctic grove]

if anything really? I'd most of the time have spotify or discord open on the side lmao

[austere dirge]

then that vertical side monitor sounds quite handy

[arctic grove]

mhm

[copper spindle]

Tru Tru

[arctic grove]

welp

[austere dirge]

pull the trigger. its ur bornday

[arctic grove]

It's settled. I'll get another monitor

[austere dirge]

[copper spindle]

Huzzah

[arctic grove]

I just have to browse for something that works LOL

[next onyx]

Two monitors.

That sounds nice.

[austere dirge]

i know one person that does lmao

[next onyx]

I think Perri is on PS.

[austere dirge]

scout tf2

[copper spindle]

My thoughts as well

[austere dirge]

agreeable.

[fiery dawn]

2 monitors is basically a must

I can never go back to one

[arctic grove]

ew ps5 trash

[austere dirge]

im still sitting on the one 144hz monitor

most epic ps5 in history holy shit?

[fiery dawn]

my second monitor is like a cheap 10 year old square monitor but all I use it for is discord and music and stuff

[austere dirge]

sounds like the move

[fiery dawn]

it's just nice to have for convenience

[copper spindle]

I say both consoles are equally good in their own way 🤭

[austere dirge]

seconded

[next onyx]

Let's not trash on platforms.

People play on what the hell they want.

[arctic grove]

xbox better

[austere dirge]

yeass

[arctic grove]

Just said not to do that bro

[copper spindle]

Preach

[next onyx]

Xbox and PS have their own benefits.

[arctic grove]

Yeahh. but again i just need something cheap that supports portrait

[copper spindle]

^^^

[arctic grove]

did yk psony getting sued for hidden hardware issue they hid from ppl

i have a whole tiktok page dedicated to console wars

[copper spindle]

It's the same energy with Blackpink and Twice, except some groups are toxic af

[arctic grove]

seems like a huge waste of your time ngl

i got views until i turned it into a gaming page, ppl liked the drama i posted

starfield and stalker 2 on xbox

prolly overwatch 2 skins in the future

[next onyx]

Social media awards negativity.

[arctic grove]

troo

[next onyx]

Unfort.

It's the engagement that comes with it that it wants.

[copper spindle]

That's how media works now in the 21st century

[queen lance]

That's true

[arctic grove]

would u consider discord social media

[copper spindle]

Can you talk to others here?

[arctic grove]

I mean there's media on it

[thorn helm]

Im sorry but i had to do it!

[arctic grove]

idk

and its a social platform

so yes

[next onyx]

Yes.

[arctic grove]

NV modding is PAIN.

[arctic grove]

usa

[copper spindle]

Oh wait my bad

[austere dirge]

[next onyx]

People be like eww 2042 is unoptimised the engine is shit. Dude. It's fucking AMAZING that Obsidian worked with Bethesdas shitty engine.

[arctic grove]

why play nvwhen 4 has way better mods

[next onyx]

Frostbite is so much better than this.

Because New Vegas is a good game.

[arctic grove]

wayy are you having fun with new vegas modding

[next onyx]

It's actually not too bad.

[austere dirge]

yeah except NV runs on a potato >_>

[next onyx]

It's just been a long time since I've modded games.

I use to mod minecraft way back in the day.

[thorn helm]

you've been promoted Here is the medal I grant you
🏅 (Medal Of Earth) "Protect Earth At All costs"

[next onyx]

Back at 1.2.5. :D

[austere dirge]

i briefly modded stalker

[next onyx]

Which was TEN YEARS AGO.

[arctic grove]

You are probably having a better time than me when i modded New Vegas

[copper spindle]

They will do anything to destroy a career like damn

[arctic grove]

i feel like the way the gun moves in hi fire while u have a bipod activated shouldb e the default hip fire animation

it was my first game trying to mod and god i didn't understand any of it lmao

[austere dirge]

the cool part was learning that ukranians had to code in english too

[next onyx]

All I know is copy and paste the zip files into the main folder.

Get rid of the .bin file if playing minecraft.

I'm not sure if the .bin file procedure is a thing anymore.

[thorn helm]

woah i want one

[austere dirge]

i vividly recall having to delete that certain file if you were gonna mod minecraft 10 years ago

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[arctic grove]

check out the video i posted in streams and vids, i feel like that should be how the uns work in hip fire at all times

[next onyx]

I think it was the .bin file.

[arctic grove]

tbh talking about modding games has made me wanna try modding fallout 4 for the 100th time

[next onyx]

Fucking do it again!

[austere dirge]

i think it had a weirder name than that

[thorn helm]

Quantum electrodynamics (to explain the slowing down of light in a denser medium)
Huygens' principle somehow there's away to keep NV "night Vison in business

[next onyx]

OH WAIT.

IT WAS THE META.INF FILE.

I think.

[austere dirge]

YESSSSS

i was thinking the meta was in there somewhere

[next onyx]

OH THAT'S RIGHT. I think the files go into the .bin or some shit?

Or the .bin remaining unchanged.

IT's been so long.

[austere dirge]

i think .bin was literally just one of the folders/files

[next onyx]

Been a good decade lol.

[arctic grove]

Oh my apologies fonzi

i wager u are 99. because i am 2000

[next onyx]

I couldn't get Forge to work LOL.

Yeah I'm 1999.

[austere dirge]

i have fond memories of forge not being a thing and then forge being a finnicky thing

[arctic grove]

[arctic grove]

Are you trying to connect with my generation

[austere dirge]

no it seems like you're just disconnected from being awesome

[arctic grove]

saying fortnite dance isn't awesome

or funny

[pine roost]

It’s the opposite of

[austere dirge]

hitting the griddy is pretty awesome

[arctic grove]

Not really

stupid dance

[austere dirge]

generational divides are propaganda. cringe culture is dead

Notably, while cancer cells are able to activate the coagulation system, the hemostatic factors play a role in tumor progression. This opens the way to the development of bifunctional therapeutic approaches that are both capable of attacking the malignant process and resolving

A man of culture. I have also set up a Minigun in the exact same spot

[thorn helm]

please remove im offended teeheheheh luvs

the xm556 micro gun should replace this alienated weapons system

[arctic grove]

as much as I’d like to talk to you shmucks this late at night I gotta get some sleep

Way don’t abuse the Vulcan toooo much

[next onyx]

Take care Ruby!

Yeah I might get Crawford to tier 1 it depends.

[arctic grove]

LOL

if I ever make Lis T1 im Gonna go for crawlame

[thorn helm]

The XM556 weighs 16 pounds unloaded.

[arctic grove]

Good night ruby

[next onyx]

Take care dude!

[wide shore]

I’m gonna do Crawford after I finish this Lis slog

I literally have less than 40 vehicle destroys left with her

[fiery dawn]

Damn that’s impressive

I’ll never T1 her unless they change her mastery reqs which I don’t foresee them doing

[wide shore]

I destroy significantly less vehicles with her than I did when I just used the recoilless

[fiery dawn]

I believe it

[wide shore]

But with her I can use a rocket launcher & an ammo box

For now anyway

Hopefully I can get her done before season 3

[fiery dawn]

I’ve only got 4 specialists to T1 I usually just play Mackay cause I like to stay on the move at all times

[next onyx]

Mackay main through and through.

[fiery dawn]

Got him, Falck, Rao, and Paik to T1, I’m like 3/4ths of the way done with Casper but don’t really feel like actually grinding him all the way there…

[wide shore]

I’ve done: Falck, Angel, Boris & Paik

Almost Lis

[fiery dawn]

I’ll just play him occasionally because aggressively scouting and pushing with the drone can be fun

[low timber]

Only missing Lis and Crawford T1

[wide shore]

Respects for getting Irish

[next onyx]

I want to get tier 1 Irish but the need for his gadget is so infrequent.

[fiery dawn]

Yeah

[next onyx]

I might try for tier 1 Casper since he's the easiest.

Just needs lots of time.

[wide shore]

If you play nothing but rush chaos, it’s probably not so bad for Irish

[fiery dawn]

Honestly, I think Rao is the easiest

[next onyx]

If I can remember.

[fiery dawn]

You can literally get Rao done passively

Just play as him and get shot lmao

[low timber]

Exposure/Stranded Breakthrough

[next onyx]

I have Paik, Rao, Mackay, Falck and Angel tier 1.

[fiery dawn]

I’m just missing Angel out of those

[wide shore]

I can’t wait for Lis to be in my rear view mirror

Angel was my first T1

[next onyx]

Yeah I'm aware how but I also kinda forget cause Mackay.

[fiery dawn]

I should play him more. I’m like a thousand revives and resupplies away

[next onyx]

Mackay is a lot of fun to play.

[wide shore]

I’m not much of an aggressive player.

[low timber]

Anghel was fast to T1 back when he gave armor, as you could almost always get one point into his progress

[wide shore]

I think Crawford will fit me perfectly

[tame cobalt]

Mackay Gaming

[fiery dawn]

Yeah my buddy T1’d him pretty fast at the beginning but now he’s slow

[tame cobalt]

Boinrish

[low timber]

What annoys me with Crawford is that revives won’t count for his mastery

[tame cobalt]

Boinrish > boinford

[arctic grove]

yeah I wish revives counted for his mastery too. it’s pretty easy to just challenge his mini gun atp and get a headshot

especially after that AR headshot buff

[wide shore]

It’s easy as hell to just destroy the thing too

But, it’s not so bad

[tame cobalt]

it is that bad tho

pointless specialist

Just use cover with a normal gun, better than being a sitting duck on the shitty turret

Boris tier

Maybe even sub boris tier

[arctic grove]

lmao Boris tier

[chilly jacinth]

the turret is way better than the boris turret

cause the boris turret doesn't do anything

I've figured out that tactical conquest doesn't retain your battle pass progress unless you back out to the main menu after every match. You'll be stuck working on the same tier over and over, earning the same points over and over. At least on Xbox One.

[thorn helm]

999th hrs generated into BF4 & 3 weird back in 2012 i created the 9th regiment my anomaly is miraculous??

I ain't playing that mode anymore, although lobbies are shit atm

Can’t wait for classes to be added back in season 3🗿

[shy latch]

mmh, still not sure about classes on 2042

[still vault]

Neither am I

[patent path]

only classes I care about are the rich vs the poor

😎

[still vault]

Sounds like the bug in certain other Portal game modes. In that case it does remember the progress, even if you take several matches in a row, it just doesn't update in the menu until a while after you exit the game mode.

[shy latch]

who are gonna win?

[patent path]

I am

[shy latch]

but there wasn't a third option

[patent path]

then so be it

Search for breakthrough get attacking challenge impossible

[arctic grove]

bro how the fuck am i supposed to get m60 kills if i need it to get the m60

[tiny python]

Just use avancys like most clowns

[arctic grove]

use what?

[mental delta]

By unlocking M60, and you unlock it by getting kills with M60, which implies you have to get M60 unlocked, which also implies you get kills with...

[tiny python]

Avancys

Best lmg and gun in the game

[arctic grove]

im saying what as an invitation to explain

[arctic grove]

i don't have kills with or have the m60

[mental delta]

The PKP is a LMG which released with th base game, you get kills with it = you get your kills mission for M60 done

[tiny python]

Other than m60 you need to use PKP to get it

[tacit sphinx]

you can also get kills with the pkp-bp to progress that challenge (which it does tell you)

[mental delta]

Play PKP

[arctic grove]

i dont got the pkp ngl i skipped through from release to now

im level 27

[tacit sphinx]

you can also use the m60 in portal or by picking it up from the ground if someone else drops it on death

[tiny python]

Good luck trying to pick it up

Everyone using avancys today

[mental delta]

Get the PKP, get kills with it, and then you unlock M60

[arctic grove]

try my best to stay sane

[shy latch]

and by that I just remembered that I didn't unlock the 1911 side gun yet

shame on me

[mental delta]

Why ?

[mental delta]

It's shit, you didn't miss anything yet lad

[arctic grove]

is bf 2042 worth getting for xbox

[patent path]

it looks cool tho

[shy latch]

it's ok, at least I could say I unlocked it

just need to take back the MP28 and get 30 kills with it 😓

[patent path]

mp28 is pretty good, looks goofy tho lol

I wish they would just add the regular m320 in a future update

[tiny python]

Me rn with these shitty lobbies

[tiny python]

Only if you can get it cheap af or free

Otherwise no

[tame cobalt]

so in bf basically everyone has a positive kd

or wait

does downed and revived count as a death on kd

i know kd doesn't matter, just wondering

[tacit sphinx]

down doesn’t count as a full death yeah

[tame cobalt]

[tiny python]

Can't wait to be done with this AR

[fiery dawn]

which one

[tiny python]

Sfar

I'm about 100kills off the T1 and don't want to use it again

[cobalt dove]

[thorn helm]

Frog levitation
A group of researchers in the Netherlands and in England has made a frog levitate in a magnetic field. Although the feat might seem no more than a curiosity, researchers say that the floating amphibians may lead the way to a cheap alternative to space-based science experiments.

[chilly jacinth]

i swear to god

this game wants me to just play hourglass and breakaway

[fiery dawn]

How come? Sfar is amazing

[tiny python]

I don't really like it anymore

Would rather use AK or m16

[wheat pasture]

If someone tryna squad up Origin:CarK1ller Pc only

[wheat pasture]

Ak24 🎉

[steel orchid]

2002: 64

2005: 64

2011: 64

2015: 64

2018: 64

2021: 128

[sharp marten]

?

[steel orchid]

Go slow DICE

[wheat pasture]

2022: 64

[steel orchid]

LMAO

[wheat pasture]

true tho

2023:256?

[steel orchid]

Oh no

We should do 96

[thorn helm]

[wheat pasture]

On ps,xbox do they have big aim assist? non-crossplay is getting kinda easy

[fiery dawn]

Fair. I do like the AK and the M16 slaps

[mental delta]

We should have gotten 48vs48 first

[tiny python]

Yeah and they aren't cringe like avancys

[fiery dawn]

Actually I’m kind of glad they did 128 this time because now they know everything works better for them with 64 and they’ll go back to the formula they had lol

[fiery dawn]

trueeee lol

[steel orchid]

What I’m saying. Go slow, DICE

[sharp marten]

What’s wrong with 128?

Tbh go more

100 each team

[mental delta]

Yup it would let them more time to optimize maps design

[steel orchid]

Yes

[steel orchid]

It just felt like DICE needed to wait and make a gradual increase instead of jumping to a doubled player count

[thorn helm]

[solid imp]

I wanted this to end with

a cheap alternative to the usual land-dwelling frogs

[mental delta]

They were not prepared to make 128 players count designed maps, they need to come back to a smaller player count in the next game to me, even if it doesn't have to be 64 players, it could be 84 or a little bit more

[sharp marten]

My man 128 isn’t that bad compared to other games look at planetside 1000 per lobby Maybe more

[mental delta]

Yeah but Planetside is... well you know how it is

[sharp marten]

Tbh I’d love for there to be more players that be sweet

[steel orchid]

How’s everybody’s server connection in Planetside

[sharp marten]

From what I’ve seen pretty good

When and if they drop the 3rd game I hope it comes to Xbox

I know it’s on PlayStation

[steel orchid]

[chilly jacinth]

last time i played planetside 2 it was laggy as shit

[thorn helm]

ikr

[mental delta]

Wtf did I just read dude ?

[chilly jacinth]

it was like 2 years ago i think

[steel orchid]

Yeah. Team coordination would be fucked

[sharp marten]

Can you not read

[wheat pasture]

512 players 21 flags in 1 map 👍🏿

[mental delta]

It's already hard to cooperate with 128 players and squads of 4, I couldn't imagine how it would look like with more than 128 players

[sharp marten]

I see Marcus lehto asking a lot of interesting questions on Twitter gives me some hope for the next bf game

[steel orchid]

Unless there were like 11 separate channels per team

[thorn helm]

128 v 128 ???

[sharp marten]

Yes

[mental delta]

Yeah especially on map design and cosmetics, I hope they already began the development of the next game

[sharp marten]

They have

I’ll take a year 2 for 2042 tho

Gives me something to do on bf while a new one is being made

[mental delta]

How do you know Mister Garvey ?

[solid imp]

Discord needs whispers and this becomes amazing 🙂

[sharp marten]

Why would He be asking all these questions? Just to talk to the community for no reason come on now think

[thorn helm]

good luck with that, you know getting military grade internet and consoles or pc

[mental delta]

I don't think it will get a second year of post-launch development, which will probably allow them to get more efficient on the next game's development

[sharp marten]

Who knows 🤷‍♂️

[steel orchid]

Assuming the player count was 48v48 and there were 4 people per squad there’d have to be 13 separate channels per team. 12 for the squads and a 13th for the squad leaders

[mental delta]

Yeah but I think it's disturbing he asks them only now, wouldn't he have asked them earlier if the development had already begun ?

[sharp marten]

I doubt you’d need military grade internet but go off

[solid imp]

Even in 32v32 my group did this back in bf3/4 and add a few extra channels for tankers and pilots to do their own coordinated activities.

The other version is commander in a channel with squad leads on whispers and squad leaders are in channel with their troops

It's amazing

[thorn helm]

i want a fiber optic laser satellite dish take me back to the ol' days

[sharp marten]

He hasn’t just recently started asking and he’s probably going off of what people say about 2042 and implementing them to the next bf

[steel orchid]

Big brain.

[thorn helm]

1000 beam ghz

[steel orchid]

It sounds amazing

[thorn helm]

who?

[mental delta]

I hope you're right and that the next game's development already began a long time ago

[solid imp]

It could still be amazing if it were easy to get more than 4 people at a time into the same server 😦

[steel orchid]

Yuh

[thorn helm]

Can you amplify internet speed?
To boost your internet speed, you can try repositioning your router, or even buy a new one. If you're willing to try a more technical solution, you can change your Wi-Fi network's signal channel. You should also check that you aren't being cheated out of internet speed by your internet service provider.

wow ty goodle

[steel orchid]

Pack it up

Drive several miles out to the nearest… internet place

Signal now unmatched

Hook PC up to car battery

It’s Battlefieldin’ time

[thorn helm]

gtg bylvvys

[sharp marten]

[sharp marten]

Time will only tell

[calm bison]

This is the way

[mental delta]

I hope it will tell well

[calm bison]

I loved the part where Battlefield said “It’s Battlefieldin’ time” and then beat the shit out of CoD

[steel orchid]

Most profound moment in I’ve ever experienced in cinema

[steel orchid]

I actually stood up in the theatre and cheered

[sharp marten]

Now what did Marcus mean when he tweeted: Hey #battlefield-legacy-titles players. Question about locations, which are expensive to build, along with well designed map variety.

Would you prefer more maps and more variety from large to small layouts in fewer locations or less variety in layouts but more unique locations?

[steel orchid]

The latter

[sharp marten]

Huh

Tbh when he was talking about maps being expensive I was thinking you know what bring back paid dlc I certainly wouldn’t mind it

But more maps and more variety would be nice as well

[mental delta]

Tbh I still don't understand wtf he has been trying to ask us lmaooo

[steel orchid]

Why not ask if we wanted more maps with less variety or less maps with more variety

[sharp marten]

Tweet at him and ask

[visual gazelle]

He's asking if you prefer more map layouts (large, small, vertical, flat, etc.) at the expensive of less unique locations, or more unique locations but less map layouts.

[mental delta]

But what does he mean by it, I mean what's less maps with more variety ? If it's like BF2042, then, shit I don't want it

[hearty flame]

Isnt lehto doing lore/story stuff? dunno what impact he'd have on game design really

[steel orchid]

I think @visual gazelle has the answer

[mental delta]

You're destroying my mind lad

[steel orchid]

IMHO lore in Battlefield is about as welcome as it is in Just Cause

[sharp marten]

He’s the game director of battlefield

[mental delta]

I don't think I am intelligent enough to understand sorry mate

[visual gazelle]

For example, the first options means a variety of small, large, vertical, or flat maps but more of them are located in say Africa. The second options you'll have maps in say Africa, Japan, France, etc. but you might get mostly large maps, with only some small or vertical maps.

[hearty flame]

the only good story stuff dice has done is bc1/2. people say last tiger was good but i havent seen it

[steel orchid]

Will that matter if he’s constantly being dragged down by Wilson?

[sharp marten]

Who knows but he is one of the reasons halo is very successful

[mental delta]

Ok first one ! Fuck the second option it's just BF2042 in disguise

[sharp marten]

So I’d say that Wilson will let him do what he thinks is right with battlefield

[steel orchid]

It worked well in Battlefield 3 and 4, where most of the maps were in Iran and China, respectively

[visual gazelle]

A good example of the first option might be Insurgency: Sandstorm. All of the maps are set in the Middle East. But by doing so, they save resources by re-using assets, and as a result can make more variety of map layouts. Like one set in a mall, one set in a construction field, etc.

[steel orchid]

I wouldn’t trust Wilson to be impressed by Marcus’ work

[sharp marten]

But I get what @visual gazelle is saying he also commented to someone saying “I think it’s important for people to understand that locations take a very long time to build out and design”

[mental delta]

Exactly, I prefer getting only a small amount of locationa but a lot of different maps layouts and a lot of maps, than maps in a lot of different locations but they are all crap like BF2042 ones

[hearty flame]

then again it was EA that literally made anthem playable lol

[steel orchid]

But who knows

[hearty flame]

ie giving them flying

[visual gazelle]

Yes. New locations means making new assets from the ground up.

[sharp marten]

I mean he could be in the discord watching

Or someone at dice could be for him

[mental delta]

You didn't see shit

[steel orchid]

Boy, I would sure love it if the next game had better support for players with mics

I think it would be great if there was also adequate play testing

[visual gazelle]

Being able to talk to other squads would be amazing.

[steel orchid]

“Hey, can you send 2 of your guys to Delta? Thanks.”

Just like that

[sharp marten]

Does Wilson have a Twitter?

I can’t seem to find it

[shy latch]

"nope, we are camping on alpha"

😂

[steel orchid]

Riiight…

That does sound more realistic

[shy latch]

I can imagine a sort of Battlefield Friends situations with a team voip

[steel orchid]

Where the voip is disorganized and sound mixing sucks and everybody’s talking over everybody

[shy latch]

something like this one 🤣 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foSt1bjthxw

[visual gazelle]

So to answer the question, I think in the end I'd prefer the first option. More variety in map layouts would keep things fresh in the long run. I'm more likely to get bored of similar layouts that similar aesthetics/locations.

[visual gazelle]

Here's the original Tweet in question.

[steel orchid]

I remember that one

[steel orchid]

“Oh he is gonna blow his load when he sees how many ribbons he has”

[mossy badge]

!jumbo

[mossy badge]

[shy latch]

lol, this is even better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf4fSxDjSu0

those guys are so hilarious

so even if could sound amazing having voip with the whole team, in practice is gonna be a bad idea, very very bad idea

[mossy badge]

[shy latch]

and proximity voip, even worse

[primal marten]

permanent infantry only mode when cuz fuck vehicles

[steel orchid]

That’s why I suggested 8 voips for all 8 squads and a ninth for the squad leaders to communicate

[solid imp]

I think I agree but look at how long Locker and Metro continue to carry in folks' memories as fun maps (yes I know that's controversial). They were small and very little to differentiate one game from another but those maps have a huge amount of detail and every objective, corridor, and bottleneck has something "unique". I think Metro and Locker are "Option B" in the Lehto tweet.

[shy latch]

oh, I didn't read that message, sorry

[steel orchid]

Nah you’re good

[primal marten]

remove grenade barrels

seriuosly fuck that shit

@royal swan

[royal swan]

I'm fine lmao

[mental delta]

Her dance is making me crazy dude why would you even dance like that

Rush, every single map

[sharp marten]

[mental delta]

It's CQC so it's the best gamemode for it

And there's rush 64vs64 sometimes

[mossy badge]

[mossy badge]

perform it in front of a mirror crabs and you will understand why that dance is amazing

[mental delta]

Do it first cause I don't want to get injured because of a strange dance I performed in front of my mirror

That's what I was saying, yet your concussion hits in that gamemode

[sharp marten]

Tbh I’d like to see more military call ins like say HIMARS strikes maybe even another commander mode

Or even artillery that people can man

I’m hoping the next vehicle added in 2042 are either LAV’s or tank destroyers

[solid imp]

Scrolling through that lehto tweet and it's really clear to me that how they set their priorities to appeal to the "battlefield playerbase" is not going to be easy. Doing a tally of which want "more maps" vs "variety" and it's split nearly 50/50 with a large contingent saying "do both" lol

[sharp marten]

Yeah I saw that as well

[solid imp]

And some folks seem to be confused by the word "expensive" as in literally meaning money.. which it's not. I'm sure that means available developer cycles per week/month

[next onyx]

AA Jeeps would be cool to see again.

They were a thing in bf3 in the last dlc.

[sharp marten]

I think I remember send a pic I want to see if I’m thinking of the right thing

[mossy badge]

[solid imp]

more Technicals 🙂

[next onyx]

@sharp marten RU equivalent.

[solid imp]

more map spawned technicals like this

[next onyx]

Ah.

Gunner SUV's.

[solid imp]

exactly

[next onyx]

Mh would he nice if the LATV4 were retroactively fixed.

Not fixed.

Updated.

[solid imp]

LAT seems okay to me.. what needs fixing updating?

[arctic grove]

I’ll never understand why the LATV’s have 30 and 50mm cannons

[next onyx]

Just give it a weak AA option.

25mm AA cannon. Do damage but not enough to solo helis.

[solid imp]

all the pilots in channel just got a headache

[next onyx]

I'd rework helis from the ground up but there's so many little things here and there.

[arctic grove]

As a half pilot? Yes I did

[solid imp]

the 30mm trades off hull damage with splash damage against passengers in the transports

[chilly jacinth]

skill issue

[solid imp]

the 50mm does a good amount of damage on hull

[next onyx]

30mm is anti infantry.

[solid imp]

it still is even though infantry is in a helicopter 🙂

[next onyx]

Alright.

[low timber]

ZU-23-2 AA cannon

[solid imp]

Gaining control of deployed map assets creates reasons to control an area rather than sprinting by it

[low timber]

Funny how the BC2 BMD-3 silhouette still has the ZU-23-2 on it

[sharp marten]

Oh shit now I remember hell yeah bring those back

[low timber]

I’m still thinking its an oversight from the BMD-3 AA version

[mental delta]

[mossy badge]

[next onyx]

I've never found the 30MM to do a super amount to anything honestly.

It's really only effective on the AT chopper and the ST chopper which has two.

[mental delta]

[solid imp]

Yeah but in the end the LAT isn't meant to be a heavily equipped anti-anything, it's primarily transport with some offensive capabilities

with open windows that are easy to shoot in as the defensive tradeoff

and when people were all using the 30mm on the Bolte, the problem was due to how many were spawning and the insane splash damage at first, not the 30mm itself

[arctic grove]

The bolte was so aids at launch LOL

[solid imp]

yeah having 3 boltes circling an area with a cannon that would cause your soldier to stutter into the ground literally unable to do anything wasn't great

mw2 campaign this week

[granite island]

Grinding jet is painful

I just want to shoot the missile without locking on

Why is it 60 kills

I can literally only get 2 kills with a jet in 1 match for 30 mins

Mfs must think I'm an ace combat player

[sharp marten]

Go into a air superiority game

[granite island]

Even the ai have better aim than real players

So it's even harder

And it seems every ai is carrying a rocket launcher that's locks on

Or a recoiless

It's like they can predict where I'm about to fly

And they shoot the recoiless and one shot me

Repair system

Useless

Doesn't even matter if the jet explodes in one hit

[arctic grove]

I mean

AI in most games are usually just given aimbot

[fiery dawn]

Air superiority is the way to go

[shy latch]

if an AI uses aimbot you can report as cheating

[chilly jacinth]

would be funny

[fading wharf]

guys can you change the language in bf2042?

[arctic grove]

cause BF2042 did something right with the AI and that was give the clearly defined assault AIs assault gadgets

that’s uh
why you see so many rocket bois

[shy latch]

on pc you can do it easily, on console I guess you need to change the system language

[fading wharf]

i am on pc

i tried to change it on ea but i just changes the language in the app

cuz that medic woman sounds like a old ass grandma in my language

[shy latch]

inside origin: right click on the game, select properties, select advanced properties and from there you can change language

[fading wharf]

ty

[shy latch]

np 👌

[sharp marten]

New cosmetic idea for Boris he’s wearing a giant sprite cranberry can for chrismas

[patent path]

seriously just give us Santa Boris it's not much of an ask

it's already made

[arctic grove]

why did they remove Santa Boris again

[patent path]

because reddit didn't like it

[radiant prism]

Because it was never meant to be released to the public to begin with

[patent path]

Bet ya if it weren't for the outrage on reddit it would have been released

[radiant prism]

I think people overestimate the influence reddit has

Its such a minority of the community

[patent path]

also the most vocal

[calm bison]

I mean

[copper fulcrum]

Just do what Halo did.

Absolutely stop interacting with reddit entirely

[calm bison]

It’s not like DICE is interacting with the 2042 subreddit

[fiery dawn]

wait why doesn’t reddit like santa boris?

[calm bison]

Because muh immersion

Some of them need to immerse themselves in some bitches

[fiery dawn]

who gives af 🤣

[fiery dawn]

true

[sharp marten]

💀 Ong

[calm bison]

People were upset because the tone of the Santa skin heavily contrasted that of the world of 2042

[arctic grove]

2042 has an awesome fucking gritty story and you wanna see Boris running around in a Santa fit

[fiery dawn]

not really bro xD

awesome gritty story is kind of overselling it

[patent path]

it's just a video game

[arctic grove]

2042 has a really great setting behind it, everything except the game itself can be taken seriously from soundtrack, lore, shit like that

meanwhile the gameplay is just

wow

I LOVE SHOOTING CLONES OF MYSELF 80000 TIMES

you can tell this game was meant to follow a dark setting, it’s literally what the soundtrack was composed for

everything about that is enforced outside of the specialists and DICEs bad choices for designing skins for them

[fiery dawn]

I don’t like the “it’s just a video game” take but yeah the story and lore and world isn’t really that serious or well done. At least not enough to warrant backlash for adding a character skin that stands out a bit

[calm bison]

I mean

[arctic grove]

it’s not realistic or anything but it gets the point across that the world has gone to shit and nobody stands out. everyone is fighting for their countries existence at this point and both sides have resorted to controversial means of doing so

[calm bison]

We’re talking the collapse of over 40 nations

A second Great Depression

Rising sea levels

[arctic grove]

and that’s fucking epic, but it was done in game so poorly

[calm bison]

The world seems pretty bleak

[arctic grove]

i would’ve loved a 2042 campaign where I fight a Russian naval infantry platoon in half sunken crimea or something

they could’ve done so much with 2042s setting

the specialists are bad enough but muh lord, really guys, Santa Boris

[dull hornet]

Hello, i have a technical issue with the game. During the match like halfway to it game like freezes for 2 min then i get kicked to the main menu? Anyone had simmilar issues or know any solutions?

[arctic grove]

sometimes I listen to 2042s map osts and imagine myself as an ordinary Russian or American soldier just following my COs orders and fighting over things as foundational that we take for granted irl like grain or even oil, nothing has any particularly beautiful instruments like in 1 and V and that’s good if you ask me, cause 2042 says fuck that the world is shit now go fight

[fiery dawn]

Yeah the setting they chose for 2042 is cool and has lots of potential but it’s all mostly wasted and it’s pretty sad

[copper fulcrum]

You mean every Battlefield?

[arctic grove]

you don’t shoot clones of yourself in any other battlefield that doesn’t have both factions play the same character models

don’t reply with “this” because that’s not even true

[fiery shoal]

anyone complaining about what the pixels looks like in a casual shooter should reevaluate their priorities anyway

[arctic grove]

in 4 you’ve got normal marines, Russian army, and PLA

what is cloney about that

ah yes, attack the person themselves and not the argument

[fiery shoal]

this goes to absolutely anyone

[arctic grove]

yeah but that’s illogical what you just said

i don’t need to re evaluate my life just because I want a game to be more immersive like it clearly was MEANT to be

[fiery shoal]

its a casual sandbox shooter, why do you care if the player model you look at is a specific version vs a generic soldier

[copper fulcrum]

Every Assault wore the same exact gear lol

[fiery shoal]

if you think bf titles are immersive/realistic/authentic in any way you mislead yourself

[arctic grove]

at least you can pass that off as standard issued equipment to a number of anonymous people underneath

[fiery shoal]

its literally like a step more immersive/realistic/authentic than cod at best...

[arctic grove]

you might not find BF immersive for gameplay elements but that’s you, I still can feel like I’m in any other mainstream BFs world

largely because both factions are clearly defined

there’s nothing wrong with that

[copper fulcrum]

And nothing wrong with what we have currently

[arctic grove]

everything is wrong with it

[copper fulcrum]

Unless you're finding and creating reasons to get angry at it

[arctic grove]

hey wait a minute that looks like the same 13 falcks on my team

[fiery shoal]

LOL "my preference is perfectly acceptable, anything else is just wrong"

[copper fulcrum]

Hey wait a minute that looks like the same guy with a balaclava on my team

[arctic grove]

never said that

just don’t say I need to re evaluate my life for my preference

[copper fulcrum]

That's the same guy with a red beret 30 times over

They all have a Defibrillator too

[arctic grove]

at least in 4 I can say it’s standard issue equipment to a number of anonymous faces

[fiery shoal]

you should though, how petty is it to care what player models look like in a hobby, in a casual sandbox shooter, where it absolutely means nothing unless you decide to be concerned over it

[arctic grove]

How many people have carbonic profile pic as their own now? 😂

[copper fulcrum]

Wow my entire team is this same person

[kind warren]

Switched back to the ac-42. Getting much better results than the ghostmaker. I only abandoned it because the ads glitch was pissing me off

[fiery shoal]

yea have a preference for what you want, but to really be butthurt over it and call what we have now wrong is just concerning

[fiery dawn]

Just the one guy

[copper fulcrum]

It's literally just me lol

[arctic grove]

in this hobby sandbox shooter, I would like it to be better at getting its theme that clearly mattered enough to have a soundtrack and map themes built around

I like it

that’s all I’m saying

[fiery shoal]

if your talking about me, ive been using this pfp before carbonic was in this server iirc

[fiery dawn]

Carbo posted his edited picture before the event started and he yoinked it immediately lul

[arctic grove]

how long have you been a member here @fiery shoal

I don’t necessarily seethe over it but 2042 is not immersive, simple as that

[copper fulcrum]

Too long

[fiery shoal]

you mean that same theme where the specifically made the soldiers ex pats to justify the player models? cherry picking i see

[arctic grove]

a game can be a casual sandbox shooter and still have an actual theme

[arctic grove]

no yeah that was stupid lol, that’s the entire point..

[fiery shoal]

if you think i just said there isnt a theme you should learn how to read

[arctic grove]

2018 that’s about as OG as it gets

[copper fulcrum]

By the way the term is No-Pat, not Ex-Pat

[fiery shoal]

yea i dont really care about the lore or world

[copper fulcrum]

Non-Patrioted

[fiery shoal]

im just in bf to shoot scrubs

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah same
