battlefield-2042

[rotund vortex]

it can be but so are guns

[tame cobalt]

Have none of yall watched broken machine play bf?

[solar tinsel]

ok thats a silly argument

[arctic grove]

Who?

[rotund vortex]

im not wasting my anti vehicle utility on someone i can just shoot

[solar tinsel]

Thats your choice then, just because you don't doesn't mean others use the same strategy

[tame cobalt]

Watching broken machine dominate lobbies taught me what an incredible anti-infantry tool C4/dynamite is

[next onyx]

C5 is too good against infantry.

[rotund vortex]

i dont watch battlefield youtube

[solar tinsel]

C4/C5 has always been the "versitile explosive" gadget. Infantry, laying traps, vehicles, hell equipment back in the BF2 days

[rotund vortex]

yes but my gun is also good against infantry and garbage against vehicles

so i save my C5 for vehicles

[solar tinsel]

speaking of BF2 though, damn did those C4 literally drop straight to the ground 😆 a harsh realization after going back to play a few rounds

[silk surge]

AK74U feels like a weaker version of PBX. The TTK feels really high.

[solar tinsel]

I always thought it felt pretty weak in Portal, curious as to if there have been modifications for AoW

[keen karma]

supposedly they fixed the bug of getting on the drone, but I already found a way to get on

[arctic grove]

I meann it issss an explosive

[next onyx]

It's extremely easy to abuse.

[silk surge]

It heavily underperforms the other SMGs, including P90.

[arctic grove]

L drone camper

[solar tinsel]

Thats too bad, that said, DICE has been good at taking second passes at the vault weps like the M16 and M60

[silk surge]

At least that's my first impression of it.

[solar tinsel]

with any luck, 3.0 will have another pass at the AKs74U if it truly is under par

[next onyx]

It has some range behind it at least.

The AKS is weird.

Not in game.

[arctic grove]

I wish they’d stop picking garbage sidearms Im never gonna use for a vault weapon

[silk surge]

M16 is fucking amazing now that they fixed the cartoonishly high recoil. That gun shreds.

[tame cobalt]

You don't agree its anti-vehicle usage should be tuned down? That throw rate + throw distance + wingsuit/grapple/emp... It's THE best way to kill land vehicles. What's even the point of engineer class then?

[next onyx]

If you think of it like the pp29 it shreds.

The mp412 is amazing Ruby.

[arctic grove]

Oh I know it is

But like

[next onyx]

If you got the shots you can double tap people with ease.

[solar tinsel]

agreed!

[arctic grove]

I have to use the M44 and I can never find lobbies In portal

[solar tinsel]

I don't think so, I think that despite the rate and distance, it STILL requires a relatively closer distance (compared to launchers) and so IMO when you're talking about infantry "in proximity" I think reducing the number of potential threads (by what classes can carry it) is more substantive of a balance choice than nerfing them

I also feel that way because having it so C5 is underpowered, could be a "feels bad" experience. Because... who wants to use a womp womp C5? 😆

[rotund vortex]

land vehicles are easily able to counter most people walking up to them and half the time a mackay or sundance landing on the roof gets "run over"

[stiff pollen]

Oh btw I think they broke the APS on the ram in this update

Wasn’t shooting down my projectiles when I played with it

[rotund vortex]

the ram is so annoying

just made the bolte obselete

[silk surge]

Same. I've had 947/1200 progress on it for months because there hasn't been any good featured PORTAL modes for it for ages now.

[stiff pollen]

Well the bolte was obsolete for months

They need to rework it onto a one man tank

Ala the light tank from BF1

[rotund vortex]

and then they dug it into a deeper grave

[solar tinsel]

I think the Bolte has just had serious identity crises from day one 😆

[stiff pollen]

Tbh tho I can see it being good but it being in the heavy vehicle slot and requiring a good gunner is too much a hassle

[silk surge]

They should have done that from the start. Making a 2-man vehicle with 30mm a transport was completely braindead.

[solid imp]

it didn't fit in the transport slot either since it transports basically no one.. light armor category could work

[solar tinsel]

honestly at this point, give it a LMG/mingun only, give it full armor front plating, and make it a transport vehicle again. More protection than jeeps - but less capacity than jeeps

[rotund vortex]

just sounds a bit like a hovercraft

[solid imp]

give it mine sweeper chains 😄

[solar tinsel]

true, but that thing also floats around like a mofo and can hold 4

I actually dont understand the hovercraft either

why... there's no water maps

[rotund vortex]

theres a bit of water on some maps

[arctic grove]

Because it looks cool

[solar tinsel]

barely ha

[rotund vortex]

they could make the bolte a vehicle assassin or something

idk how to implement that

[solid imp]

hovercraft would have been killer on flood zone

[rotund vortex]

just something to counter ground vehicles

[tame cobalt]

I just think the throw rate should be reduced tbh. I don't think it would feel bad at all, it would still be an incredibly versatile offensive gadget that you can kill anything on the ground with. It just makes one shotting vehicles with a non-anti-vehicle class take a bit more skill/luck and less cheese

[silk surge]

Remember when hovercrafts were the meta?

[solid imp]

I think they shouldn't have removed wall climbing

[silk surge]

Feels like ages ago.

[solar tinsel]

fair enough. If it was only fire rate, I'd accept it.

[tame cobalt]

[silk surge]

Remember when they had breakthrough objectives on rooftops?

[solar tinsel]

ha yup

[silk surge]

Remember when everyone was running around with PP-29?

[tame cobalt]

Just add a mech that has intentional wall climbing

[arctic grove]

I miss PP29 Meta

[solar tinsel]

At one point I was making a Portal mode that was like a "journey through the patches" and one was like, everyone swaps to the PP-29....

[solid imp]

YES - I will say it again as I've said it before... S4 will introduce a basic mech as a nod to being halfway between 1942 and 2142

[solar tinsel]

I stopped bothering with it at some point though

[rotund vortex]

idk why but i never used the PP29 in its meta

[tame cobalt]

Hopefully

[silk surge]

Remember when you couldn't revive people next to walls? Or how your entire vehicle loadout would hard reset after joining a match with an empty loadout?

[arctic grove]

I ended up T1ing it during meta

[solid imp]

Or how all your settings would reset when loading the game? Or when you would fall into the elevator shafts?

[solar tinsel]

one of the ones was that you couldnt look horizontally or whatever that mouse bug was 😆

[rotund vortex]

i only have the K30 T1, about to do M5A3

[silk surge]

That's a pretty good idea lol

[solar tinsel]

I had an event every minute or so for each patch but I gave up on it after like 1.0 or something

[drowsy shuttle]

sundance grenades still doesn't work properly.... its unbealivable... what the fuck are they doing?

[solar tinsel]

I deleted it sadly I think

[arctic grove]

I’ve got a bunch of the guns T1

[solid imp]

what's broken about them?

[arctic grove]

Not caring about a boring character

[silk surge]

As a console player, I didn't have to endure that one 😂 But I remember people complaining about it.

[solar tinsel]

same here ha

[rotund vortex]

Sundance wingsuit is fun

her grenades are boring

[solid imp]

imagine if Rao could somehow disrupt using the wingsuit midflight 😄

[rotund vortex]

literally just better frag grenades

[tidal hornet]

of course they are boring they are grenades

[drowsy shuttle]

you switch between them and still doesn't display the correct ones you gonna throw... it throws the scatter when you have the anti-armor or vice versa... same with the icon...

[rotund vortex]

exactly

[silk surge]

Remember when Boris turret was unironically better than the average player?

[solid imp]

ahh yea I forgot about that one... that sucks it's still happening

[upbeat sluice]

Lol they're literally the best nades in the game

[rotund vortex]

they are powerful in closed spaces but just boring

[tidal hornet]

they should add that back so hes actually useful now

[solar tinsel]

The Boris turret honestly never bothered me for some reason.

[solid imp]

They should make it so boris can mount his turret on a vehicle

[drowsy shuttle]

its like 3 months they still didn't fix it... and apparently was in the patch notes for 2.2

[tidal hornet]

they should make his turret a vehicle

[silk surge]

Remember when Sundance Anti-armor grenade hit anything except the target you were aiming at?

[solid imp]

and then Irish could mount his APS on a vehicle

[arctic grove]

How would that work tho? it isn’t electronic

[rotund vortex]

imagine if Rao didnt take an hour to hack

[drowsy shuttle]

thats exactly why i play with sundance.. just to piss people off lol

[solid imp]

I know I know... but I just really love imagining that wide eyed moment of WTF did I stop flying

[solar obsidian]

its called a sniper

[tidal hornet]

dont care die squirrel woman

[solid imp]

trolling > killing sometimes 😄

[solar tinsel]

I wonder if there's an argument to be made for Sundance that they only have the scatter grenades, but you get 2 at a time again (with a slower recharge) - now that Assault is focusing on anti-infantry

[solar obsidian]

hitting them with shotgun like the bird brain they are 🙂

[arctic grove]

?? I don’t play her

[rotund vortex]

just make her more boring?

[drowsy shuttle]

since they made that change for only 1 that they got fucked up.. never worked properly anymore... and they still didn't fixed it or they don't know how to fix it...

[next onyx]

People really dislike sundance huh.

[tidal hornet]

talking about the squirrel woman

[arctic grove]

I’m aware

[silk surge]

Yeah, they should buff any type of AV now. Respect for using the right pronouns btw 👍

[stiff pollen]

They need to change her T1 honestly

[solid imp]

lol I truly didn't know the hatred ran this deep

[drowsy shuttle]

i love they hate her... its delicious... finger-licking-good.

[stiff pollen]

That’s all I care about lol

[solar tinsel]

To be real: people started hating them the moment they realized they weren't a "her" in the BF lore

[rotund vortex]

what?

[stiff pollen]

Besides Mackay is the better PVP character

[tidal hornet]

what

[solar tinsel]

👍

[stiff pollen]

That ADS movement speed buff is nutty

[rotund vortex]

sundance isnt a her?

[solid imp]

op af

[stiff pollen]

No a they

[solar tinsel]

Nope

[rotund vortex]

oh

[stiff pollen]

Yeah you BIGOT

[silk surge]

Once the helmet was removed, people were seething.

[tidal hornet]

does it classify as a her tho

[arctic grove]

no

[rotund vortex]

i just dislike them because boring grenades

[stiff pollen]

The grenades suck now tbqh

[solar tinsel]

I'm not saying any of you are being disrespectful lol, but that literally WAS a reason people lost their minds though

[rotund vortex]

i didnt know there was lore

i just assumed everyone turned up

[solar tinsel]

yeah I'd say give Sunance x2 scatter, drop the whole "I have the wrong grenade issue" and just leave it be

[solid imp]

bf fans mate.... put a female soldier in ww2 theme and people lose their minds

[solar tinsel]

lol fair enough

[arctic grove]

all the specialists have some form of lore

[rotund vortex]

lore boring

fighting only good bit

[silk surge]

2042 lore is very interesting imo, and it's a crime that it's not properly represented in the actual game.

[arctic grove]

tbh

Xbox Series, bf2042, ger, just add styyyr on xbox or right here

[rotund vortex]

not sure if thats sarcastic

[arctic grove]

Fr

[tame cobalt]

They classify as being hot tho

[arctic grove]

👀

[solar tinsel]

There was a lot of potential, Im fine with a MP only game though too

[rotund vortex]

i would write the best lore tho

[tame cobalt]

[stiff pollen]

My issue with the female soldiers in BFV was literally just cause they were so loud lol. Their death screams felt louder than the male ones

[solar tinsel]

Sundance is definitely the coolest. Them and Irish probably, if we're talking cool factor

[silk surge]

2042 is the first game I've kept completely up to date on the lore. The people handling the world building are doing a great job.

[tidal hornet]

your ears just pick out moaning easier

[stiff pollen]

[tidal hornet]

its a human response

[stiff pollen]

[drowsy shuttle]

i couldn't care less about if a character/operator is a she or a he.. if it has cool features im gonna play with them... but funny thing is... i once saw a female streamer not playing with angel because he is a guy... since she is a woman she only played with falck lol how ridiculous that is...

[stiff pollen]

Even though Angel was the OP spec at launch

[rotund vortex]

i play them based on if they are dozer or mackay

[solid imp]

Irish takes #1 spot the man by far has got the cool factor cranked up

[rotund vortex]

simple criteria

[solid imp]

dude has those red beats 😄

[solar tinsel]

I mean I can get behind representation, but I agree she'd be missing out on fun gameplay experiences. Then again, she could have just said she hated his voice lines and I'd be "fair enough!"

[solar tinsel]

Yeah I really want to get him to T1, Im only at T3, maybe T2 though

[silk surge]

I mean yeah, he was modelled after a legend. RIP.

[drowsy shuttle]

nah, she literally said because she's a woman and falck is the only support/medic female character lol

[rotund vortex]

dozer t1 looks sick but getting it is hard

[solid imp]

another reason the lore dropped 😦

[tame cobalt]

What u mean mackay isn't cool? Doesn't everyone like his epic lines
"I'm not overconfident, I'm just better than everyone else!"

"Oh I'm ready! I've already climbed everest, it's been all downhill from there. ...Ya get it?"

[tidal hornet]

your forgetting about tate though he at least #2 if not #1

[rotund vortex]

the criteria for getting dozer t1 makes you play dozer wrong

[upbeat sluice]

It really isn't. Backstory is dumb for multiplayer shooters

[solar tinsel]

lol yup

[silk surge]

Agree to disagree.

[arctic grove]

not rlly

[solid imp]

backstory is good stuff to add to the whole feel of a game

that's why people still want the AI skins

to feel like a nondescript low grade soldier

in a huge war

[upbeat sluice]

All I need to know is shoot and run. Who cares what their childhood was like haha

[drowsy shuttle]

if its done properly i agree.. but bf2042 lore and story and events are... weak for lack of better word

[arctic grove]

then don’t care? that simple

[tame cobalt]

Backstory is good to have in an MP shooter... Predefined characters are an absolutely AWFUL way to achieve it

[tidal hornet]

imagine a battlefield like battlefront where you play as a "nondescrepit low grade soldier" and earn points to become a "no-pat"

[solid imp]

oh execution of it was weak for sure.. but those podcasts and such added a lot of detail and the character stories they wrote up flesh a bit more out

[solar tinsel]

Irish, Sundance, Lis, Crawford - New Tombstone Squad
Angel, McKay, Paik - "Bad Company 3: Goofy as Hell"

[upbeat sluice]

Right back at you

[tame vine]

tbh I don't even mind the specialist skins, I just want both teams to look different

[arctic grove]

Lis best gorl

[tidal hornet]

but crawford...

[solid imp]

This skin is amazing

[silk surge]

It's funny, because Mackay was voiced by the same actor who did the voice for Montez in BF3, who was a fan favorite character in that campaign.

[arctic grove]

Her beret goes with so many things lmao

[arctic grove]

no.

[tidal hornet]

what color is your bugatti

[solid imp]

yeah but montez wasn't always a goofus, just sometimes lol

[tame cobalt]

Lis street skin is HOT

[arctic grove]

supercars are lame

[arctic grove]

^🙏😤

[tidal hornet]

lis is hot

[tame cobalt]

[solar tinsel]

Honestly, I think when we go back to a new Battlefield - I think "create a character" on a per faction and class basis would be awesome.

You get 8 "slots" (1 per class per faction) and you can customize them however you like. That's where EA can shove their MTX/BP unlocks, that's where you can ensure you get good representation (if they don't skimp on PoC hair, voicelines, etc.) and then just go wild make your own faction-specific characters.

But factions and classes always have some general aesthetic you can't change, to maintain identifiability.

[tidal hornet]

maybe except for the season 1 tier 100 skin those legs looked too weird

[tame cobalt]

Yes

[arctic grove]

exo legs

[tidal hornet]

yeah

those things

i personally thought they ruined the skin

[arctic grove]

I don’t

They look cool

[tame cobalt]

This would be ideal IMO.

[solar tinsel]

I think it's the best compromise that makes everyone (even EA) happy

[tame cobalt]

And don't shove fucking elites into it to ruin it

[solar tinsel]

This is why I say EA is bad at making money

Because literally if they did this, they'd GET their money

[arctic grove]

Why not? Elites were fun

[tame cobalt]

L

[solar tinsel]

I'd rather have battlepickups return or stationary weapons than elite specialists

let the "elite" moment be a special weapon or gadget

[tame cobalt]

"b-b-but the MARKET RESEARCH says premade characters generate the most revenue "

[solar tinsel]

lol seriously

"But Fortnite and Apex did it! and Battlefield is the same right?"

[solid imp]

oh lord the rawr

[solar tinsel]

Just shows the disconnect there was between the upper-DICE/EA folks and line level devs (back then). EA senior leadership driving game design. Rather than developers leading game design and EA finding compatible ways to monetize within it

[still vault]

snipers should be battle pickups

[tame cobalt]

Mfs should do some market research on the financial benefits of having a happy audience in a live service

[arctic grove]

why tf

[solar tinsel]

ha

[fiery shoal]

or you know, selling skins is how companies offset free live services and thats just a natural step to make

[solar tinsel]

Zampella, Coutaz, and Lheto have their work cut out for them for sure

[still vault]

To even out the snipers and make sure that there are not too many so they don't ruin the flow.

[tame cobalt]

[fiery shoal]

when people think their low tier consumer take is correct

[fossil trench]

How do you do persistent servers? I have the option enabled but when I leave the server, it goes away

I’m confused

[tame cobalt]

cuz it is

[fiery shoal]

dunning krueger says hi

[tame cobalt]

Hi

[fossil trench]

Someone explain?

[next onyx]

Option in the menus.,

[tame cobalt]

do u have battle pass

[next onyx]

It's off by default.

Due to an oversight most likely.

[arctic grove]

Actually.. yeah.. I Kinda Like this

[fossil trench]

Yeah I do

[arctic grove]

People who snipe=lame

[fossil trench]

Full pass

[solar tinsel]

You may need another player to have joined it

[fossil trench]

Yeah that could be it

[fossil trench]

I said I had it enabled

Lol

[low timber]

Quite optimistic that no one offered the

maybe it’s broken
Explanation

[fossil trench]

Let me just wait for someone to join and I’ll see if that works

[solar tinsel]

Yeah even though it's persistent, there is that underlying requirement of people regularly playing in it (hence the 7 day thing too)

[tame cobalt]

Of course it's brokeb

[dapper river]

your created servers (plural)
you can only have 1 persistent server per account
DICE PLS

[fossil trench]

I see

[low timber]

That not even a bad typo, one place says

Season Rass

[still vault]

Some of the most fun sniping I've ever done was when I got the railgun sniper in the Final Stand DLC, and the fighting to get it was fun too. Would not mind a single map with that feature.

Wanna snipe? Go get / fight your way to the railgun sniper 😄

[dapper river]

when you're playing BF4 FInal Stand and see the blue scope glint off in the distance

[low timber]

Does the AKS-74u have the 1.25x HS multiplier as it’s for some reason inside the SMG category?

[dapper river]

yeah, unfortunately

[low timber]

[hazy sun]

anyone else getting crashes (and hitches) this patch? trying to see if its related to these new 4090 studio drivers.

[low timber]

We really need the Carbine category then.

[dapper river]

[dapper river]

well there's only like 2 carbines in the game right now, AM40 and AKS-74u, right?

[low timber]

ACW-R

[dapper river]

yeah I guess that too

[low timber]

That’s 3, more than we had LMGs at launch

[tacit sphinx]

yeah you could definitely put the acw-r in there as well

[next onyx]

Guess to keep a tight knot on the weapon categories they've done this.

[solar tinsel]

Hard to believe BF2042 might have enough weapons to warrant a new category 😂

Still can't believe they didn't do vault weps sooner

Although I do still wish we had some cosmetics and attachment unlocks for them

[dapper river]

NO IT ISN'T NO IT ISN'T SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

[ancient peak]

Anyone experience slow download speeds?

[dapper river]

HOW CAN SOMEONE BE SO WRONG

[fiery shoal]

i love how often the term "for the fact" is just absolutely used wrong

its the new "literally"

[solar tinsel]

Battlefield 2042 would be the best if it weren't for the fact that it's <subjective opinion and not a fact>

[dapper river]

It fires 5.45x39mm cartridges

it is a CARBINE

[solar tinsel]

Speaking of cartridges and ammo types, would be nice if the vault weapons either had more ammo OR a few unlockable mag/ammo types so we could match AoW ammo

Hell even if the visual cosmetic of the mag is the same, if it can have the stats modified....

[dapper river]

what's the correct way of using it?

[fiery shoal]

by actually stating facts

[solar tinsel]

Like I don't care if my M16 magically can have standard, heavy, and subsonic rounds with the same looking cartridge

Just having those options would be nice

[tranquil turtle]

vault weapons are literally copy pasted from portal

[solar tinsel]

Unlike the optics, you don't TRULY need to make new models

Really it's the one attachment that, perhaps other than extended magazines, you could just adjust at the stat only level

And even then you could have extended and just suspend your disbelief

[next onyx]

The AKS74u as a blanket term is both referred to as an SMG and an assault rifle.

[wide shore]

AKS needs a little more damage.

[fossil trench]

Does there always need to be someone playing on it?

[wide shore]

She feels nice to use but people eat

[fossil trench]

Just not you?

Is this their “persistent” server thing?

[wide shore]

The server will stay up for 7 days since last activity

If you set it to persistent

[fossil trench]

Okay then it’s broken

Because I just had 2 people on my server including me

Once both of us left, server was gone

[solar tinsel]

Yeah, unless there's some other secret definition of "activity" like time spent, player threshold, etc.

None of that was mentioned though

But entirely possible

[fossil trench]

I have maximum tickets and time limit on it

Idk if that’s related

[solar tinsel]

I mean like: a match must have been going for at least X minutes to be considered active, etc.

[fossil trench]

Oooh

[solar tinsel]

It might be there to prevent people without active communities to like, throw their server up in the mix

Cause then you'd have a crap ton of empty servers

[fossil trench]

Well if that’s the case they need to clarify

[solar tinsel]

For sure

I do think this is primarily meant to support play communities though, based on the language they used

But it could be bugged too, it is 2042 after all

[fossil trench]

Is PC having issues?

I saw people complaining about freezes on PC

[solar tinsel]

That's what I'm hearing

I hope it's not on console ha, selfishly

[arctic grove]

Going for AKS T1 rn 💪💪

[solar tinsel]

But I honestly haven't been able to play though yet either... Dealing with COVID and PS5 is in a shared space 😂

[fossil trench]

I’m on ps5

[solar tinsel]

Hopefully it's not for consoles, or a hotfix in the next few days

[fossil trench]

Everything has been working fine

Just not this persistent server thing

[solar tinsel]

Ha again, could be a par for the course bug for all we know too

[inner flame]

Does anyone have issues with this game constantly crashing? Typically pre game and post game loading screens.

[ancient peak]

Yes it’s common. No I dunno how to fix it

[bright axle]

I can't even start the game because it keeps restarting my PC

[inner flame]

Well at least this game runs flawlessly years after launch.

[solar tinsel]

Seems to be an issue new to 2.2, are you on PC?

[inner flame]

I has been happening for the last month or so, I am on PC, everything is updated, even tried a fresh install and verified my files.

[chilly nimbus]

I am now a firm devote of the GVT 45-70

I just need the M44/Rex for ultimate cowboy headassery

[solar tinsel]

I'm such trash with that ha

[tacit sphinx]

gvt kinda goated but it does require a bit of settling in to

[chilly nimbus]

I don’t even care if I’m trash with it, it’s a lever action firing a bullet that can drop a moose or bear in one (well placed) hit

[tacit sphinx]

the rex is a fun sidearm as well, honestly started to like the m44 a lot more using it to unlock it

[chilly nimbus]

It’s just too cool not to use as well

[solar tinsel]

For some reason the projectile speed on the GVT 45 feels so slow. I know it's just me, but I feel like if anyone is moving at all, even if I lead or don't it feels like I just miss somehow 😂

[chilly nimbus]

tbh the 45-70 isn’t exactly the fastest bullet irl

I know irl =/= game but that’s probably it

[copper spindle]

I feel you

[solar tinsel]

Are you often finding yourself going for the two shot? Or the headshot?

[chilly nimbus]

twoshot

My aim is ass so I prefer the bigger target

[solar tinsel]

Cool, maybe I got drawn in too much by the "high HS multiplier"

Might just try that next time, thanks!

The gentleman skin or whatever it's called for it is awesome

I got that plus the moustache charm on it

A real refined weapon, for an unrefined fool like me who can't wield it properly 😂

[inner flame]

Is there a place to report bugs in this server?

[ancient peak]

Well it seems like the ACWR slaps

[solar tinsel]

The EA forums are probably better for that

[chilly nimbus]

it’s basically just like the Mk2 from CoD 2019, it’s not a sniper, but it plays just like one

hell it’s probably based off the same Marlin 1894 rifle

[next onyx]

45. -70

Gvt

[lyric solar]

How’s the orbital rework?

[quiet shell]

So whats the point of the IBA plate? Cool 1 extra bullet when weapons are primarily fully automatic

[wide shore]

It’s really good tbh

Orbital was already one of the best maps. Now it’s just better

[stiff pollen]

It was fun in the beta

Now it’s actually great

Got great cover all over and the launch site build place has tons of cover

[lyric solar]

Nice!

[ember vessel]

anyone getting pc bug with new patch where the games display gets frozen but game is still running with sound in background?

[arctic grove]

The new leaked Falck skin is actually good

Pretty sure judging by those skins we’re gonna have something to do with lava and a jungle for the next map

Hope not

[copper fulcrum]

inb4 the weapon proficiency for snipers changes to having a sweet spot

[fiery shoal]

like bf1 mechanics?

[rocky kraken]

make guns louder dice

[fiery shoal]

but why?

[rocky kraken]

because

guns are supposed to be loud

[tacit sphinx]

turn your volume up

[rocky kraken]

its at 100

[eager spire]

god that would be stupid, i hope they don't do that

[hazy sun]

i was getting crashes with NVIDIA studio drivers (522.30) with a 4090, but not under your conditions, would happen more randomly mid game for me, along with heavy stuttering, I reverted to previous drivers.

[shadow plaza]

How do DICE manage to make the game performance worse patch after patch???

[arctic grove]

MW2 has pretty good gun audio, the beta did

[eager spire]

good question

[tacit sphinx]

isn't the one for snipers like the one thing theyve confirmed/given some idea on

[rocky kraken]

did they change the sounds?

[fiery shoal]

guns ARE loud, doesnt mean thats good game design

[arctic grove]

I’m not sure, I didn’t preorder so I haven’t been able to play the campaign

[rocky kraken]

explosions sound lackluster

[fiery shoal]

thats weird, since launch i get way better performance now than before (not sure about todays patch)

[arctic grove]

V has some pretty beefy explosions from dynamite and what not

[rocky kraken]

i knoww

[tacit sphinx]

i also really don't think the proficiencies will affect the actual stats of the gun with regards to like damage and recoil, more likely it'll be stuff related to like reloading, movement + mobility, etc

[rocky kraken]

thats what i want it to sound like

but explosions arent cool in 2042

OH MY GOD I GOT ORBITAL\

[tacit sphinx]

rather than "oh you're playing as casper now your sniper shoots bullets at higher velocity because yeah"

[arctic grove]

Orbital rework is pretty good

[chilly nimbus]

**I have unlocked the Avancys **

[tacit sphinx]

i did initially type faster and realised actually bolt operation speed proficiency wouldn't be out of the question for recons

[fiery shoal]

i wish people would stop correlating their casual preference to things as what is "good"
its like having a crushed black and high contrast color in an image, its objectively not good, but a lot of people like it

[fiery shoal]

youre a bit late to that hype train arent you?

[tacit sphinx]

i wonder if they'll have multiple weapon types assigned to some classes

[wide shore]

The M95 in portal sounds like a nuclear device being detonated

[arctic grove]

Gun sounds aren't that great in 2042

[chilly nimbus]

just started playing again

[next onyx]

I do wonder what you can do for assault rifles.

[arctic grove]

Especially in portal

[fiery shoal]

in which regards? by how cool they sound or by "accuracy"?

[tacit sphinx]

i can honestly see it being mackay's trait but applied to just assault rifles and him getting something else

[toxic wigeon]

Tbh guns sound weak

[arctic grove]

It depends on what you compare the gun sounds to

Yeah they sound weak

That’s why I referenced MW2s beta, guns actually sounded pretty darn good in that beta

[fiery shoal]

2042 guns dont sound like bass cannons like they do in mw2, doesnt mean mw2 sounds are "better"

[arctic grove]

Yeah mw22 had some good sounds

[fiery shoal]

see the image quality reference made earlier

[arctic grove]

I actually think that 2042 has bass cannons which only rely on bass

[fiery shoal]

what does that sentence even mean

[arctic grove]

I see what you’re saying Nyphon. That wasn’t intended to say they were better objectively, but to me MW2s guns sound better

[next onyx]

The Rex sounds like the sw40 from bf4.

[arctic grove]

I mean that 2042 has gun sounds that just sound like bass and not gun sounds

Mw22 had good sounds

[fiery shoal]

lulwut

[arctic grove]

Ok

[errant scarab]

Casper drone glitch still 🤣🤣

[toxic wigeon]

Wasn’t that patches

[fiery shoal]

idk if launch guns still sound like this but most of these are just bass

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDHoewR5UQg&t=53s

[arctic grove]

They sound powerful

And good

[fiery shoal]

they sound stupid to me

[arctic grove]

You feel the gun

[errant scarab]

Cod mw weapons feels false

[arctic grove]

What

[toxic wigeon]

Bruh

The guns in mw2 sound realistic

[errant scarab]

In real life is not like tha

[fiery shoal]

yea? you shoot often and record them?

[errant scarab]

in mw they exaggerate with the tremor of the camera

[fiery shoal]

or is this "gun go boom" logic

[eager spire]

Sure, but sounding realistic is not always what you want for a video game, you want there to be distinction between different guns going off.

[arctic grove]

You can never make gunshots in games sound accurate to rl

I think it depends on how different players adjust their audio settings

[copper fulcrum]

There's certainly a sense of... "off" with MW2 guns

[eager spire]

If every gun just does MASSIVE BASS then it's hard to differentiate them for gameplay purposes.

[errant scarab]

many weapons do not sound powerful but in mw they make them look like they are

[toxic wigeon]

I don’t like how the guns feel in mw2

[fiery shoal]

all im saying is that people saying one is better based off... nothing.. makes no sense

the only measure of quality should be how accurate they are

[rocky kraken]

i wish renewal got the same upgrades as orbital

orbital is by far the best rework

kaleidoscope sucks compared to it

[arctic grove]

And in 2042 they're not accurate at all

Renewal should’ve got like, a bunch of holes in the wall cause of different explosions ngl, it was something I figured they’d do anyways

[toxic wigeon]

Well

[arctic grove]

i don't think this was hit really

[toxic wigeon]

Orbital was already a decent map

[rocky kraken]

yeah

[toxic wigeon]

Kaleidoscope was always meh

[rocky kraken]

now its fire

[toxic wigeon]

I liked renewal though

Tbh

Before rework

[arctic grove]

Orbitals bad spot was the crawlerway

[errant scarab]

in mw they exaggerate a lot with the shake of the camera, and many weapons in real life are not as powerful as they show it, you just have to hold the weapon very strongly

[fiery shoal]

and how do you know this? wheres the m5 irl to compare to?

[arctic grove]

But the map is pretty nostalgic cause of the beta and being in the internal trailer so it’s also my favorite map

[toxic wigeon]

Crawlerway was realistic though

But they shouldn’t have made it open

Ofc

[arctic grove]

I still want the 60fps, no stuttering version of that trailer

[rocky kraken]

so

the next update is season 3 ?

[arctic grove]

Guns in 2042 don't sound real in general

[toxic wigeon]

Prob

[fiery shoal]

im SURE you are qualified enough to make this statement

[errant scarab]

Cod is better in animations and weapons

Thats it

[fiery shoal]

*as a clarification IM not making any statement on which is better

[arctic grove]

Why do I have to be qualified to determine whether guns sound weak or not

[tiny python]

ACR supressed sounds good, but it's okay to use

[eager spire]

well you're claiming that the guns don't sound realistic

which does sound like something that would require some qualification to actually notice

[fiery shoal]

"sounding powerful" is not a measurement of how realistic they are

[toxic wigeon]

Lol

[fiery shoal]

find where i said that

[toxic wigeon]

There’s yt vids on it

[eager spire]

I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU

[toxic wigeon]

Like m4

[arctic grove]

Maybe Nikel is referring to their actual bass or something

[eager spire]

I AM TALKING TO NIKEL

[arctic grove]

Listen to insurgency gunshots, they sound really good

[fiery shoal]

thats where reply is helpful

[eager spire]

GOD

[fiery shoal]

sorry im used to you opposing me at every statement

[errant scarab]

in cod they exaggerate the sensation of the weapon

[fiery shoal]

force of habit

[eager spire]

God use your head a bit.

anyway.

[arctic grove]

Damn my guy, relax

[fiery shoal]

use the reply button a bit

[toxic wigeon]

Weapon sounds to me are just meh

Don’t hate me or love them

[fiery shoal]

sounding good to your subjective preference doesnt mean anything...

[toxic wigeon]

I dont really care anyway

[eager spire]

i don't particularly care either.

Like, having bassy gunshots is not a requirement for all FPS games in my honest opinion.

[fiery shoal]

nor do i, as long as they arent bad, its just weird people try to claim one is definitely better is beyond me

[eager spire]

i'd rather have sounds that are distinct for each weapon.

[arctic grove]

Guns in games are supposed to sound realistic?

[distant whale]

Can we finally fix Scar Aiming down site issues please

[arctic grove]

They have to sound powerful and satisfying so you can feel the gun

[eager spire]

they're not supposed to, they're under no obligation to be realistic by virtue of being in a video game.

[fiery shoal]

no they dont

[distant whale]

Hello to the community from New Zealand

[tiny python]

Reload delay on M16 and ACR

[eager spire]

run

[arctic grove]

Then that's shitty sound design

[toxic wigeon]

I think guns in this game sound too similar

[fiery shoal]

no its not

[toxic wigeon]

Ye it is

Sound design is supposed to make player immersed

Lol

[eager spire]

I don't think you're qualified to comment on the quality of sound design for anything.

[rocky kraken]

i feel like they do need to tune up some parts of the volume

[arctic grove]

Quick question

[toxic wigeon]

Neither are you lol

[rocky kraken]

maybe instead of all bass

[toxic wigeon]

So your point

[arctic grove]

In world war 2, would a field officer in combat use a Mg34/42?

[rocky kraken]

some actual detail

[arctic grove]

You're not qualified to write letters on your keyboard and have an opinion

[rocky kraken]

in teh audo

[toxic wigeon]

Guns to me sound too similar

[eager spire]

No, i'm not. But i'm not the one making the claims.

[arctic grove]

Tf is this conversation

[fiery shoal]

or they can be realistic.. if realistic sound design doesnt immerse people more than exaggerated sound design that doesnt make it bad

people really making random statements today

[arctic grove]

I know they carried submachine guns and StG44s but would they ever carry a machine gun?

[next onyx]

The mp412 could use a bit more punch.

[arctic grove]

Random statements?

[next onyx]

They could use a machine gun if they tried but it depends on their field expertise.

[distant whale]

👍

[eager spire]

i don't think a field officer would be lugging one of those around, no.

[arctic grove]

So just a StG 44/SMG?

[next onyx]

An mp40 is easier to use.

[eager spire]

yeah that'd make more sense.

[arctic grove]

Mkay thanks

I want the guns to sound like guns, not like they were made in fl stuido from scratch

I got the Offizier skin and i fucking love it

WHAT THE FUCK WHY AM I PLAYING AS THW BRITISH

i cant switch teams

[fiery shoal]

and i guarantee you are not out shooting these guns on the daily to know how they sound, nor are you a sound engineer either...

[eager spire]

The government assigned you as british

[toxic wigeon]

lol

[arctic grove]

I think common sense is enough to judge sounds

[toxic wigeon]

you can youtube gun sounds easy

[fiery shoal]

yes, people recording themselves off their iphone is totally accurate...

[toxic wigeon]

yes

then what is sound design

how do they record it lmao

[distant whale]

Keep it positive

[fiery shoal]

... with professional recording equipment... not a phone..

why is that a question and why does it feel like you thought that was a good question?

today i found out people thought iphones recorded quality audio...

[toxic wigeon]

they do though lol

ofc not to other equipment

[fiery shoal]

oh yea, lets go record an album from an iphone and try to not get laughed at by any major recording label..

[eager spire]

why would they use audio recorded from an iphone for a AAA video game

[fiery shoal]

i cant even...

[eager spire]

especially when they have the money for far better equipment?

[fiery shoal]

suggesting youtube has good audio compression is also... wow

[toxic wigeon]

never said that either lel,

[fiery shoal]

you did say to listen to youtube videos for gun sounds

[eager spire]

:I

are you intentionally being like this

like is this a joke

[fiery shoal]

suggesting that likely hicks shooting in their backyards have quality audio capture equipment and youtube will relay that information back accurately...

[arctic grove]

Question

How accurate is this german officer loadout

[toxic wigeon]

holy kek

[arctic grove]

Primary: StG 44
Sidesrm: P08
Melee: Scout Knife m1916 (dont have anything else)
Stick grenade, panzerfaust, dynamite

[eager spire]

makes sense to me

[arctic grove]

Y'all saying like gun sounds are different for everyone like seeing colors is different for everyone

[toxic wigeon]

true

[arctic grove]

thanks

i wish i had the Kar98 bayonet

[eager spire]

...yes.

[fiery shoal]

not the statement at all... im saying youre PREFERENCE is different

we can see colors the same, doesnt mean i like the colors you do

[arctic grove]

Your*

[eager spire]

well no that's not entirely true

[fiery shoal]

dude got me on a typo, he wins the whole conversation

[arctic grove]

Yup

[eager spire]

there's differences in hearing and headphones and audio settings, some people are gonna hear stuff differently from other people.

[fiery shoal]

all you gotta say is you like mw gun sound design more and thats like.. ok cool

to make any statement that one or the other is objectively better is just dumb because none of us here are qualified to actually make that statement

[hexed mango]

oh damn crawford is moving to engineer and irish is support
pog

[next onyx]

While I'm not too bothered by the sounds. The Rex definitely sounds a bit on the weaker spectrum.

Yeah Echo. What you think of that?

[fiery shoal]

what is the rex?

[next onyx]

Mp412.

The better m44.

[eager spire]

MP412 REX, the revolver

[hexed mango]

i think its fitting especially for crawford, idk about irish but i guess we have to see what happens

[fiery shoal]

dont think ive used it

[solar tinsel]

It's a good change

[toxic wigeon]

fits for both imo

[hexed mango]

oh nvm let me read more

[toxic wigeon]

irish is defensive anyway

[next onyx]

It's weird. Maybe it's just me but I feel as if he was originally meant to be a medic.

[solar tinsel]

I think Irish with rez could lead to some good, clustering, infantry teamwork

[hexed mango]

i didnt see the rest of the changes

[eager spire]

I donno why they made the M44 like that in 2042.

[fiery shoal]

i dont care about sound design other than directional audio

[next onyx]

You can tell who's using high powered at least.

Due to the deeper sound.

[arctic grove]

Because manual action revolver 👀

[fiery shoal]

if i cant pinpoint enemies im angry

[next onyx]

Actually did you guys realise that different ammo types have different sound cues?

[hexed mango]

i think its a decent change ngl

[toxic wigeon]

same

[eager spire]

it looks cool but it sucks for balance, look at how revolvers in other games worked.

[next onyx]

Crawford definitely felt like he wasn't meant to be a support.

[toxic wigeon]

wonder if irish will have same ability as crawford

when revived

[solar tinsel]

He does, WHEN he revives a teammate

[next onyx]

He can't using ammo crates "now" so increased effectiveness with his repair tool would definitely go a long way.

[toxic wigeon]

tbh

I feel repair tools arent used much in this game

[next onyx]

Well depends what they have planned with him.

[arctic grove]

Btw, why did german officers only use P08s?

[solar tinsel]

New Crawford passive is TBD

[next onyx]

I was looking forward to abusing the repair tool for Irish.

[solar tinsel]

Although I hope it's faster repair tool speed

[eager spire]

because officers were not generally seeing front line combat i think

[solar tinsel]

Haha another reason why it's better perhaps 😂

[hexed mango]

which is what i hope making it universal for engineers will fix, which is their intent

[toxic wigeon]

yep

why use a repair tool

[low timber]

I just noticed when searching a ACW-R BF3 video on YT, in BF3 the laser was a barrel option, and in Portal its underbarrel option, so you could have a laser and a grip at the same time in BF3.

[toxic wigeon]

that doesnt benefit you

[solar tinsel]

I wonder how that will work on consoles? As they'd be having one extra bind now

Hold square always does your class gadget maybe?

Whether it's repair tool or defibs

[toxic wigeon]

I dont think bottom dpad is used

[drowsy shuttle]

in menu, the specialists don't hold the ACW (the "new" scar") properly... its a visual bug and its not game breaking ofc... but its funny and need fix

[toxic wigeon]

could be wrong

or I forget

[solar tinsel]

It is for RoF or underbarrel

[toxic wigeon]

oh yeah

[low timber]

D-pad down is the laser, flashlight, bipod, Masterkey and grenade launcher

[solar tinsel]

I think hold square is probably the way to do it, because I could see all 4 working with it

That's how defibs are anyway

[low timber]

And when ADS’ing its select fire

[next onyx]

It behaved differently back in bf3.

[arctic grove]

What about low ranking ones in combat?

[next onyx]

As well.

I think it has an 820 RPM.

Here it has a 720.

[eager spire]

i don't know man

[low timber]

Way, what did Alex say in the 2.1 stream about wanting to keep the Nostalgic feel of portal weapons?

[next onyx]

Something about their original spirit or something, Why are you asking me?

[toxic wigeon]

hope portal guns get t1 skins

[eager spire]

they probably won't

[toxic wigeon]

no point in using them

they said they are thinking about it

[eager spire]

i imagine that's like, so low down on the list of priorities for DICE

[next onyx]

I mean. At least the badges are earnable.

[solar tinsel]

I heard that vault weps MIGHT get cosmetics, maybe

[toxic wigeon]

plus all attachments unlocked

[solar tinsel]

But who knows

[toxic wigeon]

so no point in even trying to progress

[next onyx]

I might go for 10K p90 but with how the game is at the moment I'm kind of indifferent.

[drowsy shuttle]

when season 3 starts? December?

[low timber]

Portal Abrams and BMD-2 got skins so…

[next onyx]

Talking about the Abrams.

Have you seen the new playercard?

[toxic wigeon]

i have

they look cool

[low timber]

Only the 1942, BC2 and BF3 ones

[next onyx]

[hexed mango]

guess im gonna play 2042 today

how's orbital

[next onyx]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/239788202745921536/1032615163251130458/Battlefield_2042_Screenshot_2022.10.20_-_06.23.39.32.png

[low timber]

I want the BC2 one with the iconic grenade

[solar tinsel]

I forgot what week it is now, but essentially the week after Week 12 of S2 most likely

[next onyx]

I haven't even had the opportunity to play it with people yet.

[toxic wigeon]

ngl s2 has been flying

[next onyx]

Yeah same here Marse.

[drowsy shuttle]

its alright... nothing extraordinary... but now you have lot of cover... im talking Breakthrough... haven't tried conquest yet...

[arctic grove]

The movement feels a bit off after 2.2

That just me?

[next onyx]

Input feels weird.

[low timber]

So what’s with those vehicles?

[solar tinsel]

Getting ""new"" weapons each month has helped

[hexed mango]

interesting, looked really cool from the images

[toxic wigeon]

true

[solar tinsel]

And the 2 reworks don't hurt either

[toxic wigeon]

I wonder if there will be another update before s3

with more portal stuff

[arctic grove]

Missed playing Orbital 24/7

[toxic wigeon]

prob not

[solar tinsel]

Probably not, unless a hotfix patch

[arctic grove]

Since October last year

[drowsy shuttle]

it is, its way better ofc... but at least in Breakthrough is nothing really extraordinary... but its better ofc...

[toxic wigeon]

lol they made orbital 24/7

[solar tinsel]

I imagine at this point they're gearing for S3 / 3.0

[next onyx]

New skins.

Most likely.

If I had to assume.

The card and the desert tiger stealth heli skin will be in a bundle for Dozer.

[low timber]

Meh, Legendary M1A5 all the way

[next onyx]

The tank will most likely be standalone, Maybe?

[drowsy shuttle]

no i think they made stranded, renewal and orbital 24/7

[next onyx]

Yeah that's a good skin.

[solar tinsel]

They did? I thought it was Orbital/Stranded/Renewal

[arctic grove]

Did they? I was just referring to the arms something something conquest

[rocky kraken]

wait

[next onyx]

Though I love the Damascus tonk.

[toxic wigeon]

no

[rocky kraken]

supresor sounds different

[toxic wigeon]

yall misread

or misunderstood

was a question

my fault actually

forgot the ?

[drowsy shuttle]

ah

[toxic wigeon]

insane english moment

[low timber]

Imagine a T2 skins. Soon a year and still nothing

[solar tinsel]

Ah nah it's a MoA playlist I think

[drowsy shuttle]

its master of arms 24/7 maps

conquest only

i believe BT is next week

[solar tinsel]

Yeah that would be the pattern

[low timber]

Like we’ve yet to see the skin for Sundance from the reveal trailer, the same as her T1 but green and yellow.

[errant scarab]

Maps? Is only 1 map

[solar tinsel]

Stranded, Renewal, Orbital

All the stuff new or modified in S2

[drowsy shuttle]

technically yeah... but you know what i mean

[toxic wigeon]

tbh that does remind me

of people saying this game had false advertising

[solar tinsel]

Wonder what reworks we're getting in S3. Lord I hope it's hourglass

[toxic wigeon]

to me it never did

people just expected a lot more

[hexed mango]

no breakthrough playlist

[drowsy shuttle]

as a sniper.. i hope not.. its my favourite map lol (well beside manifest)

[toxic wigeon]

trailers are cinematics anyway

[hexed mango]

Hourglass is the worst map

[toxic wigeon]

not like they are gonna be what the game is

easily

[solar tinsel]

It's a tough nut to crack now. That's part of it, but they also DID remove BT 128 too.

I don't think legally it was false advertisement, but I can see why folks felt burned too

[hexed mango]

but i think Discarded is next for reworks

[toxic wigeon]

tbh

does discarded even need a rework lol

[solar tinsel]

I actually don't have much of a problem with Discarded

[drowsy shuttle]

hourglass + gol sniper = satisfaction

[toxic wigeon]

stranded is basically discarded but better

[hexed mango]

gol feels super under powered

[solar tinsel]

Admittedly the 2 reworks I want the most are probably the hardest to solve: Hourglass and Breakaway

[toxic wigeon]

same discarded was pretty fun

[solar tinsel]

Not to say they can't be large

But E on Breakaway is like... Why isn't that shit in the middle of the map

[drowsy shuttle]

what?! really? i love it... i tier 1 really fast

[hexed mango]

agreed, but i think if done correct, which is difficult, they could be good

[toxic wigeon]

breakaway is a cool idea

[hexed mango]

idk it just doesnt feel right to me

[toxic wigeon]

hourglass is just

yeah

[solar tinsel]

Breakaway has 2 sectors close to US, but only one sector close to RU, it's such a mess

[drowsy shuttle]

fair enough.. i love the ads speed...

[toxic wigeon]

wonder how they will rework it

[solar tinsel]

You never see E, despite it being a cool feature

[toxic wigeon]

also hope they dont remove all cars on the map to replace with military crates

[solar tinsel]

They literally should put E in the middle, put the F flags on the ice NORTH of it, and then everything else U shape underneath

[rocky kraken]

guyus

[solar tinsel]

Essentially making it a non linear Damavand Peak

[rocky kraken]

next map based in nordvick, russia

[toxic wigeon]

doubt

[hexed mango]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FbRJtFYXwAESMeC.jpg

hopefully like that

[calm bison]

I thought it was in Sweden

[toxic wigeon]

i dont think they will make a russian map

because obv reasons

[hexed mango]

this is a hot image

[rocky kraken]

nordvick

[solar tinsel]

Yeah you made that right? I love that rework

[arctic grove]

Mackay hat

[hexed mango]

no

[rocky kraken]

idk

[solar tinsel]

Is that the new loading screen?

[toxic wigeon]

thats a good rework

[drowsy shuttle]

i noticed they did a change in Stranded Breakthrough layout... as defenders you cant go around the first sector... under the hill, you guys know what i mean? you could go around and then flank the attackers from behind.. can't do that anymore

[rocky kraken]

i mean one of the factions is russia

[hexed mango]

yes

[toxic wigeon]

yes but

[solar tinsel]

Dang that is good

[calm bison]

Norrland (Swedish: [ˈnɔ̌rːland] (listen), "Northland", originally Norrlanden or "the Northlands") is the northernmost, largest and least populated of the three traditional lands of Sweden

[toxic wigeon]

they can kind of get away with it

because of nopats

[calm bison]

It’s not Russian

It’s not Nordvick

[timid latch]

How to even earn the m2 carbine when there no ww2 portal experiences

[calm bison]

It’s Norrland

[toxic wigeon]

since none of them are really soldiers for countries

[timid latch]

Same with bren gun

[low timber]

Like isn’t there a group of building north of B1 inside the US uncap that even has zip lines?

I think they are usable only in HZ or something

[solar tinsel]

I really just want an urban map. Not just "part of it is urban" a full on urban map the whole way

[hexed mango]

no clue

[solar tinsel]

Give me Karkand but then double it in size by expanding out the eastern side

[toxic wigeon]

tbh

I had an idea. little while back

of a map set in an american town

small town

but not sure if game lore would allow that

[calm bison]

Norrland has a few cities

[hexed mango]

still gonna be mad until this get performs like it should

[solar tinsel]

BF has that before haha

[calm bison]

So an urban map is still possible

[toxic wigeon]

really what map

[hexed mango]

cyberpunk ultra performs better than 2042 low

[calm bison]

Downtown

[solar tinsel]

BF2 Armored Fury expansion

[calm bison]

Everglades

Riptide

Literally every fucking Battlefield Hardline map

[solar tinsel]

Operation Harvest, Operation Road Rage, Midnight... sky? Sun?

Midnight something

[calm bison]

Also Battlefield has also been to the US in recent years

[solar tinsel]

Harvest was in Pennsylvania farmland I think

[calm bison]

Not in terms of MP but SP

[solar tinsel]

Road Rage was Virginia on I95 I think

[calm bison]

Nuke in NYC

[solar tinsel]

And Midnight was Alaska maybe

[toxic wigeon]

ngl never played hardline

i played for maybe 1 hour

hated it

[toxic wigeon]

true

i just thought it sucked lol

[calm bison]

But again

There are a few cities in Northern Sweden

and changing the nam to a different game would not have saved it

like people say

[calm bison]

So an urban map is not off the table

[solar tinsel]

I never bought it since other games appealed to me more, but I should have given it a chance

[solar tinsel]

Would make me happy

[toxic wigeon]

if they did change the name people would still call it a bttlefield game lol

[solar tinsel]

Although I have a feeling DICE won't commit to a single style the whole map

[calm bison]

Probably not

But urban combat there

Would be cool

[solar tinsel]

Stranded was "the CQB map" and even that has pretty traditional BF in most of it

[calm bison]

Imagine fighting in the snowy forests of Sweden and then transitioning to an urban environment

[toxic wigeon]

stranded is ok imo

[solar tinsel]

I think DICE feels that maps should provide all varieties of experiences in one map, but I don't really agree with that approach

[toxic wigeon]

not really a big fan of the closer type maps

but its fun

[calm bison]

You need CQB to balance the larger maps

[toxic wigeon]

yeah

[calm bison]

This is why I argue that BFV has the best map pool

To quote someone

[solar tinsel]

I get wanting to own your play experience, but if you're relegating a play experience to a small corner of the map, is it really good?

[calm bison]

“It’s got a little something for everyone”

[toxic wigeon]

tbh

[calm bison]

Again

[toxic wigeon]

bfv maps are just ok

[calm bison]

Sweden

[neon iris]

They still haven't fixed the season badge counter

[toxic wigeon]

i dont think there was one that stood out to me

[neon iris]

:DDDDD

[solar tinsel]

Wait really? Damnit haha

[calm bison]

To you maybe not

[toxic wigeon]

when I think of bfv i think of the mechanics not maps

[calm bison]

But Arras has already proven to be solid

[neon iris]

Yep, mines still way off

[toxic wigeon]

building movement

[calm bison]

Same for Rotterdam

[solar tinsel]

A minor inconvenience but still funny

[timid latch]

Provance was good

[calm bison]

Operation Underground

[solar tinsel]

Try playing a Portal map and then AoW that usually fixes it

[toxic wigeon]

lol arras fun map

[calm bison]

The better metro

[solar tinsel]

The Iron Gator: The metro before metro

[calm bison]

I swear to god of DICE doesn’t put ABBA or Sabaton on the next map I’ll be very upset

[toxic wigeon]

the bands

lmaooo

[calm bison]

Because they’re Swedish

And the next map is likely set in Sweden

[toxic wigeon]

lmao sweden

denmark better

[calm bison]

The charm is literally called Norrland

[solar tinsel]

Hell put Dirty Loops in there if you're gonna put any Swedish musicians

[calm bison]

Yea but Sabaton is better

[solar tinsel]

Can't possibly be 😂

[toxic wigeon]

tbh sabaton seems like a cringe band to me lol

mainly fanbase

not really band

I knew dudes in other servers

who were obsessed with them

and all they talked about was ww2 tanks lol

like mid conversation dude would just start talking about tanks

[solar tinsel]

Seriously though, if you're into jazz/funk/pop fusion at all, do yourself a favor and check out Dirty Loops

[hexed mango]

holy shit they did it, finally added a fucking timer

[toxic wigeon]

dang gratz on being tier 32

[hexed mango]

huh

[solar tinsel]

Tiner for what?

[hexed mango]

in eor for when the round is over

[solar tinsel]

Ohh nice

[hexed mango]

like for when itll start the next round or boot you back to lobby

[toxic wigeon]

was a joke

[rocky kraken]

i swear to god

c5 needs nerf

[hexed mango]

not a funny joke then

[rocky kraken]

vehicles suck

[toxic wigeon]

yea srry

[hexed mango]

i mean its an explosive

[toxic wigeon]

im funny

[hexed mango]

so

it explodes shit

[toxic wigeon]

c5 is balanced imo

[rocky kraken]

no its not

sundance goes cross map

then throws it 40 feet

and kills me

range needs decrease

[toxic wigeon]

maybe

[rocky kraken]

they didnt fix orbital spawns

i just spawned in an open field with a tank and wildcat looking at me

[solar tinsel]

Honestly I think C5 is fine, just less people need it. If a Sundance pulled that off, it's probably earned at that point

[rocky kraken]

naw

that shit takes no skill

remove sundance

[arctic grove]

Needs less range imo

[rocky kraken]

=good game

[hexed mango]

C4 or specifically M112 variant has a mass of 0.57kg or 1.25lbs

[next onyx]

Reduce throw range and kill range to be like the bf5 sticky TNT.

Honestly. C5 is annoying to fight against since you can barely see it.

[toxic wigeon]

ye

[rocky kraken]

wait

lock on wwarning sound is good now

[toxic wigeon]

so whens the event end

need to finish it

[hexed mango]

next tues i think

[solar tinsel]

Mon would be last day

[toxic wigeon]

ok

good I have time then

[solar tinsel]

Cheya

[hexed mango]

im not even gonna attempt to finish it

[toxic wigeon]

honestly its boring

[hexed mango]

my interest in this game has

[toxic wigeon]

but hey its free

[hexed mango]

id rather play ow or cyberpunk

[solar tinsel]

Honestly isn't that bad, I didn't even play this week yet and I have 94 badges. 4-5 badges a match wasn't too difficult to do, especially with prox or Paik

[toxic wigeon]

tbh the event was what I expected it to be

[hexed mango]

oh i can play mw2 rn

[toxic wigeon]

did people actually think that all the skins would be free lol

I knew when I saw the skins that only like 1 would be free

[solar tinsel]

Probably although admittedly it would have been nice if the last reward was a token you could redeem for one of the packs or something

[toxic wigeon]

yeah

[solar tinsel]

I wound up getting the DM7 pack though with my BP boins, and go figure, the unique scope for it isn't centered correctly 😂

[toxic wigeon]

lel

[rocky kraken]

i want claymore

2042 claymore that has nuke inside

[toxic wigeon]

ofc you do

[solar tinsel]

Your dreams come true in Jan or so

[rocky kraken]

[rocky kraken]

[toxic wigeon]
