[upbeat sand]

Michal rat squad place

[hexed mango]

all quiet on the western front movie came out recently

gonna watch that then play bf1

[upbeat sand]

Is good

But I think the original 1930 is better

[hexed mango]

interesting

by 1930 do you mean book or did they actually make a movie in the 30s lol

[upbeat sand]

No it's a movie

[hexed mango]

oh

yeah i googled it

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020629/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3

they both have similar ratings on imdb

[upbeat sand]

Watch in original German on Netflix or else

[hexed mango]

thats what it is by default

and what i planned on doing

always watch shit in original audio, that's law.

unless its something respectable, idk what but something

reminds me of saving private ryan opening

[upbeat sand]

Never watch live action dubbed

Only animated

[hexed mango]

dont even watch anime dubbed

i watched edgerunners in japanese with english sub

[upbeat sand]

Because it's dam sonic06 levels of lip sync

[mental cave]

[upbeat sand]

I don't want edge runners

[hexed mango]

i just like it all flowing well, plus i want to respect the creative people who did the original work

edgerunners is a good show

[mental cave]

i watch anime both dubbed and subbed cus my brain is damaged

[hexed mango]

edgerunners is basically the only anime ive watched

im not usually an anime person, unless its related to something else i enjoy
i.e. star wars visions or cyberpunk edgerunners

[mental cave]

i heavily rely on subtitles

[hexed mango]

same

[upbeat sand]

Best movie of all time are the bionicle trilogy

[violet meteor]

Hi

[hexed mango]

though i might understand most of all quiet mainly cause my dad speaks german

[mental cave]

especially on hulu, for some reason hulu has absolute dog shit audio mixing

[hexed mango]

lol

[violet meteor]

Also, worst name you ever decided to go with dude

[hexed mango]

why, you dislike pavlov?

you like dogs?

classical conditioning?

[violet meteor]

I dislike that you stopped playing 2042 and stopped being creative with your name

[hexed mango]

uh pavlov is quite creative

[violet meteor]

Fair dislike

[tepid agate]

Wow it's the weekend and gone down to 5.2k on Steam

[hexed mango]

mainly cause someone said i was conditioning way to respond to this chat whenever i spoke

[mental cave]

@hexed mango your white theme is horrific

[hexed mango]

average 2042 moment

[hexed mango]

i havent touched it

[violet meteor]

Holy fuck who noticed that but you?

[tepid agate]

Peak moment

[hexed mango]

doesnt let me

[tepid agate]

Yeah man

[mental cave]

your profile color

[violet meteor]

Imagine being a gamer but making sure it's ok to like or play the games you enjoy

[hexed mango]

on mobile i can see it, but cant change it, and on desktop, i dont see it even though i have experiments

[violet meteor]

Don't you have a ship to kill every human?

Anyway

[tepid agate]

Is mw any good? I just saw a random clip of a nuke call in

[hexed mango]

what

[violet meteor]

I'm gonna reset

Hi everyone

[hexed mango]

perri, my father, whats happening

[violet meteor]

Hope everyone is doing well

[hexed mango]

https://tenor.com/baZfJ.gif

[violet meteor]

First day of self made vacation

[mental cave]

i’ve downloaded bf4

[hexed mango]

[violet meteor]

Cool thanks random person

[hexed mango]

bf1 better

[mental cave]

bf1

[violet meteor]

You're a couple titles behind but fuck it

[tepid agate]

You guys are die hard 2042 supports keep going for 2 more seasons lol

[mental cave]

i just got the xbox game pass

[hexed mango]

i am not

[mental cave]

which gives me ea play, so i’m replaying bf4 lol

[violet meteor]

I told your ass. Quit my job, sold my company stock, made 18k, gonna take a 30 day vacation

[tepid agate]

It's okay to stop. I applaud you

[hexed mango]

oh

you did not tell me that tf

[hexed mango]

thanks for reminding me to cancel ea play

[violet meteor]

You're right...I didn't. But would you still love your gaming father if I did?

[mental cave]

18k is enough to take a vacation?

why am i still working

[violet meteor]

It's enough to take a vacation for a year at least

But I hate being lazy

[hexed mango]

yeah...

[violet meteor]

I'm a creative mind

[hexed mango]

more than my real dad that is

why dont you take my advice and get someone to pay you more for your art...

¯_(ツ)_/¯

idfk man

[violet meteor]

Dude to this day I can't tell if this has been a bad joke or not but in any case know I'll be there for you if you want to talk

[hexed mango]

now..... should i cancel

[violet meteor]

I can't lie, I'm a little proud of you

[hexed mango]

it unfortunately isnt a joke, but thanks.

[mental cave]

yes

[hexed mango]

aye aye

i also have to pay for my own amazon prime

[mental cave]

who doesn’t pay for their own amazon prime?

[hexed mango]

but ive been recently contemplating cancelling nitro

well my brother doesnt

he uses my mom's lol

[violet meteor]

I wanna say this here cuz why not but, don't pursue shit for money when we are living in the moment where money doesn't mean shit

[mental cave]

nice

[hexed mango]

true but you kinda need money to survive.

[violet meteor]

Wanna make good games? Make them.

[violet meteor]

You don't need a lot of money though

[hexed mango]

yeah but it would be nice to be comfortable, so you can live well in the moment

[violet meteor]

You're smart you know how to distribute responsibility

[mental cave]

there’s always a balance you can find, you don’t need to have a manic episode and end your career to live in italy for a couple months

[hexed mango]

i mean, i agree, the pursuit of happiness doesnt require money, but to do everything you wish, comes at a price, most often a monetary price

[violet meteor]

In my experience it comes naturally

[hexed mango]

understandable

[violet meteor]

I am a hard believer in karma

Ok dude let me tell everyone a story

[hexed mango]

on the topic of money, my stock is doing good since elon bought twitter, i bought twitter stock when it was low before he bought it

[violet meteor]

It was my birthday a few days ago

[hexed mango]

happy belated bday

[mental cave]

im still down a couple Ks

[violet meteor]

I hate cake, so I went to my grocery store to buy ingredients for strawberry shortcake

[hexed mango]

r/wallstreetbets

nice

[violet meteor]

Woman in front of me left her card in her work clothes

[hexed mango]

oof

[violet meteor]

It was like 35 or 40 worth of groceries. I paid it cuz I wanted to get to my birthday party sooner

[hexed mango]

[violet meteor]

So I did it. I walk up my parents driveway and there is a 5 dollar bill

Finders keepers right?

[hexed mango]

sure

[violet meteor]

But I assume it was a family member who lost it

I used that 5 dollar bill this week to pay for gas for a dear friend to pick me up because my car had to get repaired

[hexed mango]

$5 was enough for gas!

[violet meteor]

Karma provides

Nah they lived close

[hexed mango]

i guess, but logically, its coincidence, idk, i agree it might have a reason, but it might not

[violet meteor]

But a gallon of gas gets you far

[hexed mango]

gas is expensive af here

[violet meteor]

Buddy

Everywhere

[hexed mango]

yeah but cali

[violet meteor]

Cali yes

[hexed mango]

$6.5-7 is common

[violet meteor]

Can I tell you something

[hexed mango]

i cant stop you

[violet meteor]

Since you're a kid still

[hexed mango]

that is a fact

[violet meteor]

Just because you grew up and still live in Cali doesn't mean that you have to live in this country and deal with high prices

[hexed mango]

that is true

i mean overall im not against living here either

its expensive, but we get paid more

[violet meteor]

Like I feel like you'll have a heart attack once you see something a quarter of the price

[hexed mango]

lol

i wouldnt want to live in the UK rn

(sorry sam)

[violet meteor]

Wait who said leaving the country

[hexed mango]

doesn't mean that you have to live in this **country **and deal with high prices

[mental cave]

you did

🤣

[violet meteor]

I didn't

Thanks lurker

[arctic grove]

Where should we go

[hexed mango]

brazil

[violet meteor]

That is not me saying leave lmao

Holy fuck

Should I just fuck off now

[hexed mango]

bruh

u ok?

[arctic grove]

No, tell me where to go

[violet meteor]

Yeah I'm actually not good

I'm gucci

[hexed mango]

Boston, is where you told me to go

[arctic grove]

Ohio

[hexed mango]

its all ohio

https://tenor.com/bVOPd.gif

[mental cave]

California has great opportunities if you’re good at working and saving

[violet meteor]

No you showed a passion/preference for it

[hexed mango]

indeed it does

[violet meteor]

I support it

[hexed mango]

bro

[violet meteor]

Yeah

[hexed mango]

yes i agree

[violet meteor]

Why not

[hexed mango]

exactly

[dark mural]

So, that battlefield 2042 sure is a game huh

[hexed mango]

why not.

[hexed mango]

it is indeed a game yes

[violet meteor]

Dude you're like providing evidence of our personal conversations by the way lmao

[hexed mango]

yes

[mental cave]

but i am biased as a real estate guy, life changing strategy for someone in california is to take advantage of the high salaries here and take that money into the real estate market of other states

[violet meteor]

Jesus

[hexed mango]

yes a neighbor of mine did that

bought a mansion worth a faction of his house, moved to kanas

[arctic grove]

Best state

[violet meteor]

Imagine working and saving in a state that didn't demand blood/limb tribute for everything you do

[mental cave]

other states basically have racial slurs for us now cus of it

[hexed mango]

lol

[violet meteor]

May as well go to Hawaii and pay 8 dollars for a gallon of milk

[hexed mango]

Californian scum

stupid grammarly

[hexed mango]

lel

[violet meteor]

CALIFORNICATION

[hexed mango]

hawaii is cool but i wouldnt really want to live thjere, i'd get murdered by bugs

[hexed mango]

omg its nixon but for california

Vietnamization

https://tenor.com/bBz76.gif

[arctic grove]

Nixon

[hexed mango]

yep

[mental cave]

thats different, its expensive there cus of the import, and maybe some systemic racism cus yk the whole stealing land from the hawaiians thing

[arctic grove]

Nixon surely was the president ever

[lilac dust]

Lol I love how every mackay I see has the default cap on cos they couldn't be bothered changing or didn't notice the liquidators one got temp disabled lol

[violet meteor]

Dude don't fucking tell me i haven't lived long enough to know when to tell someone with almost a 5 point GPA who goes to the area scouting colleges that I don't know what I am talking about

[mental cave]

he really was a president

[hexed mango]

👀 now who could that be

[hexed mango]

water gate lets go

https://tenor.com/buzgC.gif

[arctic grove]

I was just about to say that too lol

Watergate moment

[dark mural]

I have an odd question. Any game ever have main menu music so good it was hard to start the game?

[hexed mango]

watergate is my favorite hotel

[hexed mango]

BF1

[dark mural]

Watch Dogs 2 is one of them

[hexed mango]

BF1 OST >>>>>> *

tbh fallout 4 main theme is bussin

[dark mural]

Those are indeed that

[lilac dust]

Anthem's OST is underrated. Atrociuously undercooked garbage fire video game, but that OST is insane. I feel so bad for the incredible composer who wasted her time on that. Oh also pretend I'm talking about battlefield and that this is relevant to the discussion. K Thanks!

[violet meteor]

I am a combat veteran who has ptsd

[mental cave]

the nervous radio guy

[violet meteor]

I said today

It was a good idea to wear my gaming headphones with bass boost and Olay the cod campaign

[hexed mango]

lol

radio in fallout games is so good

new vegas has the best songs tho

[dark mural]

I'll have to look up the Anthem main menu theme.

[violet meteor]

This fucking game just fucking fuckijg fuck fucking rocks and rolls

[hexed mango]

lots of fucks

none given tho

[white geyser]

You know back in COD MW3, one of the soundtracks was pretty good and I barely listen it

[lilac dust]

Look up "The Anthem of creation" one of the finest pieces of music composition I've ever heard in my life

[mental cave]

not good?

or good

[violet meteor]

If I'm rocking and rolling

It's good

[mental cave]

i see

[violet meteor]

Cmon dude

[mental cave]

the many fucks threw me off

[violet meteor]

Well that was the point

[regal sphinx]

Yepp, that's right.
Awesome game, awesome music! 😍

Also Hunt Showdown's Miner's-Lament-Theme. 😁👍

[hexed mango]

ye

[modest tundra]

In just over an hour, I will be taking the half-term exam in biochemistry

[white geyser]

We might never see any games that will be better than anthem, god I just wish the any game developers would come up such an idea that can create their own version of anthem but it needs to be better

[modest tundra]

However I focused on making a portal experience last night and forgot to review

[mental cave]

you’ll be fine

[modest tundra]

Soon after, the guys will hear a sad story about me again, i guess

[modest tundra]

thank you~

[mental cave]

[dark mural]

That was pretty damn good

[white geyser]

Guess I'll just spend more time in the portal until season 3 is announced, I still want the contents I even requested since last time.

[lilac dust]

Legion of dawn is more subtle but equally as good

I'm actually listening to the whole OST playlist while shooting dudes in 2042 lmao it's so good

[next onyx]

BIG IRON ON HIS HIIIIIP.

@tame cobalt

[fiery dawn]

Legendary song

Marty Robbins is great

[hexed mango]

robbins is a legend

[fiery dawn]

👌

[hexed mango]

rebel how do you customize the profile colors

they’re view only on mobile but why

[fiery dawn]

Idk

I can customize on PC

[hexed mango]

i’ll find out how to hijack it later

i can’t

[fiery dawn]

but yeah can't on mobile and also they look different on mobile than they do on PC

[hexed mango]

lol

[fiery dawn]

I got it looking nice with some blue and pink cyber looking and then it was blinding to look at on mobile so I had to change it

[next onyx]

Blue moooon.

[hexed mango]

is nice

[hexed mango]

lovely singing

[next onyx]

Purple and red though.

[hexed mango]

song

wtf

my autocorrect

[next onyx]

I mean.

That works either way.

But ye.

[hexed mango]

yes but yeah

[next onyx]

Purple and red superior.

[hexed mango]

Poison Ivy by the coasters

[fiery dawn]

get a room you two

xP

[hexed mango]

ok but which blue moon is the best? dean? sinatra? elvis? holiday?

i love comparing standards between different singers

i feel like sinatra has the best music background

[tame cobalt]

[hexed mango]

ok i got work in 9 hours peace

[next onyx]

Not sure which blue moon.

Just the one on fallout.

Take care.

[hexed mango]

fallout one is sinatra

[potent locust]

How is the co-op in BF2042?

Is it working properly and can I solo vs ai if I want to?

[devout flare]

ive never had mouse input issues

[arctic grove]

Working properly in what type of way? yes, you can play it by yourself

[eager spire]

I am in awe of that statement Milksteak replied to. Like, wow. That is like, pure medical grade copium right there. like angel just inhaled that shit.

like the man sees a DICE developer confirming that there are engine level input issues, and is just like "people who are complaining about it just don't have skill"

[onyx mica]

aw this is a nice crash-always update, man, even mw2 looks inviting for me now

[slender isle]

Don’t be fooled lmao. MW2 has the same crashing problem

[pearl surge]

hi

haven’t played 2042 in weeks

[upbeat sand]

the enemy is taking out mine

[lilac dust]

My god it's fuckin hilarious how there's a form of friendly fire in this game ... See an enemy grenade? Just toss it towards your teammate 🤣

Disclaimer : I don't actively try to do this, I just love it when it accidently happens 😈

Good way to get back at those pesky revive ignorers

[woven acorn]

Yeah, it's what battlefield was all about before bf5 / bf1. Look at the game now though, squad options haven't even been implemented, it's clearly not a focus which is very worrying. I get the feeling that they've tried to capture a much wider (casual) audience with 2042

[modest tundra]

I remember that it`s able to turn on friendly damage reflex

[woven acorn]

@arctic grove I think I'd accept a compromise where 2042 is kept casual, but they revamp portal to include the squad options that we used to have. And for the love of God please put the relevant UI skins in the portal games. I don't want 2042 ui in bc2

[modest tundra]

You mean to allow the portal to use the corresponding era UI?

Sounds not bad~

[lilac dust]

https://gyazo.com/5dde28097c4c4d0fb3a56e5b921588e9 Now I understand why 2042 has the signs of no smoking in areas I thought were quite weird .... Didn't realize it was true to life lol

[magic harness]

When will 2042 come to EA play

[lilac dust]

Although reskinned discarded ship on stranded says Safety first in that area so immersion ruined. Refund pls DICE

[night vessel]

DICE please fix ya unable to load persistence data thing I can not play the damn game man :/

legit how it feels right now :/

why is that I have to forcefully delete origin and steam in order to play a game ?

[modest tundra]

AHHHHHHHH！Fuck you DICE!

I was testing the portal and it froze！！！

[arctic grove]

Yooo chill my man , no reason to be throwing slurs

Do you want some help with that

[modest tundra]

Well, although DICE hasn't fixed this issue yet, it's really infuriating

[lilac dust]

Manifest should be the next rework right? I think that's the smallest out of the remaining 5 maps

[modest tundra]

Any way, if it can take effect

[woven acorn]

Yeah, it's a no brainer to me. Not sure why they didn't do it to start with

[woven acorn]

What's the one in the desert with the city? Hour glass? That needs a rework, a lot of empty space

[lilac dust]

Hourglass should've been the first rework, but sadly they're working their way from smallest to largest

[woven acorn]

Oof

Surprised dice or ea haven't allocated more teams to help push all this through

Then once the revamps and fixes have been done the standard team can carry on with dlc

[lilac dust]

At least there's hope that hourglass might get reworked by the end of season 3 since it's not as big as breakaway

[woven acorn]

They might be doing that already idk, but if so it's very slow progress

[lilac dust]

I'm honestly just kinda impressed theyre even bothering to rework the launch maps. It's kind of unprecedented... Like every game has at least a 1 or 2 awful maps, so it's kinda cool what they're doing IMO, but I agree it's a little on the slow side

[light yew]

game kreeps crashing

what amma gonna do

https://tenor.com/view/throwing-table-catching-chair-hold-my-purse-incredible-hulk-fight-gif-12500413

[lilac dust]

Buy a PS5

Jk Jk. You do you. Just felt like answering your rhetorical question

[woven acorn]

Pc?

[woven acorn]

It's definitely a surprise to get all the maps redone but part of me thinks that they aren't doing it to be nice, they're doing it because they know it's an absolute necessity. If they don't do it people will drop the game because the maps are so awful and they'll lose money

So it's for self gain

If they released a ton of content or even a whole season for portal, now then I'd turn around and say actually yeah that was cool of them, they didn't have to do that

[lilac dust]

Well absolutely. Money is always the driving force for supporting any live service game. They have a track record of making sure that the current battlefield title always gets to a decent point before moving to the next game to ensure better sales for that one

[junior pike]

[still vault]

If you did the correct thing to redeem the price just wait until MTC is awake 🙂

[eager spire]

It’s not morning time yet so that’s why they’re not here. Probably

[hollow schooner]

Hey uh, ik this isn't about 2042, but I need some help with something regarding battlefield V

[junior pike]

maybe, i'm waiting

[hollow schooner]

How do I claim my "The Last Tiger" skin after completing all the challenges and collecting all the letters

Anybody?

[junior pike]

IDK

[next onyx]

Supposed to be through the armoury.

However if you cannot.

Go to EA help and they should be able to give it to you.

Just say you've cleaned your save data, Restarted it and it still doesn't work.

[grizzled whale]

Same

[hollow schooner]

Wait will restarting it work potentially?

[next onyx]

Possibly. Clearing the save data is supposed to wipe it clean and give you another shot.

I tried this but this further fucked it for me.

[hollow schooner]

As in restarting the game

[next onyx]

OH I mean restarting the mission with the clean data.

[hollow schooner]

Oh

Well, how do I contact EA help?

And how long will it take

Wait

That worked

I entered a mission

And left

[next onyx]

Wait you just got it?

[hollow schooner]

I finally have my Tiger 237 skin! Thanks for the tips anyway lad.

[next onyx]

Yeah no worries man.

[hollow schooner]

Yes

[next onyx]

Glad to hear it worked out.

I still remember when that thing was just one piece lol.

[hollow schooner]

Thanks for the help lad

[next onyx]

Again, No worries. If you need help with bf5 I should be able to help out.

[royal trail]

bf2042 has its 1 year anniversary in 3 weeks

wonder if there will be anything special

[woven acorn]

Hope so

Has it really been 1 year? 💀

[royal trail]

yeah

time flies

[woven acorn]

Game could have easily done with another year in the oven then

[royal trail]

less than 3 weeks if we count the early access

[tepid agate]

They are still reworking maps

[eager spire]

Close to it yeah.

And engine level input issues are still not fixed.

[tepid agate]

It's a failed product. Really was a swing and a miss

[royal trail]

i got over 170 hours played tho and i enjoy it

but ye its far from perfect

[tepid agate]

I don't know my hours but I got up to about SL80

[woven acorn]

Wow

I'm lvl 82 or something

[royal trail]

i just installed the new nvidia drivers and now the game freeze in like a second, is this happening to anyone else still or should i roll back my drivers?

[tepid agate]

2042 has gone down to about 5k on Steam while it's competitor (MW2 I guess) is up to 250,000 wth

[eager spire]

It’s very far from perfect, hell, it’s not close to good.

[woven acorn]

I've had some fun with it, but yeah really not sure what they were thinking with it.

"Battlefield fans really want something that isn't battlefield" like wut?!

[royal trail]

2142 was also a long shot and i enjoyed that aswell

[tepid agate]

2042 is half way through live service though still another 2 seasons

[woven acorn]

But didn't that retain its core battlefield mechanics? I.e squad play, tactics etc

[arctic grove]

i hope the next one is good, I will buy it just for the great aircraft experience bf has

[tepid agate]

I hope the next one is good too

[woven acorn]

Battlefield has some phenomenal pilots, almost every game I'm in there's 1. Kinda puts me off trying it out, but I'm happy for them to do their thing

[arctic grove]

even the best pilot would struggle if they're in a F-35E against a SU-57 🗿 the Su-57 is so much better it's not even fair. The VTOL is incredibly niche.

[tepid agate]

If they don't get specialists to work in the game within the next 2 seasons they are will surely be extinct in the next Battlefield

[arctic grove]

I mean they are having a stroke tryna build a game with most of their staff not even familiar with frostbite 🗿

[woven acorn]

I don't think it's even a question anymore, I just can't see them ever bringing specialists back after this

[tepid agate]

Well, I'm sure they will try to get them to work in the time remaining for live service

[lilac dust]

If that were true then COD would be dead a looooong time ago lol .... vanguard came out just last year and people still going crazy for MW2

[arctic grove]

MW2 is really good though . . .

Vanguard was a joke but mw2 is good

[lilac dust]

I agree

[woven acorn]

We all know they brought specialists into the mix to get people attached to specific characters, making them more likely to kit them out via mtx.

Not sure why they didn't realise people will still use mtx for regular soldiers. We don't need, or want specialists

[lilac dust]

The next battlefield could be the best game ever and people will flock to it. Doesn't matter how much 2042 screwed up is my point

[tepid agate]

Some people like specialists, more people don't, this the hit and miss

[arctic grove]

I hope the aircraft are better, But i would love for the SU-57 to stay 🗿

[woven acorn]

It does matter. It hurts their reputation hugely and more importantly their credibility. People will have more doubt going into the next title now because of what they've done to 2042

[tepid agate]

If next battlefield has specialists I bet people won't flock to it lol

[lilac dust]

Yeah but my point is that as soon as MW2 came out, it didn't matter how bad vanguard was, people forgot about it

[woven acorn]

If the hands on impressions are good then obviously people will flock to it, but we're talking about the build up to the release where they're trying to draw people in. You really think people will fall for it after 2042s balls up?

[tepid agate]

Don't cod do games like every year though battlefield is ever few years

[lilac dust]

MM2 is actually a perfect example of how badly the previous game can be and still almost entirely not affect the franchises rep at all lol

[arctic grove]

I'm gonna pre order anyways 🗿

[woven acorn]

Mainly because they had a track record with mw2019 and I believe it was the same team for it so there's credibility there

[eager spire]

MW22 is a disappointment. Frankly MW19 was closer to being a good game than MW22.

[woven acorn]

The modern warfare franchise is separate to the other cod installments in my opinion. I think a lot of people feel the same. As soon as the next vanguard or whatever comes out the following year I'll be immediately uninterested again.

[lilac dust]

Yeah but again I'm looking at this in a very simplistic way here. If the next battlefield is battlefield 4 the sequel or Battlefield 3 the sequel then people will check it out. 2042 had plenty of skepticism before launch and it still sold really well before the refunds

[fiery sluice]

[eager spire]

IW just insisted on making the game worse in multiple areas for no good reason, and then just doubled down on that.

[tepid agate]

I bet if refunds would be allowed 2042 would be the most refunded game in history

I bet they sold a ton

[woven acorn]

In theory a BF4 sequel would get a lot of attention yes, but I would say due to recent news that almost all senior Devs have left people won't look at their sequels in the same way. It's really tarnished their reputation sadly

[tepid agate]

Exactly

[lilac dust]

I'd argue that BFV tarnished their rep more before that game became good. Before that game even launched they dug a grave so deep that 2042 just barely caught up to

[woven acorn]

The future of battlefield is on a different path now and I'm going to treat their next installments with a lot of skepticism. It's a new team, i can't trust that they'll deliver the same experiences as the older games

[tepid agate]

Atleast bfV kept the core formula of a battlefield game (classes) and didn't scrap them for specialists like 2042 that really hurt the game

[woven acorn]

Battlefield V was the start of it all yes, I mean a lot of Devs left over it

[lilac dust]

2042 = Game breaking criticism - BFV = Devs telling people to not buy the game. IMO BFV takes the cake for driving more people away

[tepid agate]

2042 is a year old and still reworking their maps

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/0001-gif-25597406

[woven acorn]

Yep, and I really hope their next installment does that. But we're talking about the pre release, peoples opinions prior to the game

[arctic grove]

what we discussing today folks

[woven acorn]

The future of battlefield and their reputation

[arctic grove]

lovely I’ve heard that before

[tepid agate]

They never fail to deliver bad trailers. They are masters of that

[arctic grove]

Ranting about 2042

Gotcha!

[woven acorn]

Guns go pew pew?

[arctic grove]

boins go?

[tepid agate]

No ranting just facts 😆

[arctic grove]

Xeno have you played BF 2042 yet?

[tepid agate]

Well that's a lot to do

[woven acorn]

I will admit it saddens me to see the server used for ranting, I hope one day there's a reason to be excited about the game and its content

[tepid agate]

#battlefield-2042 message

[arctic grove]

have you tried the portal weapons ?

[eager spire]

It’s not like it’s unwarranted, to be fair.

[arctic grove]

i think the next bf would be good :]

Gonna pre order

[tepid agate]

If specialists stay.... No it's doomed lol I'm more sure that they will go that 2042 being revived

[south surge]

are the servers getting DDoSed?

[woven acorn]

It's completely warranted, they deserve every single rant (not the devs, just management lel). But I love BF so I'd like to see the conversation be more positive one day

[arctic grove]

Can be^

[tepid agate]

Same here

[south surge]

games super slow says something about performance issues being worked on. on the main menue

no

[chilly jacinth]

That notice is for the crashing issue on pc

[woven acorn]

PC is the worst affected i believe. Only been able to play 1 game since the update over a week ago. It's abysmal

[eager spire]

Well I mean, I donno if I can blame management for engine level input issues still being present in the game a year into it’s life.

[south surge]

ill just come back tomorow

[tepid agate]

It's fair to say 2042 has already peaked

[eager spire]

I’ll reboot your PC

[arctic grove]

I know it sounds simple but it been proven to work

[chilly jacinth]

Reboot does jack

[arctic grove]

it worked last night in FNB with a few players

[chilly jacinth]

Lucky them i guess

my crashing is worse than ever

[woven acorn]

Development team are having technical issues yes, but I'm not about to have a go at hard working, talented developers who are most likely having to deal with crunch time, mismanagement and lack of experience. Ultimately it's the managers job to ensure their employees are equipped to complete their tasks

[tepid agate]

@arctic grove you know it's dropped down to 5k on Steam for a weekend and MW2 is up to 250,000... Should not be behind bfV as it's still got live service

[eager spire]

Fair enough.

I will have a go at them for claiming that SMG’s are not weapons that should reward accuracy though.

Cause that’s an insane take.

[woven acorn]

Developers do what they're told, they already get enough stick for things that are outside of their control and pay. They don't need more negativity imo

[tepid agate]

Just use a riot shield

[eager spire]

Yes I am still annoyed about that

[tepid agate]

Silence is the best for them to reflect

[woven acorn]

I've always seen smgs as close quarters spray and pray, accuracy isn't really my focus with them

[tepid agate]

Isn't there a portal server knife Vs defibrillators like the trailer

[woven acorn]

Yeah sometimes

If someone's hosting one

[tepid agate]

What's the standard player size

[eager spire]

Here’s the thing though. Weapon type should never dictate whether accuracy is rewarded or not. Accuracy should always be rewarded in an FPS game, regardless of the gun being used. To claim otherwise is insane.

[woven acorn]

What do they mean by rewarded though?

[tepid agate]

You can stand up, not mount and spray heavy machine guns like a laser though

[foggy halo]

Yet there are are still people that fanatically defend this game :) you are not allowed to point the issues. You have to pretend that the game is fine. Every criticism means that you are mad.

[eager spire]

Just because YOU see them as the spray and prey guns, doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t reward accuracy.

[eager spire]

The statement was made as a justification for nerfing the headshot multiplier for SMG’s from 2x to 1.25x.

[woven acorn]

Hmmm that is odd then

[eager spire]

It’s insane.

[woven acorn]

Why not just say 2x was too much

[chilly jacinth]

2x headshot multiplier is nuts

[woven acorn]

Odd justification

[arctic grove]

2x is normal honestly

[woven acorn]

I keep 2x on when I do my portal servers

[foggy halo]

The main issue is literally switching to 128 players

[chilly jacinth]

sure for some other weapon types

[woven acorn]

Feels more realistic

[foggy halo]

They did a mistake that’s impossible to fix

[arctic grove]

which is?

[woven acorn]

I honestly don't have a problem with it if the map density can keep up. They slacked on the map side and so it failed

[eager spire]

Crossplay also introduced issues that they clearly cannot fix

Like the engine level input issues.

Those were not present in previous BF games

[fiery sluice]

[arctic grove]

Frostbite moment

[pine roost]

I always thought crossplay would bring issues ever since they excluded PlayStation from playing because of technical issues

[woven acorn]

Just frostbite things

[chilly jacinth]

excluded playstation?

[pine roost]

Yeah I can’t remember which test it was specifically but they weren’t able to play it for a while

Yeah it was the technical test they did behind closed doors

[chilly jacinth]

thats irrelevant

[foggy halo]

I don’t understand what you get from fanatically defending this game.

[eager spire]

Like, I’m of the opinion that if you cannot get input in your FPS game working properly, you need to throw out the entire thing.

Fucking scrap it. Start over.

[woven acorn]

Some obviously enjoy it and want to explain why

[foggy halo]

They don’t explain why, they just want the critics to shut up lol

I mean the fanatical ones

[arctic grove]

My 100$ were worth it the day i tried out the Su-57

god damn that's a Good jet, I'm trying to create a RC replica IRL rn with the silver and black skin from in game

[eager spire]

low standards I guess

[pine roost]

It’s a cool jet, it’s just a shame that they are still refusing to add back features and make fixes to them in general

[arctic grove]

Nah i genuinely like it more than Ace combat or War thunder

War thunder just has a shit aiming system ngl

[eager spire]

🤨

no accounting for bad taste I suppose.

[arctic grove]

What's better is better.

[pine roost]

War thunder can feel a bit floaty at times I guess

[chilly jacinth]

imagine that

[eager spire]

I have a very hard time believing that 2042 does better jets than games entirely dedicated to flying jets.

[chilly jacinth]

people liking different things

[arctic grove]

Well then get ready to be suprised

[tepid agate]

Wow I see even bf1 has more steam players than 2042 also now has season 2 really been that bad?

I mean, season 1 blew us away with exposure bring the best map in the game. Season 2 probably the best then is the orbital map rework. It's better than the stranded map.

[pine roost]

I love jets in bf games, just having to wait now for a balance / bug fix pass on them

[tame cobalt]

Orbital 2 now the best map?

Haven't played it yet

Orbital 1 was already good

[tepid agate]

A close debate with exposure I'd say

[chilly jacinth]

pc numbers are down right now because of the constant crashing

[tame cobalt]

[tepid agate]

Probably because of MW2

[chilly jacinth]

No

[tame cobalt]

[tepid agate]

You think any live season will consistently bring in more players than BFV?

[chilly jacinth]

🤷‍♂️

we can only see steam numbers

so hard to say

[tame cobalt]

true

[eager spire]

eh, probably not a case of it being objectively better, probably just subjective interest in the Su-57.

[tepid agate]

Yeah steam just gives us an average but not the full story

[tame cobalt]

the game isn't such a mess on ps5 and xbox series

always been worse on pc

so steam numbers aren't so reliable

[tepid agate]

MW2 is popping off on Steam 250,000 players I bet that's reliable lol

[pine roost]

War thunder might be ‘objectively better’ because it’s more realistic. But bf is more fun. I’d take fun over realism any day

[arctic grove]

Major ARMA 3 moment lmfao

[eager spire]

From what I can tell War Thunder isn’t even that fun as a plane game. I have more friends that like Ace Combat than War Thunder.

[arctic grove]

Ace combat is a 100% better

Going 6000 Km/hr on the darkstar is really fun

[eager spire]

I’m sure it is. I’m not big on jets tho.

[arctic grove]

The big black plane from Top Gun maverick.

[tame cobalt]

nothing objective about that

[eager spire]

Never seen the movie.

[tame cobalt]

being more realistic would make it worse for me

[arctic grove]

Brah

[pine roost]

Same for me

[eager spire]

I’ve never even seen Top Gun.

[tame cobalt]

[pine roost]

But when pitching down is still faster than pitching up, that just makes no sense

[tame cobalt]

oh u talkin bout aircraft handling

yeah then 2042 loses to other games

[pine roost]

Indeed

[arctic grove]

ah no it's the same way irl

[pine roost]

but why add it to the game

[eager spire]

Well 2042 loses to other games by default due to not having input that works properly. :V

[tame cobalt]

at least 2042 condors handle better than the dogshit condors in mw2

[arctic grove]

Realistic

[pine roost]

I suppose the same thing can be said for the fact that the SU turns faster than the F35

Because rEAlIsM

[arctic grove]

I mean . . . IT BETTER ??? 2042 IS LITERALLY 50V50

The condor is essential

[tame cobalt]

64v64

[pine roost]

Despite the fact that it makes any attempt to dogfight immediately swayed dependant on what team you play on

[arctic grove]

Cultured humor here.

StackVstack

[eager spire]

Modern CoD games having vehicles outside of killstreaks was a mistake

[arctic grove]

Yes.

they should just go back to racist TDM

Way more fun that way

[tame cobalt]

[arctic grove]

A stack of items in minecraft is 64.

[eager spire]

Then again a lot of things in modern CoD are mistakes.

[tame cobalt]

[eager spire]

Like High Alert.

And having double barrel shotguns.

[tame cobalt]

L

[arctic grove]

LOL i called in a AC-130 with the shotgun in like less than 50 seconds

(idk exact time so don't get all scientific)

[eager spire]

Also the continued existence of Overkill as a perk

[arctic grove]

OVERKILL IS GOOD :|

The one that allows 2 guns right?

[eager spire]

Overkill is bullshit, all anyone ever used that shit for in MW19 was having 725 secondaries. That’s it.

[foggy halo]

I don’t complain about this game anymore because I’ve stopped playing it.

Usually I played the games, seen what’s wrong with it, and typed it here

[arctic grove]

You dont need to point out what's wrong if everything is 😎 👊

[foggy halo]

If I argue with you, I will get punished

Debate

[arctic grove]

i don't wanna either

I'd rather 1v1 a cactus.

[foggy halo]

[eager spire]

Nah, it’s a dumbass perk that undermines the existence of every secondary weapon in the game and allows people to carry an instant win button in CQB as a secondary.

I disagree and that’s my reasoning for doing so.

Your statement is also your opinion, by that logic it is also not valid.

[arctic grove]

It's the battle of god's.

[pine roost]

I understand the logic behind disliking it

[eager spire]

Right because pointing out the balancing issue it creates is crying, thanks for that.

[pine roost]

I don’t have enough experience to have a proper opinion of it

[eager spire]

Oh fuck you.

Piss off mate. I’m going to sleep, I ain’t putting up with this shit.

[pine roost]

It’s called criticism

So, you guys still crashing after the Mackay hat being disabled?

[chilly jacinth]

yes

its worse infact

for me

[mossy belfry]

I just know that I had issues until this morning where the FPS dropped to 10, and 3 secs later to 0, making the game unplayable and having to alt F4 out.. but managed to fix it, no crashes in regards to Mackay yet

[still vault]

Should not be worse. Probably just the randomness of the freezes, slowness, crashes and you being unlucky with it. Or something else is adding to your crashes, like the latest Nvidia driver or something.

[chilly jacinth]

Deleting cache used to fix the crashing for me

now it doesnt

and i havent updated anything

[mossy belfry]

Is this also since recent update?

In this https://steamcommunity.com/app/1517290/discussions/0/3471738893386247653/ i describe the fix to my issue that many many people have, which enables DX12 in the profile as well as cleaning the cache, not sure if it's a fix to your problem

[chilly jacinth]

dx12 is the default

[mossy belfry]

not for me it aint

[chilly jacinth]

you cant exactly enable something that is always on

[still vault]

Graphics drivers are not perfect. Sometimes people have to use DDU during clean boot to start from scratch.

[mossy belfry]

welp, whatever the cause, for me the toggle was at 0, and my entire game was fixed when I turned that setting to 1.

[still vault]

Also, for the solutions people are posting out there, most are placebo effects with the freeze/crash/slowness rearing its face sometime after.

[shy latch]

mine was 1 from long time, but still having random freezes

yeah I think the same as Carbonic just said

it's useless for us as simple users to struggle with fixes/workarounds that are placebos only, we need to wait for the devs to find what's the real problem is and fix

I red about a lot of "fixes" during these days, i tried all of them and basically non of them was a real solution

[mossy belfry]

oh, most def.. I'm just posting my solution as I was eager for these battle pass tiers, and not being able to make it for a week annoyed me

so I'm glad I found what worked for me

And I'm just hoping that it'll work for others

[shy latch]

probably will be just temporary Kraken

[mossy belfry]

we'll have to see, for now I'm already half way through my battlepass target of the week, just need to wrap that up before I get crashes again

[still vault]

My battlepass target is where it needs to be, basically I only need to do the remaining 3 weeks of weeklies

[low timber]

With or without the bonus mission being 2x?

[still vault]

without

[low timber]

I need 177 points for the T1 badge.

Lmao

[shy latch]

notice the pfp for 2042, S1 and S2

the next one will be blueish (imo this will be the S3 color)

[still vault]

Release was bluish as well, as you can see

[pine roost]

well would you look at that, I just experience a freeze :/

guess that's just how it works out sometimes

[mossy belfry]

the new world we live in 😛

[shy latch]

mmh not really, it's more green/aqua

[pine roost]

teal

[shy latch]

yeah those shades

[still vault]

In any case, we will see, some kind of green maybe, purple can be considered used for the liquidator event

[mossy belfry]

Ah crap, I'm only at 775... that 1150 points required for red badge is damn hard, lmao

[still vault]

with double points for the last 3 weeks it can be doable

[mossy belfry]

haven't noticed the x2 points tbh

[still vault]

441 points for the weeklies alone

[mossy belfry]

I've done all weeklies for the past 8 weeks, week 6 has 7/8 since I sucked with melee

[shy latch]

what about if a season will be full black as reference color? would be interesting

[pine roost]

freeze again, consistently while loading into a solo conquest match

[mossy belfry]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1517290/discussions/0/3471738893386247653/ try this

[pine roost]

is there any way for us to send them data that shows what is going on leading up to a freeze? Crash reports are like that but freezes aren't quite the same

[shy latch]

yeah, on the EA forum

[still vault]

📌 s

[shy latch]

Carbonic has attached a message with the link of it

[pine roost]

are there logs we can copy over?

[shy latch]

but there is no crash report afaik because of the freeze, only the dxdiag

[still vault]

Considering pretty much all people are having the issue they should have no issue reproducing it, dxdiags and msinfo does help rule out a bunch of stuff though I would imagine

[shy latch]

🤷

[pine roost]

that helmet might have been a separate issue then, related to peformance over the crashes

[shy latch]

I guess the helmet was the cause of the stuttering, it's the only difference I noticed since they removed it

[pine roost]

that's good

[still vault]

helmet might just have interacted poorly with the issue and not being the cause itself. With issues like this everything can interact in weird ways.

[pine roost]

I wonder if they had to systematically go over EVERY cosmetic to find the one causing problems

[shy latch]

that's a good question but there is no answer

during my previous job I experienced something similar

[quaint vector]

They probably checked everything that they added recently

[shy latch]

as far as I remember I did not solved the problem and was there at least 1 year after my departure, none of the engineers understood what was the possible cause for that problem and there was no way to fix even with any workaround

[radiant thunder]

Alright guys, I need confirmation, I'm on Level 16, still can't use a Fighter Jet. Why?

[shy latch]

I don't know anything about coding and this kind of stuffs, but I can totally understand the devs how they feel in this moments trying to find out a problem without any clue

[pine roost]

the jets don't have an unlock requirement do they?

[regal sphinx]

I got BP-Points for playing Solo-Breakthrough (was grinding kills for the Vault Weapons).

I thought getting BP-Points for Solo are disabled...did DICE change this? 🤔

[autumn yew]

o-o

stop yelling with your eyes.

[arctic grove]

Because Jets suck

Not unlike the ACW-R animation bug during end-of-round where it sticks straight out.

[dry coral]

so im now very fucking depressed since i found out the issue causing me to get booted back to menu as well as having issues connecting to Portal Matches is completely out of my hands

[mighty moat]

did 2042 ever get the patches it needed?

[uncut bay]

yes

[mighty moat]

bullet damage was fixed?

[uncut bay]

i didn't know it was an issue

[mighty moat]

did they add anything new to the game?

[uncut bay]

yep

[mighty moat]

there was an issue when the game came out and up until season 1 where some people would shoot someone point blank and do no damage

[drowsy shuttle]

yes the freezes and crashes are pretty new this season

[mighty moat]

lol, they arent

[uncut bay]

that was fixed a while ago

[mighty moat]

game crashed for people at launch

[drowsy shuttle]

game went full circle

[mighty moat]

that sucks

was anything added to portal?

[hearty flame]

just guns

no maps

[mighty moat]

what guns?

[hearty flame]

no idea really

[mighty moat]

ah

i'm just wondering if 2042 is even worth going back to or not

[hearty flame]

no idea really

if you are waiting for change then mid s3 maybe? when they kinda re-add classes

[mighty moat]

why are they adding back classes?

[hearty flame]

because they are hoping to get people back that wanted classes
but we'll see with how its not really classes

[drowsy shuttle]

well im that guy who just got mw2 gifted 2 days ago, and im still going to play bf 2042.... why? because im stupid... (and the gun play of battlefield is 10x better than mw2)

[mighty moat]

guess that makes sense

and mw2 is overpriced

[hearty flame]

lol mw2 seems more worth launch price than 2042 was

[dry coral]

what sucks for me is im probably not going to be able to play either on a consistent basis

[drowsy shuttle]

i will play the campaign on mw2 and battlefield for multiplayer

[mighty moat]

i just wanted to know if the game got it's fixes and is actually getting content updates

[drowsy shuttle]

a bit yes...

[mighty moat]

last i played was sometime season 1 when they added only like 3 guns and 1 map

[hearty flame]

depends on your definition of good
good quality- people seem to say so
good quantity- laughable

the norm going forward is 1 map and a handful of weapons

[mighty moat]

i didnt say good quality

i was just saying content in general

[drowsy shuttle]

right now i rate battlefield 2042 a 5.5 out of 10

[hearty flame]

ah ya dunno where i saw good but its getting content. barely

[mighty moat]

2042 wasnt 70 at launch, and still isnt 70

[drowsy shuttle]

i hope by season 4 is a solid 7 but i doubt it

[hearty flame]

i dont think anyone will argue that here lol

[mighty moat]

sure sure but saying it's more worth it when 70 isnt fair

games have been 60 bucks since the 90's

[hearty flame]

s4 will definitely be a season of all time. just like all the seasons. itll make 2042 one of the games of all time

[shy latch]

that's not the real reason, but ok

[mighty moat]

why did you say "one of the games of all time"

[hearty flame]

lol the people that like 2042 arent clamoring for classes

[mighty moat]

that doesnt tell me if its good or not

[mighty moat]

neither am i

[hearty flame]

its just another way of saying forgettable really. not good, not bad. its meh and so forgettable

[mighty moat]

what i did hate though is that i cant have a repair torch and a rocket launcher unless i play portal

[shy latch]

people were crying from the launch (even todays) for classes, even tho it's clear that 2042 wasn't mean for class restriction

[lapis lichen]

been having an issue that once i load into a game it just black screens. have audio and can hear my guy running around and shooting but no video

[mighty moat]

2042 is a spin off, they wanted to test stuff, they did, now they hired one of the oldest devs from bungie and we're safe for bf6

[hearty flame]

so dice is trying to get people that want classes into 2042

[mighty moat]

i just hope when bf6 happens that it has all the same movement and mechanics from bf5

bf5 felt better and more like a battlefield game than 2042 does

[hearty flame]

whoa now, marcus is just doing narrative stuff. vince is supposed to be doing gameplay stuff but we'll see how dice does

[shy latch]

DICE is only trying to let those balls breaker about classes happy, but of course they are doing a compromise

[mighty moat]

i know what he's for. he's working on story for the campaign

[hearty flame]

so then why say "that's not the real reason, but ok"?

[mighty moat]

they have classes...in portal

[hearty flame]

ah ok. doubt bf should really be doing campaigns really but EA wants that battlefield-verse

[shy latch]

because otherwise they will have worse reaction if they'll never introduce a compromised class system

[mighty moat]

a lot of people liked the campaign for bf4. enough that people were mad there wasnt one in BFV

[shy latch]

but I don't blame DICE, I just blame those kind of people that didn't (and still can't) understand that 2042 wasn't developed with classes in mind

[hearty flame]

i mean the people that have moved on wont come back. some will try and stay and some will try and leave again. and the people that liked playing cod classes wont be happy with restrictions again

[pine roost]

It’s a tough predicament

[hearty flame]

i dunno. the last good campaign from dice is the bad companys. they actually exploited dices destruction stuff in gameplay and not setpieces like bf3/4.
so i dont really think they should do campaigns unless they intend to make them something besides cod-ish clones

[arctic grove]

2042 has crashed for me loads of times, since the last update

[mighty moat]

you made it sound like battlefield doesnt know who their target audience is

[hearty flame]

dice sure doesnt. EAs marketing department sure did though.

[mighty moat]

good is subjective. i said people liked the campaign for bf4. i never said it was the best one in the series

[pine roost]

The classes won’t feel the same for me as long as specialists exist. For me some of the most annoying aspects come down to their personalities and gadgets that do far too much for such little effort

But I’ve just accepted that and when it comes around try to enjoy it for what it is

[mighty moat]

the game already doesnt feel the same. bfv was the last game in the series that still felt like a battlefield game

[hearty flame]

so are you arguing for or against the class-ish change then? cant tell

[mighty moat]

i already said i wasnt

dunno why you deleted that

i saw you said you didnt see when i said i'm not arguing for classes

[hearty flame]

I deleted because i wasnt sure if you were arguing against classes or werent aguing about classes
i was gonna reply but got distracted lol

[tame cobalt]

As a full price buyer of gold edition

I say 2042 should go f2p

[mighty moat]

you payed extra for skins, lol

[tame cobalt]

They can just give all current owners 10,000 free boins when they go f2p

[timber wasp]

the game should be playable first lol

[tame cobalt]

it is

[hearty flame]

i doubt 2042 will go f2p. ea probably thinks itll hurt the brand

[chilly jacinth]

personally im loving the freezing

every time i load into a game

[timber wasp]

log in,play 10 mins,crash instantly and my pc freezes

very fun

[tame cobalt]

just play on next gen console, ez

[timber wasp]

yes i will get a ps5 while i have a rtx 2070 and dual monitors

wise decision

[tame cobalt]

[still vault]

📌 the bug is described in the pins

[tame cobalt]

[timber wasp]

tbf i can now play a extra 20 seconds since they removed the helmet

[tame cobalt]

Game broke from a helmet?

[timber wasp]

idfk at this point

its been a week and i still cant play a full match

[hearty flame]

if we believe dice sure but people are still saying they crash

[lavish kayak]

bf have gotten a lot worse these past few days, every other game i spawn in with an invisible gun and every character is flying guns with invisible models and then it just crashes

[timber wasp]

my fps tanks hard after a while then it crashes all together

like it crashes even in the menu

[lavish kayak]

is this the game telling me to finally buy a cod game?

[next onyx]

Eh it's up to you.

If you want to play a game that's potentially even more frustrating and just as likely to crash (based off what I heard) then go for it.

[hearty flame]

if you want to play an fps while you wait for 2042 to get better? sure

[lavish kayak]

started using the am40 a couple of days ago, tried unlocking some attachements in bot games and it kept crashing and couldnt even finish a game

tried playing 3 games since last night and 2 of them crashed and 2 times during menus lol

[vagrant stirrup]

Some advice by me, take a look
https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Some-advice-to-the-game/m-p/11997346#M141278

[mighty moat]

well, the conclusions looks like 2042 isnt worth it with the current lack of content

looks like i'm reinstalling bfv

[crisp parcel]

I'll play bf5 with you

[mighty moat]

lol

[crisp parcel]

I have like no one to play with

[mighty moat]

yeah, i feel that. i liked 2042 when it came out but with the lack of content i cant act like the game is going anywhere

sometimes i wish i got my money back

[timber wasp]

the gun play in 2042 is actually decent

but then the rest of the stuff just makes it worse

[mighty moat]

that's what's sad. for a moment i played portal because it allowed me to play older games with better controller support

[timber wasp]

fr portal is so much fun

[mighty moat]

only problem is that with a lack of content it get's old quick

and the gameplay of the soldier isnt as good as bfv

[timber wasp]

they should just remake more old maps or let players make maps

[timber wasp]

ye true its a lot more arcadey than 5

a lot of stuff got taken away

[mighty moat]

i dont even think of it like that. it just feels like a step down versus previous games in the series

i feel, genuinely, that it feel different moving and shooting in 2042 than any other game in the series

like it isnt even a battlefield game

[timber wasp]

kinda isnt

tbf

[mighty moat]

it's a spin off like bf2142

but bf2142 is actually built off bf2

[timber wasp]

2142 minus a shitload of features

and u get 2042

[mighty moat]

nawh, 2142 doesnt do that lame future thing where some one says "scifi but only kind of"

2142 had mechs

[timber wasp]

and those massive ships aswell

like bruh

[mighty moat]

yeah

[timber wasp]

game from years ago had more stuff than this one

[mighty moat]

at this point they should have just remastered 2142 and added new stuff

[timber wasp]

remaster bc2 with the new frostbite engine they talkin about

[hearty flame]

lol i dont even trust dice to remaster properly

[mighty moat]

honestly, bc2 was good enough on it's own to the point that i'd play it as is

[timber wasp]

best thing the new dice can do is give it some better graphics

if they do that i would be happy

[mighty moat]

yeah, honestly. they should just do what borderlands did with the graphics pack and keep the servers running for bc2

[timber wasp]

fr

[arctic grove]

Poop

[mental delta]

Please stop 🥲

[rapid moon]

I cant get into fucking games

[vivid nacelle]

Try non-fucking games

[sour meadow]

i heard mw2 has a lot less crackhead movement

bunnyhopping and dolphin diving, that kinda stuff

[solar minnow]

Yeah, it has way quicker TTK.

[sour meadow]

i'm kinda intrigued

[forest snow]

nothing better then ruining peoples boosting "fun" in a portal boosting server ha

[sour meadow]

i stopped playing cod because SBMM kept forcing me to fight 15 year olds on a diet of mountain dew and Adderall

[solar minnow]

I feel like it makes the game more campy.
