battlefield-2042

[sour meadow]

that's another problem

i'm so used to running around in battlefield

then i play cod and everyone is just roasting weenies

[solar minnow]

Yeah, same. The play style in the new COD is slow

[sour meadow]

holding corners and camping rooftops n shit

[solar minnow]

I see a lot of people using SMG too.

[sour meadow]

extremely dull gameplay

[pine roost]

You know what could help solve that? Movement

[sour meadow]

yea that's the other side of the arguement

people saying the movement was made for 40 year old dads on 70 inch tvs

[chilly jacinth]

Theyd rather remove any movement

[pine roost]

But realistically there will always be campers

Heck even titanfall 2 has it’s A-wall spitfire pilot sentry campers

[sour meadow]

also the visual recoil on pc is blinding

[chilly jacinth]

im just waiting on them turning every match into crouch only matches

[sour meadow]

yea the footstep whoring has gotten so bad that everyone just crouch walks

turns the game into a fuckin slog

[pine roost]

Cod just confuses me with how it’s made

[solar minnow]

Yeah, I think 2019 had a good balance.

they also got rid of the perks that would help you stay silence.

[sour meadow]

also the price

and the filesize

not worth it

[sharp marten]

People are mad it’s a tactical shooter or it’s to realistic

[pine roost]

Oh yeah how big is it?

[foggy halo]

Fake follower

But I agree

[blissful pond]

I don’t understand helicopters in this game

[still vault]

they fly, they

[pine roost]

And they flip

Constantly

[still vault]

they do?

[pine roost]

Mine do, that’s the bug I’ve been reporting for the last 2 seasons :)

[blissful pond]

My helicopter gets 1 shot and the enemy takes like 4 aa rockets, a tank shot and my entire ammo system and still lives

And the rockets do nothing against infantry

[pine roost]

Who are you playing as and what are you against

[regal sphinx]

Battle Pass completed.
Got my Crawford Skin today.
Ooohrah! 😎

[blissful pond]

I use attack helicopters. The base stuff becwuse I never played them before like 3 days ago since I always got 1 shot

Bruh I just spawned in and got 1 shot by a hovercraft. Wtaf

In a helicopter

The apache

[formal imp]

Nice

[regal sphinx]

Don't know how to spend my spare 1300 Boins.
Suggestions? 🤔

[formal imp]

Save them

Being rich I funnier Than having cool stuff

[lament lake]

Yeah, just save them for when something really cool releases, or for the next season

[formal imp]

Soad fan??

[lament lake]

Yep

[formal imp]

My profile pic is also from one their album covers

Hypnotize

[lament lake]

Oh shit?

I see it now

[regal sphinx]

The only thing that I would be interested in is that Legendary LAT4-Skin. 🤔

But the Mad-Max-LAT4-Skin from Season 1 (the one with the Bull-Skull) is fine enough. 🤗

[regal sphinx]

Sounds good. 🤭

[winter birch]

what mode isnt dead

[blissful pond]

Can someone explain how a missile can be tracking me and I don’t get the warning beep???????

Like wtaf is that

[pine roost]

could be a tow, or a dumbfire, sometimes the lock has no warning, or maybe the lock did occur but you just didn't hear it?

the miniguns do have the capacity to damage aircraft if I remember correctly

also don't use the smart rockets. Just don't

[sharp marten]

It’s so funny to me to watch people complain about how cod has no movement now they resort to drop shotting or bunny hopping which still doesn’t work

In their favor that is

[blissful pond]

No I have it so that it literally appears with “lock-in incoming” etc

So if the little jeep cars have aa cannons and rocket pods, what is the point of the wildcat?

Like I actually don’t understand how that works

First the red flashing missile that has no lock on warning kills me

Then I get killed by the far left car spawn which apparently now has an AA turret mounted to it

Like

What

[remote kiln]

soflams dont have designators for when its tracking you, if you get tracked by one and someone fires a missile, it can be via guided on the tank/ground lockon etc and you wont be notified

[low timber]

G-84 is a handheld TV missile
Ram has a seat with AT and AA missiles, But those range is only 200m I think.

[pine roost]

one thing I will never understand is how the rockets on the attack heli determine where they shoot

it seems completely random, sometimes they shoot at the crosshair and sometimes they just flail off

[formal imp]

It was a mistake to add bombs

Stealth helicopter bombs

[sharp marten]

You gotta turn the parking break on for them not it flip

[winter birch]

3070 with everything on low and the game is still stuttering

[pine roost]

lemme just turn off gravity real quick

[blissful pond]

Figured out what killed me and why I decided to not use helicopters in the first place. There’s an operator with player guided missiles that don’t get warnings. Bruh

And my progress towards unlocking her is 1/3 missile vehicle kills. Bruh

[solid imp]

Falck looks like she has something to say about this

[lone void]

Falck's aim is as good as mine judging by that gun

[pine roost]

pretty sure you do get a missile warning with her

in fact you can see the rocket as a ui element

[lone void]

You can hear them coming they have a unique sound effect as they fly

[solid imp]

You can also shoot them down if it's screaming G84 coming at you

It's the only projectile anyone other than Irish can shoot down

[pine roost]

in a heli that's pretty tough though

[lone void]

I discovered that by accident

[pine roost]

better to find cover or just move perpendicular to it

[fiery sluice]

[solid imp]

I've gone up against some good hind gunners that don't even let you get close.. but most of the time yea people don't even try

[blissful pond]

Yes but this is the first time I’ve ever dealt with her, so I thought if I flare it would just stop

[solid imp]

Fair

Make the screaming missiles go away!

[junior pike]

👆

[pine roost]

fair enough

[junior pike]

☝️

[still vault]

I'll listen when she holds a weapon correctly 😄

[remote kiln]

yeah theyre TGMs

[wise zodiac]

She's saying "My wrist is through the grip. This hurts."

[patent path]

she's a doctor, she should know how to fix that

[blissful pond]

So it turns out that those recon drones from that one operator count towards the vehicle kills with rockets

[dark crescent]

I guess the cause of the game crash may be that the game program code contains a logic bomb or an endless loop, which leads to the player's memory leak and video memory leak. It may be that the input data interacts with the back-end server to trigger a blocking fault similar to a DDoS attack.

[calm bison]

No it’s obviously because of a helmet! /s

[dark crescent]

but they remove the Dust shield still crash

[grizzled whale]

@next onyx p90 good

[next onyx]

Yes.

As a small joke. Would be funny if the p90 and p50 had armour piercing rounds to disregard armour LOL.

[low timber]

84 kills to T1 VCAR.

But my fucking controller is dying, today now twice it has “lost connection” but the last inputs are stuck so if I’m moving forwards I keep on moving until it “connects” again.
Only happened in 2042 though.

[willow sky]

sounds like it was painful

[calm bison]

Honestly I don’t get the whole problem with guns like the ACWR and VCAR

Both guns feel awesome to handle

And the VCAR is a little spam fire gun

[next onyx]

VCAR is actually good.

ACWR isn't.

[calm bison]

I don’t know what you’re talking about

The gun feels fantastic

[kindred flint]

rip your trigger finger

[low timber]

What mastery do you have

[next onyx]

Still haven't touched it.

I'm kinda giving the game a break for now.

[low timber]

Ooh, pass tier 99

[next onyx]

10K M5a3 burned me out.

I just need to relax and do what I want.

[low timber]

My VCAR is Mastery 37 and 13/30

[kindred flint]

vcar is good but you havent used it?

[next onyx]

It was really bad at first.

I want to give it a go but I have little patience for semis.

[low timber]

And I challenged Way to T1 it

[worthy elbow]

Semi autos kill my tendonitis when I use them too long

[mild coral]

ik wrong chat but anyone wanna play ? I'm looking for a heli driver

[drowsy shuttle]

603 kills with ghostmaker... another 597 to go. most fun weapon in the game.... by a mile.

[worthy elbow]

Just got hit with the slomo bug 😢

[mild coral]

same, right after the start of the game

Hello

[spare quest]

ok

[fiery sluice]

hi

[chilly jacinth]

ih

[mild coral]

@spare quest no one is responding anywhere else

i did send messages too

[spare quest]

well you gotta wait

[mild coral]

bah me tag pas bouffon

[spare quest]

what

[slate meadow]

She saw the marks on my shoulder .....

[spare quest]

oh hi mark

[calm bison]

I did not hit her

[silk surge]

I just realized that 2042's UI is literally designed with tiktok video format in mind. The killfeed/ribbons/weekly mission complete etc are perfectly positioned when using that resolution.

[spare quest]

he did naht

[silk surge]

Just look at how my vehicle health and the killfeed are positioned in a way to make the most of the screen resolution. https://youtube.com/shorts/eBed8hvqzFw?feature=share

What do you guys think? It really looks like the UI was specifically designed to be short clip compatible 😨

[edgy oriole]

where else would they put it

[silk surge]

I'm not saying that it's a bad thing. Just interesting...

[edgy oriole]

im not saying its a bad thing either. I just dont think it would look good anywhere else on the screen is what im saying.

tik tok formate did change the game tho. thats why everyone copying them.

i say that from other social media copying them. ive never used tik tok or even seen what it looks like on mobile

[silk surge]

Never used tik tok either tbh, but Youtube shorts is basically the same thing, and tiktok ultimately is the origin of that format 😅

[elder patrol]

Spaghetti

[spare quest]

[elder patrol]

Nice hat cutie

[thorn helm]

brah MllW has a Greek Girl operator

[hallow sierra]

[spare quest]

so what

[thorn helm]

gee I hope BF2042 adds emblem patches

[thorn helm]

🐣

[spare quest]

is that your birb in the avatar

[hallow sierra]

getting sundance t1 is still a pain

[pallid mica]

how do i get lis?

[spare quest]

she's locked? lul

[pallid mica]

you cant get her anymore?

[ancient peak]

Scroll over her in collection. You should have a set of challenges to complete

[pallid mica]

ok thank you. thought retroactive season 1 battle pass reward meant you got it only in the s1 battlepass

[ancient peak]

Retroactive means you can get it after season one

So all the guns, vehicles, and operators

[eager spire]

Nothing else because despite clearly having the technology to do so, they won’t make everything retroactive.

[lunar finch]

Why would everything be retroactive?

Only certain things should be

[eager spire]

Why not. It’s clearly possible to do so

[lunar finch]

Its possible but no

Especially BP items, no cosmetics should be retroactive if they are in the bp

[eager spire]

Why not

[lunar finch]

Because the bp is supposed to be limited time

Being able to get it after the bp is over would be dumb and ruin the exclusivity of the items

[eager spire]

Why would that be a bad thing.

[lunar finch]

Because people enjoy having limited or exclusive things

Cosmetics are nice when not everyone in the entire game has it

[eager spire]

People enjoy having things in general. I think it would be good to allow players to get more things.

Especially when it’s entirely possible to do so.

[lunar finch]

Its possible but they wont do it and I completely understand why

I cant thing of any game with a bp system that let's u continue it after its over

[eager spire]

I don’t. I think it’s a waste of effort, making things that eventually people won’t be able to get and use.

[eager spire]

Halo MCC

[lunar finch]

Ohh yeah that game exist

[eager spire]

besides. It’s clearly possible to do so.

[lunar finch]

Well the games that use retroactive bp system are dead

[lunar finch]

No one said it waant

[calm bison]

The M1911 is proof that .45 ACP is better than 9mm

I want to kill my enemy

Not tickle them

But even if you enjoy 9mm

That’s fine

As long as you don’t like .40 S&W

[eager spire]

What about 10mm

[calm bison]

10mm fine

[spare quest]

thats what she said

[eager spire]

What’s the problem with 40 S&W then if 10mm is fine

[calm bison]

10mm is basically .45 ACP but a little smaller

[calm bison]

Because it’s a stupid caliber

Also Badger said so

[eager spire]

Badger?

[calm bison]

Russian Badger

[stiff pollen]

Oh that moron

[calm bison]

[eager spire]

I don’t exactly take that guys opinions on firearms to heart.

[ancient peak]

Russian Badger

Lol. Lmao.

[eager spire]

He’s a comedy YouTuber.

[spare quest]

he used to make good videos

[stiff pollen]

He called me several slurs in his server 🤨

[eager spire]

Christ.

[calm bison]

Doesn’t sound like Badger

You sure it wasn’t someone else

[calm bison]

Still does

[stiff pollen]

Considering I was in his server from 2016-2019

Yup was him

His mods are assholes too, only good ones are grouse and heavenly

[calm bison]

Grouse is cool

[spare quest]

discord mod moment

[calm bison]

Respectable man from Iowa

I got banned from Bagel’s discord

But I’ve been in Tuxbird’s discord for longer

Tux’s server is cool

[spare quest]

whos bagel

[stiff pollen]

I’ve been banned cause I called him out for calling people slurs

Bagel:badger

[calm bison]

Badger does this thing where he misspells his name at the end of videos

[stiff pollen]

Tux is alright I don’t watch siege YouTubers besides uhhhh

Matimio

[spare quest]

oh

[eager spire]

He sounds like a dickhead.

[spare quest]

what about bikininodhi

does he still makes good videos

[calm bison]

You have to watch his content before you make an opinion

[stiff pollen]

I don’t play siege so no point watching

[calm bison]

The dude stopped playing Siege back in like 2020

Tux took a little longer

He stopped in like 2021

He mostly posts Tarkov content I think

Badger went into other communities like Battlefront and World of Tanks

The dude just plays what he likes

The real Chad here

Is Martincitopants

[eager spire]

Never heard of him

[calm bison]

He made a BF4 tactic tier list

And a 2042 one

[eager spire]

I don’t care

[spare quest]

That’s rough Buddy

Waiting on My Summer Car part 3

That game honestly looks fun

[spare quest]

i wish he would do the same for 2042

[calm bison]

He did tho

[spare quest]

oh

[calm bison]

https://youtu.be/zBbgXFvLceA

Also My Summer Car is $15 on Steam

Top tier review for it said

Died to a bee

Honestly I’d like to visit Ireland

It sounds nice

[spare quest]

I love the irish accent

[calm bison]

I also would like to plant a car bomb myself

[spare quest]

idk why

uhh

[lunar finch]

😦

[edgy oriole]

now that the queen is dead ireland should retake northern ireland.

[spare quest]

yes

[edgy oriole]

and canada should break away from england

[calm bison]

Fuck England

[dark stirrup]

WHY CAN'T I BUY BATTLEFIELD COINS

[edgy oriole]

theyll call it the war of freedom

[calm bison]

Not enough money for chicken nuggets?

[spare quest]

ingerlund

[dark stirrup]

@calm bison can't even click to buy it

[formal imp]

Is there any information on what weapons each class will be ‘proficient’ in?

[spare quest]

what

[edgy oriole]

they arent separating weapons if thats what your asking.

[solid imp]

We have some hint at Assault=AR and Recon=Sniper but that's it

Recons are known for using Sniper Rifles on the Battlefield, and their proficiency when wielding this weapon type outperforms for example an Assault, who are skilled at using Assault Rifles. While Recons will still have access to all weapons in this new system, they’ll now benefit from wielding Sniper Rifles by automatically holding breath for much longer while ADS.

[woven acorn]

ive noticed that customising my weapon mid game causes a freeze. odd

[formal imp]

Alright thanks

[ivory canopy]

Will the breath holding mechanic apply to all weapons when ADS and not just sniper rifles? Kinda curious because a lot of automatic rifles have long range scopes.

[solid imp]

I imagine the weapon categpry not the scope but we'll see

[hallow sierra]

i still cant get the joke mackey is trying to say

[ivory canopy]

Then ig support classes have the advantage of increased accuracy in automatic fire, which is most beneficial on LMGs

Give assault classes quicker ADS and then engi classes have better hipfire

Just thoughts, idk

[eager spire]

i feel like that would be unbalanced as fuck

[ivory canopy]

It does have the potential for unbalance tbh

[hallow sierra]

yeah when we have guns like the avancys

[ivory canopy]

If they do it too extreme

Well the Avan needs a nerf from its current state; that's a given

[hallow sierra]

it wasnt a nerf

[ivory canopy]

I wasn't talking about current weapon balance, let alone the Avancys being OP as it is now.

[ivory rampart]

so the free helmet isnt the reason game keeps freezing? I almost felt too bad for claiming something for free

[stiff pollen]

Give support a giant grenade launcher that lobs nukes if they use LMG’s

Oh and engineer gets faster reload for SMG’s to balance

[limpid pond]

Welp tryna figure out what pistol I should try to hit leaderboard with

The g57 or mp28

[thorn helm]

does pc support wireless ps5?

[hallow sierra]

no

[still vault]

there we go

[edgy oriole]

must be nice being able to play the game

[still vault]

probably crashes on average every 2 hours

[hallow sierra]

ik dat feeling when being a console gamer

also

i get 2 kd now

[kindred flint]

this is why you only play 1 game at a time..or once a day

[still vault]

season badge only 51 points behind reality

[dim glade]

I got 60$ on steam and a friend has battlefield but idk If I should get it

[edgy oriole]

not for 60. only get it ~30

[dim glade]

30?

[edgy oriole]

and i wouldnt get it right now either bc its broke af

itll just turn you off from bf

[hallow sierra]

cause we live in a society where every game is bad now

[edgy oriole]

yes it goes for 30 pretty regularly

[hallow sierra]

wait its $30 now

[dim glade]

On steam?

[edgy oriole]

idk 2042 sale history on steam tbh

but on epic/EA it does.

[dim glade]

I only got steam money tho

Eh, I got it

[edgy oriole]

this is the lowest it was and i wanna say that was when szn 2 dropped. itll be around that price in a couple weeks i think

dont be mad when it freezes on you is all i gotta say

[dim glade]

Ok

[kindred flint]

buy mw2 and have that freeze on you instead

[edgy oriole]

mw22 having freezing problems too? i heard there was a couple crashes happening

[kindred flint]

was reading something earlier about there being some "issues" because launching a aaa title in current year with out some faults is the norm

[quiet shell]

Its crazy how one player with a smoke UBGL, Smoke launcher and smoke grenades can create enough concealment to keep up the momentum of breakthrough as attackers. Especially since one run through of player clusters can resupply all those smokes

Like I literally won 3 breakthroughs in a row with just a smoke build as the attacker

[edgy oriole]

getting smoked as an attacker sucks too. you can stop pushes with some well placed smokes.

[quiet shell]

True it also probably depends on where smoke is placed

[kindred flint]

right in the face of the enemy

killing them with a rifle smoke nade

[outer oasis]

Alguém joga battlefield 4 ?

[kindred flint]

ayyy frozen game...first time playing today after 5 mins, love it

[stiff pollen]

you can get a copy of bf2042 for even cheaper

i seen copies for like 9 bucks

[hexed mango]

mw2 crashed 5 times last night

yet i can say thats ok cause it just came out, for 2042 tho, its been too long to have that happening

[kindred flint]

i mean....what happens when mw2 inevitably fixes the crashing issue ...then a couple updates down the road crashes start happening again

2042 wasnt fucked for me before this most recent update...so not like i can sit here and say last november the game was crashing on me ree

[edgy oriole]

you know what. now that you bring that up. they just wanted to bring back the release experience for the 1 year anniversary.

[still vault]

Just do as gamers do, go to their Discord, threaten the devs, reviewbomb it then announce it everywhere as a dead game, then move on to the next one!
(jk ofc. - don't do any of that)

[edgy oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/buzz-lightyear-gif-25531445

[kindred flint]

...you say that as people have abandoned the game for mw2 anyways

[eager spire]

I'm already banned from the CoD discord so i can't really say anything over there. Not for threatening the devs, but because the head admin had problems with me.

[granite island]

Same

All because I posted a image of a gun from campaign

[kindred flint]

damn that sounds worse than the battlefield server

[edgy oriole]

with how cod game chat is. ill never touch that discord.

[kindred flint]

was it the guccied out shotgun from vanguard?

[granite island]

No it was from mw22

Early access

[kindred flint]

oh so a recent banning nice

[eager spire]

my ban was a few years ago

[kindred flint]

...was it the gucci ak?

[eager spire]

i tried appealing it, they didn't wanna unban me.

[kindred flint]

the one that gave Johnathan from the royal armory museum ptsd in todays gamespot episode

[granite island]

Ngl I would make a another account

So I can gain information and leaks about the new cod

But I'm too lazy

Anyways

[edgy oriole]

this is honestly the best game discord ive been in hands down.

most active one ive been in atleast

[granite island]

Why does the hovercraft

[edgy oriole]

splatoon discord is chill too.

[granite island]

Push the tank

Like the moment a hover craft touches a tank

It just pushes it away like the tank is made of air

[kindred flint]

why does the jeep float every time you touch a mild bump in the road?

gravity isnt a thing in 2042

[eager spire]

I'm in a few game discords, mainly for updates, this is the only one i regularly talk in.

[still vault]

and how did it drive up builldings? The hovercraft is magic.

[edgy oriole]

jeep slams back to the ground too hard for me. i prefer hovercraft.

[granite island]

I wish I could fly with the hovercraft

It was a fun bug

I can't tell if I'm unlucky or lucky with the tornadoes on orbital

Every match there's a tornado

It's almost like they increased the spawn rate of one

[kindred flint]

starting a game of stranded the other week with 2 tornadoes going left to right was interesting..

[arctic grove]

lucky

[granite island]

What's better than 1 tornado

2 tornadoes!

[arctic grove]

yup

[granite island]

Now give me 3 mini tornadoes for hourglass rework

[still vault]

I hope they turn them into sharknados for Halloween

[silk surge]

Always love ending up as the gunner for an ace Condor pilot.

Turns out that Condor is pretty strong if the pilot knows what they're doing.

[civic lodge]

Is there a place I can go to get help

This message keeps coming up whenever I open bf2042 on Xbox

[upbeat rover]

Very interesting 🤔

[civic lodge]

I can play the game just fine

[upbeat rover]

What's the message?

[civic lodge]

But whenever I open it, go to my settings, change my load out, the message pops up

[civic lodge]

Hold up

its Colone
Your Xbox is out of space for saved data. To make room, select a game or app from My games & apps, press the Menu button on you controller, and then select Manage game and add-ons. (0x80830003)

That

I didn’t that bs but it does nothing

I uninstalled my game

And re installed it

And still nothing

[upbeat rover]

That's a memory problem not the 2042

[civic lodge]

O

[upbeat rover]

Lol

[edgy oriole]

googled it and first thing says something about the cloud

[civic lodge]

It only happends with 2042 🤷🏼

[upbeat rover]

You don't have enough space to make more saved data for the game

[civic lodge]

I do tho lol

I have 36 gigs free

[upbeat rover]

Hmmm skill issue?

I'm joking

[civic lodge]

U prolly right

[upbeat rover]

I really don't know I play on PlayStation

[civic lodge]

Dang

It says I have 4 gigs of reserved space

I try clearing it

But does nothing

[silk surge]

Uhm.. I started converting my 2042 clips into Youtube Shorts and they recieved way more traction. I went from 40 subscribers to 94 in an hour...

[willow bone]

good for you

[silk surge]

Thanks

[arctic grove]

All my condor pilots have just crashed into things

[proven pendant]

any pointers on how to get the game running better on an amd cpui

[edgy oriole]

what you got

[proven pendant]

well...

doing some testing

on the deck

[edgy oriole]

[wide shore]

Shorts do insanely well due to the algorithm. But apparently the CPM on them sucks

[proven pendant]

so far id say the game is playable but i want to squeeeeeeeze out as much as i can

its fun :)

[mental cave]

[proven pendant]

but nah fr, saw some old vids talking about entering bios and stuff

tho i dont know if its outdated

[proven pendant]

can a man not have fun tinkering with a niche product on a supposedly unoptimized game?!

https://tenor.com/view/garetnis-gif-26054081

[mental cave]

🤔

[proven pendant]

society

[mental cave]

i didnt say anything lol

[proven pendant]

i know lol

but fr if anybody got any tips and tricks send em my way

honestly so far its been pushing between 30 and 40 fps running on windows 10 from an external ssd going through the dock

[mental cave]

wait

you’re getting 40fps?

[proven pendant]

yeah

[mental cave]

whats ur specs

[proven pendant]

as i said

testing it on the steam deck

[mental cave]

ohhhh

[proven pendant]

for the fun of it

[spring matrix]

they should really add this game to ea play so we get it more populated game is getting better with time but lack of groups on xbox sucks.

[mental cave]

30-40 is pretty good then lol

[proven pendant]

i know

i find it really cool

steam deck can push ACV all high to a constant 30 fps on steamOS

the decks MAIN hardware issue is its CPU

which is why i wanna test it on 2042

since the game is quite CPU intensive

[hexed mango]

imagine getting any fps

[mental cave]

just play on console

im not gonna pay for the pc version until it goes on a big sale again

[edgy oriole]

itll go on sale when szn 3 drops

i wouldnt be surprised if it goes to ea play

[mental cave]

id prefer ea play

[arctic grove]

Love how half the server is playing mw2

Including ea staff

[mental cave]

i already pay for the game pass so might as well

[edgy oriole]

i see 1 EA staff playing mw22

[mental cave]

im playing it rn

sitting in the menu

[arctic grove]

Does it have to be 10?

[edgy oriole]

and 1 creator

[remote kiln]

why does it matter what game people play

[edgy oriole]

so 2 = half the server

[arctic grove]

Look harder

[edgy oriole]

idk how man

[mental cave]

id imagine atleast 80% of this server plays cod too

its not that crazy

if you like shooters you play cod

🤣

[arctic grove]

Yeah lol

Grew up on cod and still play the ones that seem interesting to me, mostly the modern warfare series tho

[proven pendant]

if anyones got any tricks up their sleeves on cranking out any extra fps from AMD CPUs hit me up

[edgy oriole]

idk if you can get anymore out of the steam deck than youre getting rn

[mental cave]

dont they benefit from undervolting

or is that AMD GPUs

[proven pendant]

well its all AMD

GPU and CPU

custom built with valve blah blah blah...

you get the gist

[mental cave]

just lower price stuff

gotta make the price competitive

its like $500 isnt it?

[proven pendant]

the deck?

[mental cave]

yea

[proven pendant]

uh

the one i got was 679 €

thats the 512 gb model

didnt wanna fuck with the ssd and crap so i put in the extra dosh

also fun fact

game used to run on SteamOS

[spare quest]

[proven pendant]

but just a few months ago it stopped working on SteamOS and Linux in general

tbh i fucking hate linux

so yeaaaaah....

No flex

Nah bro who’s the plug for ya free pass??

[arctic grove]

W brother

[queen trout]

Oh my bad ok

[strong rampart]

anyone know about the social menu glitching for some people?

[upbeat sand]

someone play 2042 in intel HD

[arctic grove]

[hushed nymph]

EA just needs to put together one amazing season of BF and battlefied will blow up again

[edgy oriole]

its too late. we in old game territory now

[slender isle]

Here’s to S3 lmao

Class and vehicle rework, new maps and weapons

Gonna be hype

[hushed nymph]

Never say never. I think it could be done if they're up to it. They need to start releasing out expansions like they did on BF4 and maybe even bring some of those classic maps back

[spare quest]

never

[slender isle]

Yeah, I mean they’re releasing stuff in the same kinda time frame so far. Just a less content lmao. Maybe if there’s a… second year

[hushed nymph]

Yeah at least it's a step in the right direction even if it's little by little. Hopefully they're setting up some of these seasons for a massive season update that will put battlefield on top again

Either way, still having a lot of fun playing the game in it's current state

Way more fun than MW2 😂😂😂

[slender isle]

There’s been a few drops of info on something big coming soon. Possible night map next season

If we get a London map I’ll defend the devs until I die lmao

[iron socket]

MW2 killing bf2042 rn look at steam numbers

[hushed nymph]

I'm excited to see the future state of the game. Feeling really good about it! A night map would be pretty cool

[hushed nymph]

I've seen it. It's also been getting review bombed, but not as bad as 2042 did when it first came out

Feel like CoD is always going to have more players either way just because of the name

[iron socket]

M8 we’re still crashing a year after launch I love bf but they’ve only slapped their fans weekly

[slender isle]

Dude it’s cod lmao. Not a single bf game has ever beaten cod in sales

[hushed nymph]

They can release the same game every year (basically what they already do) and people are still going to but it

buy*

[iron socket]

Bf2042 actually had a crazy amount of sales

Top 5 actually most bought in its year

[slender isle]

Still didn’t outsell mw19 or Cold War

It’s stupid to compare the 2 franchises

[arctic grove]

Crashes before update 2.2 weren’t that common even on PC

[slender isle]

Like they’re completely different other than they both have guns and you shoot people

[iron socket]

True but still a step backward

[hushed nymph]

CoD is like a name brand. Everyone wants an apple phone because everyone has apple. They can release the same phone every year and people will buy it because its apple . CoD is the same thing. Last couple of CoD games were really bad and people still bought/played it

[edgy oriole]

once people were surprised that 2042 didnt beat fifa i knew people didnt realize that battlefield isnt as big as they think it is.

[slender isle]

Ngl, orbital is like top tier bf map lmao. I’ll take a crash a week with a map that quality

[iron socket]

orbital is good yea, discarded is trash, break away is even worse, the rest suck

Stranded also dog water

Season 1 map was good tho

[granite island]

I hope they just make the ship bigger in discarded

[slender isle]

Best maps in the game are orbital, exposure, manifest, Kaleidoscope and renewal

[granite island]

Like stranded size

[iron socket]

It’s reasonable to compare two shooter games but let’s be honest this bf is not good

[upbeat sand]

orbital, exposure, manifest, renewal, kelidescope

[iron socket]

Season 3 promises with classes and specialists are promising tho

They should’ve had a water map with boats but no..

[granite island]

What if

[upbeat sand]

time limitations

[granite island]

They made a boat only map

Travel between carriers

Or something

[iron socket]

Remember when they said they were ahead of schedule?

[slender isle]

I don’t think I actually used boats in previous battlefield games besides ramming it into a shore line and jumping out

[upbeat sand]

i found boats in past games kinda annoying and not that fun

[iron socket]

Still a core memory especially when you rammed it into an enemy

[slender isle]

I’m just glad we don’t have an assault boat sitting 900m away with auto cannons

[upbeat sand]

i like the anti vehicle measurements the infantry has in 2042 cause im not getting LAV or little bired like in bf4

[iron socket]

Lol

[upbeat sand]

80-0

level 140

[granite island]

Dreadnaught 2.0 maybe

[iron socket]

I’m tier 100 on little bird I can promise you that at first ut was not infantry friendly

[upbeat sand]

has nsfw as emblem

[granite island]

Would be cool

[slender isle]

We’ve got to give it to DICE though. They’re doing more support on this game than they did with any of the previous games (like consistency wise) an challenge/shop update a week with content update every 3-4

[arctic grove]

Ehh

[granite island]

Let's hope they don't pull a battlefield V

[upbeat sand]

i would take 1 good map ever 3 months than a bunch of map iffy maps like bf4

[granite island]

Ngl I like the open spacious maps

[arctic grove]

They’re consistently adding skins but all 4 of these seasons is about as much maps as one Premium DLC. The guns are eh, not too bad not too good either

[granite island]

Except for breakaway

[upbeat sand]

premium was at its best in bf1

[arctic grove]

The actual content consistency has gone downhill since 1 for obvious reasons

[upbeat sand]

bf4's content was mainly clone guns and empty hills with nothing

[granite island]

Bf1 fire map in portal would be nice

[kindred flint]

tbh not outselling cold war just means there are a lot of stupid people who bought that game

[granite island]

Except remove the hill

Hills are nasty

[arctic grove]

People love to say 4 had clone guns, but you got to choose a gun you aesthetically liked and compete with it even against meta, when each gun is unique whatever doesn’t fill the meta quota usually sucks

[calm bison]

Which hill

Verdun had multiple hills

[granite island]

The big one

[calm bison]

You mean like where E was on Conquest?

[granite island]

Ye

[calm bison]

That’s fun tho

The bunkers there were really cool

D objective was also good

[spare quest]

E

[upbeat sand]

for me personally the recoil on everything felt the same (except the ar160) and the only difference i found was rpm

[calm bison]

Petition DICE to remove distance haze from BFV

[granite island]

D and e was painful for me

I literally could not go up the hill without being sniped

[slender isle]

I’d honestly rather take the free content than a premium system. Even if it’s less. Stick to the quality of content they’re pushing out and it’ll be good

[calm bison]

That’s just battlefield 1 in general

[upbeat sand]

stranded is fun unlike golmud

[calm bison]

Golmud sucks

[granite island]

Golmund is fun

Till it's not

[calm bison]

I really don’t get how people like it

[arctic grove]

Sure, but the games content isn’t as consistent as previous iterations

[slender isle]

What? An update every month with content?

[granite island]

All you do in golmund is don't let the enemy go past the middle

[calm bison]

So often I play games where it’s just 3200 ticket Fast vehicle respawn servers and they all suck

[granite island]

Or else you get spawn killed

[upbeat sand]

remove all vehicles
slightly more fun execpt the constant running

[arctic grove]

Guns, maps

[calm bison]

Portal and BF4 are proof that the battlefield community are a bunch of uncreative annoying shits

[slender isle]

But that’s was once every 3-5 months

[calm bison]

C’mon

Someone make a go kart track in portal

[granite island]

A map builder would be nice

Like the map builder in fortnite

[slender isle]

Consistency is they are putting out a good amount of content every month. Enough to put at least 50 hours in

Each update

[calm bison]

I would prefer something like Forge from Halo

[slender isle]

Too bad half the maps bf4 has were horrific

[upbeat sand]

people when halo infinite gets 2 3 laned maps :

people when 2042 gets 2 well recieved maps:

[kindred flint]

join new lobby
xbox player has hot mic
game wont start till X people join
cant mute hot mic
exit lobby

[calm bison]

Oh my god this

[arctic grove]

2042 is very consistent with its bug fixes and map reworks yes, if that’s what you mean by consistency I won’t disagree, but the actual rate of gameplay content is not as consistent

[calm bison]

BF4 maps are god awful

[remote kiln]

ehh

[calm bison]

Not all of them

Some are good

[remote kiln]

vanilla maps are questionable

[calm bison]

But most are terrible

[remote kiln]

dlc ones are some of the best in the series

[granite island]

I sorta like hourglass

[kindred flint]

yes but bf4 had a lot of maps

that means they are good!

[granite island]

For breakaway

[slender isle]

That’s what I meant lmao. I just like having “new” content to play with every month, rather than come back once every 4-5 months to try new content I have to pay for

[granite island]

All you have to do

[calm bison]

I’ll take 15 solid maps over 30 shit maps any day of the week

[granite island]

Is remove the snow mountain

[slender isle]

You mean the glacier?

[kindred flint]

this is not an average redditor take smh

[calm bison]

Hourglass suffers from the Renewal problem

No cover

[arctic grove]

Yeah I hear you, I’m talking about what actually makes the core of an FPS game though. That being maps and guns. Not bug fixes

[slender isle]

Lack of cover

[calm bison]

Put in some wrecked tanks and jets

[kindred flint]

what if dice took existing maps and like changed the time of day?? nah that would be crazy no studio would do it

[slender isle]

Well the game currently has 73 weapons and 15 maps

[remote kiln]

it wouldn't be enough

[calm bison]

A night version of Kaleidoscope would be fun

[slender isle]

So I think that’s a good amount

[calm bison]

It’s a start

[remote kiln]

hourglass will need to be physically changed the map is too big

[calm bison]

Remove B and place the stadium there

[edgy oriole]

guns means nothing to me bc there is gonna be a meta anyways. i need new scenery

[remote kiln]

most of the objective points center around clear lanes too

[granite island]

Damn

[slender isle]

Put the stadium to the north

[granite island]

I just realized I can't post images

[pine roost]

Mechanics over everything

[remote kiln]

half of the sand I imagine will be removed aswell

[calm bison]

Most fun parts of Hourglass
-stadium
-rooftops

[arctic grove]

The game “has” 70 guns, around 50 or so which are not playable half of the time you’re on the game, since they’re portal era locked and there is rarely portal servers running actual games in 1942, BF3 and BC2

[slender isle]

But… it’s still in the game

It’s a stupid thing to seperate the 2 sections

[pine roost]

Most of which were made by a different studio

[calm bison]

Give portal new maps

They don’t even need to be a new game

Just give new maps from 1942, BC2, and BF3

[granite island]

I can't tell if having a map picker would be a good or bad thing for 2042

[calm bison]

I vote for either seine crossing or Damavand peak

[slender isle]

You can technically play with every single gun in the game, and every single map. You’ve just gotta set it up that way in portal

[calm bison]

Bad thing

BF1 proves that map voting is terrible

[remote kiln]

hourglass is, ironically, more of a hazard zone map than it is conquest

[slender isle]

You’d just get the usual “golmund, zavod, Shanghai, locker” choices lmao

[upbeat sand]

I miss hazardzone

[granite island]

I still have not seen a tornado on hourglass

[hallow sierra]

its very rare

[upbeat sand]

I haven't gotten to play it since 0.1.1 patch

[slender isle]

It’s only got the sandstorm doesn’t it?

[calm bison]

Hourglass could benefit from multiple tornadoes and a longer sandstorm

[arctic grove]

Again, nobody really touches Portal unless it’s for XP farms or hardcore servers. Which tend to be in 2042 as well, the portal guns have all of their attachments unlocked automatically, whereas AOW guns are the only ones in the game with actual progression. Half of the time you won’t use the portal guns nor would you want to because their classic gunplay

[remote kiln]

they happen semi frequently

[calm bison]

Hourglass needs to have a longer sandstorm

It goes away too quickly

[slender isle]

But that is due to the play base not using it, not that the game doesn’t have the content

[remote kiln]

no it has tornadoes too

[upbeat sand]

Hourglass is the harmada of 2042

[calm bison]

BF1 had a problem with sandstorms because it was insufferable most of the time

[granite island]

Hourglass does Look nice when the buildings start glowing

[calm bison]

BFV sandstorms never happened

[arctic grove]

Never said the game doesn’t have the content, but the content worth using (and the content that is used) needs to have more there

[slender isle]

I have never seen it lmao

[granite island]

Bfv had snow storms

[calm bison]

Hourglass sandstorms are too brief

[granite island]

And I couldn't see shit in those snow storms

[upbeat sand]

Very rarely I think they are more common in the grand operations

[calm bison]

BFV had every storm

Snow storm

[arctic grove]

I honestly wish the vault weapons would have had the time taken to allow them to have skin and attachment progression added in with a different gunplay for AOW

[slender isle]

Well we get 13 guns a season. 2 reworks and a new map

[calm bison]

Sand storm

[calm bison]

Dust storm

Thunder storm

[upbeat sand]

THEY SHOULD OF LET US HOST GRAND OPERATION SERVERS

[slender isle]

That’s cool

[arctic grove]

So no matter how many vault guns they add, people mostly stick to the GOL and P90, a lot suck

[granite island]

Would be cool

[remote kiln]

I've definitely seen the storm more than the tornado, but both can appear at once, even if it's exceptionally rare

[calm bison]

The GOL I use because it’s just fun

It was also really good in BF4

But the moment they add the M98B I’m dropping it

[arctic grove]

Actual guns using the AOW gunplay in the past 2 seasons combined have only been introduced a total of 5 times so far

[upbeat sand]

The gol needs a bit of a damage nerf to be similar to the other snipers

[granite island]

They should add more debris to the tornado

[calm bison]

The tornado is more effective on Orbital now

[granite island]

Like add some more container's flying around it

[arctic grove]

I’ve been picked off a lot by the GOL honestly, but I wouldn’t bother to use the ARs or SMGs

[granite island]

And all types of stuff

[hexed mango]

begun, the clone wars have

[calm bison]

The tornado should leave a very large dirt path

[remote kiln]

meh I think it's fine tbh, now, 2 tornadoes appearing on stranded is something else

[granite island]

2 tornadoes on stranded is cool

[calm bison]

The problem is that the tornado isn’t very significant when it appears

[arctic grove]

They just got transferred over as they were instead of getting attachments, skins, and hell, if you really wanna do it, a new recoil pattern for AOW

[calm bison]

It’s just kinda there

And everyone goes around it

[granite island]

Now I'm scared whenever I see 2 tornadoes because I already know

[remote kiln]

it kinda depends on the map

[granite island]

That I'm going to be thrown off the point

[calm bison]

Orbital’s tornado is arguably the best

[granite island]

And it's going to be taken

[remote kiln]

on stranded it can more or less cut off vehicles entirely

[granite island]

I like renewal tornado

Because of the debris

Dirt path would be cool

[remote kiln]

also orientates towards the russian spawn which causes rotations with aircraft to be a bit of a nightmare

[slender isle]

The vault weapons are great idk what you mean? all of them are competitive besides the m1911 and maybe the aks74u. All the others can be used really well.

[arctic grove]

I’d appreciate the vault weapons a lot more if they were brought over supporting skins and 2042 attachments, but they’re just there as they are. Much more interested in guns actually meant for 2042

[remote kiln]

they've already said they won't do attachments or skin support

the models for the weapons are identical to the older games

[arctic grove]

Yeah I’m aware, so they’re very meh to me

[slender isle]

Thats your opinion I guess, I like them, M16 is actual god tier

[remote kiln]

what they could do is bring over the attachments for the older games.. but that causes way more issues than it solves

[arctic grove]

I’m not attacking your opinion, but your statement

[slender isle]

I think if they brought over at least an "unlockable" skin like t1 or whatever they would be fine

[arctic grove]

They could continue to tweak their recoil patterns and damage drop off and what not, but I like muh lasers

[slender isle]

or at least have the attachments they currently have been unlockable

[arctic grove]

Yeah, which would make me appreciate them a lot more as actual AOW content

[remote kiln]

in the vault weapons current state it's more or less impossible to add the current attachments without physically rebuilding the weapon from scratch

take some lose some I suppose

[arctic grove]

Yeah, they’re cool as they are, I just want my precious M18 at this point tho

And the M250

[slender isle]

That's fair, but the attachments they currently have should be unlockable rather than just be there. I believe they have said they are looking into skins but that they may not happen

[remote kiln]

skins are/will be much easier than attachments to integrate

mostly cause they already existed in the older games, so there's something to work from

[pine roost]

I thought they already brought that up in the initial dev blog

[arctic grove]

I only know according to BF Bulletin that it’s something they’re looking into

[remote kiln]

it's not too difficult to just change some colours around but monetisation for them is a non option

[slender isle]

T1 and the carbon series wouldn't be hard to implement. I think just skin mapping the already existing skins wouldn't be too hard either

rather than designing all new ones

[forest snow]

is there a fix for the freezing and crashing at mo?

[remote kiln]

it wouldn't be, assuming the models weren't different

[arctic grove]

Mechanically speaking this game for what it is is pretty good already. Except additional movement and other stuff which there’s a plausibility of getting

[remote kiln]

but them being entirely separate means you can't map between them

[slender isle]

I meant more they current universal skins

they shouldn't be hard to add since they're just a constant texture over the gun

[remote kiln]

even if it's universal it's still the same issue

those skins are physically different to the ones in 2042

[pine roost]

I’m just waiting for aircraft to get a qol pass an general update and I’m golden to play again

[slender isle]

so the 2042 universal skins would be hard to put on the vault weapons?

[pine roost]

I’m so glad we have screen centre bullet origins and decent spread again

[remote kiln]

in short terms yes

[pine roost]

Movement is alright but not bad in general

[slender isle]

damn, I thought it would've just been "insert replacment texture"

[remote kiln]

DICE are using different iterations of weapons across multiple games, meaning you can't map one skin to them all is the tldr

[arctic grove]

Hope we get a few more major mechanical and qol updates like 1.0 and 4.0 ngl

[remote kiln]

all those models will be separate and built different per game, it's not just a apply X texture thing

now what they could do to is bring over the universal skins from 4 and map them to the 4 weapons, but they wouldn't work for say the M16 etc

[slender isle]

But why not? cannot it not just be a texture replacement? they're universal skins, meaning it's just one constant texture on the gun. There wouldn't be clipping or anything on the vault weapons. So I don't see a problem really

[remote kiln]

no, gun models are 3D assets not just textures

there's a lot more involved and especially in regards to how they function, animations/weapon phasing etc are structurally different per game

the skins are wrappers around the models

[slender isle]

But why would that wrap change anything about the gun?

[remote kiln]

because there is no universal model design across the franchise

what you are asking for is impossible

different tools per game are used to design them

I know players see a gun and think oh that's it, in reality there's around 20 different people who put in modelling/animation/sound/recoil/etc etc to get it functioning

[slender isle]

But the guns that are already in AOW should be able to use the universal skins. I don't see a problem with replacing literally every texture on that gun with 1 single texture

[marble thistle]

I’m still playing battlefield 2042 over mw2

[remote kiln]

yes, because AOW guns, were built using the same tool

[pine roost]

I’ve tried to make a gun in blender after a year or so of experience and it’s tough

[slender isle]

But so were vault weapons right?

[remote kiln]

no

that's what I've been telling you

[pine roost]

My man hyper is an absolute legend

[slender isle]

Man that sucks lmao. I thought they built them from the ground up using the 2042 method

kinda weird they didn't

[remote kiln]

they aren't, they are physically ripped from the older games

[slender isle]

Wait really? they have different models, animations, texture maps and handling though

[remote kiln]

yes everything about them is taken from the older games, that's why they've been able to add them so quickly

and why attachments and skins are not possible (2042 ones)

also why we had issues with the M16 etc

[blissful pond]

I swear I can literally put my missile canister into the cockpit of a helicopter and empty it and it will do 2 damage, but their lmg will 3 hit me. Like what

[remote kiln]

what are you firing at a tank?

[pine roost]

I don’t see why it would make sense to rip them straight off. It would need new animations, textures, sounds as you said. And the poly count would be really low. I can’t imagine they’d do anything but build them from scratch

[blissful pond]

No. Literally other helicopters. My shit will hit, do fuck all, then I die instantly

[remote kiln]

it's a choice which is what the players wanted

[pine roost]

Do you have a clip

[remote kiln]

people wanted content quickly

can't have it both ways I'm afraid

[pine roost]

But this is portal stuff that’s already in the game

Made by ripple effect during development, that they are just opening up to be used

[remote kiln]

yeah, but if you go the other way round, you're looking at weeks for a weapon to be made

there'd be lucky for 2 or 3 to be added this far in if they were built from scratch

[remote kiln]

uhh if it's the stealth then the LMG will do more to you, it's designed to be anti aircraft

also rips through jets etc aswell

[pine roost]

And people

[remote kiln]

infantry too but you need to get low to the ground

easier just for the main flyer to bomb them

[pine roost]

I’m fairly sure the convergence is far enough away to make it viable enough to engage from a long ish distance

But it’s been a while since I touched the stealth. I just use the nightbird

Or did… before it broke

[remote kiln]

ehh it's not I suppose impossible, but they'd need to be standing still

damage dropoff at range with the LMG against infantry is quite big

[arctic grove]

Stealth’s made me appreciate that even if the helis still have flares I can lock on whenever I want

[kindred flint]

dude gets just over 50 kills before dying...wonder if it was in a t28 or AA...either way my team apparently couldnt kill him till the last 2 mins of the game

all good though...fool dropped to like 5th on his team and lost the match

[solar tinsel]

Damn people get so needy, I was flying a jet in breakthrough destroyed or disabled like 15 vehicles and they're still like "oh my God why can't you kill everything for us jets suck" 😂

Blame your problems on the jet I suppose, of course

[modest tundra]

I have an idea that might seem amazing

If I use enough variables and arrays, I may not only be able to bring the class system back in advance

Further, the story mode is not impossible

If you can add a judgment statement for the map in the rule editor

[devout flare]

a buddy of mine said its kinda dissapointing compared to MW 2019

[modest tundra]

It may be possible to play consecutive levels in the same experience

[devout flare]

that was peak Call of Duty honestly, funnest one of played in my adult life on PC

[slender isle]

Theres a portal mode with the proposed class system in 🙂

[modest tundra]

Yeah , I saw that portal experience, it was fun and made me want to do a similar one

[ivory canopy]

100 kills left to T1 badge with Ghostmaker

[slender isle]

I think someone also made a normal core bf3 on all maps gamemode

which was fun at launch

Funny how people complain no classes then don't play portal lmao

[modest tundra]

Maybe they simply don't know how interesting the portal is?lmao

Or think that the only use of the portal is the experience farm?

[violet meteor]

A helmet broke 2042

[slender isle]

So goofy lmao

[violet meteor]

I mean it is

[slender isle]

Oh you're talking about the mackay headgear

that's funny tbh

maybe someone had used a 12k texture which just crashed everything

But who cares lmao. I run the deathless headgear anyways

[fiery dawn]

that's kinda how I feel

[arctic grove]

because they wanna play 2042 guns and vehicles

fairly simple complaint

[slender isle]

You sure? cause I'll I've heard is for a bf3 remaster lmao

Easy fix for them wanting that is to be able to choose the era of player, weapon and vehicle separately in portal

[arctic grove]

thats an entirely different subject, people essentially want a better bf3/4 and thats what a lot of people thought 2042 was going to be pre-launch anyways

nobody expected them to literally erode the class system for the specialist system which had terrible balancing

i speak in past tense cause if it wasnt a problem dice would not be (finally) replacing it

[slender isle]

Well they didn't "erode" anything, they just removed the gadget and weapon restrictions and gave those roles from bfV different faces

[arctic grove]

yeah, that was eroding the class system

[slender isle]

I still don't see how anything in the previous game (class wise) was balanced at all

[arctic grove]

which put boundaries on what class could use which gadget

by making any specialist able to use any gadget

[slender isle]

That's not a balance thing, that's just a visibility thing (being able to tell what people have from a glance)

[arctic grove]

also V didnt invent the second part of this message, thats been a default with the class faction models for a long time

[arctic grove]

i hear what youre saying but by specialist system im not referring to getting rid of faction models

the actual specialist system allowed any gadget to be used by any specialist regardless of what their 'class' actually is

the specialist system both eroded class gadget and gun locks but also any form of consistency in the games US vs Russia theme since both sides are the same specialists shooting eachother

[slender isle]

I know, but the part I said was about how you could look at a sniper and know they didn't have a launcher. The specialist system changed that. No one would've complained (vehicle players at least) if launchers were the only locked gadget lmao

[arctic grove]

thats largely what it is, it unbalanced vehicle play since anyone could take out an FXAA or M5

which is a pretty big problem seeing as vehicles are a big part of a battlefield game

the rest i believe is up to consistency, if the spawn beacon worked as a recon gadget for how many of the past games, why would assault specialists, designed to have better mobility than others, be able to use them

it erodes a lot of teamwork factors when an assault specialist can use an ammo box which makes Angels role genuinely questionable for serious play

so no, the problem isnt just vehicle players and the launchers lol

to tell people to 'just play portal' for consistent teamplay and balance is weird when 2042 can just fix a system that doesnt work in AOW

anyways all i ask from bf2024/? is:

bring back ordinary class system with based faction models

[slender isle]

Locking weapons ain't the way to go though

[arctic grove]

supports should use LMGs and other heavy weapons, assaults should use SMGs and ARs, engies SMGs and shotguns, recons snipers

[slender isle]

But locking them doesn't help with balance at all

[arctic grove]

how not

[slender isle]

It'll just be everyone running Assault like how it's been for the past 15 years lmao

The system they are introducing is the best way to go about it from now on

gadget locks

with special perks for using certain weapons with certain weapons

without locking other weapons out of that class

[arctic grove]

engies for blowing up vehicles, recon for supporting team with enemy positions and spawn beacons, support with resupplying the assault players and suppression, assault for direct action

lol

[slender isle]

And you think it won't end up like bf4 or 1 where all that we saw were assault and recon players lmao

[arctic grove]

the classes have always had their distinct roles that appear in different ways, theyre very simple and need eachother for a team to win a game

[hearty flame]

all they are doing is introducing more variables for them to balance with the proficiency system
the only reason they arent locking weapons is because there arent enough

[arctic grove]

yeah im sure theyd re-lock weapons if there were tbh

[dark stirrup]

why does it say purchase canceled when I try to buy battlefield coins

[slender isle]

There are more weapons currently in 2042 main gamemode than bf1 at launch

So that's a stupid argument lmao

[arctic grove]

and look at bf1 endgame gun count

B)

[slender isle]

Yeah and look at 2042 end game lmoa

It'll be close to 100 weapons

[arctic grove]

you just compared 2042, about a year into its life with content, to bf1 at launch

[hearty flame]

laughable

look at what this game has a year into its life vs a game at launch lol

[slender isle]

And you'll compare previous games end of life cycles to a game mid life cycle

[arctic grove]

hes also been saying bf2042 has a lot of guns cause the portal ones included when most people do not run bf3, bc2 or 1942 servers

[slender isle]

Player issue, not content issue

[arctic grove]

so youll barely use them anyways, and even then the attachments are automatically unlocked so whats the point

[hearty flame]

imagine counting side mode content into main

[slender isle]

Oh, It's the main game mode for me, maybe because I have access to all 15 maps in the game and any form of balancing I can do myself lmao

[arctic grove]

even if end game 2042 has 100+ aow guns imagine how much will just be from portal

instead of new original guns like the M250, M18, etc

[slender isle]

Hold the same energy with bf4 guns lmao

Most of them are reskin bf3 guns

[arctic grove]

not really a fair comparison since its not like 4 is that much more in the future than 3

[slender isle]

But it is still a comparison lmao. Reused guns, reused maps

an entire DLC was just bf3 maps lmao

[arctic grove]

yes you can compare it if you want but that doesnt make it fair

[slender isle]

Why not?

Vault weapons are just remade bf3 weapons, so are most of bf4 weapons

portal has remade bf3 maps, so does bf4 lmao

so... I think it's a fair comparison

By the end of it's life cycle, we'll probably see 100+ guns in AOW, with more vehicles than bf4, around 20-25 maps (depending on whether we get 2 maps a season in year 2)

[arctic grove]

if we get a year 2

[slender isle]

50 of those weapons would be 2042 weapons, 50 of them would be vault weapons. which is fine with me

[hearty flame]

year 2 lol

[slender isle]

It's basically a given at this point. Why remodel entire maps or add vault weapons or change classes or do a vehicle rework if they aren't gonna give it a second year lmao

[arctic grove]

yes those numbers sound pretty good on paper. 50 aow guns sounds dope, but lets wait to see first

[arctic grove]

boin could explain that better than me

so ima let him answer

[hearty flame]

remodel maps because they are shit. add "classes" as a hail marry to get more players. vehicle rework because its what people have been screaming about since launch

[slender isle]

Sure, I would honestly love to hear a sound reason for it other than continued support

[hearty flame]

i doubt 2042 has the players or revenue for EA to even consider a year 2 from it

[slender isle]

But (and hear me out) most people are saying they are doing the bare minimum. The bare minimum is the BP content and a new map a season... that's it lmao.

[slender isle]

You'd be surprised

[hearty flame]

unless you have proof that 2042 is somehow meeting and exceeding expectations im gonna call bs

[slender isle]

Also, changing entire maps, plus reworking core mechanics in the game is pretty unheard of for most gaming companies. Especially on the scale and consistency we are getting the updates

[hearty flame]

its only unheard of because not many studios piss off their player base to such an extent

[slender isle]

EA being the greedy company they are wouldn't put work into a game they think is basically dead

[slender isle]

HAHAH as if that statement is true

MW2 is a fair example lmao

[arctic grove]

i mean even a major content update wasnt enough for V to get year 2 authorization

[hearty flame]

except they already did because they sold a y1

[slender isle]

Blame that on Covid as well as Battlefront 2

[slender isle]

But year 1 only includes the promised BP content and new maps

thats all that has been promised to the playerbase
