battlefield-2042

[grizzled blaze]

Number built 16 (10 test and 6 serial)

[atomic musk]

Oh ok

[grizzled blaze]

https://avia.pro/news/v-novosibirske-zamecheny-dva-novyh-istrebitelya-su-57

the fact the armata is even in the game is a bigger

[woven acorn]

whats NPPs?

[grizzled blaze]

nuclear power plant

[limpid pond]

I was gonna say that

Damn keyboard warrior

[grizzled blaze]

i have my keyboard set up to my brain

[limpid pond]

Ai

[idle lion]

I need to go through lazerpigs videos to find the one i remember aaaa

[grizzled blaze]

chornobyl is abbreviated to either ChNPP or ChAE

[woven acorn]

ah thanks, but why would you ever suggest other nuclear power plants when theres Chernobyl smh

[grizzled blaze]

well i mean you said some nation restarting

idk maybe im a nerd who cares about "da lore"

[dapper river]

probably the one about "shut up about the F-35 being bad you imbiciles"

[grizzled blaze]

but i want a flooded map more

[limpid pond]

Eh the radiation is enough to kill you. Not gonna be much nation restarting

We'd all have to wear lead suits

[woven acorn]

yeah, restarting chernobly because its iconic

[umbral vigil]

Breakaway looks totally different in that video

cool

[uncut bay]

well if they can add a super important research station in game and have it supposedly built on a tectonically active zone, then i'm sure they can find some excuse to make a chernobyl map

[limpid pond]

They're gonna make breakaway even better than it is

[grizzled blaze]

if the NPP didn't have all the radioactive material taken out of it i would've suggested that some group is raiding it to try to make a dirty bomb

don't do this irl btw

[umbral vigil]

Oz

[woven acorn]

I meant a nation restarting their nuclear production there because its already fucked so why not continue to irradiate it (trust me, im a scientist). Could have soldiers running around in hazmat suits it would be p epic

[atomic musk]

Even though chernobyl can’t be home to any humans atm, animals have managed to live there I think

[uncut bay]

there are some people living there too

[grizzled blaze]

chornobyl raion is fine

[uncut bay]

they never left

[grizzled blaze]

well

[umbral vigil]

Animals don't know any better

[grizzled blaze]

"fine"

[uncut bay]

not everywhere is death zone

[grizzled blaze]

the actual town of chornobyl is still lived in

prypiat itself was completely emptied

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl

[woven acorn]

we got an ex Chernobyl scientist in the chat

[grizzled blaze]

no i'm a soviet politician

[limpid pond]

Eh the idea is cool for sure. I think a great map would be infiltrating a actually city like kaleidoscope but more buildings

[grizzled blaze]

i was actually going to go to chornobyl soon™️ via young pioneer tours

was gonna go with a friend

but uh

cough

[woven acorn]

There's people who regularly sneak into prypiat and film it

[grizzled blaze]

well its not really sneaking

the govt doesnt give a shit

young pioneers and chernobyl-tour are both recognized

[woven acorn]

they have patrols though

[uncut bay]

i wanna visit some day

[grizzled blaze]

they don't really care

[woven acorn]

unless the videos i've seen stage the patrols lmao

[limpid pond]

If you ever watch the movie the tomorrow war I feel like if you went with that concept it could be a great map

[grizzled blaze]

it's the willy wonka "no stop come back" thing

[limpid pond]

Imagine battlefield did a starship troopers crossover

[uncut bay]

battlefield in space please

i want infinite warfare but battlefield

[limpid pond]

Nah not space but other planets

[grizzled blaze]

if you do get arrested then its bad but you can bribe your way out

[woven acorn]

eh, city maps have been done so many times in battlefield. I'm trying to think of environments they've yet to utilise

[grizzled blaze]

like i'm pretty certain they really don't care that much if young pioneers and chernobyl-tour.com are so open about it

[tame cobalt]

Fart your way out

[limpid pond]

Amazon rainforest

But it's not a good modern map

[grizzled blaze]

if anything getting into transnistria would be harder which is on the young pioneer tours thing

[woven acorn]

just give us the battlefront 3 we never got

[tame cobalt]

3.6 rontgen, not great not terrible

[grizzled blaze]

and they very subtly hint at the fact that getting you in there isn't super legal

[limpid pond]

Yes battlefront 3 would be the best selling game of the year

[radiant prism]

BASED

[woven acorn]

lmao

[tame cobalt]

True

[woven acorn]

but not EAs version

[grizzled blaze]

bf2 was really great by the time it got pulled

[limpid pond]

True only if it's Lucasfilms version

[grizzled blaze]

i wanna play as a robot pls dice

[woven acorn]

eas version?

[grizzled blaze]

yeah

[atomic musk]

There was this one video I saw of a game that looked like the battlefront we deserved for another game

[grizzled blaze]

by the time it got pulled it was REALLY good

[tame cobalt]

We need a far future battlefield at some point for the sake of variety at least

[limpid pond]

Eas bf2 was good at the end

[grizzled blaze]

2142 :)

[tame cobalt]

Further

2442

[glossy storm]

'All I wanted was a modern version of BF 3/4' MFs when I give them a modern version of BF 3/4 and they start complaining about the lack of innovation.

[atomic musk]

7152

[grizzled blaze]

the amazon would make sense

[limpid pond]

Now the game is dead with a measly 1000 players

[uncut bay]

you could have some fucking incredible maps with imaginative and creative designs. Not just a city, or a forest, or the slums. Think of breakaway, change the colors a bit, play with the landscape, rocks, add some man made structures with environmental story telling, and there you have the fucking perfect battlefield. Just don't try specialists again

[woven acorn]

it improved massively, but compared to what the franchise used to be under lucasfilm it was still piss poor and falling short on a lot of thing battlefront 2 (ps2) could do

[limpid pond]

And most of them play heros vs villans

[tame cobalt]

[mental delta]

They didn't tease the next map with a little 2 seconds sequence

[glossy storm]

Infinite Warfare campaign's a classic.

[grizzled blaze]

well yeah they cut the support

so there was no reason to be playing

[lilac dust]

did anyone piece together the number coordinates from the radios to see where the new map is located?

[limpid pond]

That's what I said

Starship troopers x battlefield

[tame cobalt]

Bf needs games like this between the boring grounded games

[grizzled blaze]

i can understand the idea behind specialists

like

this is hard to describe

[woven acorn]

especially with 2042s introduction talking about environmental collapse, I mean they've created a great setting for themseles but don't seem to be utilising it that much

[lilac dust]

Technically they did but it's just a hologram map view of it with very little to go off

[grizzled blaze]

but the idea of the specialists having specific gadgets while you're able to pick whatever side shit without classes

i like it

[atomic musk]

I don’t know why they would change that part of their franchise honestly

[mental delta]

It's in Sweden they said it in the video

[lilac dust]

No shit LOL I mean where in sweden

[atomic musk]

They should’ve stuck with the regular classes

[mental delta]

Yeah I was expecting a little teaser

[limpid pond]

Remember when we all thought exposure was gonna have a landslide effect that was different each time you played

[grizzled blaze]

so like if you make it that specific i think there isnt much of a reason not to have specialists at that point

[mental delta]

[uncut bay]

the first mission still amazes me, immediately putting you on the surface of europa where it's essentially a frozen desert. It's a seriously amazing setting that could also make for an incredible story

[grizzled blaze]

because instead of "medic"

you have

"medic with medic gun" "medic with ammo"

[tame cobalt]

Epic

[grizzled blaze]

honestly i legitimately thought aliens were gonna be the final villain

[lilac dust]

Who do you take me for? Someone that doesn't count the days hours and minutes to the next development update? BLASPHEMY

[shell ermine]

IW setting Battlefield (without jetpacks) would be awesome imo

[radiant prism]

Yes

I've been saying this for years

[grizzled blaze]

i hope we can get a chinese specialist

[atomic musk]

But I do have one question, do jets and helicopters have their own specialists?

[woven acorn]

but the cost is that you reduce the effectiveness of your squad. The limitations of the classes is what helped to force coordination. If you could see 2 people had chosen recon in your squad its probably not a good idea to do the same. now its a free for all. who knows what people are carrying now

[grizzled blaze]

that'd be fun

[mossy badge]

dont show this to DICE they will take it as an inspiration to make another flat map as shown in that level

[radiant prism]

No

[grizzled blaze]

i mean i guess?

i'm not disagreeing

[atomic musk]

Thank god

[tame cobalt]

I mean jetpack could be a selectable gadget

[shell ermine]

If it's like the jump pack from Star Wars Battlefront 2015 sure

[mental delta]

I am counting the days to the announcement about new maps coming to Portal byt I don't think it's gonna happen

[uncut bay]

the gaming industry is SERIOUSLY lacking high budget space games. We need more shooters set in space, more story games set in space, it's perfect. What better playground to throw all your ideas into than a futuristic space themed video game?

[lilac dust]

Escalation. Jetpacks confirmed. Escalating to space

[woven acorn]

its a given, its one of the main reasons why squad gameplay has completely fallen apart (not helped by the fact theres almost no squad options for the players)

[mossy badge]

callisto and dead space remake

[grizzled blaze]

ppl said "we dont want cod in the modern warfare settings anymore" and then IW went "here you go a space game with a super original take for cod (it's literally gundam without mechs)" and then ppl went "no thats too original"

the trailer is still one of the most disliked videos on youtube

[mental delta]

I never played both

[shell ermine]

The campaign for IW was legit amazing

[grizzled blaze]

but people routinely go off about how infinite warfare is one of the best cods and its so underappreciated

[shell ermine]

Way better than MW19 and MW2022

[grizzled blaze]

YEAH YOU MONGS YOU SHUT IT DOWN WHEN THE TRAILER FIRST CAME OUT

[atomic musk]

Jet troopers were awesome in Battlefront 2

[grizzled blaze]

no SHIT people didnt play it

[hearty flame]

IWs campaign had some cool ideas like the most wanted list but that amounted to nothing

[grizzled blaze]

fucking assclowns

[uncut bay]

modern and historical periods limit creativity, as we've seen time and time again. Yes you can make new mechanics and change how the game plays slightly, but there's always the limit of when the game is set. Put it in the future and the world is your oyster, make up designs, be like advanced warfare and infinite warfare, create ships, create fucking aliens and wacky looking planets. Play with stars and make us land on a fucking asteroid right next to the sun (thanks infinite warfare). There are endless possibilities and it saddens me that not many people see it that way

[mossy badge]

its not out yet crabs

[grizzled blaze]

hey i recognize that character

[tame cobalt]

sadly futuristic shooters became oversaturated in mid 2010s and it hasn't recovered ever since,

But at least there's the star wars fps from respawn coming

[shell ermine]

WW2 is still the best setting for Battlefield imo. Just so much to work with.

[grizzled blaze]

did it?

[prisma anvil]

[elder breach]

hey is anyone having a problem finding matches with players? for about 2 months ive only been able to find lobbies with 0 or 2-4 players. playing from EU

[mossy badge]

its a cute character right

[mental delta]

Ho that would explain why I've never seen a single video of gameplay about those games yeah

[prisma anvil]

good ol meru

[atomic musk]

BFV is my favorite out of all the games

[mossy badge]

its a cute character right

[grizzled blaze]

i was excited for the soviets just because the sudayev as-44 was basically a given

[atomic musk]

Both BF1 and BFV have awesome graphics

[grizzled blaze]

we could've gotten a not!AK47

[uncut bay]

i can't wait, i was watching the dev interviews and recaps for callisto protocol and the hype is through the roof. Survival horror that takes after dead space, and it's set on a moon prison? Absolutely fuck yes

[grizzled blaze]

just dont look up what she used to draw ^:)

[mossy badge]

there is gameplay for both of them

[prisma anvil]

platform? you've got crossplay turned on right?

[elder breach]

PC

[grizzled blaze]

https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/AS-44

[tame cobalt]

Yeah, cod released 3 futuristic shooters in a row and their community got so fed up that they got the whole internet to think futuristic shooters are cringe

[grizzled blaze]

uh

[mental delta]

[elder breach]

Oh you're so right that might be it

[grizzled blaze]

advanced warfare and infinite warfare

what was the other one

[mossy badge]

dude i only took a screenshot of that emoji from my friend

[shell ermine]

COD WW2 was actually really damn good too

[mossy badge]

[grizzled blaze]

oh yeah it was

[prisma anvil]

turn it on and check once

[tame cobalt]

black ops 3 and 4

[grizzled blaze]

the campaign was great too

[uncut bay]

at least there's also Boundary to look forward to, it's really promising and i'm still beating myself up over not getting to play the beta

[grizzled blaze]

ah ic

[tame cobalt]

so that's 4 actually

[mossy badge]

🙌 it looks soooo good tooo

[prisma anvil]

god i'm excited for that

[elder breach]

perfect thank you <3

[grizzled blaze]

i'd like a BFV-tier battlefield in the cold war

like 80s

[mental delta]

Calisto Protocol and Dead Space are in the same world ?

[grizzled blaze]

gimme a world in conflict FPS please

[tame cobalt]

But now the internet is finally getting an itch for some space shooters

[prisma anvil]

good luck out there, happy hunting

[royal swan]

Forgot how laggy, inconsistent, buggy, and terrible looking this game is

[hearty flame]

world in conflict is goat

[arctic grove]

Bros we getting 2 dead space games

[grizzled blaze]

callisto was meant to be in the PUBG universe

[arctic grove]

and im happy about it

[shell ermine]

I'd like late 50s Cold War

[uncut bay]

no, callisto protocol is somewhat of a spiritual successor. Basically taking everything dead space did right and expanding upon it

[shell ermine]

Or hear me out, alt history 1950 where WW2 didn't end.

[mossy badge]

callisto protocol
last of us part i remake
resident evil 4 remake
silent hill remake
dead space remake

[uncut bay]

https://tenor.com/view/callisto-protocol-thecallistoprotocol-callistoprotocol-game-gif-19934186

[grizzled blaze]

korea :^)

[prisma anvil]

dont forget the new silent hill in the works

[grizzled blaze]

korea would be great

like legitimately a ton of varied environments there

[shell ermine]

Maybe USUK vs Soviet Union if Patton got his way

[hearty flame]

horror fans be eating soon

[arctic grove]

Battlefield Korea

[mental delta]

Only horrific thing in PUBG is the graphics lad

[mossy badge]

yep
i will stop now already entered in other games section

[royal swan]

I'm on medium settings with a powerful PC and this game decides to be cyberpunk 2077 at launch

[grizzled blaze]

snow, cities with different layouts (pyongyang, seoul, busan, incheon)

mountains, fields

[uncut bay]

i love that they're not holding back on the horror and brutality of the game, and the way they said death is also a reward for the player (getting to see how your body gets torn to bits) just gets me unbelievably excited to play

[grizzled blaze]

inchon would fucking ROCK

[royal swan]

My new want is a better loading system

[lilac dust]

Wait I just released Battlefield 2042 will be One Year Old in 2 days 😳

[prisma anvil]

carbo's always watching us

[mental delta]

It looks good, I hope Dead Space remake won't be too expensive

[grizzled blaze]

it'd basically be the iwo jima map from BFV but with a city

[hearty flame]

finally gonna exit beta

[royal swan]

Fix the loading I don't want to get in a game where you didn't even load the enemies yet

[tame cobalt]

It will be $70

[mental delta]

[lilac dust]

Season 5 will be the full game release

[mossy badge]

every game will be 70$ crabs from 2023

[hearty flame]

dont think they ever confirmed s5. just more "content"

[grizzled blaze]

they could truncate inchon just a little bit

[mental delta]

🥲🥲🥲

[grizzled blaze]

you land at pohang and then march into the city

[mental delta]

Thanks for ruining my mood Dududu

[grizzled blaze]

fuck it'd be good

[lilac dust]

Season 200 confirmed

[mossy badge]

sorry crabs ❤️

[hearty flame]

just get a pc and sail the high seas lol

[prisma anvil]

or just jailbreak the console

[hearty flame]

2042 will keep running until 2042

[tame cobalt]

Sail deez

[uncut bay]

i wish the callisto protocol collector's edition was available in europe

only for americans

[mossy badge]

what is in collectors edition ?

[arctic grove]

im gonna convert my series x into a ps2/3 console

[lilac dust]

Then in 2042 we will have the release of Battlefield 2077 and Ryan Gosling along with Harrison ford will be the 2 new specialists at launch

[prisma anvil]

think about it, a game so gory and brutal, the japanese banned it

[tame cobalt]

Dead space remake and dead space reboot coming out at the same time

[uncut bay]

$260

[prisma anvil]

the japanese, who literally pioneer great horror, theyre taking it off

shit's boutta be good

[grizzled blaze]

racial slur spotted

[prisma anvil]

[mental delta]

You're forgiven my mate 🫂

[tame cobalt]

Guess i need 50k messages

[mental delta]

I remember the time where your pfp wasn't untidi guy

[tame cobalt]

Pog

[radiant prism]

I have 57k.

[mossy badge]

i dont think i have 50 k messages bro
i remember i just used to send blushing cat emoji everyday and suddenly i become regular

[prisma anvil]

[tame cobalt]

I don't

[radiant prism]

I don't understand why I haven't gotten regular back

[tame cobalt]

Oof

[lilac dust]

I can't believe levelcap made a video talking about the cut content of the game just 21 hours ago and now we know there's more after season 4.... That timing 🤣

[radiant prism]

I was regular forever and lost it for inactivity even though I was regularly active?

Idk

Its wack

[mental delta]

I don't remember your pfp but I guess you had another one

[tame cobalt]

Lel

[prisma anvil]

gonna load up ragnarok, pass it through an interface, bass boost it, just so i can blow out my eardrums as kratos says "BOYYY" once

[mossy badge]

you can ask them
i asked my regular and hess gave it to me

[grizzled blaze]

but yeah uh

BF2042

the mute i got, was deserved, i knew it would happen, but i had to make that joke, the opportunity was just too ripe to pass over

[mental delta]

Got warned and muted for excess of crabness, in other words I was basically being too crabby for the norms of this server

[prisma anvil]

dont spread your crabs to the server man

thats not pog

[mental delta]

I am sorry I won't do it again 🥲

[calm bison]

[mental delta]

And if I do I'll get banned anyway so...

[mental delta]

Yes ?

[calm bison]

[mossy badge]

you send sooo much crabs thats what you mean ?

[royal swan]

C2 on kaleidoscope is busted

Got 22 kills and one death

[radiant prism]

Damn nice

[royal swan]

Had a point were 6 enemies rushed me and my turret, let's say they all died stupidity

[radiant prism]

I managed 40+ kills with the F-35 on Hourglass BT recently

[mental delta]

Yes that's... that's what I did... exactly...

[radiant prism]

With the VTOL mode

[mental delta]

Yes (one more time) ?

[twin lintel]

Anyone playing 2042 through Epic Games store? I've been having to keep the Origin app open when I launch the game, but I just decided to check the new EA app today and it's finally showing that 2042 is purchased through the Epic store. However, when I try to launch the game with the new EA app (Origin is closed), the game starts to load, but then everything freezes and I eventually have to force close through task manager.

[cyan trout]

Think the EA app is still in beta.

[royal swan]

Bro yeah the exposure breakthrough map is ass

[mental cave]

everything made by EA is in beta

i got banned on apex for simply logging in

[radiant prism]

Idk I kinda like the breakthrough layout

Except for maybe the last sector

[fiery shoal]

this is why you buy ea games through origin

[radiant prism]

But I like this a lot more than the old one

I hated the first sector on the old layout

And didn't love the third sector

That being said the last sector on the new layout is a massive problem

C1 is damn near impossible to take it seems

[royal swan]

Just have the last sector be in it's original spot

[radiant prism]

I wouldn't mind that I guess? I don't love that building though

I would want it to be a two objective sector like the others though

[royal swan]

Then move it to the second building behind the first

[radiant prism]

I guess

Idk

exposure rework????

[turbid arrow]

Reworked breakaway looking spicy. Surprised to hear more is planned after S4 and not canned completely yet

[solid imp]

Reworked breakaway looks downright amazing

That rig moving way in and with a second main ingress is perfect

And the nothing burger areas turning into legitimate battlegrounds should be interesting

Instead of zones where you wish you grabbed a LAT

[low timber]

Somehow killed the enemy super hind pilot with the G-84.

[severe oyster]

hourglass needs the most work

[quiet shell]

A lot of people assumed DICE would do whatever they could within 4 seasons due to legal obligations and then drop 2042. DICE committing to 2042 after season 4 for a potential season 5 speaks volumes about how much they want to course correct with their fanbase and do things right

[severe oyster]

worst map in the entire game

[solid imp]

Just did that the other day to a hovercraft driver. It was perfect.

[severe oyster]

they need to add a blizzard

or snow storm

for snow map

[solid imp]

Yes

[low timber]

I’ve been killing the passengers a lot lately of LATV4 vehicles with the G-84

[solid imp]

Take the sandstorm particles and make them white. Done 🙂

[severe oyster]

like in giants of KARELIA

[solid imp]

And the sandstorm should be the permanent map condition

[low timber]

Which is a it annoying as then if I destroy it, it won’t count forwards the Lis Mastery

[solid imp]

Hourglass becomes twice as fun when the sandstorm is active

[severe oyster]

operation whiteout

did it right

wtf happened

we are in anartica

[eager spire]

Nobody that worked on BF4 worked on 2042. Hope that answers your question.

[balmy turtle]

you got to be quick enough on a vehicle that either had enemies jump out or die inside it

there's a small slot of time where you can still get the vehicle destroyed

when working on the m5 recoilless or lis

[low timber]

Sometimes I’ve destroyed a vehicle long abandoned and it still counted

[balmy turtle]

huh weird

[turbid arrow]

Yes this took me by surprise, since i also thought it would be abandonware after S4

[balmy turtle]

i like to target the two shot vehicles mostly cause if someone else shoots em first then it's easy to secure the kill after

[solid imp]

only way to get T1 done. such a grind.

[balmy turtle]

or getting a lis rocket on stealth choppers

[balmy turtle]

yeahhhh

dont even start on the jets

LOL

like if jets KILLS counted too

I'd be way further or maybe done

[solid imp]

oh I can't fly very well, I"m not bothering with most air vehicles

[balmy turtle]

so many multi kills I've gotten when destroying tanks and MAVS and stuff

[solid imp]

I can keep it in the air that's about it

so if the driver bails like a fool I can prevent our team from losing something valuable

but I hand it off to someone else usually 🙂

[balmy turtle]

I abused the hell out of the ATGMs with the jets in the early early days of the game

[turbid arrow]

It does, current breakaway is complete ass so happy to see its getting a serious rework

[balmy turtle]

was really easy to get like 10-15+ vehicles destroyed a match

but now they got nerfed and jets are much worse now

no splash damage or anti infantry options makes them borderline worthless

besides air superiority

attack choppers are only really good with a buddy in the gunner seat as well

[pine roost]

Just got sent a survey through email, go check to see if you have one too

[balmy turtle]

air gameplay has just been so underwhelming and it's so underutilized now it feels like

[fiery shoal]

well nice to hear content wont end after season 4

[balmy turtle]

true

[fiery shoal]

i think just about everyone expected them to ditch 2042 after the first pass

[balmy turtle]

yeahhh

glad to see that's not the case though

[deep heart]

If they made bf2042 with normal classes it would be 100% better

[balmy turtle]

well they're about to at least bring back classes to a degree so

I think that'll be nice

[fiery shoal]

classes =/= loadouts

[deep heart]

alr so you want to run as a christmas guy in a battlefield?

u want anime skins?

[fiery shoal]

that also has nothing to do with classes or loadouts either...

[deep heart]

yes it does

[balmy turtle]

how does that have any relevance at all

[fiery shoal]

no.. it doesnt

[balmy turtle]

no one said anything about skins

[deep heart]

the only way they used specialist was cause they could get money

[fiery shoal]

any previous bf could have a christmas skin in game regardless of how the classes and loadouts work..

[balmy turtle]

^

[fiery shoal]

yes.. to generate money for the free live service..

[deep heart]

they didnt tho

[fiery shoal]

you know.. you had to pay for maps and weapons before

[balmy turtle]

honestly I found the boris skin to be pretty funny if it only lasted during christmas and wasnt available after

[deep heart]

see what happened with that 0.0

[fiery shoal]

and you can say you would prefer that and thats fine, still doesnt disregard that we are getting free major content now

[balmy turtle]

it would've been real outta place after but i wouldnta minded it for just during christmas

[deep heart]

Playerbase isnt going to get higher

[solid imp]

I don't mind gimmicky skins from time to time, just makes a brighter target to aim at 🙂

[balmy turtle]

s3 will bring back some peeps

[fiery shoal]

it does every time a new season drops though

[eager spire]

Personally I don’t know why they’re continuing support for this. It has fundamental issues that they can’t fix. They’re already working on fixing them for the next game.

[balmy turtle]

lol

[deep heart]

3k people

sounds dead to me

[balmy turtle]

would be dumber to abandon support for it and take the massive hit

[fiery shoal]

i dont care either, but theres a oddly large group of "muh realism" in bf games

[foggy halo]

Omg they listened to my suggestion to make the game f2p

[solid imp]

yea somehow 'realism' got tied into BF at some point and that's just not right

[fiery shoal]

you know thats ONLY steam, 1/5 sources for the total players?

[pine roost]

For a few days

[balmy turtle]

I like how BF1 did things

[deep heart]

origin is the other one

[deep heart]

its 2 not 5

steam/origin

[balmy turtle]

not realistic per se but immersive enough to give you the feel of some semblance of realism

[fiery shoal]

origin, egs, steam, ps, and xbox...

[balmy turtle]

but it was still a casual game

[fiery shoal]

5...

counting is hard

[deep heart]

sure

[solid imp]

agree but realism isn't the same as immersion and some folks get lost in that difference /shrug

[eager spire]

I mean they were only obligated to do 4 seasons. With the issues this game has I feel it’s better to just let it go and make the next one better.

[balmy turtle]

yeahhh

[deep heart]

still dead game

[balmy turtle]

but how would that look if they abandoned a second game right after starting to redeem it

[fiery shoal]

i dont get the point in getting off on a game having a low player count..

[deep heart]

for a triple a company

[balmy turtle]

BFV got abandoned once they started making it good again

[fiery shoal]

it sucks some people might not be able to play a game they enjoy

[eager spire]

It can never be fully redeemed.

[deep heart]

they should have listened to the community at the start

to remove the specialist

[royal swan]

Huh I didn't get anything for doing the stranded Easter egg radio

[balmy turtle]

perhaps not, but something is better than nothing

[deep heart]

see what happened when they didnt listen

[fiery shoal]

xD

[royal swan]

I found all three and activate in the order they are required

Bullshit

[fiery shoal]

we got another low tier reddit meme take

[balmy turtle]

people paid for the game, they should at least get a lot more out of it in the long run since the initial start was so disappoiting

[fiery shoal]

is it time to pull out 2042 complaint bingo?

[balmy turtle]

^^

[solar minnow]

The latest update was great. I don’t know why people are complaining.

[eager spire]

And we got something. I want to see if they’ve actually learned anything from this, and are willing to make the next game better.

[solid imp]

I got a survey 29 minutes ago, they're still listening and asking for feedback 🙂

[balmy turtle]

like shit man the games got its problems but at least they ARE working on it

im able to have fun now

[deep heart]

hoped they would have done that in the start

[fiery shoal]

i dont care for 2042, i hardly play it anymore, but its weird how people seemingly get off when a game does bad.. like bro.. how lacking is your life that THIS is what makes you feel good?

[solar minnow]

Yeah this game is gonna have a great comeback.

[balmy turtle]

I went from having matches that just killed my mood for the game so badly to actually enjoying it quite a bit now

[solid imp]

They did pretty quickly

This is like the 4th survey

They each focused on a topic mostly like map design, specialists, etc

[deep heart]

I feelt scammed when i watched the bf2042 trailer and played the game

[fiery shoal]

theres the "scammed" comment

[solid imp]

-_-

[next onyx]

Wish I got a survey.

[balmy turtle]

well it's gonna be a while i think before another game so why not keep that one being worked on while they fix up this game

[next onyx]

Dudes having a rant holy shit

[solar minnow]

Really? I felt there was potential.

[eager spire]

Also, pre-production in post season 4 content that will probably be coming out in like 6 months.

[balmy turtle]

same

[toxic wigeon]

Ngl

[deep heart]

you telling me its not a scam? when they show mil-sim characters and then when game release its civilian type

[toxic wigeon]

I will defend the trailers

Because they are literally just cinematic

No gameplay

[balmy turtle]

it gave bf3-bf4 type vibes and hyped everyone up and then came no where close

the trailers are amazing

[toxic wigeon]

Not really lol

They showed the specialists

[fiery shoal]

100% not a scam, its as relative of a trailer to gameplay correlation as any other game

[deep heart]

cause they wanted that (extra money)

[toxic wigeon]

We just didn’t realize yet

[solar minnow]

Bruh they had a specialist trailer.

[balmy turtle]

just didnt well represent the actual game

[toxic wigeon]

Ye no shit

[fiery shoal]

what trailer does?

[solar minnow]

You knew what you were getting.

[toxic wigeon]

Cinematic trailers don’t

lol

They build hype

[fiery shoal]

anyone who feels scammed has only themselves to blame

[solar minnow]

TRUE

[fiery shoal]

there were trailers on trailers showing the game and its gameplay

specialists even got their own trailer

[solar minnow]

They did a good job at hiding bugs though lmao.

[fiery shoal]

if you bought the game and are complaining about specialists im sorry.. but thats absolutely your own fault

[deep heart]

i promise alot of people didnt want specialist

[fiery shoal]

original comment still stands

[eager spire]

I feel like even people who knew that they were getting in for in terms of specialists felt like they were scammed, due to the poor map design and abysmal release state.

[fiery shoal]

sure, complain about other bad aspects of 2042

but i wasnt talking about that

[solid imp]

You probably will, mass emails almost never deliver all at the same time

[eager spire]

Fair.

[next onyx]

Ye

[solar minnow]

I mean game went through covid restrictions and other issues so it’s understandable why it was broken at launch and dumb EA doesn’t care.

[next onyx]

I felt cheated because of the technical issues.

[pine roost]

Write 789 words where there was a 400 word limit

[deep heart]

and they still release it

[next onyx]

I couldn't play the game I wanted because I was too busy fighting the game and its bugs and the maps too.

[solar minnow]

Yeah cause they had already paid for marketing and everything.

[next onyx]

Ea forced them to release it

[fiery shoal]

basically all bf games release pretty rough, only bf1 and bfv had decent launches

[next onyx]

Bfh too!

[fiery shoal]

how anyone is surprised 2042 launch was also bad is... concerning

[pastel loom]

idk what to say about it
maybe i'll buy it in its end cycle, when the updates are truly finished

[eager spire]

The game was blatantly unfinished as was the version of Frostbite it was running on.

[fiery shoal]

bfv launch went bad a week later with the first patch too

[deep heart]

is Hazard zone dead?

[eager spire]

And people are surprised when the input issues are engine level and cannot be fixed.

[solar minnow]

I wasn’t surprised by the bad launch. The writing was on the wall

[next onyx]

I was surprised but not surprised.

[pine roost]

I regret pre ordering, I learnt from my mistakes

[next onyx]

It was so damn bad.

[deep heart]

Didnt they say before launch that the game is a head of its time or smh?

[dapper river]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/yri37o/my_team_worked_hard_on_this_double_xp

💀

[solar minnow]

I picked up the game when it was only 25 buckets back in December.

[eager spire]

They finally found the technology for double XP

[arctic grove]

Update is getting good

[dapper river]

had to do some digging to find the double xp system from BF4/BF1 lel

[fiery shoal]

dudes a checklist of standard complaints.. how long till he talks about scoreboard or voip...

[eager spire]

I mean they did say that.

[fiery shoal]

one random employee on twitter right?

[eager spire]

They did in fact say that.

[fiery shoal]

i also didnt say it was said..

[dapper river]

"nevermind the fact we've had a scoreboard since April, it should of been in at launch! I will NOT stop talking about it!!!!!"

[eager spire]

I mean the fact that it wasn’t in on launch is stupid.

[dapper river]

tru, but what's done is done 😔

[fiery shoal]

the fact people complained about it and voip is stupid

especially voip

absolutely no one uses it

[eager spire]

People complaining about no scoreboard on launch was stupid?

[fiery shoal]

sigh

[dapper river]

the shitfit over no VOIP was dumb, but I guess it makes sense for crossplay friends

[fiery shoal]

there was a scoreboard, just not the one people wanted

[dapper river]

you at least knew if your squad was #1 or not

[solar minnow]

People who didn’t see this disaster coming are living under a rock. Most veteran employees left after bfv and covid happen. It’s not that hard to realize why the game was like this.

[fiery shoal]

even if there was no scoreboard its weird to ask for one, what does it matter to see your rank, all you really need are to see your own personal stats

[eager spire]

Can you even pick a squad to change to in 2042 at the moment? Or does it still do the randomly assigned squad thing.

[pastel loom]

was it true that the game's concept
used to be a battleroyale?
i just want a yes or no

[fiery shoal]

no

[solar minnow]

No

[dapper river]

just a rumor, not confirmed. the evidence is there but it's all speculative

[eager spire]

Maybe.

[fiery shoal]

absolutely no proof of it at all

[eager spire]

Possibly.

[fiery shoal]

all you have to do is look at firestorms failing and EA already having apex to reasonably see that 2042 wouldnt be another BR

[royal swan]

Tom Henderson said something about it but he said Alot of stuff that didn't become true

[solar minnow]

Tom did that so he could be in the spot light again. He has no evidence to back up his claims but “sources” aka trust me bro.

[fiery shoal]

maybe there would also be BR, but imo its absolutely stupid to believe 2042 was going to be a BR ONLY title

[eager spire]

Can you even pick a squad to change to in 2042 at the moment? Or does it still do the randomly assigned squad thing.

[solar minnow]

Even in the leak trailer it doesn’t look like a battle royal.

[royal swan]

Tom is a fake, glad he stop data leaking battlefield after launch, now we got a trustworthy data leaker

[fiery shoal]

i like how people just blindly trusted toms word until he said 2042 was the 2nd best selling bf title in opening weeks..

[solar minnow]

Tom lost all his credibility after his bold claims.

[royal swan]

All my homies hate tom

[solar minnow]

He was milking the hype train.

[fiery shoal]

i hate the people blindly trusting him and treating his words as fact more than tom himself

sadly there are a lot of stupid people out there

[solar minnow]

He never had any evidence.

[royal swan]

Thank God we got temporal

[solar minnow]

Yeah, he’s pretty good at leaking.

[fiery shoal]

i dont follow leaks

personally i dont get the point in it

ill just wait till the actual product is here

[dapper river]

The "recent players" in the social tab used to only show recent squad members (like Apex), no scoreboard (because why would you need that in a BR?), ditto killfeed, no [ALL] chat because it's not needed for a BR, the specialists system seems ripped straight from Apex... Maybe the focus was supposed to be Hazard Zone before they pulled out and tried to make it a proper BF game too close to launch?

[pastel loom]

pure impatience ik

[fiery shoal]

none of those are proof though

[eager spire]

I notice leaks as they come across my view, I don’t actively seek them.

[fiery shoal]

just.. indications at best

[dapper river]

It feels like this game suffered a lack of vision throughout development and we're just now seeing more focused development ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fiery shoal]

i think covid, trying to do a meme take of "the bigger the better" and having too many hands in the kitchen on top of short dev time are likely the biggest problems for 2042

[solar minnow]

The game was just ambitious. They had a lot of ideas they wanted to capitalized on and not enough time plus covid took a chunk of development away.

[fiery shoal]

even if one of us were to 100% guess the reasons for 2042 sucking doesnt do anything so eh, i typically dont care to talk about it

[eager spire]

Also most of the dev team had only worked on BFV, and they were trying to do an upgrade on the Frostbite engine. I don’t know if this is true but I’ve heard that they had intended to spend a lot more time working on the engine.

[dapper river]

We will destroy all of Stockholm in Season 3, yes

[solar minnow]

I feel like they were trying to make battlefield 2042 for everyone.

[next onyx]

Honestly I would spend a good time on the engine if I were to upgrade it a considerable amount

[fiery shoal]

honestly surprised manifest is getting an update, thats one of my favorite maps. though them saying they are bringing the maps closer just sounds like a win

[solar minnow]

That’s what Markus is doing right now.

[next onyx]

The next game is reported to use an upgrade of this engine.

Which is of no surprise

But you know

[eager spire]

Yeah, so it’ll probably have the input issues fixed. Hopefully.

[next onyx]

To be fair like orbital it just needs a little adjustment.

[quiet shell]

So I saw an interesting theory regarding the post season 4 content on a different discord.
the post season 4 content could be weapons and vehicles that DICE had to cut to have the manpower to improve the game and it'll be a way for them to catch up on everything they worked on

[dapper river]

Cod sucked ass the previous year and Vanguard sucked ass that same year, even Halo was a major disappointment, they had a great opportunity to come in strong and they still fumbled 😔

[next onyx]

Really that's it.

[solid imp]

The source code for frostbite was stolen/leaked in June 2021, I'm sure that making emergency changes to the engine in the runup to launch added some complexity to the launch itself

[fiery shoal]

true, which if it makes a good map better im not gonna complain

just surprised

[next onyx]

Breakaway looks good.

It looks interesting

But I wonder how it'll run.

[solar minnow]

Manifest needed a rework. The cranes were annoying.

[next onyx]

Ugh the cranes.

People sitting up there all game.

[fiery shoal]

they removed the cranes

[next onyx]

Like GO AWAY.

[fiery shoal]

not all of them, but some

[next onyx]

There's still one there but not over the boat.

[eager spire]

Why not remove all the cranes.

[solar minnow]

The Easter eggs that came out today point towards a weapons factory.

[next onyx]

Which is good.

[fiery shoal]

breakaway 100% needed a rework and im liking what i see

[solar minnow]

They didn’t remove all the cranes but a majority of them are gone.

[fiery shoal]

why remove all the cranes...

[solar minnow]

I hate breakaway.

[next onyx]

Hopefully E is close or something.

[solar minnow]

Too much open ground.

[eager spire]

Because crane camping is annoying so removing it would only be a benefit to everyone @fiery shoal

[low timber]

Breakaway breakthrough is gonna be completely different as even the oil rig got completely moved

[dapper river]

New Rush layout on manifest too

[fiery shoal]

well obviously not everyone, especially the crane campers

[eager spire]

Well I don’t care about their opinions on anything

[solar minnow]

There has to be cranes cause it’s a shipping yard. Having no cranes wouldn’t make sense lol

[royal swan]

Yay no more crane campers

[dapper river]

I'm gonna miss that random neutral littlebird sitting out of bounds on Breakthrough, though

[next onyx]

Yeah that weirds me out.

It's this stock world spawned nightbird in out of bounds.

[fiery shoal]

ok.. doesnt mean "it would only benefit everyone" is a true statement just because you decide to not care about a group of people...

[eager spire]

it would benefit everyone that matters, that better?

[fiery shoal]

i wonder if removing some cranes actually makes it harder to counter them

less areas to travel up to kill them

[royal swan]

Wait when, there is just a random spawned nightbird in manifest

[next onyx]

Is BT.

In bt.

Sorry.

During bt there's a world spawned nightbird just sitting in out of bounds.

[solar minnow]

I wish they bring back 128 breakthrough.

[low timber]

Way you gonna T1 the XM8 LMG?

[arctic grove]

Angel after getting that W

[solid imp]

My crew uses that nightbird every single game 🙂

not me. I can't fly 😄 Others do

[fiery shoal]

so new infantry focused map and 2 updates

[solar minnow]

I wonder how powerful the rail gun tank will be.

[low timber]

2 updates?

[arctic grove]

Makes the older tanks useless to play

[fiery shoal]

2 map updates, manifest and breakaway

[next onyx]

If it's decent yeah. I had a lot of fun with it during rush of the ages.

It just felt right.

[solar minnow]

Just like how the stealth heli did.

[next onyx]

Low recoil alright damage good fire rate.

It's an assault rifle lmg.

[low timber]

3.0, 3.1 and 3.2
Swedish map, Manifest and Breakaway

[next onyx]

Now the question is. Will it get bf3 attachments. Or something.

[low timber]

No

Gol Magnum didn’t ether

[next onyx]

This sounds dumb but that is least affected by them.

It's functional

Than again the xm8 lmg was pretty functional when I used it.

[fierce gull]

Battlefield is coming to game pass?

[royal swan]

Yeah

[next onyx]

If they give it a suppressor and boost its accuracy to compensate for the lack of a tac comp or stubby grip that'd be nice.

[solar minnow]

Yes

As well as ea play

[fierce gull]

Now this is epic

[low timber]

XM8 SMG is gonna have a suppressor, if or when that arrives, as only BC2 weapons with suppressors were SMGs

[solar minnow]

It’s the best time to bring back players sense the game is a lot better now

[fierce gull]

Breakaway remake is amazing

[solar minnow]

I really wanna see hourglass.

Rework

[next onyx]

750 rpm huh.

[fierce gull]

They should have touched hourglass instead of manifest

[next onyx]

Hopefully it doesn't have an awkward 22 Max damage model.

[solar minnow]

They said their saving the biggest maps last.

[low timber]

You know, the support class having more LMG ammo won’t really make much sense, because

1. Anghel has unlimited ammo anyways
2. Support classes can equip the ammo crate…

[solar minnow]

Manifest is the last small map.

[next onyx]

Past free weekend no diesel.

Yeah I did realise that marse.

But it's probably a scenario if you're not running ammo box which is fine. Whatever

If you're some med box Irish for example.

[fierce gull]

The texture changes on breakaway is making me excited for the hourglass remake

[radiant prism]

Yeah breakaway looks fantastic

[fierce gull]

The sand is no longer gonna look like plastic cheese

[tame cobalt]

Hour ass

[solar minnow]

We got a teaser of it on one of the bundles.

[tame cobalt]

Hours of ass map design

[next onyx]

I will admit during rush of the ages I was really glad my med box had a greater range.

[tame cobalt]

doubt

[next onyx]

Infact I was having fun sitting back and healing people

And beaming people.

Pew pew

[low timber]

Well there isn’t much to run with Falck
No point for med crate because of the Syrette pistol.
Sure there is the smoke launcher and claymore option

[next onyx]

I do wonder if certain classes will posses more ammo with certain weapon types.

Probably not.

I should sleep.

[low timber]

Also, the AT mines are a in a little bit of a bad place, only for engineer class (Boris, Crawford and Lis) and you are most likely gonna run a launcher, so AT mines are only useful for Lis.

[next onyx]

It's 6:30 am and I hear the birds.

[delicate hollow]

when are they gonna add an mp5 to this game

[tame cobalt]

give support faster reload on lmg instead

[radiant prism]

Support gets more ammo for LMGs

[low timber]

Like what if Assaults C5 was the AT mine instead?

[next onyx]

Yeah as an assault mines would help.

[tame cobalt]

since lmg reloads tend to be god awful, that would be nice

[radiant prism]

BF in general seems to be allergic to the MP5, it wasn't in BF4 or BF3

[next onyx]

Yeah no faster reload with an MG.

[low timber]

So C5 would be in support and recon, like in BF4

[next onyx]

There's a reason why they have long reloads.

They're mgs.

Not assault rifles.

[tame cobalt]

[radiant prism]

Support just gets more ammo for LMGs

And more efficacy when bipodded

[dapper river]

Slow the reload for LMGs

[quiet shell]

I hope they slow down the ADS time on LMG's

[delicate hollow]

Thats dumb, if there's any SMG they need to add its that one

[next onyx]

We had the mp5 and mp5sd in bfh at least.

Mp5 for mechanic and SD as all kit.

[royal swan]

Oh man I can see all of the spots to put claymores down

[low timber]

On all ropes

[next onyx]

Claymore mastery.

[radiant prism]

Im not exactly looking forward to claymores lol

[royal swan]

Elevator

[next onyx]

Yeah after getting killed by one in rush of the ages id rather not.

[low timber]

Hopefully you can’t place claymores on those vertical ropes

[next onyx]

I was barely close to it and I'm sent flying.

[dapper river]

if irish counters claymores with his shootdown sentinel, then I'm all for them

[next onyx]

It also destroyed the bit of wall.

[low timber]

But I do want a claymore

[next onyx]

I read that wrong.

And got really concerned.

I can think of all the ways I can be an utter cunt with a claymore but I don't think anyone really wants them in mmmhhhh.

[low timber]

I want claymores, something for flankers to look out for

But the Javelin aiming need to be corrected

[next onyx]

I wouldn't mind it if claymores just weren't so powerful.

[low timber]

I’ll DM you the pics away

[next onyx]

And considering how dice has been going with the kill ranges for explosives it's not gonna be pretty with them.

[radiant prism]

I still think the C5 needs a nerf

[low timber]

Except you can literally walk past the lasers without them exploding if you go slow enough

[radiant prism]

Against infantry

[next onyx]

The m5 and c5 need a nerf.

[low timber]

Frag

Scatter

[next onyx]

Grenades need a longer fuse.

0.5 seconds longer

[low timber]

More

[next onyx]

Either 0.5 or 0.8 mmmhh

I dunno.

[low timber]

Also, aircraft explosives need to have a max range, so annoying to see a Stealth heli/attack heli in the skybox just dropping HE bombs/30mm

Out of AA lock/G-84 reach

[arctic grove]

Or better yet, let us cook the grenade

[next onyx]

You standard st chopper airbox bombing.

No cooking please no.

[arctic grove]

why?

[low timber]

What?

Oh, st as in stealth?

[next onyx]

Cooking sounds nice but considering the power of these grenades that's a no.

Yeah St is stealth.

[low timber]

Currently I’ve been seeing more attack helis in the sky box than stealth ones

[next onyx]

ATHELI, TRHELI, SCHELI, STHELI, etc.

Yeah they're gaining popularity.

Its good to see.

[low timber]

But still, they being able to shoot down 30mm while even a straight shot from G-86 runs out of fuel before reaching them is not great

[next onyx]

Wouldn't mind a small adjustment to lis but eh.

Sleepy time.

[rustic atlas]

Double xp on Portal as well?

[low timber]

Meanwhile transport helis do that closer to the ground as they just tank the shots lol

[arctic grove]

[wide shore]

Easter eggs done baby

[dapper river]

wasted opportinity sidelining these guys, let me play as them 😔

[fiery shoal]

but you cant see yourself anyway

[dapper river]

I can see myself when my lifeless corpse is violently flung from the transport heli that crashed due to a stupid pilot who was stupid

[limpid pond]

@fiery shoal

We were right they are gonna continue support

[tardy tree]

they said it in the development video

they said quite a bit actually

[royal swan]

Got the Easter egg

So easy

[limpid pond]

Yeah it all sounds good to me

[limpid pond]

I had to do it at 11am this morning

[sharp marten]

I think earlier I saw someone bitching how Crawford isn’t a support character anymore

[limpid pond]

Sounds good to me

[sharp marten]

Literally he’s better as a engineer

[tardy tree]

fr

he has an actual turret

and he can revive?

thats fucking stupid

[limpid pond]

Nah I didn't even care about that. 95% of people that play Crawford don't revive

Same with angel except that number is like 75%

And falck is 50 50

Only the newer non t1 skined falcks revive

Yeah been a bumpy road just had to stick with it. It was a brand new dev team that was thrown into a new server with no help

[mental delta]

Hopefully cause next game isn't going to come out soon I think

[sharp marten]

I see people wanting to play as bots and I’ll say it again just make a skin of the bots for each operator and boom playing as bots

[limpid pond]

If anyone's to blame is dice executives for not arranging some older devs time to help the new team

[royal swan]

Alright you know it's a good time to quit the match when your dumbass team loses all objective 5 minutes in the game

[arctic grove]

Can only play when when i have bf3 era enabled

[fiery shoal]

i dont recall saying they were going to support it, i think i had hoped but i didnt make a guess

[limpid pond]

Yeah if it's breakthrough then that's just because attackers are running and you have bad teammates

[royal swan]

Yep

No fun in those games

[limpid pond]

Oh maybe you said they weren't, in that case. haha in your face

[mental delta]

It probably won't even come in 2025, and it seems like their plan is to update BF2042 for an additional year even if they didn't confirm it yet

[limpid pond]

[fiery shoal]

LOL

[limpid pond]

Like I said. It was a new dev team with no help.

[fiery shoal]

i really dont think i made a prediction on support after year 1 though

[limpid pond]

I had a feeling they would because it's lost revenue and they're not gonna have to dish out hard money since the servers are up and people are starting to like the game again. It'll gain some popularity back, not all of it but enough

[lilac dust]

They're much better off supporting 2042 for at least another year to slowly get outsiders attention. If they release next BF too soon, it'll get poor sales

[limpid pond]

Oh in that's case not haha in your face

[fiery shoal]

i can see a case for dropping and continuing support, i alwasy hoped it would get more support though so people who liked it could keep playing it

[mental delta]

I am pretty sure I said like 15 times at least that this game would get its support cut after year 1

[fiery shoal]

there dread, in his face

[limpid pond]

Yeah personally I enjoy the game. It'd fun and the pbx felt buffed today. I know it wasn't but my shots were hitting

[mental delta]

For the moment I think there's no next BF game planned, only a solo independent experience

[limpid pond]

haha in your face

[lilac dust]

I could tell DICE themselves wanted to continue after season 4 based on their unprecendented commitment to reworking original maps. Thank god EA didn't cuck them out of a year 2 lol

[mental delta]

Yeah there Dread ! In my face !

[limpid pond]

Yeah in your face

[mental delta]

In the face of 90% of people in this server

[limpid pond]

Yes

haha in the face of 90% of people in this server

[fiery shoal]

i know a ton of people said it wouldnt get support

[limpid pond]

I had hopes

And my hopes came true

[fiery shoal]

hopes, but didnt expect it myself

[limpid pond]

So do I

[mental delta]

I had expectations
And my expectations came untrue

[limpid pond]

Idk man I just didn't see them cutting it after the first time where they were gonna cancel the game all together before season 1 dropped but they decided not to

Also as I've stated. It's a new dev team behind bf 2042. That's like a customer getting mad at a new cashier for not knowing what isle a item is in

[lusty temple]

Saving hourglass for last

[limpid pond]

Yes because it's a terrible map imo

[wide shore]

It’s gonna be big. If breakaway is anything to go by

[limpid pond]

Breakaway will be better than it already is

[wide shore]

I love snow maps. I’m really looking forward to hopefully actually liking Breakaway

I can’t stand that map rn

[fiery shoal]

changes look pretty good

me and my homies hate breakaway

[limpid pond]

If you use an smg and stay around the middle of the map and the area with the crates breakaway is so fun

[lilac dust]

Homies = Everyone

[wide shore]

These areas specifically look great

[limpid pond]

I got like 57h in that map

Oh dude what

[wide shore]

I cancel matchmaking if Breakaway comes up

[lilac dust]

You just squashed leo's face with snow

[limpid pond]

That's gonna be free kill

Kills

[fiery shoal]

i love this part, 2 of my 3 favorite areas in this map are now right by each other

[limpid pond]

They moved the oil rig closer luckily

[wide shore]

And added more ways up

[limpid pond]

And the lanes near the cliff along with no man's land have rubble

Nice

[wide shore]

Which was much needed.

[next isle]

looks good

[limpid pond]

Yeah looks really good to me so far

[wide shore]

More cover in the research center too. Again, much needed

[fiery shoal]

i wonder what they are gonna do with the hangar thing with the zipline, dont recall anything in the video

[limpid pond]

Gonna make the map even better

I hope we get breakaway 24/7

[wide shore]

And actual objectives not 10 miles away in the snow? It could go from being the worst to one of the best.

[limpid pond]

Imma play that for at least a week straight

[wide shore]

Manifest I’m a bit more skeptical about.

[limpid pond]

Ehhhhh I still feel hourglass is the worse

[wide shore]

I love manifest.

[limpid pond]

Manifest is cool

[wide shore]

The changes don’t look bad, but idk how they’ll feel

[fiery shoal]

i loved manifest before, the changes just seem to make it a bit better

closer obj are always a win, and less crane camping sounds good

[limpid pond]

I can only see Manifest getting small area updates

[wide shore]

Not sure how I feel about them replacing the second building at B with another tower

But I DO like removing some of the cranes.

[fiery shoal]

changes are a bit bigger than that

[wide shore]

Cause fuck those crane campers.

[limpid pond]

As long as they do 4 to 6 ways up it should be good

[fiery shoal]

they were annoying, but rarely actually a problem

[wide shore]

On breakthrough they are

[limpid pond]

They didn't get many kills but did mode damage

[fiery shoal]

ahh, yea im conquest only

[wide shore]

It was almost impossible to hold the ship area on Manifest because people would just jump up there and basically have infinite respawns

It was a bit silly.

[wide shore]

I am too. But still hated getting beamed by crane campers.

[fiery shoal]

i just hate the rocket crane campers

but then i just make it my job to keep them off of there

[wide shore]

I’ve volleyed many people with my rocket off those cranes

[crimson spade]

is the game still dying

[still vault]

Every game is dying after release, just at different speeds

Wonder how many cranes they have removed

[wide shore]

Gaem ded lul

I mean there’s what, like 4-5 there near the ships?

Probably down to like 2-3 I’d reckon

[robust ember]

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[wide shore]

It looks like the ones directly over the ship are going bye bye

[grave prism]

is double xp for weapon unlocks too or are they just kills still ? couldn't care less about double xp if weapons don't count..

[wide shore]

Still kills

[grave prism]

no more getting sniped by 5 different mackays

[wide shore]

Hopefully

[crimson spade]

modern warfare 2 didn't die upon release

[grave prism]

it did

[royal swan]

Saved the game and won as me and the drone specialist held one objective at the last few reinforcements, was Irish and started in a hallway with one way in

[limpid pond]

I'm all fine with the changes

I think the reworks are amazing

[crimson spade]

made 1 billion

[wide shore]

It’s only this area I’m not fond of. They removed a destructible building for something non-destructible.

Also why two golf balls right near eachother?

Not a fan of that

[royal swan]

When was that building destroyable

[wide shore]

You can destroy all the gray walls.

[grave prism]

so ?

[wide shore]

It’s not fully destructible. But it was still destructible

[lilac dust]

Upcoming gamemmode. Big foot golf party

[wide shore]

[limpid pond]

Be cool if the cranes were deductible

Destructible

[lilac dust]

Would be cool if everything was destructible

[crimson spade]

it was deemed a success

[wide shore]

Would be cool if they didn’t remove destructible assets for non-destructible ones for no reason.

[lilac dust]

probably helps increase graphic fidelity and lighting changes

[chilly dove]

So.... can we get some maps with large traversal and gameplay focused on that or is that request just too controversial with all these people who think "arcade" means "only what I think should be in the game" while they cry about shotguns and snipers? Maybe an official game mode or more portal options to make longer play focused gamemodes / larger maps. I'm not saying we have to go proper realism mod/mode but something that doesn't make a mission or operation during a war feel like a 20 minute ordeal before dinner time.

[wide shore]

More destruction>everything else

[lilac dust]

After all they admitted themselves that the engine needs an upgrade which it won't be getting til after 2042

[grave prism]

that doesn't mean it's not dying

[wide shore]

I hope they see The Finals and don’t take that laying down for the next game.

Cause if the destruction in The Finals is as good as it looks, BF need to step TF up

[still vault]

Some reading for you https://www.pcgamer.com/fixating-on-player-counts-and-dead-games-is-making-gaming-worse/

[crimson spade]

how do you know its dying

[wide shore]

Because every game has a boom and then it dies
