battlefield-2042

[hexed mango]

maybe its some promotion internally with those platforms

that 2042 just happens to agree to idfk

it is weird, but maybe they want to stagger it to attempt to squeeze the most out of it

[lilac dust]

That's the only logical reason tbh. Steam agreed to 5 days, playstation agreed to 7 e.c.t

[hexed mango]

ye

[next onyx]

One thing they should do is do an adaptive pack for the specialists.

Have the camo of the skin change depending on the environment.

[arctic grove]

That would be nice

[lilac dust]

Now that sounds like 2042 technology right there

At least they're leaning into future stuff next season

[next onyx]

Hexmesh adaptive.

They had this back on bf4 with the weapon skins.

They'd have to make them basic skins though to lessen the complications.

sniper? no. avancys.

[radiant prism]

F-35 my beloved

[arctic grove]

[radiant prism]

Alt: goofy ahh rao

[regal sphinx]

Do it.
The game is getting better and better.
The only thing it's missing are some more maps.
Nine AOW-Maps and six Portal-Maps aren't that much tbh. The reworked ones are of good quality, though. 😁👍

[glossy storm]

I think 2042 truly shines with HDR.

[regal sphinx]

Exposure Breakthrough for the first time was like an epiphany for me - the music during storming the ziplines to C1 -ahhh - a true Only-In-Battlefield-Moment.

Davamant Peak uphill! 😎

[tame cobalt]

S3 reveal tomorrow

[royal swan]

Black bess skin for the American tank in 2042

[next onyx]

@grizzled whale Found my number.

[royal swan]

Or a all black skin for the tanks

[next onyx]

Kinda like the DICE skins?

[grizzled whale]

The one thing i could still flex on you with

And you just had to takr that away from me too

Why must you take everything from me

[eager spire]

I don't know why they insist on making the DICE skins solid black

like I think Solid Black should be something everyone has access to

[slender isle]

Is something messed up or is the pf51 kinda shit now? you know the full auto sidearm?

[cursive jewel]

Nice clip

[next onyx]

You have every gun tier 1 and even I couldn't fathom doing that lol.

[slender isle]

[fading wharf]

I love you guys

[sage dock]

Right back at ya!

[arctic grove]

Wdym s3 reveal tomorrow

[next onyx]

It's a Tuesday so.

Honestly.

Best we wait.

[tame cobalt]

On tuesday they will reveal s3

New map, guns, specialist, gadget, vehicle

[arctic grove]

Where did you hear that?

[tame cobalt]

I made it up

[arctic grove]

So its fake news?

-.-

[tame cobalt]

It's a prophecy

Based on how they've been doing it in the past

Dev update video then season reveal the following tuesday

[arctic grove]

I mean i hope so, but as you said, you made it up

[tame cobalt]

[arctic grove]

But ur right itll be soon

[upbeat sand]

But it's pretty much what we gettin from the last 2

Plies they did change their thing to "map" instead of "maps" per season

[tame cobalt]

kek

I'm fine with 1 map per season, considering the reworks

And if we get another 4 maps next year, even better

If we get MORE than 4 maps next year, then SHEEEEESH

[next onyx]

If we get 2 2042 maps and 2 portal maps per season in year 2 that'd be even better.

[tame cobalt]

[upbeat sand]

Map reworked sue basically a new map

[tame cobalt]

That would be ideal, but that would probably be too much budget for this game

[upbeat sand]

1 New is fine

[tame cobalt]

And half the devs will be working on the next game

[plain needle]

spearhead is bouta be lit

[tame cobalt]

More than half prob

[plain needle]

New map

Takes place in Sweden in a metro station

[next onyx]

[plain needle]

Imagine

[next onyx]

I want seinne crossing.

[upbeat sand]

I hear it's gonna be set in an ikea and on breakthough you push through from the cafeteria to the checkout

[upbeat sand]

sadge

[next onyx]

I found a few games yesterday.

[plain needle]

I’m having an extremely hard time tryna playing 2042 on console with cross play on, I can hardly find a single game of conquest

[next onyx]

What's your region.

[kindred stirrup]

Can you create your own maps in portal

[plain needle]

US EST

[kindred stirrup]

?

[next onyx]

I'm not sure what it is there.

You can't duck.

Blah I mean I'm not sure what time it is there.

[plain needle]

It’s 3 am but I’m not talking abt now

[next onyx]

Just trying to think. It's either too early or there aren't many games up.

[upbeat sand]

everyone in OCE in 2042 are all just launch day S100s

[next onyx]

Lol I hit S rank and stopped playing.

Then came back.

And here we are.

[upbeat sand]

i could of gotten S rank before S1 but i skipped every match right before the game ended cause i didnt want to wait to get into a game

so i got no exp

[next onyx]

Pain.

[upbeat sand]

eh

80 was fine

anywya

[next onyx]

By the way beans the VCAR is the best aggressive gun I've found.

It's cracked.

[upbeat sand]

only problem i found is the being outgunned by the dam sfar

[next onyx]

Yeah.

Though at close range it mauls people.

[upbeat sand]

long barrel, standard and 2x yes

[next onyx]

I use short barrel with close combat.

Bang bang bang!

[upbeat sand]

i found close combat not that good cause i mostly ended up weakening them before someone steals it

[slender isle]

Actually I’m getting killed more and more by like under level 80s

Mostly console players but still

[upbeat sand]

nice to see new players

or they just came back

[slender isle]

Probably both lmao

[next onyx]

Close combat is a 3hk within 30m.

[upbeat sand]

i also found that level 20 falks are SIGMA GOD TEIR

[next onyx]

It's nice to see some people from xbox but at the same time that community can get fucked.

[upbeat sand]

they will revive you, heal and everything

even smokes

[next onyx]

Good medic.

[upbeat sand]

yet the S+ falks are all selfish peices of SHI

[slender isle]

Xbox medics are all I see now and they run through explosions and gunfire to revive you

[next onyx]

I can't wait until Irish becomes a medic.

That will be peak.

[slender isle]

No longer will I die instantly to a sniper once revived

[plain needle]

Oh fucking facts

[upbeat sand]

truely

[next onyx]

Irish is an easy A.

[plain needle]

Me

[upbeat sand]

I AM NO LONGER FRIENDS WITH CRAWFORD

IRISH IS NOW MY NEW BEST FRIEND

[plain needle]

FUCK CRAWFISH ALL MY HOMIES HATE CRAWFISH

ISHISH FOR THE MEDIC W

[next onyx]

I feel like he may be an A+ once medic but he's not that good.

He'll offer more utility.

[upbeat sand]

i hope more engies will be repairing now

[next onyx]

I was looking forward to using the repair tool on his shield.

[upbeat sand]

actually prob not cause the tankers are to dumb and run away leaving their engie out of cover while they need to chase down the thing

[next onyx]

Yeah kek.

During bf5 I learned not to sit at the side of a tank while it's under fire.

It prevents the rockets from hitting you 95% of the time.

The other 5% is when they grow a brain cell and flank.

Positioning behind makes it so that when the tank retreats you are pushed.

[upbeat sand]

I don’t trust stairs

They’re always up to something

[plain needle]

Lmao

[slender isle]

Well Crawford is getting a “quick repair” perk which makes it so when the vehicle is below some form of health threshold you’ll repair it back to full almost instantly

[upbeat sand]

hopefully there wont be camping crawfords who just sit in tanks or condors continously repairing making it even more harder to destory

[slender isle]

Yeah no that’s definitely gonna happen

[limpid pond]

Ca0

Nope

You're wrong

[next onyx]

Everytime I open 2042 I see Shady's fucking pfp with the pepe copium pfp.

[limpid pond]

[slender isle]

I’ve decided to leave any game I see assault or shady in

Just for the betterment of my mental health

[limpid pond]

Who's shady

Reminds me of that guy sugonde

[slender isle]

Just this very very very very cracked out player

I just can’t be bothered playing against someone as good as that

[limpid pond]

Weird.is he as good as sugonde?

[slender isle]

😀

[limpid pond]

Is he?

[slender isle]

I don’t want to answer

[limpid pond]

Why not

Nah I'm trolling

But on a real note haven't heard of this shady guy

[next onyx]

Just a guy in OCE.

[limpid pond]

[limpid pond]

I think the whole open world rpg thing for Harry potter is a great idea

She said she thinks that she'll love it

Only issue is they've push the release date back 3 separate times already

[fading wharf]

so when is my pre order then?

[limpid pond]

That's sus

👀

[eager spire]

I personally don't feel that the setting of Harry Potter is that engaging, in fact, the only reason it seems to be liked at all is because nobody really thinks about it, because when you start thinking about it, it starts to get really bad, and also very stupid.

[fading wharf]

Ea sports

It's in the game

Yo unpopular opinion but paid dlcs should come back

[pastel loom]

premium benefitted both the players and the devs
so sure

[fading wharf]

unpopular opinion but soldiers should be able to kiss their squad mates

[limpid pond]

100% it brings extra funding and keeps ea executives out of the equation so players and devs are happy

[limpid pond]

Yes add paddy cake emote too

And anume skins

Anime

[ebon pilot]

skins don't?

[limpid pond]

Depends. Skins do a bring in some revenue but they're also forced by the higher ups to bring in money which is why there's such a emphasis on them. With dlcs you get hard content like maps weapons new vehicles etc

[ebon pilot]

whole idea behind skins not premium is it has all the benefits of more income without the cost of a split player base

forced by higher ups

did you just pull that out of your ass?

[limpid pond]

No why?

They literally are

[ebon pilot]

where's it from?

[limpid pond]

Corporation knowledge

Wherelse

[ebon pilot]

that's out of thin air

[limpid pond]

It's not lol. Executives make it a point for sales that's always brought up in meetings

I work for ikea. Its the same thing for every company. You can't make a product without return on revenue in some way. And in gaming's case they push skins for revenue

It's not a hard topic to understand

[ebon pilot]

and not premium for revenue

because premium was for the players

[limpid pond]

Did you pay for it?

Yes or no

[ebon pilot]

Nah I bought EA Play and was given it

But I have bought skins in 2042

[limpid pond]

Alright. Now think about what happens when you buy a product from a company

Where does that money go?

To the company.

[ebon pilot]

which pays for expenses like dev salaries

I work for a tech company I'm not stupid. I'm just confused why you believe premium is any different from skins

[limpid pond]

Exactly and it goes to the company for sales and profit along with money for future projects

[ebon pilot]

Premium and skins are two sides of the same coin.

[limpid pond]

Premium added content such as maps weapons vehicles and such on. Skins just add decals or weapons and vehicles and players

[ebon pilot]

Yes but gameplay content is now free

[limpid pond]

And my whole point was that premium was better due to the simple fact that it's content compared to skins

Everyone complains about content

[ebon pilot]

Everyone is kinda dumb

We've had like 2 seasons of content where have they been

[limpid pond]

If they make it to where you can pay for the content more people are likely to try and buy co tent vs skins if the game is fun

It's a battle pass

Weapons are free and so are maps

[ebon pilot]

So are vehicles

[limpid pond]

Battle pass is meant to get multiple skins

[ebon pilot]

and gadgets

[limpid pond]

Okay so free content

[ebon pilot]

Gameplay content is in the battle pass

[limpid pond]

Where

[ebon pilot]

Rank 4 was Crawford in season 2

[eager spire]

yeah but you also have to consider that if you make it so you have to pay to get the content, you'll run into the problem of later on in the game's life, or after the next game in the series has come out, that paid content is basically dead, because server owners are not going to run content that not everyone owns. It's not fair.

[limpid pond]

Correct but you can also lower the price on content. 5$ for 2 maps and 3 weapons would get alot of people to buy instead of the battle pass

Because it's convinece

People will pay for convince over quality

[eager spire]

Yeah, but I don't think EA would budge on selling DLC for that low.

[ebon pilot]

This is why humanity will go extinct

[limpid pond]

Oh nah I didn't say they would. I said if they did it would be better

They'd get more sales but don't wanna take the risk which I understand

[ebon pilot]

No matter how low you go not everyone will budge and buy DLC

[pastel loom]

bf games with their premium often become 10$ at most

[limpid pond]

Didn't say everyone. This is why humanity will go extinct

[eager spire]

yeah, some people are just not willing to buy extra content for games beyond initially buying the game.

and that's justified, i feel.

[limpid pond]

If you take the time to focus on the content side more with how much people complain they would buy the content over skins

[eager spire]

there's a reason why people often just bought the older BF games with Premium included so they didn't have to bother buying all the DLC's as they came out, they just got all the DLC's when they came out.

[limpid pond]

Think about it

Everyone complains about bf 2042s lack of content. If they say alright guys 10$ will get you 5 new maps and 3 new weapons people will buy it over the battle pass strictly because it gives them something to do

[ebon pilot]

Some people will buy anything

But for content you need everyone to buy it

Otherwise it'll slowly die because content can't be used without others who also bought in

And if not everyone bought it, people will slowly fall back to default content

[limpid pond]

I don't understand the issue here. They literally did it 6 years ago

Lol

[ebon pilot]

And had this exact problem

[eager spire]

Gaming has changed a lot in the last 6 years.

[patent path]

live service sucks big stinky farts

[limpid pond]

I know it's changed. But it worked for a reason too

[patent path]

I would rather buy map packs fr fr

[limpid pond]

Most people woukd

[eager spire]

I wouldn't.

[ebon pilot]

What we're describing is a problem endemic to what dice has done for years.

[eager spire]

I'm poor as shit. I can't justify that.

[limpid pond]

Didn't you buy both battlepasses

[eager spire]

I got BF4 and BF1 Premium for free from On The House when that was running.

[eager spire]

I've not bought any battlepasses.

[ebon pilot]

Silly dread, not everyone buys the premium battle pass

and that's the point

[limpid pond]

That's a small percent though

That's my Pont

Point

[ebon pilot]

pulling numbers out of thin air again?

[limpid pond]

Nope

[tame cobalt]

[eager spire]

okay, but a small percent of people not buying the premium battle pass does not matter that much

[limpid pond]

There a reason the company is successful

[ebon pilot]

this dude is pulling numbers out of thin air and refusing to admit it

[limpid pond]

Nah bruh how am I pulling numbers out of thin air if it's the companies I come

Income

[eager spire]

do you have a single fact to back that up

[limpid pond]

I can get them

[ebon pilot]

do it

[eager spire]

Then do that.

[ebon pilot]

bet

[limpid pond]

Okay

I'm gonna use fortnite and cod to reference to show sales based off battle passes

And I'll use the mobile gaming revenue earnings to prove my point too

[ebon pilot]

those are completely different games

[limpid pond]

I didn't specify battle field now did I?

Read what I said

"Unpopular opinion but paids dlcs should come back"

I didn't specify only ea lol

This is why humanity will go extinct

[ebon pilot]

Alright this guy is off his rocker I'm going to bed

[vagrant mason]

so why does 2042 have no hardcore yet

[eager spire]

okay, but how does that prove anything about how "most people would buy map packs", and how does that disprove my statement about how paid DLC leads to an inherent problem with the playable lifespan of the paid content because not everyone is going to buy the map packs?

[limpid pond]

Yes do that and when you wake up your reading ability will come back hopefully

[limpid pond]

It does still. Cod was a main producer of paid dlcs along with battlefield

[eager spire]

Was.

[limpid pond]

Both games did it

[eager spire]

They don't anymore.

[limpid pond]

Exactly and neither does battlefield

[eager spire]

okay.

[limpid pond]

So what's your point?

[eager spire]

You claimed that most people would buy map packs. Do you have a single fact to back that up?

[limpid pond]

Let me get one

[ebon pilot]

He doesn't

[eager spire]

⏱️

[limpid pond]

All I can show is the fact that people will buy battle passes since dlc hasn't been around

[eager spire]

okay so that proves that people will indeed buy things given the option to do so. this doesn't prove that most people would choose to buy map packs over just having maps be added as free content.

you basically don't have anything supporting your claim.

[limpid pond]

Now when the hell did I say that people didn't prefer it to be free?

I'm talking about the fact of the game lacking content

[eager spire]

you did make the claim

[limpid pond]

Now show where I said they prefer that over being free

[eager spire]

i didn't just photoshop this screenshot

[limpid pond]

Show it

⏲️

Yo

[limpid pond]

Now read it

I said they would buy it over the battle pass

A paid service

[eager spire]

yes. which would imply they prefer that method.

[limpid pond]

Yes buying map packs over buying the battle pass

[vagrant mason]

id pay another $100 for hardcore on 2042

[limpid pond]

Now when did I say they will buy map packs over free map packs

[eager spire]

Go to Portal you weirdo

[ebon pilot]

just make an hardcore portal server

[vagrant mason]

portal is bad

[ebon pilot]

no u

[limpid pond]

⏲️

[slender isle]

I’d pay 100$ for the removal of hardcore in 2042

[limpid pond]

You uh got the proof yet?

[vagrant mason]

youre clearly bad

[ebon pilot]

clearly

I mean he works at Ikea cmon

[limpid pond]

Where you work at

[eager spire]

You seem very convinced that people would just adopt this method of spending money for maps over the battlepass. I feel like there would be considerable backlash if they replaced the free map drops with this, but you seem convinced that most people would just buy them because they're there.

[ebon pilot]

why don't you find out

with that big brain reading comprehension of yours

[limpid pond]

What does reading have to do with me knowing your personal info that I can't access

[ebon pilot]

because you can access it

just look for it

anyway I sleep now

[limpid pond]

I mean they adopted the whole battle pass system too. There'd backlash with the fact that there's not enough free maps. So there isn't much to go with or against

[eager spire]

well yes there aren't many free maps because the maps are fucking massive and they're having to rework all the base game maps on top of that

i don't see how charging for maps would fix anything here.

[limpid pond]

But thats the issue with all games lack of content which isn't even an issue. There's plenty of content but people will complain about it

[eager spire]

what does this have to do with paid dlc.

[limpid pond]

People say there isn't enough content. You all of a sudden make people pay for it and boom now there's alot of content

[eager spire]

there isn't suddenly more content cause people are paying for it.

it's not like EA/DICE aren't getting money here. If they weren't, this game would've already been canned.

[limpid pond]

I know that already

The point is. Paid dlc is strictly content based. If people complain about lack of it. Throw it behind a pay wall. People will and won't buy it

[next onyx]

I told my friend to charge a tank with the repair tool, The tank got Emp'd and the guy bailed from his tank.

[limpid pond]

Did the enemy take the tank? I have teammates that legit abandon vehicles on the enemy side then they end up with 3 choppers and 2 tanks with a wild cat

[eager spire]

yes but eventually that will lead to that paid dlc not being used because as the game gets older and people just buy the standard edition of the game cause it's cheap and the people with the content move on to new games, there will be less people that have access to that content, so people aren't gonna run servers using it because they wanna have the largest possible pool of players.

[limpid pond]

Well man thats just a result of the game being old with paid dlc

[eager spire]

so while yes technically the content is there, it's not being used, which would be the same as it not being there at all.

[near berry]

make AI fucking die for me

[limpid pond]

You jjst pool the playerbase together. The ones that have paid dlc are able to play in matches with non dlc owners and paid dlc owners

It's been done already

Idk what to say man

Only reason it changed was because battlepasses are easier to "obtain" compared to the paid dlc. On average people will spend 10 to 20$ for battle passes each 3 months. That's more spent then people that bought 2 dlcs back in the day

[eager spire]

You do realize that just because I have DLC doesn't mean i can't not play it due to no servers running the DLC content, instead choosing to only run base game content because that's the largest player pool?

[limpid pond]

Yes and you do realise that servers can pool players that have paid dlc into the same server as well as letting paid dlc players to play with non dlc players and not use dlc

The fact is they have it so when they are able to use it they can

[eager spire]

Do you think there are dedicated servers for people that own DLC and people who don't?

Do you think they're just seperated like that? Because that's not how that works.

[limpid pond]

Not dedicated but grouped.

Servers can be started off of dlc content if there's enough players

Look at black ops 3 for instance. Alot of people playing bo3 for the first time today don't have the dlc. But I do. I can hop on and play in a dlc game whenever it puts me in one. I can also play in non dlc games whenever it puts me in one

[eager spire]

Okay, so you're saying the server should just be able to tell who has the DLC and who doesn't and if there are enough people with DLC it'll just run DLC, but there's a problem with this approach, if this threshold is met and there are people in the server that DON'T have the DLC, they'll likely end up being removed from the server.

[limpid pond]

Dude what. Bo3 literally does it

[eager spire]

Or not be able to find matches.

[limpid pond]

Idk how to explain this to you lmao

The game does it already

It doesn't put people who don't have doc in a server that requires the dlc pack.

It groups non doc with non dlc and dlc but forces dlc owners to play non dlcs maps

[eager spire]

Okay, i'm talking from the perspective of a dedicated server. You're talking about the matchmaking system that Bo3 uses.

I'm talking from my perspective because we're talking about Battlefield here.

[limpid pond]

I said not dedicated

I specifically avoided dedicated servers because they normally are user made

[eager spire]

also note: Bo3 is dead as fuck, and also full of security issues on PC so this is practically irrelevant to me.

[limpid pond]

Bo3 has a higher playercoynt than almost every older cod excluding 2019 and up

[eager spire]

Battlefield servers are generally dedicated, weither they are run by people who pay for servers or DICE themselves.

[limpid pond]

That's fine. Battlefield could be an exception then

Dota 2 minecraft cod etc games could probably be better off with paid dlcs though

[eager spire]

I don't agree.

[limpid pond]

That's fine you don't have to

[eager spire]

MW22 is trying that shit though, Year 2 is gonna come with a "premium" paid expansion to the game that costs another $70 on top of the $70 for the base game, and will likely come with the OG MW2 map remakes. Which seems ridiculous to me, because MW19 released the CoD4 map remakes as free post launch content, and I don't recall anyone ever complaining about content in that game.

[limpid pond]

It's ridiculous to you but people are gonna buy it man idk what to say to you

[eager spire]

I fucking hate that line of reasoning, "people are gonna buy it anyway why complain about it". it's such a lazy handwaving of genuine criticism, especially in regards to this topic, where i feel that this is Activision trying to drain money from consumers even harder than usual.

Activision made big fucking profits from Warzone and MW19.

They didn't need to do this.

[limpid pond]

I can't keep arguing man. Reality is people are gonna buy it. Paid dlc has never been forced so just don't buy it.

[eager spire]

sure it's not forced but it's also not justified.

[next onyx]

My friend stole it and gave it to me since she didn't want to tank.

[eager spire]

I'm going to sleep.

[limpid pond]

Lucky. My teammates just give free tanks and minibirds to the enemy

[limpid pond]

Night man

[next onyx]

We were in a voice chat.

And I encouraged her to do it.

Knowing she was to die.

[limpid pond]

Ah I see your persausiin is level 100

[tame cobalt]

who ready for railgun time baybee

[limpid pond]

My teammates can listen to me then do the complete opposite

[tame cobalt]

i bet the railgun sniper will be an anti-materiel rifle

[limpid pond]

Railgun Go boom

[tame cobalt]

Railgun tank vs railgun rifle

Who will win

[limpid pond]

Tank

[near berry]

can we get aerial superiority

[tame cobalt]

ez

[limpid pond]

It's a file vs a shell 10× biggers

[low timber]

If the mk4 is close enough to the way mk1 worked I want a legendary skin that makes the mk4 into mk1

[limpid pond]

Nope. You're not allowed

[low timber]

[limpid pond]

You get an epic that looks like a water gun instead

Take it or leave it

[limpid pond]

Imagine they add a hotdog costume

[slender isle]

New operator

[limpid pond]

Wienerman

[slender isle]

German specialist that shoots mustard out of his arms

[limpid pond]

It's the comgun from fortnite

Idk what the actual gun is called

Okay yo I actually wanna know why the haven't added 120 fps support for new Gen on bf 2042. Is it because of optimization issues for the game. I know pc had a hard time running it when it launched and on console it was worse

[tame cobalt]

yes because of optimisation

i assume the cpu is too overloaded to allow 120fps with 128 players

[limpid pond]

You know what I'm gonna charge you 38.999$ for saying that

[tame cobalt]

[slender isle]

Lunge mine in 2042 when?

[limpid pond]

Nope. Plunger mines

Just stick a grenades on the end of a toilet plunger boom lunge mine

[slender isle]

Very true, maybe use an impact nade

Then it’s an explosive spear

[limpid pond]

Yeah don't use the wrong one on your toilet lmao

[next onyx]

"Nazz, There's a tank. What do you have?"

Pulls out a repair tool.
"Brilliant now rush it"

[limpid pond]

So this is gonna sound dumb way but can you actually blow up an enemy tank with a repair tool?

In og battlefront 2 you could slice an enemy out of a tank

Does that same logic apply to bf

[ancient peak]

Yes you can blow a tank up

Been like that since… well a long damn time

[next onyx]

You can.

[limpid pond]

Didn't know. Not really a vehicle player

[ancient peak]

I mean c5 is the better option if you’re going to rush a tank

But the tool does work

[slender isle]

Yeah, better option for losers

[ancient peak]

Look I rush tanks with the EOD bot

The ultimate flex

[slender isle]

You’ve gotta jump on top of the tank, eait for the enemy to jump out, then steal the tank when you kill them

[tame cobalt]

Kek

[slender isle]

Okay quick question: would you recommend someone to play 2042 during the free weekend/on gamepass? I know a few people would say “even being free it’s not worth your time” but I’d say it is. Just wondering what you guys say?

[ancient peak]

Lol people saying that need to get over themselves.

Yes. The game is worth playing over a F2P weekend and on game pass

[slender isle]

I’ve been told they wouldn’t even get it at 5-10$ which is weird to think

[ancient peak]

Those people wouldn’t buy the game at all even if it was 5 to 10 bucks

And that’s okay.

Their opinion and whatever

[slender isle]

I feel 10$ is like, less than a McDonalds small meal…

Right?

[slender isle]

But yeah their money their opinion which is fair

[ancient peak]

Considering the content you’d get, yeah $10 is a steal at this point

[slender isle]

I won’t lie (could just be me) but I’d pay full price for the game coming into S3, like knowing there’s at least more than 6 months of life left in the game

[ancient peak]

I recommended the game to my friends at $30-40 and they bought it when it reached that point. They’ve enjoyed it despite the game’s faults.

[slender isle]

Had a few of my buddies do that too

[ancient peak]

Are there things they would like? Yeah. They want standard skins you could throw over specialists, feel tanks are kinda meh, and are irritated c5 and recoilless are everywhere, but despite that they do enjoy the gunplay (far more than mw2 which I also played with them and they straight up uninstalled), the squad teamplay (granted that’s just battlefield in general), and the maps (though they don’t like 128 players, only because yam brain players seem to lapse in ability with more people on the screen)

[shy latch]

-1 day to S3 reveal

[slender isle]

Well have you told them tanks are basically getting a silent buff with the class rework, and that launchers won’t be everywhere (c5 might be) and that they can unlock blank skins for the specialists?

[ancient peak]

1 and 2 yes, and they’re happy for that (though they’re still irritated assault gets C5), though 3 uh… I didn’t hear them giving standard ai skins for specialists?

[slender isle]

Oh no not AI stuff

But like skins that make them look like a standard soldier

Basically all of the first major tier skins give them more of a militaristic look

Falk, paik, and Mackay especially

Also Liz and Crawford

I think all of them do

[ancient peak]

Yeah they want the AI stuff as an option, though after playing for a while the specialists themselves are growing on them (hell one of my buddies got Rao’s tech skin, the one with the digital camo) so it’s not a huge deal

[next onyx]

Wait I forgot are these changes coming in the start of season 3 or midway?

[slender isle]

Update 3.2

So with breakaway

[next onyx]

Ah.

[ancient peak]

Yeah the specialist stuff is midway through the season

Vehicle rework probably 3.1

[slender isle]

Could be 3.0 we don’t actually know what’s coming with the update besides the vault weapons

[ancient peak]

We’ll find out tomorrow

[slender isle]

Tomorrow or Thursday

Most likely tomorrow but most of these announcements have happened on thursdays

[grizzled whale]

None of the vault weapons tho

[low timber]

Dew it, I’m doing it as well.

[shy latch]

does anyone else having difficult sometimes to see squad's ping?

[slender isle]

I think they’re slightly bugged cause I hardly see them

[shy latch]

oh ok, so I'm not the only one

[low timber]

Bugged? Nah, they just pinged a red ping +1000m outside of the map

[next onyx]

Yeah why am I not surprised a nightbird main when they play as infantry have to cheese the game with armour.

[slender isle]

You versing assault?

Cause god does he only use armour (good for me in a tank though)

[next onyx]

Nah assault uses medpens.

It's Ashe.

Also no need to reply ping I'm right here.

[slender isle]

It’s a force of habit

So my bad

But yeah, Ashe kinda is a big ol prick most of the time. In game, in stream, in chat, in other people’s streams

[next onyx]

Oh yeah?

[slender isle]

He’s also a crybaby that leaves the game if you kill him too much

[next onyx]

I shelled him and he left lol.

[shy latch]

once I saw a streamer complaining about Rao to be an op specialist

[slender isle]

Told you

[shy latch]

this guy was always (and waiting) for the stealth heli

[slender isle]

He then proceeds to complain to his viewers about being targeted

[shy latch]

every single match

[ancient peak]

Rao is powerful when your team isn’t sleeping when you hack a helicopter

[slender isle]

Rao is great

Rao+ntw is a great combo

[shy latch]

yah, he's powerful but not op indeed

[slender isle]

Ntw will knock stealth Helis out of stealth which I only learned the other day

Any damage will

[ancient peak]

Huh

The more you know

[slender isle]

I’d say Liz is more powerful than rao against Helis

[shy latch]

wait wait wait.....what?

[woeful turtle]

After getting S001 Rank, is there anything that i can Unlock with Leveling Up?

[shy latch]

ntw will force the heli to go out the stealth mode?

[next onyx]

If it damages a part yes.

[slender isle]

Unless I’ve had 3-4 occasions of hitting the stealth with the ntw and they come straight out of stealth mode or it is a forced change

[shy latch]

I didn't know that

[slender isle]

Pretty great way

To like fuck em

[woeful turtle]

After getting S001 Rank, is there anything that i can Unlock with Leveling Up?

[next onyx]

No.

[slender isle]

Nope

[ancient peak]

Just clout

[slender isle]

You get a cool red number badge though, like a cool person

[shy latch]

technically after level 60 there isn't anything else to unlock (except battle passes weapon/vehicles, but that's a different story)

[slender isle]

You have T1 badges and skins for all specialists and guns though

[fading wharf]

Luv u guys

[quaint vector]

[shy latch]

uhm....ok..? we loves you too....I guess?

[fading wharf]

[low timber]

You know what would be cool to see, a render of stranded with water, to see how the islands used to be before it got drained

[shy latch]

actually if you check on Google Maps you can see 😏

well, tbh I din't try to match the location when S2 started

[next onyx]

@low timber Flashback BT on Valparaiso with the water there.

Imagine that.

[low timber]

In Rush there is the water

I wonder if we’ll ever get diving in 2042, sure there aren’t many maps with deep enough water for it, especially Kaleidoscope now

[slender isle]

There’s manifest

[low timber]

Actually, why does Kaleidoscope have drawbridges now if the water is so shallow that even a RC boat would scrape its bottom

[shy latch]

once I already say that, but it would be cool to have the same map with random time every beginning of match (i.e: at dawn, mid-day, and also night would be pretty) together with the weather changes during the match, I don't think is something that would require a lot of performance to be done

[low timber]

Speaking of Manifest, now that they are reducing the amount of cranes, hopefully they’ll also add more ways up than just that one rope and two ladders which are all in the same end.

[next onyx]

Definitely.

[shy latch]

we'll see, just need to wait another month

[next onyx]

I think we were all expecting them to do Breakaway last with hourglass.

[shy latch]

yup

[low timber]

Tbh, for me the only map I haven’t played in maybe a half a year is Discarded.

[shy latch]

Breakaway rework was a good revelations

[next onyx]

I forget Discarded exists.

[low timber]

Haven’t played Discarded because I’ve mostly played BT and the small layout is not to my liking, the big layout I liked from the part that it had the town and then the transition to the Colossus ship.

[shy latch]

talking about Breakaway: now with the map reworked what will happened to the penguins?

[low timber]

Still there

Dev tweeted about them

[shy latch]

really?

[low timber]

https://twitter.com/t0talfps/status/1592111000387719169?s=46&t=lp53g0NnbB71GWdGCgNVhg

[shy latch]

that's a very good news

[slender isle]

Not me

I’ve been saying for a while that they’re wouldn’t do the 2 biggest last because it is too much work

At 1 time anyways

Hence is getting discarded and hourglass next time. 1 smaller map that just needs a new layout and some assets moved, another map that is huge and needs whole sections of the map moved with a new layout

[shy latch]

is it only me that bother about the huge amount of empty space on Russian/A1/A2 sector in the new Manifest layout?

I mean, it could be use to flank, but still a lot

[mental delta]

Idk why they made that empty space it looks bad

[shy latch]

yeah, that's my thought, it seems anti-aesthetics also

imo if they cut a portion of it with a straight line will be better

[mental delta]

Yup cause rn it just looks like a good spot for AA

[shy latch]

unfortunately I can't post pictures here, otherwise I did a visual modification on how it would be imo

[slender isle]

Just add another flag there

[shy latch]

yeah, that could be another option too

[slender isle]

But I think having a flag that low kinda takes the attention away from the other flags and spreads people too thin

Kinda like how they removed that flag north west of everything

[hot rain]

will it be like I can play the game for free during that time or can I get the game into my library for free?

It'd be the first one

u can also get it on EA play for cheap from the 22nd

Season 3 hype

[mental delta]

Give new infos

[warped pulsar]

A factory map with some elements of metro 🤔

[mental delta]

More infos please

[lucid goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/hmm-suspect-gif-22611582

[heavy sandal]

the year1 pass says "4 new specialists one per season" does this mean you only get them with that?

[mental delta]

#Carpo knows something, as usual...

[lucid goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-scott-i-know-nothing-gif-4351574

[arctic grove]

No, they will be unlockable after a season ends if you mean if you’ll be able to unlock them

[warped pulsar]

I love all the metro style maps from the OG in BF3, to operation underground in BF 5

[heavy sandal]

season 2 new specialist is crawford, isnt he unlocked for all?

[mental delta]

You know the amount of weapons, the name of the next specialist and you have already played 15 times on the nex map

[arctic grove]

After S2 ends if you didn’t play and unlock him then you will be able to complete challenges to unlock him

[lucid goblet]

15... nah more like 20

[heavy sandal]

aah like i did for LIZ, i didnt play during 1, so no point for me to get year 1 pass right?

i can just buy manually and i lose nothing

[mental delta]

Send pics now

The year 1 pass allows you to unlock the battlepasses premium tiers, and the free tiers in the BP always include the gameplay content like the new guns, vehicles, etc.

[tame cobalt]

Or is it

[heavy sandal]

yes i mean it is better if i buy premium each season now that we are in season 2

[tame cobalt]

[mental delta]

😋

[slender isle]

Would love to see metro just get a surprise release this season 😀

[arctic grove]

Ah, I’m not sure what would be cheaper if that’s what you mean

[tame cobalt]

I'm ready to buy year 2 pass

[warped pulsar]

The rumors say, something metro related for the new map

[heavy sandal]

year 1 pass is 36 euro, 1 battle pass is 10 , so i get 3 x10 equals 30

[tame cobalt]

Or is it

[slender isle]

Yeah it’s cheaper to get them by themselves from now on

[heavy sandal]

i see thanks

[slender isle]

Y2 pass I will be buying however

[tame cobalt]

Based

[mental delta]

Who says there is a year 2 planned lad ?

[heavy sandal]

same, its a nice discount, i had the ultimate upgrade and i did not get stuff from season 1 so i refunded

[tame cobalt]

I have a feeling

That there will be a delay

Between year 1 and 2

[slender isle]

One of the devs on Twitter said “did I hear a year 2?”

[heavy sandal]

2 hours with customer service

[slender isle]

Probably a month, maybe a couple weeks

[tame cobalt]

But hopefully I'm wrong

[tame cobalt]

Yuh

[arctic grove]

And Alexia Christoffi also mentioned it after being asked about squad management

[tame cobalt]

Pog

[slender isle]

Squad management did maybe show up in the dev update

[arctic grove]

She said there’s a lot of ideas floating around the studio so there isn’t anything to discount at the moment

[slender isle]

You could kinda see a new thing on the mini map

With the squad leader

[arctic grove]

Oh yeah I think it was a new mini map design and yup the squad leader icon

[tame cobalt]

Pog

[arctic grove]

The objective markers looked different too so I’m not sure if they plan on redesigning the games UI altogether

[slender isle]

But if the squad leader stuff doesn’t show up I’ll take it as squad management changes coming

[heavy sandal]

the ui is a weird lowres in the game

[slender isle]

Also the kill feed looked top right

[mental delta]

What does that mean ?

[tame cobalt]

Fart

[arctic grove]

They pretty much plan on doing a y2 pass

[slender isle]

I mean, clearly people want a year 2

[tame cobalt]

Pog

[arctic grove]

Pleasant suprise after hearing “they’ll do the bare minimum then drop it” for the last year

[slender isle]

^^^^^^%%

[mental delta]

[arctic grove]

I think the killfeeds have always been in the top right/left of the screen right? A bit “closer” to a more classic experience

[mental delta]

If it's a 1 map per season plan I'm fine with not getting a year 2

[arctic grove]

That’s plausible but I think they can at least inch up to two maps a season since they won’t be bogged down redesigning the launch maps

[slender isle]

Top left seems to still be chat, top right is kill feed stuff

[slender isle]

In Y2 definitely

Either that or a portal map

[heavy sandal]

are they planning to let us chat with the other team?

like on old bf

[shy latch]

hopefully not, it's better like this

[arctic grove]

Probably not. That type of thing gets removed and usually stays gone

[slender isle]

Not really

[heavy sandal]

it is too quiet

[slender isle]

I went back to bf1 and the amount of racist shit that got sent from team to team was extraordinary

[shy latch]

too much toxicity if been able to text with enemy team

[mental delta]

My expectations are low lad, I see a 1 map per season, no new Portal maps and only a few weapons

[arctic grove]

Ever since 2042 came out with DICEs reasoning for removing it BF chat has been worst

People go back play the other games just to say stupid shit

[slender isle]

more shit will come next year no doubt about it

Like why wouldn’t it?

There’s no map redesigns. So they can basically just take a portal map (which needs no new concept art etc) and make it in the 2042 engine

[mental delta]

I would like it comrade but this game set up my expectations so low I don't even plan to see at least 1 nez Portal map

[arctic grove]

If they wanted to do the bare minimum with 1 map, 3 guns, skins, I doubt they would have done a y2 period basically

[warped pulsar]

I'm sure they can deliver more than 1 map for year 2. This year suffered content, in order to fix everything wrong in the game. Gameplay and maps

[mental delta]

We didn't have a BF for 3 years and eventually got 2 maps and 5 weapons in 1 year so...

[arctic grove]

Well remember that ties into what happened with this game before it’s launch

[slender isle]

Yeah but it’s the only bf game to have more than 1.5 years of content so

[arctic grove]

It’s no secret now that DICE was poorly managed and trained during COVID on an upgraded version of the frostbite engine

Alongside time crunches and deadlines set by ea

[slender isle]

Also, the content for the first year is basically “4 new maps, some new weapons, complete gameplay redesign, entire maps reworked, portal coming into AOW, plus other things we’ve complained about coming into the game”

Year 1 is “add content but also fix everything”

[mental delta]

I hope you guys are right but I don't expect a way more content personnally

[arctic grove]

I mean I doubt 4 maps 5 guns a season or anything yk

[mental delta]

2 maps per season would be the decent minimum for a year 2, maybe 1 Portal map sometimes and that would be fair

[sharp marten]

You also have to put in account how difficult these maps are to make

[warped pulsar]

I remember people where hyping up the cancelation of the game back in Feb, like an Anthem style cancelation.

[slender isle]

I doubt we’d get much more than an extra map and maybe 5 guns a season.

We might see 12 vault weapons though

[sharp marten]

I don’t expect more than one map would 2 be nice yes but who knows

[slender isle]

You know, 3 an update

[arctic grove]

They’re being made for both 64 and 128 players and now have a new set of guidelines to follow for the map design. It can’t be big but it can’t be small. It can’t be open but it can’t be overly packed. Etc

[slender isle]

They have a design philosophy around the game now which is great

And with all the improvements it seems to be going on it’s way to basically be a modern day bfV without the fortifications

And better gunplay lmao

[arctic grove]

Live service so far has been disappointing for V and was looking up to being even worst for 2042 but I wanna see what they’ll do with Y2 with the model

[arctic grove]

I hope it becomes like that. More in line with the classic games, maybe redesign the menus to reflect that unique menu V/1/4 etc had, revamp 1 and 3rd person anims, etc

[warped pulsar]

I guess we gotta wait for after S3 to get a sneak peek at Year 2 content, or atleast some sort of additional info around new year eve

[slender isle]

Honestly, I don’t think the hud for 2042 is bad, I just wish we were able to customise the colour of like the weapon tray bit
