[upbeat sand]

All in different situations

[hexed mango]

[upbeat sand]

You try what you like

Find what fits you

[stoic wyvern]

K, I will get better or worse, today was not my day. What do you want from me! I'm not a gamer Dad. Sorry I don't carry the skill sets

[limpid pond]

Mp5 when

[next onyx]

Kill me

[upbeat sand]

We have mp5 at home

[hexed mango]

read around that message please

[limpid pond]

Ah yes the pbx

[upbeat sand]

Mp9

[placid echo]

I can do that in the game if you'd like

[limpid pond]

Mp9 isn't the same as the mp5

[placid echo]

I could use more dog-tags for my collection >:p

[upbeat sand]

Screw this. Goes vcar

[limpid pond]

Recon after he kills way

[placid echo]

Nah I won't teabag, but I will give a thumbs-up

[next onyx]

I don't need to be fucking tilted any further

This pistol is pushing it.

[spice burrow]

its mandatory to tbag after getting some tags

[limpid pond]

Lmao I wish I could join eu servers. I'd kill you then tbag you for fun

[limpid pond]

I heard the burst is kinda slow

Like inbetween bursts it's slow but it's a fast burst

[spice burrow]

is it better than the g57?

[arctic grove]

Dip dip potato chip

W for battlefield for not being worse than Pokemon

[solar obsidian]

sold 10 millions already

[summer zenith]

L for pokemon

[solar obsidian]

completely

thats why nintendo dont need refund policy

loss for all gamers

[arctic grove]

Bro i see a corelation of bf fans and pokemon fans.

Bf 2042 sold that much too right?

[solar obsidian]

we never got sales numbers on bf2042

[arctic grove]

Oh right. I only heard that alot pre ordered 2042

[solar obsidian]

yeah

[arctic grove]

but im sure it was a decent number

[solar obsidian]

properly

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/ea-ceo-battlefield-2042-sales-were-disappointing

but mr "generic final boss" where not happy

[arctic grove]

Too bad a lot won’t come back

True

Why tf do Bf games always launch bad💀

[glossy storm]

4 million, IIRC.

[arctic grove]

game is in a much better state.

[stoic wyvern]

I wanna put a bullet through my skull

[arctic grove]

With the exception of hardline and bf1

[arctic grove]

Yea obv but it’s like a werid curse

[solar obsidian]

dennis, take a break and relax

[glossy storm]

I got this from Nick930's documentary.

[arctic grove]

Game is out of beta and in launch condition

Which is good

I’m a level 112 in 2042💀

Gonna hop on 2042 if anyone wants to join me

[arctic grove]

level 134 for me

[arctic grove]

I’ll join after me laundry

[solar obsidian]

it always take a year for battlefield to become "launch state" after 4 released

[arctic grove]

And shower

[solar obsidian]

im gonna eat

sleep

[arctic grove]

except hardline and 1

[glossy storm]

ok but b carful 😧 you might dye 😰😰😱

[solar obsidian]

one was good not gonna lie

hardline, never played it beside beta

[arctic grove]

I don’t like bf1 guns

true i was referring to launch state

Also zex

[stoic wyvern]

Dope

[arctic grove]

you main fox in super smash?

[glossy storm]

BF1 is always my first choice, TBH.

[summer zenith]

Why not?

[arctic grove]

Ehhhh

IDFK I just don’t like using them

bf1 guns is alright

[solar obsidian]

he is one of my top 5 roster,

but have not played since wiiU

[arctic grove]

i like the Perrino and chautau and the huat

[solar obsidian]

captain falcon is main

picture is a novelty from star fox 64

[arctic grove]

Also I still don’t know why I can barely find matches in bf1

[glossy storm]

I love the SMLE and Automatica.

[arctic grove]

Nice. I main link and Snake to troll

I like chrom too

[spice burrow]

make sure youre using the server browser and the correct filters

[glossy storm]

Gewehr too.

[arctic grove]

I am💀

[arctic grove]

best star fox game imo

[spice burrow]

platform?

[solar obsidian]

imagine if we had discord when melee released

[arctic grove]

Ps5

[spice burrow]

thats why

[arctic grove]

u guys on pc with a good+ pc use ads FOV ?

[arctic grove]

oh god that be cursed

[spice burrow]

playstation bf1 is the most dead unfortunately

[solar obsidian]

link spam op

[arctic grove]

facts

[arctic grove]

Welll shit

[solar obsidian]

yes im very highly skilled and i use it

[arctic grove]

Waste of money

[arctic grove]

i got series x so we can play with pc master race players

if u have good eyes it seems op

literally less recoil lmao

[solar obsidian]

65" 4k oled helps

[arctic grove]

i just use a 27inch 144z 1440p

but can still see ppl well enuf

[solar obsidian]

thats the important part

[spice burrow]

to all pc players make sure to occasionally delete the contents of your cache folder

that gained me like 20 fps the other day

[arctic grove]

cap

[solar obsidian]

i would not trust that without a benchmark in game

[hard geyser]

What yall think of the update so far?

i thin this is the best this game has ever been lol

[arctic grove]

SO FUCKING GOOD

[hard geyser]

i really love the music 🙂 pls more music like this

[arctic grove]

AND BREAKAWAY AND MANIFEST GETTING REWORKS

[solar obsidian]

beside, i would not delete my cache and have all the microstutters back every time it needs to load in new shaders

[spice burrow]

i had 60-80 then after i had 95-105

[solar obsidian]

back to this

[arctic grove]

tho tbh I’m more hype for season 4 map reworks

[hard geyser]

yea hourglass rework would be so awesome

thats my fav map without a rework.

[spice burrow]

I've not had a single microstutter after i did that

[arctic grove]

Discarded is goin to be good aswell

[spice burrow]

not doing so only worsens your performance

[hard geyser]

can't imagine if tthey do a breakaway remake on hourglass. would be crazy

[solar obsidian]

never had issues

[next onyx]

I heard morse in spearhead.

[solar obsidian]

but testing without a controlled test with very specific servers with the same amount of players and running the same path,

[next onyx]

I need to confirm it.

[solar obsidian]

and not recording it is just not good enough in 2022

[arctic grove]

Aight fellas im in. Feels free to join whenever u guys want. INCLUDING YOU WAY

[next onyx]

Also shotguns were buffed this update.

When I'm done grinding this pistol I will another time.

[solar obsidian]

i cant "wayt" for the tears

[copper fulcrum]

No.

[spice burrow]

imagine its a 2042 version of the peacekeeper

[arctic grove]

ENGINEERS REJOICE

Understandable

[next onyx]

Shotguns are cringe.

[spice burrow]

true that

[next onyx]

Might as well abuse them before they get truly nerfed.

[spice burrow]

id rather abuse the rorsch before they gut it once the vehicle main tears gets heard

[arctic grove]

Nah most of em are crying to the V90

The second gun u unlock on that thing makes it a sniper

[hexed mango]

me in mw2 with plat shotguns

[arctic grove]

I literally shot down multiple condors on the other side of the map on spearhead💀

It’s honestly a better AA

[sturdy patio]

Does anyone know to fix that stupid Slow Motion bug

[arctic grove]

Slow motion bug?

[solar obsidian]

i have shield plat

knife too

[sturdy patio]

Yeah, basically everything moved in slow mo, effects, shots, tanks, cars, planes, helis, environment, teammates and more, but only in your screen.

[solar obsidian]

sounds like lag

[arctic grove]

Yea don’t know abt that

[sturdy patio]

72 ms

[arctic grove]

Never gotten that one before

[sturdy patio]

Nope, checked that

Something weird though

For others it looks normal

Also the frames are proper

Only slow moted

So it also doesn't feel like lag

[solar obsidian]

enable the performance and network related alerts you can get in game

[sturdy patio]

I dod

Did

[solar obsidian]

hmm

no idea

[sturdy patio]

It shows nothing much

[solar obsidian]

check bf2042 forum

[sturdy patio]

Weird bug

Statted happening after 3.0 update

For me at least

[limpid pond]

I'm literally using the shotgun instantly

It's better than all smgs

[bitter skiff]

Yo boin

[limpid pond]

Yo mama

Ha gottem

[ember nimbus]

Is it just me or did the update really mess up the sky

[royal swan]

Almost to railgun tank

Just 8 more dots

[ember nimbus]

The skybox will sometimes start having this rapidly blinking shadow... Polygon thing, almost like the shadow system was completely and utterly shattered

[royal swan]

Finally 1.5 kd

Let's goo

[odd loom]

does anyone knows if I can play BF2042 with friends on xbox game pass?

[copper fulcrum]

Question, what makes you think you can't?

[royal swan]

We finally got Taliban McKay in the store

[next onyx]

Pistol hundy bomb.

[hexed mango]

sexy

[next onyx]

BT kinda easier to do it on because of the force combat scenarios.

Got a guy with the throwing knife right as they were revived.

[primal sleet]

same here bro

[tame cobalt]

Stranded is a fantastic example of how not to design a conquest map

[copper fulcrum]

It's nice.

[tame cobalt]

95% of players are in the useless ship sector while the other 5% have to take up responsibility for actually playing the game mode properly

[royal swan]

3 more dots so close

I can taste it

[tame cobalt]

Stranded conquest is anti-ptfo map design

[royal swan]

Got 35 kills with railgun so close to t2

[tame cobalt]

well i almost got xm8

Kinda been poppin off wit lcmg

[royal swan]

One more game of multiplayer until I get my railgun tank

[tame cobalt]

I like how the vault weapon challenges make you learn a weapon you might not have used much

[tepid agate]

Then go to DMZ? 😄

[royal swan]

Nah, never plan to play that mode

It's off to sleep

Then play more battlefield tomorrow

[tepid agate]

All good haha

[royal swan]

389 hours, plan on getting it to 500

[tame cobalt]

Just unfortunate that there's not much incentive to actually use the vault weapons

[royal swan]

Not in one go obviously

[tepid agate]

How come you're S40? I don't think I have that hours 👀 or I hope I haven't 😄

[ember meteor]

Guys I have a question

[copper fulcrum]

and then there's me

[royal swan]

Because I don't sweat my balls off that much, just casual play

[ember meteor]

If you buy bf2042 on steam, can you play with people who bought it on EA/Origin?

[tepid agate]

I'm S80 but I'm a boots on the ground player. Maybe just captured a lot of objectives because I have more assist than kills I'm this game

[copper fulcrum]

S630

[tepid agate]

Lol

[royal swan]

I rarely touch vehicles so my rank is deserved unlike most

[tepid agate]

I doubt I'll ever get to 150 lol probably realistically I can get over 100 through the season passes

[tepid agate]

Same here. Some like vehicles some like more player Vs player combat

Some can go on like 100-0 killstreaks in vehicles

No chance you could see someone do that on foot lol

[copper fulcrum]

The TOR is good

[tame cobalt]

Vehicle are fun, except when it's a vehicle sweat

BF should make a special SBMM that just lumps all the vehicle sweats together. Fuck them

[calm bison]

No

[tame cobalt]

It would actually improve the game. I hope they actually do it.

[calm bison]

That’s still kind of a shitty idea

[tame cobalt]

No it isn't.

[tepid agate]

Especially before they were patched in 2042 spammers were using that transport Heli as the best attack vehicle in the game lol

[calm bison]

If both teams have sweaty pilots no one wins except the pilots

[copper fulcrum]

Get destroyed

[calm bison]

I think there should be SBMM for infantry sweats. Fuck them

[tame cobalt]

Vehicle sweats are the most fun-ruining thing in Battlefield by far

[calm bison]

I mean anything that allows people to get good at something is bound to have its sweats and it’s noobs

You simply can’t get rid of vehicle sweats

[tame cobalt]

You can

Sbmm

Cope

[tepid agate]

Can't get rid of them but you can make it more challenging for them

[calm bison]

SBMM is actually fucking cringe

[arctic grove]

Railgun tank

[tepid agate]

Tone the power of them

[calm bison]

Unless it’s a competitive ranked mode

[tepid agate]

I never used that thing yet. Unless it because I missions I'll try it

[arctic grove]

Literally the railgun tank is the perfect counter to ur annoying vehicle enemy

[arctic grove]

Maxed it out holy shit it is a beast

[tame cobalt]

Not when it takes vehicle sweats out of casual lobbies. That would just objectively improve the game for 99% of the playerbase

[tepid agate]

Well, that new map has more cover inside so less chance to meet them

[calm bison]

2042 has a stupid amount of AT options

[calm bison]

So what about the infantry sweats

[tepid agate]

Nah I'm not a big fan of 2042. I know I'm S80 but don't let those numbers fool you 😆

[calm bison]

Surely they should be SBMM’d

[crimson basin]

same, and it feels like it's worse in 2042 than it has ever been.

[arctic grove]

when u have the second gun for the V90 Tor your instantly playing sniper ghost warrior as a tank

[tame cobalt]

No one cares about them in bf. They're whatever

[royal swan]

OOOH SHIT IM ABOUT TO T1 MCKAY

[tepid agate]

Congrats

[royal swan]

3 kills left

I didn't even know

It's all of that railgun shooting

[calm bison]

So infantry sweats get a pass but the moment someone competent gets in a chopper we need to fuck them over?

[tame cobalt]

Yes.

[royal swan]

Yep

[tepid agate]

Who were your first T1 specialists? Mine was Rao some weeks after launch

[next onyx]

Mine was Mackay.

[calm bison]

Same

He is by far the easiest to T1

[royal swan]

Paik

[tepid agate]

If your good in vehicles he can do it fast with Mackey

[royal swan]

It was when she was op

T1 yes

[calm bison]

Remember when they put SBMM in BFV’s breakthrough and people hated it? I remember

[arctic grove]

I’m still trying to get lis’

[tepid agate]

I think borris took longest for me

[calm bison]

Boris is just time consuming

[pastel loom]

good riddance
matchmaking should never be dictated

[tepid agate]

I gave up with Liz and dozer lol

Those new specialist no way

[tepid agate]

Did it defending on bt

[calm bison]

Exactly. I find it weird that 128 people should be essentially fucked over because 4% of them are sweaty

[tame cobalt]

Spearhead LOD kinda low on ps5

Looks amazing maxed out on pc tho

[calm bison]

Sounds like a you problem

[tepid agate]

Better hope you have some sweaty boots on the ground players if you have sweaty pilots because no way AI is shooting them down they never have lock ons

[tame cobalt]

So the art team did a good job, but the engine is still holding it back

[calm bison]

It always seems like there’s gonna be something

Everyone has access to AT stuff

The railgun damages vehicles

Lis is annoying against tanks

[tepid agate]

AI can't use that

[solar obsidian]

mate, just get a couple of nasa pcs and you are good

[tepid agate]

They can fight against infantry but AI is poor against vehicles

[white geyser]

I can't wait to unlock the railgun, it's just like back in BF4 using the railgun they added

[calm bison]

You are aware it’s AI right? If you’re farming AI that’s not something to brag about

AI is filler

[tame cobalt]

Kek

[calm bison]

“Guys look at me I’m so good I took out a couple of clueless AI!”

[tepid agate]

Yeah ai is in most matches. Maybe not right now because it's the start of a new season but after a couple of weeks they will be back

I think you're understanding me wrong lol I am not proud about killing ai 😆

[calm bison]

AI isn’t really a problem

When servers are full there will always be someone who has it out to kill you

I was flying my F-35 just today

Every pass I was always locked on to

[tepid agate]

I'm saying when both teams have AI, the ai can fight against the other ground players but poor against vehicles, hence, more power for the vehicle players

[calm bison]

Ok but at that point it means nothing

It’s AI

If you’re sweating against AI what difference does it make

[tepid agate]

It means something because AI is on your team 😆

[white geyser]

There's so much to rework this game, like adding a server browser in AOW and rework co-op too

[tepid agate]

Because you'll lose the game if someone is sweating against your ai

[calm bison]

If someone is sweating against your AI they’re not very good to begin with

[tepid agate]

Vehicles players will destroy ai with no threat

Give ai lock ons to give it a bit more challenging

[calm bison]

But why does that matter

AI often disappear as soon as servers fill up

And they tend to fill up quickly unless it’s portal

[white geyser]

The AI suck, they couldn't aim straight to shoot the target

[tepid agate]

It matters because vehicle players will get the headstart

[calm bison]

How

[tepid agate]

Because they will clean out ai lol

[calm bison]

AI spawns like a hydra regrows heads

[tepid agate]

Every time AI dies your team lose a ticket

If pilots are wrecking them at the beginning of matches

That's the headstart they will have

[calm bison]

I’m really beginning to lose interest in this debate because at the end of the day if someone is sweating in AOW in a vehicle there will always be someone to kill it

[tepid agate]

So that's why I'm saying AI should have a better chance against vehicles

[calm bison]

I rarely see people go on huge streaks in vehicles

[tepid agate]

Okay let's end the debate on that note haha

🍻

[calm bison]

It’s 2 in the morning I need to slep

[royal swan]

Finally got the railgun tank and a unexpected t1 specialist

[arctic grove]

Tbh the rail gun tank is only good against long engagements

And strictly against vehicles

[next onyx]

Time for pizza.

Yeah the new tank is essentially a tank destroyer.

[graceful sonnet]

anyone else have bad ping since update?

[royal swan]

Chill way

Appreciate the fucking grind

It won't feel that rewarding if you can do it in less than 24 hours

[serene cliff]

Does anyone know why they didn't add a server browser? For people like me in OCE, it's almost impossible to find a game, especially since lobbies get disbanded after every game.

[royal swan]

Server maintenance

That's why

[serene cliff]

Kinda weird since there's a browser in literally every other battlefield game lol

[royal swan]

Well they got protal

And its server browser

I believe the server maintenance goes mostly there

And they can't just get another server browser

[serene cliff]

Seems strange that they would dedicate all of their maintenance to a mode that is meant to be secondary to the experience

especially since many people (including me previously) get turned off because that part of the game is missing.

[royal swan]

Also it's new devs

Most of the OG devs are gone

[serene cliff]

Can't blame them with how the original product turned out lol

[royal swan]

Oh no

[serene cliff]

Luckily it's been consistently improving

[royal swan]

That's not the reason

Most of them planned to leave before battlefield 2042

[wide shore]

[calm bison]

How in the fuck

[royal swan]

The whole out with the old devs and in with new devs fucked this game

[calm bison]

Alright I’m gonna ask you this question Way

What does grass feel like and have you taken a shower recently

[royal swan]

You ain't going to get a similar experience when you got brand new devs with no battlefield experience and old devs not giving their best because who would do that when they are leaving

[next onyx]

Grass feels nice and bladey and I went to the gym yesterday. That's when I have a shower most of time.

[calm bison]

I don’t believe you

You looked that up

[royal swan]

Appreciate the grind, you won't feel as satisfied if you just do it under 24 hours

[next onyx]

I'll feel satisfied getting them done as soon as possible.

300 kills left to go on the pistol.

[royal swan]

It's sad, it's like seeing someone eat food fast and doesn't enjoy it

[next onyx]

But I am enjoying it.

I'm enjoying the guns we have.

[upbeat sand]

Spearhead lore: the final ikea open as it mass produces meatballs and chairs and delivers them from the mega drones on the map

Us and Russia fight over the last tables ikea has in stock before bankruptcy

[royal swan]

What else is there to do when you t1 everything

[next onyx]

Get more kills with certain weapons.

[upbeat sand]

Feel empty because you have nothing left

[royal swan]

Nothing to work for

[upbeat sand]

Or wait for weekly missions

[royal swan]

Yep

[upbeat sand]

Or just grind for battlepass and badge

[royal swan]

It becomes pointless

Once you have done everything the only thing worth doing is wait

[upbeat sand]

Get t1 on everything else

Gadgets and grenades

Actually I'll give you a attah boy if you get 5 kills with the concussion grenade

[royal swan]

This game needs service stars

It's never ending until like 999

[lilac dust]

For the past 3 days I wake up so giddy to play more season 3 🤓 GG's DICE. It's a banger

[edgy oriole]

[lilac dust]

Is it not a banger for you?

[upbeat sand]

I still haven't seen that 1 point on the map explode

Like in the map trailer

[edgy oriole]

I almost called into work today

[upbeat sand]

I forgot what point it was

[lilac dust]

Ohhhh LMAO

I read into your emoji too much

I just woke up

[edgy oriole]

[lilac dust]

🤓

I only have boomer emojis

[next onyx]

Oh Beans I know what you're on about.

[edgy oriole]

I got a game schedule set up for my days off. Boy I'm finna be gamin

[upbeat sand]

I've been awake for more than 6 hours

[next onyx]

At the last sector an out of map cube blows up.

U.S Side.

[lilac dust]

What time is it?

[edgy oriole]

[green ore]

Can someone pls explain me why i get disconnected with every single connection timeout even when its just one hop. Its 2022 and games from last decade could handle this lel

[upbeat sand]

6:53

Pm

[lilac dust]

Well damn

7:53am for me

[pastel loom]

10:56am

[next onyx]

@low timber How good was Oasis on bad co 2?

[lilac dust]

I wish exercising your legs in spearhead transferred itself to IRL

[upbeat sand]

hourglass simulator

[lilac dust]

We never see our characters drinking any water while in hourglass. I don't know how they do it

Although if you stand still long enough you will sneeze, so at least DICE got their priorities straight on realism 🤣

[upbeat sand]

what happened to the sneeze

i havent seen it since launch

[lilac dust]

I saw it last season

Probably RNG

[violet talon]

i got Tier 1 skin on railgun

[grand prism]

I wanna know why the season 3 menu theme makes me cry xD

[violet talon]

bcuz even lunching season 3 with good map

BF2042 didnt get in Steam chart

[grand prism]

Hmm

I just like the song

[tepid agate]

I need you as the third friend in DMZ to grind the missions. Your grind is real.

[slender isle]

More players playing now than the past 10 months though

Just non we can look at

[lilac dust]

As a conquest guy this map on breakthrough rocks!

[grand prism]

Ikr @lilac dust

[tepid agate]

I bet Irish has never been as more important as in season 3.

[lilac dust]

Also I must admit as someone who just tier 1'd the nightbird I am very happy with the change to remove attack helis in breakthrough

I would always prefer to use them in conquest

[lilac dust]

He was pretty nuts in season 1, but yeah the addition of zain makes him super nutty

[tepid agate]

Yeah if you want to win as a team you're going to need a few of Irish. If nobody selecting him will be pretty hard to win.

Defenders anyways

[winter vault]

This game sucks ass

Bring on the next game devs

[tepid agate]

Not everyone's cup of tea

[winter vault]

[lilac dust]

Wait really? Shit I might have to uninstall then. Didn't know it was that bad. I'm playing it right now but if you say it sucks I'm just gonna uninstall

[tepid agate]

Beat the haters with sarcasm 😈

[lilac dust]

Show them how little fucks you give

[tepid agate]

I may come like a hater too sometimes but I still do play, just once a week for missions that's all I have interest for 😄 but I used to grind it pretty good I guess

[winter vault]

Games so dead that it doesn’t have haters

[tepid agate]

It's a lot better since launch 😉

[lilac dust]

Shit really? I was gonna tell my friends about the game but if you say it's dead I'll pass

[tepid agate]

What don't you like about the game? Maybe you have something the other haters haven't said? 😄

2 more hours of work and then you know what time it is?

DMZ that's my hype 🤪

Gunna interrogate some people

[lilac dust]

Go Cole Phelps on their asses

[slender isle]

Wait, Meatpie is back?

Forgot he existed for a second

[winter vault]

https://youtu.be/QFcv5Ma8u8k

[low timber]

Good, but I guess I’d prefer the BC1 more

[gloomy otter]

Oasis was good when the server was full to it's brink

[bold delta]

anotehr day of me asking for server browser

[topaz field]

anyone has a tutorial video how to use the air burst gun on console? I suck with it

[low timber]

Aim, lock the distance, fire

[pine roost]

kill

easy win

[topaz field]

but i either shootwayy pass enemy or wayy before

[slender isle]

Try locking the distance on the cover they are hiding behind

[rain sparrow]

helölo

i search a teammate

[lilac dust]

Bruh I got pre fired by an AI

I have a skill issue

[tall valley]

new season brings lots of newbies, and they ruin the game by spawning tank and heli, then dont know how to use, or spam wildcat without anti air

it just exhausted in those games

[chilly jacinth]

Cry about it

[tall valley]

some1 just took the hind and jump out, give it to enemy

im so fkin tired of the new waves of newbies

[lilac dust]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I just realized you can toggle the base sight on the railgun

Only too me 100 kills to realize 🤓

[tall valley]

Press F right :)) that feel very similar to the special scope of the Red Legendary M5A3

[prisma zinc]

i just met a cheater first time

Faiy_Peach is nick

he is rage cheating rn

reported

[upbeat sand]

Ai is extremely accurate from what I've seen

Getting beamed by Svk and headshot by Gvt

[river sequoia]

But the enemy team also have newbies. Use that to your advantage

[zinc arrow]

why does everyone hate bf2042

i played 4/5 and didnt like either

but i love 2042

[granite island]

The tank is cool

[slender isle]

Launch was horrendous and the no classes people didn't like

[granite island]

Just wish I could aim higher when Siege mode

[slender isle]

also maps and specialists were tonally different to what the games story portays

[zinc arrow]

yes i agree BOTH of those were negatives, but currently its fun

[granite island]

Personally I love the specialists

[zinc arrow]

i play overwatch

[granite island]

Much better than the class system

[slender isle]

All of these negatives are being fixed/changed though

[zinc arrow]

i primarily play hero shooters so i agree

i just hope the game doesnt get shut down

if i wanna play this in a couple years i hope i can

i actually enjoy it

[granite island]

I just hope that year 2 is actual content

[zinc arrow]

https://medal.tv/games/battlefield-2042/clips/JCTvX7J9271dV/d1337RVr39Hv?invite=cr-MSxKdm8sMTgyNDg2NCw

[granite island]

Like maps and other stuff

[zinc arrow]

yeah

you mean new stuff right

[slender isle]

You've got at least 12 months left of content. Possible Y2 coming (so that makes it 16 months or longer)

[upbeat sand]

I call in a tank and then as it comes down my squad mate takes it and dosent get out

[zinc arrow]

i didnt mean of content, i meant of being able to find a match

with crossplay hopefully it doesnt fully die'

[granite island]

Be a mackay

Grapple tank while it's in air

[slender isle]

Oh that'll go forever as long as there are players. Especially portal

[zinc arrow]

yeah and with crossplay it shouldnt die i presume

[granite island]

Gamepass should make the game more alive too

[zinc arrow]

yes

and eventual sales

its $20

[granite island]

The game is on sale for 28 dollars rn

On ps

[zinc arrow]

yeah

PC $20

[granite island]

Lucky

[zinc arrow]

19.79

but yeah

i do see why normal battlefield players were alienated though

but the game CURRENTLY is not inherently bad

[slender isle]

I always forget that S3 isn't the end of the game, We have another update in like 3 weeks, then another update probably 5th of jan, then another on the 20th of jan. Then we have S4 in Feb

I'm excited

[slender isle]

No classes, bad maps, bad launch, tone, and also lack of destruction were all factors

But again, they are all being added and fixed and changed to be the way "BF veterans" want

[zinc arrow]

im trying to make a game in ue5, and im taking hints from the animations in modern warfare and bf2042

it amazes me how they animate their weapons

and it makes them feel more fluid to play

[granite island]

Why do the cubes in the background keep exploding

I heard them explode like 5 times

In 1 match

[slender isle]

Making sure they're down

[slender isle]

Should check out lower budget games like insurgency sandstorm, maybe check out Zero hour

[next onyx]

@low timber @hexed mango

[low timber]

Touch some snow

[merry furnace]

nice season 04 end trailer battlefield ii

[next onyx]

Time to go to falls creek.

[low timber]

How close are you unlocking the shotgun?

[next onyx]

5 more tokens.

[low timber]

And then you’ll T1 it in a day?

[next onyx]

Yeah.

It's already pretty late here so I'll get it done tomorrow.

[wheat comet]

Wtf

[next onyx]

Get the attachments for it first though that's a definite.

[wheat comet]

Is it possible to get the season 2 cosmetics? I didn't have the time to get them

[slender isle]

Is it good?

[next onyx]

It's ok.

It's a replacement for the mp28 if you're looking for something new and shiny.

[wanton badge]

It’s only been 1 day, Save some for the rest of us 😂

[next onyx]

I got a clip where I was just on the last 10 and counting up to it haha.

[slender isle]

not the G57?

[next onyx]

G57 is very good on burst.

[slender isle]

not this>

[next onyx]

Nah.

Burst has an annoying delay.

[sturdy prism]

Definition of grass : ...idk look it up then go outside

[merry furnace]

battlefield 2024. 💕

[slender isle]

Is it a solid pistol though? like is it a good replacement for the rex for example

[next onyx]

Rex kills quicker but punishes you more.

This is less punishing.

[slender isle]

Cool, I'm excited to use it tbh

[wanton badge]

I hadn’t even noticed the G57 had a burst mode lol

[upbeat sand]

No.

[wanton badge]

Ok fair call

[lilac dust]

Well 3 days but who's counting

[merry furnace]

copy battlfield4

[wanton badge]

True doesn’t feel like three days but I suppose been lifing

[arctic grove]

im disappointed that bf 2042 doesnt have as good optimization as modern warfare 2

[scarlet cloak]

[chilly jacinth]

2042 runs better than mw2 does for me

[arctic grove]

and bf 2042 gives us specialists instead of generic soldiers

specialists bad

generic soldiers good

bf4 is the shit

[slender isle]

Mw2 literally has the same thing lmao wtf are you on about

[arctic grove]

at least mw has a campaign

bf2042 needs a campaign

i want a continuation of bf4

[slender isle]

You can turn your specialist into whatever generic shit you want. and it's more optimised than mw2 is

[arctic grove]

i get 80 fps max settings on mw2 and i get less fps on bf2042

on max settings

lol

[slender isle]

Dude what? I hit 120fps ultra settings at 1440p with the S3 update

[arctic grove]

whats ur specs

[eager spire]

that strikes me as cap i don't believe that even a little bit

[slender isle]

I'm pretty sure that's what I'm getting. It sits around 100-120 with the new update

[arctic grove]

also what the heck happened to levolution in bf2042

[eager spire]

also i don't agree, 2042's lore is so barely there that I don't think a campaign would be worth making.

[slender isle]

It's definitely there you just don't choose to look at it

[arctic grove]

should be a continuation of bf4

[slender isle]

3070 and an i7 12700k

[arctic grove]

im using rtx 3060 laptop

of course u get more fps than me

[eager spire]

i mean it's certainly there but it doesn't really seem to matter at all

[arctic grove]

especially the rtx 3060 on a laptop is weaker than the pc version

[eager spire]

like it's there to be background noise for whatever's going on

[slender isle]

Use DLSS then, thats the point it is there

[arctic grove]

i hate dlss, input lag

and it somehow makes the game feel more choppy

[eager spire]

ahh

[arctic grove]

even tho it shows more frames per second

[eager spire]

i see, you can't actually run the game that well, you just run DLSS.

[next onyx]

Slow down with the stickers man.

[eager spire]

shut face

[arctic grove]

shut ass

[chilly jacinth]

dlss does almost nothing if you're cpu bound

[slender isle]

Not really? It's the entire reason we're getting these operators and maps, as they all lead on from one another. You also get the player cards with clues on what is going on behind the scenes and also what happened prior to the game.

[chilly jacinth]

which almost everyone is

[arctic grove]

bf4 still better

2013 battlefield slams 2042 battlefield

(real)

[slender isle]

Did you play this time in the life cycle of bf4? still ran like shit

[eager spire]

to be fair the entire reason we're getting the operators and maps is because DICE has to release content for the game. Let's not kid ourselves here.

[arctic grove]

Like what the hell happened to the levolution in bf2042

[arctic grove]

i get 150 fps there on every setting maxed

[slender isle]

Dice removed it due to overwhelming criticism in the game after BF4...

[eager spire]

What the hell happened to the levolution
who actually cared about that tho

[arctic grove]

I think ur saying that bcuz theres no dlss in bf4

[eager spire]

like genuinely

[arctic grove]

it was fun

lmao

[slender isle]

No shit, I get like 400fps on doom, just cause it's an older game

[arctic grove]

Entire buildings collapsing is funny

[eager spire]

...I don't agree, i feel like it was a technical showcase more than anything and nobody cared after launch.

[arctic grove]

okay

I want battlefield 6

[slender isle]

Bf1 arguably had better destruction than bf4, with player created levolution of the map. Rather than pre designed

[arctic grove]

a continuation of bf4

[eager spire]

What would that even be like

[arctic grove]

it does thus bf1 is bettee than bf2042

[eager spire]

what is there in BF4 that could've been continued

[arctic grove]

Russia is now ur enemy

In bf4 it was China and some russian soldiers

Now its the entirety of russia

[eager spire]

Oh wow, what a twist, what a radical new concept that has never been done in a FPS game before

[arctic grove]

Thats my idea

[arctic grove]

oof

i guess that seems overused

[eager spire]

YOU THINK

[arctic grove]

north korea

then

Bf6 idea
Takes place in 2030
ur enemy are North Koreans

[eager spire]

ok but why

[slender isle]

Also, levolution is literally in 2042. You seen the rocket? or the discarded ships? what about the explosive oil tanks on breakaway? or how about the cranes on manifest that move? Or the doors that shut when a tornado comes through on renewal? Or the storm on Hourglass?

[arctic grove]

and you have to kill Nim Wong Jun

[eager spire]

:I

okay but why

[arctic grove]

yes

cuz i just wanna see what happens to recker after bf4

and how he doin

[lilac dust]

Unpopular opinion : Battlefield 2042 is fully intended to be atmospheric music, not music to jam to like BF4. Chernobyl and Joker were the same. Same composer. Same intention

I will still admit some tracks missed the mark in 2042 tho.

[eager spire]

i donno the OST for 2042 is just kind of mid overall

i like atmospheric stuff as much as the next guy but i don't care for 2042's OST.

[lilac dust]

I would much prefer 2042's music had more of a jam to factor like BF4

[wide shore]

There’s a few bangers. The mainline theme sounds great with the distressed fog horns. Really sets the tone they seemed like they were going for.

[lilac dust]

If 2042 actually stuck to it's vision I don't think I'd mind some of the music as much, but it feels out of place or at least most of it did for the first year of the game

[wide shore]

Yeah it seemed something was really lost along the way.

[eager spire]

I think people overestimated the tone from how DICE were talking about it before the launch. Like, I genuinely believe they only mentioned the climate change bit to get people talking.

[wide shore]

Cause they way the music is produced it’s very dreary and depressing. Many sampled sounds of distressing everyday scary shit.

But the game is exactly the opposite

[arctic grove]

the soundtrack, map themes and general setting can be taken seriously imo as opposed to how the gameplay ultimately binds it together

but ive said why i think that 900 times so

[eager spire]

I swear DICE also had to make a "we're not trying to make a political statement" with that comment as well.

I don't think they ever had the guts to work with the theme they had created before the game was made.

[arctic grove]

ill say it again although its no suprise but specialists were 2042s worst decision imo

[lilac dust]

I think a lot of the music would have excelled in an extremely scary and depressing tone campaign. One that plays out like The Last of Us 2 in terms of absolutely soul crushing depression.

[lone wren]

sheesh the rorsch is quite a wonder weapon

[arctic grove]

from a dice pr, immersion, theme, and familiar gameplay experience standpoints

[wide shore]

Agreed. But for some reason along the way they flipped on what they wanted the game to be. But kept the music. So now there’s this clash between what was and what is.

[next onyx]

The soundtrack within the context of the game does alright I guess. But as actual music itself? It's bad.

The new map themes sound many many times better over the original sound track.

[wide shore]

I miss humming the soundtrack between rounds in BF1 and BFV. BFV especially man I was humming end of round themes with 0 shame with the bois.

[lilac dust]

I think they've definitely got it in an okay spot with Stranded and Spearhead music IMO. It's got a more hopeful feel to it in parts but still maintains a sense of struggle in other parts

[arctic grove]

i never really thought about the soundtrack with the newer ones but i still like them

[eager spire]

Creates a setting where climate change has resulted in mass exodus' from people's homes due to unhabitable conditions
Creates the NoPats, who are just a refugee group who create task forces who end up fighting for the US/Russia in the same kind of warfare that caused the climate change that displaced them in the first place
Nobody ever mentions this, this is never brought up

[slender isle]

I really like the OST. Gives that dread feeling. I especially like how a lot of the sounds are map specific items. So like there will be banging on shipping containers, or sand in the wind. that kinda thing

[arctic grove]

it was better suited to be complemented by a singleplayer

[eager spire]

The No Pats are a stupid concept for a multiplayer only shooter.

[lilac dust]

It's a crime that we got cheaped out of a campaign for a 10 minute short film. I wanted to see where that story was heading

[wide shore]

The games story seems more like hype material than actual game lore.

[arctic grove]

agree, hourglasses soundtrack is obviously "sandy", strandeds soundtrack includes instrumentals that are reminiscent of ship horns, etc

[eager spire]

Their existence undermines the tone of the game. They're only making things worse for themselves.

[next onyx]

I'm interested in the story but I'm also not either.

I dunno.

[eager spire]

I think it's cause DICE didn't wanna seem like they were making a statement or something.

[wide shore]

We don’t really have any incentive to care.

[arctic grove]

this, i agree 100%. thats why i put my discord name as this, it remains to be my biggest complaint with 2042. i just wanted an anonymous military shooter

[eager spire]

also that. that is also true.

[arctic grove]

that alongside the games theme? perfect

[next onyx]

New guy is kinda fun though.

[eager spire]

It doesn't matter. None of this does. You could remove all of the lore and nothing would really change.

[next onyx]

I think he'll end up replacing Mackay for me.

It depends.

[arctic grove]

ye hes very good alongside mackay

[wide shore]

So far, we’ve yet to see a map or setting that actually shows how fucked up the world is.

[next onyx]

His passive is so good.

[eager spire]

Also, >US/Russia cold war again

[next onyx]

I go to anyone else and I feel naked.

[slender isle]

I do (it's cause I'm cool and like looking for hints on the next season)

[eager spire]

Really flexing the creative muscles there, DICE.

[next onyx]

US, Russia and Vietnam in a cold war era battlefield.

[eager spire]

:I

[wide shore]

PLEASE

[next onyx]

US and RU is easy to do.

I don't care for it personally.

[eager spire]

Except it matters even less because it's all No-Pats fighting and they're all different variants of the same people.

[wide shore]

Well, they can’t make China the bad guy again

[arctic grove]

sometimes ill play 2042 then randomly think about the fact that dice designed the game so we shoot ourselves

[wide shore]

BF1 spoiled us with factions.

[arctic grove]

i dont wanna say too much about it tho cause ive exhausted this argument so much lol, but agreed poetic

[lilac dust]

I miss playing as chinese in BF4. Also didn't you get specific attachments for each faction where if you spawned in as China you could only use coyote sight e.c.t or am I remembering totally wrong lol

[upbeat sand]

Final stand dlc for bf4 is for some reason available on Chinese steam

Only final stand

[arctic grove]

another thing i really loved about BF1 was its factions that really helped feel like you were really fighting for one faction against the other

[upbeat sand]

No base

[eager spire]

nah you could get 'em on every gun

[next onyx]

I'm just used to bf5, Shooting at the rocks that speak German.

[arctic grove]

[wide shore]

Well, with the return of 3D spotting you can just shoot at the rock with the big red icon

[eager spire]

Anyway, 2042's setting in theory could be used to make an interesting story. But this is a AAA game developer we're talking about, and they already had to claim they weren't trying to make a political statement with including climate change in the game.

[arctic grove]

at the end of the day i just hope BF returns to coherent differentiated factions

[eager spire]

Fucking cowards.

[upbeat sand]

Strange with how if you get too far from a soldier they just default to AI voicelines until your next to them

[arctic grove]

i like 2042s gameplay, i just wish i actually could fee like i was fighting for the US/russia

[arctic grove]

yea non squad mates will literally do ai quips

[wide shore]

Doesn’t even need to be a political statement in a fictional universe.

[next onyx]

What you mean Beans?

[arctic grove]

yet look just like you

[next onyx]

Players that aren't in your squad use the AI quotes.

[upbeat sand]

Huh

[next onyx]

Or faction specific quotes.

[next onyx]

This.

[upbeat sand]

I swear I heard a non squad mate speak normally when next to me

[arctic grove]

they understood that non squad mates speak your factions local language but not make them look like RU/US soldiers

its super weird

[pastel loom]

climate change? can't wait for a snowy arabia
it can't be hotter than it already is

[next onyx]

It's all in your head.

You're going insane.

[eager spire]

"In a fictional universe" yeah using the fictional concepts of climate change and people being displaced from their homes due to natural disasters or the fictional nations of the United States and Russia. :I

At some point, you gotta stop fucking lying.

And commit to the bit.

[arctic grove]

2042 as a statement wouldve went so hard

[wide shore]

I mean, plenty of fictional universes use real life stuff.

[lilac dust]

I also fucking hate how specialists speak russian sometimes when you see them dead on the floor.... Like I get it DICE you wanted to shoe horn specialists in and just make em russian when on the russian team and nobody will care but I care

[arctic grove]

this

like bruhh

[tame cobalt]

Kinda sad that dice has given up on cq128. But still force the new cq64 maps into cq128

[eager spire]

doesn't mean they can't be used to make statements. It being "fictional" doesn't mean it can't have something to say.

[chilly jacinth]

does it have to?

no

[slender isle]

Would that not be like 0 weapons

[eager spire]

It genuinely would've been more interesting if they did.

[lilac dust]

I personally love the chaos of 128 on Stranded and Spearhead, but I think they will give us a bigger map next season. I think they just wanted to make sure they please the folks asking for more CQC which the game was sorely missing

[slender isle]

Wdym? The new map and all the other maps feel great on 128p

[eager spire]

I mean if you're gonna go as far as to have climate change and the US and Russia still being on their bullshit despite the rapid decline of society, then you're just wasting effort by not saying something with that.

[chilly jacinth]

ok and?

literally who cares in a multiplayer game where you shoot fools

[slender isle]

Russia would literally do anything to be cocks with putin at the head

[wide shore]

Of course. But any criticism could’ve been avoided by saying something along the lines of “Events presented in Battlefield 2042 are fictionalized for the sake of building a realistic vision of the future.”

And not just “we don’t want to make a political statement”

[next onyx]

Do you not know how many weapons were around in the 1960's?

m16a1, ak47, AKM, ACE GALIL, G3, Mp5, STEYR AUG, L96a1, etc.

[tame cobalt]

Stranded is literally just a cq64 map, and spearhead is so narrow that there is zero room for flanking when there's 128 players on it

[slender isle]

Used in the vietnam war? I don't think many were Widely used

[chilly jacinth]

skill issue

[eager spire]

but they did say the latter in relation to their statements about climate change being in the game.

[lilac dust]

Also hot take @tame cobalt Maps bigger than exposure, you start to lose the 128 sensation. You could have 500 players on a map and if the map is too big then it feels like you're playing against 12 players

[slender isle]

Oh I'm a sniper so it works amazing for my playstyle

[eager spire]

I am speaking in a hypothetical scenario where DICE gave enough of a shit about the lore to actually write some kinda campaign for this.

I am well aware this doesn't matter for MP.

[chilly jacinth]

ok

[arctic grove]

stranded as a 64p sounds strange since its already very

Interesting with 128

[wide shore]

I know. And I’m saying it’s the easiest route to try and stave criticism when they could’ve said what I said or similar and wouldn’t have to double down and make a statement

[eager spire]

But considering they don't care to do that, then why have this lore at all.

[arctic grove]

as in takes quite a bit to travel but you get around

[slender isle]

Stranded 64p is kinda boring imo

[lilac dust]

[arctic grove]

yea it sounds worst imo

[tame cobalt]

exposure is great for cq128, but i feel like that's the last map they made for 128 before they gave up on it. And then it released and people loved it in cq128 so they pretended they never gave up on cq128

[slender isle]

I personally believe they are just trying to make the experiences the same between all consoles and modes

[wide shore]

64 on any of the base game maps are boring.

[arctic grove]

i see what youre saying tho ratchet, maps after exposure have definitely not been adapted for 128 and 64 respectively

[next onyx]

Doesn't matter. It's battlefield.

Battlefield has always included experimental and non experimental weapons.

[arctic grove]

exposure was probably designed around the same time as launch maps anyways

[raw moss]

Stranded is a fun map on Conquest but Breakthrough.... it's rough at timesb

[next onyx]

Pre planned and all of that.

[lilac dust]

IMO I don't think they gave up on it, they just wanted to give more of what people want. CQC. I think now that they've gave us it across these last 2 seasons and the reworks are going to give us more. I think season 4.... Maybe right after that they'll give us an exposure size map

But I agree. Exposure is exceptional for 128

[slender isle]

The new map is around a year+ old in terms of production being started

[wide shore]

Anyone trying to make the argument that a Cold War battlefield wouldn’t work are kidding themselves.

[eager spire]

i mean they could've made a statement if they weren't being cowards. like genuinely, the setting is perfect for a story about how continuous warfare harms not only significant populations but also the planet and environment as well, the US military alone is one of the largest contributors to it.

[arctic grove]

cold war can work but for the sake of content i think theyll go a bit alt with it anyways, even if galils werent used in vietnam i think theyd pull something like that out

[tame cobalt]

the game being stretched between multiple generations certainly holds this game back a lot IMO

[next onyx]

Look good in game.

[wide shore]

Cold War era is like right up inside DICE’s alley. With the amount of wacky and weird weapon prototypes that existed. It would be a wet dream for them

[slender isle]

I personally wouldn't mind just a standard Iraq/Afghanistan shooter with RU as the enemy like a good ol' classic early 2010's BF game

[raw moss]

Exposure is the best map they've done. I'm looking forward to the Breakaway rework. Looks very interesting

[lilac dust]

Is that the tier 1 skin and did you get it recently?

[tame cobalt]

maybe

[arctic grove]

same, thats what we thought 2042 was gonna be after all (except not iraq/afghan, just wartorn and weathered cities and other cool stuff)

[next onyx]

Yeah I just got it.

[lilac dust]

Sheeeeeeeeeeesh

[slender isle]

Yeah. People want a bf4 style bf game. So it's early 2010s. In multiple dif countries, with a lot of weapons and maps

With classes and a lot of vehicles

[arctic grove]

youve pretty much said all i want from dice

i dont ask for much, just bring classes and faction models back man

[wide shore]

Maybe. But you also gotta understand there is a large portion of the western world who just flatout do not believe in climate change. And especially here in America, we idolize our military. And I reckon a lot would probably boycott this game for trying to dissuade them on any way.

Now ideally, who gives a fuck about them. But from a business standpoint you don’t want to alienate anybody. Even if 2042 would be a great cautionary tale it’s just not made to be a political martyr.

[eager spire]

Dumbasses and cowards, the lot of 'em. :I

[slender isle]

Thought so lmao

[wide shore]

I agree. But what can ya do.

[slender isle]

We do have to remember that the team making 2042 are not the same team as any previous bf game. They're all new (besides a few high ups)

[eager spire]

be mildly annoyed about it.

[arctic grove]

true

it is what it is really

[eager spire]

actually iirc most of the people working on 2042 have been around since BF1.

[arctic grove]

the future is concerning for battlefield

[arctic grove]

i always heard most of DICEs "real talent" left after BF1

[wide shore]

Eh. I hear that every year.

[arctic grove]

yknow what though thats true people have been saying that shit for like 10 years lol my bad

im just saying since i just want em to make a decent game yk

[pastel loom]

near future setting again isn't needed
a game set in the same year it releases is enough

[eager spire]

i think most of their actual talent left before BF1, because holy fuck that game was not good, some elements were so downgraded from BF4 it's crazy.

[slender isle]

I've heard mostly everyone has moved on post bf1 and bfV. This is basically a new team

[tame cobalt]

The sus thing to me is the whole asset count limitation thing. Stranded and Spearhead feel like they have the same amount of assets as the other 128 maps... But they can run on last gen with all these assets? It makes me think the entire asset count issue is due to last gen. Last gen is holding the map designers back

[eager spire]

Removes visual recoil from BF4 because it's distracting and nobody likes it
Adds it back in for BF1 for no good reason

[wide shore]

That’s fair. I think they’ve learned a lot with 2042.

But they also learned a lot with the last 4 releases and somehow stuff that is made to make the experience bigger gets removed in the future.

[eager spire]

No test range

[wide shore]

Removes 3D spotting in BFV because it’s been a long-standing problem issue in the community
Brings it back in 2042 even though nobody asked for it.

[lilac dust]

Yeah possibly. We'll see what we're working with when season 4 drops

[arctic grove]

ye, i dont have too many expectations personally, for me i dont exactly mind the rate of 2042s content (although i would appreciate more), i just have like a few nitpicks, and thats all i want to be a constant across bf games for me to personally like em

[eager spire]

Removes suppression in BFV
Replaces it with RNG recoil for no good reason

[tame cobalt]

ye. am definitely hoping for another exposure situation

[brave zinc]

Question. In this game is everyone actually players or are some AIs?

[wide shore]

Remove visual recoil from guns in 2042
Keeps it on the vault weapons

[eager spire]

there are likely AI players.

[arctic grove]

regardless of how bad they are at the game, if they dont have AI over their name they are not AI

[eager spire]

AAAAA

[chilly jacinth]

it clearly displays if they're AI or not

[eager spire]

like genuinely I don't understand some of this shit man.

[lilac dust]

AI = Artificial Idiots

[brave zinc]

How can u tell who the bots are to actually players

[lilac dust]

[eager spire]

...2042 doesn't even have a fucking test range, someone had to make that in Portal.

theoretically solo/co-op is a 'test range' although it really depends since a test range is still a bit different

[wide shore]

Tbh I only really used the BFV test range to listen to gun sounds.

I tried to practice flying too but the AI sucked ass

[arctic grove]

the AI have names that are related to their faction, RU has a lot of Russian looking names, US has names that youd see people here named like, followed by AI in two brackets, they also use very specific models that change depending on their class and faction (....something still missing from the player experience, DICE)

[eager spire]

The Test Range was a valuable tool though, especially when it comes to warming up or testing weapons. Which is why BF1 not having it sucked ass.

[raw moss]

If they just look at what BF4 brought and expanded on that you'd have 🔥

[eager spire]

Except BF1 did have a test range, they made it for Incursions and then never released it after they scrapped it.

[raw moss]

They could just remaster it and it would sell

[eager spire]

Fucking ridiculous.

[slender isle]

Just better gunplay and maps and movement and graphics

[raw moss]

Just freaking remaster BF4

[pastel loom]

are bf2042 maps on last gen smaller or the same size?
because in bf4 last last gen maps were partly cut

[slender isle]

smaller

Same layout as exodus conquest

[brave zinc]

Damn im over here getting excited at probably killing some bots.

[wide shore]

I wish people would stop saying this. BF4 was it’s own game. We should keep striving for new games to actually be new and not just another BF 2.0

[eager spire]

[Impossible] [Literally unheard of]

[raw moss]

Well everything in the 2020s is shite so

[wide shore]

Plus BF4 is bad and is incredibly overrated.

[arctic grove]

i think what people mean is the modern themed anonymoose military shooter, but ofc with newer gunplay and movement mechanics, etc

[wide shore]

[eager spire]

BF4 is fine. But it could've been better.

[arctic grove]

cause i myself while i like bf3 and 4 i dont exactly want them to be remastered as they are, just keep their theme but do their thing with everything else

[wide shore]

Bad maps. Broken gadgets. Boring story. Boring setting. The only interesting bits were the final stand stuff.

[eager spire]

Even the remade BF3 maps were mid

Caspian Border? Operation Firestorm? Really?

[wide shore]

Because they changed them and made them bad.

[eager spire]

Fucking Metro?

Again?

[wide shore]

Gulf of Oman was a great pick. But the sandstorm every single game made it shit.

[eager spire]

Fuck Gulf of Oman.

[wide shore]

It was also missing a lot of the destruction

[arctic grove]

im fine with them but i wasnt around then to play bf3 for a couple years then be there for BF4 to release a DLC that was just BF3 maps but made again

[wide shore]

Same with metro

They removed all the building destruction outside on metro. Why

[eager spire]

no i just don't like a lot of things.

[wide shore]

Caspian remake was decent but just wasn’t as good as the original

Firestorm always sucked

[raw moss]

Loved Firestorm lol 🤣

[arctic grove]

i hate firestorm ever since that fucking A10 spawn camper screwed me for 30 minutes

[raw moss]

Loved Oman

[arctic grove]

[wide shore]

You know what made me hate firestorm? Trying to unlock the GOL in BF4. IYKYK

[eager spire]

Like, here's what i think would be better picks for the Second Assault DLC

Grand Bazaar - Seine Crossing - Tehran Highway - Epicenter

I would also suggest remaking the entire Close Quarters DLC for BF4

[arctic grove]

man i gave up on the GOL so quickly lol

[wide shore]

I agree with these picks.

[arctic grove]

to this day i dont even have it

[raw moss]

Just gotta bring back PTSD from that eh?

[wide shore]

How grand bazaar has gone this long with only 1 proper remake is a crime.

And Seine Crossing NEVER getting one? Sheesh

[eager spire]

Why they chose Caspian and Firestorm over Seine Crossing and Grand Bazaar despite the latter maps being far more popular is beyond me.

Also, Close Quarters was an underappreciated DLC

[arctic grove]

strangely enough despite battlelog saying i have all bf4 dlc's (i got them all for free in 2018) and after restoring licenses on my ps5, i can only download naval strike aand final stand iirc? o well

[eager spire]

It should've been remade for BF4.

BF4 players would've loved it.

[wide shore]

They would’ve loved having a good map to play for a change

[eager spire]

Yeah, cause BF4 really lacked good infantry maps. Locker was the best one by virtue of it being the only one.

[lilac dust]

Bro I shit myself ... I thought a level 959 just revived me .... Looking back it was just a 159 🤣

[eager spire]

Metro is Metro and Metro sucks ass.

[wide shore]

BF4 lacked in the map department as a whole.

There was a lot of them. But most of them were shit

Shanghai and Zavod were the only OG BF4 maps that I think are good

[eager spire]

see my picks for what maps should've been remade for BF4

as for BF4 maps in particular, Shanghai annoys me in Conquest cause C flag is at the top of the building.

Zavod is fine.

[wide shore]

BFV had great maps. Not all of them perfect but I like a hell of a lot more BFV maps than BF4

[eager spire]

Like, I would say i can only stand Zavod, Pearl Market, and Dawnbreaker.

Operation Locker is a maybe, depends on if i'm playing with decent people.

Flood Zone is iffy.

The entire Naval Strike DLC can fuck off.

[wide shore]

Rotterdam, Devastation, Arras, the entire pacific DLC, Maritza, Mercury, Al Marj, Provence. All those maps I’d say are good/great

[eager spire]

well that's a problem with team balancing then, not with the maps.

[wide shore]

BFV did have some stinkers though. Panzerstorm can go fuck itself straight to hell. Same with Al Sundan. I would leave lobbies to avoid playing those maps.

[eager spire]

I feel like Paracel Storm was a bit overrated

like, sure, the storm is very cool and all

but the map itself sucks

and it doesn't help when the storm shows up and i suddenly can't hear shit.

[raw moss]

Oh I loved that map

[wide shore]

I agree. Funny enough, it’s predecessor pacific storm in BFV was way better.

[arctic grove]

and thus that leads into something ill infer, whats up with the "bring back naval combat" hype?

[raw moss]

Sneaking up on snipers with a shotgun was pure joy

[eager spire]

because apparently ear protection just can't filter out storm noises?

[wide shore]

We had a two good naval maps in BF1 and people just want more.

[eager spire]

I don't know. I don't care for those people.

[arctic grove]

thats fair, i understand that

[eager spire]

I fucking hate boats.

Naval combat sucks ass.

[wide shore]

TBF Heligoland can be really fun sometimes. And it’s an extravagant visual.

But for infantry players it’s a nightmare

[eager spire]

ah yeah that map

it can fuck off

[arctic grove]

its been a little bit since i queued up into the naval maps, i did gettt zeebrugge a little bit ago tho

[eager spire]

i'd rather play Prise de Tahure and Nivelle Nights.

[wide shore]

I did once have like a 50 killstreak sitting in a L-Class destroyer on Cape Helles once.

That was fun

Don’t care for cape Helles much though.

[eager spire]

i think my favorite maps in BF1 are Amiens, Passchendaele, and Argonne Forest.

[wide shore]

Achi Baba and Zebrugge though. Mmmmmm

[eager spire]

Passchendaele because holy fuck the vibes.

[arctic grove]

never queueing up for empires edge again

[wide shore]

Passchendaele is a perfect example of a map that not only exudes atmosphere but is also really fun to play

[eager spire]

I haven't really played a full Conquest match on it, but i did play Domination on it and it was fun.

[arctic grove]

very predictable pathing that also has large lines of sight for snipers, and the objectives time to travel

[wide shore]

I remember before BF1 launched people thought you just couldn’t do a map like passchendaele. Being that it’s just muddy hills. But it works so well

[gloomy shoal]

Meow

[eager spire]

Also, it was the last map you went to for completing the easter egg and unlocking the Peacekeeper.

[arctic grove]

ima try turning my aim assist down

again

cause even at 50 it sticks like a mf to targets aura

[raw moss]

That whole DLC was probably the best one they did for BF1. That and the French DLC

[arctic grove]

maybe 10 will work either that or ill go negative repeatedly

aim assist is v e r y fun to try to work with in 2042

[raw moss]

The Russian one had 1 good map

[eager spire]

Yeah, the Apocalypse DLC is a hell of a DLC.

[next onyx]

The new shotgun gets both of the new lasers?

Huh?

[wide shore]

I thought I had a picture of me getting it in the tunnels but I don’t. But man I loved doing those Easter eggs. And the peacekeeper is one of the best rewards I’ve ever seen for an Easter egg

[eager spire]

Fun fact about that DLC apparently it had a Camera Pigeon gadget that got cut.

[wide shore]

Not to mention they didn’t just give it away to everyone a few months later.

[arctic grove]

theres one russian dlc map that i played recently on bt, it just s u c k e d

[raw moss]

As a Canadian I appreciated Acpolyse

Really well done

[wide shore]

I just wish they didn’t shoehorn conquest assault onto River Somme

[eager spire]

:D

[wide shore]

River Somme is an awesome map, but sometimes it never gets past A

[eager spire]

I appreciated the BF1 easter egg, though A Conflict was fucking annoying

[wide shore]

Which suckkkkssssss

Was conflict the second one?

[eager spire]

yeah

[wide shore]

I found the first one the hardest and most frustrating.

[eager spire]

The first one was not that hard, just a bit tedious.

I basically hassled the BFEE discord about it.

[wide shore]

But I did that shit like the day it was found out. And did all that Morse decoding and cyphering by myself.

I had a notebook full of notes and other shit. Probably took like 5-6 hours no joke.

[eager spire]

I didn't, I did it relatively recently.

[wide shore]

I did all the eggs as they came out.

[raw moss]

I'm still hoping for another land shark Easter egg lol

[wide shore]

I got lucky with Conflict. I went into an empty Asian server to give it a try. When some random player joined. I thought be was gonna be a shitter but he asked if he could help. And we both figured it out in a party together. And then we helped some other guy do it too.

[eager spire]

It was neat, it made BF1 into a WW1 themed puzzle game for a while and gave me a good excuse to look at the maps.

[wide shore]

I miss those kinda Easter eggs.

The ones in 2042 are okay, I still do em. But they don’t touch the kinda community aura that unlocking the phantom bow or peacekeeper did.

[eager spire]

I didn't unlock the phantom bow in BF4, i just grabbed it off Operation Outbreak

because i think one of the phantom dogtags required getting jet kills and i don't care about flying jets.

[wide shore]

If I can be truthful.

Me and a friend just boosted it on some Easter egg server.
