[hexed mango]

they made it sound like it was absolute

this fr

[next onyx]

50 health lunchboxes that give you ammo?? That sounds good.

Slower regen than falck.

But good regen.

Keeps him relevant.

[copper fulcrum]

or just reduce the cooldown for the ammo pouches

[solar tinsel]

honestly there's an easy fix for this. Angel should have the Gadget refill on revive (current Crawford passive) when he moves to Engineer. I know Irish was supposed to get it, but it makes more sense with Angel

[arctic grove]

I get the out of region servers part but can you clarify on what you mean about the stock thing?

[solar tinsel]

I could see Irish reviving with 5 or 10 armor as a viable trade instead, considering that 5 or 10 armor won't have huge impact

[fiery solar]

Is anyone experiencing horrible rubber banding or some type of lag I can’t explain while also having low ping

[solar tinsel]

As in: standard, official experiences

[next onyx]

Irish will have a weird revive perk but so be it.

He can revive.

And that will be massive.

[fiery solar]

His cover will be used to heal now instead of look cool until I ram it

[next onyx]

Oh yeah his new legendary skin too.

Which is basically his bf4 skin.

That will be a keeper.

Reckon they might include it if they ever add the m429???

Which is rumoured to have been seen.

Which was his default weapon on bf4.

[arctic grove]

Hm, well the standard official experiences experience so far sure hasn’t been a good one

[solar tinsel]

Are you playing Portal instead usually?

[arctic grove]

No, I’m almost always on AoW

[solar tinsel]

Ok, but my point is - a server browser for AoW doesn't get you much

You'd have a list of 100 of the same game experiences or whatever

[arctic grove]

I don’t consider choosing the map I want with a player base size I’m interested in playing with not much

[next onyx]

A server browser for all out warfare will be big.

It'll give us information on our region.

On what is being played.

[arctic grove]

Which is probably why it isn’t in the game

[edgy oriole]

region and finally not be forced to play the same map 500 hours straight

[solar tinsel]

I think there are better ways that they can improve matchmaking and map selection, but at the very least this has avoided team stacking

[arctic grove]

That’s definitely a con to the server browser but the pros far outweigh it

[next onyx]

Stacking happens no matter what.

[edgy oriole]

it hasnt. you join a friend and leave your squad and invite and repeat

[arctic grove]

There’s no reason not to add it unless it will say too much about the player base that DICE isn’t wanting us to see easier

[next onyx]

Like shit man when you're on a team with silk, assault, cyanide, me and all of that stuff you're going to have an uneven game.

[solar tinsel]

I'd argue that winds up not being viable, as you're spending a decent amount of time playing ring around the rosie. Will people do it? Sure I'm sure they do, but it isn't quite as fun

In older games, you just see clans of 15+ hop on the same server and same team

[next onyx]

And that was a problem yes.

[edgy oriole]

nope its as simple as i typed it. leave squad invite, leave squad, invite

[arctic grove]

A con isn’t always a problem that needs an entire feature that’s been standard for over 10 years removed randomly

[solar tinsel]

that also requires a server not being full

[arctic grove]

Cause people find ways to fuck with everything tbh

[next onyx]

You can't really do anything against stacking unless you have a proper team balancer.

[edgy oriole]

the game is shit and people get kicked from games for no reason all the time. its not that bad of a hold up

[next onyx]

In which case the clan ends up fighting each other.

[solar tinsel]

I genuinely think the lack of server browser for stock experiences was on the lesser end of 2042's problems though

[arctic grove]

It’s caused matchmaking problems for certain regions ever since a few months post game release

Even here in NA late night you’ll find one actual server of CQ128 and the rest is queues

[edgy oriole]

they could make it so we can vote for maps after matches, but thatll require a browser or atleast a hidden browser or something.

[solar tinsel]

it would require persistent servers

[arctic grove]

I’m down with something like that since eventually we gotta accept what we got here

[solar tinsel]

I would be in favor of persistent AoW servers, as long as a good team balance and mixup happened between each round - only keeping PARTIED squad members together

and then yes, no need to leave/rejoin, and you could do map votes or at least ensure it would be a different map then what you just played

[oak crest]

Thank you for answering my question.

[next onyx]

Just combine all out warfares server browser with portals and that way get those servers filled.

[foggy wharf]

So I’ve been just sniping and for a cqc secondary I’ve been using the g57, how does the nvm-p125 compare?

[arctic grove]

I dunno, I’m an advocate for the next time don’t take away a bunch of features that have been in this franchises games for over a decade thing

[next onyx]

But as it turns out it's cheaper to just bit do it for all out warfare.

The p125 is spammy.

It's good.

[next onyx]

Legacy features lol.

[foggy wharf]

Ok I heard mixed reviews and haven’t tried it yet

[solar tinsel]

2042 was guilty of plenty of that. While I think the lack of AoW browsers were less of an issue, stuff like VoIP, scoreboard, platoon/clan support, a stats page, I mean...

[next onyx]

@foggy wharf

[solar tinsel]

so much stuff it didn't have ready

[next onyx]

You'd think a multi billion company wouldn't want to skimp out on servers for their games.

[foggy wharf]

Bet thanks I’ll give it a run

That actually looks good

[arctic grove]

Yea compared to everything else it’s good we are gradually getting the latter options, but I think now that we’re moving into Y2 if they extend it to a year of support they backtrack on hearing us complain about what we as players want and just being like “nah”

[foggy wharf]

I can pair that with the railgun, most op combo

[arctic grove]

Or less exaggerated giving weird excuses for why certain things got removed

[solar tinsel]

I just think they are making value calls on what is worth the effort or not - and I genuinely agree that a AoW browser isn't as critical as other game functions, or even just more content. I'm not fully sure what Year 2 will entail, as it might not be more seasons necessarily

[next onyx]

This game was rushed but there's no reason not to include features.

Unless you're aiming to improve.

[arctic grove]

That’s fair I get that

[next onyx]

Which let's be honest. What we got wasn't even an improvement.

[arctic grove]

Agreed

[solar tinsel]

Yeah the game didn't have enough time and I think moreso had an identity crisis in pre-production

[next onyx]

This game still doesn't have squad management.

[solar tinsel]

that's the real issue, because it set them back as a result

[solar tinsel]

yup ha

[next onyx]

There's still no server browser and this crap quick match is inferior to it.

There's no player retaining lobbies either.

For all out warfare.

Which people buy this game for.

[arctic grove]

Quick match is ok when it’s combined with a server browser since it meets both demands

[foggy wharf]

They need a tdm not in portal

[solar tinsel]

I think if you had persistent servers in AoW, that would likely solve a lot of folks gripes with AoW matchmaking I think

[edgy oriole]

i wanna be in, out and back into another match in 5-10 seconds max. they need to add that in

i hate EOR animation and stats

[next onyx]

Don't want hear this crap about you can play portal for two of those features.

All portal is is an exp boosting mode and they stopped trying to stop it.

[edgy oriole]

i dont even wanna see exp gain

[next onyx]

And if not that. Then it's some bs 800% hard core server which isn't even proper hard core.

[arctic grove]

Yeah I’m tired of hearing that quipped at people tbh lol, like they know exactly what people mean

[next onyx]

It's just a damage multiplier with zoom snap still enabled because shitters can't aim

[solar tinsel]

I genuinely think people just want the persistent servers for less map repeats and less downtime between matches, but a lot of people think "server browsers" is the answer when it's really just persistent servers with smarter intermission flows

[arctic grove]

I don’t wanna see anyone who plays the 100000% damage servers calling 2042s maps bad cause that makes the un reworked maps in AOW seem like heaven

[next onyx]

Server browsers will go a long way.

It genuinely will.

[solar tinsel]

I disagree, persistent servers would go further

[arctic grove]

Yeah agreed it’s not just persistent servers

I still wanna choose maps I like more and see what I’ve got available

[edgy oriole]

also broken servers are still a thing happening. and server browser will stop forcing me into those broken lobbies

[next onyx]

Persistent player lobbies definitely but I'm on about the server browser.

I love joining a match that's just about to end. :D

FUN.

[arctic grove]

I hate that

[solar tinsel]

but you don't NEED browsers for that. Just smarter matchmaking

which is the true issue

[arctic grove]

Then you’re immediately booted right back out

[solar tinsel]

they have no logic on that

[next onyx]

If they were player persistent it'll be lessened yes. But I would like to join a match within my choosing. Not be forced back into the same match when I back out.

[solar tinsel]

I just think browsing a bunch of [DICE] AOW #022123 doesn't get you much

[arctic grove]

The server browser still has use for determining more specifically what the player wants. Built in systems that try to decide that can work rather questionably

[solar tinsel]

and if you let people cherry pick their maps in AoW

[arctic grove]

It gets me the map I want tho as I keep saying

[solar tinsel]

that could throw off the matchmaking and turn servers into AI lobbies

because if everyone can back out and get "the hot map" each time

[arctic grove]

I’m more willing to challenge that possibility which has never occurred in a BF game with a server browser yet

[next onyx]

I still know what server that has the players so I don't go back into the same server.

[arctic grove]

That’s also kind of a slippery slope to say a server browser will ultimately lead to that happening

[next onyx]

I can choose a server by its map and wait it out to my favourite map.

They need to host all out warfare on the same servers portal are on or somethingmn

If I've come off extremely aggressive I apologise.

[solar tinsel]

That shit did start to happen on older BF games

[arctic grove]

I’d argue that’s more on premium separating playerbases

[next onyx]

I would join servers with sub 30 people and help carry my team while the server filled.

[solar tinsel]

BF2, you'd start to have a hard time finding stock experiences and it was all 24/7 Karkand or whatever

[arctic grove]

Hence why you also mentioned older BF games

[solar tinsel]

DLC aside though

[edgy oriole]

I mean is it a bad thing that people are choosing good maps instead of being forced on shitty maps tho?

[solar tinsel]

eventually custom 24/7 servers wound up being where most players went, and stock servers suffered or became less populated

[next onyx]

The good part about intersecting all out warfares browser into portal is that other portal modes will get more traction.

Wow look a free for all.

[edgy oriole]

i cancel queue if i see hourglass everytime

[next onyx]

Wow look a 128p tdm!!!

[arctic grove]

this LTM is rlly good

[next onyx]

Which can sideline someone into playing something djfferent.

Yeah it actually is.

PBX as Zain is amazing.

Issue is that my smokes ZOOM.

[arctic grove]

smokes paik with the new shotgun going 50-2

[solar tinsel]

I could see a Portal/AoW consolidation when there aren't enough players

[arctic grove]

This is also a good counter argument since with the current matchmaking system I’ve barely been finding shit that isn’t exposure, stranded or spearhead

[next onyx]

Wow I love getting breakaway 5 times in a row.

[solar tinsel]

again I just chalk that up to shit matchmaking logic and no persistent servers

persistent servers, better logic, map votes at the end of each round - there you go

[arctic grove]

No like, you can see what map you’re gonna play before you even play it. People genuinely are not playing most of the games maps lmao

[solar tinsel]

I mean I still get full 128p matches on every map at least

[edgy oriole]

i mean if i can choose BT with the map i want the idk about server browsing ig

[formal lily]

Hey guys, is EA Play Battlefield 2042 full? Or only 10 hours i can play it?

[arctic grove]

my point still stands at the end of the day that this isn’t a persistent servers issue. It’s much bigger than that, and I rather take the cons associated with a server browser than this

[edgy oriole]

ea play/gamepass is full game now

[arctic grove]

damn prob gona get 20k people playing on steam tomorrow ill bet on it

not including origin or consoles

[solar tinsel]

ultimately you'd need to have persistent servers if you had a browser though, no?

[arctic grove]

Of course. Add them both

As it’s always been in Battlefield games

[formal lily]

Why, then, when installing in Steam, it writes to me that there are 10 hours left?

[arctic grove]

My bad. I wasn’t suggesting against persistent servers. I meant to say it’s not the solution to the entire problem

[edgy oriole]

idk i dont use steam i use the main app.

[solar tinsel]

I think it solves the biggest gripes folks have without needing to open up to region manipulation or team stacking is what I'm saying

[arctic grove]

Yes, and those cons considered, I much rather deal with that predicament than this which only solves one of those problems and fucks with 300 other things

[next onyx]

I just miss those 24/7 servers where it was conquest for one round and bt for 2 rounds.

Al sundan 24/7 was so much fun with the sturmtiger glitchmn

[arctic grove]

Obviously exaggerating lol but yeah man the cons associated with the new system literally obstruct the matchmaking experience worst and have questionable long term effects on this game following it’s cancelled support

[next onyx]

It's almost as if without directly telling us this game was meant to be something else.

[solar tinsel]

Maybe - agree to disagree as I think everything else about the game were the real long-term effect problems. But I can respect your opinion, and hope you get what youre looking for, although I don't see it happening truthfully

[arctic grove]

Me either, I’m thinking a little bit too much in the long term for the suits at EA

[solar tinsel]

I obviously won't mind a browser for AoW, unless it started harming the AoW experience and required me to spend 5 min picking the best DICE# server each time

[arctic grove]

But if people were smart about this shit they’d do what I am saying, not cause I’m some sort of genius but because it’s what actually works best, which is what I want them to do with the next game following this one

[frail pasture]

How do I get into servers full of kids so I don't have to die all the time?

[arctic grove]

Ask dice for SBMM

[solar tinsel]

Hell sometimes getting into a good populated BF2 server with a stock experience and not abusive mods literally took 5-10 min sometimes

[next onyx]

Yeah and you shouldn't need to cause that's always been the existence of quick play sync.

Shouldn't have problems with the servers.

A server browser is good for those people who are specific

[arctic grove]

I’m willing to accept 2042s matchmaking with revision but I’m definitely an advocate for bringing back the server browser amongst other things for the next game if it won’t be this one

[high oxide]

Anyone else fucking with the new railgun

[arctic grove]

And most others are as well

[next onyx]

I got it to tier 1 already gage.

[solar tinsel]

fair

[next onyx]

It's good.

[high oxide]

Also, big props to dice for not making it a coil gun and calling it a railgun

[solar tinsel]

hopping off for the night - good night all, see you on the battlefield

[high oxide]

It always makes me happy to see games get weapons tech right

[high oxide]

Damn chief, take a break lol

[placid echo]

I'm using the knives

[next onyx]

I am taking a break.

[frail pasture]

How did you get so many kills already, are you in servers full of kids?

[high oxide]

Oh no

The knife man

[placid echo]

I already have it to Tier 1

[high oxide]

Jesus

Also

[frail pasture]

Is he coming back?

[placid echo]

At some point, maybe

[high oxide]

I hope that the mtar comes to the 2042 pool, I love tavor rifles

[upbeat sand]

Holy i Git 100+ projectiles destroyed in 1 game of tdm

Zain farm

[high oxide]

Dang

[placid echo]

The knives are indeed very fun

https://streamable.com/4uovnv https://streamable.com/ssyync

[frail pasture]

How do I use them? I tend to miss everything

[placid echo]

I switch to them and hold fire before throwing.

It takes some practice

[jade turtle]

64p tdm on new map kinda fun ngl

[high oxide]

Liking the new map on breakthrough

It feels pretty balanced ngl

Good ways to dig in as attackers and defenders

[mental cave]

2 more battle passes to go until everybody has to pay for them

[high oxide]

I’ve been paying this whole time

I wish I had enough dosh to pre order the premium version

[mental cave]

cmon bruh the deluxe edition upgrade went on sale months ago

[jade turtle]

I’m just saving up by leeching off those free boins that come with the free pass

[mental cave]

same

i messed up and claimed 100 on pc tho

[high oxide]

You wanna make a kind donation ?

[jade turtle]

idk if Im gonna buy the season 4 pass when I get 1000

now at 700

[high oxide]

See bro, just as broke as I am

[mental cave]

no lol

im not very broke

i could definitely spare the $20 for you

but uh

yea

dont wanna

[frail pasture]

I don't get why they don't have more differences, instead of a skin for all specialists they make some specialists have two skins like Casper, he has the instant reward and then a premium skin later in the battle pass

[mental cave]

what

the instant reward isnt a skin

🤔

[frail pasture]

The four items you get when unlocking premium

[copper fulcrum]

It's a Casper skin, an Avancys skin, a tag and a player card

[high oxide]

I am the ultimate anti armor

[mental cave]

the new operator?

[tame cobalt]

I kinda just wish spearhead had some vantage points to zipline up and jump from

[robust vapor]

Railgun pew pew

[mental cave]

zipline from cube to cube

[robust vapor]

And have people sniping you

[edgy oriole]

i agree. sometimes the top of the cube makes it so you have to fight to jump off

[copper fulcrum]

Zipline from cube to cube sounds like death

"Look at me guys!"

Get shot more times than Scarface

[wispy haven]

hey everyone

[pearl ridge]

Gah, wish I could have 2x magnification irons with sniper rifles

Also, this game increased engagement ranges again from BFV, I'm getting pelted by ARs from long range dammit.

I just want to mid-range snipe!

[wispy haven]

where can i see my k/d?

[pearl ridge]

I don't think you can. Don't have the tech for it, you see...

[wispy haven]

just got the game yesterday and so far i am loving it

me and my friend have hot debate bout which graphics are better - mw2 or bf2042

[pearl ridge]

Also still not a fan of the instant enter-exit animations on vehicles.

[jade turtle]

profile tab -> statistics

[high oxide]

Why does my beloved eotech have to be a 2x 💀

[pearl ridge]

I just don't like having magnification options be locked behind progression.

[edgy oriole]

2042 looks better 100% but mw22 sound is better 100%

[pearl ridge]

I don't want to have to grind just to fight at the ranges I'm actually good at.

[edgy oriole]

grind? just kill

[high oxide]

I just wanna not feel zoomed in on an optic that has no actual zoom

[pearl ridge]

1.25x is too small and 6x is too big

I need 4x max

[wispy haven]

footstep sounds tho💀💀

[high oxide]

It’s a holographic sight, not an agog

Acog *

[wispy haven]

one thing i absolutely love bout bf2042 - you can play it casually and have fun. in mw2 you have to be always competetive - to have fun.

[solar obsidian]

play dmz lol

[true totem]

Anybody up to join a squad?

[wispy haven]

nah if i wanna have experience like that i will play tarkov or fallout games. no thanks.

[true totem]

K thanks

[wispy haven]

i am at work💀

[tame cobalt]

Yall i was right

[wispy haven]

i bought the game yesterday and only played for half an hour

[high oxide]

You guys think we’ll get any customization for the vault weapons ?

[tame cobalt]

S3 pops off, game is fire now

[wispy haven]

i am so excited to get home and hop in

[true totem]

Yeah Im enjoying the game for the first time

[wispy haven]

I have gtx 1660 ti and I have 60 plus fps with high settings

and that is amazing

[true totem]

Sorry I thought you were talking about my sqaud inv

[wispy haven]

wish you could disable blur when you are scoping tho

[delicate hollow]

I think that's been a rumored thing that they're working on

[wispy haven]

naah 💀🤣

[high oxide]

Good.

[mossy badge]

fact 💯

[delicate hollow]

Skins and charms for vault weapons

[prime ember]

Does anyone have any idea why when I stop running and try to shoot , my weapon shoots only one bullet ? ( It's a full Auto weapon ) , if I retry to shoot after that it works normally . I tried to unplug my mouse and my keyboard , and it seemed to be fixed for about 5 minutes (I play on controller ) . Only on controller I have this issue

[tame cobalt]

Falck snow skin reminds me of battlefront hoth rebels

[delicate hollow]

I just want brand new vault weapons for AOW. Praying for MTAR and deagle

[tame cobalt]

Yeah it's in such a good spot rn. Imagine it launched like this, would've been huge

[prime ember]

I don't have this issue on any other game , only 2042

[true totem]

Yeah its too bad its the norm for games to release in a shitty state, Halo Infinite is in the same situation

[wispy haven]

i just bought the game and for me it is absolutely amazing

[delicate hollow]

Are you maybe accidentally hitting the button that switches the rate of fire

I used to have that issue pretty often

[true totem]

Well if anyone wants to join up in a squad Im in BF2042 Squad 1 chat

[wispy haven]

eu?

[true totem]

United States

[high oxide]

Mtar my beloved

[wispy haven]

i love amerika

ies

[solar obsidian]

it really depends, where battlefields pros comes with stages that have a lot of vegetation and details on far away stuff is much better in bf with a bit of destruction added in,

mw2 strength comes in animations, character models, weapon models, and that big warzone map to travel through thats in general very good looking with a lot of detail in it,

its clearly thats been some sacrificed to far away details and some texture resolutions a few places

[high oxide]

I tell you, the Israelis have some slick guns

[true totem]

Yeah it could be pretty great... at times

[solar obsidian]

i enjoy both for what they are

[wispy haven]

same

[delicate hollow]

If they ever add another middle eastern specialist I hope they also give us some 2042 style weapons of their guns

[wispy haven]

but i prefer bf cause of more casuality.

[tame cobalt]

Yeah. But there is a silver lining to 2042's bad launch. It forced EA to finally sort out DICE's management

[wide hull]

they are gonna add another tornado if you keep asking

dice give us raytraced GI

Refunders are so lazy and predictable. I guarantee at least 70% of all refunders would love this game if it was labelled BRAND NEW GAME and came out as Season 3

i had fun with 2042 since day 1, but its like, GOOD good now

my baby the 12m with slugs is ass now

[solar obsidian]

imagine needing to use slugs for shotguns to work

[wide hull]

its fun

[lilac dust]

I'm waiting til season 4 before I recommend it to friends who don't play it just because they hear it's bad. I've waited 3 seasons already. I can wait 1 more season to recommend it and they'll be happy with it by then I think

[tame cobalt]

But what if year 2 is a relaunch, changing the name to battlefield 2043

[wispy haven]

like i get angry when people trash the game and they havent even playes it

[lilac dust]

I'm tempted to recommend it to my stubborn friends when the class update / manifest / breakaway rework comes but I feel like they'll be too annoyed that hourglass isn't reworked and just put it down again

[tame cobalt]

bruh

[solar obsidian]

if they are annoyed by one maps, they properly dont like the game to begin with

[tame cobalt]

just don't play hourglass, ez

[solar obsidian]

the amazing part about portal some servers avoid some maps

[lilac dust]

Ye they usually let me host so I'll just back out the queue if I see hourglass pop up

[solar obsidian]

he can make his own server

"no unfinished maps FAST FULL XP"

[tame cobalt]

[tame cobalt]

yeah in my region we only play on portal and all our servers remove hourglass lmao

hourglass redemption arc will be legendary

I just wonder if they'll still keep it vehicle focused with some infantry areas

Or tone down the vehicle focus entirely

[lilac stirrup]

hi guys

why do they take so long to search for games and why are there 10-15 people in the lobby?

[lilac dust]

I never usually play FNB but this week's is a BANGER

[wispy haven]

enable crossplay

[solar obsidian]

[lilac stirrup]

where do I need to click?

[solar obsidian]

settings

[wispy haven]

my friendo has gtx 960 2gb. no way he can run the game right?

[frigid skiff]

uuh ye

[solar obsidian]

of course

[lilac stirrup]

max 30-40 fps

[wispy haven]

30 plus will be acceptable for him

[solar obsidian]

zero knowledge behind that statement

[mental cave]

no wat

lol

mans cant even run chrome

[lilac stirrup]

it will run the game quietly if it has a good processor and enough RAM

[wispy haven]

12 ram

[arctic grove]

I hear ya on that.

[wispy haven]

i5 but i dont know what exactly

[lilac stirrup]

need 16-32

[solar obsidian]

mate just stop yourself

[arctic grove]

Yeah ARs dominate medium range but not necessarily because they’re ARs. But because those engagement ranges make unintentionally hitting the head hit box a LOT easier. And with the headshot buff you get dropped within moments

[lilac stirrup]

how much do you think it takes to run the game?

[delicate hollow]

A-91 is such a good gun I was popping off hard with that last night

[tame cobalt]

Can u send screenshot of spearhead tdm layout

[lilac dust]

It's a bit annoying to do since I'm on PS5. I'd have to get my phone out lmao

I'm sure someone else can

[tame cobalt]

rip lol

[mental cave]

atleast a 1050

[arctic grove]

Yeah I think a 1050 was the bare minimum recommended card for the game on steam

1050 would be like 30 fps tho ngl 🗿

I could be wrong though

on the lowest possible settings

[solar obsidian]

game is on game pass, they should have a 1 euro for one month campaign

[mental cave]

yea

[tame cobalt]

which area is it tho, just the central cube?

[lilac dust]

It has the whole first cube from the left side, and some area outside, but you'll only really be using that outside area to spawn on sometimes, all the action is in the cube. Hope that gives an idea

[arctic grove]

We have Neon and Tungsten now

[tame cobalt]

ohh

[lilac stirrup]

980 and 1050 by 2 GB are not the same?

[solar obsidian]

oh boy

[mental cave]

1050 4gb

[arctic grove]

the steam current players for BF2042 Beta is 3 lol

how

[tame cobalt]

I haven't had any action in the cube yet tbh, but haven't played on spearhead much yet

[arctic grove]

For some reason 3 people want to sit in the menu

[lilac stirrup]

2GB of video memory will suffice to run the game, but it will be wildly lagging

[arctic grove]

Actually the menu probably doesn’t even load up anymore. It’s just the ship screen

[solar obsidian]

https://youtu.be/zTLVFSqSslk?t=240

[arctic grove]

And an error screen

[arctic grove]

i had a 100kill 0 death Bolte game on spear head :D

[tame cobalt]

pog

[lilac dust]

Wait that's illegal

[arctic grove]

DriveBy lol

Dang you pulled off 100? Was it difficult to do with current boltes?

[tame cobalt]

Spearhead is bf1 map design vibes

[solar obsidian]

https://youtu.be/y68jatWz88M

[arctic grove]

Nope lol we just had good comms 🗿

Ahh

Bolte used to be so fookin busted it’s funny to think about constant roadkills by those damn things

[lilac dust]

If I find you in game, can you save a spot for me in that bolte 🙏

[arctic grove]

Bettt

[tame cobalt]

Replace the cubes with chateaus and add a couple trenches

[arctic grove]

replace the cubes with Balls

[tame cobalt]

Nuts, even

[lilac dust]

Imagine just giant ball buildings, and they spin while fighting so you just see bodies flying everywhere sliding around 🤣

[tame cobalt]

Kek

[mental cave]

his friend shouldn’t waste his money on a game he MIGHT be able to run and if he does manage to it wont be very fun

[tame cobalt]

just buy a month of ea play

it's like 1 dollar

[arctic grove]

2 hour refund

[mental cave]

he should just buy xbox game pass instead

he gets ea play and the xbox catalog for $1

[lilac dust]

1 level away from new tank 👀

[arctic grove]

the new tank is busted

[lilac dust]

That's what I like to hear 💪

[arctic grove]

HitScaning aircrafts from your spawn to their spawn while they're at height limit

actual thing that happened to me while i was in a HOKUM

[upbeat gust]

yeah the thing is basically an AA tank that can still annihilate everything on the ground

[tame cobalt]

Spearhead's layout makes much more sense for a meatgrinder than Stranded. With stranded 4 out of 5 sectors are disconnected from the meatgrinder. It doesn't make any sense for 90% of the players to be stuck in an endless clusterfuck there. But in spearhead the meatgrinder moves around the map across a variety of playspaces and you're actually encouraged to participate in it if u want to win

[lilac dust]

[tame cobalt]

[lilac dust]

Whoever changed the FNB UI to be clear to see up at the top as if it's a new event because I guess it sort of is, like a weekly friday event you are GENIUS. Clearly the lobbies are more populated thanks to this change 👌

But R I P to dead regions. If this game had a region selector it would be GOATED.

[icy prism]

not sure if this is something with the new map specifically or not, but it feels like the game runs a bit better'

[west raft]

People fr treating a video game like real life

[jade turtle]

yes they made more optimisation

[west raft]

(Completely unrelated to the current discussion)

[icy prism]

i see. it seems im consistently over 100 fps now so definitely an improvement

[upbeat gust]

honestly the hacker specialist (i forgot his name) could use a buff to his hacking

why do i have to edit every message i send because i cant type

[frail pasture]

does the exp needed to get one battle pass point cap at 4000?

[dire pilot]

does anyone know how the 1080 ti runs bf 2042?

[upbeat gust]

its slightly above the minimum requirements

atleast thats what steam says

[dire pilot]

hm

[foggy wharf]

Did they add vehicles on breakthrough stranded???

Cause I’m playing official match there and both sides got scouts and mavs

[upbeat gust]

I think they did?

I don't know, but im pretty sure jets were in there for a long time.

[arctic grove]

Jets get violated even worse now

[raw moss]

Did they remove aircraft from Brrakthrough? There's Condors/Hinds but that's it?

[arctic grove]

since nobody actively plays jets a lot of people just use them as a one way trip to objectives 🗿

[raw moss]

They need to add more Jets

[arctic grove]

or just add new upgrades to the existing ones 🗿, I find absolutely 0 problems with the current arsenal.

[raw moss]

They could add NGAD/SU75

[upbeat gust]

but honestly jets can be incredibly powerful in the right hands

[raw moss]

Every other game had a better variety of aircraft

[arctic grove]

SU-75 does not exist, but the game is also set in the future.

[raw moss]

It's planned. And NGAD might be flying as we speak

It's at least plausible

[arctic grove]

NGAD is a concept though 🗿

[raw moss]

Plus there's only like 5 SU57s in active service

[arctic grove]

6*

[raw moss]

They've been testing a 6th Generation aircraft this year. Not much is known about it but theirs something flying for 6th Generation

Have been since 2020

[arctic grove]

if this is how they're ranked consider the B-2 Spirit 7th generation 🗿

[ebon pilot]

i wish it'd rain on spearhead more, it looks really nice

[stuck wraith]

how do you do this

[frank stratus]

No.

[oak gulch]

i play on gtx1070 with no problems on 1080p=)

[dire pilot]

what kind of settings?

[oak gulch]

medium mostly some maxed and some low

[dire pilot]

do you reckon a 1080 ti could get pretty close to high settings?

[oak gulch]

ofc , but u need good cpu on this game

this game is cpu intensive

[dire pilot]

5600x?

[oak gulch]

what ryzen is that?

[dire pilot]

5

[oak gulch]

hmm

it should work fine

[stuck wraith]

any one how to access this new UI color setting

[jade turtle]

settings display HUD General

[arctic grove]

5600x is good for 2042 👍

[stuck wraith]

thanks man

[lyric snow]

was rorsch nerfed?

[upbeat gust]

dont think so

[tardy plinth]

Is it just me or is there no flinch/hit indicator when getting shot at by the S3 weapons, including the Portal vaults

[upbeat sand]

balance changes dont happen unitl a patch

(except piak)

[tardy plinth]

It just depletes my health without me realizing until it's too late. Can't say the same about the rest of the weapons

[silk surge]

I fucking love the new railgun secondary. It's the most consistent secondary in the game. The burst mode melts people at close range. Only downside is the low mag size, which is not ideal when using a burst mode, but it makes sense considering how strong that gun is.

It's like a stronger G57 but with lower mag to compensate. I really hope they don't nerf it.

[vagrant cloak]

my 2042 have no sound after connecting to the server, is there a way to solve the problem?

[arctic grove]

no idea 🗿

[wide shore]

My friend complained of this earlier. But I haven’t noticed.

[misty pumice]

Is conquest the only alive game mode? Im on oce servers btw

[arctic grove]

Yes

[misty pumice]

Damn

[chilly jacinth]

breakthrough should be alive too

[misty pumice]

I only found a dead lobby

[pearl ridge]

How the Fuck do you shoot down a stealth chopper

Usually they wait longer before introducing the overpowered aircraft

[arctic grove]

EMKV90-TOR

[pearl ridge]

Give me a strategy not a number plate

[arctic grove]

EMKV90-TOR

[arctic grove]

Position back at your spawn with the new tank (EMKV90-TOR) and go into Siege mode then start snipping literally everything, Stealth or not the railgun does not discriminate.

[tacit sphinx]

it’s not a railgun lol

[arctic grove]

all of em are rail guns I think

[tacit sphinx]

…no

the rorsch is a railgun

the shotguns and the pistol are… a shotgun and a pistol

[pearl ridge]

Okay and assume I don’t have the magic magnet tank

[tacit sphinx]

idk why anyone decided they are other than “oh they were added at the same time” lol

[next onyx]

Yeah the 12m auto is overpowered.

Stupid gun.

[rancid umbra]

that spearhead tdm mode last night was crazy. i started to enjoy the outside area battles. inside was just too much goin on 🤣

[arctic grove]

throw a tantrum in chat and beg the dude in the WildCat to do something about it.

[slender isle]

The nerf was good to it. But now it’s a close range monster

[jovial kettle]

Any1 suffer from mouse ads issue?

[pearl ridge]

Oh I didn’t miss this from bf4

Some cunt in a little bird

This is why I hate helicopters.

And of course it’s painted in the “got a gajillion kills” skin

[slender isle]

Ahahahah welcome to modern battlefield. Spear head is a great map for not getting farmed by Helis

[pearl ridge]

This is what happens when you uphold a deeply flawed game as the peak of the series.

[pine roost]

I'm surprised how many people just hate helis with the bottom of their hearts

I've just come to accept that they are there and have adapted to deal with them in my games

[arctic grove]

I beg to differ

[rancid umbra]

i had the problem using controller. it was pointless to ads, even at longer ranges hip firing worked better. was never sure if it was my terrible aiming lol

[shy latch]

I think the main problem is when there is a very good heli pilot (on the enemy team) but no ones from the team try to counter it with both AA vehicle and weapon and/or Rao

[pine roost]

then said players are the ones who complain

it's just really confusing

I've had games like that though

someone chats about the enemy attack heli but never switches off of assault to actually deal with them

[arctic grove]

honestly RAO hacking is mostly ineffective 🗿

He got me out of stealth, Okay cool here have flares while I speed to the other cube.

[pine roost]

well i'd disagree

[shy latch]

well but at least after Rao hacking the heli will fly away for a while

[pine roost]

you've managed to deter him and force him out of your area

which is useful

you aren't dead, and he won't be back for another 17 seconds

then just repeat

[shy latch]

is not useful, it's a small time advantage for infantry and ground vehicles

so it's something more than useful

[arctic grove]

I haven't had any especially good Rao's I just kind of Delete them before hand

[uncut bay]

rao's hacking just about sums up most forms of anti air, it just makes them fly somewhere temporarily

[pine roost]

which is the goal

[shy latch]

exactly

[pine roost]

and if the pilot makes a mistake, that's when they die

[uncut bay]

then they come back in 30 seconds, repeat until nobody has any ammo left and die

[arctic grove]

I can agree with that

[uncut bay]

it could be a cool dynamic but we don't have unlimited rockets to keep playing that game

[pine roost]

you do if there's an angel literally anywhere

[arctic grove]

I have survived entire games with no problem but once you panic and stealth/flare mode a faster than necessary you are dead.

[uncut bay]

lucky you if that's how it is for you

would be more handy if we could just grab ammo off their backs like bfv

[pine roost]

would be, yes

[pearl ridge]

Well, gunning in the Super Hind is definitely the Republic LAAT experience

[arctic grove]

Gunning in the Hokum/Apache is the most fun 👍

[pine roost]

had someone thank me for being a good gunner a few days back and it was nice that someone was actually thankful for once

[arctic grove]

if they make the gunner on the Stealth not useless (the EMP is no Joke), the stealth would become a Anti-Everything 🗿

[pine roost]

we also now have a dedicated AA slot, which means a counter is always more readily available

oh and jets too

[arctic grove]

Love how in real life jets are the embodiment of ingenuity and firepower but in 2042 they are just used as a One way trip to the enemy objectives.

[pine roost]

it's always been that way in bf :/

bit annoying but also funny when it happens

[arctic grove]

I've seen bf4 jets, That is not true.

[pine roost]

nowadays yes cause people actually know how to fly them, but i've seen my fair share of bailers

[arctic grove]

I've tried playing Jets on bf4 but the skill Level of the Vehicle players is so high I cannot stay alive 🗿

[pine roost]

vehicles done right

there's a reason why jet players didn't bother to play 2042

[rancid umbra]

I've always found it cool to randomly spawn in the heli and witness an amazing pilot do their thing. a lot cooler than randomly spawning into the pilot seat as the heli falls down lol

[upbeat sand]

Teir 1 Irish

Finally

[delicate hollow]

I'm 500 away from T1 angel

[foggy wharf]

Can I not post pics or clips?

[delicate hollow]

I think in a specific channel

[arctic grove]

#streams-and-videos

[upbeat sand]

Hildur is doing a great job on the soundtrack

[pine roost]

you can post clips with the regular or server boosting roles, but not for the purpose of promoting your channel

[foggy wharf]

Thanks

[arctic grove]

mostly just shit posting

[pine roost]

or just cool clips you've downloaded

people do that too

[arctic grove]

oh yeah that dude with the wide monitor posts clips sometimes

very cool wide monitor

[teal tide]

Aghhhhhh the 2042 bug for the series x is back, It turns off your console mid match 😔

[arctic grove]

its just overheating.

[slender isle]

OCE players are right to complain due to the low player count and having like all of the top heli pilots

[pearl ridge]

I haven’t had fun on Shanghai in years because of them

[upbeat sand]

Oce is really hard to get into the vehicles if you ever choose too cause it's dominated by the top and you'll never be able to go outside of spawn without being seen as F O O D

[hallow moat]

how do i enable dubble xp 100%???

or boost*

[upbeat sand]

It autos for an hour when you unlock it

[pine roost]

honestly I improve the fastest when against good players

[upbeat sand]

Don't worry it dosent go away the double xp counter only goes down if your in game

[pine roost]

I don't expect to be good at something the instant I try

[upbeat sand]

You can get it then go "ahh shi I need to do somethin" come back and you will still have double on

[pine roost]

played one match of bf1 against someone who was clearly experienced. Only managed to kill them once but it was so fun

[hallow moat]

do it works in co-op or only online?

[pearl ridge]

The problem with oce servers is that the chopper players are so obnoxiously overpowered that nobody even bothers trying to shoot them down anymore.

[upbeat sand]

Ehh idk

If your just farming xp with the double your scum

[next onyx]

You'll get better use out of it online anyways.

[upbeat sand]

Go play the game

[next onyx]

I think I got a good 80K on that close match on Arica a few weeks ago.

Which by the way.

[pearl ridge]

One clan ran a server that officially discouraged, but thankfully didn’t ban, Stingers

[hallow moat]

i'm not playing co-op im asking if its works lol

[next onyx]

They need to bring back Flashback BT.

[pearl ridge]

And they are all pilot mains

I fucking hate vehicle mains.

[pine roost]

what was the clan

[pearl ridge]

I can’t remember, they still kick around on bf4 Xbox

Pretty sure they haven’t seen sunlight in a decade

[rancid umbra]

anyone know the best place to get map tactics? would be interesting to see the idea behind the designs.

[spiral mason]

how much does the battlepass cost btw? can i buy it with the B currency?

[arctic grove]

I haven't played battlefield in a few weeks
Loaded up the new season...the music is amazing in the menu

I've been here for 5 minutes just listening to it

[pearl ridge]

Also wow these third person takedowns are shit

I knew the camera would never cooperate with them

[arctic grove]

1000b coins aka 10 euro

[lone void]

Pretty sure you can buy it with Boins

[pearl ridge]

It’s like Titanfall 2 all over again, but at least that game’s cool enough to justify itself

[lone void]

IDK how much tho cause I have year 1 pass

[arctic grove]

boins
I love that

[rancid umbra]

i love titanfall 2

[arctic grove]

Kinda surprised by the fact there is no boats in bf 2042
Atleast not that I'm aware of

[mossy badge]

[spiral mason]

And how many brains do you get from the battle pass? Does it pay for itself? That's nice

[quaint vector]

Gimme your BOINS

[spiral mason]

Lmao brains, I mean bcoins

[arctic grove]

I'll check

1300

[mossy badge]

i have a nice raccoon video for you look in general

[arctic grove]

Yeah it pays for itself

[quaint vector]

[mossy badge]

#general

[lone void]

Like to see a couple new faces around

[next onyx]

Jesus fuck the m44 in invaluable when you need that precise shot.

[pine roost]

i've always loved the m44

[next onyx]

I don't like it personally but GOD is it good when there's a guy that only has their head exposed.

I'm trying to get the 12m to tier 1 so uh.

Yes.,

[pine roost]

but yet again it's so damn cold my hands are stff

[foggy wharf]

Imma put y’all onto something, trust use the rail gun as a sniper with a 6x and a 1.5-4x scope

[pine roost]

I've only tried it against bots, but later today i'll go into a real match and see how it performs

[foggy wharf]

I got it tier 1 in 2 days outta the 1,200 kills 950 of them were headshots, it’s a machine

[pine roost]

I just don't have the time, today alone I've got two things arranged two hours apart and since I don't play in the mornings there's hardly much time at all

I sink it all into aimlab

[next isle]

Should be fixed

[low timber]

👍

[grizzled whale]

And all out supremacy and quickdraw

those modes were the most fun ive had in 2042

[dawn hull]

Is the game better now?i left after the launch considering reloading it as i pre orderd it

[grizzled whale]

it has been better than launch since a month after release

and it keeps getting better

[dawn hull]

Good

[next onyx]

Jesus christ you see two dozers trying to shield bash each other and it's like battle of the chromosomes.

[grizzled whale]

my 2 remaining braincells whenever im ordering at mcdonalds

[rancid umbra]

i did the same. it is a lot better.

well this time i haven't uninstalled it🤣

[dawn hull]

I see thanks imma load up tonight.

[next onyx]

Welp now I'm done with the 12m.

I'll stand by my original point.

It's overpowered.

[grizzled whale]

disagree, needs a buff

[pine roost]

bf4 locker is amazing still

[pearl ridge]

I’m usually pretty shit with manual guidance missiles, but Lis’s launcher is actually a lot of fun.

Also my god this LMG is ridiculous.

It solves literally any infantry problem

Even at long range all I have to do is tap fire and they still go down easy.

[next onyx]

The XM8?

Or the LCMG?

[pearl ridge]

Lcmg

[next onyx]

The LCMG is cool.

Purely because it's the LWAMG which is a modernised Stoner 63.

[chilly jacinth]

now use the Avancys

[next onyx]

Lis might be right up your Alley.

Nahhhhh Xm8!

[chilly jacinth]

its an upgraded LCMG

[next onyx]

The Avancy's got nerfed.

It lost its 4HK range.

[chilly jacinth]

its still better than the lcmg imo

[next onyx]

The LCMG fires a little slowly but has a better 4HK and 5HK range.

600 RPM versus 750.

[pearl ridge]

You know, I like it when transport gunships hover around. Looks cool as hell, can lock down an area with decent gunners, and it’s still vulnerable to attack.

[next onyx]

Problem is that they have a lot of health.

More health than they should.

[slender isle]

Just use the 1x-3x. Best scope

[next onyx]

But since the rail tank is a thing I might be inclined to let the meta settle for a while.

[pearl ridge]

Jesus Christ this railgun comes with a full auto setting?

[upbeat sand]

I like the burst mode

[still vault]

3 modes, but no config changes besides scopes

[pearl ridge]

I like how the AT launcher is the good ol’ Carl Gustav.

Old as balls and still kicking.

[slender isle]

Even in full auto it’s not effective unless your are like perfectly executing people

Low magazine count plus fire delay makes it kinda mid

[still vault]

As with most popular new weapons introduced to games, the weapon seems overpowered due to you dying to it a lot but in reality it is just because so many are using it. Once the meta settles I expect it to be balanced ok.

[pearl ridge]

Yeah I’ll probably stick to using it as an AT Rifle

Harass gunships

[foggy wharf]

Na ghost scope best

[low timber]

BF4 Bulldog and Deagle were casualties of this.

[robust vapor]

Lis + Railgun

Cheese the target

[frail pasture]

Shoot until they panic flare (helicopters) then use heat seeking missiles

[slender isle]

Class update gonna make that gun even better due to better reloads and I’m hoping for less charge time

[robust vapor]

I've seen people in helis using flares

Like yo what's that gonna do against a railgun projectile

Lmao

[robust vapor]

[grave prism]

good morning

[delicate hollow]

Has Crawford's new ability been revealed yet

[pearl ridge]

Of course they made a bunch of edgy red and black shit for the capital G Gamers

[ripe hedge]

Who are the non capital g gamers?

[uncut bay]

gamers when a black and red pattern is used

[upbeat sand]

Not officially shown or announced yet but we hav we gameplay and dice said I'll be connected too repairing

The small amount of gameplay we see if Crawford repairing a vehicle before it getting to a line on the repair bar then it boosts from low to max hp

[crimson pawn]

Any chance to see 1942 weapons in the weapon list like b3 and 2 weapons are?

[visual gazelle]

That would be lovely to see. I don't care if you can't customize WWII guns. I just want to use them.

[upbeat sand]

Only thing they need to worry about if balance

The 1942 weapons are pretty powerful

[visual gazelle]

Actually, if DICE wanted to, they can give the Sturmgewehr 44 the actual scope it had.

[upbeat sand]

I think the m2 would be good for it

Stg 3 shots I think I remember

Unless ripple nerfed it

[glossy storm]

Thank god for Portal's server browser.

[waxen path]

xD only way i can find hardcore servers

[arctic grove]

why does the stealth jet from BF4 seem to have a smaller turning radius than the SU-57

[naive sandal]

Hey Alex

Do you know if all weapons/gadgets are gonna be unlocked during December's free to play period? My mates are gonna give the game a try - I hope that they will have access to all the stuff

[glossy storm]

2 horrible things I'm encountering currently:

1. Weird slow motion effect (likely resulting from latency).
2. Severely low quality textures.

[arctic grove]

have you seen the Anti-Air Heat seeking rocks yet lol

[glossy storm]

Nope.

And I'm already dead 2 seconds before it shows me dying, LOL.

[arctic grove]

sometimes if you're lucky you'll see a Piece of a mountain flying in the sky at break neck speeds towards a Flying target, Its the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life.

[glossy storm]

Haha.

BTW, does anyone have any tips to improve performance? I'm playing on all medium settings currently, and my specs are GTX 1660 Super and i7-4th gen.

[arctic grove]

Play on all Low 🗿

[glossy storm]

IK, not the best specs, but I can't improve my situation.

[arctic grove]

Low and ultra have literally no visual difference

[glossy storm]

Hm, alright.

[arctic grove]

I can screenshare all ultra for you if you want to compare 🗿

Rush 😴

[next onyx]

2042 in a nutshell.

[arctic grove]

SUBUUUWUYYAUUUWHAAT

[chilly jacinth]

6 bajillion ping moment

[next onyx]

There's a sneaky point on spearhead as well.

[glossy storm]

Tried on low too, but it's not a huge difference.

I'm gonna be honest: I like this game, but my system's just not good enough to handle it on a satisfactory level.

[dense hedge]

s3 is overrated

s1 is still the best season

[arctic grove]

Pre season.

[dense hedge]

the game feels soo good

i prefer 2042 over mw2019 coldwar vanguard mw2022 fast paced mechanics

[remote kiln]

it's free to play not free to unlock, the only times the guns were unlocked is during the beta, they'll still need to do the progression to get the guns

and that's because if they buy the game their progress will carry over

[low timber]

Can’t you switch squads anymore?
Because I want to switch squads as some PC player keeps harassing me because I’m on console.

Tried to even team kill me with the Anghel crate

[visual gazelle]

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. It's weird. Maybe it doesn't let you because the squad you're in is the only one available.

[visual gazelle]

You should report those people for harassing you.

[low timber]

Did report them for Voip, but they also used the chat

[remote kiln]

you can switch, but only if there's a squad actually open

and that's rarely the case if the lobby's full

[severe igloo]

i got a question to people, if any of y'all uses dozer. do yall equip a shotgun on that guy and metal plates and just run around meleeing everyone and whopping out shotguns when people dont pay attention

its so dumb and funny when there is a whole corner shooting at you but you are just running at them meleeing 3 or 4 people in the row

[low timber]

I did just XM370A a Dozer with their shield up

[steel plover]

does Spearhead have a different weather than sunny? if anyone knows

[low timber]

Was coming at me so I couldn’t shoot at them, but they were still far enough for me to lock the distance and fire away

There should be a rain weather as well

[steel plover]

hmm, okay

I like the map a lot either way, I'd love for them to add more than just 1 map per season, hopefully

[chilly jacinth]

Very unlikely to happen

[steel plover]

does anyone even buy the battle pass?

[wintry parrot]

I've had it with rain like, once I think

[low timber]

The new map is beautiful and has some nice compact areas, but on Breakthrough I’ve seen the first two sectors being the loss of the attackers most of the time.

[wintry parrot]

Never seen any weather events though

[steel plover]

me too, and I've always had it with sun

I use the tornado to fly away though on other maps hahaha

[pearl ridge]

I swear knocking down filled transports makes me feel something

[low timber]

It fills you with your teams appreciation

[wintry parrot]

Which sucks, I'd love to see a tornado ripping panels off the automated factories

[arctic grove]

Anyone know the best smg to use

[edgy oriole]

pp for big ammo plays, k30 for mobility and some people say pbx with close combat (i think)

[wintry parrot]

PBX is a pretty good all rounder in my experience

[edgy oriole]

pbx is my fav gun bc how in the middle it is, but people hold it higher than what i really think it does.

[wintry parrot]

Eh, I like it, I think its pretty solid for what it is

Definitely prefer the PP29 though for most situations

[edgy oriole]

all the top kills on the battlefield tracker has the pp in their top kills tho. so id use that, but k30 so fast.

[next onyx]

PBX with close combat annihilates.

[delicate hollow]

I used to rock the MP9 back when the game first came out and that gun used to go hard

I think they updated it and messed with it's spread or something because I ain't getting the kind of shots I used to

[edgy oriole]

I always hated the mp9 never enjoyed it for some reason

[wintry parrot]

I never really used it, I kinda just stuck to the PP29 when I unlocked it

[delicate hollow]

The first time I picked up that gun it was like love at first site lol

[mental delta]

Me too, still trying to figure out why people like it so much

I like XM8 a lot though

Had a conquest game on spearhead yeaterday

Felt like I was playing a trailer

[edgy oriole]

im averaging 25+ headshots on spearhead with new rifle.

[zealous loom]

Is there any way to reduce input lag?

[surreal portal]

Play console? Idk I don’t think there’s much that helps

[pastel loom]

i hear these kinds of problems almost only in pc
so yes, console is usually the solution

[zealous loom]

[lean bridge]

Hello

[glossy storm]

Has anyone been to that server in Portal where everyone is just shooting ammo boxes?

[edgy oriole]

i dont touch portal

what does it doo

you get exp for blowing up ammo boxing or something

[ripe hedge]

You enter the blue one, exit on the orange one. Very simple.

[edgy oriole]

for max exp

omw to portal

[kindred flint]

bold of alex to show up here..after this throwing knife was added to the game

[edgy oriole]

he also leaked 2042 x portal

[naive sandal]

Think all weapons and gadgets should be accessible to new players during the free to play period - this gives them a chance to try more stuff

[remote kiln]

they wont be, and shouldnt be

[sturdy patio]

.

[pearl ridge]

They did really well with the sound design of Lis's missiles.

Was in a helicopter and some guys on the ground kept firing them at us, and getting damn close.

Pilot had to do some really fancy flying to shake them.

[low timber]

Lol, there were 6 enemies behind the smallest sandbag wall that went flying after my airburst

[edgy oriole]

my airburst gets them down to 10 health then stops doing damage.

i am a big W key advocate tho so i prolly need to change my approach

[lilac dust]

God I fucking love using zain to flush out campers

[lilac dust]

Disagree with that. With that logic the beta should have given everybody acess to all gadgets, but then a big part of the fun is gone, unlocking new equipment and having a sense of progression early on which keeps a lot of players invested.

[shell ermine]

Low attention span players

In my day we got enjoyment from the gameplay itself, not from a pavlovian response to "ranks" and "unlocks"

I honestly hate it and have hated it for the better part of 15 years now, I just want everything available from the start. No gameplay unlocks in any fashion.

[willow sky]

Spearhead is really fun

[calm bison]

Do you guys think the Abrams X belongs in 2042 or would it be outdated by then

[modest ivy]

well well well, who do we have here 😄

[shell ermine]

The hunt begins

[edgy oriole]

[modest ivy]

shit!

[median path]

the tier 29 mackay bp skin looks like the lego figure i had, i lost him sadly

[hexed mango]

man youre getting meleed by him. ya gotta step up

[edgy oriole]

couldnt be me

[modest ivy]

I'm SOOOO MAD my shadowplay doesn't work. I just went on a throwing knife quick killing spree. People were just huddled together and it was amazing lmao

[hexed mango]

rip

what do you use

[urban atlas]

I need to ask, does this game has a good amount of players? cause im seeing reviews that say that is almost dead

[hexed mango]

right now it is poppin

those reviews are probably pre-season 1

this is just steam

[modest ivy]

[edgy oriole]

plus its on gamepass/ea play

now

[fluid portal]

anyone know why i had an epic M5A3 skin unlocked when i logged on this season

[hexed mango]

there are other platforms, like xbox + ps (if you're on pc, then crossplay will be with next-gen consoles, like ps5 and xbox series x/s) there's also EA App, Origin, and epic games

[urban atlas]

one of those reviews was form the 24 november

[hexed mango]

then i have 0 clue what they are talking about

[urban atlas]

ok

[hexed mango]

what does the review say

[urban atlas]

that you cant find match

for the amount of people

[modest ivy]

No not again lol

[edgy oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/fake-news-trump-not-correct-gif-15152705

[hexed mango]

like this one?

[modest ivy]

I'm on to you 😄

[hexed mango]

cause tbh steam reviews are never 100% reliable
personally i would say this guy is making a joke to get steam points, cause people will laugh with him
cause there are a decently large amount of people playing the game right now

[edgy oriole]

you are feeding this man kills

[modest ivy]

didn't get his tags, but I got him with the knife at least 😄

[hexed mango]

nice

[fluid portal]

what do you get for getting peoples tags?

[edgy oriole]

i wonder if the lady ea community team persan quit

i only see total nowadays

[kindred flint]

lul only 10 airburst kills that match

[hexed mango]

alexia? idk thats a lady that works at ea

[edgy oriole]

i think her name started with an O

its been so long idk

[median path]

does the new map has levolution?

[kindred flint]

just had a match that basically 50% of it was fighting over D1 while holding everything up to the C caps from the us team...and meat grindering them at D

hiding up in the cliff side and shooting down into the D area with either airburst or xm8 is quote potent..until some shit decides to put down an APS

[hexed mango]

lol

Irish

[lean bridge]

When fully people play on games

[edgy oriole]

I dont think there is any big map changes with destruction in the new map

[kindred flint]

also shoutout to the morons on the team that are getting farmed by a low flying stealth pilot who cant use rao

[edgy oriole]

tbh idk if there is anything to really blow up on the new map

[kindred flint]

you can blow out some panels on the cubes to get inside without using automatic door! /s

[urban atlas]

kinda, but in spanish, im argentinian

[hexed mango]

ah

[urban atlas]

Is crossplay implemented yet?

[sturdy patio]

.

[median path]

[kindred flint]

[hexed mango]

[hexed mango]

report bug bozo

[sturdy patio]

I did

[kindred flint]

i had a 50/50 on getting it right the first time

[hexed mango]

so then that is all you can do.

[naive sandal]

Exactly. Couldn't have said it better.
The immense majority of players won't have enough time to grind for all the stuff during the free to play period (ie they won't get to try some of the stuff that might otherwise make their experience more fun)

[urban atlas]

ok, thanks

[sturdy patio]

They said they are working on it, but they are DICE

So

no

[hexed mango]

so then guess what

you fucking wait

[sturdy patio]

No

It's DICe

It can take years

[hexed mango]

so wait years

[sturdy patio]

No

I don't have years

[hexed mango]

then i guess you will have to suffer

[sturdy patio]

There will be anew battlefield

Ez

Or not

It's DICe

Can't know

[edgy oriole]
