it's defo not hardware, I got a 3070 and a 10600k
I really hope so.
Personally I just hope we get more events like liquidators as well as seasons
Tactical conquest was hella fun
Err as in the game internally freezes momentarily?
I've experienced it too.
Yeah I'm surprised this game is getting any sort of positive traction.
Also is hourglass still rotated in as a map?
I've never once played on it besides during the beta and during the tutorial match
Be glad you haven’t. It’s horrible
Every time it pops up on BT half the lobby leaves 🤣
yeah, it almost freezes for a second
it's so hard to explain
but I have done everything I can to try fix it
I got hourglass earlier and the only objectives my team had were about to be swarmed by incoming vehicles
I sat and looked for a second then just left the game and queued up spearhead bt
I know what you're on about with the freezing I've experienced them myself. There's no way to mitigate it. I intend to send some evidence to dice about it.
Cause it is very annoying
I can't play the game any longer than 5 mins without it happening consistently
it's like a memory leak
I remember playing hourglass from the beta and thinking how much of a walking simulator it was
Like the whole map was just large, open spaces, the occasional objective, and basically nothing else
someone recommended I do a full clean reinstall of my driver with DDU
going to see
I've already tried reinstalling it but not through DDU
hopefully this works, it's the only game I've been having issues with
Lmk if it works. Also have same issue. I think it's happening to a lot of people from what I gather.
hello guys if any1 can help me, i bought y-day battlefield 2042 and download it from EA app and when iclick to start the game show me a message "Your game failed to launch-Double-check your connection, or try again later"..
hey am i doing something wrong? I want to play the default maps not that 24/7 new map. But everytime im getting in servers with that map. Is the rest of the game dead?
That sounds more like an EA app issue than a battlefield one
Go into the app properties and see if you can reset it. Try restarting first I guess
also reinstalling the GPU drivers did nothing
got no clue what is causing this
it has to be the game, I only get this issue with the game
I have a i5 10600k, I feel like it shouldn't be maxing out my CPU, maybe that's what's causing it?
lapland as in the place, where spearhead (the map) is located?
if you play Spearhead 24/7 CQ / BT, you will get the Spearhead map every time.
Oh
so yes. if you play the “Spearhead 24/7” playlist, you will only get the spearhead map
Im fucking stupid 💀
lol
Im sorry LMFAO i just got this game
lol
Yo someone just got the game 
is there a fix to my player moving in slow motion and my gun shooting in slow motion?
WHAT
🤣
no way
what are ur pc specs
and is everyone else in the game also going in slow motion?
1660ti with a i5 9400
and yea, its a pretty common issue. my buddy even gets it with a 3060
I never got it
if ur settings are on low and its happening might be ur wifi
The most common issue I see is people having terrible performance, but I don't have that either so it's a skill issue for them
nah its just low specs
i have a 3080 and i run it on max settings with no problems
at 120fps
https://prnt.sc/bkjEjlwSlw0X can anyone help me please i have this error
Spec issue
Skill issue
game needs fsr
game needs major optimization improvements
it's been acknowledged
where are the classes?
3.2
Or 3.1 their wording on where it will drop was confusing
These happen in December
its 3.2, its in jan
3.1 is manifest rework
and based on the patch notes on steam, it looks like #3.1 will come out early december
its been a problem since beta. Id bet they were quick to make sure the battlepass and shop work just fine
I never knew this problem until now
Was never common if no one talked about it before hand
If something in the store is broken and its giving away free skins, DICE would patch that up in minutes.
Maybe because it's easier to fix
i was going to say that
Fixing up some numbers to work or fixing optimization for all devices
ong
Its more of a priority issue. What is more important to fix.
Money problem or performance problem, the money is a bigger priority
Exactly
Not saying it in a greedy stance, if a game has a money problem then it could cause people to lose money or get free stuff that would cost alot
no it literally just is a much easier fix lmao
“oops we put the wrong price on this item” -> click a few buttons and change it or remove it from the store
weird technical issue -> figure out what the fuck is causing it and work out how to fix that
aint no way they're releasing it on a saturday
but that doesn’t fit the whole complainer stance so it’s understandable 
oh my lord
either way its a bug thats affecting people. its been a year and whats really improved since the beta? they added some new stuff and fixed a few bugs. the current state of the game feels more like a launch than their actual launch and the games still a mess as of today. it is getting fixed though it seems, the game shoulda just been delayed a year
the new railtank
i can't believe i'm actually saying this
but i feel bad for pilots now
this thing can kill aircraft with 0 skill
You cant aim while the railgun is charging. Plane just need to move away
unless you can time it
I agree. Game feels like a Luanch now with the fixes and content
which requires some skills
True. I met sooo many noobs just snipe camping
the only downside is that it's not very vertical
so if you can get ontop of it, you'll survive
or just get in a ram and flank
BF2042 pilots trying desperately to evade railguns (2022, colorized) (real)
basically yea
i've been tanking since bf4
i've killed many a helicopter, plane, and jet
i've cried over helicopters and planes in bf4, 1, and 5
but even i agree, this is broken
helis and jets are broken in 2042 so now tanks are even with them
just helis
jets are whatever
fair
but if you can lead the turret and time the charge
you can kill aircraft with no problem
just don't expect to take on hordes of infy
thing has 0 splash damage
jets only work if you divebomb at a 90 degree angle because Wildcats will absolutely shred you with their 30mm by the time your first AGM locks 
Hi 👋🏻 I’m new to battlefield it’s really a nice game the atmosphere is just stunning the bad thing is that there is no kbm for consoles
i'm so used to divebombing in bf5
so when i do it in 2042, i try pulling up and faceplant the ground
You just have no time at all to actually line up a decent shot
i mean you'd slow down and use that extra time to dump munitions into stuff
And given the drift you have, it always feels incredibly floaty
but now with the railtank in the game, you can't slow down
or you will instantly die
Lose lost situation
I had to learn how to use a controller again for this game
Good, helicopters have been overpowered for decades in BF, nice to have them have a hard and swift counter now
Helicopters are one of the three main reasons I prefer WW2 Battlefield games
i'd agree but i honestly think it's too good
wait until more people unlock the new tank
then try flying around in a chopper
I'd be happy with no choppers in the sky at all
same but i too fuck with choppers every now and then
and i wouldn't be too happy to leave spawn and get impaled across the map
True. you gotta be bp 22 tier to unlock new tank
I can’t feel aim assisting so it’s mega hard for me I’m also new with consoles I always played on phone
once more people unlock it, and understand how it works, jet and helicopter pilots are going to finally have a reason to cry
I use the character with the drone to spot enemies to make it at least a bit easier
imagine if that was a mechican
Gonna tell all my homies: Cope, Seethe, Mald
i don't fuck with portal
RIP Portal
i only fucked with it at launch when it was mostly people playing infection
that shit was fun af
What's happening in game
Which means both should be properly balanced this time, not just us switching sides with the crooked balancing
I pissed off a hind with the railgun in orbital that when it tried to kill me it slammed to the ground and exploded
Idk how people have already unlocked the tank I’m only tier 11 but that’s because I couldn’t play for the first 4 days
Heli pilots are glue eaters
i did all the missions, and played for like 2 hours every day since
true
I can barely even imagine how air vehicles are genuinely supposed to deal with the wildcat now since AGMs are crippled
the wildcat is the least of their worries now
Still doing zains mission with the 1500 damage
the railtank is better at AA than the wildcat
Yep lol
Oh is it? Isn’t it hard to land shots with it on helis?
nope
it has 0 travel time and drop
Money. Buy Boins and skip tiers
it is instantaneous
Well it has bullet drop just very very low bullet drop
That’s interesting I did hear about the hitscan but I couldn’t be sure
And the travel time is fast just when the target is far far away a little bit of pre aim is needed
basically negligible
at least on spearhead
Is anyone else experiencing their game go to maximum sharpening when ads for 3 seconds
idk about bigger maps
Let's say the tall building in orbital to the spawn of the Russians in breakthrough you would need to pre aim just a bit
its a good spot for Wildcats
I got good kills in that spot
but i dont think the railtank
Need to try the railgun tank more damage less reload time upgrade
it takes an eternity to make more rounds after you've used them all
Railgun tank is absolutely the apex predator on the battle field
Then just retreat
It's a tank destroyer
Something to use to camp and snipe other tanks
gotta love how everyones complaint against armor was "it can camp outside of anti tank range and farm" unless you sundance C5 suicided it....so they went and make a hitscan tank that "you must camp in the back because its so flimsy!"
honestly devs
Not really. I kept getting recked by C5 flying black squirrels
EXACTLY
That’s a skill issue
if i had a jar for every time the devs do something stupid...it would be overflowing 
That tank is definitely the apex predator on the field fight me about
Sundance is easily user friendly. 0 skills to fly over a tank and c5 it
or fly around and use throwing knives 
loooool
Except zain
Trick shot
Zain is ok
dude, what the fuck is wrong with them
10m 1 hit kill in bfv...100m kill in 2042????
Sounds like a skill issue
i honestly dont understand how they can get simple shit like this so fucking ass backwards
I got sniped out of my helicopter by an ai in a ww2 tank and then my helicopter fell on top of the rocket so I couldn’t deploy in a different one
DICE Logic
Agreed I don’t think the c5 in all seriousness should really be able to be used by a specialist that can simply glide across the entire map to you
like we got a bunch of fucking zoomer devs that only care about clipped kill montages 
Guys whats the best way to level guns
lets agree c5 is ok on assault if we just delete the squirrel chick from the game?
Easy logical balance fix.
breakthrough solo match
stranded
run at enemies and delete them
Agreed. She french
(I Joke)
think of the frogs dice...delete sundance today 
Give everyone but Sundance gadgets
your terms are acceptable
I don't have anything against Sundance other than being french
She used to have everything you needed
They took away the emp nades
She yells too much
i really dont understand why the time to shoot from landing in a wingsuit is so short 
literally allowing morons to just zoom right into a huge group and delete them
The bug that keeps you frozen after landing is still there
Nerf her but buff the anti armor nade against light vehicles
At least the tracking on her grenade was fixed long ago
Make the glider have a cool down
instead of actually putting a slight penalty on landing from a wingsuit because durr its not a parachute....so people will actually land "away" from enemies to not get instantly shot during their landing
45 minute cooldown
Those anti armor nades are just sad and needs a buff but not against tanks or helis
we have a lot of based options here to balance sundunce dice
I rarely see any sundances gliding
thats because theyve already zoomed across the map before you noticed
You’ll see some on BT only using the scatter nade
Sundance was originally my favorite character because of how badass the design was in the trailer but they didn’t give us that so I switched to mackay
They took the normal helmet then made it t1 only 
the trailer...that made the mountain on breakaway look actually useful? 
the same mountain they are removing from the map? 
Every trailer before launch had the old look
it's useful for back capping
ngl that do be the perfect metaphor for the game
Undeserved
I have maybe 2 hrs total on Sundance just cause the lack of drip
They make you work for the drip
so this injustice should be fixed
The coldest map in antarctica is "breakaway"
but the map where the cliff broke away is "exposure".. please reverse these names
Sundance and Mackay have the most skins with some drip wym???
Mackay is unbeatable
-lis rocket-
zain
Now they’re being taken care of just Sundance was never a common pick of mine before the content came in
And his t1 is easy just get kills from above someone
Lis Skin with the Beret is 😳 Makes me wanna main her.
so we got an operator with no legs...next will we get one with no arms? 
imagine not using the lis t100 skin from s2 
And then no head and then full on robot
bionic fuckin legs yo
I dont like Tier 100 Lis. She straight up looks like a crack head
that perhaps shoots balls as a weapon? 
how tf did a ELBC Ram get inside the cubes
in the middle?
I put it there
Stand by for titanfall coming season 18
i saw a bolte in the outer ring earlier lol
yes
Speaking of the ram I feel like it should give it’s team deployment radar to the MAV
It makes more sense for the mav as a transport to have that and it would become a more common pick too
Pls give transport the transport item
it fits inside bozo. So does the hover and recon
The MAV needs actually empty seats so people spawn and bail
even the mav can get inside
i always drive a hover inside IKEA
or the ability to spawn on the outside of it
Mav already is basically just a mobile spawn point
People spawn then ditch
Thats what a MAV is, its a transport vehicle
I've had plenty of games where the MAV stays full
unless they just sit in there doing fuck all
That only works after you spam chat 90 times to keep Spotter open
What I’m confused about is why the hell the bolte is classified as an armoured transport
Every ram driver on my team doesn’t know what to do when inside but when it’s me attacking, the ram is top of the leaderboards probably top in the world
A transport with its whole 2 seats
because theyre unable to think critically
because it doesn't fit anywhere else
put it in with the tanks...but only make you able to spawn 1 of each?
True true
The Bolte is very funny, it barely fits most categories it’s put into
like limiting snipers in og CoD 
It can't compete with a tank
but i guess there isnt tech for that
so it just gets thrown where ever it doesnt make sense
DICE logic. I hope they fix that soon but i doubt it.
What do you guys think season 4’s/the post season 4 update’s vehicle is going to be?
cause they decided to nerf the shit out of it nearly a year ago
Dropped my brand new ps5 controller once it already has minor drift
Bolte is hot garbage now after 3 NERFS. It should be in the light vehicles
nobody knows its gonna be a vehicle 
Well the s3 loading screen has the s70 hunter flying over the mountains
Recon is the best 
That would probably go with the Ranger into the drone category
i don't wanna see a team with 5 boltes
Maybe a new jet for s3 or s4?
Imagine an NGAD and Su-75
Yeah after all the s70 is a drone. But I feel like they could do a bf4 China rising bomber thing with it I’m not sure though
Hey...I wouldnt mind a new drone 
its not for s3.
its a bomber drone
I really hope that this game gets new players when it’s free for a few days so I can level up more
Same
The remote control helis in Arica already basically are this
it probably wont work like the ucav tho
Just making a remote controlled bombed with crap maneuverability would be good
Oh really? that’s interesting, I sometimes forget it has the helicopter drone
I've never had that issue
even when the game had a really low player count
On the topic of drones, when are we gonna get the EOD bot? It was in the season 3 trailer
someone say dead game?
ye game ded
its in portal, not AOW
I spammed the quick search 10 times and it was the same discarded map.
upcoming portal vault item in 3.2? 
Thing was literally shown in spearhead
no idea, mid season probably
Is sim assist supposed to lock on in 2042
it was already shown to be in the 3.2 class loadouts
well yes they also showed competent teammates in the trailer and i dont get that
Faxts
no
ofc they showed moronic enemies who decide to unload into a dozer shield while the trailer PoV character shoots them 
it slowdown the sens while on target
Sick, I forgot they were adding more launchers
Even BFV had 3 at launchers
Assault class kept C5 CRINGE
support really do get the shaft with this update 
at least assault ill pick smoke nade so ill finally be able to use that
assault having armor is more cringe
support will be able to kill with defib
armor should get yeeted
they will
man stupid frigin classes
Armor to Support makes more sense
gotta love the arbitrary fuck you assault, no emp 
You can’t throw it at people
i asked sam about it, the defib in aow is gonna be replaced with the functionality of the defib in portal, meaning you can hold it out and walk around with it
and that means you get instant or faster revives
did they make this graphic before the concussion nade was announced?
yes this was made during S1
its been that long? bro what
Does anyone use the concussion nades
im old
Me, They’re funni
i used them!...when it was for a BP challenge 
I hope it gets last minute revisions or else dice is gonna get backlash
noting beats spotting nade for utility though
yes
I accidentally realized how easy it’s gonna be to get t1 mastery with armor plates
wait....thats getting removed 💀
its a gadget
The prox is being removed?
or rather just shifted into recon
again, its being replaced with the portal functionality
which is fair.
What were tugs again?
wait armor is getting replaced
placeable sensors
That basically just what the prox nade is for
Well I guess it’s more armoured
Yes let me place the sensor in the middle of the other teams territory instead of throwing it
yep. tugs is kinda a weird addition seeing that prox nade is the same thing, but more hidden
iirc tugs was in the beta
so were claymores
beta was fun 
alpha was better 
Shoutout to the 1 guy on steam still playing the beta
yes
oops cant talk about that
i played the closed alpha for anthem, what are you gunna do about it EA?
ah. new player
no idea what that left icon is
Tuk tuk
Can’t even see the picture but I agree bro
the old days
sweaty tryhard S158

Im at S035
rude
or 36
I’ve seen S300
cwimge, play other games
2042 GOTY
couldve they nerf the sws before i get it t1
Hands Down
im 157 right now
happy birthday
Me personally I’m level S900 already it’s just for fun no addiction
it aint a addiction if u dont spend money on it
True
My house is available for rent so I can afford battlefield coins
The only thing in my room is my ps5 my monitor my controller I sold everything and everyone else for battlefield coins
are you familiar with the term hyperbole? 
ngl i dont really like the railgun
I know some people are actually S900
I’ve played since early access I don’t even have 200 hours yet
And I just popped in so I have zero context
i havent used the railgun since day 1
Rail gun is only fun on spearhead
ima just use the new pistol and shotgun once i get them
Servers down? I can’t login to the game
im lvl 26..dont think ill manage to get the pistol today
definitely wont get the shotgun till tuesday
Just sits at connecting to online services
If I don't complete week 1 missions, I can still complete them on the following weeks and receive the same battlepass points? (except the bonus one)
nope must be ur connection or region
yes
can't wait for people to start begging for ammo
one class that carries ammo crates in maps 400 miles wide
no ammo dumps
"we need more rules! readd classes so we have to suffer more"
if anyone thinks it's gonna suddenly create team-play XD
u ok?
They could at least bring back yoinking ammo from support players like in BFV
like in Hardline
you can get a pittance of ammo from downed guys but like that's great if you can reach em sure
or the previous BF game 
and people asked for this
yeah lets rush in that camping hideout to get that 10 more rounds
if ur killing people in 1v1s then youll collect more ammo than you expend. but yall aint ready for that conversation
YEP
anyone got ammo "I do"
great where are you
"under the enemy tank"
yea the ol "get on the frontline" is a moronic excuse for classes
classes were obsolete the second you could custom build
I'll just end up only having support characters with various weapons I guess
the worst bit is restricting the "speeecial" idiots with their speeecial gadgets by class
cause gawwd fuhbid... you just build a character for a role
even though i don't like any of the support idiots
you've got medi-gun lady, ammo-for-dayz guy, and the guy that sets up the big "shoot here" minigun
i want to switch to 2042 pc completely but the boins do not cross save 😔
thats a rip
yea so im stuck being careful and making sure i claim the free boins on the ps5
and i gotta hop on the ps5 to unlock the premium pass stuff too
I just hit Lis mastery 60 👀
Finding a good rush server is so fucking hard soemtimes
How do I play with others? If I wanted to play with a pc friend would u have time friends with him on origin or steam or can I find him inside the game? What if I wanted to play with a console player, how do I find them?
wait and there cross progression in this game
get their in-game name and search for them in the Social -> Invitations tab
Love those types of systems
Tractor sock
whats that p next to the currency?
I have returned
oshit steam file verify reverted my profsave profile 
launching game with this will be hell as for some really strange reason if the game has slight defocus it will somehow crashed my windows
this one? it's your Battle Pass level
the P signifies you have the Premium Battle Pass
thats a whole lotta boins muh cat
BÖINS
hope you didnt accidently purchase any of that with....real dough 
i plead the 5th

i just reaccched 8
that actually signifies you having the premium version of the BP active
the number is just your level in the BP
wait how'd i get the pass anyways. i pre ordered the game and played like a week after launch, uninstalled and just now re-downloaded it yesterday
i never even bought the pass
you must have purchased the edition that included the first year BP
A bug I’ve never experienced in 2042 or any game ever is an ai soldier floating in the air and killing me but mw2 is the first
I heard there's a CPU utilization bug again?
not really a bug, something they did to attempt to increase performance
but it seems to be too much on certain systems, like my own
because if there are, it's worse this time
just installed it, fresh new install, launched it, and slight defocus froze my windows
playing in borderless, i havent had that as an issue
by defocus I mean like, pressing windows to tab out from the game
or even clicking to anything that is not the game
even running task manager to see which part that the game consume the most with the game running at windowed 720p mode isn't safe
what cpu do you have
i7 6th?
yea
damn.
it's a 2016 laptop
yeah see i have an i7 10th and i get high cpu util, i think yours might just explode
anyone wanna play? EU server
i do! then it promptly undoes itself when ever i swap weapons
good feature dice

SkIil IsSuE 
yep
someone called the emoji doctor?

hmm
i will have to diagnose a skill issue
defensive skill issue
dont know how to balance vehicles in your game? join the dice team today 
yo do anybody get that bug where the skybox just flashing gray and shit
i thought they fixed it but i have it on my game right now and it feels like it could give someone a seizure from it with how bad it is lol 😦
bsv still the best overall weapon in the game. what a beauty
a gun that should never have had barrel options
the ending seems about right
yes
hey now...its not as shitty as it was at launch
positives since launch, nerfed c5 range... absolutely neutering the 50mm on transports, boltes,jeeps .. a more reasonable weapon balance than the pp being op and everything else shit
negatives since then... throwing knife of bullshit to the highest order just added to the game 
idc i have ~400 hours and i'm still having fun
dang..origin is now showing 203 for me 
Grammar issue 💀🫵
good debate skills ngl

Anyone know the vanoss crew?

Yep
thats a cursed thumbnail
The meme didn't process in his brain, and he has a stroke
send this man to congress 
i thought that was just a repost on reddit i saw earlier.. feelsweirdman
woo i got the railgun just in time for them to nerf it
oh no you got a couple weeks before they think about nerfing it
ah good
bsv m was around for a looong time before they had the balls to "nerf it"
why would they nerf it though i mean it's just an assault rifle with the power of an antitank rifle and 5x the ammo load
cons
uh the recharge?

i guess the fact you have to switch the battery pack each time you change modes?
just a dumb weapon overall
Frankly I can’t tell if I love using the railgun or hate it
literally dont understand why they make you use the plus system to swap modes
its a nerf to console players 
is the rail gun the new rifle?
The only thing it’s good at is sniping at long range and mildly annoying vehicles
when you dont have to reload or anything when swapping fire modes...just give it a freaking selector switch
yes
Otherwise…the full auto and burst fire modes aren’t great because of the comparatively low magazine capacity and the charge up before you can fire
Not to mention decently high recoil
ah. its fun to use but i dont really think its good. i think id rather use a reg sniper than that. but it is fun to shoot at vehicles for 40+ seconds and have them back off to regain health
realistically if you had a squad dedicated to vehicle sniping with it it would be brutal for them....but good luck having that happen
JackFrags really did the community dirty by making that thing look so stupidly powerful when it’s just…a little better than usual some of the time
Seeing his highlight reel vs actually using it are two very different stories
it's a nerf to just running and gunning with it
you have to commit to a mode essentially
The burst mode is honestly terrible
Idk if ill continue to use it for a full t1, but counter sniping with it is fun. i wouldntt use burst with it and i barely use auto.
you can swap so quickly though..
Only 4 bursts/mag, high recoil, can’t kill in one burst unless you drill headshots…which good luck with that with the recoil
compared to literally anything else it takes ages
anything else you press a button
or you tap fire
but theyre not making you reload it
I mean you don’t have to reload an AK to switch its fire mode
so its like...why bother with it, console players will just struggle more with the increased time to swap, pc its half a second 
id actually like it if they made you reload it...thus forcing you to commit like youre saying
It’s so inconsequential though because it really only truly excels at extreme range
As a sniper
for the new rifle i think the only thing they need to change is lower reserve ammo and possibly change the sniper round to take like 5 rounds like burst does.
what am i saying though....same devs that made the railgun also thought 100m 1hk throwing knives were gucci
In its full auto mode it’s basically a worse AK-24
lol yeah that is weird
I’ve been killed exactly once by throwing knives lol
It’s also my point. It’s just not a very good gun in general lol
It’s alright
At best
Have you tried using it on burst fire? It’s awful lol
it's has good utility. probably why it's in the utility weapon category
It’s utility is being able to mildly annoy tanks and helicopters
Which should be a plus for all the people that love to bitch about vehicles in this game
engineer mains gunna be so happy in january
it is supremely frustrating to get killed by but yea i dunno
i like that you can hit helos that are doing the sky box thing.
main fav part of the new rifle
yea to that degree, it stays
range? yes 
yeah, it's weirdly quiet when getting hit while flying
like you can hear the crack in the sound barrier when it flies past you but it doesn't make any noise from flying through your chopper?
even as a ground guy getting shot at by it...make it make more noise if its going to be hit scan at long range 
So here’s the bottom line with the railgun in general:
As a sniper, it’s pretty awesome. Comparative high ROF, insane velocity and accuracy, great at getting headshots. But to be realistic…it’s not like the other snipers can’t perform about as well. So yeah it’s probably an A-tier weapon there.
But then there’s the other modes, where it just really doesn’t excel much. It’s full auto mode has too low of an ammo capacity to get more than 1-2 kills, not to mention a painfully slow reload. Then there’s the burst fire mode which just amplifies the issue by having only four bursts per magazine…so pretty mid tier there if not bottom tier in the burst fire department.
Against vehicles…yeah you might score a few lucky heli or tank kills like I have but against a full health vehicles you’re just gonna piss it off a bit, but more likely you’ll just expose your position and get yourself killed.
Bottom line is…there are times when the railgun CAN be pretty insane. But the vast majority of the time…it’s painfully mediocre, if not straight up bad.
(Also about the weirdly silent deaths…I believe it’s actually a bug with all the new weapons that the death noise isn’t playing properly. The XM8, A-91, NVK pistol, and throwing knife all have the same problem as the Rorsch in my experience thus far)
my guess is they'll enhance the trail
at least make my specialist scream in pain when they get hit by it
oh that wouldnt work for my character
which one
theyd already be screaming in pain due to horrible heli pilots fucking around and being useless 
side question....why cant we see transport helis on the edge of the screen like previous games?
you guys can't see them? LOL
i mean greatly enhance
i've always wondered why nobody was getting in transports at the start of the match
you can select them if you wasd around the spawn screen
but its literally off the edge of the screen until you fly into the map a bit
and if you fly vertical at the start youre off the screen that much longer
honestly feels like dice didnt test that shit at all
just get an ultrawide
you know what i hope it doesnt render for you anyways
i feel like that would get annoying after a while, you know
having to look all the way to the side for certain things
the UI can still be centered
yeah but this all being off to the side seems like it'd bug the fuck out of me
I don't mess with it often already so it's not that big of a deal
most of the time spent on the spawn screen is selecting a spawn and pressing space
The new pistol feels quite good, though I did only test it against bots for now.
One thing it don’t understand though, if it’s supposed to be a longer range sidearm then why are all the sights for it only 1.25x zoom?
Like the MP28 can have a TV 2x and even the Russian scope I don’t remember the name of that is 2.5x

honestly i want the pistol more than the rail
Next operator should have mortars
no
yes, more specialists to be completely countered by irish
that would be annoying and also yet another thing that would be countered by Irish.
Why can’t kill a stationary target?
can't kill a stationary target that is sitting behind their entire fucking team
you're acting like a mortar user would be anywhere near the front lines, no they fucking wouldn't, they would be so far in the back.
maybe even in their fucking spawn
Literally skill issue
Shut up.
why do you want a mortar specialist anyway when Lis already exists.
Because mortars are fun
mortar can be more anti personnel?
okay but consider this: that's fucking annoying
ah yes.. because they dont have a ton of other annoying things already in the game 
yes
flip the table...add all the annoying shit back in
but that would be another one
were getting claymores back
fuck it, mortar bitches lets gooo
they basically just gave us a 100m range mortar anyways 
You just don’t like fun
Mf anti fun over here
which is ironically easier to use than a mortar because all you do is point and click not place down mortar ->enter fire
?

...i'm able to read that statement but i am still confused as to what you're actually trying to say with this.
Any new projectile being added will almost always be countered by Irish as it should be
Claymores have always been in BF games in some form for at least 10 yrs so I’m not entirely against bringing them back to this game either
Finally getting back the proper bf mindset after watching some pro players for a while
Naw they definitely should be in this game as well
Not enough if h anti personnel mines in this one
Also I think I ran into the issue you mentioned about the auto correction, it’s especially apparent on console but whenever I’m trying to aim with the helis it’s constantly fighting me to auto correct the angle
I mean mortar took skill in bf4 since the info on enemies could get outdated really quickly
I wouldn’t call clicking on a map particularly skill deep
I mean true but also claymores have not been in this game for a year. I think most people have worked up expectations of how this game will play without having to deal with claymores.
It’s like using a killstreak in cod
bf1 was braindead when you could follow the projectile 
Nah you’re not, it’s just another weird thing with this games settings
But I know what you mean in terms of reading them
I think adding claymores now would be a mistake, especially after they've not been in the game for so long.
I don’t think it’s a necessity either I’m just an advocate for more gadgets in general is all
I've certainly not heard any complaints about claymores not being in the game. I don't understand why they felt the need to put them in.
Yea I hear what you’re saying about them too, it’s about the reading
Surely they could make other gadgets, though. Why bring back claymores?
Why not bring back claymores?
Well when it comes to a claymore/tripwire bomb that’s just your typical engie / recon gadget
If they give it a really visible laser or the wires from bf4 then maybe it would work because you could see it before you cross. But ultimately I’m against most gadgets that simply act as free kills in a few clicks
Wait till you see the stealth bombers they’re gonna implement
Since that to me is just annoying. You die to mortar shells but there’s nothing you could do about it
I’d look back at my death as I usually do, but there isn’t anything you could actively change or fix in your gameplay to counter it
you die to mortar shells because the person firing them is likely hiding behind their entire team so far behind enemy lines that trying to flank to get rid of them would be a massive waste of time, and also because you're not aware they're actually in play till they start hitting you.
And even if you do know they exist, it’s not like there’s anywhere you can really hide
Maybe an Irish aps can counter it? I don’t know but it would be nice if it could
The thing with mortars in BF though is generally times unless an enemy is firing or they’re already being spotted by something they’re super boring to use
I hope they add the bouncing Betty’s next
Are there any videos online showcasing what an Irish can consume?
Irish aps can counter literal rockets fired by an attack helicopter
the tracked jeep guy c an drop anti infantry mines
yeah but at this point i feel like just having it risks having like 17 different things that can only be countered by Irish's APS, which would be annoying.
Oh dang yeah I saw that actually
As it should
So they aren’t incredibly effective unless your teams helping you out a bit. Then again there’s 300 different ways to be spotted in this game
Like damaging the new tank… for some reason
wait so if you damage the railgun tank you get spotted
Most enjoyable T1 grind. Kinda sad that it's over.
I’d say a good 3 seconds maybe?
3 seconds, but you gotta acknowledge that nobody is going to be taking out the railgun tank that quickly.
Plus, if multiple people are trying to take it out, that's spots on every single person that is trying to do that, and you can't really move significantly in 3 seconds.
Can we please have mil sim outfits
Agreed
MW struck a perfect balance between unique operators and a more classic team option
It was stupid when Rao had that ability, and the railgun tank should not have it either.
Which is something I still wish 2042 does at a later point
Also
Can we have custom games like cods
portal?
It just seems like a random thing to add for the sake of it really
So you can screw around with everything
Whereas with portal you can only play with stuff you have unlocked
It is a good idea 💀
man
If you are targeting the tank, that tank should use the map and the rocket trail to determine where you are to then move to cover. Now it just tells you
To be fair it’s easy to fuck with tanks in vegetation and not be seen
So I guess I’m not 100% against the spot
Doesn’t sound good
How so?
Me, who’s hands start to ache just aiming on the game in general
Not holding it too tightly are you

other guns don't do this to me but yea it cramps my hand bad
In sniper mode?
The railgun tank only has 2 seats and the turret turn rate is slower than the normal tank, so a railgun tank can't really fight enemy infantry well anyway
yea
might as well give it the spot
With what sight?
i was using a 3x at the time
I don’t know 
In solo games? Like playing the ai models in solo co-op?
Yeah
I wanna choose the team I'm fighting for
My guess is that you’re tensing up to make the micro adjustments required to aim at the target, that’s a big factor that leads to aching
Also
The less strain you have, the better
Yea pretty much I do that all too often
maybe i got the 4x now
I never feel like I have to do it nearly as much as I do on this game it’s weird
Try to apply a slight force to one side of the mouse with as little counter force on the other side as possible. If you have a force pressing in on both sides and you need to move a millimetre, it’s going to feel really difficult
I have just about all the things now
Why the freak isn't everything unlocked in solo mode, just simply disable getting XP in the mode so people won't abuse the system but people who want a sandbox get one
Agreed and instead of just fookin hacking away 128 from solo/co-op just smite the XP
64p is boring with the bots… their pathing is very interesting
I bought the game for 128 man, and I want a casual 128 experience late at night or when I want a couple of games and don’t wanna compete against brains
I use bots to get the attachments I want, then I play the game with that to master it
there aint much brains in any 128p mode

Sometimes I play with em to warm up or like I said just for a couple casual games, like besides coherent faction customization, console kbm support and some mechanical features, I ought to say removing 128 from solo/co-op and even portal annoys me
I can tell that from the number of people who have just hidden in the corner of a dark room
DICE game designer.
Alex 7?
Maybe they’re referring to that caching thing Enders spoke about
What’s the recoil bug?
lemme grab the post
So @LordBaranox might've found a big problem with the recoil in #Battlefield2042 that heavily contributes to how poor the game feels.
TLDR, the recoil seems to "cache" or "build up". We don't fully understand it yet.
Watch the clip to better understand https://t.co/UZvv57xUds
184
there are links to clips showcasing this bug in the post.
Yes, that’s Alex-7
ah, okay. good to know.
Welp hope they gets sorted soon
would be nice.
Cause the overall way guns feel in terms of clarity, recoil and accuracy feels good
single fire xm8 feels like dogshit
yeah but input in this game is trash and that's an engine level issue.
It’s of the reasons I actually like playing it now, especially since the mouse input is far better than it used to be
Definitely not perfect though, when I switch from aim lab to 2042 it still feels different, but you’ve got much lower framerates as well as a different engine to consider
seems about right
That is some awful recoil design
But coming from how it felt before, miles better already
oh yeah of course it's gotten better, if it hadn't, i'm sure someone would've been fired by now.
you dont fix it by firing people
Why was there no destruction in this game?
but then again i hope someone at least got reprimanded for allowing the mouse input to be that bad on launch in the first place
no but you do fix it by firing people and then hiring better people who know what they're doing.
Was it that oldgen consoles couldn't handle it
good luck finding any people experienced with Frostbite
yeah true this just sucks overall, thanks EA.
and if you don't you gotta have people teach em
and if you can't do that trial and error is the only way
i still have it on good authority that the reason mouse input got fucked up is cause crossplay is a thing
because BFV didn't have any issues with it.
y no kbm support diesh
?
It was the reaction to finding out that there was a reason why the gunplay feels fucked
ah
Recoil build up, seriously
atleast its on their radar to fix
what's wrong with recoil
look at the above post
From what I can gather from the clip, as you fire, every shot sort of builds up a downwards force so that when you move down, the distance you move is inconsistent and varies depending on the time taken before moving the last time
That’s my understanding anyways
So I just got hourglass in the infantry only portal mode
tldr
Wow
shits fucked
it's always been
Do you like it? Do you like Hourglass, 2042s best map?
Hourglass didn't change
:hurtsjustabit.jpg
No, no I did not
Still dogshit

leg deeeey!
im so confused as to what im looking at
How is THIS map in the infantry only mode

Its so big, there's literally nothing to do between objectives
skill issue
honestly
In discarded I hope they make it so the sub can be entered
hourglass rework is gonna be the best one
my fav thing about hourglass is attackers gets 800 vehicles and defenders gets 1 vehicle
I'm not sure either echo but it sounds like Alex has a lead on it.
And increase the sub size to make it look like a sub
aah hell.. 30 kills away from exploders on the crossbow
that would mean new assets
what he is doing is firing off a few shots without controlling recoil, and then trying to trace the recoil pattern back down. What's happening when he does that that the speed of the mouse input seems to vary as he is doing that. Which is not something you want, obviously.
doubt theyd make any for a map rework
i mean im for anything that makes the game feel better, maybe ill ask alex to explain to me
Just remove one of the ships
Hourglass is one of my favorite maps conceptually but it needs work to be more enjoyable to play indeed
Make the map smaller
there is only one ship
There are three
yea hourglass could use some redrawing and replacement of flag locations
Its got a cool aesthetic, but I can't really focus on that when the whole time I want to gouge my eyes out
I spent half the match just trying to bounce between objectives
Remove the half ship, move the relevant ship closer to the other half ship
you get more xp for killing rangers than you do for killing people
no
Revamp the relevant ship to contain a more intact sub that you can go in
And put a objective in the sub
Hell most of us forgot that the map contained a submarine
Make everything closer on discarded really that's all you need to do.
Flash back BT Valparaiso please dice I want to see the water.
i didnt forget...i enjoy fighting in the ship 
The high tide.
id love a map with more prominent water
and not just some small puddles basically
Flood the flat areas, move the ships up, remove that storage area and focus on the town
The town area is fun
hehe tuktuk
Big question, what's to come for the penguins in breakaway
As they are part of the map that is likely going to be out of bounds
I think total fps himself tweeted that no penguins were harmed in breakaways rework
So penguins shall remain

Fren.
I wish the breakaway remake was coming first
These screaming cockatoos man.
Sorry what map has a submarine?
discarded
nuclear sub
That card is pretty nice
I had no idea there was a sub on discarded
And yea the US did a funny and stole a Russian submarine and put it in a ship breaking plant
It’s in the Colossus
T1'ing weapons 
Using weapons because you like them 
That’s pretty much me

Speaking of weapons I picked the am40 back up after adjusting my settings again… besides the SVK that might be my next t1
lowkey the svk feels so ancient now
am40 is fun
i use the bsv still a lot. ive had it T1'd since S1 but its still so fun
They reduced the visual recoil effect on the sight that has canted irons. With the SVK you can tap people at like 100 meters with it way easier. Just make sure you run an ammo box, if you do it’ll take care of you
It’s been a while since i talked here
Been running the AC42 recently and it’s alright
I unfortunately know exactly who that is in your profile picture
At least I’m pretty sure it’s him

doesnt svk have criminally low ammo with standard mags too? 
Ye, even with extended standard you only have a single reserve mag
i think the rorschk MK4 is kinda underwhelming
i expected a NTW-50 level of damage with the sniper conversion thing
not only that, but barrel attachments as well
TBH i find that the rorschk works well as an AC-42 clone
Yeah beyond it’s reserve mag as long as you run the ammo box or a support specialist it really almost has no other drawbacks. If you’re careful enough you can even compete in cqc with it
cause it takes around 1-2 bursts to kill
Only problem is that it’s 20 rounds on all the conversions, 20 rounds on a sniper being mental whilst 20 rounds in a burst/full auto build being too little
parachute doesnt fucking re open..love it
it’s a parachute
what happens when you cut a parachute? it’s gone
welcome to battlefield 💀
starting off 0-3..this fucking match
Parachutes have some really bad inputs still
Very frustrating to use. If you jump out of a transport that’s flying close to the ground and try to deploy it you quickly reimbrace earth itself
Parachutes do reopen tho >_>
I know that feeling, or the games in my experience that keep you almost equal with kills and deaths 
They reopen. But their input is bad
God I wish spearhead had more verticality
Gimme a real way to get to the top of the factories!! I needs it
Exposure was pretty cool for its verticality
no camping
there's an intentional ledge on the roof to prevent camping
All I need is a decent place to jump from to get some airtime with the wingsuit
there's a decently large amount of hills
Which doesn't actually work since you can sit up on the corners
Yeeahhh, but they're a little restrictive in how much height you can get
I like tankhunting with C5 as sundance, its a pain to try and get close to them from a low angle
use mackay
Ehh, I've tried it with him and its still a challange to get close without them noticing
My one desire in 2042 is to jump off buildings and go zoom zoom
Use the railgun 
If they don't get out of your sight fast enough they are doomed
Plus you make them less effective
By distracting them and weakening them for your team to handle
Just jump from the ventilation section
Blow up the walls and glide from there
