Use smokes btw
If you want to get close use smokes
McKay, c5, smokes
For a Sundance all the tanks gotta do is move back or forward to throw you off
McKay is hard, if he grapples you, you're fucked and just hope for a teammate to kill him fast enough
I usually try to target the ones who sit on hills and fire off without checking their surroundings, so thats not usually an issue
Some people get waaayyy too comfortable after going unchallanged from the backlines for awhile
Yea those kind are easy to lis rocket
Unless that person is a wildcat
I trade some shots with em to keep em interested then launch a rocket up
Come in high and bop em
I hate wildcats so much, their gunners always seem to have a sixth sense for when someones sneaking up on them
They are more observant, they plan to be stationary and looking for any details of a threat
Is there a way around that "active protection system" on tanks
27 and 39 revives right under me..oof
Beh
Does it have a cooldown or limited uses or anything cause sometimes i hit, sometime not
It's cool down
Hm
And it last for a short time when activated
Ahh
Funny how its always the enemy wildcats, whenever I get in one the driver acts like they're in a tank and speeds into the middle of heavily contested objectives
The wildcats using the shells for armor or infantry are easy
It's the default weapon wildcats you should fear
Wildcats in general scare me
The medium gun is probably best for both worlds
That way you have AA and armor capability
having a gunner always watching is actually smart though
I like to think I'm pretty decent at anti-vehicle stuff, but wildcats are the one thing I can't take down frequently
sneaky sundance c5s!!!
Turns out that people can and do shoot down incoming missiles
Tanks no gunner 👶
Tanks with gunner 
Tanks with a gunner that's also a repair man 
Like I actually have to angle Lis's missiles so the damn tank's gunners don't brrrt them down
Yea thats part of why i come in high
FEAR THE REPAIR MAN
They're either always moving, or the gunner sniffed the chemicals inside my C5 and zoned in on me
Or sides
class rework boutta finally bring engineers 
what
Cause kids cant make a build
class rework is 🐐
I'd rather just stick with Assault Medic Support Recon. Don't care much for engineers.
Gunnerless tanks are my favourite
Goat shit? Yes it is
Combining supports and medics just isn't good for me.
engineer needs to exist im fine with support being one thing but i wish assault was like how it used to be
Theres no good reason for classes to exist people just want to be told what to do
Angel + medic crate = does it all
xddd
So long as they don't take away everything I like I'm happy with the class rework
Ammo boxes only for support is gonna kill it for me
there isnt much of a way to fix it in this game, but in the future, assault should be the medic people, as per usual, and support is ammo, keep engineer and recon
Cause the 3 support people are awful
its gonna be irish, angel and falck in jan
wait so each class gets 1 perma gadget?
also falck is pretty goated
I forgot that part that classes are idiot-specific
ye
Ehhh, personally I hope they go with battlefield 1-5s way of doing it
In the class system we will see more repair man
You wont
I like assault and medic being their own distinct classes
whats for supports
i know assault is medpen or something
Engineer has the repair tool
we will. everyone that plays crawford, lis or boris will be forced to have repair tools rather than it being optional
If you think teamwork is gonna fuckin sprout out of nowhere because there's more rules on what you can carry sorry to disappoint
idk youre just being pessimistic
thats on you lol
then you are a shit player
Shit teammate
In protest of the classes bs
i think youre just stubborn
Its moronic to restrict peoples builds arbitrarily
Oh boy
guess youve never played battlefield before
I hope it encourages people to actually carry ammo boxes
Gotta play the "Go play a different game" card
There's no justification for "one class can carry enough ammo to fight 1 battle and nobody else can"
Like, jesus christ, I barely ever see ammo crates
Itd be different if you could carry adequate ammo or if ammo dumps existed like bf5
You'll see EVEN FEWER ammo crates post rework
uh
I'm convinced nobodies actually putting them down themselves, and DICE developers are sneaking into games and planting them when nobodies looking
care to explain why
Ever thought to use ammo from a guy that gives it
Cause before youd see accidental crates left behind from people giving themselves ammo
Unless every mf plays support there'll be fewer supports
anyone that plays irish, falck or angel will most likely have ammo. angel will 100% have ammo
The support class will be the second best class with Irish
And people historically do not give ammo unless they're about out
i see a lot of angels and falcks.
Irish is a S tier specialist
maybe if we could grab gun ammo off people who refuse to put down crates 
^
and seeing as in the future they will be forced to use a smaller pool of gadgets, they wont be using C5 or M5 but rather ammo or another gadget that is actually useful
Like in bf5
i do agree with grabbing it, especially off of angel
maybe that should be angel's passive 
Or just let people carry a frigin ammo pack
Angels new passive is he just drops ammo everywhere he goes
AoE pulsing ammo giver 
You see him running across the map with a trail of bullets falling out of his pockets
lol
Stationary ammo crates should be reintroduced
Yes
Nah
If theyre gonna fuck me out of my ammo box. Reintroduce ammo dumps at captured flags
that would be cool but it might harm the dynamic
They had a dual purpose of making sure you didn't have to rely on the whims of your team to actually have ammo, and they incentivised holding ground because if you lost the point, you lost the supplies.
or just fucking play support
The dynamic of nobody having ammo must be preserved
its hilarious they did away with ammo stations
Its bf tradition fo screw snipers out of ammo
whats the excuse on getting rid of fortification system...to much work for big maps?
support is an amazing class
They always play support
sure people play support
I would say the best class
but people dont play support and also give out ammo 
Support and medic players are the glue that holds battlefield together
Yea which makes the whole "extra restrictions for classes" pointless
much like medics that dont give out health or revive
Way I see it, classes are inherently incompatible with specialists. They cannot mix.
Theres that
So get rid of the FUCKING specialists
expecting a class to do its job is going to result in failure in BF 
The specialists thing is cute and all but yea
Looking at almost every falck ever
Some of the specialist gadgets are modeled in to the specialist character model is one unfortunate part
played my first match in season 3, on cq, ended with 41 revives
WHY IS IT THAT WE ARE BITCHING ABOUT CLASSES NOW, IT HAS BEEN IN THE FRANCHISE FOR YEARS
41 asstist
Things being old doesnt make them superior
i just think that with people specifically choosing their classed specialist, itll promote people to do what that class is, seeing as they are limited to the functions of that class
granted, sweats will use assauly because dice fucked up how assault is but i think that those who actively play the supporting roles will see more opportunities to use their class to its potential seeing as its what their class is
granted, i do hope in the future classes are the only thing, no specialists, but we will have to wait for that
specialists suck
Specialist stockholm syndrome
"Its always been this way" is the dumbest justification for stagnation
cause its always worked.
Bogus claim when the new shit fuck the franchise reputation
specialists do not work
If it ain't broke don't fix it
observer you have to understand, the bitching will never stop,
there will always be one group of the playerbase crying for something THEY want instead of just enjoying what they have
The only reason classes existed was to give variety before custom build slots existed
aka they are stubborn
I don't mind specialists, I think they do some things right, but classes promote a little more coordination and teamwork
Stubborn people grasping to outdated concepts like rigid classes
We would all be stuck in TDM if they had their way
This game nearly kills the fucking franchise because the devs replaced the old stuff that never harmed anyone with this hero shooters garbage
classes > specialists
yep
what
Unrestrict every gadget
no.
As much as I like being able to carry a medcrate with me everywhere, I'd prefer that it be locked to a support to encourage them to do their jobs, the current system promotes a more independent and selfish style of play in a lot of cases, which kinda kills the teamwork aspect of battlefield
Lol

This franchise is known for its destruction, class system, vehicles combat, and large scale battles, changing any of that would kill the franchise
I like the idea that people will start doing their jobs like they ever have in every bf ever
is casper a good choice for a coordinated squad?
Except in every bf ever you have to basicslly sit on a supports face to get ammo
Even then
well guess what, because angels can use c5, they dont fucking do their job.
Usually they just... get up and move
it bothers me that they dont give ammo or revive!!!
Bf1 bf5 supports only dropped ammo when they ran out themselves
guess you need to manage your ammo if its such an issue
Not really? I've been playing since 4, and in all the games supports will generally always drop or throw ammo when requested
And since supports can fire for days without a box...
laughs in BFV medic sweat
same with assault, in bf4 they drop meds and revive
bf3-4 was completely box spam, you never needed anything lol 😄
also, this new 3d spotting is the 🐐
Bf5 solved the issue with ammo stations
engineers fuck up vehicles
If you lone wolf to the enemy and die, don't ever bitch about not being revived
You might have to jog a bit but it did the job
this ^
i also see them same pattern in 2042 even after the new season
i always stick with my team
angel have a loadout drop
I def get revived more by squad mates in 2042 than I did in BFV
Medics won't revive your ass if it puts them in danger or is far away from the group
100% correct there,
I hate when people insist on getting revived in the middle of a contested objective with like, 8 enemies around them
if you are in line of fire dying, medics cant help before that defensive line have been broken
Itll be restricted to compatible builds
You want ammo, go find a crowd of people with one or two supports, they place that shit when it's valuable to everyone
respawn with squadmates at that point
That was my biggest gripe as a medic main in BF5
and?
i truly dont care how bf2042 is gonna be balanced around things,
been able to adapt to much worse stuff than any bf game have thrown at me
And the buddy revive
im so musty
Nah it'll just be worse
I was fine with it til i realized the ammo nox would be restricted to those 3
Guess i can just redeploy every time i run out
guess its a you issue and not game issue
Well the game was fine til they bent to players thst didnt realize what they're askin for
It was very funny when you got to run through some poor guys hard work and revive literally all of it in BF1 though, I'll admit
Bf1 was mastiful at getting allies double or triple killed
Best feeling in the world was keeping an assault on breakthrough going by running around poking people with a needle
I main support and I would tell you from experience for me to place down a ammo crate is
- I need ammo
- I see a group of people
- Occasionally I just throw it whenever
Some turd around the corner reviving you constantly while you go through perpetual hell
Which would be great if the average space filler did this
They wont
Usually you can tell from allies when they have that one little marker ontop of them
when you see a group of them that need ammo, oh man that resupply xp... 
- I would give it to a person with a ammo indicator if I don't see a group of people
Bf1 i mained support becsuse jt was the only way to assuredly obtain ammo
Before this change i would give ammo to people asking for it
But if people want this they can suffer
Support simply had the best weapons in BF1
enjoying 2042 so much rn thinking about getting the battle pass to support positive changes
Well the best non-elite weapons
BAR spam brr
I wish there was a BAR mk2 with a scope
In 2042 in the class system, if you want ammo go find the nearest Irish main, their shield+trophy system+ammo crate is perfect loadout for holding areas
BOIN
The one with slow-auto
The real high IQ strat for ammo conservation is to never run out by playing as recklessly as possible
I love it when my guns are loaded with model railroad tracks
Keep dying lmao
Live fast die young, and take at least 2-6 people with you
Yea. My assault crossbow guy can do fine without ammo but ammo fuckery just as usual punishes snipers
Or just pick up other people’s kits.
Don’t you receive ammo from dead people
hmm, they can cry about it.
Like it’s not a lot but it helps a bit
Not alot
Sprayers and people who pile bodies on flags will be unaffected
Historically bf games fuck over snipers
Smoke trails and insane ammo loads
Sniping is an odd practice in a PVP shooter anyway, considering the method of it and how video games work.
Honestly I don’t know why sniper rifles are even in the game at all.
"Daaahheeee just bring your 60lb rifle with a 10x scope to the front line"
That never gets old
What fucking world would you bring a 60lb rifle to war
acting like rifle weight matters in an FPS game
Problem is its bf2042 and the front line is,.....................................way...................over...............................there
Well the nsfw50
What
Lol 'the shooting doesn't feel heavy enough' muh realism
NTW50
🫵
Well of course that’s gonna be fucking heavy it shoots 20mm
You can ADS the NTW standing up
Yea the NTW literally weighs as much as a m2 50cal mg
It’s not exactly designed to be lugged around like that
Would you rather the BFV method for AT rifles?
Depends which part
Yes actually
Has anyone got the damage stats for the ACWR?
It’s more of an anti material rifle anyway.
Bf5s velocity for AT rifles was bullshit
But like if i could have actual damage sure. Prone is fine
So are the velocities for tank shells but here we are
Oh nah
yall think 2042 will make a comeback
AT rifles in bf5 fired at like 200fps
does tank shots even penetrate in this game ?
It was so bad
ahh
Bf5 they literally flew like grenade launchers
i did remember correctly then
Tank on tank warfare in this game kinda dogshit
The drop was so bad on bf5s at rifles you had to aim off the scope past 200m
Well that’s cause tanks in general are kinda dogshit
200ms ain’t even that bad when most maps in BFV aren’t even 800m in length
Compare that to the railgun shooting dropless to 1000m almost
It is
Feeeeeeet per second
Dawg you’re acting like this is the worst thing since Stalin
50m/s or sommit
what happened to the BF3 mode
If you want a game where Anti Materiel shells zip across the sky go play that game
where it was only BF3 guns
This is a fucking arcade game
The irl panzerbusche was 1200m/s
So not quite as fast as the rail
shh, you say that and the "cod and bf realism chasers" are gonna hunt you down
Fuck realism
Like I don’t understand the whole inject realistic bullet velocities thing for battlefield
It’s like this for balancing
i thought milsim was a thing?
I need to see a tracer
It’s a big arcade shooter, anyone who says otherwise is fucking blind or stupid. Or both.
It is but not in battlefield
Realistically you wouldn’t see a tracer in most guns until the 5th shot
It’s not cope harder
Well its one thing to go realistic its another to make the fastest sniper rifle thst existed and make it lob shots like a grenade launcher
if you want realism
squad is a game
there are, battlefield is as far away from being that its funny
This game has a railgun any argument that bf2042 should be realistic is invalid
The tankgewehr in bf1 is closer to the panzerbusche than bf5 got
That’s great
Railgun exist
In the size of a sniper rifle
The fact that this game takes place in 2042 already invalidated that claim.
The most unrealistic part about the railgun is probably the hotswap power pack smaller than a car engine
20 years of advancement maybe they found somethin
guys are we avoiding the fact that bf4 had a super futuristic railgun weapon?
Refer to my earlier textwall about the state of the railgun
But like todays handheld railgun is basically a glorified bb gun
i think the next specialist should have a mortar but they need to find a way to make it not op
As a battlepickup in the last set of DLC maps.
oh is it not full out now?
oh so they only put it on gamepass
oh...
Even in bf1 where there was so much detail to reality, most of the guns were just prototypes or ideas that never went to warfare
The current railgun general atomics wanted to sell to the navy requires like 10 cargo containers full of capacitors
game pass is unlimited access
Yeah thats what I meant
i thought putting it on gamepass would also include putting it on ea play but ig not
Its a 10 hour trial of the full game
20 years being able to put it into a tank...hmmmmm
lets not forget the super small gun in, which one was it? 1 or 5? lmao
1
Just after 10 hours of gameplay you have to buy the full game to keep playing
ty
Kolibri was in 1 yeah
What, the kolibri? What about it?
V had the liberator
The hellreigel in battlefield 1 never existed
no idea, they might just released it as a gamepass game to NOT* give free access on the dirt cheap ea play subscription
sooooo I can play it forever cause I have ultimae?
The SMG 08 was a prototype.
The correct answer
Even the real life counterpart wasn't even identical
It was not actually used in the war.
game pass ?
There's this one anime"gasaraki" and its basicslly modern but they have giant mecha and at one point they go
"It doesnt make sense we have this technology"
ye
We're just ignoring the VTOL gunship thats been in the game since launch? Like thats some futuristic shit
Barely
no it says trial for the 10 hour
¯_(ツ)_/¯
game pass gives unlimited acess
Its just a gussied up version of what we have
but it just says Battlefield 2042 Xbox Series X/S
We don't have VTOL jets like that though, not on something that big
install and try
yeah we have vtol jets
I just know that this game is not at all realistic, Battlefield has never been primarily focused on realism.
Because its just the full game, you just only have access through EA for 10 hours
Yeah I know about the Osprey
sadge
when 9mm pistol can kill a person with some shots on a bulletproof vest
The hard part with making the Osprey use jets would be a jet engine thst can change thrust that fast
Just play the game if you want to if not don't
Just not a jet version of that (frankly impractical, I'd imagine)
the osprey sucks
But also not something we have the tech for
flying death trap
Cause lift is harder thats why the osprey has big blades
Like I said. It’s not focused on realism. Battlefield is a big arcade shooter.
Oh even the Thompson in bf1, in reality the gun never saw combat in ww1
BF is not about realism, its about shit that looks cool and goes boom
This whole thing has the same feeling as the "quit having fun" meme
Realistically the 5.7mm guns would be better vs body armor than 9mm
i made that as a joke and agreeing with you 😄
5.7 pierces kevlar way better
I know, just saying.
they had vtol on jets since like 2013 i think
The Harrier has been around a lot longer than 2013
VTOL was in the Cold War
Well the f35 uses a hybrid system using a ducted jet and a shaft drive fan
hold on I searched "is battlefield 2042 free on gamepass" and now I'm very fuckin confused
The harrier used direct output
We have VTOL jets, just not on anything as big as the Osprey/Condor
Problem with the harrier is the jet outlets being at the sides attracted heat seeking missiles closer to the cockpit
what level do I have to be to have image perms
Season 5 well have moonraker lasers and mandalorian jetpacks
I cant belive it
Regular role is automatically given at a certain threshold
That's how you get image perms
And your class will be picked based on your username. No choices
yeah im kinda suprised they dont have a specialist who has a jetpack
the one time i have a taco and my cheese isnt melted
Because people want more rules
Honestly? Wouldn't mind a very limited use jetpack
i want mortars before that tho
zipline kinda like a jetpack in mckay
I also want mortars
same
Thats the problem with near future games is they usually go tooo future
Ie railguns and lasers
Like a specialist who can drop from height and use a jetpack to slow his fall without having to use the parachute
railguns arent "far future'
Instead if mackay itll be "better Mackay"
they have been in development for decades
We have railguns, they're just not practical to use
i mean who knows what 20 years from now holds
The only handheld railgun can basically almost pierce cardboard from 100ft
The railguns we have are just too big and power hungry
Navy rejected general atomics naval railgun
as batteries get smaller and more efficient i think railgun tech may become a reality
we relly only need a way to have a lot of energy and magnets
Yea but look at a battery in 2002
Tesla’s actually existed since 2003
They werent like 10x bigger
i was JUST about to say that hahaha
The first teslas were lotus cars with a big ol chonker battery
the biggest issue is the barrel length and the speed of the projectile in 2042 is unrealisitc
They looked better too
a short barrel would cause a slow projectile
are they gonna add the 240b into the main game
Cause they were lotuses
because no time for the speed to build
Frankly we've already got the LCMG, I just don't really know what role the 240B would hold
yeah now they look generic and have a shit AI autopilot for some reason
Yea to get the projectile fadt enough the power pack would have to be even more insane
the 240 is just cooler
I'd be fine with like... a big huge AT rifle
So...the NTW-20?
Like ukraines 14.5mm alligator
power pack is less issue then the barrel length the barrel would have to be pretty long to produce enough force to project that fast that its almost instant destination shot
Oh nah the alligator makes the ntw look like a bitch
The NTW is a south african anti material rifle
Go look up the snipex alligator 14.5mm
is the bonus for week 1 still active
i forgot to finish it and i work in retial so been crazy busy
Ukraine made these huge sniper rifles with ridiculous ranges
black friday sucks
We have these things already https://youtu.be/eAHKS0nVlL4

Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.forgottenweapons.com
The GR-1 "Anvil" is a portable, shoulder-fired gauss rifle made by Arcflash Labs. Yeah, it's pretty awesome to be living in the future where we actually have real gauss rifles, isn't it?
First, some te...
I've not watched the vod on their new one
Damn, kinda wish we had that thing now. Looks cool
Not that the Rorsch isn't cool but still
But the GR-1 looks like something out of IW and thats something I simp over
a railgun makes contact with the projectile to generate propulsion
Gauss rifles just make a magnetic field to push/pull the projectile without contact
I wonder if they'll add the gyrojet as a pistol too
Going even FURTHER back in time
Oh god not the Gyrojet LOL
Dawg I just want my MG3
what if they added some bf1 guns to 2042
Ew no
I don’t care if it utilizes the MMG system from BFV
If rather have the m107 than the railgun
Hot take: BRING BACK THE MMG SYSTEM
i wouldnt mind have a lewis gun
MMGs were fun
whats mmg
Medium machine gun
Medium Machine Gun
You couldn’t ADS while standing up
oh
You had to deploy the bipod to ADS
Basically meant some MGs couldn't be fired from the shoulder unless you were bipodded yeah
sounds not fun
Was pretty fun, firepower at the cost of mobility
It’s actually pretty fun
MMG system was awful ngl
allowed guns like the MG-42 to be crazy powerful without being gamebreaking
Don’t listen to Manic
or the gun from borderlands that shoots guns lol
sounds pretty awful
more realistic
He doesn’t like BFV very much
You could still fire them from the hip, you just wouldn't be nearly as accurate
I mean it makes sense
Literally rewarding you for proning in a headglitch and camping
i enjoyed bfv, but i never use mgs so i wouldnt know
Gotcha
Realistically you wouldn’t be able to ADS an MG42 at 1200rpm
more of an assault rifle and smg guy
It allowed MGs to be more powerful without being completely gamebreaking
People hated it because players found ways to abuse it
Not like they haven’t abused other parts of the game
can someone make a mod for this game and add startrek uniforms and phaser guns 😛
havent you said this already
lol
The M1919A6, MG-42, and M1922MG were 10x more fun because of it
yea but it needs reiterating
Oh yes the MG-34 was quite fun too
are they gonna add the jav as a portal weapon
Yes
this system sounds like shit in practice
In practice it’s a mixed bag
if players want realism, can we start with the gore so weapons explosions actually looks like they impact players
You’ll get some awesome area denial stuff for defense
As well as some killer pushes with it
instead of these slowmo flying persons with barely any weight to them
I think we're getting the Javelin in AOW too
Then other times you get people sitting in corners on their backs
I have 4.5K kills with the MG42 in BFV so I would know
Rookie numbers likely
But I’ve used it long enough to know the meta
Heres the thing, you could just prone in a corner....but you were much more likely to get a ton of kills by actually pushing and utilizing good MG positions
i dont like how battlefield did the jav tho it would prob b overpowered if they added it to 2042
I have a clip on the BFV subreddit of me doing a spray down on B of Op Underground
I had 3.4k on the MG-42 as it turns out
Titled LOOK RIGHT
I had an insane kill chain on Iwo Jima with the M1919A6, got like 10 people at once from that top cave entrance
i had a shit ton of kills on the garand in bc2
Anyway MMG system good, the Avancys never would've been nearly as busted as it was if it had the MMG system
Same goes for the PPK-BP
i like the aks 74u
Ok here's the thing
very nice gun
I can't figure out the AKS
i hate that gun
Like I've been trying to use it but it just doesn't kill
Its so bouncy
I wish it had the same kick as the AK-24
“Sir you executed multiple No-Pats in the name of his majesty “King Burgerton III”. Anything to explain for yourself?”
“With all due respect your honor, the free bird solo was playing.”
Im sure I'll figure it out soon but damn I wanna like it so much
i started using the m16 thats the only portal gun i use
M16 is quite good yes
i enjoy it
What do you run on it?
once you get used to it it has very predictable recoil
heavy barrel, vertical grip and kobra
That shit looks wonky as fuck
no grip, heavy barrel, iron sights
Ive been using the standard compensator thats probably why I'm having such a hard time with recoil
chad
i use iron sights for most guns
I don’t even think I have the AKS unlocked
its pretty fun, i reccomend it
could use a bit of a damage buff
I have my ACWR
Yeah thats the problem I'm having
No one loves this thing
It has a slow TTK

which makes me sad
I wish it had a better reload because this thing fucking shredded in BF4
im almost always close with the enemy players so i dont really need a optic
yeah
im aboslute trash with the new specialist and the railgun
wish some big strong ea dev would come and buff my weak little twink aks :(
I personally just use the full auto configuration on the Rorsch
It’s easier to handle
And more fun
Also has less charge time
i wanted to use the railgun to snipe but i hate having to charge it up or whatever so i just went back to the ntw 50
Why not
i dont like the airbust grenades
i barely even see anyone use it anymore after the day s3 came out
in my experience they only work against bots
The airburst is amazing if you can master setting your range or finding people without having direct line of sight on them
I’ve gotten triple and quad kills with the XM pretty frequently on BT
problem: i am fucking stupid
Understandable
i just want mortars
Basically setting the airburst range will cause the grenade to explode just past the range
alot of the game is inside
big talk for someone with some really solid looking grid coordinates
Counterpoint: I have an umbrella
How do you make the rail gun do a multi shot
i was thinking the mortar specialist would have 2-3 rounds, and it wouldnt just be point and shoot on a map it would have to take more skill to use so its not overpowered
anyone else having dx12 errors and crashing ?
not like bf1 mortars
just crashed like 30 secs into match
Change the capacitor (down on the plus menu)
Is that an upgrade?
They’re all unlocked by default
Should I get 2042, 1, or V, as a new BF player
Ok
I’d say V or 2042. 2042 has a free weekend coming up so maybe try it out then
yeah
Ok
BF1 has a ton of DLC you’d have to buy
I may get V
bf1 and bf5 are 5 euro on sale on steam with all dlc
Ye
buy them all lol
Lol
I will do V for now since it has more players than the three of them compared
5 donthave more players though........
yes STEAM only
you dont look at ea client, epic or game pass numbers
2042 have cross play on top, so add xbox and ps5 users
yes
does bf2042 have a day counter on the trial
It’s doing a lot better
but again, all games are so dirt cheap, if you like the shooters, you cant go wrong for that price
?
Big improvements since launch
It's 20 bucks, worth the 2042?
yes
Ok
Yeah 20 bucks you might as well
Okay, thanks
again "worth" is hard to value, but its a very solid package of maps and modes
ok if bf2042 isn't free to keep forever then at least I have the crew 2
Give ‘em all a try and if you don’t like one then it’s minimal loss
No problem, hope you enjoy!
Battle
id buy 2042 for 45 dollars i think its earned that much
I bought it for $80 just to play a week early 
Top of the bell curve moment
bf1 is peak bf
I'm on the gamepass app right
and when I go down to "recently added"
bf2042 is there
So I'm guessing it's free forever unless they take it off of gamepass/EA play
as long as you have the gamepass
i do
then yes
yes
yay
enjoy
hopefully it isn't shit anymore
escalation is the name of the season
there's probably a gun game mode in portal that someone made but officially idk
oh
There's lots of them
There's the official Portal mode in there as well
If you go into host and then custom experiences, gun master should be in there
o
smh
we where doing hostage rescue, he dies just outside the ramp to the helicopter
i drop the hostage to plate up and fight my way back to revive him
the timer switch to 5 seconds the moment the hostage are dropped inside even without the other party in it
i did not know the last part, thought it was 5 second when ALL party members where in
Railed a hind in the railtank.
i railed....
xD
tho i did actually rail some vehicles with the tank as well
They should just add all the Portal guns to 2042 main game lol I want a M1 Garand and K98K already 🤣
well they wont add the 1942 weapons
i hope you used protection 
but they are slowly adjusting and adding the bc2 and bf3 weapons to 2042
So I almost don’t even want to say this because I don’t want it to get “nerfed”again but the BSV still slaps
still could do without the short barrel 
tho ngl i kinda hate how portal guns feel visually, and i feel like their audio and performance is just weird, not necessarily bad, but like weird.
The hind didn't have protection.
bsv is still goated
Long barrel, Shan 2.5, high power, kobra is incredible on it. 2 hit headshot at crazy range
you could use the short barrel even for long range...it was so stupid
i usually run it short barrel, k8 holo, high power, stubby grip
you still kinda can lmao
Nah I’m legit sniping with it. Multiple 50+ kill games using it that way today
i keep the PSO 5x, extended barrel and bipod on deck if i want to snipe but tbh its so good close up
you definitely cant spray at range anymore with it, that i noticed
but i stopped running it after like 800 kills without using another weapon during s1 
Yeah that's the good part.
its still really good
No I'm not.
ok no youre not
It’s alright up close but it’s crazy how fast you can 2 tap snipers
tbh besides the avancys i havent super loved any of the season weapons after the bsv
I don’t know why DICE seems to be really into making hybrid weapons in this game.
Because of the plus menu.
cause fun
i mean...not like they gave a lot of weapon options
It's cool.
Like nearly every new weapon is a hybrid weapon.
Avancys is still amazing and the AM40 fells better than last season for some reason
crossbow? lame as fuck, im not nerd enough to want to run that over a useful gun... and full auto pistol that kicks to the moon and cant even do single fire 
I wouldn't mind if close combat rounds on the VSS had a 35+1 capacity.
Except for the Portal ones, obviously.
oh right am40 is a thing too ...yeah that once buffed up is actually good
ye am40 is nice but tbh i'd rather use a diff ar, i just feel like its alright but it doesnt stack up against the other ARs
Because it'll have a fast reload.
I'd rather keep to my SCAR.
And XM8 MG is looking kinda nice too.
i bet you enjoy launching underbarrel nades at enemies
Even if it is a repurposed Avancy's which in all fairness is fine.
you sick fuck 
Not my fault they sit in corners.
Now that I think back, getting T1 on the crossbow was pretty fun. Explosive bolts are silly.
And get a 40mm up their arse.
“Oops, we made the Avancys again”
...oh dont get me wrong i was doing that earlier with the ac42
kinda wish the AK was more on radar for use
between airburst and the UB... 
it feels like it just isnt worth using
Again
wake me up inside when the xm8 can put a fucking barrel attachment on 
also anyone else think the Secondary selection screen while ingame needs to be changed
shit is one vertical column with all the guns
“OOPS WE MADE THE AVANCYS AGAIN”
The Avancy's we all know was a 4HK within 15 metres.
xm8 is good but again it feels weird. idk what it is. something with the portal weapons just feels weird.
That is no longer the case.
dice needs to stop being moronic and add an lmg that is an m27/rpk remake
so we dont have "avancy with different name" again
ngl i just feel like there arent a lot of appeasing weapon options
cause it feels like some are just either annoying to use, or arent well balanced
i have a hard time finding a good and fun gun to use sometimes
and i kinda want to use smgs but the hs mult 
SMG’s
Most of the pistols
Some AR’s
which Ars
AK in particular.
what about the ak
AK is good with high power
if you cant use ak...skill issue 
The AK isn’t viable compared to the other AR’s at this point
yes yes
it got single fire back smh
idk i just feel like there's balance issues that need to be worked out
“We feel that they are not weapons which should reward accuracy versus other weapon types”
Meanwhile they just gave pistols their 2x headshot multiplier back
which they only did to make their new fast firing railgun pistol seem more powerful
You could do that before this. It can 2 shot up to 100m
so we can ask him what the fuck a knife is doing in the game that can kill at 100m? 
idk alex will see this if he deems it necessary
yes but now those heads are gonna be flying off
I’ve complained about it multiple times while Alex has been present.
precisely
pretty sure you can out dps a 1911 with a knife 
also why does the throwing knife throw at Mach 10
i swear i try leading my throws and i always miss cause of how fucking fast it goes
I think he said something about maybe looking into it.
uhh i was told the other day its a slow moving object you can just side step dodge?
i dont think that zain has an arm that powerful
maybe he throws with bionic legs?
M1911 in this is shet
yes
john browning really do be rolling over in his grave for what dice did to this weapon
idk my main annoyance with this game continues to be the lack of interesting content and balance
the year is 2042...
enjoy your single stack 7 shot mag fuckers
fr
But frankly, I do not have much faith in this, he seems to stand behind that statement from the patch notes from how he talked to me about it.
yeah yeah its a bf3 gun....from a game that was set in 2012?!
the knife?
No the SMG HS multiplier.
also idk if this is just me, but like guns dont feel battlefieldy
thats super hard to explain, and it might just be the skins, but like the XM3 airburst looks like a battlefield gadget, so does the smoke launcher imo, but there are other things that just feel out of place
oh
2 guns charms are just reskins of the nordvik secret one
who cares about gun skins when we can put cute anime girls on them?!?!
gun charms 
Johnathan is in pain again 
Don't give him the vanguard treatment
he already got it
Again
Like, I don’t think it’s that much to ask that the SMG’s get a 1.5x headshot multiplier to make headshots worth a damn.
They already gave pistols 2x.
ok lets place bets
what time period will the next bf game take place in?
1.25x
ah yes of course
almost not even worth going for the head when you can just body faster
yep
but again this is only a problem they had to fucking nerf because they insist on adding bullet hose smgs into the games
Yeah. Because “we feel that they should not reward accuracy versus other weapon types”
mhm yes
imagine if you didnt have a vector in the game....oh wow, smgs are balanced
cause the AM40 is not an smg
They couldn’t nerf the K30 in any way that mattered
rof 
So they gimped all of the SMG’s and barfed out that excuse.
fuck historical accuracy
I fucking hate that statement.
fuck balance
It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen written from a AAA game studio.
type 2 a.2
Fuck the “sense of pride and accomplishment” bullshit from Battlefront 2, this takes the cake for me.
what about swbf2
nana flack is in it?
mommy
I am referring to the infamous statement that was defending the lootboxes the game had at the time.
oh yeah launch swbf2 damn
It ended up being the most downvoted comment on Reddit ever.
I don’t know if it still is.
im so glad they turned that game around and then stabbed it in the back
frankly i couldnt wait to spend over 40 hours trying to unlock vader
lmao
lowkey i fucking hated heros in that game holy shit
boba fett was my main
some were just so blatantly broken it was anti fun
But I do know that I hated that statement, and I hate their excuse for nerfing the SMG HS multiplier in 2042 more.
I have always had this issue with battlefield.
yeah
Bf5 is the first game where I had a weapon stick.
Dammit easy anticheat lemme use razor cortex
i played bf4 the other day and sat on the weapon selection screen for 90% of the round
Like if you’re gonna fucking lie at least say something that sounds like it was written by someone who actually plays video games.
i use cortex as well
They reverted the nerf on pistols so they are very aware.
I WOULD FUCKING HOPE SO

way should i play bfv

On pc? Probably.
devs that add current throwing knife into game arent aware 
ok
I'm against bf5 on pc because of the cheating problem but if you can find a good server then that's great.
Give the stg 1-5 on assault a go.
Spec it out for recoil.
Well of course they do
It’s not like anyone will stop them, community servers are not a thing and DICE doesn’t do any fucking moderation
@hexed mango
that is hot
Hmm yes 4.2 cm = 360 equals hackerman. 

Really that's why I'm called a cheater from what it seems.
Just my stupidly high sens.
Wilde called me a fucking ape and I'm proud of that.



I haven’t been called a cheater in BF1 yet. Once I have a functioning mouse it’s over for those fuckers.
OH SHIT ea app supports the steam 2042 now
yep. fuck using origin
also its interesting that steam says i have 1,002 hours yet ea says 994
Does it actually recognize Steam copies now?
apparently so
Hm. I’ll have to check that.
"Standard Edition accessed through Steam"
i own ultimate edition tho.
You think Steam counts the time for the anti-cheat being up?
probably lol
Yeah I think it does
in that case ive wasted 6 hours of my life on the AC page
Anyway, I’m getting tired. See ya.
tho ea app says i own all these addons so
What bout other games
and it recognizes all my achievements yay
Or is it only the main ones like battlefield
Owigin.
Ima gonna guess yes
and it looks like BF3 and BC2 (which i have via steam) are on there
WHATS ORIGIN?
When looking at it origin is more stable and reliable but ea app has a better uni and easier to use
tho technically BC2 was added manually to my account by an ea employee lol
Yeah it looks like it has a better base already.
ea app just looks 100000x better than origin
Origin is if your ea app screws itself aka often
Origin for stability
Ea app for new players
Or just like the look
Hey off topic. Beans. Do I seem suss to fight in leu of my sensitivity?
Yeah ea app looks less complicated.
No
What's a leu
In due part.
in leu is a saying
It's weird.
basically just means due to / because of
smth like that
