battlefield-2042

[hexed mango]

zaining

[next onyx]

Seizure.

Yeah you've been off for a bit.

[upbeat sand]

I've played pretty much every day

It's prob different servers

[copper fulcrum]

I remember how goofy Battlefield has always been and only now are people realizing it

[floral island]

will all chat ever be a thing? i miss talking to the enemy team

[calm notch]

hey guys is tehre anyone here who has a 3700x + 3060 ti setup? I need help in optimizing my game 😦

[next onyx]

They've recently run into a hitch where the CPU is being used more than usual. This should be fixed. You're not running a bad CPU per say but running Zen 2 you're going to run into issues.

I run on a 5600x currently and I ran into that issue too. I turned XMP on and it has helped alleviate those issues.

[hexed mango]

so 2042 is on ea play?

also way what gun should i use in bfv

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah, once Season 3 hit it went to EA Play. EA Play is on Game-Pass so 2042 is on Game-Pass

[next onyx]

The STG 1-5, The starting assault gun. When it's rank 4. Reset it and go for quick aim, err, Horizontal recoil control and vertical recoil control.

[hexed mango]

yeah i was gonna say, someone earlier was saying it was still the 10 hour trial

[left badge]

wait is it??

[next onyx]

You can save up a bit of money and buy the M1918A2 BAR for Support.

Yes!

[hexed mango]

neato

[copper fulcrum]

As my message said, yes.

[left badge]

son of a-

[next onyx]

The BAR is one of the best weapons. Arm it with fast reload.

20 round mag is a bit low but the faster reload helps a lot.

OH YEAH.

[copper fulcrum]

oh no

[next onyx]

Use the NYDAR on the STG 1-5.

And go for the AA sights on the BAR.

Cause its irons are shit.

[hexed mango]

my bro is ripped

[next onyx]

JACK.

[copper fulcrum]

Way likes Americans

[next onyx]

Man if I had gigabit internet I'd download that game instantly and play with you.

[hexed mango]

lol

[next onyx]

Nah Hannah the best.

Play as Hannah. Do it.

Best girl.

[hexed mango]

Hannah!!!!!!!!!! NO Bf4 memories

[next onyx]

French Hannah better.

By the way. Try jumping and crouching while in mid air. You can jump slide (Nicknamed the Bueno slide) and really mess with people.

It's better on console because it ruins peoples aim assist.

[calm notch]

damn. they say anything about a date of fix?

[hexed mango]

Soon™️

probably the 3.1 update, second week of dec

[next onyx]

Yeah should be upcoming update or maybe 3.2 which is stated for January.

[calm notch]

jeez

[next onyx]

Do you have XMP enabled?

[calm notch]

this battlepass is gonna be brutal

[next onyx]

It's helped me a lot.

[calm notch]

idk how to activate it

[next onyx]

It's a BIOS thing.

Err.

[calm notch]

ah

welp

[next onyx]

Press the Bios key right as your computer starts up and turn it on. It's also known as err...

[calm notch]

il figure it out

[next onyx]

Yeah.

I used Freethie's guide to optimise my PC.

[calm notch]

didnt spend 3 years in engineering just to cry over this xD

[next onyx]

Yeah you'll find a way!

I barely know shit about computers I just know what makes the fans go VROOM.

[floral island]

any word on all chat for 2042? being able to communitcate with the enemy team was pretty fun imo

[next onyx]

Yeah no word about that.

It's a shame but it is what it is.

[floral island]

gotcha

[calm notch]

LOL

[hexed mango]

XMP is just ram timings tho, doesnt help with cpu usage

might help with allocating resources in memory tho

[next onyx]

I know that battlefield loves RAM.

[hexed mango]

nom nom

[next onyx]

I dunno. I don't entirely know what it does but I know it helps.

Maybe it's just a placebo.

[hexed mango]

it is

jkjk

xmp is good to have enabled

[floral island]

all xmp does it let you take full potential of your ram pretty much

[next onyx]

Nahhhh I get what you mean.

It does but it doesn't either.

[hexed mango]

way am i crazy?

[next onyx]

Hehe cl16 3600mhz go brr.

[hexed mango]

it says i have something unread

[next onyx]

Oh it's annoying.

[somber widget]

It’s a glitch lol

[next onyx]

Yeah you can set it to mark all.

[somber widget]

Been that way forever

[next onyx]

Unfort lol.

[hexed mango]

ok i thought i was going crazy

[next onyx]

But hey.

You see that Staghound?

[somber widget]

I used to sit there looking for the missed item like WHERE

then i realized

lol

[next onyx]

See why I call the C-RAM the staghound?

THEY'RE LITERALLY THE SAME.

[tepid agate]

Okay wth happend to bfv on steam I see it's gone up to 57k 👀 has it gone free to play or something?

[next onyx]

No.

[hexed mango]

wait its at 57k WHAT

[somber widget]

Wtf

[hexed mango]

its cause im playing thats why

[calm notch]

bf1 and bf5 got popular

cus of steam sales

[hexed mango]

i count as 50k people

[tepid agate]

Why the sudden spike?

[calm notch]

and teh new all quiet on western front movie

bf5 im not sure though

[somber widget]

Last time i played BFV it was nowhere near 50k for PC

[next onyx]

Hey Echo can you look at bf5 OCE for me?

Can you give me a screenshot of the servers.

[calm notch]

jsut a bunch of cc's started playing it i guess?

[tepid agate]

It was always between 10-15k online now 50k seems strange

Must have a sale or free to play

[hexed mango]

uh sure

[somber widget]

Either steam sales, or some algorithms on youtube blessed it yet again

Cool either way tho

[tepid agate]

Yeah I saw 2042 at about 18k first and thought ah yeah still probably ahead of bfV then checked bfV and was like wth

[tepid agate]

Wow not many of players there

Is that pc players?

[next onyx]

Lol fuck this region.

[hexed mango]

would assume so

[next onyx]

PC OCE is a fucking joke.

[hexed mango]

what gamemode should i play way

[next onyx]

Breakthrough.

[hexed mango]

[tepid agate]

I'll check the region for PS 😆

[next onyx]

Whattaxi will kick and ban you from his server if you're good.

[hexed mango]

i am not

[next onyx]

I bet you'll kick ass on bf5 once you get your head around it.

[tepid agate]

Wth 2042 promotions covering the screen when I enter bfv

[somber widget]

LOL

[ebon pilot]

god i love this fucking gun

[somber widget]

I remember the BF4 days when i would get kicked for killing the dumbass heli pilot who was salty + a mod or server owner

Good times

[tepid agate]

Only 6 servers on PS for Australia region

3 full other 3 have like 1-4 players

[next onyx]

OCE.

[delicate hollow]

Good ol badmins

[next onyx]

OCE being of Australia and NZ.

[tepid agate]

I'll check Asia as I'm near HK lol

[hexed mango]

im growing old waiting

[somber widget]

@delicate hollow They could never take an L i swear lol, such weird egos

[next onyx]

Use server browser!

Echo.

[hexed mango]

true i should of

[tepid agate]

Okay Asia has 5 full servers out of 9

[next onyx]

Set it for just Breakthrough East and West coast.

When Asia PS has more servers than OCE.

[delicate hollow]

I'll never forget getting banned from a server for getting a single GL kill on an admin who said he wanted to get a 30 kill streak

[tepid agate]

I always use server browser

[somber widget]

@delicate hollow LOL bruh

[next onyx]

If you wanna see a big ego look at Ashe.

[somber widget]

One time i got banned for taking an admins dog tag from a server

[hexed mango]

damn

[next onyx]

He's only notable because he plays in a helicopter.

[somber widget]

Insta kicked

[next onyx]

Oh dam. :|

[tepid agate]

Atleast there's a que

Lol

[hexed mango]

nvm there are 2

[next onyx]

Yeah that server might perk up?

It depends.

[hexed mango]

one less populated but eh

[tepid agate]

There are 8 servers on PS for breakthrough in North America

[somber widget]

It’s also late at night (for me) on a sunday night

[tepid agate]

5 full

[somber widget]

Depends on time of week/day as well

[tepid agate]

Tends to peak in the afternoon for Europeans and Americans I guess

[somber widget]

I would say early morning for Americans which would be mid day for Euro

Prob ideal times

[tepid agate]

I still wanna know why bfV has spiked over 50k on Steam lol

Mystery

[somber widget]

Yea that’s interesting

[tepid agate]

I know bf1 did because it had a sale

[somber widget]

I haven’t played V in a while

I loved both of them but tbh i’m gonna stick with 2042 for rn

I’ve been enjoying it a lot recently

[tepid agate]

I've stayed to DMZ lately so less time in bfV too

[somber widget]

Yea DMZ is cool

I’m hoping for more maps and they don’t just keep same map forever

[tepid agate]

Like a more casual experience of warzone with patches of intensity instead of 100% sweating

[somber widget]

Yea for sure

[tepid agate]

Yeah I'm already L96 so catching up with my S80 for 2042 😆

[next onyx]

I just want to cruise on COD. Not sweat it out.

But due to how the game has been built I just can't anymore.

[tepid agate]

DMZ is the cruising way

[next onyx]

Yeah I've heard good things about it in that regards.

Which is nice for those people.

[somber widget]

Yea i stopped playing MW2 because it was just a sweat fest 24/7

Sometimes i wanna just chill and smoke

[next onyx]

I've just accepted COD won't be as enjoyable as it was way back at black ops 2.

[tepid agate]

Ok haven't even attempted warzone yet in sure I wouldn't last long lol

[next onyx]

I only had fun in the beta abusing the mp5 and the g3.

Beyond that?

[somber widget]

2042 for me is perfect, has a decent casual experience and of course can get very sweaty if need be

[tepid agate]

Grab some friends in DMZ it's a blast. I prefer the more casual extraction experience

[somber widget]

Perfect balance imo

[next onyx]

When I realised I was only having fun with those guns I kinda just said fuck it all.

[tepid agate]

Good thing everything in DMZ also contributions to wepaon exp, levels and the season pass lol

[copper fulcrum]

but it also has SBMM tied to it lol

[tepid agate]

What's sbmm?

[hexed mango]

skill based match making

[tepid agate]

Not sure sbmm really feels applied in DMZ

Shame it's a free game mode too because I prefer it than the paid modes 😆

[somber widget]

Does 2042 have SBMM?

[dapper river]

you need to throw, and i mean like really throw like 5-10 games in advance, then the game lets you "go off" on bad players for a few rounds. It's a sad state of affairs but here we are.

[tepid agate]

I doubt

[hexed mango]

it doesnt

[somber widget]

Yea i figured but i swear i’ve popped off a few times in 2042 and have much harder matches after that

[dapper river]

it did around launch but they disabled it because it was making queue times way too long

[somber widget]

Prob my luck tho lol

I’ve been getting a lot of Hourglass recently

Anyone else?

[hexed mango]

it only had sb squad queues

[tepid agate]

I just play the new map as it's more populated

[hexed mango]

as in it would create squads based on skill

[dapper river]

pain

agony

[hexed mango]

[somber widget]

Machine guns go BBRRRRR

@hexed mango True BF experience

[tepid agate]

Mate that's nothing look what happend to me 😂😂😂💀💀https://twitter.com/DanielWootton6/status/1377945941395664899?t=VNkMXmYwBvyy17CaDtRakw&s=19

[hexed mango]

ight well time to sleep

[plain canyon]

Is battlefield 2042 worth playing now?

[somber widget]

Yes @plain canyon

[hexed mango]

yes

[plain canyon]

Whats new?

[somber widget]

Esp if you get it on sale. Worth every $

[plain canyon]

New movement?

Better gun handling?

[hexed mango]

just tested launching 2042 from EA App, and it doesnt just run through origin, but launches smoothly out of ea and gives me a discord presence

[plain canyon]

Yeah no i already own that

[hexed mango]

so play it

[somber widget]

New Maps, Map Reworks, Vehicle Re-Categorization, New Weapons, New Specialists, the list goes on.

[plain canyon]

I pre ordered battlefield 2042 on ultimate edition

[somber widget]

Idk when the last time you played but yea

A lot of new stuff.

[plain canyon]

Probably season 1

[somber widget]

Then yea everything i’ve said above, as well as some optimizations / bug fixes.

[plain canyon]

Thats good

Wait so origin is no more?

[somber widget]

Yea, usually my main game is Destiny 2 but i’ve been enjoying 2042 so much it’s kinda become my main game rn.

[arctic grove]

Immediate uninstall

[somber widget]

Which is rare.

[plain canyon]

Wait if i use origin will my games transfer to the EA app?

[somber widget]

@plain canyon Nah you still need origin authentication, it requires you to sign in upon booting up 2042 from steam.

[plain canyon]

Cause i sure dont wanna lose them

I dont use steam

[somber widget]

Where did you buy 2042

[plain canyon]

I rather use the main platform

Origin itself

Not steam

[somber widget]

Then that’s all you need lmao

[plain canyon]

Then whats this ea app

Isnt it a replacement?

[somber widget]

EA isn’t required at all, it’s just another gaming platform specifically for any EA published titles.

Not required for 2042 at all.

[plain canyon]

Alright

[somber widget]

Since you bought the game on Origin the only thing you’ll need to boot up is obviously Origin.

I got mine on steam so i have to boot both of them.

[calm notch]

@next onyx ok dude this is sufcking stupid, i set my ram voltage and rated it for 3000 mhz and now im getting over 200 frames on afucking 3700x w/ a 3060 ti

ON HIGH

[somber widget]

@calm notch 2042?

[calm notch]

YES

WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS GAME

[somber widget]

What are you talking about lmao? That’s extremely good performance for 2042.

But okay.

[calm notch]

I KNOW IT IS

BUT IM SAYING TO GET IT IS FUCKING STUPID

[somber widget]

Caps aren’t needed bruh.

[calm notch]

legit i was here prodding my mobo with my multimeter as i was oc'ing my shit

[somber widget]

I mean that just depicts how bad you want good FPS i guess lmao

[plain canyon]

Honestly from the google play store pictures the new battlefield mobile looks abit like bf3,4 combined with 2042

[somber widget]

I didn’t even bother. I just use 2 console commands upon booting up and call it a day.

Still 100+ FPS with much lower specs

[next onyx]

Battlefield loves a good CPU and RAM.

[somber widget]

@plain canyon Is it an actual thing? I swore it was a joke

[plain canyon]

No i can send you proof

Ive seen it on the play store like a year ago

[somber widget]

Can you download it rn? Or just preview

[plain canyon]

Idk it isnt available in my country

[somber widget]

Wya?

US?

[plain canyon]

Nah in asia

[somber widget]

Damn

I’ll look for it on mine

[plain canyon]

You accually thought its a joke?

[somber widget]

@plain canyon Yea lol i thought it was a CGI render from a fan or something

Not anything in actual development

[vale marsh]

Hello does somebody has a problem with 2042? I think my game gas memory leak. It crashes the game or restarts my pc after 2-4 games.

[dusk laurel]

ik frostbite is CPU intensive but this is pushing it, I can't even play past 20fps

My GPU chilling at 0% usage

[vale marsh]

I have 7700x I dont think thats the issue xD

[next onyx]

Good lord.

Dude's got the big boy R7.

But uh. I haven't run into this issue myself.

[vale marsh]

Indeed its pretty good for emulation.

[fading cave]

if you're looking at Task Manager it doesnt show GPU usage correctly. Click on GPU -> click on the headers on one of the graphs and select "Graphics_1"

[next onyx]

HAHA. Sorry but I love that.

Screw getting a good CPU for battlefield.

You gotta emulate that good stuff.

But to get back to your question.

[vale marsh]

I had r5 2600 so it is big upgrade

[next onyx]

This sounds like an issue with your PC? This sounds like a stretch but do you have any crash logs?

Yeah that's big.

[vale marsh]

ima try to find em

[next onyx]

Yeah while I don't know what they mean, Someone should be able to get a good idea.

I'm running on a 5600x and I haven't run into many issues.

[dusk laurel]

Was looking at my asus crate

[vale marsh]

The game works well. It just crashes the game or resetarts my pc at some point. I didnt make it past 5 games

[upbeat sand]

Is it me or does discarded have a slightly different layout

[vale marsh]

so Im looking into crash log and I can say. It contains alot of info (3mb). The issue is that it doesnt highlight the crash itself as Im used to from other games/modding. Its impossible for me to read all of this just to figure out what crashed it exactly

[fading cave]

some usual things: install HWiNFO and setup some temperature logging -> look at the logs when it reboots to determine if something is overheating enough for it to force power off. Check windows event viewer to see what it indicates is the reason for the shut down (driver failure, unexpected power loss, etc) Ensure latest drivers are installed for your mobo in addition to gpu. BIOS update might actually improve things if youve never done it

[vale marsh]

Im currently playing to see if I still have the issue last thing I changed is updating amd chipset. But I think I know the issue and its kinda funny.

[dusk laurel]

Is there an option to pick server regions?

[vale marsh]

I belive it was way too much RAM usage also I got hacker in my game 🙂

[next onyx]

I sit on 10 to 11 gigs worth of ram usage when I play.

You should be good considering the fact you run DDR5 where the minimum is 2 x 16.

[topaz field]

Great to see the influx of returning and new players in 2042.However, Dice needs to push out community videos/YouTube shorts/Instagram reels on how to use some of the specialist abilities. Alot of people do know about Irish sentinel or Rao can hack disable vehicle weapons or Sundance anti armor grenade's

[hexed mango]

bro ea advertising paramount

[next onyx]

Sleep you American!

[hexed mango]

it’s all on their website but yeah that would be neat

[vale marsh]

I have 16gig buts I also paly vids on 2nd monitor I belive that was the issue

[hexed mango]

AGH

[hexed mango]

gig buts

[next onyx]

REEEEEEEE.

[vale marsh]

A lot of polygons u know.

[next onyx]

Hmm yes.

Powygowons.

[topaz field]

I'm working nights shifts

[solar obsidian]

play cod

[topaz field]

Alot of folks don't go to the website or take the time out to read the traits in-game

[next onyx]

I'm talking to Echo kek.

One thing I wish they'd do is that if you're playing as a specific operator and die by a certain thing there'd be a tooltip that'd pop up.

If you're killed by a vehicle as Rao there'd be this thing on the side saying you can hack vehicles and get them to go away.

Or if you die by a grenade as Irish it'll tell you that if you press the gadget key again when you bring your shield out you can access his APS.

[topaz field]

That would be cool too!

[next onyx]

The flags themselves should be really easy to set.

Imagine if Zain's XM370 had access to smoke.

[topaz field]

😁😁😁

Smoke launcher

[next onyx]

Back at bf4 there were 3 different XM25 variants.

Airburst, Dart and smoke.

Dart was practically a shotgun.

But I do reckon that would of made it a bit too powerful.

[somber widget]

That’s one of the reasons i run the Scar

Built in GL for extra smokes

[hexed mango]

ALEX write this down

[next onyx]

Oh yeah nvm the fact that the smoke launcher can put out fire bombs.

What does Alex have to do with this!?

[hexed mango]

idk

[next onyx]

I'm not sure who works on the assault specialists.

[hexed mango]

sam

[somber widget]

But one thing we ARE sure of is…

BOINS

[hexed mango]

yes

[somber widget]

[hexed mango]

i also expressed my confusion about the air burst initially to sam

[somber widget]

Having a smoke option for it would be cool tbh

Gives me a reason to use another AR lol

[pearl ridge]

We can't even get the killcam to tell you what operator got you

I think specific hints are a bit beyond them.

[calm bison]

If you can’t tell what operator got you because of the kill cam that’s your own issue

[pearl ridge]

Oh yeah I'll just identify this random guy zipping around in the dark by his fucking silhouette

This isn't exactly TF2.

[calm bison]

Eh

Not my problem

[dusk laurel]

Damn, I can't play this game.

Its been fun I guess

[somber widget]

Chat malding rn 🤣

There’s a sure-fire solution to all of your guys’ issues. It’s extremely simple…

buy more Boins

[pine roost]

No

[somber widget]

YES

[eager spire]

that is a solution to nothing

that does nothing.

[somber widget]

🤓 Tell me more Mr. Detective

[ripe hedge]

??

[ebon pilot]

he has been summoned

Alex, do you know if the credits in game are up to date? I can't find any of the voice actors for the new specialists

[eager spire]

probably not

genuinely i've not bothered looking up the VA's for most of the new specialists as finding voice actor credits for them is annoying and i don't care enough

[chilly furnace]

i bought battlefield 1 in discount price now i feel like i shouldve bought 2042.

[eager spire]

ehh

[chilly furnace]

i got finally a battlefield game buut my friends doesn't have one so i want to fill up my loneliness to other people that has the same game as me

[prime raptor]

Surely someone wants to play a game of hazard I seem not to find anyone and plus never played it

[eager spire]

i mean there's a reason you can't find anyone

and that's because nobody wants to play it

[wide shore]

True

[wide shore]

You made the right choice. BF1 is goated

[chilly furnace]

really

[eager spire]

BF1 is fine. could be a lot better tho

[wide shore]

It’s still much better than 2042

[eager spire]

eh

[chilly furnace]

i heard bf1 has around 50 000 players in there

[eager spire]

2042 has some better aspects.

like player movement.

and not having as much visual recoil.

[wide shore]

Random bullet deviation too

[chilly furnace]

and game crashes

[prime raptor]

BF1 will always be on top of bf2042 with campaign wise as well

[chilly furnace]

yes

[wide shore]

But BF1 has cooler guns, better maps, better destruction, operations mode, more factions, better soundtrack, better visuals and sounds

[chilly furnace]

i went in my first match and it feels chaotic

getting mowed down alot and sweaty moments to win

[eager spire]

yeah but it also has worse balancing, worse movement, some poorly thought out mechanics, no firing range, visual recoil after DICE had already figured out that people hated it in BF4, and frankly machineguns are way too prevalent.

[wide shore]

Machine guns not being too prevalent would make the game suck and not feel like Battlefield at all.

[chilly furnace]

its still feels like a battlefield that perfected it the way in our heads

[wide shore]

BF1 isn’t nor should’ve been a perfect WWI game. But it is a great WWI Battlefield game.

[chilly furnace]

yes

[eager spire]

it could've been a lot better though.

[wide shore]

Every game could be a lot better

There’s no game in existence that is perfect.

[eager spire]

Portal 2.

[wide shore]

Especially not FPS games.

[eager spire]

portal 2 is an FPS game.

[chilly furnace]

it would be fun if they have helicopters in it but it took place in ww1

in more like a puzzle game

[wide shore]

Could’ve been better with more levels.

See

[eager spire]

it has the custom levels on Steam.

[chilly furnace]

Half life 2 is the og of fps

[wide shore]

Not on console though

[chilly furnace]

cod is a console fps

[wide shore]

BTW that RTX update for portal 1 looks beautiful lol

[eager spire]

that's not Valve's fault, though. Microsoft and Sony probably had something to do with that.

[wide shore]

Well portal 2 came out on console long before games started getting modding on console.

[chilly furnace]

still waiting for halflife 3

[eager spire]

i'm sure it does, but i still don't care.

Portal 1 looks fine as is.

[wide shore]

I mean, yeah. But I’m just saying it looks cool

Not saying it drastically improves the game or anything

[eager spire]

fair enough, it is RTX, it's not going to.

you can't really improve on perfection.

[chilly furnace]

We all have different taste of what games we love, especially when it's destruction

[wide shore]

Yes and BF1 destruction is 10/10

[chilly furnace]

i would say the same thing

[eager spire]

yeah BF1 destruction is fine. though personally BF1's other problems kind of just annoy me heavily

and as such it's just interesting to me.

[wide shore]

I fully know BF1’s biggest flaws. But I can overlook them very easily.

Cause to me, everything else makes up for the shortcomings.

[eager spire]

Like, It would be great if i could go in, undo all the slide nerfs, remove the SMG 08 from the game, and also delete the sight sway on optical and iron sights.

I think that would make for an objectively better game.

I'd also like to remove suppression but i feel like some people would complain about that.

[pine roost]

Ban suppression

Just, cease

[eager spire]

yeah suppression is an ass mechanic that wasn't justified in existing in BF1

it was barely justified in BF4.

[wide shore]

At least it wasn’t BF3 suppression

[eager spire]

BF3's suppression is a hate crime and is a main reason why the mechanic should've been retired then.

Why it took them till BFV to actually do that is beyond me.

[wide shore]

I thought the way it was handled in BFV was fine. Just some visual blur. And if you laid down fire on someone you would spot em (with the right perk)

[eager spire]

yeah but unfortunately BFV felt the need to convert spread into weapon recoil so eh

[wide shore]

Though I don’t mind it not existing at all in 2042

[eager spire]

yeah 2042 is the best case scenario here. Just scrap suppression entirely. nobody likes it, and nobody misses it.

[wide shore]

Even though it is annoying spraying a sniper and them being able to perfect headshot you under fire

[eager spire]

rip bozo.

[eager spire]

sounds like a condition called "missing your shots"

[pine roost]

If they line up their crosshair on you and click, it should hit. Even if they are under fire

[wide shore]

It’s not always. Most of the time it’s “my gun doesn’t kill them fast enough for them to press 1 button”

[pine roost]

Use a lil bit of movement then to bait out a shot

[wide shore]

You can’t countersnipe at all in this game. That’s why people just volley M5’s at snipers.

Myself included. Fuck snipers

[pine roost]

Scope glint is pretty visible

Don’t see why it’s hard to counter them

[last swift]

Just use Liz

[wide shore]

Because at a decent range your gun will simply not do enough damage to any sniper worth a damn

[pine roost]

Oh yeah with an automatic gun sure

[wide shore]

They’ll see the fire. Take the damage. And boom you’re dead.

[wide shore]

The M5 Recoilless is better at killing snipers. The TGM sucks at killing infantry (which is good)

No point in putting yourself in jeopardy controlling her rocket when you can just fire and forget

[cursive elbow]

yall got a favorite map? just curious

[last swift]

idk, you can sit behind cover, ez and safe

[wide shore]

New Orbital

[eager spire]

I've made my opinion about sniping in this game clear, but to say it again, the practice of it is weird, everyone treats it like they're cosplaying American Sniper or someshit, but it's not like they're taking out a high ranking general or something, they're just shooting some guy who will come back in a few seconds and know where they are after doing so. I don't understand why sniper rifles are even in the game. Sniping is just blatantly incompatible with the concept of respawn gamemodes unless you're being aggressive, in which case it's more of a showcase of aiming ability than anything else.

[wide shore]

Sniper rifles are just part of military games. Could you imagine the outrage if a battlefield game came out that didn’t have sniper rifles?

[pine roost]

When I’m sniping im sure to always be on the frontlines. Sitting back doing nothing all game is dull for me

But I guess to some people it’s a pure adrenaline rush lol

[wide shore]

Sitting on a rock 3000m away. Getting 6 assists and 2 kills in 45m

[cursive elbow]

what about main gun??

[last swift]

TGM limit is ~400

3000

[wide shore]

I’m loving the XM8 LMG rn.

[tame cobalt]

Battlefield 2042

[pine roost]

at least they aren't being all that useful

[eager spire]

i feel like that would be an interesting experiment. Genuinely, I feel like their existence is incompatible with respawn gamemodes, and removes a lot of the point to putting a lot of effort into sniping.

plus, i feel like not having them would reduce the amount of instances where there are teammates that are just way over there not fucking helping with anything.

[pine roost]

well this is how I like to use snipers

get up in their face

[eager spire]

that guy had no idea what was going on.

[wide shore]

I see that as yet another classic DICE “let’s try this”
“Oh the community hates it”
“Revert!”

[ebon pilot]

Is this not how you're supposed to use snipers?

[cursive elbow]

wht game mode was that

[pine roost]

most people end up sitting still the whole match in some campsite far away

[pine roost]

just breakthrough

[wide shore]

Tbh the only 2 battlefield games I actively sniped in, were BC2 and BF1

GOL & Gewehr 98. Mmmm

[eager spire]

I've sniped a bit in BF4 and BF1.

BF4, i felt like i was wasting my time and effort.

and eventually just stopped.

[wide shore]

Bolt action rifles just felt right in BF1

[tame cobalt]

something that bothers me about battlefield, is how every item needs to be balanced for both breakthrough and conquest... like, those are almost two different games... i wonder how much better each of them would be if they got 100% of the focus

[eager spire]

BF1, I like the idea, iron sight bolts can be fun, but i wish they just oneshotted at close range rather than having that weirdo sweetspot.

like it just strikes me as arbitrary and annoying and i don't like it.

i'd rather just play medic.

[high oxide]

I like to refer to the new tank as the "Hand of God"

because I be strikin mfs down with great thunder and fury

[eager spire]

like, i genuinely don't think that many people would complain if bolt actions were not present, and were just replaced with Marksman Rifles, like what 2042 has. they're not as long range, but most of them are semi auto, and the ones that aren't, like the GVT, have a 4x headshot multiplier.

i feel like it would reduce the amount of camping, by making it so people can't just hang out at the far ends of maps, trying to take potshots at things.

[ebon pilot]

It def feels like that when you're just flying in a jet and suddenly AAAHHHHH FUCK WHERE DID ALL MY HEALTH GO

[low cypress]

I HAVE BEEN FREED FROM MY SHACKLES.

[eager spire]

hi

[low cypress]

Hello

[high oxide]

It’s me, the ultimate anti armor fella

[ebon pilot]

ahoy

[low cypress]

out of all the new weapons

the new pistol is the most fun

IMO

[ebon pilot]

I haven't unlocked it yet

Waiting for Tuesday

[low cypress]

whats tuesday

[ebon pilot]

it's one of the days that I'm oncall

[low cypress]

ohh

[ebon pilot]

also new weekly missions

that I probably won't be able to do because of oncall

[pine roost]

Tuesday is my one day off work and uni so I’ll try to get some time in to play some more

Getting used to playing battlefield again and it’s fun

Although I’ve seen a fair few people using the am40 recently, is there something wacky going on with that gun that’s caused this or is it just coincidence?

[topaz field]

ITS EASY LOL

am40 prob one the easiest AR to use

[pine roost]

Will have to test it out later then

I still stick to the ak

[ripe hedge]

an absolute banger if you ask me

[pine roost]

Ak is still my beloved. From the animations to the damage, recoil consistency and overall feel it’s the one I’ve used practically all the time

[topaz field]

you crack me up😂

[eager spire]

I'm still confused about why they removed the c-clamp from the AK

seems like an odd thing to remove from the beta.

[topaz field]

wwhat is C-clamp?

[eager spire]

especially since it doesn't really change anything

[pine roost]

Blocked the sight didn’t it?

[eager spire]

hold on

[pine roost]

I recall it doing that

[topaz field]

the little C shape thingy?

[eager spire]

note how the hand on the foregrip is gripping over the top of the barrel.

that's a c-clamp

[topaz field]

ohhh

[eager spire]

also no it doesn't

the thumb moved out of the way when ADS

[pine roost]

Ah

Idk then :/

[eager spire]

yeah, which makes it being removed even weirder.

like i can only assume someone at DICE didn't like it.

[topaz field]

he's watching 😂

[eager spire]

i'm sure he is

[topaz field]

he's mad cool though 🙂

[eager spire]

i would hope so.

not like i would change how i think about things regardless tho.

[topaz field]

i dont know much about weapons so i dont have much to say

if it moves i just shoot lol

4.5hrs to go for me to clock out sleep kickng my butt😩

[pine roost]

I’d assume that maybe there was an animation glitch that sometimes caused the thumb to stay there, that could cause problems at random times

[eager spire]

you would think that would be more than an assumption if it were actually true. Like, I feel like someone would've talked about that if that was actually a thing.

Someone had to have talked about it if it got removed.

[high oxide]

Wait

How get image perms ?

[eager spire]

you have to be a regular

or boost the server.

[high oxide]

I wanna post my condor

[eager spire]

either one.

[high oxide]

How often must one post to be a regular

[eager spire]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pine roost]

Took you like 20,000 messages didn’t it?

[high oxide]

Don’t give me shruggies you menace

[eager spire]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

well now i'm gonna give you shruggies even more.

[high oxide]

That’s it, railgun tank for you

[eager spire]

something like that yeah

but i also got warned and muted so

[high oxide]

Holy shut

[pine roost]

I just popped in every few days to chat for an hour so there’s no chance I’d get regular

[high oxide]

Well this is lame

I just wanted to post my cool vehicle

Well back to committing Devine intervention with my cool new tank

[wintry parrot]

What do you all think to the two-point sector system? I'm curious

[glossy storm]

Why did I read 'popped' as 'pooped'... 😭😭😭

[pine roost]

[tame cobalt]

I have 45k messages and still not regular

But i think it's a bug and I'll never get regular

[high oxide]

oh cool so its just random : (

[idle lion]

they added all chat? since when

[tame cobalt]

i used to have regular but i left the server and it was gone when i returned, then it never came back

Even though i should have it again by now

[limber meadow]

Can you change name on origin or nah?

[idle lion]

yep

[limber meadow]

is it free?

[tame cobalt]

nah it's $70

[limber meadow]

worth

[tame cobalt]

kek

yes it's free

[limber meadow]

Nice nice

[covert sky]

is battlefield2042

worth 20$?

[limber meadow]

no

I mean isn't it free right now?

[solar obsidian]

yes

if you have game pass play it there

[pine roost]

Watch gameplay

[solar obsidian]

he is on pc, just play it and if you dont like it refund it before the 2 hour mark

[solar obsidian]

heck game pass usual have 1 euro for first month to try it out, if you REALLY unsure if to pay 20 to own it

[upbeat sand]

I heard there’s new Malay voice lines

Is there a clip

[limber meadow]

malay?

[upbeat sand]

Makay

[topaz field]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgLSbhBtfl0&t=1s

[limber meadow]

oh, mackay

[peak shadow]

so is the game dead? I cant even play, its always 3/128 at loby

[limber meadow]

crossplay on?

[peak shadow]

oh I didnt know if I can turn it on, gimme a sec

[limber meadow]

i can never find games with it off

[peak shadow]

okay done it now, damn I hope it will find now

cause its like impossible to play right now

[limber meadow]

should do, fixed my problems yesterday

[peak shadow]

thanks a lot, appecirate your answer

[limber meadow]

👍

[topaz field]

mann im loving the positive comments on reddit for s3 QOL update

[topaz field]

where do you live ?

[limber meadow]

did the ac42 fire rate get buffed?

feels so much faster

[slender isle]

Yeah it did

Got like a 30rpm increase or something like that

[limber meadow]

I thought so

[eager spire]

which is weird

because it didn't seem to need that before

[limber meadow]

yeah I thought the gun was fine as it was

[eager spire]

yeah. but then again the devs also thought it was necessary to give the pistols a 2x headshot multiplier again, as well as buff the glock on top of that, while not touching the SMG's at all even slightly.

[limber meadow]

that explains why I was dying to the glock so much

[eager spire]

yes

it got a buff

[limber meadow]

I really should start reading the patch notes

[eager spire]

i think it does like 28 damage in close range now

[limber meadow]

I just been using the rex

[eager spire]

but yeah, 28 damage Glock at close range, with 2x headshot multiplier, is 56 damage. Meaning that it is entirely possible to oneburst someone in the head with the Glock at close range.

this is a weird decision to me

[limber meadow]

Yeah I got one bursted a good few times yesterday

[eager spire]

yup, and that's why

again, i don't understand it, because this essentially means that pistols are outclassing SMG's in close quarters.

because rate of fire doesn't mean shit when you die to 2 shots in the head with a glock

[limber meadow]

smgs already need some love I feel, besides the k30

[eager spire]

They do. The HS multiplier nerf was entirely unnecessary, and I genuinely feel like it was only done because they couldn't nerf the K30 in any way that mattered.

[limber meadow]

pure laziness

[late otter]

How do you guys feel about the new railgun

[limber meadow]

Cool gimmick

[eager spire]

it is a railgun

it is heaps funny watching squads of people annoy vehicles with it

[topaz field]

yall should play ww3 then comeback to 2042 and let me know which has the most op weapons lmfao

[limber meadow]

is that game actually free now?

[topaz field]

yuppp

[limber meadow]

about time jeez

[topaz field]

the shotguns are deadly, pistols to the head is like 1-2 bullets

[limber meadow]

so 2042

[topaz field]

nah WW3 more hardcore

[limber meadow]

doesnt it have killstreaks?

[dusk laurel]

Damn, I don't think I can run this game. Was worth a try

[hot dove]

origin is gonna be dead in a matter of time. new EA app isnt perfect but it at least recognises your steam and gamepass buys

[eager spire]

WW3 is ass, though, so i don't care.

plus this isn't about OP weapons, this is about poor balancing.

[limber meadow]

It does look pretty bad I can't lie. But I will try it out

[pine roost]

aside from the ability to damage vehicles, it's mostly balanced

[limber meadow]

Looks like if someone made cod 2019 ground war a whole game

[topaz field]

each to their own man lol

[limber meadow]

but worse

[topaz field]

the movement is a bit clunkyy

[eager spire]

it is very clunky

and has also launched 3 separate times now. the game has been in the same state it is in now since like 2018.

[topaz field]

ohh this my 1st time playing it

[limber meadow]

oh so it isnt finished? they just took the early access label off?

[topaz field]

played for about a month

[pine roost]

well it launched

then got taken down

[eager spire]

nah it's still got it's early access label

[pine roost]

back in alpha, then beta, now there's this

[eager spire]

i think it's currently released as an "Open Beta"

[pine roost]

been a confusing time

[limber meadow]

Ah alright

[eager spire]

like i said the game's existed since 2018

it's not really gotten any new content since then

in fact i think the only thing that's been added to it so far was a map rework?

[topaz field]

yea open beta

[limber meadow]

exit scam type beat

[eager spire]

also, charging $12 for DLC for a Open Beta

[topaz field]

6.49 i bought it lol

[eager spire]

The game came out and cost $40 on launch. Everyone hated it and nobody felt like it was worth the money, so it flopped. The developers then ended up getting bought out by a chinese company, and the game gets delisted for a bit, being reworked into a free to play game. There were closed beta tests during this time, for everyone that had paid money for the game prior.

[limber meadow]

Yeah I know

[eager spire]

The closed beta tests were never that popular, not a lot of people were playing, and the devs were very quiet after announcing that it would come out in Open Beta. They announced it would be happening at some point during June. It didn't end up actually happening till September.

keep in mind, the closed beta stuff stated in August of 2020. First for "Veterans", AKA the people that bought the game before it got delisted, then they rereleased the game as a Closed Beta test. I think it still cost $40 at the time, which was a bit much, considering there wasn't much in the way of new content to justify the year it took them to get to that point.

It took them two whole years to launch into the Open Beta. There's nothing new. In fact i believe they had to remove a map at some point during the closed beta, and put it back in when the Open Beta launched.

the game just sucks, i hate it. It was billed as this "battlefield killer" during the time when BFV was a thing

[limber meadow]

Yeah I remember hearing that. I just watched gameplay and laughed, and forgot about the game for years

[eager spire]

I have a friend who bought the game on it's initial launch for $40.

They were not impressed.

they're still quite bitter about it to this day.

[limber meadow]

ouch

[wintry parrot]

Yikes

[wintry parrot]

Angelposting confirmed in chat

[pine roost]

you've seen the angel thread right

[wintry parrot]

I have indeed

[pine roost]

I can't even remember what started it all

I feel like it must have been a trailer of some kind

[hollow star]

hey guys, does anyone know how to fix the bug where it feels like your in slow motion, have 70 fps and 60 ping running on all low settings, have never experienced it with other games

[pine roost]

from the clips I've seen it looks like it could be a network error, but having not experienced i myself I can't be certain

[silk surge]

Overyhyping it as the Battlefield killer lmao

[topaz field]

🤣

[silk surge]

Did he mean CoD killer?

[eager spire]

no

[wintry parrot]

Angel being the best specialist

What else

[eager spire]

it was advertised as a Battlefield killer, because the initial launch was during the time when BFV was a thing and everyone was heavily not impressed with Battlefield.

[silk surge]

But yeah, my little brother is the same way. I bought him Ultimate Edition for his birthday and all he did was leave a bad review and play Hazard Zone with me for 2-3 hours.

[eager spire]

Also that same friend got 2042. He was similarly not impressed.

[arctic grove]

https://streamable.com/k5dcyw

🤤 that shot

rip no embed perms

[pine roost]

well done

[wintry parrot]

Speaking of hazard zone, you guys think they'll ever do anything with it?

[delicate hollow]

Unlikely

[hollow star]

any tips on how to improve network?? within battlefield

[eager spire]

probably not. it's just not worth it, nobody cares.

[pine roost]

could be that it's placed you in the wrong region, could be a temporary network slowdown, if it is a network thing then I don't really know what could be done to fix it

[wary sleet]

Hey, can I ask you lovely peeps how you feel about Lis' TGM? :)

[eager spire]

AAA

[delicate hollow]

Last time I played HZ was way before season 1

[hollow star]

how do you change region

[delicate hollow]

It's the most fun gadget besides the grappling hook or the wingsuit

[wintry parrot]

Went the way of firestorm

[wary sleet]

Cool! :) Do you play M+KB or Gamepad?

[delicate hollow]

Mouse and keyboard

[wintry parrot]

I don't think I've ever once played hazard zone lawl

[eager spire]

but no seriously uh, I feel like the TGM was not a great idea, purely because of it's ability to damage vehicles from behind cover. Like, there was a reason TV missiles were not given to infantry before, the closest infantry got to that was the TOW Missiles and the SRAW, and even then those didn't have the camera following the rocket/missiles.

[wary sleet]

Noted, thank you :)

[pine roost]

I won't lie, it's a concept that I'm not really fan of as a whole. being able to attack vehicles when they are behind solid cover while also seeing them through walls just isn't how I expected it to work.

Sure the low ammo count balances that out, but still if you have positioned yourself to be safe from gunfire in order to repair, lis can just negate that entirely. A guided launcher could work, being a weaker but more forgiving launcher, but it being implemented as a portable TV missile makes vehicles even more vulnerable

[eager spire]

also consider that tanks for the most part still do not have any APS

which makes this even worse

[pine roost]

the SRAW was a good mix where you could still make adjustments to your trajectory but you required to be slightly exposed in order to do so

[wary sleet]

Fair points :) thank you for sharing.. Is it the trait that makes it highly problematic for you, in combination with the TGM?
Or do you feel the TGM as a whole is the fundamental issue?

[slender isle]

It’s great really, but also is quite hard to hit vehicles flying due to the hit reg

[eager spire]

I feel like her trait doesn't exactly help matters.

but even without it, this concept just is not great

[pine roost]

I think it's the trait that makes it feel the way it does. imagine playing as an infantry, you want to heal behind a rock so you drop a medkit, but people can see you direct through that wall and just kill you with the new XM

[eager spire]

also sidenote: i am in correct in saying that plans to add APS to the rest of the tanks were mentioned around the time that the EBLC RAM came out with APS, right?

[pine roost]

my philosphy is that there should always be something you could do to avoid dying to something. If I play too aggressive I'd note that and change it. But when you are spotted through walls there's not much I can realistically think of doing to avoid that in the future

[silk surge]

Is it just me or is the Season Mastery badge grind a bit too harsh? I play very often, and I get those badges to T1 at the final weeks of the Season. If someone starts a bit later and misses some bonus missions, those badges are basically unattainable.

[wary sleet]

I don't work on the vehicle team sadly, I don't want to potentially say something incorrect on their behalf, so I can't answer this sorry :(

[wary sleet]

Thanks for your views on the TGM/Trait!

[eager spire]

ah, damn. Like, I swear that was the case.

[pine roost]

Ben Walke went to twitter and said to 'watch this space regarding aps coming to mainline tanks' so I assumed that was on the table

[topaz field]

never looked at it that way

[eager spire]

was that recently, though?

[topaz field]

you rather UCAV or TGM????

[eager spire]

Neither.

[pine roost]

was after the first gameplay of season 3 was released

[topaz field]

nah you gotta pick one

[eager spire]

yeah, I swear it was mentioned before Season 3.

[topaz field]

motors,ucav or tgm?

[eager spire]

Like, a short time after the EBLC RAM came out and people mentioned that it was weird that it had APS while the tanks still didn't.

[silk surge]

XM is a bit tricky to use tbh. Getting that proper range pinpointed is really hard at some angles, at least from my experience. If you're on a plain field and someone is behind cover, pinpointing right behind their cover can be extremely tricky.

[topaz field]

i rather the tgm

[eager spire]

i am not picking any of these things.

[topaz field]

i find it so hard to use on PS4 i gave up lol

[pine roost]

I disagree in all honesty, it's been an utter cheese machine for me lately

[wintry parrot]

I found it a little too situational to be super useful personally

[serene pawn]

XP boosts need to be like on BF4 where you can activate only when you want and it works for the entire squad

[pine roost]

heck even in an open field it's effective because of it's beefy radius and lack of drop off

[eager spire]

that was BF1

[wary sleet]

Hypothetically, what if the trait for Lis provided the spot overlay temporarily for her team if Lis hit the vehicle.
So you would not see vehicles through walls ahead of time?

Not saying this will happen, I'm just merely gauging the room on thoughts ^^

[eager spire]

not BF4.

[serene pawn]

I played BF4 for years, it is like that on BF4 as well

[wintry parrot]

That'd be neat

[silk surge]

Don't get me wrong, I literally got a 8k with that thing yesterday. But the fact that it's pretty complicated to use and learn makes it pretty balanced in of itself.

[eager spire]

that would be fine, i guess, though i feel like that could be abused with the railgun existing.

[eager spire]

no it isn't, i've played BF4 as well.

[silk surge]

And the fact that it's hard to use in certain angles makes it a lot more situational.

[topaz field]

lmfaoo man yall complaining about the smallest things. Previous battlefields were rough dude

[serene pawn]

https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/NGJj9c3G3GgPsvNK3HVM6i-1200-80.jpg

[next onyx]

The xm370? Yeah it's not a do all kind of thing. Zains passive keeps him afloat.

[wintry parrot]

I think it should be limited to her rockets personally, as API said, it could be abused with the rail gun

[eager spire]

It doesn't apply for your entire squad.

[pine roost]

hmm. I'd be much happier with a ping over a track, then there's some requirement for reading their movements, as well as their position on the map. It could get hit, hen the tank could move away, lis would probably be able to find it again by flying over to that space but if the tank didn't pre plan an escape route before setting up there it gets bombarded due to the team wide scan. I'd honestly much prefer that

the railgun though is definitely a bit thing to consider now, that thing is nasty

[lavish warren]

Anyone else having issues with the game just randomly shutting down now and then?

[topaz field]

nope

[silk surge]

I f*** love Zain's passive.

[topaz field]

its okay pretty balanced imo

[silk surge]

Makes him such a good specialist to use aggressively.

[wintry parrot]

Zain is a great assault specialist yea

[topaz field]

Irish is better imo

[pine roost]

then that can be countered by defining that escape route, but failing to do so adds some risk and flushes out camping tanks from their position

[silk surge]

Irish is more of a defensive specialist though

[wary sleet]

Thanks for your views on the TGM :) it's appreciated, have to dip to some meetings but will pop in later <3
Ty for playing all of you, stay awesome

[topaz field]

true zain just heals faster, irish body armor and shieldwall

[pine roost]

thanks for popping in, we appreciate you being here too :)

[next onyx]

It just helps. Whenever I'm injured I go into the mentality that if I kill someone ill be in a good spot. But that sometimes doesn't come and you need to be careful engaging with another enemy.

See ya vanta!

[pine roost]

oh yeah the passive is super cool

[topaz field]

😘

[next onyx]

I wouldn't mind a small adjustment damage wise to his xm370.

But overall it's not bad.

[topaz field]

nerf it?

[visual gazelle]

Sounds just like the Tank Buster Combat Role from Battlefield V, and I liked that.

[pine roost]

doesn't feel as much like a flushing tool like a grenade as opposed to just a kill machine

[next onyx]

Personally I end up seeing as a kill machine due to the damage it does.

40 damage is a lot.

30 would be a decent spot.

[eager spire]

40 damage is a lot, especially considering it goes around cover.

[next onyx]

The reason why it's numbered like this is so it breaks armour which I'm not against lol.

[pine roost]

slower firerate, smaller range and a slight bit of drop off would still be a way to properly flush people out without feeling unfair, from my experience dealing with it so far

[next onyx]

Yeah I see that.

It's really easy to play zain. But that's because he's an assault and it lends that way.

[wintry parrot]

I need to figure out how to use his XM370

[topaz field]

so irish aps does not stop xm right?

[wary sleet]

It does :)

[topaz field]

ohhh thats good to know!

[pine roost]

you just need to think of it as pressing v will set the projectile to explode maybe a metre away from where you ranged, you can even look up at the sky and it'll explode at that distance

[topaz field]

well i do know Irish APS does not stop recoiless anymore. I forgot to submit that clip to ea forums

[next onyx]

I swear some times it does and some times it doesn't. But maybe I'm just working off a pre assumption cause everytime I see an Irish behind cover I assume his APS is up.

So I don't use gadgets.

[topaz field]

i was playing spearhead the other day and a recoiless killed me w/ the APS been up

[pine roost]

might try out irish sometime soon. Of course i've not played a whole lot but seeing how sundance gets used especially in the new interior spaces, it could be useful

[next onyx]

Irish is good.

[wary sleet]

Upload it to YT and DM me the clip

[next onyx]

He is so good.

[pine roost]

someone set one up in a bf4 locker match and it saved us a lot

[next onyx]

During exposure I finally understand how good he was as I pushed with him in the tunnels.

[topaz field]

okay i'll do that when i get off work

[next onyx]

Without those shields or the aps my team wouldn't have pushed

We wouldn't have won.

[topaz field]

he;s aweswome

[pine roost]

I wonder though, if a grenade is on the floor is it possible to set it up quickly enough to destroy it?

[next onyx]

He is literally amazing.

Yeah!

It's like a defuser.

[pine roost]

right then, I'll try him out later today

[next onyx]

By the way. It does not block throwing knives.

I had someone learn that the hard way

[pine roost]

it doesn't have a limit to how many it can destroy before a recharge does it?

[next onyx]

No.

[pine roost]

oo

[next onyx]

It doesn't have a recharge and maybe some adjustment to that would go a long way I reckon.

[wary sleet]

We're aware :)

[next onyx]

Yeah and that's cool!

[pine roost]

just imagine if it could stop bullets lol

just standing there, completely unphased by everything

[next onyx]

INVINCIBLE.

There was this rat during FnB where this guy as Irish would fortify the very end of the hallway and it was extremely difficult to actually do something.

[pine roost]

reminds me of one time during an Arma 3 antistasi playthrough where one of my friends was just completely invincible. Went around and knifed everyone while we just hid behind cover :/

[next onyx]

For some reason that reminds me at the of 2042 with that invincibility glitch.

[pine roost]

same thing but in squad. One update one of the heavy anti tank classes was completely unkillable for a solid week

they can be funny glitches sometimes

[next onyx]

I found this small random clip of 2042s launch, a guy got shot in the head, his body was glitching all over the place and his teammate was trying to revive him.

[wintry parrot]

Commitment

[next onyx]

Shame the medic got shot in the head too.

[wintry parrot]

I respect that, thats a commited medic

[next onyx]

Writing that down it sounds like a war crime.

[pine roost]

spam crouch while reviving

[wintry parrot]

Are ragdoll glitches protected under the 2042 geneva convention

[pine roost]

never fails

although sometimes teammates think I'm teabagging which isn't the intention

[next onyx]

I'll crouch spam in the open.

Other wise I'll try to be a normal person during other situations.

[pine roost]

i'll just jump slide jump everywhere in open spaces

safest way really

[visual gazelle]

Neat, even Botan Shishiro is streaming 2042.

[limber meadow]

who

[pine roost]

is that a good thing?

[visual gazelle]

If big FPS vtubers are streaming 2042 on YouTube, I'd say that's a really good thing.

[limber meadow]

vtuber

[eager spire]

god it seems like that would be something that would be mentioned in a dev corner but i can't find any summaries of the 2.1 update dev corner. asked someone else, they said Florian might've said something about it, but i can't find any mention of it on his twitter.

[pine roost]

they nerfed crouch spamming didn't they fairly recently

[next onyx]

Maybe?

[eager spire]

nothing on the EA forums, obviously, why would the devs ever talk on there.

[next onyx]

They just need to adjust adad spam.

Adad spam is just cancer.

[limber meadow]

my dad doesnt have cancer

[pine roost]

well I've been training reactive tracking over the last few months, I want more ad spam to test my skills

[next onyx]

I've been meaning to get around to it.

To test it.

To practice against it.

[pine roost]

tracking is without a doubt my favourite aiming style

[eager spire]

how dare you have to train to deal with something, the game should conform to my abilities! >:(

[pine roost]

ono

[limber meadow]

aiming is just aiming

get gud

[pine roost]

if only it were that simple

[limber meadow]

idk man, I just aim and get kills :}

[pine roost]

i've basically been dedicating the last year to it, since fps games failed me I literally clocked in over 350+ hours of aim training

[next onyx]

One if the big things that for some reason I caught from freethy was that if a person takes cover against a double sided cover, just predict where they'll come out instead of aiming right at the cover if that makes sense.

[lucid goblet]

[next onyx]

Hey carpo!

[lucid goblet]

Hello good sir

[next onyx]

Jesus chriet bullet.

@lucid goblet Tank.

[lucid goblet]

Nice!!

love that tank

[next onyx]

The maul rounds are what do the damage that's needed.

[pine roost]

when I have a goal in mind, I focus hard on that for as long as I can

[next onyx]

Those were the hammer. I got damn hit a jet with them and didn't kill.

[lucid goblet]

had some issues with dusting though past few days

[next onyx]

Yeah that's fair. I've been learning pc for the past year bit by bit.

[pine roost]

honestly I think I might have researched a bit too much. ah well

[wintry parrot]

I should make 2042 the battlefield I actually learn how to fly aircraft

[next onyx]

That osprey was bullied holy shit.

[pine roost]

i set that goal for myself back in bf1

but 2042 has the most forgiving helicopter physics so you might as well

aside from you know, /\

[next onyx]

Ever since the boys from PS came over to xbox on bf5 I always been trying to improve my aim so I'm as good as them, if not. Then highly competitive.

[lucid goblet]

Rush on that map is really bad for attackers lol, you can get perfect shot on all the air spawning in

[next onyx]

Yeah it is.

[wintry parrot]

I really wanna learn the condor/super hind

[next onyx]

Though that's rush L? Or XL? You need that osprey to push other wise you get ruined.

[pine roost]

all there really is to it is map and gunner awareness, flying them is dead easy

[wintry parrot]

I was a great falcon pilot in halo reach, my aspirations are now to be a great condor pilot

[pine roost]

wish I was on my home pc so I could post a heli related clip

[next onyx]

Flying the helicopters is relatively simple but keeping everyone is alive and doing your job long enough is something else.

[wintry parrot]

gunner awareness

[next onyx]

I don't fly much in transports. But I always made sure to do constant runs in and out to get a steady stream of teammates out with an offensive presence.

[topaz field]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSpq437LdI8 @wary sleet dont think i can DM you on here sorry. Three different examples 🙂

[wintry parrot]

Thinking about all those times I got gunner and was denied a killstreak because the pilot swung the whole condor to the side and took away my perfect angle

[pine roost]

just wish they'd fix the rolling over thing >:(
Which I know IS actually a thing and I'm NOT going insane
Because someone proved that it's a thing

[lucid goblet]

it was 128p rush

[next onyx]

Yikes.

[pearl ridge]

Well Hourglass fucking sucks

[next onyx]

Yeah it's a dogshit map.

It's why they're reworking them all.

[lucid goblet]

look what arrived today https://twitter.com/Carpo_vp/status/1597195279157297152?s=20&t=EW30raZNtEctG1vdlsxqKA

[pearl ridge]

No matter where you go, it’s just more goddamn snipers

[grizzled whale]

Gos damnit way

[next onyx]

Hour glass we'll get a rework at season 4.

[next onyx]

That is a 980, yes?

[pearl ridge]

They literally combined the worst aspects of Shanghai and Sinai

[next onyx]

Oh wait.

Sn 750?

[pine roost]

given how far they've gone with breakaway it could be fairly substantial

[lucid goblet]

aye 750

[next onyx]

Still good!

[lucid goblet]

aye definitely, especially for free 😄

[next onyx]

Yeah though while we'll need to wait. Breakaway looks to be doing well.

[lucid goblet]

Breakaway rework looks epic

[next onyx]

Would be cool if we got 2042 themed CPUs or gpus.

[pearl ridge]

I had someone taking potshots at me from literally a kilometre away

Some of them even hit.

[next onyx]

Or maybe the CPU cooler.

[wintry parrot]

That was my issue in the BF4 days

[next onyx]

Cause you won't see the cpu.

[grave prism]

good morning

[lucid goblet]

yeah a 2042 gpu would be nice

[wintry parrot]

I'd just roll the chopper and smash into a building by accident

[next onyx]

Hey drao!

[slender isle]

A 2042 Xbox and PC pre built would be great

[lucid goblet]

[low timber]

You want a gpu from future?

[next onyx]

Dude I've smashed into objects TWICE because my elevator got hit.

[lucid goblet]

who doesn't 😄

[next onyx]

I actually find it kind of funny.

[pine roost]

It wasn’t an issue in 4

[next onyx]

But during breakaway some shit hit my stealth chopper with the ntw and that hit my elevator so I crashed into the crane.

[wintry parrot]

Maybe I'm just a shit pilot in that case

[pine roost]

It was an amazing ‘feature’ added in season 1 of 2042

That has yet to be fixed :(

[wintry parrot]

All the more leason to learn

[next onyx]

And recently I had a tank hit my hind and because I don't think when I fly I smashed right into the C U B E.

[low timber]

🧊

[wintry parrot]

I could never fly jets though

[next onyx]

I didn't even have that thing payed off yet!

I learned to fly planes during bf5.

You get the knack for it.

[wintry parrot]

Helicopters and the condor I could manage, but jets, hell no

[next onyx]

2042 jets are bad anyways so don't stress.

[wintry parrot]

I tried to learn in BF5 but I came into that game late, so I just ended up getting dogged by god tier pilots who went 60-0 the whole game

[wintry parrot]

I keep seeing jets just like, hung in the air firing, its really weird

[pearl ridge]

Jets still haven’t been relevant to any of my games yet.

[pine roost]

that was one major issue with V i'd wholeheartedly agree with, existing pilots simply having better weaponry

that was dumb

flying should have a large skill gap, but still be approachable. v had some skill gap but wasn't approachable in the slightest due to that

[wintry parrot]

I just need to learn vehicle play in general

[pine roost]

skills you learn from infantry do carry over pretty nicely

[wintry parrot]

I'm an infantry shill to the core, but It'd be hella fun to actually be able to use a condor or super hind

[pine roost]

but you'll just have to adapt them to consider the slow turret speed, slow movement speed and of course the way tanks turn

[wintry parrot]

Iont even care about kills, I want nothing more than to larp as a pilot while dropping people off at objectives

[pine roost]

good ol' transport pilot

did that back in the beta. hovered by the flag by the rocket and let people hop in, ferried them to the tower to avoid the painful trek across open ground

[wintry parrot]

I usually try to focus on support/medic play in other BF games, I like being helpful to make up for mediocre skill at killing

[pine roost]

the nicest pilots are those who see someone running by themselves and pick them up

[next onyx]

I would do that on bf4.

I would find random lone infantry and pick them up in my little bird.

[wintry parrot]

I'm just weirdly good at 2042 over other games, so I main assault instead of the funny medic or support specialists

[pine roost]

that's good. I do enjoy running in guns blazing but helping others is a lot of fun
