[mental delta]

The only solution of you ask me 👀

[strange crag]

Overwatch and Rainbow Six Siege as well

[mental delta]

At this point they should really just delete it and make another sand map

[pallid echo]

Hey folks, Question about AT missiles.

What is the guided missile that makes the screaming sound?

[somber widget]

Hourglass and Breakaway and maybe Renewal all need more buildings or actual POI’s.

They feel somewhat empty and pointless tbh

[mental delta]

I agree for Renewal, map feels better but it could get a little more buildings

[modest hearth]

hi guys

[mental delta]

Hourglass should just cease to exist though

[somber widget]

I know Hourglass is made to be wide open but like come tf on

Throw some more villages down or something

[crimson basin]

siege reworked all their fun casual maps in an effort to make them more "competitive". At the end the maps lost their soul and all maps feel the same now.

[somber widget]

Yea but that’s the thing, maps shouldnt need a Rework at all!

Design good maps to start off and continue moving forward.

Having to go back and rework maps is just a fucking waste of time.

[limpid pond]

I've now started maining Casper

His passive is so good

[radiant prism]

So would you rather be stuck with a bad map pool, or rather them take time to make sure the map pool is quality over quantity by, yknow, listening to the community? The thing everyone says they haven’t been doing?

It’s damn near impossible to know if a map is good or bad until the community gets their hands on it. “They should have done it to the start” more often than not just ignore the reality of a given situation.

[eager spire]

They should've had better players playtesting it before the game came out, and actually took feedback from them.

[radiant prism]

Oh boy not this again

[spiral folio]

Or if you test with players that are too good yoh can throw things off also

[eager spire]

but of course, DICE has a terrible reputation with actually listening to feedback from pre-release playtesting, look at the CTE.

[radiant prism]

Didn't we already have this argument Lycan?

[spiral folio]

Good players use maps differently

[radiant prism]

I don't have time for this today

[eager spire]

probably, but I still have my same feelings about it.

[somber widget]

Map Reworks ≠ Good Design Philosophy

Means they know they fucked up. Not “listening to the community”

[spiral folio]

Ie
Novice sniper
"Wheres... the tallest thing... i can get on top of"

[somber widget]

Kinda hard to ignore when we spam the shit out of them on social media to fix their game.

[spiral folio]

Good snipern "where can i get people from"

[radiant prism]

And how'd they know they "fucked up"? Did a little birdy tell them on the wind?

[somber widget]

It’s called social media you dumbass

[radiant prism]

They listened, whether you want your angry little narrative to ignore it or not.

[somber widget]

As i said, we spam them online.

Kinda hard to ignore.

[spiral folio]

Oh nah social medias a cesspool you can't get sny meaningful feedback thst way

[fiery shoal]

listening to the ramblings of a bunch of meme kids and idiots probably isnt a good idea tbf...

[somber widget]

But yet they made reworks based off of what social media had to say haha.

[fiery shoal]

and even then dice did listen and implemented a lot of changes in response to the backlash too..

[spiral folio]

Yea like your fb feed can be nonstop
"Your food suxxx close down"
Business is better than ever

[arctic grove]

A year later the specialists will be in classes.

[radiant prism]

Homie is quite literally angry that they listened to the community

I'm done dude

[fiery shoal]

scoreboard changed to reflect what players wanted, vc added even though literally no one uses it

[spiral folio]

Imo they should not tie specialists to classes. Theres good uses for some specialists in other classes

[fiery shoal]

weapon balances, traditional classes, etc

[somber widget]

@radiant prism You’re over here defending map reworks when it shouldn’t have to take place AT ALL

[radiant prism]

Specialists now going into classes like previous games just like previous games too...another big community thing

[fiery shoal]

dice listens, even when it shouldnt

[spiral folio]

"NOPE THEYRE ENGINEER NOW" o..k but

[somber widget]

GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME TF

[fiery shoal]

imagine being mad a company is making maps better...

[radiant prism]

Why do I need to defend something that's inherently a good thing for the game? I think its better than just leaving us stuck with shitty maps?

[spiral folio]

Except for exposure

[somber widget]

Renewal sure does look better

[fiery shoal]

this isnt a binary situation wither, its not ONLY good or bad

[somber widget]

10 extra containers to hide behind and some barricades

better

[spiral folio]

Renewal and orbital better

[somber widget]

fucking delusional

[fiery shoal]

orbital was a solid map before, and will now be better, why are you angry they are making maps better?

[spiral folio]

Exposure was fine and they ruined it

[arctic grove]

Dice listens after the blowback but better late than never

[spiral folio]

Isnt cold map being reworked

Oil place

[fiery shoal]

are you judging maps only based on looks or how they play?

because basing them on looks is... a weird choice but ok

[radiant prism]

Yeah breakaway is getting a huge rework

Which I agree was much needed

[spiral folio]

I dont mind oil map til you know... thet sector

[fiery shoal]

breakaway sucks on conquest

glad for update

[spiral folio]

Conquest doesnt matter

[wide shore]

If I can be real, I don’t know why this community likes exposure but doesn’t like the other massive open maps in the game.

[fiery shoal]

conquest is the staple game mode for bf

[spiral folio]

Also
Switch the names between exposure and breakaway

[radiant prism]

It may be obvious to us now that the maps needed reworks with the hindsight we have now, but that was VERY likely not the case back before launch.

[arctic grove]

IKEA map is solid tbh. Better than exposure in my opinion

[spiral folio]

Breakaway should be... where things broke away

Exposure as in like.. cold exposure

Come on

[wide shore]

So is stranded. Exposure kinda sucks

[arctic grove]

DICE logic

[spiral folio]

Hourglass needs more hourglasses

[arctic grove]

I agree

[spiral folio]

New exposures breakthrough sucks

[fiery shoal]

i love stranded and exposure for 128 conquest

[spiral folio]

Like why id the clifftop even there now

[radiant prism]

I like the first two sectors on Exposure tbh

[arctic grove]

Exposure is good on 128 but sucks on 64

[eager spire]

i mean some people did obviously predict that the maps in 2042 would not be great due to 128 players. Some people clearly know what they're talking about, but those people are not the people working at DICE, apparently.

[spiral folio]

Just for people to wander around like "where tf is the battle?"

[fiery shoal]

those people are dumb

press M

[arctic grove]

Running simulator as people called it

[fiery shoal]

go to objectives

[spiral folio]

Why would you even fight over the rubble pile

Anything in the rubble is worthless

[fiery shoal]

as an infantry only player i dont even have problems getting into fights even on maps like hourglass

[radiant prism]

So, people out of a pool of millions of people, much larger than DICE itself, speculated on a 50/50 guess and happened to be right. Cool, groundbreaking stuff as usual from you

[spiral folio]

Groundbreak another better name for exposure

[undone bone]

You need to chill a bit.

[spiral folio]

I know they want it to be like "the research place was exposed" lame

[arctic grove]

He said the f word

[fiery shoal]

he called gecc a dumbass earlier

[spiral folio]

Also
Frigin Cobra style research labs built in cliffs

[fiery shoal]

when people blindly defend something without knowing what took place

[radiant prism]

Point is he was being inflammatory for little reason

Doesn't matter what he called me or anyone else

[eager spire]

it's not like there weren't reasons to believe that was going to be the case. if you thought about it, it was likely going to be a problem.

[fiery shoal]

sure, but lets not spin this narrative that people working at dice were just too dumb to not know a map wasnt going to be a hit with players

[spiral folio]

Ok brainstorm what bf2042 behemoths should be like what bf1 had

[radiant prism]

Ok, and there were reasons to believe it wouldn't be the case. You are pretty much just outlining the normal course of speculation.

[spiral folio]

No wrong answers guys

[radiant prism]

The kind like BFV, where they don't exist because they're gimmicky and stupid

[fiery shoal]

i mean... how hyped were people after the trailers? are all the people that thought 2042 was going to be good now dumb because they guessed wrong?

[spiral folio]

This is the only wrong answer

[fiery shoal]

fuck behemoths

[mental delta]

BF2042 should have naval combat but it's not gonna happen

[spiral folio]

So literally add the same exact behemoths with the textures updated

[eager spire]

I personally can't understand why anyone would've found 2042's maps as they released acceptable. The way the maps that have come out recently and the reworks have gone with more variation in the landscapes and actual lanes are just far better than the flat lands that the base maps had.

[spiral folio]

-add more geometric angles to the char 2c-
Done!

[eager spire]

Behemoths are dumb and stupid. Frankly, them and elite classes should've been exclusive to Operations in BF1.

Instead of being pushed into all the gamemodes.

[spiral folio]

Basically because you can portal summon a vehicle at will

Ea devs like "why are you walking!?... aaah come on whys you all leave with unloaded vehicles... guys youre ruining it"

[spiral folio]

Elite classes for bf2042

[eager spire]

No.

[fiery shoal]

i still want 2042 to add call in dirt bikes/atv that have a shit load of reserves

[mental delta]

They should add light air transport vehicles like updated Venum helis with 5 seats

[radiant prism]

AS THEY RELEASED

Way to move the goalposts. Anyways, rest of the message now.

Yes, the reworks are better, and yes the flat land was problematic. But our preconception of what the game was gave us very little idea of what we were dealing with. DICE was trying something new, and probably (and now as we see incorrectly) assumed more space was going to be needed to compensate for the increased playercount. And as we (and now they) found out, they were wrong, and are now moving to rectify that.

[fiery shoal]

in the off chance i do find myself in a weird place i dont want to optimal option to be redeploy

[arctic grove]

Tactical moped

[fiery shoal]

hell yea

[spiral folio]

Sentry will be literally just a fallout power armor

Vehicle hunter will have an upgraded railgun

Trench raider will have a beam saber

[radiant prism]

killdozer when

[spiral folio]

What else...

Flame thrower guy uh... hm

Nanomachines fuck it

[eager spire]

Way to move the goalposts
I'm sorry, were we not talking about DICE having to remake the maps as they originally released due to poor reception? I don't see how I was moving the goalposts at all, especially since you made the claim that there were reasons to believe that people would like the flat land maps with 128 players on it for some reason. All I said was that I personally don't understand why that would've been the case.

[spiral folio]

A bigger railgun specifically for vehicle hunting would be cool

Or hot

[mossy badge]

Dirt bike 🔥🔥🔥

[spiral folio]

Like fire and it has to flash cool each time

[fiery shoal]

if they add a dirt bike they better add a way to do a backflip

[spiral folio]

Make the thing 6ft long

[dense hound]

did anyone do some glint tests on Rorsch Mk-4 ?

[spiral folio]

Have it load literally precisely the same as the tankgewehr

[eager spire]

I don't think so? I've not seen any glint on it in the videos i've seen of it.

Of course the 8x sniper scope might have glint but it might have the same glint as any sniper rifle scope.

because it is a sniper rifle scope.

[dense hound]

highest magnification on railgun is x6

and it does have glint

[eager spire]

I swear you could put an 8x scope on there

[shell ermine]

Playtesting over the development of the game should've revealed that.

[dense hound]

but I'm not sure on other scopes

[dense hound]

let me check

[eager spire]

Is this not an 8x scope?

[fiery shoal]

maybe.. just maybe.. devs and playtesters play different from a bunch of zerg casuals

[radiant prism]

Once again, we didn't know that before launch. Even as late as the open beta, we had no way of knowing the maps were very open until the game actually released. I was in my previous message, and for quite some time beforehand, referring to the pre-launch period, which is why I say you're moving the goalposts when we are now suddenly referring to the period in time outside the scope of what I'd been talking about where it was blatantly obvious what the state of the maps was.

[spiral folio]

Yea 6x is the max because reasons

[shell ermine]

Which is a massive problem in this kind of game development

[spiral folio]

Arbitrary balance when you make a gun too accurate

[fiery shoal]

eh, idk if i like the idea of developing with idiots in mind but i really dont care, its a casual sandbox shooter in the end

[somber widget]

Imagine developing a game that you have no idea on how it should flow/operate in the middle of a match.

[spiral folio]

8 different low magnification red dots
1 6x scope

[somber widget]

crazy

[fiery shoal]

what a low tier take

[dense hound]

x6

[radiant prism]

Add it to the list of things Silver would know if they actually played the game

[eager spire]

I mean if we're talking about the Open Beta, Orbital was quite open, and a lot of people started talking about that as the open beta happened. That being said, I am sorry, I must've gotten confused at some point during the discussion because I was including the time after launch in the discussion.

[eager spire]

fair enough.

[spiral folio]

You could probably mount a 30x scope on the railgun and still be on the scope at 2000m before drop leaves the reticule

[eager spire]

not really actually

there is some drop, though it takes a while to actually be noticeable.

[fiery shoal]

are you actually playing 2042 since season 3?

[spiral folio]

Depending if they multiplied the drop. But calculated drop "should" be like 2m at 1000m

If drop is accelerated then more

Some bf games use 2-3x Multipliers

Reg velocity nwt shots are at 4 mils at 200m

[late otter]

Do you get anything from buying the year one pass now or do you not get anything from season one and two

[spiral folio]

Off the scope by 300

[eager spire]

No you do not get anything from that.

[spiral folio]

Thats how they FOMO you into buying it early

[pastel loom]

literally nothing? then this bundle should be removed

[eager spire]

Yeah, I know.

But i feel like it's left there to scam people who don't know that

[spiral folio]

Seems like selling game tickets during the last pitch

Surely youd be able to refund it

If you were that dumb

[fiery shoal]

there are skins in the y1 pass isnt there?

and where exactly is it still being sold?

[spiral folio]

Dun dunnn

The plot thinnens

R&M "oo that was a real quick one"

[fiery shoal]

and wouldnt getting the y1 pass get you the specialists instantly too?

[pallid echo]

Hey folks, Question about AT missiles.

What is the guided missile that makes the howling sound?

[spiral folio]

Eh cosmetic stuff doesnt appeal a ton to me so itd kinda like...why

[eager spire]

i think you're talking about Lis' missile.

[spiral folio]

Results "all missles"

He probably means that one

[pallid echo]

It makes the distinct howl with the red booster effect?

[spiral folio]

Lisbeth! -takes a drink-

[somber widget]

Yes

That’s her controllable missile

[eager spire]

ye

[spiral folio]

People just call it the "lis" or lis missile etc cause the name is some jumble of bs

[pallid echo]

👍

I thought they were coming from a tiny turret on top of a power pole

I was so confused

[spiral folio]

That woukd be very confusing

[somber widget]

Nah, and btw those aren’t heat seeking or laser guided.

It’s player controlled

Which is more impressive.

[pallid echo]

Tv missile yea

Well, they were missing a lot

[somber widget]

that’s a good thing haha

[spiral folio]

If you use them it can be a good idea to yeet em off another direction so its not obvious where its coming from

You "can" directly launch them but youre exposed the whole time

[pallid echo]

I fire up and do top dmg. Is that still a bonus modifier?

[somber widget]

Yea i don’t use her often but when i do, i tend to look the opposite direction of my target

And do a 180

[spiral folio]

I had the game bork up yesterday cause i launched too close and it couldn't handle it

Yea 90 or 180 around off target and come in high works well sometime

[somber widget]

I don’t mind getting killed by a Lis since it’s player controlled

Atleast it’s not some lock on bs

[spiral folio]

Generally players wont be looking straight up. So their FOV covers maaybe 30deg up from em

[somber widget]

That’s why being Mckay is so potent lol

Nobody looks up

[spiral folio]

The lis rockets are nice to keep snipers and helos paranoid

[wide shore]

Also nice for taking out those pesky stealth helis

[somber widget]

Yea bro some games i get spammed with recoiless and Lis rockets to where i just say fuck it and go infantry instead

[spiral folio]

Even if you dont hit they see that rocket scream by and cant hold still too long

The more they have to dodge and hide the less damage they do

[limpid pond]

I wonder if they'll ever buff caspers drone where your drone can just sit in the air and mark people

[somber widget]

What i didn’t know is an AA Wildcat can actually lock on and target those drones

I shot one down yesterday with an AA missile

[spiral folio]

You can also shoot them down with a "literally anything" :v

[somber widget]

Clearly, but i’m talking about Anti Aircraft Missiles

[pallid echo]

C5 drone still OP?

[wide shore]

Isn’t that what it already does?

[limpid pond]

Not that I know of. Been using him alot and been getting none when I leave it up

[pine roost]

You have to actively click to mark them

[limpid pond]

Yeah that's what I thought

I wish it just auto marked

[wide shore]

I know that’s the case when you’re driving it. But I thought if you left it idling it would mark in a small radius around it.

[limpid pond]

Casper is deadly in my hands. I'm kinda preferring hum over paik strictly because you don't pop up on the minimal when scanning with casper

[limpid pond]

Nah I wish though that would be great

[wide shore]

No reason to leave it idling then

[limpid pond]

Exactly

I just drive it back to me then pick it up and go on a killing spree

[somber widget]

Nice

[limpid pond]

Very effective for people that are hunting you down. Throw it up real quick mark them then exit and kill them

Worked everytime so far

[somber widget]

Those sensor nades or whatever are also useful for that.

[wide shore]

I just use the motion sensor ball for that

[somber widget]

Same.

[wide shore]

Out of everything, I think that stupid pokeball is my highest mastery.

[limpid pond]

Yeah I prefer smokes though. It's easier to block off lines of sight from campers and motivates your team to push

[somber widget]

That’s why i run the SFAR

You can have smokes and any nade

EZ clap

[spiral folio]

Yea i just keep smoke grenades to ninja away

[wide shore]

I just run a Pokeball and an ammo box.

Infinite spots

[limpid pond]

Yeah I jjst don't use meta weapons so that's why I don't run it

[somber widget]

lmaooo

[limpid pond]

I also run a medpen cause I get aggressive when I'm on a spree

[fiery shoal]

its fun running smokes and sfar with more smokes, just smoke everything

[somber widget]

Considering my ign is Smokez i agree

[limpid pond]

Sfarsmokes smoke launcher and then smokes

[drowsy shuttle]

throwing knifes is a bit inconsistent... but still, really fun... made me drop the smoke grenades.

[limpid pond]

Smoke smoke smoke

[wide shore]

I remember back in Black Ops 1 I didn’t use the Famas out of principle. But now I just don’t care if I’m abusing meta. I used the hell out of the BSV when it came out. No shame.

[limpid pond]

I did the same until I t1ed it

Then back to smokes I went

[drowsy shuttle]

you already T1 the knifes? da fuq...

[wide shore]

I’ve also abused the SFAR and Avancys.

[somber widget]

BSV near launch was nastyyy

Still is but yeah

[wide shore]

It was unreal at the start of S1

[limpid pond]

Go on conquest and just flank you can easily smack everyone

[drowsy shuttle]

BSV is still the best overall weapon in the game. easily

[somber widget]

Nah bro i would say that’s the SFAR

[pine roost]

Ak

[somber widget]

but it depends on play style

[edgy oriole]

you can leave it up and it marks. it just has to be lower since it cant zoom in like the player does.

[somber widget]

I switch the SFAR to single fire and hit just as good as a BSV would tbh

[drowsy shuttle]

with BSV you can play any style.. long, mid or close... thats why i said best overall... sfar is best AR

[limpid pond]

Got it. Imma try that then

[edgy oriole]

m5 is best assault

[limpid pond]

No

[somber widget]

A 20 round high caliber mag is not enough for killing sprees in CQC

you’ll be dead quickly

[limpid pond]

Qbz

Best assault

[wide shore]

Idk how the BSV made it through testing in its original state

[limpid pond]

There was none lmao

[somber widget]

Best weapon is what you have fun using

[wide shore]

Sure didn’t feel like it.

[limpid pond]

I only use blins

Boins

[somber widget]

Same

I use the sharp edge on it

[fiery shoal]

20 round is not a problem when its 3btk up to 100m or something like that

[wide shore]

I was plinking people across the map with 0 hesitation. I miss it

[limpid pond]

[spiral folio]

Crossbowing bots is fun

[somber widget]

[spiral folio]

The delay on the exploders is odd though

[somber widget]

Yea it feels like the COD BO1 crossbow that explodes lol

To me atleast

[fiery shoal]

kills per mag > mag count

[wide shore]

Remember the gas arrows in BF4? Lol

[drowsy shuttle]

either way my main gun nowadays is the ghostmaker... can drop easily 30-40 kills per game... very underrated... with sundance to fly behind enemy lines is kill kill kill... and even fighting head to head is pretty solid if you have good aim..

[wide shore]

I have bad aim. So I can’t use the crossbow. Or the throwing knives.

[spiral folio]

The exploder bolts kill in one hit but its cause the delay

And then boom

[fiery shoal]

i have good aim, but cant use slow rof weapons because i choke

[drowsy shuttle]

i use it just for the fun... its great shooting someone with it and then wait for the boom

[wide shore]

Oh I love slow ROF guns.

[spiral folio]

Yea crossbow needs allies around you to hide behind

[pine roost]

Is the ak considered slow?

[wide shore]

Eh

I’d consider the high power BSV full auto slow

[pine roost]

I’d say it’s around the middle

[drowsy shuttle]

it depends... with the normal arrows you can be pretty quick.. i've won fights against 3 enemies with it...

[fiery shoal]

i cant do it, put me on a ntw or a character like widowmaker and i wont land shit

[drowsy shuttle]

shoot and hide

to reload

[wide shore]

Oh, I mean I can’t snipe.

Not at all

I mean like, in BF1 I adored the Chauchat. Slow firing, high damage. That’s my shit

[pine roost]

Sniping has definitely been my most played playstyle so far

[fiery shoal]

in bf title i sometimes can, just depends how comfortable i feel

[drowsy shuttle]

btw, what happened to hourglass? i haven't seen that map for weeks...

[wide shore]

I did use semi rifles a lot in BF4/BF1/BFV. But I just don’t like the selection in this game.

The DM7 feels underpowered. And SVK is too slow

[spiral folio]

Well... like 90% of the rifles in the game can be semi-auto

[drowsy shuttle]

i was using the DM7 earlier and i agree.. very weak..

accurate, but weak

i rather use the ghostmaker

[wide shore]

Somebody recommended using it with close quarters rounds and using it at mid-range. But it just felt like a bad VCAR

[spiral folio]

Most weapons in the game let you select-fire

Even for some reason the MGs

[wide shore]

I love when I accidentally set my gun to semi and forget I did at the start of the next gunfight.

[pine roost]

I can’t recall the last time I ever used it

[wide shore]

I use it a lot on some guns

The AC42 is one

[spiral folio]

Yea

Ac42 is like the best sniper rifle outside sniper rifles

[drowsy shuttle]

100%

[wide shore]

AC42 is still really good in single fire. The better way to use it at long range.

[pine roost]

Wish I had some time to aim train today, just had no chance to cause of uni ;(

[drowsy shuttle]

i still think the ac42 is pretty solid and underrated

[spiral folio]

Burst at 200m is 3 shots nearish the target

3 single shots you can hit all 3

[wide shore]

It’s definitely getting its flowers lately since the time between bursts got reduced.

But the king of burst rifles is on the horizon.

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah i've seen more people using it instead of the sfar

[wide shore]

AN94, where are yooooouuuu

[low timber]

Hiding from you.

[wide shore]

I just want the world to see how much of a beast it is

[low timber]

Isn’t the NVK-P125 burst a hyper burst?

[wide shore]

Is that the pistol?

[spiral folio]

Is that the pistol or the other thing

[low timber]

Yes

[spiral folio]

With a nearly identical name

[wide shore]

I think it does

[arctic grove]

[wide shore]

I haven’t unlocked it yet

[low timber]

P like pistol

[spiral folio]

Real creative geniuses naming these

[low timber]

NVK stands for NordViK

[wide shore]

I will after doing the new dailies. So we’ll see

[spiral folio]

And p125 for

[low timber]

Pistol125 I guess

[spiral folio]

Took em 125 tries huh

[low timber]

And the shotgun is NVK-S22

[wide shore]

Making a capable gun is hard

[spiral folio]

Yea they accidentally forgot to make the mags 20rds too

Like the ruger and FN 57s

Or maybe they did i dont have it yet

I realized that the ammo number on the preview is a "rating"

But like the ruger 57 and FN 57 are both 20rd mags cause 5 7x28 is like really small diameter brass

Longer though

[low timber]

In the collection menu the S22’s ammo counter displays 42, but the max ammo in it is 10.

[spiral folio]

Yea thst slipped my mind when i saw the p50s "ammo rating"

[pine roost]

so apparently we are getting damage and healing counters back

saw temporyal mention it, has there been any kind of gameplay snippet or trailer released recently?

[spiral folio]

Guess since you can see hp bars now

[pine roost]

you've always been able to see healthbars, this is different

[spiral folio]

Well its easier now i think

[pine roost]

maybe they had a small gameplay showcase in a tweet that was hidden away

[low timber]

Did Dice say that the next update or season 3’s event will release before the holidays?

[willow sky]

if there was a specialist tier list, where would you place paik in?

[atomic egret]

Elaborate..

[fiery shoal]

a tier list ranks subjects in groups usually depending on meta/effectiveness

where would paik place on that ranking

[pine roost]

decided to try out the crossbow, I actualy really like it

[lean plover]

so has anyone else having severe issues after season 3 with crashes?

like it stopped loading up for me and now its every 10min or so of playing, completely random

6hours of searching the internet and trouble shooting and nothing on my end can be fixed

EA help is no help

[pine roost]

my goodness this thing is beautiful

just hit the nastiest flick ever

[spiral folio]

The mini-bolts are kinda lame but the default and exploders are fun

[fiery dawn]

Paik is like C-tier now at best

She was my first T1 specialist but she’s just not really that useful anymore imo

Also she doesn’t belong in the recon class

[crude wave]

nerfed the crap outa her

[dark mural]

Does the Ultimate Edition come with Boins?

[placid echo]

Paik and smoke was how I got my throwing knives T1

[placid echo]

Technically yes. But mostly no

[fiery dawn]

She’s a hyper-aggressive wallhacking pushing breaching etc character. She plays a lot more like an assault class. Just because her gadget gives “info” or “intel” doesn’t mean she plays like a recon class at all

[crude wave]

buff paik

[fiery dawn]

You already T1’d the throwing knife bro?

[placid echo]

Two days after I got them

[fiery dawn]

what the fuck lmao

[placid echo]

That FNB mode helped

[fiery dawn]

You and Way…

[placid echo]

TDM 64 players on a small map helps T1 anything

[dark mural]

I won the Xbox version of the Ultimate Edition here on Discord. Redeemed it, no boins. I get them cool skins though.

[somber widget]

Angel T1

[fiery dawn]

So it’s 1200 kills like with the guns right

[placid echo]

You get the premium battle pass with it

800 with the throwing knives

[fiery dawn]

oh

ok that’s a bit more understandable

2 days is still impressive as hell though

[placid echo]

Yeah its not a gun so it's a different value

[fiery dawn]

👍

[placid echo]

The knives are fun af tho

[fiery dawn]

oh hell yeah they are

they fly too straight for too far a distance if you ask me

it’s nuts

[pine roost]

yoo

[fiery dawn]

I posted a clip on here of me nailing a guy really far away and they have very little drop

[placid echo]

[fiery dawn]

damn nicee

to both of you

#battlefield-2042 message

Here was the one I posted^

[limpid pond]

You don't use the bcg grip?

[fiery dawn]

No. Someone got a hold of all the data a while back and it was shown that the LWG grip actually gives an overall higher increase in accuracy across the board as long as you aren’t a prone LMG player or corner camper and it’s especially better you like to stay on the move

[severe oyster]

Tier 1 throwing knives was so fun

[limpid pond]

Intresting. As a pbx main I never knew that

What's the stats on the MGL laser?

I feel like the laser is better so I use it all the time

[tacit sphinx]

i just like the laser bc heehoo dot on your face

[limpid pond]

My loadout is
8R holo
Close combat
MGL Laser
Arcom muzzle break

Also I use the fusion holo sometimes

[fiery dawn]

No idea. On CQB weapons yeah laser is probably more useful but I still find myself mostly ADSing and wanting to beam people over slightly longer ranges often so I’d prefer the overall increased accuracy while moving as opposed to increased hipfire accuracy although I think that new laser does more than just hipfire accuracy doesn’t it?

[tacit sphinx]

yeah it has improved recoil control

[limpid pond]

The MGL laser offers recoil control and hipfire accuracy while moving

[fiery dawn]

Yeah… which I’d say is pretty unnecessary on a weapon like the PBX

Across the board accuracy while moving is better for me

[limpid pond]

That's true but I run it for the hipfure accuracy while moving

[pine roost]

I can never decide which to go for. So I just do accuracy for recoil

[limpid pond]

Allows you to slide jump without getting the ads movement nerf

Plus it's just as accurate as adsing

[fiery dawn]

PBX already feels very accurate from the hip to me I’ve never felt like I needed a boost

[limpid pond]

BTW I'm not hating so please don't take it like that. I was jjst curious about your choice

I'm gonna end up trying it out

[fiery dawn]

Oh I know

[limpid pond]

Intresting I'm gonna try the LWG then

[fiery dawn]

Sounds good man I’ll probably give that MGL laser a test run to see for myself

If you like to hipfire a lot with your SMGs you probably won’t notice as much of a difference with the LWG as you would on an AR

[limpid pond]

With the LWG grip how is it when you stop for a brief second and crouch shoot?

[fiery dawn]

But for me, there was a slight noticeable difference on my ARs when I switched from BCG to LWG

[limpid pond]

Also what muzzle to do you run?

[fiery dawn]

I’m not sure, I don’t usually do that much so I wouldn’t be able to say

[limpid pond]

Hmm I'll try it out and report back on it

[fiery dawn]

On the PBX? Ahhh one sec I forgot

[limpid pond]

Yeah pbx

[fiery dawn]

I’m booting up my PC rn

[limpid pond]

You're good take your time I'm in a game about to test out the grip

[limpid pond]

Ayoooo you def found the meta. Bro I'm beaming

Mf I just went on a 15 ks

[fiery dawn]

With the LWG?? Hell yeah bro

[limpid pond]

It's more steady than the bcg and mgl

Feels nice

[fiery dawn]

Right on

I use the Arcom muzzle brake btw

[limpid pond]

Okay same one as me

[fiery dawn]

I don’t feel like it has much recoil but reducing side to side is better cause then I just pull straight down on my mouse lmao

[limpid pond]

It works well for just pulling down

[fiery dawn]

👌

Aight I gotta go pack for my trip to communist canada see you guys later

[shell ermine]

Lmao, I have my reservations about the way 2042 handles cosmetics, but at least we don't have to deal with this.

[kindred flint]

oh lawd exodus is back

[fiery shoal]

the comment about la being the next roze is concerning

shit was annoying in warzone

[thick wharf]

Where is orbital?

[shell ermine]

South America

[thick wharf]

no, after the update its not there

[pine roost]

liz missiles are the most annoying things

i'm completely by myself, in solid cover, yet one just comes down from the sky

[kindred flint]

i cant even get fucking 3 revives in multiple minutes this first match

[steel snow]

Is anyone else getting kicked out of games on PC? Keeps happening to me and idk why.

[copper spindle]

Ayoooo boys, whats going on here?

[somber pelican]

does someone else have lot of lags now ?

sorry for my english i'm french

[copper spindle]

Its all good, its not bad tbh

[copper spindle]

For PC or Console?

[somber pelican]

pc

[copper fulcrum]

Power Rangers

[somber pelican]

yesterday it was okay but today i can't play a game because of the lag

[arctic grove]

Them colors tho

I honestly like how Battlefields customization hasn’t been too goofy. I mean we still haven’t even seen an anime bundle yet

Not that I’d be against anime bundles or whatever cause that stuff is pretty much inevitable

[arctic grove]

Heh communist Canada

[robust vapor]

Power Rangers

[copper fulcrum]

Hey that's my message

Florida teams always seem to choose the worst colors imaginable

[pine roost]

i've decided that liz's rocket is the stupidest gadget in existence

[arctic grove]

Liz is unimaginably irritating if you play armor

[pine roost]

after playing in a vehicle for 30 minutes I hate it with every fibre of my being

I'm behind solid cover, yes, so you should be safe from enemy gunfire, yes, there is nobody around to damage you right now, correct, so how come you still get shot at by someone with a guided launcher

[kindred flint]

welcome to a ground players perspective

[arctic grove]

I haven’t even barely touched any armored vehicles besides the wildcat

It’ll just piss you off otherwise

[edgy oriole]

i usually run the jeep with grenades.

[arctic grove]

Angel or Mackay skin???

[pine roost]

it's just the first time i've really played the game properly

[arctic grove]

The Jeep should be fine I’ve just noticed it’s very easy to 1 shot the driver out now so I just try to use it to get to an objective

[copper fulcrum]

no

[arctic grove]

Wait until 2042 copies cod with this

[edgy oriole]

ayo seattle kinda fire

[arctic grove]

I almost wouldn’t mind

They should add all the colors

In all seriousness I don’t know sports but the Los Angeles one is dope

[limpid pond]

Well I can bow say I've seen someone die to a spawning car

Not one that was called in but a literal spawning car

It just appeared on the dude and he died lmao

[next gulch]

I died from a hovercraft I called in because the area I picked just didn't work for some reason, landed right ontop of me

[limpid pond]

Yeah but it wasn't called in lol. It was just a normal car spawn

[next gulch]

lol

[limpid pond]

It spawned right on the dude. It just appeared and killed him

[next gulch]

those cars are so useless anyways, literally biggest free kill in the game

the AI still loves them, though. Easy quad kills all day

[thorny lance]

How is this game still such a buggy mess, and why hasn't EA fixed their damn desktop app?

[kindred flint]

too busy adding tiny bits of metal with unlimited kill range

[thorny lance]

It's insane how far Dice has fallen

[kindred flint]

meet the new dev team...theyre noting like the old one?

[low cypress]

kinda seems like a skill issue tbh

EA app works fine for me so does the game

[hexed mango]

skill issue

[crude wave]

buff the ntw

[hexed mango]

FINALLY

A LEGENDARY BSV SKIN

rest of that bundle is ass tho

[kindred flint]

cringe leaf shit

[hexed mango]

yeah not my fav legendary, but idk its a bsv skin

literally has no skins

[kindred flint]

its perfect the way it is

[hexed mango]

oh and shit rush + tdm is now official, instead of just rush

[arctic grove]

I'm becoming super good with this LCMG

[kindred flint]

its a very balanced weapon...really fun with the close rounds with that high rof

[topaz field]

i like the default moree

[arctic grove]

So basically dividing up the player base even more???

[topaz field]

i'm testing to see if Mackay can still throw C5 further than other specialist

[limpid pond]

Quad feeding with the throwing knife is so satisfying

[arctic grove]

hell yes! I got like 5 kills straight just now.

I'm trying to level up quick to get access to soflam and when I do I will be the lead soflam soldier in my team

yay lvl 29!

[tacit sphinx]

why would he

that’s never been a thing?

[hexed mango]

yeah that isnt his perk

[limpid pond]

The only way to throw c4 far is to look slightly up and jump while throwing it

[stiff pollen]

i got sent a hatemail for using throwing knives...

i didnt realize i killed the same guy 5 times using it

i was just using em for the damn weekly 😭

[hexed mango]

hey look we guessed this would happen

[candid goblet]

duh

took me 1 match to finsih both

[hexed mango]

well we guessed it would happen once classes were out but it happened now

cause we havent really had class specific missions before

[candid goblet]

also got the enemies spotted as recon done

we have classes now

[hexed mango]

you know what i mean

[topaz field]

🤣 \

[kindred flint]

i should have started off playing as assault it would have been much easier for me

[dreamy marlin]

Yeah, a lot of people like the one who can glide and the guy who moves faster while aiming

[hexed mango]

sundance and mackay

[dreamy marlin]

I’ve been trying out the guy who starts healing on kills and has the air burst to kill people hiding behind cover and in buildings

[hexed mango]

zain

[kindred flint]

i mean kills and assists are just so braindead easy i dont know why i thought getting 3 revives at the start of a match would be easier

especially when i like a lone wolf playstyle

[hexed mango]

lol

[dreamy marlin]

I tend to go on my own also, just running ammo crate and proximity grenade

[kindred flint]

beaned a dude from 120m up with a 40mm nade though that was funny

[dreamy marlin]

Half the time I try to let a medic revive me they just run in for it, even when there’s clearly an enemy on me

[kindred flint]

he thought he could hide behind a container after i shot him up....eat 40mm

[hexed mango]

heheheha

[hexed mango]

L squadmate

[dreamy marlin]

Had a weird tdm match where it was 3v5 and nobody else joined the entire duration, then it dropped to 2v4

[kindred flint]

skill issue on my squadmates tbh

if they looked at the scoreboard im the leader

[dreamy marlin]

Other than the map not being a favorite it was a fun long game, I’d always hear the enemy running and just sneak up on them

[arctic grove]

How do i get more kills with jets or is it just a skill issue

[dreamy marlin]

Idk I don’t really care for vehicles, especially flying ones

[arctic grove]

I barely find other jets in my game and the helis destroy me if I'm not in the f35

[dreamy marlin]

It seems jets mainly serve as heli killers and not much else I think

[arctic grove]

Use the AGMs and the 30mm. You only need cannons for other air vehicles so do not use the radars or AAMs

[arctic grove]

I need vehicle kills to get them

That's why I'm asking

Rn I'm on all the basic stuff

[dreamy marlin]

Completely forgot you have to unlock vehicles

[arctic grove]

Yes, use the 30mm and AGMs and double as anti air and ground vehicle support

[arctic grove]

Only the season added ones like the tor and Comanche

[dreamy marlin]

I re downloaded to see what weapons they added just to find out that half of them are bf3 weapons that have all the attachments from the start so I don’t even use them

[slender isle]

They murder ground vehicles with agm

[arctic grove]

Jets can do anti ground it’s just AGMs have the longest cooldown time and reduced damage so you’ll want to use the 30mm as well to finish strafes

[dreamy marlin]

I like unlocking the attachments

[pine roost]

I just wish there was less drift and a tighter spread on the 30s

[arctic grove]

Same

[pine roost]

By the time you’ve cancelled out your sideways momentum and started spraying you’ll need to pull up or die

[dreamy marlin]

The joy of getting a slightly bigger mag for the am40 after losing so many multi kills to low mag size

[arctic grove]

AM40 is a headshot machine

[kindred flint]

infantry only map when?

[dreamy marlin]

If you aim for the head instead of whatever isn’t friendly

[dreamy marlin]

TDM

Although some maps feel like sniper only sadly

[hexed mango]

stranded bt

[arctic grove]

I generally aim center mass or around there since that’s what immediately available. The recoil will definitely get you headshots

[dreamy marlin]

Yep

That’s how I got most of mine

[arctic grove]

I can't bc i dont have them

[dreamy marlin]

Aiming for the head means hitting 2 shots and then having to readjust to hit again and getting a body shot

[arctic grove]

Ohh, try unlocking them against bots. It’ll take a moment if you are pretty low level on the jets

In the Co op version?

[dreamy marlin]

Honestly never used G57 until I needed it to unlock one of the weapons

[arctic grove]

That works?

[dreamy marlin]

Then I found out it had burst fire

[violet widget]

Breakthrough is great for unlocking weapon parts.

[arctic grove]

Yes

Damn i didn't know that thank you

[pine roost]

Training aim in bot lobbies was literally all I did while waiting for the game to get to a good state

[arctic grove]

You can unlock all weapon and vehicle attachments in solo co op games

[arctic grove]

Np

[violet widget]

I like doing Stranded for weapons.

That's what I have used at least as a Gamepass newbie.

[dreamy marlin]

Or you can unlock them mid match and watch your kills go down as you try to figure the gun out

[pine roost]

Like me today using the ghost maker

[violet widget]

I also did some of the helicopter portal games, since I decided to min/max the exp system while feeding my kiddo. Lol.

[pine roost]

I didn’t mind fewer kills while learning it. Still went positive anyway

[dreamy marlin]

Like when I unlocked the p90 pistol and found out it has an effective full spray range of 1 centimeter

[pine roost]

Yeah it’s spread is pretty nuts

[violet widget]

I keep trying to harass my friends with Gamepass to get the game so I can have squad mates.

[dreamy marlin]

Insane it has 51 shots but I think I’ll stick with the G57, it’s been pretty nuts

[arctic grove]

[dreamy marlin]

I’ve only gotten 1 takedown since downloading again so I don’t have the ghost, every time I try to melee an enemy in the back it just does a regular stab, even to enemies laying down and I see the prompt

[hexed mango]

skill issue

[dreamy marlin]

[devout flare]

Melee in this game isn't as accurate as past bfs.

[kindred flint]

because they made the takedown window fucking buggy

if you want/need to get melee kills done...use dozers shield

[devout flare]

And takedown are easily interrupted by people shooting

[pine roost]

It’s so strange that it’s just a box

[dreamy marlin]

Love getting into a knife fight and halfway through getting put into the takedown by the guy in front of me

[pine roost]

Feels like you are pressing a button in a lift

[hexed mango]

ez money

[dreamy marlin]

If the knife did 40 instead of 30 or whatever it does I think it’d be nicer

[devout flare]

I hate that they went to a 3rd person kill cam again too... bfv melee takedown were soooo good and immersive

[hexed mango]

it does 50

[dreamy marlin]

I’ve been knifed and taken 30ish everytime I check

[hexed mango]

epic

[devout flare]

And just worked good

[dreamy marlin]

And hit people twice without killing

[devout flare]

I don't have that issue. 2 knifes pretty much works

[candid goblet]

my dude cleared 6 of 9 in 1 match

lol

[dreamy marlin]

Guess I got a dull knife

[devout flare]

Granted I rarely go for melees

[hexed mango]

fr these missions are ez af

[ebon pilot]

imma go for all 9 in one match

[devout flare]

More optimal to just shoot

[dreamy marlin]

Not when you run out of ammo within kissing distance

[candid goblet]

hardest part is winning the match lol

[hexed mango]

this screen needs to be changed to horizontal

[candid goblet]

yes

[ebon pilot]

yeeessss

[kindred flint]

what are you....a mw2 fanboi?

love your horizontal menus?

[devout flare]

Sidearm baby

[ebon pilot]

or just bring it up further like they did in the dev update

[dreamy marlin]

BF4 did horizontal

[devout flare]

G57 burst is insane

[candid goblet]

i mean im not playing this game on a phone like CoD

so ...

[dreamy marlin]

My sidearm is the backup for my knife

[candid goblet]

can we get rid of sundance btw

like so over that bitch

[ebon pilot]

no

[dreamy marlin]

But me glide

[candid goblet]

glide, scatter bomb, glide scatterbomb

annoying ass

[dreamy marlin]

And deal 3 damage to armor

Scatter bomb honestly only works if people are camping

[topaz field]

Irish might be one of the best specialist in 2042?? I put down aps sentinel to block explosion shots then I'm repairing the tank as well 😭

[candid goblet]

like c1 on orbital

[dark mural]

Holy moly, 2042 sure has gone up in player count on Steam. That is good news. 👍

[devout flare]

Grenade spam is really annoying I agree

[dreamy marlin]

The immediate impact does really low damage and the actual big boom takes like 3 seconds

[ebon pilot]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/850376380822323230/1046574589871915046/index.gif

[topaz field]

Don't bring a knife to a gunfight you might lose

[dreamy marlin]

I’ve only gotten kills when people are laying down or camping

With nades

[candid goblet]

thats what happens when they give the game away for free

[dark mural]

It's free on Steam?

[candid goblet]

no but it was pretty damn cheap for black friday

not sure when the free play time starts

[devout flare]

Toss names on the dudes camping that spot overlooking point inside boat on stranded... I'll just blindly toss and bounce off roof. Free kills pretty often

[topaz field]

Was $10 a few days ago

[dark mural]

It's been at $10 at Best Buy for all consoles for a month lol

[candid goblet]

8.99 at gamestop

11.99 pre owned

i know i dont understand it either

i just work there

[dark mural]

Lmao, I work at Best Buy

We got the inside details lol

[dreamy marlin]

$3 added affection charge

[candid goblet]

lol

fucked up thing is some people will pay more for the used copies

i dont get it

i can dead ass be like"the new copy is $4 cheaper" and they be like "nah ill take the preowned one"

like ok man, rich ass elon musk looking mother fucker

[pine roost]

Why would someone ever choose to do that

The cheaper option is the better quality one

[candid goblet]

im saying

i dont get it either

but it happens all the damn time

preowned consoles too

preowned switch was 260, new switch with mario kart was 250

people still bought the pre-owned with no game

[pine roost]

But…

I

Ok then

[candid goblet]

yup my reaction too

its like leading sheep to water and watching them drown

[pine roost]

‘Hm yes this mouldy banana is more expensive, a new one is cheaper. Let’s get the expensive one!’

[candid goblet]

in 2022 no less

like $4 is a whole gallon of gas

who is that rich

[tacit sphinx]

would you rather have unlimited bacon and no games or unlimited games and no games

[hexed mango]

do proxy grenade spot assists count as throwable assists?

[tacit sphinx]

i have heard no

[hexed mango]

damn that sucks

emp or smoke?

[shell ermine]

I get it on principle, you want to play a game but don't want to directly financially support the publisher/developer

$4 is pocket change for most adults.

[hexed mango]

does sundance scatter count as a throwable

[candid goblet]

did you miss the part where i work at gamestop...

i make what is esstentially min wage for 2022

[hexed mango]

i make what is exactly min wage

[candid goblet]

Gs PAYS 11.HR

[hexed mango]

where do you live

[candid goblet]

seasonal paid only 8.75

and corporate gave us shit for not being able to hire enough seasonal help

in an area where the median aprtment is 1600/month

lol

im in PA

[shell ermine]

I did say most adults. Not all.

[candid goblet]

Gamestop is basically killing itself because they refuse to pay their employees a wage that allows them to live

I work at target as well and they pay much better 15/hr

[hexed mango]

11 is not min wage according to a search tho

[solar minnow]

target sucks though

[candid goblet]

i like target more than Gs

but both are just temporary until i finish ym degree in a few weeks

[thorny lance]

Gamestop will not survive as long as they continue viewing themselves as just a retail store
Stores cannot compete with online sales. They need to offer an experience rather than just shopping.

[candid goblet]

think i have like 8 weeks left of school before graduating

[shell ermine]

You are still in school? I did say adults.

[solar minnow]

I was a tech associate for 2 years there and they expected me to do more work than what was required.

[candid goblet]

we do online sales, site to store, uber, doordash, and pick up in store

they just dont care about their employyees and they dont pay enough to be competitive in hiring in 2022

so they cant keep staff that actually gives a damn

[thorny lance]

And all of that can be done from a warehouse.

[shell ermine]

Never do more than the bare minimum.

[candid goblet]

thats the best part

[solar minnow]

then they don't give you hours

[toxic wigeon]

Wonder if the rush tab will change into other tab

It should

Pls keep team desthmatch

[shell ermine]

All industries are desperate for labor right now (and likely will be for a long time)

[toxic wigeon]

So helpful for weapon mastery

[shell ermine]

You've got the leverage now

[candid goblet]

i was supposed to be promotoed to assistant store lead and bumped to 14/hr and corporate decided they wanted to do away with ASL at most stores but still expected me to do all the work of a ASL without the pay

[thorny lance]

I currently work for a way more niche hobby than Gamestop, and we survive because we offer more than people can get at Walmart or Amazon, all while paying $20+/hr

[candid goblet]

rc cars?

[solar minnow]

dang only 14 when I was there they were paying me 16.50 but I had to fight for it.

[hexed mango]

retail is better than resturant

i fucking hate my job

[thorny lance]

lol last time I worked at gamestop they paid like $9

[candid goblet]

well thats alot of the issue neiher our SL or DM will fight for us

all they ever say is "corporate wont pay more"

[shell ermine]

I'm glad I skipped right over retail/service jobs

[candid goblet]

they blatnatly refuse to even try to get us a raise

[thorny lance]

Because they won't. Gamestop is in it's death throes

[solar minnow]

No they won't. thats why those store have high turn over rates

[candid goblet]

everyone at our local gamestop is quitting on December 2nd

[shell ermine]

Didn't work in high school or college, started in white collar right out of school

[candid goblet]

because the SL is leaving and no one wants to work for anyone else

its not worth it

[solar minnow]

I heard the rail roads might shut down this december

[shell ermine]

Congress is working a forced deal through

[solar minnow]

Good luck with that

[candid goblet]

our store is a high volume store we cleared over 2mil last year and on track to do same this year were the 2nd best store in our disctrict

[shell ermine]

If they get the 7 sick day amendment through it'll be fine

[candid goblet]

but they say we arent worth it

fuck em

[shell ermine]

If not, well get ready to rumble

I work with supply chains and logistics, a rail strike any longer than like 3 days would actually start killing people.

[candid goblet]

basically the plan right now is to do the Midnight Suns and Calisto Protocol launch and then leave the keys and go

[solar minnow]

Wow that's actually pretty good. They should of given out bonuses.

[solar minnow]

yeah, gonna be pretty sad.

if one of those unions backs away the hole thing will fall apart and so far 4 are not happy and they are running out of time

[shell ermine]

https://twitter.com/heatherscope/status/1597739985876439040

[chilly jacinth]

cringe

[solar minnow]

The old house speaker has already threaten their jobs. She a nasty piece of work.

[limpid pond]

Yo can we all take a moment to actually admit hazard zone was a good mode

[pine roost]

Haven’t played it

[limpid pond]

Like the fact that you collect 3 disk drives then just have to survive till extraction is fun

Really gives you a reason to wanna play and stay alive

[white geyser]

I unlock the railgun tank by spending my coins

[shell ermine]

That's the only thing I use my earned boins for, tier skips

[tepid agate]

Anyone got the missions for this week?

[tepid agate]

Is this sarcasm

[arctic grove]

Woooooo

we went ham on Breakthrough match

lvl30!

[white geyser]

Nope

[tepid agate]

Why don't weekly missions get posted in #game-news 😔

[dark mural]

Damn. I want the Against the Grain bundle. Makes the specialist look like they are from BC2.

[scenic tartan]

cheating is starting to become a bigger problem now during the free time

some dude was standing on a hill auto aiming 150 kills in breakthrough

[tepid agate]

Always getting headshots? I sometimes experience that

[scenic tartan]

yep am40 just headshot headshot headshot in the kill feed

whole server probably reported him at least

[tepid agate]

Wonder if anything will happen to him

[arctic grove]

AR headshot buff moment

[white geyser]

When I'm using the AK rifle, I better use the PP90 I haven't use it for a while

[limpid pond]

No what's wrong with hazard zone?

[remote kiln]

I think he means mostly that it wasn't finished and buggy as hell

but both can be correct

[limpid pond]

This happened to me literally the day of free 2 play. I posted screesnhots and videos of it here and everyone agreed. Dude was a level 12 on pc went 119 and 9 and was massacurung people with only headshots in the kill feed

[limpid pond]

By chance was his name IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[remote kiln]

reports aren't looked at in here only if you file it ingame

[arctic grove]

oh yea i remember

[tepid agate]

I think dice cutting it off not long after launch is all the answers you need 😄

[arctic grove]

that dude was kicking ass with the sws pure headshots

[limpid pond]

I know. I already did it in game

[remote kiln]

though with that said DICE have one of the strictest policies that games have when it comes to banning hackers

[limpid pond]

Yeah lmao only headshots with the sws and then headshots with the ak24

[arctic grove]

they need to quit making br/extraction gamemodes paid if theyre gonna include them in their games

[arctic grove]

that was funny man

i tried to join your game to see him but i couldnt

[limpid pond]

Ehh alot of people liked it. The reason it got cut was because the game was in shambles hit reg was terrible it got really bad publicity and overall the game just wasn't finished

[tepid agate]

I thought firestorm was ok

[arctic grove]

HZ and firestorm probably both arent 'bad' its just not a good idea to make that stuff paid

[limpid pond]

It was wild. Luckily dude was on my team. Only reason I caught it was because he went from 34 kills to 70 in a minute

[tepid agate]

I don't think they would cut it off if "a lot of people liked it"

[arctic grove]

im suprised the enemy team stayed in the game

[limpid pond]

Of course they would. Chocotaco halifax and a few other big guys loved it but the game was terrible so problems with the actual game prevented you from enjoying it

[arctic grove]

we sucked hard this breakthrough

[tepid agate]

No. Since would not cut 1/3 of their game out if a lot of people enjoyed it

Doesn't make sense

[limpid pond]

It's pretty hard to argue with someone who doesn't pay attention

[tepid agate]

Me personally, I didn't enjoy it because there was no incentive to continue after playing it once or twice

Your reward was either a player card, or currency to do the same thing over again

[arctic grove]

mw2 does a nice thing where you unlock an entire gun and skin in dmz

[limpid pond]

We need caspers drone to be buffed again

[arctic grove]

which i think is kinda like hz?

casper drone needs a set amount of EMP charges it pisses me off someone can just stalk your tank and emp spam it with no drawbacks

[limpid pond]

Been playing the hell out of casper lately dude is actually great. His drone basically is like a constant uav

[tepid agate]

I'm in love with DMZ and comparing that extraction game

They have varieties or different contract missions, all weapons you use count to weapon xp and towards the battlepass.

HZ was just too stale

[arctic grove]

if battlefield continues to copy cod i just ask for a few things

[tepid agate]

Isn't the main guy a cod guy now or something?

[arctic grove]

make it so i can walk around inside the transports
that is very kewl

gib milsim skin options
very immursihv

[limpid pond]

100% we don't see a bf like this one anytime soon again

[tepid agate]

Walking around in transport is cool. I only just discovered that when I played MW2

[arctic grove]

i found out in the beta and i started trying to gun people down with the icarus vietnam style

[arctic grove]

yea i dont think so either

[tepid agate]

Have you been interrogated yet? Lol such a cool feature

[arctic grove]

noo i dont own the game yet, i think thats a wz2 feature right?

[tepid agate]

Yeah DMZ is also free to play

[limpid pond]

I think it'd be cool if they realsed this game again but like 2142 style and at the point it is now

[arctic grove]

i'd probably be playing it since i cant afford the game rn its just i kinda want to experience the guns and all that when i get the game i guess, plus i have the biggest fear of losing everything so ive never liked br's, i wanna get the game then just stick to invasion/ground war

[arctic grove]

i never played the original 2142 but it sounds interesting

[limpid pond]

Bf 2042 x titanfall 2

[arctic grove]

ive never played titanfall 2 either but recently ive seen the buzz around here for its movement

[tepid agate]

If you down an enemy, you can choose to shoot them or interrogate them. If you interrogate them you'll put a knife to their throat and they will reveal their sqaud on the map for you lol

Or, if you have a 2 man sqaud, the downed enemy can request to join yours instead of you killing them off. Like a traitor but benefits your team lol

[limpid pond]

Titanfall 2 one of the best games ever made. It's downfall was the fact that it was released at the exact same time as the new cod and bf dropped

Crushed the game basically

If they would have released during the summer it would be a top played game to this day and we'd have tf3 already

[tepid agate]

@limpid pond can you share the weekly missions for this week

[arctic grove]

yeah i think if battlefield took some of those features and incentives hz would be more successful

cause that switches the gameplay and risk up a bit and like i said theres exclusive guns and skins to the gamemode too which makes it more appealing

[tepid agate]

Definitely. It adds a lot more variety and fun.

[arctic grove]

they dont plan on making a 3rd one?

[limpid pond]

Yeah one sec

[tepid agate]

Thanks

[limpid pond]

They do but not most likely until 2026

[tepid agate]

They also have juggernauts and helos patrolling certain areas of the map so if you select missions for that region you need to be on your A game

That's another good variety, they have tons of missions for different rewards like more xp, double xp and weapon skins. Adds a lot more incentive to keep playing it

[arctic grove]

I know hz added ai controlled tank bosses but that’s about it

[kindred flint]

lmao lets fucking gooooo killed the same punkass in a stealth 3x with lis

[tepid agate]

Oh, I didn't see AI tank bosses when I played it

[arctic grove]

It’s a newer update I think within the past few months

[tepid agate]

Ah. I played it a few times around launch but that's it

DMZ is just a more casual version of sqaud warzone though. Because there's a lot more AI than real players.

[arctic grove]

Yeah I think I’d like wz2/dmz more if there was a bots only ability that stuff in a pvp environment I’m not a fan of it myself personally

I think mw19 had a solo with bots only version of wz1 is there one for wz2 as well?

[tepid agate]

Spotting missions hell yes lol cheers

[kindred flint]

2 rounds to finish the week..not bad, but im also only at 33.5 rank now, so how many more days will it take me to unlock the shotgun

[tepid agate]

Not sure I've only just came back to cod since mw3 days lol so all this is new for me

[limpid pond]

Rn I'm level 52

Call it cheese but the moment I get a double xp token right into a heli xp farm server I got

[tepid agate]

In mw2?

[limpid pond]

Nope bf 2042

[tepid agate]

I thought you were in the S levels for 2042

[limpid pond]

I meant on the battlepass

I'm level 52 on the battlepass

[arctic grove]

Dang 52? I only just unlocked the new tank

[tepid agate]

Oh lol I guess I'm around 20

[limpid pond]

When you get a double xp token go into a heli farm server. You can get 130k xp per game

[tepid agate]

After this week's missions maybe I can go to 30?

[scenic tartan]

Same name in my game

[limpid pond]

Yeah same guy then. He's the main cheater rn

Not many others but he runs na servers cheating with headshot aumbot

I wonder if he disnt make them and are testing them out

[tepid agate]

What's your actual S level in 2042?

[limpid pond]

S093

I was at s085 when the new season started

[gritty crown]

I'm upset that one mode in portal is gone

Sucks that TDM isn't permanent, too

[tepid agate]

Nice. I'm only S80 lol but because too much heavy DMZ 😆 I think I've played that 3 weeks and already L124 lol

[limpid pond]

Not bad still though

[tepid agate]

Well S80 isn't really impressive when I've had it since launch lol

[remote kiln]

a mode was removed?

[gritty crown]

I don't see it anymore and it's all I was playing when I started days ago

I'm trying to find the name

[remote kiln]

oh it would have been someone else closing down the server

you can make your own it's free

[gritty crown]

Infantry conquest

Really enjoy it tbh xD

[remote kiln]

ah you mean the playlist

[gritty crown]

yeah

[remote kiln]

it wasn't removed permanently it's run by BFD every Friday, they rotate

[gritty crown]

Ohh

[remote kiln]

air superiority and vehicle conquest are other modes, IQ will rotate back in eventually

[gritty crown]

Hell yeah

Thanks dude

[next onyx]

Since we had mire people playing FnB in OCE this time round I wonder what we will get next event.

[remote kiln]

np

[remote kiln]

we'll find out, one way or another

[honest nymph]

Kills or assists with throwables seems to work with 1 or 2 throwables no? Seems like I've experienced this situation previously.

[solid torrent]

Grenade?

[honest nymph]

Fire or Knife I believe works. All other throwables do not.

[limpid pond]

It works with throwing knives

[honest nymph]

Yea, just wish they would be more accurate with the descriptions.

[grim goblet]

Is there specific settings you can have for the Jets and Helicopters that allow you to manuver them better

[grim goblet]

because holy shit people are pulling manuvers i don't even understand how

[limpid pond]

Just vehicle sensitivity

[limpid pond]

Most people are long time vehicle grinders

[grim goblet]

yea I get that over manuvering, can do flips and some amzing stuff liek that

but the fast/highly contained turns and floating

[limpid pond]

Yeah mainly just experienced pilots is all been doing it for a while

[grim goblet]

yea. been trying to practice it in portal. Air Superority is the only mode that can properly practice it

[remote kiln]

silk has settings available on his YT

oh wait you're on Xbox

idk sorry, worth a look if someone has any guides for it

[grim goblet]

i'll check still tho. Some of those settlings might help for Xbox

I can pull off those manuvers and such but it just feels like th aircraft is ether too heavy or too limited. it's nothing like BF3 or 4's flying

[kindred flint]

https://ol.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/z86gj8/so_when_are_they_nerfing_this_mf/iya81wg/ ok now im certain totalfps is just trolling the subreddit page

[shell ermine]

Lmao if they nerfed MacKay's aiming movement speed I'd just up and delete the game.

[kindred flint]

why do you need such a crutch?

[shell ermine]

If seriously asking, because it's unbearably slow otherwise, slowest I've seen in a shooter in years.

[limpid pond]

Yo I think I just got the world's first Casper drone none c5 tank kill

[arctic grove]

The new exposure BT layout is… not so good for attackers

Also mackays ads speed is really mostly the reason I play him so if they nerf that ima be pretty disappointed

[limpid pond]

Has to be worlds first right?

[abstract coyote]

Is there like any easy way to get the kills or assist using throwable mission done

[limpid pond]

Yeah use throwing knives

[abstract coyote]

…

Huh

[placid echo]

He said use the throwing knives
https://streamable.com/kg8aok

[limpid pond]

It's not hard. Use a throwing knife

[abstract coyote]

Yea I know

[limpid pond]

Lmao that distance no chance

[limpid pond]

Okay then do it lmao
