battlefield-2042

[low timber]

Oh yeah, you’re right

[tacit sphinx]

it’s honestly kind of not worth even existing lol

[low timber]

True

Could be upped to the 10m tbh

[tacit sphinx]

like it basically can only come into play in point blank panic fire

yeah

[low timber]

As it is still just slightly faster ROF than MCS

[tacit sphinx]

like i’m not saying remove it but a buff wouldn’t hurt, especially if they have nerfed its long range effectiveness

[low timber]

MCS ROF 73.17
GVT ROF 74.16

[coarse oasis]

Battlefield 1 is the best Battlefield ever fact

[low timber]

Wow, such rof, very much

[tacit sphinx]

if you equip mackay’s cowboy hat he channels trick shooters and can empty the magazine in 1.58 seconds

[lilac dust]

Wait I just realized, it's been free on steam and xbox since 12 hours ago roughly. Ya'll see many levels 1's yet?

[quaint vector]

Free Kills.

[low timber]

And free losses

[quaint vector]

Free Tier 1's..

[lilac dust]

Free no revives

[low timber]

As ever since the game went to gamepass my W/L ratio has taken a big dip

[quaint vector]

Free NoPTFO..

[wintry parrot]

Free tier 1's you say?

[low timber]

And a lot more enemies with my team aircrafts

[quaint vector]

More dumb ways to die....

[low timber]

Seen so many noobs just using the condor as a taxi and leaving it at enemy base

[wintry parrot]

See, I prefer to call it a free vehicle drop

[wintry parrot]

I had someone fucking smash the condor I was in right into a tank as I spawned on it

[lilac dust]

What's the consensus on the new pistol btw?

[wintry parrot]

Spam funny is my consensus

[lilac dust]

ic

seems like it's not as good in burst compared to the G57

[wintry parrot]

Yeah the burst is kinda dogwater

But the default semiauto is pretty fast anyways

[grizzled whale]

Facts are usually true, so your statement contradicts itsself

[lilac dust]

certainly seems like the ultimate finger workout weapon tho

[wintry parrot]

I use the VCAR so I'm used to it

[lilac dust]

oof. I still need to try vcar. It's one of the few guns I've just never tried lol

Ok that's a lie I guess. I tried it at launch, but never picked it up again

[wintry parrot]

I didn't use it for awhile, but I tried it a few days ago and I've been hooked since

[next onyx]

I would love a legendary skin for the VCAR.

It's a fun gun to go back to occasionally.

[limpid pond]

It was terrible at launch that's why

[next onyx]

While I think it kills a little quickly now. It's so much fun.

[lilac dust]

So vcar got buffed recently?

[limpid pond]

Eh most people don't use it though since it's a semi

Yeah it got buffed during season 2

[wintry parrot]

Its a weird choice as a marksman rifle

[next onyx]

If it was to be assumed. It was buffed back at the massive weapon stealth patch.

[wintry parrot]

Since its not really a marksman rifle, its more of a carbine

[limpid pond]

Yeah a pistol carbine is about where it stands

[next onyx]

It's literally a carbine.

[lilac dust]

Hmm might have to give it a shot then

[wintry parrot]

I've pulled off a few longshots with it though

[limpid pond]

Yeah for long range it's what a 5 bullet?

[next onyx]

Yeah at 50 metres it's a 5HK.

[limpid pond]

Not bad

It use to be so much worse than that

[wintry parrot]

No idea, I use the close combat mag, so probably more for me

[limpid pond]

I feel like it's pretty balanced now considering it still has major competition amongst the other marksman rigles

[next onyx]

Close combat range is a 3 hit kill out to 29 metres, 4 hit kill out to 39 and 5 hit kill beyond.

If I remember correctly.

Gah.

[limpid pond]

Svk still a 1 shot head and 2 shot body along with the dm7 being a 2 shot head and 3 shot body up to 4 from range

[lilac dust]

Hey Way, as likely one of the only people in the world that has tier 1'd the new pistol, got a good setup you can recommend?

[wintry parrot]

That's pretty good actually

[limpid pond]

There's not much to the new pistol

[next onyx]

500 RPM 4hk not bad for a pistol.

[limpid pond]

Use the extended mag with the compensator

[low timber]

The P125 Fusion Holo is a bit bugged, the gun is so far from the screen when aiming down sights

[limpid pond]

Yeah it's kinda annoying

[wintry parrot]

I barely have any attachments on my pistols since I barely use them

[low timber]

Thought the stock sight on the P125 is also a Fusion Holo

[limpid pond]

I noticed that before I even t1'd the new pistol

[wintry parrot]

Definitely need to get into a bot lobby and run sidearm only to level them

[limpid pond]

The burst is also broken it still has a firerate bug

[low timber]

Ah! @next onyx I just thought of something

[limpid pond]

Yeah as I said. Run the fusion holo or nvk fusion holo with the compensator and extended mag. Also burst at your own expense because Burts isn't the best so I'd semi it

[low timber]

Alex said he’s getting fond of a S4 gun he’s working on, Alex loves Bullpups, we’ve yet to get a new 2042 SMG, P90/P50 magazine is a bullpup design, now think if in S4 we’ll get a Bullpup SMG that uses the same Magazine

[next onyx]

AR57.

Would love to see that.

[low timber]

That’s not a Bullpup nor an smg

[lilac dust]

Realizing quickly that burst seems to suck. I'll run those once I unlock them. ty 👍

[next onyx]

Yeah true.

[limpid pond]

Np. Burst has a firerate bug so it's very inconsistent

[next onyx]

But I was just stating a similar weapon using 5.7x28mm.

[limpid pond]

A new smg that's a bullpup would be great. But tbh might as well just add the thomet apc9 or possibly the scorpion Evo

If bullpup was gonna be the only option then the best gun for that would be the magpull pdr

[low timber]

It also need to have the smart function as on the P125 and S22

[next onyx]

I want that NVK sight on more guns.

[low timber]

I want it to not be white

[limpid pond]

The fusion holo one?

[low timber]

As it gets lost in Kaleidoscope

[limpid pond]

I prefer it too but with the zoom of the standard holo

[next onyx]

The new fusion holo yeah.

[low timber]

And most likely in Breakaway

[next onyx]

It sits better on 1.25x personally.

Yeah we'll have to see.

[low timber]

I want another UH-1 sight tbh

[limpid pond]

I just want a mini holo sight

[low timber]

As I like the UH-1 as it has an ammo counter and range finder, but it feels a bit claustrophobic, like TV 2x was but was changed.

Alex pls

[next onyx]

I was thinking of asking him about that but I don't want to bother him.

[low timber]

He keeps saying he doesn’t mind being @‘ed but we are too introverted to do it

[next onyx]

Haha.

He searches for his name so I'll know he'll see this later!

[low timber]

Are you are he doesn’t search for the @ and not just the text?

[next onyx]

I replied to a message Echo said regarding gadget and I said "What does Alex have to do with that!?"

In which he was confused.

So I'll say this.

Alex! If you see this. Please consider adding the NVK HOLO sight to more guns! It's actually a really good sight.

[robust vapor]

I like the XDR Holo sight

[low timber]

Which is that one again?

[next onyx]

The Micro t1 is good.

The mini mini scope like RDS.

[low timber]

The red dot with a neck way?

[robust vapor]

yes

[next onyx]

Yes!

[robust vapor]

the bot neck

aside from a couple of other sights and that xdr sight i still have iron sights as default

Maul Hybrid and Ghost Hybrid ain't bad either

[low timber]

Also, I want a different 6x scope, as the GVT and Rorsch has only the 6x scope and I’m not a fan of the crosshair, the red part is a bit distracting and the lines are too tightly together and not too useful to me.

[next onyx]

I somehow make use of the 6x for the rorsch because it's the only ranged scope I have.

[low timber]

Like I want a new 6x that has the 8x crosshair

[limpid pond]

I do the same. It's strictly good for Crossman sniping

[low timber]

Like maybe port the Gol Magnum 6x?

[limpid pond]

If not the 6x I'll use the 4x

[wintry parrot]

Does the rorsch have any bullet drop? I assume not, but I might give it a go as s sniper rifle if not

[robust vapor]

what does the sight crosshair color falls into?

temporyal (@temporyal)

A new feature for #Battlefield2042 might be on the horizon:

💥 Squad Contracts

Squads can unlock missions during a match and claim potential rewards like "Power Weapons" or airstrikes after successfully completing the objective.

⚠️ Speculation: Take it with a grain of salt!

Twitter · Dec 1, 2022, 1:00 PM

This is huge.

Sounds like a BFV-style squad management system.

[low timber]

Except it’s battle pick ups

And an air strike

Maybe that’s the stealth bomber we see in the menu and was mined by Temporyal months ago

Thought the weapons seem a bit meh, as we already have a NTW-50 so that XM109 sounds a bit meh
Crawford already had a minigun and grenade launcher isn’t exactly rare ether

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah its a cool idea, but solo players (the majority of battlefield playerbase) are fucked...

[silk surge]

Not necessarily. I had a lot of fun with the call-ins in BFV when playing solo.

[gleaming parcel]

Would be pretty cool imo

[drowsy shuttle]

if to complete the missions you need your whole squad, then its gonna be hard if you're playing with randoms... but it all depends on how they going to do it

[pine roost]

I like the idea of a squad mission coming in

reminds me of the temporary objectives that was leaked a long time ago

[late otter]

To about 800meters it has no drop at all

After that very minimal

[late otter]

Its basically point and click. Its amazing

[pine roost]

but doesn't really allow for as much flick potential, so for close range or more aggressive sniping I'll still go for the other option

[next onyx]

So literally squad reinforcements wow.

[limber meadow]

a grenade launcher... we not learnt yet?

[pine roost]

at least it'll only be for one player

[next onyx]

In before people say Dice officially announced it and holds a grudge because of it.

[pine roost]

not as if all 128 people would have access to the grenade launcher

[limber meadow]

I mean, it is temporyal, but here's hoping its bs

[low timber]

128 Sfar users say otherwise

[pine roost]

Squad reinforcements could coincide with the reintroduction of damage counters and resupply points that was teased recently

[lilac dust]

Nah people will hold temporyal accountable even tho he said speculation

The amount of replies I see over accounts that post leaks or speculation that say "Fix your game" or something thinking it's the official account of that company making the posts 🤣

[limpid pond]

I like looking at temporyal comments of people blaming him for issues in game anyways. Most people don't have common sense and automatically go for the first thing they believe is part of the problem

I remember during launch people were telling him to fix his game lmao

[chilly jacinth]

i feel like these squad perks will just make a good squad even better

[drowsy shuttle]

my guess is, they hope some Dice devs that check the post might read their comments.... still kinda stupid tho...

[chilly jacinth]

and mid squads left in the dust

[limpid pond]

Possibly but most people lack common sense and just bandwagon on the hate train. 80% of the people hating don't keep up with the game or play it so they just speak from one experience no matter how long ago

[low timber]

Imagine a mission where one of those HZ satellites fall and you need to take it

[drowsy shuttle]

100%

[limpid pond]

Is it true or is it beneficial to squads that have a good player on the team

[toxic wigeon]

When does the game go free for pc?

Thought it was today

[lilac dust]

Would be nice to see them just use the HZ assets and bring them to AOW for more content. Sounds like a good idea

[low timber]

It would be cool to see the crash effect tbh, never played HZ myself

[limpid pond]

I always top frag while my squad is bottom of board so will it really be benficiall to good squads to good players

[low timber]

And there could be a lot of different mini missions

[dense sail]

https://outplayed.tv/media/Q4oQB0

he lined that one up for me

[limpid pond]

That he did

Blowing up choppers is satisfying

[dense sail]

yep

[limpid pond]

I personally just shoot their pilots

[wide shore]

I’m 100% totally down with squad XP rewards coming back. I loved the feature in BFV.

[wide shore]

But if we’re bringing stuff back, why can’t we bring back assist counts as kill?

[dense sail]

an assist is not a kill tho

[limpid pond]

I think it will be great. I've switched from a paik main to a Casper main recently. I think the uav basically will help

[next onyx]

So let's say that this is coming in.

How do you guys reckon it could be balanced?

[low timber]

This, annoying to loose badge progression when I do 99% of the damage and a teammate sneezes at them for the kill

[visual gazelle]

I'll welcome this with open arms. I love the way it was handled in Battlefield V. And hopefully it incentivizes teamwork just a little bit more.

[next onyx]

There's a thing called assist counts as kill when you deal 80 to 90% of damage and a teammate steals it.

[junior crest]

how to fast grinding camo m5?

[limpid pond]

It wasn't really an assist though

[spiral folio]

But you do 99% damage and then some guy hits them with a pokeball for 1% is?

[next onyx]

Breakthrough attack is good.

[low timber]

No there’s not

[limpid pond]

The t1 skin? Just drop high kill games

[wide shore]

If I do 90% of the damage on an enemy just so some teammate can swoop in and shoot somebody once, I should at least get and assist counts as kill.

[junior crest]

yup tier 1 skin

[next onyx]

To be fair Marse I cannot remember the specifics.

[junior crest]

any indonesia players?

[spiral folio]

Yea like "assists" over 80% should count as a kill

[dense sail]

I don't really see it as a problem, it happens, you probably steal people's kills as well

[next onyx]

Can't help it sometimes.

[limpid pond]

I think assists that counts as kills is dumb. No reason it should be added.

[wide shore]

And they should get an assist counts as kill if they did over 80 damage.

[spiral folio]

Its because the scoring system is ass imo

[dense sail]

not in my opinion

[next onyx]

It should be a thing considering that kills get stolen.

[visual gazelle]

I'd even welcome as low as 60% of the damage as an assist counts as kill, because you did most of the work.

[spiral folio]

Assists are basically not counted

[wide shore]

Assists are useless in this game. It’s just a reminder that somebody else got the kill you worked on.

[dense sail]

it doesn't take long to kills someone tho?

like a second

[low timber]

The problem I see with the assist count as a kill is that it needs to be low enough to happen, but high enough that snipers can’t get it from every shot, as the Rorsch does 80 body shot damage?

[limpid pond]

Yeah but how often. I don't run into the issue of kills being stolen often because most people have a very low awareness anyways

[next onyx]

They are. Just worth a single point.

[spiral folio]

Yea basically not

[limpid pond]

I'll average like maybe 10 assists a game if I drop 90 kills

[spiral folio]

The points system is garbage

[wide shore]

I don’t see how it being added would affect the game in a negative way at all

[spiral folio]

Because "muh points!"

[wide shore]

It’s not even like you get the same amount of points as an actual kill

[next onyx]

Look I don't care. I'm just stating that any assist, Weather it's of an assist kill or a smoke assist it's an assist worth a single point.

[spiral folio]

There are people whos lives entirely revolve around their scoreboard placement

[wide shore]

It just shows as a bigger number for you

[limpid pond]

Nah it wouldn't affect the game negatively just make it to where people can shoot someone then start shooting another person and let teammates get the kills for them instead

It's like sniping a crowd of people and a tank shoots all of them. You just get mass kills for bothing

[next onyx]

All the system does is make sure you get the point for the kill despite the teammate finishing them off with the amount of damage dealt. (90%)

[spiral folio]

Yea passive helpful stuff like breaking equipment (and theres tons) or smoke gives you nothing for the scoreboard and then people wonder why nobody does it

[next onyx]

Don't understand the contention around it.

I've thrown down tonnes of smokes and I've gotten lots of assists.

[low timber]

Smoke doesn’t deal damage

[limpid pond]

Who said there was contention. I'm fine with it. I just find it a dumb concept because it makes you feel you do better than what you actually do

[next onyx]

Smoke assists.

[wide shore]

Both players get a kill point and the person with the assist gets slightly less points. It does nothing but make the player have less instances of being mad their kill gets stolen.

[low timber]

It’s just a concealment assist

[visual gazelle]

I mostly want assist counts as kill for the assignments and weekly missions crap.

[next onyx]

I'm not sure how they entirely work but if a soldier dies under smoke you'll get a smoke assist.

There's also the revive assist.

[limpid pond]

The concealed revive assist barely works anyways

[next onyx]

I don't really pay attention since I was rushing at people with a shotgun with the smoke up in their face lol.

[low timber]

If enemy dies in your smoke or a teammate gets a kill while in your smoke you get a smoke assist

[wide shore]

In a lot of cases of stolen kills then person who had their kill stolen would’ve gotten the kill anyway. It just makes it less frustrating when it happens

Plus what harm does it do if more players have more kills on the scoreboard. Let players feel like they’re doing good. That overall leads to a better and more fun experience.

[limpid pond]

Yeah it makes sense. I feel like it'll be nice for the less pushy players. The ones that tend to play slower than others. It personally won't benefit me

[pine roost]

the smoke revive assist is so nice

actually teaches people stuff

[next onyx]

It doesn't really benefit people a super amount but it's that thing that helps every then and there to make things less annoying.

[wide shore]

It was in BF4/1/V & Hardline. And I never saw anybody complain about it.

[limpid pond]

If that's what it does then that's what it does. I never knew kills getting stolen in this game was an issue tbh

[wide shore]

I figured it was a universally liked feature.

Man sometimes I have games where all my kills get stolen and I end up with like 30+ assists in a game.

[low timber]

Same

[limpid pond]

Wild. I've never actually had an issue like that

[wide shore]

That example is not super common. But I have kills stolen constantly.

[limpid pond]

If I shoot someone then they die. If I miss then I die it's just a result of me not winning the gunfight

[low timber]

Just few days ago I did +90 damage to an enemy really far away with the G57, got just an assist as some teammate sneezed on them with a sniper.

[wide shore]

Just kill em better 4HeD

[next onyx]

Firing squad.

Finally the pain of ev training is complete.

[limpid pond]

I think the issue for me is I get annoyed at me not winning the gunfight. I personally don't care if someone else kills them

[wide shore]

I mean I don’t lose sleep over it. But if I had a dollar for every time I said out loud “Wow, glad I got an assist after doing 99 damage to that guy” in this game. I’d probably have enough money to fund the next one.

[limpid pond]

Hm intresting I'd probably have 1 dollar. I've just actually never noticed it tbh

I mean I'm not gonna hate it if it comes into the game. Just means I get a higher kd with less work

It'll be one of those things like in cod where you just damage someone so you can get the kill so sounds good

[pine roost]

just damage every player for the required amount and leave the area

points for days

[limpid pond]

Thas what I'll do. It'll make t1ing guns so much easier

Might as well abuse it

[pine roost]

zain would abuse that easily

[limpid pond]

100%

I'll t1 him inna day easily

[lilac dust]

I actually saw a comment from someone say "I'm not trying your free weekend for 2042 because then It'll just make me wanna buy the game" 🤣

[limpid pond]

Just go to breakthrough and use zain

[drowsy shuttle]

wait what? what are you guys talking about?

[limpid pond]

Easy kills without trying

[limpid pond]

If dice decided to add assists count as kills to the game

Might as well just abuse it for t1 camos if they do

[wide shore]

A feature that should’ve never been removed.

[pine roost]

not something I'd really be rooting for

[drowsy shuttle]

da fuq? thats stupid... man, how much more "training wheels" people want in this game? whats next? legalize aimbot?

[limpid pond]

I'm not rooting for it either but it's whatever

[pine roost]

if I get damaged but take cover to avoid dying, the first guy would get the reward dispite not having actually killed me in time

[wide shore]

It was in the last 4 titles wym

[limpid pond]

Idk man. Apparently some people have issues with kills being stolen. Never knew it was a issue

[drowsy shuttle]

what? i don't recall bf v having that...

[limpid pond]

Bfv had it but you'd normally just murder the person before they could kill you

At least I did

[wide shore]

BF4, BF1, Hardline & BFV all had assist counts as kill

It’s not ALL assists btw.

[drowsy shuttle]

damn, i need to sleep more cause my memory is foggy as hell lol

[limpid pond]

I played a medic in bfv game was easy

[wide shore]

It’s only if you did over 80-90 damage to somebody and then had your kill taken by a teammate

You get an “assist counts as kill” and like 80 points instead of 100

[drowsy shuttle]

ah, okay... i get it, but still...

[limpid pond]

Idk man it's just a weird thing inna game like bf considering alot of fights are group based

[drowsy shuttle]

i guess T1 weapons will be way easier then

[pine roost]

still hoping for damage counters soon

[low timber]

I thought it was 75dmg? Or 70

[pine roost]

kinda ties in with this whole topic

[limpid pond]

I feel like you kinda just gotta put bullets in people and either kill them or what no

[limpid pond]

Easily. Like I said I'll abuse it

[wide shore]

It was a great feature that led to a lot less toxicity between teammates. And overall helped players feel more rewarded for shooting at the enemy.

[low timber]

As first it was 50 but it was upped because snipers did 60 dmg on body, which would make snipers always get a “kill”

[limpid pond]

No benefit for rushers I guess. Half the team doesn't push with me anyways

[wide shore]

That’s all I’m sayin. I did all the work

[limpid pond]

I guess it makes sense

[wide shore]

It was such a good feature that bothered nobody, so much so that people don’t even remember it being a thing.

[drowsy shuttle]

i wonder if people will use the "appropriate" weapon when the classes are introduced in the game in 3.2 update... like snipers and marksmans for recon, assault rifles for assault class etc... cause apparently there will be benefits if you use the "correct" weapon

or if we still gonna see camping medics with snipers

[limpid pond]

Nope. As a recon player I'll be spamming my subs as per usual

[pine roost]

the benefits for snipers are so insignificant i'll still be using them on whatever I want

[wide shore]

I’ll certainly still be using whatever gun I want.

[limpid pond]

There's no incentive to play medic this game unless you play for self heal

So I'll use a different class with subs

[wide shore]

The incentive should be that you’re helping the team.

[limpid pond]

The incentive is that you're the only one on your team resting

Ressing

[pine roost]

Used to be points and a position on the scoreboard but that’s not a thing now

[wide shore]

Better than nobody rezzing

[limpid pond]

Nah I got medpens I'm fine

[pine roost]

But tbf I enjoy the intrinsic reward of playing medic

[wide shore]

My first few T1’s in this game were support characters.

[limpid pond]

Playing medic this year feels like a chore with how many people die in the open and how uncoordinated teams are.

So we're mine

Then I proceeded to never use them again

[wide shore]

I love reviving and giving ammo.

[drowsy shuttle]

thank you for your service

[limpid pond]

No reason I should join a game late as falck and drop 60 kills with over 30 revives while no one else has more than 10

[wide shore]

Even though there’s no ”incentive”

[limpid pond]

It just makes you do double the work

[wide shore]

I mean, there is. You’re keeping your team alive and keeping the ticket counter higher.

[spiral folio]

Some people actually do whats necessary but a lot need to have that carrot on a stick to make them accidentally be a team

[limpid pond]

It's already hard enough having to be the one on your team carrying and pushing

[wide shore]

It’s amazing I played TDM the other day and nobody was reviving. Despite it being the easiest way to win.

[spiral folio]

Ironically 3d spotting is kne of those carrots

[wide shore]

3D spotting can fuck off

[spiral folio]

Cause some people have to basically be told what to shoot

[limpid pond]

Tf is 3d spotting

[wide shore]

You wanna talk about a mechanic that shouldn’t have returned? Look no further.

[spiral folio]

3d spotting is like when you press Q and the enemy has a tag over them now

[limpid pond]

Huhhhh??? Like free walls?

Or like a ping based thing

[wide shore]

The thing you used to have to have a gadget to do, but now you can just aim at them and press the spot button to put a Dorito over their head

[limpid pond]

Oh the scanner I know what you're talking about

That's in the game??

[spiral folio]

Well the soflam just like "here's everything"

[limber meadow]

3d spotting has been a thing since bf4 no?

[limpid pond]

Jeesh man I have like 600 hours in this game and don't notice half this shit

[spiral folio]

Bf1 had the worst form of 3d spotting since you could see it through smoke

[visual gazelle]

On that topic, I was wondering why the Recon Class Gadget is not going to be the SOFLAM. With the season 3 update now I know, because everyone can now 3D spot anyway, so makes more sense to give them the Spawn Beacon.

[pine roost]

I used to play an awful lot of squad, and although that did have some extrinisic reward for being supportive, I just enjoyed the feeling of my actions actually having an impact on the match

[wide shore]

It’s been a thing long before BF4. But they removed it in BFV. (Which is what the community wanted BTW.)

2042 didn’t have 3D spotting until the most recent update. Where now you can just do it.

[pine roost]

same goes for battlefield mostly, but not being able to rank high for heals is a bummer

[limpid pond]

That's cool but there's a reason 60% of people auto bleed out

[limber meadow]

alright

[spiral folio]

I do like that if you doubletap spot, it lays a marker on a location pretty much regardless of an actual issue

Which is useful

[limpid pond]

Oh so it's recent. Makes sense why I haven't seen it

[wide shore]

You used to have to use Casper’s drone or a spotting seat in a vehicle to 3D spot. Now you can just aim and press the spot button. Boom. Look guys there’s an enemy there.

[spiral folio]

Because thats what id do basically for lis rockets to get oriented

[visual gazelle]

Yes, much more useful than a "go to this location" marker.

[pine roost]

It isn't all that bad actually

[spiral folio]

Theres worse things

[limpid pond]

Yes like cheaters

[spiral folio]

Like the p125 having 14 round mags

What

[pine roost]

I had some insane presumptions that it would ping through walls but it most definetely doesn't. Especially useful since health bars often just vanish

[wide shore]

I mean, there’s like 9000 other things can spot you in this game. But adding 3D spotting just makes that issue worse.

[limpid pond]

Which have been popping up recently

There's one main cheater in na east rn that people are having an issue with

[wide shore]

I don’t wanna shoot at Doritos man. Let me acquire my targets normally. Playing the minimap on FPS games is stupid.

[visual gazelle]

I think it only pings through walls if you're on the killcam and pinging your killer.

[limber meadow]

been lucky, only seen 1 cheater so far

[limpid pond]

Is it the iIiIiIiIiIiIi guy?

[limber meadow]

no

[limpid pond]

Which one did you see then?

[wide shore]

I’ve only seen one blatant cheater and I’m pretty sure they got banned instantly.

I’ve seen a few hackusations. But not my hint substantiated.

[limber meadow]

idk, I didn't memorise the mans name, I left the lobby

[limpid pond]

Yeah I think the iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi guy made his own

He's pretty blatant

[pine roost]

Main reason I don't mind it is so you can punish those who simply lie still in bushes

[limpid pond]

Dude just headshot aimbots everyone

[lilac dust]

Upon further research, I think xbox free weekend has been live for several hours but steam will start in 4 hours

[limpid pond]

Here's a clip of it

[wide shore]

It also punishes players who are trying to flank.

[limpid pond]

He has a crossbow and watch the killfeed lmao

[limber meadow]

you shouldnt be able to ping in the killcam screen

[pine roost]

which among all the other methods of spotting is a bit annoying

[wide shore]

Same reason I hate the minimap spot when shooting.

[pine roost]

like getting spotted after hitting someone

[wide shore]

Especially with how dogshit suppressors are in this game.

Only one that’s decent is the wrapped suppressor and it only works when 20+m away.

Why

[limpid pond]

It's useful against campers

[spiral folio]

You have to use the subsonics with the suppressors

[visual gazelle]

Imagine being punished for shooting, the one thing you're supposed to be doing in a first person shooter! Thanks DICE!

[pine roost]

the spotting someone who hit you is like the reverse of suppression, punishing you for hitting lol

[wide shore]

They don’t actually do anything.

If you use them with a heavy suppressor it only slightly changes the visual of the hit indicator. Which is useless. I have tested this multiple times with all the different suppressors.

[spiral folio]

Well. You get hit on the right suffice to say the enemy is to your right

Subsonics with the suppressor help some and eliminate the map part but like even with no hit indicator anyone with basic deduction skills can do the math

Since a decent sniper will try to reduce the angles they csn be hit from anyway

[pine roost]

or any player for that matter

[wide shore]

They do not eliminate the map part. If you use subsonics on a light suppressor l (like the wrapped suppressor) and you shoot near somebody they’re still gonna see you in the minimap.

The heavy suppressors work at all ranges regardless of ammo type.

[spiral folio]

Ive had a few flanking moments where it bought me enough time with the ac42 where it let me do some damage withiut being found

The one i use with the ac42 requires you use subsonics to cut the map part

Which makes sense

Because even suppressed, supersonic rounds have a "sonic boom" that you can hear

[coral bobcat]

Are servers currently down atm?

[wide shore]

Both heavy suppressors work with any ammo type. Like I said using subsonics with a heavy suppressor only changes the hit indicator.

[crude tinsel]

anyone got kick out of the gane for easy anti cheat reason? it was fine last update

[spiral folio]

They work in some ways but have more benefit with subsonic

[pine roost]

you might have to verify game files

[wide shore]

Yes, changing the hit indicator. That’s it. They don’t do anything with light suppressors.

The hit indicator thing is so minuscule that what you’re sacrificing by using subsonics isn’t even worth it.

[spiral folio]

Unsuppressed if a sonic round fires near you, you hear the crack and the gunshot separately which really blow the location of the shooter

This is why they typically say super sonic rounds cant be suppressed

[wide shore]

Sure, if you’re going based on on-game sound. But from a mechanics standpoint, you’re off the minimap when you shoot while using a heavy suppressor regardless of ammo type.

I’m not saying it doesn’t help at all

Just the difference Imo is negligible.

[spiral folio]

The ingame suppressor I use flat out says you get additional benefits with subsonics

[wide shore]

You do. It changes the hit indicator. As I said

[spiral folio]

So do that?

[wide shore]

It removes the point, and just makes it round.

Which, I guess is something

[spiral folio]

Yea like it doesnt make a gun silent

It goes from a gunshot to a cardoor slamming

[wide shore]

When they first announced the subsonic/heavy suppressor combo I thought it would just remove the hit indicator like how the suppressors worked in BFV

Now that would’ve been worth it.

[spiral folio]

Realistically speaking the only guns to be actually "silent" are like 22s

Otherwise even suppressed are loud. Ie suppressor not silencer like hollywood implies

[wide shore]

The VSS is almost movie quiet when loaded with subsonics

IRL

[spiral folio]

The Welrod was "silent" but it was like an elaborately suppressed .38 with a relatively huge suppressor

[next onyx]

Thomp.

[low timber]

The heavy suppressors are still a quite worthless, even if they’d give that completely hit indicator stealth the problem is that the reduced stats is still so much and only a few guns have that suppressor, and two of those guns don’t even have subsonics (shotguns)

[spiral folio]

Like baffles full of cotton with rubber "wipes" that the bullet punched through

[next onyx]

The heavy suppressors downsides are so bad they you may as well not use them.

The light suppressor does the job.

Scar with the 6KU is really all you need.

[spiral folio]

I only keep the suppressor on me if im doing a flank job on somebody

[wide shore]

If they actually removed the hit indicator when paired with subbies then I’d say it was worth it.

[spiral folio]

Im not sure if they did

[low timber]

Pathetic - this message is from the sidearms gang.

[spiral folio]

I wanna yes but ive never been hit by one far as i can tell

[wide shore]

Only at 20m+

[wide shore]

They don’t. They change the hit indicator from a “>” to a “)”

[next onyx]

In my experience the 20m is all I need.

[low timber]

)> to a )

[wide shore]

Which is soooooo useful

[spiral folio]

It buys you time not immunity is the way i see it

[next onyx]

It's for balance considering everyone can run it.

[spiral folio]

Like ive found the best way to use it is flanking targets under fire already

[wide shore]

Anyone could run a suppressed gun in BFV too

[next onyx]

I don't want to pricked by assholes hiding with subsonics and light suppressors all day. It should only hide you from the map fully that way.

[wide shore]

And it worked better

[next onyx]

Maybe so. But the Grease gun was the only gun that could and even so it was very limited.

A player who had a good ear could discern.

[low timber]

Only gun?

M1911

PPK

And the bolt action carbine

[next onyx]

Oh yeah m3 and the commando.

As well.

[wide shore]

And the commando Carbine

[next onyx]

I forgot those existed lol.

[low timber]

Oh yeah, the M3

[pine roost]

I used the grease gun simply because I liked the gun. Don't know if the suppressor helped at all

[wide shore]

Suppressors in BFV completely removed the enemies hit indicators.

They had no idea where you were hitting them from.

[low timber]

Like I understand them not completely removing it as you’d feel the pain from coming from a direction, but it’s still way too accurate

[pine roost]

me when paik

or is it rao now that does that

i can't remember

[low timber]

Like it should be 90° the direction

[wide shore]

Well, IMO, if you’re gonna take the negatives of using a heavy suppressor AND subsonics. Then that should be the consolation prize.

It’s not like every gun can even use a heavy suppressor.

And you’d need to take 2 negatives for it to work

[low timber]

We need more heavy suppressors

[wide shore]

I find it so funny that a lot of guns that would actually benefit from using heavy suppressors just don’t have them

[low timber]

Yeah

[pine roost]

what are the downsides to suppressors?

[low timber]

Like a big AR can’t equip it but a pocket MP9 can?

[next onyx]

Less velocity or a reduction to your damage.

[wide shore]

Like why is it the PBX and PP29 only have light suppressors? They’re SMGs but only have suppressors that work at 20m+

[next onyx]

Heavy suppressors do both.

Infact the damage and velocity reduction is even more punishing.

[low timber]

And heavy suppressors have extra less of both about 15%

Oops, forgot to turn of the ping, sorry way

[next onyx]

Hey I can't complain about my PBX with the wrapped suppressor since it goes brrt.

It's fine.

I just hate it when it's done all the time.

One off is fine but many more beyond that? -.-

[wide shore]

I mean. I use the PBX with the wrapped suppressor too. But it still doesn’t make any sense

[solid imp]

PBX is slept on

[low timber]

Well it wasn’t just for you but more of a public

[next onyx]

Oh fair.

By the way.

The new PBX skin has a unique wrapped suppressor.

I should open up the game and show.

[wide shore]

It’s 9:30 AM and I haven’t slept.

[low timber]

Or get it from the tweet?

[wide shore]

Woohoo

[next onyx]

I'm talking about the battle pass PBX.

[low timber]

There’s a battle pass PBX?

[next onyx]

The new water netting skin.

Yeah.

[crude tinsel]

is there an option that make u throw a throwable as soon as u press the assign botton?

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[low timber]

Yes

[next onyx]

Auto throw under controls.

Err of your platform.

Like mouse and keyboard or controller.

[low timber]

But it’s been bugged since launch where it throws both of your grenades if you have more than 1

[wide shore]

I should try to sleep

[solid imp]

This one?

[next onyx]

Yeah that one!

[wide shore]

Reminds me of the preorder skin

[low timber]

And on knives you just rapid throw all 3

[wide shore]

Ninja shit

[next onyx]

I have first hand experience in that.

[low timber]

Imagine a portal mode with infinite ammo with the throwing knives and that bug

Actually

[next onyx]

That'd actually be kinda fun.

[low timber]

I did that in BF1 with the frag, after one round the whole server was unplayable because everyone were throwing grenades

It was some rental server with infinite ammo setting on, and it was infinite of everything, ammo, grenades, gadgets.

[next onyx]

Kek.

[low timber]

I single handedly destroyed that server

[next onyx]

Oh huh so I have changed my ADS sens.

Thought I unlinked it haha.

Automatic rocket guns or nah?

[low timber]

Why the heck did my auto correct change “ly” to “my” twice.

[next onyx]

Yes.

[low timber]

Handedmy, don’t know what that word even means if it even is

[low timber]

You still had to reload

But grenades were just
throw, throw, throw, throw…

You know the Spider-Man meme

random bullshit go

Or some comic

[next onyx]

Yeah its from moon night.

[pine roost]

lemme guess, you've toned it down to a whopping 2.5CM/360

[low timber]

Moon night?

[limpid pond]

So with the whole squad contract thing is there gonna be like cosmetic rewards or is it strictly like bfv kill streaks and what not for score?

[low timber]

Cosmetic rewards?

[pine roost]

I assumed it was a quick in game pop up for that game only purely for score. But ultimately nobody knows

[limpid pond]

I disnt know if they were gonna go the route as the liquidators event were if you use a certain amount of perks you get a skin or a calling card or something

Bf 2042 ffa small map when?

The current ffa map layouts are terrible and cater to much to a slow playstyle. The opposite of ffa

[pine roost]

can't imagine it'll get much anytime soon

[limpid pond]

It'd be cool but I'm not gonna lose my mind if it isn't fixed. I've always been a ffa player but I'm not gonna cry over it. Would be nice to see the current ffa map size areas shrink though especially with all the new remakes and what not

[lilac dust]

It's a shame tactical conquest got poor reception on the locked specialist system where you can only have 1 of that character per squad. I was hoping with the death of hazard zone we'd see new modes in AoW where you have to think more carefully about what specialist you want to bring into it, but that may not happen now 🙃

[solid imp]

If SQDM were brought into Portal we could create HZ ourselves

And limit specialists

[lilac dust]

Hmmmm

That would be cool

[solid imp]

MCOMs as "satellite" drops

[visual gazelle]

Temporyl's data mining states that it's like Battlefield V where you can spend those points to call in weapon pickups or airstrikes.

[pine roost]

Actually that'd be a decent idea. Full on conquest with maybe 64 players total, the satellite drops and that becomes a temporary capture point? But the catch is that it can land anywhere like in HZ

[solid imp]

Even he admitted big grain of salt with that mine

[pine roost]

instead of set flag points

[robust vapor]

Infinite nades

Screaming tanks in BF tho

[limpid pond]

Does it randomly select a squad leader like bf5

[visual gazelle]

It's already like that in 2042.

[limpid pond]

It is?

Wild never knew that

I think they should choose the best player to be the squad leader

[visual gazelle]

Even when I'm playing with friends, it randomly selects one of us as the leader. Doesn't matter who formed the party first.

[lilac dust]

Bro I just realized. Imagine how popping hazard zone will be for the next few days 🤣

[limpid pond]

Yeah now that's something I think is dumb. It should select the best player from the squad to be squad leader

[pearl ridge]

I think that was a mode in Battlefront 2015.

[limpid pond]

Wdym?

[pearl ridge]

It’d work okay enough as long as the spawns are properly controlled

[lilac dust]

There boutta be a shit load of innocent people downloading the game for the first time and thinking "Oooh this mode sounds fun"

[visual gazelle]

Oh you mean Hazard Zone won't be dead? 😛

[limpid pond]

I personally like hazard zone tbh. I think the idea of collecting drives and being the last one standing then extracting is cool. Allows you to show skill

[lilac dust]

It's potential is massive. I really enjoyed it for the first few weeks of launch, but it's progression system is too hollow and it needed either an exclusive map designed for the mode or they needed to add more players or shrink the maps down a lil bit IMO

[limpid pond]

I think shrinking the maps down would be the smartest and offering a squad elimination too would be good. Make it kinda like a br but if your whole squad dies you can no longer respawn. The fact that you can just keep coming back is dumb imo

[visual gazelle]

After playing Modern Warzone 2's DMZ, I can certainly see the appeal of extraction shooters now. It's just that I don't play Battlefield to play extraction shooters.

[limpid pond]

Battlefields extraction shooter could be the best if they added a better system and reward for exfil

[wispy haven]

Hot take: Just make the game free for 1 month straight on all platforms.

[limpid pond]

Eh not the best idea but it wouldn't hurt

[wispy haven]

1 month playtime is good for healthy community (new) feedback

[limpid pond]

Making games free only for a certain period of time is dumb in general

[wispy haven]

and to hook people to buy the game

[limpid pond]

It's like if you buy the battlepass on the free version then your trial ends and you lose money

[wispy haven]

And it is easier to make your mind if you wanna buy the game in 1 month comp to 4 days

It won’t be expected and player numbers will skyrocket

[visual gazelle]

Just copy Call of Duty and make Hazard Zone free for everyone, but you have to buy the game to play all the other game modes.

[limpid pond]

Possibly. Not entirely the case due to bandwagon haters

[wispy haven]

Damn I am loving and am addicted to this game

[limpid pond]

Alot of people hate it for not reason

[pine roost]

making the game free for a month won't make me enjoy it any more than I do now

[limpid pond]

They just had a bad experience at launch and then say the game is trash and don't try it again

[wispy haven]

Fact: world does not exist JUST for you.

I am speaking in general

[limpid pond]

Yeah free 2 play kids are also annoying

To many people camping makes the game slower

[next onyx]

It's time farm.

[visual gazelle]

On a similar topic, let me paste what I wrote in my friend's server:
I started hating Battlefield 2042 prior to season 3. But after playing a couple hours of season 3, I'm convinced this isn't copium. I'm actually having a lot of fun with the new update. I think it has to do with the new ping system where it brings it back in line with Battlefield 4 with the 3D spotting if you press the commo rose button while pointing at an enemy. Communication with squadmates is so much easier as a result and thus there are more teamwork opportunities. Snipers from 100 meters away can't hide anymore. Mackays and Sundances who always have the height advantage can't hide for too long. Helos are spotted more often so anti-air players can more effectively take them out. It's not my favorite spotting system, but I'll take it if it improves the gameplay.
It might also have to do with vehicles having category slots now, so for example there will always be a vehicle slot available for an anti-air light vehicle to counter helos.

[pine roost]

lacking any sense of awareness, so you know for a fact there will be next to no resupplying or reviving

[next onyx]

All the free to play - players are coming in.

[wispy haven]

I forced my friend to try it💀

I think he is gonna love it

I do think making game for 1 week or 1 month would be amazing gift from EA for holidays

[pine roost]

none of my friends are going to be playing it, I know that for sure

[wispy haven]

Like no other company would do that

[pine roost]

I'll be by myself on that front

[pearl ridge]

Goddamn the m44 is painfully slow

[limpid pond]

I mean it all makes sense. I've enjoyed it for a while now but just certain things make me annoyed. Mainly the fact that over half the playerbasr just sucks so I'm stuck trying to 1v32 a team

[pearl ridge]

Even the single-action revolvers in bf1 were faster then this

[pine roost]

I'm fairly certain revolvers shouldn't be getting worse

[limpid pond]

None of my friends play it either. No one really want to play a game where participation trophies aren't around

[pine roost]

maybe Alex can confirm but why does it fire so much slower

[wispy haven]

US OR EU?

[limpid pond]

Na

[next onyx]

It's supposed to be a ranged revolver.

[wispy haven]

Damn

I am on eu

[next onyx]

I wouldn't mind if its damage range was reduced slightly but given better velocity.

[wispy haven]

I would play with you but ms💀

[pine roost]

my friends don't want to play it because 'it's painfully unbalanced and the specialists are cringe'

[next onyx]

Something to make it more bearable.

[pine roost]

they also noticed the mouse input and overall performance problems and that didn't help

[limpid pond]

Mine don't want to play because "the game is shit" with no context as to why

[pearl ridge]

It’s the future and we’re using weapon technology from the 19th century

[limpid pond]

When I ask them to explain their response is the game just sucks

But then they hop on cod and go 19 and 30 and are having fun

I question people

[pine roost]

🤨

[visual gazelle]

Sounds like every game that has received mainstream internet hate. Whether it be Battlefield V, 2042, or Last of Us II.

[wispy haven]

I streamed my friendo the game in discord who thought game was crap. in 1 hour his pov completely changed, he is downloading the game and i think he is taking his time off from warzone

[mental delta]

Shows how much the first impression counts for a game

[spiral folio]

The last of 2042
Battlefield us

[wispy haven]

EXACTLY

but CP2077 is counter argument for that

[visual gazelle]

Insanely good marketing makes people pre-order.

[wispy haven]

Like previous month pl numbers were above 100k+

[pine roost]

I streamed the game the other day and nobody was impressed. Well hope you have a good time playing with them anyways

[limpid pond]

Yeah they messed up the launch but considering one of my buddies is a "die hard battlefield fan" I had to call cap as soon as he hated this one

[wispy haven]

Thank you 💜

[mental delta]

I said to one of my friend that he should give it a new try with the new content and map remasters and he just said "why ?", then we continued playing MW2

[limpid pond]

I don't play with them often. It was only mainly when they needed me to carry them in cod

[pine roost]

nice

[wispy haven]

He should give it a try cause the war experience - you will never find in another game.

[limpid pond]

Yeah they're not good and hate games that don't reward bad players

[next onyx]

As much as I hated 2042 at the start. The game is actually fun now.

[limpid pond]

They hate apex the most

[next onyx]

And since it's battlefield. It does what I want.

[wispy haven]

Agree. Got the game 4 days ago. I AM IN LOVE.

[next onyx]

I can cruise and kill people without giving a damn.

[wispy haven]

I absolutely love it

[limpid pond]

I personally enjoy apex when I play

[next onyx]

It's nice to know that people actually enjoy the game.

[mental delta]

He played BF4 and BF1 so I think he got disappointed with BF2042 launch when he saw how non-immersive it was

[wispy haven]

I am GTX 1660 Ti on high and I have above 60 fps in most areas

I am impressed

[next onyx]

Oi Neon when you can try short barrelled m5a3 with a short barrel extended.

[pine roost]

in isolation I guess it can be alright, but of course there's still quite a few things on my radar that I'd like changed

[limpid pond]

I enjoy 2042 also although I wish a few things gun based and mode based were different I still enjoy it

[next onyx]

Your CPU is most likely carrying you.

What do you have for your CPU?

For a 1660TI that isn't even bad at all.

[wispy haven]

Ryzen 5 3600

[pine roost]

but it's been far too long since I've had a main fps to dedicate my time towards so I gave in

[visual gazelle]

The main thing is I'm not getting killed by bullshit reasons nearly as often as before now. So gunfights are more fair and thus fun.

[wispy haven]

I will. It is vault gun, yeah?

[next onyx]

Personally I've sort of been busy with real life endeavours so I haven't been able to keep up to speed with the game(?)

Nah it's the starting Assault rifle.

[wispy haven]

I remember yeah

[next onyx]

It kills a little slowly but when you get that short barrel it's nothing short of perfection.

[wispy haven]

I love AK24 but many people are trashing it

Idk why AKs in video games

are always amazing for me

[pine roost]

ak has easily been my most used so far

[wispy haven]

Many people mostly youtubers trash ak24

[pine roost]

the recoil feels consistent, close range ttk feels alright and at long range it works too

[wispy haven]

“it cant keep up with scarf” or whatevs

[pine roost]

headshots are where it shines

[next onyx]

The AK is very middling.

In my experience.

The SCAR destroys at a range though.

[mental delta]

They are trashing it because how it turned to be, at launch it was a really good weapon, powerful but not cheated at all, and it suffered multiple downgrades since

[next onyx]

It hasn't really been downgraded at all.

[wispy haven]

I want vector but I absolute hate that

[next onyx]

It got overshadowed.

[wispy haven]

K30 is locked behind level

I hate that

[next onyx]

Who needs the vector when you have the PBX?

[gritty stratus]

Is the xm8 bugged? Tons of of zero screen deaths this morning. 0 hit indicators, just dying as soon as I’m hit

[next onyx]

I'm serious;. The PBX is amazing.

Yeah the new guns have a weird ass bug.

[tropic granite]

imo it's still pretty good

burst mode is decent

[wispy haven]

Its reliable and more forgiving imo

[tropic granite]

AC-42 is better tho

[pine roost]

I honestly don't think I've ever switched modes on any gun 😬

[tropic granite]

AK-24 is a more noob-friendly AK-24

[wispy haven]

Most meta gun

[tropic granite]

*AC-42

lmao

[wispy haven]

VSS

change my mind

you can use dmr

ar

or smg style

BRO ITS OP

[tropic granite]

I use burst on the AK-24 and auto on the VSS but thats about it

[next onyx]

M5a3 good for this reason.

[mental delta]

I would say it's good enough now but tbh I still don't understand why they didn't stop nerfing/buffing it for 8 updates straight lol, gun was completely fine at launch in my opinion

[next onyx]

It rips up close.

[wispy haven]

Its just me maybe but

[next onyx]

Ac42 is a good ranged weapon and that's that.

[wispy haven]

cause it is first weapon you have

i automatically think it is trash lmao💀💀

[tropic granite]

it's a DMR assault rifle

[next onyx]

It's a burst styled assault rifle that works off a psuedo hyper burst.

Highly accurate.

[spiral folio]

The irony is that the US picked the m5 because 556 has range issues

[next onyx]

But sucks up close.

For obvious reasons.

[tropic granite]

I use M5A3 with high-power ammo suppressor and 4x scope so its basically the real life M5

its pretty good actually

[wispy haven]

don’t you suffer in close ranges?

[tropic granite]

not really

[mighty whale]

when ever i open bf2042 a satellite cutscene appears and i cant play?

[wispy haven]

i am used to ctrl and shoot from cod

and in this game you stop shooting when ctrling💀

[tropic granite]

honestly the assault rifles are my favorite guns

[wispy haven]

i have that habit that i can’t get rid of

[pine roost]

don't think it does. Crouch spamming doesn't stop you from shooting

[tropic granite]

SVK MP9 and some other guns are good but ARs are my favorite

[mighty whale]

i have tried to end with task manager but it dosent work

[wispy haven]

lying down

[pine roost]

oohhh

[wispy haven]

🤣

[pine roost]

wait you map that to control?

[wispy haven]

bro gets blanket first and then continues shooting

[next onyx]

Oh that's always been a thing in battlefield.

[mossy gust]

I beat my kill record

[wispy haven]

i meant ctrl on keyboard💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[next onyx]

Yeah just crouch spam. That's your best.

GOOD mango.

How many did you get.

[tropic granite]

yea i don't think dolphin-diving has ever been a thing in battlefield

[mossy gust]

146

[next onyx]

NICE.

[pine roost]

that's cursed I won't lie

[next onyx]

Hey I do it too Bullet.

[tropic granite]

jesus

[mossy gust]

Thank you

[pine roost]

NOT YOU TOO

how can you play with control set to prone

[tropic granite]

i think the best i've ever done was 40-smth kills

im not that good

[pine roost]

I just can't even wrap my head around it

[next onyx]

I mean I just set it to crouch.

But than again Bullet I've had people say I'm cursed since I play on a super high sens and with invert on LOL.

[tropic granite]

i also play on xbox if that matters lmao

[pine roost]

I...

well

[tropic granite]

what the hell

[next onyx]

I PUSH the mouse to control my recoil. I PUSH my thumbsticks to control the recoil.

[tropic granite]

imagine controlling recoil

just shoot and then stop shoot when it goes too high

[mossy gust]

It was my second game on, I just redownloaded battlefield yesterday, haven’t played it since the week it came out

[next onyx]

Yeah I get called a hacker for it.

[wispy haven]

i have the game on 1600 dpi with 7 sens💀💀💀💀

[tropic granite]

yea controlling recoil on console is hard

[pine roost]

friend of mine does the same, I guess if you started by doing that it'll feel as natural as how I move the mouse

[tropic granite]

i can prob do it

but i don't

[mossy gust]

Not at all

[next onyx]

1600 DPI with an in game sens of 38.4 or something close.

[wispy haven]

bro💀

[tropic granite]

recoil isn't bad enough outside of like 200+ feet to justify

[mossy gust]

Just tap it and it’s a piece of cake

[tropic granite]

i also use burst

[next onyx]

RECONTEXTUALISES MY CLIPS DOESN'T IT!?

[tropic granite]

so that

that helps

[pine roost]

conceptually I thought it would be easier on controller, since you would just need to find that position where recoil is cancelled out, which is the same every time

[next onyx]

Ragdolls are super funny in this game though.

[wispy haven]

imagine if aim assist was as op as in warzone 2💀

[pine roost]

but i don't use it so I wouldn't know

[pine roost]

I would quit playing

[wispy haven]

lmao same

[tropic granite]

no it's just clunkier

probably easy but idrc

aim assist and the fact that i don't usually just hold it down after like 30 feet helps

[pine roost]

took me a solid 100 hours of smoothness training to get it down to a decent level on pc

[next onyx]

Wouldn't mind it if consoles aim assist for battlefield was slightly stronger.

[tropic granite]

i don't really notice a difference but that's just me

[next onyx]

It's already a good system but lets admit it. It's a bit weak.

[mossy gust]

My aim assist is off

[pine roost]

based on what Dread has shown us, it seems fine

[tropic granite]

honestly 2042 is really fun to me

[next onyx]

Yeah personally I can't play this game on console. The input is so bad on it.

[tropic granite]

it's not a good battlefield style game but its fun

[wispy haven]

LETS MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE

[tropic granite]

and i'd rather play it than anything like squad or such where i run for 30 miles before getting 1 shot

[next onyx]

Kim possible.

[mossy gust]

I can’t find where to fix my movement speed, I turn a little to slow

[tropic granite]

sensitivity for look or aim

[silk surge]

I'm kinda disappointed that the playercount numbers hasn't changed much since its day 1 of 2042 being free on Steam 😦

[next onyx]

Just be careful when you get out the hind peoples.

[mossy gust]

Ah yes sensitivity, I couldn’t think what it was called for a moment, but I can’t find where to fix it

[pine roost]

controller -> on foot?

[wispy haven]

NERF MCKAY

ADADADA

[silk surge]

That's disgustingly unlucky lol

[mossy gust]

Thx

I still use the m5

[next onyx]

Dude I have fucking flashbacks of exiting a transport at the right time on bf4 and smacking into a god damn tree.

[pine roost]

ay I didn't think I could remember that

[silk surge]

Oh god yeah

[wispy haven]

damn ryzen 5 3600 is still good

[mossy gust]

Is there a pistol that is full auto? I haven’t looked yet

[next onyx]

Pf51.

[tropic granite]

yea

[next onyx]

It's not the best but it does the job.

[spiral folio]

The pf51 yea basically a mini smg

[mossy gust]

Great

[spiral folio]

If you aim it can take down like 2-3

[mossy gust]

Perfect

[silk surge]

oh btw

[spiral folio]

If you dont itll spray rounds everywhere except the enemy

[low cypress]

…

[mossy gust]

Lmao

[low cypress]

Interesting

[shell ermine]

Jfc please no

[spiral folio]

Its sooo weird a game doing a promo to "get your friends to play" no game has done this ever

[low cypress]

I pray that if this comes to the game they find a way to regulate it

Every single squad in the match having grenade launchers and air strikes does not sound fun in the slightest imo

[silk surge]

V1 rocket go brrr

blingblingblingbling

[next onyx]

They should just make battle pick ups a part of the map.

[solid imp]

Yeah but how long have ppl been asking DICE to be realistic about the game, consider drastic changes, etc... this is on par with that. They've been doing what we ask them for awhile now with 2042 🙂

[next onyx]

Instead through a system.

[low cypress]

The system sounds kinda cool

[limpid pond]

Almost every single squad probably won't get it lmao. They're choosing random squad leaders and we know that over half the 2042 player base is pretty bad

[low cypress]

But pickups seems better

[next onyx]

Yeah considering how this game works with its squads (lol) this system will be useless.

[spiral folio]

Is that the xm107 or 109

[low cypress]

uhh

[next onyx]

Big gun.

[low cypress]

Its somethjng thats shooting .50 bmg

[limpid pond]

Pretty much. To many people that go 4 and 17 will end up being squad leader

[mossy gust]

Yeah

[next onyx]

Big round.

[limpid pond]

It'll be like bf5 where you have the dude in the back of the map for 30 minutes who goes 4 and 4 with a sniper and does nothing but is squad leader

[next onyx]

I wouldn't mind it if they rebalanced the NTW to be a battle pick up but I think it's too late for that.

[spiral folio]

The minigun is kinda... impossible to wield so maybe theyll add some sort of exoskeleton with protective plates on it. And like war never changes

[next onyx]

You should be able to steal the squad leader at least.

I always did that.

[low cypress]

Big round that make torso become paste hmmmm

[solid imp]

Agree about minigun I was more talking about the "asking friends to play" part

[limpid pond]

I believe so too. If I'm the top fragger I should get squad leader

[pine roost]

if someone with the role isn't active it'll switch off them

which is neat

[limpid pond]

But what counts as active though

[mossy gust]

I’m never squad leader but oh well

[pine roost]

not giving out orders

[solid imp]

ALso.. air strikes? please no lol. Not unless it's akin to artillery strikes from an asset which is physically on the field and can be destroyed

[next onyx]

You can request an order which if they do not give an order it can automatically give it to you.

They should at least give a big warning.

[spiral folio]

Ah lord its the XM109

[next onyx]

If there's an airstrike? Red smoke.

I hope the smoke barrage comes back.

[limpid pond]

If I have 60 kills with 16 caps and 12 assists I should automatically be given squad leader compared to Timmy having 12 kills with 5 caps and 10 assists

[spiral folio]

If you hate the xm37 youre gonna love the xm109

[pine roost]

the v1 2.0 clips will be rolling in

[next onyx]

Knowing my luck I'll get killed by a direct impact smoke barrage.

[mossy gust]

I still use the m5

[solid imp]

Red smoke on artillery barrage makes me think of Company of Heroes 🙂

[next onyx]

Kek.

[mossy gust]

Ik the pain lol

[spiral folio]

The XM109 is a 25mm airburst semi automatic sniper rifle

[next onyx]

I've been killed by it three times.

[mossy gust]

Oof

[next onyx]

Don't you know how low the chances are of that.

[limpid pond]

Smoke barrage?

[next onyx]

[limpid pond]

From.bf 5

?*

[next onyx]

Yeah in bf5 I got killed by it three times in total.

[low cypress]

no.

[limpid pond]

How the hell

[spiral folio]

Yarp

[low cypress]

no no no no no

NO

NO NONONONONON

[spiral folio]

Id rather have the m107 which is a semi auto .50cal

[limpid pond]

And I thought my luck with vehicles killing me was bad

[mental delta]

No no no no no

[next onyx]

The Xm109 fires 25 x 29 MM grenade rounds meant for anti vehicle use.

[tacit sphinx]

the one time i died to a smoke barrage was in a plane lmao

[spiral folio]

But the 109 sounds like itd be hell

[next onyx]

How the fuck even.

[toxic wigeon]

Danny lmao coping over air strike on twitter

[low cypress]

WHYYYY

[toxic wigeon]

So funny

[mossy gust]

I was getting two shotted from an assault rifle yesterday, needs a nerf

[low cypress]

IF IT TURNS OUT REAL WHYYY

[tacit sphinx]

i just got yoinked and i was very confused how i died then it panned to a random dude on the ground and credited it to smoke barrage

[nocturne glacier]

How would they even balance it againist infantry?

[spiral folio]

Well it uses the same rounnds as the xm25 airburst which is the prototype that inspired the xm37 in the game

[low cypress]

what rifle?

[spiral folio]

The xm109 was to be the long range version

[mossy gust]

It was the rifle that kinda looks like and aug, idk the actual name for it tho

[tacit sphinx]

mfw can't read the text that said it's pure speculation

[limpid pond]

My luck with vehicles is actually nuts

[tacit sphinx]

the "power weapins" were referenced in the beta(?) client and are not in the current build afaik lol

[low cypress]

probably headshot multiplier

[stable thicket]

its december 1st, how come i cant download bf2042?

[spiral folio]

Also the xm109 is 30lb lighter tham the NFT50

[stable thicket]

is it a different steam page for the f2p download?

[next onyx]

Not 100% sure.

[mossy gust]

Just looked what it was called, it is the AC-42

Needs a nerf

[mental delta]

Does somebody else like XM8 ?

[stable thicket]

maybe the f2p isnt available yet. im on the west coast so its still 7:40am here. too bad i cant download while im at school tho

[radiant prism]

pbx go brrrr

[low cypress]

its a burst rifle

[next onyx]

PBX!?

[limpid pond]

Pbx is my baby

[mossy gust]

Then I was getting one bursted then

[low cypress]

1 burst to the head kills you instantly bru

[next onyx]

@limpid pond

[mossy gust]

I didn’t know it was a burst 🤔, I’m relearning the weapons

[spiral folio]

Wonder what the drop would be on the xm109.

[radiant prism]

Two T1 PBXs dick measuring lol

[low cypress]

[limpid pond]

Sheeshhhhhh

[next onyx]

Damn Dread.

[spiral folio]

It says effective range 2000m

[next onyx]

What's your in game sens?

[limpid pond]

Pbx goes crazy

[limpid pond]

Back to 65 on roller but 120 ads sense for 1.0 zoom

[next onyx]

I work on 75 sens with soldier USA on.

My USA is Coeff is 178%.

You should give it a go!

[low cypress]

sorry way but Dread takes the w for the clips

[mossy gust]

Geez

[limpid pond]

I'll have to try it. Is it smooth even with stick drift

[pine roost]

might give the pbx a shot tonight after a lil warmup

[next onyx]

Erm.

it's fast.

and reactive.

You'll need to tone back the ADS sens because USA sorta has you zoom.

[limpid pond]

Bet I'll screeshot that and give it a go

Cqb with the pbx is just the best

[low cypress]

Agreed

[limpid pond]

Remember the guy that accused me of cheating cause my sensitivity on roller

[pine roost]

reee you can't flick on controller

[limpid pond]

Yeah that was funny

[uncut bay]

i got accused of being on controller because of my tracking once

[next onyx]

I may not have the clips but I have the scream.

[pine roost]

a hackusation is like a goal for me right now

[limpid pond]

Lmao you're a bf 2042 faide

[pine roost]

but with no more all chat that ain't happening

[mossy gust]

I love that lol

[spiral folio]

Yea i wish i coulda heard the screams yesterday

Hourglass had like 8 snipers on the roof of the tall building and i found some perfect angle on em

[limpid pond]

My infamous hacking clip

[spiral folio]

They kept respawning for a bit but eventually they stopped

I know I've sniped from there but if i see 6-7 other people on a roof. Nah nah bye

[limpid pond]

If I see anyone onna roof. My goal is to smoke my way to them and push uo

[low cypress]

Im gonna head to bed

[next onyx]

I got called a hacker trying to capture my team on squad conquest.

Good night Ruby!

[low cypress]

Gotta catch them Z’s

[spiral folio]

Bed

[low cypress]

Bed

[spiral folio]

Its..10am

[low cypress]

yep

[limpid pond]

Night ruby

[spiral folio]

Morning?

[low cypress]

Yes

[next onyx]

Dread might have the PBX clip, but I have the SCAR clip!

[limpid pond]

To be fair I've seen the way you play and I can say it's justified. You're actually to good at this game

[mossy gust]

Bye crabby

[low cypress]

Is that a problem

[spiral folio]

I couldnt do night shift

[limpid pond]

Dude I love the scar blueprint reddot

[spiral folio]

I did a morning shift once

[low cypress]

I should probably stop staying up this late

But oh wellll

[shell ermine]

Dislike using USA, it always feels weird

[next onyx]

I try to help my team where I can.

[limpid pond]

That was at least 10 people

[next onyx]

I might have my issues but I try to be a good teammate.

[shell ermine]

I run 60 base sens with a 1.3x aiming multiplier

[next onyx]

Also got some jammy music too.

Dread.

[spiral folio]

Well if it wraps around this far its not staying up late. Its just ol fashioned insomnia if youre not working at night

[nocturne glacier]

Does anyone know if the GVT nerf was intentional?
