battlefield-2042

[radiant prism]

I'm going to be very sad if it is

[shell ermine]

Yep

[lilac dust]

[tacit sphinx]

It will encourage a combination of vehicular and infantry combat meaning teamplay is the key to victory.
other than shoving an abrams down the stairs i don't think so

im trying to work out if the wording implies it's a map that has been in multiple games and bf4 was just the last one, or if it's just "it's any map from bf4"

leaning towards the latter as the other list i think is like 3 maps lol

[uncut bay]

"last seen in" would imply it's been in multiple games

[radiant prism]

Gotta love that the first 6 people to comment "don't care about the game" so much that they had to comment on the post within the first few minutes to let them know that

[grave prism]

1 more specialist 😭

[lilac dust]

first 59 seconds..... even worse LOL

[tacit sphinx]

the wording is "last saw combat in", but that could even just be an in-world thing of there was a fight there during bf4 events and then it's been peaceful since

[grave prism]

i bet its gonna be Caspian border 2042, it's already in the game, minimal amount of effort to turn it to an overgrown 2042 map

[tacit sphinx]

the combined arms-y comment does kinda fit caspian

but personally i'd lean towards perhaps like a final stand map reimagined? honestly anything anyone says is pure speculation at this point though

[tame cobalt]

[tacit sphinx]

"overgrown area, engulfed with vegetation" does bring to mind more vibrant and lush environments than some russian(?) mountainside though

personally

[lilac dust]

They confirmed its a new map. So it will likely just be based around a familiar BF4 location and Caspian border is a BF3 map that was remastered in BF4, so they would've mentioned BF3 if there was even a chance it was going to be caspian border

[royal trail]

bf2042 is on 67% sale on steam

[radiant prism]

And on free weekend for PC

[tame cobalt]

it's gonna be golmud

[grave prism]

just want damavand peak in portal 😭

[tame cobalt]

Golmud shitway

[royal trail]

i want bf3 metro in portal

128 players

do it

[tacit sphinx]

def reading too much into it now but "engulfed" suggests to me like... a lot of structures that have been overtaken by plants

[lilac dust]

DICE owe it to us to use the now removed watch tower of breakaway and turn it into a damavand peak remake in portal.

[tame cobalt]

zavod

[lilac dust]

Damn that's a thicc boi

[tame cobalt]

lel

[radiant prism]

Did they remove that flag?

[lilac dust]

in the rework yes

[spiral folio]

Read it again
It says its an area that hasnt been revisited since bf4

The area in 2042 will be overgrown

It doesnt say that its an area that was overgrown in bf4. Theyre not connected statements.

[radiant prism]

Didn't see that ;-;

[spiral folio]

So it doesnt exclude areas with no vegetation

Ie cities or wastelands

[radiant prism]

Was firestorm in BF4?

[lilac dust]

yes

as a remake

[uncut bay]

could be firestorm but i can't see much vegetation there

[spiral folio]

That doesnt matter

[dapper river]

that's not its nose, this is its head

[uncut bay]

i meant i can't see it having vegetation in 2042

[radiant prism]

yeah no

Lush firestorm just seems weird

[spiral folio]

They can pull some "last of us" style thing or like some biodome bs

Renewal is a big farm in a desert

It could still be a jungle tropicsl area, but i think overgrown is a clue

[next onyx]

Boop the nosey wosey owo.

If I had to guess. Either Zavod or Metro.

[uncut bay]

neither of those really make sense to me

[spiral folio]

I mean we wont even know for months

[uncut bay]

zavod already has vegetation, metro is too cold for vegetation

[spiral folio]

Doesnt have to make sense

Its 2042

[still vault]

loving it

[next onyx]

Zavod was already abandoned and initially it is known as abandoned.

Maybe the vegetation grew over fucked if I know.

[uncut bay]

would be nice if it made sense, and we need to apply some sense when speculating otherwise any nutcase theory runs

[next onyx]

I just want a zavod 311 remake.

Yeah.

[spiral folio]

Climate zanyness is like a recurring theme. Nothing has to make sense

[uncut bay]

same zavod is great

[patent lion]

When will the Autothrow grenade option be fixed? Since launch it's been throwing all your stuff in rapid succession if you have more than 1 throwable

[quaint vector]

Turn it off in settings

[patent lion]

No, because switching to it and then throwing is slow as hell

Especially with the throwing knives

Instead of me turning it off in the settings, DICE could fix it and let it work as intended

[dapper river]

throwing knives are best used with autothrow disabled

[patent lion]

Since it's been broken since launch

[patent lion]

Not on console, holding L1 to charge it and letting go is throwing it

That's how it worked in BFV, and that is how the setting should work

[radiant prism]

I like being able to hold grenades uncooked for a while

On PC its completely fine

[quaint vector]

It fine on consoles as well

But you know.. people have to complain or hate again and again

[atomic musk]

Is it just me or is the Battlefield 2042 theme a banger?

Well not that good, but…

[sour meadow]

y'all have those days where it feels like everyone else has like 75% more health

[arctic grove]

Just a quick question, are the map revamps coming next year? Or later in December? I thought it was going to be out with S3?

[vital raft]

It’s good but the other games overshadow it’s theme

[sour meadow]

first one i think is coming this month

next in jan

[arctic grove]

Any articles or tweets from DICE about those dates?

[sour meadow]

uhhhh lemme check

[arctic grove]

Thanks

[frank stratus]

Here you go fanboys

[frank stratus]

Next year

[sour meadow]

so 3.1 which has the manifest update is launching this month

[arctic grove]

Shoot me the article on that. I didn't get a chance to read what's coming up.

[sour meadow]

https://twitter.com/BFBulletin/status/1594729304193212416?s=20&t=-mpamFAQYp1VNaLqX2FRDg

it's a reliable source

[still vault]

ze pins #battlefield-2042 message

[arctic grove]

Thanks

[frank stratus]

Or you could go in their instagram

[sour meadow]

also getting more vault weapons

[frank stratus]

💀

[sour meadow]

and another mid season event in jan

which hopefully won't be just another cash grab

[tame cobalt]

Oof

[frank stratus]

Okay and?

[tame cobalt]

[tacit sphinx]

yes
and a russian mountainside is still a russian mountainside, not particularly lush and vibrant

[dapper river]

the trial is live, time to destroy all the newbs so hard that they will uninstall and never play again

[arctic grove]

Free XP all day man. Get me closer to T1 on the MK-4 lmao

[spiral folio]

More accurately would be "wasnt" in bf4

But no rules apply to 2042

[sour meadow]

oh yea i finally reached T1 with a specialist

[limber meadow]

aah, normal conversations, and not just american football spam

[royal trail]

bf2142 and titan mode in portal please

dice plz

[dapper river]

same, time to T1 that before they nerf it into the ground, and any other weapons I haven't got around to

[sour meadow]

Zain's airburst is real fun

[arctic grove]

Can't worry about Nerfs, stick to HC. Core is for the sensitive.

[sour meadow]

2042 has hardcore?

[arctic grove]

Yea, in portal. Full xp lobbies

[sour meadow]

oh

[quaint vector]

Only in Portal tho

[sour meadow]

i don't fuck with portal

[royal trail]

portal 128player rush is awesome

[arctic grove]

Boo. It's fun.

[sour meadow]

i did when the game launched

infection was a hoot

was way better than the actual game lol

[arctic grove]

I usually go on portal to link up with HHC, NWO/BIA & AOD. Just a few great communities.

[arctic grove]

HHC runs infection every weekend.

[sour meadow]

i don't fuck with communities either

ever since getting banned by power-crazed bf4 admins

[teal aspen]

tried everyfix i could think of but slow motion bug is making game unplayable so have to wait itll its fixed

[arctic grove]

lol? On portal there's only 1 admin. & it's not cringe as BF4. Never had an issue, even when I sweep the board.

[sour meadow]

oh

guess i'll check it

[arctic grove]

Yea it's pretty chill in portal.

[sour meadow]

has anyone made a mode where it's just horde's of casper drones fighting eachother

like the lightshow from Megamind

[lilac dust]

It's weird to think that there will be a future battlefield game with more remade maps than 2042 had, despite this game having an entire mode where a large intention of it is to house older BF maps

[sour meadow]

huh?

[lilac dust]

Next multiplayer BF game will probably have more maps, and subsequently more remade maps, whereas this game was too busy reworking it's vanilla maps that they couldn't realize their vision with portal

[sour meadow]

i'll believe it when i see it

[lilac dust]

The original post launch plans for this game were 2 new maps and 2 portal maps every season, but they scrapped it

[vital raft]

Question tho

[sour meadow]

idk if "scrapped" is the right word

[arctic grove]

It might come eventually, with the devs being spread out during covid Era, the game kind of went to shit. But it's slowly coming back from its grave. I never bothered getting a refund on my $100 pre-order. I knew it would be crap the first year, just like with any other Battlefield titles.

[vital raft]

Why’d dice just leave bfv so rapidly

[sour meadow]

"oh god 2042 is a mess we need to finish this now"

also bfv was kind of a failure so

[trim lance]

i cant start the game. failed with 32

CreateFile failed with 32

[sour meadow]

"fuck bfv. fuck battlefront 2. quick get Criterion in here."

"we gotta ship this game in like 7 months"

[vital raft]

I just felt like there was so much potential in both games

[sour meadow]

there was

[hearty flame]

dont forget

[sour meadow]

idk about bf2

[hearty flame]

lets throw out some fundamental things people like about bf games

[sour meadow]

not a star wars fan

[dapper river]

Camper's paradise. No-fucking-thanks.

[lilac dust]

I hope so. I just can't believe that after all these years there are still wayyyy too many people blindly preordering and giving up on the game the moment it sucks, and have no patience. It's very rare to have a multiplayer game be good on launch in this day and age, if more people could just accept that then these games would have longer life spans rather than the devs looking at it like "Ok so only a handful wanna stick with us in the long run, let's just release a new game, then realize that only a handful wanna stick with us for the long run when that game launches poorly and rinse and repeat"

[arctic grove]

What are you talking about? 😆 🤣

[sharp marten]

Reading that pcgamer articld kinda touched my heart man the devs definitely don’t get enough recognition for how good they’re doing

[hearty flame]

first impressions are important

[next onyx]

Don't think they'll be nerfing the damage of the railgun.

[dapper river]

Laughably low TTK causes people to play slow, pre-aim every possible entrance/route, hide in bushes, snipe, it ain't fun by any means

[arctic grove]

Thank god.

[next onyx]

Battlefield hardcore never really flowed well. Game was built around core first and foremost.

[lilac dust]

Yes but by today's standards only single player only games release near perfect right out of the gate. We won't talk about that 2077 game tho.

[arctic grove]

That's how BC2, BF3, BF4, BF1, BF5 was. Lmao

[next onyx]

More skill actually aiming your fucking gun than killing them in minuscule shots.

[hearty flame]

i hate that people have just gotten used to shit launches, buy it and just go ya ya just wait

[next onyx]

We need a decently launched game.

[arctic grove]

True. I just like more realistic gameplay, bullet drop, player speed, i.e.

[frosty flint]

Return to castle wolfenstein launched decently iirc

Was there any after that? 😂

[hearty flame]

elden ring launched decently

[arctic grove]

Still not happy with the GOL Scope glitch though. Annoying asf.

[sharp marten]

No metro >:|

[next onyx]

Rtcw is a very old game.

Good game but old.

[slow tulip]

Cod mw2 decently launched

[frosty flint]

old but gold amirite

[slow tulip]

Cod mw2 is 20 times better than bf2042

[shell ermine]

So did God of War Ragnarok (perfectly even).

But I guess that's kinda unfair since Sony games are almost always of the highest quality and quality control

[slow tulip]

It's not a live service like bf2042

[shell ermine]

Neither is Elden Ring

[hearty flame]

that shouldnt affect launch quality lol

[shell ermine]

Exactly

[slow tulip]

Cyberpunk's launch wasn't decent but still made a comeback

[shell ermine]

The UI is still major ass and frankly they ruined Ground War

No it didn't

Its still ass

Don't believe the lies

[slow tulip]

Has campaign

[hearty flame]

i hate how the UI in almost every game is the same boxy shit

its mobile shit

[sharp marten]

Yeah no dices old leadership wasn’t it tbh

[hearty flame]

sure its readable but its so uninspired

[shell ermine]

Apparently the UI for Warzone Mobile is identical to MW2

[slow tulip]

Respawn makes better games than DICE

[quiet shell]

What makes you say that?

[chilly jacinth]

it's not even close to mobile UI for this game

[shell ermine]

Christ defending on BT/Rush is just fucking awful

[lilac dust]

https://clips.twitch.tv/UgliestPrettiestSamosaKlappa-xznNHu8c54sHveYa Lemme bless you all with an epic clip of 2042

[dense sail]

what is the recoil on that thing

[arctic grove]

Barely nothing.

[dapper river]

Respawn doesn't make games anymore

[dense sail]

I gotta try that again once more

[lilac dust]

It's the 6X scope so I would expect to see a little bit of recoil lol

[slow tulip]

Who is making Jedi survivor?

[dapper river]

nobody cuz it doesnt exist

have u seen gameplay??

thought so

[gloomy wyvern]

Polygons*

[chilly jacinth]

Respawn is an Apex slave

[limber meadow]

yay, keep getting kicked back to the main menu

[chilly jacinth]

they can't make anything else anymore

[slow tulip]

Looks like a sequel to Jedi fallen order

[dapper river]

no it's ok they have a small team of bout 10 that is allowed to venture out and occasionally do preproduction work on Jedi Survivor, then it's right back to the cosmetics mines

[drowsy shuttle]

Dice just confirmed a season 5? how about that...

[slow tulip]

Dice made bf2042 and it was good right?

Or let's go a couple of years back and talk about battlefront 2 controversy

[gloomy wyvern]

Disconnect your router from power for 15sec and let it reboot after.

Disconnect the system from power for 30sec.

Should fix

What I do to solve it

[chilly jacinth]

its good now

[limber meadow]

I'll try this if it happens again

[slow tulip]

Which was a bigger success battlefront 2 or Jedi fallen order?

[gloomy wyvern]

Mario

[chilly jacinth]

i don't have the sales numbers

but i dont understand your point

[gloomy wyvern]

My point is, Nintendo is better

[dapper river]

Battlefront 2 (2017) is le heckin classic and iconic wdym? reddit told me so

[sharp marten]

Wasn’t one of the old leaders the dude in charge of candy crush?

[shell ermine]

JFO, it was actually a good game

[gloomy wyvern]

Google also says you have cancer....

[slow tulip]

Ah yes, I got a sense of pride and accomplishment

Hope ea/dice got too

[arctic grove]

hello, where is the server for battlefield 5?

[slow tulip]

Bf5 is better than bf2042

Bf1 is better than bf5

[lilac dust]

2042 is underrated

[quiet shell]

Yes, thats what I was talking about DICE's leadership being poor

[spiral folio]

Planes are way op in 5

[slow tulip]

That's the reason bf2042 lacks players?

[arctic grove]

i bought bfv on st eam, but game wont open, when I click play in st ema, and EA small window appears and disappears and game stil lwont open

[spiral folio]

And the AA is ass

[lilac dust]

Where did you hear it's lacking players?

[calm bison]

As a pilot I agree on the planes being OP but AA being ass

[gloomy wyvern]

Uninstall, reinstall

[slow tulip]

I see a lot less players than bf5 and bf1

[arctic grove]

ty

[calm bison]

The problem is the range

[gloomy wyvern]

They fixed the SOFLAM tho

[spiral folio]

In bf1 I'm fervently a plane hunter and bf5 not a chance

[lilac dust]

Well there is no way to see Xbox and Playstation numbers which before the free period today went live is at absolute minimum triple the steam numbers

[spiral folio]

Soflam
Bf5

Pick one

[calm bison]

Outside of AA tanks yeah AA placements on BFV can be rough

[dapper river]

BFV peak times are 6am - 7am pacific, curiously that correlates with primetime in St. Petersburg and Moscow. Curious indeed...

At its lowest times it has less than 2042 at its lowest

[gloomy wyvern]

Bf2042

[spiral folio]

Yea i said bf5

Because i meant bf5

Since he brought up bf5

Bf5

[gloomy wyvern]

I said bf2042 needs a mortar squad but no one agrees😔

[dapper river]

Oh right there is no such game as BF5, silly me

[spiral folio]

Lis rocket is mortar improved

[fickle coral]

hi. why are there less vehicles in game overall now?
when i played in launch used to be 4 tanks per team

[gloomy wyvern]

Na, not the same

[slender hare]

GUYS have you seen the new BF BRIEFING? 😮

[spiral folio]

Boomerang the lis rocket

[gloomy wyvern]

Then I'll die ....

[spiral folio]

One trick. Launch 180 degrees, immelman the rocket look for a target

[lilac dust]

because they made some very poor balance changes based on feedback from people that wouldn't exist if Infantry conquest was a permanent AoW mode 😦

[spiral folio]

The distance gives you some reaction time

[slender hare]

I like your name

[lilac dust]

AYO

[gloomy wyvern]

Thx

[fickle coral]

will it stay that way

[gloomy wyvern]

Probably not 😔

[slender hare]

Roblox Natural Disaster have more weather events lmaoooo

[gloomy wyvern]

Minecraft better

[lilac dust]

[dapper river]

no but I checked their twitter and saw it just now lol, this dumb server hasn't posted it in #direct-communication so I forgor

[slender hare]

depends

[spiral folio]

I had an amazing lis rocket kill yesterday

I launched up at the roof on hourglass like almost straight up. Then hard 90 degree turn when i reached the roof BAM RIGHT IN HIS FACE

new map looks cool

[dapper river]

common DICE L 😔

[spiral folio]

It was like total coincidence he was there

[slender hare]

XD

[spiral folio]

Well id seen a sniper in the area but i was guessing

I hit him with like 5% fuel

[eternal storm]

When is next season out

[spiral folio]

S3 barely started

So "a while"

[fickle coral]

where is orbital and breakaway???"?

[slender hare]

I can't send pictures 😭

[lilac dust]

Use a third party picture site like gyazo to send pics

[royal trail]

dice already confirmed they're working on stuff reaching beyond season year 1

[slender hare]

what?

[royal trail]

thats reashuring

[slender hare]

yeah we know

[fickle coral]

where are the launch maps

oribital and breakaway

[topaz field]

what is this?

[lilac dust]

https://gyazo.com/17db57440b31ca24136664648466ff4a Like this

[slender hare]

oh ok thx

[royal trail]

steam only seem to sell ultimate edition and standard, wheres gold?

[slender hare]

or I can just copy image link, right?

[slender hare]

gone

saw that too

[royal trail]

i have gold myself

[slender hare]

what's the Gold edition? all the Battlepasses?

[royal trail]

ye battlepass, some skins and the game

[slender hare]

ok

[royal trail]

ultimate is the same but with more skins

[slender hare]

and the concept art thing

[lilac dust]

Type Gyazo into your computer search bar then you can drag the gyazo box over what you want to capture and when you let go it'll appear as a link in a new tab for you. You may need to download it first if you don't have it

[shell ermine]

Man if the season 5 battlepass isn't free for Gold/Ult owners its going to be a massive pr blunder

[spiral folio]

Why would it be

[slender hare]

ok thank you 😁 👍

[dapper river]

Manifest and Breakaway reworks are coming in 3.1 and 3.2 respectively, but DICE used the season 4 graphic

[wintry parrot]

Why would it be free yeah

[lilac dust]

👍

[slender hare]

but 100% it's gonna be year 2 pass

god BF1 & V soundtrack are FIRE 🔥

[topaz field]

oh...

[frosty mural]

season 5 map will be Gulian Heights 100 percent

or lancang dam

[lilac dust]

I dunno about that. I mean if people don't save their coins from the previous battlepasses that's kinda on them.

[slender hare]

I didn't play BF4 😭 , what is that map?

[sharp marten]

That’s what I was talking about as well

[frosty mural]

can't post photos here

[slender hare]

for a second I though you were the real Alexia C. 😅

[lilac dust]

I did too when I first saw the name lol

[sharp marten]

Naw the reason it lacks players because people are mad 2042 had a bad launch and don’t want to give it a second chance

[slender hare]

yeah, first impressions are EVERYTHING

[slow tulip]

Fair, steam still has the old reviews

[shell ermine]

Games don't deserve second chances.

[lilac dust]

Use Gyazo

[shell ermine]

There is just too much out there to be mad that people move on

[slow tulip]

Cyberpunk got a 2nd chance. It made the game successful

[shell ermine]

I don't blame a single person for not giving 2042 a second look

[shell ermine]

Unfortunately

Its still an ass rpg

[slow tulip]

Way better than playing battlefield 2042

[sharp marten]

That’s why nms got a second chance and now it’s fucking awesome

[spiral folio]

Successful is a strong word

[dapper river]

it's literally advertised as "4 Battle Passes (1 per Season)", which means the first 4 seasons, which means there is no 5th season included in that

But if you don't already have the boins and you've been spending them like a moron, well...

https://tenor.com/view/jeremy-clarkson-laughing-laughing-hysterically-at-you-bahaha-gif-19955692

[spiral folio]

Did cyberpunk turn a profit?

[sharp marten]

You can be bitter about 2042’s launch all you want but to deny that the game is good now is just childish

[shell ermine]

We shouldn't need to give games second chances, they should just release in a good place to begin with

[slow tulip]

Sold a lot more after the anime came out

[shell ermine]

I can 100% deny its a good Battlefield game right now

[dapper river]

https://tenor.com/view/so-true-gif-24068595

[sharp marten]

And to say games don’t deserve second chances is just stupid

[steep crater]

If they've had to make an anime there isn't much chance

[shell ermine]

They don't, you launch broken at full price and you've made your bed.

[spiral folio]

With continuous development being the new MO... its fine to wait til a game is "fully released"

[shell ermine]

They deserve nothing

[slender hare]

still a lot of things missing, but yeah it looks fun

||so I bought it last weekend, curious to give it a chance when I will have time||

[shell ermine]

They have to earn it

[sharp marten]

Oh I’m sorry I forgot you were triple a dev my bad

[slow tulip]

Playing single player games are better than playing ea's live services

[shell ermine]

The barrier for earning a second chance is different for everyone and it's not your place to be mad at someone else for where they place that barrier

[sharp marten]

Dudes just mad to be mad

[dapper river]

https://tenor.com/view/fedora-typing-neckbeard-redditor-fat-gif-22942717

[sharp marten]

💀

[slow tulip]

Fine bf2042 is better but lacks players compared to it's predecessors like bf5 and bf1

[sharp marten]

Bf1 is mid tried playing it couldn’t get into it

[slow tulip]

Checkout steam charts or check the match browser

[sharp marten]

5 is decent I fucks with 5

[slow tulip]

5 is recent

[spiral folio]

Steam chart charts steam

[slender hare]

what?

[spiral folio]

I use the old origin launch because i dont want steam to update every time

[dapper river]

they really did make the coolest art for the worst mode, didn't they?

[spiral folio]

So I wouldn'tbe included in steams metrics

[slow tulip]

Checkout steam's most played titles you won't find bf2042 but will find bf5 and bf1

[spiral folio]

Anyone who uses origins launcher wont be in steams steam charts... since steam charts chart steam.

[slow tulip]

Bf2042's destruction system seems downgraded which is a key part of battlefield

[slender hare]

sadly 😔

well ngl the arts thing for BF2042 are really cool

[dapper river]

you know what game isn't on there right now?

[slender hare]

wait it's still on sale?

[spiral folio]

My mom!

[slender hare]

I though the sales were finishing on nov 29th

[dapper river]

yep, looks like the trial period also extended the autumn sale for 2042, probably was the plan

[slow tulip]

Battlefield 5 isn't there

Fine cause the free weekend started

[still hamlet]

Not sure why this server isn't 1:1 with Twitter posts. This shows me that Discord isn't the best place to get all of my Battlefield News. SMH 🤦🏼‍♂️

[slender hare]

that's cool, I think it's a good idea to increase the player base ngl

[spiral folio]

[still hamlet]

New Boris Skin from Prime Gaming

https://gaming.amazon.com/loot/battlefield2042?ingress=amzn&ref_=SM_B42S01_P11_CRWN

[slender hare]

hmm

[spiral folio]

I want more skins that are 100% body cover

[still hamlet]

If I'm guessing that's the last skin from Prime Gaming for 2042. Time to cancel my Amazon membership.

[slender hare]

same 😭

||cough cough bots skins||

[dapper river]

Mackay has the US Assault AI helmet now, which doesn't really make sense if you're playing on RU but baby steps I guess

[still hamlet]

What map from Battlefield 4 do you think they are bringing back for Season 5 that talked about in the blog post? Sounds like it's the community map we helped shape for BF4 from the community feedback.

[slender hare]

[dapper river]

I bought the deluxe edition on launch

[still hamlet]

And a few days later your ISP send you a letter in the mail your account has been flagged and will be oppressed if you continue your actions.

[static oxide]

Hey guys.

[spark rapids]

Theres gonna be a season 5

Hype

[eager spire]

if that happened then i'm using a shit VPN and frankly i deserve that

[static oxide]

I just installed the game and when I get in, My game is just looking at the sky, doing circles, can't move it or anything.

[uneven yew]

Guys

I need help

[still hamlet]

It always sucks to be early adopters. Because it always gets discounted after launch or given away in some membership bundle.

[uneven yew]

I need to complete an extraction in the HAZARD ZONE without anyone in the squad dying

3 brave warriors qualify? xD

[still hamlet]

Me too. I wish we could join a server without anyone shooting at anyone. Would make sense to complete your progress for everyone

I'm on PS5

[uneven yew]

This is a good ideia

I'm on Xbox Series

[still hamlet]

We just need 32 players I believe launch at the same time. Would make it worth playing. Beating the system. No Kill Hazard Zone.

[still hamlet]

We could add each other through EA thingy I believe

[uneven yew]

In fact we only need 16 to start the game

[uneven yew]

Yeah, we can

[still hamlet]

Even better

[hazy bough]

[slow tulip]

L battlefield 2042

[still hamlet]

I'm not on social media but I'm sure we can get 16 players to follow suit by not killing anyone in Hazard Zone. I need to collect 50 data drives and no die and all the rest of Hazard Zone achievement's

[uneven yew]

Getting 16 people is easy. The problem is

[still hamlet]

Anyone down for not killing anyone in Hazard Zone to complete all your achievements and collect 50 data drives?

[uneven yew]

How are we going to get everyone in the same lobby?

[low timber]

83 kills and I’ll have my SWS-10 in T1

[static oxide]

Anyone got an idea?

[still hamlet]

Did you restart the game?

[static oxide]

Yes.

[uneven yew]

Im going to the gym. We talk later

I think we can get it today

[static oxide]

Verified my files and deleted the Battlefield 2042 folder in the Docs folder.

[still hamlet]

Search for "Skater_Ricky" in Invitations in Social. I'm on PlayStation 5.

[still hamlet]

I'll post this in #hazard-zone server

[static oxide]

Anyone know what to do about the mouse issue?

[foggy halo]

Try to delete the settings folder and launch the game

[static oxide]

Okay

[foggy halo]

And if it doesn't work and you use origin, repair install the game

I hope it will fix it for u

[static oxide]

Okay

Thank you.

[static oxide]

I use Steam, but have already tried verifying.

Hopefully deleting will work.

Eh.. Doesn't work.

[foggy halo]

:( I would try googling it

Then try EA support if there's no solution

That's a weird problem, never heard of that specific problem sorry

[chilly jacinth]

do you have a controller plugged in?

[static oxide]

No.

Only Mouse & KB.

[tardy tree]

i cant wait to see if they announce a full year 2

that would be dream come true

[lilac dust]

[drowsy olive]

So I'm trying to play BF2042 because it was free. I have it downloaded on steam but everytime i try to open it, it brings me to Origin and tells me I don't own the game so I cannot play it

[mossy badge]

If they will announce new battlefield game i will be happy

[chilly jacinth]

log in to origin

[drowsy olive]

I am logged in

[chilly jacinth]

well shit

[drowsy olive]

Do I have to link my account or something?

[chilly jacinth]

maybe

doesnt hurt to try

[drowsy olive]

How though?

[tardy tree]

i dunno man

if they make 2042 live up to its roots then i dont think they should for a while

[atomic musk]

Um… I thought 2042 was going to be free today, it’s still showing a price

[chilly jacinth]

login to their website

[atomic musk]

Oh it is nvm

[mossy badge]

Those who like 2042 good for them but i think i will have to wait alot for next battlefield game 👍

[arctic grove]

Next year

[dense sail]

https://outplayed.tv/media/jWXR6O
I swear this wasn't my intention

it kind of just

slid

[umbral vigil]

Do you guys think they'll add back in leaning

[dense sail]

didn't even know that was a thing

[atomic musk]

So the 2042 Xbox One edition could be ok, right?

[umbral vigil]

I wonder why most cover is perfectly sized so you can't look over to shoot without moving side to side rapidly

which sucks

well in lots of other battlefield games you could learn over/around cover

I miss bfv movement but I don't mind not being able to crawl on my back

But cover in this game is just weird

bipods are useless because you can't mount guns over crouch sized cover

or standing size cover

Take the Russian fobs on spearhead for example

The big sandbag blocks that act as cover at B

you can't actually aim down at the road where people are coming from

Because the blocks are too big

You'll just shoot the sandbag

[mossy badge]

[arctic grove]

Season 5 moment

[arctic grove]

Well said. That’s one of my complaints with the games movement.. I don’t want Y2 to just be content because I want them to continue adding gameplay changes and mechanics like more movement options

Leaning (that way I don’t have to keep exposing half of my character model for no good reason), climbing (would really work on Manifest), crouch running, etc

[spiral folio]

Have you seen a fob before? Its intentional

[arctic grove]

Plot twist: Y2 is purely cosmetics

[arctic grove]

[arctic grove]

What is intentional?

[spiral folio]

Making walls high enough you cant just shoot over em

Namely so that people cant as easily just look in partially

[arctic grove]

Yes but you can’t peek over a wall taller than yourself either

[spiral folio]

Often theyre taller though

[arctic grove]

Unless you have objects stacked up against that wall

[spiral folio]

Like 3 high

Implying maybe these are hastily erected defenses

[arctic grove]

What we mean is objects like the sandbags that are just tall enough to cover you if you prone or crouch, and we want an option that allows you to peek over them and still aim, like most other BFs have

I say most because it’s not like I have a list or remember doing it in each and every single one

[glass shard]

came back to 2042, and it is way more fun than it was at launch

[spiral folio]

Well one method is like a 2x2 tall wall then a 1x tall on top of it for defenses

[frank stratus]

I felt the launch was better

[arctic grove]

Game just launched what do u mean? We were all playing the Alpha and Beta up to S3

[frank stratus]

And no

[arctic grove]

Beta had a couple different quirks about it

I remember dodging AAMs or SAMs with helis, the tornado path was tracked on the map, hovercraft climbing, etc

[royal swan]

Ooooooh my god they increased the hipfire on the shotgun mcs880

YESSSS

[arctic grove]

Like literally dodging AAMs, could you imagine if that still existed, take the risk and save some flares especially if you’re in an air fight, or don’t? The choice is yours

[spiral folio]

AAM = army achievement medal
Usually a good thing :v

[arctic grove]

But it could piss people off since a system like that uses RNG

[fossil trench]

Why is everyone good with Lis rockets

🙃

[arctic grove]

[spiral folio]

A well timed boost is useful for hitting with lis

[royal swan]

Bro the msc880 is usable now

It's a better shotgun

[fossil trench]

Even moving super erratically to avoid Lis rockets only works like 50% of the time

Stealth heli meta? Hahahaha

[royal swan]

Tho the damage may need to be increased slightly

[spiral folio]

My main goal with lis is to make helos so miserable theyll stop using it

[arctic grove]

I can’t aim so I was a 12m auto kinda guy

I like bf1 shotguns though

[glass shard]

when will the hellriegel be added to 2042

[arctic grove]

In approximately 3 minutes

[glass shard]

and the martini henry

[glass shard]

[arctic grove]

That’s the WW1 NTW

[fossil trench]

AT rifle

[lime torrent]

ngl I've never used learning in any game

doesn't ever seem useful

[spiral folio]

Tankgewehr makes the ntw look like a bitch

[arctic grove]

Okay yeah true bf1 has its own at rifle lol

Jokes aside the martini was strong as shit

[lime torrent]

the martini was incredible

[arctic grove]

It’s best in BFV where the system is manual. It’s why I also like 2042s bipod system which also makes them manual. They don’t belong on systems the game uses for you

[topaz field]

Damn I wish 2042 would be like apex legends. Just QOL updates new maps weapons until 2024

[arctic grove]

Yeah 2024 for 2042 could be a nice bunch of content if they pushed it that far

Gib 2042 content until exactly 7 days before bf2024/25 drops

[umbral vigil]

I was just using it as an example, you also can't use railings, fences, concrete road partitions

you can't use them as places to put a bipod

[spiral folio]

I mean you the use the ones on kaleidoscope

[umbral vigil]

You can't hide behind stuff and lean over to deploy a bipod or something is too small to use for a bipod

[arctic grove]

With all the cover being added in the reworks I don’t see why they can’t add those things

[sharp marten]

[royal swan]

Yeah the msc880 got a hipfire/spread fix. It's much bigger

[umbral vigil]

They just need to resize half the cover slightly

[royal swan]

Now it's a normal shotgun

With a slow fire rate and reload

[umbral vigil]

Both shotguns got a big nerf I think

[royal swan]

No

[spiral folio]

The things they're based on are that height

[royal swan]

They just got less pellets but more damage

[umbral vigil]

The spread got really big for both

[royal swan]

And

The spread on the msc880 was terrible and small

[spiral folio]

And they're basically that height so 2 stacked more than covers a person

[royal swan]

This was basically a buff for it

The 12m was the one that got a nerf

[arctic grove]

They cover your character but you can’t bipod mount on them or peek aim over them in general

Which is the problem

[spiral folio]

Im not sure what they call the individual things. The big wire square sandbags. They fill em with gravel and rocks but that's just how big they are

[royal swan]

The mac880 now feels more comfortable to use than what it was used to be

[umbral vigil]

Yeah I called them blocks

[spiral folio]

In the image link i posted earlier they built lower areas from sandbags even

[umbral vigil]

Also minor thing but does the running animation kinda bother anyone else

[royal swan]

What's this talk about sandbags

[umbral vigil]

you bounce the weapon so fast that it looks like you're running 20 miles an hour

It's so much faster than the other games

Not the traversal sprint the normal sprint

Even with the lmgs they're bobbing all over the place like crazy

[strange crag]

Just saw the season 5 news. Just them going beyond season 4 is a shock to me. I fully expected them to only do the bare minimum to deliver promised content with the year 1 pass, and then abandon ship to work on something else

[arctic grove]

I know what you’re talking about

The running animation isn’t as fluid as previous games yeah

[arctic grove]

It’s all about how far along the next game is and how good the current one is doing

If 2042 was still just utter shit and being shit on yeah we probably wouldn’t have got anything else after S4. But now that the game is improving and we won’t be seeing any substantial news about the next BF for a while they probably got authorization to keep going

[strange crag]

True. I know with season 3 2042 has seen a slight increase in players on steam. Idk how steady the increase has been now that it’s been over a week, and i do think the game has improved in terms of content

[arctic grove]

Yea it has, I don’t really pay attention to the steam stats, but I feel like at least people are starting to understand that steam charts suggest trends more than an accurate representation of a game, unless the game is PC/Steam exclusive, then it’s different. But 2042 always had like, 2 other PC platforms and 2 console generations of playercount stats we don’t know about

Not to say the game was thriving for half of 2022 I doubt it

[strange crag]

Yeah I’ve personally never had problems finding full lobbies in conquest and breakthrough with crossplay on

[placid echo]

I was surprised to see talk of S5 so early

[pine roost]

Off though it simply won’t work

Which is annoying but oh well

[strange crag]

Probably wanted to just tell people they aren’t giving up quite yet

[arctic grove]

Same. I mean for a little bit I saw maybe the same 2-3 guys every now and then but that was it. I still found games

And same I mean I figured y2 news mid s4 but it’s nice to hear a little bit about it now

[topaz field]

Are you like 45 years old ?

[strange crag]

If Season 1 wasn’t delayed to June this year we would be in season 4 already tbh

[arctic grove]

Nope way younger why?

[topaz field]

Yes the map reworks

[topaz field]

Cuz you crying like a boomer 😫

[arctic grove]

[sharp marten]

[strange crag]

I’m 20 and i agree with @arctic grove their points

[sharp marten]

Arnt you crying that he’s crying

[spiral folio]

Dont boomers just bottle things up and stare into the void instead

[topaz field]

The game is fun y'all gotta just chill

[edgy oriole]

once it left xbox top played then we knew it was going downhill

[sharp marten]

Ways a boomer he’s like 60

[spiral folio]

Its the zoomers that are like "ahh i cant buy a snickers because they're out. This is oppression"

[strange crag]

[topaz field]

With year two content is good it's to keep past and future players interest peak

Trust

[indigo cave]

Ion want a new bf

[edgy oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/valentines-day-card-ion-nerd-gif-5028049

[arctic grove]

Yes I agree, I was just talking in general

About the whole era where people couldn’t stop talking about the steam charts

[still crescent]

If I get BF2042 in it's free play, will I keep it forever?

[arctic grove]

noh

[indigo cave]

No

[still crescent]

Big sad.

[arctic grove]

I would like a new BF that fulfills my larper dreams

Give me a Michael bay oriented campaign

And a ton of sof skins in the multiplayer

[indigo cave]

Add a dlc as campaign ez

[arctic grove]

I feel like that would just get the game shit on cuz “core feature of game 10 year ago paid haha ea”

[indigo cave]

Let's be honest here, no matter how much dice improves da game people are always gunna find something to whine about

There's no pleasing to be done

Smh

[pastel loom]

i prefer a full focus on multiplayer
it's too late for a campaign

[arctic grove]

That is true

[still crescent]

War stories wouldn't really work cuz uh. 2042 is too futuristic

and lore would be weird

[indigo cave]

The premise is neat

[still crescent]

From our time*

[arctic grove]

I don’t think it’s be that bad if it followed specific people maybe about their experiences with home and fighting or whatevs

That’s when the creative writers come out

[indigo cave]

I hope I'll live to see the day when battlefield absolutely shits on cod 🙏

[arctic grove]

I think what they should do is just fulfill the needs of the general 2042 feedback. Roll 128 players back, classes, voip, other basic shit at launch, no more specialists, more content, decent maps

Which I would hope isn’t, too much of an ask from them

[pastel loom]

the new dice can turn the series around
like how the new infinity ward did
mw19 and mwii look and sound absolutely epic

[indigo cave]

Seems like they're trying their best anyways

[arctic grove]

I loved the MW reboot

[arctic grove]

Yeah the game 2042 is getting better I just mean for the next one

[spiral folio]

BF1-2

[arctic grove]

wat

[spiral folio]

Sequel to bf1

[pastel loom]

if 1 stood for ww1
do you want an another ww2 game?

[spiral folio]

Nah it goes from 1918 to 1925 in an alternate timeline with no armistice

So weapons just get bigger and steampunkier

Both teams get behemoths at once sometime

Belgium is 100% trenches

[arctic grove]

That’s a cool idea

[pine roost]

Modern done right is all I want

2042 can become that

[arctic grove]

Same

Modern done right is my only ask for dice

[spiral folio]

2042 isnt modern its near future :v

[arctic grove]

Modern/near-future done right

[pine roost]

Something that I can play for years and still enjoy it

[arctic grove]

[spiral folio]

And getting further

2025 expansion for bf 2042 will be operation anchorage where they introduce power armor right?

[lament plank]

cool sure love how it just says get kills or ASSISTS with throwables, and yet a motion detector you THROW doesnt count. classic.

[spiral folio]

The motion detector does like 1 damage if it hits

[gloomy wyvern]

Super Mario 64
BattleTanx 64

Titles like that?

[lament plank]

And yet it doesn’t specify if it’s damage assists or spot assists or disrupt assists

[gloomy wyvern]

@pine roost what is flight assist?

[pine roost]

can you not use the Q menu in solo matches?

[chilly jacinth]

the what

[pine roost]

It's a setting that is currently bugged and forced on for all players, it makes your heli constantly roll when you don't want it to

[pine roost]

you know, the menu where you can request ammo

[chilly jacinth]

oh

dunno

[royal swan]

S5 won't have a specialist

So we have one more specialist to get and it's done after that

[pine roost]

I am now in love with the pbx

thank you way

[arctic grove]

No more specialists

[spiral folio]

The final specialist will be a combination of all

[arctic grove]

So maybe it will just be maps, skins and guns? I’m not sure

[dire quest]

Any reason the ai is still able to use the railgun tank even if you disable it in a vehicle superiority match?

[spiral folio]

Flies around with a wingshit but you cant shoot em down cause that damn shield

Keeps using the grapple to stay airborne

[arctic grove]

Because they do what they want

[dire quest]

Made a 128 player Ram superiority server yesterday and the ai kept spawning with the railgun tank lol

[royal swan]

L

[arctic grove]

Chad AI

[royal swan]

Add mortars

If we are getting air strikes then it's a no brainier to add another stupid item

[arctic grove]

The only thing that concerns me with air strikes is them in BT

Just like sector artillery and v1s holy fook man

[royal swan]

You get them via teamwork

With your squad

[arctic grove]

Hmm that seems a little bit better

[royal swan]

It's like bfv but you do contracts instead, like get an objective in this amount of time

Then you get enough points or something

To get a op weapon or the airstrike

[dapper river]

Nooo dice you're not supposed to use the actual name of the gun irl 💀

[royal swan]

Dice you fucked up

[eager spire]

that is a very mid skin though

[royal swan]

Going to try the msc880 more after the spread fix

[arctic grove]

I think the actual name is mcx spear

[royal swan]

I'm still baffled on Danny's stupid rant over squad contracts

[arctic grove]

My god when are those gonna be on the civilian market

[spiral folio]

It'll be renamed the KVLLK-1V25

[royal swan]

Literally hurts my brain

[arctic grove]

I might like the mcx spear more than the ar15

[eager spire]

?

[royal swan]

DannyonPC hates the idea of squad contracts

[eager spire]

okay what are squad contracts

[royal swan]

You and your squad do squad missions for points

[arctic grove]

Wasn’t Danny saying something about sector artillery spam

[royal swan]

The points go into getting a weapon pickup or a airstrike

[eager spire]

hm

[royal swan]

Like bfv with extra steps

[eager spire]

yeah i was about to say that sounds like BFV but complicated slightly for no good reason

[royal swan]

Temporyal leak this

[eager spire]

and personally I don't see a reason to put it in the game, not at this point.

[royal swan]

Missions are like take an objective in this amount of time

So I'm guessing they aren't that easy

Easy to cheese I mean

[dapper river]

Might make conquest worth playing

[arctic grove]

Fuck

Another CQC map for S4

[eager spire]

that just sounds tedious and annoying compared to how BFV worked. why not just do it how BFV did it, and why did they not decide if they were gonna do this before the game came out?

[dapper river]

because the game needed another year but managment was like "yeah nah"

[royal swan]

Yeah maybe make it more friendly to dumbasses but it's not that bad

[eager spire]

eh

seems like another thing that should've been left to the next game. Genuinely not worth trying to shove it in over a year into this game's life.

[arctic grove]

It’s not that bad since the BFV system just allowed you to stack your points and sector artillery spam the shit out of the enemy team

[eager spire]

maybe that's why they removed it

[royal swan]

The rant that Danny did was about people getting an advantage over others

[arctic grove]

I think it’s why they made it so teamplay oriented here

[arctic grove]

Oh then I dunno

[royal swan]

Which in a teamwork skill game is stupid to even argue about

[eager spire]

I don't watch Danny.

so i don't know what he said.

[royal swan]

Ok

[arctic grove]

What would be better, the game in its state is worth branching out to more than emergency repair now

[eager spire]

That being said, I feel like people overstate how "teamwork oriented" Battlefield is on a typical everyday basis.

[royal swan]

I rather not watch his shit, he gets very bias

[arctic grove]

I’m not entirely against aspects that promote a bit of teamplay for nice gameplay benefits

Most of the games life up till around 6 months ago was damage control. It was temporyal or someone else who said this game had a lot more planned for it that got scrapped for the game being so bad at first

Now that the game is better I’d argue it’s time they really get back to what they planned on doing with it, I see this as one of those things

[royal swan]

The msc880 has a bigger spread, the cross hair for it has doubled. So it's now a normal shotgun but the damage and range makes it a slower TTK than the smg at close medium ranges

[eager spire]

Maybe. I still think claymores should be scrapped though.

[toxic wigeon]

Wasn’t a lot of it for hazard zone though

[royal swan]

Also the rate of fire is slow enough to get you killed

[toxic wigeon]

I thought they wanted hazard zone to be the next thing

[eager spire]

Just get rid of them. The game went a year without them and didn't die, so the game can just not have claymores.

[arctic grove]

No, hazard zone and portal pretty much got put on the afterburners indefinitely

[toxic wigeon]

Oh I know

[spiral folio]

Back burner?

[arctic grove]

This analogy is kinda harmful tho

[toxic wigeon]

But I thought before launch they wanted to hazard zone to be expanded more

[eager spire]

i don't think so.

[toxic wigeon]

And have stories

[arctic grove]

It’s harmful to non critical features and even the content

[spiral folio]

Afterburner woukd be accelerating it tremendously

Back burner is forgetting about it

[dire quest]

Would anyone be interested in a 128 player Ram superiority server? Rams only, no infantry? P.S. the ai can spawn the railgun tank

[royal swan]

It's bf3 claymores they only detonate when you go a specific speed

[eager spire]

I don't think having claymores in the game benefits the game at all.

[arctic grove]

Back burner ye sorry

[arctic grove]

It’s not a massive thing but it’s a little bit more content

[royal swan]

Claymores won't kill the game

[arctic grove]

I mean that logic can also apply to so many more things than claymores

[eager spire]

it's an annoyance. it will be an annoyance, especially considering people have gotten used to playing the game for a year without them.

[royal swan]

It wouldn't even deal a dent

[pine roost]

It’s only really going to lead to moments of frustration

[spiral folio]

I liked when idiots placed claymores right where they were sniping. Shoot thr claymore. Kills the trap layer

[eager spire]

It would be a good idea to minimize frustration, which would involve scrapping claymores.

[spiral folio]

Did bf5 have ground traps?

Bf1 did

[arctic grove]

I mean they aren’t really that frustrating. They’ve been in the past 5+ games

[eager spire]

i think they had bouncing betties

[pine roost]

Yes, and they were painful

[royal swan]

If community can handle stealth helis despite hating everything about it and the user I think we can handle funny stationary explosive that are detonated by the goofy ah walk

[eager spire]

speak for yourself they were annoying as shit.

[arctic grove]

Yeah BFV has a tripwire mine to my awareness. BF1 has trip mines, hardline has a trip mine, 3/4 claymores

[low timber]

Only anti personnel mine I hated was the BFV S-mine as they were so small that made them hard to see

[spiral folio]

So traps have been in "all bf games" by the logic of people who defend classes. Anything that has always been in the game series is good

[low timber]

Then they added a trip wire to the S-mine

[royal swan]

Zanth we are not arguing about classes again

[arctic grove]

Something that has always been in the games surely has not been annoying enough to warrant exclusion and have support against re-adding it

[royal swan]

It's claymores today

[spiral folio]

Well traps have been a TrADiTiOn its wwhat defiiines battlefield

[eager spire]

genuinely, the only people that stand to benefit from claymores being added are fucking rats. the lowest tier. the bottom of the barrel.

Fuck 'em.

[royal swan]

It's a fucking equipment, it's a simple explosive that detonates viea movement

[arctic grove]

I mean I don’t really give a shit about claymores, my point is I think it’s a little bit harmful to say the squad thing is unnecessary since it’s been a year, and claymores aren’t necessary since it’s been a year, that logic can be harmful to content and the gameplay experience

[royal swan]

You can see the fucking lazers

[wintry parrot]

Counterargumant: Claymore funny

[royal swan]

Be more observant

[spiral folio]

Yea i remember in p4f to clear mines out of "the usual spots" id lob a grenade around a corner

Or look and shoot it

[royal swan]

Dealing with claymores is an absolute skill issue

[arctic grove]

Claymores only have very large wires in front of them

[wintry parrot]

I definitely hope they make the laser a little more visible, especially when they're at the top of stairs and such

[spiral folio]

It's rare to find "any war game" without traps

[royal swan]

You wouldn't died if you were more observant

[wintry parrot]

Iunno, maybe they could beep occasionally to give their presence up

[eager spire]

sounds like a clear opening for someone to peak the corner right as you do that and kill you cause you don't have your gun up.

[arctic grove]

That would be a very unlucky situation though

[low timber]

And I’ve said many, many, many times the claymore coming from portal explodes only if you:
run past it
fast walk past it
(Slow walking won’t trigger it)
Destroy it.

[spiral folio]

Nah cause i spin around 500 times per minute

So i know everything around me

[arctic grove]

I doubt someone will be listening for someone to pull a grenade pin

[slender hare]

I bought the standard edition one year after launch

[spiral folio]

Well another trick was to set off the trap by shooting it. Then wait for the trap setter to check it out. Pop em off

[eager spire]

i mean if i saw a grenade bouncing off of a corner in front of a claymore i put down, i would only assume that there is at least one guy outside of it waiting for that nade to go off. They wouldn't expect anyone to push them from the area they tossed a grenade in.

[slender hare]

btw guys can I get the stealth helis from S1 or they were limited?

[spiral folio]

And/or set your own trap

[eager spire]

That's unreliable, cause that often results in you damaging yourself.

[arctic grove]

I’ll just clarify again I’m not a supporter against or even for claymores in AOW. My problem is implying that because it hasn’t been in the game up till this point, it’s unnecessary. How does a game with a clear lack of content even bring anything new then? People want a squad management system and the squad assignments thing is a great way to implement that

[royal swan]

Any content from a past season is unlocked via missions

[slender hare]

oh ok

[arctic grove]

People want gadgets. There isn’t that much in this game. The claymore is one more option for that

[slender hare]

that's nice

[spiral folio]

Bullets typically travel great distances through the air

[slender hare]

what is claymore again?

||also I like your name :D||

[royal swan]

No I didn't

[eager spire]

"People want a squad management system and the squad assignments thing is a great way to implement that" i have a question with this, and that question is why the fuck would squad assignments be necessary to allow a squad management system to happen? I assumed the squad management system would mean being able to pick what fucking squad you wanna be in?

[royal swan]

I'm a dumbass who quick scan a comment

[spiral folio]

Id be happy with "leave squad of assholes"

[eager spire]

yeah but you're not gonna be able to get an angle on a claymore from very far if someone knows what they're doing

[spiral folio]

Even if it randomly assigned me to another

Then throw a grenade on those

Or go around

[arctic grove]

I typically see the squad management and squad call ins mentioned together. The assignment thing as Henry speculates is a good way to add a squad management system in, maybe even to the point of allowing you to choose a squad manually

[spiral folio]

People make choices

[dapper river]

Stupid ass deployable directional anti-personnel mine that makes combat not fun

[eager spire]

Allowing you to choose a squad manually should've been in the fucking game at launch.

[arctic grove]

Now is it confirmed a squad management system will come alongside it? No, but hell, if they’re gonna make incentives to play with your squad they probably plan on it

[arctic grove]

Yes. But that’s a bit different from what I’m saying, although I agree

[spiral folio]

I remember this training event i played am op-for. Somebody "got clever" and broke the wargame rules and set a pretend tripline.

[royal swan]

Not fun if you are a blind mf who likes to run 24/7

[slender hare]

it's that toxic?

[royal swan]

Nah

[eager spire]

It's annoying as shit.

[arctic grove]

A good idea for a 2042 claymore is a bright red laser or tripwire

Make it actually visible

[royal swan]

Toxic is stealth helis on the sky box

[eager spire]

Especially in Hardline, where people often did the whole "put the tripwire at the top of a ladder so you can't do shit about that" bit.

[spiral folio]

So like they paused the training and brought us in saying "ok guys no traps even fake ones. If we saw one of these out in a real engagement. We'd probably rake the .50cal across the 2nd floor or drop a bomb on the house"

[arctic grove]

Although I think it’s already been confirmed the BF3 claymore is coming

I might be wrong

[royal swan]

Toxic for a claymores is placing it at a ladder

[spiral folio]

So there are "alternatives" to engaging the trap directly

[dapper river]

Claymores in Battlefield don't have red lasers or flashing lights, so excuse me if I didn't immediately register the weird tan rock hidden in a pile of bodes in a doorway as "lethal"

[royal swan]

And continuing to place it there

[royal swan]

Didn't the claymores in 2042 portal have lasers

The bf3 ones

[dapper river]

idk I never used them

[royal swan]

The one where it is only detonated by a run

[mossy charm]

why don't they have bf4 in portal

or bf1

[spiral folio]

In bf p4f they were just little green things they werent invisible

[arctic grove]

Because BF4 isn’t that much different than BF3 to be honest

[eager spire]

they sure didn't have lasers in BF3

[mossy charm]

but what about bf1

[arctic grove]

I mean sure add it. But a lot of the things stay the same

BF1 would take a lot of time

[spiral folio]

Bf1 had triplines gallore

[arctic grove]

They wanna focus on AOW unfortunately

[mossy charm]

fuck is AOW

[dapper river]

Too similar to BF3
And BF1, while not in 2042 portal, has re-used assets like houses on the Battle of the Bulge remake.

[arctic grove]

The main game mode

[royal swan]

The tripwires are easy to see

In bf1

[eager spire]

BF1 tripwires were not that bad.

They don't absolutely annoy the fuck out of me like various other things in BF1.

[mossy charm]

dice should remaster BF4

[spiral folio]

Yea triplines in bf1 were the brown thing different from the brown stuff everywhere

[mossy charm]

in 2022 hraphics

[eager spire]

i donno, speak for yourself, i could see 'em fine most of the time.

[spiral folio]

The bouncing betties in bf5 were basicslly invisible

[royal swan]

They are more easy to see than a bouncing betty

[spiral folio]

You could manipulate the tripline in bf1 to where the line was basically not visible

[royal swan]

No

[eager spire]

well nobody i played with was ever smart enough to do that i guess

[spiral folio]

They autonatically generated the line but depending on how it was placed you could mess with that generation

[royal swan]

I always see the wire 80% of the time, the rest is when there was smoke or I wasn't completely observant

Or it was on a ladder

[spiral folio]

They were more visible

[royal swan]

They are so easy to see that it's a skill issue if you have a serious problem with the tripwires

[spiral folio]

How is 2042 not a remaster of
"Yet another modern shooter"

[eager spire]

Point is: Nobody needs these traps. Them not being in 2042 was an improvement. Keep it that way.

[spiral folio]

Well since all bf games have them. Theyre by definition good and necessary

[mossy charm]

bf2042 should have had a campaign

[sharp marten]

Merry chrimmis : )

[eager spire]

2042 didn't have them and that was an improvement.

[royal swan]

Stop comparing the equipment to a structure of the bf franchise

[spiral folio]

2042 also didnt have classes and that was an improvement

[eager spire]

Much like how BFV didn't have suppression and that was an improvement.

[royal swan]

It's not going to benefit your argument that classes are bad

[eager spire]

Or BF4 removed visual recoil and that was an improvement.

[sharp marten]

Naw 2042 definitely need some anti infantry traps

[spiral folio]

Gotta revert to the past
Samurai jack

[royal swan]

Yes and mortars

[sharp marten]

Yes and mortars

[spiral folio]

Wusha

[mossy charm]

2042 needed a nuke killstreak

[sharp marten]

No

[mossy charm]

yes

[royal swan]

Mortars, imo I love them but are more annoying than claymores

[spiral folio]

Nah they ran out of nukes by 2042

[sharp marten]

If you can’t kill a stationary target it’s literally a skill issue

[eager spire]

Mortars are objectively worse than Claymores and have even less of a reason to exist.

[royal swan]

Getting killed by a claymores is 80% your fault, but getting killed by a mortar, you had no power in that

[sharp marten]

They actually have a very significant reason to be in bf

[royal swan]

But I still love them and would happily have them in the game

[eager spire]

the amount of times i've gotten killed off ladders in Hardline cause some fucking dickhead put a tripwire up there that i literally couldn't do anything about would like to have a word with you about that

[royal swan]

It would also take the heat off of claymores

When mortars are added

This is a IF

Big if

[royal swan]

Oh yeah the ladder thing, that's mostly toxic, that's why I said 80%

[eager spire]

i donno mortars are cringe and don't need to be added to the game at all.

[royal swan]

20% is the toxic broken spots to place claymores

Idk, I haven't been killed by raining bombs lately, other than stealth helis

[eager spire]

they are just generally annoying and only serve to protect rats that can't be bothered to check their own corners.

[sharp marten]

Anything you don’t like doesn’t need to be added to the game I guess

[royal swan]

It's anything that can get kills faster than a lone wolf strategy

[wide shore]

Oh boy. A reimagined BF4 map.

[royal swan]

💀🫵

Loser

[eager spire]

i heard it's gonna be metro again.

[royal swan]

Imagine it's metro

[eager spire]

OF FUCKING COURSE IT'S METRO AGAIN

APPARENTLY NO OTHER BF MAPS EXIST FROM BF3 THAT COULD BE WORTH REMAKING

[sharp marten]

God I hope it is

[eager spire]

NO JUST REMAKE METRO AGAIN

[slender isle]

Go to sleep and wake up to a metro style map, S5 confirmed, S5 map being a bf4 map and a fuck ton more

[sharp marten]

Homie is literally shitting themselves

[slender isle]

It looks to be something you can drive through, like with a truck or something, so probably not metro

[sharp marten]

Bros mad metro is a fan favorite

[royal swan]

If you going on the image of a new map that's season 4

[eager spire]

it technically did? not in any way that mattered

[slender isle]

What else am I going off lmao? It obviously doesn't have vehicles, but metro also didn't have tunnels like that

[royal swan]

That's season 4 map

[subtle charm]

HOLA

[slender isle]

S5 map is clearly a larger, not city based map

[royal swan]

Yet another infantry based map for season 4

[slender isle]

something like zavod or last stand map

[royal swan]

Golmud

Golmud railway

[slender isle]

I do not want Golmund

[eager spire]

oh no wait the last balancing change the BSVM got was in Season 2, where the recoil modifier for the full auto mode got changed from 0.9x to 1.15x.

[royal swan]

We all love golmud, it's the best map.

[eager spire]

so it was technically a nerf but not really
