[hexed mango]

irish

[arctic grove]

….I’m not gonna admit I forgot dozer is an assault specialist

[hexed mango]

hehe

i would like to see how 3.2 plays out first

[arctic grove]

Yeah down the road they can probably revise it anyways so agreed

[white geyser]

I said it last time too, I want the stealth bomber to be added in 2042

[hexed mango]

would be my dream

either B-2/21 or F22 would make me fall in love

[arctic grove]

2042 could use better defined aircraft for attack and bombing roles instead of just the f35 and su57 I guess

[hexed mango]

and those cant even drop bombs

[arctic grove]

I only say I guess since it is a lot of work not that I don’t support it

Yea no JDAMs

[hexed mango]

me soaring through the skies in the b21

[arctic grove]

Or even any types of rockets

[hexed mango]

https://tenor.com/xSee.gif

[white geyser]

I want the stealth bomber and I want the players shit on their pants not knowing the bomb hit them

[arctic grove]

We always get the kewl shit in the WW games man

[granite island]

I want a airstrike mechanic

[arctic grove]

V had dedicated fighters and attack planes

Light tonks iirc and normal tonks. I think technically heavy if we count the Tiger?

I don’t know how that game organizes its vehicles

[arctic grove]

If the temporyal leak actually does come to the game we will be in luck

[granite island]

I hope it's real

I wanna see big boom

In these oversized map

[arctic grove]

Well his leaks aren’t fake it’s just there’s no guarantee they will actually come to the game

But they definitely exist as things in the gamefiles

[white geyser]

I better tell DICE to add the stealth bomber in 2042 and other contents too

[granite island]

Basically that one bomber from bf5

[arctic grove]

There’s nothing I want more than an armored tuktuk

[robust vapor]

FT17 tonk tho

Cutest annoying little shit

And the St Chamond snout tank

[lone wren]

which variant though

[robust vapor]

Just in general

It's not a difficult tank to deal with

[granite island]

Tank vs tuktuk

Tuktuk makes tank flip

Somehow

[robust vapor]

Tho I do climb on top of it to annoy the driver

[idle lion]

Nope your initial assessment was that i missed my c5 not that something was changed

[robust vapor]

Gonna try and see if I could hijack a hind with Mackay

[lone wren]

I did annoy enemy tanks with the railgun tank

eariler

[idle lion]

I fucked a condor like that once

[robust vapor]

jesus dude chill there are organic objects for you to f with

why a vtol

😂

[idle lion]

Im from r/noncredibledefense

[robust vapor]

[idle lion]

My gender is aerophilic

[robust vapor]

Mini condors coming to game soon I guess

[idle lion]

Condors but the cockpits have McKay faces

[robust vapor]

lets not give ideas to Dice for April Fools 2023

[idle lion]

Im gonna name them conny con and connor

[robust vapor]

with the PornhubDaddy decal on the side

[idle lion]

Please i want this so bad now

[idle lion]

This is just how is sometimes

[hexed mango]

@ripe hedge 👀 im watching you. <3

wow still strong at 25k nearing midnight in pacific

this is epic

[idle lion]

Its mid day in oceania

Bf2042 is VERY populated down here

[lone wren]

quite exciting

[prime ember]

for anyone who wants an 20-25 fps boost look on the iternet how to turn on dx12 in battlefield 2042 , there is no setting in the game for this

[lone wren]

despite being one of the lower populated regions

[idle lion]

Especially when comparing previous games

[lone wren]

Compared to regions like Europe and US

[royal trail]

uh

bf2042 is always in dx12

[lone wren]

Why

[royal trail]

its created that way

lol

[idle lion]

I dont think it always is

[royal trail]

ye it is

[idle lion]

I think it is most of the time

[royal trail]

lol

[idle lion]

Exceptions being when frostbite accidentally thinks ur gpu doesnt support 12

So it launches in 11

[royal trail]

no i dont think the game can run on hardware that doesnt support dx12

[idle lion]

It does have 11 support

[royal trail]

uh

[idle lion]

You can see dx11 references in console

[royal trail]

whatever

[arctic grove]

new maps yet?

[royal trail]

spearhead is the latest

[next onyx]

Yeah so my progress is doubled for Zain?

[slate meadow]

Anybody else think the new tanks are broken?

Seems like 3 c5 aren't enough to kill it

[lapis pebble]

I destroyed one yesterday with 3 👀

[slate meadow]

Did it take any damage before hand ? I've mackayed onto 2 now and 3 hasn't bee enough ?

[hexed mango]

skill issue

[inner roost]

3 C5 kills any tank

Must've fked smtn up

[lapis pebble]

Could be I think but it was very chaotic so I might have missed it. But it should kill any tank with 3

[hexed mango]

my game renders with d3d12, always

atleast that’s what riva tells me

[arctic grove]

Is the battlefield server discord partnered 🤔

[inner roost]

Nah it's just community ran now

[slate meadow]

I have suffered with invisible enemy aswell.maybe I need to do a reinstall of the game

[arctic grove]

good thing then, we can curse because it's not partnered :D

[inner roost]

That's an actual bug that happens even in my games very rarely

[hexed mango]

we could curse before

[inner roost]

I don't think a reinstall will change anything

[slate meadow]

In over 350 hours I've not had it up untill yesterday

[arctic grove]

I was just on a partnered server and it was the most awful experience bruh

[hexed mango]

server only recently became unaffiliated with ea/dice official

[slate meadow]

But I also noticed hit reg of my acr seems way off aswell

[arctic grove]

whatt :0

[hexed mango]

read #server-news

[slate meadow]

Either it's hit reg or input lag

[inner roost]

Should be fine here even if it was partnered, after all it's a server about an M rated game

[hexed mango]

we could always curse here, yet we can’t curse in game

[slate meadow]

Sometimes I get a kill feed pop up a good 2 seconds after I finish shooting

[inner roost]

You on PC?

[slate meadow]

Yeah

[inner roost]

Yeah I had some stuttering problems lately

Sticking to series x version until they fix the cpu usage and stutters

[royal trail]

just get another 128gb of ram to fix the stuttering

[slate meadow]

Last week I kept getting the game just closing no error dialogue come up or anything

[inner roost]

PC Port for this game just not very good

[arctic grove]

Bruh i got banned from the server for saying that the mod that warned me for sending the Chinese flag is being racist lmfaoo

[slate meadow]

It seems that after every new season/patch o have a weird issue in one way or another for abit then they fix it and it's fine for ages then they update a s something else messes up 😂

[lapis pebble]

once before S1, I got killed asked for a rev...it came on feed once I had spawned back💀

[slate meadow]

😂😂

[inner roost]

I was so confused why my i7 was heating up to like 85° and locked at 100% usage

[lapis pebble]

but the game is good now, having fun with it

[slate meadow]

I've got afew screen recording of stupid shit in game

[arctic grove]

My 6700k used to have strokes running this game

[inner roost]

4 core cpu will prob explode with the newest update

[slate meadow]

Yeah I'm s066 I love the game I always have a blast but it's annoying with every update they mess something up

[lapis pebble]

DICE, Fix something and mess something other

[inner roost]

Atleast they got the gameplay in a good spot now with classes coming back

[lapis pebble]

agree

[white geyser]

DICE they better think hard and what content can they add something enjoyable in order to forget about hazard zone since it failed and a terrible version of tarkov

[arctic grove]

I wait for stealth bomber.

[lapis pebble]

Hazard zone, except DICE at the start no one cared. It's sad that portal didn't get enough attention

[white geyser]

They should have done something for the portal specifically to get the fans playing it from the start

They can try to rework the portal to try something for the fans to start playing it

[lapis pebble]

Yes but I highly doubt it will happen

[winter vault]

Announce new game @regal yoke

[inner roost]

We won't see an announcement until atleast 2024

[white geyser]

Tell DICE about the portal problem if they want the fans to play it

[inner roost]

Needs more maps, seriously only the BC2 and BF3 maps are worth playing

[idle lion]

Its just friday night battlefields modifier

[idle lion]

Keep malding

[proper crystal]

How do I exactly ‘spot’ players for my battle pass quests?

[royal trail]

just played a game since people are complaining about stuttering and shit. but it all was smooth to me

[idle lion]

Press q on people

[cosmic island]

Couldn't agree with you more! I said this to them on their Twitter!

[idle lion]

Meanwhile everyone stuttering

[white geyser]

I think I said the same too, just can't remember

[royal trail]

maybe im too tired to notice the stuttering

idk

lol

[lapis pebble]

Maybe you are stuttering irl...so you can't notice

[royal trail]

or maybe that

lol

[white geyser]

I better keep telling DICE to add more contents that we want, portal doesn't have breakthrough mode so that needs to be add in the portal, more maps, and more things we want in the game that should have been there

[royal trail]

didnt dice just add tdm to the maingame

give em some slacks

[edgy oriole]

use casper for his drone, rao and hack people or paik and spot them with her ability. also can use prox sensor in throwables.

[cosmic island]

Yes please do that! They could win the fanbase back easily! 👍🏻

[proper crystal]

I came back since last playing on preseason and I am having really good fun, I am not entirely sure why is this game bashed that hard when there are way worse gaming fails, nor do I want to start a fight here

Gunplay could have been a bit different

[edgy oriole]

bugs and poo poo servers mainly, secondly need more maps and third more weapons for some people.

[arctic grove]

The gunplay is fine

Don’t change anything about it, I don’t want horrid visual recoil or random recoil

[upbeat sand]

New shotgun is cracked

Even on discarded

[ripe hedge]

Hell yeah it is

[upbeat sand]

Next season it's definitely gonna need a nerf

Currently I think it's fine

The cqc teaser map is gonna be hell

[white geyser]

Rework co-op to make it online matchmaking with good content to add

[upbeat sand]

I think co op would be good as a optional thing

Dammit fucking easy anticheat

What

Do

I

Have

Installed

To make me kicked

I am so mad I can't grammar

[arctic grove]

Lmao

[dire quest]

Would anyone be interested in a tank superiority server with only railgun tanks?

[iron pecan]

literally the only thing wrong about bf5 campaign is it's ai

god damn bushes are useless in stealth part

[low cypress]

Alex is a weapons developer

[next onyx]

@hexed mango @low timber

[solar obsidian]

mate i have to call the mods on that one, you clearly griefing the free to play players

[low timber]

Now do Crawford

[next onyx]

NO.

Not yet...

[solar obsidian]

smoke and crawford

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

ASSISTS

[next onyx]

I have Lis planned to do next.

[low timber]

I do hope that Crawford mastery gets added with repairs with his critical repair trait

[robust vapor]

That crossbow is lit af

Reminds me of using the Martini Henry

[wise swan]

has anything changed

for more than a year

since it came out

[robust vapor]

2042 is getting better

Albeit there are still some issues here and there

[wise swan]

ok

im playing it cuz its on free weekend now

[digital turret]

Hello, i have an issue - Dozer headgear Fireproof and Grey Knight cost 300 bfc for each other, but i cant buy it. I've restarted game, it didnt help. i have only 300 bfc from battlepass

[wise swan]

they didnt fix the optimization uh

thats unfortunate

[royal trail]

?

the game utilize more of my 12core cpu now than before and it feels smoother

[low cypress]

they have?

Mostly

[wise swan]

whats your gpu

[low cypress]

uhh I won’t be saying that

[wise swan]

why

[royal trail]

probably 2 rtx 4090 is sli

[low cypress]

na just a 3090

[wise swan]

why tf would you hide what your gpu is, you are not that important

[royal trail]

ah i have a rtx 3090 aswell

solid card

[low cypress]

and you are?

[wise swan]

no im not and i dont pretend to be

[low cypress]

Ayy

[low cypress]

i don’t either lmao

@royal trail I think I pissed him off instantly

[royal trail]

haha

he will get over it

[wet dock]

Trying to play the game during free week, my my FPS is really bad, at 15-30 FPS on low graphics settings, and 1366 x 768 res. I use i5 6500 and AMD RX 480

[royal trail]

😦

[wet dock]

I saw some other people play with the same GPU, they're able to get 60+ FPS 1080p low to medium settings

Idk what's wrong with my game, or perhaps my PC

[arctic grove]

Cope

[somber fable]

Hi guys, it's possible to change the kill skull color in bf2042?

[shy latch]

official minimum requirements are: Intel Core i5 6600K and AMD Radeon RX 560, so according to your specs you are below those

[wet dock]

I think the GPU should be fine, but I guess the problem is the CPU

[shy latch]

well, surely 2042 is more CPU than GPU bound

[lunar sedge]

Hi guys, not played for a while and I see theres been a few updates. Am I able to squad up with people on my friends list yet?

[slender isle]

You should be able to change all colours from the accessibility settings

[somber fable]

i can't find that setting

can you tell me where it is?

[slender isle]

So in accessibility it should be the kill colour. I have mine set to yellow

[somber fable]

can you take a screenshot? There is no kill colour in my accessibility settings

[low cypress]

You’ve been able to do that from the beginning

[low cypress]

Thank you

[lunar sedge]

i wasnt able to when I last played lol

[low cypress]

Hm

A skill issue perhaps

[naive sandal]

DICE NERFED THE GVT!??

[slender isle]

Maybe try looking for the Hud settings in one of the other areas. I’m not currently close to my PC

[low cypress]

Yes

I think

[low timber]

How was it nerfed?

[next onyx]

For some reason they reduced its long range damage with the 6KU.

Which for some reason is a thing?

As in.

Why did they even have to nerf it.

[low timber]

Can it ohk hs then?

[next onyx]

No at very long range.

[low timber]

I guess Alex or his co-worker has been watching Ravic’s videos then

Maybe GVT’s HSM was reduced from 4x?

[next onyx]

I do remember him talking about that on stream.

He was on about "I don't know who this is meant to affect asides from people like me"

[low timber]

As before 150m it did 55.2dmg with 6ku and after 150m did 32.2dmg

So with a 4x HSM 32.2 does go over 100

[silk tendon]

so portal maps have no fast sprint/sliding and the original classes ? Is the destructibility as it was in the original maps ??

[low timber]

So with dropping it to 2x it can still ohk hs to 150m but not past it.

[lone void]

Salutations fellow miscreants

[slender isle]

I believe it’s more dynamic in the 2042 iteration. Especially on the bf3 maps

[pine roost]

am I having a funny 5 minutes or did they change the font

[silk tendon]

ty , is there weather too >?

[pine roost]

that's not just me thinking that right

[slender isle]

No tornadoes or anything. Basically the maps are just really good remasters of the bf3 and bc2 maps

[silk tendon]

no i mean just rain and stuff

[slender isle]

I don’t think so. Whatever they were like in their games is how they are here

[arctic grove]

the mist on that lighthouse map messed me up so bad as a pilot

also, I just saw one of those jump jets in game, are they back??

[pine roost]

yes the game has become titanfall while you were gone

[arctic grove]

awesome

[slender isle]

What’s a jump jet lmao

[arctic grove]

the f-15(?)

harrier?

idk the name of it

[silk tendon]

i'll dare say the game is in a good state right now , at least the way i see it

[arctic grove]

it's the hover jet essentially

[arctic grove]

I'm loving it ngl

[slender isle]

Oh yeah, the US jet

[arctic grove]

yeah did they change it to hover?

[pine roost]

the F35 in this has always had a hover

[arctic grove]

wait wtf

WHAT

[slender isle]

You press Z to change from hover to flight mode or vice versa

[pine roost]

ok they've definitely changed the font. This one feels more 'bevelled' i guess

[arctic grove]

HOW DID I NEVER KNOW LOL

[pine roost]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[arctic grove]

level 80, all upgrades on the jet
never knew it hovered

wow💀💀💀

[slender isle]

Please tell me you know the condor can zoom

[arctic grove]

oh yeah I knew that

[slender isle]

Thank god

[arctic grove]

condor is one of my favourites to fly

[slender isle]

It acts the same basically

[arctic grove]

warning the squad "this is a hot drop btw" before plunging into enemy A is my favourite thing

[slender isle]

I love the condor

Find it more of a target than the hind, but much funner to fly

[arctic grove]

definitely

the hinds mobility ain't bad at all though

really strong strafing

Also that new rail gun tank is absurd

oneshot my apache earlier

[shell willow]

Hey guys, is anyone else having trouble getting in touch with EA help? None of my (5) browsers want to initiate a popup window.

[slender isle]

100% but the condor just looks so so much better. Also, the hover go super speed helps when having to get away from an objective fast

[arctic grove]

definitely, it's really good for rapid capture if you have a good crew

I normally sit on the back repairing it as Lis, extra rockets and repairs are nice

[next onyx]

I'm a zain main now.

Dude is amazing.

[arctic grove]

I feel like the cannon attachment isn't great though

I prefer the grenade launcher for aggressive captures

[slender isle]

The grenade launcher is crazy powerful on basically all vehicles

[arctic grove]

It's good if you're playing at a distance and want to nail targets like small vehicles but that's about it

[slender isle]

Only bettered by the mortar pod on the MAV

[arctic grove]

grenade launcher is just my personal favourite for the air transports

hot drop? 20 on a flag? no problem

[arctic grove]

the condor is good but not better than the russian chopper

[slender isle]

But it’s more fun

[arctic grove]

Russian chopper doesn't need to be speedy just hide behind a building fast which the condor struggles with.

Yeah i feel like the Russian chopper is more mobility as opposed to speed

[low timber]

Way used gust, it’s super effective.

[arctic grove]

which is great on some maps

but

on the that Canadian landslide map its lacking

[arctic grove]

I don't think the same way but maybe you have a strong argument for that 🤔

[slender isle]

The condor is better for breakaway, hourglass, stranded, and also on renewal

It’s also pretty good on orbital

[arctic grove]

I disagree to your claim

[slender isle]

😳

[arctic grove]

I just feel like weaving in and out of buildings is perfect for the hind, but on more open maps it struggles

it's a big target that can't hide as much, whereas the condor can simply fly quick enough to where it doesn't get shot to shit approaching an objective

that's just my opinion though, could be wrong

both transports are always fun though

[slender isle]

The hind works well on any small city/hill based map

[arctic grove]

It's awesome on kaleidoscope

[slender isle]

So Kaleidoscope and exposure are great? As is stranded

[arctic grove]

exposure ehh maybe

renewal absolutely not

There's almost no hiding

[next onyx]

Dude you can perch with an ammo box and have so much staying power.

His biggest weakness lies on his reliance of perseverance to well. Survive.

And Irish is his biggest hard counter.

Dozer is merely a soft check LOL.

[slender isle]

It can dip super easily down the cracks

[next onyx]

You can still kill him with a full payload.

Which is a bit dumb.

[low timber]

v3.2 called

[fiery solar]

So last night I uninstalled 2042 out of frustration cause I just wanted to complete 1 stupid challenge and not play until like next missions.

I turn on my PlayStation right this second to see the game is installing itself

What the fuck

[next onyx]

I hope they improve ammo capacity. Because I don't want to be sitting on 132 high power drum rounds.

[pine roost]

people keep saying that you can still flare while hacked, I don't think you can

[slender isle]

You can never stop

[pine roost]

just got 2 easy kills on people while playing as rao because of it

[next onyx]

I wouldn't mind an extra mag or two.

[low timber]

Didn’t Alex say to you they’ll look into the ammo economy?

[next onyx]

I think so.

But.

3.2 will be rough for anyone but support.

[fiery solar]

Now they’re giving me 2 huge download files

Dice is gonna make sure I never make this mistake again

[slender isle]

I hope you’ve learned 😠😠

[arctic grove]

most of the targets I shoot down flare just before the hack

but that's about it

[pine roost]

rao is just so strong. His hack comes back so quickly he can singlehandedly cause aircraft to leave the area

[upbeat sand]

Only problem I would have is t1-ing specific characters

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[upbeat sand]

Anyway finally got rao to t1

Now I have 3 t1 specialists

[slender isle]

Gotta have some protection cause infantry can dog pile on you

[low timber]

I hope they’ll add Crawford’s new trait to count to his mastery, as right now it’s dumb that he is supposedly a support who revives but revives won’t count towards it.

[next onyx]

Yeah.

He shouldn't be just kills.

[low timber]

Yeah, as his turret isn’t great ether

So far I’ve only found two spots where the turrets actually works well

Both in Stranded BT

[next onyx]

I know of a way to get his turret to work but at the same time it's not for me.

I'm better off stealing an enemy turret and killing them when their backs are turned.

[slender isle]

I shred nightbirds with his turret

Good air denial sometimes

[low timber]

I got Crawford to T2 yesterday, but I’d still need 800 kills/assists with the turret

[next onyx]

I admire your dedication.

But Jesus christ.

[chilly jacinth]

id rather afk than sit on a damn turret

[next onyx]

I wish they updated smoke mastery to include smoke thrown and assists.

[low timber]

Not really, usually when you do fire at aircrafts they’ll just lose the paint on their armor and strafe you down in one go

[chilly jacinth]

same with the damn casper drone

absolutely awful and boring gameplay

[next onyx]

At least the Casper drone can survey an area.

Yeah true but the support it provides is massive.

Better than a turret.

Back at Flashback BT I was sort of designating targets for my friend in the dart while he was in the UAV. Shit was cancer man.

There was this one dude we kept on targeting.

[low timber]

Yeah, it’s damage output is quite inconsistent as well, sometimes you shoot at an enemy and you get hitmarkers for 6 seconds straight and sometimes it just mows them down in half a second.

[chilly jacinth]

disgusting

[robust vapor]

yup i just verified you can throw back grenade in 2042

[chilly jacinth]

calling it throwing back is quite optimistic

[low timber]

Way, you know what gadgets I want?
Decoys
I want a carbon copy of the BF4 Decoy and a separate gadget that is doll decoy, like BFV had

Also a Jammer

Here’s what I said in a different server about how I’d love the jammer to work

Jammer gadget would be cool as well.
Scrambles enemy minimap and radio when in range plus stops friendlies being spotted in the radius as well.
Sadly the BFV Jammer never got added, that would’ve been so good as well with the flare spam.

[pastel loom]

what about the censor grenade also from bf4?

[low timber]

That’s already in the game

[chilly jacinth]

we already have those

[arctic grove]

is boris's sentry any good these days?

[chilly jacinth]

no

it hasnt been for a long time

[slender isle]

They also removed the see through smoke thing

Which sucks

[pine roost]

i seriously don't get how people think rao is underpowered

[low timber]

I don’t, but I think his hacking is underwhelming, like you hack a enemy gadget and it’s just an EMP effect, when it could’ve been more fun to hijack them.
Enemy AT mines? Mine!
Boris turret? Shoot your old master!
Etc.

[slender isle]

I kinda wanted the hack to disable all vehicle controls (including movement) for 2 seconds

Not enough to lock on really, but just super annoying

[chilly jacinth]

rip all air vehicles

[slender isle]

Air vehicles can just fly upwards as fast as possible when getting hacked

[chilly jacinth]

if their ability to do so is disabled

how would they

[iron acorn]

Does anyone know a fix for Anti Cheat authentication failed? I have to repair the game every time before i start it in order to not get kicked..

[chilly jacinth]

reinstall EAC

[iron acorn]

tried that a couple of times. didnt do anything so far.

[mossy charm]

are we gonna get an RC-XD but dices take on it

[arctic grove]

Hack could probably do some more things but I think disabling vehicle weapons and functions when combined with some teamwork works well as it is, but I’m not sure there could probably be some situations for improvement

[pine roost]

my goodness the flight assist feels worse today

unbelievably so

[arctic grove]

Do you think they messed with it?

[slender isle]

We hit 34k players guys

Most since last year

[pine roost]

I feel like there’s some server lag that is just making the effect 2x as bad

[toxic wigeon]

Hmm

Got tier 1 pbx last night

Now pp29 time

[digital turret]

Pp29 also good

[royal trail]

ive been using m16 since they added it to the maingame

is good?

[chilly jacinth]

i mean

you should be able to tell

if youre using it

[digital turret]

Yes, they buffed m16

[next onyx]

I wonder if they fixed that sniper trait oversight with paik.

M16 might be the go to but the scar is my go to gun.

[royal trail]

idk if the weapon is average or if i just suck

hard to tell

[next onyx]

Being a portal weapon its recoil resrt sucks.

We also have the recoil bug.

[chilly jacinth]

recoil bug is great

i love shooting a bit and my gun pointing to the sky

[somber fable]

Hi guys, it's possible to change the kill skull color in bf2042?

[digital turret]

I'm still waiting aksu 74 buff, cause it's the worst full auto weapon now

[pine roost]

Yeah that bug is really interesting

[royal trail]

wait m16 i sstill bugged? didnt they fix it

[pine roost]

Gone unnoticed for so long but could be the cause of so many issues

[chilly jacinth]

m16 isnt bugged

[royal trail]

good

[chilly jacinth]

recoil in general is bugged

[fossil trench]

Can I use smoke grenades for the throwables challenge? Because smoke assists?

[next onyx]

You don't gain any progress towards that.

With it.

[fossil trench]

Isn’t it kills and assists?

[next onyx]

Yes but smokes or proxy balls don't count.

[fossil trench]

Ah damn

[digital turret]

You can use new knives

[royal trail]

i keep thinking something glitched out as i get killed by throwing knifes

since nothing made a sound

lol

[plucky plover]

dawg, why does bf2042 move like i have a shitty ahh gpu

even on low it moves like shit and freezes

[royal trail]

?

[next onyx]

This game asks more out of your CPU than gpu.

[plucky plover]

damn

[next onyx]

That's always been a thing in battlefield.

[royal trail]

idk i play on 4k but i can maintain 60fps at that

maybe a problem at higher fps

[next onyx]

Cause you have a 4k GPU.

4k 60fps sounds sweet by the way.

[royal trail]

ye well i have a 4k monitor

so

[next onyx]

USE IT!

[royal trail]

yep

[next onyx]

I'm going to sit on 1440p until 4k high refresh rates are easily accessible.

[royal trail]

i cant use my 1080p dvi monitor anymore tho as my rtx 3090 doesnt have dvi ports

rip

[next onyx]

That's a shame.

[pine roost]

Just got killed me a Tgm that can just see me across the map

God this game is so good

Arg I want to enjoy it but then stuff like that happens

[next onyx]

I hate but also love that it can do that?? It feels a bit scummy but in the hand of an experienced rocketeer it ruins the enemy pilot.

[royal trail]

i wonder if 4090 can pull 8k with the new dlss 3

[next onyx]

Yeah I've heard that was the main advertisement for it.

[pine roost]

Getting rid of the 3D spot through walls would make it better

[next onyx]

Or something.

[ripe hedge]

lmao

[next onyx]

Armour Hunter?

Alex!

[ripe hedge]

Way!

[next onyx]

How's it going?

I might go for something like a 6070 in the future.

Or a 5080.

4k 120 fps sounds amazing.

But I might even go AMD since they're more on the power conservation side.

[ripe hedge]

you would need a 4k 120fps panel that doesnt look like shit

[next onyx]

Yeah that too.

[royal trail]

idk i just bought my 3090 at an auction for a fair price. im happy to have the extra vram with my 4k monitor

[shell willow]

Nvidia GTRXRTXTX 9900S-PRO for 16K 120FPS gameplay

[ebon pilot]

A Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo

[next onyx]

The other thing is that you can UC the gpu for 1440p to avoid a bottle neck and it'll still run fast.

Well you can't avoid a bottle neck but on 1440p it'll last for a very long time on it.

[royal trail]

ive noticed that alot of games utilize more than 12gb vram at 4k

its scary

[ripe hedge]

No thanks i like my games without massive black bars at the sides

[next onyx]

Ye it do be like that Las.

[ripe hedge]

Its a good panel tho

[next onyx]

I might get into ultra wide in the future?

I understand why people go for it.

[ebon pilot]

ok just run it as 2 2560x1440 monitors in pbp mode

[toxic wigeon]

Dang just went 40 and 10

10

[next onyx]

Looking at getting an extra monitor so I don't have to alt tab all the time.

Nice!

[toxic wigeon]

Would upload a clip but Xbox says I need to delete some to uplosd

[next onyx]

So when you look at a second monitor you understand why people do these things.

[toxic wigeon]

Lol

[next onyx]

Though the one part of ultra wide I don't like is that it needs more juice out of your card.

[royal trail]

ive heard bad things about people using dvi to dp adapters etc? is it even worth looking into?

[toxic wigeon]

Extra monitors are good

I have two

[next onyx]

I'm not sure. Should probably look into it.

[ripe hedge]

I have an ultrawide but not a super ultra, too little support

[next onyx]

Super super ultra wide!

[ebon pilot]

So it's you then!

[royal trail]

a curved superwide would be neat, ngl

[next onyx]

It would.

[ebon pilot]

The one dice employee making the UI look decent on ultrawide layouts

[next onyx]

I've seen an image somewhere of a CRT ultra wide?

With the big block at the back.

[low timber]

Way, you only have one monitor?

[next onyx]

Yes.

You seem surprised.

[ebon pilot]

https://i.redd.it/akjlmivhqdq61.jpg

[royal trail]

nice

[low timber]

And it can run crysis

[royal trail]

only crysis 1 at that res tho

lol

[next onyx]

HAHAHA.

God damn the weight.

[toxic wigeon]

Hmm

[ripe hedge]

Oh no there are many people with Ultrawides

i dont get it in the office, too low rank for that 😄

[next onyx]

Aww.

[royal trail]

cool to see EA employees still being part of the chat

[pine roost]

My game is down to a constant 70 fps, that’s really odd

[royal trail]

a very promising sign

😄

[next onyx]

Nice to have a convo with them.

[ebon pilot]

I thank the ultrawide using devs for their service in making the UI look good on unconventional layouts

[next onyx]

Marse I'm 42 kills away from tier 1 g57.

Are you proud of me.

[low timber]

Oh yeah, Way did some testing with the M26 yesterday and noticed that you use your left hand to pull the trigger and to crank the lever

[ripe hedge]

No

[low timber]

Reee, I’m still at 733/1200

[ripe hedge]

i kinda want to buff it

[low timber]

Thought I’ve been concentrating on the SWS-10 quite a bit

The Masterkey is amazing

[next onyx]

It's really good! Though what else did you have planned!?

Honestly Marse I should probably get around to it but I want to cruise playing the game.

[pearl ridge]

Of course a massive visual glitch would manifest directly on top of the enemy positions, preventing me from actually seeing them

[low timber]

Will there be a PF51 buff to make its suppressor not useless like how G57 is now viable?

[pearl ridge]

Also this revolver is a piece of shit

[next onyx]

I wonder why pistol suppressors are harsher than primary weapon suppressors.

[fiery solar]

Is that good or bad

Personally I like to hear my gun shoot

[toxic wigeon]

G57 is meh

I feel it never gets the kill when I need it to

Maybe skill issue

[fiery solar]

I love the g57

[ripe hedge]

No idea but, there are several guns that im not happy about because they feel "Ok" just because the alternatives are suckier

[fiery solar]

The battlefield title menu changed

[next onyx]

Haha. Basically a suppressor on the scar took its 5hk damage from 22 to 20.

On the g57 it made its damage 19.

[fiery solar]

Hey Alex is there a reason why battlefield installed itself onto my ps5 after deleting it

[next onyx]

It's a sign.

[low timber]

Well there are few times with the G57 where it feels like the bullets just don’t register if you are also trying to dodge the enemy’s shots you are shooting

[fiery solar]

Oh my god they have a warning before you play now

Or was this always there I think they reset me

[next onyx]

I think I see what you mean? Personally I feel as if I can rely on pistols now to save my life.

The g57 with its burst stands out really well versus the others. Hell the p125 doesn't outclass the mp28 because that thing is accurate as all hell.

Feel free to correct me if I have misinterpreted.

[fiery solar]

The opening cinematic for 2042 is so depressing it’s even more sad we didn’t get a campaign

[dense sun]

Ay i just played a match was #1 on the scoreboard and got none of the xp i earned. anyone else got this issue?

[pearl ridge]

The m44 is pretty much useless though. Even the damn Nagant Revolver was better than this piece a crap

[low timber]

The swap time from primary to sidearms as well isn’t helping for the

it’s always faster to use a sidearm than reloading
When the enemy just kills you in the transition time

[next onyx]

Did you play a modified portal experience?

[pine roost]

still my most used sidearm there

[next onyx]

Yeah actually the swap to side arm time is a bit finicky.

I wouldn't mind it if the m44 lost a bit of its range in exchange for a better velocity.

[pearl ridge]

Velocity in terms of bullet speed or fire rate

[next onyx]

I find it annoying to snipe with when the bullet travels slower than what it feels to be under SMG territory.

[pine roost]

Firerate is my only gripe

[pearl ridge]

Because that ROF is fucking insulting

[low timber]

M44 velocity is 400

The standard bolt on the Ghostmaker is also 400

[next onyx]

The m44 is the .357 revolver form bf5 basically.

[low timber]

Bolt rack is 460

[next onyx]

And the mp412 is the fast revolver you want.

Pew pew.

[fossil trench]

M44 is by far my least favorite gun in BF2042 lol

The fire rate is just soo bad

[next onyx]

I mean it's better than the MCS.

[fiery solar]

M5A3 is a gadget in the starter mission

[next onyx]

Than again anything is better than the Mcs.

[low timber]

I’m gonna keep flexing my T1 M44 as long as I can, aka until Way also gets it

[next onyx]

Screw you cat.

[low timber]

That is currently the worst gun in the whole game

[next onyx]

At least. At least I got railgun done.

:(

[low timber]

Masterkey is better than the MCS
M26 is better than the MCS

[next onyx]

I wouldn't mind it if the m44 had a velocity of 500 600 with a 75m 2HK range.

It feels incredible blowing people's heads off with it.

[low timber]

Too bad it’s not ohk hs on enemies in vehicles with windows

[next onyx]

Armour piercing ammo for the most part is useless.

[low timber]

What do you mean?
I’ve killed a condor with 3 enemies inside with M44 AA rounds, you saw the clip
Yeah all armor piercing are mega bad, except NTW and Rorsch.

[pearl ridge]

Okay hang the fuck on, is everyone not on my squad speaking Russian

That’s just stupid if they’re not ai

[gloomy wyvern]

Tank vs condor....

[next onyx]

Teammates outside of your squad will use faction default quotes.

[gloomy wyvern]

Yea, except they aren't

[next onyx]

Oh yeah Marse is it disgusting I have a 4.8 KPM with the saiga.

[low timber]

No, you are disgusting with your Sfar

[gloomy wyvern]

Most hated weapon

[next onyx]

Armour piercing rounds decrease infantry damage and allow you to hit vehicles yes.

Except its a small prick.

The rorsch and the ntw don't really have to give up anything with armour piercing.

[low timber]

Mr. 200 kills with the Sfar in a round

[next onyx]

Look.

[pearl ridge]

That’s just plain silly

[next onyx]

Scar good.

[gloomy wyvern]

AK 24 new sniper....

[pearl ridge]

Also they clearly used voice lines from bfv for the Americans

[gloomy wyvern]

Not entirely

[next onyx]

I'm kinda glad it's a thing so if you're paying attention to the side you're on, if you hear English from the sand while you're a Russian soldier in the oil fields you know you need to run.

[low timber]

And the description says they can penetrate ”soft materials” I’ve yet to find those ”soft materials” as last time I shot at an enemy behind the metal sheet shack they didn’t go through.

[next onyx]

1942 soldiers re use bf5 lines but the voice actor is the same.

[low timber]

So far Scar is the only BF3 engineer gun not a vault gun

[next onyx]

I love how it disregards body armour but since it decreases infantry damage you're killing them in the same number of shots.

[pearl ridge]

Look if we’re doing this just get rid of the damn specialists already

[next onyx]

They're rooted into the game.

[low timber]

It disregards body armor?

[gloomy wyvern]

No

[next onyx]

Yeah the rorsch pierces through.

You kill a fully armoured Irish in four hits.

Well you should be able to.

So many cringe lords wearing armour this weekend.

[gloomy wyvern]

What if you hit the face?

[next onyx]

Three hit kill.

[gloomy wyvern]

What if knife

[next onyx]

I can't wait until the adjustment for armour.

[low timber]

There’s no body armor on the face

[next onyx]

Body armour adds to the health it doesn't change anything at all

[gloomy wyvern]

Bf2042 doesn't know that....🤫

[low timber]

Except on headshots

Headshots completely negate body armor

[gloomy wyvern]

Which don't exist until a bot does it

[next onyx]

Should probably check that out. I remember armour adding health and doing nothing else.

[fiery solar]

My ps5 doesn’t know I have 2042 now it wants me to buy it

[next onyx]

Check in with Sony help. That's weird.

[gloomy wyvern]

They should look into headshots with shotguns

[fiery solar]

I just took the disc out and put it back in

Maybe that’s how it installed on its own. It starts installing as soon as you put the disc in it so it must have read the disc when it turned on

[pearl ridge]

Charging down a narrow corridor with a shield while one guy tries to get away is fun

Come here boy

[gloomy wyvern]

I'll slide around and pop

[twin finch]

There was some dude that could repair vehicles right? Or was that Battlefield V?

[pearl ridge]

Oh he tried

Bonk

[gloomy wyvern]

There is a gadget

[twin finch]

Oh ok got like a mission repair vechicles

*vehicles

[pearl ridge]

They need to bring back universal repair tools for engineers

[low timber]

You haven’t been reading the blog posts then

[toxic wigeon]

Ye lol

They are returning in class update

[low solstice]

what is strongest vehicle

[arctic grove]

the pie slinger

[low solstice]

the what

🤨

[pearl ridge]

What the FUCK IS THIS SHIT

[ripe hedge]

its called Discord and i know...

[pearl ridge]

Fucking nightbird zipping around like a toy drone, slamming into walls and outrunning homing missiles

[next onyx]

The pie slinger.

[pearl ridge]

Doesn’t even care

[low solstice]

same lmao

[pearl ridge]

Try that shit in bf4 and you’d be a dead motherfucker

Zero weight to it.

[low solstice]

I died to a super hind like 16 times in a row

and they have infinite flares

[pearl ridge]

At least hinds are big fat fuckers and are easy to hit.

[low solstice]

how the fuck do I hit it

I keep respawning, shooting a fxm-33, they flare and shoot back, I die

how to counter lmao

[arctic grove]

soflam

[low solstice]

WHAT

[shell willow]

idk, use the lady with the manually guided rockets, works wonders in my case

[low solstice]

ty

[shell willow]

Soflam is a laser designator. It ignores flares I think or helps you stay on target.

[low solstice]

I don't think I have that

I'm level 25 or something

[shell willow]

LV56 unlock

huge yikes

[low solstice]

rip

[ripe hedge]

Lets play Breakthrough the way god intented. Boris only, 12M Auto only

[shell willow]

ohGodWhy

so I just got off the chat with support to get my EaPlay version of 2042 working. they straight up told me that I'm wrong to assume that EaPlay gives the full game.

If that IS true, then there's some false advertising on the website

[next onyx]

Please please please.

[low solstice]

the guy in the super hind is 67-2

good lord

[next onyx]

Is it bad I have a 4.8 KPM with the 12m?

[shell willow]

you play rush?

[next onyx]

Nah.

Conquest and bt mostly.

[shell willow]

then no, it's fine

[next onyx]

I got it done on FnB tdm chaos.

Where we could run faster.

[low solstice]

can I take down super hind with lis rpg?

[next onyx]

I never play with it because I think it's broken. But I figured I might as well of gotten it to tier 1 then and there.

[pearl ridge]

Who the FUCK decided to make helicopters even more obnoxious than last time.

[next onyx]

Yeah though you need three of them.

[shell willow]

ez, hit the tail and watch the thing spin into a building

[pearl ridge]

I fucking hate this game.

[next onyx]

If it's annoying you then get off it. Helicopters bother me and I hate them to all hell.

[pine roost]

this is why jets feel so awful. It never fires where the crosshair actually points

[pearl ridge]

Like seriously if you made nightbirds actually respect the laws of physics they’d be much less annoying.

[shell willow]

me too. so do my friends. that's why we always play a full squad of pure Liz.

[next onyx]

I intend to learn Liz.

[shell willow]

That nightbird is dead in miliseconds

[twin finch]

Nowadays physics are so fucked

[next onyx]

Press the magic button on my mouse for faster reactions.

[pearl ridge]

And of course the cunt is a pc player do I can’t even send hate mail.

[shell willow]

XDD

damn I didn't know that the BF community is more toxic than the COD one... i like it

[river sequoia]

What happens to my mines arter death and respawn?

[pearl ridge]

Lis wouldn’t be able to hit shit with this guy, trust me.

[next onyx]

Since DPI/higher sens affects uh. Reactiveness?

The mines stay.

[shell willow]

they despawn after a few sec

[next onyx]

They should stay?

I'm not 100% sure.

[shell willow]

they stay but not forever

[next onyx]

Yeah.

I don't really use them.

[shell willow]

ive noticed I killed enemies and their mines just went POOF gone

[pearl ridge]

Imagine a tiny little racing drone zipping around and doing barrel rolls at rooftop height, except it’s spewing an infinite supply of missiles

[next onyx]

Back at bf5 I loved throwing mines near a tank and throwing my impact grenade as the primer.

[pine roost]

the heli physics in this game are very forgiving, one of the main reasons why they are so strong in this

[next onyx]

Sometimes they move too soon and blow me up right as I throw the second one...

[shell willow]

helis in my experience are SO much harder to control.

and I main Helis in BF4

[pine roost]

in this? nah

[pearl ridge]

Manual aim is simply impossible against him and you can bet he’s got every piece of physical cover on the map memorised in the rare case someone gets a stinger off

He’s moving so fast that just getting a lock is a chore

[pine roost]

bf4 required you to be considerate of your momentum due to the low turn rate, you could easily crash. In this you turn instantly and kill off momentum with ease

[low timber]

Omg, again a squad mate that is immediately harassing

[pearl ridge]

This is just plain bad design.

[low timber]

Like Wah I’m sniping boo hoo

[shell willow]

idk, this game feels slower. I really gotta go back to compare.

nevertheless Valkyrie rocket go NENENENENENENENENNENENENENENEN]\

[pine roost]

the speed you build up is slower, but the roll speeds and overall physics are way different

[pearl ridge]

If I had AP belts on my machine gun I might at least get him to fuck off

[honest wyvern]

Hello guys, I have a problem with the M60E4, I can't unlock the weapon, I completed all the challenges and the weapon is still locked, any idea what I can do?

[low timber]

They went 16/18 and cries that I’m sniping and then wasted the rest of the round smoking me

And they aren’t even in S levels yet

[next onyx]

Weirdo rando.

These free to play players are something else.

[pearl ridge]

Scout choppers should not be bulletproof. Regular rifle fire should hurt them.

[next onyx]

I don't mean it in a bad way but the kind of weirdos you encounter.

[pine roost]

you can shoot out the pilot

[next onyx]

If you're fighting ashe he's a well known whinger. Just leave the lobby and or play something else.

[low timber]

Nah, they were a Level 98 PC player

But still, if you are doing bad don’t try to grief your own team ffs.

[low solstice]

the fucking heli dodges everything lmao

im redeploying like 10 times in a row to get more lis rockets

against a 88-3 heli

[low timber]

And I don’t care if you get offended of me sniping, I’m trying to get my guns to T1 and it’s a sniper rifles turn ffs

Only got 7 sniper rifle kills that round thanks to them smoking me all the time.

[next onyx]

Had some rand smoke my tank on bf5 because I got the squad tank.

It's... weird.

[low timber]

Sadly there isn’t an option to report them for griefing

[autumn harness]

Yes please make them even more usless

[next onyx]

There is.

[pearl ridge]

Useless my ass

[autumn harness]

People need to realise that pilots that get high scores put hundreds of hours into the game and should be able to have those scores

[pearl ridge]

Going 70-0 in just fifteen minutes is far from useless

Fuck off

[autumn harness]

You shouldnt be able to 1v1 a vehicle

its not their point

[pearl ridge]

You shouldn't be able to 1v64 but here we are

[low timber]

Oh yeah, gameplay sabotage?

[autumn harness]

99% pilots cant do that

[next onyx]

Should be.

[devout flare]

the problem is that some can

[next onyx]

Game play sabotage or just general griefing yes.

[autumn harness]

thats not a problem, thats called skill, take heli yourself and 1v1 them

[pearl ridge]

Skill? Or shit physics?

[autumn harness]

wait a sec, if 99% of infantry players have kd below 3 but some have over 3 should we ban them?

[pearl ridge]

This motherfucker's literally bouncing off walls and shit

That ain't skill, that's just suicide

In a better game

[autumn harness]

helis take far more skill then you think

try playing with them for a bit

[pearl ridge]

WELL CLEARLY NOT COLLISION AVOIDANCE ANYMORE

[autumn harness]

see if you can get to 70 0

[pine roost]

much less in this game compared to others

[pearl ridge]

I can fly choppers in this game and that speaks to how easy it is now

[autumn harness]

thats a fair point, just went beck to Bad Company 2 and holy hell apache flys like a brick

[pine roost]

I'd agree that the physics are definitely one of the main reasons why they are so prevalent

yeah

movement like that makes them predictable, easier to line up shots with dumbfires

[autumn harness]

yea but can you do 70 0 in them like he or some other good pilots can?

[low timber]

There, reported them for gameplay sabotage.

[pearl ridge]

I don't care to learn because I'm not a shitter and I actually have things like a job and other games to play.

[autumn harness]

yea but in this game we dont have below radar mehanic so its even harder to dumbfire them cause they dont have reason to get low expect when they serach for cover

[low timber]

Even added a comment to the report

[autumn harness]

then you shouldnt complain about someone who put hours into something he likes

[pearl ridge]

And if that thing he likes is actively ruining the experience for a whole team?

[autumn harness]

would you complain if someone beat you in football or basketball

[pearl ridge]

Chat was full of guys trying to kill the fucker

[pine roost]

in addition to the convergence which promotes longer distance fights

[autumn harness]

it doesnt, EU servers are a no fly zone cause most people know how to play

[pearl ridge]

None of them could even scratch him

[autumn harness]

this too, tbf if someone can aim littlebird or .50 I think he should be able to use them at any distances

[autumn harness]

yea cause he put thousands of hours into the game

[pearl ridge]

Anyone who put thousands of hours into 2042 should be institutionalised.

[autumn harness]

that is your opinion and its not rly valid nor based but ok

you sound like reddit my dude

always complaining about vehicles

[pearl ridge]

I played TF2 for the better part of six years and I only got a hair over a thousand hours in it.

[pine roost]

the main reason I play games like this is to improve and learn stuff, people who actually achieve a good level are always just talked down upon

[autumn harness]

cause of people like you they removed air vehicles from B64 and now most of the low end PC people cant even fly

[low solstice]

ngl I still have no idea how you can spawn in one, lol.

[autumn harness]

just spam left mouse or space over it in spawn menu

respawn time is 100seconds

[pearl ridge]

Helishitters ruined BF4 in Australia and by fucking god they're going to ruin this game too

Well, more than it already is.

[autumn harness]

they didnt ruin it they are just good at the game

[radiant prism]

Homie really faced one half decent heli pilot and has declared the game ruined because of it

[autumn harness]

this 100 times

[pine roost]

I look up to good heli pilots and try to learn from them / how to deal with them

[slim isle]

Why this guy complains

[autumn harness]

people complain about one good pilot even doe there are thousands of bad ones and DICE still removes helis from B64

[topaz field]

woww 36k steam players!!! lets push it over to 50k!

[toxic wigeon]

Ye

[pearl ridge]

Okay so describe strategies for killing something that is bulletproof, outrunning/flaring away missiles, and is moving fast enough to dodge AA fire

[toxic wigeon]

It’s gonna fall soon though I think

[pine roost]

rao

[pearl ridge]

I have tried every strategy in the book and they Don't Work.

[pine roost]

shoot the cockpit

[autumn harness]

you do realise that every time you hack them or lock them on, you removed them from the game four a good 30seconds

[pine roost]

use cover

[toxic wigeon]

Looks like it already is falling

[radiant prism]

Hack it constantly, spam AA and AT missiles at it, the railgun that does vehicle damage…

[pearl ridge]

If shooting the cockpit worked he'd be dead a thousand times over.

[pine roost]

well it does

because you can shoot through it

[radiant prism]

It literally does lol

[autumn harness]

there are so many counters in this game that most pilots cant even fly anymore

[radiant prism]

I shot down a Hind with my M60 yesterday

Killed the gunner and then the pilot

[pearl ridge]

There's literally like two counters in this game and one of them's unintentional

[mild cloud]

cool

is it hard?

[pearl ridge]

That's the railgun tank by the way

[pine roost]

the wildcat is insane against it, and the heli can't do anything

you can use the rorsch

recoiless

liz

[autumn harness]

Railgun tank, railgun gun, Wildcat with setups, rpgs, lock ons, rao, lis

[pine roost]

basically any vehicle with a mounted gun

[autumn harness]

OTHER HELIS??, planes itd

[pine roost]

irish aps

[autumn harness]

any 30mm

[pearl ridge]

Lis literally can't hit these sorts of pilots, do you not understand this

[pine roost]

jets

[autumn harness]

irish yea

[pine roost]

you have more options to take them out than any other game

[autumn harness]

as an EU lis and heli player I disagree

Shot plenty of players who are in his leauge or even higher

[pearl ridge]

Do I have to post a FUCKING video? Oh that's right I'm not allowed because I'm not a regular despite being here for literal years

Way I see it, you can't claim it to solely be skill if the game is going out of its way to make a pilot's job as easy as possible by removing all weight from his manoeuvring. I've seen less manoeuvrable professional racing drones and those weigh like fucking two kilos.

[fleet stump]

Hi all: I'm trying to play the BF2042 free weekend from Steam, but the game won't run: after clicking the green "Play" button the button changes to blue Steam loading window shows up momentarily, then it disappears and the button comes back to green. I noticed also that the Origin app running in the background restarts. Is there a way to fin this? I've already checked file integrity and deleted the cache content from the [username]\Documents folder

[autumn harness]

if 99% of players cant do it but 1% can its skill issue not game issue

[pearl ridge]

It's called a balance issue.

Nobody should be invincible, no matter how goddamn skilled they are.

[mild cloud]

run admin and see what the problem

[pearl ridge]

No pilot in BFV is invincible, because viable counters exist.

No pilot in BF1 is invincible, because their planes are made of wood and can be shot down by machine gun fire.

[fleet stump]

also done, I put BF2042.exe and BF2042_launcher.exe to run as admin

[pearl ridge]

Hell, even in BF4 they at least need to worry about shit like lift and the ground

[fleet stump]

would it be that I still have Origin and haven't switched to that new EA app?

[mild cloud]

uh oh

[mild cloud]

yes.

[pine roost]

yes, that is the case. They dumbed down the mechanics to make them as easy as possible to fly

[mild cloud]

because the old ea app is outdated

[pearl ridge]

They should've at least lowered the skill ceiling while they were at it.

[pine roost]

I dislike most things to do with how aircraft feel in this game, hence my username being how it is since launch

I'm really hoping for some changes so I can actually enjoy the game in the future

[fleet stump]

urrgh well I kept postponing the update, it was due to happen. I'll give it a try

[mild cloud]

alright

[pearl ridge]

It's the TF2 Sniper problem. Usually they're fine and can be countered by proper play. But once someone playing him hits the absolute top echelons of skill, they simply ruin matches, because he's legitimately too fast for anyone to dodge

[iron kiln]

I'm trying to get the LATV4 recon car tier 1 is there anyone available to help either be gunner or driver

[pearl ridge]

You expose yourself for a millisecond and you die.

You end up having to resort to fucking human wave tactics, presenting too many targets for him to shoot at once.

And that leaves you wide open to the rest of the enemy team.

You can dodge a rocket, you can crack a sentry nest, you can root out even the most stubborn spies... but you can't counter a top tier sniper.

That's what it's like to go up against a helishitter.

[autumn harness]

did you just say that someone in 1% is ruining matches even doe its not a game with matchmaking

[pearl ridge]

TF2 does have matchmaking. Has since like 2017.

And 2042 doesn't even have a goddamn server browser.

Because, ya know, that's too hard.

[autumn harness]

matchmaking as like sbmm or mmr

[pearl ridge]

Fucked if I know, I think it's just random

[grizzled minnow]

hi. is there a battlefield 2042 companion app?

[pearl ridge]

But it's a clear demonstration of what happens when a skill ceiling doesn't exist.

[grizzled minnow]

i cant find it in the store (germany)

[low timber]

Oh damn, how did I just hit so many headshots with the SWS-10 with the 5x scope

[pearl ridge]

There needs to be an upper limit to everything.

[autumn harness]

no

[ripe hedge]

your name is like that because of Elite, right?

[pearl ridge]

Otherwise, as time goes on, a game will become more and more unplayable as the gulf between normal players and the ones on near-lethal doses of adderall widens

[pearl ridge]

yeh

[ripe hedge]

heh

[royal swan]

Hey Alex

[pearl ridge]

OCE Xbox BF4 is one such place. What few servers still exist here are constantly being dominated by the same tiny collection of players who have not put a single boot on the ground in a decade.

We don't have the population to filter out these types.

[autumn harness]

People who love that part of the game, whats wrong with that

[autumn harness]

Hello, is team maybe considering returning air vehicles to B64? Would rly help with unbalanced tanks in the gamemode rn

[pearl ridge]

And there's quite a lot of people who love actually being able to play shit without some goddamn drooling stoner mindlessly annihilating entire teams without recompense.

[ripe hedge]

the other day i logged in just to see where i left and remembered that im parked near Beagle Point with my Corvette, as my in-game graveyard 😄 It was super bittersweet

[pearl ridge]

Oof yeah that's... wait, What?

[autumn harness]

well just play on other server or infantry only gamemode?

[pearl ridge]

You think I have a choice

If I had a choice in the matter I wouldn't be here talking about it now would I

[royal swan]

Need to get back to bf2042 and t1 railgun before Alex nerfs it to the ground

[mental delta]

Hey Alex how are you ? Any tease for update 3.1 vault weapons please ?

[pearl ridge]

I want 1942 weapons introduced in the vault

But like, you know, properly balanced.

[royal swan]

Nah their animation is goofy

[pearl ridge]

Ya know what just port BFV weapons and we're good

[royal swan]

And they don't have many attachments

[rotund ledge]

something about bf2042 animations makes me cringe

they seem like a downgrade to bf4

[pearl ridge]

The weapon animations are well crafted, it just feels a little too tacticool for me.

[rotund ledge]

but like sprinting with your weapon, that animation feels too jerky and quick

mwII feels much better

[grim crater]

Anyone else struggling with unlocking attachments for the BSV-M? I have like 400 kills and some attachments are still locked 🤔

[winged pasture]

Bfv feels better to play overall

[ripe hedge]

They shoot

[chilly jacinth]

pew pew

[mental delta]

Thanks... I thought they would do backflips

[pearl ridge]

I wish there was more maps in Exodus Conquest. Maybe something less modern for once.

God I wish I had a fliegerfaust. That'd learn 'em

[remote kiln]

do they reload too?

[next onyx]

Do they have funni hyper burst!?

[low timber]

Do they go boom?

[next onyx]

Wait wait wait.

I bet they reload too!

[low timber]

Maybe you hold them with your hands as well

[next onyx]

I could use a g43 like a club!

[pearl ridge]

We do need more DMRs

[low timber]

Lol, the Javelin guide clip still has the old interface

[ripe hedge]

I think I can say that one of them had been fairly requested

[low timber]

An SMG with the same mag as P90 and P50?

[pearl ridge]

Seriously though if I got a Lee-Enfield I would not stop using it

[mental delta]

Ok thanks it's definitely MTAR-21, or M98B, or something else completely different

[next onyx]

Hey Marse does the p90 feel like its velocity is slower than the other subbies?

[mental delta]

Btw do we have a date for 3.1 update ?

[next onyx]

Kinda feels like a hitreg problem at a range.

[ripe hedge]

U have no idea how much I hate that mag

[low timber]

Haven’t used it this 3.0 version but yes

[next onyx]

WHAT!

Alex no...

Why...
