[low timber]

😟

[next onyx]

Marse, Alex broke our heart.

Whatever will we do...

[low timber]

25 kills to T1 SWS-10 Way

[next onyx]

Good!

[low timber]

Then I’ll put the Rorsch in my sniper Loadout and… dunno what gun, crossbow I’ve been using exclusively in Stranded, so maybe start with Rorsch then lol

[next onyx]

Actually might get the AKS done soon.

But I want to play with the scar for a bit.

[low timber]

Btw, the AR-5-7, it uses the P90 mag but it’s still at the front
Should’ve been built to a Bullpup frame for easier reload and longer barrel, at least the MW22 reload on that looks so cumbersome.

[next onyx]

Probably why it hasn't been adopted.

It just looks like some prototype gun that hasn't moved past it.

I think it's cool.

But I think it's also rather... whatever

I should try to sleep it's gonna hit 35C tomorrow.

Take it easy guys.

[mental delta]

AR-57 is ugly af

@ripe hedge sorry to bother you again, but why don't we have a M4 block 3 cosmetic for the M5A3, the weapon would be so much more pretty

[low timber]

A what now?

[mental delta]

M4 block 3 ?

[low timber]

Yus

[mental delta]

You don't know what it is ?

[low timber]

Nope

[mental delta]

Look on Google I don't have image perm to send it here

[low timber]

It’s a gun

[mental delta]

Yes but better good looking than M5A3

[silk surge]

Hale is scrapped content

The final specialist is going to be a different recon specialist. No RC car done 😦

[toxic wigeon]

Good

Lame specialist lnao

[low timber]

The Playercard called Exodus has a description:

Ship’s Manifest:
Task Force - 15. 10 are combat ready
(and so on)
And the game started with 10 specialists, maybe there were planned to be 15 first.

[toxic wigeon]

Just Casper with a ground car instead of air drone

[silk surge]

Damn, that's actually interesting.

[topaz field]

i suggested they made LARS(MR.Battlefield) as the final specialist.... I hope they do this

[silk surge]

True.

They need to bring this back 😦

[warped pulsar]

What do the new players think of the game?

[silk surge]

I love it.

[devout flare]

u troll

[past flare]

serious question

couldn't the devs have just copied and pasted the attachments from other guns onto the portal weapons?

[devout flare]

yes

[drowsy shuttle]

i dunno what the new players think of the game... but i love the new players in the game... easy XP boost 🤪

[devout flare]

no

Actually no

[mental delta]

You're not a new player stop doing that lol

[devout flare]

theyd have to do some sort of rebalance ithink

[past flare]

i was thinking yes at first but i guess they would have done it already

[devout flare]

or the portal guns would be even more out of wack then they already are

[past flare]

you think? I don't see any guns op

wym out of whack

[devout flare]

its easy to just say "Why not just do this" i feel like its probably not that simple

probably also no that complicated either tho

mildly lazy just to make it apear as if there are more guns

[past flare]

I can't think of a reason why it couldn't be done but what do i know

[devout flare]

but i enjoy the xm8 lmg and the A-94 as is rn. both are solid

[fiery solar]

What’s the playercount now since the game is free

[devout flare]

exactly, what do we know.... but also its fun to complain and bitch about stuff so lets just do that

Predtend we are experts

[mental delta]

30 000 players on Steam but will start to decrease shortly after free access ends

[silk surge]

I've only played for a year.

[past flare]

atp i'd take it with a smile. I just wanna see a nutsack on my 74u

[mental delta]

So that makes me a new players too ?

[silk surge]

Yes

[past flare]

WE NEED BIG TITTY MAGS IN THIS GAME

[fiery solar]

Very cool and 128 conquest is always full

[devout flare]

they buffed range on 74u.... its not bad now i played it alot last night

I was also hammered drunk so who knows

but i did ok

...i think

[mental delta]

Yup all lobbies were full when I played yesterday, Portal is pretty empty though, only XP farms in it

[devout flare]

kinda dont remember so well

[silk surge]

I'm convinced that AsheBF is a psychopath https://twitter.com/i/status/1599061663130726401

[mental delta]

I am S025, how does that make me a new player

[past flare]

yea i don't think our opinion matters sincer we're just drunk/high while thinking

[fiery solar]

How do people still xp farm

[gloomy wyvern]

Someone needs to make a video in Bf2042 with pary the platypus theme

[devout flare]

this game is best when under the influence of a substance

makes it more bearable

[silk surge]

Relative to me, you're pretty new

[mental delta]

You mean what kind of process they use to farm ?

[past flare]

another serious question: Thermal Scopes

[fiery solar]

Yes

[mental delta]

Sounds like an insult to me

[gloomy wyvern]

Die, never mention this again

[past flare]

how else do i cope with 85% of the PTSD i get from this game

[past flare]

yo?

[mental delta]

I think it's about ammo boxes and firing, you can't kill people but you shoot with your gun and they probably have a process which makes them earn more XP at once, might be pretty boring though

[gloomy wyvern]

It be abused like GTA -_-

[devout flare]

i agree fuck thermal scopes

[fiery solar]

Another serious question: Shooting through light walls

[silk surge]

I tried BFV on PCP and I ended up feeling the stress of being in an active warzone. Would not recommend.

[past flare]

I'm thinking only snipers and prob marksmen

[past flare]

alright let's settle down now

[devout flare]

bfv is immersive. ive had wonderfull experience high as shit on that game

[fiery solar]

You’ll love bf1 then

The screaming

[topaz field]

playing against this Mackay w/ body armor in TDM yeah i already see aproblem in season 3.2

[mental delta]

Would be even worse on snipers lol

[fiery solar]

Play it on a tv and be up close you’ll feel like you’re there

[topaz field]

dude grapple hooks then armor back up

[gloomy wyvern]

Nope, don't give thermals without bringing back angle armor and making smoke screens as real as they can be in a video game

(Smoke screens create a sheet of heat)

[tardy tree]

i ddont think armour plates should be in the game

its fucking stupidd

[fiery solar]

I can’t find a gadget that I’d actually use so I soflam and armor plate

#1 binoculars user

[gloomy wyvern]

They cared about that title, this one was about making a quick buck

[fiery solar]

This one wasn’t supposed to be battlefield

[tardy tree]

4 more kills and then i get one of my favorite guns yet

[past flare]

what's angle armor? and why not have 2 smokes? I already see a problem with my last staement

[tardy tree]

the xm4

[mental delta]

It's because the game was initially planned to be constructed around HZ or a BR mode

[tardy tree]

yeah im aware

its quite saddening

[fiery solar]

Wish we got that instead

[mental delta]

It's quite shittening

[tardy tree]

ehhhh

[past flare]

imagine forcing 2 people to work together for a sheet of heat and smoke

[fiery solar]

Free battlefield battle royale with weather

[gloomy wyvern]

Angel* used to give armor

[tardy tree]

thye shouldve made hazard zone free

[fiery solar]

Might as well since they won’t update it

[past flare]

yea I hate that nerf. unnecessary

[fiery solar]

None of these new maps look like they care about hazard zone

[mental delta]

There's no XM4 in BF ?

[tardy tree]

wait

[fiery solar]

Just make it free already

[tardy tree]

hang on

oh

xm8

im slow in the head

[gloomy wyvern]

It's not played enough

[fiery solar]

Exactly

So make it free

[mental delta]

XM8 is so fucking cool, I hope they will not nerf it

[fiery solar]

What’s xm8

[tardy tree]

i really hope they add squad management

[fiery solar]

Oh the bc2 gun

[mental delta]

Brutal expectations

[fiery solar]

I really hope we get bombers

[gloomy wyvern]

It still won't be played enough.

If you want hard zone players, convince R6 players to stop playing R6

[zealous heath]

Yeah, the game is finally downloading

[gloomy wyvern]

We already have it

[fiery solar]

The is my favorite game

[tardy tree]

2042 has to be in my top 5s rn

[fiery solar]

Where Bomber

[tardy tree]

especially since its good now

[zealous heath]

Is there any better than this?

[gloomy wyvern]

Somewhere in the words stealth chopper there is a weapon. It's called high explosive bomb.... Could be talking on my ass though

[fiery solar]

I want the dorito one

[mental delta]

Stealth helis are just hell of a vehicle, this shit should have never been implemented in this fucking game

[gloomy wyvern]

It wouldn't be so bad if they would let the soflam do its entire description

[fiery solar]

Stealth helicopters are so cool but annoying cause they’re spammed in hourglass bt

[zealous heath]

Do this game win over the MW2?

[fiery solar]

Yeah it’s cool

[tardy tree]

i wouldnt say that

[mental delta]

Yeah the fact stealth bombers have both flares and anti-detetion system is freaking me out

[mental delta]

Nope

[tardy tree]

you cant really compare bf and cod

[fleet stump]

Nope it didn't work, EA Play installed, I click play, a small window called "Link2EA" shows up without any content, then it crashes

[gloomy wyvern]

Again, if the soflam could do its actual description, a stealth chopper would not be an issue

[fiery solar]

I love using soflam on helicopters

Especially with these new players

They see a lock on warning and end up crashing out of stress

[gloomy wyvern]

But you can't use it on stealth choppers -_-

[zealous heath]

Any tips for me?

[fiery solar]

What can destroy a stealth helicopter

[zealous heath]

What should i know

[mental delta]

Yes, don't play stealth choppers or Sundance they are only made for junkies and cheaters

[fiery solar]

They lock onto ground vehicles and do the same damage as 3 c4

[zealous heath]

I don't understand play?

Are those vehicles?

[gloomy wyvern]

Tanks, if you're accurate

The guy that hacks shit + AA launcher & another AA launcher simultaneously

Two wildcats

Soflam + four regular over the shoulder rockets

[mental delta]

Stealth choppers are undetectable vehicles and Sundance is a specialist

[fiery solar]

Everytime I use soflam not a single person has the thought of equipping m5

[zealous heath]

What is better then?

[fiery solar]

I lock onto a tank killing everyone and my team will probably end up blowing themselves up

[versed vine]

Fuck 2042 talk about bfv

[mental delta]

Use Angel, revive everyone and give ammo and you'll get more points than any other person in your lobby playing an assault specialist

[mental delta]

It's BF2042 channel dude

[fiery solar]

The channel specifically states that this is a battlefield 2042 chat only and any further rule breaking will be reported to moderators

[zealous heath]

Ok, can I still play as a sniper?

[versed vine]

That's the point

[versed vine]

Karen bitch

[mental delta]

[tardy tree]

bro💀

[mental delta]

Yes, there are four of them

[tidal grotto]

How to fix lagging like my keyboard input is not registering

[fiery solar]

Is firestorm more playable than hazard zone

[versed vine]

Tell me I'm wrong

[tardy tree]

no

[fiery solar]

Reset computer entirely

[gloomy wyvern]

Because nobody realizes that the soflam finally communicates with it

[tardy tree]

you are

you look like an utter fool

[zealous heath]

I love sniping, not the mention quickscoping

[fiery solar]

Sniping in bf4 and 5 was my favorite

[past flare]

what's the fix for no computer audio?

[fiery solar]

It was the only time I could get kills and it’s so fun

[mental delta]

Forget quickscoping in this game lmao

[zealous heath]

Why

[fiery solar]

Press ctrl and I and go to sound settings and at the bottom it should say something like more settings and it’ll show all devices click on the one you want to use and it should bring sound again

Or maybe it’s just you have the wrong device selected

Happened to me ever since I kept switching my monitor from my pc to console

[past flare]

it happens sometimes

[mental delta]

Cause it's BF and snipers aren't made for quickscoping, you can no scope if you're close enough and lucky enough but aiming down sights takes too long to allow quickscoping

[versed vine]

Did you use type 99

[pine roost]

I’ve found the point at which snipers gain 100% accuracy is really quick in this

Faster than in v from my experience

[past flare]

having my tv connected to my pc is lowkey annoying when not watching shows

[versed vine]

Sniping is very easy in bf games

[gloomy wyvern]

I use a sg or ak24

[zealous heath]

I don't care. I still wantvto learn quickscope

[gloomy wyvern]

Hip fire....

[mental delta]

Good luck with that so

[pine roost]

Quickscoping would be better than hipfire

[pearl ridge]

While helicopters are the absolute bane of my life, I haven't even had my hair mussed by a jet.

[gloomy wyvern]

I can't get faster than hip...

[pearl ridge]

They're basically part of the scenery in their current state.

[devout flare]

they are good for taking out condors

like really good

but thats really it

[pine roost]

Well hipfire isn’t 100% accurate

[gloomy wyvern]

They're the only things that should have bombs....

[daring granite]

how do i fix random controller input while using a mouse and keyboard

[pearl ridge]

Probably doesn't help that their A2G ordnance is locked behind kills, and there just ain't enough air targets to count that up, assuming you can even hit them

[devout flare]

nah dude stealth heli with bombs makes total sense

lmao

[pearl ridge]

I've seen fighters try to go after nightbirds, it never works.

[devout flare]

transport helo killers

thats all they are for

literally

which if a jets good at doing that it does actually make a big difference

[pine roost]

The 25s are good at taking out nightbird, the 30s feel a bit lacklustre unless you are against another jet

[gloomy wyvern]

I am what you call an aerial nuisance.....😏

But I also play ground, and actually revive

[pearl ridge]

Hitting a moving target is hard enough when they can't literally flip out of the way of incoming fire.

[topaz field]

https://clipchamp.com/watch/jnHaLmuEZoE This mackay outplayed me in every way

[pearl ridge]

I've seen more realistic movement out of Ace Combat

Which is a game where the physics are fucky enough that, with effort, you can fly backwards.

[low solstice]

I'm just wondering why are helis able to get a 100 killstreak.. cmon now, rockets should take them out in 1-2 hits instead of like 10

[tardy tree]

thats

how it works

2 lock on rockets will down a hind

[topaz field]

???

[tardy tree]

you just gotta get them without the countermeasures

[pearl ridge]

I once slammed a stinger into a nightbird only for the damn thing to just kind of... spark. No damage.

[low solstice]

and ig I they heal or some shit?

[hexed mango]

what type of helicopter

[tardy tree]

yes you can have a repair kit on a heli

but still

[low solstice]

Because I spent so long trying to get this mf with 50KD+ down and every time I managed to hit him with Lis's rocket he just flew away and came back full HP

[tardy tree]

if you are coordinated it shouldnt be a problem

[hexed mango]

cause NB and Stealth are really easy to take out, apache/hokum is a little harder but not too difficult and the transports are the harder ones to take out

[low solstice]

and FX-33 or whatever it's called was useless because he just flared every single time and killed me lol

[hexed mango]

so you gotta trick them

get someone to run soflam or rao, and try to bait them to flare

my best advise, Rao+AA Missile

hack them and they can’t flare

[low solstice]

What's rao

[hexed mango]

bro.

the specialist

[pine roost]

The answer to your problems

[low solstice]

😭

So I can take down helis with Rao?

Why did nobody tell me this 💀

[tardy tree]

no

you hack them

then they cant use countermeasures

if im not mistaken

[hexed mango]

Rao can hack things

people vehicles, etc

[tardy tree]

rao is gonna be pushed out into the meta after the class update if im not mistaken as well

isnt he getting buffed?

[hexed mango]

once you hack it they cannot use their gadgets (vehicles)

[crude juniper]

i used rao agains helis they just use countermesures like nothing happaned

[hexed mango]

they didn’t say that, they just said improved communication between team

[tardy tree]

ahhh

[hexed mango]

he will stay in recon tho

so he won’t be able to shoot vehicles with a missile

but the idea is that engineers will see that a vehicle is hacked and shoot at it

[tardy tree]

so you have to do more teamwork

yeah

thats good

[hexed mango]

ye

[pearl ridge]

"Just coordinate bro"
(Game has voice chat disabled by default)

[tardy tree]

then enable it

[pearl ridge]

Nobody else enables it.

[hexed mango]

ong

[hexed mango]

tell them to

[pearl ridge]

Frankly, Rao isn't a recon guy to me.

He's the dedicated vehicle buster.

[hexed mango]

yeah but he does spot people with his ability

even if you don’t fully hack them

[tardy tree]

and i said if your team is coordinated

not

[hexed mango]

but i do agree he feels like an engineer

[tardy tree]

coordinate

[pearl ridge]

Look we can't just chalk everything up to teamwork when the game is designed specifically to stifle it.

We don't even get squad order bonuses anymore.

So nobody places orders.

Also I feel like the Wildcat AA turret turns way too slowly.

[crude juniper]

has anyone noticed that the animations when you sprit are stiff

[pearl ridge]

If a chopper gets up in your face, and he will, you can't catch him.

Also vehicle controls continue to be awkward as hell compared to prior games.

It's super inconsistent about which direction actually accelerates.

[spare quest]

skill issue

[hexed mango]

there is an xp event for capturing an objective that was pinged by the squad leader

[pearl ridge]

Well I've literally never seen it.

[fiery solar]

Last seen in a weekly mission 9 months ago

[pine roost]

AA wildcat is good besides that turret being so slow

All the turrets are too slow

If you take any damage, Liz will see you through walls and you can’t do anything about it

[hexed mango]

you can shoot the tgm

[twin finch]

Throwing Knife is pretty fun

[hexed mango]

quite

[pine roost]

There’s also some wacky acceleration thing on the turrets that makes them feel so sluggish

[twin finch]

Im happy you can pick them up after you threw them

[tardy tree]

just got a 20 revive game on spearhead

first time actually trying medic

[arctic grove]

can someone help me why my pc freezes when i try startup

[tardy tree]

c2 is a fuckfest

[topaz field]

Which map

[tardy tree]

spearhead?

i just said that

[inner creek]

We finally get the christmas MAV!!

[pine roost]

I’m not in the right mental state to play this game it seems

[slate meadow]

why are assists witht eh proxy sensor not counting towards the weekly quest

[tardy tree]

i just killed someone with a repair torch lmao

[tardy tree]

thats what i was wondering

[delicate hollow]

When's 3.1 I am gonna take a fat battlefield break until then

[tardy tree]

i believe december uh

im just gonna go out on a limb and say the 16th

sometime this month i think

[delicate hollow]

More than enough time

Game's been getting on my nerves with the spawn bs. Can't deal with it

[pearl ridge]

The spawns on the exodus conquest maps are really bad

Basically dumps you right in the open

[delicate hollow]

Right? I cannot tell you how many of my deaths from my last few matches were because of me spawning right into gunfire

Arica is the worst offender

[pine roost]

I don’t know what else I’d play if I stopped this

But I can’t carry on man

[delicate hollow]

I should be studying but I kinda want to get into the new NFS

[tardy tree]

new nfs is fun besides cringe dialogue

driving is really fun and the visual effects are eyecandy

[delicate hollow]

The visuals reminded me of most wanted and I was pretty much sold on that alone

[tardy tree]

theres a lot of cool jumps and the map reminded me of mw2012

nostalgic almost

[delicate hollow]

Hell yeah looks like I'm buying it then

[low cypress]

The visual effects in the new nfs make my eyes go crazy

So nice looking

[delicate hollow]

How's the car selection in it

[low cypress]

it’s honestly pretty decent from what I’ve seen

[tardy tree]

car selection is pretty good id say

lots of classics

[low cypress]

Haven’t played much of it since I was waiting for Nvidia drivers to come out

[tardy tree]

my problem is that it eats up my cpu

like real bad

[low cypress]

was I the only one who was seeing buildings and roads completely disappear? Lmao

[tardy tree]

no lol

[low cypress]

ahh you saw it happen too?

[tardy tree]

sometimes

the performance isnnt bad onn high settings its just

cpu usage is through the roof

[low cypress]

the performance isn’t really bad in general

Just..

the roads disappear half the time for me

[tardy tree]

its criterion so they know what theyre doing

itll be fixed

ghost studios honestly shoulde never gotten the rights to nfs

they kinda ruined the franchise imo

[low cypress]

Criterion works on it?

[tardy tree]

the new one yes

they gave them back the studio

[delicate hollow]

Should I even buy the deluxe edition

I see 4 cars come with it but are those unlockable later or something?

[tardy tree]

im really not sure how it works

[arctic grove]

Is there a reaso nto why I cant load up the game? stuck in an infinite loading screen

[tardy tree]

just restart it

usually works for me

[arctic grove]

Doesn't

Happens every time

[hexed mango]

Criterion stopped working on 2042 post launch and moved to nfs

[tardy tree]

ah

[ripe hedge]

And NFS is a BANGER of a game

So fucking good

[tardy tree]

i wish 2042 wasnt rushed

makes me sad

[tardy tree]

on god

i love the new style theyre doing

i wonder if theyll remaster any old games like hot pursuit

i wish dice would post more about 2042 and whats to come

[mental delta]

I hope they work on the next BF game

Respawn is already making the new EA Star Wars FPS game

[tardy tree]

oooh

like a battlefront?

because bf3

that would make me happy

[mental delta]

They posted some things on their website but it's pretty confusing

[mental delta]

Unfortunately no, I would have loved too but it's not a new Battlefront game, I think it's a big project though because they seemed to put a lot of ressources on it

[pine roost]

Well they did just show off the new map as well as the theme of the map afterwards

[quaint tundra]

Hi, i want buy the game, i take basic version or ultimate ? Ultimate is good ?

[mental delta]

Yup, the confusing part is about what's to come for Battlefield as a franchise, they said Ridgeline Games were making a whole new solo experience and according to EA Dice is reportedly making the future of the franchise but idk if that means we'll get a new game or if they were talking about BF2042

[tardy tree]

i genuinely think its so sweet how they said that they would listen and learn from us

they really do care

i really hope zavod comes to 2042

that would be so dope

[mental delta]

If they really listen they know a good 90% of them don't want specialists anymore in the next game and that we all want more maps at launch

[tardy tree]

yeah

i think theyre competent

i believe they could make a good bf game i mean this one is going in the right direction

2042 had so much potential

still has

[mental delta]

It goes in the right direction to truly become a good FPS game, but I personnally think it's too late to be a Battlefield game, they already wasted their chance for this game, no doubts the next one can be a true Battlefield game if they take good decisions though

[pine roost]

Thing is, I want this game to be fun, i really do. With a year of extra time it could be, but if they drop support with it in a state similar to this and go on to make a game that isn’t modern I’ll just be left yet again in the dark

I love modern stuff

Far more than world war stuff

[tardy tree]

yeah i hate the world war stuff

its so overused

[tiny tartan]

why cant you play spearhead in portal anymore?

[tardy tree]

i like how 2042 is kinda futuristic

i think they have good lore set up

they can make a perfect bf game if they just listen

and make it like old ones

[mental delta]

Next game has 99% chances of being a modern game, don't worry about that, the darkest part is about when we'll get to see this next game and I think you can wait a long time

[tardy tree]

with a touch of 2042

[mental delta]

Probably hasn't been added yet

[pine roost]

You definitely can, I’ve been playing portal matches with it

[mental delta]

Probably a bug so

[pine roost]

Well I’ll play a little bit more tomorrow but will probably leave then until the next patch

[tiny tartan]

i think ive been playing the wrong version of bf

💀

[mental delta]

What ?

[tiny tartan]

xBox moment

[low cypress]

World war is always so.. boring

[mental delta]

BFV was interesting and BF1 too

[low cypress]

meh

I played them I just didn’t have much fun in em

[tardy tree]

not at all

[low cypress]

The world war setting killed them for me ngl

[tardy tree]

at list with semi futuristic games you can be interesting

elast

bro

at least

damn

[low cypress]

Elast

At list

💀

[lone void]

At least?

Hol up brain running like a 2005 Dell laptop

[royal swan]

I can say this game is at least worth 40 bucks now. Not 60 but 40. It's better than 20

[steel burrow]

hi guys i'm stuck on the loading screen, is there a fix to this

[royal swan]

Restart

The forever loading screens need a restart

[wide shore]

World War 1 setting in particular is so unique. But I’ve seen this take so many times.

Granted, a lot of it from people who just lump WWI/WWII together. (Not saying that’s what you do ofc) but a lot of people do. Like, “I’m sick of world war settings.” Like, oh, really? You’re sick of a WWI setting? In a FPS game? Literally how.

[royal swan]

I get them the first time I boot up the game, but they work the second time

[low cypress]

I’m not sure really

[royal swan]

That's the starting loading screens

[low cypress]

I’m just not much of a fan for older settings like that I suppose

[wide shore]

There’s like 4 popular WWI games. And 3 of them are from the same series. Lol

[royal swan]

The black loading screens when you quit a match requires a simple restart

[wide shore]

And beyond the wire I guess. But Verdun and BTW are both “realistic” shooters. There’s never been another WWI MP FPS like BF1.

[royal swan]

Beyond the wire is dead right

Dead game

Deado

[wide shore]

I haven’t heard much from it unfortunately

It looked very promising. And a lot more pretty than Verdun/Isonzo/Tannenberg

[steel burrow]

the pc?

[royal swan]

The game

Not the pc

[steel burrow]

i did it a lot of times sadly

[royal swan]

What is this loading screen problem, is it the starting screen

Where it shows the planet but has no loading icon

[steel burrow]

yeah just after launching the game

[steel burrow]

yup

[wide shore]

That’s fair. I don’t find modern war that interesting. Nor futuristic. Idc for 2042’s setting all that much. And I really don’t like Season 3’s weaponry.

[royal swan]

I just restart the game, it 98% works for me

I wait until the planet

It will work when it shows the season 3 background instead of a black background

[steel burrow]

i will try

thanks

[still vault]

If not, there are plenty of threads on Answers HQ with possible solutions from other gamers. answers.ea.com

[tardy tree]

i just took out a condor with the railgun

GODD DAMN

[low cypress]

that’s a fair opinion

[steel burrow]

almost all of them mentioned connection issues which i'm not having any of

[low cypress]

I love the near futuristic or just futuristic setting. the idea of old war just seems really boring to me yk

[tardy tree]

i like nam

and cold war

[upbeat gust]

tbh i think 2042 will go the way that bf4 did

[tardy tree]

cod cold wars campaign was amazing

[tardy tree]

explain?

[upbeat gust]

bf4 had a very rough start, lots of bugs and other things, but then it just slowly started getting better, then went to be one of the best bf games

[tardy tree]

hey after s4 they wont bring any more specialists into the game

[still vault]

Seems unlikely, stuck on loading usually have other responses as well. Might give the search field a try.

[tardy tree]

yeah i think 2042 could be really amazing

[upbeat gust]

we already have enough though

[tardy tree]

but

[wide shore]

It’s easier to relate to history than it is to the unwritten. Things I recognize trigger that familiarity. And if there’s something I don’t recognize it’s easy for me to go and do research on it. Can’t really do that much in a futuristic setting. Especially if the lore isn’t that fleshed out.

That’s not just a problem I have with FPS games either. I find it hard to like a lot of super future space games.

[low cypress]

I’ll be honest

[steel burrow]

Thanks

[low cypress]

The main reason I enjoy the future space theme more is because i love space

[wide shore]

IMO they should’ve ended new specialists this season if they didn’t plan on adding 3 more after season 4. Cause right now, each class has 3 specialists. But after season 4, they will all have 3 and recon will have 4 and that’s annoying.

[hexed mango]

uh what

Assault has 4

mackay sundance dozer zain

[low cypress]

why can’t we just get another assault specialist

[still vault]

[tardy tree]

i wonder if theyre gonna do a full year 2

[hexed mango]

portal 3 will never happen

[tardy tree]

i hope they do

[hexed mango]

no

just S5 is confirmed

[tardy tree]

thats why i said i wonder

[hexed mango]

by the message, they don’t plan on it

[tardy tree]

awe

i hope they have the weather in the next game then

because damn that shit is pretty

[wide shore]

You right. I forgot Zain already titled the balance. Not getting a 4th Engineer & Support still bugs me.

[tiny tartan]

DICE try not to make a bad update challenge (impossible)

[wide shore]

Last few updates have been fine wym

[tiny tartan]

First up no Spearhead on Old Gen

[wide shore]

Really? I haven’t heard about that

[deep pecan]

is it possible to camp on one of the skyscrapers on the last sector on Hourglass with an LATV and just pummel the first sector?

[wide shore]

Maybe. But wouldn’t that area be out of bounds?

[deep pecan]

idk

this server disallow ss so i cannot post it here

[wide shore]

Was somebody doing it?

[deep pecan]

yes

[wide shore]

Interesting.

Next level wussy tactics

[deep pecan]

how to post the ss here anyways?

[wide shore]

Either be a regular (good luck) or server boost

[lilac dust]

Thing is they can't say "The start of this commitment will be season 5" or "We will begin this with Season 5" e.c.t .... Cos they can't promise that far out. They pretty much couldn't have worded that any differently IMO without sounding weird lol

I think there's still hope for season 6

[hexed mango]

yeah that’s my point, they’ve only confirmed up to a S5, which if they don’t confirm a S6 before or dying S5, would mean that they have no plans further

i bet you that the Season 5 dev update will be then talking about update 5.1,5.2 and then saying that this is our final vision for the game

cause that’s an EA thing to do

[tardy tree]

well we have to wait and see

[lilac dust]

I mean considering they just started pre production on season 5 a couple weeks before season 3 launched, I suspect we'll hear about a potential season 6 when season 4 is revealed

[tardy tree]

yeah

[tiny tartan]

wed already be in s5 if dice didn't delay

[hexed mango]

i do hope there is a S6, but at the same time i hope they focus on the next game sooner rather than later

[tardy tree]

they started pre production pretty early

[hexed mango]

the delay was much needed

[tardy tree]

yeah

[hexed mango]

they’ve already technically started pre prod

[tiny tartan]

doesnt make it beter though

[hexed mango]

it does

would you have rather skipped all the updates from Jan-June and gone into S1-4 with no improvements?

i wouldn’t

[tiny tartan]

if the game is so bad that it needs delaying they should have just fixed and brought in new content

[lilac dust]

As much as I wanna say the game should have launched last month, they would still have to spend a year working on the base maps lmao

[hexed mango]

they fixed it, and then brought in new content

[hexed mango]

lol

[tiny tartan]

why not do both in that case

[hexed mango]

also personally i think the feedback from Jan-June was important for the updates as well, as much as i wish they came with those improvements

[hexed mango]

both would be lesser if they did them both at the same time

[tardy tree]

from what i can see the new map in s4 from the concept art

[hexed mango]

i think then focusing on bugs pre season was better than doing both at the same time

[tardy tree]

looks like

some sort of nuclear reactor thing

like a cooling tower

i meant

[hexed mango]

yeah it looks like a facility of some sort, kinda reminds me of exposure in a way

[tardy tree]

reminds me of exposure before the landslide

[tiny tartan]

only if you go by the impression that reassigning the dev studios and leaving a by comparison tiny live service team was a sensible idea

[hexed mango]

yes

[hexed mango]

what

[tiny tartan]

they reassigned most of the people working to other projects

[hexed mango]

not sure what that has to do with it, but again i personally think it’s better that they focused on bug fixes coming back from the holidays in January, because i wouldn’t of wanted to go into S1 without voice chat, a scoreboard, and many other quality bug fixes

[lilac dust]

Likely won't be any room for new weather cos it looks exclusively indoors but we better have some orbital kind of levolution where the reactor blows up

[tardy tree]

i hope to god they just make a good map

i mean spearhead was cool but it needs to be wider

i hate how narrow it is

[lilac dust]

yeah I can see not liking that. I wasn't big on the limited space at first but I do really like how it punishes hill campers that were so annoying on maps like orbital in breakthrough

[mild whale]

when starting up the game for the first time it plops you directly into a single player game before even seeing the menu?

I skipped through all of this and now am wondering how to go back to it

[hexed mango]

i like spearhead a lot

[tardy tree]

that was the tutorial lol

[hexed mango]

wish it had a bit more hills on the side tho

[lilac dust]

Once the rest of the maps get reworked I think we're going to really appreciate that all the new maps are smaller cos I think by season 4 and 5 we'll have a solid ratio of small to big maps

[lost yoke]

Hi

[tardy tree]

i just wish they would pump out more maps after the reworks are done

they already said s5 would only have 1 map

[lilac dust]

I don't mind season 5 having 1 map as long as we get season's 6 7 and 8

[mental delta]

New Portal maps would fair

[lilac dust]

I am a little concerned that season 5 is already just a portal map made for AoW .... I hope it's not an exact map location of BF4 and more just loosely based on a location from the game

[tardy tree]

i hope its an overgrown destroyed zavod

[lilac dust]

I still want portal maps desperately, but it would be cool if season 5 is unique enough to stand apart from portal maps

[mental delta]

It will not lol sorry

[tardy tree]

says in the thing

hang on

[mental delta]

Will probably be fun, I would really don't like it to be Caspian Border like Henry said it

[tardy tree]

"The new Season 5 map coming will be a forgotten battleground that last saw combat in the Battlefield 4 era. An overgrown area, engulfed with vegetation and by the 2042 war. It will encourage a combination of vehicular and infantry combat meaning teamplay is the key to victory."

i mean

think about it

or

[lilac dust]

Caspian border isn't even a possibility lol. It originated in BF3. They mentioned BF4 only

[tardy tree]

no it couldnt be locker nevermind

because it says vehicle combat

[mental delta]

It can't be Zavod cause Zavod was only in BF4 and from what I understood the map had been seen earlier in BF, but I'm not English speaker so I could have gotten it wrong

[tardy tree]

hmm

lemme look at the bf4 map list

rogue transmission?

the satellite ?

[mental delta]

I understood as map which was last seen in BF4 but was as added in a prior game to BF4

[tardy tree]

flood zone?

it could be lancang

[mental delta]

It's a BF4 only map, I mean you could be right but I really understood it as a "traditional BF maps which was last seen in BF4"

[lilac dust]

Even if that's what they mean, that would be so silly to essentially remake a portal map and call it a season 5 map 🤣

They do weird shit, but they ain't that weird

[tardy tree]

yeah

[lilac dust]

Gotta give em some credit lmao

[tardy tree]

that doesnt really make much sense

[mental delta]

I know that's what is a bit worrying lol but anyway I don't think it could be Caspian Border, I started thinking about a BF2042 version of Metro but it seems hard to make it playable with vehicles lol

[lilac dust]

I think the season 4 map codenamed Boulder is potentially going to be a successor to Metro / Locker

[celest oar]

desync throwing animation is back again. They fixed it then it's back, got fixed, back again and It's now present in my game 🤦‍♂️

[mental delta]

Yeah but with vehicles right ?

[arctic grove]

does anyone else use rds snipers in bf4

[lilac dust]

Guess we'll have to wait and see

[hexed mango]

what if s5 is Floodzone

[mental delta]

I meant, did they say if next season's map will get vehicles or not ?

[lilac dust]

Not that I know of

[mental delta]

You mean you don't know or it's no vehicles

[lilac dust]

Pretty sure all they've told us is the concept art of the new map. Nothing else has been revealed IIRC

[mental delta]

Ha yeah the big tunnel, I hope it will be majorly infantry focused

[hexed mango]

it is

[topaz field]

reminds me of danavan peak tunnel in bf3

[twin ledge]

Does the temp xp boosts you get from bp activate automatically?

[lilac dust]

ye

[twin ledge]

wtf

[lilac dust]

Only when active in a match tho

[twin ledge]

Who the hell though that was a good idea

[verbal trout]

what does the SOFLAM do

[lilac dust]

Actually the best idea ever lol. Only continues burning the XP when you're in a match

COD should take notes

[twin ledge]

If it works like in bf4 it lets you paint vehicles so laser guided rockets can lock on

[twin ledge]

Don't get me wrong, I love that it only goes down while in a match but I want to chose when I want to use it

[lilac dust]

I hear ya. That's the one downside to it, not being able to prepare for the best situation where you can take better advantage of the XP

[verbal trout]

yeah it does ok

[radiant prism]

SOFLAM paints vehicles so that any launcher besides Lis’s G-84 can lock on. Basically allows the M5 recoilless to lock onto air vehicles or the Stinger to lock on to ground vehicles in the most common instances, but it also works for vehicle missile targeting (like jets could lock onto a painted tank with AA missiles)

But it’s most prevalent benefit is letting M5 Recoilless rockets lock onto aircraft

[stuck magnet]

Is there currently crossplay in battlefield 2042 between ps4 and pc?

[twin ledge]

It lets M5 lock on? wtf

[radiant prism]

Yep

[twin ledge]

Guess reality is no more

[vague horizon]

yes

[pine roost]

Worked like that in the past

[verbal trout]

very useless tho cuz there are no laser guided GTG missiles in BF2042, which is really bad. I wish they have a version of the javelin

[radiant prism]

I mean, BF has never been realistic lol

[pine roost]

Basically just turns it into a stinger but requires another person

[mental delta]

What ???

[stuck magnet]

In all mods or just portal?

[vague horizon]

its on all modes

[radiant prism]

It’s great for getting teams to take down air vehicles by letting the M5 recoilless lock onto them

[stuck magnet]

thx

[radiant prism]

Not for PS4 and PC I don’t think

[vague horizon]

rly?

[verbal trout]

wait the m5 can lock on to them?

[radiant prism]

With SOFLAM painting yes

Usually no

[verbal trout]

ok thats cool

[vague horizon]

wait in that case im not completely sure, im pretty sure its ps5s that r able to play with pc

[stuck magnet]

okey okey

[lilac dust]

Lmao at people using recoiless in TDM 🤣

[arctic grove]

if people carry a so-flam actively, Jets wouldnt be so useless.

[pine roost]

Why

[arctic grove]

[chilly jacinth]

you mean they would be more useless

[dense hedge]

no

fix the jets

WHEN are tey going to fix the jets

gta v jets feel better than 2042 jets

[pine roost]

I’m hoping soon

[lilac dust]

Well Rockstar are masters of the craft when it comes to all vehicle controls. I wouldn't expect any company to replicate that, but DICE can still do better

[pine roost]

They did better in the past

Just needs some adjustments

[edgy oriole]

[arctic grove]

[lilac dust]

Guys I have an idea ... Instead of the Emoji movie .... They make Pepe the Movie

[lilac dust]

Not sure about that

[edgy oriole]

if your specifically playing through EA i think you can just change the name on the app. ive never done it so idk

[zealous heath]

Stupid app ye

[edgy oriole]

xbox and psn i think you pay for name change

[verbal trout]

Can the SOFAM allow M5's to lock onto ground vehicles as well?

[remote kiln]

i assume you mean the bolte with anti air, the answer is yes, all vehicles can lock onto them with anti air if its targeted by a soflam

[toxic wigeon]

if only

[hexed mango]

mr bean is the most quality content on yt

epic classes will be shown the scoreboard in game

[twin ledge]

Does the xm deal no dmg to heavy armor?

[edgy oriole]

whats xm

[hot rain]

Ik a emote that this server needs

The tryhard emote dance

[safe inlet]

That’s the air burst rifle, right? If so, no it does not

[hot rain]

Bet I like that

[twin ledge]

[hot rain]

Nvm it wont work

[hexed mango]

technically xm could also be the xm8 gun

but in either case no

[edgy oriole]

does xm8 have AA rounds

[safe inlet]

[hexed mango]

it has only sights

and like 2 sights at that

[edgy oriole]

[remote kiln]

yes 0 damage to heavy minor damage to light armour

it's ironically more powerful that it does no damage to heavy since you can kill repair infantry with it

[low timber]

Got SWS-10 to T1 and the next-next round went 32/0 with the Rorsch

Also Ghostmaker R10 at 1020~57/1200

[drowsy shuttle]

Nice. I T1 the ghostmaker some weeks ago, very underrated and its my main weapon along side the BSV that for me is still the best overall weapon in the game.

[low timber]

Few times when I’ve been using it with the explosive bolt in Stranded Breakthrough the enemies have also taken it out, probably gotten them a few times too many with it

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah ghostmaker is awesome in Stranded... mackay + ghostmaker in stranded breakthrough is easily 30 kills

[low timber]

Once half of my kills on a round were from one player alone as they kept going to the same place and thunk they got a piece of plastic explosive sticking from them.

Yeah, on the last sector as an attacker raining down explosive bolts from the ship is nasty.

[sharp marten]

Saw Enders crying about the airburst on Twitter it was pretty funny

[hard geyser]

The gol feels so good. Wish it sounded a little better

[sharp marten]

Pretty much a skill issue

[gloomy wyvern]

I officially requested that any & all XM370A players abuse a tactic I like to refer as: "Role Play E.W.O." from GTA.

I had a player take this gadget, blast their feet, & they got instant kills with this... regardless of the fact that realisticly they would have gone flying up and died.

Can we get an official statement in #direct-communication telling all players to do so?

My goal is to get them to add a ragdoll effect for any and all players whom do this action intentionally. It's as easy as a string of code which says:

If player is 0° from the original 90° standard player state, & has the XM370A equipped in a manner to be used (currently in player model hands).

Then enact "ragdoll mode" w/ reverse blast being initiated on player whom used the XM370A & reduce player model hit points by -50 regardless of current hit point status. (If you are at 49 < 100 then you should instantly die)

[tough spear]

[twin ledge]

What does the siege mode do on the new tank?

[eager spire]

you do more damage but you can't move i think

[tough spear]

[ripe hedge]

How the hell are you people that good I suck st this game (and games in general)

[tacit sphinx]

pretty much, you’re mostly stationary but you can fire significantly faster (and thus have improved damage output)

[low timber]

Time, lots of time

[tacit sphinx]

afaik the shots themselves don’t deal more damage there’s just more of them

[low timber]

But it’s Way who’s the mad man with +100 kill rounds.

[kindred flint]

Youre asking how someone good with a sniper... could perhaps also be good with a hitscan sniper?

[low timber]

I do have SWS-10, DXR-1 and NTW-50 all in T1

Would be easier to say which guns I don’t have at T1 currently

All vault weapons, all side arms except M44, MCS-880, GVT 45-70, Ghostmaker R10, Rorsch Mk4 and NVK-S22.

And of those not in T1 all are at T3 except G57 and Ghostmaker R10 are T2

[kindred flint]

what reloads slower...mcs or gvt?

[low timber]

Reload as in putting new ammo in or cycling to the next round?

[kindred flint]

new ammo

what kind of question is this

and an accompanying thought... you also cant interrupt the reload animation with the fire button on the lever action? like they removed from the pumps

[low timber]

According to Sym.gg (still in v2.2 stats) empty reload is faster on MCS but normal reload is faster on GVT.

[steel briar]

I just got da game, who is the best specialist?

[low timber]

What’s your play style?

[chilly jacinth]

falck

[steel briar]

Very stupid and aggressive

[kindred flint]

just dont pick sundance or mackay

[low timber]

McKay, Falck, Paik

[kindred flint]

reject their bullshit abilities

[low timber]

Sundance as well

[steel briar]

Bet

[kindred flint]

aggressive rao is fun too...that auto spot feature is uhh..fun to abuse

[chilly jacinth]

either Falck with ammo box or Mackay with health box id say

[low timber]

Dozer is under appreciated

[chilly jacinth]

or replace nade for stims

and keep ammo box on Mackay

[low timber]

Like you take 50% less damage from explosives, like that’s big already with how powerful all the explosives are in this game

[kindred flint]

zain mains hate this man

[low timber]

One airburst does 41 dmg

[chilly jacinth]

or 5

[kindred flint]

where is the damage drop off for those

[chilly jacinth]

feels like its completely random sometimes

[low timber]

So you can kill a dozer without needing to reload

[kindred flint]

running enemies are my bane

stop moving so i can kill you easier

[low timber]

Earlier I hit a parachuting enemy with the explosive bolt, but they were a Dozer so they survived

[kindred flint]

thats what you deserve for not using a pew pew gun smh

imagine being in a blast suit...but still dying to a tiny sharp piece of metal in 1 shot

[hexed mango]

Damn i just joined EA Play i dont see no BF2042 rewards?!

[hexed mango]

it’s actually -100

[hexed mango]

you must be blind then

by joining you instantly get the hatchet and a new reward each month, this month was a lis skin

[topaz field]

i want the falck white out skin

i dont see lis skin load

[arctic grove]

I wish Boris's sentry did maybe a liiil more damage

[hexed mango]

was the falck skin a previous month?

[topaz field]

nvm i had to reboot my game

[hexed mango]

lol

[hexed mango]

boris is unfortunately the worst specialist to use

[kindred flint]

instant rewards.... just have to restart

[topaz field]

the hatchet is wack

[kindred flint]

whats the boris passive...sentry gun spots quicker?

[arctic grove]

Yeah it's a shame, wish his passive and his sentry were a bit better

[arctic grove]

"more effective"

like.. huh?

[topaz field]

I just use the damn default takedown fastest

[kindred flint]

ah right

[arctic grove]

More effective how??

[kindred flint]

lol like why even bother playing him

quicker to shoot probably...dont think its more accurate

[arctic grove]

it's like going, Vehicles around lis take explosive damage

it would be nice if it had the rangers gun, but not as strong ofc

[torpid moss]

restarting game fixes the 0xp bug? did that alrdy couple times but I am still not getting xp sadge

[arctic grove]

clear cache? idk im an xbox player

[torpid moss]

am on pc idk

[arctic grove]

I'm enjoying playing lis rn

I build my operator loadouts like the older battlefields, so repair tool, smg etc

Great fun

[tough folio]

[arctic grove]

I sit next to tanks with repair tools and smoke grenades too

or in the back of air transports lmfao

Does anyone plays BF 2042 on older PC?

[topaz field]

So i joined EA play on PS but i dont seem to have access to PC games as well?

[wintry parrot]

Man, dozers tip of the spear skin might be my favourite specialist skin

[tough folio]

does coop level up guns and vehicles?

[topaz field]

nope

[kindred flint]

against bots you can unlock all your guns attachments (id imagine it works for vehicles too?)

[tough folio]

i dont think vehicles because i couldnt get progress for stealth choppers in coop

[hot rain]

Mfs when they blow you up with C5:

[arctic grove]

it does

@tough folio it let's you level up everything but the battle pass

[kindred flint]

oh my god..youtube why are you recommending this jack frags new view, the title is so cringe

[topaz field]

lmfaoo funny it just popped up for me

jack is great

learned about jackfrags duiring Battlefield 3

[pine roost]

only reason I watch him is when he covers some new obscure game that I've not seen before that could be interesting

[tough folio]

does leaving grant you xp

[remote kiln]

yes

https://gyazo.com/0e9739bc0523ce2f785918d13fb2e31c I knew i wasn't going crazy... The pp used to have iron sights in one of the close range scopes

looks like they removed it a season or two ago

[kindred flint]

guess thats too op...having more of your vision blocked by irons instead of just a straight red dot

[violet otter]

How old?

[arctic grove]

I5

[violet otter]

You need to specify a generation or something. i5 models are still being made

[arctic grove]

7 gen to 9 gen

[violet otter]

I mean it will run but probably not ideally

You will probably struggle to hold 60fps on anything lower than an 8600K though

[hexed mango]

if youre next to a turret, it is more accurate and starts shooting faster

[hexed mango]

yeah i think alex said it was unintentional

[kindred flint]

ill just wait for the total boris rework

[arctic grove]

I have 9600k

[hexed mango]

average jackfrags clickbait was just posted

[kindred flint]

I already brought that up smh

17 mins after he posted it apparently

[violet otter]

https://youtu.be/OEcRq2X2kKs

[royal swan]

Yoooooo, on steam we got to 60% mixed for recent reviews

[arctic grove]

Very shit optimised as I see.

[hexed mango]

joe mama just did the impossible...

[hexed mango]

and overall rose to 31%

[royal swan]

We are finally getting more positives than negatives. After a year of pain

[violet otter]

The game is free over the weekend so feel free to try yourself

[hexed mango]

i mean it is a next gen game

unfortunately guys 2042 is not on steam homepage

[royal swan]

I don't think we will ever get overall reviews near positive

[kindred flint]

im not interested enough to see what his clickbait bullshit is...but let me guess "omg the devs clicked the make this game have a free trial weekend!"

[hexed mango]

https://store.steampowered.com/specials/

it is on here tho

[wintry parrot]

Breakthrough on hourglass

[kindred flint]

what content

[wintry parrot]

Help

[royal swan]

Overall reviews at the end of this games life will be mixed, even if they are lucky

[kindred flint]

ok hit escape, then leave match

[royal swan]

We need to get 70,000 positives to even get mixed lmao

On steam

[arctic grove]

All those fuckin review bombers posting cake recipes instead of something relevant lol

[hexed mango]

true

[hexed mango]

farming steam points

[tardy tree]

bro is on the widest monitor known to man

[hexed mango]

steam shouldnt reward points for reviews ngl

[arctic grove]

Agreed

[arctic grove]

Just for a little “40 people found this funny”

[ebon pilot]

49" 32:9 super-ultrawide

[hexed mango]

i do also like that EA is sponsoring streamers to play

[royal swan]

And most of those reviews won't change either because the person quit battlefield, died somehow, forgot they had a review, or they just hate it so much

[arctic grove]

Do you think they’ll stop at S5 if they’re doing so much to draw players in?

[royal swan]

Nah

[arctic grove]

Yup

[hexed mango]

if SWBF2 is anything to say for it, they will

and BFV

[violet otter]

To be fair the game brought it on itself. People shouldn’t have too wait over a year for it to be somewhat playable

[hexed mango]

yet it is, so why not play it

[kindred flint]

it was always playable....but how much time you wanted to put into it was up to you

[arctic grove]

Not necessarily. The game should’ve released functional but clearly DICE had a lot of cons weighing on itself that led to the launch, although yeah cutting back live service like 5 months after release is awful

[hexed mango]

2042 should make a twitch drop campaign to get people to watch streams and play

[arctic grove]

One thing that surprises me is how much better they’ve got with it in just a yeae

[kindred flint]

what if instead of watching a stream with the tab muted..hah get fucked we get rewarded for like actually playing the game 😳

[lilac dust]

DICE Hire this man as creative ideas guy

[arctic grove]

I want them to give me another player card just for playing like they did with S1

[royal swan]

Man used "game sucked at launch so why play it now" like if anyone will listen. If they did, games like no man sky and fallout 76 would be dead and still shit

[arctic grove]

The card where the hokum is being chased by some Apache’s

[violet otter]

Sorry but the first few months were unplayable. Every match was fucked one way or another.

[wintry parrot]

I checked what map it was too late, it put me in hourglass

Never left a game so fast in my life

[royal swan]

Lmao

Hourglass is ass

Hourass

[arctic grove]

Personally speaking, not to disregard your point or say it’s false, I strangely enough never had massive issues on PS5 myself. But then again that’s a console which can be optimized way better

[kindred flint]

i somehow won the hourglass attacking side BT match i got put in the other week lol

like the team goes from unable to cap the first 2 points...to almost steamrolling the rest of the game

[royal swan]

Because people quit matches

[violet otter]

I played on PS5 the game was constantly crashed, had game breaking bugs every match and the the balance was abysmal with SMGs dominating the game

[kindred flint]

that first point is just so fucking painful with enemy squads putting down spawn beacons inside the destructible buildings area around the cap

the gun recoil issue was pretty hilarious ..like did you guys even test this game?

[arctic grove]

Yeah I remember the bloom days. I never crashed extremely often personally tho. Like I said though man just in my personal experience

[kindred flint]

luckily it was patched rather fast...probably in the head start timeframe?

[balmy cloud]

im not quite sure what i expected, but the performance in this game is pretty bad, but im having fun with the game

[kindred flint]

are you on pc?

[balmy cloud]

yes

[royal swan]

Bro they are still doing sponsors, i fucking predicted it, I had a suggestion to have sponsors for season 3 few weeks back

[kindred flint]

look in the #direct-communication channel a couple messages up..they are looking into a high cpu usage issue

EA so poor they need sponsors

[balmy cloud]

i have uh

let me check

oh i have 100% cpu utilization

thats not uh good

[violet otter]

What CPU?

[royal swan]

how would that work when they are poor

[kindred flint]

so theoretically that will get addressed..if dice figures it out

[balmy cloud]

ryzen 5 3600, rx 6700xt

[violet otter]

Yeah 3600 is probably the bare minimum for this game

[balmy cloud]

kind of sad consideirng bfv ran so well, this does have double the players but

[violet otter]

Yeah optimisation is trash

[kindred flint]

theyll blame the increased player number harming performance unless you also get shit performance in the smaller modes

[slender isle]

Both of those had cut content due to covid

[kindred flint]

i mean...didnt 2042 also suffer from the big c?

[royal swan]

This is under a new engine or the same one from bfv

[kindred flint]

new one i thought?

[violet otter]

Updated frostbite

[royal swan]

If it's new then most of the problems are coming from that

[slender isle]

It is an update bfV engine but still not brand new. Basically is brand new though

[violet otter]

Rarely is any brand new. Just iterations

Frostbite has been in use since what Bad company 1 I think

[fiery solar]

Is 2042 free on xbox this weekend

New gen

[violet otter]

Yes

[fiery solar]

It says it isn’t

It’s just on sale

[arctic grove]

I read once on Reddit that the biggest change with Frostbite for 2042 was physics or something, i dunno

[violet otter]

I think you still need Xbox gold for the trial or ps plus

[arctic grove]

It seems interesting but I don’t know what they actually changed with the engine

[violet otter]

The physics feel weird in 2042 especially the portal games

[arctic grove]

Yea it probably isn’t that, me personally I don’t know what physics would exactly mean anyways, I just find it kinda interesting

[hot rain]

Can playstation players play with pc

[arctic grove]

Yes

You can also play with Xbox when you turn crossplay on

[violet otter]

It’s basically how the environment reacts to what you are doing in terms of physics.

[hot rain]

What's good about having nitro is that I basically can shitpost in general

[dire quest]

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

No infantry of course

[dire quest]

Next-gen yes, not Last-Gen

[wintry parrot]

Man, I fucked up never trying out the LCMG much

[hexed mango]

lol

[kindred flint]

yes you did, avoid pkp at all costs

[wintry parrot]

Thing stomps when you start getting its attachments

[kindred flint]

and you can use underbarrel nade when you really want to be an ass

[wintry parrot]

Yeah I tried the PKP but the vertical recoil scared me off

[hexed mango]

pkp shreds if you can hold it down

[kindred flint]

its actually...surprisingly easy to shoot at mid range full auto

like you get that initial climb under control and you can do some work....they nerfed the fuck out of it after launch because it was too much of a laser, then was utterly useless without the bipod

[wintry parrot]

Eh, I run a rattlesnake, BCG, and bipod for my underbarrel

I tried the nades but didn't find them useful

[kindred flint]

youre not enough of a scumbag once you start getting good popping those off at people its....quite fun

[hexed mango]

ive only really used the ugl (besides sfar) on the m5

[kindred flint]

then again i was a casual rifle nade enjoyer in bfv...snap shotting at 100m with it definitely fun

[sharp marten]

128 rush when : (

[arctic grove]

What do u guys want for s4? And beyond 🤔

[sharp marten]

Yes
