battlefield-2042

[upbeat sand]

It helps but you still need to aim

[past light]

Also is it just me or do I like Carbon Series more than T1

[upbeat sand]

Not clicky type

[tame cobalt]

I'm gonna rock recon class when they add classes, finna put some spawn beacon near an uncontested enemy flag and have infinite respawns to capture it

[past light]

I fear you

[obsidian geode]

Gonna look around for spawn beacons now

[upbeat sand]

Give armour plate to support so they can do more risky revives more

[tame cobalt]

[upbeat sand]

Don't worry spawn beacon isn't that common rn (for now)

[obsidian geode]

Oooo ya is revives instant or like you get down and heal them for a sec

[tame cobalt]

Nah they should add a new perk for one of the supports. When they start revive, they should instantly pop smoke on themself

[upbeat sand]

You click e and defibs in your hands auto revise em

It's not instant

Think of it as a bfv revive but you aren't forced into a animation

[obsidian geode]

So like bf1 but you gotta charge the defibrillator

[upbeat sand]

You can also still do the click e cancel

[upbeat sand]

Bf1 sirenge allows you to just tap and revive but the longer you hold down mouse releasing the more Ho they'll be revived with

[robust vapor]

Anyone tried defibbing an enemy?

[obsidian geode]

Okkkk makes sense that’s cool

[robust vapor]

Or does it not work

[obsidian geode]

I hope you can do that you could in bf 1 I think

[upbeat sand]

2042 is a bfv revive and bf4/1 revive in 1

[robust vapor]

Yeah I syringed people in bf1

Shit's funny

[upbeat sand]

Bfv as it's auto and bf4 as it's not a close up

[robust vapor]

When you tried to melee a medic from the front

[obsidian geode]

Can we heal the enemy

[upbeat sand]

Med supplies can heal enemies

[tame cobalt]

it's like a mix of bf1 and bfv tbh,
U don't charge the defib beforehand, u start revive and then the defib charge IS the revive animation, but u can still move around a bit during it

[upbeat sand]

If it exists

Since meds are meds no matter what side

[robust vapor]

Shock trooper

[obsidian geode]

Ok I wanna revive a enemy once for each one I kill

[robust vapor]

Same

Rev killing

[upbeat sand]

Yahhhh no

[obsidian geode]

What’s that oops here let me help you up BANG

[robust vapor]

Here komrad

Lemme halp

[obsidian geode]

I might reinstall BF1 to do that for a bit now too lol

[robust vapor]

BF1 is lit

Wish for more melee weapons in 2042

[obsidian geode]

Yk we have a lot of issues with each Bf but each one has its redeeming qualities

[robust vapor]

Love the toilet pipe in bf1

Able to damage light armored vehicles

[obsidian geode]

Hardline had the wackiest weapons imo

[upbeat sand]

https://youtu.be/0yZLcL-RtIc

[topaz field]

@ripe hedge weapon attahment reset please maybe season 4.1👀

[robust vapor]

Hardline had that couch vehicle

[upbeat sand]

Here's some med gameplay

[topaz field]

lmfaoo epic

[upbeat sand]

Also again it's old as fuc

[robust vapor]

Is hardline populated tho

That's the question

Cause if it is then Christmas sale gonna pog and I'm getting it

[obsidian geode]

Idk haven’t played in a while

The gun selection also was pretty cool imo

[upbeat sand]

N

O

[robust vapor]

[obsidian geode]

Why not

[upbeat sand]

People just don't play hardline

[robust vapor]

It's not like I stick to just one battlefield game oh well

[obsidian geode]

Because it strayed to far away from what Bf is?

[upbeat sand]

Something about the ttk and it not being war mainly

[robust vapor]

I got like 5 BF games to play

[upbeat sand]

People didn't like the payday 2 copvrob

[obsidian geode]

The cop criminal was cool

[upbeat sand]

They only wanted war

[robust vapor]

Focusing on 2042 now cause of season 3

[obsidian geode]

I might just go back to 1942

[upbeat sand]

Oh yeah 2042 has a portal game mode where you get to play as the
Bf3
Bad company 2
And 1942 classes

A don their maps

In full hd

[jovial quest]

Gm everyone

[upbeat sand]

BUT NO ONE USES IT

[obsidian geode]

Wait why that sounds sick

[upbeat sand]

CAUSE THE ENTIRE SERVER BROWSER IS JUST XP FARMS AND HARDCORE

[obsidian geode]

I wanna play a new ww2 bf game in 2022

[upbeat sand]

ALSO YOU DONT GET ANY SKINS OR PROGRESSION

[robust vapor]

Gotta one shot everything

Even with that syringe gun

[ripe hedge]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[upbeat sand]

The portal classes and game mode are not made by dice

The last game classes, vehicles and everything are made by ripple effect

Aka DICE LA rebranded

[jovial quest]

long time no see Alex

[obsidian geode]

Is there a super cool 50cal gun in AR, Sniper, sidearm?

Or what’s the oldest gun in the game!

[upbeat sand]

ARs:

M5a3 (future M4)
Ak-24 (future ak-94)
Sfar m gl (Future Scar H with a integrated grenade launcher
Ac-42(new high rpm burst fire gun
Am40 (close range ar that is a mix of smg)

Then vault guns

Which are weapons from past games

[ripe hedge]

No 50cal yet BUT there is a 20mm sniper 🙂

[upbeat sand]

Which are

M16
ACR
A-91

[obsidian geode]

Wait you’re a designer have you personally designed any of them?

[low timber]

Now the two people can stop arguing which ammo type it uses

[obsidian geode]

Or is it a group process per gun

[west raft]

Ohhh it's a 20

Shreds either way

[upbeat sand]

Did you know that 2042 had a dedicated zoologist to help make the penguins

In breakaway

[obsidian geode]

And @ripe hedge if you would push for a futuristic Mp40 style gun I’d forever be in your dept

[robust vapor]

Gilboa Snake DBR when

[ripe hedge]

i have been involved in all of them yes, its a group effort 🙂

[upbeat sand]

It's in the credits

[upbeat sand]

*(put a 100000 drum mag on the Gvt)

[obsidian geode]

That’s cool which one did you work on the most or what part did you work on?

[atomic musk]

So is 2042 free for pc players now?

[next onyx]

Give the GVT buckshot!

Uh it was free to play for PC for the weekend.

[upbeat sand]

Think you missed it

[next onyx]

Please for the love of god please give the GVT buckshot.

[low timber]

Can it even fit?

[atomic musk]

I already got it for my xbox

[next onyx]

I don't want to try to clap heads with that thing.

[obsidian geode]

Sulphur rounds 😈

[atomic musk]

I don’t have a pc

[next onyx]

If you believe it can.

[ripe hedge]

It better does, MUCH bigger than 50cal

[upbeat sand]

That's cause gamepass

[atomic musk]

Ohhh

[robust vapor]

You clap people easier with the explosive bolt r10

[next onyx]

Like look.

[robust vapor]

[next onyx]

Fitting it in shouldn't be too difficult.

[obsidian geode]

Even better

[next onyx]

But the other issues that crop up? Yeah that'll probably be a bit of a problem.

[upbeat sand]

If that's the NTW then that thing is basically a better version of the BOYS AT RIFLE

[past light]

Good lord how big do you need bullets

[ripe hedge]

Yes

[obsidian geode]

Omg imagine a vault door gun sniper in this Battlefield

[low timber]

Like the pic where someone shoved a buckshot to a Desert Eagle?

[next onyx]

Yes.

[obsidian geode]

[low timber]

Kinda want a Desert Eagle again

[upbeat sand]

But it's still basically a boys so like the bfv type

Slow reload, slow ads, slow bullets, slow movement when ads and bla bla

[obsidian geode]

But a vault door sniper that could chest one shot imagine 😭

[upbeat sand]

The only upside is it 1 shots and thats it

[idle lion]

Hey ea man any word on the cpu usage bug?

[upbeat sand]

It has the same velocity has a lever action

[next onyx]

He works on the weapons.

[upbeat sand]

Or slower

[upbeat sand]

Please be patient

We are near the next update

[next onyx]

I need to be up in the morning.

Ree.

[obsidian geode]

It is the morning

[upbeat sand]

1am

[obsidian geode]

7:11

[upbeat sand]

So technically yes

[next onyx]

We are in the future.

[robust vapor]

Taurus Judge

[idle lion]

1 am here

[robust vapor]

[low timber]

Seems like you’re already celebrating Finnish 🇫🇮 Independence Day

[obsidian geode]

Wow I’m talking to all the none American peeps rn

[upbeat sand]

I LIVE IN THE extra F U T U R E

[obsidian geode]

What a relief

[primal geode]

Sorry for the lame question. But whats the right place to report a bug? Its a Portal Server Browser issue

[next onyx]

GO AWAY VICTORIAN.

REEEEEEEEE.

Uhhh The Forums.

[upbeat sand]

Laughs in NSW

[next onyx]

Still the same in my eyes.

[obsidian geode]

🇨🇦

[upbeat sand]

Fine I;l move to ACT

[arctic grove]

why are my jet ATG not hitting the tanks they're fired at? it just hits the ground next to it

[idle lion]

Fair enough as long as they deliver it soon ill be happy to be patient but some more communication would be nice

[low timber]

Do you hold the lock?

[upbeat sand]

Then watch scomo shit his pants again in maccas

[obsidian geode]

Cant wait for mackay

[arctic grove]

i fire the second it's red

[upbeat sand]

When is scomo being added into 2042

[obsidian geode]

He can use a sniper right?

[low timber]

And after that?

[upbeat sand]

His trait can be macdonald shitting

[idle lion]

Lmao

[arctic grove]

nope i pull up since it takes so long to get red i am like 200 ft above the ground

[idle lion]

Scomo specialist

[primal geode]

Which ones? The official EA ones? Thanks!

[next onyx]

Yeah EA forums.

[low timber]

That’s the problem, the AGMs aren’t fire and forget, you need to keep the lock until the missile hits

[upbeat sand]

Yes but if you do

I'llcall you a selfish scum who uses frontlines as a back sniper

[obsidian geode]

I’ll take it

I want my game to download so I can get him

[idle lion]

Who was the guy who was leading the west coast of aussieland @upbeat sand

[primal geode]

Thanks!

[upbeat sand]

Makay is unlocked at level 15

He isn't a instant

[past light]

You can play it on GeForce Now you know

[idle lion]

And suffer

[obsidian geode]

I’m sorry id rather wait I have country net

[past light]

TRUE LOL

Also I am proud to announce I finally got the game so I can assert dominance

[idle lion]

Due to the recent 100% usage bug gfn is hit really hard

[obsidian geode]

I just got it too

[past light]

Granted not before I dropped 150 kills with the G57 against Intermediate bots

[idle lion]

💀

[obsidian geode]

Wait this game better not be full of bots

I’ll scream

[past light]

It was the bot mode

[low timber]

Last time I saw bots was back when 128p BT was a thing

[idle lion]

You can play with bots if you want to

[obsidian geode]

Never will

[upbeat sand]

Your first match is a totorial bot knot

[past light]

It still is

[obsidian geode]

Not unless bots allow you to complete like camo challenges lol

[upbeat sand]

I wanna pee in a hot topic

[idle lion]

Which if the game is fully downloaded you can just quit out of

[past light]

I did that when I saw the first sign of trouble lol

[obsidian geode]

Lol

What the hell

[limpid pond]

I haven't seen them for the past week straight

[obsidian geode]

What is the most disrespectful thing you can do

Or annoying

[limpid pond]

No idea

[upbeat sand]

Skins in the game are split into 2 types

Paid skins and unlocked skins

Unlocked skins are a bit intresting

[limpid pond]

But how is that disrespectful or annoying

You just grinded a skin is all

[obsidian geode]

Ya lol

I wanna ruin someone’s day

[upbeat sand]

All specialists have a half way there skin then their main skin which is the T1 skin that needs a ton of grind

[limpid pond]

T1 skins aren't even remotely hard to get

[upbeat sand]

Example makay's major skins can be unlocked by getting height advantage kills

[limpid pond]

A ton of grind? You can do two specialists per day

[obsidian geode]

What would I have to do to make someone turn of their pc or console

[arctic grove]

I enjoy my Hokum/apache/SU-57 paid skins, They're really good.

[upbeat sand]

You need 3,200 k to unlock the skin I think

[obsidian geode]

Off

[upbeat sand]

Or 120 for the t4 skin

[limpid pond]

Yeah that's not hard.

Especially if you play bt

[upbeat sand]

From a height advantage specifically

[limpid pond]

Literally free kills

[upbeat sand]

You must be ON T O Pof them

[limpid pond]

Manifest is the easiest map to master Mackay on

Just grapple to a crane and boom free kills

[obsidian geode]

So

Grapple to crane and snipe

Gotcha

[arctic grove]

[limpid pond]

Well if you snipe it'll take forever. Use a lmg

[upbeat sand]

For my id grapple on top of cargo boxes and shoot people from under

[delicate hollow]

Wish I was on top of-

[upbeat sand]

I already have t1 makay

I it rao and Irish as well

Now who do I do

[limpid pond]

Everyone has t1 Mackay

[upbeat sand]

Who is the next t1

[obsidian geode]

So lmg is better at long range then sniper?

[upbeat sand]

No

[limpid pond]

Only person I don't have t1'd is zain and lis

[obsidian geode]

So why should I use a lmg

[upbeat sand]

Playing makay lets you remove the ads speed limit that lmgs have

[limpid pond]

Nope but you're more likely to miss shots with a sniper and waste time tryna kill someone then shooting them quickly

[obsidian geode]

Nah I snipe religiously

[limpid pond]

I mean if you wanna do it I expect you to have Mackay t1ed today then

[arctic grove]

L96 with holy water?

[limpid pond]

Thats how I did it. I t1d Mackay in like 12 hours

[obsidian geode]

Kar 98k or lee en field

[arctic grove]

Bolt action boi noice

[obsidian geode]

It feels nicer like you have to have a rhythm

[arctic grove]

she said

[past light]

I hope EA won't kill me cuz I RP as Angel now

[west raft]

Huh

[limpid pond]

Who rps as angel

[obsidian geode]

So what is considered the best sniper? That is bolt action

[limpid pond]

People still rp at all?

[arctic grove]

Probably something German made

[obsidian geode]

Hopefully

[limpid pond]

I would have to say sws

[obsidian geode]

German stuff always looks better

[arctic grove]

bolt actions don’t jam and usually something bigger than 762.5

[obsidian geode]

There’s no two distinct best snipers like in BfV?

Well for player killing

[arctic grove]

Like Bar or 308 would be nice

L96 is my fav

[obsidian geode]

Has it made a return?

[arctic grove]

Jet ATG doesn't make sense

it should be fire and forget

the range is barely enough to do a lock and barely pull up before crashing

[obsidian geode]

Lol climb higher

[arctic grove]

how tf do you hold on top of it

[obsidian geode]

Then dive down

[arctic grove]

nope BF is run and gun SMG no recoil just pull down fun shooter. Snipers won’t be meta

[arctic grove]

I came from 900 alt

[obsidian geode]

Oh? Type of plane?

[arctic grove]

SU-57

[obsidian geode]

Should be good idk what you’re doing wrong those are like pretty good jets

Or atleast irl they are

[obsidian geode]

Does stodeh do his sniping series on this game?

I’ll just check

Omg yes hopefully he’s as helpful as he was with BfV

[low timber]

You can stall in the air

[obsidian geode]

Ok you guys lied unless it got nerfed the one shot sniper has not bad ads I deal with worse on cod

[arctic grove]

bruh anyone down to run dual jets 😐

we kill a tank/wildcat each strafe

[obsidian geode]

Would if my game was downloaded

[spiral folio]

You'll get way more one-shot kills with the DXR by being more accurate than trying to get close range shots with the NFT50

[obsidian geode]

That sounds like a cool gun name like I’ve heard it before

[spiral folio]

And hell if your goal is close range 1 shots, the crossbows better for close range accurate kills

[robust vapor]

Lmao nft50

Ah the r10

The explosive bolt is good for sneaky sniping

[obsidian geode]

Trick shot with crossbow

[robust vapor]

They may hide but they explode soon after

[arctic grove]

the nft50

i am gonna screenshot it

[spiral folio]

Id rather have a .50cal sniper even if it means no damage to tanks

[robust vapor]

M82A1

[spiral folio]

Like m95 or more ideally m107

[obsidian geode]

How about we bring the HDR to Bf2042

[robust vapor]

AS50

[spiral folio]

M107 is semi auto

Rumor is theyre adding the xm109 which is some 25mm grenade sniper "payload rifle"

[obsidian geode]

Sounds cool is there flame rounds?

Some cool stuff that breaks some laws

[spiral folio]

Who knows. Its listed as some squad reward

Well the irl one was paired with the xm25 and both could fire grenade rounds like the xm37 airburst

[arctic grove]

Bruh

where Can I find a fellow jet enthusiast :(

I need a Duo so I can kill tanks in 1 strafe

[obsidian geode]

I do everything in Bf lol

If there’s a play style I’ve done it most of the time

[arctic grove]

have you tried the acquire and fire

[obsidian geode]

Idk what that is yet I’m downloading 2042 for the first time

I’m hype for all the new stuff to grind for

[calm bison]

Laze and blaze

[arctic grove]

Ayyyy

[chrome harbor]

Did they nerf the 45-70? It’s not a 1 hit headshot at longer ranges anymore

[arctic grove]

45-70>?

[calm bison]

The lever action

[grizzled whale]

the GTV

[wintry parrot]

So what do you guys think the steam numbers will be like after the freeplay weekend ends?

[stiff pollen]

4

~4 players

[still vault]

As long as I can still easily find a server as I have since release I don't care

[pale mango]

probably lower a bit but i feel like a fair amount of people will buy the game

[wintry parrot]

I do wish xbox and playstation had visible player counts

[pale mango]

i just multiply the steam charts by 3

and assume that’s the player count

though there is probably more console players than pc

[grizzled whale]

5k maybe

10k tops

[low timber]

Can’t say for certain as Sym.gg’s yet to update, but my guess is that they reduced its HSM from 4x to 2x.

[pale mango]

i was thinking like 10-15k tbh

[wintry parrot]

I know 2042 is one of the most played games on xbox right now, least according to the microsoft site

[pale mango]

i imagine game pass is helping that

[robust vapor]

VCAR is lit af

[pale mango]

goes hard

[wintry parrot]

The VCAR is lit yeah

[kindred flint]

if you use an auto clicker

[robust vapor]

ey lmao what auto clicker

[stiff pollen]

Just click faster

[robust vapor]

exactly

gotta click fast

[tame cobalt]

Do u think i can get some kills i 2042 while high

Who wanna bet

[mental cave]

ill take that bet

i’ve pulled it off

[past light]

...other than super long waiting times on GeForce Now, BF2042 on a school Chromebook is actually kinda fun

[mental cave]

lmao wtf

how did you manage that

[past light]

DDoS

[mental cave]

ur school must have some meaty chromebooks

[past light]

It's cloud gaming bruh

[mental cave]

oh

[still vault]

@south vine Your post got caught in the spamfilter as it was quite long. You might want to leave very long feedback like that on Answers HQ 🙂

[pine roost]

It’s a shame my uni blocks all multiplayer content

[mental cave]

still wtf when i was in school we had the chromebooks that couldnt run chrome

[pine roost]

Don’t know whether it’s intentional or a byproduct of the system being made the way it is

Kinda strange given that multiplayer games form a large part of the course

[past light]

Aaaaaaand now it's 217 people ahead of me in line goddamn it

[mental cave]

i used to just use a VPN

they were always already downloaded by the teacher for antivirus i think it was avast

[royal trail]

i use expressvpn which edward snowden tell people not to use

I mean he isnt wrong

Mullvad is one of the only truly good vpns

[royal trail]

expressvpn got the fastest and most reliable servers ive tried

but idk

[past light]

and right now he's somewhere up in Wales

[shell willow]

It can have speed and reliability, but it sells your data. No better than rawdogging it.

[shell ermine]

MozillaVPN

Also if you are using a chromium browser please go home and rethink your life.

[royal trail]

nordvpn had a server hacked for a while and they tried to hush it down

so who can u trust

[still vault]

Only one thing to do, make your own vpn, that vpn use a public vpn and that vpn goes through a third vpn into a tor node. Wont be for gaming, latency will be hell, but it will be somewhat secure 😄

[royal trail]

lol nice one

i use express because i can play games like bf2042 with it without any problems

[mental cave]

i use surfshark lol

and i use brave browser with tor

not like it matters my SSN has probably already been leaked lets be real

[tame cobalt]

Getting some kills on Spearhead

[slow tulip]

So use Nord vpn?

I would rather host my own vpn for public wifi

[celest sinew]

1000+ metre shot with the new tank

[upbeat gust]

this thing is basically just a point and click adventure game

[celest sinew]

It might be, but its stupidly fun

Hit another 1000+ shot on a jet in the same game

[upbeat gust]

its fun

but not for the enemy team

[royal swan]

Add mortars, or add a rocket launcher that functions like a mortar like in bfv

[grizzled whale]

that wasnt 1000m but nice shot

[royal swan]

I'm surprised most people didn't know that bfv had a mortar, or a mortar function with the spring propelled explosive

[topaz field]

armor superiority?

[topaz field]

lmfaoooooooo

I loved it

[royal swan]

It had the red dot on the map to prove the mortar function

Add that or add the mortar we have a love hate relationship with

[tame cobalt]

Jamming some 2042 with a high

What's the meta guns rn

[royal swan]

Railgun for sniper

[tame cobalt]

Prolly still bsvm

Did bsvm get nerf since s2 started?

[royal swan]

Sfar is still goated

The Glock is better than some of the smgs

[tame cobalt]

Bruh

[royal swan]

Glock is number one sidearm

[upbeat gust]

fr

the burst's ttk is crazy

[royal swan]

Not even season 3 or 2 sidearms can beat it

And Alex wants to buff it even further

[arctic grove]

Why is Andrew tate a specalist in Battlefield 2042?

[royal swan]

That was the main joke for season 2

Andrew tate specialist

12m is still strong apparently

Msc880 still underperforms but isn't terrible

The new shotgun is powerful but that reload

It's fucking slow

You know that other marksman gun that no one uses is actually decent

The one with a drum mag

[unkempt mist]

hello, I have an error, I'm from xbox series S and when I want to enter a game it finds it but then it sends me to the menu

[sharp marten]

TBH I’m not a fan of the 3round burst I wish it goes full auto

[spiral folio]

Just tapity tap more

[tame cobalt]

Tru

[spiral folio]

The ac42 can pretty much be full auto if you just keep clicking

Burst is way more controllable though

[topaz field]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AMNSaskhUQ check out my NWT montage yall lol

[royal trail]

i know someone who used to work for the police force and they called the glock lightweight and a girl gun. seems pretty sexist to me

[pale mango]

average police officer

god forbid people want a cheap and reliable sidearm

[west raft]

Bet he carries a hellcat like a nerd

[safe inlet]

idk I personally love mini-P90

And the NVK is almost a Glock clone, almost

[halcyon hinge]

Does the Year 1 Pass cover every season released so far?

[balmy cipher]

We need to take ai out of the conquests maps

Ppl are abusing the system and making maps so they can learn how to spawnkill 24/7

[spiral folio]

9mm shoots the same speed no matter what weight the frame is

[pale mango]

people will always have some xp farm regardless of what you do

[balmy cipher]

It's not xp farming

[spiral folio]

The only thing that impacts velocity is barrel length

[balmy cipher]

It's people figuring out spawns easier than they should

[pale mango]

ohh

[spiral folio]

Police carry glocks cause if you're gonna carry a gun all day, the glock is like half the weight of a 1911

[balmy cipher]

The ai copies the same spawn as regular players.. they also take same paths

To get objectives

[dapper river]

Oh no, people with half a brain figured out the spawns, woe is me

[grave vigil]

AK24 best all around AR for anyone that is struggling to find the gun that can do it all

If you're in a solo bot battle you have to sometime engage a flag or the bots wont push it

Speed is life

Ppl spawnkilling is one not being fixed fast enough not to hurt the community. And to is the sorry set of skills I've ever seen be abused by having bots in a game🤣🤣

[arctic grove]

was actually trying to figure out the best attachments for the AK, anything I can take note off?

[spiral folio]

I don't get the ammo capacity of the nvk p125 cause like its a bullpupped pistol and it has less capacity than the ruger or FN 57

Can you unlock bigger mags?

[balmy cipher]

Bots are making it easier on these troll jobs Aka spawnkillers who can't run and gun

And some rush maps are backwards like what the point of playing if there's 10 plus snipers facing the 1 ridge u need to get over🤣🤣

[pale mango]

look up enders’ video on it

he made a video for best attachments for each gun

[dapper river]

I prefer standard issue and standard issue drum mag ¯_(ツ)_/¯
or any other AR than the AK-24, the slow rate of fire really hurts it IMO

[balmy cipher]

I could understand having the defender's on the high ground but nope bf devs don't learn from their own games😅

[safe inlet]

Competitive play in shooters literally is this

Competitive players have spawns memorized, and if you can’t counter

You’re dead

[dapper river]

defenders on stranded, renewal, kaleidoscope, hourglass, most rush maps really, all get high ground ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[balmy cipher]

Which I feel is 50/50 between spawn placements and bots

[safe inlet]

If people really wanna learn how to spawn camp a 128p battlefield map, I will applaud them if they’re successful tbh

[balmy cipher]

There a few maps I can't think of the names 🤣 that have a ridge right after the first sector and once u get over the ridge it's instant ☠️

[safe inlet]

There’s def some maps that have bad spawns all around

[balmy cipher]

Meaning because the attackers have the low ground the can always have u on target before u can find them..

[safe inlet]

On Caspian Border Rush, you can hypothetically spawn kill the attacking team if you can range that far with snipers and tanks on the first sector

[remote kiln]

easy just kill the other 64 players

I do it everyday

[safe inlet]

[balmy cipher]

Idk bc getting killed in my home base 2 secs after I spawned doesn't seem right 🙃

[spiral folio]

Or 0 seconds

[safe inlet]

Home base should at least have dedicated objects, like a small fob or something

[balmy cipher]

Having zero chance to not be killed before aiming down the sights due to a mothe loving g animation

[safe inlet]

So that it’s harder to spawn kill someone

[spiral folio]

If i see somebody spawn in far away i wont usually take that shot

If its like sub 20m yes

[balmy cipher]

But have u ever sniped while playing bots.? It's like going to a target practice on steroids...

[safe inlet]

I feel like people learning the spawns isn’t too big of an issue, because it’s in impractical skill in most matches. but an easy counter is to just add objects in the spawn that you spawn behind.

[mental cave]

I cant tell if the new map is good or not because no matter what side i play on my team absolutely dominates in breakthrough. I think these new players playing attack are too scared to roll the tanks into the objective

[spiral folio]

Shooting bots is practice

[safe inlet]

Fr? Half my matches are at least half an hour

And the other half…

Yikes

[balmy cipher]

I feel opposite it is Tellin snipers exactly where to be on target in the scopes.

[wintry parrot]

The freeplay weekend for pc is over right?

[mental cave]

yea, when im in attack we steam through all the objectives and when I play defense we spawn kill the living hell out of them

[balmy cipher]

In unrealistic methods.

[dapper river]

yes

[balmy cipher]

Takes no skill to memorize bots spawns and use them against real players

[safe inlet]

I definitely understand the complaint about it. At the very least every home spawn in maps needs to have cover you spawn behind.

[balmy cipher]

Or memorize the exact distance and where ur scope needs to be to kill folks

Let say the run out bullets so the find methods to not run out bullets..

Instead the old trial and error, we all had to think on; of what not to do in real time

[mental cave]

the rail gun point and shoot go crazy on pc

most headshots ive ever gotten with a sniper

[spiral folio]

The DXR will do that quicker

[wintry parrot]

Damn, still 15,000+ players online

[spiral folio]

And can mount actual scopes

[balmy cipher]

Railgun=nobulletdrop=noskill

[dapper river]

but... game's DEAD

warzone KILLED it

[wintry parrot]

Thats pretty good, since usually peak hours on steam are 1 PM GMT for me, then it tapers off to 7-9,000

[balmy cipher]

I have no problems finding a hardcore server's

[mental cave]

warzone is actually good this time, i like the new physics of mw2. long range scopes actually have recoil now

[balmy cipher]

Meaning if they're are here so is the official community

[wintry parrot]

Dice ur game is not dead like I said it was and I want a refund

[balmy cipher]

Warzone has it perks in varieties of weapons

But I think eventually after the stability patches this game will come the same level

[shell ermine]

That's honestly one reason why as I've gotten older and had kids I've been typically playing COD more than BF. I can fit in a 10-15 minute match of COD more easily than a 20-40 minute match of Battlefield.

[balmy cipher]

Bro I got kids and still play hours it's called tell ur baby mommas to let u play longer

Don't make it shorter for everyone else😅

[shell ermine]

I actually like being a good father

||lmao||

[balmy cipher]

When game are 20 minutes I'm like 😒 guess I'll get that buckaroos next times..

[shell ermine]

Battlefield is my nighttime/weekend scheduled gaming time game, COD is my "whenever I have free time" game.

[balmy cipher]

No u didn't 😂 I'm a great father but I also know how to coordinate time to get my relaxing time in

When the little are asleep I 🎮

[mental cave]

i also have limited time mostly weekdays only ill have like 2-3 hours depending on the days. I work, train, and go to school

[next onyx]

My friend who's a father would play with us even when taking care of his kids.

[sharp marten]

I’ll play and take care of you my son

[balmy cipher]

I've played the game while feeding my kid🤣🤣

[next onyx]

I can take care of my self reeeeeeee.

[sharp marten]

YOULL DO AS YOUR TOLD

[mental cave]

its pain when you have to leave mid game on conquest cus you dont have the time

[shell ermine]

I hear too many babies crying in the background on mics.

[balmy cipher]

If y'all ain't got a 💩 🪣 ur not doing it right

[next onyx]

I can live off bread ham and cheese with games.

[mental cave]

yes colonel

[sharp marten]

Way wants to eat like Germany just invaded

[next onyx]

Funny people calling me a shit bucket when I kind of do have a life kek.

Ham and cheese sandwiches are the best of the comfort foods.

[shell ermine]

If BF had splitscreen online I'd definitely have my daughter play with me. She's only 5 and 100%ed Yoshi's Crafted World and beat SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom. She'd probably be a better Battlefield player than half of my random squad mates now

[mental cave]

“kind of do” isnt very convincing way

[balmy cipher]

Sex=- kills/ no sex=+ kills

[sharp marten]

Do you no have a shit bucket?

[next onyx]

Keep it sfw please.

I don't.

[next onyx]

I am studying lol.

And going to the gym.

[balmy cipher]

Promoted!!!!

[royal trail]

bro, do u even lift

lol

[next onyx]

I guess.

[balmy cipher]

His controller from 9-5

Lol jk

[mental cave]

i had to stop lifting

[royal trail]

lol way i was joking

i am the most slack guy around here

[mental cave]

immense amounts of injury from martial arts makes that shit miserable 🤣

[next onyx]

I'm sorry I can't read the context of a joke or not online.

[safe inlet]

So what if I said SCAR bad, but jokingly

[mental cave]

i swear if i do a bench press my arm will dislocate

[next onyx]

Don't you train for stamina or muscle?

[grave vigil]

Yes so I use the following: scope = fusion holo and a longer range scope; ammo = drum, 40 mag, and high power; grips = one that improves aim while moving (mostly the one always attached) and one that improves handling when ADS; barrel: warhawk comp, wrapped suppressor (I use most often), and extended barrel. With this setup I dropped 110 kills yesterday with very little deaths on the new map on breakthrough

[next onyx]

I will have to join your game and end you.

[safe inlet]

[next onyx]

Nah I actually don't care.

I fucking love this.

[safe inlet]

1v1 me M5 Recoilless only

[next onyx]

Who knows.

[midnight hawk]

when do the weeklies refresh?

[balmy cipher]

So can I get hoooooooyaaaahhhhhhhhhh?

[next onyx]

Every Tuesday at 22:30 AEDT for me.

Hooo

[midnight hawk]

weird you'd expect Monday for something called a "weekly"

k thanks

[mental cave]

mostly cardio, for strength what ill do is just shadow box with weights or resistance bands and bodyweight exercises. nothing crazy and some other stuff to condition knees that my coach has taught me to do

[silk surge]

I'm a horrible person....

[next onyx]

I guess cardio in a way could be stamina too.

HAHAHA.

I did that tonnes of times back at 5.

[royal trail]

i think ive made people believe im a crazyperson the way ive been powerwalking the same rout over and over again in regular clothes

[mental cave]

im 5’11 and compete in 135lbs. So i’m not a very muscular person 😩

[low cypress]

No fair how come you get this version

I want give meee

[next onyx]

[low cypress]

no fair

Why do mods get access to the good ones

ah yes of course lmao

[topaz field]

i've been playing alot of TDM

helps improve your aim

[royal trail]

i kept seeing the regulars at restaurants and stuff and i just walked by in a high tempo every day

lol

[low cypress]

TDM is a lot of CQC

So I’d assume so

[dapper river]

and I have FUN doing it

[low cypress]

I mean if they are having fun what’s the point of whining?

[kindred flint]

Devs adding another dumb weapon

[scarlet relic]

When will the sale ends on ea play

On bf 2042

Today midnight or tomorrow ?

[south urchin]

also half the guns are broken in the game

so at this point why should it matter?

[low cypress]

Fr

[sharp marten]

When way says he’s studying or going to the gym he’s actually playing bf

He is dr battlefield

[topaz field]

yeahhhh i would respawn get into a heli and rain hell on you as sundance

last match i made somenoe rage quit

he shot me out the sky with the tor tank while i was flying

[dapper river]

no vehicle call-ins on Rush, soz lol

[topaz field]

i respawn on a ram beacon as sundancec

c5 him and the 4 people by the tank

lol

dude removed himself from the game

[sharp marten]

Wait does the MK do damage to vehicles when it’s automatic as well?

[topaz field]

yup

like 10%
\

[sharp marten]

That’s 10% less health

[topaz field]

ahhaha

[hollow breach]

When's week 3 starting?

[topaz field]

i think the auto capcitars same damage as APR on the AK

tomorrow @hollow breach

[hollow breach]

oki, @topaz field ty, do you know what time?

[quiet shell]

Not your fault, someone put a teammate in the direction of your throw back

[south vine]

📌 Core Battlefield Features Needed:

🔹 Squad Management: Being able create squad making it public/private and switching to another squad
🔹 Ability to dive in water while swimming
🔹 Auto Wall Peeking when ADS
🔹 All channel in chat
🔹 Platoons with custom emblems: can also be monetized by selling platoon emblems premium elements & Frames in store

hope these features return to BF2042 in the upcoming updates

[topaz field]

usualyy aroundddd 6-7am eastern i believe

[slow tulip]

"RIP my 100$ I deserve to be clowned fr" a bf2042 steam review posted today

[topaz field]

?????

i paid $130 , early access cross gen bundle

guess what

i played the shit out of it

lol

so i got my 130 worth

2042 is great

[quaint vector]

I paid.... Nothing.

[fiery shoal]

"core"
ehhhh

[quaint vector]

Got Ultimate Edition tho

[fiery shoal]

"needed" ehhhh

the only one that is close to being a core feature or needed is classes and its coming

[quaint vector]

Class system should not be in 2042 IMO

Its late to be added tho

[fiery shoal]

then id want the squad functions back and everything else on that list is is a far FARRRRRRR away concern

i think its weird they launched without classes, thats a pretty common feature of the bf games

[eager spire]

“can be monetized by selling platoon emblems” god shut up, it’s annoying that emblems for players are gimped.

[fiery shoal]

havent seen silver talk in a while, first thing they do is tell someone to shut up

[topaz field]

what 2042 needs is auto team balance

sometimes i dont even bother trying to kill enemies

[fiery shoal]

impossible

[eager spire]

I can only see that going well and not being annoying at all.

[topaz field]

clans would be nice too

i like bf1 team balance system was nice

[fiery shoal]

the ONLY way to balance 2042 is to have role lock

[topaz field]

role lock?

[slow tulip]

"I remember when games shipped finished, and companies either went under, or licked their wounds and came back stronger. With a publisher like EA, we get to witness the amoeba-like mass of corporate dollars stumble unflinchingly through a barrage of shameful releases and even worse cover-up jobs over the last few years. I don't expect the devs who tried to make this the best it could be to slave away at fixing this one, and I don't expect they could no matter how long you cracked the whip. I gave it a fair shot, too, but this game hurts to play especially when I can just go back to Battlefield 1 and have a great time.

Utter waste of money that should have at least been worth a dollar an hour, yet I paid double that for devs to be put back to task on a failed project too-little too-late thanks to EA." A Steam review posted yesterday with someone with 40 hours of play

[spiral folio]

2042 balances after a battle

[fiery shoal]

select assault, tanker, heli, medic role and play that for the whole game

[spiral folio]

Yea raise your hand if youre wasting time to read all that

[slow tulip]

Class system sucks in bf2042

[spiral folio]

Anyway moving on

[topaz field]

these noobs stay blaming devs have no clue how a department runs lmfao

[slow tulip]

Either improve it or get rid of it entirely

[eager spire]

@slow tulip you gonna stop posting Steam reviews any time soon mate

[spiral folio]

You can always mute or even leave servers you dont like

[topaz field]

he;s angry boomer

[slow tulip]

When the game is in good condition, I might

[fiery shoal]

there isnt really a class system atm and they are changing it soon.. soo?

[topaz field]

see angry boomer

[quaint vector]

[eager spire]

Holy fuck dude, we get it. You can stop.

[slow tulip]

I am a bf veteran, I Played all of them since early 2000s

[fiery shoal]

ironic

[eager spire]

Okay.

Good for you I guess.

[iron acorn]

Does anyone maybe know a fix for this?: Everytime before i start the game i have to repair the game first in order to not get kicked by EAC for failed authentication. Anything i can do? Tried reinstalling both BF and EAC and repairing aswell as whitelisting but nothing worked so far

[spiral folio]

The only bf games i skipped are 3 and 4 cause eh modern combat

[quaint vector]

Best BF games tho

[fiery shoal]

3 is my favorite

at least for its time

[topaz field]

not sure try deleting the bf folder and start from scratcch? but i would look on reddit or ea forum for the answer

[fiery shoal]

obviously modern mechanics makes bfv my current favorite

[spiral folio]

Bf2 was fun but then
Modern modern 3 times nah

Bf1 got me back in

[eager spire]

I like BF4. BF3 just has not aged well, and some of it’s mechanics or lack thereof make it annoying to play nowadays. BF1 is interesting but really fucking sucks gameplay wise. It doesn’t even take the good ideas BF4 had, like removing visual recoil.

[spiral folio]

I went from bf2 to cod2 and liked ww2 better

Well til WaW ruined it

[eager spire]

BFV is better than BF1 in some respects and worse in others. Like I’ve said before, DICE can have good ideas. Removing visual recoil in BF4 and removing suppression in BFV are a couple of them. It also had far better movement than BF1 on account of them not nerfing sliding like 3 times more than was necessary.

[topaz field]

[slow tulip]

Dice can't make a good campaign anymore

[spiral folio]

I tried bf3 but like the leveling curve was stupid and the starter weapons were ass

[eager spire]

I don’t give a shit about a campaign to be honest.

[slow tulip]

Best games are single player games

[eager spire]

Even BF3’s campaign was just mid. It was okay but it didn’t leave a lasting impression.

[spiral folio]

That's part of the problem with modern stuff is you cant really get real stories sometime

Cod2 was based on actual personal accounts of ww2. But some modern stuff is classified still so they cant always give out details

[eager spire]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wooden cove]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[spiral folio]

Near future usually goes too future as we've also seen

Probably an android for the next specialist

Dual wields moonrakers and one hand autoaims while you control the other

[eager spire]

The time period doesn’t matter, what matters is if the story being told is interesting, and most of the time it’s not, really.

[spiral folio]

The limited tech of the older guns makes them more interesting i think

[craggy venture]

anyone know what the gold p is used for or is in bf2042

[crimson basin]

I think they have the potential, Mirror's Edge Catalyst and The Last Tiger were very good. I just don't think they dedicate themselves fully to single player components.

[safe inlet]

The Last Tiger stands as one of my favorite examples of how the bad guys are found mostly in the leadership, not the people on the frontline.

(Except the Luftwaffe )

Also one of the few video game stories that made me upset at the end

[spiral folio]

The idealistic underling too

[queen pivot]

More maps

[spiral folio]

Wake island when

Except it'll be a futuristic version of the battlefield heroes version

[safe inlet]

I can’t say he’s evil, moreso indoctrinated. It’s all he knew and I think that’s how the story intended him to be perceived.

But the driver and commander knew wtf was up

[spiral folio]

Yea it captured that indoctrination of the [h] youth generation

Yea the old commander was of the generation that was fighting for their homeland

The underling was the "reign europe! a thousand years!!" generation

Commander was old enough or appeared so that he could have been ww1 too

[safe inlet]

Likely

[spiral folio]

You see that devastation once and see it coming back again. Youd probably give up even with a gun to your head

[safe inlet]

I love how the story paints multiple perspectives and shows us what war is like from the other end of the history books

A really good reminder that we’re all human and everyone suffers from war

Anyway

We are indeed off topic from BF2042 🤓

So we can move to another chat if you wanna keep discussing

[spiral folio]

Today is no rules day

[safe inlet]

[spiral folio]

2042 should reintroduce bf heroes locations and make it canonical to the bf universe

[nova mirage]

I want more battlefield 2142!!!

[spiral folio]

2142 is the only one that is noncanon

[safe inlet]

2142 in Portal

Would love to see it

[dapper river]

ah sweet!

ahem
BF2042 IS A BAD GAEM!!!

[safe inlet]

[nova mirage]

Did they change engines? Why are there so many graphical glitches? Especially with the skybox!

[safe inlet]

So I’m not the only one who noticed 😅

[nova mirage]

It needs a seizure warning lol!

[dapper river]

Spearhead runs exclusively on Unreal 6

[safe inlet]

Coding is a mess, just flat out. It’s stupid how many technical problems happen no matter how perfect you try to implement something

[nova mirage]

The higher resolution on consoles is really nice for a large scale game like bf

[lean spire]

2142 was the best

[spiral folio]

I'm on low settings so lucky me i dont have as many errors

[fiery shoal]

2042? engines didnt change. there are likely graphical glitches because the game and engine are complicated and that just leads to more problems

[chilly jacinth]

i personally haven't had a visual glitch in awhile now

[safe inlet]

^^ you put one thing in the game and everything else breaks

The life of a dev

[nova mirage]

Tornado probably. It tends to happen more late game

[spiral folio]

Buzz "some life"

[lean spire]

I saw one of my tanks fly away in a 'tornado'

[fiery shoal]

its like people compare bf titles to cod titles and say "theres less problems with cod" well yea.. its typically a small 8v8 shooter that doesnt have nearly as much stuff going on, of course the more complicated title will naturally have more problems

[safe inlet]

Less code, less issues

[chilly jacinth]

mw2 electric boogaloo is also buggy

[fiery shoal]

to clarify since someone always seems to suggest this, being more complicated doesnt mean its a better game, and nothing i just said excuses a game launching like shit

[chilly jacinth]

mainly wz and that extraction mode

[safe inlet]

If a game doesn’t have bugs, that’s when I worry

[chilly jacinth]

that i forget the name of

[nova mirage]

Also makes hackers more common in cod, since they still use so much legacy code

[past light]

I have decided to try and get the Mastery 1 camo on EVERYTHING
Wish me luck

[nova mirage]

Good Luck!!!!

[scarlet relic]

i just got the game via ea play sale , how is it now comparing to the launch is it good and fun now ? ( dont be biased pls )

[fiery shoal]

its always funny how people say "well games X years ago didnt have bugs"... the speedrunning community would laugh at that statement

[chilly jacinth]

dont be biased in a battlefield discord server

my man

you're asking the impossible

[nova mirage]

It's got some visual glitches, but can be pretty fun

[fiery shoal]

at launch i would have said 4/10, shortly after launch 5/10, imo now its finally 7/10 and i expect the class locks to make me fully recommend the game

(i consider 7/10 "good")

[safe inlet]

No bias

It has improved vastly and is MUCH easier to enjoy. I won’t say you will or won’t enjoy it, just that it will be easier to do so. Map reworks have helped base game maps a lot, three newest maps are a good improvement so far. Much more choice when it comes to weapons, some expanded vehicle choice.

tl:dr game has improved a lot and is much easier to play and enjoy

[fiery shoal]

if you hated specialists before, that wont change now

[safe inlet]

💀

Specialists are being moved to a class system relatively soon, so that should help Specialist hate

[scarlet relic]

great thanks guys

[fiery shoal]

idk how many times someone asks "is 2042 good now" and i go through in detail on the changes and why i think its good

then they ask "is there still specialists?" and you tell them yea and they respond with "o well it still sucks got it"

[safe inlet]

They aren’t even that big of a deal, I can’t wrap my head around how you can hate something that just doesn’t have a big enough impact

[prisma anvil]

Just goes to show what a lot of people's perspective is on specialists

[chilly jacinth]

i dont get how anyone thought that Dice would remove them

[safe inlet]

If you wanna hate something, hate stealth helis when they released

[chilly jacinth]

i still hate those fuckin helis

they're a plague

[safe inlet]

How I see Battlefield games: every single one has unique quirks that none of the others have

This time it’s probably Specialists

[fiery shoal]

imo people have their priorities wrong. i dont care that the pixels im shooting at have a specific model or backstory... literally means nothing to the gameplay

[mental delta]

I still hate them dude

[fiery shoal]

oddly enough a lot of people seemingly dont prioritize gameplay?

[safe inlet]

Understandable, but note that new rail tank one shots 💀

And has basically infinite range

[prisma anvil]

eyo wut?

[safe inlet]

I agree, I like to be dropped out but that’s as far as I care about what I look like

*dripped

[mental delta]

Rail gun destroying tanks is worse to me

[safe inlet]

My biggest qualm with launch 2042 was how rough it felt to play, and how most maps felt uninspiring. Problems that have seen much six since then

[safe inlet]

Rail tank is understandably op against armor and air, also incredibly pathetic against infantry

[fiery shoal]

i dont care about cosmetics. ill put on what i like of course but unlocking cosmetics doesnt matter to me at all

[mental delta]

Yeah but it sucks, how can that shit destroy vehicles, should not be that efficient

[safe inlet]

I admittedly spent over $100 on cosmetics in BFV and will start the process again in 2042 when I feel like I’m playing it enough

[prisma anvil]

Jesus

Man's got all the boins

[fiery shoal]

i spent like.. 30 bucks on fortnite? other than that the last title ive spent on cosmetics was league of legends?

[safe inlet]

Well.. it’s shooting what is likely a 20-30mm tungsten rod at near speed of sound

[frail sparrow]

@mighty holly did you finally get 2042? D:

[safe inlet]

Irl railguns punch holes through absurdly thick plating at ridiculous ranges

[mental delta]

Dude no, you can't stop right here right now before it's too late 🥲

[safe inlet]

(But they’re are useful in wartime yet)

[prisma anvil]

I think, in my entire life, I've spent around 5$ for micros, that's it

[arctic grove]

I hope DICE doesnt nerf the rail gun. Its OP againsts helis

[mental delta]

Yeah but it sucks, this gun should have never been a casual gun to me, just some kind of battlepickup

[safe inlet]

OH the HANDHELD RAILGUN. Those don’t exist yet irl but they’d still pack a fuckin punch

Im just glad it’s not NTW 2.0 and one shotting on body

[prisma anvil]

Yeah, handheld railguns, are a while away, and I mean a feckin while

[arctic grove]

NTW should be a one shot kill

Its a anti tank rifle

[safe inlet]

I don’t like one shot snipers, balance issues

[spiral folio]

I wish you could pick a specialist independently of class post class nerf

[safe inlet]

I respect it one tapping on the chest but that’s all

[prisma anvil]

Nah, one tapping should only be head

Any distance, body should be around 60-85 depending on rifle,

[safe inlet]

That’s why NTW range is subpar

[spiral folio]

Cod2 was like 1 shot body and head for rifle calibers including the Bren. And 80% for anything else

Ntw sux

[mental delta]

I mean this railgun shouldn't be allowed ot be in everyone's hands like it would be better if the only way to get it was to find it on the ground on some random points of the map

[prisma anvil]

Yep, I've never liked the at rifles from V, thought ntw was gonna be a roided version of that

[grave vigil]

biggest mistake was nerfing it tbh

[safe inlet]

It’s use will die down later in the season, rn everyone is using it bc brand new gun

[spiral folio]

I'd rather see them add a .50cal sniper that does what the NTW does

Then buff the NTW and make it prone-fire or bipodded fire only

[fluid crest]

So many voice chat squads are filled up!! Did rookies join the battlefield after free weekend?

[prisma anvil]

Isn't like the gol magum basically th best rifle right now?

[safe inlet]

BFV style

[arctic grove]

👀

[mental delta]

I hope so

[safe inlet]

It seems like plenty of people ended up purchasing the game. I know one of my friends did

[spiral folio]

Like add a .50cal sniper that can do major damage to players and no damage to like tanks

Then the NTW does tons of damage but make the recoil insane and make it harder to use

[grave vigil]

they need to buff the DXR to be the best sniper at mid to long

[safe inlet]

We gave short reviews to someone earlier who was contemplating buying 2042

[grave vigil]

or they should just bring the jng-90 from bf4

[spiral folio]

Like make the ntw do major damage to jeeps and light vehicles, some damage to tanks with armor

[safe inlet]

It already is unless GOL is better

Also, can we point out how good sniping feels in this game

[spiral folio]

DXR is my favorite. Better scope options and ammo options

[safe inlet]

Is usually feels meh in BF but feels a lot better this time

[spiral folio]

The ntw with how janky the bolt operates doesnt pay off with the low damage and pathetic ammo capacity

[grave vigil]

it feels good + the noise it makes when you HS someone and the hitbox for headshots is very generous

[safe inlet]

I admit it, the headshot sound in 2042 is unmatched

Music to my ears

And it just gets better and better if you get a multi kill

[wintry parrot]

I likes it when the red stuff comes out and the game makes a hissy sound :)

[sharp marten]

Oh great box of Sweden give me your knowledge box facilities-“railgun tank go chew”

[hushed lynx]

I had a really hard time sniping. I loved sniping in BF4 with the GOL

[safe inlet]

I respect it, everyone’s got a preference

[spiral folio]

I found this perfect bend in the road on hourglass where using the 8x scope, eneny heads are exactly on top of the 1st mil dot. I ended up getting like 10 headshots in a row cause there were so many people on the roof

[grave vigil]

also I need to say...the reworked maps for breakthrough feel much nicer

[safe inlet]

I have a hard time with BF4 personally after how badly we’ve been spoiled with movement

[grave vigil]

L11 and jng-90 were my favorite

[sharp marten]

True

[arctic grove]

Feels more like a war with this slow paced movement

[hushed lynx]

Full disclosure. I only started playing this weekend with the Xbox free play.

[arctic grove]

I hate it how 2042 feels like cod. People bunny hopping and sliding. It sickens me

[past light]

OK I have no fucking clue how Zain's grenade launcher works

[safe inlet]

I have more issue with how rigid it feels compared to how clean it feels in recent titles

[spiral folio]

I haven't tried it yet

[safe inlet]

It’s an Airburst rifle

So basically

[grave vigil]

use AK24/SFAR/AM40 for ARs, pp29 for smgs, avancys for lmgs, dmr is always BSVM, sniping sws still unfortunately

[safe inlet]

You range it to the range your target is at

[spiral folio]

Practice new weapons on solo

[safe inlet]

That range is when the grenade thing detonates, sending shrapnel in the area

[sharp marten]

Aim at their cover then figure the range then aim past the cover

[past light]

That's what I did but bots don't relent with shooting at you

[safe inlet]

^^

[spiral folio]

Easy bots

[safe inlet]

It’s intended for people behind cover

[past light]

It was easy bots

[safe inlet]

Bots instantly finding you when they’re in a tank no matter how hard it should be to find you

[past light]

Ah cuz I've been shooting it straight at the bots since they kept shooting me and I couldn't figure it out

[spiral folio]

Guess one issue is bots dont use cover well

[safe inlet]

I mean it works as an direct fire weapon, I think it even one taps on direct hit

[hushed lynx]

Are there any differences to sniping technique in 2042 vs BF4 or BF1?

[safe inlet]

But you have to reset the range everytime you change the range you want it to burst

[past light]

Hence why I go from the grenade launcher to M5 to blow them up

[spiral folio]

Sniping in bf5 was bad. Lotta sniper nerfs like massive glare and exaggerated drop

[safe inlet]

I never understood how people got good at using bolts

[spiral folio]

Worst offenders were bf5s awful AT rifles that lobbed shots like grenades

[hushed lynx]

I completely skipped BF5

[past light]

Which does remind me that I do need to start using the DM7 despite the pain I suffer while using it

[sharp marten]

It is a campers worst nightmare it’ll do some serious damage tho

[past light]

I started playing 4 days ago lol

[past light]

Welp sadly bots don't camp

[sharp marten]

Do not fret friend I have faith in you

[past light]

Ok

[spiral folio]

Bots are basically just active targets on easy not an accurate simulation

It helps with target acquisition though

[hushed lynx]

Sooooo, do you "old soldiers" recommend buying the game now?

[sharp marten]

Idk man those bots have some aim while I’m in a chopper

[spiral folio]

Yea their aim ranges from moronic to uncanny

Especially on higher modes

Suddenly everyone and their dog has a recoilless rifle

[sharp marten]

Personally yes the game has improved significantly and most people not all but most who dog on it are just mad it either had a bad launch or just it be mad tbh

[spiral folio]

Being mad gets more likes

[sharp marten]

^

[hushed lynx]

I bought BF4 after the bad launch and played over 1000 hours

[sharp marten]

Same for me

The game is definitely good and I’ll dare anyone who says it isn’t to make their own game and see how it works 💀

[spiral folio]

Bf4 mostly only exists cause bf3 had massive client security flaws they came out really close together it seemed

[sharp marten]

Bf3 was really fun I enjoyed it a lot

God I wish it was Sunday already so I could watch the game awards

[safe inlet]

Yeah I wanna watch Elden Ring win half of the awards

💀

[sharp marten]

Lmao true

Dawg I just wana see ark2

[dapper river]

bad news, the game awards are on Thursday

[sharp marten]

Don’t they go till Sunday ?

[dapper river]

Nope! It's a 3-ish hour live event where all the winners are announced, and it's happening Thursday ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sharp marten]

Yeah one of the devs said “can’t wait for you to see what we have in store on dec 10th at the game awards”

[dapper river]

💀

then they got it wrong too

[sharp marten]

My whole life is a lie

WHAT DOES IT MEAN

[shell ermine]

Jedi Survivor and Dragon Age Dreadwolf I'm hoping to see a lot of.

||of course hoping GoWR takes GOTY over ER||

[dapper river]

recency bias

[sharp marten]

Gow<ER

[shell ermine]

Maybe the voting gets so divided by the two that a dark horse wins like Horizon lmao

Be worth it for the salt alone

[dapper river]

Nah, #StraySweep

funni cat gaem

[sharp marten]

[shell ermine]

I remember people prepping that argument back in 2018 when everyone thought RDR2 was going to win, and look at how that turned out

[barren quest]

can anyone help me with my super bad keyboard lag in 2042? This is the only bf game my keyboard does this on

[dapper river]

RDR2 swept like, all the other awards it was nominated for though lol

[shell ermine]

Let's be real that unless you are an indy dev no one gives two shits about any award beyond goty

[safe inlet]

I take personal offense to this statement

[safe inlet]

I care mostly about the artistic ones

But the rest not much

[shell ermine]

I take offense to ER doing something that used to be common for games (no quest markers) and everyone gushing over it calling it revolutionary

[safe inlet]

Stuff like Audio Design, Soundtrack, etc

Because the contenders usually really hit it off in those categories

[sharp marten]

I take offense to both of you taking offense

[shell ermine]

Best Performance is pretty nice I'll admit

[safe inlet]

Understandable, I find it pretty dumb myself

[safe inlet]

I take offense to your taking offense of our taking offense

[shell ermine]

Like, I enjoyed the game and did like 90% of the stuff in it, but BotW was not revolutionary at all.

ER is like that to me, it's a really good game but it's only really getting outsized praise because it's the first time a game in its series/genre has stepped into the open world. It doesn't do anything unique or industry-changing.

[lean spire]

Any advice for a noob to this game, are their specialists I should grind/avoid, same for weapons.

[safe inlet]

Im here for the art direction, sounds design, and gameplay of ER

I can name a very small number of games that I enjoy fighting bosses/monsters in

I use the term monster on the same level as boss because I’m pointing at Monster Hunter: Word for a spectacular soundtrack

[safe inlet]

I wouldn’t say to avoid or grind for any specific specialist or gun, just test things out and see what is comfortable in your hands.

[lean spire]

I usually like sniper rifles but couldn't hit a thing with the first couple I tried

[safe inlet]

The DXR is the cheat sniper for this game

No bullet drop for a few hundred meters

And if I give a bias answer

The SCAR is a really good place to start in the assault rifles

AK is also very good

[lean spire]

Thanks, liking AK so far. Doing SOLO for now till I get some items deciently leveled

[upbeat sand]

You know what

I'm glad they didn't add an extra US specialist other than Irish

I wanna see the burger eaters get pissed

[safe inlet]

As a burger eater

Can confirm that I will be pissed if a burger eater specialist isn’t added

And I don’t mean any ‘ol USA Specialist

I mean yeehaw cowboy rootin tootin shootin

[tardy tree]

burger best food on god

tacos

[tardy tree]

[dapper river]
