So thus they have less penetrating ability
Germans used various forms of deformation rounds and hollowpoints in ww1 the allies called "dumdum rounds" and believed they exploded for a while
Is that so, yet shotguns seemed to be the big issue
Was it an issue of being too brutal or just an unfair advantage with shotguns that the Germans didn’t like? I read a little bit about it and saw those two things thrown around
The anime lupin iii perpetuated the myth they were explosive rounds which is where i heard the term "dumdum rounds"
Yea germany was scared shitless of shotguns which were a weirdly american idea to use in combat
Even today if there's one thing the taliban were afraid of its like the US use of shotguns
smartest 2042 player
War crime stick
Its not a war crime if you win
They did push it to be a war crime and maybe it would be if they won
But its hard to say a shotgun is a war crime when you're launching gas that melts peoples lungs
US probably continued to use them anyways
Or launching 8" shells into trenches
Its called a trenchgun for a reason it works really well for that
The fact we still use em too
They also work as good launchers for projectiles like theres an explosive round called a "frag12"
And taser rounds even
Cause the lower velocity makes it easier to make special loads
Trenchguns?
Shotguns in general
how’s the update peeps
+p jhp's is a preferred round for me
Shotguns almost seem obvious to be picked up as military weapons for how long we’ve been using them for
100 years
Speaking of historical warfare it would be kinda cool to see a proof of concept US Civil War Battlefield game.
Though I guess you'd run into the same issue that some have with WW2 where one team is always the irredeemable evil bad guys (Germans, Japanese, Confederates).
i would not want to play a civil war bf game
Ehh, except in the case of the Civil War, there really was a irredeemable bad guy
i dont want that
"Repeaters are op!"
literally like 2 guns
And it certainly wasn’t the Union
unfortunately some seem to not think so
just noticed that the upgrade pack from gold to ultimate is at 50%. is it worth 35euro or whatever for the skins?
Reload takes minutes
Like I said.
like per ww2, there are some obvious few that don’t
I’d even argue the Germans and Japanese were irredeemable bad guys. Not every person who fought for them, but the countries themselves certainly were not in any way excusable
it’s a ranger skin and a casper legendary, and an m5 skin, it’s up to you
They needed to get their shit knocked
the black cheframsey skin is kinda alluring. but nah
Jesus why does III MEF have some of the hardest military pictures online
Something something persistent lobbies something
something
AAAAAAAAAA
I played a game of 64p co op manifest if that counts
It certainly is made around the template
There are "this map only" servers in the matchmaking line up
Which update
Which was evident by the fact that every objective on it was loaded with cover
really.

It good
I haven’t played manifest on 128 yet
Ive seen a lot of servers that do like 2x of each map some 1x each map
hows the update guys 😄 , im downloading the game cant wait to play ngl
one day we’ll be at a point where we don’t need specific playlists to play good maps
But yea if you see a map 3+ times it's a "this map only" id bet
yeah lmao
I also suspect sometime the game tries to "balance" servers by shuffling players but seems less likely
Echo advocating for server browser return (confirmed)
Well i think for private servers and portal there'll always be a browser
Of course
bro
this fuckhead
used the attack heli as a one way trip to C1
and then didn't even destroy it
Yike
It IS a free trial month huh
Them newbies
At least it wasnt a transport
If i see an eneny with like 2 or more transports. Exit game
As soon as they go rogue it instantly makes the game 300x more tedious
new players lack the skills to fly a heli in a straight line
getting to C1 and safely landing a tall order
The transports already havr more hp than a freakin tank
In my perfect world this would be instant ban, no redos 
I mean they are bigger than a freakin tank
Hit it straight in the drive shaft
-flying away intensifies-
Helicopters are made from soda cans
I hate spawning on a transport just to find myself driving the damn thing
Tanks are made of like 3" thick steel
I'm not a chopper pilot, who the hell ditched this thing mid-air with a full passenger load?
Hate spawning on a Condor to find out I'm the Condor Pilot now
"Ai am dey captin nao"
Metro was God's mistake with gaming
Metro unironically ruined Battlefield for a bit.
Everyone still cries about how they want it back
Every other CQC map afterwards has been trying to fix its mistakes.
And usually failing.
Though Operation Underground is slightly less cancer than most.
Deadass saw someone who thought DICE were gonna remake it as a Swedish subway because they said the new map would be in Sweden
That I believe was partly Temporyal… 
Sweden has subways?
IDK
How much more significant is this games TTK compared to 3/4? I mean hell, even post those games I wouldn’t say they don’t have high TTKs
Cause sweden is so crowded where you gonna put a train
I don't want metro, it's bad
V has a pretty high TTK apparently but has its own Metro
Unfun meat grinder is unfun
BF4 has a decently high TTK all things considered, and fairly short engagement ranges despite the prevalence of lots of scopes.
High/low, in this case for clarification I mean a fast TTK not high
Some guns in BF4 could drop u super fast (AEK)
Fast TTK and extremely open maps do not mix.
You're just strolling along and some cunt drops you with a machine gun from 250 metres away before you realise what's happening
Tbf, that happend to me a lot in BFV
It will happen in most Battlefields
Half the time I've had to treat my LCMG as ghetto DMR
Tap fire with that thing is weirdly accurate.
Should try the XM8, that thing is crazy accurate
Can't figure out how to get the PKM's bipod to frigging work though
I had an issue with the m249 where it wouldnt fire continually
It does not want to mount on anything.
I dunno if its my mouse because the lmg from last season works fine
Bipods in 2042 are super wacky
It won't even mount on the floor. I'm not sure if it can mount.
Avancys?
Like for one it tells you you're immobile when it's deployed but you're really not
Gea the avancy
Might just be for aesthetics tbh
Which is dumb
I dont use that one bipodded so maybe
It's too hard to control with standing fire.
On the PKP
No wonder nobody uses that thing.
I know they work on everything else
Oh that gun is a pile of shit lol
skill issue
Some automatic guns you fire in like short bursts
Like 5-10 shots maybe
Ushally 3-6
LCMG in a good overwatch position with a bipod is evil
Even those bursts tend to go way wide.
M16 is one of those guns when tap fired is really good
ive gotten multiple 12man sprays with the pkp
I went to the ac42 cause no lmg really fit me
You gotta look at your attachments
Get barrels and grips that buff weapon accuracy
The PKP hasn't got much in the way of useful attachments. The stock grip's all it's got.
Pkp is ok but it's just whatever now.
Not a fan
Yeah I played with it purely for tier 1.
I'd rather use an m60 over it.
Which by the way I'm due to do.
Hate how I have to get hundreds of kills just to get AP belts.
Eh they're not good.
I liked using them to harass choppers in the beta.
AP belts are ok for like body armor or getting a helicopter to attack you
AP rounds do basically nothing now
They're kinda OK against the DCS barrier too?
I'm fine with them not doing shit to tanks, but helicopters are thin-skinned and should have a number done on them.
Rockets don't do shit to helis
Hell, scout choppers straight up shouldn't be bulletproof at all.
Has the NTW 50 buff made a difference?
Yoyo 🙂
Nope
Fuck
I got a direct hit on the underbelly of a stealth heli once from 20m and did nothing
Unless you purely want to kill 4 wheelers and jeeps
An AMR should do way more damage than what the NTW currently does
I swear it's like every game the first people they listen to are the goddamn pilot mains
Especially with rorsch spammers in the game now
Well a mauser with k-bullets was more effective than the "20mm" ntw
I haven't touched Rorsch yet
New to the server but not new to the game anyone down to group up
As long as you can move around the way you do rn with the NTW it’s best it stays where it is, otherwise with the games already fucky infantry vehicle balancing it’ll be worst
Tanks back then were also a lot thinner skinned.
Welcome! Give lfg a look.
There a LfG section
So is a freakin jeep
My PSN/kevo_2155
Im not even counting how weak it is vs tanks
I mean the "20mm" ntw does less damage to unarmored vehicles than a 8mm mauser with an AP bullet
Balance out the bs like the rorsch, but NTW should be viable for vehicle killing
Also what the hell, I saw that temporyal post for the Mackay bundle… dude got a whole new appearance lol
Link?
Like. Imo
They should make the NTW bipod fire only, buff the damage to infantry and light vehicles, remove damage to heavy armor
Oh wow
Nah NTW should still do damage to heavy armor
Linus Tech Tips in Battlefield
I actually dig that
Which it technically is now, I don’t wanna see people slide jumping into and out of cover with an AMR doing actual damage to my MBT, that’s bullshit
20mm wont even de-track a modern tank
20mm HE might
Like maybe light damage to the RAM and apc
Car.
But it is not HE
Making it incredibly hard to control without bipod wouod balance that, similar to how machine guns worked in BFV
Oh yea
And add more ammo types
This actually looks cool, hope it's an epic tbh
I know it won't be
Just got my transcript what the fuck is armor piercing English
It is an epic
Oh yes
I doubt they do anything with the ntw
They act like its buffed but its still a joke
They tried that with the phantom bow
That might work. If it’s going to be a competent anti vehicle option against actual armor then it will definitely need to come alongside something like that
They were the worst rounds on that thing
It will always be a joke especially with rorsch in the game
LOOL
Because right now + with a buff like that that would just annoy the hell outta people
The ntw is irl a ..heeuuge rifle. Literally as heavy as a m2 .50cal HMG
That's All I really want it to be, fit the anti vehicle niche but not OP for infrantry and CQC usage
The m95 isnt small but its "only"20lbs
The ntw is 60
Damn 60 pounds
And that's not including recoil of course
I am not surprised when the rounds are probably the size of an average forearm
It's weird not being shot at by lis.
I was abusing people in the Bradley and had actual cover.
You could probably kill a man by throwing a 20mm round at them
Body shot at 100x the speed "owie ow ow let me bandaid that"
The explosive bolt on the r10 is lit
The fact that DoT rounds disables people from using the medpen

Until the debuff wears off
Gas nades next

has there always been a small moon in the skybox on manifest?
A small moon eh
As in the moon
Lmao I read that as you didn't know what moon I meant
nah all good I did word it a little strange
Is the update out
I mean... i doubt by 2042 we'll move the moon closer
Yeh it’s out now
charaxcters on ps4 render bad with this update
Why does my fps say 80 but it feels like 30 lol, maybe shaders?
They said stuff done to reload
I wish I could compare it side by side with 2 different versions of the game, but I THINK it feels snappier and more responsive. Could be a placebo or a very slight change
Update out yet?
Last gen is permenantly broken, dice will never fix it
is there ground vehicle collision damage?
update has been out for a few hours
The bell v280 was just licensed to replace the blackhawk
Basically a blackhawk / osprey hybrid tilt rotor
Did manifest always have one building on top of the B hill or two?
manifest good now?
2 buildings facing each other
or better?
It's good, they added more cover but it's not a huge change like orbital
Did they remove one of the buildings in the rework?
I have not played yet so idk
They haven't done manifest yet
Have they?
Is that what the update is?
Am I stupid?
Manifest was updated today yeah
Yeah I didn't think it was dropping today
Three weeks in and the new map is out.
Looks like they did remove one of them. Looking at it now in a condor. Kinda disappointed by that. Those interiors were one of my favourite looking parts of the map that IMO helped define the map's style
Breakaway is the real "new" map
Yeah breakaway looks more exciting.
No wonder it's end of January it's a massive change
And then the class nerf
The dark times
They need all that time.
You can set up a class build if you want
Classes are good because they all have a set role.
Theres no rule that says you cant CURRENTLY be a medic
In your opinion maybe, but classes are BF, and there's really no arguing that most of the playerbase wants them back, if the next game doesn't have classes it'll fail like 2042
Will probably be sooner than end of january. They always get ahead of schedule with the reworks
People are so stupid theyre asking for less creative freedom
Playing through portal 1942 made me realise that again.
Theyre under this dillusion that suddenly teamwork will happen
How good it felt to go "Oh that guy is certainly carrying a sniper" "Oh that guy with the garand is an engineer"
Personally all I want is consistency.
Doesn't matter, dice is ditching specialists for next game
Classes are staying and for good reason
If there is a next game
The class system gets confused with the faction models which is where I think 2042 faceplanted. People don’t want a unique hero shooter from this franchise, that was 2042s nail in the coffin
There is a next game in production already
I'll give it a fair chance but I'll probably end up in bf1 again
Yeah I wouldn't mind some sort of way to tell apart U.S from RU.
That's the annoying part. But this game was meant to become something else.
Agreed
And that's why it's like this.
And yea, at the end of the day I can’t be super mad since it was definitely supposed to be a different game
Was built as a BR first that's prob why
I wouldn't mind a blue tier 1 for allied friendlies and a red tier 1 for enemy specialists.
Just some sort of tinge.
They need to implemt a universal camo system that's visible on enemy players
Actually no not for just friendly and enemy just for U.S and RU.
The hardest pill to swallow is AI have their own class and faction models, and are gadget restricted
Something that was in the game since the jump for the B O T S that we waited a year for
Red for ru blue for us. Easy.
If they didnt attach specific specialists/specialist gadgets to a classes itd be way better
Yeah no.
So its way worse
They need to give us the BMP 2 and Bradley for 2042 soldiers.
Those two are farm machines.
Bradley is olllld
As long as unique character models exist outside of an elites system they will always get flak
Why not a sherman tank while we're at it
Thought this was a future game
-slap papers-
Sorry I can't hear you over my thomping 25mm cannon.
Sorry i cant hear you over my laser
I haven’t personally heard much about a Bradley replacement but I haven’t looked into it much either
Seriously that thing decimates.
Although I did say once the as21 red back would work for US and the BMPT for RU
They literally just replaced the museum piece that is the bradley
Or t15 armata
armata doesn't even work
I’m sure they would find a vehicle for it in game at least no doubt
To be fair neither does the T14
But that’s what the T28 is
Hell, there’s only 4 existing SU57s if I remember correctly?
Real world logic will just fuck with everything if we actually think about it in this game
The T15 is different from the T14 I heard. The T14 obviously being the MBT and the T15 being an IFV/APC(?)
I have been trying to play 2042 to no avail since release due to input lag. If I run and stop the input, I keep running for several seconds. Same with strafing. What fixes it? Switching to medium graphic settings.
I guess lower frames is a decent trade off
HELL YES!
I dont like the chunky crackerbox apc in the game but yea. Dont add the antique bradley
APS coming to the old tanks
They're currently replacing the bradley
Yes!!!
Whatever is picked it'll be fielded by 2030
Was there always a tornado on Manifest?
Finally
Yes
It’s about time the tanks get APS with Lis running around
Clearly by m1a5 they mean a modified m1 garand!
wow nice
I haven’t played bf2042 since a month after release, so just wanted to know whether it was worth playing again. I have always been an avid battlefield player and generally miss the brand so would just like to know whether anyone recommends it
Definitely recommend
It’s finally getting good
im still killing those damn wildcats
Lots and lots of quality of life stuff coming
Thank you. I have missed playing battlefield so might give it a go tonight
Clearly helicopters needed a buff XD
My favourite part is that the TOR doesn't even fire explosive shells.
It's just pure kinetic damage.
the tor fires a projectile
Also do they mean increased by as in... like it is now 240% speed or it gained an additional 40% speed
look up railgun technology on youtube dude

The speed of it just penetrates the tank with zero issues.
Brick
I guess they could use straight up uranium
Since depleted uranium has lighter elements in it
Oh another note, interesting fact, I am pretty sure the US scrapped the railgun project in favor of hypersonic missiles
Wait until he learns what sabot rounds are in tanks for the last 80 years 
I do enjoy the self sharpening as it's penetrating tungsten rounds
Sabots launch normally.
Railgun is pure speed.
Apds rounds were definitely being used in ww2
Technically a railgun is also a sabot
Why bother with rail gun tonk when you can have handheld rail gun 
True but the railgun again relies on speed even more to do damage.
I’ve heard of apds but I’m not sure why I thought sabot was more Cold War ish, I might be thinking of some other round
Doing 150 ap damage to vehicles was a little too easy
The projectile rides in a sabot that is pushed by the magnetic field
The carrier thing splits off the projectile
Magnet gun.
Tank sabots and a railgun projectile are both inert/solid
HE rounds are explosive
And whatever the fire/forget homing round is oj the tank is basically HE
anyways way how good is the 240b in AOW? 
That bad? 
It's got assault rifle movement speed.
ads movement speed.
So when you play as Mackay you'll zoom.
I'm not even joking.
Lul? Honestly who is in charge at dice
Yes really.
So how long to fix that...
I brought it up to Alex and even he has no idea how it got pass QA.
Fookin hell I can’t wait to play with that for a month 
thats because there's no qa
Seriously though it's one of the weirder, funnier bugs.
Me when the xm8 clipped through the players hands when it got ported to aow
Is it bipod only like the xm8
Oh wait, I think I’ve got the wrong gun name
Fore grip and flash suppressor.
Am i reading it right that if you equip HE rounds in your tank
The traverse speed for the turret is lower
Yes.
... lmao what
They've set a new guideline with the shell types.
I know "why" cause infantry need a chance
Even though...HE is lighter
Just saiyan
Tanks get third person view smh
I like this change. I should give tanks a proper go eventually.
Have yet to do the m1a5.
It seeeeeeems inconsistent/stupid to change turret traverse speed based on the ammo
"If you load HE the tank comes with a crystal giraffe you have to be careful with"
While the speeds have been increased so it isn't so bad. It's not as big of an upgrade over using MPAT.
They should’ve made the turret traversal speed instant with HE
So I can farm Christmas nubs
Actually the Bradley in bad co 2 turns really quick.
Or hey crazy idea
What iiiif...
Tanks coukd carry like different kinds of ammo
The t90 and m1a2 also feel quicker.
Perhab Christmas event in 2042?
Oh yea I think I remember the Bradley being pretty quick
I loved using it in bc2 rush
Bradley turns into a bonfire quicker too
Imagine snowy map tdm with Christmas decorations
It's so stupid.
yothe white camo's are beast in this game
Too much work for dice tho
They burn up a lot?
Snowy map tdm. You have breakaway and you literally need new assets for Deco.
Theyre better armored than like.. a stryker but what isnt
They could do it. But it'd be a waste of resources.
Breakaway tdm layout is an oil rig and it doesn't look too snowy
If the army agrees to replace the bradley itll have served for like 50 years
Hmm I assume both the Bradley and Stryker are weak then? For the Stryker I kinda expect that since I think it’s more of a TD but I could be wrong
Oh my god this patch has really gone and completely overhauled vehicles
They might actually feel way more responsive now
That’s good, which vehicles have you played with?
They make a stryker with a "light 30mm" now
None so far, im reading the notes
I just remembered the strykerx
Like this is actually incredibly significant
I don't even get what the apc ingame is
Jeez
Besides a miniature jawa crawler
Basically the jaguar
They just didnt wanna make 2 apcs
They have been pretty funny with the faction vehicles
Cause the "2030 bradley replacement" woukd be US only
I mean I kinda understand it tho yknow
Like what would a Russian equivalent of the tor even be
And russias got... uhhhh... a bmp from the 60s
3.1 is out already right?
Yeah.
I need to try this
Is the horrible awful class thing this update or the next
The next one
Still a little freedom i guess i should enjoy it while it lasts
At least guns are still unlocked
Although… it might make you mad when I say this but…
…if the game had more guns, I would advocate for them locking those too
We should remove more guns to prevent choice

One of each should be fine
The wildcat is going to be so much stronger
Wildcat might become overtuned
Simplifies the names
To just
Smg lmg rifle
Oh they are bringing below radar
I’ve seen some things here about locked guns and if there’s one change to the locked guns I’d make is a greater option for medics
Medics need mid-range options.
Nah choices are bad
awww no the vehicle changes aren't for this patch
Oh right I think it was you tano. I saw what you said about mid range options and I agree with that
Guns will be reduced to just a fast version or a slow version. Because choice is hard.
Long range and they sit up the back and don’t revive. Short range and they just die first.
I’m pretty sure that would be a war crime
Nahhh
There's plenty of debate if DU is
Uranium is actually in tank shells and stuff
A10 does funny with depleted uranium
Yeah DEPLETED uranium
Thirty metres? Is that it?
DU is at least "not entirely uranium"
Yeah lol
Pure uranium would be denser
I figured you meant depleted since I remembered the discussion earlier
I guess, being below 30 will make you unable to be locked on
Fucks sake those nightbirds are bad enough already without magically being immune to stinger locks.
Not now tho
I’m not versed in chemistry so I’m not sure what that would do besides mini fallout everywhere
Not this update I think
Somebody mentioned a "material denser than tank armor"
Which the US uses DU layers to tank armor
We always have lis and the railgun tank
Tank armor is overrated anyway
i leik
The rail gun tank is surprisingly op for anti air
When you got APFSDS
Oh yeah let me just manually guide this missile into a chopper moving fast enough to outrun it in a straight line
but the wildcat is going to be so much stronger against them now
did you actually read how it works lmao
and you can hack it easier
Skill issue 
Have a hellcat with like 4x railguns that fire in sequence
And jets steam out from the turret
from my perspective, they want them to stop camping from height and instead want them to play more aggressively. Stay close to the ground to avoid locks but become open to wildcats, recoilessessessess and hacks
How, when you get below the 30 meters you can't be locked on
How does that buff the wildcat
I piff smart grenades at choppers and they always just fly away from them without even flaring.
Even the fat fuck hinds can do it.
That takes some risky play to do tbh
Although you can usually tell it’s the smart grenade since those lock ons are instant
well the new turn rates makes them far more effective at taking them out
Going below 30 won't break the lock tho
Pretty much anything threatening to air vehicles has a lock on sequence
not if it's been achieved beforehand, which is a nice tradeoff
So if you have a rocket it will still find you 30 meters below
Hinds are just way more agile than they have any right to be. Upshot is that if they’re flying like crazy, their gunners can’t hit shit.
i think Rao hack wears off too fast on heli's
nopls
maybe another second would help out alot
The transports are durable as a tank, that should change
It’s bad enough actually using an air vehicle will instantly result in like 4 different rao
OH soldier based lock ons may disregard the 30 meters, I think it's the vehicle lock ons that can't lock on a air vehicle that's 30 meters below
Theyre like
"Oh no 5 rockets have hit me... better fly off the map and repair... ok back did i miss anything?"
the hind flies with more manoeuvrability than a scout heli in bf4 lol
makes no sense
Hind and condor just built different
Yea if the hind was at least slower
They sure are annoying as all hell to fight
Which speaks volumes of how goddamn nimble those fuckin nightbirds are
There is no sense, it's all game mechanics
they are
If they can make the hind look sluggish
I wouldn't be adverse to a lowered roll rate to be honest
Either slower or less durable. Cant have both
if it worked in the past it'll work well here
Just make them slower
They should be durable but you should also be careful where you decide to fly with em
It almost feels as if the attack helis are slower than the transports
I’ve seen them pulling barrel rolls.
Which is something certain helicopters can do, just not anything that fat.
It’s probably just in my head but sometimes using the attacks feels slightly sluggish. Like there’s no real momentum I can pull
Meanwhile I’m zipping around in the hind
That railgun tanks is way to good as a anti air
Attack heli gunners only having the cannon is weird.
Guys is there any way for me to unlock the p90 even before i have the k30?
after flying in bf4 for a few minutes, the difference in momentum buildup feels substantial
Find and pick up K30s or P90s
it's all to make them more forgiving and easier to fly, no real skill gap in flight like there used to be
When it comes to statistics for all I know the attacks probably are faster too lol
Ive tried searching in breathrough
I remember my first actual lobby of 2042 on launch night not understanding why infantry rockets were so bad and why they felt so slow

Yeah, the flight skill floor is lower, which I do think is nice, but fuck that skill ceiling (what little of it that existed…) is straight up gone.
Me after playing 2042 for 10 hours straight
That is a very good skin can’t lie
I like average skilled pilots because their choppers actually look like they care about physics.
They've been nailing skins lately.
Whats his special thing?
The ability to skin a badger in 5s?
Agreed
It makes the S1 stuff look slightly meh now
https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/dev-notes-vehicles-in-season-3 Well there goes another thing from the trailer that we can't do anymore 🤣 No more rendezook above the clouds
I mean, he does have the agility trait
And seeing a gunship hover in close at a control point to drop a squad and support them is always cool.
Hey guys when are we gonna get more portal maps ? Is there any confirmation
But once they get up to high skill levels, oh boy they’re just a pain in the ass.
There’s no confirmation we will get new portal maps unfortunately
I will say though that the Hind is exactly what the LAAT should be like in a Battlefront game.
@radiant prism How the AKS-74U feeling since the update? Asking cos your name suggests you may know a bit 
Dam portal has so much potential … and has the same maps since launch ..
Imagine if they add all the maps and weapons … limitless gameplay
Yeah welcome to half-baked “let’s make two games at once” development
except it's a change to helis, not jets
Two games at once yup pretty much
I just want more maps for Exodus Conquest. Screw canon let me on the 1942 maps
I see portal as 2042s longevity thing where its a premade mods system
Oh I may have glossed over it too quickly. That's pretty hype if it's just heli's
I’m sick of those goddamn canals
Like even if they ruin the main game mode. Portals still there
I haven't played since the update so idk
Anyway I hope they stop pandering to bf3/4 nostalgia and branch out more.
Remake Amiens dammit.
Still the best urban map in the series.
It ees what it ees
Just read through the article. Tons of good changes. Btw, Rendezook will still be possible above the clouds since you'll ve able to eject from that altitude, but helis can no longer reach the skybox.
Also... they're nerfing the turn speed on RAM by 20% 
And add the bf heroes maps in the original art style
BF heroes in portal sounds so cursed
Swap the weapons to cel shaded ones
Hey all, I've been trying to post to get some help in the BF2042 subreddit for a few days now and my posts keep getting removed. I read through the rules and didn't see one against asking for troubleshooting help. Is that not allowed on there? Mods also aren't responding to me asking about it.
2042 Heroes sounds better
You know, I genuinely wouldn’t be opposed to Anime Battlefield. Keep the gameplay but everyone’s cute now.
Ive seen reviews in retrospective that were like "bf heroes came out too early"
Not chibi though.

the official forums would probably be better, they have threads specifically for technical issues as well as bugs, and I'm sure someone would be able to provide better assistance there. The sub isn't really for that kind of stuff, the forums would be better
Nah nah we need a Mirror’s Edge series
There is no way DICE is soo incompetent they ruin the anime
Thanks! I'll give that a go

Patlabor 2: The Movie (1993)
Director: Mamoru Oshii. Scene director: Kazuchika Kise (director of Jin-Roh).
Patlabor 2 is exactly the sort of vibe 2042 should’ve pursued
Patlabor is more like 2082 though
It’s set in the far-off year of 2002.
2042 is like "yea this stuff coulr happen even if some isnt likely"
I mean back to the future was set in 2015
Like, at first nobody even had mobile phones and had to run landline phones out to people
bro what
My today's tech. Yea patlabor style robots wont be around any time soon
Phones are one thing. Walking robots with portable fusion reactors are a bit more
Call it a 2142 prelude.
It's fucking mind blowing how much has changed with technology in the last 30 years tho. We better get flying cars within 50 years 
It certainly is
dang nammit, my name is going to have to stay the same again
The robodogs are neat and all but like a walking robot with the armor of a tank and weapons of a tank is beyond the capability atm
Like you have to imagine how much power each leg would need to both balance while running and move the entire tank-weight vehicle
Metal Gear
💀
And then add possibly firing and adapting to terrain
So every step made whikr running needs a supercomputers worth of fine motor control on motors capable of lifting and propelling a tank
Thing is, Labors are actually pretty low weight. They can’t stand up to actual AT ordnance.
was the railgun tank nerfed in the latest update? 3.1
Even if you make em of plastic and carbon fiber they're going to be very heavy
The heavy stuff are usually quad-walkers and typically use wheels to get around
Either way we dont have any materials or power sources close to operating em
The Boin icon wasn't always yellow on the battlepass was it? Or did they increase the intensity of the yellow?
There's a lot of good breakthroughs in robotics but nothing capable of carrying a person and a weapon
Used to be white didn't it?
N
YES
Its funny that APS had the same effect as bf heroes "i eat grenades" which instantly erases any explosive
but the new wildcat turn rates means that'll be much more risky for the pilot
The fucking what
yeah like you can avoid being locked with the AA missiles but it you're also much more at risk of just being nailed with any of the main guns since being that low effectively eliminates the third dimension that makes it harder to land shots on moving aircraft
Good. Because we’re not allowed to use the Actual Aimbot AA vehicles have, they should have manual traverse be faster.
Gerpards in Ukraine have been thwacking tiny little drones and cruise missiles real well.
"Gunners" (heavy gun guy)
Had the ability "i eat grenades" and as mentioned it just 100% deleted any explosive device and healed the gunner
Any
Explosive
So like even tank shots

But yea landmines, Trap bombs, rockets etc
do the reloads feel any different to anyone?
they were changed to be smoother
how so?
Judging people you don't know in a public space is pretty common.. especially somone who is a public figure and puts themselves out there on social media.
Incel comment was kinda unfounded, but also funny. Glad your gf and you seem to have a good sense of humor
As far as raging at teammates while playing tournies... honestly really common in "pro gamers" you seem like a very passionate "pro gamer" I get some serious imp Hal vibes and imagine you flaming teammates in a passionate rage.
Also I do like your content and will continue to watch for your opinion on battlefield.
Also Thanks for reaching out to answer questions, honestly kinda cool and humanizing of you.
kinda hard to pinpoint what you mean
I may talk shit about my team’s poor performance but never on an open mic.
hey my 2042 update just says applying update NaN% and isnt doing much what should i do
Guys my KD is 8 now :D ||thats all I can kill in a 40 minute match as a jet||
If the mic’s on it’s purely directed at the enemy.
okay this blood mist effect is really distracting
hey my 2042 update just says applying update NaN% and isnt doing much what should i do
i swear enders uses the search function for his name daily
might need to play a proper match and test out the effects for shooting enemies
the blood mist can't be disabled it seems and I hope the flinch doesn't move the head models too much
Jake is that you?
who else is having hard crashes on bf2042 with directx errors
boys I beat my Heli record :D I now have a max of 60 heli (infantry) kills :D
bit annoyed that the flight assist thing is still this intrusive
hopefully it's actually patched out soon, seems like it's been hard to fix so far
?
this
where it flips without any user input
been posting reports about it almost every season since s1 broke it, this one fix would literally rekindle my desire to play more
tell me, what do you think is statistically the best weapon for medium range?
Is that the.... do you WANT the helo to flip over and crash?
I want it to not flip without user input
simple as that
flipping by itself is what the flight assist option does
and should do, exlcusively
So like you're just hovering and it tries to go apeshit i dont get it
so in that clip, I move my mouse to the right, and let go, and it spins itself to orient itself upright without me even touching the mouse
that just ain't it chief, and it worked that way before season 1 came along
I can't fly helicopters in third person in this game, hate that the camera is always level with the horizon, can't tell how far I'm rolling, which is kind of like, super important when piloting 
Like always go to stable when input stops
Well the change to Manifest is a sidegrade at best. It's still a bad map imo
Only 4 gigs huh
idk it just appeared? there wasnt any sort of announcement, espeically not in #game-news !!!
Yeah did they update every texture
that's exactly the point, the assist is OFF
Or like replaced large sections of core code
yet it still does this
Thankfully my PlayStation can do these downloads in minutes but wtf is 4gb
On a average day
I dont fly enough to care too nuch but yea seems its not going 100% off either by design or accident
Is it even worse with it "on"
Got off school early cause the power went out and I have to wait 5 minutes to play battlefield
Gee, I don't fucking know, they just dropped it out of the blue, I mean, what content could it possibly have? if only the developers told us 24+ hours before it released....
If only they did
No comment lmao
You have the data, spill the deets 
Sniper
If the re-stabilizing effect increases then the devs must just never want a fully unstable flight i guess
Shotgun
I'm not sure how a reeeal helicopter would behave i guess. But i kinds do feel there is some stability built in to a helicopters design
I know like if the engine blows on a helicopter, they can still land as long as the rotor/blades can free spin
Did they have a option to change how the jet camera works in other bf games? It’s satisfying as hell flying without the camera changing moving until you flip
Yeah I feel like they wouldn’t be considered viable if they just randomly flipped shit for no reason
Oh I see what it was now nvm
You'd think
That’s not in game news
with 3.1 did they make the 1911 useable or is it still the worst gun in the entire game
If i could post images, the self-righting thing does have some physics to it in that its kinda like a weight tied to a string
So it you pretend the strings direction is the orientation of the chopper and you move that the chopper tilts, the current force direction is sngled right, but then the weight shifts and the weight moves right thus reorienting the vehicle right side up after having traversed some distance
This only reaches an unstable outcome if the direction of force tilts too far 90+ degrees and the rotor pulls down
Or if the lift component of the forces being too low and an abrupt landing occurs
So much like the weight on a string,
To keep the helo at an angle youd need continually force to overcome the stabilizing effect of the weight of the crafts body
And thus travel continually to the side
Oooh looks like manifest got a new rush layout. I thought that was just gonna be for breakaway
Ai can drive boltes now
They're learning
Sometime on bot battles I'll call in crap just so the bots have some vehicles
Soon the AI will reach the peak of their intelligence and they will learn how to give us, the players full control of their body 😎
Otherwise its
-march in formation to the next flag until LOS with the enemy-
"Preseeeent... arms!... aiiim.. volley!"
despite it working perfectly fine in bf4
Or it working worse in bf4
do you need higher settings to see blod splatter on walls or are they just gone?
Am i the only one getting black screen all the time today? only altf4 works
if they want it to automatically rotate, set that to be what the flight assist toggle does, since that's literally its purpose
Try the usual suspect
Graphics driver
will try reinstalling
I believe they built in a slight stabilization in to simulate the physics of a helicopter, and flight assist just enhances that effect. So i doubt theres a way to go full no-physics bf4 mode
Because i doubt myself that they're fully simulating the physics exactly a quarter as well as kerbal space program
you say that but before season 1 that's literally how it worked
no faults at all, felt great
you'd bank to the side and stay there
then one update broke it ever since
But what I'm saying is.
If you did play a game where the helicopters ARE fully physically simulated, it'll be more like how it is now
Either I never noticed the heartbeat sound or it's significantly more pronounced with this update
okay cool
I've disabled it because it makes me queasy
I've got a few helicopters on kerbal and where its not an ideal simulation. They do self-right and the only way you get around that is with devices that prevent it, or poor design
Ie the propeller on the bottom
Or somehow middle
doesn't explain why they changed it after it feeling right at launch
I don't care about realism
it worked fine and now it's just consistently inconsistent, annoying and simply worse for anyone wanting fine control
They fixed it because it was wrong?
I will keep making these posts until someone official says it's meant to be this way, and if it is then I simply won't bother flying anymore
Welcome to the infantry
The only inherently unstable flight is in one case and that's rockets where the source of thrust is below the center of gravity
changing it so it's correct would actually raise the skill floor, as well as the ceiling. people who complain about helis have it in their best interest as well as the pilots
Does he reply often? Lol
almost every time i see his name mentioned he replies
this game is so good
I saw a full squad of AI working together once it was like a trailer seeing a full squad work together and dropping ammo for their downed teammate
Last time I went to a mcdonalds i wanted a shamrock shake
"Sorry the machine is down. Do you want anything else?"
[Nodontthinkiwill.gif]
Mcdonalds ice cream machines are immortal in the year 2042
I've got a whole bunch of clips that I want to save but all of them have my mic audio as well as game, how can I just make them game audio?
I figure i dont care for the meat they have and thera better icecream
every time I record with geforce it creates two audio tracks, but trimming the video just combines them and I don't want that
I also got an un-mixed cherry limeade from sonic once. That somehow made it past QC
Like it should be firetruck frigin red so red you can see it through the lid
It was just gray and i checked and sure enough it was like all the red in the bottom
Jake Gyllenhaal CONFIRMED?????
rip Mackay (Scout TF2)
I knew a real mackay in army basic that acted a lot lot like the 2042 mackay
Im 99.9 Percent sure they based the look off Jake as a meme. Just like what they did to Andrew Tate
Was he Canadian???
Maybe by 2042 he was
Oh wait i knew TWO mackays at the same post even but neither knew each other
One was in the hospital
Same mannerisms
It was weird
god the whole andrew tate shit is grating its been literally over 3 months and people are still apparently at such a stage of pattern recognition that "omg bald guy with beard" is a novel point to them
So maybe it's genetic
Ammo for downed people...this checks out
Does the data mine on this possible specialist have a known special/gadget
Since he diesnt exactly have a pipboy or a satellite dish on his head
? there's been nothing regarding a new specialist for a while
If the image is real
that's mackay
there wouldn't be a full model of a specialist in game 3 months before it's added
Either its andrew tate or the artist pit bull with a tan. Take your pick
Well theyd have concept art at least
or it's just. a guy with a beard?
bearded Sundance since she is NON-BINARY

Think the devs forgot themselves shes non binary
https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/zeld5x/angel_does_it_again_not_mine_credits_to/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb Angel should been the Battelfield 2042 Mascot instead of Rao
Literally the cover for the game
I thought mackay was the mascot
Cover?
Is Sundance squirrel girl
Yes
The game case is rao
Hi guys, how can i change the in-game language of bf2042?
Honestly thought it was mackay till I looked
Anyone but rao I don’t know anyone who uses rao unless it’s for missions
Never seen the game case
front cover of 2042 is literally rao
since im on pc
Didnt know the game had a cover
google it
Translate it all
i google it
Only 1 language in this game and it’s violence
and with the new ea play app i can't find the new metohd
ok
PTFO is the only language
The "cover" looks like "generic soldier 001" honestly
Don’t you have to download extra audios for different language s
True but after some research it is confirmed its Rao
It doesnt even have his pipboy
You can literally tell from the image it’s rao
So its like rao minus rao
You have to download languages
The audio in different languages
On ps5 it shows you can do that at least
yea but im on pc
"Ea play app"
we did it boys
Wowww
Oh they changed the cover for 2042 on console it’s just a picture showing season 3 now
I look up bf2042
It's on sale for 8 dollars everywhere else
But when I search up ps5 next to it
It's 20 to 30 dollars
This is unfair
console moment
Its an inferiority tax
or rather Sony moment
Yea when in doubt, sonys fault
because the ps4 version sucks balls
and is a ripoff at $0
And ps4 version has half maps
After 3.0 patch, there is a huge performance boost that my GPU always run at 96-97% and it gave me about 20% more FPS, which is 110-120FPS at HIGH settings. But after patch 3.1 today, my FPS now back to pre 3.0, which is 90-100FPS in HIGH settings, the performance boost has been reversed, but my GPU still running at 96-97%. Any1 get the same problem?
Half maps aren't even that bad tbh
Also I pray they do this next update
Please let me see the ENTIRE map
Alex any fixes for the ACR in the near future ROF and mag size by chance 
that's not a fix
Whenever I touch the touchpad
Touchpad?
You know how you see the entire map when you touch the touchpad on next gen version
You have to hold it cause of the new mininap zoom
It's hard explaining things when you can't post images
Mao zoom and size is 1 bind
That’s definitely a fix
no
And 30rd mags for the p125

They turned the only night map into a dawn map 💀
Long
EAC gives me an "Unknown file version (BF2042.exe)", tried giving the launcher and game exe admin privileges, and after that now EA launcher says it's got a connection issue, i've been googling nonstop and i can't find a single solution or post in regards to this problem
rush 128
Try repairing the game? Maybe it installed the wrong version
did they improve the footstep sound cuz i can hear the deeper sound of their boots when walking on stuff making the exact same sound as my winter boots
waiting for EA launcher to finish repairing, it's taking forever
moves 1% every 10-15 minutes
i literally just finished installing it, idk why it's giving me these issues
wanted to try it out thanks to gamepass before buying it, but i can't even find solutions to this problem, not in EA's forum, neither on reddit
Thats what they needed to do a long time ago at dice
Seems like the GVT can still ohk hs past the ~150m?
But you need to take off the 6ku for that.
Just saying but i ain't having a good first impression of 2042...
You havent had any impression
cuz it just won't launch
Yea its not the first time in history an initial install hasnt worked
Is your gfx driver up to date
EA is notorious for being picky about drivers
