#

if everyone uses a browser, then clearly there is no demand for the matchmaking alternative

#

go back to BFV, automade servers for people to join

next onyx
#

People quick match and randomly join an all out warfare server. Those people wanting a specific experience go through the browser.

ebon pilot
#

Do lobby merges still work in this system?

next onyx
#

You mean how lobbies end and conjoin?

#

That never happened.

ebon pilot
#

In AOW matchmaking, two separate lobbies for the same map can be merged together in the waiting room if conditions are right

next onyx
#

That never happened in the older games the games naturally filled up.

#

People would leave one lobby and find another.

pastel loom
next onyx
#

Yeah definitely.

ebon pilot
#

Being able to merge partial lobbies together is great for eliminating mostly empty servers.

fringe spire
#

Are you supposed to see when your squadmates ping a location ?

#

I can hear but not see the point they ping

#

the thing when you double tap Q

#

(A on my french keyboard zzzzzz)

fathom osprey
#

BF is i would say probably a minority of games where you are not required to be in the game as it starts. I feel like matchmaking is kind of redundant in a scenario where you can join mid game.

pastel loom

#

Not sure Chal.

next onyx
fringe spire
#

I know I know

#

conventional keyboard layouts are an abomination

#

but it's the standard and whole world has muscle memory now

next onyx
#

Yeah I don't blame you for that.

fringe spire
#

wait you can REALLY put a bipod on the vector smg in bf2042 ? XD

#

bruh

next onyx
#

Yeah.

#

I have it for the memes.

pine roost
#

Yo they are buffing strafe speeds?

#

Pog

next onyx
#

Yeah they're toning down Mackay's speed a bit and increasing normal soldier speeds by a bit.

fringe spire
#

so mackay ends up being unchanged ?

pine roost
#

Look forward to seeing how that plays out

fringe spire
#

or still nerfed overall

pine roost
#

Strafe speeds have been incredibly slow for the longest time

idle lion

@next onyx i sent you a frq, my name is PhialAU

#

how to people build their m5 ?

#

I was considering high power + short barrel

shy latch
#

depends, M5 is versatile

fringe spire
#

looking at the numbers it felt like the most versatile variant of it

#

low ttk thanks to the short barrel fire rate

#

and good range performance by tap firing thanks to high power damage

shy latch
#

generally I use short barrel + close combat mag, otherwise short barrel + standard mag will be ok

fringe spire
#

once I unlock it, I was considering switching to extended standard mag mid deployment

#

btw it's kind of OP that you can switch ammo types and all of a sudden that ammo type is full

shy latch
#

sometimes I also use a 4x scope with long barrel and high power rounds, single fire mode (generally just to disturb snipers/far away people)

fringe spire
#

makes ammo crates extra redundant

shy latch
fringe spire
#

nah

shy latch
#

yes

fringe spire
#

m5, ak, am40

shy latch
#

BSV is a good example

fringe spire
#

all of them I have extra ammo types

#

I never run out

#

ok well BSV is a weird case

#

because it's used as an AR but it's in DMR category

#

so it has DMR multipliers and ammo capacity

#

but tbh with 3 different types of large mags I'm ok

shy latch
#

not only for that, but because you don't have so many mags for each type of bullet

fringe spire
#

yes

#

the reserve ammo is lower for DMR

#

the price to pay for that juicy headshot mult

shy latch
#

not only BSV but also K30 (if I'm not wrong) and for SVK as well

fringe spire
#

k30 is fine with ammo

shy latch
#

don't remember, I struggled with that weapon to achieve the T1

fringe spire
#

svk perhaps, I never use it cuz I prefer the dm7

shy latch
#

once achieved I was so happy to don't use it anymore 😅

fringe spire
#

I only play DMR to unlock the VSS

shy latch
#

but someones said VCAR is good now, I should try it one day

idle lion
#

man manifest bt is unbalanced asf

shy latch
#

unfortunately imo Manifest isn't good as before, it literally needed 2 more covers on few points instead of those deep modifications

next onyx
#

VCAR is fun.

shy latch
#

VCAR has been buffed recently or what? last time I used it was before the beginning of S1

next onyx
#

It was buffed in that big stealth weapon buff.

#

If I had to assume.

#

It's a 3HK within 30 m with close combat.

#

It is so worth it.

shy latch
#

what about the mouse? VCAR has higher rof than DM7, so there is high chance to destroy the left button 😅

digital turret
#

750 tickets on Rush XL? Dice are you okay?

#

F for defenders

fringe spire
#

kinda sad I have to rely on sym.gg for weapon data, and even that is not updated

#

imo video game wikis should be part of the game

#

not just bf

#

Is bf2042 getting any xmas stuff?

#

Most likely not due to the backlash.

#

Actually there might be.

#

But I'm not sure.

#

Does anyone know what „universal weapons“ are? For the one weekly mission in battle pass

sharp marten
#

Hmmm universal weapon

#

Would it just be any weapons then

shy latch
#

oh yeah, today is Tuesday

#

could anyone post this week missions screenshot?

scenic frost
#

Ayo lads

#

Which sniper is better?

#

Now that i unlocked the x8 for the SW it feels way better to snipe from long ranges

#

but i just unlocked the DRX1

shy latch
#

it depends from play style

#

SWS is good for more aggressive sniper

#

DXR is good for very long range

idle lion
#

or the NTW for trolling

shy latch
#

NTW is good for 1HK

sharp marten
#

Personally the railgun can do a lot of damage as well

scenic frost
#

Yeah, but i loathe the charge time

shy latch
#

Rorsch MK-IV (that is under utility) has almost no bullet drop

scenic frost
#

and it feels like cheating, idk

scenic frost
shy latch
#

yes, until 100 meters if I remember correctly

scenic frost
#

ugh

#

I don't do aggro sniping

shy latch
#

but it has a big bullet drop (at the end it's still an anti-material)

scenic frost
#

i rather sit my ass far away xD

#

makes sense

#

I wanna get the SOFLAM too so spotting gets easier

#

but im only level 25 lol

shy latch
#

just give time to the time

radiant prism
#

Stick with the SWS and unlock the GOL sniper magnum

#

They’re both pretty good snipers

shy latch
#

it's pretty easy to reach lvl 60 and having everything unlocked

scenic frost
#

but i am missing the other thing

shy latch
#

oh right, I forgot about GOL 😅

scenic frost
#

wish there was a barret or a M200 tho

#

:/

radiant prism
#

Ohh also the Railgun is a pretty good sniper that has some close range viability with its other fire modes

shy latch
#

a couple of days ago I did a headshot kill at 380 meters using the Rorsch with its default 2x scope....so satisfying

maiden thistle

#

I wonder

#

In bf2042

#

Since the Russians are attacking the Americans weapon suppliers

#

(the cubes)

#

Does that mean we will soon get a map of American attacking Russian suppliers

#

Or something else

stoic ferry
#

or a stuck convoy

#

to make it more real

granite island
#

Maybe the territory

#

Well no

#

Not the territory

#

Basically attacking the border

#

Of Russia

#

Maybe that would be a good map

stoic ferry
#

yes and RU tanks should all be t72 since they will still use whatever is left of them in 2042

Actually lemme try imagining what the terrain of Russia would look like in 22 years

So I'm playing Bf 2042 for free now, it's free, I found a way

spiral folio
#

There is some logic to it. Like run full sprint with a 10lb rifle then bring it to sights like it's not there. I mean go do it with a plastic airsoft rifle even

drifting egret
#

I play Airsoft, it's not possible to run with a rifle like they do in BF lol

#

my airsoft rifle actualy weight more than the real ar15

spiral folio
#

Along the lines why sun tzu says if youre enemy is charging you, let them charge. Dont charge to meet them

dapper river
spiral folio
#

I never cared about season pass stuff til 2042 cause like bf5s were all stupid crap like "50 kills with weapon you hate"

#

19 knife kills

#

3 grenade kills vs planes

drifting egret
#

once you play for free, you have some other options opened...

dapper river
spiral folio
#

The worst were unlocks for weapons that had nothing to do with the weapon ie the antitank rifle unlocks were awful

drifting egret
scenic frost
spiral folio
#

They do make paintball guns with realistic mags but they cost a lot more

#

Otherwise paintballs are too fragile to feed like a bullet

drifting egret
#

nah man it's just not it, airsoft is way way better,

hallow sierra
#

everyone have like 30 kills while i when 50-7 in menifest

dapper river
drifting egret
#

if you're into ghuilles and sniper stuff, it's really good

scenic frost
#

one thing that pisses me off in paintball

#

is aiming

spiral folio
#

You'll get better ballistics with a smaller denser pellet

scenic frost
#

and watching the balls go anywhere but where you're aiming

drifting egret
#

in airsoft it hit doesn't count if you don't aim

dapper river
drifting egret
#

so you can't go behind cover and spray around without looking

spiral folio
#

I used to have this cheap airsoft gun and if you used ultra light weight pellets you could curve them by turning the "hop" up

drifting egret
#

you got judges in airsoft lol, cheaters like less than 1% and if you're cought cheating you're banned

scenic frost
#

We have a forest field close to where i live that is super cool, since its quite dense so it has a lot of cover

scenic frost
#

but playing paintball there means 60% of your mag is going to end up painting the trees

drifting egret
#

i tried both i'll tell you airsoft is way more fun, you got alot of more things to play

spiral folio
#

You could turn it like 60 degrees sideways and reliably curve it around corners

#

The trigger mechanism broke

drifting egret
#

paintball looks like a theme park where people wear traffic control suits

spiral folio
#

So now its a blow gun

drifting egret
#

in airsoft you can play different things

royal trail
#

once riding a public buss someone shot a window with a paintball bullet. it still made quite the sound and freaked people out

drifting egret
#

the thing is, like, it's really different things

#

airsoft is a bit more serious, paintball is like a circus attraction

#

it's down to personal taste in my opinion, I tried both, I didn't like paintball at all, had guys in my team just unloading a bag of balls directly into the feed trough a wine hose, it looked funny

spiral folio
#

Ive known people who did it i never got pricey ones

drifting egret
#

like literally as they should they unload a bag of balls from a shopping bag trough a hose like when you pour liquids from one bottle to another

spiral folio
#

I still have an old clear plastic air pistol

#

Somehow that one survived

#

All the rest broke

fiery shoal
#

paintball actually has a pro scene and its less likely to have cheaters, thats why i play pb over airsoft

drifting egret
#

airsoft milsim look like the real deal, except they shot smaller rangers with plastic balls

spiral folio
#

Pretty sure they both do

drifting egret
#

there's no pro scene in airsoft tho 😄 itr's made to be fun and a downtime, not a job

fiery shoal
#

airsoft has "speedsoft" which isnt anything close to speedball for paintball

drifting egret
#

I don't like indoor airsoft, there's no fun in it

fiery shoal
#

i do wish paintball was as cheap as airsoft

spiral folio
#

The actual army borked my legs and back too much to pretend to play soldier

#

I didnt do combat stuff but nah

fiery shoal
#

hardly anyone plays soldier in pb

spiral folio
#

Its still pretend combat

#

Jumping and runnin around playing soldier

fiery shoal
#

ehhh, i dont see it in that light, its just shooting at people for fun

spiral folio
#

It's literally pretend combat

#

Even if itd a sticky colored ball on a stick

fiery shoal
#

i mean.. not "pretend combat" would just be war and killing people.. which obviously isnt something that most people want to do

#

thats just a weird way to look at it again

#

people dont play pb because they want to experience anything like war, people play pb just to play a sport

#

thats kind of a major difference between airsoft and pb

spiral folio
#

The tactics still apply like an infantry team will ruin an amateur team

fiery shoal
#

i cant say for sure about "army tactics" working in paintball, but at least for speedball im pretty sure they wont

#

especially considering a major aspect of speedball is to score by touching the opposite teams buzzer as many times as possible

spiral folio
#

I also mean infantry cause this one fatass mechanic i knew played and... yea

scenic frost
#

Listen, i like airsoft over paintball because 2 things:

  • I can put as much tacticool shit on my rifle as i want
  • projectiles actually go to where i am
#

Paintball is much more accesible to the general public

spiral folio
#

What's that super-real airsoft company tokyo marui or something

#

They cost more than a real rifle

fiery shoal
scenic frost
#

the second

fiery shoal
#

gotcha

#

yea im confused why airsoft isnt more popular, its way cheaper and more player friendly to beginners

brisk imp
scenic frost
#

And idk 'bout your country, but here you rent the field in airsoft. No one lets you rent guns.

fiery shoal
#

oh shit thats weird

scenic frost
#

However in paintball for 20 bucks you have 3 hours and a rifle with 500 shots

fiery shoal
#

i know pb fields here have rentals, and im pretty sure the airsoft fields do as well

scenic frost
#

Which is why i said what i said

fiery shoal
#

they charge you by the hour? weird

#

where are you playing?

scenic frost
spiral folio
#

They think youll use 500 rounds im 20 min?

fiery shoal
#

ive not played airsoft at a field, but for pb you just pay for a day pass and paint

scenic frost
#

and since out of 10 balls maybe 3 go to where you're pointing your gun...

#

We wanna have fun, not run a military op lol

spiral folio
#

Ah like for all people

#

Not one guy goin ham just spamming off shots

scenic frost
#

nope

fiery shoal
#

for pb 500 rounds will last most players 2 hours, for speedball that lasts 5 minutes

scenic frost
#

We usually are quite conservative in the first round and as time goes by, we stop trying to xD

fiery shoal
#

for recaball i go through about 1000-1500 balls in 4-5 hours

fiery shoal
#

parnets? nope

hallow sierra
#

i didnt realize i spell it wrong

fiery shoal
#

gotcha

#

what do you mean by that though?

#

youd think parents would want their kids to play airsoft since its cheaper and more player friendly

hallow sierra
#

u know some think it looks like a real weapon

fiery shoal
#

ah.. yea

#

i mean... they are generally meant to be replicas

scenic frost
#

Alright, compare the reaction of an average parent between an airsoft replica and a paintball gun

fiery shoal
#

"that looks like a real gun with an orange tip" (if the kid didnt take it off)

#

"the fuck is that thing at the top" (paintball hopper)

scenic frost
#

More like "Where the fuck did you get that thing from?" Insert rant about guns. But a bit worse in the case of a replica.

#

My point is that unless your parents know about the hobby, they will freak out harder with a replica

#

I bet my left nut on that

fiery shoal
#

hefty wager

breakaway is so lame holy hell

spiral folio
#

I hate that breakaway and exposure have their names reversed

fiery shoal
#

when is breakaway rework coming?

spiral folio
#

I'm sure the meaning is the weapons facility was exposed... after the cliff broke away

#

But like also the BT mode i hate the middle 2 sectors flags are in the canyon. Where nothing of value is

Hourglass should be deleted from BF2042 until they remade it

#

Don't like building deleted so you have less cover?leo

#

Distance from a to the ships or b to ships is so huge too it feels like a waste to run down then have to double back.. unless you have a vehicle to call in or got a random one to jump in

spiral folio
#

If you hate containers / connexes the military has news for you

mental delta
#

New Manifest is still not that good, map is too large and people are attacking on B only again

ember nimbus
#

The map doesn't really play that much different imo

fiery shoal
#

its just a smaller tighter manifest... which is like... exactly as advertised

mental delta
#

It's still nothing impressive then

#

Overall design isn't that good

fiery shoal
#

imo its still a top 3, maybe 5, map for 128 conquest

mental delta
#

I hope Breakaway remake will be more impressive gameplay wise

fiery shoal
#

i always have fun with it

ember nimbus
#

I am a fan of the additional cover, don't get me wrong but

mental delta
#

To me it's just a decent one but not a good one

#

Orbital remaining the best to me

fiery shoal
#

ive not played the new orbital

#

its out yea?

mental delta
#

Yeah

#

It's better than the previous version which was already good

fiery shoal
#

just realized i havent gotten that map... not that i play a lot

#

imo first orbital was absolutely mid

#

center area almost completely useless, you just had a cluster fuck at the D points

mental delta
#

Too large but overall design is good and landscape is amazing

#

Now it's not too large anymore

fiery shoal
#

update looks great

mental delta
#

Yes

ember nimbus
#

It also plays pretty similarly to how it did before; but the new cover and obstacles was needed more than manifest needed it

mental delta
#

I would like to see the new version of Discarded because this one is actually really bad to me

ember nimbus
#

I can't wait for the breakaway rework

fiery shoal
#

wow you hating on all my favorite maps

ember nimbus
#

Breakaway is my favorite map

fiery shoal
#

discarded imo is great, the ship and the flooded area are probably some of my favorite places to fight

mental delta
fiery shoal
ember nimbus
#

Good for you

mental delta
fiery shoal
#

what do you mean by the design?

mental delta
#

Breakaway can be really fun but once again the design is bad lol, the new version of it looks really promising though

mental delta
fiery shoal
#

but if its fun how is the design also bad?

#

id only rate design on how fun it is personally

spiral folio
#

I hate when maps have "the part where you run a long way towarr the cluster fuck area"

#

Ie hourglass last sectors and the oil rig

mental delta
spiral folio
#

The run in breakaway wasnt as bad when i realized there's a path below the bridge

fiery shoal
#

i dont think having bad areas or empty space between other places makes a map bad, as long as getting to the action is easy its fine

problem with manifest is that on breakthrough it induces people to camp on both sides a lot more than be very aggressive/quick paced. It gives a chance for the bad player to kill a better player because the bad player has been hiding in some acute corner for 5 min and finally getting a kill

Some weapons need ammo crate more then others

New-manifest has at least more intricate "terrain" where old manifest was like "heres 5000ft of open tarmac, GL bye"

fiery shoal

#

that's hard depending on situation

#

only time i think ammo crate is viable is for sniping

spiral folio
#

Yea not all enemies are accessible or within 200m

no one said ALL are, but generally speaking they SHOULD be within 100m unless you are sniping and accessible at some point

if i drop a hoe in front of a doorway and im out of ammo and it's right in a hallway where people are chillin in...i don't wanna go in front of that door. Also, yes there are multiple ammo types, but I always stick to using only one

fiery shoal
#

its not hard to counter the downtime with a call in or spawn beacon

spiral folio
#

Even if you're sniping at "only" 100m most of the pickups will be gone before you get there

fiery shoal
spiral folio
#

I'm really not wildly surprised they did this. Snipers typically eat shit 2nd half of a BF games life

mental delta
# fiery shoal i just consider those people dumb honestly

I understand them, when people say me they don't like BF the recurrent reason is because they hate having to walk that much to get into gunfights, maps like Discarded just don't give a good image of BF to those who are strangers to BF

Unfortunately most shooter games are majority populated by people who dont right click

#

i dont think having slightly more complicated systems than cod is a criticism when the fault is on the players

#

games can be more complicated than cod and not be at fault

ember nimbus
#

The class change will simplify things a tiny bit

#

Not that it was all that complicated beforehand

fiery shoal
#

having open space isnt a problem, it is when its TOO open which is the case for a good amount of 2042 maps/areas, but this idea that any open space is "bad" and the devs fault just because players are dumb is a bit weird to me

spiral folio
#

The class thing will bottleneck ammo and medics a ton. It doesnt hekp that the recon specialists suck and the support ones are all exactly what i dont want

#

the only BP i like are the ones that give you money back to fund future BP

#

ideally we all want the major content like maps, weapons and specialists to be free for balance/player pool reasons, but that just naturally means that the only thing left to charge for is cosmetics

#

which imo, i dont really care for in a fps

magic bloom
#

I mean I don’t have a problem with premium cosmetics as long as people like what they’re spending their money on

tacit sphinx
fiery shoal
#

i really dont even look at BP so i wouldnt know

#

afaik the only BP ive bought was fortnite, and thats cause i got 1k vbucks for free

#

which yea, they give you back vbucks so it was just a no brainer to use my free vbucks on the bp to get even more vbucks

tough flax
#

same here but i like the skins it gives too, cosmetics idc for either

scenic frost
#

CoD does that and i think its a good meeting point between costumers and monetization

fiery shoal
#

well tbf fortnite is at least third person and its just a goofy game that can put out goofy/cool skins

tough flax
fiery shoal

something like bf is held to a sort of "realistic" standard when it comes to skin

and you cant even see them...

If i see a clown skin in Bf i am going to turn into the fucking Joker

so the player skins are a waste really

anyone caring about skins in a fps title i question their priorities

cause game is still very very cpu dependent, even after recent updates, so its more so a cpu-based metric than a visual one

if you have an rtx, only thing i can really recommend is turning off RTAO and DLSS, even tho the latter is nice, it can have performance impacts

ya know I just installed a new cooler today I was running stock, stock would idle at 150F
it probably runs better just from that as the new cooler cut my cpu temps in half

then i dont really know what to suggest, i mean the high fidelity objects setting being set to low/med is a good start, same with undergrowth and shadows, but tbh you wont see a major fps change from the visual settings

i mean if you want to try, you can go all low, see what fps you get, if its good, raise it a tad until you feel it stressing
but again its not gonna be great, game still has pisspoor optimization

You should be ok.

tho way i will say, after turning off game bar capturing, i had a slight decrease in cpu%

#

i think ive been avg ~85-90% instead of 95%+

#

so its possible just having xbox capture, perhaps i was capturing at a high fps, was a culprit

#

well actually the settings say 30fps @ Standard, which is lowest

#

regardless i turned it off to help

I copied silk's settings and textures seem so low quality yet everything that deals with texture quality is set to max
