[shy latch]

oh man...

[quaint vector]

Ahhh yes... We have Windows Double XP..

#DICEpls

[low timber]

Is that when you install two Windows XP’s?

[shy latch]

double green hills

[last swift]

multi-screen XP

[quaint vector]

Aaaaaaaa..

[shy latch]

Windows, weren't you a mod trainee until few days ago? or am i confusing with somebody else?

[pearl ridge]

I guess kaleidoscope is shit no matter what size

I swear there’s only two city maps in existence that don’t suck

[next onyx]

Would be cool if it used its BT layout for CQ.

[pearl ridge]

And neither of them are in this game.

Always with these wide-ass open spaces and infinite snipers

[quaint vector]

I was promoted to Mod..

[arctic grove]

Which ones?

[pearl ridge]

Amiens and Rotterdam.

[shy latch]

then: congratulations! 🥳 💪 🍰

[pearl ridge]

Devastation is on thin fucking ice.

[low timber]

You don’t like Seine Crossing?

[next onyx]

Seinne crossing...

It inspired them to do Rotterdam for bf5.

Which was great.

[quaint vector]

Thanks.

[arctic grove]

Forgot to say happy Friday everyone!

[quaint vector]

Would love to see Rotterdam in BF2042

[next onyx]

Hey Marse you think I can get to tier 85 before my sleep tablets knock me out?

Happy Friday!

[low timber]

BP?

[arctic grove]

can't wait to hop on tonight after a long day of work

I started at 6am this morning

[next onyx]

5/10.

[arctic grove]

Great

[chilly jacinth]

85?

did you buy some tiers?

[quaint vector]

They turned on Double XP's when I finished Battle Pass yesterday...

[chilly jacinth]

or have you been playing like a mad man

[arctic grove]

wait its on tonight??

[pearl ridge]

Amiens could be really good with a modern era remake, but I’m worried that modern weapons would make it annoying.

[arctic grove]

Friday got even better

[low timber]

Go for T1 badge

[quaint vector]

Its live right now

[pearl ridge]

Those field guns really made it.

[quaint vector]

For sure

[next onyx]

No I don't buy tiers.

[quaint vector]

Same here. I didn't bought a single Tier

[low timber]

Why’s there a caravan inside the gtao casino

[quaint vector]

Its not worth it

[limber raft]

[shy latch]

sorry, I have a bad news for you: the cake is finish already (I eat it all) 😓

[low timber]

I knew it!

[quaint vector]

No problem at all..

[robust vapor]

Amiens 2042

[slim hound]

What if Lis gained one extra missile everytime she hit a target with one?
Because now you can get into situations where you hit both of your missiles on a tank and then sit on your hands for however-many-seconds waiting for your missile to recharge

[quaint vector]

No

[shy latch]

mmh, I wouldn't touch Lis' ability

[quaint vector]

Just

No

[shy latch]

I mean it's almost the same if you have any other specialist equipped with the C5 Recoiless: you can't destroy a tank with 3 missiles

[chilly jacinth]

that would be incredibly op

and would make ground vehicles completely obsolete

[frigid creek]

Hey guys. Does anyone know if jet’s controls can be adjusted somehow? It doesn’t matter if the aim sensitivity 100 or 0 it feels wonky, especially the pitch. I play on PS5 and every time I need to aim a bit up or down it just drastically throws my crosshair. Strafing stealth chopper with controller is almost impossible… and that’s supposed to be an air vehicle counter.

[slender isle]

No

[frigid creek]

Sad

[slender isle]

If you turn too hard too fast the air pushes you down making you slow your turn and have hella Gs… at least that’s how the game shows it

[frigid creek]

I see

Thanks for response

Inside vehicle, no zoom

[shy latch]

Bernoulli's law 😏

even tho has nothing to do with Gs...

[slender isle]

Game still shows you almost blacking out when doing a sharp up wards climb

[frigid creek]

So in the current state, jet doesn’t work with ground targets and with with air vehicles as well. (Air to Air rockets doesn’t count)

Interesting

[shy latch]

specialists' blood goes from head to legs

[slender isle]

It works with ground targets if you use agm

They murder ground vehicles

[frigid creek]

Ok

[shy latch]

I never piloted a jet during a matchmaking, I found it incredibly difficult to use it with M&K

[slender isle]

But AA is hard due to controls and the nightbird Being better at everything

[fluid portal]

did you know: during double xp weekend the xp you gain is doubled

[frigid creek]

Just bought the game and haven’t unlocked everything yet. I was struggling with controls the entire evening. After bf4 and bf1 it feels… different.

[shy latch]

because it's different

[slender isle]

They don’t have any counter controls for hard turns. In bf1 you’ll turn as fast as your mouse

[pine roost]

Have you got a video showing this off?

[frigid creek]

I noticed that A10 from portal has somewhat similar to bf3 flying model. Hope they’ll bring it to regular conquest

[frigid creek]

What do you mean?

[pine roost]

Just showing off how it reacts to your inputs

[frigid creek]

I don’t have a video. I made my server in portal and tried all planes and different control settings for them

All planes fly the same except A10

[next onyx]

The A10 would unironically be the best jet just because it can actually do something.

If they gave it to 2042 soldiers.

[frigid creek]

I thought bf2042 planes could be adjusted somehow to match A10 from portal

[frigid creek]

It’s a beast lol

[next onyx]

Yeah though these are much better than 2042 jets.

The attack planes are literally so many times better.

I want to abuse it on flashback Rush but the bots always get it.

[frigid creek]

Let’s hope dice port it to conquest

[next onyx]

I doubt it but it would be cool.

[edgy oriole]

is this evil seananners

evil seananners it is

[frigid creek]

Alright. Thanks everyone for your replies

[fierce solar]

In case someone is curious, you can get 2042 on Epic for like ~12 quid with the holiday sale + free holiday coupon

[pine roost]

Oh yeah the a10 has a completely different flight model, as well as fixing bugs present in the base jets

[next onyx]

One more game and I'm rank 85 in the battle pass.

[still vault]

Didn't have time to farm the double xp weekend enough 😦

85 is quite a bit

[pastel loom]

16th December but I'm not seeing a ps trial for the game

[still vault]

16th means it will be sometimes today, can't say when, probably depends on when Sony flips a switch in your area

[pastel loom]

4pm here so I was asking

[topaz field]

https://clips.twitch.tv/EphemeralMushyNuggetsPastaThat-87tQ2ol6uEKVqvLp

LMFAOOOOOOOOO

[iron field]

Anyone having the “unable to load persistence data” error right now

[true vortex]

ok MP9 is my meme weapon

basically kolibri with streoids

[sharp marten]

Double xp babyeee

[heavy heron]

Hello, do you know if they give away Christmas skins this week like last year, it's just that they can't get it

[next onyx]

We are not sure.

[robust vapor]

FNB now is Crossbow and Railgun

HMMM

lemme see what I can do

[sharp marten]

[silk surge]

It's free weekend for Playstation ya'll. Time for the Ruler of the Zone grind.

Nvm 😔

[robust vapor]

lmao i just knifed a guy that tried to throw a knife at me

[sharp marten]

[jaunty fjord]

2042 When will the entrance animation be deleted? Every time the animation is finished, the head of my character model is misplaced. Why not just start the game 5 seconds after spawning in the previous generation, but lock it and wait for a 30-second countdown

[still vault]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/850376380822323230/1040295356082167919/1002665444903227463.gif

[arctic grove]

why is it thatt people hate campers so much? campers are one of the easiest targets to take out, you know where they are, like duuhhh

and its also part of the game just like snipers and tanks and planes are

[pastel loom]

are you sure there's a trial event? it's not free here yet

[jaunty fjord]

To put it simply, copy the generation mechanism of the previous generation of bf exactly, and delete all the entrance animations. This entrance animation is procrastinated and there are bugs in the character model

[granite island]

Crossbow and railgun is actually fun

[shy latch]

but when it comes camping with a tank on the own spawn point that's the apotheosis of a noob player

I mean, i could understand camping with AA on the spawn point because you don't really look at the ground for any C4 infantry, but camping wit a normal tank....I'll never understand that

[ancient peak]

Eh with how prolific C5 and recoilless are right now, I can understand why people want to sit back. Not all the way in the base sure but you can’t bum rush caps like you used to in other games

[true vortex]

smonke and rush

[pale mango]

just boring

[shy latch]

that's right but is meaningless to stay on base as well, it's part of the game if you die, if you try could kill 3 people and die 1 time so why not?

[ancient peak]

Not exactly a great trade for a tank

[shy latch]

for sure you gonna have higher chances to stay alive if you have at least 1 gunner and going around the map, but camping on base you'll be always alone (a gunner can't do anything at long distances)

[ancient peak]

Eh yes and no. Depends on:

A: Your gunner/gunners aren’t complete potato

B: The enemy team isn’t composed of frothing Mackay and Sundance users with C5 and recoilless rifles

[fossil trench]

2X xp!!!

[granite island]

I like the yellow XP text

Makes it feel special

[visual gazelle]

People complain about how fragile Battlefield V tanks are. 2042's tanks makes V's tanks look beefy.

[arctic grove]

its actually tactics tho, securing the spot for the team is not noob, its what they litterly do in real life and its tactics. its way more fun to be in the push, im in the push constantly, but i do get why people camp and its not noobish at all, its just basic simple tactics

[arctic grove]

i agree, its boring as hell, but i do get it tho

[pale mango]

there’s a difference between holding points and just sitting waiting at the top of a zip line for somebody

[arctic grove]

so a sniper saw you coming and killed you and you call him a camper, guess what, thats the entire job of snipers, to camp

[still vault]

It's pretty well designed actually

[pale mango]

not even snipers half of the time it’s people with ars just sitting there 😭

[solid imp]

The difference between the SFAR and a sniper rifle is sometimes negligible

[pale mango]

true that

[shy latch]

is tactics to camp on the base spawn?

[solid imp]

Seems the age-old BF question rears its head once more 🙂

[arctic grove]

while most of the players push, some is defending their taken base, yes, there is litterly achievements for that and guess what, its called defending.
even in soccer it happens, and dont get me started on baseball where the entire thing is based on camping at base. defenders stay behind and defend while the rest of the team push for more bases

[pale mango]

bro is comparing battlefield to soccer 💀

[shy latch]

uhm no, maybe you are misunderstanding me

[arctic grove]

its an age old fps question that the gamers have twisted into something negative when its so easy in reality to take them down

[pale mango]

i’m glad people can have fun sitting there for 45 minutes in their base but it is not fun for the other 63 people on their team when you have 3 kills by the end of the game

[arctic grove]

the only way camping is a bad thing is when the attacking team has the defending team pinned down at their home base and just spawnkills everyone, thats the only time its negative

[shy latch]

as spawn base I mean the HQ, the one that can't be conquest and the enemy can enter for 10 seconds only (as infantry), i don't mean the objectives; so there is absolutely nothing to defend there

[pale mango]

inb4 colonel 100

[arctic grove]

well i just written that above you, the ppl at home base are mostly afk, unless pinned down by uneven teams

[shy latch]

that is BattleField Friends 😂

[arctic grove]

yes football but had to use soccer so that the americans dont get butthurt so you as an eurpoean (probably) shouldnt be butthurt that i used soccer cause you aint that hypersensitive

[arctic grove]

Or it's a full team and it's BF4 or BF3 lol

[shy latch]

of course I'm not even talking about afk users, as I stated before I'm talking about people with a normal tank but camping in the base/HQ sector

[solid imp]

Let's take Breakthrough or Rush as the game modes with the most clearly defined objectives that both teams have agreed are the priority.. In CQ it's a bit too fuzzy because you could claim anything is "the objective". If you agree that spawning at the HQ and running to the objective is sort of like a "supply line" then a really standard war tactic is disrupting supply lines to isolate the frontline fighters and make them easier to eliminate.

[arctic grove]

yeah the uneven teams completely overhauling the other teams hasnt happened once in bf2042, more ppl helps with that case, even at rounds where we have defenders at each objective it still gets overtaken and objectives are switched and battlefield stays all over the place. now if we just could gget 128vs128 in the next battlefield then we would hit a sweetspot 😄

[arctic grove]

havent happened once in my 40hours of gameplay now, its so rare ppl do that, ppl drive intoi the battlefield and camp on a hill or in a ditch or something, not at HQ

HQ is too far from the action anyway, unless on a smaller map

[shy latch]

then you are lucky, to me it happened a lots (even last night) since BF3 seeing those kind of people

[arctic grove]

On which map?

[shy latch]

any

[arctic grove]

that is completely tactics yeah, but if the round stalls to that point where defending teams just pounds on attacking team at HQ then defending team should take 10 seconds running back where they let attacking teams beeing able to make a push for it, when thats done then run tactics again. camping is not a negative thing unless in that situation

[shy latch]

included Valparaiso that you are totally blind there due to vegetations

[arctic grove]

well i play conquest 128 players, not portal mode, im just in portal mode a round here or there every once in a while just for fun, i do also play rush or breakthrough but 90% of the time goes in conquest only because of 128player mode

[solid imp]

There were some Rush servers back in server-rental days which had mods to allow for nuking and surrender for just that reason

There's some merit to the thought that gameplay stalls out if defenders are simply better

*lots better

[shy latch]

me too I play 128 CQ if Exodus CQ isn't available

[still vault]

same

[arctic grove]

if all modes had 128 players it would be about 60% conquest, 30% rush/breakthrough, 10% portal

[shy latch]

but sometimes happens also there

[arctic grove]

then they are afk

[shy latch]

nope

they shoot with the tank

[arctic grove]

there is litterly nothing to shoot from HQ on most maps

[granite island]

More like 40% aow 50% breakthrough and 10% portal

[solid imp]

votekick vehicle driver option when 😂

[shy latch]

unless they put an automatic timer for right click every....idk....3 seconds

[arctic grove]

if so, let them have their 3 kills at that round, why do you care if they are at HQ, your not attacking HQ so why does it matter?

[shy latch]

I care because a normal tank is totally useless shooting from the HQ

[arctic grove]

thats for you, iwas talking for me, so good you have yours and i have mine, its all good

[shy latch]

they should advance and help nearby infantry troops instead

not be scared and camping at the HQ

[arctic grove]

yes, but you cant get rid of stupid in this world, they are everywhere and they are spreading fast. deal with it

those have nothing to do with camping

Sometimes I have seen AA camping near HQ on Stranded, that's about it for me

[shy latch]

I know that unfortunately

but as I said before I can understand AA

but not normal tanks or MAVs

[arctic grove]

Yeah a tank sitting on HQ is a wimp and a waste of the tank slot

i dont understand AA either cause they end up with 3 kills in 1 round, they get to shoot 1 or 2 planes/heli in 1 round, they are not even contributing 1%

@fluid bear yo bro, its harry, old acc got banned lol

[grizzled whale]

banned from this server?

[arctic grove]

On Stranded and other small maps they are contributing. As planes and helis are in range

nope

banned from dc

[grizzled whale]

why

[arctic grove]

old enemy mass reported an old DM i think, idrk tbh

[shy latch]

if you are alone in AA you mostly see the sky and not the ground so to avoid C4 people you stay inside the HQ sector; I'm not saying is something good but at least it make sense a little bit

[solid imp]

I've never understood why anyone complains about AA camping HQ, like "yeah bro you suck for not coming closer so I can C5 you while your gun is aiming at the sky so you can't see me"

[grizzled whale]

this

[arctic grove]

but these ppl who are so scared of loosing their tank that they dont dare moving an inch foward have absolutely nothing to do with the term camping, they are not camping, they just scared of loosing the tank and kd.
camping we all know is different and thats what im talking about, nothing wrong with camping unless attackers pinned down defenders at HQ

[grizzled whale]

why would i go in the middle of the map where im gonna get liz'd, m5'd and C5'd by flyign squirrels 0.0005 seconds after shooting once

Ofcourse im gonna stay in the back of the map with a TOR where im able to angle the tank in a way i can shoot down choppers

[shy latch]

you can do that but if you have a gunner looking your back

[grizzled whale]

I have the range to do it, why would i get closer

[thorny jewel]

how can my friend download 2042 for free on playstation ?

[arctic grove]

there is a huge difference at beeing at HQ and beeing at the front line, you can be at the back line and still be far ahead of HQ

[arctic grove]

Go to PS Store and download

[robust vapor]

I love the Ghostmaker R10 so much

with them explosive bolts

[grizzled whale]

gunners never have your back, they are always useless and start shooting a minigun at something it cant damage instead of killing the infantry casually walking up to me

[thorny jewel]

it shows that it's not free

[robust vapor]

:DDDD

[grizzled whale]

the exp bolts are fun against snipers, its funny to see them panic after they got hit

[shy latch]

not sure because I don't own a PS from long time, but I think there will be a "download for free" button in the 2042 section of PS Store

[grizzled whale]

cuz it aint free

[thorny jewel]

but there is a free try from today to 23th december right?

[grizzled whale]

again?

[thorny jewel]

yes on playstation only

[robust vapor]

A sniper's instinct is to hide and recover if they get hit and never die

[shy latch]

that depends on people, you can find the good one or the worst one

[pastel loom]

not again
it's the first time for ps

[arctic grove]

It should unlock by 10 AM Pacific time, or in approximately 1 hour

[robust vapor]

But that shit ain't useful when they got hit by an explosive bolt

that detonates soon after

[spiral folio]

They do the trials at different times for different platforms which might be to not just flood the game with [new people]

[thorny jewel]

ok thank you, on the website it says it's free since 8am

[arctic grove]

You're welcome

[arctic grove]

but still, tanks are made for the very reason of pushing foward, thats their entire purpose of a battlefield, tanks go first, soldiers come straight behind pushing foward, taking objectives. thats real life tactics for ya, then you have artillery, those are the ones staying at the back, and AA. but heavy tanks like T90 goes in the front line.
this is an all out war battlefield game which represents real life war, ppl making war tactics in real life arent stupid

[shy latch]

unless people things about stupid tactics 😏 😂

[arctic grove]

And Battlefield is far from real life anyway

[pulsar obsidian]

Yeah one guy alone in real life can't blow up a tank

[arctic grove]

Exactly

16vs16 and so on, not much tactics, but when getting upwards of 64vs64 then tactics does comes more into play.
if 1 team does tactics and the other doesnt, then the team that doesnt looses big time

[spiral folio]

Javeline

Youd be surprised what'll kill a tank

[shy latch]

but in real life you can revive a person after being headshot 👀

[spiral folio]

Irl not in the mickey mouse damage model BF uses... top armor is generally really thin

[arctic grove]

yeah he can pretty easily tho, its just a matter of ammo,
real life soldiers doesnt have 4 rpg rockets with them when on the front line, but those in the middle line alittlebit more stationary does and can easily take out a tank in real life

[spiral folio]

That's why the javelin strikes from the top

Some ATGMs also have shaped charges that detonate from above and strike down

This is also why youll see tanks in ukraine with cages on top of the turret

[pulsar obsidian]

Yeah but then that soldier is a specialised anti armor soldier. He's not going to be sprinting and sliding around the tank with lunge mines

[arctic grove]

i didnt say the game was 100% realistic, that doesnt happen in any game ever no matter what, but it represents real life battlefield.
we are limited players which makes reviving aa paart of the gme in order to simulate thousands of plaayers/soldiers

[pulsar obsidian]

Does 2042 have a lunge mine equivalent

[arctic grove]

It does happen in games like Squad, Arma 3 and other mil sims

[spiral folio]

The antitank weapons in the game are practically half a century old in how they behave in this game

[arctic grove]

bio weaponry has never made into any game as i know of

[spiral folio]

For "gameplay"

Effectively the recoilless is a 1950s bazooka

Otherwise tanks wouldnt be viable

[arctic grove]

arma3 is deffintly not 100% realistic no, far from it. it does the same as every other game, it simulates it, and the way we simulate real world into a game is by allow reviving for example

[pulsar obsidian]

Well the tanks themselves aren't that futuristic either

[solid imp]

Yes- they are shaped like really angry frisbees 🙂

[robust vapor]

Those frisbees are fucking strong

[solid imp]

I finally finished T1 those angry frisbees because when you use them as lunge mines it's amazing

[robust vapor]

Them AT mines

[spiral folio]

The tanks also fall back into the ancient system of "armor isnt real" from bf3/4

[pulsar obsidian]

Didn't get to see any of the frisbees

[arctic grove]

Ok you got a point there, it's not 100% real but closer to reality than arcade shooters at least

[pulsar obsidian]

Only played a couple hours before I got bored

[arctic grove]

2042 is not futuristic as in robots and lasers, its close time futuristic meaning some upgrades to todays stuff

[spiral folio]

Well the models look like theyre futuristic

But behave like its 1960

[pine roost]

Revolver be like

[pulsar obsidian]

It just feels bland and vanilla af

In V and I, I care about the battle

[spiral folio]

Otherwise am abrams will bean a target from 2 miles at full speed regardless of terrain

[arctic grove]

that is true, some are arcade, some are simulations, arm3 is ment to be a simulation while battlefield is ment to be arcade, but battlefield does indeed simulate things very good tho, its just not as good as arma3.
but the problem im having with arma3 is that there are far to few players, on that map scale there should be 1000vs1000

[pulsar obsidian]

This is just lazy

[pine roost]

Mostly because there is real world context

[pulsar obsidian]

Go shoot each other

[pine roost]

There’s proper emotion behind every battle because it’s historical. Hard to do that in a fictional universe

[spiral folio]

Like you'd never take a tank into a CF where enemy infantry are all over the place

Greatest benefit would be maybe the enemy would accidentally use 2 or 3 javelins to take the tank out and waste more ammo

[pine roost]

I dont really see the point in a javelin

[spiral folio]

Or maybe strain their tractors transmission when they steal it

[pine roost]

When the m5 is already so accurate

[spiral folio]

It kills tanks

[grizzled whale]

Yeah no, its a shooter game where people do whatever they want

[spiral folio]

Javeline kills tanks from the top its reallt effective

[grizzled whale]

expecting people to use real life tactics or any tactics at all when you are paired up with random people is just dumb

[solid imp]

lol tanks should be shooting at targets indirectly from miles away if it were realistic

[grizzled whale]

thats what games like arma are for

[pure umbra]

Games free on ps but it says I need to buy ut

[spiral folio]

With all the fancy appearance. Its not "really" modern combat

[arctic grove]

yes, but doesnt change what the equipment is ment for and made for

[pure umbra]

What do I do

[arctic grove]

I guess Battlefield emulates the chaos of war better

[grizzled whale]

its meant and made for whatever people want to in a game

[pure umbra]

Fr I wanna know how to post it for free

[grizzled whale]

wait untill its actually free

in about an hour

[pure umbra]

Oh lmao

Thanks bro

I might get the game I'd I enjoy it

[arctic grove]

exactly, and that is exactly where my original point now comes in.
in such chaos of war there is 100% guaranteed someone that stays behind and defends the objective, which we then goes on to call camping which then whiners set out to be a negative thing just because they werent able to take an objective solo or duo

[spiral folio]

The most like high tech thing in the game is pronably the wingsuit. Otherwise the rest is basically reskinned

[solid imp]

This, but also why I want suppression back in the game. It's a really great mechanic that adds something tangible to feel the chaos of what's going on around you

[pine roost]

Suppression is the worst mechanic to exist in any fps. You cannot change my mind

[grizzled whale]

what does it do

[solid imp]

lol I was about to type something along the lines of "I've opened the can, here we go" or such

[spiral folio]

In bf1 it like lowered your accuracy and blurred vision if bullets hit hear you.

[pine roost]

Visual, sure that’s fine. That adds to the experience. But it actually affecting your accuracy, that’s a big Nono

[arctic grove]

Suppression does give a small sense of immersion to be felt

[grizzled whale]

yeah thats dumb af

[solid imp]

Yeah there are flavors of suppression whether it's a visual effect vs having actual impact on your aim or bullet spread

[hexed mango]

i dislike suppression

[sharp marten]

Kinda wish they’d add suppression back

[spiral folio]

Ie "bullets hitting near me staying down and ducking shots"

[pine roost]

If you mean visual, sure that’s fine

[sharp marten]

🫵🏻

[hexed mango]

miss target -> get rewarded

[spiral folio]

There is already a suppression-like mechanic when you're in a tornado area

[arctic grove]

Like the recon class in earlier BF games

[spiral folio]

Your vision narrows and it meases stuff up

[arctic grove]

Or recon specialists too

[sharp marten]

Fair

[spiral folio]

Bullets hitting around you does have a physical and psychological effect

[solid imp]

See now I can't quite wrap around why that's what people distill suppression down to, as if someone is more rewarded for missing than if they kill the person. Of course a solid kill is better but suppression permits actual ya know... "suppressing fire" which is what most bullets fired in combat are for

That was meant as a reply to the "miss target -> get rewarded"

[arctic grove]

Like 10 XP lol

[spiral folio]

Just shoot them first so you wont be supressed

You're being punished for your inability to shoot them first

[arctic grove]

there is a right way and there is a wrong way, infact, there are many right ways and many wrong ways.
but if you gonna do it realisticly which we have discussed this whole time, then you use your tank to its fullest and by doing that you use tanks the way they are ment to be used, it has the biggest effect for winning the war.

ingame poeople do what they want yes, but if people where to actually play tactics and play properly then it would change, and you staying with your tank at HQ is 100% wasting the tank slot, put it to good use, help your team to win, and if you wanna help your team to win you put that tank to good use by actually using it for its purpose, i dont say you have to push with it, but be there in middle line or something and contribute.
you can be carefull and still using your tank at the same time, just learn how to do it, staying way in the back at HQ just shows you have no clue what your doing or how to play the tank

[lilac dust]

[arctic grove]

yep, its origin of the negative impact of the word camping

[spiral folio]

Camping existed before bf games

It was more of like hiding around a corner with a shotgun

Like FFA games everyones running around like an idiot. One guy finds a nook to hide in

[grizzled whale]

if im staying back with a TOR, clearing out any choppers that kill my team, its not wasted at all

[arctic grove]

The word chat room made it feel like it's the mid 2000s again lol

[grizzled whale]

wasting that tank would be riding to the front line, getting one hit on a tank, then getting 6 rockets shot at me and dying

[spiral folio]

I mean its literally a chat

[grizzled whale]

As long as you contribute something to the team, its not wasting a vehicle

[spiral folio]

If ya have to makr PARAGRAPHS maybe find a forum for the rant

[pine roost]

Pushing in without a clear strategy beforehand is death sentence as a tank in any game

[arctic grove]

it can be that too, but when attackers knows he is there with a shotgun and still run all barbaric thru and gets shot 10 times by the same dude around the corner with the shotgun, then that is not the shotgunners beeing a noob, thats the attackers beeing a complete noob, he could throw a grenade or go around or do many things, he know he is there, so ieasy to take out, litterly the easiest target there is, but still ppl couldnt figure such complex thing out so it became a negative thing

[grizzled whale]

if you purely ride to the front and get destroyed in seconds for the sake of realism you are wasting it

[pine roost]

Only bf4 made it easier to deal with due to its turret speeds and overall movement speed

[spiral folio]

But i dont really entertain it when some jackwagon lists a wall of text in a chat

[arctic grove]

Fair

[spiral folio]

I categorically ignore it

[arctic grove]

how many choppers/planes youg et down in 1 round? 1? 2?

[arctic grove]

wrong answeing on my abovce comment, was made for this one

[grizzled whale]

what?

[arctic grove]

how many choppers/planes youg et down in 1 round? 1? 2?

there fixed it, you get it now?

[grizzled whale]

7-10

[pine roost]

It’s easy to take down aircraft with that thing if you have the right terrain

[grizzled whale]

when in a wildcat i can potentially keep the skies clear a whole match

[arctic grove]

yeah no, most choppers and planes stay away from the HQ of other teams places, they are around in battlefield, some rogue choppers sometimes trying to take objective but few

[grizzled whale]

my record is 42 vehicles destroyed in a single match

[spiral folio]

Except the flying transport tank

[grizzled whale]

which is irrelevant when you have a railgun tank?

[arctic grove]

then you have a battle that evolves aroung close to HQ where your entire team is oppressed by other team and your loosing hard

What's the worst map in 2042?

[grizzled whale]

when you can do shit like this from your HQ or a bit further whats the issue

[chilly jacinth]

Hourglass

[spiral folio]

Hourglass with new exposure in 2nd since they ruined it

[arctic grove]

I agree it's just so boring to play on

[spiral folio]

The BT rework is awfull in the last sectors

[elder patrol]

I did they add a bike?

[sharp marten]

Tbh tho suppression=keeping the enemy behind cover=frens flanking:)=lmg main good job:)

[spiral folio]

Without suppression of any kind like somebody has shots hit all around em and they just 1000 yard stare back and perfectly fire unflinching

[arctic grove]

breakaway, cant win with US team, US team never beeing able to take more than 1 zone, and even if the battle somehow manage to break away from the ice cliffs (c objective) then still just 1 other point to US team, 95% of the time its like this, not sure if its the people being dumb or what but it happens like that

[arctic grove]

yeah thats demonstration that it can happen, you can be lucky, offcourse, many awesome clips from BF with lucky funny things happening, but its not standard, its not normal, its not how it usually goes, if you were in the middle line or back line you could do 10 times more damage aand contribution and still be safe, thats the point you dont get

[grizzled whale]

Its normal depending on how you use it

and the way i use it i can easily get 7-10 choppers down in a match

[arctic grove]

the way its normal is that you normally get a very low kill, low points contribution in almost every round, and you are simply not helping your team nearly as much as you could have done had you used it further ahead

[grizzled whale]

wanna know what happens when you use it further away?

[pine roost]

Think about the number of infantry or vehicle kills those aircraft could have gotten if he hadn’t shot them out of the sky. I’d say that’s pretty darn useful to the team

[arctic grove]

you dont get the fact that you can be way longer foward, still be safe and reach many many more vehicles, instead of you claim as 7-10 each round you could have 15-25 each round and still be safe

[grizzled whale]

usually something like thios

[pine roost]

And the railgun tank isn’t designed to push. It’s sole purpose is to snipe, fast moving targets and especially clumps of targets are its weaknesses

[grizzled whale]

that forces me to fall back, taking me out of the game for a bit

[arctic grove]

ohh look more 1 kill video proving nothing other than luck

[grizzled whale]

skill

score and kills are completely irrelevant in 2042

its about your contribution

[arctic grove]

and look, you survived and backed up and able to continue your killing, and no thats not normally how it ends up when going foward, thats 1 bad luck

[grizzled whale]

if i can make sure my team has air superiority by taking out their choppers and jets, thats an incredible contribution to the team

[arctic grove]

sheesh, its like feeding info with a teaspoon

[fluid portal]

i feel like i just walked in on 2 monkeys flinging shit at eachother

[grizzled whale]

i died shortly after by another liz missile

[grizzled whale]

You are just wrong, and you refuse to accept that

[arctic grove]

1 time

doesnt mean its each round

[grizzled whale]

no because i dont record it every time

[pine roost]

If that’s the result of sniping, how do you think they’d fare pushing up every time instead

It simply isn’t viable (yet)

[grizzled whale]

but everyone knows that if you actually push into objectives with a tank, you are 90% sure to die instantly

what does removing a tank from play, locking it out for a minute contribute?

[arctic grove]

as i said, terrified of loosing their tanks. here everyone gets evidence of those at HQ are not noobs cause the camping, they are noobs cause they are terrified of loosing their tank and thinks just because they got hit one time means they get blastered every round if moving foward an inch

[grizzled whale]

not terrified of losing the tank

not interested in wasting a tank for the sake of realism

[arctic grove]

thats what your showing and telling

[grizzled whale]

while i could actually be contributing to my team

[arctic grove]

you just dont get it

[grizzled whale]

No i get what you mean

but what you mean is just simply wrong

[arctic grove]

you think that based upon 1 time you get hit

[grizzled whale]

tell me exactly what i would contribute to my team when im driving a tank onto an objective and getting it destroyed within seconds?

except its not 1 time

everyone knows that unless you have a full coordinated squad vehicles wont survive long

[arctic grove]

show me 100 videos where you get hit like that by staying at the back line, then show me 100 videos of you beeing overly cautious and farm choppers
not 1 kill/death clip, videos. show me the evidence of normal cause guess what, i played battlefield as long as they have existed on this earth

[grizzled whale]

and still you dont seem to understand whats actually useful

[arctic grove]

cause i know what happens normally, been there done that many times

[grizzled whale]

seemingly you dont

[chilly jacinth]

getting your vehicle destroyed in 1sec is very useful for your team

[grizzled whale]

i can consistently take out 7-10 aerial vehicles in a conquest match with a TOR "camping" in the back parts of the map

just because you cant doesnt mean it cant happen

i contribute more to the team than people that take a tank, drive it to an objective and get C5'ed after 20 seconds

[arctic grove]

doing it right you can have that same vehicle entire round and still be at the top of the leaderboard

[chilly jacinth]

havent seen that happen

[grizzled whale]

doing it right requires a full high skill squad

which barely happens

[chilly jacinth]

ive only seen chopper being able to do that

ground vehicles get shit on every time

[grizzled whale]

Even if you are fully coordinated, one random sundance with C5 can and will end you

one dude running past unseen with an anti tank mine will get you

one dude with a jet doing 2 strafe runs with AT missiles will get you

[arctic grove]

because as he stated earlier, people dont give a rats ass in how to play it, they just play as not giving an F, but when you get someone who actually does know how to use it tactfully you can contribute damn much, and you dont need entire squad, having 1 other person on 50cal is enough

[robust vapor]

Me placing that AT mine on a MAV

[chilly jacinth]

no

simply not happening

ever

not in this game

[grizzled whale]

in other BF games you might be right

but not 2042

2042 is hell for vehicles

whats your origin

[arctic grove]

Wait wait someone pass me the cliff notes. This is like rap battle but BF2042. Who’s winning the 50 cal or the Sundance ?

simply done it hundreds of times, bf3 and bf4 i allways played tanks and normally in matches i used 2-3 tanks the entire round and i was constantly top 5 on leaderboard.
in bf2042 i havent played much tank, doing assault now but tanks will come, its my favorite

[grizzled whale]

and there we have it

[chilly jacinth]

so youre basing it on different games all together

thats silly of you

[grizzled whale]

if you havent played much tanks in 2042 you shouldnt talk on how to use them

because its a completely different game

in which its extremely easy to take down tanks

[arctic grove]

yeah no, still battlefield, still the same thing

[chilly jacinth]

no

[pine roost]

Trust us when we say that they are incredibly different in this to 4

[grizzled whale]

okay this dude is irrelevant now

[chilly jacinth]

time to ignore

[grizzled whale]

has no clue what hes talking about

Go play as a tank now, push into objectives and show us the result

[arctic grove]

yeah it is, i have done tanking in bf2042, i just havent played them much yet, i do know how the feel, how the drive, how they shoot, how they have their view, what you see, their range, their bulletdrop, all that, done enough tanking to know this and it doesnt take long to learn that, i just havent focused on tanking yet, focusing on my soldier first

[grizzled whale]

then you also know that once people know you are there, there will be several people coming at you with M5's, liz players launching at you with no way to counter, people parachuting in with C5

how are you gonna stop a sundance that glides in behind you and c5's you

you dont have 360 awareness all the time

[arctic grove]

ohh yeah deffintly, thats why its so usefull to have a guy on 50cal

All I see is a couple of guys who love Battlefield. Pass the beer down to these two and let’s play.

but you dont need all slots in tank to be occupied

[grizzled whale]

that guy is shooting at someone in front of you while the c5 sundance comes in the back

you are dead

that guy shoots one dude with an m5's 5 more shoot at you

ur dead

[arctic grove]

im on my way into battle, just finishing up here and updating a couple of things first

[grizzled whale]

get a tank, push and show us the results

[arctic grove]

Look at these hardcore nopats talking of their glory days it’s beautiful.

Go get ‘em yeee

[pine roost]

Or the turn rates to actually engage them

Right, time to see whether I still have my job or not. Enjoy your debate

[grizzled whale]

lets make it even better

[arctic grove]

clue is that when you have guy on 50cal and yourself, they dont get that close to get an m5 at you, you take them out long before that. 2 ppl in 1 tank can easily handle 10soldier at the same time, cause guess what, as you said, no on is playing tactics so most of them are bundled up

[low timber]

Got the Ghostmaker R10 to T1

[grizzled whale]

one dude with emp nades, one c5 sundance

you are dead

[arctic grove]

Mad man

[grizzled whale]

cant do anything about it

[grizzled whale]

took you long enough

meanwhile this is me wasting a wildcat by sitting in the back of the map

[arctic grove]

one huge flaw in the entire point of the entire discussion with this video and several others of the videos you have showed. your NOT at HQ, your far into the map from HQ
this entire discussion started over camping with tanks AT HQ

[pure umbra]

When the game free for ps?

[grizzled whale]

thats Hq for that game mode

L

you can see the vehicles spawning in

[pure umbra]

Is 2042 worth it?

[grizzled whale]

And ive constantly been saying that i sit in the back of the map, not HQ in particular

[grizzled whale]

i say yes

[arctic grove]

hells yes, modern all out war style, yes

[maiden bear]

I agree

[pure umbra]

Yea I'll try it when it's free and I'll buy it on sale

[still vault]

I wish someone made a bot that just said yes every time someone asks if its good

[grizzled whale]

thats your job now

angel commands you

[still vault]

https://tenor.com/view/no-way-dude-no-oh-bugs-bunny-bugs-gif-22941840

[pure umbra]

@still vault is the game good?

[grizzled whale]

How dare you!

[arctic grove]

and here again, huge flaw in the entire point of the entire discussion.
using other game modes where you arte limited to a small portion of the map is again NOT what we were talking about at all.
conquest my friend

[grizzled whale]

My point is still as valid as its always been

[lilac dust]

2042 is officially free to download now on PS4 and PS5. Enjoy the free kills for 1 week 🥳

[grizzled whale]

a vehicle that pushes onto an objective and dies contributes less than me camping in HQ with a wildcat or TOR while taking out air vehicles

[arctic grove]

when you have 1 square kilometer then yes you can stay at HQ
when you have 20 square kilomoters however, you will barely see anything at HQ
NOT the same at all no, not valid in any way

[grizzled whale]

its still more valid than your point

[mossy badge]

No

[lilac dust]

https://twitter.com/Battlefield/status/1603782608294395904

[arctic grove]

nope, cause in my point its the opposite too
1 sqaure kilometer you cant do any tactics like that, you cant stay infront of HQ but at the back line cause there is no room
20square kilometer however its where this really comes into play and is the best way to do it
huge difference.
i have been talking about full map conquests this entire time and even before you started into this discussion we all talkeed about full map conquest tanking at HQ which then you then set out to start with your smal portioned map trying to make a point which becomes so invalid
its apples and oranges

[lucid goblet]

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-battlefield-briefing-december-recap

[grizzled whale]

The size of the map is irrelevant

[arctic grove]

very much relevant

[grizzled whale]

you push onto an objective you are gonna die 90% of the time

[arctic grove]

now your just beeing difficult

[grizzled whale]

even on the biggest maps you can hit shots with a TOR

because not all vehicles are gonna be 20km away from you

this is a pretty much across map shot on a condor

[arctic grove]

yes you can hit, but you hit 1 or two when staying at HQ, staying at the back line you hit plenty and still safe

[grizzled whale]

not in Hq, but it shows range is irrelevant

[lucid goblet]

https://youtu.be/3QSyb9I9oQU

[arctic grove]

the clip you showed where you got killed is where the frontline move onto you, you gotta adapt, back line doesnt stay at one specific point

you have absolutely zero sense of what backline, middleline and frontline actually is

[grizzled whale]

and when at the backline you will get liz missiled and c5'd

[arctic grove]

no cause there arent any soldiers at back line

[grizzled whale]

you realise a sundance with a C5 can get to the backline in like 5 seconds right?

a parachute with c5 can get there in 10

[arctic grove]

in midlines you will get missiles, in front line you will get mines, in back line howeever, your safe until the field moves and you then have to move with it, thats the entire clue, pay attention to where the lines are and adapt constantly all the while you shooting down everything.
its 1 step up in your level of gameplay

[grizzled whale]

" in back line howeever, your safe until the field moves and you then have to move with it" which is entirely false in 2042

[arctic grove]

i play sundance and yeah i know, it happens yes, but not normal cause as you said yourself, no one plays tactics

[grizzled whale]

no one plays tactics as a team

[chilly jacinth]

you'll get hit from the midlines or even front lines

[arctic grove]

true in aany battlefield game ever

[chilly jacinth]

even if you sit in the backline

[grizzled whale]

if a sundance thinks "hey theres a tank there in the backlines, lets go blow it up" it can do so within 30 seconds

unlike other BF games where that wasnt possible

[grizzled whale]

you really are clueless

[arctic grove]

thats where the adapt part comes in, if you pay attention and adapt you can get hit yes, it happens, happens to everyone, but since you adapot then you get rid of the intrusion quickly and easily survives and continues on

[arctic grove]

yeah you really are

[lapis jacinth]

Guys, what's the best method for unlocking tier 1 in falck?

[arctic grove]

Do tanks have any weak spots in 2042 like BF4/3?

[grizzled whale]

If theres 4 people with liz missiles focusing on destroying vehicles, you arent safe anywhere

and thats pretty much every match

[chilly jacinth]

maybe in other battlefield games

[grizzled whale]

you can adapt all you want

[arctic grove]

mines 😛

[grizzled whale]

but you cant escape that much damage

[arctic grove]

it takes 5 rockets to destroy a heavy tank, sure you can. your that slow to aim and notice you getting hit?

[grizzled whale]

yes, hitting the turrets will do slightly more damage and can disable it, and the back of vehicles also take more damage

[arctic grove]

Fair enough, "best self defense is a gun" moment lol

[grizzled whale]

its a guided missile

you cant outrun it

you cant outmanouvre it

theres barely any cover big enough to hide behind

[arctic grove]

and you got smoke

[grizzled whale]

which helps you how?

[arctic grove]

you can outmanouver it easily

[grizzled whale]

you get one smoke, and by the time thats over you will have 4 more missiles coming towards you

like i said you really are clueless on how difficult it is to survive in land vehicles in this game

[arctic grove]

stay in the right places, get behind the right thing and the missile doesnt hit you, be tactical and you can avoid mostly everything, not all maps its easy but its doable, breakaway is very easy like that

[grizzled whale]

what is your origin

[arctic grove]

i play on steam

[grizzled whale]

Even though its clear that you dont know what you are on about regarding vehicle combat in this game, id like to see your vehicle stats

[chilly jacinth]

you still log in through origin

even on steam

[grizzled whale]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

[arctic grove]

Just check in #stats

[grizzled whale]

the steam linked on his profile doesnt show up

cuz his origin is different

[arctic grove]

my stats sucks atm, 0.7 or so kd, but thats because im mostly at the front line running barbaric taking objectives as an assault, its my default playstyle as a soldier, give me 100 more hours in the game and my kd will be about 1.5

[chilly jacinth]

oof

allways do this with battlefield since i gotta learn maps and guns and unlock shit first.

Seems like Sony is the only one not discounting during the free period

[lucid goblet]

Ah got a double feature in the Dev Video

[lilac dust]

Yep. Knew it. "Not a remake of a BF4 map, but a setting that could have been a warzone". Not sure why so many folks read the blog post from a while back any differently than what has now been crystal clear confirmed in this video.

My excitement remains high for what this season 5 map could be since it's not rehashing any particular BF4 maps.

I'm not so sure, that map layout seems way too suspiciously similar to firestorm

the outer segments don't match metro at all and neither do the inside segments

[arctic grove]

I think the color made me draw the connection to Gulf of Oman

Although there definitely isn’t much else to draw a connection to oman with

[arctic grove]

I think it's due to the construction area

[remote kiln]

the desert theme means it's possibly GOA but it doesn't suit the urban type warfare of the map

honestly I'd guessed karkand if they didn't explicitly say bf4

[topaz field]

[arctic grove]

They said "not revisited since BF4" might be Karkand

since?

they had to put a damn boat just to entice people to capture the objective

[royal swan]

Going to miss the event as I'm going somewhere for the holidays

But it's just skins

[tardy tree]

there are microcontainers in our rain water

[prime ember]

I had it on hdd , not anymore on ssd

[ebon pilot]

find internet cafe

[ebon pilot]

mine is on an ssd

[tardy tree]

bring your beast of a setup to a cafe

yes

[prime ember]

I don't know then

[royal swan]

Like I can carry my desktop with me

[ebon pilot]

when i went to the uk i rented a gaming pc and played last season's event

[tardy tree]

ddedication

jesus

[ebon pilot]

i got all the unlocks in one day

only cost me £10

[spiral folio]

Build your pc into one of those airline snack carts

[royal swan]

Its a family holiday vacation so it's impossible for me to even rent a PC or use it at all

[prime ember]

I don't get it how this game managed to get everything about input wrong , in the same universe where 99.99% of games out there got it right

I can't process that

Triple A studio though

[royal swan]

Input is fine for me

I don't even notice it

Idk what's wrong with your game

[prime ember]

It's the only game where o had issues like those

[royal swan]

But it ain't a problem for me

[prime ember]

Then , I am happy for you man

You won life

[quaint vector]

Finally I Unlocked Tier 1 for Zain... It was long run with him..

[prime ember]

👍

[lucid holly]

Does double XP stackup? during double XP weekend right now.

My next level on the battlepass is double xp...

[spiral folio]

Black camo for all those maps that take place on coal fields

The stark white camo is worse i guess

[magic bloom]

I’m so close to rao tier 1

[wide shore]

From what I heard. Yes

[lucid holly]

Good, because would hate to waste the double xp I get from the battle pass during double XP weekend

[wide shore]

When I got my last double XP I spent all of it unlocking the new vault weapons in solo/co-op

Lel

[magic bloom]

I Just finished my double xp last night 🥲

[lucid holly]

I need to get to lvl 100 on the battlepass before January

Currently on 73

[magic bloom]

You should get there

[wide shore]

I’m at 57

But I haven’t played yet today

[magic bloom]

I’m on 79 about to be 80

[chilly jacinth]

dang youre old

[magic bloom]

Ikr

[chilly jacinth]

[lucid holly]

Nice, game crashed out of nowhere 😐

[arctic grove]

Battlefield Moment

[pastel loom]

i played a match
and gameplay seems janky
but it looks fine on ps4

[sharp marten]

@mossy badge

[thick tusk]

Is it typical that the weapon skins for BF coins in the store remain available or do any get removed?

[lilac dust]

IIRC it's just the event skins that get removed and all others stay I believe

[thick tusk]

Thanks, probably a dumb question but how do I tell which skins are event?

[lilac dust]

Uhhh I have no idea tbh lol

[thick tusk]

Lol same thanks though!

[solid imp]

Airburst be like and I love it

[low timber]

Odd how Zain and Crawford both just need kills and assists for their Mastery but Zain needs 1 600 while Crawford needs 2 000.

[solar tinsel]

In general I find a lot of the mastery progression doesn't make much sense

[kindred flint]

And the mini gun is way worse to use

[solid imp]

Crawford's vulcan can reach out and tap someone a long way away possibly, so getting those assists is a tad easier on that one

[low timber]

And you are free sniper food

[solar tinsel]

Like how Vehicles require a good amount even despite many of the vehicles not being accessible depending on what team you're on, and jets not counting kills or assists....

[kindred flint]

Classic dice not knowing what other specialist t1s are

The amount of shooting you do to get damage at range is a lot though and yeah..total shoot me, bait

[low timber]

Crawford being able to revive but not counting his mastery was dumb as well.

[solid imp]

Right but it counts assists so you only need to hit them once and you'll be on your way to T1 pretty quick

[solar tinsel]

Well I guess that won't matter in a month anyway

[kindred flint]

Because they knew he was going engineer anyways?

[solid imp]

But also good in the long run because he's not going to be able to do that soon

[low timber]

Then hopefully the critical repair trait he will get counts

Like Paik’s mastery was updated with her trait counting towards it when we got the current one.

[dapper river]

bro got the recolor T1 💀

[solid imp]

Paul

[low timber]

Autocorrect

[solid imp]

lol I see the fix

[low timber]

I had to edit it twice, as first time it still went to as Paul

[solid imp]

It would be great to have a totally normal name show up for the last specialist... hey who's the new guy? Oh that's just Paul.

[brisk imp]

When Evant started

[low timber]

But Discord is smart enough to no add the

(edited)
if the message is the same

[royal swan]

Well the season 5 map won't be a bf4 remake but a map that is similar to the bf4 feel. 💀

[solid imp]

yeah a "bf4 area" but that wasn't a "bf4 map" has me a bit wondering

[low timber]

Shouldn’t even mentioned BF4 if it’s not a remake

Could’ve just said 2020 era map

[royal swan]

So no metro

[brisk imp]

Free to play on ps5

[solar tinsel]

Yeah, although I will say that still leaves a bit of ambiguity. For example: what if it was a BF4 map remake, but the map is altered so substantially, that it is a different map in many aspects

[low timber]

Metro is BF3 map

[solar tinsel]

I am curious as to how far the connection will go

[solid imp]

the municipal administration building next to the metro line

[dapper river]

shanghai

[solar tinsel]

For example, is it a dramatically altered version of a BF4 map, or is it a totally new map just with a similar setting.

will be interesting to see

[low timber]

Gonna say it’s like Zavod, a completely new map in BF4, but could’ve been in a Cold War era BF game.

[spiral folio]

They didnt say it was a specific map

They also did not the area was overgrown in bf4

[solid imp]

It will all be in the hills behind the airstrip on Firestorm and you'll be able to kinda see the oil rig in the background

[low timber]

You know
If we ever do get a Cold War era map (more than just Vietnam) I want to see a Zavod 311 in it but as a sparkling new

[spiral folio]

They're two separate statements
-an area not revisited since bf4
-the area will be overgrown

[brisk imp]

When free to play games

[solid imp]

Zavod 411?

[solar tinsel]

I'd love to see more little easter eggs like that which connect locations

[low timber]

What? 411?

[spiral folio]

So like hypothetically it could be a jungle-ified abandoned city is my favorite guess

Ie last of us

[solar tinsel]

A bit of a deep cut, but Lumphini Garden could make a cool setting for overgrowth

[spiral folio]

There's an anime "shangri la" thats a cool like climate dystopia show

[solid imp]

Ahh I was trying to remember the name of that exact map!

(Lumphini)

[solar tinsel]

ha yeah it had that grassy park area contained within the urban space....

[solid imp]

exactly

[solar tinsel]

so you could say the overgrowth took that over

[upbeat gust]

surely bf2042 talk

[spiral folio]

As far as inspiration for an overgrown city map goes

The show also has an absolutely massive arcology but that could be too scifi

There was a flooded city in another BF

They could do one like that where like the 3 gorges dam breaks

[solid imp]

You could take any of the sim city 2k arcologies and spruce them up with some

[spiral folio]

https://www.ganriki.org/media/2014/shangri-la-02.jpg well bigger

[upbeat gust]

basically every bf2042 map

take anything

put containers

map created

[solid imp]

yeah but EA already owns Maxis so surely they could acquire the rights to those arcologies more easily lol

[spiral folio]

Or i found a better one
https://i2.wp.com/ikilote.net/Galeries/News/Anime/42/Shangri-La_F2.jpg

[upbeat gust]

chat died after my opinion

[spiral folio]

The US army loves containers/connexes

Thats not gonna diminish since theyre so easy to move

They fit on everything

[broken horizon]

blackscreen

[spiral folio]

And secure too

[spiral folio]

Like moving trucks the mechanics trucks get gotten into all the time

"Wow you have a TON of SK tools.."
"Si...."
"Whered you get em? Ebay"
"Si...."
"Whatd you pay for them all"
"Sigh"

[low timber]

Is shipment a CoD map or a bf map?

[spiral folio]

There's even a containers map on medal of honor rising sun

2042 took it to a new level but there is some logic

Army fobs have tons of em

[low timber]

Danny just did multiple tweets about containers in BF3, an apparently only maps in BF3 without a single container are the close quarters dlc maps.

Odd though that scrap metal don’t have any as it is a factory of some kind

It was a interesting map tbh, even had a crashed chinook on the roof I think

[still vault]

💯

[sharp marten]

Where the fuck did you get that

Actually I think I might have it

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/khaby-lame-gif-24851724

[tough flax]

how you get this?

[still vault]

If you talk about the Christmas stuff then last Christmas

[spiral folio]

Errg snowflakes with the wrong number of points

Disgusting

[still vault]

The future has different snowflakes

[spiral folio]

You'd need to change how atomic physics works

[still vault]

easy

[spiral folio]

Cause h2o molecules have the hydrogens at a 60 degree angle ala why 6 sides

It's that easy

Its also why water is denser than ice

[still vault]

Who says the 2042 flake is made from h2o 😉

[arctic grove]

wait haha

[spiral folio]

Otherwise for 8 points itd need to be at like a 45 degree angle and ice could sink

[arctic grove]

Oo FNB

[median tusk]

They are made from a transparent mesh imaged by a card equipped with microprocessors that handle electric signals and data in a specific way

or a volumetric mesh, but thats more expensive

[eager spire]

based

i can see why they never ported those maps

it'd be too hard there's no reused assets

[pseudo pecan]

i was looking at some gun stats and it shows some smg having lower ttk than some assualt rifles, why are people saying smgs are bad?

[eager spire]

AR's have a way higher headshot multiplier than SMG's.

[brisk imp]

Anyone do u play battlefield 2042

[sharp marten]

What do you want for chrimmis carb

[pseudo pecan]

ah ok so the hope is headshot always

[elfin void]

Range and hs multiplier

[eager spire]

Also consider that SMG's have worse range

and currently literally pistols have a higher headshot multiplier than the SMG's

you can one burst someone with the glock

[elfin void]

Can we buff Zain perserverance a bit

[eager spire]

Still results in one less bullet to kill
Don't think that's actually true

[robust vapor]

MP412 go pew

[dull drum]

What do folks think of the new map?

[eager spire]

probably

[median tusk]

Fun, but holy is it sniper land

[inner roost]

Rorsch land more like

I see less and less regular snipers now

[elfin void]

Is the new map with the IKEA cubes?

That map is amazing on Conquest

[still vault]

a widescreen color accurate gamin ips monitor would be nice

[median tusk]

i've been seing more in my case

[inner roost]

Majority of my sniper related deaths are from the rorsch

[median tusk]

For me it is the default sniper

[silk surge]

Loving the FNB mode

[brisk imp]

Nice

[arctic grove]

Bro its a pretty fun mode tho i wish it was 64v64

[fleet cairn]

ahi evento?

alguien habla español?

[median tusk]

yes there will be an event

[solid imp]

that's dirty lol.. nice work

[vivid onyx]

cant wait to see what happen when battlefield gets taken off due to cheaters infecting the game causing alot of spams most players were an honest gamer and wouldnt think of cheating but PC gamer perfer to cheat it there way to do it by infecting had to clean out my xbox of smapware causing me lags

[inner roost]

what

[solid imp]

👀

I'm not honestly sure what you mean by all that

I haven't seen much cheating truth be told.. those ultra-high KDs you can usually trace back to someone being successful in a vehicle

[sharp marten]

Bro I’m so happy it’s 2Xp I’m like 80 on the bp

[inner roost]

I saw a few cheaters on the free weekend

That's about it

This game uses EAC which is pretty good

[dapper river]

can we all have a moment of silence for punctuation?

[elfin void]

Great way to start a game

Also anyone know why my audio is like this? Using shadowplay

[brisk imp]

What's ur pc specs

[elfin void]

3070 and 5600x

[pseudo pecan]

is there a way to kill yourself or go back to homebase to regear and/or change specialist? or once spawn i have to go out n find someone to kill me

[elfin void]

grenade, launcher

jump of a building

[pseudo pecan]

gotcha so no way other than dying, ty

[elfin void]

yeah they took that out

idr which bf had that last

oh is there

[pseudo pecan]

omg ur right! i see it

[arctic grove]

[restive fable]

nerf the g57 holy shit

[spiral folio]

Most cheats get detected fairly quickly

[solar tinsel]

Good point, I'd imagine loadouts with an ineligible gadget would perhaps be prohibited from selection, kind of the way it works if you try to equip a launcher with Lis

[spiral folio]

They might have loadouts split into classes

Or yea like if youre on Lis and you have other rocket launcher builds those get Xd out

Or he gets removed from the game entirely

His classless freedom had no place in our new world order

When youre picking classes he will cameo with a clipboard

Reassigned to quartermasters doing paperwork

[ebon pilot]

battle of the ages: a sundance with c4 vs a railgun tank

[spiral folio]

Its not like having a 20lb projectile going past you eould have any ill effects

[arctic grove]

We all know c5 wins

[spiral folio]

The sonic boom would probably concuss you

[ebon pilot]

orbital would probably kill everyone on the map instantly if the rocket realistically blew up

[spiral folio]

At least everyone on any part of the platform

And melt any cables going to it

[brisk imp]

Do you have Xbox series x

[wide shore]

Anyone close to the takeoff spot for sure. As it stands you can kinda chill right below it and live which is hilarious

[arctic grove]

Yes i do.

why you asking?

[left badge]

dear god i just got 49k exp from a bot match

[arctic grove]

awesome

[spiral folio]

There was one story where a humvee was stuck and they had to ditch it because enemy armor was in the area. They fired a DU sabot over the humvee and just the heat of the round going over it ruined the humvee

[wide shore]

You know Santa Clause should be Santa Claus right?

[spiral folio]

Clause is the tim allen movie

[wide shore]

Yes

[arctic grove]

I have been debating about changing it but left for the memes

[wide shore]

All good. Just making sure

[arctic grove]

lol thanks Poe

[spiral folio]

Banned for being wrong

[brisk imp]

Wastup

[vivid onyx]

i dont think so they were able to bypass the security

[eager spire]

Well, who do you think is cheating in the first place

[elfin void]

Conquest on 2042 plays so fucking great as infantry holy

[brisk imp]

Nice

https://twitter.com/T0TALfps/status/1603787283756449793?t=eu-7-d8V42V3abWH1Xeejw&s=19

I thought this was gonna be an infantry map

Looks more like firestorm

[solid imp]

yea something like firestorm outside with lots of interior infantry areas is how I'm seeing it

[arctic grove]

Firestorm 2.0

[solid imp]

their first concept art they posted was this one so I think they wanted to emphasize the infantry focus..

or you talking season 5?

[slender isle]

No no that new art is S4 but it said more infantry and linear, but this doesn’t look like that

Like S5 isn’t even a bf4 map

The new art makes it look like half the map is vehicles and the other half is underground infantry gameplay
