battlefield-2042

[dire quest]

When we all die... will we all face jod?

[eager spire]

actually thinking about those ads, they were really weird considering the setting of the game.

[upbeat sand]

Wasent that what a time to be alove ads made by Microsoft/Xbox and not EA"?

[eager spire]

if i went up the pearly gates and God asked me to pronounce it as "jod", i would take that L and go to hell.

[dire quest]

It's pronounced "gesus"

[eager spire]

probably but they were still weird

[dire quest]

Yup I'm out

[upbeat sand]

Cause that ad was definitely much more high budget than in game cinematics like what we got from all offical dice/ea marketing

In engine*

[dire quest]

The tornados have definitely gotten upgraded

[upbeat sand]

People complain about 2042 ads being unrealistic, mun look at apex

Everyone has 1hp

[arctic grove]

There’s some great screen shot of weather in content creator channel

[dire quest]

https://youtu.be/C7wF9t7wpQA

[eager spire]

That sure does look like a tornado

good job I guess

[upbeat sand]

Like it can rip trees out and throw other stuff into the sky now

[dire quest]

Y'all think the class rework will bring in even more players?

[upbeat sand]

Hopefully

But honestly

[edgy oriole]

itll bring more people at first to see the new changes

[upbeat sand]

Id say not that much

[edgy oriole]

but people will bitch that classes arent weapon locked

[eager spire]

Probably not.

[upbeat sand]

Me personally I just want support off snipers

It's annoying as you bleed out while a falk or angel is sitting right in front of you too tunnel visioned to revive

[magic bloom]

Especially when they’re not actively getting shot at or shooting at someone

[upbeat sand]

Then overall they never play support to support

It's just selfish

[dire quest]

Is it true they bringing back 128 breakthrough temporary?

[magic bloom]

Yes

They are

[upbeat sand]

Week 3 of the event

[dire quest]

Yee

[upbeat sand]

It's offical

Dice made a page on it and a news post

And the trailer

[dire quest]

Hopefully these modes get added to portal same way tactical conquest was

[upbeat sand]

I'm just ready for week 2 for my taste of frontlines like stuff to return

[dire quest]

128 breakthrough in portal?

[upbeat sand]

Couldn't you always make a BT server and change the player count to whatever you want

Or is portal Cq and rush only

[dire quest]

Breakthrough isn't in portal

[upbeat sand]

+other

[upbeat sand]

Darn

You know what this means

FINE ILL DO IT MYSELF

UN BREAKS YOUR THROUGH

K (make a very crappy BT in the editor)

[dire quest]

128 breakthrough lobbies instead of 128 rush lobbies

[upbeat sand]

Remember that time when someone made a BR in the editor

[dire quest]

Yee

[upbeat sand]

Very interesting

[dire quest]

When does the event start?

[upbeat sand]

2 days

[dire quest]

20th?

[upbeat sand]

Or 1 day

20th

Confusing for me cause im in aus so rn it's 19th

[dire quest]

1st week is 20-27?

[upbeat sand]

So tommorow is 20th

[upbeat sand]

Well a week so I'd guess

[dire quest]

Wait 20-26

[upbeat sand]

Check the website

[dire quest]

3-9th is week 3 then

[glossy storm]

Wait, they finally re-enabled reacting to messages?

Holy shit.

[quaint vector]

No

[glacial quarry]

when does this op ridiculous hitscan railgun cringe get nerfed?

[dire quest]

Railgun weak

[still vault]

It's currently not that good

[dire quest]

Pls buff

[glacial quarry]

not that good lol

[quaint vector]

Only thing that Railgun should not have is 6x - 3x scope

[upbeat sand]

It's not hitscan completely so it's still sort of possible to out move

Just speed quick

[still vault]

It's so visible when you shoot that once you do you just get shot from 2000 directions

glass cannon

[magic bloom]

I think it’s about as close as you can get to hit scan

[still vault]

There is a travel time, it's just very quick

[magic bloom]

I like the railgun it’s fun

[upbeat sand]

Cause hitscan is instant the moment you shoot so the rorche is still not hitscan

[magic bloom]

Yes I’m aware I’m saying it’s probably as close as your gonna get from a hand held weapon in 2042

Since I think the railgun tank is even faster in my experience

[dire quest]

As opposed to a foot held weapon?

[magic bloom]

Yes.

Pull the trigger with your small toe

[still vault]

Still kinda wish they repeated the success of the last railrun, make it a overpowered battlepickup and place it in the middle of the map in a poorly defendable tower 😄

[dire quest]

Foot guns when dice?

[upbeat sand]

The Rorche mk1 is very DOOT

[magic bloom]

It wasn’t really op though

Considering the reload took 15 years

[upbeat sand]

DOOT DOOT DOOT BEEP

PFFFF

[magic bloom]

And it took like 8 seconds to charge

Hover tank when dice?

[dire quest]

You know what I thought was a good idea in the original battlefront games that I wish carried over to battlefield? Vehicle spawn points

Wait

Nvm

[magic bloom]

I did and didn’t like that

[dire quest]

It already exists I just didn't realize

[upbeat sand]

When is final stand's year set in?

[dire quest]

The mav

[magic bloom]

2020 I think

[grave prism]

all they need to do is to make you spawn outside the mav when it's full and you click on it, you could do it in V 😭

[dire quest]

Nobody uses the mav really except to park it near the enemy

[magic bloom]

I use it

I whip that bitch around corners like it’s a drift car

[upbeat sand]

Wack

And here we are

Still using M1 Abrams irl

[magic bloom]

The entirety of the final stand dlc was literally just a BF 2142 reference

[dire quest]

At what year do we add another c to c4 to make it c5?

[magic bloom]

I’d say about 2035

[dire quest]

Seems reasonable

[magic bloom]

Puts a brick of c14 on a tank and nukes the fucker

[upbeat sand]

Wait if final stand is set in russia because the Russian goverment are building super weapons and the US are going in to stop them

Maybe in lore the weapons where the hover tanks and rail guns so after the RU lost the US burned or hide all the weapons

[lilac dust]

Holy shit I feel bad. I killed the same person 5 times in a row within 2 minutes 🤣

and they weren't even a PS newbie

[upbeat sand]

So the tech is lost

[magic bloom]

I’d say probably considering they’re were only about 3 hover tanks and only one Rorsch MK1

But that doesn’t explain the other 2 missing deigns before the Rorsch mk4

[upbeat sand]

Maybe the US took the mk1 for themself and gave it to nordvik to be improved on and mass produced

[magic bloom]

Or maybe you could count the experimental railgun the U.S. military had now

I think one of them got all the way up to Mach 8 and almost detonated itself lol

[upbeat sand]

And if that don work

Use more gun

[magic bloom]

Use more gun

Bf4 engineers repairing a downed bridge with a blow torch

[upbeat sand]

Hey look buddy

I'm an engineer

[next onyx]

Bf4 multiplayer never really happened. The facilities were a thing but the U.S doesn't know about them.

As far as we know.

[magic bloom]

listen that meet the team video is gospel to us engineer mains

[magic bloom]

But final stand was the conclusion of the 2020 war

[upbeat sand]

That means I solve problems, not problems like what is beauty, because that would fall into the purview condrundums of philosophy. I solve practical problems

[next onyx]

Maybe it really did happen.

Really here's what I think happened.

[upbeat sand]

(Shoot shoot,heavy dying off camera)

[magic bloom]

The multiplayer is just a dream recker had when he was in the Russian gulag

[next onyx]

Bah it's too complicated to spell out.

[upbeat sand]

For instance, how am I gonna stop some mean mother Hubbard from tearing me a structural;oh superfluous new behind

The answer, use gun

And is that don work

Use more gun

Aright I'm not doing the rest

[next onyx]

In bf3 the U.S and RU got into war because of the nukes.

I remember reading it somewhere.

[magic bloom]

Yeah they did

[upbeat sand]

I never played bf3 campaign

I heard it was nice

[magic bloom]

Dima linked up with Blackburn and they put a stop to one of them but another was taken and that’s why one of them detonated in Paris

If I remember right

[next onyx]

It was serviceable.

[upbeat sand]

Definitely better than bf4 I heard

[next onyx]

Yeah Dima told blackburn about that and right as he was going to be executed for killing his commanding officer he escaped and stopped the nuke.

[magic bloom]

Yep

Blackburn should’ve teamed up with recker

Would’ve been unstoppable

[next onyx]

Blackburn was most likely discharged.

[magic bloom]

Probably

[upbeat sand]

Didn't someone say that Jhonothan miller is a descendant of Peter Muller from the last tiger?

[next onyx]

It's a common last name.

Most likely not.

[upbeat sand]

Like that Jedi guy who commented in every jackfrags episode about a bf1 door ranking

[magic bloom]

He also still probably got sent to Leavenworth

Since ya know he killed his CO

Miller also really got put in a live leak video

[upbeat sand]

What happened to the surviving cast of bf3 anyway

[magic bloom]

Well Blackburn probably got sentenced to a military prison for killing his CO

Dima died after escaping the gulag during the events of BF4

[low timber]

There were 3 nukes in BF3, one they found still in the case that can hold 3, one detonated in Paris and last one defused in… New York?

[magic bloom]

I think

[arctic grove]

Yes

[low timber]

Dima would’ve died anyways, too much radiation from Paris nuke

[magic bloom]

It also depends how long he was exposed for

[fluid portal]

aight bois we back at it again abusing the AM40

[magic bloom]

The men at Chornobyl got exposed to a metric ton and lived to be 80-90

[arctic grove]

Dima did live for 6 more years after BF3

[magic bloom]

Yeah

[upbeat sand]

Guess all we got are the bf4

And just Irish

[magic bloom]

Well pac died in the 2042 trailer Irish is still alive and we don’t know where recker is

Hanna was the right choice in BF4 so she died

[low timber]

Also Hannah is just MIA, not KIA

[upbeat sand]

The commander guy dies on boat

Hanna gets a well deserved KABOOM BOOM
pac gets condor ed

Recker clipped through a building and suffocated

[fluid portal]

Weezer are canon in Battlefield lore

[magic bloom]

I could imagine if she’s not dead she’s most definitely in no fighting shape

Unless she pulls a Zain and gets like all robotic limbs

[low timber]

You don’t need to be far under water to survive an explosion above water, plus it was just a shaped charge that was activated by C4 when it failed.

[upbeat sand]

If hanna is alive no fighting at all

If surviving a explosive while hanna is holding/right next to it and then surviving the boat sinking, then surviving Chinese soldiers as well

[clever marlin]

Alright so

[next onyx]

Would be cool for her to return as a recon.

[clever marlin]

I mean

[magic bloom]

Being under water during an explosion is actually way worse

[low timber]

Well we know nothing about S4 specialist

[upbeat sand]

Hanna's trait, WHY ARE YOU RUNNING: hanna has increased crouch sprint speed and walks like in the hotel mission

[magic bloom]

When I first saw Paik I honest to god kinda thought it was Hanna before I heard what she sounded like

[upbeat sand]

Other than a shadow of em

[clever marlin]

Nah, Hannah’s trait would be: spotter, can detect multiple enemies while using soflam and high magnification scopes.

[magic bloom]

Has a specialty with shaped charges and C4

[upbeat sand]

Wasent hanna secretly FBI or something

[clever marlin]

Yes

[magic bloom]

I think

[next onyx]

When she's on the ground and asking for supplies she says Reckers name.

[upbeat sand]

Rocker's trait would be clipping

[magic bloom]

we never heard recker speak besides hearing him say fuck when his scar was outta ammo

[clever marlin]

Lmao

Yeah

[low timber]

Way is Recker

[magic bloom]

Way is definitely Recker

[arctic grove]

Maybe he can only swear

[upbeat sand]

Recker must of suffocated in water when he went to beach and tried to swim before realising the controls didn't work and was stuck there

[magic bloom]

Russian killing machine

[clever marlin]

Actually

I wonder if Dima will make a return

[magic bloom]

He’s dead

[clever marlin]

We never saw his corpse at the end of the prison mission

[magic bloom]

He had a whole tram fall on him

Ain’t no coming back from that

[upbeat sand]

The only thing we will get in 2042 are either a sudden return of a past character, new or maybe a decentant

[low timber]

Dima would be 64 years old in 2042

[magic bloom]

Millers kid comes back and wants to kill some fuckers

[next onyx]

No no no I am not Recker reeeeeeeeeee.

[upbeat sand]

"You darn kids these days making your own factions, back in my day we used to fight for 1 country"

[low timber]

True, Recker is more skillful

[next onyx]

Oops wrong image.

[magic bloom]

Them God damn Non-Patriated kids….

[low timber]

Lol wut

[upbeat sand]

Taking

[next onyx]

This reminds me of Ghost Recon.

Classic Ghost recon.

[magic bloom]

Honestly

[next onyx]

I had a wii control nearly spear into the fucking TV a long time ago.

[magic bloom]

Reminds me kind of a bit of advanced warfighter

[next onyx]

Then I knew the importance of the wristband.

With the teal visor.

[clever marlin]

Pro tip: don’t throw a Wii remote at a crt

[upbeat sand]

Am I the only one who actually uses the saftey strap

[clever marlin]

The crt will win

[next onyx]

Did it rebound and hit you.

[magic bloom]

Pro tip don’t let Way have the way with a wii remote

[clever marlin]

No, it fuckin shattered

[upbeat sand]

Nokia crt

[idle lion]

Yo whasup

[magic bloom]

Hi

[upbeat sand]

Drop a crt on the floor

Floor shatters

[idle lion]

How

[low timber]

Wii is so old that you cant attach it to modern TV’s without an adapter

[magic bloom]

Thanks for reminding me how fucking old I am

[upbeat sand]

Ey the country that I am politically not allowed to say in Europe fighting is using Mortar rounds on a RPG as a diy type

Imagine getting mortared by a rpg

[magic bloom]

Aren’t they also duck taping grenades to RPG’s

[upbeat sand]

Yes

[magic bloom]

Using maxim guns with Red Dots

[upbeat sand]

It's the classic case of use more gun

The engineer will be proud

Or will it be the soldier and demo man

Cause kaboom

[upbeat sand]

They are even using WW1-2 Vickers

[arctic grove]

Does any1 know how to easily get the 3 multikills mission done

[magic bloom]

Grab a recoilless and just hit tanks

[upbeat sand]

Destroy em transports

[quaint vector]

C5 + Sundance = hunt tanks

Recoilless + Angel = Hit any vehicles

Sundance + Avancys = Flank on Breakthrough

[arctic grove]

Thanks

[pearl ridge]

Out of all the stories to build from, why 4?

[next onyx]

Dice probably just wants to build off the foundation they have already had set.

4 is linked to 3.

Bad co COULD be connected.

Bf1, 5, 1942 and Vietnam could very well be connected too but exist as mere stories.

[arctic grove]

Finding it quite difficult because everyone just hops out of the vehicles when I’m trying to destroy it

[pearl ridge]

It’s just… 4’s cast is a bunch of Literally Who-s.

[magic bloom]

Could say the say about 3

[pearl ridge]

And 3 for that matter…

[magic bloom]

There ya go

[magic bloom]

Get Sundance or mackay grab some C5 then just suicide bomb the tank pretty much

[pearl ridge]

War Stories probably would’ve benefitted 2042.

Have short campaigns around certain combinations of specialists

Actually build on the world outside of blurbs on profile pics.

[magic bloom]

Or maybe some of the banners we have like the one where everyone is in the jungle would be cool

[pearl ridge]

That feel when you launch a TGM at a burning hind that’s hovering low, and it just up and fucks off across the map at freakishly high speeds and outruns the missile

What the hell is up with those things

[eager spire]

skill issue i donno

[kindred flint]

I was having issues with shooting casper drones last night like the game cant process how much they move quickly or something so they were just jumping a couple feet at a time

fucking annoying shit

[arctic grove]

They’ve had shitty hit boxes since launch

At least they nerfed the emp spam

[glacial quarry]

how do you report someone

just found some dude with a 100% hs rate

100 kills in 12 mins all headshots with mp9 lmao

[pearl ridge]

They’re fine when they’re holding still, but I never have an automatic weapon when I find a drone actually being piloted

[kindred flint]

esc if youre on pc (or bring up the menu when in a round on console) squad/players button -> find name click on it ->report

[kindred flint]

lol the more i shoot at them in this fucking horrible rush xl mode the more im thinking it needs a 20% larger hitbox than the actual drone size just because of this shit hit reg

[pseudo pecan]

who or what can quickly find insertion beacons?

[kindred flint]

my ears and eyes

[magic bloom]

Hell on earth

[ebon pilot]

an anti-armor grenade will lock onto beacons

Casper's drone will spot them too

[remote meteor]

My friend wants to play bf 2042 with a 2 part joystick, is that possible for pc, just for heli and tank gameplay.

[magic bloom]

I would imagine you could do it

I Imagine his gameplay will be like shit with helicopters cause of how awkward they move

[calm bison]

Nothing is more satisfying than getting all ribbons to level three

[pearl ridge]

It’s funny how blowing up some drone or sentry immediately bumps you to an intel ribbon

[lilac dust]

https://clips.twitch.tv/KitschyMuddyDeerPunchTrees-GukTXBm_NAYzOxda Who's gonna tell him

[tacit sorrel]

F2p noobs can’t hold a single flag 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hourglass needs a rework so bad

[lilac dust]

I'm from the future. Season 5's hourglass rework is a banger

[tacit sorrel]

And discarded should just be removed lol

[lilac dust]

Another message from my future self - Discarded is also a banger in the season 4 rework

[tacit sorrel]

I’ll believe it when I see it

[kindred flint]

discarded is nice right now...as long as you stay in the middle of the map

[lilac dust]

Ah yes the "stranded" section of the map

[kindred flint]

stranded...but better

[next onyx]

I wouldn't mind it if they made stranded better for 64p.

Just feels bad to play on that.

[kindred flint]

playing exodus and getting stranded or uhh the new map i cant think of, is hilarious because its just the same fucking thing

[next onyx]

I'd say the same for spear head but its linear design allows combat to always be engaging.

Yeah I know what you mean.

Spearhead is alright on 64p.

[kindred flint]

yeah like spearhead feels waaay too big for 64 a lot of the time

[next onyx]

I'm probably getting used to 128p and the heightened combat opportunies.

[kindred flint]

you can get back capped so easily by 1-2 people, because theres so much ground to cover with half the people

[next onyx]

Stranded feels too big for 64p more so than spearhead which is ironic.

If they cut off D and A for 64p I reckon that'd play a bit better.

[lilac dust]

Ye stranded doesn't encourage action in the right areas. Spearhead does

[kindred flint]

its just..mostly humorous they started s1 off with a map that gets cut down for 64p, then make s2/3 maps for 64? and just throw 128 in them anyways

[pseudo pecan]

what does this icon mean, i sometimes see it appear on top of vehicles, #screenshots-and-clips message

[ebon pilot]

Yeah, I honestly just prefer 128p Conquest

[ebon pilot]

That means it's a tank

[next onyx]

I don't hate or love 128P conq.

[kindred flint]

just a regular "this is a vehicle" icon

[pseudo pecan]

the square above it, im able to see a lot of vehicles through obsticles when that icon appears

[ebon pilot]

Right

[kindred flint]

its been spotted by your team

[pseudo pecan]

how/who

[ebon pilot]

how: Q, who: cares

[kindred flint]

anyone on the team can now hit Q/the spotting/comrose button and spot things for the whole team

if you aint spam spotting everything you can while moving youre not playing correctly

[chilly jacinth]

back to the bf4 days of spam spotting

[pseudo pecan]

oh, i thought it was some ability or gadget cause multiple vehicles are marked at the same time

[chilly jacinth]

soflam gadget can mark multiple vehicles

[kindred flint]

if a soflam spots a vehicle it will have a diamond over the body of the vehicle right?

[chilly jacinth]

ye

[kindred flint]

to show you can lock onto it with multiple weapons

[next onyx]

Actually you know what I will say.

The spotting we have now isn't even that bad.

[lilac dust]

Lol the top of the team player in my match just said in chat "Shocking performance from all of you" 🤣

[next onyx]

The spot wears off quick.

But it's enough to convey information.

[pseudo pecan]

so when you spot someone or a tank, who sees it? everyone on your team, ppl nearby, or just squad?

[next onyx]

Everyone.

[glacial quarry]

they need to make exposure and c2 on kaleidoscope less defendable in breakthrough

its ridiculous lol

[chilly jacinth]

just dont play breakthrough

[glacial quarry]

breakthrough is fun tho

[chilly jacinth]

then you dont have to deal with it

[glacial quarry]

usually when i "deal with it" im on the defending side

and its annoying cuz its just a camping game

[pseudo pecan]

yea but isnt that what defending is

[next onyx]

The last sector is meant to be difficult.

Breakthrough is set up in a way where it's more difficult for the attackers to push forward the further they're into the defenders.

Defenders need to make the attackers bleed as much to increase the chances they win on the last sector.

[glacial quarry]

yeah but the one on kaleidoscope is aids

i was on a defending team that was absolute dogshit we lost like a sector every 2 mins

7 min and full ticket by the time we got to C

and we defended lmao

they can make it a bit easier (still extremely hard) by making cars unable to fit inside cuz ppl are camping on top with cars

[lilac dust]

Woohoo got tier 1 on the shotgun, the pistol and the railgun 🥳

[magic bloom]

Nice

Honesty for a new vehicle i want an updated version of the ADATS

Because anti everything tanks and air

[glacial quarry]

is there a damage chart somewhere for the diff guns, something like symthic

[kindred flint]

https://sym.gg/ they have 2042

[magic bloom]

Is your pfp a for honor emblem

[kindred flint]

perhaps

[magic bloom]

Main?

[kindred flint]

the one i havent played in like 4 years but definitely not a weeb one

[nocturne heron]

What is the height limit for the player carrier?

[kindred flint]

the skybox is like 650m?

but theyre lowering it in the next update iirc

[next onyx]

Ye for helis.

But not for jets.

Which is good.

Let them fly up.

[spiral folio]

uff lord, some celebrity streamer was in our last game, like he's legit good, but what an ass

[kindred flint]

mackay k30 user?

[lilac dust]

What you guys like better on AM40? High power or drum mag?

[spiral folio]

never saw him anywhere but chat, he scored good but i'm not gonna blow smoke up somebody's backside so they can tell me how great they are

[solid torrent]

Drum

[spiral folio]

he literally pulled "do you know who I AM?!" on us

[next onyx]

Ah right. One of those guys.

[magic bloom]

Way what percent do you place in battlefield

[spiral folio]

the answer is "deez nuts" or something right?

[chilly jacinth]

man is it ever frustrating when all your choppers and jets + AA suck balls so their air vehicles had free reign basically all game

[kindred flint]

i hear you just rao and insta pop them with a single aa missile

[chilly jacinth]

no

im too busy getting Zain to T1

[magic bloom]

I Love playing the wildcat

It’s fun

[silk surge]

Finally

[grave prism]

is there a way to cheese the jet unlocks 25mm is so weak and everybody just flares when i use the aa, the only people i can destroy vehicle of are idiots 😦

[slate meadow]

Messi = 🐐

[ripe hedge]

👀

[kindred flint]

well well well...look who has returned

[silk surge]

Thanks for the welcome 🙂 But I wasn't gone for that long.

[pseudo pecan]

so how does the soflam work, in order to make the enemies show up on the teams mini map (not just squad) do i have to ping every single one while looking through the scope or do i simply just look at them?

[spiral folio]

soflam's main benefit is that you can lock on to vehicles so that the recoilless guys can lock on to em

aside from that it spots things in a wide area

[pseudo pecan]

right so that spot, do i have to ping or just look through the scope for team to see enemies that i saw

[reef trail]

Anyone else having problems starting Battlefield ?

[spiral folio]

any specific error message or just failing

[reef trail]

The "Your game couldn´t start" message in the EA App

Okey never mind I fixed it

[spiral folio]

you might check your processes to see if it's already "running"

[glacial quarry]

does condor count as a heli or jet

cuz on hourglass i was flying like 800+ meters above with it

[magic bloom]

Just hold it on them you’ll see it lock like it’s a stinger

[glacial quarry]

and still didnt hit skybox

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/cristiano-ronaldo-joeur-de-foot-joueur-portuguais-football-attaquant-gif-12072423

[white geyser]

Alright I did tried using this railgun in solo and it was pretty good, I did get mostly of the headshot and body shots

[silk surge]

It becomes really good as a sniper when you unlock the 6x scope.

[slate meadow]

anybody ele keep getting matchmaking errors?

[silk surge]

Yeah, a good work-around is to queue for a solo/co-op game and then cancel and queue again.

[arctic grove]

How can I play Bf 2042 free week?. Do I need Ea Play for it? I'm confused 😅. #sendhelp #Ps4

[naive magnet]

I saw a question I wanted to piggyback off earlier

Who or what allows the Nonguided missiles of all kind to lock onto targets?

[silk surge]

SOFLAM

It's a laser pointer that can paint targets and spot enemies. It's fun to play around with.

I remember back during launch, me and my mates were sitting on a rooftop with SOFLAM and Carl Gustafs killing 20 helis in one game.

[spiral folio]

the problem with it is when i use it, nobody has rockets

and then the whole fact that you will get 0 score for it so people will act like you're doing nothing

guarantee that's why almost nobody uses it

[silk surge]

Squad coordination is required. You only have a small window to lock onto a soflammed target.

[spiral folio]

xp out the wazoo

but like 0 score

[naive magnet]

And any rocket can get it right? Even AA missiles?

[silk surge]

Well... AA missiles doesn't need a SOFLAM lock.

[spiral folio]

lis cant but the recoilless is good vs a lot of AA

er vs A

as AA i meant i guess

[naive magnet]

For tanks? I’ve been in wildcat and able to target tanks before with AA

[spiral folio]

well if you have a tank marked it means you can lob off the rocket and it'll seek the target

[naive magnet]

Is that the soflam allowing me?

[silk surge]

Oh sorry, I misunderstood your question. Yes, if a target is soflammed you could use AG as AA and vise versa.

[naive magnet]

Do most good Airplane/Helo people look for those types of things given the opportunity?

[spiral folio]

well they can flare off the mark which.. makes any amount of sense

-launch flares- "aw geez i can't laser track this somehow"

[silk surge]

Jets/Helis can't tell if they are being soflammed, it shows as a regular lock-on for them.

[azure rampart]

big iron on my hip

[white geyser]

There’s an AA missile without lock on system back in BF4 and I forgot what’s it called

[azure rampart]

passive radar

[silk surge]

There was a launcher called Fliegerfaust in BFV. Loved using it.

[naive magnet]

Are there any other lock on AA devices? Or just Lis and M5?

[spiral folio]

the lis rocket is piloted but it's not tracking

[naive magnet]

No tracking at all I feel like? At least for equipment?

[azure rampart]

stinger

[naive magnet]

Maybe I haven’t unlocked it

[spiral folio]

play4free had a tracer dart gun you had to shoot things with

and then the stinger would go after it

[signal forge]

What is the AFK timer?

[spiral folio]

a timer that times afk

[hexed mango]

wish my game ran that well

[hexed mango]

game developer rizz

[fluid portal]

i got ejected from a match for anticheat violations????

does the game think im hacking or smthn??????

[hexed mango]

maybe dont violate the anticheat

[fluid portal]

ok bud

bro it happened again

[silk surge]

Apparentely there's a 1.5m xp cap..... I had no idea that was a thing.

[hexed mango]

i think at launch it was 5m but they lowered it once xp farming happened too much

also i hate that guy

[silk surge]

Yeah, he's extremely arrogant.

[hexed mango]

indeed

[silk surge]

I remember him making a Reddit post clarifying something about his clips and the top comment was "who the fuck are you?"

[hexed mango]

i really fucking hope 3.2 has more optimization changes. cause fucking hell i cannot live with the 100% cpu util

[hexed mango]

i think something similar happened to enders lol

streamers sometimes think too highly of themselves

[silk surge]

I feel like most people in the community knows who Enders is though 😮

[chilly jacinth]

Reinstall EAC

[hexed mango]

yeah but not a lot like him

[silk surge]

Can't blame them.

[hexed mango]

[chilly jacinth]

I've only seen him whining

not very likeable

[hexed mango]

[silk surge]

Dude has over 1k hours logged and he acts like 2042 murdered his family in his videos.

[fluid portal]

tbh i can understand this

[arctic grove]

Twitch moment

[hexed mango]

[magic bloom]

Just to good bro

[fluid portal]

i was popping off tbf

[magic bloom]

What were you going

[fluid portal]

only like 13-0 but i just joined

[magic bloom]

Rip

[silk surge]

Zain's backstory is super confusing to me. He's the right-hand man of Oz, a guy that is considered an international terrorist by both US and Russia.... Yet he's hired by them? His ties to Exodus is also extremely vaguely explained...

[broken horizon]

anyone else cant queue for breakthrough ?

[silk surge]

Queue into solo/co-op, cancel, and then requeue to Breakthrough - that should solve your problem.

[broken horizon]

thanks will try it out

[silk surge]

I swear, my ballistic shield gets me killed more than the enemy. That thing is so disgustingly unreliable.

Look at this shit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muRIDXSHZww

[hexed mango]

lmao

lemme send that to sam rq

[ebon pilot]

I don't think he's hired by them, but rather indirectly through the Exodus force?

[silk surge]

Been meaning to make a Ballistic shield fail compilation to warn newcomers to not pick Dozer. Hard f-tier specialist.

[hexed mango]

i think most the No Pats are somewhat terrorists

its just that they work to fight the US and RU's proxy war

[ebon pilot]

Oz's no pat organization is definitely considered a terrorist group

[silk surge]

True, but remember what Oz's crew did to the Exodus ship? Why would they let someone who's basically Oz's assistant be allowed near them?

[hexed mango]

yes

[ebon pilot]

but the others like Exodus maybe not

[hexed mango]

as in pak?

[silk surge]

That and the fact that they were about to murder Irish's kid in front of him.

[ebon pilot]

Maybe they think they can use him / he thinks he can use them

[silk surge]

Maybe. I wish DICE would go more in depth on that though, they were extremely vague about it in the article. All they really said was that they suspect that Zain is trying to manipulate Exodus.

[ripe hedge]

Whut

[hexed mango]

you heard me

[ebon pilot]

maybe alex can just leak the whole story for us

[hexed mango]

i mean the whole story is online already

[ebon pilot]

assuming there's more to it

[silk surge]

Hey Alex, could you please make the reload speed on the new shotgun a bit faster? I recently got it to T1, and I feel like the reload speed is almost a dealbreaker to an otherwise amazing gun.

[hexed mango]

in the exodus trailer, irish was gonna give the satellite data to Oz, and iirc when rao figured out what it would be and what it would do, they refused to give it to him, and oz attacked

maybe zain, like irish and rao betrayed oz

god damn the exodus short film is goated why cant we get a part 2

ik that irish is dead irl but fuck i want more

[ebon pilot]

maybe zain, like irish and rao betrayed oz
one of the voicelines for zain reviving a teammate is "oz would never forgive me if i let you die" or something along those lines

[hexed mango]

interesting

im not sure then tbh

[crimson basin]

Is there even a game where shields are implemented properly?

[hexed mango]

from the way i gather the information, it seems that the No Pats that Oz wanted were ones that would fight against Ru and Us, cause he says something like that in the trailer
but then the specialists like rao and irish broke away and fought on their own terms.. something like that

also L Pak is only level 42 what a noob

[silk surge]

Wait what??

So I guess Exodus and Oz are friends now or wtf is going on.

[hexed mango]

"Put a call out to any No-Pat who will listen: 36 hours to Doha. Get ready to fight."

[silk surge]

"Oh god, not Hourglass again"

[hexed mango]

or maybe zain is just special, and/or he just broke off, but still is somewhat loyal idk

or, like irish said, he is one of the no-pats who listened, and fought with irish instead of oz, but still has that sense of honor towards oz

[hexed mango]

tbh it looks cooler in the map in the trailer than ingame

they show a view of it for like 2 seconds

[silk surge]

Tbh, the map looks amazing at times, I just don't like the gameplay flow of it.

The giant sand cloud sweeping the entire map is one of the coolest things I've seen in a modern FPS.

[hexed mango]

also fun fact the Satellite in Doha is called "Shearwater_1"

also why tf isnt the satellite on the map during gameplay

it would be so cool if it fell from the sky in the middle of the match and became a new capture objective

[silk surge]

iirc, the AOW maps aren't fully cannon. Hazard Zone is the cannon gamemode.

[hexed mango]

some other names of satellites on the screen in the trailer are in russian, but there are some others, "Caipirinha_112", "Ting_Bu_Dong_2A", "0-ZPO0N", "HONGSAHO_rOU"

[hexed mango]

lame

[edgy oriole]

[hexed mango]

in the trailer Hourglass looks like its an industrial complex and a sand dune/hill mixed in with the city

[silk surge]

Apparentely, Hazard Zone was supposed to expand on the lore each season, but due to the reception of the game, they scrapped that idea.

[hexed mango]

fuck.

if only HZ was actually cool

or if only they could do the lore in the main game.

[edgy oriole]

if only they didnt make HZ suck ass

[silk surge]

I really wonder what 2042 would have looked like today if the massive backlash never happened.

[hexed mango]

probably worse cause if there was no backlash, there wouldnt have been a rush to fix stuff

[edgy oriole]

we would still have 128 bt

[hexed mango]

its coming back

im so excited

[silk surge]

I meant more in the veins of, what if the game didn't struggle to retain players.

[edgy oriole]

[hexed mango]

ah

well i mean i guess that wouldnt change much game wise, maybe better matchmaking and actually more urgency to fix shit but at the same time, since those issues were there, people wouldnt stay

[silk surge]

I feel like they would have a substantially larger dev team assigned to 2042 if the game was highly profitable though.

[hexed mango]

true true

and maybe if NFS didnt exist, criterion would still be helping

[eager spire]

i would say the game would have to be good to be profitable

but bad games can be profitable as well so

i donno

[hexed mango]

from what ive gathered, they split the dev team into more fine-tuned groups after launch, cause sam was telling me he helped out with the guns and some other stuff pre-launch but now only does specialists/gadgets

[silk surge]

It sounded like EA had massive plans for 2042 pre-launch. There were talks about a 3 year live service, consistent updates to PORTAL and Hazard Zone etc.

[hexed mango]

damn.

maybe it was just a bit too ambitious

[edgy oriole]

i mean its prolly still gonna get year 3. idk about other content tho

[hexed mango]

i think if there were only 2 modes, AoW and HZ or Aow and Portal, it may have been better focused
we cant say for certain. i just hope it gets good before S5 so we dont get a classic EA move and have they cancel the game right as its getting good

[hexed mango]

[silk surge]

I feel like if the game released in the state it is today, that plan would have worked.

[hexed mango]

they only announced 1 season out of 4 for a Y2... i doubt they'll give us a S6-8

[edgy oriole]

I mean EA said they want bf to be 2-3 year and we already passed year 1. next battlefield isnt in sight

[hexed mango]

i mean they already started working on it tho

granted only the campaign, but its showing that it is indeed in sight

[edgy oriole]

its heard of not in sight yet

[hexed mango]

and that they have a plan, and at the least a style they want to focus on

[hexed mango]

but on the table

[silk surge]

I doubt there will be much more beyond Season 5. Maybe S6,7,8 if we're lucky, but I can't see them sticking to 2042 until 2024.

[edgy oriole]

best believe it

[silk surge]

My current prediction is that during Season 5, they will announce Season 6... But after Season 6, they will officially announce that they're moving everyone over to the next Battlefield.

[hexed mango]

at the very least i hope its a SWBF2 thing where it gets good, to be cancelled, cause at the very very least it would be good.
granted, it being cancelled to just work on the next game would be quite sad, cause then it leans towards the same cycle of a half-baked launch only to take 1-2 years to complete and then to cancel once good.

[edgy oriole]

we are going to get info on next battlefield game in year 2 season 2

is my guess

[hexed mango]

sounds like the most likely outside of them not doing S6, since we dont know yet

i was pleasantly surprised by the S5 and earlier post-S4 announcement

so maybe by the end of S3 they'll state post S5, or during S4

[arctic grove]

It saddens me to see how they probably not gonna have a s6.

[hexed mango]

we will see

[silk surge]

You're right. Although I think if there's going to be a Season 6, they will announce it pretty late. Season 6 is most likely in pre-production already, but it's uncertain if it will ever see the light of day.

[hexed mango]

indeed

[arctic grove]

Like why start a Y2 but end up pulling the plug after s5? But like you said, We shall see.

[hexed mango]

although i was kinda saddened that the narrative of the S5 map went from "a BF4 map reworked" to a "map that could of been in BF4, but isnt a reworked map"

at that rate, will the S6 (if it happens) map be a BF4-type map as well? idk

[silk surge]

EA's current plan is probably to ensure that people don't believe that 2042's end is near, which is why they're announcing new seasons past S4 this way.

[hexed mango]

i hope that is indeed the case

[edgy oriole]

year 2 gonna happen 100%

[arctic grove]

Yeah bro that was hella misleading

[edgy oriole]

there is no way they have another multiplayer experience ready to come out after this shit show

zero shot

[hexed mango]

ikr

[arctic grove]

DICE has a rep of saying one thing then changing it or just straight out lying.

Like how they said 15+ maps, 70+ weapons lmao.

[hexed mango]

itll be a few years, but they already announced Dice would be working on multiplayer, RE would be working on a "new experience" and ridgeline is doing the campaign for the next game

[hexed mango]

yeah they included portal stuff in those counts... which i guess isnt technically wrong but its not right either

[arctic grove]

"new experience" makes it sound like they are reinventing the wheel again.

[silk surge]

That clarification confused tf out of me... If they're picking a specific place that "hasn't seen battle since Battlefield 4".... That obviously means that it's going to be located at the same location that a BF4 map was located... right?

[edgy oriole]

sadly i wont be touching a single player only battlefield.

[arctic grove]

What pisses me off is why talk like that? They make it sound soo complicated instead of just keeping it simple and to the point.

[arctic grove]

What if a missiom was based around Angel?

[hexed mango]

dont be sad

[edgy oriole]

im not here to watch a audio book

im here for blood and murder

[hexed mango]

yeah... but then Ryan McArthur said its not a rework, but a map that "could of been" part of BF4... which makes me confused.

[hexed mango]

they would like to think

[edgy oriole]

i dont care where these pixels went to college and worked

i want to murder them

[silk surge]

That's an outright contradiction on his part.

[tall crypt]

is there AI in multiplayer?

[arctic grove]

Then DICE wonders why they get soo much hate and toxicity from their community.

They could have told us from the beginning it wasnt a bf4 remake map.

[hexed mango]

in portal, and featured modes, yeah

[eager spire]

?????????????

genuinely what the fuck does that mean, Ryan?

[silk surge]

Maybe he meant that it's not a remake, but more of a reboot. An old BF4 location, but differently structured.

Like, it's not Siege of Shanghai... It's Remnants of Shanghai or something like that.

[tall crypt]

id rather play not full servers over playing AI

AI is boring

[hexed mango]

um you know on the map I think it's really cool the way that we're looking at is sort of creating this this world of sort of an environment reclaiming so kind of um you know it's not a remake of a Battlefield 4 map but it's sort of uh you know a setting that we've taken from that could have been a war zone that was a part of the the sort of the BF4 world and then you know how does that how does that war zone look now reclaimed by nature and things like that so I think the team is um they're having a lot of fun with this

• Ryan, https://youtu.be/3QSyb9I9oQU?t=726

[arctic grove]

God that is sooo incoherent

[chilly jacinth]

you wont

[hexed mango]

all the "um"s were just taken from the transcript fyi i just didnt want to remove them lmao

[arctic grove]

game wont start if the server dont have enough players

[silk surge]

"could have been a war zone that was a part of the the sort of the BF4" I want whatever he's smoking.

[hexed mango]

here once sec

[eager spire]

??????????????????????????????

[hexed mango]

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

• Blog post, https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-briefing-first-look-at-2023

[eager spire]

RYAN PLEASE JUST WRITE A SCRIPT MAN

[hexed mango]

tl;dr:

Ryan says "it's not a remake of a Battlefield 4 map"
Blog says the map "will be a forgotten battleground that last saw combat in the Battlefield 4 era"

[ebon pilot]

I guess they mean remake like portal map remakes where they're the same map remade for 2042

[hexed mango]

i mean the blog says it "last saw combat in BF4"
as in, it was something you played on, i.e. a map.

[silk surge]

"The new Season 5 map coming will be a forgotten battleground that last saw combat in the Battlefield 4 era." That part in particular clearly implies that it's either a remake or reboot of an old Battlefield map.... This is hurting my head.

[arctic grove]

Tbh ryan have been doing that since the Beta Alpha

[hexed mango]

that isnt what ryan said, he said it wont be a remake

[hexed mango]

exactly. this is so fucking confusing.

[ebon pilot]

right so it's not a remake like a portal map is a remake

[arctic grove]

It might be a remake map but they changed it completely? Who knows.

[hexed mango]

"saw combat" implied you played on it.

[hexed mango]

correct

[ebon pilot]

that's what i'm thinking

[hexed mango]

Now perhaps what boris said is accurate, its not a direct copy paste of a BF4 map, but they are rebuilding a BF4 map from scratch, and changing the map to either fit 2042 style or the 2042 gameplay

which i hope is the case

[arctic grove]

If this is what they are saying, they basically want to take credit of a good bf4 map and claim it their own lmao.

[arctic grove]

Basically stealing the credit.

Sorta like what amazon did to lord of the rings lmao

[hexed mango]

everyone please listen to this for 10 hours

[arctic grove]

The witcher show is a horrible fanfic that doesnt follow actual lore.

[hexed mango]

omg my high on life torrent is 92% done!

it only took 10 hours

[arctic grove]

OOF

[chilly jacinth]

you couldve earned enough $ in that time to buy it

[hallow sierra]

ok the new shotgun and pistol is pretty good

[subtle raptor]

Anyone know when the aircraft and class updates will be released

[hexed mango]

yeah i just dont want to pay for a single player game ngl

especially if i dont actually know if i want it

if i end up really enjoying the game, maybe ill buy it on steam

[magic bloom]

I still think you should be able to switch whichever side you want it on so you could have buckshot in one tube and slugs in the other

[kindred flint]

2 at a time reloading dice when

[arctic grove]

If you mean organizing vehicles differently it was already added

Class update in January

[magic bloom]

I Wonder if they’ll add the FN Five Seven as a sidearm

[edgy oriole]

if they do its gonna replace the revolver 150%

[magic bloom]

Everything replaces the m44

[edgy oriole]

[magic bloom]

Unless your just some cracked out tryhard who hits constant headshots

[edgy oriole]

[subtle raptor]

No below radar update

And height limit changes

[magic bloom]

Below radar is either gonna be completely useless or op as shit

[subtle raptor]

I'm leaning towards useless cause of handheld anti air

[magic bloom]

Or the fact the wildcat 30mm exists

Shreds helicopters

[subtle raptor]

Wildcat needs a huge nerf or aircraft need a huge buff

[magic bloom]

Why

[subtle raptor]

Air ground support is almost useless if there's even a squad of good players on the opposite team

[magic bloom]

The stealth heli existing

Counters every fucking ground vehicle

[subtle raptor]

You said it yourself wildcat 30mm

[magic bloom]

If you can hit it in time before it drops that bullshit ass emp grenade

And all he’s gotta do is just hover directly above you

[subtle raptor]

I mean I did say good players lol if I'm using the wildcat I stay in between zones, less chance a helis gonna sit on you

But still thats just 1 of the helis in the game and you could count the jets too even though they really aren't made for air to ground

[magic bloom]

Jets I don’t really mind

Since most people just slam the thing in the dirt trying to go top down

[subtle raptor]

Lol true I don't really play the jets too much

[magic bloom]

Unless it’s the f-35 and you just slam the air brake (funny helicopter mode)

[subtle raptor]

It would be cool if there was a ground support like the a-10 but the f35 is supposed to replace the a-10 irl and there's no true Russian equivalent

Even the su57 is more like the f22

[magic bloom]

We really should’ve gotten a F-22 instead of the 35

But we all know it would smack around the SU-57 like it’s cannon fodder

[subtle raptor]

Not only that but the f22 is definitely gonna be replaced with the ngad by 2042

[magic bloom]

Oh yeah for sure

[subtle raptor]

That's another problem I have with the game is that it's not ambitious enough

[magic bloom]

That’s the entirety of battlefield

[subtle raptor]

The only really futurisitic things are the tor and the railgun

[magic bloom]

I mean guns probably won’t change that much in 20 years

The optics on the other hand would probably do everything but pull the trigger

[subtle raptor]

Caseless ammo making guns more powerful for their size is a big one

Yep the optics too

[magic bloom]

I honestly don’t thing caseless ammo will be that big of a thing

I think we might get polymer cases ammo tbh

[subtle raptor]

I think one of the prototypes for the ngsw used plastic cased ammo

[magic bloom]

With a very thin coat of brass or something on the inside so the case doesn’t explode

[magic bloom]

I think it was general dynamics that had that one

[subtle raptor]

Yep

[magic bloom]

I think vehicles like the condor and and the RAH 68 are definitely gonna be a thing in 20 years though

Since the condor is literally just a osprey but with massive jet engines

[subtle raptor]

Idk about the condor but the rah 68 is a real helicopter

[magic bloom]

The Comanche

Well was a real helicopter they’ve probably all been scraped and turned into the stealthy Blackhawk

[subtle raptor]

It's the bell 360 Invictus

[pseudo pecan]

i wish the scoreboard showed more info 😦 and we cant check how many medics we got for the team or other kits to see what needs to be filled more. i really dont know if what im doing is contributing or hurting the match, sometimes winning doesnt feel like a win or other way around

[eager spire]

Put it this way, are you going positive or negative?

[magic bloom]

The Rah 66 Comanche is almost an exact copy but without the duel main rotors

[eager spire]

If you're going positive, you're contributing.

If you're going negative, you're hurting it.

[subtle raptor]

Also the bell v-280 replaced the Blackhawk they could add that as well

[magic bloom]

The ospreys dumb little brother

[pseudo pecan]

its sometimes back n forth, but lately ive been playing breakthrough or rush xl (the amount of chaos in rush xl is so fun)

[eager spire]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pseudo pecan]

but lets say we are going negative (i assum eu mean the overall tickets decreasing), how can you tell what needs to be done more of?

[magic bloom]

I am quite sad the RAH 66 Comanche never actually got put into service

[eager spire]

killing

also dying less would be beneficial.

[pseudo pecan]

so which is better, getting a few kills but only dying like once or twice, or dying a lot but more kills?

[eager spire]

again that depends on if you're dying more than you're killing.

if not, then you're helping.

[pseudo pecan]

hmm was always curious about that, so its better to play it safe and shoot from a distance getting kills but slowly (at least for me) and few deaths, than like a 1.5:1KD but in a lot more frequently (more/faster kills, but also more deaths)

[fluid portal]

All my homies just play for fun. Fuck stats

[hexed mango]

based

[pseudo pecan]

oh yea, as a first time battlefield player (except battlefront), im having a blast, i like the many different roles i can play and how crazy some of the matches can get (rush xl specifically), but sometimes i dont know if im actually helping, like if i wanna play a sniper, i get so few kills but also very few deaths, and i dont know if i actually helped or hurt or made no difference

[fluid portal]

Think about it this way

[pseudo pecan]

i like hacking with rao too, but again i dont know if im wasted space

[hexed mango]

play whatever you want, whatever makes you happy

sniping is good to pick off the backline of the enemy

[magic bloom]

Me and the gang pulling up and dropping a combined total of 20 kills

[fluid portal]

In a 64v64 match, only the top 20 do half decent

Or each team

On average in my experience

Absolutely no stats to back that up btw

But anyway my point is

Dont give a fuck about your "impact". Even if you do, i guarantee there are always gonna be people doing less than you. Just do whatever makes you happy, king

[magic bloom]

There’s also stuff you can do besides kill

Like if your dropping 20 or 30 revives your pulling way more than your weight

[fluid portal]

Like, personally, i just fly in with Sundance, kill 2 or 3 then die. Am i feeding tickets? Probably but im having fun so who gives a fuck

I am a fun main

[tardy path]

When the size of your team alone is 64, that means your squad accounts for less than 10% of the total size and therefore 'impact' is minimal/pointless on a squad-by-squad basis. It's just who has the better team

[hexed mango]

Rao is amazing

Zain is fun

Irish is also pretty nice

[magic bloom]

I’m a Troll main

[fluid portal]

Exactly bro

[tardy path]

I hate it tbh

[chilly jacinth]

just get good

[hexed mango]

ong

[chilly jacinth]

so your squad pulls more weight

[hexed mango]

skill issue major

[tardy path]

Like, why go for an objective when you know multiple teams can go for that one spot and still have plenty of others available?

[hexed mango]

if everyone has that mentality, then nobody will get it done

[fluid portal]

Yeah you lose games if people dont pull their weight but like, the only people that are gonna flame your win/loss ratio are absolute fucking virgins so youre winning in more important ways lol

[hexed mango]

so you gotta get going and do it yourself

[tardy path]

Oh, I know; It's just disheartening to see most of that doubled team size be made up of numbnutties

[magic bloom]

Hey now I’m a virg… actually never mind

[hexed mango]

especially with the recent free weekend, its understandable

[fluid portal]

Nothing wrong with that, king. You'll get there eventually<3

[tardy path]

No better example than when you have a team unwilling to deal with a helicopter or tank🙃

[pseudo pecan]

yea thats a good point about the squad thing

[magic bloom]

VIP over here cheering people up

[fluid portal]

AM40 is the best thing since torn-with-your-hands bread

[magic bloom]

On fucking god ^^

[hexed mango]

ive been told that squad stuff, like incentives and squad management rework stuff is being worked on
so hopefully the squad play will be better soon

[wide shore]

My W/L could be better. But it’s not bad all things considered. It’s really hard to really contribute a massive amount in a 128p game.

[fluid portal]

@magic bloom you fell for my trap

[magic bloom]

What trap

[fluid portal]

Am40 go brrrr

[wide shore]

You can be a great medic, or a good support. Or cap loads of flags. But in the end, if the other 63 people on your team isn’t doing much you’re shit outta luck.

[tardy path]

That'd be great; I think we're well far enough to have cross play squad leader comms; We get a squad name at the start of every game

[fluid portal]

AM40 is now your favourite gun

[magic bloom]

I’m slowly using falck more cause not enough good medics

[magic bloom]

It’s my favorite assault rifle.

[hexed mango]

am40 is bussin

[fluid portal]

Bro ngl the Xbox medics are the unsung heroes of the battlefield

[tardy path]

Yep; You do well enough; You'll have just earned yourself a nice hate parade that continues to look out for you and whatever led you to doing well :/

[magic bloom]

Your welcome.

[fluid portal]

Theyre always the ones that actually res people

[tardy path]

They can play with one hand and farm easy points lol

[hexed mango]

that would be epic. if squad leads could talk to other squads, along with other changes to squad lead that may have been shown in the dev update a while back, would make squad play and cross-squad play better

[magic bloom]

We do indeed be running through half the enemy team and fighting off the other half just to revive people

[wide shore]

[fluid portal]

Proximity chat would be more fun imo

[magic bloom]

It would be cool if the squad leads could talk to the other ones

[tardy path]

Ngl, I use the ammo medic just to self sustain my sniping but I'll still revive anyone I come across, I don't get why others dont

[fluid portal]

Think of the shit talking possibilities

[hexed mango]

yeah but i mean its not a historical feature of bf and the 128p might be too chaotic

[pseudo pecan]

yea that would be cool, or join other squads VC to team up and coordinate a flank or something

[magic bloom]

I have been known to let the 240 go on full auto to cover a teammate I just revived

[fluid portal]

A man can dream

[tardy path]

I mean, if they're gonna limit destruction (something every BF player lov3s) then they should at least give us the cross squad talking (what every BF player wants)

[fluid portal]

BF5 medics will charge 100m to get a res i swear

[tardy path]

it's cuz we care for our homies

[fluid portal]

Those mfs are dedicated

Most 2042 medics are selfish pricks

[tardy path]

I wish sidearms felt more impactful and I could just wield a syringe in one hand and a tiny pistol in the other

[fluid portal]

Idk man the glock is kinda busted

[tardy path]

Sidearms-plural

most feel... ehh. The glock I greatly agree on

[fluid portal]

M44 is fun asf

The mp28 is a pocket sniper

[magic bloom]

I once ran 200 meters after pinging a dude for revive only for him to cancel it when I got close enough to revive him (the timer was still going)

[fluid portal]

The new one i havent played with much

[tardy path]

ooiohh

[wide shore]

Glock, Raffica, PF51 all good options

[fluid portal]

The full auto sidearm shreds

[magic bloom]

MP28 Is best sidearm

[fluid portal]

Sidearms are in a good place. Maybe the glock is a lil too potent but idk

[hexed mango]

Oregon.exe

[calm bison]

Just unlocked the 93R and good god this shit is

[tardy path]

Sorry, but you basically were holding the door for someone far away—forcing them into an interaction they didn't want; A.E. He was a COD player

[calm bison]

Terrible

[hexed mango]

its pretty good

[wide shore]

Don’t ADS with it

[tardy path]

Still feels bad tho

[calm bison]

It kicks so much

There are no attachments

[wide shore]

It’s mostly visual recoil

[hexed mango]

especially if you need a pocket smg, if you are running a sniper or dmr or smth its nice to have

[calm bison]

Not even a suppressor

[wide shore]

If you don’t ADS with it, it doesn’t “kick” very much

[calm bison]

The raffica would benefit from having 2042 attachments

[hexed mango]

all vault guns would

[fluid portal]

I wish the MP9 was better tbh

[wide shore]

Most of the vault guns would benefit from it

[hexed mango]

1911 with red dot and laser por favor

[tardy path]

A lot would benefit from having actual attachments

[hexed mango]

yep

[calm bison]

Extended mag pls

[hexed mango]

yes.

please extended mag

[wide shore]

The poor XM8 only had 2 sights and that’s it

[calm bison]

The 416 is pretty decent

[wide shore]

A lot of Vault guns are really good.

[tardy path]

Also how some guns are better to wait until unlocking than using the first one they give you for that class?

[calm bison]

But where M98B

[fluid portal]

Why tho

[wide shore]

Where’s the damn AN94

[tardy path]

it's better to use M5 until you unlock DX than it is to use the starting sniper rifle—like wtf?

[calm bison]

Fuck the AN I want my barrett

[fluid portal]

THIS

[wide shore]

Fuck the Barrett I want my AN

[tardy path]

First unlock on the starting sniper rifle: CQC ammo...

[fluid portal]

Actually no

Fuck the AN i want my G11

[calm bison]

G11 hasn’t been in a battlefield game and it isn’t in Portal

[wide shore]

2 round recoiling barrel weird sideways mag, 1600 RPM hyperburst

Let’s gooo

[calm bison]

Can we get juggernog in AOW

[fluid portal]

Right but like, 2042 is the perfect game for a fictional g11 update

[calm bison]

It was turned down in the 80s

[wide shore]

Let’s just get that Cold War Battlefield game

Please

[fluid portal]

Only turned down because of the influx of guns from the soviet union

[calm bison]

Fuck Cold War

Do Vietnam

Like full force

[wide shore]

Vietnam is part of the Cold War era tho

[hexed mango]

lol

[fluid portal]

Lol

[tardy path]

My question is why I can't find anyone wanting to play MW2's BF mode—ain't too bad; you can actually do something against vehicles as a single person

[hexed mango]

history is hard for some

[calm bison]

Yes but you were largely asking for a game that was closer to a range instead of one specific topic

[magic bloom]

How it told him the distance I was away he could’ve canceled anytime between when I got there

[hexed mango]

cause 1968 doesnt fall between 1946 and 1991 obviously

[fluid portal]

But like, pbx fun

[hexed mango]

why not? they did good with bf1

[fluid portal]

And pretty balanced

[tardy path]

Bro, paying attention to the world is hard for most sadly

[fluid portal]

And bf5 it was good fight me

[calm bison]

I said they should make a Korean War game and people said I was stupid and that there was nothing they could do

[tardy path]

BF1 was a standard of an era

[calm bison]

Like my guy

[eager spire]

BF1 was not that good.

[calm bison]

That is the dawn of jet warfare and we have never seen the Korean War in a modern AAA title

[hexed mango]

in fact bf1 was so goated that they included nearly all the factions
granted, the guns were mainly prototypes, but you gotta fit fps somehow

Grand Ops were some of the most fun stuff ever in bf for me

[fluid portal]

Cap

[tardy path]

BF5 they admitted they took steps to make BF more like COD

[eager spire]

it could've been much better but they made a lot of bad decisions in terms of gameplay.

[wide shore]

[hexed mango]

its good.

its 🐐

[fluid portal]

Ok and?

[eager spire]

Oh come on, you already know my problems with BF1.

[calm bison]

If you remove the atmosphere BF1 kinda falls apart

[wide shore]

[tardy path]

Someone got touched too much in the bunkers on BF1🤣🤣

[calm bison]

The gameplay isn’t very good

[wide shore]

Every war game defiles historical wars.

[eager spire]

What?

[hexed mango]

again, bf1 might not have the "modern" movement and gunplay that many other games have, but its unique in its own way
even tho bloom is ass

[tardy path]

Baaad. BF should be BF, just look at where it led—we barely have the levels of destruction we used to in BF1 alone

[calm bison]

That’s my main problem

[wide shore]

Still not as bad as using the SCAR in fortnite. Yeesh

[calm bison]

Random bullet deviation is terrible

[eager spire]

It is unique, and in some ways that's interesting, but in other ways, it just sucks in terms of gameplay.

[magic bloom]

BF1 destruction wasn’t even that good

[calm bison]

“Uh but they were older guns”

[tardy path]

The bunkers? You don't remember the bunkers in the mountains?

[wide shore]

HUHHHH

[fluid portal]

Ok but like, hear me out, its still enjoyable. Very enjoyable.

[wide shore]

WHAT

[eager spire]

no.

[calm bison]

My guy DICE wanted a mechanic where your tank would randomly break in BF1

[eager spire]

BF1 destruction was fine

[calm bison]

They removed it because it was stupid

[wide shore]

It’s not even debatable that BF1 destruction was some of, if not the best in the series.

[magic bloom]

I also Never played dlc maps so I’m excluding those

[eager spire]

The atmosphere and aesthetics of BF1 are fine. I have no problems with any of them.

[hexed mango]

but i think thats what makes it more interesting. the somewhat grounded but also Arcady-feel of the game

[eager spire]

My problems with BF1 lie entirely in it's gameplay.

[pine roost]

If the the point of the Cold War is that there wasn’t meant to be a war, why do so many people want a Cold War battlefield? What actually went down that would be a potential setting for bf

[hexed mango]

[tardy path]

honestly would've been down for tha6

[fluid portal]

My only problem with BF1 was the weapon grind

Fuckn loved that shit

[calm bison]

Like I said, let’s go with Vietnam, since a Cold War Battlefield is too broad

[tardy path]

Encourage you to have soldier's outside the tank to cover you while repairs are done

[eager spire]

i still feel like it could've been better in terms of gameplay while still being "grounded"

Most of that grounding is done by the aesthetics and atmosphere anyway.

[fluid portal]

Nah cuz youre missing out on shit like the bay of pigs then

[tardy path]

Vietnam is too specific though; That's just vietnam—Cold War has Cuban Missile crisis, Vietnam, Korea, China and more

[echo willow]

Is battlefield getting any cool Christmas Santa stuff like call of duty did.

[tardy path]

Which would give us more variety in teams

[calm bison]

Cuban missile crisis wasn’t an active combat zone that would work for battlefield

[echo willow]

MW2 had some cool Santa stuff

[wide shore]

Just look at what Black Ops 1 did. It had tons of Vietnam stuff but also stuff in Cuba, China, black ops stuff in Russia. There’s a lot they can do. It would bend history a bit, but considering how much stuff is redacted from those days. We can’t really say stuff “didn’t” happen.

[outer lintel]

@echo willow the last time dice teased a santa boris, the community laughed

personally, i don't want silly skins. this isnt fortnite

[calm bison]

If we were to set a Battlefield game during the many Cold War era wars here’s my list

1. Vietnam
2. Korea
3. Afghanistan (USSR)
4. Taiwan vs China
5. Filler

Yes

[echo willow]

I can’t believe the BF community cried over the Santa skin for BF kinda sad

[calm bison]

I would like to see Taiwan vs China

[magic bloom]

Def want Vietnam 2.0

[arctic grove]

bring back your average soldiers from older BF games

[pine roost]

I don’t know what black ops 1 did, but from what little I’ve seen from cod Cold War it mostly boiled down to the secret operations. I don’t know of any wars in that period that could work with battlefield

[fluid portal]

Or just do all of the above

[eager spire]

personally, I don't care about if there are silly skins in the game or not. If the skins are not worth using, i'm not gonna use 'em.

[arctic grove]

we don't want hero special ops

[outer lintel]

you'e not wrong

[calm bison]

Then you reach the problem of weapon overlap

[eager spire]

If i feel like fucking around and using silly ass skins to clown on people then that's my business.

[wide shore]

Plus, limiting the game specially to Vietnam would limit the weapon pool. Having it encompass all of the Cold War would give DICE an opportunity to have tons of weapons and factions.

[calm bison]

What happens when a war in the 50s has people using a gun from the 70s

[tardy path]

Give us some color customization for better camo and shit

[eager spire]

you get all of the Black Ops games.

[fluid portal]

Its a video game

[hearty flame]

May i introduce you to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Guningtou

[sharp marten]

It looks like they plan to do that with customization in the next bf

[outer lintel]

i'm just glad they got rid of the dumb quips at the end of the round.

[eager spire]

also it's a video game

[arctic grove]

that's a minus point for me

[calm bison]

People bitched about automatic weapons in BF1

[left badge]

its a video game

[arctic grove]

big bad bad

[sharp marten]

No it’s not lmao

[tardy path]

This is the 2042 battlefield channel, are you trolling or that delusional?

[arctic grove]

every single day

[fluid portal]

Thats cuz this community is a bunch of fucking nerds

[wide shore]

Well, Bay of Pigs invasion was a huge one in the original BO. But a lot of the original was Vietnam.

[arctic grove]

we stray further from what a bf game supposed to be

[outer lintel]

i don't believe you

[calm bison]

Have… have you been paying attention to the conversation?

[sharp marten]

To be able to customize your character in the next bf is a huge W

[wide shore]

Like I said. They’d have to bend history a bit. But it’s a video game. And the Cold War setting IMO is such a unique and interesting setting that bending history a bit for the sake of the setting alone is totally worth it.

[tardy path]

Yeah, and how you've constantly been pointed out as delusional

[outer lintel]

bf games are popular because they're not silly. chaos war simulation

[hearty flame]

if large conflicts in the cold war is such a concern then why not an alt history cold war where it goes hot

[arctic grove]

IDC about customization

[calm bison]

Are you referring to portal?

[left badge]

then why did so many people get pissed at the fact theres no c4 launching

[arctic grove]

I want the very minimal authentic design choice

[pine roost]

I just know so little about it to figure out what would work or not :/ No matter though

[sharp marten]

Good thing the world doesn’t revolve around you 💀🫵🏻

[fluid portal]

But its not war simulation. Arma, Squad, Hell let loose. Those are war simulation

[arctic grove]

good

[wide shore]

Battlefield is silly af

[tardy path]

c4 launching is a real thing in real life?

[arctic grove]

the game industry nowadays is a pile of crud

[eager spire]

Battlefield games are popular because they're not silly

Jumping out of a moving jet and rocket launching another jet before landing in the same jet that you jumped out of
Launching jeeps with C4

[magic bloom]

Well yes but it’s not useable afterwards just look at Russian tank turrets

[wide shore]

They had a damn driveable couch in hardline.
