battlefield-2042

[waxen arrow]

How do be so?

Portal question, when u update your portal server, how do u refresh the server with new content changes?

[hexed mango]

as in you changed something on the website?
you gotta restart the server, i.e. shut it down and start it again

[waxen arrow]

if i shut it down does everyone by Default unfollows & they have to refollow it? Just curious how the game works by shutting down servers

[hexed mango]

tbh im not sure how the follow system works, it might be experience-based, not server-based but im not certain.
people will definitely have to reconnect.

[waxen arrow]

ah:l darn

[vernal mesa]

Why are helicopters able to damage themselves with bombs but tanks don't damage themselves?

[next onyx]

Good question. Personally I'm not sure. In bf5 the sturmtiger and rocket tanks were the only tanks capable of doing it.

[waxen arrow]

Is there anyway to pause your xp booster I’m capped again & it’s little annoyin gaining a battle pass 3h xp booster just for it to go to waste 50min later over bein capped for select amount of playtime:/

Already lost one 3h xp booster entirely of its duration

[next onyx]

In game? No.
But it's timer will remained paused when you're not playing the game.

[outer lintel]

m.2 is life

[outer lintel]

its only active while in match. it pauses till you're in the next match

[tough flax]

Can you help me in #battlefield-legacy-titles

[hexed mango]

unfortunately no, it counts down while in a game, and cant be paused.

tbh not sure why they did that

[waxen arrow]

But the booster pointless to be active if I’m capped & the game auto activates it & can’t even be paused bein capped:(

[edgy oriole]

time to take a break

[waxen arrow]

ha, me already tried that last time:p cap only went away from playtime I’m pretty sure

[fallen pendant]

The fact that the players movements in-game is so choppy it makes it so hard to track them with my sights

It's so fucking bullshit

[waxen arrow]

haha, probably wouldn’t want me on the enemy team then when I be sliding with my pbx 45 spraying XD

[fallen pendant]

Like why can't 2042 just copy the fluent player movements from the previous game

[waxen arrow]

Personally like the 2042 movement compared to the older games, feels more comfortable

[fallen pendant]

You are just built different ig

[waxen arrow]

Ain’t wrong about dat chef

[idle lion]

im glad that script kiddie from earlier is gone

[waxen arrow]

Script kiddies?

[vernal mesa]

They're talking about someone that used scripts IG. Script kiddie means you copy code from someone else cause you don't know how to do it yourself 🤷‍♂️

[azure rampart]

Battlefield 5 felt good, but 2042s movement is really fun

Specially with Mackay

[fallen pendant]

Oh yeah when you sprint on a first person perspective the gun swaying is really off and snappy

[eager spire]

A lot of FPS games would be better if they had faster strafing speed.

the fact that a lot of games just make you move really slow while ADS is kind of cringe

[hexed mango]

Shutter Island was not a good movie to watch before bed

[eager spire]

Never seen it.

[hexed mango]

its good but super fucking trippy and scary

[eager spire]

I see.

[hexed mango]

its all a big mindfuck as well. crazy.

im enjoying it but its just one of those things that is creepy lol

[waxen arrow]

Was there actual plans for a flood event to happen on orbital? Was lookin at concept art & saw something about it

[upbeat sand]

Remember the bright light and breath take when getting revived in bf1 like you just got reccurected

[hexed mango]

i believe its already been implemented in-game, its on a lower section of the map and is mainly a visual effect, but it does happen during a storm

[upbeat sand]

Ooh I remember in the beta just spawn killing people who keep showing up int the water

[waxen arrow]

Realllyy, is there’s any gameplay:0

[hexed mango]

ill try to find a clip

[waxen arrow]

y in kaleidoscope when the tornado heads through it, it doesn’t destroy anything, like the building & leaving devastation everywhere ? It was shown in the trailer it would & it woulda been sooo cool Ingame!

[azure rampart]

Frostbite limitations if I had to guess

Probably tanked performance really bad

[eager spire]

imagine trying to run all of that with 128 players in a server.

[waxen arrow]

It would be incredibly awesome!!!

[eager spire]

yeah but it would run like ass

[hexed mango]

the only leveloution it has is a radio tower on top of one of the towers that can be destroyed and will fall off the edge of the building

[eager spire]

so that wouldn't really be awesome

[waxen arrow]

XD

[hexed mango]

yeah the performance was shown as an issue on orbital before idk like update 0.3 or smth, the rocket would explode into parts that were not fixed, i.e. it would be new each time. but it lagged the game so much

[waxen arrow]

Next gen in pc tho could definitely handle it if it can handle un5 Fortnite:p

[eager spire]

i mean you gotta design a game to run on many different specs, not just higher end ones.

And that seems like something that would only really work on higher end specs.

[waxen arrow]

a-

[azure rampart]

I feel like comparing different engines is a too common mistake

[eager spire]

yeah something like that

[waxen arrow]

True I suppose, maybe upgrading the engine might help?

[eager spire]

2042 is debatably running on an upgraded version of Frostbite. development was rushed though.

[upbeat sand]

didnt Tom say that the engine upgrade took a very long time because basically all the frostbite vets left the company and no one knew how to use i

t

[nocturne heron]

_> I'm having a 40+ revive streak and the game crashes.

I hate it here

[eager spire]

something like that

[waxen arrow]

Yuuup

[upbeat sand]

yeah the mass leaves defintely did a lot of damage to dice

and then Covid happened

making it even worst

[waxen arrow]

I feel ya, I get 50-60 kills in a match in my game dc from Internet

[upbeat sand]

easy anticheat

i hate it

easy is ass

id rather take an unupdated original version of bf4 punkbustr

actually even older

bad company 2 punkbustr

[eager spire]

i mean BF4 is playable now, not because of Punkbuster, but because of community run plugins like BF4DB and Battlefield Agency.

[waxen arrow]

Wdym ?

[upbeat sand]

easy anticheat thinks Discord and THX Audio software are cheats

and i will sometimes get randomly ejected from my game

[eager spire]

I've never had that issue with EAC

[hexed mango]

ea prevents applications from interfering with the game
aka it prevents things from outside of the game (besides mouse input) from having an effect on the game
whereas punk only checks in-game actions

i think neither are perfect, you need to combine both for it to work. but i think EAC is better than punk

[eager spire]

maybe it's cause i don't run the overlay

[upbeat sand]

EAC is an antimodder tool basically

[eager spire]

because the discord overlay is frankly terrible and i have 3 screens

[upbeat sand]

its not really anticheat

[upbeat sand]

dont got overlay

sometimes dont even have it on

[eager spire]

then i donno

it's weird

[hexed mango]

i mean its the same thing, cause it prevents cheats from accessing the game through memory

[eager spire]

i've just gotten lucky

[upbeat sand]

Epic games really need to work on the EAC problems

[waxen arrow]

Any able to explain y this great concept idea was scrapped? Mostly for the bottom
(Top is current map of hourglass)

[eager spire]

why, they have so many games using it already

[hexed mango]

ikr hourglass concept was so cool

[waxen arrow]

Heck ya ;3;

[hexed mango]

but it looks like the result in game just has the buildings at the bottom seen placed at the top and basically out of play

but that already looks 10x better

[upbeat sand]

rush probably

[eager spire]

donno, you can ask dice

[waxen arrow]

Woulda been a master peace on grounds x3

Wonderful qc capture zone coulda been top of that half constructed building:3 maybeee tho

[waxen arrow]

think they would answer:0

[hexed mango]

alex would but he isnt a map designer

[formal igloo]

Hourglass could’ve been amazing.

[hexed mango]

same goes for sam and wilde

[eager spire]

probably not

[upbeat sand]

usually concept art looks better than what we get

take sonic forces: the art and and concept showed land destoryed and abandoned then eggman ified

what did we get, nothin

[eager spire]

well i mean yeah, concept art is generally like that

[hexed mango]

i mean if you look at all the concept art for 2042, its all vastly different

[tall crypt]

Concept art isn’t a final idea, it never is the final idea

[eager spire]

i still find it very funny that in concept art, Sundance pretty blatantly has an anarchist pin on their hoodie.

[waxen arrow]

I know designing sand map for battles are kinda hardd but like ;3; u can’t make map a city sand map feel slightly barren, with massive city in the background in we fight in buried slums XD at least add somee tall buildings then 4, four cover in the north

[upbeat sand]

yeah basically every sand map they have made isnt the best

[eager spire]

Sinai Desert

[hexed mango]

and plus to this extent, concept art is just that, a concept, the artist doesnt have direct control over the gameplay and execution of the design

[upbeat sand]

I HATE SANI

[hexed mango]

i hate silk road

[waxen arrow]

How dare u >3> I have 300h of Silk Road 24/7 hosted server on Xbox - it’s the only map I play on bf4

[eager spire]

why

[waxen arrow]

Beautiful it is, running sniper with spawn beacon in fast smg assault gun<3 aw good times 2-4 years ago

[eager spire]

what's so appealing about that map

every time i see that map it just reminds me of Golmud but somehow worse

[waxen arrow]

XD

Anyone else think dice should do a similar thing how fo76 did with there battle pass in add extra rewards like xp milestones for boosters during the season after beating it with bf coins aswell added in

[eager spire]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[waxen arrow]

Like battle pass tier 125 u get a booster or 140 u get credits or 160 u get booster etc, I think cod does it

[idle lion]

whats the best attachment set for the AM40?

[upbeat sand]

id say
standard any
x1 holo
lazersight/ recoil while moving
idk barrel

[idle lion]

thanks

[hexed mango]

tier 125?

[waxen arrow]

Ya:3

[hexed mango]

oh is this not 2042 bp

[waxen arrow]

no lol as a idea

[hexed mango]

why tf would it be that long

[waxen arrow]

ha, I’m confused x3

[hexed mango]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[waxen arrow]

Psh, anyone feel like Kaleidoscope Feels empty for background ingame boundaries compared to art, like.. real empty

Map now very dence in detail & story but the background is ridiculously bland like my fries with no salt:(

feels rushed for the background:p

[hexed mango]

do you mean there's less background buildings ingame compared to the concept

[waxen arrow]

yaaa, in real life a city would be dense there to technically. Which kinda whyy I say feel rush

[hexed mango]

i mean not all cities irl are dense, https://www.webuildvalue.com/wp-content/uploads/Songdo-International-City-landscape.jpg <-- irl photo of songdo

[waxen arrow]

Link no work:0

[hexed mango]

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ae/11/a4/ae11a4b62d51118df88ea54d65e643ff.jpg

[errant scarab]

It doesn't matter if a 128 player war happens, the maps stay intact and shiny, it doesn't look like a war happened.

[hexed mango]

i mean most the reworks added some grit

[waxen arrow]

The irl place looks dence Still for background XD

[hexed mango]

and idk if this is just me. but manifest looks much better graphically

[hexed mango]

yeah no i was just saying that for reference, game def lacks some background buildings

[waxen arrow]

Lmao your ain’t wrong about dat

[hexed mango]

you're*

[errant scarab]

When destruction DLC?

[fiery solar]

Looks like a cinematic

[hexed mango]

merc did you just rejoin the server

[fiery solar]

Especially the sun set

Has it always been there?

[hexed mango]

sorta not really

[errant scarab]

Yes sirrr

[hexed mango]

its far improved with the rework, thats all

hope Breakaway is more like that

[arctic grove]

Super mario kart>BF2042

[errant scarab]

Sadly

[waxen arrow]

Dudee I love manifest even before the rework, only for the top zone & right side

It’s so beautiful lore wise aswell

[errant scarab]

I hate manifest i quit the game

[upbeat sand]

you mean PC on fire dlc

[formal igloo]

For hourglass, the sandstorm should go on for much longer, like it should take up the majority of the game.

[hexed mango]

wish the destruction in portal maps were present in the aow maps
i feel like the aow maps just dont have as many "things" that are the common destruction items (soft walls n shit)

[arctic grove]

Star fox 2 has better destruction than BF2042

[upbeat sand]

game does have destruction

[hexed mango]

i do like that spearhead has the destroyable panels tho

[upbeat sand]

still more than other games

[hexed mango]

nice to flush out campers

[errant scarab]

Wait... 2042 have destructions

[upbeat sand]

destruction*

[waxen arrow]

do y’all think 2042 didn’t have collapsing buildings cuz they didn’t know how to use the engine at start

[arctic grove]

[fiery solar]

Spearhead destruction just dhows we don’t care what it does we just want to see it. Because I only saw people destroying them at season 3 launch

[errant scarab]

2042 destroys the franchise and my heart

[formal igloo]

Kerbal space program has more destruction than 2042

[eager spire]

i think it doesn't have that because the devs didn't have the time to make that work properly

[waxen arrow]

Damn that’s coldd

And agreeable

[errant scarab]

Teacher?

[fiery solar]

Battlefields first game on the frostbite engine has more destruction than 2042

[formal igloo]

You can destroy buildings in KSP by crashing into them

[arctic grove]

Mfw metroid has better gunplay than bf2042

[idle lion]

the tops of buildings in spearhead should be barred off with invis walls

on BT

there is no fucking way to reach them as a defender

[errant scarab]

Bad company?

[upbeat sand]

the defence side should have siplines

[idle lion]

either THAT or invis walls

[formal igloo]

Or should be a stair system

[idle lion]

too hard to push up

[eager spire]

I donno if Ziplines would a good idea

[arctic grove]

Instead of getting bitches

[eager spire]

insanely predictable

[waxen arrow]

ah:p
Big bugger thing for 2042 for me is lack of b5 features in everyone probably has already said this before

[fiery solar]

Good group

[idle lion]

stairs are even more predictable

[arctic grove]

Why doesn't dice get a team switch option

[errant scarab]

Minecraft is better

[fiery solar]

Wasn’t there a switch team option in past games

[arctic grove]

Lifeboat

[upbeat sand]

because people abused it to join winning side in BF4 and it made imbalanced games

[eager spire]

yeah but at least you can potentially aim well while on stairs, meanwhile on a zipline you can't aim properly and you're moving in a constant speed.

[arctic grove]

Is solo/coop

[formal igloo]

Ziplines, elevators, stairs. Having multiple ways to get up increases flanking options, like the Vehicle assembly building in orbital

[eager spire]

Elevators are terrible.

[upbeat sand]

you grinding vehicles?

[arctic grove]

No?

I already maxed them out

[waxen arrow]

Psh idk what your takin about we would never, I would never 😏😏😏😏

[arctic grove]

I wanna play as one side rather than the other

Plus

SU-57>F-35

[upbeat sand]

its all for balance reasons

[formal igloo]

But having multiple ways to get up is a must.

[upbeat sand]

letting people join any team side will cause imbalances

[arctic grove]

I don't think it matters in a solo mode tho

[upbeat sand]

unless they implement a

Theres too many people on that side thing

[arctic grove]

I just want it in solo

Cause

I like participating in shenanigans

[upbeat sand]

?

[waxen arrow]

Is 2042 Xmas previous rewards coming back ? Like the pfp background 2021 stuff or is that limiteds

[eager spire]

I mean i appreciated that feature in BF1 when 90% of rounds would start with one team having more people than the other

for no good reason

[upbeat sand]

i think after the papa boris stuff anything related to stuff like that was canned

[formal igloo]

Good riddance

[waxen arrow]

What’s the hell is that XD

[upbeat sand]

cause people where going ITS NOT REALISTIC

[upbeat sand]

santa poris

[waxen arrow]

Oh that ;3;

[fiery solar]

You feel like your gonna lose until more soldiers come running up. It’s all for immersion.

[errant scarab]

I thought portal would be different, but it is full of HCC and farms xp zzzzzz

[eager spire]

well no literally the first action i take before the round even starts in that scenario is switch teams

[waxen arrow]

Me probs gonna say dumb thing but Only immersion is water physics in 2042 to guys running up

[upbeat sand]

but honestly having a soldier dressed in santa gear sounds like something the US millitary would do

[hexed mango]

i destroy the panels all the time to remove cover from defense

[eager spire]

because i'm not playing fucking 11v9 for no good reason

[fiery solar]

The immersion of being so defenseless you surrender

[formal igloo]

Still want to play as AI bot models Dice

[fiery solar]

It’s part of the plan

[eager spire]

BF1 is so immersive that i don't wanna play the game anymore.

[fiery solar]

[errant scarab]

@arctic grove who is your fav hero?

[eager spire]

It plays like ass because WW1 was terrible. big brain.

[hexed mango]

bf1 is so immersive that i wear a gas mask irl

[upbeat sand]

then suffocate from farting to recreate gas grenades

[hexed mango]

shave my mustache to fit my mask

[waxen arrow]

Damnnn my first ever portal map is popping off haha

[hexed mango]

ight i’m going to sleep

[fiery solar]

Being in Chicago Illinois and playing bf1 only adds to the immersion

[waxen arrow]

Sleep well darling x3 don’t get jumped

[hexed mango]

[errant scarab]

Why bfv still have more player with 3 years out of service

[upbeat sand]

detroit*

[upbeat sand]

its good

[fiery solar]

It’s time to log off for the year

[hexed mango]

can’t have shit in bf1 detroit

[errant scarab]

4/10

[hexed mango]

my brain already did this

[upbeat sand]

its personal tastes

[waxen arrow]

Hella good, don’t u remember XD it had more players then 2042 at launched hahaha

[fiery solar]

Damn it they took my whole team can’t even have a fair game I’m bf1

[upbeat sand]

just cause someone likes the game dosent mean your one single opinion should ruin the entire game

[fiery solar]

I disagree

I’m not reading all of that but I disagree

[waxen arrow]

[upbeat sand]

[errant scarab]

Is ok and incomplete

[upbeat sand]

anf fun

[errant scarab]

Totally out of context of what was ww2

[upbeat sand]

just because you yourself dont like it does not mean others will have the exact same opinions

some people like it

others dont

thats how it works for all games

it depends on what types of game you like

[errant scarab]

They had to do it as BF1 with the same immersion

[upbeat sand]

no game has EVER been a universal appeal

[idle lion]

i love how everyone just magically knows my location without me doing anything

[upbeat sand]

here have a smoke grenade

im batman

[idle lion]

they kill me through smokes

[fiery solar]

Next thing we need is a scope that can see through smoke

Or aspecialist that can do that

[errant scarab]

If you dont like it dont buy it

[fallen pendant]

They kill me through the new laser gun thingy

[upbeat sand]

and you brought it

who's fault is that

not mine

not dice

[fallen pendant]

And this might be off topic but holy shit what the fuck is that pfp

[upbeat sand]

you made your own choice with your own money

[errant scarab]

Yes i have 900 hours

[upbeat sand]

and that is completely fine

[fallen pendant]

I'm just not gonna question anything 💀

[upbeat sand]

im gonna say it again

[errant scarab]

Russian dlc and 2042 💀💀💀💀

[upbeat sand]

because you dont like it DOES NOT MEAN everyone else will not like it

[errant scarab]

But is incomplete

It's like 20% of what they promised

[upbeat sand]

BUT

is it fun to paly

do you enjoy the experience

[fiery solar]

What game is this argument for

[upbeat sand]

and the mechanics

[upbeat sand]

bfv

[errant scarab]

Incompletefield 5

[fiery solar]

What’s incomplete about it

[upbeat sand]

since you have 900 hours how much did you like the game

[fiery solar]

900 hours and you hate the game

[waxen arrow]

I have 5 years of playtime for Fortnite & I like it::3333

[upbeat sand]

you could argue "its incomplete" with really any game

you could say halo infinite is incomplete cuase forge is still in beta

Mafia definitive edition becuase no transport that you can ride in public

[errant scarab]

Battlefield V add many new mechanics .... The animations of the soldiers are crazy

[upbeat sand]

and ect

[fiery solar]

Soldier animations in bfv are amazing

Nothing beats that

[upbeat sand]

yeah

wish oscar would come back

but he's doing stuff at Embark now

[fiery solar]

No wonder their 2 games announced are incredible

And free

[upbeat sand]

Embark really like the 90s

like

too much

[waxen arrow]

no your so right, first run of halo infinite ever playing & my 2 missions on legendary broke, one for finding the weapon, after the scene I dd instantly XD

& at the underground place from the laser hole, the button wouldn’t work lmao,

[upbeat sand]

what in the parachute

you can i think

[errant scarab]

Prone

[upbeat sand]

that would probably cause balance difficulties

[fiery solar]

Wishing they still had crouch run it would actually be useful

[upbeat sand]

and we arnt playing Saving Ryan's Privates

that sounds like shovel ware on steam for 12 dollars

[waxen arrow]

Anyone else hate c5 in bf 2042 when u pull & u die it doesn’t go off but u pull it fully

I really hope they fix that, it’s a entire year & it’s still in the game

Bf4 it worked fine. U pull in die it goes off

[errant scarab]

Those C5 go far

[waxen arrow]

.

When does double xp go off today?

[broken horizon]

daily EoR Blackscreen fix reminder (can't queue for breakthrough sometimes as well)

[azure rampart]

Running Casper with movement sensors in the 128 mode is cash

[errant scarab]

.

[sharp marten]

Bro I totally forgot state of decay 3 is a thing

Well going to be

[waxen arrow]

Hope it’s massive

[sharp marten]

I saw a trailer on it on TT I’m like shit I forgot 3 is gonna be a thing

But it’s been in development for a minute

[waxen arrow]

Y that?

[azure rampart]

Spotting and assists

[waxen arrow]

a

[sharp marten]

Homie you are not wrong big STONKS with Caspy boi

[waxen arrow]

Anyone wanna host a server of mine & like- throw emps at each other & gets tons others in it - 128

[sharp marten]

I should be asleep rn sorry

[waxen arrow]

[sharp marten]

[waxen arrow]

Anyone know how to get ranger kills easily - 1200?

[sharp marten]

My guess is a solo match

[waxen arrow]

psh how do I get solo matches on series’s x with bots that give full mastery - last checked kinda impossible

[sharp marten]

Wdym by impossible

[grizzled whale]

You cant

You can use co-op til mastery 14, then you gotta get player kills untill 40

Though the ranger kinda levels itsself, just plop it down and forget about it

[sharp marten]

Ah I did not know that

[formal igloo]

Tomorrow

[waxen arrow]

Best map to do it ?

[grizzled whale]

Any

Do breaktrough so you have the most enemies in one place

[waxen arrow]

But for speed

[grizzled whale]

Any

Theres no fast method

Its gonna take a while

[grizzled whale]

Now thats pathetic

Play legit or dont play

[waxen arrow]

Psh can’t be, the sounds are wonderful asmr

[sharp marten]

I’m hungry

[grizzled whale]

Hi hungry im angel

[sharp marten]

You did not just..

Did you just fucking dad joke me

[waxen arrow]

[idle lion]

nocapsir is going 62 in 0

OCE is fucking filled with hackers

his movements are so unnatural

his aim snaps on people so hard that it fucking looks obvious without a first person view

what a garbage region

[azure rampart]

Okay

[idle lion]

i have never seen this many cheaters in such short period of time

[tough flax]

Move region

[idle lion]

buy me a not shit vpn and ill move

[tough flax]

Move country then 😂

[idle lion]

you are a clown

[tough flax]

Sure, but I can move for a game to get a better server, free world, go where you want and do what you want

Instead of complaining about it, do something about it

[idle lion]

little clown, instead of complaining so that dice takes action, you would rather blame the people who complain. how about you grow some balls and stop being a clown

[chilly jacinth]

stop being upset

[idle lion]

stop being compliant and ignorant to cheaters clown

[chilly jacinth]

im not sure how you came to that conclusion

[idle lion]

well clearly you dont like complaining about cheaters

cheaters who are being very obvious

[chilly jacinth]

report them and move on

there aint much else you can do

[tough flax]

Exactly

Either that or just don’t play the game

[idle lion]

clearly they take no action

[uncut bay]

even more reason for you to find something else to do

[tough flax]

Again, exactly ^^

[idle lion]

even more reason to actually complain to places where DICE devs are

how about you stop taking the inaction way out and decide to do something for once

not doing anything makes you compliant

[uncut bay]

i don't particularly care

the only thing you're achieving here is disrupting discussions

go to a forum at the very least

[tough flax]

Man just shush now 🤫

We know and guess what? No one cares

[idle lion]

the forums auto respond with a bot and then no one reads it again

[idle lion]

then you shouldnt play the game

[uncut bay]

tough shit, move on

why come here where there's even less chance of something happening

[idle lion]

you should all not play the game if you arent willing to take action

[tough flax]

That’s life, get on with it

[idle lion]

DICE devs actually read shit here, accidentally or not

[tough flax]

Go join their team then 😂

[chilly jacinth]

just because some Dice devs are here does not mean people will get banned by your complaining

[uncut bay]

and you think one dev is going to read your message and do something, considering the hundreds of tickets and reports they already receive daily

literally just go get a hobby

it's not that deep

[grizzled whale]

Honestly ive only seen 4 definite cheaters in my 600 hours of 2042

[idle lion]

cool, you are all so stupid that you have no fucking clue how to actually take action about anything

i hope you never end up having a problem at work

because youll never get anything done

[chilly jacinth]

your "actions" here wont result in your problem being solved

[uncut bay]

i hope you find something more important in your life than a video game

[chilly jacinth]

you're being silly

[uncut bay]

talking about reporting cheaters as if he's getting paid for it

[grizzled whale]

No need to be toxic

[still vault]

Sure, everything for you

[edgy oriole]

[wide shore]

That’s lit

And 100% what he wanted

Great job!

[gaunt summit]

good day, im just asking if someone knows how to fix the "GetDeviceRemovedReason" crash. also it only happens when im on foot, i can play tanks, jets or helicopters for hours but the second i get out my game crashes

[still vault]

Thanks 🙂

[pearl ridge]

Damn, talk about catering to vehicle mains

But seriously I dunno

[gaunt summit]

ok i found a fix, the drivers for the 4080 are so shit that the game crashes when you have terrain quality on ultra

i put it on high and the problem is gone

[pearl ridge]

What is it with stranded and just sucking

The entire map is exposed to high ground fire

And of course both regular and exodus conquest are running this fucking map

I am so sick of these goddamn tornadoes

[chilly jacinth]

just get on or in the boat

[royal trail]

is anyone else having issues accessing their games in ea app and origin?

[edgy oriole]

yeah EA app seems to be down atm

[royal trail]

aight, thanks

[slender isle]

Hey we have the same hatred

Don’t forget Helis have unlimited cover due to the high ground

And the sniper spam

And the camping tanks

[pearl ridge]

Self repair is way too strong

Honestly, it should be like Bf1’s system. No passive, you must stop what you’re doing

[slender isle]

I’d love for the “hold down this button to repair and it takes 10 second” to come back

[pearl ridge]

Why have Norshar Canals when we could’ve had Seine Crossing or something else not shit

I swear they only put in maps that are popular, ignoring why they were popular (i.e. being farmfests like fucking Metro)

I’m telling you, if we ever got BF1 maps they’d stick Fort Vaux or Argonne in there but ignore something actually good like St Quentin

Which is like the Battlefield map to me.

[slender isle]

Argonne is cracked out idk what to tell you

[pearl ridge]

Okay I swear to god the matchmaking in this game is intentionally designed to put you on the same map twice in a row

Fucking shit why do we not have actual servers

Ugh, I hate Rams so much.

Nothing that fast should have that much armour or firepower

Like, you finally nail it with a rocket and it immediately fucks off over the horizon

[errant scarab]

BF1>all

[pearl ridge]

BF1 used the primitive nature of its equipment for balancing.

Aside from certain outliers

No drones, no homing missiles, no bulletproof helicopters zipping about

Pretty much everything is a little bit shit and it’s so good.

[lilac dust]

I need more opinions than the one guy that replied yesterday..... What's better for AM40 - Drum mag or high power?

I'm really torn between them. It seems like the drum mag isn't worth the extra rounds because the TTK feels noticeably slower. Maybe I'm going crazy

[chilly jacinth]

no idea

last time i used the AM40 it sucked

[pearl ridge]

Huh, there’s a bot named A. York

[low timber]

You are unless it got changed in v3.0 or v3.1

[lilac dust]

So drum mag is the play then?

[low timber]

Has faster fire rate, more ammo and at least according to Sym.gg’s v2.2 stats the same velocity

[lilac dust]

Sold

[pearl ridge]

Fuck there really is no counter to some guy grappling into your tank

[arctic grove]

Yeah there isn't one

[pearl ridge]

Having control points on skyscraper roofs is really dumb.

If you don’t have a helicopter they’re impossible to breach, all they have to do is watch the lifts.

[last swift]

Maybe a second flor (which is included in the caption area) below the top flor could be a possible solution

Somehow I like control points on skyscaper roofs

[magic bloom]

Reminds me of Shanghai

Except if it really annoyed you just knock the building down

[proud comet]

Hi, gonna buy the game but I am a bit stuck on which edition to buy? Standard, Gold or Ultimate? I literally only want the game for the portal BF3 and BC2 modes, thanks.

[pearl ridge]

Shanghai in general’s just a bad map.

[frail sparrow]

the regrabbable throwing knifes fun factor is on par with ze lunge mine of bfv. agree or disagree?

[pearl ridge]

They can’t blow up tanks and throwing knives were already in V

[frail sparrow]

but they were onlygrabble from ze crates and stuff no?

i dont member they being as fun when their damage got nerfed and range got shortened

[magic bloom]

If your just getting it for portal buy the standard mode

Since when did mackay have serious voice lines wtf

[frail sparrow]

they severely cut down the goofy lines for specialists a while ago

[pearl ridge]

Enemy team would be winning if their fucking tanks left spawn

[magic bloom]

Skill issue

[frail sparrow]

standard. none of the content is really for portal. ultimate is a skin pack for 2042 content and some outside game stuff like soundtrack and artbook, gold is just some prepurchase of the season passes, but i dont know if that applies to future ones or just season 1, 2, 3 and 4 (in which case you missed the first 3)

but all ze season pass content you pay for is just cosmetics. all gameplay additions are free for every edition

[pearl ridge]

I finally get a spearhead match and it’s an unbalanced piece of shit

Why can’t I get one good game today

[magic bloom]

Tano why do you play if you seem to not like anything about the game

[pearl ridge]

Because I didn’t have to pay for this game and I was getting tired of the clanshitters on v

[arctic grove]

Ok Tano* now say 2 nice things

[mossy badge]

I am not tano

but two nice things are as follows
Lays
Coca cola

[arctic grove]

Ztruuue

[fallen pendant]

ngl the only way i can enjoy 2042 is playing the solo co-ops

[mossy badge]

That's cool you got your game mode

[fallen pendant]

well i now know why solo is made

[mossy badge]

For you

[tough flax]

Wrecked

[arctic grove]

solo co-op mode is great for practicing or just enjoying yourself for a bit

[frail sparrow]

and farming vault weapons

[arctic grove]

and to avoid toxic stuff in multiplayer

[magic bloom]

Or just farm mastery 12

[arctic grove]

I just prefer PvE coop

[next onyx]

I just use it for attachments.

And or to test out settings.

[fallen pendant]

I play solo for a reason...

[arctic grove]

work gave me a free day off today too lol, mayyy have to play some battlefield

[fallen pendant]

To just wreck some AI because I had enough of the dying bullshit

[arctic grove]

yep

[magic bloom]

I have a free day from school so I’ve got all the time to play today epic

[arctic grove]

if only dice never abandoned ai bots

from BC2 to 1

[fallen pendant]

BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY TO SURVIVE OR USE A STRATEGY THE ENEMY IS ALWAYS A STEP FORWARD

[edgy oriole]

man i wish i had my skill issue sticker rn

[fallen pendant]

Say shit to me all day I don't give a fuck

It's my own opinion and you can't do shit about it

[next onyx]

I feel your pain.

I used to be like that.

[dapper totem]

the best skill in battlefield is flanking

[magic bloom]

It literally just comes with time you’ll get there

I swear the Connor goat guy comes in so clutch on breakthrough bro drops like 100 revives a game

[arctic grove]

laughs in using radar beacon and constipating with mini radar

[willow sky]

ayo am40 vs k30

[magic bloom]

AM40

[remote meteor]

my game is constantly in aimed mpde and switches weapons with no input

[willow sky]

I haven't tried am40 until yesterday, and my god have i underestimated it

[magic bloom]

I Just Shot through my teammates head with the railgun and killed someone

[eager spire]

[quaint vector]

Mission Failed Sucessfully

[magic bloom]

Yes.

[low timber]

Few weeks ago I headshotted an enemy when I was shooting at an enemy hovercraft rotor

Not a passenger

[arctic grove]

didn't realise she was made to be a magician class operator

encountered the new sundance buff in game

[spiral folio]

All these characters with insane hair and beards

Launch some teargas

Or you know
Worse

[granite island]

I downloaded the trial so I can know what 128p is like

[spiral folio]

They dont do 128 all the time I dont think. Its hard to balance maps for it

[quaint vector]

Pure Chaos.!

Running Simulator also

[spiral folio]

Tank hunter + the secret new recon with active camo

[granite island]

I've been playing 64p for a long time

So I have no idea

[mossy badge]

Can't you call vehicle drop anywhere in the game 👀

[granite island]

And it crashed

[chilly jacinth]

you can call in shit wherever you want

[spiral folio]

You "can"
As long as they arent all active

[chilly jacinth]

but most people dont use that

[spiral folio]

If 5 people all summon jeeps and go solo. Theres 15 people that have to run

[quaint vector]

You can, but not all the time

[mossy badge]

you mean not??

[quaint vector]

Yup

Autocorrect..

[mossy badge]

I understand why otherwise everyone will just spam it

[mossy badge]

[quaint vector]

Vehiclefield 2042

[mossy badge]

In portal you can create that right

[spiral folio]

Theres like "helos only" servers

[mossy badge]

That's cool

[spiral folio]

Should be better now that they lowered the ceiling

[quaint vector]

RangerField 2042

Let only Rangers fight.!

[mossy badge]

Ranger isn't player controlled windows man

👀

It's like ai vs ai then

[quaint vector]

I know... That's why it can be more interesting..

RoboDoggo Fights.

[mossy badge]

player controlled ranger will be cool too

[quaint vector]

Ohhh yeah.!👀

[spiral folio]

Theyd probably make kt a recon just cause it makes no sense for recon

Cant let recon have a good specialist

Gotta give em no snipers

[granite island]

Oh god it feels so weird

[quaint vector]

Or, Let us ride Rangers...

[granite island]

I've been using the 2042 PS4 version for so long

That the ps5 version feels weird

[quaint vector]

PS5 version is the right one tho

PS4 is clunky

I played both, PS4 about 1K Hours before my PS5 finnaly arrived

[granite island]

Maybe I'm just not used to 60fps 2042

[quaint vector]

Yup

[granite island]

I've been playing 30fps for too long

[quaint vector]

Its much better on PS5

[uncut bay]

i'd cry if i was capped at 60, much more 30

[pearl ridge]

I managed to get both of the air vehicle kills with TGMs that I needed for Lis's card today.

Thank you, hovering, burning pilots.

[mossy badge]

You will need a bigger version of ranger that should look like horse

[spiral folio]

My idea is for a higher power ranger thats player controlled and give it a bipedal humanoid mode

But it gets no secondary or gadgets. Instead it gets like a LMG, the .50cal, or a grenade launcher.

Doesnt heal but can be repaired. has armor and moves slower than a player unless in dog mode

And just as a finger in the eye of recons itll be considered a recon specialist for no reason

I mean really itd be no classes

[next onyx]

I witnessed two friendly rangers gang up on a singular, alone enemy ranger and it reminded me of gang violence.

[granite island]

What is happening

[spiral folio]

Reminds me of like short circuit2 where "jonny 5" gets beaten the hell up and people cried foul cause it was gory

The directors like "guys... its a robot"

[granite island]

Idk what's happening

It feels like I'm playing battlefront 2

Because if any tell where I'm getting shot from

And there are bullets flying everywhere and explosions happening everywhere

[spiral folio]

Once you get used to the interface it gets easier

Also
Some guns have suppressors which makes it harder to tell where its coming from

[eager spire]

beep

[quiet shell]

Nah fuck you DICE this game sucks today, fix your shit

hit detection is complete wack, stuttering is a complete assfuck

[spiral folio]

Uh oh take a drink

Stuttering

Never seen it in 2042

[quiet shell]

No fuck you, DICE needs too nerf the Drum mag SFAR

Who the fuck had the bright idea of the SFAR drug mag being high power

Literally breaks the game

[spiral folio]

Does it

[rain blaze]

@quiet shell you ok man?

[spiral folio]

I mean id say the flying tank with 3 guns and unlimited ammo does more damage than an infantry rifle

[quiet shell]

I am not okay this game continues to be a half assed measure and I don't understand why I still play this

Like the manifest rework isn't even GOOD

IT FUCKING SUCKS

It doesn't fix any of the maps problems

[rain blaze]

Maybe take a break?

[spiral folio]

Hey have you seen this?
🚪

[quiet shell]

Actually the majority of the map reworks don't fix jack shit

[spiral folio]

I mean they do

[arctic grove]

These are some outlandish takes

[spiral folio]

But reality doesnt need to apply to rants

[quiet shell]

it doesn't fix the obscene map sizes, it doesn't fix the lack of destruction, it partially improves the flow and thats it

Congrats DICE you added sandbags, here's a cookie

[arctic grove]

Who gives a fuck about destruction

My goodness lol

[quiet shell]

I do

Thats one of the reasons I play battlefield

[spiral folio]

Manifests rework is a lot better

[arctic grove]

The map sizes are going to stay larger considering they were originally built to support 2x the average lobby size

[spiral folio]

Orbitals too

[arctic grove]

You have in world vehicles and the fuckin call in menu

Makes it a whole lot easier for ya

[quiet shell]

would be nice if Orbital was in the rotation but for some ungodly reason DICE keeps Hourglass in rotation more than Orbital

[spiral folio]

Strandeds rework from [null] to existing was good too

[eager spire]

They couldn’t fix Manifest because Manifest is not a good map as a whole.

[quiet shell]

See this guy gets it

[arctic grove]

Like I honestly feel like destruction is just quipped about anymore, never once thought about it remotely as much before this game came out

[spiral folio]

Manifest is ok it was pretty bad before

[eager spire]

It’s only marginally better.

[rain blaze]

I think they should have put some tunnels under the hill leading up to the middle. A bit like orbital

[spiral folio]

The maps are like 60%containers how much damage do you think youre gonna do

[next onyx]

Kaleidoscope and Manifest are the weakest remakes. While I appreciate what they did they're certainly... That.

[arctic grove]

I haven’t played much of the manifest rework but I just used to hate the crane snipers

[quiet shell]

In general they should've tightened up the map. We don't need this many fucking shipping container lanes

[spiral folio]

Yea i about didnt think they touched kaleidoscope

[quiet shell]

They touched like 40% of the map

[spiral folio]

Manifest added more cover which it needed badly

[arctic grove]

The reworks are best built for 64p and breakthrough

[spiral folio]

Yea cause conquest is old

If you play conquest thats your own fault

[next onyx]

Conquest isn't really that bad as long as you know what you are doing.

[quiet shell]

I feel like 2042's launch maps biggest issues are how much empty space there is. Hourglass, Manifest, and Breakaway being the biggest offenders

Like Manifest has all this open space full of assets that no ones fighting over

[spiral folio]

"Ok soldierrs... were gonna deploy you helterskelter all over this regional cluster fuck. Good luck taking most of it"

[next onyx]

As long as the map flows well conquest is fine.

[spiral folio]

BT is way better

[arctic grove]

I believe they’re the result of making overtly massive flanking routes

[spiral folio]

Got objectives and plays out like a war

[next onyx]

Breakthrough for who prefers a linear experience.

I like BT but conquest is nice to mess around on.

[arctic grove]

Ngl

Sometimes CQ feels stale and repetitive taking an objective just to be right back on it 3 minutes later, which is what I find appealing about BT

Once you take a sector you keep it and move on

Rainbow road>Renewal

No flying tanks to drop 3 guys onto an objective you just took

[spiral folio]

Conquest solo is good for vehicle kills

[quiet shell]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/618159959946952717/1054422163383406592/image.png

LOOK AT ALL THIS EMPTY SPACE

[spiral folio]

They need to really ding the transports

[quiet shell]

THAT'S JUST WASTED RESCOURCES DICE

[spiral folio]

Whay

.... discord dont cost much bruh

Im not gonna bother clickin links since im at work but

Im totally sure whatever it is totally matters

[arctic grove]

It’s just a picture of the manifest layout

[quiet shell]

It's a fuckin image link

[arctic grove]

There’s 3 spots that are void of any objectives

[spiral folio]

Have you seen a port?

[next onyx]

BT plays well at least.

[spiral folio]

Would you want a map the size of an actual port?

Like 10 miles long of flat tarmac

[arctic grove]

I don’t really care about the empty spots since considering they’re empty I’ll likely never be near them anyways

[pearl ridge]

Falck's syringe homing is pretty inconsistent. They could be standing still all highlighted and shit and it'd still miss.

[arctic grove]

But I guess it would cut down travel time if there were some placed in more areas so it doesn’t feel like it takes so long to get around

[pearl ridge]

I'd rather just toss medpacks.

[spiral folio]

A lot of "unused map space" is scenery for ambiance

[arctic grove]

That too

That’s why I’m not too entirely opposed to it

[quiet shell]

That's the point. No one will ever use that empty space so there's no point in DICE having it. They'd make their lives easier with this rework if they cut all that out

[arctic grove]

Just don’t have blank space between objectives, which that space isn’t anyways, it’s on the sides of the map

[spiral folio]

Like what do you want the playable area to extend all the way to some barely rendered wall?

Like 2004 style

[arctic grove]

Having to shoot someone twice with syringe and actually hit them makes playing Falck annoying

I’d rather just zone out and toss out a sentient medpack since mfs are always being shot

Flies to them

Healing teamates with Falco

Cring

[royal trail]

people camping with flanking specialists need to go

[arctic grove]

They probably will

In January

[spiral folio]

Whats a flanking specialist

[arctic grove]

Probably mackay and Sundance

[next onyx]

Zain ironically is Direct.

[royal trail]

a specialist which is meant to flank, its in the description. like sundance and mckay

[spiral folio]

So like... people who can get to better sniping spots

[quiet shell]

You know what Manifests layout partially reminds me of? Valparaiso and Arica Harbor. Except it does everything those two maps didn't do

[next onyx]

Assault as a whole is meant to flank and destroy.

[quiet shell]

For good reason too

[next onyx]

Though Dozer and Zain are the spearheads.

Mackay and Sundance get around.

[pearl ridge]

Assault will always be the anti-tank class to me.

[spiral folio]

It's stupid that the answer to "people are using these specialists in ways we didnt see coming" is nerfing them by restricting classes

[pearl ridge]

Hell, the mobility aids actually fit that role.

[arctic grove]

Also rolling back to an earlier statement. I’m not opposed to destruction in BF but I don’t think it’s a major issue for 2042s maps. It’s bad enough some of the cover assets are destructible, which just makes gameplay more annoying with more destruction than with what we’ve got

[pearl ridge]

Engineers are frankly redundant.

[next onyx]

Irish and Lis are the only relevant engineers.

[pearl ridge]

But instead they decided to combine Support and Medic?

[next onyx]

And Irish.

Oh boy oh boy.

He is amazing.

Lis is just rocket launcher.

[arctic grove]

Like, just cut down the travel times and add more cover assets. We don’t necessarily need to bring down entire buildings and shit especially due to engine limitations

[quiet shell]

I like how this is an issue DICE faced with previous battlefield games and solved it in battlefield 5 with the fortification system. And then the new DICE leadership came in and completely forgot that was a thing

[next onyx]

Irish will be made even better when he's a support.

[spiral folio]

Lis is a pretty good sniper hunter too

[pearl ridge]

BFV forcing medics to heal and revive and giving every Support a repair tool was a genuinely good idea.

But with 2042 I need to sacrifice all utility just to carry a damn repair tool that I never get to use.

[arctic grove]

I’m a little bit out of the loop, 10 hrs in BFV so all I really know is fortifications do make the maps conveniently better

[next onyx]

I'm glad those changes are coming in then Tano.

I like this compromise.

[spiral folio]

In bf1 i got so sick of people skipping revs i replaced the revive with a rifle grenade

[next onyx]

Though I always preferred bf5's support.

[quiet shell]

Fortifications were a way too prevent the insane level of destruction in BFV from turning the maps into empty wastelands

[pearl ridge]

In 1, I started treating revives as a way to get meat shields.

[quaint vector]

In BFV medics don't use smoke

Bam

[pearl ridge]

Get up and absorb more bullets for me

[quaint vector]

[arctic grove]

Ah yeah I see what you mean

[next onyx]

I don't care about revives.

[spiral folio]

Bf5 went overboard with sniper nerfs so i think i generally played assault

[next onyx]

I just care about my squad.

What sniper nerfs.

Bf5 recon was the same from the start to end.

[spiral folio]

The glare and trails were real bad. And the damage was like 30% less than bf1

[quaint vector]

*Sniper Rifles wefe buffed BTW in BFV

[pearl ridge]

I think it's just the extended combat ranges making recons more vulnerable to literally everything

[spiral folio]

So yea recon was the same as start, awful

[pearl ridge]

And 2042 extended it again

[next onyx]

They improved the damage in one the patches and general velocity actually.

[quaint vector]

Yup

[next onyx]

They just did sniper things.

[spiral folio]

I mean nerfs from bf1 to bf5

[pearl ridge]

Some dude can just slap a high-power magazine into his AR and start capping snipers

[granite island]

The spotting XP go crazy

[spiral folio]

Like body hit bf1 is like 90
Bf5 its 60

"Its still 2" but it makes a difference

[next onyx]

No sweet spot?

[pearl ridge]

BF1's bodyshot damage was dependent on the sweetspot, remember.

[quaint vector]

BF1 used sweetspot

[spiral folio]

The sweet spot stuff was stupid

[pearl ridge]

And that's the way I like it. Stick to your optimal ranges.

[next onyx]

Bf5 sniper damage was balanced in regards to health attrition which was total bullshit as a mechanic.

[spiral folio]

Like... bullet reaches a magical distance and gets bigger or something? XD

[pearl ridge]

BF1, more than any other game, rewards positioning.

[quiet shell]

Bit of a side note but I like how Zampella tried to damage control the previous DICE leaderships creative decisions by saying "They weren't bad, but they weren't fully realized" Like no they were pretty bad. Former DICE devs have even anonymously said many of the leadership decisions would make even fresh developers raise an eyebrow

[pearl ridge]

Nah, it's more like bullets will continue accelerating for a short while before decelerating due to drag.

[spiral folio]

Crazy idea. Have damage based on ballistic energy?

[next onyx]

That'd be annoying to balance.

What standard do you set.

[spiral folio]

Joules?

[next onyx]

I mean the conversion.

[arctic grove]

Damn

[spiral folio]

Itd only get messy when you get to like penetration

[next onyx]

Does 660 MS mean 28 damage and anything under it based on calibre change the damage, and at that point what is the point because it may as well not be a thing.

[pearl ridge]

BF1's weapons actually had niches and shit. Definitely way better than 4, where most of them might as well have been cosmetics.

[spiral folio]

Cause like 9mm FMJ will overpenetrate byt 5.7 is lighter but delivers more energy to a target

[silk surge]

Dozer is pretty good in Rush

[next onyx]

I'm just glad 95% of the support LMG's were decent on bf5.

[lavish adder]

guys u think we ever gonna get an animation rework for some guns

[pearl ridge]

There's only so much you can do with a 5.56 assault rifle with a thirty round magazine and 600-800 rpm

[next onyx]

Everything except the type 97. And we don't speak about that mess of a gun.

[pearl ridge]

The type 97 was literally just a worse Bren

[quiet shell]

No lmao, that would require so much extra work

[silk surge]

Besides, the weapon animations are passable as they are.

[next onyx]

540 RPM it's more comparable to the Lewis gun.

[pearl ridge]

And that's how it was irl

[next onyx]

And it was straight up an inferior Lewis gun.

[pearl ridge]

Same base, worse engineering.

[quiet shell]

Well that's just generous

[next onyx]

The m16a3's animation got updated.

[pearl ridge]

Heavy bitch of a thing, too.

[lavish adder]

shame some of the portal guns have such awful animation work and recoil systems

[next onyx]

Feels chunky.

[spiral folio]

In cod2 the bren did the same damage as a sniper rifle it was pretty op

Cause same round same velocity

[pearl ridge]

Yeah I noticed the M16 reloads 2042 style rather than BF3 style

[next onyx]

They've updated its well... Chonk?

That's how I can describe it.

When the mag clicks in.

When you get the mag out.

[pearl ridge]

I liked the Type 11 though.

[next onyx]

It's so weighty and it looks and feels gooooood.

[quiet shell]

Most of the reload animations are a mix of motion capture and hand animation and there's a small amount of wiggle room for hand animation before you really start messing with the motion capture

[pearl ridge]

Its top-off reload should not have been a specialisation.

[next onyx]

I got 20K for my Bren safe to say I was an average bren enjoyer.

[pearl ridge]

It would've been standard if it was in 1...

[arctic grove]

Would be nice honestly. I don’t know what they did starting with BF1 but that shit was beautiful

[next onyx]

I was thinking of what makes gun reloads gun reloads, Kyla.

Really it's the weight detatching the mag as your character feels it.

[arctic grove]

Like I don’t mean reload anims but just the animations in general when looking around and running

[pearl ridge]

Sound design is a big part of it.

BF1's weapons are so metallic

[next onyx]

I was watching this review for this low effort steam game and the reloads seemed so jank, So still.

[spiral folio]

One thing that annoys me with reloading.

Like if I interrupt Lis reloading the rocket. It restarts where I left off.

If i interrupt a bolt rifle even at 99% done operating the bolt. It redoes the bolt entirely

[pearl ridge]

They actually feel like contraptions.

[next onyx]

And then since then I questioned how it was done.

Recently I found that answer.

[arctic grove]

Yeah they do sound pretty metallic in BF1, I kinda like it though

It’s somewhat satisfying sounding

[next onyx]

I loved how quick the Bf5's Bren reload was.

It wasn't wasted time I could believe the animation in the context of the game.

[pearl ridge]

They feel like these wild things that need to be tamed.

Which really fits janky prototype weaponry.

Also, they recorded sounds straight from the actual guns.

I can recognise the Lee-Enfield's bolt being cycled anywhere

[quiet shell]

An issue I have with 2042's guns and their reloads is the inconsistency. On some guns you can start firing the moment the magazine is inserted with saves on precious miliseconds when it counts. But then on other guns you have to wait for your character to put the magazine away and grab the barrel again before you can shoot

[next onyx]

Hardlines guns were clonk.

[spiral folio]

A lot of the weapons in bf1 barely existed so they just had to make a good guess with some of em

[next onyx]

The AKM with a simple partial reload but pulling back the charging handle just felt chonk.

[spiral folio]

I heard they used soldiers letters describing some of the stuff to replicate the sounds

One was like mentioning the breach on an artillery screeched like stepping on a cat

[quiet shell]

I wasn't a fan of DICE pulling in prototypes that never saw combat.

[spiral folio]

It's more like a fantasy war from 1918 to 1920

[quiet shell]

This is why I still demand DICE jumps the gun and gives us a steampunk battlefield game

[spiral folio]

There's 1 known 08/18 smg in a russian museum

[pearl ridge]

Given that it's a tiny maxim, it really should've stayed as, well, a tiny maxim

It was like that when it first came out.

Slow and steady.

Then they did a 180.

[spiral folio]

I liked the first one yeah

[pearl ridge]

Made it a stupid bullet hose.

[quiet shell]

And they're not even sure it's the real thing

[next onyx]

I love that dice added prototypes. I would of loved to see the g11 in bf4.

[spiral folio]

I used it when it was a slower one but they made it a long capacity spray and pray gun

[next onyx]

HK's solution to the next generation weapon program.

[spiral folio]

Now can we get a caseless round 50cal semi auto sniper

No shell ejection just pop pop pop

[pearl ridge]

It's funny how the only Russian gun in 2042 that isn't a fucking AK is a basically non-existent bullpup.

[arctic grove]

no update notes yet?

[pearl ridge]

Seriously they made one halfway decent design in nineteen-forty-fucking-seven and they just stuck to it for the rest of time.

[quiet shell]

That's Alex for you

He will have his bullpups whether we like it or not

[pearl ridge]

Regular AK, Big AK, Little AK, Sniper AK, Silent AK

[next onyx]

Alex our beloved.

:D

[pearl ridge]

I love bullpups.

Just wish I had one that wasn't fucking Russian

[spiral folio]

Its hardly russian

[pearl ridge]

Where's my AUG dice

[spiral folio]

They just say it is

[quiet shell]

He will someday achieve a Battlefield game that has only bullpups

[spiral folio]

You could rewrite the little lore paragraph to any nation on the AC42. There's nothing russian about the design though

It looks like a weird alteration of the keltec bullpup

[heavy heron]

hi , i got the ultimate upgrade how did you claim the digital art book and soundtrack on xbox ?

[pearl ridge]

I'm pretty sure the thing's in Rainbow 6

[quiet shell]

I've actually looked around for potential inspirations for the AC-42 and it's possible DICE pulled from a 1997 prototype of the Ukrainian Malyuk rifle that looked insanely similar

[pearl ridge]

The Malyuk, the only AK I actually like.

God, that thing is nice.

[lilac dust]

https://twitter.com/FirstDescendant/status/1604779825087975426 Lmao ... I actually thought this was a 2042 event FAQ post 🤣

At first glance it looks like 2042

[spiral folio]

Theres similar design qeues i guess yea

[pearl ridge]

The description of the AK-12 claiming that it's super reliable doesn't exactly hold water nowadays

[next onyx]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/media/ultimate-edition-benefits

[pearl ridge]

Given that the damn things are apparently less reliable than clapped-out old AKMs

[quiet shell]

Every video or picture of it I've seen captured or recovered in combat that damn safety lever looks like it completely screwed over the previous owner

[pearl ridge]

Hell, AKs were never particularly reliable to begin with. They're just easy to fix when they inevitably break.

[quiet shell]

I personally disagree, given the variety of environments it's been found in use does seem to back up that it's a reliable rifle

[pearl ridge]

Not anymore than any other modern service rifle

Aside from the original L85s.

[quiet shell]

If your rifle can be found in use in the middle east, africa, europe, south america, south east asia, central asia, and near the arctic circle, it's gonna be insanely reliable

[pearl ridge]

Which just broke if you breathed on them too hard

I do like the L85 in BF4 though. Very nice feeling rifle.

[quiet shell]

pretty sure DICE had to nerf that rifle

[pearl ridge]

Honestly I just like anything that isn't an AK or AR

Which is a frighteningly small demographic of rifles these days...

[spiral folio]

So you like no guns

[pearl ridge]

The AR-15 and its consequences--

[spiral folio]

It's a fairly reliable layout so it got replicated a lot

[pearl ridge]

Seriously, look at the roster in this game. M5? AR-15. M-16? The AR-15. 416? Slightly fancier AR-15 with some internal bullshit I don't know. DM7? Actually, I think that's an AR-10 but really they look the same

Where's the diversity

[spiral folio]

The 416 is even just a piston operated AR setup even

Instead of a gas tube

[quiet shell]

How would you guys rank the 2042 maps?

My personally is
Exposure
Spearhead
Orbital
Stranded
Renewal
Kaleidoscope
Manifest
Breakaway
Hourglass

[pearl ridge]

Seems about right, but I'd put Renewal over Stranded

[ebon pilot]

railgun

[spiral folio]

I swear they just flipped a coin on "who invented this" on some of the rifles to give russia a few

[pearl ridge]

Russia shouldn't even exist in 2042's world

[next onyx]

M416 my beloved.

[spiral folio]

They'll certainly run out of ancient tanks by 2042

[quiet shell]

Too be fair to DICE, 2042 was made when everyone still believed Russia to be a sleeping bear and not a paper tiger with doubts of surviving past the 2020s

[pearl ridge]

Fucking Europe collapsed, how the hell are these idiots still alive and able to actually fight the Americans for the third time in a row?

[next onyx]

The MCX SPEAR and M416 are the best modern day NATO rifles.

[low timber]

Are you cheating on your Scar?

[next onyx]

haha.

I'm just speaking about reality. I know the SCAR H isn't popular and the L is more so.

[pearl ridge]

I'm pissed that the Sig rifle won the NGSW contest

[quiet shell]

Why?

[next onyx]

The MCX Spear is amazing.

[pearl ridge]

It's literally the worst performing of the three entries, they only picked it because it's a fucking AR-15

[next onyx]

And why do you think they did that.

[quiet shell]

No it was the only one that made it to trials. the others dropped out before trials could seriously begin

[pearl ridge]

It doesn't actually do anything new, it just fires a slightly bigger bullet.

[next onyx]

The actual mechanism itself is not uh... Bloated.

[spiral folio]

Even the m5 isnt reaaally far removed from an AR

[pearl ridge]

At least give it those fancy new polymer cartridges, fuck

[next onyx]

It's very easy to get your head around.

[pearl ridge]

Brass apparently doesn't handle the pressures very well

[next onyx]

Plus you want to balance fire power and recoil. Which 6.8 does perfectly.

[quiet shell]

They did, Winchester won the contract to produce the ammunition

[spiral folio]

If you have a massive failure in an AR. You can field strip it in seconds

Pop the back pin. Open it up

[next onyx]

6.8 only kicks slightly harder and has a bit better power behind it doesn't it, To penetrate enemy armour yes?

That's really the whole reason why you'd go to a new calibre.

[quiet shell]

It's also not like the US Military is getting the MCX Spear right off the bat. It's currently going through field and environment trials for improvements before it enters service

[spiral folio]

556 has issues at long range

[next onyx]

I remember looking at the MP7A2 and not understanding why until that.

[pearl ridge]

Penetrate the armour that the enemy never actually built because they pissed away their supplies.

[next onyx]

Yeah though they're looking into the XM250 which fires the same round, Kyla.

[spiral folio]

A heavier round will deliver more lower longer range

Where a light supersonic round has tons of drag

[next onyx]

Which is a big boy.

[heavy heron]

Thank you very much, God bless you

[next onyx]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2e/SIG_Sauer_XM250.png/2560px-SIG_Sauer_XM250.png

[mental delta]

Yeah it's amazingly ugly af

[quiet shell]

That's apparently entering service much sooner since there was literally nothing wrong with it upon trialing and testing lmao

[pearl ridge]

The 5.56 round relies on velocity to do damage.
(Adopts tiny little M4 as mainline rifle)
"Why is the 5.56 not working"

Like goddamn if you want compactness and power, get a fucking bullpup already.

[magic bloom]

Bullpups are dogshit

[spiral folio]

Incidentally its also what makes 5.7 better for cqc because 5.7 will pierce armor and has very low recoil, but it wont penetrate too much like 9mm

[next onyx]

They're looking at converting the m240 to .277 huh.

[quiet shell]

5.56 and it's varients also have a problem with in-between. 5.56 M855 and M856 both suffer from failing to defeat body armor while 5.56 M995 is too good at it and risks overpenetration.

[pearl ridge]

TFW the .277 is basically what the British was offering as the standard NATO calibre back in the Cold War before the yanks foisted 5.56 on everyone

[quiet shell]

Nah last I checked it's staying at 7.62x51 for the foreseeable future. It's next likely iteration is ontop of MRAPS

[mental delta]

France has bullpup rifle since 80's and was trying to get rid of it for 20 at least 15 years lol

[next onyx]

Yeah m240 B and L specifically.

[pearl ridge]

I'm Australian. We just built better bullpups.

[spiral folio]

0.277mm

[next onyx]

Apparently France is looking into the m416.

[quiet shell]

the AUG came from Austria

[mental delta]

HK416 and we already got some since 2017 yes

[pearl ridge]

At this point, the most modern variants of the AUG are all Australian.

Our engineers, our factories.

They even made the trigger smooth.

[quiet shell]

M416 converted to 6.8 since that's going to be the new NATO standard

[pearl ridge]

Which is something that anti-bullpuppers keep bitching about

[magic bloom]

The Israelis did bull pups the best

[pearl ridge]

The Tavor is very nice. Just not a fan of the stubby little prototype used in 4.

Need to have some length in there.

[mental delta]

MTAR-21 ?

[quiet shell]

I hear the UK might be looking into taking General Dynamics 6.8 rifle that lost to SIG

[magic bloom]

Yes

[next onyx]

Australia is set to use the SIG MCX in .300 blackout.
