battlefield-2042

[royal swan]

And its very disappointing

[placid parrot]

Thoughts on a idea of a new map taking place in a quarry?

[azure rampart]

I want more cqc

[eager spire]

why did you post it, delete it, and then post it again

[placid parrot]

Thought no one saw it.

[eager spire]

do you think people have monitors the size of postage stamps

[royal swan]

I would like a stop in battlefield and a bring back of battlefront and pvzGW

[eager spire]

of course people saw it

[royal swan]

I did but I don't care as much

[upbeat sand]

Giving Crawford the inside job skin then the new bastion Crawford skin makes him the crappy terminator

[placid parrot]

A quarry map could be more CQC and Air vehicle focused.

[royal swan]

It's going to be infantry focused take it or leave it

[placid parrot]

A quarry map?

[arctic grove]

Yeah

[royal swan]

The season 4 map has been getting images and it's going for the infantry focused route again

[eager spire]

the fact that they make infantry focused maps while also making 128 player modes like Rush XL is weird to me

like do they think infantry only 128 players is fun

[royal swan]

Yeah

[eager spire]

because i'll tell you right now it isn't

[royal swan]

People liked it

[eager spire]

Those people need help.

[placid parrot]

Isn’t infantry focused maps good though?

[royal swan]

You didn't but they don't care

People love it

[eager spire]

again they need help

[arctic grove]

No they don't

[royal swan]

No

Different playstyle baby, get used to it,

[eager spire]

yeah stuffing too many players onto maps made for smaller player counts is a different playstyle.

[placid parrot]

Season 4 Map will be the new operation locker.

[arctic grove]

How do you know?

128 player Locker

[placid parrot]

From the look of the images.

[royal swan]

You mean the same maps that we deemed too big and large

The walking simulator

I think 128 players are fine on those maps

[eager spire]

Aren't the rush layouts cut down, though? and that's not even talking about the Portal maps that were never designed for 128 players.

[royal swan]

Overall people love them

[placid parrot]

128 isn’t bad for me, in my opinion. What would be more ridiculous is 300+ players.

[eager spire]

I donno call me a purist but i can't really stand anything above 32 players. more than that and it just starts to become blatantly unreadable for me.

[royal swan]

So play tdm

[placid parrot]

Experimenting with new ideas isn’t bad if done right.

[royal swan]

Some people don't like the close combat maps and team sizes

We like big far combat sometimes

[eager spire]

honestly i wouldn't mind if TDM wasn't in the game at all, just replace it with Domination.

[royal swan]

Many players

[placid parrot]

Battlefield is known for CQC maps though.

[eager spire]

yeah most of BF's recent iconic maps are CQC oriented. Looking at you Metro.

overrated piece of shit map.

[arctic grove]

The chaos is metro is fun

[eager spire]

eh

[placid parrot]

Same with Operation Locker and that Fort map in BF1.

[eager spire]

I don't like getting up to B flag and then being like WELP I LITERALLY CANNOT PLAY THE GAME ANYMORE

[royal swan]

I can't see battlefield being a close combat focused game, yeah it can have it but it also needs that open, large, far combat

[arctic grove]

Exactly

[eager spire]

I can. It certainly has the mechanics for it to be good in that scale.

Except for the SMG nerf. that's not good for it.

[royal swan]

You just take the field out of battlefield

[azure rampart]

It's still a field

[eager spire]

Good. frankly, i'm a bit tired of fucking fields.

[azure rampart]

Lmao?

[royal swan]

I'm saying that making a close combat focused battlefield like cod (didn't mention) would be taking the field out of battlefield

[azure rampart]

No it wouldn't

[royal swan]

It would

[placid parrot]

Not really.

[eager spire]

I mean considering CoD is sucking shit at the minute would that be a bad idea?

[royal swan]

It would give battlefield more shit

As in a shit ton of controversy

[placid parrot]

CoD ended after BO2 released.

[eager spire]

what would be controversial about that

[azure rampart]

Cqc never gave any controversy to battlefield lmao

[eager spire]

also what gravina said

[royal swan]

You going the opposite of what I'm saying lmao

[eager spire]

i am reading exactly what you're saying and responding to it as i see it, if you're meaning something else then you're not communicating that properly.

[placid parrot]

What would be more controversial is DICE adding a UCAV Specialist in Battlefield 2042.

[royal swan]

Forget it, battlefield being a cod game will piss off the battlefield community that love the open maps and calmer playstyle

[azure rampart]

Liss:

[eager spire]

the same battlefield community that loves metro so much it's been ported to 2 other games and they want it to be ported to this one?

[placid parrot]

Lis kinda counts except for not taking multiple enemies out with the Valkyrie Launcher from CoD BO1.

[azure rampart]

Lis is annoying if you are in a vehicle

[royal swan]

Ain't metro still larger than most cod maps

[next onyx]

Yes.

[azure rampart]

It's a cqc map

[eager spire]

i still think Lis would've been balanced better if she had like a SRAW from BF4 instead of a TV missile

[azure rampart]

There's always the same chokepoint on b

[royal swan]

But not cod cqc

[eager spire]

yes it is, it's probably the size of a ground war map in MW19

which people liked

[azure rampart]

We never said we wanted to make battlefield to cod

[eager spire]

also that

[azure rampart]

I don't know where that narrative comes from

[royal swan]

Idk about that but that's what I been reading off of yall

[next onyx]

Battlefield plays like COD (Fast) and COD plays battlefield. (Slow)

Personally I don't give a shit.

[eager spire]

CoD also sucks shit at the moment

[azure rampart]

Man I just want to play ong

[royal swan]

Then play

[placid parrot]

BF2042 has it’s problems but still a decently fun game, in my opinion.

[azure rampart]

2042 has reedemed itself

[eager spire]

so i think it would be a good thing if Battlefield just decided to have a bunch of CQC maps as well as dedicated smaller scale playlists for people that like that kind of gameplay, because right now you only really get that in TDM or portal.

[royal swan]

Not completely

[eager spire]

2042 is approaching the level of acceptable. But it's not there yet.

[azure rampart]

Though please for fuck sake balance the transport helis I swear to god

[royal swan]

Still waiting on that class system

[eager spire]

The recoil bug still hasn't been fixed.

Mouse input is still fucked.

weapon balance in a lot of respects is still bad.

[arctic grove]

Maybe after classes are introduced, it'd be on a proper level

[eager spire]

vehicle balance is still bad.

[placid parrot]

@royal swan Class Rework is coming in January.

[royal swan]

I seen the recoil bug on others but not myself

Never cared to notice the mouse input despite my 400 hours of PC battlefield 2042

[royal swan]

Yep

[azure rampart]

I don't understand why defenders don't get a wildcat consistently in breakthrough

[placid parrot]

Irish and Crawford is switching roles.

[azure rampart]

It's so annoying to have to worry about a VTOL or hind

[eager spire]

The squad menu doesn't actually function as a squad menu for no good reason.

[magic bloom]

It seems reasonable especially on some maps

[azure rampart]

And if they are good pilots then good luck

[royal swan]

Playing transport on breakthrough is so easy

[magic bloom]

I need to get better at the wildcat

[azure rampart]

I'm amazed people still fall for the lock on but never fire technique

[waxen arrow]

Why are all the PBX-45 skins broken for the mag except for Taiga?? It’s been odd question on my mind

[royal swan]

Fun tip, don't stay still as air transport, your offensive capabilities are dogshit and your best on flying over the objective having people drop out

[upbeat sand]

Does the bastion skin make crawford's mouth those big ass braces and less movable or something

[eager spire]

good question

i don't have an answer but that's a good question.

[azure rampart]

Probably has to do with a specific mag

[eager spire]

it's probably one of those things that got past QA because they don't seem to care.

[placid parrot]

Season 4 Specialist will be a Engineer. Crawford will now be a Engineer and Irish will now be a Support.

[magic bloom]

I think it is the specific mag

[next onyx]

Question in what way?

The last specialist will be a recon it's been confirmed.

[azure rampart]

Casper is still goated

[royal swan]

Casper is B tier

[upbeat sand]

New specialist is Recon

[azure rampart]

Already have like 10 masteries on him

[eager spire]

medpen + armor mackay will have some words with you

[upbeat sand]

The S4 is gonna be recon

[royal swan]

No A tier

Casper is A

[placid parrot]

Did they confirm it?

[upbeat sand]

Crawford and Irish are just swapping places

[upbeat sand]

Yeah

[magic bloom]

I literally said this hours ago and you didn’t believe me.

[royal swan]

Buffing Irish tbh

[magic bloom]

Damn I love being right

[royal swan]

Straight S tier with irish

[placid parrot]

Guess they change the role from the leaks.

[upbeat sand]

The final add up is gonna be
4 assault
3 engine
4 recon
3 support

[upbeat sand]

Oh either they are scrapped or never real

[magic bloom]

I mean honestly Crawford needed the switch he doesn’t fit in with the supports

[waxen arrow]

so true

[azure rampart]

Yeah it is weird

[placid parrot]

They should add at least one more Engineer and one more support to even each class out.

[royal swan]

Seeing more irish tank users

[magic bloom]

That’s the most annoying shit

[upbeat sand]

Yeah they said no more specialists after S4

[placid parrot]

Damn.

[eager spire]

when the tanks still don't have APS so you just put your own APS on

[magic bloom]

Aren’t they adding APS to tanks

[upbeat sand]

You know how imbalanced other games with a hero style mechanic end up being when they add soo many

[eager spire]

yes but they haven't done that yet

[royal swan]

And when they do get their APS, Irish tank users will be the biggest vehicle campers

[eager spire]

we've over a year into this game's life, by the way

[upbeat sand]

Apex is imbalanced
Overwatch imbalanced
Valorant is a little imbalanced

[eager spire]

just

letting you know

[upbeat sand]

Not adding more specialists let them take more time worrying about the current balances then future ones

[azure rampart]

I just use HE

Funni

[royal swan]

This guy uses he

[magic bloom]

lemme laugh even harder

[azure rampart]

Hey as long as it works

[waxen arrow]

Wait who’s “he” XD

[magic bloom]

Yes but mpat shells

[placid parrot]

Crye Six-12, PKP Pecheng, MGA Saw K, and TTS XCEED were four weapons that were supposed to be in the launch of BF42 in some leaks but never happened.

[royal swan]

HE shells

[magic bloom]

[royal swan]

The shells that no one uses because it's shit

[upbeat sand]

Imagine using shells

[magic bloom]

All they do is scratch the enemy tanks paint

[upbeat sand]

Heavy machine gun is fine by me

[eager spire]

i typically use they/them but more power to you for just using one pronoun. :V

[azure rampart]

I mean it's HE not HEAT

If I want to tank hunt I use the railtank lol

[magic bloom]

Hit’em with the ap rounds and LCMG with ammo box

[tawny crane]

hi

[magic bloom]

Hi

[eager spire]

the six-12 is the masterkey in this game and the PKP is already in the game

[royal swan]

Good bye

[tawny crane]

someone is up to play ?

[magic bloom]

The master key is so funny when it actually works

[azure rampart]

Too bad shotguns suck in this game

[magic bloom]

The new one is epic tf you mean

[eager spire]

the masterkey is one of the reasons that i think the plus system creates balance problems.

[royal swan]

They gotta suck

[placid parrot]

TTS XCEED and MGA Saw K isn’t though. They’ll probably add these two weapons in a future season.

[eager spire]

i mean, the masterkey can literally oneshot in close quarters and is semi auto.

[azure rampart]

I haven't used it

[eager spire]

well

[royal swan]

Otherwise people will be butt hurt because I can't win against shotgun 😭

[eager spire]

there you go

[azure rampart]

I still find the 40mm funny

[royal swan]

Add mortars

[upbeat sand]

I have a smoke grenade obsession

[eager spire]

i will always maintain that shotguns are annoying as shit to play against in FPS games and frankly i wish games would just leave them out in favor of just having SMGs that require some amount of aim to actually use.

[magic bloom]

YOU HAVE A SMOKE GRENADE OBSESSION? HAVE YOU SEEN ME

[royal swan]

Or remove smgs and just have shotguns

[eager spire]

why?

[magic bloom]

Smonk.

[upbeat sand]

DO YOU USE THE LAUNCER

[magic bloom]

YES

[upbeat sand]

GOOD

[magic bloom]

I USE TWO ACTUALLY

[royal swan]

We have shotguns for close range and assault rifles of medium ranges

[upbeat sand]

PLAY ANGEL

UNLIMITED

[royal swan]

Why use smgs then

[upbeat sand]

SMOKES

[magic bloom]

I do.

[royal swan]

[magic bloom]

I Even use his white skin to blend in

[royal swan]

They are the lesser guns for close range anyways

[upbeat sand]

THEN NOTICE PEOPLE'S FEET AND SOUNDS THEN SPRAY THAT SPOT DOWN WITH THE PP

AVOID WITH MORE SMOKES

MULTIKILL

[eager spire]

yeah because DICE are insane and decided to nerf all SMG's for no good reason

[placid parrot]

There a shotgun that would fit well in BF2042 Timeline.

[royal swan]

They were op at one point

[eager spire]

"ohhh the k30's too good in close quarters it needs to be nerfed" god shut up

[placid parrot]

Tavor TS-12.

[royal swan]

K30 was better than most assault rifle

[tough flax]

K30 has the fastest time to kill

[eager spire]

IN CLOSE QUARTERS.

[royal swan]

That's why it was nerfed to the ground

[upbeat sand]

IN CQC

Only cause

[royal swan]

Nope even in medium ranges

[upbeat sand]

Cqc

[tough flax]

Facts

[upbeat sand]

I've outgunned people with the pp

[eager spire]

IF IT GOT A FAST TTK IN MEDIUM RANGES THEN THE PERSON USING IT DESERVED THE KILL

[upbeat sand]

Against k30

[eager spire]

CAUSE THEY COULD AIM

[magic bloom]

K30 is the ultimate brrrrrt cannon

[placid parrot]

They fucked over my favorite gun, the Vector.

[royal swan]

Same with the bizon

[upbeat sand]

The k30 is counterable

[eager spire]

BECAUSE EVERYTHING IN AN FPS GAME SHOULD REWARD GOOD AIM

[upbeat sand]

Just stay away and your ok

[robust vapor]

[upbeat sand]

Bf1:

[royal swan]

K30 was better than assault rifles in medium ranges which was the assault rifles specialty, so it was nerfed

[placid parrot]

Is there any weapons from BF4 you want to return in BF2042?

[eager spire]

*if the person using it could aim

[royal swan]

Pointless

[magic bloom]

MTAR cause ultimate cheese

[eager spire]

people were just sad that they were getting beamed.

[royal swan]

Assault rifles should automatically be better than smgs in medium ranges

[upbeat sand]

A future version of the ar160

[royal swan]

So it was a justified nerf

[upbeat sand]

MY BEAUTIFUL NOT RECOIL BOY

[royal swan]

For the k30

[eager spire]

SMG's should at least be usable at all ranges provided you can control them.

It was not a justified nerf for anything else, but they couldn't nerf the K30 in any way that mattered.

[royal swan]

Nah

[upbeat sand]

Using high power should be forced if it's outside close

[royal swan]

Doesn't work like that

[eager spire]

that's understandable.

[royal swan]

No no no

[eager spire]

yes it does work like that

just because you don't like it doesn't mean it doesn't work like that.

[upbeat sand]

Or at least standard

[royal swan]

If you want smgs back, then they better buff the assault to be better in medium ranges

[upbeat sand]

Cause letting CLOSE combat amo at med-long is nono

[eager spire]

Anything in an FPS game should reward good aim. Justifying a nerf with "they are not weapons that should reward accuracy versus other weapon types" is insane and does not belong in anything resembling a competitive FPS game.

[royal swan]

Smgs can keep their place until assault rifles can be unchallenging by smgs in medium ranges

[eager spire]

THE AR'S ALREADY GOT BUFFED.

[royal swan]

Buff it more until smgs can come back properly

[eager spire]

THEY GOT BUFFED IN THE SAME UPDATE THAT THEY NERFED THE SMG'S

[upbeat sand]

Someone was talking about how nice Hildur's feet (The main soundtrack creator for 2042) is in the battlefield 2042 chat

Helllpppp

Also I got PP t1

[magic bloom]

Just simple Hit mouse 2 acquire your target then press mouse 1 it’s that easy

[magic bloom]

Makes some banger ass sound tracks ngl

[royal swan]

You know what's funny, they nerfed the smgs so hard that the Glock is better than most of them

[eager spire]

SMG'S DESERVE TO BE COMPETITIVE AND USABLE, AND RIGHT NOW THEY ARE NOT.

[lone wren]

I'm still waiting for a stealth bomber in 2042

[royal swan]

The Glock is a better gun than nearly the entire smg category

[eager spire]

yeah and that's just a bit fucked up innit

[upbeat sand]

It's very sad no nearly everyone hated on Hildur's work in 2042

It was very good

[eager spire]

like that does not seem like that should be a thing

[upbeat sand]

People where just saying "it's not battlefield"

[eager spire]

i do not agree i did not like the 2042 OST.

couldn't stand it.

[upbeat sand]

Don't turn on wartapes in audio if you want the music

[magic bloom]

The season 3 menu theme is fire

[upbeat sand]

Wartapes seems to lower it by a ton

[eager spire]

well i mean that makes sense, if you're putting on War Tapes, you clearly don't wanna hear the music, you wanna hear footsteps.

[magic bloom]

I Just want the guns to go bang louder

[lone wren]

What about ghost tapes

[royal swan]

Better reload animation

[magic bloom]

What is your favorite reload animation in this game

[upbeat sand]

Ooo it's hard

[magic bloom]

Mine is probably the empty reload on the MP28 or the empty on the AM40

[eager spire]

AK24, i guess?

[next onyx]

3d Headphones work pretty well.

[upbeat sand]

Ghost maker

[magic bloom]

I’m am indeed on my way to angel T1

[eager spire]

but yeah I think SMG's deserve to be buffed at least up to a 1.5x headshot multiplier so they're more usable in general. AR's do not need any other buffs.

[magic bloom]

Even though now I suck at getting revive

[eager spire]

also an apology needs to be issued for that ridiculous nerf justification

[magic bloom]

I simply think all guns should be balanced

[eager spire]

HOO BOY ARE WE A FAR CRY FROM THAT

[magic bloom]

I don’t feel it’s that bad

[eager spire]

i mean between the glock being able to oneburst to the head, the railgun existing, most of the portal weapons not being that good at all except for the XM8, most of the AR's being not that good compared to the SFAR, the sniper rifles being basically redundant now that the railgun exists, balance in this game is not great.

and that's not even mentioning the 12M and the MCS being a pump action that can't oneshot, which while very funny, is probably not intended

[remote kiln]

milsims FTW 2042 should add a one shot headshot policy to all weapons regardless of distance then we can have realistic gunfights

[magic bloom]

But helmets

[eager spire]

and also i feel like the NTW should get more vehicle damage or just be removed from the game.

[magic bloom]

Absolutely agree

[remote kiln]

the ntw should have explosive ammunition, in that you can kill tank drivers by piercing it at the right angle

[magic bloom]

But this is also battlefield for god sake I can jump out of a jet and snipe another one with an rpg

[magic bloom]

They should add slap rounds instead so it goes straight through both sides of the tank and keeps going

[eager spire]

like

what do people even use the NTW for anymore

seriously

do people even use it anymore

[remote kiln]

YouTube videos

[magic bloom]

Well before the railgun it was added I think it was to annoy vehicles

[eager spire]

so basically only youtubers use it for content

and even then i feel like the railgun would be better for that

there is really no reason for the NTW to still exist in the game.

[remote kiln]

yes and no the ntw is more reactive than the rorsch in gunfights

able to aim for player movement more accurately

[eager spire]

i feel like that's only a positive if you're somehow incapable of tracking someone for the short charge period that the railgun has

and if that's the case then frankly i don't know how you're playing the game.

[magic bloom]

I feel like the NTW needs to have damage that’s affected by where you hit said vehicle

[remote kiln]

it's not that straightforward, it's relatively easy to counter rorsch players because the charge has to be via ADS, in that you just move out the way in the right time

the ntw is instantaneous from ADS to non sight, generally more amenable

[eager spire]

if you know they're present and where they are ahead of time. but most of the time, people are neither of those things.

unless the railgun user misses. and even then i feel like a lot of people are just not paying attention.

[remote kiln]

battlefield players have a prolific nostalgia for hiding in their spawns all game but that's a separate topic

[magic bloom]

The amount of people I’ve hardly missed and the sabot practically grazes their head and they don’t move is crazy to me

[next onyx]

Going from the Rorsch to a proper gun it felt weird being able to fight immediately.

[magic bloom]

It really is

[eager spire]

yeah but i feel like the claim that the railgun is "Easily countered" is largely in a scenario that's highly unlikely to actually happen against real people.

[next onyx]

I think the railgun in semi mode should do less damage.

From 80 to 60.

And maybe a tiny bit longer charge to offset its perks.

On semi.

Really that's what I would change.

[eager spire]

i donno if that'd be enough to balance it, really. seems like the kind of thing that you can't really nerf in any way that matters without removing the entire purpose of it.

but then again, i don't even know what the purpose of it is supposed to be.

damaging vehicles?

[remote kiln]

well yes but that's because people prefer the noobtube weapon primarily

rather than the ntw itself

there's definitely been situations with the rorsch up close I would rather have had a ntw or something higher damage per round

[eager spire]

i feel like if you're using a rorsch up close you're not using it right

[remote kiln]

don't have a choice most of the time, spearhead et al

[eager spire]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[magic bloom]

Almost done with the battle pass

[next onyx]

What tier are you?

I'm at 93.

[magic bloom]

94

HA

[low timber]

Ha ha

[magic bloom]

Also I’m not gonna lie the T shirt outfit for Zain is kinda drip

[next onyx]

Nice.

I'm at the point where I need 27K for a single token.

Which is fucking stupid.

WOW HOW DARE YOU DO WELL.

[magic bloom]

Mines like 28k

It’s appalling

[next onyx]

They just need to set it as is at certain points.

Instead of this.

[low timber]

There’s still 9 weeks left Way

[next onyx]

I know.

But still dumb.

[magic bloom]

It’s just annoying

[low timber]

Have you done this week yet?

[magic bloom]

I’ve got one challenge left

[remote kiln]

instead they should make it you need to level up for one token

[magic bloom]

No.

Would take me days just to get one token

[low timber]

That way you couldn’t even get to tier 100 with an account in the S levels.

[next onyx]

Yeah Marse I'm already done.

[low timber]

Done what?

[azure rampart]

Level 60 on the pass purely from challenges

[last swift]

Level 66 😌

[magic bloom]

I’m level 94 get on my level dozer main

[last swift]

Tbh, there is no need to hurry.. 👀

[shy latch]

yo, how is the event? yesterday I didn't have chance to play at all

[lone void]

I love that the new event is operations but worse because it's a predefined narrative over 3 weeks

Thank god they brought 128 Bt back for the last week tho

[lone void]

Different, fun

Rewards actually good this time

[shy latch]

so it worths

hopefully later today I'll be able to do some matches

[errant scarab]

bored

[lone void]

Skill issue

[quaint vector]

[errant scarab]

[shy latch]

🤨

[crimson spade]

who else just grinded to 20 ribbons within the first hour of the event

[lavish panther]

me

[high rain]

guys when the new map is coming in bf 2042

[lavish panther]

end of January

[high rain]

dawm why not this year

[lavish panther]

EA xD

[magic bloom]

Because that’s when the new season is

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/what-why-huh-steve-harvey-confused-gif-17449734

[lavish panther]

what is the fastest way to get ribbons?

I used Rao with soflam

[magic bloom]

Probably using falck and ammo box

[still vault]

Ribbons in a match get harder for each level of each. So switch around and make sure you get a ribbon of each.

[edgy oriole]

paik for fast spots, repair helo at start of match, then finish up the combats by going full force

[lavish panther]

true

[lavish panther]

good idea

which specialists do you guys play often? I recently switched from Lis to Mackay

[untold valve]

why tf were you using Lis?

she’s useless unless you’ve got a dozen other players to damage vehicles before hitting them

[edgy oriole]

mackay if im specifically going to weapon tiers or i main falck

[lavish panther]

I had a squad at the beginning and 2 of us had to choose lis to destroy Tanks

[lavish panther]

agree

no I use Mackay with C5 easier for me as solo to destroy tanks

[crimson spade]

casper

[azure basalt]

i just want to say when they gonna adjust/change/remove the breakthrough layout C 2 Objective on kaleidoscope, its so impossible to take if enemy already put a RAM LATV4

C2 breakthrough on kaleidoscope is nearly impossible to capture please

change it

[chilly jacinth]

skill issue

[untold valve]

the 16 player requirement needs to be dropped all the way to 8. add some bots ffs

[tough flax]

No wtf

[untold valve]

well i can’t find a mf game bruh

[tough flax]

More content to the game and the player base will grow

I find a game all the time within 30 seconds, move country then 😂

[untold valve]

good job, you get a gold star

and i can find games, just not exodus.

[tough flax]

Shush, you can find games that’s all that matters

[untold valve]

🤡^

[tough flax]

Exodus 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Mad

[next onyx]

Knock it off.

Assume this, Dead.

1. There is an exodus match but it is full.
2. The new event is up and the mode encourages people to play for the rewards so if I had to guess, A high portion of the playerbase is playing it.

[eternal storm]

So this new event is basically just infantry conquest on the new map…?

[chilly jacinth]

no

not even close

[eternal storm]

Then what?

[chilly jacinth]

read the mode description

[eternal storm]

Yes…conquest assault on the same map for a week, how am I “not even close”?

[remote meteor]

no air vehicles, just ground vehicles and no rangers

[eternal storm]

Yes and that was my@original message?-“So this new event is basically just infantry conquest on the new map…?”

[remote meteor]

Defenders already have all points captured at the start and attackers conquer it and then it is like conquest. But attackers have more tickets

[eternal storm]

Ah ok gotcha thanks

[remote meteor]

but infantry has no vehicles at all. This one has tanks too

[solar tinsel]

I was a bit bummed to see it was ONLY Spearhead, I guess it makes sense with the title of the event, but still.

[eternal storm]

Same that shit will get old quick

[solar tinsel]

Especially if, as I assume it will, EVERY week's event will be on Spearhead only

[solid imp]

The mode changes with every week though

[solar tinsel]

True, but likely Spearhead each time, which I think means folks wont spend all too much time on it once they finish the ribbons

[solid imp]

Perhaps but this sounds really interesting honestly regardless whether it's still on spearhead

A 16v16 twist on Conquest which combines elements of Conquest, Breakthrough and Rush into a single mode where attackers fight their way towards the frontlines while securing objectives along the way. Teamplay is the key to success towards victory.

If you are successful at breaking through the enemy lines towards the final objective then the match will transition into an all-out Rush where you attempt to arm strategically placed M-COMs around the Nordvik facility.

[solar tinsel]

It does, this is similar to a Frontlines mode that was made before right? Either in previous games or Portal?

[solid imp]

I think so, but it seems like this is more open so you could cap any flag you want and not just fighting over a single flag at a time. But I could be misremembering Frontlines somewhat.

[solar tinsel]

I've actually been working on a Titan / Carrier Assault mode in Portal - I'm always a big fan of those multi-objective style modes

So perhaps its closer to that

[solid imp]

Yep I got the impression Frontlines was meant to be a WW1 era appropriate version of those modes so it's probably going to be similar to all of the above

[solid imp]

So you're happy they added the EventMCOM block? 🙂

[solar tinsel]

ha, very much so

When I learned they can be teleported, thats what encourages me to start it

I have it working pretty well on a few maps now already. The only issue is I highly doubt anyone will wind up playing it 😂

but I intend to get it setup on all of the maps available in Custom CQ first

I know this is a better question for #portal perhaps, but @solid imp, do you know if there's a way to change the default "max ticket" count in Custom CQ?

[solid imp]

with logic you can change the default score mode and set score requirements

[solar tinsel]

Not that I have to do this, but i kind of want "100" to be max (ie. 100%) but on a scale of 1000 it's like 10% of the bar

I tried that once, but then it seemed to break the mode

maybe it's because I'm using SetGameModeScore?

perhaps I need to set the default instead

[solid imp]

I moved it to here: #portal message

[solar tinsel]

ok thanks!

[gusty spoke]

Idk why but why didn’t dice add the su75, seems ideal if there’s an f35….

[round dock]

Does someone else have the problem that anti cheat kicks you after 2-15 min in the game?
I have this problem since one week it’s horrible

[median tusk]

same

i tried checking the file integrity and reintalling the EA anti cheat but it hasn't solved a thing

[solid imp]

Do you have any overlays or such running?

[spiral folio]

Yea stop cheating

[arctic grove]

I don’t think the SU-75 was announced yet

I’d assume most of the games dev time was between late 2020 and through most of 2021. I believe the SU-75s announcement is fairly new

[upbeat sand]

Vault vehicles?

Plz

[grand prism]

We gotta save nordvik

[arctic grove]

I will save nordvik later

[gusty spoke]

Ur right

it got revealed 2021

[arctic grove]

IKEA needs our help

[gusty spoke]

hm

[upbeat sand]

Ikea does have an offical ikea museum to show off their old and new stuff

HMMMMMMM

dice when

[gusty spoke]

@wary dew add su75 pls in season 5 <33

[arctic grove]

I hope s4 map is good.

[upbeat sand]

Poor randy getting pinged

[gusty spoke]

What

He is dice

[gusty spoke]

u got cod character as ur pfp

u won’t save nordvik

[grand prism]

Hmmm

[upbeat sand]

From what everyone is getting it sounds like it's gonna be and operation style map

[grand prism]

[arctic grove]

Ghost could solo all of the specialists tbh

[grand prism]

Indeed

[upbeat sand]

I hope if it is it should acutally be called Operation "something"

[grand prism]

I will assist on saving nordvik

[gusty spoke]

bruh

[grand prism]

XD

[gusty spoke]

u all Americans lmao

[grand prism]

but still

[upbeat sand]

He will attemp to camp in a bush after putting loot on the road and wait for 80 mins until someone walks over

[grand prism]

Nah i'm mostly a frontliner

[crimson spade]

yo can someone send me the post for 2nd week awards

[grand prism]

XD

[gusty spoke]

well, do u wanna know a fun fact?

that is if u guys played since 2011 battlefield era you’d understand

[arctic grove]

I assume you live in Libya fadil?

Or just from there

Just curious either way

[gusty spoke]

yes

Benghazi

[upbeat sand]

Wonder what the Plot twist with Wolff is

[gusty spoke]

I’m actuall glad seeing teenager play the battlefield game now , most play cod and Fortnite and battlefield is only seen by 20 year old +

[upbeat sand]

It's mainly cause I'd say cod's structure is a bit more related to adduction with flashy stuff and showing off the best plays

Fortnite it's

H I P W I T H T H E K I D S

Why how do you do

Skate boarding

[kindred flint]

Fortnite? Oh the game that had to pay out over 500 million dollar lawsuit for predatory practices

[upbeat sand]

Waiting for the genshin lawsuit

[arctic grove]

What the hell

Oh wait, just a weird bug

I thought some dude with no profile picture or name was typing

[upbeat sand]

Jhon doe taken to the next level

[gusty spoke]

su75 @ sooon

[upbeat sand]

Is that the real bf1

[gusty spoke]

Bruh

I can’t type @ soon without itpinging ffs

@naive epoch

xd

[arctic grove]

You ever wonder if those people even use those accounts anymore

[gusty spoke]

Prob not

[celest oar]

does the ingame report actually work?

[low timber]

Chat gold:

this game needs to be PC only

[arctic grove]

I can’t tell if they forgot they can turn crossplay off or they mean literally PC exclusive

[lilac dust]

Lol killed a guy called JamesBlond

Cue Audience laughter

[grand prism]

M8 they want pc exclusive xD

[remote kiln]

all reports are manually reviewed, so the answer is yes, you arent told if your report is actioned on though

[lilac dust]

Man where the heck is that spearhead datamined thunder storm weather event....

If they ain't saving it for week 2 or 3 of this event then I've lost all hope for new weather

[celest oar]

thanks

[subtle raptor]

Man why'd they have to make the old gen a different version from the new gen

They could've just made it 1 game and removed the 128 player playlist from old gen

Really sucks

[still vault]

Another example of datamining only leading to disappointment

[arctic grove]

Nonsense! It will be in the game soon……

[lilac dust]

Eh my disappointment would be the same regardless. I just have an easy label to blame it on in this case 🤣 2042 without tornadoes and more destruction would be LIT, but here we are forever with 1 single weather event 🙃

[arctic grove]

But

Tornado is so cool

[frank escarp]

[lilac dust]

It is, but it also isn't if that is the only weather event we will ever get lol

[arctic grove]

I hear ya

Alongside data leaks concept art is also some of the most disappointing stuff to look at

[still vault]

that's just called being a sourpuss

[lilac dust]

No it's called being a guy called "Dice give us New Weather events"

🤓

[arctic grove]

Concept art has fire tornadoes and shet man

[next onyx]

I mean.

People need to understand that data mining isn't official.

[arctic grove]

the fire tornado wasn’t official artwork?

Oh shit you edited it nvm lol my bad

[next onyx]

No my fault for not actually doing it right.

[arctic grove]

All good man all good

[low timber]

Killed a Bolte passenger and stole it, asked in chat if anyone wanted an enemy Bolte, no answer

[next onyx]

I'm in a VC with my friends' and they're running memes and saw a man fucking screaming as he was gripping the ground.

[lilac dust]

The behind closed door dev presentation showing earthquakes, tsnuami's and fire torandoes will forever haunt my dreams

[arctic grove]

Wait

Tsunamis and earth quakes? I’m gonna go cry now

[lilac dust]

Yep 🥹

[dapper river]

it's all console players who don't know how to reply in chat

[arctic grove]

Aye man it’s tedious for me

Gotta press a button 300 times to get to W

[frail sparrow]

So many possibilities with ze natural disasters and they squandered it. They even had the audacity to tone down the effects of tornadoes instead of making it even more disastrous. Imagine watching people getting slurped up by a tornado together with the debris and having a whole wasteland in its wake.

[next onyx]

Would of been hell on the engine. Would be cool but xtill.

[frail sparrow]

Maybe

But that's what they sold me on at launch

I love the new outfits, what's your opinion on ze stuff, way? It looks splintercell @next onyx

[next onyx]

It looks good.

[frail sparrow]

Splinter celly*

[next onyx]

I might get the twilight bundle.

[frail sparrow]

I got the falck one, love ot

Bought it separately cause I didn't feel like getting ze rest xd

[tribal epoch]

Is it just me or the game runs bad on the ps4?

I'm trying out the free access and so far...it's not polished at all...

[frail sparrow]

Everything new won't run smoothly on nearly 13 year hardware. Concessions have to be made, whether it's framerate or performance

[tribal epoch]

Copy that. Thanks 🙂

[frail sparrow]

The ps4 edition also has a limit of only 64 players and small conquest/modes too.

[next onyx]

It's weird they do pestilence but not conquest.

[tribal epoch]

Yea it's pretty mediocre. Graphic elements don't load and things float 😅

Time for a ps5

[next onyx]

Conquest is in pestilences place in the four horsemen.

[silk surge]

Dozer is actually pretty good sometimes.

[chilly jacinth]

ew

[atomic egret]

LoL

SplatSplatSplat

[royal swan]

[willow sky]

That blast resistance trait comes in so handy

[frail sparrow]

Hey way, who are you playing? Conquest. What? No, what are you playing. As conquest, I meant what character. Yes, conquest. I DON'T WANNA KNOW WHAT MODE, WHAT CHARACTER. conquuueest

Maybe that's why they called it pestilence :(

Also imagine Googling battlefield 2042 conquest

[next onyx]

That'd be weird.

I've been playing tonnes of binding of isaac and recently researched them.

Conquest would of fit perfectly.

To conquer.

[restive coral]

Hey!
Does anyone else have this bug where my cursor appears to be bugging in the game? It constantly flashes from being my regular windows cursor to the ingame one, it’s not that big of a deal but I wouldn’t mind to get it fixed somehow

[crimson spade]

dont think so

oh wait nvm

pc moment

[restive coral]

welp

[ancient eagle]

whats the best gun for latv?

[next onyx]

40mm gl.

[ancient eagle]

thanks 🙏

is that like the best option on most vehicles?

[spiral folio]

40mm gatling laser :u

I hate when i get in a tank and they chose the damn TOW

[tough flax]

No, this sounds like a overlapping error bug in-game

[severe oyster]

@staff when is the desert eagle coming in the game ?

Next season?

[chilly jacinth]

never

[severe oyster]

Says who?

[spiral folio]

Desert eagle is ancient. Future guns oonly

Be a hip cool kid and use a 5.7mm

[kindred flint]

We have a fucking 45-70

[solemn shore]

And a crossbow

[severe oyster]

ok? but how many of yall actually tier 1 the crossbow

and m44?

[spiral folio]

Hey just because virtually all of the guns in the game will be 60 years old by the time the game takes place doesnt mean we'll have a clunky ol desert eagle

Now eat your 5.7s

[kindred flint]

If they added a leaver action we could totally get a deagle

Which makes a hell of a lot more sense than a revolver

[spiral folio]

Deagles are more if a meme gun than useful anyway

[severe oyster]

its not

[spiral folio]

So you own one

[severe oyster]

can you aim?

I actually do own a desert eagle

What does that have to do with that being added in 2042?

They can make a futuristic version of it indeed

[spiral folio]

Does it fire pellets

[severe oyster]

a 50 caliber pistol firing pellets...

right

if you cant aim just say that

[spiral folio]

5.7 is more good

Now eat your 5.7s or no desert

[severe oyster]

if youre an avancys mckay crutch

just say that

[spiral folio]

I use the ac42 or the watchacallit... G?? Sniper

Some forgettable 2042 name

The 2nd one

[fiery shoal]

deagle would definitely be a meme gun

[spiral folio]

Tried the avancys a few times and its pretty much just hold and fire til the bad things go away

[fiery shoal]

slow rof, one shot headshot under med range and a secondary? yea meme gun

[spiral folio]

Yea ive never seen a deagle outside of a game. And then chunking out half inch wads of lead like a musket

People see em in games and go "oOoOo big gun more gooder"

Like when dirty harry came out a ton of idiots bought that gun and broke their wrists

Id bet with chonky ass bullets like .50" its single stack too

Might as well be a dropping block single shot at that point

[fiery shoal]

i also feel like a deagle would basically be an m44...

at least stat wise

maybe up rof but increase vrec.. which wow.. such changes

[spiral folio]

Yea unless like it's a hand and a half grip it wont even hold many shots

[fiery shoal]

typical counter to a primary being able to one shot headshot at shorter ranges

[spiral folio]

Yea 7 rounds of .50 its barely the capacity of the 44 in game

4 pounds unloaded

M16 weighs 6.4-7.5

Ruger 57 holds 20rds and weighs 24oz

Cause the deagle is ancient metal framed chonkyboi

[kindred flint]

There's nothing wrong with a modernized hand cannon for a semi automatic pistol instead of dumb revolvers

[spiral folio]

You'd probably save 2 pounds going to a poly frame

Revolver are better for large calibers because single stack mags jam more and large caliber slides need harder springs

Combine the two and you get jams

Why bear hunting revolvers are.. revolvers

[solemn shore]

Ok cool but a deagle looks really cool

[spiral folio]

Looks old

As neat as a big heavy gun is? I can put 6 rounds on target with a 5.7 before a deagle could get 2

And penetrate body armor

[solemn shore]

Well you see the problem is that the deagle only needs 1

[spiral folio]

Except if you miss cause the gun weighs 200lbs

And then it jams the 2nd shot

[solemn shore]

Not the guns fault you have noodle arms

[severe oyster]

not the guns fault you dont lift

[spiral folio]

Thing weighs as much as a full-on rifle

[severe oyster]

and cant aim

[spiral folio]

The problem with a fat caliber is kevlar is specifically designed to stop that

You'll break their ribs probably but

[solemn shore]

Hit the face then

[spiral folio]

Which is how you miss and then jam your 2nd shot

[solemn shore]

Skill issue

[spiral folio]

No its single stack mags

Simple physics

[solemn shore]

🤓 it's really simple guys

[spiral folio]

As a single stack feeds, the rounds roll against eaxh other and the mag walla

Double stack mags the rounds roll the same direction

Double feed are even better because they don't have to funnel to a central loading point

But double feed usually requires larger operating actions unless

The round is lower diameter ie 5.7

Revolver eliminates that entirely of course.

[lilac dust]

Man the AM40 is very satisfying to use. I been sleeping on it for too long

[fiery shoal]

iirc its my best performing primary weapon

[acoustic island]

That must of been very uncomfortable to sleep on a gun

[spiral folio]

Yea people talk about a gun under their pillow but its better on the nightstand

[lilac dust]

The AM40 liquidator skin is comfy enough to sleep on. Just sayin

[spiral folio]

1911s are probably the most common ones still using a steel frame

They do make 1911 style actions with poly frames but the "tWo WoRLd WaRs" guys reject new things. Same problem Harley has

[kindred flint]

You slept on it because it was dog shit at release

[ebon pilot]

Did DICE make it so that when your projectiles get deleted by APS it makes a crit reticle???

[lilac dust]

Hey. I don't sleep on dog shit I'll have you know... My bed is comfy 🛌

[kindred flint]

Weird flex

[lilac dust]

https://tenor.com/view/sakshi-okay-gif-24764953

[frail sparrow]

what's up with litterally everyone playing like it's deployfield? stop skipping revives, it litterally only takes me 2 sec to reach ya 😠

[kindred flint]

I'm too used to disappoint.. first thought is skip revive

[fiery shoal]

personally i press skip pretty quickly since its normally a waste of time waiting for a revive that never comes

[arctic grove]

[still vault]

bad!

[arctic grove]

is there an instance in the game where you died permanently, unable to revive

[kindred flint]

It's the truth

The amount of freaking sniping medics I saw during rush xl was amazing

Too busy missing shots zoomed in to notice me 8m In front of them

[spiral folio]

what i say when i have to redeploy to get ammo. "Dont worry about giving ammo guys ... i can just keep redeploying"

[kindred flint]

Dying shortly after a revive makes you go right back to deploy

[arctic grove]

not what I asked for

[kindred flint]

Takedowns also prevent it?

[spiral folio]

Maybe that's why they gave recons the spawn beacon

So they can keep redeploying for ammo and spawn back at their spot

[ebon pilot]

falling from a great height in the downed state also prevents it

[kindred flint]

But being headshot... totally fine soldier get back up

[spiral folio]

And being directly shot by a tank i think

[arctic grove]

does anyone else prefer the given option to be revived or respawn

[spiral folio]

Yea -stands up like a zombie-
-headshot again-
Always double tap guys

[ebon pilot]

nope i got my head blown off by a tank yesterday and was able to get revived

[arctic grove]

after they defib you

[frail sparrow]

b-but yer making my revive assignment so much harder 😭 (proceeds to instantly redeploy after i finished the mission)

[spiral folio]

[T1000.gif]

[kindred flint]

Large caliber explosion I think yeah...ram definitely leaves you revivable

[arctic grove]

Ngl the new tank skin looks good I still prefer the one u get from leveling up

[fiery shoal]

its especially fucked up since im a falck main and i complain about all the people instantly redeploying...

[spiral folio]

People always have too

Bf1 i stopped carrying a revive cause people skipped

[kindred flint]

Btw do dmrs allow holding breath? I've been under the assumption they don't

[spiral folio]

Like ok fuggit I'll carry something i can use

[frail sparrow]

dwahaha. tbh i usually try to hold if i see someone is around 10m away. if he doesnt get closer or goes to 11m, i'm out

[arctic grove]

then you wish the game had deploy screen delay

[spiral folio]

I hate when it includes frigin people in tanks and shit in the "medic nearby" thing

[kindred flint]

Then the passenger won't jump out to revive

[spiral folio]

Never do

"I would rev but im doing this VERY important job SPOTTING for the apc!"

[arctic grove]

They need to add passenger seats for the APC’s

[frail sparrow]

yeah people in vehicles shouldn't be on that list

[arctic grove]

Wait nvm it’s MAV’s

[spiral folio]

It is odd there are no spots

[modest ivy]

hmmm

[spiral folio]

The spotter slot is effectively a passenger spot

[arctic grove]

Invincibility cheats?

I did not mean to react that💀

[arctic grove]

dancesun

[arctic grove]

100%

[modest ivy]

nah, I just died before the throwing knife hit

[arctic grove]

Damn

[spiral folio]

Use gun

Pew pew go more faster

[arctic grove]

I like my smol dmr

Best dmr

[ebon pilot]

i try to jump out and revive, but last time i did that an enemy ran past the entire team and just jumped in it

[modest ivy]

The throwing knife is much faster honestly

[spiral folio]

Maybe if you always run with it out

[modest ivy]

... yes

[spiral folio]

I prefer running with a gun out cause it shoots bullets

And bullets go fast

[spiral folio]

And far

[ebon pilot]

underbarrel shotgun is strictly better. you can switch to it faster, it fires faster, it's basically hitscan at the range you're using it at, etc etc

[fluid portal]

I would use throwing knives if Frags weren't mini nukes

[spiral folio]

Throwing stars for memes same reason i use the crossbow sometime

[arctic grove]

Smol dmr can’t have that lol

[spiral folio]

Frag knives next

[ebon pilot]

use a better gun then

[arctic grove]

Wdym better gun it’s a good gun

[ebon pilot]

any gun with an underbarrel shotgun

is better than a gun without

[drowsy shuttle]

they buffed it?

[spiral folio]

Shotgun with under barrel shotgun

[dire quest]

I got 128p infected to work with bots if anyone interested?

[spiral folio]

Run out of regular shotgun? Press X for more shotgun

[ebon pilot]

4v124?

[dire quest]

8v120

[ebon pilot]

hell yeah

sounds awesome

[willow sky]

sounds fun

[dire quest]

Just search infected with bots

[modest ivy]

No, they just never nerfed me 😛

[drowsy shuttle]

ah you said never nerfed me lol i just read "they nerfed me" lol

[modest ivy]

hahaha

[spiral folio]

Thankfully theres no global voice or youd get some 17yo squealing at you about naruto running when they throwing knife you

[willow sky]

it'd be funny if global voice was a thing in portal

[drowsy shuttle]

thankfully? man i wish there was at least all chat... i miss reading people telling me i was cheating or that they reported me like in bf v

[spiral folio]

That is sad yea

[willow sky]

global voice chat mislim would be pretty funny and hot

[spiral folio]

A lotta games save money on moderating their chat by removint cross chat

[drowsy shuttle]

i run sundance + ghostmaker ... having 30 to 40 kills per game... i can only imagine the rage and moans of people getting killed by sundance + ghostmaker lol

[spiral folio]

If I'm on stranded i like to plug crossbows down the hallways

[drowsy shuttle]

i run smokes or throwing knifes... depending on situation and map

[spiral folio]

Its also nice like a defacto Zain

Shoot the wall near em and bam

No fancy "ping this distance" either

Crossbow at least has some chance of piercing kevlar

Especially with the bladed bolts

[arctic grove]

I’ve never thought about how strong crossbows probably are

[radiant prism]

Holy shit the M240B hits like a truck

[dense sail]

will there be new gun skins and specialist sets every week?

that you can get by earning ribbons

or is it just the first week?

[lilac dust]

New earnable skins for week 2 and 3 yes

[arctic grove]

I feel u on that username

[gusty spoke]

Why is my graphics worse every time I play battlefield 2042

I play on ps5

[lilac dust]

🥹

[gusty spoke]

But for some reason the visuality is just getting worse

and idk why

[arctic grove]

Skill issue imo I’m on P5 no graphic errors

[gusty spoke]

well

[arctic grove]

bad internet?

[gusty spoke]

why is it like that

no, I got fibre optic

1gbps

jk

I’ve got 100 mbps

[arctic grove]

Performance mode?

[gusty spoke]

but that’s not the issue

idk

One sec

I’ll send photo

fuck I can’t sent photo

[chilly jacinth]

maybe your eyes are going kaput

[ebon pilot]

@dire quest the bots have no idea what to do

[gusty spoke]

maybe

[arctic grove]

Just ask ppl in #technology they’ll help

[gusty spoke]

is it the performance mode or resolution mode u talking about ?

It’s on resolution rn

[arctic grove]

Haha I’m in danger

[arctic grove]

Imo run performance

[gusty spoke]

But I want best visual

[arctic grove]

Performance is a way smoother experience

[spiral folio]

In terms of kinetic energy crossbows are a big bullet going very slowly where guns are a small bullet going very fast.

But like vs a plain kevlar vest the bladed head will cut through kevlar

[gusty spoke]

I used to have eye issues but I’ve been cleared a few months back

[chilly jacinth]

F

[spiral folio]

Range is a bitch though. Evem by 100m the crossbows at like 6-7 on its mildots

[gusty spoke]

I hate it

[dire quest]

Not the best bots, but they stay alive for a while

[rocky kraken]

the time to hipfire for smg needs to be lengthened

[arctic grove]

Can they realistically kill? Like on impact?

[rocky kraken]

the smg animations are clunky

[spiral folio]

People hunt deer with em all the time

[eager spire]

What do you mean

[rocky kraken]

the change from running to walking is clunky

for smgs

they snap

[ebon pilot]

LMAO after a while they just stop moving because they can't find a path to you. But if you get down suddenly there's a million footsteps of 100 bots realizing they can reach you

[arctic grove]

I can never use the fucking lever action I get gunned down💀

[rocky kraken]

like the ars and lmgs are fine

but the smgs snap to place

[spiral folio]

There's a "limbless crossbow" that would have been cool to see in the game

[eager spire]

To be frank this is likely to facilitate them being used in close quarters, where you would want them to be ready to shoot as quick as possible after sprinting.

It doesn’t really matter. What does matter is how weak SMG’s are in this game generally.

[fiery shoal]

idk if i would label something thats faster than normal as clunky either

[rocky kraken]

yeah but i feel like there could definitley be a smoothing factor to make it more fluid and smooth,

[eager spire]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dense sail]

ok cool, thanks

[eager spire]

I feel like that’s such an incredibly minor thing that I don’t see a point in doing that

[fiery shoal]

usually when i stop sprinting to shoot at someone im looking at my reticle placement or enemies and trying to line up the shot, not paying attention to the animation

[arctic grove]

I see what you mean GM

Like what you’re referring to

[rocky kraken]

its been bothering me since release

[spiral folio]

Man reloading animations get janky in this game.

Like crossbow is cocked.
Switch ammo type.
You'd remove the bolt, put another in right?

Nope
In the game you remove the bolt, apparently pull the trigger becahse its uncocked. Then you cock it again. Then load it.

Same with a lot of rifles. Goes to 0010 every time you change ammo

Fire last shot after ejecting the last spent case. Change ammo type. -operate bolt again-
-eject magical 2nd shell-

Because the animations are weirdly wired.

[arctic grove]

CoD, king of gun animations

[spiral folio]

You know what makes it even weirder is its not the same for rockets

[arctic grove]

Well, at least now

[gusty spoke]

Uu

[eager spire]

To be fair I’m not sure why you’re expecting them to have unique animations for switching ammo types like that.

[arctic grove]

because man

animations are kewl

[spiral folio]

Like if you fire a lis rocket. Open the back of the launcher and switch weapons.

Then you use another gun for a bit. Make it to safety

When yiu go to reload the rocket. It picks up where you left off!

So they CAN pick up where you left off.. they just dont

[fiery shoal]

for a mp fps animations are an added perk

[spiral folio]

Bolt rifles reloads are obnoxiously jacked up

If you interrupt it even at 99.9% done. Restarts entirely

[arctic grove]

Oh yeah I’ve had that happen before

[chilly jacinth]

reloads are somewhat staged for all guns

just like the rockets

but at almost the end of the reload basically

[spiral folio]

Like you fire your rifle
-operare bolt-
Switch to another dcope before its done
-operate bolt-
Fire sidearm and switch back
-bolt-
Run away and stop
-bolt intensifies-

[rocky kraken]

favorite animations come with the sfar in my opinion

[spiral folio]

Its that stupid

[chilly jacinth]

atleast it aint like mw2 electric boogaloo that fucks with your reloads

because they have several stages

[spiral folio]

There's nothing like even bf1 had where it remembers the state of your rifle

[arctic grove]

You will finish your reload animation and you will like it

[chilly jacinth]

which is extremely fucking annoying

[arctic grove]

I’m not sure if this is the same but I hate that damn Lachmann battle rifle

Without fast hands at least

Reload is like 3 centuries long

[spiral folio]

But yea its crazy cause the lis rockets animation can be interrupted and resumed

It's not as weird as the old revolver 5+1 bug

Which was just embarrassing

Fire all 6 rounds
-reload-
-reloads 5-
Cause they coded it like other mag fed guns ti be 1 in chamber 5 in mag

[lilac dust]

https://twitter.com/Battlefield/status/1605665131299487744 New calling card? 👀

[spiral folio]

Cause the default setting for guns is "capacity = x"
And reload at 0 = x-1

[arctic grove]

That’s pretty cute

[dapper river]

Earning these event items is a little too easy now, I'm almost disappointed

that sundance helmet is great but it doesn't really pair with any uniform

[lucid goblet]

🐧

[arctic grove]

DICE MOMENT

[modest ivy]

aww

[arctic grove]

On a series note: Maybe the Sundance T1 skin???

[dapper river]

aint nobody got that, it doesn't exist 💀

literally impossible to unlock

[arctic grove]

seems the closest

Also you wanna talk impossible? Get T1 boris

[modest ivy]

[arctic grove]

[dapper river]

fake and photoshopped

[arctic grove]

I’d think the best time to get Sundance T1 was definitely around launch time. It’s still possible but I feel like I’ll have gray hair by the time I’m done

[dapper river]

or season 1 launch when the scatters were OP

[arctic grove]

then again there is 128 rush…

Oh were they? I thought they’ve been nuked for a while

bro bt128 was the perfect place to T1 Sundance

[dapper river]

counterpoint: Irish

[modest ivy]

welp

Also this

[lilac dust]

Some people don't like gold. Some people don't like diamond. Some people don't like poop

[drowsy shuttle]

same.. i have 5 or 6 specialists t1 and i don't use them lol... only sundance cause the tier1 skin of sundance is kinda cool (but i don't use the helmet)

[spiral folio]

"Swetandedikasher thas arrit takes"

[drowsy shuttle]

show us the Tier 1 Ghostmaker R10

[spiral folio]

A black crossbow -gasp-

[modest ivy]

not there yet

[swift gust]

hey, been having a problem where bf won't launch, just opens the EA app instead. I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice, gave admin permissions to anticheat (anticheat loads up fine) and bf itself. I've turned off game mode, made sure my GPU is updated, turned off antivirus protection and game files are fully verified but nothing works. anyone have some ideas on how to fix?

[solid imp]

you have the steam version?

[swift gust]

yea

[solid imp]

I don't have it on steam myself but it at least used to be the case that steam chokes on EA Desktop

It tries to launch Origin and if you have EA Desktop it cannot do so

Again this might not be true anymore I can't test it, but if possible maybe try removing EA Desktop entirely and see if the problem evaporates

[drowsy shuttle]

mastery 26 is nice tho... keep up the good work

[swift gust]

okay ty, it's worked before okay too and had the problem before but an uninstall fixed it, but i'll try that ty

[solid imp]

And they may have fixed something in the meantime but hard to say... if you don't have Origin or EA Desktop in fact I think Steam installs an Origin thin client silently in the background so it can load BF. At least something to try.

[drowsy shuttle]

sometimes i press play on steam and tries to open the EA app to launch the game... the EA app opens but game is not launched... i have to click again to make it work then it works. i think once i had to reboot my pc

never had this issue with Origin

[arctic grove]

Origin is as buggy as bf2042 launch day

[drowsy shuttle]

also, and i dunno if its something related to the game or the EA App, but since season 3 started i can't use steam overlay

[solid imp]

Ultimately you might find more here or could post the issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-2042/ct-p/battlefield-2042-en

[spiral folio]

I dont mind origin as much as I mind steam and its "daaah time to update its been 12 minutes!"

[swift gust]

tried running without EA desktop and steam says no, then tried reinstalling and still stuck with the same problem

[still vault]

I tried something. Didn't quite work out 😄

[compact zealot]

Playing the game on PC. Does the EA app have to be open for me to play through Steam?

This guy really T1 everything.....

Also carb

[still vault]

Every launcher that can start 2042 requires EA app

[arctic grove]

I found this legendary meme

[still vault]

Say hello to the meme folder my little friend

[arctic grove]

Suprised FIFA didnt sponsor DICE for the WC.
