battlefield-2042

[arctic grove]

thats now how that works

[cobalt delta]

I sincerely wish that manager that released such a game gets an ingrown nail on his toes

[outer lintel]

i have the same issue. i can't customize my mouse key binds with grenade or any other cool down on pc. it wants to, but does nothing when i attempt to rebind

[chilly jacinth]

skill issue

[kindred flint]

Dice releasing games or updates before christmas break is a 2 year tradition now

[vital mauve]

whats the next battle of nordvik event?

[clever marlin]

Tommorow

[lilac dust]

New title screen?

Is this a christmas thing lol

[pearl ridge]

Sneak up on prone sniper
Politely help him to his feet
Immediately kick his leg out
Stab him on the ground

What is the point

[chilly jacinth]

to kill them

[arctic grove]

Pretend for a moment the animation was something different (more suited to your liking) It would take the same amount of time to play out said animation regardless of what it was.

[kindred flint]

so...devs taking more time to implement proper third person kill animations instead of janky shit we have now?

[lilac dust]

Nvm lmao didn't realize reinstalling and starting the game before it finishes fully installing gives you a different title screen... It's back to normal now

[arctic grove]

define proper. - do you mean first person.

also, define Janky. - third person?

I could rewrite your sentence so it makes more sense if you would like,

[pine roost]

I’m assuming that just means more third person animations that are just smoother

[arctic grove]

strong use of adjectives in complaints really takes away from the main point.

[pine roost]

Nothing will beat titanfall 2’s in my eyes

[kindred flint]

Ah yes the smug, ill pretend to have no clue what you typed, response from a purple name

[arctic grove]

Wait! haha Whats wrong with purple.

[silver mountain]

Best operator for sniping?

[pine roost]

A sniper rifle

[kindred flint]

Actually playing the objective not camping on a fucking hillside 400m away from anything useful?

[pine roost]

Also it depends on what kind of sniping you are doing

[arctic grove]

I'd probably use paik or angel

Angel for ammo regen, paik for spotting at long distance

could also go lis for anti vehicle if you're a decent distance

Can we talk about paik spotting at long distances.

I dont think paik is the best option for spotting at long distances.

[kindred flint]

..wouldnt rao be better for the insta spot if you take damage? you can literally spot at distance with anyone now

[pine roost]

So many scans and spots in this game

[kindred flint]

Universal spotting again was a mistake

[acoustic oar]

Way too many

[arctic grove]

her passive is decent ig

solflam

[silver mountain]

No mackays? The grapples fun

[remote kiln]

they say not even mount everest at its peak can stop the scan

[pine roost]

Mackay is just my default, the high strafe speed makes him very good for sniping

[arctic grove]

ehhh yeah, tbh any operator is good for sniping

[kindred flint]

This is battlefield, not a cod map...grappling yourself up to a niche high ground spot and sitting there getting 3 kills for your clip montage doesnt help win the game

[pine roost]

A good position can affect a match quite considerably, it’s just the sheer unpredictability that it creates that’s really annoying

[arctic grove]

and yet people enjoy it so

damn it

it still does not allow me to auto throw grenades when I select it

[pine roost]

Strange

The bugs in this game seem to be personalised for every player

[outer lintel]

ehhhhhh.... theres quite a few reddit posts with people being rezed and the camera pointing straight up in the sky

[kindred flint]

Jumping out of transports has been my newest 'most annoying bug'

[grim wigeon]

They’re taking our data and selling it to the game engine bug gods

[lilac dust]

Fuck my settings got fucked and I don't remember what my FOV was 🤣 What do most of ya'll use?

[pine roost]

The equivalent of 103 horizontal

With ads fov on

[kindred flint]

I enjoy 5 tbh...because then i can really get into the mindset of my tunnel vision teammates that cant res someone 8m away

[lilac dust]

I know it's either around 70 or 90. One of those numbers is what I used

[pine roost]

71 seems to be 103 according to this calculator

[lilac dust]

71 sounds about right. TY

[pine roost]

103 is just the default for most games these days. Sticking to that should make all the games ‘feel’ similar aiming wise

[lilac dust]

Ok. To also get a better idea on something. What is the downside to using say 90?

Is it too high or too fish bowly?

[remote kiln]

higher the FOV the higher the transition is when ADS

[pine roost]

Player models are smaller for one thing

[remote kiln]

and ^

[pine roost]

I just don’t like the fisheye effect

[lilac dust]

wait you mean higher fov slows down ads time?

[pine roost]

No, just the difference in fov per zoom is greater with a higher fov

[lilac dust]

alright gotcha

and I assume being on PS5 wouldn't make these settings any different to you guys?

[pine roost]

Nah

[lilac dust]

cool

[remote kiln]

eh on controller id go for a higher sensitivity but not by much

about all id do

[grim wigeon]

Total noob here, but am I not supposed to max out my FOV?

[remote kiln]

you can do what you want but its just not optimal for engagements

[pine roost]

It’s up to preference ultimately

In aircraft I max it out because the benefits outweigh the cons but as infantry I prefer a balance so I can visually track enemies while maintains awareness

[kindred flint]

higher FoVs lead to less visual recoil so it looks like you literally have none? isnt that how all the sweats are playing

[lilac dust]

Ok I think I might have actually been using 90 fov by mistake for like months and just didn't realize.... so now going to the 70's is jarring .... but I should probably get used to it. I was thinking my previous FOV (90) was making me squint my eyes a bit too much

[remote kiln]

80 is an option

higher the res lower the fov

[arctic grove]

im Just doing fine with 65

1080p

[crimson basin]

I play with 85, it's good enough

[lilac dust]

Just so I'm clear you think low 70's is enough to maintain awareness? Would any higher for you make it harder to track? I think I'm so used to 90

[pine roost]

Well the main reason why I use it is for the fact that loads of other games have it as default or the maximum option, but since battlefield has long engagement ranges you need the player models to be large enough to spot and track, which is harder to do on a really high fov. If you play locker 24/7 then w high one would probably work alright, but on spearhead or any 2042 map it’s best to find a middle ground. For me that 103 horizontal is perfect

[remote kiln]

120 is actually the best setting so you can see the enemy spawn base

[pine roost]

360 degrees fov is actually what I use

[lilac dust]

Just seems like I'm missing out on so much picture going down from 90 to the 70's but seems like it'll be worth getting used to for the improved tracking

[chilly jacinth]

why are you subjecting yourself to torture

[lilac dust]

I guess I could've said the same If I got used to 100+ on this game. As long as around the 70's is the equivalent of around 100 on apex then I gotta get used to the 70's

[pine roost]

Does apex use horizontal fov?

[lilac dust]

I can't even remember lmao. haven't played in a while. I just know I set my fov to like 105 on that game cos any higher was fish bowly

I guess I just answered my own question

🙃

Or your question

I'm hungover from last night. Forgive me

[pine roost]

If it’s listed as 105 then that’ll definitely be horizontal. In that case it works out to be 73 in battlefield to match that

[lilac dust]

Sweet. I'll stick to that then

[arctic grove]

Best weapon bf 2042 ?

[kindred flint]

depends what youre good with

[pine roost]

Mares leg

[kindred flint]

no get out

[pine roost]

I still main the ak

[kindred flint]

based booster in the house

[pastel crescent]

SFAR and BSV-M are my go to

[pine roost]

Crossbow is goated

If someone is shooting you and refuses to strafe, it just deletes them

[crimson basin]

probably m5

[sick abyss]

The MD540 Nightbird

[pine roost]

If it functioned properly

[left badge]

same

[pale mango]

if you can aim ac-42 will just melt, svk hella underrated too

[ebon pilot]

M5 is very flexible

[frosty flint]

sym.gg claims that the M5 with high impact rounds has some wild TTKs at very long ranges

though it only comes with 21 rounds per magazine

[chilly jacinth]

i prefer max firerate m5

[frosty flint]

you sure?

The TTK is quite shit with close combat at any decent range

[chilly jacinth]

dunno man

it just feels more consistent for me

[frosty flint]

fair fair

less recoil is a plus

sym.gg claims that close combat only has an advantage vs high power below 10 meters

high power gets 0.3 body kill time up to 75 meters

[cinder hatch]

high power-extended on the ak just feels crazy good

[radiant prism]

The AK in general feels great

[magic bloom]

Just got tier 100 battlepass let’s go finally

[royal trail]

im only bp 50 or something

rip

[kindred flint]

reject HP embrace standard

[remote meteor]

Are there any more rewards after 100?

[magic bloom]

No

[remote meteor]

aight

Well 30 more tiers to go for me

And I got 2.5k Bfc. So next BP will be bought too

[obsidian zinc]

how can I change Crawford's minigun ADS sensitivity?

[tranquil turtle]

it has the advantage of a larger magazine and faster reload time

and less recoil

[magic bloom]

Idk if you can

[pine roost]

i'm guessing it's related to vehicle sens if it's not infantry

[obsidian zinc]

I swear BF settings are so inconclusive, man...

[obsidian zinc]

I'll try this...

[kindred flint]

god damn its a pathetic fucking round when 22 kills is the highest in the server

this team couldnt hold more than 2 caps on canals

[lilac dust]

Pretty excited for the event mode tomorrow. Should be a lot more engaging than conquest assault

[lime torrent]

what is the event?

[lilac dust]

Battle of Nordvik

Ongoing right now

[lime torrent]

no the event tomorrow

[lilac dust]

Tomorrow is a new gamemode and new skins to earn

[kindred flint]

[naive magnet]

How long does Soflam’s lock stick for?

If I tag it; do I have to continually lase the target? Or after lasing it’ll be locked for a little bit?

[clever marlin]

As long as you hold it

[naive magnet]

Once I’ve established a lock I have to keep it locked? Even if it’s a second or two, that makes a huge difference

[chilly jacinth]

it will last awhile after youve lased it

[naive magnet]

Yeah; conflicting reports

Any clue how long?

Roughly is fine

[chilly jacinth]

id guess somewhere around 5-10sec

[naive magnet]

Does soflam allow Lis to fire without a lock? Or does she still require aiming through the shot?

[obsidian zinc]

you guys are sure?

[chilly jacinth]

nah her rocket is always guided

[naive magnet]

Offhand I’ve seen soflam last a bit longer so I wanted to know if I have any flexibility there

I just unlocked it; but I’ve wanted it for a while now

Is there anyway as a solo player I could soflam AND utilize my lock? I don’t think so

Unless I did some stupid shit

Like soflam, then run into a Wildcat or something quickly

[radiant prism]

No, given how the attachments work

[chilly jacinth]

well you could use Angel and call in his crate to switch between classes

[radiant prism]

Which is probably for balancing

[chilly jacinth]

use soflam then switch to a class with a rocket

[kindred flint]

its probably 10 seconds

long enough for all your teammates to ignore the lock

[naive magnet]

Do any of the light machine guns with Anti-Vehicle rounds actually make sense to use?

[chilly jacinth]

nah

well maybe if youre only shooting light armored vehicles

[kindred flint]

the reload time on them really...hurts it

[chilly jacinth]

but you wont so theres basically no point

[kindred flint]

AP round on ARs can make sense to keep a vehicle from auto repairing because its a quick reload

[naive magnet]

Generally I contemplate it if a heli is after me; and even then I feel like the stinger is more useful in getting them to get away from me

[obsidian zinc]

I just tested it for you: about 3 seconds.

[naive magnet]

Thank you for clarifying; still a fairly significant window

[chilly jacinth]

well damn

i thought it lasted way longer

[kindred flint]

for how long it takes to lock on it should be

[naive magnet]

Maybe a dumb question; but if it’s lased and you shoot and then the mark disappears, I’d imagine it still traces though idk

[chilly jacinth]

yeah it should

[kindred flint]

also it needs less zoom on it..holy fuck is that thing annoying to use "close range"

[obsidian zinc]

which is longer than how it was in BF4.

[naive magnet]

I like winning more than having fun so this is all helpful for me; thank you

[obsidian zinc]

not sure about 42, but in BF4, it used to be that way.

[naive magnet]

I’d imagine it’s still that way; I’ll test some today at some point

Last dumb question; probably fairly subjective too

I currently use the Avancys; I think it’s pretty disgusting having 200 rounds, but it’s probably still a 3-4 shot kill at 50m+, is there a semiautomatic 1-2 shot with a reasonable clip that engages around 50-150?

[kindred flint]

svk is the high powered at long range semi DMR

[naive magnet]

I see people kill me with the SVK and the AK24 or AC-42 I don’t remember haha

I’ve seen some VCAR clean up too

What’s the Rorsch? Like a railgun one shot?

[kindred flint]

its a 1 shot to the head but it has a momentary charge up pause before you shoot

nearly a hit scan weapon though

vcar is close range only gun, otherwise damage drops off fast

[naive magnet]

For what I like to do probably not the best choice; but it still looked fun, I’ll try the SVK

[lime torrent]

I'm so tilted. I clutched so hard, heart was beating hard, just got in the shuttle for hazard zone at the last second and I get "terminated" (instakilled by a bug with the chopper)

I thought they fixed this man....\

[kindred flint]

youre the dude?

the one left playing hazard zone?

[lime torrent]

It's legitimately fun sometimes ngl

[magic bloom]

Do ammo box resupplies count for angels T1?

[pine roost]

man hope they push a fix for these crashes on alt tab

gets really annoying

[tame vine]

just use borderless window mode

[chilly jacinth]

i haven't crashed by alt tabbing

must be a skill issue

[magic bloom]

I wanna put together a vault weapon lmg only support class to use with angel since he’s the ammo guy

[kindred flint]

xm8 gang

[crimson spade]

op gun fr

[hallow sierra]

playing kal as defense isnt worth it

[pine roost]

did they buff the ak?

it has like zero recoil now

i mean

[kindred flint]

youre using streamer FOV settings

[pine roost]

I am on 94 actually

Can’t remember when I did that

[kindred flint]

I wouldnt say its more op compared to the avancy or lcmg...but its the most useable all the time out of the rest of the vault lmgs and i love the fast reload

[crimson spade]

yeah its not bad, I use it commonly its a sick gun

[kindred flint]

just wish it had more fucking customization options lol...

[crimson spade]

If you run into someone in close quarters it wont take long to get into scope mode compared to other guns

[pine roost]

Sorry whoever it was I told to use 73, I was wrong

[kindred flint]

i run the irons on it because i dont like the red dot

o sorry

[calm bison]

Got two boxes of 12 cans of Dr Pepper for Christmas

So I got 24 cans of Dr Pepper rn

And this shit is fire

[trim cloud]

How do people get on top of the buildings in assault on nordik

i keep dying to snipers there

[kindred flint]

mackay, parachute from a heli, or use a rams spawn beacon to parachute to it

[trim cloud]

No helis on this map

I tried to get up there with mackayh but the grapple isn't long enough for the sides

rams beacon?

[solar obsidian]

you not supposed to drink them all at once

[kindred flint]

you get to the 2nd fan and can grapple up to it

[calm bison]

Watch me

[kindred flint]

the 4 wheeled scout vehicle ram, can place down a spawn beacon for the whole team to select and you start in your parachute like 500m up

[solar obsidian]

when your guts so filled with air you start to lift off

[trim cloud]

Oh TIL that must be how they're doing it. Ugh

[trim cloud]

Is mackay actually able to climb the thing tho

[kindred flint]

yes, the fan you can go through to get into the above floor area of the capture points, there is a 2nd fan above that with another useless cat walk that goes to no where...you can get up on that one then grapple again to the roof

[pine roost]

Back on the sniper rampage

[trim cloud]

I tried from the inside a tthe top fan, but couldnt figure out how to get to roof from the inside

[kindred flint]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KyA-aizof0 or i guess this way

[topaz field]

smh i hope we get a decent aim update soon for console's

[trim cloud]

yay ty

[trim cloud]

No way, aim assist ruined cod.

Just plugin a mouse and keyboard

What scope levels give glint?

[warm estuary]

Guys quick question,
I was watching this guy names Silk on Twitch. He was going ham with the MD540. Now I saw that he shot down the liz missile using the minguns on the nightbird. Can you only shoot down liz missiles or everything? Like the tank cannon missiles, wildcat ones?

[trim cloud]

I thought most missles can be shot no?

[eager spire]

no, only lis missiles can be shot down.

[warm estuary]

Idk man I'm new. Bought the game few weeks back and I didnt know missiles could be shot down until I watched Silk

[pine roost]

You can

I shoot down incoming missiles when I’m near a friendly tank

[kindred flint]

i know specifically lis's can...didnt know about the others

lis has the red "shoot me" warning box when its coming at you

[warm estuary]

Is it? Never noticed. All I get is "Incoming missile" in a red font box

[kindred flint]

in a vehicle at least

[warm estuary]

Yeah in a vehicle of course

Idk man gonna have to try this out tmw in game. People here have different answers

If I can shoot missiles then it makes it so much more easier to defend myself when I have no flares or cover near me

[kindred flint]

on the nightbird you can rock side to side to evade AA missiles...because reasons

[remote kiln]

it can be shot down via any projectile, a minigun/rocket/turret/infrantry/bullet etc will shoot it down

you can't shoot down enemy vehicle rockets, only lis's

[tribal anchor]

hello?

[stable iris]

Thought the chat wasn't empty

[tribal anchor]

if i get this game will i get clapped on right away?

or are there like easier modes

[stable iris]

Just imagine cod but with vehicles and big maps with squad mates

[tribal anchor]

is every single mode real player or are there bot controlled players

and what is the best bf in your opinion

[stable iris]

You do have three modes, battlefield 2042, then the battle royale I never heard of people playing and then you get portal mode which is like halos forge but bf related

[tribal anchor]

sorry for all the questions but i’ve been interested in getting this for a while

[stable iris]

inside bf2042 you got conquest, and then breakthrough which is conquest but you push through couple objectives at a time with defenders pushing and then I forgot the rest

for breakthrough it's only 64 players but conquest is 128 players

[remote kiln]

you don't need to buy the game it's free via Xbox game pass

just get it through that

[stable iris]

You could, but I dunno if he has that

15 dollars for bf 2042

[tribal anchor]

i don’t have xbox game pass, just gold

and what is the best battlefield game?

[stable iris]

for bf fans usually, bf1 or bf4 or bfv depends on what you like

[tribal anchor]

is 2042 the newest?

[stable iris]

ww1 game or ww2 with some great squad feature or bf4 which is a modern warfare game

2042 is the newest but its mixed as it has problems

[tribal anchor]

is there a new one coming?

[stable iris]

No but it's getting updates

[tribal anchor]

oh ok i might actually get it

[silk surge]

Breaking chokepoints as Dozer

[pastel crescent]

2042 is not as bad as people make it seem since the last few updates it's actually a really good game and even better when you have a good aquad

[pine roost]

I still seem to get infuriated every time I play

[remote kiln]

specialists bad

[pine roost]

Mortar shots, jeeps with 50mm cannons, transports. But at least the gunplay is good

[wide shore]

So is tomorrows mode actually just rush?

[arctic grove]

It’s not just bugs

[wide shore]

I think a lot of peoples issues will be at least mildly squashed after next update.

Since it’ll be introducing the class system back

[pastel crescent]

i feel most of the bugs have been taken care of

[arctic grove]

There’s the occasional monthly bugs but it’s otherwise fine in that domain now

Or so at least for me and other console lads

[grizzled blaze]

i like these people in conquest for nordvik who keep running at a firing line like lemmings

my guys

if youre not breaking the wall with your head

either stop or find a different way

[arctic grove]

It’s dem christmas nubs

[grizzled blaze]

true

[cloud cypress]

Guys is the online mode active still or nah because im planning to buy Battlefield V or 2042. Which ones better?

[topaz field]

im on ps4 sir

[magic bloom]

Mortar shots are just the new flak cannon

[arctic grove]

It will get even better with the upcoming class system

[grizzled blaze]

2042 is but i remember bfv as well

[cloud cypress]

Which one would u recommend?

And is it still active?

[grizzled blaze]

idk your device but check steamcharts anyways its usually alwayd a really good litmus test for popularity

[hexed mango]

g'day

[grizzled blaze]

i cant really recommend one over the other

BFV is dropped which means it still has bugs and missing content that was clearly going to be added

it will never get updated unless DICE decides to actually finish it

2042 is getting constant updates and fixes

but the gameplay of V just feels better to me

[hexed mango]

idk i never found a groove in v

[wide shore]

Loved V a lot

But I’m pretty sure that Panzerbuche glitch will exist in it forever now

[arctic grove]

Until next year when they abandon the game too

[white geyser]

I wish they add the contents they still haven’t add for 2042

[arctic grove]

We can hope those will be implemented in the next bf game.

[white geyser]

I want the rework of co-op to make it online matchmaking with content for BF 2042.

[grizzled blaze]

itd be nice if ea/dice would just let devs fix and finish battlefront 2 and bfv

[dapper river]

BFV is dead during prime primetime in the US (6pm-7pm) but it pops off in Eastern Europe prime time. Wonder why!

[grizzled blaze]

what timezone and what device bro you need to specify

[dapper river]

I assume PC lol

[grizzled blaze]

seeing people go NO WAIT BFV WAS GOOD ACTUALLY after lambasting it for years was funny

[median tusk]

Will happen with 2042 aswell

just a pipeline the battlefield community is dammed to fall into

[dapper river]

Same. I continue to lambast it because I am a man of integrity

[grizzled blaze]

based

gameplay wise i feel like cod players are somehow more intelligent on average than battlefield ones

literally just had a conquest nordvik match where literally the ENTIRE TEAM stood on one point

[dapper river]

One feature I wish they had ported over from BFV was taking ammo and med supplies from support players, instead of needing to beg and getting ignored

[grizzled blaze]

yeah

[solid plume]

every bf title ends that way

[grizzled blaze]

nah BF1 was praised

[median tusk]

BF1 beta lol

[grizzled blaze]

best bit of BFV was construction bring that back

[eager spire]

Pacific was good, but it didn't fix the issues BFV had. Nothing will.

[grizzled blaze]

never played

[eager spire]

People just forget the issues a game had after it's lifetime.

[grizzled blaze]

the main killer for me is just the vehicle count and the killcam feed being so fucking long

[eager spire]

People act like BF1 is the best BF game, it's not. It was the beginning of the end.

[dapper river]

BF1 was praised because it wasn't COD Infinite Warfare lol. I didn't like it because it wasn't 2143, which had been teased throughout BF3 and BF4's life

[grizzled blaze]

its BATTLEFIELD i want to use vehicles ffs

[grizzled blaze]

infinite warfare rocked im still salty cod fans whined over it

[eager spire]

Infinite Warfare was okay. was the weakest of the jetpack CoD's in my honest opinion.

[grizzled blaze]

one of the most disliked videos on youtube for a game the cod community now praises as one of the best in the franchise

[grizzled blaze]

nah AW

[median tusk]

The last CoD i played was black ops II before i ever played the series again with MWII 2022

[grizzled blaze]

2042 i feel is fine

bfv is fine but with glaring issues

[dapper river]

Well Infinity Ward was shot in the foot because the two CoDs released before them (Advanced Warfare, BO III) were generally poorly received, and they didn't have a chance to do their take on "future warfare" before the reputation surrounding those games had been sullied

[grizzled blaze]

BF1 was great all around

[eager spire]

AW was conceptually fine. It had fast movement that had a skill gap. It just had weapon variants, supply drops, SBMM, and a PC port that was ass.

[grizzled blaze]

yeah but the setting was great

[eager spire]

No it wasn't.

[grizzled blaze]

bad taste sorry

never played 4

unironically loved hardline and i feel bad

[eager spire]

BF4 had it's issues. Hardline was good, played very similarly to BF4.

there has never been a Battlefield game without some major flaw or issues.

[median tusk]

A friend of mine gave me a EA play code last christmas and i played bf4 trough it for a bit, let me say its a bit too glorified but still fun as shit

[grizzled blaze]

1942 i still feel is the gold standard, we need maps that big with that many vehicles again

[dapper river]

BF4 had major issues at launch that persisted well into the game's first year

And they even had the gall to sell Premium and paid DLC packs before the netcode issues were fixed lol

[tribal anchor]

@stable iris

guess who’s gonna start clapping y’all

[eager spire]

?

[tribal anchor]

oh wait i can’t send pictures

[magic yoke]

Is Bf2042 just a worse version of that launch

[tribal anchor]

i got bf 2042 😁

[magic yoke]

Or are they working to fix the game

[median tusk]

they are, well somewhat

[magic yoke]

Sick

[dapper river]

It at least didn't have terrible rubberbanding issues (it still did, but only in specific scenarios like getting shot with the 30mm)

[remote kiln]

absolutely not lol

you couldn't even play multiplayer in bf4 without being disconnected mid match & ^ the rubberbanding

[eager spire]

2042 has gotten better from launch, there are fundamental issues that still haven't been fixed. Input is still fucked, there is an active recoil bug that's been in the game since before it came out.

[magic yoke]

In bf4?

[remote kiln]

yes

[magic yoke]

Oh ok

Damn

[magic yoke]

Sounds good to me tho

[dapper river]

God, black screen of death with the stupid flashing square in the top right for "loading" that never completes, it haunts me

[arctic grove]

never had any issues with any battlefield game tbh, literally my favourite series lol

[remote kiln]

then you drop through the map

[arctic grove]

reliable fun and always playable for me

[median tusk]

You could call yourself lucky

[arctic grove]

[dapper river]

Or I just don't load at all and have to alt+F4. man, battlelog sucked

[remote kiln]

folk who've never had issues never played any on launch, they're the smart people

[median tusk]

when i played the 2042 beta it blue screen'd me and almost corrupted my fucking ssd

[arctic grove]

every battlefield I've owned has been on the xbox, aside from battlefield 1

[eager spire]

i mean, i feel like fundamental issues with gunplay and how you control the game shouldn't be considered acceptable, especially this far into the game's life.

[remote kiln]

don't worry now you can't even use battlelog because of all the botted servers!

[arctic grove]

played all of em through beta, loved them all

[magic yoke]

Yeah thats kind of a stinker

[eager spire]

Not using BetterBattlelog
Not checking the server pages before joining a server to see if there are actually people in it

at that point you're just trolling yourself mate.

it's not that hard to avoid the problem, it's just the nature of the server browser, people don't join empty servers.

That's how it is.

[remote kiln]

yeah but that's not the point lol

[magic yoke]

Do they plan on adding the older squad mechanics in bf2042

[remote kiln]

if you mean perks it's not planned

[eager spire]

What's the point then

it's not like it's preventing you from playing the game.

[median tusk]

Squadmates are just spawn beacons rn

[chilly jacinth]

always have been

[remote kiln]

see the comment about battlelog not the game

[chilly jacinth]

since 99% of them are useless otherwise

[median tusk]

true

[magic yoke]

Like commander and squad leader and stuff

Like point system

[eager spire]

i saw the comment about Battlelog. Honestly, i've never had that issue. When it comes to botted servers, that's just how it is. Like I said, people don't join empty servers. People actively filter out empty servers. So how else are server owners supposed to fill servers?

[arctic grove]

I want commander back

[magic yoke]

Same bro

[remote kiln]

sorry no you can't defend this practice lol

it's active deception to the playerbase

[chilly jacinth]

matchmaking system superior it seems

[remote kiln]

and I don't blame server owners I blame DICE for doing fuck all about it

[chilly jacinth]

[median tusk]

People still want a server browser it seems

then again if they re implement it this issue will be widespread

[chilly jacinth]

Then we go back to playing on just 2-3 maps

i dont miss that

[arctic grove]

I mean, server browser will help alot if the stupid servers keep putting on the same damn 3 maps over and over.

[median tusk]

certified hourglass moment

[remote kiln]

it's so sad that we have a fully active script editor now and the most people use portal for is xp farming

[eager spire]

Frankly, I feel like without it, community servers would have a hard time being filled, because like i said, people don't join empty servers. Unless a group has a large enough user base to populate a server, then it would be practically impossible to do so naturally, and would lead to a lot of servers being shut down because why pay for a server that's not getting used.

[arctic grove]

laughs in offline play

[remote kiln]

what a travesty

[arctic grove]

I get breakaway, discarded, hourglass.

[median tusk]

blame that on the people

[remote kiln]

yeah of course it would, that still has no active justification for deceiving players, as soon as they see it's actually empty they leave anyways and it just frustrates them even more

[eager spire]

It's not like server owners want to do that, but there's no other option really.

[remote kiln]

yeah that's why I said it's DICEs issue

[arctic grove]

who tf plays battlefield offline???

[next onyx]

More player choice.

People want to play the maps they like.

If you force your system to make players play shitty maps then why the fuck.

[arctic grove]

I just feel bad for all the good dlc maps that are niglected

[eager spire]

yeah, but say DICE fixed it, I feel like any fix that would impact this would only be detrimental to server owners. Unless they just make it so you can't filter out empty servers anymore.

[next onyx]

I forget that exposure is a thing.

[eager spire]

HEY, BF1

[remote kiln]

honestly I could care less about the impact on server owners when it's just straight lying to the playerbase

[next onyx]

Bf4's server browser on PC is scuffed.

[eager spire]

i care cause those are literally the only people keeping BF4 alive at the moment, in case you haven't noticed.

[next onyx]

No one wants that.

[remote kiln]

and I really don't care if they need to shutdown their servers for it, it's unethical and straight deception

[eager spire]

Oh my fucking god dude.

[hexed mango]

[remote kiln]

why is that an issue?

should we have botted playercounts on the server screen too?

it helps the game stay alive after all

[supple dawn]

i have a question

[hexed mango]

idk whats happening rn but pray for me yall i just got queued into hourglass

[remote kiln]

sure what's the question

[chilly jacinth]

just let bf4 die tbh

its what the world wants

[median tusk]

you're about to get butchered friend, not by me though

[supple dawn]

so im on xbox series s should i upgrade to series x because of the improvements to games especially 2042

[remote kiln]

my answer is yes but mainly because you can't play with newer gen or pc on the older console

[eager spire]

i disagree.

[hexed mango]

i would just let bf4 do its thing

[supple dawn]

series s is new gen tho

[chilly jacinth]

Series is the new console

[hexed mango]

seeing as i dont care

[median tusk]

You should, but you don't need to

tbh use whats comfy to you

[remote kiln]

oh series s misread

x is sorta? an upgrade I suppose, you'll be hard pressed to notice it unless your TV is high end

unless there's a game with a sig difference already

[supple dawn]

the x is the s bigger brother

[remote kiln]

yeah I know I'd just say unless there's a specific reason the upgrade is questionable

[hexed mango]

i mean if specifically for 2042, probably shouldnt waste the money
if for more things that you need, the maybe, but imo probably not worth it

[remote kiln]

you'll have better performance but if you'll notice is I'm not so sure

[arctic grove]

no shit

[hexed mango]

people with no internet

[median tusk]

Ok but who buys a online game when you have no internet

[arctic grove]

and don't want to deal with multiplayer cesspool of toxicity

[supple dawn]

i thought they usually preform the same 🥺

[hexed mango]

to play offline lol

[remote kiln]

they do but it's specifically with performance stability (x is far better), it has higher resolutions in other games too, but it's not an upgrade I'd personally do

if you're happy with the s right now just keep it

[median tusk]

Talking about upgrades, should i upgrade my ryzen 5 3400g for a 5600x specifically for battlefield?

[remote kiln]

x3d

skip the 5600x

[arctic grove]

chuckles in 1600

[median tusk]

i would if my motherboard supported AM5

[remote kiln]

the 5800x3d is AM4

it's not AM5

[cyan trout]

Should never upgrade just for one game unless that's all you play

[median tusk]

hmm

[median tusk]

ah

[arctic grove]

brother, mine keeps above 60 for most of the time

[median tusk]

I am able to stay at 70 sometimes but it takes a heavy dip to 40 on low

or 50 at most

[arctic grove]

what's your setting

mine is all low

[next onyx]

All on high.

[median tusk]

everything low except for texture filtering

[remote kiln]

the 5800x3d will be a very significant difference on what you're on now

[next onyx]

And I get 145 frames constantly.

[arctic grove]

and is the game on SSD

[remote kiln]

anything else isn't worth buying

[hexed mango]

https://youtu.be/nXUwPP7tK4I?t=135
2042 clips in gamers are awesome

[median tusk]

NVME m.2

[next onyx]

Yeah it's on my 980.

[arctic grove]

ah

[next onyx]

Wait.

I thought you were asking me sorry about that!

[hexed mango]

i get 150fps

common way L

[next onyx]

EEE

[hexed mango]

AAA

[next onyx]

Oh yeah.

[median tusk]

y'all got some lucky performance

[next onyx]

How's your 10700?

[median tusk]

im on a 2060

[hexed mango]

its doing well actually.

[next onyx]

Is it not being strangled?

[hexed mango]

not as much as previously

[next onyx]

That's really good to hear.

[magic yoke]

Damn mckay got that mcCake

[hexed mango]

getting high 80s in util, mid 80s for temp and about 150fps

[next onyx]

I'd play battlefield right now but it's due to hit 38C today so that's a big NO.

[hexed mango]

aussie moment

i got a pic to send you

[next onyx]

If I reduce my graphics a bit I can get more frames.

But!

It looks pretty!

And I get decent frames.

[hexed mango]

same same

[median tusk]

whats your system specs?

[next onyx]

Think he has a 10700 with a 3070?

[median tusk]

ah

[subtle raptor]

Are reports manually reviewed due to the small player size or are they mostly ignored

[magic yoke]

Porbally done by a bot

[median tusk]

done by a bot

[subtle raptor]

Woukd they get a warning or instaban

[median tusk]

wait @next onyx I had HBAOFull on

im smooth brain

[magic yoke]

Why are there so many xp farms

[median tusk]

people have no creativity

[magic yoke]

Makes sense

But why cheat when you already level up pretty fast

[median tusk]

Yes

[magic yoke]

Guh?

[median tusk]

What

[magic yoke]

What

[median tusk]

Ok

[magic yoke]

Hello

[median tusk]

Hi

[magic yoke]

Ok

[median tusk]

Ok

[magic yoke]

Goodbye

[hexed mango]

yes

[trim cloud]

The excodus conquest is much better than 128 modes

[timid inlet]

I dont ever want to experience 128 clusterfuck

64 is fine

[kindred flint]

229 score vs 146-129-94 on the team gee why did we lose

63-14-40 assists 21 caps.....

4 people on the team with double digit caps on the scoreboard...gotta love it

and apparently i unlocked the true crimes player card...in renewal exodus????

guess the game thought I was killing 1942 enemies based off how shit they were

[trim cloud]

Yo, I sat on an EBAA all game, and the enemy had zero air the entire game, the two jets and heli top scored haha

underrated support

pew pew

[subtle raptor]

Fuck you I hate wildcat players

Anyone know why I was just able to lock on to an enemy heli while in a nightbird using atg missiles

[eager spire]

haha AA go brrr

[kindred flint]

did a soflam lock onto it?

[subtle raptor]

How can I tell

I don't know if it did

[idle siren]

Is there a subreddit for finding friends to play with?

[hexed mango]

there's channels here

#lfg-crossplay

[kindred flint]

did it have a yellow box on it? that means a soflam has locked onto it and missiles that normally cant lock on will now

so perhaps it works the same with atg from a heli?

[subtle raptor]

Yep it was yellow thanks for helping me with that

Happened before but I never knew why

[hexed mango]

an air enemy? or ground enemy?

cause i mean ground would be normal
but air would yeah have to be soflam

[kindred flint]

soflaming casper drones is

....can you m5 rocket that?

[subtle raptor]

Air enemy

Ok now I got another question, what's the best lmg to use as a heli gunner

Like to sit in the passenger seat and shoot out the side with

[idle siren]

How many bot accounts are online?

[hexed mango]

i mean lcmg and avancys are great

pkp probs has too much recoil

[hexed mango]

there are AI ingame, denoted with [AI] at the end of their name, but i dont believe there are "bot" accounts so to speak

[kindred flint]

yeah ima just keep it real with you dawg, no lmg is good in that situation

because you wont find a heli pilot worth a shit to keep it steady

[radiant prism]

LCMG, M60 or M240B are probably your best bets

But yeah it’s rare that you’ll be able to do much

[subtle raptor]

If I have someone sitting in passenger seat with repair tool on a heli or condor I'd rather them have a really shitty gun than no gun at all

[kindred flint]

be me...spawn in the side door slot on a heli just as a rocket hits it..and i die to splash damage, but the heli flies away

[hexed mango]

yes

[arctic grove]

What prompts you to ask this?

[subtle raptor]

I wish you could walk around inside the condor like the transport helicopter in cod

[idle siren]

@arctic grove EA never had success with the launch & losing competition to mw2 figured they would load up AI.

Sill ? But what is LV?

[kindred flint]

bots would explain my last team he might be onto something

[arctic grove]

What EA game resulted to botting it’s online playercount because failure?

[hexed mango]

mw2 came out long after their launch

and when mw2 did come out, there were more players in 2042 than the pre season after launch

[arctic grove]

Because apparently any Battlefield game will genuinely contend with CoD games numbers

[idle siren]

Steam shows 6.6k people playing. Mw2 180,000.

[hexed mango]

also plus the game recently was on sale, its now on gamepass and ea play, and there was a free weekend. a lot of players are new.

[hexed mango]

steam says 11k

peak

[subtle raptor]

I mean mw2 went from like 500k to around 200k so they're not 100% successful either

[idle siren]

Is lv a game mode?

[arctic grove]

500k to 200k doesn’t indicate failure

That’s just launch to post launch numbers for any game

[hexed mango]

where did you hear lv?

[arctic grove]

Game player counts are always going to be higher at and immediately after launch. Then significantly drop off

[kindred flint]

next we look at the population of ....oh my god i cant even think of the fucking dark souls game that came out

[subtle raptor]

I know, I'm just saying that battlefield isn't the only one with a big drop in players

Players don't matter as long as lobbies fill up and they do

[hexed mango]

also mw2 and 2042 are very different games

[pine roost]

Mw2 is an awful game anyway

[subtle raptor]

Hell I was still playing Titanfall 2 on Xbox even though it's got like 1k peak players on steam or something

[kindred flint]

yo mw2 weapon attachment system is the goat though

the only game that doesnt make you waste time unlocking upgrades because theyre really downgrades

[hexed mango]

mw2 looks amazing as well, and the animations are amazing

but the battlepass is shitty

[pine roost]

Conceptually yes, but when running no attachments is better than one decked out you’ve done something wrong

[hexed mango]

and its not a very "longevity"-esk game

[kindred flint]

100% the gun animations are top tier..at least those devs care

[subtle raptor]

Itd look better if there was more than just brown and black maps

Get some green and blue

[hexed mango]

it can be boring sometimes, but yeah the attachment quality is weird. the attachment system is great, but the attachments themselves are bs

[kindred flint]

the ground war mode doesnt look visually good from what ive seen of it

[hexed mango]

i never played

[arctic grove]

You’re going to spend a lot of time preaiming if you really want to go positive anyways

The ADS speed penalty imo are not exactly my most disliked part about the system

[hexed mango]

invasion was kinda boring ngl

it just doesnt feel as good as the other parts of the game

im also not a major warzone fan but thats just me

i had fun in the shoot house or whatever its called

[kindred flint]

BRs are trash

[pine roost]

It’s got an extremely over the top decoupling from screen centre when firing which I’ve never seen anywhere else besides tarkov

[kindred flint]

lets start the revolution

[arctic grove]

At least for my playstyle anyways… you can’t really play too aggressively, so I’ve just bit the bullet and I play sentinel now

[subtle raptor]

Brs can be ok but it's just stale atp

[hexed mango]

i liked the main game tho, i just really hate the BP system

overall a 7/10 game

[arctic grove]

Also I hear you Joe about the player count drop argument, that was more so addressed to the other guy too, people shat on the games decline from 100k like the game wasn’t new at launch night and it’s been a few weeks since (in context of 2042 launch)

[hexed mango]

2042 launched like shit
S3 is what it shoulda been at launch and 3.2 is probably an even better place
but those kids on steam and reddit wont dare give it a second chance

[arctic grove]

Nah they won’t

I did the same thing with V

[hexed mango]

exactly

[kindred flint]

3.2 is how it should have launched

[arctic grove]

So I know for sure they won’t

[hexed mango]

i gave cb77 a second chance, shit was great

[arctic grove]

That post launch wildfire fuckin spreads man

[kindred flint]

specifically the pseudo classes system

[arctic grove]

Then you get people who come in here about “haha dev said Halo killed gaem” bro we been over that shit for like 5+ months

[subtle raptor]

Never should have had specialists just give us 2 gadgets and a skill we can pick

[kindred flint]

i still have to play through 2077 again on a new life path (which are virtually the same devs hyped the shit outta that one..) before the expansion

[arctic grove]

Agreed

[pine roost]

If it released as it is now, I would have been more inclined to play it. Still needs a lot of work but at least it’s a functional game now, with input that actually works

[kindred flint]

speaking of halo...how that game pop doing?

[hexed mango]

yeah specialists was a bad choice. its good to see that 3.2 is trying in a sense to fix it, and hopefully BF7 or whatever will rectify it

[arctic grove]

It was

I think they’ll just always hold the game back

[subtle raptor]

Agreed bf doesn't work as a hero shooter

[hexed mango]

i concur.

[subtle raptor]

But if they wanted to do it they shouldn't have done it so half assed

Like do a hero shooter or don't ffs

[hexed mango]

i think (specifically for this game, please never in the future) specialists can work if done right, like hopefully with 3.2
but future games should be classes.

[arctic grove]

I always used to say how much more I’d fucking love 2042 if I felt like a nobody in the middle of the battles. Not Irish No. 14

[kindred flint]

pretty sure this is going to be my last BF game...im old, washed up

[arctic grove]

It’s just weird how it’s done now but I don’t know how it could be better if we’re still keeping unique characters

[kindred flint]

ive played all but the console only games + 2142

[subtle raptor]

Just have 128 different heros easy solution

[arctic grove]

just give it 6 more years

it'll get there

[arctic grove]

You will play forever

[subtle raptor]

I wish

[ebon pilot]

define old

[subtle raptor]

I'm never not going to be mad that they're not even giving all classes the same amount of specialists

[kindred flint]

im not a zoomer

[subtle raptor]

Like they can't come up with 2 more???

[arctic grove]

I can’t be too mad at specialists cause I know why they did it yknow

Like, the moners

[ebon pilot]

that's not old, that's at least a few years older than me

wait

[arctic grove]

And they’re willing to concede on what we want if it gives them more dolans

[kindred flint]

now that they are going to a "class system" evening out the numbers in each class would be aesthetically pleasing

[subtle raptor]

Yep

[magic bloom]

My speculation is that if this game ends up doing well we might get even more

[kindred flint]

but realistically "haha medics get shit on because you already had a revive trait"

[subtle raptor]

They said that next one is gonna be last though

And s5 might be the last season

Apparently

[magic bloom]

I mean plenty of companies go back on decisions like that

[kindred flint]

yeah but this company pulled support for bfv which was objectively a better game

[ebon pilot]

maybe they'll add more less frequently than once per season like once per year

[magic bloom]

That’s what I’m saying

[subtle raptor]

Maybe but I doubt it it's probably all hands on deck for bf7 after s5

[next onyx]

I want this game to be supported because I find it fun but they really need to a game to have a decent start.

A game that isn't shit from the get go.

[arctic grove]

Y2 has vague wording and could mean anything from 4 seasons to just 1 big content update

[magic bloom]

Never played bfv

[kindred flint]

...how dare you

[arctic grove]

I was only interested in portal

I only have 10 hours in it

[subtle raptor]

Yeah portal too

[hexed mango]

there will be no more specialists after S4

[arctic grove]

It’s that bought the game 2 yrs after it came out effect

[subtle raptor]

They could relaunch that as it's own game make a trillion dollars

[kindred flint]

i mean being interested in portal is a better option than being excited for hazard zone

[arctic grove]

well not bought I got it for free with PS plus

Strangely enough same thing with BF1 but I ended up dumping 100 hrs into it

[arctic grove]

kind of like one of those games like arma 3

[slender hare]

It's fun but I don't feel ww2 in it.. 😐

[arctic grove]

where the mod creativity is endless

[subtle raptor]

Yep exactly

[arctic grove]

then that means

[subtle raptor]

I'd love that

[arctic grove]

AI bot support

[magic bloom]

I feel like this game would be extremely successful if they gave out portal for free and charged for AOW

[kindred flint]

you better not say bf1 felt like ww1...bitch when was the last time you saw someone running into the front line with a fully automatic weapon smh

[slender hare]

....

[hexed mango]

yeah no

[kindred flint]

hazard zone (br) for free would have made sense

[slender hare]

Nice name

[magic bloom]

Does anyone actually play hazard zone

[arctic grove]

why pay for AOW when i can play Portal for free?

Portal being free isn’t a good idea but HZ would have been

HZ should be free tbh

You can literally just make 2042 in portal

Just HZ

[magic bloom]

My point exactly portal is a better mode than AOW most of the time

[arctic grove]

Mmm I see your point

[arctic grove]

100%

[subtle raptor]

Aow should be done away with and portal should be pushed as the main mode

[slender hare]

Why is cod even successful? I mean large scales battles (battlefield) are a lot more fun ngl

[arctic grove]

AOW is pretty simple. But with Portal it’s that simple basic conquest and other game modes, plus creative freedom to do more

[subtle raptor]

Casual players/bots

[arctic grove]

[magic bloom]

Because people don’t wanna cope with the fact it’s gotten not fun

[arctic grove]

cuz cod knows how to do a decent live service with alot of content

[slender hare]

Oh

Ok

[arctic grove]

I mean, you can reverse the logic too

swbf2 and bfv live service was horrible

Why would I want to run around a large map with no real routes to learn when I can just play in the opposite on CoD?

[slender hare]

Sadly

[hexed mango]

they obviously dont seeing how shit they designed their battle pass to be

[slender hare]

I see..

[arctic grove]

Battlefield for larger scale vehicle and infantry combat + destruction

CoD for small scale intense infantry combat

[subtle raptor]

The only time small player modes work is when it's less then 6 players per team anything other than that and you should just make it as big as possible

[slender hare]

Anyway playing both is cool 🙂

[arctic grove]

bring back commander mode and gunship

Make the gun ship competent too

[slender hare]

Yes def

[arctic grove]

They just get shit on in 4 anymore

[subtle raptor]

You gotta think it boils down to how much your going to be encountering players, it's almost the same for both games assuming you play aggressive

[kindred flint]

saw a hell let loose clip yesterday of a commander playing frontline in a jeep...round was over in 3 mins

[arctic grove]

make it like bf3

[slender hare]

Is week 2 of the event out?

[arctic grove]

Is it op in 3? I haven’t played too much bf3 multiplayer personally

[hexed mango]

in a few hours

[arctic grove]

judging from gameplay videos and one person commentating

ye

those small rounds that fires millions per round has splash damage

[slender hare]

Cool, I wanna see that ''retribution'', aka operations

[arctic grove]

bf3 and bf4 are fun for modern combat. But 2 will always be my favorite

I suppose there isn't any single player / ai bot mods for bf2?

if you will

[slender hare]

Never played all of those 😭

[hexed mango]

its rush

[slender hare]

Rip

[hexed mango]

what

its rush

16v16

[arctic grove]

and is it possible to play as commander in 2 offline?

[slender hare]

Ok

[hexed mango]

next week is BT 128p

[slender hare]

16v16 is looking bad

[subtle raptor]

Wow I just looked at the modes available in portal and it's garbage that's crazy

[arctic grove]

Yeah not sure why name it "retribution".

[arctic grove]

🔥

[hexed mango]

it should really be 32v32 rush if they want to make it special

[kindred flint]

next week cash me outside trying to speed run that weeks ribbons to get out of that mode faster

[slender hare]

''New'' content 😭

[arctic grove]

Yeah good luck fooling the fanbase

[slender hare]

But brkt 128..... can't wait for this chaos

[arctic grove]

Same

[subtle raptor]

50 kills a game

[kindred flint]

4 teammates trying to capture the remaining point from 64 enemies pog lets goooooo

[arctic grove]

128 rush being an ordinary weekly rotated portal game mode and 128 BT not being a limited time AOW game mode pisses me off

[slender hare]

Btw why is brkt 64 players rn? Feels like wasting an opportunity

[subtle raptor]

BT isn't in portal

[arctic grove]

128bt used to be a thing

[hexed mango]

cause 128p was too chaotic apparently

[subtle raptor]

It's just conquest, conquest large and rush

[hexed mango]

stupid dice logic

[arctic grove]

Clarification: limited time AOW mode

Iirc, those existed before S1 too

[hexed mango]

and all the custom modes
tdm, ground & air supremacy

[slender hare]

How can Bf be too chaotic???

[arctic grove]

wow I’m dumb

It’s called exodus conquest Levi

Of course AOW has limited time game modes

[hexed mango]

exactly. its stupid logic.

[subtle raptor]

So tdm, tdm and tdm??

They're almost all the same

Well

[hexed mango]

well tdm but tanks
tdm but air vehicles

[arctic grove]

“128bt is too hectic”

“..btw y’all want some 128 rush?”

[subtle raptor]

Some of those are point capture but they play the same

Conquest assault should definitely be in portal I'd love to play that on literally any more other than spearhead

[arctic grove]

BRO EXACTLY. WTF IS THE DIFFERENCE?

[slender hare]

I started to play Bf a year ago and I still don't get the purpose of the specialists

[subtle raptor]

I don't think anyone really does

[slender hare]

😂

[arctic grove]

It was made to make money

sell you fortnut skin

[slender hare]

True

[slender hare]

Like ur pfp

[arctic grove]

to make the game feel like siege / valorant

isn't it obvious

[arctic grove]

Santa Boris is based tho. So was Angel Elf

[slender hare]

Sadly true

[arctic grove]

if this is the future of BF

OW moment

oh boy

I will never be happy again

[slender hare]

When EA feels like Bf would flop XD

[subtle raptor]

Siege style wouldn't be bad if they committed to it and actually balanced it

That's just me though

[arctic grove]

hell, I even prefer the older siege

the new is so full of shit

[arctic grove]

All EA has to do now is sell us a BF game on the premise of “we heard your feedback and learned with this game”

[slender hare]

Devs said no

[subtle raptor]

Oh yeah it gets worse every update but I don't think that having very specific kits is inherently bad

Obviously locking the guns wouldn't work

[slender hare]

Imagine BF2043, what 2042 SHOULD have been

[arctic grove]

Specific kits no but unique characters is the bad part unless they’re cosmetic

Because paid unique characters with gameplay stuff attached is typically gonna get mega backlash

[arctic grove]

A direct sequel to 2042 but good wouldn’t even be had imo

The theme still has massive potential

[slender hare]

Cuz 2042 had A LOT of potential

[subtle raptor]

That's what its gonna be

[arctic grove]

Just doesn’t need to be done with Specialists

[arctic grove]

Literally just

Copy BF3/4

That’s fucking it

But 2042 style maps and a tornado

[slender hare]

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING XDDDDDDD

[arctic grove]

AND include ALL DLC and sell it for 100 bucks. EASY GOLD MINE

[subtle raptor]

They fumbled hard I mean all they had to do was take bfv and add modern stuff to it

[slender hare]

You genius bro

[arctic grove]

[subtle raptor]

They literally made a whole new engine for 2042 didn't they

Probably why it took so long and gave us so little

[ebon pilot]

they had to overhaul frostbite to support some of the things in the game

[arctic grove]

Yup with interns and college grads who know little to none on the new engine

[subtle raptor]

What did they have to add that they couldn't have done before?

[brittle flame]

welcome all christmas nubs that are gonna make the game bad for the next couple weeks lol

[subtle raptor]

I mean I remember with dayz that a new engine fucks you up cause everything has to be redond

[arctic grove]

NGL the old bf maps in portal look nice in the new engine.

[subtle raptor]

So I wonder why they wanted to

[ebon pilot]

map size probably

[arctic grove]

Old gen partly messed it up too since it cant support 128p

So they had to deal with that too

[subtle raptor]

I've been saying with old gen they could've just had a 64 player playlist instead of separating it into 2 games

[arctic grove]

They keep fucking going and sitting in dark corners

nobody say skill issue

[arctic grove]

i bought the 100 dollar edition since it came with one and next gen game. I was only able to play for about 3 months last gen then i finally got the X and upgraded for free

[arctic grove]

Or proning in the back sniping or using an LMG

[arctic grove]

Definitely a skill issue

[hexed mango]

skill issue

[arctic grove]

[slender hare]

Imagine if they add bf1 and bf2142 stuff to portal, and for the trailer they make it so a ww1 soldier sees a titan from 2142, in the style of bf1 trailer. It would be cool ngl

[hexed mango]

they wont be adding more to portal
at any rate, they need to focus on aow (ik its RE) before working on more portal content.

[white geyser]

Probably season 5 they'll add portal content, because season 4 another AOW content

[arctic grove]

BRO if they added bf1 maps id make a real ww1 mode where everyone uses semi auto and snipers weapons only.

[subtle raptor]

They should copy and paste bf1 and bfv content into portal so it'll have more players

[arctic grove]

And 4 too tbh

[hexed mango]

not really how that works but ok

[white geyser]

I been saying add BF4 in the portal

[arctic grove]

I wish it were that simple but yeah.

[subtle raptor]

Yeah I know but adding bf1 and bfv would probably be a little easier than the old ones

I think you'd be able to reuse more stuff

[arctic grove]

Hardline in portal would be god send

[hexed mango]

their idea was probably to add games that arent really supported as much nowadays to portal, like bc2 and 1942
bf3 is still sorta popular but not really

[arctic grove]

Have the robbers fight off military personnel

[arctic grove]

Honestly there are more active players in 4 than 3

[white geyser]

Season 5 they better focus on portal update after they're done with AOW

[hexed mango]

ok? that supports what i said.

[subtle raptor]

For me the ideal thing would be not to have individual games in there just the content that they have, like you wouldn't have to chose between 1942 and bfv it would just be WW2 era

[arctic grove]

Im just restating what u said

[hexed mango]

no, more focus on aow > portal

[hexed mango]

why

[slender hare]

True, but I was just dreaming 🤤

[white geyser]

Yes they'll ran out of content in AOW you bozo

[hexed mango]

portal is only used for stupid shit anyways
no matter the cool content they could add, which would be cool, people are still gonna be fucking making xp servers and rush 128p hardcore 800% damage fast xp

[slender hare]

Good point

[white geyser]

Probably you suck at portal because you couldn't create your own custom matchup

[hexed mango]

me?

@white geyser

[subtle raptor]

If they actually supported portal (ie get rid of aow) then it would be good

[hexed mango]

uh

[subtle raptor]

What???

[hexed mango]

it would be stupid to remove aow
and that wouldnt help

[subtle raptor]

You can literally make the aow modes in portal there's no reason to split the matchmaking and player bass

[hexed mango]

yeah but people only use portal to farm xp for aow
or play stupid hc rush 128p on shit maps

[white geyser]

Yeah you, don't tell me you couldn't create your own custom matchup in the portal, you can make AOW modes in the portal
