[hexed mango]

i would wish aow had the server browser tho... which it would make sense to integrate into the portal one

huh

[subtle raptor]

Literally what I'm saying

[hexed mango]

im so confused now what are yall saying
i see and read the words but where is the "don't tell me you couldn't create your own custom matchup in the portal" coming from

[subtle raptor]

Or they can just remove xp from ai kills which is what they should've done to begin with

[hexed mango]

i dont think thats the issue

[subtle raptor]

Instead of removing it from portal modes entirely

[subtle raptor]

Then what is the issue?

[hexed mango]

the xp farming servers

[subtle raptor]

How do you think the xp farms work

[white geyser]

Portal they forgot to add breakthrough mode only other modes like conquest, rush, and custom mode they added last time like ground superiority and air superiority

[hexed mango]

people place a lot of ammo crates and fire their guns.

[ornate anvil]

looking for a couple people to play assault on PC PM me.

[subtle raptor]

A lot of them have ai just look at the names

And the description

[hexed mango]

ok...? im still confused as to where the "you cant create your own custom matchup..." came from

[hexed mango]

have you not seen an xp farm server

its just a server where a bunch of people sit in a circle and spam ammo boxes, to spam the "resupply" xp event

which gives you like 20xp per trigger

and they get like 100 triggers a minute

[subtle raptor]

I see it every time I look for 2042 air superiority you get more XP for killing ai than doing that

But either wah

I'm sure there is a way they can fix portal XP farms

[hexed mango]

yeah but the xp farm is passive, you dont really have to do much but hit a button once every few minutes

[white geyser]

are you trolling or what? I didn't say that

[arctic grove]

Dude that’s so fucking scummy lowkey lol

[subtle raptor]

But they're not going to because there's no player base

[hexed mango]

you said i said that... which is why im confused

[subtle raptor]

Cause everyone is in aow

[arctic grove]

Like, no judging to anyone. It’s just the fact that that’s possible

[hexed mango]

...

don't tell me you couldn't create your own custom matchup in the portal

im confused

and then this

[arctic grove]

Although at the same time people shouldn’t abuse a system then be upset when their exploit is patched. Like the launch xp nerf, which probably wasn’t entirely warranted but people cheesed through the launch content fucking easily

[white geyser]

Like do you know how to create custom matchup in the portal or not?

[hexed mango]

why would you think i wouldnt? i made a fucking chrome extension to write code for it ffs

[arctic grove]

[hexed mango]

ive spent way to much time on the damn website

[white geyser]

Also I said they'll ran out of content to add in AOW.

[hexed mango]

yeah but there's still a lot in portal they can add that they havent

like start adding some vehicles or smth
a-10 and shit would be epic

[arctic grove]

add vault vehicles

[hexed mango]

idk why the game doesnt have shit for content to begin with, which is another issue to talk about but ffs they have like 80 things they could add from portal

[arctic grove]

Imagine a B17 in aow

[hexed mango]

there's so many BF3 vehicles

[arctic grove]

pilot just goes 95-1

[white geyser]

Not all of them, one vehicle is missing

[hexed mango]

but tbh all the vault weapons (imo) are shit both in how they play compared to 2042 weapons but also how they feel visually/sound wise

[hexed mango]

i didnt say all of them... i just said there were alot

[arctic grove]

Their animations

Subpar

Sound design

Neutral on that one

[subtle raptor]

I agree so much, they just feel out of place

[arctic grove]

Visual recoil

Fucking terrible

[subtle raptor]

And their stats are awful

[hexed mango]

i mean 2042 animations since 3.1 tbh aren't the worst in the world, not amazing either, but better ig

[kindred flint]

portal and aow guns being fundamentally different from each other is also a major fuck up

[hexed mango]

fr

[kindred flint]

reeks of "who the fuck is managing this bullshit??"

[subtle raptor]

Like the poor groza it should be just as good as any other AK and it's fucking garbage

[kindred flint]

heads so far up their ass they arent on the same page

[hexed mango]

ong

[arctic grove]

That’s why the vault weapons after the ones added in S2 never excites me anymore

[hexed mango]

yeah fr

[arctic grove]

It’s something to tier 1 yeah but yknow

[kindred flint]

pistols are garbage af

[hexed mango]

yet you dont even get a skin

[arctic grove]

Also the ones added in S2 aren’t too interesting either

It was just

[kindred flint]

lmgs arent statically worth it vs aow ones, most ARs are a joke

[arctic grove]

“Hmm maybe their recoil is AOW oriented!”

N A H

[white geyser]

At least season 3 one of the guns I did enjoy same goes from season 1

[hexed mango]

im just using the M5 now
its all i need

[arctic grove]

All the actual AOW guns are good

[subtle raptor]

AC-42 >>>

[arctic grove]

Just pisses me off the original and new content will be superseded by something that isn’t even technically new

But o well

[hexed mango]

understandable complaint

i hate it too

[white geyser]

Crossbow and the railgun I spend how much time to unlock the attachments

[kindred flint]

band aid fixes

[hexed mango]

i spent like 2 seconds getting crossbow attachments

[kindred flint]

brb guys gunna put some sweet skins on my portal guns

[hexed mango]

[next onyx]

Portal guns behave so much differently over 2042 guns.

[kindred flint]

way like 5 mins behind this convo

[next onyx]

Ehhhh.

[kindred flint]

i just cant...understand what they were shooting for here, play a shit load of time in AOW with its gunplay...then swap to portal for nostalgia fun from the old games...and have to learn a totally new weapon handling system?

[sharp marten]

Way

[subtle raptor]

Aow gunplay was more like the portal guns originally

[arctic grove]

It was but only at launch

[hexed mango]

way just moves at a different speed

[arctic grove]

Then they realized RBD was a fucking horrible idea for aow guns

[hexed mango]

when will they realize the rorsch was a stupid idea

[subtle raptor]

Honestly I liked the launch better just not people beaming with ars from across the map

[kindred flint]

did they nerf rorsch vehicle damage yet

[arctic grove]

That’s understandable

RBD does break engagements down a bit as far as range goes

Which also makes sense considering the launch maps

[arctic grove]

I can’t understand why the mk. 4 looks more like a concept than the original one

[hexed mango]

[subtle raptor]

I was hella confused when I played the free weekend cause I had to relearn the recoil but it's too low now imo

[arctic grove]

Oh it’s very minuscule now

[south tree]

i need help

[hexed mango]

with?

[south tree]

every 15-20 mins i get kicked for anti cheat violation

[hexed mango]

verify game files and reinstall eac

[south tree]

it doesnt do it in any other game with eac

[hexed mango]

ok

[subtle raptor]

I see in your bio that you like firearms I gotta know does it bug you that some of the guns aren't really based in reality even though it's only 20 years cause it bugs me

[hexed mango]

go to 2042 game files -> eac -> installer

[subtle raptor]

Maybe I'm just weird

[arctic grove]

Some are

[hexed mango]

and verify the files again

[arctic grove]

XM5 for instance is actually real

[subtle raptor]

Yeah I mean like the m5 is actually the sign mcx

[arctic grove]

SVK too I believe

Ah yea

Yeah sorta although I don’t really know like, every single caliber or anything lol, I just like guns

[hexed mango]

sig spear is sexy

[kindred flint]

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/zvwwt8 ok this is quality shitposting

[arctic grove]

Ngl I used to think nothing in NATO and even the world looked better than the M4/M16 but

[subtle raptor]

AKs always better sadly

[arctic grove]

XM5 got me feeling ways

[hexed mango]

most are

[arctic grove]

XM5 is supposed to compete at AK ranges though iirc

[hexed mango]

besides the obvious i believe the only fake one is the AC-42

[kindred flint]

ac42 is just a famas that works

[subtle raptor]

AC-42 is a tavor

[hexed mango]

dice said its fictional

[subtle raptor]

Israeli rifle

[kindred flint]

im just trying to annoy the frogs in chat

[subtle raptor]

Or looks almost exactly like one

[hexed mango]

idk alex said its fake

[kindred flint]

alex also thinks a knife retaining more killing potential at 100m than a bullet is fine

[subtle raptor]

I wish they had the Kord 6p67 since they have the aek-971 in previous bf games

[hexed mango]

dice likes keltec alot

[subtle raptor]

Who doesn't

[arctic grove]

Well they need to like colt a little more

[hexed mango]

[kindred flint]

please tell me they arent planning on another wacky gun from them

[arctic grove]

😡

[hexed mango]

probably

[trim cloud]

Can youi shoot tgms

[kindred flint]

p51 was enough

[hexed mango]

p50 is sexy

they quirky like that

[kindred flint]

who thought using p90 mags for a pistol was a good thing

[subtle raptor]

Looks good but it actually sucks too much recoil

[kindred flint]

are those like...cheap and easy to come by? or they made new ones

[subtle raptor]

In battlefield

[arctic grove]

PP is sexier

[hexed mango]

yes bizon is my dad

[kindred flint]

still dont get why its not single fire also lol

[arctic grove]

Zain is your Daddy

[hexed mango]

yes

but zain's daddy is bizon

[subtle raptor]

Don't think so but 50rds is pretty good for a pdw

Plus the caliber has good performance

There's also ar uppers that take them it's in mw2

[kindred flint]

yeah thats a wacky design too

[arctic grove]

Speaking of the bizon

[upbeat sand]

imagine needing to hold to kill people

[arctic grove]

Why is that damn pp29 so good now

That and mp9 drum

[upbeat sand]

vcar all the way

[hexed mango]

its always been good

[arctic grove]

True true

But like I’ve seen it so much more now

[kindred flint]

ehh no it was nerfed pretty heavily wasnt it

[hexed mango]

was the only good game at launch and just everything got better but not as good as it

[kindred flint]

and buffed up again?

[upbeat sand]

the guns havent been touched in a big while and by default their good

its just they can be outgunned by range

[kindred flint]

but streamers will make it popular due to its insane mag size and their no recoil setups

[upbeat sand]

cause its an smg

[kindred flint]

lowkey i do enjoy single shot killing people at 100m with the pp+wrapped

[hexed mango]

and shitty hs mult on smg

[upbeat sand]

i use pp in single fire

[kindred flint]

you just body the fuck outta people with the pp

[hexed mango]

good thing thats in context

[split stratus]

wow

[ebon pilot]

gotta wrap your pp

[kindred flint]

this man pp's

[burnt flame]

how come everybody plays exodus conqest and not 128 player conquest

[hexed mango]

cause they hate themselves

[burnt flame]

wat?

[hexed mango]

yes

[burnt flame]

bro i dont get u

[hexed mango]

i play neither

i play BT

[burnt flame]

bt?

[hexed mango]

tho reasonably, i think people play exodus for nostalgia in a way, but CQ 128 is far better

[hexed mango]

breakthrough

[burnt flame]

yer i agree

ah ok

theres no breakthrough in my region so i have never played it on this game

i got a 208 point game today im happy

@hexed mango have u really played 600 hours of 2042

[hexed mango]

on steam it says 1.2k

[burnt flame]

holy wow

[hexed mango]

but yeah the bf stat tracker says 600

[burnt flame]

so u have played 1.2k hours?

[hexed mango]

yes

[burnt flame]

wow thats insane

u geeek haha

whats ur highest kill game on foot?

[hexed mango]

yes

[hexed mango]

i mean i dont really record it, usually im a rao player
i would say probably just shy of 130-140 maybe

[burnt flame]

waatt the fuck how

[hexed mango]

fucking around

[burnt flame]

yeah thought so

mines 64

[hexed mango]

i mean i would low ball that to 125 probably, ik ive gotten in the 120s once, but yeah idk never record it

[burnt flame]

on foot?

[hexed mango]

yeah

[burnt flame]

so whats ur best vehicle one?

[hexed mango]

but in the F-35, which i have T1'd i probably have like 150
i destroyed a lot of vehicles a few rounds

shit slaps but its hard to use

[burnt flame]

i cant use vehicles in htis game

i was alright in bf4 but this one i just dont get it

[hexed mango]

other than that, a friend and myself used to run Hind and Condors all the time and we would combined get like 200 kills a round gunning and flying

[burnt flame]

dude ur insane how are u allowed to play the game

i thought i was good getting a 208 point game

i play falck btw

[hexed mango]

falck is great

was my first T1

[copper fulcrum]

208 point is a good amount but I've gotten a 400 point at one point I believe

[burnt flame]

how many t1'

[hexed mango]

208 point is amazing, dont sell yourself short

[burnt flame]

s do u have

[hexed mango]

erm lemme think

[burnt flame]

wtf cunt ur pro

insane man

idk 200 is pretty good on foot idk how somebody could get 250+ on foot

[copper fulcrum]

What getting 50+ revives in a match while capturing in a back and forth breakthrough match does to a point value

not to mention kills

[burnt flame]

i got like 25 revives and 45 kills and like 25 captures in it

41kill 5 assist 26 revive 23catpure

cat pure lol

but yeah idk how somebody can do anymore than that

how many t1 people and guns do u have?

[hexed mango]

Falck, Rao (Mastery 150), Irish (Mastery 350), Paik, Mackay, Casper
M5, GVT, DXR, LCMG, BSV, PP-29, K30, MP9, PBX, SWS, NTW
F-35, Tuk-Tuk
Ranger

and like all the grenades besides the disrupt and throwing

[burnt flame]

wtf do u go outside lol

rao 150 and irish 350 bruuh

[burnt flame]

[hexed mango]

[hexed mango]

[hexed mango]

i dont think ive used it since i T1'd it

pretty sure all these crap teammates are making my bones prematurely age

[hexed mango]

yes

it was me

[burnt flame]

how do i see my highest kill streak

[hexed mango]

i dont think you can

stats in this game are kinda ass

[burnt flame]

meh

[hexed mango]

they didnt exist until like 6 months after launch anyways

[kindred flint]

you were expecting a stat page to have information

[arctic grove]

I like how they calling it "vault weapons" and not legacy weapons

[kindred flint]

yeah vault...because thats where they fucking belong being this trash

[wise zodiac]

#legacyvaultweapons

[hexed mango]

#vaultweaponsaremid

[burnt flame]

ffs

everytime i alt tab my game crashes

how do i fix

[arctic grove]

Even cooler sounding

[hexed mango]

dont play in fullscreen

[wise zodiac]

Don't alt tab

[hexed mango]

play borderless

[kindred flint]

^

[arctic grove]

what sounds cooler: midfield or openfield?

[wise zodiac]

Closefield

[hexed mango]

largefield

hourglassfield

[arctic grove]

Why not hugefield

[burnt flame]

y does everybody hate 2042 btw

its so good

[hexed mango]

cause launch was bad and people hate specialists

[wise zodiac]

Cause it's yuge

[burnt flame]

like they hate characters?

[arctic grove]

We dont hate it. We hate the way the poor game was launched and treated

[hexed mango]

they hate that it isnt the traditional classes

[burnt flame]

alrighjt

what other battlefields did u play>?

[hexed mango]

and that there's lacking classes and missing some features from previous games

[arctic grove]

It was brokenfield at launch

[wise zodiac]

Destroyedfield

[burnt flame]

povofield

[hexed mango]

my first was BF3, but ive played 2142, Vietnam, BC2 and everything since BF3

[burnt flame]

ive plad bf2 i think

[arctic grove]

God i miss climbing skyscrapers using the hovercraft

[burnt flame]

my 1st one i ever played properly was bf1

[wise zodiac]

I'm fucking hungry. God damnit I don't want to cook. I just want something to eat

[burnt flame]

my best game would be 2042 im good at it idk y

[hexed mango]

order food

[burnt flame]

bf5 i guess it was alright at

[hexed mango]

ive played 2042 the most tho

[wise zodiac]

It's 11pm at night- not ordering anything

[arctic grove]

Someone made a Ukrainefield in Portal

[hexed mango]

so then starve

[wise zodiac]

I probably will

[burnt flame]

zain where do u work

[hexed mango]

people have been doing that since the war started

[wise zodiac]

Oh lord

[hexed mango]

a greek fast food restaurant

[arctic grove]

Yeah with pre teens roleplaying in the server

[burnt flame]

ah nice

[hexed mango]

very unfortunate

[burnt flame]

everybody says maccas is bad its alright i guess

[kindred flint]

delete portal tbh

[wise zodiac]

Gross

[burnt flame]

its not terrible but if ur friends with people there then its fun

[arctic grove]

Definitely was a bad milsim trip

[wise zodiac]

#thatsgross

[arctic grove]

#yes

[wise zodiac]

Now I want shawarma

Fuck

[burnt flame]

whats conquest assault btw

[hexed mango]

event gamemode, defense starts with all flags captured, and no spawn base, attackers start at their base and attempt to take all objectives

[burnt flame]

sort of like breakthrough?

[hexed mango]

sorta but all objectives are up to capture

and defense doesnt have a guaranteed spawn

its an alr gamemode, i played it only to get the event rewards but BT is better

[burnt flame]

yeah alright

what character should i try and get t1 next

[hexed mango]

zain and mackay are the better assault specialists, Rao is also great, Paik is super useful as well

[arctic grove]

its like storming the beach front!

[hexed mango]

not really

seeing as you can just go around

[burnt flame]

ill try paik

[arctic grove]

itsl ike

overtaking the capital of germany!

[hexed mango]

paik is pretty good
when I T1'd her, K30 was great so i just ran K30 and Paik
so i recommend an SMG, PBX probably, and get up tight and close

[burnt flame]

alright

ffs i cant play and talk

keeps crashing how do i fix it

[arctic grove]

dont use mic

ez

[burnt flame]

no lil

like when i talk in discord

when i tab out it crashj

[arctic grove]

Bro i wanna play this mode on all maps just to test it and see how it plays out. Maybe it could work on some of the maps

[hexed mango]

fr its ass that its only on one map

[arctic grove]

Imagine CQ Assault on Gulf of Oman

[burnt flame]

we need some cool maps back in the game

battlefields maps have always been fucking incrediballs

[arctic grove]

imagine gun master on the most big ass, open map

[hexed mango]

we just need more than 1 map per season

[arctic grove]

imagine the balance

Hot take: bf4 caspian border > bf3

[hexed mango]

i mean i'd rather them not make more portal maps
cause i'd rather them make more aow content

[hexed mango]

i agree actually

[burnt flame]

yeah totally

[arctic grove]

EA has deep pockets to invest in professional experienced devs

[hexed mango]

ea and spending money doesnt go well together

they only want to make money

[arctic grove]

imagine obliteration on the biggest map

bruh

[arctic grove]

SOO TRUE

[burnt flame]

yeah no shit

[copper fulcrum]

It's almost like it's a corporation

[hexed mango]

[burnt flame]

yer

[arctic grove]

name one corp that balance it out

I'll wait

[burnt flame]

crop lol

[hexed mango]

wheat

[burnt flame]

broccoli?

[arctic grove]

I guess nobody

Some of these Indie dev teams are good tbh

[hexed mango]

not always tho

[arctic grove]

then why can't they replicate some of my old, dead games?

[burnt flame]

bf1 or bf 2042?

whats better

[hexed mango]

depends what you're after

[arctic grove]

bf1

[burnt flame]

kfc bugattis and rolex watches

[hexed mango]

then neither

[arctic grove]

Could be lisensing/copyrite issues and or money issues

[hexed mango]

copyrite

[burnt flame]

oh alright then ive been playing these games on the hunt for them

[arctic grove]

why can't some of them make a psychological horror racing game

[hexed mango]

[arctic grove]

i cant spell that word bozo

[burnt flame]

copygirl?

[hexed mango]

copyleft

[burnt flame]

cofferight

[arctic grove]

ahh its copyright

[burnt flame]

cooyright indeed

[arctic grove]

imagine if they fix some dialogues that are used wrong in Portal

I want the bf3 dialogues on AOW

[burnt flame]

fuck i hope they bring a thing where u can mess with the volume of the voicelines

so we dont have to hear them

or u can if u want

[hexed mango]

imagine if portal and hz never existed and aow was actually good

[burnt flame]

would be great addition to the game

[arctic grove]

FUCK THEY GOT ME PINNED DOWN

[hexed mango]

bf4 has shitty movement and gunplay imo

[burnt flame]

[arctic grove]

NO

[hexed mango]

good game but idk i'd rather play 2042 or bf1

[arctic grove]

I find 2042 a downgrade

[burnt flame]

i like to slide and then jump at the same time while shooting u become invincible in 2042

[hexed mango]

in content and features from bfv, sure
but i find it more enjoyable

hence why i have 1k hours on it

[burnt flame]

bfv wake island cool

[arctic grove]

if only people in V play other game modes

imagine

[hexed mango]

[arctic grove]

I wasted 5 dollars

[hexed mango]

skill issue

[burnt flame]

onwat

[hexed mango]

me

[burnt flame]

cant lie i still dont know how to equip gun skins

[wide shore]

When you’re customizing the attachments in your plus menu, there’s another menu for skins and another for charms

[burnt flame]

oh no way ok ill check it out 😄

[copper fulcrum]

Do people just not read the UI when looking at stuff?

[wide shore]

Be mindful, it’s only like that on the main game weapons. Vault weapons don’t have skins

[upbeat sand]

yeah at launch everyone was going HOW DO I EQUIP ATTACHMENTS IN PORTAL and ignoring the thing saying "customise" and a right click on the menu

[burnt flame]

wow i got 68 mastery on ak 24 i didnt think i used it that much

[crimson basin]

Did they ever say why 2042 didn't get night vision sights? Even bf5 had a night vision weapon.

[dapper summit]

A technology lost to the ages

Love for them to explain why the RAM has ADS but the MBT, MAV, AAA don’t.

[tough folio]

aps?

[dapper summit]

Active denial/protection system. Yes

[tough folio]

i think they said they were testing and eventually probably adding them to future vehicles in one of their website post

[dapper summit]

They wasted all the time and effort on hazard zone, dead in under 2 months. They wasted easily 1 year of dev time

[dapper summit]

Nah that’s an excuse. They never went beyond the initial defense system for vehicles.

[calm bison]

I mean it’s also on the TOR

[tough folio]

well i think it was the season 3 post that said that, so thats pretty recent

one of those atleast

[calm bison]

I believed DICE believed that the thermal smoke you get that throws off lock ons would work long term but they’re reviewing applying APS to the Abrams and T28

[dapper summit]

We can find issues in every aspect of the game that shows it was never fleshed out.

[calm bison]

What? 2042 wasn’t fleshed out? You don’t say

[crimson basin]

Maybe Vince Zampella can make that hazard zone/br formula work in battlefield, though I don't care about it.

[calm bison]

I think HZ could work if they had a trifecta of gamemodes

[dapper summit]

The question is why wouldn’t APS, thermal ECM, night vision. Be already in the base game

[calm bison]

The standard gamemode

A 4v4 brawl gamemode

And a Tarkov find loot and escape type gamemode

[dapper summit]

No one wants that

And it shows

[crimson basin]

Some say it was balance but idk, it was a problem with chopper gunners but they were ok with guns

[calm bison]

I mean these are just suggestions

They were never applied

[dapper summit]

That’s why HZ is dead

[calm bison]

Besides the 3v3 in apex seems decently popular

That’s kind of where I got the idea

[dapper summit]

Not the same games

[calm bison]

They both have specialists

This could’ve worked

It could’ve offered some variety to HZ

[dapper summit]

And no one would have played it

You would have gotten 1-2 months then poof

[calm bison]

We would have no idea because again, it was never implemented

[dapper summit]

It’s wasted dev time

[calm bison]

I mean clearly they weren’t pouring resources into maps so what other dev time should they use

[dapper summit]

Imagine if they took 1-2 years of the dev time wasted on HZ and put that towards 2042s main game

[tough folio]

beating a dead horse, like halo infinite.

[calm bison]

This man really thinks that DICE focused a good 2 years on HZ and nothing else

[magic bloom]

What’s a good AC42 setup?

[calm bison]

Angled grip and hybrid sight

[dapper summit]

Just wait, the next BF will have al these issues again. BF has maybe 2 games left before it’s DOA because they burned the core fan base

[magic bloom]

Ok I was probably gonna run a heavy suppressor and sub sonic ammo with it

[tough folio]

cool, enjoy it while it last.

[dapper summit]

You’re the one that thinks HZ would have ever been popular

[calm bison]

I think HZ could’ve held on with a stable player base if DICE at least attempted some newer stuff

If they tried they could’ve made it work

[dapper summit]

Much like firestorm right!

[calm bison]

Pretty much

[dapper summit]

Yeah

3 months

Dead mode

[calm bison]

It was dead partially because it was awfully implemented

$60 BR

Yeah that’s a good idea

[dapper summit]

Just like HZ a BR/weaker tarkov copy behind a 60 dollar pay wall.

[calm bison]

I mean to call HZ a BR is kinda ridiculous but sure

[dapper summit]

It’s not a loot finder like tarkov

[magic bloom]

It’s kind of a raid style game mode

[calm bison]

That’s why I said they could’ve implemented a gamemode like that but no one wants that you said

[dapper summit]

All you did in HZ was wait for another team to grab files then camp them at the EXT

I mean it’s clear no one wanted it since it’s dead

[calm bison]

People were curious. Eventually you have to try something new

[fleet star]

why is it that when i’m spamming waiting for a jet i can never get one

[dapper summit]

Player base tells dice what they want and they literally do the opposite

[fleet star]

i swear i click fast enough and i see the check mark

but it doesn’t register

[calm bison]

In addition DICE made like no meaningful changes to the core gameplay loop of HZ and as such the gamemode is drastically outdated

They could’ve had a trifecta of gamemodes

Trifecta

Three

[solar tinsel]

I would have enjoyed HZ if it was a mode that had a degree of inventory pickup (guns, attatchments, etc.) kind of like Tarkov/DMZ. Plus, also would want extractions to be possible by anyone who can make it out and not just a "one or two winners" situation.

[calm bison]

This

[dapper summit]

It has no gameplay. It was just camp another team at the EXT

[solar tinsel]

HZ was just poorly realized without that mode's appeal being understood

It winds up turning into a single point CQ

twice a match

[calm bison]

I will applaud DICE for trying something new but then I will retract by saying that they didn’t go far enough with it

[solar tinsel]

The folks who designed it did not have a grasp on what made those modes appealing to those bases

I can't applaud them for that, because they never bothered to understand the appeal of that mode. It was just like "Ok so.... AI + Currency = popular?"

It's not even one life hell you can spawn in like 5 damn times haha

[calm bison]

This is what happens when you kind of phone it in

[solar tinsel]

Which is odd to me cause I thought 2042 was initially under the foundation of being a game as some sort of extraction royale

so you'd think if anything that mode was the "good mode"

[dapper summit]

All they need to do is make the base game with, conquest, break through, operations. As the core play style. Bring back classes and have 30+ guns, just copy paste bf3-4 Then they can make a BR/TK game that’s FTP and not tied to the main game

[solar tinsel]

then again maybe its why they pivoted, because it was so bad

[calm bison]

People complain when things are actually copy pasted

Look at CoD

[dapper summit]

Yet COD sells

Why is that

[calm bison]

Because it’s accessible

It’s an easier title to get into

It’s like the titular FPS

[dapper summit]

Why does the Legend of Zelda with the same formula sell millions on one system. Same with GTA

[solar tinsel]

I wouldn't advocate for a copy/paste of anything, but it's true that they just had to launch with a more solid experience at launch with more (and better) content.

[calm bison]

That’s like asking why does Walmart have more consumers than Publix

[dapper summit]

the core style of BF is why you play it. If you wanted to play like COD why not play COD.

[calm bison]

Because it’s just not my speed

I legit tried it out

MW19

Had a decent time

But ground war sucked

[dapper summit]

the moment you try to copy another game into a diffrent one you ruin the original game

That’s why ground war sucks

It’s not COD

[calm bison]

The point is people get upset when you do the exact same thing over and over

People complained that BF4 was a clone of BF3 and that BFV was a clone on BF1

[solar tinsel]

It's often time striking the ***balance ***between innovation and familiarity that makes a game do well

[calm bison]

Exactly

[dapper summit]

Which is why 2042 is doing so great now

[solar tinsel]

I'd also just say 2042 in general suffered due to a totally different reason though

and that is

the game just did not play well or have a good and diverse content offering

[calm bison]

Yep

Content was spread a bit too thin

[dapper summit]

It coped COD with specialists it had no idea where it was going.

[solar tinsel]

So innovation vs. repetition aside, there was that

[calm bison]

And DICE has way too much trust in the community for something like Portal

[solar tinsel]

I've said this before, but specialists are not solely why 2042 failed at launch

[tough folio]

game was buggy af, but i did enjoy the beta

[dapper summit]

If you put a vote I bet you would find more people would like to play bf3 than 2042. In fact game stats prove it

[calm bison]

Except CoD doesn’t do specialists. This is more akin to Apex

[solar tinsel]

In general, I think folks came to accept the specialists, although I think the coming 3.2 class rework will be the best possible implementation of them

[calm bison]

I’m pretty sure people would love to play BF3 more than other battlefield games

2042 is not the only one

[dapper summit]

Wonder why

[calm bison]

Hell I think I’d rather play 3 than even 4

[solar tinsel]

It's probably the most significant game for the franchise, if not the best subjectively speaking

[calm bison]

4 is so shit nowadays

Even on Xbox

[magic bloom]

I’d rather play 4 in it’s prime rather than 3

[solar tinsel]

BF3 was the merging of Frostbite from BC, with the mainline franchise, with consoles being added into the mainline for the first time

it was the most significant game in the franchises history for that reason

[calm bison]

If the community on Xbox can create servers that take advantage of all the shit BF4 has i will like it more

But there are way too many 24/7 servers

How do people play this shit

[magic bloom]

24/7 golmud made me wanna uninstall

[calm bison]

Hell I’d rather play Hardline than 4

Yes actually

You read that right

[dapper summit]

First thing they need to do for the new BF game is return classes. Remove specialists, and remove the ability for anyone to Rez squadmates. Only medics

[magic bloom]

Hardline was very fucking fun

I don’t Care what anyone says

[calm bison]

It was good in BFV so idk what you mean by this

[radiant prism]

Yeah squad revives are an objectively positive change lol

It promotes squadplay

[magic bloom]

Hell half the medics in older titles didn’t do they’re job

[calm bison]

Squadmates can only revive squadmates

If you’re a support and your blue medic goes down

You’re shit outta luck

[left badge]

their doing that for the next update

[magic bloom]

You had maybe 3-4 medics who solely dedicated to reviving

[white geyser]

BF3 doesn't have the loadout for the AA tank for me to use, in BF4 I did everything I can to be aggressive using the zuni rockets for the AA tank in BF4. This is why I want BF4 to be added in the portal to continue my aggression using the BF4 AA tank and its loadout

[calm bison]

AEK-971 grenade launcher and med box

With G18 secondary

[dapper summit]

Nah all it does is remove the squads need for a medic. It’s not about squad play as you don’t need to worry about a medic. So if that’s the case just remove the medic

[magic bloom]

No. Not the passive radar missiles

[calm bison]

What happens when, oh idk, my squad isn’t there

[solar tinsel]

I'm fine with squad revives, although that certainly has changed the way BF has played compared to older games. Between that and spawn on any squadmate, that changed the way BF played quite a bit.

[magic bloom]

I mean squad revives are nice because 95% of the medics in this game don’t revive

[calm bison]

How often do you actually stay with your squaddies

[solar tinsel]

Squad rez is a good mechanic for tight squadplay, and rewards that

[dapper summit]

I guess you should have stayed with your squad then? If we’re going to use that excuse as it makes the squads better

[white geyser]

You been killed by that AA missile back in BF4?

[magic bloom]

No I just abused it myself 😂

[calm bison]

Fuck active radar missiles

Fuck em

“Hey guys look at me I’m so good at the game! I just point and shoot and it auto locks! It’s great”

Read that in the most annoying voice you can pull off

[dapper summit]

I don’t agree. If I wipe 3/4 of your squad and an sniper kills me and rezes all 3 that’s not good core gameplay. I don’t have an issue with they spawning on him after he breaks combat but he should be able to Rez

[calm bison]

It takes forever for them to revive

[magic bloom]

Can’t forget letting it take a second to go like Mach Jesus and slam into the helicopter at the speed of light where it has no time to dump their flares

[dapper summit]

Lol no it doesn’t

[calm bison]

This is another thing you’re failing to mention

[white geyser]

Don't be a cry baby when the passive radar missile is gonna kill you, man up!

[solar tinsel]

Where were your squadmates to take out that sniper in that situation?

[calm bison]

Squad revives take significantly longer to do than standard medic rez

[calm bison]

Passives are cool

Actives aren’t

Learn the diff

[magic bloom]

Medic rez takes so much less time

[calm bison]

Exactly

[dapper summit]

Maybe they got killed 2 or were on the way. Once again it’s a crutch in my opinion.

[magic bloom]

It’s half the reason I play angel because the team needs me

And cause way told me to

[solar tinsel]

It goes both ways though. You can't just say "well a squad of 4 was able to rez because I couldn't solo wipe all 4", when your previous argument was "stick with your squad"

If they got killed, then your squad lost. The squad rez is just a shortcut to them ultimately waiting and spawning on each other anyway

[calm bison]

Squad revives were put in because of the fucking useless medics in BF1 that didn’t revive when you were completely fine

This is what happens when you don’t do your job

People complain

[magic bloom]

Like unless your playing Crawford or actively getting shot you have no excuse to not revive as a medic

[calm bison]

Also plus for DICE making the revives a passive instead of a gadget

[dapper summit]

You miss the point. If that’s a good system then we should bring back 2142s squad system “where you could only spawn on the squad leader”

[calm bison]

Means I can be more aggressive

[calm bison]

That actually sounds awful

[dapper summit]

Oh

But what

It’s squad based

[calm bison]

Not really

[magic bloom]

That’s relying solely on one person

[calm bison]

That’s more reliant on your squad leader than your squad

[dapper summit]

And it was terrible just like anyone in your squad rezing

[tough folio]

i clear my area first before reviving, i get shot while rezzing too many times

[calm bison]

You’re not really understanding the point here. Squad revives are squad gameplay. Hoping to god your squad leader isn’t halfway across the map with his thumb up his ass isn’t

[solar tinsel]

We don't really need to do that. There's a distict differnence in that BF2/2142 had a max squad size of 6. Where that IS needed

with a size of 4, you don't really.

[calm bison]

Also I gotta admit it’s kinda funny obliterating a guy with a tank shell then watch him get up after he gets his hand shaken

[magic bloom]

I mean either way it doesn’t affect me in this game since I primarily play medic now but it’s nice if I go down my squad can revive me and I can get back to saving people

[dapper summit]

The point I’m making is by slowing your squad to squad rez, your not really a squad IE bfv your just a team of 4 running assault and if a squad mate gets down you kill who took him out then rez

[calm bison]

Except you’re all an assault and that squad dynamic doesn’t owe itself to good teamwork

[solar tinsel]

I mean, a squad is more than just one thing.

[calm bison]

You’re not working off of each other

[solar tinsel]

If it's 4 assaults working together and storm an objective, then I'd say that's a squad

[calm bison]

If your squad is entirely one class then you should likely leave that squad

Especially if it’s infantry only

[dapper summit]

You can say what you want about it being good. It’s not just like specialists.

[solar tinsel]

And how good or poor that squad works together determines how effective they are in the match

[magic bloom]

Just like a team of dedicated anti armor engineers

[calm bison]

If it’s a vehicle heavy map I can kind of understand it

[solar tinsel]

Squad revives just help speed up the general gameplay flow a little bit, so its fine

again, it is a shortcut to getting back in the action

[calm bison]

But if you’re all just one class you miss out on the buffs the other classes can provide you

[dapper summit]

If bf1 had squad revives no one would have played medic

[calm bison]

I beg to differ

[magic bloom]

I don’t like the fact of having to wait five years to respawn just for my teammate to be in the middle of a gunfight and I can’t help him

[solar tinsel]

for sure, thats the risk and reward

[dapper summit]

Not really any risk

You miss nothing by not bringing a medic now in your squad

[calm bison]

The problem is that a lot of people like to play lone wolf. Even in BFV on launch people went off and did their own thing

Squad revives can’t happen if you do that

[solar tinsel]

Faster rez definitely can be helpful

[calm bison]

Also medics have the buff of smoke grenade stuff

[dapper summit]

Could be. Rather have another RPG

Everyone has smoke now

[solar tinsel]

well, thats something for your squad to figure out

[calm bison]

Yes but how many people actually use it

[dapper summit]

2042 is a single player game now.

[calm bison]

Especially to revive

[dapper summit]

I Rez people out in the open

Gotta get that weekly

[calm bison]

I don’t think I’ve been covered in smoke at least 5 times in 2042 when being revived

[magic bloom]

Angel is very useful because of his loadout crate

[solar tinsel]

I mean I think if you squad up with a group of 4 then its not, but sure it all kind of depends. It wasn't much different in the older games if you were not in a squad.

[calm bison]

Meanwhile in BFV you’re drowning in smoke like it’s a high school bathroom

[magic bloom]

Then you’ve never been in a game with me as the medic lol I have a class dedicated to it

[calm bison]

Same

[solar tinsel]

I think you see less VoIP these days because people are either in their own private party chat, or due to VoIP being disabled by default

[magic bloom]

I can by myself carry a push in breakthrough with all my smoke

[calm bison]

We want VOIP!
Ok here you go
And let’s turn it off

[magic bloom]

How do I turn it on actually

[solar tinsel]

ha yup, then again people have also been asking for default off VoIP before I feel like too

[calm bison]

The community thinks they want it but then realize it basically adds nothing

[dapper summit]

Well isn’t that why they turn off all chat. gg is an oppressor word now

[solar tinsel]

"Im sick of hearing people playing music" etc.

[magic bloom]

Nvm

[calm bison]

I actually think it’s funny when devs have filters

[tough folio]

fortnite got sued for having voice chat on by default, they prob gotta have it off now

[dapper summit]

Dice knows what the game needs. Servers? Nah. Scoreboard? That’s a legacy feature. VoIP?

[magic bloom]

But damn do I have fun dropping 94 revives in a game

[calm bison]

I imagine a game without servers wouldn’t last for very long

[dapper summit]

Dedicated

Servers

You know

What you don’t have now

[calm bison]

I mean the servers in 2042 seem pretty dedicated

[dapper summit]

Can you join the same game over and over?

[calm bison]

Uh yeah

[upbeat sand]

in portal

[calm bison]

I can

[tough folio]

i swear people dont know the meaning of dedicated servers

[solar tinsel]

2042 has dedicated servers

you mean persistent servers

[calm bison]

It’s called closing application and opening application

[solar tinsel]

which yes, does now exist in 2042 in Portal

[dapper summit]

Ohhhhhhh so you have to go to another game mode to access a feature that another player has to create

Fun

[calm bison]

But no one uses it because this community is a wasteland of uncreativity

[solar tinsel]

I mean, Portal is more of a gateway than a mode

You can join plain old Conquest if you want

[dapper summit]

Let me know when I have a server browser outside of portal

[calm bison]

Here’s a fun challenge

Go into the server browser for portal

[solar tinsel]

Here's the thing though, everyone can literally today start using the browser

[calm bison]

And for every hardcore or xp farm server you find

[solar tinsel]

People don't care enough to have it or use it

[calm bison]

Take a shot of vodka

[upbeat sand]

dice said not happening cause since of their weekly new modes itll overload the game and servers

[calm bison]

See how long you last

[dapper summit]

Your rank of 9999 means nothing

[solar tinsel]

If the whole BF community wanted to tomorrow, they could stop going to Conquest and create a custom Conquest server in Portal

[dapper summit]

That’s a good excuse

[calm bison]

Man finds out pixels mean nothing

[tough folio]

all you seem to do is complain and mald

[calm bison]

I could tell you I’m level 30 Athena on Sea of Thieves and you could likely give less than 2 fucks

[magic bloom]

I mean you’ve got a good point

[calm bison]

It’s a number on a screen

In a video game

[dapper summit]

Got anything new high schooler?

[tough folio]

lmao my point still stands

[dapper summit]

It’s an opinion

[fleet star]

is there anyway i can gaurentee a jet

[solar tinsel]

The truth that I think a lot of folks don't want to realize is, matchmaking is just more popular with a vast majority of the players - because most want a stock experience and not 24/7 metro, or whatever this version would be is in 2042

[fleet star]

other than spamming click

[upbeat sand]

it sounds more like a accusation

[solar tinsel]

and there is a reason why DICE isn't adding a separate server browser for 'All out Warfare'

[calm bison]

He does kind of have a point

From the very onset you just seem to complain

[solar tinsel]

its because nobody is bothering to use the one that's in there now that can literally do the same thing 😆

[dapper summit]

Sorry I disagree with the way the game is played

[calm bison]

And instead of providing any actual solutions you just kinda do that

[dapper summit]

You want battlefield apex edition

I don’t

[fleet star]

the game sucks if u don’t use a vehicle

[calm bison]

I never said that

[upbeat sand]

you know a class rework is returning right

[calm bison]

Wait till you get in tanks and then get fucked by 20 Lis rockets

[magic bloom]

Fr

[dapper summit]

You can scroll up to where I said how to make the game better you either missed it. Or ignored it

[fleet star]

that’s why i main jet

it takes skill

[dapper summit]

Won’t fix the issues if the specialists are still in the game.

[calm bison]

You offered one solution and it was like the most basic one out there

[solar tinsel]

Well the 3.2 class rework is the closest thing. That said, if thats not enough you'll just have to wait and see if the next BF is to your liking

[calm bison]

It’s the same one people have been asking for

[dapper summit]

Lots more than that.

[upbeat sand]

it will do some stuff

[fleet star]

they need classes again. and smaller maps

[upbeat sand]

its not like their putting a nametag and thats it

[fleet star]

and scoreboard Kd

why tf is KD not on there

that baffles me

[calm bison]

Uh

Scoreboard KD wasn’t ever in battlefield

At least not to my knowledge

[fleet star]

i want to see everyone’s kills and deaths

[calm bison]

Unless you just refer to kills and deaths and in that case it’s right there

[fleet star]

that’s what i mean

[solar tinsel]

thats in the game

Its been in there for, quite some time

[calm bison]

Yeah

[solar tinsel]

Not since launch, ironically but its in there

[dapper summit]

And they only did it because they found out the specialists along with all weapons and gadgets open to them was a broken system.

[fleet star]

i haven’t seen that

[calm bison]

Press TAB

[fleet star]

maybe i’m buggin

i’m on ps5

[upbeat sand]

they are fixing it

would you rather not

[solar tinsel]

Hold down OPTIONS

[fleet star]

thanks i’ll try it out next game when i’m waiting for a jet for 10 minutes

[calm bison]

Yeah this game has had a scoreboard for quite some time

The score system is what pisses me off

[dapper summit]

My fix would be removing the specialists use the generic shoulder model

[calm bison]

Just show me points

[dapper summit]

Weapons locked to classes

[calm bison]

I don’t need this new metric

[solar tinsel]

so is this a cosmetic issue for you ultimately?

[upbeat sand]

shoulder

[dapper summit]

Yup you got me. That iPhone autocorrect

[upbeat sand]

shoulder

soldier

[tough folio]

i dont mind the gun, but certian specialist should have exclusive access to certain gadgets, having atleast 30 stingers isnt really balanced

[fleet star]

is there a lot of players with their cross play off? i’ve never tried it

[solar tinsel]

For what it's worth, I'd say the majority opinion is people like free weapon selection, but I think the profiency system is a decent compromise (even if some things need to be tweaked)

[calm bison]

I’m fine with gadget restrictions

[upbeat sand]

dont turn it off

[solar tinsel]

Free weapons + restricted gadgets is the way to go

[upbeat sand]

since its default no one will use it

[calm bison]

Weapon restrictions I could care less

[dapper summit]

No the specialists gadgets is my issue. Wing suit, hook shot, name a few

[solar tinsel]

Gadgets determine your class role substantially more than weapon

[fleet star]

yeah im not finding a game. damn.

[calm bison]

I mean that’s all geared towards a certain playstyle

[solar tinsel]

So you just don't like the specific gadgets? I mean you can view a specialist gadget no differently than a class gadget.

[dapper summit]

Well yeah they like it. They can be the super hero they want to be. Medic with rockets, sniper with aa,

[calm bison]

Well not for long

[solar tinsel]

Im talking about primary weapons, not gadgets (rockets, etc.)

Gadgets are being locked in 3.2

class restricted, I should say

[calm bison]

This will buff vehicles

Namely tanks

[solar tinsel]

Ground vehicles specifically, yeah

[calm bison]

And that makes me happy

[solar tinsel]

agreed

well needed

[dapper summit]

Nope

I don’t think so at al

[calm bison]

Have you tried playing a tank in this game

[dapper summit]

Everyone will still run engs and blow them to hell and back.

[solar tinsel]

That definitely will not happen

[calm bison]

So squad revives?

[solar tinsel]

There will be some, for sure

[fleet star]

question. is there only 1 jet allowed per team in CQ?

[calm bison]

Since no one is playing medic

[solar tinsel]

but some folks will want to keep running McKay, etc.

[calm bison]

Yes

[solar tinsel]

depends on map, but generally yes

all of the 2042 maps yes

[upbeat sand]

theres a lot of makay mains tho

they have no rockets

[calm bison]

TBH I see med pen becoming the most useful gadget for assault

[solar tinsel]

not to mention medics/supports

[calm bison]

Any rocket launcher for engie

[dapper summit]

Well that’s the point right? Your whole squad can be engs kill the tank rez the unlucky person that got killed when the tank was eating 4 rocks back to back

[solar tinsel]

yeah but not everyone is going to want to do that. If they do then, ok sure they are strong against vehicles. As a 4 Engi squad SHOULD be

[dapper summit]

But won’t they still have C 5

[calm bison]

But can a whole squad survive an APFSDSHECBC round?

[upbeat sand]

yeah they need to get close

[solar tinsel]

They can, but that hardly is the issue with tanking

the issue now as a tank is you get bombarded by rockets all over

[calm bison]

Yeah honestly the frequency of rocket launchers outweighs C5

[dapper summit]

Hookshot up. Wait a bit death from above

[calm bison]

And you have to be so close nowadays to even land C5 on something

[dapper summit]

We will have to wait and see but I don’t think that’s going to change at all.

[solar tinsel]

Time will tell

[calm bison]

BFV tanks are potent despite every class having AT items

But that’s because the AT items vary

[sterile canyon]

if dice got chance can they nerf railgun cause it bloody annoying

[calm bison]

Same thing for the class update

[dapper summit]

Well the MBT damage in 2042 is gimp damage

[calm bison]

Not if you use HE shells

[solar tinsel]

yeah HE shells are where its at

[calm bison]

It was like this in BF4

[solar tinsel]

the turret speed increase helped too, and I noticed reduced the effect of the overshoot the turrets do

its probably only 1 or 2 extra shots, depending on what you're hitting

[upbeat sand]

HE is for infantry

[calm bison]

Faster RoF at the expense of less damage per shot against vehicles

[dapper summit]

Didn’t have that problem in 4, I would use the MG to drop infantry

[upbeat sand]

4 is imbalanced hell hole

[solar tinsel]

tank might be 2 extra shells, WIldcat 1 extra probably

[calm bison]

This is post BFV where it’s expected that the tank’s main cannon has splash damage

[left badge]

hello battlefield 2042 discord

[solar tinsel]

Larger splash damage too I believe

[calm bison]

Fuck it

[left badge]

what hot takes do you have for me today

[calm bison]

Let’s introduce multiple Ammo types at once for vehicles in this game

Just like BFV

Why can’t I swap to AP shells

I could in BFV

[solar tinsel]

yeah that was a bummer to see

or different optics

[dapper summit]

To hard, they don’t have that tech

[calm bison]

Which makes no sense
