battlefield-2042

[lilac dust]

Considering it was meant to be a BR initially and they pivoted last minute it makes perfect sense. It's very similar to apex legend's original map design

[arctic grove]

6v6 doesn’t fit almost any of mw2s maps besides shipment

[fervent grotto]

It especially feels that way in conquest. Certain points are contested once and then ignored, and then others are the main focus of the map

[arctic grove]

Every orbital game I get most of my team gets meat grounded at that one new objective

[royal swan]

Unlike most bad maps I tend to forget, border crossing left a fucking shit stain in my brain

[arctic grove]

Border crossing when it allows you to map flank amongst cover and concealment the entire time

And you’ll never notice anyone doing it cause all those damned cars

[magic bloom]

One grenade and it’s all over

[fervent grotto]

I actually enjoy border crossing

But Taraq

[royal swan]

Cringe

[fervent grotto]

God damn

Fuck Taraq

[magic bloom]

Taraq and boarder crossing both suck (as do most of MW2’s maps)

[royal swan]

I can handle taraq for a few seconds

[magic bloom]

Then the cringe sniper players have the audacity to tell you to get good even though they have a hit scan gun that one hits you

[arctic grove]

It’s even worst when snipers use reflex scopes

So there’s no scope glint

[royal swan]

Just remove the cars or remove the ability to blow them up

[magic bloom]

Any sort of sniping does not equal skill unless your doing extreme long shots in war zone

[fervent grotto]

Tbh tho it’s kind of true for quickscoping. People who just sit at a high point and watch are nerds, but quickscopers are at a pretty decent disadvantage. If they don’t hit the first shot they are dead especially because of the TTK in this game

[magic bloom]

As they should quick scoping is cringe

[royal swan]

Ttk in mw2022 makes shotguns somewhat bearable

[fervent grotto]

Its a staple of what makes Cod Cod

[fervent grotto]

The shotguns aren’t to outrageous. They are definitely more balanced then MW

[arctic grove]

Shotguns by what I can tell seem very inconsistent

[fervent grotto]

The Expidite 12 is mid though

[magic bloom]

In like modern warfare 2 (the original) maybe but not now

[fervent grotto]

The only shotgun I’ve really used is the Lockwood 300 to unlock the slug

[fervent grotto]

Why not now?

[magic bloom]

Well number 1 they can’t really quick scope out of the box like the old ones

Since they have the ads time of next month

[royal swan]

Shields are still annoying unless you, do the many ways of killing them

[magic bloom]

You also have to bastardize the gun to make it actually viable

[royal swan]

My favorite is rpg killing them

[fervent grotto]

Yeah, but you can unlock the attachments tho. Quickscoping is still incredibly prominent in cod.

[magic bloom]

I run shield and RPG on occasion and just suicide into people

[fervent grotto]

They shield is just like the shield operators in R6. They’re annoying at first, but once you find out how to counter them it becomes really easy

[magic bloom]

Other than that I just don’t like quick scoping since they can hit the most bullshit shots and still kill you

I Just use my trusty pump shotgun and knife when I play

I wish they’d add the classic ghillie suits back from the original mw2

[fervent grotto]

There’s two operators with ghillie suits

[magic bloom]

They don’t blend in with anything

[fervent grotto]

They’ll probably add more skins, but it’s not the same I know

Yeah, that’s not really their purpose in Cod

Not anymore at least

[magic bloom]

Yes I’m aware but it still works in hardcore

[fervent grotto]

Keeps camping from becoming further popular

[magic bloom]

In 19 It worked in hardcore since I used them for my ninja defuses

I might actually go into rush and attempt some funny MCOM defuses

[spiral folio]

Man speakin of not blending in. If people on the enemy team could keep wearing those bright white suits.

Any time i see one it like makes me headshot em

Somethin about how bright it is

[magic bloom]

In battlefield?

[spiral folio]

Yea

Some extra white anti-camo cause it doesnt even blend in with snow

[magic bloom]

Yeah it sucks for snow even on breakaway

[spiral folio]

Maybe its for taking an apple store or something

[magic bloom]

Maybe lol

[topaz field]

gave the AK24 a try yesterday.... might be the 3rd best gun in the game o.O

its a headshot magnet

[drowsy shuttle]

What is the first 2?

[copper fulcrum]

SFAR is pretty up there

[topaz field]

SFAR and M5a3

[drowsy shuttle]

Hum.. for me bsv is first

[topaz field]

you def have a point there very OP gun

i just dont see it alot

[chilly jacinth]

everyone hopped over to the sfar

since people heard the bsvm got nerfed

even though its still strong as hell

[copper fulcrum]

and then you got the Avancys

[drowsy shuttle]

But deep down (in my heart) Ghostmaker R10 > all

Actually, Ghostmaker R10 > Battlefield 2042

[spiral folio]

Didn't like it

[topaz field]

ahahah

ever since jackfrags and endersfps been uploading videos on youtube with avancy and lcmg i see alot of players running around with those two guns more than often

[spiral folio]

Probably has nothing to do with everyone starting out with the LCMG and tons fo free trials lately

Lots of people do outsource their brains to youtube though

[drowsy shuttle]

I see more people using the pp29.. and usually is the tryharders... dcisiv wannabes

[chilly dove]

these kind of arguments always make me laugh. it's not jackfrags fault

[arctic grove]

Just the meta I think

[spiral folio]

I know this guy who does that hard. Like once he wanted to discuss alternate histories so i did and he goes "NO..WATCH THIS VIDEO"
uhhh nah lets just discuss the topic?
He refused and only wanted to discuss the video, not the concepts of the video

[copper fulcrum]

"So anyways I am using the X for today's video"
HOLY FUCK HE DID GOOD WITH x! I GOTTA USE IT

[arctic grove]

Clickbaits

i swear people are desperate for views and likes

[spiral folio]

That's why a ton of em are hot takes and freaking out

[copper fulcrum]

Even in videos where the gun isn't the focus, it comes to that though

[spiral folio]

The resident freakout king for world of warships is "flamu" and like all his videos are him losing his mind

[chilly dove]

I mean they recieve reimbursement for it. who cares. If a weapon is OP blame DICE/EA

besides the best gun in the game is

being automatically pushed out of bushes while proning dice plz fix

[chilly jacinth]

stop hiding in bushes

[chilly dove]

skill issue detected

[drowsy shuttle]

But i like bushed

[lavish patrol]

Never tried Crawford. He any good?

[copper fulcrum]

At least it isn't like BFV where you become pretty near invisible for just going prone

[drowsy shuttle]

For revive..

[lavish patrol]

That and BFV's spotting is... odd

[copper fulcrum]

BFV basically doesn't have spotting unless you're a recon

Which is why you're gonna see flares fucking everywhere

[drowsy shuttle]

Okay i get it... now i get it why people say the Rorsch is great... that shit with the Target T8 scope is deadly..

I've been doing 40, 50, 60 kills per game (depending the length of the match) easily in chaos breakthrough...

The T8 scope doesnt have a glint so its headshot, headshot, headshot...

They dont even see it comin

Just 94 more kills to T1 the rorsch

[arctic grove]

He's ok that mini gun pretty good tho

[drowsy shuttle]

I think its weak. Also, its a snipers magnet

[copper fulcrum]

What's the point, realistically, of having that window you can shoot through though?

[drowsy shuttle]

To balance it out.. but yeah.. the mini gun is already kinda weak..

[copper fulcrum]

I mean realistically as in, out of game context lol

[drowsy shuttle]

Well game is far from realism so...

[copper fulcrum]

You think I don't know that?

[drowsy shuttle]

What you want me to tell you then? Lol

[copper fulcrum]

My question was out of a game's context and in a real life sense, what that window would be lol

[arctic grove]

Helping the enemy side

[mossy solar]

[forest snow]

the event reminds me why 128 breakthrough is trash

[spiral folio]

It happens near some rocks too. I think it has to do with the ground slope

[calm bison]

Guys

[chilly jacinth]

You dont like laggy garbage?

why not

[calm bison]

It has come to my attention that Sea of Thieves has an Oreo ship set now

[spiral folio]

A wider map would make more sense for it

128 on spearhead is pretty nuts

And there's like 500000 of those damn missle defense pods

It should shotgun out shrapnel even if you intercept a missile

As per newtons law of motion

[drowsy shuttle]

Yep. Problem is the map and layout, not 128p BT

[spiral folio]

The map is designed from day1 for 32v32 so yea its cramped and crazy with 128 which i guess was the point

All the other maps were initially designed for 128 but were trimmed

[chilly dove]

yeah there's a seperate issue which does theexact same thing related to rocks and terrain. but there's 1 just for bushes too lol

[spiral folio]

It's related to like if you prone too close to a solid object. So whatever mechanism does that is basically detecting sloped terrain or the bush even as a solid object

[chilly dove]

yeah the wall push off prone thing from BF4 which created wallprone surfing

I dunno how the milsim portal ppl can play this game with that glitch

[spiral folio]

I never had 4 so no idea

[lilac dust]

Farewell Breakthrough chaos... The next time I log into 2042 you will be gone 😢

[spiral folio]

I play it whenever regular BT gives me the ol "MM error"

[lavish patrol]

Got kicked by EAC in a match last night. I guess it didn't like the Steelseries app.

[remote kiln]

I guess you could say it's a, breakthrough moment

[lavish patrol]

EAC can be so janky at times... but I still prefer it over Punkbuster.

[remote kiln]

you're now... stranded

[pastel loom]

[lavish patrol]

M5A3 master race

[drowsy rose]

When you get the 4.5 and then the x6 scope for the Rosrch the game becomes ez mode

[lavish patrol]

I hear the 8x doesn't glint either

It used to have zero recoil before it got nerfed

[pine roost]

what's the recoil on it like now?

[sharp marten]

So Twitter is taking away my sound for videos anyone know why

[lavish patrol]

Definitely has an upward recoil, but by a bit

It's still super strong for sure

[pine roost]

I'll boot up noname's and have a look

none of the guns really have that much recoil anyway

yeah that's not much recoil at all

even the pkp is easy, it's only the horizontal that makes it somewhat tough

and this is with the recoil bug too

once that's fixed everything will be a breeze

[tame cobalt]

Renewal is a fun sniping map

Aiming with controller in this game is hard as hell

But i still be stackin kills

[fervent grotto]

I’m the opposite

I suck ass at flying ngl

[magic bloom]

It’s easy

Just don’t put the bird in the dirt and you’ll be fine

[pine roost]

especially with flight assist the way it is

yes I'm going to keep bringing this up because I'm praying for it to get changed

[magic bloom]

Even in older games it was easy

I only fly transports in older titles cause transport choppers won games

[hexed mango]

[vocal zenith]

i never really flew in previous bf games other than planes on bf1 whats so different about FA in bf2042

[pine roost]

no other game had any form of flight assist, this one introduced it which is nice. but a bug that was introduced in season 1 made it so that even if the setting is turned off, you still experience flight assist. Which just isn't what the setting is supposed to do

it's flight assist off, not partially off, not 50%, just off

it's like having constant stick drift and makes aiming more of a hassle than it needs to be.

[rocky kraken]

wait

flight assist is only on console?

[pine roost]

as a biproduct it would probably raise the skill floor too, it'll make the nightbird less nimble with it's rolling as it won't spin from side to side like a drunken menace

[pine roost]

it's on both pc and console

the thing is that the playerbase who fly is so small compared to the total playerbase, the percentage of that playerbase who know how to not crash is even smaller, and the percentage of that percentage who actually care enough to make bug reports is so miniscule that It's probably flown under their radar

[fervent grotto]

What does flight assist do?

[pine roost]

make you go flip when you no want to

[vocal zenith]

probably to make it easier to fly lol

well their intentions were for that

[pine roost]

makes it easier for new pilots to not crash, but makes it significantly harder for experienced pilots to aim with accuracy and consistency

[vocal zenith]

ive flow helis in sims before and they are a pain in the ass because they are inherently unstable

which makes flying them more difficult than jets honestly

probably why i havent noticed

i really only fly the transport heli

trying to aim with a heli is honestly more difficult than DCS lol

[pine roost]

I can't tell whether it's something that is genuinely accidental or something done to lower the skill ceiling

[vocal zenith]

might be both

[pine roost]

it's not even just lowering the skill ceiling, it's just uncomfortable

like the high spread at launch, unbearable mouse input and controller input

[vocal zenith]

u use mouse and keyboard to fly?

[pine roost]

yeah

always have

[vocal zenith]

ive been using joystick

and pedals

maybe thats why i havent noticed

[pine roost]

mouse just feels best to me

I just kind of do this for 30 minutes for a bit of fun

and I am 90% sure the ground magnetism thing we face is due to this same issue

[drowsy shuttle]

You know a team is bad when i join late (when there was only 150 tickets left as attackers in first sector of chaos BT) and i still ended nr 1 in the scoreboard with 23 kills.

[pine roost]

it would make sense seeing as flight assist is always on, for it to try and suck you into the ground

[spiral folio]

It actually makes more physical sense. Helicopters are naturally stable as long as the rotor is intact

Ie the force upwards and a weight downward

If you pull the weight by a string in any horizontal way, the string leads and the weight pulls back snd the string angles. Which is like the lean of the helicopter

When you stop pulling, the weight self-rights the vehicle

[vocal zenith]

found a cheater

first time seeing a cheater in bf2042 lol

[spiral folio]

It's kinda hard to prove

[vocal zenith]

we had 4 people watch him with a casper drone

everyone is suspicious of him

[pine roost]

what's he doing

[vocal zenith]

walling

[spiral folio]

Often the automatic detection stuff on new games catches them

[pine roost]

send a video if you can

i'm curious

[spiral folio]

And as the game gets older, more of them figure out how to avoid that.

[pine roost]

only hackers I've experienced in bfv at least were using the handgun with silent aim across the map

that was just funny though

[spiral folio]

Its almost a wonder they bother since nobody can talk across teams

Most cheaters do it for a reaction

[lavish patrol]

And just like that, encountered cheaters in BFV

[spiral folio]

If you can straight record em that'd be your best bet

Otherwise

[vocal zenith]

im not on casper rn

il just report him

seems like thats what everyone on my team is doing

[spiral folio]

I mean... cant hurt but

The only real way youll get something done is with proof

[pine roost]

Most people do it because they are so unbelievably awful they need ‘assistance software’ to enjoy the game

[vocal zenith]

aparently this guy acording to my team chat is a known hacker

irefuse13

[pine roost]

They always say that

I’ve had someone call me a known hacker once

That ain’t true

[spiral folio]

Yea people report so much falsely that a simple ingame report is pointless

[vocal zenith]

yea but multiple people are calling him that and multiple caspers have seen him

if its one guy i understand but multiple people saying it i kind hard to just scoff

[pine roost]

It’s just someone is mad at someone else for killing them so they try to mass report them. Still a chance it could be legitimate but you’ll have to make your own judgment

[spiral folio]

Yeaa..
Theres no penalty for false reports so whats gonna stop em

[pine roost]

The best experience I’ve had with a hacker though was in titanfall 2. I managed to join the party of a streamer who was well known enough to get the enemy members to leave the match so it was us 6 vs this 1 guy. Needless to say we bullied him

[spiral folio]

I once counted the bullets from a cheaters MP44 jumped up and quick scoped him and he goes "oh" and logged out

[pine roost]

Nicely done

[spiral folio]

That was cod2 like before cheaters had like object detection

[vocal zenith]

hackers are idiots whats the point of playing a game if the computer is playing for u

[spiral folio]

On bf1 there's thise invisible cheaters so what id do is find em cause you can see their rifles. And id follow em and get shot at

[pine roost]

No idea

The reason I play most games is to see myself improve. They have no capacity to want to put effort into learning something so just cheat

[vocal zenith]

funny thing is hackers are usually garbage at the thing you cants really hack at like positioning

the only thing they can be good at is their aim because u know hacks

[spiral folio]

Generally like 3 kinds
-intentional trolls
-revenge
-"i give up"
And it becomes like a drug addiction

Some do it for money. Its weird how often people get caught on competitive games in competition

[vocal zenith]

jesus

im looking at what hacks for bf2042 can do for u and its ridiculous

yea no that guy was defenetly hacking

[pine roost]

🤨

[vocal zenith]

i was curious how he was doing it

it was really bad lol

[drowsy shuttle]

I joined the tryharders and pseudo-streamers with the pp29. Lets see what this bad boy can do (i have it tier 1 but i rarely play with it)

[vocal zenith]

is the pp 29 still good i heard it was kinda nuts on launch lol

[drowsy shuttle]

It was and then got nerfed

[ebon pilot]

it's still pretty good though

it's definitely not bad

[pine roost]

Does it lean more towards an ar than an smg?

[magic bloom]

Yeah

Don’t you just love when you have to do AA on your own

[drowsy shuttle]

I still think an m5 might be better

[ebon pilot]

pp is like a mini lmg in your pocket

[hexed mango]

i love pp

[drowsy shuttle]

Say that again?

[hexed mango]

you heard me

[drowsy shuttle]

Lol fair enough

[ebon pilot]

let's compare our pps

[hexed mango]

quite elegant, yours is

[vocal zenith]

pp 29 jokes lol

[ebon pilot]

imma post my pp just a sec

[drowsy shuttle]

My pp is tier 1 dunno about yours

[lavish patrol]

Why are medics so braindead in this game?

[ebon pilot]

ok now your turn

[pine roost]

Most think about themselves and don’t have any form of gamesense

Either they attempt to revive before clearing the area or just don’t because they don’t care

Finding that one person who actually does both properly is an amazing find

[arctic grove]

If I play Falck I'll usually run smokes so I can get the revive even in a dangerous area

[vocal zenith]

its crazy how many falck players dont ever revive lol

its not even hard to revive

if you are too lazy to clear the area

just throw smoke and revive lol

[drowsy shuttle]

Ofc.. old school medic

[arctic grove]

Sometimes they just forget

or they just want more kills

which I don't think you can blame them for

I'm guilty of it

[solid imp]

you may not see more medics after the 3.2 update but it should be more likely that the ones you do see deliberately chose that class to do medic stuff, as opposed to now where people choose Falck so they can basically have a medpen + whatever gadget they actually wanted to use

[vocal zenith]

yea lets hope

ppl playing falck and dont revivive are basicly playing her like an assult lol

[solid imp]

which is fine, but let's hope they move over to assault class and have that medpen + whatever assault gadget they want to use 🙂

[drowsy shuttle]

Im tier 1 falck right now.. so im a reviving machine

[solid imp]

they shouldn't lose much

sigh

I'm right here @autumn cairn really?

[autumn cairn]

I am sorry that was immature of me

[drowsy shuttle]

Lol

[autumn cairn]

I’ll delete it

[lavish patrol]

It's not the healing that infuriates me from medics, it's their lack of willingness to revive

[solid imp]

agreed

although it's nice to walk over random syrette cartridges from missed shots

[lavish patrol]

Medic 5m from me. I'm right fucking there you donkey!

[solid imp]

always thank your medics

[drowsy shuttle]

This.

[lavish patrol]

I always thank them

[autumn cairn]

If you’re medic you best be equipping ping bing balls

[lavish patrol]

I equip ping balls regardless

[autumn cairn]

Based

I almost never take any other nade type

Class update makes ping balls a gadget freeing up the grenade slot

But makes it recon exclusive

[lavish patrol]

I don't like that

[autumn cairn]

It should stay as a nade alternative

Less nade spam more utility

If I can’t take bing ping ding Ming balls

I will just take frag

[lavish patrol]

This is the downside the class system. There will always be a least favorite class among the community.

[ebon pilot]

at least now it's not because of weapon selection

[ebon pilot]

they should pull an Apex and make it so you can press H to automatically thank a person if they fulfilled a request like healing, ammo, or revive

[magic bloom]

Only good thing about that game tbh

[autumn cairn]

When are they going to add passenger planes into 2042

64 slot jet

[vocal zenith]

prox nade are just broken lol

if every clss have it

it might not be able to kill people

but you sure as hell win a lot of gunfights thanks to it lol

[hexed mango]

hey guys. i just cut my pp off from extended barrel to no barrel

[hexed mango]

and make the thanks more apparent. i always thank.

[drowsy shuttle]

So.. that means now you dont have a pp?

[hexed mango]

sure

[patent prism]

Hello fellow humans

[solid imp]

turns out smoke grenade headshot does 4 damage lol

nevermind that I hadn't had enough coffee to realize what I threw but... oh well

[patent prism]

I have noticed that the motion sensor also inflicts some damage on hitting a person.

[magic bloom]

WOOOOO I DID IT BABY FINALLY

[solid imp]

WOOOO YES

nice work

[patent prism]

Congratumalations

[arctic grove]

Now you can run the blast resistant headgear with the combat uniform

Which looks sick

[magic bloom]

Dozer drip on point tbh

[solid imp]

dozer's reds and sleeve tattoos look amazing

one of the best t1 operator skins in the game

[patent prism]

I kinda never liked Dozer, likely because I have never played as him, only against.

[magic bloom]

Raos is probably my favorite

[vocal zenith]

hes pretty easy to counter tho

[crimson spade]

dozer is op in close quarters combat

[solid imp]

he should be

that's his whole thing lol

[patent prism]

Feel free to enlighten me as to how.

[solid imp]

run 🙂

[vocal zenith]

i usually either incindiary noob tube em or switch to my glock and hip fire him lol

[crimson spade]

when i see a dozer with a shield i recoil that mf with the launcher

[magic bloom]

Until you do what I do when they run I just pull out my 12m and blast them

[vocal zenith]

dozer is resistant to explosions but not to fire lol

m5 to his shields maybe brings him down to 50% health

[solid imp]

which makes it interesting trying to counter dozer with zain... it works..... ok...

[drowsy shuttle]

You absolutely mad lad.

[patent prism]

I just roll with Casper most of the time. I barely ever use the drone though, which I probably should be a good teammate and do more often.

[magic bloom]

If I’m being honest dozer T1 wasn’t even that bad

[vocal zenith]

try fire it works wonders againts dozer lol

[magic bloom]

Casper’s has been the worst cause it’s so boring

[solid imp]

sundance took by far the longest of any spec to t1

[patent prism]

I shall attempt these magic methods in the future, thank you.

[solid imp]

hated that grind

never playing them again lol

[magic bloom]

I wanna get Sundance

But I’m not torturing myself even more

[vocal zenith]

i recomend if your gun has the option for a underbarrel nade launcher to bring incindiary its very usefull not only for flushing ppl behind cover but works as well as HE grenade launcher

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah its the easist and i wont do it cause its too boring.. (and i have already 4500 spots.. but 8000? Fuck that.. also his t1 skin is not that cool)

[kindred flint]

spots and assists

[patent prism]

Fair

[magic bloom]

I like his T1 skin

[hallow sierra]

dont try it it would take a lot of suffering to get her t1

[magic bloom]

Rao was probably the most non boring one though cause you get it just by doing your job

[hallow sierra]

especially after her nerf

[magic bloom]

Time to torture myself even more and T1 the MCS

[vocal zenith]

my issue with rao is he is incredibly boring to play

wish the hacking gadget had more mechanics

[magic bloom]

I Love playing rao

[solid imp]

Since Zain came along I have been mostly combo Zain+Lis but Rao always holds a special place 🙂

[patent prism]

One thing that has gotten me killed and annoyed me from day one has been the range indicators in optics not being even remotely accurate.

[magic bloom]

Why would you trust that

[patent prism]

Mind you I come from 8 800 hours of Arma 3, so that does play a role in that.

[vocal zenith]

yea dont rely on them although the range indicators for the recoliless m5 is pretty accurate for every notch is 100m

[drowsy shuttle]

Dozer, boris, crawford, lis and casper i wont t1 them. The first 4 because i dont play with them (also because the challenges are crazy grinding) and casper because is not worth it.

[patent prism]

Oh yeah, on the M5 they work perfectly

[solid imp]

boris used to be fun 😦

and his turret buff if you're inside the magic circle makes it interesting tactically to make that work

[edgy oriole]

casper is easiest out of the list and its kinda fun if your into spying on people without them knowing like a little stinker.

[vocal zenith]

caspers passive is honestly underated

[hallow sierra]

im going to t1 the railgun once i get my break from school

[vocal zenith]

casper + proximity nade is like amazing

[topaz field]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/U9xaDQC1Puk

[vocal zenith]

if you start getting red throw the prox nade and kill them

[crimson spade]

i got to max mastery with casper

[edgy oriole]

i once droned a guy trying to run over a teammate he missed and jumped out. then my teammate jumped in the vehicle and killed him. it was funny af

[lavish patrol]

Wasn't casper broken on launch because of the c5 drones?

[vocal zenith]

u can skill do it

[arctic grove]

Yes

[vocal zenith]

its just droen slows down the more c5 u put on it

[arctic grove]

Casper was absolutely broken

[drowsy shuttle]

I play with casper... just spot 8000 people is not worth for his t1 skin... maybe i will do it over time.. ike sometimes i run the drone and let it stay in the air while playing.. but i wont grind it.

[arctic grove]

There was literally no effective counter to c5 drones

[patent prism]

So quick question; with the return of classes in the near future, and the proximity sensor throwable becoming a gadget, will it be "rechargable"?

[arctic grove]

I put a couple hours into zoning out on 128bt to get it

[magic bloom]

I Just fly his drone around doing Amazon deliveries of meds or ammo

[drowsy shuttle]

Lol

[vocal zenith]

yea i dont like casper t1

i prefer the skin we got for this season for casper

from the BP

[arctic grove]

Casper somehow got free skins even cooler than his T1

[vocal zenith]

im just saying continuous warning about enemy nearby is severely underated

[patent prism]

The only thing I am interested in this battle pass is the M90 camouflage patterns. 🇸🇪

[arctic grove]

Casper imo is a good designed character to begin with

[autumn cairn]

T1 head with event body is a goated combo for Casper

[drowsy shuttle]

I never liked casper skins from launch.. his cammo looks like a wig from halloween

[crimson spade]

took me like 2 months, gets boring to always spot people with drones I normally did it for like 30 seconds often, finally got it when week 3 came out since i just hid and it was a whole easy grind just going in the air and spotting like 20 people at once who were defending the objective

[soft swallow]

Will this month have the Class System update? It would be exciting

[crimson spade]

his world ender one isn't bad tbh, but it looks like a tusken raider

[crimson spade]

20th january

[magic bloom]

Goes great if you a MAV driver since it’s literally just a small Jawa crawler

[soft swallow]

Official?

[drowsy shuttle]

I did it like 3 times flying the drone.. then i was too bored and just wanna shoot people

[crimson spade]

comes with the 3.2 update which is on the 20th

[soft swallow]

Yeah baby!

[vocal zenith]

also why doesnt casper drone not have the same ability as the mav

[arctic grove]

Avancys was a pain to get but holy shit this gun is good.

[vocal zenith]

u know detonate enemy gadgets or explosive

[crimson spade]

mb, it says august 23rd, i think im not sure you will have to check my bad bro

[patent prism]

I'm a maniac for reconnaissance so I use the motion sensor excessively, still getting adjusted to the whole gadget thing and attachment swapping in BF2042 (got the game like 7 days ago) so I haven't used the drone too much.

[soft swallow]

It's my favourite LMG

[arctic grove]

Remembers me about the HAMR from Bo2 lol.

[soft swallow]

Well anyway they are all weapons inspired by existing weapons

[drowsy shuttle]

I have an idea for profile cards.. instead of the 3 badges, should be like small icons or bars referent to the things you already t1... like a list or something.. that way you could stack more.. like in the military

[soft swallow]

M5A3 it's literally an M4A1

[arctic grove]

Lol, for sure

[patent prism]

what

[arctic grove]

The XM5 is technically the M4s successor

PP29 is a PP-19 Bizon

[soft swallow]

Wait a second... what weapon is the AC-42?

[arctic grove]

It fires a totally new cartridge and fits a new objective goal for the US

[patent prism]

Frankengun

[arctic grove]

Mainly defeating adversary body armor

[arctic grove]

I have no idea tbf

I think the AC42 is the only really fictional one

[soft swallow]

AK-24 is the new AK-12

[vocal zenith]

ac42 is a real gun

[arctic grove]

Oh is it?

[soft swallow]

The railgun too

[vocal zenith]

the name is different

[arctic grove]

They're saying its a bullpup AR

[patent prism]

It's not, it's inspired by a real gun though. Steyr AUG if memory serves.

[arctic grove]

Yea S3 guns are definitely the weapon team having fun

[vocal zenith]

leme check

i swear i remeebr watching a video about it

[arctic grove]

Just got the M416 last night, what a throwback lol this gun is good as hell. Just wish I had some more attachments

[soft swallow]

Like this one?

[patent prism]

I stand corrected; it is not AUG inspired.

https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Battlefield_2042#.22AC-42.22

[arctic grove]

Yep

[vocal zenith]

also i just learned recently the m5a3 is a real thing lol

[patent prism]

I keep getting the aesthetic of the IWI Tavor and Steyr AUG confused.

[arctic grove]

Yes it is

[patent prism]

Yes, NGSW-R winner.

[arctic grove]

It’s the XM5/sig spear mcx

[vocal zenith]

i think its called the SIG spear

too bad probably will never go to civilian hands lol

[patent prism]

SIG MCX Spear, yeah, designation XM5 in the US military.

[arctic grove]

It could but probably only 5.56 and will take like 40 yrs

[vocal zenith]

yea but missing out of the cool next generation ammo

[arctic grove]

National Guard when they get the XM5 in the late 2060s /j

[patent prism]

Well, don't SIG already sell semi-auto only MCX Spear copies? Although maybe not in the proprietary 6.8 Fury or whatever the cartridge is called.

[vocal zenith]

the shell casings in game look like the brass steel ammo thats in the real thing too lol

[arctic grove]

Is the marines adopting the xm5? I heard they were going to the m27 unless that’s super old news

But imo for the Marines new roles for future combat I’d expect them to receive them

[vocal zenith]

woundn't it make more sense logistically for all branches to use the same weaapon lol

[arctic grove]

Marines gave their tanks to the Army since they wanna become lighter for littoral combat

[vocal zenith]

plus the spear is supposed to be all purpose anyways

[patent prism]

I recall reading an article about the Marine Corps sort of glancing at the XM5 but this was some time ago now.

I doubt Marines are gonna get funding to replace the M27 IAR and M38 SDMR in the foreseeable future.

[spiral folio]

They're not scaling up use of the xm5 til they get the ammo plant set up

[patent prism]

Yes, it would, but the United States military branches, as far as I know, all have separate R&D departments as well as procurement chains and such. Which is a nightmare logistically.

Take that with a bit of salt though.

[spiral folio]

Forgotten weapons theorized that at least. Makes sense to not issue everyone a new gun before they build up ammo for it

[arctic grove]

So it could probably be a couple decades then

[spiral folio]

The high pressure one with the steel cap for the primer especially needs a lot of buildup

Nah 2-5 years maybe

[arctic grove]

Ah

[rocky kraken]

portal weapons need more customization

Dice 🙂

[spiral folio]

Just depends when this plant is built

They were saying the 6.8 fury fires at 80ksi which would blow out the end of a brass shell

5.7 is around 60k

[vocal zenith]

nvm aparently u can buy the sig spear with the new fury ammo lol

its 8,000$

[arctic grove]

I suppose I assumed a couple decades since I assumed they’d gradually phase it going down

Which is why I made the national guard getting them in the 2060s joke

[spiral folio]

Basic and guard will probably burn through em til they stop working or run out of greentips

[vocal zenith]

2060s we be getting using railguns lol

hopefully

honestly i still think the future of armaments is railgun instead of gunpowder

[spiral folio]

Probably caseless ammo long before that

[vocal zenith]

isnt a railgun technically caseless lol?

[spiral folio]

No its fantasy

[vocal zenith]

its just a sabot

[spiral folio]

Unless theres a massive breakthrough in capacitors or instant power delivery

[vocal zenith]

true

i think the only country actively working on railguns is japan and china

[arctic grove]

I heard we switched from railgun to hypersonic

Here in the US

[vocal zenith]

but china has no proof, japan has proof and they barrels lasts for 100+ shots rn i think

[spiral folio]

Like the general atomics railgun has like 8 containers full of capacitors to reach mach 5 or something

Which is slightly bigger than the railgun tank

[lavish patrol]

Yay, got the most kills award finally

[spiral folio]

Youd have to mount it on a train

[vocal zenith]

its crazy the tank we have in bf2042 shoots projectiles at 3000m/s

which is almost mach 9 lol

[spiral folio]

The goal was i think 9/10 but they cancelled the project

Making a tank with it less likely in 20 years

[patent prism]

Yeah, you don't want to end up like Germany did when they introduced the StG 44 into service without having an adequate ammunition storage or production of 7.92x33 Kurz. If I recall correctly, the soldiers were issued like 3 magazines each for the StG 44.

[spiral folio]

It took em like over 50 years to replace the m16 so i dont have a ton of confidence theyll design/build/field a new tank in 20

The most unrealistic part though is the charge before firing

No military would field a tank that did that

[vocal zenith]

yea i think that is just for balancing lol

a real railgun can have charge built up in the capacitors and release all of it instantly

[patent prism]

Isn't the US Army currently undertaking a program to replace the Bradley as well? NGCV, Next Generation Combat Vehicle or something along those lines.

[spiral folio]

Yea currently the bradley is about to be replaced slated by 2030

They also started producing a new light tank

[vocal zenith]

do u think the latv4 make sense irl lol

[patent prism]

I think that's a project that might actually go through as they have started replacing the M113s with turretless Bradleys from BAE Systems.

[vocal zenith]

straping a 30mm cannon on top of a lightly armored vehicle lol

[lavish patrol]

They need to bring back ammo and health stations on cap points

That was one of my favorite features in BFV

[patent prism]

Afaik it's based on a real vehicle, except the armament. Edit: It's called HDT Storm or something like that.

[spiral folio]

The strykers only like 15 tons and theres a 30mm version

I think theyre phasing out the 105mm gun one

[vocal zenith]

30mm cannon creates a shit ton of shrapnel in dont think firing it on a vehicle without windows is smart lol

[patent prism]

Yeah, I seem to remember reading about that too.

[spiral folio]

Its really just too much

And doesnt fit a ton of situations

[patent prism]

I think you meant to say recoil there, in which case I agree, strapping it to a vehicle like the LATV would probably not be advisable for long-term sustainability.

[spiral folio]

Like any time youd need that much firepower you'd want a tank

[patent prism]

Ehhhhh, there's also a question of logistics with the M1129 MGS and the Stryker family as a whole really

[spiral folio]

Somebody said they cant load the V hull ones into a c130 so it lost that mobility/deployability

[vocal zenith]

well i also mean like if u fire near the vehicle wouldnt u be showered by sharpnel lol

[patent prism]

Having interchangable parts within the brigade is rather easier than several different incompatible parts.

[magic bloom]

But why I like anti tonk stryker : (

[patent prism]

Ah, yeah, but if you're firing that close to yourself, shrapnel is likely the least of your concerns.

[vocal zenith]

fair lol

[spiral folio]

They also I think phased out the ATGM one

[magic bloom]

Tow missiles at Epic

[spiral folio]

Cause it fired TOWs

[magic bloom]

Hell on a wire literally

[spiral folio]

I think they replaced it with javelins or something

[magic bloom]

Yeah I think so

[spiral folio]

Tows are some antiques now

[magic bloom]

There were a few Huey’s in Vietnam with Tows on them

I mean tow missiles still work quite well though

[patent prism]

I think they still have them on the TO&E but are starting to slowly replace them with rifle company anti-tank capabilities instead. IIRC they only had the M1134 in service with the RSTA squadrons in the SBCTs

I, as a proud Swedish dude, am rather hopeful that the CV90 platform will win the current NGCV program for the optionally manned fighting vehicle.

[magic bloom]

Imagine what lockeed Martin would cook up with the skunk works division.

[patent prism]

Anyways, I have shit to do in the morning, goodnight.

[magic bloom]

Bye

[modest dust]

does anybody know any milsim servers that are good for 2042?

dead servers 😂

[lavish patrol]

I doubt they exist

If you want milsim, go play ARMA

[modest dust]

they do theyre just not good 💀

[magic bloom]

Why would you play milsim In battlefield

Let alone this one

[lavish patrol]

Then that means they don't exist

[drowsy shuttle]

Dont understand the thing about the pp.. the rate of fire sucks... unless its my pc

[kindred flint]

standard ammo is nice for the fire rate

[lavish patrol]

PP starts out with high power

Has lower ROF IIRC

[drowsy shuttle]

Yes but still.. im losing fights that with other weapons i wouldnt lose

[kindred flint]

are you pointing the end of your pp at the enemy?

[drowsy shuttle]

Yes. Head towards enemy

Maybe is the responsiveness (dont even know if that word is well written) of my pc... but feels weak

Lag maybe or dsync

[dim dagger]

i cant find a match. crossplay on or off, it sits there, 1/128

i am in syd australia btw

is there anything i can do?

[drowsy shuttle]

Maybe thats the problem

Player base is not that big

[willow sky]

i do miss back when bf2042 was released milsim was pretty huge at first

but then it died in like 2 weeks 💀

[arctic grove]

bf4 milsim seems better tbh or even bf1

[dim dagger]

damn

thats sad

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah

[dim dagger]

im not a big fan of FPS games but i really enjoyed this one

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah its alright

[feral moss]

is 2042 still shit

[lavish patrol]

It's in a good place now

[feral moss]

ok

[vocal zenith]

it might still be shit but hey its fun

also we getting specialist rework like literally any day now for update 3.2 which will make it more like a traditional BF game

[arctic grove]

never was, it’s the best battlefield

[hollow iris]

I decided to drive a tank far behind our lines and I got obliterated by infantry, other than that it's kinda fun

[feral moss]

imo i loved bfv

[spiral folio]

Bf finally freed itself of the stupid classes just for people to demand chains again

[arctic grove]

BAAAAHAAHAAAASED classes

[feral moss]

but since my bfv is broken and the game wont launch i gotta choose 2042,4 or 1

[arctic grove]

Choose 4 and 1 ngl

[spiral folio]

4s gonna be nothing but botters botting each other by now

[idle plank]

cant sign onto EA to play bf42, anybody else having issues ??

[tough folio]

the su57 has a higher turnspeed, basically making dogfights against the 35 trivial, unless the pilot knows how to use the vtol movement tech to gain an upperhand

[hollow iris]

You could build things it was badass why didn't they keep that :(

[feral moss]

yeah

[arctic grove]

4 and 1 are good but be careful with your servers

[feral moss]

i fucking hate 4

its so boring

[arctic grove]

I heard official dice servers are fucked

[idle plank]

oh ok,,,,,, not me then haha

[arctic grove]

How dare you insult my favorite Battlefield game?

personally insults you /j

[spiral folio]

Bf1 if you play any ea server they'll have a bot like reliably unfortunately

You might get a few games in but one shows up

[hollow iris]

Titanfall treatment or just neglected

[copper fulcrum]

2042 is pretty good atm

There's like not a single other shooter I'd rather play atm

[arctic grove]

It’s even better than V

[tough folio]

plus i killed 35's more easily then i kill su57's

[copper fulcrum]

Well V was too restrictive for it to be good imo

[arctic grove]

cmon cmon someone take the bait

[copper fulcrum]

Getting in a vehicle, movement and camera locking animation you can't cancel.
Wanna revive, movement and camera locking animation
Wanna get out a vehicle, movement and camera locking animation

[arctic grove]

I usually don’t bait like that but when people come in like “is the game still shit” I consider it fair game

[spiral folio]

2042 should remove weapon customization in battle because no bf game has had it before.
"For balance"

Same logic people use for classes

[hollow iris]

Your Mother or similar Parental Guardian

[arctic grove]

[copper fulcrum]

2042 has variety within the maps for battlegrounds so the Plus system makes sense. Outside the Hourglass arena, use maybe a compensator with a hybrid sight.

Get inside the arena, switch to a red dot and a suppressor

[arctic grove]

It’s not just about open loadouts never being done before they just suck

[spiral folio]

I dunno which i hate more. The transport chopper / flying tank in 2042 or the fighters in bf5

[hollow iris]

My logic is I wanna look good and these mfs ugly

[arctic grove]

Imo the only gadget that I think works in open loadouts fairly is armor

[copper fulcrum]

Honestly I enjoy the transport choppers just because they can actually spawn people on it

[spiral folio]

How do they suck
You can choose a premade template

[copper fulcrum]

BFV had like zero spawnable air vehicles

[arctic grove]

Rockets and spawn beacons + ammo and health box being in open loadout is dumb

[spiral folio]

So if YOU choose the wrong build its YOUR fault

[tough folio]

bro hates the transport somehow lol

[cyan trout]

I don't think the complaint is about the open loadouts so much as the open gadget

[arctic grove]

If you want to you can restrict yourself like that but most people just use it to self sustain

Which damages teamplay incentives

[spiral folio]

Somehow?
Mf can eat 5 rockefs and fly away to repair like nothing happened

[arctic grove]

• the infantry and vehicle balancing

[copper fulcrum]

Another thing that bugs me about BFV is that all planes take up one slot

[spiral folio]

Classes WILL NOT CREATE TEAMPLAY

[arctic grove]

There’s literally less loss when someone runs a certain kit in 2042 because there’s 63 other darn teammates.

[hollow iris]

Yeah everyone having rockets has been my bane can't get 2 feet before the seagulls descend on me

[spiral folio]

If you want morons to work together. You bribe them

[arctic grove]

“Oh but open loadouts still make you sacrifice!” Not when there’s 63 other people

[copper fulcrum]

On the bright side, more people will play as Engineers and more people will play as Supports

[idle plank]

well, bf42 aint working, play some bl2 instead

[spiral folio]

If you think there's never ammo when you need it wait til fewer classes carry ammo

[kindred flint]

tfw you spawn in your squadmates bomber to use as a spawn point..but the exit animation takes so long youre 400m away from where you bailed out at, and off the map

[arctic grove]

I don’t think class system will magically fix teamply because that’s still individually up to players to give a shit about you

What it WILL do is better restrict the classes so you’ll see picks which are more likely to execute the class role effectively

[solar obsidian]

[spiral folio]

If they want people to work together they meed to give better incentives

[solid imp]

Drawing from where tho? Not sure you'll convince anyone who mains Mackay or Sundance to switch to Engineer

[arctic grove]

What’s the point in engie when you can suddenly be recon

[hollow iris]

Im the only person playing engineer I've seen unless im in a heli

[spiral folio]

Clases are not an incentive its a rail

[vocal zenith]

classes wont create teamplay might be true but it will stop people from being one man army so they kinda get penelized for not working together aka running out of ammo, inability to take down vehicles, etc...

[arctic grove]

This

[copper fulcrum]

The people who use ammo crates to self-sustain likely will

[kindred flint]

bring on max classes reached lockouts

[copper fulcrum]

no

[arctic grove]

Classes have always simply better defined specific team play roles by restricting you accordingly

Nobody will choose Engineer, if they don’t wanna play engineer

And when you do choose a support role, your only gadgets are relevant to it

[cyan trout]

Everyone uses gadgets to self sustain in 2042.

[solid imp]

😂 my engineer kit is ready... I'll still be doing engineer stuff as I'm already doing

[vocal zenith]

for example ppl playing falck and not fkn healing or reviving, etc classes should hopefully lessen this

[arctic grove]

2042 simply has less incentive to teamplay is what I’m saying

[copper fulcrum]

And you get the repair tool

[solid imp]

exactly

[arctic grove]

Cause if you can resupply your own gadget and gun ammo who gives a damn about Angel unless you’re bored of your current loadout and want revives

Which usually people skip revives or will redeploy to a new class anyways

[magic bloom]

Advanced engineering have you gotten your 11 PHD’s?

[spiral folio]

Yes itll make things WORSE

the people who want to fight will be hobbled looking for ammo. And the people too stupid to give allies ammo will be too timid to do so because fewer people can carry med kits, and those people wont have ammo and cant push

The only people who dont get screwed by the clases thing are the people so dumb they just pile dead bodies on flags and don't live long enough to need more ammo or get healed

[kindred flint]

your loadout must be bugged there, its showing a railgun

[solid imp]

🤣

[arctic grove]

To be fair I think your example envisions a con OF the class system, and not what’s bound to happen cause of it

[vocal zenith]

basicly the neebs

[copper fulcrum]

Just use a Railgun, a Throwing Knife and C5

[hollow iris]

Best engineer in 2042

[solid imp]

still launching seagulls even after 3.2

[vocal zenith]

dont forget we also getting the javelin next patch i think

[solid imp]

that's the only thing that's giving me pause about my AT mine obsession

[arctic grove]

The class system isn’t bound to have you hung up for ammo. That’s just a side effect of it that CAN happen

On the other hand open loadouts have proven to have worst cons imo

[spiral folio]

It might benefit spray and pray and short lives. But it'll cripple people who dont die constantly

[hollow iris]

AWESOME MORE INFANTRY LAUNCHERS

[vocal zenith]

hope dice adds the smaw too

[solid imp]

that would be pog

[magic bloom]

Luckily this game has me as an ammo guy

[solid imp]

we need a rocket that moves at rocket speeds

[kindred flint]

cant wait to play irish with my repair tool

[spiral folio]

Javelins eh
Finally getting 90s technology

[arctic grove]

Tbf javelin is still very effective right?

[spiral folio]

It is

[vocal zenith]

yea

it is

[spiral folio]

But i mean its not future

[magic bloom]

Yes extremely effective

[hollow iris]

Isn't the javelin more like handheld artillery?

[arctic grove]

I’d question it against APS but I doubt Russia has enough of that and China maybe the same

[vocal zenith]

it has tandem warheads

[arctic grove]

Although that’s more so I’m the realm of the real world

[solid imp]

We should maybe see more soflam in squads that take the time to coordinate? Is there any dependency on soflam for the jav?

[vocal zenith]

APS in real life doesnt work againts top down munitions or at least work well

[arctic grove]

Javelins self locks if I’m understanding you correctly

[spiral folio]

Look up the Raytheon 40mm Pike missike

[arctic grove]

It wouldn’t require soflam

[solid imp]

well...

in previous BF

[magic bloom]

I think it would help lock up tanks faster

[solid imp]

you could self lock and direct fire

or have the target painted and it auto did top-down

[arctic grove]

Ohh interesting

[kindred flint]

soflam would let you lock behind a wall?

[magic bloom]

I mean you could probably paint aircraft with it in this game

[spiral folio]

Its a 40mm missile launched from a grenade launcher, laser guided

[kindred flint]

or would it just do it faster

[vocal zenith]

btw

has anyone tested to see if irish aps protects againts top down??

[idle plank]

WISH i cud use soflam & rocket launcher at the same time 😉

[solid imp]

[magic bloom]

I Imagine it would once it comes into view

[vocal zenith]

i remeber being able to hit tanks surrounded with irish aps by flying the lis missiles in a top down fashion

[tough folio]

eww

[solid imp]

recon gets the magic mortar binoculars when?

[magic bloom]

I mean the Javalin needs to be able to go through tank APS in this game otherwise it’s pointless since every tank player will use APS

[solid imp]

doesn't only the ram have aps right now?

[magic bloom]

AA Mine for Engie when?

[solid imp]

(not a tank driver)

[magic bloom]

Yes but MBT’s are getting them too

[vocal zenith]

ram has APS

?

really

i though only the railtank have it

[solid imp]

yeah it goes green then red like it's christmas on that little thing

[magic bloom]

The MBT’s are going to be getting it

[solid imp]

forgot that, good call

they did specifically say it would be incoming

some producer tweet iirc?

[kindred flint]

soon.tm

[lavish patrol]

I thought the tanks already got APS?

[left badge]

boris is a dilf

[magic bloom]

I feel like the Javalin needs to have a chance of going through APS considering rao isn’t an engineer and can’t disable it (even though I think rao would be an excellent engineer)

[solid imp]

if they have a gunner as Irish throwing APS out in front of them lol

[magic bloom]

The railgun tank and ram yes

[tough folio]

thats lame, thats like saying rao should be able to disable prefired flares

[solid imp]

So this... this is an interesting question where I couldn't make up my mind if Rao would be a better engineer or recon.

[magic bloom]

That’s not what I’m saying…

[solid imp]

I get their decision but it's interesting to mull over

Everyone was using Rao as an engineer for a long time because it just makes sense

[magic bloom]

I’m saying he should be able to disable the tank from activating the APS before it even starts

[lavish patrol]

Yeah Rao seems more engi than recon

Considering his lore background

[arctic grove]

tell you what

let's have Duo classes

[vocal zenith]

i guess the only reason he is recon is when he gets shot it shows where the enemy is and if u hack infantry it spots them

[arctic grove]

[ebon pilot]

Considering lore background, half the cast should be engineers

[drowsy shuttle]

So used to 128p bt from the event that went back to 64p feels so empty and the maps too big

[magic bloom]

Honestly Boris feels more like a recon than rao if I’m being honest

[solid imp]

But so much of what makes him fun to use is around messing with the other team in other subtle ways that aren't as overt as being an engineer... those red steel doors getting hacked is really clutch sometimes, as is spotting a burst of enemies around your hacked victim

[lavish patrol]

Nah, Boris is more pimp than engineer

[lusty temple]

Falck for life

[austere otter]

is ea down or someting? my game will not launch

[ebon pilot]

But Angel and Casper are both engineers in lore. And yet

[magic bloom]

Casper wasnt an engineer

[solid imp]

Casper is an engineer in the lore?

[magic bloom]

He was special forces

[ebon pilot]

I thought he was

[magic bloom]

No

[ebon pilot]

Someone lied to me

[solid imp]

those scalliwags

[magic bloom]

Someone also tried to tell me he was a pilot cause of his skin

[drowsy shuttle]

I thought casper was a former ghost?

[solid imp]

oh when you got the pilot skin automatically when you hopped in an air vehicle in pilot seat 🙂

it's an homage to that lol

[magic bloom]

That’s like saying rao is a pilot cause he has his name on a F35

[lusty temple]

Its crazy how Casper is one letter away from being called camper

[magic bloom]

What

[solid imp]

Now hang on, I've long thought Casper should have some "getting spotted" resistance of some kind

he is supposed to be a camper really

he's a sitting duck when he's droning

[lavish patrol]

You know, Zain's airburst doesn't feel overpowered, not like what it was in BF4

[magic bloom]

I mean it makes so much sense for a sniper to have a big ass red light on him

[solid imp]

lol

like at mines

"dodge me"

[magic bloom]

“Shoot me right in the face please”

[solid imp]

AT mine skins when?

[magic bloom]

AA Mine when?

[solid imp]

lol

I would love that

[magic bloom]

Those little things were so cool

[drowsy shuttle]

I think the same

[lusty temple]

The game just needs more voicelines and sound effects for it to be more grit imo

[arctic grove]

I only saw one clip of the AA mine ever being used

[lavish patrol]

Probably because in BF4, the peeking was what made it OP

[magic bloom]

When they add the EOD bot there better be a T1 skin for it and that skin would be bright gold

[arctic grove]

But I’m sure it was used a lot when it’s DLC was new

[arctic grove]

Agreed

[magic bloom]

I used it in conjunction with a stinger

[arctic grove]

They totally changed up Mackays voice lines

[lusty temple]

Claymore is gonna be a campers wet dream

[arctic grove]

Now I want them to do the same for everyone else

[magic bloom]

Cause I was being a dick head

[vocal zenith]

im just gonna use it for free kils

ima put it on ladders and rapeels lol

[solid imp]

BF2 (and maybe 3+4?) if you took pilot seat you took a pilot skin but retained the kit you spawned as

[magic bloom]

I Wonder if the claymore in this game will have wires like the previous games or be a cod copy and be laser tripped

[magic bloom]

Ohhhh you meant that

[solid imp]

I seem to recall if you got out of the pilot seat you kept the pilot skin still until your next death?

I think?

[lusty temple]

I really want claymores to just give you 50 damage and mark where you are for the enemy

[magic bloom]

Also yeah it was in 4 I know

Yes you kept it til you died

[arctic grove]

I’d say the claymores for balance should be laser

Wires are very easy to miss

[lusty temple]

Instead of it just being insta-kill

[solid imp]

if the claymores don't have a big af red blinking light imma be mad lol

[arctic grove]

They should definitely be 1 hit kill imo

Just with lasers

[magic bloom]

EOD bot should be indestructible.

[solid imp]

ooh

mcom arming lol

I miss EOD mcom arming

[magic bloom]

I cant wait to strap C4 to it and make a suicide drone like what that German mini tank bomb was

[lusty temple]

EOD bots have the same vibe as dozer coming at you with his shield

[solid imp]

dozer vs EOD...

[magic bloom]

They’re fuckin intimidating I swear

[solid imp]

*zap
*bash
*zap
*bash

[magic bloom]

I cant wait for the class rework so I can be toxic as dozer

[solid imp]

oh no... dozer RIDING on an EOD

[magic bloom]

12M, medpen, armor plates, throwing knives and of course dozer

I’m gonna make people uninstall

[lusty temple]

Dozer isn't that menacing if you have someone with you and you're out in the open but once its a closed location and you're by yourself you better start running...

[solid imp]

how many dozers can you fit on an EOD bot.. make that thing bulletproof

monstrosity goes whirring down the road

[magic bloom]

I will pull a bf4 and big iron you with a revolver from my shield

[vocal zenith]

IMAGINE dozer shields have a flash bang straped to it

[magic bloom]

I mean I either kill you or it’s suddenly Not my problem anymore

[vocal zenith]

like blitz from r6

[lusty temple]

Imagine a Shootdown sentinel on a EOD bot

[magic bloom]

Blitz?

[vocal zenith]

yea

[magic bloom]

I’m gonna do it thanks for the idea

[vocal zenith]

how broken will he be lol

[kindred flint]

personally id put a claymore on my shield

[magic bloom]

“Front towards enemy”

They never said I couldn’t bash it against one

[kindred flint]

or a fuze charge facing the enemy...

[vocal zenith]

u know we talking about lasers or tripwires for claymore but isnt that a warcrime lol

[lusty temple]

Nah better yet EOD bot on a casper drone

[tough folio]

chads would put c4 on their jet to get kills lmao

[kindred flint]

bro its 2042..there is no world court anymore

[magic bloom]

Flying repair tool

[solid imp]

I'd polish that dozer shield to a mirror finish so my victim can look into their own soul at the end... go for that existential type attack tactic

[lusty temple]

Dozer is pretty shit to play on console

[vocal zenith]

fair we are playing mercernaries (no-pats lol)

[magic bloom]

No pants*

[kindred flint]

just have an led screen on your shield with a facial recognition camera on it, so you could display your opponents credit score/loan debt

[magic bloom]

Or note pads

[magic bloom]

“I’ve come to see you about your cars extended warranty”

[solid imp]

can you imagine if you could put custom skins on that shield.. big 'ol clown face running at you

[vocal zenith]

remeber in bf4 where u can make your own icons

[magic bloom]

I’d put a big “get dozed bitch” on mine

[solid imp]

yesssss

those custom icons

[kindred flint]

killdozer, 2042

[vocal zenith]

imagine putting that shit on dozers shields lol

[solid imp]

it was amazing

[magic bloom]

Put a pinup girl on the front of the shield

[solid imp]

battlelog was so great... I miss it in many ways 😦

[vocal zenith]

200iq distractions

[magic bloom]

“Why is there a women in a bikini running towards me at full speed? OH SHIT”

[solid imp]

just a big red arrow pointing off to the side to challenge the target NOT to look away

who doesn't look in the direction the arrow is pointing

[lusty temple]

If you think hard enough, caspers drone is basically the spectate feature of Battlefield 2042

[feral moss]

casper the ghost?

[lusty temple]

The bad thing about it is that its only set in real time

[magic bloom]

Casper the not friendly South African

[solid imp]

casper's drone will be able to do squad promotions next, deploy vehicles on colored smoke, scan for hostiles in a zone, deploy UAV...

[feral moss]

i got gifted 2042 when it came out and i never played it

[solid imp]

play it

it's come a long way

[feral moss]

well like an hour

[idle plank]

lol @ ghost

[feral moss]

i remember the maps being so big and i had no vehicle

[magic bloom]

I would honestly love that

[solid imp]

casper the de facto commander

[lusty temple]

Casper should yell out voice commands to his team on radio if he identifies a large object like a tank or transport heli

[solid imp]

team limited to a single casper

[idle plank]

is there an ETA for the login for bf42 ??

[magic bloom]

You kinda can if you spot it

[solid imp]

oof

[lavish patrol]

Oh shit

[idle plank]

oof!

[solid imp]

no outages on their status page but that's where I would recommend watching
https://help.ea.com/en/battlefield/battlefield-2042/

[lavish patrol]

Yeah it's up for me

No issues on my end

[solid imp]

I had a 10 minute hiccup with "cannot connect" earlier today (several hours ago) but it cleared up pretty quickly

[austere otter]

i currently cant play, i launch ea and it wont sign me in, says problem with network

[solid imp]

I wonder if they have some server stability things going on in a DC somewhere and things are failing over to backup resources type situation

[idle plank]

<<<< jumps up n down in a tantrum

[solid imp]

same earlier.. in game it was "cannot connect" and when I tried to quit/restart I couldn't even login to EA App

not a BF thing, it's an EA thing

[kindred flint]

ddos, end times, everyone panic

[drowsy shuttle]

Wow nice way to end the night , in a game with a obvious cheater lol... 2nd obvious cheater i encountered in bf 2042. And i play since launch

[hollow iris]

He seems fine to me, I just reached mastery II

[lavish patrol]

Okay hol up, I think EA be now derping on me

Yep, IT DERPED

[idle plank]

im a fantastic candidate for cheating software cos im crap gamer, but it never accured to me to cheat

[drowsy shuttle]

Also 64p bt is boring af now that we had a taste of 128p bt.. would be really nice if they brought back 128p bt, but i doubt it. Well its either adapt or move to something else.

[arctic grove]

128 bt plsdiceplsillpayforallthebundlesjustpls

[solid imp]

128 BT is fun but I don't mind 64.. it's just not as chaotic so different flavor of enjoyment

[lavish patrol]

I think EA app is heading for an outage

[arctic grove]

laughs in origin app

[drowsy shuttle]

Ea app is weird af.. if i disable the overlay i also cant use the steam overlay...

[arctic grove]

you regret giving up origin?

[drowsy shuttle]

Origin was shit too...

[arctic grove]

and I have no problems that you mentioned

that makes us even

[drowsy shuttle]

I have a dream, that one day we just need 1 platform.. hopefully steam

[arctic grove]

meanwhile

epic store with free games

[drowsy shuttle]

I rather pay for a game on steam than getting it for free on epic

[spiral folio]

i dont mind steam having competition

[arctic grove]

meanwhile

[spiral folio]

but epic has tencent in em

[arctic grove]

blizzard over here being assholes

[hexed mango]

itll never happen

[arctic grove]

being greedy and launching their own client

[drowsy shuttle]

I actually did that. Bought gta v (on sale) on steam than getting it for free on epic games

[idle plank]

many dont like epic, but i never found out why

[hexed mango]

unless microsoft buys everyone

[arctic grove]

something to do with spyware

[hexed mango]

epic for unreal is the only good thing about it

[idle plank]

oic

[drowsy shuttle]

I know.. but kinda sucks that almost every company has their own platform and then still put their games on steam... at least activision didnt made us use battle net if you bought MW2 on steam

[hexed mango]

true

[arctic grove]

that's my gripe

why bother selling this game on another platform

if you're requiring users to download your client too

[hexed mango]

i bought 2042 on steam cause i had gift cards and i like having games on steam

[drowsy shuttle]

Well because they known they can reach more people with steam.. ill give you an example, during battlefield V era i literally had friends that didnt tried or played the game because was on origin and not on steam. They didnt wanna install origin.

[arctic grove]

and boom

game still needs origin

[lavish patrol]

EA app is down, this could be a possible DDOS attack

[arctic grove]

good job

[hexed mango]

ea app is up for me lol

[idle plank]

DDOS,,,,, somebody is not happy then 😭

[tough folio]

and who would waste their time doing that lmao

[lavish patrol]

You'd be surprised

[arctic grove]

Some radicalized dude on r/battlefield

[arctic grove]

wants to prove a point

[tough folio]

lmao like ea would care about any point being proven lol

[hexed mango]

ok now after closing and reopening ea, its not working

[magic bloom]

I want the LAV-AD to come to this game it would be a much better AA than the wildcat

[tough folio]

anybody who think they could get to ea's thick skull has a thicker skull themselves

[arctic grove]

next thing you know they will threaten an EA employee

I want spawn base AA back

[hexed mango]

dont make the wildcat aa redundant, that's stupid

[arctic grove]

I loved using it to save my ass in bf4

It ripped people apart

[magic bloom]

Yes but rotary barrel amphibious AA

It would literally just be a better wildcat

[arctic grove]

We should have an option to make the wildcat an AA vehicle or AT

[hexed mango]

you can

[arctic grove]

Exactly

[hexed mango]

we already do.

[arctic grove]

so LAV is not need

[hexed mango]

there is an AT rocket

[magic bloom]

The 57 MM cannon fucks tanks which is funny

[arctic grove]

LAV should be Either anti infantry or AA

[magic bloom]

Most of the time you can kill a tank before it kills you

[hexed mango]

you can choose between AA or AT rocket, and the main guns can be 30mm or like asto said, the 57mm

[magic bloom]

It would be nice to have the Bradley come as a IFV

[arctic grove]

TOR kills it from far and its 2 shots

[magic bloom]

Well no shit

I’m talking about normal tanks

[tough folio]

what are the best 2042 heli loadouts. i guess its preference
