battlefield-2042

[solar obsidian]

[royal swan]

It's four years old btw the mouse

[arctic grove]

Infantry breakthrough on discarded is er

not so good

[royal swan]

Or even older

[solar obsidian]

i could smell technical errors from the other discord server

[royal swan]

Aiming is a bit annoying sometimes

It will have those aiming stuttering for a few seconds

[arctic grove]

Well back to normal breakthrough

[solar obsidian]

unplayable

[arctic grove]

Sit in queue I must

[royal swan]

Also for firing, it can click multiple times as I'm holding it down

Not as noticeable on auto fire

[hexed mango]

I love seeing guys with 6kd complaining about the most random shit like bro

[solar obsidian]

"slight issues"

[royal swan]

It's not constant

It's like a few seconds then it won't bother you for quite a while

[solar obsidian]

time to replace it

[royal swan]

Nah

[solar obsidian]

grab one in my mouse graveyard

[placid echo]

I tried the MCS-880 after the update. Now it actually feels like a shotgun

I got a lot of kills that I really would not have gotten before the update

[solar tinsel]

I think I still prefer the S22 more, but it's nice to see the 880 get an update. I tried a round with it but didn't notice much change. Was it specifically only for the default #1 buckshot, or for all ammo types?

[cinder apex]

That's what happens when you get to rank 100

So that person is rank 108

I think

Don't quote me on that idk

[solar tinsel]

yeah no thats correct, S ranks are prestige ranks after 99 (or 100 forgot which)

after you hit that final rank, you go S001, S002, S003 and so forth

You won't unlock anything with each level up, it's just a prestige system at that point

2 months? The game has been out for over a year

oh I mean, well - I'm sure that happened for the few who played nonstop

the highest rank I've seen in-game recently is S550 something

which is pretty dang high considering the XP required for each S level goes up a tiny bit every few levels

typo

[tacit sorrel]

I don’t worry about levels

[solar tinsel]

not much to worry about for sure

[tacit sorrel]

Some ppl should probably touch grass tho

[solar tinsel]

Im pretty sure nobody is offended

[tacit sorrel]

Yea I don’t take games seriously

[arctic grove]

That’s not even what makes the games theme poorly stick

[solar tinsel]

I mean, are you really going to bring up ludonarrative dissonance for a Battlefield game of all things?

You can say that for any FPS multiplayer game to be honest

[arctic grove]

What is happening

Nice cat

Battlefield moments are pretty old to the franchise. hovercrafts climbing skyscrapers doesn’t hold a candle to shooting a clone of myself

One is a funny gameplay incident and then one is what reeeeaaally makes the games theme hard to see immersion in

I miss having squad teamwork with voice chat of bf5 in bf 2042

Bf 2042 feels so introverted lmao

There is

[solar tinsel]

It is in the game for what its worth

[solar obsidian]

blame the players, we have voice chat already

[solar tinsel]

nobody uses it though

[arctic grove]

There is but no one use it

[solar tinsel]

It's off by default, for one, and also people are now just used to it.

[arctic grove]

Yeah man i try to talk to my squads but i get ignored all the time😂😂

Maybe adding some squad reinforcements could help incentivize better teamwork

[solar tinsel]

someones gonna triggered by that comment haha 😂

[solar obsidian]

calling some OG, and xbox in the same sentence dont make sense 😄

[solar obsidian]

just your mainstream marketed games

[arctic grove]

I don’t get the squad leader role so haha hopeless lmao

[gaunt garnet]

I'm horrid at this game

[solar tinsel]

Heck it randomly makes a player squad leader, not like it even matters

[solar obsidian]

aim, and fire when crosshair align with enemy,

[solar tinsel]

I've had a Level 1 be Squad Lead compared to all S ranks

[arctic grove]

Just play more

You’ll get it

[arctic grove]

Just bf2042

[solar obsidian]

i disagree, and its even worse here in europe where some just dont even talk english as basic

[arctic grove]

Aim at the legs, the recoil will do all the work

[gaunt garnet]

Lol they always get me before I get them 🤣

[arctic grove]

I live in Europe papa

Your timing will improve gradually

But you are right, i need to learn some german and french lmao

[solar obsidian]

but no joke, not using voice com is pretty standard in games that target the very mainstream audience,

if you want to play games that promotes using voice chat, play some of the smaller more niche shooters

[solar tinsel]

Definitely, the culture of gaming and VoIP has changed, to simply do private parties

[arctic grove]

It takes the fun out of battlefield tbh

When people don’t communicate

[solar obsidian]

been like that for 15 years now

[arctic grove]

Or when your squad doesn’t attack the same area

[solar obsidian]

thats why you join a clan or something that actively are playing together with each other

[solar tinsel]

They honestly just need an improved commo rose in my opinion with better contextual UI information

[arctic grove]

I will try to join one, bf5 and bf42 are so different

[solar tinsel]

And it wouldnt hurt if there was a commander mode again who could place orders for leaders, and have a reward system that stems from that chain of command

[arctic grove]

Yesss

[solar obsidian]

you want 8 year old timmy to control that?

asking where the lama is

[arctic grove]

Timmy will learn after couple of games

[solar tinsel]

I mean whatever it's a game I'm not gonna be elitist. Anyone can play, but just give priority to rank like BF2 did

[arctic grove]

People are born leaders you can’t learn to be a leader basically

[solar tinsel]

Like, if your squad gets an order. It's presented like a mission objective or quest in other games and it becomes a substantially rewarded activity. Put unlocks behind that shit

[solar obsidian]

based on rank, damn all them cheaters all the sudden

[solar tinsel]

build a culture of allowing a chain of command to allow a team to work together that way

[hexed mango]

there should be incoming squad updates with 3.2 as per what sam has told me

[solar tinsel]

Like if you place a defend order at a base, it turns into a a survival mode where you get points constantly for staying nearby, and extra points for killing enemies in or from that sector, with time bonus rewards for keeping it on your team for lengths of time

[hexed mango]

dunno the extent to those changes, but he said they play for the better

[solar tinsel]

oh really? thats awesome

[arctic grove]

I hope they will put this in the new battlefield

[solar tinsel]

maybe some XP events for following marked objectives, I'd guess

something simple I can see them doing

[arctic grove]

It would feel as if you fight in a army

[hexed mango]

yeah he said that they've been working on teamplay stuff, squads being a big part of that

[gaunt garnet]

Anyone feel like playing with a noob 🤓

[hexed mango]

that's alr in the game

if you cap an obj that's currently the squad lead's ping obj, you get a 150xp (i think) bonus

[solar tinsel]

You don't get bonus XP for doing that though right?

[arctic grove]

If you are from europe we can play

[hexed mango]

you do

[solar tinsel]

When did this happen?

[hexed mango]

squad order complete

uh

a long time ago

[arctic grove]

Like battlefield 5

[hexed mango]

like every bf game

[solar tinsel]

In 2042 though?

[hexed mango]

yes.

[gaunt garnet]

I is from America, sorry

[arctic grove]

Do you have bf5

[solar tinsel]

Either I'm blind, or then again nobody issues orders as squad leader ha

I'll issue them, but I have never seen a reward for when the squad follows it

[arctic grove]

Nobody issues orders anymore

[cinder apex]

Yeah nobody does lol

[hexed mango]

the latter

[gaunt garnet]

2042

[cinder apex]

I don't think it even gives points

[solar tinsel]

thats what Im saying

[hexed mango]

it does

[solar tinsel]

Zainrunner thinks it does

Ive never seen it

[cinder apex]

I heard people say it doesnt

[solar tinsel]

I cant even find a screenshot

[arctic grove]

We can play bf5 together if you have it

[tacit sorrel]

Nobody follows orders anyway

[hexed mango]

there's also a full hidden "Squad Action Ribbon"
doesnt show up on the scoreboard with the other ribbons, but you get extra xp events every so often for squad stuff (squad revive, squad resupply, etc)

there's no perceived max on it cause its not a full ribbon

[solar tinsel]

wait what? lol

[hexed mango]

even tho it says squad ribbon earned as the xp event

[arctic grove]

It feels like when people transitioned from bf5 to bf42 they became unprofessional and rogue

[cinder apex]

Battlefield players try not to run to a secluded corner of the map for the entire game and snipe

[solar obsidian]

they did not know this zain

[cinder apex]

Impossible

[hexed mango]

it just shows up as a short xp event, no top screen banner

squad order plays into that

[solar tinsel]

ah ok maybe I have seen that? now I don't know anymore

[arctic grove]

Thanks @hexed mango for the information

[hexed mango]

np

its all im good for anyways

[solar obsidian]

zainrunner the messenger

[hexed mango]

zainrunner the guy who has played too much 2042 and still sucks at the game

[solar obsidian]

the bringer of truth

[hexed mango]

i wonder what "military tabet" refers to in the files

it says its a gadget

[solar obsidian]

its bait

[hexed mango]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

also the pecheneg is a bullpup?

(pkp)

idk im not a gun nut so idk actually know how that works

unless you count the fallout 4 perk

[solar obsidian]

i dont care, i just shoot and kill,

[hexed mango]

oh actually i wonder how the recoil on the pkp is now

[solar obsidian]

less buggy

[hexed mango]

[tacit sorrel]

Anyone else notice it’s much harder to win matches 75% of my losing teams consists of useless players

[hexed mango]

hi alex

aww i scared him away...

alex.... come back :(

[still solstice]

when is version 3.2 ？

[hexed mango]

sometime this month

[cloud token]

not sure whats going on but the lobbies right now are hella laggy

[rotund grail]

Yeah I just popped in here to check if anyone else is having lag issues

[cloud token]

im shooting but my shots dont come out and then it skips and i die, this guy wasnt even looking at me and i just dropped dead

[rotund grail]

same

I might call it a night and watch some junk

[cloud token]

yeah now games are just frozen on the loading screens, then i have to close the game and relaunch and it launches at the loading screen and crashes, what is this update?

[arctic grove]

Bros im having playing 1942

[hexed mango]

ur having

[arctic grove]

Yes

[hexed mango]

having playing

playing having bros im?

[arctic grove]

im having fun

I cant play and text smh

[hexed mango]

no ur having playing

[arctic grove]

Rush on breakaway is fun

[hexed mango]

not as fun as rush on literally any other map besides hourglass

[arctic grove]

true

Also my only complain is how painfully slow the planes fly

[placid echo]

It mimics how the planes flew in the 1942 game rather well, they were floaty back then

[arctic grove]

Ok thanks

Also anyone knows how to unlock the 1942 vehicle skins???

[next onyx]

Uh I got the b17 skin by just flying and killing people.

50 kills with 1942 planes and one multi kill with the b17.

As far as I know.

[limpid pond]

Any new smgs with today's update?

[placid echo]

Not that I have seen

Well, technically there is one but it's for 1942

[limpid pond]

Heard they added a new shotty

[placid echo]

Also for 1942 https://streamable.com/59tfqc

[limpid pond]

Is that also for 1942?

Gotcha

Dang was really hoping for a new sub

[arctic grove]

Correct me if I’m wrong but did the character ghost load that 12g auto?

[placid echo]

idk

[magic bloom]

No he didn’t ghost load it

[limpid pond]

Wait did the class update drop today?

[magic bloom]

I’m sure you could ghost load an old shotgun like that but I don’t know we’ll they’d work with it

[magic bloom]

No

[limpid pond]

And any cool cosmetics?

[arctic grove]

It would probably combust /j

[magic bloom]

They added a pretty cool one for the jeep

[arctic grove]

Only a vehicle skin bundle this week

[limpid pond]

Dang no smg skins either?

[magic bloom]

No

[limpid pond]

I might just give the game up tbh

[magic bloom]

Unfortunate

Oh well

[limpid pond]

Yeah sad but it's whatever

[magic bloom]

They added a legendary PBX skin last week I think

[limpid pond]

Gaming's tryna go towards a camper playstyle

Yeah I got that already

[magic bloom]

That skin is fire

[limpid pond]

I waited 4 months for it

It was leaked end of season 1

[magic bloom]

Now I just need a legendary for my NVK S22

[limpid pond]

I think the pbx skin would be better if it affected iron sights

Have a more square iron sight

[magic bloom]

I do enjoy how the MCS-880’s made the irons better

I don’t like red dots on my shotguns

Also has anyone tried the 880 yet

[placid echo]

It's pretty good

[magic bloom]

Did Alex finally uncuck us

[placid echo]

It actually feels like a shotgun now

[magic bloom]

That’s epic

Riptor I just realized your name was riptor and not raptor

[arctic grove]

lol

[hexed mango]

oh shit i totally forgot to try it

[placid echo]

12g Automatic with slugs is strong

[hexed mango]

its #01 buck that got buffed yeah

[pearl ridge]

They unfucked the 880?

Shotguns are already at a severe disadvantage with this game's engagement ranges, it did not need ridiculous inconsistency on top of that.

[hexed mango]

yeah buffed pellet damage from 8 -> 15 under 20m

[pearl ridge]

Nice. Too many times I've basically point-blanked someone and only knocked a third of their health off.

[hexed mango]

oh yeah it feels quite nice close up

buff is for #01 buck as per patch notes

[pearl ridge]

Next I need a map that actually lets you live long enough to get that close

[hexed mango]

stranded tact cq

i'd take a 32v32 Tact CQ Grind on Stranded 24/7. shit gives locker vibes

or just play tdm

[pearl ridge]

We need a facility map.

[hexed mango]

spearhead is a facility, no?

:)

[pearl ridge]

No vehicles, plenty of routes around

[hexed mango]

ngl that looks like what s4's map is sorta turning out to be (for some parts)

[pearl ridge]

Not like fucking Locker.

[hexed mango]

i wish i recorded what i just did

fucking wingsuited onto someone and shotgunned them

mcs is cool but the spread is so harsh that anything further than 5-10m is meaningless to shoot at

[cinder apex]

Did they do anything to the other shotguns or was it just the mcs

[hexed mango]

just mcs

[cinder apex]

Based

[hexed mango]

a slight spread tweak to the mcs would be nice.
and perhaps a slight 12m rof nerf (or smth that balances it a bit)

valp has such a shitty tdm layout it makes me eternally mad

[pearl ridge]

Shotgun spread feels pretty damn unforgiving in this.

That's probably half the problem.

[magic bloom]

I mean I understand why it’s so bad

That would be the only weapon people would use if it was realistic

[eager spire]

as it should be tbh

[pearl ridge]

Yeah but this is a game where any dickhead with an AR or even SMG is a legitimate threat at 150m

And somehow shotguns feel even less effective than they were in 4.

Let alone V.

[cloud token]

so annoying when you are doing the vehicle repair and they drive off for no reason

[magic bloom]

I Love when I put my cross hair on a dudes head with a shotgun

And it just misses

Point blank

Or when they just shrug off 3 rounds of buckshot to the chest with no armor

[cloud token]

lots of crashes while loading the map

[solar obsidian]

leap on top of it?

[safe verge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/264720208550166528/1064859233339850791/trim.765ABC26-2E4E-4F20-98E1-83C3CCA5FD30.mp4

for real, i agree with that

the guns are weird

[chilly jacinth]

you could always try playing better

[ebon pilot]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/850376380822323230/1051545689802428476/image.png

[low timber]

And the funny part is that it’s damage got doubled

[ebon pilot]

Back then it was nuts, you could one-shot people across a room with it

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/850376380822323230/1060444030946779136/image.png

now it's like don't even try

[formal imp]

I thought they made it better this update?

[ebon pilot]

They doubled damage below 20 meters

but the spread is still garbage

[upbeat sand]

I remember using the mcs back in 128 rush and going 40+-9

[upbeat sand]

1 shorting people are cqc is more reliable rn

[formal imp]

That nice

[upbeat sand]

Only if they gave the gun its launch day spread

With that time circle crossair

Which had a miss aligned middle dot that was off centre

[arctic grove]

Anyone down to pull up to a Porsche service center with a Porsche Elefant (WW2 TANK) :D

[cloud token]

was under fire so i was hiding lol\

[solar obsidian]

i been dreaming about coh ever since that fucking beta

[limber lodge]

why do my med syringes keep cancelling?

can't tell if it's bugged or i'm doing something wrong

[stiff pollen]

It isn’t

It’s a feature

[limber lodge]

really?
https://streamable.com/dgd5bn

[royal trail]

the medpen keep getting cancled by everything it feels like so you have to keep trying to use it

really annoying

[limber lodge]

i can't even tell what cancelled it though

first time looks like it was the prone but second looks random

[royal trail]

someone throwing a nade close to you even if its not in blastarea, shooting close to you etc it feels like

[limber lodge]

wack

defeats the whole purpose of using the fuckin thing instead of just waiting for autohealing to kick in

[royal trail]

ye i wish they went a little more easy on that one

[limber lodge]

might start running the rocket launcher instead

so sick of dying to vehicle dorks

[royal trail]

go for it

[ancient peak]

In the last season

[spark leaf]

How do I get the BF3 Weapons like the M416?

[mental delta]

Complete the task

[spark leaf]

Thanks, where can I view the tasks?

Ah nevermind sorry

[mental delta]

In the "collection" page or maybe it's called "arsenal" in English

[spark leaf]

Its in the upper right corner when viewing the weapon, I just completely missed it

[mental delta]

Ha yeah you can see it on weapon page when you're making classes lol

[spark leaf]

Has the specialist rework thing happened yet or is it coming?

Just got the game yesterday

[mental delta]

It comes out in 1 or 2 weeks

[spark leaf]

Exciting

[mental delta]

Either the 24th or the 31th

Yup

Game will be really more interesting

[ancient peak]

It’ll definitely be something

[spark leaf]

Is there a best AR in the game?

[mental delta]

Not really considering there are only a few

[next onyx]

Scar. Am40, m16, m5.

[mental delta]

Which attachments do you play AM40 with ?

[ancient peak]

SFAR kinda just wins at everything except extreme close range. Unless you nail headshots then it sort of wins anyway

[next onyx]

Drums, laser, warhawk.

[mental delta]

When I play it I really suck with it

[spark leaf]

is running with knife faster?

[low timber]

No

[ancient peak]

I keep swapping from the PP-29 to the BSV-M depending on the map when I play Lis. I dunno sometimes the map just suits the former over the latter

[drifting crown]

HAs anyone had an issue with not being able to switch seats in all vehicles land, air or sea?

[low timber]

Yes actually

Was trying to swap from second seat to the third in a tank.

[drifting crown]

The EA Help desk told me they can't fix it, it is a developmental bug and to wait for the next update, hopefully they fix it then.

[spark leaf]

Best map to kill Bots in Solo for attachments?

[ancient peak]

Pick a breakthrough map

[upbeat sand]

Nah

And if it did it's such a small amount no one notices

Also I'd imagine realistically running around with your weapon out would be faster cause you have less back weight making your entire body slow down

[spark leaf]

Does the bipod only work prone?

[patent prism]

No, works in all stances provided you have something to deploy it on.

[spark leaf]

I remember on BF4 there use to be a visible animation when you deploy it. Now I have no idea if its out or not

[patent prism]

There is an animation for deploying the bipod, however this is separate from actually resting the bipod.

In 2042 you can "pre-deploy" the bipod to automatically rest on a surface once you approach one, whereas in BF4 you had to have some form surface to deploy on before the character actually did deploy the bipod.

If/when you use the deployed bipod in 2042 and approach a "compatible" surface, you'll notice the weapon drops ever so slightly to indicate resting on the bipod.

[spark leaf]

Thanks a ton!

[patent prism]

My pleasure!

[spark leaf]

Also how do you brake on a jet or does it no have a break function?

I can only go faster with the afterburner

[patent prism]

No idea, I'm an infantry purist. Vehicles are big, clunky, and loud. Infantry are small, agile, and quiet.

[stiff pollen]

Never used the stealth heli huh

[clever marlin]

It’s pretty good.

[mental delta]

Cheater

[clever marlin]

No

The HE bombs you have to be precise with

Also the wildcat and rosche exists

[mental delta]

Playing transport helis on console is really cool but stealth helis...

[arctic grove]

Flashback conquest i love it

[mental delta]

The 1942 one ?

[clever marlin]

Tbh, I’d love to have an option to switch between 64 and 128 player modes for a specific game mode. Say you right click conquest and you can change between 128 players and 64 players.

[mental delta]

Playerbase is too low for things like that

[arctic grove]

Idk when i play conquest its all flashback maps like 1942, bf3 etc

[mental delta]

Exodus conquest

[pearl ridge]

They need to put Portal modes front and centre in the rotation

I want to actually have a go at 1942 stuff dammit.

[chilly jacinth]

no

[arctic grove]

just bought bf2042 for 23 euros and i have to say

they have come a long way since beta

[quaint vector]

Yup

[arctic grove]

i refused to buy it because it was so trash but i got bored of warzone 2.0

also the air burst gun how its called,still broken like its bf4

[quaint vector]

Rao: ** Hard work pays off sometimes **

[arctic grove]

128 player rush in portal is crazy fun even though you cant push at all sometimes

just throwing nades feels like metro/locker again

is it true that we are going to get classes again?

i show it somewhere on reddit but yet again its reddit

[quaint vector]

Yes, Class system is coming this month

[arctic grove]

and how are they going to do that

[quaint vector]

Lock gadgets to each Class, how it was in previous BF Games

[ancient peak]

Specialists are being split into their respective classes. Gadgets are restricted by class. Weapons are unrestricted.

[arctic grove]

oh so repair tools go to engineers and rpgs but what about their main gadgets/abilities

still the same?

[quaint vector]

Yes

[arctic grove]

weapons still being unrestricted feels weird

[ancient peak]

Their personal gadgets remain the same. Mackay keeps his hook. Boris his turret etc

[arctic grove]

oh well atleast its something

[quaint vector]

IMO its late to add Class system but hey... Let's see how different it will be..

[pearl ridge]

This is a bad idea.

Open gadgets were legitimately the least of our problems when it came to specialists.

That's why they were open.

If you want classes, you have to eliminate the specialists outright.

Which I want.

[quiet shell]

Too be fair, it took DICE over a year to bring back standard uniforms in Battlefield V because of how bad the PID was

[mental delta]

It's so bad lol

[quick egret]

They should add bandages like 5 or 1 the med box is just terrible, and there’s only one support that heals teamates

[pearl ridge]

Some specialists are way more broken than others.

[dusk forum]

Don’t remind me of the “muh wall hacks” people at launch

[pearl ridge]

Falck is literally just a medic and brings absolutely nothing new to the table there. She heals and revives, that's it. That's her shtick.

Mackay, though, can be literally fucking anywhere.

And gets faster strafing too because why not

[dusk forum]

Almost like they have 2 different purposes…

[quick egret]

And all of his squad mates that spawn on him, that have their own spawn beacons

[dusk forum]

And classes…

[quick egret]

Or when someone airdrops a ram and the whole team and spawn on a rooftop

[pearl ridge]

Sundance can literally fly and carries frigging smart grenades. Dozer... has a shield.

[quick egret]

But wait there’s more he can survive explosives barely

[dusk forum]

Oh yeah sundance exists

[quick egret]

Angel should give meds and ammo, since they removed his armour drops

[upbeat sand]

1942 is the best part of portal

[dusk forum]

Or just let him give armor again

[upbeat sand]

except the maps

[quick egret]

Armour is toxic

[pearl ridge]

Yeah I don't like armour.

[dusk forum]

Then he just falck

[pearl ridge]

Not only is it just plain disruptive, it's selfish.

[dusk forum]

But can’t heal to 100

[pearl ridge]

Because you can't even give it to people!

[solar obsidian]

[quick egret]

Falck can’t drop ammo

[pearl ridge]

Armour is legitimately the most self-serving gadget in the game.

[dusk forum]

Ammo crate

[dusk forum]

Clearly you haven’t heard of the med pen….

[quick egret]

Everyone can use ammo crate

I’m talking about the specialist

[dusk forum]

I can’t wait for Zain with med pen and armor

[pearl ridge]

At least the med pen can, I don't know, make it so the medics can focus on other people or something...

What lunatic thought it'd be a good idea to make those things universal to assault?

[solar obsidian]

im gonna main zain with armor 🙂

[upbeat sand]

medpen shouldnt be the assault universal gadget

[dusk forum]

I already do on TDM tbh

Shits cracked

[quick egret]

It doesn’t detract from the fact that only one support can heal anyone

[solar obsidian]

healing box though

[pearl ridge]

Like if you made them a pseudo-medpack BFV style that everyone carries, I can get that.

[quick egret]

A high tech syringe gun is less effective that some shitty bandages from B

V

[pearl ridge]

I wouldn't like it, but I'd get it.

[dusk forum]

I don’t want attrition flashbacks

Fuck attrition

[pearl ridge]

But just letting the most annoying enemies have the ability to self heal at any time

[upbeat sand]

the medpen should be limited to 1

only 1

[quick egret]

Throwing bandages at people just by spotting your teammates, vs pulling out a gun and spamming shots at your teammates

[pearl ridge]

And having half those shots miss even if they're highlighted

[dusk forum]

Til they miss

[pearl ridge]

Apparently they can be picked up for healing but I've never seen that happen once.

[dusk forum]

Cleeely you haven’t seen sweaty flack mains

[pearl ridge]

I don't have a mouse, I can't just aim at my feet

[dusk forum]

I swear suppoet is sometimes blinder then Hellen Keller

They can put a fucking

Big ass revive box and they still won’t budge

[solar obsidian]

controller issue

[upbeat sand]

i feel like some S100+ probably have it set to now show up on the hud

[dusk forum]

There’s 2 support players

Don’t revive at 1 meter

Or hacksaw ridge MFers that run all across the map to get you

[quick egret]

Imjecting yourself as falck takes 10x as long as just shooting the ground

[solar obsidian]

and then we have players laying on the ground, in line of fire spamming revive,

[quick egret]

It’s pretty pointless

[spiral folio]

Those like "my entire score is revives" people are pretty rare

[dusk forum]

Smoke nades gentlemen

[solar obsidian]

yeah, you other players can fuel smokes while you are at it

[quick egret]

What do you guys think about irish aps

[dusk forum]

Makes Irish fucking S tier on some places

The wall at renewal makes him amazing

He also counters Zain

[upbeat sand]

they should make it so that falk cant selfheal from ones the she shoots out

[quick egret]

The only case where it’s annoying is when people use him and set it up next to railgun tanks in spawn

[dusk forum]

Those don’t block rockets

[spiral folio]

Whats his ability

[dusk forum]

Place down cover and APS

[solar obsidian]

yes

[quick egret]

Yeah they do I do it myself

[spiral folio]

Oh yea those

[quick egret]

I’m the annoying case

[dusk forum]

Bruh

TIL

[quick egret]

Liz, m5, even c5 though they nerfed the shit out of the range

Even if it’s placed and he places it next to it it will destroy it

[spiral folio]

Really those aps things need adjustment. Like real ones do exist but they have to see a projectile to stop them. So like if you're in a tunnel and you place it against a wall, it cant see through the wall to know how to intercept a missile

[solar obsidian]

if we are gonna put realism into this game, i want my bulletproof outfit to work

and not somehow kill me with some body shots

[quick egret]

I think the range itself should be A 9x9 of the size of the gadget with it in the middle

[spiral folio]

They're basically magic forcefields though

[quick egret]

I meant 3x3 I’m dumb ash

[solar obsidian]

meanwhile the anti explosive guy takes the same amount of damage on his armor by bullets

[spiral folio]

Cause not only so they 100% un-exist a missle, but they do it through walls and instantly

[quick egret]

If lock on missles can sometimes miss irishes aps should too, your ingrained reaction to run from a grenade will still kick in

[spiral folio]

Like when the APS on an abrams tank "stops" a RPG. It detonates the rpg....
And then the high speed fragments and jagged metal pieces splash against the side of the tank

[quick egret]

If say 3 people threw stuff at it

Maybe one would get through, or so

[solar obsidian]

remember this game should run on last gen right

[patent prism]

Agreed, it needs to have LOS to defeat incoming projectiles to actually balance the thing. I recall seeing a match on Breakthrough Chaos where the enemy team just set up the APS behind the H-barriers and consequently practically defeated every incoming explosive.

[quick egret]

And that’s where it would become a game of choosing to have 2 aps or one and a shield

[spiral folio]

An APS is basically a radar guided shotgun blast too and then it turns the missile int an incoming shotgun blast

Because of newtons law of motion

[patent prism]

Yep.

[solar obsidian]

we want gadgets to work like intended

change healing box and ammo box to be a thing you need to interact with, stop this nonsens instant spawning into your holster

[quick egret]

It’s at a weird spot where if you change it in any way it becomes a c tier gadget instead of s tier

[spiral folio]

We had a battle where somebody fit a RAM inside the server room on Exposure.

And the tunnels were chock fucking full of aps systems. Which could never work in thst situation

[solar obsidian]

while we are at it,

stop recycling ammo from dropped magazines

[spiral folio]

My rail was the only thing regularly delivering damage to it

[patent prism]

I do not want a invisible shield generator despawning explosives.

[spiral folio]

And now!
Theyve nerfed the railgun

[solar obsidian]

im the one asking for tesla tanks,

[spiral folio]

So what do ya do

[solar obsidian]

if you played any red alert game, you know why i want them

[quick egret]

Get more railguns I guess lol

[solar obsidian]

give us mirage tank

[quick egret]

It shouldn’t block c5 anymore

[solar obsidian]

transform into a fucking tree while standing still

[spiral folio]

Ye cant like that sector is so horribly designed

[quick egret]

It’s a fucking cake of plastic

[solar obsidian]

this and emp i actually agree on

give shotguns proper range

[quick egret]

If it worked on line of sight the emp would work against it as you would expect

[spiral folio]

If you packed snipers like sardines and formed loke a 2 rank firing line with 3 guys prone and 3 guys crouched you couldnt kill it still

[solar obsidian]

this game does look rather nice in 8k

[spiral folio]

That sector is awful

What were they thinking

[quick egret]

Locker gud

But oh wait

Locker didn’t have vehicles

Didn’t think that one through

[solar obsidian]

cant wait for robodogs in locker

[spiral folio]

I dont know what they used to get a RAM in there

[quick egret]

The cliff side very carefully

Or just dropped it on the ledge outside

[spiral folio]

It was in the hallway going from the server room to the big tunnel

And yea couldnt get rockets in

Told the team to just flood the place with grenades

[solar obsidian]

skills

[quick egret]

Idk you can drive a latv4 all the way through the ship on stranded so it’s plausible to get the RAM into similar tight spaces

[spiral folio]

I shoulda gone crossbow

Now that i think about it

[mental delta]

I still don't understand why it's not a gadget

[spiral folio]

Its more accurate than like bf1s grenade launcher bow

[quick egret]

What class would it go in after the update

[spiral folio]

Engineer of course

[quick egret]

Recon gets regular, support gets explosive?

[spiral folio]

Nah recon gets nothing

They will never give recons anything good

[solar obsidian]

[patent prism]

"snipers make them powerful enough"

[quick egret]

Tugs are coming can’t wait to get constantly spotted

And they are moving the spot nade over to gadget too

[spiral folio]

I will be genuinely shocked if they actually ever make a specialist whos special gadget/skill is long range

[quick egret]

So clearly one is better

[solar obsidian]

"Will Company of Heroes 3 have Mouse and Keyboard support on console?

Yes, you can use a controller for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox or a compatible mouse and keyboard. "

dice please, you are being outplayed by relic now

[patent prism]

Well, out of curiosity, what would be a long-range gadget?

[spiral folio]

Like even though "the sniper" is a trope of battlefield. The devs actively undermine sniping nonstop

Man where to start.

[patent prism]

Just give me 1-2 examples.

[quick egret]

Suav

[patent prism]

I like the idea but I'm unsure of what it would look like.

[quick egret]

Like Casper but it’s a suav

[spiral folio]

Camo that color matches the terrain, "the little thing that snipers put on a scope to prevent scope glare"

[patent prism]

Fair point.

[solar obsidian]

long range gadget,

im already packing one at all time

but ideally i just want motars

[quick egret]

Explosive shot like a k bullet, maybe it would do more damage at further ranges though, with heavy bullet drop and low velocity

[patent prism]

Oh yeah, that tape thingy they put on their optics would be neat.

[spiral folio]

Yea like they make various ones like some are little slatted covers

Its like a 10 dollar piece of plastic

[quick egret]

The world is at climate crisis they don’t have the plastic it’s all in the ocean

God don’t you read 2042 lore Jeez

[patent prism]

But it's like, most things long-range (in games) are tied into the actual weapon system rather than the operator, so finding a long range gadget is kinda difficult.

[spiral folio]

I could make one out of a soda can in about 30min

Cut some slats in a can
Spray it black

[quick egret]

Bullet velocity for snipers doesn’t feel very realistic to me in 2042

Like on bf1 I feel like I could lead every shot perfectly and the bullets hit fast

[solar obsidian]

realism in battlefield

never gonna happen

[spiral folio]

Bullet drop/speed in 2042 is actually accurate

[quick egret]

Realistic for the game as a standard if that makes sense

[patent prism]

I partially agree with you. I feel like the bullet drop is weird but not sure if that's a problem with the mechanic or the velocity.

Then again, I come from Arma 3, so I am rather biased on this matter.

[spiral folio]

Ive done some tests and the drop is consistent with the velocity

[quick egret]

The bullets are definitely smaller than pervious games

I know that you have to be much more accurate

Plus now soldiers can go 3 different speeds instead of the standard 2 with tac sprint

There’s a lot more to factor in

Then the railgun hits the scene hitscan, and no sway, the chad railgun versus the cuck dxr

[patent prism]

Does the SOFLAM currently measure range?

I know it can "lase" targets, but I don't recall seeing it having a ranging function?

[quick egret]

I believe it does

I could be wrong, but if the spotter seat on a ground vehicle has a range finder why would the gadget specifically designed to do so have it

With 42 logic and all

[lilac dust]

How's the MCS feeling?

[solar obsidian]

better

more consistent at close range

[patent prism]

I looked up a video and can't find any range indication, but I was reminded that the enemy tag includes the range to target, so having a rangefinder gadget would be kinda redundant.

[solar obsidian]

i have not tested it, but clearly they fixed the worst part about it

it was my go to shotgun

[lilac dust]

Daaaamn go to shotgun even after the horror stories I heard about it. That's dedication

[quick egret]

The dart shot was pretty terrifying for the time it was broken

Reminded me of the 870 in 4

Put a little tear in my eye

[solar obsidian]

its more about sending a message to the one i kill

[lilac dust]

https://tenor.com/view/the-dark-knight-its-about-sending-a-message-joker-heath-ledger-the-joker-gif-18201880

[pearl ridge]

Reason why I use stuff like the GVT.

[quick egret]

I recently got kicked from a locker server top of team for using 870 in a NO RULES REDNECK COUNTRY server

[pearl ridge]

"Yeah I just punked you with a janky weapon, stick that in your T1 PP and smoke it"

[spiral folio]

Railgun is 2000 m/s not hitscan

It does have sway

You can time the delay

[quick egret]

It does not have sway and hits an was an exaggeration it’s still far better than any sniper

[spiral folio]

It does cause i use it

[solar obsidian]

BUT

[quick egret]

You have sway

[solar obsidian]

shotguns in this game just feels terrible compared to mw2

[spiral folio]

Only me?

[quick egret]

I think so man I’m almost 99 percent sure it has no sway

[spiral folio]

Might go try it

[quick egret]

With the classic sniper scope

The sws one

[spiral folio]

Like put a 4x or a 6x

[pearl ridge]

Shotguns have the unenviable combination of being in a long range dominated game and just plain sucking.

[quick egret]

6 times

[lilac dust]

When you get nothing but hourglass and breakaway on infantry breakthrough ..... 🥹 🔫

[spiral folio]

Yea its almost like... shotguns arent common in war

[pearl ridge]

It's called balance.

[spiral folio]

The US is like the only nation that actively uses shotguns

And even then its like really rare

[pearl ridge]

Plus they really should be fucking your shit up at close range, but the damn things keep whiffing

[patent prism]

The British used to issue combat shotguns (Benelli M4 if memory serves) but I'm pretty sure they stopped doing that at some point. Edit: This was during the Global War on Terror.

[pearl ridge]

Might as well use the GVT. At least that way you'd be able to hit something beyond two metres.

[quick egret]

Does the gvt still one hit to the body

[pearl ridge]

Don't think so.

[spiral folio]

They also work well as launchers of other kinds of projectiles

Ie frag12, taser rounds, beanbags etc

[patent prism]

Taser rounds, those were a laugh

[solid imp]

basically identical

[spiral folio]

Emp rounds would be fun like treat em like a k bullet where you special load them

12ga taser rounds exist

Like now

[upbeat sand]

Sniper scopes need more sway for the recon proficiency to be impactful

[patent prism]

I know, I just remembered that they are basically small self-contained tasers.

What was it, Taser X12 or something.

[spiral folio]

Shotguns low pressure help with that kind of thing

[patent prism]

Yeah, afaik they were discontinued due to cost though. Some other company might have picked it back up though.

[spiral folio]

Yea why use those when you can use beanbags

[patent prism]

Exactly.

[spiral folio]

Theres a cops episode they use them to break out a window

Like on a car

[patent prism]

Yeah

[spiral folio]

Ie why they call them "less" lethal not "non" lethal

[quick egret]

Yeah I just used it again and it has sway now but when it released it didn’t operate like the other snipers and had zero weapon sway

Maybe it was a bug

[patent prism]

Yep. Practically everything is lethal with sufficient effort.

[spiral folio]

It seems like theres not much sway because the zoom levels are low

The rail

I use the 4x cause of glint bs

[patent prism]

I roll with the SWS-10, 4x, suppressor and subsonic ammo just to confuse the fuck out of people. To great effect, I might add.

[quick egret]

What’s your thoughts on the pbx45

How do you like to run it

[patent prism]

Initially I didn't like it at all but it has since grown on me.

[patent prism]

I honestly can't remember my current configuration of it but rest assured that if it has a suppressor and subsonic ammo, that's what I use.

[spiral folio]

Beretta has that new straight pull bolt action. Thatd be a neat new gun to add

[quick egret]

I use iron sights and the long barrel with hp rounds like a weirdo

[patent prism]

Mk 22 Mod 0 (Barrett MRAD) would be neat considering it was very recently adopted in the US Army.

[spiral folio]

My ideal sniper would be like Caine the longshot from Trigun

Like an absurdly good rifle and active camo

But then everyone uses it

So i dumbed it down to just like a color-matching cloak or something

Like not perfectly ground texture matching but like basic color matching

[patent prism]

Yeah, that's a problem I have encountered with thought experiments concerning BF 2042, when you find something that fits well, you have to find something negative with it as well, which is fairly difficult to do in some cases.

[spiral folio]

Before i drifted away from bf1 i was like top 0.1-0.3% on the tank hunter cause id shoot planes down

A rifle like that would be cool like one that actually damages vehicles

[patent prism]

Yeah but then what if you use it against infantry? It'd be ridiculously overpowered in that application.

[quick egret]

Then barret is in portal so maybe they would add it at some point

[spiral folio]

Its harder to justify that in 2042 cause the tank hunter was just basically a .50cal

[strong spoke]

does the game have bots? can i play offline with bots like call of duty?

[spiral folio]

Like ww1 a .50cal/13mm will fly through tank armor and barely slow down

Think the mk1 had maybe 30-50mm front armor

And not hardened

[strong spoke]

answer some1

[patent prism]

You can, yes.

[strong spoke]

thank you

[spiral folio]

And maybe give people more than 30s to respond..

[strong spoke]

im in a hurry sorry

[spiral folio]

Cause the spelling test starts soon?

[solar obsidian]

kids these days

[strong spoke]

no i must go to work

[spiral folio]

And you needed to know..

If bf2042 has bot battles desperately

[strong spoke]

ok

[solar obsidian]

[spiral folio]

Its just kinda funny

Anyway

[patent prism]

@spiral folio Do you have any other examples on possible long-range gadgets?

[quick egret]

Just won a match with a single ticket left

[spiral folio]

An AI stabilized rifle?

Which also exist today

[solar obsidian]

give us a pcmasterrace rifle,

the higher frames and resolution, the higher distance and damage

[stiff pollen]

Give me a zipbomb rifle, the moment I shoot someone their hard drive fails

[spiral folio]

They wont do something like a rifle scope that calculates drop for you

[solar obsidian]

poor last gen consoles

[strong spoke]

bahahaha

[spiral folio]

An up-sized railgun would be cool too

[quick egret]

A zip line launcher like hardline

[strong spoke]

best gun in 2042?

[quick egret]

The m5 in every scenario

[spiral folio]

And give it a precharge ability

[quick egret]

Unless it’s the sfar

[patent prism]

Yeah but I'm talking gadgets not weapons. As much as I would love to have stuff like that Winchester M948/M903 SLAP round, those are weapon dependent.

[strong spoke]

so the scar and mcx

[spiral folio]

Do it like Lis

Make it only this specialist gets that rifle

[quick egret]

Mcx?

[spiral folio]

Nah some special unique sniper

[patent prism]

Yeah, fair, one could do it like that, but then you'd inevitably run into the issue of people running opposite setups and dominating the enemy team with (e.g.) a .50 cal and a SMG.

[quick egret]

Or hear me out just special ammo

For any sniper

[patent prism]

MCX = M5A3

[spiral folio]

Cause like the one unique thing about the sniper is the rifle

[quick egret]

Is that the real life counterpart?

[patent prism]

Yes.

[quick egret]

Ah

Thought it was fictional

[patent prism]

I would go for tracerless ball-ammo tbh.

Has a positive (them not being able to trace back to you) and a negative (not being able to spot trajectory).

[patent prism]

The SIG MCX Spear was adopted by the US Army as the XM5 so in the BF 2042 universe there have been 3 alterations of it since adoption into the M5A3.

[spiral folio]

Oooh or my favorite gun
The SnipeX Alligator 14.5mm

You gotta look that thing up

It looks like a rifle from a cartoon its so big

[quick egret]

So if all recons are going to recieve no scopesway with classes what would bipods do

Just for everyone else who wants to use a sniper

[spiral folio]

Theyre not

[patent prism]

I think it's just reduced scope sway.

[spiral folio]

The datamined stuff is outdated

[quick egret]

Infinite hold breath

[spiral folio]

Its "longer hold breath" now

Not infinite

[quick egret]

Oh okay that’s better

Rao still makes for a shitty sniper character though

[spiral folio]

Even though again stabilization does exist

All recon specialists are bad snipers

[quick egret]

Well Casper is a good 1000m not contributing to your team sniper

[spiral folio]

Paieiak with her. . Close range wallhax
Rao with his close range regular hax
Casper with his close range drone

The one good thing casper has is the proximity alarm

Which is decent when sniping

[quick egret]

Is Boris the most useless specialist?

[spiral folio]

But his stupid ghili suit that doesnt adapt per region

[quick egret]

Even dozer has his uses

[spiral folio]

Casper on breakaway.. uhhhh welp

Takes a plant suit to a continent with 0.0000 plants

[quick egret]

I’ve probably died to the sentry gun like 20 times max the whole lifespan of the game

[quick egret]

That’s when you have to equip your epic battle pass skins

[spiral folio]

Yea hur hur nah

[quick egret]

I do

But ironically

There should be map presets

For outfits

[patent prism]

Agreed!

[spiral folio]

If he had camo that looked like a shipping container color or made of plastic bags he'd be unbeatable

[hearty flame]

We had adaptable camo all the way back in bf4, dunno how we can't have it today

[spiral folio]

Yea like a camo cloak if like you had a little colormatch gun

[patent prism]

I actually quite liked the BF4 system of camouflage. Several different patterns and environments, even per-map adaptive camo.

[spiral folio]

So like youre on stranded, color match a plant, more forward? Color match the dirt

Or match the red of a container

[quick egret]

Or go invisible like active camo in call of duty

[hearty flame]

Dunno why DIce hasnt used that system again. actually wait, its probably because $$$

[spiral folio]

Yea i mean like fullbore cloaking/ ghost in the shell level camo would be op sure

[quick egret]

$10million dollar invisibliity camp

[spiral folio]

I just mean like basic RGB color change to 1 color

[patent prism]

Pruning shears for cutting off branches from trees to put in your ghillie hood.

[hearty flame]

actually didnt ghost recon future soldier have adaptive camo in their MP and it was ok balance wise?

[quick egret]

Boris is so shit his passive benefits only his gadget, and nobody plays him

[hearty flame]

doesnt help that his gadget was lobotomized too

[spiral folio]

Fallout4/76 turrets
On your ass instantly. Crap accuracy but they shoot

2042 turrets -shoot it 3 times- never shoots back

[quick egret]

If they buffed it I really wouldn’t be mad

[hearty flame]

maybe theyll look at operator balancing after the class shuffle

[spiral folio]

Yea like i dont think ive even been shot by one

I just see em

[quick egret]

You get shot once and then you Destroy it, or shoot the dozer next to it because he’s far more dangerous than the turret

[solar obsidian]

launch turrets was hell

they where EVERYWHERE

[patent prism]

Honestly idk what I think about that camo cloak idea. It'd be cool but how do you balance it? Plus I sort of like having to "plan-ahead" for my environment rather than go anywhere with same effect.

[quick egret]

Launch recoil and dispersion was hell, if they buffed it back to how it was now it wouldn’t be too bad I think

[spiral folio]

Combine lis and boris. Load a missile across the map.

Lands unfolds with a turret with a smg inside

[solar obsidian]

not much plan ahead when the penalty for dying is "just respawning"

[quick egret]

Let Norris control the turret

[solar obsidian]

you can take cloak and sprint mindless

[quick egret]

Chuck Norris

Fist turret

[patent prism]

Eh, I suppose we have different attitudes to it.

[hearty flame]

it could be really protoype-y. it breaks when moving too fast, isnt too invisible, breaks when using weapons

[solar obsidian]

it works in a game like halo, because you need to actively pick it up, and fight for the gadgets in there

[hearty flame]

ghost recon future soldier had a decent adaptive camo

[solar obsidian]

it would be hell to have cloaking abilites bound to a single character after each spawn

[spiral folio]

Oh another one for a sniper
So we add a sniper with a huge rifle.

His 2nd ability is a scope that can detect movement through a wall and shoot through it

[patent prism]

nty

[spiral folio]

Not like precise

Like a sound ping thing

[hearty flame]

so just add that sniper from 2077 lol

[quick egret]

What about a glaz siege situation where the sniper scope can see through smoke that might be kinda cool

[solar obsidian]

its not invented yet in 2042

[spiral folio]

I mean the one I'm thinking exists today in ukraine

Snipex Alligator or Trex

[quick egret]

Only the specialist though

[solar obsidian]

i want suicide drones

[patent prism]

You really like that Alligator rifle, huh?

[quick egret]

Back, I want suicide drones back

[spiral folio]

Its a good one look at it

Ultra long range. Very powerful

[patent prism]

I have observed it, and concluded it must be a fucking pain to carry (albeit not relevant to a game like BF).

[solar obsidian]

yep, and mortars

[spiral folio]

The Trex is 1 shot

[solar obsidian]

actually wild bf4 feels more future than 2042

[spiral folio]

Fun fact
The alligator weighs HALF as much as the NTW

[patent prism]

Yeah, fair point.

[quick egret]

Yeah final stand has hover tanks where tf are out hover tanks

We don’t even have boats

We don’t even have water anymore

[spiral folio]

My opinion would be you could never hide that rifle

[solar obsidian]

hovercraft for the 0 water in the maps

[spiral folio]

Like even if you walk with a pistol it should show on the character

[quick egret]

Kalideoscope had water and then they made it ankle level

[patent prism]

That could be an interesting idea, have it poking out of a backpack or some such except with it equipped.

[spiral folio]

The Jawa crawler apc is also amphibious

[quick egret]

The mav is just terrible naming I always think of the flying drone

[spiral folio]

Cause yea its 6' long

[quick egret]

Crawler would be a better name

CWRL

Wow so future

Like tanks with legs from bo2

[spiral folio]

Thats why i call it the jawa crawler

[solar obsidian]

just take some inspiration from red alert 3

[spiral folio]

I mean
Look at it

[quick egret]

Do you ever see hovercraft at all anymore

[patent prism]

Saw one today actually and it was so rare that I remember it.

[quick egret]

It’s just so bad

[stiff pollen]

Hovercraft we’re only useful cause they had an OP gun and could scale buildings. They nerfed both of that so now you just for an uncontrollable missile target

[spiral folio]

https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2022/10/ROB-UKRAINE-COMP-1.jpg?w=1125
See if this works

I mean i cant post the actual image of course

[quick egret]

What was the op gun

[cinder apex]

What about the actual alligator melee in hardline

[dusk forum]

Why were hovercraft broken again

I actully forgot

Not kidding

[patent prism]

Seen, it's massive.

[quick egret]

People had no explosives when the game first launched because you had to level up

[spiral folio]

It uses a bipod in front
And a mono pod on the stock

[quick egret]

That’s why literally

[spiral folio]

So like if they made it like bipod only

[quick egret]

But the bolte was actually broken

I miss hovercraft climbing

[dusk forum]

Also is it true MacKays trait doesn’t apply with the NTW?

[hollow iris]

Drift machine* uncontrollable missile target drift machine

[patent prism]

Yeah, sounds fair enough. Sort of like the AT rifles in BFV.

[quick egret]

Drifting through a crowd of 10 people on hourglass was pretty fun though

[stiff pollen]

Still shit. Atleast rhe LATV4 got that 30mm cannon

I guess the only upside is it has a TOW launcher :/

[spiral folio]

I have zero hope of the recon specialist having aany long range support ability though

[hollow iris]

Wait it has a tow?

[quick egret]

And tows are almost as broken as bf4

They go straight through shit

[stiff pollen]

Yeah the bolte and hovercraft have a tow launcher IIRC

[patent prism]

Yeah, I doubt it as well. Hopes are high, expectations are low.

[upbeat sand]

Ahh launch day

[stiff pollen]

I don’t use transports except the LATV4

[upbeat sand]

The day of hovercrafts being able to eat 3 rpgs

[quick egret]

The days of being annihilated by the pkp

Ah memories

[hollow iris]

I am going back in time anyone want anything?

[quick egret]

Yeah my virginity back that whore never deserved it

[upbeat sand]

The days of being blown up by 3+ boltes with 30mm

[patent prism]

Kinda would prefer something like the M107 though because it feels more "down-to-earth" (which is a dumb argument considering it's 2042 in-game) but those have been carried in backpacks for quite some time: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C8FaTwFXkAA_HIV?format=jpg&name=4096x4096

[spiral folio]

Yea new recon specialist will have like the ability to use a bolt rifle pretty fast, aaand.. has a fold out scooter to ride around

Yea m107 would be ok too

[hollow iris]

It's not a real thing sorry :(

[spiral folio]

Looe the 107 is just an upgraded m82 from 1989.. but because its a quick firing powerful rifle... op!

Like.. its a rifle older than the super nintendo what

[patent prism]

Yea you gotta think as badly as possible to predict the next recon

The fold out dirt bike will be his primary special and his passive will be like "has a good eye for flowers"

[quick egret]

The days of rooftop objectives

[patent prism]

Old equipment shouldn't really be an obstacle if it's still in active service in my opinion. I mean the M1911 is still in service (albeit heavily modified), as is the M2 Browning (albeit modified), the Carl Gustav as well (albeit modified).

[spiral folio]

You'll be on a map and they randomly say "lily of the valley" ohwha...

Oh there is one

[quick egret]

Dozer should be able to use shield on zip line and while in parachute

[stiff pollen]

The recon spec has an RC drone

I’m not joking

He’s been datamined for a while

[quick egret]

It would be goofy but it would be useful

[spiral folio]

Datamined doesnt mean actual

[upbeat sand]

As in a recent seasonal one or preseason

[hollow iris]

I don't know about parachutes but definitely ziplines

[stiff pollen]

The datamines from temporyal have been pretty right

[spiral folio]

Like sometime datamined stuff is rejected old data

[hollow iris]

It would be funny to see 4 people shooting at a dozer in low earth orbit though

[upbeat sand]

Cause there was an Rc drone specialist mined from preseason launch

[patent prism]

Curious; does Dozer's shield protect against armor piercing ammo?

[spiral folio]

Ie it could be like a rejected casper

Or some other nonsense

[hollow iris]

Stupidly yes,

[stiff pollen]

Nah the RC drone has an IED on it. It’s a mix of an assault and recon specialist

[patent prism]

Well, that is idiotic.

[stiff pollen]

You can spot people and then use it to blow people up

[quick egret]

Has anyone actually got a bullet deflect kill with dozers shield

[spiral folio]

It doesnt mean thats the next specialist even

[hollow iris]

Quite

[quick egret]

I have literally one

[stiff pollen]

Also it launches a nuke

And ends the game

[spiral folio]

It could even be like a recon or engineer gadget

[stiff pollen]

The moment you employ it

Nuh uh

I’m right you’re wrong

Sorry that’s just the way it is

[spiral folio]

I wouldnt put it past the devs to have TWO RECONS with rc toys

[stiff pollen]

Look at it this way: it’s essentially just the drone from siege

[spiral folio]

But I'm gonna wait on judging them for making a stupid stupid horrible stupid mistake

[stiff pollen]

And siege has like 4 drones at this point

[patent prism]

that don't reach further than 100 meters

[quick egret]

What specificaist do you guys have teir one, mostly legit pvp

[spiral folio]

Yea

[hollow iris]

I've never deflected any rounds

[slate meadow]

i heard the next updates new map will have a waffle house in it

[quick egret]

I heard the next updates new map will be a bathroom with a a missing toilet

No vehicles all ground combat

[hollow iris]

Stolen or not installed

[spiral folio]

Product placement ingame would be both sad and funny

I remember some scare like years ago that games would start doing that more

[stiff pollen]

Wdym they already do that in 2k

[spiral folio]

BF heroes had some promo with dr pepper for outfit parts once

[stiff pollen]

Every loading screen has adidas and Nike promos

[upbeat sand]

Tempoyal leaked that the p-2000, M39 eme and unreleased Mtar 21 as vault weapons possibly

[spiral folio]

Yea i mean real games :v

2k is already a big advertisement

If you buy the latest sports games they already know their demo there

[hollow iris]

Thankfully it's just cod, I scream with horror Joy! Whenever I see the GMC HUMMER EV

[solar obsidian]

burnout paradise had gillette

[spiral folio]

Oof really

[solar obsidian]

yes

[stiff pollen]

Burnout paradise had Obama

I’m not joking

[spiral folio]

I mean the disgusting horrible hummer ev

Lord knows you want a van with a 200mi range when youre in combat

[stiff pollen]

Dude look at it this way

GMC sued CoD a decade ago for including the humvee

[hollow iris]

What goes better with cars than the democratic elect Mr. Barrack Obama of the U.S Presidency and Gillette Razors

[stiff pollen]

And now the hummer is in cod

Big turnaround

[spiral folio]

That could be part of the settlement

"How dare you include the actual vehicle the military uses" omfg

Ok how bout we put one of your shitty death traps in a future game

[hollow iris]

I can run over an 8 year old in cod because of a lawsuit

[stiff pollen]

Actually the hummer EV is the most survivable vehicle in the game

Not even joking

[spiral folio]

Of course it is

[stiff pollen]

GMC’s contract stated it had to be more bullet resistant than the MRAP

[solar obsidian]

ea had need for speed movie ads in bf4

[hollow iris]

You can refill it with gasoline

[stiff pollen]

Yea

[spiral folio]

Cause a bullet to a battery neeever causes problems

[stiff pollen]

The MRAP with the 50 cal on it takes less bullets than the EV

[dusk forum]

I’m not suprided

[hollow iris]

Bullets and electricity go great together look at that one power grid

[dusk forum]

Ikr

[chilly jacinth]

battery fires are gonna be great on the battlefield

[dusk forum]

2042

[spiral folio]

Activision "ok we added the hummer"
GM "not good enough! It has to be the toughest vehicle in the game!!"

[dusk forum]

I bet a hummer could take on a damn tank

[spiral folio]

Humvees are quite awful vehicles

Like the real ones

[hollow iris]

Horrible, they look clean though

[spiral folio]

Not the h2/h3 which are a chevy taho wjth a van on top

[wet apex]

I really hate how most of my friends don't play bf even though they have ea play just cause "it was bad on launch"

like have you even seen how good it is now

[dusk forum]

The LATV4 is still a cool design

[hollow iris]

Horrible

[spiral folio]

The actual original hummer/humvee are flimsy awful vehicles

[wet apex]

lies

[solar obsidian]

its still just an average battlefield game

[spiral folio]

Like most have literally plastic doors and the body is aluminum and not good aluminum

[hollow iris]

A bunch of which didn't have air conditioning

[wet apex]

I feel like the hero system was what we needed in a battlefield game

[upbeat sand]

Doughing through the snow with my hummer

Which I don't even need because im a single guy

[spiral folio]

Yea theyre awful to maintain and the gear hubs in the wheels are speed limited

[wet apex]

similar to bf5s subclasses

[hollow iris]

It creeps me out, I keep killing people and seeing their clone around the corner

[spiral folio]

Oh yea in their element a humvee eats terrain
