[stoic ferry]

wish for next patch after 3.2. fix the squad thing.

there MUST be a way to kick ppl from a squad

[radiant prism]

I'd be willing to bet classes won't be the only change 3.2 makes

Big updates like these usually has stealth changes :)

[knotty charm]

there is

[stoic ferry]

no.

[frail sparrow]

is the stealth update a spitfire for all out warfare? 😄

[spiral folio]

Like adding big reg fuel tanks to the hind? The kind where if you shoot em it kills em

[stoic ferry]

i can change squad. i cant get rid of idiots

[knotty charm]

problem solved right

[tacit sorrel]

Repair weekly challenge is so annoying

[stoic ferry]

also lock tanks etc. should be a thing.

[tacit sorrel]

It takes forever

[stoic ferry]

tank stealers is so fing cancer it hurts my brain.

[radiant prism]

Lock tanks should not be a thing

[spiral folio]

Dont get out

[knotty charm]

@tacit sorrel try to get in a chopper on con and repair from seat

[stoic ferry]

wrong.

[spiral folio]

If you start with a tank you die in the tank

[tacit sorrel]

That’s what I do it still takes forever

[arctic grove]

Hello I have a question.

[spiral folio]

I used to steal tanks a lot

[knotty charm]

i know i grinded my way to it the same way

[radiant prism]

Letting gunners jump in your tank is a good thing lol

If you don't want your tank stolen don't get out of the driver's seat

[arctic grove]

Can I play BF 2042 on this PC?
Ryzen 7 1800x OC
32 GB RAM DDR4
GTX 1080 TI !AMP

[stoic ferry]

yes. but you go out to rep or place a APS box. then some idiot jumps in and drives of

[spiral folio]

I saw this one video where a guy ran out of bounds jumped in a tank and it blew up cause he was OB

[tacit sorrel]

I’ll steal tanks if the tanker is trash

[spiral folio]

Enemy lost their tank and died in the explosion

[knotty charm]

@arctic groveo dont think it wil run ?? could be wrong

[chilly dove]

It'll run at low

[stoic ferry]

in bf4 you chould get rid of bad gunners too. by fire

[tacit sorrel]

It’s funny when ppl steal tanks and insta die

[stoic ferry]

here its not possible

[spiral folio]

During free trial week i stole a condor like that

[arctic grove]

I don't know if the game is playable on that Specs.

[spiral folio]

Didnt even have repair

[arctic grove]

since the game is shit optimised.

[knotty charm]

@arctic grovehttps://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/game-overview/pc-system-requirements

[stoic ferry]

if I could. I'd perma ban tank stealers

[chilly dove]

it'll run at low but the problems everyone else has will be multiplied on that machine

[arctic grove]

Those are fake specs

We need atleast I9 11th gen

[radiant prism]

[arctic grove]

For recommended.

[knotty charm]

from ea site mate how can they be fake 😅

[arctic grove]

Because It's fake.

[radiant prism]

I have a Ryzen 9 5000, 3070 laptop and I'm fine

[knotty charm]

ryzen 5 5600 3060 runs good for me

[calm bison]

What annoys me is the way they hold the STEN in portal

[spiral folio]

I'm within operating ability

[calm bison]

You don’t hold it by the magazine

That’s how you get jams

BFV got this right

[radiant prism]

ryzen 9 5900 radeon, RTX3070 with 8gb ram

[arctic grove]

Yes because you have R9 5900

ofc you can play.

[knotty charm]

why r7 wont ??

[arctic grove]

1800x I dont think so

1st gen

[knotty charm]

so ??

[spiral folio]

Ive got an old i7, and a 1060 6g

[arctic grove]

How many fps you got?

[spiral folio]

Cant remember i run ok on low though

[arctic grove]

What kind of I7 do you have.

Because Intel CPU's 100x better than Ryzen

[spiral folio]

Wanna say like 4xxx

[knotty charm]

wouldnt bet on that

[spiral folio]

I got it like 3-4 years ago

[low cypress]

Ahhhhh

[frail sparrow]

intel is overpriced

[arctic grove]

@hexed mango You down to play 2042 tonight?

I hope it runs on low with 70 fps max.

low 2042 looks funky

reminds me of battlebit

[knotty charm]

well if u see the workloads on intel and amd (meaning gaming ) intel is overpriced forr other workloads intel CAN have a upperhand

[spiral folio]

The models arent full potato on low but theyre not the best

Its kinda bf1-y

[elfin void]

DLSS on performance makes the game hella blurry

I just turned it off

[spiral folio]

You get slight potatoing on load

[frail sparrow]

dlss on performance is prolly more meant for like 4k screens where that issue becomes less. on 1080p or something it's better to just keep it at balanced or quality

but im just talking out of my arse here 😄

[spiral folio]

You might get the same framerate with Intel but the frames smell better

[arctic grove]

🤓🤓

[upbeat sand]

I spent all my money in boins

[arctic grove]

Same

[upbeat sand]

I spent all my boins on money

[tacit sorrel]

Literally every match my team chokes

[spiral folio]

What map/mode

[stoic ferry]

is it intentional that you cant kill someone laying down?

I drove over the same dude 5 times. he was very alive

roadkill only counts of they are standing up

[arctic grove]

i dont understand why support got smgs and engineers go lmgs. engineers are meant to be quick, in&out damage and defend against vehicles. whats a slow ass lmg gonna go against a tank? oh look the passengers hopped out to swarm the engineer, better give the engineer the slowest weapon possible to counter... balance. also irish is an engineer, his entire kit is anti vehicle munitions and cover

[upbeat sand]

No

[arctic grove]

I spent it on tire valves

[quiet shell]

DICE, let me stick C4 onto a sundance and have her fly into a group of players

[tacit sorrel]

It doesn’t matter

[arctic grove]

question with the new changes coming out with classes coming back can i still use a P90 with Mackay or no?

[willow sky]

yeah

you still can

[quiet shell]

Yes, they aren't restricting weapons

[arctic grove]

ok few

[quiet shell]

only gadgets

[arctic grove]

ah

ok was confused tyvm

[tacit sorrel]

Weapons will perform as they do now just trait bonuses

[arctic grove]

ya i saw Assault class get 3 extra mags, but is that only applied for ARs?

[quiet shell]

AR's only

[spiral folio]

Bonuses if you use the right ones or penalties if you dont. Just depends where you put the baseline

[arctic grove]

makes sense

also why does the drum mag only give 10 extra ammo lol

[spiral folio]

EA doesnt know how guns work

[arctic grove]

nah its a ballance thing i get it its just silly is all

Drums also slow you down the most, better to just run extended

^^

agreed

[spiral folio]

Look at the ammo capacity on the p125 its a joke

20 rounds is standard pistol mag capacity for 5.7

Foe the p125 its 14 XD

[arctic grove]

ya i hear ya lol

[quiet shell]

only that it's called eleventh hour and the specialist with the remote controlled car isn't happening

[errant scarab]

"classes"

[spiral folio]

It's goofy to bullpup a pistol to begun with. Let alone bullpup it and make the mag 30% smaller

[quiet shell]

Alex loves bullpups

[spiral folio]

Theres a new smith and Wesson 5.7 out now thet holds 22

[arctic grove]

I think if were bringing back classes we should just ditch the specialists entirely. The completely designed their skills around a new definition of gameplay, thats why nothing fits. Paik should be assault, she'd be awesome at that. A sniper with a limited range scanner? hows that gonna help lol

[quiet shell]

if he had his way 2042 would've only had Bullpups

[arctic grove]

idk why but im just hoping they put in the AR XM8 i love the look of the weapon, but for now the P90 will do

theres not enough bullpups in my opinion

[spiral folio]

I dont hate bullpups but isnt a pistol already a bullpup

When you think about it

[quiet shell]

It's not like Paik is restricted to a sniper. Just use a SMG with her

[spiral folio]

The mag is already

[arctic grove]

ammo capacity will make her difficult to play

anyone here a ERAM user that wishes 40mm had faster reload? xD

[errant scarab]

restrict gadgets.... "classes"

[quiet shell]

the ammo capacity isn't changing. It'll be the same as before

The only exception being the Assault and that's only for AR's

[arctic grove]

takes 3 shots to kill a guy on foot i think it needs faster reload to compinsate in my opninion

but you cant carry ammo or get extra mags. relying on the already overworked support now add they also need to provide ammo is gonna be toughhh

[spiral folio]

Recon gets screwed badly yea

Always

Bad enough recons specialists are awful

[arctic grove]

oh ya shit i wont be able to use spawn beacons with Mackay anymore huh

oh well

add that support will be on the front lines, recon will be left having to off themselves with redeploy at their spawn beacon everytime they run out of ammo lmao

[spiral folio]

The only recon that pretends to be a sniper is casper with his damn suit

And a short range drone

[arctic grove]

and paiks scanner which is even more short range

[upbeat sand]

Remind me of that battlefield hardline friends episode about how the engie or i fogot the name gets the spawn beacon instead

[spiral folio]

If you're sniping even close at 100m caspers drone is worthless

[arctic grove]

paik is a frontline fighter

[spiral folio]

And his bushy suit is a give away on like half the maps

[elder mirage]

Ah yes, a ghillie suit to help you blend into the top of an Amazon warehouse better

Casper is the easiest of the recons to spot because of his goofy getup

[spiral folio]

Or the antarctic map with 0.00 plants

[arctic grove]

they just need more cosmetics is all

[spiral folio]

He'd be better off in a tuxedo

At least somebody might go "oh wow a penguin!"

"Why does it... oh shit!"

[elder mirage]

His suit makes him more effective when people wipe the floor with him lol

[arctic grove]

i rock Mackay mostly only cuz i can get roof campers easier

[spiral folio]

I proposed two better ghili suits
One made of trashbags and another like red strips that color match containers

[arctic grove]

....

huh

i just want more head gear options

[spiral folio]

Maybe one thats like road pavement color

[arctic grove]

itd be great if the existing cosmetics came in different colours. find a look you like but youre on the snow map? option to change it to white.

That would be cool

i think a tatical gray for all specialists would be awesome

[spiral folio]

Yea like nifty idea if you're on a continent with a plant on it

[arctic grove]

Skins right now are super specific and there’s not as much dynamic or really even any universal options

itd be nice if they had some looks too that actually looked like operators

[arctic grove]

exactly

Like I really wish the Sundance event helmet was universal

the fucking fire embers suit is weird

[arctic grove]

Agreed

[arctic grove]

this

[spiral folio]

Yea its a lot to ask to be like "make 3 colors of every skin so it matches terrain" but at the same time...
They DID make an antarctic map

Not me

[arctic grove]

all of Rao's looks are like he came out of a shitty 80's gi joe show

is it not so hard to ask, i want to look like the NPCs

Rao actually has decent customization options. There’s a few I like

hes the cover character, and his outfit from the cover isnt available

Casper too

[arctic grove]

This is my gripe too

They added the helmet but not the combat uniform

[spiral folio]

I use the desert tan lis outfit cause

1. No hexagons
2. Almost matches most places

[arctic grove]

my getup atm

https://i.gyazo.com/ab1a913d25e1133e7ff635a76f7a821a.png

[arctic grove]

They should just add some multicam stuff

[arctic grove]

the npc's actually look like future soldiers and they look fucking awesome

[spiral folio]

Never again

[arctic grove]

AIs look amazing agreed

[spiral folio]

I made one pair of my old digicam pants from the army into shorts

[arctic grove]

that helmet is god awful lol

[spiral folio]

I mean til i uhh outgrew them

[arctic grove]

the recon US NPCs look freaken awesome

I really wish we could use their skins man. Would really help to feel like I’m really in 2042s worlds as a no name who isn’t meant to be unique and stand out

Just a cog in the machine

specialists were stupid to begin with. this isnt fork knife or apex titanfall

It was for monetization unfortunately

[spiral folio]

Its funny like people always dickiny with the next camo for the army when the top beat camos are... green... gray... tan...

[arctic grove]

i also wish there was a system in place where you could put your clan patch on your character ingame like arma 3 did

A blend of that and people speculated that the game was originally only hazard zone

Which would explain their existence

theres not even clans lol

[arctic grove]

Older BFs let you put your own emblem on your gun and character too

4 and 1 I remember it most from

[spiral folio]

The final map added will be a physical portal to ww2

[arctic grove]

they could have reskinned 4 and it would have been a way better game

Feedback to EA: please allow us to look like NPCs with there BDUs and gear in future updates.

[arctic grove]

I always said I feel like 2042 would be perceived largely different with the specialists exclusion

[spiral folio]

One half of the map is peyongyang the 2nd half of the map is berlin 1945

[arctic grove]

The game would’ve still got shit for its maps and content but man at least it wouldn’t be topped off by a controversial choice for monetization

[spiral folio]

Or paris 1942

[arctic grove]

And that’s putting it lightly

[spiral folio]

Itsmd be a cool map

[arctic grove]

Reminds me of BO3

[spiral folio]

Have like ww2 vehicles on the map

[arctic grove]

also these specialists look like shit, regardless. character design is weird. look at mw2, their operators look fucking awesome by comparison

imagine a oil rig map and boats where re introduced?

[spiral folio]

Boats dont do good on ice

[arctic grove]

Dude, 1000% agree

MW2 operators look dope as shit it’s almost hard to believe their models are the launch ones

Like they look like something you’d have to pay for

[eager spire]

shame that MW2 sucks ass

[spiral folio]

Specialists look fine but like.. i hate them being restricted to classes

[arctic grove]

legendary gary has entered the chat

[eager spire]

and they also charge like $20 for character models that were used in the campaign

[arctic grove]

its because their skills dont fit

i like MW2s soldiers look good, BUT i hate cod games ive always been a bf fanboy

Gromsko, Krueger, Rangers, KORTAC, Chuy >>>>>

[radiant prism]

MW2 went too far down the tacticool route

Tacticool looks good, but TOO tacticool looks ridiculous

That’s my impression of MW2

[arctic grove]

MW2 is gonna be making some ‘changes’ in February based on ‘player feedback’

[tacit sorrel]

These xp boosts rly help with the battle pass tiers

[spiral folio]

Yeaa i kinda noticed early into cod's change that they went for the halo audience more

[eager spire]

Infinity Ward: oh yeah we can totally make a tactical shooter how hard can it be

[arctic grove]

They’re reintroducing ranked, which is questionable because SBMM exists (and it’s too fucking strong rn)

my only hate for COD is the multiplayer i love there story modes

[radiant prism]

I miss launch MW19….somehow

[spiral folio]

Once CoD went modern they leaned into thst direction

[arctic grove]

Launch MW19 fairly was

tacticool

[radiant prism]

Tacticool but like actually good

[spiral folio]

Cod infinity war

[radiant prism]

MW2 went too far

[eager spire]

MW19 was the closest modern CoD got to being good

[spiral folio]

Combat evolved

[radiant prism]

It’s like Cold War levels of tacticool

[arctic grove]

I mean CoD inspects, reloads and general anims have definitely been done in MW2 and MW19 by people who did their homework

I’m still impressed by the glowup

[eager spire]

it had specialist, it had a skill gap with fast movement

[arctic grove]

also, were now going to have to have class gear, indiviual universal gear, specialist ability, grenades, and underbarrel/fire select all sharing the dpad

thats 5 things on a 4 direction d pad

[eager spire]

It had it's issues but it was the closest that it got.

[arctic grove]

2042 is good it just needs some "taticool" buffs and the rest there planning is fine too

[eager spire]

MW2 looked at MW19 and removed everything that people liked about it

[arctic grove]

I mean I understand excluding slide cancelling tho

It wasn’t even intentional

[tacit sorrel]

Hopefully Lis gets a buff in the class update

[eager spire]

I can't, because it was a fine addition to the movement

[arctic grove]

Other movement changes are kinda like ehhh what’s going on here

Removing bhops which I did extensively during the beta

[radiant prism]

But WALLCLIMBING

[arctic grove]

[eager spire]

it doesn't matter if it wasn't intentional. It wasn't blatantly broken, it wasn't impossible to counter

[radiant prism]

[arctic grove]

i dident read the insight of 3.2 is anything going to happen with Mackay?

[eager spire]

no

[radiant prism]

We don’t know for certain yet

[arctic grove]

I like parkouring with it in ground war

ok i was fearing a nerf

[radiant prism]

It was kinda just an overview, not actual patchnotes

[arctic grove]

slower strafe speed

[radiant prism]

We don’t know specifically what changes are coming yet do we?

[eager spire]

no

[arctic grove]

i heard his strafe was being lowered

They’re gonna increase general ADS speed and decrease mackay ADS from what I heard

[arctic grove]

only thing they have "offically" state is end of the month

[spiral folio]

They should just lean in HARDER ON mackay and give him ADS while sprinting

[eager spire]

Someone needs to @ Alex on Twitter about the new BF1942 Portal stuff being fucked

[arctic grove]

Im reallt confused about how the 4way d pad is going to be affected by 5 key bindings

[eager spire]

because i guess he won't know about that either

[arctic grove]

But yeah MW2s been experiencing a bit of a playercount drop off so they’re talking about making some changes based on ‘player feedback’ starting with S2,

What it means we shall see tho…

decrease the fookin footstep audio

[tacit sorrel]

Mw2 hasn’t added anything new just recycled content

[arctic grove]

lol that be cool but i disagree i like him how it is, maybe faster ADS walking but meh on sprinting

Dude I just want the OG MW2 maps ngl

[spiral folio]

Listening to player feedback is how you get bad ideas

[arctic grove]

Gimmie highrise

[eager spire]

Pay up $70 more dollars

[spiral folio]

Players dont eant whats best for the game they want whats best for them

[arctic grove]

nopls

[tacit sorrel]

They don’t listen to feedback

[eager spire]

i don't feel like that's true

[arctic grove]

I mean there are definitely players who give feedback based on what would benefit THEM, but it’s not a personal suggestion to decrease the footstep audio

the bad thing about Activion is there greedy charging $70 for HALF a game

Or decrease/remove SBMM in pubs

[spiral folio]

If you want balance.
Look at the data the gsme provides cause people will lie

[eager spire]

Nobody likes the new perk system. It's stupid.

[arctic grove]

Perk system too

New perk system is pretty cursed

[spiral folio]

Im sure some idiots like it. Always a few

[eager spire]

Not having Specialist in the game is cringe.

[arctic grove]

enough mw2 i was just saying their characters look better lol

[tacit sorrel]

They basically told the player base f you

[eager spire]

As well as second chance, who the fuck wanted Second Chance back in the game?

[arctic grove]

Yeah to avoid getting too off topic back to this,

Totally agree, they look fucking amazing, and you aren’t forced to play them either. There’s milsim options which also look amazing

[spiral folio]

I kinda feel like... they dont like how some specialists are being used with sone devices.. namely mackay with spawners

Or snipers getting anything they want

Or like dozers with rpgs

Etc

[arctic grove]

I run Ranger IV and Kortac 3 half of the time I’m playing and they just >>>>>

i hope 3.2 launch goes well cuz i can barlly play the game half the time 2042 textures dont load and my game closes

[eager spire]

i mean i feel like people just don't like Mackay because haha funny man go fast

[spiral folio]

So burn the house down. Build it again

[arctic grove]

The only problem I have with mackay is he’s the only one that really feels good to play as imo

Like, the ads speed on everyone else is just horrendous

Zain is the exception where he’s actually also passively good

[eager spire]

yeah historically ADS strafe speed in BF games has been slow as shit

[spiral folio]

Well like mackays whole grapple thing really lets people hide spawners and that does make a difference.

You could say "well what if i spawn on him." And that's still an option and harder to pull off

[arctic grove]

Then again V introduced a specialization to increase ADS speed for everyone who used it

does anyone else have issues with textures not loading for 5mins+ or the game closing if they refuse to load?

[spiral folio]

Cause now not only does a mackay have to reach that point. But wait there til a recon spawns on him too

So its not as potent

Cuts the chance of it happening massively really

Cause whos gonna play a recon after this

[tacit sorrel]

Why not

[arctic grove]

ah i know my issue

im on a HDD playing 2042 ya nope not liking it

textures take up to 5mins to load and i some times get a game close

THAT and im still on Origin

[eager spire]

Implying being on the EA App would improve this situation

[arctic grove]

no

but

Origin was "phased out"

yet my game originally and still runs it on Origin

[eager spire]

well they stopped doing forced migration because it turns out the EA App still sucks shit

and people had to complain at EA for a while to get them to fix an issue that prevented people from renewing BF1 servers on it

[lavish patrol]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13GUzSN8tm0

[spiral folio]

Yea i drag my feet when shit transfers to steam

Cause sometime it doesn't :v

[lavish patrol]

Looks like assaults are getting more ammo

[arctic grove]

still also having the issues of the infinite load screen or black screen issues always takes 2 start ups on Steam to start and PLAY my game

+3 reserve mag yea

[spiral folio]

Is it 3 mags per type
Or 1 mag per 3 types

[lavish patrol]

That's gonna help so much

[arctic grove]

but its only with ARs

[lavish patrol]

I use ARs any way

M5A3 for life

[arctic grove]

im 24/7 P90 with Mackay so eh

[spiral folio]

Penalty

[arctic grove]

im getting 1200 kills with the P90 if it kills me

[spiral folio]

-slap-

[arctic grove]

im at almost 300

[spiral folio]

Accuracy -1000%

Aims carefully
-closes eyes and holds trigger-

[arctic grove]

xD

[hexed mango]

maybe. dunno if i’ll have time

[hexed mango]

[lavish patrol]

Looks like Liz is gonna be a huge anti armor meta once the update drops

[tacit sorrel]

Why?

[arctic grove]

ya my poor ERAM

[lavish patrol]

And Irish is gonna be strong

[thick pecan]

Hello

[spiral folio]

Because she'll be the only rocket user with ammo

[lavish patrol]

her missiles recharge

[tacit sorrel]

If anything Lis looks weaker

[edgy oriole]

You down to play 2042 tonight?

[arctic grove]

At least hopefully APS will be on tanks by then

[thick pecan]

Do you guys have battlefield

[arctic grove]

You down to play 2042 tonight?

oh no

LOL

poor Zain

[lavish patrol]

What about Zain?

[tacit sorrel]

C5 makes Lis tolerable without she will be junk

[arctic grove]

also dafuq Zains airburst launcher needs a buff takes a whole clip to kill a bot 3 shots min

[lavish patrol]

Takes 3 shots to kill a person in general

[spiral folio]

I'll have to find something for my ammo box slot so

[lavish patrol]

And the airburst is fine

[twin ledge]

Is missile launcher good for ram?

[arctic grove]

its a granade laucher if 1 hand throwing granade can 1 shot then Zains launcher should 1-2 shot

[spiral folio]

The missile turret?

[lavish patrol]

So you want it to be BF4 levels of overpowered?

[tacit sorrel]

You can run away from grenades

[arctic grove]

im just speaking form a realism stand point

[lavish patrol]

The airburst does not fire a huge grenade

[twin ledge]

People used airburst in bf4?

[spiral folio]

I tried the mjssile turret and it works ok like very high immediate damage and long reload

[lavish patrol]

Go play ARMA

[arctic grove]

armas trash

[spiral folio]

Realism only counts if it doesnt benefit recons/snipers

[lavish patrol]

If you're looking for realism, you're playing the wrong game

[tacit sorrel]

Airburst is fine it’s fast

[arctic grove]

no, im playing a game i enjoy, your just jugging me over my opinion

[hexed mango]

you two bozos better watch your backs

[spiral folio]

Also "go play another game" is a dumb argument

[arctic grove]

EXACTLY

[spiral folio]

Damage is typically low on BF games

Youre talkin a game where a 20mm rifle can hit sonebody

Or even a 50cal

[arctic grove]

i suck with Zains launcher even vs bots so i dont play him but i want too

[twin ledge]

Well it's also kinda dumb to expect realism in a arcade shooter

[spiral folio]

Its more realistic than like fortnite or bf heroes

[lavish patrol]

It's an anti cover weapon, so aim at the cover, then aim either above it or to the side

[spiral folio]

But like it's not a full sim either

Using "its a game so shut up" is a poor argument. Because all games are games

[lavish patrol]

If you're on PC, press V to range it

[spiral folio]

Airburst is meant to like finish a kill

[solar obsidian]

[lavish patrol]

Or suppress, or just kill an entire squad bunching up in that one corner in cap

[spiral folio]

Ie a guy hides with 30%
Airburst

Irl yea an airburst quarter pound of c4 with shrapnel over your head will ruin your day thoroughly.

So will being shot by a 6.8mm round at nearly the speed of sound

[twin ledge]

Imo it highly depends on which game it's about and what the original arugment is about, in this case I'd say it applies since again it's a arcade shooter. Not supposed to be realistic

[spiral folio]

Like if a tank shoots 2 meters away from you. Youre not gonna go looknfor a medic

Yedone

Battlefield "owie ow let ne find cover and regenerate l"

[twin ledge]

airburst is also pretty decent for defending objectives, like spearhead breakthrough 1st point

[lavish patrol]

You can't swap shells on the fly when in a tank

[spiral folio]

Cant you

Go on

I wouldnt lnow any better

[lavish patrol]

I meant when actually in the field, not when selecting it when you plan to spawn

[twin ledge]

Would be cool if you could

[lavish patrol]

That would make tanks a little OP

[quaint vector]

No

[solar obsidian]

get destroyed by c4, medic can still revive you,

get pushed slightly too hard by a vehicles,

person unsalvable

[frigid violet]

man classes are whack

[spiral folio]

Would it blow your mind if i said tanks can hold many kinds of shells

[lavish patrol]

Don't forget getting run over

[arctic grove]

i dont load in in fast enough to even get a vic feelsbadman

[solar obsidian]

it was the whole point of it, but i found the getting slightly knocked over more funny

[spiral folio]

In ww2 the Japanese tanks had such thin armor AP rounds went straight through so they switched to HE

[twin ledge]

[arctic grove]

and once again Comcast is unstable ....... guess im not playing tonight

[hybrid totem]

Ooh are we complaining about bf not being a milsim again?

[lavish patrol]

Or tanks can actually fire an atgm out of its barrel

[hybrid totem]

Because gosh it's annoying that planes move so slow

[spiral folio]

Abrams tanks in Bagdad would carry like sabots for tanks, HE for fortifications, and cannister shots for special uses

[solar obsidian]

visual presentation in this game is like a washed out fortnite games,

shots barely have an effect on the player models,

[spiral folio]

Its too bad there's no cannister shots

[lavish patrol]

Or the Flankers and Felons can't do that crazy maneuver shit

[spiral folio]

The abrams can fire guided munitions cause smooth bore

[tacit sorrel]

Bf3/4 was peak jet gameplay

[hybrid totem]

And that we can only outfit them with anti air or anti ground. Let me choose x number of missiles and have that determine my speed and maneuverability

[twin ledge]

The thing I hate most about bf2042 jet is the progression

Only vehicles destroyed counts

[lavish patrol]

The Wildcat's 57mm gun is actually the 40mm in real life

[arctic grove]

What’s missing from BF3/4s jet gameplay is cannons being anti everything and infantry rockets

[spiral folio]

Unlock vehicle kills via conquest solo

Ye

[hybrid totem]

Let me choose x different types of shells but cap out and have to go back to Spawn for a resupply

[twin ledge]

I mean, you would use the attack jet for infantry killing

[spiral folio]

Wot does but its more realistic than BF wants to go for tanks

[arctic grove]

In 3 the F18 could do some serious funny

[spiral folio]

Bf1 had HE and Cannister

[arctic grove]

But yeah attack planes are fine

[hybrid totem]

And stop with loadout kits,I mean gosh all that gear in a 3'x3' case? So unrealistic

[arctic grove]

noh

I will continue to carry my equipment in my 3x3

[spiral folio]

It's not ALL of it. Only what you take is in there

[twin ledge]

Haven't played much bf3 so I wouldn't know

[spiral folio]

If you didnt take it. Not there

[hybrid totem]

Also what's with letting people revive? Injury is more valuable than killing in war

[spiral folio]

And you cant prove its not there

[hybrid totem]

What is this, a quantum locker?

[spiral folio]

Or is

Yea

[hybrid totem]

From the guy who complains about realism

[spiral folio]

Something

Well think about it

[arctic grove]

https://youtu.be/DH91N6_0EN0

If you’re sus of the link, if you care to, just search on YouTube bf3 F18 gameplay

[solar obsidian]

regeneration shots for vehicles in general

[spiral folio]

If you didnt take a rocket launcher how would you prive a rocket is in there

[hybrid totem]

Oh it's a fascinating thought exercise, but hardly realistic

[eager spire]

arguing about realism in Battlefield is irrelevant because Battlefield has always been a large scale arcade shooter.

that's just what it is.

[hybrid totem]

I make tons of load outs so I can lay mines, then swap to stinger or rpg

[spiral folio]

In a real scenario you would call in supplies for what you needed

[hybrid totem]

With an anti tank rifle in there

[arctic grove]

Don’t mines despawn if you die tho

[spiral folio]

Id bet in a 3x3x3' block you could fit all of that

[hybrid totem]

Oh and all my friends do too

Different sidearms, gear, gadgets, main guns

Well at least you flip flopped

[tacit sorrel]

If it was any bigger it would be better than Irish’s shield

[spiral folio]

You coukd probably fit everything except what you didnt need

And never asked for

[hybrid totem]

That's not the point, every time I change a loadout, it's a different set of everything

[pliant knot]

OHHHH SHIT RETURN TO CLASSES?

[spiral folio]

Well the shield guys shield packs up small

[hybrid totem]

Oh yeah, let's just have a portable ballistic shield where, even if it could block all the bullets it does, it is also completely without recoil

[dapper river]

Engineer will be the only class to have 3 specialists, all others will have 4
Yes, this includes the unrevealed Recon specialist

[spiral folio]

Dont be jealous the new recon will suck

[arctic grove]

Engineer class is super underwhelming and the worst one is boris

[spiral folio]

Imagine being the VA for a character to find out they gave your character crappy skills

[arctic grove]

Rip Random Russian Guy

Angel VA likes his meme specialist

[mental delta]

Boris is shit

[radiant prism]

I love playing as Boris but I hate playing as Boris

[mental delta]

I don't play as Boris

I play Angel

Always

[arctic grove]

I know he is my main

[radiant prism]

I just recently got him to T1

[mental delta]

How could you main that ?

[wild marlin]

god made him so op he has to nerf himself in game

[radiant prism]

I remember at launch when Boris had to be nerfed

[wild marlin]

too bad he's piss useless now and should be a recon xd

[lavish patrol]

Kind of reminds me of the old Star Wars novels where the only way to kill off Grand Admiral Thrawn was a deus ex machina.

[mental delta]

Lol why ?

[spiral folio]

Because his ability is only useful close range

[wild marlin]

he literally makes more sense as a recon, cuz like he's passive is the sentry close to him so just place it on urself and it watches ur back

and it literally spots the people it looks at

[spiral folio]

All the recons abilities are stupidly close range

[wild marlin]

not exactly for Rao and Casper

Rao's hack has like 200m range

Casper's drone can spot up to 450m away

[spiral folio]

Caspers short range drone?
Or his proximity detevtion

Raos short range hacking?

Paiks short range wallhacks

[wild marlin]

i don't think 200 meters or 450m counts as CQB

[spiral folio]

450m for what cause his drone wont do that

[wild marlin]

and Paik can spot people across the map if she lands 1 bullet xf

[spiral folio]

Lis rocket will

That passive is borderline worthless

[wild marlin]

he's drone can be up to 350 meters away from his body

and the drone spots to 100 meters out

[spiral folio]

His drone loses signalthe second it launches

[tacit sorrel]

Engineer and recon specialists could use buffs in some capacity

[wild marlin]

I guess ur drone is bugged lol

[spiral folio]

Naaah EA hates recons

[wild marlin]

get a better drone

[spiral folio]

Always has

[wild marlin]

maybe like, making recons useful at a distance, and engineers actually useful vs vehicles 🤣

[spiral folio]

Lol making anyone effective vs vehicles

Devs make railgun a good antivehicle weapon
Oooooooo nope
-nerfs-

[wild marlin]

like the rorsche literally does chip damage but the stationary railgun tank players can't cope w that

[spiral folio]

Yea they suuurre listen to vehicle users

[arctic grove]

I T1 him before the nerf and i mostly use it as a spotter

[arctic grove]

He was still garbage but soy gamers couldnt cope with their skill issues

and DICE listened sadly

[hybrid totem]

... Soy gamers? Like, as a meat substitute?

[arctic grove]

like bitchy snowflakes who complain about boris

[radiant prism]

Tbh the one thing that needed nerfing was the 3D spotting

[tacit sorrel]

I think ground vehicles are pretty ez to counter atm

[hybrid totem]

What does that have to do with soy?

[radiant prism]

But yeah

[radiant prism]

Internet buzzword, don’t worry about it

[arctic grove]

Bolte got nerfed 3 times and its useless now. I rather use recon or hover

[wild marlin]

well soy has emasculating properties

which is why it's associated with feeble men

[arctic grove]

Its a figure of speech

[wild marlin]

hence the term

soyboy

[radiant prism]

Which is a misconception

But the name has stuck

[hybrid totem]

Soy has emasculating properties...?

[wild marlin]

bruh wdym soy literally represses testosterone production

[radiant prism]

hbomberguy did a great video on the whole “soy boy” thing

[radiant prism]

There have been numerous studies showing the opposite

Or rather that it doesn’t do that

[arctic grove]

Off topic fellas. My point people cried over boris turret when it wasnt even that good and it got nerfed to the ground.

[hybrid totem]

Why do you have to insult anyone? Can't you just say "people who don't like Boris"?

[wild marlin]

you cannot use that strawman on the internet

if you can find a study confirming something you can find out disproving it

[radiant prism]

Ok except there have been. I’m telling you, watch hbomberguy’s video

https://youtu.be/C8dfiDeJeDU

[dapper river]

yeah sure, whatever Big Soy shill

[radiant prism]

Damn got me there

[wild marlin]

Lmao

also that video is silent

can't hear it for sum reason

[solar obsidian]

@hexed mango https://youtu.be/Nd-hR0B7APE

[dapper river]

https://tenor.com/view/reddit-soyjak-soy-soylent-gif-25052959

[radiant prism]

Turn your volume up then maybe? Lol

[upbeat sand]

Soy does have a type of hormone I think

It's just not a human one

So it dosent effect us

[wild marlin]

are you entirely sure about that

[upbeat sand]

Maybe a little effect

But I mean everything you eat can effect your body

[wild marlin]

like I think that if the soy joke has gotten to prominent and used everywhere maybe there's some backing to such claims

[tacit sorrel]

Using the term soy is pretty cringe imo

[upbeat sand]

The only soy that's good is

Bing soy tf2

[radiant prism]

The whole thing comes from phytoestrogens which are in soy….which isn’t like the hormone estrogen

[upbeat sand]

Why are we talking about reddit, soy and hormones in #battlefield-2042

[radiant prism]

Because someone said soy boy and someone else didn’t know what soy boy was lol

[upbeat sand]

Imagine a soy jack but he's pointing at you

Wait that exits nvm

[wild marlin]

let's talk about how Boris sucks and should be a totally different character

[upbeat sand]

He needs a new trait

[wild marlin]

or like an entirely new kit

[radiant prism]

He needs at the least a turret rework

[upbeat sand]

The turret should be as efficient at all times and not need him to walk up to it

[radiant prism]

I’d love to see it go an anti vehicle route

[mental delta]

[wild marlin]

or maybe just no turret 🤔

[mental delta]

Like what ?

[wild marlin]

literally something else 😂

just not a turret that breaks in 1 mag dump lol

[upbeat sand]

Maybe they could do a thing where the turret is buffed significantly but is more larger and noticable and the turret has a connection range similar to casper and his drone

So when Boris goes out of range it disables

[mental delta]

A vehicle turret

Or special mines

That make more damage

[wild marlin]

or maybe like something he can add to vehicles

[mental delta]

Like ?

[wild marlin]

idk bruh lemme 🤔🤔🤔

a ranger 😂 expect its on his back

and it shoots at vehicles

and it shoots recoilless m5

from its gun

[mental delta]

Lmao

[wild marlin]

but it's an lcmg

[mental delta]

You gotta be on crack

M5 recoiless Ranger ?

[wild marlin]

it's better than what he has rn 😂😂

and the passive is

if it's not on his back

it sits down and goes to sleep

[mental delta]

It's too much now

[wild marlin]

ok so what's ur idea

[mental delta]

Maybe a special repair tool which can repair at distance

[upbeat sand]

EOD bot

[mental delta]

Like it functions like an extinguisher but it's repair vehicle slime instead

[mental delta]

No like a pistol version

[wild marlin]

yoooo I have an idea,

[upbeat sand]

Oh similar to the falk

[wild marlin]

literally just give him the tracer dart gun

like tracer dart is his gadget

and he can shoot things with it

and rockets will lock onto them

[mental delta]

But it's a gadget now, like they will put it in AOW and all engineers will be able to pick it up

[wild marlin]

recons have the soflam so it's chill

[mental delta]

Yes

[wild marlin]

huh no it's gonna be a recon open gadget

[mental delta]

Ha my bad

[wild marlin]

but no my idea literally rocks

[tacit sorrel]

Engineer having it wouldn’t make sense

[wild marlin]

why not

it's literally an ANTI VEHICLE gadget

[tacit sorrel]

If it was baseline sure

But they have repair tool baseline

[wild marlin]

huh

so

[mental delta]

Guys you're all thinking wrong you're trying to find a solution to a problem while we can just delete the problem, just suppress Boris

[wild marlin]

it's supposed to be the specialist gadget

[wild marlin]

preach 🙏🙏🙏

[upbeat sand]

I don't think it would repair that much

But what if it repaired a little but also buffed the vehicle with increased track speed or rpm

[wild marlin]

no old dudes that aren't Irish 😂😂

[tacit sorrel]

Why would you replace rockets with a tracer dart gun is my point

[upbeat sand]

Maybe faster turret movement

[mental delta]

I mean it would prevent them to spend some time on it

[wild marlin]

Bro what rocket am I replacing

Boris doesn't have a rocket

[tacit sorrel]

He will

[wild marlin]

yeah because it's his class not because he comes with it

I keep saying

[mental delta]

They should just give a new RPG

[wild marlin]

tracer dart as SPECIALIST gadget

[upbeat sand]

I'm firing all of you

[wild marlin]

so he's still having his class and open gadget

[tacit sorrel]

Seems pointless just add the gadget

[wild marlin]

or just remove Boris

get rid of him 🤣

replace with a hot blonde chick

[mental delta]

Yeah !

Delete that mf !

[tacit sorrel]

Yea that would be great so only 2 engineers 🤦🏻‍♂️

[wild marlin]

are you saying women can't be engineers?

[mental delta]

No they just make a new specialist engineer for season 5

And he gets a turret

[wild marlin]

are you saying caucasian women can't be engineers?

[mental delta]

Like the one Boris had

[tacit sorrel]

You realize removing Boris makes it so the recoilless and AA rockets are only usable by Crawford right?

[wild marlin]

that's literally how it's gonna be anyways LMFAO

no one who wants to be useful runs Boris and Lis can't use launchers in open slot 😂😂🤣😂

[tacit sorrel]

I see more Boris players than Crawfords

[mental delta]

Yeah and what's the problem with that ?

[mental delta]

I hate Lis so much

[wild marlin]

🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢

bros playing with the LATAM feeders

[tacit sorrel]

Ppl don’t use Crawford 🤷🏻‍♂️

[mental delta]

Boris is weak anyway lol I mean the whole specialist looks like shit

[tacit sorrel]

I haven’t seen his turret in like a month

[wild marlin]

bro looks like he went to Bulgaria for a week

[mental delta]

Yeah and it definitely cost him a lot physically

[wild marlin]

Bro looks like he has black lung and osteoporosis

[mental delta]

Yeah and all his outfits are bad

[wild marlin]

bro worked on those siberian oil fields

[mental delta]

Even the metal Russian helmet is messed up

[wild marlin]

but ong

hot blonde chick

boom fixed

[mental delta]

😳

[wild marlin]

like lis could've been the 2042 waifu but her hair is 🍊🤢🤢🤢

[willow sky]

ayo i use boris

pls dont shit on the sentry gun i swear its not that bad

[last swift]

[tacit sorrel]

Better than Crawford

[hexed mango]

local doesn’t like boris :)

nah craw is better cause you can actually control it

[tacit sorrel]

You’re just asking to get domed or blown up using it

[last swift]

Ranger > SG-36 Sentry gun.. give Boris the ranger

[willow sky]

thats why i prefer a sentry gun

[tacit sorrel]

I probably haven’t even died 5 times to Crawfords turret

[willow sky]

crawford is just
"and then i started blasting"

[eager spire]

The sentry gun is great for when you can't take people on directly so you need a distraction! :D

[tacit sorrel]

Then gets blown up 5 seconds later

[willow sky]

look it aint my fault people throw the sentry gun in the middle of a fire fight

it just lands
and DIES

[tacit sorrel]

I’ve been running Boris recently to make more use of the repair tool for the weekly

[upbeat sand]

This game sure does have extremely impressive facial animation

When you look closely on someone like falk you can see the details

[willow sky]

even more impressive inside a vehicle

[upbeat sand]

You can even see a small Sutter like thing right before falk talks with the "let's get started"

I also noticed that angel's eyes twitch a little and he sniffs sometimes in the menu

[arctic grove]

So I bought BF 2042 on Steam

and I got average 80-100 FPS on low 1080p.

Sometime it drops to 70 but I dont know why.

But the game is playable for me.

with the R7 1800X

[timid inlet]

mother

ya

fart

reporting for d0000ty

[upbeat sand]

Most likely too much action on screen or nearby

[arctic grove]

Because of the explosions

[upbeat sand]

Demoman

[arctic grove]

But I think I can stabilize the FPS with some settings.

[tacit sorrel]

Crazy how trash they made jets

[wild marlin]

^

doesn't stop that cope more guy from killing everyone with it

go search him up, you'll kick yourself

[tacit sorrel]

25mm might as well shoot nerf darts

[timid inlet]

how tf do you fly any of them? I pressed every button known to man and they just float like clouds. Useless pieces of shit

[tacit sorrel]

Stealth heli is just better

[wild marlin]

objectively incorrect opinion 💀💀💀

[tacit sorrel]

Helis have always been better for racking up the most kills

They have more impact

[arctic grove]

how tho

[wild marlin]

yeah but saying the jet isnt as good as the stealth heli is just dumb

[arctic grove]

how are you floating

[wild marlin]

Bro comparing an apple to an orange

[arctic grove]

2042 flight controls are so simple I don’t get it

[wild marlin]

DAYBREAK

[tacit sorrel]

I bet they have more kills on average making them better

[arctic grove]

Concept art Boris >>>>

Dude looked like a fuckin tank

[spiral folio]

if your goal is...

like does a jet make as much difference in winning

[tacit sorrel]

Less imo

[spiral folio]

yea like i've never felt threatened by a jet or really seen em ace some vehicle

[tacit sorrel]

Helis can mop up infantry

[spiral folio]

well yea, they have 300mm of steel armor

oh wait that's tanks, helos just take as much to kill for no reason

[hexed mango]

i mean besides the transport they aren't that hard to take down

[spiral folio]

yea that's the only one I see since I don't really do conquest

[hexed mango]

same lol

but i think its still bearable. i just wish transports werent the strongest gun wise and armor wise

they shouldnt have forward guns... but whatever

if they are transports, they should be armor strong, but only have the side guns

[wild marlin]

still cringing at the recons class gadget of choice😬

[hexed mango]

i think its great

[spiral folio]

take it I don't want it

[hexed mango]

spawn beacon super useful. needs more usage by teammates

[spiral folio]

i'll probably play lis til i get sick of asking for ammo

[wild marlin]

ok but why does it have to be limited to fucking recon

[hexed mango]

for your tgm you dont need ammo

[spiral folio]

because EA wants recons to suffer

[wild marlin]

it's omega useful for sure, on literally everyone else

[spiral folio]

and having people spawn near a recon makes them suffer

[wild marlin]

RECONS are literally pseudo spawn beacons

[hexed mango]

this is nothing new tho

[spiral folio]

the only use for a spawn beacon now is basically "now i can get back to my sniping spot easier"

I'd rather have anything else

[hexed mango]

recon has always had spawn beacon since its proper introduction

[wild marlin]

bruh why can't dice thing about these things for more than 2 seconds

right hand to god, they make decisions using a spin wheel made by pre schoolers

[hexed mango]

only if you're casper. rao and paik push more
and tbh casper can push cause the drone can be used to seek out enemies

[spiral folio]

you don't "have to" but you "should"

[hexed mango]

not really

paik

[spiral folio]

rao's only benefit to a sniper is getting helicopters off him

[hexed mango]

so dont snipe with him :)

[wild marlin]

and the fact he spots those shoot him

[spiral folio]

recon

don't snipe

this is the problem with classes

[hexed mango]

casper snipe

[wild marlin]

all the recons are useful in sniping

literally all of them

Rao can see idiots who shoot him, Paik can spot with her gun, Casper is Casper

[hexed mango]

well as i discussed with local yesterday, recon doesnt mean sniping, even tho its proficiency is sniper, recon doesnt have to be sniper, its just a choice that is possible as recon, and as every other class

[wild marlin]

well dice sure thinks about it that way

[hexed mango]

recon means sniping more than sniping

i think that's better

[spiral folio]

i should start saying I like close combat more, cause then they'll nerf close combat

[hexed mango]

cause i want to play rao and not snipe

[wild marlin]

like this guy really does his reconnaissance upclose 💀💀💀💀💀💀

bro is tasked to scout out an enemy base and dude walks up to it

[hexed mango]

why wouldnt you, paik is super useful

[wild marlin]

I guess cuz theyll shoot you

bottom line, recon has crazy design conflicts

it's fucking stupid

[hexed mango]

all specialists do

[wild marlin]

and they should be useful from range

[hexed mango]

they can all be useful from range with the proficiency
so can other classes...

again, as i told you yesterday, the focus is on providing the vast different outlets for playstyles

you can play recon not only for sitting far and sniping, but also to gain intel as you push up, or help your team target vehicles/gadgets
its not limited to one, and shouldnt be

[wild marlin]

deja vu

[hexed mango]

same with other classes

for assault, all of them are good at pushing, but there are individual differences to their styles
mackay, getting height advantages, sundance with her mutlipurpose grenades and wingsuit, dozer with shield (which tbh he isnt super super useful), and zain being able to hit those behind cover

while they're all attacking in the sense that they are good at winning individual battles, they all have different pros and cons

engineer, also for repairing, but also for the individual specialists, lis, boris, crawford, lis being the more engineer anti-tank of the three, but boris and crawford both being able to hold points well due to their higher firepower (even tho their damage outputs are not ideal).

and then support, while all helping the team, each being able to offer something new, angel with a focus on ammo, falck with the focus on health, and irish with the ability to shield allies and defend against grenade spam

again its simply just that there is an underlying purpose to each class, but each specialist within the class has the ability to offer something different to the class, and hence opens it up to new playstyles.

[spiral folio]

I don't get engineer with the LMG that makes no sense, they already have a huge weapon to deal with ala the rocket launchers

[hexed mango]

yeah support and engineer should swap imo

support has traditionally been the lmg peeps, and engineers traditionally have been pdw/smg

@ripe hedge was there a reason for this 👉 👈 why is engineer lmg instead of suppport :(

[arctic grove]

[hexed mango]

i expect a reply in 2-3 years

[spiral folio]

ahhh man i did at least save a video shooting a heavy bomber down with a field gun XD

[hexed mango]

:)

[spiral folio]

he flew right over, no bombs, tuuuuuuuuurn
boom .... aand hit

[radiant prism]

Probably since support fills the medic role. Made sense to give the people most likely to be up close the SMGs I guess

[hexed mango]

modern B52 por favor

[hexed mango]

i guess....

[radiant prism]

My AA weapon of choice in BF1 was the AT grenade

[hexed mango]

and then i guess since there was nothing left, eng got lmg

also does anyone else think that 3 extra mags is too much?

[radiant prism]

Given how I use my ARs, it’ll last me an extra two minutes

[spiral folio]

oh good i saved one of me yelling for ammo because I got a 100m obrez kill

[radiant prism]

Znath out here taking a trip back in time through his saved clips lol

[wild marlin]

my 2 biggest beefs with new update is insertion beacon as recon class gadget and the weapon proficiencies

[radiant prism]

I know the feeling

[spiral folio]

i can't find the one where I hit the fueltank but i found the screenshot that definitely came from a video because the screenshot shows the bullet right at hitting the fueltank

unless I took it in-battle

[radiant prism]

DM it to me and I can post it for you if you want

[wild marlin]

like in a perfect world, recons are always running soflam

[hexed mango]

i think spawn beacon is fine, seeing as a major issue a lot of players still have with the game is the bad spawns. having more emphasis on spawn beacons helps to solve that problem.

and i mean yeah proficiencies may need a little tweak but i think its alright

[crude surge]

Can we talk about the maiden less behavior that is Falck players standing over teammates that need a revive but never get it because the Falck is blind as a bat

[spiral folio]

man I wish I saved more plane kills from that game

I have TWO videos from some brat griefing me for like 20 minutes

[wild marlin]

I do not concur sir, I have a crazy amount of contempt for recons who don't laser designate

[hexed mango]

you can still run soflam...

you only really need 1 guy running soflam

having every single recon have soflam is useless

[wild marlin]

but it's in the slot you'd want the prox sensor

[hexed mango]

soflam > prox

[wild marlin]

we wouldn't even have the issue if prox sensor was the class gadget

I wouldn't mind my recon loadout being, soflam, próx sensor, and grenade

Infact that's getting taken away from me now

you can do it now but won't be able to

[hexed mango]

whereas every recon having spawn beacon is better cause its per-squad spawns. so having 10/64 recons (assuming each in different classes) means those 10 squads have additional spawn beacons

if it was 10/64 recons with soflam, well it doesnt do any better than having 1-2 with soflam. cause if a vehicle is painted, you cant double paint it for something else special

[wild marlin]

like laser designation is such a huge help to engineers

[arctic grove]

Hopefully the Javilin isnt as crappy as the m5 recoiless

[wild marlin]

and keeps all the vehicles on edge

[hexed mango]

yeah but you dont need that as the universal class gadget

[hexed mango]

it isnt

also, Javelin

[wild marlin]

but can you agree that it makes way more sense than the insertion beacon

[spiral folio]

I have a bf5 video of a guy with a hack that showed everyone's location on the map

[hexed mango]

no. i dont.

[wild marlin]

insertion should be an open gadget

[arctic grove]

Thanks echo and do u know how much damage it can do???

[hexed mango]

but soflam shouldnt be the class gadget

[wild marlin]

you should be able to pick it, not constantly have it

[hexed mango]

erm idr

[hexed mango]

i say that for soflam, again because it isnt constructive to have every single recon have soflam

its much more constructive to have every single recon have spawn beacon

because individual beacons have more differentiating effects

[wild marlin]

like the beacon doesn't help the recon do it's job

[hexed mango]

everyone with soflam leads to the same output as 1 person with soflam
everyone with spawn beacon allows much more varied spawn locations than just 1 guy

beacon is to help the squad.

[wild marlin]

and let's be real, recons are gonna use it to get back to their building camp spots

[hexed mango]

yeah but its better cause then you can parachute off a building instead of walking 100m+

[spiral folio]

I recorded this kid with a map hack on bf5 and people go "you can't send EA videos"
replied "this is for my own entertainment"

:v ahh past self, you know me so well

at one point the cheater says "I'm in A watch their AA blow up" theres no AA on the whole map

[wild marlin]

tracer dart gun as class gadget?

[hexed mango]

eh tracer dart is very situational

[wild marlin]

like you will not get me to agree to insertion beacon as class gadget

everyone should be able to have it

as an open gadget

I hate how it's limited

[hexed mango]

im not really gonna compromise seeing i have no actual say. and i think spawn beacon is the more superior choice given the rest of their gadget selection and what i feel is best for the game based on my experience

[wild marlin]

that's my biggest beef

[spiral folio]

i think we can compromise on this, you believe only recon shouldn't have it, and I believe I don't want it.

So delete it entirely, that way the recon doesn't only have it

[wild marlin]

but the fact that's it's locked to a specific class it's cringe, especially when other classes can get way better use out of it

[hexed mango]

hate how spawn beacon is limited or soflam

cause again, soflam does not constructively add more value the more there are

[wild marlin]

spawn beacon.

[hexed mango]

it isnt limited, cause every recon has it

[wild marlin]

spawn beacon is exclusive to recons next update

but everyone benefits

[hexed mango]

yeah... how its always been in bf3/4

[wild marlin]

like only Paik makes real good use

[spiral folio]

the only benefit I can really see is now mackays can't use it

which is good I guess

but then on the other side of the scale, everything else

[hexed mango]

hell nah

[wild marlin]

yeah assault with spawn is cringe

[hexed mango]

with the way the spawns work in this game, spawn beacon is a must have.

[marble thistle]

👀

[hexed mango]

oh its finally back

not being able to get back on an objective in time, spawn beacons help with that.

[arctic grove]

discord ded

[spiral folio]

Oh hey doscords back

Man sad i only had really 5 videos from bf1 i mostly just forgot to do it

[kindred flint]

lmaoo...launchers only being an option on boris and crawford is the best troll dice has done all year

[spiral folio]

April fooools

[hexed mango]

:)

shouldve had a new new engineer instead of fucking recon

[kindred flint]

100% dice didnt think this through

[spiral folio]

Guy gets fired when he misinteprets first month with the first of April

[kindred flint]

Canonically dice doesnt own a calendar so that actually makes sense

[spiral folio]

Just because there's sun at both the southpole and northpole

[silver arch]

Is 2042 worth it nowadays for $20, big fan of BF1 and enjoyed BF5, but only have a sum of like 20 hours in both games due to lack of time to play. I enjoyed 2042 during a free weekend and played about 4 hours, but it's different when it's free vs paid

[kindred flint]

if you can spare $20 there are worse ways of spending it i guess

[silver arch]

I mean I'm a teen, I earn money through survey apps so it doesn't have too much value to me and I have no financial responsibilities

[remote kiln]

its free via EA play

[hexed mango]

if you're a teen that earns money through survey apps i dont think you're a teen

[spiral folio]

i did those surveys in college but if anyone from a survey company is concerned i'm a 40 year old diabetic with 2 kids and a wife with arthritis :v

those stupid surveys are how i got like 70% of my stuff in heroes and play4free

[hexed mango]

2 best bf games

[spiral folio]

I had this rare legacy rifle in play4free cause they removed its scope when they changed the weapons so it could switch between zooms

later they added customizations and you had to pick one or the other but mine kept the "legacy scope"

my sniper had a helicopter helmet that said "boom" on the top

[silver arch]

Don't have ea play or gamepass

[silver arch]

wdym

[remote kiln]

then get it lol, the first month is free

[spiral folio]

you probably need a card to start the free month though

[hexed mango]

you can get a card as a teen

and judging by their status, they are a senior

[silver arch]

The ea play trial is 7 days

[spiral folio]

if his only "income" is like... scamming surveys

[hexed mango]

ig could be a junior idk im in IB so AP classes arent my field

[silver arch]

And I've already used the $1 gamepass promo for your first month

Empty survey gift cards work when a payment method is required

Ig I could do the 7 day trial

[shell ermine]

1942 Rendezvous just makes me want to play more BFV

[dusk forum]

...then play BFV

[sharp marten]

Facts

[upbeat sand]

Current player numbers have been dropping in steam

Currently 4K

[hexed mango]

as expected

[sharp marten]

That happens when there’s no content for awhile they’ll go back up

[hexed mango]

aussie specialist = kangaroo

[sharp marten]

Tactiroo

[hexed mango]

fr

[upbeat sand]

Towala

[sharp marten]

Agreed

[arctic grove]

I knew the “dead game” shit was BS when MW2 came out and people are currently calling it a dead game

Even with Steam numbers factored in which is what people typically back up on

Like I absolutely hate pulling out steam charts for almost any reason, but MW2 has had a 106k 24-hr peak

Where do these people get this shit from

A game could have players but still be considered dead. What a weird phenomenon

[next onyx]

Shouldn't be.

Yeah it's weird Levi.

[upbeat sand]

for some reason people count games under 9k as dead

[arctic grove]

Like of course you’re gonna see the same players and have a 1 minute+ queue when you turn crossplay off and play FFA, a mode that I wouldn’t say is super popular anyways

[royal swan]

Keep getting incompetent players over and over again

It's super annoying

[sharp marten]

Yeah I wouldn’t go solely off what people say because a really good game can come out and people with say it’s dead like elden ring people said ITS TOOOO HARD elden ring isn’t that hard

[arctic grove]

If it isn’t within 30k players from what it had at launch = ded

[upbeat sand]

also

how do people still say TF2 is a dead game

its in the top 10 most played

even with the bots

[arctic grove]

It seems like “dead game” is the new quip

[royal swan]

Oh now I'm currently mad at two types of people

[arctic grove]

Like even in general

[royal swan]

Getting placed with those who can't play videogames yet still do, and those who think very alive games are dead

[lilac dust]

Issue?

Regardless of language it states that update 3.2 comes out tomorrow / later today if you're in the UK

[kindred flint]

we won 2 world wars to not have to read that stuff smh

[lilac dust]

Either somebody fucked up or we're getting breakaway rework tomorrow

[arctic grove]

Normally they’d give a day or so advance

At least here in NA

[lilac dust]

True

[arctic grove]

I wouldn’t mind the suprise though but I don’t think they’d do it

[lilac dust]

You don't need a translator to even figure out what it's saying btw lol

[sharp marten]

I respect you so much

[lilac dust]

Just read the 2nd paragraph

sentence*

Update 3.2 erscheint am 20. Januar " I wonder what that could mean in english?

[sharp marten]

Listen buddy I can’t understand people who’s country haven’t been on the moon

[kindred flint]
