battlefield-2042

[solar obsidian]

i gotten more teamwork in voice by the enemy in dmz, compared to my own team in this game

[tacit sorrel]

Cod?

[solar obsidian]

yes

[tacit sorrel]

You can actually add enemy groups into your party but never done it

Dmz just seems pointless I lost interest

It’s very shallow with no economy

[next onyx]

Eh.

[tacit sorrel]

Dead game 😔

[royal swan]

Game dead

[tacit sorrel]

I actually enjoyed it

[royal swan]

Ok, but game dead

[tacit sorrel]

The eu lobby playing the same map 24/7 is still probably up

[royal swan]

But who's playing it

[tacit sorrel]

Whoever is in that lobby

[hybrid totem]

I really wanted battlebit to be good, but the tanks are bugged and the devs ignore bug reports on it

[royal swan]

Why don't you go check

[tacit sorrel]

I uninstalled but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s still there

[hybrid totem]

And they removed the roadmap. Never a good sign

[royal swan]

Damn you uninstalled a game you enjoyed

Sounds like the game is

Dead

[tacit sorrel]

I can only play the same map so many times

I enjoyed it when it was active

[royal swan]

*alive

[tacit sorrel]

Also the ping isn’t the best me US east and the 1-2 servers being EU

[solar obsidian]

nothing like morning arguments

[royal swan]

Mr future over here, why didn't you warn us about (over used American tragedy)

[hexed mango]

yeah eh first mission was mid

[tacit sorrel]

I never finished hardline campaign

[hexed mango]

tomato tomato

[hexed mango]

understandable

[tacit sorrel]

Probably the only bf campaign I didn’t complete

[royal swan]

Potato potato

[hexed mango]

ive yet to play bf3 campaign

[solar obsidian]

save yourself the pain and dont

[hexed mango]

ok

[solar obsidian]

you remember the meme game demo about modern military shooter ?

thats bf3

[hexed mango]

wish more peeps played hz so i could actually finish the fucking acheivements

[hexed mango]

ye

i see

[tacit sorrel]

They didn’t learn from firestorm

[hexed mango]

heheheh

[solar obsidian]

60 euro entry price

[tacit sorrel]

Hz was doomed to fail

[hexed mango]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHKnTqrGOwQ
i love firestorm

operation firestorm that is

not

[solar obsidian]

i loved the interaction of everything in bf5

[hexed mango]

like bfv firestorm

[solar obsidian]

game ran like as for me

[royal swan]

I need achievement

[solar obsidian]

but damn firestorm should have been free

[hexed mango]

idk for some reason bfv just never hit me

idk what it was...

[vague horizon]

When does the 3.2 update drop again

[tacit sorrel]

The inventory was garbage other than that it was alright

[hexed mango]

when i went back to it a few months ago i was still feeling like it just wasnt quite right

[hexed mango]

sometime in the next 12 days

[tacit sorrel]

The fire ring was cool

[hexed mango]

all we can say is that it'll for sure drop before Jan 31st

[tacit sorrel]

Wasn’t free and wz was just a better br killed it

[vague horizon]

Ah bet thanks

[hexed mango]

Firestorm was flawed

[tacit sorrel]

Bfv was flawed in general

For awhile

[copper fulcrum]

Still is, really

[tacit sorrel]

I get annoyed by that game would rather play bf1

[solar obsidian]

play bf1 then

[tacit sorrel]

I do

[copper fulcrum]

and 1 has problems too

I actually went back to try a round of Operations and the game broke first spawn in

[tacit sorrel]

Now and then the game can bug out

[solar obsidian]

bf1 share design choices like mario kart,

i actually never though a shooter like this would get comeback mechanics

[copper fulcrum]

Spawned in, says we're advancing, shows the flags on the map, hud's now gone, so is the sound. I die by someone I couldn't see because a giant flag was blocking most of my vision.

Could not respawn again and had to leave

[hexed mango]

no game is perfect

i liked bf1 a lot, but there are def some things i would rather have changed.

[tacit sorrel]

Bf1 atmosphere still remains the best

[eager spire]

BF games not making it so icons disappear while ADS by default, so you have to do that yourself

[hexed mango]

indeed.

[copper fulcrum]

Well the flags were glitched, as in there were giant flags on the map

[eager spire]

oh well small indie devs

[copper fulcrum]

You know when the attacking team fails an advance in Operations and it shows who controls the sectors?

[eager spire]

no

i don't play operations

[copper fulcrum]

Okay so like this

[tacit sorrel]

Conquest player for life

[copper fulcrum]

Now imagine spawned while that is showing

[hexed mango]

like you're on the map?

[white geyser]

BF1 good times

[copper fulcrum]

Your camera is still your soldier like regular but those flags are still there

[eager spire]

how

[hexed mango]

lol

[eager spire]

how does that happen

[tacit sorrel]

Bug

[solar obsidian]

i wonder how high resolution i can run it at 60fps

[copper fulcrum]

Can't respawn with that bug either

What's cool is that it shows that the lines and flags are actually on the map, not an overlay

[next onyx]

M1D go yes.

[tacit sorrel]

Did you restart the game?

[copper fulcrum]

Way can you like

no

[eager spire]

it's not really a surprise that things are broken in BF1

[copper fulcrum]

I uninstalled the game again lol

[eager spire]

Did you ever notice that the sights on the M1D are just off center

[copper fulcrum]

Honestly I prefer BF4 over BF1, and I prefer 2042 over all

[white geyser]

The behemoths they added in BF1 were fun to use, the zeppelin I like dropping bombs on the enemies, the dreadnought firing cannons better watch out where will it hit you

[copper fulcrum]

Which scope?

[next onyx]

Not really.

[copper fulcrum]

There's two scopes btw

[eager spire]

well all of the added scopes and weapons have blatantly off center sights

so both of them

[next onyx]

LOL.

[copper fulcrum]

Maybe you're off-center

[eager spire]

...no

[solar obsidian]

the compensator

[tacit sorrel]

Only gripe with ww2 portal is ammo

[copper fulcrum]

Casually one-handing the Panzerschreck

[solar obsidian]

its a t-1000

[copper fulcrum]

At least the shield is off so it weighs less

I imagine a good portion of the weight of the Panzerschreck comes from the blast shield

[eager spire]

crosshair is center of screen.

What the fuck is that

[copper fulcrum]

I haven't had that problem really

[tacit sorrel]

New vault weapon confirmed

[eager spire]

you haven't had it or you haven't noticed it

[copper fulcrum]

I use the Nydar sights too and I get dead on shots with the dot

[solar obsidian]

dice moment

[tacit sorrel]

It looks just like the bfv sight

[eager spire]

yes

it's almost like it's based on the same kind of sight or something

[tacit sorrel]

Is that the tommy gun?

[eager spire]

yes

[tacit sorrel]

I thought you could only use irons

[eager spire]

they added the sights in the newest update along with the new weapons

[tacit sorrel]

Ah ic

That’s nice because those irons sucked

So much recoil

[placid echo]

I did play some Portal earlier, found a BF3 1-shot conquest mode, it was fun for a bit but not many people were on because it was about 1AM in US

Did have a rather nice moment from it tho
https://streamable.com/9ve2kr

[eager spire]

typical portal, making one-shot modes and that's about it

because that's the limit of creativity for most of the BF community

just make the game so easy you can shut your brain off and still get kills

[tacit sorrel]

I played a bf1 lobby that had infinite grenades it was pretty wild

[placid echo]

I can't wait for the upcoming featured modes tho

[eager spire]

yup, they were clearly not aware of what was going on

but then again neither was your teammate

[solar obsidian]

instagib unreal tournament deck 17

[eager spire]

honestly, considering the railgun is in the game, It would be interesting if it was possible to give that thing a more visible tracer, make it perfectly accurate in hipfire, and basically just turn the game into an arena FPS. but i feel like that's a bit much for the Portal Rules Editor

and nobody would play that because people would take more than one shot to kill

[solar obsidian]

the issue is movement is just not good enough in this game to work as an arena shooter

[eager spire]

yeah you can't really strafe jump, you can only bhop like once

[solar obsidian]

yeah

[eager spire]

honestly it would be funny if the next BF game is just a large arena shooter

with 64 people in it

no vehicles, your only mobility is sprinting or bunnyhopping

[tacit sorrel]

Medal of honor

Those games were pretty fun tbh

[eager spire]

i don't know what relation Medal of Honor has to what i said

[arctic grove]

#battlefield-legacy-titles

[pine roost]

Id dig that

[eager spire]

yeah. it'd be an interesting take on the Battlefield formula.

[tacit sorrel]

No vehicles

[eager spire]

It would certainly be unique

[eager spire]

yeah okay but can you bunnyhop in medal of honor

[tacit sorrel]

I think so

Been awhile

It was basically their spin on cod pretty much

[solar obsidian]

medal of honor came first kek

[eager spire]

also i think MoH 2010 and Warfighter are getting shut offline next month

which sucks because Warfighter seemed like a cool game but now nobody will get to play it

[solar obsidian]

quake engine and bhop ❤️

[tacit sorrel]

I’m talking the last 2 moh old ones are old as dirt

[pine roost]

Bf4 movement is probably as close as we’ve gotten to an arena style bf

[solar obsidian]

last 2 was under average and tried to do 99% of the same stuff cod and battlefield had going on at the time

they where dead on arrival

[tacit sorrel]

I had fun

[solar obsidian]

sure

not arguing about the fun factor

[eager spire]

I donno, Warfighter was pretty ahead of it's time in some aspects, mainly the weapon customization

the 2 man squad idea was pretty interesting

[tacit sorrel]

Also had the buddy system

[eager spire]

yes that's what i meant by the 2 man squad system

[tacit sorrel]

Yea replied late

You could grab ammo from them

Or spawn

Good fun games for the time

[eager spire]

yeah and it's getting taken offline next month

i donno how because i thought that was running on Battlelog and people were running their own servers for it

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tacit sorrel]

Pretty old

[solar obsidian]

still cost ea money to keep some master servers up to keep track of stats and profiles

[eager spire]

I guess. Feel like it would be a better idea to just unlock everything on every account in the game before shutting off the master server that keeps track of stats. feel like it's a bit unnecessary to make it so nobody can play the game anymore

[solar obsidian]

most big publishers are only interested in you playing the newest games anyways,

[eager spire]

i mean Warfighter is literally the newest MoH game

they haven't made a new one

[tacit sorrel]

Can’t imagine there’s many players left

[eager spire]

i'm not counting the VR one

[ebon pilot]

lmaooo

[solar obsidian]

dont really matter, the game was already a flop,
whatever was left of the devs team also got shut down after that game

[ebon pilot]

i still haven't finished it

[eager spire]

still a shame cause it didn't look bad

[solar obsidian]

beside that vr game, the whole franchise been on hold ever since

the game even by critics where not happy with that game

[next onyx]

LOL shelled an almost fully loaded bomber with their own tank.

[tacit sorrel]

Black ops 2 happened

[solar obsidian]

battlefield 3 also

[eager spire]

but yeah i think it would be funny if the next BF game was just a 64 player arena shooter

[hexed mango]

my internet is cutting out… lovely

[solar obsidian]

damn

[eager spire]

:(

[solar obsidian]

just play quake 1 instead

quake 2 rtx

[hexed mango]

i was wrong it was discord having a stroke

[tacit sorrel]

Battlefield could really capitalize with cod falling off atm

[hexed mango]

i sent that message 6 hours ago

it just sent through now

[solar obsidian]

long time

[hexed mango]

yeah cause when i sent it, discord was down, i just opened discord on my phone… so i guess it resent it

[solar obsidian]

i see

[hexed mango]

i mean mw2 is still doing so much better than 2042 tho

[eager spire]

well, being entirely fair, any CoD player with a brain(which isn't many of them but that's beside the point) is getting a bit tired of MW2, hell, one of the biggest names in competitive CoD, Scump, is basically retiring because of how bad it is.

and this is someone who's been around for a very long time

[solar obsidian]

some quit, newer players comes to take the spotlight

[tacit sorrel]

If they have a bad season 2 it’s going to be a rough 3 months

Depends on the content

[eager spire]

To be fair, the game does not exactly make a good case for improving as a player, considering SBMM punishes you so heavily for doing well.

[solar obsidian]

we are getting ranked matches in under 30 days

[eager spire]

yeah, but that's a bit redundant if they're not gonna adjust SBMM in casual matches.

[solar obsidian]

i never cared if a game had sbmm or not in the casual matchmaking anyways

[tacit sorrel]

It will be half baked never had any incentive to play ranked

[solar obsidian]

players are overthinking sbmm,

at least there is a decent even skill level in most matches,
and again, casual or ranked for that matter, there will be matches where you just get stomped

[eager spire]

It is a system that does not need to be in casual playlists.

[solar obsidian]

its not uncommon for games to have it

[tacit sorrel]

It’s more manipulative than even skill

[solar obsidian]

no

[eager spire]

and it's not uncommon for it to be annoying.

my statement still stands.

It does not need to be in casual playlists.

[solar obsidian]

see how well battlefield are echoing in here with all the trash teams they match with

thats the world without sbmm, in the most casual shooter on the marked right now

[tacit sorrel]

The matches are predetermined

[eager spire]

SBMM systems with 64/128 players are not viable. To try would be actively detrimental.

[solar obsidian]

this was even talked about in mw19 and cold war,

and yet mw2 still keep attracting players beside these "issues"

[tacit sorrel]

Because it’s called mw2

[solar obsidian]

they manage to do it in battle royales,

surely they can try to find some kind of system

but battlefield have never been a game that tried that

battlefield was a successful franchise until they start shitting out delayed content and poorly balanced and optimised games with bf5 and 2042

the latter being so barebone at launch it was funny taking 60 euro for it

[eager spire]

"building"

[solar obsidian]

mw 19 had cold war, and that average vanguard released between

[eager spire]

MW19 was the best that modern CoD got. And even then it still had blatant issues.

[tacit sorrel]

Also og mw2 was a lot of ppl favorite cod

[solar obsidian]

but instead of starting on scratch each and every yeah in warzone, they just starting added bulk and more content and events all the time

[eager spire]

MW2 just looked at that and decided "y'know what, we wanna be a tactical shooter now"

It would've been so easy for them to fix the issues MW19 had though

[solar obsidian]

all games have some issues, or something some players dont like,

but player numbers and sheer sales just dont lie

[eager spire]

like, it would not be hard

[solar obsidian]

how long have we waited for more portal maps to release in here?

[hexed mango]

yeah but atleast it still has peeps playing it

[solar obsidian]

all the time

[hexed mango]

yeah yeah yeah “steam charts” and what not but they have 70k rn on steam alone. 100k+ peak.

#11 most played game rn on steam

just saying. that’s impressive nonetheless that people are getting bored, which is indeed the case

[solar obsidian]

no

[hexed mango]

no

[solar obsidian]

same client

[hexed mango]

hence why it’s so high

but i mean 2042 has literally less than 1% of that

0.7% if you want to be exact

[eager spire]

Like, it's so easy that it's insulting that they didn't do that. They thought that instead of doing things like limiting shotgun use with the Overkill perk, making smaller maps for 6v6, removing High Alert from the game, it was a better idea to just remove things that people liked, like bhopping, Specialist, and slide cancelling, and replace it with a weird ass perk system that doesn't give you all your perks immediately, a ledge hang system, and water. They thought putting all that effort into doing all that was a better idea than just tweaking the less good parts of MW19.

It's ridiculous. It's insulting.

[hexed mango]

so my point is, mw2 is 99.3% more successful than 2042 ;)

which is inherently a low bar

[eager spire]

yeah but that's more of a statement about how dire the situation for FPS games is right now.

[solar obsidian]

it still have voice chat, all chat,
even all proxy voice with ALL in warzone and dmz lol

[hexed mango]

and it seems 2042 lost the desire

[solar obsidian]

fps genre is fine, its battlefield and halo that are lacking behind,

[eager spire]

no

[hexed mango]

the dire situation, and mw2 being there still shows that it’s the more successful game.

[eager spire]

everyone is lacking.

[hexed mango]

by fact, it is more successful.

[eager spire]

Some are just lacking less than others and people are just taking whatever at this point, there are no standards.

Having standards in the current market is seen as a waste of time.

[hexed mango]

about a year longer

and i don’t think dying in less than a year is a good sign at all lmao

i mean we’ll see where mw2 is by november

but regardless in its first what 3 months of existence it has done better than 2042s first 3 months

[stray python]

Even battlefield 2042 apart from traversal sprinting is slower than every battlefield before it, jumping/crouching/proning is slow as hell , and you can't strafe and aim mid jump

[next onyx]

The actual soldier speed is as fast as a bf3 / bf4 soldier.

[hexed mango]

this time last year 2042 had 8k players.

[next onyx]

But the maps kind of don't work for it.

[idle lion]

better than bf4 players zuzuing everywhere

[stray python]

Running traversal, that's it

[eager spire]

do you even understand what a zouzou is

because i don't think you do

[hexed mango]

got that zaza

[solar obsidian]

bf2042 did not even hit 50k players on steam in the free weekend, ONE MONTH after release

[hexed mango]

[next onyx]

SMK did a test comparing previous soldier speeds.

2042 is in line with Bf3's and 4's, The difference is the pacing.

[eager spire]

because the maps are much larger

[hexed mango]

BRField 2042

the world needs to move on from battle royale. yall ain’t gonna be fortnite 😇

[stray python]

Running speed means 0, you don't run in a gunfight

[hexed mango]

i do

[crimson basin]

Animations, sliding all effect how fast the game feels

[solar obsidian]

two months after release did it break under 10k players

[eager spire]

you're not running mid-fight though, you're ADSing. which means you're not running. @hexed mango

[hexed mango]

i do both

[stray python]

The aiming and moving/jumping/crouching etc feels so bad

[eager spire]

no you're not, you can't

[hexed mango]

in fact i fly while aiming

[eager spire]

you can't run and ADS

[hexed mango]

in fact i actually parachute while in gunfights on the ground

in fact. i actually go into third person

[eager spire]

ok

[solar obsidian]

third person ❤️

[hexed mango]

BF HEROES WHERE YOU AT

BEEN AWFULLY QUITE SINCE 2042

[stray python]

Dice pls release hardline free to play and add some skins to guns to buy

[hexed mango]

quite wtf

quiet *

[hexed mango]

ea play bitches be like 😎

[solar obsidian]

wait

[hexed mango]

i am waiting

[eager spire]

DICE should run official servers for Hardline.

[hexed mango]

after playing BFH today i see why people didn’t like it

[stray python]

They still sell the game full price with no servers lol

[solar obsidian]

i dont own hardline ❤️

[hexed mango]

again, ea play is the solution

[eager spire]

I bought it for like $20 when it came out on Steam. They should've just kept it at that price

[solar obsidian]

game pass

ea play is included

[crimson basin]

Hardline visual design was really good like that museum and bank maps

[eager spire]

Hardline is not a bad game.

[hexed mango]

campaign plays so wonky tho

[solar obsidian]

the campaign was everything wrong with the modern shooters

[eager spire]

I have no comments about the campaign because I'm on PC and the locked FOV annoys me

[hexed mango]

i mean it literally just plays as if it’s trying too hard to be a tv show… and the graphics

[stray python]

You don't own your EA games , you can get banned for toxic in game chat in 1 game and have your entire account banned with all your games lol

[hexed mango]

sounds like a skill issue

[eager spire]

yeah that sounds like a skill issue just don't be toxic in chat

[solar obsidian]

and?

[eager spire]

it's not that hard

[hexed mango]

yeah that aswell pissed me off

i got through the first mission and alt f4’d

[eager spire]

But it was fun in multiplayer when i could play it

[vocal zenith]

meh its not an issue honestly

[solar obsidian]

imagine missing out on a fov slider,
the most basic feature

[hexed mango]

BC2 did the same

granted that’s from like

[eager spire]

to be fair that's a common issue with BF campaigns from the time. BF3 and BF4 had the same issue.

[hexed mango]

2012 or smth

[solar obsidian]

im so happy i can play without it ❤️

i prefer 90 dont get me wrong

[eager spire]

though at least with BF4 you can use Flawless Widescreen to fix it

[solar obsidian]

but it dont negative affect me not having it

[hexed mango]

BFH is default to ducking 75

WHY IS IT 75

[eager spire]

it fucks up some animations and breaks magnified scopes but

[solar obsidian]

and thats even higher than the console where running back then

[hexed mango]

fov >>> technicality

[stray python]

Bf4 ultra looks similar to 2042 yet you get double the fps, what a time to be alive

[hexed mango]

no mackay beard tho

i need my mackay beard

[vocal zenith]

honestly i think the subscription model might do good in the gaming industry since it might make people try non AAA games made by indie devs

[hexed mango]

if i don’t get the fucking beard i will blow up spontaneously

[tame cobalt]

Putting classes in 2042 is a mistake

[eager spire]

i mean i do that anyway, i generally just buy them

[hexed mango]

erm no

🤓

[next onyx]

Would rather consistency.

[tame cobalt]

gadget freedom allows people to fulfill team roles while enjoying the game the way they like it

[vocal zenith]

yea but most people are reluctant to buy indie games tho, so having more exposure is not a bad thing if they treat it like netflix where the game is available for like 6 months and they it gets removed it might get people to buy it later on or something

[next onyx]

By the way. The 1942 mode is genuinely refreshing.

Worth a play.

[stray python]

Gametime.mavvariablefps ~ console command helped reduce input lag too by capping fps in engine, but..... They removed it. Sick

[hexed mango]

and also skip on teamplay, cause nobody likes teamplay right

[next onyx]

The M1D, Sten and BAR is fun.

[solar obsidian]

and?

[signal basin]

I low-key miss my laptop, I'm kinda craving a match of 2042

[next onyx]

You can cap in game can't you.

[hexed mango]

just build a laptop into your head

[vocal zenith]

yea but it also makes meta whores a big problem what happens when everyone on your team runs with a m5 lol

[hexed mango]

too ez

[tame cobalt]

How will classes increase it? Classes will just make mackay and sundance mains even more selfish

[vocal zenith]

or everyone is a mackay or sundance

[next onyx]

Laptop forehead.

[signal basin]

Ah yes, why didn't I think of that.

[solar obsidian]

just use riva tuner like all the rest of us oldies

[eager spire]

oh great, just what i want from my gaming experience, that feeling of putting off watching something, but then immediately when i want to watch it, it's removed from the service, but with video games instead

That is fucking stupid.

I hate that concept.

[signal basin]

I'm at my GFs I can't. I should of brought it with me.

[hexed mango]

having focused and designated roles to utilize gadgets currently underutilized

[stray python]

Rivatuner adds input lag

[signal basin]

I want my rooty shooty tooty

[next onyx]

I just cap my frames through my driver.

[hexed mango]

like, recon, more fine tuned to use soflam or tracker, and engineer (boris and craw specifically) being focused on the launchers

[tame cobalt]

fair

[vocal zenith]

il still buy the games i like but its nice having a wide selection to play when u are bored u know

[solar obsidian]

hitting 100% gpu usage adds more inputlag, pick your poison

[hexed mango]

soflam + launchers = boom

[solar obsidian]

rtss ads one frame in ms of inputlag

thats only 16.6ms at 60hz

[next onyx]

100% usage in either CPU and GPU is the issue.

[stray python]

Driver is not as smooth as less input lag as in game cap

[hexed mango]

support being able to focus on healing and resupplying = boom

[vocal zenith]

for example i wouldnt have returned to bf 2042 if not for the fact that it is free from game pass

[next onyx]

That's what mostly causes it.

Driver good yes.

[hexed mango]

and assault assaulting a federal officer

[eager spire]

I'd rather not have to deal with "oh i'm interested in this but i don't really feel like playing it right now but if i don't it'll probably be removed from the service"

[solar obsidian]

never had issues with battlefield and rivatuner

[next onyx]

Seriously though it's a fucking pain to go into game settings and cap the frames when frames is tied to game speed.

[eager spire]

It's one of the prime things i fucking hate about Netflix.

I wouldn't ever pay for that fucking trashcan service.

[solar obsidian]

then dont ?

[hexed mango]

however, Ratchet, my one complaint is that there are only 2 specialists in the entire game that can use any of the launchers outside of Lis’ tgm

[tame cobalt]

Just two coordinated players with soflam and m5 devastates the entire enemy team's vehicles

[eager spire]

I don't, but that's what i'm saying, i don't want that to be a thing i have to worry about with video games.

[hexed mango]

both of whom suck ass and balls.

however they are getting reworked

[solar obsidian]

then just buy the games

[hexed mango]

hopefully ;)

[stray python]

Who wants to run soflam and m5s with a squad all game just to take out a vehicle that respawns 20 secs later

[hexed mango]

anyways it’s time for me to take part in my daily ritual of sitting in bed to contemplate life, cry, and finally sleep.

[eager spire]

oh also speaking of bad ideas, Stadia's officially dead

rip bozo

[solar obsidian]

if they are too pricey wait for a sale,

they are happening like max 60 days between each other these days

[hexed mango]

me, obviously

[tame cobalt]

YES that's my main issue too, anti-vehicle playstyles will be extremely restrictive now, and you're basically limited to the most campy specialists in the game

[hexed mango]

did ya hear about that one guy that played that game (i forgor the game) for like 5000 hours on stadia and got sent a care package from the devs in support

[vocal zenith]

think of it like this right say i have 30 bucks to spent every month on games if i want to buy a game it will cost 20 ish for an indie tittle and 60 or even 70 now for AAA from the bigger studios which mean i can only buy a big game every few months and maybe 1 indie game every month. but if i have a subscription with hundreds of games i get to play all that and if i really like it i can buy it afterwards or whenever it leaves game pass. thats the way i see it because as much as you can watch gameplay from youtube u dont really know if u like a game untill u actually play it for urself

[next onyx]

Tonk.

Lis will rocket yes. Boris will annoy vehicles with his turret (Presumably) and Crawford will do Crawford things.

[stray python]

Like those medics who revive everyone, yay your team won, but you didn't shoot your gun

[hexed mango]

i should probably find the specific game lol

[next onyx]

Keeping your team healthy goes a long way.

[hexed mango]

Sam said he wasn’t happy with how his design for Crawford was executed, and that they went back and changed him for 3.2

[next onyx]

You don't have to exclusively shoot people.

[stray python]

Might as well not be playing a first person shooter

[next onyx]

@hexed mango

[eager spire]

to be frank, there are certainly things you can see about a game just from watching it, I knew that MW2 was gonna be bad as soon as i saw actual gameplay for it. I saw the weird perk system, i saw the increased visual recoil, i saw the bad UI

[next onyx]

Stupid in game audio didn't record so you couldn't hear my friends reaction.

[hexed mango]

“slander”

i’m done

[solar obsidian]

its why we have steam refund, and same service on epic also

[next onyx]

CUNT WAS SLANDERING MY M1911.

[solar obsidian]

under 2 hours, you just say you did not like it

[next onyx]

You cannot slander my 45 Acp!

[tame cobalt]

shooting people < creating a necromantic army to shoot for you

[hexed mango]

OI MAte BLOODY FUCKING HELL YEAH? Did ya Hear The fucking SLANDER about that laddie’s M1911

[vocal zenith]

yea but if im refunding 10 or 20 different games it sounds like a pain in the ass

[solar obsidian]

you press two button to refund

[eager spire]

do you buy 10/20 games at a time tho

[tame cobalt]

crawford

[solar obsidian]

it takes less times than installing them

[hexed mango]

idk how aussie slang works but ya

[eager spire]

is that honestly something you do

[hexed mango]

Again, when we getting an aussie specialist.

[next onyx]

Would be nice.

[hexed mango]

i expect a roo outfit immediately

[eager spire]

also, refunding is relatively easy but it takes ages for the money you get from refunds to actually be usable

[next onyx]

So you're expecting a fursuit.

[hexed mango]

wowowow

[tame cobalt]

Aussie specialist can summon drop bears on the battlefield

[hexed mango]

don’t take it that far

[vocal zenith]

i mean same could be said about bf2042 ive avoided it because everyone has been trashing on it but the only reason i even tried it was because it was available on game pass lol, if i had to drop money for 2042 i probably wouldnt have tried it in the first place

[hexed mango]

🦘

[next onyx]

Roo outfit.
That's literally what it is.

[solar obsidian]

then wait for a sale, you are not forced to pay full price for any games anyways

[hexed mango]

ok good night everyone i’ll be wearing my roo outfit to sleep

[next onyx]

Night!

[vocal zenith]

if i wana do what i do like in gamepass i would , if im bored out of my mind il download 5 - 10 games at a time and play them all

[solar obsidian]

and if the 30 euro temporary hold is a deal breaker,
i dont even know what to say anymore

[minor ferry]

I have a question for you guys
which do you guys prefer when the class system is reintroduced
1: reroll the medic/ammo crate back to how it works in BFV that you get health and ammo constantly as long as you re in its range
or
2:it stays how it works right now, that you get resupplied on a cooldown basis

[vocal zenith]

it is something ive been doing ever since i got gigabit internet since downloading games takes minutes with fast download speed lol

[solar obsidian]

do like doom eternal, make us able to keep each of all weapon bases in backpack

[minor ferry]

this is kinda unrelated to what I asked?

[vocal zenith]

just get angel to strap his loadout crate on his backpack lol

[solar obsidian]

yeees

[minor ferry]

not angel airdrop thing

[solar obsidian]

put it on the robodog

they need to do more with that though, actually hate how useless it is now

zero utility and it just starts to shoot random planes out of nowhere

[minor ferry]

It just feels insecure in 2042 when I stand in someone's medic crate

[solar obsidian]

BOOM

[vocal zenith]

ive actually gotten a surpring amount of kills with the robodog

especially in duels when i lose the robodog typically finishes them off lol

[solar obsidian]

this is the way

[vocal zenith]

its always satisfying seeing the person that down u die alongside u lol

[eager spire]

yup because you just can't lose a fight

[vocal zenith]

well with 2042 and 128 players its almost like ur destined to die lol with how many players are on the battlefield

i think of robo dog as my non-existant teamate that never leaves me

[eager spire]

"oh well i lost a fight but that doesn't matter because i have a robot dog following me around who's gonna make up for my lack of ability to kill this one person!"

[vocal zenith]

hey its all fair i just had a robo dog and the person im shooting didnt

should have called in the robo dog

same like if i see an enemy and we started fighting each other but i have the latv 4 with 30mm explosive cannon then u can tell who is gonna win

[signal basin]

They're bringing classes back? I wonder if the specialists will become just cosmetic like in Cod with the operators.

[solar obsidian]

just more restrictions mate

[signal basin]

Oh shit.

That's not gonna be unbalanced at all.

[solar obsidian]

yes, like the game have always been 🙂

[signal basin]

Sarcasm

[solar obsidian]

it truly is the battlefield way

[vocal zenith]

nah it just means now recon can't run with an ammo crate and snipe on a tower somewhere with unlimited ammo, if u wana do that u gonna have to (dare i say it) work together with someone lol

[solar obsidian]

they lock ALL sniper and marksman rifles away from angel ?

[vocal zenith]

no weapons will still be available for all classes

so recon can run assult and assult can run snipers

which is a good thing thank god

[solar obsidian]

angel does it again

[eager spire]

"Running out of ammo is a nerf to snipers" -Someone here, i can't remember who

[solar obsidian]

self supply ammo

[vocal zenith]

they can eat their own words, if they sniping with the railgun there no way their gonna run out before dying lol

[solar obsidian]

dont be sad

[pearl ridge]

Who the fuck is this ‘Inspireyourself’ guy and does he play literally anything else

[tame cobalt]

This is just how deez works out sometimes

[pearl ridge]

Fucker’s walking proof of the brokenness of the nightbird

One strafe and six men are dead

[tame cobalt]

Kek

[pearl ridge]

And he’s like S557

Why is it always the guys with stupid amounts of playtime who only do one fucking thing

Do they ever get bored

[solar obsidian]

way to embrace the dedicated in this community

[pearl ridge]

There’s dedication and then there’s obsession.

[solar obsidian]

the latter are mostly those who keep games alive for decades

[pearl ridge]

You never see these guys playing infantry

[solar obsidian]

thank god for playable freedom in this game 🙂

[pearl ridge]

These are the fuckers who stop me from engaging in playable freedoms

[solar obsidian]

just stop him, 🙂

[pearl ridge]

They hard-lock vehicle spawns

[signal basin]

Hmm

[solar obsidian]

[pearl ridge]

This is the sort of game where an Apache is something that makes me go “oh thank god” because it means nobody’s spawned a fucking nightbird.

I can handle gunships. They are dangerous but manageable with the right tactics, as they should be.

[upbeat sand]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptuhmNUuvrk

thats all

[pearl ridge]

But the fucking nightbird carries just as much firepower, and gives control of all of it to the pilot alone.

[upbeat sand]

the bird's do have too much power in their mgs

[wanton bramble]

What time will 3.2 be live?

[next onyx]

It's Ashe.

[upbeat sand]

later in the month

[upbeat sand]

bob do something

[pearl ridge]

Ugh not that fucker.

[next onyx]

1942 is kind of fun actually.

[wanton bramble]

3.2 is suppose to release January 20

I'm just curious on the time 😂

[upbeat sand]

[wanton bramble]

Probably 8 utc

[upbeat sand]

nope thats 0.3.2

from last year

[solar obsidian]

night rider flying edition

[upbeat sand]

wrong patch notes

[solar obsidian]

0.3.2 hahahaha

[chilly jacinth]

people still falling for it

[wanton bramble]

Technically 0.3.2. Though it's abbreviated 3.2

[pearl ridge]

What is the MP9 even for honestly

[wanton bramble]

I'm just using the official title 😂

[pearl ridge]

It’s just. Crap.

[wanton bramble]

And Ashe ain't it

Pick Sojurn

Or JunkRat 😉

😕

[eager spire]

I know Focus used it a lot, and then it got nerfed

[pearl ridge]

I’ve used it in several matches and I only just broke fifteen kills

It’s just so… tiny.

[eager spire]

it used to be usable

but then it wasn't

[pearl ridge]

Completely useless at range and not anything special close up

[eager spire]

much like SMG's in general

[pearl ridge]

They’re just less useful ARs

But the MP9 is by far the least useful of them all

Fuck it I’m grinding out that P90 Pistol in bot matches

I can’t stand this piece of crap

Saw a guy with at least three T1’d weapons at level 89.

[solar obsidian]

[pearl ridge]

I’m at level 88.

What the hell’s up with that guy?

Farming on portal?

[chilly jacinth]

daily skill issue complaining

[pearl ridge]

Fuck off if you don’t have anything of note to say

[chilly jacinth]

I've noted that you have a skill issue

[pearl ridge]

I’ve noted that you’re an arsehole

[chilly jacinth]

cope

[solar obsidian]

players dont want sbmm with equally rated teams and skill in this game,

enjoy the fun

[pearl ridge]

Bot problem: if you die beneath one of those raised prefab buildings on Exposure or Breakaway, a medic bot will enter the building itself, walk over to be above you, and then stare at the floor.

[golden dagger]

We have a job to do.

[solemn stratus]

Is the AM40 a good assualt rifle?

[upbeat sand]

the other thing

with the angels and angels

[golden dagger]

oh

i forgor

[upbeat sand]

Its all angels and angels, till someone angels and angels

[pearl ridge]

Another, easier to fix, bot problem is the fact that they actively refuse to drop ammo, even though some of them are marked as having crates

I also now understand why breakthrough on Exposure is so reviled.

That second sector is just stupid.

How is anyone supposed to hold both objectives at once when they’re not even remotely close to each other, and are straight up at entirely different altitudes?

Attackers really get shafted there

[silk surge]

I've finally mastered Zain's airburst. I had an Exposure game where I got roughly 30 kills with it.

The kills really stacks up when you use it properly.

[chilly jacinth]

they sure do

[upbeat sand]

foolish

ive gotten over 25 kills on dozer's sheild in 1 gamre

[idle lion]

so whens the update going live

after 3 hours of straight copium i think ive finally come to terms with the removal of c5 from assault and im ready

[upbeat sand]

its not

that isnt the true patchnotes

those are from 2021-2022

its not 3.2

[idle lion]

wait so its not updating today

[versed wave]

no

[pearl ridge]

Noice

[upbeat sand]

yeah we're in 1.3.2

you where looking at 0.3.2

before S1

[upbeat sand]

and i could of gotten more but

dx errore

ey i got the achievement by total accident

[remote meteor]

3.1.2

[upbeat sand]

that

[pearl ridge]

I’d have a lot better match score if they actually gave it for support actions

[ripe hedge]

3.2 hype

[pearl ridge]

Never mind I’m the only reason you motherfuckers have ammo

But ooh have you seen Pp29 spammer #60? They totes contributed more!

Repairing only gives score if the guy you repaired kills something while you’re doing it.

Healing doesn’t even give you anything at all because it doesn’t count as assisting

Neither does ammo

[upbeat sand]

alex can you go on twitter and just say "healing removed"

[pearl ridge]

I mean hell you only get twenty xp for healing!

[upbeat sand]

with no contex

[pearl ridge]

It’s not even based on health!

They had a perfectly functional scoring system in every other game

[idle lion]

is it really that time again mr freeman

[pearl ridge]

Watch as Rao’s use rate drops off a cliff

[eager spire]

@ripe hedge hey do you know the new sights and all of the new guns are off center when ADS

[pearl ridge]

Huh. Cyanide is in my squad. Well, better there than on the enemy team…

[last swift]

🚅3.2-hype-train

[ripe hedge]

The 1942 ones? yeah we know 🙂 Thanks

[eager spire]

ah just figured i'd ask, cool

[idle lion]

what time will 3.2 be coming out

[arctic grove]

is it normal for the game to drop fps to like 90 with a 3070ti

unless my 5600x is old already or something

[pearl ridge]

And the one time that guy’s on my side the enemy team is so incompetent that I struggle to even find them.

[mental delta]

Hey Alex, I know 3.2 is planned for the 31th, just wanted you to know that I know

[pearl ridge]

Tried the P90. Feels weaker than other SMGs but at least it’s not the damn mp9

Seems that almost every portal weapon has power issues.

[mental delta]

What's wrong with MP9

[pearl ridge]

It’s just anaemic.

[next onyx]

The m1d scope is so thick as well.

[pearl ridge]

Tiny effective range but it’s no good within it either.

[low timber]

M1D?

[pearl ridge]

Garand sniper I think

[low timber]

Ah, haven’t much lately, damn kidney stones.

[paper totem]

Guys
My mouse is 3200 dpi and it has 4 changing colours
Does that mean that each colour is 800 dpi more? ( it doesn't have a software)

[grizzled whale]

probably

[cloud sonnet]

Oh and about DPIs, I'm on 1600 but my mouse sensitivity is only at 5 cause it moves so much. Is it just me?

[shy latch]

in theory yes, in reality could not be like that. you should try to find your mouse online and see on the official website the DPI steps

[next onyx]

The garand sniper is the M1D yeah.

Florian - DRUNKKZ3 (@DRUNKKZ3)

@Despair_m8 @tiggr_ @Straatford87 @Battlefield weapon sway is going to change (across the board) with update 3.2 so hopefully hold breath will feel a bit more necessary with sniper rifles and in turn make the weapon proficiency more attractive.

Twitter · Jan 20, 2023, 9:47 AM

[low timber]

Meanwhile you can’t hold breath with the GVT and Rorsch at all.

[pearl ridge]

Feel like they did something with 2042 that makes sniper rifles less effective with console controls compared to, say, V

[remote kiln]

tldr it's in your interest to have a modest/higher DPI rather than a higher sensitivity, because DPI is much more calibrated in terms of movement across a screen, readjusting sensitivity leads to offshoot/overshoot of target acquisition more often than not

I wouldn't advise a sensitivity above 4% unless you're on 1440p or above, 2200-2400 DPI will probably work for you

[next onyx]

Double xp people's.

Probably worth a go

[ancient peak]

Ah good. That should get me through the rest of the Battlepass

[patent path]

when will the battlepass end?

[next onyx]

6 weeks .

[patent path]

ah so I have enough time then

[ancient peak]

Pah-lenty of time

[idle lion]

ggs i just finished the battlepass

[spark leaf]

Is there a specific method to level up the fastest or is it just play multiplayer?

[ancient peak]

Get all the xp. Play a character that can get a lot of ribbons etc

Play during 2x xp weekend

Etc

[spark leaf]

What would be such a character?

[ancient peak]

Falck/Angel

Play breakthrough

[wide shore]

Falck with an ammo box. On breakthrough or rush chaos

Double XP weekend rn too.

Hell even just spotting with Casper’s drone in the above gamemodes would net you loads of xp

[real ether]

Are classes really coming back?

[wide shore]

Yes

[real ether]

damn

[real ether]

classes are shit ngl

[formal imp]

Why

[arctic grove]

Way better for infantry to vehicle balancing and incentivizing class roles

There was no reason anyone besides an Engineer should have ever been allowed to use a rocket. Just fucked everything up, same thing with a Recon using an ammo box

Which are simply two examples of my earlier comment

[real ether]

I just don't like that weapons are class-locked

:/

[arctic grove]

No worries, they’re not

[clever marlin]

Only certain ones

At least now I’ll be spending more time with my boy Casper

🤣

[arctic grove]

All weapons will remain unlocked for all classes to use, it’s just classes will receive certain buffs for using weapons in line with their class type

[clever marlin]

Gotta master the motion sensor

[formal imp]

Fortunately they won’t be

[real ether]

oh thanks for the info

[clever marlin]

Also all load outs will be reset to their original amounts

So assault gets M5, PBX for support, LCMG for engineers (idk why), and SWS for recons

On that subject, why are engineers getting light machine guns

[sharp marten]

What

[clever marlin]

Wouldn’t it make more sense to give it to supports

[quick egret]

Why not I guess medics are going to be more frontline

[sharp marten]

There is no gun restrictions

[clever marlin]

Yeah but I mean

[quick egret]

Proficiency bonus

[clever marlin]

Why are engineers getting proficiencies for LMGs

when their role is anti vehicle

[arctic grove]

Support is likee

A bit like medic

I assume that’s why

[real ether]

it doesn't make any sense imo

[clever marlin]

If anything, support should get that since their role is for defense purposes

[quick egret]

Medic had smg in V and it worked pretty well

Engineer support had lmg in V

[arctic grove]

Supports assume the role of medic a bit, so I think that’s why they wanted to give them an smg proficiency

[clever marlin]

Medics and support in general should be more responsive and be more in the lines of defense

[arctic grove]

They’ll be dealing with close quarters a lot if they’re running up to bodies

That’s my theory anyway

[ancient peak]

The way I see it, engineer is sort of built around static defense rather than fluid offense/defense. Crawford and Boris’s specials are suited to chokepoints and defense. Lis is an outlier but like Boris and Crawford she has access to land mines etc for defense

[shy latch]

it doesn't make any sense simply because 2042 was not developed with classes in mind, and this kind of "forcing" back to classes makes some things illogical and needs of adaptions

[arctic grove]

I mean I heard like 3 specialists will be getting adjusted for classes anyways so presumably for all specialists that need it they’ll change

I’m glad they’re doing it though cause man

I know it’s not bound to magically make people heal you more but at least supports will be forced to be dedicated to their role without an assault or recon being able to do like 60% of their job for them

[shy latch]

uhm....nope

even on previous BFs when medic where nearby you a lot of times they never revived you

[arctic grove]

Classes aren’t magic

But what I mean is at least the role is clearly defined

[shy latch]

exactly, classes aren't magic, so there will not be any difference from this point of view

[arctic grove]

The difference won’t be massive

But there will certainly be a difference

Taking away ammo boxes from every other type of class immediately puts more responsibility on supports

Which is a good thing

The class system has proven itself over I dunno how many games over like the past 10+ years

It never needed to be changed anyways

It would’ve been even cooler if they brought back Vs subclasses. Like I know for medic one let’s you run quicker if you ping a downed friendly

[clever marlin]

Here’s the thing though

People have favorite operators

And will prefer to use one operator over another

[arctic grove]

Yes

[clever marlin]

So I suspect this will cause a lot more support and assaults over recons and engineers

[ancient peak]

Eh… I suspect engineers to be played a lot in conquest purely because of vehicles

[shy latch]

probably yes, afaik the top 3 used specialists are Falck, Angel and McKay

[real ether]

i miss the eod robot

[arctic grove]

It’s coming back actually

[clever marlin]

If anything though this will likely give incentives to buff the other specialists to make this more appealing

[real ether]

i miss playing operation locker with eod robot

[arctic grove]

It all could be subject to change to make all classes equally incentivizing

[shy latch]

imo 2042 from class/specialist point of view shouldn't be touched; at least the class return was better to have with the next BF title

[arctic grove]

That’s understandable

I mean if anything was gonna change I would’ve still at least wanted like, launchers to be adjusted

I dunno tho cause it all sounds chaotic when you think about it, mostly free gadgets across 64 players on one team alone

[shy latch]

for me the problem isn't the free gadgets across 64 people, for me one of the biggest problem is having 64 players per team

[clever marlin]

Also they need to rework map sizes for 64 player modes

[shy latch]

when I heard about 128p server I was enthusiast, but later when I played it I understood wasn't a good move, too many people

[clever marlin]

In addition to bringing back 128 player breakthrough

[arctic grove]

Nobody insults lord 128 conquest /j

It’s cool on the reworked versions of the map

Travel time is still longer but that’s a given

[clever marlin]

But I think server and network stability is something the developers should target next

That and render latency

50-70ms render latency is high

With low latency mode and reflex enabled

[shy latch]

128p isn't a matter of travel time, is a matter of fights

[clever marlin]

Oh and more importantly: doubling the vehicle counts for 128 player modes

[arctic grove]

Oh yeah to clarify I just meant I personally don’t have too many complaints for 128 conquest

[quiet shell]

I predict.. patchnotes this upcoming monday, and then the update on the 23d

[sharp marten]

I’m holding you to that

If you’re wrong you owe everyone in the discord boins

[clever marlin]

No it’s today

[sharp marten]

That’s not true

[arctic grove]

100 boins per person

[shy latch]

2042 already have a lot of verticality compared to any other previous BF title, plus the stealth heli with those damn HE bombs and a couple of specialist that can reach absurd points, having 64 players against you is something that ruin the game experience because you literally should have 100 eyes

[arctic grove]

I can see why you think that

[clever marlin]

The stealth heli needs a counter act to the stealth mode

[arctic grove]

Slightly off topic but I hate Mackay and Sundance still having C5

[clever marlin]

What they should do is when it gets emped or hacked, it will leave stealth mode

[shy latch]

updates generally arrives on Tuesday, so if the update will come this week on 23rd there will be the patchnote and on 24th the upadte

[arctic grove]

Sundance can fly up behind you from literally cross map so you’re constantly scanning around. I mean the mobility is cool but damn, I like not having to do it as much in almost any other title

[shy latch]

there is already but very few use

[arctic grove]

Like you need situational awareness as a vehicle player period but when Mackay and Sundance exist it’s just pain

[ancient peak]

Sweaty players love those two specialists

[shy latch]

I never tried with EMP (is very hard even with Casper's drone), but if you hack with Rao the heli is forced to exit the stealth mode

[stiff pollen]

Update will be next week on Tuesday

They wouldn’t have announced changes this early if not the update arriving next week

[arctic grove]

How Do I unlock Weapons and Customization?

[shy latch]

btw I wonder if together the update 3.2 will come the other changes also (like the APS on vehicles, turrets speed), if so it's going to be a big patch

[stiff pollen]

Who knows

I’m done with this season completely so I’m only logging in for new shit

[spark leaf]

I unlocked a ton of attachments quickly by playing Breakthrough against bots

[arctic grove]

I’d like to think so

[shy latch]

everything is written on the weapon/skin/attachment you want to unlock when you select it

[quaint vector]

Maily from Kills. If you want it very fast and easy, you can jump into Solo with AI's and Master Weapons until Mastery 13

[clever marlin]

Oh it’s mastery 13?

I thought it was 20

[arctic grove]

Oh the next update Next Tuesday?

Man if so that’s perfect

[spark leaf]

Getting a skin for a weapon you dont have unlocked lets you use it right?

[patent prism]

no.

[arctic grove]

That’s cod

We ain’t cod

[spark leaf]

Lol fair enough had no idea 😄

[arctic grove]

any update on that stealth bomber ya all?

Nothing new yet

[crimson basin]

Only 11 more days in this month, why they keep saying later this month

[astral quiver]

on the 31st

[devout quest]

i normally play on PC but sometimes i like to play on my couch/console, w/ crossplay off the game is basically not playable (no lobbies), have they said anything about combining ps4/5 and xbox one/series lobbies (would be only 64 players, 128 could be a different queue)

similar to how bfv lobbies for ps4 and ps5 are the same

[arctic grove]

They have not

[pseudo pecan]

which platform has the most active player base and least bots? (if pc, does store matter? ie steam vs ea app directly?)

[still vault]

Both new consoles and PC can play together, doesn't matter which PC storefront.

No hard numbers suitable to compare between to come to any conclusion about player numbers.

[pseudo pecan]

gotcha ty, well good to know cause for PC players since storefront doesnt matter, it just went on sale on steam

[still vault]

Epic and Steam both boot the EA app which then launches the game.

[shy latch]

should be, it's not official

[spiral folio]

Mmboy extra steps

[hexed mango]

erm it’s 12

[quaint vector]

[next onyx]

@mighty holly

Forgot to ping angra.

[slender hare]

guys why is BF5 so much hated?

[chilly jacinth]

it isn't

[slender hare]

nice way to win

[shy latch]

nobody hate it except for those idiots still thinking "it's inaccurate because women didn't fights during WW2"

[wide shore]

Anymore

[sharp marten]

Have you seen the modern bar yet?

[spark leaf]

Is there a benefit to stacking Subsonic rounds AND Suppressors? They do the same thing right?

[next onyx]

@sharp marten Yes.

[ancient peak]

As is usual, the previous title becomes the second coming

[sharp marten]

It’s the best thing in the world

Bar in general is just a great gun

Oh dude people will always complain

You literally can’t please anyone

[shy latch]

they do different things: suppressors don't shows you on minimap when you shoot over 20 meters (with the light suppressors), subsonic rounds doesn't have bullet trace; so if you have equipped one or the other or both you going to have different bonuses (and maluses as well)

And fingers crossed if the new Op has a mortar people are going to piss themselves

Most people who hate the games usually don’t give it a second change and still think it’s a bad game like bro grow up the games decent dare I say pretty good fight me

I was playing in another server last night completely unrelated to BF and had 3 separate people come in and try to tell me how bad of a game it is and then all say they last played at launch

And then one of them told me I couldn’t say I didn’t like BF1 because I was playing 2042

Like bruh, I got my start in the franchise in BF1 and put 600 hours in it and loved it until I played literally any other game in the franchise and realized how busted it is

All because I tried to say it’s gotten a lot better since launch, and I think most people who actually pay attention to the game would agree

Yes

[arctic grove]

it won't be 100% classic

don't be hopeful

[radiant prism]

There’s a few preliminary lists of which class gets which gadgets but it’s likely changed since it was last talked about. We’ll find out once the patch notes come out

[solid imp]

I get that people have moved on and not interested in giving it another shot, but continuing to rail about the game like it's 2021 is kinda sad lol

[radiant prism]

Last I saw assault gets medpen, armor, smoke launcher, and I think claymore, engineer gets the rocket launchers (including the Javelin), repair tool, AT mines, and C5, support gets the crates, and recon gets SOFLAM, deploy beacon, sensor nades, and C5

That’s not complete and there’s more that I can’t remember lol

Oh yeah like engineer also gets the EOD bot

[arctic grove]

I'm still rooting for portal

so

[radiant prism]

I would be more interested in portal but I think they’re right to focus on the main game

Though it is a lot of wasted potential

Hopefully they can try to bring it back

[arctic grove]

unless they're changing the main game direction around

[drowsy shuttle]

3.2 is out yet?

[radiant prism]

No

Likely next week

[arctic grove]

if they aren't doing that

I'm not interested

[drowsy shuttle]

give us the update already, Dice.

life is too short

[arctic grove]

and return to the classic BF

you pussy

do it

[radiant prism]

oh no another week to wait for my video game

[drowsy shuttle]

i might not have another week

[wide shore]

He’s got a point

[radiant prism]

If that’s the only thing you have to worry about for the last week of your life that’s kinda sad

[drowsy shuttle]

maybe... but i already had a nice life

[wide shore]

Having nothing else to worry about is kinda a blessing, no?

[radiant prism]

I mean maybe

Podcast

I hope they talk about season 4 or beyond in it

[sharp marten]

Battlefield has a podcast now can we call it battle cast?

[sharp marten]

That’s gonna happen in the next bf

[arctic grove]

I sure hope theres no siege specialists

and BETTER gunplay

[spiral folio]

Podcast is a really weird and dated term by now

[sharp marten]

Battle cast

[spiral folio]

Originally it was called that for regularly downloaded radio show things to ipods

[sharp marten]

What do you call them now?

Talkie time

[chilly jacinth]

castpods

[sharp marten]

Codspast

[spiral folio]

They had another name before apple acted like they invented it too but because ipods were the popular mp3 player

[sharp marten]

Bro the old days

[radiant prism]

Did you guys know podcast is an anagram for deltarune

[sharp marten]

With the mp3

[spiral folio]

But yea PODcast cause any single person has an ipod still

[sharp marten]

To big word for me

[spiral folio]

Yea rearrange the letters for podcast... add a few and take some away...
Spells satan

Just saying

[sharp marten]

Ope new bf2042 lore confirmed

[spiral folio]

10th floor arbys

[calm bison]

People be seeing these new class changes and act like it’s the worst thing in the world

I saw someone compare 3.2 to BFV’s 5.2

Like good god

[spiral folio]

Its bad

[calm bison]

Not really

[spiral folio]

Yea it is

If you play at over 100m its bad

[calm bison]

5.2 was awful. Truly awful. It was like throwing pebbles at Godzilla

In addition literally no one asked for it

Literally no one

[spiral folio]

5.2 maybe what made me leave for bf1

3.2 might again

[next onyx]

Yeah nothing will be as bad as 5.2.

[calm bison]

3.2 is not nearly as bad as 5.2

[spiral folio]

I dont really have an idea what 5.2 was exactly

[calm bison]

5.2 completely upset TTK values

[spiral folio]

I just know eventually i got sick of bf5

[calm bison]

Allow to illustrate with the FG-42

At 100m

[next onyx]

100m no.

[calm bison]

The FG-42 took 19 bullets to kill

On 5.2 release

[next onyx]

Beyond 30m it would take 17 rounds.

Which was unreasonable.

[calm bison]

They buffed that value a little in 5.2.2

But it was still awful

[next onyx]

To a 9hk.

[calm bison]

I remember getting killed by it one time and thinking impossible

[next onyx]

Yeah dice wants to forget it existing because I doubt they actually wanted it going through.

[spiral folio]

At 30m?

[calm bison]

5.2 was what led me to actually play the MG-42 with the light bolt because that thing was bugged and didn’t get the 5.2 values

[spiral folio]

Bf5 seemed to really favor automatics how i felt

[calm bison]

When 6.2 came out it was like a fucking national holiday

Like holy shit we can actually kill the enemies this time

[spiral folio]

I didn't hate bf5 but 1 seemed just more fun

[next onyx]

Look how much better the game plays now.

[calm bison]

Except most people don’t know that anymore

They dropped BFV as soon as 5.2 came out and never looked back

In turn they have no idea that the TTK was reverted

So they end up hating BFV just now for an even dumber reason

[spiral folio]

I cant remember when i stopped playing bf5. Between the planes and that crappy server i used

[calm bison]

Which shouldn’t be possible since the first reasons were already dumb as hell

[spiral folio]

I really blame the LEB server as much as the usual sniper nerfs

Like I can deal with not being able to snipe in a game

But like that server basically encouraged team stacking

Some clan routinely stacked the server and you'd have the whole losing team like "hey can some people swap teams to make this fair, it's killing the server"

And the admins just like "theyre not breaking any rules, deal with it"

[calm bison]

You could only swap teams on console iirc

[spiral folio]

Ok -half the team leaves-

[calm bison]

Since console had the ability to join on a random player given that BFV never had a swap team button

[spiral folio]

Like they literally actually ruined the server

[solid imp]

That's one of the main arguments against rentable third-party servers

[spiral folio]

Yes like bf5s weird lack of auto balance

Due to character customization

[calm bison]

I hate third party servers because the people running them have a strange lack of any creativity

Like damn people

It wouldn’t kill you to not make these 3200 ticket 200% damage HC servers all the time

[solid imp]

I personally loved them and miss them dearly, but we ran ours with balance, only basic votemap type stuff to keep it easy and simple to understand

There were loads which were poorly run

[calm bison]

If there was a community server that had all of the maps in BF4 on conquest large, I would marathon that shit

[spiral folio]

Private servers are finicky as private citizens

One server could be fair and then "using 08/18 = ban on sight"

The bf1 server i use usually just says like "no art trucks in the uncap"

[silver arch]

Is the BF1942 game mode limited time or something more permanent

[spiral folio]

Portal servers are a bonus to the game its not a full fledged game

[solid imp]

is the corollary that public citizens are not finnicky?

[spiral folio]

They can be

[spiral folio]

I was on one where like i was supporting a flank and this guy goes "you can't be there" huh? "You cant shoot from there cause its hard to shoot you its basically off the map" its literally not . Likebthe left flank wall on fort vaux

In the end they wanted me like basically on the front. Left the server like ok this is stupid.

[solid imp]

Portal Logic + private servers would clarify the rules at least 🙂

If you don't want me there, kill me when I enter that zone and don't leave in like... 5 or 10 seconds

[spiral folio]

I kinda hope they just unleash portal later on

[solid imp]

If you don't do that, don't complain about me being there

[spiral folio]

Like let you modify every setting or attribute ever

[patent prism]

bf map editor wen

[spiral folio]

Like speed gravity hp etc like anything

All weapons from all eras

[solid imp]

In one of the surveys

They asked about whether a map editor to move assets around would be desirable

[spiral folio]

:u

More than desirable

[solid imp]

I think I not only answered Yes with many !!!! but in open text answers later on repeated how much I want that lol

[spiral folio]

Like if i could bear their children is that enough

[patent prism]

A map editor would be extremely desirable in my view.

[spiral folio]

Yea man imagine what you could do

[patent prism]

I mean I guarantee there would be "XP farms" abusing that mechanic, but I kinda don't care about that as much.
