battlefield-2042

[copper fulcrum]

If it was in the throwable slot it'll be more spotting spam

[wild marlin]

yeah but you can't resupply yourself anymore

[plain needle]

Mfw the tracer dart gun is coming to AOW:

[copper fulcrum]

So less prox sensor spam

[wild marlin]

ammo crates are way more scarce now

[jovial jay]

You already have the casper main camping at the back of the map doing spotting

[wild marlin]

support exclusive

[wild marlin]

but what if you don't wanna play Casper 😳

trust me it simply makes way more sense as a throwable

[copper fulcrum]

But on the other hand, grenades and prox sensors at the same time

[plain needle]

🫠

[wild marlin]

I think it's better to see a red dot on the map, then rely on the stupidity of others for kills

[copper fulcrum]

Recons can also use the C5

[plain needle]

Absolutely, also in a game where the tracers are so easy tii on see, people still can’t tell I’m shooting at someone WHILE THEYRE GETTING SPOTTED

[wild marlin]

like I've never been in a situation where I couldn't blame myself for a grenade death

[wild marlin]

like people don't check their maps half the time anyways, so how is it an issue to have a red dot on your map more often

[plain needle]

“B-b-b-but 3d spotting bad”

[wild marlin]

what even is 3d spotting

did people not have red dots over their heads before?

[plain needle]

In bfv it was different

It was just a ping

[wild marlin]

like not a red dot over their head?

[radiant prism]

Yeah

[plain needle]

Yeah

[wild marlin]

then how are they spotted lol

red outline?

[jovial jay]

Good thing this is modern war game, in sci fi setting like battlefront 2 they have live update legal wallhax

[radiant prism]

There was still 3D spotting in BFV but you couldn’t just press the button to put the red dot over their head

[jovial jay]

[plain needle]

^

[radiant prism]

There was a difference between a blank ping and a ping on an enemy

Tbh I liked it a lot more

[plain needle]

Yea, so like the ping moved with the enemy, compared to like the last location of the ping

[spiral folio]

oh wow its matched me into 3 games in a row

AND a different map even

[wild marlin]

ah icy

[spiral folio]

i should buy a lottery ticket

[plain needle]

No

Gambling bad

[radiant prism]

Ping wouldn’t move with the enemy, just would be red as opposed to yellow

[spiral folio]

..two lottery tickets

[wild marlin]

lottery is the fools tax

[copper fulcrum]

And only your squad will be able to see that ping

[spiral folio]

yea but it's bound to pay out eventually

[radiant prism]

And would have the icon of whatever you saw

[wild marlin]

I think what we have now is fine

[spiral folio]

I won FOUR dollars off powerball when it was at 2billion i'll have you know

[wild marlin]

I like having a red dot follow people around

[jovial jay]

Wow

[plain needle]

Same

[spiral folio]

so what if it cost me 10 to get it

[radiant prism]

I’m not the biggest fan of 3D spotting but it’s not too egregious at least

It’s not BF4 dorito warfare at least

[plain needle]

XD

[jovial jay]

Dorito warfare?

[wild marlin]

like right now, I press Q on someone, red dot appears above them, I'm happy

but let's go back to the actual important topic

[radiant prism]

Yeah, the big red triangle that would show up

[plain needle]

Bf4 pings we’re triangles

[jovial jay]

Oh yea that lol

[radiant prism]

That was often all you needed to shoot at to get kills

[wild marlin]

which is the poor decision making

[jovial jay]

In 1 where you'd have map with extreme fog it is exactly like that

Just shoot in the general direction of the ping

[next onyx]

I do think this version of 3d spotting hasn't actually changed too much in a negative way.

[jovial jay]

[wild marlin]

but yeah I think the recons class gadget being the insertion beacon is kinda cringe ngl

[radiant prism]

Agreed

With way

[wild marlin]

nah w me

cuz I'm objectively correct 💀

[radiant prism]

[wild marlin]

like why

[radiant prism]

I’ve been outplayed

[jovial jay]

Isnt that what recon do

[wild marlin]

bro experienced authoritarianism 💀

[radiant prism]

Yeah idk what other class you could put it on

[wild marlin]

just make it an open gadget

for every class except assault lol

[copper fulcrum]

Thankfully this means less Insertion Beacons on bullshit spots

Like on the very top of towers where Mackay will grapple hook up to

[fiery scarab]

Did anyone else like this week's portal modes or just me

[next onyx]

Generally glad there'll be consistency.

[wild marlin]

like as long as assault doesn't have it, it's chill

[copper fulcrum]

Everyone enjoys 1942

If you don't, you're a domestic animal

[fiery scarab]

Yes agreed

[wild marlin]

an orange cat? 🐈

[jovial jay]

Whats the portal for the week

[copper fulcrum]

Don't bring Nyphon into this

[next onyx]

Hope they patch the m1d garands scope because it's too thick.

[wild marlin]

just saw ur pfp, genuinely comedic

[fiery scarab]

1942 rendezvous and tank supremacy

[next onyx]

My favourite gun in that mode.

[copper fulcrum]

You don't like thick things?

[wild marlin]

I sure do 😳

[fiery scarab]

Wait is it Like the proper sight or id it just chonky

[next onyx]

The middle bar is thick.

[jovial jay]

thomas the tie fighter

[next onyx]

A bit difficult to see through.

[fiery scarab]

Mm

I get ya

[wild marlin]

Thomas the imperialist engine 😭

so yeah I think the supports class gadget being the defib is kinda cringe

like it's literally the a passive ability

[placid echo]

I got the new skin for Dozer, he seems to sound a little different with it on
https://streamable.com/vbrgd0

[solar obsidian]

[fiery scarab]

Homt

[wild marlin]

will this affect the local Mongolian uncle population?

[hollow iris]

Inevitably

[wild marlin]

no good, shut it down

[olive iron]

Do you need ps plus for bots?

[placid echo]

But I like Japanese Dozer https://streamable.com/dgm89b

[placid echo]

I think so

[mental delta]

[copper fulcrum]

I am very much correct

[olive iron]

Idk

[mental delta]

If people don't like this game it's ok, no need to call them names

[olive iron]

Why would I need ps plus for bota

Bots

[wild marlin]

so yeah, like supports having no class gadget is cringe

[mental delta]

Where did you see that ?

[wild marlin]

they just had their passive moved to the same slot

[mental delta]

Ha I see

[wild marlin]

kinda cringe imo

like I'd take the fucking smoke grenade launcher over this shite

[quaint vector]

Cuz BF2042 requires Internet Connection and Connection to your EA account

Which is basically Multiplayer

[mental delta]

Yeah I really want to see the new update cause for the moment I don't understand shit

[wild marlin]

I can explain the changes to you if you like 😊

[mental delta]

Yeah please

[wild marlin]

I have a pretty in-depth understanding of what's coming up which is why I can't stop bitching and moaning about it

basically every single selectable item except your guns is getting some sort of restriction

not everyone is getting the same pool of open gadgets, and grenades

all 4 of the classes are gonna be equipped with a constant class gadget which you cannot change

except support gets shafted

[jovial jay]

What about player model? Same old model as before?

A bunch of grandmas?

[wild marlin]

specialists aren't going anywhere

and yeah you can have all the old grandma's you want still

[jovial jay]

Well heck lol, its just a nitpicky thing but I still prefer the grunt identity of previous games

[mental delta]

What are the class gadgets for the other classes ?

[wild marlin]

med pen for assault, engineer has repair tool, support has defib, recon has insertion

[mental delta]

And it means now you have : class gadget, selectable gadget and specialist gadget ?

[wild marlin]

yes

[pallid valve]

Dead game

[radiant prism]

k

[mental delta]

Lol but for us console players it will be hard

[copper fulcrum]

On the bright side, you can now kill with the Defib

[radiant prism]

All the gadgets!

[mental delta]

Lol it's... interesting I would say

[ebon pilot]

technically support passives are specifically modifications to their class gadget

Falck defibs restore you to full health
Angel defibs restore your ammo
Irish defibs restore gadget ammo

[jovial jay]

What, how can a defib restore ammo

[ebon pilot]

don't ask questions

[jovial jay]

Is it just a logically ignored mechanic

Well ok

[ebon pilot]

that's just what happens when you get revived

[drowsy shuttle]

New tech idefib. v4.5 comes with integrated ammo box

[copper fulcrum]

It's a video game, that's why

[ebon pilot]

I like to think that in the process of reviving Angel and Irish just throw an ammo box on you

[jovial jay]

Yes that make sense

[radiant prism]

I mean Crawford currently can revive you and give you multiple recoilless rifle rounds

[jovial jay]

[ebon pilot]

and now it's going to be Irish's passive

[radiant prism]

Is it?

[drowsy shuttle]

So who thinks we gonna get patch notes tomorrow?

[radiant prism]

Might be patch notes tomorrow, update tuesday, but I think it might be more likely to get patch notes tuesday update thursday

[ebon pilot]

yeah, Irish gets Crawford's passive, Crawford gets critical repair

[radiant prism]

Ohhh ok

Where'd you get those screencaps?

[ebon pilot]

secret

[drowsy shuttle]

I think it will be a tuesday to be at the same time of the new weekly missions... but i think will be the last tuesday of the month, january 31

[ebon pilot]

jk it's the development update vid
https://youtu.be/ILzSJehTK7Q?t=116

[radiant prism]

Oh thats a fair point yeah

[next onyx]

Wonder why smgs and lmgs were switched around.

[ebon pilot]

i guess because supports are supposed to be running around with teammates fighting infantry where smgs make more sense and engineers are making forts and stuff

plus every lmg has an anti-armor ammo type

honestly if there's one thing i want from this update it's this UI

i'm so tired of scrolling

[dapper river]

Please don't let them wait until Jan. 31st for the update, please release the update this coming Tuesday

[ebon pilot]

it'd be really funny if they did though

[dapper river]

"Mid season update" comes in the final third of the season

[snow badge]

Anyone else getting random hard crashes on console lol

Game freezes for no reason then kicks me back to the dashboard

Been happening frequently since the beginning of the season

Happens almost every time I pilot a jet

[wild marlin]

yeah but that's not the best primary for killing tanks by any measure

like they're tryna get engineers to be ljke

oh dude there's a tank, let's take out ap rounds out and crouch

which is fucking stupid imo

the AT power comes from the open gadget

or the rorsch with a good mag dump

like if you're mag dumping a tank with an lmg, eventually they're gonna see your bullets and shoot you

[ebon pilot]

unless you use subsonic rounds

[wild marlin]

With a rorsch you're gonna have a harder time triangulating where you're getting shot from because theyre reloading half the time anyways

[wild marlin]

subsonic rounds that do nothing to armor 💀

like we're talking about AT here

[ebon pilot]

engineers don't just fight tanks

[wild marlin]

it's literally the thought process behind the new proficiency

[wild marlin]

ok but what's the job tho

[ebon pilot]

emplacements

[wild marlin]

not in this game

you're thinking in battlefield 1 and 5 terms

[remote kiln]

they fight their own tank, to repair it

[ebon pilot]

you are thinking in those terms

[ancient peak]

I love how the first comment in that video is “I just wanted BF3/4”

[ebon pilot]

I'm thinking of Boris's sentry and Crawfords minigun

[wild marlin]

how can I be when I've never played either games

[wild marlin]

both of which are unfitting in their current states

because they have nothing to do with the roles they fill

[ebon pilot]

well how can I if I never played 5 and barely played 1 like 7 years ago

[wild marlin]

well something is for certain

and that's the lack of understanding with the weapon proficiencies dice is implementing

quite literally a conflict of interest

does anyone know if the ghostmaker explosive bolts damage vehicles?

[ebon pilot]

I mean, SMGs don't really make sense on engineer either. What does?

[wild marlin]

I don't think it should be that either lol, utility weapons made way more sense imo

exclusively cuz of the rorsch for sure

[ebon pilot]

half the utility weapons are shotguns

[split hemlock]

i dont understand why the traits have to be to a certain gun type

[wild marlin]

but I wouldn't mind running around with a shotgun I can reload faster while playing lis or Crawford

[remote kiln]

they do, not by a lot though

[wild marlin]

does it outdo a Rorsch mag dump?

[remote kiln]

by the time you consider it running out of ammo, not really

[wild marlin]

then the rorsch is still king primary anti vehicle weapon

[remote kiln]

its roughly level, they both take so long anyways that you wouldnt notice the difference

[wild marlin]

idk man you can chunk a tank pretty fast with the full auto capacitor

it's a solid 15 damage every clip

and that's to heavy armor

[remote kiln]

rorsch damage got nerfed last patch, so not really

[wild marlin]

that nerf was exclusive to the high capacitor

your full auto capacitor does the same damage it did on release

[remote kiln]

even with AC its asinine having to dump a mag into it

unless theyre under like 30 is it worth it

youll just get shot by some other sniper

[wild marlin]

I can't vouch for that, I've mopped up tons of vehicles just through 1 or 2 mag dumps

because my M5 runs out eventually

[olive iron]

I need free bf2042 modes

[jovial jay]

If you get a good squad then the rorsch vehicle nerf wouldnt be too bad

[wild marlin]

and it's probably gonna be even easier to get vehicles critical with the new javelin

[jovial jay]

Talking about soflam btw

Idiots in my game seems like they dont even care about soflam-ed target

[wild marlin]

if you're not using the high capacitor the rorsch nerf is void anyways

[remote kiln]

its genuinely funny how underused the soflam is

[wild marlin]

which is why I wanted it to be recon class gadget

in place of the insertion beacon

but 1 soflam is a good as 20

that's counteracted by promotion of squad diversity

it's only useless if everyone is a recon

[jovial jay]

Like I Soflamed this annoying nightbird that's been shooting them down, and NONE of them tried to shoot it down

[remote kiln]

honestly even if it replaced the gadget, people probably still wouldnt use it

its not very fun sitting on a hill marking enemies for points

[jovial jay]

Must be because my lobby is like 60% bots

[wild marlin]

I can't vouch for that

every time I play Recon

soflam is coming out

[olive iron]

Remove ps plus

[remote kiln]

thats you though

[wild marlin]

like it spots everything automatically out to 500m

[remote kiln]

even in 3/4 on caspian tower the only people using soflam were javelin squads

[olive iron]

Cod mw2 is so much better than this shit it has free mode

[remote kiln]

cool story bud

[jovial jay]

Pretty much, anything that require teamwork to work in BF games are simply unreliable lol

How hard is it to just... Switch to your rocket launcher and shoot the damn heli

[wild marlin]

dude I just want laser designation to be mainstream again

people complain about vehicles because they don't know how to fight them

back in the old days of bf4

you simply had 2 people

in order to ruin the armors day

[jovial jay]

For real

[wild marlin]

a recon with a PLD or soflam

[ebon pilot]

i'm not carrying one

[wild marlin]

and an engineer with a javelin

[jovial jay]

2042 had it better in term of infanty against vehicle

[mossy badge]

💯

[jovial jay]

In bf1 only assault is well armed against them

[hexed mango]

again, this doesnt mean making soflam the class gadget for recon
but having it be selected as the open gadget is better.
because, again, soflam on every recon gets redundant fast

[jovial jay]

Limpet is way too risky with shid range

Now you have locked on launcher

[remote kiln]

i just dont think its really that engaging

[hexed mango]

having more soflam presence is great, yes, but its not the best for the class gadget

[wild marlin]

that works off the assumption everyone is a recon at once

[remote kiln]

forcing people doesnt change it either

[hexed mango]

works off the assumption that there are more than 1 recon

[remote kiln]

it worked in 3 and 4 because of massive vertical positioning, but thats the exception in 2042

[wild marlin]

like even right now, having 5 recons for a match is too much

1 recon with half a mind towards spotting can keep the entire enemy team with a red dot above their head

[hexed mango]

not really... i see a lot of paik players, and usually in bt there's a handful of casper drones

[remote kiln]

the skybox was shit aswell in those compared to 2042

[hexed mango]

plus with S4's specialist being recon, there is 100% gonna be increased focus on recon

[wild marlin]

70% of players I encounter are playing Mackay and falck, and are 1 track minded fraglords

with 0 anti vehicle utility

[radiant prism]

I feel like I get a healthy mix of specialists

[wild marlin]

and that's why vehicles are op in this game

[royal swan]

[jovial jay]

Also constant SOFLAM contributor is a huge bonus to jet

Since air to ground jet can benefit from it

[mental bloom]

hi guys, was wondering if there's any way to fix the slow motion bug
tried to fix it following some steps from a forum and it didn't work

[jovial jay]

They cant lock onto flying target without the help of soflam

[tacit sorrel]

Ground vehicles aren’t that good

[wild marlin]

which would be the case if people picked it more, but no people rather have their tugs or c4 🤓

disagree

[royal swan]

Should be more soflam in the future

[wild marlin]

it's gonna be the opposite

[royal swan]

With the restricted equipment and all

[wild marlin]

you're gonna see less

soflam

[jovial jay]

I remember this one awesome match where I play jet with another and denied the enemy's vehicles with this guy doing soflam on everything

[royal swan]

Nah

[hexed mango]

idk, i dont encounter a 70% ratio of mackay and falck, assuming even, that's 35% of all players playing each, and that's a little less than 23 people (in a 64 BT round) playing only mackay and only falck. for a total of 45 people per 64p team playing falck and mackay.

which, is just incorrect. I see a health amount of sundance, zain, angel, and paik players, a number that I assume makes up more than the remaining 30% because of the amount of players I see playing then.

I dont even play mackay of falck... i play zain, sundance, dozer, lis and rao

[wild marlin]

you are

[chilly jacinth]

youre gonna have to pay me to use soflam

[hexed mango]

doubt it

[remote kiln]

honestly, it could be pretty easily fixed by putting soflam back into the 4th gunner slot in tanks

whether thats good for balance is another story

[jovial jay]

Would anyone use it tho

Since it doesnt actively kill

[remote kiln]

a lot more than people using it now

[hexed mango]

seeing that recon is still a pretty popular class, and yeah not everyone playing recon is gonna choose soflam, but if you just use basic probability, there will be at least 1 per match if you see more than 5-6 recon (remember recon is anyone playing paik, rao or capser (and the s4 guy))

[royal swan]

Yeah I use it

[hexed mango]

that would be epic

[chilly jacinth]

would be better than the damn spotting scope

on the tank

[hexed mango]

fr

spotter seat needs to be eradicated

[jovial jay]

Cool, well I prefer players who actually use utilities like that

[chilly jacinth]

useless garbage

[remote kiln]

to be honest, i think the spot is very underrated

[wild marlin]

smh it's almost like they aren't adding claymore, tracer dart gun, and tugs

[chilly jacinth]

you can spot in the other seats

so its useless

[jovial jay]

Or maybe soflam for casper drone? With a much slower recharge rate ofc

[remote kiln]

being able to scan 30m in a circular radius around the tank is kinda insane, and for a mediocre reload time

[royal swan]

Claymores will be overated in 2042 despite what people say

[wild marlin]

and the prox sensor all in the same slot 😭

[jovial jay]

Just add Locker-ish stuff in 2042

[hexed mango]

yeah and the thing is, tugs is just a better proxy ball (so nobody will use proxy ball)
very few people will use claymore due to how case-specific it is
tracer dart is just soflam but you shoot.

so, you should be happy they are adding tracer dart

[wild marlin]

I simply do not see a future where soflam is prevelant

and I'm its biggest fan

[remote kiln]

it'd be an interesting experiment to give soflam to the helicopter gunner

think it could work sorta well, but big if

[wild marlin]

or the spotter seat 😳

maybe it'll be useful then

[jovial jay]

That team who soflam air target for me while I was using air to ground jet was probably super rare to get huh

[wild marlin]

best thing about laser designation

[arctic grove]

yeah, i dont know how the spotter seat cant paint targets

[wild marlin]

it makes missile selection irrelevant

[jovial jay]

What are the chances of getting that anyway, beside squad up ofc

[arctic grove]

id also like to see some stats for vehicle weapons when switching them out

[remote kiln]

they used to be able to, the thing is, it pairs with guided lock on for the main MBT gunner a bit.. too well

[arctic grove]

knowing your DPS would be great

[hexed mango]

ok let me explain:

Recon has the following: T-UGS, Tracer Dart Gun, M18 Claymore, C5 Explosive, Prox Sensor, SOFLAM Designator

Tracer Dart and Soflam basically have the same outcome, hence, anyone using either of those two (33% of the gadgets) will be able to provide the outcome that soflam provides
Obviously, for a paik player, C5 is a more likely choice, but for anyone playing rao and probably casper, soflam and tracer, as well as probably tugs and proxy are much more likely choices

Rao is anti-vehicle, and it stands to reason that anyone playing him (which I do) will be more inclined to use the soflam. Even if they use tracer, it will have a similar outcome.
Paik and Casper may not always choose soflam, but there's no reason casper cant, and while paik is front lining, she might not choose it, but its still an option.

[wild marlin]

low, because all the shitter recons have 0 clue it exists

[remote kiln]

it wasnt uncommon to see a tank sitting 800m away just locking onto jets and helis with their soflam designator trying to pick off targets

[jovial jay]

Too busy sniping only to miss

[arctic grove]

unless you miss with the tracer dart, soflam seems better

[wild marlin]

preach

[remote kiln]

i dont think it would as oppressive in 2042, but it would be possible

[wild marlin]

people are gonna be rocking javelins pretty soon

so Crawford's are gonna be everywhere

I bet it's gonna be like bf4 where laser designation enables top attack mode on javelin

IIRC it increased the damage of the rocket

[remote kiln]

i still want the jdam to return tbh

[wild marlin]

^

[wild marlin]

yeah but it has to be like a field pickup situation

[arctic grove]

paik would be best with the spawn beacon. her use of the BSV and her close quarters recon scan make her perfect for quiet infiltration and dropping a beacon for the rest of the squad to get behind enemy lines

[wild marlin]

like the drone on Arica

[hexed mango]

uav is funi

[remote kiln]

nah nah

[hexed mango]

all recons have the spawn beacon- its the class gadget

[wild marlin]

yes except in her open slot

[remote kiln]

equippable weapon in place of the heat seekers

[plain needle]

I just popped the fuck off holy hell

[remote kiln]

field pickup doesnt work with jets

[hexed mango]

nice

[arctic grove]

im aware.

[hexed mango]

gotcha

[plain needle]

Conquest > breakthrough

[remote kiln]

most agree

[hexed mango]

i dont

;)

[plain needle]

👀

[arctic grove]

im just commenting on her use as a frontline recon, and how the beacon will likely be her best class gear option for the team meta

[hexed mango]

ah, i see

[mental bloom]

do any of you guys know if there's a fix for the slow motion bug?

[hexed mango]

unsure what the bug even is

[mental bloom]

i can log in to a match just fine but my character and it's animations are in slow motion, while the rest of the players appear to be fine

[hexed mango]

on pc?

[mental bloom]

i've tried everything from playing the game in low graphics to updating drivers and nothing's worked

[mental bloom]

laptop, yeah

[hexed mango]

what's your cpu

[wild marlin]

like it's fine if recons have the insertion, I just don't think it should be the class gadget 😭

[arctic grove]

seems balanced to me because air units can laser target tanks

[wild marlin]

like literally anything else besides that

bro tugs as class gadget 😳

[hexed mango]

i think spawn beacon is the best choice for class gadget

[wild marlin]

makes sense ngl

[hexed mango]

seeing, again, how poor the spawns are in this game

[lunar finch]

now this... this is balanced.

[mental bloom]

i5-11260
nvidia 3050
256gb ssd

[hexed mango]

and i mean free xp

[hexed mango]

average zain performance

[lunar finch]

zain is so brainless like i love it

[wild marlin]

I mean, when you're fighting feeders 😂.....

every character seems op

[lunar finch]

playing zain has made me despise trophy systems though

[remote kiln]

why are they all sitting in there

[wild marlin]

rightfully so

[lunar finch]

its BT i wish i knew

[hexed mango]

interesting... personally i dont know what could be causing it, but i dont think it hurts to contact support and/or check the forums out
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-2042/ct-p/battlefield-2042-en
https://help.ea.com/en/

[wild marlin]

like if I saw a bunch of people getting blown up in 1 spot, maybe don't go there 🤯

[mental bloom]

yeah i'll try to contact ea

[wild marlin]

ikik, my genius is crazy sometimes

[mental bloom]

if not i'll just refund

[hexed mango]

it isnt

[remote kiln]

slow motion only occurs on massive latency penalties

that hardware defo isnt helping

[lunar finch]

hey man not everyone can have gamesense

[wild marlin]

I just wish I was in that match w u 😢

[plain needle]

Sundance is such cheese bro

[wild marlin]

woulda had a whole nother digit to my KD

[plain needle]

Personally I main falack

[wild marlin]

pretty based ngl

respectable

[lunar finch]

lmao

[plain needle]

I was maiming angel but falck has more survivability

[wild marlin]

ur running health crate on angel right

[plain needle]

I believe I run ammo

[lunar finch]

why

[wild marlin]

fam

that's throwing

fix that

[plain needle]

How

[lunar finch]

use med crate

[plain needle]

Nobody throws ammo crates

[wild marlin]

because his ability is literally ammo lmao

have you tried pressing your specialist gadget button?

[plain needle]

Yes but for people that use smokes and shit, ammunition crates are vital

[wild marlin]

cuz its literally ammo

[lunar finch]

complete opposite i see no one throw med crates but i mean i play Zain and Mackay, idk what teamwork is

[wild marlin]

drop a loadout crate and refill people's entire loadouts 💀

[plain needle]

OH FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT THAT

[wild marlin]

bros been throwing 💀

like the question now is. what does Irish use in his open slot? 🧐🧐

once again med crate 😃😃😃

cuz ammo drops from kills are a thing

and getting fresh Rez to 100 rocks 😳😳😍

but back to the important topics

such as Crawford needing a whole new specialist gadget 😂

[hexed mango]

yeah but ammo from kills is so little

[snow badge]

I use smoke nades 24/7 I rely entirely on people who drop ammo crates

[hexed mango]

crawford is getting a major tweak in 3.2

[snow badge]

Crawford would be immensely better already if his minigun was more accurate

[wild marlin]

it's accurate tho wdym, the issue is it's paper and has a fucking face hole 💀

and it does next to nothing to light armored vehiclds

[hexed mango]

eh its accuracy isnt the main problem but it would be nice to get a slight buff

[wild marlin]

if it was a laser beam, it would be ridiculous

[hexed mango]

it should use AP ammo, and should get an armor buff

[snow badge]

I don’t feel like it’s accurate at all beyond ten meters

[white sparrow]

then run ammo box urself and its solved

[wild marlin]

you'd be mapping people at 200+ meters

[snow badge]

I have to hold onto the trigger until it’s almost overheated for it to hit anything

[wild marlin]

have you tried holding down the firing button 😳

[snow badge]

I use med pen or smoke gl

[white sparrow]

i always run falck with ammo box so i can stay in fight longer without relying on others cuz most teammates dont know how to help others

[snow badge]

I main dozer so I have to

[snow badge]

Have you tried getting bitches

[wild marlin]

who said anything about trying 😂

[white sparrow]

thats your issues then, until you change your relying on others, maybe try getting a squad together thats reliable

[snow badge]

If I remember correctly the delay on the overheat is vastly different on old and next gen

[wild marlin]

preach

[snow badge]

Show me the part where I was complaining

[limber nymph]

https://youtube.com/shorts/g7YyXViCdw0?feature=share

[white sparrow]

didnt say you were lmao

[snow badge]

You said that’s my issue as if I had one lol

[wild marlin]

Bro definitely looks like his pfp 💀

[white sparrow]

just saw u saying you had a problem in game i gave my solution to no need to get hostile

[snow badge]

I’m just saying I rely on people who drop ammo crates, aka people who actually help their team

[royal swan]

Yoo, is this a skill issue?

[wild marlin]

😳😳😳😳

[white sparrow]

im saying 80% of players are not gonna help you lol

[snow badge]

Hoping the class system encourages people to drop ammo crates more often because currently everyone and their momma runs the m5

[white sparrow]

they used to back in the bfbc2 bf3,bf4 days but not anymore

[dapper river]

spoiler: it'll be the same as all previous battlefields (nobody is dropping SHIT unless it's at a chokepoint)

[snow badge]

Can’t disagree lol

Just remove Boris and this game is perfect

[wild marlin]

'so yeah let's like change the engineer proficiency back to reloading utility weapons faster thanks' 🙂🙂😇

[white sparrow]

im the opposite i always am helping cuz i know how it feels to be pinned down with 1 clip or low ammo lol

low health*

[lunar finch]

me using assault and using armor plates

[royal swan]

Shotgun

[lunar finch]

my contribution to my team is my presence

[snow badge]

Do you feel like they actually help

[wild marlin]

more like rorsch but ok 😂

[snow badge]

I don’t think I’ve used them more than once or twice

[lunar finch]

yeah theyve saved my life a lot

[white sparrow]

armor plates help a lot but not as helpful as medsticks lol

[lunar finch]

well im playing zain atm so i dont need med pens

[snow badge]

With the map design being what it is I feel like I get more out of medpens since I’m constantly being shot at by bushcampers from 300 miles away

Ah I see fair enough

[royal swan]

They probably nerf that shit again

I can still beam people

[lunar finch]

and i pretty much only play BT so i dont really get shot at from dumb places

[wild marlin]

they would literally fix the gun if they just removed the 6x 😂

[royal swan]

Tru

[wild marlin]

like literally the sniper configuration is the issue with that fucking thing

[white sparrow]

play rush or tdm for smaller gamemodes where u cant be sniped that far

[wild marlin]

no one complains about the auto or burst mode

[white sparrow]

thats what i do cuz im an infantry player

[snow badge]

I like the freedom of conquest

[white sparrow]

or do infantry breakthrough

[snow badge]

It just kinda sucks sometimes because of the chopper spam and half your team camping in bushes with casper or boris

[lunar finch]

yeah i dont know how any infantry player plays conquest that shit is atrocious

[snow badge]

Easier to flank on conquest

[wild marlin]

like it's clear that so many ppl have no clue what it's like to have all their roles covered in a squad

[white sparrow]

i totally agree the snipers in conquest with the helis and tanks are not fun lol

[hexed mango]

if anyone needs to get the "Shoulder fired rocket damage" weekly done, I suggest playing the Tank Superiority mode, but spawn in as Lis

[lunar finch]

comquest is so boring though

[lunar finch]

i just completed it on BT damn

[royal swan]

I got it via the 1942 mode

Shit was fun

[snow badge]

I just hate defending in BT so I don’t play it much

[royal swan]

And less annoying to actually do the mission

[white sparrow]

i find smaller gamemodes to be more competitive too, thats why i enjoy rush

[wild marlin]

kaleidoscope c2 😬😬😬

[snow badge]

BT is the best to get t1s done though

[royal swan]

Defending is fun if you aren't ass or have an ass team

[royal swan]

Pain

[wild marlin]

sucks you only have control over 1 of those things

[snow badge]

Kaleidoscope is such a missed opportunity

[royal swan]

C2 kaleidoscope needs to be worked on

[lunar finch]

all the bp missions this season have been really annoying tbh

[royal swan]

Or make the building collapse

[wild marlin]

fr tho what happened to levelution 😭😭😭😭

[snow badge]

Could’ve had a Dawnbreaker or Hardline Downtown 2.0 but instead we got huge open fields and weird architectural structures

[royal swan]

Well I don't think about it too much and I casual finish them all

[wild marlin]

bring that shit back

[white sparrow]

when i know im outnumbered and the other team has better skill i just play for kills and to anger them by holding angles and headglitches.

had to do that quite a bit in rush

[lunar finch]

theyve just been so tedious, like i still cant figure out wtf a defensive kill is. only challenge i havent completed

[plain needle]

I believe it’s defending an obj kill

[white sparrow]

being on an objective i think is defensive

[plain needle]

I completed that last game like 5 mins ago

[lunar finch]

i did that and it didnt track

[plain needle]

Wtf

[snow badge]

Buff the soflam on god

[wild marlin]

next update will add the tactical marmot 😳😳😳

perhaps even the tactical perro 🐕

[snow badge]

Tactical 2042 rat

[plain needle]

And the javelin

[wild marlin]

^^^

[plain needle]

Cant fucking wait for that

[wild marlin]

tactical orange cat 🐈

[snow badge]

Give a cat skin to the ranger bot

[wild marlin]

1 shots a tank if it lands

it gets inside the tank and scratches everyone

[plain needle]

TOR campers are gonna be pressed

[wild marlin]

thus disabling the tank

[royal swan]

Kill people on the objective that you control

[wild marlin]

and then it commandeers the tank and drives it back to your spawn

[plain needle]

[wild marlin]

🐈 🏆🏆🏆😤

[plain needle]

[royal swan]

[plain needle]

[wild marlin]

tactical worm 🐛🪱 😳

[plain needle]

Tank campers when they get 5 javelin locks at once:

[lunar finch]

ok now that im conquest its tracking. it was not working on bt at all

[wild marlin]

watch a well timed aps stop them all 😭😭😭

[plain needle]

I’d cry

[wild marlin]

I'm pretty sure those rockets are designed to defeat APS so idk

😶😶😶

[plain needle]

They’re fucking heavy IRL you ever had to carry one?

They weigh like 90 lbs

[void gorge]

when you are going to play 2042 does it happen that you leave a game and the next one falls on the same map? I play in the main conquest and it's pretty boring it gets to be annoying in this part of rotation bf 4 and 5 are great

[plain needle]

No persistent servers plus no server browser = your mad

[wild marlin]

that's not terrible, most guys can overhead press that

[hexed mango]

"dead game"

[solar obsidian]

ask way, might be some console issue

[plain needle]

Yea but running around with that bitch or doing a 10k movement is literal pain

[wild marlin]

bro I didn't do my cardio 😳😳😭😭💀💀

[solar obsidian]

suddenly gym thread

can we talk about arsenals match next ?

[plain needle]

I was infantry in the US army and when I went to NTC (national trainjng center) in cali I was a javelin team, shit was cheeks

Regardless it’s funny to see an ingame characters do it

[wild marlin]

sure, let's talk about the stupid ttk in that game and all the sweatlords

[solar obsidian]

10/10 mood today

[wild marlin]

so yeah, maybe like support proficiency for lmgs maybe

[hexed mango]

idiot teammate in a tank drove into a group of 5 enemy tanks

[wild marlin]

that'd be nice

[plain needle]

[solar obsidian]

you made the mistake of not bailing

[hexed mango]

i did

but i got killed by the tanks

[plain needle]

Skill issue

Nah but fr the javelin will help with that hopefully

Vehicle whores are such a nuisance

[wild marlin]

we're creaming ourselves over that rocket launcher 💀

[solar obsidian]

all them name calling because some have a specific playstyle

[plain needle]

DUDE because all we have is the fucking carl gustav

And to get a lock you need a soflam team

[hexed mango]

im also only a lis with a ntw so..

[solar obsidian]

good players adapt to the challenge

[snow badge]

Transport chopper pilots on their way to crash the heli into a mountain five seconds into the round:

[solar obsidian]

i was the second, but got all my attachments so

[wild marlin]

based, he knows about the Carl Gustav

[plain needle]

I was army infantry, ofc I know about it

[solar obsidian]

i miss super overpowered rpgs

[snow badge]

Bruh I just want the rpg 7 in aow

[plain needle]

That would be cancer

[snow badge]

Gimme that afghan rebel typeshit

[solar obsidian]

i want a tactical nuke

the redeemer

[hexed mango]

i killed a tank with my repair tool

[snow badge]

Balaclava ak47 and sandals

[arctic grove]

I want my gunship back

[solar obsidian]

"i will obey"

[plain needle]

And I want commander mode back

[solar obsidian]

"i will work"

[arctic grove]

same

[solar obsidian]

https://youtu.be/yAVjsRmGDlo?list=PLU8h948kT_dqE4ksOEabYSFAOZv6jyI7P

[snow badge]

This man enjoys staring at a map for 2 hours

[solar obsidian]

imagine generals releasing in 2023

[arctic grove]

more like sucking at the game

[plain needle]

Supply drops and UAV’s go dumb

[arctic grove]

and missile

[snow badge]

They need to port hardline shit to portal

[arctic grove]

dropped it in it where it controls that system

completely retaliation

[solar obsidian]

pretty sure there are more players hoping for battlefield heroes stuff

[snow badge]

Fuck them

I hate them

[arctic grove]

fuck them

[snow badge]

Hardline was the best bf

[plain needle]

Wtf is battlefield hero’s

[arctic grove]

they should go play siege and valorant Instead

[radiant prism]

An old game

[plain needle]

Sounds cringe

[solar obsidian]

you remember when free to play games in browsers was the shit 12 years ago ?

thats battlefield heroes

[plain needle]

Yea ?

Oh wtf

[solar obsidian]

https://youtu.be/5UZUBoFMOdY

[plain needle]

Oh dear, I just watched 30 seconds of that and almost offed myself

[solar obsidian]

😄

[radiant prism]

I mean I don't think it was ever meant to be a mainline BF game

It was back when games did a lot more offshoot material like that with IPs

Its a relic of the past

[plain needle]

Thank fucking god

Brööther

They’re back capping E1

[snow badge]

Why do people want that game to be brought to portal

[plain needle]

Literally

[solar obsidian]

no it was made just to get some of the pay to win money everybody was giving a shot at

[plain needle]

[solar obsidian]

now phones just became the place to do this shit without any concerns

[solar obsidian]

they dont, the sarcasm is through the roof

what i find most surprising though,

is nobody talks about modern combat

[plain needle]

What about modern combat though?

[solar obsidian]

are there really zero map worth from there?

[upper socket]

Is it worth coning back havent played in a long time

[plain needle]

Yes

[radiant prism]

What about Hardline? It would provide the most unique content to portal

[upper socket]

Oki

[solar obsidian]

no that would be 2142 actually

[radiant prism]

Either one tbh

[plain needle]

Bro I fucking hate the people that haven’t touched this game since the beta, join the discord and are like “is the game good now” like bro

Wyd

[solar obsidian]

or secret weapons of world war 2

jet pack ❤️

[plain needle]

I remember that expansion

It was for 2142 right

[hexed mango]

fr 1942 jet pack please

[solar obsidian]

1942

[plain needle]

I’m thinking of the mechs

In 2142

[upper socket]

They should add the char 2c

Ww1 supa tank

[plain needle]

You should look into this game’s development and see what’s changed

[arctic grove]

titan and carrier assault when

[plain needle]

Because nobody does that and are just like “hur dur game still bad”

[hexed mango]

"You're beautiful"

• lis

[drowsy shuttle]

"i know"
-me

[plain needle]

“Don’t be sad, that’s just how it works out sometimes” -angel

“I’m proud”-paik

Specialist voice lines were so fucking cringe oml

Like bro proud of what? No clipping through the map and having your shots not hit half the time?

Early 2042 was rough

[hexed mango]

"today, today im proud"

[plain needle]

Yea that

Made me wanna eat a Popeyes biscuit with no drink when I heard it the first time

[hexed mango]

very detailed

[plain needle]

Better than saying I wanted to take a toaster bath

[hexed mango]

i havent eaten all day

[plain needle]

I’ve been eating all day

[hexed mango]

but i'd rather play 2042 and watch the football game

[plain needle]

Wait who’s playing td?

I’m too lazy to look it up

[upper socket]

Ima just play as an aggro sniper

[plain needle]

Svk will help with that

[upper socket]

Nah ima use the dxr so i can one shot at close range without taking years

[plain needle]

That works too

[upper socket]

Would use the ntw but ya know its slow

[plain needle]

It’s literally an anti material rifle, ofc it’s gonna be slow

[upper socket]

It basiclly anti nothing cuz it dont destroy shit

[plain needle]

Dev pls buff ntw

[ivory canopy]

I have T1 badge with NTW

[upper socket]

Agreed

[ivory canopy]

You can snipe with it if you're good

[plain needle]

I’d rather go blind

Imagine if they added flashbangs to aow

[ivory canopy]

The weird thing is that the heavier ammunition has less bullet drop.

[plain needle]

Stronger round, higher velocity

[ivory canopy]

But that makes it better for sniping compared to the starting ammo

[plain needle]

Yes I know

[arctic grove]

There is

[plain needle]

That’s the concussion grenade

[arctic grove]

Curious but what would the difference be?

[upper socket]

Dows the sws still one shot

[plain needle]

Flash bang makes you blind, concussion grenade disorients and slows you down

[spiral folio]

plaace bets bets bets 20s

will mm fail

aaand MM FAILS take a drink

[plain needle]

You ever heard of a 9-bang before?

[arctic grove]

Oh I see

[arctic grove]

Ye, isn’t that the amount of times it flashes

[plain needle]

Yep

[spiral folio]

9 bang?

[plain needle]

Ready or not has them

Yea

[plain needle]

A flash bang that goes boom 9 times

[spiral folio]

ah i mean i don't use them a whole lot so I'm not really in the market

1 is usually enough for deer or home defense

[plain needle]

Man’s is flash banging deer

[upper socket]

Do yall think aggro sniping is fun

[spiral folio]

is that something people do

[plain needle]

It was in previous games, most shitter recon’s that I see are literally in the back of the map

Bf1 in my eyes was the best for aggressive sniping

[spiral folio]

well with how great the score list is you can score 0 and still be helping the team

[arctic grove]

You can maybe 1 shot with the snipers in a certain range and if it’s upper body

[plain needle]

Snipers that try to hit over 1k m shots are literally useless

[spiral folio]

I've killed the pilot from a condor from 1000m

so

seat

[plain needle]

I saw one the other day and it made my blood boil

[still vault]

Imo. the good recons (not snipers) are the ones that flank, provide good spawn points, help take bases and don't just sit in the same useless spot not PTFOing

[spiral folio]

maybe you don't know everything, I'm sure a lot don't do much but it depends what people are doing

[plain needle]

Exactly this

[spiral folio]

if a recons in a flag, he should play assault

[still vault]

https://tenor.com/view/simpsons-wrong-answer-homer-red-button-gif-10856212

[spiral folio]

best answer

[plain needle]

Not necessarily that but being able to help your team manuver and provide overwatch make you a good recon

[spiral folio]

clearly you want slow rifles and large scopes so you can be exactly up the enemy's 4th point of contact

[still vault]

that's why secondary weapons and throwing knives are there

[spiral folio]

gross

[plain needle]

Not just being prone under a tree all game trying to hit a cross map shot on the top of A1 on orbital

Cus I saw that and it pissed me off so much I started spamming smokes on this guy

Dude couldn’t see shit after that

[arctic grove]

I mean I wouldn’t do all that

[plain needle]

And then I dropped a loadout crate on him

[arctic grove]

If that’s how someone chooses to enjoy playing just leave them to it

[chilly dove]

looks like we'll be able to replicate 3.1.2 post update. we're saved!

[arctic grove]

One guy I saw doing it that started getting fucked with said something about he had a long day at work so

[plain needle]

We all have long days at work boo hoo

[upper socket]

Team work is much better than it was

[plain needle]

It’s gonna be even better (hopefully) once 3.2 drops

Although I wonder if the claymores damage is gone be directly forward or 360 degrees like in previous games

[hexed mango]

BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fucking AI keep walking in front of my rockets

as i shoot them

[spiral folio]

people do it too

[plain needle]

So did the devs ever give a reason why implementing a server browser isn’t possible or were they just like “yea this game will always have players, it’s fine”

Because if I have to play hourglass one more time

[hexed mango]

they did not

[plain needle]

I will simply play a different battlefield

[hexed mango]

im happy playing the featured gamemodes most of the time, just wish theyd stop giving us infantry bt instead of seasons bt or escalation bt

or at the veryf ucking least give me a map filter

[plain needle]

Average bt player :

[hexed mango]

we dont even get civilian vehicles in infantry bt

its so one sided for defense as well

[plain needle]

Those are valid concerns tho, map filter, persistent servers and a server browser would help this game a lot

[hexed mango]

shit gamemode

[arctic grove]

It’s especially stupid because having a system matchmake for me is gonna fuck the game when live support ends

Nobody’s gonna know what they can play

[plain needle]

EXACTLY

[arctic grove]

All they said was it’s “not something they’re looking into” and also shared nothing about console KBM support

why would you release a cross platform game and not give console players KBM support

[plain needle]

Makes 0 sense

[arctic grove]

1 week left im guessing till 3.2 if they still plan on "the end of the month"

[plain needle]

24th or the 31st

[arctic grove]

ye most likley

[royal trail]

its hilarious how the game sometimes say that we got superiority make sure to maintain it when you got like 20 tickets left and is about to lose

[arctic grove]

lol

[plain needle]

The game be a little dumb like that sometimes

[arctic grove]

id be like "bruh, wrong voice line"

[royal trail]

its because we manage to take a majority of sectors just at the end, but still... hows that superiority

[arctic grove]

Map voting, AOW server browser and persistent lobbies would help longevity of the game and the matchmaking experience so much

ya idk why they dident have map voting in 2042

im all for it but im just hoping the class system works out for now

Same

Class system is some good progress

legit i expect my game to not launch after 3.2 update xD

I’d like y2 to be 4 seasons so we can also hopefully backtrack to some other important features as well

i missed some character cosmetics but

lets hope S4 has a good battlepass

[hexed mango]

idk map voting can get tricky sometimes... like people really wanting to play the shittiest maps (my experience from bf1)

[hexed mango]

so far its only s5

i think if they wanted s6 they would announce it after 3.2 or when s4 starts, but i doubt it

[arctic grove]

I feel like any further news may come later

We weren’t even halfway through S3 when they confirmed we’d see a smidgeon of anything after Y1

[hexed mango]

they confirmed post s4 content at the end of s2

in the end-of-season dev update they said that they plan to have post-s4 content
but then during s3 they updated that to s5

with a new map, new guns, new vehicles, etc but no new specialist

[half shoal]

what channel do is use to report a bug ?

[errant scarab]

dio!

[arctic grove]

[errant scarab]

hi how are u

[arctic grove]

Doing good man, you?

[errant scarab]

installing reshade, is it legal?

[arctic grove]

I’m not sure at all, I mean I had to Google what that was yesterday and it seems like it just makes the game look a bit different

[errant scarab]

It is something like filters to improve lighting

[arctic grove]

There isn’t one here but you can technically (when they’re active in chat) ping and tell ea staff about it

But you should go to the ea forums most of the time

[arctic grove]

Yeh i personally don’t know, play on console so I was like yesterday years old learning what it was anyways

[half shoal]

they should use threads here (like most games do) and it will be much easier to report

[wild marlin]

alright so let's talk about how the ram should have the mortar pod 🙂

[arctic grove]

Yeah hopefully it does, I think that is the only factor that may save Battlefield fan base atm,

[arctic grove]

I used to be very excited for S3 but we ended up with most useless contents for a Battlefield game, except the map

[half shoal]

they like to make it harder 😅

[arctic grove]

It would’ve helped if a “milsim” option also came to the game for players who don’t want to play one of the specialists

[arctic grove]

They probably just check ea forums more but it would be nice I agree

[wild marlin]

I think that 16 specialists would be based

[tough folio]

LMAO why is it when i play stranded deep and go back to 2042 the game feels hella smooth, almost to smooth, feel like they did a performance update

[little flicker]

anyone know any good servers to complete weapon unlock challenges?

[median tusk]

they did

[tough folio]

when?

[median tusk]

a while back around when season 3 launched

[tough folio]

nah i meant overnight lol, but that would be funny considering i stayed up til 6

[wild marlin]

what's this I hear about maxiq using a "Cronus"

what is that

[tough folio]

is a controller macro

[wild marlin]

oh so he's a shitter

got it 👍

like I'm looking at his latest video right

[idle lion]

So he gets controller recoil on mouse

[wild marlin]

dudes got no recoil

perfect tracking

and he's playing with console shitters on a mouse and keyboard

maxiqmum grease

[rocky kraken]

i just hope they dont just stop support after season 5

and continue with updates

[hexed mango]

dont we all

[rocky kraken]

but

[median tusk]

they might

[rocky kraken]

they suprised us with s5

so

maybe s6-9?

[hexed mango]

dunno about 9, but hopefully to S8

[white geyser]

I’ll wait for season 5 update after season 4, need something I’m looking for

[wild marlin]

why doesn't dice know what a roadmap is 💀💀

[hexed mango]

they did for S1

dunno why they stopped making them

[wild marlin]

ok and they forgot already??

[hexed mango]

actualy thats a lie they do have a roadmap

[wild marlin]

still idk why stop at 14 specialists

like who thought "hmm yes uneven amount of specialists for every class" 🤓

[quaint vector]

You are complaining so much..

[spiral folio]

i vote death

[hexed mango]

who doesnt

[wild marlin]

ok and 😊

[quaint vector]

[arctic grove]

this channel is full of people compaining instead of giving constructive feed back

24/7

[quaint vector]

Last days... Yeah

[arctic grove]

It’s got a lot better tbh

It used to be so fucking toxic in here

Is there any way to fix blurriness with lower resolution?

i mean i ant unhappy with 2042, and im all for the classes coming back

[arctic grove]

yikes, glad its improved

[pine roost]

the lcmg is an absolute beam right now

[pine roost]

TAA for you

[arctic grove]

There was so many rose tinted glasses takes and quipping the newest thing the subreddit came up with

heh

[arctic grove]

Anti Aliasing?

Is it me or does portal have a hardcore plague problem, bc all I would always see when I enter portal is hardcore servers

125% damage honestly isn’t too bad. I played that once and liked the slightly more tactical feel of it

But yea

[pine roost]

yup. You can't turn it off so on all resolutions, especially lower ones, it'll look bad

[arctic grove]

There’s a lot of those hardcore servers

I always see 1000% damage servers

[arctic grove]

I set to High thats good?

[pine roost]

it might look slightly better but in a perfect world you'd be able to toggle it off

[rocky kraken]

they might as well go full in on 1942

considering how many guns they have added for it

[pine roost]

but it's stuck like that for some technical reasons I can't recall because it was too complicated

[wild marlin]

I feel like maps with double heavy armor is pretty cringe

especially with only 1 light armor

[arctic grove]

2 tonks?

[wild marlin]

yeah IIRC there's maps with 2 heavy 1 light

[pine roost]

the engineers, do they get a flat out accuracy increase for lmgs or just with the bipod?

[tough folio]

why the hell is breakthrough so sweaty today

[wild marlin]

crouch or prone for better bloom

[pine roost]

well the lcmg is going to be busted then

crouching reduces it by default, and with engies even more

it's already got super tight spread

[wild marlin]

nono, the recoil is the same

[hexed mango]

i love geting roadkilled by a vehicle that I am standing on top of

physics applies to this game

[pine roost]

recoil is non existent
well the only important recoil is horizontal

[wild marlin]

but honestly tho, the engineer proficiency with lmgs is kinda cringe imo

larpers keep saying it belongs to support

[pine roost]

it belonging to support makes even less sense

oh man the p51 feels SO much better after this fix

[wild marlin]

well traditionally, fire support weapons such as lmgs have been exclusive to the support class

[hexed mango]

true but the support in this game is basically medic+support
but yeah idk engineer should get smg cause that's pdw-ish

[pine roost]

but the support class isn't the same support class as we used to have, that makes all the difference. Medics fit in as front line support units, that's why they've had close range guns before. Squishing both rolls into one kind of muddles that

[hexed mango]

thats what i was tryna say

[pine roost]

you can't get any spread reducing attachments for the p51 can you?

apparently not

[hexed mango]

laser

oh nvm

read that wrong

there are some barrels

tac comp

[pine roost]

oh it actually does have attachments

they didnt show the first time

[wild marlin]

tac comp makes it kick more

[hexed mango]

barely

change is minimal

[pine roost]

gordon bennet this thing becomes a beast with the compensator thing

[hexed mango]

its much better balance than the warhawk comp

[pine roost]

as is with bf4, I always go accuracy over anything, unless it needs horiztonal recoil reduction

feels pretty decent with that

[snow badge]

average day in kentucky

[tough folio]

headshots would be preferable

[hexed mango]

some medic in my game was butthurt that i did more revives than them, and at the end of the round (we lost) they said "too much reviving, not enough capturing"

we had the same amount of objectives captured (2)

[pine roost]

hypocrite

[calm bison]

Isn’t there something about like “the more medics your team has the more likely you’ll win”

[hexed mango]

which obviously this guy didnt get

[tough folio]

love how my team are complete idiots and give the enemy are attack heli, while not doing any aa

[calm bison]

It seems like whenever your team sucks in the sky your team doesn’t use AA

But whenever the enemy’s Air Force sucks they use AA all the goddamn time

[pine roost]

The smol tank and the wildcat are in the same category aren’t they?

[hexed mango]

the ram?

[pine roost]

I forget what it’s called but probably that

[hexed mango]

ELBC Ram and Wildcat are in the same category "Light Armor"

[unkempt tartan]

Wassup gang

[pine roost]

Yeah so people could choose the ram over the wildcat, leaving them without proper AA

[hexed mango]

correct

ram does have an AA missile but its mid

[pine roost]

Just like how we needed a dedicated jet slot, a dedicated AA slot would do the same thing

[silver arch]

I can't believe the railgun hasn't been nerfed at all

One shot headshot and essentially hitscan

[hexed mango]

uh

it was nerfed

but only single shot damage to vehicles

its hitscan- but it has to charge

ntw > rorsch

[visual horizon]

How are you gonna capture without reviving the teammates and keeping the flow of soldiers consistent?

Also, why does it feel like capturing objectives solo was so much easier in BFV?

Am I just bad at 2042?
probably

[pine roost]

Probably due to the number of angles you are constantly exposed to compared to bfV

Oh look, it’s the next day

[ebon pilot]

one more T down

[sharp marten]

That bloodmoon camo chefs kiss

[hexed mango]

seems pretty easy in bt

[hexed mango]

2nd easiest t1

[clever marlin]

Paik seems pretty easy compared to someone like Boris

I’ve found so far the easiest operators are mackay, falck and a tie between angel and Casper depending on the game mode

[hexed mango]

for what

to use? or for mastery?

[clever marlin]

Btw mackays mills can be done in an attack chopper

Mastery

[hexed mango]

casper is the easiest as it literally requires 0 skill

[clever marlin]

Falck: just spam med gun on the ground

Angel, same sort of thing

[hexed mango]

Mackay, falck and angel take a little bit of time and skill to complete

but are easy still

rao's also doesnt really require much skill

[clever marlin]

Mackay you can literally go into a stealth chopper and get 1200 kills in less than a week

[hexed mango]

i'd say rao is easier than mackay falck and angel

yes but you have to actually like do something lol

whereas with casper and rao you just spot people

[clever marlin]

You have to do something with the drone too

Like move it

[hexed mango]

yeah but its as easy as move your mouse

you dont have to kill anyone lol
