battlefield-2042

[cinder apex]

Does nothing smh

[wild marlin]

I really think people over estimate the 30mm cannons damage

it's really not that good 🙃

[cinder apex]

They should add jdams

[wild marlin]

I actually take a 50mm on my latv in place of a 30mm

[cinder apex]

That would be cool

[wild marlin]

nah bruh just add a moab

[cinder apex]

What's the difference

[rocky kraken]

So

[wild marlin]

blow up a whole objective no problem

[cinder apex]

I dunno

Yeah you can do that with a jdam

[rocky kraken]

Anyone have any ideas about the airstrike voice line

[wild marlin]

ones a slightly bigger explosions I guess

[cinder apex]

Oh

I think bf4s jdam is good enough

[arctic grove]

I agree listen to it now amd my hopes are up already for the class system

[wild marlin]

last I checked a Moab makes a crater 40 meters across

[rocky kraken]

Hm

Air strikes

Call in

🙂

[upbeat sand]

Just learned active protection on tanks is next update cause the podcast

[granite island]

Add bomber planes

[wild marlin]

fam where is this podcast

[granite island]

Another plane would be cool

[upbeat sand]

Spotify, apple podcasts

[wild marlin]

ppl were spreading rumors of a stealth bomber

being added in season 4

but that's pretty cringe imo

[arctic grove]

Interesting I haven't been on that part yet so tank can hold up longer nice

[cinder apex]

Add boats

Why does only noshahr canals have boats

[granite island]

God damnit

[wild marlin]

we don't need more free kill machines *😷😷 railgun tank

[granite island]

Not everything has to be stealth

[wild marlin]

ong

[granite island]

Stealth this

[wild marlin]

what happened to naval gameplay

[granite island]

Stealth that

No more

[wild marlin]

ur right bro

[cinder apex]

Naval strike best bf4 dlc ong

[wild marlin]

we need the ATTENTION GRABBING bomber

it's painted like a rainbow

and it's playing despacito the whole time

as it flies around

and it has strobe lights

[cinder apex]

And it runs off bubbles

[wild marlin]

and it drops foam everywhere

which is explosive

[arctic grove]

What's the easiest way to do takedowns?
I wanna unlock the crossbow 😅

[granite island]

Ngl 1942 portal mode with that bomber plane flying around is scary asf

[cinder apex]

Yeah

1942 mode is probably my favorite part of 2042

[wild marlin]

I hear those things are kill pinatas

[cinder apex]

Yeah they are

They fly at like 2 mph

[rocky kraken]

The water in 2042 would need to be reworked

It looks and works like ass

[cinder apex]

Fr

[wild marlin]

yeah you can't even dive in it lol

[rocky kraken]

Can’t even dive

[cinder apex]

Even hardline let you dive

[granite island]

They may fly slow but them bombs be one hit

[rocky kraken]

And swimming animation is like doggy paddling

[granite island]

And it drops like 3 to 4 bombs at once

[wild marlin]

they didn't pass their swimming training 🤣

[cinder apex]

They didn't pass anything

[arctic grove]

Do it better

[cinder apex]

Do deez

[wild marlin]

the specialists went to a range once and were like, let's go to war ☺️

[arctic grove]

Lol

[wild marlin]

but no get ready for Crawfords with javelins

no soflams

camping recons

[granite island]

Crawford but his minigun actually last more than 2 seconds

[wild marlin]

and doesn't have a face hole 💀

and does damage to light armored vehicles

[arctic grove]

Yeah his minigun is pointless just like boris now nerfed to death lol

[wild marlin]

when was it ever OP

[cinder apex]

Yeah

It was always shit

[rocky kraken]

Crawford minimum is stupid

[wild marlin]

I cannot remember a time when it was powerful

[rocky kraken]

Just like Liz tricker

Rocket

[arctic grove]

Stupid auto correct

[wild marlin]

Woah woah slow down lol

[cinder apex]

The only time it would be good is on breakthrough

And that's semi good

[wild marlin]

lis Rocket Is good

[rocky kraken]

Liz rocket is op

Op

[wild marlin]

it's not op

it's good

it's OK

[rocky kraken]

Naw bruh

When 15 Liz shoot at me

[cinder apex]

Yaw bruh

[rocky kraken]

How tf am I gonna live

[arctic grove]

It's weak it was good before but now it's weak

[wild marlin]

ok well if there's like 15 of them then yeah that's an issue

[rocky kraken]

Tank gameplay is tough with a Liz

[wild marlin]

a total of 30 rockets after you

[rocky kraken]

Actually

Any vehicle gameplay

I’d messed

[cinder apex]

Whar

[wild marlin]

but no, lis is only stupid if the player who picks her is ridiculous

[rocky kraken]

Well I think the fuel amount is absurd

[arctic grove]

🤪

[wild marlin]

you know you can shoot them right

[rocky kraken]

You can’t outrun it

[cinder apex]

When I play Liz I just 360 people

With the rocket

That's all I do

[wild marlin]

I play ram with my buddy right

and when ppl start rocking lis

we just shoot the rockets 🤣

boom, she's useless

so yeah it's kinda on you if she keeps fucking your ass

[cinder apex]

Fr

[wild marlin]

if you're in a stealth or nightbird, you can dodge it or shoot it

if you have a competent gunner on a stealth even better

so in short. lis giving you grief? transform into your own personal close-in-weapons-system ☺️

you get better with time 🙂

[hexed mango]

heyyyy dice... release 3.2

[arctic grove]

Heyyyy Zain... just wait...

[hexed mango]

never

[arctic grove]

...

They're gonna change the controller controls too

[rocky kraken]

The rocket hit reg is ass for me

Unless I’m laggi by

Lagging

Maybe skill issue

[arctic grove]

The hit reg is mostly ass

[ancient peak]

If lis missile, hit reg can be spotty at times

[wild marlin]

yeah I feel like I'm robbed of kills sometimes

[arctic grove]

Fr

[drowsy shuttle]

I guess update is next week

[hexed mango]

or later this week

[drowsy shuttle]

Na, should be a tuesday. So should be last tuesday of the month next week..

[still vault]

I know for a fact that when I make something that is due at a certain date, I'm totally going to release it unfinished at some other time if someone tells me to on Discord.

[arctic grove]

It is when it is at least dice didn't ultimately killed this game off yet...

[arctic grove]

Lol

[drowsy shuttle]

facepalm

[solar obsidian]

ea signing you up soon

[sharp marten]

It might release 31st

[still vault]

then again, couldn't you say that about every date from now until it's released? 😄

[sharp marten]

Yeah no that’s fair carb

[still vault]

@tender pendant probably knows. Silly thing, just floating there, filled with flammable knowledge and anti-ground weaponry.

[spiral folio]

A little bit more freedom

[still vault]

But alas, it doesn't share knowledge, only punish the silly infantry that strays too far from the Battlefield.

[crimson basin]

Liz will be the ultimate engineer

[sharp marten]

What if I shoot it down with a Liz rocket

[spiral folio]

Only engineer thatll have ammo for rockets

They'll probably screw that up too

[still vault]

Liz is a badass redhead with tattoos and a rocket, what's not to love

[spiral folio]

My lis doesnt have tatoos cause she's a good version

[sharp marten]

[crimson basin]

Not as badass bf3 us engineer though

[spiral folio]

The others are evil imposters

[sharp marten]

Amongus

[still vault]

That might have worked on a BF1 Zepp, this is an updated 2042 version.

[sharp marten]

IT HAS APS

[spiral folio]

Stealth zepp

[shut blaze]

when is the Jan update ?

[spiral folio]

Hopefully never

[jovial jay]

😳

[lavish patrol]

So uh... War Thunder just leaked the RCS of the Felon today

[spiral folio]

The what

[lavish patrol]

Radar cross-section

Or its radar signature

[jovial jay]

So

Are there any news regarding the 60mm flak

Im guilty to say that I use it with the biggest grin ever

[spiral folio]

On the hellcat?

Youd think theyd be equipped with proximity shells

[jovial jay]

Mav and hellcat

[spiral folio]

Oh that like one of the secondary pod weapons

[jovial jay]

The most annoying and evilest weapon in 2042

[spiral folio]

Too bad the jawa crawler sucks

[jovial jay]

Are they going to nerf the 60mm

Hopefully n... Well I mean anything for balance huh

[spiral folio]

Anything that makes hind abusers life worse is good

[jovial jay]

Oh yea that flak pod can destroy everything

Especially low flying vehicles

Countermeasures cant help it

[spiral folio]

Prox fuze rounds for the hellcat would do it too

[jovial jay]

But the biggest concern for me is the ability to delete group of infantry with ease

[spiral folio]

Not important if it gets rid of transports

[jovial jay]

So I really smell a nerf incoming

Grab a nightbird or one of those stealth heli and shoot them down

Or kamikaze into them

[arctic grove]

This...

[wild marlin]

Oml lmao, that's gonna stick

but it doesn't really tho

I get frags in it at least

[spiral folio]

Its basically just a mobile spawn beacon that can somewhat defend itself

[wild marlin]

the biggest issue with it, is the fact everyone get can it it

i feel like it's way better if 1 squad takes it over

and leaves the spotter seat for the spawns

like literally lock the first 4 seats to a squad

and leave the spotter seat unlocked for spawns

boom, it's useful

[spiral folio]

Well the spotter and the last of the pod weapons usually suck

Then beyond that it has like the turret and the other weapon

[jovial jay]

I dont think they'll ever do a squad exclusive vehicle

MAV is for the whole team

[spiral folio]

The turret is ok the 2nd weapon is generally lame

And the 3rd pod thing sucks

[jovial jay]

60mm

[spiral folio]

I think the spotter only exists to give the passenger something to do

[jovial jay]

[wild marlin]

well it has mortar pod in that slot so idk, it does work

[jovial jay]

I'd trade all weapon slot for the 60mm and we'll have the clown MAV on top scoreboard

[wild marlin]

like the turret, 50mm, and mortar pod and ur set

you can literally duel tanks with that setup

like the 50mm on that thing is ridiculous

[spiral folio]

Think the shotgun is the worst pod

[wild marlin]

I think it's pretty good

[hexed mango]

good

[spiral folio]

I dont use it cause i dont have glowing eyes or kidnap droids

[wild marlin]

I think flak pod, is the worst

but nothing beats mortar pod

mortar pod fucking rocks

[jovial jay]

Oh heck I enjoy the flak pod wholeheartedly

[wild marlin]

if you slam a tank with 1 , it chunks them for a good 20 or 25 iirc

[hexed mango]

not really. 3.1 came out on a wednesday iirc

[wild marlin]

I simply don't think it's that's effective against everything really

unlike the mortar pod, which if you hit anything less than a tank or light armor, you're gonna ruin their day

[hexed mango]

yeah 3.1 came out on a wednesday (7th of december) @drowsy shuttle

[jovial jay]

Just your different experience I guess, flak pod with proximity detonation for me is bliss lol

[drowsy shuttle]

Hum fair enough.. i still think its next week

[jovial jay]

Including the faster refiring rate

[sharp marten]

I only think it’s coming out next week becof the podcast but I could be wrong

Or the time as the podcast

But again I could be wrong it’s purely just speculation

[spiral folio]

Probably by the end of the month. But like enjoy what time you have left

[hexed mango]

3.1.2 = tuesday
3.1 = wednesday/thursday
3.0 = tuesday
2.2 = thursday
2.1 = tuesday

if anything it alternates between tues/thurs, which means its possible this thursday we will see the update

I wouldnt be surprised if tomorrow or wednesday we get news

[sharp marten]

Man’s is the update log book

Name every update

Now

[arctic grove]

Lol

Speculation doesn't bring anything just wait.
It's not like 2042 is the only game out there...

[jovial jay]

It is the latest battlefield game

[arctic grove]

So what

[jovial jay]

And everyone want their investment fixed

[sharp marten]

You respect Dan

Dan the mother fucking man

[jovial jay]

I wanna see my $60 unf*cked DICE

[arctic grove]

Hello there 👋

[sharp marten]

WELCOME FRIEND

[arctic grove]

(^^)

Lol thanks I guess alexia
And ligma it's your own fault investing that money right away...

[sharp marten]

Please call me Preston alexia is my future wife

[arctic grove]

Ok

[sharp marten]

[arctic grove]

[jovial jay]

Yep and I got past the refund limit trying to enjoy it, but quit anyway

[arctic grove]

What's your point still here then SMH

[jovial jay]

Been so long after a modern setting battlefield game with all those hype trailer, it has an effect on me 💀

Am I not allowed to see how its progressing

[arctic grove]

Well if you look at the last 2 decade haven't you learned anything??

[sharp marten]

Carbo I know some of the dice devs follow you on Twitter WHAT DO YOU KNOW TELL ME NOW YOU KNOW SOMETHING

[royal swan]

No armor for irish

[arctic grove]

I'm not sure if I understand the Irish change

[royal swan]

Armor is assault only

[arctic grove]

remember when the series had no armor

[sharp marten]

Wait

[royal swan]

No

[sharp marten]

People actually use the armor

[royal swan]

Because bfv had amror

In Firestorm

[arctic grove]

all we had was 100 hp

no prune armor

[royal swan]

Oh also In bf1

[arctic grove]

technically no

[royal swan]

Technically yes

[arctic grove]

the heavy gunner is just extra HP

no protection

[royal swan]

Well the flamethrower gave fire protection

[arctic grove]

ok

[royal swan]

Technically armor

Bfv had the first addition of the armor mechanic in Firestorm

[arctic grove]

just a copy of BR

[royal swan]

It was a good br tbh

[arctic grove]

meh

[royal swan]

If only they made it free

[arctic grove]

never liked br

[calm bison]

Firestorm was the best BR

[jovial jay]

Bf1 armor can still be one shot kill innit

[calm bison]

Fight me on that

[royal swan]

Not by bullets

More like explosives and bayonets/melee

[jovial jay]

What

[arctic grove]

it's not right for armored gunners to be one shot killed by bayonet

just sayy

[spiral folio]

Good god... i said 3.1.2 and another number as a joke and the dumb stupid time out thing muted me for 10 minutes

[jovial jay]

Hm I should have captured that one time I got insta killed while in a sentry kit

The mg one

[arctic grove]

Brs are overrated and overused

[jovial jay]

Wasnt melee or explosive

[royal swan]

Strange

[calm bison]

I understand that

But out of all of the BRs firestorm was the best

[sharp marten]

Debatable

[arctic grove]

Idk I haven't played that

[calm bison]

It was good because I didn’t have to build a 5 star bed and breakfast in order to win a firefight

It was good because it worked

[arctic grove]

Lol

[calm bison]

And it was good because I didn’t have to worry about annoying character abilities

[spiral folio]

My guess is there's some moronically sensitive spam prevention thing that sees if a post is only numbers or something? Maybe it thought i posted an IP?

[calm bison]

Try and take a shot at what games I was referencing with those

Also you’re all missing the best feature of firestorm

TRACTOR

[arctic grove]

Lol

[spiral folio]

There's no feature on a battle royale that counters the fact something is BR

[calm bison]

Fair

[arctic grove]

Anyway the xfiles are about to start ✌️

[calm bison]

I need to remember to download TABG

[sharp marten]

Minecraft br >

[spiral folio]

"Hey this rat poison is pretty sweet whats your secret"
"Candied ginger"

[calm bison]

Put a suppressor on your short barrel minigun

With a red dot sight

[sharp marten]

Don’t tempt me

[calm bison]

That’s TABG

Extended barrel on a taser

Just watch the Russian badger videos

[spiral folio]

Itd be really hard to suppress a minigun

Cause the backpressure

You'd need a way to continually clear the gasses

Maybe if you had like an exhaust pipe off the suppressor using the rotation of the barrel to pull air in to create a flow pattern

[stiff pollen]

Assault gets… a single med pen

[spiral folio]

Eh most front line sprayers wont last long enough to need a 1st or 2nd

[stiff pollen]

Not my fault they’re shit!

[spiral folio]

Well those are the morons that wanted classes

[stiff pollen]

Classes were always needed im just saying I’d expect like 2 or maybe even a rechargeable medpen

[spiral folio]

They weren't

Theres nothing classes add

Just limits

[stiff pollen]

Yes they were because the battlefield YouTubers told me so

They said if I didn’t like classes I should just play cod (Mfw they all did)

[spiral folio]

Lotta people will leave

I dont see like what it does to improve things besides like
"No Mackays with spawners"

[jovial jay]

Whats your better suggestion then

[stiff pollen]

Battlefront classes

[spiral folio]

100% no restrictions on anything

[stiff pollen]

[jovial jay]

My drunken suggestion would be to

[jovial jay]

This

Lol was about to say this

[stiff pollen]

My favorite thing is they did this whole dance with battlefront

Battlefront 1 had no classes

2 adds them back

[spiral folio]

Any mod on any weapon
Any gadget on any build

[stiff pollen]

Literally same team too

[spiral folio]

And characters are purely cosmetic

[jovial jay]

Too bad by the time the game had a bunch more unique unit, its already on life support

[stiff pollen]

Blame 2042

[jovial jay]

And 2042 probably didnt develop far enough into special units to actually do what battlefront 2 did

[spiral folio]

Obviously you cant pit a 5.7 suppressor on a ntw but like
If if fits it ships

Classes as a whole are an outdated concept lile TDM and someday BR modes

There is nothing classes ADD besides arbitrary prevention of "unwanted combinations"

[stiff pollen]

Mfw it’s almost like recons shouldn’t be carrying around rocket launchers

[topaz field]

is the update tomorrow or next week?

[spiral folio]

And unwanted combination translates to bad foresight and map design

[stiff pollen]

Next week

[jovial jay]

Classes were probably built on one of the arguement that "all units were trained exactly for the tasks" ig

Like who would want to build a unit of medic carrying clunky lmg

[spiral folio]

Why could somebody logically not carry a rocket launcher and a scoped rifle

But somebody else could caeey a HEAVIER LMG and ALSO a rocket launcher.

Please do that math

Classes were added before the notion of switching builds even existed

So the builds were rigid "you are medic you get these items"

Eventually it was like "ok pick 4 for 4 slots" etc.
So like
"Why can he carry that but i cant"
"..iunno"
2042 ok make your own build
"But I'm really really stupid how i mak build"
"We provided templates"
"But dat guy is smart and made better build. It not fair"

And the stupid guy whining about other people having better builds... is why we now have classes again.

[jovial jay]

Usually they'll just copy it but ok

[spiral folio]

Oh nah these guys arent smart enough to copy or counter

Theyre the reason kill cam and smoke trails exist

[jovial jay]

Another thing about why people complain about specialists are also about the non identity stuff

Like nameless soldier, random ass grunt

[spiral folio]

I wish that was purely cosmetic

[jovial jay]

Some just dont wanna see the same model running around everywhere

Distinct model btw

[spiral folio]

And stupid people without nuance think
"Daah you hate classes? Dem u muft like specialists"

[jovial jay]

Not military uniform

[pine roost]

i probably wouldn't mind them as much if they weren't so annoying as characters

[spiral folio]

If specialists were purely cosmetic they could add more easier too

Or gaaawd forbid
Make your own

[pine roost]

another thing is of course that skins can only go on certain characters. That's one downside to specialists over classes. But I don't care about collecting skins so it's no real bother

but I'd imagine someone who does care about skins would just find that frustrating

[spiral folio]

Yea like if youre a fam of X specialist and theyre Y class now.. too frigin bad i guess

[jovial jay]

Oh man there are a lot, like the Maul skin for battlefront 2 where people were grinding like nut for it

Also

Anyone noticed a guy called "Delta" in gameplay and trailer before release?

[spiral folio]

I think there were a dozen other better ways to prevent people from doing "bad combinations" loke mackay with spawner etc. This was the "easiest" option

[jovial jay]

Cant send pics here

[spiral folio]

Yea not without "regular" status whatever that means

[pine roost]

Most of the benefits of a class system when it comes to infantry combat I found was down to the weapon restrictions

The class you were fighting could determine how you fight them

[jovial jay]

well anyway I assume they had a random grunt thing for 2042 back then with a guy called Delta in trailers stuff

Black masked with some headgear

No face

[pine roost]

But that’s been taken out in place of weapon proficiencies. But overall I’d say that’s a better decision than limiting them

[spiral folio]

Awful justification and imo wrong

Most of the impact for this change will be like
No snipers with ammo boxes tryiny to force them closer to the front.
No mackays/[others] with spawners besides recon classes

And that's just what I'm aware of i can bet people can think of more "annoying combos"

So like no mackays and sundances to put spawners is i think a big one

[pine roost]

I wasn’t specifically talking about the gadgets they have access to, I was just outlining how the weapon restrictions affected your decisionmaking

[spiral folio]

They openly hate snipers so it doesn't surprise me theyd screw over snipers

[jovial jay]

Yea thats super relevant to class selection

[pine roost]

Well I play snipers on the frontline where the ammo is going to be anyway

[spiral folio]

Weapon restrictions are basically a non issue because you can STILL carry whatever

[jovial jay]

And current map in rotation

[spiral folio]

But now theres no way to put spawners on mackay/sundance

[pine roost]

Well now they are because you can use whatever

[pine roost]

I think this is a plus but you probably disagree

[spiral folio]

The devs dont want unintended uses and that's the most restricted one. So the real purpose of this change will be in the class-restricted gadgets

And who wants the awful recon specialists

So they restricted the spawners to the worst ones

[quick egret]

They are still exactly the same

[spiral folio]

Nope

[quick egret]

Just bonuses with snipers now

[verbal barn]

Is the battle pass worth it? I’m a new player but I’ll bang it out to tire 100

[spiral folio]

You can snipe with any character yes

But ONLY th le shitty recon specialists get spawners

[quick egret]

So paik could use spawner and soflam or whatever, spawn on their McCay squad mate and then place their spawner

[pine roost]

The high movement assault specialists having a spawn beacon makes one of the only somewhat consistent things, spawns, even more inconsistent

[spiral folio]

Dont know the exclusive gadget to other classes

[pine roost]

In a game like this where so much is going on there needs to be some level of consistency so you feel like you have some semblance of control and responsibility for your actions

[spiral folio]

Somebody had an info graphic for it once

[topaz field]

im taking work next week off

[pine roost]

It’s also most likely changed since it was first spoken of too

[spiral folio]

The one i know is the spawner

[pine roost]

Last I heard assault had med pen, engineer had repair tool and the support had the defib

[quick egret]

Yeah that’s it

[spiral folio]

That it huh

Oof

[topaz field]

i want them to show us a preview man

[quick egret]

Even though defibs were always available

[topaz field]

im bit mad we get no rpeview today

[spiral folio]

Yea well

[wild marlin]

I think the issue is more like, too many of 1 thing really sucks

[pine roost]

If they make them like the bf1 syringe thatd be nice

[wild marlin]

IE rocket launchers

[spiral folio]

It does force more people tk carry a defib

Will they use it? No

[pine roost]

That’s just new players having the awareness of a tin can

[wild marlin]

wait

since supports are getting the defiv

as their class gadget

doesnt that mean you can't rez squadmates

if youre not support

[spiral folio]

Id bet squad rev exists

[pine roost]

You’ll still be able to Rez squad mates

[wild marlin]

that kinda just doesn't make sense

[pine roost]

It’s no different from how it works already

[wild marlin]

like that means supports just got shafted this update

[spiral folio]

I think falk will rev faster

[pine roost]

How?

[wild marlin]

they got their passive moved to the class gadget slot

like yeah they do it twice as fast, but still

[quick egret]

Irish will get a new passive and so will Crawford when they swap roles

[pine roost]

Well it is a class gadget, supports are still the only ones who can revive non squad mates. That’s kind of all it needs

[spiral folio]

From the devs pov the update then solves
-need more revives
-no more spawn beacons in unreachable places

[wild marlin]

Irish gets Crawfords current passive.

[quick egret]

Oh makes sense

[spiral folio]

What are their passsives

[quick egret]

Even though it’s literally what angels should do

Crawford give gadget ammo on rez, falck gives full hp, angel gives ammo

[wild marlin]

still, fuck Crawford's gadget

sucks

his best feature gonna be the rocket launcher

[quick egret]

The specialist balance will he receiving more changes in the future so maybe they’ll address his Vulcan

[pine roost]

The fact that so many gadgets have had to be toned down to near useless levels goes to show that they were not a good idea in the first place

[quick egret]

Boris is literally the worst specialist

[spiral folio]

Yea not to go back to em too much but like being able to get over massive obstacles with the grapple and wingsuit really messes with map design

[wild marlin]

literally just delete him

we have enough crusty old specialists

[spiral folio]

Because formerly impassable becomes vantage points and hidey holes

[pine roost]

Easily my biggest gripe with the specialists boil down to their main gadgets

[wild marlin]

which ones specifically

[quick egret]

It’s the lack of team synergy In those gadgets for me personally

[wild marlin]

^^^

[spiral folio]

If the zain thing or lis rocket were ordinary weapons they would tnchange the game entirely.

[quick egret]

What does maccay do to help the team beside his squad spawning on him

[spiral folio]

You cant force team synergy to exist

[pine roost]

Boris, mackay, Sundance, paik, lis mostly

[wild marlin]

kill everyone cuz hes the best duelist 😂

[quick egret]

But you can enforce it

[spiral folio]

Theres no magic wand that'll make morons work together on purpose

[pine roost]

He takes space, which is still useful

[wild marlin]

Boris' turret, Mackay's PASSIVE, idk what's wrong w Sundance, and Paik is like a recon oxymoron

[spiral folio]

You trick people into cooperating by accident by incentivizing things that help the team

[quick egret]

Yeah In comparison to specialist that do help like say Casper spotting people or rao stopping a heli from strafing or popping flares

[wild marlin]

Rao just doesn't make sense as a recon

[pine roost]

The only real way to force it is to make it a side effect of someone using that gadget for their own benefit. Someone dropping a med kit for themselves can be used by other teammates etc. however a med pen is just that person

[pine roost]

So this basically

[arctic grove]

Ppl seem to not cooperate in Bf games anyway

[wild marlin]

like why is a recon, inhibiting a vehicle DIRECTLY

[willow sky]

at least rao will have a squad lock on for vehicles 😳

[clear moon]

I have returned to bf2042 and haven't played since launch. I'm just wondering what is the p currency at the top of the menu i have 10 of the p currency and 100 of the battlefield coins

[spiral folio]

If you had a slot on a build to pick any gadget you wanted at any time the two that dick with the game the most are the grapple and wingsuit really

[quick egret]

That kinda goes around to the lack of healing in 42 anyway

[pine roost]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wild marlin]

they shouldn't be ☺️

they should HELP, the engineer

not do his job for him

[pine roost]

Get rid of med pen and make the med kit the default and I reckon you’d see a lot more heals being dropped

[spiral folio]

Give a recon a massive rifle that actually damages a vehicle maybe

[willow sky]

damn no one here is talking about poor dozer

[spiral folio]

Not pretend levels of damage like the worthless ntw

[wild marlin]

ntw

[wild marlin]

what's wrong w him

[spiral folio]

Nope

Ntw sucks for vehicle damage

[arctic grove]

Dozer is good in breakthrough

[quick egret]

Or if falck had bandages instead of a stupid stim pistol

[wild marlin]

Bro is asking for a literal rorsch mk1 💀

is that what you want

the final stand weapon

[arctic grove]

I mostly use the healing pistol

[arctic grove]

Why bandages?

[wild marlin]

cuz that thing was actually hitscan and could one shot jets and shit

[spiral folio]

They should make the ntw bipod fire only and like 4x the damage for how few shots it has

[pine roost]

Reminder

[wild marlin]

or add realistic vehicle damage and make the Anti material rounds, break things, or kill crew inside

like irl

[spiral folio]

Imo also it shouldnt damage tanks

Like.. 20mm is not that big

[wild marlin]

but it can go thru tanks tho

or at least set off the explosive reactive armor

[arctic grove]

Lol talking about realism in a damn video game c'mon man

[spiral folio]

Like jeeps maybe the RAM maybe the jawa crawler
Not the tank

[quick egret]

It’s a lot to ask for, for someone to pull out a gadget that needs to reload and be aimed, compared to how you could one click bandages like in V. I know it sounds kinda dumb, but they actually over complicated the healing, you are completely exposed when you have the pistols out

[pine roost]

true

[wild marlin]

well bro it's like do you or do you not want realism cuz these guys literally implemented recoilless back blast that kills people

useless

but realistic

[arctic grove]

Just reload behind cover tho…

[quick egret]

The pistol is just trying to reinvent the wheel

[pine roost]

no I don't want realism :)

I want fun, and balanced

[arctic grove]

And u don’t need to aim the pistol either

It has some werid ass tracking

[wild marlin]

very slippery slope with this statement 💀

[spiral folio]

They could up the damage from the recoilless if they made the back blast more visible i think

[arctic grove]

His shield should be used as a battering ram instead of something you just nudge people with.

not to mention, the tiny hitbox

[pine roost]

when every game these days is devolving into 'realism' that contradicts what realism actually is, I don't think it's a tall ask

[wild marlin]

but it 1 shots

and immune to small arms fire and explosives from the front

[quick egret]

‘Aim it’ I mean you have to face the person and pull the gun out, It’s just less efficient than shitty old bandages and there is a cooldown

[wild marlin]

i don't think he's bad atm

[spiral folio]

Does his shield degrade at all

[wild marlin]

no it's indestructible

[spiral folio]

Now that's a little stupid

[wild marlin]

but it won't save him from a railgun tank 🙂

or a regular tank

[arctic grove]

Ehh not that hard imo

[wild marlin]

or any firearm over a 50 cal

[spiral folio]

Like if he gets hit from AP it should have consequences

[arctic grove]

I like how DICE is hyping up the game up but the udpate wont drop till next week

Still close

[wild marlin]

and it's gonna have very obvious glaring issues from the get go

[arctic grove]

It’ll prob work

[spiral folio]

Like if we pretend his shield is like interwoven nanotubes harder than diamond. Absolutely indestructible. If thats hit by a 20mm you're gonna get a bruise

[arctic grove]

But I need to get used to it 😂

[wild marlin]

like it's gonna fix alot of things

but it's gonna bring its own problems with it

[quick egret]

That isn’t the point I’m trying to make, it’s just that how we had bandages and no one complained about it, now bandages don’t exist but we have a pistol that requires several button inputs and possible delay that wouldn’t be an issue if bandages were also in the game but we have medpen

[wild marlin]

it's vibranium shield dummy 😂

[spiral folio]

It doesnt fully stop a rocket, but only because the explosion rays touch his feet

[arctic grove]

You could make a server in portal with Classic 2042 setting

[wild marlin]

I'm pretty sure an M5 will kill you if hits your shield

even with your extra blast resistance

[spiral folio]

Like if a rocket blast was fully absorbed by the shield. Hes gonna go off the other direction... like as though being propelled by an explosion

[arctic grove]

Bc no one complaing abt a stim pistol Ig

[spiral folio]

Cite the example of Link in the documentary "legend of zelda the animated series" where he jumps on a bomb with his shield and flies

[wild marlin]

but nah bro he's mexican and fat, so basically immovable

[arctic grove]

Dozer is fucking built

[wild marlin]

but back in the beta

his shield

was actually invincible

like he will not die to anything from the front 💀

doom49 made a video showcasing it

[arctic grove]

Blocking tank shells💀

[quick egret]

It’s not the pistol objectively it’s the lack of healing in game, med box only, and a stim pistol locked to a single medic, if bandages were available yadaydayada

[spiral folio]

I wish theyd add a recoil bump to it

Like if he takes a big hit he gets pushed back

[wild marlin]

bro could've stopped railgun tank too I bet

[arctic grove]

The shield's proficiency in defending isn't that much of an issue, but the way you kill people with it is for me, awkward asf.

You basically have to get right in their face and hit them in such a way because Dozer pushes it at such a stupid angle.

Personally, I think it'd be awesome if it worked like Grievous's Claw Rush ability in BF2. Have it so if you've been running at a constant rate for a few seconds, just charging into people and making contact will at least damage them from the speed you're going at and how much force that shield is gonna have in whacking them

[arctic grove]

Ehh year 2 will have another support specialist so might add some more healing

[wild marlin]

I think, what you want is like, a charge ability with him

[arctic grove]

Aye

[wild marlin]

like he just starts barreling thru people

[arctic grove]

nice strike

[wild marlin]

Juggernaut type deal

[arctic grove]

Yesss!! And if I have to trade the shield's constant use in return for a timed ability that operates like that, I'd happily take that

[quick egret]

They added a support already and never even addressed the issue so it’s probable that they will never address the issue considering assault is receiving a fucking medpen always

They want you to heal yourself not be healed

By your “supports”

Zain with his quickfix and a med pen makes little sense

[hexed mango]

they aren’t adding more specialists after s4

last specialist is the next one

[spiral folio]

Phalanx made of dozers

Tortois formation comes back 2000 years later

[hexed mango]

they would have technically added one per class

Engineer: Lis
Assault: Zain
Support: Crawford (replaced by Irish as Crawford goes to engineer)
Recon: S4 guy

[quick egret]

I can’t wait for them to be useless

[spiral folio]

The new recon ia gonna be ass i just know it

[quick egret]

Unspottable passive ability

Or some dumb shit like that

[wild marlin]

maybe assault should just be the medic role again

[spiral folio]

His primary gadget will be a "pretty long knife" and his passive ability will be like "flora identificstion

[hexed mango]

unspottable if it applies to 3d spotting is gonna be amazing

[wild marlin]

worked out great in bf4

[hexed mango]

unfortunately isn’t how the game is designed and they don’t really have the intention or ability to change it to be so

due to how assault plays

[wild marlin]

like having a class specifically dedicated to taking duels, just results in a killmonger situation

[spiral folio]

They won't add a truly long range dedicated sniper. I have confidence in that

[quick egret]

It would be if support and medic weren’t mashed into one

[wild marlin]

we already have one tho

[spiral folio]

Even though the sniper is a trope of fps games

We do not

[wild marlin]

we do this

tho

the dxr

it's definitely tailored for engagements 500m+

[spiral folio]

No i mean
They wont add a recon whos gadget or special benefit sniping

[wild marlin]

the bullet drop is like half that of the swd

[wild marlin]

oh

is Casper not the guy for that?

[spiral folio]

They add sniper rifles but they hate snipere

With his tiny radioshack drone?

No

[quick egret]

Now we have a useless assault class, “takes the fight to the front lines” like idk every other specialist as well. It’s just more of those fundamentals that are inherently flawed

Assault in bf1 had anti tank

Assault in bf4 was medic

[crimson basin]

Did they say what button is freed for the third gadget on consoles?

[quick egret]

Assault is what in this game?

Duelist only

[spiral folio]

If it was me to pick the new recon specialist. His gadget would be a 14.5mm antimaterial rifle. His passive would be a cloak you can color match to bearby objects

That's my ultimate ideal

[wild marlin]

bro please no 💀

[spiral folio]

0.01% chance of either of those happening

[willow sky]

What about a recon that can go invisible 😳

bring the spy from tf2

🙂

[spiral folio]

See i figured invisible would be toooo much so i went with color matching

[willow sky]

camoflauge?

[spiral folio]

Like his clothing would be 1 color not like perfectly matching

Harder to find not invisible

[quick egret]

They better add more gadgets and throwables I would love to see the lunge mine return in some fashion

[spiral folio]

The 14.5mm could damage lighter vehicles but not heavy armor

[willow sky]

Give em the ghost perk from CoD lol

[quick egret]

They added the smoke launcher and a throwing knife, wow so influential

[spiral folio]

Yea no like fullbore active camo or literally bf heroes invisible

[willow sky]

oh yeah, is the throwing knife available for every class?

probably assault locked ngl

[spiral folio]

Surprised they dont restrict that to just engineers cause it makes no sense

[quick egret]

They made no comment on that

Or the concussion

[willow sky]

concussion i think its for assaults only, from the previous post about classes a few months ago

not sure if its changed

Honestly I think most assault players will just run the standard armor plate with med pen combo

[spiral folio]

I get restricting spawners but i dont get restricting some of the other stuff

[quick egret]

Assault should still have the m5 recoiless, considering the engineer are getting javelin, or maybe they should add the rpg7 from bf3 portal

I’m just sick of the scope on the m5

[spiral folio]

I really dont get support getting smgs

[quick egret]

And the slow ass rocket

[spiral folio]

And engineers getting lmgs

[quick egret]

I assume it’s a carry over from V

[spiral folio]

Like the reason bf1 supports had the mgs... is like you could grab the belt from a lmg and take the rounds. And use it in your rifle.

So the guy carrying lots of ammo would be
Get this
the guy carrying lots of ammo

[quick egret]

That’s the medic and support being mashed into one and then engineer and assault being split into 2 separate classes

[lethal vault]

Hey, I'd like to ask about something, I've RTX 3080 and Ryzen 9 5900x along with 16Gb ram, when ever I take a clip in bf2042 the clip stutters ALOT!!! like u can't see anything, It just happen with BF, all good with the other games :x ??

[quick egret]

It’s harder to classify specialist into roles, instead of making classes from the start

[spiral folio]

So just make the medic pick between a med box or ammo and still have the lmg

[clear moon]

I have returned to bf2042 and haven't played since launch. I'm just wondering what is the p currency at the top of the menu i have 10 of the p currency but don't know what it is

[quick egret]

That would be the first time in bf history a medic who should be on the front line have a lmg

It’s the mashing it’s just the class issue

[spiral folio]

Nope

[quick egret]

It probably works out best this way

[granite island]

10 pesos

[quick egret]

Elaborate

[spiral folio]

Badcompany and play4free

Not sure but maybe bf2 also

Also that doesnt matter

[willow sky]

they mentioned that they wanted supports to quickly get back into a gunfight after reviving allies or using gadgets with the faster draw time

[granite island]

All I can do before season 4 comes out is make ideas that I hope will be in season 4

[willow sky]

engineers with lmgs is eh

the proficiency wont be used all the time

[spiral folio]

In modern combat the squad support weapon guy literally carries more ammo

That ammo works in everyone elses stuff

The part that makes the engineers with lmgs stupid is they already carry a huge rocket launcher

[quick egret]

And that’s why in modern combat there is a medic, who operates in the field not a support

We need medic support engineer and recon

Fingers crossed for the next title

[spiral folio]

It'd make more sense for medic to fall under the assault weapons guys by that measure

Or even under engineer

[willow sky]

then we would go back to bf4 days

where everyone used medic as the assault

[quick egret]

Because medic was assault

[spiral folio]

Or maybe if we just... had slots for items and had people pick what they want

[willow sky]

was is the magic word

adios

[quick egret]

It was literally called assault

Yeah the restrictions might kill the game

But we have to wait and see

[willow sky]

they did mention about recoilless and other launchers getting buffed due to restrictions

[spiral folio]

Bf1 had it right like recons with rifles
Medics with medium rifles
Assaults/engineers with close and anti vehicle shit
And support with ammo

[willow sky]

that sounds good

[spiral folio]

Still the only thing better than getting classes right

Is getting rid of them entirely

[quick egret]

That’s no different from 4 just the names changed

[spiral folio]

Yea classes wouldnt even be so bad if they at least got it right

[quick egret]

Like assault has been a anti tank, a medic, a useless duelist all in the same franchise

There’s no consistency

I imagine they should just title classes by what they do, medic, support, engineer, recon

Like wtf is an assault honestly

[spiral folio]

Or scout they call recons too sometime cause they dont wanna call em snipers

[quick egret]

Everyone has guns to assault the enemy

[spiral folio]

Bf heroes called em commandos

[quick egret]

Yeah I mean scouts recon

Recon is the verb

And scouting is just a synonym anyway

[spiral folio]

Heroes was just commandos, soldier, gunner

[willow sky]

didnt 5 have like, engineer fused into the support class?

[spiral folio]

The commando was the sniper or melee guy

Soldier was both medic and assault

Gunner was rockets and big guns

I wasnt as in to 5 I'm blanking

[arctic grove]

I want long barrel + suppressor on my m5a3

[spiral folio]

What you want is the m250

[arctic grove]

Instead the suppressor removes the barrel entirely

[spiral folio]

Well or the m36

Suppressors for 2042 arent super great

[arctic grove]

Man

I would give anything to have my m5 look like the UI m5

[spiral folio]

I think the m36 will be portal weapon though

[arctic grove]

It has a different mag and the barrel is visible when a suppressor is equipped

I think they changed that since the pre alpha cuz I have a pic of a sws where it has a suppressor with a visible barrel

Now it disappears too

I've never seen it in game but I want it back

[warped vault]

TRASH GAME REEEEEEEEEEEE

[drowsy nebula]

Anyone want to squad up I'm on ps5

[still vault]

Hope so, kinda want more 2042 weapons in 2042

[spiral folio]

Itd be neat yea if some of the weapons in 2042 werent from 1980

P90 ntw shotguns... [lists almost everything]

[arctic grove]

same honestly, but still hoping for the XM8 AR lol

witch is from bad company 2

[spiral folio]

XM8 was the loveable emac looking AR people thought was gonna replace the m16 in the 00s

[arctic grove]

yes

[spiral folio]

Also it was a bad idea

[arctic grove]

i just like its look

its a very shitty gun RL

[spiral folio]

Picstinny rails obsoleted everything the xm8 offered

[arctic grove]

it wasent that

[spiral folio]

It also fired slower

Its claim to fame was supposedly durability and modular

[arctic grove]

the RL xm8 had a jamming issue that they could not fix so

scraped

[spiral folio]

Can't you still get em?

[arctic grove]

yes

but its very hard

[spiral folio]

If you wanna be "that guy"

[arctic grove]

ill ask my gun nut friend how but ik for a fact they dont make them anymore so its more of a collectors gun RL

if you have the cash and contacts that is

[spiral folio]

Yea i thought they sold em guess not

You can get similar things with too much plastic on em

Like theres some baretta 9mm carbine

[arctic grove]

idk who made the concept i.e. the manufacturer but you might be able to get a prototype

[magic bloom]

I’m pretty sure it was HK

[arctic grove]

or 3d print your own

might be i havent googled it yet

[magic bloom]

Yeah I just checked myself it was HK who made the XM rifles

[spiral folio]

Well rifle stocks are generally glassfilled polymer which is hard to print and even if you do it wont be good

[arctic grove]

btw 3d printing your own is well a no,no without a license

that be cool

[spiral folio]

Well you can print a stock but you cant print the operating components cause metal

[arctic grove]

ye

[edgy oriole]

im pretty sure you can print whatever you want depending on the state you live. you just cant sell it

[magic bloom]

I’ve heard there is printer filament that can be used for gun parts but it’s extremely expensive

[arctic grove]

id just 3d print a air soft version for like 60% the price lol

[arctic grove]

ya exactly

[spiral folio]

You'll never get 3d printed to be as good as injected GFP cause of the whole layers thing

[arctic grove]

but ya BC2s AR XM8 was my favorite choice of gun back then, it then switched to the P90 but i honestly rather have the XM8 AR more

tbh i only like the P90 because of Stargate SG-1

[low timber]

Indeed

[arctic grove]

heh

i have that gif

if only i had the regular roll 😦

[magic bloom]

The space gat.

[low timber]

The P90 introduction scene was nice where the staff was a weapon of fear and P90 a weapon of war.

[magic bloom]

Space gats are cool (vector and P90)

[low timber]

Hey! You! In a skirt! Make the target swing a little!

[arctic grove]

the K30 is only more fun then the P90 do to attachments

[magic bloom]

K30 is just a brrrt cannon

[arctic grove]

ik

but the P90 is better at the job then K30, K30 is only superiors do to attachments

[tough wolf]

p90 is skeet water

bullets travel at the speed of a nerf dart

[arctic grove]

cuz your using it as a AR not a PDW

P90 is 1-200m MAX

[magic bloom]

I mean the 5.7 is often times faster than Assault rifle calibers out of a shorter barrel

[spiral folio]

Yea 5.7 is pretty fast

[arctic grove]

i was thinking video game

not RL

[spiral folio]

Well its 556 but small

[magic bloom]

Yeah

[spiral folio]

So it won't be faster than a 556 rifle

[arctic grove]

legit shotgun vs P90 it could go 50/50 depending on skill of the user, cuz the P90 is shotgun ranges it excels in

[magic bloom]

I mean that would depend on how your shell patterns on target

[arctic grove]

yep

[magic bloom]

Unless your using slugs

[arctic grove]

oh ya

true

[magic bloom]

Then just one tap them in the head

[spiral folio]

Or if you fully miss with a shotgun a p90 can readjust a lot faster

[magic bloom]

Unless your a scummy 12M user like myself then just flip the giggle switch on

[arctic grove]

i love CQB i dont really have to think about bullet drop, ya sure like im still not good at it in 2042 but ill get there

[spiral folio]

The point of the p90 was maneuvering in tight spaces

[arctic grove]

yep

[spiral folio]

The 5.7 was also chosen to avoid over penetration

[magic bloom]

I mean it was also devolved for rear echelon troops who weren’t supposed to see frontline combat

[arctic grove]

5.7 is stronger then 556 right? in penetration power i mean

[spiral folio]

No

[magic bloom]

That’s why the had its special military only ammo ( FN get the stick out of your ass and lemme buy it already)

[magic bloom]

Not even close

[arctic grove]

😦

[spiral folio]

Literally the same bullet but the 5.7 has a smaller brass/less propellant

[arctic grove]

ah

[magic bloom]

Maybe if your 5.56 is coming out of like a 3 inch barrel

Even then the concussion from that would probably kill

[edgy oriole]

5.56 is rifle round and 5.7 is pistol round. rifle round has to be stronger

[spiral folio]

They call it 5.7 because you cant have two rounds called the same thing

[arctic grove]

< is not a gun nut ( ty for telling me)

[edgy oriole]

but for a pistol round 5.7 is v big. its a big boy round

[arctic grove]

fuck i hate not knowing how to spell simple words

[magic bloom]

Funny enough a 5.56 is a 22 caliber bullet

[spiral folio]

5.7 is 5.7x28mm
5.56 is 5.56x45

[arctic grove]

OK ya that makes sense now

[magic bloom]

Use the lords caliber instead .45 (this is a joke please don’t burn me at the stake)

[spiral folio]

TeU WaraLd WAURS

[magic bloom]

GoD dAmN rIgHt BuBbA

[arctic grove]

lol

have you guys seen this btw? https://youtu.be/pYMGBstR_os

[magic bloom]

But yeah I’m gonna need FN to get their head of their ass and lemme buy the spicy 5.7 rounds

I have

[spiral folio]

5.7 pistols dual-feed so they jam even less than 9mm

[magic bloom]

I Love That man

[arctic grove]

ik the guys a legend

[magic bloom]

Yes let me bullpup my pistol

[arctic grove]

LOL

[magic bloom]

God I hate bullpups

[spiral folio]

Ive seen hickok45 get greentip 5.7s

They exist

[arctic grove]

i can make you hate it more with 1 name

[ember nimbus]

Such a bizarre design to me

[magic bloom]

Oh yeah I can buy green tip 5.56 at the gun store I go to

I could buy 100,000 rounds of it if I had the cash

That’s how much they’ve got

[arctic grove]

@magic bloom reminds you that the L85A2 exists

[magic bloom]

Stop

That hurts

[arctic grove]

LMAO

[spiral folio]

FN restricts the salenof the greentip ones cause theyre designed to tumble

[magic bloom]

Only acceptable bullpups is the Keltec KSG, DSR-1, and the P90

[spiral folio]

You can get hollowpoint/polytip 5.7 easily though

[arctic grove]

ya P90 but with a drum mag= cringe

[magic bloom]

Yeah and FN can suck my pp just like HK

[arctic grove]

lol

[magic bloom]

Stop

[arctic grove]

xD

[magic bloom]

Reminding me of the divisions exotic P90 that has two mags

[arctic grove]

ikr

[ember nimbus]

I can't even imagine what that would look like

[arctic grove]

easy google search my dude

[magic bloom]

It’s got a drum going where the bullets come out of

[ember nimbus]

🗿

[spiral folio]

If i had an unlimited budget
Id design a lever action 5.7 that takes p90 mags

[arctic grove]

the P90 has a bullpup mag section 1sec

[magic bloom]

What in the Keltec design are you cooking up

[spiral folio]

Mount the mag on the side so the lever action turns the p90s rotating part

[magic bloom]

That seems so complex

Considering lever guns are complex

[spiral folio]

The mag runs alongside the barrel and then the rotating action of the lever goes 90 degrees aligning the round with the chamber

[arctic grove]

https://i.gyazo.com/7ffaf74828251e34cdea0a0bd70cc7a5.png

[magic bloom]

It’s not

Lol

[arctic grove]

[magic bloom]

THAT WOULD BE A .30-06 BELT FED MACHINE GUN

[arctic grove]

yep

[magic bloom]

YOUD SHOOT THREE ROUNDS AND BE POINTING IN THE AIR

[arctic grove]

LOL

[edgy oriole]

bodies would be non existent

[wise zodiac]

No you wouldn't.

[spiral folio]

Isnt 30-06 pretty close to 7.62

[wise zodiac]

Very close.

[spiral folio]

So the m240

[magic bloom]

I would considering i haven’t shot much .30-06 plus it was out of a bolt gun so it hurted

[wise zodiac]

Yes.

[arctic grove]

you know someone in TX had made a 249 grand xD

[wise zodiac]

Which, I love my 240.

[arctic grove]

same

[magic bloom]

I want one.

[wise zodiac]

I also love my M2 .50

[wise zodiac]

[wise zodiac]

Those jungle boots are too much maintenance.

[edgy oriole]

german ww2 paratrooper boots are F I R E

[wise zodiac]

Gotta clean them literally every 30 seconds

It's bullshit

[edgy oriole]

never clean gives character

[magic bloom]

See I like tanker boots because I can’t tie my shoes

[spiral folio]

Yea current army boots are even a darker tan color so theyre even easier to maintain than thr ACU boots

[arctic grove]

i remember trying to sign up to the navy in high school years ago but i have flat feet :/

[magic bloom]

I’m pretty sure they’d take you now

[spiral folio]

Our sgts were always "you have NO IDEA how easier these boots are to keep up with"

[magic bloom]

Considering numbers for recruiting are at an extreme low

[arctic grove]

oh they would, if i dident have a mountain of auto immune issues and RA

[spiral folio]

My dad always kept one pair of shiney boots by his bed in army basic and then his other boots he wore. When he got out of basic he sold his boots to somebody

Cause they were like absolutely shiney

[wise zodiac]

Anyways, let's take this chat to #general so we can leave this chat for Battlefield 2042.

[proud zodiac]

Can someone explain to me what "meta" means in the context of battlefield and other shooters

[arctic grove]

nice and agreed my bad Rev

[magic bloom]

The best of the best

[spiral folio]

I got out 2015 just as ACU was goint away. I was given the option my last year to get the new stuff

[edgy oriole]

best loadout to use

[wise zodiac]

The best

[proud zodiac]

Why? How did that meaning originate?

[edgy oriole]

when the developers made op guns

[proud zodiac]

But what does that have to do with the actual meaning of the word, meta?

[spiral folio]

The meta-game is the game beyond the regular games set rules

[arctic grove]

I.E. SCAR IS META, ill pass

[spiral folio]

Ie "the real meta is using a lever action with a hair trigger and holosight" so people min/max to find ideal combos

[magic bloom]

Imagine

[arctic grove]

i like using non-meta guns to challenge myself and to be different

[proud zodiac]

Like, the meta-game is finding the most op load out?

[magic bloom]

I like using knives

[arctic grove]

O.o

[arctic grove]

some say, you have sharp reflexes

[magic bloom]

Just because I like disemboweling my enemies doesn’t mean I’m weird

[spiral folio]

Sometime the meta for competitive parts of games gets so far up its own ass that the competitive meta is no longer meta for the regular game

Ie world of tanks the clanwars meta plans weapons and strategies that only work in 7v7 tournament style vs good players

Not 15 v 15 random idiots

[arctic grove]

Thought the new game news post was patch notes
