battlefield-2042

[arctic grove]

[calm bison]

We failed men

No patch notes today

[arctic grove]

Taking their sweet time with em arent they

[granite island]

I didn't know exposure was in hazard zone

[ebon pilot]

Yea it's probably the best hazard zone map tbh

[granite island]

Oh no

I'm going solo in hazard zone

I have no teammates

This Is scary

[smoky quest]

meta means "within," so its basically the game within the game, or "gaming the game," so to speak. in other words its maximizing your advantage in a given game.

[granite island]

Holy shit I actually won

That was my first time winning

[arctic grove]

Well done! 👏

[dapper river]

Have u ever wanted to go... INSIDE battlefield?

[arctic grove]

👀

[edgy oriole]

is this from actual devs?

if so they shouldve done this starting after their holiday break

[dapper river]

me when i go inside Battlefield:

[granite island]

Irish shield wall is surprisingly good against latv grenade pods

[pine roost]

going to give that a watch tomorrow

spent a full 9 hours trying to figure out this stupid coursework

oh the 3.2 update does in fact bring the vehicle changes?

man it is actually going to completely change the game

[dapper river]

you know what's better than the shield wall? the shootdown sentry that blocks all those 40mm grenade pods, free of charge

no splash damage either

[smoky quest]

are you talking about the irish point defense thing?

[pine roost]

based on what they said in that podcast, they could be making some changes to the gustav once the class system comes around

I'd be all in for the readdition of angular damage modifiers, but without the ricochet that bf1 and v introduced

[dapper river]

They can start by changing the damn name from M5

3 things in this game are named M5, and C5 has "5" in its name so it's close enough, may as well be 4 things!

[smoky quest]

M5 recoilless, M5A1, and C5?

[dapper river]

No, M5C Bolte

[smoky quest]

regardless i agree, mentioning "M5" can mean any of those.\

[granite island]

5

Because 5 is cooler than 4

[kindred flint]

Wait its all bugs??

Always has been

[pine roost]

just call it the gustav like they already did in the podcast

[spiral folio]

Nobody talking aboht a m5 in a modern combat setting will mean a m5 stuart

Context is the spice of life

[grave prism]

Is update tomorrow

[versed wave]

no, probably on the 31st

[grave prism]

https://tenor.com/view/1984-skander-big-brother-gif-21303304

[pine roost]

the update will come when it comes

insightful stuff I know

[arctic grove]

Would there be any reason why i'm put on defense in Breakthrough every round? bad luck?

[pine roost]

yeah

[arctic grove]

It’s almost always what slots are open for

Cause defending just kinda sucks

yeah but i join at start many times, before it's full

and i agree it's awful

[hallow sierra]

they say defensive warfare was easy but not to 2042 standards

[arctic grove]

especially when attacker has a tank and defender has none

looking at you

grand bazaar

[pine roost]

this recoil fix is genuinlly one of the best changes I think I've felt in a long time. Long distance reactive tracking is so much easier now

because that movement inconsistency translated to horizontal aiming too

I did notice an instance of the sight jumping down after a long period of time but that will have to be addressed later

Man this podcast is really insightful

[arctic grove]

how's 2042 changed i haven't played the game in like 2 months

this game is like a ghost town now bro

[remote kiln]

nobodys entitled to respond to you lol

[pine roost]

Well they’ve been on break for a month or so so it’s mostly been bug fixes and small stuff. But 3.2 seems like it might be the biggest update yet

[arctic grove]

well that's nice

i stopped playing the game after i reached max level and unlocked almost every gun

[pine roost]

One thing I don’t really get is that they say that rocket launchers are the weakest yet, despite them having the best projectile drop, most consistent damage that is also high compared to every rocket launcher up until 4

Bf4 had low minimums and high highs, the lowest possible damage output would need 6 shots to kill, meanwhile the best outcome was 3. In 2042 its 4 shots from every angle besides the back which is only 3. It’s only downside in comparison I can think of is the forced scope and reload speed I guess?

[hexed mango]

max level? uh i doubt you reached max level which is level 1098 (S999)

[arctic grove]

no im S019

that's highest you can possibly go

[hexed mango]

S999 is the highest

S019 is just level 118

which means you're about 10.7% to max level

[pine roost]

Oh and they are adding class icons to the scoreboard too :D

[hexed mango]

and making the squad lead more recognizable

[royal swan]

They definitely need a squad rework

[hexed mango]

ye ive told sam about that multiple times

he says theyre working on it 🔨

[royal swan]

Probably seeing them in s4-5

[hexed mango]

hell yeah i get to miss school on friday

doctors appointment coming in clutch

[pine roost]

Might come with this patch we don’t know

[hexed mango]

it may, no confirmation tho

[pine roost]

I’m actually really excited for this patch

[hexed mango]

the only ones who arent are those that love abusing the system :)

[royal swan]

And who love killing dumbasses that no longer have equipment that help them out

[pine roost]

Balance was hell beforehand

As they said themselves

[hexed mango]

[royal swan]

It's claymore talk for them, personally claymores are overrated as fuck

[hexed mango]

fr

all my homies run soflam

[royal swan]

And that dart gun, just another soflam

[hexed mango]

fr

[pine roost]

I don’t think claymores will be used that often

[rocky kraken]

i love the fact that when air vehicles get shot they glitch around

[royal swan]

Even mortars

[pine roost]

I hope they don’t, just slows down the pace of the game for no reason and acts as an accidental kill that you don’t really put much effort into to recieve

[rocky kraken]

its such a good feature thanks dice

[royal swan]

Putting mortars in this game would do little compared to what the railgun tank has brought

[pine roost]

Depends on how they are implemented

[topaz field]

whoever decided to make the medpen from 3 to 1 i love you

[royal swan]

I can lable three top counters

For mortars in bf2042

[pine roost]

If you just click on a screen, it shouldn’t be too strong

[calm bison]

Railgun tank is not OP

[topaz field]

can we geta mini preview of the new controller layout

[topaz field]

BINGO ITS WEAK AS FK LMAO

[royal swan]

Unless you are a vehicle owner

[hexed mango]

air vehicle: exists
tor: no

[royal swan]

As infantry, easy peasy

[calm bison]

Only useful at the back of the map away from the frontline

[pine roost]

It’s good at what it’s good at but not much else

[royal swan]

With a couple of Irish APS that blocks any infantry anti tank equipment

[pine roost]

Limited aoe compared to base tanks, no push potential. It’s only good for taking out priority targets from range. Low risk medium reward that frankly doesn’t need much to play

[calm bison]

Either DICE adds an explosive railgun type or they make it more versatile at frontline combat

[royal swan]

I have done this before, works for any camping vehicle

[pine roost]

The ending to that podcast had a little battlefield jingle that sounded more like bf4 than 2042, I hope they’ll push an extended version of that

[hexed mango]

i still need to listen to it

[royal swan]

Bring back ai anti air

For spawn protection

[pine roost]

For main bases?

[drifting raft]

eh what, is it going to change?

[royal swan]

Yeah

[pine roost]

Would be nice

[royal swan]

Like in bf4

[hexed mango]

assume so

might also be that you have to double click

[royal swan]

It would make the jets buzz off from spawn camping helis

[pine roost]

A problem that had been fixed in past games

[drifting raft]

was that said on the podcast or in the Blog?

[hexed mango]

uh. i said "assume", as in I was assuming so... there wasnt really a mention in the blog and i havent listened to the podcast

[pine roost]

When they first said they’d add the class system way back when is when it was first mentioned

So it’s been confirmed for a while that they’d be changing the controls a bit

[drifting raft]

ah okay, i was getting exited 🤣

[royal swan]

New controller layout? When did we come to this

[pine roost]

Well we’ve known it was going to be a thing for about, 2-3 months now?

But if you want to be certain the podcast also confirms it

[fleet elm]

Anyone know where I can find out more of the lore in 2042 besides the short exodus film?

[royal swan]

Oh the jav, who in what mind thinks the javelin will be op

[calm bison]

Isn’t helicopter spam a bad thing in this game? Why would we want them to rape our team

[pine roost]

If you can hit them with a javelin, you can hit them with a recoilless the drop is that minimal. Then they also have a warning to be able to move

[hexed mango]

i cant wait for javelin

[pine roost]

I’m not gonna use it cause the recoilless is goated anyway and I need that speed

[hexed mango]

sam told me the javelin was better :)

"Torment"

florian just like me fr fr

[royal swan]

Oh I kinda figured how to properly aim the recoilless

Which is neat

[hexed mango]

do you not just hit right mouse button

[royal swan]

Like I can hit a target 300-400 meters out

[pine roost]

After playing squad for so long it just came naturally to me

[royal swan]

Or more by the aim system for the recoilless when you ads

[drifting raft]

One thing that's annoying for me is, having a Simracing rig, i have to unplug my steering wheel, direct drive base, and pedals, otherwise battlefield doesn't start, same issue with all battlefield games, usb port torture , starting to get loose now

[pine roost]

Although I still wish they’d either make the hipfire dead accurate or add a secondary short range sight to the Gustav

Would make anti air shots easier

[drifting raft]

is hazard zone still a thing or is it dead?

[topaz field]

i think they add one extra action

[hexed mango]

i like how florian is aware of the direct issues related to lack of certain gadget presence

[topaz field]

florian is thjat guy

[hexed mango]

fr

florian is amazing, no wonder sam is also so great (they work very closely together)

[drifting raft]

was on a long drive today that podcast was ACE

[hexed mango]

sam technically took Florian's old role

[pine roost]

Florian is also good at the game which I appreciate

He’s got a good sense of infantry balance

[hexed mango]

florian used to just be the specialists/gadget lead, but then once they started working on the class update, florian moved to a new team focused on the class rework, where as sam took over for the lead on the specialists/gadget team

florian got that dawg in him

[drifting raft]

not many devs beeing that open, cool to see, we need to appreciate that

[topaz field]

who is sam?

[hexed mango]

sam is open but doesnt like interacting with the community that much specifically cause he doesnt want people to hate on him for being at dice

the lead gadget/specialist designer

really cool guy

[topaz field]

hmm i dont think i ever seen him on twitter

[hexed mango]

he doesnt use twitter that much but his name is "Vanty"

[topaz field]

ahhh

[royal swan]

I have been saying this a lot, add a large dedicated map for hazard zone

Just add the firestorm map

[hexed mango]

tbh Total (tom) seems really stern

[drifting raft]

yeh it can be tough, that's why Florian is a legend, cuts out the whitenoise

[crude surge]

Try HiDHide, you can toggle individual USB devices or hide them all entirely without having to unplug them

[hexed mango]

true

[crude surge]

Should work wonders for your problem Silva

[hexed mango]

sam is still my buddy regardless, i usually suggest stuff to him or report bugs

[royal swan]

That 1942 revolver is awesome

That recoil is gone

And it's like 2-3 shot kill

[drifting raft]

thnx dude, will download that 👍

[royal swan]

Also fire rate is decent

Better than any of the other revolvers

[crude surge]

Nothing will replace my sweet mp28 tho

[icy remnant]

Bf2042 bringing back classes after the play base went down to 200 players peak 👍🏼

[royal swan]

That's what feedback gets you

Unlike the two other fps games (vanguard and halo infinite) that released the same year. Mostly dead and forgotten

[drifting raft]

Dunno where you get your stats from xD

[royal swan]

Oh I just realized he said 200 player peak

Lmao

1,000 at best

[icy remnant]

That’s not my point. My point is that it’s a dead game now

[drifting raft]

a bit diluted stat

[crude surge]

There was a dark period on steam but idk about that dark

[royal swan]

Oh god, guy thinks he's living early 2022

[icy remnant]

How dark can it really get 😭

[pine roost]

He’s come in here a couple times and had some really interesting discussions. One such discussion was about some specialist balance changes that I personally love the sound of

[crude surge]

It can be dropped entirely

[drifting raft]

is he a timetraveler?

[royal swan]

The whole dead game ideal for majority of people died when season 2 - 3 came out

[hexed mango]

i mean yeah when he wants to he gets engaged and really appreciates feedback

[pine roost]

I can understand keeping to himself though

[royal swan]

Tbh, I question the reason to not say anything about new features or upcoming content

[crude surge]

100% season one was the most dead it ever was and it's only been climbing since especially now that it's on game pass

[royal swan]

Also, it's still holding on the mix reviews on recent

[pine roost]

Probably due how to frequently it all changes internally

[icy remnant]

Honestly they should just give up and start working on a new game and learn from the mistakes that they made on 42

[pine roost]

They are instead learning from their mishaps and applying it to 2042

[icy remnant]

The narrative about this game has already been set and there is no other way dice can overcome it

[royal swan]

Guarantee the next battlefield game will be mediocre at best

[kindred flint]

im just here waiting for dice to pull support from the game

[pine roost]

I’d much rather get something good at the end than them abandoning it

And based on the game’s trajectory at the moment, it could be

[crude surge]

I definitely don't see them abandoning 2042 anytime soon, but that doesn't mean it'll be great either they might turn the ship around and drive it back into the ground who knows

[tough folio]

so why do radar missiles regenerate as much as they do

honestly a bit strong

[crude surge]

At least it's battlefield still and not whatever CoD spits out constantly

[kindred flint]

theyre literally pulling devs off 2042/rehiring the old MP director for a new BF game lol

100% they will dump the game as soon as they can, just like bfv

[tough folio]

also a jet is definitely not going below radar to dodge missiles, i checked that range and its pretty small

[crude surge]

In my opinion radar missiles still aren't exactly your best option

[tough folio]

how so

[ebon pilot]

it's surprising to me how fast radar missiles regenerate compared to AtG missiles. AtG missiles do so little damage compared to something like an M5 Recoilless and take so long to recharge by the time you can come back around and fire another shot the tank is fully repaired just from their repair system.

[pine roost]

I admire battlefield’s ability to actually try new things. Unlike cod who stick to the same formula but somehow gets worse

[tough folio]

its pretty cheap for a free lock on missile

[crude surge]

They still have a seemingly short lock on range making them kinda moot against helicopters meaning they become an anti jet tool and I'd rather have regular missiles than radar missiles to fight another jet

I don't dare attempt to hit anything on the ground with a jet I am both not that skilled nor do I want to suffer the weak cannons

[tough folio]

eh, not for me, i can use them just fine, just with a little reading movement

[pine roost]

The 25s are actually really good against infantry and very light vehicles

[ebon pilot]

you can't even lock ground targets with radar missiles

[pine roost]

The only reason they feel bad is due to the physical handling of the jets themselves

[tough folio]

i farm infranty with the jet lol, easier with the f35

[crude surge]

I saw you mention AtG missiles I didn't mean to frame it as radar missiles against ground targets

[tough wolf]

Lies lies lies

[pine roost]

If they were a bit ‘tighter’ and less floaty that’d be nice

[tough wolf]

Misinformation spreading

posting falsehoods

[ebon pilot]

ah yeah

[tough wolf]

making unverifiable statements on the internet (lies)

[icy remnant]

Battlefield dickrider when the game is not good

[tough folio]

i can smack a wall, and turn completely vertical, but god forbid i slowly and gently touch a fence post

[tough wolf]

uh low IQ wannabe gamer ^^

[crude surge]

I'd rather ride battlefield than associate with CoD

Any day

[tough wolf]

comes to battlefield discord
interacts with people that have positive opinions of battlefield
"u guys are just dick riders"

[tough folio]

i feel pretty good about jets, they feel fun chasing other jets and countering, when the enemy isnt using radar. heli sweats will often try to deter you too, and even kill you mid fight with ir missiles

[pine roost]

I just want a couple bug fixes, quality of life stuff mostly

Less drift would be a huge plus though

[drifting raft]

Wish i had a RPGv7 in breaktrough with that chongus bf3 hitbox

[pine roost]

Would improve the strafing time so you don’t need to pull up so early, and make finer adjustments easier to make

[tough folio]

my discover weekly is popping off rn

[tough folio]

i find it annoying that the f35 is slower, but i guess its accurate.

[pine roost]

It should have the same turn stats as the SU

[crude surge]

And for the love of God make the 30mm cannon feel like a 30mm cannon

[pine roost]

Even with yaw in consideration it turns slower, kind of an instant loss in a fair dogfight. Something I’m not a fan of

[crude surge]

And that goes for the attack helis too the 30mm feel like a .50cal at best

[pine roost]

Isn’t a 50 bigger than a 30?

Since you know, the number’s bigger

[crude surge]

30mm is significantly bigger

Like by a lot

[pine roost]

Why is it called 50 cal then

[tough folio]

for the sake of it being an videogame, the same turn speed would be nice, but other people have told me that f35 has a slower turn circle irl, so i appreciate the semi realistic element just as well. just means you have to be a little more clever with the f35

[crude surge]

The A10 warthog has a 30mm cannon

[crude surge]

Because it's .50 caliber and millimeters and calibers are arbitrary units anyways

[pine roost]

I have no care in the world for realism, if there is only one jet to pick from in each they should both be statistically the same

[crude surge]

That's something I agree with 100%. If you don't have a choice in the matter it should be a level playing Field

[royal swan]

Most of the vehicles are identical

[pine roost]

If there were multiple choices like having a stealth jet and attack jet in bf4 then sure, make those two different and you’ll have to play differently

[royal swan]

Wildcat, ram

[pine roost]

How big is a calibre then?

[royal swan]

The light vehicles

The ground transport

[tough folio]

also they need to fix flight assist on console, its just on no matter what, and im tired of seeing pro players melt infantry with pinpoint accuracy and no resistance, while i have to fight the autopilot

[royal swan]

Jets need more missiles

And bombs

6 minimum

[pine roost]

YES
Someone else who acknowledges its existence!

[crude surge]

The caliber is measured in relation to the bore just like millimeters, but it's like the difference between imperial and metric units of measurement I guess is the better way to describe it a 50 caliber has a millimeter measurement it's like 12 point something millimeters but they don't call it a 12-point whatever they call it a 50 caliber but instead of calling a 30 mm of 500 caliber or a 600 caliber or whatever the hell it would be they just call it 30 mm cuz it's so damn big

[dapper river]

jets need to be shot down with like 4 30mm shots

[pine roost]

Well that totally doesn’t make it confusing…

[tough folio]

tbh, i think the jet is the last thing that needs bombs for a while unless its not the he bombs the huron carries lol. being bombed by something borderline unhittable wont be fun to play against

[pine roost]

Is there an easy way to convert from calibre to mm?

[crude surge]

Now you start looking at the difference between like 7.62x39 and 7.62x57 despite being the same bore diameter at 7.62 it has significantly different case dimensions

[crude surge]

Probably yeah but I don't know offhand

[pine roost]

True. In the rock paper scissors balance this game has, adding anti infantry bombs would muddle that considering the anti infantry focus of most helicopters

[pine roost]

Btw what’s a bore?

[mental cave]

just dont think about it and accept that a .50 is a big boi even if it doesn’t make sense

[crude surge]

The bore is the diameter of the barrel the round is being shot through

[pine roost]

So the calibre is some arbitrary value that is essentially the radius of the centre of the bullet to the edge of the barrel?

[crude surge]

A .45 caliber pistol has roughly a .45 inch diameter barrel

[tough folio]

is bf2043 under maintenance? it wont let me in the servers

[crude surge]

No no it's not a radius it's the full diameter of the barrel

Most calibers get their number based on the bullet size and the case dimension like 9x19 parabellum is a 9 mm bullet in diameter by a 19 mm case but not all bullets use this naming convention especially when you get into big size bullets

[pine roost]

Oh is that 0.45 called that because it’s measured in inches

[crude surge]

But a .50 caliber bullet does not have exactly a .5 inch barrel either so it starts to get weird

[royal swan]

Like you can't play any matches, it gives you an error every time you try and match make

[pine roost]

Maybe I should just avoid trying to make sense of it…

[crude surge]

It definitely is better to just accept that it doesn't make sense

There's logic behind the madness it just doesn't fix the fact that it's still madness nonetheless

[tough folio]

it wont even let me on the screen, says failed to load persistance data when i try to login

[crude surge]

Are you playing on console or PC

[pine roost]

Isn’t .45 really small?

Like pistol size

[tough folio]

xbox series x

[crude surge]

Now it's actually one of the bigger pistol rounds available

[pine roost]

But a .50 is big?

[crude surge]

Close the game entirely disconnect your console from Wi-Fi completely restarted reconnect Wi-Fi and then relaunch the game one time that should fix it

[hexed mango]

3.2 is either gonna come out on monday next week or late this week

[crude surge]

Very big, the difference between like a 45 caliber ACP and a 50 caliber action Express is the difference between getting poked with a thumb or getting punched with a fist

[pine roost]

But why if it’s only a 0.1 difference

[royal swan]

.50 can be put in different sizes right

[pine roost]

0.05 actually

Ahh my head

[crude surge]

Because that point one difference does not account for the case dimensions behind the projectile the size of the case is what dictates how much powder is behind the bullet so it doesn't exactly matter how big the bullet is

[royal swan]

Like the ammo rounds of a deagle and a Barrett are both .50

[crude surge]

50 BMG is the biggest baddest 50 caliber round you could probably buy as a civilian and it is significantly larger than 50 action Express but they both have a 50 caliber or .5 inch diameter bullet

[pine roost]

So the diameter can be a .05 difference, but it being longer is what makes it stronger?

[crude surge]

No putting more gunpowder behind the bullet is what makes it stronger that's what makes a bigger cartridge

[edgy oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/ashton-kutcher-gif-21810448

[pine roost]

But not necessarily wider, just longer right?

[crude surge]

Sometimes not even that actually

[pine roost]

According to good old google, 0.3 inches is 7.62mm

[crude surge]

You can have the same size cartridge with a different width projectile and change the characteristics of it too

And depending on the grain of gunpowder that's in the cartridge could change the characteristics like you could run really hot cartridges with more powder in the same size cartridge making it overpressured out of the same gun and get much more muzzle velocity

[pine roost]

So does that not mean a 0.30 is a 7.62 bullet?

[crude surge]

Technically yes a 7.62 bullet could be called a 30 caliber bullet but the problem is that there are multiple sizes of 7.62 mm cartridge

There's 7.62 x51 and 7.62 x39

[pine roost]

In all honesty I think I’m just going to call it a night there. My brain has already been fried due to uni work today and it’s currently 1am

Seems like it’s not possible for me to understand all of this as a Brit with no gun experience or know how

[edgy oriole]

I'm tryna get that Spear 7.62x51

[crude surge]

Sig spear LT?

[tough folio]

its still not letting me in, and i literally just bought the game. -_-

[edgy oriole]

Yeah buddy

[crude surge]

Could be server maintenance then just try again later

[crude surge]

Hell yeah that new sig spear looking fire

[royal swan]

They should add a rotary action sniper rifle

[crude surge]

Honestly I want that 6.8 cartridge

[royal swan]

Rotary action sniper rifle would be so nice

Or a marksman

[tough folio]

wth is battlefield mobile

[royal swan]

Battlefield but on a mobile device

Like cod mobile

Cod but on a mobile device

[crude surge]

I can't even think of a rotary action gun that wasn't extremely custom

Like those wild Hoenig rifles

[royal swan]

Yo someone with image perms, go post a image of a rotary action rifle

It's a fucking good looking gun

[crude surge]

I mean it would just be like another m30 drilling but not a shotgun

[idle lion]

I never understood what helis flight assist does, can sm1 explain

[tough folio]

website says the severs are fine

reinstall might fix it

[royal swan]

Yeah it would be holding two rifle rounds

There has been shotgun variants

[crude surge]

Tbh I don't even see a rotary action even fitting in the game and being viable in any way

[royal swan]

This game has a bulpulp pistol

[crude surge]

A double barrel break action rifle would just feel sluggish even compared to the slowest bolt actions

[tough folio]

which one

[crude surge]

Even if a rotary would be cool af

[royal swan]

The new one

[crude surge]

NVK P125

[tough folio]

wouldnt that mean all pistols are bull pup?

[crude surge]

It would not no

The NVK is the only pistol with the firing mechanism behind the trigger group

[hexed mango]

its also named in the game files as "pistol_bullpup"

[tough folio]

thought it was in front, might have not looked at the gun hard enough

[crude surge]

The magazine sits awkwardly behind the grip as opposed to in the grip itself

[royal swan]

Give the rotary action rifle the best bullet speed or something

[crude surge]

It doesn't exactly look like a magazine but it is

[royal swan]

Or bullet distance

[tough folio]

also whats up with the new pistol, i would use it, but it seems glitchy

[crude surge]

That sounds like it would start to interfere with the other snipers a bit tho

The burst mode is very glitchy on the NVK pistol

Single fire works pretty smooth but why the fuck would you use it on single fire the whole point is burst mode

[tough folio]

so what your saying is g57 is still best sidearm

[royal swan]

Then make it a utility gun that shoots rifle rounds and shotgun rounds

[crude surge]

So a modern M30 drilling

[royal swan]

Yeah

[crude surge]

That would be a much more welcome rifle in my opinion

[royal swan]

I mean it won't be a good pick for competitive skill but it will sure feel nice to use

[crude surge]

I think they could modernize something like that for the game

[royal swan]

The regular double barrel type shotgun was boringband overused, a rotary double barrel would be great

[hexed mango]

masterkey double barrel please

[crude surge]

I think something more like a chiappa X-Caliber would probably be what they did if they did anything at all

Shit just give me a KSG I'll be happy

More shotguns are welcome as long as they aren't automatic 💀

[royal swan]

We should have an event where we ask devs for gun ideas

And they add them into the game

With rule restrictions like, can't be too similar to a gun already added

Has to be humanly possible to use

Isn't over powered

[hexed mango]

or

suggest it to alex like a normal person

[royal swan]

What do you think this is, terraria?

Alex doesn't even do the weapon models

[lavish patrol]

Playing Kar98 in BFV with irons is fun

[hexed mango]

but he is the weapons designer, and if he wants, he can put forth an action to model, animate, and design all parts of a weapon

he obviously doesnt do it all himself

[royal swan]

Alright, let's see if Alex will agree to add a rotary double barrel rifle/shotgun

[hexed mango]

ask him on twitter or ping him or smth

[royal swan]

Can't ping

[hexed mango]

@ripe hedge add rotary double barrel shotgun?

there i did it for you

[royal swan]

Let's hope the mods are forgiving today

[hexed mango]

(if you have questions, or clarification, please ask @royal swan alex)

[wide shore]

Praying for AN94 in 3.2

[hexed mango]

yes that to

as well as MTAR

[wide shore]

Well. The AN should’ve BEEN in AOW already

[royal swan]

The weird looking ak

[wide shore]

It was like the first batch of Vault weapons mined

Yet it hasn’t dropped yet

[hexed mango]

ikr

[hexed mango]

im more of an mtar type of guy

[wide shore]

That two round hyperburst is perfect for my playstyle.

[royal swan]

Since you got perms, show us the rotary action rifle

[lavish patrol]

It's not an AK, it's an AN

[wide shore]

Aggressive but not too aggressive

[wide shore]

What’s that

[hexed mango]

gym bro didnt want to go today

[wide shore]

One of these bad boys?

[royal swan]

Yeah

[wide shore]

They are pretty

[royal swan]

The double barrel may be a better alternative but the satisfaction of using a mechanism that requires a turn and lock, OOOH

[wide shore]

Something about guns with 2 triggers just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

It is very sleek

[royal swan]

Put it in utility, you can fire either rifle rounds or shotgun rounds

Should be fairly balanced

[wide shore]

Mm. Like the drilling

Wish I had better aim. The drilling is so neat but I can’t use it cause I suck

[royal swan]

Yes like the drilling

The drilling was the most balanced shotgun in bfv

[wide shore]

Not saying much lol

[white geyser]

Man would it hurt them to add the double barrel shotguns in 2042? so I can use it like how the doom slayer use it

[wide shore]

We need an over under

I don’t recall there being ANY over unders in Battlefield

Least none that I’ve played

Dice always does side by side double barrels

[tough folio]

bro i reinstalled the game, and its still not working

and this is happens after i get confirmation email of ea taking action against a cheater

wouldnt put it past them to make the game not work directly after buying it

[idle lion]

where can i invite people to join my portal server

[tough folio]

bro wth happened, it just wont connect no matter what i do

i guess i sleep on it till the update comes

#streams-and-videos message

[crimson basin]

Also add mackay's hook as an attachment

[kindred flint]

double barrel shotguns are too outdated for 2042 bro

single action revolvers though are all the rage

and a lever action shooting a 45-70 that totally not out of place

[white geyser]

First of battlefield is not meant to be real and second, they add the BF3 and BC2 weapons that look kind of outdated

[topaz field]

that's the AC-42 dad

i've been getting wrecked lately by xbox players on my ps4 either they use cronus or the update 3.1.2 gave them btter aim

[hearty flame]

if they want to add a cool double barrel bring back the neostad 2000 from bc1. that was pretty neat

[white geyser]

There are weapons they should bring back in 2042 from the previous modern battlefield games

[hearty flame]

too bad 2042 started so poorly that they had to spend half its lifespan fixing itself rather than adding to itself

[white geyser]

If only the game wasn't rush and it would have been better if they decided to release it in 2022 and not 2021

They still need to add more content to fix it

[hearty flame]

even if they didnt rush it it still wouldnt solve a lot of the issues that were present at launch
bad maps, limited weapons, specialists, probably still have balancing issues
but hey the netcode probably wouldnt shit itself

and maybe itd be less buggy

Two hit kill at close range. One to the head.

ah

[granite island]

I hope they start updating hazard zone again

[next onyx]

Dude flicked at me at the right time hah.

[hexed mango]

i dont

[granite island]

I'm sad that it was abandoned

[next onyx]

The 2x scope a bit stupid but still.

[granite island]

Because when I play it it's actually fun

[hexed mango]

i can still barely play the game way
probably gonna watch a movie or smth for the rest of the day seeing as my arm is acting again

[next onyx]

That's fair.

Oh.

I hope you the best.

[granite island]

They should add spearhead to hazard zone

[hexed mango]

eh it doesnt look like its getting better

[next onyx]

@hexed mango

[granite island]

Even if it is a straight line of chaos

[hearty flame]

huh couldve sworn it was in 1
just checked and ya it was in 1

[hexed mango]

a-10 sexy

what mode is that

[white geyser]

Better tell them if they ran out weapons from the previous battlefield games to add in AOW, they should not only adding BF4 in the portal but why not add the BF4 vehicles and its attachments in AOW, if they couldn't come up a new vehicle to create.

[hexed mango]

is it one of the war sims

damn the agm view on the frogfoot messes me up

[sharp marten]

It’s beautiful

[dusk forum]

whats the

fastest way to get mastery for guns

[hexed mango]

do the first 12 tiers in solo/coop and then kill people for the next 28

[tough folio]

is 3.2 coming tomorrow?

[hexed mango]

nobody knows

[dusk forum]

Probaly next week

[hexed mango]

just listen to #direct-communication

[dusk forum]

I remember someone did a troll and posted the patch notes from last year for 3.2

saying it would come the 20th

funniest shit ever

[hexed mango]

if next week; it will be on monday only, which isn’t likely as updates are usually thursday or tuesday

[hexed mango]

really not that funny

[tough folio]

why, tuesday still the 31

[hexed mango]

the next podcast, next monday, is about what was in 3.2

[dusk forum]

My humor is broking

[hexed mango]

so 3.2 has to release before or right as the podcast releases

[tough folio]

then it is mostly next week, guess i cant play the game

dumb bug

[hexed mango]

it’ll be this week on thursday most likely

[dusk forum]

Yeah

[hexed mango]

seeing again as how updates don’t usually go out on monday

[dusk forum]

This week or next week less they shadow drop it

[hexed mango]

there’s a chance it’s on monday, but unlikely seeing as they will be gone on the weekend and won’t release the patch notes

[hexed mango]

they wouldn’t shadow drop an update this big, and they don’t shadow drop updates ever

also again, it can’t be next week

[dusk forum]

I GOT EXECUTED BY A FUCKING AI

AHHHH

[hexed mango]

cause monday is the only possible day, and while monday has a slight chance, it’s not as likely as thursday

[tough folio]

if they do a podcast about the update monday, then i'd think it presumes the role of patch notes, making it a clear entry for the 31 which is the last tuesday of january, be it the last day of january

[tough wolf]

how?

every update in the past as always dropped on tuesday iirc

[radiant prism]

you fool

Did it Tbag you?

I remember seeing back in the beta there was a clip where bots tbag after doing that

[dusk forum]

unfortnatetly no

I wish they kept that

JUST to add salt to the wound

[granite island]

I hated when they tbagged after execution

It was so mean

Some ai threw grenades at my corpse during the beta

[dusk forum]

L

[dapper river]

They would've already released the notes if the update was going out tomorrow. It's either gonna ship this Thursday (unlikely) or Tuesday the 31st. Or fuck it, February 7

[dusk forum]

Yeah

They’ll probaly push it into February maybe

alright

[hexed mango]

tuesdays and thursdays for major updates

[next onyx]

Tuesday the 31st literal last day of January.

[hexed mango]

hence exactly why i said monday isn’t likely. it’s possible they drop the patch notes on monday and talk about it in the podcast, as again the podcast today literally said that the next one (this next monday) would go over everything in 3.2, hence it would stand to reason that the podcast comes out after the update

[tough wolf]

SCUM. scum of the earth. it has to be the 31st

[hexed mango]

not necessarily

[tough wolf]

assuming they dont delay it, then it surely it's the 31st

[hexed mango]

this thursday fits. and quite honestly it might be this thursday cause for some reason in the past the updates have been one on tuesday, and the next on thursday and continue flipping, and the last one we got (3.1) was on the tuesday (technically wednesday morning but the notes released on tuesday)

[tough wolf]

and if they delay it...

[hexed mango]

they won’t

[tough wolf]

hmm. good point

🤞

[hexed mango]

we’ll see

[noble pelican]

I feel like the ak24 needs a fire rate buff since it has less range then the sfar, but the same fire rate. Even if you equip high power it still has a lower range then the sfar standard issue which would then leave the sfar with a higher rate of fire.

[tough folio]

i wonder if the update will automatically refresh my game and let me connect to the servers

[noble pelican]

Buff the ak24 dice

[tough folio]

doesnt the ak have better accuracy by default, i would assume thats the trade off

[noble pelican]

Not really like all ar's are extremely accurate and have low recoil

The trade off sucks

buff the ak

[tough folio]

i wont understand people who say that the 2042 flying controls were the problem, and that bf4 flying is way more instincual. lol i hadnt flown in bf4 in forever, but i remember playing the 2042 beta and picking up the flying instantly

[next onyx]

The ak kills well from what I've seen. Just need to aim.

The flying in 2042 suffers from an input delay, with some floatyness behind it.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the aks power but it's not bad.

[long zinc]

Whens the class update

[next onyx]

31st approx.

[noble pelican]

The ak is straight up worse then the sfar is 95% of ways...

[tough folio]

it also suffers from the bugged flight assist that you cant turn off on the controller

i wonder if unbinding it would fix the issue

[scenic tartan]

lmaooooo they cant be serious with giving rao soflam locks on vehicles he hacks
cant be serious

[chilly jacinth]

every gun sucks compared to the Sfar

[scenic tartan]

rip to vehicle play in battlefield

[next onyx]

They're most likely going to accommodate his hacking ability.

[scenic tartan]

accommodate? to who? people who dont have a keyboard

[next onyx]

Wait no I put in the wrong word.

[noble pelican]

Buff The Ak?

[scenic tartan]

rao is the most boring specialist in the game and they give him overpowered abilities now

[next onyx]

I meant ok.

They're most likely going to tweak around the actual hack itself.

I was thinking of accommodate because of other things.

[noble pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/bh187-family-guy-peter-griffin-cry-crying-gif-21484928

[tough folio]

say buff the ak one more time, and ill start advocating for the stealth heli to have more health

[scenic tartan]

have they considered that there is a bug still in the game where pilots become hacked with zero warning

and that if you soflam lock pilots when they are hacked they cannot flare incoming missiles

therefore pilots will die without warning to one hit recoilless rifles

[noble pelican]

Ok Skull

[next onyx]

I can try to ask what they are doing to his hack.

The actual disable.

If they're going to make him this powerful they should lessen his actual hack.

[scenic tartan]

they need to stop watching top tier pilots and thinking thats what they should balance the game around

I'm a pretty average pilot and by the time i get 4-5 kills half the enemy team has switched kit to kill me and there's a wildcat plus a railgun tank sniping me from 600m away already

[next onyx]

Can't help but feel guilty cause I might of recommended the laser designation.

[scenic tartan]

I just want to fly a helicopter and use AGM on enemy tanks to help the team
I'm not farming infantry with the minguns and pods getting 100 kills

[tough folio]

pretty sure hack disables flares in general, so unless your talking to where its permanent, its pretty much intentionsl i believe

[chilly jacinth]

get good and you'll die less

[scenic tartan]

but skull if you have a hack warning as its incoming you can flare and run. right now there's a bug where very often the hack happens without any indicator or warning.

[hybrid totem]

Wouldn't it be wonderful if after a certain k/d you were restricted to only servers with other high k/d people

[next onyx]

Eh no.

[hybrid totem]

We could call it the battolympics

[magic bloom]

way would never find a match

[scenic tartan]

I wish soflam went back to line of sight instead of being a lock and look away type mechanic

[tough folio]

ahh i havent had that happened, i usually lookfor both cues and circumstantially flare if i here one of the cues

[idle lion]

why not?

[hybrid totem]

I would be ok with this

[idle lion]

its literally the only way to make this game fun

[scenic tartan]

Soflam can be very strong but I if its a laser designator it should require line of sight to the target

[magic bloom]

i like fighting good players

[hybrid totem]

Like I'm pretty darn good at the game, but I don't regularly run 50-3

[scenic tartan]

battlefield doesnt need skill based matchmaking, its fun because it doesnt have that

[magic bloom]

when i actually fight and only go for kills i drop 50+

with like 4 deaths

[scenic tartan]

people need to worry less about k/d and worry about objectives and winning

[tough folio]

pretty much the community you gotta play against lol. not everygame will be perfect

[chilly jacinth]

you still meet good players even in completely random lobbies

[hybrid totem]

Not skill-based matchmaking. Are you one of those who equates k/d to skill?

[idle lion]

mans needs some grass

[chilly jacinth]

as a good player

[noble pelican]

Why does this game have zero recoil

?

[idle lion]

are you playing with controller

[noble pelican]

yes

[magic bloom]

i hardly play this game its just a skill issue.

[idle lion]

controller has almost 0 recoil

[hybrid totem]

The only way I go 50-3 is with assists as a condor/hind pilot

[tough folio]

well i kept getting s300+ helisweats while my team were bots, and even an s867. idk what you mean by fun. i wont deny that they are more skilled

[next onyx]

Controller does have recoil but it's easier to control because the recoil bug was tweaked.

[hybrid totem]

oh yeah I've run into that s867

I usually just leave that lobby

[magic bloom]

i mostly meant ground fighters but i get what your saying

[scenic tartan]

hey man everyone gets teams that are bots

[idle lion]

back in when i lived in Europe there was almost 0 sweats(obviously there were some but they werent in literally EVERY SINGLE MATCH)

[scenic tartan]

its not that hard to get 50 kills as infantry in this game there are so many clueless players

[hybrid totem]

Just let all the ppl who play the game too much play together, and if someone wants to test themselves they can play there too

[scenic tartan]

you see all those players on the bottom of your team going 2-15 at the end of the match every team has em

[tough folio]

lol i ran into an apache main on stranded, who was able to keep up with my su57, and track missiles insanely well

[idle lion]

and tell me do you think those players will stay and populate the game or will they leave

[magic bloom]

attack helicopter pilots deserve the world

[placid echo]

I have a friend who is a Transport Pilot main who tends to chase after every air vehicle and win

[scenic tartan]

not my business they should get good

I do not want to play a game that dumbs itself down to accomodate people who are barely paying attention or are drunk or stoned and cant even think

[magic bloom]

ive done it

[idle lion]

they leave, thats why we have issues with OCE region being fucking EMPTY and filled with sweats

[hybrid totem]

This requires good gunners, which are even more rare than outlevel players

[scenic tartan]

well.. uh, bye?

what you want the game to be easier so everyone gets a trophy like call of duty?

[hybrid totem]

When you have a good pilot and good gunners, the transport rules the skies

[tough folio]

nah, that would just make matchmaking more sweaty in general and limit possible servers. you have more chance of not running into a full sweat match with the game matching indescriminately

[idle lion]

no i want the game to have some sembelence of balance

[scenic tartan]

the transports can outgun almost anything in the air if you have two gunners easily

[hybrid totem]

Even just minigunners, as long as they know how to keep em from overheating

[idle lion]

there is no balance when the game puts an S800 in a lobby with level 30 player

[hybrid totem]

But you do need a good pilot who knows the range in which their guns can shoot

[scenic tartan]

this is always how battlefield has been and how it should be. there is no team balancing

[hybrid totem]

Persistent servers WAS team balancing

[magic bloom]

but when theres 63 other enemies its fine because its about scale

[scenic tartan]

custom servers did sometimes balance teams but only because they were uneven in player count

[idle lion]

and guess what happened to BF4 because of that? in OCE there are only 3 active servers that are ever active for 5 hours max and in Europe and NA its filled with servers that use fake players

[scenic tartan]

yall are insane if you think this is a problem that needs fixing that wont cause even more issues

watering down the game isnt going to make more players in OCE. you are just a tiny region that struggles with playerbase due to the realities of oceans

[magic bloom]

most peoples opinion about this game are bad including mine

[idle lion]

Mate have you played any other game in OCE like CSGO

its not as empty as your making it out to be

[scenic tartan]

so you want battlefield to somehow become the most popular game on steam

[idle lion]

not saying most popular game on steam and no CSGO isnt the most pop game on steam either

[scenic tartan]

this sounds like a skill issue

[magic bloom]

it had the most players a month or two ago

[idle lion]

this sounds to me like someone who doesnt enjoy a challenge so hed rather play against lower skilled players while sitting in his moms basement

[next onyx]

Rank doesn't mean anything. I've had people lower rank than me beat my ass consistently.

[scenic tartan]

you're right it just means how much you play or how much you sit in ammo xp farm servers

[next onyx]

Yet in the saying of that. Higher skilled players are definitely more experienced but they can be total dogshit.

[magic bloom]

like im gonna do if i can get in your servers

[next onyx]

You'll be fighting the server rejection more than ME!

[idle lion]

im not legit meaning rank im meaning skill level i was saying level 30 and s800 cause the skill level would definitly be much different between those two

[tough folio]

except, this isnt some particular 4v4 arena shooter with energy shields. theres literally 64 players on a team. if you want it to be equal balance, that would make it to where you have to sweat your hardest to outplay the enemy team putting in the same effort, and then suffer the engine trying to balance your skill with other noobs.

without sbmm, this creates for casual matches which people want, where the game isnt trying to blow their brains out, and just pits you agaisnt who ever is availabe to match. so there is no guerantee if you will win or lose, only randomness

[next onyx]

Experience wise yes.

[magic bloom]

thats a battle worth fighting way

[next onyx]

Seriously though I played with Twiggs over in the U.S and had to go the LCMG with the short barrel.

IT's the only thing that worked.

[tough folio]

you do know smurfs and cheaters exists right

[next onyx]

Don't need to deal with servo rejection when you're sending 200 rounds down range.

[scenic tartan]

no, this isnt a reliable way to measure player skill at all

[idle lion]

casual matches where people sweat?

that makes no sense

look at the player boards in any of your games and tell me its a "casual game"

[scenic tartan]

its always the top 10-20 that are trying and then various blueberries that just run around and mess around after that

[magic bloom]

people just need to stop sucking its that simple really

[next onyx]

It's a per region issue.

[idle lion]

maybe you need to go out for once

[next onyx]

Can you just stop.

[magic bloom]

i do

you literal clown

[chilly jacinth]

It's not often i see multiple good players in each team

[magic bloom]

[tough folio]

what? if you cant handle getting good at the game to not die by a passerby casper, then i wouldnt recommend this game for you.

[magic bloom]

this game is so easy...

[tough folio]

no need to blame better players for just being "better"

[magic bloom]

if its not your first 5 hours playing its easy to learn

[scenic tartan]

people dont know how to stay on a point in breakthrough defense

its always like 2 players defending and lose

[tough folio]

i literally can get first place by passivly throwing prox sensors and dropping 40 kills from cover. no sweat required

[magic bloom]

this

[scenic tartan]

this is the way, just get those assists

[next onyx]

I JUST GET THEM KILLS.

AWOOGA AWOOGA.

[magic bloom]

way you just have the better gaming chair

[next onyx]

Doom chair!

[magic bloom]

is there any exodus conquest in breakaway?

i feel like i never found any breakaway map

discarded

hourglass

in exodus conquest

[tough folio]

prop not, they are all the worst maps anyways

[azure basalt]

i dont mind those maps i just getting the same map over and over again

always got same map like 3 times in a row

[hybrid totem]

Sounds like seasons conquest by a different name

[arctic grove]

this is where server browser comes in handy

exclude out repetitive shit

[tough folio]

exodus conquest is up currently, iirc.

[tough folio]

i gotta filter out the 60 percent of hardcore servers lol

[arctic grove]

let me only see rush servers pls

[dark night]

The battlpass double xp activates when you get into a match right?

[royal swan]

The xp only activates in match

So when the match stops, the xp timer stops

When the match starts, so does the timer

Its a nice mechanic to have

[upbeat sand]

man screw games that just leaves it on always

[idle lion]

ah yes ofc 2 jet missles plus an entire minigun overheat straight into the body of a superhind is somehow not enough to kill it

perfectly balanced.

[hexed mango]

its taxi driver time

at this point im just gonna use the jet itself as a missile

as one should

[eager spire]

okay but you can't just assume that every single person on PC that's doing well is cheating you have to have definitive proof of this, otherwise you just look very stupid, as you've always done every single time you bring this topic up.

[arctic grove]

alright so im upgrading my graphics card, and I have a general question

the game ran alright on a 1660 Super, which is what im using now. I am upgrading to an RTX 3060, and im hoping it helps with FPS loss during storms like the tornado

does anyone have any thoughts or experience on that change, graphically or FPS wise

[robust relic]

i have RTX 2070 SUPER and im getting 120 fps all of the time i play everything on "Low" settings and 1920x1080 res.

still looks good tho

[arctic grove]

okay nice, im using an i5-10400F as a CPU which has proven to be really good for everything ive played so far, so hopefully that and the 3060 will both be excellent together

and by everything, I mean all 560 games in my steam library with no issues

im just hoping this GPU helps with some of the frame drops ive been having on my 1660 Super.

[robust relic]

Yeah but i have a problem with cooling tho

[arctic grove]

(Im trying to futureproof my pc as much as possible because drivers are slowly becoming rare and my gpu is obsolete)

[robust relic]

i have ryzen 7 3700x

[arctic grove]

uhh lets go to technology channel

#technology

[ebon pilot]

is there something i'm missing with the pbx like i keep hearing people talk about how it's the best gun and they're running around getting crazy kills with it but imma be honest this gun fucking sucks

[hexed mango]

my computer randomly likes to quack at me when i hit certain keys

[ebon pilot]

i can't figure it out

[hexed mango]

like sometimes in game when i toggle voip (alt) it just quacks

and just now while i was setting up a coding env i hit "d" in cmd and it quacked

[ebon pilot]

quacked?

[hexed mango]

🦆

tried googling and could not find anything

idk maybe its something with razer's software (i have a razer headset)

[upbeat sand]

Nexus mods has a battlefield 2042 page now

[hexed mango]

cant really mod the game tho

[next onyx]

Oh that's the reshade.

I'd avoid modifying files for a multiplayer game just incase.

[hexed mango]

yeah was gonna say it looks like its just reshade on there

and a "performance fix"

[next onyx]

Probably just a bunch of scripts to run commands so you gain a bit of performance.

https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/4169/images/3/3-1669482432-850045120.png

It's kind of nice.

The game looks clearer.

If I had to say, It looks like it ups the contrast but it makes sure to keep it visible.

When I increase the contrast on my GPU the game looked nicer but it was difficult to read text that glowed.

Still wouldn't run in just in case because I don't want to be banned.

[hexed mango]

yeah nah not risking it for some visuals i wont really care about

If you have an nvidia card, you can just use game filters to get a similar effect though, if thou like it and don't want third party software

[upbeat sand]

Yeah what does the performance fix thing on nexus even do

It just says edits the regedit and console commands

[ebon pilot]

it edits the regedit

[upbeat sand]

Yeah the cinematic reshade thing on nexus does make it look better

A little bit of the bf3 feeling

kick for easy anticheat policy violated

FFFFFFF

[solemn stratus]

u got kicked for the resahde?

[upbeat sand]

No

it just does it for no reason

Maybe THX audio but I'm not turning that off

I wish companies would just stop using easy anticheat just cause it's easy to implement or something

It's garbage

It dosent even ban or kick cheaters

[robust relic]

[idle lion]

i mean you could mod custom models in BF1 afaik so maybe?

[royal swan]

Just finished note taking for an open note exam tomorrow

Took fuck forever

Still want a rotary double barrel rifle + shotgun in the game

Almost like the drilling from bfv

But with separated ammo and a rotary reload animation

[hexed mango]

bf1 didn’t have eac

nor did bfv

these regedit changes and commands aren’t the same as actual mods

[idle lion]

@next onyx Ultrakill status

[arctic grove]

[tepid yacht]

Avancys won’t unlock after completing tasks? Any info on this?

[broken palm]

what are the best weapons i can use rn as a level 15

[arctic grove]

Try the pbx45 for the start and unlock the attachments in solo it's an easy-to-use beginner smg

[broken palm]

yeah i think ive only been using it so far

[arctic grove]

Ok

[upbeat sand]

did you do it in solo co op?

[arctic grove]

The pp29 or what the name is, is also really good to handle

[tepid yacht]

@upbeat sand no official game mode

[upbeat sand]

was the portal mode's XP Full, restricted or none

[tepid yacht]

@upbeat sand no idea I don’t play portal

[upbeat sand]

ahh so whats a No offical game mode

you can also reply by either right clicking on mouse or holding on the message on mobile

[idle lion]

the sfars range needs to be nerfed into hell

[tepid yacht]

Sorry i meant no I didn’t play solo coop. I only play official game modes.

[upbeat sand]

oh ok

hmm

strange

did you complete the match?

[tepid yacht]

Yes

[upbeat sand]

as in going onto the end of round screen

[tepid yacht]

Spent a few days finishing the tasks and it’s just locked with both tasks completed

[arctic grove]

BTW does anyone know the bf podcast email name?
I would like to send in a question and I didn't wrote the email down.

[upbeat sand]

can you access the weapon in the game?

or is it locked

[tepid yacht]

It’s locked

[upbeat sand]

ive seen somehting like this before in game

maybe you could try finishing a match of portal

which has FULL as its xp

[broken palm]

is it me or does this game lag more when there are 128 players

[tepid yacht]

Ok. I’ll try. Anything else if that doesn’t work?

[upbeat sand]

other than that all you cna do is finish rounds and hope you get the you unlocked it notif

[arctic grove]

I didn't notice any lag maybe because I'm not playing it natively

[broken palm]

i mean like stuttering

and stuff like that

[arctic grove]

I get some render stuttering sometimes tough

[broken palm]

i got an rtx 2070s and ryzen 5 3600

[tepid yacht]

Ok. Thanks

[burnt lark]

BALENZA1

[arctic grove]

Maybe look it up on Google and try to update your drivers and all

[broken palm]

oh yea i havent updated them in a while

ill try that

[arctic grove]

Defragmentation should also help from time to time

[broken palm]

what is that

[arctic grove]

I can't explain that too well but it has something to do with data xd

[broken palm]

ill google it

[arctic grove]

Yes

And cache clearing is also useful on pc if you do that now and then then you have no problems

[broken palm]

yeah ill do all that

[arctic grove]

Good

[idle lion]

lmao theres heavy thunderstorms in the hills area of sydney and it knocked the fucking net out mid sniping someone

[arctic grove]

Damn how dare the storm even the weather has no respect nowadays 🤪

[idle lion]

legit

[arctic grove]

Xd

[idle lion]

itd be cool if at the end of BT if the Attackers won then there would be a final section where the defenders had to defend till transport Helis came and picked them up

similiar to Titanfall2 and SWBF2 escape sequences

[broken palm]

i updated the drivers and the stuttering kinda got worse

interesting

[arctic grove]

Hmm, interesting indeed 🤔
Maybe it's your connection and the area.

Try to restart your router and maybe use ethernet instead of Wi-Fi

[pine roost]

is it visual stuttering or network stuttering?

[broken palm]

visual

not network

my fps drops

im literally running on low graphics and its 60 fps and goes up a little

and still stutters

[uncut bay]

specs?

[broken palm]

idk what is happening

rtx 2070s and ryzen 5 3600

[uncut bay]

the game is cpu heavy, try putting the graphics up

use fps monitoring software if you have it

i found that med-high is better than low for me

[broken palm]

hmm

i think its the same

i think i changed something cause like

it wasnt this bad

a day ago

[arctic grove]

If you know what you changed change it back

[azure basalt]

Does anyone also got random server lag like it turn your game into slow motion

[broken palm]

idk what i changed

[arctic grove]

That's the only issue I have with the game every now and then

[arctic grove]

Hmm

[broken palm]

i’m pretty sure i just had my preset graphics

medium

and idk what happened

i changed something and put it back to the preset

and it got worse

and somehow after the driver update it got worse

[arctic grove]

Oh boy better don't change anything anymore for now except for maybe the graphic settings to default.

Or check the drivers again idk 🤷‍♂️

[broken palm]

yea idk

[arctic grove]

Sorry

[broken palm]

it’s ok

[arctic grove]

Have you tried reinstall the game?

[broken palm]

nope

i’ll try it

[idle lion]

it annoys me so much when for some reason my entire team keeps switching after taking 1 of the BT points in a 2 BT point sector

[arctic grove]

Ok

[idle lion]

like the actual strat is to split half half

meanwhile everyone on my team just abandons the point

[arctic grove]

typical FPS game that has objective gameplay, you'll notice this is common cuz they only care about XP

[idle lion]

i wish rush 128 was an actual gamemode from DICE

[arctic grove]

i can hardly run 128 servers , i need a new CPU lol

[idle lion]

wut cpu do u have

[arctic grove]

Class system will hopefully change that

Ryzen 5 3600

there known for over heating

[idle lion]

try limiting what % your cpu is running at

im using a 5500 and i was running into huge fps issues until i limited my CPU state

[arctic grove]

cant its a prebuilt and im locked out of even changing voltage

[idle lion]

no no

you can use windows 10 power options

[arctic grove]

oh

[idle lion]

look for Maximum Processor state in your options

[arctic grove]

ya tldr my CPU in 128 breakthrough goes 90C but only in battle

ok

[idle lion]

it should not heat that much after you limit its state and it should give you an fps boost

[arctic grove]

ty

[idle lion]

for me it was a big fps boost, might be a bit smaller since you are using an older CPU but who knows

[idle lion]

it wont..

[arctic grove]

ya idk how to mess with bios so i got a prebuilt sadly for $1k a OMEN Gaming HP computer, its ok but struggles in 3-4 games i play, i.e. 2042, planetside 2 and few otheres, hell i cant even load planetside 2 without my PC going crazy hot lol

[idle lion]

bro you got scammed

[arctic grove]

i bought it at best buy

[idle lion]

you shouldve gotten a 1.2k gaming pc from Aftershock PCs(i think thats what their called)

[arctic grove]

It might because everyone will have a clear role to play

ya saving for a new PC anyway so ill write that down

[idle lion]

this is a team level issue not a squad level issue

did you find the option btw or do you need help?

[arctic grove]

oh let me look it up, but i need coffee really quick 1sec

[idle lion]

ok

[arctic grove]

got like 2 hours of sleep last night cuz of my damn RA

[idle lion]

RA?

[arctic grove]

Rheumatoid arthritis

its in my legs sadly

but ya coffee brb

[idle lion]

ah man, that sucks...

[broken palm]

how much should i limit it

i got a ryzen 5 3600 too

[idle lion]

i run it at 70%

you can try that too

[broken palm]

yeah ill try that

what about minimum

should i change it

[arctic grove]

back

[idle lion]

it wont matter since max is gonna be 70

if you are worried you can set it to 70 too

[broken palm]

alright

[idle lion]

(unless you are on a laptop then you should set min to 0)

[arctic grove]

ok, so when does this "ep.2" from bf youtube come out today?

[idle lion]

ep2 already?

[arctic grove]

let me check 1sec

ah nvm its on the 30th

https://twitter.com/BFBulletin/status/1617526963375161344

[idle lion]

damn

oh well

did the thing improve performance btw?

also Ren were you getting slow motion from time to time?

[arctic grove]

well im not in game atm since i just woke up but will test it in a bit

and no

no slow motion

[idle lion]

i was getting that and this fixed that too
