battlefield-2042

[upbeat sand]

I'd imagine tracer darts would let you lock on under 30m

[uncut bay]

it's a transport, it shouldn't have a 50mm cannon strapped to it. The changes they made were good but it should've been removed altogether

yeah but that's not of much use if they're far away

it's just more needless protection for helicopters

[grave prism]

they should put a tank cannon on the heli instead

[snow badge]

True

[grave prism]

https://tenor.com/view/flying-tank-gif-13395956

[uncut bay]

put a tank on the helicopter

[snow badge]

Flamethrowers also

[upbeat sand]

That's the entire point

You get something from staying under 30m but also risking being hit by an m5 potential

[snow badge]

Add bfv’s flamethrower to AOW

[upbeat sand]

Geneva convention

[uncut bay]

there is literally no risk from dumb fire launchers if you're any decent distance from the player

which is easy with how large the maps are

[snow badge]

Is that still a thing in 2042

With no pats and all that

[upbeat sand]

Probably

[uncut bay]

geneva probably stopped existing

[inner roost]

Stealth Helis get flare or repair, this is good

[snow badge]

Kill stealth heli mains

[uncut bay]

remove stealth helicopters

[upbeat sand]

Apache is better

[snow badge]

Based…

[upbeat sand]

For some reason I've been seeing more bird players

I haven't seen a stealth hele in weeks

[snow badge]

The apache is cool as fuck

[upbeat sand]

The Apache needs the 30mm tho

Like the super hokum

[toxic wigeon]

Hmm

[wide shore]

LETS FUCKING GO

[grave prism]

DANG they aren't useless now

[wide shore]

Finally!

[wide shore]

They also won’t be able to see their bomb crosshair above 400m

No more in orbit stealth heli bombing motherfuckers

[inner roost]

Man these update notes are fat asf

Genuinely looking forward to the meta shakeup

[shy latch]

what?

[errant scarab]

"classes"

Hahahah

[sharp marten]

Buddy they’ve always fixed classes

[grave prism]

Fixed an issue where aim sensitivity is too high when zooming in with a vehicle weapon.

I KNEW I WASNT INSANE

[sharp marten]

Here comes mercury to shit talk classes then she’ll just say drop support for 2042 and make new game

[errant scarab]

1 year and 2 months after its release, I don't see that it looks like a battlefield as I expected, the game doesn't feel like a war, it looks very childish

[idle lion]

fix? nah they just changed it to another way of teamworking

[spiral folio]

Don't get too excited. I liked the rex and they ruined it

[idle lion]

then BF3 and 4 also childish

[errant scarab]

Engineers have a specialty in LMG, are you kidding me?

[sharp marten]

Explain how it looks childish give me your wisdom on game development please

[errant scarab]

Noooo wtf

[idle lion]

ever seen a real life army engineer?

well sure, for me its just a shakeup

[spiral folio]

If we're goin by real engineer its m4s for everyone or m5s in this era

Smg still makes more sense for an engineer

Since engineers are for breaching walls and explosives etc

[idle lion]

not really, most engis use LMGs irl but also are trained in Assualt Rifles

[errant scarab]

See u in the NEXT battlefield game.

[idle lion]

k bye

[acoustic seal]

who was in here last night telling me mouse input was fixed? you'll never guess what showed up in the patch notes again

[sharp marten]

Alright bye can’t wait to see you again when the next major update drops so you can complain about a game you seem to not play

[spiral folio]

Ive never heard of engineers using lmgs but ok

Makes more sense for the ammo guy to be the gun with the most ammo

Im sure they figured
"Medic needs a quick draw weapon"
Yea but ammo guy
"Eh whatever"

Why not 5 classes
"Get out of here psychopath"

[errant scarab]

"Classes" only gadgets

[spiral folio]

Yea crazy we'd need 5 classes of weapons for that

[errant scarab]

Specialist still there

[frosty mural]

Sad face - basically when you're not in stealth you're swiss cheese

[errant scarab]

when i play bf4 it feels an abysmal quality, the graphics, the sound, the soldiers, destructions... feels like a war

[frosty mural]

how you breaching walls when you are taking out tanks

[shy latch]

on the patch notes nothing is written about the ads bug with the sfar, I hope they stealth fixed it

[wide shore]

There’ll be less stingers with the class changes. But even still. Stealth Helis were way too survivable.

[frosty mural]

Lis took care of em 🙂

[spiral folio]

How are you attacking tanks when you have to carry a LMG+rocket launcher+rockets

[wide shore]

If they could.

[frosty mural]

easy, you put down armor piercing rounds and lay fire

[idle lion]

What? Bf4 literally feels like 2042 and 2042 feels like 4 but without weapon limitations

[wide shore]

Stealth helis are a bitch to hit with her rocket

[frosty mural]

99% of my kills are on nightbirds and stealth choppers with her rocket

[errant scarab]

Nooo wtf dude

[frosty mural]

love it.

I wish they added an AT4 rocket

[spiral folio]

Combat engineers are the guys that c4 a locked door or blow out a wall or blew charges to break a barbed wire line etc

[spiral folio]

AP rounds vs a tank just rell a tank where to shoot

[errant scarab]

bf4 is too far

[idle lion]

Dw the new tracer dart and rao upgrade will remove them if they dare stay

[errant scarab]

Running like cod 😑😑

[frosty mural]

I wonder if popping smoke removes the tracer dart like BC2

[idle lion]

I played 4 hell my most played game last year according to steam was bf2042

[frosty mural]

god, that game was balanced as fuck - except for the slug spas-12

[idle lion]

I mean itd make sense

But for air vehicles they are screwed lmao

[errant scarab]

Childish game

[idle lion]

I meant to say 4 here

But whatever

And i still think its the same as 2042

Just with too many limitations

The classes in 2042 seem to be better

[errant scarab]

My god my eyes, you already saw those skins that will come now it is a call of duty in every sense

[spiral folio]

Call of duty didnt invent everything

[errant scarab]

This game is more cod than bf i swear

[spiral folio]

Like when people think cod invented skull masks or something

Where do ya think they got it from

Its like saying cod invented the sherman tank

[idle lion]

My brother in christ have you actually seen the skins

[wide shore]

Oh it’s just Mercury being Mercury again

[errant scarab]

Tactical run like cod

3 person takedown like cod

Cut parachute and open again like cod

[spiral folio]

I dont think they even invented 3rd person takedowns

[errant scarab]

Thats why this game look a big downgrade

[spiral folio]

Parachute was bf1942

Bf5 had the crouch run

[errant scarab]

of battlefield only has the name

[wide shore]

Parachuting wasnt even a thing in COD MP until Warzone.

[spiral folio]

CoD stopped being original the second it went modern

[errant scarab]

which battlefield can you open and close it whenever you want while it falls? I only play since bad company 2

[wide shore]

Not to mention MW19 stole battlefields whole fuckin flow. Word for word bar for bar with Ground War

They steal from eachother. Get over it

[errant scarab]

frostbite is a very powerful engine to get this shit out

Triple a game

Whatever bye

[errant scarab]

here they say that 2042 is the same as bf4 I wonder if they have a brain

[wide shore]

It’s not the same as BF4. Thankfully

[idle lion]

i wonder if you have eyes and ears

[mossy badge]

Which skin is making battlefield cod

[wide shore]

It’s much more balanced, and has better gunplay than BF4.

[errant scarab]

believe me, 90% of battlefield fans don't like this game

[spiral folio]

2042 and bf4 are the same general setting and have some common weapons i guess

[inner roost]

Y'all who call 2042 cod haven't played cod much and it shows

[errant scarab]

Dm

[wide shore]

Literally “trust me bro”

[spiral folio]

"Modern with some future stuff" is bound to have some overlap

[mossy badge]

ok 👌

[idle lion]

well thats quite literally false

[mossy badge]

Literally fact

[wide shore]

Mercury always comes in here spewing some nonsense. It’s their brand.

[inner roost]

Try some MW2 ground war bro 🤣 you'll be surprised how much better 2042 conquest is

[spiral folio]

90% would be like "you can never find a full server" not "aw geez i i met a guy who doesnt like it"

[pastel loom]

I'm not a fan of both genres mixing
there needs to be a clear contrast
either modern or far future, no near future stuff

[mossy badge]

Dude everyone has their opinion

You say yours

She says hers

[solid imp]

COD continues to lose me with the obsession with killstreaks to keep fanning the flames of "KD is all that matters"

[spiral folio]

Id rather avoid future stuff myself it creates hard to balance stuff

Random example like... a bat grapple

[wide shore]

They say the same thing every single time they come in. It’s not an opinion at this point. They don’t argue. It’s bait.

[acoustic seal]

2042 movement is better than mw22's movement, which is wild to think about considering merely pressing the strafe keys feels bad in this game

[inner roost]

Straight, playing obj gets nothing in cod unless you take a specific perk, but it take so long to stack

[errant scarab]

Its awful but... Look more like a war

[mossy badge]

You can block them not everyone here likes it they express their views

You express yours

[wide shore]

Constructively. Not to procure bait. It’s just rage bait trolling.

[inner roost]

Idk, have you seen the skins people rock in MW2 lately? I say 2042 looks more reasonable for war scenario

[pastel loom]

then 100% modern it is
like mw19 and mwii did
judging by the year and timeline they're set in

[errant scarab]

I don't like cod, I used to play warzone but not anymore, I'm a battlefield player and it hurts what it has become

[mossy badge]

No it's what you think

She loves battlefield

And she express her views

Just like you

[inner roost]

Ye I don't like the turn series made either, but I'm gonna stick with it since it's still good fun for me

[mossy badge]

It's just her points are negative

[errant scarab]

Damn I love battlefield, and it hurts so bad

[spiral folio]

1918-1950 is where id rather be

[mossy badge]

Doesn't mean she is baiting

[spiral folio]

Maybe 1960

[mossy badge]

[solid imp]

👀 seems like we're talking as much about the conversation meta as much as participating in the conversation itself 👀

[wide shore]

My man. You can look at their post history. They have been doing this for months. It’s just blanket statements.

[solid imp]

My man zain is getting thermals on airburst, I'm doing fine today

[hollow iris]

If battlefield became cod then cod became battlefield first I can't compare any cod I've played

[arctic grove]

Does anyone else feel like 2042 could’ve been great

[mossy badge]

Here people trash talk about cod tooo they are also rage baiting trolling???

[inner roost]

I'm just glad we getting some proper balancing and improvements across the board

[inner roost]

Everyone does, I'd say it's getting there slowly

[solid imp]

several hundred hours in, I'm glad it got there 🙂

[mossy badge]

Read this trash opinion

[solid imp]

yikes

[errant scarab]

I'm resisting in bf4 bf1 bfv... I don't think I can resist another bf failure, playing the same game for years without anything new is boring

[inner roost]

3.2 might be the start of great imo

[mossy badge]

But that mod is also trash talking about a game

[hollow iris]

Will I finally be able to revive everyone as dozer or should I start crying

[solid imp]

well that felt targeted 😦

[inner roost]

Crying

[wide shore]

No. Because this isn’t a COD server. If it was, and I was going in there every day saying “man this game is too much like Battlefield. 90% of COD players hate this game” almost everyday for months, I’d be saying the same thing.

[acoustic seal]

we're still doing speculative fixes for mouse input a year after launch, i don't know about that one

[hollow iris]

:,(

[pastel loom]

when season 5 comes maybe you can have a concrete opinion on this game

[solid imp]

My man, you were just saying it's okay that someone else expressed their views so... stay consistent at least please

[mossy badge]

I am not targeting you I am just saying why someone here whenever talks negative about battlefield they get called troll, baiter

[arctic grove]

the only way for the game to please me is to add tons of portal content and improve AI

[inner roost]

Cuz it's the battlefield discord, if u shit talk cod in cod discord they'd smoke you too 😂

[errant scarab]

I already have my opinion, I don't care if it went wrong at launch... the base of the game speaks

[mossy badge]

As I said you can block her if you can't tolerate her opinion on 2042
She just want the game to become better if the game is not changing her opinion it will be negative if it will become great she will change it

[wide shore]

It’s not even that I don’t like her “opinion” it’s just that it’s the same rage baity nonsense every time.

[mossy badge]

I expressed my views on your opinion then

[errant scarab]

I think all the bf came out with bugs, some more than others but what matters is the base... is the game good? does it have a great development? is it well planned?

[solid imp]

ok

I think we all know the line we're walking

[pastel loom]

[wide shore]

I’ve had plenty, plenty of discussions here with people who don’t like 2042. But they were actual discussions.

[spiral folio]

Weird

[wide shore]

Shit I complain about this game here too

[spiral folio]

I'll remember pre 3.2 fondly

[inner roost]

I thought this game was dogshit before, rightfully so, but it's seriously getting better

[mossy badge]

I had also nice discussion about 2042 talking about maps and what should be the next battlefield game setting

[arctic grove]

are my complaints justified?

[solar tinsel]

pretty much. From looking at the notes, 3.2 is pretty substantial

[wide shore]

3.2 feels like a soft relaunch

[inner roost]

Yeah, gonna be good fun trying all the new stuff out

[solar tinsel]

also, nice to know I wasnt going crazy about aim snap not working on PS5 😂

[solar tinsel]

agreed

[next onyx]

The new changes look good.

[wide shore]

I hope they treat it that way

[inner roost]

Aim felt fucked on ps5 for the longest time because of snap

[pastel loom]

they're subjective so they're ok

[inner roost]

I turned it off long ago

[errant scarab]

See you in the next battlefield

[arctic grove]

I want my gunship back lmao

[errant scarab]

Wait? More inmersion, destruction the game look like a war?

[solar tinsel]

yup, even after the core AA was fixed, snap always felt messed up - now we know why! Same for Lis' rocket steering. I always saw PC clips of Lis rocket doing insane moves

annd wondered why I couldnt replicate that on PS5

[pastel loom]

oh yes
that was really cool in bf3/4

[inner roost]

Now we can hit that shit properly

[wide shore]

I’m excited to see how Lis rocket feels.

I got her T1 on Xbox even with the shit steering

[inner roost]

I complained about lis rocket so much bro I'm glad they acknowledged it being bugged on console

[spiral folio]

What did they change on lis

[solar tinsel]

Between the console fix AND the general buff to turning speed, it should be substantial

[next onyx]

Nah just a game that feels more consistent and fun to play.

[wide shore]

Also increased range by 100m

[inner roost]

Breakaway rework def looks more war-like now

[solar tinsel]

There was a console bug where diagonal turning was too slow, and also in general, turning radius has been increased overall

[arctic grove]

and bring back commander

[solar tinsel]

plus a few other things

[next onyx]

In the small snippet that I saw I did realise hey this game feels more in line with its vision.

[wide shore]

It was faster to turn her rocket by pointing the stick diagonally

[next onyx]

I paid attention to who I'm fighting more.

[spiral folio]

Increased you mean decreased

[next onyx]

Which is good.

[limpid pond]

I heard they're nerfing Mackay finally dude

[limpid pond]

They nerfed paik like 4 times already

[wide shore]

Yeah

[solid imp]

They also made the rocket hit box bigger so easier to shoot down

[next onyx]

Wow look an engineer, I know what they're going to most likely run!

[inner roost]

Mackay got kneecapped

[spiral folio]

Decreased radius means increased turn rate / smaller turn circle

[solid imp]

mackay turned back into a real boy 🙂

[wide shore]

Lol

[snow badge]

Mackay mains when I show them a specialist that actually encourages teamwork

[upper grove]

Lol

[idle lion]

wish mckays grapple hook not attaching to air vehicles would be fixed

[solar tinsel]

"Fixed an issue where Lis’ G-84 TGM missile moved considerably slower diagonally when using a controller."

is the language

[next onyx]

Timed to abuse Mackay and armour.

Break the game.

[wide shore]

Didn’t know that was an issue

[limpid pond]

I'm cool with the nerf cause 80% of Mackay spammers don't use subs anyways

[wide shore]

But. Hopefully for y’all’s sake

[solid imp]

But there's the other one "increased turning angles"

[wide shore]

I don’t really use MacKay

[solid imp]

which sounds like a longer/bigger arc

[spiral folio]

Id like to see a nodded server like unlimited mackay grapple range and no cool down

[limpid pond]

I'm over here getting gunned by a strafing lcmg or something

[inner roost]

Straight up, I don't have a problem with subs just the 200 round LMG mackays

[solar tinsel]

ah I see

[idle lion]

i used to use him alot when his grapple actually grappled to vehicles properly

[solar tinsel]

yeah you might be right

[twin finch]

More vailt weapons?

[limpid pond]

Yeah like the Mackay running a smg are fine

[solar tinsel]

so: fixed console issue, but made it harder to turn overall

[solid imp]

so it can't turn as quickly but the bug on console should at least bring it in line with the design

[twin finch]

*vault

[solid imp]

ye

[idle lion]

nowadays it just throws me off the vehicle once i get to it or it just cancels the grapple

[limpid pond]

But the lmg ones I can't keep my head against

[wide shore]

I’m so happy about this

You have no idea

[solid imp]

that's huge

[inner roost]

Yeah cause SMG requires you to actually play proper engage and disengage, 200 round LMG you just shoot endlessly

[solid imp]

haaaate that right now

[wide shore]

Me too

I love using bipods but sometimes you just forget to switch it back down after using a gadget/grenade/switching guns

[acoustic seal]

this is crazy, mackay was just barely able to get up on the stranded ship and now sniper rats that get up there will have free reign for the entire game

[solid imp]

@solar tinsel but seeing also this one "lowered the turning angle when boost has been activated" so boost is less penalized? I think?

[limpid pond]

Exactly. They're meant to carefully engage while suppressing not gun my smg by strafing

[frosty mural]

like every other BF game? lol

[acoustic seal]

yeah and it sucked then too

[solid imp]

but boost will also go faster at 150m/s instead of the current 100m/s so maybe it will effectively even out the agility of it

[solar tinsel]

Maybe, for all we know they used the wrong words in the notes too. I guess we'll just have to see. In general, it's getting attention which seems good

[wide shore]

I think by lowered it means it will not turn as easy. But it’s faster now

[inner roost]

There's still ways up to the ship without zipling with Mackay lol

[solar tinsel]

Plus M5 projectile speed increase. Yes please

[humble palm]

thermal scopes are coming? damn

[solid imp]

600m range tho, I know a couple air sweats who will not be happy 🤣

[wide shore]

I’ve been waiting for this

[inner roost]

Makes sense though, less launchers on the map due to gadget restrictions

[wide shore]

After reading that player smokes won’t be able to be penetrated by thermals. I’m more fine with them being added.

[next onyx]

They won't be thermals in the traditional sense.

Which is good.

They won't see through smoke.

So they can't be abused.

[spiral folio]

And less ammo on the map too

[inner roost]

Good on dice

[solar tinsel]

This will take some getting used to, but having a new control scheme for the PLUS system on consoles means we can finally actually preview the changes prior to making them, and see comparitave information like PC could

[next onyx]

Actually no I'll re wrtie that.

[spiral folio]

So fewer rockets a s whole

[solid imp]

I'm excited to see thermals only in the scope itself

[next onyx]

They won't see through player generated smoke.

[solid imp]

Instead of "yay my screen is green now"

[next onyx]

But they'll cut through in map obstruction.

[wide shore]

Muscle memory change is gonna be a pain

[inner roost]

Zain getting thermals is a nice buff

[wide shore]

But glad grenade is back on LB

[next onyx]

Reminds me how the m3 infrared had a filter.

[wide shore]

I LOVED the M3 Infared

Underrated monster

[solid imp]

Oh hooooold up

The EBLC-RAM's Insertion Beacon will now always spawn you on foot.

wait wut

[wide shore]

Yeah that’s a nice change

[solid imp]

eh

[wide shore]

Beacons in general are getting a big change

[solid imp]

I kinda liked that there was an air insertion mechanic

But I'm open to it

[arctic grove]

imagine spawning via beacon

and you get sniped off the air

sad

[next onyx]

I guess they figured it was an issue.

[spiral folio]

Geez... why not just remove it

[next onyx]

But honestly.

It was important.

[wide shore]

It was a give and take

[next onyx]

I love that this is pretty much a bf5 beacon.

[wide shore]

It’s to combat the influx of beacons that’ll be present.

It think it’s fine

[next onyx]

Except one more spawn in.

Bf5 beacons would break after 3.

These would do after 4.

[spiral folio]

Yea 4 spawns in a beacon, only the horrible horrible recon specialists can use it. Just remove it entirely

[wide shore]

I didn’t even know that. Shows how much I used the beacon in V

[upper grove]

Bf5 God

[solid imp]

I'd rather they have removed some of the fancy gadgetry on the RAM instead of limit its trademark feature making it a fast recon vehicle

Seeing the parachutes was the rock/paper/scissors to know there's a beacon

[spiral folio]

Id rather have almost anything than a spawn beacon back to my favorite sniping spot
"That idiot allies can ruin by spawning on it" too

[arctic grove]

recon always get beacon

what's the issue ?

[wide shore]

I mean it’s absolutely massive. And can’t be placed anywhere clever. I think it’s ok.

[next onyx]

The recons that are there also aren't exclusively long ranged.

Yeah their proficiency is with snipers.

[solid imp]

lolol true the thing is an absolute unit of a satellite dish

[next onyx]

But it doesn't mean they can't run SMG's or Asssault rifles.

[solar tinsel]

yeah ha - espcially since it's now greande throwing haha

[acoustic seal]

please tell me they didn't actually push the drum mag ADS speed nerf, there's a single line mentioning broad ADS speed adjustments and i'm scared

[wide shore]

I have a feeling I’m gonna be pressing up on the dpad a lot and accidentally using my gadget instead of throwing a grenade.

[spiral folio]

I know I'll never use a recon specialist

[wide shore]

Only gun I’m really gonna mind that nerf on is the AM40

[spiral folio]

Whoooo knows maybe the new one wont suck :u

[clever marlin]

The drum mag already causes an ADS reduction

[wide shore]

I guess the SCAR will suffer a bit too

[next onyx]

Yeah the drum mag part will be concerning.

[wide shore]

But the SCAR needed a downside

[acoustic seal]

it's beyond silly, it's just going to push people to the LCMG which has 200 rounds and none of these problems

[next onyx]

SCAR Will suffer the most, It's the only gun that relies on a drum mag to get a proper capacity for its longer ranged rounds.

[clever marlin]

Here’s the thing about the scar

[hollow iris]

HAHA NO MORE CRACK HEAD WITH A wait this just means more people will use the avancys

[clever marlin]

While I understand it needs a nerf, it needs its grenade launcher reworked

[next onyx]

Yeah technically, The ADS times won't matter on a ranged gun but it's weird when a 200 belt LMG won't suffer the same fate.

[clever marlin]

A 40mm AP grenade can outpace a recoilless

[wide shore]

None of the LMGs use a drum mag

[clever marlin]

Then have 40mm HE to back it up

[hollow iris]

Yes

[clever marlin]

Xm8

[wide shore]

Yeah but that’s by default. I don’t think they’d adjust that

It’s also a vault gun. I doubt those even count for this

[clever marlin]

Fair enough

[tawdry violet]

Every time I play battlefield 2042 for like 30 mins my ps5 just shuts off and I don’t know what to do

this only happens with 2042

Every other bf game is fine

[hollow iris]

Overheating?

[solid imp]

heat?

[tawdry violet]

no it’s not because it’s cleaned

[next onyx]

Sounds like a hard crash.

[tawdry violet]

I’ve played other games for 2-3 hours and the ps5 doesn’t shut off

[next onyx]

Maybe.

I'm not 100% sure.

[wide shore]

Maybe try a reinstall. Idk

[solid imp]

Where did you guys see the drum mag line in the patch notes?

[wide shore]

I’ve never had my PS5 hard crash

[hollow iris]

Try clearing the cache and restart your console

[solid imp]

ctrl+f isn't finding "drum" and I'm lazy

[acoustic seal]

it's not mentioned, that's the scary part
Updated ADS movespeed for gadgets, weapons (especially Battlefield Portal weapons that were often much slower than AOW weapons), also adjusted base speed.

[solid imp]

ahh

[wide shore]

I think Enders made a tweet about it.

[spiral folio]

Ive heard the ps5 has heat issues depending how its set up physically

I cant remember which direction is "bad"

[clever marlin]

I don’t think the drum mag ADS need will do much though

[wide shore]

Those were proven to be false allegations I’m pretty sure

[hollow iris]

The one facing a carpet

[clever marlin]

Because remember, the ARs are really the only guns you need to ADS

Pistols have good hipfire

SMGs have better hipfire

[hollow iris]

Shotgun :(

[acoustic seal]

?? it pushes ADS time over the TTK and makes using drum mags completely unviable

[wide shore]

It was having the PS5 upright causing the processor adhesive to leak onto the board. Which just wouldn’t normally happen.

[acoustic seal]

mw22 did that and it feels like hot garbage

[clever marlin]

Well yeah but it’s MWII

[spiral folio]

Thats not the one i heard

[wide shore]

COD has just done that for years. LMGs having slow ADS is what annoys me most in COD

[next onyx]

The ADS speeds should be slower by a tiny bit versus a large amount.

Eh it's a balancing stand point.

[rotund grail]

FNB Mayhem 64p breakthru? lol

[next onyx]

I actually do not mind it.

[clever marlin]

I’d rather have drum mags make you less accurate than an ADS nerf

[next onyx]

Yeah that's just as bad.

I'd rather if they were to do it, Make it slower by a smaller amount.

[clever marlin]

But it makes more sense

[solid imp]

There should be a tradeoff that makes carrying more rounds something to think about

[wide shore]

They’re trying to avoid meta builds

[spiral folio]

Either way like... its basically a pc
It has to breathe one way or another

[solid imp]

Otherwise why take literally any other loadout

[spiral folio]

So like dont box it in

[acoustic seal]

like less reserve ammo capacity, slower reload time? already in the game

[wide shore]

They want people to use the plus system more. And at this point in time. Why NOT use a drum mag. There’s really no downside other than limited ammo reserve and reload speed.

[solid imp]

I'm seeing it now

During the 3.2 preview play session, DICE increased the ADS time for Assault Rifles, SMGs and sidearms with drum mags as an attempt to balance them as "nobody uses the smaller mags". It's unclear if this change will finally make it (or not) into the final build

BFBulletin

[wide shore]

Which are both easily quelled by the amount of rounds, and just carrying an ammo box

[next onyx]

Hell.

I wouldn't mind it if they slightly extended the reload times.

[hard geyser]

Do you guys think that this update will make the game feel kinda new? Exciting. Wonder if there will be different fight zones. Been wanting this since day one!

[shell ermine]

Which was a gigantic misunderstanding

[wide shore]

Yep. Pretty sure it was a bait post

[shell ermine]

It was only happening on PS5s that were damaged and/or opened up by people not familiar with liquid metal cooling

[solid imp]

I think the fight zones will still largely be the same but what people carry into those fights will certainly feel different

Except breakaway, really can't wait for that

looks good

[wide shore]

Shit I already don’t use the drum mag on the AK24.

[spiral folio]

Itll make it feel old cause classes are old. But it'll be different.

[solid imp]

I mean "Exposure" sorry @spiral folio

[next onyx]

Drum mag Ak24 isn't the most balanced.

40 rounds is all you need.

[shell ermine]

When Sony repairs a PS5 they replace the entire liquid metal assembly, seals and all. You can't just close that up, you need to replace the seals.

[next onyx]

So that gun will be untouched.

[wide shore]

Yeah I just use the extendo

[next onyx]

If I had to guess.

[spiral folio]

Drum mag for railgun

With all the rounds

[next onyx]

They're be treating ADS speeds in the same way they're treating mag type & ammo type.

[hard geyser]

When I say new I just haven't played and excited to try something new for once lol most things have just been updated and other then guns and a few maps what other content have we got

[clever marlin]

Btw

[next onyx]

Heavy round extended mag reloads slower than Standard extended.

[clever marlin]

Are revives going to still be keybinds like before 3.2 or so you have to swap to defibs before

[hard geyser]

And I see a thermo is coming

[solid imp]

Oh if you haven't played for awhile I think there are so many fundamental changes going on in 3.2 that it will feel fresh

[hard geyser]

Will be interesting

[spiral folio]

My plan for 3.2 is to try it out and laugh at people who asked for classes as they complain about the results.

[solid imp]

I mean heck just the fact that the Mackay/Everyone Else ADS meta is being shifted will make everyone's game mechanics feel faster

[wide shore]

Swap to defibs as a medic. But same for squad revives if you’re not a medic

[hard geyser]

It's been a few months for me but yeah

Game pass had all my friends playing for a week but I was still kinda burned out

[solid imp]

Carrying 3 gadgets instead of 2 (mind your controller bindings folks)

[lusty musk]

Thermal scopes in 2042 finally, hopefully they are not the gimped versions from BF4

[wide shore]

Since we’re getting the paddles back for the medic. They should bring back the BFV squad pat for squad revives.

[spiral folio]

Even if they make thermal scopes realistic, theyre not magic xray vision

[wide shore]

IMO it doesn’t make a lot of sense that even after the medics get the paddles back, everyone carry’s paddles for squad revives.

[hard geyser]

That's not bad. I did like the key bind but I do see how it's kinda redundant with this system too

[acoustic seal]

smoke blocks thermals, and thank god for that

[lusty musk]

would you prefer the Far Cry approach to squad revives? pull out a bullet from a cougar bite?

[solid imp]

I made this exact argument during the specialist core feedback loop and I have a feeling my argument got drowned by the desire to use paddles to kill enemies... I'm really sad about it 😦

[shell ermine]

Do we know if the Scar is getting more changed with 3.2?

[wide shore]

That would be sick

[upbeat sand]

Patch has no changes

[acoustic seal]

depends on whether the drum mag nerfs show up in game or not

[solid imp]

I really tried to drive the point home about how Support is getting hosed because we have literally been carrying paddles since the game launched, and every other class is getting an actual gadget. Except Support. Support gets the gadget they already had 😦

[wide shore]

I like the physical paddles a lot. But like I said. With them having the physical paddles, it doesn’t make sense everybody else can just pop them out with a button press.

[lusty musk]

Battlefield, but with wild animals consistently trying to maul both teams

[hard geyser]

Will squad revive still be in game?

[wide shore]

Totally down

[wide shore]

Definitely

[next onyx]

Oh no I'm watching a stream and they're playing Goofy's trial.

[hard geyser]

Okay I got kinda confused by your statements lol

[acoustic seal]

yes but it was nerfed to only grant 25 hp so they may as well have removed it

[hard geyser]

I mean

[upbeat sand]

Strange they chose to release the Mtar at the same time as 3.2 instead of having it in portal before then moving

[hard geyser]

That's not bad

They wanna push med kit usage and defibs

[shell ermine]

What's the drum mag nerf?

[hard geyser]

Not just all one

[wide shore]

Defibs now start healing immediately too instead of a cooldown

[hard geyser]

Like insta 100 right? Or wym

[lusty musk]

Also really hoping they bring Hardline stuff to portal and eventually AOW

[upbeat sand]

From what I've seen

You can either take out defibs manually to use them similar to BF4
Or
Move up to a downed ally and click a button to do the old style

[wide shore]

Uhh. You know I’m not actually sure. They said revived players will now start healing immediately when they get up. But medics should revive at 100 health. Perhaps that’s for the squad revive

[acoustic seal]

in the test build, ADS speed with drum mag guns was waaaay slower for some reason, and ADS speed only got mentioned as broad batch changes in the patch notes

[upbeat sand]

And I think like currently only falk can 100% revive

[shell ermine]

Oh jfc if that was intentional

[solid imp]

#battlefield-2042 message

[hard geyser]

Oh yeah I forgot about that

Imma falck main

So I forget about that passive lol

[wide shore]

I wonder if all medics are gonna 100 revive now

[shell ermine]

Iirc Battlefield never had attachments affect mobility like that, like COD does

[hexed mango]

Let’s go new exclusive rewards for the peeps who spent too much money on the game

[shell ermine]

I would hate that

[upbeat sand]

Probably not if their doing the fast revive but maybe if they manually charge it

[wide shore]

Maybe

[hard geyser]

Damn

[shell ermine]

No one uses smaller mags because they suck

[lusty musk]

unironically I kinda wish the BF gun customization was similar to CoD's

[upbeat sand]

Falk will be the best quick medic

[hard geyser]

We get the rewards for s1 and s2. Kinda nice

[wide shore]

Nothing new. Just old stuff people maybe missed.

[upbeat sand]

Since they can revive at speed and 100%

[hard geyser]

And this is s3 right? Might need to finish this lol

[spiral folio]

I had a funny situation where like 5 enemies were behind this metal stack on discarded. So was I.

I sniped a couple out, people start this perpetual reviving where id snipe out a revive-er and then the person they revived but then another person got reviver and then that person revived the guy that revived them

Like a perpetual sniper hell

[hard geyser]

Also

[shell ermine]

Like I don't get this "x is overused so nerf it" shit rather than just buffing underused stuff

[upbeat sand]

While the other meds still need to either 50% Ho revive or charge

[wide shore]

Indeed

[hard geyser]

Where did you guys read about the medic stuff?

[shell ermine]

Make smaller mags faster, don't slow down larger mags

[spiral folio]

Eventually i ran out of ammo and they escaped

[hard geyser]

In the change log?

[upbeat sand]

Am I the only one who uses non drums

[solid imp]

nah, depends on the gun

[upbeat sand]

I like the ak24 with non drums

[wide shore]

That makes sense then. Irish and Angel will receive at 50% and players revived will start healing instantly now. Instead of waiting on a cooldown

[upbeat sand]

I just use default standard

[hexed mango]

the penguins have created an outpost settlement with buildings to battle through as you establish control of the immediate area.

[wide shore]

AK24 is better with standard extended. And it looks better

[hexed mango]

love those penguins

[spiral folio]

It makes sense for a drum to be slowwr cause it adds a lot of weight.
Not like the p125s entire 6 more rounds of 5.7 to make that slower

[solid imp]

busy penguins

[acoustic seal]

you're gonna love to hear that the lcmg and avancys weren't touched despite being 200 round laser beams

[hexed mango]

fr

[spiral folio]

You can hold like 30 rounds of 5.7 in your hand

[solid imp]

but LMG has other penalties like sprint to ADS

[wide shore]

And very long reloads

[hexed mango]

precious resources are scattered throughout this location as your team works to secure this new Capture Point

hmmm…

[upbeat sand]

I like the standard, standard since it has the fastest revive and I like the ascetic of the standard mags overall, the extended ones just sorta look out of place with its colouring and model at times

[hexed mango]

Rumor has it that the workers in this village also throw the best parties. But so far we haven’t been invited yet.

bro they’re really trying that hard

[shell ermine]

Its not like you are going to a 100 round drum, it's 20 rounds to 40 rounds. The weight difference is marginal

[next onyx]

MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND.

[upbeat sand]

You should look at the ranger one

They

[solid imp]

and the weapon proficiency is trying hard to push Engineer/LMG combo to be stationary

not up on the frontline

[wide shore]

Oh. Don’t get me wrong. I love the way the standard mag looks. AK12 mags are very pretty irl. But I just like having more bullets to shoot cause I can’t aim.

[upbeat sand]

How could they

[hexed mango]

With this Update, Zain shall also be able to utilize thermals with his XM370A Airburst Launcher.

[upbeat sand]

For me I have

Standard
High power extended
Then drum

[hexed mango]

let’s fucking go

[upbeat sand]

Look at the ranger notes

[spiral folio]

20rd should be standard size on the p125
Extended should be 30

[upbeat sand]

I'm crying over the ranger notes

[hexed mango]

i’m getting there calm down

[solid imp]

lol

[upbeat sand]

Since they said next week

Geuss 31st was right

[solid imp]

but you can pet it like an actual puppy!

[wide shore]

I just keep the standard extended. I hate the way the drum looks on the AK24. Hate it on the AM40 too but it feels like a necessity on that gun

[upbeat sand]

Yeah the drums in the game are out of place

And I'm not a fan of the am40 drum reload

[next onyx]

Drums really only make sense on the SCAR and the Vector really.

[upbeat sand]

It dosent have that fast punch if your solider pushing it in

[wide shore]

AM40 reload is pretty boring in general

[upbeat sand]

Like with the other mags

[wide shore]

Great gun tho

[spiral folio]

50rd drum for p125 plz

[wide shore]

MP9 too

[solid imp]

LOL omg wish I could have experienced this

Fixed an issue that allowed the FGM-148 Javelin to be fired in hipfire.

can you imagine

[upbeat sand]

K30 with a drum

Was not the best idea

[hexed mango]

ixed an AI issue…

they missed the F

[wide shore]

I noticed that lol

[upbeat sand]

I want to see what the new falling animation is

[lusty musk]

I'd put a drum mag on my NTW-50 if I could, it's already extreme weight with low handling what else do I have to lose?

[upbeat sand]

X2 weight and handling

Actually X5

It's like the shittiest load out you can put on a gun in MW but even worst

[lusty musk]

5x the weight but all the "fuck you power" to tank killing

[upbeat sand]

That's just anti material

Imagine an high power anti material

With a drum

[solid imp]

I want that guy with that gun to be visibly seen dragging it around the sand dunes of Hourglass instead of being able to run

[lusty musk]

I'll do it, don't challenge my hatred of all vehicles

[upbeat sand]

The drum is causing a track effect that people can follow across the sand

[solid imp]

hahaha no challenge, I love the idea

[upbeat sand]

But then you switch to makay and suddenly he's holding the entire thing with 1 hand

While moving at max speed

[lusty musk]

Mckay's lightweight perk doesn't work on the NTW

it's the only gun it doesn't work on

until they decide to add a handheld minigun

[solid imp]

Good- M5 and FXM

Increased the acceleration and top speed of the projectile.

[upbeat sand]

I wanted to see a really bidder M5 sad

[solid imp]

All rockets getting faster, fewer launchers on the battlefield, APS on tanks lessgo. Meta changes all around.

[upbeat sand]

Since the Javelin can 3 shot tanks I'd say everyone's gonna pick over that

[solid imp]

You get a meta change! You get a meta change! You get..

[lusty musk]

I just want my release NTW back

[acoustic seal]

what meta change? sitting in spawn surrounded by irish APS continues to be peak gameplay

[lusty musk]

is that too much to ask for?

[upbeat sand]

Today I had a shitty Irish camper

Bt attack

[spiral folio]

They need to change the ntw cause its gonna suck after this

[upbeat sand]

He just sat in spawn with a 30mm bolte

And had an APS hidden by cover

Camping

[acoustic seal]

yeah because anti tank keeps getting buffed into the stratosphere and so does irish APS for some reason

[lusty musk]

speaking of Irish, his APS needs to be disabled with 10m of any tanks now that they have their own APS

[spiral folio]

I saw on renewal three jeeps camping on top of the gate with APS things around em once

Like they just spammed shots nonstop

I kept sniping out their aps pods and shooting the jeeps too

[solid imp]

But. That would imply a tank driver would arbitrarily penalize Irish by driving near them

[upbeat sand]

The recon transport should not have cannons

[solid imp]

If that Irish had nothing to do with the tank, they have to focus on staying away from tanks at all costs then

[upbeat sand]

Well they can just Irish's aps needs to be less effective

Like what if Lis rockets could go past them

And only Lis

[lusty musk]

yea but if the tank driver is an Irish (most are) then he has complete immunity to any and all explosives trying to kill his tank as long as he sits in one spot replacing them as they run out

[hexed mango]

Added an option called "Damage Numbers Visibility" under DISPLAY > CROSSHAIR > HIT INDICATOR.

nice.

[upbeat sand]

Actually no bad idea

[solid imp]

No I agree it needs attention but it's tricky to figure a balance that doesn't over-penalize Irish

[acoustic seal]

it just needs to not be infinite like it currently is

[solid imp]

It's a crappy situation to face

[acoustic seal]

it should NEVER have been infinite

[lusty musk]

You'd need atleast 3 people landing 2 shots of HP NTW-50 rounds to kill it

[solid imp]

yeah that could be a good fix... either timed or number of projectiles shot down

[upbeat sand]

Since it's experimental imagine them just suddenly saying "1000 damage"

[hollow iris]

Great now people can see how fast I can shit myself

[hexed mango]

hehehe

[solid imp]

but like... this feels good when the poggers hind pilot comes ripping through

[hexed mango]

also they’re changing the scoreboard to actually be score instead of what it is now

Supporting teammates by resupplying, healing or repairing now gives you score. This is shown in a new column in the scoreboard.

or perhaps just one support column idk

[upbeat sand]

Irish should be limited by how many projectiles can be destroyed

[hexed mango]

The Ranger might be a No-Pat's best friend, but it's not an actual puppy

[upbeat sand]

It dosent need to be destroyed but like what if after 50 projectiles the APS cools down and stops working for 20 secconds

[upbeat sand]

Crying

[solid imp]

yeah it could even be a high number but having some kind of ceiling could be good

[lusty musk]

Irish should be limited, he has two different equipment he can use compared to other specialists

[solid imp]

imo I like 50 as a starting point

Sundance has 2 grenades

[sharp marten]

How will this effect the Fortnite servers

[sharp marten]

Irish is fine 💀

[hollow iris]

LOAD DAMN IT I WANNA SEE THE POGGERS HIND PILOT >:(

:(

[upbeat sand]

I want to see what happends if they let concussion grenades not destroyed by Irish

[lusty musk]

all I'm saying is Irish's APS needs a nerf, either on how long it lasts, how many explosives it destroys, or what type of explosives it does and doesn't stop

[hollow iris]

Hmm Little bird with 30mm

[upbeat sand]

Irish's Bf4 plot armour is too powerful it even works after 30 years

It's too powerful it even works in game

[acoustic seal]

try 3-5

[spiral folio]

Littlebird with 50mm

[lusty musk]

just you wait, somehow they are gonna pull a bullshit card on us and introduce Hanna from BF4 as a new specialist

[hollow iris]

Hmm. Fucking 50 vultures all with M5s completely ignoring the objective to crush my dreams

[upbeat sand]

Pov: 2042 is actually set in the future Pac was killed (just imagine like the Exodus short film never happened or something)

[spiral folio]

Littlebird with grenade launchers would be fun

[hollow iris]

The dogfight capabilities

[lusty musk]

nah more like the real ending to BF4 was: Irish and Hanna are both alive, Recker was the one who made the sacrifice

[acoustic seal]

the alternative is letting people sit with 2x50 charge irish APS next to their tank and replacing them as soon as the cooldown is up

[spiral folio]

Angle backward 50 degrees and yeet them into the air

[solid imp]

oof that seems... really low. Like one sundance throwing a scatter once would exhaust that.

[upbeat sand]

Where do Irish or hanna even plant the bomb

If it's just in the ship above where they just where couldn't recker just toss it from the bridge

[hollow iris]

We just take away his ability to replace them until death, at the same time you can just get a second irish so no limit would change much

[upbeat sand]

Like do they fight to the insides or the ship or

[solid imp]

Irish cooldown should be the 5 year wait that Lis has but both should be able to resupply from ammo boxes

[upbeat sand]

Also kinda stupid how Hanna never mentioned she was CIA or whatever organisation

Until near the end

[tribal zenith]

so they gave the news that update is next week but why cant they give exact date?

[upbeat sand]

January is nearly gone and next week is 31st

[acoustic seal]

take this as a sign that sundance grenade is insanely powerful rather than irish APS is weak

[hexed mango]

idk i’m just happy we have the notes

[lusty musk]

the first time I played the story I was like "yea at this point idc about your backstory, you go die"

she just did all of us wrong too damn often

[hexed mango]

and they said it’s cause “release dates can change last minute”, so monday or tuesday are acceptable they probs just aren’t dead set yet

[upbeat sand]

And then thank also fake betrays you

They where gonna get you back out but still

The plan was flawed

[hollow iris]

Why can't dozer use his shield to deflect tank rounds but also put a homing thing on the tank round and extra explosives so it instant kills the tank when it homes back in on it trust me guys this is balanced

[upbeat sand]

Like what if the Chinese just killed you on the spot back in the prison

Hanna was just stuck there then

[lusty musk]

yea getting put in the same prison as the russian from BF3, "fake" betrayl

[upbeat sand]

Seeing him was nice but then he dies

Going through war after war

Just to die on a transport falling

[lusty musk]

don't worry we'll probably see him make a cameo in Bad Company 3

[upbeat sand]

Ngl I wanna see his pov when recker gets captured

[tribal zenith]

you think we will ever get bad company 3

[upbeat sand]

Like a campaign where we just go through his life

And it ends on the transport falling

[lusty musk]

We better, Haggard still owes me tickets to see NASCAR with him

[solid imp]

I am rubber, you are glue... 🤣

[upbeat sand]

Having bigger black bars than BC2 challenge

[lusty musk]

Onslaught Mode, but the entire AI team is 2042 specialists (and they use their equipment perfectly)

[upbeat sand]

I hope portal's potential gets more unlocked

Outside of exp shares and stuff

Like that mode of Tank Vs 64 EOD bots back in the trailer

[solid imp]

Oh I hate this, good to see it fixed

Fixed an issue where two Grenade trails can be seen after throwing one Grenade

[upbeat sand]

Or 4 heavily armoured and well equiped players vs 32 normal players

[hollow iris]

4 little birds vs 32 lis with infinite ammo

[upbeat sand]

I wish aow had the portal grenade and C5 trails

[lusty musk]

You mean like the end mission of MW3 where you raid the hotel with Juggernaut suits?

[upbeat sand]

Kinda imbalanced since Lis can just hide inside

[upbeat sand]

Like they have more HP and armour

[hollow iris]

My dreams vs everyone with a rocket launcher

[solid imp]

4 little birds vs 31 people with M5 + 1 guy with a tracer dart

[upbeat sand]

I am sick of people using the recoiless over actual bullets

[lusty musk]

but the guy with the tracer has infinite ammo

[solid imp]

yes

[upbeat sand]

The only person to ever get rpg spamming right was the Russian badger

[next onyx]

Russianbadger was good.

[lusty musk]

don't use the rocket, use the back blast to kill

[spiral folio]

Lock the rocket in the tube
Use it to fly

[wide shore]

Shame he’s only made one 2042 vid

[lusty musk]

I wonder what shenanigans Martincitopants will get up to once he makes a 2042 video with all the new toys

[solid imp]

as mackay so when you get high enough you can grapple onto that little bird

and when you grapple the little bird, the ability to get into the passenger seat and melee the pilot

[lusty musk]

Mckay taking a page out of the Master Chief's book

[spiral folio]

New recon will be Monty McFlaeg and he has a rocket propelled hover board

[solid imp]

but knowing mackay and that he isn't nearly as cool as the Master Chief he would instead choose to just spray paint something rude on the windshield and fly away

"I just had my 5th cup of coffee, byeeee"

[spiral folio]

Master chief wouldn't do well with his 2000lb armor on most of the maps

[solid imp]

Master chief but he only gets the needler

[patent prism]

I sincerely hope the new specialist will have something to counter thermal optics, e.g. (my favorite example) a IR-dampening ghillie that looks somewhat out of place in every other environment than inside a thermal optic.

[spiral folio]

Smoke. Hard cover

IR isnt xray

[patent prism]

Yes, I am fully aware of this, yet it doesn't change my desire to have an IR-dampening ghillie suit.

[lusty musk]

I think Rao's hacking ability should be able to disable some other specialists equipment

[patent prism]

I will however admit that this is largely for MÖP purposes as that's what's used in the Swedish Armed Forces.

[spiral folio]

The irony is I think there is an outfit that is intended to be an IR dampening suit

But of course it has no function

[patent prism]

Casper's snow one?

[spiral folio]

Its like some black robelike thing

[patent prism]

Ah okay, no idea which one you're talking about in that case.

[lusty musk]

I kinda want some more Anti-Material Rifles in AOW, the M95 from BC2 and M98 from BF3 are both suppose to be AM Rifles

[spiral folio]

Nah we cant have modern rifles in a future combat game

Heres a 20mm rifle from the 80s and well make it weak af though

[patent prism]

Not really, weren't those in the game files referenced as a .338?

[lusty musk]

Nope specifically remember being able to damage tanks with the M95 in BC2

[spiral folio]

M95 is already in portal so maybe

[lusty musk]

same with the M98 in BF3

[patent prism]

Huh, neat. Wasn't aware of that.

[spiral folio]

You couldn't damage tanks with .50cals in play4free i dont think

[lusty musk]

yup both tanks and helo's were susceptible to the M95 in BC2

[spiral folio]

Really 20mm wont do shit to a tank either

[torpid fern]

hey do we know how the thermals will be unlocked?

[patent prism]

Learn something new every day.

[lusty musk]

which in BC2 it made sense since the M95 was the very last Sniper you unlocked

[patent prism]

• Finland in 1942

[spiral folio]

Those arent even tanks by 1950 standards

[lusty musk]

Idea: give players thermite grenades to deal specifically with tanks

[spiral folio]

Even a panzer4 will be mostly immune to 20mm

Tiger definitely

[patent prism]

Well, duh, they're tanks from the 40's which is definitiely not the 50's

[remote thicket]

new to bf2042 im enjoying it but why do vehicles feel so broken like i cant do shit against them

am i just shit?

[patent prism]

My point is that even in the latter half of World War 2 most anti-tank rifles were pretty fucking worthless against tanks.

[lusty musk]

they are currently overbuffed due to everyone having access to jeep stuff

[spiral folio]

20mm would be devastating to light or unarmored vehicles but like its penetration is like 40-50mm maybe

Which wont pen a sherman even from the side

[patent prism]

Absolutely, which is why the designation (in most cases) changed to "anti-materiel" rather than "anti-tank"

[remote thicket]

the fucking like mini tank shit with the cannon mg on top just held a whole zone by itself cause if we peaked just destroyed us

[spiral folio]

A modern antitank rifle would need to basically defy physics

[vital nest]

Goofy game

[remote thicket]

its like a jeep type thing no windows

[patent prism]

Definitely.

[spiral folio]

Pack enough power in a handheld device capable of punching through 200mm of composite armor with an equivalent thickness to like 1000mm of armor

[lusty musk]

quick google search for Anti-Tank Rifle, guess the top result

[next onyx]

AC20.

[lusty musk]

NTW-20

[spiral folio]

Yo momma

[patent prism]

Well, actually, there are rifles that are anti-tank even today. But those are recoilless rifles. The Carl Gustaf RR being especially noteworthy in this category, which we actually have in game already. So now we can technically say we have an anti-tank rifle in BF2042.

PROBLEM SOLVED

[next onyx]

Give me the 2142 mechs but with 4 medium lasers, a pair of SRM's and a pair of machine guns.

[patent prism]

Lahti L-39 or Boys

[spiral folio]

If you use google it skews your results based on past searches

[willow sky]

will thermal scopes allow you to see through smoke grenades? 😳

[next onyx]

No.

Player made smoke will not be abusable.

[willow sky]

I see

[next onyx]

BUT.

Environmental smoke will be ignored.

[lusty musk]

nope because fun > realism and steam/vapor doesn't obscure it which is ass backwards

[royal swan]

Yooo you can kill with the defib now

Let's go

[next onyx]

You will be able to see through environmental smoke but player made smoke no.

Way tell me before I look at the notes. Am I finally able to change my nickname

[lusty musk]

I'd honestly prefer thermals being able to see through smoke since it'll force players to play the map rather than just toss a smoke and everything is a-ok

I remember that DICE emphasized environmental hazards, but now they are going back on that

[vital nest]

Yes that mechanic did in fact suck

[acoustic seal]

yeah bro let me just "play the map" on manifest

[patent prism]

I am very happy that you can use smoke to obscure thermals, because think of how fucking barren and cover-less for example Exposure is at ground level.

[royal swan]

Ah no thermal smoke see through

[patent prism]

Plus, in for example Rush, if you are able to view through smoke with thermals you can literally just pick people off endlessly because there wouldn't be any real counter to them.

[lusty musk]

They can always balance thermals by restricting how much you can see through smoke by having a distance check for each type of thermal scope

[willow sky]

Well thermals will be very helpful especially near the A and C sector in orbital when its dark

[patent prism]

Or, we can scrap the "see through smoke" and leave it at that instead.

[willow sky]

Im blind as hell when troops run through the grass

[patent prism]

Plus, didn't they try having thermals see through smoke in BF4 and it was absolutely disastrous?

[acoustic seal]

oh hey it's you, what are your thoughts on today's attempt to fix the mouse input again?

[pine roost]

Oh there are more mouse fixes?

[royal swan]

Decent

More mouse fixes are welcome

[acoustic seal]

i thought it was fixed 😕

[lusty musk]

because there was no range limit for thermals yes they became broken

[royal swan]

They never said it was fully fixed

[lusty musk]

you could see someone 1000m away with a 2x thermal

[royal swan]

They fixed it to a good margin

[lusty musk]

if the range on thermals was limited they wouldn't have had problems with them in bf4 to begin with

like anything outside of 75m for a 2x thermal would just appear as background static like the rest of the battlefield

[patent prism]

There is a range limit already in BF4 and thermals, I would argue, still relieve you of a lot of considerations.

[pine roost]

Right time to delve into these notes

That paragraph about thermals and smokes is based

Powered flight ceiling, neat

[willow sky]

Wait, is the increased ADS time on drum mags confirmed?

[acoustic seal]

not mentioned in the patch notes, nobody knows

[royal swan]

Claymores can't be placed near ladders or ziplines

So you guys can stop crying about that

[patent prism]

I remember someone calling me a hacker in BF4 because I jumped over his Claymore and knifed him. That was fun.

[royal swan]

Lmao

Deserved

[sharp marten]

You know what we need

HIMARS

[sharp marten]

Who’s crying about claymores now?

[royal swan]

Everyone I guess

But I just believe it's an overreacting

[upbeat sand]

Did they say elevators

[sharp marten]

Listen if you get killed by a claymore in one spot and then get killed by another claymore in the same spot that is such a huge skill issue

[royal swan]

There was a third one, so I guess that too

[upbeat sand]

Few

[sharp marten]

Maybe it was remind people not to just run through a area and maybe take your time

[arctic grove]

How ppl crying abt claymores

Those are easy to avoid

[royal swan]

Just checked the third one was hanging ropes

So elevators

[arctic grove]

Hell Rao could prob hack claymores

[royal swan]

Nah, but they are already camped by c5 and rpgs

If there are people there

[upbeat sand]

Rao being able to lock on infantry is ah oh

Imagine an entire squad just locking on 1 person after rao

[frosty mural]

flashbangs

[patent prism]

I mean there are exceptions to every rule, but yeah, I agree that doing the same thing expecting it to have a different result is kinda... dumb. But if you only have one entrance into a bunker with extremely narrow slits and some cunt with an LMG is in there, then yeah, I can understand the frustrations people can have with Claymores.

[upbeat sand]

Battlefield's openness dosent make confusion grenades not that effective

And the fast paceness

[drowsy shuttle]

weird they released the patch notes today...

[patent prism]

Helps immensely when you can't get close enough to shoot the people on the objective when the enemy snipers with their thermals pick you off through your smoke.

[frosty mural]

If they allowed Rao to hack world materials like doors and barriers, why can't he hack mines, claymores, c4 to blow up the placer

[frosty mural]

shoot back

[upbeat sand]

Waiting for mercury to just show up and say that their arnt classes and play victim

[whole hornet]

What makes Breakthrough Mayhem different from Breakthrough?

[steady solar]

Is double xp gonna happen anytime soon?

[royal swan]

Lmao

[sharp marten]

They said they wanted to release them early

[frosty mural]

when is the update? Tues or Thursday?

[patent prism]

Sir, this is the United Nations, we can't do that without first debating in the Security Council.
Yes, obviously you can shoot back, that's what LMB is for, but it doesn't help much if you have a PDW trying to assault an objective and some sniper with thermals parked on a hill 100 m behind the objective snipes you effortlessly.

[snow badge]

Are the new gold/ultimate rewards already available?

[sharp marten]

I fucking love it when she shows up because bro she makes no fucking sense

[royal swan]

Patiently waiting for Mercury to spew garbage to finish my battlefield bingo

[sharp marten]

My bet is on Tuesday but don’t hold me to it

[drowsy shuttle]

fair enough, still odd... maybe wont be tuesday and probably end of the week... either way its just a couple of more days if thats the case...

[upbeat sand]

I commit tax fraud

[sharp marten]

💀

[drowsy shuttle]

what or who is mercury?

[sharp marten]

I could be wrong BUT they’ve always released it on Tuesday

[upbeat sand]

Basically someone who complains about the game and gets angry to anyone who dosent agree with them

[sharp marten]

They come in so often and complain about the game because it’s not to their liking and then proceed to not play the game

[tardy tree]

w update

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah, i know.. but i have the feeling they released the patch notes today to calm the hordes down incase update not come tuesday...

[upbeat sand]

Don't understand why people aren't allowed to like stuff

[drowsy shuttle]

ah, so basically a moron. gotcha

[steady solar]

Double xp anytime soon again?

[upbeat sand]

Also animate hank shredder looking at his minerals

[drowsy shuttle]

either way... not cool Dice... giving us this major tease several days before the update.... you lil teasing biatches!

[sharp marten]

Basically yeah they want 2042 to go back to 3-4 style and slowly it is not fully but that’s not a bad thing

[upbeat sand]

Better than waiting and going "come on do something"

[sharp marten]

I haven’t seen this much hype for the game since like S1

[topaz field]

shoot might as well give us a year 3 for 2042 at this point 👀

[sharp marten]

I mean

[drowsy shuttle]

true, but i was already patiently waiting for the patch notes and update next week... and now that we have the patch notes its harder to wait lol

[upbeat sand]

Y3 would make up for bfv's early cancellation

[topaz field]

i've been trying to read the patch notes since it first came out this morning been so busy at work

[topaz field]

That would be nice

just give us more portal maps

ranging from hardlines to bf3

[upbeat sand]

Freeze yourself like when cartman did it so he didn't need to wait for the Nintendo Wii

[drowsy shuttle]

if the Sundance grenades aren't fixed on this update.... im gonna lose it.

[drowsy shuttle]

thats a good idea... and with the cold there is, im not that far from it

[tardy tree]

this update is bouta be fire

i swear

[sharp marten]

The devs already stated they won’t stop support for 2042

[upbeat sand]

I swear peopel will try anything to hate the game

[drowsy shuttle]

its the update that matters... its the do or die update... lets hope its a banger.

[topaz field]

reddit community cant stand them

[errant scarab]

Drop this sss make new battlefield damn

[upbeat sand]

They hated the game for no voip
They added voip
They hated they took time to make voip instead of bus fixes

[drowsy shuttle]

oh look its a mercury

[sharp marten]

Yup

Right on time

[pine roost]

So they’ve raised the speed of the Gustav, does that also mean the ranging is going to change?

[upbeat sand]

Game thing with classes

They cry for classes
They add a class system

They talk about it's limiting freedom and shouldn't of happened

FO YOU WANT OR DO YOU NOT

[errant scarab]

This is no classes god damn

They only restrict gadgets

[upbeat sand]

I am ready for the class rework tho

[errant scarab]

"classes"

[upbeat sand]

Love the new stuff I've seen

The defibs gonna be business

And the javeli

[tardy tree]

classes and a rework and vault weapons and new gadgets

[upbeat sand]

I wanna see how the Mtar is

I'd imagine it would have a similar reload to the Ac42

[drowsy shuttle]

well he is not wrong tho.. its not full class return.. is semi-class return... cause we still have access to every weapon... i would prefer with restrict weapon access to be honest... but im okay with it for 2042... cause if not, would be only 2 medics per team.

[pine roost]

The ‘utility’ category sounds better than ‘tactical’ in my opinion

[lyric garden]

DICE team fucking balance!!!! just add it please

[upbeat sand]

The weapon proficiencies does give more reason to use that class

But I've said this before

Sniper scopes need more sway

[errant scarab]

players want battlefield experience, this is not battlefield it is very far from it if this is the direction of the saga all games will be hated

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah its a good compromise. and if the recon proficiencies its actually something substancial im gonna abuse that shit and people will hate me lol

[upbeat sand]

The sniper scopes sway to little to notice

[topaz field]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/10m7kyg/forget_all_the_ridiculous_features_that_have_been/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

[upbeat sand]

They should increase it to something like Bfv if bf1' s DOF effect

[patent prism]

oh hey, we've been waiting for you to bitch moan and complain

[drowsy shuttle]

exactly... thats why im on the "wait and see" first... might be a "placebo" effect

[topaz field]

@upbeat sand they already crying

[upbeat sand]

Hey hey just ignore

[patent prism]

okay

[upbeat sand]

The quicker you ignore the faster their gone

[upbeat sand]

Bruh

[patent prism]

Fair point

[errant scarab]

It is only to take bf4 and bfv and improve it by making a game with all its mechanics not copying cod

[drowsy shuttle]

well you can still play bf v

if you prefer

[upbeat sand]

Tax fraud

[glossy storm]

OK, and?

People are actually liking 2042.

More so than before.

[upbeat sand]

Shut shut don't actually talk to people like that

[errant scarab]

If they release urss dlc... Rip 2042

[pine roost]

Yay they made it so that you actually gain score for healing / resupplying :D

[royal swan]

YOO let me get my bingo card

[upbeat sand]

Cant I'm playing fish bingo in toontown

[radiant prism]

So uh

Holy patch notes batman

[errant scarab]

Like 80% bf fans dont like it

[drowsy shuttle]

are people worried about thermals? im not, i bet they will suck (slow ads speed and all that) usually only noobs use it and they are not a threat ...

[royal swan]

We got wish for new battlefield game

[upbeat sand]

If the thermals are limited to the inside of the scopes and not outside

It should be fine

[radiant prism]

I'm not worried about thermals, considering smoke grenades will block them

[chilly jacinth]

im worried about excessive smoke spam

[upbeat sand]

Since the maps are day

[chilly jacinth]

with thermals

[sharp marten]

dRoP aSs GaeMm bro you don’t even play it cope

[royal swan]

We got old bf games better

[topaz field]

in ww3 the thermals scopes has cooldown

[upbeat sand]

Pail stranded flashbacks

[drowsy shuttle]

i think we already have excessive smoke spam... i would limit 1 smoke grenade per player

[royal swan]

We got No classes

[radiant prism]

Me, exclusively running smoke grenade launchers

[pine roost]

Wont need to, player thrown smokes can’t be seen through by thermals

[upbeat sand]

YOU CANT STOP ME

I HAVE THE POWER OF SEEING PEOPLE'S LEGS SND BODY SLIGHTLY THROUGH SMOKES

[chilly jacinth]

is that confirmed?

[patent prism]

ye

[radiant prism]

Yes

[upbeat sand]

AND THEN HEADSHOTTINGT HEM

[chilly jacinth]

thanks dice

[radiant prism]

Its in the patch notes

[chilly jacinth]

for doing the right thing

now im happy

[glossy storm]

On paper, 2042's new class system sounds like a good balance between the old and new.

[pine roost]

Based

[royal swan]

We got your stupid by the fellow reasonable people here

[glossy storm]

Hopefully, this translates well to gameplay as well.

What are you even trying to say...

[radiant prism]

Gameplay footage looked good but I think we'll all know how it works out for certain when it does drop

[upbeat sand]

GIVE ME BACK REPAIRING RANGER GIVE HEALING RIBBON

[royal swan]

We got shit tier game

[upbeat sand]

RANGER IS A REAL DOG

[chilly jacinth]

based dice

[upbeat sand]

YOU CANT SAY OTHERWISE

[glossy storm]

Wait, there's gameplay footage?

[radiant prism]

[royal swan]

FUCK NO BINGO

[radiant prism]

Pinnochio without the racial stereotypes please

[glossy storm]

Which Pinnochio... 3 movies released in 2022.

[royal swan]

Mercury should've run your mouth, could've got bingo. Asshole

[drowsy shuttle]

i just wanna know 1 thing... will Rao lose his passive perk of automatically spot someone who shoot him? its the most stupid thing in the game and ruin stealth flanks.

[snow badge]

Nothing like coming home from work and hopping on friday night battlefield

God bless this gamemode

[upbeat sand]

The new ;innochio del toro one is good

[royal swan]

If mercury said cod game, hero shooters, and people still play this. I WOULD'VE GOTTEN BINGO
