battlefield-2042

[fresh lintel]

Its not going anywhere

[fervent rose]

Halo Infinite's investment has been axed, but they probably are just making another new Halo instead

we'll see

[fresh lintel]

Not atm. Theyre more likely finding a new company to actually make a Halo game

[solar obsidian]

there will 100% be a next halo game at some point

[fresh lintel]

While 343 watches over said company to make sure its Halo.

[arctic grove]

halo and battlefield are both dead franchises

[fresh lintel]

Theyre not.

[fervent rose]

the news is basically if you were expecting a halo infinite story dlc, it isnt coming

thats done

[robust vapor]

I'd run 2042 over MW2022 anyday

[mossy badge]

Yeah I heard they will drop their engine and use unreal

[solar obsidian]

something like that

[arctic grove]

they're abandoning the new engine they built lmao

remember all the memories you had when playing halo 3, ce and 2? yeah we're just gonna throw all of those into the shitter

[fervent rose]

it wasnt "really" a new engine @arctic grove

[solar obsidian]

i would love if ea did the same with frostbite

[fervent rose]

marketing

[fresh lintel]

Because Unreal is easier to handle and objectively one of the best engines in the market.

[arctic grove]

anyways, whats the current gun meta post-patch? i'm liking the 416

no more having fun in halo

[arctic grove]

and expensive as fuck

[robust vapor]

[fresh lintel]

Well yeah, it basically works for you.

[solar obsidian]

it was once a powerhouse when bf games released,

now they are technical mess without even state of the art graphics

[fresh lintel]

That and EPIC are slimy bastards.

My love for them died when they decided to axe UT. Their household brand. In favor of the biggest and shittiest crossover game.

[solar obsidian]

you can still play halo 1-3

nothing stopping you from playing mcc

[arctic grove]

ik lol

[umbral parrot]

ide run BC2 over 2042 anyday 😛

[robust vapor]

I don't mind BC2 but where all the players at

💀

[fervent rose]

bc2 hasnt aged well

[umbral parrot]

more aadvanced destruction from 15 years ago

[arctic grove]

infinite lacked a majority of gamemodes, and had a stingy battle pass and monetization system

[fervent rose]

you cant even sprint diagonally lol

[robust vapor]

Yeah I know I played it a long time ago

[solar obsidian]

unreal tourney 4 was a shitty project from the get go,
took too long with the first strong pathes, before even fortnite was a br game*

[umbral parrot]

i know 😦 there are sometimes 2 full servers tho, for real

[robust vapor]

Lost touch until recently where I got a new computer

[fervent rose]

mouse turning only when sprinting. feels so ancient

[robust vapor]

Started with 1 then 5 then 4 and then 2042

Cause I don't see BC2 in Steam

[solar obsidian]

dont get me wrong, i like unreal tourney,

but 4 was sad

[umbral parrot]

ah so here is teh sad part. remeber when EA remvoed all their games from steam? BC2 was part of that. remeber when EA brought them all back to steam? well......thjey fucked up all the digital CD keys the game REQUIRES to launch it 🤦‍♂️ now unless you want to spend 3 hours on EA help chat -_- the only way to play is to get BC2 on EA app

[robust vapor]

I jump and land on most aware players head sometimes

[south stump]

[robust vapor]

Sad noises

[solar obsidian]

bc2 is on steam

no reason to cry

[umbral parrot]

yes it is, buy it, try to launch and tell me what happens 😉

[solar obsidian]

i dont own it on steam, so i dont know

does it require the standard ea launcher verification ?

[robust vapor]

Hence "buy it"

[fervent rose]

im pretty sure i installed through steam and played bc2 last year some time, no issues

[umbral parrot]

it will ask for CD key that doesnt exist, steam will tell you to contact EA and EA will tell you to contact steam

[robust vapor]

Meme-O-Field

[hexed mango]

yeah i had an extensive talk with EA support before they finally added it to my ea account lol

[solar obsidian]

oh one of those games,

cdkey folder is in properties of your game

[fresh lintel]

That sounds like misinformed person.

Unreal Tournament 4 was going to be the greatest UT in the franchise. It was innovating the game with more movement, Community interactions and allowing the community to make maps that can be added in officially.

[umbral parrot]

no dude, seriosuly, im not atech phobe, it doesnt exist, it all got fucked up when EA removed all their games from steam

this is a known deal, many threads about it

[solar obsidian]

i never had issues

[hexed mango]

yeah to play online bc2 i had to ask ea support for a key and talk to a guy for like an hour

[umbral parrot]

try and run it through steam now

point is, this KILLED the player base, sad....very sad 😦

[solar obsidian]

.

[umbral parrot]

cus it a bloody great game

[solar obsidian]

never had issues with other ea games

[umbral parrot]

yeah bc2 is like 15 years old tho

ok, tbf, you can contest me allnight, thats fair, you ran it fine, so did i. if you try NOW, its fucked

[scenic badger]

i kinda hate how when you explode AT mines with your gun, you get gun kills and not AT kills....

[solar obsidian]

saying that while your basis starts with "was supposed to"

feeling like bf2042 pre beta all along

[fresh lintel]

Yeah because Fortnite came out?

[umbral parrot]

all i got was 'destroyed equipment'

[fresh lintel]

If Fortnite wasnt even being made UT WOULD HAVE been the best UT.

[solar obsidian]

they understandable went with the big money,

i had done the same

[scenic badger]

x5 M93R instead of x1 AT just now lol

[fresh lintel]

But because Corpo greed took over, they killed their child.

I wouldn't. Money is good but killing off your poster franchise in favor of some Battle Royale shit.. Yuck.

[scenic tartan]

one thing since the class update its way harder to get resupplied

[solar obsidian]

some might hate epic, but they surely been promoting a lot of good shit with unreal engine, and how progressive on the technical level they kept fortnite, even though they never needed it

[fresh lintel]

EPIC is like Valve right now. They're only there for one thing and thats UNREAL engine and Steam

[mint wraith]

3 hours in and I still have not found Breakaway once!?!?!?!?! DICE PLS!!!

[solar obsidian]

epic always went with the money, its the whole reason they released gears of war primarily on consoles for a decade

[scenic badger]

fuck Epic for 1 reason, they cancelled UT4

for Fornite

[umbral parrot]

im confused, there has been a huge tuirn around here from 'bc2 runs fine' too 'Epic is fine' now i agree Epic store is fine, the idea you neeed a shoping basket as some kind of down side is nits lol (how many games do ppl want to buy at once?) but all the free games? jesus, its nuts.

[fresh lintel]

Oh i'm not saying they werent always money bound, its more just: Its like Bungie killing off Halo instead of giving it off to another company.

Or Blizzard with WoW/Starcraft

[solar obsidian]

@umbral parroti always said epic was fine,

in the grand scheme they have been

[umbral parrot]

yeees i know, but 2 seconds ago we were discussing ea games been kinda borked on steam after the re-intergration?

its niether here nor there just like....ok?

[solar obsidian]

personally removing the old unreal games from steam was a shit choice, but seriously,

if you dont own those games, and they cant be bought legally, you have other solutions

[fresh lintel]

Oh I already have them all. They were a massive part of my childhood.

[solar obsidian]

same here

personally was never affected by the removal

[umbral parrot]

ironically, EA had nothing to do with old unreal games. thats 100% epics choice

[solar obsidian]

we talking about epic

[fresh lintel]

Yeah not EA

[umbral parrot]

yes, epic....made the unreal games...now they have been removed from ALL store fronts

[fresh lintel]

Which is just.. Why?

[solar obsidian]

they taking down the master servers

[umbral parrot]

why? they dnt want to be associated with them cus they ARE 'fotnite'

[solar obsidian]

bringing back ut3 in some state for free

[fresh lintel]

The only UT game available is some free to play UT3 Clone.

[solar obsidian]

bringing back ut3 in some state for free

[umbral parrot]

yeah the worst one that no one liked lol

[fresh lintel]

Which was the "Okay" UT and considered the worst.

[umbral parrot]

UT2004 🤩

[solar obsidian]

there is one thing you have to remember

epic did never bail these games before the players

we can enjoy the talk about the good old days

[umbral parrot]

if any wants ut 2004 or the older ones, pls pm me, i will send install files over on drop box or sumin, i got them on gog before they vanished

[solar obsidian]

but unreal tourney games have never been a big playerbase game, because most of the playerbase already found the new fun thing to play

[scenic badger]

we had that Quake arena game for a bit but it was dumb cause heros

[fresh lintel]

It just means i have to go setup a few Harddrives with old games and what not. And download every single mod and skin for the UTs.

[umbral parrot]

quake?!😱 herasy! 😂

[fresh lintel]

Because eventually nothing will be left.

[solar obsidian]

quake champions,

quake live arena was free without the hero stuff

[scenic badger]

not Quake 3 arena, the new Quake from like 2018?

[fresh lintel]

Quake Champions was actually not that bad.

[scenic badger]

champs, yes

it was fun but not great

[solar obsidian]

quake champions is fine,

[umbral parrot]

i joke man, was always UT vs quake

[fresh lintel]

Its no Q3 but still

[umbral parrot]

fell like quake was WAY more twitch shooter

UT became more long game shooter

[upbeat sand]

Aaaaah dammit I was bout to get into a 128 breakaway match but it ended when I joined

[scenic badger]

it was the OG twitch arena FPS tbh

[umbral parrot]

if that makes sense....

[scenic badger]

then like, HL:DM and Tribes and such

[solar obsidian]

yeah, you can play quake fully path traced now online

[fresh lintel]

God I miss Tribes

[solar obsidian]

thank fuck for modders

[umbral parrot]

HL:DM? dnt fucking get near me when i have a radiator....

[scenic badger]

Team Fortress Classic also scratched a good itch

being based on UT engine and all

[acoustic seal]

i like how hi-rez killed tribes to chase smite esports money, and then nobody cared about smite

[scenic badger]

Source and such

GLDsource

[umbral parrot]

source was a game changer, the pshyics where in rivalds

[solar obsidian]

clearly enough care to see it live still

[umbral parrot]

*rivalds

[solar obsidian]

10 years lifetime

[umbral parrot]

i mean to be fair...they are still pretty damn goiod to this day

[fervent rose]

yea im surprised smite lasted as long as it did

[umbral parrot]

want to know what you can do with souce engine? left$dead, thats what

[next onyx]

I love full powered impact grenades.

[scenic badger]

Halo is not quite fast enough, skill ceiling is odd, the only good arena FPS right now is probably Splitgate and the community has always been suuuuper small

[solar obsidian]

they had a formula on a very popular genre, made there own twist, very solid art direction with the gods,

[next onyx]

You have a 4080, Yes?

[solar obsidian]

instant classic

4090 mate ❤️

[next onyx]

Have you got Quake RT running?

[solar obsidian]

not yet

been trying to get some mates to play some tdm

[next onyx]

I need to know what's your usage on it because my 3080 hits 100% lol.

[umbral parrot]

agreed, enjoyed the old pc demo, played it to death, but the floatyt jumps and warthog? (the jeep) felt sluggish

[next onyx]

Which obviously isn't good.

[scenic badger]

always a little too floaty yea

better for console

[next onyx]

My mates and I would play halo back at school.

We would join the other servers and grief them.

[fervent rose]

I never cared for the marrying of Halo + portals, also i hated how you could portal angle hold in ways that basically break the Halo gun design

[solar obsidian]

maybe look up digital foundry video, they have some tips on performance tuning

[fervent rose]

splitgate was weird

[next onyx]

I did and it doesn't help much.

[solar obsidian]

hmm

[next onyx]

Wow look at these frames.

[umbral parrot]

hahaha nice, we used to hide and play doom mp OR battle chess lol just for the horribly death animations

[next onyx]

But frames don't matter when you're hitting 100% usage.

Aye we would share halo around with a USB.

I wish I could experience Doom multiplayer in its prime.

Classic doom multi.

[umbral parrot]

tbf i dnt think there was a 'prime' it was just back then only floppy disk, no games, what do you do? fuck around on doom

[next onyx]

I only got into doom when I was 2 to 3 years old.

[umbral parrot]

ok ok, no cd drive at school, differnce

[next onyx]

So single player is all I knew.

Actually our laptops did have a CD drive.

[solar obsidian]

@next onyxwhat res and dlss mode are you running at ?

[next onyx]

But USB's were more convinient.

Performance at 1440p.

Hell believe it or not Marc, I got to experience COD 2 MP.

So that counts at least.

[umbral parrot]

at home we were all rocking the CD drives trying to play 'tresspasser' and all the other demo discs

[next onyx]

What era was that? Mid 90's?

[umbral parrot]

yeah, mid/late 90's

PC gamer mag era

[next onyx]

My multiplayer gaming starting in the 2010's.

[solar obsidian]

what framerate are you hitting ?

[umbral parrot]

mine didnt start till at least 2000, dial up till then

[next onyx]

140 frames.

[solar obsidian]

plenty

[umbral parrot]

at school we at least had LAN

[solar obsidian]

set screen to 120hz

[next onyx]

Frames don't matter when I'm hitting 100% usage.

Yeah Marc we set up an artificial network and played it off that.

But I think we also used the school's internet to artificially set up these servers.

[umbral parrot]

sry, is you GPU hitting 100, or CPU?

[next onyx]

GPU.

Don't think a frame rate limiter would work but I could try.

[umbral parrot]

thats not entirly 'un' normal

[solar obsidian]

it will work,

less frames less gpu usage

[umbral parrot]

games often use up all they can when its the only gfx based app running

[next onyx]

I've set my default to my monitor's 165 so I'll have to go into driver and manually set it there.

[solar obsidian]

rtss,

[next onyx]

OH.

Talking about old games.

You guys heard of ultrakill?

[solar obsidian]

quake also have a framerate cap build in just use that

[umbral parrot]

i have, but havnt played it

[next onyx]

It follows old games in that it has a demo.

Play the demo and if you love it, Get it.

[umbral parrot]

deus ex?

[next onyx]

Act 3 is being done now but god damn it is so much fun.

Uh nah the game is like Doom eternal.

[solar obsidian]

doom eternal ❤️

[umbral parrot]

deus ex? like doom?? no no no no lol

[next onyx]

And I prefer it more over Doom Eternal.

[solar obsidian]

no

[next onyx]

Wait no I was lost I dunno why you brought up Deus ex.

[vocal zenith]

lol netflix really gonna start anti password sharing lol

[next onyx]

I have yet to give that a go by the way.

[mental cave]

you remember when you were 3 years old?

[umbral parrot]

because it shaped my child hood, and was curios if ppl had played the orignal OG

[solar obsidian]

quake pt have framerate cap in video settings, just use that before all other solutions

[next onyx]

I remember booting up the game for the first time with my sister and she showed me the cheat codes.

[mental cave]

bro i don’t think i started to have thoughts until i was like 6

[solar obsidian]

cap it too 100 or somthing, still gonna be smooth

120*

[next onyx]

"Use IDDQD and IDKFA"

[solar obsidian]

thats doom

[next onyx]

I actually thought ultimate doom was boring because it didn't have the super shotgun.

And as such I always preferred Doom 2.

[hexed mango]

jesus fuck the server just lagged hard

[umbral parrot]

u did, u just dnt rember. ever wonder why years pass faster the older you get? because they count for a smaller % of your life

[next onyx]

Doom is the reason why I love double barreled shotguns in games.

[umbral parrot]

🤘

[next onyx]

Especially when they're balanced around high power.

And a long reload.

Ultimate fuck you.

But also. You barely have ammo.

I also know miniguns as chainguns.

[umbral parrot]

did u also know there is only 1 hand held type of mini gun IRL and its so impracticle no one will ever use it lol

[solar obsidian]

at at some point we will get half life fully path traced ❤️

[umbral parrot]

https://youtu.be/pcEg9aUa5js?t=539

[solar obsidian]

spicy link

[umbral parrot]

watch how far it moves HIM backwards

[next onyx]

30MM GAU Cannon.

That's a god damn mega gun.

[vocal zenith]

ive seen a real 30mm ammo its crazy how big it is

its basiclly a beer bottle lol

[solar obsidian]

console be like "we got 4k quake now"

https://youtu.be/IhhLcZQ2zD0?t=855

we got 4k path traced

[next onyx]

I mean, 4K quake is still rather good.

[solar obsidian]

it is

[next onyx]

At the moment, Ray tracing is a gimmick.

[solar obsidian]

not even close

[next onyx]

It is a performance hog that is impractical until we have GPU's better accustomed around it.

[solar obsidian]

we far reached the point of them being a gimmick

[solar obsidian]

again, if we target console like framerates with 30fps

[fervent rose]

if you can afford it, it isnt a gimmick

[next onyx]

I don't disagree.

[solar obsidian]

even the lowest available 3050 can target those frames

[fervent rose]

but for the budget value gamer? not yet available

[plain needle]

T1 falcks are so rare, I’m glad to be one of them 😌

[next onyx]

As we go on it will be more readily available.

[vocal zenith]

i dont see a game using only path trace for another 20 years lol

[solar obsidian]

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_ray_tracing

154 games

[vocal zenith]

minimum should be 60 fps

none of this bs 30 fps

[umbral parrot]

after having worked on consoles., again the target frame rate is much higher. newer consols handle this much better but OLDER consoles,. this is why you see such a drop oiin texture res compared to pc

[vocal zenith]

24 fps looks great on films but on games it is garbage

[umbral parrot]

how do you make a game run better? nerf textures and lighting

[solar obsidian]

newer consoles have the last year target the 30fps much more often for ray tracing modes

[umbral parrot]

yup because consoles have surpased alot of the hurdles with better tech now

but i can gareenty you, they target higher than 30 fps

[solar obsidian]

the console just lack the pure ray tracing performance straight out

[vocal zenith]

have u seen hogwarts legacy? on console "quality mode" which i assume uses some sort of ray tracing targets 30 fps on the ps5

[solar obsidian]

they dont even compared to the weakest rtx gpu on the marked

[arctic grove]

I don’t know how I played almost all my life at 30 cause when I got my ps5 and played for a bit then went back to games that didn’t get the fps optimization I just straight up could not play

[vocal zenith]

ray tracing still a gimick on console

[solar obsidian]

on console sure

[umbral parrot]

ray tracing is another lvl, the NEXT hurdle as it were (for consoles)

[solar obsidian]

some games does it well

but you can count those on one hand

[arctic grove]

And I could’ve swore I remembered 30 being smooth strangely enough

[fervent rose]

@arctic grove your brain literally smooths it out, interpolates 30 as smooth if you play with it long enough

[vocal zenith]

unfortunately having tasted the apple that is 60 fps or 120 fps or 360 fps you cant go back

[fervent rose]

but it is an obvious downgrade and once you have seen better, you want better

[umbral parrot]

it was, it still can be, but then when you doulbe it, its like 'oh fuck, thats much nicer'

[next onyx]

120 Frames is SILK.

60 is like running your hand through fabric.

120 is silk.

[solar obsidian]

i want you all to try something

[next onyx]

Anything above 165 for is bonus performance but as long as it's above 120 that's all I care for.

[vocal zenith]

like i was talking shit about my friend who keeps telling me 120 fps is good, at that point i was a 60 fps gamer and the moment i tried 120 fps, 60 fps never felt the same lol

[solar obsidian]

put whole desktop to 60hz, and make sure a game is running 60hz with reflex

if you want the smoothest picture for 60fps games, you need to run them at 60hz

[next onyx]

There's also the difference of the frames being consistent.

Which makes it feel smooth.

[umbral parrot]

a good comparison is when they did that film 'public enemies' in 50 fps, for the record all films (still monsty) run at 24 fps. and ppl found it felt 'off'

[solar obsidian]

yes

[umbral parrot]

granted that is cinima, not games

[vocal zenith]

for me its also the fact that on some games that requires u to move around the player camera alot 30 fps makes it feel bad

[edgy oriole]

my monitor 144 so i set mine to 141

[vocal zenith]

the reason why 24 fps feels good on films is because camera movements are constant or slow, in games player movement isnt constant

especially true for fps games

[umbral parrot]

144 refresh rate is very nice

[solar obsidian]

high framerate avatar though ❤️

[fervent rose]

24 looks terrible in films in some cases

certain movements are just not doable

it limits camera work

[umbral parrot]

LOTR, 24

[vocal zenith]

yea there are some exceptions but in general 24 fps is sufficient

[rocky kraken]

so funny

[solar tinsel]

It gets a bit wild when theres high speed and too fast of a shutter, gets a bit intense. The 'Taken' films comes to mind

[rocky kraken]

the wildcat 5 shots the nightbird

with a mini gun

vehicle gameplay is actually fucked

[solar tinsel]

Except for The Hobbit, then we goin' WILD at 48

[umbral parrot]

it also uses up insane amount of reel when you go higher

like TONS of reel

[solar tinsel]

no doubt

[next onyx]

I love looking at how non intensive older computers were.

[umbral parrot]

sry, apologies i meant just LOTR, not the hobbits

[next onyx]

200 W PSU, Pentium 1 and a tiny ass GPU.

Compared to what we have today.

[vocal zenith]

dont forget the beige plastic case

[solar tinsel]

speaking of framerates: lower frame rates for games aren't going away. There's a reason why the Battlefield 2042 launch trailer way back when was rendered at 30fps

Looking good sells

[next onyx]

I was watching a video about an old AMD CPU and its power draw versus the pentium D

Like holy fuck.

[fervent rose]

30 fps trailers arent an issue visually

[vocal zenith]

i wonder tho, are pc psu gonna keep increasing

[next onyx]

The CPU power draw hasn't changed much.

Well.

[vocal zenith]

like is there gonna be a time where 3000w psu is the new average 700w psu

[next onyx]

On AMD's side.

[umbral parrot]

AND....aaaaand, games physics engines work at a very specific frame rate. its not liek you can jsut say 'run higher' and the game will work normally

[solar tinsel]

No, although it sometimes sets expectations a bit higher 😆

[next onyx]

It will increase but they should focus on making their GPU's more power efficient.

[vocal zenith]

like we must be reaching a limit here

[solar obsidian]

its the difference between a good game and a poorly developed game

[chilly jacinth]

3000w would blow a breaker

[vocal zenith]

at some point the breaker is gonna trip when gaming computers run lol

[next onyx]

That's it. It was the AMD Athlon 64 x2 vs a pentium D.

[solar tinsel]

Then again, I'd hope most folks didn't think that 2042 would actually LOOK like this 😆 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASzOzrB-a9E

[solar obsidian]

i had a 1500w psu in 2008,

[next onyx]

https://youtu.be/HScdoVGCtkg

I just find older tech really interesting.

Cause again, CPU power draw hasn't changed much it's more around the graphic cards asking for even more.

[vocal zenith]

well im moreso talking about the general trend with gpus and increasingly ridiculous power requirement

at some point a gpu is basicly a space heater

[umbral parrot]

so whilst i agree, alot of what i worked with at EA was HAVOC (ppl will know havoc if they worked with it) but it calculates each frame. SO if you run the game and 30 fps....fine? it works, suddenly if you try to run in at 60 fps....oooooh boy

[next onyx]

I do think we're in a good spot with tech ironically.

Think of it.

GPU's are being made around 4k now.

[solar obsidian]

https://youtu.be/WyVqpL6KhrE

[umbral parrot]

(fyi frostbite uses havoc)

[next onyx]

So a lower end GPU will ironically suit you better.

[chilly jacinth]

well you say not changed much but there are cpus pulling 300w+

[solar obsidian]

the rtx 40xx series is incredible power efficient

[next onyx]

Or even underclock your 4k GPU and you're set.

[solar obsidian]

they are just high end cards not supposed to be used by mainstream

[next onyx]

The issue around Nvidia is that they mark up the fuck out of their cards.

Then AMD comes along and makes a cheaper 4080.

[fervent rose]

yea current 40 series pricing is heinous

[solar obsidian]

also weaker

[next onyx]

Only the 4090 is worth buying, Otherwise get a 7800xt or some shit.

The 7900xtx is as powerful and cheaper than a 4080.

[vocal zenith]

how much is the 4070 ti now?

[solar obsidian]

consumers sets the prices,

if stuff sells then the marked are okay with the prices

[umbral parrot]

you remember it was same with alienware tho right? nvidea used to be the cool dogs, now AMD are like....well? same but cheaper?... whos next?!

[hexed mango]

wish the ntw had the close range thermals :(

[solar obsidian]

if they never sold, we would see price drops

[next onyx]

SUFFER!

OH YEAH Echo.

[hexed mango]

heyy way post my clip :)

[vocal zenith]

with how bad the crypto crash was i hope it would go down

[next onyx]

Try drum mag scar with the 2.5x thermal and abuse the ADS glitch.

[solar obsidian]

i dont like the prices of the 4080 either,

it was such a bad value compared to the 4090

[next onyx]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/983962301528932362/1070936556447223880/BattlefieldTM_2042_2023-02-02_21-18-16.mp4

BANG.

[hexed mango]

the fact that the ads buff applies without fully ads animation?

[next onyx]

Think so. I can post the glitch.

[hexed mango]

gotcha

[umbral parrot]

wont lie tho, after ditching nvidea tech, im soooo happy with amd (this was along time ago

[hexed mango]

i saw a vid on twt didnt know if thats what ur talking about tho

[umbral parrot]

does that make me a hipster 🤨

[still mirage]

Can we get squad team death match back as a permanent mode 😩😩

[solar obsidian]

people are okay with ps5 being twice the price, even though you are not even getting twice the performance

[wise heath]

I am battlefield

[next onyx]

It's so fucking weird how fast you can make it.

People aren't ok with scalped prices though.

[solar obsidian]

nope, thats the great thing about pc, you have a choice,

[next onyx]

AMD CPU's all the way.

[umbral parrot]

👆 thats, 100% that

[edgy oriole]

12700k goated

[vocal zenith]

all the more reason for me buying a used 3080 lol

[edgy oriole]

humble 4070ti brag

[next onyx]

I have respect for the I7's.

[vocal zenith]

there selling for around 400- 500 bucks on ebay

[solar obsidian]

humble 4090

[next onyx]

12700K/13700K cool as fuck.

[umbral parrot]

all AMD and corsair now. i like pirates and i like lower price hardware

[next onyx]

I like Corsair cause of plane.

[solar obsidian]

😄

[next onyx]

And I only care for that Corsair.

[solar obsidian]

im just buying what fits for me at the moment of upgrading

dont care about brand names

[edgy oriole]

i just stick with rtx and intel.

[arctic grove]

a lot of people are reporting that their game is crushing after the update but im playing fine

[umbral parrot]

i say that i did have a an AMD gpu that blew up over lock down, litteraly. was playing state of decay 2, heard a pop, smealt smoke and pc shut off. thery arent perfect thats for sure

[solar obsidian]

i just really engaged in the evolution dlss and raytracing have been going at nvidia, and that is mostly why i got that

[next onyx]

I will definitely go with Corsair for my power supply.

And Lian li for my cases.

[solar obsidian]

corsair heart ❤️

[next onyx]

It's a power supply, What else does it do but the Rm850X seems to be one of the best PSU's out there.

[solar obsidian]

super solid

[next onyx]

to the point where the one I have is just an updated variant.

[solar obsidian]

nope

[next onyx]

I watched some old videos and it looked like there was a first gen RM850x.

[solar obsidian]

no reason to upgrade psu,

except if you are way over warranty and it starts to have errors

[next onyx]

Oh nah I mean on Corsairs end.

[edgy oriole]

i got rm850

[next onyx]

Cause I swear there's a first gen and a second gen RM850

[umbral parrot]

https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supply-Units/Power-Supply-Units-Advanced/RM-Series™-80-PLUS-Gold-Power-Supplies/p/CP-9020195-UK amazballs, doesnt even turn on when its below a certain heat

[solar obsidian]

pretty standard these days

[next onyx]

When it comes to GPU's really the only thing I'll care about is their power and transient spikes.

[solar obsidian]

for fan curve like that

[umbral parrot]

i got it 2 years ago, im old lol

[next onyx]

It'll always happen yes but I want it as minimally as possible.

[robust vapor]

I7-12700KF here

Don't understand the difference between KF K and F

[solar obsidian]

thats at least also been much improved on 40xx

[hexed mango]

speed and oc capabilities

[next onyx]

I think it's over clocking.

[robust vapor]

[umbral parrot]

what i WONT do is buy RAM with RGB, thats a step tp far for me lol

[robust vapor]

I don't OC and my run still run fine

[hexed mango]

doesnt matter

[robust vapor]

Maybe cause I ran at 1080p

Pleb me

Kek

[fresh lintel]

Just download the RAM

[solar obsidian]

this

vram

just more

[umbral parrot]

plebs make civilisartions happen 🤷‍♂️

[solar obsidian]

download button

[hexed mango]

K = integrated graphics
KF = no integrated graphics

[rocky kraken]

yall

[next onyx]

I bought RGB because my GPU had RGB but I wasn't looking for RGB in the first place.

[still mirage]

Squad death from battlefield 3

😩😩

[rocky kraken]

why tf does the left hand go through the entire gun when changing to traversal sprint

[hexed mango]

K chips also have more oc capabilities

[rocky kraken]

shits annoying as hell

[solar obsidian]

i just want my system to be quiet ❤️

[umbral parrot]

and thats fair dude, its your machine, you do you 🙂 i just wont cus its like a 70 quid mark up on noormal ram, thats all

[next onyx]

9800x3d with Cl32 and 7200 MHZ ram.

Yeah.

[solar obsidian]

way into the future

[rocky kraken]

is this a new bug or something

[solar obsidian]

no, feature

we dont say bugs here

[next onyx]

Bug bug bug bug bug.

[solar obsidian]

black screen after leaving match,

just a feature to help clear vram

[umbral parrot]

feature feature feature feature

[rocky kraken]

bro

[hexed mango]

F = no integrated graphics
K = unlocked, allows oc at higher speeds

[rocky kraken]

has this been a thing since launch

every single gun

[next onyx]

Ahhh.

[rocky kraken]

the hand goes through each one

tf

[solar obsidian]

sure

[next onyx]

I'm not familiar with Intel.

It took me a while to understand Intel's naming scheme.

[umbral parrot]

slow down champ, has what been since launch?

[next onyx]

Like cunt you name it a 11700KF I'm not gonna understand that shit HAHA.

[hexed mango]

non-K cards still allow OC, but their speeds are significantly less

[edgy oriole]

k or BU ST

[next onyx]

I was looking back at my first questions into computers and I knew NOTHING.

[hexed mango]

like my i7 10700F can still OC but its speed maxes at like 4.5GHz where the K cards usually go to like 5-6+

[next onyx]

Holy.

That's crazy.

[rocky kraken]

when going from normal run to traversal, with each gun the left hand completley goes through each gun

[hexed mango]

smth like that

[solar obsidian]

i could use another heater

[hexed mango]

my cpu base speed is 2.9GHz

[rocky kraken]

now that i know its there

its annoying

[umbral parrot]

i have never noticed this. granted i havnt been 'loooking' for it. but i feel like i would have noticed. anyone else???

[robust vapor]

13th series for better heat

[solar obsidian]

soon i can shut my radiators of in the room and just run path tracing all day

[rocky kraken]

whenever you play check for it

[next onyx]

I think my base clock of my CPU is 4.5?

I don't care about OC'ing it anyways.

[umbral parrot]

oh i will, i hope i dnt see it tho hahaha

[next onyx]

Tell me Marc.

Do you have a 5800x3d.

[solar obsidian]

MARC tell him

[umbral parrot]

me?

[next onyx]

Yes.

[rocky kraken]

use the xm8 lmg its very prevalent on there

[next onyx]

Fuck I'm obsessed with that chip LMAO.

[umbral parrot]

you want my gfx card?

[solar obsidian]

https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-7-5800x3d

[next onyx]

Nah I'm being weird right now just mind me.

It's an AMD CPU.

[solar obsidian]

automatic boost up to 4.5

[umbral parrot]

oooh shit sry lol

[next onyx]

It's fine!

I love tech.

More around how it works.

[solar obsidian]

watch gamers nexus

[next onyx]

I do.

[solar obsidian]

he is tech jesus himself

[umbral parrot]

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X Twelve Core 4.8GHz (Socket AM4)

im not a fucking tech jesus, christ lol

[solar obsidian]

we talking about gamers nexus

[next onyx]

NICE.

[umbral parrot]

srry, srry, looking back n forth from warlocky on youtubes

[solar obsidian]

@next onyxalso remember amd new generation 70003d cpu launches this month

[next onyx]

I am aware.

[solar obsidian]

good good

[next onyx]

I'm waiting until the 9000 series.

[solar obsidian]

jesus

[rocky kraken]

meanwhile im suffering with i7

[solar obsidian]

which one

[next onyx]

9900X3D GO BRR.

Maybe 9800x3d.

[umbral parrot]

it scared the shit outa me tho lol, turns out MB needed a bios update to recognise it, so when i pluged it in an turned it on and pc wouldnt even beeb

i shat myself

[next onyx]

BIOS Updates scare me.

Dude.

[rocky kraken]

11700

[solar obsidian]

damn,

[next onyx]

11700 not that bad.

[solar obsidian]

better than mine

9900k

4.9ghz

[edgy oriole]

last time i updated my bios i thought i bricked my board i sent echo a few msgs

[umbral parrot]

new MB are fine, mine is a the oldest part of rig. but yeah, wasnt a nice feeling lol

[next onyx]

I'm always worried about a catastrophic failure.

[next onyx]

PAIN.

Jesus fuck.

[solar obsidian]

i seen a ram socket smoke

you cannot beat that

[edgy oriole]

turns out i just needed to change one setting that got changed during the update

[umbral parrot]

FUCK that

[next onyx]

How was your heart after that.

Gooey.

I hope it was ok.

[edgy oriole]

i mean

[wise heath]

average pc problems lol

[umbral parrot]

RAM smoking? like wehat even how?!?!?!

[solar obsidian]

changed some ram from one pc to another in like 2007,

no idea what went wrong but ram and socket went to smoke

[edgy oriole]

i wouldve just bought another board but i wouldve been upset bc i hate putting pcs together

[next onyx]

Hehe hot RAM.

[solar obsidian]

no idea

[next onyx]

I want to built my next pc.

I got help for this one because I'm pessimistic as fuck.

But it looks really simple now.

[solar obsidian]

also used the wrong screws when installing motherboard so the head touched the print board

zap

[edgy oriole]

its a cool experience but boy. i hate spending the time doing it

[umbral parrot]

but yeah lol, it seems from chat everyone has been scared as shit dicking around with PC's 😂

[hexed mango]

i love fucking up my pc

[next onyx]

Put your motherboard together, Shove in case, Put in GPU, Organise cables. Yes.

[umbral parrot]

BUT i will say from updating bios, on the right right sights that you have to do it from its FINE, seriously

[solar obsidian]

learned by mistakes and errors

[next onyx]

I read that wrong Echo.

In my mind I omitted that "Up"

[solar obsidian]

updating bios is chill ❤️

updating msi gpu bios though

[edgy oriole]

updating bios be like jesus take the wheel

[solar obsidian]

through there buggy program

no way

[next onyx]

Big thing about more experience too Marc is that you'll know what you'll need next.

I want to get into ATX.

I love minimalistic PC's.

[solar obsidian]

there is some good tips for pc maintenance

[umbral parrot]

scary teh first time tho ennit, cus you are dicking around with the litteral base stuff.

[solar obsidian]

have a old backup gpu or integrated gpu

double bios in both video card and most important motherboard

[next onyx]

I think AMD is starting to introduce integrated graphics in their CPU's so that should be a bit easier.

[solar obsidian]

i bought dual* bios for this reason

[next onyx]

Holy a dual bios motherboard.

[solar obsidian]

yes

[next onyx]

That would actually spare me a few years of my life.

[umbral parrot]

ill tell you a good one, i have rgb lights on the front of pc case, it claims its inspired by dracula 🤨 (its clearly not) spent a bout 2 years on and off fucking around with all the MSI lighting solutions on how to change it off of red.......there is a small button on top that cycles through colours -_-

[solar obsidian]

pc solutions are always fun

worked at a pc store for a while

them easy task when they come in because pc runs terrible

gpu is just full of dust

[next onyx]

My mum watched Linus tech tips and she showed me this one MSI PC with a case that would show temps and all that.

Like shit this is cool.

[solar obsidian]

compressed air, and fixed

[umbral parrot]

case/mb is the issue now, there is NO room left after newer gpu and water cooling cpu, like NONE, i cant even get to the last sata slot

[solar obsidian]

install cables before gpu

[next onyx]

I reckon with how heat is going, Watercooling would be more important.

In the sense that things are going to produce more heat due to the power draw.

As they usually do.

[edgy oriole]

watercooling too much for me. just gonna stick to high quality fan

[solar obsidian]

im with this solution

i rather have a brick of a cpu fan than some aio

[umbral parrot]

so promblen is gpu is covering the ...fuck i duuno the name, you hook up the sata on disk side then it has the other connection right? the only reason i got last on fitting was cus it was aangled at 90 degrees (you might have seen such plugs) when i say nothing left i reaaaallly do mean it, and im VERY frugle

[umbral parrot]

point is any more plugs, gpu wont even slot propaaaa

[solar obsidian]

now im just guessing here

but it should be possible to get angled cables ?

for sata

[hexed mango]

@ripe hedge gibe ntw 2.5x thermal

[still mirage]

Squad team death match from battlefield 3 plz add 🌚😩😩😩😩

[edgy oriole]

6x thermal

[hexed mango]

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

6x is cool n all but 2.5x (and even the short range one) would be epic

cause ntw isnt really effective w/ 6x

[umbral parrot]

come to 2042 and play on the bf3 portal server 😉, new gfx, new pew pew, smae clases, same vehicls, smae maps

[solar obsidian]

when battlefield is more demanding on my system than cyberpunk maxed

[still mirage]

Fax but they should still add it so much fun

[umbral parrot]

i 100% agree, i was playing tonight on it with a squad of 4 and OMFG, SO good

[hexed mango]

vcar is fun with thermals

[still mirage]

What it called

[umbral parrot]

2 secs, ill find out

[fresh lintel]

TGM is the best counter snipe

[umbral parrot]

tank best counter sniper 😛

[solar obsidian]

we call it the fake redeemer

its fake because its missing the nuclear power

[fresh lintel]

I call it the Phoenix because it used to control like dogshit and could get shot down

Phoenix, the worst empire specific launcher.

[solar obsidian]

now it controls better but get easier shot down 😦

fucking hitbox increase

i was gunner on a tank,

[fresh lintel]

Yeah now I can actually shoot down Stealth Helis

[hexed mango]

got both thermals for vcar :)

[solar obsidian]

its too easy

[solar obsidian]

good

[hexed mango]

@next onyx vcar loadout?

[umbral parrot]

i just want my m60 back from bf

[hexed mango]

m60 is a vault weapon

[umbral parrot]

but have to get to lvl 36 to unlioock the other gun to get 100 kills with -_-

[hexed mango]

ah

[umbral parrot]

yeah i got one of things allready, that was easy

[hexed mango]

could always do it in portal

[umbral parrot]

thats what im thinking

[hexed mango]

join a bf3 server, use the m60

[solar obsidian]

get playing mate, it dont take that long

[next onyx]

Close combat extended, Laser sight/MGL laser sight, Short barrel - micro t1 or fusion holo.

[umbral parrot]

but flip side is a portal that is like 'WOAH GUYS 5000000 xp?!) would also break all progresion

[tough folio]

fuck me bro, i rushed an essay horribly

[solar obsidian]

@next onyxhttps://youtu.be/8B3Eb6Qb1CI

[umbral parrot]

your not wrong fella, about 12 lvls off, i just love that tap tap m60 (even tho wont be the same in 2042) i still want it back

and the mg42 👿

[solar obsidian]

[umbral parrot]

might be a 52 or sumin, but you know the one i mean

sounds like a drill

[solar obsidian]

they go so fast if you focus on getting ribbons

[umbral parrot]

OH! im sure this bore the shit outa alot of ppl, but actually! its the mg on the top of all leapard 2 tanks! famous gun!

[solar obsidian]

better pay up if you want to show stuff

[umbral parrot]

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b9/c5/df/b9c5df49987db6c3130a4058c25303d6.gif

awwwi coulndt just post a pic, oh well

[velvet sand]

Can you change squads anymore? I don't see the option on the squad/player list : /

[umbral parrot]

not as far as i knmow

u go in, if u HAVE a squad, thats all good, but no option to change

welcome to the future 😦

[velvet sand]

not a dealbreaker for an otherwise good patch so far, just wondering if I was missing something from notes. hope they'll re-add soon then

[umbral parrot]

IIRC you couldnt even have a freind squad on release

[solar obsidian]

when you can have a bigger party in mw2, compared to bf2042

[hexed mango]

wdym? like have a party?

[wise heath]

I wish you could have a private squad

[umbral parrot]

please dont....just makes me sad

[hexed mango]

on launch you could have a party

[solar obsidian]

yes

but in 2042 the limit is 4 for a party to matchmake with

[hexed mango]

yeah they really need to rework the fucking squad system.

[umbral parrot]

with 4 peeps you can

[edgy oriole]

i still dont know how to add friends. solo lifestyle

[hexed mango]

heheheh

[wise heath]

All you can do is switch squads

[hexed mango]

we are friends dumme

[wise heath]

But you can’t even choose which squads to switch

[edgy oriole]

[solar obsidian]

make a party, send invite or make them join

[umbral parrot]

aaaannyoine WA?NT to form a squad?

[edgy oriole]

you added me tho

[solar obsidian]

you get into the same squad end of match

[edgy oriole]

and so did crisp

[solar obsidian]

no

im watching traced rays

[hexed mango]

bruh you're on pc, you add people on origin/ea app or you go in game to the invitation tab where the party is, and use the search bar

[solar obsidian]

he can read

[umbral parrot]

yeah but un surprisingly most ppl dnt have alot of friends on EA app cus its shit and no one wants to use it

[wise heath]

Bf2042 priorities:
remove g57
remove hourglass
rework squads

[solar obsidian]

i never had issues with friends in bf2042, works amazingly fast

you add them ONCE through ea app, and you never had to touch it again

[umbral parrot]

if u have them, sure. aint contesting that. i guess i was kind of poking at 'if it actually woked with steam'

[hexed mango]

ea app is pretty nice

[solar obsidian]

i would not go that far

[wise heath]

when you play with your friends, for some fucking reason it doenst give you squad leader even tho you could be the party leader

[umbral parrot]

i contest that, its acpu hog and sometimes doesnt close even after a right click 'end'

[solar obsidian]

but the friend list in game in battlefield does the work it needs

[umbral parrot]

fair

[edgy oriole]

echo look at dm

[hexed mango]

its using less than 1% cpu on my pc...

to be precise, 0.2-0.8%

[umbral parrot]

really?!

[hexed mango]

yeah

[solar obsidian]

[umbral parrot]

i mean fair play, mine is always at at least 15% (alot for a background app

[hexed mango]

yeah that sounds weird

[solar obsidian]

fucking hell mate, i would start washing down my storage with magnets at that point

[hexed mango]

also where is this "end" button?

[umbral parrot]

sry by end i mean 'exit' on the app and then checking on cntrl alt del

[hexed mango]

if i hit the "x" it closes to the taskbar, i cant fully exit it rn cause my game is open, but ill get back in one sec

[umbral parrot]

yeah if the game is running it has to be open, cus ea stuff

[fresh lintel]

Welp, almost at BP100.

[hexed mango]

damn pkp is fun

[solar obsidian]

you know its like that on all big games that opens through a launcher right ?

if steam goes down, you get thrown out of mw2 the moment it happen, even with the cod master server still working

[umbral parrot]

yeah i know, its why i dnt buy ubi any more (and tbh i didnt realise i had to have ea app again)

[solar obsidian]

battlenet friends are still able to continue playing

[hexed mango]

also for overlay/in-game stuff

[solar obsidian]

sure

[umbral parrot]

im aware its not liek apc killer, im just so sick and tired of having multiple shit open just to play a game

[solar obsidian]

buy the stuff from there own platform

[hexed mango]

1 thermal for the pkp done

1 more to go

[umbral parrot]

but that stil means having so many apps. ubi, EA, steam, ect ect

they all want my pc....and they cant have it!! lol

[hexed mango]

damn why cant we have the melee takedown the bots have? its so fast

[solar obsidian]

you can have a couple gb data laying ?

i mean

wauw

[umbral parrot]

i can, and more than enbough in reserve, i guess its a wahts teh word

principle thing

[solar obsidian]

get a console if you like stuff that restricted

[umbral parrot]

i dnt wan that crap on my machine, as you said earlyer, its a choice, and i choose no

[solar obsidian]

but again, there you also need ubisoft and ea log ins, just to play online

[umbral parrot]

well i mean i bought anno 1800 then downloaded torrent, cus i dnt want ubi shit

obvs wotn work with full online game

[solar obsidian]

and now you know why more and more games are online only

[umbral parrot]

cus they are obseesed with controll

you wil now say 'cus ppl torrent'

[solar obsidian]

yes, because piracy as some other things had been a major issue in the past

[umbral parrot]

but i only torrent cus i D?NT want extra bull shit. happy to pay

just leave the BS out of it

there is a good piracy stat tho. a downlaod is NOT a sale lost. most ppl that pirate (and only pirate) were never gpoing to buy the game. thats not a lost sale

[hexed mango]

i only torrent single player games that i dont really want to buy

[solar obsidian]

the best stance you can take is avoiding the games competely,

pirating the games, just shows you are interested in the game, and publishers will make it harder to priate

[edgy oriole]

change that to "try" my guy

[hexed mango]

change what to try

[solar obsidian]

i never pirate games you can buy legally,

[edgy oriole]

[solar obsidian]

every platform on pc have 2 hours refund policy without question

[edgy oriole]

you only TRY single player games

[umbral parrot]

ah but here is the differnce, i paid for the game. i apid a solid 50 bucks (too much imo) i i then torrented it cus i D?NT WANT DRM

[solar obsidian]

and steam have even lessen on that rule if its rough games with poor game breaking stuff

[solar obsidian]

dont need to defend over for me why you are pirating

[edgy oriole]

i once tried "this land is my land" and ended up buying iit bc i really enjoyed it

[umbral parrot]

sry. its just quite close to my heart over the old days of CDE when you own it more

[summer zenith]

Hi guys

[solar obsidian]

im a very patient gamer when it comes to game prices, i rather wait for big discount than buying games for 50 euro

[solar obsidian]

anti piracy have been an issue for a VERY long time

90s and early 2000s where rough on pc

[umbral parrot]

so ubi is a great example tho. not only will you wait for maybe 5 years, they are becming the leader in shutting down games. and cus they are ALWAYS online, when they do that you cant even play those games anymore

[lilac dust]

God the M39 is weird. It's simulaneously broken OP and absolutely a nightmare to use 🤣

[vocal zenith]

omg ea was working on a single player titanfall game lol

and it was canceled

[umbral parrot]

yup, and canclled

[summer zenith]

Wasn't bloodborne supossed to be hard?

[vocal zenith]

is bloodborne more difficult than elden ring?

[umbral parrot]

sure? i mean if this is going to be 'i found it easy' then fair enough, did u enjoy it?

[summer zenith]

Idk

[solar obsidian]

dom got carried by summons

[edgy oriole]

all this canceling bc investors lost big on crypto

[summer zenith]

I didn't finish it tho

[umbral parrot]

did u enjoy your timne on it?

[vocal zenith]

all the more reason to support indie devs lol

[summer zenith]

Yeah

[vocal zenith]

since they care about making good games than satisfying investors

[umbral parrot]

then it was a good game

[solar obsidian]

how many in here remember desura?

[summer zenith]

I have seen some people struggle on the first area 💀

[rocky kraken]

all things things cancelled

[vocal zenith]

btw for those ppl who play elden rin how many tries before u beat malenia

[umbral parrot]

know the name, but defo didnt play

[solar obsidian]

its a launcher

[vocal zenith]

took me around 44 deaths to kill her lol

[umbral parrot]

well that would explaine alot

wirde almost rose looking icon?

[solar obsidian]

indie focused games, for the smallest of games, with mod installer for some of the bigger games

[umbral parrot]

dunno how else to describe

[summer zenith]

Still have to get her but im playing with friends now

[rocky kraken]

what is the probability of s6-8

🙂

[solar obsidian]

died so fast, because nobody gave a shit, steam had monopoly, and nobody wanted to switch

[hexed mango]

low- but i hope for it regardless

[umbral parrot]

to be fair i didnt want steam when i got hl2

[solar obsidian]

early humble bundle keys where also given desura keys

[umbral parrot]

was like wtf is this?>! i have 56k modem?!

[hexed mango]

steam >

[arctic grove]

All I know is 5 is an odd number so ending support on that is weird as opposed to just a general last content update

[edgy oriole]

there has to be a year 2 of this game. no shot they cooking up another multiplayer battlefield this quick

[arctic grove]

Late 2023 launch would be even more broken than this one

[vocal zenith]

ppl keep forgeting bf2042 is literally just over a year old lol

[arctic grove]

At launch

[umbral parrot]

if they cook up a new game allready then wont that just kill 2042?

[solar obsidian]

it feels like a beta

[arctic grove]

I doubt it

[vocal zenith]

at worst we are mid life of a game

[arctic grove]

Bugs would probably be horrendous

[vocal zenith]

for bf 2042 its probably still early life of the game

[umbral parrot]

split the player base? again? when its this low?

[solar obsidian]

sage, just think back on the history of battlefield

[edgy oriole]

i think we get another multiplayer battlefield next year maybe middle to end of the year

[solar obsidian]

what game have lasted more than two years of content support?

[hexed mango]

the next game is only in "pre-prod", havent started developing besides some parts of the campaign afaik

[solar obsidian]

its almost always the same

[summer zenith]

I hope that they learned from bf2042 and that they are gonna make a better game next year

[solar obsidian]

we hit 15-20 months, and they kill support to focus on the next game that releases the same year

[arctic grove]

I’d doubt a 2023 launch for anything besides something super specific like a campaign only game

[vocal zenith]

idk with portal and the way the structured bf 2042 it seems like dice made this game with the intention of a longer period of support

[arctic grove]

But definitely no entire BF title

[vocal zenith]

also the fact that they are releasing maps so slow it feels like they intent to stretch out the content over longer periods of time

[umbral parrot]

if it were me, ide mutate 2024 into 2148. can keep the 'heros' keep the calsses but add back in futre tech like mechs ans some wild fucking game modes like old 2142

[edgy oriole]

portal is the future of battlefield IMO if they play their cards right with it i think it sets up perfectly for a title called "BATTLEFIELD"

[arctic grove]

A soft reboot just called Battlefield in a modern theme would definitely be appreciated

[solar obsidian]

wake me up when they add new portal maps

[edgy oriole]

any new experience they can release it under portal as dlc

[umbral parrot]

dnt go half arsed into teck, go balls deep and make futuristic

[edgy oriole]

with map creation from the community

[vocal zenith]

also didnt dice EA mention in the recent investor call that just now they are just starting the orginization work on the next battlefield tittle? if they are just starting on the work, the next bf game is still a long time away

[edgy oriole]

then they could do "seasons" and have different eras and modes going on like fortnite does perfectly to keep playerbase alive

[lilac dust]

We need a new rush layout for orbital. the hill base connecting to the tunnel would be PERFECT for rush

[edgy oriole]

guys im cookin over here. dice needs to hire me

[solar obsidian]

mate,

i love how much copium you have this morning

[copper fulcrum]

Nah, we take the CoD route and name it Battlefield 4

[umbral parrot]

invester calls = pls dnt go look we make money. shoudlnt take that as what they 'will' do (imo)

[edgy oriole]

all im saying is. if they play their cards right portal is HUGE

[fervent rose]

portal is the opposite of the future

[vocal zenith]

well if they lie to investors its just asking for a lawsuit lol

[copper fulcrum]

I mean technically not true

[vocal zenith]

you cant lie to investors

[solar obsidian]

its been over a year with the ads bug for sfar on portal maps,

thats even without the map drops FOR portal, have they shown this little effort in it

[copper fulcrum]

2142 does exist and that is the future

[umbral parrot]

yeah but problem is without pvt servers it runs off a local machine. this is KILLINMG pings

[solar obsidian]

most reasonable statement this morning

[edgy oriole]

now imagine a plain title BATTLEFIELD thats main focus is portal and adding onto it. right now portal is just a side thing

[lilac dust]

The potential for this game is bigger than any Battlefield that will ever release in the next 50 years. Refunders are just too stubborn to give it the support it needs to realize that potential

[umbral parrot]

company lying to investores? acti blizz? 😉

[next onyx]

HOLY SHIT.

[copper fulcrum]

What now?

[solar obsidian]

i cant not even in my wildest fantasy,

[next onyx]

Javelin is FUCKED.

[edgy oriole]

they could seriously do what fortnite does

[vocal zenith]

ppl just like to hop on the badwagon of hating lol

[fervent rose]

i would much prefer a proper BF3/BF4 sequel, or a 2142 sequel

[copper fulcrum]

Unfuck the Javelin, Way.

[rocky kraken]

dice rework anims

[next onyx]

Hit a hind that lost its flares due to a hack which is dumb.

[rocky kraken]

thanks

[arctic grove]

I personally would not mind a BF3 remaster

[hexed mango]

2142 heheh

[edgy oriole]

which could be done. if they took portal seriously and made those into seasons or semi seasons

[copper fulcrum]

3142

[arctic grove]

BF3 needs to come to the PS4/XBOX1 and PS5/SS and X generation

[copper fulcrum]

Earth is just gone

[next onyx]

But I thought I would be out of range.

[hexed mango]

4242

[vocal zenith]

isnt that intentionally designed lol

[next onyx]

and Still got it.

[rocky kraken]

portal should have been getting season content this whole time

[solar obsidian]

just buy a pc 😄

[umbral parrot]

why is it bigger than anything? please explaine?

[fervent rose]

you cant do Portal properly AND an entire new game

[next onyx]

Intentionally yes but it's stupid.

[rocky kraken]

so dumb we havent gotten a single new map

[copper fulcrum]

Battlefield just goes with Space Battles on the moon

[pastel loom]

I would prefer the year timeline be the same as the game's release date
no more couple years in the future

[lilac dust]

One word. Portal

[arctic grove]

ye I own it, I just wish it was more accessible especially since I mainly play on console

[solar obsidian]

i TRULY understand you, the whole mess with playing older games was the reason i left console when i started collecting games

[edgy oriole]

portal as of rn is ass but future. it could really be something special

[rocky kraken]

well

[vocal zenith]

just wait till u see what tracer darts can do lol, they dont give the vehicle warning that a top down jav is incomming lol

[rocky kraken]

portal hasnt gotten jack shit

just a bunch of bad guns

not even a bunch

like 10

[hexed mango]

good

[fervent rose]

portal as a "experience" is just trash servers and exploiters

[hexed mango]

:0

[pastel loom]

no point in replaying old bfs if they're not adding more server regions
i want middle east support

[umbral parrot]

yeah but i JUST pointed out, portal runs off persoanl pcs, ppl cant 'host' a sever, so as soon as a perspon who hosted goes offlone server closes. not to mention (again) the ping issue

[rocky kraken]

why no new maps

i dont get it

[tepid agate]

It could be special in the future? How much into the future portal has been out over a year lol

[hexed mango]

portal does not host locally.

[copper fulcrum]

If Portal is given the right attention (like more spotlights and a better server browser, along with maps) then it'd be great

[arctic grove]

Understandable. If you really really wanted to you could play ps1 games on PC with a good emulator, it’s definitely worth the money as a platform to switch to, one day I plan on it too

[edgy oriole]

as in a main focus. its a side thing they just winged rn

[copper fulcrum]

Recommended filter should NOT be showing me servers with over 100 ping

[solar obsidian]

im not even talking about emulation

[lilac dust]

Huh? They added persistent portal servers last season

[rocky kraken]

maybe once 2042 main game is good they will put work into portal?

[hexed mango]

as a battlepass owner, your server will stay on for 7-days since the last player activity (enable the persistent server option in settings)

when the owner of a server leaves, the server doesnt shut down, unless they were the last person on the server.

[tepid agate]

Well the they didn't give a campaign, they cut out HZ, so should have more than enough time to give portal some tlc over the year

[vocal zenith]

that actually sounds nice

[umbral parrot]

have you looked at portal servers recently?

[arctic grove]

Ye I know, I just inferred it cause you mentioned older games, like if someone really wanted to play some really really old games they could use an emulator on PC

[hexed mango]

the owner can leave, and as long as there are other players online, it will stay up.

[copper fulcrum]

There are Persistent Servers

[hexed mango]

yes, s2 introduced this

[vocal zenith]

havent touch portal much

[umbral parrot]

yeah i take that back i have seen some up all the time, im just getting a bit fustrated at the 'it just works' so i overlooked some stuff. i ap[ologise. but there are still huge issues

[vocal zenith]

but if persitant servers are a thing i might try to make my own

[solar obsidian]

100%, but lets take steam as an example, we can play like 99.9% of those games we bought since 2004,

[vocal zenith]

i always wondered why there is always a server up called afgan war simluator lol

[rocky kraken]

that 1942 mode htat was recently added was fire

[copper fulcrum]

If DICE cracked down on XP farms it'd help out. Also if custom logic servers had a bigger highlight somehow that'd be cool

[edgy oriole]

im talking as a main game focus. as i said above if they do it correctly they could release a plain name title "BATTLEFIELD" and focus just on portal content. changing ERAs every couple weeks or a month keep things different and keeps players entertained. also expand on community aspect like letting players build their own kind of maps.

[solar obsidian]

older games might need an workaround,

[fervent rose]

nobody wants to play anything fun or fast paced in portal, only 800% hardcore or weird exploit servers @vocal zenith

[umbral parrot]

there are about 2 with 100 players each at a ping of 25-50. the rest are either ping 200+ or empty. thats not the future

[solar obsidian]

gog is here for those also, doing massive work

[arctic grove]

Persistent servers require you to own the y1 pass (?) or gold/ultimate edition of the game, one of those, so just keep that in mind

I forgot if it was the y1 pass or for preorder editions

[copper fulcrum]

As long as you have Premium, you can have a persistent server

[pastel loom]

what genuine harm is there from xp Farm servers?

[copper fulcrum]

Having Gold Edition(Or Higher) gives you Year 1 pass, which is Premium for Year 1

[arctic grove]

It allows people to cheese the battlepass

[rocky kraken]

still think if y2 should have more than 1 map per season

[summer zenith]

Someone is probably gonna make a rocket league map with tanks

[vocal zenith]

it says on the FAQ it just requires battlepass

premium battlepass

[solar obsidian]

nothing, its just borderline unfun experiences that dont really show the game in a good state when its a big number of servers with it

[tepid agate]

I just think more had been delivered in the past compared to what has been delivered so far, with only portal and AOW as selected modes, seems strange why they can't cater to both over the last 14-15 months

[fervent rose]

@pastel loom its probably better if they played the real game with other players to get the stuff rather than doing some weird shit

[umbral parrot]

@copper fulcrum i like how after i pointed out a major floor you stoped noting my posts.

[lilac dust]

The future is more content. More content brings players in. More players brings more full persistent servers

[vocal zenith]

i actually got some use out of the xp farm severs when i was learning to fly the super hind for the first time

[umbral parrot]

do you really beleive that?

[pastel loom]

oh right
it does sound unwelcoming

[solar obsidian]

good good

[vocal zenith]

tbf most of the available fps games right now are dogshit

[copper fulcrum]

Because people focus on matchmaking instead of server browser, where as previous games Server Browser was the prime choice.

[rocky kraken]

why is it that content is so minimal?

[umbral parrot]

agreed, but not my question. i feel like the ansers coming out here are read off a peice of paper

[edgy oriole]

my guess is that their not sure where they are trying to go with 2042 direction since all the map remakes plus game changes like classes since the game as a whole wasnt perceived well. too much wasted time fixing instead of expanding.

[hexed mango]

ah got the BSV thermals

5k points in the co-op match lel

[vocal zenith]

i think dice plans on stretching the cotent over longer periods of time, hence the season s

[rocky kraken]

well

[lilac dust]

Well I can only hope we get more content, but if we're talking about believing that if it does happen it will bring in more players. I 100% believe that because time and time again the largest content creators out there come back to the game

[vocal zenith]

thats why it felt like content was slow

[hexed mango]

i mean

[rocky kraken]

i sure hope they give s6-8

[fervent rose]

because EA are testing the waters with how little they can invest and get away with it

[rocky kraken]

that would be fire

[fervent rose]

they didnt get away with it

[rocky kraken]

i mean

[hexed mango]

s5 wasnt initially planned as it is now

[rocky kraken]

its clear

[umbral parrot]

again missing the point. im trying to ween out longgevity. not 'season passes'

[rocky kraken]

they can probably get a good player count if they continue

[fervent rose]

98% left the game cause of the lack of content

[rocky kraken]

yea

content is a bit beter but still bad

not enough

[fervent rose]

which means that word of mouth went to absolute shit instead of being a hype sales thing

[vocal zenith]

well see once s4 drops

[solar obsidian]

they pretty much compete against mw2 at this point

[hexed mango]

yeah content is an issue, but i think bug fixes have been good, and i think that focusing on that especially up till now has been a better focus. but yeah content def needs more

[rocky kraken]

hopefully now that class rework is done and map reworks are almost done they may just go full content mode

[vocal zenith]

i tried mw2 and instantly refunded it

[rocky kraken]

and fixes

and additions

[solar obsidian]

the more "serious" social gamers that want amazing voice and teamwork sit in squad and those games

[umbral parrot]

so you do think 100% we will get more content?

[rocky kraken]

yea
