battlefield-2042

[radiant prism]

Removes the need for support

[dapper night]

Faster sprint-out time when using AR?

Sprint-to-fire speed?

[fervent rose]

thats a bad idea

[radiant prism]

Also assault already spawns with 3 extra mags with ARs, if you do that you won’t need to find ammo as often

[sharp marten]

Ok grans railgun parry this you ffucking casual

[radiant prism]

grabs Dozer shield ok

[fervent rose]

you dont make 1 of the 4 kits innately faster with the best guns

[toxic stag]

nah, no more mechanical differences to fighting please.

[sharp marten]

Ok leaves game

[dapper night]

How about faster reload speed? But then again the drum mag issue 😂

[fervent rose]

thats a DPS increase still

[dapper night]

Just honestly thinking of suggestions

[radiant prism]

I really think this implementation of classes is for the best

[dapper night]

But then again unlimited rocket 😂

[toxic stag]

im not a fan of messing with DPS and aiming/movement differences

[dapper narwhal]

why is breakthrough on the hourglass unwinnable on the attacking side

or is it just me being unlucky

[fervent rose]

it's not

[dapper narwhal]

based

[edgy oriole]

attackers easiest side bc they get 5k vehicles

[toxic stag]

also who here thinks the call-in system needs a complete rework

and not allow vehicles to be called on top of buildings

[edgy oriole]

they shouldve kept reinforcements from bfv imo

[fervent rose]

i wouldnt really call that a complete rework but i agree

[toxic stag]

YES

[fervent rose]

i like the calling down vehicles but rooftop shit is dumb

[toxic stag]

squad points should be a thing

[inner roost]

Rooftop calling vehicles shouldnt be allowed

[toxic stag]

improving teamwork instantly

[dapper narwhal]

we should be able to call-in jets

[inner roost]

Manifest also has a big problem with vehicles camping the hill on breakthrough

[fervent rose]

i hate that shit on manifest

[thick shadow]

@limpid pond Alright so I got dead space remake and holy shit it's good

[fervent rose]

Manifest did not get much better, if at all

[inner roost]

Manifest is just an awful map, I'd say it got worse

[edgy oriole]

dead space remake looks very good, but i got omega bored once i got to ch. 9. i wanted it to end. drag on too long

[dapper narwhal]

its not fun compared to other maps

[inner roost]

Either play Mackay or have a terrible time

[fervent rose]

play mackay AND have a terrible time

[toxic stag]

agreed, the harbor is still terrible to fight in

[fervent rose]

manifest!

[toxic stag]

also they need to rework the vehicle limits on all maps and modes

[inner roost]

Seriously, 90% of my deaths on that map are from someone who's way above the containers

[toxic stag]

why does attack on manifest have 2 condors LOL

[inner roost]

Vehicles shouldnt be able to camp outside of the playable space on breakthrough, there's nothing the attackers can do

[dapper night]

Speaking of vehicles, I do think DICE needs to increase the jets count up to 2 like how BF3/BF4 and also I want to suggest DICE to increase the Tank count to 3 (but the problem is the railgun tank), lastly I think the Ram and Wildcat have a separate category for the Wildcat as AA mobile and for the Ram as a IFV

[fervent rose]

truly a wonder

[dapper night]

This is for the conquest 128

[fervent rose]

the condor/hind farm potential is obnoxious, makes defending suck if they are actually good

[toxic stag]

try playing on the portal maps through Exodus Conquest

[dapper night]

True

[toxic stag]

64 player maps with 2x vehicle limits from 128 conquest

[inner roost]

I pref infantry breakthrough I wish it'd come back

[toxic stag]

like who is making these changes

hire me

[dapper narwhal]

its so annoying when some idiot takes condor, uses it as a taxi, leaves it and the opposing team takes it

[chilly jacinth]

thats peak battlefield

[fervent rose]

people who dont condor ram when they taxi are total clowns

[dapper night]

I mainly play 128 conquest and the vehicle count in AoW is too low in my opinion, I think they already got the Heli and the Condor limit correct but the other vehicles…

[inner roost]

I had someone take our condor on breakaway breakthrough

Land it on A2 flag

[dapper narwhal]

i feel u

[inner roost]

Rest of the game the enemy had our condor

[dapper night]

That’s how it was especially way back in BF4 😂

[dapper narwhal]

i took condor last game and with full team sitting with me, we actually won the game by ourselves on manifest

[radiant prism]

People who condor taxi in general are clowns

[dapper narwhal]

we were just flying from objective to objective

and thats good

[fervent rose]

if you're going to do it, make sure the thing explodes @radiant prism

[inner roost]

I genuinely wonder if players don't know super hinds and condors are more than just transport vehicles now

[fervent rose]

i dont care if people waste a cooldown in a game as meaningless as 2042

[radiant prism]

That makes them only slightly less bad IMO

[chilly jacinth]

nothing quite like handing the enemy team a flying fortress

[dapper narwhal]

its so op with the engineer who can repair it all the time

[fervent rose]

and its buffed if they are crawfords

[dapper narwhal]

[acoustic seal]

every day's a good day to remind alex that drum mags are a symptom and not a cause

[dapper river]

Soflam/laser designations not showing up unless you have a lockable weapon (M5 recoilless, AA, Javelin, etc) out and ready has got me all fucked up

[crude stump]

Feels odd that most breakthroughs finish with Attackers having double the kills compared to defenders (sometimes even triple).
Seems like the defenders are actually the ones attacking the points, with how awful the distant spawn points are and no vehicle support.

[toxic stag]

yep, i hate vehicles but the current vehicle limits are unbalanced in favor of attackers

[calm bison]

I hate vehicles
Plays battlefield

[stoic ferry]

Thank God they are Un-doing the fuck up with the ads speed

[toxic stag]

and damn good at it too! 😎

[calm bison]

But like why

If you hate vehicles then why pick it up in the first place

[toxic stag]

dont like playing with vehicles or dying by them. feels cheap

[dapper narwhal]

i just love jets

[toxic stag]

but they are needed in BF so im not gonna say i want them removed lol

[acoustic seal]

@ripe hedge i see the reaction, drum mags are wildly popular because of the poor map flow and high player counts constantly putting you in unpredictable 1vX situations despite the downsides that exist, standard mags would see more use if reloading didn't run the risk of getting blasted from some insane angles like every crate top on manifest

[edgy oriole]

i dont hate vehicles. i hate how unbalanced vehicles are from attackers to defenders.

[acoustic seal]

put pressure on your map designer, whoever they are

[toxic stag]

been playing BF since BFBC2, im very used to them. doesnt mean i like them 😉

[dapper narwhal]

i just hate how unbalanced jets are

its good to fly f35 untill this dude in felon shows up and does 3 circles around you while you cant do even one

[fervent rose]

also for one of the most complained about guns, the regular high power mag is garbage (20) compared to the drum

[toxic stag]

nerfing drum mags makes sense though, if you want more bullets pick up an LMG. what was the point of running the smaller mags before 3.2 even?

[acoustic seal]

less bullets/faster reloads would be fine if you didn't have to check and clear hundreds of stupid off angles

[crude stump]

ammo types balance is overall very random, some weapons have Subsonic rounds outperform Standard rounds.
And on some the close combat ammo is by far the worst at all ranges... its very inconsistent.

[dapper narwhal]

what are the requirement for unlocking the drum mag tho

i didnt unlock even single one yet

[edgy oriole]

prolly like 240 kills or something

[crude stump]

if you want to skip the grind you can just start a "coop vs bots" breakthrough

[dapper narwhal]

based

ye Ive done some grinding like that but for vehicles

grinding on 128 players is easier tho

[sharp marten]

Alex doesn’t understand what that means

[dapper narwhal]

but as a ps4 player Im forced to stay with 64

[crude stump]

well to be honest i dont have the time to grind out 360 or 600+ kill requirements (per each weapon and/or faction) to unlock some basic gameplay options like drums or vehicle equipment.
Pvp games shouldnt have such obscene grinds for gameplay stuff, in my humble opinion.

[dapper narwhal]

good ppint

idk why do I need to unlock the same weapons to the same vehicle on both sides

[fervent rose]

they fixed that with 3.2

[dapper narwhal]

on time

[fervent rose]

[dapper narwhal]

Ive unlocked everything on f35

But on su57

I dont even have 30mm

why do I cant change the side on pve

I want to play on the russian side too lmao

[crude stump]

when it comes to Coop breakthrough some maps have you start as USA and others as RUS.
So if you need RUS you gotta pick one of the map that start you as RUS

[arctic grove]

thanks to the game not having switch team option

[dapper narwhal]

Im gonna be stoned for saying that but the bf2042 legacy theme is actually listenable

If you listen to it like 50 times and your ears are getting used to being stripped of blood

[spare quest]

[crude stump]

BF2042 is the only BF where i disabled music.
i may be getting too old but that is just not enjoyable music/tones/sounds.

[dapper narwhal]

I like the main theme but the rest is trash

Like the ending round music

what is that

[toxic stag]

nah, the music just isnt tasteful imo

[arctic grove]

imagine

[toxic stag]

they tried too hard to be different

[arctic grove]

if we had 2142

[dapper narwhal]

The concept of it is good, like it fits the setting of the game

But its not pleasant to listen to

[toxic stag]

the main theme reminds me of how bad the launch game was

scuffed BF vibes

[dapper narwhal]

The ending music in every bf was just pure hype

in bf2042 is like

idk

[arctic grove]

anyone else bother by the full map SFX

[dapper narwhal]

its the kind of music I would listen to while having my head stuck in the cars engine working on 6000rpm

bf4 soundtrack was also a bit harsh and distorted but its subtle at the same time

[arctic grove]

meanwhile

bf3

has radio chat in the BG

that's some surrealism shit

[dapper narwhal]

yo

quadbikes in portal mode have radios too

like why

[stoic ferry]

like you can turn it of

[dapper narwhal]

I do

[arctic grove]

hardline too

[dapper narwhal]

But thats weird

[dapper narwhal]

hardline at least has an excuse

how can u be a badass cop without some cool music

[arctic grove]

hostage mode was cool in that game

[open cape]

Where do I find the user.cfg file and info on it's usage?

[dapper narwhal]

hardline overall was cool

[limpid pond]

You're welcome

Remember what I said. Shoot the legs first then the arms

[arctic grove]

I like they improved the commander mode

[sharp marten]

Explain in Fortnite terms

[dapper narwhal]

my dad was playing hardline on pc so sometimes I would play it too

[limpid pond]

Go pew pew at their leggies

[fresh lintel]

Looking past the launch, the menu music is a little.. Eerie?

And the rest of the music is fine. The shipment map is my favourite but Nordvik map is nice

[dapper narwhal]

Now I downloaded it from ea play on my ps4

there are some full servers

which shocked me tbh

I though its dead already

[shell ermine]

"Near future"

Like next week I hope.

[fresh lintel]

You have to understand this: Just because we lost a good portion of the playerbase doesnt mean the game is dead.

[toxic stag]

launch numbers aren't playerbase numbers

people need to realize this

[fresh lintel]

Battlefield just like Titanfall or UT will always have its niche community.

Or core community, really.

[toxic stag]

even if bf2042 was a success it would not tap into the f2p community

nor COD's

specially without an f2p battle royale or ranked gameplay

[fresh lintel]

Even Halo Infinite right now has a playerbase and realistically it should be dead. But Halo fans love Halo.

Theyll play it.

[dapper narwhal]

did bf2042's playercount change after the 3.2?

or its more or less the same as before

[fresh lintel]

It probably shot up a little bitm

[toxic stag]

ofc, with every big patch u get higher numbers

but it flattens out after a while

[fresh lintel]

Now the retention of said players is key.

[dapper narwhal]

[wise zodiac]

The issue is, this only tracks STEAM data

[toxic stag]

and PC only

[wise zodiac]

It doesn't track Xbox or PlayStation

[toxic stag]

BFV has higher numbers on steam/PC too btw

[wise zodiac]

Or Origin

[arctic grove]

What does the stealth mode in the new helicopters do?

[wise zodiac]

I don't think it tracks origin, anyways.

[toxic stag]

yea it doesnt

[dapper narwhal]

It makes u unpossible to lock on with anti air missiles

[wise zodiac]

So then you have one launcher it doesn't track, and two other platforms it doesn't track.

[dapper narwhal]

[arctic grove]

So without stealth mode I dont get the "under radar" AA missile protection

are you sure

[wise zodiac]

There's probably 70k+ people playing at peak times.

[toxic stag]

definitely

[wise zodiac]

Maybe 100k.

[toxic stag]

console has a much bigger playerbase

[dapper narwhal]

if you stay under 30m from the ground

You are not targetable anyway

u dont need stealth mode then

[sharp marten]

Ah alright cool

[wise zodiac]

Nowhere near CoD numbers, but CoD is more for the younger people anyways

[dapper narwhal]

if I am not wrong

[arctic grove]

oh so with stealth mode I have that protection even further up?

[dapper narwhal]

exaclty

[sharp marten]

By vehicles

[arctic grove]

am I completely immune to AA missiles or only until a certain altitude

[sharp marten]

Manpads are a different story

[dapper narwhal]

Completely

You just cant use ur cannon and rockets if u are in stealth mode

then you can only use your bombs

[arctic grove]

I just tried out the stealth chopper 3 times and got shot down immediately

glass cannon it seems

[dapper narwhal]

Maybe something is changed after the updateq

I played these vehicles a lot before 3.2

and I could fly the whole game on sytalth mode

without being locked on by anybody

[crude stump]

just note if you take damage from other weapons it will break your "stealth"

and regular missiles like dumb-fire and TOW/guided can still hit you

[dapper narwhal]

how much dmg do I need to take

to have my stealth mode broken

Because sonetimes I can get critical damage and have my stealth still working on, but sometimes I can loose like 1/3 of my hp and it immidietely turns off

[ancient peak]

1 tick

[crude stump]

i am not a pilot so i dont know that.

[ancient peak]

You get hit once pretty sure your stealth is off

[dapper narwhal]

hmmge

[crude stump]

i know i hit those sneaky choppers with rocsh and n50 sniper , but didnt knock them out of stealth

[dapper narwhal]

[dapper river]

daily "bfv better cus more players muh steem charts said so" poster in the 2042 chat 🙄

doesn't see that 2042 has a more constant and steady playercount while BFV wildly fluctuates, peaking during primetime in east europe, and being deader than 2042 during peak NA hours

[stiff pollen]

Yeah and BFV has hackers

Simple choice here

[rocky kraken]

Did we get any good news from ththe stream

Or no

[stiff pollen]

Revert drum and extended mag nerf

[toxic stag]

bfv 30-day avg: 16,789 | bf2042 30-day avg: 7,013

[stiff pollen]

That’s uh

It

[rocky kraken]

Well

That’s good

[toxic stag]

obviously steam-only numbers, doesnt represent the playerbase at all

[rocky kraken]

I feel like there should be a drawback but not ads speed

Like recoil or something g

Slight recoil

And they said more lore into season 4

So

[dapper narwhal]

Thats amazing

[scarlet magnet]

So why does the Easy Anticheat kick me out of games?

[rocky kraken]

Cause your too good

Simple

[swift gust]

what do u guys think is better, slugs or flechetted rounds on 12M??

[rocky kraken]

Slug

Never used flèche yet

Autocorrect

[scarlet magnet]

So where can I get some help to fix that shit?

[arctic grove]

no running trainer?

[scarlet magnet]

what?

[dapper narwhal]

I would help but I know nothing about that

[scarlet magnet]

it just says it cant verify some shit and kicks me out of the game smh

[swift gust]

check you've allowed anticheat as administrator in game files, if u already have then try verify ur files off steam

restart ur game after and should fix it

[scarlet magnet]

I love how they try to fix the Game

but it gets more and more Bugs

Just like when you had to uninstall a file so you could move your mouse up adn down again

[solemn crescent]

any one wanna play?

AngleMk2 is username

[chilly jacinth]

just reinstall EAC

[glossy lava]

What's the best gun to use after update 3.2?

[spare quest]

yes

[chilly jacinth]

still sfar

[ember charm]

Emr with a suppressor

[spare quest]

bsv-m

[woven acorn]

the did support dirty with the class proficiencies. Quicker draw time for smgs? when the other classes get improved accuracy etc

[edgy oriole]

all the proficiencies suck except for 3 extra mags.

lmgs already get better accuracy when crouched and prone.

snipers infinite steady is worthless bc you gotta keep moving or you asking for being headshot

[chilly jacinth]

holy fuck if i die one more time to shitty spread on these vault weapons

imma break something

[woven acorn]

support could really do with slight buffs across all weapons seeing as they're one of the most underused classes and not many people bother to revive

[spare quest]

skill issue

[upper socket]

Imagine dice and gaijin teamed up to make a war game gaijin focused on tanks/planes and dice focused on soliders and guns

[edgy oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/break-stuff-gimme-somethin-to-break-limp-bizkit-break-fred-durst-gif-15045772

[cosmic sequoia]

god now if they could just add a fucking legacy server browser so we could avoid the shit maps

that would be amazing

[chilly jacinth]

just play portal

[cosmic sequoia]

no

[chilly jacinth]

with all the hc and xp farm servers

[cosmic sequoia]

every other map i get is fucking exodus

[edgy oriole]

they need to add BT to portal then ill play portal

[royal swan]

Yah we are getting better ads now for drum mags

Despite the terrible changes, it's still a good sign that the devs actually care about feedback

Unlike most games

Cough cod

[fresh lintel]

G57 users making me want to T1 all the shotguns on them until the G57 gets nerfed

[spare quest]

the shotguns are meh in 2042

[oak sedge]

12M literally dominated the game for months and the NVK is doing the same right now

[winged blade]

The pistol?

[thick shadow]

Yeah that's the problem I'm having, I'm terrified

[spare quest]

the nvk pistol is actually fun to use

[hexed mango]

nvk the shotgun

[chilly jacinth]

NVK is shit compared to the 12m

[fresh lintel]

The NVK isnt used all that often on console

Same with the other shotties.

[royal swan]

I haven't seen the 12m much

[dapper river]

dice dev team when they start working on patches

[fresh lintel]

If anything its Avancys, AM40, SFAR, G57 and G57.

[royal swan]

You said G57 twice

[edgy oriole]

[spare quest]

halfway there for t1 g57 and avancys

[hexed mango]

has better range, but ammo cap and reload time is shit

[spare quest]

i want the bf3 spas back

[hexed mango]

no

[royal swan]

Out of all of the specialists, which one have you not used in the 1.5 years

[spare quest]

pre-nerf model 10a

[edgy oriole]

boris

[royal swan]

For me it's Sundance

[edgy oriole]

i use sundance all the time for her AA nades

[sterile flint]

AA nades so good

[royal swan]

I don't know why but something during launch or before launch made me choose to ignore the shit out of her

[edgy oriole]

i used tto not touch her bc i think the wingsuit is poo poo

[royal swan]

Or maybe it's because Sundance is a French female . JK I don't think it was that

[obsidian cradle]

Anyone elses controller settings ruined? The previous was better but i cant get it back like it was. Can anyone help?

[spare quest]

not for me

[edgy oriole]

oh yeah she french huh

[dapper river]

being fr*nch 🇫🇷
🤢

[edgy oriole]

thats prolly why she has a wingsuit so she can run away easier

[spare quest]

[obsidian cradle]

Damn like it used to be plus menu on l2 on ps5 and that but oh well

[spare quest]

It's still on T for me

[muted nest]

Good evening dear BF community. Could someone be so kind and enlighten me, what is the purpose of Falck's Combat Surgeon, when I get full health revives from both, Irish and Angel? I might be missing something.
Thank you!

[spare quest]

yes

[limber orbit]

correct

[fresh lintel]

I love how Dozer shield cant even reach some guy because he back peddled an inch and is now spamming a G57 at your feet

[torpid wadi]

Ah so now irish and angel revive to full health?

[edgy oriole]

i think with falck you dont have to charge it just click it. i havent played the other supports so idk fully

[fresh lintel]

I feel bad for anyone who had to go through Dozers T1.

[limber orbit]

i had and still have fun with his shield lol

[fresh lintel]

I literally hit people and the game refuses to let it even be a hit marker

[limber orbit]

hitmarkers = any fps ever lol

[edgy oriole]

dozer is easy to t1 just super boring. i skipped him. all assaults were boring to me tho

[limber orbit]

.01 tick servers

[fresh lintel]

I'm convinced the Xbone version cant register the game lmao

[spare quest]

imagine not having T1 dozer yet

[fresh lintel]

I dont play the dudes tbh

I only play Dozer for the Bulldozer Roleplay but getting kills with the shield requires them to stand still apparently

[spare quest]

roleplay

[fresh lintel]

Listen man I use a LMG and scream random Payday bulldozer wuotes

[spare quest]

sounds good to me

[arctic grove]

classes made the game 10x better

im really enjoying it the past 2 days

[spare quest]

Im having more problems since the last update

meh

[edgy oriole]

im gonna look through #739938247089848351 and join a clan that does nothing but anti vehicle and become a menace.

[arctic grove]

Im mostly sitting in transport chopper passenger seat and shoot one the ATG from Liz every 30 seconds and repair the chopper.

im getting so many points

[spare quest]

i would repair more if the T1 repair tool wouldn't require so much score

im at 15/80k

[arctic grove]

Does anyone know how the new operators gun works exactly?

[spare quest]

wdym

[arctic grove]

The range I set with V. is that the range the projectile explodes?

[edgy oriole]

yeah

aim at cover. set range. shoot above cover = profit

[arctic grove]

When you want to kill people around corners with it, do you set the range from the wall they are behind or the ground next to them

[edgy oriole]

you can do the wall or on the ground slightly past the wall

depends where they hiding tbh

[spare quest]

zain is actually fun once you get used to the airburst launcher

[fresh lintel]

Literally heard "THUNK" five times
Guy casually shoots me and kills me despite me looking at him

Instakill or not jesus christ

[sterile flint]

that launcher is incredible once you know how it works

[still vault]

Depends highly on the map and gamemodes you tend to play though

[robust zodiac]

So after i got the news about the huge patch with changes a lot i wanted to try it. However I still have issues finding server with ppl. Is Rush dead?

I only find healthy server on conquest mode

[spare quest]

crossplay turned on?

[robust zodiac]

ah that might help. thanks 😄

but still kind of sad. Even with pc only i should find ppl for rush :D. I was sitting on an close to empty server for 5 minutes 😄

[spare quest]

nah you really need to turn on crossplay to find any servers on pc

i mean even bfv has more active players than 2042

[fresh lintel]

To be fair BFV probably has better hitreg

[spare quest]

maybe

[cosmic sequoia]

god how did they break the fucking vehicle spawning

and then release the update

what is that

[spare quest]

wdym

[still vault]

For something that is supposedly broken I seem to do it anyway

[arctic grove]

Not necessarily

[spare quest]

squad spawns are still the worst, many times u spawn on them while they are in combat

instant death

[arctic grove]

An option that’s turned on in a game by default, when turned off, is bound to cause issues for your matchmaking

Crossplay is in quite a few games now, so it’s not like anyone likes to turn it off that much

You turned off crossplay and played a game mode that isn’t really as popular, as opposed to V where you’re only playing with PC anyways

Which is also generally more played anyways

[cosmic sequoia]

so lets say you die in a tank, and then on your screen it shows you the timer. 1 minute 30 seconds or whatever. The timer freezes and you have to close the vehicle UI to refresh the timer. If it's in the limbo between timer and spawn, you have to do the same or it just stays as none avail.

[spare quest]

hmm

[arctic grove]

That’s a pretty good description of it

I think that’s not even new either

[dapper river]

why the fuck falk so old wtf

[spare quest]

boomer

[arctic grove]

Sometimes the option to use a vehicle just straight up locks even if there is a slot

[edgy oriole]

april 20th huh

german

blond and blue eyes

sounds

familiar

[radiant prism]

4/20 yooooooo

Falck on that good shit

[arctic grove]

Drum mag/extended change is boutta die

soon™️

[dapper river]

I don't know why they didn't go with 30-something buzzcut falk

[edgy oriole]

ew

im glad we didnt get that falck

[dapper river]

it's more believable than a near-60 year old fighting on the frontlines lulw

she's older than Irish ffs

[edgy oriole]

fun fact the only nudity in 2042 lore is in falck lore

[long osprey]

@fast lake
thank you for falling in front of me I was finally able to recover the plate of the developer of Dice thank

[arctic grove]

Falck bunny slide hopping around Renewal shortly before succumbing to weak knees and the heat

[dapper river]

ah hell naw she done broke a hip

[quiet shell]

makes it even worse that they put out a skin that accentuates Falks granny ass

[edgy oriole]

i hate to break it to you

but the butt is literally the same with every skin

and its cardboard

[shell ermine]

Nice to see the righteous people won, drum mags getting reverted

[echo yew]

batlfield

[fresh lintel]

Adrenaline actually gives some booty

I use it because it gives granny a fucking Exo skeleton

[edgy oriole]

they should turn the lmgs into mmg and make it so you cant aim unless bipoded like in bfv

[echo yew]

does this community have a cure?

[edgy oriole]

what

[fresh lintel]

The cure is Falk

[echo yew]

why are we talking about nudity in 2042

[edgy oriole]

its literally in her lore

[fresh lintel]

Its useless information

[echo yew]

whAt

[fresh lintel]

And also gets a giggle from me becausw its funny

[edgy oriole]

and as stated. its a fun fact

[echo yew]

what did i miss

[fresh lintel]

But still, Adrenaline is a good skin. Exo Spine, white armor, Exo Armor

Also I wouldn't call Drum Defenders "Righteous" it just makes you sound pretentious and of a higher moral standard IMO

[arctic grove]

Drum defenders?

[fresh lintel]

People who wanted the drum nerf reverted.

Nothing wrong with wanting the nerf reverted but like.. Lmao

[edgy oriole]

drum crusaders

[fresh lintel]

Drums aint got shit on Nordvik Double Barrel goodness

[arctic grove]

The drum change is actually being reverted

Drum defenders eh

Is that what they call themselves

[rocky kraken]

I think drums should get more recoil

[fresh lintel]

I know, i dont use em so

[rocky kraken]

Rather than ads speed

[rocky bear]

so many Lis

[fresh lintel]

Thats just a title I slapped on

[rocky kraken]

I still hate lie

Lid

Iid

Lid

I give up

[fresh lintel]

Lis still does pultry damage until she snipes a pilot out of a vehicle.

Which TIL you could fucking do.

[rocky bear]

I like Lis but I feel like I just see her everywhere now so I've been playing other specialists

maybe I am just imagining it

[arctic grove]

You are not

She got a fat buff

[edgy oriole]

i need to start playing her. attackers in my game getting too comfortable with their 8 helos while defenders get 2 jeeps and a tank

[drowsy shuttle]

Kinky

[rocky bear]

I know it's pretty nice

[fresh lintel]

Shes barely played on Conse

Console*

I see like one per match, me not included

[rocky bear]

I enjoy it at least but I always don't really play vehicles so I wouldn't know the other side of it

[fresh lintel]

And I only play her to counter Little bird and Stealth Helis from farming our fucking brainle- Smart tunnel visioned team.

[arctic grove]

I haven’t played since the update dropped cause I’ve been procrastinating on school projects so

Probably gotta autopilot those then I can play

I’m procrastinating now

[rocky bear]

Oops

You should probably uh go do those

[cosmic sequoia]

unless theyre math projects

[fresh lintel]

Dont get me wrong though she is annoying to fight against but she basically tickles tanks and Transports.

Plus with her buff her rockets handle way better now. And on console that means I become a Wildcat.

[cosmic sequoia]

yeah theyre a little too op

[hexed mango]

Javelin + Tracer is more fun

[edgy oriole]

is tracer hit scan?

[hexed mango]

not exactly but it shoots really fast so it’s not hard to hit

[arctic grove]

I hope they add a ac 130

and bombers

[hexed mango]

B-21 please

[fresh lintel]

Jav + Tracer is more reliable because Lis rocket clips through air targets more than I can get a girl to say yes.

I'm just a sad gay

But its okay because *I get to fucking ruin a stealth helis day.

[dapper river]

did it clip, or did you just pass through the cargo bay doors?

[fresh lintel]

I WAS INSIDE A STEALTH HELI

FOR A SOLID FIVR SECONDS

AND IT DIDNT REGISTER A HIT.

[edgy oriole]

i had clips of lis rockets fucking up on me but i dont have them anymore since the one drive incident

[dapper river]

are you sure? I mean it was a stealth heli, you can't be too sure where those things are at all times

[fresh lintel]

Thats it i'm getting my NVK

[fresh lintel]

Hourglass under the bridge on the way to B points, I was trying to shoot at a tank from enemy spawn.

It uncontrollably flew up and hit the bridge both times

Despite me being in the open

[winged blade]

The G57 is the best gun in the game I hear?

[edgy oriole]

[fresh lintel]

Its busted as shitm

[winged blade]

Was it buffed with the latest patch

[drowsy shuttle]

Its gonna be a sad day when they nerf the g57

[fresh lintel]

Its the only pistol you should use basically. One burst headshots, fast RoF, no bloom.

I mean itll suck but itll still be better than the NVKP, MP28.. PF..

Which the Pocket P90 is a literal peashooter.

[low timber]

I’ve been doing really well with the P125 though

[drowsy shuttle]

Is the dm7 the worst dmr? I think so

[fresh lintel]

P125 is good, dont get me wrong. It can two shot headshot (one burst) and its pretty fucking accurate

[edgy oriole]

they gave the keltec so much recoil i stopped using that mf

[fresh lintel]

However, G57 is simply better.

[edgy oriole]

you gotta be kissing the enemy on the forehead to kill em

[low timber]

I’ve already T1’d the G57 and M44.

[fresh lintel]

DM7 is better than VTAC or whatever its called

Id even say the DM7 is good until you get the EMR or BSV (if you use the BSV for CQC)

[winged blade]

Can you get a drum mag with the G57?

And if not, why not

[edgy oriole]

yeah

[fresh lintel]

I think so?

[winged blade]

Really? That would be insane

[low timber]

G57 and MP28 sidearms both have a drum mag option

[winged blade]

oh man

[low timber]

PF51 uses the same magazine as P90

[edgy oriole]

mp28 should just have extendo not drum since it uses 2 mags

[rocky kraken]

the revolver needs more attachments

supressor

:0

only has sights

[mental delta]

Vault weapons need to be normal

[low timber]

MP28’s magazines are a bit odd, the standard one is 10 rounds, extended 15 and drum is 25

[mental delta]

The game needs more weapons

[rocky kraken]

im talking about the 2042 revolver

[mental delta]

The game needs more maps

[rocky kraken]

i forgot its name

[fresh lintel]

The MP28 needs more range. The P125 shoots faster than the MP28 and G57 (dont quote me onbthat)

[mental delta]

The game needs more vehicles

[fresh lintel]

Its simply the M44

[mental delta]

The game needs to be better

[rocky kraken]

m44

[mental delta]

The game needs more maps each season

[low timber]

And MP28 uses 9mm ammo, but the standard mag still only has room for 10, while the M9 pistol can hold 15 on standard.

[fresh lintel]

Like the NVKP125 out ranges the M28 despite it being a "Carbine"

[rocky kraken]

i dont even care if the maps are mid

[fresh lintel]

Pretty sure the G57 out ranges the thing toom

[rocky kraken]

just realease more than 1

[rocky kraken]

g57 is The best gun in htega me

[edgy oriole]

it could use single stack mags

[fresh lintel]

It basically is lmao

[subtle raptor]

What's special about Friday night battlefield?

Seems like it's just breakthrough to me

[edgy oriole]

different playlist every friday and you get to play with the devs and the community

[rocky kraken]

i hate the sped up movement

gawd

increased movement

i think

[subtle raptor]

I mean specifically this Friday

Ultimate chaose

It's rush actually not even breakthrough

[drowsy shuttle]

Its BT

Im playing BT on fnb

[hollow mural]

he

y

i just got a new graphics card soon im going to download bf 1 so send me a message if you are up to play bf 1 later also remember to friend me just in case

[subtle raptor]

Oh wait maybe it's all 3 main modes

[drowsy shuttle]

Yes it is

[fresh lintel]

Its actually BT, Rush and Conquest

Oh wait im blind

You said it already LMAO

[subtle raptor]

That not very interesting lmao

[rocky kraken]

when you lose to a g57 with a mp9

[fresh lintel]

Thats when you pull it out too and you go fucking ham.

[drowsy shuttle]

I got beat with a sfar while using g57 lol

[rocky kraken]

bro

how many patches

until that god pistol

gets nerfed

[fresh lintel]

To be fair the SFAR is like next in line for "This shouldnt be as good as it is"

And Avancys too.

[drowsy shuttle]

He gor lucky but still

Dm7 needs a buff

[gray oriole]

guys does holding breath not work? I cant get it to work at all

[rocky kraken]

dm7 buff?

that gun is a beam

if anything svk nerf

[remote kiln]

WE DID IT

[rocky kraken]

that must have been torture

congrats

[wide shore]

Buff other guns

[rocky kraken]

buff vcar

isnt that the most unused gun

in teh game

[wide shore]

Vcar kicks ass anyway

[fresh lintel]

Buff other guns sure but tune the current OP ones too. Because right now shits a little ridiculous

[wide shore]

I don’t feel like the SFAR or the Avancys are even op tbh

I don’t really feel like this game even has a definitely OP gun right now

[rocky kraken]

g57

is op

we can all agree

two burst kill

[viral oasis]

💀💀💀💀

[rocky kraken]

is kinda cracked

[wide shore]

Yeah, I suppose that one. It’s by far the best sidearm and it’s not even close

[rocky kraken]

yeah

which makes sidearm gameplay bad

[drowsy shuttle]

Ghostmaker R10.

[rocky kraken]

r10 got nerfed

[wide shore]

That takes skill to use though

[rocky kraken]

its horrible

they need to add more snipers and shotguns

and smg

actually

everything\

[wide shore]

They need to fix the vault weapons to handle more like 2042 guns. Then it’ll actually feel like we have a lot of options

[fresh lintel]

It doesnt. Once I learned you could switch to burst on the G57 was the second I beamed a squad with it.

[arctic grove]

Agreed

[fresh lintel]

Console or not, there is no reason for the default pistol to have more DPS or less TTK than the lowest TTK SMG.

And out range it.

[subtle raptor]

And give the vault weapons 2042 attachments!

[fresh lintel]

Same with the SFAR. You land headshots with the SFAR: You win against everything besides a all Headshot AC42 and AM40.

[subtle raptor]

I mean they aren't all bad, I run the a91 for assault with Mackay and the M14 with falck

Heard the gol is good too

[fresh lintel]

Thats without attachments too. While AM40 needs a grip and comp and the AC42 needs a Sight.

The A91 and TAR both shred. Both fulfill their CQC roles quite well. A91 can just push its range out furtherm

XM8 is a solid LMG, havent used the rest

[scenic badger]

[drowsy shuttle]

K

[scenic badger]

VCAR needs accuracy buff tho

stupid .22 rounds

[pine roost]

Bro what is this animation when landing now

[fresh lintel]

DM7 is quite honestly in a good spot, 3 Shot bodyshot, 16 Round default mag and almost no recoil on Console.

[scenic badger]

DM7 been buffed numerous times since launch. completely different gun than originally

[subtle raptor]

M14 is better than the dm7 tbh

[fresh lintel]

The EMR is just broken itll get nerfed

[scenic badger]

i guess the real problem was that they nerfed the shit out of it from beta to launch and now its more like beta again

[fresh lintel]

One shot headshot with a silencer is just dumb lmao

[rocky kraken]

immersion

hehe

[scenic badger]

got skill issued to death by my parachute at least 6 times yesterday. no matter what they do there always seems to be a massive input delay in breaking/deploying the parachute

and don't even think about pressing the button more than once

[rocky kraken]

ac42 is op

for xbox

its like aimbot

[fresh lintel]

Its a fucking laser lmao

[rocky kraken]

and they buffed fire rare

rate

[fresh lintel]

Explains why i'm seeing it more.

[still vault]

[gilded yacht]

so was the under 30m no lock on for helis just not implemented or broken as fuck

[wide shore]

I miss when the AC42 single shot was a monster

I loved using single fire weapons in BF1 and BFV but none of the marksman options feel close to that

[radiant prism]

30m is very low

[wide shore]

BSV I guess but I run that at full auto

[radiant prism]

So you’re probably not low enough

Also if you’re tracer darted it probably doesn’t affect it

[gilded yacht]

the helicopter displays your altitude on its first person hud

we are geting locked on sub 20

[radiant prism]

Ohh right

Yeah

So basically means only Wildcats and Rams are affected

[gilded yacht]

well thats fucking useless then

might as well just stay max height then

[radiant prism]

It’s meant to keep AA vehicles from being untouchable

Which especially for jets can be a problem

[drowsy shuttle]

100 assists with thr T-UGS on Stranded BT .. that shit is wild lol

[radiant prism]

Because the T-UGS is so hard to see lol

[drowsy shuttle]

And doesnt get destroyed even if you die

[gilded yacht]

is the idea that the aa wont magically switch to its dual aa guns and it wont do anything

so pointless

[unique kraken]

30m flightt change only affects AA, but rao still exists...

[radiant prism]

Guns at least can be dodged to an extent

[gilded yacht]

🤓

[drowsy shuttle]

Oh nice 24/7 Breakaway BT

[radiant prism]

The first two sectors are so beautifully hectic

[lament plank]

Jesus Christ how did these idiots put in the javelin without actually play testing it

Just got killed while they didn’t even have line of sight to lock me at all. And explain to me how 3 M5s can’t solo a tank with a repair cooldown but it’s deemed fine to let people spawn in with 3 seeking javelins that can?

Lis can’t even solo a tank

[edgy oriole]

bc javs are for heavy and m5 is for light

[radiant prism]

If you’re painted, they don’t need line of sight

[red notch]

Anyone know if they plan to increase vehicle counts

[lament plank]

Yeah. So why do people get to spawn with 3?

[lament plank]

And yet if I was being painted it would have shown on the hud that I was being locked onto from a different direction…

[red notch]

Its a fire-and-forget, meaning once they shoot they can run away and it looks like they killed you behind a wall

Also if you are SOFLAMed or tracer darted they can lock on through walls

[edgy oriole]

i think they said something about it on the stream and they are looking into it. but i dont remember 100%

[lament plank]

Yes, thank you. As someone with T1 soflam I am VERY FAMILIAR with how it works

[red notch]

Now that jets are a separate category helicopters are getting recked

[radiant prism]

Not if you were tracer darted

[lament plank]

Yet again, another incorrect assumption because there was no one around me to shoot me with a close to medium range tracer. Alternatively even with line of sight, people shouldn’t be spawning in with 3 javelins

[red notch]

they spawn in with 1 javelin lol

[edgy oriole]

is the tracer short range? ive been hearing you can launch that mf

[red notch]

I can accurately hit shots up to 200m, havent really tested any further

[radiant prism]

Frankly, using the javelin today just got me killed constantly

Thing takes 12 years to lock on

[drowsy shuttle]

Hows the M39? Worth it?

[lament plank]

And yet I’m looking at my screen where I have 3 javelin rockets in my inventory 🤔🤔🤔

[edgy oriole]

apparently its suppressor is broken and it 1 shots frequently

[drowsy shuttle]

Really? Lol

[subtle raptor]

Best long range gun

[edgy oriole]

yeah not at any range tho. i think it mainly 1 shots ~35m

[red notch]

Without suppressor its 2 shot to the head and 3 to the body
With the suppressor its 1 head 2 body (Its supposed to nerf the damage lol)

[subtle raptor]

I didn't even realize the suppressor was increasing the damage

Been running it without it the whole time

Still best dmr

[drowsy shuttle]

Well, then lets take that bad boy for a spin

[radiant prism]

M39 is definitely broken rn yeah lol

I haven’t seen too many people using it though

[lament plank]

It is clear, as usual, no actual testing went into a lot of these new pieces of gear. “Hey it worked in other battlefields let’s just portal them into the main game” clearly spawning with 3 javelins is to strong. 2 would be the more balanced option where a skilled driver could counter play.

[ember tusk]

When they gonna give me the 249 so I can play like bf4 Irish?

[edgy oriole]

there was a man taking me out to dinner with it yesterday on breakaway. i was getting a lil silly

[drowsy shuttle]

Wat?

every mon, wed, fri

https://tenor.com/view/dr-d-yayaya-aw-yeah-dr-disrespect-2time-back-to-back-champion-gif-15872944

[radiant prism]

I thought he got banned for being too buddy buddy with infowars n other conspiracy bullshit

[drowsy shuttle]

Are you doc's nr 1 fan?

[edgy oriole]

[edgy oriole]

nah twitch never gave a reasoning and he took them to court and they settled. we still dont know what for.

[arctic grove]

[radiant prism]

Fascinating

[edgy oriole]

only thing we can assume he got banned for was the bathroom filming

[radiant prism]

I’ve avoided him since I found out about that

[drowsy shuttle]

I guess nobody will never know...

[wary portal]

What you guys think about bfv's recoil?

[radiant prism]

It’s pretty easy to tell why I think

[edgy oriole]

[pine roost]

quick tip - on pc you can use the arrow keys to turn at max speed in lis' missile and other vehicles

[subtle raptor]

Can radar guided missiles be used against ground vehicles? Says they don't need lock on

[pine roost]

just found this out and it highlights just how busted it is

[pine roost]

the ones that lock after you fire can, but hardly do any significant damage

[drowsy shuttle]

Btw probably most of you know this, but maybe new players dont.. you can destroy casper'drones with your own casper drone using the emp thing

[pine roost]

that's neat

[subtle raptor]

So if I'm using a jet what should I use?

A-A A-G or radar?

[pine roost]

I use 25s and agms to be the most versatile

[edgy oriole]

how? i just keep emping it until they stop moving or i get off cam and snipe it

[pine roost]

although jets overall are basically worthless in their current state

[drowsy shuttle]

You lock on to them and they explode

[edgy oriole]

they never explode for me i can just forever stun them

[subtle raptor]

Agreed they need a buff

[drowsy shuttle]

Thats weird the other day i destroyed 3 with my casper drone

[subtle raptor]

Ive got almost 200 kills on nightbird but only like 20 on the f35

[wary portal]

Helicopters is tight in this game. Right?

[edgy oriole]

helos can absolutely ruin other teams games.

[wary portal]

I need a little practice on helos.

[edgy oriole]

get the muscle memory down and start spawn killing friend

[pine roost]

then once they fix flight assist you'll dominate

[wary portal]

Well guess I'll have to wait.

[low timber]

You’ve had that name for a year, what’s even broken with it?

[wary portal]

I'll stick to being a grunt and a bloody tank for now.

[pine roost]

it's always on even if you turn the setting off in the configs. It's something everyone i've spoken to experiences and it simply messes with your ability to aim for no reason. yet it worked perfectly fine before season 1

I am adamant to get it fixed, and when it is I will change my name to 'thank you' or something

[low timber]

I guess it’s a PC problem then

As i have it turned off

[pine roost]

although judging by silk's recent stream they may be addressing jets and helis in one big go

[pine roost]

I've not been able to determine whether it's a pc only thing, as I've watched multiple streams of people on discord but you can't really do that on console

wouldn't be surprised if it is seeing as so many pc specific issues slipped through

you could do a little test now you're in game and not busy

[wary portal]

You guys tryhard on those vault weapons?

[low timber]

A year-ish ago I also hated the flight assist as it ruined my aim by trying to auto level the heli and auto take off from the ground when trying to land, but when I turned it off from the setting I’ve not had those problems anymore

But I have not flied a heli for few months

[pine roost]

you in game to try it out in a custom lobby?

[low timber]

Next I’m gonna sleep

[pine roost]

if it's not on console but is on pc that would be really interesting in a bad way

[low timber]

Wouldn’t be the first time though

[pine roost]

I mean pc has had cpu issues, mouse input issues, freezes, crashes, and keybinds resetting at some point

but like, this one issue is one of the major ones that if fixed will make me much more likely to actually fly helis in this game

granted moust input feels so much better now, it's a night and day difference

I'd say the last 3-4 patches have had the greatest impact

[sour steeple]

m16a3 is crazy

[solar obsidian]

where is my dlss 3

[subtle raptor]

Just got in a bf3 conquest 64 that was sick

[pine roost]

I'm liking the acw-r rn

just feels decent

the dot has quite a lot of bloom though which is a bit annoying

although why is it's mag size so strange?

[inner roost]

Should've had atleast 30 for mag size

[tough folio]

i need recommendations for m5a3, im not as good as i imagine

[inner roost]

Try close combat rounds for M5A3

With short barrel

[tough folio]

also feel like my sense lower this update for some reason

[unique kraken]

below radar hurts my heart so much while im flying a little bird

it like, doesnt matter

[tough folio]

already have this, looking for alternative setup

[quiet shell]

because it was 26 rounds in BF3 and DICE is hellbent on that "nostalgic" feel even though no ones playing 2042 for nostalgia

If we want to play specifically with the BF3 ACR we would just boot up BF3 and use the ACR

[pine roost]

even if it is 26 in bf3, why would it be such an unusual number given how most guns set up their magazines

[quiet shell]

because the ACR was OP in BF3 and in 2012 DICE's solution was to reduce it's magazine count. Not reduce the damage or the ROF, but it's magazine size

As you can see, DICE rarely makes good balancing decisions

like when they buffed the ACE 23 in BF4 even though it was already OP

or nerfed the STG in BFV even though it was already a mid-tier gun

[prisma glacier]

Man I was hoping the mobile version wouldn't have to be cancelled. I didn't expect that to happen tbh

[arctic grove]

Seems like they’re serious about 2042 and the next game to do it

[pine roost]

The mobile game was a completely different studio though so it’s development wouldn’t have impacted the mainline games

[tough folio]

mobile games suck imo

[pine roost]

Especially since it had no ties to 2042

[hybrid totem]

What does this mean? Is Little Bird unaffected by the under radar thing?

[arctic grove]

Fuck man I keep forgetting that

[tough folio]

just play real gaems

[arctic grove]

My bad lol

[pine roost]

Also this

[arctic grove]

I guess I just heard it was for more resources

[topaz field]

https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf2042/profile/xbl/vTild/overview

interesting fella right here

[pine roost]

My guess is that it wasn’t bringing in the players or was experiencing technical problems

[tough folio]

nah it works, but your almost countered anyways with m5 and g84 buffs

[hybrid totem]

Honestly, I'm okay with this. Of all the choppers, little bird needed to be nerfed the most

[unique kraken]

below radar is just countered by rao

or infantry

[tough folio]

you shouldnt be happy with liz buffs tbh, that junk is op when used correctly

[pine roost]

I just see it as a sort of qol thing. If you are behind cover recovering, trying to avoid locks, it just ensures you can’t get tagged by something

[unique kraken]

what cover tho

[hybrid totem]

I've been playing with her TGMs, and it's not so bad. I can still dodge them pretty easily

[pine roost]

Yeah the speed of its turn is utterly ridiculous.

Before I would have struggled to come back and get this guy but now it’s a peach

[hybrid totem]

There's a lot of cover on every map, just not near where all the infantry are

[unique kraken]

for air vehicles?

[pine roost]

The overall balance has just been slowly shifting to utter chaos over the last few months

[radiant prism]

Embrace chaos. :)

[tough folio]

this update is pretty good aside from the wack shit they decided to balance lol

[unique kraken]

im all for the classes coming back but what else good was there

[pine roost]

Vehicles being everywhere, all of which having offensive abilities that outclass their role simply means there’s too much third party chip damage. But that won’t change because they refuse to alter physics and remove weapons from them

[tough folio]

more gadgets, and limited rocket spam

[pine roost]

Thus they buff all the counters so each vehicle has a short life rather than a few vehicles being a threat that is predictable

[subtle raptor]

If the aek971 was in aow it would be the best gun in the game

No doubt

[pine roost]

I doubt

You have to consider the average engagement ranges in this game. Far beyond what the aek is suitable for

[fresh lintel]

But also consider: All the Vault weapons are marginally harder to use than the 2042 weapons

[tough folio]

love the constant and steady scope just not working

[fresh lintel]

Even the 93R is harder to use despite it being the meta pistol in BF3

[unique kraken]

also that you get very little customization with the portal weapons

[subtle raptor]

Playing rush with it right now and it slaps

[fresh lintel]

Yeah, at least the base camos would be nice. Especially that Chinese new year camo

[hybrid totem]

Yeah, at least against infantry.

[tough folio]

get this, the sniper profiency is bugged on the gol snipermagnum, yet you can toggle steady breath, and dont have to hold the button to breathe, even while moving

[drowsy shuttle]

Lol cool ty for the info

[fresh lintel]

Kinda wish we got more Hazmat skins for the specialists honestly

Zains BP skin reminds me of the Area 51 Hazmat teams armor

[subtle raptor]

Bc2 rush is amazing

[lusty geyser]

How’s the game been now with classes?

[jovial whale]

Ea is a joke been 80+ hours since I bought the game my Money is off my bank account and now they say wait 7-10 workdays

[tough folio]

ah thats fucking cool, their is kill streak messages now?

[sleek sand]

lf skilled co-pilot

i can gun and fly doesnt matter wich

https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf2042/profile/origin/funcrusher74/overview

[tough folio]

atleast dice was considerate enough to make jet superiority not completely one sided lol. its just two teams of the same sides, so that their isnt a stat difference in jets

[ripe elbow]

Friday-night battlefield mode should always be there a mode where it’s every era and it random on conquest, BT and rush so it keep it fresh without having to leave

[tough folio]

and its cool that they are attempting to add damage numbers back into battlefield

[ripe elbow]

Also wish there was a mode where it just infantry no vehicles like tanks/plane

[radiant prism]

Sounds like your bank is the problem, not EA lol

[winged blade]

When is the G57 getting a grenade launcher attachment

[hybrid totem]

Tdm tho

[winged blade]

So I like playing Support, is the proficiency good enough for SMGs that I should use them or could I use another type of weapon?

[pine roost]

And the counters are actually good too

[tough folio]

guns are still the same as they were without the proficiencies, play what you want

[tough folio]

is it strictly 1-100? or just additive?

[fresh lintel]

The only one that feels really good is Assault and ARs.

[pine roost]

It displays the level of damage you deal through colour coding, and for each enemy you hit it splits up the damage for each person into separate numbers

Teaches players about armour damage bonuses since I guarantee a large portion of the playerbase doesn’t know about it

[hexed mango]

NTW needs the close range thermal now

[tough folio]

so what is the colorcoding, or its specific to your settings.

[drowsy rose]

Rorsch is ruined now

Single shot is absolutely awful

[pine roost]

Basically hitting the front or side of armour displays it as yellow, and hitting the rear is red. Regular player damage is white but headshots are red

It’s so useful

Especially vehicles v vehicles or infantry v vehicle it was practically mandatory

[hexed mango]

its also just nice in general

[pine roost]

Goes to show how much we needed it seeing how many people thought lis did less damage than the m5

[tough folio]

hard cap bro, its balanced now so we dont have rorsch vehicle spmamers

so the more color, more damage

[pine roost]

Basically yeah

[jovial whale]

Bro no my money is gone

[ripe elbow]

But in Conquest/BT

[hybrid totem]

I mean, I'm a vehicle main and I'm sad they nerfed yet another infantry counter to them

[tough folio]

is there a specific known modifier number, and what about attacks from the bottom or top

[hybrid totem]

Just play defenders ... Lol

[drowsy rose]

Cry vehicle mains deserve nothing

You can't even use single in CQC at all

[hybrid totem]

What makes me most sad is that they nerfed what should be an awesome weapon

[tough folio]

mald even more bro, vehicles are so shortlived in this game unless you dedicate to playing it

[hybrid totem]

It's the NTW all over again

[pine roost]

A top down attack from a Gustav deals about 30 damage as opposed to a side shot, below I assume is the same

[hexed mango]

Rao: exists

[drowsy rose]

I'm sorry a weapon that 99% of the playerbase can't use at all gets nerfed to being shit

[tough folio]

it is an awesome weapon, wtf. hitscan sniper? yall lost your minds

[hexed mango]

rorsch shouldnt have been added in the first place, its just a stupid idea for a primary weapon

[fair pilot]

quick question about the new classes and update

does it matter what gun you use based on your class or are they all still equal?

like do classes boost certain guns

[inner roost]

Mk4 doesn't require any skill to use unlike the other snipers

[hexed mango]

you can use all guns as anyone, but certain classes have proficiencies with certain gun types

Assault with Assault rifles, Support with smgs, engineer with lmgs, recon with snipers

the individual boosts are different

[tough folio]

rorsch is cool, but at lauch was diabolical

[pine roost]

Yes. Currently the only ones that offer significant gameplay changes is the assault, but all the benefits are:
Assault - more reserve mags
Support - faster weapon switch time
Engineer - reduced spread when in a low stance
Recon - no sight sway

[inner roost]

Isn't support faster ADS time with SMGs

Not weapon switch

[pine roost]

No they tried ads time but it was too potent, they changed it to draw time

[drowsy rose]

By all means I entice you to go 30+ when alternating between close and far combat

Least the full auto is untouched

tBurst is ass

[inner roost]

I've used it and I have

[pine roost]

Which is still useful since it means switching from an animation like healing to shooting is quicker, just not ads

[hexed mango]

they all offer significant changes... they just benefit more towards the class.
support can fast switch between defib and smg, which is very good for them
engineer with reduced spray is pretty self explanatory.
and recon is immediate and effective lack of sway, which is just perfect for sniping

[inner roost]

Rorsch on launch was the easiest shit to use it didn't require much thinking

[drowsy rose]

Hell you don't even have steady scope with the thing and it tickled vehicles

Still doesnt which is fine

[tough folio]

recon is really buggy lol

[pine roost]

I for one never needed to hold my breath because you’d have to be really far away for that to be of any use

[hybrid totem]

There should be more than one way to kill a vehicle

[inner roost]

There's plenty of ways outside of Rao, soflam, lis, tracer dart, javelin etc

[hexed mango]

Lis? Javelin? AA rocket? Hack? other vehicles? (the rorsch)? Ntw? M5 + soflam?

[pine roost]

And lmg spread is minimal as is so the engie thing would change that much. But it is true that for each class they do offer good benefits

[drowsy rose]

God bless the return of the funny AT

[tough folio]

people act like vehicle counters dont exists when they clearly fucking do

[drowsy rose]

Nothing and I mean nothing is funnier than top attacking a lased target

[drowsy rose]

I hate vehicles mains

[inner roost]

Anti tank mines are good too in breakthrough

[drowsy rose]

It's very funny to bully helicopters

[pine roost]

This game has the most vehicle counters than any other bf I’ve played so people who say that I just don’t understand

[drowsy rose]

It's why I love the TOR

[rocky kraken]

rework of first person animations

[inner roost]

In terms of infantry counters for vehicles, definitely

[tough folio]

go play infantry conquest, tactical milsim boomers never know what they are talking about

[drowsy rose]

Nah see - infantry only is boring

no challenge

[fair pilot]

but what you just listed are boosts not towards guns

so they dont?

or still do?

[hexed mango]

they are towards guns.

[fair pilot]

btw when I say affect guns I mean damage of guns

velocity

all of that

[hexed mango]

read my message above his

[tough folio]

your complaining about vehicles being a challenge but then say you wont play infantry due to no challenge

[fair pilot]

alr

[pine roost]

Each of the guns that Zain listed, when used with those classes offer those boosts

[hexed mango]

it doesnt change all stats. the stats buffed are what @pine roost said

[fair pilot]

oh so if I was to use a lmg on assault

[chilly dove]

Some of them are pathetic in the fact that if specific vehicles were OP, they wouldn't care because they'd claim farming infantry is a BF staple lol. The balance that would work for them is just to limit their ammunition and give them some sort of nuanced resupply/reload mechanic.

[fair pilot]

the dmg and stats would stay the same?

[fair pilot]

but only this would change?

[hexed mango]

yes.

[fair pilot]

ok ty

[drowsy rose]

I never said vehicles were a challenge

I said I love bullying

[tough folio]

ye everything is the same as before the update, just new perks essentially

[pine roost]

You wouldn’t get reduced spread when crouch or prone like the engie can, but everything else stays the same

[hexed mango]

there also isnt a clear "damage" stat, damage is calculated based on the other stats of a gun

[hexed mango]

it would be lmg with engineer or assault rifles with assault

[drowsy rose]

I'm also EXCEEDINGLKY biased as of my 2,726 kills

1012 is with the Rorsch

[tough folio]

30m on the jets are chefs kiss on other jets

[hexed mango]

To make it clearer, ill expand on the list:

CLASS | GUN TYPE | BUFF
Assault, Assault Rifles, 3x Extra Mags
Support, SMGs, Quicker Draw Time
Engineer, LMGs, Less Spread in Crouch/Prone
Recon, Snipers, Immediate and constant steady scope

[drowsy rose]

The steady scope thing SHOULD NOT be there

[fair pilot]

ok I understand now

[hexed mango]

why not.

[fair pilot]

stats dont change

[hexed mango]

they do.

[drowsy rose]

Constant steady w/o a suppression mechanic is awful

[hexed mango]

thats the entire point of the proficiency, you get a buff when using a certain gun as a certain class

[drowsy rose]

I"m a bush wookiee by trade nad being able to hold a zero forever is some honky tonk bullshit

[hexed mango]

how is that awful, its a great buff for snipers..

[drowsy rose]

From a balance perspective giving the funny rifle instant and constant steady is not good

They could've had faster cycle speeds

Or longer steady

[hybrid totem]

I remember saying that as soon as I saw the patch notes

[drowsy rose]

But CONSTANT?

[tough folio]

yeah i dont know the numbers in general, so i just shoot lol

[chilly dove]

steady scope is such a laughable ability. You get pinpoint accuracy without it anyway lol

[pine roost]

I did testing to prove people wrong about lis because it was getting on my nerves

[drowsy rose]

Especially with how 2042 semi plays with BF5's sniper system where the velocity is high and flat enough you can pretty much rapid fire w/o an issue

[tough folio]

the perk is poop anyways, never even needed it, and manual steady literally works better than it

[chilly dove]

Dice... stop reading this message. Don't increase scope sway. ffs

[upbeat sand]

How much VRAM does 2042 use for others?

[pine roost]

They already did

[hexed mango]

using about 4gb for me

or i should say that on my pc, 4gb of vram is being used in total

[chilly dove]

wait really? I haven't been on in a while

[upbeat sand]

Wow that seems a little low for modern games

[fresh lintel]

Probably needs to compensate for Xbone

[pine roost]

The patch notes state it, but they raised the sight sway of all snipers by a fairly considerable amount, as well as medium to high zoom scopes on most guns

So that the recon has a greater incentive of course

[upbeat sand]

Is there more sway?

[hexed mango]

i need new interesting guns to use. im bored

[tough folio]

not that much to be noticable tbh
