battlefield-2042

[limpid pond]

Nah I'm a smg /pistol caliber nerd

[subtle raptor]

The damage stat isn't just the damage per shot

[limpid pond]

I only use other guns to t1 or to master then never touch again

[drowsy shuttle]

If you run the g57 you dont need an smg

[rapid moon]

The cqc rounds on m5 seem to be smg caliber

[limpid pond]

I don't have a single gun above level 40 besides smgs

[limpid pond]

Of course but the general gun is a ar platform so sadly I don't use it

[subtle raptor]

Why do you have to use smgs? Plenty of other fun weapons

[rapid moon]

I dont have a single gun above level 40

[limpid pond]

Because sub machine gun (aka full auto machine pistol) is not in the name

[limpid pond]

I only use smgs because the mobility and the general weightlessness I own one irl

Just not full auto because it's illegal here

[rapid moon]

Im sure you can find the damage numbers pretty easily

[subtle raptor]

Plenty of the ars have similar handling to the smgs

[rapid moon]

Yeah but those are the shitty ar's

Am 40 for example

Pretty bad rn

[subtle raptor]

Aks74u and ak12 have the same handling

[limpid pond]

Of course and some are actually more powerful too. For me it comes with just being able to move effectively and efficiently while having the ability to shoot out so many rpm

[subtle raptor]

Or like you said m5

[craggy onyx]

Teammates are just millstones only useful for stealing kills

[rapid moon]

@limpid pond use the peepee

Its still pretty good

[limpid pond]

Ah yes the pp29 the bizon aka basically an AR in this game. I think the pp29 is great but I don't wanna be that weirdo that uses the best smg to kill people

[rapid moon]

At this point youre making excuses to not play lol

[subtle raptor]

Obviously he is

[limpid pond]

No I've just played since launch and ever since the smg nerf I haven't had much fun playing with smgs

Which is what I'm known for

[subtle raptor]

"weightlessness and mobility" lol

[limpid pond]

Weightless and mobility are a real thing yo how you gonna tell me I'm wrong

[subtle raptor]

Because it's a game and the difference is incredibly minor

The only noticable thing is the ads time

Even that isn't a huge difference unless your talking about lmgs and snipers

[limpid pond]

Smgs in this general game suck though. Dice themselves put in the patch notes saying smgs should jot reward accuracy

[subtle raptor]

Where did they say that

[limpid pond]

In the patch notes now I have to find it

[hot raptor]

EA hire me

rn

[subtle raptor]

I mean smgs shouldn't be able to beam across the map otherwise ars will be irrelevant

[royal swan]

Who made the muddy effect on the player model, wtf were they thinking

[hot raptor]

I will fix the game EA

now hire me

[hexed mango]

you should see boris' legendary skin with the mud

[hot raptor]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

[royal swan]

Rao's skin is non existent

With the mud

[limpid pond]

We feel this change reflects the role of SMG’s; they are not weapons that should reward accuracy versus other weapon types"

[hexed mango]

https://ea.gr8people.com/index.gp

[royal swan]

It covers everything

[hexed mango]

they shoulda just made the damage drop off more present, even tho it was already present enough with the mp9 and k30...

while i dont wish this, nerfing the range of the pp and pbx would of been a better solution.

[subtle raptor]

Their saying in comparison with other weapons

[hexed mango]

MP9 and K30 did not need to get further nerfed after their nerfs in s1

but alex is biased against smgs and cool pistols

[limpid pond]

Yes and that's bullshit

[hexed mango]

as it was at launch

anyways, yall excited for the new lmg :)

[limpid pond]

Like I said smgs suck now

So I'm not playing is all

[subtle raptor]

...so just use the other weapons

[arctic grove]

Are you sure you can’t do m5a3 short barrel cc rounds?

[arctic grove]

new lmg?

[hexed mango]

as per leaks

[royal swan]

For season 4

Leaked lmg

[hexed mango]

https://twitter.com/temporyal/status/1622218487023165442

[arctic grove]

where can I find it?

oh

[hexed mango]

i just sent the link

[arctic grove]

no more lmgs:(

[hexed mango]

we only have 3 lmgs.

[vocal zenith]

i really want to play bf 2042

[hexed mango]

(in aow)

[vocal zenith]

but i have a code hw due today at midnight

fkkk

[hexed mango]

def dont need another AR seeing as we have so much already

coding hw?

[arctic grove]

Procrastinate

it won’t hurt

[vocal zenith]

ive been banging my head on this problem set for 3 hours now

[hexed mango]

send it to me

;)

[vocal zenith]

IT DOESNT work

[arctic grove]

This game needs urban maps badly

lots of them

[hexed mango]

it just needs maps period.
1 map/season is killing me, and they dont have any intention of increasing it...

[hexed mango]

(send it to me)

[arctic grove]

We could use a dawnbreaker

[hexed mango]

well actually first, what language is it

[subtle raptor]

They should add the xm250

[vocal zenith]

i already did, im supposed to watch 10 hours worth of lectures on how to code in python but i skipped it and just yoloed my way through the 15 problem set i managed to get all but 1 problem set solved

[subtle raptor]

Already have the m5/m7

[hexed mango]

https://twitter.com/temporyal/status/1622250561637699584

[vocal zenith]

leme try 1 more time then i will seek help lol

[arctic grove]

I dont want to see another field with a big structure in the middle

[limpid pond]

I mean to be honest idk why it matters to you bro

[arctic grove]

game needs urban warfare

[acoustic seal]

port prise de tahure thanks

[limpid pond]

I'm not even saying g don't play the game like bf 2042 is a great game

[subtle raptor]

It does we got robbed with kaleidoscope

[limpid pond]

Just smgs sick so I'm not playing

[hexed mango]

well seeing how all the season maps havent been that, i doubt new maps will include that
the only maps that are really "bad" imo rn are hourglass and discarded, aka the 2 maps that havent been reworked.
the s4 map, while not necessarily urban, def looks more close than previous maps.

[arctic grove]

It doesn’t ‘need’ it but urban maps are cool

so you ditch the game cause of smgs?

[eager spire]

I thought you were leaving.

[arctic grove]

I've been playing now since the last patch. I am already tired of fighting is open spaces only.

[eager spire]

why are you still here.

[acoustic seal]

yeah, the game desperately needs infantry spaces that aren't terrain bowls for tanks and cringe snipers to shoot into

[limpid pond]

I don't play the game never said I was leaving

[subtle raptor]

It's weird because you complain about an easily solvable issue, there's no reason to only use smgs

[arctic grove]

Fair

[arctic grove]

we ain't that lucky

In that case tho that’s actually saying the game just needs some infantry centered maps but yknow

[arctic grove]

?

[hexed mango]

well... as i just said. the most recent maps havent really been much of "open spaces"
for the most part, all maps have pretty decent cqc areas (again besides the shitty ones i mentioned earlier)

[eager spire]

so it does

[limpid pond]

No I co.plain about a preference a preference like everyone else

[eager spire]

that's not a controversial opinion. Previous games had them. Why not this one?

[arctic grove]

You just joined this server, why does he bother you that much?

[hexed mango]

there are def open maps, again like hourglass and discarded, but of the reworked and new maps, i'd say theyre pretty good at navigating fights to good areas

[limpid pond]

You're thr only one that's for some reason butthurt about my opinion

Idk why

[subtle raptor]

Cause it's random lmao I'm not butthurt

We need a woods or forest map

[arctic grove]

I’d just like everything tbh

[arctic grove]

Its not just about the amount of containers as cover present in a open field. Its about the setting the battle takes place in. Urban warfare with narrow streets and house to house combat hit different.

Giv map

[hot raptor]

im working on the rework for hourglass

[eager spire]

i just think the game severely lacks Infantry maps. Actual infantry maps, not maps that are "designed for infantry" but you can call in vehicles anyway, no.

[subtle raptor]

I actually think hourglass does this pretty well but only in modes like tdm and rush where it concentrates on the houses

[arctic grove]

we don't get new maps. We get reworked maps.

[hybrid totem]

ooh are we going on about how infantry only maps aren't battlefield again?

[subtle raptor]

People should always have the option to use vehicles but they shouldn't always be the best way to fight

[arctic grove]

We get new maps but everyone wanted the base maps functional

So it’s simply a byproduct

[eager spire]

Operation Metro would like to have a word with you.

[hybrid totem]

Remember kids, you can play battlefield without vehicles or objectives, just like you want

[subtle raptor]

You can fit a tank in there somehow

[hexed mango]

well yeah im not saying anything against that, but im saying that that sort of stuff is replicated in current maps, yet in different ways, like breakaway with the glacier cave system, the oil rig, the worker's village, with the cubes and military encampments on spearhead, the ship on stranded, the tunnel on exposure, etc.

of course, urban warfare would be amazing to see, and I do hope we get a good urban map. especially cause hourglass and kaleidoscope could of been great urban maps, but my point is there is pretty decent gameplay present on some of the current maps, albeit not urban warfare.

[hybrid totem]

metro would be an awesome map if they opened up the street level

vehicles get the main strip and maybe the outsides, infantry get the metro below and the buildings lining the street

[vocal zenith]

i am dumb holy shit, i was overcomplicating my code when all i had to due is just compare the size of both sets insted of manually going through each element FKKK i wasted 3 hours

[hybrid totem]

But NOOOOOO infantry only players just have to have their infantry only maps

[eager spire]

oof.

[eager spire]

yes.

[arctic grove]

Didn’t bf3 metro have tonks

[eager spire]

no?

[arctic grove]

Might be thinking of that other city map then

[eager spire]

you're probably thinking of Seine Crossing.

[arctic grove]

Yea

That one

[subtle raptor]

I think the real issue is that bf4 isn't in portal

[hybrid totem]

Why is it so bad to have like 15% of the team in vehicles

[hexed mango]

lmao

[eager spire]

why is it so bad to have a few maps that don't have vehicles in. not like it takes anything from you if you don't wanna play 'em, or wanna play vehicles.

[hybrid totem]

It does, it takes players away

[hexed mango]

2042 if they only focused on aow and not hz

[eager spire]

oh no.

cry about it.

[pale hornet]

Hej guys

anyone for some battles

[vocal zenith]

wow over 50 lines of code and 3 hours of work and the answer is literally just 5 lines of code

[hybrid totem]

Well I don't have to, currently the meta supports my argument not yours

[hexed mango]

#lfg-crossplay

[pale hornet]

inv for some

[eager spire]

the meta? the meta supports your argument? the meta that causes this game to have literally the worst infantry/vehicle balance in the franchise? that meta is supporting your argument?

[hexed mango]

me with javelin and tracer dart killing every vehicle

[pale hornet]

CornyPro nick

[hybrid totem]

It's actually a decent balance, your preconceived "I want infantry only maps" mindset is blocking you from seeing that

[eager spire]

Have you talked to a decent vehicle player in this game?

[arctic grove]

Lis is cracked tho

[hybrid totem]

several, I run with a few

[eager spire]

Well, so have I, and they share that sentiment.

[hybrid totem]

Work on your syntax. They share your sentiment?

[eager spire]

It's nothing to do with my mindset.

They share the sentiment that the infantry/vehicle balance in this game is wack.

[rapid moon]

What is your sentiment?

Im too lazy to scroll up

[hybrid totem]

it's literally right above this message

[pale hornet]

When xp lobby removed ?

[rapid moon]

Yeah i typed that while they sent it

[arctic grove]

There shouldn’t be any problems with introducing infantry only maps

[hybrid totem]

Just splits the already small playerbase even further

[arctic grove]

By simply adding more maps to the game?

That’s not necessarily how it works

[subtle raptor]

Bf2 should be in portal too now that I think about it

[hybrid totem]

I guess you're right, without persistent servers, adding infantry maps would really just... increase the number of people quitting matches

[eager spire]

Portal is a failed experiment. It really shouldn't be worked on anymore.

[subtle raptor]

Nah they should keep portal it's cool

[rapid moon]

Meh

[hybrid totem]

portal is great it just needs its own dev team

and a separate release

[subtle raptor]

Agreed

Agreed again

[arctic grove]

Portal would be fine if it were supported with more maps

[hybrid totem]

Portal really should have... every map from every bf

[limber orbit]

more bfs

[eager spire]

I didn't say it should be removed. I just said they shouldn't really put any resources towards this. The logic editor's great and all but most people just don't do anything interesting with it.

It's all XP farms or hardcore servers.

[subtle raptor]

If it had all the bf2/3/4, bc1 and bc2 content that would be amazing

[rapid moon]

I dont get why ppl want portal tho cause like just play bf4 if you want bf4 content

[subtle raptor]

2042 has better graphics and overall better mechanics

[vocal zenith]

or irish aps lol

[hybrid totem]

I want portal because I want to play a variety of bfs across eras

[subtle raptor]

I just want the old guns and maps

[eager spire]

heaven forbid that more than one person has the same idea.

[vocal zenith]

there is multiple ways to counter tracer dart jav

[eager spire]

you have a limited number of flares.

[vocal zenith]

the only thing jav and tracer dart cant be countered if u tracer dart a person lol

[hybrid totem]

Seriously DICE, can we please just get an ever-increasing number of maps that are each refined for the current generation of gaming

[tough folio]

liz rockets needs a nerf

[subtle raptor]

Pull a GTA and use ai to upscale lol

[eager spire]

i feel like you replied to the wrong message.

[vocal zenith]

nah she actually feels consistant now

[eager spire]

they didn't need the buff.

[vocal zenith]

like before i feel like i was hitting rockets that should have missed and missing shots that i should hit

[arctic grove]

Everyone playing liz

[vocal zenith]

it feels incredibly inconsistent

maybe limit the range back to pre buff but keep the hit box and speed, it make it more consistant

600 m is kinda ridiculous lol

[eager spire]

i don't think the boost needs to be faster than jets.

[vocal zenith]

i can hit helis 2 objectives over lol

[eager spire]

i think that's a bit ridiculous.

[vocal zenith]

even if it is faster than jets its very easy to dodge for jets

i dont think thats an issue

[eager spire]

still. I don't think it's necessary.

[vocal zenith]

the issue is with the increased range it means multiple lis can overlap each other in terms of range and thus making it even more effective againts heli lol

600m is a bit much i admit

[eager spire]

Lis would've been fine if she had a SRAW instead of TV missiles

[limber orbit]

same goes for sundance

[kindred flint]

lis+lcmg

[tough folio]

#streams-and-videos is the reason lis needs a nerf, its almost guaranteed death if your flying the apache or stealth, and the desync from the speed only makes it more overbuffed

[eager spire]

like i don't know why this never came up when they were designing her

[vocal zenith]

the recoliless m5 is actually good now againts heli

i managed to hit a nightbird the other day

[arctic grove]

Seems like they buffed anti vehicle options up so much anticipating that vehicles would dominate again, rather unfortunate but hope this months update brings Lis back down a bit

[kindred flint]

oh right i unlocked the thermal for it in my previous match..forgot to even try it out just now

[vocal zenith]

ap nades on assult is ridiculous lol

6 ap nades is enough to kill tanks i think

[eager spire]

Yeah, no. That didn't end up happening.

[kindred flint]

spent the entire round of orbital running around the B area lol..went up the hill to D once, and E...over at the rocket once

[hexed mango]

they funni

[limpid pond]

When I played the breakaway rework the map was great

[hexed mango]

breakaway rework is amazing.

[limpid pond]

Although I'm alittle sad about the mid map cqb

[kindred flint]

hill sniping still kinda shit

[hexed mango]

made one of the worst maps one of the better ones.

still large map, but so much nice to look at and play on

[kindred flint]

i legit havent even been up on the ice area yet in the 2 matches ive played

[hexed mango]

(me with javelin and someone tracering)

[kindred flint]

i spent so much time around the C caps

[hexed mango]

BT on breakaway is amazing

[kindred flint]

lmao saw someone complaining about attack side on that is bullshit

because a tor can hide behind a little ridge the whole match up there and just free snipe

[hexed mango]

really? in which way?

they do have a bit of vehicles lol

[vocal zenith]

jav tracer combo is a camping snipers worst nightmare

[hexed mango]

so fun

[kindred flint]

....can you tag someone and shoot them with the jav?

[hexed mango]

yes

[kindred flint]

WHY WAS I NOT TOLD OF THIS

[hexed mango]

you can tracer anything

[kindred flint]

how many...hypothetically speaking of course, javelins could be fired at one sniper?

[vocal zenith]

best part is u dont even have to hit them just aim the dart at the groudn near them and the aoe from the jav will kill them

[limpid pond]

Yeah I was confused about the tracer dark gun

[vocal zenith]

everyone on the map

within range

[hexed mango]

hypothetically as many as there are engineers

[kindred flint]

just saying that would make a glorious video

[hexed mango]

1 recon, 63 engineers

[kindred flint]

im in no way salty from cunts who sit in a bush all game with a sniper though

[hexed mango]

1 tracer dart gun
63 javelins

[kindred flint]

like those are the most legit BF players

good team players

[limber orbit]

thats what lis is good for lol

[hexed mango]

i hate playing crawford or boris but i do it to use the javelin

crawford's passive is kinda nice tho

much better than boris'

[vocal zenith]

makes u feel like a god, pointing ur finger at and area and just see explosions

[hexed mango]

yep :)

[limpid pond]

Yo they should real talk add a snowmobile to breakaway

[kindred flint]

really loved the 2 squadmates i had the other day camping ~120m away from either of the Mcoms on rush xl caspian doing fuck all

[tough folio]

crawfords turret is actually fun now wym

[limpid pond]

That would be cool as hell

[hexed mango]

do wish tracer was more rewarding, but sam says theyre working on making it more rewarding for the recon that uses it (like when someone uses the tracer to destroy a vehicle)

[vocal zenith]

javelin + tracer dart is just an expensive mortar lol

40,000$ missiles used to kill 1 sniper lol

[hexed mango]

eh. its still just weird to use, you are still super vulnerable, and while the vehicle damage is really nice, i just dont love it all the time

[hybrid totem]

what if tracer dart acted as a t-ugs for its lifespan

[hexed mango]

i play support on attack tho.
engineer on defense

favorite classes

[vocal zenith]

legit tho u think dice gonna nerf assult's 18 under barrel grenades?

[tough folio]

its cheap af no skill

[vocal zenith]

seems like a big oversight

[vocal zenith]

i mean heli still can dodge it

u know whats cheap

the fact that jav and tracer dart doesnt give warning to vehicles

[wide shore]

Transport helis having 40mm rounds is pretty cheap to me

[hexed mango]

also falck is a support crutch

she is the best support

[tough folio]

thats good, it shouldnt be lovable all the time, other wise it being consistent in all situation would make it powerful

[wide shore]

Falck is Queen support

[hexed mango]

3.2 only made her so much better

[vocal zenith]

arguably the super hind and conder got a huge buff this patch

since every engi carries a repair tool now

[hexed mango]

revive super fucking fast

[acoustic seal]

being able to sustain your own health in a game full of chip damage is very powerful, who knew

[tough folio]

barely dodge it, i play heli and its stupid. shouldnt even be in the game

[vocal zenith]

and crawford fixes thing even faster making helis even more unkillable

[hexed mango]

i meant for reviving skull

[vocal zenith]

idk man i see a lot of nightbirds and stealth helis still able to dodge constantly

[tough folio]

i need not post the clip again of the horrible lis rocket desync

[vocal zenith]

i mean this patch fixes it tho for me, before this patch her rockets are all over the place for me

[hybrid totem]

They definitely reduced the distance at which the rocket screaming starts

[vocal zenith]

like i feel like what should be a miss was a hit and what was suppossed ot be a hit is now a miss before the patch

[tough folio]

fix's for the user, not for everyone else... and its way too controllable, change needs to be reverted. it shouldnt be that strong

[wanton magnet]

Why? There are less rockets now and they fixed the shit diagonal turning

[vocal zenith]

like i said i agree its a bit much in terms of range but it should keep its speed and manuvarabilty, the range should help balanced things out because even when i play lis i feel like i can cover the entire map

1 lis shouldnt be able to cover the entire airspace

[tough folio]

im not saying revert the bugs, im saying revert the speed or nerf it to be a little stronger than it was before.

[vocal zenith]

if they lower the speed lis rockets become inconstant again

not to mention with latency it becomes worse

[royal swan]

No skill? I think you mean "no challenge"

[subtle raptor]

Lis rockets are not strong at all

[tough folio]

it can almost out manuever helicopters and makes the apache and hokum look like even more jokes

[wanton magnet]

They need to buff the speed for those

[subtle raptor]

If you can't dodge a lis rocket you shouldn't be using a heli lmao

[hexed mango]

bruh wtf someone deployed a fire nade in my smoke. i thought smoke put out fires

[subtle raptor]

I've dodged it in the hind before

[vocal zenith]

bruh i still see a bunch of helis dodge lis rockets left and right

[tough folio]

nah they shouldnt, that would just make them too strong, they are heavy helis

[royal swan]

If it's one you can't dodge we got a problem

[vocal zenith]

it not like every lis is guaranteed a hit on every heli now

it still takes some skill to aim and hit things its not like a lock on

[eager spire]

It’s just way easier.

[royal swan]

But if you have your ass chased by multiple, yeah dodging that is difficult

[subtle raptor]

It only gets hard after 2

But there's even less chance that's gonna happen now

[vocal zenith]

thats why i said lower the range of the missiles, keep the speed, if eel like as a lis player now i can cover the entire maps airspace

[royal swan]

I had close calls with it but never died instantly to lis, Rao, or any rocket

Unless a Tor comes to play

[hexed mango]

roa? lol

[vocal zenith]

rao lol

[royal swan]

Tor is on the line that defines skill or no skill

[vocal zenith]

i mean if u hit helis without seige mode def skill but siege mode is just point and click

[wanton magnet]

Now it’s more difficult for helis to go on massive streaks, it’s better this way.

[royal swan]

You ain't dodging a Tor

Unless the Tor is played by someone who is god awful

Like beyond awful

[wanton magnet]

Pretty much.

[vocal zenith]

i mean its also map dependant

sometimes its difficult to target helis on flatter maps

[subtle raptor]

You can't dodge a tor but the average tor player is so unintelligent you can easily outsmart them

[vocal zenith]

you have to be good at positiong to hit helis on some map with the tor

[subtle raptor]

They're only a tier above wildcat players in terms of intelligence

[royal swan]

Breakaway sector two, a Tor can get in a spot that has full view of the sky and is able to kill any condor hovering over the objective

Wildcat are a different story

[delicate void]

hello I'm Brazilian my battlefilde 2042 has a problem an error I play on the pc and now it's showing error 15 600p-;7A

could someone tell me what can be how to fix

??

[royal swan]

Is it spamming

Like you try to join a mode but it instantly gives you an error

And is this error focused on one mode

Like you can play all the other modes but not the one it's effecting

[hexed mango]

i love being top of the board as support

600 points top of my board, top of enemy board was 300

[delicate void]

but my game doesn't even load anything right or enter the tab it stays on the initial screen loading and doesn't load

[royal swan]

Loading bugs are usually a black screen

Do you have a black screen

Or an animation of an earth with no loading icon

[delicate void]

no black screen is not normal loud screen with the landscapes, but it keeps giving connection error but the internet is ok

[hexed mango]

javelin so fun

[royal swan]

Hmmm, strange this error is usually mainstream

Like almost everyone gets it

[delicate void]

the screen stays and loading online server but there is an error

[royal swan]

Does it also say "persistent error"

[delicate void]

15 600p 7a erro

[hexed mango]

probably a login issue

[royal swan]

https://appuals.com/battlefield-2042-error-code-15-7a/

This talks about the 15-7a error

[next gulch]

when you get a fully manned tank with a spotter who actually does something, man is that good

[tough folio]

the f35 sucks so bad bro

[heavy heron]

the new button mapping sucks

[next gulch]

Jets used to be a lot worse than they are now, but yeah, basically Jets are boring as hell

They feel so awful to fly

[tough folio]

su feels good to fly, but the f35 sucks

[plain hare]

Finally got EOD bot mastery T1

F35 blows in this game tbh

Should've gave us the F22 and turned the F35 into an "attack" jet along with an RU counterpart

[limpid pond]

Never been good at flying except choppers so I can't speak much

[ebon pilot]

jets suck because once the one other jet in the match is taken out you're basically left waiting for them to respawn. you can go after helis but because they mostly move vertically so you're gonna fly past them eventually. you can't really deal enough damage yourself to do anything significant.
you could use AIR missiles, but those don't do a lot and have a tendency to miss.
you could use AA but if you lock on, fire, and they pop flares, you just fly right past them and then you have to sweep back around.
you could use AtG to fight ground vehicles but again, if they pop thermals you're stuck waiting a full 30 seconds for ONE ROCKET and by that point the ground vehicle has thermal smokes again

they AtG missiles also have a tendency to just lock onto random empty vehicles on the ground

[calm bison]

25mm and ATGMs is meta for jets

[ebon pilot]

a wildcat is under my crosshair and you pick the vehicle all the way in the back???

[tough folio]

they buffed agms to be better

[ebon pilot]

does it still take 5 years to reload them?

[tough folio]

about 10 -20 but they shoot rapidly now, and does 60-70 damage on a tank in one run

[ebon pilot]

isn't that how much they did before?

[tough folio]

idk,they just feel way better than before

[royal swan]

[arctic grove]

ive never had more fun playing support than i do now

[bitter skiff]

[hexed mango]

i am having fun :(

[hexed mango]

javelin is my cure for depression

the car?

sorry

[lunar finch]

I feel like ive asked this question before but if ur aspect ratio is square is your monitor square?

[hexed mango]

the rocket launcher bruh

anyways look at my fun in #streams-and-videos jake

[ebon pilot]

it's square because I cropped it that way

that's why there's no UI, it's just cropped out

[lunar finch]

oh lol

[bitter skiff]

oh... will do

[next gulch]

man Portal is cringe, nothing but HC servers

[arctic grove]

is it possible to play on NA server if i'm from EU? EU servers are dead at night

[hexed mango]

indeed

[hexed mango]

vpn

[arctic grove]

does that work? ok double lag 🙂

[hexed mango]

youre gonna have lag regardless playing on other servers

[arctic grove]

yeah i know

[limpid pond]

Wait people actually vpn?

[wide shore]

Imagine

[next gulch]

lel what noobs

this post was sponsored by Nord VPN

[limpid pond]

Use code NORD for your first 3 months free

[next gulch]

Free* as in you pay for a year and then get 3 months free WOWOWOWOWOWOW

[limpid pond]

Nah real talk I thought only famous mfers used a vpn to just hide their ip

[next gulch]

no they've gotten very popular for just general privacy, which I think is nonsense unless you are torrenting

[lunar finch]

hc bf players are so cringe man

[wide shore]

It’s good for watching region locked content. But that’s all I’d ever use it for

I’m not very fussed about my ISP knowing my internet history

[next gulch]

yes, yes they are @lunar finch

[limpid pond]

Can't say I've ever been in a hardcore server for more than 2 minutes

[limpid pond]

Yeah but I do that on my phone with popcorn time apk

I don't do much on pc

[next gulch]

people also use VPN to prevent doxing but, eh

[wide shore]

“1000 damage no bullet drop, real hardcore”

Aka “im bad and can’t compensate for drop and just wanna be an annoying fuck with a sniper. “

[next gulch]

last time I joined a HC server on purpose, I shot my teammate in the head and bailed

figured that was pretty funny

[wide shore]

I just don’t get it. There’s games MADE to be hardcore. BF Hardcore just feels wrong

[lunar finch]

there was nothing worse than trying to find an operation locker server and it being HC. immediate leave as soon as the loading screen pops up

[lunar finch]

bf hc is just mislim nerds that wanna larp but can't afford arma

[wide shore]

I mean surely arma or squad is cheaper than 2042

I mean you can even play HLL on console.

[limpid pond]

Yeah the biggest thing is getting shot from oblivion and not having a single clue where it's from

[wide shore]

Or insurgency sandstorm

[arctic grove]

125/150(I forgot exactly) damage HC was pretty fun

[limpid pond]

Squad is the only milsim you need

They even got galactic contention as a starwars mod

Like dude it's sick as all can be

[arctic grove]

I didn’t even join it for milsim intentions, I just wondered how it’d change the games pace up, and it was actually a little bit more tactical in a way

But still fast since the map was spearhead

[lunar finch]

yeah but playing bf for tactical gameplay is just weird

[arctic grove]

By tactical I meant for once I actually used Casper to scout an objective

[limpid pond]

Yeah tbf bf is a very weird tactical shooter due to movement

Tarkov is fire though

Imagine if hazard zone was a tarkov clone

I wouldn't stop grinding

[lunar finch]

lolll

[limpid pond]

Quite literally the only game where I wouldn't use an smg also

[next gulch]

I saw someone on reddit praising HZ, first for everything

[arctic grove]

I don’t necessarily see the problem with the milsim servers since it’s not even new to Battlefield, I remember seeing those guys in 2015 on BF4, although I guess I understand since they fill up the portal server browser

[limpid pond]

Survival looters shooters are mad fun

[plain hare]

True HC 🤮

[limpid pond]

I play it here and there. It's actually fun

Only issue is that it's so barebones

No support

[next gulch]

I just wanted to play some BC2, but nope. I think most people just figured out Portal isn't exactly like BC2/BF3 so they bailed

[arctic grove]

That’s fair

[next gulch]

I know I did when it came out

I was mad

[lunar finch]

hey that ea sponsor doesn't get itself

[limpid pond]

I'm still waiting for that insane defibularor vs knife battle

Yall remember the Christmas infected mode from the preseason?

[next gulch]

yeah that trailer was one big fat lie

[limpid pond]

Now that was fun asf

[plain hare]

Still waiting for robotman

[next gulch]

I just want to use artillery strike in BC2 and annoy people, best gadget. 2042 should add that

[arctic grove]

An air strike was datamined

It’s a possibility it’ll be apart of some squad management system

[limpid pond]

As a streak or like

[plain hare]

Air strike is funny

[next gulch]

nah it's only fun when everyone can do it

[limpid pond]

Oh sick squad management would be cool

[arctic grove]

I would assume similar to BFVs sector artillery

[limpid pond]

I may start playing again since they're gonna revert the extended mag ads nerf

[next gulch]

I played BFV for 250 hours, never got to use the rocket once

[limpid pond]

Bf5 squad management was sick although I believe they should have a system that chooses the best player as the squad leader

[limpid pond]

It was due to poor pick rates for squad leader

[arctic grove]

That would be dope yea

[limpid pond]

Yeah I would prefer not to have the guy camping in the back of the map the squad leader

[arctic grove]

If 2042 got a full 4 seasons for y2 they could polish it up so much with squad management and stuff man

Hopefully they go through to do it

[cold lark]

Wow javelin missile is so trash it does not fly up in the air and hit the tops of anything

[kindred flint]

lmao how the fuck does a team hold the glacier high ground and the low ground almost the entire game...fucking christ people are shit

[arctic grove]

You have to befriend the javelin first

[cold lark]

Hahahahahahahhaha

[kindred flint]

yet again round top fragging with an lmg

[limpid pond]

The squad management feature would probably bring alot of people back and the incentive to be better

[arctic grove]

It would also just generally freshen the gameplay

I like the updates but I wish there was something new to it as well

[lunar finch]

nah not really

[next gulch]

@kindred flint I just recently had that game, I smartly left

[lunar finch]

maybe im weird but

[limpid pond]

Yeah maybe maybe not

[lunar finch]

in all my time on a bf game ive never said "whats up with my squad leader"

[limpid pond]

The update was great. My only issue was the further nerf to smgs

[kindred flint]

I was like 5th on the team for a while just kinda trying to play the B/C caps on breakaway...theeen its like ok how many people can i solo with an lmg before my team helps

[lunar finch]

is the new shotgun worth using like at all?

[limpid pond]

Yes

[lunar finch]

really?

[limpid pond]

Like the one from this season?

[lunar finch]

yeah

[limpid pond]

It's a cqb shredder

[kindred flint]

the double barrel?

[limpid pond]

Way better than the nerfed mcs

[kindred flint]

sorry the reload simulator

[limpid pond]

Wait they added the double barrel?

[lunar finch]

it has 2 barrels

right?

[kindred flint]

err 2 tubes

no its double barrel right?

yeah they just added the suppressor for it

[lunar finch]

it is

[limpid pond]

I was talking about the dp 12

They call it the nvk something

I don't have the game so I can't look right now

[arctic grove]

did the drum nerf make you uninstall?

something still needs to be done about accuracy on console. PC players still too sweaty

[arctic grove]

[lunar finch]

what?

[kindred flint]

im too sweaty because i expect teammates to have IQs above that of an almond 😔

[arctic grove]

it's a hot take but i stand by it

[limpid pond]

Yeah that and just the fact that the pp2000 is utter trash

[lunar finch]

me on console embarrassing keyboard players

[kindred flint]

a portal weapon being trash??

[limpid pond]

I mean the car qbz m4 m16 are all pretty solid guns

Then you look over at the aks and pp2000

[kindred flint]

those are the outliers...the default is them being trash

[arctic grove]

also I'm newerish to 2042. Started with game pass in november, but have they brought Grand Bazaar to portal yet?

So many fun memories there

[limpid pond]

Like why add an smg that takes 6 bullets basically and has a rof of 650

[arctic grove]

P90 still goated. Also bring back the F2000

[limpid pond]

My main issue is jjst the lack of support for amgs is all

[plain hare]

I feel that, when they can't do extremely basic things it's frustrating

[acoustic seal]

average pc players are awful if you haven't noticed, they're the weird kids going 5-13 with 30 revives

[arctic grove]

No new portal maps unfortunately

[limpid pond]

Yeah tbh I'm on console and literally roast pc kids

[arctic grove]

Same selection since the game launched

[plain hare]

Like ya know... Revive when you're a medic in a safe location, drop ammo, not drive away when someone's repairing

[arctic grove]

still, the upper end of PC players with 0 recoil and lethal vehicle usage don't make the game fun. There's at least 2-4 in every lobby on breakthrough and skill gap is enough to swing the game.

Just my 2 cents on it

[limpid pond]

My only ever issue with pc players in bf 2042 was the ultra sweats but I still gunned most of them

Wait why is it showing my damn tag

[arctic grove]

Has anyone had the misfortune of running across Luke Skyfarmer

[limpid pond]

How do I stop it from showing

[final plume]

Why does Zain scream like that when he dies?

[arctic grove]

there needs to be a wilhelm easteregg

[acoustic seal]

sucks to suck i guess

[limpid pond]

Because he likes duck soup

[acoustic seal]

if they're still cleaning matches through the shitty bugged mouse input then they've earned it honestly

[limpid pond]

Yeah jjst leave the lobby

If I ever get the super crazy cracked vehicle pc player I just leave

Other times I'm doing this to the lobby

[arctic grove]

I would if there was more than one joinable breakthrough game going at a time

[arctic grove]

feelsbadman

[arctic grove]

That’s why we need a server br-

[final plume]

He's so dramatic.

[limpid pond]

I'm a little sad about the med pen switch though

I did love my med pen

[arctic grove]

#makereconrelevant

[limpid pond]

Recon just use paik

Or Casper

Casper is great for cameraing people

Paik is good for spotting campers

And Rao is well rao

[plain hare]

Casper is pretty strong, especially on rush defender side

[arctic grove]

give paik vision through walls
recon class bonus: steady aim on snipers

is this cod?

[limpid pond]

Casper in general if you get to an area quickly drone then pop out you'll piss on people

[plain hare]

True

[limpid pond]

Nah it's not cod but it makes her move better and actually recon

I mained Casper for a while he's pretty good if a good player uses him

Paik has had to many nerfs

I think her scanner minimap ping nerf was a bit to much

Also did I mention the pp2000 was bad?

@kindred flint this is why the smg nerf plus the ads mag nerf hurt me and I stopped playing

[plain hare]

Pp2000 is junk

[limpid pond]

Yeah idk why they added it

[plain hare]

Better off using nerf guns

[limpid pond]

I was looking forward to it then got it to level 15 in 3 hours and just couldn't do it anymore

[lunar finch]

omfg that is awful

[limpid pond]

Oh dude it's so bad that's why I just stopped

[lunar finch]

i didnt even know they added the pp2000 lmao

[limpid pond]

Dude it's actually terrible lmao

It's a back shooter gun at best

Or you better chall trash cans

[hexed mango]

lol

vault weapon moment

[limpid pond]

Mp9 is just a faster firing version of it

[kindred flint]

shots 1-5 missed 6-7 hit, 8-11 bad recoil control

[limpid pond]

Yeah It's a new gun I just started using

Matter of it was though my dot stayed on the guy

It's better to miss shots then to not get to shoot any

[lunar finch]

how is the sfar still not nerfed

[limpid pond]

AR moment

[lunar finch]

blows my mind

[kindred flint]

[rocky kraken]

bRuh

[lunar finch]

been a year and the sfar is still the sfar

[limpid pond]

Oh dude the ak12 m5a3 and most other ars do this to subs

If you get headshotted by an AR and you have a sub you lose

No questions you just lose

[kindred flint]

just use pbx

[limpid pond]

I do use pbx

Pbx still doesn't win against the ar headahots

Pbx is great though was my main gun since launch

Besides the mp9

Until the nerfs hit

[acoustic seal]

stopped reading after the first point

[limpid pond]

Same

We're not devs

Only thing I say is give smgs more damage and rof but more recoil with it

[next gulch]

my solution is to just revert everything how it was back at launch

[arctic grove]

I am just speaking to the void idk gang

[sharp marten]

I ain’t reading all dat

[limpid pond]

I wanna be able to gun a ar cqb

[plain hare]

Giving all assault a watered down version of mackay's nimble? Jesus Christ

[acoustic seal]

hey guys wouldn't it be WACKY and COOL if we slowed the game down to a crawl????

[kindred flint]

give lmgs the ability to always have a bipod on and grip secondary

whos with me???

[lunar finch]

😦

[next onyx]

Grip pod.

[kindred flint]

ill take it

[next onyx]

You mean something like this?

[kindred flint]

anything to prevent me from having to fucking constantly think about swapping to it while im running and gunning

no like literally a bipod deployed on the front always, but also a grip where the grip goes

dont tell me the bipod couldnt fold up

[plain hare]

I hate using LMGs so much because of that

[kindred flint]

im not interested in the logistics here ok, i just want to beam people even faster with my 200 round fuck you gun

[limpid pond]

https://1drv.ms/v/s!Au5FxnMvHpBkiHyBDaUzcDyOf0zI

[limpid pond]

Heheheheheh

Yes revert back to launch

[rocky kraken]

let me remove gl on sfar

please

[plain hare]

^^^

[limpid pond]

Oh the memories of launch

[kindred flint]

💀 bro really cant aim

[hybrid totem]

I remember when the 50 mm cannon on the transport chopper and condor were worth a dam

[plain hare]

Ugliest gun to have a launcher is forced to have it 💀

[limpid pond]

Imagine tryna tell the only controller player who doesn't use aim assist that they can't aim

Massive L

[kindred flint]

i watched the clip!

no hit markers=you didnt hit him

[limpid pond]

Damn

You got me there

[kindred flint]

that was some next level server disconnecting there lmao

[limpid pond]

Nah it was terrible hit reg from the beginning

Oh the days

I use to love sliding into a 4 man squad and shooting 30 bullets through 1 guy

I have a few more but I'm not posting one drive links left and right

[plain hare]

I miss the pre-patch 30mm on jeep LATV4

Completely unbalanced but funny

[limpid pond]

No I hated it

As a infantry player that fact that it stunned you into the ground was major bullshit

[kindred flint]

plus the stuttering youd get when shot by it...amazing job devs

[limpid pond]

Yes

It stunned you

[kindred flint]

its like they never....played the game?

[limpid pond]

Like I would actually leave games so fast

Mfers with the latv4 recon just pull up on you and rip your underwear off

[uneven lodge]

why do people not like when the support class plays like a support class

[limpid pond]

Then proceed to give you watery socks and make you walk with them on

[kindred flint]

because youre not giving me ammo

[uneven lodge]

which is to prone machine gun and spray

[limpid pond]

Because support doesn't mean sitting onna hill 20 miles away

[vocal zenith]

remind me not to buy stuff on gamestop website, i got a giftcard for game stop, use it to buy steam giftcard, 2 days now and still no giftcard, its a digital code how hard is it to email me the code

[uneven lodge]

thats called snipers

[kindred flint]

i for one enjoy the engineers getting LMG wep prof instead of support...because now i can piss off infantry with an lmg and vehicles with a launcher

[potent trench]

LMG 200 ammo:
aim down sight really fast

any weapon with drum mags:
slow aim down sight

why is this the case

[limpid pond]

Go to recent purchases and flag it

Lmgs also have no recoil

[vocal zenith]

didnt even show up in my gamestop account

it charged my card tho so it went through

[kindred flint]

sir this is a wendys

[limpid pond]

Oh dude you might be fucked. I would contact them over the phone. Don't settle for that text chat bullshit

[limpid pond]

Damn we got em now

[potent trench]

I thought I'll be playing more Support class after the update
the reality is that I play more Engineer now because theyre souped up as fuckkkkkk

[uneven lodge]

i chuck ammo at people all the time

[vocal zenith]

yea unfrotuantely they dont have customer service on weekends so il contact em tommrow

[plain hare]

I hate that support is just an amalgamation of old assault and support

[uneven lodge]

prone a high activity corridor and people call me useless so i don’t chuck ammo at them and they get mad

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/spam-spam-lite-food-spinning-gif-17955332

K30 MFers

[limpid pond]

I get that

Yo tbh

I seen more people spamming ars even at launch than the k30

I would get that rare k30 sweat who would shit on my pbx at launch

I didn't even use the k30 much either at launch. I don't like to use meta guns unless it's a comp game

[arctic grove]

Did they patch the M39 yet? I haven't tested it out.

[limpid pond]

Is the m39 that lmg

[arctic grove]

the DMR, that might not be correct name

[uneven lodge]

medic is worse like dude i cant res you if you’re down in the middle of a room from running straight into enemy lines and getting mowed by 6 guys

[limpid pond]

There's a new dmr???

Dude I missed out

[arctic grove]

Unlockable Marksman weapon from vault

[limpid pond]

I literally instantly unlocked the pp2000 then stopped playing 3 hours later

The smg being so bad let me down really bad

Like bf5 smgs were fun asf

[arctic grove]

P90 and chill.

[lunar finch]

okay the dp12 is insane amounts of fun

[limpid pond]

Ehhh p90 is fun to use and what I started maining but it's all getting old

[limpid pond]

Yeah it's a badass shotgunt

I got my first 10 man killfeed with if

[lunar finch]

indeed

[limpid pond]

Like 10 kills back to back

[lunar finch]

damage is a lil inconsistent sometimes but thats just 2042 shotguns

[limpid pond]

At point blank range it 1 taps

I did it on spearhead rush

Literally walk in behind people and go ham

Although I recommend not letting it's bullets hit zero because the reload is pretty bad

[lunar finch]

yeah its rough

[limpid pond]

Ya know what else is rough

My mom

Wait

[lunar finch]

💀

[limpid pond]

Oh no way is here

Uwu

Owo

[next onyx]

Pp29, PBX and the p90 are the only smgs worth it.

What have I brought onto this server.

[limpid pond]

Me master

Uwu

Lmfaooooo

[buoyant jackal]

PP29 is OP

[limpid pond]

Pp29 is a lightweight lmg styled ar

[buoyant jackal]

What's the best weapon in the game rn

with attachments

?

[limpid pond]

Sfar still

[buoyant jackal]

I've been melting with the 12M Auto and PP

I wanna try something new

SFAR?

What attchments?

[limpid pond]

12m auro is pretty good go for any ar

[shrewd summit]

Just got back to this, stopped playing a month after launch. I like it, but PC keeps crashing to desktop.

[buoyant jackal]

@limpid pond Which weapon is best and what attachments.

[shrewd summit]

Never crashed before, tried all the usual.

[next onyx]

SCAR with fusion holo, drum mag and arcom is good.

Weird. Skates.

[buoyant jackal]

@next onyx Sure?

[next onyx]

Do you have a crash log?

[limpid pond]

Yes 100%

[next onyx]

Of course I'm sure I have 30k with the scar lol.

[limpid pond]

Way is right

[buoyant jackal]

Oh ok

[limpid pond]

Yeah he's a loser

[buoyant jackal]

I heard its like a laser

[limpid pond]

But then again I almost got 30k with the pbx

[next onyx]

It's a strong ranged ar.

[limpid pond]

It's a strong ar period

[buoyant jackal]

But does it win most gun fights?

[limpid pond]

Mfer is good at cqb too

[next onyx]

Ak24 is a fine assault rifle too.

[limpid pond]

It wins every gunfight

Lol

[next onyx]

Scar wins ranged gunfights. Up close you will suffer.

[buoyant jackal]

So these attachments make it good?

[limpid pond]

Cap get a headahots

[next onyx]

Of course it'll make it good.

[limpid pond]

Like way you can't say that lol

[buoyant jackal]

Im trying to play something that melts fast af

[next onyx]

M5a3 is your close ranged ar.

[severe sierra]

The vector is your best friend

[limpid pond]

It's not

[severe sierra]

Unless this is an AR discussion

[limpid pond]

Do not like to them

[severe sierra]

Nah man I love the vector

[limpid pond]

The k30 or border line trash

[severe sierra]

Thing goes hard

[limpid pond]

Is*

[severe sierra]

I refuse to believe such heresy

[next onyx]

K30 isn't terrible.

[severe sierra]

I love that thing so much

[limpid pond]

Nah I'd have to see clips bruh k30 has bad hit reg with higher mags

[next onyx]

But it's certainly run out of favour as of pate.

[glad estuary]

The RAM needs nerfed

[limpid pond]

It's inconsistent

[next onyx]

Late.

[buoyant jackal]

@next onyx Drum mag is best?

[limpid pond]

It was nerfed like 2 seasons ago and they thought to buff it so I doubt they'll nerf it again

[buoyant jackal]

Im gonnna give the SCAR a run

Ill see how good it is

[glad estuary]

It's stupid little rockets.....

And you can't get it till rank ?

[next onyx]

The scar and ac42 are the best ranged ars.

[limpid pond]

Sadly

[buoyant jackal]

I need something that is well-rounded and melts\

like the PP298

[limpid pond]

Is that a generation zero pfp

[glad estuary]

I'm a helicopter main

[limpid pond]

Man I haven't played that game in a minute

[next onyx]

M16 the m5a3 and the ak24 are the best mid ranged ars.

[glad estuary]

And I always search for the RAM when I spawn

[limpid pond]

Might as well or it'll shoot you down quickly

[next onyx]

Coincidentally the m16 and m5 work better up close but the a91 and the mtar are in that realm too.

[limpid pond]

That's why I don't stay in choppers ram is basically the whole anti air force

[glad estuary]

And it's annoying how it can take a rail gun shot to the face and still drive

[next onyx]

Be me not in the ram and I bully cars.

Nah seriously though.

The ram is a pain to deal with.

[glad estuary]

When I see a RAM I fly over it, jump out and c4 it

[limpid pond]

Tbh rams are really deadly to infantry

Mfers just drive circles around you

[glad estuary]

The RAM is a boss battle

[buoyant jackal]

@next onyx Im missing the drum mag

[limpid pond]

Use the standard mag until you get drum mag

[buoyant jackal]

@next onyx Can you send me the exact attachments you run for the SCAR?

[limpid pond]

Same caliber just 21 bullets instead of 41

[next gulch]

So is that why I was wrecking people with the RAM today lol, very good for infantry with howitzer

[tough folio]

best setup for avancy?

[limpid pond]

It's destroys infantry

Like it's fucked

[next gulch]

Lol

[glad estuary]

It's anti air, Tank, infantry...everything

[limpid pond]

Yeah most tanks can't hit it

And then choppers get bullied

And infantry gets tortured

[glad estuary]

On the Blahe ridge map

The dude just stayed in his spawn

On the edge of the mountain

Camping

.....

And when I came to him to lock on

With my helicopter

He drove near an abandoned tang

Tank*

.....

[buoyant jackal]

ok

the SCAR is broken

LOOOOL

[glad estuary]

Is it a bad thing to want to strangle RAM users

[glad estuary]

It's just op

[buoyant jackal]

Broken

[limpid pond]

Yeah scar I can't stand

To many people use it so I'd rather not

[buoyant jackal]

Its seriously OP

Like a laser

[rocky kraken]

how come the shotguns dont have their own categories

its kinda dumb

[willow sky]

i encounter a shit ton of LMG users

probably more than the SCAR itself

[next onyx]

Scar was even more powerful before but now it's been levelled a bit.

[vocal zenith]

is the scar op tho, i felt like there are better weapons in the game, it only feels op because of how adaptable it is as in it basicly does everything

maybe the 18 grenades bit is op yea but thats it really

[next gulch]

the noob tube will always be OP, but it must always exist

[buoyant jackal]

https://i.imgur.com/xCKQhst.png

[lunar finch]

i mean theres only 3 of em

[buoyant jackal]

Joined a late game

SCAR is fun

Cant wait to unlock drum mag

@next onyx SCAR was fun, PM me your attachments that you use.

[rocky kraken]

yeah but there was like 3 pistols

[next onyx]

I already gave them to you.

Arcom, Fusion holo, Drum mag and 40mm HE and AP.

[vocal zenith]

it seems like ppl stoped bitching about the drum mag nerf lol

when they realized the ads is just a visual effect lol

[eager spire]

Yes cause it’s getting reverted.

[next onyx]

I know how to exploit it.

So it's a non issue.

[buoyant jackal]

whats wrong with drum mags rn?

[vocal zenith]

i mean even when it was nerfed, when u ads with a drum mag your shots still count as ads even though the animations havent finished

its only a visual ads nerf lol

[eager spire]

Still felt bad, and was unnecessary.

[vocal zenith]

yea but i find it funny how ppl complain about lossing gun fights because of the ads nerf even though its not really a nerf more like an inconvenience

[eager spire]

Still. It’s getting reverted. It was a bad idea.

[vocal zenith]

nah it has some good potential for balance because without the nerf, the drum mag is gonna be the obvious choice

[wise heath]

Ban

[eager spire]

Oh well.

[vocal zenith]

like why would i ever use the smaller mag if the drum mag is better in every aspect

[eager spire]

They should’ve thought about that ages ago instead of suddenly deciding that it’s a problem now.

[vocal zenith]

even the reload speed being slower isnt really a con since it doubles the magazine size so its worth it regardless'

[kindred flint]

the k30 doesnt need a drum, 40 round stick is enough

[eager spire]

But it is objectively a downside.

[vocal zenith]

the reload speed?

[eager spire]

Your opinion in this case is worthless.

Yes.

[vocal zenith]

yea on paper its a downside

but when playing is it a downside tho?

i rather have 40 rounds of high power insted of the measly 20

[eager spire]

Could be. If you’re not good at the game.

[wise heath]

If you need to reload, you probably already killed the person

especially with drum mag

[vocal zenith]

it depends with the 20 round mag i can only kill maybe 3 max before reload

with the 40 round drum mag i can wipe 6 ppl easily

[wise heath]

I don’t like the m14 or whatever it’s called

it’s kick is bullshit

[kindred flint]

m39?

[wise heath]

feels like siege recoil

[wise heath]

Yeah

[kindred flint]

lmao yeah its fucking garbage with that recoil to the moon

[vocal zenith]

my point is the small downside in reload speed is nothing compared to the benefit of having so many rounds u can down an objectives worth of enemy

[eager spire]

If they wanna nerf drum mags that bad, they’re just gonna need to figure out how to do that without fucking up the feel of the game.

[potent trench]

tomorrow?

[wise heath]

I doubt messing with drum mags will mess with the game that bad

[eager spire]

I donno when. I just know it’s getting reverted.

[potent trench]

where/when did the dev said that?

just need a sauce is all

[eager spire]

Artificially slowing down the ADS speed for them and extended mags fucked with the feel of the game.

[potent trench]

cause im kinda tired hipfiring my SMGs

We've heard your concerns about the recent Drum and Extended Mag changes as part of Update 3.2. We'll be reverting this change in the near future.

This change didn't meet your, or our, quality standards and we will reassess how to improve and balance those changes for the future

[wise heath]

maybe for you

idk

[eager spire]

Not just for me.

[vocal zenith]

so it seems like they still want to nerf the drum mag from the way the word it

[eager spire]

Personally I don’t think they should bother.

[vocal zenith]

which is good

[eager spire]

You people made the game this way, you left it this way for over a year. Deal with it.

[potent trench]

danke

[wise heath]

What guns can use the drum mags?

I know scar and the vector on top of my head

[eager spire]

You don’t get to suddenly decide it’s a problem.

[eager spire]

AK.

[vocal zenith]

SFAR

[wise heath]

Idk maybe remove them from the bullshit op guns and give it to the weaker guns

[vocal zenith]

honestly i dont know how they gonna rebalance the drum mag

[potent trench]

just make it longer to reload, rather than slowing down aim time

i dont mind

[vocal zenith]

ads speed is really the only metric that makes sense

irl drum mags arent really much heavier than regular

[wise heath]

Or why have a drum mag in the first place? This isn’t cod

[arctic grove]

it already has a longer reload, in a game so centered on being fast-paced theoretically thats all drum mags need is a reload debuff

[eager spire]

But that feels bad and is in contrast to the faster paced nature of the game so fuck that

[arctic grove]

if they really want to look at something maybe just add more v/hrec to it

[potent trench]

kinda hard to nerf this, considering that LMG with 200 rounds ADS very fast, almost no noticeable recoils, and acceptable reload time (for me at least)

[eager spire]

Also, this nerf was applied to extended mags as well.

[vocal zenith]

yea but if they make the reload speed so bad ppl will complain all the same

[potent trench]

but can they at least fix the text description of the magazine tho

[arctic grove]

its reload should just be the way it is now

probably add something like a recoil debuff on top

[eager spire]

I feel like people are overlooking that.

[next onyx]

Extended mags weren't hit as hard thankfully.

[vocal zenith]

the only reason drum mag is BIS is because the reload speed nerf compared to regular mag isnt that big of a deal

[next onyx]

You can feel it but it's not bad.

[eager spire]

Yeah but they were still hot despite nobody wanting that.

[next onyx]

But it doesn't matter cause I'm running a drum mag AK as an assault with 200 spare rounds and nobody's stopping me.

[eager spire]

DICE were told this was a bad change before it came out. They went though with it. And now they’re having to announce plans to revert it 3 days later.

[vocal zenith]

drum mag is almost necessary in this game where there are 64 enemies

[next onyx]

40 rounds minimum.

That's what should be run.,

[eager spire]

They could’ve saved themselves the trouble if they just scrapped this entirely.

[vocal zenith]

ppl will riot if dice removed drum mags

[eager spire]

I meant scrapped the nerf.

[arctic grove]

tbf nobody really thought there was a problem with them until dice were the ones to present that ads slowdown in the 3.2 playtest

[wise heath]

Does anyone else think Boris’ voice sound off?

[vocal zenith]

its not that ppl didnt think there was a problem, dice probly has a way to measure player usage metrics and realized, that everyone is using drum mags, because why the hell not its just better in every way compared to regular mag

[wise heath]

Like when he talks it sounds a bit glitchy and too loud

[eager spire]

Someone at DICE had a fucking rock in their shoe and just decided that it was suddenly a problem after a year that needed to be addressed. It didn’t. That person is an idiot.

[wise heath]

And it sounds delayed too

[vocal zenith]

like the moment u unlock a drum mag just use it, no point is not using a drum mag

the only other choice is the cqb mag

[arctic grove]

that makes sense tbh

[solar obsidian]

got dlss 3 working with backlight strobing

[arctic grove]

although its weird they bothered with em like that

[eager spire]

It wasn’t necessary. DICE should’ve seen this coming.

[vocal zenith]

dice probably had more pressing matters than nerfing the drum mag thats probably why they waited so long to adress the problem

like idk fixing the game from the broken state at launch

[eager spire]

Well, that’s their fault.

[arctic grove]

true

[limpid pond]

They should add the pink glock dance to bf 2042

[arctic grove]

would explain why they suddenly decided to fuck with them

[limpid pond]

That would be funny

https://youtu.be/TMkT92EuzEM

[vocal zenith]

go the cod route and give me anime skins for my glock

[arctic grove]

at the very least that means they're ready to move onto more trivial means....

...

[limpid pond]

Imagine clapping someone with a execution like this lmao

[wise heath]

Cod has Snoop Dogg

Battlefield gets Kanye

[limpid pond]

Might as well right lmao. That vanguard anime skin though was tuff

[limpid pond]

Lmao kanye

[eager spire]

Why

[wise heath]

Kanye is awesome

[limpid pond]

Get a kanye skin or Pete davidson

Get both lmao

[arctic grove]

kanye makes good music but microphones need to quit being put infront of him on these talk shows
