battlefield-2042

[next onyx]

You're not really specifying how.

[pearl ridge]

I assume it’s the lack of score it gives

[limber orbit]

nah bro they brokey cant you see its right there

[wise heath]

I assume it’s because no one uses it

[buoyant jackal]

It doesn't register properly. Ex: You will get a hit-marker indicating you hit the vehicle (Air/Land) but the Yellow Indication square isn't present despite the actual hit-marker confirming you hit the vehicle.

@next onyx

[next onyx]

There we go.

[buoyant jackal]

It's broken.

And very inconsistent

Sometimes it works as intended, but majority of times it just doesnt work.

[next onyx]

I've observed it working consistently but I wonder if it isn't just showing that they are designated.

[buoyant jackal]

Could be both a visual and actual thing happening.

[wise heath]

Champion muzzle brake

Or ghost hybrid 1-4.5

[next onyx]

Why you ask?

[wise heath]

It’s for the gvt

[arctic grove]

40 minutes left

[limber orbit]

for a nuclear winter?

[arctic grove]

no

for a nuclear summer (and battlefield 2042 being installed on my pc)

[limber orbit]

sorry to hear that

[arctic grove]

the nuclear summer thing or the battlefield thing

[limber orbit]

bf thing

[arctic grove]

why

[limber orbit]

why not

[upbeat sand]

Is there anytime to fi ish my T1 seasonal

It's at 1057/1150

[next onyx]

Plenty.

[low timber]

I could probably get the T1 badge for S3 today

[solar obsidian]

well time to get some hours sleep

[upbeat sand]

Remember,

No xp share

[pearl ridge]

If an enemy is further than ten metres away, the 880 shotgun will simply Not Do Danage

Jesus this thing seems to get more useless with every update

[arctic grove]

finally, 98%

[low cypress]

Hello everyone!

[arctic grove]

hey

[low cypress]

I’ve just been woken up to what is believed to have been an earfquake

Very fun

[arctic grove]

check the local news

[low cypress]

It’s all over Facebook n Twitter lmao

Everyone where I live is talking about it rn

[arctic grove]

then, it wasn’t just you

[low cypress]

Indeed

[arctic grove]

also, i’m downloading battlefield on origin

after i downloaded it

should i atleast open it or can i install ea app

battlefield finally downloaded!

[spring shell]

Is crawford Vulcan bulletproof for user ?Shield of it to be specific

[low cypress]

it is

Until it’s broken

[next onyx]

There's a small hole that you can shoot through.

[pearl ridge]

Sometimes I decide to give the shotgun another go because surely it’d work this time and it never does

[upbeat sand]

Up too you

[upbeat sand]

Origin has a fps overlay, browser, will acsess to origin in the overlay

Ea app has a much better UI and might be more responsive but the overlay cannot show FPS and only shows your friends like and chat

[pine roost]

origin is now starting to delete itself to replace it with the EA app thing, I had no choice when I booted it up so I'm guessing it's past that point where you can actually use origin

[lucid goblet]

Latest podcast episode is live https://open.spotify.com/episode/50DMhwAx3JLEXW2kmtSYi0

[upbeat sand]

A.ready am

[modern sentinel]

Hi all, is there a way to message a dev?

[pine roost]

what about?

[lucid goblet]

You can post any questions/feedback to them via AHQ https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-2042/ct-p/battlefield-2042

[upbeat sand]

Well you can @ Alex but I won't recommend doing that a lot

If you want to give feedback you can go onto the EA Awnsers discussions

[pine roost]

oh dang this is the q and a podcast?

[modern sentinel]

🤣

[pine roost]

I forgot to ask them something

maybe next time

[upbeat sand]

I just did the # and said if FSR and Vault weapons overhaul was planned

On twitter

[pine roost]

How'd you send it through on twitter?

[modern sentinel]

I’ve thought of something after getting an a$$ whooping on renewal map , every base captured by enemy team and 500pts advantage

[upbeat sand]

They said do the #insidebattlefield on twitter to ask

As one of the ways

[pine roost]

I sent an email once saying how I appreciated the podcast but didn't use twitter at all

[upbeat sand]

There's another way

[eager spire]

I have quite a few questions but i don't think they'd answer any of them.

also i don't have Twitter.

[pine roost]

I can imagine

Very specific stuff I doubt they'd comment on. But this is the list of points for this qna

[modern sentinel]

I’ve noticed a lot more lately either the winning or loosing side is always 200 / 300 pts ahead or behind and I’ve thought of something , probably a crap idea but meh never know lol

[eager spire]

Continuation of 2042's narrative
people care about that?

[upbeat sand]

Ok I like how the cookie thing is becoming a reoccurring joke

[eager spire]

Priorities for developing new content
if the first answer to that question isn't "fuck it" then i feel like they're lying

[pine roost]

If it didn't have specialists in it i'd probably care more, I think it's a neat setting. But they just kind of sour the lore for me

[tardy tree]

i do lmao

[pine roost]

but others must love it

[limber raft]

They didn't cover any of the community concerns about most-requested features. Very disappointing.

[eager spire]

I like the concept of this setting but it doesn't do anything for me as a multiplayer shooter setting.

[pearl ridge]

I don’t know why everyone likes Arica Harbour so much, every match there sucks every kind of balls

[eager spire]

Of course not

why would they do that

why would they cover any community concerns

[modern sentinel]

Like if a dev shoots down my suggestion I will go back to my hovel and wonder about the what ifs to my idea lol but until then , it’s something that would help the loosing side catch up and keep adrenaline going on conquest rounds

Best rounds I’ve found are ones where the points are very close when the match ends and it’s like darn it I should of won 🤣

[pine roost]

Post it on the general discussions page of the forums, the devs look there more than anywhere else so that's your best bet

[modern sentinel]

But that’s so rare 😦

Interesting ok I will try that 😀

[eager spire]

#insidebattlefield What The FUCK does the process for porting Portal weapons from there to AOW look like?

[wide shore]

Yes

[pine roost]

I was going to ask about the standard of quality in games and whether the advancements in development tools have sort of evened it out, but based on releases these last few years I'm guessing it takes just as long or even longer

[eager spire]

I really want to know that, because the amount of issues that have come up in regards to Portal weapons is hilarious.

[modern sentinel]

I’m crap at drawing concept art but thankfully someone online has drawn the feature beforehand , it actually fits into the whole battlefield 2042 art too

[arctic grove]

BF2042.exe is the exe that is launched?

i forgot to press the add to desktop button

[pine roost]

you should be able to create a shortcut from within the app

is it origin or the other one you are using?

[arctic grove]

origin

[eager spire]

also #insidebattlefield does the person that said that SMG's should not reward accuracy versus other weapon types still work at DICE

[shy latch]

the answer on 44:25 is definitely a no

[pearl ridge]

Hourglass D definitely has the single worst spawn positions in the game

It literally just dumps you into the open middle of it, no matter what’s happening

Could be getting assaulted at all sides and it’ll still drop you into their gunsights

[eager spire]

if someone has Twitter and is willing to toss those questions the next time a Q&A happens i'd appreciate it

[arctic grove]

nevermind, figured it out

[pine roost]

yeah the podcast isn't going to delve into the really specific issues, as much as I wish they would, I can say for certain they won't cover that smg thing

[eager spire]

I think asking if someone who said a thing still works there is nonspecific enough

[shy latch]

well...also Orbital spawn isn't the best one, especially B1 when you spawn in the middle of grass under everyones eye

[arctic grove]

i just went to the gane’s installation files and took the file name BF2042.exe and made a shortcut

[modern sentinel]

I’ve been re directed on the general channel to this thread in the hope of contacting a dev somehow

Sadness lol

[eager spire]

It's not guaranteed that a dev will show up here.

[pine roost]

well the rules here state you can't directly contact a dev but as I said the general discussions forum is the de facto best place to go for the highest chance

[arctic grove]

bf2042 is so fun, you guys were right

[pine roost]

Like I made a suggestion there about zain's passive trait and it got picked up, and they pushed the feature I asked for which was really nice and well appreciated

[arctic grove]

passive trait?

[modern sentinel]

It’s that feeling of I might be sat on an idea to develop the game further 🤣 I mean who doesn’t think like that sometimes haha I can’t play the game now without thinking “this would make it so much more intense”

[pine roost]

basically it makes a heartbeat sound effect when it activates, which makes me feel sick and others too based off of the likes of said post. I brought it up and they added a toggle to remove that sound effect :)

[arctic grove]

ah

[pine roost]

a minor thing but still shows they listen

[arctic grove]

true

but what is the best assault specialist?

[modern sentinel]

it would fill a gap on conquest for the loosing side to hopefully catch up and enable something to be deployed

[arctic grove]

i’m currently using zain

[lucid goblet]

As i said already,post over on AHQ

[pine roost]

zain is great for sustainability as he regains health on kill, but mackay has the greatest in combat potential due to his strafe speed and movement which is so versatile it's crazy

[arctic grove]

ah, what level do i need/what do i need to do to unlock mackay?

[pine roost]

dozer is only really good for covering teammates and potentially gathering info from a peek but isn't all that useful, and sundance is very dependant on the type of terrain you are playing on

[next onyx]

If I remember correctly.

[arctic grove]

hm

oky

[next onyx]

Dozer having an expanding shield would make him so good for pushes.

[arctic grove]

dozer is really only good for pushes

drum mag is being reverted 😍

i’m just looking for speed and a grapple hook

[grizzled whale]

okay so who said classes was gonna make the playercount skyrocket?

its the same as before

[arctic grove]

no one but it’s a better feature now

[grizzled whale]

no its not

[shy latch]

probably just dumb people thought like that

[arctic grove]

classes are basically categories for specialists

[grizzled whale]

adding classes did nothing but please people that hated the game

[eager spire]

i don't know. I distinctly remember someone saying that but i don't know who.

[grizzled whale]

should have kept them out and put them back in the next game

[eager spire]

but then again people also said that this update would be a buff for vehicles.

lmao.

[upbeat sand]

Imagine is 2042 had bf1 styled pick up classes

And an extra op dozer existed

[eager spire]

NO

FUCK THAT

THAT WAS STUPID

[arctic grove]

dozer cant be op

he will never be op

[upbeat sand]

It's like a melee version of the YATATATTTAA

[arctic grove]

break away looks fucking dope now

[grizzled whale]

first time i uninstalled 2042 since launch

[pearl ridge]

Combining support and medic was stupid. Getting ammo was hard enough and now they’re probably using med crates instead

[grizzled whale]

and i dont plan on reinstalling any time soon

[pearl ridge]

Bfv forcing supports to carry ammo was inspired

[arctic grove]

okay

[upbeat sand]

Breakaway looks rn looks like bf4's 1% of good maps

[grizzled whale]

imma create a petition to remove classes again

[modern sentinel]

Which channel is that ?

[pearl ridge]

When’s the last time you saw an Angel throwing ammo

[upbeat sand]

No recoiless?

[upbeat sand]

Me

[arctic grove]

just gotta accept what it is now

[shy latch]

I'm with you Skipper, classes don't belongs to 2042

[pearl ridge]

They don’t even know they can do it

[pine roost]

Using med crates on falck is a silly idea, using ammo crate on angel is a silly idea, I've not seen anyone run those combinations on support

[slow tulip]

Older titles had classes

[arctic grove]

assault is technically support now since you can revive your squad

[jovial whale]

what assualt rifle should i use

[grizzled whale]

and?

they dont belong in 2042

[pine roost]

it just makes no sense when their specialty gadget does the same thing but better and more consistently

[lucid goblet]

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-2042/ct-p/battlefield-2042

[grizzled whale]

past games, yes

[upbeat sand]

But engineer and recon can also do that

[grizzled whale]

future games, yes

[slow tulip]

Assault isn't supposed to be a sniper

[pearl ridge]

Bruh 2042 doesn’t even belong in battlefield

[winter swan]

Love running out of ammo as assault since no one is using support now

[arctic grove]

you can just redeploy

[shy latch]

I know, but as I stated several times already: older BF titles were developed with classes in mind, 2042 didn't, instead it was developed with specialists

[upbeat sand]

Bruv

[next onyx]

It's annoying I can't run an ammo box anymore but the compensation in more ammo for assault rifles helps.

[upbeat sand]

Well you can pick up a little off enemies

[eager spire]

you can go redeploy, that's fucking up your stats.

[upbeat sand]

Or just pick up the enemies gun

[winter swan]

Barely any you mean

[upbeat sand]

Or switch amo type/mag

[grizzled whale]

"classes will bring back teamplay like in the old BF games"
Except people will now remember that teamwork was barely a thing in previous games. so now they dont get revives, ammo, all that

[next onyx]

3 extra mags.

[eager spire]

i don't think anyone with a brain was seriously saying that

[slow tulip]

They can still fix it, weapons are there already

[grizzled whale]

oh they did

[pine roost]

teamplay is all accidental anyway

[arctic grove]

The BF community will never be satisfied,doesn't matter if they succeed to make the greatest battlefield ever there will still be some whiny kids complaining about something..

[pearl ridge]

It’s not our fault 2042 was designed in such a way that half of its mechanics are selfish

[winter swan]

Ah yes the one thing I want to fuss to do when in the middle of a gunfight

[upbeat sand]

I still don't like that support still has access to sniper files

[pine roost]

for me it brought back consistency, and allows for more precise balancing changes to be made to individual gadgets

[slow tulip]

Bf2042 was delivered half baked

[upbeat sand]

I can do it on the fly quickly

[shy latch]

team play is the same as before, still now it happens to me that medics walk nearby while I'm safe, but no reviving and run away

[arctic grove]

2042 is good for me, i hate leaning anyways

[upbeat sand]

That's EA for ya

[arctic grove]

literally every single BF has been launched half baked.

[pearl ridge]

Why do we not have loadout options for individual specialists

[winter swan]

From 4 onwards yes but before then they weren’t

[slow tulip]

There are people defending bf2042 for it's weird class system that isn't a class system at all

[arctic grove]

what do you mean?

[low timber]

And the times you find one and run to it to just despawn right before you get into the radius.

[arctic grove]

the way i see the new class system is categories for specialists

[pearl ridge]

Equipment that works well with one may not do so well with another, even if they are officially the same class

[arctic grove]

did you play bf2 beta?

[pine roost]

Removing loadouts outright is a bit annoying

[pearl ridge]

For instance, Lis having every launcher locked away, forcing you to dick around with getting another one before you spawn

[pine roost]

they could have had 2 or 3 sub loadouts or sub class type things where you can name them what you like

[fervent rose]

medics no longer being able to rocket is definitely a move in the direction of BF classes compared to the absolute randomness of launch 2042

[shy latch]

they can't "fix it", specialists are still the game core, to fix it means they have overhaul and remake a tons of stuffs, so it's easier to do it from scratch with the next BF title

[next onyx]

All the specialists play differently.

Well. For the most part.

[upbeat sand]

What happened s when you click on a angel crate rn I haven't done it yet

[winter swan]

That’s interesting you say that, was the beta the full game? Was it called battlefield 2 beta full game? It’s a beta for a reason

[next onyx]

I just use the loadout crate for ammo.

[slow tulip]

Before the new update EA said class system is back which was a couple of months ago that basically names for specialists didn't restrict anything, now they just restricted gadgets and throwables

[arctic grove]

i’m not gonna include myself into this convo since bf2042 is fine for me

[pearl ridge]

Boy I sure love tagging an enemy chopper with a tracker only to see every engie being a Lis with shit marksmanship

[fervent rose]

they also gave each kit a free gadget, ive seen way more repairing since engineers get free repair tools

[slow tulip]

They can restrict the weapon selection by classes

[pine roost]

I've not yet either in all honesty

[fervent rose]

and the new defibs are great

[pine roost]

I just use his dispensable ammo pouches

[grizzled whale]

2042 was fine for me

[next onyx]

Don't think I've played support yet.

[grizzled whale]

it was better than fine, it was my favorite BF game

[next onyx]

Been too focused with assault.

[grizzled whale]

untill classes

[upbeat sand]

Trying to manual and then some rando rushing over and taking it as you release is annoying and can end up all 3 of us getting killed

[pearl ridge]

You have shit taste

[slow tulip]

In bf5 you could refill From the bases

[shy latch]

they can't because there are few weapons compared to any other BF title; and btw will still change nothing

[arctic grove]

ye, i meant it’s the best game i’ve ever played

[pine roost]

support is insane for sustainability

[grizzled whale]

not a matter of taste

[fervent rose]

same as it ever was, bf medics clumping like idiots gets you killed

[grizzled whale]

if i have more fun in 2042 than any other BF game its not a matter of taste, its personal experience

[arctic grove]

i just use assault since you can revive teammates and heal yourslef

take it easy.. we're just on 3.2...

im sure it will become better..

[upbeat sand]

YES
YES
COOKE OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEK

COOKIE
OF
THE
WEEK

[next onyx]

I'm with that Skipper.

[grizzled whale]

if they remove classes it will

otherwise, meh

[next onyx]

Personal experience is what set bf5 for me.

[shy latch]

what the....? Beanie, are you ok?

[grizzled whale]

no reason to reinstall

[arctic grove]

true, games become better over time. just like how bf4 became one of the best bf games

[upbeat sand]

The podcast just got to the brand new cookie of the week

[low timber]

Way, I got the GVT to T1 yesterday

[next onyx]

The beta for me played on an extremely strong not for me.

NICE.

[pearl ridge]

Oh for fucks sake is exodus running anything but Caspian border

[fervent rose]

what combo got removed that is so world ending to your playstyle @grizzled whale

[grizzled whale]

untill i can use a spawn beacon as mackay again, mw2 it is

[slow tulip]

Ammo cache and medkit locations by the flags would be nice instead of waiting for your teammates to drop ammo for you and heal you

[low timber]

My Playercard now has GVT, M44 and Ghostmaker T1 badges

[pearl ridge]

I’ve had four fucking Caspian matches today

[arctic grove]

ye.
E V O L U T I O N

[fervent rose]

yea see, mackay beacon was op, im glad its out of the game

[upbeat sand]

I remember going up to 50-3 kills in the beta and then playing launch and in my mind I was just going "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY AIM"

[fervent rose]

ive used it enough to know

[grizzled whale]

wasnt OP

[next onyx]

There's a bug with Nvidia graphic cards and discord huh.

Where your GPU clock would be reduced by 200 MHZ.

[fervent rose]

it disrupted game flow, it was op

[grizzled whale]

70% used either mackay or flying squirrel, so they could easily get up to where you put it

mackay spawn beacon was a great way to distract your enemies

[pearl ridge]

“It’s not op” says man illustrating why it’s op

[winter swan]

Yep for me it’s just making some of my games hitch and stutter badly

[upbeat sand]

Ima be honest

I've bearly seen any sundance through my entire gameplay starting from launch

[pearl ridge]

Fucking hell do you even listen to yourself

[grizzled whale]

im explaining why its not op

[fervent rose]

you can still get beacons in obnoxious places, its just more fair now

[next onyx]

You don't need to be rude Tano.

[upbeat sand]

Only time I did see a sundance spike was then they found out sundance was broken on exposure

[grizzled whale]

if 70% of players can easily get to your spawn beacon how is it op

[grizzled whale]

ive seen a lot

[arctic grove]

my bf game didn’t stutter at ultra and at my preferred graphics level

[pearl ridge]

Because some of us don’t play Fucking Sundance genius

[upbeat sand]

Thanks Oce for all makay

I've been enjoying Crawford and Boris

[grizzled whale]

if mackay putting a spawn beacon up break the game flow, then a flying squirrel being able to get to the other side of the map in seconds is breaking the game flow too

[winter swan]

I’m on low everything and I stuttered a little but it seems to have stopped now for me

[fervent rose]

i agree sundance sucks for Battlefield gameplay

[grizzled whale]

besides, they also nerfed mackays grapple range

[pearl ridge]

IT DOES

[arctic grove]

i have high and a couple lows

[upbeat sand]

They make me feel like I'm playing BFV assault parcially

[grizzled whale]

so any good spots you could get to you no longer can

[fervent rose]

sundance's wingsuit is complete cheese

[upbeat sand]

It's probably the shader cashe loading

[next onyx]

Here's one way I look at metas. If you need to go out of your way to play as the same character as your enemy to counter/check them then that's an unhealthy meta.

But it's usually how constrictive it is that depends.

I don't think Irish spam is particularly bad versus people being forced to run their own Mackay to counter another Mackay.

[winter swan]

I know, I’m in my third game and having no hitching or anything, but other games like division 2 and mw2 and some others I get it a lot now but it’ll get fixed soon enough

[next onyx]

Though this is just what I learned from competitive pokemon.

[upbeat sand]

2042's balance with the specialist is very nice with them being both powerful but not OP

And Crawford is mid

[upbeat sand]

I DONT use battle style set so I get Insta stomped in unranked

[arctic grove]

i can't even fly her 😂

[fervent rose]

just having launcher + repair tool makes crawford good at certain things

even if the turret is very situational

[upbeat sand]

The MG's main problem is the spread and how vulnerable it leaves you

[next onyx]

Ultra sun moon with the battle poses oh man I love that.

[fervent rose]

i hate the long hold to pick up the turret

feels so ass

[upbeat sand]

Magikarp tackle Zmove

[arctic grove]

i love 2042 ❤️

[upbeat sand]

Yeah Crawford should probably as least have a little extra movement

It being completely stationary isn't that good

[fervent rose]

picking it up should just be a single press

so he can be more mobile

[next onyx]

I did joke to Vanta and say have it on a Trolley.

A moving turret on a trolley.

[upbeat sand]

Why are they talking about pizza salad and Italians and sweedish pizza on the battlefield podcast

[shy latch]

imo the best engineer right now is Lis, but due to her tv missiles she can't equip half of the gadgets....

[upbeat sand]

Just have it on one of those kids things they drag around

[next onyx]

Nah.

I don't really make videos.

I do play with my friend who streams though.

[jovial whale]

whats the fastest way to level?

[next onyx]

And he plays from Friday to Sunday.

Support with the ammo and the med pen gun.

[low timber]

Way would put all the big pro players out of a job

[upbeat sand]

I'd say play support and hazard zone

Heresy

We accept your kind here

[fervent rose]

falck definitely, but for attachments play solo breakthrough vs bots @jovial whale

[shy latch]

conquering objectives, reviving, supplying, pushing and killing

[upbeat sand]

Logistics i think gives you the most Xp

Just don't go for intel

[shy latch]

but all together gives you more XPs

[upbeat sand]

(Intel as in intel not Intel intel with the computers)

[shy latch]

🤦

[upbeat sand]

Intel not intel

Obviously

[winter swan]

But intel though

[shy latch]

what about Falck with stim and ammo crate? 🤔

[fervent rose]

angel is great for xp too

[shy latch]

so right now Angel and Falck can do roughly the same things as macro category; that's a dupe

[upbeat sand]

No intel not Intel

[winter swan]

But is Intel just intel? Cause intel is Intel that has intel?

[upbeat sand]

Intel does make intel but Intel is not the same as intel

Cause we are talking about intel not Intel

[winter swan]

But at the end of the day intel is Intel cause it’s intel that heaps Intel that is made from intel so it becomes useful and stays as Intel

[upbeat sand]

Obviously

O void

O spuds

[winter swan]

😂

[upbeat sand]

It won't let me spell

[slow tulip]

Avoid Nvidia for now

[sharp marten]

Good morning gamers

[upbeat sand]

There we go

Fixed

[slow tulip]

AMD and Intel both charge a lot less than Nvidia

Ohh no, no voting unlike bf1

[winter swan]

That’s what portal is for

[upbeat sand]

Dice are looking into the map rotation stuff rn and are fixing it

Trying to help to stop people from getting the same map twice

[fervent rose]

game's too small for even a map priority system in your matchmaking

not worth it

[slow tulip]

Bf2042 don't have a wake island map

[signal basin]

Voting can sometimes make some maps extremely rarely played.

[winter swan]

Out of the 4 matches I’ve played I’ve had each map different

[pine roost]

I don't even want voting tbh, I just don't want to queue into maps I do not enjoy playing and would leave anyway

[upbeat sand]

Imagine a increased militarised/flooded version of wake island set in 2042

[fervent rose]

@slow tulip they've had wake island too many times now

[eager spire]

"That's what Portal is for" maybe in theory but in practice people just run XP farms or 1000% Hardcore servers so it's not very good.

[winter swan]

Map voting doesn’t belong in battlefield it should be cod and halo only

[upbeat sand]

MORE

I NEED MORE

[eager spire]

Honestly, AOW just needs persistent servers.

[eager spire]

disagree.

[slow tulip]

Bf2042 have wake island?

[upbeat sand]

NO

[slow tulip]

Older titles does

[fervent rose]

no and it doesnt need it, it needs better maps

[slow tulip]

Wake island is better

[upbeat sand]

Breakaway is really good rn

[fervent rose]

like give us karkand not boring stuff like wake island

[winter swan]

Strange I guess I see different lobby’s than you do cause yes I do see both of them but I see many more

[slow tulip]

I remember playing wake island on bf1942 in the late 2000s

Give us the Shanghai map from bf4

[upbeat sand]

Jesus no

Not shanghi

[winter swan]

Hell no

[fervent rose]

that might be the s5 map

[winter swan]

Give metro and locker

[pine roost]

shanghai is good for the spectacle and nothing else

[fervent rose]

if it is shanghai there wont be levelution

[acoustic seal]

map voting doesn't belong in battlefield because you can't trust people like this ^

[slow tulip]

Wake island is very good bf2042 should add it

Wanna fly jets on that one

[upbeat sand]

24/7 sani desert

Thanks voters

[fervent rose]

yea sinai spam made no sense

[slow tulip]

Bf2042 needs a map with islands

Also add boats

[upbeat sand]

Flooded London

We need a flooded London map

[acoustic seal]

please stop, this game already has problems with putting lots of unusable open space in maps

[jovial whale]

i hate spearhead

[fervent rose]

if you hate spearhead what is your favorite

[winter swan]

Just bring back the maps from bf4s navel strike dlc

Problem solved

[upbeat sand]

Ima be honest

I hated naval strike

[eager spire]

Why, the Naval Strike DLC was ass.

[fervent rose]

thats a mid at best DLC

[acoustic seal]

the naval strike maps sucked then and they'll suck now

[eager spire]

Most of BF4's DLC was kind of mid tbh

in fact most of BF4's maps are kind of mid.

[fervent rose]

yep

[eager spire]

Map design was not a high point of BF4.

[fervent rose]

bf4 maps leave a lot to be desired

[eager spire]

Like, if they remade the BF3 Close Quarters DLC maps for BF4, that'd be great.

[winter swan]

Well the map that had that point in the middle with the crashed plane IMO was a decent map from bf4

[slow tulip]

Bf4 has a better destruction system than bf2042 Which is a key part of the battlefield series

[eager spire]

okay but still the maps were mid.

[fervent rose]

like 2042's launch ones were worse but bf4 felt like downgrades in map fun vs bf3

and bf1 for example is WAY better than bf4 map design

[low timber]

BF3’s Aftermath was great

[eager spire]

just because you can destroy more of them doesn't make the maps better.

[pine roost]

spearhead is the only map

[eager spire]

BF3 had the Close Quarters DLC.

Which had the best infantry maps in the franchise.

[slow tulip]

Bf5 had wake island

[eager spire]

who cares about wake island

[fervent rose]

they need to revert the exposure layout for breakthrough

[winter swan]

Metro and locker are the best infantry only maps ever made

[eager spire]

no.

[slow tulip]

Battlefield 2's Persian gulf was pretty good

[eager spire]

Those walked so the BF3 Close Quarters DLC could run.

They're just better.

[shell ermine]

Operation Mortar was a fun map, but because it was a stealth remake of the original Iwo Jima

[slow tulip]

Bf hardline was a let down

[eager spire]

Hardline was good, what do you mean.

[slow tulip]

Battlefield bad company 2 Vietnam was pretty good

[slow tulip]

Release timing was bad

[eager spire]

It was still good.

[slow tulip]

They could've released it as a bf4 dlc

[eager spire]

No they couldn't have.

[naive magnet]

Which battlefield had that map that was flooded and most of the fighting was on the rooftops?

There were boats

[eager spire]

It's a different game.

[pine roost]

flood zone

[eager spire]

BF4 Flood Zone.

[winter swan]

One map they should definitely bring back for rush in this game is Devavand peak

[acoustic seal]

flood zone was fucking terrible

[naive magnet]

Oh yeah that was a fun one

I loved it

[fervent rose]

see i hate flood zone

[eager spire]

Flood Zone is mid.

I don't like boats.

[fervent rose]

fuck swimming around

[upbeat sand]

Flood zone which one is that again

[naive magnet]

Agreed swimming sucked, but they had that nice sniping opportunity literally anywhere

[upbeat sand]

The one with the da, breaking with the petrol station

[pine roost]

if it had no flooding event with more hard cover on the rooftops I'd probably enjoy it more. It seems like you can just shoot through and destroy everything up there

[naive magnet]

Get you a helicopter, post up on a random rooftop, then just never die. Haha nostalgia

[eager spire]

like, Metro and Locker were the best infantry maps in BF4, by virtue of being the only infantry maps in BF4. It had nothing to do with their actual quality, they're overrated as hell and are meatgrinders.

Meatrgrinders are literally the worst form of map design.

[fervent rose]

theres just too much rooftop access in the map design which lead to slow and annoying gameplay in bf4

[pearl ridge]

How did they make it so a solid two thirds of 4’s launch maps sucked

[eager spire]

Also, the DLC where they released BF3 remake maps was stupid.

[jovial whale]

bro i dont see shit on low settings

[eager spire]

Fucking Operation Firestorm and Caspian Border? With Metro?

[pearl ridge]

Meanwhile 1 knocked it out of the park aside from Suez, which needed reworking to be tolerable

[eager spire]

BF3 had better maps.

[naive magnet]

The metro stalemates at the escalators were pretty fun, if you broke through you could get like 15 people on a flank haha

[eager spire]

i'm sorry but meatgrinders are just terrible and not fun to play.

[pine roost]

it was fun on locker making a bhop through that small tunnel and trying to 180 the people who were prone

[pearl ridge]

Remember when Suez only had three points

[fervent rose]

64 player metro was dumb

[acoustic seal]

sinai has the same problem every 2042 map has where you need to cut out 75% of the playable area before it's good

[fervent rose]

but with less players its a cool map

[naive magnet]

What are other meat grinder maps?

[ember charm]

Dumb but fun

[naive magnet]

Is that snow one on a mountain with the base in the middle also a meat grinder?

[pearl ridge]

As far as meatgrinders go though, Suez is okay, because there’s still room to get around

[naive magnet]

Im horrible with names of maps, but that one was a lot of fun too

[eager spire]

Metro and Locker.

[fervent rose]

you can do meatgrinder levels correctly. bfv grind had a few really fun maps

[pearl ridge]

And the big dune in the middle is a solid frontline

[fervent rose]

underground was awful in grind tho, with the less routes

[naive magnet]

I don’t remember locker

Oh wait I do

Just googled it

[acoustic seal]

oh man the dice obsession with huge empty fields really started with bf1 didn't it

[naive magnet]

That one tank map in BF4

[eager spire]

Meatgrinders just suck ass to play unless you get lucky. They're not good.

[pearl ridge]

Galicia was the worst of it

[pine roost]

there's a reason it's got 'field' in the title

[pearl ridge]

No cover anywhere

[naive magnet]

Run around aimlessly unless you had a tank or vehicle haha

[fervent rose]

@acoustic seal may i introduce you to caspian border

[eager spire]

Caspian Border can go fuck itself.

[pearl ridge]

St Quentin is my ideal battlefield map

[eager spire]

Why it got remade in BF4 i'll never understand.

[fervent rose]

"omg the trailer map"

[acoustic seal]

literally why people pick sinai to this day

[naive magnet]

Argonne forest was a ton of fun

I miss those jungle maps

[eager spire]

Argonne is fine.

[fervent rose]

argonne is great

[eager spire]

BF1 had some fine maps. Most of the Domination layouts i played on that game were good.

[pearl ridge]

I feel like even St Quentin would suck in 2042 though, because there’s no way its balance would survive this game’s philosophy

[pine roost]

I don't tend to like maps that have dense foliage due to visibility issues, but argonne struck the perfect balance for me

got some of my best streaks on that one

[fervent rose]

pacific storm flashbacks

[eager spire]

it's just a shame that BF1 is not a great game.

Looks great, but doesn't play well.

[fervent rose]

i wish you could play bfv in bf1 maps

[pearl ridge]

1 is my absolute favourite and it’s not even close

[shell ermine]

Thats an understatement

[modern sentinel]

Without saying my idea too much whilst waiting for a dev to notice my question, why is there no robot soldier in bf2042

[naive magnet]

I didn’t mind it all that much. Cavalry and the super vehicles or whatever they’re called were kinda lame.

[pearl ridge]

Aside from shitters with heavy bombers and SMG 08s of course

[eager spire]

i am trying to be nice cause i do like some maps on it.

[pine roost]

titanfall spectre when?

[naive magnet]

There is a robot soldier

[shell ermine]

I have no such compunction

[naive magnet]

The Ranger

[modern sentinel]

not robodog haha

[radiant prism]

Ranger my beloved

[shell ermine]

BF1 was the worst Battlefield game until 2042 launched

[pearl ridge]

We have an entire collection category for drones and the stupid ranger is still the only thing in it. Can’t even be customised

[acoustic seal]

ranger health pool should've been reduced to nothing back when they nerfed boris turret the first time

[naive magnet]

Grenade dropping drones when?

[pearl ridge]

I usually forget it’s even a thing

[modern sentinel]

why can’t a dev be here 🤣 since I thought of the idea there’s a massive gap in conquest rounds that I can’t undo seeing 😢

[fervent rose]

@naive magnet we dont need that on top of the infinite tv missiles lol

[radiant prism]

Devs don’t really chat here

Besides Alex

Who is a weapon designer

[naive magnet]

That would be a fun little functionality add to the drone specialist

[modern sentinel]

Alex where art though 😢

[spiral folio]

Though

[naive magnet]

It would be abused quickly though so maybe not haha

[acoustic seal]

i never understood the love some people have for achi baba, half the map is endless choke points and the other half is sniper hell

[fervent rose]

only if it had some really long cooldown and you could still swat it away @naive magnet

[radiant prism]

Drones are hard enough to notice for people sometimes, giving it the ability to drop grenades would just be annoying

[naive magnet]

I can just envision them being in every elevator

[spiral folio]

Cargo drones are huge

[fervent rose]

casper doesnt need a buff though, he can spot the whole team on some sectors

[spiral folio]

Consider that a drone weighs less than a pound and you want to carry like 2 pounds of weight plus the mechanisms to hold and arm it

Yea all recon specs meed a buff. They wont cause theyre recons

[radiant prism]

As someone who flies those kinda drones, you don’t add any weight to those lol

[naive magnet]

Last night I saw the craziest thing; and I wonder how it happened, on exposure, this guy drove off the mountain by F going down to E in a TOR and didn’t blow up, I didn’t think that was possible

[spiral folio]

Is it immediately after a battle ends or does it go to the main menu first

Bet it's the old matchmaking failed bug in a different form

[radiant prism]

That’s weird though because matchmaking failed was super easy to fix

[spiral folio]

Does pressing esc or enter get rid of it

Yea my thought is like for whatever reason the error message isnt coming up

So instead of an error he gets a blank screen

[next onyx]

SVD and type 88 dug up.

That'll be interesting.

[spiral folio]

Id rather have a flak88

Next time it happens see if pressing enter/esc works. If you make a bug report on the forums be detailed on what happens

[wide shore]

The more portal guns that get dug up the more I wonder where my AN is

[pine roost]

it'll come soon enough

oh yeah I had a rock in breakway break away from the terrain and end up hovering in the air

never seen anything like it

and frankly it's hilarious to witness

[wide shore]

[low timber]

June boom

[pine roost]

no don't make the memories come back

june is my birthday month too

[shell ermine]

Hope they fix the drum mags today

[calm bison]

Nope

[arctic grove]

What's wrong with the drum mags?

[calm bison]

Slow ADS speed

[arctic grove]

Oof

[next onyx]

No fix today but next update definitely.

[shell ermine]

I'm hoping they can push something server-side, wouldn't be the first time they've had to hotfix a patch server-side

[spiral folio]

Hotfixes usually dont happen to balance issues

[pine roost]

they can take out stuff and stop people using things but I don't think they've ever changed values without an update

[wide shore]

Yeah they’ve only hotfixed to remove stuff

[grizzled whale]

they should hotfix to remove classes

[spiral folio]

That'd be like "reloading this crashes the game entirely" type stuff

[pine roost]

Direct Communication new tweet - 'Temporarily disabled the ability to ADS while we fix an issue'

[shy latch]

I think ads time is only on client side

[acoustic island]

I kind of hope they keep the ads time decrease from increase in mag size, but decrease the intensity

[low timber]

BFBulleting’a tweet said more portal maps soon™️ 👀

[spiral folio]

A lot of players wont notice

[pine roost]

I will since I never use hipfire

although I should, it's just a bad habit

[wide shore]

It just slows the animation but doesn’t stop the aim improvements of ADSing

[weary slate]

how in portal i can unlock 20MM gun for helicopter bird?

[wide shore]

So even if you’re not even fully aiming down your sight, you still get the benefit of tighter spread because the game thinks you’re ADSing but the animation is just slow now.

They didn’t change the spread to change at the same speed as the animation. They just slowed the animation down.

[shy latch]

yeah but I guess it has nothing to do with the server, maybe just the animation from the 3rd person view but nothing else

[wide shore]

Which really is the most DICE fix of all time.

[pine roost]

honestly it is

[naive magnet]

Do you guys prefer the Bolte to the MAV in any specific scenarios?

I feel like I’ll always pick the MAV for more spaces and overall damage

[weary slate]

how in portal i can unlock 20MM gun for helicopter bird?

[pine roost]

I don't use them often but I guess bolte for speed and mav for tanking

[pine roost]

anything that grants full exp would probably work. But you can also play the solo / coop mode and it'll work

[weary slate]

HOW. I PLAY solo portal rush and it doesnt count anything for helicopter, should i try use that on conquest?

[spiral folio]

The bigger guns on the mini arent great

You sacrifice infantry damage for almost any vehicle damage

It'll work on bots barely

[shy latch]

not solo in Portal but the solo under AOW Conquest and Breaktrough

[pine roost]

if you want to get it quickly I think you can now make a portal server with no vehicle spawn cooldowns and it now grants full exp

[shell ermine]

Well that's the weird thing about it, it's strictly the animation they changed. You can bypass the animation by double tapping aim and if you start firing immediately it still has the full ADS accuracy even before your gun is fully up visually

[weary slate]

can you teach me how please?

[shy latch]

double tapping the aim button? really?

[spiral folio]

You can get minibird unlocks on solo

[weary slate]

i want minibird 20Mm gun unlock solo in portal or other. not play against real peoples

[shy latch]

it' on the main menù, just avoid the portal section

[shell ermine]

Yeah its complete nonsense

[spiral folio]

Whats the reqs for the 20mm unlock even though its worse than the miniguns

[sharp marten]

SQUAD MANAGEMENT BABY

[pine roost]

On the main menu, go conquest -> solo / coop conquest

[weary slate]

ok thanks.

[pine roost]

idek since I've never touched the 20s

so glad they buffed the miniguns

[spiral folio]

If its kills
Solo breakthrough

[pine roost]

doesn't have helis

[spiral folio]

The 20s are really kinda bad

Oh yes

[fervent rose]

yea you can only do hind/condor

[spiral folio]

They ruined that

Conquest solo i guess

Not as fast but works

You could probably do solo spearhead conq

That'll bunch up the targets better

[pine roost]

it's basically all I played while waiting for game updates to roll out

training up that aim so that once /\ is fixed I'll be able to go to town

[arctic grove]

The podcast has some juicy interesting news

[spiral folio]

I dont have an ipod so oh well

[arctic grove]

Squad management plans to be brought back, the narrative continues in season 5, season 4 will bring back older features, more portal maps possibly?

[pine roost]

it's a shame you can't listen to it on any devices other than an ipod

[spiral folio]

Yea too bad

Any new talkies out?

[pine roost]

did they treat squad management as one of these 'legacy features' that they didn't think we needed or something that they just couldn't implement

[arctic grove]

They weren’t lying when they said the game is where they wanted it to be at now (not that I think they were but)

[arctic grove]

Probably

2042 indeed downgraded largely when it came out, but we’ll see how they do reimplementing some goodies

[willow sky]

bolte's playstyle is pretty aggro and it works a lot in certain areas on maps

[arctic grove]

If they’re gonna add old features back, for the love of god may we also get a massive animations rework

[willow sky]

but i love the MAV too

[pine roost]

I treated squad management as something pretty fundemental. It's a pain to organise friend groups without it for one thing

[arctic grove]

I miss 1/V’s first person animations

[spiral folio]

The jawa crawler is the ugliest vehicle by far

Possibly strong contender for ugliest battlefield vehicle

[willow sky]

you're pretty much forced to make friends outside of the game just to make a good squad most of the time

[arctic grove]

I can definitely see the squad management being missing do that. I’d hope they’d also introduce the squad leader call ins as well, so you and your friends can actually make something out of squad play

[pine roost]

I never had one of those moments where I made friends through squads in game, but if I want a friend to join me its simply a painstaking process

[spiral folio]

"Ok jim youve been stalling and goofing off all week whats your concept for a transport vehicle."
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... uhhh... " -slaps googly eyes on a tissue box-

"Youre kidding.. are you an idiot or is this a joke"
-takes off eyes-
"Its perfect"

[arctic grove]

Hell I friended a guy through it

I was just giving some call outs and we both agreed on how horrendous pre rework renewal was, frustrated with how much we died

[willow sky]

most of my friends are from this discord on the squad vc's

its where you can actually enjoy playing the game

[pine roost]

it is a great feeling when you get someone in your squad who is competent

[arctic grove]

Wonder what other features s4 might bring along

I mean I’d assume clans and stuff

[radiant prism]

you ever get that one squadmate that you just connect with on a spiritual level

like your chakras just align

[spiral folio]

Sniper laser

[arctic grove]

Yes

[spiral folio]

And antitank laser blade

[pine roost]

what I was just on about. Best example was in a bfv tdm where we both just ran around constantly supplying and going on absolute streaks

[spiral folio]

It has the opposite of the rail where after you fire it has a cooldown

[arctic grove]

Good news morning it seems

Mark rubin making some sort of hopefully banger fps game

2042 actually getting jts long deserved polish later on

[shrewd summit]

We need more environment destruction. That and Cow Bells.

[arctic grove]

what is cow bells

[spiral folio]

A bell for cows

[pine roost]

bells on a cow obviously

[arctic grove]

Add cow launcher to the game dice

[pine roost]

shoot them into the tornado. Recreate that one Yoglabs episode

[serene flame]

Yo

[fervent rose]

imagine not adding flying cows

smh

[naive magnet]

What are some complete troll builds that aren’t really meta but are tons of fun?

The throwing knife?

[willow sky]

that satisfying feeling when you get a squad where its divided by all 4 classes

[pine roost]

crossbow I guess

[arctic grove]

what is the best portal gun in 2042 now?

[fervent rose]

throwing knife is very good

not "troll"

[naive magnet]

It’s a one shot?

No matter where?

[spiral folio]

Its unnaturally good yes

[willow sky]

lots of people say P90

[fervent rose]

you can run around like a maniac while its out too

[serene flame]

Why cant i find a match in 128 player mode

[naive magnet]

Crossplay?

[serene flame]

There were 20 players already now it fall back to only 11

[spiral folio]

It falls under the balancing idea
"If it is difficult it should do more damage"

[arctic grove]

Crossplay on, region and time (this one is unfortunate), gamemode

[willow sky]

is the g57 intended to do a shit ton of damage?

[serene flame]

Isnt it a lot easier for people on pc playing with keyboard tho

And crossplay is turned off and im playing on ps5

[arctic grove]

Aiming and stuff ye

Turn it on man

[fervent rose]

2042 doesnt really have troll guns. but theres some stupid things you can do like repair tool people or defib people

[arctic grove]

You won’t find games without it

[spiral folio]

Like a railgun projectile hitting somebody at mach6
Naaah too easy 2 hit kill

A tiny knife hitting somebody at "thrown speed" 1 hit kill

[pine roost]

if you want players you have to turn it on

[arctic grove]

Did the throwing knives ever get nerfed btw

[spiral folio]

Doubt they ever will

[arctic grove]

I heard in V those had like a 10 meter 1 “shot” kill damage

[fervent rose]

they got taken away from medic class

[serene flame]

Already turned it on

[willow sky]

it doesn't one shot at certain range i believe

[fervent rose]

no more falck throwing knife build

[pine roost]

most likely region then. Unfortunately there are situations where it's simply not possible to find a match since you can't manually select the region

[willow sky]

mfw support players not running smoke grenades

[spiral folio]

Throwing knives in a fps are a very "i bought an unsharpened butterfly knife to do tricks with" weapon

[serene flame]

Already found a match thx

Also

I love hacking with zao its so good

[arctic grove]

hacking?

[serene flame]

And im good with snipers

[arctic grove]

Oh wait. I read that as zain for some damn reason

[pine roost]

strange, I read it as Irish

[willow sky]

hacking with zain and irish 😳

[arctic grove]

I saw Z and my brain immediately did it for me

[serene flame]

Yea rao

[spiral folio]

Rao the indian guy named after the pasta sauce

[serene flame]

Cyberware suite i believe

The visor i dont get

But fr no wonder hes good with tech

[pine roost]

you get hit, you see people through walls

[serene flame]

Ohh

[pine roost]

lemme see if I can recover my clip showing it off

[serene flame]

And also better vision during storms i guess

Also the spot robot dog is kinda great and unique

[spiral folio]

In 2042 indias tech support is militarized. Since they have all of everyones tech information they can hack into systems easily and still keep you on hold while "looking up your account information"

[serene flame]

Didnt want to buy bf2042 cuz kinda everyone said its baid

[pine roost]

yeah here it is

[serene flame]

But i said woah many times

Its overpowered

But dont tell ea

[pine roost]

They probably won't remove it despite moments like that happening often

[willow sky]

sometimes i rage whenever i get killed through smoke like "how??" and realize i accidently shot some Rao

[pine roost]

gotta love it

[willow sky]

the absolute anti-smokers

[spiral folio]

Review bombing is just how life is now

[willow sky]

rao and paik

[serene flame]

Btw its kinda weird how i havent encountered those ray gun tanks so far

[spiral folio]

Large devs will get trolled the most

[pine roost]

probably because they are currently 3 entire maps away lining up a shot on your forehead

[serene flame]

Nah

Also is the sneaky character good i mean the one who was in bf2 i believe

[willow sky]

I've seen them play but they camp across the map

[serene flame]

The bush guy

Chewbacca type character

[willow sky]

casper? yeah he's okay

[pine roost]

ghillie suit guy

[serene flame]

Casper

The ghost

[willow sky]

the spooky

[arctic grove]

Casper in BC2?

[spiral folio]

The ghillie suit guy with a walmart drone with horrible range

[pine roost]

he's good to gather info before a peek, people just use his drone to farm spotting exp which is boring in my opinion

[willow sky]

lmao an incredible return!

[prime ember]

why does my game acts like i have aimbot , it simply turns instantly to any degree to any point on the map , any idea ?

[pine roost]

🤨

[arctic grove]

Riiiiiiight

[solid imp]

In fairness the drone that has sophisticated enemy detection technology built into the camera 🙂

[spiral folio]

Yeeeea cause nobody could program "object recognition" into a camera

[solid imp]

and a solar rechargeable tank zapper

[spiral folio]

Oh wait. Exists today

[prime ember]

bro i am not jocking i can send you a video

[arctic grove]

It’s fine man I’m just fucking around

I mean I guess I am curious…

[prime ember]

the game simply points at random points on the screen

[pine roost]

mouse input can be rough sometimes, send it my way too

[willow sky]

The fact that it acts as a 2nd camera (an entire POV of the map) to find where enemies are approaching, i've used it to prefire enemies sprinting and it works like a charm

[pine roost]

I had kind of the opposite issue back when I got my new mouse

[spiral folio]

Too bad lis rockets cant spot

HOWEVER if you go into a captured enemy sector it counts as you being out of bounds

[prime ember]

the controller doesnt have any drift or something , even it it is a ps5 one

[serene flame]

https://youtu.be/iBSyD0WPkXM

[willow sky]

"Oh he's coming from over here, lemme just surprise em"

[serene flame]

This guy legit

I was right about 2

Btw whos playing now

[prime ember]

i am enetring a game to record 2 sec

also i turned of my mouse , it still does it

[pine roost]

didn't realise you were on controller

[prime ember]

yeah but the controller doesnt have any drifts or smth

[lusty temple]

I like how the update is out but no big YouTuber showcased any EOD bot gadget uses

[prime ember]

did you saw the video ?

[pine roost]

oh my goodness

that's mad

never seen that before

yeah I've got no idea why this would be happening. It isn't a sensitivity thing as you can see you turning at max speed and it does a complete 360 at one point

[sharp marten]

Can you make one?

[spiral folio]

I can buy one at walmart

This isn't the startrek universe where AI doesnt exist

Phones have it

As of like 5 years or more ago

[solid imp]

but this is hardened military tech which can't be hacked on the.... looks at Rao

[spiral folio]

Can rao hax a drone?

[solid imp]

oh yea

freeze it in place and easy pickings

[spiral folio]

I never really tried

[solid imp]

it can't move

casper just stares at his laptop screen for a few seconds

[spiral folio]

Didyoutryturningitoffandonagain

[solid imp]

there's casper taking the battery out of his laptop and waiting 30 seconds

"tactical battery reload"

[spiral folio]

-press r-
[Battery drops]
-has another in his hand and slams it in-

[solid imp]

find that easter egg reload where he's tossing the battery and catching it perfectly in the laptop

[spiral folio]

Places the old battery in a secure container for later recycling to keep his carbon footprint for the battle lower

[pine roost]

has a magazine but it's batteries instead of bullets

[solid imp]

as the debris and unburned petrol from the blown up hind whizzes by his head

[solid imp]

Hazard Zone: Reloaded -- Find and recycle all the spent casper batteries before the other team can transport them to the landfill nearby

[spiral folio]

"Alright nopats... US has evidence Russian operations are mixing their recycling. Get in there and secure the area"

[prime ember]

i found the issue bro , i turned off the touchpad from ds4 windows and it does not do it anymore

but strange how this didnt happen before

[pine roost]

unusual but at least it's fixed

[prime ember]

i am gonna still test for a bit but i think is fixed

[lavish hawk]

Great news on Squad Management coming back finally is there a time line on when we can expect this feature to be added?

[hexed mango]

seeing as i might have free time today, im gonna take notes during the podcast

mainly cause i’m bored

[lavish hawk]

Oh I might do the same ha

[hexed mango]

lol

i mean obviously the outline is already covered, but just noting down anything else they said would be cool

[weary slate]

@pine roost thx i finally unlocked whole equipments for tanks etc

once all is unlokced i will can use that in portal also?

[spiral folio]

Anime called shangrila is about an environmentalist dystopia where there are carbon police

[dapper night]

Heard from the recent podcast that Squad Management is coming, let’s goooooooo

[spiral folio]

Is there squad avoidance?

[pearl ridge]

Turns out that Stingers can lock onto designated ground vehicles.

[dapper night]

I hope they’ll add BFV’s Squad Reward

[pearl ridge]

Doesn't do that much to them but it's helpful in a pinch

[dapper night]

Yea in squad management you unless you’re joking

[spiral folio]

I mean like not being on a squad so i can not have people spawn on me when im trying to be secretive

"OH HEY WHACHA DOIN HERE? SNIPING! COOL IM GONNA PARACHUTE FROM HERE WHILE SHOOTING NOW"
Thanks ass.
-moves because the spot is ruined now-

[arctic grove]

Good news

The BF podcast confirmed squad management down the road for 2042

Hopefully it also adds call ins and stuff

[naive magnet]

What do you mean by call ins?

[hexed mango]

sounds like a skill issue

[fiery shoal]

opinions on class update? ive not been able to play =[

[arctic grove]

I forgot their name in V, but the mortar strike n stuff

I think reinforcements?

[hexed mango]

like the squad lead can call in things like smoke barrages, vehicles etc

[naive magnet]

Oh; yeah those were cool

[arctic grove]

Ye, an air strike was datamined which could act as the mortar strike equivalent

If it’s added to the game

[hexed mango]

perhaps

could also be the SU70’s ability

[arctic grove]

True

[spiral folio]

I dont need much ammo with the railgun but it's still worse for me. Dunno about if its changed balance or anything

[eager spire]

Mixed bag from what I’ve been able to tell.

[spiral folio]

Still playable just worse

[naive magnet]

Really balanced the game, makes it feel a lot more like a battlefield game, but certain equipment is ‘specialist-paywalled’ the EOD bot is completely broken, and the Javelin has balanced armor dominance a bit

[spiral folio]

A lot of my builds are useless ie the crossbow is virtually useless now cause of its nonexistent ammo levels

[naive magnet]

I play medic, so I don’t really struggle with ammo ever

[spiral folio]

10 whole exploders then youre stuck with the regular ones

And the mag-bolt thing is garbage

[naive magnet]

Medic has the easiest path to free points between revives and the ammo box

[arctic grove]

I’m glad the classes are back tbh, will definitely start feeling more familiar to others down the road. To be fair, it was about a year till it was added so I get the discomfort with it

But it’s definitely a better system imo

[spiral folio]

Yea then get chewed out by mouthbreathers when they die in the open and want me to suicide rush to revive them

[naive magnet]

I liked previously being able to pick a medic, and anti-tank, and/or set up tac inserts

But you can’t have it all haha

[wide shore]

I’m fine with classes being back. But as I said before they were added, it’s not gonna drastically increase teamplay like people thought.

[naive magnet]

Most medics are still brain dead

[wide shore]

I enjoy this update simply because there’s more tools and breakaway is actually playable.

[naive magnet]

Typical BF idk what you mean 😂

[spiral folio]

Never would. People dont just do things because you make their lives harder. They do it for incentive

If they offered like speeecial weapon skins and outfits for good squad play maybe itd encourage it. Give more actions points on the scoreboard

[wide shore]

Maybe if revives were 100 points again instead of 25.

[naive magnet]

Got my first T1 gun a few minutes ago, debating finishing my next closest, but I probably won’t, I think multiple T1 weapon badges look strange haha

[spiral folio]

Xp doesnt matter

[wide shore]

I disagree. Otherwise, it wouldn’t exist.

[spiral folio]

Shallow assholes will look at the scoreboard before how much xp they get

[wide shore]

And XP puts you at the top. Not kills

[arctic grove]

Revives being 25 is crazy

[spiral folio]

Xp doesnt dooooo anything past lvl60

Beyond "the worst slowest battlepass progression" xp is worthless

[naive magnet]

Agreed I’m usually top 3 between all the assists, kills, and captures

Rarely do I have the most kills

[wide shore]

Had two dudes playing Casper top of the board after a whole round of rush XL. No kills/deaths. Just assists.

[arctic grove]

Oh yeah I’ve seen that too

[spiral folio]

So going like "get 1000xp for 1 level"
And compare that to
"Ride in a vehicle for 2km for 4 levels"

Xp is basically worthless

[naive magnet]

Talk about friendly ghosts

[wide shore]

XP is a light push towards doing stuff

Reward players with more XP for doing team oriented stuff, and people will do it.

[spiral folio]

Almost not noticeable at all

[wide shore]

Before t this game revives got you the same amount of points as a kill. As it should be.

[spiral folio]

Points on a scoreboard barely get peolle to revive as it is

[wide shore]

Because you get 25 points

[naive magnet]

Cosmetics unfortunately are the main drivers with most games, but I don’t want this to be CoD

[wide shore]

It takes 4 revives to even get the same amount of points as a kill. And yet reviving is much more valuable.

[spiral folio]

Not xp
Score

[fiery shoal]

of course not, but at least now its "not dices fault"

[naive magnet]

I revive because it helps capture points, not because of the xp

[spiral folio]

Score is 2 points per rev and that gives placement. Placement which shallow/stupid people value. Thats how you get average-joe to do the needful

[old dirge]

With the new update for console players! Has anyone found a good replacement for switching attachments? Buttons don't seem to work well cause it switches the scope or forces me to reload every time I hold a button.

[wide shore]

Sure. But that’s not everybody. You have to trick the average player into playing as a team by pretending they’re being selfish.

[spiral folio]

Exactly

[sour steeple]

you dont win a fight without killing. yet for most ppl killing is more difficult than reviving.

[wide shore]

You can win a game of conquest without killing

Reviving is more important than killing.

[sour steeple]

ye bcuz other ppl do it for you

[spiral folio]

"Clean your room it smells"
No

"Clean your room and we'll get pizza tonight"
(I dont wanna cook anyway)

[naive magnet]

I don’t use d-pad, you may find more luck with using left joystick to navigate menus, otherwise take a look at your controller binds and see if there’s a way to make it easier

[sour steeple]

not in a fps game like battlefield. in squad yes.

[wide shore]

Compared to ticket bleed kills are negligible.

[eager spire]

you can win a game of conquest without killing
I’d like to see you try.

[wide shore]

I’m not saying it would be easy. But it would be possible.

[eager spire]

I’d like to see you try.

[sour steeple]

you cant take flaggs when u keep dying on cap

[wide shore]

You can’t kill everybody if they keep being revived.

[spiral folio]

Block roads with vehicles and mines. The thrilling new BF mode "tense standoff"

[sour steeple]

unless enemy team is as bad as u at killing. then its a brainless flag run

[modern sentinel]

How are images added into the chat ?

[spiral folio]

Marvel as you patrol an area routinely

[wide shore]

Gotta have regular/boost rank

[lusty temple]

Technically using an EOD Bot wouldn't be considered as your character killing them

[spiral folio]

In tense standoff mode vehicles move quarter speed

[wide shore]

This is more theoretical than practical.

[eager spire]

Then why mention it at all.

[modern sentinel]

I have such a wild idea for battlefield 2042 I can’t share any info as the devs are uncontactable and I can’t even share images 🤣

[eager spire]

Why bring it up if it’s not practical.

[wide shore]

Because killing is arguably less important in a round of conquest than staying alive and capturing flags.

[modern sentinel]

it would enhance conquest mode

[eager spire]

Killing is very important because how else are you gonna cap flags.

[naive magnet]

Because it highlights that points are earned outside of kills

[wide shore]

There’s a reason why some maps get criticized for promoting zerging.

[naive magnet]

There are multiple dimensions to play this game

[wide shore]

You can easily circle behind the enemy and capture a flag without ever seeing an enemy.

Especially in 2042

[naive magnet]

You can be a killer that’s fine, but there’s benefit to being a spotter, or trying to play to your squad or teams strength

[eager spire]

Maybe if the enemy is blind or stupid.

[wide shore]

You make it seem like Battlefield players on average have a high IQ

Blind and stupid is what BF players do best

[eager spire]

You make it seem like everyone on this game is fucking brain dead.

[wide shore]

Have you never captured a flag with no resistance? I’d be very surprised

[modern sentinel]

Would this idea work to improve conquest ? If anyone wants to say yay or shoot it down

[ocean jolt]

And this is why I only play breakthrough

[scarlet magnet]

ok the avances or whaterver the lmg is called

is busted af

[naive magnet]

Rare but it happens

[eager spire]

As if someone being on a flag isn’t the most obvious shit ever especially if you’re on the same flag, because there is a handy little counter at the top of the screen that says “hey there is this many enemies on the flag”

[naive magnet]

Maybe once every 15 games or so

Maybe less honestly

[eager spire]

Only at the start of a round, going from spawn over to the middle of the map.

[modern sentinel]

First check out the amak armoured robot soldier

https://twitter.com/crusaderarts/status/1038892472867463169?s=46&t=m8rneiCV2p_fOx5SvopgEg

[wide shore]

I’ve done it more times than I can count. Even just in 2042.

[modern sentinel]

It’s literally made for battlefield 2042

[naive magnet]

Nah, if a team is heavily contesting C for example; and their E or A is open to a flank you can get a free solo cap

[eager spire]

Solo cap? In conquest? Nah. Cap speed is too slow.

[modern sentinel]

Conquest mode , two of these are dropped in to the loosing team and help equalise the game

[naive magnet]

Again it happens - it’s rare

Kill the two guys that inevitably try and back spawn and kill you

Uncontested, very very rare

[next onyx]

It's a Falck!

[modern sentinel]

Player controlled and have a heat vision style and move quickly , charge distance to run 1.5 lengths of the map and then explode

[eager spire]

Yeah but the point is that you can’t just win a conquest game without killing people. Killing people is a fundamental aspect of the gameplay.

[sharp marten]

[naive magnet]

I’d argue you can’t win without caps

[next onyx]

Maybe so but you can support your teammates to the best of your abilities by giving health, ammo and other things.

[modern sentinel]

currently when conquest points are too far behind it’s already game over there’s no equaliser for the loosing team

😦

[next onyx]

Teammates that come in with you to cap are more bodies for it.

[naive magnet]

Sector advantage does far more damage than kills

[wide shore]

That’s the point of my argument

[eager spire]

Obviously, but you get caps by killing enemies on flags. You can’t just wander into flags and get free caps all the time.

[next onyx]

With sectors like in valparaiso the better killers will eventually come out on top.

[modern sentinel]

Amak armoured robot with high armour % would take out a few enemy points

[naive magnet]

I don’t understand the premise of this argument anymore

Can you win without caps no

Can you cap without kills no

So what are we arguing about

[eager spire]

Poetic was claiming that you can win a game without killing people. I think that’s not true.

[wide shore]

The whole point of my argument was that reviving should get you the same amount of points as a kill. As they’re arguably at least just as important.

I say that to indicate that killing does not even slightly affect a game of conquest as much as bleed

Hyperbole maybe. But that’s my point

[naive magnet]

Largely agree with both sides, but, I’d bet it’s winnable without kills, albeit difficult, spotting with Casper is the best example so far, but I agree medics should get more points for revives

[eager spire]

I firmly disagree.
