xbox never had 8k running games
fucking hell
get polished, dummy
go to portal > browse and find an air superiority server
why do you keep doing that
cuz fuck me
enjoy
you'll have to sieve through all the shitty bot farming servers though
I dont fucking know why the default language is set to polish and is locked to russian/polish
president, we have his location
change it in the settings
you cant
what
times like these are where we learn to not just rush through the installation process
So whats yall fav character in BF2042?
my ea games installed in english
ranger
you mean specialist?
Cuz ur from England probably
Yea
if you asked the entire server then it would prob be mackay
you on pc?
falck
Looks like I gotta install an english pack manually and replace the p🤢lish language
irish as well
you on pc right?
Yes
sounds fine just do it
you are simply to young to remember then
do an english pack manual installation then
Thats why there are no medics
not really
On it
there is always atleast 2 falcks in a bf2042 game
I wanna falck falck
and assault class can also revive but slower
i don’t get why that delay exists
ea games late ps2 and xbox where only translated to scandinavian and english was actually missing,
I played Casper but i might swap to someone else but idk who
everyone can squad revive, they made it slower to incentivize using defibs
just put the fucking med pen in their body to revive them. don’t wait 3 seconds to get stable
so enjoy playing burnout revenge and other great titles
ik but it’s annoying since i always die when reviving
gotta clear out the baddie that killed who you're reviving yo
in the 360 generation, change where localized after the systems location,
now imagine your matchmaking location also changed depending on this setting
well kill the guy who killed your boy first
so you wanted to play with some in your area, enjoy the translation
if you wanted to play in english, well enjoy having the game search for games around england
and changed the animation to using a med pen instead of a defibrillator
the problem is, when i go to revive. there is no one there
so you see a squad revive icon
that's been bugging me since launch
thats definitely a your bf2042 problem
dont just blind revive lol
mine doesnt do that
medics can get away with that with the defibs
true
but i like grappling
when you squad revive as a non medic class
oh
yea its from the class patch
med pen replaced squad revive defibs
in the animations
grappling to get the campers on kaleidoscope in TDM
makes more sense
but you have infinite med pens you dont use now 💀
thats what is annoying me
the squad revive in portal was always med pen, the aow ones just got replaced with what was in portal
not worth the investment imo. this current one i have is doing fine for now
Okay so doing a manual language install just caused the game to go into an infinite loading screen upon launching it
Reinstalling now 
I might give Angel a try
Angel with medkit is a walking support unit.
then no reason to replace
Suddenly I'm dying to the 50mm cannon on transports again
@copper fulcrum can you do me a favor and take a screenshot of this skin on xbox? in the class customization screen

we where a bit curious earlier, but no console players where online 😄
Why on Xbox?
Are DICE planning to add new maps for Portal?
Like, maybe after the S4 map and the reworks, they could focus on maps for Portal.
to make a comparison
disable xbox overlay on pc for best gameplay
holy cow does my game actually work now
Feels like they started doing more damage too. Vehicles usually died to 7 or 8 shots
windows 10 works best if you turn everything new off, oddly enough
Someone callin me..? 
Yo can you or can you not ride casper's drone?
Nope. It was patched
how long was it patched
Not long ago enough
2-3 months for sure
we just wanted to see how it looked there since anything less than ultra completely changes his beard
Just hopped back on 2042 see a lot of bf3 weapons are they planning on adding customization options for those weapons or no?
I mean, I really wouldn't be mad if they included a jetpack for infantry in this game but as it is fuck that guy
Better yet, a jetpack field pickup
I’m surprised we don’t have field weapon pickups like a mini gun grenade launcher etc I hope they bring in call in support like bf5 had
There is call in support, but it's just the vehicle screen
They really ought to add more things to that tablet
Like if you own certain objectives, you are able to call in different things
Battlefront 2's Boba Fett intensifies
bf1942 jet pack 
flying sniper ples
I loved my flying snipers in Xcom
send em up, put em on overwatch, the mechs run and flush things out
Huh 👀
Are they planing to make tdm a normal mode? Not time limited?
guys I need to do multikills for the battlepass, what is the best gamemode to complete that?
Does bots count for battlepass?
If does go breakthrough
Breakthrough
Its easy farm
alr thanks
@craggy jackal dude, I just saw the video you posted on #streams-and-videos and I have to say that you just said a lot of misinformations and few are also false informations.
I mean, it's ok that some could like the game, some others don't like, overall the game isn't like any previous ones, but one thing is to say the truth (or informing), another thing to say falsehoods
because I tried breaktrough all the night and I could not get a single multikill, but it's maybe just the map (renewal) which is too big
Multikills can be tricky, luckily it isn't the bonus mission, so you technically have 2 more weeks to complete it
Since you need 3 kills right after each other I would go with something with a big magazine
yes
12M + T-UGS + paik
Ak with drum mag do job
the thing it that it's with smgs, so it kinda hard
I might take a shotgun instead...
the game was released on October 8th? that's false, that was the beta not the d1; the game went out wit h1 map only? again no, there were 7
Vector with drum mag
I meant k30
ik
ok
pp29 has a high ammo count as a base and is fairly consistent at all ranges
would be worth a shot
ohhhh yeah right
I might try with it
got my multikills completed with that
Pp29 is also very good weapon
alr
wait lemme check if I can send links here
I wanna show something I did yesterday
or just use zain I guess
Don't be a FOV snob 😄
what??
what's wrong with the fov?
I didn't change it
it's the base one
?
People that like a wide FOV will say the default is too narrow. There are advantages and disadvantages to both though.
should I use a larger fov?
larger playermodels is a big plus
Imagine 360view 😂
lmaooo
pro tip you only need the final kill with whatever weapon category for the multikill challenge
so it's understandable
explosive first, then gun works
well yes but I can't grab a M5A3 and a PBX-45 at the same time
also vehicle kills count
ok good
You can c4 😁
so if you get a fleeing guy after blowing up 2-3 in a mav
c5
etc
thanks for the tip ima try that
Yep my mistake
What FOV one should use depends on a lot of things. Preference being the biggest but things like what hardware one has also plays a major part. Monitor size, aspect ratio etc. especially.
Did someone tried ultra wide monitors on max fov? 😁
M16 is pretty cool now, but the slow reload...
You should try smg rush on portal
I can't run max fov in this game it just feels off
elaborate on turning everything off
what else can i turn off
For example i can run 120 fov in apex no problem but this i play only 100 i think
he said " yeah i got my 6"
got the every hour covered really gosh dang
i need a wide ass monitor, someone send me a quick 8 hundo
Haahahhahahahahahahaha
Almost 360
👌
this is what my normal view is
and then max
chromatic aberriation + nice yellow container texture
This uses vertical FOV as it's slider value, whereas apex uses horiztonal
unless you mean the converted values
And i wonder how did the enemy see me
I am playing on 85 fov on ultrawide 34“ lmao
No way I play on max fov
Then I see no enemies on range at all lmao
And with my current fov, I use a fusion holo for 1 to like 200 meters xD
What's the MacBook asnd dog for
Dude plays with a full squad but doesn't think much of one member
And wouldn't he want squad deathmatch
maybe he is the dog
mate, this is vertical field of view in this game
also apex legends calculate its fov like all other source games in a 4:3 aspect ratio
2 hours?
https://themetalmuncher.github.io/fov-calc/ use this to calculate the fov with
Frostbite is only engine where max fov looks like dogshit and feels horrible
because battlefield is vertical fov and apex is horizontal like most other games
overwatch, halo, you name it
engines not derived from quake use vfov, quake descendants use hfov
120 in apex is 105 in battlefield
I dont really care why
you asked

No one asked
Frostbite is the kind of engine where one letter change would break the whole game
They should use unreal
unreal networking 
Ea servers
possibly the only thing worse than frostbite networking
look up alien colonial marine ai fix
valorant is an incredibly slow game with few players to keep track of
Fortnite
didn't play it, the epic launcher dropped tracking files all over my other drives when i tried to install it
Yet you used origin
origin doesn't try to hide shit in d:\recovery
Its more of what you agreed to
lol
Wouldn't complain about other companies when agreed to EA
there's no excuse for a game launcher to try stuffing files in what it thinks is an OS recovery partition
i actually want to see proof, i never heard anyone say this
man you just choose to be willfully ignorant at every chance huh
People talk crap here every day i look here
redownloading it, will keep you posted
im trying hard to find someone else with the same issue
i cant
I would be ignorant for taking your word and not questioning it
.
I haven't even raised my hands yet
Do it
Nah this isn't a fight
What is it then? Modern love?
and again, if this still was an issue im 100% sure there would be some outcry
A banter
nobody is looking in their recovery folder regularly lol
i'd wager most people who have fortnite installed are still living with hidden folders off
there was an outcry for valorant anti cheat when that launched,
nobody looks there beside some very special people
just take a couple of reddit and twitter post to start something like that
yeah because developing and announcing your own anticheat specifically is strange behavior when 3rd party anticheats with known capabilites are normal
so people are of course going to be looking at that
some have hate against anything hooking into a game,
same with anti piracy
<--- downloading 40gb at a horribly throttled rate to prove a point
Have fun I'll go sleep 
it starts to sound like you have done something to make all kind of issues for your pc,
Already? Drink another one
my ssd is defective, it's stalling out when it runs into a bad block
thanks samsung
now you are blaming samsung, better get my popcorn
...i'd like to think how it could possibly be their fault their SSD is defective.
Simply get an iPhone
how would that help.
Cus Samsung doo doo
oh shit, let me me google how a couple of batches in there huge ssd marked is having issues
you can rma it and be fine lol
rma?
this is about you accusing me of making shit up when i said it was defective, not whether i still have it or not
you thanking samsung for a defective drive,
tech issues that happens from time to time
but you will just be mad at samsung and not rma it?
not even replacing it, even though its free lol
how do I summon alex to ask him if whoever named this attachment had fun with it
the S22's shotgun suppressor is called the NVK-BOX
because it looks like a box of course
Oh yeah it looks just like that on Xbox, really.
yeah fuck microsoft
i had 4 broken xbox 360
the original xbox was made with poor capasitors, so if you turn them on today, they properly blow
ps3 fat model also suffered from yellow light of death,
we love to see 554 bad blocks with 12 tbw https://i.imgur.com/TDj5J1l.png
i had 3 defective motherboards in a row, all different chipsets,
dont think i will every be that unlucky hah,
of course i just replaced them no problem,
im actually amazed you play ea games with there history
that is unfortunate
apparently the 980s and 990s have a firmware issue where they'll run through all the wear leveling and semi-brick themselves as read only
sucks, samsung used to be reliable
Statistically, they might still be the most reliable. They sell so many SSDs that bad stories will easily fill the media the most. It's hard to know without failure rate numbers for the manufactures out there.
and even then samsung have some decent warranty to back there products up
Heavy stuff
[desire to be programmed with the standard amount of data intensifies]
Only 2 or 3 weeks left till season 4
fuck
I seriously need to get my challenges done, but I won’t be home until later tonight 
Need to?
Y e s
K so lis missiles still don't like hitting stealth choppers
Every other vehicle is fine
It's just the stealth choppers for me
Tried it but it's only 16v16....
im looking for some teammates for coop vs ai at the highest difficulty
if only the game had strong support for it

It is a one-shot weapon so of course it does 'go hard'
You can cancel the ads by double clicking aim
Most people ive talked to hate it
It's just generally slow
And it doesn't really work well as a sniper anyway even from like 30 to 40 meters away, it's still a 2 shot
I'm just really good at movement, so the slowness of it cancels out
Fair enough.
Pair it with falk you are deadly
deadly weapons is deadly hmm
What
Lis+ transport heli or condor is fun
And the safest way to use lis
That's if the pilot is good
And you can repair the vehicle while waiting for cool down to end
The only problem is there's no chance of even getting in a helicopter in this game
Damn
You weren't lying
I spawned in a heli on spearhead and instantly got blasted by a tor
Yup
you can put c4 on it for some fucking reason
because we didn't learn anything from the last 2 times you could put c4 on a recon drone
Unfortunately there are gadget restrictions
plant on friendly eod
Would love to put a c5 on my eod drone
it takes two
Yeah sadly
its good
tEaMwOrK gUyS
It's funny that the whole point of the update for that but no one is doing it still
It’s not that the class system is guaranteed to create more teamwork but it properly restricts gadgets to the classes so their roles are better defined
the whole point of the update was to get classes back,
players have already used teamwork to some extend before that,
this goes for every game made ever, if you want some more in depth game plan, play with a pre squad
Cuts down on rocket spam, good for infantry to vehicle balance
cuts down on the insane amount of ammo/health boxes
Can I place a claymore on a drone
Flying one
Oh lmao
I really hope the season 4 map is good and balanced
Maybe they'll show a trailer on week 14
Or 13
Idk
Maybe they'll add more when they're done adding base maps
Or when they're done reworking
Hey is it a known bug that Rao’s steady scope trait isn’t working?
The scope still sways when adsing with the SWS
Actually I’m not sure that any of the recon specialists are working properly
that 20 bucks better be worth my spending
Why is the railgun allowed in smg rush?
why not
what happened to phantom bow
I hope they add a permanent 64 player hopper, I'm so tired of 128
128 is truly a terrible experience
You guys are just wrong
no
Yes
Lol
They are work you just have to press the steady scope button once
Did you hold left shift
😳
i love blowing people up with their own explosives
that's hilarious

smoke revive mission
morons who constantly give up after you ping them
some people just don’t want you to finish it
I don’t even think it counts if you’re the one throwing the smoke for your own revive. I did at least 10 last night, maybe more. And the counter only said I had 2
However throwing smokes for other peoples revives worked
How to i do planes only mode
trailer for what
Indiana Jones 5
Woohoo
better to take the death than to be farmed for 2 kills for the enemy and 1 revive for an incompetent teammate 
finally, a pink name with a good take
dont they know i have a mission to finish!
but most of those instances enemies were killed / not in the area and theyre giving up ..even during the smoke popping off
https://youtu.be/y1PwRZZGDJY figured someone might appreciate this on here
Wat lmao
That’s hella weird
its crazy theres no way of promoting ranked players over unranked players
I'm trying to promote the literal #1 world top player (LEGIT NO BOOSTING) on the game
and nowhere to get it over publicized
rank players in what?
@proper knot what are you talking about
I'm trying to promote From-The-H3avens twitch stream
ranked 6th worldwide
#1 (withought boosting)
as far i as know we never hard ranks in battlefiled lol
u talkin shit about dscisiv?
6
From-The-H3avens
ca
167,053,680
10,827
what is the metric that makes someone rank 1?
its a known fact that the top expers are boosters
kdr?
ALLxp
xp?
literally who cares? 
bruh we got xp farms on portal lol
wow you played the game more than you should have..gg
thats the point, From-The-H3avens has never boosted.
hence he is #1
go watch his stream
we dont know that
the link is in the channel
no one gives a shit lol
there is no way of checking if someone has never used xp portal farm lol
because its just xp
yeah it fundamentally does not matter
xp from portal farm and xp from regular matches are indistinguishable
its a skillgap, go watch his stream and tell me he isn't the best player worldwide
i'd love to see you tell me otherwise
bruh again it doesnt matter battlefield isnt a comp game
this is some room temp iq shit
and trying to shill for the cringelord playing in japanese is even worse
if u talking like he has high K/D maybe i belive u but ur metric is XP lol
KD is unreliable, too many boosters. look at the players with over 100kd
xp isn't though 
i mean what language you choose to play a game in doesn't matter
I used to play BF4 in Korean for a while mostly because i felt like it
while K/D is unreliable, it leagues better than XP lol, XP just tells me either he uses a lot of xp portal farms or he is a closet colonel
not necessarily. A crazy high k/d just means that a lobby full of kids lined up and got gorilla warfared over and over. but i do see your point that exp can be done the same
From-The-H3avens is a childhood friend, and i can tell you hes been playing competitive games all his life, hes never boosted. so its worth taking a look at his stream and seeing his large skillgap
How do i do only planes in battlefield
time played =/= skill, you can have someone playing bf 2042 only for 10 hours and destroy someone who has been playing for 2000 hours, its true for many shooters because the skils used in many of these games cross over
Share his stream in the channel used for sharing streams
shilling for your childhood friend in a casual game? bold move cotton
Nothing wrong with supporting your friend, but doing it here won't get you anywhere
i did, MANY times, and not many joined. maxed out at about 5-10 players, this is why i asked my original question. why is there no place to promote high ranking players. as i personally don't play battlefield
just supporting a friend
battlefield players hate skill
They do.
because battlefiled was never a competitive game, also since this game has 128 players the contribution of a single individual is misclue in comparison to the whole team
bf only has one goal PTFO
thats it
dont be mad they dislike malding streamers that go into reddit DMs to accost people 
anything else is in pursuit of PTFO
you can be a god at bf game but if you team sucks ass and dont PTFO guess what u lose lol
thats unfortunate. Well thanks for all your answers.. Hopefully his stream pops off, he deserves it, dudes got mad FPShooter skills
i've done what i can 😂
Maybe he should play better games.
its always PTFO lol, if say one team has too many camping snipers its almost guranteed which team wins lol
alt detected 
somebody came in here not too long ago and suggested each squad be limited to one class type, on top of weapon restrictions for classes 
that the stupidest take ive ever heard holy crap lol
That won't result in people leaving cause they can't get the class they want. Nuh uh. No way.
There's no possible way that would happen.
teams just need to have hard limits on how many snipers there can be 
zero
we had tools for that, they were called SERVER PLUGINS
it's all fun and games until you get put on a banlist for hitting 4kd in a match
Well I finished the terrible and utterly dreadful pp2000
Because I always use smgs and finish them 100%
At least that works out because then I can get it to level 100 like every other smg
What do you think about the PP2000 being buffed to be better than the SFAR in a couple days?
Wait it's gonna be better than the sfar?
yes
That's pretty dumb
Same damage range, higher rate of fire.
I love my smgs but the sfars damage range with hs multi and everything is just op.
I'm all for the smg buff but I was thinking higher damage with more recoil and rof
It's just the PP2000.
Oh what it's a vault weapon if yiu wanna make a smg op buff the aks
brain is turned off when making balance decisions, sorry
Yeah I'm just strictly on balance decisions for smgs. I don't think making the pp2000 op is the move
Just add the mac10
Or the mirco uzi
I mean the pp2000 irl has a fire rate of 650 so increasing the fire rate is questionable tbh
Well it's actually 600
personally if i was put in charge of SMG balance, I would remove the K30 and then buff the HS multiplier to 1.5x
ez
Nah k30 is a staple in smgs. Kriss vector has always been a sound smg. Buff the hs multi but nerf k30 overall damage and give smgs higher recoil or bounce
Nah. K30 can't be reasonably balanced unless you want people complaining.
The best solution is to remove it.
It can. You just have to lower the overall damage. It should take 8 bullets to kill due to fire rate. Recoil well jjst like the apc9 it has a anti recoil mechanism that allows it to show so fast and have no muzzle climb
They tried that already.
They did that in the last update they released before the Season 2 update that nerfed the SMG headshot multiplier.
Also k30 damage range shouldn't extend past 50m and around 30m it should drop down to about 12 damage per bullet
K30 isn't that good currently so it makes sense that they did that tbh
It has a weird fire rate hit reg bug
But I will say that making the pp2000 better than the sfar is a bad idea. Alot of people that play this game are bad. So they're gonna switch to the most op gun that will win them gunfights. Therefore the pp2000 will be overly used and abused and make cqb gunfights annoying
Update 1.2
Yeah they need bump those numbers down
18 for a 1200 rpm gun is still high
Lower it to 12
Odd but I guess I get it
Yeah the pf51 right?
Didn't they like nerf the he'll out of it
Also, I have to take issue with how updates are listed on EA's site for 2042
This is all the updates that are in the "Game Updates" section of the site.
Anyone notice how update 0.3.2 is listed as update 3.2? Yet update 3.2 is listed as update 3.2.0?
Notice how 1.2 is not here.
Notice how my sanity isn’t there either
yes and people were doing the funny and posting a link to 0.3.2 here and claiming it was 3.2.0 
I mean it was also a January update, just January 2022
Other updates that are not here:
-Update #3 [December 1, 2021]
-Update #3.1 [December 8, 2021]
-Update #3.2 [January 19, 2022]
-Update #1.0 [June 8, 2022]
-Update #1.1 [July 5, 2022]
I gotta say, this is pretty shoddy archiving of their updates. I don't understand why these updates are not here. Sure they might've been like, hotfixes or whatever, but they're still updates.
They should be listed with the other updates.
...It's important, okay. You gotta have easily accessible records of this shit for future complaining.
Well it’s time to T1 the PP2000
I already t1ed it
I t1ed it yesterday
It took me 12 hours of nonstop play to t1 the gun
im surprised you dislike the k30 a lot
I like using it for how powerful it is at close range, but when it comes to facing people who shoot you from across quite the distance, i'm practically just dead at that point
it's not that i dislike the K30, I just notice that it's a severe problem for this game's balance.
So is this game worth buying now?
depends, why didn't you think it was worth buying before?
if your answer is bugged input or performance then still no
So their are still alot of bugs?
its fine just dont pay full retail
not as many as launch but still critical gameplay impacting bugs yeah
the recoil bug is kinda sorta fixed and hitreg is kinda sorta fixed
Is the pp-2000 buff active? I heard it’s gonna be better damage wise than the sfar
so far not yet
Awesome, cus I definitely plan on shitting on heads once the update goes live
Smh lol
How do I play an only planes mode
portal prolly
On Tuesday usual update time
Thanks
finally got the two multikills for the battlepass
ty to the guy that suggested me to try it in rush
P90 feels good
Been using it and can say it feels like a pretty stable vault smg
Vut then again I'm also using Mackay the most op specialist
Just don’t aim in. Tightest hipfire spread in the game
Trust me I know but I've also been working on my recoil control for it so I'm doing better while aiming it
P90 recoil is pull down to the left and slowly curve right
Is it just me or is the felon annoying to use?
Tried using it to take down a jet and no matter how fast I tried to keep up,all it took was the jet to use vtol and I'd be screwed over,even when I slowed down
Damn dude I just went 66 and 5 with the acr
It's quite comical how effortless high kill games are with ars
hi
Welcome to the club hackerman123
I actually got accused of cheating by someone in this server lmaoo


anyone know if we're getting a development update or s4 trailer this week
ACW-R is kinda shit though Dread.
Yeah but considering it's an AR I can still 3 bullet headshot someone from 60m while shredding them upclose
I hate to say it but I'm actually having fun shitting on people with an AR
About to be
It's actually stupidly easy
It's also funny how people are considering the acr to be bad yet the whole smg class doesn't even compare to this
why use the ACR when you can use literally any other AR and do better
26 rounds in a mag sucks
factory issue M5
im still surprised at how accurate the in game m5a3 is to the real gun lol
even the bullet casings ejections match irl one
Podcast comes out in A few hours
we're evolving backwards to heavy ass battle rifles
another avancys in s4 
Is that not just the avancys and M5A3?
avancys is the fn evolys
They all look the exact same
The reason they look similar is because both were competing for the Army contract
So the avancys and m250 look similar
I’m pretty sure the xm7 is almost the same weight as the M4/M16
battle rifles r cool
Also I think the XM250 is lighter than the M249
like the sig cross, tread and their respective variants
2 (3 when loaded?) lbs heavier and also awkwardly front heavy between the long barrel and provided suppressor
Oh yeah I hear you about front heavy
very weird in general when we've spent so much time on the intermediate cartridge assault rifle idea
It’ll be worth it though man, gotta be able to pen that civ- I mean the Chinese and Russian armor
couldn't say, i'm here for the logistical problems
bimetallic cartridges are riding the very thin line between genius and stupid
I miss Santa Boris
I mean it was free
Actually nvm that would mean everyone would use it
Santa Boris was never released tho
Ya I wished it did
throwback to when the arms deal update dropped for csgo and i thought they would stick to more normal, mild skins
remember when csgo was good
That is one thing I’m suprised with 2042 for doing
csgo has only gotten more jank over time which is just baffling to me
gimme anime skins and cat ears
well there's that, but like a video on youtube or smth
gonna assume there will be a dev update video first, probably this week
then a s4 trailer next week
idk something like that
Probably next week
just like siege
siege is the only competitor to bf1/5 for "most cheated in game of all time"
You shall fear my tiny bot of destruction
boin
Guys how much is each battlepass?
Bro I can’t even play this ass game for 15 min without my series x overheating lmao
$10
i think
also throwing knifes and shotguns are pure dopamine
Would anyone know why the servers are lagging for me? My movement is slow and when i shoot my gun shoots slow asf too..?
You have to buy it directly with $ or with the in-game currency?
either/both!
yes
The game making me think I did bad in a match by saying 9 assault rifle kills when I actually have 55 kills
Mostly vehicle
Yeah the EoR stats highlight still isn't great
It's better than before, where it would show things like 'grenades thrown' or whatever, but yeah it still doesnt seem to pick your best stat
and also doesn't really acknowledge things like repairs, heals, resupplies as much
RIP Throwables Thrown
bring back throwables thrown for the smoke grenade meta
Boins
We love boins
The boins are calling
Why the xp boost change the color of the text to yellow when you do something in game
Unnecessary
To show that your xp rates are increasing, duh
It’s more dopamine inducing
Make brain happy 🙂
It just made me annoyed
That’s tuff
That’s an adverse effect, we’ll send a boin investigation team out to you to check if you’re alright
Like if people run color blind mode how it was good idea to change stuff color like that
You’re asking rhetorical questions, we’re sending out a boin investigation team immediately
You can’t ask rhetorical questions
You will fucking look at the dopamine inducing colors and you will like it!
Well I assume the yellow color will change accordingly to one’s colorblind settings
I will change it somehow
You will not
You will not
I will use nvidia custom game filter if its not possible in game
You will not 🙂

But you are able to play as an old, grey haired, already-hit-menopause medic 🙂
I will play black and white during the xp boost if i have to
1920s filter will go hard
The funny part is the boosters don’t count in real time
So until it expires, you will see yellow for the duration of the xp event
Is it just me or is the felon just...not it?
I tried to use it to take down an enemy panther and even though I slowed down,the Panthers vtol still screwed me over
Skill issue
Fly more
Jets aren't very strong in the game you are better off learning choppers
I dont think i have ever died to jet
We need bombs on planes for ground targets
Something like stealth chooper
Something like bf4
That would be awesome
Jets are rather poor vs helicopters too
Attack helis can fend off jets and I’ve done it so many times
Almost every time the pilot of the jet just goes and screws around minding it’s business
yeah I've never really seen jets try to fight off helis
I see jets fight jets and helis fight helis
Do planes not have this? That's kinda stupid. That would make them way more viable.
Jets kinda suck as is
Blame that on the handling
If they were able to be handled like in bf3/4 we wouldn't have a problem with them
Eh I can fly the US jet but the Russian jet is just too fast
?????????????????????????
did you guys already forget that stealth helis are in the game and they feel terrible to die to?
Give use the warthog
It's different on a jet though. Since they can be locked onto, aren't as maneuverable, and can't get as many places
but they're really funny to kill
is the podcast on tonight
That and jets are mostly a hit and run, whereas the helis can kinda hover. Obviously you can hover in the jet too but it's really a bad idea
how energy efficient are the game servers?
huh
Connection timeout is my end or server end?
servers farted
Honestly I can't even remember the last time I saw a stealth heli. Now it's just nightbirds
I think the mp18 pistol has a suppressor named spooky
32v32
servers being cringe today
The velocity buff sure makes it better
tfw you just made 57 revives in a breakthrough game and still lost :c
You're Scottish, that's worse.
did you really go back to messages posted 6 hours ago to say that
Should be 100
Git gud
yeah if only the defib cooldown was shorter
because im sitting there with 2 downed teammates gunfire over my head
can only revive one then wait for what feels like an eternity
half way through charging and i die and i dont get the revive
dice fix
reeeeeeeeeee
Anyone know how to bypass the mastery lvl 12 cap?
Play against real players
Ok thanks
What version of the 1942 theme does Portal use
is there any way to play as other than specialist
like a normal soldier (i dont care about the color/gender) but a character that atleast doesnt look like a schol shooter
and has dressed up properly
portal I guess, but that requires you to play the past eras
thank you
in this game you are stuck as these characters
tf
they did try to make them less irritating but this is what we have
so i payed 60€ for a wargame that has only characters that dont represent majority of any nations soldiers
you did research beforehand right?
should look into games before you spend money on them
because specialists have been one of the most dividing additions thus far
so did all of us
hopefully they return to the idea of making your own soldier rather than playing as a predetermined character, I just don't see that happening seeing how the specialist system would rake in far more in profits compared to the older systems
Now with the class system finally being added back they do offer some clearer readability which is nice, but frankly my issues stem from the gadgets themselves and the fact that their personalities make me actively hate playing them most of the time
Can you complete older weekly challenges?
Lmao I’ve been doing them each week since the start of season 1
Thought they were time limited
I've just sped through them all in one day 
better to wait until later because missions stack then
although you'll miss out on the levels earned through playing
most of these characters represent a small amount of soldiers anyway
and they all are made a "cool" backstory
i understand completely why they did it, and there is some good that can come of it, but it just raises more problems than I think it solves
I’ve never had a problem with the specialists tbh
i really hoped that i had the possibility to play as something thats even a little like a typical normal 18 to 32 year old conscript thats equiped properly and comes from a normal background
i dont care about the gender or color
I don’t see anything wrong with having characters instead of generic soldiers
But bf2042 kinda fucked up the lore lol
Like when it comes to being able to pick any character on both teams
In the character bios a bunch of them oppose being part of the exodus 💀
generic soldiers are what most people think when they hear or think about the word "battlefield" or the game
Oh absolutely. I’m fairly sure I’m alone with my opinion lol
Who the hell thought it’d be a good idea to have a challenge for twenty headshots with weapons that absolutely are not designed for that
I mean it’s not impossible
Just takes more time than other challenges
Lots of them are like that
Can’t even do it with bots
I don’t have a mouse, I can’t just pull off snapshots at a whim.
is it possible to use my own characters from bfY in portal?
tf
You will pay for shitty cosmetics in 2042 and like it.
so basically in this game about war theres a bunch of customizable clowns but no possibility to to customize a generic soldier
which would be way easier to make as a dev
Are you guys new to bf2042 lol
ye i paid full price and tough that this is even remotely like what you would think of after playing older battlefield games
It's not even the lack of generic soldiers that is the standout for me. It's the fact that they are often cringey, the lack of team separation, restricted customisation and gameplay implications of their gadgets and (past) open loadouts
like if they want to use a colorful cast of genders and ethnicies go for it but please dont lock things behind certain character and meke em actually look like soldiers
Anyone on ps4 wanna squad up later? Im 1.7kd dozer main
Cringy voicelines were taken out months and months ago lol
Like they could add generic soldiers with no backgrounds, but who's to say they won't also talk about how many cups of coffee they've had? Or if they are ready for round two of a global war? They could have wacky skins, open loadouts and overly powerful gadgets. It's the combination of everything that makes it what it is
most of them, fortunately, but some still remain
why didn't they go with the bfv customization method
they were generic and they would have been able to make even more cosmetics to lock behind microtransactions cos they use mostly same base models
no clue honestly
my guess is so they could produce more skins without needing to scan every combination for clipping, shader and animation issues
exsacly
but then you have situations where a skin might come out for someone you don't play, or the person you play never gets a decent skin
frankly I don't care about skins in games like this so they can do whatever they want and I won't mind
If you want the full answer to bf2042’s many problems, it’s probably because the original game director was hired off of candy crush lol
Studio veterans? Nah. Let’s hire the candy crush guy
they would still been able to use various ethnicies and gender like in bfv with generic soldiers
I still don’t see any problem with characters honestly
They did a full redesign and removed the voice lines for all of the specialists in a update last year
The game has been significantly improved since then
wake island map for bf1942 game mode would be nice
some people want to play as whoever they want, express themselves, which you can't do with pre-defined characters
Whoever came up with this challenge can get fucked
the 20 headshot one?
That and the one where you have to get multi kills, again with weapons that are unsuited for it
You ever try going ham with a shitgun
Ain’t happening
oh is it multikills with a shotgun?
Tacticals and smgs
Multi kills are three at a time. I need them bunched together like idiots, not paying attention, and to not run out of ammo
i'll have to check to see if i've done that one, I just kind of play and let the challenges complete themselves unless one is being illusive
I can't remember who I was talking to but I suggested the PP29 due to it's high mag size and great accuracy
Breakthrough + PP29/12M
crossbow is the best for that challenge
I mean I managed at least two multikills w/ the 12m, but yes pp29 is “easier”
MSC and Nvk all the way
When I use the 12m auto I use the default standard even if I do own the drum
Also this is a game where like 80% of encounters happen beyond fifty metres
what's the duration in which you need to get those three kills to be classed as a multikill?
The fitness gram pacer test is a multi stage aerobic capacity test
Just nuke a mav or transport
When should i skip to deploy? is there certain criteria?
if them reviving you puts them at risk of dying, and you are certain they won't be able to take enough space to revive you in time
since some people will blindly run to revive, that can help. But if there is a chance that your nearby teamates can take back that space you might as well wait
it would be easier to spot the right and wrong time in breakthrough given the linearity of it, I find I stay in the downed state intentionally longer in conquest because player numbers are more spread out
so often times the person who killed you might run off and open up that space, so a friendly can come along and revive you freely
what about in hazard zone? is it always best to wait and hide since you can move around a bit? should you bleed out if they're just about to deploy an uplink?
sorry for all the questions btw
M44 collateral heady
oh I've never played that, wouldn't know
I guess smoking revives doesn’t count for shit now
i dream of the day i get kills on purpose
but since it's one life I would probably stay downed and not skip
lined up perfectly
so is there bullet penetration?
i hit one headshot on the guys on top floor but it wasnt kill
damage range drop perfectly here
I was smoking every goddamn revive but only ‘smoke assists’ I got accidentally counted for the challenge
Because god forbid something actually worked correctly in this game
you mean so you can kill more than one with certain weapons?
yes
everyone always complains about stuff but, as a noob, i barely see anything wrong with the game. It may be to do with the fact that i have never played any of the other battlefield games so i dont know what to expect
Mate half the game is fucking non functional
what weapons is it possible with?
The game is not monitoring for revives concealed.
there are still a lot of technical issues, granted it's better than it was, much better, but not perfect
m44 and snipers come in mind
im not disagreeing i just havent noticed much wrong
but they shouldn't get in the way too much
I thought concealed revives only counted for assists
i only get it when someone else revives in my smokes
yeah I tried and I got completed the mission, thank you!
yeah when i saw that mission i was like eh, smoke launcher and nade spammed a BT chokepoint, got it fast from other medics and assist kills through smokes
ohhh
I was gonna say, the mission is for assists in smoke. So just spam smoke and get it gg
well that's, interesting
yeah thats how i understood it
makes sense I guess
al though it is kinda funny how you don't get the concealed revive bonus
yourself that is
the assist part is useful to teach people about concealment, but you don't really want to be smoking your own team all the time
oh dang
i keep forgetting to ask questions
Cookie if the ducking week
Lycan is gonna enjoy this one
YEARRRRE
still haven't listened to the last one
how do i view my nvidia highlights of my game
was there much brought up in the previous one?
alt + z you can find the gallery or just open the folder you save them
its not in the gallery
it appears in a separate folder i can only access after a game is complete
however i dont have an hour to play a full game
might be better off recording the clips yourself
use the instant replay portion of shadowplay
replay is good for capturing those collaterals
Challenges should not be reliant on other people doing the work for you
and weird momemts
They’re stupid as fuck
it is a little bit odd that that's how it works
The only way to tell that there’s people who need covered revives is to be a medic
And at that point I’m probably the only one who’s going to do it
4 weapons and 2 vault weapons coming with S4
still just one map?
Bet they’re not going to be interesting
Well I have no clue lmao. Podcast just says 4 weapons and 2 vault weapons
gotcha
I mean we have an lmg, an smg, and an AR which all look really cool
Not sure about the 4th
Svd and type 88 are the vault guns
