battlefield-2042

[arctic grove]

[stray python]

It was removed because nobody liked it

[arctic grove]

I do

[acoustic seal]

"i like <feature>", says person who has never had to interact with said feature

many such cases!

attrition in bfv was a hot one

[pastel loom]

attrition was compensated with enforcing the first slot of medic and support
to have a health/ammo box or pouch

and also in return, can't equip both at once

before bfv, it was possible to equip two different gadgets without these two

and use both too

[lusty musk]

Imagine if we had the hotwire mode from Hardline as a 2042 gamemode for shits and giggles, give some real use to light transports outside of sitting back sniping with the 30mm

[arctic grove]

imagine hostage mode

[pastel loom]

hotwire was necessary for hardline
because all vehicles had progression level
even cars

so easy ranking

[arctic grove]

does anyone remember hostage

[pastel loom]

I used to confuse it with crosshair

[arctic grove]

it's the VIP mode

lok

[lusty musk]

bring hotwire back but for the civilian vehicles so players can get T1 easier lol

[arctic grove]

bring back hostage mode

bring back obliteration

[acoustic seal]

i was gonna say "bring back frontlines" but these maps are so bad for it

[solid imp]

imo best mode in any FPS of all time was in America's Army 2, Hospital VIP extraction

[sour steeple]

I miss the perks from bf1. For example Spot downed Team mate to spawn smoke on him. (Had also a cooldown) was a perk for medics. Hella usefull

[arctic grove]

you don't like field upgrade?

[acoustic seal]

pros: concealed rescue
cons: people using slink in a game with audio issues

[sour steeple]

They were also really good in bfh

[frigid spindle]

how do i fix this? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/906164208637464636/1078686773468725380/ddddddddddddd.PNG

[arctic grove]

and 4

[sour steeple]

Audio is fine honestly when it comes to directional footstep audio

[radiant prism]

my kyboard isn't workin

[frigid spindle]

i have a bigger issue

[arctic grove]

I mostly do that

[radiant prism]

I CAN TYP L AAIN

oop

[frigid spindle]

but try to hit it a few times it usally work for me

[radiant prism]

nvm

oh thank fuck everythings working again

Anyways

was trying to say

I swear vfc is playing a different game than all of us

[frigid spindle]

do you by any chance know how to fix this? i have tried to re install EAC and redo the setup of EAC
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/906164208637464636/1078686773468725380/ddddddddddddd.PNG

[shell ermine]

Cool that the F-35 might actually be useful now

[radiant prism]

yeah that was the only thing holding it back

took way too long to get fixed

but better late than never I suppose

[frigid spindle]

doesn't matter if they fixed the f-35 when you cant even play the game because of the horrible anti-cheat

[radiant prism]

have you talked to EA support?

[shell ermine]

Consoles

[solid imp]

There are a few threads out on answers.ea.com.. it seems like a good success rate verifying file integrity
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/After-Escalation-update-ERROR-Player-Removed-From-Game-Easy-Anti/m-p/12070766/highlight/true#M36521

[frigid spindle]

i did all of those things that they will fix it

[shell ermine]

Have you tried turning your PC off and on again?

[radiant prism]

that could actually work

[solid imp]

Someone here had the same thing a few weeks back and they did some sleuthing.. for them the fix was going into Control Panel / Programs&Features / Repair Visual C 2015-2022 (or probably just repair all the visual C entries)

[arctic grove]

don't do that

[frigid spindle]

will try

[arctic grove]

when you have over 100 of them

[solid imp]

don't repair visual C?

[next onyx]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/744068260718182420/1078657631884951642/image.png

[arctic grove]

[solid imp]

lol oh gotcha

[next onyx]

This is one change I'm excited for.

If there's one time of my fanboyism time of levelcap that still sticks onto me it's his 133% map size.

[solid imp]

well if you have loads of them, for that specific person it was specifically "Visual C 2015-2022"

[arctic grove]

I appreciate the 40m radar

I do wish previous games had it

[radiant prism]

Still wish they'd add air vehicles back to breakthrough

[arctic grove]

still wish they brought gunship

[frigid spindle]

i only have Visual C 2015-2019

[solid imp]

give it a try repairing 🙂

[frigid spindle]

which one i have 2 of them

one is x64 and one is x86

[arctic grove]

both

[frigid spindle]

ill repair both

gosh darnit i have to restart my computer

[arctic grove]

If I completed all the weekly missions can I no longer level up further* on the battlepass?

[remote kiln]

not necessary, https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe and https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe are installers which will install missing packages for you

[remote kiln]

you can, but by playing the game

[arctic grove]

Right thought so, cus I played three matches last night didn't appear to progress

[rapid flint]

assault will be able to carry up to 2 med pens pogger

[solar tinsel]

Yeah you get 1BP per X amount of XP, and that required amount (X) goes up over time

[next onyx]

I'm not sure how I feel about being able to hold 2 med pens.

[arctic grove]

I wonder how things will be like if deploy able bags are one time usage

[solar tinsel]

Yeah that might shift Assaults power quite a bit ha. At least you still spawn with 1

[acoustic seal]

disappointed that it's not 4 or 5

[radiant prism]

2 is a little scary tbh

[solar tinsel]

but still, having essentially a potential of 300 HP can be pretty wild

[radiant prism]

1 is already pretty powerful

[acoustic seal]

if you let someone leave a fight and pop a medpen, you already lost the engagement once

if they then kill you after medpenning, you've lost twice

[rapid flint]

i love 2 medpen mackay 😄

been playing as falck since the class update, cant wait to go back

[arctic grove]

I wonder what things will be like if deploy-able bags are one time usage

[radiant prism]

deployable bags?

[arctic grove]

yes

the med and ammo

duh

[radiant prism]

oh

boxes

ye

yeah no that sounds dumb lol

[arctic grove]

would that be balance?

[radiant prism]

no

[arctic grove]

lol

[solar tinsel]

that sounds terible haha

it would make the heal and resupply roles useless

[arctic grove]

if we're getting multiple bags

might as well let it not have cooldown

[solar tinsel]

Even Battlefield 2 (2005) which ***had ***multiple bags, still had a timed resupply

[acoustic seal]

there's not even a point to restricting medpens since you get 12 falck darts per life

[solar tinsel]

Requiring resupply of resupply gadgets (ammo/health) is just a bad gameplay loop issue IMO

[frigid spindle]

is that a official microsoft distributor of that software?

[radiant prism]

difference is with falck is that those darts can go to other people

[arctic grove]

mortar and UCAV cooldown

bad choices

[uneven flame]

[remote kiln]

lol there's no such thing as a distributor, only Microsoft

[acoustic seal]

okay? it's still a lot of potential self heal

[radiant prism]

Its a lot of potential other heal too

Which most good players will put to use alongside their own use

Also falck's thing is slower than the medpen

[solar tinsel]

I think well just have to wait and see with the medpen

[radiant prism]

its an easy revert if its too annoying

If you like you can instead go here to be sure of what you're clicking on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

[radiant prism]

also nice thing is taking any damage at all cancels heals

[sharp marten]

[radiant prism]

so medpen already isn't terribly annoying

[frigid spindle]

it still doesnt work, kicks me after i join and prompts me with the text in the screenshot i listen before

[solar tinsel]

Didn't I say that last night? 😆

knew it would happen

[royal trail]

is pp29 a meta smg? it feels really smooth to me with just fast enough fire rate and sustained fire with 65 bullets

[acoustic seal]

it's really not, you shoot the ground and regen faster than medpen since medpen regen was nerfed when they restricted it to one per life

[calm bison]

FUCK YES

[plucky chasm]

damn bro if true and it doesnt kick us to the damn menu

[calm bison]

THEYRE DOING IT

THE F35 CAN NOW COMPETE

[solar tinsel]

Plus general mobility improvements it seems

[frigid spindle]

have they banned msi afterburner with rivatuner from being used while playing bf 2042?

[solar tinsel]

which will be warranted

[calm bison]

[acoustic seal]

yeah, big consistency even though the headshot multiplier sucks for no reason

[solar tinsel]

Used to be, not anymore, but still very good and yes the sustained fire helps

[plucky chasm]

do u get free bnattle pass with game pass version

[remote kiln]

no

[plucky chasm]

works for me

oh ok that sucks

[frigid spindle]

do you use the OSD that comes with rivatuner?

[solar tinsel]

Despite the Lis nerf, I bet her pick rate will still be wildly high, and I imagine Boris/Crawford may need a buff at some point, but we'll see

[remote kiln]

rivatuner can conflict with EAC yes, not entirely sure why you're using it

[royal trail]

i use rtss and msi afterburner, no problem here

[frigid spindle]

to have a OSD

[remote kiln]

OSD of what?

[frigid spindle]

i dont want my computer to overheat so i have to monitor its temps

[frigid spindle]

on screen display of rivatuner

displays how much of my gpu is being used and how hot it is as well for my cpu and it displasys my fps on my screen

[remote kiln]

..

[arctic grove]

mine isn't conflicting

[royal trail]

ye the osd of rtss is not banned

[remote kiln]

how hot is your median temperature

[frigid spindle]

i have used it before and it didnt conflict before

[frigid spindle]

i also need to use msi afterburner to modify the fan curve of my gpu because the stock fan curve on my gpu is on 10% till its at 60 celcius it then goes to 100% so its like a leaf blower shutting on and off

[sharp marten]

Way is to excited

[remote kiln]

how hot is your median hardware temperature when playing the game

[frigid spindle]

60-67C for my cpu, 50-55C for my gpu

[remote kiln]

..?

lol

you're worried about overheating?

[pliant acorn]

What's APS

[frigid spindle]

i also dont want my computer to be at 77C

[frigid spindle]

armor piercing shell or active protection system

[patent prism]

Active Protection System.

[remote kiln]

dude, 77 Celsius is the median hardware temperature

your hardware can't overheat

it's impossible

[frigid spindle]

of newer software not for my old cpu

[pliant acorn]

Oh I love that thing

[royal trail]

hot spot temp on 3090 seem to be a problem on many gpus where people recommend to open up the card and replace the paste. but i feel like most people aint comfortable opening their cards since it could void the warranty

[frigid spindle]

i dont use a 3090

[remote kiln]

it's literally, every CPU in existence

stop worrying about numbers on a screen they mean nothing

as long as it's under 90 degrees you're fine

[remote kiln]

VRAM modules rather

[frigid spindle]

i am not turning off MSI afterburner or RTS

[remote kiln]

you can do what you want I'm just informing you you're wasting your time

not forcing you to do something

[pliant acorn]

I don't think I've ever been addicted to a bf game

Except bf4

[chilly jacinth]

addiction is bad

[pliant acorn]

Well not addicted

But it's fun

And I want to play it

[arctic grove]

what are you addicted

[frigid spindle]

as i said before my stock gpu fan curve is bad and it sounds like a leaf blower turning on and off because the stock fan curve is 10% till at 60C then it goes up to 100% (it doesn't climb up to 100% its spike up to 100%) and MSI afterburner is the easiest way to solve that

[pliant acorn]

BF2042

[arctic grove]

well I'm not

with portal, I did for a while

but not anymore

because it gets old

[pliant acorn]

I'm doing good now

And having fun

M5A3 with close range bullets are amazing

[arctic grove]

I'm addicted to 4 and 3

[pliant acorn]

4 is fun

They should remaster it

[arctic grove]

[mossy badge]

Last fps I played was miiw and I was actually addicted to it

[arctic grove]

you funny

[mossy badge]

It's been month I haven't got chance to play it

[arctic grove]

last cod I played was mw3

and it's better

[patent prism]

last cod i played was world at war

good times

[pliant acorn]

Mw3 survival >

[mossy badge]

I love campaign of miiiw the most in the mw triology

[arctic grove]

you're gonna trigger the mw2 fans

watch yourself

[patent prism]

congratulations on being clean for a month! i remember my first month clean from drugs (arma 3).

[pliant acorn]

Am I allowed to cuss in this server

[patent prism]

it gets easier, i promise

[mossy badge]

I love mwii also

[arctic grove]

bro

[pliant acorn]

Mw2 was the first time I was introduced to trash talkers

[frigid spindle]

why do you want to curse?

[arctic grove]

the original or reboot

[pliant acorn]

And I got called a p

[patent prism]

why the fuck wouldn't you? /s

[pliant acorn]

I don't want to

But it was part of the story

[frigid spindle]

because it doesn't make your point clearer nor makes your argument more constructive

[pliant acorn]

Basically Mw2 was the first time I was introduced to trash talkers and I got called pussy

I was 8

Maybe 6

[patent prism]

sarcasm, difficult concept to grasp when expressed in text.

[sharp marten]

[pliant acorn]

And I have since grown

[solid imp]

Let's keep it constructive please, he came in asking for help with an issue

@frigid spindle you might just need to open a ticket with EA support on this.. you can try to turn off OSD and anything else just for troubleshooting purposes but beyond that it sounds like it's outside what help can be provided here

[next onyx]

You are allowed to swears but slurs are a no go.

Though we advise you not to go crazy with them.

[radiant prism]

fucking fuck fuck head

thats u

way

:(

[mossy badge]

[sharp marten]

How goes it my dear friend?

[mossy badge]

Very tiring

Days

How about you Preston

[low timber]

There, NVK-S22 T1’d.
Last primary is MCS-880
And last Sidearms are MP28 and PF51

[mossy badge]

I have a nice raccoon video to share look in general

[solid imp]

With a full suite of Active Threat Detection as well as a defensive system that throws grenades out in all surrounding directions, this is truly the infantry trojan horse that you’re looking for.

It's like the new IFV is made out of Sundance

[pliant acorn]

What

[solid imp]

Giant, armored Sundance on wheels

[pliant acorn]

What throws grenades

I need it

For rush

[solid imp]

This new beauty

[pliant acorn]

Oh nvm

That won't be in rush

[next onyx]

I didn't realise they were bringing back the Panzer 38t.

[spiral folio]

Yea its basically a scandinavian stryker

Its the lockheed havoc/patria

Where the stryker is canadian so you can get those delicious asbestos brake pads

[calm bison]

I’m just happy that
A) Jets are getting handling improvements
B) The F-35 can now actually compete in a turn fight against the SU-57 femboy

[low timber]

You did that joke back in reveal

[next onyx]

Yeah and I'll fucking say it again!

[low timber]

So Way
How many non T1 2042 weapons do you have left?

[spiral folio]

Do i have one?

I dont know if i have any t1 things

Lis requires vehicle kills i think

[plucky chasm]

wake me up when 2042 is good

[next onyx]

I'm not sure Marse.

[spiral folio]

Its good

[next onyx]

I'd rather not stress but I think I know of a way to get them done.

[plucky chasm]

not yet

[next onyx]

When the time comes.

[spiral folio]

Wake up its good again

[solid imp]

The Penguins have filled in a hole near B1 where players were unable to get out of if they had fallen victim to it. Pesky penguins.

[spiral folio]

A hole full of penguins huh

[golden dagger]

Rao <3

[calm bison]

WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP

[golden dagger]

[calm bison]

[plucky chasm]

season 5 it will b good

[calm bison]

But not this season?

[solar tinsel]

odds are people who don't find the game fun now, will likely never find it fun

[plucky chasm]

idk i havent played season 4

[low timber]

I’ve only got the MCS-880 left on the primaries, checking it out in NoNam3’s aim trainer, not great tbh, while it has the potential the slow rate of fire kills it, and only the standard buckshot is worth using.

[solar tinsel]

Nothing so dramatic will change it to the point that it will magically sway opinions

[calm bison]

None of us have

[arctic grove]

if they don't bring back commander mode

[calm bison]

It’s not out yet

[plucky chasm]

you dont reckon?

[arctic grove]

it's game over

[plucky chasm]

i know

[calm bison]

Why do people care so much about commander mode?

[spiral folio]

Are you awake yet

[calm bison]

Did it really offer anything meaningful to BF4?

BFV had a system that was far better and far more rewarding

[low timber]

Also odd how the shotguns don’t have any HSM, except MCS-880 and 12M slugs.

[calm bison]

The squad requisition system was basically the commander mode but you actually had to PTFO to use it

[solar tinsel]

I think the game now is indicative of the general experience we will see the rest of it's lifecycle. This is not to say it won't get better and continue to improve as it has, but if it hasn't crossed that threshould for you yet, with the new maps, the class rework, etc. I don't see it hitting a threshold for you personally - because where would that be?

[solid imp]

Commander was fun, maybe it wasn't the best possible version of a meta system around a match but it was still enjoyable

[spiral folio]

Bf5 had like special tanks and cruise missiles

[next onyx]

Squad tanks yeah.

[calm bison]

Yeah

[solar tinsel]

The game is a fun game and good now IMO, but it's all subjective. I don't think there's going to be an addition so transformative that it will change minds of people who arent having fun now

[next onyx]

Churchill crocodile best tank in the game.

[calm bison]

It also had Pakwagens and the like

[arctic grove]

as a person that sucks at pvp, it's well endowed

[next onyx]

Hitscan velocity for its main cannon and could two hit kill a tiger FROM THE FRONT.

[calm bison]

I see your crocodile and raise you the Calliope

[solar tinsel]

Id enjoy commander mode again

[solid imp]

Aha, this was on my wish list from day 1 🙂

Adjusted the AT Mine so that it blends into the terrain better.

[spiral folio]

Probably the 76mm HV 17pounder

[solar tinsel]

but its not gonna be in 2042 I can guarantee that

[next onyx]

Calliope was ok.

[solid imp]

But still... AT Mine skins when

[next onyx]

Rockets shredded heavy tanks.

[calm bison]

And then we get to big bertha

THE STURMTIGER

[next onyx]

And the main cannon was all you needed since all it was was unnerfed HEAT from the base sherman.

Sturmy boy was fun.

[acoustic seal]

rao buffed again, why?

APS will no longer remain active after a vehicle has been hacked.

[next onyx]

Multi kills were so easy and a dedicated crew could supplement a push.

Cause of flares spotting people.

[solid imp]

APS shouldn't remain active if it's hacked

[golden dagger]

bc hot

[next onyx]

EMP mines.

EMP's were sadistic in 2142 cause they'd completely shut your vehicle down.

[solar tinsel]

ha i remember that

[low timber]

There, make one more specialist for engineer

[solid imp]

Dang it lol

Fixed an issue where the M416 had the incorrect headshot multiplier.

Or maybe it increased with that change? I'm reading as it was too strong..

[sour steeple]

Now imagine they do it with flares

[next onyx]

An engineer that can run two gadgets and its passive would disable vehicles momentarily (2 to 3 seconds).

By disable not shutdown but momentarily EMP.

[low timber]

The engineer class is a bit underwhelming atm, as there’s only one true engineer, Lis as Boris has a turret that can damage vehicles and useless passive, Crawford has a turret that can damage vehicles and a engineer repair passive, while Lis has engineer gadget and engineer passive.

[solar tinsel]

I definitely think Boris and Crawford will need buffs, even after this Lis nerf in 4.0

Her pick rate will probably sitll be pretty high

[low timber]

A reverse Lis would be perfect

As they could use a launcher

[spiral folio]

They just buffed the range so i doubt theyll reverse course a ton

[solar tinsel]

4.0 has some pretty substantive nerfs to Lis

[low timber]

You answering to me Znath?

[solid imp]

they did reverse course

[spiral folio]

Like what

Well wheres my hat then

[solar tinsel]

Reduced the maximum range of Lis' G-84 TGM from 600m to 475m.
Reduced the boost speed of Lis' G-84 TGM from 150m/s to 110m/s.
Tightened the turning angles of Lis' G-84 TGM.
Adjusted the input clamping when boosting with G-84 TGM in accordance to the new turning angles.
Reduced the acceleration modifier when boosting with Lis G-84 TGM from 1.85x force to 1.15x force.

by "tightening the turning angles" they mean that as a nerf

[low timber]

When I said reverse Lis I mean a specialist with a Mine gadget and can equip a launcher

[spiral folio]

Yea they mean tighten turning deviation

So i guess theyre resetting lis to where it was before they buffed it?

I guess thats not as bad as it coulda been

[solar tinsel]

I guess, I'd have to compare notes a bit, it still might be higher than pre-3.2 but unsure

[spiral folio]

Lets make the range 500 a much better number

[pliant acorn]

We should ping the devs so they see this

[solar tinsel]

I think it's necessary. Being abl to double back on a rocket was wack, and if the pick rate for Lis is so high it gets silly

[low timber]

The range went from 450m -> 600m -> 475m

[solar tinsel]

nice thanks for looking that up!

[low timber]

I didn’t look it up
I remembered

[spiral folio]

500m is a nice round even number

475 is weirdly specific

[still vault]

If they are actively chatting, sure. If not, remember server rule 9 🙂

[torpid wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/lets-go-lets-goo-lest-gooooooooooooooooo-gif-19416648

[spiral folio]

Ask a mod to @ them

[acoustic seal]

it needs to be more like 300, having lis be the dedicated air counter is ridiculous

[spiral folio]

300 wont reach the top of those tall towers

[pliant acorn]

You should @ every dev

[spiral folio]

450 barely does

[solar tinsel]

I think with the turning reduction, it will hopefully be better in general now

[solid imp]

sky box is waaaay higher than 300 lol

[spiral folio]

475 will kind of reach

[solar tinsel]

and that it wont become the dedicated AA rocket haha

[spiral folio]

I mean i was surprised by 600m myself

600m was like "oh i missed... " -turn- "hi I'm back"

450 if you miss -hit E-

[solar tinsel]

yeah that combined with the better turning was the issue

and I agree, I think if you go for a risky shot and miss, time to back out and try again

thats the risk/reward

[spiral folio]

Lower turn rate will make it a 1 time chance and pick another target

[solar tinsel]

as it should be IMO

[spiral folio]

I still think 500 is a more attractive number. Id like to hear why 475 is the ideal number

Or 555

[royal trail]

switching from an old dlss dll in other games to the latest once have removed the ghosting entirely , i wonder if the same could be achieved if dice updated the dlss dll to the latest dll

[spiral folio]

Add throttle so i can land the rocket as a trap

Use a big track ball to control it

Reach about 200m
Throttle down
180 degree turn
Land the rocket set for proximity fuze

[chilly jacinth]

dlss does fuck all in this game

[royal trail]

with dlss on quality i can see an outer line outside of the character model in bf2042 as it is now

[chilly jacinth]

for most

[royal trail]

it makes a huge difference for me

in 4k

[chilly jacinth]

well makes sense if you're gaming at 4k

[spiral folio]

Tbh when i saw the 600m range i was like "theres no way thats gonna stay"

[acoustic seal]

While piloting or driving a vehicle, lock-on sounds will no longer play for any passengers.
?????????????????????

[solid imp]

👀 reading this makes my brain fry a bit, like "the dlss dll did dip dill pickles"

[spiral folio]

Why the actual hell not..

"Screew you guys"

[royal trail]

basicly updating to the latest dlss dll has removed ghosting

[solid imp]

excellent 🙂

[royal trail]

but eac doesnt let u update the dlss dll

so ure stuck with an old

[solid imp]

less excellent

[solar tinsel]

I probably would have preferred just reduced volume, because having that context is still important

UNLESS they mean specifically sounds from the friendly driver locking on to enemies

in which case, sure its probably good thats going away

[drowsy shuttle]

Ya ya. I update dlss for RDR2 and its amazing. But yeah we cant do that on BF 2042 because o EAC. Hope dice updates that soon

[royal trail]

ye

[pliant acorn]

How do people use vehicles in bfV

I always die by infantry or another tank

[acoustic seal]

the hardest part of reading the patch notes is finding out what changed, the second hardest part is finding all the undocumented changes

[pine roost]

The hardest part of reading the patch notes is when they said they raised the pitch down speed

[solid imp]

yeah this seems a tad arbitrary.. if I'm doing my repairbot thing on a hind it helps me know when to switch away from launching lis rockets out the door and back to my torch -_-

[pine roost]

That made my brain the big confused

Cause pitch up is the nose you know, going up

Doesn’t matter as long as the change goes through correctly

It’s only notes after all

[spiral folio]

Seems like thats why.
Removing that warning will mean more full transport wipes

[naive quiver]

https://youtu.be/-L8655RICFE look we’re all going have fun in season 4

[acoustic seal]

jackfrags

[cosmic storm]

I think that is the true meaning of the patch note.
Probably a bit misunderstanding

[spiral folio]

Maybe?
Otherwise guess who's not riding a transport ever again

I usually regret gunning for people anyway

[next onyx]

They should just allow us to spawn on the exterior of a transport.

Don't understand why they're saving that gimmick for an IFV.

When transports should generally have that feature.

[drowsy shuttle]

Assault will be able to carry 2 medpens is a nice buff...

[spiral folio]

One of my fantasy wishes would be hp shown on vehicles before you spawn on em

[next onyx]

Or do they need the IFV to have that gimmick to remain "interesting"

When you have a bolte 2.0 coming back.

[pliant acorn]

I want to use STG in 2042

Why is that not a feature

[solar tinsel]

Agreed, give MAV, Condor/Hind, and CAV Brawler that feature. If you do, that's a good argument to remove the main cannon from the Condor/Hind too

Make them true spawn points

[next onyx]

Don't need to reply ping I'm right here.

[spiral folio]

Its called a ak47 now

[pliant acorn]

Boring

[next onyx]

Troglodytes will still sit in them for some unknown reason.

[solar tinsel]

maybe auto spawn on the choppers would be too OP, but could be balanced in other ways too

[next onyx]

Not an auto spawn what. Just allow us to spawn on the exterior when they're full and remove their main cannons.

[solar tinsel]

thats what I mean

[next onyx]

I don't get what you meant by an auto spawn.

[spiral folio]

Ak47 and m16 both adopted a lot of features from the stg44

[solar tinsel]

I used the wrong terminology my bad

[spiral folio]

M60 and mg42 also share an uncanny amount of design

By pure coincidence

[next onyx]

Didn't the m60 take inspiration from the mg42 with its loading mechanism or something.

[acoustic seal]

ah so the sticky launcher and pocket shotgun are way too strong as expected

[spiral folio]

Its funny when people ask for old weapons because like.. new ones are just improved versions of the old one usually

[drowsy shuttle]

After reading the patch notes, i can't hide my disappointment on Dice once again. Its unbealivable they didnt buff player base skill. Unplayable. Hope they improve that for next Battlefield.

[dapper night]

About the new vehicle I expected for it be a actual IFV but instead got a greater MAV…

[spiral folio]

Like "i want a tankgewehr"
Why not a m107
"Cause tankgewehr is super powerful"
M107 is more powerful and semi auto"

[dapper night]

It’s not even a IFV to begin with

[pastel loom]

define player base skill
this sounds too broad

[solar tinsel]

I think it's meant to be a joke

[drowsy shuttle]

The players skill. Specially teammates.

[solar tinsel]

DICE teammates bad plz buff

[pine roost]

It’s just going to be boring. The driver gets no control over the gun and the gun is at the complete mercy of the driver if it works how I believe

[next onyx]

Slugs might be the play with the shotgun it depends.

[dapper night]

Pretty much

[ripe hedge]

Nope

[next onyx]

It's pretty much a bolte then.

[spiral folio]

Ahh are they not giving the wheel apc driver the turret?

[dapper night]

Just give us an actual IFV DICE

No more gimmicks

[ripe hedge]

Thank you

[dapper night]

Nope

[next onyx]

Slugs have always been weird in battlefield. You're trading range for accuracy yet the slugs have less consistency than buckshot at a range like hello?

I dunno I'm not looking forward to using this shotgun.

[spiral folio]

I mean itd be cool of 2042 had a working anti-material rifle like the m107 from decades ago

[pliant acorn]

Pov medics on my team "incoming medic 5m" walks right over me then dies

[next onyx]

Imma run with smokes and a smoke launcher just to close in on the range.

[ripe hedge]

What do you mean "working"

[next onyx]

6.8 AUG would be based to add.

[spiral folio]

One that does damage

[next onyx]

Also hello Alex!

[pliant acorn]

Are you dev

[ripe hedge]

More than the NTW?

[next onyx]

He is a dev yeah.

[drowsy shuttle]

Only on saturdays

[next onyx]

Oh yeah it's a Saturday.

[spiral folio]

Instead of the pretend ntw one with no ammo capacity and awful velocity yea

[solar tinsel]

Wait, what type of god tier weapon are you wanting here? lol

[next onyx]

It's raining after a week and a half of constant 30C weather.

[spiral folio]

M107 or m95 would be good

[next onyx]

The NTW was extremely strong at launch, Too strong.

[dapper night]

Hi gonna ask, but do you have plans to make a Mobile AA category for the Wildcat?

[pliant acorn]

Can you add a +200 health inapp purchase

[spiral folio]

Or of course
The SnipeX 14.5mm Alligator

[ripe hedge]

OK I'll bite, what changes would you like to see on the NTW, why it's not strong enough

[drowsy shuttle]

Range maybe?

[wide shore]

I definitely think the NTW is strong enough. That gun is annoying af

[next onyx]

Isn't the NTW more of a weapon to annoy vehicle players and apply systemic damage?

[wide shore]

OHK snipers should not be easy to use.

[next onyx]

Like how the Boys AT and Panzerbuchse handled?

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah i have the same idea

[dapper night]

Btw about the EBR

[pine roost]

I thought it’s gimmick is that it’s a one shot body shot but has a long reload and slow velocity

[spiral folio]

Make it bipod only to fire because its 60lbs
1 shot kills and higher damage to light armor
Also increase the ammo load ie let you double ammo

[errant scarab]

https://youtu.be/MYQLw2b__qA

[solar tinsel]

I really can't get behind a weapon thats a best in class. NTW is good at what it does: it blows away people in medium range, at the cost of speed and long range "sniping", plus it can ping vehicles too

[dapper night]

Guys did the patchnote include the EBR bug?

[spiral folio]

Like the fact it has 2 whole ammo types drastically limits the max ammo load

[lucid goblet]

green boi

[past flare]

how do i get to playtest the season 4 update?

[next onyx]

They tried bipod only in bf5 and that was a mechanic for MMG's and AT rifles.

EA Creator program.

[remote kiln]

you cannot

[solar tinsel]

you cant, just wait until the 28th lol

[pliant acorn]

Some people might be colorblind so that's offensive

[past flare]

inv only?

[spiral folio]

If you could have 2 of the same ammo type youd at least have another 12 shots

[solar tinsel]

yup, come and gone

[next onyx]

Yeah. We'll get it in due time though don't need to worry.

[dapper night]

Apparently the last update lets you two shot any enemies using the EBR, is it normal?

[past flare]

when do they usually do it

[silk surge]

We all get to playtest it soon

[remote kiln]

yes with the suppressor it can 2 shot

[spiral folio]

Otherwise the ntw is a "long range " rifle with awful drop and 37 entire bullets.

[stiff pollen]

LIS NEEEEERF

[wide shore]

One shot to the head at certain ranges too

[solar tinsel]

Imma keep this real, if you don't have an active partnership with EA/DICE right now at a content creator level, you won't be getting one ha

[dapper night]

Shouldn’t be a bug?

[pine roost]

It’s mostly for content creators, otherwise they’ll do it through the rA playtesting scheme

[wide shore]

It’s balanced enough. The EBR velocity is slow as hell and drops like a MF

[next onyx]

It's not a bug. The OHK to the head / 2HK damage model is its original bf3 damage model.

[pliant acorn]

Buff it

[remote kiln]

it's due to the headshot multiplier mainly, isn't a bug

[past flare]

i assumed it was open since a lot of people were in the lobby

[next onyx]

They swapped it around most likely to test it.

[drowsy shuttle]

I have to admit, when i was T1 the NTW months ago, i used only on infantry. Didnt shoot a single vehicle

[wide shore]

Nah. It’s good where it is.

Especially when you consider it’s OHK potential

[spiral folio]

The ntws craptastic damage would be tolerable if it was .50cal but then its ammo capacity wouldnt

[dapper night]

Yea but doesn’t the suppressor decreases the damage?

[next onyx]

And most likely due to community response they may just make it a straight 3-3 HK.

[solar tinsel]

They run it as an event I think, and it gets filled with content creators, DICE employees, etc.

this way all of the content creators can play some matches and get footage

[next onyx]

Bf3 suppressors actually reduce the damage range and velocity of the gun to poultry levels.

[remote kiln]

suppressor doesn't decrease damage, it increases the damage falloff at distance

[pliant acorn]

Whats OHK

[wide shore]

Before the last update it actually bugged damage.

[next onyx]

2042 6ku suppressor reduces the damage of the gun by 2 points.

[dapper night]

That’s what I meant

[wide shore]

One hit kill

[pliant acorn]

Oh

[next onyx]

Oi Carpo gimme a picture of a green RM277.

I need see that beauty.

[lucid goblet]

it's inv only for content creators,creator network folks and press.

[next onyx]

Please I need to see that NGSW in green.

Or whatever skin is there for it.

[low timber]

Way, the jammer also scrambled the enemy minimap!

[next onyx]

So it's an actual jammer.

[dapper night]

Speaking of S4, the new LMG seems to have a high damage

[next onyx]

High damage range or high damage damage?

[ripe hedge]

And some sneaky devs

[next onyx]

Sus devs.

[dapper night]

Finally a contender to Avancy LMG

[low timber]

Yes!
Just hope there’s more detail as well that it blocks the radio announcer as well

[errant scarab]

Hire embark studio to make the new battlefield

[solar tinsel]

Im looking forward to this. Plus, new scope for it!

[wide shore]

Slow ROF high damage LMGs are my bread and butter

Can’t wait

[pliant acorn]

Snipers need buff

[next onyx]

Is it a 3hk or a 4hk?

[solar tinsel]

Kind of a cool emphasis on scope toggles here too, with the new flip scope for the LMG and built in canteds for the new AR

[next onyx]

The RPL.

[lucid goblet]

Was lucky Drunkzz wasn't there this time 😂😂

[low timber]

Now I just need a new gadget that fits between BF4’s DS-3 and BF2142’s DS-22 gap

[wide shore]

Snipers do not need a buff.

[dapper night]

4 shots iirc

[pliant acorn]

Why

[next onyx]

Long 4hk range.

Ok.

[wide shore]

What would you buff about them?

[royal swan]

Nice they nerfed lis

[pliant acorn]

One shot to body

[pine roost]

I wanna watch Drunkzz playing live

[drowsy shuttle]

Iirc on the video about the changes they said it has high speed velocity

[royal swan]

Like a big nerf

[pliant acorn]

Increased velocity

[stiff pollen]

LIS NEEEEERF

[wide shore]

Absolutely fucking not.

[stiff pollen]

[pliant acorn]

Why

[stiff pollen]

WE TAKE THOSE

[royal swan]

Like they undid the buff

[solar tinsel]

because then it would be the best weapon in the game and nobody would play anything else haha

[wide shore]

The NTW is bad enough. One shot body snipers should never exist in BF

[stiff pollen]

WE TAKE THOSE

[next onyx]

Yeah no there's a reason why they removed the close ranged OHK potential of the rifles.

[pliant acorn]

Yes they should

[spiral folio]

The next lis buff will be 1000m range

[pliant acorn]

Then buff the M5A3

[spiral folio]

Then theyll take it down to 500m

[pine roost]

Just aim up a bit

[solar tinsel]

whats wrong with the M5A3 lol

[low timber]

Alex S5 Desert Eagle?

[wide shore]

Just play Hardcore if you want that

[drowsy shuttle]

I kinda agree.. but distance isnt great so.. it kinda balances it out...

[next onyx]

M5 does not need a buff that gun is a straight A ranked gun.

[royal swan]

Yep

[stiff pollen]

M5 Recoilless

The RPG

[spiral folio]

A NTW obrez

[next onyx]

Probably A+ the m5a3 due to how it works.

[wide shore]

Very few things in this game should one hit kill.

[pliant acorn]

It should have less recoil more damage
More bullet velocity
Increased reload speed
Faster rof

[next onyx]

Obrez worked as a high risk high reward gun.

[stiff pollen]

The only things that should one shot kill are things in MY hands

[pine roost]

Less recoil?

[next onyx]

The m5a3 doesn't have recoil.

[pliant acorn]

Says who

[pine roost]

It has such a low recoil it practically moves downwards

[stiff pollen]

Says MNK

[next onyx]

And you can buff its fire rate with the short barrel.

[wide shore]

A sniper headshot, sure. Shotguns at point blank. Sure. Maybe a rocket to the body, okay. Anything else? No.

[next onyx]

I can control it on console easily.

[ripe hedge]

Should it also prepare you breakfast?

[drowsy shuttle]

M5 is a laser beam and doesnt need a buff.

[next onyx]

Or more specifically. Controller.

[pliant acorn]

I would hope so

[wide shore]

[next onyx]

I can literally start an AI match, Mag dump with a controller and show the results.

[pliant acorn]

Ok

Do it

I wanna see

[wide shore]

The M5A3 has very little recoil. Put CC ammo on it and it is just a laser beam

I have always played on console. That’s just how it is

[pine roost]

Every gun in the game lacks any meaningful recoil

[wide shore]

Except the PKP

[pine roost]

And that’s just objective fact

[next onyx]

Ever since the recoil bug was fixed recoil is easy to control.

[wide shore]

That MF climbs like nuts

[pliant acorn]

Increase avancy recoil

[next onyx]

But that's because we got used to the heightened recoil.

[pine roost]

Most of it is horizontal, even then the vertical is fairly easy to control

[wide shore]

Tbf I haven’t used it in months.

[next onyx]

I don't like the PKP.

and I rather wouldn't use it again.

[drowsy shuttle]

Id say most weapons dont have recoil enough to be a problem...i actually would like them to increase recoil in most weapons.. they are too easy to control.. dont even need attachments to help control the recoil.

[wide shore]

I liked it a lot at launch. Then they buffed the shit out of it. Then nerfed it. I haven’t used it since it got nerfed.

[spiral folio]

The way the ntw works is like
"Mom I want the M95"
"We have a m95 at home"
-M95 at home: [ntw.bmp]

[pliant acorn]

I can't control recoil on controller

[lucid goblet]

posted some pics in #screenshots-and-clips if folks want to check out the map abit.

[pine roost]

We know why they made it this why though, due to the engagement ranges and all. I can’t see them making these changes unfortunately

[pliant acorn]

I want 2042 on my PC but I can't play with my friends who are on console

[wide shore]

Sounds like a… skill issue.

[spiral folio]

If they just added the m95 how it is in portal id be a happy camper

[pine roost]

Well you can

[spiral folio]

And camp happily

[low timber]

When S4 starts no one will be able to see anything from the minimap because everyone will be trying out the new specialist

[pine roost]

Crossplay exists and is incentivised

[wide shore]

Unless their friends are on last Gen

[pine roost]

True

[solar tinsel]

as long as your friends have PS5 or Xbox Series X/S, you can

[drowsy shuttle]

Sucks to be you. Im joking, yeah i understand might be harder on console...

[next onyx]

LOL I'm overcompensating so much.

The recoil.

Wtf.

[arctic grove]

Yea tbh recoil is way easier on pc it seems

Too easy….

[pliant acorn]

One has an X/S

[pine roost]

I wish I had my pc nearby

[wide shore]

Recoil control really isn’t hard. But I guess I’ve always played FPS games on console. So perhaps I’m just used to it.

[pliant acorn]

Other just has and xbox one

[solar tinsel]

Recoil on controller is a bit harder to manage - but hell I'm still doing fine enough ha. Worst case, I just tap fire

[stiff pollen]

Controller has like 30% less recoil

Hold on I gotta appreciate the massive dub that is a lis nerf

[pine roost]

I’d imagine it would be easier to be consistent on controller seeing as you just need to find that angle where your downwards pivot counters the upwards pull

[stiff pollen]

I gotta compare her buff in 3.2 to her NERF in 4.0

[solar tinsel]

I actually did its....

[pliant acorn]

Wait before I buy 2042 on PC is it demanding

[wide shore]

Ima go read the notes

[stiff pollen]

Yes

[next onyx]

It is demanding yeah.

[stiff pollen]

The game demands your patience every time you boot it

[solar tinsel]

dang I apparently deleted it but its something like

450 -> 600 -> 475 for range

[pine roost]

Meanwhile pc needs to deal with arm and wrist friction, tension in the muscles, over correcting and being forced to reread alongside a lack of general smoothness

[next onyx]

Windows clipper a little bad on the frames.

[solar tinsel]

and 100 -> 185 -> 110 for boost speed

so: it's better than 3.2, but worse than 3.2

closer to original values more than anything

[stiff pollen]

So she actually just got a slight buff like all the other rocket launchers did

[solar tinsel]

oh

[pine roost]

As I said, so little recoil it goes down

[solar tinsel]

nbm

[stiff pollen]

No, in complete

[solar tinsel]

I ee what you mean

yes

correct

[stiff pollen]

[next onyx]

Dude I actually have to remind myself not to push it up too much.

[pliant acorn]

I looked up if I can run it and I got a solid 73fps

[next onyx]

Again I play on invert Y so you know. "Don't over do it don't over do it"

[royal swan]

It goes down.
no it don't go down

[pliant acorn]

What is wrong with you

[royal swan]

[pine roost]

Invert y shouldn’t make a different really seeing as it’s your default

[next onyx]

Yeah but I need to keep on mind "Don't push it too far don't push it too far"

[solar tinsel]

thats my issue too on controller, is making those precise adjustments are a bit harder with a stick I find

[pine roost]

Well anyone needs to think that

[next onyx]

That's the only time I've had to think about invert.

[royal swan]

On nice assault can have two medpens

[next onyx]

If I try to write with invert Y my muscle memory goes.

Cause that requires me to think out the letter properly.

[royal swan]

They have one by default but they can get a second one

[next onyx]

It gets me 100 kill games.

[solar tinsel]

yup, curious to see what impact that has - it could be wild, could be a non issue

[royal swan]

It's a non issue as we had medpens at two on default

[pliant acorn]

I get 20

[solar tinsel]

true but they were also much slower originally

[stiff pollen]

I will do a 100 kill game if I force myself to sweat whereas I enjoy lazily getting top score in a RAM

[royal swan]

WE GOT A PLAY TEST

[stiff pollen]

Sipping me Yorkshire while I one shot infy with a howitzer

[stiff pollen]

?

[next onyx]

I don't mean to hit high kill games personally.

I just enjoy the killing.

[stiff pollen]

[next onyx]

But I don't keep track on how many I have gotten.

Look I've grown up on doom.

[stiff pollen]

Way where are the bodies hidden

[pliant acorn]

Who doesnt

[next onyx]

In your basement.

[stiff pollen]

Way, where are the bodies

[royal swan]

Season 4 gameplay

[next onyx]

IN YOUR BASEMENT.

[stiff pollen]

Ah

[next onyx]

Evidence implicating YOU.

I don't like spoiling it for my self but I noticed the new LMG has a C clamp.

Alex please re add the C Clamp for the AK we all need it.

Anyways to go to sleep to do my studies tomorrow.

[pliant acorn]

Bye bye way

[royal swan]

The smg looks really powerful

Maybe better than the k30 and pp

[solar tinsel]

seems to be hipfire focused right? thats fun. Probably the best one for that role before was the MP9

[royal swan]

Eh, looking at the content creators gameplay it has range

[next onyx]

Gonna be fun to use but it's HS multiplier will be what brings it down.

[solar tinsel]

interesting the disconnect between the gameplay and the description then. Then again, I've also embarassed people with the MP9 on semi before for like a 8HK or something at medium ranges so I suppose they all can technically do it

[upbeat gust]

bf2042 appears to be going like bf4 was

shit at start but getting better

[solar tinsel]

honestly thats like most Battlefields ha

[upbeat gust]

fr

i think only bf1 didnt have that problem

i'm talking about modern battlefields of course

[wide shore]

Interesting notes. Assaults will be able to carry two med pens is interesting

[solar tinsel]

I was saying the other night how honestly DICE should have a 5 year plan for a single BF game and just do that, because by year 1.5 they start getting really good

and it feels silly to sometimes throw out support for a game that has started to pickup in its prime. Assumedly, support for 2042 will drop once the next game is ready to be shown

Fingers crossed, thats good at launch, but if not, the "1.5 year cycle" begins anew 😆

Here's a question

Was it always intended for "auto throw grenade" to auto throw ALL of your grenades if you have more than 1?

Because ever since the controller remap, I turned auto throw on (cause it makes sense now), but it does NOT behave like previous games

[stiff pollen]

That’s every dice game

[royal swan]

OH NOOO Temporarl leaked that there will be a anime bundle. OH NOOOOOO

[limpid pond]

https://youtube.com/shorts/2AGOP7pLqu0?feature=share

Perfect representation of stuff they should add to bf

[low timber]

Almost thought that the MCS-880 could be an alright shotgun, and then two point blank shots didn’t kill an enemy who then kills me.

[next onyx]

Nothing more tilting than that.

The super shorty pumps pretty quick.

[ancient peak]

You’ll one shot someone then when you don’t expect to

[solar tinsel]

yeah, dont use shotguns often but the S22 has been my goto pick for those since it came out

[low timber]

The MCS-880 could be alright if it wasn’t just so slow.

[solar tinsel]

because that can 2-3 shot kill in like half the time of the 880

[low timber]

BF3 870MCS 125rpm
BF4 870MCS 92rpm
BF2042 MCS-880 73.17rpm

[next onyx]

Bolt action levels.

[solar tinsel]

thats interesting

especially considering how large the 2042 maps are, you'd expect them not to go down in RoF for a CQB limited weapon

[ebon pilot]

MCS-880 was pretty good back when the spread wasn't 90 degrees

[low timber]

Well that MCS-880 rpm is from Sym.gg which is still in v2.2

[ebon pilot]

RPM is fine if the spread isn't horrible like it is today

the spread should be smaller to counter the fact that the RPM is awful

like vid related

but not exactly vid related

[next gulch]

sorry lis, but new gadget looks too much fun and you got nerfed, back to Sundance

[ebon pilot]

vid related is busted

[solar tinsel]

now the real question I have is will Lis' pick rate still be skewed among other engineers, because that will determine I think if Boris/Crawford get additional buffs one day or not

will be interesting to see

[next gulch]

idk depends on bad her rocket is now

[solar tinsel]

better than pre-3.2, but much closer to it

[next gulch]

DICE just made it seems like you can't do another run if you miss

[solar tinsel]

you CAN currently

the whole point is to not be able to anymore

and going back to nearly pre-3.2 values should hopefully achieve that

[next gulch]

It's not that big of a deal since doing another run is even harder, at least on heli's

[solar tinsel]

harder, but happened all the time where it just became annoying to fly as helis. You spent 50% of your time dancing around rockets 😆 because each rocket was good for 2 passes

[next gulch]

but the range nerf might be bad, you'll have to boost to hit anything far out now

[solar tinsel]

I don't think boost changes range

[pine roost]

It doesn’t

[next gulch]

pretty sure it does now, you can go much further if you boost at least that's what it seems like

[solar tinsel]

you just hit the max range faster

if anything, it means less time for folks to fly away which is probably what you're percieving

[next gulch]

it's deceptive then

[proper vapor]

Last night i dodged 3 missiles doing a barrel roll in a heli

Felt badass

[pine roost]

It should be designed as a way to make corrections during flight if your initial shot missed rather than allowing for 3-4 re attempts when you miss beforehand

[next gulch]

I think Lis will still be the Eng to run with, especially when everyone plays new specialist JAV will be worthless

[solar tinsel]

I think so too, so I wouldnt be surprised to see Boris and Crawford get some love

I can see making Crawfords turret much more defensible - cover the slots in the front so you actually need to flank to take him out, or hit him with explosives

[next gulch]

they really messed up with Lis, like they can buff Crawford turret as much as they want, but it's still a giant SHOOT ME sign

and Boris, you know

[pine roost]

I play the Gustav the most. But the Gustav requires your first shot to be on point, even so it only one shots one more aircraft than lis does, while lis again is in completely safety and can circle around with ease

[next gulch]

maybe if boris's sentry started beaming people across the map

[solar tinsel]

yeah I can see small damage buffs to vehicles for Boris and Crawford, but Crawford definitely has a survivability problem

so just increased fortification in the front might help solve that

[night vessel]

this is gonna be fun

[solar tinsel]

when hes in the Vulcan he can't move, so it should become a hardpoint. Maybe if you add protection in the front, put a small cooldown on pickup and redeploy so he cant spam new cover every 3 seconds

[shell ermine]

Ugh, linear maps.

At least its not sector conquest

[solar tinsel]

Honestly 2042 didn't have enough to begin with. Plus I imagine thats easier to translate for Breakthrough

[frigid spindle]

OSD wasnt the problem but i fixed it

[granite island]

Thank you dice for not making a sector have 2 objectives on flashpoint

That was my main problem with spearhead

Mainly the cubes

Really the map is actually balanced

Both sides get 2 objectives

And the 3 objectives in the middle are to fight over

[silk surge]

Really worried about AC9. It appears to be a pre-nerf K30 on steroids

https://youtu.be/-L8655RICFE?t=182

[pine roost]

Well of course it is

I’m probably not going to watch any gameplay in all honesty

[balmy cloud]

Hey, anyone know how to get rid of this terrible DOF when adsing?

on PC

[pine roost]

I actually can’t remember

I’d disable dof by default but I can’t even remember if it disables the weapon dof

[balmy cloud]

It does not

[next onyx]

I only saw a tiny section of the shotgun and launcher but that's about it.

[low timber]

Great, was doing some vehicle testing and restarted the map but I still got the vehicle cooldown from last round

[solid imp]

What was the issue? You've got me curious now

[silk surge]

The new S4 background makes no sense... Why would you be shipped to Flashpoint... from Flashpoint??

[pine roost]

I’ve got a sneaky suspicion then it can’t be turned off

[next onyx]

We were in nordvik in the same vain as this one.

RU occupies the facility.

U.S is on attack.

[silk surge]

While the current one is a bit generic, it's a lot more logical that the specialists would start inside the Exodus ship and then get shipped to one of the maps... But now they'll be standing at the center of the new map which is completely non-sensical...

And why is there a CAV behind her?? Is that getting shipped to the same map as well??

[pine roost]

It also doesn’t make sense how a Russian hind or an America condor can land on the exodus to ship troops. I don’t think much of it

[solar tinsel]

I mean every season has had that ha

[solar tinsel]

and yes it doesnt make sense if you do ha. Ships are coming to the exodus, to take them off to a war to, fight themselves. Best not to think about it 😆

"Hey Rao hows it going, oh yeah hear you got drafted to RU today, damn man I'm US sorry looks like we gonna be killin each other have a good one GLHF"

[pliant acorn]

Weren't you going to sleep

[silk surge]

In my head cannon, Exodus has one heli pad for Russia and another one for US and Exodus is just a mercenary dispenser.

Both sides are like "wait hang on, we have to get ourselves some no-pats"

[solar tinsel]

I know for readability this wouldn't work, but it'd actually make sense to make it where your team is always the "No Pats" and the enemy team is always, someone else (Wolf/US/RU whatever) and then the other team's models are more generic. Like I said, hurts specialist readability

but that would have made the most sense story wise

really, nothing makes sense, the premise is "Go play Battlefield and have fun"

[granite island]

The new grenade launcher will now be the funny weapon

[solar tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/dave-chappelle-need-gif-21451408

got any of them NO PATS?

[silk surge]

You're right, would make a lot more sense if the US were hiring notepads from WOLFF and Russia were hiring them from Exodus.

[solar tinsel]

yeah something like that

[granite island]

Us and Russia got the notepads from the notepad production facility

[royal swan]

Ain't that a cod skin

That you can already buy

[pliant acorn]

What is a no-pat

[royal swan]

Non patriot

[silk surge]

Especially considering the fact that Russia is friendly towards Oz and it's heavily hinted that Exodus will ally themselves with Oz as Wolf betrayed them at Lapland.

[solar obsidian]

[solar tinsel]

It's best not bothering to learn lol

All I know is that millions of them will die in the crossfire, and most of them are clones of the same person.

[solar tinsel]

I mean if you really want to know: https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/the-world-of-battlefield-2042/how-we-got-here

[hardy crest]

where is the giveaway channel ?

[silk surge]

MILLIONS of Mackays dressed in different ways will DIE

[solar tinsel]

Essentially US and RU are countries that remain, everyone from other countries (and some from those) got lost in translation and are deemed Non Patriated. Hence, the "premise" of how and why the same people are fighting for US and day and RU for another, but it doesnt make much sense ha

[silk surge]

Hobo Mackay will die, Cowboy Mackay will die, Crysis Mackay will 100% die.

[pliant acorn]

So the operators or wtv

[solar tinsel]

essentially

[pliant acorn]

Alr

[arctic grove]

China when

Iran when

[solar tinsel]

as settings?

[night vessel]

Well RIP new IFV driver has no control over the top gun

[arctic grove]

yes

[frigid spindle]

i really dont know but i tried what i tried before just to give it another shot but i didnt do it in the same order

[solar tinsel]

If the S5 map uses Golmud's setting, thats China

[night vessel]

legit runied the vehicle it self :/

[arctic grove]

wait, is golmud china or russia

[silk surge]

HOLY SHIT!! They're adding a pre-game squad screen where you can customize your loadout before the game starts

[solar tinsel]

China I believe

[silk surge]

Similar to BFV

[solar tinsel]

haha talk about burying the lede in the patch notes

[arctic grove]

oh yeah it is

China is the defending side for that map

[solar tinsel]

I always thought it was honestly silly to show the specilasts at that point though, because you didnt know what you were going to do until the map loaded

like: you see your 4 people and then go "none of us are going to be this"

if they're going to show them, show it after selections are locked IMO - but this is at least better

[silk surge]

Ikr. This will be HUGE when it comes to pre-planning with your squad on which classes they'll pick before the game starts.

[solar tinsel]

less needing to rush to try to get everythign done before the 45 seconds

thats exciting news thanks for sharing!

Now: if only I can set per-map cosmetic choices 😆

[solar obsidian]

that tech never comes

been wished for since bf4

[solar tinsel]

and I really dont know why haha

BF4 at least had adaptive camo which is cool and close

but still

[spiral folio]

Bout time

[solar tinsel]

Just give me a grid and let me assign cosmetics for each map, and then a "Default" for unassigned maps

thats the dream

that said, at least by being able to change loadout earlier, hopefully you can start that cosmeitcs process too earlier

[spiral folio]

Yea automatic season/environment appropriate camo would be nice

So youre not wearing a fluffy green bush in Antarctica

[solar tinsel]

yeah even if its not per-map, per-environment would be cool to. That said, I imagine it'd be easier to just do per map

plus it'd let folks show off more of their PAID cosmetics? you hearing me EA?

do it for the money EA

[balmy cloud]

Compared to the last time i played 2042, the optimization seems better

[spiral folio]

Or stark white in manifest or stranded or discarded or kaleidoscope or....

[solar tinsel]

the game has gotten better generally over time. Slow and steady

optimization included it seems

[spiral folio]

That white camo will be great when theres a map inside an apple store

[solar tinsel]

red/green camo for apple orchards

Operation Honeycrisp

[spiral folio]

Every surface covered in multi color hexagons

[balmy cloud]

Yeah its good to see

[solar tinsel]

speaking of: how the hell has Battlefield 2042 not gotten an "Operation" map name yet, its almost blasphemy

[balmy cloud]

although i wish it was like this at launch

[solar tinsel]

yeah dont we all ha

[arctic grove]

still not good enough

[balmy cloud]

I didnt buy it just because of optimization on launch

[arctic grove]

it needs MORE

[spiral folio]

I think operation is implied

[solar tinsel]

you know... I never really thought of it like that haha

[spiral folio]

Otherwise every map would be like "Operation hourglass"

[solar tinsel]

I mean I feel like that hasnt stopped Battlefield before 😆

but its a good point

also notably absent, two word map names

[balmy cloud]

Oh interesting, thats really weird

im hitting 100% cpu usage playing bf2042

[spiral folio]

Buckaneer Bay to return?

[balmy cloud]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/77710284621357056/1078739166734602331/image.png oh ok

[glossy storm]

Anyone seen the E1 destruction thing they were talking about in the development update?

The new map, Flashpoint.

I've seen 2 preview videos so far and none of them show it unfortunately.

[fervent rose]

so the slipping animation isnt mentioned at all in the notes. Is that still broken even without jumping/parachuting in 4.0

[copper ice]

It has a fucking shotgun? oh boy

[spiral folio]

Buckaneer bay could be remade with like a nuclear sub run aground with the battle on some fishing village island or something

[rocky kraken]

Lis nerd

[rocky kraken]

Nope I guess we will see if they were exaggerating

[spiral folio]

If they added a dedicated sniper id use that

[night vessel]

whats the point if the driver has no control of the main gun

the vehicle is just another copy of the MAV

[spiral folio]

Yea but the jawa crawler is ugly

[fervent rose]

faster paced MAV, but the driver gets no gun

[spiral folio]

And bad

Why can you drive/gun with a tank but not the havoc 8 wheel

[fervent rose]

another boring addition to the battlefield like the mav

[spiral folio]

Nah the mav was stupid

The patria/havoc is real

[next gulch]

what do you mean, you saying it's not fun to drive around a giant shoot me sign while having everyone else get kills?

always been the case of transport drivers

[spiral folio]

Imagine the riots if tankers couldnt drive and shoot at the same time

[night vessel]

what the community wanted from the new IFV
Instead we get a squad based alt version of the MAV that can do more damage and do counter vehicle combat :/

[fervent rose]

there are games where it is fun as fuck to be the driver. like pubg

but the physics of 2042, nah

[spiral folio]

I dont think thats the same vehicle but close enough

[next gulch]

It's more rewarding to be a transport heli pilot

[copper ice]

it's in the same slot as the mav isn't it?

[fervent rose]

yea

[next gulch]

a good one, especially now will dominate a game

[fervent rose]

for sure. i'll actually fly the hind but you wont see me in a MAV very often

[spiral folio]

Maybe they figure the 8wheel is too fast.

But RAM exists

[copper ice]

it gets a grenade button, that already makes it better than the mav

[fervent rose]

maybe. they might and should remove MAV on some maps and setups

like rush

[copper ice]

you get APS button and shit grenades button

[night vessel]

not same but same idea on what IFV we wanted as a community instead we get a squad based vehicle like the MAV :/

[next gulch]

new transport will def flip on it's side if you run over a small rock, it has that look to it

[errant scarab]

when destruction rework

[copper ice]

if they made a mav replacement with a driver controlled gun no one would ever pick mav again

[remote kiln]

when Reddit sees a lis nerf

[night vessel]

see the MAV is a team based vehicle

the new IFV is a squad based vehicle

[copper ice]

none of these are incorrect

[copper ice]

squads are borderline meaningless in 2042 with how they're currently set up

[fervent rose]

the last point about transport helis is halfway right

but they are still whining about lis nerf

[next gulch]

and there's the bolte which I don't know what the purpose of that is other than its fun to run over people with it

[fervent rose]

idiots
