battlefield-2042

[brittle atlas]

Not just one either, hit it like 3 times, more if the pilot presses a button that repairs a rocket's worth of damage

[copper ice]

Right now the only consistent counter to transport helis is the TOR

[brittle atlas]

I guess they are just busted then

[arctic grove]

Gotta hit it with 4 all at once

Good cordnation

[copper ice]

which is ridiculous, because you shouldn't be picking a tank for anti-air purposes lol

[arctic grove]

Anti-vehicle means every vehicle with that tank

[brittle atlas]

AA tanks, sure, but the Wildcat feels like it does nothing unless the heli flies right above

[hexed reef]

is there a portal experience that has just choppers and jets ? I wanna learn how to fly and circle an area without being shot at

[arctic grove]

🤨

[copper ice]

Transport heli has tank levels of health, instarepair button, flares, and can have passengers repairing it in the seats

They only die if they fuck up

[pine roost]

wildcat has no damage drop off over range and it's spread encompasses the entire heli so it would work fine

[brittle atlas]

Last time I've tried using the wildcat with the AA cannons, the heli could just duck into cover and my gun would overheat before I even did 50 damage

But admittedly that was a while back

[copper ice]

Wildcat doesn't confirm kills on heli, it just makes it have to retreat

Which is still good

[pine roost]

yeah the widlcat has had some pretty drastic changes recently

[copper ice]

But comes with the downside of the 30mm on wildcat being ass against everything other than aircraft

[brittle atlas]

Yep

tfw 30mm cannon deals less damage per shot than a 9mm pistol

[copper ice]

8hk 30mm cannon on infantry

[pine roost]

even then you can put other weapons on it, completely butchering it being a dedicated AA

[copper ice]

A wildcat with anything other than 30mm is just a worse RAM

They've got wonky balance

[pine roost]

everything has

[copper ice]

It also sucks, because most people will immediately put the 40mm on the wildcat as soon as they unlock it so they can actually hurt infantry

Which means its now shit against aircraft

and thr 40mm is STILL not good

There's little winning in this

[upbeat sand]

Inside battlefield ep 6 is out

[arctic grove]

What’s it abt

[upbeat sand]

S4

[upbeat sand]

Common cookie of the week W

[pine roost]

Definitely giving that a listen when I get home

I want to hear what they have to say about the CAV

[copper ice]

Best advice I have for transport helis is soflam/track darting them constantly;
it doesn't actually do anything because flares, but it makes them pop flares immediately and usually gets them to fuck off faster

[pine roost]

as well as jets of course

[cosmic storm]

Yeah no, you can quickly kill any flying thing with the wildcat if you are not to far away

[copper ice]

do you see the issue with "not too far away" and helis having more mobility than anything else in the game

[pine roost]

well the turret now turns fast enough to deal with that

[arctic grove]

They’re still easy to take down

[pine roost]

the flight ceiling has been reduced

[cosmic storm]

No, the not too far away is like 2 km

[upbeat sand]

I like how they call Alex the Weapons overlord

[arctic grove]

Plus wildcat got good sensitivity

And can aim vertical if I’m correct

[copper ice]

transport helis can do flybys to dump a full squad on top of an objective with a wildcat and make it out above 30 health easy

[pine roost]

not exactly vertical

[next onyx]

Oh that's right there's a podcast today.

[arctic grove]

Nah I def killed transports that did that

[brittle atlas]

So then Breakthrough where Def doesn't get a wildcat but attack gets transport helis is fucked

[copper ice]

The gun reaches overheat danger pretty quick, you have to stop firing at least twice and that gives it plenty of time to fuck off

[arctic grove]

Hit it wit da tank lol

[brittle atlas]

And do 27 damage for hitting a mobile heli with a slow tank shell

[arctic grove]

It does around 50-45 percent of health on it

[copper ice]

essentially yes, but clearly the biggest issue was STRONG LIS so they had to put all their balance energy into that and not anything else

[cosmic storm]

You litteraly do 80% if you are not lucky

[arctic grove]

Exactly

[brittle atlas]

Speaking of, why the fuck can attacker transport helis on Spearhead go behind the last spawn of defenders, the back building even on the first sector

[next onyx]

Oh shit, Alex is in the podcast. It's our boy!

[copper ice]

yes just shoot the transport heli with tanks this is clearly the intended method of taking out aircraft

[next onyx]

Yeah lemings that's a good point.

[arctic grove]

Cuz it’s a flying vehicle

[upbeat sand]

Under level 11 players are gonna unlock Discover game modes where they'll be matchmaker with other low levels and bots

[next onyx]

If they're going to bring transport-craft in they should give us a vehicle to counter them.

[brittle atlas]

But defenders can't push out more than 2 meters beyond the front-most border of the objectives because they are supposed to be defending

[arctic grove]

Oh interesting

[copper ice]

those helis can squat on top of those cubes all day, they're a bloody nightmare

[arctic grove]

Idk how it’s a nightmare

No one can even make it back to the sector without dying to out of bounds

[brittle atlas]

A dedicated AA tank would be nice, or split flares and ECM like in BF4

[arctic grove]

Well maybe Sundance

[copper ice]

how is a mobile spawn point equipped with a 40mm nade launcher that is constantly flanking you not an issue

[arctic grove]

Bc on spearhead barely anyone is on spawn

[copper ice]

there's little cover from that 40mm on many maps

[arctic grove]

If anything everyone is where the objectives are

[cosmic storm]

3 possibilities to why you think heli are op :
1- the pilot is good
2- your squad is not coordinated enough to take out the threat
3- both

[copper ice]

4- flares exist

[brittle atlas]

So the attacker's helis can just duck behind buildings not even Defenders can go to, dodging AA fire

[copper ice]

5- tank levels of health

[arctic grove]

How are teammates gonna get to the sector tho

It’s too far away

[brittle atlas]

Like how in the 3rd section they can just fly on the top of C1 and defenders can't reach it with anything but Lis rockets because there isn't actually a way to defend up there

[pine roost]

the fact they can fly behind your spawn is just crazy

[copper ice]

it normally stays on top of c1 during the second section and blows the shit out of the defenders from behind

[brittle atlas]

Fly past back-line of defenders, drop attackers, duck behind buildings until flares are back up, repeat until victory

[arctic grove]

Yeaaaaa that shit usually doesn’t work

Gets shot down most of the time

or doesn’t bc no one pays attention 💀

[pine roost]

I quite fancy playing some wildcat tonight actually

[copper ice]

even if people paid attention what can they do

[pine roost]

now that it actually feels somewhat nice to control

[arctic grove]

Use rockets

Hack

Etc

[copper ice]

flares literally negate all locks

[cosmic storm]

Shoot a rocket maybe, or shoot the pilot why not

[copper ice]

they have a stupid long duration

[arctic grove]

Yk u can just use dumb fire right ?

[brittle atlas]

We had 15 engineers on a Spearhead round today. Constantly darted.
Dude flew past A, 3-4 people dropped, flew behind C1 building until flares are up
come back, drop some people, fly back again. Repeat until we are actually at C1

[arctic grove]

I prefer dumb fire over locks

[pine roost]

the gustav has a super fast speed now, it's even easier to land shots on them

[cosmic storm]

Avoiding 1 rocket is easy, avoiding 3 is a little bit more tricky

[copper ice]

Any vaguely decent pilot is not going to die to 5 m5 shots because they can fly, man

[arctic grove]

That’s cap

[pine roost]

just outskill them and learn to use the gustav

[brittle atlas]

We got 1-2 AA in sometimes but they just hover out of bounds until they are repaired because that's a thing

[arctic grove]

Anyone with good tracking on the m5 will win the fight

[sour steeple]

LEaRn To USe GuSTav

[copper ice]

[sour steeple]

We all know how broken Transports are bruh

[next onyx]

The biggest issue about the flying transports is that they have too much health.

[pine roost]

I don't disagree with them being broken

[next onyx]

One Carl gustav rocket should at least do 50%.

I don't think they're super broken either but they're unhealthy.

[sour steeple]

They are Transports. Simply remove main gun and they will play their role perfectly. Rn they are even a better pick than those squishy attack choppers/nightbirds

[sour steeple]

True

[next onyx]

Their main gun may be pushing it but I'd be willing to remove one part of it at a time.

[cosmic storm]

They are strong and I like the fact that they are, because it help people to actually pick transport heli for once

[brittle atlas]

There are plenty of ways to deal with it, like less health, split flares into ECM and flares, lower mobility, no mid-air repairs, but gotta nerf Lis instead because

[next onyx]

Lower the health, IF the main gun is still a problem then get rid of it.

[sour steeple]

Either making it 2shot towards Gustav. Or no more maingun

[brittle atlas]

For a flying MBT those things sure as hell maneuver way too quickly

[sour steeple]

Rn farming with this heli is beyond easy back to back in bt. Even with constant rao, Liz spam

[pine roost]

the idea behind it is nice, a mobile spawn beacon, but it's offensive capabilities end up making it less of a transport and more of an attack

two shot with the gustav sounds like a good adjustment

[brittle atlas]

Actually making it so disabled parts do something, like hitting the engine considerably slows it down and you can't just repair it instantly with a press of a button

[cosmic storm]

Just make the hack stronger

[brittle atlas]

Wasn't it supposed to be that hack disables flares?

[copper ice]

They just flare before the hack activates

takes 2 seconds for hack to proc

[brittle atlas]

Yeah

[copper ice]

hit flare before you get hacked

8 seconds of invulnerability

[arctic grove]

Dumb fire

[copper ice]

also don't make me use rao i beg you

Even if you get lucky and actually hit the heli with an m5, it takes like.. at least 4 rockets

[brittle atlas]

Please dumb-fire the transport heli hiding out of bounds behind buildings or hills

[next onyx]

I can't understand French through the accent.

[copper ice]

And the m5 reload is 6.5 seconds long

[arctic grove]

Obv not then

But when it gets close

[copper ice]

that means a practical rof on m5 of 7 to 8 seconds minimum

the heli is not gonna wait for you to hit it 4 times when that takes over half a minute

[arctic grove]

“Teammates”

[brittle atlas]

WH

[copper ice]

if my team is a bunch of borises firing m5s into the air i think ive already lost

[arctic grove]

What u don’t got a squad u play with daily

[brittle atlas]

Yes, let me get 6 other people trying to take down a transport heli with dumb-fire rockets

Jesus fucking christ

[copper ice]

If i had a squad i played with, 1- i wouldnt be playing 2042
2- i would be farming in tanks

[arctic grove]

It’s not hard yk

[copper ice]

Yeah its not hard to hit helis with 5 dumbfire rockets

Thats why the AA launcher doesn't exist

[pine roost]

especially if said heli is doing a regular strafe to drop people off it's easy to predict it's path

[copper ice]

Fuck that shit lol just throw rocks at it in the air

[upbeat sand]

I think Alex might be into the the Rifle a bit more than he should be

[copper ice]

if its doing a regular strafe you have even less time to kill it

remember 6.5 second reload

you need 4 hits minimum, likely more with repairs

[cosmic storm]

Remind me, how much an AA do against a TH with the soflam ?

[pine roost]

worth a try anyway

[arctic grove]

How is it this hard for u to find 3 other ppl and all shoot at it at once

[pine roost]

I'd rather do some damage than none at all

[copper ice]

I have no idea because I've never hit a soflamed heli because FLARES

[patent prism]

I'm about to have my idea entirely shot down but; what about having the SOFLAM fire a laser rather than the current locking on mechanic? I.e. not be affected by flares but require the laser to actually hit the target for the entire duration?

[brittle atlas]

37 without soflam, so that's still 3 rockets after an 8-second lock immunity and 3 second lock

[arctic grove]

Yk tracker dart exists too

[copper ice]

If my teammates had brains we would not be playing 2042

[brittle atlas]

And flares completely block darts, and so does terrain

[pine roost]

at first glance that doesn't sound too bad

[arctic grove]

Ok I get it u dont like 2042 and wouldn’t play it if u had ppl with iq

[arctic grove]

Eh makes sense

[patent prism]

Thank you, I think.

[pine roost]

would require actual tracking to be effective, being able to maintain that track for the duration of the shot wouldn't be easy for most

[brittle atlas]

Feels weird that the whole point of tracer darts is that you don't need any other signatures like heat to lock, but flares still jam it

[pine roost]

although that does mean it would be able to lock onto the ground

[copper ice]

I'm bullying 2042 but it's also legitimate criticism; the average battlefield player is not very good at utilizing any of the tools given to them

[patent prism]

Yeah, that'd be part of balancing the gadget.

[patent prism]

Yes.

[sour steeple]

Dont forget the gunner. If the guy is simply decent he gonna kill Half the still standing ppl Who try to shoot the transport

[copper ice]

jesus yeah i forgot about that

[brittle atlas]

At that point it's just a 2-man SRAW

[ripe hedge]

maybe

[copper ice]

Smoke trails from m5s mean easy targets for the 40mm

[arctic grove]

That’s just lis

[sour steeple]

Most ppl say here just shoot. Yet they forget how powerful the 40mm is. Ppl are getting farmed literally.

[pine roost]

the 40mm is absuredly strong

[arctic grove]

Tru

[brittle atlas]

Not like you can hide anywhere anyways, most maps are completely open from the top

[sour steeple]

Insane reload and 2tap mostly

[hexed reef]

I find it so cheese how u can get all your good vehicle gear from solos

[pine roost]

even the 50 is a two shot with very little drop off

[brittle atlas]

At least it takes ages to reload

[upbeat sand]

[patent prism]

Valid point.

[copper ice]

This is a good thing

[sour steeple]

In Pubs u have to get lucky to get a vehicle

[pine roost]

bfv aircraft gameplay proves this

[hexed reef]

yea heli and jet selector are bugged arnt they?

[brittle atlas]

Splitting vehicles by sides made it even worse. But that's fixed now right?

[vocal tusk]

This is why I think we need a proper transport heli and the condor /Hind moved attack category as a gunship. People complain about the "transport" being too OP for offense and being the best attack heli already, so just make it one and add a proper transport heli to 2042 era.

[brittle atlas]

And remove spawning on it mid-air

If it's not transport anymore

[pine roost]

well by removing the front gun it basically turns it into a genuine transport helo

two miniguns on the side, passenger seats

[brittle atlas]

There are so many ways to fix them but they just nerf Lis instead
Why do I even bother with this game

[arctic grove]

Lis needed to be nerfed tho….

Bruh do u even play the game

[vocal tusk]

I think that would take more work than reassigning it, and they are gunships irl. Not just transports

[pine roost]

lis needed nerfing as it made vehicle gameplay as a whole miserable

[arctic grove]

Yea ones the get hella malfunctions

[brittle atlas]

And vehicles make infantry gameplay miserable. But boy am I glad they are adding another anti-infantry vehicle

[arctic grove]

I’m scared of ospreys

[vocal tusk]

I think Lis was fine before she was buffed

[arctic grove]

exactly

I’m glad there making her more of a specialist u have to get gud wit

[brittle atlas]

Shame there is no payoff because you do 27 and 21 damage per rocket

[pine roost]

lowering the turn rate is the best thing they can probably do if they don't want to change her fundementally

[arctic grove]

U literally see lis everywhere dude

[vocal tusk]

The range/fuel nerf and max speed boost will be the biggest change.

[arctic grove]

Every fucking where

[pine roost]

I look forward to seeing how it plays after this patch

[vocal tusk]

The Lis Recon missile

Lol

[brittle atlas]

Probably because the other 2 engineers do nothing against vehicles besides fire a rocket every 6 seconds that can only reliably hit slow moving tanks

[pine roost]

lis doesn't reload any faster

[arctic grove]

Exactly

[brittle atlas]

But she is more consistent and doesn't need someone else running ammo crates to get rockets back

[arctic grove]

I’ve seen multiple times

Time and time again

Of five or more lis missles into a damn vehicle

it is scary

[brittle atlas]

Good, well deserved

5 people firing rockets at a tank should take down said tank

[pine roost]

the gustav has a higher ammo reserve, the same if not faster reload times, faster rocket acceleration and speed. It's a risk / reward with a high risk and high reward. Learn it

[vocal tusk]

She has been annoying since the last patch, but it's good they changed it so fast. For the vehicle meta, it was one of the worst offending things.

[arctic grove]

“Eh dumb fire too hard”

[vocal tusk]

The M5 is also super easy to use now

[pine roost]

I'll have to fetch my clip of me using it against transports but that's on my home pc

[arctic grove]

Please do it is satisfying asf

[vocal tusk]

I think they need to nerf inside repairing on the transport helis though, cos its very strong atm.

[brittle atlas]

1 more rocket which still isn't enough to take down a tank who let a single infantry hit them 3 times. If you live for about 30 seconds you're even on the ammo reserve and can adjust trajectory for longer range targets so you don't have to be close to the vehicles that'll kill you instantly if they notice you

[restive rampart]

stronger than bf2?

[arctic grove]

Omg get teammates

Or ask ur squad

[brittle atlas]

No

[arctic grove]

[vocal tusk]

You can kill a tank with 3 from behind

[restive rampart]

3 passenger engineers in BF2 blackhawk repairing

2 gunners mowing down all infantry

jets cant take it down, aa cant take it down

(because it has friendly jets and friendly aa as well)

[brittle atlas]

The only way to solo a tank right now is C5 or 3 hits from a Javelin. Aircraft you straight up can't unless you hit a littlebird/stealth heli with Lis

[vocal tusk]

That, but with a 2 hit kill splash damage nade launcher at the same time.

I'm fine with tanks being tanky. It's difficult for them to escape a situation if they push to far or too fast.

Helis just go.... Yeet... Bye im off to repair to 100 from out of bounds

[brittle atlas]

Getting punished for overextending is good, and tanks aren't really a problem anyways

[arctic grove]

Just to get destroyed by dumb fires or lis

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, tanks are fine IMO

I barely see any using APS yet tbh

[brittle atlas]

That being said, there is no fucking need for another anti-infantry always-mobile always-available spawn point

[arctic grove]

I use it it’s really handy

[arctic grove]

Brawler is just like MAV

Not hard to take down

[vocal tusk]

Brawler is what the MAV should have been

[restive rampart]

dumb fire? lis?

[arctic grove]

Yes?

What is confusing

[brittle atlas]

Which is why we don't need yet another one while AA is one weapon on one vehicle that people will instantly swap as soon as they unlock something else so they can kill more infantry

[arctic grove]

MAV has more anti vehicle equipment

Brawler is anti infantry

[brittle atlas]

We don't need more anti-infantry when infantry is already miserable to play because every map is open as fuck and they don't have reliable tools to take out vehicles unless they overextend

[arctic grove]

Look I don’t see how ur having problems with vehicles

[hexed reef]

I turned my graphics to low and I see zero difference is this a bug????

[arctic grove]

When u see one u destroy it

[brittle atlas]

"just destroy it "

[vocal tusk]

My worry is that they add the brawler, but don't accommodate it with extra light armor slot. So it will further dilute the availability of the AA

[arctic grove]

It’s def gonna be where the MAV is

[vocal tusk]

Cos player like with the RAM will want to use the new shiny thing

[arctic grove]

Or just drive by ppl

[vocal tusk]

Is it transport or light armor?

[arctic grove]

What?

The ram?

[vocal tusk]

I thought light armor, so same slot as AA

The brawler

[brittle atlas]

Surely armored transport, with the whole spawn thing

[pine roost]

risk / reward

[arctic grove]

The brawler is transport I’m p sure

[brittle atlas]

Where reward

[arctic grove]

Cuz it’s a spawn becon like tha MAV

[vocal tusk]

Good if that's the case then!

[brittle atlas]

27 damage still won't kill anything before you run out

[arctic grove]

I’m just gonna assume u have bad teammates

[brittle atlas]

It's battlefield, this should be the first thing you assume

[pine roost]

that's true I'll give you that

[arctic grove]

Not my fault I had decent ones

[cosmic storm]

I don't know about you, but I avoid trying to 1vs1 a tank as an infantry unit

[arctic grove]

Fr

[brittle atlas]

Gee I didn't think about that, thanks

[arctic grove]

Unless u have c5

[pine roost]

or smokes

[cosmic storm]

You're welcome

[pine roost]

heck even mines are getting buffed next patch, my age old technique of smoke and mine will come back

[vocal tusk]

I'll fight a tank if I have cover that can't be destroyed. Like glaciers on Breakaway or rocks on Orbital

[brittle atlas]

Are they finally getting rid of the stupid red glow on a mechanical AT mine

[pine roost]

looks like it

[cosmic storm]

- In order to live, avoid dying

[arctic grove]

Sun tsu

[vocal tusk]

AT mines in this game are too chunky. I hope this patch makes them thinner, like past games.

Legit so easy to see them

[brittle atlas]

AT mines still won't deal with transport helis tho so

[pine roost]

without thermals they will definitely be harder to spot

[hexed reef]

Fat shaming equipment

[arctic grove]

I keep getting kills so I’m guessing ppl be blind

Also why don’t ppl shoot at them

[vocal tusk]

They can, in proximity

[arctic grove]

Like u just walked passed it

[pine roost]

it's going to be even worse when the cav comes out.
Which outlines another huge problem that needs some consideration

regarding the wildcat and aa slots >:(

[arctic grove]

Orrrr just gets taken out like the MAV

Unless the team in it are good

Also it has the cool infantry grenade on it

From bf5

[vocal tusk]

Member launch BF3 where you could place hundreds of mines!

[arctic grove]

Dear god

[next onyx]

Ok I was not expecting for Alex to mention me at all.

[vocal tusk]

Damavand peak conquest but its all mines

[pine roost]

hol on what?

[arctic grove]

Way got a shout out bby

[pine roost]

in what context?

[brittle atlas]

Oh well, I'll just play for 2 days an uninstall probably, clearly nobody in the dev team actually plays the game, or just 1 person sitting in vehicles all day so that's the only allowed playstyle

[next onyx]

He mentioned me getting shit tier 1 as soon as possible.

[arctic grove]

😂

[next onyx]

Lemme get the time stamp

[arctic grove]

Uh huh

Sure

[next onyx]

Literally. 40:00

[pine roost]

will have to listen at home, at uni and I've got no headphones

[arctic grove]

Rip

[brittle atlas]

Patch notes are perfect example of the tone-deafness, no changes that actually help infantry vs vehicles, or infantry only maps

[arctic grove]

Bruh

[pine roost]

but based on the recent trends in terms of the 3.2 update and season 4 notes, my hope is that they are turning towards infantry vehicle balance, I agree that it's easily the most confusing part of the game right now

[brittle atlas]

And no, 1 or 2 points per map that are "infantry focused" is not a solution

[pastel loom]

a preload update came up today
what timezone will it install?
don't have my ps4 on

[arctic grove]

There’s so much anti vehicle shit in the game bro

Learn

God damn

[patent prism]

Description: The SOFLAM (Special Operations Forces **Laser** Acquisition Marker) should be made into a precision laser designator that does not rely on the regular lock-on system but rather fires a laser which can be either locked on to before (LOBL) or after launch (LOAL) by the Recoilless M5. 

In LOBL mode it would work pretty much as it does already where the Recoilless M5 would lock onto the target with line-of-sight on the SOFLAM designated location/vehicle/soldier.

In LOAL mode the Recoilless M5 projectile would be able to lock on to the closest designated target within a certain angle of the front of the projectile.

This laser designation would not be disrupted by flares or smoke but require the designator to manually track the intended target to hit.

Based on: Guided Multipurpose Munition (GMM) by SAAB and Raytheon.```

[pine roost]

jet changes hype!

man's got references in his battlefield suggestion

[patent prism]

I read way too much about this shit.

[arctic grove]

U put it in the feedback channel

If not u need to def

[patent prism]

Oh shit right, that exists too.

[pine roost]

it's been closed

can't anymore

[patent prism]

Oh

[arctic grove]

Rip

[brittle atlas]

M5, Lis, AT mines, AA launcher, C5. M5 is decent against tanks but lacks ammo, Lis can hit reliably but doesn't deal enough damage with the amount of ammo you get, AT mines are limited but work well against tanks and useless against aircraft (duh), AA launcher is useless with 3s lock and 8s immunity on flare if aircraft can go way out of bounds, C5 requires you to kamikaze and it usually works, still not useful against aircraft tho

[patent prism]

Damn it!

[arctic grove]

Hobbyist

With the good ideas but missed it

[vocal tusk]

3 classes still have C5 and people still complain about not having a way to kill vehicles? 😅

[arctic grove]

Ikr

[patent prism]

I'm just going to hold on to that suggestion in case another feedback thread shows up in the future.

[pine roost]

smokes, boris and gustav serve me well

[brittle atlas]

How would it work with missile turn rate? In bf4 with the SRAW you had to aim-off to hit moving aircraft because the missile couldn't keep up with fast turning aircraft

[brittle atlas]

brb gonna C5 that transport heli

[vocal tusk]

Easy to do with Mackay

[pine roost]

since we no longer have angular damage bonusses it's damage is even more consistent. You just need to shoot without thinking too much about that angle

[visual gazelle]

Especially with how easily Mackay and Sundance can solo C5 tanks.

[vocal tusk]

Fire grapple, pull down... Throw 3 C5. Bye bye transport heli

[patent prism]

AFAIK the GMM is a RAP but still recoilless so you would still need to lead targets a bit as they can't make 90 degree turns.

It's a little tricky because the GMM is so recent that not a lot of data on it exists.

[pine roost]

realistically though all they'd need to do to implement that idea is to keep the soflam as is but just reaaally narrow down the lock on zone to require pinpoint accuracy, but have it bypass flares

[cosmic storm]

Seems hard to implement

[vocal tusk]

If soflam/dart bypassed flares... Every air vehicle would get instantly deleted

[brittle atlas]

Yeah but if it's one person lasing, the other firing the rocket from a different angle, how do you lead? Wire-guided worked because it was from the point of fire and would try to fly towards the crosshair (or straight if it's on crosshair) but lasing above a heli doesn't really give any point where the rocket should go

[brittle atlas]

Good

[pine roost]

but in this instance it would require exact tracking, where aiming the crosshair off target would lead to a miss

[brittle atlas]

There is still plenty of hard cover and out-of-bounds for aircraft to physically block locking LoS and missiles

[vocal tusk]

But that ain't gonna happen in a casual shooter. Too much for the player to do

[pine roost]

i don't play casually so idk what's considered too much

[vocal tusk]

Regardless of you playing casually or not. Battlefield is a casual FPS game.

[patent prism]

Honestly, I have no solid answer to your question, but I think that it'd be a trade-off with the LOAL mode compared to the LOBL mode. LOBL you can actually visually acquire the target and then lead based on that, whereas LOAL you suffer that uncertainty in motion.

[cosmic storm]

Wdym you don't play casually ?

[vocal tusk]

Full military gear at all times.

😁

[brittle atlas]

Lis launcher should've just been the SRAW anyways

[pastel loom]

some realism elements are forgiving
and not always make the game hard

[arctic grove]

Yea

[vocal tusk]

Lis wasn't a problem til they made it one.

[pine roost]

Well whereas most people just play to shoot guns and get kills for a few hours, I play with the intent to improve. Which i'd interpret as a more competitive mindset since you actively want to get better not just play with no real intention. Sort of a semi-competitive I guess

[arctic grove]

And dice can make some realism elements more

[pine roost]

100%

[arctic grove]

“Easy”

[brittle atlas]

That way you stop people from going around cover with the rockets while still keeping it a skillful way to hit aircraft that bypasses flares

[pine roost]

exactly that

if it was sraw like from the get go it wouldn't be this hot of a topic for almost a year at this point

[arctic grove]

Can dice even do that

[pine roost]

it would be a guided missile that is forgiving of misalignments for the first shot but doesn't have the problems of map wide coverage with no risk when using

[arctic grove]

Give her a sraw

[cosmic storm]

Huh ? Everyone want to improve ?

[low timber]

I guess I need to listen to it now then

[pastel loom]

I searched that planes usually don't explode when they crash

[pine roost]

From my experience, many players are against people who actively seek improvement. Turn to reddit and twitter and you'll see comments like that in the dozens

[brittle atlas]

Sure, it's still a launcher, and the camera doesn't follow the rocket once you fire, but the rocket follows the crosshair like in BF4

[arctic grove]

Dramatic effect lol

[midnight oyster]

now my bp level is 71 lvl if I buy the 2400 package, will it be 91 lvl?

[arctic grove]

Sir it ain’t worth it

Just wait for season 4

U ain’t gonna make it

[pine roost]

So I suppose in a way I'm more competitive with myself than competitive in game if you want to put it that way

[arctic grove]

Pack it up cheif

[hexed reef]

it's free shit and you get your money back kinda

[arctic grove]

Should’ve gotten tier 100 earlier tbh

[final plume]

Honestly I feel the urge to give credit to EA support man, they actually deserve it.
By far, they are the most useless garbage support I've ever seen or heard about.

Congrats to them, they worked hard to achieve this.

[hexed reef]

Im gonna be able to get the season 4 bp for free

[arctic grove]

Same

I’m sweating💀

[cosmic storm]

Well, it's not about wanting to improve it's about taking this to seriously I guess.

[midnight oyster]

i know but i only get it once

[arctic grove]

Just get the one in season 4

Ur not gonna make it

[hexed reef]

can you zero your sniper in this game like in bf4 ?

[patent prism]

Not that I know of.

[brittle atlas]

Don't think so, but bullet drop is minimal except on the NTW-50

[pine roost]

don't really need it tbh

[midnight oyster]

if it adds 20 slots i can complete it by doing 2-3 missions

[pine roost]

velocity is fast enough to make drop and lead negligible with the proper rifle

[hexed reef]

Whats the best sniper rn?

[patent prism]

I remember my first few games of Battlefield 2042 where I was actually using the range increments on the TV 2X to try and hit targets, that was painful.

[brittle atlas]

GOL is pretty good but a bit boring imo

[vocal tusk]

Even bf4 didn't NEED zeroing. For me, it's use made sniping feel more difficult

[pine roost]

plus I find it easier to just play with default zeroing and learning that

[final plume]

No.

[vocal tusk]

Better to learn the dip and velocity of your favorite rifle at range.

[patent prism]

Waiting for an EA staff person to post so I can repost my suggestion...

[arctic grove]

Anti material

Imo I like it the most

[patent prism]

Is it really that good tho?

[arctic grove]

Yea

One shot capability

[brittle atlas]

NTW-50 is a bit disappointing tbh. Range fall off is a bit too heavy

[vocal tusk]

I like the Gol and SWS

[arctic grove]

And can be used on vehicles

[patent prism]

I've been killed by it like 3 times total, doesn't seem too popular.

[pine roost]

one shot up close is alright, but the m39 is far better for that in my opinion

[final plume]

Just use Rorsch

[vocal tusk]

Na

[arctic grove]

Or the new SVD will be a good pick

[brittle atlas]

The change to longer charge on the single-shot is so bad

[patent prism]

🤮

[final plume]

Everything comes with a price.

[brittle atlas]

The delay was already a price

[pine roost]

can't really flick with a rorsch

[vocal tusk]

Easier to get headshot with the Gol, but I don't snipe much, just when there is an annoying camping sniper somewhere a rocket can't get. 🤣

[final plume]

You can if you learn to master the charge time.

[pine roost]

selecting that just kind of locks you into a certain playstyle

[arctic grove]

Railgun is alr

[pine roost]

to a degree

[final plume]

GoL is actually the best sniper gun.

[pine roost]

dxr is my main anyway

[patent prism]

DM7, my love

[final plume]

Yes, close combat sucks even with the automatic barrel.

[brittle atlas]

SWS for me, gives me more options

[arctic grove]

I don’t snipe but by far the BSVM NTW and VCAR are my fav

[vocal tusk]

Burst on the railgun is so bad they should just remove it!

[final plume]

I'll tbag you with my BSV

[brittle atlas]

btw, subsonics on AK when

[pine roost]

the burst is fun

[next onyx]

VCAR my absolute favourite.

[pine roost]

one burst bodyshot potential but only if you land the hits

[patent prism]

Tbh the BSV-M is my go-to in CQB, even over the DM7 CC

[final plume]

The gun is amazing, just amazing.

[vocal tusk]

BSV is still pretty strong. Yeah

[arctic grove]

Still is the most underrated

[wild sapphire]

Have they changed the sfar and the dm7 within the last week? Sfar recoil seems different and the dm7 seems like it got a rate of fire buff

[vocal tusk]

There hasn't been a patch for 3 weeks, so no

[sharp marten]

S4 tomorrow baybee

[brittle atlas]

Looking forward to the new assault rifle

[final plume]

Same

[brittle atlas]

Finally a bullpup that isn't locked to burst

[pine roost]

doesn't it have a canted sight?

[vocal tusk]

All the new weapons seem fun/decent

[pine roost]

that'll be interesting

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, always has it

[brittle atlas]

Shame it's just irons

[pine roost]

allows for a variable mid range scope with the option for irons when up close

[low timber]

Way gonna T1 all four of them in 4 days.

[cosmic storm]

Bot genocide incoming

[patent prism]

The new assault rifle looks like a lot of fun tbh, probably gonna roll with that as a second-favorite under the DM7

[pine roost]

m39 until they nerf it

[patent prism]

I never got along with the recoil on that thing.

[brittle atlas]

Hope the new AR will have subsonic rounds

And extended subsonics, because that's not on any goddamn gun

[ripe hedge]

i would do more shoutouts if your names werent "A fucking Cat with a Kalashnikov"

[patent prism]

I still use it on a religious basis just because it's foundationally an M14 and I love that sweet sweet M14.

[pine roost]

the recoil isn't that hard to control

just pull down right after firing

[patent prism]

Hey Alex, can I send feedback/suggestions somewhere?

[vocal tusk]

Twitter, but send it in all caps.

[cosmic storm]

Yeah, that's the hard part

[patent prism]

Well, yeah, I more meant that I can't get along with how far I have to pull down with each shot.

I run out of mousepad.

[pine roost]

it just looks so smooth

[next onyx]

Changing your sens might be the best thing you can do.

[low timber]

That’s just a server nickname, actual profile name is Marse.

[pine roost]

it's a more gradual recoil than a sharp upwards force. Although the crosshair does move separate from screen centre which is why you might find it strange

[patent prism]

I changed from 2400 DPI to 600 DPI on a 16% sensitivity.

[next onyx]

Try 35.8 in game sens with 1600 DPI.

[patent prism]

Are you insane?

[next onyx]

I play on that.

On invert even!

[pine roost]

not this again

[patent prism]

What

how

no

[next onyx]

In seriousness.

[pine roost]

5cm/360

[ripe hedge]

Yes

[next onyx]

Try 17.9 on 1600.

[low timber]

Of course he plays inverted, is from Australia.

The land of upside down

[patent prism]

Where would that be?

[next onyx]

You are literally finnish.

[brittle atlas]

Cursor goes yeet

[patent prism]

Suomi perkele saatana vittu

[low timber]

Look what you did Way

[next onyx]

What did I do!?

[low timber]

3 Finnish swear words because of you

[pine roost]

since alex is here I wanted to ask, does -recoil control add purely vertical recoil or a mix of horizonal and vertical?

or anyone else if they happen to know

[next onyx]

I read that as 4 swear words and got confused.

[low timber]

Touch screen keyboard, missed the “button”

[patent prism]

Are you actually Finnish? If so, do you want to hear a short story?

[low timber]

Oh no

[pine roost]

Way did you end up watching those videos i sent ya?

[next onyx]

AH I literally have them up on a tab.

[hexed reef]

lowkey miss the first person executions

[low timber]

I might put the MCS-880 on hold, might try to use the PF51 until I unlock AC9 tomorrow

[patent prism]

I'll tell it anyways but in a way that will only be understood by people who know Finnish (which I do not):
During the Winter War, a Sergeant Schadewitz became famous for, while knocking on a Soviet tank with a hand grenade, having said: "Avvoo Iivana, kuolema kolokuttaa".

[restive rampart]

just started few hours

have nothing unlocked

the default LAW is so weak and keeps getting me killed

other people take out my tank in 1 hit/disable zzzzzzzz

[pine roost]

the gustav?

[lone current]

[hexed reef]

Gotta Grind out solos to get better gear to be on the same playing field

[delicate hollow]

Tomorrow better get here fast

[patent prism]

Cryphisss, is there some place one can send feedback concerning gadgets/weapons? If so, would you mind telling me where?

Or is it just waiting game for next community feedback?

[pine roost]

the general discussions page on the forums has lots of new suggestions

heck something I suggested there got put into the game

[next onyx]

Oh? Do tell!

[calm bison]

I remember going for a walk and deciding to listen to the 2042 soundtrack because it actually has some pretty good pieces

I turned on irreversible and actually got scared

[restive rampart]

you mean singleplayer mode?

[calm bison]

The way they composed that song feels actually like something out of alien

Like I’m pretty sure if I put that song over like a video of the new dead space remake it would have a greater effect

[hexed reef]

No solo conquest were you vers AI

it all counts to progression

[restive rampart]

ah vs AI ok

[pine roost]

it was that toggle to disable the heartbeat effect of zain's

[restive rampart]

btw i keep getting "connection lost" when connecting to bf4 in Geforce Now

man i get different errors everyday with GFN

damn

[next onyx]

OH.

Everytime I hear that I get dopamine.

[mossy badge]

[restive rampart]

oh it fixed itself, the error

hurray?

[solid imp]

hurray!

[pine roost]

every time I hear that I get sick :/

[calm bison]

Alright folks

Time to spam in Twitter to ask if they’ll go further beyond season 5

GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT

[ripe hedge]

you can ping me, or sent it via PM

[next onyx]

Is it just that kind of stuff that gets you? Regardless if you choose to answer or not I understand.

[patent prism]

Understood, I'll shoot you a PM.

[pine roost]

It's this right?

[patent prism]

Yes.

[pine roost]

Anything like that makes me queasy. During biology lessons at school I'd sit it out because I'd just feel awful talking about stuff like the heart and whatnot. Any form of dissection was an instant no from me

[next onyx]

Yeah I have that to an extent. Uh.

I like the idea of the Soflam being a manual designator.

[pine roost]

so when people actually ask for heart beat effects to be 'realistic' I just pray that they don't do that

playing cod is tough with that sound constantly playing when you're low

[next onyx]

Yeah. Maybe a different sound like the med box winding sound.

You know that stim like sound near a med box?

Hell, Maybe a loud gasp.

[pine roost]

the stim sound is fine

I don't get why they had to choose a heartbeat sound

[next onyx]

Probably a different, distinct sound to notify the user.

[pine roost]

but anyways you can turn it off now

[patent prism]

laughs nervously as a former Arma 3 ACE user

[pine roost]

playing that was dangerous for me

[next onyx]

Which is good.

[low timber]

Oh yeah Way, did you read my yesterdays message?

[pine roost]

I managed to get by but it still makes me feel on edge

like if I fire a rocket without earplugs I just turn down my headset

[patent prism]

Same, I classify Arma 3 as my biggest drug. Been clean since September of 2022 though, hooray!

[pine roost]

I only play with friends. But we want to get a new server up and running for the easter break :)

[patent prism]

When I play with friends I still say "Clear backblast." :(

[pine roost]

we don't do that

we just shoot each other directly

[pearl ridge]

Rewatched the Hazard Zone trailer. I think the whole "yoinking intel from satellite pods and legging it" thing could've actually worked as a non-BR mode

So pods come down, teams scramble to secure and take the drives, then they have to get them to upload stations to get points

[patent prism]

I used to be in semi-major milsim groups during my time in Arma so I had a bunch of protocols programmed into me.

[pearl ridge]

First to a certain threshold wins

Maybe people would actually play that.

[pine roost]

our protocol is have fun

break the game

[patent prism]

This actually sounds like it could be fun

[pine roost]

crash into things

[long quartz]

How the fuck do people not die when they detonate their own C5 in their face, such bs

[patent prism]

Which is by no means difficult in Arma lol

[next onyx]

Blood money from battlefield hardline.

[pine roost]

get one tapped and spend an hour bringing someone back up

[next onyx]

You literally just described blood money.

[restive rampart]

how do i take down little birds as infantry?

[pearl ridge]

Blood Money but it comes from space

Look I just want to try something a little different without being saddled with BR shit

[next onyx]

https://youtu.be/x69s53aiCkQ

God this is OLD.

Oh god AT choppers having LMG's and IR rockets.

[patent prism]

I went to the hospital to get blood tests done and shit and when they told me "bla bla bla your heart rate is 81 and blood pressure 123/83" immediately in my brain I just went "ok the default in arma is heart rate 80 and blood pressure 120/80 so i'm good"

[next onyx]

The metagame was so much different in the alpha.

[pearl ridge]

So anyway if Dice is listening: try retrofitting Hazard Zone's assets to remake Blood Money I guess

[next onyx]

It was a fun mode because you could steal the enemies points.

And take it home.

Or you kill carriers, steal that money and take it home.

/ Kill the looters and take it back to the vault.

And you got so many points.

There was a lot that could be done.

[pine roost]

so basically The Finals

[next onyx]

What!?

[pine roost]

Yeah that's basically how the finals works

there's a bank, money boxes spawn on the map, you take them to the bank to amass points but others can steal said money

[vital mauve]

Season 4 is out right?

[pine roost]

tomorrow

[nocturne storm]

bruh

[vital mauve]

Oh

[nocturne storm]

Still waiting for mommy camila

[next onyx]

Oh I read that differently Bullet.

Nvm.

[nocturne storm]

??

[hexed reef]

The podcast on Spotify for the new season is a interesting listen tbh

[low timber]

I only listened few seconds after 40 minutes mark for the Waygyanba reference

[pine roost]

i'm interested in all the sections

aside from cookie of the week

[next onyx]

I like listening to their point of views on things.

[patent prism]

Alex is fucking based, his favorite assault rifle is the RM277

[next onyx]

Such as Alex on about the RM277.

[pine roost]

never heard of it

[patent prism]

It's gonna be called the RM68 in-game if I recall correctly

[solid imp]

-_- enemy can still continue arming mcom even whilst being taken down

[low timber]

Melee takedown or downed?

[solid imp]

melee

[low timber]

Lol

[pine roost]

I don't even know the names of the guns coming tbh

[low timber]

He got his priorities right

[patent prism]

It is the assault rifle coming in S4

[low timber]

And you got fragged

[solid imp]

lol

the whole thing was downright disappointing

[low timber]

Have you seen much EOD bots trying to arm/disarm the M-COMs?

[solid imp]

once or twice maybe

not on rush xl though, waaaay too many people watching

[low timber]

I’ve seen EOD quite a lot in Breakthrough for some reason

[light stirrup]

hello is there something that can tell me the name of the set for a certain?

[solid imp]

the set?

[light stirrup]

in the shop i mean

[low timber]

Would be cool if Blasco’s jammer would make the RC’s loose connection while in its aoe.

[solid imp]

oh like which set contains a particular item

[light stirrup]

yeah

[solid imp]

it doesn't look like it unfortunately

you can of course go into the individual catalog items to buy a specific cosmetic without buying the bundle

but I'm not seeing anywhere that it links back to the bundle from those individual items

[light stirrup]

oooh wait now i got it im so dumb

[summer lake]

Absolutely, if we get more drones it could stop them or cause them to crash

Also we need ranger customisation and load outs

Having a separate head and chassis spot

[sharp marten]

Yo kaos

[solid imp]

heeyyya

[sharp marten]

Can I interest you in a

[solid imp]

only today please

[sharp marten]

[summer lake]

I would also love a

[low timber]

Next we need a green container though

[solid imp]

I have one more day of being an acolyte of The Cube lol

[summer lake]

Leviathan Division container

[solid imp]

then free

[low timber]

How long is the cube from wall to wall?

[patent prism]

I remember the other day on Discarded on B1 with a few friends and someone said "IN THE RED CONTAINER" (there's like 12 of them within a 100 meter radius)

[summer lake]

You will be consumed by the Leviathan

“HES IN THR CONTAINER”

Bro which one

[patent prism]

Or my favorite from DCS: World flying the AH-64D with a friend; "he's by that cluster of trees"

[summer lake]

Playing the original Zavod sniping from the factory roof and my friend called out “he’s behind the tank”

[patent prism]

lmao

[ripe hedge]

You may leave the CUBE, but it will never leave you

[summer lake]

The cube consumes

[patent prism]

EXACTLY that

[summer lake]

Also based shotgun user

[pine roost]

oh dang I could have used that as a much better reference for my background

ah well, too late now

I love the one that has the helicopter rotors

[solid imp]

lol

that one really sucked to make, I'm sure anyone who does graphic design knows loads of shortcuts... that's not my skill level

[patent prism]

happy little accidents

[ripe hedge]

Shotguns are love, Shotguns are life

[summer lake]

I really want to use the M880 but it sometimes can be a little inconsistent

[pine roost]

the shotgun from ultrakill please

with the marksman pistol too

[next onyx]

Explosive core plus red railgun for NUKE.

[summer lake]

We need the deagle in AOW

[pine roost]

I wonder if it would be possible to make a marksman style weapon in portal

it's probably deep enough for it

[patent prism]

Doesn't the M39 get the 8x in AOW?

[pine roost]

no idea

i use red dot

[summer lake]

I really want the rumour of vault sights on AOW to be true

DM7 with an ACOG

[patent prism]

I don't see why you would ever use that over the 1.25-4.5x other than aesthetics

[summer lake]

I use the new clinical skin with the ghost sight

I absolutely love it

It just feels right as a huge lore freak

[limpid pond]

So Jake paul lost

Intresting enough I actually thought he would win

[indigo cave]

Drake's fault

[lone current]

@ripe hedge is the

[low timber]

He is Keanu Reeves?

[summer lake]

Agreed, also I’m sorta concerned about the new launcher

[pine roost]

le grenande launcher?

[summer lake]

Yeah, having two shots in one

[ripe hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/perhaps-hmm-peter-griffin-family-guy-gif-17801540

[pine roost]

Well I'm assuming it's duration would be long enough to identify where it is and run away, the issue comes from the sheer volume that will be present given that ammo count

[summer lake]

4 grenades to stick to people and possibly bm with

[pine roost]

I'm hoping it's just one 'mag' before needing to be restocked

[summer lake]

If this is true, I will serve my DICE overlords

[quaint vector]

Hello there

[low timber]

We do know that the Kobra sight is coming to the AC9

[quaint vector]

Then I'll have fun job for you...

[low timber]

Yesterday I got fed up with the MCS-880 and made a list comparing the BF3 and BF4 870 MCS to the 2042 MCS-880

[patent prism]

KOWALSKI, ANALYSIS

[quaint vector]

Results..?!?!

[low timber]

BF3 870 MCS
125 rpm
12 Pellets
18 dmg per pellet
6/12 pellets needed for ohk

BF4 870 MCS
92 rpm
19 Pellets
11.2 dmg per pellet
9/19 pellets needed for ohk

2042 MCS-880 #04 Buck
73.17 rpm (Sym.gg v2.2)
10 Pellets
15 dmg per pellet
7/10 pellets needed for ohk

[quaint vector]

BF3 for the Win

[ripe hedge]

oh no

[quaint vector]

Oh yes, You'll love it.!

[low timber]

BF3’s started to loose damage at 9m already

While BF4’s goes up to 25m

[quaint vector]

Gimme my 12M Auto

[light stirrup]

how much does a battle pass cost

[low timber]

1000

[light stirrup]

nice tysm

[quaint vector]

Also you can make 1 300 from Battle Pass for next S5 Battle Pass.

[pearl ridge]

And apparently 2042's loses damage pretty much the moment it leaves the barrel

[light stirrup]

yeah i have over 3k and i wanted to know how much should i spend before reaching the cost of a single battle pass

[pearl ridge]

The fucking Masterkey is a more reliable shotgun and it's a tiny little thing strapped to a proper rifle

[solid imp]

Appears to be about 95m from wall to wall, and vertically I think is the same but my maths might be a bit off because The Cube is elevated off the ground by several meters

[low timber]

With #04 buck on the MCS-880 you need 70% of the pellets to hit on the optimal range as well.

[pearl ridge]

Seriously come on how could it be this hard to make a functional shotgun

[low timber]

So one Jammer can’t block the whole building then.

[solid imp]

no if I had to guess it seems to be about the same radius as a t-ugs, based only on the minimap in the trailer

[low timber]

Jammer has a 20m radius

[solid imp]

oh smaller then, I think t-ugs is something like 30 or 35

[hexed reef]

anyone here who plays on controller know if the game supports the ps5 controller layout ?? I have xbox prompts

[next onyx]

I'm not sure if there are official drivers for the ps5 controller on PC.

[hexed reef]

[remote kiln]

there is full support for the DS controller scheme through steam

[hexed reef]

hm wonder why bf2042 doesn't choose to use the ps5 layout

[solid imp]

Ohhh now I'm noticing the third Cube way off in the distance.. referenced in their last podcast about map design. Spearhead was originally going to be much larger and have 3 Cubes. I'm assuming that's it in the background.

That would have been a massively larger map

[cosmic storm]

Never saw that one before

[languid viper]

Will 2042 go on sale tommorow? I’m hoping to pick it up for the new season.

[remote kiln]

nobody knows

[languid viper]

Ight

[solid imp]

Ahhhh they go on forever, there's a FOURTH CUBE!!

[hexed reef]

Yea I have that selected but it doesn't show the ps5 layout in game it defaults to xbox

[pastel loom]

which platform?

[cosmic storm]

Why did they build factories so far from each others

[hexed reef]

Why not

[cosmic storm]

Maybe to avoid getting all destroyed at the same time ?

Make sense

[solid imp]

this is making me happy they scaled it back to 2 Cubes lol

That's sufficient

[low timber]

Theres cubes all around the map.

[solid imp]

On this the last day I'm seeing so much more 😄

[sour steeple]

Its just for the background to be alive

[solid imp]

Which is fantastic, I love those details but I can't imagine it would have worked very well if they had stuck with their original design plan for the map

[remote kiln]

settings you need for the game, reboot the game after

[hexed reef]

Hm will try when I get h0m

[solid imp]

map border? I'm right up against it

[summer lake]

Wonder if it’s all printing/painting stations or maybe there’s offices

[solid imp]

ah found it.. 27:05 in last week's podcast the map designer confirmed it was 3 Cubes and the third was originally to the south... so it would have been somewhere over here probably

There are indeed a few areas over in that direction-ish that are really flat, like a building was ripped out lol

[upbeat gust]

i actually hope they add that in

it would help jets so much

cause spearhead is kinda weird to navigate with jets, you just keep going out of the battle area when turning

and the map isn't really expansive

it's more of a straight line

[sour steeple]

Thats an skybox issue. For this one they can simply expand the skybox. Without extending ground area

[potent trench]

Can we do last season's Easter Egg once the season is over?

[upbeat gust]

i mean yeah but wouldn't adding abit more than having the map be just a straight line of battle be great?

[upbeat gust]

yeah probably

[sour steeple]

No.

[potent trench]

really? So I cant do the s2 easter egg anymore?

[sour steeple]

Game suffers from having to much empty space

[potent trench]

ah yre talking about somethhing else

nevermind

[sour steeple]

Sorry wasnt answering you

[hexed reef]

I am empty space

[cosmic storm]

You can't be empty if you are a space

[simple mango]

Unavailable on some platforms

[pine roost]

128 players

[simple mango]

[pine roost]

Yeah, older platforms can’t run 128 so setting that in portal restricts it

[simple mango]

Ohh

Nope. PS Plus games are always in the first Tuesday of the month

[arctic grove]

Bf5 was aswell

And bf1

[plucky chasm]

[arctic grove]

Sir it’s been 2-3 years of 2042

[plucky chasm]

not even 3 years

it came out nov 2021

so its been a year and like 3 months

[hexed reef]

[granite island]

The ps5 also came out in November 2021

Or was it 2020

Can't remember

[plucky chasm]

2020

[granite island]

Damn

I thought it came out last year

[plucky chasm]

ikr time flies

same cus people could finally get one

[quaint vector]

That's because PS5 was hard to get

[granite island]

Atleast I can walk into a best buy and grab a ps5 now

[hexed reef]

I got a ps5 played ratchet and clank and then sold it lol

[granite island]

I hate autocorrect

[plucky chasm]

really damn ive never seen one in a shop

lol really Xility

u know their making sequel right

😮

[hexed reef]

Yea maxed out the game and then was like eh never gonna use it again so I sold it lol

[plucky chasm]

i got it for 30 bucks christmas sale

pre fun game

[granite island]

I wish the ps4 and ps5 had different logos

[plucky chasm]

but too short yea

[granite island]

So I wouldn't make the mistake of accidentally buying the 2042 ps4 version at gamestop

[plucky chasm]

damn did you get the same money back at least

[royal trail]

ingame say its only 15 hours left of season 3, hype

[plucky chasm]

lol

[granite island]

Atleast it was on sale

[plucky chasm]

season 4 better add squad mangement

[granite island]

But I'm still sad I bought the wrong copy of 2042

[plucky chasm]

is it selling for 9 dollars there too

[pastel loom]

generally ps4 has a blue color theme while 5 is white

[plucky chasm]

?

[granite island]

For some reason I thought they were all blue

Now I gotta wait till March 7th to play the ps5 version

[plucky chasm]

lol

i hope you sold it

[pastel loom]

ps5's writing is black too

[plucky chasm]

ps5 games also are a rip off

thats how u can tell

125 aud for a new game crazy

[errant scarab]

[granite island]

Don't make a new battlefield

[plucky chasm]

yes please

[errant scarab]

Drop this 💩

[plucky chasm]

they should

drop this game

[granite island]

They should in 2026

[hexed reef]

Of course I did $1000 lol

[errant scarab]

drop this game, like u drop BFV... make a battlefield, real battlefield, real war

[white geyser]

Alright luckily for me, I found a portal server where you only capture the objective back and forward by grinding, and I’m only S036 right now

[plucky chasm]

damn 1000!? scalp it nice good paycheck

[granite island]

It's gonna be like the battlefield 5 incident

[royal trail]

will season 5 be the last season?

[granite island]

The battlefront 2 incident

And other games

[errant scarab]

yes please...

[plucky chasm]

yes, it is pretty obvious now

[royal trail]

k

thanks

[plucky chasm]

i will be very shocked if season 6 is announced and theyu revive it

[pastel loom]

the can put more additions post season 5
it just won't be as big as an entire season and a battlepass road map

[plucky chasm]

hmmm but they got a sekelton crew working on the game rn justr like battlefront 2 had before they dropped it

skeleton

[royal trail]

bf3042 humans vs ai machines next please

[errant scarab]

I can't believe this game cost 2 billion to make...it doesn't even look like it, the game looks very low quality

[quaint vector]

EA/DICE didn't said anything official yet

[plucky chasm]

?

[hexed reef]

Sold it to somone on Facebook market place, the dude was like it's for my son could you lower the price for him and I was like "do you love your son?" and he knew I wasn't gonna lower it so his like I'll take it man all good XD

[plucky chasm]

when did it say 2 billion

[errant scarab]

BF2042 = $2B

what a mess

[plucky chasm]

of course they wont they wont mention it until they leech everyone off the store and season 5 is out

[white geyser]

I need next battlefield game that takes place in the year 2025, it’s in between BF4 and 2042. However they should release it on 2026 just to add more time to develop

[plucky chasm]

when did they say that

[errant scarab]

dm

[plucky chasm]

they should release 2025 minimum

[pastel loom]

then make it take place in 2026 as well

[plucky chasm]

thats too late

[granite island]

There is no too late

[plucky chasm]

no one will play bf anymore by that point if 2042 support does go away

yea there is they gotta rush to fix this mess

[quaint vector]

All speculations by now...

[errant scarab]

New battlefield like BF4 pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee

with BFV mechanics

[plucky chasm]

new bf like bad company 2 please

😉
