You can’t do cs pops since grenades work by activating a timer once it hits the ground

agile pelican
#

Oh you can't cook them?

pine roost
#

Nah

agile pelican
#

I thought something was scuffed lmao

pine roost
#

Throw them straight up and they’ll land before blowing up

dreamy sonnet
#

@agile pelican depends how attached are you to that sidebof your body

agile pelican
#

Can you remove attachments from your quickswap

pine roost
#

Nope

agile pelican
#

Thats

#

Kinda silly

pine roost
#

Yeah

spiral folio
#

Well if you could do a flash in a room itd blind people long enough a frag might not do the job

agile pelican
#

Why does my sniper guy have a radar on the compass

#

It pulses

spiral folio
#

Cause casper isnt a sniper
Hes "a guy thst owns a drone"

pine roost
#

Ghillie suit guy?

spiral folio
#

There's no dedicated sniper specialist

agile pelican
#

ah

spiral folio
#

Because ea hates snipers

pine roost
#

He’s got a motion sensor which pulses when someone is nearby

#

The only one who doesn’t really work as a sniper is paik

agile pelican
#

I don't use the motion sensor

pine roost
#

The other recons have ways of helping them as a sniper. But all in all the other specialists would be more beneficial

agile pelican
#

The compass pulses

pine roost
#

Like a jet radar?

spiral folio
#

Rao is probably the only actually useful recon. Caspers radar thing is neat but not really vital

#

Like for a sniper

pine roost
#

The drone can be useful to quickly check your flank as well as spot people without exposing yourself

spiral folio
#

The hacking thing can be useful for harassing choppers.

pine roost
#

But again I’d take mackay strafe speed most likely

spiral folio
#

The drone and radar arent useful for long range

pine roost
#

Not really no

spiral folio
#

I used to use mackay to reach neat sniping spots

keen sinew
#

oh no

#

well about casper

spiral folio
#

But most of those arent very useful

keen sinew
#

he is useful

#

if your team knows how to kill enemy

#

lile information in BF was always good to have

pine roost
#

Sitting in a drone looking at everyone isn’t very fun though

spiral folio
#

The ghili suit is dumb since most maps are urban or frozen. Do its bad for camo and makes you a larger target.

pine roost
#

Best to use him by peeking with the drone quickly then acting on that

spiral folio
#

The drones range sucks

#

And "good listening" can make up for the radar thing

keen sinew
#

250m is enough tho

spiral folio
#

Thats really not very far

keen sinew
#

nah

#

you have to close the gap with your teamate

spiral folio
#

Considering lis is about 400m effective range

keen sinew
#

when out of range

spiral folio
#

That seems like his problem not mine

keen sinew
#

did you just compare missile and drone?

#

okay

spiral folio
#

I can see stuff with it

spiral folio
#

Visual targets draw attention

#

Even if the hitbox is the same. If you see a guy with a neon clown suit. Bam

lunar finch
#

i mean i wear whatever i like

spiral folio
#

A big fluffy bush in the frozen wasteland. You'll center mass on thst all day

keen sinew
#

default is fine for most of situation

lunar finch
#

my playstyle is aggressive enough that what im wearing doesnt matter

spiral folio
#

Always matters

lunar finch
#

only way ur outfit matters is if ur crawling everywhere and going negative ig

pine roost
#

That and I don’t play Casper anyway

spiral folio
#

Disrupting the outline and visual mass adds and subtracts time for visual confirmation it might be subtle but it matters

lunar finch
drowsy shuttle
spiral folio
#

Yes

keen sinew
#

no

spiral folio
#

Like the worst camo in the game is the bright white suits

lunar finch
#

i could wear a clown suit and still play the same loll

spiral folio
#

You'll aim on those faster because it highlights the target so well

drowsy shuttle
#

I shoot everything that moves, their outfit doesnt matter or wont make me focus in someone instead of others

keen sinew
#

at like 50m?

lunar finch
#

^

silk surge
#

Thank god for the PS+ thing. I've officially beat the game.

spiral folio
#

Yes this is camo basics. The idea of disrupting the outline of a person delays target acquisition

lunar finch
#

playing hazard zone..

keen sinew
#

see if a big black thing start running then everyone gonna spot them anyway

drowsy shuttle
#

In a battle royale game or like tarkov, yes, outfit or skin might matter... in battlefield not really

lunar finch
#

yeah

pine roost
#

Well it’s always a consideration

lunar finch
#

2042s lighting is really bright and colorful

#

big name tags

#

enemies have colored lights on them so u know they are enemies

pine roost
#

If someone is hiding in a bush and you didn’t see them, the camo worked to a degree. I always tried to match up my skins in bf4 just for a slight edge

drowsy shuttle
#

Yes not to mention we carry a neon light with us...

keen sinew
#

well i gonna use camo for that

spiral folio
#

The light is also why yiu see red lights literally everywhere

keen sinew
#

but tempo of this game

lunar finch
#

they are so massive

pine roost
#

True

keen sinew
lunar finch
#

especially on kaleidoscope

drowsy shuttle
#

I tried to use cammos in bf 2042 according to environment.. i was dying the same as if i was wearing the T1 skins... so i just wear whatever i want

keen sinew
#

thats a important part considering we think different case

pine roost
#

Especially since most of the skins are paid ones unlike 4 where it’s all basically free

#

It just isn’t worth the hassle

limpid pond
#

Mad unfair

lunar finch
#

yeah i just buy what looks cool

pine roost
#

I don’t buy

keen sinew
dreamy sonnet
#

My timer says 5:32 searching lol

copper ice
#

i buy everything that looks cool

keen sinew
#

the response time of spotting other camo can not be the same

limpid pond
keen sinew
#

but i rather improve my positioning more than that

pine roost
keen sinew
#

wow

#

thats impressive

limpid pond
lunar finch
#

💀

pine roost
#

But I wouldn’t have if I didn’t get that

limpid pond
#

💀

pine roost
#

I’ve equipped that one pre order McKay skin and the blue m5 but besides that everything is default

#

I don’t see my player skin, the gun skin would be more worthwhile but ultimately it doesn’t make the game any more fun by itself

keen sinew
#

as you say so

limpid pond
#

The mackay white skin?

#

No one uses that

pine roost
#

The one that hides his face with the blue visor

keen sinew
#

I thought theyre all gone

limpid pond
#

Yeah it's white right?

pine roost
#

Nah it’s brown

limpid pond
#

Oh the white one is for angel

#

I know which one you're talking about. I never see that skin

pine roost
#

In basically any game I play I just stick to default unless it’s something I’ve actually earned and worked to get

limpid pond
#

Why

#

What's point of having it if you don't use it to some extent

#

There's nothing wrong with what you're doing, it's your choice im.just curious is all

pine roost
limpid pond
#

How so? 2042 is solid now

pine roost
#

If I had the choice I would have gotten the base game and left it at that

spiral folio
#

I got the regular edition aftwr it had been out a bit and tried it on my brothers pc

limpid pond
#

Way better than release

pine roost
#

Exactly

frigid violet
#

I got the gold edition too and it was a great decision

pine roost
#

I pre ordered 💀

limpid pond
#

Edition

frigid violet
#

Super fun first week

limpid pond
#

I preordered the regular

frigid violet
#

Been playing every week since

spiral folio
#

Half my time on 2042 was bots in solo cause of some crippling bugs year1

limpid pond
#

Wasn't gold only like 80$m

#

?

frigid violet
#

128 cq forever

pine roost
#

It’s better now, still got a plethora of issues but they are slowly narrowing them down

frigid violet
#

$90

copper ice
#

only 80 bucks for 2042

limpid pond
#

That's not bad

spiral folio
#

Like 100ish hours out of 250

limpid pond
#

If you're gonna play I mean

#

Like 80$ plus to not play the game is a waste

spiral folio
#

Blasting AIs away with vehicles is a nice stress reliever

stark vortex
#

need 200 kills for t1 wildcat.... anyone wanna help me?

keen sinew
#

btw is it sale for $15 now?

frigid violet
#

Yeah I was watching some twitch the first day it was out and then I was like okay I gotta play it right now

pine roost
#

As long as it ends up in a state where I’d feel happy playing it for a long time I’ll be happy

limpid pond
#

It's like me with Ellen ring

#

Elden*

#

Spent 59$ to never play it

frigid violet
#

I even liked it before they fixed the spread on assault rifles

#

Like, just had to fire in bursts lol

keen sinew
#

developer's response time getting real fast

limpid pond
#

Dev response time had always been fast the issue is getting the greenlight to say anything

#

Can't blame the devs when management makes the calls

frigid violet
#

Silly management

limpid pond
#

Ea for you

#

A bunch of rich guys who don't even play video games making decisions for video games

keen sinew
#

that is silly

copper ice
#

they want sales

#

people keep buying it

limpid pond
#

That's what happens when gaming becomes a money generator vs a leisurely practice

#

That's the reason you can actually make a living by becoming a streamer

#

Wasn't possible 10 yrs ago for games really

keen sinew
#

lets see when video game starts to become adware

limpid pond
#

Probably none on console or pc

#

Mobile yes

pine roost
limpid pond
pine roost
#

It’s been genuinely great seeing them open up more about what’s in the works and what they think of it

keen sinew
#

especailly podcast thing

pine roost
#

Like I’m hopeful that in a couple months the game will be in the place I want it to be at

keen sinew
#

and im surprised the change of flashpoint took 1 week

arctic grove
#

Day 2 of waiting to get the finals key. The urges are getting stronger

forest snow
copper ice
#

it only taking a week meant it was really bad

#

like they said it was 51:49 ratio

copper ice
#

there's no way you make changes for numbers that small after only a week

keen sinew
#

it was fine in my perspective

limpid pond
pine roost
#

And the people left over are the ones who care player wise

limpid pond
#

So they're actually able to work in a less stressful environment leading to great productivity

keen sinew
#

they have to remake the whole map for all those complain

copper ice
#

its very good that they made the change but it shouldnt be happening in the first place still

limpid pond
#

Like alex

keen sinew
#

but it cant be

limpid pond
#

They care about the money not you

keen sinew
#

QA is problem for most of the games

#

1 week is fine considering that

inner ether
#

Whenever I load into Spearhead Breakthrough as defender, I leave. Being farmed by vehicles isn't fun. Having maps designed to make one side more likely to lose isn't fun.

copper ice
#

welcome to breakthrough

limpid pond
#

Yeah that's breakthrough for you

pine roost
#

The 30mm jeep spam is excessive

limpid pond
#

Transports are kinda op

pine roost
#

But that seems to be getting resolved

keen tapir
#

Hey y'all

agile pelican
#

Which of the sniper guys have a good gadget?

limpid pond
#

Makes no sense to have gernade launches on them

copper ice
#

only took a year to maybe nerf 30mm a little bit

keen sinew
#

I dont think any of incoming change of recon

#

is exists

limpid pond
#

Better than 50mm at launch

#

Oh the pain

copper ice
agile pelican
#

Also why can't I view the third recon

keen sinew
copper ice
#

the new recon is pretty good but she has to be unlocked first

agile pelican
#

How

#

it doesn't let you view them to even know

keen sinew
#

by leveling up

limpid pond
keen sinew
#

its free for everyone

#

just complete few mission and tada

#

okay

#

I think recon class is balanced btw

#

not overpowered nor underpowered

spiral folio
#

Recons are all garbage for sniping though

keen sinew
#

cya

spiral folio
#

Youre just as well using any other class to snipe with

keen sinew
#

sniping is garbage in this game

copper ice
#

you're better sniping with falck because she gets infinite heals and ammo

spiral folio
#

The ballistics are good bht the damage is kinda lame

#

And then smoke trails

#

And lens glare

agile pelican
#

Why did I get oneshot by a sniper that didn't headshot twice

spiral folio
#

And killcam

#

Like they baby feed people all the info in this

copper ice
agile pelican
#

that didn't headshot

copper ice
#

Oh

#

My bad i misread

spiral folio
#

Yea the damage to body is like 60-80 at range

keen sinew
#

NTW?

copper ice
#

Thats the NTW right

spiral folio
#

Close range can 1 shot but lots can at close range

copper ice
#

It kills in one hit to the body up to 100 metres

#

Normal bolt actions dont 1 shot up close anymore

agile pelican
#

Why am I even using a scope then

#

I will use it as a dmr

keen sinew
#

because you dont have to?

spiral folio
#

I do kinda question the wisdom of using a slow rifle at 100m but people are free to try

copper ice
#

Tbh you're better off using the dmrs than the snipers most of the time

spiral folio
#

Id use the crossbow at 100m before the ntw

agile pelican
#

Theres a crossbow?

keen sinew
#

sniper is balanced for over 100m combat

spiral folio
#

Namely because it doesnt sound like a falling pallet of bricks

keen sinew
#

it has a crossbow

copper ice
keen sinew
#

^

copper ice
#

2 second reload

#

get 300 kills and you get exploding bolts

spiral folio
#

And exploders

#

Yea they were the airburst before airburst

keen sinew
#

i thought it is explode when hitting something

#

does that have a timer?

spiral folio
#

Its a slight delay

#

I think it still delays even if you hit an object

keen sinew
#

it does

#

i mean exploding while in the air

spiral folio
#

What id do sometime is shoot the wall near people's cover

keen sinew
#

now i undertand

spiral folio
#

So it'd work like an airburst for targets hidden yea

keen sinew
#

yeao

low timber
#

I’ve now seen three hacker that don’t even try to hide it in this game. Thonk
Hopefully they get banned as I reported them.

naive quiver
#

I guess season 4 is the last one free access for Ultimate Edition yeah ?

keen sinew
#

and they confirmed season 5

agile pelican
#

Spawned, ran forward two feet, grenade tossed at feet over hill

spiral folio
#

It takes "some" amount of time to gather evidence on a cheater to ban a cheater.

keen sinew
#

BF title has 2 to 3 years interval

mental delta
keen sinew
#

will it gonna be season 8?

spiral folio
#

After all the nerfs this season I'll just watch

mental delta
keen sinew
#

i guess

naive quiver
#

Then new battlefield release

mental delta
naive quiver
#

Again everyone watch the trailer

mental delta
keen sinew
#

no

naive quiver
#

Pre-order

spiral folio
#

Think it's gonna be a while til at least a fullbore BF release

mental delta
#

Yeah it's not gonna release next year like everyone seems to think

naive quiver
#

Every 2 years

spiral folio
#

Bf4 came out quick after 3 because 3 had some massive security flaws. They were also releasing new spinoffs like crazy

keen sinew
#

Unless EA forgets 2042 incident

spiral folio
#

Covid kinda stretched 2042s timeline out so like s3 kinda re-released the game

mental delta
naive quiver
#

I prefer they can remade battlefield 1 😂😂

mental delta
#

Release is probably set to arrive later

keen sinew
#

with singleplayer

quaint vector
#

I would not expect new BF this year

naive quiver
#

I doubt

agile pelican
#

Does this game have mortars

quaint vector
#

Nope

agile pelican
#

That would solve so many issues

keen sinew
mental delta
mental delta
naive quiver
#

Next year summer 2024

agile pelican
#

I remember being a mortar God in battlefield 3

keen sinew
#

but dice has frostbite studio so

quaint vector
keen sinew
#

we might get some improvements

mental delta
spiral folio
#

My hope is a super powerful sniper weapon

Wont happen but i can dream

lilac dust
#

What attachments ya'll using on the AC9?

naive quiver
#

This question answer should be ask EA 🧑‍💼

keen sinew
#

*wrapped

nocturne rover

mental delta
lilac dust
keen sinew

waiting 2 more years with 2042 hmm

nocturne rover

dapper river

I'd be fine with two more years of 2042 as long as they keep delivering banger content cool_guy

nocturne rover

game needs more baddies

Myla

arctic grove
#

god damn when will DICE fix their potato servers

#

Sooo many issues

keen sinew
#

its EAs problem

#

i learned just yesterday

arctic grove
arctic grove
spiral folio
#

Problem with figuring iut if the EA servers are down or if the problem is on your end is the fact theh dont always tell the truth if the servers are down.

Your best bet is to watch the chat to see if lots of people cant connect

keen sinew
#

Falck for sure

naive quiver
#

EA has blamed players not paid enough for them to get a better servers

spiral folio
#

Players "ok let me host my own server"
EA "ah yeh yeh..... no"

arctic grove
keen sinew
#

yes

spiral folio
#

At what

dapper river
spiral folio
#

Hes the best at drone using
Beyond that iunno

ivory canopy
#

The self-conscious proximity sensor Casper has is very helpful

ivory canopy
#

Probably ideal for solo sniping gameplay

spiral folio
#

Nah

ivory canopy
#

Or hunting players

spiral folio
#

Nope

arctic grove
keen sinew
#

not for sniping

keen sinew
#

but for soloing objective

#

on conquest

ivory canopy
spiral folio
#

If i was forced to use a recon to snipe. Id use rao because he can stop helos from hunting me down

naive quiver
#

I was right not purchased call of duty last year

#

Such bad ass

spiral folio
#

Beyond that. No recons have sniper abilities

ivory canopy
#

Also, Rao is easy to T1

rocky kraken
#

there are people who main gl

spiral folio
#

The rifle steady thing isnt thet vital

keen sinew
#

acually all class is viable for sniper except for recon

agile pelican
#

The starter engineer dmr is so good????

spiral folio
#

I use lis because the rocket can take out snipers that are too hidden

ivory canopy
#

Lis is nice

#

Get a rocket launcher and C5 at the same time

keen sinew
#

even boris is fine

ivory canopy
#

I've neglected assault classes in this game for some reason

keen sinew
#

it is most good class for k/d thats for sure

spiral folio
#

before the class nerf i used lis with the bullpup rifle and an ammo box cause it burned through mags

ivory canopy
#

I might most likely use Mackay because that grappling hook is so based.

naive quiver
#

Boris Johnsonis fine too

spiral folio
agile pelican
#

What do the other engineers do

keen sinew
#

the game that only has map element to climb up and gave a grappling hook to specific one

agile pelican
#

Can only see the first one

ivory canopy
#

Which one is that?

agile pelican
#

Boris

keen sinew
#

you have to complete mission for unlock fhem

ivory canopy
#

Lis has a TGM rocket launcher, and the ability to see damaged vehicles through walls

agile pelican
#

Tg?

#

Tgm?

keen sinew
#

i dont know what it is

ivory canopy
#

TV guided missile

agile pelican
#

Oh

ivory canopy
#

Crawford has a shielded gatling gun, and can repair vehicles faster if they're critically damaged

agile pelican
#

So basically Liz and crawford are better

#

Turrets don't seem too good

ivory canopy
#

Boris is alright, but his passive special is 🥱

keen sinew
#

boris has sentry gun for spotting enemy

#

but yeah, other two are better

ivory canopy
#

idk I do not enjoy playing Boris

agile pelican
#

Can any of them make a targeting turret

#

So you can use aa launchers on tanks

keen sinew
#

no

ivory canopy
#

Use soflam

keen sinew
#

you need SOFLAM from recon

agile pelican
#

Oh

ivory canopy
#

^

keen sinew
#

and the level for unlock soflam will be..

#

idk 40? 60?

agile pelican
#

Yikes

#

Of course the only good items are at the end of the tree

ivory canopy
#

Soflam is such a based item though

copper ice
#

soflam or targeting dart from recon

#

soflam is better

keen sinew
#

spoiler alert

#

soflam is not that good

copper ice
#

boris is the worst specialist in the game by a large margin at this point

copper ice
ivory canopy
#

I got T1 with soflam rather quickly tbh

keen sinew
#

boris turret should have 30mm

lime mango
#

Boris turret? Do you fire boris johnson's at the enemies by any chance?

keen sinew
#

airburst, and thermal lock on to enemy

copper ice
#

casper drone outdoes soflam for spotting, soflam has the target lock but since only Two Specialists in the Whole Game get access to launchers that can utilize the target lock and one of them is boris, not many people are running things that can actually utilize the target lock

fervent rose
#

boris turret should become a c-ram to swat out hinds and condors

ivory canopy
#

imho Sundance should get a launcher for their grenades

copper ice
#

i spent the entire round target locked in a hind yesterday and people shot at me like 5 times in the whole round

fervent rose
#

current boris turret is so lame, not even fun sounding

copper ice
#

this dude was dedicated to tracking me with soflam literally the whole round

#

none of his team utilized it

#

lis is still the pick for most engies

fervent rose
#

yeah thats my experience too when i notice soflammers

copper ice
#

and she cant interact with target lock

fervent rose
#

they just annoy me with the target lock but i dont get hit by rockets

copper ice
#

game design is so poor

keen sinew
#

ability of other two

deep ether
#

New to the game. What is the best way to destroy armored vehicles? I feel so powerless. Thanks for respoinding

copper ice
#

this is fundamentally bad game design at this point

keen sinew
#

is way too situational

fervent rose
#

1 out of 30 soflammers ends up with me getting rocketed it feels like

inner ether
#

The new LMG is poop :(

fervent rose
#

the rest just either die or sit so far away they are useless

keen sinew
deep ether
agile pelican
#

I really like the starter mmr

keen sinew
#

use it more and unlock attachment

agile pelican
#

Its kinda busted

ivory canopy
ivory canopy
inner ether
ivory canopy
#

No wait, so does engi

fervent rose
copper ice
#

for a real answer, the 40mm AP underbarrel grenade launcher on a handful of guns for close to midrange vehicles, the m5 launcher for all ranges (but awful dps from slow reloads),
The REAL answer is suicide rushing with c5

deep ether
keen sinew
fervent rose
#

those are your best solo options

ivory canopy
#

Lis can have C5 too

agile pelican
#

I feel like people use sunbreak for her wingsuit

#

Its fun

inner ether
copper ice
#

you'll have the best luck with railgun tank or sundance c5 yeah

agile pelican
#

Oh sundance

keen sinew
#

wa

#

t the f

ivory canopy
#

I run C5 on Lis regularly. Nice to have options.

copper ice
#

railgun tank just also requires being a tank and its shit against infantry so it can be boring

fervent rose
#

also mines are pretty good now. just boring

agile pelican
#

Can you toss c4 while wingsuiting

fervent rose
#

you can hide mines way more now

spiral folio
#

Yea i carey c5s cause nothing else was worth it

fervent rose
#

they no longer are 4 feet all

agile pelican
#

I destroyed a helicopter with c4 earlier

keen sinew
spiral folio
#

Sometime i use em as breaching charges

copper ice
#

mines arent bad, c5 just has more utility

agile pelican
#

I tossed it off a building and all 3 landed on it

copper ice
#

i run mines on lis

keen sinew
#

the damage of mines is really high btw

fervent rose
#

im just saying i actually do die to mines as a tanker when im aggro. they work

agile pelican
#

Oh for sure

spiral folio
#

Yea like those shuttered windows on short buildings on renewal. C5 charge. Blast off panels

copper ice
#

all the more reason that tanks will never go aggro

fervent rose
#

thats like my 1 weakness, not looking for mines because so few people run them

agile pelican
#

Mines are strong but like tanks don't follow the road

copper ice
agile pelican
#

You can probably run up and toss Mines behind the tank and run at it towards the front with your grenade out

rocky kraken
#

renweal has the worst destruction of all the maps

keen sinew
#

you can use that as like c5

fervent rose
#

@agile pelican yea but you only need 2 and theres a lot of predictable spots you can use

keen sinew
#

and remember most of tanks go backward when taking damage

copper ice
fervent rose
#

throw it on top i think

copper ice
#

they're pretty lenient

#

Yeah

fervent rose
#

is how you play that

keen sinew
#

and if you throw it top it has a chance of dealing damage without taking any splash

agile pelican
#

Does shooting mines trigger them

copper ice
#

Yeah

fervent rose
#

of course ya

agile pelican

Don't mines do damage because it blows UNDER the tank tho

#

Because its not armored

fervent rose

not in this game its just a big boom

Oh

up or under it doesnt matter

two right next to it should work too

shoot it or grenade it etc

Do mines stay after death

i use it for teamkilling

Oh do ammo boxes still blow?

yes it's fantastic for those snipers who are 1-7 who dont push up

keen sinew

yes

I used to troll people that way

I had one kid badly try to tk me for a while. At first he kept tryint to ram me off a cliff then he used the crate and kept missing

I've had nobody get mad at me

It’s a shame they took out the 40x, you would have loved it

He never said anything either so

Hard to be a sniper in BF2042, I feel. So many other players.

So is Conquest the most popular mode? Do people play/enjoy other modes?

agile pelican

I think its fine

keen sinew

and it is useless 80% of the time

I logged in today and the battlepass stuff is missing from my account. But when I finished the first round, It showed battlepass progress, but still missing. Quit and tried to restart and it just won't start. After loading the anticheat it just dies and doesn't open. Repairing now, but I Just repaired a couple days ago

keen sinew
#

uhh

#

it is complicate

dense yew
#

What’s the S### numbers next to peoples names?

keen sinew
#

maybe connection between you and ea server are broken

keen sinew
dense yew
#

Aha thanks

keen sinew
#

or maybe try repair easyanticheat

#

its in your game folder-easyanticheat by exe

spiral folio
#

40x scope though like at 1000m you'll have 2m of drop. So a target at 1000m will appear like its 25m away....

I think even the railgun would have the shot fall off the scope with a zoom like that

sharp talon
#

Yeah so the anticheat finishes loading, there is a screen that opens, not full screen, but it's just blank stays open about 5 seconds then goes back to the launcher.

keen sinew
#

not any error?

#

windows?

edgy oriole

when that happens to me i just keep reopening it and it works aftera few times

sharp talon

No error, just the 1/2 screen black window that opens.. then just nothing.

This is in the EA desktop app via game pass.

the problem of ea hosting game is

it sometimes just cant launch fhe game

So is the AC9 the new OP weapon? I seem to keep getting waxed by it.

Kill EA app and all related items in Task Manager and see what happens

polar quartz
spiral folio
#

A 20x scope woukd be ok for 1000m but i think 40 would be too much

keen sinew
#

because of the connection issue with ea server

sharp talon
#

I've only started playing this a couple weeks ago, maybe 3. Until now the only issue I had sometimes was after a match I'd get a black screen and I'd have to force the game close because it wouldn't progress

spiral folio
#

Even then hope it's stationary

inner ether
keen sinew
#

the only solution for this

#

is keep trying to get in

sharp talon
keen sinew
#

with rebooting

inner ether
#

Some times if I tab the game down it refuses to tab back up too.

keen sinew
#

try another ea game

#

if it doesnt launch, then you have to try 2042 a few more times

sharp talon
#

uhm.. not sure if I have anything..let me check

keen sinew
#

their is no other way

spiral folio
#

Or wait 5 minutes

keen sinew
#

yes or waiting

spiral folio
#

If you cant connect to their specific server but youre clearly online. it could be any number of things

keen sinew
#

nice job ea

inner ether
#

Yeah I get that thing where it refuses to start too

#

Three wonderful features

keen sinew
#

the last time I get those error

sharp talon
#

I guess I shouldn't have quit then. I just wanted to get my battle pass menu back so I could see which missions I still had to do

keen sinew
#

5 of my dude had same thing at same time

spiral folio
#

Like if some people can connect and others cant. It could just be one specific regional server.

Nothing you can do to fix that but wait

dense yew
#

How long do anti tank mines persist?

spiral folio
#

If nobody can connect
Main servers down
All you can do is wait

keen sinew
#

and it happen several times a week

spiral folio
#

If your pc cant connect to anything well....

keen sinew
#

that is the problem with ea

spiral folio
#

Sometime they even admit it

#

Usually if somebodys asking "can anyone connect" and everyone goes "nobody all day" servers down

still vault
#

Just to not be helpful, I'm playing right now

keen sinew
#

like over 5 mins

still vault
#

until they explode or you leave the server

#

max 3 though

spiral folio
#

Also
If youre logged in and THEN the server goes down

Sometime you stay logged in

inner ether

Do they stay if you switch class?

keen sinew

you will never know

when you have to reboot

I don't like the new map tbh. but that's probably because I play 128p, it works a little better at 64p

spiral folio
#

"How did you improve the railgun"

"Made it impossible to mount a bipod or large scope. Increased the size of the capacitor so that the rifle is heavier and taller at the same time"

solid imp
#

I enjoy the new map but agree with some of the sniper/cliff criticisms although 64p is much much better than 128 and alleviates a lot of the problems

#

It's near the top of my list as far as overall funness (128p was not)

spiral folio
#

"How many charges can it hold at once"
"Not even one. It has to charge each time it fires and fires immediately when charged"
"That seems horrible and dangerous"

I think it's just because I have very little sense of what direction I will die from as every direction is pretty much always unsafe

It's just the map I die the most in ways I don't feel like I could have done something different. Looks great though.

Huh

is "conquest" map pool has portal maps or only "exodus conquest" has those

Do any of the maps have special destruction

For example in 3 you can topple a tower

The crane on that one map

Map wide events I guess is the better word

definitely no, besides maybe the orbital rocket explosion

keen sinew

not the Levoultion thing

thats the only thing like that

#

Another bf3 map had a huge satellite hanging on wires and crashes to the floor

#

And I think 4 had a dam break open?

i think it was bf4 but whatever

fervent rose

the tornados have the potential for cool destruction but so few things are destroyable

That was like the funniest part

like when it wipes out a forest area in orbital thats neat

They need to reign in the map edge on BT at that first sector

What’s the best weapon station on the LATV4 for infantry? I assume 40mm grenades?

You could hide a city in that forest

@naive magnet if you have someone driving you close sure

Ive had runs where the enemy defenders had 3 spawners min that right gully and theres no way to find it all

I’m going to be driving, so the goal is anti-infantry and reasonable speeds

I don’t know if the 30mm has any winning scenarios that the 40mm doesn’t

well the grenade launcher is good but most people are bad at using it

I like tow missile on mav

for killing infantry

dont use minigun as have way long ttk

@spiral folio railgun tanks force that to happen. you either run tow or you cant contest them

the other isnt that bad

So if you shoot at an angle your shot would hit the wing, body, then the next wing and do more damage

Like, giving Lis a SRAW would legitimately solve all of the issues with her that currently exist. DICE wants her to take skill to use? Hitting flying targets with the SRAW takes skill. Issues with Lis being able to engage vehicles without any line of sight or possible form of retaliation? The SRAW requires at least a direct line of sight to a target to work properly.

consider that there is a character in the game who's entire purpose is preventing you from locking onto things.

Honestly people not painting targets is a bigger issue than blasco countering it

i mean it's not like it's hard to do. Rao does by by default when you hack anything while playing as him.
