i like the game now

cloud agate
#

Okay

balmy cloud
#

i enjot it

copper ice
#

i agree 2042 was bad across the board

slender isle
#

Characters and gameplay is good

balmy cloud
#

but that perception of 2042 may never ever change

cloud agate
#

Me to. My favorite FPS RN

balmy cloud
#

partially, the perception of cyberpunk changed because of the show

#

they fixed a lot of things and it was looking up

slender isle
#

I have more playtime in 2043 than the rest of the franchise combined

balmy cloud
#

then the show came out, and they got the players back

#

and those players were like

#

hey wait a minute

copper ice
#

people are so fickle

balmy cloud
#

this game works well now! lets have fun!

#

but with 2042 there's no driving factor for people to come back

#

or even try it now

cloud agate
#

players been up 400% since December

balmy cloud
#

up from like 2000 dawg (on steam)

copper ice
#

the game hasnt improved enough to justify player comeback imo

wicked marsh
#

So true

cloud agate
#

It still has the lowest amount of monthly players but it’s better than before

#

Lowest amount of monthly players I mean across fps games mostly

slender isle
copper ice
#

squads are still borderline non-implemented, vehicle balance is atrocious, half the specialists are ass compared to the rest

slender isle
#

We didn’t dip below 6k during S3

wicked marsh
#

Cuz they only balance after casual opinions that feel like liz needs another 15 buffs and helis are still too op after getting so many things to spam them out of air

slender isle
copper ice
#

there is literally nothing to spam helis out of the air

slender isle
#

Stationary weapon placements on all maps please

copper ice
#

the issue with lis is that half the aircraft die in 1 hit from her and the transport helis die in like 6 hits

balmy cloud
#

i will say

copper ice
#

its silly

balmy cloud
#

the optimization has gotten much better

#

but its still not great

copper ice
#

grappling hook and strafe speed combo is so annoying

balmy cloud
#

to play

#

not to play against

copper ice
#

lots of things in 2042 feel like that

#

there's a limited amount of fun and if you aren't taking it from other people youre having it taken from you

slender isle
#

The RAM

copper ice
balmy cloud
slender isle
#

The RAM likes to Ram me into a wall

balmy cloud
#

BFV movement top tier bf movement

slender isle
#

It’s ass

#

Like terrible

#

Big booty

granite island
#

Grappling hook should one shot infantry

#

It's a big hook being shot to your body

drowsy rose
#

Holy shit

#

The vector is BAD

cloud agate
#

Mackay been great. Got tons of wins in tdm and taking out campers

arctic grove
slender isle
#

All the assault specialists are useful, samr with recon, and support

#

Engineer however…

#

Crawford in a tank or Liz doing Liz shit

cloud agate
#

Dozer is great for pushing tunnels and stuff

drowsy rose
#

Tor you gotta actually lead

slender isle
#

Liz has a horrific turn rate now

arctic grove
#

good

#

I mean

#

oh wow

drowsy rose
#

If you complain about the TOR then don't fly low

arctic grove
#

But below radar

copper ice
#

tor kills you at distance

#

height doesnt make much difference

arctic grove
#

Can’t the tor literally cross map snipe on spearhead?

copper ice
arctic grove
#

dafuq

drowsy rose
#

Believe or not it's not flat

copper ice
#

i agree the engies suck ass though

arctic grove
#

Spearhead is big but breaks it down relatively well imo

slender isle
#

Casper is good, rao is amazing, paik has a good passive for her gadget

#

Angel is meant to give ammo so…

#

Coming from a T1 rao, he’s good

arctic grove
#

I just wanna stuck someone with the SPH with Angel and hear he saying: "Ah Angel does it again"

slender isle
#

Best passive

ebon pilot
copper ice
#

casper drone is ridiculously good but has the downside of being fucking boring to use; its like commander mode, if you have someone dedicated to sitting in a bush and flying a drone all round and the enemy team doesnt then you're at a drastic advantage
its stupid

#

rao is absolutely not amazing

arctic grove
#

Casper drone after being small as hell and mobile at the same time

slender isle
#

Rao is fucking great

copper ice
#

paik passive is negated entirely by pressing q

slender isle
#

Paik passive is more for close range engagements. Is also good for ranged follow up shots

arctic grove
#

Nothing a good ol Rao hack can’t fix though, but only as long as the drone is within range to spot you back so you can hack it

I believe they added a light to the Casper drone to make it easier to see so you can switch to Rao to hack them as necessary

copper ice
ebon pilot

#

Assaults for aggressive players.

eager dragon
#

Hi, what does "one round" mean for the achievements? Is it in one life or the entire match?

copper ice
eager dragon
#

Ok good, wasn't sure how the hell you're supposed to do 3000 damage with the sentry gun in one life lol

arctic grove
#

You just do.

copper ice
arctic grove
#

Yes i'm here, somebody pinged me (skill issue)

ebon pilot
arctic grove
slender isle
arctic grove
#

I mean to me that sounds like free intel ribbons every 15 seconds but

ebon pilot
#

I like pointing the Rao hack in the direction of a ton of enemies and getting a million "enemy spotted" xp events

slender isle
#

Oh yeah cause is hack spots people around them

ebon pilot
#

yea idk why people are like "rao bad" when it spots everything

arctic grove
#

It’s super easy to do that rn

cloud agate
#

I’ve never played hazard is it any good?

arctic grove
#

but let’s not talk about it too much or else dice will get us CursedCat

slender isle
drowsy rose
#

"MUH HIND"

#

"Well if you shoot it when I hack it."

copper ice
slender isle
#

You jsut tell them to go away

#

A hack makes them leave

arctic grove
#

I thought about how OP putting a Rao on a little bird seat would be. Just fly up to helis, let the Rao player hack them, call it a day

copper ice
#

leave for 5 seconds

arctic grove
#

Oh trust me

slender isle
#

Then you hack them again

arctic grove
#

nothing escapes the little bird guns

copper ice
#

the same way an aa launcher makes them "leave"

arctic grove
#

if you’re within 100 meters unless you’re in a transport you will die

slender isle
#

But a hack is infinite

copper ice
#

the rao group spot doesn't work consistently in my experience as well

drowsy rose
#

Funny how you can shoot people out of the eats of the BOLTE and Hovercraft with ease

#

But littlebird is near impossible

arctic grove
#

Every time I try it’s like the game gets confused about where I’m shooting

drowsy rose
#

Helimain bias

arctic grove
#

I have an old clip of me shooting straight through a bolte windshield with the wildcat 30mm and not a damn thing happened

#

then I hilariously get out to shoot him with my gun, I die and he steals my wildcat

#

Not sure how I didn’t uninstall after that

copper ice
#

wildcat 30mm baby

#

cant do jack shit to anything

#

They probably have it set to not penetrate windows so that you can't kill heli pilots

tepid agate
#

25 wingman ribbons wth

#

Nah I'm using boins these missions taking too long

#

Ok used all the boins I saved managed to Juno to tier 37 now

keen sinew
#

can we rao hack same vehicle right after hacking duration is done

#

or is there initial cooldown on same vehicle

eager dragon
#

M5A3, AC-42 or RM68?

keen sinew
#

gonna choose rm68 until it nerf

eager dragon
#

Huh, wow, ok

keen sinew
#

m5a3 is still good within 40m btw

eager dragon
#

Maybe there's a reason why I see people using RM68

keen sinew
#

yes it is meta

#

I think after week 3 lots of people use that

drowsy rose
#

Haha gholy shit

#

The little SMG DMR is pretty peashooter

tawdry nebula
#

Is there a way I can report a visual glitch?

slender isle
#

Video it and post it on the forums

next onyx
#

The RM is pretty new as well Frost so people want to give it a go.

drowsy rose
#

MMMM

#

Okay I like the VCAR

copper ice

keen sinew
#

yeah thats not a good idea

neat crane
#

howcome breakthrough isnt on portal

keen sinew
#

idk

#

#

when they gonna fix low radar

neat crane

i luv batlfeeld 4220

arctic grove
#

i love battlefield: yelling edition

karmic egret
#

i spek engrish

hushed plinth
#

Does spawn beacon beep in 2042?

next onyx
#

I know it makes a noise.

#

But I can't recall it.

arctic grove
#

game should increase specialists' voices volume

#

and distance

hushed plinth
#

I was frantically looking for a beacon but i just couldn’t find it

keen sinew
#

I think it makes noise when spawn is happend

rocky bear
#

I thought it had an ambient beep

copper ice
#

It feels even more quiet than bfv beacon

next onyx
#

It has a distinct sound.

#

I certainly notice it.

keen sinew
#

tugs is louder than beacon thas for sure

tawdry nebula
next onyx
#

But I can't recall it.

slender isle
keen sinew
#

didn't know that

tawdry nebula
arctic grove
#

I remember when tugs did not radiate circle waves on the map

next onyx
#

?

arctic grove
#

you know tugs on the radar displays reverberating circles

keen sinew
#

uhh

#

bf4?

arctic grove
#

ya

keen sinew
#

i love that effect

arctic grove
#

oddly satisfying

keen sinew
#

jesus my mouse dead for 30 secs

keen sinew
arctic grove
#

remember when soldiers used to do war cries and yell

#

me either

sturdy socket
#

when's 4.0.1 being pushed again

arctic grove
#

why cant human beings in 2042 do that

keen sinew
#

or 13-03

arctic grove
#

am I the only one to complain

keen sinew
slender isle
keen sinew
#

cuz they cannot afford for this

arctic grove
arctic grove
#

Also I’m sure they can afford it they just rather do generic voice lines and have the job done which sucks

#

remember when they cared

#

BF3/4 and BF1 voice acting peak

#

everywhere I go, I hear genuine good gunshots and yelling in the distance

#

not so much in 42

#

4 without its bloom and a console fov slider and my life would be complete

#

bloom doesn't bother me

#

man up

#

and what console fov

#

Up to at least 100-105

#

you want more?

#

BF4 but better is a bit of an arbitrary goalpost depending on who you ask but I quite literally would just want that games theme with modern gameplay features and mechanics.

Basically an ordinary military vs military faction shooter

#

what I want bf4 to be better for me::

#

offline mode, AI bots, and some tweaked meta gadgets

#

oh and multiplayer modes

#

and WR will soon fulfill my wishes

#

Soon my brudda

warped kelp
#

The fall animation has to be worst thing a FPS can have. Who makes these decisions.

arctic grove
#

finally

#

I can have a proper match

#

like black ops training mode, but BF

#

Bots are generally good for casual play or for regions with lower player count

#

I just want to get away from player toxicity and abused meta

#

Definitely understandable

#

I imagine BF1 and V would be so fun with bots too

#

you seen the bf1 dev video?

#

we couldve had that!

#

Nope I haven’t but I can look for it on YouTube. What keywords are in the video title?

#

like bf1 bots

#

a dev explains bot usage for future project or something

#

That’s pretty darn cool

#

if only

#

they went for the extra mile

idle lion
#

there are 2 ways to solve the transport heli problem.

  1. Remove from game(very boring, but most dice like)
  2. Make them die to 2 shots instead of 4 from any rocket launcher
arctic grove
#

or

#

replace them with gunship instead

#

Don’t remove em, and don’t make ‘em 2 shot, 3 M5s is pushing it but it’s something I’m willing to settle for

However, perhaps it’s time to retire the 40mm

copper ice
#

3 rpg shots for a heli is pretty high

#

especially considering they have repair

#

right now they're like 5 m5s with repair

#

and repair bots on the inside too

arctic grove
#

True

#

I wouldn’t even mind the 5 m5s if they weren’t armed tbh

hushed plinth
#

why isn't m5 a 1 hit anyways

copper ice
#

We're a long way from the 1hk on heli with rpg days

cold flame
#

Bro what.

#

Why did my Missions reset?

hushed plinth
#

it's not guided

cold flame
#

They were all completed.

arctic grove
#

M5 is a one hit on most of the aircraft

copper ice
#

because,,, uhhh,,, 128p

arctic grove
#

Of course besides the funne transports

hushed plinth
#

well not the transport heli

cold flame
#

Does anyone know why my Missions have been reset?

hushed plinth
#

i hate it when the pilot was flying worse than a bot and he flew away before i gave him the last blow

sturdy socket
#

3 M5's to take down a transport seems reasonable

#

after all it was 2 in BF4

#

dealt 60 didn't itt

#

in any case people only repair in the transport helis because they're so damn good

next onyx
#

I swear on transports it's a 3HK instead of a 4.

sturdy socket
#

you never see 2 repairmen in the bf4 transports

#

mostly because there's no frontal gunner

next onyx
#

I guess 4HK because of self repair and all that.

sturdy socket
#

and people don't understand how amazing the transport's miniguns are

#

it fucking wrecks, jets especially

next onyx
#

I miss bf4 TR choppers.

#

Hell on hardline they were incredible.

#

They were good but they were also really niche.

#

Cause they could end up as dead weight.

sturdy socket
#

choppers in 2042 are god tier but for how the vehicles are right now, not balanced

next onyx
#

Or as a genuine threat.

#

They need a rework from the ground up.

#

That's the issue with them.

sturdy socket
#

MBTs are still bottom feeders

#

tor tank is just it but better

#

enjoy getting mauled from enemy spawn because you decided to fly, dumbshit

next onyx
#

Honestly Tanks are pretty good in my experience but in comparison to everything else they've been overshadowed.

#

TOR and the MBT kinda have different niches though.

#

TOR is a great long range mauler.

sturdy socket
#

except you do good in a tank and every player in a 2km radius starts raging and wingsuiting towards you to C5

next onyx
#

MBT can push.

sturdy socket
#

or you just get bombed by a stealth heli

next onyx
#

Yeah that happens in the TOR regardless unfort.

#

Less likely cause you're at the edge.

#

But still.

sturdy socket
#

oh yeah speaking of armor

#

the cav's guns are fucking shit

#

there is a problem right now

copper ice
#

TOR is way too weak against infantry

sturdy socket
#

with both the main and secondary of the cav brawler

next onyx
#

The CASE shells are alright but the minigun - slot is odd.

sturdy socket
#

that causes the momentum the vehicle is currently being subjected to to fuck with the weapons

#

so if your cav brawler driver is going in a direction, your gun will shoot 2cm left or right or up or down of your actual crosshair

copper ice
#

Its bugged?

sturdy socket
#

it is downright unacceptable

copper ice
#

lmao

sturdy socket
#

YES

acoustic seal
#

oh yeah the cav guns inherit velocity for god knows what reason

sturdy socket
#

hold on

copper ice
#

holy shit

sturdy socket
#

i fucking have video footage

copper ice
#

you have to be kidding me

sturdy socket
#

oh my god it is unbearable

#

one sec

copper ice
#

there's no way

sturdy socket
#

lett me get it

#

FUCKING WAY

next onyx
#

As if you're an infantry playing chucking C4.

copper ice
#

they can't have fucked up yet again

next onyx
#

Hoohoohoo

sturdy socket
#

the light machine gun is so gd weak too

copper ice
sturdy socket
#

but let me get the clip

#

i for sure have it

acoustic seal
copper ice
#

it really goes to show the power of cope

next onyx
#

For a ranged gun it's alright but it's... eh.

#

Heavy round buff will make it better.

copper ice
#

i went through both swbf2 and bfv and yet i still cannot believe this happens

next onyx
#

The worst bug I experienced was bback at hardline where our loadouts kept on resetting at the start of every match.

#

And because patches took a few months to happen we had to deal with it for so fucking long.

next onyx
#

Oh I was thinking of the incendiaries not the LMG.

sturdy socket
#

i think it still would apply there actually

next onyx
#

I thought something was off during Co op but I attributed that to the low tick rate there.

sturdy socket
#

this also applies to CASE and APDS

#

it's a really bad issue that's souring my enjoyment

#

this definitely isn't intended

next onyx
#

The game's performance is dictated by the servers tick rate. It's why old gen 2042 sucks more than it should.

#

Get the pp29 and use it against players, then go to co op and see how wildly different it feels.

#

yeah.

copper ice
#

lmfao holy shit

#

there's no way no one noticed that during testing

#

so they really thought that was just acceptable in the meantime

fervent rose
#

keanu internal testing

sturdy socket
#

i don't know how it might have slipped past if it did

#

but it's fucked

copper ice
#

game performs so bad no one will notice

sturdy socket
#

on the other hand, I have extremely positive things to say about the APDS

copper ice
#

ship it and fix it 3 months later

sturdy socket
#

it is AWESOME as a defensive anti vehicle weapon

#

CDS as well is awesome

copper ice
#

i have certainly noticed brawler being a massive pain to take down

sturdy socket
#

cds is basically the Typhoon from DX:HR/MD

#

shoots a lot of grenades around you and blows shit up

#

particularly good if someone is hiding behind cover you're right next to, for C5 users or for tight chokepoints

#

wish it was a little smaller though, cause it barely fails to fit in the corridors of C1 on Exposure

#

otherwise awesome vehicle besides the velocity glitch

#

20mm anti air also sucks for the third seat btw

#

don't bother

#

you're better off with the minigun unironically

copper ice
#

can spawn the entire team, resistant to c5, has close range grenades on top of that and APS

next onyx
#

I wonder why it applies to the brawler specifically not the MAV or anything else.

copper ice
arctic grove
#

Guys

copper ice
arctic grove
#

I have the 2042 version of the animan meme

copper ice
#

i never would have guessed that

sturdy socket
#

still holy shit man

#

it could stand to be even remotely rewarding for good shots

arctic grove
#

I put the new forgis on the jeep

sturdy socket
#

my prediction for guns is really good on vehicles

acoustic seal
#

i've played a lot of really dogshit dota matches that were less infuriating than this game is on a daily basis

sturdy socket
#

transport 50mms and 40mms

#

40mms on the transport rock and are better than the 50's if you can aim well

#

really quick reload time, good damage, all you need is your pilot to get close if you're dogfighting

copper ice
next onyx
#

Really the only thing you can't do with the 40 mil is attack vehicles which honestly whatever.

copper ice
#

that is insanely fucked up that a grenade launcher is decent in dogfighting

sturdy socket
#

it's mostly because I have a buddy who i'm in comms with as a pilot

#

and because I can predict the fuck out of the weapons

#

since going up = your gun velocity adjusts accordingly

#

so i just pull hard

copper ice
#

the reload speed on the 40mms is insane

buoyant trail
#

I do far bettet with the 50 on transports than the 40

sturdy socket
#

i think it's 1 grenade per second

#

or faster

#

it's sick

copper ice
#

they have no right being that high

sturdy socket
#

hey, cmon

dapper river
#

Anyone else get scared shitless when someone is shooting at you and missing with the M39 and it plays the "sniper near miss" sound over and over again? 343

sturdy socket
#

don't give them ideas

#

it takes good aim to use effectively

#

with how velocity works

copper ice
#

big capacity is one thing for strafing runs but being able to just hover and shit nades is agonising

sturdy socket
#

transport health buff next update will probably alleviate it because hovering will get you killed way faster

warped kelp
copper ice
#

only if people shoot it

slender isle
sturdy socket
#

and hopefully in 4.1.0 javelins get that line of sight and velocity buff

copper ice
#

if they dont change flares its still gonna suck

sturdy socket
#

and then SOFLAM is a viable option again for taking out vehicle whores

slender isle
#

Shouldn’t be able to flare once getting hacked, or if you do it cuts the flare timer in half

copper ice
#

only if people arent running lis

#

🥹

copper ice
#

and the flares last like 6 seconds

sturdy socket
#

i love all the people firing Lissiles at my apache knowing that 90% of them won't hit

slender isle
#

That’s my point, cut the timer in half

sturdy socket
#

there's still a select few who actually think they can triple back and hit you again

copper ice
#

there's no alternative man

slender isle
#

If you have flares out but get hacked, it should either stop the flare process or half it

copper ice
#

you nust have to shoot anf pray

sturdy socket
#

i run crawford and the M5, i have pretty decent odds

copper ice
keen sinew
#

condor stinger might work

sturdy socket
#

but if you want to nail vehicle players, the javelin really needs its due buff

keen sinew
#

hind or nightbird or atck heli? nah

slender isle
#

I said it during S2 and was told to shut up. Bro air vehicle are Op as fuck cause nothing does damage

sturdy socket
#

if you want laser designation heaven, BF4 is where that is

#

because of one thing, the suav

copper ice
#

flares just break combat too much

keen sinew
#

and they put soflam under the ground

sturdy socket
#

yeah, lower their duration to like 60-70% of what they are rn

cinder apex
#

I hardly ever people laser designate in bf4 and if someones using the suav

keen sinew
#

"teamplay!"

cinder apex
#

All they do is just try to run people over

#

And not laser

#

Which is also me I do that too

sturdy socket
#

most suav users are morons

#

not my squadmate though

agile pelican
#

FLARES? Like the stuff you use in caves?

copper ice
#

i wish

agile pelican
#

Ive not seen one person use it

copper ice
#

i miss bfv flare gun

keen sinew
#

no a flare that air vehicle can throw

agile pelican
#

Oh are you referring to helicopters

sturdy socket
#

i miss the suav even though it'll never be added again

#

at least soflam lasts a long time here

cinder apex
#

They should add a weapon sight that laser designates anything you point at

slender isle
#

Should make AA missiles faster

cinder apex
#

That would be so funny and totally not op

slender isle
#

Both on vehicles and on land

agile pelican
#

The recon darts should be permanent til shot off or something

copper ice
#

the issue is lis not being able to utilize target lock

warped kelp
slender isle
copper ice
#

even if you get a lock on something with no flares hardly anyone will utilize it when at least 60% of all engies are lis

sturdy socket
#

flares shouldn't take them off period

#

they should stay until removed

slender isle
cinder apex
#

Are you able to damage people with the tracer darts like in hardline

sturdy socket
#

one guy suggested you need to repair tool to remove it as a mechanic

cinder apex
#

Or can you not do that

cinder apex
#

Wow

#

Got buffed

copper ice
#

you can lock onto a dart thats on a human

sturdy socket
#

that's about all the good the tracer dart is for

slender isle
#

You can also just lock onto it when it’s on a building or area

warped kelp
acoustic seal
cinder apex
#

I love locking onto meat humans with a javelin

copper ice
slender isle
acoustic seal
#

only idiots did

slender isle
agile pelican
#

Forgive me for gun talk but aren't javelins the missiles that go up then come down on the target location

cinder apex
#

Yeah

slender isle
#

Which is stupid

slender isle
#

Okay?

cinder apex
#

Bf5 over 2042 any day

#

Even launch bf5

copper ice
#

javelin goes straight unless the target is target locked by recon, then it hits vertically

sturdy socket
#

any smart vehicle players uses APS or other countermeasures to break the lock of a javelin when they get fired on

slender isle
#

Is the recon dart not just a worse soflam now?

sturdy socket
#

then retreat into cover

#

and then you can't lock them because they're behind a building or rock or whatever

agile pelican
#

The recon dart is useless

sturdy socket
#

and then they recharge it and get right back to pounding your team's ass

copper ice
#

i gave up on that literally the first round after dart was added and i tested it

sturdy socket
#

that's the damage the line of sight nerf did to the javelin

agile pelican
#

There is no reward for sticking it onto vehicles

warped kelp
#

Bf5 was a refined game, 2042 is not. Still there hell lot of bugs and basic features missing.

cinder apex
#

It feels like hitting vehicles with rockets does like no damage at all anyway

agile pelican
#

It comes off almost instanteously

slender isle
#

BfV is refined?

unborn herald
#

so is bf2042 gonna cut support, been 2 years

cinder apex
#

It takes like 7 rockets to kill an attack helicopter

#

Maybe more

not only is dart shit for its actual role, it entirely lacks utility and ui feedback for actually hitting vehicles

what I like about bf5 is that at least it had a campaign

and 60% of engies cant even utilize target lock because they're playing lis

if it had a niche it would be useful

We have concept art for the map too

ok good

bare minimum it should stay even after flares are used

its like they're allergic to flares

it doesn't look like they will, yeah

S5 is announced, but we don’t know if there will be a S6 or a S9 or whatever

they nerfed the balls out of the TGM so potentially

copper ice
warped kelp
#

They will abandon like bf5 after S5. Next bf.

but nonetheless Javelins still need their velocity buff and line-of-sight requirement removed

If you tag a vehicle with a tracer you deserve more than 2 seconds of fame

i cant even tell if ive tagged a vehicle because 0 ui for it

no points

no assist

how is this acceptable

agile pelican
#

Older battlefields gave you points for tags

#

Idk why this one doesnt

copper ice
#

this is literally the bare minimum

because this game is dogshit

#

lacking basic features even a year after release

#

new content is consistently bugged

I feel like some of the newer console kids are cracked

dire quarry
#

fellow gamers - in what world would I want to choose the pbx smg? It's dogshit compared to what it was on launch

keen sinew
#

it is most poweful smg in the game with close combat rounds

#

go back and use it

copper ice
#

this provides you with 850rpm 20m 4btk with a 35 mag on a gun with very serviceable hipfire if you have a laser

dire quarry
#

oh, interesting - those rounds say better recoil control as well

keen sinew
#

yes

copper ice
#

i honestly have noticed absolutely no difference in recoil with any of the different ammo types on any weapon but it might be there

keen sinew
#

usually recoil value goes from high power > standard > close combat

dire quarry
#

Well reason why I'm confused on the pbx's role is how much recoil it has

keen sinew
#

but it negates with rate of fire

dire quarry
#

cuz the pp-2000 is great at range

keen sinew
#

PBX is bad at range because of damage drop

#

but it would be okay until like 30m?

#

and use AR for midrange its broken

copper ice
#

pp-2000 has stupid good damage values but suffers from being a portal weapon

dire quarry
keen sinew
#

was pp2000 4htk at 40m?

copper ice
#

the mp9 is basically a worse ac9 in every measure

#

the ac9 is very solid but pbx still has faster kill times

keen sinew
dire quarry
keen sinew
#

faster you shoot, more bloom it does

copper ice
#

im not sure anything actually beats pbx for kill times, 4btk 850rpm is remarkably fast

dire quarry
#

Hmmm, I'll take another go with those close combat rounds for the pbx, but imo ac9 is the best rn

copper ice
#

20m is cherry on top

#

im very fond of the ac9 too

keen sinew
#

AC9 is good

copper ice
#

theres also the pp29 for bigmag action

keen sinew
#

i think it same as good as PBX so use what you want

dire quarry
#

oh yah, I bounce between all weapons - was just curious about the pbx cuz it seems like the worst smg now to me

copper ice
#

i didn't like the pbx at all until i found out about cqc ammo

keen sinew
#

everyone does that

#

untill some guy said it is 200ms in 20m.

dire quarry
keen sinew
#

much broken version

dire quarry
#

oh, interesting, rpm is higher with the cqc bullets too

#

Yeah, with these rounds it feels better already

holy crap

fps didnt go above 110

got 140-150 on 128 players server

didnt expect that

i dont mind the 95% usage its a ryzen 6 core anyways

at 6 cores/threads the fps was suffering but only had 80% so i guess it works but not worth it

rage sundancers when spamming c5 onto a cav doesn't instantly kill it like with every other vehicle

noooo it's op!!!!

it's unfortunate that immediately equipping c5 is the go-to for anyone who gets pounded by a ground vehicle

but why doesn't the cav get killed by C5?

upbeat sand

What happends if I exist steam while 2042 is open

It was built with that on mind.

It takes full damage from rockets and tanks.

upbeat sand

Cause all it needs is Ea app but uses steam to download and verify offical key

But C4 does 25 a bit.

so basically you run the Recoilless to deal with the CAV

upbeat sand
next onyx
#

Yeah mines are nukes regardless KEK.

eager spire

but yeah turns out there's a few clips of that weejobie guy just cheating. At this point i couldn't tell you why he's banned, maybe how player bans work is just that obtuse, or they don't care.

either option is likely at this point

Poor lis just in the background out of focus in the loading screen

eager spire

more like lis should be out of the game

sturdy socket

the Lis nerf was what was really needed, but the jav buff and a nerf to flares would improve the game further

eager spire

Lis should've been reworked.

like she would've 100% not been a problem if she was just reworked to give her a SRAW as her gadget instead of TV missiles

mackay is the one who needs a rework

sturdy socket
#

yeah, rework him by removing him

eager spire
karmic egret
#

yeah sundance

eager spire
#

There is not just one character who's poorly designed.

sturdy socket
#

there's a reason i refer to players who use him as "MacGay users"

#

so

karmic egret
#

liz mackay and sundance need reworks

sturdy socket
#

sadly no such name exists for Lis users

eager spire
#

gay people can strafe around corners really fast

sturdy socket
#

mackay's grapple hook is fine i guess, but that ads move speed needs to be swapped to something else

eager spire
#

what could it be swapped with?

karmic egret
#

mackays trait and ability needs to be reworked, sundace should only have a parachute and liz... i dunno what to do with liz

eager spire
#

what would still be useful?

sturdy socket
#

lul get rid of lis

sturdy socket
#

or like people recommend, sraw

eager spire
#

It's not a hard solution

sturdy socket
#

though at that point

#

get rid of lis

#

just make the sraw a launcher option

eager spire
#

DICE aren't going to get rid of an entire specialist

sturdy socket
#

no shit

karmic egret
#

ah i know what to do with mackay

sturdy socket
#

but at that point you may as well lmao

next onyx
karmic egret
#

give him a mortar

eager spire
#

like if this game were still getting new specialists that'd be fine but considering it's not, removing Lis at this point would be detrimental.

eager spire
karmic egret
#

one shot only

next onyx
#

I don't mind the ADS speed but I do mind it when you deal with someone who crouch spams with that extra mobility.

sturdy socket
#

watch everyone complain on reddit

eager spire
next onyx
#

Even when I play as Zain it's a habit and I should be punished for it, But I'm not.

karmic egret
#

nah mackays ability is if you strafe the game uninstalls itself

eager spire
#

Maybe for going prone it'd make sense, but crouching?

next onyx
#

Kek.

#

That'd be fun to watch for one patch.

sturdy socket
#

more like spitballing

#

actually

#

yeah it would

#

why not fix what bf4 didn't

next onyx
#

I'd be up for players losing speed when they crouch.

eager spire
#

maybe BF4 didn't fix it because it didn't need to be fixed.

sturdy socket
#

similar to when I said you should be heavily penalized in accuracy in both ADS and hipfire while jumping in bf4

elfin plank
#

Punish players for being good. by making everyone suck

sturdy socket
#

you should be penalized in accuracy in both ADS and hipfire for 0.5s after crouching

next onyx
#

Players should be rewarded yeah but the crouch spam and shit shouldn't be so rewarding.

karmic egret
sturdy socket
#

4 didn't penalize jumping basically for ADSing

#

so go on any locker server

#

and you'll see every person pretending they're Ravic or something jumping around a corner and ADSing

elfin plank
#

i dont think nerfing a legit strate is it chief

sturdy socket
#

that's the outcome of not penalizing shitty behavior

eager spire
elfin plank
#

id rather die to a duel like that over a boris sitting in a corner counting his brain cells

karmic egret
#

what about the bunny hopping

sturdy socket
#

he didn't, but i'm using the example that he's a highly skilled player

karmic egret
#

or has that been patched

eager spire
#

in what

#

BF4? or 2042?

sturdy socket
#

and the people who exclusively run the AEK and only play Op. Locker try to imitate him

karmic egret
#

2042

sturdy socket
#

both actually but I'm referring to 4 here

#

oh lmao

eager spire
#

I think bhopping is still a thing in 2042?

elfin plank
#

this is the one instance where ill say learn to adapt and counter instead of reaching for a nerf

sturdy socket
#

anyway so yeah; introduce a nerf where for a flat 0.5s after hitting crouch your accuracy immediately gets penalized regardless of if it's in ADS or hipfire

#

there, no more crouch spam

#

the crouch spam you do see is laughed off and they get shot in the face for it

snow badge
#

Only thing ruining the game for me atm is the ridiculous screen shake after landing with a parachute

elfin plank
#

gun play is already mediocre why muddy the waters more because you dont like it?

eager spire
#

i still don't think that's a reasonable change.

elfin plank
#

sturdy socket
#

it'd be hilarious for starters

next onyx
#

Ironically. Back at bf5 my mate would always crouch in the start of a gunfight, But it was never overbearing.

sturdy socket
#

but if you have a better idea i wanna hear it

karmic egret
#

thats how the marines done it back then

next onyx
#

Just crouch mind you, Not spam it.

sturdy socket
#

i hate referring to CSGO at all but you can't crouch spam in that game

karmic egret
#

some poor japanese soldiers sees a crouch spamming marine

snow badge
sturdy socket
#

it literally forces it to not happen

#

you can't spam it

eager spire
elfin plank
#

fighting someone who uses crouching in their fighting? you can easily adapt and learn to counter.

fighting in a tank and anticipating the c5 seeing the ape bum rush you and blow you up? almost unavoidable because ground vehicle mobility and turret traverse is god awful

sturdy socket
#

that's a given, i'm talking about people who ads straight after landing

eager spire
#

I don't see why that's a problem.

elfin plank
#

me neither. why cry nerf over something thats not broken

frail abyss
#

why i can't launch bf2042 at all?

Me using console aim assist to dunk on people who corner hop

i really dont understand this mindset
