BFV has them for three maps

wooden briar
#

No

still vault
#

Always on, wanna play with friends on other platforms and have a large pool of people to play with. EU.

grand galleon
#

Should I use lwg or cobra grip

wooden briar
#

Bf5 has the same theme for every map

grand galleon
#

Should I use lwg or cobra grip

next onyx
#

Bf5 has different themes depending on the map but there's no difference between winning and losing.

#

LWG.

copper fulcrum
#

Some Pacific Maps have different songs for who wins but it's not exactly a defeat/winning theme

#

It changes based on who wins but it's the same tune just different instruments

wooden briar
#

I know

#

But hardline theme was sick

next onyx
#

Actually that's right. In the pacific theatre there are two. Iwo jima and Solomon islands.

velvet spindle
#

Turned on crossplay and straight in poggies

next onyx
#

I remember hearing that losing theme in the beta.

#

Oh man.

plush hollow
#

@velvet spindle

#

Wanna play together

next onyx
#

On heist they already got one bag away so we had to really play defensively. That thumping running in the background was tense as hell.

grand galleon
#

Should I use arcom tactical muzzle brake or extended barrel on Ak 24

next onyx
#

And then the music gets louder the closer they get to the last point with the bag.

#

Arcom with extended yeah.

#

Arcom with drums as an assault works too.

velvet spindle
grand galleon
next onyx
#

Oh wait extended barrel.

plush hollow
#

That’s fine I run engineer but I just wanna mic up

next onyx
#

Ignore the extended barrel and just use Arcom.

limpid pond
#

Yo I lowkey wish we had a modern sten

#

Like another version of the sten but modern

#

a sterner stern

copper fulcrum
#

Let's modernize a bunch of pipes put together

radiant prism
#

The Sterling SMG

#

That’s pretty much it

next onyx
#

Was gonna say.

#

We have the Sterling.

I just saw a post on Reddit and it brought some thought.

Is the wildcat too tanky for how it's used? If you manage to sneak up on one in a chopper you still cannot take it out with anything but c5, but that defeats the point of being able to kill it in the air.

still vault
#

Battlefield is built upon a rock paper scissor foundation. Everything doesn't need to be able to beat everything. It's a teamgame, sometimes you have to rely on your teammates.

fervent rose
#

if a medic can't equip a rocket launcher to deal with tanks, why should air vehicles be able to dunk on mobile AA without extensive effort?

edgy oriole
#

jets counter wildcat fine

#

i only play conquest when im forced

pine fossil
#

is battlepass bugged atm? I don't make any progress anymore

fervent trellis
#

could just be that you completed the weekly challenges

#

it goes way slower then XD

pine fossil
#

not making ANY ppints. I m not talking about slpwer... Im talking about not getting any points at all anymore

spiral folio
#

The way i put teamgamea is you give your allies opportunities to help but you cant expect them to.

Ie spotting enemies so allies might shoot em. Healing allies so they have more chance to protect you, giving allies ammo ever so they can shoot back... damaging vehicles so the next guys attack can maybe kill it

#

But that said
Reduce risk to yourself because you can't count on allies to heal. Dont waste ammo because ammo boxes don't exist and dont expect an ally to kill the helo for you.

#

Actually battlefield is just about getting kills and camo. Objectives? 🤢

wooden briar
#

Shite

#

Game

spiral folio
#

Nobody forces ya to be here

#

🚪

wooden briar
#

Ill surely leave

next onyx
#

I don't find ammo too annoying to come by but they do need to improve the capacities for other guns for their classes.

spiral folio
#

I barely need ammo with the rail

next onyx
#

I main assault with assault rifles and those three extra mags last such a long time.

spiral folio
#

Well and close range you get pickups anyway

#

Those are eaten up by the time i get there

next onyx
#

Yeah that too. I do often die before I fully run out anyways.

spiral folio
#

Or like if defense never

next onyx
#

Rarely do I need to change my mag on the scar.

spiral folio
#

If a round is intense enough I might run low on rail ammo

#

But like i wont bother with the ntw

next onyx
#

On semi auto the railgun ammo lasts a long time anyways but on full auto its sort of different.

spiral folio
#

I think they should have made like a slow-auto for it instead of like a fast burst

inner ether
#

why are defenders so damned bad right now?

#

What's so hard about getting on the point?

spiral folio
#

Like if there were 2 capacitors with like half power of the 1 shot, youd basically have one thst could kind of chug shots like the slow-mode BAR

#

Ive used the burst a few times

#

Not if I can avoid it

midnight hawk
spiral folio
#

Long range players

#

But mostly new players

#

Like dont know the map or weapons so theyre too cautious

midnight hawk
#

makes for easy pickings tho CursedCat

fervent rose
inner ether
fervent rose
#

just compared to the other meh weapon specializations

lilac dust
#

The rush layout for flashpoint is pretty much just the breakthrough layout lol .... Was hoping we'd go in the tunnel in a mode besides conquest

midnight hawk
inner ether
#

not*

#

A Mackay just rapelled behind people and killed them all because they were tunnel-visioning in the same direction

midnight hawk
#

a Mackay doing their job? :0

spiral folio
#

Wish you could use mackays grapple to swing

#

Like control the reel in

prime ember
#

will we have skins for vault weapons ?

mellow wave
#

anyone else getting weird stuttering in bf?

midnight hawk
fervent rose
#

it doesnt control like tf/apex grapple

spiral folio
#

Well it would entirely change how it works

#

As of now physics stops existing when you grapple

fervent rose
#

and you can "sort of" swing with sideways grapples

spiral folio
#

Yea physics unexisting intensifies

fervent rose
#

but you still aren't doing like a hang time move, your grapple is always retracting

next onyx
#

Hold the fire button to hold in place .

spiral folio
#

Yes gravity does work even on moving objects

inner ether
next onyx
#

That'd be cool. To just set it loose, draw in and swing across.

fervent rose
#

you can make it slower or faster with w/s

#

thats it tho

spiral folio
#

Yea like grapple the corner of a building and jump off. Pause grapple and swing around

next onyx
#

Speed feels about the same.

#

Weirdly.

inner ether
#

I refuse to play Defense right now

fervent rose
#

it's very miniscule but theres some wasd control

inner ether
#

I've not won on defense in 3 days

next onyx
#

Yeah there's control but not much.

fervent rose
#

i just noticed if i held certain button combos i'm way less likely to vault up

next onyx
#

I always do it away from the ledge so I can fly off and land instead of mantling.

fervent rose
#

yeah timing it too

next onyx
#

Won't lie.

spiral folio
#

But yea, if they gave more control of the grapple theyd have to rethink how the grapple behaves

next onyx
#

Pulling it off without a mantle feels amazing.

spiral folio
#

As of now you dont fall if you grapple horizontally

fervent rose
#

and jumping right as you mackay grapple does some cool stuff sometimes

next onyx
#

I've never jumped really.

fervent rose
#

not always useful

next onyx
#

Doesn't jumping dismount?

fervent rose
#

no i mean right before you fire it

#

so you are technically higher up

next onyx
#

Oh yeah to get that bit of height.

fervent rose
#

and speed for those horizontal grapples

spiral folio
#

If the grapple could go 2 miles and you grappled a building top youd never fall an inch with how the grapple goes now

fervent rose
#

but yea it helps with vertical stuff too

#

like i'll jump away from a wall, 180 and grapple up

#

just grappling from the ground feels sluggish

spiral folio
#

Anchor the grapple to the ground and grapple low flying aircraft

grand galleon
#

Should I use 6ku or wrapped suppressor

fervent rose
#

uh 99% of the time use wrapped. but on a couple guns like the scar 6ku doesnt have the damage downsides

grand galleon
#

Wish wrapped didn’t look so ugly bruh💀💀

fervent rose
#

like it technically lowers the damage on scar with 6ku but it doesnt change bullets to kill or time to kill

#

might be an oversight

next onyx
#

Before it made a difference on players with 10 armour.

#

But now it doesn't.

midnight hawk
#

you can use whatever you want as long as you click on their heads

next onyx
#

Rm277 with 6ku and beam across the map yes.

#

Infact the only thing 6ku stops you from doing now is 2hk to the head on players with armour.

#

On a 28 damage gun.

#

Christ I'm obsessed with the rm.

radiant prism
#

Just like me and DOZE-yeah ok I’m overdoing this bit

grand galleon
#

Should I use wrapped suppressor or 6ku on my m5a3

quaint vector
#

Wrapped

arctic grove
#

Why did they make the RPT an actual laser beam??

grand galleon
#

Should I use m5a3 or acw-r

radiant prism
#

Because it’s a slow rate of fire gun

#

Meant for long range

fervent rose
#

acw-r is probably the worst AR

radiant prism
#

RPT also feels hella bouncy to me for the most part

fervent rose
#

unless it got secret buffs

radiant prism
#

Also yeah don’t use ACW

fervent rose
#

and wrapped on m5a3 @grand galleon

grand galleon
#

Alr

radiant prism
#

I recently got the MTAR to T1

#

MTAR is quite fun if you can unlock the A-91 first lol

grand galleon
#

Wish they added a 64v64

radiant prism
#

They did, standard CQ is 64v64

spiral folio
#

They should add actual lasers so people stop calling everything else a laser

grand galleon
radiant prism
grand galleon
#

It’s 32v32

fervent rose
#

railgun AR is a laser

radiant prism
fervent rose
#

but too annoying to bother with when other guns are just as accurate

spiral folio
#

Even the rail has drop

inner ether
#

uh

#

excuse me

#

but I think I've seen a new bug

arctic grove
#

they should try 128 vs 128

radiant prism
#

The one where I’m good at the game?

inner ether
#

A TOR tank just shot at me, but it shot 4-5 shots in one go.

#

It wasn't one single beam

spiral folio
#

It didn't

inner ether
#

It was a burst of shots

spiral folio
#

Or catastrophic lag

inner ether
#

Aah

spiral folio
#

Especially with kill shots theres more chance of lagging weird

sullen merlin
spiral folio
#

All railguns have drop

sullen merlin
#

Bruh since when

spiral folio
#

End of story

#

Since ever

sullen merlin
#

There’s like none 💀

spiral folio
#

Whats thr furthest shot youve made with one

sullen merlin
#

I send a clip

spiral folio
#

If you make a shot with the rifle at 1000m there will be about 2m of drop

#

The velocity is about 2000m/s so the distance is traversed in half a second

#

In that period, the shot falls about 2m

#

So if you're sniping with the rail youll want to slightly aim up

#

Or control the rifle away to try to

sullen merlin
#

Ik there’s drop but it’s minimal

spiral folio
#

500m youll aim about half a person above them

#

250m about a heads height above

silk surge
#

Oh wow, my Blasco KD is 4 😮

spiral folio
#

Just because you dont notice a drop doesnt mean its not there.

sullen merlin
#

Ik there’s drop omg 😂

#

I said there’s not a lot

spiral folio
#

Below 200m you wont really pay attention to it

#

You can see it if you fire at flying stuff and see the delay better

next onyx
#

3.42 kpm with the rm277.

#

Good God.

Does this achievement "Perform 20 melee kills in one round" counts with Throwing Knife too?

grand galleon

#

There’s no 128p on last Gen

radiant prism
#

Oh wait achievement

#

I’m stupid

grand galleon
#

Should I use champion muzzle brake or wrapped suppressor on m5a3

radiant prism
#

I don’t think so though

#

Just use Dozer’s shield

arctic grove
#

Dozer's Shield is considered melee?

playing BFV for some reason, gunplay feels worse than I remember. 2042 feels way better

radiant prism
arctic grove
#

Longer range shots unless you’re using rifles n stuff you gotta tap fire

next gulch
#

yeah the recoil is nuts

arctic grove
#

It helps keep gunfight ranges closer in a way, it does do that to a degree

fervent rose
#

high rate of fire guns in bfv have genuine recoil

next gulch

idk how on earth I used the STG for so long in BFV

stg44 was ruined in that ttk rebalance patch @next gulch

it wasnt that bad originally

they messed with the hrec

What is the best way to send EA feedback on 2042?

arctic grove
fervent rose
#

i used stg44 all the time with 3x back in the first year

next gulch
#

same I also used 3x scope on stg

#

that was good

fervent rose
#

since ttk rebalance i havent used it more than once

#

maybe twice

#

like it is so bad

next gulch
#

I mostly played lewis gun, though. Because the MMGs were just......no

arctic grove
next gulch
#

@arctic grove yeah Im so used to being able to manage recoil in long range engagements in 2042, BFV not happening unless you tap fire like you said

fervent rose
#

2042's gunplay is way way way easier

acoustic seal
#

remember bf1 when engagement ranges were actually enforced by weapon mechanics?

fervent rose
#

except for semi autos i guess. bfv had those on ez mode

radiant prism
arctic grove
#

2042s gunplay is good but all I ask of it is to break gunfights down more, the more I think about this the more I realize that large maps aren’t necessarily an issue, but gunplay needs to have a proper balance with it

radiant prism
#

Sweet spot does enforce engagement ranges sure, but with the small side effect of being fucking stupid

Is anyone else experiencing an issue when starting BF2042 where EAC splash screen is up for several seconds then it opens EA desktop app and never starts the game? I have to repeatedly launch the game and eventually it starts.

I really dont want a future one

More future

#

Thats what call of duty did

And it slapped, settingwise

mighty holly
#

Hear me out

fervent rose
#

lasers arent as cool as guns

mighty holly
#

Triple down on the future stuff

fervent rose
#

future is meh

spiral folio
#

Cod infinity war combat evolved or whatever. It had more in common with fallout and xcom than cod2

radiant prism
#

Tell me a BF game with infinite warfare art style wouldn’t slap

mighty holly
radiant prism
#

You don’t need to have lasers for space stuff

#

I agree lasers are boring

spiral folio
#

Like they went from modern warfare to space ships and power armor

arctic grove
fervent rose
#

bf in space sounds like a terrible idea

radiant prism
spiral folio
#

Sickening

#

Yes

arctic grove
#

I’m not knocking a futuristic battlefield but I personally like modern guns more than laser guns n stuff

#

Like I’m sure it’d be a cool game I’m just nit picky

radiant prism
#

Mechanically I wouldn’t want it to change much but I love the art style

spiral folio
#

Existing guns are easier to balance. Always have been

radiant prism
spiral folio
#

Like how would you balance a laser

radiant prism
fervent rose
#

its also easier to make awesome sounding guns

#

lasers / future weapons are difficult

spiral folio
#

The worst guns in like bf1 and bf5 were guns that were prototypes or whatever

mighty holly
#

Not to mention the functionality of a laser gun leo they’ll be making it have no recoil or have lots of recoil

radiant prism
#

I agree lasers would be dumb

#

Solution

#

Don’t have lasers

acoustic seal
fervent rose
#

but then people complain "why just guns in future"

radiant prism
#

Or un-based?

#

Idk

radiant prism
#

If they care much about things making sense, they’re nitpicking

#

BF has never made logical sense

#

Most games don’t

#

That’s why they’re games

#

Infinite warfare still used a ballistic system

#

That performed functionally the same as a regular gun

#

And had plenty of regular guns

fervent rose
#

i do think that is the correct approach

#

halo and apex do it with success

radiant prism
#

Which is why I say it’s so good in terms of art design

arctic grove
#

IW has that balance yea

radiant prism
#

Stuff looks cool and futuristic while still be relatable to modern tech

arctic grove
#

NV4 is just an M4. Pretty sure they have a futuristic Intervention as well

radiant prism
#

And AK

fervent rose
#

but i also just want a more simple and grounded battlefield before they try something wacky again

arctic grove
#

Ooh yeah the volk

radiant prism
#

The Volk is just a laser AK

arctic grove
#

2042 isn’t the right way to… revisit modern/near future, if you know what I mean.. CursedCat

#

like a bf2 era modern combat reboot

not future, not cold war

and definitely not near future in the slightest

The working* railgun owned by general atomics is the size of a barn

Can't wait for these men-in-suits-briefcases-carrying pricks to release another battlefield worse than 2042 to completely put a cross on the franchise

#

Vote with your wallet

spiral folio
#

I think they went railgun because it seems less advanced than lasers because it's a physicsl projectile. Despite the fact the advanced part is releasing that nuch power at once

I'm probably not going to buy the next BF title. Definitely not launch day. Was a big mistake I made.

I think it got forced to release early cause covid

arctic grove
#

Eh

spiral folio
#

Hence why its had a longer than typical dev cycle

arctic grove
#

Just a dice curse at this point

ivory canopy

I got two BF games at launch day, the other one being BF3. I remember being disappointed with BF3 also, but not to the degree I had with BF2042.

Bf1 was "done" after like a year

spiral folio
#

2042s been getting updates for like 3

arctic grove
#

All bf games after 3 been launching ass for some reason

grizzled blaze
#

BFV was pretty bad when it came out, its great now

#

it just suffers from two major MAJOR issues

#

TTK and the killcam being literally five seconds

spiral folio
#

And i kind of attribute that to covid screwing development after its immediate release

ivory canopy
#

BF3 had issues too

spiral folio
#

Bf3 had massive security flaws too. Client-side-hacks

ivory canopy
#

Remember USAS-12 frag rounds? How about the G3 with the M26 dart underbarrel.

#

To be honest, once I got into BF4, I really enjoyed it. I consider it one of the best in the franchise.

arctic grove
spiral folio
#

I think the exploder bolts for the bow fill the frag12 spot

arctic grove
spiral folio
#

I dont know if the military uses frag12s though

#

I know they exist

dense flume
arctic grove
#

I mostly care about it for its theme though. The rest is just the gameplay stuff which I liked. But it’s dated now

spiral folio
#

They fill the role they're not exact for a reason

dense flume
arctic grove
#

should i wait for next bf or buy older bf

spiral folio
#

Putting the frag bolts on the crossbow prevents people from having too many options on a shotgun

ivory canopy
spiral folio
#

Ntw should have more ammo types byt the devs want to make sure it sucks

arctic grove
#

Buy the older games because the next battlefield won’t be around till like 2024

#

No 2023 release unless people want a game just as broken as 2042

spiral folio
#

20mm has all sorts of rounds

arctic grove
ivory canopy
#

BF2042 had probably the worst launch of any BF title.

#

That said, it's improved dramatically since.

#

But to be honest, I'd go for BF1 or BF4 instead.

shell ermine
#

Oddly enough the game with the best launch is one of the worst, BF1

arctic grove
ivory canopy
arctic grove
#

i meant which one from them two

#

I mean if anything I’d tell you to watch reviews but go for Battlefield 1 for a more casual BF gameplay experience. Will hold you over till then if you’re waiting on the next game

If you want something with the most players on most platforms go for V

shell ermine
#

If you are coming to BF from COD, BF1 might actually be your jam

ivory canopy
#

Pick one. BF4 has a modern setting while BF1 is dated to the 1910s

Didn’t hardline launch with no game breaking issues

But like small bugs

What's Hardline? ||/s||

arctic grove
#

i might try bf1

stiff pollen
#

If you’re coming from cod to bf you should delete both and just play Minecraft

ivory canopy
#

I've slept on Hardline to be honest. Never played it. I'd imagine it's pretty good.

arctic grove
#

Considering it’s been dead for almost 10 yrs and wasn’t spoken about for much (if anything before 2042 I remember never reading anything positive about it) it’s probably aight

#

Like I do remember seeing that one Easter egg reload animation and the damn drivable couch which was funny

ivory canopy
#

Well, it's because it had a different theme

arctic grove
#

But ya know

stiff pollen
#

I didn’t expect anything from the devs that managed to screw up dead space 3 honestly

fervent rose
#

its also the one bf dice didnt make

arctic grove
#

Yeah it was probably the theme that did it in

fervent rose
#

very few people have played hardline at all

arctic grove
#

Gameplay was probably okay

#

I do remember watching a bit of the campaign which I found interesting

stiff pollen
#

The campaign is fun

#

You could tell Schofield wasn’t on the project

ivory canopy
#

I thought the BF4 campaign was OK. Definitely better than that of 3.

stiff pollen
#

Both are good

ivory canopy
#

BF3 felt to me like it had major plotholes.

#

Well, at least one

arctic grove
#

I never actually pay attention to the actual plot of FPS games campaigns, but I liked the cool stuff you could do in BF3s campaign

ivory canopy
#

The scene where Black has to ||kill his own superior before he gets shot in a blue-on-blue|| could have been played so much better.

arctic grove
#

BF4 only sorta made up for it with its character development and the one tank mission

ivory canopy
#

The night mission in BF3 was really good, though.

stiff pollen
ivory canopy
#

I was confused the first time I got to it.

#

I was like, "Wait. What?"

#

I was supposed to act all because ||Dima|| told me to, without additional context boiled into the scene to sell it better?

#

Pity they brought ||Dima and Jen Hawkins|| from BF3 into BF4's campaign just to kill them off.

clever marlin
#

Hawkins was killed off?

#

What mission in 3 was that?

ivory canopy
#

BF4

#

This was the Baku mission

UGLs are still broken in Exodus

arctic grove
mighty mountain
#

anyone else get the bug where you dont load into the game?

#

just get stuck in that loop of the locations

ivory canopy
#

Does it come with the popup saying it failed to connect to the EA network thing?

mighty mountain
#

nah

#

it just doesnt load

ivory canopy
#

Hmm

mighty mountain
#

ive tried uninstalling then reinstalling

#

deleting any trace of origin

#

still doesn't work

ivory canopy
#

I get that issue but usually I just close that popup whenever it shows up until it eventually loads.

mighty mountain
#

damn

ivory canopy
#

idk my computer setup is weird. Ever since I started running this configuration it's been doing that. But it's not bad enough to be game breaking.

mighty mountain
#

I think i might just need to delete everything honestly

#

just reformat my drive and then download everything again

#

cuz somethings fucked up

ivory canopy
#

Well, give it a go. This iteration of my installation never had Origin so...

mighty mountain
#

Yeah

#

i think I will

thorn leaf
#

can someone help me to fix bad graphics even on ultra, i feel that i play with 480p and low graphics, when i see youtubers playing this game it feels smooth and clear

low timber

#

Idk how DICE can have like 3 different versions of the game running at once

#

A lot of the QoL stuff and bug fixes in the last two patches aren't applied in Exodus and Rush XL

silk surge
shell ermine
#

One good game on that top 5 list

silk surge
#

The fact that it went free for PS+ really did wonders for that game.

shell ermine
#

I mean that's the point

#

Fall Guys wouldn't have made a splash if it wasn't on PS+

dapper river
#

FIFA players literally paying for Battlefield's existence troll

#

keep buying card packs, FIFA gamers, we salute you

silk surge
#

It's pretty crazy. 2042 has been a pretty obscure game since it released, and now its currently at the top.

shell ermine
#

Fallout 76 got a nice boost last month when it was on

dapper river
#

I suppose people are just sick of the direction MWII has been going and they crave that modern(ish) war shooter itch

fervent rose
#

people play free things

shell ermine
#

Difference is that F76 is actually a good game now

fervent rose
#

it shouldnt surprise anyone that playstation is popping off with a giveaway less than 2 years after launch

dapper river
silk surge
#

I'm honestly so glad that they added BF2042 to PS+, I currently have a 40-streak win on Hazard Zone by mowing down new players with my squad.

shell ermine
#

Huh, maybe I'll actually launch the mode and burn out those trophies then

#

Never actually launched HZ yet

#

Everyone I play with has unlocked Ruler of the Zone dog-tag because of the PS+ thing.

dapper river
#

Pisses me off when people say "iT's FrEe oN GaMe PasS" or whatever. No honey, it's just on Game Pass. Game Pass isn't free trol

shell ermine
#

GP is the most mind twisted gaslighting piece of shit to ever be put out, even worse than battlepasses and mtx imo

silk surge
#

I think semi-F2P is a proper way to describe the game at this point.

shell ermine
#

I mean I own all platforms, I'm not a fan of the new PS+ either

#

Its all trying to get people okay with not actually owning their games

yea thats why its different than gamepass

arctic grove
#

Ok why is battlefield 2042 suddenly for free??

dapper river
#

I think multiplayer is free on xbox now, isn't it? Didn't they drop XBL gold? Or did that never go through?

arctic grove
#

it is free for ps plus this month

#

and I think I've heard that is free in steam too, or I think in origin

fervent rose
#

i think xbox live gold is still a thing, just not for games like fortnite

arctic grove
#

No idea

#

I only have a ps4 and laptop

dapper river
arctic grove
#

oh I get it

#

I still got it for free with ps plus as I said

#

Now I have battlefield V and 2042, and I got both for free

#

neat

#

Good deal

arctic grove
#

And we all know how BF games play their first year….. CursedCat

#

it's a fun game (although yesterday I saw freaking rv flying so yeah, it still has it's things)

arctic grove
#

but after that period they're great

#

I love battlefield V and 2042

#

They're not like cod in the way that you ACTUALLY CAN FEEL A DIFFERENCE

#

I think battlefield in general it's a very good idea, it's not "cod clone #142"

#

although I'm not so happy with the fact that you can now equip any weapon as any class

#

That wouldn’t exist if the game just got more guns tbh

#

it honestly makes support a horrifying threat

arctic grove
#

Never was bothered by the concept of class locked guns. If you really wanted to play a gun you’d also be responsible for fulfilling a certain role with your gadgets and what not

#

If anything it seemed obvious to do

#

Supports have bigger character models and carry heavier things. Got it

#

I personally prefer to follow the classic:
AR in assault
LMG/HMG/shotguns with engie
smgs/carabines with medic
snipers with recon

radiant prism
#

I like the weapon freedom

#

Sometimes running an SMG as a scout is really fun

arctic grove
radiant prism
#

Let’s you create subclasses

arctic grove
#

like tf2 you know

arctic grove
radiant prism
#

Boris is heavy weapons guy

#

And that

karmic egret
radiant prism
#

beeepboop turret

#

is his weapon

arctic grove
#

On the subject of subclasses, i wish that was something BF would revisit, V does those in a cool way. Like combat medic(?) which lets you sprint faster when pinging a downed teammate

arctic grove
#

It makes every classes gameplay engaging in some way

karmic egret
radiant prism
arctic grove
#

and another of just Irish
they created a bunker

karmic egret
#

The Kobra sight is still bugged

radiant prism
#

Irish squads are kinda fun

#

I wanna play in a dozer squad though

#

Just

#

Shield wall

#

Of death

arctic grove
#

I don’t know how people don’t coordinate more. Like imagine getting you and some buddies to launch Lis rockets simultaneously at a tank

#

I have ptsd with vehicles

#

I just prefer to play alone anyways, but I imagine you can seriously break the gameplay balance with just coordination BlackHole_Laugh

radiant prism
arctic grove
#

when I started playing battlefield V I thought "hey playing as a tank sounds fun"
1 minute later I see 5 guys running at me with their boom sticks

#

Can confirm because… I would be pissed CursedCat

arctic grove
#

Even solo Lis pisses me off but ohmuhlord

radiant prism
#

Rip dozer being able to stop Lis missiles

#

Not just block them

#

Like physically stop them against the shield

arctic grove
#

the dozers I find think they have the battlefield equivalent of an star from mario

radiant prism
#

Most people have no clue how to be an effective dozer

#

Mainly because dozers shield is relatively small

#

Compared to other games

arctic grove
#

simple:
GHOSTMAKER

#

it's actually pretty good

radiant prism
#

It is yeah

#

I haven’t used it much

#

But it’s fun

arctic grove
#

you block shots, then swap and quickly land a shot
easier said than done though

arctic grove
radiant prism
arctic grove
#

It's fun to mess around with the average recon main laying in the other corner of the map

boreal pendant

love how long AA has been broken

radiant prism
#

It’s always fun watching someone charge me with C5 only for me to just switch back to my gun and hose them down

i never even fly and I got like 70-0 in choppers

arctic grove

funny as heck

radiant prism

Lmao

arctic grove
#

I imagine you’re getting games with the nubs

boreal pendant
#

Lmao everyone chooses the c ram instead of the wild cat

arctic grove
#

lobbies are filled with them right now

boreal pendant
#

because this game is beyond moronic

arctic grove
#

mostly cuz of ps plus offer

dense flume
arctic grove
#

They should’ve just got rid of that obnoxious ass vehicle selection thing they have for this game

boreal pendant
#

Idk why its possible to have 2 c ram instead of a wild cat in this game

arctic grove
boreal pendant
#

current pilot in my game going 40-0

#

last game was 60-0

arctic grove
#

it's pretty straightforward

boreal pendant
#

thanks dice

#

people literally fly around uncontested

arctic grove
#

as I said, that's mostly cuz of new players coming from the ps plus offer

radiant prism
#

Vehicles are only good when no one does anything about them

boreal pendant
#

and cause AA is broken lol

arctic grove
#

I am a new player, I just have 1 year of experience with battlefield V

#

BF4/1/V definitely have a more straightforward vehicle selection menu, you get presets depending on the map

In 2042, theoretically we could get so much more vehicle flexibility with what you can see and play if they just went back to that

copper fulcrum
#

Aerodrome be like

arctic grove
#

1 RAM and 1 Wildcat.

There was a point where the MAV and air transports were in the same slot, with 2 vehicle options allowed. It was literally only used for 2 air transports

#

Luckily with the s3 update they split the mav and air transports

#

but boomstick is gone :'(

copper fulcrum
#

Oh yeah Iwo Jima is great to spawn camp on

radiant prism
#

I think people need to think outside the box

arctic grove
#

also something I hate from bf2042 is that operators no longer talk in their native language

boreal pendant
#

this game has been catering to chopper its entire life cycle

arctic grove
#

I ADORED AND LOVED Keisuke's voice

boreal pendant
#

there was one patch where lis could counter them

copper fulcrum
#

There's some phrases in their native language

If you’re trying to use solely lock ons to kill helis, you’re stupid

guy from BFV

oh

I forget there were actual characters in the game

arctic grove

I know

radiant prism
#

He was one of the BFV…characters? What were they called again?

arctic grove
#

everyone just uses store skins

arctic grove
#

Keisuke is the only I remember

copper fulcrum
#

Yeah there were no reason to choose them in V since they changed nothing lol

arctic grove
#

keisuke my beloved

radiant prism
#

I liked Akira

#

The pilot guy

copper fulcrum
radiant prism
#

What the fuck were they called

silk surge
#

I liked how they brought back Günther in 1942 PORTAL.

gunther gang

radiant prism

They were buyable, had custom voicelines and melees

#

Gunther gang

arctic grove
radiant prism
#

yeah

#

Keisuke was the Japanese Officer elite

arctic grove
#

yes

#

the only thing I don't like from keisuke is the melee

#

they just missed the opportunity to add a Tanto or mini katana OR SOMETHING BESIDES A RUSTY OLD KNIFE

silk surge

There was Akira the pilot and the girl I don’t remember the name of but remember seeing everywhere

Guys how many more days do we have 2042 on game pass?

arctic grove

no idea

wind flint

I got 5 challenges done already

arctic grove
#

Huskys are also up there in dog breed rankings

radiant prism
#

Also true

arctic grove
#

can we talk about how useless is the first lmg you unlock?
it's so useless I don't even remember it's name

radiant prism
#

LCMG?

arctic grove
#

it's basically a worse advancis

#

Don’t you dare call the sniper useless

radiant prism
#

LCMG is god tier what do you mean

arctic grove
arctic grove
radiant prism
#

People live and die by the LCMG

arctic grove
#

LCMG can mag dump like up to 100+ meters and kill it is INCREDIBLY cursed

#

but the advancis is simply a objective upgrade lol

wind flint
#

Advacis irons are my favriote for ADS what other LMgs are good for me to tryout

radiant prism
#

LCMG has more range yeah

arctic grove
#

Avancs is for medium and close range stuff

radiant prism
#

Avancys is good though

#

Yea

#

Close range

#

Closeish

wind flint
#

LCMG is best

#

?

radiant prism
#

Ok but hear me out

arctic grove
#

If you can go for the acancs but LCMG has its place too

radiant prism
#

PKP go brrrrrrr

arctic grove
#

the average lvl500 who sits in one corner of the map with lmg, an ammo box by his side and some anime music

#

I’m new to this game I played BF3{BF4

edgy oriole
#

Lcmg wit cc rounds put it on em

arctic grove
radiant prism
#

I loved the MG-42 in BFV lol

wind flint
radiant prism
#

But I was an aggressive MMG guy

#

Not a corner sitter

arctic grove
#

It's so unfair to die to and it's so hard to punish

arctic grove
radiant prism
arctic grove
#

they kill you so fast that you don't have a second to react

radiant prism
#

People who did that used MMGs wrong

arctic grove
#

yeah

#

I personally see MMGs as a defensive weapon

radiant prism
#

Because aggro MMGs are so much fun

radiant prism
arctic grove
#

while the assaults, medics and LMGs go to the front, they protect the point with the recons

radiant prism
#

You can use them offensively but it’s a lot harder to be on the front line attacking with them

#

MMGs are all about positioning

arctic grove
#

yeah

radiant prism
#

And shifting positioning quickly

arctic grove
#

I'm more of a semi weapons guy though

#

like garands and such

radiant prism
#

Fair

#

Gewehr 43 was one of my top weapons in V

#

Loved that thing

#

Usually with irons

arctic grove
#

I haven't gave it a try yet

radiant prism
#

It’s like a slightly slower but stronger Garand

#

With 2 more rounds

arctic grove
#

I prefer to play as a carabine medic or aggressive support in BFV

radiant prism
#

And more range

#

I was assault or medic most of the time

arctic grove
radiant prism
#

Hyper aggro

arctic grove
radiant prism
#

I prefer the M1A1 carbine

arctic grove
#

I'm not talking about assault

radiant prism
#

AKA the VCAR but better

arctic grove
#

there's also carabines for medic lol

radiant prism
#

You mean the Jungle Carbine?

arctic grove
#

it's sad to see that they're never used
they're great

arctic grove
#

the one with a grenade

radiant prism
#

Ohhhhhhhhh

arctic grove
#

it's very underrated

radiant prism

The M.28 con tromboncino

arctic grove

ah yes

that one

radiant prism

Loved that lil thing

#

Grenade launcher go thoonk :)

arctic grove
#

not sure why it says "con" (spanish version of with) though

radiant prism
#

I have a stupid clip of it somewhere

radiant prism
#

The M.28 was a shortened Italian rifle

arctic grove
#

I guess it's italian then

radiant prism
#

It was yeah

#

Italian weapons got some love in BFV which was nice

arctic grove
#

I use it more like a recon/mmg buddy

#

I prefer to stay in the backlines

warm stirrup

#

I love dark humour

#

and no, I'm not an edgy 12 year old

#

I love dark humour mostly because of how absurd sounds

#

Am I allowed to give an example?

#

I don't think Irish is the support for me.

#

I can just never put my barriers in the correct places, not that anybody else ever defends anyways

radiant prism
#

I use the APS more than I use the barriers

arctic grove
#

He does have the trophy system doesnt he

radiant prism
#

Yeah

#

APS is nice because it’s passively active

#

And gives you xp :)

arctic grove
radiant prism
#

I almost never use barriers unless there’s a good reason to

arctic grove
#

you can, yes, but it's harder

radiant prism
#

Irish is very much defensive yeah

#

Like Boris

arctic grove
#

'dark humor' has lost its meaning

arctic grove
#

But whenever I end up being defensive I end up being the only person on the point defending it and that just doesn't work out in the long run

#

generally no punchlines, some people seem to be appealed to it purely because something is seen in society as generally distasteful

radiant prism
#

Well bottom line if he’s not for you he’s not for you, it works either way

#

What

arctic grove
arctic grove
#

Yeah I figured that much

arctic grove
radiant prism
#

I usually place barriers to shore up defenses where cover can let people be a bit more of a threat while staying in cover

arctic grove
#

its like an entire genre of 'jokes' that is basically the embodiment of schrodingers douchebag

arctic grove
arctic grove
#

it really depends on what you mean by dark humor because i cant really

#

clarify on the type im thinking of

#

I was playing Falck at first because I figured the syrette pistol would be good for healing allies but with how people move I can barely ever hit them with it so I've been playing Angel instead

arctic grove
arctic grove
radiant prism
#

Where’s a mod at

copper ice
#

falck pistol does home to a degree

radiant prism
#

I need to know how close I am to this threshold

arctic grove
#

I mostly use her for the self heal lol

radiant prism
#

I was told I was super close

clever marlin
#

hey, are the daily missions working for anyone else?

arctic grove
copper ice
#

it just also has travel time for some reason so it fucks up randomly

radiant prism
#

And I haven’t been getting anything

copper ice
#

nah you can pretty consistently plink with falck pistol

#

just dont ads

#

the home is better when hipfiring

arctic grove
#

I think the home radius should be increased

radiant prism
#

Apparently Falcks pistol can damage dozers through their shield but I’ve never seen it

arctic grove
#

and the projectile speed

copper ice
#

which is stupid and the game doesnt tell you that but i land like triple the amount of darts on allies when hipfiring

radiant prism
copper ice
#

10 falcks vs one dozer

arctic grove
radiant prism
#

If someone ever tries that on me I’m whipping out my gun and blasting them

copper ice
#

sometimes dozer swap speed seems silly

#

i made 3 dudes run off down a corridor one time and swapped fast enough to plink them before they'd taken like 3 steps

#

its a big ass shield and there's no safe way to play against it asides from "have an ally"

radiant prism
#

It’s hit or miss for me

#

It’s really more about having good timing on the swap than anything

#

Also dozers shield is tiny compared to most games

#

Zero side protection

copper ice
#

He's faster than most games with shields though

radiant prism
#

And of course exposed legs when standing

radiant prism
copper ice
#

dude can borderline sprint

#

I think the only reason he's not considered as a top specialist is the map design

#

none of them have any corridors

radiant prism
#

It’s a spring but it’s a slower sprint

copper ice
radiant prism
arctic grove
#

you need to commit to the meme

radiant prism
#

Go ahead, name a map

arctic grove
#

until a purely cqb map is in the game hes a very situational specialist on all of the current ones

#

but he will come in handy

Yeah it’s a taser club lol

It’s supposed to be from the swing

skull cracks

inner ether

but it looks like it splurts too early

radiant prism
#

It does

arctic grove
#

So yeah, you can stab with a club too

inner ether
#

no

radiant prism
#

It’s not a stab though

#

It’s a taser club

arctic grove
#

You get the idea

radiant prism
#

It’s very clearly just shocking them

alpine vector
#

Now all my missions her back, but the progress for the C5, SPH grenade launcher, and Claymore are stuck

#

Anyone else have this issue?

radiant prism

I think it’s just a UI bug

But idk

arctic grove

Wow the c4s are trash

ionic bloom

Uh why can I play online but not with bots. I keep getting kicked out (literally the message I get when I dc)
