You know your meme is like 4 years old?

#

@arctic grove do you mean the little feature where you could grab stuff off their soldier? they just havent made it again yet, hopefully they do

how badly is this game optimized

oh

yeah

or if you shoot them at random body parts

they don't fall immediately somehow

#

yea those could return too.

#

but thats a fortification, so idk

#

probably not gonna happen

#

Bahhh I dunno what I'm going to hate more.

#

The m44 or the GVT.

#

Cause the GVT has so much drop.

cold beacon
#

I would love some building stuff in this game, cuz we need more teamplay

#

to remind people that it exists in this game and not be a "lone wolf" 100% of the time

like, I barely see medics rn

But both are headshot machines and are skill weapons

sorry in advance guys, i'm logging in. Prepare to meet thy DOOM

#

see you on the Battlefield friend

cosmic pawn
#

Question,
Is there a XP booster like in BF4 that goes from 50% to 200% ?

#

Or there aren't any boosters

vagrant basin
#

Anyone else having trouble launching it through steam?

acoustic scarab

#

I get the small pop up on launch but then the ea app shows up

clever marlin
#

HOWEVER

#

They are activated automatically upon going into a match

cold beacon
fervent rose
#

hit play and pray

vagrant basin
#

dang yeah I had a workaround to verify the game files through steam and it always helped

#

but now it didn't help this time

clever marlin
#

I might have a simple fix. Is it the launcher or trying to play the game for more than 5 minutes?

fervent rose
#

theres a lot of placebo fixes going around, i think its an ea server issue

#

or ea app problem

vagrant basin
#

It's the launcher

#

I get until the part of the anti cheat pop up

#

and then it closes down and ea app opens up

clever marlin
#

Do you have the shortcut?

vagrant basin
#

yes

arctic grove
#

Does anybody else feel like you can just tell when the enemy team is just better than your teammates

vagrant basin
#

on my desktop screen

arctic grove
#

Not even better

#

Just actually working together

clever marlin
#

You want to go into the properties for that shortcut and enable run as administrator and disable full screen optimization

#

I’ve found it’s a 50/50 fix

vagrant basin
#

ah nice thanks I'll try that 🙂

fervent rose
#

you can be the best player in 2042 and still get that experience

Oh and in windows defender, add the EAC file for battlefield 2042 to windows defender

#

I had this one guy real mad at me yesterday i think. He was using a 10x scope so easy to find. Kept aiming on me so I'd spot and lob a lis at him

#

I ended up getting him 5 times cause he was solely after me

fervent rose

#

He ended up quitting before the match ended

#

hello im looking for some squad to play battlefield 2042 on ps5

clever marlin
arctic grove
# fervent rose being on the side thats getting steamrolled, a common occurrence in this game

We were playing Conquest on Discarded and the enemy team had a group of like 6-8 people all sticking together running back and forth on the top of the ship taking B1 and B3 and reviving eachother, while one of their choppers also covered the top of the map, meanwhile my team was ignoring their own squad mates dying next to eachother and I never saw any of our own choppers the entire match.

fervent rose
spiral folio
#

It might actually not do anything even

#

Ie if it was like 3/4 games before and youre down to half that. You could just be getting lucky

fervent rose
#

@arctic grove sounds like a very enjoyable game on a very enjoyable map leo

#

no

#

he has a passive buff, no aim advantages

#

no operator has aim advantages other than recon with snipers

#

because he has an innate passive movement buff

he feels more fluid

#

oh no another YouTuber said some clickbait title about something which was a battlefield game months ago

#

this entire thing is dumb bs

fervent rose
#

an hour long video, what am i supposed to agree with here

remote kiln
#

if there are genuinely still people on the copium of wondering if 2042 is a "Battlefield game", they've never played a game in the franchise

fervent rose
#

is 2042 finally at a release stage? yes

#

we made it out of beta boys

#

(still no squad menu)

remote kiln
#

and I say that with no irony

it's just dumb at this point

you weren't here during the early days

What are they coping with though?

the specialists dont add good things to the gameplay

this channel was a riot

those people are smart

and headstrong

I can imagine well enough

fervent rose

we are weak and play this garbage

icy viper

Might as well work with what we've got

dapper night

#

I just wish they'd bring back character customization

#

They could make a LOT of money through monetization of unique outfits.

#

I can do without the specialists

dapper night
icy viper
worthy topaz
#

nope, i have the game like when it comes out and this problem is still on top

inner ether

#

I hated the lack of options

inner ether
#

BFV was getting good with the Pacific update and then they killed it in order to make BF 2042.

dapper night
inner ether
#

Don't forget that.

remote kiln
inner ether
#

They killed BFV to make 2042 and now they've spent a year trying to fix 2042.

icy viper

The uniforms and whatever were okay.

fervent rose

I thought the characters you could choose were horrendous

#

bfv wasnt on an upswing when they canceled the game. they fucked the player population over so much with their poor marketing and poor patch decisions

inner ether
icy viper
#

Although I feel like customization would be better.

#

And stray less away from what Battlefield is.

Which isn't a hero shooter.

Anyways here hoping for DICE to finally release a urban map in Year 2

vagrant basin
#

Found a workaround if get stuck on launcher and then getting ea app. Just log out and then in again seems to work in my case

inner ether
#

I've even gone into registries to change it

#

Still doesn't stop doing it

remote kiln
#

if it doesn't exist then you've severely fucked your operating system lol

because it's a default option

I wouldn't necessarily be against spawn-in specialists like if you're spawning in a tank.

What about year 2

remote kiln

they've been clear like multiple times the current map release cadence won't change

I saw JackFrags making a video about it

#

@remote kiln how do you know this for stuff past season 5, if they exist?

remote kiln
#

?

worthy topaz
#

i will send you the video

fervent rose
#

they say in the podcast they would have delivered 2 per season, if not for remakes to launch maps

naive quiver
#

That mean we’re not going to get new battlefield game till end of next year 2024

remote kiln
#

yeah, if

fervent rose
#

so if year 2 exists, why would they not do 2 per season after 5

remote kiln
#

the remakes still happened

radiant prism
#

There's only one remake to go anyways

remote kiln
#

and I doubt DICE are going to say 3 to 4 times that same thing if they're going to change tune barely 3 months later

radiant prism
#

Just Hourglass

#

After we get discarded later this season

remote kiln
#

hourglass is also the biggest

radiant prism
#

And tbh I'm hyped, I already like hourglass visually and aesthetically

remote kiln
#

it's basically 2 maps in one just by its size

radiant prism
#

So was breakaway

arctic grove
#

Hourglass AOW is a walking simulator

fervent rose
#

hourglass better feel like a new map

radiant prism
#

Though if breakaway is anything to go by, hourglass's size will probably get cut down to be more concise

#

Maybe we'll get a nice urban setting?

fervent rose
#

it has potential, but the current version is pathetically barebones

still vault
remote kiln
#

it has to be cutdown, this scale isn't sustainable for map longevity

arctic grove
#

"Hey all, we heard your feedback on hourglass, and we decided to add more containers to the layout"

radiant prism
#

yeah

fervent rose
#

cut away the entire pointless desert and village and they could do something with the city/highway

drowsy shuttle
#

Hourglass is going to be the best bf 2042 map. You read it here first.

remote kiln
#

I mean probably

radiant prism
#

Kaleidoscope did go from a mid tier map to one of the best map in the game

remote kiln
#

it's got the most to change, so could end up that way

next onyx
#

gvt i HATE.

#

The drop is so EXTREME. And the velocity.

radiant prism
#

Explain

fervent rose
#

the rework barely did anything

arctic grove
#

I got headshot from 200 meters by a GVT with a 2x scope while driving a recon last night

fervent rose
#

the map bad

next onyx
#

Admittedly the map didn't change too much, The prototype layout they had planned looked to be better.

arctic grove
#

I thought I had a brain lapse.

radiant prism
#

Idk, personally I love it

next onyx
#

Yeah it plays much better.

#

But it's still the same.

remote kiln
#

Kal is, fine, wouldn't say it's exceptional by any metric, it's just fine

fervent rose
#

also the final point on breakthrough is awful

radiant prism
#

especially on breakthrough

#

Better than it was

next onyx
#

BT is much different yeah.

fervent rose
#

still better than the rooftop obj, but awful

arctic grove
#

Lol I figured out how to get the ram in the about a month ago

#

That's absolute hell

radiant prism
#

I really think it'd be better if people just got their shit together and got outside that building

next onyx
#

With a lever action imma lever action deez nuts.

remote kiln
#

if anyone played during season 0 breakthrough on hourglass

fervent rose
#

the design of that building is awful and you know it @radiant prism

remote kiln
#

they know why that will always be the worst map

fervent rose

all of the outside is open flat

That made zero sense please understand I am exchausted.

worthy topaz

this is the problem

remote kiln

mental delta
fervent rose
#

they claimed remakes got in the way

so we should expect 2 per season after 5 if theres a year 2

Considering these are the largest map remakes we've had in BF history

Map changes have been made before but never to this extent

inside battlefield podcast

#

1 or 2 episodes ago

remote kiln
# mental delta What are you talking about ?

maps take months to make, season 5 is still doing hourglass, they wouldn't feasibly be able to begin production on further maps until the beginning of season 6, at the earliest

mental delta
remote kiln
#

they are massive projects with a lot of moving parts

eh ill wait until i see an official announcement

Dm7 is what? Top 5 weakest weapons in the game?

mental delta

yeah

DM7 is strong idk what you're talking about

actually fun thought, what is the absolute worst weapon in the game

#

primary only

#

secondaries are excluded

radiant prism
#

hmmm

#

or that they just wont

remote kiln
#

both

because the first isnt true

radiant prism

the 2nd is obvious and sad

#

I remember releasing 4 maps in a single DLC back then

remote kiln

they won't, because they won't start now, and because of the latter reason

remote kiln
radiant prism
#

Ah ok

#

Maybe one of the bolt action snipers?

mental delta
remote kiln
#

idk it's a funny question

#

you could say like, one or two objectively terrible weapons in past games

#

but I can't think of any for 2042

fervent rose
#

i genuinely dont expect more than season 5 still

#

but another year of 1 map per 3 month isnt exciting

inner ether
remote kiln
#

it doesn't need to be exciting

remote kiln
#

they literally just need to sustain what they've already got

radiant prism
#

The development effort is unprecedented

fervent rose
remote kiln
#

the game isn't in its season 0 state with 700 players at one time

#

there's no need for big bang surprises

#

and which is why DICE wont

remote kiln
#

idk where you got this false hope from

inner ether
fervent rose
#

i dont have false hope?

mental delta
# fervent rose but another year of 1 map per 3 month isnt exciting

I wasn't expecting a full year 2 and tbh I would prefer if they dropped the game's development after season 5 so they can move the remaining teams to next game development, I agree on this, 1 map per season is neither exciting or promising, it will only keep a small amount of people interested into the game

fervent rose

i just have standards and expect more from these indie devs

Even at the game's most "dead" back before season 1, it was far from it

So many games get called dead that just aren't

mental delta
radiant prism
# fervent rose i cant play crossplay off on pc

See here's the thing with that, even back at launch when hundreds of thousands were trying the game for the first time you couldn't do this. Not because there weren't players, but because no one turns crossplay off.

fervent rose
#

one of many systems in this game that is flawed

wide shore
#

Well, that’s kinda unavoidable. It’s just cause crossplay is on by default

radiant prism
#

No, it worked fine...people just didn't do it, straight up

fervent rose
#

you just said the answer though

#

make platform only default

#

boom we all get lobbies

wide shore
#

We all get lobbies rn tho

still vault
fervent rose
#

not crossplay off ones

wide shore
#

Yeah but if crossplay isn’t default then nobody will play crossplay

fervent rose
#

you have to make crossplay off default for pc only to have lobbies

wooden briar
#

12 g auto and go

radiant prism
#

Saying its not booming by the fact that crossplay-off is hard to do is just wrong though, or at least not full proof in that sense

It’s a good idea in concept. But in practice they didn’t do much to make them fit into the meta

Make it an upgrade option

#

Or something idk

fervent rose
#

the tanks can definitely have another button added

#

thermal pop for 15 seconds, 30 second cd

#

or whatever

arctic grove
#

I may get the game.

fervent rose
#

try it for cheap imo. 1 dollar ea play or gamepass

acoustic seal
#

input is still broken so that's another layer of frustration

next gulch
#

only problem I have with tank gameplay is the control's, it's easy to use but can be incredibly sluggish and unreliable if you need to do something as simple as turning backwards

#

at least on controller might be fine on KB/M

fervent rose
#

nah its no better on kbm

#

and turrets in first person feel extremely bad with the mouse

next gulch
#

controller also has a problem where if you reverse, your tank will randomly reverse at full boost speed for 5 seconds

fervent rose
next gulch
#

yeah it's annoying, never had this bug in any other BF

#

gotten me stuck/blown up several times

fervent rose
#

you have to tap reverse to get it to stop

#

its dumb

inner ether
#

Kneeling into the back seat of the Brawler still means you die from grenades that are near the Brawlers rear

#

Fucking brilliant design

next gulch
#

and getting stuck in a tank is also very very easy in 2042 lol, every map seems to have several pits for you to fall into you

#

Reject meta, return to am40

fervent rose
#

huh

next gulch
#

I haven't been killed by an AM40 in a very long time

edgy oriole
#

am40 is apart of meta

drowsy shuttle
#

Im using DM7 otherwise using RM68, scar, pp29 or m5 gets really boring really fast.

next gulch
#

no one must know about it, doesn't exist in my gameplay

edgy oriole
#

am40 subsonic

#

OP

arctic grove
#

Becuase yes

acoustic seal
#

am40 is... okay? it has weird horizontal recoil that other guns don't have

arctic grove
#

I want to unlock aku

next onyx
#

Am40 is a better submachine gun and I hate it for that.

fervent rose
#

am40 is incredible at its niche

wooden briar
#

Bad day for opposition

arctic grove
#

Advancys is a better ar top

drowsy shuttle
next onyx
#

Use a submachine gun and see how the AM40 will outclass it in every way.

arctic grove
#

Too*

next gulch
#

I'm too used to the RPT now, I refuse to use anything else

arctic grove
#

I know it’s a better smg

#

But the point is

next gulch
#

and I really don't have to unless I want to be better in close quarters

drowsy shuttle
arctic grove
#

How many people actually use it?

next onyx
#

A gun outclassing an entire category of submachine guns isn't exactly good.

#

People who know what they're doing.

fervent rose
#

850 rate of fire am40 needs 2.15x headshots but 900 rof mp9 needs 1.25

#

explain that somehow

arctic grove
#

I’m only using the am40 to unlock aku

cloud agate
#

AM40 good

arctic grove
#

Aku funnier

drowsy shuttle
#

Its not mw2 aku type of good tho

next onyx
#

AKS kind of actually pretty good.

fervent rose
#

aks needs an audio buff

next onyx
#

Good 4HK range.

arctic grove
#

Ak-74u

fervent rose
#

its okay but it sounds so poor

arctic grove
#

Let’s all group up and demand for a better killsound

#

Like garden warfare

mild crystal
#

Petition for them to rework jets

#

Theyre so bad

arctic grove
#

That game has one of the best killsounds ever

mild crystal
#

Bf5 headshot sound was best

#

Not a fan of kill sounda

#

Sounds

karmic egret
#

Nah bf1 has the best kill sounds

#

Especially headshots, because at least you know you hit a headshot

#

In bf2042 you really can't tell

#

Unless you look at the hitmarker or killfeed

dapper river
mild crystal
#

Yea, u can tell when u kill someone in 2042 eaaily

#

I dont remember bf1 headshot sound

it's got the metal/squishy meat layer on it

are tanks underpowered in this game ?

acoustic seal

not in a vacuum, but when you compare them to the MAV/CAV and put them up against infantry TV missiles then yeah they suck

drowsy shuttle
warm stirrup
#

Brawler is better than mav

acoustic seal
#

things like CDS, better gunner seat weapons

drowsy shuttle
#

Dm7 is by far the worst dmr

acoustic seal
#

they're not "better" but there's some really weird things happening in the balance department

placid oxide
#

appreciate the explanation

acoustic scarab
#

is there a way to see what things you've just unlock recently

inner ether
#

Have you ever seen anyone get awarded for repairs at the end of the match?

drowsy shuttle
#

Nope

inner ether
#

me neither

warm stirrup
#

In the squad thing yes, not the top 3 soldiers

inner ether
#

I wish we had service stars back

warm stirrup
#

Top 3 is usually
Kills, assists, objectives, vehicles destroyed, or revives

drowsy shuttle
# inner ether me neither

Also its very rare seeing "most kills" because dice dont want to promote fragging lol its kinda cute to be honest.

acoustic scarab
drowsy shuttle
#

No i mean its rare seeing in the mvp screen the person with most kills

warm stirrup
#

Most kills is usually the first shown tho

drowsy shuttle
#

Its not.. not in my games... and i know because many times im the person with most kills and its really rare showing up for that.

#

Its usually most revives, captures, most vehicles destroyed or assists

#

At least in BT.. maybe its different in conquest

warm stirrup
#

Yee conquest shows most kills first

silver lantern

Coffee

drowsy shuttle
#

Its cawfee

warm stirrup
#

Cream or sugar? For coffee?

hexed reef

If I run outta milk and for some reason have cream that never gets used I ues rhe cream and it tastes better with cream im a weird person

warm stirrup

I like it with sugar lol

I use salt for black coffee

Oof

Cuts the bitter

next onyx
#

I DID IT.

#

FUCK THE GVT.

drowsy shuttle

?

#

Gvt is cool

#

One of the first weapons i T1

warm stirrup
#

I read that as fuck the government lol

next onyx
#

It was pain to use.

acoustic scarab
#

most kills doesn't mean anything in shooters like BF anyway, it generally means biggest camper or hiding in spawn with tank/vehicles. it isn't a skill or useful based stat

drowsy shuttle
#

Lol

#

If you say so

warm stirrup
#

Tier 1 doesn't mean anything in this game sadly

drowsy shuttle
acoustic scarab
#

you are blind to the illusion of a Kill, do you play hardcore mode ?

drowsy shuttle
#

I dont play portal

#

I only play BT

warm stirrup
#

Hardcore is campfest

warm stirrup

Sort of

drowsy shuttle

Its not

warm stirrup

With lots of custom logic it is

We need official BT for portal

Breakthrough with 1942 settings is really awesome

#

Besides, custom breakthrough you can select the number of vehicles each team has

#

Even teams instead of attack team always dominates

If you strafe 1cm while shooting with dm7 the accuracy is all over the place...

#

Its realy fucking bad holy shit

fervent rose
#

9 months actually haha

drowsy shuttle
#

I mean its not even funny how weak the dm7 is.. you basically lose almost every fight 1 on 1 against almost every weapon..

#

Its a good weapon if you camp and stand still on a flank or something and nobody sees you... other than that its pointless

drowsy shuttle
fervent rose
next onyx
#

No longer have to use it.

clever marlin
#

honestly, the 45-70 t1 skin is disapppointing

#

i usualy just put a 6ku silencer on it with a 6x and a bipod

next onyx
#

I had that skin with the golden furniture on it.

#

The GVT has such crazy drop and reduced velocity compared to other ranged rifles.

#

But the fact that it has straight pull mechanics giving it the best rechamber time allows it to be an aggressive monster.

#

I understand why they gave it a 20m ohk range now. Because of the playstyle it demands.

wide shore
#

I could never

#

I couldn’t t1 any of the snipers. My aim sucks

Thankfully rush xl made it easier cause there are fools just laying down.

Mmmm. The ranger sequoia

alright, its confirmed. Year 2 is coming

I wasnt sure but

If you could nerf a weapon

Which one would you nerf and how would you do it?

drowsy shuttle

drowsy shuttle
cold beacon
#

and then, the guy who dives into EA app and things like this confirmed it

arctic grove
next onyx
#

I would tweak a bunch of weapons instead of outright nerfing what they're competing against to try to even out the playing field.

arctic grove
#

Lack of braincells*

clever marlin
#

If anything, this game needs to update the attachment values or revisit them entirely

arctic grove
#

I’m not saying you shouldn’t be able to kill from distance, I sometimes feel like it’s maybe too fast

next onyx
#

Angled grip could use a big buff.

#

I would remove its hipfire benefit and instead work it towards reducing first shot recoil, but under sustained fire accuracy is reduced.

upbeat sand
#

There's no point when laser sight

next onyx
#

Literally only the saiga uses it viably.

upbeat sand
#

And we even have an Better laser sight than just hipfire so

#

Why angle

drowsy shuttle
#

Cool bug, got revived in the water in Manifest and cant climb the ladder to get out of it.

arctic grove
#

I would also tweak tank health

#

Increase their speed but reduce their health
Maybe that will encourage people to actually move and not just camp in one place all match

upbeat sand

So I was just there

With a squad mate

Anyone know how to fix the unlock bug for zain? I’ve completed both challenges and he’s still locked

clever marlin
#

Did you do them in bot matches?

toxic rapids
#

did em in customs

clever marlin
#

Play a game quick in an offical mode like conquest or breakthrough and it should unlock

#

It’s got a weird bug where sometimes it won’t unlock normally

drowsy shuttle
#

Stole an enemy tank from a poor soul that left it to repair it lol

ah, alright thanks 👍🏿

And i even ran him over cause he was in the back repair it

Almost feel bad for the guy

Almost...

lol I got a tank to low hp with javelin still having a shot left, the driver jumped out I killed him and took the tank

For steam is already over. For ps plus no idea

For PS plus it’ll be sometime in April

f2p people shouldnt be able to spawn vehicles in that have more than 2 slots in them OMEGALUL

And so many stock loadout MBTs

SO many

It's free to own on PS plus so it's gonna stay popular past April

Yeah in one hand its free easy xp by farming the noobs... but on the other hand its frustrating watching them camp with snipers or going completely lost around the map

inner roost

These players seriously suck though

kindred flint

not if we get really sweaty against them and make them quit

No positional awareness

I see so many people now just going like 5 kills 20 deaths

128 vehicular warfare

all jets and tanks

acoustic seal

the players are willing but the servers are weak

warm stirrup

You can make a 26v26 jets only

Or planes only

I used to make one back in the days with bots

26v26 1942 planes only really is something

Would anyone be interested in a 26v26 ww2 plane dogfighting server?

I kill way more people with ghostmaker than with dm7... amazing

Buff it Dice. Its time

Hey guys, my friend can't seem to get the game to launch. It will either just close after the EAC splash window finishes loading or giving him the "Can't load persistence data" error. Any ideas? We're stumped.

Clear cache. Go to task manager and close/end the EA app working in the background, verify the files... reboot PC if it helps, probably wont be needed

is the ebr 14 any good

They wouldn't sell a whole upgrade for just season 5 silly

They are not selling anything. That was a leak.. and doesnt say too much... like i said, i believe when its official

The leak had a price tag

drowsy shuttle

Havent seen that

warm stirrup

Jackfrags covered the price on the leak

Leaks can be wrong

#

And have been wrong many times before

#

They also don’t tell the full story

#

It’s decently safe to say that yes year 2 will happen

#

But we don’t know specifically what year 2 will entail

For all we know it could just be s5 and then bye bye

But that’s no guarantee either

M16 is fun

i wanna like the m416

64 is way to little dudes to shoot at

kindred flint

although i will hand it to dice...they managed to be fucking lazy by making literally 1 layout for conquest so they had to do half the work compared to exposure OMEGALUL

yet they manage to make a super cut down, ship only, map version for the smaller game modes..

make sure crossplay is turned on and you're picking a gamemode that actually gets players in it

I guess some people dont know any other weapon beside pp29, scar and rm68 lol

weird, it's like they're the only good guns in the game or something

in a franchise with historical pick viability problems

Yeah and its boring af.. i t1 the rm68 in like 2 days (i dont play 10h a day like many others) and its like playing the game in easy mode.. same for the pp29 and scar...

About what?

T1'ing the rm68 in like 2 days without playing 10h a day like many others. I can imagine it's like playing the game in easy mode or something
