They brought back dropzone
Also depends,what kind of helicopter do you prefer? Attack,stealth,nightbird or transport?
Bolte is hilariously fun on exposure
have a guy you're in comms with
it is total annihilation
EBLC-Ram is also good too
even better I'd argue
I actually remember driving a bolte off the edge on exposure when heading for echo
yeah you'll basically almost never die
from the fall
the tunnel fighting is where it's at
the indoors sections too
people do NOT expect to see a bolte in there
I think it was Delta. The objective across from where the command center would be
Someone drove a ram in there
And obliterated everyone
It was the last objective we needed before we'd have every single objective and they didn't expect a ram
speaking of Bolte, i just posted some footage in the video channel of using Bolte and Jeep with my racing sim rig. i am getting better with every attempt haha
I feel like people often just ignore the bottom 2 objectives in Exposure conquest
Sector B really is where it's all at
Also Exposure likes to have a big unloaded wall texture that you can't see through block off both ends of the tunnel for the first few minutes of the match
Which you can't see into or shoot through but people inside can see and shoot out of it
Anyone down to play some 2042
Anyone see the beta for counter strike 2 dropped today?
Man why do lis rockets feel so trash?
no way I thought counter strike condition zero came out ages ago have I been teleported back to 2000?
i know im just messin
its gonna have more blood than this hero shooter
I love how the blood looks exactly like the blood from Half-Life Alyx
probably because it's a reused asset
I have finally unlocked the M60E4 and can stop using the PKP-BP
What's the button to ejaculate the helicopters?
Pretty sure he wasn’t
I hate snipers on my team so much
I love us holding A1 at the top of the building on Orbital and enemies starting to flood in and kill us and the two snipers in my squad are completely oblivious because they're leaning so far over the edge sniping that they're not in the objective and can't see that there's like 3 enemies in the objective
Like you need to turn around and look once in a while
Press E
What does E do, I'm on console
Oh my answer was for the guy before you
Oh my bad
💀
Sorry

I had thought E was to ping the enemies while I'm down or something and you were telling me to do that
Yeah it's R1
The good thing about this game is that when you die you can exactly pinpoint and ping your enemy
Doesn't matter though because they ignore it
There will always be players that use a free spot advantage
i have noticed crawford is best on breakthrough defense
you can mow down so many people with it
I hope they make changes to his turret so it's not extremely easy to get shot through it
Play station is just so dead right now
It’s like I have to have Crossplain able to find real people through portal and stuff
My squad mates are giving me a headache
Never trust your squads, sometimes they'll just troll which is stupid
Anyone know if the Hazard Zone achievements/trophies progress are shared across platforms? I 100% the game on Xbox and then launched it on PlayStation and most trophies popped automatically except for one-time stuff like killing a ground troop with an air vehicle, etc. Everything that is do X number of things required just doing it once. But I extracted 2 times now, once with 3 drives, and neither time popped those trophies
I don't claim to be good at this game, because I'm not, but god dang at least I don't completely ignore all aspects of team play. Like why even play battlefield of you're gonna completely ignore all aspects of team/squad play
There are just those selfish players unfort.
It's not even selfishness it's stupidity, like ignoring me spamming a ping right by them and then them getting killed by that guy because they completely ignored
There is an issue with pings I know that for a fact.
I would kick the teams on squad for how stupid and ignorant they really are, if they don't know how to work as a team
All it takes is like 2 people In a squad actually playing as a squad and having situational awareness for you to completely steamroll enemies
And people completely ignore it
It does take a bit for people to get used to the game though there is the matter of that.
And even where I am I do miss things.
There are an influx of new players
Yeah I'm one of those new players
I have started to suspect hackers in some of my games
I already encountered some
Yeah we've been getting more hackers here in OCE that dice refuses to do anything about because their report system doesn't work like it should.
I could post a photo if only I'm a regular
How many fully automatic guns are there that are an easy 3 shot kill
Without headshots btw
Yeah then some of my experiences don't seem right
3hk within 50 metres with subsonic to 75 with heavy.
I keep having instances of being at full health and being put down in 2 or 3 shots from an SMG or so
There's a massive issue with the net code as of late which is affecting the TTD.
Something that people don't talk about in a lot of games is subtle hackers
Not all hackers are making it super obvious
And will do subtle things to give themselves an advantage without it being super obvious
You have the ones that set to hit your chest only so they don't look suspicious at all.
Another game I play is full of hackers like this and it ruins the game a lot of the time
They'll also track you in game if you're a well known player.
So it's tiring.
I get called a hacker all the time unfortunately.
another problem is ea's privacy settings which means you can hide your stats on a stat tracker website
Yeah that other game I play hackers have a program to match with specific players automatically
But that game only has 5 person lobbies so it's a lot more malicious when it happens and can completely ruin the game as it has a matchmaking penalty for quitting out
Racist name? Instant action.
Blatant cheater for a year? Nah let's not act on that at all.
I'd say valorant but that's not on PS.
Oh bloody hell imma get a burger I can't be bothered.
And it's not like game companies can permanently prevent a hacker from playing their game anyways
They can just make a new account if they get banned, and VPN if they get IP banned
They need to hardware ban these people and actually have a decent unban service for people falsely banned.
Reminds me that my friend got banned for abusing the thermal stoner 63 by the way.
All besides transport but little bird 1st
Also mw2 is Terrible
Worse than 2042 was
Servers are ass, constant rubber banding, movement is rough n clunky
List goes on
A cod with terrible movement is bad
I feel like with cross play off it takes longer to find a match for my platform
i'm having an issue since the eleventh hour update where i get stuck on title screen. i also had to download/use some EA app instead of going solely through steam now? any tips?
Zain's voice actor goes hard tbh
People keep telling me his airburst rifle is super strong but it seems pretty mediocre for me considering so few people actually take cover in this game and it seems to take like 4 hits to kill
Underbarrel grenade launchers also just feel very weak in this game with how many shots they take to kill combined with needing to reload them after every shot
That is just not true
Maybe the built in one of the SFARM is weaker than the other ones
But I used it constantly to unlock Zain right before they gave him away for free and it never killed anybody in one shot
Again requires skill
Do you have to hit directly dead onto their body with it for it to one shot
Because the whole point of a grenade launcher is that it has splash damage
Zain is only really op on breakthrough choke points
I think it just depends I know dozer can face tank a grenade launcher last I checked
They need to reduce the range of the airburst to 75m and reduce the damage to 30.
I always find the Dozer mains while playing with the crossbow. Getting a hit and waiting with glee for the explosion only to get a second hit marker and not a kill.
Its absolutely hilarious
You only process it when the second airburst is on its way.
And then when you start running away the third one hits.
I once took a tanks HEAT shell a foot infront of my face with dozer no shield
Good flak jacket.
I tier 1'd him and never picked him up again. Filthy Mackay main at heart.
Im a dozer main through and through
I became Zain main cause yes, Utility.
His passive is too good.
yea quick fix + LMG and the pain train doesn't stop.
I stopped playing Mackay because of it.
Pain Zain* 
Zain main pain.
Ya know almost every actual dozer main I’ve met reminds me of Engie mains in tf2
They’re all just chill like that
Don't have experience with that but I trust you on that.
Part of my usual group has a Dozer main and he fits the same bill. I still bully him over the riot shield kills.
I’ve done my fair share of shielding medics while they revive
I love placing shields in front of people to revive.
You know what was the really weird part Asto?
?
I had always wondered if Irish was meant to be a Medic first.
Me most definitely was
I do wish Dozer had the option to extend his shield.
Cause there's so much potential for that.
Ill stand by the fact rao should replace Boris as an engineer
You can't sprint but you can cover a greater area.
more like its just clear they didnt have "classes" in mind and this is all them figuring it out as they go
Some specialists are mixes.
like its clear to me that the medic shouldnt have a APS system
the shields are fine though
Yeah.
Rao just needs to be an Engie like come on that was his main use was destroying vehicles
Now no one plays him
I like specialists in that there are niche roles.
But at the same time.
They shouldn't just be characters.
It reminds me of archtypes except a bit more specialised.
Anyone remember them?
Class Archetypes was a system planned to be introduced into Battlefield V. Under this system, the four core classes of Assault, Medic, Support and Recon were divided into selectable subclasses or "archetypes" which allowed for further class specialization. The original concept of Class Archetypes was dropped during development in favor of the Co...
yeah you could revolver gut shot and animation lock somebody from so far out as a medic
I would love to see this done again.
Like support in bf1 could repair and give Ammo
i think the archtypes in bf5 were fine, nothing too special though
only cool one was recon pathfinder
Yeah. Though looking at them they were so interesting.
And then the 5v5 perks.
Gunner would of been fucking wild LMAO.
600 round MG42 LET'S GO.
You ever heard of the real life death machine
No?
MACV SOG. They nicknamed it the “death machine,”it was a M-60 that had a cut down barrel, stock, no sights, a pistol grip mounted to the fore grip and used a 500 round aircraft belt feed ammo can, that was carried in the operator's rucksack.
I really didnt wanna type it so I copy pasted it
Thing was like 200 fucking pounds…
It was an m1919 AA browning with a garand stock and a BAR carrying handle that was used in the battle of iwo jima that gave the guy who made it a medal of honour.
Corporal Tony Stein
United States Marine Corps Reserve
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving with Company A, First Battalion, Twenty-Eighth Marines, Fifth Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces on Iwo Jima, in the Volcano Island, 19 February 1945. Th...
Of course gun Jesus has a video on it
An American MG42 practically.
The Death Machine
is that cos hes old asf and has a flintlock from 1800bc?
bro has a gun from 600bc bet
Every country needs gun Jesus
Honestly tho dice can I have an M1 Garand and a Winchester 1897 please
shot down weejobie
immediately waits for another chopper just to get me
the salt on him is insane
Isnt his mastery 4 skin his bf4 skin
I simply just spam rao those losers lol
Anyone know if there’s a way to see how many times you’ve extracted in Hazard Zone?
Can you not see people through smoke using a thermal optic pretty sure that’s how it’s supposed to work
You should be able to see right through the smoke
Irish is in BF4?
yea from the goofy campaign
Yeah the tor needs a gun dpression buff
That's pretty cool
Think it depends on the smoke
I know thermal optics cant see through glass in real life
All the more reason this game should have had a campaign itself tbh
All the interesting world building in it is kinda going to waste without one
We also dont know what kinda thermal optics this game uses
its irrelevant they made it not see through smoke for gameplay reasons
Yeah a thermal that can't see through smoke does seem kinda pointless
it does see through environmental smoke effects that exist in the map
the permanent ones
anyone else getting a really spotty server connection?
its cool, thats enough
idk i just crashed cause I keep getting lag spikes
Yeah, if I can’t see enemies through smoke with a thermal thing this game is not realistic
I actually like the reticle on the thermal sights
Yeah, you're playing battlefield
it isnt realistic
i hope you can recover from this shocking news
This game doesnt even have thermal optics on tanks which is even worse than not being able to see through smoke
When thats a Tanks Mains source of sighting
It just proves yo’s point that the game isnt meant to be realistic
Yes
you don't need thermals at all in this game on tanks
ty
they did say they plan to add them tho
I know I was making the comparison
like im not against it, i just do not need them at all, i see everyone fine
visibility in tanks is like 10/10
shot him out of his stealth heli three times
I only want it to spot tanks from Long range
I once saw a stealth heli get 5 stinger missiles launched at it all at the same time when bro was high in the air
White phos bombs 
only people that'll need thermal scopes on tanks are railgun tank users sniping helis
Ew no
yea thats gonna be a thing, cant wait
Get that cringe sniping shit outta here
Be a real tanker and snipe them bitches with SABOTs
bro its the only thing that can take down a superhind with 2 people repairing in the back
hind is broken, so is tor
siege railgun tank genuively the best coutner against that
Fighting fire with fire does not equal good in this game
yeah but you gotta do what you gotta do
the issue is that many sectors have no TOR, so you just get ransacked on those ones
I once had a match where our condor kept sacrificing himself to kill the hind
it isnt a fun experience as a defender to auto lose sectors like they have it set up to be right now
i think the superhind is only overpowered in breakthrough
on conquest there's so many players so youre getting shot form everywhere
Bro jet rammed it and detonated like 8 bricks of c5 with his friends
but breakthrough you know where most of em are shooting from
it's also imbalanced on conquest
so you can easily avoid rockets
It’s not shocking
it's less broken in conquest, but it's not balanced
It just like that sometimes
thats cause all the squads are full
The game just dont want you to have a squad
or there are ones missing spots but are private
Doesn't matter anyways I got put into the lobby a couple minutes before it ended
The corpse of a f35 dropped on me in flashpoint conquest on F sector
While I was in a building
Thats Just Funny
I like how tank turrets in this game when they pop off can destroy stuff
i had a halftrack that just got v1'd land on me upside down and trap me in bfv. burned to death
That's lit
wish i had it recorded 
i hate transport helis so much, aa is useless lmao
The sounds of gunshots engulf the area so I couldn't hear revving engines
And then I got bonked by an approaching armor on wheels
:>
this fucking heli keeps flying behind the tower in orbital lmao. cant even do shit
Honestly tho respect for battlefield for giving us B&T guns (MP9 and APC9)
?
Just the mp9 and the new smg cause a lot of devs dont give B&T credit
They’re a Swiss gun manufacturer
i havent fked around with Zain, is his airburst worth a shit?
oh its worth a shit alright
you can kill enemies behind cover thats the whole gist of him
but you can also use the sph to do that so hes kinda useless now
why the hell is the nightbird so op
its not op its the pilot that is good
this game rewards good players
keep in mind it only takes 1 tv rocket to take down a nightbird
i dont disagree but i do feel they are overly rewarded in particularly the nightbird
That was before the design was bought by B&T
Steyr made the TMP9
armor piercing has gotta be the most useless ammo type no?
i would argue subsonics
im trying to use it to get the railgun
but only so many vehicles are light enough for it
would be cool if it did a tiny bit of dmg to heavy vehicles
whats the assignment for the railgun
i never saw it since i unlocked it in season 3
500 dmg to vehicle with main weapon
kk
you could try ap ubgl if you have one unlocked as well
didnt think of that good idea
dont forget you can grind stuff vs the ai in the coop mode
cat helmets and anime skins update when?
you were right was able to grind it in 1 match lol

Bots in co op mode are annoying af they snipe you out of the sky with a tank or m5 recoilless out of nowhere

Bots more effective at anti air than human players. This says a lot about society
Yes
They dont even need lock ons
And even with lock ons some humans are struggling
Yeah its very annoying
I mean if im just hovering with a helicopter then its my fault they shoot me out the sky. But im literally agile and on the move all the time and they still snipe me
I wanna play bfv is the game still active on Xbox
He just needs to uninstall
Anyone looking to party up?
Somewhat last i checked
Is there a trench shotgun?
I didnt really like bfv
I just wanna try it tbh
its ok
Since its on gamepass I have nothing to lose
exactly
I prefer 2042 but its alright
5 does have a lot of guns
Gonna storm the beaches of Normandy with my Garand
No normandy map
What
not a big fan of the weapon balance tho
WHAT KINDA WORLD WAR 2 GAME DOESNT HAVE A NORMANDY MAP
Idk just didnt have one that i can recall
Is there at least Iwo Jima
Epic
Tho i will say bf5 has some of the most frustrating maps for breakthrough in the entire franchise
Unfortunate
I wish bf1 was still active I would love to play again just to fuck people with my Martini Henry
The flamethrower pistol is so stupid annoying
And dont get me started on the jungle carbine
There’s a what pistol
Flamethrower pistol
The Einstossflammenwerfer 46 to be specific
Aggravating ass weapon
I need to see this
They gotta mufuckin pocket flamethrower
Yeap
Are Liz's rockets a good-ish counter for snipers, or generally a good option to cause damage from a distance - mostly flanking enemies.
They're for vehicles. Nothing else.
You gotta have a direct hit to kill anyone with one
I love quick scoping tanks with lis
The javelin is better at anti ground armor
True lol
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BOOM
I swear enemy team liz’s are gods with the missile but liz’s on my team couldnt hit a chopper if it was sitting still on the ground
Awesome, thanks for the responses.
25 objective ribbons. devs aren't playing their game anymore
isn't it capped at 3 per game?
Yep. At least as far as I know it is
Not exactly difficult to do over a period of time.
Just play conquest and run that latv recon
it just takes ages to get thats all. last weeks bonus mission was way easier
Yeah last week was awesome
It's annoying yeah but I don't think it's the worst thing.
I actually managed to hack a vehicle and the guy crashed his condor after it lmao
I’ve been slacking on my battlepass grind
is there anyone who knows what the 2 new DM7 legendary skin optics look like
I'm rank 85 and I need to get back into it.
I know some guy who had rank 100 on day 1
There was a glitch that lets you earn 100 000 xp per round or something
In portal
also people are paying to get lvl 100
Yeah i mean if youre so rich that you literally shit money i guess they can do what they want
100 euros for some battlefield coins is criminal
laughs in jeff bezos
Disposable money
🤣🤣

There's the fact there are people who can't play as long as anyone else so.
Can't say I blame them.
they added missions + xp boosts
This 2x extra xp in the weekends should be vanilla speed
muh normandy
it aint too bad + you can farm in empty portal servs
I farmed
Stop sweating at the battlepass you goober
I had 172 assists and drone spots
Resupplies
And only got 23000 xp in the end
On some 128 player portal rush server
And it said Full XP
Muh Omaha Beach
Excuse you I actually have fun.
Besides I need to go get 10k for the RM277.

2.5k left I think.
10k kills? Why
Why not.
Wait what will 10k kills unlock you?
Ways satisfaction

Cause way is a sweaty goober
Teach me your way
I don't know way
Neither do I
Anyone wana play im on ps5
Do we like the vertical fore grip on the ak12?
Need a ripping off limbs feature
BF isn’t CoD
Anyone from Portugal
Limbs can be ripped off irl, it’s just a lil realism
Could do it but will probably be annoying on the servers.
Gore exponentially raises the games rating
And it's kinda pointless for a game unless youre trying to traumatize people
Muh gore
I think it can get worse. But still its stupid
Everything doesnt have to be a gorefest.
Somebody gets shot there's not a giant blood splat either most of the time
People dont want gore for realism they just want blood and gross
I understand that
BF isn’t a realism game
You want realism ready or not or squad or arma 3 might be for you
Thats not even it. You just dont want a brutally bloody war game. The game has enough realism we dont need to make it into a horror show
Like BF1 was dark but it wasnt a fullbore nightmare
Watch "All is quiet on the western front" if you want that. Good movie too
Sure it does cause it’s not like tanks get fucked up by javalins irl and in bootcamp unless if you’re squad automatic rifle man you usually keep your gun in semi auto also not to mention the fact that the scars a hunk of heavy crap IRL lots of service members can vouch garand thumb had a video on it
Yea but like a tank goes down and its not like screaming dismembered bodies try to crawl out
Thank god
Like the kid doesnt want realism he wants horror game gore
I mean those t-90s in Ukraine rn are getting demolished by even dropping a nade in an open hatch those t90s are getting blown sky high
it's extra work that doesn't add anything
Like fallout style bodies exploding not like the harrows of war
as znath said, it's only going to raise the game's age rating, which means less people will be able to get the game
If they made like the brutality actually realistic people would be throwing up and unable to stand the game
the physics properties of the limbs would just add to the stress on the servers and frankly it messes with the tone of the game
I think you'd probably only get to this point if you did it as a VR game to get as close as possible to "being there"
But it's a point well received anyway
Lots of factors that are still absent like the smells and the actual sounds being nearby
if a simple heartbeat puts me on edge, I wouldn't stand a game like that
unless you can turn it off of course
Nobody wants that
They just wanna pew pew bombs and when their HP goes down they start over
Agreed- I played FEAR ages ago when it first came out and honestly just couldn't. Never been into horror movies/games
Battlefield 3 and 4 had some horrific screaming and yelling at times
I mean 12 gauge buck shot IRL point blank would take your head off and I understand that but I just feel like BF isn’t meant to be realistic yes the guns in the game for the most part are real. If you like games like BF that give you a little bit more of the realism feature in squad you go down in like 1-2 shots but the limbs won’t be ripped off because it puts stress on the server
hearing no where to run by martha vandella still gives me ptsd from battlefield vietnam PC
Launch state round intros and outros were psychologies horrors already
Znarth I have 3 cousins who served my grandpa served in 3 wars I’ve shot guns IRL I know what guns do in fact I’ve heard first hand from people who fought in falluija what 7.62 does to someone I think you’re really under estimating what people know
Its given some powerful people a dumb impression that m16s blow people up and a 9mm can "blow a lung entirely out"
And youve been there
Or you just absorbed that info by osmosis
And yes buck shot point blank would take your head off
Knowing an expert doesnt make an expert
And what makes you an expert then? Have you even shot a gun in real life?
Yes
ThAT wAs FuN
I’m ready for round two
Yea anyway this is stupid
2042 was so clearly meant to be a battle royale game
Clearly meant to be since it never had the mode
I doubt it, it would make literally zero sense to make your mainline battlefield title a br
It would die instantaneously
No battlefield fans would want it because it isn’t battlefield, and br fans probably wouldn’t like it because battlefield brs haven’t been all that good
Aight man continue to talk out the side of your neck about stuff you think you know about.
A battle royale doesn’t just make a game good, it actually needs to be unique
Nobody gives a shit gator go watch some war movies if you want to just see gross stuff
Its lack of scoreboard, inclusion of specialists, lack of modes, lack of maps, lack of guns, cringy ass lines, skins out the ass, speaks volumes about what the game was originally designed to be before dice rightfully trashed it, firestorm was a warcrime it was so bad
Well I just attribute that to a lack of time
my battle pass progression has been reset somehow
I guarantee if you know a combat veteran theyve seen things so horrible it keeps them up at night and theyll never tell you.
bug?
How would i know that.
You’re turning this around you legit said above you wish peoples limbs were torn off in battle field I don’t have time to argue with stupid children
And the map design to the fact that this team hadn’t designed a modern battlefield since most joined post bf1, considering that AND the 128 player count is what led to the maps feeling off
Right only children would want to make a game extra gory
Dismemberment would only add something else for the game to bug out on 
Client side limb physics could easily lead to the cs chicken scenario
Like what you run to cover and find a mangled ally... oo..
Inproved immersion in a game where a 30mm wont 1 hit an enemy
Adds nothing, plus it would ruin the revive system
Unless you get headshot you can usually be saved by a medic in bf games
I just picture the Lego building sound effect
Yea people get shot
Their fun-meter goes to 0 and they go to sleep
Then medic revives them and adds more fun-meter
TF2 had dismemberment but tf2 was meant to be comedic
Yea like stupid kid level dismemberment for goofy stupid blood for children
But thats not realistic
Like adding a system to have somebodys face ripped off from an indirect blast or losing a limb.
So whats left blowing up a jeep and seeing limbs fly for one moment of
"Hooooo man see that"
they should trully fix the bug were the battlepass tab disepears
and the collection one
I wouldnt know
If its a glaring interface bug im sure theyre workin on it
But now that i know somebody whos experienced that bug. Im an expert on it.
I dont mess with battlepass much cause nothin there for me :v
Repairbotting the brawler is a noble profession don't let anyone tell you otherwise
yeah the bugs the vets saw when bf2042 was released were pretty bad
FYI - GeForce Driver update to Version 531.41 today.
Nah the kid was wanting 2042 to be more gorey for realism. Cause he "knows 3 veterans and owns a gun" so he knows better than me
Im gonna put a modest bet that I know more veterans
noted as a thing to try
Can someone explain to me how to do the new EE hunt I have been trying to do it for 2days now and I even looked at the backgrounds to see what I have to do and the Background card is not there for xbox series x, I did look at YT to do it step by step but nothing is showing up in the maps like no satellites dishes an nothing is showing in manifest.. Like this EE hunts ar starting to piss me off as I has problems with last season EE hunt as well where I couldn't interact with the raidos.. If someone knows how to fix this for me I will be grateful
Tf is EE hunt
Easter egg
theres a new ee hunt?
Was out last month and was solved almost on the spot
i dont really mind the lack of modes and 'skins out the ass' since thats how you make post-launch moners with a live service game anyways, the real problem is the excuse being used with live service to basically bandaid the game for its first year of what would normally be actual content
lack of modes idrc about since most people after a while just stick to what they know best anyways: tdm, rush, conq, bt
they may have disabled the ee event, they usually activate them near the end of every season, thats probably why you arent seeing the stuff for em
It seems a bit odd to do that 4 weeks after the new season just dropped 🤔 and it's a bit shit for ea to do that if that is true it should for the hole season if u ask me
if ur talking about the EE that has the spearhead cube getting blown up by the missile then ye thats the one that got disabled since it was the s3 ee stuff
unless this is a new one then idrk
It's linked with 3 maps Shepherd, manifest and exposure.. Look up jack frags on YT for the run down of it
I wish they’d remove the fact that you can put tanks of roofs
looks like im suffering the same issue - battle pass has disappeared from main menu and all of my masteries are reset to 0
Most rootops you cant at least
I wish they would fix the minibird. How can it outperform the AA
i wish this server had a support channel
What AA can a minibird outperform
Yes
shoot the minibird with 60mm flak once you unlock it
Like
Relevant talking about the game
"Guys has anyone had [problem of the day]
-45min of trouble shooting and people suggesting to reinstall windows-
60mm flak in general is totally worth unlocking
Only thing that bothers me about flashpoint is like bruh ..... if you're gonna repaste renewal foliage then please just make the map entirely underground like the first concept art implied. It can't be THAT much harder to just expand the underground bit
it's so consistent and it's always the same issues
Yea if there was a support room people could check pinned messages and fixes
one of those new forum layout channels for support would cut down on people asking the same question so much
"Guys can anyone..."
"Check pinned"
Solved
And if somebody finds a good solution that isnt reinstalling the game or windows. Pin that too
The map is just another stranded in the sense that you have this AWESOME underground bit just like the ship but it is so laughably underused to the point that it doesn't even show up on any gamemmode besides conquest. Like what a waste of resources to even make the underground.
"Use reacts if youve had this same error"
cant have more underground, vehicle farmers wouldn't get to play
wont somebody please think about the poor tankers going 80 - 1
Dice didn't actually make Flashpoint, it was Ripple effect this time
Honestly they could easily have more underground. The ship on stranded is wayyyy bigger than the underground section of this map and yet stranded still has such a lack of focus on the ship lol
But frankly this should've just been an exception kind of map where there are no air vehicles and just ample room for ground vehicles and make the map entirely underground with large vehicle spaces
i agree entirely but that would have required new models for the map
I'm aware. So I expected better
ripple effect are responsible for some of the best maps including BF4
but this time they fumbled
Expected better? From a studio that's not really well known compared to DICE?
I beg to differ lol ripple effect carried BF4 near the end of it's life cycle
So they are pretty well known
They messed up every map so far and recycled a lot. Stranded and Discarded. 2 cargo boat maps. It's like they couldn't up come with anything new
small indie company doesn't have budget to make destructible environments
Well yes. DICE did indeed mess those up, but ripple effect were the goat up until flashpoint
shipping containers
can't expect this in 128p anyway
the tickrate are lower for this same reason
another reason to hate 128p
Does the vertical fore grip make the ak 24 more accurate?
Is the lack of destruction from 128 players?
Different grips have other traitd for whatever reason
the grips come with downsides as well as upsides
and the effect is mostly minor; between 10% and 15%
Man if they removed that shit ass grenade launcher off the scar h that thing would be OP
plus the accuracy grips decrease spread, which is already borderline non-existent
the nade launcher is one of the only relevant underbarrel attachments currently
it has basically no downside
and the upside is more aoe
too many players put a lot of weight on the game
it can't handle adding destructible environment with it
even the hz tickrate is 45 and not 60
sfar grenade launcher is actually pretty good and the funny thing is i have a feeling its literally just the same grenade launcher on other ARs
huge boon compared to 10% less spread when ads when the gun can land full auto bursts at over 100m already
I think the nade launcher is dog ass but maybe that’s just me
its just on the SFAR you have to use it, so thats why
sfar AP and frag nades are definitely useful for getting light vehicles (even tanks) and infantry in cover
im pretty sure it functions exactly the same as the other ones
I meant to say I dislike all nade launchers
AP 40mm is the best infantry option vs vehicles right now and HE 40mm has a pretty generous kill range along with big aoe
new 2042 controls make using grenade launchers a little annoying
i have to hold down dpad instead of the good ol tap
I just can’t seem to figure out the damage radius on it
then you either have incendiary for a little bit of area denial (kind of bad but more utility is still good) or smokes, which is universally useful
I use the 40 HE nade launcher on the RM68
I used to use incinidaries to shut down doorways yea
Like on stranded
Fire one into a hall. Its done
I’ve used nade launcher as a utility tool before which imo is what it should be used for
the 40mm HE can pump out kills but it does feel inconsistent i agree
this game in general just feels inconsistent
I wish the devs would spend time on at least making the vault weapons at least decent
i land it basically on people's feet and it doesnt kill, and i land it on a rock 5m away from them and it does a full 100 to them
The portal weapons are unusable. Accuracy and range are garbage to AOW weapons
look at these beautiful rectangles that have no destructible elements or interactivity at all in the game about blowing things up
I just ignore most of the vault weapons. Plenty of weapons still.
wouldn't it be great if they were in every map
"When you want an industry standard shipping container go with Blue-crate! We're the MOST industry standard crate container offering 30% more room!"
but the stat bars say they're exactly the same! do you really think dice would do that? just lie, on the internet?
Vault weapons are ok novelty but most arent actually good
The lack of modules and ammo tyles generally screws em
having actual recoil doesn't help either
unless you get one of them that has minimal recoil
they're consistently inconsistent you could say
Ywa the m39 kicks like a .50cal, hits like a 9mm
The only vault guns that I think are decent are m416 and the m16
But they lack attachments
if we had even a remote knowledge of their stats it would help but dice is allergic to that
The 240 is ok and the xm8 is ok but...
The Ak 74u is actually so bad
The GOL is ok too same problems
Ammo capacity etc
Also imo they should let you double up on ammo types
Like all 3 slots standard mags if you want
Yea 556 is 556
thats me with any weapon and i always get 2 tapped 
bust out the svk
M17 pistol could be a cool addition
Aka the marine pistol
It’s cool they have the AK 12 in the game
m17 + m9a3/4 and i'm good with pistols
i really only use the glock when im seriously playing, other sidearms feel meh

The old marines pistol?
Still can’t quite figure out what that ac 42 is based off of though
The marines still use the m17 no?
the sph is damn bullshit
Itd make more sense for the sig to be in the game than the glock. But a lot of foreign militaries use the glock
Too bad irl kalashnikov blocked the gas block. I’ve seen a few reports now of Russian troops in Ukraine saying the ak 12 is so bad
My brother bought a glock mariner which was intended to be for export for a foreign military special ops program that got cancelled
Lol. Renewal BT, D-sector, we got D1 and we’re taking D2, radio announcer says we’re losing D1 and then my claymore went off and we didn’t loose the objective. 
So they had to sell em by lottery and distribute them to gun shops at retail cost with no mark up
I think an ammo conversion on the ak 24 from 545 to 762 would be cool
Because then you have the Ak 15
I dont see a huuge benefit in like adding "every 9mm handgun ever" though. Most of the benefits of one gun over another are ergonomics and such which mean nothing in a game
more guns
something to note though is games will add iconic guns
Like example the only reason CoD keeps adding the desert eagle is cause it’s iconic
Redoubling over the same gun over and over. They should make skins that change the gun model instead
which is essentially what bf4 did, and im all for it to be completely honest
Cause reliability never matters in battlefield
Ak 12 and ak 15 share the same model
Ie the 1911
gives the player more options, reaches more players personal favorite guns and allows them to play while still being effective (nobody misses out and the game is more engaging)
Except one takes 762 one doesn’t
i dont use the 1911 cause its vault tbh
although i do love the 1911
I think that’s something mw 2019 did right
They added the gun builder
mw19 was great, i just hate how the devs bullshitted console players out of a fov slider
So you could have an m4 but if you attached that 20 inch m16 barrel and scope a bipod and the m16 butt stock you had the mk 12
its a really big thing for modern fps games and they didnt wanna give players on next gen an 'advantage' over those who would be hit by 'performance' on last gen
That also surprises me about this game m16 but no m4
so i basically have to buy the game on PC to ever want to play it again lol
The other thing too is I see bf starting to add meme weapons like Idk when that cross bow was added but I feel like it’s meant to meme on people
S1 or someting?
Yea crossbow throwing knives special takedowns
You have to keep the 16 year olds interested
I mean the other thing too is the super 500 if you go into a modern conflict for the most part@you would use the super 500 for breaching specifically
pretty sure you could still kill a man with it
its just the shorty 12g from bf4 rebranded
If i breach a place i put a big ol bomb on the wall and remove the wall
exactly
Doors nah
You could but why would you ever bring something meant for up on your face style of fuck your day up
When people have ars
hey guys, can someone help me by explaining how I complete this mission?
And just shoot ya from distance
Affected enemy vehicles or allied vehicles protected from lock-on
My favorite example is those short buildings in renewal
Walls are unbreakable byt the shuttered windows arent
I mean garand thumb made a video on using shot guns in combat
So screw the door. Blow off the walls
cus bf2042 is a game and in no way should be compared to real life
Did anyone start the game this morning and got their unlocks finally unlocked? For example I was mastery 68 on RM68 and I had some unlocks that glitched?
Shotguns are pretty specific situations for actual combat
They used em falluja they said that benelli m4 reaked havoc
They're probably using tungsten loads too
Cause army doesnt care what it does to a barrel
From what I’ve heard is that the marines chose the benelli m4 cause of the fact it’s semi auto
ak19 exists incase you don't know of it
I’d choose a minigun
There was a prototype mini-minigun in 556
me, sorry to bother you, but can you help me with a question?
About this?
Yes
Well that just requires you to place Blasco’s gadget next to a vehicle
I already made four points in this mission but I don't know how
But it’s rather situational so it could take some time to do
I was @ quoted for this?

Because Blasco’s gadget has a radius whereby any vehicle inside cannot get locked, so you get a point for that mission every time that happens
in this case, the blasco dart? so i have to use it on the tanks or whatever until someone uses a missile to destroy them?
Not the dart, her big tower thing
Is that what the ak 24 is based on?
The dart is something all recon characters can equip
First time I’ve heard of that
Just place that big tower (I think it’s the 3rd gadget), next to a vehicle and eventually you’ll get it
thanks man it helped me a lot i was thinking i had to use the dart
Thanks man
👍
Engineers should have the dart but because clown world? Recons have it
the dart sucks and you should use anything other than it
Its stupid
Use Rao instead
I'm starting to play 2042 now, so it's all kind of new to me
Why would you use the dart over the soflam
dart was always a recon gadget
All recons suck
He’s basically a stinger
I do not have it yet
and why would an engineer give up a launcher
Id rather have a tracer dart than a repair tool on an engineer
L
its a teamwork combo
the biggest issue is that the two non-lis engies have their second gadget slot taken up by garbage
I feel the repair torch is so much more situational than it used to be.
I hardly ever get a chance to repair tanks
Even when I’m trying to
Well most of them lack the understanding to sit still when you try to repair them
That’s true.
How 2 repair torch
- Walk up to vehicle
- Repair vehicle
Congratulation
Yea and i dont wanna be highlighted by every vehicle abuser as their repair bitch
If they let you. Or if they even need it
i agree with this
get away from me dirty tank user i picked engineer to kill you, not abuse repair
id trade repair tool for anything else in a heartbeat
Yea literally mame any gadget I'll take it over repair tool except for revive
Same reason
tbh better off picking fucking recon, assault doesnt get emps nor beacon
idk I've been able to use the repair tool just fine. If there's vehicles in need of repair or being blown up I'm there (when im not playing Irish or Mackay)
slap a beacon relatively close to a tank and you get multiple tries at the c5 rush lottery
roll your dice ladies and gentlemen
or get the beacon spotted from across the map
i aint here to be useful im here because tanks must die
killing vehicles is useful
agreed, but they just respawn in a minute or two
it usually takes longer to kill them with full focus on them during that time
then you blow them up again
every time i hop in a vehicle every engineer under the sun instantly spots me and shoots me
i got the same luck lol
the most effective way to play is to accept RNG death from vehicle bombardment
which is lame, dumb, stupid, poorly designed, not fun, stupid, and should have been fixed from bfv
or some dick in a hind just positions himself above me and i have no choice
theres always 300 projectiles per minute in 2042 but you have this goofy thing called Irish APS that denies all 300
its fair and balanced
Not fun though
I seen a dude the other day who was sitting with one of them railgun tanks and shooting people from a distance with one of those APS things behind him
vehicle farming is all about fun
it is kinda if you dont play like a bitch
but ye if you are sitting still the entire game, i agree
lil bitch tactics
theres a limited amount of fun in the match; your job is to ensure YOU have the fun, and all those infantry get nothing
and when they get fecked they jump out of the tank to die and gift the enemy a tank
its a numbers game
i'm always pushing for kpm so i force myself to take risks. the tankers who are afraid to die are lame as fuck
im always with the infantry as much as possible
I hat pilots that fly around giving 0 air support
free tank generator (works 100% of the time)
- Find enemy tank
- Position yourself next to it so you can use your repair tool on it and it can't shoot you
Expected result is enemy driver will hop out allowing you to steal the tank
Hate*
the game should be balanced to encourage pushing tanks
As I’m still learning the correct balance between aggressiveness and camping, I often end up over commiting, requiring me to tone it back a notch
its not so bad in bf2042 but in bfv for some reason it was crazy the amount people gifted tanks 
I did it once
@copper ice the fact that they are rewarded for sitting still is just baffling
But sitting still isn’t fun, I don’t know why people bother doing that
Also those pilots whom don’t go down with the ship
and its been like that half a year now
Me when the British team has 2 tigers (thanks blueberries)
Rail gun tank be like
they dont like dying
but i didn't repair, instead I para to a tank
Any chance you have to push take it. Most people in this game are braindead
those were the days
its because tanks in 2042 just die immediately to triple c5, while take minimal damage from launchers
in bfv you had to combine it accompanied by slower movement speed and shorter dynamite tossing distance leading to tanks on the verge of death a lot more often
2042 tanks just die when anyone has c5
which makes them ass to play up close
Also I’ve been seeing more and more morons using the wildcat that can’t even shoot down transport helix
they are very ass upclose
while launchers are slow enough that they can be repaired through multiple launcher shots so you stay alive way way way more often when just camping
yea you have to stay out of jump toss c5 range
I see morons taking the ram over the wildcat when enemy air rule the sky
the way to resolve this is to crank up the damage on everything and reduce respawn time of vehicles so they're strong and die easily but are basically always in the fight
People are so cooked
Hi lets do hazard trophies ?
bfv tanks were more resistant to dynamite i swear
launchers just dont do anywhere near enough damage for how long the reloads are
or you only got 2 dynamite instead of 3
The launcher damage is fine, I honestly think the major problems stem from the self repair ability and permanent Irish aps
didnt it still only take 3 to blow them up?
you spawn with 2 but you max 3, i think
Or if anything, just reduce the reload time of launchers
and 3 killed everything afaik
i remember tank hunting in bfv and id be dynamiting, anti tank nading along with piat
right that makes sense
the tiger with the anti sticky passive was pretty busted though
launcher damage is fine if the reload was halved and you spawned with 2 more shots
cause dynamite needed to stick for full damage
It just kind of feels bad when it’s so slow
then you unlock the S-mine launcher on the tiger.... lol
Damn.... PS Plus free period still has a couple weeks left but I can't find a game for Flashpoint Rush XL .... I guess all the newbies got bored of playing the same map 24/7 lol
6.5 second reload time is INSANELY slow
If they spawned with 4 shots off the bat, cut down the reload to say 4 or 4.5 seconds, all the while raising the cool-down of the tank self repair ability it might feel a bit more impactful
especially since your first successful shot gets negated by repairs or APS
if someone is repairbotting tank they literally just outrepair 2 recoilless dudes
which is total horseshit
It’s lack of drop and good scope ranging makes it insane for range
you can snipe with it
And since we don’t have angular damage modifiers anymore you know exactly how much damage you’ll do each time
they need a piat equivalent that does more damage but is harder to use
Fatman
they need to give boris and Crawford a double barreled m5
launch them mini nukes
hi.
give them that 4 tube launcher thing
bring back the fliegerfaust and make it shoot AP nades
lol
M32 when?
Just crank the explosive spam up even more. Why not
fwumb fwumb fwumb
i can see the quality of ideas here has not improved.
I forgot the /s
we aint allowed to have some fun
Submarines when?
Speaking realistically. Cluster grenades can go fuck themselves
Could you imagine that
this game doesn't even have boats.
wouldnt surprise me at all to see them return battle pickups like this, even though explosive spam is wack
there's barely any water
Naval warfare and just getting schmucked by a submarine abuser
