Bad co 2 AEK has an olive handguard and full iron sights.
oh i didn't mean to super-react lol whups
once again, we need the fliegerfaust
Bf3 AEK is colder and has half its iron sights.
Have like a rocket launcher that launches quickly 4 small rockets
Which is a nice way to tell them apart.
It didn’t have those irons in og bf3
Like 4 of those 40mm laser guided guys
Honestly they feel kinda weird
Cause they had DRIP that’s about it
Time to put kobra sight with the fore grip and heavy barrel and to ruin people.
And they used FAL’s
their camo looked like shit, literally.
I am fully confident the next batch of vault weapons have terrible handing/recoil control like the other ass vault weapons
Can't stop asto.
Patiently awaiting the G3’s triumphant arrival to 2042
See way gets it
SA58 OSW would be cool to see.
YES
Battle rifles are fun as hell
YES PLEASE
i mean i guess, if Asto wants to larp as a cringe failed ethno-state then they're free to.
We hadit back in hardline and in this game I reckon I can see it doing well if balanced with a super quick reload.
See I don’t agree with their politics
Only their uniforms and weapon choices
Based.
Chinese wheeled armor with white walls
Absolute shitheap of a nation but their flag was cool
Can be said with old German uniforms
Add north korean super soldier skins
Yes
Add propaganda to portal PLEASE
By the way observer by handle do you mean how the gun generally plays or their literal handling stat which is a massive grey area?
Please do anything with portal
It's mostly the recoil control, how easily can you control your gun when firing
There's some old NK military parade and they wanted to be all
"We have kevlar armor tooooo" and its clearly like fake stuffed fabric
handling stat 
Yeah that's control.
The helical mags are supposedly real too
They'll probably be super easy to control.
200 rounds of 7.62 at the end of your barrel
so Way can stay true to his native
Thought I am more concerned over with spread and their damage over range.
as if Rhodesia was the only people to use the FAL, though. All those users of it and you choose to larp as the one that sucks the most ass?
But since they are vault weapons I'm guessing the based weapons will outperform them
BF1 heroes Sentry plushie
Is there any hope left for bf 2042 or should I just forget about it
EA misses so many merchandising opportunities
900 rpm AEK will be super tricky to balance.
Before I go to bed I only like them cause of the camo and their uniforms not saying they were the best
So we'll see how it'll go.
I mean for god sake the countries been gone for like 40 years now
Nah
Theyll go by the notion
"The faster it shoots the less damage it does"
I don't see the point at digging at asto for just liking their guns and that.
It'll most likely be that Znath.
Itll be like the pf51
Its a balancing method so bad and common its just industry standard
If they want the AEK to be relevant in the meta they'll need to push the power level of every thing else up.
Portal weapon
Meta
Pick one
Games always focus too much on raw ttk
As if you’re always going to be killing at exact optimal efficiency
Im sure itll be like most portal weapons
"That was fun"
-switches back to a real gun-
Yeah true Jack.
It is a problem if one gun can kill at lightning speed and everything else lags behind but there are ways to balance shit without just making them peashooters
Even though the m16 and AEK basically fire the same round. The aek will have some bogus balancing to make it do less effective damage
This game's gunplay has been fucked since the first recoil bug fix, because they've never bothered to adjust the recoil values to compensate for the fact that people can actually properly control the recoil now
Like increased bloom/worse handling
I mean if every 556 gun did the exact same damage then it would be a balance nightmare
Actually ironically the MTAR rips.
You need to take liberties for gameplay purposes
Yet not many people pick it because it is quite limiting. If anything that might give it some Lee way.
Imagine spelling armour without the u
imagine adding an unnecessary u
I see a lot of people complain about portal weapons sucking but I really never have that much trouble with them
They do literally make a 556 AEK
BREN mate
Wait are the update notes just this slideshow?
Just saiyan
Also the CZ Bren might fit into the game
Colour armour
Ah, ignore me
Like the rounds are basiically equivalent
Likewise for the Cadex Rifles
The RPK will fit really damn well though.
h
Cause mag fed lmg.
Aek?
Ono
MP443 Grach is something I'm looking forward to. Thing rips in portal
-add another 9mm-
Variety
Armour plate overhaul? Did armour apply to headshots before?
I think
Like an m9 would be sick
Maxim 9 cause stelth
I wish instead of adding 9mm after 9mm they'd just add skins to remodel the existing 9

Its not like one 9 is vastly different than the next same size 9
If they’re making the models and textures and sounds just for a skin they may as well make it its own weapon
Why
I think you’re misinterpreting what the point of weapon variety in a game is
Side topic.
Jack I see your pfp and I always think of Carl's car getting sucked into a jet engine.
Yea variety isnt 5 different identical pizzas
M9 has always been a nice spammy pistol.
Yeah they all fire the same bullet but they’re still different weapons
With good power behind it.
They all handle a bit differently with different stats and whatnot
There’s no downside to more choices
The differences between most 9mms will be ergonomics amd reliability. Neither of which apply to a game
Or his car getting turned into a triangle
By that logic why bother having both the m16 and the m416 if they both fire the same 5.56
Unless its loke a compact ba a full size you're nkt gonna get a ballistic difference between a glock
Yes!
Cause ballistically theyre the same
videogames arent concerned with what type of bullets a gun uses irl
It doesn't add to the game it jhst reskins yet another identical performing weapon
Except it does
even in a game like bfv with a lot of similar weapons, there is variance enough to justify multiple weapons
If everyone is using the exact same statistically identical weapon with different coats of paint
That’s boring
ease of us, slight perk here, con there
The m5a3 fires 5.56. What's the point of that if the m16a3.
The m416 and the m16 handle rather differently in spite of their real world similarities because that’s what makes for a good shooter
Easy. It's because they perform quite differently.
If you out 556 through 20 different same length barrels youre gonna get the same velocity. It doesnt matter if the same barrel is on a 416 or a m16
M5a3 fires 6.8
Thats one reason
none of this matters to a videogame
Yeah the m416 have more accuracy and better recoil to boot over a range versus the m16a3.
Realism isn’t a factor here man
The standard rounds for the m5a3 are 5.56.
At least not in this context
Or even better then. Why shove 6.8 rounds into the m5a3 when the rm277 exists.
It should be 6.8 cause jts 6.8
The new update is on next Tuesday?
Seems so pepsi.
So you want one single weapon for every bullet caliber and that’s it?
Does that not sound boring?
Battlefield isn’t some comp game man
A game with lots of different guns for lots of different people allows one to explore different play styles.
Unless theyre wildly different ie a m4 vs a m16 because the different barrel lengths change the velocity and handling
Don't think it's just the matter of comp cause that's completely different.
Well theres a difference between like a 9mm uzi and a 9mm mp5 clearly
talks about wildly different.. then quotes barrel length differences..
Comp games are more likely to try and cut out the fat is what I’m saying
Barrel length changes ballistics
thats less different than most weapons already in game though..
But two 9mm pistols will have basically the same exact ballistics
Like how halo infinite got rid of the covenant carbine just because they had other similar guns already
Yeah true. I have a comp mentality stuck on me but I always think instead what else can be done for another gun to make it viable.
That to me just screams “no fun”
They got rid of the plasma rifle.
Which is my main over reaching point.
Which is a sin.
Was 9mm pistols dont vary a lot if any
Yes
You keep talking about ballistics and real world similarities which just aren’t a factor in a video game
What would you have a difference between a glock 19 and a m9 be in game besides appearance.
a ton of things.. its a video game.. you can change any value..
When you have the Glock, mp443, m93r, etc you can have variety in weapon performance among a class of guns even if they’re all pretty similar irl
It doesn't matter if they fire the same round at the end of the day it's a tool.
Truly nobody cares that they all shoot the same bullet
Like make one wildly more powerful because the square slide makes the shooties shootier?
no..
Got the pink Paik Playercard 
do you know how many "cogs" there are to tweak a weapon in agame?
The one that hits harder is to force you to people more accurate.
Oh the square exactly same weight slide makes them LESS shooty
The faster one allows you to spam fire more, miss more and not be fucked.
No it’s just cause they choose to
This is the dumbest conversation
Way, was the grenade launcher bullet drop bug never fixed?
hrec, vrec, rof, dmg, dmg drop off, spread, sprint to fire, etc etc etc... theres like at least 20 stats to change on a weapon to differentiate them
Oooooor
You could add a lower caliber gun that shoots faster
and no it doesnt boil down to ammo type at all
In hardline we had tonnes of battle rifles. Yeah they technically for the most part fired the same round.
But they all had different stats and niches.
It does ammo type changes a lot for pistols
irl
The hk51 had a dual burst like mode. The FN FAL fired incredibly fast but was really hard to control, the scar was the second slowest firing battle rifle but it was the most accurate conversely.
NOT IN VIDEO GAMES
Short barrel it dips way sooner, with extended barrel it flies further without dipping.
Oh that's a side effect of barrels.
I just don’t understand the argument that games should have LESS stuff in them
Yeah I know, but was it never fixed?
Yeah they're aware but it's probably like a hard bug.
its like znath is just intentionally ignoring the "caliber doesnt matter for videogames" statement we all keep making...
Cause I’m noticing it with the RM68
I don't think they can do anything about it unless they do a massive change.
I don’t even know what calibre a gun shoots cause it such a non factor
it literally doesnt matter at all
But they managed to fix the Masterkey’s similar bug 
For the most part in this game yeah.
Probably because it's a different projectile versus GL.
Why should a car game have more than one muscle car? They’re all pretty similar right
Really what matters in this game is the ammo type you are firing.
any tips to t1'ing the m44? been trying rush portal and breakthrough but just getting killed instead
Remember everyone, if your k/d is less than 5 we would all appreciate it if you refrained from meta discussions ! Thanks and have a great weekend !
Yeah don't bother with the m44.
I will bother with the m44
kd is a borderline meaningless stat on its own.. and 5 kdr is huge
I got all four snipers done because of rush xl.
Use the M44 as a pocket sniper, and go for the head, as it can ohk headshot up to 99m
I don't want to do it again.
Kpm could be a better metric
I don’t make the rules ! You can check your kd in #stats
Kpm matters more the way I see it.
i just want the t1 cause ocd, guess i will bash my head against the wall in portal till i get the remaind 700 or so kills i need
kpm is a much better indication of skill
Ptfo
Kd can be inflated so easily it doesn’t mean much in this game
its hard to get 2+ kills a minute, vs getting a 5 kdr could mean you went 5-1 in a 30 minute match
I good mix of kpm, kd and spm is what makes a good player.
It's also easy to be a bitch and artificially pad your kd in a vehicle and or have friends to revive you so.
Let’s be real none of the stats really matter
I like using them as a mark of improvement.
Remember the ”skill” stat number? 
amount of repair matters
ideally win % would, but playing something like 128 conquest solo means you cant do shit to carry anyway
if it's above 0 you should be banned
If you know you are playing proactively then I use kd to measure my own performance but determining someone else’s prowess using their kd isn’t really very viable
I’m suddenly curious about what everyone’s absolute lamest personal nitpick is
No idea how that was even calculated lol
Mine is that I don’t like that dot in the center of the crosshair
I hate the parachutes in this fucking game.
But I do remember my skill number went to over 1000 after my 107/0 round in BF3 as attackheli gunner 
i hate that weapons have a default fire mode of single fire...
well some of them? its quite random isnt it
There’s 3 I think?
The way your camera sort of shifts around, not rotation but physical movement in the world
When reloading
BSV-M, G57 and P125
I hate that you don’t throw the grenade right away when you switch to it
surely you want to click the glock 600 times a second instead of just burst firing
I set mine to auto throw.
There’s a setting for it
Middle mouse button to throw.
Oh shit TIL
The bsvm is annoying because I have the close range rounds on default but I have to switch the fire mode to full auto
But if you have more than one it tries to auto throw those as well
So throwing knives go poof
two of those are close to my "mains" so yea.. its annoying me pretty frequently
I hate that if you have more than one grenade and auto throw it tries to throw those as well
It's as awkward as when someone charges you with one round in their garand and both if you can hear the ping go off and so you can telepathically hear the person go oh shit.
My second lamest nitpick is that turning off “damage based hitmarkers” doesn’t stop the killshot hitmarker from showing up
I’d say my sidearm main is gonna be the Super 500 once I get it to T1 and MP28 and PF51, but I want a laser to it.
Oh yeah wouldn't you believe I ran out of ammo as a support many times, marse.
What broken vault weapon are we gonna get this time.
You turn off hit markers 
I would shoot at a guy, my fg42 would prematurely run dry and then they'd see me run like shit.
No
I turn off damage-based hitmarkers
I.e. headshot hitmarkers just show up as the default hitmarker
Ah, gotcha
But that option doesn’t disable the killshot one for whatever reason lol
MoH:WF had support have a infinity ♾ symbol on their spare ammo so they didn’t have to resupply themselves.
I’d rather leave it on to differentiate headshots from body shots
I hate that supports never drop ammo
Hi
MoH:WF the og specialists 
The eternal problem
Think i played support a lot but mostly supporting fire not like up peoples rears
Kinda worse now because now supports are also medics so now some people that might have been carrying ammo haul medbags
Yeah 117k resupplies. If you ever saw a random box on bf5 and got ammo from it it'll most likely be from me!
is there a fix yet for the bug that doesnt launch the game when you press ''play'' on the EA launcher? or do i have to pay to be able to play, since it is EA y'know
On my way out of bf5 i played the AT rifles as a joke
''pay 5$ to unlock the launch game feature''
Have you tried clicking?
no íve been pressing my finger on my monitor
Like with the mouse cursor over the play letters
See there's the problem
You gotta move the cursor
@next onyx i finally played a different specialists.. i hate not having falcks self heal
You think im joking
But we had a moron come in here earlier and say there was no way to change keybinds so
Be a literal pain in their ass.
i HAVE to have a spawn beacon, so im trying out recon for once
So i have to assume now people literally cant function
some people are actual npc's . but no im an intellectual who studied IT.
@fiery shoal Also my aim has progressed a lot.
I know what they're on about. It's a glitch where you can't change keybinds.
no, when i press launch it'll give the game launcher pop up of the game starting and then it'll just disappear and simply not start @spiral folio
doesnt look as twitchy as before, did you slow down sens?
I play Irish because I like playing medic but don’t like playing as falck
nice, looks a lot better than before for sure
Its like people come in all
"1 star... this pizza was awful.. bland. Hard as a rock right out of the package"
Update out Tuesday again?
@fiery shoal
They should add a 10mm pistol
Last one I'll share.
There’s even a sniper taking pot shots at you 
.22 longrifle
My ass was being caved in there Marse lol.
They already have 5.7s
I would love a Five seveN
5.7 is literally 0.23" just... better
The p125 is 5.7 but they goofed on mag size
No I mean the pistol five-seven
Yea i think the p125 is as close as youll get
A man can dream
your flicks are good, i always sucked at flicks
@spiral folio yes!
Without china to keep the peace russia goes to war with usa
Usa accuses the nationals Russia of cheating at the olympics
War
@fiery shoal Thanks to you I was given a foundation to work off and through some tweaking that's how I got better.
Russia can't wup the nats of their ass how they gonna mess with the US
Plus bomber getting shelled by stolen tank.
Can play again over the weekend which should be fun. Seems like as it stands that’s the only time where there’s enough time to really play
lol why is crawford's dogshit turret able to survive a direct tank shell and the guy only takes 72 dmg
Battlefield takes place in a fantasy world where russia can arm 30 people at once
Aren't the no pats more round mercenaries that arm themselves?
Yea but russia provides ammo and vehicles i think
Some are probably
everytime i blast a crawford turret user in the face with a HE shell he survives
No pats just dont believe in stpatricks day
I mean Zain has his own launcher thing, boris his turret yada yada
Or furries that hate being touched
Has EA totally shat the bed... I cant even log into the browser page.
i found a new way to play and it is so damn fun
"Alright no-pets... russias moving in we have to defend"
-neon green tiger jumps out of the condor with a LMG-
sundance + the ghostmaker, smoke launcher, and throwing knives is playing as this flying squirrel jihadist assassin
They certainly are under employers too. Zain would be under nordvik and all that.
Oops ping.
That's fair.
So please, ping away

Seriously though I know the dark market has developed some of their gear.n
Or something.
Alright
did i help with the foundation?
Dozers shield being one of them.
What if they do something
Alleft
You did. Nyphon.
I was made more aware of pixel skipping.
And as such been using this set up for a long ass time
i thought thats why you said that, but ive helped a ton of people in this server i dont remember them all
Did that bardoz video help at all
whats your distance to 360?
Where the missiles from the cube map
4.2.
Hit flashpoint
hot damn
wait inches or?
4.2 cm.
My bad.
Zoom.
way aim go brrrrrrrrr
20 here, right in the middle
Oh shit that's right.
Bullet.
New ultrakill update came out.
The new p2 is so fucking brutal.
Pray season 5 adds some sort of artillery
Or add another feature to the wheel thing
Instead of just summon vehicles and rangers
I’ve still not played the previous one 
Although I fully intend to. But it’s for the same reason as last time
It needs that right mentality to be able to take it all in
Yeah that's fair.
I love having a game at the back that allows me to kill shit.
I use it to wake me up as a result.
When r they releasing the jet update
or old content
they just had a feedback thing about it. i wouldnt expect changes for a bit
Flashpoint’s aesthetic is the most battlefield shit ever, they absolutely nailed it
Hardcore
The map plays pretty well I think but it seems a lot of people don’t like it all that much
I like sitting on the hills and killing the snipers as they run up.
Yeah it's very split.
how do you feel about the super hind right now?
The season 5 map has an interesting locale but really I just want a true blue urban map
Shanghai, seine crossing, pearl market/grand bazaar
Something like one of those
Rip
For all the maps that take place in or near cities none of them play like urban maps
I saw someone call hourglass and kaleidoscope desert maps pretending to be urban and it felt on point
Irish’ APS-36 Shootdown Sentinel now intercepts the Ghostmaker R10’s explosive bolt
battlefield 2042 drinking game: take a shot every time dice adds another inconsistency to irish APS
the railgun invalidates all of them lol
i wonder if the railgun is included when they say "Sniper Rifles now have a dispersion penalty while moving"
Hol up, what’s that
read the notes yo
its not in the sniper category
I love the railgun so much but the only scope I have for it is the 3.5 and I use both auto and single
Sniper Rifles now have a dispersion penalty while moving
WHAT DOES IT MEAN
the railgun actually feels like it was designed for the on the fly attachment system
Hopefully it’s not incredibly egregious
yea if you can no longer strafe snipe due to spread 
That would just be infuriating
kinda funny
if they ever add more magnetic weapons I want them to be just as modular
I can’t see them further incentivising the sitting still all game playstyle
like imagine a gauss shotgun that can switch from automatic slugs to charged flechettes
I’m literally always strafing when in snipers
In that triple kill one I shared a while back I would have been dead if I didn’t
a shotgun that tightens spread based on how long you hold the trigger before firing could be really interesting
or a rail musket that 1 taps but has a 10 second long reload
That’s what the ntw was supposed to be
Gauss guns really cant fire multiple projectiles well
Like they cycle between coils to pull the projecile through a tube.
Railguns use conductive rails in contact with the projectile
Excited to start my tier 1 grind on Dozer when the update drops next week. Awesome change! 🥳
I don’t think railguns can fire in fully auto either
Gib gauss cannon whatever that is
if they add more charged weapons the roursch can be pretty easily iterated on while still keeping the same design aesthetics
railgun has full auto, burst and single fire
I think Ian McCollum had a couple gauss cannons to review.
Although a peacekeeper style weapon could be interesting
weak
Do it now
Well like if you bundled up projectiles in a gauss gun they'd be magnetized afterward and stick together
Then I can't tier 1 my guns at the same time breh. I like using his shield but not 24/7 lmao
weak
imagine needing guns
increasing how long you hold the trigger tightens the spread of the gauss shotgun
The other issue would be if you like full-auto'd a coil gun the coils would have to also demagnetize faster
I don't feel anything about them at the moment
They always ignore me
This man @radiant prism over here basically saying to me "Ya'll merely adopted the Dozer Shield .... I WAS BORN IN IT .... MOULDED BY IT"
Fo76 has a gauss shotgun but it uses multiple barrels
Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying
artillery would just be an uncounterable super hind and that thing already farms hard with the 40mm
I've had T1 dozer since well before S1
I am still quite disappointed to not see the M95 from Portal.
Which one is the m95
Dice hates snipers
Well I've had tier 1 sundance since week 4 of the game launching 😏
Artillery would be great
50cal bolt rifle from the 80s
the one thing i need from this game is like 3-4 drones
Back when sundance had EMP nades
having only the ranger is stinky
About as old as the NTW
Using artillery on the wall of enemy's sniping from the sand dune
Would be amazing
Never even touched those emp nades lul
the dog would be cool if he was a resupply point
Wasn't it easier at launch? Idk
Emp rounds for ntw
I think adding in a drone that acts as a mobile health/ammo box would be nice
but automated drones that kill you are a pretty lame addition to battlefield
I’d love that as an option
adding more countermeasures could balance out drones
It was easier to begin with, but by the time I was 400 away from tier 1 they nerfed the scatter so that it had a ridiculous delay and that made the final push absolutely miserable but worth it in the end
Make it a rescue dog :3
The bolt action .50 cal from BC2
like if you emp one it causes a long stun and then you can hack it for your own team
I like when they have to skip real weapons because they wouldnt be faaaair
Ie m107
"I want modern combat.... but none of these modern weapons theyre too strong"
BF4 had the M82 as a pickup. Was pretty sweet.
if i have to waste a slot on EMP nades then it should die instantly
The m109 is the semi auto 25mm payload rifle
they would just balance it in game...
yeah having EMP be an instant kill would probably more balanced and make casper super good
It would make frags useless
generally speaking they try to focus on the main quality of a weapon and then balance it in game
I mean the m107s been around for decades so its not like they never heard of it
If it serves the same purpose with extra bonuses
The real factor is they hate snipers
So a powerful semi auto antimaterial rifle goes against that
they want to deliver something that is both powerful feeling and not completely imbalanced znath
I think it might be
if they were gonna add in semi auto AT they might as well bite the bullet and add in mechs
No wait i think m107 is just a modern m87
the 50 cal doesnt really work in the battlefield gameplay without feeling gimped
as a primary
yea it should be a secondary
M82
Yea cause they hate snipers thats what i said
"they hate snipers" they hate shitty sniping gameplay
Look at the turd of a high cal rifle they gave us
Its literally a like 50year old rifle from south africa
I had an idea that could utilize drones
what if you make a MVM/zombies mode where you had to hold off robots
ntw50 is more than effective enough compared to the dumb AT rifles in bfv
becuase you are a no-pat team that is fighting a corporation
The AT rifles were an attrocity in bf5
not a bad idea i guess
I once got a 400m kill with the panzerbusche on bf5. I was aimed TWO SCOPES up and blindly lobbed the shot
They can go to hell for adding those
What a joke
The actual panzerbusche fires twice the velocity of the mauser
With a tungsten core projectile
yea and that would have been imbalanced horse shit
Still 600m/s slower than the railgun
the railgun doesnt 1 body you
They could bullshit the same stats for the pb
It isnt even
Lol no it cant bipod, charge delay per shot, and for no reason you cant mount a larger scope
If you wanna out snipe a railgun, use the dxr
bipod is useless, you get 20 shots per magazine, and the scope thing is obvious
It's not like i suggested they add a rifle with the tankgewehre ingame power to 2042
Bipod would help with those 500m shots
bro what
idk even
shooting people above 150m is already pushing the limit of usefulness and you're trying to hit people at 500?
I do hit people at 500
please tell me you arent doing this in breakthrough lmao
Do it where i want
acceptable conquest behavior
I like hunting transports
Do you guys think they’d ever change squad size to 5? Based on the recent survey question
I feel like 5 player squad is perfection
yes, dice does what they want when they want. so i can see it happening even though 2042 doesnt need it
Bf4 had 5 player squads though as well
ya and bf1
Id rather be in no squad
So i dont care if some squads are uneven
But i guarantee its to force everyone into a squad
5 is uneven.
4 players for each of the classes with an extra for each class is great. Extra Recon spotter or something
if the squad management update also changed it to 5 man squads, fine
I also feel like we’d forsure need commander back tho
In bf1 and 5 you had issues of squads of 1
5 had 4 mans
And people not squadding up
you still get squads of 1 occasionally in 2042
Going back to hardline it's incredibly weird having 5 people in a squad. It feels too large that way.
So they force you into a squad. I hate it
theres always issues with squads not being full if theres real squad management
because of locking
Not as much as i hate classes. Or weak antimaterial rifles,
. Or strong helicopters.
but we accept it and play
Or throwing knives
"what size should the squads be" is not a question you want to be asking a year into the game's life lmao
8
Would be cool if we can dive too, but no need to take more from cod. Think the armor plates animation is fresh out of cod considering most plate carriers insert plates from the bottom irl
maybe the nerfed squad revive is a lead in step to them changing to 5 man squads
Id play recon again if i could opt out of squads
i wondered why they did that
How was it nerfed
Ohh
forced 25hp revive at about half the speed as defibs
I feel like that could promote using medic classes and applying more thought into gameplay too though
Mother ya fart reporting for d000000tyy.
also true but it makes 5 man squads more tolerable too
the squad revive in bf5 would have been absurd with 5 man squads imo. squad revive needs to be weak for big squads to not be impossible
5 player squads and commander would be perf
Emps, uavs and cruise middles based on team’s captured points is pretty great
Yea i doubt theyll change
Multiples of 4 crams everyone into a squad whether they want it or not
Next season is an unspoken update of 128v128 games
And laser guns
And voip
The game becomes somehow more smooth than ever
Society heals and the world finds peace
Irl 2042 we colonize mars finally
Overlord Musk wins all
Impossible. I have my window open
War broke out after the Elons left and founded new america on mars
Ea utilizes your walls and ceiling to farm Bitcoin lowkey tho
you needa install a mini aircon around your computer

Form space colonies we go from A.D. to the universal century and the space colonies find gundanium alloys
Colony drop levelution
Nah I'm all about that natural air my G 
that's easy. play in the mountains

Good call. Lemme start looking for a house there
Hey battlefield boys, settle a bet will you? The AEK-971 that's being added to AOW as a vault weapon in 4.1.0, is it the BC2 version or the BF3 version?
BC2 version
it's going to be shittier than the 2042 ARs so who cares

I just saw that AEK will be added into AOW.... Alex, whyyyy...
Look again and tell me it's the BC2 version
left: patch notes
right: BC2 AEK from Portal
:))))
:))
If Vault Weapons will be improved to match 2042 Weapons like they said.... Its not good IMO
@dapper river funny if they used the wrong pic. but you probably right
Add a m1911 as it appeared in every battlefield game with that games ttk
Think bf1s 1911 sucked
Cause it was "the starter gun" thus it had to be awful
So chats getting a new design but no all chat yet?
bf1 1911 was insane, what are you smoking?
they're preparing! all chat is complete and it's gonna be legendary once it's added 
Was listening to one of the recent podcast episodes and they said "Very soon"
Why not the AN94 I agree
I'm gonna get banned so hard once all chat gets added lol
it does like 40 dmg with a magazine reload
Can't wait for all chat
I'm gonna be so aggressively kind to the enemies they're gonna hate me in all chat 🦹♂️
Most handguns in BF1 were really good
Yea but for being like the largest caliber handgun of ww1 its pretty weak
I really liked the Repetierpistole
I've noticed in team chat the cursing filter is much weaker than BFV's so I'm hoping we get to properly curse the enemy team without half of it being asterisks
I used the obrez cause StOpPiNg poWeR (which is what irl m1911 fanboys say all the time)
when I go Javelin no one goes SOFLAM, when I go SOFLAM no one goes javelin 
Many players will.... I'll just watch them as they will be Banned
I miss this bad boy.
the peacekeeper was ass if you were actually trying to kill people with it, way too much animation delay
Was it the best? No. Very slow draw. Animations get you killed a lot. But it’s still goated
Sometimes when something is cool, I prefer it to whatever is the best.
I looked at the peacemaker unlock guide
[Nopedontthinkiwill.gif]
Like
Keep using obrez
Go through hell for something basically weaker
you were looking at the BFEE spoonfeed guide and still didn't have the patience?
things like "poop" and "ass" are still censored so I dunno how much weaker this game's filter is compared to BFV lol
Oddly enough ass isn't censored
props to the 5heads in the chat who say "lol just disable it"
You can say fuck in some instances
I did all the eggs like the day after they were found out like a nincompoop
Is it? I dunno, it's not like you can self-test the filters due to chat messages appearing unfiltered on the sender's side.
Yea not worth it when i was already using the obrez since it existed
Im damn good with the obrez
Obrez was never my jazz cause I cannot aim
My favorite game to play is 5 shots on a fighter plane
Cause I'd run out of ammo with the rifle and just potshot planes til i found an ammo box
Tbf the peacekeeper requires some good aim too since it has 6 shots and an infinitely long reload. But it twirly and kewl
Obrez had drop too at range
Was meant to be relied as a close range last resort.
No point in using it at range though. It only OHK at point blank right? Unless you headshot
the Peacekeeper can oneshot to the head
Weak
Can’t every revolver in the game tho
No.
In bf1 no.
The obrez was 1 shot kills at like 10m
But like if i shot my last rifle shot and enemys at half
-obrez-
Same way i used the rex im play4free really. It was way better than the vault rex
bf1 revolvers go hard
i had a soft spot for the nagant revolver even though it was thoroughly meh
Hey is there another way to unlock the bsv-m
Cause I can’t get the over 100 meter kills I’ve been playing for over 80 hours now
Like a bundle or something
if you mean the challenge isn't tracking, that's a known bug that can usually be fixed by restarting the game
No it’s not that it’s just in bad at the game and can’t see further away than 100 meters
Even in coop I can’t get more than 100 meter like
i don't know what to tell you then, the bots are bots and Q spotting shows you what range they're at
Right click
just stand really far away and snipe some bots
Yea like if target acquisition needs work thats what easy bots are for
play on hourglass. should be able to find a bunch of bots 100m+ away
Once you can make center mass hits easy enough aim up a bit and go for head shots
Bots are nice practice
Some people shit on it but it works
And practice live battle scenarios like behind cover pop up and take a shot
Differennt distances and elevations
Because drop changes over high andlow angles
"Specialist Mastery Progression Alterations" what does that mean
bloody hell, when they adding the spas-12 to aow, man :<
it will change the way progression mastery happens for specialists
Players in enemy team: doom slayers
players in my team: https://twitter.com/Ryouta201113/status/1638971904303443968

generally it got a lot easier to do tier 1 progression, if you care about that sort of thing
I was doing great with planes until a few days ago
Now the f35 ALWAYS out turns my su57
Massively
Not even close to competing
I'll make it like 90-100° through a turn and the f35 is already 360 and on me again
Before, it was the other way around. And everywhere I look up plane stuff they all agree the su57 far out turns the f35 but that's not the case when I'm flying. My plane sens is set to max as well
sadly they didn't do anything to Boris
@arctic grove yes
turn rates should be pretty close now unless they accidentally broke it somehow
jets are a complete waste of time in this game either way
Do I need to be using a controller
You can turn within the map confines, stay on target easier, dodge fire better
Most op aircraft id say is the bf5 fighter
maybe? couldn't tell you since most of the bf4 jet players gave up immediately
flying in bfv felt so much fun
Older bf games also had AA stationary guns
2042 had lis and the AA "flare user upper" rocket
they were annoying when being ai controlled (bf4)
but bf3 had them being manned
Thr bf5 plane could outrange the stationaries which is why the bf5 fighter takes the cake for most op
And no guided AA so
Once they nerfed the flieger it took typically 3 solid shots of it to down.
Each player could carry 2 i think?
At most you could reload 2 at least before it flew away to repair. So usually it be like "ITS AT 10% HP SHOOOOOT IIIIIIIIIIIT"
You
" " could " "
Kill it with 2 launches. If it was going like 10mph exactly at you and for some reason not firing. You reload and shove the next volley exactly up its hinder.
(Wont happen)
Then once the pilot catches wise to where you're near it can like strafe the general area and kill 10 of ya
Kinda shit that there isn't a hind nerf in next week's patch
Try calling the hind a sniper
Honest to god just remove repairing from inside of transports entirely
-shrug-
there's nothing they can do that would make a difference short of removing the main gunner seat
Or nerf its max hp
All three
nerfing hp or handling doesn't stop it from farming in any way
Like damage the engine. Hind loses half its speed
the explosion spam shouldnt exist from a transport heli
Nerfing its agility would let people hit it more
what if you could disable the tail rotor and it goes into an unrecoverable spin until repaired? 
if they want to make it fit the purpose they have to fuck off with the cannon seat and turn it into one of those spotter seats
Anyone else have their battlepass glitch and say you aren't Premium anymore?
I think they should also limit how far on BT transports can go behind enemy lines
restart the game
bypassing the enemy front lines is why 2042 breakthrough is such a wack experience
it's far too easy to do that
Yea like "lets fly deeper into enemy territory to avoid anti air"
i have never seen a wildcat shoot at aircraft, people pull it to kill vehicles for some reason
Like if you go SO FAR behind the enemy UNCAP they cant even go after you. Random missiles should spawn in and lock you
Like the big boy ones too
SAMs and AI AA in the uncap lel pls
if base AA was mannable, people would use that to shoot at ground vehicles too
Yea like hide behind the buildings in kaleidoscope.
Missle as long as a car shoops you into 3000 pieces
AI controlled gau8 turrets
"Return to allied territory before the enemy AA locks onto you"
"Enemy AA?"
[BrrRrrrRRrRrrrRRRRT]

Anyone else getting a "DirectX error" when trying to play?
What
If there is a wildcat then my jet is destroyed in 3 seconds no matter where I am
Only time i ever jump in one is if aircraft are being annoying and then i go solely after them
Respect an enemy team air assaulting effectively but y’all gotta get put down 
I mean the Wildcat let's you equip 57mm antiarmor rounds and AGM missiles, so unfortunately it's not strictly AA
Its best use on defense is AA
If you try to make it into a tank, youre gonna get tanked
Pretty much every jet death I have is wildcat...unless it the enemy jet somehow turning 3 times faster than me
Yea and unless you're a crazy lucky or good shot the big wildcat gun wont really help
Not with the obscene durability the hind has
Like a real 57mm hit will be the end of a chopper
In bf2042 its like
"Uh oh time to leave in another minute"
-wipes 57mm mark off the windshield-
reducing the hp isn't going to affect the top tier hind farmers
you have to delete the gun seat
it's not optional
It would if I'm around
Maybe thats just me but I'm pretty aggressive when it comes to eating a hind
They'd be afraid to enter combat with like 40% less hp
Make the pilot hitbox a little bigger too :v
And gunner
Also make the pod gunners killable by shots going through the hull
And make each gun breakable
And make the tail rotor breakable :U
is everyone hacking now, because....
lmao. yes, by guys using the M44 & going 46-3 in TDM

Tdm still exists thats weird
“Fixed an issue that would sometimes result in sliding to gain unintended acceleration”
I wonder what they mean with this because… I go zooming when I slide jump down a hill… 
@spiral folio Team Deathmatch is a classic. How could you get rid of TDM?
Its old therefor its good
All old things are good
I got my fill of TDM like 20 years ago
I never liked TDM in Battlefield
Super underwhelming when BF is based on big ass explosions and craziness
That’s CoDs domain
Yea the neat thing about battlefield was like big epic battles with objectives
tdm is the easiest thing in the world to slap together, and therefore should always be included
its not like they made custom layouts
they just pick a big square
@arctic grove ya I will say it's not the best mode for Battlefield 2042.
I feel so cool when I mckay grapple onto the top of something and slide across it though
The one thing i hated about cod2 was never holding ground and holding off an offense. Tdm was always like... two teams flanking each other in a circle
Same
And true about tdm being easy, I don’t mind it and it should def stay, I just personally don’t play it
A lot of maps on cod2 custom servers were literally donuts
And if they were open it was always losingnone direction and pushing the other
Some were linear enough to avoid it
Those were good
Oh boy here it comes
I agree, but in today's gaming communities inclusivity will always be important. BF can/will continue it's focus on the massive scaled battles but it's cool to have this wrinkle thrown in there.
bf has always had smaller scale modes too
variety is good
I mean its like... allowing seats to lean all the way back in a ford fiesta
bf shines in smaller modes, bf1 frontlines was the greatest thing to happen to that game
It can do it but...
Agreed
the playercount meme needs to end
they can't be trusted to tighten game balance up around 64-128 people
To clarify, I mean it’s underwhelming for me imo but that’s it
64 is the correct number to focus on, 32 is great and i enjoy it, but 64 is where the franchise succeeds
64 needs to stay around for a while for balance and performance purposes
the current best "battlefield" experience in 2042 is Spearhead breakthrough
Tbh I don’t think it’s possible to keep vehicles in a good spot when there’s 64 enemies so it gets really complicated
Like stupid bots and you just go to town on em
Vehicles ironicially become more powerful because shit like APS isnt balanced
128 leads to extreme chaos or extreme emptiness
no matter the map's design
no in between
128 is overwhelming zerging, which is such an obvious problem
Yea because there was auch a hyper abundance of players. People just set up asstons of aps pods
You couldnt gwt a rocket to a tank to save your life. Literally
Inb4 "just shoot out the aps"
Like through the rock... all 4 of em
It seems to me that at least part of the problem with dice only putting out one map a season is that 128 players forces them to make these absolutely fucking enormous maps
the maps would be fine if they were just huge, the problem is they're huge and empty
Yea theyd have to widen maps for 128 again to absorb the number
those cuts in the mountain on exposure are no man's lands
and so is most of the plateau too
https://youtu.be/0WRLN0DDvLg dice pls rework
The Battlefield franchise has been going strong for 20 years. It's brought us some of the most iconic maps in FPS Gaming history https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VAexT3dyMk... but also some of the worst.
00:00 - Battlefield has some iconic... and not so great maps
00:54 - Hourglass
01:52 - Fjell 642
03:03 - Prise de Tahure
04:43 - Lancang Dam
...
Otherwise theres another APS for every 2 square feet
If 64 players means we get more maps, more often, with better quality gameplay, I would gladly take 64 players forever over 128
64 just tends to flow better too it feels like
Vaux agonne
it absolutely does
128 is a shitshow, the only people who like it just dont care about any details at all
Armor protection benefits will now only apply to the torso area of your character, and no longer provide protection for the entire character. <- FUCK YEAH!
took them long enough
I hated the bridge map on bf5 cause on defense. People would build EVERY SANDBAG WALL even the one INTENDED for the enemy to keep the defenders out
So theyd barricade themselves out of their own freakin flag
Itd be like digging trenches toward your flag to protect the enemy
the fucking fortification bots that would build the tank traps that blocked their own tanks
I honestly like hourglass lol
Yea
holy fuck bfv players were stupid
Especially on 64 breakthrough
i saw people do that almost every game
And people wonnder why 2042 nixed building
A1-A2 is a bloodbath
Yep
Hourglass 64p bt makes me want to throw myself into the sun
Fuckin condors that just hover over A2
Id blow up barricades all the time because they protected the enemy
Idk i just always have fun on hourglass
The one map i groan when i get is discarded
i need to start playing these maps like the rat dice wants me to be
such a shame they’ve added BF3 weapons into battlefield 2042 but not the maps
sit with an NTW on a building in hourglass
discarded is also my least enjoyed @ruby saffron
They might add more portal maps in year 2
NTW on a building? Good luck sniping with that velocity
Hopefully they’ll
The fact they are adding more vault weapons is a good sign
I prefer they called battlefield 2042 to just “ battlefield “ instead
he called the MTAR pointless ;-;
Mixed
maybe one day they'll tweak them and they wont be but.. they suck
To me it says they are working on more legacy content if they are adding more obscure old weapons from the older games
i love a good mtar. 2042's isnt
no all chat yet?
Next few updates apparently
bah...
Wait what
pray its in 4.2
Also got asked about if i want to see cross era attachments become a thing in my player survey
i need to taste the saltyness from enemy team
Lemme put them portal attachments on my 2042 guns 
all chat is gonna be so spicy

You will now be able to barge through doors whilst sliding <- lol
2042 doesnt have the worst map in the franchise at least
Please let me use the kobra on the ak24
I give that honor to the map that still gives me ptsd, fucking scrapmetal
i want all chat more than a new map
that shit annoyed me a lot
i did it all the time in bfv
that's an okay change.
Scrapmetal was unholy, demonic, evil, twisted, disgusting. Horrifying map
2042 making you stuck is not good flow
However have the worst launch so far
I actually had more issues with 4 than i did 2042, but i saw some absurd bugs my friends had
All of the Close Quarters DLC maps were based actually.
I feel like that’s debatable
bf4 was more technically fucked
The best infantry maps DICE ever made for Battlefield. And then they never made maps like those again.
I can’t speak for myself and my own personal experiences but apparently BF4s netcode and stability was utter shit
Bf4’s launch was horrendous
2042's was an unfinished game with wildly bad ideas
you could play the alpha
but was it fun
wait.. why they changed the masteries for several specialists but not for Boris?!?!
Looking for a squad
