battlefield-2042

[spiral folio]

In the crazy zany upside down world of battlefield its a fair fight

[arctic grove]

What about Germany

[ebon pilot]

collapsed

[arctic grove]

India?

[ebon pilot]

same

[arctic grove]

Canada

[spiral folio]

Germany is helping neighboring nations become more secure within the EU by force if necessary

Canada is not a world power

[arctic grove]

Damn

When are we getting something like the f-22 tho

[ebon pilot]

the US is probably supporting them though because of Black Ridge

[spiral folio]

They're not even an artic power

[arctic grove]

Battlefield

[spiral folio]

Exposure takes place in canada

[lament plank]

Can someone answer me something? I saw in the patch notes Lis mastery is changing. So now it’s based on people killed in the vehicle by your rocket? Am I reading that right? Currently on a shit wifi connection so can’t really look on forums. Anyone?

[spiral folio]

With US troops defending some spooky secret lab

I cant wait to still not display my lis mastery level

[ebon pilot]

yes

Updated Lis' Mastery requirement from 10 Vehicles Destroyed with the G-84 TGM to 10 Kills when destroying Vehicles with the G-84 TGM

[lament plank]

Yes so I assume after the first 10 it’s still kills? Is it retroactive? Like is my mastery going to be reset???

[spiral folio]

It wont be retroactive

How would they be able to track that

[glacial quarry]

Fixed an issue that would sometimes result in sliding to gain unintended acceleration

oh no

please dont fix my movement exploits

please

[spiral folio]

-rapid tap C-
Warp drive sound

[ebon pilot]

you'll keep your mastery level, but it will just start counting kills instead of destroys

[lament plank]

Well I mean more is it gonna wipe out my current mastery and make me do it again. I agree it’d be hard to track how many kills with it, even though every other weapon has kill tracking

[spiral folio]

Kill count wont even reaaally change much. Assists would

[lament plank]

I’m about to hit T2 as her so it’d be a pain to re do all that

I wish assists counted :/

[glacial quarry]

cant believe they buffed irish aps

[spiral folio]

Lol...

Worlds going to hell

[glacial quarry]

and no airburst nerf

how are they this clueless

i dont get it

[spiral folio]

Maybe its like with lis

They massively buff her
Then nerf her worse than before

[ebon pilot]

they already nerfed Irish APS this season, and this "buff" doesn't really do much

[glacial quarry]

im triggered

they fixed my slide cancel movement exploit

[lament plank]

The rocket damage still needs a buff. Boris with a javelin can solo a (bad player) vehicle. But Lis still barely dents anything

[glacial quarry]

i was nuking corners with it lol

[arctic grove]

Is the lore behind other countries not being able to fight or even be in the game the inconsistency of dice rn

[lament plank]

Oh you wanted thought put into this game??? Lol

[ebon pilot]

the lore is everyone fucking died

[spiral folio]

Russia is the easy boogeyman

You cant have china because china bans all games with china as an enemy

Korea would be stupid

So who's left

Europe?

[arctic grove]

Yes it would satisfy the emptiness in me

[glacial quarry]

the lore is the devs dont have the budget to make lore so they come up with some shitty lore to excuse for it

[jovial widget]

Iraq

[glacial quarry]

all the budget went to advertising

[spiral folio]

They wanted an enemy that could be same-peer

[ebon pilot]

or at least looked that way at the time

[spiral folio]

So russias all that is left

[arctic grove]

Are all the battlefields lore connected or

[spiral folio]

Might as well be

[arctic grove]

Damn

[spiral folio]

Cause nothing aaactually matters

[arctic grove]

I hope that spooky scientist guy makes a Time Machine and prevents the events of bf2042 from happening

Then we get battlefield 6

[spiral folio]

If a raid on a US weapons research base happened in canada b21s would be over that site in like barely an hour

[magic bloom]

So how do you all feel that Hannah was the right choice in BF4

[spiral folio]

You have to suspend a LOT of disbelief on some maps especially that one

[magic bloom]

I feel like half the military would be there before the day was done

[spiral folio]

Like a Russian convoy of helicopters penetrates past the pacific fleet, alaska, washington afb etc. Attacks a US base in the mountains for weapons data

If the US lost contact with a weapons research facility, F22s would be there in minutes

[arctic grove]

But they don’t exist in bc 2042

[spiral folio]

If the facility was lost/compromised. Bunker busters

They exist just not playable

[arctic grove]

Smh

Imagine if the devs put some thought into the game

Maybe some care and love too

[magic bloom]

That’s if they even got past Alaska before they shot them down

[spiral folio]

They already had to nerf the f35 a ton to fit it jnto the game

[arctic grove]

And give all the people who played it during launch life time infinite bfc

[spiral folio]

Id assume they inserted through the west coast of canada depending how far north the map is

And then like retrieve the data that somehow survives the massive firefight in the server room and take it to a giant carrier-submarine

[glacial quarry]

Most unrealistic thing is russia invading the nordics

[spiral folio]

Or i guess only the data has to make it back. So they drop the data packs to a sub thst runs like mad

[woven acorn]

i wonder if we'll ever get a city dense map like the bf3 and bf4 days

[glacial quarry]

no

you wont

[woven acorn]

rip

[arctic grove]

Never again

[woven acorn]

why not

[arctic grove]

Idk what dice was smoking back then

[spiral folio]

Have a map where russia lands in the US and like every house shoots at you constantly

[glacial quarry]

look at kaleidoscope all those buildings not one you can enter except the first and top floor

[arctic grove]

But they need to start smoking it again

[woven acorn]

honestly though, that mission in cod mw2 (original) where you're going through the streets of america as the russians or chinese invade is kinda cool

[spiral folio]

"Alright nopats we're landing just outside houston. You'll be taking a lot of fire from the civilian population good luck"

[eager ice]

beautiful, but none can be automatic

[spiral folio]

None yessss

[glacial quarry]

not if the liberals take over america and ban guns

[spiral folio]

Cause they all were lost in boating accidents

[eager ice]

no just the fact were not allowed for some reason

[spiral folio]

Yea thats the reason

Lets go with that because nobody hides anything

And also laws always work as intended

[eager ice]

well yeah obv if u ban guns criminals wont use then bcuz its against the law🤷‍♂️

[glacial quarry]

ya but then most people wont have guns

[spiral folio]

Make illegal things illegaler

[glacial quarry]

when russia invades

[eager ice]

that was the joke

[spiral folio]

Yea land in NYC. The gangs alone will hold em off

LA forget it

[eager ice]

chicago,detroit too

[spiral folio]

When the cartels and gangs there find out what russian arms sell for

Land anywhere in the midwest well... its just good clean fun. All enemies foreign and domestic

[mental delta]

Map in Mexico would be cool so

[glacial quarry]

LA they will probably just land in a forest fire at that point

[eager ice]

true

[glacial quarry]

since its gonna be a lot hotter globally

[mental delta]

A lot of altitude but a lot of urban areas as well

[eager ice]

would we add cartel ai that attack both sides?

[glacial quarry]

yes

the cartel AI will be more well armed than you for realism

[spiral folio]

Hotter doesnt mean drier

[eager ice]

perfect, take my money

[spiral folio]

Like some areas could become rainforests if wind streams change

[glacial quarry]

Florida map for carrier assault only

cos it will just be ocean

[woven acorn]

so many possibilities for maps

[spiral folio]

The loading screen map shows the everglades flooded but it always has been a swamp

[eager ice]

wait isnt california detatched by now in the game?

[mental delta]

You're reading my mind, I was totally thinking about neutral AI when the other guy was talking about map in Houston

[spiral folio]

Nah itll take centuries for plate tectonics to move CA

[eager ice]

damnit

[eager ice]

nuetral crocodiles that attack both sides?

[next onyx]

We had a map in hardline between the u.s and Mexican border.

[glacial quarry]

california will likely be in flames before then

[mental delta]

Which map ?

[next onyx]

Apparently flash Point was originally in cali

[spiral folio]

Manatees become humanatees

[eager ice]

its gonna be a crisp then cool off in the ocean😭

[next onyx]

I dunno the name. Look it on the battlefield wiki.

[woven acorn]

was hardline any good? never got to play it

[next onyx]

Yeah it was.

[glacial quarry]

it was unique

but died quickly

[grand barn]

Can’t make everyone happy 🙂
I apologize for being realistic and having standards!

[mental delta]

A map in UK could be good too, urban areas with underground metro stations could make good playable areas

[glacial quarry]

lul

you’re one of the few content creators that actually speak hard facts

[mental delta]

We already got DannyOnPC and now that's you

[eager ice]

i dont wanna get stabbed constantly u?

[glacial quarry]

london underground map should have neutral people that try to stab both sides

[spiral folio]

I thought a good map would be a partially flooded city sinking into the sea

[eager ice]

should always be suprise attacks too

[mental delta]

I guess it's part of the immersion if some fuckers come out from random buildings and rush you with knives

[spiral folio]

And have like a hidden lab using the abandoned city as a cover

[eager ice]

lol

[eager ice]

id run out of bullets lmao

[mental delta]

Totally, a flooded underground you can immerse under water by destroying some walls or shit could be amazing

[woven acorn]

that would be great, revive the metro map theme

[mental delta]

Too many coke sellers with machetes to handle ?

[eager ice]

oooh yeah and close off certain areas from a control room to drown enemies👏

[woven acorn]

like bf4

[glacial quarry]

they should add wildlife to bf

[grand barn]

My points really aren’t that crazy lol, people just dont like how I say them cause a lot of people cant take a joke or some sarcasm

[glacial quarry]

then again by 2042 probably most of them are extinct

[woven acorn]

watch a deer get c5 instantly

[eager ice]

i can breathe the warcrimes

[glacial quarry]

i wanted to see moose and grizzlies attack you on exposure

[mental delta]

Yeah, they could try to create a partially flooded Metro map

[spiral folio]

Wildlife tend to F off when gunfire happens

Except apparently seagulls

[eager ice]

the moose have same health as tanks too

[spiral folio]

Which just cant get enough of it according to battlefield

[eager ice]

mine?

[mental delta]

It's ok as long as you don't insult your community, I got in some argument with Mister Danny about that, I think I'm blacklisted now

[spiral folio]

At least trashbags have also taken the place of birds

[glacial quarry]

if you drive into a moose on a tank your tank should get destroyed

very realistic

[eager ice]

yes

or immobalize you

[naive quiver]

This map coming back soon dice pls

[glacial quarry]

so when is all chat coming

i need my salt

[spiral folio]

Blue-red contrast

[woven acorn]

we can only wish

[eager ice]

[spiral folio]

Underground maps are dumb

[eager ice]

:0

[glacial quarry]

about time we get an all infantry map

[mental delta]

Maybe in BF6, because a lot of people are asking for it

[spiral folio]

"cuz its a frigin basement"

[glacial quarry]

isnt this BF6

[eager ice]

me driving a tank in there

[glacial quarry]

and sorry but the BF franchise is dead

sure as fuck aint preordering the next one

[woven acorn]

sometimes i wish i hadn't turned off nvidia capture settings. Just had an epic moment where i ducked next to a rock whilst an enemy tank ramped over it and then a jet came so close to the ground everyone went prone and the grass shook

[naive quiver]

There no BF6 only BF2043

[glacial quarry]

if there even is going to be one

[spiral folio]

Yea you mean BF2046

[eager ice]

id kms

[spiral folio]

The expansion to 2042

[eager ice]

2043*

[woven acorn]

surely their next logical step is to remake 2142

[glacial quarry]

no

[eager ice]

?

[spiral folio]

Nah they roll 2042 and bf6 together

[glacial quarry]

fuck off with the overly futuristic shit

no one likes it

[mental delta]

They also talked about map preferences and asked if us as players were preferring getting a small amount of maps but with more diverse landscapes, or a bigger amount of maps but with less diverse landscapes like 2 or 3 for the entire set of maps in the game, interesting question if you ask me, I prefer the second option tbh

[spiral folio]

So bf2046

[mental delta]

I ain't buying it

[glacial quarry]

do a gulf war era one or something

1990s

[spiral folio]

2062

Power armor for operation anchorage

[jovial widget]

they should remake BF Vietnam

[glacial quarry]

anything more than 40 years into the future is definitely going to be cringe

[eager ice]

napolianic battlefield when?

[glacial quarry]

good luck balancing that

civil war maybe still possible

[eager ice]

line battles gon be sick

[glacial quarry]

like what

if u make musket one shot its gonna be op

but if its 2 shot its useless

how to balance

[eager ice]

1.5 shot then

[spiral folio]

You dont play as 1 soldier you play as platoons

[sharp marten]

We man did I miss Enders

[eager ice]

YES

also

[glacial quarry]

civil war will be interesting

[eager ice]

commander where?

[spiral folio]

There's also already napoleonic war games

Where you play as platoons

[eager ice]

dm me them pls

[glacial quarry]

repeaters, revolvers and single shot rifles wont be hard to balance

[sharp marten]

Is civilization’s a good game?

[ebon pilot]

I think the best approach the current approach of one map per season, but with multiple variations. So for example something like Spearhead with the current layout A, but a secondary layout B with another building and everything essentially reorganized.

[spiral folio]

I dont know the names i just saw them on a streamer page once

[eager ice]

cqc napolionic combat in battefield would be fun asf

[spiral folio]

Would it

[eager ice]

yes

[spiral folio]

Just play skyrim and pretend your gun isnt loaded

[mental delta]

I understand but not for me, I prefer the previous style where we had multiple maps with only a restricted amount of landscapes, it also participated to give an unique atmosphere to each game because all game had his own tone and set of landscapes

[eager ice]

💀

[cyan trout]

Once I start I can't put it down. Worst game I have ever played

[glacial quarry]

civil war will be fun

[spiral folio]

Napoleonic era hand to hand is a lot of using your rifle as a spear or club

[glacial quarry]

balloons, cannons, cavalry, sword and bayonet fighting cqc, repeaters revolvers and single shot rifles

so much variety

it can def be balanced

[spiral folio]

You wouldnt see repeaters very commonly til pretty late

[jovial widget]

we should have the ability to throw our gun at someone once we run out of ammo

[glacial quarry]

to fine tune balance they can add organ damage so single shot rifles can be balanced by one shot to neck head heart or lungs and 2 otherwise

[spiral folio]

Like even pinfire

[sharp marten]

Fair enough

[cyan trout]

Check the Steam reviews for civ6. Pretty accurate

[spiral folio]

Yea napoleon is like 1803
Pinfire cartridges are 1820

[glacial quarry]

thats y i thinj civil war is better

easier to balance a single shot rifle than a musket that takes 10s to reload

they also had 6 shooter revolvers at that point that take super long to reload

repeater rifles

those could be 2 shot

would need organ dmg imo otherwise single shot rifle would be either too weak or too strong

[spiral folio]

The civil war was where repeater arms kind of came to real use

There were some european wars with pinfire arms i think but not repeaters

[woven acorn]

theres a game on pc called holdfast: nations at war and its the napoleon war era i think? rifles and cavalry anyway

its very funny, it has proximity voice chat and all chat for text

with over 100 players too i think

so it can be done and it works... looking at you dice

[spiral folio]

Yea but war games in the 18th 19th century dont appeal well

[cosmic sequoia]

Yeah

No cool tanks

[woven acorn]

interesting that the suppressers in bf2042 dont seem to sound different when you swap between them. should they? did other bfs sound different from suppresser to suppresser

[cosmic sequoia]

Only trench foot

[spiral folio]

Even to get ww1 to appeal to people they had to basically modernize it

So ite ww1 colored but any idiot can have a super rare machinegun

[cosmic sequoia]

Yeah I don’t think going back in time for the 100th time is the move

We need a good modern battlefield

Basically battlefield 5, but early 2000s era

[spiral folio]

Theres more mgs and smgs in one match of bf1 than probably the entire war

[woven acorn]

I think you could make it appealing if you really drove home the gritty feel of the game, lots of people complaining 2042 isnt gritty enough

[cosmic sequoia]

It isn’t

[idle lion]

Nah 2022 era is better

[spiral folio]

I kinda bet they spam off another era of modern games.

Which I'll again skip

[cosmic sequoia]

It’s like ww3 and the earth is in disaster

But we have maps like kaleidoscope

And every map has shipping containers

[idle lion]

Tbf certain count survived

Countries*

So its not like every country is a disaster

[cosmic sequoia]

Sure

[woven acorn]

arent the fans sick of modern settings? cod already rinsed the formula dry last generation. i dont know why bf is having a crack at it now

[cosmic sequoia]

But if most of the world is fucked up, shouldn’t that be reflected in the maps?

[ebon pilot]

that's 2 decades ago

[cosmic sequoia]

Cod fucking sucks

[ebon pilot]

you're old

[cosmic sequoia]

Umm

Ok

[ebon pilot]

[cosmic sequoia]

Lmaooo

[idle lion]

Well the maps that take place in failed states are fucked up. However in military sites and non broken states it makes sense to have a well looking map

[ebon pilot]

hourglass is literally covered almost completely in sand

[placid echo]

fucking finally

[next onyx]

Ayo nice.

[ebon pilot]

i'm wanting this skin so badd

i'm at lvl 71

[jovial widget]

that is nice looking

[white geyser]

Is that the RM68 you unlocked? at least you finally to get use of that rifle

[placid echo]

i also don't know if I wanna wear the t1 skin on it or this one

Shadow the Hedgehog type beat

[low timber]

I still need 95 points for the Legendary green and black RM68 skin.

[placid echo]

r/hedidthemaths

[low timber]

Tomorrow are new weeklies so 40 after all of them.

[next onyx]

Cause the hitreg should be good tomorrow I'll easily hit 96.

[low timber]

You know the future?

[spiral folio]

I hate red and black being like the end all paintjob

[low timber]

I hate that there are no rewards for reaching T4 (outside of specialists), T3 or T2.

And the T5 skin is atrocious.

[spiral folio]

If there was suddenly a good sniper rifle i could unlock from tier masteries I'd start caring

[next onyx]

Eh the snipers aren't necessarily bad.

[spiral folio]

Well i mean like my fantasy of a well represented large caliber rifle

[eager spire]

to be honest i feel like people are complaining that 2042 isn't a good game and that's a more important thing than it being gritty.

[spiral folio]

Or a laser

[eager spire]

fuck discord didn't scroll down.

[next onyx]

I'm not one for snipers/ precise weaponry.

But so be it.

[eager spire]

I feel like sniping as a tactic is a fairly worthless addition to most multiplayer shooters.

[spiral folio]

Id like to see a sniper laser or a bazooka replacement laser.. or both

[next onyx]

There's a definite niche for it.

[eager spire]

Like it doesn't really add anything other than a lot of complexity for no reward unless you spend a lot of time doing it and get an ego.

[spiral folio]

But then i couldnt use both with lis

[eager spire]

There is a niche for it in actual warfare but in games i don't think that niche really exists in a multiplayer setting with revives and respawns.

[next onyx]

Aim for head and have rifle good for range. That's really it.

[placid echo]

I just enjoy how the sniping feels :v

[next onyx]

I'm almost done.

When rush xl pops up again I'll finish off the gol.

[magic bloom]

I think it depends on the game, games like tarkov or other games with limited/no respawns makes sense for sniper overwatch

[next onyx]

And maybe the m44.

[magic bloom]

I wanna do the m44 but I don’t think I can do it

[eager spire]

Yeah, but in most shooters, it adds nothing other than "oneshot out to any range"

[placid echo]

Oh yeah, I looked through clips. I took someone's tags while riding up an elevator :p

[turbid geode]

had a breakthrough match where none of the medic's rez'd anyone, 10/10

[eager spire]

which is largely obnoxious to play against

[woven acorn]

mackay would be so much better in a city map

[next onyx]

Aim for head and reward the player.

[magic bloom]

Sniping in this game also doesn’t work cause the one guy with a ghillie suit wears a bright ass light on his vest

[spiral folio]

So keep your body hidden

[robust vapor]

Melee is so fun

:X

stabby stab

[turbid geode]

the BSV-M is such a pain to get

[eager spire]

is it really that rewarding, though? Like, the person you shot in the head can either get revived, or will respawn anyway.

[arctic grove]

But helmet

[spiral folio]

Friendly indicators DO exist irl also.

[ebon pilot]

why doesn't this apply to every other gun in the game though?

[spiral folio]

Theres a little IR patch on uniforms you can uncover that an IR sensor will detect and mark friendly

[magic bloom]

I haven’t slept in about 17 hours so far

So my English is gonna suck

[next onyx]

Same logic with everything else.

[eager spire]

Consider the amount of effort you have to put in to headshot someone with a sniper rifle in this game, like out to any distance.

[woven acorn]

yeah I hate that aspect. BF5 did it well, I mean there isnt even a zoning function on the rifles to help land your shots...

[next onyx]

Shoot guy, they respawn, kill them again.

[ebon pilot]

not a ton?

[eager spire]

i said a sniper rifle, not the railgun, Pizza.

[magic bloom]

If you get a headshot kill they shouldn’t be able to be revived

[ebon pilot]

i know, i'm not talking about the railgun

[eager spire]

i suggested that but people told me that was a bad idea and that that would be abused

[woven acorn]

christ why has it defaulted to super reactions

[eager spire]

I find that it takes more effort to land headshots at distance than any other type of gun in the game.

[placid echo]

Here's me taking someone's tags while riding up an elevator :v
https://streamable.com/8h72fd

[wind flint]

I find sniping to be easy and fun

It’s difficult to lead your shots when the enemy move laterally

[spiral folio]

2042s ballistics are at least realistic. Damage eh but the bullet travel

No wind effects

[turbid geode]

BSV-M unlock challenge sucks

[ebon pilot]

I play aggressive sniper so I don't actually find myself shooting at targets on the opposite side of the map.

[spiral folio]

They "balance" the thermals with the blur

I let my bullets be aggressive

Theyre quicker than me

[ebon pilot]

should've unlocked during season 1

[magic bloom]

I always wondered if the thermals on snipers were good

[turbid geode]

it hurts trying to get marksmen rifle kills from 100m or more

[spiral folio]

I use the 4x for most sniping or the 6x to find targets and gadgets

[next onyx]

Yeah the thermals aren't good.

In my experience.

Ok the 6x is whatever over a regular 6x.

[spiral folio]

The 6x thermal is pretty blurry you have to kinda center-mass the shot

[next onyx]

I only use the regular because it allows me to see the environment around a person so I don't mess up much shot.

[spiral folio]

Old BF games used compressed distance and exaggerated drop

[next onyx]

The thermals I haven't found to be super blurry infact they're pretty usable.

I only used a 6x thermal on the ntw because I couldn't be fucked.

[placid echo]

I just wish this game had the headshot counting from BFV :v

[spiral folio]

The edge blur is worse for distant targets

[wind flint]

Whatever the first sniper whatever it’s called

[eager spire]

eh, i guess i didn't really bother with sniping in this game, so maybe it is easier. Only really played with AR's in the 4 hours i put in this game.

[spiral folio]

You also cant see a tracer hit with the rail

So if you miss you just guess

[next onyx]

You need to turn your brain off.

Really that's it.

Stop over thinking shots and hit it.

[magic bloom]

Don’t think just shoot

[placid echo]

RM68 skin looks good with this outfit :v

Also yeah I find my sniper shots get better when brain just turn off

[wind flint]

Is this earn able via challenges or behind a paywall

[naive quiver]

I feels like having a razer mask on his face

https://tenor.com/view/gaming-gamers-gamer-covid-mask-gif-24921897

[wind flint]

Battle pass?

[placid echo]

RM68 skin was through Battle-Pass, Lis's outfit is from two different store bundles

[turbid geode]

new paik mask?

[wind flint]

👌

[placid echo]

This is Lis :v

[naive quiver]

Razer mask light up your handsome face with rgb

[turbid geode]

ever have your shotgun take away half of the enemy hp but the 2nd shot leaves them on 1 hp?

[placid echo]

yeah

[naive quiver]

Same meaning yeah

[placid echo]

Shotgun is hit or miss, but when it hits, it hits

Bully robots

[torpid wadi]

Mmm can’t wait to unlock the rpk

[arctic grove]

Why do campers always have 0 awareness

[placid echo]

Oh yeah I forgot about the RPK, ironically I just used it in a Take and Hold run in H3VR lol

[oblique pulsar]

hi guys, not long picked up this game but there are a few things i am just not understanding:

So first one, is while trying to find a good weapon early on, looking at the vids on youtube and peoples weapons are SOOOOO much more stable than mine, and i dont understand how. For example i not long picked up the pp29 and using the same attachments as people on youtube the gun just seems all over the place but on those videos its a fricking lazer beam.

Another thing, is how to equip the med pen as angel?? i've looked everywhere I can think and cant see a way of changing it

[placid echo]

Angel can't use the med-pen anymore after the update in Season 3 that added classes

[torpid wadi]

Man reckon i outta try er out again, fucking hated that gun

[ancient peak]

What Magical ammo are you even using

[placid echo]

Default Shells

[oblique pulsar]

damn 😦 thanks for that

[torpid wadi]

Man classes are a tragedy

Is what it is

[spiral folio]

Warned people

[prisma lance]

im new to the game, are there any movement mechanics to learn? like combinations of slides and jumps?

[next onyx]

They rebalanced the game and made med pens assault exclusive.

Not really anything deep.

[mental delta]

No I like it dude I like it 🥲

[placid echo]

Slide hopping is good to know, tactical sprint, jump, let go of movement stick/keys, crouch to slide and mid-slide, jump.

[torpid wadi]

Hey no judgement here, i know a lot of people wanted em

It’s just a shame to go from whatever loadout you want to the class restrictions we have now

[prisma lance]

any tutorials on yt or smth?

[low timber]

3 more Super 500 kills to get it to T2, and then need 480 more for T1

[placid echo]

You could probably find movement guides on 2042 if you search for it on YouTube.

[prisma lance]

k thx

[oblique pulsar]

any ideas as to why my pp is not as stable as the vids im seeing on youtubes?

To be honest open load outs was an illusion.

Limited ammo meaning you're forced to run ammo box and everything being subpar as it was balanced around the possibility of everyone running it.

[magic bloom]

They’re probably just used to the recoil

Even tho it has no recoil to begin with

[low timber]

Plus high FOV makes look like it’s less recoil

[next onyx]

Ay. Thorski try ADS FoV with a fov setting of 89. It lowers visual recoil.

[oblique pulsar]

ohh thank you, that might help

[next onyx]

Makes you less likely to overcompensate.

Arcom also makes the recoil straight vertical.

Mostly.

[magic bloom]

War hawk best muzzle

[low timber]

Way, I need 236 kills to T1 the RM68
I don’t want to go to the MCS-880 after

[magic bloom]

Honestly just use slugs on the 880

[next onyx]

Lolrip Bozo

[mental delta]

Yeah but I still think specialists should have never been in BF

[low timber]

After RM68 is done then I have only 2 worst guns in the game and two good ones left, but 3 of those are sidearms

[next onyx]

Specialists themselves I don't think were bad but their implementation was rather bad.

[low timber]

MCS-880, MP28, PF51 and Super 500

[next onyx]

Yeah I was gonna legal bot grind the 880 but whatever.

You don't exactly have too much to go.

[low timber]

Way let me kill you 585 times with the MCS

[next onyx]

Reeee

[placid echo]

One of the TDM layouts for Spearhead gave me an idea for a mode (ignore the out of bounds MCOMs lol)

[arctic grove]

yo look at the out of bounds mcom

[mental delta]

I think specialists are a bad addition because BF made us used to play with characters who didn't have any personality or particular aspect, and now we get specialist with special characteristics

[low timber]

The Saphire Steel skin on the MCS-880 looks so fucking good though

[placid echo]

also an interesting layout for Flashpoint, shame I can't use it lol

[magic bloom]

The only issue I have with the class system now is the fact it made some specialists have no use

Rao

[turbid geode]

what??

[placid echo]

I have a buddy that only uses Rao

[turbid geode]

I main Rao

[placid echo]

he even changed his name to have Rao in it lol

[arctic grove]

John Rao

[placid echo]

Xbox player so that was $10

[magic bloom]

I mean I mained rao before the class rework

And his main use was Anti vehicles

[turbid geode]

lmao I got soflam mastery randomly even tho I don't use the Soflam

[torpid wadi]

Oh i don’t disagree, but they gave me a taste of freedom and i liked it

Had classes been in 42 from the beginning i would have no issue

[mental delta]

Yeah unrestricted gadgets and guns aren't a bad thing at all, but I mean we could have gotten those without specialists though

[torpid wadi]

Aye i agree with that

[magic bloom]

But rao was good for the fact you could really do all the AA by yourself

[torpid wadi]

Gotta say i quite enjoy them adding portal weapons to the main game

[mental delta]

Me too right ?

[torpid wadi]

Makes me feel more like an actual merc

Instead of just using the latest guns

Plus they are just cool

[magic bloom]

The P90 in 2042 goes crazy

[torpid wadi]

P90 my beloved

[magic bloom]

If only the spread wasn’t so bad the gun would be amazing

[torpid wadi]

That was my baby in 4

[mental delta]

It's just a bit bad they don't updated those to make it get the same animations as AOW guns

[magic bloom]

My baby in 4 was the MPX and the MTAR

[next onyx]

Scar scar scar

[torpid wadi]

Not much of a scar man myself

[next onyx]

Scar Scar scar

[magic bloom]

AK AK AK

[torpid wadi]

Ak supremacy

[magic bloom]

Way what’s a good setup for the M44

I Love the AK in this game it’s so mid

[turbid geode]

double shotgun

[magic bloom]

It’s not overly bad or good

[mental delta]

AEK

[magic bloom]

The duff duff

[torpid wadi]

A double barrel would be so out of place yet so fun

[next onyx]

It really doesn't matter what you run. Just run a 4x and you'll be set I guess..

Like seriously.

[lyric snow]

are you a miss

[magic bloom]

I also wanna use the PF51

[next onyx]

Why you ask clash.

[torpid wadi]

Miss way

[turbid geode]

run double shotgun with the throwing knife

[next onyx]

Ya, Why you ask?

[next onyx]

Hardline throwing knife with DBS!!!

[torpid wadi]

I miss hardline

[next onyx]

You missed out dude. At release it was great.

I do as well.

[magic bloom]

I mean I used it

But it was just meh

[next onyx]

I tried playing it again but I couldn't deal with the deadzones.

[oblique pulsar]

this is exactly what it was, so much better now thank you

[next onyx]

Yeah the p50 was fun at launch but it kicked it so much. But still used it cause tier 1.

[lyric snow]

tell me some stories about when you was young and pretty

[next onyx]

????

[oblique pulsar]

i have one last stupid question, that gadget of angels is supposed to give 20 armor right?

[next onyx]

It was formerly that yes.

[magic bloom]

You seem sort of feminine I would imagine

[next onyx]

But no more.

[oblique pulsar]

awwwww man lol

[next onyx]

Try zain!

He's really fun!

[oblique pulsar]

i guess atleast i didnt see it working before it was nerfed lol

[magic bloom]

Use dozer

Join the cult

[next onyx]

See now thorski.

[magic bloom]

Your practically immune to explosives

[next onyx]

What if you could regen health after kill.

[ruby saffron]

Breakthrough on exposure is so insane

[magic bloom]

To be fair Zain isn’t as useful since you get med pens by default

[next onyx]

And have a med pen at your disposal at any time!

Ironically though asto I find his passive good at conserving the pens.

[magic bloom]

It is

But still it’s not as useful as it used to be

[torpid wadi]

More of a falck enthusiast myself

[next onyx]

Maybe?

I dunno.

I feel as if it's just as useful.

[magic bloom]

I dunno either

So way when are we gonna play

[next onyx]

When they fix the hitreg.

[jovial widget]

Falck all the way

[kindred flint]

Bruh what.. that thing kicked so much I couldn't use it past melee range

[magic yoke]

Whats the update?

[next onyx]

Seriously though when I can rest and shit I'd love to play with you.

You get to see the effects of my Uber autism when I play games

[magic yoke]

Aek 😭😭

[drowsy shuttle]

pretty meh update

[kindred flint]

Rpk>aek

[next onyx]

See how bmac. Have you tried pushing your mouse up with a high sensitivity with a warhawk compensator.

I mean pulling the mouse down.

[magic yoke]

For honor pfp

[next onyx]

Haha invert moment.

[magic bloom]

ARE THEY ADDING A MUFUCKIN SIG P226?!

[kindred flint]

Oh I wasn't crazy enough to try using it for that long..to actually unlock some upgrades on it

[torpid wadi]

Nope

[next onyx]

I got it tier 1 pretty quickly.

[placid echo]

Isn't that technically already in the game?

[next onyx]

Cause it's not a hard gun.

[magic bloom]

No

[next onyx]

But it did... tilt me.

[kindred flint]

bucket was filled

[next onyx]

I don't need shit bucket tho.

I just kill people!

[placid echo]

nvm the P320 is in the game

[magic bloom]

Damn the pistol they’re adding looked like a 226 at first

[turbid geode]

dropshotting is annoying af

[kindred flint]

Oh you had the bag installed?

[next onyx]

No.

I just do copious amount of crack.

[kindred flint]

[placid echo]

MP443 Grach is fun to use in portal

[magic bloom]

I’m buying a flux raider irl

[placid echo]

Yeah I thought it was a P226, but it was a P320

what're the differences again?

[next onyx]

If you catch my friend by the name redeploy you can ask him. And also check my bio.

[lean magnet]

is the game good yet?

[next onyx]

Try for yourself.

[placid echo]

Good is subjective, personally it's one of my favorite games to play atm

[torpid wadi]

One has the number 226, and the other has the number 320

[lean magnet]

yeah im not installing it until i see the feedback go up

[magic bloom]

One has an external hammer and a decocker and is made almost entirely of steel if I remember right (this being the 226)

The 320 is a chassis type pistol which is how the raider was made

[lean magnet]

i tried it but after an hour or so i just felt empty if that makes sense

[next onyx]

Yeah.

This week is super boring because shit rotation.

[magic bloom]

I want a MK20 SSR chambered in 6.5

[placid echo]

ayo I got a hat for Zain

[magic bloom]

The hat for Zain is drip

[placid echo]

They gave Lis (one of my favorite Operators) some great outfits for this season's BP

[magic bloom]

It works really well with his T-shirt outfit

[next onyx]

Beer hat.

I will admit that lis's default outfit I love with the season 4 camo.

You know that dark autumn camo.

[magic bloom]

I also really like the Paik skin for this season

It’s really nice

[placid echo]

These go great together

[magic bloom]

That’s drip

[next onyx]

Gamr

[magic bloom]

It’s polish

Quite possibly the weirdest sounding language

[placid echo]

torso goes well with that one beret

BP also has a nice skin for Crawford, a person I rarely use lol

[turbid geode]

it's funny when there's a player at the bottom of the scoreboard constantly getting upset in chat and spamming that he will "report everyone for cheating" lol

[placid echo]

I ran into a player that called me, an entire platoon (that plays competitively btw) and my friends cheaters lol

Apparently hitting people with an M44 is considered cheating

[magic bloom]

Paik has petry good skins

[turbid geode]

I keep getting put in the same match with the guy

[magic bloom]

Jesus my typing gets worse the longer I stay awake

[jovial widget]

Falck is a milf

[magic bloom]

It’s so weird that half the specialists are younger than me

[next onyx]

How long have you been awake.

[magic bloom]

She’s to old to be a milf

[jovial widget]

Gilf

[arctic grove]

If you kill someone you are cheater and thats a fact for enemy 😂

[magic bloom]

About 19 hours now

[next onyx]

You dumb.

Go to sleep.

American.

[magic bloom]

See if I got to bed now I won’t wake up til like 2am

[zenith leaf]

I just unlocked the pp2000 is it good ?

[low timber]

Way, what time is it for you?

[placid echo]

Falck's 58 years old

[torpid wadi]

Use it buddy

You just unlocked it

[arctic grove]

You tell us 😂

[placid echo]

btw I like how many times it says "German" in the first lines of her bio

[zenith leaf]

I did play a match with it feels ehh ISH

[jovial widget]

id still hit it

[placid echo]

ok.

[zenith leaf]

The only reason I play her lmao cuz German and Köln

[torpid wadi]

Well there ya go then

[zenith leaf]

The iron sight is just horrendous

[magic bloom]

Your one to talk Australian

[placid echo]

pls stop

[solar obsidian]

holy shit ea just shown bad company 2 is not even worth having listed

[magic bloom]

Ok but like who is best girl in 2042

[arctic grove]

Consider shes medic specialist and you study for that years and years 😂

[next onyx]

We have an excuse to shit talk.

[torpid wadi]

Falck has never let me down

[zenith leaf]

Oh I forgot it's a archive weapon I don't need to play for attachments

Lmaoo I'm so dumb

[magic bloom]

Ii can’t decide between Paik and Blasco

[placid echo]

idk, it's hard for me to pick between them

[zenith leaf]

Same

Need that stim shot

[torpid wadi]

I always know falck has my back with the tacticrack

[arctic grove]

Dont fck up your veins 😂

[magic bloom]

Blasco and Paik Are my favorite

[next onyx]

Welcome to the battlefield community being weird about specialists.

[arctic grove]

Say no to drugs 😂

[next onyx]

Can't say it's the first time I've seen it.

[magic bloom]

I Never Said it had to be attractive

I Just Said best girl

[placid echo]

ok but how do we rate Casper?

[jovial widget]

we know what you really meant

[next onyx]

I won't lie. It would of been really cool if misaki's descendants appeared.

[pseudo pecan]

how do i get into the test mode that i see some videos have doing?i want to setup a firing range where i can test out different weapons/stats

[torpid wadi]

Definitely the coolest looking specialist

[magic bloom]

100/10

[next onyx]

Imagine if in zains place the operator was a Japanese assault.

[zenith leaf]

stim ejicted Yes 👀👀

[magic bloom]

He’s got one of the best voices in the game

[torpid wadi]

I don’t find him to he be very useful to me though

[next onyx]

"FUCK ME, JESUS"

Oh yeah.

Angel is hilarious too.

[magic bloom]

“sometimes they just line up for you”

[ruby citrus]

honestly casper gets all the good drip, shame I don't really enjoy playing him

[shell ermine]

I wonder if it's a coincidence she is German and was born exactly 95 years after a certain someone from German history?

[next onyx]

"In pula mea", A line he yells when attacked literally translates to "In my dick."

[ruby citrus]

his nokk skin is a banger

[magic bloom]

Casper gets the best skins

[magic bloom]

Pffffff

[arctic grove]

You dont have problem when you lose your ammo 😂

[ruby citrus]

the new paik skin may make me want to try her again, her tier 1 is okay but its eh

[next onyx]

I had a Romanian translate it for me.

And even they had a good laugh.

[magic bloom]

Translate what?

Oh angel

[next onyx]

In pula mea

||There's also Mackay yelling when injured "I'm sitting blood"||

[arctic grove]

Suge pula😂

Im kidding

[ruby citrus]

honestly I always find it weird how irish and mackay are the only ones with a true american accent

[magic bloom]

“What’s my password”-Rao 2042

[next onyx]

PULA.

[magic bloom]

Stop talking about your penis

Goober

[next onyx]

Hey I don't intend to make it nsfw he literally screams that.

[magic bloom]

[next onyx]

Mackay also yells asshole spotted.

Which I love.

[magic bloom]

Can’t believe you sent me a feiend request way

[lilac dust]

Sheeeeesh just saw a level 10 get on the end screen showcase with top revives 64 😳

[arctic grove]

Imagine tsunami like a levolutuin in bf

[arctic grove]

Dont be repulsive

Maybe he is ashamed now

😂

[magic bloom]

Should be

[arctic grove]

Look on bright side you have new teammate

😁

[magic bloom]

I get to be carried by way

[arctic grove]

😲

Anyone else exited about aek971

[torpid wadi]

Never was one for the aek personally

[magic bloom]

No

[arctic grove]

Aek was legendary in all bfs

[ebon pilot]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/909514200060153946/1089954911095115786/themissile.mp4

[placid echo]

team chat moments

[arctic grove]

A good way to deal with snipers

😂

[ruby saffron]

Co-op games randomly cheat in the ai’s favor

Like denying tank spawns and giving the enemy team extras

[turbid geode]

full crew transports are the bane of my existance

[calm bison]

The missile is named Kyle

[arctic grove]

Why Lis deserves nothing

[ruby citrus]

you deserve it if you're camping with a sniper tbf

[arctic grove]

(the high velocity, one shot before having to rechamber gun should not be used from a distance)

Only game that snipers make me genuinely hate their existence in is MW2022 and their one shot kill ranges

[ruby citrus]

personally I just whip out the rorsch whenever I see some pesky annoying snipers

using a 4x scope gives no glint so they usually just drop like flies

[fringe fog]

hello can someone help me get rid of this https://imgur.com/a/xaXEc1L

[arctic grove]

why the rorsche deserves nothing

[ruby citrus]

the railgun is sorta busted I have to admit

its a better sniper than any other sniper imo

[pastel loom]

and there are 5 sizes of scope glints
from very small to very large

[ruby citrus]

the muzzle velocity makes it practically hitscan

[acoustic seal]

falck ez

[ruby citrus]

imo lis, best anti aircraft char

nothing beats slamming a tv missile into a 90/0 nightbird

[acoustic seal]

if they're constantly fighting flight assist and going 90-0 they've earned it lmao

[ruby citrus]

I've personally stopped multiple rampaging nightbirds and it always feels amazing

they're amazing pilots though, its a mindgame every time, you have to predict their movement

[acoustic seal]

let them cook bro they've earned it at that point

[ruby citrus]

one thing which will always annoy me is how apache copters dont die in one hit

they're the same size as stealth choppers yet they eat 80ish damage instead of the full 100

[arctic grove]

I think it’s fair for the Attacks

[ruby citrus]

to be fair they're equally as hard to hit as the stealth choppers, at least from personal experience

[arctic grove]

Nightbird and stealth helis just seem “lighter” but for a better justification both the nightbird and stealths have their quirks that earns them a 1 shot to the abyss

[mental delta]

Worst specialist ever implemented into that game to me

[arctic grove]

Is dice gonna nerf the rm68 to make it a nerf gun or are they gonna balance it

[ruby citrus]

honestly I love lis, good tgm >>>> stinger

people using her a shitty anti ground engineer always hurts

[arctic grove]

Absolute casual crutch specialist imo but I do not judge anyone who uses her, in general the concept I think is way too easy

[ruby citrus]

trying to hit good pilots with the tv missile is anything but easy

[arctic grove]

The M5 was always the fairer AT option since it had a rocket trail and needed a direct sight of the tank

[arctic grove]

For helis and air vehicles shes relatively simple to counter, but any ground vehicle suffers to get anything done thanks to her

[ruby citrus]

to be fair tv missile does fuck all damage to tanks, you're better off running the m5 or javelin

her main purpose is to be a skill based counter to air vehicles imo

given she oneshots nightbirds and stealth choppers, and does more damage than the stinger in general, ignoring the bypassing flare thing altogether

[arctic grove]

Lis just needs to be able to harass them from a range the tank has no realistic chance of countering her from, which is why now so many tank players just snipe

[arctic grove]

One part of me wants her damage against armored vehicles reduced to put incentive on the M5 and stinger but I dunno

[ruby citrus]

what I really wish is that they added some interaction toward the people using soflams, like assists and any reward for painting targets

[ruby citrus]

I'd be fine cutting the damage to tanks from 26 to 21, but don't nerf the AA capabilities

[arctic grove]

Agreed she’s fine for AA

[ruby citrus]

especially given the flying tanks rampaging through the game right now

[arctic grove]

I hated the 4.0 update that gave her 600 meters range bro wtf were they even thinking

[ruby citrus]

the idea was that she got moved into engineer which inherently locked her out of 80% of gadgets in that class

which I still find stupid as fuck personally

your options are C5, AT mines and the stupid repair bot

[arctic grove]

Nobody slanders the EOD bot mkay, it’s le funny gadget

(Slightly useful in rush )

[ruby citrus]

honestly I'm not a fan of the class rework in general

if you want to run non-tv stuff now you're forced into boris and crawford

which are in my opinion 2 of the worst characters in the entire game

[ripe ravine]

how does one launch game if it doesn't pass the loading screen of anti cheat? I just cleared my cache...

[ruby citrus]

barring crawfords transport vehicle repair cheese

[arctic grove]

Crawford is incredibly situational unless you do repair then he’s probably pretty good, Boris needs a buff or just a new gadget period (which won’t happen)

At least make the Boris turret controllable

[ruby citrus]

boris turret just serves to cover your back essentially

if it beeps someone is behind you, but that can already be done by a T-UGS

I can't remember the last time it hit any infantry

[jovial widget]

boris turret is underwhelming

[ripe ravine]

shit game launched after 20 times trying the same play button in ea launcher holy shit

[ruby citrus]

I think one thing they might do is changing it from full auto to sniper honestly, I don't know how toxic that would be though

[arctic grove]

Class rework alleviated some issues with class incentives and gameplay balance but the whole situation proves why Specialists weren’t only a bad executive decision but also the same for gameplay as well

[ruby citrus]

like instead of dealing its damage in a burst just do one big chunk after locking on

personally the class weapon bonuses are practically useless

[turbid geode]

it's garbage

[ruby citrus]

only good one is the engineer one

[arctic grove]

Assault one is okay, at least for me since I barely play any other Specialist in any class cause the specialists horrible ads movement speeds

[ruby citrus]

recon one is trash cuz rorsch beats any sniper even with the steady scope, more mags is useless for assault, faster draw time is also meh also smgs

[placid echo]

I'll never understand why players teabag for kills that didn't exactly involve them https://streamable.com/pu8foh

[turbid geode]

boris turret is only good for the spots and then it dies because one player sneezed on it

[ruby citrus]

also I will NEVER understand the logic of paik, the specialist with the close range wallhack gadget

having a bonus to sniper rifles

[arctic grove]

speaking from experience; that guy pissed him off

[placid echo]

If someone gets close to her, use the scanner and she can see them

[ruby citrus]

like I can say with confidence that the main way most people paik is smokes and close range stuff

[arctic grove]

Paik is pretty much assault as far as gadget goes. They stuck her in Recon cause she spots you if you hit her tho (I hate the concept of paik in general)

[woeful python]

usually its cause the player they are teabagging killed, teabagged or did something else to piss the person off.

[ruby citrus]

thats rao, paik spots the ppl she shoots

[arctic grove]

Ahhh I see

[ruby citrus]

they swapped their passives a while back

[placid echo]

It also creates the funny dillemma where if Paik shoots Rao, both of them are spotted lol

[ruby citrus]

its why I always go rao when I go sniping

[spiral folio]

They'll never add a sniper specialist

[ruby citrus]

casper and rao are probably the ones that fit that the most

[spiral folio]

Yea with his short range drone or short range hacking

[ruby citrus]

more for their passives

[spiral folio]

I can literally go to best buy and get a better drone

[ruby citrus]

I do love me some aggro casper though

its a bootleg paik but at least he looks cool

[turbid geode]

Rao is fun for the spots you get for simply dying

[arctic grove]

I pretty much only play Casper/dozer for their looks

[ruby citrus]

paik just plainly does not look good, her T1 skin at least covers her up completely

[arctic grove]

I typically use Casper for sniper larp, dozer reminds me of the older games Assault characters so I’ll rock him whenever I’m feeling bored of specialists

[spiral folio]

I wouldn't want a big poofy ghili suit to make myself a bigger visual target

[ruby citrus]

his nokk skin removes that but yeah its battle pass

[spiral folio]

Or a suit that looks like a bush on one of the baren waste maps

[arctic grove]

It’s weird how S2 had some cosmetics about a forest/jungle

no forest/jungle map in game

[ruby citrus]

what even is the name of that whole black cloth over face thing

I just call it the nokk skin cuz its pretty much 1 on 1 how nokk from R6 looks

[arctic grove]

The only place they’d remotely work is on Orbitals south side

I honestly forgot myself, let’s just call it nokk

[ruby citrus]

but yeah casper steals all the drip

[arctic grove]

Casper, Rao, Dozer cosmetics >

[ruby citrus]

that one rao legendary skin looks fine af too imo

[spiral folio]

If you wanna blend in. Basic olive drab or desert tan will do it

[arctic grove]

I hate how Rao got his game cover helmet but never the combat uniform

[ruby citrus]

rao base looks like ass but his T1 beret looks nice

also most recons are super easy to get T1 with

go to rush XL and get it done in 2 games

[arctic grove]

[ruby citrus]

are those the VAs?

[placid echo]

I don't think so

I know Paik's voice actor had a "Behind the Scenes" video https://youtu.be/Rtj0agzDqUE

[ruby citrus]

btw am I the only one that muted the announcer voices cuz they annoy me a lot

[next onyx]

My friend posted a clip of a guy parachuting down trying to flank, the guy failed and then 6 other people mag dumped their corpse.

[arctic grove]

Announcer voices are one of the only things that makes me feel like the game has an actual theme

[placid echo]

Fun-Fact, the female Russian Announcer is the same voice actor as Roxanne Wolf from FNAF: Security Breach

[arctic grove]

That’s… actually really cool

She has a great voice

[ruby citrus]

honestly I miss when everything was in the language of the side you were playing

but I get that with specialist having names and faces and stuff, not just being john does it makes sense that they're all specially voiced

[arctic grove]

When both factions were very clearly distinct in their own way in general. Cosmetics and character models didn’t overlap factions, funny enough 2042 plays generic voice lines for teammates in the factions native language if they’re not squad members

[ruby citrus]

I honestly miss BF1s announcer

might be a hot take

[arctic grove]

BF1s announcers were super satisfying

[lilac dust]

Hmmm wonder what she did in destiny

[ruby citrus]

I still miss BF1 breakthrough, one of the most atmospheric experiences I've had in any game

[lilac dust]

Additional crew sounds like extras? Like she voiced a random civillian in the game?

[arctic grove]

BF3/4 takes the cake for me, they sound great and I love how DICE was considerate to them sounding ‘authentic’

[ruby citrus]

BFV and BF2042 breakthrough are just shells of BF1 breakthrough

[placid echo]

btw I only knew that fun fact because someone made art of Roxanne in a Russian Soldier uniform saying one of the voice lines in the game lol

[arctic grove]

Breakthrough is probably intended to be a more atmospheric game mode anyways, but it’s popular for how close it gets everyone

[pastel loom]

bf1 didn't exactly had one called breakthrough

[ruby citrus]

well yeah they were called operations

[arctic grove]

Operations/frontlines I think

[shell ermine]

Breakthrough has never been a consistently good mode

[ruby citrus]

but its basically breakthrough

the grand operations in BFV were just plain ass, its just 3 games strung together

[arctic grove]

It’s good in BF1 for the game that sets out to be although I feel like it has always been annoyingly attacker friendly

[shell ermine]

In fact outside of Iwo Jima it's just downright bad in all three games its in

[ruby citrus]

to be fair there were some maps with notoriously hellish points to take as attack

Another fun fact about Voice Actors, Dozer has the same VA as Jeff Sullivan from Sniper Elite 5

[arctic grove]

No BF game that includes it has alleviated that balance and it’s annoying, it’s even worst in 2042 cause the Transports

[ruby citrus]

renewal B2 is always hell for me as attack

[shell ermine]

Completely unenjoyable defending

[ruby citrus]

renewal E2 as well

exposure C1

[arctic grove]

True. Most of the time across the last 2 games the maps never really suit angles for defenders well, although in 2042 in particular it gets really bad for attackers. Like kaleidoscope last sector

[shell ermine]

Like if for some god forsaken reason I'm playing Breakthrough I'll always back out of a match if I get put on the defending team

[ruby citrus]

spearhead ends with defenders getting their teeth caved in for the first 4 sectors then them holding out 300 spawns on E half the time

[arctic grove]

They decided to change exposures breakthrough layout (for the worst) and didn’t touch the monstrosity that is Kaleidoscope BT

[ruby citrus]

kaleidoscope final sector is hell as well

spearhead final is also hell

[shell ermine]

Frontlines is the better mode and what DICE should've prioritized over Breakthrough

[ruby citrus]

I just don't like how most BT games end with the attackers breaking defenders kneecaps for the first x sectors

then losing half the time on the final one

[acoustic seal]

bf1 frontlines my beloved

[shell ermine]

That Friday when Frontlines was the FNB mode was fantastic

[arctic grove]

Nah what we need is Operations. 3 full ticket chances for Attackers to win the game /j

I never played the Frontlines mode but I’ll check it out if they revisit it later

[ruby citrus]

btw can we please just ban mackay from manifest

[arctic grove]

BfV > BF1

[ruby citrus]

bloody hell the shipping containers have eyes

[arctic grove]

A climbing mechanic would suit manifest so well, although it wouldn’t do much outside that map

[ruby citrus]

the new map is so bad for me

the hills have eyes

[arctic grove]

I’m not liking it either tbh

[ruby citrus]

its like there are always half a dozen people sitting on those hills

and nowhere feels safe

[shell ermine]

Tipping Point, it's @placid echo 's mode

[placid echo]

Hi

[acoustic seal]

objectively false but sure whatever

[ruby citrus]

at least on exposure the crater campers are wide open

I just want more maps like devastation or rotterdam

[shell ermine]

Does DICE inform you when your mode is going to be in FNB?

[placid echo]

Kinda

[ruby citrus]

I'm sick and tired of vast open maps of sheer nothingness

[placid echo]

I was actually in close communication with Ripple Effect, letting me know if something didn't work or needed to be changed as well as any changes they might make on their end

[jade stratus]

I don’t think @arctic grove was there on release

[ruby citrus]

hourglass is the worst map in the entirety of battlefields existence, I never though something could beat panzerstorm

[shell ermine]

Well it needs to come back asap.

[ruby citrus]

only purpose of hourglass is for it to be a helicopter playing ground

[jade stratus]

fr

[arctic grove]

Map reworks basically just need to cut down excess space, use assets and resources better, and IMO the game needs more spread

[placid echo]

There was a whole verification process that Tipping Point had to go through

[shell ermine]

Panzerstorm is great if you are a tanker or stick to center flags as infantry

Which is kinda funny considering its basically Frontlines

[placid echo]

I am making two modes atm Supremacy and Stronghold Showdown

[ruby citrus]

I just wish that like

[arctic grove]

Makes all the maps stressful to play when you can accurately shoot auto up to 100 meters away for example

[ruby citrus]

okay pilots/tankers got their playing grounds

now give us devastation

[jade stratus]

I liked it just so I could grind tanks and bombers

[shell ermine]

None of the 2042 maps should've been larger than Hamada at max

[ruby citrus]

oh god yeah

hamada is so much worse than panzerstorm

I forgot that hell of a map was a thing

[shell ermine]

But instead we got these gigantic wastes of space and resources

[placid echo]

Thankfully nothing still feels like Al Sundan

[jade stratus]

Sinai also was big but nobody went to g flag anyways

[arctic grove]

They unfortunately overestimated how much space 128 players would need

[ruby citrus]

hot take I actually like al sudan

the C D area is actually fun

[placid echo]

laser eyes

[jade stratus]

I like the town areas so

[arctic grove]

Sinai G: the same few players and the occasional armored car

It’s almost funny

[jade stratus]

I only went there to get the tank hunter

[ruby citrus]

but yeah the game desperately needs more maps like devastation

stranded is a infantry focus map but its ass because just like discarded 90% of the action happens on one point

[shell ermine]

Honestly Hamada worked better as Conquest Assault, don't know why they changed that

[ruby citrus]

honestly even spearhead is like that

90% of players converge on C

[shell ermine]

But fighting over Bridge/Castle area was fun on Hamada

[jade stratus]

that’s why the mid season event was somewhat interesting

[ruby citrus]

the castle was the highlight of hamada

getting to the castle is another beast

esp on BT

[shell ermine]

Fortress was a fucking fantastic mode on Hamada

[placid echo]

So brief description on what I'm working on at portal
Supremacy: Starts out as conquest but if one team captures all objectives or depletes the enemy's tickets then enemy's mcoms activate. Destroy them to win, if the attack fails then the flags are reset and MCOMs disappear
Stronghold Showdown: Two teams have to defend their MCOMs... that's it :p

[ruby citrus]

I will never understand the mastermind that decided to remove the stadium entirely from hourglass BT

[shell ermine]

Building seige fortifications to scale the walls...

[ruby citrus]

like... why

[arctic grove]

128BT played so badly on Spearhead

bring it back

[ruby citrus]

its the only good part of that map

[shell ermine]

I like Al Sundan a lot

[ruby citrus]

also, the SPH was a mistake

[cosmic pike]

lmao aek is comin

[jovial widget]

there needs to be more points of interest for 128 players than what they currently have, and their reworks really didnt address the issue

[shell ermine]

C/D/E is a lot of good infantry combat

[jade stratus]

Or the one who put it so freakin far away and the one that only made half of it

[ruby citrus]

boom boom zain can mindlessly farm like 60 kills in BT by existing

[next onyx]

Al sundan fucking hell forgot it was a map.

[ruby citrus]

source: I just tried it

[arctic grove]

Zain, SFAR, SPH, grenade of choice, profit

[ruby citrus]

scar with 3 underbarrels, SPH, frag, zain

yeah that

[jade stratus]

I liked it better than Hamada

and pzstorm

[cosmic pike]

sph is good almost got tier 1

[ruby citrus]

al sudan is a banger if you stay near the C area

[next onyx]

I forget about the under barrels on the scar.

[ruby citrus]

imo underbarrels need to share their ammo

[next onyx]

Al sundan makes hamada look like a good map.

[jade stratus]

AK24 with the underbarrel attachment reloads faster than sfar for some reason

[ruby citrus]

guy can dump 3 incideraries then instantly dump 3 HEs

also the RM68 needs a serious adjustment, the thing is literally a laser beam and can contest most MMRs

[jade stratus]

And is resuppliable

[shell ermine]

Frankly the only bad BFV maps were Fjell 652, Narvik, and Underground

[ruby citrus]

had a guy beam me in less than a second from 150m away with the RM

[shell ermine]

Supremacy kinda reminds me of Conquest Double Assault Lines.

[ruby citrus]

only the scar was capable of doing that beforehand, but at least the scar kicks a bit, this thing is legit a laser beam

[shell ermine]

I don't like the new AR. Just not feeling it

[jade stratus]

cmon, we need engagement distances

[dense vector]

I just snipe 90% of the time

[arctic grove]

Yes

[jade stratus]

ac9 beam from 80 meters

[arctic grove]

Like, I don’t mind the gunplay in 2042 but it’s just a contradiction with these maps

[ruby citrus]

was just about to type this, its insane how there is no concept of engagement distance in this game

ARs can beam you from sniper distances

[arctic grove]

Lately I’ve been STRESSING the importance of adding spread back to the guns

[jade stratus]

and snipers are practically useless

[ruby citrus]

reducing the headshot multi of SMGs just enforced the AR meta

[gloomy otter]

Anyone knos after effects here? Need some help with rendering ( out of gpu memory stuff)

[jade stratus]

like with the rail gun/ no recoil/ no spread
