The engravings offer no tactical advantage what so ever
@low timber The Rm277's skin has a unique foregrip and bipod.
That’s the normal foregrip
Nah it's unique cause it normally uses the Foregrip model.
Ah yeah.
You happened to get a good game.
what foregrip
Do the assists with crawford count towards mastery
That's the straight vertical foregrip.
t1 vehicles are hard to get
u a cqb round enthusiast now? @next onyx
?
That foregrip has been in game for months, it was probably updated in v2.2
I lost 2/3 of my completion with Crawford after the update
new update next week
I just swap the mags out when I need them.
wonder whats in store
Yeah standard.
It used to look the same like the grip on the BF3 Portal weapons, but then they completely changed the model.
i swap to cqb for closer fights the reload helps a ton
as i was chatting, some guy invited me to a gc on xbox chat that is a bad one
Once I get the RM277 to 10K I don't think I'll touch it again.

im prob gonna use it till it gets nerfed
occasionally run m16/aek when i get bored of it
Is China in 2042 or just us and russia
I need 1700 to 1600 more kills and I'll be done.
i just hope lcmg never gets nerfed
I forgor
why does the rpk-74 have no drum mag
or if it does they add an even better lmg
hard tho
im just saying here do NOT use the rpk74 its so dogshit
prob one of the worst guns
How many hours do you have on the game
its ak24 but worse in almost every way
didn't the mod say it was good
and ak24 is already mid
its not
im just gonna put it this way:
no 4 shot kill, no 2 shot headshot at close range, 5 shot kill only to 38m
no gun is bad if you use it correctly
I just read a thing saying this game based in 2041, coalitions form in 2042?
how is the game based in 2041
compare it to rm68: 4 shot till 40m, 5 shot till 150m. or lcmg: 4 shot till 30m, 5 shot till 100m
or M16, 5 shot till 75m, 2 shot headshot till 19m
all have more or less the same recoil
Idk I quick read a Reddit thread talking about which countries are still there, saying 2042 will form the coalitions, maybe year 2 update is that?
so no reason to use rpk
why doesnt 1942 have japan
rpk is just avancys but worse in every way
Big lore guy here
Personally i play about every gun cos i find using the same thing incredibly boring
you can use many different guns that are way better than rpk
i hate 2042 cus they killed pac
Rip pac
Was that in the cutscene pac dying?
Yes but what if i want to play the rpk
Been awhile since I watched
there are so many vault guns better than rpk
idk why you want to
it feels shit
its stats are shit
The Exodus mini movie they dropped before the game came out
that was a advertisement
Well i don’t really care
Yeah it’s not a hard game to perform in
Gotcha gotcha
the dark market is just a knockoff of the black market
does anyone have the actual full picture of Paik and Lis from the new PKP skin?
when is bf1842 coming out
when battlefield 1410
"Gunpowder is broken"
what war is there even in 1842
Some europe shit probably
bf 1862 is better
"dude how did he hit me from that far with the musket"
Austro hungary v france or something
"dude why does this revolver take 20 seconds to reload"
bf 22 January 1879
yeah but compared to these obscure wars the american civil war will probably sell better
"nerf the ironclad"
Sharpes rifle should be removed its too accurate!
Launching a model-t into the air with tnt
Battlefield
bf1042 when
just battlefield
"Steel armor has no place in a game like this"
"Social classes are broken"
Medics wouldn't revive, as it always is
"bro he's using the long sword this noob"
Bf1842
You call a medic over
They cut off your leg
You die anyway
Then someone watching dies
If people think the game is slow paced now.
What gaming chair is this...
That's fun
anyone have takedown timers
Surely the magical system will catch em soooon?
Hopefully. I called them out in chat then got D/C’d from the server
So thankfully I can report
That’s the second cheater I’ve reported in the last 24 hours
Lmao. Yeah that’s legit for sure
level 42 too so he been playing for a bit
Wonder how long it takes to catch em
Bro when are they going to fix the breakthrough layout of exposure
It's so fucking terrible
When are they gonna remove exposure. So fucking terrible
exposure itself is terrible
cope
and it’s legit the map i get the most
Finally a fellow exposure hater.
They literally made the map more open

Like the base maps during launch
Is there anyone that likes the current exposure?
No
I didn’t even like it before.
pretty good on conquest
They made BT 500x worse
I liked the previous layout better
It is easily my least favorite map. Bottom tier. Below hourglass. Hate it. Yet get it constantly
Because both sides had no huge advantage over each other
Exposure is good on BT

Was
Its the single most frustrating map to play against bots tho
It was already bad before but it’s infinitely worse on BT now.
It's no longer good on bt
The second sector is heavily favoring the defending
It's like the last sector of fucking kaleidoscope all over again
1st sector is better 2nd is worse 3rd is worse final is poobrains
Orbital is goated
Renewal is great too
I love the two different environments on one map idea
Discarded is my least favorite map in the game
renewal is cool as shit, caspian border vibes
kaleidoscope is alright, leaning on good
I detest discarded
Renewal has a better bt layout than exposure
Hourglass is alright
fuck hourass
Hourglass is ass
Ive had really good games on attack on HG
But a better balance bt layout than exposure
enjoy getting instakilled by a Tor tank hiding in spawn
Hourglass is still less bad than exposure cause the final sector isnt inside a tiny cluster fuck
Exposure is fucking awesome what
Orbital is good. Kale is okay. Manifest used to be better before but it’s still good ish. Spearhead is pretty okay. Same with stranded. The rest of the maps are all about the same to me. Teetering on mid at best. Exposure sucks ass.
Literally the tunnels in that map
Grab an EBLC-RAM or M5C bolte and a friend
go ham
"Was". They absolutely cucked the BT layout
Exposure is ez for marksman kills tho
Sit up on the ridge and blast unsuspecting idiots on the ground laying down
Its even easy to kill helicopter pilots on that map since most fly below the ridge on the later objectives
Just snipe em dont even gotta use a launcher
The whole flow is either sitting around in the tunnels being afraid to run outside. Or it’s parachuting down and getting beamed by people in the tunnels. That map on conquest is the drizzling shits. And it’s somehow worse on BT
Breakthrough Exposure is f tier
Whenever i play co-op with the bots i just pretend the map does not exist
on conquest it's awesome
Best version of exposure is Rush chaos. But only if you’re defending.
128 anyways
The new map is pretty good
Maybe, I did enjoy it on conquest, but breakthrough it has a huge unfair disadvantage for attacking, you have better luck winning on kaleidoscope as attacking than on exposure
Attacking on exposure is damn near impossible
Esp when they bring an AA car into the tunnels
They should really put a bunker door to block the tunnel
the defending tank can just peek and hide
Like the one on orbital
repair -> repeat
And make aps less broken
I don’t like it much on 128. It’s like the only base map on this game I think is better in 64
That sector is so badly designed. Its not an epic battle its just plugging shots blindly into a hole til your hits outpace the spawn rate
Better than "theyre backcapping again" conquest
Only if I get tired of the conquest pacing. Cause it can become draining in this game.
Bt is good.
By pacing surely you mean doing good in a helicopter, dodging all Lissiles, properly flaring and retreating only to get fucked by a prestige rage baby who locked the tor tank to just oneshot you
Yes, I play bt because it's more chaotic than CQ and there is a higher chance of getting into a gun fights
No I mean running from flag to flag
English is not my native language, I am sorry for my bad grammar. I got a battlepass. It is level 1. I do not want to play 2042 for now. Question: Can I reach level 100 by only passing weekly objectives? I wait for 12 weeklies and then complete them all.
I play BT because its more organized and directional like a battle
Not if you’re not getting xp
Where conquest is just people going everywhere
If you managed to do every weekly (including the timed bonus challenge) without getting any xp tokens. You’d end up at exactly tier 77
Orbital is better on 64
128 is just way too spaced out
I disagree.
I hate 128 in general so im biased
I don’t care about the player count either way. But I don’t think any of the base maps play well on 64 except flashpoint.
They feel like lesser versions and usually play too slowly. Cause they’re not truly designed for 64
Bro, I am so tired of constantly defending in breakthrough; the unbalance is real.
The portal maps play good on 64. But that’s cause they’re made for it.
Don’t quit out at the end of the round. You should get swapped to attack
Then play exposure, the layout is so terrible it favors you so much that you will win defending 85% of the time
In the second sector mostly
I admit that despite the chances being high of it not happening, tier 1 portal weapons would look amazing.
I think it’s happening
Especially if these likely rumors of year two are true
No way they just leave them as is.
I think they intentionally want portal weapons to be a little worse than the regular weapons
At the least we got another season
It would be smart to do another year of seasons
Tier 1 skins aren't likely but general camos yeah.
Like the skins you collect.
They are building up the playerbase again
Way, the infant slayer

It would be foolish to toss away the little amount of goodwill they have like they did with bf5 and battlefront 2
So did you check the other guns with the grip?
I see, you are afraid of the truth 
There was that one squad reward leak with the m109 which is funny cause it wasnt adopted since it used the "problematic" 25mm projectile from the xm25
Inspection in 4 hours please kill me.
Id rather a m107 50cal
OwO
Standstill so I can get my marksman kill
With depleted uranium ammo
I am useless with a sniper rifle lads. I see videos of people sniping and they can just shoot standing still enemies. Yet when I play nobody does that
See now. I'll just go auto drive and just hit you for pittance at a range AVOIDING EVERYTHING.
I think with marksman it's really a case of shooting the people you know where they are. The troglodytes that never move.
Nobody is ever just sitting around for me
I want to see a montage of someone using only the MCS-880 
nobody does what? stand still?
https://twitter.com/insomniacgames/status/1641129941193441282 Spiderman x Battlefield collab confirmed 😏
lol
yesterday when BT servers died, i went to play a game on Conquest 128p.. Breakaway... so i grabbed the DXR just for the memes... and i was hitting people running at 400-500m away ... sometimes i forgot how much fun sniping is
I hate it. My aim is too bad
the trick is @wide shore you need to shoot for where they going to be not where they are...
ofc its a bit of luck and calculation
I know but I overcompensate too much.
I accidentally shot the pilot out with the railgun.
I don’t put in enough practice with the damn things cause sniping doesn’t interest me.
fair enough i guess
There was this condor on rush xl. Said I'm not too good at aiming with it and I somehow lead a nail into their head.
I used to snipe a lot on BC2. And I was okay at it in BF1 too.
Even redeploy saw it.
i want to learn how to fly... but its gonna take hundred of hours to be decent/good... and i don't have the time or the patience to do it...
It is such a joy when the enemy stops for literally zero reason
Anyone shooting a condor pilot is doing a service in my eyes
yeah sometimes they stop or just shift suddendly to other direction
but thats why its so much fun when you hit those shots at 500m
Exactly, makes you wonder what the hell was going through their head
i sniped pilots 4 or 5 times (with sws and gol) from attacking choppers, transport choppers and 1 time i sniped a nightbird... its so satisfying sniping pilots...
its 50% luck and 50% skill
Rails better cause it damages the vehicle if you miss
Clearly not a bullet.
I did it once in BC2 Vietnam and never did it again
Aye if that aint the truth
I remember sniping my first helicopter with a tank. It was very memorable because i missed and hit a friendly heli on hardcore 
I couldn’t believe it
I actually can't stop laughing.
Wonder if i saved it as a clip
I just got a frag grenade mastery badge because of how many times I've shot people's grenades with my weapon
I always carry smokes
Ugh.
I like to return nades back to enemies
Just the guy trying to fight the enemy helicopter and his own tank fucking shells hit him.
Poor guy
I had something like that on world of tanks once. I made a long bomb shot like 400m with a tank and this ally light tank comes out of nowhere and perfectly intercepts it
Lmao
That was back when it had team attack. 100% ko
I once spray painted a wall with my teammates blood on six siege.
In bf5 in this weird custom server I kept accidentally running over teammates. @torpid wadi
It was some weird custom server with ff enabled and nothing else.
So I just... didn't stop running them over.
Lmao it didn’t kick you?
It did after 10 road kills.
Bloody hell lol
I was 20 off a hundred bomb too!
Were you driving with your eyes closed?
Aye fair enough
Hopefully you dont have a driving license irl 
Hi everyone, just wanted to hop in real quick and ask if anyone has experience with adding friends on other platforms
We cant seem to get it to work
I'm on PC Steam he's on Xbox
Here's a fun fact : New players particularly PS Plus new players are easier to kill and not get killed by on average than "BEGINNER AI" in Solo/Coop
Oil rig dads used to MW2

Make sure the xbox friend and yourself have crossplay turned on in the settings, then tell the xbox friend to open the social menu with the right stick, and search you up or vice versa, accept your friend request
Also which generation of xbox are they on? Xbox One or Series X / S ?
X
Okay then they should be able to add you
When on the main menu, press the right stick then go to the 2nd tab where it says "Invitations" and they should be able to accept your request or search for you there
he was able to send me a request there as I have him as a friend on XBox but it doesnt show for me
If it doesn't show for you may just need to restart your game
Idk why but I feel like the EA app is the problem
As I start through steam and that thing somewhat gets started in a lite version in the back
We can even play in the same portal match but cant add ourselves there
Hmm yeah I'm on PS5 so I'm not sure I can help with PC / EA app problems
I'm starting Battlefield directly through EA now lets see
I also can't add him on EA Play somehow even though my Xbox Account is connected there and my steam friends show up properly
Plus when I try to add him a red Failed to send friend request plops up
Anyone wanna play that’s has might just started if so my username is the same as my discord I’m on psn
//2:-13629710400:404J:22010K
Is it perhaps one of your friends Origin account privacy settings?
ok.. fixed now somehow
So.. probably the fix that worked was:
Blocking the player and unblocking the player again
Since I got told to put this in here. I want the M95 from BC2 to come to 2042 and the m24 to come as a vault weapon over to 2042
now that i think of it how the hell do you pronounce paik
I see this as week completed 😄
Personally I say "pie-eek"
Japanese chick
I saw the fail @dapper river !
Close enough
same.. performance feels so much worse somehow

No
Might need to recreate your cache though
the marksman one is abit confusing like do I gotta sit back and snipe from a distance or run around with a dmr
Maybe my pc is just getting old
O do u mean that i basically have to play every map once for it to get smoother again
I've had this problem in maps i havent played yet after the update iirc
Sometimes you just have to play a bit for things to even out.
I'm actually really happy everyone is starting to see 2042 is a good game now
Sure it's not a core battlefield game but it will get there. It's certainly not rage inducing like other games, it has it's moments but overall the game is great
Hopefully it fixes this, makes bf for me quite unplayable atm since my pc specs are already bit too low for bf2042
But apparently alot of people have had same problem
Been a long time fan since BF2 and until today BF3 is my fav. Preordered BF2042 since I owned every BF title up till but got dissapointed. Now a couple weeks ago since release my BF3 heart fell in love with BF2042. And that's saying alot. It has become so much better, and I agree to all that the title deserves its comeback like a Phoenix 🔥 I cannot wait to see the devs give this title more love as it had with the previous major updates.
Please devs, more classic maps and weapons and surprise us with lots of new stuff 🙌
I had no problem with large rush either which is surprising, im lagging 5x more in 32player conquest now lol
Feels the opposite to me, connection is crisp and graphics seem better for some reason
Low is fine for me, ive got used to playing with them every game for 5 years now😄
I shot a lissile in mid air with a 40mm yesterday
Lol Lissile
So year 2 is in the files after yesterdays patch
I hate having to walk right up to and stare at them in the rare chance you see the interact button to throw it back, all assuming the enemy who threw it didn’t cook it/you didn’t take too long and lost your torso

We need more Anime skins in 2042 tbh
Source?
were can i post bugs
Heres the thing about 2042, apparently the store is making enough to justify things getting added to it
I don’t mind that they add some genshin impact skins
That's a nice piece of guesswork 😄
68 days I think
Amber, mona, lisa yes
it's pretty consistent for me
I want anime stuff too. But only for the best Anime in the world, The Last Airbender, but the movie


i also have this one
no! 
Look, I wouldn't mind skins that made guns look like anime guns, but just slapping anime character paint on a gun is so lazy
nobody:
anime fan's for no reason: "zomg y doesnt this gaem hav cat ear operator waifus and pink waifu gun skins and pink tracerzzzz?? (´・ω・`)"
Angel senpai skin
it's the most realistic though
people be putting stickers on their guns irl
Falck waifu skin
Thats a real milf 
Cause you know, its told in a lore that she has a son
fun fact
the only nudity in the game is in falck lore
take what you will with that info
The world would be a better place if all guns were pink. Just sayin 
ignores the Falk stuff completely
But YOU choose what parts you focus on AND communicate 
and yet you focus on very specific parts of said lore
its just a lil fun fact

But DICE LOVES WEEBS
So much that they added hentai character to ww2
Why do you think they released an anime bundle?
Add boobas with jiggle physcics gun charms and its an instant cash grab.
Exactly Gooey
Hold up
which character? name?
That would go up their rating with PEGI
wait who is DICE target demographics? 12 year old kids or adults?
Based on this game so far, I aint sure
Same
all of the above if possible
I dont even hear swearing in this game
I still play it and grind weekley for boins
Remember bf3 soldiers swearing
you must be fuckin deaf
The bots swear funnily enough
The bots got good dialogue
they get dirty with the naughty words in this game
not in chat tho
that would be wrong
Nothing beats bf3 defib kill "fry motherfucker"
Its endlessly funny to me that the ai bots are class based stock uniform soldiers
100%
A. Tate Ai was on the German side
And they reduced it in bf4
If only they replaced the specialists with the stock uniforms that exist in the files 
Aint my fault I cant remember any of swearing in this game
Maybe its not violent enough
I know people who exclusively play solo because of the absence of specialists
What?
And how would such nice german lady like Falck swear
Had a AI bot freeze in a game and it let me get a good look at what they dress like, reminds me of bf4 almost
Most of the specialists curse if they take AA damage while in a jet, but there's some other cases too, especially Mackay. The main two lines I can immediately think of are
Mackay opening voice line: "Time to get the fuck into dodge"
Mackay taking damage in a jet: "FUCK FUCK FUCK" and "YOU GODDAMN MOTHER FU"
Lol they have to clarify what’s a marksman kills? Some people need to play more recon 😎
Mackay swears like a sailor
I mean because he (most likely) is one?
I like some of the specialists a lot more than others from a visual design aspect
He’s Canadian, and his default skins ranks show his rank in black and gold, which is the rank colours of the Canadian navy
Mackay looks fine, boris looks fine, few of them are alright
Although it’s still technically wrong as if you are in camo and navy your ranks are meant to be black not gold
Stock irish is fine
shooting people >100m is a waste of time
You have to in order to get vss
oh, another voice line I hear a lot is Zain getting hit in a jet he either say some Egyptian or some other language I don't understand (probably a curse) and of course "What the fuck!!"
Well, maybe thats cause I only play with Falck, so I dont hear the swearing
I still think that leaving specialists is bad
Even with this class thing
I'm confident a lot of specialists curse in their native language.
So Falck might just be cursing in German
Gotta play Lis then 
Actually, yeah, I think I have heard Falck yell "Scheiße!" occasionally
I wish they got more violent with low health
I will remember bf1 lady
We have lost objective butter
Hey, did u get it?
Anyone can clarify requierements for marksman kills?
Thx
Apparently double XP this weekend 
dice after making a 2 shot assault rifle with the firerate of an smg
Well that was a cool battlefield session. Got to play a bunch of games with a couple insomniac community managers and they didn't suck at the game 
Did you have to wake them up a lot? 
There wasn't any room in their squad but I was repairing their chopper a lot
2xp from 31 to 3
The single most badass thing that can happen in 2042 is orbitals rocket detonating in the end screen
Looks so cool in the distance behind the MvPs
What gun is this?
aek
Comparatively it’s stats seem lower than Scar
2 shot headshot
I mean
the aek has wayyyy higher rate of fire than all of those
AEK has some wild ass recoil that kinda makes it unusable
I think people just freak out about the AEK because le funny BF4
i think the issue is that it has recoil
as opposed to every other gun in the game that doesn't
the AEK wasn't even that OP in BF4, people were just complaining
well it's a portal weapon
i wouldn't expect it to be good
For close distance dozer kills,how close do you have to be exactly?
i like your about me . s/o hardline 🥺
yeah for real, hardline is a good game people were just mean.
I mean the game played like BF4, but a more infantry focused BF4.
i was legendary 12 … i was so close to 15
Bt against bots on exposure is torment
what was your level in hardline? what platform did u play on :3
I played on PC. think i got to around Rank 64 before servers started being hella dead
It doesn't feel that bad to me, honestly.
wow .. i didnt know there were pc hardline players
A few. There's only one server that gets players but it's not consistent.
i played on playstation . and a little after ps servers went dead i went to xbox hardline . bcus its free for gamepass and has a lot more players
Yoooooooooooooo NO SHOT ..... The same guy that I mentioned a couple days ago raging at the team in gamechat literally just joined my squad randomly from matchmaking then said "Oh fuck off" and left

i was legendary 12 . 200 thousand plus kills ..
That owner probably knows me. Do they have any kind of discord for that server or does he just get on whenever he feels like?
Is there any way to set up a portal game against ai and be the defending team?
guys wyh i cannot see my bfv stats?
thanks

just pay real money for that
boost
i have to boost to send pictures
no
.. 😭😭
you can either boost or become a regular which is difficult as fuck
You don't but getting Regular takes about 17 years, unless you just never shut the fuck up like i do.
is it okay . if i dm you . i want to share my stats with you 😢
yeah sure
I wish there was a way to reset attachments. I sometimes don't want three optics - one works just fine.
Or do
This

I’m used to typically typing multiple messages instead of one anyways, but for once it can benefit me, I’ll have regular soon…. 
Although I don’t necessarily think it has a lot to do with the message count specifically but meh
Nice, challenges aren't tracking
I love when you play solo games and the ai enemies cheat so you lose once and a while
Love getting put into the last 5 seconds of a round

74 votes and 36 comments so far on Reddit
So apparently there's a recoil bug that will make it so vertical recoil stops being applied after about 20 rounds on the AEK. cool.
am i still the only one with the crash issue? my game doesn’t even get passed loading screen even after reinstalling
this also applies for other guns as well.
That's probably the other part they haven't fixed yet and with people starting to notice more.
No. Saika.
yeah. very cool, we're over a year into this game.
so it is a known issue?
I have not had issues with crashing at all with this game actually outside of launch where a case of recursive code hard crashed my xbox and it needed to be restarted.
hm
I was talking about the recoil bug not the crashing sorry.
well it's certainly known now, weather or not it was known before is unknown.
yes. hello.

i am the one with pronouns.

why are you pointing a gun at me, you have pronouns as well.
yes wich are clearly making fun of people like you
uh huh

...Well, anyway.
this game needs to be deleted and remade from scratch
yeah really does, this is stupid that we're over a year into the game and having to deal with stuff like this.
i don't even know how you do this accidentally and have it happen at a different threshold on all the guns
cough cough literally cant even play it
DICE magic
lmao killed this pos 4 times he gets me once and tbags..
it do be like that
Dude people are weird.
5 times
Anyone wanna help me fill this rush xl server? Full xp?
128 rush sucks
36-10..ill take it
making games is hard to begin with, let alone a complicated game like 2042
on top of working with a complicated engine that still seems to be the only engine capable of making a bf title
@next onyx ak still slaps hard..kept farming the same people over and over in that renewal match 
lets not act like we know exactly whats going on and its completely confounding why theres problems with a video game
(not excusing said problems, its just not this complete mystery to how things go wrong)
but like, is it hitting a max recoil value somewhere? why would it be different in ways that seem more tied to mag size than recoil values? why does the aek hit it so fast when it's not that different from other portal guns?
hidden weapon values being added 2 years later?
youre asking questions because you dont know either.. i have no idea as well
Ak does feel nice.
I'm almost done with the rm277.
And the battle pass.
i doubt its as simple as pressing ctrl f, typing "max recoil value" and changing a number
"You are asking questions because you don't know" yes that's generally the reason why people ask questions, Nyphon, thanks for the input.
killing someone + their respawn become with a tasty flaming 40mm 
still infinitely more valuable input than anything youve posted
I've had people spawn in my direct line of fire multiple times.
yeah...try peek shooting me when youre against a wall, dumbass
might want to calm down before you get muted for a week again
Stating the obvious is more valuable input?
i love how if someone has a spawn beacon on a cap point..and they use it, the UI tells you a second a head of time of them spawning so you know when theyre about to pop in
relative to what you post, yes
okay but here's the thing
- Is there actually a "Max Recoil Value"?
- Why does it exist?
- Why is the AEK hitting it so fast?
("max recoil value" being an abstraction for any stupid limit that might be in the game ex. max recoil reset distance accumulated or something)
that's what's fun, there are so many ways it could be messed up and none of them make sense
It doesn't make much sense, and I don't feel like it's unreasonable to ask questions about it since it clearly does not make sense.
i mean.. are we assuming it would make sense to people who havent created a game in the first place?
I mean the problem is weird and the fact that it hasn't been fixed in over a year is also weird. So clearly it doesn't make sense to the people making the game either.
because if it did, then it would either be fixed, or there'd be an explanation for it.
or they just dont care to try to fix it
they dont HAVE to fix it, nor do they HAVE to explain it
Or that, and to be frank it does seem like DICE to look at an issue and be like "eh"
tbf for a casual sandbox shooter that could be a fair response
yea i think its wack that aiming isnt perfect, but at the same time, it is a casual sandbox shooter, thats not exactly necessary
ah yes, a casual sandbox shooter, it's fair to have things that just don't work for some reason.
because what, were you expecting a game that actually works?
the approach youre taking is that if it isnt perfect its broken
and thats just a weird way to go about life
i mean it's clearly not working right and it's involving something that everyone has to interact with all the time, that being recoil
but what is the actual effect that users experience and how often does it occur?
again, its not a binary on or off situation
74 votes and 36 comments so far on Reddit
Well, the effect is that vertical recoil stops being applied, as for how often it occurs, it occurs with every weapon but at different thresholds, which is weird.
yeah
Maybe marginal, but it can lead to inconsistencies
not exactly worth it probably
lets say csgo aiming on a technical level is 100%, lets apply an arbitrary number to 2042 being 70%, 70% doesnt default to "broken" because its NOT 100%
I never said it was broken.
doesnt work is synonymous with broken...
i never said it was broken.
it is on and off, the binary condition is "works as intended" or "does not work as intended"
the game just needs to be written from scratch, but it's not broken
calling the kettle black
the mouse input, for example, does not work as intended
you get kicked for idling in servers, yeah?
yes
yeah
good thing i only called out saying "doesnt work" and not "doesnt work as intended"
thats also assuming we know what the devs intended, they likely just want it working "good enough"
which even that stance is debatable depending on who you ask
irrelevant though
if i intend a car to drive 60 mph, but make a car that only goes 55, it does not work as intended, but the car still definitely works...
i'm sorry i didn't phrase it the way you liked. That being said, let's assume that this is intended. It's a weird behavior to intentionally have, especially when the AEK hits this "Max Recoil Value" so fast compared to other guns.
im sorry you didnt phrase it the way you meant 🤷
anyone with a functioning brain would've taken me saying doesn't work in this scenario as me saying that it doesn't work as intended, the two statements basically mean the same thing given the context. I'm sorry i failed to accommodate for you, Nyphon, i'll try better next time.
Oh my god did they buff the ai? I had to sweat my ASS off this round because of em
Dumped almost 400 kills
so you argue that you didnt say broken because you technically said doesnt work, but then will argue that what you said isnt literal because you actually meant more than what you actually wrote? weird but i guess thats expected
because i didn't say broken.
you quoted that despite nobody but you saying that.
It's not my fault you suddenly can't read context.
what do you mean?
Thought you could, wasn't that a defining feature of the RAM, it having a mobile spawn beacon?
I mean the cav is a mobile mobile spawn beacon
The ram can drop a spawn beacon.
Yes it can, but nobody spawns and hops in
How does a vehicle have any influence if you can’t fill it?
At least the MAV and Cav have forced spawns
that's more a fault of the team, it's not the RAM's fault.
Just curious why that isn’t extended to the Ram
RAM imo is arguably one of the most useful vehicles; when filled, but for whatever reason it’s impossible to fill
Meanwhile you get spawns all day on cav or MAV
Eh.
It's not extended to the RAM because it's supposed to be a more agile vehicle i think? As for why you can't fill it, that's just your squad's fault.
Think of ram like bf5 staghound.
I think of it as silly
Obviously if we can get a nice squad in there, sure we can make it viable
I just don’t think a vehicles viability should be based on having a good squad or team
Because this is BF after all
The stagound is pretty good alone.
In my experience.
The team beacon just allows it to leave a footprint in places and run away.
I can still be useful in a RAM solo, dropping backside caps and all that stuff, but it’s frustrating knowing I have 3 more gunners that aren’t filled
But if I ran the CAV I’m basically assured a full vehicle; not sure why that’s the norm
Because the entire team can spawn on transports
Only your squad can spawn on other vehicles iirc
In any case; my rant for the day isn’t complete without complaining about BF not fixing invisible cap percentage
It’s been a month now
Of this invis cap BS
I’ve complained on every medium, outside of PMing the DICE employees lol
you should send a letter to DICE HQ directly
sure
Surely we can influence the change we need
With your name next to mine, thank you kind person
But Way, thank you
You suggested the Scar when I was but a wee noob
Thank you for that
what paik skin
It’s a little funky sure but it’s really not that bad
Uhhhh hang on I have to figure out how to post it
what's the name of it, i can probably find it
it's probably the event skin
I like it :v
Some of the event skins remind me of Dollface from Twisted Metal
yeah that's a better picture
uhh I don't really have much of an opinion on that, it looks fine.
I don't know why people would be upset about it?
White Face Paint
I thought it was just a mask
I can't tell if it's a mask from these pictures
it looks like a mask.
Looks like some next stage marvel character
Looking how the lips are different from the two pictures I think it's face paint
In the post ironman era theyll make a series from anything
They're giving Paik too many good skins dammit
definitely a mask
I wish we got a leviathan themed skin for zain.
Irish looks like a goober
I mean, these are datamined so they may not be final
they are certainly skins that exist, i don't really have any strong feelings about 'em.
...Wait when's the event lol
lol who knows
Yeah I don't know if the event will come after the next patch or not
I just want the next patch to fix this cap percentage glitch
This is the first AAA studio to completely ignore game killing “glitches”
In my experience
Seriously laugh
That’s okay
These are on the same level as the Liquidators skins from S2
Cod and fortnite never have this shit happen let’s be real
this isn't even my first battlefield-alike to ignore major game breaking glitches
Sad standard
CoD allowed MW22 to happen
gottem
I mean, was it a finished game?
uh..
Did the scoreboard or capture points on dom ever disappear?
whens the next sale
nothing is ever finished
Ranked Play wasn't in on launch, nor was being able to look at your own stats.
don't pay any amount of money for 2042
I mean, game pass exists
get it on game pass or something if you really need to
I wouldn’t listen to vfc, whatever toaster he’s playing on clearly isn’t in any state to be trying to play this game
I play on two separate computers, both of which work completely fine
No offense VFC but you do tend to interpret issues a bit differently than they actually happen to be. Differently is putting it rather lightly
Look at mister money bags with two computers
One of them isn’t mine dw lol
I play on a Computer that isn't exactly well-optimized yet I can play the 64 player version usually quite well
128p sometimes works
read: higher standards. I don't think that's a bad thing, necessarily, especially when they're owned by a company with about 7 billion dollars in revenue as of 2022
like we're talking about a company with a lot of money behind them
and a lot of separate studios lol
I mean higher standards is completely respectable, but don’t you think he takes it a little too far sometimes?
no, not really.
Higher standards, so the game that has fixed most player reported problems since November 2021 and did a 180 with the general stability and functionality of the game is equal to “dont pay any amount of money for it”
I've got a good rig but I'm not gonna let that influence my idea of what's optimised or not.
I just know that some bits of software utilises more resources than other pieces and how it does is a thing..
I’d be more on his side if everything he bitched about wasn’t A) hyperbole B) seemingly only something he’s experiencing
I mean if someone doesn’t think the games worth a dime that’s fine, but let’s not ignore this games general progress
Like I said. Not trying to be disrespectful or anything. But let’s be real
i'm still waiting for the game to launch on the first click and the mouse to not feel like a joystick
it's generally progressed from being a scam to being "okay i guess"
mouse to not feel like a joystick
???????????
For the love of god buy a new mouse PLEASE
I think I know what they're referring about.
This is exactly what I’m talking about lol
About how it's apparently emulated from controller. I actually did bring that up to drunkze and he said that isn't true? But I dunno.
Read self entitled. We are consumers. Decide to buy something or not.
nothing was stopping him from giving his opinion.
I think im just tired of hearing the same three of his worn-out opinions
The game was shit from the get go it was not worth anything I hated the game.
Now the game is actually kinda fun. I wish as much as the next person that the underlying issues were fixed before they moved to new content.
I don't blame people for the sting they suffered, even I went through it.
And them hating the game still.
Like dude I'm with you on that aspect and I wish we weren't fucked either.
play at least one other game, i beg you
I know gecko does that.
I do, as it happens.
dude like, have you found literally anyone else that has this issue?
Been playing this neat little horror game called duskers recently, its quite fun. Got a whole system of pseudocode!
AND!
go into the stream of anyone who plays this game at a high level for a start
dscisiv, enders, whatever
ew why would i watch someone stream
To ask them.
It doesn't use the mouse whatsoever, so you might actually get a fair bit of enjoyment out of it
Try to start BF4
EA App has to update
Battlelog is now stuck trying to close BF4 when it never opened in the first place
UGH
I normally wouldn’t have commented during this but this reminds me of something I saw in general the other night, with someone saying this game had an issue with fire input straight up not working, calling it a persistent issue since launch. It’s blatantly wrong, and it will give people who are looking into the game a TOTALLY fucked up perspective. Just rubs me the wrong way
Not saying your issues don’t exist, they do and should be addressed, but… eeeuhhhfhfhhf
was it about stutter firing because that's been around in some form or another forever
lol the sentinels being in the open
They straight up said when they pressed click to fire it didn’t work, although I’d like to hope that’s what they meant, cause even I dealt with the stutter firing
man has fear of snipers
I haven't experienced the ADS bug for a long time.
this is why I tell people to form their own opinions.
That reminds me.
You can just one tap the sentinels and blow them up
My mate said that regular nvidia reflex works a bit better over boost.
Could you weigh in for me Deco?
the amount of people who will listen to one (1) person say "game bad" and then avoid the game like the plague is just sad
anyways duskers fun
Let the drone tag.
theres a great video essay out there somewhere on it that got me into it years ago
does anyone know what nvidia reflex even does?
I mean, I tried the game during the free weekend on Steam, was an incredibly annoying experience.
Only if the EMP does it maybe
"lowers latency" okay what the fuck are you actually doing to my pc
Bah I looked into it a bit ago. I think it does something in correlation to gpu usage.
reflex is nvidias implementation for something they already had, anti-lag
Don’t question it
Latency tastes good I hear
it will pin your GPU usage to never use more than 95% with a 1 frame input buffer to minimise the possibility of the GPU clogging itself
anywho time to work on my script with a nice margarita
lol
have a good night folks
that's on the driver level*, the game SDK implementation is a bit different
Like I said. My mate mentioned that regular enabled is better over enabled + boost.
Which...
fair enough
I'm willing to give a go.
Peace gecc
+boost caused some strange stuttering i couldn't figure out
Game turns everything to ultra with RT.
99% usage.

it can cause hitching and stuttering issues if the card isnt enough to push through enough frames, but worth it to leave on on most cards
Fans
Hmm. Probably some weird fucky stuff.
Fans go VROOM.
boost will directly overclock the clock speed
so that's why the behaviour changes
and pins it there*
it's just a renamed frame limiter tldr
Oh I see.
When I hear boost you think it's working the extra mile nah.
Oh God. Don't remind me now.
My friend made me go on 1600x1024.
It WAS SO WEIRD.
When I hear boost, I hear things going through a hi-pass filter

Gotta love being killed by the detonating oil storage tanks in breakaway
I hated those damn things in old breakaway BT
Defender first sector relied on them and when they exploded they were like nukes
Wake island bt oh man.
If the defender team was heavily entrenched you could blow them and literally clear it out.
Like i get it, big ass explosion looks fucking sick, but does the map need a WHOLE LINE OF THEM
I had a really bad stalemate as attackers on wake island BT once
Sector artillery spam with defenders eventually clutching the win
this is why i like huge explosions in the background in bf maps, having them in the map can seriously get annoying
Spearhead does it well with the facility detonating at end of round
it's hilarious dont you dare criticise this
Come to think of it i dont think ive ever been killed by the orbital explosion
I can agree, it is hilarious https://streamable.com/3dcm5b
supersonic missile
Anyone ever experience the horror of solo/co-op breakaway breakthrough
I use the mode to grind but id rather eat nails than have to watch all my team sit under the oil rig while trying to capture
I mean maybe its because i play on advanced
But i swear on my son it ages me a thousand years everytime i play that map
I’ll give it a go for my warm up game
The enemy ai never seem to die on the oil rig, on my games they ALL have defibs and constantly revive
Its so asinine
i like the one flag room on the oil rig where defenders spawn inside with you
Last time i played that mode and map against bots i dropped damn near 400 rifle kills and had to remove my shirt mid game because i was sweating so hard, we won with THREE TICKETS LEFT
they were legit spawning before my eyes auto locked onto me
It was nuts
Unless I have a webcam on ( I don't even own one ), then I already play shirtless
The only other map with a more frustrating co-op chokepoint has to be exposure final point
I swear sometimes the bots are john wick and other times they are crayon chefs
I've had a bot slide around a corner and pre-fire me with a 12m Auto when testing Tipping Point on Spearhead
I stood no fucking chance
They use a mix of machine learning and pre programmed strats
Its kinda insane sometimes
Sometimes it feels like the ai team disables spawntimes too
They do cheat occasionally so i honestly would not doubt it
Working with AI to make modes can be a bit weird
Do not get me wrong its great to have bots back in bf, it seriously extends its lifespan
But goddamn bots can be annoying sometimes
Sometimes an AI can actually work it's way to plant an MCOM to a place that I put, and sometimes they just ignore it. https://streamable.com/dud5f6
the bots in the game were made by SEED
I feel like they get more advanced every update
they don't have one strict preplan that they got on through maps, they learn over time
it's simulated based on player interaction mainly from past games
Even on beginner sometimes they turn into monsters randomly
I think the difficulty settings are there to nerf their learning mid game
Advanced they adapt to you on the fly and its bullshit sometimes
Yeah that aligns with what I've picked up from the bots.
Their behaviours update with each update. You can see it in how they move.
they don't learn mid game
I swear on my son they do shit to counter me directly
neural networks update not on the fly but periodically
I think I saw a bot jump slide or something.
They also hear footsteps!
Unlike most players
They actually do hear footsteps?
their decision making, can change mid game, but that's not what learning is bot wise
Yes its so frustrating
Yes, sometimes I try sneaking up on a bot and it just SNAPS to me
they can yeah
