battlefield-2042

[dusk falcon]

its like dice dug their own grave

[next onyx]

So people playing defensively can go "Oh maybe I don't protection" and can focus on other areas.

[dusk falcon]

adding so many explosives

[lilac dust]

They did say in their latest dev corner stream that they want to nerf grenades in the near future

[next onyx]

Zain is pretty up there as well.

[lilac dust]

or future I mean. They didn't say near lol

[dusk falcon]

bro theyll do anything but merf the sph

[next onyx]

Excluding his Xm370 which needs an adjustment, His passive is incredibly useful.

[carmine rover]

zain has the best massive in the game

[lilac linden]

God the XM is crazy

[next onyx]

I haven't use him for a bit though cause Dozer is the only thing keeping me sane.

[carmine rover]

and top 2 main gadget

[dusk falcon]

i can never figure out his gadget

[next onyx]

Think of it like this.

[dusk falcon]

the range finder is stupid

[lilac dust]

It's funny cos it already got nerfed, but it's still OP lol

I suppose it's mere existence whether it gets nerfed or not will always be OP lmao

[next onyx]

You look at an object with hipfire, aim in on that object and it'll give it a reference point to blow up around.

Say ok.

[carmine rover]

the range finder is incredibly simple. just aim it a wall. or a headlglitch they are next to. and shoot at their location

[next onyx]

A cube.

Range finder doesn't matter.

[dusky tulip]

Im playing dozer he gets taken out by the SPH easily

[next onyx]

See cover, blow around it.

[lilac linden]

It's more of an AOE type thing.

[carmine rover]

if they are behind a headglitch. and hiding. aim it at the headglitch. move your mouse a bit upwards. and blow them up

[next onyx]

You aim at the cube with hipfire, ADS and your Xm is locked onto it.

You can shoot around that cube and it'll do damage in that area.

[royal swan]

Looks like Irish is finally getting some changes

In s5

[radiant prism]

Dozers whole gig is being more resistant to explosives

[lilac linden]

What changes?

[next onyx]

With the fire select just readjusting it.

[radiant prism]

He still dies easily, just not as easily as others

[royal swan]

Don't know, all I know it's coming in s5

[next onyx]

If they made dozer actually good for team play I'll be so happy.

[royal swan]

Along with some dozer changes

[next onyx]

Let me extend the shield for my friends please.

[dusk falcon]

also "reworking vehicle loadouts"

let them cook

[radiant prism]

Maybe give the shield a flashbang effect?

[carmine rover]

bring back first week bf2042 dozer

[lilac linden]

KEEP THAT EXTENDO ON ME

[radiant prism]

Or disrupting?

[royal swan]

Huh?

[carmine rover]

360 invincibility

[dusk falcon]

was he that strong? i had a free trial then and didnt even see him much.

[radiant prism]

Hamster ball dozer

[pine roost]

I reckon that’s a greater emphasis on specialising for certain roles, could potentially be the balancing sweep we’ve needed for ages

[lilac linden]

Man's is just in a dome.

[royal swan]

Or just have it protect the back when not having it equipped

[carmine rover]

yeah he was immortal

u pull his shield out. 360 invincibility

[next onyx]

No BFH tortle.

[dusk falcon]

are there some videos of him?

[carmine rover]

maybe

bfh shield is the worst all time

[radiant prism]

What? No?

[royal swan]

"Squad orders"

[carmine rover]

ur getting shot? oh just turn your back at the enemy

[royal swan]

Looks like we are getting some good shit boys

[lilac linden]

Oh lord not that thing

[next onyx]

At launch remember the glitch that was so bad they had to disable his shield, Gecko?

[radiant prism]

Oh

I guess I do remember that

[low timber]

Dozer shield?

[radiant prism]

I didn’t start playing dozer until after that I think

[lilac linden]

Yeah. Was here for playtest and it was crazy.

[royal swan]

Same

[carmine rover]

the first week of launch he was immortal. you can just run around and get dozer bashes and never die

[next onyx]

Yeah that marse.

[dusk falcon]

oh also another thing

i have logged in several times in bf2042 but never got the thick44 card or tag

is there a reason for this?

[next onyx]

Yeah same here. No idea.

[royal swan]

Strange

I have it

And the tag

[carmine rover]

i pleyed beta

pre orderd it

[low timber]

I would call it bad if it was just that it could deflect tank shells

Like they have only disabled two items ever for being broken

Dozer shield and motion sensor

[royal swan]

It should do a pyro reflection and make the tank shell crit and one shot the tank

[lilac dust]

Would be cool if they give us 6 player squads in this squad qol update

[next onyx]

Ultrakill rebound the tank shell with the shield. Instantly destroy the tank in the process.

[low timber]

Meanwhile there’s been OP things in the game plaguing us for months

[next onyx]

They disabled the motion sensor? I forgot.

[radiant prism]

BF but ultrakill mechanics

[low timber]

And they never got the same disabling treatment

[low timber]

Yeah, to see if it was at fault for the server problems

[next onyx]

Oh that makes a bit of sense.

[low timber]

At launch

[next onyx]

With it bouncing around on a 128P server.

That'd cause chaos on their end.

[carmine rover]

wen does next season drop

[dusk falcon]

june most probably

considering the weeks that are left

im so ready for the zavod remaster

best map of bf4

[royal swan]

What week is it today

[dusk falcon]

yeah they showeda concept art of the season 5 map ,which was already said it was a reimagjnation of a bf4 map,and it looked exactly like zavod

[low timber]

Week 9 I think

[royal swan]

5 more weeks

Most likely it's starting on June 1st

[dusk falcon]

https://youtu.be/vpD1oR_yJxA

@fallen wasp good old danny talking about it

[topaz field]

Oh my Irish and dozer improvements 🥵

[carmine rover]

are skins coming to vault weapons?

in may?

[dusky tulip]

Dozer needs a buff, hes wearing the thickest armor in the game and barely resists explosives

[carmine rover]

hes getting a buff

and irish

[dusky tulip]

whats the buff ?

[carmine rover]

dont know

[lilac dust]

Since the RPT got nerfed have ya'll been using a different setup for it?

[carmine rover]

look at this

is the battlefield 2042 dev vod still up? i want to watch the stream

[topaz field]

It's on twitch I gotta watch it myself

[carmine rover]

is this stuff coming out in season 5? and just being revealed in may? or is it coming out in may?

[topaz field]

I wonder if we getting squad contracts

[carmine rover]

oh nvm im stupid

it says coming in season 5

😭

[topaz field]

😭😭😭😭

[pine roost]

Squad management doesn’t bother me since I’m always playing solo :/

[topaz field]

Happen to me too

[carmine rover]

i read something but dont read it

you know how it feel

[topaz field]

No Boris changes 🤣😂

[lilac dust]

You're good. I'm the real idiot. I got a timeout for 10 minutes cos I spelt pedro pascal's name wrong

[carmine rover]

Boris needs a huge buff

let him place not one. not two. THREE turrets down

he’ll still be trash

[pine roost]

Good

[topaz field]

I think he's fine I run him a lot 🙂

[carmine rover]

i lov boris

[topaz field]

All you need is turret, EMP and Javelin,LMG and ranger dog

[carmine rover]

hows my boris?

[topaz field]

Recoilless is pointless

That's a crappy setup unless your playing rush

[carmine rover]

mine?

[topaz field]

Boris isn't be use to push

[carmine rover]

i usually run anti tank mine

[topaz field]

Anti mine and javelin is good

C5 not so good

[carmine rover]

it all comes down to preference and playstyle

[topaz field]

If I'm in the zone I can go like 30-40 kills with Boris

[topaz field]

Yup I ain't mean to knock your load out 🤣

[carmine rover]

its good. i had 52 with boris earlier today

and got outstanding performance

[dapper river]

https://tenor.com/view/here-it-comes-tornado-meme-gif-23054073

[topaz field]

I'm just saying he's supposed to take out tanks

[drowsy shuttle]

but maybe you can lock yourself so nobody can join your squad. i look forward to that... cause even yesterday i dropped kinda behind enemy lines from an heli.. nobody saw me, i put my supressor on and was getting close to the enemies.... getting ready to take like 4 or 5 enemies at least... then all of a sudden some fucking noob on my squad spawn on me.... and 5 seconds after he spawn, from long distance... start shooting with a fucking loud LMG while standing like rambo or something ... they turned around and fucked us both... so yeah.. i wanna be able to go solo and lock the squad party.

[carmine rover]

i use Boris more like a recon. i place turret in overview spots so it can spot and hopefully shoot at enemies

[lilac dust]

That gif is 10% funnier than it already was due to 2042 having tornadoes

[carmine rover]

old man

[dapper river]

I now realize I have made a grave mistake since someone already posted the update news

[lilac dust]

Lmao It's all good. I was first one to it, but doesn't really matter cos people are always gonna find out the news at different times

[topaz field]

What would you like to see buff on Boris @carmine rover ?

[carmine rover]

everything

scrap his passive entirely

[rocky kraken]

what even is his passive

[carmine rover]

give him an entirely new passive

[next onyx]

I'd love for them to make his turret exclusively target vehicles and have tonnes of range and health to boot.

How about to carry extra explosives?

Extra rockets, C4, etc.

[carmine rover]

if ur 3meters within his turret itll perform better

[next onyx]

Like an engineer.

[rocky kraken]

bruh

[carmine rover]

but it doesnt

[rocky kraken]

thats ass

[carmine rover]

its so ass

[rocky kraken]

naw when hes near

the turret get legs

and runs at enemies

like a humanoid

[carmine rover]

give him an entirely new passive

[pine roost]

+1 rocket off spawn sounds nice

[topaz field]

Lol +1 rocket is good imo

[pine roost]

Or something in general to do with the gadget ammo

Makes Crawford the more supportive engineer where Boris is more aggressive and more of a seeker

[topaz field]

Maybe his turret damage increase against vehicles over time?

[carmine rover]

since hes russian his passive should be him taking out a bottle of vodka and drinking it.
it gives a boost to damage dealt and he gains armor

[next onyx]

I was thinking of +2 rockets to be honest.

Or +2 C4's.

[topaz field]

I think rockets would be better for him and buff his turret damage against tanks but slower ROF from turret

[next onyx]

Incendiary round Vulcan to prevent vehicle heals for a second or 2.

[carmine rover]

+2 to all gadgets and throwables

and he’ll still be mid tier

[mild cloud]

Who wanna play bf2042 later

[coral oasis]

Me

On PSN

[mild cloud]

Aii

Add me

[next onyx]

Jeez.

We're only coming up on week 10?

It only feels like yesterday season 4 came out.

OH GOD.

I'll have to DO IT AGAIN.

If there's a sniper I can't tier 1 it in a day.

[sharp marten]

I hope we’re getting a new sniper soon

[still vault]

I don't like new snipers

[carmine rover]

hopefully it one shots

[still vault]

messes up the gameplay

[chilly jacinth]

i want m98b

[carmine rover]

how dos it mess up gameplay 3:

new snipers or just snipers in general?

bcus people want to try it out?

more players use them

[still vault]

When it is introduced there are too many snipers which ruins the flow of the game modes.

[chilly jacinth]

meh its just temporary

[carmine rover]

after a week everyone is going back to rm68 anyway

so its not really something to be annoyed about

[chilly jacinth]

also that

back to mackay rm68 sph spam

[carmine rover]

exactly

[next onyx]

M24, M98b and the TTS XCEED maybe?

Would love to see the first two.

[sharp marten]

What’s the TTS XCEED?

Squad management and orders good Lordy lord I hope we get air strikes

[next onyx]

It's like a bullpup sniper.

Think of the Dsr 1 but no frontal mag.

Like of course it's a bullpup sniper.
What's next, is Alex gonna add a bullpup SMG?

[sharp marten]

You remember that sniper from mw2 that was made almost out of wood and looked like a box

[next onyx]

WA2000.

[ivory canopy]

I want M95 from BC2

[sharp marten]

Yeah that

I fucking loved that thing

[next onyx]

That would be interesting.

[ivory canopy]

I am within 100 kills of getting T1 on MCS.

[next onyx]

A semi auto high powered rifle.

[ivory canopy]

and after using it extensively, I can safely conclude

It is far and away the worst primary weapon in the game

[next onyx]

How's your mental sanity.

[ivory canopy]

Really bad

[chilly jacinth]

you shouldve gotten it t1 sooner

[ivory canopy]

True

[chilly jacinth]

before the meta went to absolute shit

[sharp marten]

@ Alex please

[ivory canopy]

Now that I'm within 100 kills that means I will automatically somehow play like utter trash and get literally 1 MCS kill per match

[next onyx]

You can do it!

[ivory canopy]

Which is plausible, knowing my luck and knowing how bad the gun actually is

[sharp marten]

You got this homie

[ivory canopy]

mb I'll run slugs

idk

[chilly jacinth]

no

its bad

like really bad

[royal swan]

When are we going to get a trailer for season 5, will that be in the last two weeks of season 4

[ivory canopy]

Can't be worse than any other options

[chilly jacinth]

its borderline unusable

[royal swan]

Oh it is

Slugs are just upsetting

[chilly jacinth]

youre better off using any of the other options

[sharp marten]

How many weeks we got left homie?

[royal swan]

5

[ivory canopy]

Well, the MCS is unusable to begin with so

[sharp marten]

Damn times flys

[chilly jacinth]

slugs aint gonna make it better

[royal swan]

Expect the season to drop June 1st

Which is on a Tuesday

Which is 6 weeks from now

[ivory canopy]

I'm aware of that

The gun is utterly useless at point blank with any loads so fuck it.

[chilly jacinth]

slugs wont oneshot headshot up close btw

which the other loads can

[ivory canopy]

I've done it personally just this round

[royal swan]

The super is better than the mcs and it makes me mad

[ivory canopy]

There isn't a primary weapon worse than the MCS

[royal swan]

Well, we do have some vault weapons

[chilly jacinth]

theyre still better than it

[ivory canopy]

I'll take literally any vault weapon over the MCS

Even the pistols

[ebon pilot]

M1911?

[ivory canopy]

Yes

[carmine rover]

imagine we get the china lake

in season 5

grenade launcher sidearm

[ivory canopy]

At least the M1911 is consistent. The MCS in BF2042 is the antithesis of consistency

Yeah you're right. Slugs are equally as bad, largely because the MCS lacks any optic that can take remote advantage of its long range. The TV 2x is a garbage optic.

But all due respect, it's as bad an option as any

I guess it gets points from me for being at least consistent

But I have the M44 for beyond 20m shots

[silver lantern]

Man I hope they add more weather events

Would be cool if we hear the emergency alert system sound instead of Mackay yelling BAD WEATHER INCOMING

[ivory canopy]

None of the maps take place in the U.S. though

But I can kinda see your point

unique weather alert sirens to fit the area

[sharp marten]

Wish we could hear INCOMING INCOMING INCOMING while a air raid siren goes off during a air strike

Actually with the reworking vehicle load ours I’m hoping we get more munitions and shit with it

[carmine rover]

my personal best longest kill

is this good?

[white geyser]

I really want a non lock-on missile for the AA wildcat before they finish season 5

[royal swan]

And I want a placable 50mm mortar

[hardy crest]

and i want a ribbon rework to be like old battlefields

where u can get many ribbons as long as u are playing

not just only ribbon 1 2 3 , then thats it 1

[royal swan]

But we can't all have nice things

At least we are getting a squad rework

[hasty hound]

I don’t think that’s happening

[sharp marten]

Yeah I’d say that’s pretty good

[ivory canopy]

Mastery 38 with MCS

Good Lord this is going slow

[novel salmon]

Is there a point of getting the premium edition ?

If I already own the battle pass

[viscid hearth]

RM68 nerf when?

[still vault]

Hopefully soon, I've T1ed it now

[viscid hearth]

Haha

[still vault]

[viscid hearth]

I just fell in love with the AEK again… can’t wait for custom attachments

[ivory canopy]

Hopefully they don't nerf it to uselessness

Then again it could never be worse than what I'm trying to T1

[viscid hearth]

Which is?

[ivory canopy]

MCS-880

[viscid hearth]

Friday night battlefield was fun again! Highest killcount: 87 as infantry

[ocean atlas]

guys how tf do i switch to canted iron sights

oh its f nvm

[patent path]

gamer moment

is this intended?

[carmine rover]

what is that

[patent path]

there are two lines on the glass

[carmine rover]

probly a visual bug

[ivory canopy]

39.13

[lean mulch]

please add a server browser in game

[rustic mango]

I have ea play pro 😎

[ivory canopy]

within a single digit

[bitter mulch]

At work, would Love to Play right now 😅

Discarded update is awesome

Really like the map

[sick eagle]

i like the damn type 88

why is manifest referred to as "long haul" on the auto matchmaking

[keen shoal]

Hey Gamers!!!!

LETS GO GAMERS!!!!

[sick eagle]

no

[ivory canopy]

It's finally over.

The worst gun in BF2042, and I have the T1 badge for it

[glad mulch]

There is definitely a newly implemented algorithm for matchmaking, right?

[gilded stag]

what did it cost?

[ivory canopy]

my sanity

Next gun: the PP2k

From memory it's pretty good

[mental delta]

There's a cobrasight on AM40 ?

[patent path]

it comes with the skin

it's the OKP-7

[mental delta]

Ha didn't know that

[patent path]

yeah, it's the newest bundle in the store

[mental delta]

Some of the bundles are good

But I won't buy any

[patent path]

yup, most of the epic and legendary skins are pretty

I just have the free boins from the bp lol

[mental delta]

I bought year 1 so I got 3000 but I want to buy year 2 BPs for free

[sick eagle]

theres a kobra on the ac9

[mental delta]

Where does it come from lol ?

[sick eagle]

pretty sure its from bf3

they made vault attachments

for 2042

[patent path]

ah yeah, this one is not a kobra sight, it's an Isreali sight, called the Meprolight M21

[mental delta]

Really ? I didn't know that

[mental delta]

I had never seen it before ngl

[patent path]

It used to be the default sight on the IDF's MTAR

[sick eagle]

vault sights are new

[patent path]

https://www.meprolight.com/product/mepro-m21/

[sick eagle]

why is fnb getting quite boring

[torpid wadi]

Well that’s new to me

[next sorrel]

fnb?

[gilded stag]

friday night battlefield

[next sorrel]

ah

what makes friday night battlefield different from normal battlefield?

or is it just a gamenight

[torpid wadi]

The gals and pals get together to have a bad time

[ebon pilot]

official custom gamemode game night

[gilded stag]

isn't that just normal battlefield?

[torpid wadi]

Well pretty much, but now you can do that with us

[arctic grove]

BUT

Friday night bf obliteration when

[dusky tulip]

the Russian announcer "Chawwie Wan is Undar Seej"

Dozer's shield has so many weaknesses, if the opponent is at an angle like slightly above youre level the bullets kill u, or slighly to your right or left.

it works mainly if blocking a straight line ahead

[solemn shore]

you can just shoot falk's stim pistol at it

unless they fixed that

[dusky tulip]

idk but Dozer needs buffs like hes cool but not so practical

[sonic gulch]

Will the 8v8 mode ever come back fully it was compy

[solemn shore]

not getting owned by 30/50mm sph zain 40mm gl etc is pretty nice idk about that

[dusky tulip]

I got 2 costumes out of that but both mediocre and for specialists I dont use

[royal swan]

I really hope the squad rework gives squad point rewards like a air strike

More reasons to help your squad

Yeah looking back, bfv squad system greatly improved teamwork amongst squads

[dusky tulip]

The squad stuff might suck because when like 2 squad full of hackers or high levels joins on one side the battle is basically over and people forfeit the game.

[sonic gulch]

the rewards is cool just need a more competitive mode or some ranked or some lol

[dusky tulip]

I don't miss that garbage in Bf5 when its too unbalanced

[royal swan]

From the leak we got there was squad missions

Instead of points

Which gives rewards like some exclusive weapons (minigun, nade launcher, 50 cal Barret, and a air strike)

I think moving it from the point system to a mission system balances it enough

[dusky tulip]

I miss that stuff like when a squad is doing well the leader can launch a missile barrage

like BF 5

[royal swan]

Giving rewards to good squads is a very needed function

[dusky tulip]

but I really like how the game shuffles the players between each match and not keep all the good ones on one side where the game just sucks

[hallow sierra]

now imagine that in 2042

[dusky tulip]

It would be nice to see what creative stuff will take place like a Nuke would super cool

[royal swan]

The downside is the amount of boring crybabies that appear who don't like getting killed by anything other than bullets

[dusky tulip]

The train or the Baloon in BF1 was also a good idea to give the losing team some last minute hope. A thing like that I think is super cool

[feral quest]

I do like the "final hold" kinda mechanic

[royal swan]

And giving the losing team special classes when those vehicles can't spawn due to the map

There needs to be more of these rewards

For good players to keep going

And for losing players a better chance

Really close to t2 the defibs

Who else has t1 or t2 the defibs

[copper ice]

improvements to dozer and irish

if they buff irish i will cry

are they seriously going to leave boris just untouched

the other changes look very positive though

[royal swan]

I will agree Irish has gotten out of hand

[copper ice]

exciting

if by "improvement" they mean "nerf"

then it will be a great change

[royal swan]

I'm more stoked for squad rework

[copper ice]

I really really hope they can pull that together

[royal swan]

And I hope to god they give rewards for good teamwork with squads

[copper ice]

That was a big part of bfv feeling good

[royal swan]

Bfv squad system was magical

People found the shit annoying as they got their asses beaten by good squads but it did motivate a lot of people for teamwork

I hope the vehicle loadout changes are big

The amount of upgrades for vehicles were lame and little in numbers

[dusky tulip]

I hope the game gets better at combating cheaters. Squads are ok.

[tardy tree]

i wish the gunplay in 2042 was like bfv

it would be perfect

the one thing i hope they keep from 2042 in the next installment is definitely the tornados

and weather in general

[rocky kraken]

animation rework

[meager girder]

yeah but the fact is 2042 would need better performance anyway

2042 still has cringe input delay on console. Adding mechanics reworks won’t do much the game is basically running on PC players

[rocky kraken]

idk man

i played on xbox and it ran smoother than my pc

[meager girder]

Ironically bf2042 is a lot worse because of its performance

It’s not the graphics

[rocky kraken]

pc optimization is worse

[meager girder]

It’s just the input delay

It’s awful compared to console standard shooters

Like it’s like you’re underwater

The fact is, servers die and lobbies are sweatier when only PC players play

And then YouTubers don’t make edits or sick clips because they can’t farm bots

[gritty tapir]

why arent there more maps for all out superiority, kinda wack

[meager girder]

Bruh

is that suez?

[carmine rover]

yeah

[meager girder]

Tuff

[carmine rover]

y u sayin bruh

[meager girder]

914

[carmine rover]

yeah … 😔

[meager girder]

Lost out on a bot farming map

Tuff g

[carmine rover]

i was underground for a few seconds

[arctic grove]

another day of EA taking another L with a new game

[meager girder]

yeah

but it was about time

We should actually be grateful because it’s quite clear EA and Dice were quite bloated

Basic functions in BFV non existent and cringe development

The failure of BF+ big tech layoffs was the only way BF and any other EA game could have been purified of corporate shills

It’s about time the most experienced, efficient, and talented devs led the way tired asf of devs who fix stuff that’s not broke

[remote kiln]

??

the DICE team werent even impacted by them lol

they were replaced before EA did layoffs

[meager girder]

Point still stands

[remote kiln]

you dont make sense

[meager girder]

But it also stands that the labor market is more saturated with talent than it’s ever been

[arctic grove]

i was actually talking about jedi

[remote kiln]

what youre talking about, was made by DICE management

they werent developer decisions

[meager girder]

nah it’s just 1 example

Many mistakes made

[remote kiln]

its a pretty terrible example

[meager girder]

Through and through engineering failure

[karmic egret]

found a reshading mod for 2042, the game looks 100% better (note installing mods comes with a risk of account banning)

[meager girder]

hopefully dice will pick up some senior engineers for cheap now that the market supply is high

[remote kiln]

lol

they definitely wont

[meager girder]

Gotta have hope

[remote kiln]

if you think SE engineers sign on for cheap, youre naive

[tardy tree]

screenshots?

im curious

[meager girder]

It’s actually true

[karmic egret]

havent installed it yet

im gonna give it a go

[meager girder]

I’ve seen tons of videos and postings talking about SE’s and JEs being undercompensated because big tech KNOWS that JE’s and SE’s are used to a certain lifestyle

Behavioral economics go crazy

[remote kiln]

wow congrats my guy

you seen some postings on the internet it must be true

[meager girder]

That’s how it be

[remote kiln]

you dont know what youre talking about and thats pretty clear

[meager girder]

I mean is it a surprise ?

Wow Americans hate changing their lifestyle

🤯

[ebon pilot]

"I watched a bunch of vids on the internet"
vs
"I work in the industry"
Who wins?

[remote kiln]

^^

lmao

[meager girder]

not even an American thing that’s just universal

[tardy tree]

you are speaking out of your asshole tbh

[meager girder]

nobody wants to be in the money crunch

[meager girder]

Nah g

[remote kiln]

no my guy you just cant understand the concept that of the entire layoffs for FAANG, it totalled 250k, there are 2 million active postings as we speak

thats a factor of 1:10 for hiring managers

as in, do some basic research

[tardy tree]

which one is reshade on

[remote kiln]

the second looks oversaturated tbh

[karmic egret]

second one

[remote kiln]

the toning for the shadow is way too dark

[tardy tree]

idk which one looks better

can you find one of a large environment with just the reshade setting on?

[tardy tree]

it looks pretty good

[karmic egret]

Dice is probably breathing down my neck

[tardy tree]

iddk why a reshade would make your account go stinky

thats pretty lame tbh

[remote kiln]

they dont allow third party modifications period, but i doubt theyll do anything

unless theres some clear advantage youre given

[karmic egret]

i mean i mod battlefield 1

[tardy tree]

mel gibson

[karmic egret]

this is my favourite

i want to add this type of opening screen to 2042

[arctic grove]

Okay now make everyone generic soldiers and 2042 is good

But yeah 2042 is super good right now

Aside from, gun play?

I don’t know for some reason it feels kinda floaty

[carmine rover]

level 150

yeyy

[brave merlin]

Is the fly high recon background still bugged out for anyone else?

[rocky kraken]

update hazard zone

:0-

gunplay is too easy

they need to add another skill layer on the game

its hard to play for more than an hour

[fresh lintel]

So I used the Brawlers 25MM APDS or whatever its called

That thing is the scariest gun I have used. We were being chased by an Apache and it went down in a couple shots

And i'm a firm believer that BF3 was the best skill ceiling game even for console play.

[gritty tapir]

what will it take to get a permanent rush xl

[slender isle]

Bro I hate having cold hands. Aim is all over the damn place

[slender isle]

Technically, level 250

[carmine rover]

251

[slender isle]

or 249 sorry

[carmine rover]

249?

idunno lol

[slender isle]

wrong way. you get S001 at 100

[carmine rover]

ah ohkay

[slender isle]

so if you gotta take the level back 1

[gritty tapir]

we should get the 105mm gun on the cav

[fresh lintel]

I think more guns need to be like the 25mm on the Brawler

[gritty tapir]

trying to unlock the 25mm so i can try it out in all out superiority

[fresh lintel]

It fucks.

You know those stupid mine laying vehicles?

Kills em in 6 shots or so.

You have 8.

Apaches? Within 8 shots.

[gritty tapir]

i need it

taking down those pesky nightbirds are such fun

[fresh lintel]

I didnt count how many shots it killed a stealth but im convinced its two shots

Maaaybe 4.

[arctic grove]

How many maps does 2042 have

[tardy tree]

like 10 or something

[fresh lintel]

I wanna say 8 Base game, and then a few maps from previous titles

[arctic grove]

Gotcha

I’m just gonna assume they are just going to rework what is left for a smaller pool but higher quality

Hopefully

I have heard that some of the launch maps were really bad

[remote kiln]

not anymore

they were all except hourglass which is next season reworked

[arctic grove]

And they already announced another year of seasons?

[remote kiln]

not officially

there's been leaks of a year 2 pass, nothing confirmed though

[arctic grove]

Ah

Hope they pull another bfv

[rich elbow]

hello

[remote kiln]

hi gav

[arctic grove]

Honestly my main issues is a lack of diverse modes and the, weird feeling gunplay

Kinda floaty

[karmic egret]

GAV :D

[arctic grove]

Than again it could be my fov

I don’t know if I messed with it or not

[rich elbow]

Wider FOV always makes gun play feel different for me, in any shooter

[karmic egret]

i need to ask a question regarding scoreboard UI, in previous game there was an individual colour for the main player like orange in battlefield 1, currently all players in my sqaud are highlighted green and when i go to check the score board i end up looking at a squad mate instead of myself its very disorientating can you add a scoreboard colour for the player independent of the squad colour

[arctic grove]

But yeah who would’ve thought a years worth of new Guns and adding classes again would make the game good

Or at least in a state where it doesn’t feel like you are playing a worse version of the previous one

[rich elbow]

I’ll try to remember this for next week 😅

[jade stratus]

Wider fov makes it feel faster to me

[lavish stag]

Alo

[karmic egret]

thanks gav really appreciate it :D

[jade stratus]

Like that’s what i did in Titanfall

Set it to like 120 and see how it went

[low timber]

I have the same problem with the minimap when surrounded by lot of blue Doritos so the only green one doesn’t register as me at first.

[jade stratus]

Saaaame

[lavish stag]

Bro I want a war pegion type mode sooo badly

[jade stratus]

It was fun but honestly nobody really played it

[karmic egret]

something like this is what im talking about gav

[rich elbow]

It’s a good point I mean if you want to find yourself immediately at a glance maybe there should be an distinct colour for the player

[carmine rover]

hey gav!

[rich elbow]

I’ll bring it up at least

[jade stratus]

Isn’t there just a little arrow or something?

[arctic grove]

I can honestly see 2042 ending with grace if they can iron out the maps, characters and feel out. Here’s too hoping they actually keep at this instead of just running with a ea shaped dust cloud near it

[lavish stag]

People still playing it in bf1. But when it's on weekly rotations or favorites then it really active

[jade stratus]

Yeah

[rich elbow]

It’s 3AM and I’m not at a PC so it’ll be up to you fine folks to confirm haha

[jade stratus]

Hardcore servers are goated tho

[carmine rover]

not gaming at 3am? 😨😨

[karmic egret]

gav you need some sleep

[rich elbow]

Yes must sleep

[lavish stag]

They were my jam

[rich elbow]

[carmine rover]

need this emote. but instead its penguin

[lavish stag]

9 pm here no time to sleep for us

[jade stratus]

I’m rewatching clips and it seems like even in-game there really ain’t any distinction

[karmic egret]

its 11am here in QLD australia

[hallow sierra]

its crazy how every season theres a op weapon

[arctic grove]

Makes sense

[karmic egret]

S3 weapons were pretty balanced

[arctic grove]

Make the new gun op than nerf it mid way

Pretty common for updates tbh

Granted it’s bf and dice is loosy goosy with balance

[jade stratus]

Yeah there isn’t even much distinction ingame

Ah shoot no pictures

[hallow sierra]

first was the bsv, avancys, railgun(if u know how to use it), and now the rm68

[karmic egret]

i tend to fuck up spelling sweden

i mainly spell it as sweeden

[rich elbow]

sweeden

[karmic egret]

because my teachers always told me to sound out my words, so i spelt rough as ruff

[rich elbow]

oh no what have you done to my dyslexia

[karmic egret]

i failed spelling tests because of this

[rich elbow]

scool

fayeld

[karmic egret]

i dont have dyslexia, but being autistic it gets annoying

gav is speaking engrish

whensday

[ebon pilot]

is this why you became a UI dev

[rich elbow]

[karmic egret]

jesus you didnt have to kill him like that

you just straight up violated the geneva convention

[rich elbow]

who do u think puts the text in the UI

[karmic egret]

idk please enlighten me

[ebon pilot]

the intern

[rich elbow]

[ebon pilot]

gav the cool senior dev designs everything and does all the complicated work and then the intern does the boring stuff

the way nature intended

[robust vapor]

gav grenade for season 5

[rich elbow]

I would like to flip that around

[karmic egret]

id like to visit the DICE studio just to see how the battlefield games are made

[robust vapor]

bigger explosion radius + lesser fuse time

[karmic egret]

it would be so cool seeing how devs do all the modeling, animation and sound design ect

[robust vapor]

oh you mean ptsd office

cause all the sounds

[karmic egret]

it's on the bucket list

[robust vapor]

reverberating around

[ebon pilot]

and then leak all of it

[robust vapor]

boom boom and BIG BOOM

[karmic egret]

i would probably be under an NDA

[ebon pilot]

when has that ever stopped anyone

[karmic egret]

and if i break it gav would come around and tie up some loose ends

[rich elbow]

You should ask the community team to see if they’d be interested in doing some dev log videos or something. Maybe they’d be up to direct some things focused around how devs make certain things. Sound design for sure is super interesting on BF

[royal swan]

That would be lovely

[karmic egret]

I can send some audio on some rifles i own such as loading and round ejection

they are bolt action

give it some extra realisim

[rich elbow]

Australia office when

[karmic egret]

there should be a map set in australia, but for the love of god DONT SET IT IN THE OUTBACK

im sick of australian maps in video games being set in the outback

[ebon pilot]

Singapore is close enough

[robust vapor]

Roo office

featuring Way

[karmic egret]

there is more to australia than the outback

[robust vapor]

and his kins

[rich elbow]

Bondai it is

[karmic egret]

you could do the glass house mountains, the daintree rainforrest, the atherton tablelands, snowy mountains, vineyards and hills of mudgee

[royal swan]

How about some woodland maps that aren't made up of pine trees

[copper fulcrum]

How about some wood?

[karmic egret]

eucalyptus it is

[copper fulcrum]

Hide a koala somewhere just sleeping

[ebon pilot]

red wood trees

[frozen gazelle]

I really hate the random persistent data issues
Every attempt I get either this error code 15:1305p:1300p:1301p:-7a or
15:600p:-7a
It was effecting the divison 2 but after I changed dns it fixed it for that game call of duty has no issue I'm confused af 😐 just wanted to suffer some FNB

[royal swan]

I have a joke for that tree but I don't think it will slide

[copper fulcrum]

I don't think the tree will slide either

[karmic egret]

like the penguins on breakaway

[copper fulcrum]

Koala-based Easter Egg

[royal swan]

Walnut trees would do just fine

[robust vapor]

Drop bear

[royal swan]

Or weeping willow

[robust vapor]

camp under a tree and you will die to an animal

[copper fulcrum]

Make it so I have to pet my gun to reload it

[royal swan]

Cypress trees

[karmic egret]

i would apply for that position so hard

[copper fulcrum]

Oh I thought he was talking about maps for a second lol

[upbeat sand]

POV all australian stuff in media is just in South australia and NT

no camberra

no sydney

no melbourne its obvously just an endless desert with a big rock that people worship

[cursive ermine]

Anyone wanna be medic buddies?

[fresh lintel]

Tfw the only Canadian map isnt nothing but snow

[dusky tulip]

How does this game run on base PS4 and Xbox ? on my ps4pro it looks ugly and slow.

actually looks fine but takes forever to load so it looks ugly just for a bit while the game loads the soldiers and stuff

[idle lion]

This. Make it in the middle of Nth Sydney

[fresh lintel]

On Xbox one it runs fine. It has its moments.

When you start a match theres a good chance you'll get N64/Playstation 1 player models. Which it takes a minute or so to correct itself.

Or you'll get funky graphics and nothing will render for a few minutes.

But it runs fine once everything loads properly. Maybe a rare frame drop. Or crash.

[jade barn]

my wr dropped to 68% after connecting to 2 lost games in a row xd

[fresh lintel]

I lowkey wish backcapping was just.. Non existent.

[edgy oriole]

its called defense

[fresh lintel]

All it takes is one squad to decide to camp at a base flag. And then it snowballs into a cat and mouse chase.

Or turns into one teams vehicles being unable to make it to the front. Because guess whos javving the tank

And yeah let me be the only person to run all the way back to A point just to kill 4 people. Run all the way back to the front only to find the same 4 people back at A.

Because they either flew a jet there and spawned ontop of the one guy. Or had a hidden recon spawn thing near A.

[hasty hound]

And of course there’s no one on PlayStation

Why is the game so dead with crossplay off?

[kindred flint]

losing by over 500..its like people dont even know what capping or defending is

[fresh lintel]

Two of the matches in Friday night have literally been my team losing with 0 while the enemy has 700+

And its literally because one squad just booking it to base flags and capturing their way back to the front.

Honestly just makes for a shit experience.

[lean spire]

whats different about the friday night bf mode?

[fresh lintel]

You move faster

[lean spire]

or is it just conquest

ah ok

[fresh lintel]

I think spawns are shorter too

[hasty hound]

How do I check the scoreboard?

[arctic grove]

hold the view button (left to touch pad on ps or the xbox button)

[short mural]

is anyone else getting kicked cause of easy anti cheat policy violation

[fresh lintel]

Maybe you should stop cheating 😤😤😤

[short mural]

lmaoo

[fresh lintel]

But no, i'm on xbox so i dont get that but I imagine its a program being falsely flagged

[short mural]

see my struggles were so simple on xbox man 😩 this pc shit aint it sometimes

[sharp marten]

Bro S5 is gonna fricken huge

[hasty hound]

This game sucks sometimes

[short mural]

fr cause i cant even play cause they think im cheatin

[hasty hound]

Well, that’s your problem

[fresh lintel]

You're just too good lmao

[dusky tulip]

Yes I noticed the same on Ps4pro it takes a while to load but then its fine

I guess Im just impatient

[fresh lintel]

Yeah when it comes to loadtimes i'm used to it. I played Planetside 2 with a shitty computer. And that game had rendering issues too if you had a shit CPU

[short mural]

bro i barely had any kills when it kicked me

[fresh lintel]

As in enemies didnt load in. And could kill you. But since you cant see them you cant hurt them

[dusky tulip]

Initially it looks like stick figures or just basic soldier models but like a minute in it works ok

This game is demanding on PC I heard I am just surprised the Ps4 a 10 year old hardware can run it

I havent tried it on my PC because my CPU sucks bad I know its gonna be a mess

[slender isle]

I think it's crazy this game is able to run on base old gen

[fresh lintel]

Mhm mhm. I'm fine with it, i'd rather play the game than be like "OH MER GERSH BAD GRAFFICS AND MODELS FOR 30 SECONDS????"

Its why when I get a good PC i'm not going to lust for 144 solid and die when it drops to 143 lmao

[remote kiln]

when a game is reduced to blobs of paint, it can run on anything

[copper fulcrum]

Just look at Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4

[fresh lintel]

Too be fair it doesnt seem like its more demanding than BF1.

[fresh lintel]

Which is still graphical eyecandy

[slender isle]

Well bf1 does have like lower quality everything. but is designed specifically to use last gen to it's brink

my base xbox could never run it properly lmao

[dusky tulip]

but even with Blobs of paint the amount of soldiers moving and doing things was a lot for my PC but a ps4 can handle 64 players ?!

[fresh lintel]

God, i couldnt drive vehicles becausw everything rendered late. So chances are i'd be in a vehicle and not know it

[dusky tulip]

my PC has an old CPU though

[fresh lintel]

Cyberpunk running on last gen is a miracle and i'm happy for it. Just Phantom isnt getting last gen support.

[dusky tulip]

I tried cyberpunk back when it was broken and lost all interest

[slender isle]

I've heard it's due to them increasing the population a ton. As in NPC crowds and all that

[slender isle]

Your PC might not run it lmao

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah if your PC can't run 2042 with 64 players, it can't run Cyberpunk

You still need a rather beefy computer to run Cyberpunk

[dusky tulip]

lol I know it wont run it smoothly

like 15 fps maybe

Half cinematic

[copper fulcrum]

Remember when that's all you needed back in the day?

[remote kiln]

well yeah, your pc isn't the console build so it's a false comparison lol

[fresh lintel]

Also fuck I pray S5 has some good rebalancing. I'm done with the DM7 being spammed and winning engagements

[dusky tulip]

yeah I got an intel 5 , like 4th gen lol and the ram is ddr3 12gig, and a gtx1080, I think the GPU can handle BF2042 but not the cpu

[remote kiln]

you'll be lucky if the 1080 can "handle" the game

minimum settings maybe

[dusky tulip]

I am surprised people say a gtx1080 cant handle the game, but its only 1080p

like Im not in 1440 or 4k

[remote kiln]

doesn't matter if it's 1080p, it's a 8 year old card

[ebon pilot]

but the DM7 sucks

[remote kiln]

don't expect adequate performance from a nearly decade old GPU

a 1080p card nowadays is a 3070/3080, so your chances aren't great

[drowsy shuttle]

what? dm7 kinda sucks...

[dusky tulip]

yeah Ill just keep playing this game on the ps4pro and ps5 for now. I dont think Im investing ina PC anytime soon.

[drowsy shuttle]

also.. S5 most likely will introduce us a brand new broken and OP weapon

[arctic grove]

Still can’t believe thick is gone

[dusky tulip]

I thought these new cards crunch 1440p - 4k nowadays

[remote kiln]

definitely not lol

[dusky tulip]

I havent got one so I woudlnt know

[remote kiln]

you are severely underestimating the hardware requirements

[torpid falcon]

3070/3080 is a 1440p capable card, wouldn't put it at 1080p

[fresh lintel]

DM7 is easily spammable and does too much damage for its RoF

[remote kiln]

the 3070 runs out of VRAM

the 3080, barely has enough for 1440p

[torpid falcon]

I run a 3080 and have no issues at ultra settings with good framerate at 1440p

[dusky tulip]

Newer titles are very demanding

[remote kiln]

yeah cause you're running 2042 lol

[torpid falcon]

Dunno what 3080 you got but I run Ultra and get over 100 frames on other games

[fresh lintel]

3 body shots to kill at important ranges is quite too good for a semi

[arctic grove]

More like poorly optimized

[remote kiln]

there is no poor optimisation

[arctic grove]

Pc games major issues are mostly terrible optimization

[remote kiln]

the next gen consoles use 16GB of VRAM, that becomes the new target

times move on, gamers do to

[drowsy shuttle]

it has is moments, sometimes feels good, most of the times sucks... sometimes you melt someone that you don't even comprehend how you did it... other times you question "where the fuck my bullets go?!"

[arctic grove]

Say that again and look at Jedi survivors

Or god of war

[remote kiln]

that's a stupid comparison

[torpid falcon]

Still though, the 3080 is still a very capable 1440p card

[arctic grove]

Or last of us

Or any pc port from ps4

[remote kiln]

god of war ran fine, the other 2 didnt

[arctic grove]

Oh wow

One game

Out of how many?

5

[remote kiln]

forespoken? Forza 5? did you miss half the games that launched in the last 2 years?

[fresh lintel]

I feel like thats just a 2042 thing of "Where did my bullets go" because even with the SFAR i'm noticing similar issues from the AC42.

Like you're actively punished for ADS movement outside of the base disadvantage of slower movement.

[drowsy shuttle]

im playing 1440p with a 2070 super gpu... average 110 fps (with DLSS quality on)

[remote kiln]

stop cherry picking dude

you just look stupid

[torpid falcon]

Haha exactly. Suggesting a 3080 can not handle 1440p has got the be the stupidest comment I have witnessed this year

Or even a 3070

I've had both cards at 1440p and never struggled with Ultra, that includes on newer titled games released in 2022/2023

[arctic grove]

Name recent pc games that didn’t have any issues vs ones that did

One is going to be much larger

Games are now designed for the consoles first and pcs second

Mostly aaa

[remote kiln]

no dude

that's always been the case

[torpid falcon]

How does the RM68 compare to the SFAR

[arctic grove]

No

[remote kiln]

lol

[torpid falcon]

?

[arctic grove]

It’s a recent thing

[ebon pilot]

rm68 wins

[arctic grove]

Xbox to ps4 gen it wasn’t this bad

[remote kiln]

no? are you acting as if games were not developed for the consoles first in prior generations?

you can't be this myopic

[torpid falcon]

Thank you!

[arctic grove]

They aren’t

Quite literally they weren’t

[drowsy shuttle]

better.

rm68 is the currently broken weapon in the game.

i think im going to tatoo rm68 on my butt cheeks

[rustic mango]

Hello

[remote kiln]

really please explain the last few years of fucked PC ports which came from console

[torpid falcon]

Haha love it!

[remote kiln]

because you are living in a different dimension

[arctic grove]

You really want every single example of out 2 years

[remote kiln]

no, 6 to 10 years dude

it's not a new thing

[dusky tulip]

I know the Rm68 is the best but to me its lame.

[remote kiln]

stop pretending it is

[arctic grove]

I said recent

Dummy

[remote kiln]

I think you need to go look at a history book

[dusky tulip]

I hate using something everyone and their mothers are using like the rm68

[arctic grove]

Literally ps5

[arctic grove]

I said games now

Now for ever

[remote kiln]

doesn't matter if you said games now dude

[arctic grove]

Yes it does

[drowsy shuttle]

i don't use it anymore.

i stopped using the BSV when was totally broken for the same reason. was boring and cheesy af

[remote kiln]

??

[arctic grove]

I’m specifying a time frame

[remote kiln]

is your word gospel?

[arctic grove]

Not all

You said all

I said a time period

[torpid falcon]

Yes, his words are gospel

[remote kiln]

[dusky tulip]

The BSV is balanced now and is cool imo but I dont use it all the time, I get sick of a weapon fairly quickly

[copper ice]

its still one of the best guns in the game

[drowsy shuttle]

you should've seen when it was added to the game lol

now its more balanced.. but still one of the best weapons in the game

but its not broken anymore

[remote kiln]

meh it's fine, I suppose where it is

[drowsy shuttle]

i agree BSV is fine now

[remote kiln]

beats getting 2 shot from anywhere on the map

[dusky tulip]

I heard it was broken. but now the BSV doesnt have a large magazine or that long reach, its kinda good but not amazing good

[copper ice]

its got pretty damn long reach

[remote kiln]

the magazine wasn't what made it busted

[copper ice]

I'd put it in top 5 guns in the game

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah

[remote kiln]

it was a guaranteed 2 shot kill to the body at any range and had infinite stealth

[arctic grove]

anyone want to play? dm me :)

[remote kiln]

literally a walking reaper

[dusky tulip]

I wasnt playing the game back then but good to know

[drowsy shuttle]

sfar, m5, ac42, pp29 and pbx as the best weapons in the game ...

and bsv

[remote kiln]

count yourself lucky

[drowsy shuttle]

ok maybe take out pbx for bsv

[copper ice]

pbx is pretty stellar but only because of funky values they never fixed

[dusky tulip]

TBH I tried the game when it came out and as soon as I played the Doha map I am like wtf is this ... I went back to BF1 and BF5

[remote kiln]

the bsv during season 1 was that powerful it out damaged SMGs <15m

[dusky tulip]

That desert map was a turn off in the early stages it looked bare

[drowsy shuttle]

BSV when it came out was easily the best overall weapon in the game... it was very good for all ranges... was incredible lol

[remote kiln]

nevermind the suppression

honestly even to this day the suppression is one of the most overlooked parts

[drowsy shuttle]

i agree

[dusky tulip]

I find that it has a low amount of bullets and you reload a lot with it but still cool AF

[arctic grove]

I kinda hated the bsv at launch because I was too lazy to level it up. Wasn’t the OP ammo the high power extended or something? Only leveled it up to subsonic extended or something

I also don’t find it very good in semi today because of the bloom

[drowsy shuttle]

its one of the reasons why the rm68 is broken.. its not only the damage and bullet velocity and no recoil ... its also the suppression lol

[karmic egret]

when does season 5 come out

[remote kiln]

rm68 honestly is a bit, overjudged

[copper ice]

its got a smaller mag size but it's a 3hk to 75m with high power and the integrated suppressor

[dusky tulip]

Yes guns with built in suppression retain the firepower as opposed when you use a silencer on other rifles you lose firepower

[remote kiln]

the optimal loadout isn't the suppression like the bsv so that's rule 1 out, needs a hit to it's damage slightly, but not a lot

[drowsy shuttle]

imo rm68 with 1.25x thermal is almost cheating

[remote kiln]

the thermals don't aim correctly

[copper ice]

rm68? doesnt short barrel keep the suppressor on it?

[remote kiln]

the crosshair is off from where the actual bullet leads

[drowsy shuttle]

the other ones yes.. but i don't have issues with the 1.25x

at least never noticed

[remote kiln]

not..? that I'm aware of

[drowsy shuttle]

but the 2.5x and the 4x thermals have hit reg issues for sure

[drowsy shuttle]

yes... the short barrel has a default supressor lol

[remote kiln]

aim the weapon with the laser

you'll see where the 1.25x is at isn't correct when leading

it's very miniscule but significant

[drowsy shuttle]

i use lasers.. weird never noticed.. i'll check it next time i'll play it

[copper ice]

it does keep the suppressor yeah

690rpm even with higher power on suppressed short barrel

[fresh lintel]

I'm at my wits end with XIM users holy fucking shit lmao

[copper ice]

simply dont exist within 100 metres of any enemy player

[remote kiln]

does anyone even use HP? your damage at short range is massively compromised

[drowsy shuttle]

on the rm68 or in general?

[remote kiln]

rm

[copper ice]

i doubt it

[drowsy shuttle]

i don't.. i use the standard extended

[copper ice]

690rpm even with it is big though

should break 700rpm with the other ammo types

yeah 735rpm

on a 4btk out to a reasonable distance

[fresh lintel]

By reasonable you mean until the maps other end

[torpid falcon]

I feel like SFAR would be better then RM68 due to grenade launcher and the 40 round mag over 30

[fresh lintel]

I wouldn't mind if they toned the range down to SMG levels (or, where SMGs probably should be and not how far you can push them)

[remote kiln]

if the RM gets hit the sfar will become the go to for long range

[fresh lintel]

Yup

[remote kiln]

it's HP extended can't be contested, so no point hitting the RM for it

base damage slight reduction is enough

[fresh lintel]

It RM68 goes, the SFAR maintains its superiority in the AR department.

Which sure the AM40 exists and the more skill reliant AK exists but the SFAR out classes them because guess who 2 shot headshots :^)

[remote kiln]

it already sucks at close range so has to be delicate when nerfing

[copper ice]

significantly lower rof and more recoil/less accuracy

rm gets 40mm HE as well

[torpid falcon]

So RM>SFAR?

[remote kiln]

the SFAR has basically 0 recoil

it also has a massively better damage per bullet

[copper ice]

nothing in the game has recoil

[drowsy shuttle]

currently yes

[copper ice]

rm has less no recoil than sfar does

[remote kiln]

yeah but that doesn't mean nerfing it to oblivion

if it gets hit even modestly it will suck at where it excels with medium range

[copper ice]

its an issue with all the guns currently

[drowsy shuttle]

i was using the champion muzzle on the AK like a noob thinking i needed it to reduce the recoil a bit... changed to the tactical comp and was the same 0 recoil.. so yeah.. i rather use the tactical for better accuracy cause the recoil is non existent and i can control it almost with my foot lol

[copper ice]

they're all so similar that it's basically just damage nerfs you can realistically do

[torpid falcon]

I honestly still rock the MP9 that thing is a beast still

[copper ice]

honestly the muzzle attachments have minor stat increases themselves

you're better off with wrapped suppressor to get better flanks

[drowsy shuttle]

i agree with this... i think most of them are almost placebo effect... especially the grips

[remote kiln]

the grips do not have a material effect on the gun

not stat wise but recoil wise

it shows aswell, it's impossible to adjust to the difference between 2

[copper ice]

afaik barrel attachments are 10%

[drowsy shuttle]

well they are supposed to give you better ads accuracy or better moviment accuracy... but i feel its basically same shit.. with or without grips

[copper ice]

which is like. tiny

i assume grips are the same

[remote kiln]

the standing still grip has a higher base kick when moving, and vice versa

[copper ice]

make a game based around swapping attachments and then make the attachments so low it doesnt make a difference

and they all come with downsides anyway

[remote kiln]

making it annoying to use interchangeably

[drowsy shuttle]

wrapped chunks the bullet velocity quite a bit imo...

[copper ice]

goes from 640 to 544 on ak24

its notable but its only velocity

[drowsy shuttle]

well that can be enough for you and the guy you're fighting get a "trade"

[copper ice]

half of that is just the ak24 being the ak24

its like the sfar but with worse damage values

less recoil, but we already covered recoil

[drowsy shuttle]

i mean i have the wrapped on my plus system... and i use it sometimes.. but most of the time i run with the tactical

[copper ice]

i stopped worrying about barrels after realising just how small the differences were

its easier to get used to the velocity reduction on wrapped and run that always on everything

[drowsy shuttle]

short barrel in all of the weapons lol cause RoF for the win

[copper ice]

same with short barrel

yeah lmao

its soooo silly

[drowsy shuttle]

i only use tactical or wrapped when theres no short barrel

[sour meadow]

hot take

DICE makes really dumb decisions

their reasoning for them not having all chat on by default is that it's been so long after launch, that people wouldn't be used to it

and they don't want to force that kind of change or something

[copper ice]

if short barrel yes, if no short barrel then wrapped (6ku on a handful of guns that dont drop a btk)

[copper ice]

then they change everyones aiming style?

[sour meadow]

exactly

also

[copper ice]

yes they lie and contradict themselves constantly

[sour meadow]

these are in the options menu

the options menu

[copper ice]

it would be less offensive if they were not so bad at it

[sour meadow]

as an option
