battlefield-2042

[fervent rose]

i just kinda miss the fast tanks and lethal launchers gameplay

they both feel weaker now

[elfin plank]

Why not just bring the smaw rpg7 to AOW

the damn M5 is a carl gustav for christ sakes

not meant for dealing with heavy armor

[livid swift]

yeah the m5 is so out of place still :)) for the current setting

but whatever

[elfin plank]

Why not bring that Rpg with the cool looking heat warhead

[fervent rose]

how is an m5 gustav not meant for heavy armor, im not following

[elfin plank]

its HEDP round fired out of an ancient design

[livid swift]

but it's swedish

[elfin plank]

Now granted this game isnt for realism but youre telling me the war equivalent of throwing a stone against modern armor is supposed to penetrate? lmao no

[next onyx]

If they did actual directional damage I feel like maybe it would make things worse?

mh.

[elfin plank]

It would

You could turn an abrams into swiss cheese with 20mm

from the SIDE

[livid swift]

what do you think about having reactive armor instead of APS for tanks?

[elfin plank]

Well can it be repairable?

[dusk falcon]

just saying if bf2042 was realistic the javelin should one shot every armor

[elfin plank]

would it be like warthunders reactive armor? or bf3s?

or even bf4s?

[fervent rose]

but its not a "stone" its a future version with future munitions. tanks are very vulnerable objects

[elfin plank]

With the exception the T14

[livid swift]

either repairable or only the spots where it was hit will disappear, like say got a hit on the left side, that is now normal damage not reduced

[elfin plank]

theres no crew in the t14 turret

[elfin plank]

Id have to see their explaination on why choosing the crappier carl gutsatv over the smaw and rpg would make sense in this instance

Now what if they had tanks modeled like how they do in war thunder? no one would have fun LOL

[fervent rose]

i definitely dont understand why theres no smaw, but rpg is heavily outdated by 2042

[livid swift]

wasn't there a leak about the potential laser guided launcher coming sometime? sraw or what was it called

[ember rampart]

Hi guys, I'm totally new here, want to ask a bit technical question and don't know if this channel is appropriate. But I'll give it a try. Yesterday I've bought external 4K 16:9 monitor for my laptop, which is 2K 16:10. My problem is, that I'm not able to go all the way full 4K because of weaker gpu, so I want Battlefield to run in 2K, but menu options only show me 2K for 16:10 aspect ratio, which is kinda awful on 16:9 monitor. Do you guys have any ideas how to solve this?

[elfin plank]

Rpg is like the Klashinkov it can be modified to stay relevant

And with that same thought how old is the abrams?

pretty old

only a few years younger than the t72 platform

when did they do the first M1 abrams? 69?

[viscid hearth]

[livid swift]

what gpu do you have?

[remote kiln]

this is not possible, if you can't run the bandwidth for 16:10 the game will not render anything in it

[ember rampart]

3060

[elfin plank]

Its not a regular 3060 its a laptop 3060 so a lot weaker

[fervent rose]

laptop 3060 is gonna mad struggle beyond 1080p

[elfin plank]

^

[fervent rose]

you should play 1080p

[ember rampart]

That's not true actually, I played the game on that 2K laptop screen just fine.

[fervent rose]

well everyone has different expectations and standards

[livid swift]

that's gonna be rough for that res...there's an option in nvidias control panel to make a custom resolution, that might help. other than that, DLSS on performance maybeee

[remote kiln]

no they are correct lol

[fervent rose]

i just know you're not getting super high frame rates with that setup

[remote kiln]

the laptop 3060 is nowhere near equivalent to the desktop card

it's a 2060 class in performance, if you're lucky

[elfin plank]

I understand they cant put full cards in laptops but for one of many reasons this is why i hate laptops

[remote kiln]

they can

[fervent rose]

the laptops are getting pretty good

[remote kiln]

they won't, because it's not profitable

[elfin plank]

I meant internally

[fervent rose]

compared to 10-15 years ago, laptops are incredible

[remote kiln]

yes they can add them internally

[elfin plank]

oh really?

[remote kiln]

yes definitely

[ember rampart]

I'm not saying that it is as performant as desktop one, only that I'm able to run game at 2K on medium setting for something about 75 fps, which is good for me

[elfin plank]

My card alone weighs more and is bigger than most laptops

which is crazy

such a small shared heatsink for a laptop

but a single gpu gets that and more

[next onyx]

I remember owning an ASUS laptop trying to play black ops 1. Oboy oboy.

[elfin plank]

Well hey trawen hopefully youll be able to play on a desktop and come to the better side

until then enjoy your laptop as much as you can

[fervent rose]

i was a sucker and got an alienware laptop back in the day, maybe a year or two before that

now i can get one for 1/3 of the cost that's twice as good

[elfin plank]

my first laptop i spent 800 on in 2016 and i thought it was the bees knees

[low timber]

Are you sponsored by oboy?

[ember rampart]

Thank you, I've read about that but people always say it looks horrible, I don't know if that is because some scaling or so, but it simply does..

[elfin plank]

it was pure ass

single stick ram, 1050, OS on an HDD

[livid swift]

usually yeah, it will look worse when playing lower res than the native from the monitor, even if 2k is a lot of pixels technically

[fervent rose]

make sure you don't have "resolution scaling" on

that can really make it ugly and blurry

[livid swift]

Ashlee we should team up sometime, I kill the helis that anger you, you kill the infantry that bothers me

[elfin plank]

Sure

idm

i just get angry quick

[misty briar]

Mad talk again whats the topic

[misty briar]

No shit 😂

[elfin plank]

LOL

[livid swift]

I haven't had my coffee yet and thought about talking transport helis

oops

[fervent rose]

funny you say that, because they do

it just barely matters

[misty briar]

I dont find them op. But i mainly play rush anyway

[fervent rose]

rush has its own problems

the MAV is a terror

[naive quiver]

EA app down ?

[elfin plank]

You mean the jawa sand crawler?

[ember rampart]

Well, I should also mention that the right 2K option was there before I've updated drivers for monitor, since the g-sync was unusable without that. And it look just fine. I think it has something to do the way it is scaled up, battlefield does it one way, gpu itself probably other. I don't actually know 😄

[ember rampart]

That is a bf or Nvidia setting?

[fervent rose]

inside the game

i've had it turned on by itself and it is mad ugly

[ember rampart]

I'll give it a try, thanks.

[livid swift]

100%, I tried setting up DSR for battlefield to go higher res and my pc went AWOL

[arctic grove]

2042 down or something? Can’t get in

[naive quiver]

yes

servers down

[arctic grove]

Ah ok

Any idea why y’know?

[fervent rose]

the sand crawler with a mortar pod of hell

[ripe hedge]

👀

[elfin plank]

tbh i hope they never nerf the mortar pod

[livid swift]

👀

[elfin plank]

is this the alex that loves the rm68?

[mighty holly]

It’s the blue lad

[elfin plank]

Dont let them nerf it into the ground like they did the k30 alex

[mighty holly]

Such a rare sight to see a blue lad I’ll tell you what

[fervent rose]

if m16 goes to poop because heavy barrel removal i am gonna be sad

[elfin plank]

i dont use heavy barrel so im unaffected

its better with flash suppressor

[ripe hedge]

the one and only

Yooo wait, Angra as in, the band?

[elfin plank]

Alright, dont let them nerf it too hard

[next onyx]

OH YEAH.

[ripe hedge]

let "them" who?

[elfin plank]

any words on how they will nerf the g57? because what sense does it make to nerf the g57 to hell when the other sidearms suck ass

[next onyx]

I remembered something. I think.

If I remember it right.

[elfin plank]

Your "colleagues"

[fervent rose]

bursts per minute should be reduced a tad

[next onyx]

Somebody experimented with 6.8 Remington on the SCAR.

I think.

[fervent rose]

g57's damage output is simply too much

[elfin plank]

Just make other sidearms completive

simple fix

[ripe hedge]

my only colleagues are "the shadowy figure that feeds me through a hatch in my cell" and "the person who cleans my ball and chain while i sleep"

[wanton badge]

What is the new vault weapon coming?! 50 wasn’t enough clue

[elfin plank]

p51 and other sidearms are dogwater

[wanton badge]

At least they feed you cookies

[elfin plank]

when they should be clear competitors to the g57

[ripe hedge]

yeah at least

[next onyx]

Oh? What's the name of your shadowy figure?

[elfin plank]

Time to get a new job then lol

[ripe hedge]

Tom i think

[next onyx]

The one that lives in my corner is named Jerry.

Ah.

[elfin plank]

They should hire me

[ripe hedge]

CV?

[elfin plank]

but ill be killed for my changes

[ripe hedge]

Reminder 👉 https://www.dice.se/careers

[elfin plank]

Lmao yall dont want me fr

[next onyx]

Oh that's fucky. Literally just found out they tested with 7.62 Kalashnikov and 6.8 Remington with the SCAR.

Not tested.

[elfin plank]

Id make bf 2042 enjoyable, they dont want that

[next onyx]

But looked into it.

6.8 kicks less than 7.62 doesn't it?

[mighty holly]

I see another lad knows of the band but sadly no it’s more like
Angramainyu as in a deity but close

[quaint vector]

I can make cookies and coffee, also clean after... So, Am I hired.?

[mighty holly]

ngl I didn’t knew angra was a band until some other lad told me about it

[next onyx]

WAIT.

I wonder.

If my SCAR will get the Kobra.

[elfin plank]

It wont

[gritty tapir]

having conquest of ages and world tour running at the same time seems kinda counter intuitive?

[fresh lintel]

Hire me and i'll add mechs simple as

This will become a Mechwarrior title

[gritty tapir]

me to the apex devs (they made titanfall)

[fresh lintel]

Titanfall is apart of the apex universe :^)

[gritty tapir]

exactly yet no mechs

[fresh lintel]

Did you not see that tweet?

[mighty holly]

where’s the walkers at

[gritty tapir]

i dont play apex so no

[fresh lintel]

Ah. Respawn literally said something along the lines of: "Apex universe" implying it was never the Titanfall universe.

And why they basically left Titanfall for dead

There wont be titans basically. Titanfall is ded ded

[next onyx]

Just add small pulse lasers and MG's onto the mechs and you're set haha.

Considering the time period.

[fresh lintel]

Maybe a little AC2 action

[next onyx]

In 2142 the mechs had an APS funny enough.

Christ that'd be overpowered in mechwarrior.

Imagine invalidating what. 40 LRM's in a single button haha.

[fresh lintel]

I forgot what the mechs had in weapons. A minigun I think and some others

[next onyx]

Yeah they had miniguns and purely that.

[fresh lintel]

Jesus. But there are AMS systems that shot like.. Shotguns.

So its not too far fetched

[gritty tapir]

more miniguns? just what bf2042 needs fr

[next onyx]

Ah yeah the American walker had miniguns.

[gritty tapir]

everyone gets a minigun slapped on them

[next onyx]

The Russian walker had some kind of plasma like cannon.

[low timber]

Which is the only energy weapon in BF

[fresh lintel]

The only miniguns I want to see are Rotary Auto Cannons uwu

Wasnt the PanAsian side mostly emergy weapons?

[next onyx]

Sort of yeah.

[fresh lintel]

Like their Small Arms, their Hovertanks cannon?

And god that looks like a GDI Titan lmao

[low timber]

Also it was Pan-Asian Coalition

Was answering to Way fyi

[fresh lintel]

I'm surprised I remember it was Pan-Asian since I only got to play 2142 a few years ago lmao

[mighty holly]

2142 my beloved

[next onyx]

I watched crafters video and you could see the visible panic in the walker turning the corner.

Ah yeah that makes sense.

I said RU out of habit.

[fresh lintel]

I mean you're not entiiiiirely wrong

IIRC Russians allied with China and what not

[gritty tapir]

very noncredible

[fresh lintel]

Then the United Nations? Was.. Everyone else + America

[next onyx]

OH.

They also had dumbifre rockets.

[fresh lintel]

I only remember tidbits about the lore, if I played 2142 back then I would be able to remember all of it

[next onyx]

https://youtu.be/U0AC0Gowc_4?t=301

[low timber]

The combined effort of multiple US and European arms manufacturers, the SCAR 11 has become the standard issue Assault Rifle due to its robust firepower and ability to perform in cold weather conditions.

[fresh lintel]

Now the question is: Were they akin to MRMs or SRMs

[next onyx]

I timestamped it.

[fresh lintel]

Stream SRMs, got it lmao

[next onyx]

Oh yeah did I make you aware that there's another mechwarrior in the works, Melan?

[fresh lintel]

Also I love how the SCAR carries on into near Ice Age.

Mechwarrior 6?

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[low timber]

Way approves

[fresh lintel]

Yeeeee

[next onyx]

SCAR 11 is a chonker.

[low timber]

The 2142 weapons do have heating in them

[fresh lintel]

I totally didnt spend $700 on the Mercs kickstarter

[next onyx]

To be honest if I played with it I'd have more affection towards it.

Hahaha.

Respect.

Mech 5 with mods is something else.

[fresh lintel]

dont tell my roommate

Ah yeah. Once I get a working PC i'm modding the crap out of MW5

[next onyx]

I did that and finally playing with the clan mechs, understandign what they do was massive.

You know.

Playing with a mad cat and customising it.

Min maxing, changing your engine.

Using actual clan weaponry which is lostech to the IS was big.

[fresh lintel]

Watching as Inner Sphere mechs crumble against Clanners until ER/DHS/Gauss mass production lmao

[next onyx]

It's funny how despite inferior tech, IS won purely because of experience.

Nvm the fact that they scavenged the clan's equipment which would of accelerated their own tech.

I watched gameplay of mech 2 mercs and with the appearance of the clans even you wonder wtf is that.

[fresh lintel]

IS Won because they do war. Clanners are basically Gladiators who know nothing of actual war despite being the descendants of the SLDF and Amaris Civil War survivots

[next onyx]

"Is that a Jenner?"

Yeah basically that.

They're gladiators. They fight with honour versus all out warfare.

[fresh lintel]

And IS abused that fact

Even Tukkayid: Comstar tricked the clanners. Used traps. Played dirty.

The only Clan to win their objective was Wolf IIRC and maybe Ghost Bears?

[next onyx]

It's just... Weird seeing House Davian and House Kurita work together. They literally hated each others guts and then they work almost flawlessly against the clans. Guess they both channeled their hate against the invaders lol.

(Honourable mention in that you can literally steal a Kodiak in which you can either give it to house kurita or kill them and take it for yourself)

[fresh lintel]

Yeah its weird. But I guess it had something to do with Steiner/Davion alliance.

[next onyx]

It makes sense.

[low timber]

Not to me

[next onyx]

In mech 2 your first experience with the clans, They literally capture you and your only way to escape is by a hovercraft. I'm not even joking.

[fresh lintel]

I am reading Blood of Kerensky Volume 1 right now. So basically Clan Invasion on the Inner Spheres POV

[next onyx]

Ohhh.

[fresh lintel]

I have like 30 BT books thanks to Value Village

[next onyx]

Haha.

I just love the utter shock seeing the clans for the first time in game.

You genuinely wonder "who are these people"

[fresh lintel]

I hope they do that with Mech 6

[next onyx]

YEAH.

Mech 2 remake.

Play as IS or Clans.

[fresh lintel]

I want it to start off just a year or two before. Make it a story, do your merc things

And then you slowly see the Steiner/FRR/Kuritan space slowly shrinking

[next onyx]

Then get absolutely assaulted by lances of Clanners.

Vivid reminder how you could fight two stars of Jade Falcons in that one mission on mech 4 mercs.

Last time I played it I got fucking headshotted by a madcat mk2.

[fresh lintel]

FRR lost like 12+ planets within the first months of the invasion or first year

And yeah fighting a single lance of Clanners should require two or your biggest, scariest mechs

Because even the Kell Hounds couldnt scratch em

[next onyx]

Lemme just boot up a Marauder Mk2.

Heh.

[fresh lintel]

All I need is my Warhammer

[next onyx]

I'd say that's a hot mech but then there's me running a marauder with 2 LP lasers.

The Catapult is pretty fun to use though.

[fresh lintel]

In my case i'd be rocking a Black Widow because i'm not a simp shut up or just a 6R with DHS and basic PPCs

[next onyx]

KEK. Yeah.

I'll run with an IS mech until I find my self a Diashi.

Nasty ass mech.

[fresh lintel]

Yeeeesss. You know how to clan.

[next onyx]

But if there's ever an assault on a city. Just run the Annihilator with LB X 10's.

If I need some range I'd run the Mad cat because of missile pods.

[fresh lintel]

I run a LBX ANH anyways because nothing is scarier than a walking siege tower that acts as a Infantry slaughterer, Light destroyer and a Anti Air platform at the same time

[next onyx]

I'd be scared shitless if I saw an annihilator because of the amount of weaponry you can stuff into it.

Like can't you stuff it with 5 LBX's?

No matter what your class is. You're going to take a lot of damage if those connect.

[fresh lintel]

Oh jesus yeah. The 1A with 4 LBX 10s or another with multiple LBX5's

Unless you want lasers which then have fun with Pseudo Stalker/Supernova 1X

[next onyx]

Lasers do help a little but yeah.

[fresh lintel]

And the 1A with 4 LBX is cool enough to warrant MLs but I stick with smalls. More weight for ammo

[next onyx]

I like the autocannons that allow you to fire if they're loading at the risk of jamming, Because at least you can edge out a little bit of damage while your other weapons are reloading.

[fresh lintel]

UACs are stupid lmao

[next onyx]

I'm a bit obsessive over pulse lasers.

I find the heat and weight to be worth it since they refresh.

[fresh lintel]

I like Heavy lasers. One heavy is basically a Gauss rifle in damage

Or a Heavy LL is like a AC20

[next onyx]

C-H-Laser.

Jeez.

Massive heat but at least you don't have to fight with the slow velocity.

[fresh lintel]

The Marauder IIC with 2 HLLs and 4 HMLs is just dumb

[next onyx]

Might give that a go when I play mech 4 mercs again.

Or Mech 5.

Oh wait I need the DLC for Mk2.

[fresh lintel]

I will say that one is from MWO, since quirks

[next onyx]

Yeah that sounds like a clan variant.

So most likely not available.

But I should be able to replicate it somehow.

[fresh lintel]

I know the IIC gets the Clan Railgun

[next onyx]

OH.

[fresh lintel]

Because you have the MADIIC which is the Clan refit of the original Marauder

[next onyx]

What's that one mech that can load a tremendous ballistic wepaon?

I don't think it was the marauder.

It was like this gimmick mech.

[fresh lintel]

And then you have the Marauder II which is the Assault Marauder made by Wolfs Dragoons

Behemoth/Stone Rhino I think

Clan mech?

[next onyx]

Sounds like clan since you know it by two different desigs.

Nvm that's the tnak.

Yeah rhino.

[karmic egret]

Huh.... Interesting

[fresh lintel]

I'm a bit of a BT nerd lmao

Battletech and Warhammer 40k take up both halves of my brain

[next onyx]

Haha!

I grew up with mechwarrior.

My mum would play it all the time and I would be enamoured.

[robust vapor]

Looks cute

[next onyx]

It's kind of ironic how mechwarrior is sci fi but it is somewhat grounded.

[next onyx]

Just a light mech!

[fresh lintel]

I sorta grew up with Mechwarrior thanks to Mechassault. But 10+ Years ago I got into 40k Thanks to Starcraft and Dawn of War

[next onyx]

Haha fair enough.

I heard about 40K because of my mates.

Interesting universe.

[fresh lintel]

And I really got into Battletech like.. A year or two before the Clan Invasion kickstarter. So i wanna say 3 years ago?

[next onyx]

Ah.

I unfortunately didn't get to play it as much growing up.

We had all the discs growing up but couldn't play it because I didn't know how.

Only in the past 6 years I got around to it.

[fresh lintel]

And yeah 40k is one massive, sometimes confusing universe and I love it

[next onyx]

It like battle tech is a franchise you really need to dig into to understand.

You'll hear about this event and you'll really need to look into what caused it.

[robust vapor]

Cute and lethal. Enough to stomp me to death

Tho i never played 2142 before

[next onyx]

Like how on mechwarrior how the succession wars started and how much it affected everyone, How clans had a much different culture, etc.

Yeah it's an old game.

It's worth playing to just see what it's like.

[robust vapor]

Not sure if I could get my hands on it for free

👀

[fresh lintel]

You can actually

Well, 2142 yeah?

[robust vapor]

O dang

[fresh lintel]

Bluedrake has a video about it and how you can play it.

[robust vapor]

I mean it's an old game and I managed to download and play BF2 years ago

O bluedrake I'll check him out later

[fresh lintel]

Yeah it used gamespy I think? So official servers are dead. However community run servers exist and there is a whole community that keeps it alive and more. Battlefield forever I think?

Its been a while tbh

[robust vapor]

I'll see to it

[fresh lintel]

Also yeah the whole Succession Wars thing and then the Davion/Steiner alliance and the St Ives Impact.

Battletechs lore is so interesting because it straight up is Game of Thrones in space

Then Warhammer 40k is just: Fuck it we ball.

Its a fun (sometimes.) Chaotic mess.

[rocky aurora]

Haven’t played in a while. Is 2042 good yet (more like BF3/4)? Or are they still pulling it in a stupid direction?

[misty briar]

Its more fun than 4 imo

3 is unbeatable

[fresh lintel]

Its in a better spot thats for surem

[misty briar]

If u give it a chance and not being biased u will have fun

[fresh lintel]

If you have Xbox gamepass its certainly worth installing and giving it a go.

If on PC: Worse case scenario is you have a uninstalled game forever to fill the list

[fervent rose]

2042 will never be like bf3, but its certainly better than the alpha they put out on launch

developing the game after release was an odd strategy

[fresh lintel]

its just the times.

Everyone wants to be the next No mans sky

[fervent rose]

people can do a whole lot better than that

[jovial bane]

Can I ask a BF2024 troubleshooting question here?

[fervent rose]

no mans sky is still a pointless game with the same core gameplay loop flaws even after all of their updates

[fresh lintel]

I know. I'm not excusing the lack of quality control of AAA companies. Its more just an observation on how games release bad and get better over time

[fervent rose]

exploration game that doesnt reward exploration, and they build all these systems that make no sense given how you're supposed to move on from planets, not make intricate bases

[misty briar]

No mans sky the game for no brainer and ppl that get entertaint easily

Ed

[fresh lintel]

I actually don't mind NMS, its a nice chill game.

Beats playing literal walking simulator: Death Stranding

[misty briar]

If i wanna chill i play skyrim

[next onyx]

Terraria for me.

Or ultrakill.

[fresh lintel]

Anything that isnt PVP for me lmao

[misty briar]

Sounds chill af

[fresh lintel]

Signalis has been a new chill game

[misty briar]

I feel that. At some point sweating 24/7 gets old. Expectation is bf really

[next onyx]

Ultrakill is crazy good.

[fervent rose]

hitman 3 for me recently, though that game can get intense too

[next onyx]

It might be extremely fast paced but its just... Mindless fun.

[fresh lintel]

For me i dont really "sweat" but I am a sweat.

[misty briar]

I saw hitman 3 vr on youtube. That seems mad funny

[next onyx]

You're flicking coins, Penetrating enemies with the railgun, firing your shotgun, punching the shells, swapping to your other shotgun and repeating the action.

And yes.

[fervent rose]

hitman freelancer is cool as fuck, love how they made a mode that uses all 3 games maps

[next onyx]

That is a very real thing you can do.

[fresh lintel]

As in: I'll play in what to me feels casual and chill.

But i'll still be like top of the board with 30-5 or something lmao

[next onyx]

Yeah battlefield does that to me too.

But it frustrates me so I'll feel annoyed. It's a massive 50/50.

[misty briar]

Finally someome nom casually here

[fresh lintel]

Its when someone pulls out hard meta and starts bagging is when I go sweaty.

9.5/10 they dont teabag me or kill me again once I pull shit like the RM68 or PBX against them

[misty briar]

Hunting top scorer in a game to humble them. Its a lifestyle

[fresh lintel]

I dont even hunt people, i just go.

[next onyx]

I'm usually playing battlefield with my mate who streams it.

And we just relax.

[misty briar]

Well ye but if i see a special name i go extra aggressiv on them

[next onyx]

As cursed as the games get.

[misty briar]

Always play with premates

Games can be mad funny

[next onyx]

I've been solo queuing for almost a decade.

It's kind of normal.

heh.

[misty briar]

Sad

[fresh lintel]

I cant bring myself to do that unless its a stealth heli. Which then its not hard.

But hunting a infantry player? I go by visuals over names. I recognize a player by their choice of skin lmao

[next onyx]

Ever since my mate went to America I've just gotten used to it.

[misty briar]

I dont see skins. I just see a red dot and shoot it 😂

[next onyx]

I usually know who is who by the weapon and movement.

[fervent rose]

2042 solo is wildly frustrating but with a group I also think it'd be boring

[misty briar]

I dont see movement and weapons cuz they die too fast #flex

[fervent rose]

bfv was that way too, when i had full medic squads the game was so meh

[misty briar]

With premates is just waaay more fun. Solo with medics not reviving is just annoying af

[fresh lintel]

I pay attention to weapons if its common and if theyre the only person killing me.

Which then I switch to their weapon (usually PBX or RM68) and I stop seeing them as my killer :^)

[next onyx]

Sometimes I'll just play with a +1 even and just work off that.

When the shitter abuses the RM and you're the guy beating them with the m16.

[misty briar]

M16 is massivly underrated btw. I never see ppl with it cuz ppl are blinded by rm. yet blasting rm ppl with m16 is fun and easy

[fresh lintel]

Or the SFAR or M5 or AK

Yeah.

[fervent rose]

nah, people know

[next onyx]

M5a3 isn't super annoying at least.

[misty briar]

Ayy

[fervent rose]

the avg player doesnt maybe, but the good players know m16 is aight

[next onyx]

People just think it's a bad gun cause it's from portal.

[fresh lintel]

It and the AK are probably the most balanced non vault ARs

[misty briar]

Ppl know but dont wanna play it seems weird

[fervent rose]

rm68 is just so much better than everything else

[fresh lintel]

Its unbalanced

[next onyx]

I'd say the M5 and AK are the more balanced weapons yeah.

Literally balanced.

AS in.

[misty briar]

Idk. I find m16 better than rm. rm is just stronger at long range

[next onyx]

They do everything but not superbly.

[fervent rose]

nah, ak needs some small buff

[fresh lintel]

Require skill and have good TTK and versatility

[fervent rose]

m5a3 is about perfect though

[next onyx]

If the AK had a 20 to 30M 4HK I wouldn't mind that.

[fresh lintel]

AK is what the SFAR should be. Decent recoil to contend with. Not super long range but just enough range

[next onyx]

It's what sort of makes me wish the m416 had a short barrel as much as I fucking hate that attachment, Cause at least on that gun it'll be somewhat balanced.

850 RPM 416 literally hardline without the 30m 3HK range.

[fresh lintel]

And I speak as a Last Genner so my experience is DRASTICALLY different than a PC players.

And somewhat a current gen

[next onyx]

Oh nah I don't disagree.

I've used the AK as well.

[fresh lintel]

Since current genners get PC maps.. 😤

[next onyx]

It feels like a really good aiming gun. That's how I'd describe it.

[fervent rose]

like i wouldnt mind if all of the ARs were balanced down to AK level

but that'd take more work than just giving ak a tiny buff

[fresh lintel]

Yeah once I T1 the AM40 and possibly RM68, i'll just main the AK

[next onyx]

Mh reminds me on 5 how the different was just recoil and RPM.

[fresh lintel]

Since the AK was my second T1

[fervent rose]

m5 scar and rm68 are just so much better than ak right now

[next onyx]

It wasn't a bad way to balance it.

But it's kind of boring?

[fresh lintel]

The M5 is better in CQC but if you can land headshots: I think the AK beats it.

[next onyx]

If they gave the AK24 a 670 RPM with 20 metres worth of range that'd actually sit well I reckon.

M5 with Short barrel and AK are pretty much 1:1 in close range.

[fresh lintel]

I havent used M5 with short barrel, since it was my first T1 and I didnt understand the game as much

[next onyx]

Yeah same.

[fervent rose]

gotta run sbarrel on m5, no downsides

[next onyx]

M5 with SB zero issues with ironically cause it stays powerful but not overwhelming.

[fresh lintel]

I'll give it a try, but I just stuck with.. I think Warhawk?

[next onyx]

It's like the m16 in a way.

[fresh lintel]

It was either the Recoil+ or Horiz+

[next onyx]

Except the m16 literally has 45 more metres worth of range.

Yeah warhawk makes recoil all round easier to control with decreased accuracy.

[fresh lintel]

Which I burst alot so the accuracy debuff is a joke

Its a habit I wont get rid of

[fervent rose]

bursting in 2042 is weird

[fresh lintel]

Even in Destiny 2 I fucking burst

[next onyx]

The input delay makes bursting just not worth it.

[fervent rose]

or at least microbursting feels terrible

due to the initial recoil modifier thing

your first 5 or so shots

[fresh lintel]

I don't get that much input delay, i think its because console

[next onyx]

That too.

Angled grip would be nice to use again.

You know.

[fervent rose]

medium sized bursts are great though

[slender isle]

Hopefully we get short barrel

[next onyx]

No. No short barrel m16.

Do you seriously want balance to be busted.

[fresh lintel]

Some guns don't suffer too much from it but I do notice some guns kick so much from FSM but then shoot smooth when you hold it

[next onyx]

Anymore than it currently is.

[fervent rose]

which we feel a lot more on pc, 33% difference

[fresh lintel]

But holding the trigger feels wrong. And shouldnt be rewarded unless its a LMG

[next onyx]

Yeah LCMG with short barrel suffers from it.

[slender isle]

Yes

[fresh lintel]

Yeah

[fervent rose]

the burst recoil just feels wack, but after the 5 shots it's a laser

[slender isle]

M16 is cool

[fresh lintel]

I'll probably just buy a Xbox one X and stick to console for 2042 lmao

[low timber]

If you need hipfire then just use a laser

[slender isle]

M416 and Acwr should be the only vault ARs that get short barrel imo

[next onyx]

ACW-R's original fire rate was 820.

They fix that it doesn't need it.

[slender isle]

I know

[fervent rose]

actually true though, the angled grip is useless

[slender isle]

Maybe we @ Alex for the 9th time to complain

[next onyx]

M416 probably doesn't need it as much as I would like to see it. it works well as a ranged AR.

[slender isle]

It doesn’t need it. But it’d be fun

[next onyx]

Yeah if it just reduced FSR or the first 5 shots recoil by 33% and decreased sustained fire accuracy that'd be nice.

[fresh lintel]

Yeah the concept of the angled grip and then having the MGL/STNR lasers..

[next onyx]

Or was just pure bonus.

It's such a cool grip but it just has no use.

[fresh lintel]

Yeah making it the burst grip versus the: Stand still grip, the Move grip and the "I can do both" grip would be ideal

[low timber]

Before the attachment rework a year ago the angled grip was the grip I only used.

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[fervent rose]

did the laser not work back then?

[low timber]

Though UBGL and Masterkey were higher on the list I chose

[next onyx]

It was off by default.

Which was PAIN.

[fervent rose]

i barely played 2042 before that great rework patch

[low timber]

The laser barely does anything even now

[next onyx]

Laser makes a massive change I've noticed on the M16.

[fresh lintel]

The base laser yeah.

[fervent rose]

red laser greatly tightens your hipfire cone compared to no laser

[next onyx]

But that's because I've gotten used to it.

[fervent rose]

it's much better than the angled grip

[low timber]

Also, the hipfire reticle is 2x bigger than what the hipfire spread is

[fervent rose]

ive wall tested this a lot

[fresh lintel]

The STNR/MGL is the most useful but the whole ordeal is weird

[next onyx]

Hell make it a copy of the stubby I don't care this point just make me use the angled grip.

[low timber]

That’s why the Super 500 was so large first, and now it’s the only one with less than 2x

Should be 1:1 imo

[fervent rose]

they keep messing with shotgun reticles

[fresh lintel]

The MCS880 reticle is... Accurate. For what it does.

[fervent rose]

they'll figure it out eventually i guess

[low timber]

The MCS reticle doesn’t show accurately at all how big and small the spread is

[fervent rose]

shotguns are just wildly inconsistent

[fresh lintel]

But it does show you that it can be used at some slight range to decent effect

[low timber]

The reticle is twice the size of the #01 and it uses the same size for all shots outside of slug

[fresh lintel]

Like 2 shots most of the time outside of what should be shotgun range

[fervent rose]

all you gotta do is load up the aimtrainer thing in portal and you'll get inconsistent results shooting at the exact same respawning target

[grave prism]

yo how long is left in the season i haven't played in like 3 months

[low timber]

So #4 spreads a lot more than the hipfire reticle

[fresh lintel]

You got like 4 weeks left I think?

[grave prism]

ok ty

[fervent rose]

ye 4 weeks till season 5

[fresh lintel]

You got AMPLE time

[next onyx]

Weird to think how close we are.

[fresh lintel]

Plus every previous weeks challenges beside the bonus challenges stay

[slender isle]

Still doesn’t have the best 1 hit range

[fervent rose]

the mcs is terrible

[grave prism]

i got like to rank whatever you get automatically from the season pass i think like rank 4 lmao

[fresh lintel]

Ah yeah no the MCS is the worst shotgun but its funnily enough

The most balanced?

The consistency could use some work but its not one shotting people if you suck at aiming.

Where as the 12M just needs you to aim at their direction and the NVK can pump out its entire clip in a second

[fervent rose]

the nvk is balanced due to the slow reloads

mcs is just not worth anyones time

[fresh lintel]

But it also has some stupid range and TTK

[fervent rose]

and of course the 12m drum is op as hell

[fresh lintel]

I refuse to use drums

I dont care if its meta

[next onyx]

I don't feel super guilty using Drums on the SCAR considering it's just 40 rounds.

[fervent rose]

meta or not, 12m drum requires 0 brain activity and is massively rewarded

[next onyx]

Drums take so long to reload on the saiga but it's not like it's difficult to manage.

[fresh lintel]

I didnt use the drums on the SFAR, the reload felt too quick to give up

[next onyx]

Got that stupid gun done on the first FnB. Literally easy to abuse.

[low timber]

That drum still should’ve been standard rounds

[next onyx]

Maybe?

[fresh lintel]

Plus Standard rounds were surprisingly good? Like 31 rounds

[next onyx]

I wouldn't be against a 30 round high powered mag.

But the niche of a gun with standard should be something other than the SCAR.

[fresh lintel]

Yeah it should have been Extended mags not just a drum

[fervent rose]

i never really found the reload to be an issue, especially with the plus menu reload canceling

[next onyx]

I was so happy going back to the SCAR the instant I finished the RM.

[fresh lintel]

But also Standard + Silencer was fun because you could delete people with headshots and not be heard

[next onyx]

The fact that I had 10 more rounds to use.

[fervent rose]

scar getting a 30 mag extended high power would be dope

[next onyx]

It made the mag last.

Oh yeah.,

[fervent rose]

its weird going from 20 to drum

[next onyx]

The drum mag on the SCAR originally had 50+1 rounds.

[low timber]

Back to your T1 grind, Boy.

[next onyx]

But it was removed after the first patch or two.

I'll get back to it when Rush XL re opens aha.

Gotta get the SHIT DMR's and shotguns done ugggghhhhh.

If there

[low timber]

I also need some better portal features experience for the PF51

[fresh lintel]

DM7 is too good on Console

[low timber]

Shit DMR?

[fresh lintel]

Shits so annoying

[fervent rose]

and it feels awful on mnk lmao

[low timber]

I liked the DM7

[next onyx]

If there are two portal snipers they should add, It should be M24 and M98b.

[fresh lintel]

I imagine most guns feel bad on MNK.

[low timber]

No

[next onyx]

I already got the dm7 done.

[fervent rose]

i want to use dm7 but it is terrible every single time i use it

bsvm is 10x that gun

[low timber]

We need the BC2 .50 Cal

[next onyx]

I need to do the SVK, SVD and the M39 done.

[fresh lintel]

I want the FN2000

[next onyx]

They shouldn't be too difficult.

[fresh lintel]

And the AN94.

[next onyx]

But at the same time I am not looking forward to them.

Other categories need more guns.

[fresh lintel]

Yeah ARs are bloated

[next onyx]

Like misc and snipers.

[low timber]

If they do add the FN2000 to BF3 Portal it needs that unique sight that didn’t exist in BF3 but was in BF4

[fervent rose]

nah full auto is a genuine breeze. dm7 in particular feels weird

2042's mnk gunplay is the easiest maybe ever

[fresh lintel]

I wish I could try it.

Maybe i'll steal my roomies computer when hes at work sometime

[fervent rose]

its not as complex as bf4/bf1 or as hard to control as bfv

[low timber]

Tactical needs something, only category with no vault weapons yet.

[next onyx]

Oh yeah little thing.

[low timber]

Spas-12 hopefully

[fresh lintel]

I still think BF3 was the peak of balance and gunplay even for consoles.

Because I played BF3 on 360

[next onyx]

I'm not sure if it's a thing still but did you know that bf3 soldiers don't use the grips on 2042 guns?

[low timber]

?

[fresh lintel]

Give snipers the Rorsch mk1

[fervent rose]

what

[next onyx]

This Ak had a stubby grip.

[low timber]

And?

[next onyx]

wait no.

It had the LWG grip.

[low timber]

I’ve seen on other games as well where the gun has a grip and they still hold of the gun a little bit

[next onyx]

I'ts been a while but I remember it does have a grip that incorporates your soldier using it.

Yeah true but the bf3 soldier vs a 2042 soldier doesn't use it.

[fresh lintel]

The RPT deletes its grip when you put a flashlight on it (havent checked with lasers) and it feels so goofy to use

[next onyx]

That grip I wish it did something.

[low timber]

Doesn’t the RPT have the C grip that was removed from AK-24?

[next onyx]

Yeah.

If you use the STNR grip it uses it.

[fresh lintel]

I feel like it woulda been like the PKPs "Grip"

Cosmetic.

[low timber]

STNR grip?

[next onyx]

It's actually the grip from the leaked video.

[fresh lintel]

I mean it acts like a grip lmao

[next onyx]

I remember it as a STNR grip.

wait what.

I just realised what I said.

[fresh lintel]

Lmao

[low timber]

Laser grip

Well it does reduce vertical recoil

[fresh lintel]

I'm calling the STNR/MBL? The Laser grips

[next onyx]

May as well.

[low timber]

Maygyanba

[fresh lintel]

Also I wish the RM68 had a red dot ACOG. I'm so sick of the Chevron.

And or the all black reticle. Give me a 2.5x Red dot 😤

My brain cant work with the chevron sights

[low timber]

Odd that it doesn’t have an option for the T8

[fresh lintel]

I understand why it doesnt have the other Thermals because it has the permanent Canted Iron Sight but like

All the scopes suck ;-;

[carmine rover]

whatsup

[fresh lintel]

Ayy

[fervent rose]

on a few guns they hold it by the laser pack

[fresh lintel]

Wouldnt that be.. Bad?

[fervent rose]

idk, but its definitely used as a grip on like the ak

[fresh lintel]

I feel like touching the lasers or scopes would fuck with them too much

I dont know how sturdy rail systems are on weapons.

Cant be a gun nut in Canada lmao

[low timber]

Should be attached tightly, as would be quite bad if your scope falls of just from climbing over a fence

[fresh lintel]

Fair 🤭

[next onyx]

I mean I'm in Australia and I'm not on a watch list, Yet.

[rocky bear]

that you know of

[low timber]

Why would you be in a watch list?

[next onyx]

Cause of guns.

It's a small joke.

[low timber]

Too much manically laughing?

[next onyx]

Hey look I must laugh.

[fresh lintel]

And here in Canada the gun laws are actually strict.

But anything is possible with crime.

my lawyer said this is a joke

[next onyx]

Heh.

[rocky bear]

its only illegal if they catch you?

[fresh lintel]

Exactly

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/supernatural-sam-winchester-jared-padalecki-dean-winchester-jensen-ackles-gif-15645791

[fresh lintel]

Though its funny because apparently Airsoft guns in Canada don't need the orange tip but in America they do

No ones home

Ignore the TV.

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/youre-under-arrest-seize-by-authority-take-into-custody-slow-down-stop-gif-13251806

[fresh lintel]

You cant prove anything 😤😤😤

My meese shall bail me out

[midnight mesa]

yo theres a bf3 optic on the fire team am40 skin

thats sick

[fresh lintel]

Possible placeholder for the preview of the skin?

[next onyx]

Oh yeah.

It has an American reflex on it with a chervon.

[low timber]

Chevron encoded

[patent path]

it's bugged tho, there are two very thin lines running down the middle of the sight

[midnight mesa]

as well as the side

it may be like that on purpose

for design choice

[patent path]

https://www.ebay.com/p/1601495075?iid=123453939919

it's this one

[next onyx]

Oh shit it's real?

[patent path]

standard-issued IDF sight

[next onyx]

The vector has the best legendary skin.

With how it treats its fusion holo.

[fresh lintel]

I kinda want to buy it for the sake of having it

[next onyx]

It's like the thompsons rears sights with a frame in it.

[fresh lintel]

Sure its $500 (probably in CAD) but like

[next onyx]

Ayo is that a Tavor?

[fresh lintel]

TAR my beloved

[next onyx]

I loved that we both recognised it melan.

[fervent rose]

hopefully we get 2143 next with sights like that as standard

[low timber]

Shame it’s taking the K8’s spot

[granite island]

Damn

[fresh lintel]

TAR is one of my favourite Bullpups

[granite island]

198 ping server

[patent path]

[midnight mesa]

shittt i think its a cool alternative

[next onyx]

I'd like it if we could use the sights and suppressors we bought on the same weapon at least.

[midnight mesa]

very creative

[fresh lintel]

I'll even say: If its a Bullpup i'm using it over any other gun

[next onyx]

Such at the pacifiers skin's fusion holo on the SCAR.

But that'd still be pay to win.

[midnight mesa]

makes purchasing the fire team II bundle all the more worth it

[next onyx]

It's why I want Kobra on my SCAR so I won't be over reliant on that sight.

[fresh lintel]

The Boom PBX and standard mag having hazard stripes on its mag

[next onyx]

I'd buy the burned 2 bundle If I played any of those operators seriously.

[low timber]

Try K8 and Ghost Hybrid

[next onyx]

Burned 3 bundle with Zain would be cool.

[slender isle]

Me in 5.0

[next onyx]

I don't like the k8 holo.

[low timber]

I really like the Ghost Hybrid

[fervent rose]

those helmets all look great but i think the fire effect is so goofy

[fresh lintel]

I forgot what red dot its called. The Ghost?

[low timber]

But for some reason M16 can’t equip it

[next onyx]

For now!

[fresh lintel]

Its the 1x or 1.25x Acog

[low timber]

It wasn’t in the list

Ghost Hybrid is the 1.25-4x scope

[fervent rose]

they only put in the tall ones i think

[fresh lintel]

Hrmm

[next onyx]

Yeah I remember what G hybrid is.

[fervent rose]

since the m16's gas thing blocks low set sights

[low timber]

I know you know, but it was for others

[fervent rose]

i dont think fusion is ever gonna be on m16

[low timber]

Ghost Hybrid is quite tall

[next onyx]

I thought we saw the Fusion holo on the gif.

[fresh lintel]

Ah there it is

The XDR

[next onyx]

I'm probably going insane.

[fresh lintel]

XDR is my favourite

[next onyx]

It's gonna keep kobra anyways so.

[low timber]

That’s on the AEK

[next onyx]

Oh yeah Bad co 2 RPK Kobra uses the bf3 kobra not bad co 2 kobra.

Not that I can complain though.

[low timber]

Nope, only irons, the 3x, Maul Hybrid and 8R

[next onyx]

Yeah I must of seen something else.

[fervent rose]

i saw some reddit post with a fusion m16 but it was fan made, maybe you saw that too

[next onyx]

Yeah I was thinking of that.

[low timber]

Probably the one Dedzigs posted then

[next onyx]

Cause it doesn't seem to be interfering with anything.

[patent path]

having to wait for the vault weapon update is kinda doodoo

[fresh lintel]

I just want skins on the vault weapons

[low timber]

Well the fusion Holo, the other Holo and K8 has a step stool on quite a few 2042 guns as well so the folded irons won’t block them

[fresh lintel]

Even if its just basic camo

[fervent rose]

but a fusion cant work on the m16 unless they get a low profile gas block

i think at least

and they arent gonna remodel the front part just for a couple sights

[patent path]

just add a riser

ez fix

[low timber]

BF4 M60 flashbacks

[fervent rose]

but theres no riser either they'd have to make that too

[low timber]

There is a riser

Fusion Holo on Sfar has a riser

K8 on the Super 500 has a raiser

K8 on the AC42 has a riser

[sour meadow]

will vault weapons be getting their own T1 skins?

[fervent rose]

but is it tall enough for an m16 gas block

that thing is huge

[low timber]

K8 on the AC9 has a riser, I think

[patent path]

probably

removing the classic frontsight-gasblock combo on the m16 is a sin

[midnight mesa]

i dont see why not

[patent path]

they will only have basic camos

(for now)

[midnight mesa]

maybe t1 skins are coming in 5.2? idk

[sour meadow]

that would be nice

[low timber]

I doubt

[next onyx]

T1 is very unlikely as much as I want it.

[low timber]

As T1 is much more than just color

[next onyx]

But.

[fervent rose]

they need to add a tier 2 to all guns, all black

[next onyx]

I would love it if they pushed for universal zebra skins.

[rocky bear]

disagree

[fresh lintel]

Solid colours would be nice

[rocky bear]

need more anime skins

[low timber]

I want a universal gold skin
And then the Studio favorite, returning weapon with 50 in its name Deagle .50 with it

[next onyx]

I do think this might push dice to make more universal skins.

[fervent rose]

i just want a blacked out scar and m5a3

[midnight mesa]

anyone think the default running animations for the lmgs looks kind of janky

[fervent rose]

no fancy colors

[next onyx]

Oh yeah DICE'd M5a3 and SCAR.

[sour meadow]

i want to remove the UBGL on the SFAR

[next onyx]

Ohhhh

[next onyx]

I wouldn't even mind it of the little bits here and there were gold.

[fervent rose]

doesnt dice have that

black and gold for devs

[next onyx]

Yeah.

Actually imagine black and chrome.

[fervent rose]

hoarding the only cool color

[low timber]

I want the solid Bronze, silver and Gold from Hardline

[fervent rose]

smh

[sour meadow]

i love the old war-worn skins from bf1

[low timber]

And solid matte colors

[next onyx]

Hey look. Black and silver just as nice+

[fervent rose]

i'd also settle for a dark gunmetal

[next onyx]

Navy olive tan black, etc.

[fervent rose]

the normal one is just bright grey

[next onyx]

I might get that digital skin.

The one that comes with the rao bundle.

[low timber]

That blued metallic skin was quite nice in BFV

[next onyx]

It was.

[fervent rose]

loved blued

the blued woods especially

[next onyx]

I would combine blued metal with night owl for my guns.

[low timber]

Just wish there were more skins that weren’t just painted over and so worn out looking

[next onyx]

The blued muzzle fg42 was so fucked.

But I loved it.

[fervent rose]

yo wheres the CHROME

[low timber]

Pretty much all 2042 universal skins had parts where the guns metal was showing on every corner out of wear and tear

[fervent rose]

i need a chromed out pbx

[next onyx]

Night ops wood with chrome metal.

Ooooooohhhhhh

[low timber]

You want GTA chrome so it’s like a mirror?

Didn’t BFV have a chrome skin that had the wood parts as red wood and it had a chrome/silver star?

[fervent rose]

i think so for a few of the guns

like the chrome slr's maybe

[low timber]

Shame that the BFV gold skins wood parts looked like frozen vomit.

[fervent rose]

ooh yea, chrome 1907sf

the reddish wood looked great

[next onyx]

Gold metal and chromed wood was so good.

[fervent rose]

bfv gold was so meh most of them

[next onyx]

The engravings just looked bad.

[low timber]

On my MP40 I had 3 or 4 pocket watches hanging on it

[fervent rose]

i just dont really like gold in general i guess

especially on a gun

[low timber]

Bronze, silver and gold universal skins would be neat though, like the silver I’d think would be quite popular.

[next onyx]

Tastu no ame best skin.

Literally. Dragon scales on your gun.

I genuinely loved it.

I got it for all my pacific guns.

Oh God there was art Deco as well.

I used it on my bar most of the time.

Bf5 had some really good premium skins.

[fervent rose]

it had a good system

2042's universal skins are less fun than bfv's mixing and matching pieces

[edgy oriole]

i think im gonna go up to 1200 dpi

[low timber]

While the BFV’s mixing and matching was good, there were some guns that would’ve been better with more individual parts

Like Thompson that had its barrel piece with metal and wood so ether you had two different metals or two different wood

[fresh lintel]

Please god dont do 1200 DPI lmao

[fervent rose]

why not

[fresh lintel]

That sounds like torture

[edgy oriole]

i used to be upper 2k dpi

[next onyx]

I used to play on 3200 DPI.

[edgy oriole]

then during covid i went down to 400

[fresh lintel]

I used 250 DPI..

[fervent rose]

been playing on 1600 for ages

[next onyx]

Try 1600 but lower your in game sens.

[fervent rose]

1600 elite

[fresh lintel]

I did 250 and 7 Sens on games

[next onyx]

The higher your DPI the more responsive you'll be.

[fervent rose]

the in game sens still works in every game, 1600 is good

not too high to be a problem

[next onyx]

Just don't be a me on 3200 DPI with 75 in game sens.

[fresh lintel]

I used to run high Sens and DPI back in Planetside but I switched to 250 and my accuracy got way better

I think the DPI was whatever the default was for my mice. Then I got a Corsair mouse

But now i cant use anything higher than 250 in any game I play

[edgy oriole]

imma make the change to 800 now for the next couple weeks. then 1200 after that

now to be bad at every game until muscle memory kicks in

[rocky bear]

yeah im on 1200 rn

its still weird just on the desktop even sometimes

[fervent rose]

theres really no point to changing dpi. set it to whatever is comfortable on desktop

adjusting in game sens is what matters

[rocky bear]

idk my flicks are halfway now at least so i dont really care

thats too harddd

[wary portal]

On bp rank 100

4 more points and I'm finish

[pine roost]

Honestly I’ve found it better to keep switching sensitivities

Makes your brain more adaptive and focussed while training

I don’t consider ‘muscle memory’ to be that important

[edgy oriole]

what that aim trainer code for portal. i know one of you has it

[pine roost]

You just develop the technique to the point where you can adapt it to whatever sens you are using

AANJ7Z

It’s all I play now while I wait for certain changes

Speaking of, when are we hearing about the proposed vehicle changes

[edgy oriole]

i gotta get my 90 and 180 sens ready

[next onyx]

Ultrakill I've found good for aiming.

It tests your reflexes.

Even if you become a bit too reliant on coin tossing and point blanking enemies with the shotgun aha.

[pine roost]

For clicking mostly, there aren’t too many scenarios where tracking is involved

[next onyx]

Yeah true.

Only gun that requires tracking is the nail gun but its not really too effective at a certain range.

[pine roost]

Aside from spraying Maurice with a nailgun

[next onyx]

I don't know why but Maurice unironically makes me laugh.

Being stared at by one.

[pine roost]

Finished act 2 the other day actually

[next onyx]

How was it?

[pine roost]

Pretty good

[next onyx]

Super curious on what the third act will be like.

[pine roost]

Kept retrying Gabriel to get the parry timings down

[rocky bear]

bro pulled out the tor and tbagged me lol

[pine roost]

Didn’t take as long as the first fight which makes sense I guess

[next onyx]

I've gotten into the habit into avoiding attacks.

Not to parry.

Because of the P2 boss I've just found it more reliable.

Oh shit that's right.

[pine roost]

Parry all the way

[next onyx]

Have you done P1 and P2?

[pine roost]

I’ve only just started to work on perfecting all the levels

[next onyx]

Ah! Fair.

[pine roost]

Starting with the prelude

[next onyx]

When you get into the habit of weapon switching and all that it becomes pretty easy.,

[pine roost]

Trying out all sorts of weapon combos now I have them all

Although I have yet to try out the boulder cannon

In fact I’ve got it on my uni pc so I could play some while waiting for the lecture to start

Although I’ve only got a flimsily arm test to use so the setup isn’t ideal

[next onyx]

Boulder!? It's the CANNON! Reeeeeeee!

If it pierced at full power like it did from Serious Sam it'd be definitely more powerful.

Exploding on an enemy thats hitpoints exceeds the damage potential of the ball but moving down regular enemies.

[wheat girder]

can't connect to servers?

[pine roost]

dang I got a good run just then but I don't have shadowplay ;(

[gilded stag]

i can't even start the game since the stupid EA app doesn't connect

[copper ice]

When they've figured out what they actually are going to do

[pine roost]

it's surprisingly hard on a heavy mouse that has no mouse mat while also being in bad posture

[pine roost]

I mean there's only one thing I really want them to do, that basically everyone else also wants them to do too

[copper ice]

They're having desperate meetings every day over whether they should do what literally everyone wants them to do or the opposite

[clever lantern]

anyone having problems with origin

[pine roost]

the fact is, you cannot just nerf the weapons and expect it to fix the problem

[solid imp]

I feel this.. yesterday had a great highlight play and my instant replay wasn't working 😢

[next onyx]

I got an Octa kill with two mags with my m16 but because I just had DDU'd my drivers and that my settings aren't all there and it didn't record.

I was so sad.

[edgy oriole]

6x on rm68 = aim at chest headshots

imma use this in a real game and see

[quaint vector]

Servers are dead..

[inner cliff]

Ea servers down...

[bold bane]

EA app server is down 🙁 https://i.imgur.com/eJHCnTZ.png

[edgy oriole]

[placid echo]

Intense air combat https://streamable.com/z0afgs

[edgy oriole]

[solid imp]

[next onyx]

Servers having a stronk.

Bames jond having a stronk call the bambulance.

[solid imp]

hot damn I really wish the other person had throwing knives as well to make it a great duel

wingsuit/knives only server

[Heavily Modified][Symmetric][Full XP]

[upbeat sand]

Actually restricted xp

[quaint vector]

Sadge

[low timber]

Way, once Vault SMGs get the attachment treatment P90 better get heavy suppressors and subsonics later in the line 👀

Like they don’t even need to remodel a subsonics P90 mag as PF51 already has it

[fresh lintel]

Wingsuit Throwing knives only sounds like fun

Like Instagib levels of fun

[upbeat sand]

What I wonder is how bullet velocity is gonna work on vault weapons now

Like are the bullets gonna be the same as rn or have 2042's base game speed

[remote kiln]

neither

they're not touching balance patches until after the first initial waves of attachments

[solid imp]

vtol jet harassing a hovercraft

[rocky bear]

bro was not having it

[pine roost]

all because I was shredding in ultrakill 😎

[gloomy latch]

[gusty needle]

lemme check

[nocturne viper]

yup servers down for me too

have been utter shiite these past 2 days

[gusty needle]

[gusty needle]

not in my experience

[gloomy latch]

apparently servers are down according to status checking websites

[nocturne viper]

maybee its the time i login, but yesterday evening tried too play... nothing servers down, tuesday night? same thing

[livid swift]

https://twitter.com/EAHelp/status/1654116969195470853?s=20

[remote kiln]

yes it's down

origin multiplayer and logging in are mostly all down

[livid swift]

right on time with EU coming back home yay

[gloomy latch]

its great how this also affects non multiplayer games cuz the launcher wont open

[edgy oriole]

run the game through exe

[gusty needle]

may be able to launch the exe directly

[upbeat sand]

Good thing I'm in oce so server maintenance and errors mainly happen when I'm sleeping

[livid swift]

welcome to 2023 gaming...

[sour meadow]

rip ea servers

[gusty needle]

was there any news on vault weapon tier 1 skins?

[sour meadow]

nop

i asked earlier

[livid swift]

probably not coming. You think they would invest the time to make all those unique skins :))

[manic barn]

I’m trying to play battlefront 2 and it ain’t working

[gusty needle]

idk

[sour meadow]

i can't launch the ea app on pc

[gusty needle]

i got every gun tier 1 id expect to have a skin for each ig

[gloomy latch]

yea EA servers having a stroke

[upbeat sand]

I'm mostly fine with third party launchers as long as they don't eat my cpu

What I do hate is how people are starting to only put the launcher on steam so you have to download it by going to steam then launching the launcher so that other launcher can download the game

[gusty needle]

thats been a thing forever

[sour meadow]

rip battlelog

[solid imp]

I mean... even battlelog would have taken a dive with this wide of an EA outage

and I enjoyed battlelog, wish it would come back

[gusty needle]

games used to have independent launchers youd have to go through before opening it regardless of whether you got the game on steam or not

[gloomy latch]

ubisoft's launcher suspended my brand new account when i tried r6 incredibly based

[upbeat sand]

What I mean is when they force you to download the actual game instead of it through steam
