battlefield-2042

[copper ice]

i used the drilling a ton and it only failed me as much as any of the guns in that game did

[jade stratus]

funny, because then you’d think snipers be insane in 2042

But nope

[fervent rose]

yes but the input on both movement and aiming is shit

strafing feels horrible compared to any other bf game

[copper ice]

use close combat ammo, they have the wrong values for it and it doubles minimum btk

[slender isle]

They are???

[fresh lintel]

In this game: 12m is simply a 2 shot or 4 shot at slight range.

880 depends on your crosshair placement. And your ability to follow up because even in CQC itll whiff.

And the NVK is what the 12m wants to be because theres 10 shells of buckshot down a hallway in half a second.

[copper ice]

its been like a year and they still havent fixed it

[jade stratus]

gets pp29ed from halfway across the dunes of quatar

[random breach]

sorry not up on the acronyms

btk?

[jade stratus]

no because assault rifles are automatic versions

[fervent rose]

it 4 shots people out to 20

[jade stratus]

Bullets to kill

[copper ice]

i fudged that myself lmao, it means you go from 4 bullets to kill up to 10 metres to 4 bullets to kill up to 20m

every other ammo type on pbx has 4btk 10m

[random breach]

:O

[copper ice]

close combat has 4btk 20m

they refuse to fix this

so may as well abuse it

[jade stratus]

Yeah funny “close combat” has better range than standard

[fervent rose]

that isn't broken or incorrect for them

[jade stratus]

goofy

[slender isle]

HA if you’re not using them at their proper distance you’re dumb. Thanks to people running snipers on close quarters they had to remove the 1 hit kill to the chest potential

[random breach]

i hope the vault weapon overhaul brings some new items to the meta

[fervent rose]

it has better ttk at close range but outside of those ranges standard is better

[slender isle]

But coming from someone who’s T1d them all, snipers are cracked if you hit their shots

[fervent rose]

it's not ever gonna change

[slender isle]

M16 will be the new best AR I can promise you that

[jade stratus]

That’s honestly funny, I abused the crap out of the ntw in s2

[random breach]

boris rework plz

[fervent rose]

plus menu ammo stuff put them in a position to make weird shit like pbx cc build @copper ice

[slender isle]

Ntw still does, but the sws, dxr, and GOL don’t anymore

[copper ice]

12m has the capability to 1hk, it is just hilariously inconsistent man
880 depends on if god favours you or not in that exact microsecond
nvk is if you hate yourself and want to spend 3 minutes reloading after having to dump your entire mag to kill two guys 10 metres away

[random breach]

rpt is not that bad for the lmgs

[fervent rose]

not that bad

[random breach]

lcmy, avacnys, and rpt are all dece

[fervent rose]

all the lmgs are busted

[copper ice]

to my knowledge, sym stats for the pbx are still accurate

[fervent rose]

even the bad portal lmgs are good

[copper ice]

https://i.imgur.com/eSJuzhw.png

which shows that standard isnt really better

[next onyx]

I feel as if the s22 was designed with the engineer proficiency in mind.

The original prof.

[copper ice]

between 40m and 50m (lol) and between 75m and 100m (also lol)

its unlike close combat ammo for literally any other gun in the game

has to be an accident they refuse to align

[next onyx]

S22 isn't terrible per say because if you can manage your reloads literally. You can make it work.

But why use it when the 12m exists.

[jade stratus]

They’re just slower assault rifles with 4x the ammo

[copper ice]

the snipers arent insane in 2042 because 90% of the weapons people are running can beam full auto over 100m

why would you ever need a sniper

[fervent rose]

standard has better bullet velocity, which that graph doesnt include

[next onyx]

If the 12m didn't have a 20 round literal box and the s22 had a better reload (2 shells per cycle and a capacity of 8) then it would be competitive.

[fervent rose]

trust me standard is actually better than cc at range on pbx

[copper ice]

with 340 and 400 velocity you're throwing peas at them

regardless of option

[next onyx]

Velocity is a deal breaker.

[fervent rose]

i'd rather switch to an AR in the event i don't want to use cc pbx anyway

[copper ice]

goddamn that is some shit velocity

[fervent rose]

thats the funny part

[next onyx]

I want to meme with long barrel heavy ammo LCMG.

[copper ice]

yeah that's my point mainly

[fervent rose]

why even bother switching ammo type when gun switch is the correct call

you dont have 2x headshots anymore

[copper ice]

if you're not using cc pbx you immediately do better by using literally any other gun

[next onyx]

How high is its velocity with high power long?

[copper ice]

providing sym is still accurate,
https://i.imgur.com/R2YrnRh.png

[next onyx]

I might give the LCMG a proper go to be fair.

[fervent rose]

529 but then you're down to shit rpm

[next onyx]

Yeah. Though super high velocity for range.

[fervent rose]

and more recoil

[copper ice]

goddamn the smgs have fucking doodoo velocity

[next onyx]

Long barrel should TECHNICALLY reduce the build up.

[fervent rose]

Either way smgs are shit at range ever since the headshot changes

[random breach]

i really only used the pp29

it just feels cooler with the battlepass skin lol

[copper ice]

pp29 has a very generous damage model

[fervent rose]

pp29 is the best one to use

[random breach]

dice were cookin when they gave it a 50+ rd mag

[fervent rose]

it makes up for the lack of headshot damage with great bodyshot damage unlike the rest

[arctic grove]

The only time I saw a good Little Bird pilot

[fervent rose]

the pp2000 and aksu could be good but the velocities..

[next onyx]

I feel like that if they had harsher drop off the former hs multiplier wouldn't be so "harsh"

But it's like.

They're already pretty bad at range because of their velocity and accuracy.

Pp29 is annoying I hate it.

Ak74u though. If it had the hs multiplier it would unironicaly be a really good weapon for the dedicated medics cause literally. Carbine.

[copper ice]

the hs multiplier is so dumb

unbelievably stupid change

[fervent rose]

pp2000 and aksu should have 2x for sure

[random breach]

i only really started playing this game this year so i only know as much as i have seen this season

rm68 is just a cheat gun

[fervent rose]

yep. cant wait to see next seasons cheat gun

i hope we get a deagle that 1 shots to the chest out to 15m

[random breach]

they did say a new weapon had a 50

[copper ice]

tbh they should give mcs 880 slugs 1hk out to 20m

give it a reason to live

[next onyx]

Not even a hot take. Railgun wasn't near as bad as the Rm.

[fervent rose]

eh

railgun took effort, rm68 in even the worst player's hands is busted

[random breach]

just give us ziba tower but bigger plz

[fervent rose]

launch railgun is the funniest sniper in bf history

[copper ice]

looking at the ttk charts is so silly

[fervent rose]

its still fucking hilarious how you get 20 shots per reload

[copper ice]

i cant trust any dev team that decided railgun was fine in that condition

[fervent rose]

like why 20

[copper ice]

that think it's STILL fine

20 is fucking insane for a sniper rifle

[fervent rose]

the railgun killing vehicles was

[random breach]

something that irks me in this game is that the recoiless m5 feels like a wet sock shooter

idk the bf4 launchers felt better

[fervent rose]

if you could consistently resupply the recoilless would be fine, i think

but that isnt happening in a real game of defense breakthrough

[copper ice]

it suffers from ass reload times on top of lower damage

they boosted its velocity instead of like, damage or dps

which is... not useful

[random breach]

breakthrough can really just make you lose faith in your team in an instant

[fervent rose]

redeploy is genuinely the correct play as nobody's chucking out enough ammo crates

and when that's the right play i leave the server

[copper ice]

your game design has failed if killing yourself is the objectively correct next step to take

[copper ice]

surprised you have any servers to stay in

[random breach]

hey those supports are working hard to get their medic based weekly missions done

[fervent rose]

i do leave a lot of servers

[copper ice]

i redeploy as lis even though she has infinite regen because its so slow

get two rockets out, get the AP 40mms out, reload 3rd rocket and fire, redeploy

this is stupid and should not be the optimal decision

shit game design

[fervent rose]

i'm too much of a kd whore to redeploy as boris

[copper ice]

if you're a kd whore you ain't playing boris

[fervent rose]

i go on killstreaks and have no rocket ammo

[copper ice]

[fervent rose]

and i just leave the server

[next onyx]

You'd main Mackay if you valued your KD so much.

[random breach]

what is the secret to boris

[next onyx]

Actually no.

Falck.

I forget falck mains are a thing.

Like combat falcks.

[fervent rose]

well mackay is my #1 kills

[copper ice]

the secret to boris is to see him as the joke character in single player games that has no special abilities

[next onyx]

Yeah same, Yo.

[fervent rose]

but i'm a falck spammer lately

[copper ice]

the deprived in dark souls

[next onyx]

I've been playing as dozer as of late.

[copper ice]

his turret is useless and his passive only affects his turret

[next onyx]

Cause I'm a dozer enjoyer.

[copper ice]

so he's essentially playing with an empty gadget slot

by far the shittest spec in the game

[next onyx]

In the saying.

[random breach]

he really provides nothing to the game

[next sorrel]

but his name is boris

[next onyx]

Dozer I've found to be the most normal as well.

[copper ice]

he was overtuned at the start because- as it turns out- automatic turrets tend to either be fucking annoying or useless

he went from fucking annoying to useless

[fervent rose]

better useless than launch boris

[copper ice]

i agree when he was infantry focused

[fervent rose]

i just want him to have a real anti vehicle passive

[copper ice]

the issue is that now he's supposed to be anti vehicle

but they forgot to like, actually make him do that

[fervent rose]

thats his role, boris is the vehicle launcher guy

crawford is repair bot

[final plume]

So satisfying to have one in your team.
Terrible to have them in the enemy team.

[copper ice]

right now crawford does everything boris does better

[next sorrel]

this game seems super mid

[copper ice]

apart from have a beard

imo game is 3/10

[arctic grove]

He was on the enemy team

[fervent rose]

the fps genre is like lower than mid so 2042 stays installed

[next sorrel]

you could just install the older games yknow

[copper ice]

if i had a decent alternative i wouldnt be here so much yeah

[fervent rose]

bfv got cheated to death

[copper ice]

[robust vapor]

did rpk74 and aek get nerfed?

[fervent rose]

bfv is unplayable now on pc, it was hardly tolerable years ago, now its empty

[next sorrel]

yeah i dont like paying for 3/10 games, i regret buying bf5

[random breach]

bf1, bf4 and this one are still kicking

idk if bf3 still has servers

[fervent rose]

yea and i choose 2042 over those 2

[copper ice]

bfv had wildly varying scores for me

[fervent rose]

bf1 sucks and bf4 is ancient

[copper ice]

9/10 when everything went perfectly

2/10 at it's worst

[next onyx]

Bf5 was more annoying.

[copper ice]

it was worse a hell of a lot more than it was perfect

[final plume]

Boris atm is beyond useless, his turret is like deploying a baby into the war.
Bad damage, bad range, bad HP, bad acceleration.

[fervent rose]

bfv on the like ~6 maps that i liked was a damn fine time

devastation ❤️

[copper ice]

i literally cannot play 2042 without thinking about devastation

each main third of the map being defined and feeling good

and then 2042s ass maps

[copper ice]

i have literally 0 boris turret kills and it's only ever killed me once

because i went afk in front of it

it took like 8 seconds of consecutive firing

[fervent rose]

if bfv didn't get cheated out i'd still play it for maps like devastation, marj, provence, marita

but it's properly fucked in NA

[final plume]

I have 4, hardcore mode.

[copper ice]

marita frontline

[twin ibex]

His turret is so annoying you usually get killed by someone else near the turret killing you while you're low

[copper ice]

the only 10/10 moments i ever had on bfv were on marita

loved that map

it had HOUSES

i cannot fucking believe 2042 still has no houses

these stupid ass shipping containers do not count

a single 2 story house with windows and doors and a roof

thats all im asking for

[twin ibex]

Homeless people live in that container y'know

[copper ice]

how the fuck can you make so many maps and lack a single house

[random breach]

damn generic military installation building isnt good enough for you?

[fervent rose]

best we can do is two containers stacked on each other with a staircase attached outside

enjoy

[random breach]

dice redesigned a scrapyard for us and added more scrap be grateful

[fervent rose]

hey dont you disrespect those lovely single story homes on discarded

[copper ice]

the closest thing to a house in 2042 is in order; those weird empty desert shacks which are technically brick walls with windows and a roof but they're 1 storey and totally empty on the inside
those military installations which are just shipping containers stacked with shitty windows
FUCKING SKYSCRAPERS

[next sorrel]

or any/every bf3 map

[copper ice]

how hard is it to make A SINGLE HOUSE

EVERY SINGLE MAP HAS SHIPPING CONTAINERS

HOUSES ARE MORE COMMON THAN CONTAINERS

PLEASE

[random breach]

i have ptsd fighting on the parisian city streets

[copper ice]

https://ocs-pl.oktawave.com/v1/AUTH_2887234e-384a-4873-8bc5-405211db13a2/spidersweb/2019/08/Battlefield-V-Marita-82.jpg

[random breach]

seine crossing and operation metro were peak

[copper ice]

LOOK AT THESE HOUSES

THEY HAVE DESTRUCTION

ROOFS

PLEASE

[next sorrel]

for real man, seine flowed so well in both rush and conquest

[fervent rose]

funny part is the destruction is even better on new Arica

[next sorrel]

the dlc maps for bf3 are also underrated imho

[fervent rose]

why they have good destruction on 1 map is beyond me

[copper ice]

they remembered it existed for 5 minutes

[fervent rose]

maybe some ripple effect pet project to make arica building demo fun

[random breach]

bf3 close quarters was insanity

[fervent rose]

1 guy cared

[copper ice]

one guy threw everyone out of the office and told them all to fuck off while he made shit actually destructible

[random breach]

if dice really wanted to be daring they would do 32 vs 32 shutdown

[copper ice]

if dice wanted to be daring they would make frontline the main mode of the new game

(PLEASE)

[fervent rose]

it must be temporarily renamed to shitshow

[next sorrel]

yep, i also loved end game and aftermath

and ofc armored kill and b2k are classics

[fervent rose]

are there even 4 maps that would work as frontlines

[copper ice]

in 2042?

god fucking no

[random breach]

i shot my first jet out of the sky with a tank on gulf of oman

[fervent rose]

flashpoint could work maybe

[copper ice]

i played one game of frontline when it was the weekly event on that dogshit shipping container docks map

i was literally the only person on my whole team who made it to the obj before it got captured

4 times in a row

[random breach]

manifest is so cheeks

[copper ice]

every time it got capped the whole rest of the team was at the previous obj

2042 playerbase is too stupid for frontlines

maps too big

[random breach]

its like norshar canals but with no fucking cover

[fervent rose]

manifest is my least favorite

[copper ice]

frontline was good on most maps in bfv but it fucking SUCKED on hamada

and all 2042 maps are hamada

everyone hated hamada and everyone hated elite soldiers and they make their next game focused entirely on those two concepts

pain

[fervent rose]

at least on hourglass i can roll the lobby in a tank. and if its like the discarded rework im ready for that

[copper ice]

the 2042 vehicles are so boring compared to bfv i cant even make myself tank

[fervent rose]

manifest is play mackay or suffer

[copper ice]

manifest is so fucking insanely mackay favoured

horrendously poorly designed

what if 40% of the map could only be accessed by a single specialist

[fervent rose]

most random shit ive ever played in an fps

buncha random dudes grappling all over the place

[copper ice]

what if you were surrounded by massive lego blocks but only one dude can climb them

[random breach]

i havent played any games on hourglass or kaleidoscope

i never get it in rotation

[fervent rose]

lucky

[copper ice]

kaleidoscope is fucking ass

[next sorrel]

whats the best battlefield map

[random breach]

in 2042

[fervent rose]

devastation

[copper ice]

hourglass is also ass

[fervent rose]

but for 2042? spearhead

sensible terrain for once?

i was amazed

[next sorrel]

of all time

[copper ice]

man going through the ea website maps for bfv vs maps for 2042 is heartbreaking

[fervent rose]

its hard to think of a better conquest map in any bf than devastation

[next onyx]

What was the assignment to get the m16?

Wasn't it 100 SCAR kills and 50 GL kills?

[fervent rose]

grenade launcher spam right?

[next onyx]

Sorry to split the topic.

[next sorrel]

devastation of rotterdam?

[copper ice]

https://media.contentapi.ea.com/content/dam/bf/images/2018/10/bfv-devistationdeployscreen.jpg.adapt.crop16x9.1455w.jpg

it just worked baby

[next onyx]

Rotterdam was really fucking good.

But devastation was also amazing.

[fervent rose]

yea the bombed out one

[next sorrel]

it was good but i would not call it the best

[copper ice]

https://media.contentapi.ea.com/content/dam/bf/images/2018/10/bfv-rotterdamdeployscreen-web.jpg.adapt.crop16x9.1455w.jpg

[fervent rose]

it had flow, but infinite flanks. and great line of sight design

devastation is incredibly good

[copper ice]

i would kill for a single map in 2042 to play as well as devastation

[random breach]

ziba tower, grand bazaar, pearl market, paracel storm, nebandan flats

good memories on those

[next sorrel]

oh man nebandan flats

that map i feel was really good on every mode

maybe not the best at every mode

but it was a solid rush map, solid ctf map, and solid conquest map

always a good time

[random breach]

nothing beat dirt bike hunting with javelins on CTF

[next sorrel]

hah yea

[fervent rose]

i wish we could get a map like mashtuur city again

that setup was fun as fuck, infantry with 1 transport heli per side

[random breach]

i wish i played bc2 when it was active

everyone loves bc2 vietnam

[next sorrel]

there is one good EU rush server, generally alive from 12-4 that runs every map including vietnam

it is boosted tho

[calm bison]

This is your reminder that the woman who does the narration and objective updates for BF1 is also in Sea of Thieves

[random breach]

objective butter

is there any lore video on bf2042

i know its about war for resources but who is oz

[calm bison]

Oz is a former South African soldier who now leads the Non-Patriated

Basically here is your reading material

The Exodus Short

Intel Wars Podcast

The 2042 intro

As well as the numerous season Easter eggs

Currently all of the specialists are enemies of the US

[random breach]

where's recker in all this

the silent man with the plan

[calm bison]

Recker is supposedly retired

[small marsh]

shhhhhhhh

[dapper river]

and yet they still fight for them because...
because...?!??

wow dice didn't think this one through huh

[sage dock]

Irish can't be an enemy of the United States.

There is no way.

[wheat iron]

Bro Hes fighting for russia also

In BfV you Had different countries and different Specialists or Charakters in Bf 2042 you have the Same troops in every Site.

[wheat iron]

So this means even Irish is fighting in russian side and USA Side

[arctic grove]

That’s why I don’t like em

[wheat iron]

What exactly BfV or Bf 2042 ?

The Charakters?

[arctic grove]

Specialists, sorry, I worded that weird

[wheat iron]

Ye they are Shit because you dont have a normal Trooper you have a Specialist and it is Feeling Like in CoD

In BfV you Had a Trooper and No Special abilities that was good Bro

[arctic grove]

At least CoD gives both sides milsim characters which is AMAZING

[arctic grove]

Agreed

[wheat iron]

Yea but this is CoD Franchise and Not Bf

[arctic grove]

BF1 is my favorite for factions, every faction had superb modeled character skins

[wheat iron]

Yea that is even better

Agreed

[wheat iron]

But i Hope in year 2 they are adding a new country with different skins

[arctic grove]

The problem with 2042 is it’s theme feels very weak. Not only because of the lack of a campaign, but I never really feel like I’m fighting for literally anything when both sides use the same character models

[arctic grove]

Ah I doubt it man. I’ve mostly moved on from the idea personally. New DICE said if they were in charge they’d never do specialists anyways. 2042 was just an unfortunate DICE and EA fuckup that just leaves a lot of potential

But I always mention it on feedback lel

[wheat iron]

Totally agreed

[small marsh]

nosehair canals

[arctic grove]

All I want is a cool military theme and decent post launch content

[wheat iron]

100% agreed

Can i DM you? @arctic grove ?

[sage dock]

Damn!

[wheat iron]

? @arctic grove

[arctic grove]

What do you need to dm me for?

[slender isle]

M16A3 is so fucking good omg

[wheat iron]

Just to Talk Abt Bf and maybe Play ? You Seen to be a nice Guy and ligit. @arctic grove

[plain hamlet]

i would have liked it if every specialist had two models for the country ur fighting for

but ig that’s too difficult

[wheat iron]

Agreed

[plain hamlet]

so instead we’re just switching every battle, cause i suppose the russians and america keep upping the money every battle?

[wheat iron]

Would be nice

[plain hamlet]

since personally i don’t even mind the specialists, i think it adds some variety and non of em feel the same way as a COD specialist

[wheat iron]

?? I dont Unserstand lol

[plain hamlet]

but it does break the atmosphere a lil

[wheat iron]

But did you Play BfV?

[plain hamlet]

yeah

played 1, 5 and 2042

[wheat iron]

So do oyu know why BfV feels so good?

[plain hamlet]

well cause it feels like you’re in an actual army ig

[next onyx]

Because they game actually works.

[plain hamlet]

i’m not saying the old way of classes only didn’t have variety lmao, just saying that i don’t mind the new specialist and i don’t hate them as a lot of others do

[wheat iron]

Yes you are a japanese defending the Lord and fighting for Honor

[plain hamlet]

defending the lord?

[wheat iron]

I dont know Kaiser? Or somethibg else

[arctic grove]

Older BFs are just more immersive and engaging cause their themes appear in every aspect

[plain hamlet]

wasn’t that a thing in the 1700’s lmao

[arctic grove]

Kaiser was German

[plain hamlet]

but i get what ur saying

[arctic grove]

Emporer was Japan

[plain hamlet]

well clearly we’re not historians

[arctic grove]

[arctic grove]

Nah it’s all good, just saying

[plain hamlet]

[wheat iron]

Yes agreed

[plain hamlet]

but yeah 2042 isn’t really a war anymore

[wheat iron]

But good Thing is its Not pay to win

[plain hamlet]

gameplay feels fun, but it’s a little empty

[wheat iron]

Ye and thats the Main Game thats Missing

[arctic grove]

Gameplay could be a LOT better if firing input just got fixed. We also need a lot of in game mechanics

[wheat iron]

Like what?

[wheat iron]

?

[arctic grove]

Crouch running, reinforcements, subclasses, specializations, etc

[plain hamlet]

remove AT mines so i’ll remain a menace in my brawler

[arctic grove]

Maybe we can play some time but I don’t friend people I don’t know all that well

[ebon pilot]

keep AT mines because funny

[twin ibex]

Pp29 has no recoil even with attachments wtf

[wheat iron]

Kk

[twin ibex]

It's literally so accurate for a smg

[arctic grove]

I hate how DICE made them harder to see. They’re unpredictable as is. But at least you can normally see them if you at least glance in front of you

idk though

[plain hamlet]

i’m not even kidding, 90% of my deaths in the brawler are cause of mines

[arctic grove]

Tanks have enough shit to worry about and dice just intentionally makes mines harder to see. Great

As if I’m not constantly 360 scanning because dice overlooked sundances balancing vs tanks

[plain hamlet]

i’ve had times where in panick i see them last second, leave the tank, just to see they were friendly mines lmao

[arctic grove]

[plain hamlet]

always

ALWAYS THE SUNDANCE

at least in the brawler i can pull a fast one on them with grenades

[wheat iron]

Why sundance isnt? sundance a mid specialist

[plain hamlet]

no

there is a reason why u see so many of them

[wheat iron]

And why ?

[plain hamlet]

they will swoop down from a tall building a billion meters away with their C4

[wheat iron]

Mh kk

[arctic grove]

Sundance is meh vs infantry but busted vs all ground vehicles because they have bad mobility and Sundance can literally fly up behind them from across the map

That never existed in BF before

You always had to sneak up on tanks

[plain hamlet]

ur minding ur own business, shooting some folk, sundance flies like a damn squirrel behind u and before u know what’s happening u have been blown up

[wheat iron]

Never Happend before lol

But OK

[arctic grove]

Tanks are a headache to play because Lis and Sundance

You can’t stay still. But if you stay still, you get peppered by Lis

[wheat iron]

Na when you Play good No Problem

[plain hamlet]

it happening literally every single time i dare to enter a tank

it’s not always success

but they will try

and try

[arctic grove]

I mean yeah in game modes like breakthrough tanks can be decent

[wheat iron]

Bro when i Play 128 its easy with Tank because Kills coming every second

[plain hamlet]

they will try until i’m scanning my surroundings 360 all the time and i run over an at mine

[wheat iron]

Mines are predictable

Very predictable because i know every Map where they gonna Place it

[plain hamlet]

ghost we get it, ur a god in tanks and have never been killed

[wheat iron]

Yes ive been killed very often

But Not because lis

[arctic grove]

I’ve only had consistent fun in 2042 vehicles as breakthrough attackers

[wheat iron]

Or sundance

[plain hamlet]

same tbh

but i don’t even take tanks anymore

it’s brawler time

[arctic grove]

Tor and brawler

[wheat iron]

My worst enemy is Boris because He is my Most hated enemy

No the manuell rockets

You cant Jam them with smoke

Only with anti defending machine

true yeah, recoiless are annoying, but only if there are multiple people using them

u don’t know true fear until you go into an AI match and they will all instantly turn around with 10 recoiless and 100% accuracy AI ain’t shit but boy why are they so accurate with that thing

[carmine rover]

i need to go prone?

[naive quiver]

the final project is BF 2042 sad

[carmine rover]

why are they giving us a tutorial on how to deploy the bipod

they said “ARD Bipod” when its the ADR bipod

😭

[magic bloom]

Unfortunate

[carmine rover]

😭

[magic bloom]

A legendary M1A5 Skin

Finally

[carmine rover]

did u know in the beta in battlefield 3 the bipod was available on the AKS 74u

but when the game released it was removed

[magic bloom]

Why is dozer white in his new Skin

[carmine rover]

dozer has new arm tats also

[magic bloom]

I Liked the old ones better

[carmine rover]

i dont understand. how can he just remove his tats and put on new ones

skin doesnt work like that

[magic bloom]

Well i mean

[low timber]

Anghel is the same

[magic bloom]

Laser removal but it takes awhile

[carmine rover]

anghel has finger tats for his tier 1 but for Base commander he has an entire sleeve

[low timber]

He has tattoos on his T1 skin that don’t exist on his other skins with arms visible

[carmine rover]

and no finger tats

Sundance face and neck tattoo are removed in one of her bundles

and so is Boris

[tacit sphinx]

theres so much wrong with this lol

tbf when was it written

[arctic grove]

hi everyone

[mighty holly]

Drx lad

How’s it been lad it’s been eons

[tacit sphinx]

but also all the lmgs + the k30 have bipods available, you could always mount on surfaces as well, and if it’s more recent than idk like season 1 you can crawl while ADS with a bipod (early on you couldn’t crawl at all while ADS which was honestly kind of interesting as a mechanic)

[glossy scarab]

Im in Australia and match making is failing, can't connect to any games in any mode. Anyone else having issues getting a game

[tacit sphinx]

it has lol, im doing alright

[arctic grove]

i have a question is there an easy way i can get marksmen kills with a distance of 100m or more? im new and so far i am not a fan of the starter marksmen rifles

[mighty holly]

not sure If I said this before but after looking at your profile I thought you where from NA not a European lad

[plain hamlet]

svk

has great 2 tap range and definitely best for long range also

[tacit sphinx]

did you never wonder why you had like 150 ping when you came to kamikaze me

yeah lol

idk why

[carmine rover]

it doesnt say

yeah the k30 has bipod

lol

[mighty holly]

no

All I knew is that I had a mission to do

which I almost succeeded but you lived and a fecker finished you off

"Defamation of character" or some shit.

[next sorrel]

virtual insanity

[pine roost]

I mean Gemini hasn’t really don’t a whole lot to try and prove his innocence. Removing comments from your videos, deleting your Twitter account and bashing everyone who says anything about it doesn’t really give off the ‘im innocent’ vibe

[next sorrel]

who is gemini and who is silk

[pine roost]

Silk is a bf youtuber and competetive player who specialises in aircraft gameplay

[fickle wharf]

Silk is real pro and gemini is some shitter

[pine roost]

And Gemini I’ve only been watching since the release of 2042 but he was making videos on helicopters and jet gameplay, but it turns out he was using silent aim hacks and has a history of seeking cheats

[next sorrel]

lol

[low timber]

Apparently he even sells them, according to the video Silk made

[next sorrel]

and this dude is going to waste time and money for some defamation lawsuit

[pine roost]

I mean the evidence is clear as day to prove he did it, so it’s pointless

[low timber]

Link the proof video for him

[pine roost]

What’s ironic is that silk even said the reason he got back into making videos on jet gameplay was because he watched some of gemini’s videos. A week later he exposes him

Indeed

His discord was up for a while, people making threads and memes. It’s probably been closed down now but I left after I found out

[arctic grove]

if i use the soflam from bf3 can i unlock the gol magnum like that?

it says i need to spot 100 enemies with the soflam but in 2042 era the soflam is a lv 56 unlock so can i unlock the gol early by playing bo3 era?

[edgy oriole]

if you look at unlock requirements itll tell you. vault weapons usually say "use this vault weapon or 2042 weapon to get kills" and another challenge

[arctic grove]

im sorry im new so so its difficult for meh lol

[patent path]

reminds me of wheatus

[gritty tapir]

Are the helicopter crosshairs not supposed to represent where your rockets will go or what

[spare quest]

Why would they do that

[remote kiln]

no rockets come out of the rocket pod of the location, the crosshair is a guide on the target

it's the same with guns, bullets do not fire from from the crosshair

[mighty holly]

[carmine rover]

i found the saddest hazard zone player 🥹

[upbeat sand]

how

does someone get into a hazard zone match

[carmine rover]

hazard zone is pretty active in NA

[dusk hedge]

I played since beta only doing 1 match in this mode and never again

[edgy oriole]

same i think i did a single match

[dusk hedge]

Jo What means the patchnote „more damage with laser marks“? I don’t understand it Bcs bad translation in German

[edgy oriole]

rao adds lock ons to enemy vehicles for friendly vehicles with hack. so air to ground missles i think. and trans helos take full damage from rockets now

idk how much lock on increases damage tho

[dusk hedge]

Oke Ty

[warm stirrup]

Actually it's an air vehicle buff

Air to ground missile buff

Not ground to air

[edgy oriole]

i thought thats what i said

[warm stirrup]

Seems you stated damage towards choppers is increased

[edgy oriole]

yeah trans helos take full explosive damage now

instead of just splash

[warm stirrup]

That's false tho

[edgy oriole]

i thought that what it said

and its noticable

[warm stirrup]

Air to ground missiles got buffed

[edgy oriole]

am i reading it wrong?

[warm stirrup]

Meaning air vehicles can destroy ground vehicles easier

[warm stirrup]

Did not see this

Sort of a buff and nerf i guess?

[edgy oriole]

ah i was like hol up

they said their translation was weird so i just wanted to include all of the changes just incase

[warm stirrup]

Idk why they buffed air missiles, choppers and jets were op enough as is

[edgy oriole]

they are trying to persuade people to stop inf farming and attack vehicles more. is my guess.

[warm stirrup]

Probably

[chilly jacinth]

Jets are okay

They aren't even close to being op

[fresh lintel]

Yeah but given how slow the vehicle respawns are and how little of them you get per map its going to just be

Little bird or jet kills tank and MAV.

Little bird of jet farms infantry

[dusk hedge]

Anti Tank mine is op

[fresh lintel]

And yeah, especially that VTOL one. I rarely see jets do anything to ground.

VTOLs get TGM'd

[edgy oriole]

man when i see a vtol. i m5 that bad boy so fast

i would say vtol would prolly be easier to pull off in BT now but they took jets out of BT

[dusk hedge]

Makes M5 more damage then Lis gadget?

[chilly jacinth]

M5 does more damage

[edgy oriole]

m5 is stronger. lis gadget pretty weak. only good at securing jobs or if there is a squad of lis working together

[dusk hedge]

But I like Anti tank mine and LIS

[warm stirrup]

Imagine 64 lis all using their tow missiles in unison?

Flying a nightbird and you see 64 missiles flying towards you

[dusk hedge]

Nightbird is oneshot right?

[warm stirrup]

Yee

[dusk hedge]

Nice

How many anti tank mines for every ground vehicle?

[warm stirrup]

12

[dusk hedge]

What

[warm stirrup]

[chilly jacinth]

3 kills any vehicle

[warm stirrup]

Tuk tuk is 4

[dusk hedge]

Haha

Rpt is goat

[bitter mulch]

Is the New the tank bundle hinting towards the New season 5 map? 🤔Alot of forest

[edgy oriole]

i never played bf4 so idk if flashpoint is the bf4 remake if it isnt. then season 5 is the bf4 remake. SO if there is a forest map in bf4 maybe that is the hint.

if its boat related then it wont be anything like that clearly

[rocky bear]

i did not realize spawns worked even if im on top of it

thats kinda broke ig

[dusk hedge]

S5 is a snow map I guess?

[rocky bear]

we need a good jungle map

swamp i should say ig

[arctic grove]

yes

that would be cool

[edgy oriole]

what do you mean spawns working when you are ontop of it?

[rocky bear]

like on hourglass, behind a2 in the dome theres a crate that is apparently a point spawn

i was on the crate and like 4 enemies spawned next to me

i thought it forced them to a different spot if you were on it

i guess not

[edgy oriole]

makes sense. manifest was like that before the rework

[bitter mulch]

Yessss

[edgy oriole]

so hourglass will be like that until its rework

[rocky bear]

yea that makes sense

[edgy oriole]

why cant they hotfix better spawns. idk im not a game dev

[bitter mulch]

No, flashpoint is not from bf4. Zavod remake is coming in s5 and yes its from bf4 and alot od forest too

[edgy oriole]

then you heard it here first

im tom middleton

or whoever that nerd is

[bitter mulch]

Maybe a Little snow here and there but not the whole map

[plain hamlet]

game really spawns u right in front of enemy sights

i feel bad for all the people i killed right after they spawned on their squad mate

[chrome steppe]

Hello 🦦

[shadow hazel]

Morning mates. Hope everyone has a great day today!

[edgy oriole]

i think imma finish t1 rm68 today

then play crossbow all day

as rao

[neon igloo]

If hourglass is the map I think it is, I wish they added a bf3 kind of destruction to it.

Having those sky scrapers fall over and then allowing us to run through the buildings on their side would be fun.

[edgy oriole]

hourglass has bc/bc2 destrustion but the issue is there is wasted space and memory with the 45% of the map being empty desert and another portion is wasted sky scrapers

[neon igloo]

lots of wasted space.

[mental delta]

This map has the most important potential out of them all, there's so much to make with the urban area

[neon igloo]

The amount of sand dunes is ridiculous. I don't see how those dunes would have formed so quickly.

[mental delta]

Yeah and they're useless, what's the point of playing on a big literal sand box

[neon igloo]

All those sand dunes do is provide head glitches.

[edgy oriole]

hourglass rn is good as a vehicle only map tho. i enjoyed that tbh

[mental delta]

The map's size needs to be reduced and they need to get rid off all the parts of the map which don't feature any cover

[mental delta]

Yeah I could give it credit for that, might be real fun to play 24 vs 24 tank battles

[edgy oriole]

they used to do it for portal in community but they stopped

now its just tdm variants

[neon igloo]

They should bring back Close Quarters.

[gloomy crown]

fr

[remote kiln]

they should but don't think they will

becomes an easy money maker for the next title

[mental delta]

Yeah after 1 year of post-release development I think it's obvious all maps are made out of the same model, big maps which allow the same vehicle's count

[solid imp]

shutdown and tactical conquest aren't that far from close quarters

[mental delta]

What do you mean ?

[remote kiln]

close quarters the DLC is highly sought after, no point implementing it post launch half way through (assuming year 2) of a game

[mental delta]

I think he meant close quarters maps entirely, like not just some area for determined gamemodes

[remote kiln]

makes more sense to add it into the next game

[mental delta]

Ha yes true, the next game has so much to offer in terms of content that we didn't get in this game

[remote kiln]

you'll be waiting a while for it at a minimum

[mental delta]

I saw some people saying next game would be easier to develop as BF2042 was the first game to use their new engine and now they know how to use it, I hope it's true

Yup 2025 at least but if I had a guess I would say 2026

[solid imp]

yeah that's fair about dedicated maps, but in the end there's not that much difference between something like Donya Fortress and say... The Stadium ™️ on Hourglass

[full finch]

Interesting.

[solid imp]

if they were to implement Tactical CQ on The Stadium

[remote kiln]

colonel just stalking chat

[solid imp]

😄

[full finch]

You know it.

[mental delta]

I sent it yesterday lol because some people here seemed to think it would come out in 2024

[remote kiln]

lol yeah game just magically comes out within less than a year and half

[full finch]

@solid imp Massive respect for Rocket League, good stuff!

[mental delta]

Lmaooo no you can't just say those words and let me on that, please say something else

[remote kiln]

people are smoking some good stuff if they think that

[solid imp]

ha thanks... rocket league reminds me daily why sbmm is garbage and hopefully stays out of BF forever 😄

[mental delta]

Some people even thought it would come out in 2023

[remote kiln]

lehto probably hasn't even finished the base design for the next campaign yet but 2024 is what people are expecting

[full finch]

Not allowed to say much else.

[remote kiln]

colonel you said much else that's not allowed

[full finch]

I have? 🤔

[mental delta]

It seems that preproduction for the next title just started in 2022 so yeah, I don't see it coming before 2025 or even 2026 at least

[remote kiln]

it's there the 2 words

much else

[mental delta]

Sad, I hope you keep up the good work and get to see amazing things being made on the next title though

[solid imp]

I hope it doesn't come out in 2024... look, everyone complained about 2042 getting rushed, changing focus, not enough time to do this, that, and the other.

Just take your time

Develop the game

[remote kiln]

2026 is a bit far

[solid imp]

Involve the community as early as possible (Canary BF channel when )

[remote kiln]

announcement probably Q3/4 2024 and a 2025 release

[rocky bear]

i mean look at payday lmao

[remote kiln]

I'd expect so anyways

[mental delta]

Idk it seems fair to me, AAA games usually require at least 5 years of development, if it began in 2022 it shouldn't come out before 2026 to me but I guess you know better than me lol, my sayings are just pure guessing

[neon igloo]

I really like the new mod they released yesterday. They had this back in bfV.

[mental delta]

After 10 years it finally comes out this year

[rocky bear]

hopefully lol

[remote kiln]

not anymore, Wilson commented in 2021 that battlefield was turning into a iterative project cycle, it's a 3 year cycle now, 4 optimistically

[neon igloo]

I bet it will be out next year, completely broken like 2042 and will get a stable game in 4 years like 2042 lol

[remote kiln]

considering the project is being split across multiple studios I wouldn't expect it to take 5 years either

[mental delta]

What do you mean by "iterative project cycle" ? I think they might split experiences now btw, I mean campaign and MP will sure release together in the same game but their third experience could release later

[mental delta]

Ho it better release in 2023

[rocky bear]

proper trailer summer 2023

[remote kiln]

iterative project cycle means you begin the production of a project near immediately after the next, not designing or even building the game, but getting what you want to do in place

[rocky bear]

next update summer 2024

[remote kiln]

infrastructure logistics mostly depends on the project ofc

[mental delta]

Like preproduction ?

[rocky bear]

need payday pals pls send

[remote kiln]

pre-pre-production, really

[mental delta]

Gameplay in summer, release in autumn

[rocky bear]

i hope so

honestly it would be hard for them to screw it up so im pretty optimistic

[remote kiln]

now how that changed at DICE given the restructuring is an open question

but the content will have been there for what the next game would have (and been mostly finished (not finished design wise)) for a bit now

[mental delta]

It's been 10 years so it should be good, I hope they will update it constantly on consoles though unlike they did with PayDay 2

[rocky bear]

yeah hopefully they learned the lesson with that one

[wide shore]

Don’t get me started

[mental delta]

I hope it features better content and most importantly classes

[rocky bear]

more medic bags

[mental delta]

No please, express yourself I want to hear your thoughts

[remote kiln]

I mean it's not really an open question if the next game has it or not now

[wide shore]

Being a console payday fan is like eating a pile of crap and saying “thanks Almir!”

[remote kiln]

patch notes are a little too transparent sometimes

[mental delta]

What do you mean ? I see people saying it will sure feature specialists back and a lot of other people who are saying quite the opposite so I'm a bit lost

[remote kiln]

lol definitely not

read the patch notes on the developer comments, they glean a lot of detail

tldr is paraphrasing but they said they can't "remove them since they're already in the game"

[mental delta]

I turned to the bright side on the force and play it on PC now, it's like hearing Zain from BF2042 constantly whispering "welcome to the new world" in my hears now

[remote kiln]

extrapolate that out

[rocky bear]

wait till these guys hear about backspace

[mental delta]

I'll aks you to be a bit more clear lol please, my English isn't that good idk where you want to go to

[remote kiln]

#battlefield-2042 message

[wide shore]

I really enjoy Payday 2, even with the inferior version. But I really hope they commit to parity. Because it’ll be a massive blunder if they don’t.

[edgy oriole]

i wish i could take the helm off the bp 100 skin

[mental delta]

Yeah but I know they won't remove them from BF2042, but I was talking about the next game, like some people are saying it won't disappear and some other think it will completely disappear and tbh their multiple surveys tend to go that way

[remote kiln]

that's the point

[neon igloo]

The next game they need to go back to every other bf.

[remote kiln]

if they're wanting to remove them from the current game, there is a grand total of 0 chance they return

[mental delta]

PayDay 2 is 100 times funnier on PC because it got a lot more DLCs so yeah I hope PayDay 3 features the same amount of content on both PC and consoles

[remote kiln]

specialists as a conception isn't really something you can iterate on anyways, it's not liked by a large portion of the playerbase, and it would stagnate eventually

[wide shore]

Battlefield, learning from their previous games? No shot.

[mental delta]

But who wants to remove them from the current game lol ? Now that it's in BF2042 they won't remove them

[remote kiln]

..

reread the comment

[wide shore]

A lot of people wanted them removed. But they committed to it this game since they’re already there. And the comment leads us to believe they’re already not considering them for the next title.

[remote kiln]

^

same goes for locking guns etc

[mental delta]

Next game takes more chances if it features classes back yeah, customization will be even easier anyway

[neon igloo]

If they just remake BF3 or BF4, trillion dollar game.

[remote kiln]

heck there was a literal entire section about locking guns in the patch notes

[wide shore]

We don’t need remakes.

[mental delta]

Their surveys constantly ask people what they think about it so yeah, I don't see specialists ever come again

[neon igloo]

We dont need the wheel to be remade either though. If they try that we get specialist.

[remote kiln]

remaking BF3 and BF4 would be a commercial failure as much as people on hopium say otherwise

[neon igloo]

I disagree.

[wide shore]

I certainly don’t wanna play bf4 again

[quaint vector]

All we need is what we had in BF3 + BF4 = Awesome BF Game

Not remake

New game

[remote kiln]

you can disagree, but DICE don't agree with you

they'd already floated it years ago

even went as far as to ask the community even

big surprise but nobody's paying $60/70 for a game that is that good you can't "remaster"

[wide shore]

BF3 map design, visual destruction & tone. BF4 weapon variety. That’d be cool with me

[remote kiln]

no amount of changing the base maps is ever going to live up to people's expectations

[neon igloo]

I could get onboard with this.

I wish they would remove the multiplayer narrative at he beginning of each map.

[quaint vector]

Just please don't include the BF3 Sun light...

[remote kiln]

or the suppression

or half the bugs that still exist in the game

[wide shore]

Or the flashlight

Yeesh

[chilly jacinth]

they should reuse the bf3 netcode

its so good

[wide shore]

Those things were like 1000 lumens

[remote kiln]

people who want remakes of the older games are stuck in a time capsule

[neon igloo]

BF3 netcode wasnt always good.

[remote kiln]

it wasn't just always good

[quaint vector]

Surprisingly.... No...

[remote kiln]

it was pretty shit

[solid imp]

I mean... BF3 suppression was pretty core to the experience and everyone says they thought BF3/4 was best bf /shrug 🙂

[wide shore]

I assumed arc’s comment was layered in a heavy dose of sarcasm.

[chilly jacinth]

multiple

layers

[remote kiln]

ah yes there's nothing like people having rose tinted glasses for an objectively terrible gunfight, (FPS) system mechanics game

because siene crossing exists we can just ignore suppression

or insert X other map

[quaint vector]

Exactly... People want old games to Remake, but keep forgeting how Weapons had awful bullet spread... Netcode was not great... BF3 Sun just blinded you and other things that people would complain and say that its not Remake and that its bad...

[solid imp]

ok all I want is to not have it where I'm hitting a sniper multiple times and they have no consequences and still 1 shot me

[neon igloo]

Suppression would change 2042 completely.

[remote kiln]

you mean make it an unplayable mess

wow almost like that's exactly what BF3 was

[remote kiln]

[neon igloo]

I disagree again lol I think it would make it more tactical.

[remote kiln]

??

[quaint vector]

BF3 was great for its time... But if that game would be released today.... Holy....

[remote kiln]

you think random bullet spread makes a game more tactical?

[rocky bear]

yes

random bullet speed too

[quaint vector]

[solid imp]

and random bullet calibers

[remote kiln]

what next slot machines are a game of skill too?

[rocky bear]

true

[wide shore]

Mechanically by todays standards bf3 gameplay isn’t great. But the map design and tone is still top tier. And it still looks pretty damn good almost 12 years later.

[solid imp]

spontaneous change between .50 and 5.56 mid-mag

[rocky bear]

random movement speed

[chilly jacinth]

slot machines are peak gaming

[neon igloo]

no. but you will have to choose when to peak and you cannot just shoot through enemies fire like you can in bf2042.

[remote kiln]

you know what it should be so all this nonsense dies

[remote kiln]

this makes no sense

[neon igloo]

I think it does.

[remote kiln]

that's why you shoot weapons

[solid imp]

But this is exactly why DICE always tries to push the boundaries because BF3 was astonishingly great for its time, what it was trying to achieve and then eventually accomplished

And why it's a hard sell to go back to an older model instead of continuing to try new things

[remote kiln]

if you like a lottery simulator go take a 200 mag LMG for a 64 player team and see how that goes

you will not kill a single person within 20m

[rocky bear]

this is cap

[remote kiln]

worse yet go put the suppressors on them aswell

[rocky bear]

this is also cap

[remote kiln]

enjoy your curving bullets

[humble hound]

30mm or 25mm for the jets?

[neon igloo]

I am maxing out the LMGs right now and using the 200 mag. I am pretty consistently on top of the LB.

[rocky bear]

25mm

30 sucks

[remote kiln]

congrats you wouldn't be if the game had bf3 suppression lmao

[quaint vector]

People really want random bullet spread.?

[neon igloo]

Exactly.

I should be suppressed.

[remote kiln]

apparently they like not seeing the entire map

motion blurry smear mess is good game design!

[chilly jacinth]

bloom is already a shit mechanic

[quaint vector]

[chilly jacinth]

and then add suppression on that

big yikes

wouldnt hit anything

[remote kiln]

apparently this is exactly what half the BF3 playerbase wants

because its "more skillful"

the damn name text is more clear than the screen

[chilly jacinth]

i kinda forgot how shit it was in bf3

goddamn

[remote kiln]

yeah easy to forget

[chilly jacinth]

instant eyebleed

[quaint vector]

I think people see it as advantage... I shoot him first, so he don't see and can't hit me...

[chilly jacinth]

[remote kiln]

and it's so much worse where there isn't light

people forgot just how ungodly shit zavod 311 was for vision

[solid imp]

imma keep going back to the sniper example... if I've hit a sniper a couple times in the chest plate it makes 0 sense that he can still keep the same scope placement on me and 1hk

you should absolutely have the advantage if you've landed the first couple hits

[remote kiln]

you do

they flinch

[chilly jacinth]

you do until he has all his hp back

[next onyx]

Doesn't really stop them.

[solid imp]

it does not stop them even slightly

that must be a visual effect only

[quaint vector]

Why to shoot them couple time, when you can 1 shot headshot him...

[solid imp]

ugh

windows

lol

[quaint vector]

Soory

[remote kiln]

target practice

need to shoot ducks in a barrel

[solid imp]

I don't want a specific reward for being less skilled than you and landing body shots but I don't want to be punished for landing body shots instead of missing

[foggy cloud]

hey yall im having an issue with my game where i like cant connect to any of the servers

[remote kiln]

I mean like, it's a sniper

[foggy cloud]

nothing in portal shows up as having players

[solid imp]

did you apply the update from yesterday?

[remote kiln]

there's no real good solution, it's either they all one shot at the body, or they dont

[foggy cloud]

the update?

o

[solid imp]

4.2.1

[foggy cloud]

lemme check

[solid imp]

Try matchmaking and let it run all the way out to 2 minute and time out

then exit the gamer

*game

and EA should understand there's an update to apply if it doesn't already

[foggy cloud]

i dont see any updates for the game

[remote kiln]

are you on the EA app or steam?

[quaint vector]

I'm not saying I'm more skilled or not, but if someone can't kill a player it's not his fault.. 👀

Yes, you had a worse vision when you have been hit but i don't think you should have that much advantage when you hit enemy sniper first..

[foggy cloud]

and i let the thing time out a couple of times

and the ea app

[remote kiln]

restart the launcher

and I mean fully restart, not just click the x button

[foggy cloud]

did that too

ended process trees on task manager too

[remote kiln]

you won't restart it doing that

[solid imp]

But I just don't get it that folks can say they want immersion but that sniper can pull a straight up Rambo and absorb bullets and keep perfect accuracy. At that point let's just call the game CSGO

[foggy cloud]

o?

[remote kiln]

you need to right click it and exit under the external menu icon

[foggy cloud]

imma try that rn

[solid imp]

Not talking supppression like bullets whizzing by... imo that's fine but I get most people hate it. I mean consequences of getting hit with bullets

[remote kiln]

who tf cares about immersion

all the people wanting milsims?

[solid imp]

lots of people who called the game "too clean" at launch 😄

[foggy cloud]

o shittt i see the update now

[remote kiln]

there u go

[foggy cloud]

thanks so much dawg imma see if it fixes it

[remote kiln]

np

[quaint vector]

I do understand to your point and if it will be decent, I'm in... But leave that to DICE

[solid imp]

"why is everything so clean, it's wartime things should be dirty" blah

[foggy cloud]

love this game it just be bugging out sometimes

[chilly jacinth]

its more like small scale skirmishes

[remote kiln]

a games first priority is to have fun, as soon as people say "its not like real life where a 50 cal bullet will tear your leg off", they lose the discussion

like yeah big surprise getting shot in the chest by a massive bullet means you're not moving anymore

[solid imp]

by that same token, getting shot in the chest by a couple smaller rounds should yield some result other than "heh I still aim at your head somehow"

[meager girder]

You should lose HUD comms and hearing if a nade goes off next to you

[remote kiln]

yeah your discord calls aswell

EMPs should disable your main menu screen

[solid imp]

kernel level game access maneuver

[remote kiln]

if DICE were serious about realism the rorsch when you get shot should make half your body disappear with how fast the projectile is

and the TOR would cause explosive fires no matter what it shot

but yeah it's a game and im sure players don't want to have arms being ripped off when shot

[edgy oriole]

recon your mode is messed up

unbalanced teams everygame and what not

seems to be the same amount every time too 21v7

other than that it good

[next onyx]

That's a portal issue.

[edgy oriole]

its a bot farm

[next onyx]

Heh.

Probably worth giving a go.

[fervent rose]

this game doesn't need aimpunch or similar mechanics, the ARs/LMGs are overtuned as it is

We've just released a Dev Note covering an early preview of what to expect with Squad Management for #Battlefield2042 in Season 5!

Head on over for a lovely read: https://t.co/G8LDizvBrt

And here's your first look at it too:

[copper ice]

Oh shit

[next onyx]

For a feature they've had to actually re add I'll have to give them credit for well... that.

[neon igloo]

Oh good, points for doing what the squad is ordered to do.

[copper ice]

oh it's just the basics

reinforcements

Still better than nothing though

Hooray

[next onyx]

Smoke barrage dude.

That was so helpful.

[fervent rose]

season 5 we finally out of beta

[mental delta]

Reinforcements ?

[fervent rose]

he means the bfv call in stuff @mental delta

[mental delta]

There's reinforcements in BF2042 in season 5 ?

[fervent rose]

nope

[mental delta]

Ha crap

[fervent rose]

its a lost cause expecting that stuff

[copper ice]

I was wishing there was, especially after the squad missions rumour

but it's 2042 so

[fervent rose]

i expect 1 more map and 3 small qol patches

[mental delta]

There could have been some battle pickups according to datamining but it never made it to the game

[fervent rose]

game is done after that

[mental delta]

Lol so no content after season 5 ?

[fervent rose]

i would like to be wrong

[remote kiln]

the UI looks much better

[mental delta]

Tbh I was one of those who think the game would not receive more updates after season 4, but tbh why would they bother to improve it that much just to drop it after season 5 ?

[copper ice]

i reckon there'll be at least one more season, probably two, and they'll throw a bunch of gadgets into the game like with bfv

they wont stop updating if the next bf is still significant distance away and 2042 is not bleeding cash

[remote kiln]

more importantly it will be the first time they can actually charge for the pass

[solid imp]

That's a totally suspicious number of boins on Penguin_Slayer_2042

[mental delta]

I'd say there will be a second year of development, so it ends up in summer 2024 when they'll start teasing BF6

[fervent rose]

sure but it still might not be worth it

EA likes their fat margins

[remote kiln]

why would it not be worth it?

[copper ice]

a second year wouldn't surprise me (though i expect less content than the first)

[mental delta]

He either is a hacker, a cheater or a sith lord

[remote kiln]

they can charge $40 for season passes

[fervent rose]

if not enough % of the current pop buys it, why make more

[copper ice]

people still have to buy them

[fervent rose]

the season 5 announcement was for christmas sales

imo

[remote kiln]

you don't need a lot of people to pay for it

like half is more than enough

the game doesn't require a lot of commitment

[fervent rose]

i very much doubt half are buying every bp

[copper ice]

half is a massive percentage of the game

[fervent rose]

i'd be surprised if 33% bought every bp

[remote kiln]

the number isnt verbatim lol

[neon igloo]

Well, still no clan tags.

[mental delta]

Yeah I think the same, I expect a complete year of development but less content, like I hardly doubt there'll be a new vehicle each season and 2 or 3 more guns

[remote kiln]

clearly enough people are bothering to pay back in season 2 and 3 for them to make season 5, it'll only increase by now

[fervent rose]

just rename yourself through EA if you really need a clan tag

[remote kiln]

and the year 1 pass doesn't get it free anymore

[fervent rose]

thats not an important feature

[naive quiver]

How much do I need to own every bp in the game shop

[neon igloo]

If you rename yourself, someone can snipe your non clan tagged name.

Trolls are under every bridge

[remote kiln]

it's 1000 for the pass, so 4 seasons that's 4000

[fervent rose]

you make a second email account, and take your original name on it

if you are that worried

[copper ice]

they'll definitely want bonus from the lack of year 1 pass, considering how loose your wallet has to be to buy that in the first place

[neon igloo]

Ive actually done that already.

[fervent rose]

it's an easy workaround

[mental delta]

I still got 3300 boins from year so i'll be able to purchase all year BPs for free

[neon igloo]

I just dont think its something we should have to do.

[naive quiver]

I had 2500 bp should be ok for next two season

[copper ice]

tbh with the exercises in balancing i don't want any more goddamn vehicles

[remote kiln]

I'd still like a stealth bomber at least

anything else is meh

[lament plank]

Wow such innovation with squad management. I’ve never seen anything like that in any battlefield game. I’m so glad that DICE is leading the way for all the next battlefields to come with these key features the next games will most certainly ship with and not be considered legacy features. Right guys?

[fervent rose]

that niche exists already in the stealth helis

[mental delta]

This game is clearly the most unbalanced one amongst all about vehicles

[fervent rose]

you dont need a plane to bomb as well

[copper ice]

the jubba... in the FUTURE

[neon igloo]

Legacy = premium

[fervent rose]

if they add bombers they better add a good dumbfire future fliegerfaust thing

[edgy oriole]

[copper ice]

fly so high up while dropping tens of thousands of kgs of high explosive that the stinger cant even hit you between flares because it's projectile velocity isnt high enough

[fervent rose]

isnt it nice not having to hold interact on the door to encounter the camper

[mental delta]

Bombers in modern era BF games should only be reinforcements except if we're talking about A10 or Frogfoot
