battlefield-2042

[sturdy socket]

nowhere near as tanky as an amtrac

[radiant prism]

anyways back on topic

[haughty plume]

Cq for sure basically try to survive bc people will spawn on you constantly and you can realisticy get 100 point a match

[radiant prism]

oh god wrong gif

[sturdy socket]

lmao

what

[radiant prism]

[next onyx]

Hmm.

[lilac dust]

IT'S GECC petting his dog!

[radiant prism]

Look I clicked on the gif before the thumbnails loaded ok

[next onyx]

Let's not delve into this.

[sturdy socket]

it didn't even load for me

what was it

[radiant prism]

I KNOW I DIDN"T MEAN TO OK

genuinely

[haughty plume]

Bf4

[radiant prism]

moving on

dog

[sturdy socket]

dm me the gif

[mighty holly]

Can we shoot the robo dog

For legal reason i don’t condone shooting them

[lilac dust]

Woah there

[mighty holly]

[next onyx]

Yeah I understand which I why I didn't want it to go further than that.

[mighty holly]

Hey it’s alright I said I don’t condone

[radiant prism]

yes so shh

[mighty holly]

[lilac dust]

Alright. I'll allow it

[next onyx]

Fuck wrong image.

There we go.

[safe bramble]

Loser

[jovial jay]

[haughty plume]

That was one beefy sandwich

[next onyx]

It was more than just beef!

[mighty holly]

There was a sandwich pic

[haughty plume]

It has been deleted but it will be forever burned in my retinas

[radiant prism]

[mighty holly]

now I want to see said pic

[lilac dust]

I need your help guys. I just tier 1'd the 12m auto. What should I do next. A marksman rifle like DM7 or another shotgun?

[radiant prism]

VCAR

Or DM7

[haughty plume]

F 35

Probably the most painful experience of my life

[lilac dust]

That's a jet right?

[haughty plume]

Jep

[lilac dust]

Yikes sounds painful

[radiant prism]

Its 1200 vehicles destroyed I think

[lilac dust]

Alright DM7 it is. I'd rather ease into marksmans before I give the VCAR for a spin

[haughty plume]

Let's just say my neighbors knew when I had an unfortunate match

[radiant prism]

Oh the VCAR is probably easier, more viable up close

[lilac dust]

Hmmm

[fiery shoal]

your nickname joke is like.. 2 years old now

[haughty plume]

Jep because I haven't been active since like a year

On this server. I do still frequently play

[mighty holly]

Understandable

[haughty plume]

Not really a discord type a guy but it's fun to chat with the community

I remember this server was an absolute hot mess with people flaming the game left and rigt

[lilac dust]

Alright I have a hundred kills with DM7 and 0 with vcar so gonna start with DM7. Any attachments you recommend for DM7?

[mighty holly]

lads where really hyped while a “”celebrity”” by the name of handerson join and we did some Tomfoolery and the lad left

[radiant prism]

The CQC mag is a great thing to get once you get around to it

[mighty holly]

good times those where I’ll tell you what

[lilac dust]

Noted

[radiant prism]

other than that its really down to your playstyle

[copper ice]

Just keep in mind the cc ammo gimps your range a bit

[radiant prism]

Yeah thats true, but its great for close range to short midrange

Also just the ammo count is a benefit

[copper ice]

The extra ammo helps a lot

Its like, an example of what cc ammo should actually be like on guns

Goes from 100m 3btk to i think 50m 3btk but increases rof and mag size to an actually helpful degree

[lilac dust]

So I been playing with the CQC rounds for a few matches now. Do standard rounds allow for a 1 shot headshot?

[radiant prism]

I dont think so

I think the best the DM7 can do is 2HK

[lilac dust]

Aite. Couldn't tell if CQC was tanking my damage down too much

[arctic grove]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1003428984194859059/1105942803479007293/Outstanding_Performance.mp4 Mackay Mains in a nutshell @still vault

[sturdy socket]

should have made the rank S999 with rm68 and tor t1 badges

[calm bison]

Well well well, that was fun

[arctic grove]

Im just better than everyone else.

[hardy crest]

is ea servers in game down ?

unable to log in game

[brazen bluff]

Are cheaters a problem in BF 2042?

[hardy crest]

there are not cheaters in the game

[remote kiln]

they exist yes but they're not a problem

[brazen bluff]

Yet

[fiery shoal]

ive only suspected like a single person of cheating in 2042, na west

[remote kiln]

what's the worst they can do? aimbot is an ability

so is seeing through walls

[next onyx]

They're a problem.

In smaller regions especially.

[stiff pollen]

I’ve seen two in 800 hours

BFV… every other match

[brazen bluff]

Same

[bitter skiff]

Somebody better knock on wood real quick

[tardy stream]

When does season 5 drop?

[next sorrel]

never

[still vault]

pretty much 😄

[tardy stream]

It's June sometime

@next sorrel thanks for nothing

[next sorrel]

❤️

[radiant prism]

damn

What the hell Kristopher

Anyways I would love to play right now but our internet has gone to 3mb/s

so thats fun

[carmine rover]

in 5000 hours of hardline i have never seen a cheater

visceral must had some crazy anti cheat software

[dusky tulip]

Do you see any now ?

[bronze ravine]

I call cap on that mad cap

[carmine rover]

i havent

[hybrid totem]

I think it'd be funny if they added "win or lose rounds" to the weekly missions

[karmic egret]

just saw the the notes for squad management, seems half baked

its better than what we have

but there are two things missing

-No option to kick a player

-No option to lock a squad

[kindred flint]

dude....have some faith fam, just gotta bake this cake in the oven a little longer 🙏

[karmic egret]

usually when dice releases the notes for something like this. its gonna be the final product

[kindred flint]

your expectations do be brutal

[karmic egret]

my expectations are very low for this

[shadow hazel]

Is there a link I can go to, to report bugs since the last update by chance?

[hybrid totem]

kicking players and locking squads are antithetical to the overall design choices made for the game so far. -DICE

[karmic egret]

If those two feature were in the system i would not be complaining

[calm bison]

The oven is cooking at 150° F

[karmic egret]

use metric

[kindred flint]

about three fiddy

[calm bison]

65.5° C

[kindred flint]

even my gpu gets hotter than that

[calm bison]

Like the oven is cooking

[karmic egret]

mmmm hot enough for some soup

[calm bison]

It’s just not very hot

[calm bison]

Yeah but this is a cake

This thing is still barely baked

[kindred flint]

eventually the eggs are gunna go bad in it before its done cooking

[pine roost]

That’s half the stuff you’d expect to do with squad management

[karmic egret]

squad sizes should at least be increased for 128 players

[kindred flint]

6?

[karmic egret]

8

[pine roost]

Sounds like that’s something they’ve been considering given surveys

But raising it is a stretch

[kindred flint]

i like 6 better...because it doesnt divide evenly into 64 so thats a dice thing to do

i have no doubt the surveys mean jack shit for 2042...its for their next product that will still manage to be fucked up

[pine roost]

Firstly you’ve got the mess that would be 7 people spawning on one person. Overwhelming comms. The game would most likely be specialised even more towards making it reliant on squad mates to have fun. While yes some element of cooperation is fun, I’ve found the feeling of my own actions affecting the match to be far more satisfactory

[kindred flint]

teams of 60, with 5 man squads

[pine roost]

5 felt like the sweet spot and I could see them returning to that. But 6 and above could be a bit iffy in my eyes

[kindred flint]

did bf4 have the 5 man squads?

[pine roost]

4

[kindred flint]

Which one had bigger than 4

[pine roost]

V or 1 did I’m certain

[wooden berry]

BF4 had 5

[pine roost]

I might just be losing my marbles

Spent two weeks looking at numbers and writing essays

Either way, we’ll see what happens

Can’t wait for this coursework month to be over, I can finally just play games

Hopefully it’s just in time for the next update

[bleak bear]

whats up

should be able to leave a squad or create our own squad.

and then locking it so no one can join. what was wrong with that?

[kindred flint]

It was like that in a former BF game

[bleak bear]

BF2

[kindred flint]

so clearly dice cant replicate it and need to fuck it up

[bleak bear]

I liked being able to name my squad too which I thought was cool.

[pine roost]

View squad, choose squad, make squad private, kick people from squad, that should be it

Naming would be neat but you can see immediately how that would turn sour

[bleak bear]

Just being able to leave the squad going solo is good enough for me.

BF 2 commander. That was cool.

I cant remember but was there a feature to kick commander out?

[onyx jolt]

i miss commander/the squad system from 2

and the ability to rent your own servers...

[next sorrel]

i think

[errant scarab]

the regeneration of life is very fast it already seems cod

medic is useless

[next sorrel]

battlefield 4, hardline, and 1 all have 5 man squads

bf2 has 6

bf5, bf3, bc2 have 4

[pine roost]

Ah it was 1 I was thinking of

[hybrid totem]

if enough squad leaders voted the commander as "bad" or whatever, they would get kicked yes

[pine roost]

Haven’t touched 4 for a good 2 years or so

[next sorrel]

4 also has it

[hybrid totem]

at least in bf4

[ivory canopy]

1077/1200 for the M44

[next sorrel]

is that a k/d?

[ebon pilot]

that's kills to T1

they just need 123 kills to T1 it

[next sorrel]

oohh

[ebon pilot]

the weekly portal gamemode has some interesting settings

unlimited ranger drones?

[low timber]

I need 91 kills to T1 the PF51

[ebon pilot]

I wonder what 32v32 ranger drones would look like

[edgy oriole]

i think the whole mode is bugged

earlier i played it for 4 hours and had uneven teams the whole time

im talkin 21v7

it was just bot farm central

[ivory canopy]

Within 100 kills of getting T1 for the M44

Just had a match where I went hogwild with the M44 popping headshots left and right

Well, I was going hogwild overall - I had a lot of PP2000 kills that round too

[twin ibex]

Let's get prayers that dice doesn't add crossplay to the next bf game and if they are going to add it please be with only ps and Xbox players

[carmine rover]

whats wrong with playing against pc players

[next sorrel]

lets pray there isnt a new battlefield game tbh

[carmine rover]

tbh its kinda overrated . im on controller and i play crossplay on and still have the most kills in the lobby

pc players are just as bad as controller players

[twin ibex]

Massive disadvantage since the PC skill roof is much higher than the ps and Xbox skill roof

A godly ps player can be dogged on by a above average PC player

[next sorrel]

most people call it a skill ceiling btw

[carmine rover]

not true

maxiq plays controller and i dont think an above average pc player can dog him

i consider myself a pretty good, above average controller player and i dog pc players

[twin ibex]

if you couldn't tell he uses a Cronus/xim his aim is to sus that it can't be justified that it's recoil control

[carmine rover]

ok what about quagsie?

he plays controller

[twin ibex]

you can hook that up digital so you don't need to connect it to your controller thus making the hand cam streams false

[carmine rover]

i dont think any pc player can dog him

[twin ibex]

don't know quagsie

Also maxiq prob plays off crossplay cus his enemies are so bad that they can't hit the broadside of a barn

[carmine rover]

he does play crossplay off

because he knows he can farm ai

[twin ibex]

how does he get matches with that option off lmao

[carmine rover]

he farms ai

and the little population of players

in the server

[twin ibex]

figures

[carmine rover]

meow

[warm sundial]

yo does anybody know how long the double XP will be here for?

[scarlet island]

Lol ive been in games with him hes a fantastic player

[scarlet island]

Is that what you say when somebody is better than you at a video game?

[dusky tulip]

I see it every other weekend, I wouldnt worry its always there and now that I reached level 99 and battle pass is also maxed out Xp doesnt matter much

[frosty flint]

what y'all think about the PBX?

do you like it? What setup do you use?

[wooden berry]

trying to grind it now, not a bad smg

[carmine rover]

ya use stnr laser if u have it

and standard rounds r the best to use

[frosty flint]

I'm at 850/1200 for the tier 1, and I'm liking it

[frosty flint]

yeah that's what I've been using...

[carmine rover]

any muzzle is good really just stay away from long barrel

use arcom

[radiant prism]

Yeah PBX is pretty great all around

[frosty flint]

I feel like the high impact rounds are underrated as fuck though

[radiant prism]

I like the CQC mag, but it’s nice to have the standard extended on standby

[radiant prism]

Agreed

[frosty flint]

really, really good damage at range

like PP level damage at range without getting bad TTKs up close

well then, I guess, I'm going to be try harding with the PBX to get that tier one

then I think I'm going to be trying for the LCMG

[radiant prism]

Nice

[frosty flint]

that one is also hella underrated in my opinion...

especially with high impact rounds again, like a two shot headshot kill up to I think like 50 meters is an absolute melt

[radiant prism]

If you want to be a true psychopath use HP rounds on the M5

[frosty flint]

hell yeah brother

that's the first gun I tier oned

[radiant prism]

I think first one for me was the AK

[frosty flint]

I still don't have the tier one for the ak sad

[ivory canopy]

My first T1 was the GVT

[next onyx]

m5a3 due to the loadout glitch.

[frosty flint]

holy shit

I need to rewire my brain for the gvt

[ivory canopy]

GVT sniping was kinda meta

[frosty flint]

too hard to use

[next onyx]

Though if I remember correctly.

The AK24 was my second tier 1 that I had full control over.

[ivory canopy]

It will 1hk to the head at practically any range

[frosty flint]

lowkey, the magnum is kinda meta too

[ivory canopy]

I'm closing in on a T1 for that too

[frosty flint]

people camping? Whip out the 4x scope on revolver and oneshot them lmao

[ivory canopy]

I had a match today where I got 24 kills with the M44

so many headshots

[frosty flint]

holy shit

you're cracked

I'm still trying to get good at the game lol

anyone wanna coach me?

[ivory canopy]

What'd you expect from a man insane enough to T1 the MCS?

[pine roost]

If it makes you feel any better I only knew you could put a red dot on the revolver a few weeks ago, and I’ve had it since launch

[frosty flint]

Absolute cracked gaming

[pine roost]

Who cares if it’s not meta if it’s fun to use

[frosty flint]

lmao xD

[ivory canopy]

and the MCS is extremely bad in BF2042

[frosty flint]

yeah I know...

[radiant prism]

I’m impressed if it was all in AOW

[frosty flint]

I guess my weirdest tier one is the pulse rifle

[pine roost]

Would rather have a pointless shotgun than one that’s far too oppressive

[ivory canopy]

Yup

[frosty flint]

everything else is kinda the most broken shit

[radiant prism]

Damn

[frosty flint]

speaking of pointless shotguns, did you ever try the full auto one with only slugs?

[fossil trench]

What do you guys think about having a option to turn off people entering your vehicle.

[frosty flint]

Two tap kill super fast at any range

[twin ibex]

137 hours in and I still get 20-30 kills average and 40 in a good game sadge

[pine roost]

I don’t touch shotguns so no

[frosty flint]

250 hours and same

[ivory canopy]

My recommendations for those of you masochistic enough to embark on that, either use 01 hipfire or 00 ads, and avoid point blank encounters

[frosty flint]

eventually I will lol

[pine roost]

A lot of it comes from rewatching deaths and either analysing it to come up with a better play or asking more experienced players for a review

[fossil trench]

I’ve wanted this since BF1. You could clear objectives with the boat gun but there would always be someone who enters and just drives right into the enemies

[ivory canopy]

I also never use the underbarrel attachments for most weapons, unless a grenade launcher is available

[frosty flint]

I noticed that I'm like very, very shit in open encounters around foliage...

and I'm bad at dealing with campers

but I'm quite good at peek shot battles...

[ivory canopy]

But the thing to get used to with the MCS is not always getting the kill you expected

[pine roost]

Have you got some kind of recording software to make an instant replay?

[ivory canopy]

It's far and away the most inconsistent gun in the game

[frosty flint]

sure shadow play or obs

[radiant prism]

Just use GeForce experience

[pine roost]

It’s what I use

[ivory canopy]

I don't even wear the T1 skin on it on my loadout. It's not worthy of it.

[frosty flint]

should I record myself playing and post for review?

[fossil trench]

Is there anything more torturous than the MCS T1?

[pine roost]

I’d join some servers that have been hosted by some good players and send them there

[ivory canopy]

From my recollection, no.

[fossil trench]

[frosty flint]

Recommendation?

[pine roost]

Catalyst, enders, focus, silk are a few. I can name more but I don’t think all of them have discord servers

[radiant prism]

I don’t use T1 skins for the most part

[ivory canopy]

The first week of the discarded revamp helped me T1 Blasco easily

[frosty flint]

fuck bro that's a lot of people... who do I start with lol

[pine roost]

Although I found after enough time I could just watch their streams, pick apart certain aspects of their gameplay and use that to analyse my own vods to identify mistakes

[radiant prism]

Mus1CK has a nice little community

[fossil trench]

Definitely don’t watch Enders

[radiant prism]

That seems to actually understand the game they play unlike a lot of other streamers

[pine roost]

I’d argue that catalyst is probably the most down to earth, that might be a good place

[frosty flint]

I don't watch almost anyone lol

[radiant prism]

There’s also EnergizedKnight

[next sorrel]

whats wrong with enders

[slender isle]

He kinda just whinges (sorry Enders)

[frosty flint]

alright I'll see if someone there can help me lol

[pine roost]

Although enders’ discord has some of the best players there so you are bound to get some good feedback if you ask the right questions

[slender isle]

Too much negativity and mouth over the mic style commentary

[frosty flint]

hhhmmmm ok

[fossil trench]

All he does is complain about the game whenever he dies. He’s a super sweaty tryhard with no chill.

[wide shore]

[radiant prism]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/850376380822323230/1104197420574855269/enders.gif

[frosty flint]

ah clearly hasn't played destiny

he does not know what a truly bad game is

[frosty flint]

this map I just die on

[pine roost]

While I appreciate his skill as a professional player, and study his gameplay a lot for my own development, I’ve recently taken to just not watching much of his stuff

[frosty flint]

like I can not get more than a 1KD on this map

[slender isle]

Destiny is good the first 1000 hours

[pine roost]

Most of what I see now is stuff I already know

[wide shore]

He also wants everybody to respect his opinions and doesn’t respect anybody else’s. Very narcissistic

[fossil trench]

This ^^^

[frosty flint]

sound like about everyone on the internet lmao

[radiant prism]

He’s the definition of an internet tough guy

[wide shore]

I’ve had very good conversations on here with people I don’t agree with

[fossil trench]

Nah this dude is a whole other thing lol

[radiant prism]

Loves calling people jobless

(People being me)

(Twice)

[fossil trench]

Just like short of veins popping on his forehead kinda sweat lol

[wide shore]

He also hates all of us.

So

[radiant prism]

Actual Enders reaction to getting killed by a riot shield btw

[fossil trench]

HOW DARE YOU PLAY THIS SHITTY GAME?

streams bf2042 almost every day

[pine roost]

Well when you get used to a competitive environment where rules are strict and the overall structure is predictable, regular public matches just end up being infuriating

[radiant prism]

Guarantee he’ll show here and respond to this sometime, he’s done it before. Dude checks every possible platform for any mention of his name to feed his ego

[pine roost]

It’s his job

[radiant prism]

He doesn’t think he has a choice, according to him

[fossil trench]

So he says

[fossil trench]

Yepppp

[wide shore]

There’s being angry. And there’s borderline crying about nothing.

[fossil trench]

He’d just rather be pissed off and angry all the time

[next sorrel]

why is the foliage bugging out

[frosty flint]

why is battlefield 2042 considered to be that bad though?

At this point it feels really good to me...

[next sorrel]

bc it is

[pine roost]

There are things I’ve disagreed with but there’s no point blabbering on

[frosty flint]

am I just that bad at the game?

[radiant prism]

No, people are just angry

Enjoy it

[fossil trench]

People can’t let go of the bad launch that was almost 2 full years ago

[radiant prism]

There’s fun to be had even if people don’t want to acknowledge it

[frosty flint]

Like I tried cod2 and that felt worse...

[next sorrel]

the game is also worse than older battlefield in many ways but

[pine roost]

Many, many things were bad initially. Many improvements have been made but now for me there are only a few things that need to be changed and it’ll feel far better

[next sorrel]

battlefield games are always better than cod games

[frosty flint]

that's good lol

[next sorrel]

well

i csnt say for certain

but they always seem better

[frosty flint]

cod felt like a shit show of grinding made hell by SBMM

also snipers are op in cod...

[pine roost]

The whole one shot bodyshot thing feels so strange there

[frosty flint]

really everything one shot to body?

[pine roost]

I get it’s because of the pacing and map size but I’m just not used to it

[frosty flint]

That's like a really bad idea...

also isn't cod hit scan?

[radiant prism]

Used to be

[frosty flint]

Like aiming is so much easier there

[radiant prism]

I think there is bullet travel now, but for the longest time no

[frosty flint]

interesting...

[pine roost]

When the mw2 trial was out there were semi auto dmrs with iron sights that oneshot headshot

It felt cheap

[radiant prism]

Engagement distance is also much closer on average than BF

[frosty flint]

yikes

speaking of longer engagement distance, what is y'alls favourite mid zoom sight?

Not the thermal please

[pine roost]

In bf you feel like your actions actually have a tangible impact on the match

[radiant prism]

TV 2x

[frosty flint]

that one is op I know that

[pine roost]

Red dot

Red dot all the way

[radiant prism]

Nothing wrong with the good ol ACOG derivative

Usually I’m a red dot guy though

[frosty flint]

Random teammate ping :"Enemy at 2000 met..."
@pine roost: Flicks with red dot :"BOOM HEADSHOT!"

[ebon pilot]

2.5x

thermal

[frosty flint]

yeah that one is just nuts

[pine roost]

They did something wacky to the feel of recoil when this season started

[frosty flint]

so, so broken

[radiant prism]

The recoil fix I think

[pine roost]

Can’t pinpoint what it was, but it looks like it was to do with the actual firing animation

[radiant prism]

Just exposed the bigger problem

[pine roost]

This was before that major recoil fix

No wait after

Regardless it’s only a visual thing

[frosty flint]

speaking of recoil, what is y'alls favourite setup for the AM40, that shit feels like it has way too much recoil...

[pine roost]

Not my specialty

[radiant prism]

AM40 kicks like a mule

[pine roost]

Someone else probably has a better setup

[frosty flint]

warhawk feels nice on the recoil, but then the accuracy goes to shit and I can't hit anything far away

[pine roost]

Although in general I always go accuracy+ on whatever possible

[frosty flint]

Tactical feels like breaking my hand

[pine roost]

Unless it has some insane horizontal recoil

[frosty flint]

currently I'm trying the arcom muzzle break to at least get the horizontal consistent

it's ok but really bad against headglitches

[pine roost]

Cause spread you can’t control, vertical you can, and horizontal you can’t. So eliminate the variables and it helps with consistency

[frosty flint]

but I guess I just pull the magnum if someone abuses a headglitch

[pine roost]

Go for it

Show em who’s boss

[frosty flint]

https://tenor.com/view/indiana-jones-gif-6250199

ah what a disappointment...

[radiant prism]

https://tenor.com/view/indiana-jones-gif-6250199

[frosty flint]

well that yeah lol

[fossil trench]

AM40 is like the submachine gun upgraded to a AR

[frosty flint]

I'll go sweat kovaaks and bot lobbies to get godlike aim on the magnum and then time to punish those campers

10/10 plan

[pine roost]

That’s what I do daily

[frosty flint]

feels like what the pp always wanted to be but never became...

[pine roost]

When there isn’t time to play proper matches I just put an hour into kovaaks

[frosty flint]

after getting the PP to tier one I've started to hate it

deeply

[pine roost]

Which is now unfortunately

The season 4 revosect benchmarks go hard though

[frosty flint]

add me on steam then you can compare to my shitty results: PajaGlavonja

lol

I feel like the pp is the most overrated gun in existence

it's so, so bad

just kills way too slow

and people are like but it's good for flanking when opponents are not looking at you

well einstein every gun is good when they are not looking at you

[pine roost]

Pp has felt good for a long while for me

Unless they’ve changed it, but I don’t recall that

[frosty flint]

I lost a fair 1v1 way too much when getting it to tier one

[pine roost]

It’s spread felt good, and with that ammo capacity it was just forgiving

[frosty flint]

then I look the LCMG and suddenly was winning fair TTK 1v1s

[pine roost]

Oh actually I just remembered, I’ve got loads of bf guide videos that I’ve saved over the years. Should I send them over to you? Could be of some help

[frosty flint]

that would be great!

Also if you want to play with me sometime I'd love to get your feedback

[pine roost]

Could do, although I’m in my exam / coursework month at the moment so I lack the time to play

[frosty flint]

what you studying?

[pine roost]

Computer science. This is right at the end of my first year and needless to say I’ve got a lot left to do

[ebon pilot]

what languages do you know so far

[mild crystal]

Hi

[pine roost]

Well I’m most experienced in c#, not to say I’m professional in it though. I knew enough to get by for the exams and courses I’ve done so far. Aside from that I’ve done some Java, c++, c, JavaScript and the web stuff if you can call them languages

[ebon pilot]

c#
based

[pine roost]

Although I’m going to be putting more effort into c++ seeing as that’s what most games companies ask for

[ebon pilot]

c++ is a shitty language

it's not worth it

(i professionally write c++)

[pine roost]

Well if it’s what these companies ask for what choice do I have

[ebon pilot]

don't get into game development?

[pine roost]

It’s the main reason I’m interested in programming stuff in the first place

Too late now anyway

[ebon pilot]

so was I, and then I became just a normal software developer obsessed with performance and type systems

[proven igloo]

I might have to reinstall BFV. The lack of ammo for engie is starting to get to me.

[pine roost]

I reckon just the understanding of software development you get from games could be enough to net some jobs relating to general development

[ebon pilot]

it's all software development. games are just software except 99% of it is written in the worst language in modern use

[pine roost]

I just love the creative side of it

[next onyx]

Reminds me. I would love to make a horror game.

Just a cheap horror game.

[pine roost]

PT, but call it BT 128p

[next onyx]

LOL.

[pine roost]

BT 128p chaos hardcore 1000% exp rates one shot milsim immersive experience

[next onyx]

I watch markiplier in his scary games series cause it's really entertaining. I love to see the creativity aspect.

How people have their own interpretations.

[pine roost]

The only horror type games I have any interest in are ones where it’s more subtle and the design of the game isnt just to scare you

[next onyx]

Yeah exactly.

[pine roost]

Take gloomwood or stalker for instance

[next onyx]

Imagine something where you get used to the sound and all of a sudden it turns off.

You wonder. Hey was it always on.

Slash what's happening.

Cultic actually did horror pretty well.

[pine roost]

Minecraft cave sounds are enough for me

[inner ether]

Is M39 EMR worth it?

[pine roost]

When it was a oneshot headshot it definitely was

[mild crystal]

Is there any super easy way to level up the crossbow?

Method

Ik co op

But like 300 kills with a crossbow is painful

[inner ether]

It's absurdly idiotic

I looked at that and felt that I wouldn't even bother

[mild crystal]

I enjoy pain sooo

But thats gonna be alot of co op games

Idk

[proven igloo]

It's like 2 breakthrough games solo.

[mild crystal]

No its not lol u crazy

[granite island]

Railgun blew up my wildcat

I ĺeft the wildcat

[mild crystal]

Is gvt 45 70 any good

[granite island]

Blew up his tank

[mild crystal]

Nah fuck that man

This crossbow can stay untouched

Nvm its not to bad

1 shot kill up close but tje damage drop of is big L

Still, 300 kills

[ivory canopy]

Yes

Take it from someone who T1'd it

It's a good pinch sniper

[mild crystal]

Ill get it after crossbow

Is it bad ive spent more time grinding co op than i jave actually playing the game 🤣

[arctic grove]

imo i dont like it

[next sorrel]

ok but if you do it thats insanely based

[soft leaf]

is that only two maps we can play in breakthrough now?

[next sorrel]

i have 300 xbow kills in bf3 and im not even sure how

lol

[soft leaf]

[mild crystal]

Guys

See if i buy the battle pass

Do i get access to the items i havent yet unlocked that are included in the battle pass, or do i only get to use the skins once i unlock the weapon or vehicle

[edgy oriole]

you get whatever you unlock on the bp

[arctic grove]

ye

[mild crystal]

So i haven't unlocked the ebc ram yet, if i buy the pass, i get access to it straight away since ive unlocked the skin in the pass?

[arctic grove]

No

[edgy oriole]

you get the skin

only vehicle youll unlock on the pass is the crawler

[arctic grove]

you get the skin but you still need to unlock the ebc ram

[mild crystal]

Sad

[warm stirrup]

Ram is unlocked through challenge

[mild crystal]

Its to late to buy the pass anyway

[warm stirrup]

You don't need battlepass for ram

[arctic grove]

yeah

[arctic grove]

unless you have the tiers unlocked already

[mild crystal]

I dont sadly

Is the mav any good?

[warm stirrup]

Mav is free silly

[mild crystal]

I know

But is it any good

[warm stirrup]

Compared to the brawler, nah

Brawler can survive 3 c5

[mild crystal]

Damn

Ok so my checklist goes like this, finish leveling crossbow, then repeater, then unlock ram, level ram then brawler then ill be pretty much set

Besides air vehicles but ima do that later, i cant fly for shit

[warm stirrup]

Play against bots to practice

[mild crystal]

I will

Does tue m5c bolte have a driver turret

[ivory canopy]

Nope

It does have driver controlled weapons though

Well, it can

[mild crystal]

Gonna unlock ram 1st, what shall i use, bolte, recon or hovercraft

[warm stirrup]

Need to unlock the missiles tho

On bolte

[ivory canopy]

Bolte comes standard with a mine layer

which you can sneak behind an unsuspecting tank and bait them into

[granite island]

Can we have mines

For infantry

[warm stirrup]

Missiles aren't good ever since nerf too

[warm stirrup]

Yes

[mild crystal]

Ima use bolte n knock these kills n assists out

[warm stirrup]

I think engineer has mines?

[ivory canopy]

Yup

[mild crystal]

Bro this i funny

Im jusy running them all over

The minigun turret is ass

[arctic grove]

T1 mcs 880 how?

lol

[ivory canopy]

things

[mild crystal]

Howndoci kick the bot out my bolte

N stop them getting in

[arctic grove]

did you use any farms

[ivory canopy]

no

Just played AOW and bitched and moaned the whole way

[errant scarab]

how can i get regular role

[edgy oriole]

!!regular

[tender pendant]

The Regular role is earned by users automatically who are active in chat and follow the server rules. With this role you can post/embed images, use some bot commands, and get a special color in chat.

[copper ice]

keep the bot in the turret

[shadow hazel]

Wohoo!!! Maybe I will be selected to be a regular one day!!!

https://tenor.com/view/white-claw-the-claw-toy-story-clawwww-gif-14432446

[wide shore]

Someday I will too

[mild crystal]

Tmrw im finna go ham on the grind

Gonna level Nvk p125, crossbow and repeater

[karmic egret]

good luck

[copper fulcrum]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-comedy-television-jazz-hands-hands-gif-3931510

[mild crystal]

Is the ram easy to get kills in ?

[copper fulcrum]

It's a vehicle that allows the driver to shoot so the answer is already yes

[safe bramble]

granted the main cannon options suck dick in one aspect or another

[mild crystal]

Those things are pretty op against ground vehicles

I just checked n i need 450 kills with brawler and 420 with ram

[shadow hazel]

HE IS A REGULAR!!!! Teach us oh mighty Regular sir!!

[copper fulcrum]

I just talk during my breaks and on days off

[shadow hazel]

Oh ye of mighty intelligence, thank you for your kind wisdom. We will use the tools you have taught us today!!

[hybrid totem]

The last person I saw get regular role, got it because they kept asking other regular users to post gifs for them

If you just want the perms, it's probably faster to just boost the server

[shadow hazel]

No thanks, I enjoy hanging out and talking

[ebon pilot]

literally

that's what I did

now i post funny clips of myself almost dying to curiosity

[white geyser]

whatever the next weapons they'll add to keep me busy grinding to unlocked the attachments, I hope it's good and caught my attention for me to use that weapon

[shadow hazel]

Why are we getting kicked out of games tonight saying all players disconnected?

[hybrid totem]

I've been having matchmaking trouble too. I imagine the servers are not having a good night

[ivory canopy]

I am 34 kills out of the M44 T1

[twin ibex]

Is ammo crate good with falk

[ivory canopy]

Hell yes it is

[twin ibex]

Reason?

[ivory canopy]

Why wouldn't you want infinite ammo on a character who can heal others and self, and revive anyone to full HP?

[twin ibex]

Sounds reasonable

[shadow hazel]

Didnt give a reason, just said game ended, everyone disconnected

[ivory canopy]

I'm running Falck right now; trying to T1 her.

But my main focus has been on the M44

[twin ibex]

I already T1ed her

[bitter skiff]

I like Falk, I have been playing her lately as well

[twin ibex]

Focused on t1ing all the guns in the game except for the shotguns snipers and sidearms that isn't g57 or 12m

I'm already done with ars and AC9 plus the g57

[next onyx]

I can't be bothered with falck.

I got her done but assault is more fun.

[ebon pilot]

I T1'd Falck about a week or two after launch

[upper kite]

Has anyone addressed or mentioned the spawn deaths issue? I sometimes spawn 2 to 3 times to instant death was wondering if that's normal or common

[next onyx]

Mean in front of someone or something?

With little spawn protection?

[upper kite]

No I mean I spawn and instantly get killed then choose random spawn, and spawn into being blown up by aircraft or tank instantly. Sometimes I don't even get to move a step and it happens 5 to 6 times a game

[bitter skiff]

totally normal

[next onyx]

Yeah that sounds about it.

[upper kite]

Ok cool is there a way to know if someone is targeting me. Like looking down sight at me either a specialist or sonething?

[next gulch]

I can never take Falck seriously because her name sounds like a intentionally cringe misspelling of fuck

[next onyx]

Nope. Legion.

[upper kite]

Weird cause a lot of people in my lobbies with instant 180 and head shot me idk wth that is

[ebon pilot]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falck_(emergency_services_company)

[bitter skiff]

fisk

[twin ibex]

What should the close distance be for my map

[karmic egret]

has weejobie been banned?

[next bay]

Alright so I am having an incredibly frustrating issue with this game. i just reinstalled it because I wanted to give it a go after not playing since launch and everything seems to be working fine... until i get into a match. Whenever I try to look around instead of the aim just going smoothly it literally just doesnt change where im looking until the mouse stops, and it just teleports to where it should be. I can take a screenclip if im doing a bad job explaining it but i cannot for the life of me figure out why this is happening. tried restarting the game, trying to avoid reinstalling since thats a lengthy process. I play on PC with mouse and keyboard, on a fairly beefy rig. this happens regardless of what my graphics settings are, tried it on both maxed out settings as well as lowest possible settings with the same result

[next sorrel]

guys do you agree that if you shoot someone in the nutsack it should be one shot and not counted as a leg shot

[copper fulcrum]

In the words of Duke Nukem:

I've got balls of steel

[twin ibex]

Wifi connection got lost when I had a 45-15 kill game and it was just about to end

I love your billionaire company servers ea

[bleak bear]

I trust EA.

I have nothing against these game corporations.

I will say whats up.

[ivory canopy]

15 more kills to T1 the M44

[latent cipher]

anyone here able to tell me why the servers are suddenly dead in Oceania?

Seems a bit janky

[royal swan]

Definitely not a finished product

I guess it will get the scoreboard treatment

If we are communicating enough

Start complaining folks

[karmic egret]

Yeah the scoreboard just has things I don't care about, like resupplies and objectives captured should instead have the player level and ping

The ping is incredibly important especially for portal when 2042's support ends

[hybrid totem]

wasn't there soemthing about ping taking up bandwidth

and that's why they didn't display it

[strong rampart]

Sure is a great week for battlw pass missions! Lets have a win 5 matches mission and make people have millions of losses to 1 possible win

[royal swan]

Skill issue

Getting wins ain't so hard

Just play normally

[next onyx]

Can't really rely on your team for wins.

[hybrid totem]

if you are losing millions of matches... or even more than an average of 1:1... yeah

[hybrid totem]

or losses

there are times when the things one person does can affect the outcome of a game. Mostly transport players

[royal swan]

My win to lose ratio is 1:1 with wins being higher slightly

[strong rampart]

2 matches ago was just a spawn camp 5 minute match. And the one i just left is lasting little longer but no ones getting anywhere

[hybrid totem]

then leave and start a new one

if all you're worried about is weekly missions...

[strong rampart]

Better than worrying about my kd rsther than ptfo

But you mustnt know about that either

[hybrid totem]

then don't worry about the missions. More than likely you'll complete the wins if you stop paying attention

[royal swan]

Just play breakthrough or rush

[strong rampart]

Good luck with that here. Rush is currently non existent and breakthrough fluctuates.

Conquest is about the only guarantee here in oceania regions

[royal swan]

Oh you're in that region

[twin ibex]

Why would someone drive the transport vehicles you get no kills and barely any score

[hybrid totem]

...so you can win

and if you're not getting score as a trasnport driver, you're... quite frankly doing it wrong

[twin ibex]

Yeah but who mains it

It isn't fun

[hybrid totem]

I used to, but I'm working on the other t1s

I love a good transport run

nothing better than being in tune with your gunners

Also I find I get better gunners on transports than most other vehicles

I'm not talking about Supa hind or condor either, the ground transports are amazing

[twin ibex]

Why use stealth choppers when you have attack choppers just asking

[hybrid totem]

because ... of the stealth

[twin ibex]

Not really stealth just a lock on prevention

[hybrid totem]

that's like asking why run a tank when you have a wildcat. Totally different applications

yes and in a game with ludicrous amounts of lock ons, "stealth" is nice

nice we just won a game

[fervent rose]

unless you have a 2nd player who's good on the 2nd seat, there's no reason to use apache/hokum

[next onyx]

Why use attack choppers when ST choppers is better at anti vehicle.

[fervent rose]

stealth heli is so much better for a single player

[hybrid totem]

sadly it's true, now that I understand how to use those bombs, they are ridiculous

[next onyx]

Who needs rocket pods when you have 4x 250 kilo bombs that can instantly flatten / severely chip armour.

[hybrid totem]

Not to mention one of the only guaranteed ways to one shot condors or super hinds

[next onyx]

And agms.

Or even a tow.

With 30 mils that can keep the vehicle from healing.

[hybrid totem]

I've been enjoying the heavy machine gun pods actually

[next onyx]

Unironically though that never gets old.

[hybrid totem]

Never

I love it every time, specifically if they've been terrorizing my team

[hybrid totem]

awww yeah bb that's the stuff

[next onyx]

Full fucking condor too ohhh.

I have a video of getting a hind.

[hybrid totem]

hin is even more impressive

condor is a big cross, hind you at least have to line up behind or in front

imagine if rotors had collision...

[hybrid totem]

ahhh finally got f35 t1

[upbeat sand]

I wanna see Martin to remake his battlefield 2042 tactic teir list

[karmic egret]

Fuck

[hybrid totem]

well if you click the link

[white geyser]

The fuck?

[hybrid totem]

As part of EA's latest investor report, Wilson frequently spoke of Battlefield, acknowledging the difficulties that Battlefield 2042 faced during its launch (via GamesRadar). Wilson talked about taking "ownership," and "building [...] for the future," of several of its major brands, notably Battlefield. He also believes that EA has the "ability to bring Battlefield back in an entirely new way in the future," though he didn't mention what that means exactly.

It's probably just microhype right now

keeping everyone apprised that they don't plan to drop the title

You can be CERTAIN, however, that no matter what direction they send it in, roughly half the playerbase will complain about it

oh fun
The future of the series isn't entirely unclear though, as we do know that Ridgeline is working with DICE to develop a single-player campaign for a future Battlefield game, but details on that are currently under wraps.

[karmic egret]

guarantee dice will take everything they learnt about battlefield 2042 and throw it of the top story of the empire state building

on EA's Demands that is

[upbeat sand]

Hopefully this includes delaying the 2-4 year launches so dice can actually not have to rush

[full burrow]

fuck the campaign for a future game, let them work on a campaign and just release when ready

use said profit to keep developing the next actual battlefield

wait so they havnt even been working on a new multi bf just a campaign, so why the fuck does the ongoing development of 2042 feel so barebones

[fervent rose]

probably just corporate nonsense speak. i take it as a "reboot"

hopefully they don't force the devs to make another shitty battle royale

[onyx mica]

my love for this game has gone beyond madness

[robust vapor]

Season 5 confirmed

[wheat iron]

Year 2 confirmed to

[robust vapor]

Yes

[wheat iron]

Na the Game is never gonna be the best Bf 2042

[naive quiver]

Metro map come back confirmed too ?

[wheat iron]

I dont know Bro

[onyx mica]

https://tenor.com/view/ace-ventura-jim-carrey-smile-point-ok-gif-17485892

[abstract shuttle]

i love bf 90210

[karmic egret]

man I love using all my under barrel grenades and then have it not change back to using the rifle itself

dying in the process

[karmic egret]

no its not

[onyx mica]

you don't know the hell I've been through, you don't know the price I paid, every bit of man I once was, every bit of love that I could have, living in a moment, setting into motion

[wheat iron]

Its Not offical confirmed but a redditor Had a bug in Origin and it was ligit.

[white geyser]

They are not done with season 4

[livid swift]

is the UBGL smoke disappearing in 2 seconds a bug or a feature? Tried smoking my way to an objective with the SFAR ubgl and it didn't work 🤡

[cloud bramble]

whats up with matchmaking? it says matchmaking failed

[robust vapor]

Alright Prime let's bring you back to Cybertron

[onyx mica]

is a song

I am coming back

[robust vapor]

Battlefield: Cybertron

[onyx mica]

home

👍

[robust vapor]

We play as soldier bots

[onyx mica]

lol

[karmic egret]

Battlefield 2077, now with 2077 more bugs

[onyx mica]

I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars. We are here. We are waiting.

[white geyser]

Battlefield: apocalypse

[robust vapor]

We already got a future BF game long time ago

[onyx mica]

rip duck he is not with us anymore

[robust vapor]

2142

[onyx mica]

ok nvm

[robust vapor]

I hope they remake it with current graphics

[white geyser]

Try 2242

[robust vapor]

At the very least I'll play 2042 over MW22 anyday

[onyx mica]

jaja

[granite island]

I'm going to be real depressed when that season 5 trailer drops and they show footage of hourglass rework but the huge empty spaces haven't been changed or have been slightly changed (small buildings and co trainers)

Hopefully the multiple empty spaces won't be empty

And there will be more objectives

[upbeat sand]

i hope the statium and the buildings have a bigger presence

cause on the spawn screen you can see so many buildings out of bounds which looks like it has potential

[fervent rose]

the giant open sand dune area needs to just be background

[granite island]

Don't put stadium in middle

That's just kaleidoscope 2.0

[fervent rose]

i hope its closer to the highway than it is now

city highway stadium should be the 3 focus points

ending breakthrough on the stadium area would be nice

[granite island]

Watch them make the stadium out of bounds like the observatory on breakway

[fervent rose]

hopefully not, the stadium is cool. the observatory did nothing for anyone but sundance

[granite island]

They could make the stadium glow

Like the buildings

[lusty root]

Y do i keep getting kicked from the game bru

is battle field having problems??

[robust vapor]

I got kicked too

[pine roost]

alrighty then. Squads. Let's see whats up

having random icons is a neat touch

also when it refers to squad orders, isn't that just telling your squad to attack a certain objective?

[granite island]

Yes I think

[pine roost]

so yeah they are missing kicking and making squads private. Aside from that, it's a squads menu

[honest belfry]

We need 5 or 6 players per squad. I have more than three friends!

[low timber]

There is kicking

[robust vapor]

BF1 has 5 player squads

V has 4

Hopefully 2042 has 6

[pine roost]

wasn't mentioned in the notes so I assumed it wasn't there, if so then that's great

[abstract shuttle]

im not sure if youre aware but the technology just isnt there yet

they can count up to 4

thats why they had to use names like V and 2042

[upbeat sand]

c ant believe the penguins are slay girlbosses

[onyx jolt]

still missing squad naming and commander role 😄

[rocky kraken]

still think by the looks of it

it was made with minimal effort

also i think they should make call ins for vehicles cost points

[rocky kraken]

its 4

[upbeat sand]

1. battlefield has never had squad naming
2. eeeh i got nothing negative

but commander is probably not gonna work that well cause of all the solos

[rocky kraken]

only thing i think is negative is not adding in missile call ins

[upbeat sand]

sam

e

[rocky kraken]

and point system

at least make ranger cost points

and maybe add some more of them

also where the hell are the new drones

we have 1 drone after a year

and a half

[upbeat sand]

i just want to make things kaboom with big boom boom

[rocky kraken]

also

when is the gunplay rework

it is downright horrendous right now

[robust vapor]

5*

[rocky kraken]

in 2042

its gonna stay 4

[pine roost]

Good. Don’t want any more annoying drones

[rocky kraken]

drones are cool

[upbeat sand]

people saying anything on twitter

[rocky kraken]

if done right

[upbeat sand]

like why do the twitter folks want 8 man squad

[rocky kraken]

kinda wish theyd make a support ranger

that drops ammo and stuff

[upbeat sand]

that would be horrendous as defence

[rocky kraken]

i mean

it still shows that stealth bomber on the loading screen

possible drone?

[pine roost]

Stealth bomber is the very last thing we need right now

[upbeat sand]

hope drone yes

[rocky kraken]

though its sad there is a 90% chance the game is canceled after season 5

meaning the game will never be good

or finished

[upbeat sand]

i hope it dosent

cause if they do

[rocky kraken]

honestly whatver makes the next game better

[upbeat sand]

its just BFV all over again

[rocky kraken]

they should do

[upbeat sand]

EA never learns

[rocky kraken]

i think to season 8 would be good

[upbeat sand]

more.

double digets

[rocky kraken]

i wouldnt want that

because then the next game probably wouldnt get enough attention

[low timber]

https://twitter.com/bfbulletin/status/1656390849997991939?s=46&t=fuGYL00LkSO5VymYKy1E3A

[upbeat sand]

ya by then they probably need to go full on live game apex style

[rocky kraken]

tbh from the ea call it seems like thats what they are going to do with the next title

full live service model

[upbeat sand]

full on

[rocky kraken]

ytea

unlike 2042

[upbeat sand]

wack

[rocky kraken]

shit

[upbeat sand]

does this mean Apex level of content

where its just skins

[rocky kraken]

might as well do that because the next engine supports that hopefully

[pine roost]

Cool

[rocky kraken]

frostbite 4 should make content creation faster and easier

unless its ass

[pine roost]

Bruh 2042 is live service

[upbeat sand]

i wish they brang back the BFV tides of war style

[rocky kraken]

i know it is

[pine roost]

What doesn’t make it live service

[rocky kraken]

its the shitty version

[upbeat sand]

free stuff for everyone

plus missions

[rocky kraken]

a shit live service model

that needs to be gone

the fact that they are giving us squad management a year and a half in

as content is criminal

at least they gave it to us eventually

[onyx jolt]

battlefield 2 did, I just checked

and it is crucial so you can open a recon squad for example

but these devs don't like looking at past good features it seems^^

[upbeat sand]

but with modern battlefield BFV, bf1, bf4 and bf3 didnt have it

it wouldnt be at the priotiy list

[onyx jolt]

it would be on my release date priority list if I was working on bf^^

[pine roost]

Mostly due to the fact that it would be hell to attempt to censor

I have no doubt you have good intentions, but the majority of the playerbase won’t

[onyx jolt]

holding hands is in these days

[pine roost]

Sure is

[upbeat sand]

thats much more of a personal thing than a mandatory battlefield thing

[pine roost]

But I guarantee that is the reason they haven’t done it

I mean we lacked all chat for the better part of a year for the same reason

[upbeat sand]

Ea's way of fighting toxicity isnt good yes

[onyx jolt]

beanie be honest you never played 2 and I did and people used it in good ways that improved teamwork and coordination

[livid swift]

gunplay rework? next Battlefield game 😂

[upbeat sand]

i never said i did

[rocky kraken]

bf5 had 2 ttk reworks

desperatley needed in 2042

there is no skill in gunplay and a lack of several mechanics

[pine roost]

The only thing I’d ask for is a bit more vertical recoil to even things out

[livid swift]

and the current development gives you hope for that? no waaaay

[rocky kraken]

mostly the same devs as bf5

so

maybe?

[livid swift]

they will take the whole of season 5 to struggle with improving vault weapons by the looks of it...unless they announce more work for all guns you're looking at 5 months minimum for anything else gunplay related :))

[pine roost]

Also adding an exp bonus to fulfilling a squad order by the looks of it

[rocky kraken]

honestly

i wish tehy didnt do vault weps

[livid swift]

that's...groundbreaking!

[rocky kraken]

and made new weps

[karmic egret]

Me patiently waiting for S5

Finally have a full battlefield

[livid swift]

we finally out of beta soon™️

[karmic egret]

What an extra 17 months of development does to a mf game

[pine roost]

Honestly I’m most excited by the proposed vehicle loadout changes

[karmic egret]

Keep your expectations low

[pine roost]

Well it’s hard to mess up removing the transport weaponry

[karmic egret]

They would have already done that by now

[pine roost]

They would have done squad management at launch but here we are

They could have nerfed the rm but here we are

Might as well just be patient

Clearly it takes an absolute age to catch up

[karmic egret]

Swedes are just built different

[onyx jolt]

bf2s squad management was purrfect imo

just copy that and put it in every launch from now on 😄

[upbeat sand]

i doubt any bf2 devs are still at the company

[karmic egret]

Battlefield 2
That's fucking ancient

[abstract shuttle]

battlefield 2 is the first battlefield i tried and hated it so much that i havent touched battlefield ever since

[onyx jolt]

david sirland the guy in charge of the next bf worked on 2 afaik

[karmic egret]

I'm honestly ashamed the an Australian is the CEO of EA

[upbeat sand]

there is 1 thing BF2 is definitely never coming back in anyway with th current state of DICE

[abstract shuttle]

it had the worst-feeling gunplay ive ever experienced in a videogame

[karmic egret]

Man should have his Australian citizenship revoked

[abstract shuttle]

every gun had bloom and randomness to its recoil patterns

[upbeat sand]

just go to NSW service and tell em he commited treason

[plain hamlet]

to be fair bf2 is quite old

so it’s not surprising that maybe the gunplay wasn’t very strong, but i didn’t play it so i can’t say

[abstract shuttle]

2005 is not that old, half a decade after counter-strike

[livid swift]

old or not, it's DICE DNA which was lost along the way, vision...

[plain hamlet]

i mean that’s almost 20 years at this point

[karmic egret]

Battlefield 2 would be an absolute dumpster fire if it was released today

[upbeat sand]

modern gaming is def not looking for a BF2 style game rn

[abstract shuttle]

its like they wanted to apply some of the recoil randomness of CS, without realizing what makes CS recoil feel good is that controlling it is a learnable skill and not a randomness

[upbeat sand]

thats a bit to hardcore for current battlefield

[karmic egret]

Battlefield V had some BF2 mechanics and yea didn't turn out real well

[pine roost]

Stalker soc type beat

[upbeat sand]

was it attrition\

[plain hamlet]

i was riding over toddlers in daycare with my tricycle when bf2 got released

[pine roost]

[upbeat sand]

bf2 is definitely a required taste

[karmic egret]

We don't talk about attrition

[upbeat sand]

i dont see it as a pick up and play style of game

[karmic egret]

Acquired you mean

[upbeat sand]

i have no english

[karmic egret]

You be speaking Engrish

[plain hamlet]

bfV had some of the most fun weapons tho

[upbeat sand]

me don unstanding yuror langoge

[abstract shuttle]

ww2 guns 🤮

[upbeat sand]

im waitinf for my 1942 vault

[plain hamlet]

drilling shotgun

[upbeat sand]

gimme

[karmic egret]

There ain't really many weapons that can be vaulted from 1942

[plain hamlet]

i love my m16 in 2042 and can’t wait for attachments

wait that means they’re gonna remove the heavy barrel

[karmic egret]

The only weapon I can think of that can be vaulted is the 12g automatic shotgun

[upbeat sand]

whad bout the M2 carbine

or the STG

or tompson (which is technically also in BC2 portal)

brengun could work ish

[plain hamlet]

i need a lewis

[upbeat sand]

fuck it show me a m2 carbine with a long barrel and X6

[karmic egret]

Doesn't really suit the time period it could have a lore bit which the no pats are scavenging for any firearms they can find

[onyx jolt]

yeah I hope they do make the squads like in bf2, 6 members, lockable/nameable custom squads....commander was kinda fun too with recon teams going after the assets etc.

[upbeat sand]

i mean there is a playercard of crawford thinking about how guns should be used not be on shelves in a 1942 card

[karmic egret]

Maybe the best weaponry are suited for the elite no pat forces like the specialists we play in game

[slender isle]

M2 carbine with a drum mag, long barrel, underbarrel nade launcher and a 10x scope

[upbeat sand]

makay: im gonna use the brand new standard issue assault rifle
Sundance: im going to use this top of the line shotgun

crawford: F U C K I N G B R I T I A N M A T E Y O U G O T A S T E N? Y O U G O T A S T E N M A T E? WE G O T F U C K I N G B R E N G U N S

[karmic egret]

I mean it would suit Crawford, since he is an arms dealer

[upbeat sand]

F U C K I N G B R I T I AN Y E A H https://youtu.be/x10sASaRlP0

[karmic egret]

This will keep those fuckers entertained- Crawford 2023

[upbeat sand]

crawford has B R I T I A N in his veigns

[karmic egret]

Veins

[upbeat sand]

engles

[pine roost]

It’s ironic that a Brit is an arms dealer seeing as guns just kind of don’t exist here

[fervent rose]

making m16 bad by removing heavy barrel would be a classic dice move

[arctic grove]

DICE moves are so predictable sometimes tbh

[fervent rose]

and so unpredictable other times

[arctic grove]

Im betting they wont be a season 5

I mean 6

[fervent rose]

ye probably nothing after 5

why would it be a secret

makes no sense to hide the fact that support will continue

[arctic grove]

idk they might say something next week

[pine roost]

They are probably just as unsure themselves

[arctic grove]

Doubt it they defintley know what they are oding

*doing

[onyx jolt]

next bf is still a while a way imo, so as long as you guys keep buying their skins etc., they'll probably continue support until a few months before the next bf imo

[arctic grove]

the next battlefield most likely will be a futureistic game

idk i just feel like

[pine roost]

I’d be down if it has titanfall jump kits
