they shouldn't be good, there's no reason for the shitter crutch to be competitive
@remote kiln besides that, why is it good ?
dozer shield is already wild for having a free one hit melee kill
I detect an RM main š
Running behind a mate with a shield works excelent
just let me have some kind of counter to lil birds DICE... pls...
when 75% of the deaths i receive are from rm68 i have no issue also using rm68. the shame is with dice taking 3 months to nerf it
Mackay on it and c4 it
a lil bird?
I play m16 cuz it beats rm easy
Yes
get me some footage of that
It would be pretty great if you could tap E while behind Dozer to match speeds and stay close behind him until tap E again, like holding the shoulder of the breacher ahead of you type movement
I never did that and never seen it. But i was thinking about it how cool that would look
Omg yes
so it's not a viable counter to lil birds
pretty sure mackay would insta die now instead of landing safely on it
Probably not
Didn't medal of honor have something like that?
Roadkilling with bird is fun
it'd have to be hovering and not moving
Make the little bird vulnerable to small arms fire!
Thats nuts
^ why do AP rounds not fuck up little birds
medal of honor was an unsung hero of a video game... so good
Right? Loved it.
Why is the tank so bad
I'm convinced the lil bird is the favorite of the dev team
TOR is bae but normal tank
gross
Seems to be only battlefield where Iām not good with it
daily reminder that TOR Maul should be deleted
I went 36/0 with 17 assists in tor hehehe
i suspect many of them are vehicle abusers
disagree, until there's some other kind of counter to the lil bird
Maybe make the HAMMER kill lil birds in one shot, then I would be ok with it
the tor maul completely ruins all ground vehicle balance
Vehicle load out is being reworked completely in Season 5. So Hopefully there's a fix coming
maybe if there were some of the teamwork that DICE claims exists
source?
Dev notes
there is teamwork in the game, you just don't like it (super hind farming)
remove cannons from jeep/hind, remove mortar from wildcat, remove TOR maul
it's possible
Well, vehicles are being moved around
I don't like it? Or you don't like it
1 crawford alone is annoying
A squad full of Crawford can shred a tank without overheating even once
this is false and i dont want to hear it. the tanker will destroy all 4 of them
Didn't say it's likely to succeed but they can do the damage if allowed š
Ur a hater
Top G moment

i do hate the turret! it's bad
portal mode: tanks vs crawford turret only... 128 player
Why bad
why use the turret when I can lcmg/rpt
Cuz u have a shield plus more brrr
shield is mid tbf
a squad of 4 crawfords lol
it's not more brrr, and you're a free headshot
just set up like a + shape of his machine gun
Well i aint playing engi anyway, they bad af
the crawford turret is too inaccurate compared to the laser beam lmg's
zero point in it imo
give assault the repair tool and I'm good with that
Honestly yeah.
Lis has something to say about that
Lis is the best and atill weak
no
Literally
Liz weak yes
Lis ... weak ... lol
the best ground vehicle killers are still sundance/mackay, and thats silly
Ye
The cool down for her rockets arenāt enough to genuinely kill a tank in an actual lobby
Currently leveling Lis primarily. She is great.
yeah but you don't have to be the one to kill the tank
Youād have to be a doof to die by a lis at full health
oh no, i can't kill a tank in 2 TV missiles, maybe one of my 63 teammates can help?
ye you need a convergence of players and even then the Irish APS completely negates lissiles
why does everyone think that if they don't personally get the kill the operator must be useless lol
I stick with turret buff for boris. Make them very strong but only shoot aa or at. U canāt switch modes while alive. Just 2 dif turrets
not by themself, but with the nonexistent teamplay...
Itās just not as worth it when thereās better tools in the engineer class
She is fun but compared to others meh
lis > any other engi by far
I remember when they released Lis, her passive worked while you drove a vehicle. That was a fun time
just cause C5 kills any vehicles doesn't invalidate Lissiles, just the dumbest logic. yeah let me toss my C5 at the chopper from the ground
if you only do a little bit of damage at a time and nobody else is helping, you're functionally wasting your time doing nothing
crawdad > all
lis is definitely a threat, but only if a bunch of other lis are active
M Tank is bad tor is good
you do 27 damage to MBT with a lissile, so it only takes 2 running around focusing on that tank
I want flak cannon on MBT pls
There shoudlnt even be such thing as a bunch of fkn liz got I hate EA
Ye thats what i feel soing lis. I just do dmg but rarely the assist or even the kills. I can do 5 more kills by normal gameplay then
they need to lower lis missle sound. it too loud 
any half decent tanker is ignoring lissiles with Irish APS in the current meta
lis missile is appropriately concerning to hear š
I can kill a damaged vehicle from fkin 500m away. can i throw the C5 that far
but weren't you just saying that the irish nerf is a bad thing?
I use the rockets to kill vehicles, one shooting stealth chopparhs and when a sniper is stationary and needs to learn it the hard way. Lis is great.
Never in my life
irish needs nerfing
he's too good at denying infantry gameplay loop and the vehicle combo stuff is insanely broken
irish nerf will buff both lis and the Hind
U could just do the recoiless boomer
If u need liz for that
Skill issue
hind laughs at this
breh lol

Why hind
because hind getting hit by recoilless is a pilot skill issue
and the little bird
shoot down all those nightbirds with your M5
lil bird should die to regular ammo
thats what ap is for
Idc about them tbh
they care about you
Na
Is there a reason vehicle skins donāt render past 150m???
optimization
game already runs poorly enough
Lol
"Look! A little bird is shredding us!"
"Quick, change ammo types!"
Lil bird is gone, infantry gets shredded by ground troops
Make lil bird die to regular ammo
i do this. i keep that ap on me at all times
Naaa
Liz is bad and anyone that plays her is the same as a rose main in modern warfare
Idk who rose is
dafuq is a rose main. Translate that for bf players
who the fk is rose
i feel like anybody that shoots AP at a nightbird is just asking to be minigun'd 2 seconds later anyway
Yeah what this guy said
(Iām a heli main and want people@to stop playing lis)
Just dodge
Just awful
play Lis for memeing on kids
so not lis
the only AP rounds that dont work is the AK. idk wha tthe issue is but it cant hit vehicles
you know you hate being Lissiled in the face randomly as you're trudging across the desert
too funny
Makes the walk worth it
I hate her accent I hate her goofy red hair I hate her rocket
I just sprint jump infront of it, slide and lay down. Never got hit when doing this
Ooh I know how to balance lil birds! Remove directional hit markers for their pilots

Amen
Make their hit boxes like 4 times bigger
Invisible hit box
Gg
yes but only lil birds, no other aircraft
Yes
Denied
Meanwhile give Apache and hokum another main gun, extra set of flares and quicker repair
š
Like Iām not a helo main I use support tanks, helicopters and jets and Snipe and medic and I have most of these things in mastery so people canāt use me. Hating her as an excuse. That Iām a sweat Iām not. Sheās an awful character and her abilities awful, and it gets abuse. All the time to the point where thereās no point in using vehicles if your team is incompetent, which is most of the time.

Whats wrong with being a sweat
He jelly
anyone better than you is a sweat and that's bad!
Jelly bish
i just posted a vid of Lis 2.0 in #streams-and-videos . T1'd and done for now, but it was the funniest specialist to play
NTW + AT mines + Lis is deadly at all ranges
Liz mains, are either 50 kg and or all Play alone
Liz aint a comedian how can she be the funniest.
play wiff me daddy beetle
Cant we rename boris to borderlineboris cuz he aint having a good time in the game and getn bullied
Simp
Jk idk I only play the black fella and fly the helicopters (Iām a loser)
Ye we here for the funs
Thatās not true, I drive a 1990 Honda civic, live with my parents, work at GameStop part time and have never had a girlfriend
Fun fact I once said that to a lad and he got mad at me 
Goals
I mean having parents
Well i still got mine
Iām going to metamorphosis now
Just kidding but i think thats a funny quote
really punching down on all us test tube babies rn
Wym
They are like hulks
Test tube babies you mean Vought products
Just lost my apache because the team refuse to use anti air and refuse to kill their anti air and refuse to kill their tanks and just consistently displayed how no one knows how to play the game and now weāre losing because theyāre only good air helicopter players are getting shut down instantly
Ppl without parents groe up with alot of pain, and i think thats beautiful
Good air support means nothing if the infantry are dodo brains
If u never felt pain, u never felt reality
Not the dodos
just use Lis on air support 
Played yesterday and dominated, but we still lost like 0-700
My absolute favorite is spawning and getting TOR tanked though
Absolutely no counter play except smashing your screen with your hand
Its ur fault for being bad. If u know they wont do shit why u getn into the fights. Dodo gameplay
Yep
Lol
True, be a good transport heli but it won't matter as the team sucks ass on using your spawn properly
Watch out its the mods
Lmaoo fr
I gave up flying the super hind
I stopped long time ago tho cuz it was just so broken. Wasnāt fun.
I still give that experience in BT
I really don't give a shit if people get kills with the op gun, all I want is the objective taken and cheeky areas used
wait where did exdous go i thought it was meant to be a permanent mode ?
fax
theres no permanent modes. although i think regular breakthrough has never been removed so far
Don't worry it will come back
I know it will come back its just annoying that everytime i start playing the game again it just goes
Remember when rush was a limited mode
did they add random inputs to helicopters and jets or was i just on a very laggy server?
Lag
remember when Rush was a well balanced experience with layouts that made sense and had vehicle setups that aren't rage inducing
If it was the former, you would be hearing my bitching from the top of a mountain
Oh do we have rush xl
I actually miss the 128 player breakthrough
thank goodness
You can steamroll the first 2-3 objs, and then the last one itās like get fucked nerd
That's depending on the map
Hot damn. Getting the Tuesday blues strong today
You will definitely get a better experience than boring cq
Cap
Discarded actually went to being a balanced BT map
Conquest > every other game mode (itās been proven by paid scientists)
get in a vehicle
^
Breakthrough is the best mode
And piss off the camping tors yeah right
Lmaoo
Quick question: rather k30 or mp9 with the big suppressors for epic stealth plays?
drive around them
So weāre all in agreement that the TOR tank should be reworked or removed?
Great
Yeah
I vote for deletion of all vehicles, which is why i love TDM so much
all out superiority should replace tdm in AOW
There a game for that

It's called cod
the TOR tank is the worst thing added to the game post launch
Iād cry
It is
Hands down
They didnāt QA test it at all
it is so poorly thought out
Instead of artillery or anything, they add a fucking tank with insane velocity
āWeāll give it two seats, that should balance itā
Ever since only ENGINEERS got rockets, dealing with vechicles has become such a royal pain
Yeah the balance isnāt good
now i have to... what... go with falck and ammo crate and SFAR AP nades to DPS a tank like a destiny raid boss?
It destroys air vehicles too
OOop i compared BF to destiny that's a harsh insult
Lmao
KEK
I wish we could go back to like the release version with updated maps, but the old vehicle stuff
Jets and helis using same category, but having like 2-3 of them
M1A5 still superior to TOR
So thereās actually air battles
oh, the 8 flying hovercrafts and invincible boltes meta? yeah, lets go back to month 1
Not that shite

skybox apache 2nd seat 
Just remove the tor god damn
this game had so many hilarious vehicle problems (and they still do)
Pre nerf Hokum cannon
I canāt believe that shit is in the game
LUL
Ye that sucks
I think itās because the Apache is slightly smaller than the hokum
So In dice mind, thatās balanced
i like all the sweeping, massive changes they do to the specialists nonstop, have messed with their T1 requirements at least 20 times now, and yet vehicles can't have their guns swapped out past month 1 changes
Bumper copter go boom
Still using flares and repairs
Literally no equipment change
So fucking lame
fr
but see it's fun being killed by a 50m cannon on a LATV parked backwards 250m away
haha fun
I wish they used bf5 way of like getting ammo.
Make the vehicles a little stronger, but harder to use
hell no gotta have something to upset the night bird and stealth mains
i can support this for anti air, but man, yeah, annoying af
they should just make the miniguns better at AA
Or maybe yea, emplaced guns!
Stealth choppers are dog water. If you have decent air support theyāre no problem
wild new idea
50mm shouldnt be on the jeep at all obv
Casper?
You good, bro?
Need a hug with hot chocolate and marshmallows?
i fkin love flak cannons, yeah slap it on
Where you go to the supply station thing ?
give the tor a flak pod too.
No
Iām a irish Man until I die
Why am i getting instantly killed i don't remember it being like this
Skill + issue
The only way to destroy them with air is getting above them⦠they can throw down those little things too so you canāt shoot from distance
TOR already has a fucking HMG
in the name of balanceeeee
its not a skill issue lmao
Tell us that getting killed isn't a skill issue
everyone gets insta'd in current 2042, even the best players
Did they change the ttk ?
the damage ranges/accuracy of ARs are at wild levels
no, but they "fixed" the recoil bug
although with everyone using rm68 it kind of is a TTK change 
that thing is so over tuned for its accuracy
100% the ttk has changed it use to take longer to kill people
How many helis on one team can be up at once in regular conquest?
the only changes i can think of are removing most of the armor and the small AR headshot multiplier buff
depends on the map
Anyone know what the FALT is in game? Loads of the specialists have outfits with FALT on them
unless you havent played since launch
because they totally reworked all guns ~6 months into the game i think
the game has moved much faster with the playerbase maturing over seasons, it's not what it used to be
people get better optimise etc etc
The recoil bug got fixed 3-4 months ago
people naturally are shooting better
it is much easier to full auto and make the downward microadjustments compared to 6 months ago
proxy org used by the Americans/Russians
like, Blackwater, I guess
Falt stands for Foreign Activities Liaison Team
I mean i stopped at the start of season 4 because i wanted a break and tried to play it again now but the ttk seems way different that's all but maybe your right maybe its just players have got better and that i don't know
TTK hasn't changed, RM68 is still a slower TTK than a bunch of weapons. the servers and netcode have just been utter trash for the past few months
I need to play this more
crossplay kills feel absolutely horrid
the beauty of bad wifi
if you ever "die instantly" its probably because of some garbage coding between some kids original PS4 on wifi in argentina vs your fiber connection on your modern PC
Cross play is so good
FALT is a CIA hit squad, headed by Wolff. Lore stuff
Is Wolff a bad guy
Lore wise sorta
he's the good guy but is actually the bad guy! and the bad guy is actually the good guy!
the lore is very silly
Heās director of the nopat counter terrorism team or whatever at the CIA
And he believes Oz is a terrorist
the lore is weird cause it doesn't specifically define who's the good or bad guys. supposedly... we're actually playing the bad guys
Itās supposed to be morally grey
yea, exactly
I guess
US isnāt good, RU isnāt good, but the No pats arenāt really good either
Especially not Oz
But he does have noble goals now
from what I understand, we're always playing a soldier of one of the big splinter factions
The whole point of flashpoint is that itās where Oz plans to try to begin effectively terraforming using project Silver Spear
Which is the satellite
no i'd say at this point oz is the clear good guy in the situation
Iād agree
He wants the 4K pics
But up until now heās definitely been not the best
but the nopats integration into the story is hilarious and silly
Especially in the Exodus short film
No-Pats are..... LE BAD?!?!
like we're supposed to be working for wolff but now wolff is going to "hunt us down"
except next lobby i'm gonna join up and play on the US side with every specialist like nothing has changed
And what's the Russian side even doing
Just chilling I guess
Wolff was revealed to have ulterior motives in that whole Easter egg from last season
You know what, I'm all for Wolff
Oz wants that RTX 10k90ti
Well Wolff was all like āok thanks for making my job infinitely easier. I donāt need you anymore. See ya.ā And then launched a missile at the Nordvik facility
defending their sovereign territory, stopping illegal space weapons launches, seizing illegal weapons research, defending their allies from invasion, reclaiming stolen property....
so DICE is saying.... Russia... LE GOOD??
Because he got baited by Oz and Zain
Yes
wtf is "legal" in 2042
Btw Iām making a fanfic and so far Iāve made 3 OCs
is it just me or am i not able to get into an game?
just connecting to online servers
over and over
The whole thing is that Oz wants to use Silver Spear to create new land for the nopats, while Wolff doesnāt want that tech outside of US hands and will probably just use it to wage war on Russia.
update game
Repair game, then update
Holy shit this is like the general shepherd betrayal
Tbh yeah thatās an accurate description
Wolff and oz were on the same side at one point
Little too much water
oh the ice caps are melting too
Bruh London is flooded and Singapore had to build a sea wall
No, not really. Wolff was working with the Exodus team for a while, but then betrayed them.
Gotta keep the mermaid out
Oz took all the water from discarded and put it in london
They keep coming in illegally
Good
will try
I mean have you seen Florida on the loading screen
no my game loads too fast
That shit flooded as hell
London is still the same, just had a rainy day
Itās more like everyone and their mothers were claiming to be no pats and then started shit
So the US pressured Singapore to keep all no pats out to protect their interests
wolf and oz are like optimus and megatron
Thereās apparently organizations trying to do that
Which is also why they took over the old EU site in Kourou because they lost Cape Canaveral
Corporate Germany lmao
Synseco is the only reason why Egypt still stands
I mean itās Europe in general. I think itās the European Recovery Foundation or something. Look at the blue skins on the battlepass, they have the emblem on them
But apparently theyāre being very selective about who benefits from their tech
Will the feedback threads be staying up until the weekend?
You can see a lot of graffiti on the wall on that map, clearly a lot of people arenāt happy about it
Thatās just corpos for ya
Yea

Even though the US attacked it, it wonāt change much
where is the repair toooll???
Nice pretty cool stuff so it's basically the leviathan division vs the FALT
Itās with the characters in the engineer class
i dont see it
Itās equipped by default
kbm hit 5
You donāt have to select it, youāll always spawn with it
repair tool isn't a selectable gadget
it's universal for the engineer classed specialists
universal repair tool yet not a single engineer repping on my busted ass team 
Effectively yeah
yo but for real, how do you check your repair tool level / t1 progress? i could not figure that out with the change lately. same with medpen/spawnpoint/paddles
Should be visible on your badges
in your collections
That too
@radiant prism so what revisions would you say I should do for that map I sent you?
It seems pretty good, Iām not sure off the top of my head what changes would need to be made
Lol
that would be hilarious
i would like a bf rts
Itās actually gonna be one of those mobile base builders
DICE does a Bungie?
halo wars was dope
Post it in here for everyone to see. I want to see what everyone has to say
so i dont see why bf rts wouldnt be
if you want a BF RTS just go play company of heroes, there's not gonna be a better one
CoH is also good
i've never played 3, but CoH 2 was amazing
Ok so everyone this is the map I made showing the state of the world based on what I could piece together from the lore. What do yāall think?
ok fr I would love it if there was a campaign-esque meta around the core gameplay, like country allegiances would dynamically shift throughout the seasons depending on how actual matches are turning out. Like if for some reason RU just simply won more often than US on a specific map that would have an impact on the storyline and have some implications somehow
Yeah but that could just be bad map balance 
Donāt spawn into a jet first chance
Your textures will get fucked
Played a game on manifest
coh2 had absolutely abysmal monetization
Mind you I play 1080p on Series S
š fair point actually
This shit looked like a slightly better Xbox One session
I had to restart and luckily that seemed to fix the issue
Also Sea of Thieves has low quality fingernails
to everyone who mains falck only to get inf heals and not revive anyone, i wish you a very happy plz uninstall
Fuck Boris Mains
Falck mains looking for teammate's necks to stomp on while shooting their medgun at the nearest wall for themselves like
And to the cunts that skip revive while I'm on my way, kindly shut down
This too

the "hardest" part of playing support while playing Falck 
honestly if they didn't magnetize themselves a bit it'd be so frustrating with the damn netcode
between ps/xbox/pc
was the syrette gun ever able to revive teammates or was it a feature they never added cause it made Falck too OP
in alpha
it was implied it was gonna revive people, and i don't think we ever saw it in action other than alpha
test
they will put damage numbers like apex apexfield
Do any girls without pimples play this game
What was DICE reasoning for not having a proper Server Browser again?
I dont have... Me?
lol what
who
yes i am IA
AI will end the world lol
The fuck is going on
nvm you got the wrong ghost the ghost who got kicked out of ea content creator was ghostgaming not ghost gaming...theres a huge difference
Hi there
wtf...
That's not the right one lmao
Ik but it is what it is
lad got verified and the bf one doesnāt
just doing a little bit of Tom foolery
Can you imagine.. it's already bad enough that medics don't throw smoke to cover the revive. Giving them revive from a distance... Ew.
it honestly doesn't make sense (to me) to play medics without smoke nades or launcher
because yeah, people would instantly get revived and die in the same moment with that feature
Nobody knows
Donāt need smoke if you wipe the enemy team 
youād think an EA podcast would just answer players most pressing questions
because podcasts are meant to be for the audience
It is for the audience, it successfully always makes me hungry for cookies 
or it could be that EA is trying to make a philosophical pieces about how capitalistic consumerism has destroyed society so much so that the only way to call it out is by applying a pragmatic example of why the deepest selfish desires of players has made them unsatisfied with even the most trivial of inconveniences
Who knows tho the devs are clearly smarter than we are
iirc one guy did a while back, I think it involved bots slowly making an area smaller to simulate a shrinking fighting area
well not all medics have smoke
At least they let you grind in portal
looking for teammates for cross play, playing 32v32 conquest
!!lfg
ā¹ Looking for Players to play with?
Head over to the Looking For Games channel category.
Please remember to state your region when looking for players to play with!
#lfg-crossplay #lfg-pc #lfg-xbox #lfg-playstation
ok, tks

Oh no, a mod, quick hide the party!
anybody else having bad lag today/
Runnn or I'll drizzle sparkles all over all of you XD
Hello!
Wait what?!
⨠⨠āØ
Oh no. It's too late. We have been sprinkled
Do i get wings?
Sure, if you play Sundance
That's my main so hell yeah
āØ
Why do I have so low fps in this game?
the game is CPU demanding
Love the flying squirrel š
i have good cpu
At least ask it for consent
Me too, but still
ye pet it a few times maybe
Yeah exactly
my GPU is always happy, it has a Stitch on it
There you go
guys why i cant find any lobby with players even in portal?
matchmaking does not work
Make sure your game is up to date
Check your filters everything like that
already checked
That happens to me sometimes. For me I let matchmaking timeout the whole 2 minutes and then quit the game. For me that seems to unstick the EA app
probably out of date with ea not finding the updates

For others, they need to run a repair of the game for it to understand there's an update
Squad management is cool and all but whenās the firing input fix š
got crossplay on?
doing that
yeah
double checked? Sometimes it turns crossplay off by itself
every darn update my friend has to repair the game due the update corrupts his game. it's so weird
Angel needs to be given a rigged explosive supply crate
i'll see if this does anything
Suicide bomber?
The drop in supply crate
Angel of death?
no, angel just needs a homing supply crate that also recruits the people it lands on
Hate that
High IQ crate
Homing crate would be hilarious
Just drop it on the tank
Hate when I call something in and it gets stuck
Like the airdrop trap from cod
Yeah that too
just ends up destroyed on the ground

Yes
What skin 
sup chat
Sup!
The green black skins are trash anyway
Isk why anyone would buy it
Love the skins that drop before the thing getn nerfed
i'd wear those green-black ones before those walking flaregun orange-black suits offered to half the specialists. just silly
What did you walk in on
Lmao what
Fortnite in battlefield
There is no one in this server š
(whats up with the icon overlapping bug I've been getting anyway)
After noon everyone
Howdy partner
Guess they felt it could be abused.. I mean I get it, but at the same time why should my 3 man squad have to leave the one we are in and make a new one, just to get the last guy in. Not to mention the chances of some random that came into the game late getting that spot just before the last guy joins.
nope
So how is this squad management?
they felt it was "not beneficial behaviour for ptfoing in a co-operative manner" to have kick/lock available
I dont want to be critical of any devs but uhhhhh they should check the definition of squad management.
same, I think it is complete BS, all it takes is 1 person to inconvenient the other 3. It is unfair, and stupid
I did get kicked a lot from random squads back in BFV
So? Join another?
it was annoying in squad conquest when there was one full squad and one locked squad with 3 guys in
I mean Iām not against it being there
But I guess I see where theyāre coming from
Randos in squad tends to end up like that sometimes
so do I, but I understand they must have their own reason of kicking me out of their squad, maybe they want to squad up with their friends, etc
That is a Certified Battlefield Moment
They should make the next BF game call BF:PC
its not like it cant be misused, but on the other hand it's only bf
I don't get my feeling "hurt" because some randos kicked me out of their squad
What lol
I always tried to create my own squad in bfv
Iām gonna let DICE speak for them selves though, I donāt think weāve actually gotten an official statement from them on this yet
Dont forget to add inclusivity
PC umbrellas that term
I think that straaford post already said everything we need to know
^
they can wrap it up in some nice words, but we all know that it means
What does squad management have to do with political correctness?? Lmao
We played like this with no Squad Management for Year.. I don't expect it to be a lot different
Yeah. seems like a good public statement that didnt need to be hidden.
This tbh. What else do you need squad management for besides squadding up with friends?
The most squad management I've ever done was giving out orders for point 
My squadmates rarely talk to each other
Best bonus point feature
the orders barely even function
Squad Orders is what will make the most from it
you have to do it like 3 times before it actually works
I mean points for giving out/following orders is nice, but why are people really making such a big fuss over this
For all PTFO players, Its free XP
Itās just like fucking VOIP
it still baffles me that they had such a functioning system in bfv and it became this
Did everyone forgot the game was released with no scoreboards, no all chats, no voip?
their reasoning is they want to avoid "toxicity"
we all know how that worked out
it is a staple of battlefield games. You probably dont need it, many players do
Its more reasonable than other Legacy Features tho
No Scoreboard was big OOF
that was like the most positive thing bfv added
I just really hate the road DICE is going. It is not looking great at all.
Lmao what. Yes I know it was in previous games but people are act like this is the difference between being GOTY or not
I like that you'll see if a squad has a friend though. Something I've wanted in previous titles
Yes.!
im not saying it is absolutely necessary or game breaking. but it is what we expect from a typical Battlefield game, create a squad, invite players to squad, join a squad
It is the bare minimum I dare say
but how can you hate the direction DICE is going? All of those things are now in the game even though not at launch?
I guess as someone whoās mostly a solo player, I donāt care that much about squad locking. I guess people who usually have a squad care more.
The direction they're going is adding those things that you are saying made it look bad (that they were missing)
Ok but you can do all that in the main menu lol
A party system has been in the game since the beta
And it works just fine
I think all the specialists should get a new gadget thatās just a gun with a round barrel that directs the bullet right into their head. It would finally make specialists into a system I could get behind.
because along the way they realised they f'd up, so they bring it back, tell us they are nice to release "legacy features"
Not against it for that reason just to reiterate but I still donāt get why people are so pissed about this
I'm not pissed, just disappointed.
Agreed
Or not putting time into fixing things
Iām more focused on the community reaction
spending dev time on adding functionality to the game that should have been in it at launch and would have been easier to add prior to full release is a good thing but its also a bad thing
Idk maybe Iām just seeing a lot of parallels to the VOIP situation
Where people made a huge fuss over something no one ever uses
We came from great games like Battlefield 4, 1 to what we have now. And you cannot tell me this is an upgrade.
yeah but one they can do something about, the other requires a time machine
yeah but I'm not gonna praise them for cleaning up their own mess
I praise my children all the time for cleaning up their own mess instead of me doing it š š
especially when it dips into what else they could be doing with that time
this is like the kids praising the parents for cleaning up their own puke on the carpet after going on a bender all night
exactly. these features should be in the game before its released, not 6 months after.
It's not like we could fix anything they did
bfv handled squads really really well, the immediate successor game took a massive shit on squads
what is their other option than fix the game? Leave it broken while they take time to create the next BF?
imo yes
guys it's a little sandy
but that would be a wonderful world where we could drop garbage and make a decent game instead of trying to squeeze blood out of a stone

I donāt care about functionality, I want more skins for the specialists!!!! I bought every elite skin in BFV; why canāt I make Sundance wear a bright pink and purple unicorn outfit?!
it gets everywhere
Theyāre so awesome, did you buy all our cosmetics yet?
but this leaves everyone unhappy for at least a couple years, whereas fixing the game at least makes some people happy
Can you imagine the backlash if they just abandoned the game right away?
First impression probably ruined a lot of potential long term players experience
Like is that really what weāre talking about here?
And then theyāll announce Battlefield 7 
Right everyone wanted them to admit they made mistakes and calling for specific fixes and features. They've been focused entirely on doing exactly that and now it's not the right thing for them to do.
Real lose lose situation there
I can't wait for the reaction when they officially abandon 2042 after season 5
"Next Battlefield is going to be better"
I canāt wait for people to start using this game to bash the next one
its more of a too little too late thing imo
Like everyone did with BFV
āHey there no-pats! You didnāt buy enough of our skins, so weāre going to abandon the game and hope you like the specialist system next game!ā
would be nice to get the game out of beta status first, but i guess it is never happening
And the cycle continues
bfv had excellent guns and movement
bf1 didnt. 2042 doesnt
fuck the "cycle" bullshit
that's the classic BF pattern though don't you dare take that away from us. 33% will say "Next BF will be better", 33% will say "No way, they should just remaster X Y or Z Battlefield or I'm gone" and 33% will say "This one is peak, keep supporting this one forever and never make another one ever again"
im a firm believer that leaving 2042 to die quickly after release and putting all the resources into a new game would have made more people happy overall in the long term
Good luck getting someone to admit that back when it was going on.
apart from shareholders
okay but who cares what the redditors who dont play the game type
Donāt sit there and tell me the three years of hate BFV got didnāt happen.
one of the frequent actual compliments of bfv was guns and movement even back then (though lots of complaints about animations for everything)
it was everything else that got shat on
I played V from launch date to 2042ās launch, and was in love with that game, and the whole time no one would dare say a positive thing about it
speak with your wallet. Personally I'm not holding my breath for the next one
well i certainly wasnt "in love" with launch bfv either
To see people turn around today and call it a masterpiece is legitimately heartbreaking
but the gunplay and movement was good from the start
i havent seen anyone call it a masterpiece 
Accurate ww2 game lmfao
Lucky you
the gunplay was strongest before the ttk changes which sucked
Sorry authentic
the devs gimped one of the strongest parts of their game
Game never was, everyone I knew played it for the gunplay and movement. Game had nothing else redeeming about it, and the cosmetics shouldāve been a warning of what was to come.
fucked it right up
Oh bruh I completely forgot about the ttk bs lol
the ttk change alone was enough for me to know 2042 was going to be shit
That too
It meant the devs had no say in what happened ultimately since it was clearly a decision from above them
Which was going to be reflected in their next game
Fg42 needing 12 bullets at range to kill LMFAO
The elite skins and all the cringey redditors buying and gawking over them on the subreddit shouldāve let everyone know that the specialist system was on its way.
ellie skins does look heavily like a prototype for specs
I played on console but i remember people complaining about cheaters in bfv from day 1 until now
screenshots of the same cheater who hadnt been banned for months and months and months
ah yes, the infamous 5.2 update. classic Dice moment right there
one thing i will give to dice is that 5.2 was clearly not their decision
well on the subject of cosmetics...pretty nifty Boris skin this week
too bad its for boris
kek
Nah just on the normal subreddit, there were hundreds of posts of people talking about how quirky and cool the elite skins were. Every time one was added people would spas out over how quirky and cool they were. The elite skins and specialists are made to be walking in game advertisements for you to buy them yourself. There is a reason why games donāt let you customize cosmetics anymore and just have a single entire skin to use.
Didn't bfv have random recoil patterns? I don't remember custom I only used semi autos
Idk man, I always heard the opposite about specialists. Especially that one tom cruise guy
bfv technically has both
I think I prefer set patterns myself
Control spread via bursting
Again Just my preference
i do like bursting being relevant in games
you could control the spread to recoil by bursting
The bomber guy definitely broke the camels back, but do you remember the Japanese chick that everyone chimped out over?
god knows you werent hammering the trigger on the m1907 at range
I liked there being almost no spread in bfv
There were like cringey cartoon memes like you would get from Rainbow 6 sieges community
We talkin about BF2042 right...
now we have no spread in 2042!
Guys guys guys, when are we getting eastern front? I need to know
hooray!
no recoil and not enough spread to matter except on.. haha mp9
mp9 enjoyers get rolled
remember when MP9 and M5A3 CC rounds got nerfed? they were easily the best guns in game until season 1
And then the Avancys rode into town...
and they decided to leave the PBX as is for some reason
MP9 was so good tho
Can't even use it now...
yeah, it just tickles your nutsack now for the most part
you're shooting the mp9 wrong mate
nerf mp9 and release am40
M5A3 is still great tho
good stuff ya
M5A3 still pretty much as good as ever, it only lost like 30 ttk
Mp9 is a whole different gun after what they've done to it
thats because the pbx has blatantly incorrect cqc stats, and dice never makes mistakes so they dont need to fix it because its not broken
MP9 lost everything...
if pbx got "fixed" like you say it would never be used
It gets to revel in being slightly better than the AC9
if anything they should buff the other ammo types a bit
standard could be even better
like mp9s dogshit velocity didnt already make it crap, one of the only guns in the entire game with spread
they could just swap its current stats with standard and it would be relevant
it irritates me immensely that the cqc ammo has longer range than the standard ammo
Gimme P90 with Extended Mag, Champion Muzzlebreak & Laser 
i would accept completely shafting the pbx if it satisfied my statistics autism
yup the CC ammo ranges don't make a lick of sense
like i admit mp9 was maybe overtuned but overnerfing it is such a bad call
and they gave AR's bonus hs multi
wait until rm68 gets 10m 4btk and 600 rof
the game overall would play better with less instant headshot deaths but they made that worse
so what I'm hearing is that people agree Boris with MP9 is best...
GaaS seasonal meta: make new guns the best guns and nerf them just before you release more meta guns
if this was season 0, yea. that was basically the play lol
tbh i still think mp9 is better than the vector
vector is pretty irrelevant these days
I can use K30 more than MP9
Oh for me it's the other way around
Maybe just personal preference
MP9 only redeeming quality is 50 bullet mag, at that point, just use PP methinks
yeah if you want to dump bullets choose the pp
i just use am40 if im trying to get the old mp9 experience
pretty much
why use smg when AR do both
there's no reason to use mp9 or k30 at all
or any smg other than pbx or pp really
and then you've got ARs that can replace those as well
P90 is honestly better than most of the SMGs
this isnt hard when all the smgs suck
MP9 lets you move faster no? More so than other SMGs?
The PP and PBX are easily the best smgs, but I do like me the K30.
Like just cause ARs are better doesnt mean you cant enjoy SMGs.
Or watching someone melt like butter.
the issue with enjoying it is whenever i use one i keep thinking "i could be doing this but better with an AR"
short barrel m5 has comparable kill times to smgs with no spread
am40 is better up close than almost every smg with faster reloads
the ttk on smgs isn't competitive in their ideal range vs ARs and then they drop off hard
they're also missing ubgls
PBX makes up for this by having literally wrong stats so it's got juice and pp is just a ghetto AR with bigmag and fast reload
there is minimal reason to use any of them other than those two
i dont care about pbx having wrong stats as it actually makes it relevant, it's more that they know it's wrong but refuse to do anything about it
but they are arent they? not only that but the ROF means that missing shots up close isnt as detrimental as missing AR shots up close
that's mediated by requiring 1 more btk to kill up close
or 2 if it's the vector
not enough of an advantage
ttk is faster though..
it's more that the PBX outdoes all of them in that area
and if you miss a shot its not as big a deal considering rof...
there's no reason to use any of them other than the PBX if you want to do smg things
yes there is...
Is there a way to customize the grenade throw back button on console
what you are saying is just an outright lie
i've been taking inspiration from dice
season 5 when?
smgs are not the "ease of use, jack of all trade" weapons like most ARs are
but that absolutely does not mean they are not worth using
anyone getting "Matchmaking Timeout" errors when trying to join a conquest game
all portal servers seems to be empty with no players ?
short barrel m5 and am40 have the same rof as mp9
smgs are objectively better sub 30m than ARs in terms of ttk and follow up, and typically magazine size as well
am40 outdoes all smgs under 10m other than PBX
here, have some TTK values
https://i.redd.it/g5xkctjzo2ya1.png
you say that like that means something...
even people trying for cqc are probably only getting like.. 10% of their kills sub 10m...
and the am40 being the exception does not mean its the rule..
10m is a horrifically short distance yeah, but it's still 10% of kills
while then being comparable to smgs up to 30m
same with m5 short barrel
Way shared this awhile back, it's an up to date and exhaustive weapon breakdown
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UQsYeC3LiFEvgBt18AarXYvFN3DWzFN3DqRnyRHC0wc/edit?usp=sharing
its kind of ironic you are really trying to emphasize the importance of sub 10m kills but then turn around and say that smgs dont have a place in 2042 compared to ARs even though they are easily competitive against ARs sub 30m...
@next onyx is that still the correct link? Please correct me if that's the wrong sheet...
yeah, that's the spreadsheet its using actually lol. Sorrow built it on the 2043 discord
It is correct.
but graphs like that are kinda dumb cause it only says so much. that's all assuming body shots within the first damage drop off zone for the weapon
headshots will change all that
and people forget with a higher mag count and higher rof, missing shots is less detrimental
yeah, gives the idea of your style of weapon at least
granted you need to consider recoil as well and how easy it is in general to land shots in the first place
oh yes, just cause the AM40 is a killer sub 40m, doesn't mean you are landing all those bullets
basically anyone that just looks at any singular stat about a weapon and tries to generalize anything is doing it wrong
Only SMG that matters is the PBX but even so the am40, m5a3 and m16 are more reliable close up in massive part of their range and HS multiplier.
