battlefield-2042

[silk beacon]

My setup is perfectly fine too

[royal swan]

2042 was still playable at launch, it was annoying to play but you can play it, unlike fucking bf4

[cosmic sequoia]

The game would launch if this were correct

[silk beacon]

No?

[cosmic sequoia]

Yes..?

Lmao

[silk beacon]

...No

If cyberpunk works perfectly, why can't this?

[cosmic sequoia]

Oh right the game just works for the 50k other people but not you

[gleaming oriole]

Battlefield 3 wasn't great either. Wasn't unplayable... But holy shit was it unbalanced

[royal swan]

Those only happen on occasion, most of the time you can play it

[fallow swan]

how much gold thing can we get for free and on premium bp when completed

[royal swan]

How does that matter, we are talking about if you can play the game or not

[silk beacon]

Ryzen 7 5800x3d with 32gb ram and an RTX 3070, my setup is perfectly fine

[fallow swan]

also how long u guys think s4 will last

[cosmic sequoia]

“Man thousands of other people can play this game but not me, it CANT be me”

[stiff pollen]

3 more weeks

2 I think actually

[cosmic sequoia]

Okay with you saying this it shows you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Good luck. Refund and leave discord, ciao

[silk beacon]

So you think the game doesn't have issues?

[next onyx]

Jesus. I have almost the same specs as you snarf and I haven't had a single issue.

[royal swan]

Like I said bf2042 was very much playable but annoying to play

[fallow swan]

ok then I will wait then

how much gold can we get premium bp

[chilly jacinth]

It's a simple fact that this game just doesn't want to run sometimes

[cosmic sequoia]

Not issues with launching the game currently.

[silk beacon]

That's a big oof 😦

[random breach]

Trying to speedrun Irish T1 before the 'buff' happens

[silk beacon]

I'm launching the game just fine rn

[fallow swan]

have u tried turning on and off the pc?

[cosmic sequoia]

Yeah it’s almost like there’s a million other variables that go into launching a game

[robust vapor]

I like Kaleidoscope's rush XL as attacker

[pine roost]

Is there an error at all when it crashes now?

[cosmic sequoia]

posts specs “I KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT”

[robust vapor]

Someone hijacked an enemy hind

[silk beacon]

And you think it's only my setup

[robust vapor]

and I stole the condor from a friendly AI

💀

[silk beacon]

This windows install was done 2 weeks ago, my drivers are clean installed and I installed the game 3 hours ago

[cosmic sequoia]

facepalm if the game isn’t launching or working THEN IT IS YOUR SETUP. Your drivers could not be up to date, your game could need repaired, your BIOS settings could be ducking it

[next onyx]

It's such a fucking weird game because it goes well on one pc and shit on another like :////

[pine roost]

Do you get the same error still?

[royal swan]

Night birds are going to get fucked this season

[robust vapor]

try this -> ask someone to plant C5s on the underside of the condor

Get him on board as passenger

[silk beacon]

No not the same error, it's just crashing to desktop about 2 minutes into a game

[chilly jacinth]

Try reinstalling EAC

[silk beacon]

Literally tried the first 2 things and my bios is stock

[next onyx]

There should be a crash log somewhere.

[chilly jacinth]

For funsies

[silk beacon]

Any more useless ideas?

[pine roost]

Could it potentially be something to do with easy anti cheat?

[silk beacon]

Hm

[edgy oriole]

yeah refund the game if you cant run it

[royal swan]

Was it on a HDD or SDD

[cosmic sequoia]

Not when you’re acting like this lmao. It’s clearly your setup.

[pine roost]

Try deleting it and rerunning the game to install it from scratch

[cosmic sequoia]

Call support

[silk beacon]

Well I don't have anything running in the background except steam and netflix

[edgy oriole]

its all useless ideas. just refund

[cosmic sequoia]

Yep fr go away

[robust vapor]

if you had a friend and he rams, you as a passenger can detonate the C5s and destroy the nightbird easily

[ruby marsh]

GØDFIRE is looking for PS5 Battlefield 2042 players, someone that is dedicated and can play at least four nights a week. We are getting ready for some competitive play. # I G N I T E T H E F I R E
If you are ready please add me GFR_GODS-TROOPER / PlayStation 5 players only please, GFR_GODS-TROOPER

[robust vapor]

close proximity

[silk beacon]

You're the one being a bit of an ass tbh

[edgy oriole]

#739938247089848351

[silk beacon]

I'm just returning the favor

You blame my setup and think the game is perfect

[cosmic sequoia]

Because I pointed out that the issue is one only you are having, so it must be user related.

[royal swan]

Is the game on your SSD or HDD

[silk beacon]

You don't even consider it's the game

SSD

[edgy oriole]

its the game snarf. you should refund it

[silk beacon]

My m.2

[fallow swan]

can I get free s5 battlepass if I completed s4 premium bp with those points

[cosmic sequoia]

It’s not the game. Lmao.

Tech doesn’t work like that

[silk beacon]

This is why you're a clown

[cosmic sequoia]

Good one

[silk beacon]

Software does though

-_-

[edgy oriole]

dang game doesnt work on system and calls you a clown

[cosmic sequoia]

What does software run on

[royal swan]

I got nothing, I know that having it on your HDD makes your performance so much worse, take it from me who was forced to put it on HDD

[edgy oriole]

you should refund the game snarf

[cosmic sequoia]

Yeah fr refund and leave plsss

Ciao

[silk beacon]

I mean I already have refunded the game, but I'm not inclined to leave this server

[robust vapor]

If you don't spent the coins when you purchased S4 battlepass, yes you will consider getting it for "free"

[radiant prism]

[fallow swan]

OK

[edgy oriole]

so you refunded the game. and staying in the server to call someone a clown

[cosmic sequoia]

Amen

[edgy oriole]

smells like reddit troll to me

[fallow swan]

thanks for explanation @robust vapor

[robust vapor]

o/

[silk beacon]

He's literally telling me the game is perfectly stable and that it couldn't possibly be the game

So yes, he is a clown?

[robust vapor]

What's your setup @silk beacon ?

[cosmic sequoia]

Might I add someone who was trying to help him

[silk beacon]

You weren't trying to help

At all

[radiant prism]

This has to be bait

Lmao

[cosmic sequoia]

The game is stable. It doesn’t work like that. If the game had some major issue it wouldn’t not work just for you

That’s moronic

[silk beacon]

...

[cosmic sequoia]

That’s what a 80 year old lady would say

[silk beacon]

You hurt my soul

[cosmic sequoia]

Gotta be a troll I can’t believe it

[silk beacon]

Why do people that disagree with you make them a troll?

Why is that a common thing online

[edgy oriole]

its not the disagree part snarf

[chilly jacinth]

It's fine some people are in denial that this game just doesn't work

Sporadically

[silk beacon]

It would seem

[edgy oriole]

we all tried to help. the common things that fix it. then we said talk to support. then you called it all useless ideas. then you stay in the discord to call him a clown

so if its all useless and you here for no reason. then you are trying to troll

[silk beacon]

Nono I'm happy the other people tried to help and I get that. But that YT guy didn't try at all and just blamed my system

[cosmic sequoia]

Brother, if 1000 people all have the same iPhone. And they all try to open the same app. Let’s say it works for 999 people and one person has a problem. It’s not the apps fault, it’s obviously something with that one phone.

[royal swan]

Yeah also to anyone how has their game on the HDD, this is a SSD game, having it on a hard drive will slow your experience and cause packet loss and loading issues

[silk beacon]

That's not how that works...

[cosmic sequoia]

I get it, saying your system has a fault is a hit to your confidence (or something)

[silk beacon]

What?

[cosmic sequoia]

Brother is here to tel us how it works, when he can’t even play the game

Fantastic

[royal swan]

[silk beacon]

Have you done any searches for the games instability and issues?

You'll notice there are lots

Funny that?

But I'm guessing it's just all their systems as well, right?

[cosmic sequoia]

sigh

[silk beacon]

You're a youtuber so I understand research is hard for you

[cosmic sequoia]

I’ll refer to my 80 year old grandma comment

[silk beacon]

Are...you trolling now?

[cosmic sequoia]

I’m the one in a discord complaining about a game I don’t own anymore?

Or is that you??

[silk beacon]

That doesn't make me a troll...

[cosmic sequoia]

The game works fine for us, sorry it doesn’t work for you. It appears to be system related as someone here has the exact specs as you, yet they play the game@daily.

No it makes you an annoying child

Call support or leave dude fuck

Lmao

[silk beacon]

Given the amount of support tickets made and lots of people still have the same issues and instability, I'd wager it's the game

Especially when I mentioned literally every game in my library runs perfectly fine

Cyberpunk included

[cosmic sequoia]

Okay! We’ll chalk it up to that. Whatever gets you to shut up

[silk beacon]

Ditto

[sharp marten]

Skill issue git gud

[silk beacon]

Ah, a classic

Never the games fault, right?

[sharp marten]

No it’s your fault

[silk beacon]

How so?

[sharp marten]

Because

Fix your problem

[silk beacon]

.

[cosmic sequoia]

Literally

[silk beacon]

Doing what thing?

[cosmic sequoia]

Man I hope they nerf the night bird

[sharp marten]

Doesn’t seem like your problem has been fixes friend

[gleaming oriole]

Careful you'll summon Bolte

[cosmic sequoia]

Just pretend he doesn’t exist and he’ll go away I think

[next onyx]

Preston let's not dog on him.

[cosmic sequoia]

That was the plan!

I want people to start talking so I don’t have to see that anymore

[fervent rose]

they are adding more AA guns to vehicles so hopefully night bird will get rolled more often

[silk beacon]

Bit late for that.

[cosmic sequoia]

Hahaha

[sharp marten]

Alright my apologies 🫡

[gleaming oriole]

Anytime anyone mentions the little bird Bolte always appears

[next onyx]

Snarf. Personally I am unsure. Like a mentioned this game has weird issues system from system despite this and that. I wish I could help tho.

If you're hitting dx errors. It could be your gpu is running a bit too hard on itself.

Though I speak in behalf my friend running into these issues with his 7900xtx running way above its advertised speed.

[pine roost]

Well I’ve still got that thing where alt tabbing occasionally causes my entire pc to become unresponsive and bricks it so :/

[silk beacon]

Thank you for being respectful and trying to help, unlike other people

[sharp marten]

Now you’re just asking for it

[cosmic sequoia]

Wow it’s almost like this isn’t a support chat

[silk beacon]

It's almost like I asked when I joined and got told I could ask for help here directly from a mod

[pine roost]

You’ve done everything I can personally think of trying

[somber token]

Anybody with a 5800x in here care to tell me what temp their cpu runs at?

[sharp marten]

Yo hemporer

[next onyx]

Stop. Dude had a genuine question and we gave him a faster response than over in the forums.

[gleaming oriole]

Other people were being respectful and trying to help you until you started dismissing their advice

[next onyx]

My CPU runs at 70 to 80c during winter.

[somber token]

5800x?

[silk beacon]

Well telling me it's my system doesn't help me

[cosmic sequoia]

Nothing is faster than calling them lol. They have 0 people in the queue most times

[cosmic sequoia]

It does

[pine roost]

What temperature does it get to outside in winter for you?

[cosmic sequoia]

Points you in the right direction

[cosmic sequoia]

Yo

[chilly jacinth]

Is it even cold in winter

In Straya

[sharp marten]

Hey(with rizz 😏)

[cosmic sequoia]

🤠

[next onyx]

Uh this week it's between 12 to 16 Max.

[silk beacon]

To use your own logic, every other game runs perfectly fine except this one, so it must be this games fault

[next onyx]

12 to 16 c Max.

[chilly jacinth]

That's nice

[pine roost]

Is that as cold as it gets?

[somber token]

Which settings would affect my cpu the most?

[pine roost]

Not even freezing temp?

[next onyx]

It could be colder.

[solemn shore]

so 1 program finds an instability and it's the game's fault

[cosmic sequoia]

Except this game is very hard on the CPU while most games are not.

[next onyx]

We never get to freeze up here.

[azure cradle]

I’ve got the same issue 🥲

[silk beacon]

So my 5800x3d isn't enough? Doubtful

[cosmic sequoia]

Yeah this guy doesn’t understand tech, we’ve established that

[next onyx]

He's getting dx crashes which is gpu related.

[gleaming oriole]

Alright guys let's legit chill. Way will start banning people. Also @silk beacon intentionally poking the bear won't help you. If you keep egging it on people are going to continue digging on you

[pine roost]

It’s the warmest it’s been all year here and it’s only 21 degrees :(

[silk beacon]

I've done nothing of the sort?

[next onyx]

Dude and I have the same specs essentialy (3080 over the 3070 but same cpu)

[cosmic sequoia]

Bro you could be overclocking and that’s making the game crash

[silk beacon]

Now who doesn't understand tech...

[cosmic sequoia]

There could be some discreet bios setting that is messing with things

[next onyx]

I doubt he'd oc his cpu.

[pine roost]

He disabled overclocking when we suggested it an hour ago

[silk beacon]

You can't OC the 5800x3d

[cosmic sequoia]

Maybe a bad board

[next onyx]

You can't OC an x3d.

[cosmic sequoia]

Oh

[silk beacon]

My god...

[solemn shore]

you can undervolt it though

[silk beacon]

I haven't

[cosmic sequoia]

My god I don’t know everything about every board 😂😂😂

[silk beacon]

CPU, not board...

[next onyx]

It's a cpu.

[silk beacon]

Do YOU know tech?

[cosmic sequoia]

Yes buddy

You get what I mean

[silk beacon]

Clearly not

[somber token]

Which settings can I lower to try to lower my cpu Temps

[next onyx]

None.

[cosmic sequoia]

I’m not the one in a discord crying about my the game not working when the game clearly works

Doesn’t even own the game

[pine roost]

Maybe your fan curves could use some adjustments?

[next onyx]

You could try to undervolt your CPU but keep in mind this game will clock your CPU in a certain way.

[silk beacon]

"The game clearly works"

[pine roost]

Did you set up a custom one?

[chilly jacinth]

Get a better cooler

[next onyx]

Like I have stated. This game is weird on people's computers as people with better hardware than I run into issues.

[cosmic sequoia]

Can we stop helping this guy? He said he doesn’t own the game

[pine roost]

A better cooler would be ideal but sometimes simply adjusting the curves can help somewhat without needing to go too technical

[somber token]

I tried undervolting last night and I got it down to 60c but it killed my fps, I was only getting like 60

[next onyx]

He refunded it because he can't play it.

[gleaming oriole]

Considering a majority of people here are telling you it's a CPU issue and you keep denying it...... I mean. How many people need to tell you the exact same fucking thing before it clicks

[cosmic sequoia]

Exactly

[next onyx]

Dx errors are related to gpu not CPU.

[cosmic sequoia]

So let’s stop entertaining the idea of this person actually playing the game

[silk beacon]

It's not a cpu issue...

[next onyx]

That is what you were getting snarf, yeah? Dx12 issues?

[silk beacon]

Yes

[solemn shore]

what is your ram

[somber token]

Me?

16

[silk beacon]

Then once I fixed that with a fresh gpu driver install, it started to crash 2 minutes into a game without error

[gleaming oriole]

Well way you told him it was a GPU issue and he dismissed it as well.

[next onyx]

That if I remember correctly is related to your gpu. As I've said earlier it would have to be linked to your clocks if I had to guess.

[pine roost]

Did you try the easy anticheat thing I suggested?

[silk beacon]

Hm, my gpu is stock though

[silk beacon]

I don't have anything running other than steam running though, I'm not sure what would be triggering the anti-cheat

[solemn shore]

did you use ddu when you changed drivers

[cosmic sequoia]

Guys, even if we did find the problem, he can’t test it. He doesn’t own the game mao.

[silk beacon]

Yes

[gleaming oriole]

Literally everyone here has tried helping him and he brushes it off as if he knows more. Buddy if you knew what the problem was you wouldn't be here asking for advice

[cosmic sequoia]

Amen

Beating a dead horse

[gusty plaza]

How do I apply xp boosts for games?

[next onyx]

They're automatic.

[edgy oriole]

its automatic

[cosmic sequoia]

I was about to say

Have I not been applying my boosts Lmaoo

[somber token]

My Temps throttling at 90c when I try to play, runs great, 110 fps everything on ultra, 5800x, 16gb ddr4 ram, x570 Asus pro wifi board, 3080ti card. Liquid cooled, and every other game plays around 70-75 under full load. What can I change to lower my cpu Temps?

[cosmic sequoia]

Although level doesn’t intrigue me

90c isn’t bad

[solemn shore]

ehhh

[silk beacon]

2 people (you and hemp) haven't tried to help. Other people have and I appreciated their help and followed their advice. I'm here because I had already searched online some fixes

[cosmic sequoia]

It’s a CPU heavy game

[somber token]

It's not?

[cosmic sequoia]

It’s high

For sure

[next onyx]

5800x doesn't throttle at 90c.

[cosmic sequoia]

But that’s not like too terrible…

[next onyx]

It'll do so at 100c.

[cosmic sequoia]

I’d just throw in another fan

[next onyx]

Get a better cooler if you're so concerned.

[pine roost]

I sometimes get an error that boots me to the main menu, or one during the eac loading process that just cuts the game loading without any warning. It’s something that the game boots up itself, but it exists as an application that a game using it will download in the background. It could be the case that some of its files are corrupted and could need an install. At the very least that’s what I did, but my issues were slightly different to yours

[somber token]

Well I'm seeing it hit 90c in ryzen master and not go above 90, maybe I didn't watch long enough

[silk beacon]

Isn't the 5800x thermal limited to 90c?

[somber token]

Not sure. I buy parts and put them in. My friends are the tech geniuses, I just do what I'm told

[silk beacon]

I verified the files and nothing was wrong

[gusty plaza]

Alright is the only way to get them by battle pass or what

[solemn shore]

is it a 5800x or x3d

[somber token]

5800x

[pine roost]

Eac is a separate application to battlefield itself, verifying the game’s files through steam or what have you wouldn’t check eac itself

[next onyx]

There's a few free double xp tokens throughout it.

[solemn shore]

what cooler are you even using

[gleaming oriole]

My dude I never claimed I tried to help you. I'm not PC savvy so I'm not going to stick my opinion in somewhere I have no expertise. But almost everyone giving you advice kept saying the same thing. And you dismissed them and brushed them off saying the didn't know what they were talking about. That is wasn't your system it was the game. That's what got you ganged up on. You do realize that I can read everything that happened right? The chat doesn't disappear.

[silk beacon]

Ah

[somber token]

Lemme go look and see

It's a liquid cooler

Msi 2 fans

[silk beacon]

Well you clearly hadn't scrolled back

[somber token]

I don't remember exactly which one it is though

[silk beacon]

I was nothing but respectful until Hemp

[somber token]

As long as 90c won't hurt my processor idgaf if it's that hot or not lol

[gleaming oriole]

No I did. You were being an arrogant little shit the whole time to people you were asking for help. Because how fucking dare they question your rig. It's not like all of them are playing the game you claim to be the issue or anything

[silk beacon]

How was I being arrogant?

[royal swan]

Guys the map location is called giants graveyard

What map is called giants and is in bf4

[next onyx]

Giants of karelia.

It's where the walkers were featured.

Graveyard from Zavod graveyard shift.

[gleaming oriole]

By telling people that you were asking for help that they didn't know what they were talking about. But funny when a Mod told you all of a sudden you agreed.

[silk beacon]

Again, you didn't scroll back far enough

[cosmic sequoia]

Careful, you’ll get in trouble. Not worth getting in trouble for the… person… who doesn’t own the game.

[royal swan]

Does both have train tracks

[next onyx]

Can we please stop now.

[silk beacon]

And again, I was respectful until hemp

[cosmic sequoia]

Yes please

[next onyx]

By the way. Based prinnie pfp my dude. @silk beacon

[silk beacon]

Ty ^-^

[next onyx]

That one yes but I'm not sure on zavod.

[low timber]

Also you could maybe call Hangar 21 as a graveyard for a giant.

[gleaming oriole]

Then tell him to shut up too. He's not going to sit here and keep antagonizing the situation and get to play victim

[next onyx]

Oh fair marse.

[cosmic sequoia]

We need an islands map

Is there a reason some of the stuff from 4 isn’t in portal?

[pine roost]

Time to give this podcast a listen

[silk beacon]

Have you played Disgaea 6 Way?

[solemn shore]

because portal doesn't have bf4

[low timber]

Because Portal has only BF1942, BFBC2 and BF3 stuff

[royal swan]

So it's the giants of Karelia most likely

[cosmic sequoia]

Right, but why

[sharp marten]

👀

[solemn shore]

check the crystal ball

[cosmic sequoia]

Why no bring bf4 stuff 😦

[elfin coral]

It really does give off that vibe

[edgy oriole]

giants graveyard

=

that one island that has big heads

easter island

[pine roost]

Hol up huh

[edgy oriole]

also retweeted but didnt like

smh

[cosmic sequoia]

We need an island map

[sharp marten]

[cosmic sequoia]

Maybe he… retweet, screenshot, then liked it?!?

[sharp marten]

I liked it

[wild sapphire]

Haven’t played in a while is rush XL permanent?

[edgy oriole]

i dont trust like that

[cosmic sequoia]

Lmaooo

[edgy oriole]

[cosmic sequoia]

INDONT TRUST LIKE THST

undo your button

[edgy oriole]

its on rotation, but bc its popular it stays in rotation longer

[wild sapphire]

Sweet

[pine roost]

It doesn’t actually say here that gunners exclusively will be getting thermals and not the driver

Unless it’s later in the podcast

[sharp marten]

I think bf bulletin said that drivers won’t be getting thermal

[edgy oriole]

if the driver gets thermals

boy

people will drive/fly into walls

[chilly jacinth]

thats good

[pine roost]

I’ll keep an ear out, but that might not be right

[sharp marten]

I hope it’s not I really want driver thermals

[edgy oriole]

since thermal released i use it on all my guns

[remote kiln]

Battlefield Bulletin (@BFBulletin)

🔹 Gunners can have thermals as secondary instead of variable zoom. Driver doesn't have thermals
🔹 M5C Bolte gains incendary launcher instead of incendary mines, loses 30mm but gains 50mm & detection pulse
🔹 Jets gain rocket pods. The camera feels less floaty, more responsive

its my crutch now

[cosmic sequoia]

Pffft only noobs use thermals

[sharp marten]

Thank you kind sir

[fervent rose]

one of them did say for now or something like that, but drivers dont need thermals

[edgy oriole]

brain see moving orange brain go shoot

[sharp marten]

I think it would be a nice touch tbh

[edgy oriole]

Monke brain monke shoot

Lmaooo

[fervent rose]

i personally do not struggle to see people when im driving a ground vehicle

not needed

[robust vapor]

I will man the stationary AA

🙂

[cosmic sequoia]

Maybe in the rain on that shipping container map

Manifest I think it is

[sharp marten]

[cosmic sequoia]

Sorry shipping container map just referenced 6 maps

[edgy oriole]

[robust vapor]

you mean container island?

yeah that's manifest

[sharp marten]

Gonna use a thermal in the desert who gon stop me

[cosmic sequoia]

Yeah

[robust vapor]

the only map with the most containers

basically mackay's playground

[pine roost]

Yeah all I hear is ‘adding thermal view to vehicle equipment’. No mention of who gets it

[sharp marten]

Gonna use nv and look at the sun

Are you the next operator?

That’s not an official tweet or account

[quaint vector]

I was in Concept, but no new Specialists sadly...

[sharp marten]

[pine roost]

I heard people say it’s just secondary gunners and not main drivers but I’ve not heard anything regarding if it’s only going to one or the other

[fervent rose]

okay but its in the podcast

i listened to it. its gunners only

[remote kiln]

I listened to the podcast, it's gunners only

lol

[pine roost]

As I said, all I heard was ‘thermal view for vehicle equipment’

Could be secondary gunners, could be the main driver

[elfin coral]

Is some more lore I see?

[remote kiln]

no, it's the secondary gunner

[fervent rose]

there's no "could be"

GIANTS???

[sharp marten]

That’s it unthermals your sights

[fervent rose]

they said drivers will not get them IN THE PODCAST

you can choose to not believe us

[dusk falcon]

yk what that means gang

GIANTS OF KARELIA

[remote kiln]

did you bother listening to the podcast?

[low timber]

Now let’s see how many here starts thinking it’s giant of Karelia even though it is not

[pine roost]

I’m still listening to it right now, do they bring it up later on?

[remote kiln]

yes..?

[fervent rose]

yes all they talk about is vehicles

[pine roost]

Right, gotcha

[fervent rose]

and cookies for 3 minutes

[low timber]

Cause new map is in Czech while giant of Karelia is in Karelia

[dusk falcon]

its either zavod or karelia at this point either way it will be great

[low timber]

It’s in Czech

[dusk falcon]

ah

[dapper river]

as long as it isn't flashpoint, it'll be great

[chilly jacinth]

zavod is in russia

[inner roost]

Even tho it's in Czech Republic it could still be inspired by giants of keralia

[quaint vector]

I hope its Czech..

[sharp marten]

No

[chilly jacinth]

me too

[low timber]

Well… it could be in any old USSR country tbh.

[quaint vector]

My country

[sharp marten]

No I hope it’s czech

[next onyx]

Your home.

[sharp marten]

Omg we’re gonna see a Easter egg of windows wearing bf merch somewhere remember that pic of him

[quaint vector]

Czech

Czechia

[low timber]

Windowsman is gonna have a home field advantage on that map then

[sharp marten]

Czech mate

[quaint vector]

[dapper river]

Czech yourself

[edgy oriole]

i wonder if they gonna add a kebab shop to the map

[sharp marten]

Czech behind that door

[mental delta]

I think they should modify vehicles count and adapt it depending on the maps, some maps should get more air vehicles for example and some other should get less or even none of them

[dusk falcon]

considering the factions in the reed report

could we get new factions?

[chilly jacinth]

no

[fervent rose]

absolutely. i hope breakthrough gets more vehicle variety

[dusk falcon]

yh that was expected

[sharp marten]

He has to be trolling

[fervent rose]

not the air spam we saw before but the current breakthrough meta is just almost the same gameplay on every map

[sharp marten]

Bro i hooooope the new vehicle is tamk desoyer UwU

[mental delta]

A version of Spearhead without air vehicles would be pretty good, and Hourglass with more tanks would be more interesting

[dusk falcon]

i think it will be a jet/bomber

[sharp marten]

That would be cool as well

[chilly jacinth]

an updated hourglass would be better

[inner roost]

So i imagine there's an EE live too rn

[chilly jacinth]

than more tanks

[sharp marten]

Giant flying Dorito

[dusk falcon]

think about it

season 1-heli
season 2- light armor
season 3- tank
season 4- transport vehicle
season 5- jet?

its the most reasonable approach

[sharp marten]

Season 6- burger car from sponge bob

[chilly jacinth]

remote controlled jet

[dusk falcon]

IF we get a season 6...

[inner roost]

Might be an attack jet or bomber, I hope they have different vehicles for US and Russia tho

[sharp marten]

Hopefully

[fervent rose]

a dedicated anti infantry LAV is also a good add @dusk falcon

[pine roost]

Would be in line with the recent jet reworks

[sharp marten]

True that’s not a transport

[elfin coral]

Also where’s the other parts of the 2042 backstory section

[dusk falcon]

isnt the brawler anti infantry already?

[remote kiln]

just to remind folk that boats have full models in the base game files

[fervent rose]

no its a transport vehicle

[gusty plaza]

Is there only 1 sniper that can 1 shot up close

[sharp marten]

I thought they said awhile back no boats?

[remote kiln]

yes only the ntw can

[fervent rose]

i'm talking about a bf3 style with a driver gun

[inner roost]

Crazy how none of the seasons included naval combat

[pine roost]

More used to be able to but now it’s just the ntw

[low timber]

Wait a second!
Giants graveyard!
That’s discarded isn’t it?
It’s a graveyard for ships, big ships, and one of them is called the Colossus!

[remote kiln]

wasnt said, they've been silent about it entirely

[ruby marsh]

where the ps 5 players at?

[sharp marten]

Huh I thought I saw something or heard something around S1 or S2 but I could be wrong

[dusk falcon]

then... the easter egg is on discarded!

[gusty plaza]

On pc I find games but on Xbox I don’t is there just low player count on Xbox

[dusk falcon]

im calling up the bfee discord

the search begins boys

[sharp marten]

How many weeks we got left 2?

[quaint vector]

2 Weeks

[sharp marten]

Gaming

[edgy oriole]

2 weeks and 1 day

[mental delta]

Yeah and garbage 2 seated spaceship from Rick and Morty

[inner roost]

Generally Xbox just has the lower playerbase in comparison to PS

[sharp marten]

Ooooooo

[dusk falcon]

arent those the ones in bf3 portal?

[inner roost]

And I imagine same goes for PC

[remote kiln]

no

[sharp marten]

[remote kiln]

the rhib boats from the prior games have miniguns, these ones are more sleek

the second model also doesn't exist

[dusk falcon]

they look like theyre just meant to transport

kinda like the ones on the bfv japanese maps

[mental delta]

It's a BF2142 spaceship graveyard station, we'll be fighting inside a Titan which is in construction

[chilly jacinth]

the black one has a mounting spot at the front

[remote kiln]

it's more akin to a police boat than anything

[chilly jacinth]

mounting for a minigun

[mental delta]

Ngl I want to see a Rick and Morty badge in BF2042 now

[remote kiln]

although the tier 1 medal is more telling than the models themselves

[pine roost]

There we are, got to the bit about thermals and you are right, my apologies. The decision to keep them on secondary gunners sounds alright

[still vault]

My beloved, is that you?

[dusk falcon]

update: bfee has found a transmitter like the one on spearhead on renewal

not usable

[chilly jacinth]

they work fast

[remote kiln]

[inner roost]

Probably missing a step to use the transmitter

[vivid inlet]

Is bsvm still good

[chilly jacinth]

yes

[edgy oriole]

yea

[chilly jacinth]

people have just jumped over to the new rm68 meta

[next isle]

For her pleasure

[dusk falcon]

yes, especially with high power rounds

[mental delta]

Ok so I'll ask a few questions and you lads will answer it please

[pine roost]

Yoo! They added rear view control back on jets :D

[tiny imp]

season 5

[pine roost]

If they can adjust the rotation of the rear cam that’ll be goated

[mental delta]

1. Why did the report they published talk about 2048 instead of 2042 ?
2. Why did the lore progress that quick, we passed from Richtersveld conflict to Oz being unmasked and making the world great again ?
3. WHY THE FUCK did they skip the whole story and went from 2042 to 2048 in 1 season ??????

[sharp marten]

Wait GUYS

GIANT MECH NEW VEHICLE?

[pine roost]

No that’s a bf4 screenshot

[dusk falcon]

youd really think dice would out in this much work jnto a vehicle?

hell no the new vejicle is probably a jet

or a bomber

thats the most logical solution

but who know

s

jeez wheres temporyal when you need him?

[chilly jacinth]

4. Cry about it

[pine roost]

I’d like a jet now that jets are getting more love

[elfin coral]

[mental delta]

Season 5 map is set to be in the same location in terms of region not in terms of exact same location lol

[calm bison]

I’m curious what new vehicle will be added in Season 5

[elfin coral]

That is very weird indeed

[mental delta]

So many questions and so few can be answered

[elfin coral]

Why did they skip like 5 years?

[dusk falcon]

1. the story wont do much about the gameplay so no need to scream like a child

2. they probably did so to make it look like no pats have become a fledged force on the level of russia and america

[calm bison]

Season 1 - Stealth Choppers
Season 2 - Armored Car
Season 3 - Railgun Tank
Season 4 - APC
Season 5 - New jets???

[remote kiln]

easy, the lore for the next game

[dusk falcon]

its the most logical way to go

[mental delta]

That doesn't make any fucking sense it feels like they forgot to update Lore for months and suddenly skip the whole story, truly a Dice moment

[calm bison]

Personally I wouldn’t mind the F-22 in game

As well as the SU-75

[elfin coral]

[mental delta]

1. I don't cry like a kid but I just like the story so I'm looking forward to get the entire version
2. Then just explain it better with in game exxplanations

[elfin coral]

This why we should’ve had a story mode

[dusk falcon]

the easter egg will probably explain more

less see less see

[mental delta]

Yeah really, or at least some cutscenes before and after each season

[inner roost]

we battlefield 2048 now

[calm bison]

Honestly a story mode in the vein of squadrons would’ve been really cool

[mental delta]

A easter egg is a bit minimal to update the Lore but I hope so

[mental delta]

Yeah and nobody saw it coming

[dusk falcon]

update: bfee has found another transmitter on renewal,ontop of the middle gate or c1 in breakthrough

[pine roost]

Man this new season is going to be mad

[elfin coral]

They probably were gonna do more cutscenes but then Irish’s actor died

[remote kiln]

feasibly trying to tell the story in a single year is borderline impossible, especially for something like this

[calm bison]

MFW the war of 1812 ended in 1814

[dusk falcon]

yh i think the easter egg is on renewal

[remote kiln]

decisions in warfare span years, not months

[dawn patio]

anyone got a fix for dx12 being wacky on bf2042, I had reinstalled my drivers for all devices as well as dx11 and dx12

[remote kiln]

it's not exactly exciting having the same regurgitation of "the no pats are trying to establish themselves" for an entire game

[dusk falcon]

NEVERMIND EASTER EGG FOUND ON DISCARDED

[mental delta]

I would have said the same but I I would have added "and BF2042 had a terrible launch, they decided to give it less ressources and cancelled everything which wasn't necessary for gameplay"

[dusk falcon]

easter egg found

i cant post pics does anyone have image perms

[pine roost]

Anyone with a pink or purple name can

[dusk falcon]

you then

[pine roost]

Go ahead

[elfin coral]

I need more player cards that are like the ones we had for the launch maps rather than a cutscene script

[elfin coral]

I need that world building source material for my fanfiction damn it

[sharp marten]

Not I know it’s a bf4 Screenshot but the location S5 is supposed to be is almost the same one

[pine roost]

I love me a Titan so I’d be down whatever happens

[jagged yacht]

Lol 66/ 1200 on Zain last specialist to grind

[mental delta]

Yeah player cards are interesting, but they can't even put it in order

[pine roost]

Danny’s already on the case

[hybrid totem]

be cool to have a vehicle like a transformer. Tank on the ground, jet in the air

[royal swan]

I asked him for a yt stream on the Easter egg hunt, so we shall wait

It started

[pine roost]

Overall though this vehicle loadout thing sounds great

Every season so far has had some really good changes

And as I predicted, after they got infantry mostly sorted they turned to vehicles

[royal swan]

We got a skin for angel last ee so I wonder what the reward is for this one

[pine roost]

blasco I'd assume

[dusk falcon]

just got here and heard the message

her objective is to bring down wolff (USA) and that an associate of her ahs stashed her documents somewhere

on the map

[hybrid totem]

did you just spoil the easter egg for everyone?

Smelly

[pine roost]

fair point, maybe put spoiler marks around that

[wide shore]

There’s a new egg?

[pine roost]

apparently

[wide shore]

[pine roost]

someone sent me that to post, I don't know anything about it myself

[wide shore]

I shall go digging

[sharp marten]

You in the Bfee discord?

[wide shore]

I am. But I don’t go on there that much

[placid marlin]

how tf do u repair a tank as driver

[hybrid totem]

repair kit, or get out and repair torch

[pine roost]

Either wait or use the self repair ability

[placid marlin]

how long till autorepair

[pine roost]

10 seconds maybe? Not certain

[placid marlin]

ayt

[hybrid totem]

Too long from the next rocket, and too short from when you retreat

[placid marlin]

yep

it seems like forever till autorepair starts

which class has repair torch

eng?

[cosmic sequoia]

The problem with getting out and repairing is that your chopper can get stolen by teammates

Yea

[hybrid totem]

...tank

but yes

[cosmic sequoia]

Or tank

[placid marlin]

wdym can? it WILL lmao

[cosmic sequoia]

Sorry joined convo late

Yeah exactly

[drowsy shuttle]

They finally going to remove the 30mm and 50mm from the LATV?! Took them long enough, but better late than never.

[hybrid totem]

where are these notes people are drawing from

[copper fulcrum]

Yes.

[drowsy shuttle]

But to be a classic dice, this changes will probably only come on 5.2 or 5.3 update

[hybrid totem]

I tried yes.com but nothing came up

[copper fulcrum]

Bolte's getting the 50mm instead of the 30mm

[pine roost]

the podcast

I made a summary on my phone

[hybrid totem]

did you post it?

[pine roost]

it's literally a scrappy set of notes on my reminders app

[fervent rose]

podcast. they said they are basically changing all loadouts, adding more than removing, but removing lots of the annoying explosives

[drowsy shuttle]

Oh neat. So they going to cover the head but uncover the feet...

[pine roost]

the bfbulletin account on twitter has posted a decent bulletpoint list but there are a couple things that weren't listed that were on the podcast

[copper fulcrum]

No flying tanks anymore lol

[fervent rose]

bolte will be armored, wildcat straight up turbo buffed with a new AA and it has a dedicated slot

[copper fulcrum]

I assume the passenger seat will be a spotting seat for Transport Choppers now

[hybrid totem]

fuccccck they went the other direction on the bolte

[fervent rose]

bolte also loses 30mm so less spammy

[hybrid totem]

wow so it'll NEVER get used, instead of rarely

[copper fulcrum]

Bolte will have an explosive launcher

[fervent rose]

they gave it a 50

[copper fulcrum]

You can't get shot out of it anymore

[hybrid totem]

so? It'll have no good weapons

[fervent rose]

bolte will just be a light tank type

[pine roost]

although I didn't get the immediate impression that they are actually removing the explosives from transport choppers. I was wrong about the thermals earlier because I hadn't watched the whole thing, but I finished it and it sounds like they won't be touching the transport helos

[hybrid totem]

it'll continue taking up valuable MAV/CAV spots

[copper fulcrum]

50mm one shots infantry besides Dozer

[pine roost]

in fact that refer to them as 'gunships' as opposed to transport helis

which reveals their true purpose

[fervent rose]

about time they were honest about it

[drowsy shuttle]

When season 5 launchs? End of the month or june?

[fervent rose]

but if they have dedicated wildcats to fight them, thats much better

[pine roost]

yeah that alone is huge

I've been wishing for that since the start

[copper fulcrum]

Rocket Pods for Jets so they can actually do something against Infantry besides the one jet pilot that exists that can actually kill infantry

[fervent rose]

and spawn protection C-Ram

for bases

[pine roost]

although I'm now scared for whatever new AA weapons it has in store

[pine roost]

it was easier before s4 when they broke the yaw

but it was possible

[copper fulcrum]

Even still, no jet pilots went after infantry because the weapons really aren't viable against them

unless the infantry was on like a tower, standing still

[humble hound]

i hope they do something about the AAs in S5 as a jet pilot they really make some games unplayable

[mental delta]

June obviously, as 2 weeks remain for season 4

[copper fulcrum]

Seriously I think Jets take like less than 1% of my deaths in this game as infantry

[hybrid totem]

nothing about nightbirds, as predicted

[copper fulcrum]

Night Birds are still pretty strong in a capable pilot's hands

[pine roost]

which I think is alright. They are great anti air and capable anti vehicle. One of the only vehicles that has a distinct role

[fervent rose]

oh and i think they finally added the "turning wont turn your camera" option

[hybrid totem]

yes, they need a nerf

[elfin coral]

Ping me if y’all start talking lore again

Imma dip

[hybrid totem]

k bye

[copper fulcrum]

Gunners get thermals now, but not the drivers

[fervent rose]

well they are literally turbo buffing wildcat and giving LATV a new anti air gun

we'll see. nightbird might struggle more

[copper fulcrum]

and then they buff Lis again

[hybrid totem]

LATV will just be more soft targets, but let's see how the wildcat thing works

[mental delta]

Have you ever wondered who is Wolff and who is Beaumont ?

[pine roost]

again, the mere fact that wildcats are consistently on the field will push that even further

[humble hound]

ill quit playing this game if they buff the AA i wanna know what would make them think they need a buff in the first place

[copper fulcrum]

Which specialist gives the best kisses?

[hybrid totem]

DICE says M5C Bolte's driver will no longer be killed through the glass

But the gunner can?

[hybrid totem]

nightbirds

[fervent rose]

nightbirds, the gunships.

[drowsy shuttle]

Ah ok, well i didnt knew.. last time i played the game was in April. So i dunno how many weeks are left on the season

[copper fulcrum]

Stealth Bombers being able to destroy anything by just flying over them.

[humble hound]

so just make them do more damage to that specific vehicle jets are already prety much boned by AAs every game

[elfin coral]

Your mum

[copper fulcrum]

Jets are getting a buff

[wanton magnet]

Maybe, they said they were changing all the vehicle loadouts. Maybe they’ll get rid of the ATG missiles.

[elfin coral]

Yeah but who’s Beaumont?

[hybrid totem]

I will eat my hat

[elfin coral]

Never heard of ‘em

[drowsy shuttle]

Stationary weapons might comeback? Thats cool.. fortifications are next... (if EA doesnt pull the plug)

[arctic grove]

Welp Activision has just killed COD in just a year and it's gotten to its lowest point today. Maybe Battlefield can still make a comeback 🤔

[mental delta]

You didn't miss a lot of things ngl, Discarded remake is still bad and mid-season cosmetics update was shit

[mental delta]

His interlocutor

[humble hound]

wont matter if the AA spawn camping is still a thing and if they get buffed too idk man

[fervent rose]

fortifications might return in a new game but theres no way 2042 gets them

[hybrid totem]

aa spawn camping will always be a thing, it haas been since bf came out

[drowsy shuttle]

I know, i only played 2 or 3 days after discarded was released.. finished my Battlepass on that time.. and i quit the game until they nerf the rm68

[copper fulcrum]

Not to mention the jets getting rocket pods, it might be a good thing

[hybrid totem]

jets should do more damage to all helis

[humble hound]

yeah but idk whats different maybe theres more of them or actually its probably the fact that they can lock on to me from there spawn when im almost in mine

[drowsy shuttle]

Thats a shame.. but yeah makes sense..

[hybrid totem]

I dunno what's different either, but making aa unable to camp in their spawn is right up there with removign it completely

[fervent rose]

im pretty sure gamepad would struggle with adding another button at this point

fortification tool isnt happening

[copper fulcrum]

Just use Irish

He is a fortification tool lol

[hybrid totem]

not after the nerf

[copper fulcrum]

His shields aren't changing

[humble hound]

the spawn camping isnt really the issue then your right but its just that there too strong against jets

[mental delta]

Well season 4 in a nutshell: RM68 spammers, Flashpoint hills enjoyers, Discarded bad remake

[fervent rose]

and his APS is still gonna be incredibly strong after the nerf

[hybrid totem]

I mean, I disagree. AA needs to be able to kill jets, because nothing else can

[copper fulcrum]

You mean Season 4

[fervent rose]

people just got too used to irish op aps

[hybrid totem]

because it was the only counter to nightbirds there was

[pine roost]

from the looks of things you can place two down near each other and still get almost 100% uptime

[fervent rose]

how does irish aps stop them from minigunning you

[copper fulcrum]

AA literally means AA, it's doing what it's designed to do lol

[hybrid totem]

Armor

tanks

wildcats

[fervent rose]

you can probably also set one down as the other goes on cooldown

[hybrid totem]

I wish we had a true transport chopper... no weapons

everyone could spawn on it

[fervent rose]

rotate them and have nearly 100% uptime

[mental delta]

Yeah sorry

[humble hound]

yeah they should be able to kill them but not have such a one sided battle that you cant do any thing if there are two AAs targeting you constantly and theres tons of other things that can kill jets happens all the time esp if any heli catches you lackin your dead

[hybrid totem]

That's battlefield. You stop paying attention, you die

that's not just jets

[humble hound]

right wich is how it should be ??? LOL

[hybrid totem]

uh, yes?

that's literally the game

[humble hound]

lol alright your confusing me

[hybrid totem]

you are confusing me as well, lad

[mental delta]

I wish we had a naval map with a giant submarine on the water which ahs to be captured by going inside

[arctic grove]

DICE DOES IT AGAIN

[hybrid totem]

bring back carrier assault

[arctic grove]

WE GETTING AN OPEN BAD MAP FOR S5

[humble hound]

haha im not saying its a bad thing that heli can kill jets so quickly im simply using that as an example that other things take jets out just fine

[arctic grove]

Giants of Krelia

Its nice getting an Open field map

[hybrid totem]

I think the jet ceiling and boundaries need to be greatly expanded, until the nightbird can't just chase them

same with the AA range, the jets should be able to get away from it

but nerfing AA is not the way

[copper fulcrum]

Pretty sure they said the Season 5 map wasn't going to be a remake but based on a location that was in BF4

[hybrid totem]

I wonder if the jeep aa weapon is just... the minigun

[humble hound]

this right here would make me so happy like i siad idk really know what it is that makes it so one sided maybe its like you said you just cant get away from an AA

[mental delta]

Based on location like the same region or landscape but yeah definitely not an exact copy

[copper fulcrum]

The landscape could also be changed, perhaps some satellites crashed there or some shit idfk

We don't know until we get a trailer now do we?

[mental delta]

Yeah I meant the general landscape like forest, mountains and snow

[copper fulcrum]

Which sounds nice

[mental delta]

A few Portal maps after 1 year of post-launch development could sound good too but I guess I can go fuck myself

[pine roost]

it's flak of some kind

[hybrid totem]

ugh, i hope they buffed the flak cannon for range then

it used to be great though

[stiff pollen]

GIANTS OF KARELIA

SUBREDDIT ALREADY MALDING

[hybrid totem]

...malding? Do I even want to know

[stiff pollen]

post has people whining that it was the worst map in bf4

and that the entire dlc sucked

[copper fulcrum]

I imagine the layout will not be the same at all, and that's what was wrong about the original map

[stiff pollen]

giants of karelia 2042

[hybrid totem]

I thought Giants of Karelia was one of the better maps

I hope the new one lives up to that

[stiff pollen]

subreddit says bad map so hivemind must agree

[copper fulcrum]

It was certainly a map

[stiff pollen]

idk i barely played final stand dlc

OH WAAAAAIT

its the final stand map with the central railroad

lmfao that map sucked

[hybrid totem]

that was giants of karelia

[mental delta]

Lmao you can be sure that whatever map Dice could have picked up, Reddit people would have complained

[pine roost]

complete 180

[stiff pollen]

reddit people do not like anything

i was confusing karelia with that map with the drop pods launchers

[hybrid totem]

hangar 21

[stiff pollen]

yea

that map was fun

[hybrid totem]

another great map, but the spawn points sucked

[mental delta]

Yeah and themselves first lol, those mf hate themselves and get to hate everything they see

[stiff pollen]

redditors when

[hybrid totem]

goooooooohhhd the amount of filler talk in podcasts kills me

[edgy oriole]

you dont like cookie of the week?

[jagged yacht]

Us there anything out on Easter egg

[stiff pollen]

youd hear about it

[radiant prism]

@meager girder pain

[edgy oriole]

last i listen to the podcast there was one dude that was getting salty about eating a cookie in the morning

it was like 2 minutes of everyone enjoying a cookie then that guy being salty

[copper fulcrum]

Unless it was Metro

[hybrid totem]

No, they would have complained then too

[mental delta]

They would have complained too, it doesn't have vehicles

[hybrid totem]

sounds like wildcat and ram are gonna be category split too

so probably wildcat by itself, and bolte with the ram

[stiff pollen]

bolte should be completely rebalanced

turn it into the light tank from bf1

wait tf

i meant the bolte

[hybrid totem]

bolte just needs to be light transport again

[stiff pollen]

nah

i do not want mini tanks everywhere again

[hybrid totem]

ram is the "light tank"

wildcat gets new, even stronger aa gun

[stiff pollen]

ram is just light tank from bf1 on steroids

bruh they doing the bf4 balance again where the MAA is gonna be aids

im all for it, t1 wildcat

[hybrid totem]

that's from the podcast

[stiff pollen]

wonder how shit the aa on the latv is gonna be

[hybrid totem]

as long as wildcat still has access to 40mm and 50mm, it won't be a dedicated aa

[stiff pollen]

remove the 40mm and 57mm off it

40mm is a trolling weapon and the 57mm got nerfed to hell

[hybrid totem]

and for fucks sake let me have an HMG as a secondary

every single vehicle gets machine guns for secondaries except the wildcat

I don't want lockons

[next onyx]

Wildcat with tow would be based.

Unironically.

[stiff pollen]

vehicle rebalance pass after 18 months is crazy

[next onyx]

Better late than never to be honest. As much as it bewilders me.

But this won't be the last.

[stiff pollen]

better not

if this game gets the "our vision of swbf2 is complete" treatment its over

[hybrid totem]

I wonder if they just put the flak cannon from the CAV on the wildcat

would be better than the flak pod

[stiff pollen]

so essentially no gun

[hybrid totem]

...what? flak cannon shreds aircraft

[stiff pollen]

within 40m maybe

[chilly jacinth]

it aint very consistent in my experience

[stiff pollen]

^

[hybrid totem]

Usually you need a good driver to keep it steady, and a good gunner to shoot accurately. That combo is rare

[stiff pollen]

plus it doesnt seem to do any damage to infy?

[hybrid totem]

the cav doesn't need help doing damage to infantry

[stiff pollen]

well duh but its kind feels boring to be stuck in the 20mm flak cannon slot except for the brief moments a chopper is dumb enough to fly into your bubble

[hybrid totem]

so leave the cav

flak can't go back to killing everything

[stiff pollen]

i dont use it

i just use the incendiary launcher

[edgy oriole]

@ripe hedge rm has a drum in cod so i am protesting that it needs a drum in this game. as well as, a shotgun ubg.

[hybrid totem]

pinging the devs when they're not talking.. nice

[edgy oriole]

alex allows it

he checks pings every monday if he not lurking in the week

[hybrid totem]

oh cool dev

[edgy oriole]

im still trying to sweet talk him into adding a shotgun ubg to the rm68

[hybrid totem]

oh so you can now steer the jet while looking back, I get it

you could do yaw but no pitch or roll

shame they aren't adding APS to wildcat though

[stiff pollen]

doesnt need it

[hybrid totem]

no tank needs it

[sharp marten]

It does

[sharp marten]

It really really does need it

[stiff pollen]

if youre dumb enough to equip the 40mm on it maybe

use it for its intended role, camping in stupid spots killing jets

[prime tapir]

Hello, I want to play with people who like being on comms

[hybrid totem]

it kills me that the bolte is staying in the heavy transport category

if it's a heavy transport, people need to be able to spawn in it

[prime tapir]

Far from a newbie on the game but I don’t have any buds online so wondered if people on here wanted to join in

[hybrid totem]

there's a couple lfg channels
#lfg-crossplay #lfg-pc

stationary aa. but only on the new map?

[cosmic sequoia]

Does anyone watch 2042 content on other platforms other than YouTube?

[hybrid totem]

yeah only on the new map

[edgy oriole]

i watch dscisiv on twitch

on occasion and thats it

if i find a non clickbait shitty thumbnail video on youtube i may think about watching it

[cosmic sequoia]

I am just noticing a decline in viewers, unfortunately. I think it’s just because of the lull between seasons. Not a lot watching 2042 content in general.

[edgy oriole]

there a dude out there that i think been recording 1 game of 2042 everyday since launch and uploading it. he only gets lik 12 views tho. i respect the hussle

[cosmic sequoia]

Unsure if I should try to reach out to other platforms - TT, IG, Twitter. Maybe twitch.

That’s some serious dedication

[edgy oriole]

i dont watch 2042 content bc its boring but im assuming loadout videos is what gets the most views not gameplay. most of me viewing is stealing settings, helo loadout

[ripe hedge]

Not happening even in your wildest dreams

[jovial jay]

I only watch for explo... Well uh I mean tactical advantages

[royal swan]

Glad to see stationary weapons in the new map, will they eventually come to the other base maps later on

[hybrid totem]

not that kind of dev...

[royal swan]

Technically a weapon

[jovial jay]

Lordy no

Rm68 is already a wrecking gun

[edgy oriole]

i dont use tiktok so idk but sometimes when i get lost in the YT short rabbit hole ill find a rando shitty 2042 short that gets stupid likes. so maybe try shorts.

[cosmic sequoia]

What would make 2042 content enjoyable? I pretty@much only fly the helicopters..

[hybrid totem]

the demeanor of the streamer

[cosmic sequoia]

I have some!

[jovial jay]

If the RM gets that then it becomes the new smg08 of bf2042

[cosmic sequoia]

I usually like try to drop a short before a video

[dapper night]

DICE finally did what I wanted should have in the first place

[cosmic sequoia]

Right now I have a short doing better than the actual video though 😦

[hybrid totem]

content is content

[edgy oriole]

i like dscisiv bc he aggressive 99% of the time. complains here and there so its not too annoying. most people i tried watching just too slow for my zoomer eyes. he cracked at nightbird too.

[dapper night]

The Wildcat has it’s own category now instead of being shared in the Light Armor Category

[hybrid totem]

fuck the nightbird

[jovial jay]

Yea

[cosmic sequoia]

Do you enjoy the live (?) commentary part about it? What if it was music or just the game noises

[dapper night]

Which is a great thing since Wildcat should have been classified in the Mobile AA and have its own category

[jovial jay]

Its like the 1000th time you've said that lol

[arctic grove]

fr its annoying asf

[jovial jay]

The nightbird is already f*cked by the TOR most game I play

[cosmic sequoia]

All my@homies hate the night bird and actively yell out, fuck it until it’s balanced

[hybrid totem]

I will say it until the nightbird stops being the premier farming vehicle

fuck the nightbird

[arctic grove]

fuck the nightbird

[jovial jay]

Hire a TOR sweat lord to play together

[hybrid totem]

that's the spirit

[dapper night]

I mean in BF3 and 4 Nightbirds are still strong tbf

[edgy oriole]

just good gameplay that can be heard in the background with the occasional him answering questions with good answers. he doesnt listen to music much bc he does montage clips for some clan. i dont watch montage content so idk how that is.

[jovial jay]

For me its f*ck the hindsquad

[hybrid totem]

strong but not ridiculously so

hind at least needs a squad to do well

[edgy oriole]

BUT i only watch occasion like i said so im prolly not the best about answering what makes good content

[dapper night]

Also they in BF3 and 4 Nightbirds don’t have rocket pods

[cosmic sequoia]

Gotcha. Thanks. Maybe live streaming is my answer but I’m not sure and it probably isn’t lol.

[hybrid totem]

nightbird is just "hey lookit me I can hold down the entire map by myself whoooo!"

[cosmic sequoia]

Smallest hit box too

[dapper night]

But iirc they have the 25mm canon but for infantry only

[cosmic sequoia]

My problem with the nightbird is that after I make him aware of my presence in the Apache or hokum, he fucks me up. If I beat him once, he comes back for the rest of the game to haunt me

[jovial jay]

Its absolutely annoying to go against 4 5 dudes with 2 crawford in the back welding

All damage deal like nothing

[cosmic sequoia]

“Just use AA missiles” and then the nightbird does little circles in the air

[jovial jay]

[hybrid totem]

yep! but at least once you take down a hind squad, the individual players move on. Nightbird pilots are vindictive as fuck

and don't need anyone else to wreck everything

[jovial jay]

Yea

They hold grudge

Which is fun killing lol

[hybrid totem]

most of them are streamers too

[cosmic sequoia]

Yepp

[jovial jay]

They will sit behind spawn furiously smashing space button for the nightbird

[cosmic sequoia]

Me, solo running in my Apache, just trying to enjoy the game

[royal swan]

Nice, super 500 skin and cav brawler skin to my collection of ee rewards

[hybrid totem]

that's funny that you think they don't use macros

[royal swan]

Goes well with my angel ee skin

[cosmic sequoia]

Macros for flying???

Seriously v

?

[hybrid totem]

more for shooting and making sure they get the spawn

[jovial jay]

Na more like macro for slot

Yea

[royal swan]

Now all we need is a primary ee skin

[cosmic sequoia]

Oh

I just plug a controller in

And spam press a

Lol

[royal swan]

Then I can have a full ee loadout

[hybrid totem]

I can only use paddles for racing games

My accuracy is terrible with them

my thumbs are just bulky ig

[jovial jay]

Im guilty of space button smashing too but that was for a wildcat slot and jets before it disappear in breakthrough

[cosmic sequoia]

Man BT is so sad

What a neutered game mode

[jovial jay]

Lol

Neutered game mode

[cosmic sequoia]

They just can’t seem to get it right imo

[jovial jay]

What a way so sum it up

[copper ice]

How 2042 is designed doesnt lend itself well to BT

[cosmic sequoia]

Well it was like 128, decent vehicle action. And now it’s like… unbalanced vehicles, only 64 player and some of the zones are impossible to defend or attack

[jovial jay]

I miss my jets in BT

[copper ice]

minimal recoil and spread means any sightlines people push on get fucked regardless of distance

[cosmic sequoia]

Blueberries cry cry cry and then ridiculous changes happen

[jovial jay]

Blueberries?

[copper ice]

there's smoke but the defenders have a billion explosives and bullets so the smoke isn't safe

[cosmic sequoia]

Yeah

[abstract rampart]

anyone experience a bug where your gun stops firing randomly under sustained fire?

[copper ice]

and irish lel

[cosmic sequoia]

Blueberry is basically a random teammate on the battlefield. They operate like NPCs though

[copper ice]

so there's vehicles to help attack, but because vehicles die immediately to c5 they camp

[jovial jay]

Maybe your mouse had a slight malfunction

[cosmic sequoia]

Tanks are fucking weak in this game. Going from 5 to this makes me puke

[copper ice]

and defenders cant do anything about camping vehicles so its just infantry pushing getting farmed by defenders who are getting farmed by camping vehicles

[jovial jay]

Thats why BT need jets

[cosmic sequoia]

I mean make the tor tank a shot kill, but the t28 and Abrams should be TANKS
