battlefield-2042

[next onyx]

But the fact that there was no way to predict it and darts lasted as long as they did. IT was pain.

[copper ice]

lis should be anti-air engie, crawford repair/base defence engie, boris anti-ground engie

[next onyx]

Buff Crawford to place two turrets.

[low timber]

Actually, this new map is gonna be our first snow map right? As Breakaway is ice map

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[frigid violet]

that's ridiculous tho

[stone cradle]

Wait, so they aren't a typo of 'Notepads'?

[arctic grove]

Or buff his bullets

[edgy oriole]

his special is repair faster when vehicles are at a certain health. 10-15%. so you keep vehicles alive just by baby repairing pretty much

[copper ice]

buff crawford turret to replace the minigun with two g57 taped to a stick

[arctic grove]

Its No Pants

[hard geyser]

Oh wow that's insane. Thanks for the tip

[calm bison]

Nice to see DICE went with black for this new season

[dusk falcon]

oh btw dice deleted the teaser only video on yt

https://youtu.be/mo2O3UCQxhc

here it is

[hard geyser]

I always use Boris or dozer just cuz

[frigid violet]

obvious rickroll

[sand cairn]

How about 2 Super 500 instead?

[copper ice]

boris is objectively the worst spec in the game right now

[dusk falcon]

check bro istg

[edgy oriole]

its neo pets

[arctic grove]

Worst specialist in all categories

[frigid violet]

so s5 is a 5 year time skip someone said?

[stone cradle]

new season's colour scheme gives off huge BF3 vibes

[arctic grove]

Boris was shit before his nerf and even worse after

[stone cradle]

[frigid violet]

what year did titans get made in the lore?

[edgy oriole]

yeah i saw someone say 2048 which is crazy

[hard geyser]

It seems but I don't keep up with lore too much since the beginning

[arctic grove]

Hello Sunny Tater

[fresh cairn]

I mean Boris and Casper mains share 1 brain cell most 1 dimensional players

[edgy oriole]

3 specialist in their 60s in season 5

[frigid violet]

how many more seasons until titan mode comes back

[hard geyser]

New season just vibes 10 year ago bf and I'm for it.

[arctic grove]

At the very least, Casper has a useful drone

[fresh cairn]

We’re lucky to get S5 they coulda dropped the game after 4

[fresh cairn]

Still dogshit players

[arctic grove]

Next game maybe

[fresh cairn]

If you need spots get better

Prove me wrong

[arctic grove]

Fair

[stone cradle]

now if they could give us a remixed version of the BF theme in the style of BF3 electronic

[arctic grove]

I like the bf4 theme.

[hard geyser]

Next game would be modern huh?

[stone cradle]

probably

[edgy oriole]

drones dont just spot. they deactivate equipment and vehicles

[quaint vector]

So... Season 5 Map is indeed in my home Czech Republic 🇨🇿🫡

[frigid violet]

next game should be like bf 2078 or something

[fresh cairn]

I say that as how the fuck are you gonna get 200+ spots and I still get top 3 minimum on the scoreboard

[frigid violet]

with titans and specialists

no classes

[copper ice]

casper is poorly designed because his drone encourages bush squatting all round
boris is poorly designed because his turret doesn't fucking do anything

they're not comparable imo

[still vault]

What about a different version of a certain BF1 trailer. We can call the song, 8 Nation army.

[stone cradle]

😔 london map when

[hard geyser]

Your dream might come true

[edgy oriole]

its spot assist not just spots

[stone cradle]

they teased in the exodus short, come on

[arctic grove]

Xp farming. especially with 128 BT

[stone cradle]

[robust vapor]

So we get the CZ scorpion :>?

[fresh cairn]

This is facts but still Boris and Casper mains are dogshit minimum age is 48 to play them

[stone cradle]

Bring back white stripes to compose, lmao

[arctic grove]

I want a German city map. Imagine, You get your sanitater back

[quaint vector]

I'm just happy that small country like CZE got into the game

[fresh cairn]

I mean true but farming is way better

[arctic grove]

Im 31 so im close enough to main boris.

[low timber]

And in snow.

[quaint vector]

[stone cradle]

maybe if we get an EU faction, and we can play as old Günter, lol

[copper ice]

i want to enjoy casper but his drone is just silly right now

[hard geyser]

Isn't it good

[arctic grove]

YES I AGREE

[fresh cairn]

31 is the perfect age to be a Mackay/Falck farmer

Never say you’re close to Boris age

Yucky

[frigid violet]

does anyone else suffer from blurry textures

like im out of vram or something

[copper ice]

it's too good; you just crouch in a bush and spot all round

[stone cradle]

is it confirmed to be in there? That's awesome

[arctic grove]

I dont like mackay. He reminds me too much of Scout from TF2

[frigid violet]

since the last two patches it's been more of a problem imo

[copper ice]

i want to mix my spotting with shooting

[frigid violet]

silly blurry textures

[rocky ether]

wish dice would aculy deal with people who rage cheat in the main servers its getting boring

[sand cairn]

I just want something similar to BF4 for the new one but I don’t think it’ll happen

[frigid violet]

god no

[sand cairn]

Wot that was my favorite battlefield

[stone cradle]

no, we need a modern BF3

BF4 was bf3 but worse in many ways

[copper ice]

2042 is the spiritual successor to bf4

[quaint vector]

Season 5 Map, Located in Czech Republic (Zlín) 🇨🇿

[sand cairn]

No please no

[fresh cairn]

I still like how Mackay is the only thing in 2042 to cop a nerf without looking at the stats the higher tier players made the community so upset the nerf him 3 times

[rich elbow]

New Dawn

[stone cradle]

woah

[fresh cairn]

But it takes over a year and a half of complaining to delete nose guns

[arctic grove]

Battlfield for the N64/PS1 was my favorite version

[fresh cairn]

Great job

10/10

[quaint vector]

Love it ❤️🇨🇿

[quaint vector]

[stone cradle]

Far Cry battlefield confirmed?!!

[robust vapor]

Oh you found me on the left. Probably wondering how I got there

[next onyx]

Too bad no CZ3a1 for you though.

[quaint vector]

I'm just happy that CZE will get into the game.

[next onyx]

Ye.

I wonder if we'll get one in NZ.

[stone cradle]

now lets speculate s6 map

[low timber]

Can I have RK 62M?

[sand cairn]

Is there even gonna be a s6? I thought they were gonna pull the plug on 2042

[stone cradle]

all signs point to the opposite

[sick eagle]

s6 map is the ishimura

[arctic grove]

S6 hasnt been confirmed

[sand cairn]

Ah shit ok

[frigid violet]

i haven't used the m5a3 in a long time but it seems nerfed now, true?

[edgy oriole]

false

[stone cradle]

theyll confirm it in the S5 video

[edgy oriole]

m5 is still best AR in the game

[frigid violet]

whats the meta loadout these days?

[sand cairn]

PP?

[edgy oriole]

short barrel like it always been

[frigid violet]

short barrel 30rnds?

what grip and sight?

[edgy oriole]

all preference. just need short barrel

[lucid goblet]

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/the-world-of-battlefield-2042/arkangel-archives

[sand cairn]

@edgy oriole I just wanna say from the bottom of my heart fuck you i tapped into your profile and your banner almost gave me a heart attack

You are evil

[edgy oriole]

thats my wife

[sand cairn]

Nice

[robust vapor]

[sand cairn]

Still doesn’t make it less creepy with the close view

[robust vapor]

bonbon jumpscare

like how Casper jumpscares you instead of drone camping

[sand cairn]

[edgy oriole]

t1 casper is endgame boss

[robust vapor]

naw his event outfit is scary enough

if 2042 introduces a pitch black night map

metro with no lights

[granite island]

2042s first snow forest mountain map

[stone cradle]

I'm going to speculate that season 7 will end in 'Hour'

[robust vapor]

[stone cradle]

[granite island]

Imagine if the finale season name is 2142

[copper ice]

grip is mostly irrelevant so run treble UBGL and m5 has no recoil so you can beam people 100m away with the 1.25x or take thermal

[sand cairn]

Oh yeah I’m more confused how we got flashlights and lasers but no pitch black map where they can be fun and useful

[stone cradle]

S1 - 0 Hour
S4 - 11th Hour
seems fitting then 3 seasons later it ends with hour again

[edgy oriole]

24th hour

[next onyx]

OH SHIT THAT'S RIGHT.

There would of been a play test.

[robust vapor]

Prise De Tahure 2042

[next onyx]

So that's due to pop up soon-ish.

[frigid violet]

trying the thermal now, seems like fun

[next onyx]

Just be a chad with fusion holo.

[granite island]

I can already tell

This map huge af isn't it

I bet this is 1 sector

[stone cradle]

that should be the last season's name

[sand cairn]

Welp I’m going rn been nice chatting with you all, goodnight 👋

[granite island]

I now have 2 things to look forward to

[safe bramble]

Ah yes, "final dev note" aka tor is going to be untouched for the games lifespan

[stone cradle]

[granite island]

The ps showcase and season 5 trailer

[safe bramble]

This will surely lead to 2042s longevity

[copper ice]

maybe rpg will hard counter tor

(It will not)

[granite island]

Aps

[safe bramble]

Just c5 them!!!

[frigid violet]

i was using K8 holo because i like it better but we'll see

[edgy oriole]

we need a subsonic launcher

[safe bramble]

(They sit in spawn)

[edgy oriole]

to counter the aps

[oak sedge]

"Take on any foe, no matter their size"
oh my GOD it's happening they're actually going to do Walkers

PLEASE

[edgy oriole]

if we were able to have call in strikes the tor wouldnt be a problem

[granite island]

Wait

Who are we fighting as in season 5

[edgy oriole]

some mountain people

[granite island]

Is it still us and Russia

Or Russia vs nopats

America vs nopats

[edgy oriole]

mountain people and kebab shop owners

[stone cradle]

Why would do they do walkers this early

[mental delta]

So if I got it right transport vehicles aren't fixed at the start of season 5 ?

[edgy oriole]

vehicle update says 5.0

[granite island]

Before you fix hourglass

I would like one more rework for kaleidoscope

[oak sedge]

who knows if there's actually going to be a season 6 so in my mind it's now or never for walkers

[stone cradle]

Yeah but it's only 20 years later for this game

[oak sedge]

Also the fact that the map is inspired by Ghosts of Karelia, the map that had walkers being built

let me dream DAMN IT

[stone cradle]

This isn't 100 years later

[granite island]

Its only 6 years later

I think

Maybe 7

[oak sedge]

Yeah I think Final Stand was 2035 in BF4

[elfin coral]

Better idea, US and Russia vs No Pats

[stone cradle]

Oh no I mean from these times

[elfin coral]

[edgy oriole]

only 5 years later = 3 specialist still being in their 60s

[stone cradle]

Wait, then I guess walkers could make sense if they made it like 20 years later

From 42

[oak sedge]

According to the recent easter eggs it's probably going to be 2048, so only 6 years later

[mental delta]

The patch note doesn't talk about air vehicles

[granite island]

Oh OK so I guess a bunch of ai will be at the objectives defending while us and Russia (the players) are trying to conquer them

[stone cradle]

Imagine if we actually get more rangers

I want a support ranger

[next onyx]

When you consider what they need to get a mech functional I wouldn't be surprised if they were only functional by the 2120's.

[oak sedge]

Yeah I'm shocked they haven't done another drone call in

like a flying quadcopter like in black ops 2

[next onyx]

You need a strong endo skeleton to support all the weight.

A proper amount of ammo.

[oak sedge]

weaker than the ranger but has more visibility because it can fly

[next onyx]

A good engine.

[mental delta]

No-pats vs no-pats, they got political divergences about pineapple on pizza

[next onyx]

And good stablisers.

[oak sedge]

Yeah I know all of that I just want to dream

[copper ice]

They had prototype mechs at the end of bf4

[stone cradle]

Yes 😔

[arctic grove]

still disgusting

[copper ice]

ranger seems like it doesnt fall over, we just need a bigger ranger

[granite island]

Where wolf

[stone cradle]

The lore even helps them because they say that the EU has disbanded

[oak sedge]

All I'm saying is they were building not only Walkers, but TITANS too in 2035

[granite island]

Or oz

[copper ice]

make it godzilla size

[next onyx]

Yeah though they were not usable.

[mental delta]

It was 2020 like the rest of the game

[oak sedge]

No I'm pretty sure it was explicitly said that Final Stand was much farther ahead than that

[elfin coral]

Disappeared

[sharp marten]

I’m still tryna figure out what 1 11 06 means

[elfin coral]

He’s now out and about

@radiant prism help me out here

[mental delta]

That doesn't change anything, we know once the map released it'll be US vs Russia because they won't make the efforts to make other factions

[granite island]

Atleaat give me a weather power gadget

[next onyx]

oh yeah HAHA chunky thanks for reminding me about this.

[oak sedge]

But if it was in 2020 then Titans and Walkers started being built 28 years before New Dawn

[radiant prism]

Wut

[next onyx]

It's a literal light mech with a gauss rifle LMAO.

Only weapon that it can use.

[stone cradle]

[next onyx]

Because it's too heavy.

[elfin coral]

Tell @granite island about Oz and Wolff as it stands with all this new stuff

[radiant prism]

Just send him the article

[mental delta]

Clearly

[sharp marten]

Nothing wrong with the TOR it’s fine how it is

[stone cradle]

Imagine how much more clear the lore would be if they just had actual factions

[radiant prism]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/the-world-of-battlefield-2042/the-reed-report

[mental delta]

Yup it was the case, but they were barely functional

[low timber]

Good

[granite island]

Then there would be 3 factions

Us Russia and no pats

[elfin coral]

@granite island

[hardy crest]

I hope s5 is not the last seasons plz dice ea crossing finger for gods sake plz no

🙏🙏🙏🙏😞

[oak sedge]

It would be a lot better if they didn't go "UHHHHHH yeah EU just collapsed overnight"

[left hollow]

Hopefully they add another faction

[mental delta]

Thanks to them for specialists and not adding multiple factions lol

[oak sedge]

because US vs Russia all over the place everywhere around the entire planet sounds like a war that is just too massive for only two parties

[stone cradle]

It's like they intentionally did this so they had an excuse to why they can't add more factions

[oak sedge]

Yeah

wrong emote but whatever

[bleak bear]

[oak sedge]

but even then Portal had like 6-7 different factions, even though the majority of them were just reskinned RU and US

[mental delta]

Still better than specialists lol

[oak sedge]

And it's not like different factions would be THAT MUCH of a strain on the game's development since everyone shares vehicles and weapon loadouts

aside from like a few vehicles

[stone cradle]

An EU faction would make so much sense as well as a new MEC

[oak sedge]

All they'd need to do is just have a voice over for EU

[bleak bear]

<- lol

[stone cradle]

For proper representation have the voicelines cycle between a French, a Spanish guy, a brit and a swede

[mental delta]

Did you forget EU collapsed in 2 weeks so they didn't have to bother with Lore about it ?

[stone cradle]

Yes, I forgot that a very strong alliance just went poof overnight

[carmine rover]

meow

[oak sedge]

Yeah Germany went bankrupt and the ENTIRETY OF EUROPE just instantly died

including the UK which isn't even part of the EU

[granite island]

Maybe they joined back before everything went to shit

[mental delta]

Poof EU disappeared

[stone cradle]

They don't even specify how really

[oak sedge]

There was no specification it was literally just this

[elfin coral]

Finally inner peace

[edgy oriole]

they couldnt produce enough energy

[bleak bear]

Maybe Russia got back.

[sharp marten]

https://tenor.com/view/spiderman-gif-20478445

[stone cradle]

I think they said riots, that's it.

[sharp marten]

EU rn

[mental delta]

[edgy oriole]

russia feeds the EU energy

[oak sedge]

Germany declares bankruptcy and the entire continent just got thanos'd

[bleak bear]

Soviet Union went backrupt fighting in Afghanistan all those years. Sametime Im sure Western Europe had something to do with this.

[elfin coral]

They did show Eastern Europe burning and stuff in the exodus film

[bleak bear]

Western Europe my bad.

[stone cradle]

The game's cinematic intro just says riots, and now every country that's not the US or Russia is a 'failed state'

[oak sedge]

Yeah but we don't know how the correlation equaled the causation

we only saw the causation

[stone cradle]

Except Switzerland, again

Ireland seems to be safe too, everyone is migrating there

[mental delta]

The rest of the world suffered from a massive skill issue

[bleak bear]

Rothchilds bankrupt Soviet Union. Russia got back doing the samething?

[elfin coral]

Don’t forget food and fuel shortages in 2034 which starts the second Great Depression

That played a part

[bleak bear]

Conspiracy... I made that up. But if you think about it... those elite families at the top are like a team. Look at the Russia you see today as businessman versus the businessman in Western Europe (nobility/Royalty types)

[stone cradle]

https://youtu.be/ErOhnq7hvlw

[copper ice]

"excuse me mr military may we have some fuel"
"No we need to give it all to the nopats so they can use their railgun tanks"

[stone cradle]

This was a cool intro ngl

[bleak bear]

The old Soviet Union with Russia was cool.

need more Soviet propaganda with Ivan Drago

[stone cradle]

Remove no pats and keep the EU and it would've made for an actual great premise

[mental delta]

I like how they use no-pats to avoid war between superpowers but in bot mode it's superpowers fighting themselves

[oak sedge]

I just find this whole thing annoying because they already HAD a story, a way out, just have the second ice age from 2142 start and everyone's like "oh SHIT all of our cities and farmlands are starting to become uninhabitable"

and then with that you can have countries collapse

because the land is literally dying

They literally already had the story they could use

[elfin coral]

No Pats should’ve been something in the background

[bleak bear]

yeah and eating crickets

farmland is dying

not enough space or something like that

someone was trying to sell that eating crickets is the future

[bleak bear]

I wont say the world is dying. But is changing. People are upset and protesting kind of like what was in 2142.

[oak sedge]

I also think the idea of plausible deniability with the superpowers hirign mercenaries to do their work a super cool idea
but in game the briefings show that Russia and the US already know it's Russia and the US so what's the point

And the bots, of course

They could've just had one side have actual soldier bots and the other have non descript no pat bots

Especially for something like Breakthrough

[willow thicket]

this better not be the last season with the name "new dawn"

that'll be funny as fuck

[acoustic island]

Is the hourglass remake this season or season 5

[bleak bear]

Dubai?

Is that Dubai? Forgot

[elfin coral]

Doha

[bleak bear]

Mybad

[quaint vector]

Hourglass rework in Season 5

[edgy oriole]

should be called hourglass remake

[willow thicket]

doesn't season 5 end in like 2 weeks?

[edgy oriole]

[mental delta]

There's no point they just needed to justify specialists and it's the only way they found

[elfin coral]

No Pats should’ve been background characters

[quaint vector]

Currently Season 4

[mental delta]

We should be able to play as classes bots

[willow thicket]

oh yeah

what was the map rework this season, manifest?

[elfin coral]

Yes

Absolutely

[quaint vector]

Discarded

[willow thicket]

ah yeah

[mental delta]

It's a criminal act how they skipped the whole Lore those last days

[arctic grove]

Plot Twist: That is the new s5 map.

[quaint vector]

Nope

[iron light]

I finally got the NVK-S22 T1

[arctic grove]

Typical DICE

[quaint vector]

This is the new Season 5 Map, Located in my home Czech Republic 🇨🇿

[mental delta]

Then they expect players to like the game a lot and feel interested in it

[edgy oriole]

i wanna see 3 kebab shops in new map.

on every corner

[steady quiver]

guys, can i get help in this chat?

[edgy oriole]

depends

[copper ice]

Good luck having any houses in 2042

[quaint vector]

Yeah, depends with what..?

[elfin coral]

I’m trying to make a fanfic here but it’s so hard when there’s barely anything

[woeful warren]

does anyone know how to implement 4h battle passes when buying the ultimate edition? These seasons have already passed and I wonder if something will give for them?

[chilly jacinth]

season 5 is coming

[stone cradle]

I just hope they dont pull it again

With the next BF

[mental delta]

It's not even put in order

[mental delta]

According to rumors there's like 99% they dig that shit 100ft high under the ground to hide how embarrassing it was

[arctic grove]

Specialists = selling skins = money

[stone cradle]

I mean it can totally happen, just set the game in 2060

[hybrid totem]

right like you wouldn't buy crawford's skin on a standard assault class

[stone cradle]

Mention the no-pats and how that was a failed movement

So countries had to get directly involved again

[arctic grove]

Crawford hitman skin is based

[robust vapor]

Baldford

[mental delta]

Yeah, last time I said that some floks probably told me to fuck off, can't accept the truth

[mental delta]

I hope next game is happening between 2000s to 2020s and not more

[stone cradle]

BF4 was 2020s though

[hybrid totem]

yeah, just do that again

bf4.2

[stone cradle]

2025

[mental delta]

BF6

And nothing else

Please

[quaint vector]

Battlefield Bad Company 3

[edgy oriole]

i still dont think BC comedy will hold up in todays world

itll be nice for nostalgia but i dont think it will be a successful game

[elfin coral]

Black Ops 2 on frostbite

[hybrid totem]

I mean they still have to do bf5. We got bfv

[steady quiver]

im getting the error "could not load persistence data"

[chilly jacinth]

try a different mode

[steady quiver]

i cant do anything, when i try to start the game the error appears on screen

like, when is "Connecting to the servers"

[mental delta]

People are already complaining new map is isolated buildings out of nowhere, and i understand them ngl

[copper ice]

as long as one of them is a house i dont care

[chilly jacinth]

maybe try and delete your settings file

[hybrid totem]

have you played since the last update? If not, you may need to force the EA app to update your game

[sharp marten]

The new map is in your home country you know what means right?

[quaint vector]

What..

[steady quiver]

I had not played for a long time, I downloaded it again this morning, I had this same error that I am mentioning, but after I tried several times the error stopped and I managed to play a few games, now this error is back

[crimson basin]

What's the story for s5 again?

[sharp marten]

I’ll break my way out of bounds on the map and rapidly approach your house

[quaint vector]

[robust vapor]

kidnap @quaint vector

[arctic grove]

Nahhh tooo many snowflakes

[robust vapor]

[sharp marten]

[quaint vector]

I have 10 Rangers, 20 Boris Turrets ready, Aiming at my door.

[robust vapor]

and 50 c5s decorated on your walls

[zealous mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/shield-gif-19995580

[steady quiver]

[zealous mountain]

Snipers behind their shields

[quaint vector]

All I need for my protection...

[robust vapor]

all you need for protection is rabid enders

[quaint vector]

[robust vapor]

#nohatejustmemes

[sharp marten]

I think we should kidnap @quaint vector

[robust vapor]

RU vs US they fight each other so the winner can kidnap a CZ guy

ok

[woeful warren]

does anyone know how to implement 4h battle passes when buying the ultimate edition? These seasons have already passed and I wonder if something will give for them?

[quaint vector]

DICE, What have you done...

[robust vapor]

so the no-pats kill each other just to kidnap a NPC

#battlefield-legacy-titles2042

[quaint vector]

[robust vapor]

[stone cradle]

They said they don't understand why we want it

[quaint vector]

OOF

[robust vapor]

cod have mw3 why can't we have bc3?

:<

[elfin coral]

They’re not gonna touch it so that the magic doesn’t get ruined

The one good thing they’ve said

[sharp marten]

[chilly jacinth]

a mystery

[crimson basin]

Is that a coundown or just June 11th?

[edgy oriole]

both

[quaint vector]

[arctic grove]

Imagine new dawn and its a far cry map.

[ebon pilot]

I would like to make a prediction

based on this line in the lore post

Neural link technologies and prosthetics division: The team has done phenomenal work on the rollout of our “Warriors Reborn” initiative. We have restored more than 20,000 soldiers to full operational capacity through the application of our enhanced prosthetics. It is worth highlighting Boreas’ research in this field promises revolutionary developments and heralds a paradigm shift in infantry warfare.

the cosmetic theme this season will be prosthetics for many of the specialists

robotic arms, legs, armor, etc

[sharp marten]

Hol up

He might be onto something

[ebon pilot]

Czechia situation: We can confirm an Eastern Forces controlled train route in Zlín has come under attack from the Moravian Guard militia causing a derailment to one of our shipments. This is a highly fluid situation that will be contained before our cargo is compromised by approaching US forces. Rest assured, this matter is being taken seriously and we are working on a program to deploy Arkangel Legion to recover assets.

Might also be a reference to a mid season event based on said asset recovery with cosmetics related to the "Arkangel Legion"

or it's just a reference to the new map itself idk

[robust vapor]

Zain right now: so Im not unique anymore then

[arctic grove]

Im gonna put my Tin Foil Hat and say its no coincidence DICE dropped bfv after chapter 5 and in 2042 will be dropped after S5.

[arctic grove]

We can always use more soldiers with Prosthetics

[robust vapor]

Full Metal Soldiers

[bitter mulch]

So it is Zavod?

[chilly jacinth]

its not

zavod is in russia

[fervent rose]

"Our final Dev Note preview for Season 5 covers how we're reworking all of the Vehicle Loadouts" if tor maul isnt addressed

[opal compass]

tor is balanced

the moment it doesnt hit the first shot on a heli, its probably done for

[sharp marten]

Can you confirm ?

[arctic grove]

Looks like zavod

[quaint vector]

BF4 vibes indeed

[safe bramble]

Mmm zavod, home of the camping aa

[robust aspen]

Oh I believe the game is done after s5

[fervent rose]

it is absolutely not balanced vs ground vehicles in any shape or form

It's the worst instance of ground vehicle balance in bf, of all time.

[royal swan]

Nice we get the classic black and orange for this season

[arctic grove]

I cannot confirm. its a conspiracy theory

[opal compass]

its pretty easy to kill em off.

[fervent rose]

EZ called the orange

it's far easier for the TOR to 2 shot you from a mile away when you're in whatever ground vehicle

[royal swan]

The bf4 color scheme

[arctic grove]

That is what a chad would say

[next onyx]

Tor is not balanced well at all because of maul.

[fervent rose]

also the maul tor can kill stuff like the brawler at 75%

1 shot at 75%? fuck that!

[next onyx]

The current state of maul makes the railtank too effective.

If MAULS charge times and velocity wasn't so quick there'd be less of a problem.

[arctic grove]

Maul in seige mode is the best

[opal compass]

tor can and should only be played on long range. the dmg on the bralwer is too much. yes. Tanks take 3 hits. the long reload time of tor takes it tol

[fervent rose]

tanks take 2 hits from maul

[opal compass]

3

[hybrid totem]

lowering the velocity of a railgun... hm

charge time I agree with though

[fervent rose]

it's 2, stop making shit up

[next onyx]

You're forced to sit at a range.

[opal compass]

dude. i have 3k kills on tor. its 3

[hybrid totem]

lowering charge time would make you even more forced to sit at range

[next onyx]

Probably misinterpreted the numbers.

It's a 3HK and solely that.

[elfin coral]

the wiki also says 3

[hybrid totem]

wildcats die in 2 shots

tanks in 3

[opal compass]

^

[next onyx]

I don't remember it being a 2HK on MBTS.

[opal compass]

this

[next onyx]

Guess who wrote that lol.

[copper ice]

is it 2 without repair

and 3 with repair

[opal compass]

no

[next onyx]

It deals 44 Max.

[fervent rose]

okay guys, you play tanks and try to ever experience it hitting you 3 times

[opal compass]

3 without repair

[copper ice]

44! my word

[next onyx]

The third hit is a kill.

[fervent rose]

95% of the time it's going to kill you in 2 shots in the actual game

[next onyx]

Definite kill.

[fervent rose]

99% probably

[next onyx]

That's weird.

[fervent rose]

you're not at full hp in a tank unless you play like a complete bitch in 2042

[next onyx]

I'm not trying to discount you at all. In my experience it's always been a 3HK

Ah yeah.

[opal compass]

if you get damaged by something else in the meantime, then its 2 hits. yes. but if only the tor hits you in an mbt, its 3 hits to be dead

[copper ice]

tanks do take chip damage from a shitload of things

[fervent rose]

like i dont care about "ideal" situations

im talking about how the game actually plays

if i push, the maul 2 shots me

every single fucking time

[next onyx]

Game be like fuck you sadly.

It is possible to adjust the charge of the railguns in reality, smith.

[hybrid totem]

kinda sucks that you take extra damage, there's already so much in the game

[fervent rose]

theres no need for the Maul cannon to exist

[next onyx]

Purely to preserve the railgun.

[stable sail]

OMG please fix the Crossroads skin for the Brawler

It gets caught ON EVERYTHING

[fervent rose]

maul could be anti infantry and be interesting / have a purpose

[next onyx]

I don't disagree. HAMMER should have the fast velocity on hand. 30 to 33 damage a hit instead of 44.

Maul is a straight upgrade over hammer unfort.

You go back to hammer wow you can hit your shots.

But who cares if you break the game with Maul.

[dapper stream]

Hi everyone, I'd like to ask for some advice if you can offer any.
Recently I purchased and installed BF 2042 but I'm running into some performance issues
When I first launched the game my video settings were automatically set to medium, but even after putting everything on low I don't get a stable 60 FPS and my cpu seems to be at 100% or pretty close to it all the time
I'm not really a tech guy but I'd say I have a decent enough setup to be able to run the game without the previously mentioned issues.
Here are my specs:
MSI desktop Z390-A-PRO
Palit GF RTX2060 Super JetStream 8GB
Intel Core i5 9600K 3.7GHz
SSD Adata 512GB SX8200 PRO PCIe M.2 2280 NVMe
2x Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR4-2400 RAM

[hybrid totem]

nightbirds are the reason the MAUl has to exist

[fervent rose]

god i hope the latv flak pod fucks them up

[stable sail]

Literally nothing you can do. BF2042 is a CPU hog and its not being fixed.

[dapper night]

Ummm DICE is there a reason why you decided to put the Ram on the “Heavy Vehicle” section instead of making the Ram its own category “IFV” like in BF3 and 4 or make a “Mobile AA” Category and place the Wildcat there?

[hybrid totem]

hang on, the entirety of DICE will get back to you shortly

[stable sail]

People swear by the user.cfg file and it seems to be the only thing that even SLIGHTLY helps.

[copper ice]

yes; because ram is stronk as fuck

[dapper stream]

thats great to hear... i read a few reviews, none of them seemed to mention that particular issue

[fervent rose]

wildcat is getting its own category finally

[stable sail]

I'll post my forum thread post on it @dapper stream

[dapper night]

That doesn’t mean it belongs to the Heavy Vehicle section

[fervent rose]

but yes it was an obvious cock up putting those in the same category

[stable sail]

it has a slight fix in there

[next sorrel]

there is a pinned 99% cpu usage thread on steam discussion

[dapper night]

Yea but they place the Ram in the Heavy Vehicle Section which it shouldn’t be

[copper ice]

ram is the lightest heavy in the world

[random breach]

anybody wanna help me t1 irish today

[next onyx]

Zoom.

[random breach]

not about to sweat on breakthrough

[next onyx]

Zoomy boy.

[hybrid totem]

where would YOU put it, Mystery man with sarcasm font?

[dapper stream]

if you're talking about the user.cfg file that you add into the game file to like match your cpu cores or whatever, i already did that
didnt help much if at all

[opal compass]

hit shots? dont you hit shots with maul?

[stable sail]

Nah there's something extra to do

[next onyx]

I can. Not like it's difficult to use MAUL rounds.

It's even easier to use hammer tho.

[fervent rose]

i mean the clear answer is giving wildcat and ram their own categories

[opal compass]

never used hammer tbh

[dapper night]

Disagree the Ram should be in the IFV section like in BF3 and 4, why make the categories complex?

[next onyx]

They fly and charge faster but deal mbt damage and can't ohk flying vehicles. More balanced than Maul.

[hybrid totem]

the clear answer is go back to bf4 style vehicle picking, but...

[fervent rose]

but that would cost money to redo the ui and they lazy

[copper ice]

because ram would be an autopick over the IFVs

[dapper stream]

also im very new to the game, but why does it feel impossible to shoot anything in a plane/helicopter

[next onyx]

The aiming system.

[dapper night]

Make a new category called IFV like BF3 and 4 vehicle categories function

[fervent rose]

flight assist cant be fully turned off

[next onyx]

You know if they brought the Bradley and bmp in with the tows that'd be bases.

[dapper night]

Cuz the Ram is the only IFV tbf

[stable sail]

Thread.MaxProcessorCount 4
Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0
Thread.JobThreadPriority 0
GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 12```

That's what I'm running for 12 core CPU

[opal compass]

Maul takes years to reload. you need to think on what you shoot and when. one missed shot on someone like Floris in his Heli, and youre done for

[stable sail]

I had to limit the max proc count cuz it was the only way to drop it below 99%

[fervent rose]

it helped my system

but i'm not an expert on cpus in any way

[next sorrel]

i hope the next battlefield game is actually good

[next onyx]

Due to the tors nature you don't really lose much.

[stable sail]

idgaf if its good or not I hope it RUNS GOOD

[next onyx]

You can sit back in relative safety.

[dapper night]

In Battlefield 3 and 4, Vehicle Categories goes by: Tank, IFV, Mobile AA, Attack Jet, Stealth Jet, Transport, Attack Heli, Nightbird and Boats

[opal compass]

@next onyx guess why people actually hunt me down when they see and recognize me in a round

[dapper stream]

i found a video on the user.cfg file thingy and apparently this is what i needed to change my values to before adding the file into the game file
Thread.ProcessorCount 6
Thread.MaxProcessorCount 6
Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0
Thread.JobThreadPriority 0
GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 6

[next onyx]

Since it's a pure vehicle destroyer you aren't really changing your playstyle.

[dapper night]

Idk why DICE can’t just follow this category

[elfin coral]

I should run the others through the mission one last time. As squad leader it’s up to me to choose our designation. I'm no good at names, but Irish had one for us: Tombstone.

NO NO NO

[dapper night]

It’s much more simpler

[elfin coral]

YOU DON'T DESERVE THAT NAME

THAT NAME WAS SPECIAL DAMN IT

[stable sail]

Eh try mine. Be sure to save as all files and name it User.cfg

[opal compass]

they hate me for playing tor. since they cant run rampage in their Helis racking those 100 kill streaks

i dont care lol

[slow flicker]

learn rifle aim

[fervent rose]

^ rifle aim can definitely help

[dapper night]

The way DICE handling the roles of each vehicle in 2042 is bad plus they messed up the categories

[elfin coral]

@radiant prism look how they massacred the name

[opal compass]

i help the team in keeping the skys clean. most of the time ignoring ground vehicles if they dont annoy me

[elfin coral]

[dapper stream]

kinda hard when i cant get consistent 60fps with what i think should be a decent enough rig, especially with the lowest settings

[fervent rose]

it's pretty lame that the ideal anti air vehicle is a railgun, you can disagree but its true

that's the wildcat's role

[dapper stream]

did that already, do you suggest i lower the maxprocesscount to 4 from 6?

[stable sail]

ya

[dapper stream]

cant hurt to try ig

[opal compass]

even the devs say its against air vehicle

[dapper night]

DICE just make a IFV and a Mobile AA category how hard it is to make both the Ram and Wildcat have it’s own category?

[arctic grove]

Thank you

Man I hate those helis

[elfin coral]

which ones?

[opal compass]

i hate em too. ~

[arctic grove]

Especially when our AA's have anti infantry loadout

[opal compass]

which most of the time they have

[arctic grove]

Every single one

[opal compass]

and this wont change with the update

[fervent rose]

i agree it's weak. they should fix the ui and add another category. but it's still better this way than current patch

[dapper night]

A IFV, Mobile AA and a Tank isn’t really that hard to make

[dapper night]

Yea but now players are going to fight between a Tank or a IFV which sucks if we’re talking about roles

[safe bramble]

Cant wait for 2042 to get the bf4 treatment and everyone is forced into community servers that ban tor

[arctic grove]

Can we all agree The Division colors for S5 is cool?

We need infantry conquest 24/7

Or cqs

[safe bramble]

Go play cod for that

[dapper night]

Cuz Heavy Armor fits in the Tank while the Ram on the other hand…

[arctic grove]

You go play cod i am here

[arctic grove]

Its actually garbage. They completely took out all light vehicles

[dapper night]

The Ram has 1/3 Health of a Tank

How does it fit on the Heavy Armor Role

[next sorrel]

why is every single aspect of 2042 wrong

[fervent rose]

the infantry modes need transports without guns

[safe bramble]

Go play with some bitches lmao

[fervent rose]

why are there no quads

[arctic grove]

Oh wait i was referring to Infantry Breakthrough

[arctic grove]

Damn right, we all need to touch grass too

[fervent rose]

Infantry Breakthrough is fun on some sectors and a miserable experience on others

[dapper night]

If we’re talking about vehicle roles then the Ram should be in the IFV cuz it is a IFV not a Tank

[fervent rose]

the gunplay is so 0 skill that for example the green side of Renewal is a death trap

[arctic grove]

Even the LATVS are fine. They are weak and easy to blow up. Even the Hovers.

[dapper stream]

I dm'd you, would you mind answering there?

[copper ice]

Knowing dice, very

[copper ice]

Not when they're camping on a hill with irish

[fervent rose]

nah i respect them not having LATVs/Hovers unless they disable the guns

i just want quads/trucks added to those modes but dice is always doing the bare minimum with the modes in this game

[dapper night]

Honestly it’s very easy to implement and not complicated

[arctic grove]

ALL FAIR ARGUEMENTS

[fervent rose]

i noticed a small but smart change to irish that they must have done recently. you can no longer hop out with aps ready

[dapper night]

Even Battlefield V have its own category for IFV and Mobile AA iirc

[fervent rose]

my aggro irish hop out and instant plop down aps tech has been nerfed

[next onyx]

I wonder about the pre release footage.

Carpo and that have given a go.

[quaint vector]

I'm getting BATTLEFIELD tattoo this weekend..

[next onyx]

Ayo!

[arctic grove]

cool

[hybrid totem]

hm... I think if you crouch and stand up more than 5 times in 10 seconds, you should disconnect

or rather, the game should disconnect you

[chilly jacinth]

the people youre shooting at disconnect

[stable sail]

Honestly Season 6 just needs to be performance pass

"Hey guess what, your CPU is not gonna utilize 99% of the game"

[hybrid totem]

season 6... performance pass... not sure which is more humorous tbh

[elfin coral]

so does anyone have a comprehensive list of complaints against all the helis?

i need to share with another server

to explain to them some things

[arctic grove]

imagine having trouble running large games

[hybrid totem]

all the helis? No, it's really only the nightbird

[arctic grove]

Fuck the Nightbird

[stable sail]

imagine thinking its the computer

when its obviously the game

they didnt even know they had an aiming bug issue until 1.25 years after release

[arctic grove]

wtf

[arctic grove]

what

nothing

[quaint vector]

[arctic grove]

just nice railgun tank play

[arctic grove]

And a firing input bug still in game

[odd yew]

Feels like BF4 with the color scheme

[fervent rose]

i swear if they cancel the game after a season called New Dawn

[arctic grove]

Rather unfortunate the theme never will

[fervent rose]

[odd yew]

[arctic grove]

Origin apparently had the whole year 2 pass thing on the store page for 2042 so

But they could pull a really sneaky move with it and year 2 could literally just be referring to the season 5 battle pass lmao

[stable sail]

idgaf new maps, new guns, none of that

make the performance better

[slow flicker]

ultra settings are a scam

[arctic grove]

I think i was right

when i said its gonna be orange

the color theme

Wohoo

I also wanted orange so

Big W

[keen karma]

Got Irish T1 before the 'buff'

[hybrid totem]

as it always should have been

[random breach]

now I can begin the T1 journey from Sundance all the way to Blasco

[robust vapor]

naw homie the wildcats in my team are just sitting in spawn not hunting aircrafts when we push

[copper ice]

Hooray!

[robust vapor]

my team needs them to move

[mental delta]

Bird sound, kui kui kui

[hybrid totem]

I do think the alleycat aa missile range is kind of absurd

[fervent rose]

you expect this team to produce changes that fast? the thread wasnt even 2 weeks ago

[hybrid totem]

should be like 300m and increase on soflammed targets

oh well

[robust vapor]

if you hate nightbird then don't nerf the wildcat

<@ <@

[sharp marten]

^

[robust vapor]

the range is the one that scares heli mains the most

[arctic grove]

Wildcat and night bird are both unbalanced rn then cuz wildcats have like 600 meters of fuck you go recharge your flares range

[safe bramble]

It doesnt take more than 2 weeks to do basic stat changes

[copper ice]

[fervent rose]

there's a lot more than just stat changes that need to be done to helis

[copper ice]

this is dice

[safe bramble]

Then they could've buffed first, made additions next

Not go radio silence

[copper ice]

you're lucky if one number change gets through 3 months after they decide it

[keen crown]

Is anybody tried to decipher morse code in the teaser ?

[sharp marten]

I fucking love Kevin man this shit is so funny to me

[jovial jay]

They could add a notification whenever a teammate soflam something for better QoL honestly

Like a sound

[safe bramble]

Cant wait for dice to go the bf4 route and everyone drops 2043 for 4 after being tor, lissiled, sph and night bird fucked for the u0th time

[jovial jay]

Sometimes I miss the vehicle my mates soflamed since I didnt know it was soflamed in that direction

[arctic grove]

Bro

[copper ice]

maybe it shouldn't be a railgun then

[arctic grove]

please add velocity

to those things

[copper ice]

does he not understand that makes him look worse

[arctic grove]

snipers are useless when “haha get your head clicked BOOM HEADSHOT XD”

[fervent rose]

maybe battlefield and powerful railgun tanks shouldnt go together

[safe bramble]

Tor is balanced! Wdym one shotting jets 4 seconds in is bad game design?

[copper ice]

yes a railgun shouldn't have bullet drop, but maybe that's a good reason to not put a railgun in the game

[arctic grove]

If it had a console fov slider I’d make the transition back already

[fervent rose]

whoever could have predicted that a railgun that does more damage than mpat shell would create issues

[safe bramble]

Total fps also thinks aps is broken lmao

What a clown

[jovial jay]

Give it longer load time, less armor, slower movement during charge

Blam

[arctic grove]

I don’t know who actually wanted a rail gun anyways besides dice to do a play on bf4 nostalgia

[languid light]

they still have to obey the laws of physics 🤷‍♂️

[fervent rose]

false

example: sundance

[arctic grove]

Me when I accelerate gliding UP

[jovial jay]

That applies when the range is really far away

[arctic grove]

[copper ice]

2042 is the least laws of physics obeying BF

[rich elbow]

If video games consistently adhered to the laws of physics, we would have much fewer fun video games

[copper ice]

and yet we still have no mechs

[jovial jay]

Bf2042 maps are large but not enough for them to have significant drop

[fervent rose]

just seat switch in any air vehicle and tell me there's laws of physics being applied

floatiest bf game ever

[copper ice]

This is why giant pilotable robots with legs are cool, right? Right?

[jovial jay]

[jovial jay]

2142 mechs?

[elfin coral]

make them obey anime physics

Don’t you ever talk shit on our lord and savior you shmuck

you can't lose any braincells if you are trying to say that the railgun tanl isnt broken and your name is "Shotgun enthusiast" which only leads to the assumption that your mental capacities are severely limited

The end

[copper ice]

have this tweet in relation to why tor hasnt been mentioned in the vehicle rebalancing
https://twitter.com/ArmoredKill/status/1661293202559606784

[arctic grove]

I always thought it’d basically be flood zone 2 or something

Or in general not even a weather event but a map affected by a monsoon/other type of water natural disaster

[copper ice]

the tl;dr is that they don't know how to fix it

[jovial jay]

In the exodus trailer there was a flood zone, too bad there isnt a map for it

[lilac dust]

When that tornado comes in at E flag orbital the water goes crazy. If only they took it further with a tsnuami

[copper ice]

[sharp marten]

^

[arctic grove]

The entire exodus scene needed to be a map. Wtf was up with that

[fervent rose]

doesnt even look like finished effects

[arctic grove]

I’m pretty sure it’s in London right?

half flooded city map or something cool like that

[fervent rose]

like theres lighting changes but the water doesnt render

its weird

[sharp marten]

Tbh a flooded map would be pretty cool

[copper ice]

i love sharing exactly the same opinions as the people who balance stuff at dice! I just wish they didn't release it knowing all the issues it has 😄

[lilac dust]

It's fucking hilarious to me how 2042 will end support and we will look back on it knowing that a fucking short film of it's story took place entirely with naval combat and it never made it into the game

[arctic grove]

Oh man

[copper ice]

naval combat has been replaced entirely with hovercraft

[lilac dust]

We have fucking hovercrafts in a battlefield game with ZERO naval maps EL OH EL

[sharp marten]

I wish the wildcat could have some buoyancy and then maybe a flooded map would work

[arctic grove]

2042 had so much world building potential with the maps and that’s why I hate s3 and 4 maps for being clones of each other

There’s nothing that signals that the world is collapsing about them

They’re just fields

[copper ice]

this reads as too genuine i think its really fucking stupid that they released a vehicle they have now acknowledged cannot be balanced through tweaks because it is fundamentally OP

[fervent rose]

when your best option is removal of the feature to balance it.. you fucked up

[copper ice]

thats basically what his tweet is saying

[fervent rose]

you done messed up big time

[arctic grove]

Or the MAV which has a whole card showing it in water

Despite water being like, one puddle on discarded and out of bounds on orbital

[copper ice]

They can't remove it because it's a whole tank and one of the 5 things they actually added to 2042 but it is fundamentally not able to be balanced while still being what it is

Failed at the fucking concept stage and somehow made it to production

[lilac dust]

As cool as the saeason 5 map seems to look. It's still just reused buildings from maps like discarded and stuff, and then more outside terrain we've already seen but now with snow over it..... Sigh

[jovial jay]

Who knows if they'll pull a whole Turning Tide kind of season for 2042

[arctic grove]

I’m definitely sure 2042 had a lot more that just had to be scrapped

[safe bramble]

B-b-but its weak against infantry!!!!
(Infantry cannot enter enemy spawn)

[fervent rose]

it makes me very worried that their set piece show off is 3 medium sized warehouses

thats not a hype map tease

[arctic grove]

[copper ice]

PLEASE A TWO STOREY HOUSE

JUST ONE

I BEG YOU

[lilac dust]

Based on the concept art. They're gonna try and make it look new and fresh with all the graffiti and trees coming out of the buildings but I'm just over it at this point. What is there to forgive when this is the end of support

[fervent rose]

its looking like the weakest new map, but i hope to be wrong

[jovial jay]

3 stack of containers you said?

[copper ice]

I dont think this is end of support because they're still brainstorming tor nerf (its been months, months, months and they have nothing to shard xD)

[safe bramble]

The fact that they acknowledge tor as op but do nothing makes me want to save my inevitable disappointment and replace 2042 with 4 again

[copper ice]

i cant believe there are literally no two storey houses in any 2042 map but 80% of maps have shipping containers

[safe bramble]

Atleast that 40 gig difference will be used properly

[fervent rose]

well theres 3 months left

[arctic grove]

I haven’t seen much about the new map but in relation to weak maps, I’ve barely had fun playing flashpoint, probably have like 4 or so hrs on it, just breakthrough when there was nothing else the game would let me play

[fervent rose]

3 more patches to fix the tor surely

[copper ice]

thats enough time for half a nerf

[arctic grove]

Surely it will be semi more enjoyable than that

[lilac dust]

I feel like all the recent feedback surveys and stuff are going to be implemented fully by the time season 5 ends, and any new feedback surveys during season 5 will just be for the next battlefield game.... but PLEASE GOD LET ME BE WRONG lol

[jovial jay]

Well manifest got some buildingd

[copper ice]

maybe they'll make it so you have to charge tor railgun through tank movement, so tors now have to 360 before they noscope you

[jovial jay]

But that map stinks like rotten shark in a hot summer with those crane snipers

[arctic grove]

Last night I was thinking about how breakthrough map boundaries are way too big and permissive, plus attacker vehicle and ticket limits don’t make anything feel like there’s a consistent frontline, but just “throw yourselves at this objective till you capture it”. No thinking, unpredictable in favor of attackers

[fervent rose]

fixing map boundaries in breakthrough would be a big QOL change

[arctic grove]

Orbital is one of the worst offenders with breakthrough despite being my favorite map because attackers set beacons up inside the crawlway rocket construction building and just fucking shoot down at defenders

[fervent rose]

defenders can barely move up like 20m from their point without hitting the boundaries. and the maps are all incredibly wide for flanking

[arctic grove]

No manifest criticism allowed

[jovial jay]

[lilac dust]

Fucking hilarious that all the skyscrapers in this game have a ground floor and a roof. I guess in 2042 that's how they built their buildings.... No flloors in the middle

[jovial jay]

Spawn beacon?

[arctic grove]

Yea

[jovial jay]

I usually go casper and zap their stuff whenever that happen

[copper ice]

I HATE IT SO MUCH

[arctic grove]

They just place them again

[lilac dust]

I know they said in a dev interview before the game came out that it was intentional to not include more floors in skyscrapers.... but c'mon give us ONE SINGLE EXTRA FLOOR at least lol

[jovial jay]

Zap it again

[copper ice]

Was it intentional to avoid houses entirely

[fervent rose]

the construction building is some of the worst fps design/layout ive ever seen

[copper ice]

Is it some kind of beef with stairs

Are you afraid of staircases

Is it because 128p wont fit in a HOUSE

[lilac dust]

lol

[copper ice]

I hate 128p they have stolen rotterdam from me

the one house in the middle of that obj on the snow map

marita

im howling

[lilac dust]

2042 is so outside centric... Just give us more interiors to play in man

[copper ice]

was it intentional to release the tor knowing they couldn't balance it

or did they forget to pay the balance guy until afterwards

like, now they've acknowledged it's fundamentally OP, why did you not know this before you released it

you made the fucking stats

[fervent rose]

seems like bf is a dumb op toy simulator recently

[arctic grove]

Definitely

I like my vehicle maps but I wish there was at least one infantry oriented map where I don’t have to put too much effort into finding enemies

[copper ice]

either you didn't think it would be OP (in which case fire yourself and hire me I'll do it for free)
or you didn't CARE that it would be OP because look we added railgun!!! tank!!! Buy Skins Buy Skins Now

it SUCKS

and theres no houses to hide from tanks from

there are just giant buildings so large the vehicles fit INSIDE THEM

[arctic grove]

That one time a fucking MAV got inside the exposure control center in my game

[fervent rose]

exposure is the worst for that

[copper ice]

oh boy lets assault this inside obj thank god i only have to deal with 900 explosives or the complete lack of explosives due to irish- AHH RAM INSIDE

it is torture

[fervent rose]

that map just sucks so much with ground vehicles. i wish they'd take most of them out on breakthrough and go back to the old layout

[copper ice]

agony i tell you

[sharp marten]

A few extra floors would be nice for some CQC

[dapper night]

Since the EBLC-Ram is on the Heavy Armor Section does this mean they’ll increase the vehicle count of the Heavy Armor? Don’t tell that that it’s still 2 on 128 player conquest after this update cuz it sucks

Now Instead of having 2 Tanks, 1 IFV and 1 Mobile AA it’s just 1 Tank, 1 IFV and 1 Mobile AA. Bruh 💀

[acoustic seal]

don't expect smart things out of this company, they made a blog post about not using transport vehicles as farm machines and gave them more options to farm infantry

jeep case cannon, bolte 50mm cannon, etc etc

thermals

[copper ice]

dont worry the jeep is going to be shooting peanuts with the feedback they got

[dapper night]

I mean I couldn’t care for thermals because of the other things you’ve mentioned

[copper ice]

you think a vehicle shotgun is going to be good in the game where shotguns are fucking ass?

[fervent rose]

the only new good LATV option will the case rounds

[copper ice]

its gonna be like a mounted 880

[fervent rose]

and you cant park a latv backwards 250m away and be effective with CASE

thats a fix

[copper ice]

or its gonna be a mounted 12m and everyone is fucked but its still CLOSE range

[dapper night]

Man the Vehicle Roles in this game especially the after this update is wack

[copper ice]

I'm ok with that

[dapper night]

IFV on a Heavy Armor Section? Hello

[acoustic seal]

the guy in charge of vehicles needs a new job

[copper ice]

He's gonna get one, look at this tweet https://twitter.com/ArmoredKill/status/1661293202559606784

[dapper night]

Again BF3 and 4 already perfect the vehicle role and categorization why not follow it in the first place?

[copper ice]

Imagine being the guy that has to explain that he can't nerf the TOR because it's fundamentally OP

[dapper night]

Also Transport Heli having explosive weapons in the first place

And TOR also

[copper ice]

His job security is on the thinnest of ice

[dapper night]

Even 2142 that is set in the future doesn’t have a vehicle similar to TOR

[copper ice]

I really really like that they haven't confirmed removing explosives from transport heli

[dapper night]

Since the devs knew that putting a railgun tank will be unbalanced

[elfin coral]

bring back battlepickups

[copper ice]

giving a vehicle higher velocity than any weapon in the entire game is only good if it shoots peanuts

[acoustic seal]

thank god the game is getting cancelled because i can't take much more of this

[copper ice]

it also happens to shoot the highest damage shots of anything in the game

[next sorrel]

remember when they made a PSA video that grenade spam is not effective in bad company 2? lol

[copper ice]

fundamentally this doesn't work

the fucking balance guy has now said flat out this doesn't work

so he has to convince them to overhaul it so we can get something that actually works

which is not going to happen

[arctic grove]

HOT TAKE: Rondezvous 1942 is GOAT mode
