battlefield-2042

[solar tinsel]

I remember on 2142's launch people bashing it for being a "BF2 reskin" yet that game did... INCREDIBLE things and is looked back on fondly. Heck we all want a 2142 remake now haha

[hard plume]

It’s what we do best

[strong snow]

Was buddy I think

[royal swan]

Talking about the bitch about everything, I know those people

[rich elbow]

I didn't work on it but whenever I did get around to playing it I felt that it was really quite good

[solar tinsel]

yeah. its tough to weed out the genuine feedback from just the general complaints without merit

[royal swan]

They hate everything that is done the smart way, they want it the hard way

[hard plume]

It was fine, I didn’t hate it or love it but it scratched my Star Wars itch

[solar tinsel]

speaking of space, I'd be totally down for a Battlefield 2242 where its like, literally spacecraft, FAR future stuff. Each map is a different planet

[rich elbow]

Personally I prefer SW games that focus less on the latest 3 movies lol

[hard plume]

Ooooo that’s be fun, but people would bitch it’s not battlefield

[strong snow]

The latest 3 we’re the worst things I’ve ever watched

[hard plume]

We don’t talk about those….

[solar tinsel]

People would, but if they kept the class system and the core team and vehicle mechanics, it would feel like BF to me

[strong snow]

7 was ok but 8 and 9 were horrible

[rich elbow]

Best scenes were in Ireland, of course

no even being bias

[strong snow]

Agreed

[solar tinsel]

[OBI-WAN HAS DISCONNECTED FROM SERVER]
Vader: "Rage quitter"

[balmy umbra]

[rich elbow]

Gonna try take a boat out there this year, to the skelligs

[hard plume]

Thank youu, so many people the 7th, and yes it had problems but I really liked it

[warm crater]

If dice keeps on trying to get a new audience idrc if battlefield fails anymore

[solar tinsel]

7th was good, but was basically 4 😆

[strong snow]

The only thing that made 7 good was Han Solo

[plucky basin]

Bf4

[strong snow]

You’d need to book a year in advance, crazy waiting lists.

[solar tinsel]

Even if we don't get a S6, I could see DICE releasing a map port or something. DICE has been known to drop some post-post-launch goodies every so often

[balmy umbra]

I thought it was J J abrams since Rian johnson ruined the other 2

[solar tinsel]

I'm just gonna throw out a BF2 map as a suggestion please 🙂

[rich elbow]

I was thinking of just asking a farmer lmfao

[balmy umbra]

Dalian Plant

[solar tinsel]

I'd love that one. I also really appreciate what DICE did with the loading theme of Dragon Valley's remake in BF4. So tasteful

which by the way if you haven't seen this yet, it's a relatively new upload - DICE should just license this cover if they do another CN BF2 map remake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD0rUm-ZZXA

[strong snow]

Don’t think you can, the waters are restricted to the boats that you can book as they work with the management of the island itself to avoid overcrowding, bunch of Americans starting destroying the ancient builds so they lowered the capacity of the island. Sometimes if your lucky you might see the Irish navy lol that’s how serious they are.

[rich elbow]

jesus things have gotten very strict since i left home

[strong snow]

Health and safely lad

[rich elbow]

I'd say a large part of it is the money, too

165euro per person I seen them charge

[vocal adder]

It wasn't bad it was fun just some bugs were annoying

[strong snow]

Funny thing is the never charged Disney a single euro for Star Wars.

[vocal adder]

and the way progression worked was oof

[strong snow]

They*

[rich elbow]

Wouldn't be like the irish to simp for large corporations now would it?

[vocal adder]

Wish it was still being supported tbh

[strong snow]

Exactly

Go to west cork where im from, much better than does Kerry robbers.

[rich elbow]

Scib is nice

been down that way a few times

im from clare so not far

[bronze sand]

Just finished the battle pass 😕

[strong snow]

Alahies, Castletownbere area is nice.

[rich elbow]

no shortage of nice places around the country

[vocal adder]

Season 5 wouldn't we need to pay that one separate now

[strong snow]

Dublin 🤮

[solar tinsel]

I believe so

[strong snow]

Yep

[solar tinsel]

but you could use BFC if you've saved some up from this pass

well, assuming you can use BFC (again)

[strong snow]

How much BFC is it?

[vocal adder]

I think i have 1.1k coins

[upbeat sand]

Gav have you been to the ikea museum

[solar tinsel]

i believe it's 1,000 usually

[rich elbow]

I have not, where is it?

[balmy umbra]

Ìt had minor problems, but the main problem had to do with the contents inside the loot boxes.

[royal swan]

Same, the battlepass gives you enough to get the next pass

Glad I saved mine

[balmy umbra]

The main problem was that the cards inside those lootboxes gave you better stats ingame then other people had

AOE of a thermal det being bigger (epic grade) vs everyone else having smaller AOE with it

those kind of things.

[rich elbow]

From a UI perspective, is there anything you guys feel you miss in the Battle Pass? Or would like?

Quality of life things

[royal swan]

There is always a free battlepass

Less rewards but you still get the content

[upbeat sand]

Almhult

[royal swan]

If you saved up the boins from the seasons you can get the next premium

But the ultimate edition is supposed to be on 4 seasons

[rich elbow]

ive never been to Småland

[royal swan]

You wasted your boins didn't you

[wide shore]

I wish I could properly see all active/unlocked weeklies in the pause screen instead of just like 5. Mainly cause if a new week starts, and you still have a challenge or two from last week, you’re likely completing a lot of the new challenges and you can’t see the progress on the old ones unless you open the battlepass section. And that’s IMO a lot to do mid-game.

[upbeat sand]

Wack

[rich elbow]

i lied ive been to jonkoping

[rich elbow]

you can see them all by going to the weekly missions screen, no?

[royal swan]

You're just paying with the boins you got for free

[upbeat sand]

[vocal adder]

Well allowing people to buy past battle passes what halo infinite does would be a lovely start haha

[royal swan]

I suggest you wait on last season

[rich elbow]

That has nothing to do with the UI I'm afraid haha

[upbeat sand]

Ea?
Letting people get past battlepass content

Never

[wide shore]

You can. But it’s not very quick or efficient. What if there was a system that allowed you to pin challenges that are maybe a little harder that you want to accomplish. That way it either sticks on screen, or has priority over the list in the pause menu.

[rich elbow]

I can totally see a pinning system being something useful in the pause menu. But showing all the active/available weekly missions in the pause menu...I'm not sure, that's a loooot of info

[wide shore]

Yeah, that’s fair.

[royal swan]

Oh boy I can imagine the bugs the new camera shake is going to cause

[wide shore]

That’s honestly my only real UI complaint.

[next onyx]

Reminds me. I would love it if sights were categorised like in bf4.

Make it less messy and give us more scopes to use.

[solar tinsel]

Honestly Battle Pass/Missions UI is pretty good already! I guess there could be an argument for a little pop-up "milestone in progress" whenever you hit key milestones of certain objectives, to help reinforce what you're doing is counting towards a mission without needing to manually check.

For example, for a "Revive 50 teammates" you see a short pop-up with counter when you hit your first revive, and then at every 10, and then one final one on completion.

Kind of like a pop-up HUD from singleplayer games when going for objectives in an open world game. Not everyone would like that I suppose, so the juice may not be worth the squeeze. But some may!

[next onyx]

Remind us every 25% benchmark.

[silent snow]

this and the ability to pin specific missions would be nice

[next onyx]

2 4 6 8 10.

[vocal adder]

Oh gav you talking about the battle pass UI or just the whole general UI in the menus and that

[wide shore]

I really like that idea

[vocal adder]

I might of read your question wrong you know haha

[royal swan]

Oh make up pin assignments so we can track our progress when playing

[lament plank]

When can we have a working flag cap UI? Routinely while on PC my flag cap UI that is supposed to populate in middle of screen with numbers of allies/enemies on a point doesn’t even appear. I have to manually go look at the flag to even see how close we are to capping. It’s been broken for months. Even a game repair did nothing.

[rich elbow]

Yeah I’ve thought about this before, adding some form of update to the player in-round as they progress some weekly missions. The tricky part here is finding some screen real estate to fit that on the HUD because space is SO valuable there.

[royal swan]

Like if we want to get a vault weapon we can ping the assignment to watch the progress instead of going into collection midgame

[wide shore]

Oh yeah the vault weapon unlock progression is a pain

Forgot about that

[upbeat sand]

I wonder if the Emr bolt gets fixed in S5

[rich elbow]

I have no insight on this at the moment to be honest. I don’t work with it, but have you given feedback/filed a bug on it and gotten any info?

[royal swan]

It gets a rework

[solar tinsel]

Totally haha. I guess now that kill-feed information is relegated to top-right, perhaps it could temporarily override the objective feed in the bottom left above the minimap? Personally, I don't look at that log much

[upbeat sand]

That's just gol magnum and ARs

[royal swan]

Oh not the bolte

[strong snow]

@rich elbow isn’t the UI a big problem with the frostbite engine? For optimisation etc.

[upbeat sand]

?

[lament plank]

Nope. I’ll have to investigate more

[royal swan]

I thought you said bolte (the vehicle getting a rework)

[upbeat sand]

Wack

[vocal adder]

I wish the game UI was like battlefield V tbh

[robust vapor]

Benelli M2 SP for new shotgun

[vocal adder]

Battlefield 2042 UI is very cluttered

[royal swan]

@rich elbow pinning assignments and having them in view when playing the game and progressing it instead of going into the menu midgame, is that your area of work or not.

[rich elbow]

I’ll have a think about it, but no guarantees of course

[upbeat sand]

You could try going into the settings and changing the UI sizes

[solar tinsel]

Of course. Like I said, it may not even be worth it if only 20% of players would want it. Only thing I could think of though. Like I said, it's in pretty good shape already! for BP UI specifically

[rich elbow]

Pretty loaded question but UI is a beast in Battlefield in general. You’d be surprised how much work goes into it. I can’t really comment on much more than that though!

[rich elbow]

Defo heard this feedback a number of times thank you 🙏🏻

[solar tinsel]

nope, it used to be in the bottom left along with the objective feed

Older games had it top right (or top left)

[royal swan]

Oh it's a popular one? Could expect that in the future then

[solar tinsel]

S4 it switched to the top

[solar tinsel]

yeah would be cool! Even if it doesnt make sense for 2042, for the next game!

[warm crater]

I heard the tank UI during building cut fps in half

[rich elbow]

Anyway gonna play some rocket league but if you have UI feedback feel free to hit up my DM’s on Twitter (@GavMakesGames)

[solar tinsel]

It's a good reinforcer of "oh, this is something that helps me progress" without needing to manually check

[upbeat sand]

1 thing is the damage numbers is kinda jarring for it to just pop up with no pop up before hand

I hope there will be some kind of small animation to slide it in or an add up like in bfv

Crap I am typing this at the moment your playing rocket league

[vocal adder]

I generally feel like the whole UI needs changing i'm not fan of it tbh

[solar tinsel]

the general UI has actually changed a bit throughout the seasons, generally for the better each time. The readability wasnt great early on

lower contrast elements

[upbeat sand]

The Ui is pretty nice ya it's not the best but it definitely works well

If your having problems with the ui clutter you could minimise it by changing it in the settings

[vocal adder]

Like i'm not talking about ingame hud i mean like the menus and that

its very cluttered and just annoying to navigate tbh

[solar tinsel]

I think its fine

No menu is really perfect, especially with how many settings games need now

[arctic grove]

It's alright

[strong snow]

Haha understandable np.

[scarlet shard]

any information about the future of BF2042?

[strong snow]

Anyone know this bug I got? My W key just stops working in 2042 and no other game

[solar tinsel]

its very rare I see a game menu and go "wow this is the best game menu ever"

[scarlet shard]

Season6? Year2?

[solar tinsel]

Only thing confirmed is Season 5

S6 or a Y2 have not been announced

[fierce gull]

man this game gonna go to shit if Y2 is not happening

[solar tinsel]

Entering speculation territory, I don;'t think a full Y2 will happen. If so, I think EA would have marketed a Year 2 pass and started selling that now

[scarlet shard]

If no S6, means BF2042, the game that cause BFV stop update, is even worse than BFV

[solar tinsel]

keep in mind, no Y2 or no S6 doesn't necessarily mean no updates either

[balmy umbra]

All we can do is wait and see

[solar tinsel]

and DICE has had a history of post-post-launch content, like dropping a one off map or something after seasons end

[balmy umbra]

If it happens that S6 won't come. so be it. If S6 does come. So be it 😂

[solar tinsel]

totally

I also think people's enjoyment of S5 doesn't have to hinge on future seasons coming or not

[balmy umbra]

Best comment a player can ever say regarding to any situation. So be it/It is what it is

[solar tinsel]

que sera sera

[scarlet shard]

I think we need official exact information more than ever

[balmy umbra]

Whatever the Dev team will do. If the next upcoming game is more my thing, I will support em. It's not like people deserve to get shunned after 1 not so great launch

Except sergey titov. that guys a c%nt

[solar tinsel]

My point is, people can still enjoy S5 without knowing the future

There are a lot of business reasons why EA would not communicate that now, and we need to be realistic of that

[scarlet shard]

If Dice still Silent about the things after S5, until S5 over, that shall means there are no other seasons and other maps other weapons

[solar tinsel]

If EA said "S5 is the last season!" then less people would buy the Elite Edition potentially

so people need to be savvy and mindful of the positioning here, thats all

that said, if you already own 2042, you can enjoy S5 without knowing if there is more coming later

[strong snow]

Where can I check 2042 stats?

[vocal adder]

I mean just because there's no more files not showing in the API doesn't mean season 6 aint coming

[scarlet shard]

I feel that if we don't know if there will be new updates in the future, topping up and buying packs means a risk, if the game have possibility of comes to an abrupt end, the value for money of packs will be infinitely reduced.

If I know there will be something on future, I will buy packs peace of mind

Right? If the game going on for just another HALF, not a season, it will be much better for me.

btw I brought Season 3 mid event packs, I want more military styled

[balmy umbra]

From a EA perspective. I can get why they wouldn't want to have something leaked or announced. Cause they want to get as much sales from the latest game

If everyone knew a year in advance that a new BF is in the making a lot of people probably wouldn't get it OR buy it very very cheap on key websites

[solar tinsel]

yup thats basically it

thats just general smart business strategy too

[calm bison]

Just got a mastery dog tag for throwing knives in BFV

[scarlet shard]

But the original pricing of Battlefield 2042 was outright unworthy, people already want only buy it very cheap on Steam, Epic or something without know there is a new BF under developing.

[solar tinsel]

ultimately, buying something gets you the thing itself as advertised, not the promise of something more - so people just need to realize that

if someone doesnt like what theyre getting for X price right now, then they shouldnt change their decision based on the potential for something in the future that isnt guaranteed

[scarlet shard]

True, the content of BF2042 does not go beyond the advertising content

I'm looking forward to its follow-up operation because it's an online game

[vale barn]

He is talking real facts tho

[royal swan]

That is just what he does

Bitches

[scarlet shard]

yep, I am totally agree with Ender

[vale barn]

Bro just uses a toxic language to make points

[royal swan]

I wouldn't totally agree

[vale barn]

And he is probably better than you in the game uehe

[royal swan]

That's a cope lmao

[vale barn]

Some People surely do

[scarlet shard]

BF2042 need more contents, true, that is Ender's point, we should agree with

[rocky ether]

wish people whoudl stop lieing about there server type

[vale barn]

Nah

[royal swan]

He's right on gun balance, vehicle balance, input delay, and content, everything else is a mixed bag

[balmy umbra]

I wished to see more destruction tbh. Ever since BF Bad company 2 I've been a sucker for building collapsing

[scarlet shard]

His video titles are too misleading, also true

[royal swan]

Oh yeah, he does alot of click bait shit

[vale barn]

Dude u a hater?

[balmy umbra]

I wasted time sending tanks through buildings in bad company 2 just because of that. Didn't even shoot people, just went kool-aid guy on buildings

[royal swan]

Ok bud

[vale barn]

Same actually

[scarlet shard]

sorry, my English isn't well, I read better than write.

[royal swan]

I hate when he starts whining about how other people play

[vale barn]

My g, u all good🐟🍤

[scarlet shard]

Ahh, that is fine, thanks.

[ebon pilot]

Is anyone in-game 2042 currently?

[livid swift]

ye

[ebon pilot]

im in-bed

[patent path]

I'm at a wedding

[scarlet shard]

I am Chinese, and Chinese kids are required to learn a foreign language, and most of us learned English. So there could be some China mainland users in the community too.
Grammar issues are a big problem for us.

I can launch the game now

[next isle]

What level are you in-game and what level does https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf2042 say you are?

[livid swift]

it's accurate for me, S055 ingame and on the tracker

[chilly jacinth]

its accurate for me too

[scarlet shard]

Do you need my feedback?

[scarlet shard]

Do you need my feedback?

[next isle]

Sure

Interesting that it's accurate for some

If it's accurate for you, when did you start playing?

Also please send your tracker link

Doing research

[chilly jacinth]

do you mean like when today

[next isle]

First time you played 2042

[scarlet shard]

In-game is S058 ,and tracker is level 145 (S046)

[chilly jacinth]

launch i believe

[livid swift]

since launch here

[next isle]

Username?

[scarlet shard]

PingZiYu, on Origin

[ebon pilot]

hmm
first played in the open beta (or the pre-launch)

[livid swift]

actually, I remember checking the tracker like a month ago when I was around S020 and it still showed like S005 or something. Now it's accurate though

[strong snow]

Thank you

[next isle]

thanks

[tepid flax]

I do hope Dice and EA don’t abandon this game after S5

Game may have been quite bad at launch but credit where credit is due to Dice for trying to fix their mistakes

[naive quiver]

I’m proud of myself 1.5kd in breakthrough mode everyday

[chilly jacinth]

how often does the tracker update?

[dense nexus]

how's the game?

[next isle]

Does the in-game stats page show XP?

[dense nexus]

is it full of cheaters too?

does it have a really annoying issue?

like camper epidemic etc.?

[chilly jacinth]

it doesnt show xp

actually wait the overview page does

[next isle]

Total XP, specific XP?

[chilly jacinth]

earned this level and how much xp to next level

[scarlet shard]

Yeah, I hope the game keep going on after S5 too.

[pine roost]

Otherwise there will be a massive downtime before the next title

I can’t see any possibility at all that a new title will come out this year. There simply wouldn’t be enough time to incorporate the feedback from this one. They’ll definitely do a Christmas sale so at the very earliest it’ll be November ish of 2024

[sick eagle]

why tf is there a server with 2693004314 ping

[dense nexus]

is this game even worth buying

[scarlet shard]

That is just bug, just join the server.

[sick eagle]

no

[jade sigil]

@sick eagle it's on mars

just join the server i did and it was fine lol

[sick eagle]

Martians playing 2042?

[jade sigil]

i sure hope not lol

[rose fiber]

Unless there'd be sale for 10$, I'd just wait for next title at this time

[prime ember]

they will never incorporate a feedback , after we just heard from the ceo at the investment call , " Battlefieldf will come back in an entirely new way"

[jade sigil]

next title could be years lol

[pine roost]

I didn’t listen in on the call, I just assume everything they say is pure investor speak with no real value

They aren’t going to say ‘it’s coming back exactly in the same way!’ Are they

[sick eagle]

2025 probably

[pine roost]

But if they have put this much effort into gathering feedback for this game and fail to implement it in the next one, that’s on them

[jade sigil]

agreed spinier

[rose fiber]

I would say end of 2024 is possible

[jade sigil]

i go bck and play BF4 a lot lately

[prime ember]

you are right , but i am truly feeling like they are going to chase trends again and make a game that has nothing to do with battlefield , at this moment i would not even be surprised if the next bf doesnt have vehicles , in a try to stole something of cod's bread , smh

[jade sigil]

if they ever remaster it, it it would flop and thats my all time favorite video game

[pine roost]

At this point I dread to think about how they can possibly chase even more trends but I want to maintain the fraction of hope that I have left over that something might change

[tribal violet]

The game is on sale today (75% off), is it worth it? 👀

[sharp marten]

Absolutely

[rose fiber]

I doubt they'd dare to remaster entire game, it'd be clear big comparison of quality of old and new title. I'm pretty sure this is the same reason MW2 only got remaster of singleplayer and not multiplayer

[sick eagle]

which version

[tribal violet]

2042

[sick eagle]

normal or elite

[pine roost]

Don’t bother with elite

It’s like £40 more for content you get for free

[kindred flint]

54-12, 20 caps, 14 revives 55 resupply jesus christ team can you help a bit

over 720 kills pkp now..

[prime ember]

well that is clearly their last chance , its either a chasing trend game again and in this case the franchise will follow the medal of honor way , or they will be trying to make a god sake authentic bf title that if its properly finished at launch may save the franchise , at this very moment EA has glowing eyes for the first option

[floral mica]

Hello folks,
I haven't kept up with this game in around 3 game seasons worth of time, is it still a "unique" hero shooter clone wars?

[pine roost]

I can’t fathom how anyone there would consider making something else that relies on trend chasing. Every attempt so far to do so has failed

It is possible to mix up what’s popular and make something unique, but thus far these attempts have just had too great of an impact on the overall gameplay to make it rather unsatisfying to play

From an authenticity perspective and pure gameplay perspective

[prime ember]

for me bf 1 was truly unique , and somehow ,i have no idea why , but it did well , can you imagine ?

[pine roost]

Like the ‘hero’ abilities just ruined most infantry interactions to the point where almost all of them have been nerfed to irrelevance. The design philosophy of ‘let everyone use anything without restriction’ ruins any sense of consistency, balance and cohesiveness. Those are the gameplay aspects but then of course you’ve got the whole ‘clone wars’ thing the person above described

While I do appreciate some good set pieces and atmosphere, it takes a backseat to gameplay for me

[prime ember]

for me the game rn could be a decent replacement until the next one comes out , for sure only if it is not canceled , i couldnt care less if the game is canceled after s5

[pine roost]

This season update brings with it some changes that people have been asking for since launch, and I feel it will change up the game enough to make it more enjoyable

[humble helm]

I couldnt care if it were cancelled a month after launch tbh

[pine roost]

At this point if it’s in a decent state by the end I’ll be content

It’s already had huge improvements that I really do appreciate

[arctic grove]

is 2042 fun for newer battlefield players? i only ever played bf4

never touched the series much

[stable pecan]

$15 now if ur interested

[naive quiver]

$15 is worth

[rose fiber]

Just my personal opinion but the movement speed is to fast and turret rotation took the fun out of tanks for me

[reef cedar]

definitely

[arctic grove]

hows the experience of it

[pine roost]

I’d say this is probably one of the harder bfs to get into if you haven’t played them prior

[reef cedar]

that's battlefield, go play enlisted or hell let loose for a walking sim

[pine roost]

So many angles to check, very little consistency and readability and of course the larger player counts only multiply that

[livid swift]

playing the daily 128p rush mode on Noshar Canals...and we have no boats to attack with. BRUH

[rose fiber]

Wdym that's battlefield, no previous BF had as fast running speed as this one, heck even Warzone is slower

[pine roost]

But I’m not new to bf so I can’t really say what it’s like starting out

[arctic grove]

is 2042 a game where you gotta no-life the grind? for the skins and shit

[pine roost]

No

You get the functional gear items in a matter of minutes since they just need challenges

The most grindy part is levelling your account to 100 to get through the base game progression, then the optional tier 1 stuff

[reef cedar]

idc abt skins personally but attachments can take some time, just use AI games for those

[radiant prism]

T1 can be a bit of a grind but it’s just kills

[arctic grove]

is the game skill based matches or am i gonna be fighting 10.0 kdr demons all the time

[ebon pilot]

It's very easy to get into if you played a lot of Titanfall or similar movement shooters

[radiant prism]

There’s no SBMM

[pine roost]

There’s no SBMM due to the player counts

[fervent rose]

theres never been sbmm in battlefield

[arctic grove]

then gamemode would you all suggest i start with when i get it

to get ahang of it

[pine roost]

But that doesn’t really matter since there are so many ways to play

[radiant prism]

Matches are generally large enough since it’s 32v32 or 64v64 most of the time that you’ll generally get a bit of everything

[pine roost]

Breakthrough I suppose?

[reef cedar]

either way you'll encounter some 10kdr kids

[fervent rose]

if you're absolutely brand new?

play bots

[radiant prism]

Conquest is probably the classic mode, but if you want something faster paced breakthrough

[pine roost]

Oh yeah I forgot about bots existing

Decent idea

[fervent rose]

like do you play fps regularly? you can skip bots

but idk

[trim sequoia]

So I hear they are taking the guns off the hind? 🫠☹️

[radiant prism]

Bots can be boring though

[pine roost]

Not yet

[radiant prism]

MP matches are much more fun

[reef cedar]

no guns on transports anymore?

[radiant prism]

Since the AI kinda sucks

[pine roost]

They are keeping guns on transports for the time being

[radiant prism]

It’s not the worst but it gets repetitive

[fervent rose]

well yea they are bots. but for a new player learning basics its good

[gilded wind]

This. Choose solo/co-op breakthrough or conquest, easy bots, and get a feel for the game cus there's a lot more shit going on than in most shooters. Plus you'll unlock attachments and shit to make MP easier

[radiant prism]

Ye

[reef cedar]

oh sick

[radiant prism]

Just don’t let it turn you off from the game lol

Like don’t play a bot match and go wow this is boring and never touch MP

[drowsy shuttle]

some yes, others are easy.

[radiant prism]

Because it’s honestly a different experience

[trim sequoia]

Good! They’ve been nerfing the hind into the ground, I think taking the guns would destroy it

[fervent rose]

also the bot ai is just like turned off on half the modes. its cool how much they rush you if you set up a tdm match where you're alone vs a large group of bots

[radiant prism]

But bots are great for getting the hang of vehicles for example

[radiant prism]

I mean I’ve done 32v32 bots on rush before which was decently fun for plinking but the fact that they’re AI does stand out a bit

Idk I’m biased against the AI lol

[pine roost]

The upcoming aa buff will definitely make it less prevalent. That alongside the health nerfs are why they are just monitoring it now for the time being to decide if further action needs to be taken in the future

[fervent rose]

no i mean you cant have ai allies either

1vX and the ai rushes you

[reef cedar]

if they gave bots specialists that would make AI better, much more enjoyable from going 150+ kills a match in AI to maybe 5 kills a match in MP

[scarlet shard]

For me, yes.

[fervent rose]

and it doesnt work on Rush, only tdm

[radiant prism]

Ah ok

[drowsy shuttle]

you guys already changed the BF icon on the channel? season 5 isn't out yet :p

[radiant prism]

Yeah but is soon :)

[trim sequoia]

They need to buff other helis, to compete with hind I think, more so the stealth and attack, especially the attack chopper, needs some explosives for passenger maybe

[scarlet shard]

only 1 week

[gilded wind]

Does that work and allow for lvl 1-12 mastery? (for attachments)

[trim sequoia]

What are they buffing about the AA

[pine roost]

They’ll most likely be making changes to them soon seeing as the attack heli feedback session only just ended

[prime ember]

same , but they cannot repeat this , the hype for 2042 was so big , even if the game had some flaws it could have done more than decent , something similar to mw2 , but now they screwed themselves , the next bf will not generate half the hype 2042 did , and we will not see anymore comments like "this will be a cod killer" but we will see " dont fall again for this scumy company again" , and the flaws of the next game will not at all be forgiven , every single aspect will be harshly attacked . And somehow they have to manage to make the perfect game . Cancelling bf 2042 will only make things worse , 0 trust from me personally , i will not watch a single trailer of the game . In conclusion , even if the game is good ,the hype will be so small to make it acctually sell

[vapid goblet]

New season looks fine as hell

[pine roost]

It gets its own slot, while restricting its cannons to purely AA. Which is a substantial buff

[fervent rose]

i cant remember if its too customized for attachment grinding

their portal rules are so weird

[gilded wind]

Yeah

[hybrid totem]

this is one of those times that it's not actually a buff, it's just preventing the players from self-nerfing

[trim sequoia]

Oh that’s smart for the AA

[fervent rose]

the wildcat is also getting a new, better AA cannon

[pine roost]

It definitely won’t garner as much hype at launch, I’ll be as hesitant as possible and will wait until several weeks after launch before considering getting it but I still hope it will do something’s right

[radiant prism]

Could be a good hind counter

[pine roost]

I’d call it a ‘passive buff’. Not necessarily a numbers increase but external changes make it stronger. Or in this case more often actually on the battlefield which is a buff to overall anti air capabilities

[radiant prism]

People need to rely more on dumb fire weapons anyways

[hybrid totem]

but.. but.. the future

[pine roost]

Although I’m curious how 5mm will make these cannons much better

[radiant prism]

Like you can’t kill helis? Well yeah you’re using the weapon system that takes forever to use and tells the target exactly when and where you’re shooting at them

[prime ember]

you know , even if the majority of us didnt like the specialist thing , we gaved it a chance , no way this will be tolorated again

[pine roost]

https://tenor.com/view/future-squidward-spongebob-gif-4767609

[dusk falcon]

itll definetely slow down the fire rate but have more of a punch

ud say it will do about 2+ damage per shot

[fervent rose]

the recoilless also doesnt really do anything but annoy a decent hind pilot

[dusk falcon]

and it fires fast

[fervent rose]

and i'm out of missiles before it dies

[radiant prism]

I’d still take a recoilless over a Stinger

[fervent rose]

defense needs ammo boxes like bfv

[pine roost]

Lock on rockets can be cancelled by flares, flares don’t stop dumbfires. I don’t get why they wouldn’t consider them still

[fervent rose]

or ammo crate needs a rework

[radiant prism]

It hits harder, is harder to counter, and more versatile

[trim sequoia]

Do you mean health needs of the hind?

[radiant prism]

And also has lock-on capability in tandem with Soflam or rao

[pine roost]

They did say actually that they planned to do this, but that might have been abandoned

[pine roost]

I meant to say nerfs, but yes

[fervent rose]

they're probably gonna cut the cooldown by 3 seconds and call it a day

[dusk falcon]

tell me if this is a bad idea

they should add an RNG system where the rocket bypasses the flares

[radiant prism]

I wish people realized how easy it is to hit helis with a recoilless

Considering how stupid fast it’s velocity is

[arctic grove]

BETA

[calm bison]

God BF4 sucks nowadays

[arctic grove]

bf2042 beta

It was fucking horrible

[dusk falcon]

damn that was a thing

[pine roost]

Nah, dying to random chance is never fun

[radiant prism]

It’s never fun to die to something where you feel like there’s nothing you could’ve possibly done

That’s where a lot of transport death frustration comes from

To put that back on the hind wouldn’t fix much

[pine roost]

There should be a direct reason for you dying to something. If the reason for you dying is ‘the game decided it shall be this way’, then that’s bad

[fervent rose]

i point at the TOR and the Hind here

[radiant prism]

Yup

[arctic grove]

Ya all not ready for when I Get rocket pods on the SU-57 and the F-35

[fervent rose]

really fun experience dying to these

[arctic grove]

I AM GONNA BE RAINING DEATH

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[radiant prism]

inb4 wildcat buff

[pine roost]

If they revert the yaw changes to jets I’ll be pleased

[arctic grove]

if they fix the in-cock sens i'll be very pleased

[dusk falcon]

exactly,bf3 portal jets with rocket pods are great against infantry, if they ass those same pods,i expect jet world records to be broken again

[arctic grove]

Omw for that world record RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[dusk falcon]

silk has joined the chat

[arctic grove]

Silk has shat his pants

[dusk falcon]

but seriously that guy is crazy

idk how he does it with the 25mm cannon

[pine roost]

Can’t believe it’s been this long and there’s not been a freelook sens slider

[radiant prism]

I think the most kills I ever got with a plane was the Spitfire Mk. VB I’m BFV when the rockets accidentally got tank values and could one-burst any vehicle in the game

[arctic grove]

tbh I don't even hate the AGM it's just that by the time u get the 3rd missile (required to kill) the tank is full hp

[radiant prism]

That was 105 kills

[pine roost]

But hey, they are finally fixing the rear cam ;)

[dusk falcon]

bfv planes give me ptsd

[radiant prism]

That’s why I flew fighters, I loved taking them down

[fervent rose]

the sky TOR patch

[dusk falcon]

not to mention the illya muromets

[arctic grove]

the BF3 jets are also great because the AGM looks DOWN by default instead of you tilting the whole damn plane and risk dying

[radiant prism]

I was a top 0.1% pilot for a while

Now I’m a top 0.1% dozer player :)

[dusk falcon]

may i ask how do you feel about this buff hes getting

[pine roost]

I’m actually getting back into the game now that uni is done and I’m glad to finally be playing a bf game

[radiant prism]

Very happy and much needed

It doesn’t change much about his mechanics, but rewards you more for playing effectively with him

[dusk falcon]

yeah its very occasional

[radiant prism]

Very happy about the speed buff but not sure it was needed

I’ve gotten plenty used to playing with him as is

[fervent rose]

it depends on how much they buffed his controls

[radiant prism]

Then again im a psychopath lol

[arctic grove]

I am happy that after 2 years of the game release (I bought the GOld edition just for jets) and that I can finally get more than 2 kills on average with a jet

[radiant prism]

Catch me cranking 90s with the shield lol

[fickle wharf]

based

[pine roost]

Do you ever practise the 25s in a solo match?

[radiant prism]

I was already good at 180ing and whipping out the shield, I’m a little worried that this might be stupid

[arctic grove]

25s?

[radiant prism]

25mm gun

[pine roost]

The cannon. Is it 20 or 25mms?

I forgor

[radiant prism]

It’s 25 and 35

[pine roost]

Aight

[arctic grove]

Nah I run 30mm against everything

[radiant prism]

25 is better for strafing

[arctic grove]

Tanks Are Achieve Death when I pull up with 30

[pine roost]

But yeah before the jet rework it was super easy to get infantry with them

[radiant prism]

But 35 is great at vehicle combat

[dusk falcon]

25mm is for planes
30mm is for tanks

[fervent rose]

the reverse accel on turning definitely feels bad but i hope they didnt go full call of duty with the riot shield

[radiant prism]

I think I use the 25 on the F-35 and the 35 on the Su-57

[dusk falcon]

i dont try with infantry because unfortunately my name is not silk

[arctic grove]

I got a infantry with a radar missile onec

big flex :D

[pine roost]

Fair enough

Wont need to soon :)

[radiant prism]

Agreed, I like that the dozer shield feels decently skillful to use right now. Don’t want people to be able to spinbot around with the shield and deflect everything lol

Like I actually like the weight

[fervent rose]

ye

[dusk falcon]

maybe this is why they didnt add a new vehicle this season

so many vehicle reworks
||they shouldve still added a jet/bomber tho||

[arctic grove]

The bomber in the loading screen

[radiant prism]

I will admit 1HK is a bit stupid sometimes, but given how slow you are and how comparatively small the shield is it balances out

[dusk falcon]

no

i dont want another illya muromets

theres no stationary aa in this game so itll be a nightmare

[arctic grove]

i mean tbh if they SU-57 and the F-35 get buffed to their real life standards we might not need a bomber at all 💀

[dusk falcon]

with the rocket pods it might meet them

[pine roost]

with the rocket pods you won't need bombs

[arctic grove]

no 🗿 the real life versions can hit rockets accurately from VERY far away

[pine roost]

in my feedback post I mentioned how adding rockets wouldn't work if the explosive spam stayed the same, seems like they took that to heart and did them both at the same time

[dusk falcon]

i mean idk much about fighter jets so i thought this would be it

[prime ember]

will we have a development update video ?

[dusk falcon]

anyways lemme just say this

with how much theyre reducing explosive spam on vehicles, the irish nerf might not be so bad

its still not needed

[arctic grove]

like 20+km away

[pine roost]

they learnt to avoid that after bfv

[arctic grove]

what happened in bfv?

[pine roost]

rockets had no drop off, and huge radii, so you could fire them from across the map with pinpoint accuracy

[dusk falcon]

the planes were realistic

[fervent rose]

no the irish nerf is definitely needed. but a general pass on the explosives also needs to happen. zain and sundance especially, as well as sph

[pine roost]

no risk, high reward

[dusk falcon]

sundance imo doesnt need it

zain and sph definetely tho

[fervent rose]

it doesnt have to be a massive nerf. 5 second longer scatter cooldown would be great

sundance/zain recharge too fast

[warm crater]

watch them buff Glock or smthn

[arctic grove]

toorealistic isn't fun

look at DCS and warthunder

goofy aah p2w games

[warm crater]

make it have explosive bullets & 100 drum mag

[dusk falcon]

fr tho ,if you want realistic play squad, ready or not or insurgency sandstorm

battlefield shouldnt be realistic

it should be fun

[radiant prism]

If they buffed the Su-57 to its real life standards it wouldn’t exist

[rose fiber]

I agree BF should be fun until it becomes too goofy

[pseudo pecan]

when you say thank you on the command screen, does the person who revive you hear it or only your squad?

[fervent rose]

comm rose thank you i believe is a local audio thing

[pseudo pecan]

ah ok so anyone near by then

[arctic grove]

LMFAO

[fervent rose]

i think thats how it works, at least

[pseudo pecan]

cool ty

[fervent rose]

it probably gets culled if theres too many other sounds going off

[mighty holly]

We need to get some documents here

question is whos gonna send it

[odd imp]

any problems with joining squad atm? says wrong version

[radiant prism]

I think there’s like <8 actual Su-57s

That are nothing more than glorified prototypes

[hybrid totem]

wait are we doing the "fun vs realism" discussion again?

[radiant prism]

And the Su-75 Checkmate just…forget about it. The thing will never fly

[radiant prism]

No I’m just shitting on the Russian military

[hybrid totem]

ah carry on

[arctic grove]

the whole world vs russia ong

[radiant prism]

Tends to happen when you wave nukes around

[arctic grove]

more like gas but yeah I get your point

[radiant prism]

Lmao

I feel bad for people who live in Russia

[fervent rose]

imagine playing a new shooter and the realistic modern RU faction lets you play as a drunk with a mosin

[radiant prism]

Because this war really isn’t against them

[median tusk]

Russians are chill to me, Putin is not

[radiant prism]

Exactly

This is against the regime not the people

I just pray that people remember that

[median tusk]

yeah

[quiet shell]

The video game leaking trio
British and chinese tank classified info on warthunder
Pentagon documents on Minecraft
Russian jet documents on Battlefield

[radiant prism]

Funny thing is

We wouldn’t need to leak much

A lot of the specs of the su-57 are publicly available

Same goes for the T-14

[quiet shell]

Oh yeah

Also, you guys think DICE will introduce new factions for the bots with the new map? Since lore wise the US and Russia arent involved

[radiant prism]

I doubt it

The US/RU models were present in the trailer

[quiet shell]

Fuck

[edgy oriole]

you know what

if this isnt the last season

[fervent rose]

the lore stuff only exists as skins, its very lame

[edgy oriole]

what are they gonna do lore wise

[radiant prism]

Seems like they’re trying to swap directions

[edgy oriole]

they cant jump too much forward bc they gonna have to retire 3 specialist

[fervent rose]

falck will be 90% robot, its cool

[edgy oriole]

they already pushing the 3 specialist bc they are mid 60s now

[radiant prism]

There’s mentions of some mysterious force

[fervent rose]

Robofalck

[radiant prism]

Falck is early 60s yeah

[quiet shell]

Maybe they'll walk back the timeline and cover other battles in the war

[edgy oriole]

falck mid 60s

irish and boris are early 60s

[fervent rose]

just replace boris with an actual bot

[radiant prism]

IIRC Falck was 58 in 2043

So she’s now 63?

Boris is I think 61 now

Irish is 57

[fervent rose]

and yet they havent aged a day

[chilly jacinth]

They're in their prime

[fervent rose]

good ol lore

[edgy oriole]

falck is 58 in 2042

[copper ice]

his turret is 61

[quiet shell]

Yeah whoever thought up the lore for this game is really oversestimating the physical limits of the human body in its 50s and 60s

[edgy oriole]

so she is 59 or 60 since we are late 2043 or early 2044 rn

[radiant prism]

No, we’re now in 2048

[edgy oriole]

we in 2048 in a couple weeks.

[radiant prism]

Ok yeah yeah whatever

[edgy oriole]

so they cant have 3 more seasons

[quiet shell]

Boris, Falck, and Irish should have been not included or their ages reduced heavily. They oldest should've been like 45

[edgy oriole]

unless they want to get rid of 3 specialist

[fickle wharf]

[radiant prism]

Some people are very fit into their 60s

[fervent rose]

not like the ages of the specialists make sense in the first place

[edgy oriole]

not front line warfare 60s

[hybrid totem]

it's a fictional future. I'm sure people work well into their 70s

[quiet shell]

That doesnt make them fit for combat

[fickle wharf]

muh realisim

[hybrid totem]

nah let's make them all young and attractive

[fervent rose]

gotta have the oldsters represented. boris is for battle dads

[quiet shell]

Sure Willem Dafoe is in his 60s and still prancing around like an elf but that doesnt make him capable of wearing a plate carrier and laying down supressive fire

[hybrid totem]

say what you want about 2042 but it sure does represent a whole lot of the human species

[radiant prism]

Nah bro Willem Dafoe will operate on a mf 😤😤

[chilly jacinth]

Not everyone becomes decrepid at 60+

[radiant prism]

That bro Operator Status™️

[quiet shell]

Have you seen factory workers? They're decrepid at 30

[chilly jacinth]

And?

Is that everyone?

No

[radiant prism]

Someone who’s been fighting for 5+ years and active like that, it’s not unheard of

[fervent rose]

but its the future!

new hot drugs and cybernetics ez

medicine go brrrr

[edgy oriole]

nah

[radiant prism]

I’d be more on your side if it was more of them, but most of the specialists are anywhere from their 20s to their 40s

[quiet shell]

DICE needs to team up with CDPR and make a cyberpunk battlefield already

[fickle wharf]

i dont understand how someone can ree about age of a character in video game

[hybrid totem]

plus doesn't falck have like family that's been captured or something? A reason to be fighting that late in life?

[edgy oriole]

idk man

84 year old falck coming season 6

[hybrid totem]

prosthetic body

[chilly jacinth]

i think her son or something

[edgy oriole]

maybe we will his 111 falck in season 8

[radiant prism]

A lost son

[fervent rose]

falck's brain inside a robot

season 8

[hybrid totem]

there, see? done

[radiant prism]

If you were trying to find your son at 60, you’d probably fight too

[naive quiver]

season 6 is a question mark

[quiet shell]

Falcks new skin does have exoskeleton legs so maybe thats how she's staying in the fight

[radiant prism]

Especially if you were able enough

[edgy oriole]

season 6 map is going to be the nursing home

[radiant prism]

This too. Fuuuuutuuuurre

[chilly jacinth]

we already have Zain that heals by killing

[plain hamlet]

falck doesn’t even look that old

[chilly jacinth]

with magic

[subtle agate]

are ARs almost dysfunctional in this game? worse accuracy than LMGs, worse TTK than SMGs, they feel so wonky

[plain hamlet]

she looks begin 40’s or sum

[radiant prism]

Zain already has prosthetic legs

[copper ice]

[fervent rose]

This is most certainly a you issue

[edgy oriole]

zain fights with a meth drip in his veins. when his overlords see him kill someone for their film they hit him with some meth as a treat

[copper ice]

you mean better accuracy and better ttk

[fervent rose]

they are the best ARs in any bf of all time

objectively

[subtle agate]

is the AK good?

[chilly jacinth]

yes

[fickle wharf]

yeh

[subtle agate]

I like AKs but it feels so shit in this game

[fervent rose]

ak24? its fine but rm68/scar are better

[edgy oriole]

all AR are viable but there is better options than ak

[copper ice]

the ak is mid compared to other ARs but its still an AR

[quiet shell]

I thought Zain was just a long range vampire

[fervent rose]

the balancing isnt perfect, by all means

but ARs are overtuned

[hybrid totem]

future twitch streaming

[plain hamlet]

play till u got some of the attachments, some things will feel better @subtle agate

[subtle agate]

what kind of games makes an AK bad lol

[fervent rose]

the ak isnt bad

[plain hamlet]

although i feel like ur just baiting rn

[fervent rose]

you're missing your shots

[subtle agate]

I'm not

[hybrid totem]

stickers should not be that big...

[fickle wharf]

ak is fine what are you smoking

[quiet shell]

The AK in battlefield 3 is pretty awful

Twas so bad it didnt even come back in battlefield 4

[subtle agate]

I mean I go 40-2 easily with any stock LMG but the ARs dont have a place in any map, it's either super long range and u use an LMG or super close range and u use an SMG

[radiant prism]

Inb4 drag AK through the mud

[plain hamlet]

the AK is a perfectly good gun, so it is in fact a you problem, play it till u have some attachments, then maybe it’ll feel a bit better for u @subtle agate

[fervent rose]

lmg's are very busted

[quiet shell]

That or DICE assumed the AK-12 would've phased it out by 2020.
Which evidently is not the case.
Infact its been regressing recent

[plain hamlet]

the SMG’s are actually one of the weaker classes, they get outgunned by assault rifles even in QCQ, which is kinda bs

[fervent rose]

the best LMGs in bf history as well

[radiant prism]

Not only that, but they’ve developed a new rifle supposedly in 2042

[hybrid totem]

pfft guns aren't active that long

[copper ice]

the lmgs act like ARs with worse IRM and worse sprint to fire time

[quiet shell]

Well Kalashnikov did unveil a 3rd gen AK-12 that solves a lot of its problems. I doubt Russia is gonna buy it anytime soon however

[copper ice]

and like 300 bullets in exchange

[fervent rose]

but if you jump into shots the sprint to fire time doesnt even matter

[radiant prism]

Russia unveils stuff all the time, doesn’t mean it’ll actually get used

[fervent rose]

2042 lmgs are cracked

[copper ice]

yeah it's almost like they put 0 thought into the gunplay in this game xD

[fervent rose]

but nerf the +10 bullet extended mags

[copper ice]

drum mag BAD

[solid imp]

M16 would like a word 🙂

[copper ice]

200 round extended lmg belt

[quiet shell]

Kalashnikov is like the only company in Russia that actually delivers on its products. You can fault Russia for a great many things but you cant fault Kalashnikov

[radiant prism]

M2 .50 would like another word

[copper ice]

lcmg even gets the underbarrels so you can spam nades

[fervent rose]

given the 2042 rails it doesnt make sense to call it a ak12 anyway

[quiet shell]

The Mosin Nagant would like a word too

[fervent rose]

weird futuristic rail system

[solid imp]

All good examples.. in any case the AK in 2042 holds up really well as an AR.

[quiet shell]

Not even all that futuristic. Its a rail system that uses its own special batteries to power optics and attachments. This rail system was unveiled in... 2018

[solid imp]

Wait really? Which rail system is in 2042? I always thought it was made up..

[fervent rose]

yea i never seent that on a real gun either

[quiet shell]

I dont remember its exact name but it didnt really take off and I think the company making it abandoned it

Maybe it'll show up on Forgotten Weapons in 10 years

[solid imp]

Huh interesting.. maybe Alex will someday share the name of his inspiration. Curious.

[quiet shell]

Alex wasnt around for initial conception.

So he may have an answer he may not

You're a moderator, shoot him an @

[solid imp]

Fair points but I imagine he's well versed in the tech he's throwing on weapons these days. It's not urgent enough for me to @ him. He has said before he usually checks for his name on Mondays so I can wait lol

[pulsar goblet]

Does anyone know when will there be a new battlefield game or will it just be 2042? (just questioning to know if I should buy the game or keep the monthly subscription of ea play)

[edgy oriole]

new bf wont come til holidays 24 imo

[copper ice]

1. You should buy a yearly
2. Don't buy either

[pulsar goblet]

game is on-sale for 10 buck rn...

[edgy oriole]

its worth 10

[dense nexus]

Meh, bf1 and bf5 is still playable

[edgy oriole]

i tell people to buy when its on sale 30 or less

[pulsar goblet]

alr

[dense nexus]

It's for 15 now? No?

[stone cradle]

Best case scenario. Probably could come as late as summer of 2025

[spare quest]

15 on steam

[dense nexus]

On origin 10?

[spare quest]

uhh idk

[dense nexus]

I mean its prob as same as bf v

Like the feel

[quiet shell]

My prediction for the next battlefield game is either holiday 24 or 25. Either way DICE would be dumb to cancel support for the game after season 5 and make us wait over a year in silence for the next game

[spare quest]

15

[rocky kraken]

everyone asking for more reworks when we all know the games over

[fervent rose]

they have 3 months to fix the lack of ammo crates

[rocky kraken]

completley pointless

you think dice would do anything

5.2 is the last update watch

[fervent rose]

yea i know that

[rocky kraken]

they havent touches gadgets since launch

[fervent rose]

i'm actually surprised we got a 5.0 at all

[rocky kraken]

true

but its funny how much effort they put into 5

compared to every other season

kinda shitty

[fervent rose]

no new specialist, no new vehicle, its not exactly huge season

[rocky kraken]

also just watched the trailer

[rocky kraken]

more towards features

features shoulda been first

[fervent rose]

but they definitely need to do a lot of QOL stuff before they drop the game

[rocky kraken]

before content imo

just watched the trailer and during the rpk reload the mag goes through the gun just like in game

Lets goooo

quality game

[real fern]

They just need to rip the bandage off and tell us no year 2 at this rate.

[rocky kraken]

they will wait till 5.2

[wanton mural]

Y'all have any tips for me to get my FPS back?

[rocky kraken]

get god cpu

[wanton mural]

I used to get 70 at medium

now I get 45

[rocky kraken]

whats your specs

[pulsar goblet]

make it low

[real fern]

graphics settings

make them low

all of it

makes no diff to the game anyway

RX 6700XT, I5 9600k, 32GB of ram

[fervent rose]

theres a couple user config stuff you can do, but the big one messes with lights a lot

[real fern]

check your region as well

[fervent rose]

but you can gain 10-20 fps so its worth imo

[wanton mural]

Where do I find it?

[stone cradle]

New game cover

[rocky kraken]

also

[stone cradle]

could this mean the end?

[rocky kraken]

why the hell are they adding more grenades

[wanton mural]

No

[rocky kraken]

100% is the end

[wanton mural]

It is?

[spare quest]

yep

[wanton mural]

Already

[stone cradle]

BFV also got a new one when it was cut off

[rocky kraken]

most definitley

[wanton mural]

It's not even been 2 years

[livid swift]

looks like a korean ripoff :))

[rocky kraken]

welcome to battlefeild

life cycle

[spare quest]

theres no way we will get another year lol

[real fern]

yep. plus with folks who worked on the game leaving to start their own thing, yeah the contract is up

[rocky kraken]

i dont even care

they should work on the next game with the entire team

[stone cradle]

I personally like it, but sad at the seeming high possibility of no more seasons

[rocky kraken]

make the next game good

never liked 2042

just played to cope

with my spended money

[real fern]

it will be a flop because all EA wants is a cash grab

[rocky kraken]

eh

[spare quest]

microtransactions go brrr

[rocky kraken]

dice has new leadership

[stone cradle]

I can't wait for this game to become hacker infested like V and 1 became

[rocky kraken]

so idk

[real fern]

new leadership doesnt always mean good game in next installment

[wanton mural]

Time for another shitty battlefield game

[rocky kraken]

have you seen who it is tho

[spare quest]

[hybrid totem]

DICE has new leadership! But it's still EA

[wanton mural]

Did they confirm it's the end of 2042?

[rocky kraken]

no

[real fern]

yes but leadership at the helm doesnt make a good game it is the talent inside the company that does.

[rocky kraken]

but the community has

[fervent rose]

its highly customizable google "user.cfg" for 2042

[copper ice]

They're really doing their best to make it look like an older game lmfao

[rocky kraken]

i guess leadership doesnt effect anything

[copper ice]

Transparent

[rocky kraken]

that makes zero sense

[next isle]

https://tenor.com/view/its-over-better-call-saul-its-joever-it-is-over-season6-gif-27000967

[rocky kraken]

lol

welp

[next isle]

(I have no idea)

[wanton mural]

reddit says it doesn't work

[stone cradle]

When are they going to officially announce it? I wonder

[rocky kraken]

the com knows something

[real fern]

it doesnt affect everything only some things. new leadership will always keep investors hopeful so things can keep funded

[rocky kraken]

5.2

[fervent rose]

it works now, it didnt at launch

[rocky kraken]

they will say that the game is in a good place

and drop it

[wanton mural]

Is it in the install directory?

[fervent rose]

and console commands always worked even when the userconfig didnt

ye main install directory

you have to make it

or download someone elses and put it there

[stone cradle]

We'll know the true fate of the game in the developer update vid

Should come in the next few days I guess

[rocky kraken]

not really

[wanton mural]

Name it "user.cfg" ?

[rocky kraken]

they will just go over season 5

[fervent rose]

ye make sure its saved as all files not a txt file

user.cfg

[stone cradle]

They also mention the next season in the videos

[real fern]

Season 6 is prob nothing but QoL

[stone cradle]

No naval combat

[rocky kraken]

S6 wont exist

so it doesnt matter

all updates will be within s5

[copper ice]

no maps for naval combat

Naval combat is a meme anyway

[arctic grove]

+1

[stone cradle]

Loading screen used to be a warship in water

[rocky kraken]

next game will have naval

im calling it

[pulsar goblet]

still is

[still vault]

All we know is that season 6 has not been mentioned. Everything else is speculation.

[stone cradle]

Felt like a meme from the devs

[fervent rose]

naval combat work well in bf. its always a meme

[heavy lava]

Actually, if S5 is the last season. Patch notes will probably mentioned about it

Just like the Pacific Update

BF5

[fervent rose]

having a little bit of water and boats for transport is cool though

[spare quest]

can't wait for the shitstorm when they announce it

[last willow]

still waiting for 2142 lore to come in

all hail 2142

BEST BF

jk they're all good

[heavy lava]

2042 has it's potential, DICE abandon it is a bad move for the company

[last willow]

but 2142 ftw

[heavy lava]

New Vehicle, Prototype Mech

[last willow]

Their hands are tied by shareholders lol it do be sad

[fervent rose]

they announced it was being dropped with the final patch, and we have 3 more patches for 2042 at least

[wary mulch]

Someone up to some Lis mastery farming in portal server? Hit me up

[copper ice]

Im good wit this mini boats are fun

[wanton mural]

So save as all?

[fervent rose]

yep

[last willow]

Let's squad up and sweat in 2042?

[heavy lava]

Just wait the developer commentary or data mines

[last willow]

Watch out for those data anti tank mines

[heavy lava]

Lmao

[remote kiln]

data mines do fuck all lol

we know nothing with, or without it

[wanton mural]

@fervent rose Do I save it as an FNA file?

[fervent rose]

although in 2042 the regular transport boats would be a complete death trap

[last willow]

Except big explosions

[heavy lava]

Just take a grain of salt should be enough

[last willow]

BUG A SALT

[remote kiln]

no you shouldn't read anything from data mines

[fervent rose]

nah it should be considered a CFG file

[spare quest]

just use the MAV as boat

[stone cradle]

this isn't a data mine though

[heavy lava]

The game has also one that was missing

[stone cradle]

It's the new official cover of the game on stores

[heavy lava]

Naval Combat

[last willow]

That's the weapon we need in 2042, a bug a salt

[copper ice]

we're assuming a game with a modicum of balance in this scenario

[remote kiln]

DICE can cancel the game at any point in time, it doesn't matter if they have 40 different assets in the files

[wanton mural]

So in notepad++ I hit save all right

[fervent rose]

yep

[proper vapor]

I still dont understand where they dont get that making a good game would sell even more than just making a good trailer

[fervent rose]

"user.cfg" and save as "all types"

[heavy lava]

It will be not a battlefield without Naval

[spare quest]

it will

[last willow]

Same reasons politicians don't function. They are mentally ill

[proper vapor]

Man politicians are so old

[remote kiln]

blah blah blah battlefield will not be battlefield without mention X arbitrary thing

[last willow]

Shareholders are old too

[heavy lava]

You can't even dive on eater

[last willow]

They think backwards

[remote kiln]

almost like that's been said for a decade now

[heavy lava]

Just my opinion

[spare quest]

https://tenor.com/view/trump-donald-trump-reaction-gif-15907007

[last willow]

They're like businessmen that start businesses to sell them every two years

Start new business, sell after two years, start over.

[proper vapor]

They checked my dna it wasnt dna it was usa

[last willow]

I know someone like that, he's loaded

[fervent rose]

by the way the big one for fps is "WorldRender.LightTileCsPathEnable 0" @wanton mural

[proper vapor]

My cousin is like that

[fervent rose]

but like i said it messes with lights so its personal preference

[heavy lava]

At least a QoL with diving, so you can take cover

[remote kiln]

why would they add diving

half the maps don't have water

[heavy lava]

In water

[last willow]

They're doing that with games

[jovial jay]

Wahtah

[stone cradle]

Diving would be useless in this game

[last willow]

these IPs are like companies

[proper vapor]

Let me dive off that cliff in the canada map

[jovial jay]

Probably for portal

Some portal maps have water

[heavy lava]

Remember those Air Transport leak's, that the vehicle has many arsenals in one vehicle, with many seats?

[jovial jay]

With actual importance to the map

[fervent rose]

there's not enough water in 2042 for diving to matter

[remote kiln]

cc

[heavy lava]

Think about it, yeah.

[viral stratus]

Just saw the trailer but did they reveal a new operator/is one coming?

[wanton mural]

I wish we had gotten a modernized Battlefield 4

[tall portal]

Battlefield needs a update

[viral stratus]

Wasn't paying full attention ngl

[jovial jay]

None lol

[tall portal]

Super bad

[fervent rose]

no they are done with specialists being added

[remote kiln]

no it was already clarified before season 4 launched blasco would be the final one to be added

they aren't adding anymore due to balance reasons

[mighty holly]

!!when battlefield official irl Gun leaks

[tender pendant]

Soon™

[viral stratus]

That's fine with me tbh

[tall portal]

@tender pendant

Zeppelin

[wanton mural]

Makes sense

[heavy lava]

To be fair, in the launch, I feel specialist is a good addition to a Battlefield game

[wanton mural]

I like our specialists

[tall portal]

With you be my blimp

[heavy lava]

But in reality

[tall portal]

@tender pendant

[heavy lava]

People don't want change

[tall portal]

Be my blimp

[mighty holly]

!!when will @tender pendant be Bob Ross’s blimp

[tender pendant]

Soon™

[remote kiln]

specialists will not return for future titles

[heavy lava]

Sure, Extraction Gamemode and scrapped Battlefield BR.

[remote kiln]

it's already been more or less said at this point

[tall portal]

thank you blimpy

[mighty holly]

[stone cradle]

Obviously

[wanton mural]

@fervent rose I don't notice any diff with the lightning

[stone cradle]

They don't want to enrage alot of the fanbase again

[heavy lava]

It wasn't the All out warfare afterall if they are the main focus

[stone cradle]

[copper ice]

never stood much chance
its nice to see devs flat out admit game is shit on launch sometimes

[remote kiln]

he doesn't work for DICE anymore

will be part of the reason why

[heavy lava]

They fuck around and find out that the community hates it

[stone cradle]

I'm just glad Mr. Candy Crush is gone

[sharp marten]

Just hopped on bf3 and people are still playing this (I’m in console)

[fervent rose]

i hope the people replacing them are competent

[stone cradle]

It seems like they are

[remote kiln]

it was a decision made by DICEs upper management to have them in the game, back then anyways

[fervent rose]

2042's "vision" was something else

[stiff pollen]

Dice when the game has poor mechanics, bad decisions, etc: hmmm why game flop

[remote kiln]

what the developer said just clarifies stuff that's already been said

[fervent rose]

both 128 and an extraction shooter WOOO yea

[copper ice]

they put specs in it because they wanted to sell more skins

[heavy lava]

Hmm, I see

[stone cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-principal-skinner-skinner-children-out-of-touch-gif-4463952

[heavy lava]

The Hazard Zone is a ghost town

I never played a match for it

[jovial jay]

Same

[heavy lava]

Since I got the game

[copper ice]

if you have 16 different characters all with their own gadgets and they all require their own skins then thats 16 times more skins being sold
^ corporate logic

[stone cradle]

Hazard zone should've been f2p

[jovial jay]

I played every other mode beside hazard zone

[remote kiln]

it can't really be free to play

[copper ice]

hazard zone should not have been

[remote kiln]

it would be awkward and well confusing for players

[stone cradle]

Not really, look at MW2 and dmz

[remote kiln]

stuff is tied to the base game, and that doesn't end well

[heavy lava]

Hazard Zone should be scrapped

[fervent rose]

hazard zone is not enough of a game to succeed as a free to play game

[heavy lava]

Instead with SP

[stone cradle]

But yeah they'll need to seperate everything

[remote kiln]

it's not the same equivalent

[heavy lava]

Or Battlefield Co-op
