battlefield-2042

[hardy crest]

oh nvm it is a new map

[quaint vector]

https://tenor.com/view/penguin-hide-you-didnt-see-anything-penguins-of-madagascar-gif-15123878

[patent prism]

Neato

[hybrid totem]

We don't need to wait, let's just get super hyped

[vale tusk]

No, they said hourglass was the last rework

[scarlet shard]

stop at Season 6, good. stop at Season 5, bad but that is okay.

[royal swan]

If they are going to do another rework, it has to be kaleidoscope, that shit needs a second upgrade

[hallow fractal]

stop at season 1

[hardy crest]

no dont stop at s6

for me i want y2 and y3 y4 etc.. lol like any game ongoing game

[pine roost]

pre order the battlepass or something

[vale tusk]

Noooooo exposure by far

[spark rapids]

I think kaleidoscope is decent actually, very fun with snipers

[strong snow]

No.

[dapper river]

just needs a new rush layout. shit hasn't changed since day 1, even with the rework

[vocal adder]

Some of the reworks were poor tbh

[hybrid totem]

preorder
hiss, boo

[scarlet shard]

Kaleidoscope is dead, I will just exit the game while meet it.

[hallow fractal]

yes they already have these stupid skins lets get emotes and dances

[pine roost]

I'm never going close to a pre order button for any game now

[strong snow]

No.

[vale tusk]

Hey all. Let's take a vote. Last rework map. Either exposure or kaleidoscope

[hallow fractal]

i want a banana costume?

[royal swan]

Exposure needs a layout change, kaleidoscope needs a damn rework with half the map being God awful

[hallow fractal]

peanut butter jelly dancing banana

[hybrid totem]

manifest obviously

[vale tusk]

Switch those lol

[spark rapids]

stranded

[hallow fractal]

what do you mean you dont like a skyscraper 500m away from the nearest building with nothing but flat land between?

[royal swan]

I played exposure when it was fun, the layout was the problem, kaleidoscope has so much useless areas that hasn't been changed in the first rework

[strong snow]

U play too much Fortnite?

[hybrid totem]

nah stranded can't be saved

[hallow fractal]

2042 is fortnite cod

[hybrid totem]

I'd say delete Stranded but we don't have enough maps for that

[vale tusk]

I feel you. On exposure, everyone despises the last broken obj

[royal swan]

I remember when the BT exposure layout was fun

[hybrid totem]

ok see you need to clarify that you're talking about the lesser played game mode

[spark rapids]

Yeah, at first it was fun but it got old quick we already have discarded after all

[vale tusk]

Half the time you can't even capture ot

It

[hallow fractal]

is there a conquest mode that isn't the combined objectives for the different zones?

just individual objective areas like it was when bf was good

[hybrid totem]

...a conquest mode that isn't conquest? No.

[spark rapids]

I mean it couldve been a good map for naval combat

[royal swan]

Also what's this biased downplay on stranded

It's a good map

[hallow fractal]

so every conquest mode before 2042 wasn't conquest? genius

[hybrid totem]

Stranded has zero. ZERO vehicle cover

[meager hemlock]

Flashpoint?

[hybrid totem]

Oh, you mean a conquest without sectors

[sharp marten]

This so be true

[hybrid totem]

No, there is not.

[royal swan]

It's an infantry map

[spark rapids]

Its a boring map imo, couldve been so much more

[hallow fractal]

Lame the sectors are bad compared to how it was before

[hybrid totem]

disagree, but that seems to be what you're here for

[frosty flint]

Alright got the AM40 tier one time to do AK

[royal swan]

Stranded is a A tier map for being a Infantry map

[sharp marten]

Nice job man

[vale tusk]

What they need is actual team voice comms. Not chat. I don't care about talking to the enemy team lol. I want to effectively communicate with my whole team without having to text something lol

[hallow fractal]

I just don't understand why they change the formula so much when it was amazing beofre

[sharp marten]

When do we get locker 2.0?

[vale tusk]

Imo

[hybrid totem]

dear god no

[willow sky]

global team voice chat

[solar tinsel]

yikes

[vale tusk]

It'd be nuts

[solar tinsel]

BF2 had a decent system, where squad leaders could communicate with the commander

[hallow fractal]

enjoy the sound of screaming kids, slavic music, car horns and washing machiens

[solar tinsel]

and then squads could chat with their squad members

[hybrid totem]

that was actually fun

[spark rapids]

You got c point in exposure, i remember everyone got cramed up there when it first released

[royal swan]

If you are in dire need of a vehicle based map, play hourglass

[spark rapids]

Just a meat grinder

[meager hemlock]

Proximity voice chat in Rush XL...

[solar tinsel]

It's the only reasonable way you could make it work without it being mayhem

[sharp marten]

[vale tusk]

But we can always mute if we want too

[hybrid totem]

adding commander mode, yes

[solar tinsel]

then again, thats contingent on a commander existing ha

[sharp marten]

Commander mode would be a huge W

[solar tinsel]

which 2042 wont get

[hybrid totem]

everyone would just mute it and it would be a waste of development hours

[solar tinsel]

maybe the next title

[hallow fractal]

people want to play battlefield not voice call of mutey

[sharp marten]

can’t wait to watch levelcap a video about the good news

[royal swan]

I don't care for commander mode, but I'm all for call ins

[vale tusk]

Yall say that now lol

[hybrid totem]

Not to mention you KNOW they would have all-team VC turned off by default

[vale tusk]

True hahaha

[hallow fractal]

Well duh they have anything that requires brain power turned off by default

[strong snow]

Enders will find something serious wrong and complain for 15 minutes straight

[chilly jacinth]

only 15

more like hours

[strong snow]

Ahah

[royal swan]

Enders will make a positive video on the more content after s5

[vale tusk]

Well if anyone ever wants to squad up, sometime I'm a combat medic. Falk main, I'll do my best to revive

[royal swan]

But running up will be a full on negative video

[pine roost]

the map looks decent and beyond that the only thing I can see that could be complained about (aside from the lack of a vehicle) boils down to the irish nerfs and new grenades

[hallow fractal]

never revive thats not the battlefield way

[vale tusk]

Lol but I love reviving

[vale tusk]

Wait.. I'm confused

[spark rapids]

Easy XP with 63 teamates

[vale tusk]

Heck yes

[hallow fractal]

5 medics within 15m nobody reviev

[vale tusk]

Hahahahaha you're telling the #8 medic on xbox.

[royal swan]

8 days left

[vale tusk]

Medics suck

Not me

I'm the one you want on your team

😊😊

[hallow fractal]

probably only 8 medics reving on xbox 🤣

[vale tusk]

Hahahaha

[spark rapids]

Mostly those that choose Falk only to self heal, thats why Irish is better

[royal swan]

Damn medic ego, better than the most kills ego

[vale tusk]

Literally lol'ing

[vale tusk]

But that's not me. I'm a Reviver

[sharp marten]

If we’re being fair Enders should put down the controller and the camera and go outside maybe some sweat on that big ass forehead will be good for him

[royal swan]

[frosty flint]

Isn't enders just flaming bf for the views

[vale tusk]

Not an ego. Just the truth

[frosty flint]

i thought it was just an algorithm trick

he is funny to be honest

[pine roost]

he's flaming it because he wants it to be better

[royal swan]

Sounds alot like an ego

[frosty flint]

Clearly hasn't played destiny the videogame

[vale tusk]

How? Because I'm saying that I am a good medic and other medics suck? Because they do?

Lol

[pine roost]

what's that got to do with this

[vale tusk]

They should try revive instead of walking right past you

[royal swan]

The pride in being 8th medic on Xbox while downplaying the rest, sounds a lot like having a ego

[frosty flint]

His expectations towards any fps would be destroyed the second he tips a toe into destiny lmfao

[vale tusk]

Lol okay buddy

[frosty flint]

Bigger ego better person am i right or am i right

[sharp marten]

Enders got killed by a a dude with a riot shield and proceeded to insult that dude in discord DMs he’s a fucking cry baby

[vale tusk]

I just love being a medic and I'm passionate about it

[royal swan]

Having an ego ain't bad lol, just saying you have one

[vale tusk]

I don't. But okay lol. We'll agree to disagree

[frosty flint]

?!?!?!? The fuck LMAO

Ah i love the bf server

always some friendly banter

[sharp marten]

I mean observer isn’t wrong

[pine roost]

we do have fun

[hybrid totem]

You... don't have an ego?

[sharp marten]

It’s not bad to have a ego

[frosty flint]

Why would he be pointing it out then???? lmao

It is like if I said: "You have a forehead"

middle of a discussion

[vale tusk]

Hahahahah

[royal swan]

Just take basic psychology, ego ain't fucking bad

[vale tusk]

I like you @frosty flint

[frosty flint]

I like u 2

[vale tusk]

Wanna be friends? @frosty flint

[frosty flint]

sure add me TheWildProf on EA

[royal swan]

Thank you

[vale tusk]

I'll add you when I get on. I'm laying down atm

[hallow fractal]

anyone else get shot through walls a hell of a lot?

[remote kiln]

hm I know that name from somewhere

[frosty flint]

Oh nice

[pine roost]

doesn't ring a bell

[chilly jacinth]

isnt your ingame name just deco

nvm uk at the end

[remote kiln]

someone else had deco unfortunately

[chilly jacinth]

sadness

[vale tusk]

No, but I get killed by grenades through walls

[hallow fractal]

yea that happens to me too

[frosty flint]

They need to nerf SPH skill issue!

[vale tusk]

They're so effing overpowered

[vale tusk]

That sph is dumb. They should have just added sticky grenades 🤦🏿‍♂️

[royal swan]

Sounds like a skill issue

[frosty flint]

up close It's like NTW but doesn't take main gun slot but also has hella splash and huge handling

?????? someone thought this was ok???

clearly marketing campaign to sell the season

[vale tusk]

Yeah, but they won't listen to us. Only the top content creators with lots of followers lol

[royal swan]

Ever heard "sounds good on paper"

[vale tusk]

@royal swan who pissed in your cherrios? Why you such a smart ass? Lol

Sorry if I miss read that tho

[frosty flint]

Wait going to get popcorn brb

[royal swan]

Of all the things to get mad at me, it's because I'm making smart snarky comments

[vale tusk]

I'm not getting mad bro lol. It was just a question

[frosty flint]

Yes your comments are so smart I don't have the intellectual capacity to process them

[royal swan]

Yo bro it ain't college level smart, dumb it down a little

[vale tusk]

I have nothing against you, but I feel like ever since I came in this chat, you've been on one lol

Just hope all is well man

💯

[sharp marten]

It’s only bad to have a ego when you start treating people like shit

[royal swan]

When I said "sounds good on paper" it was to make it that the reason they added the SPH or Tor was because they thought these items/vehicles would help

But they didn't

[pine roost]

same with the stealth

the idea of having a mode switch is neat, but that mode switch just ended up being a bit of a nuisance

[royal swan]

Ego is not bad, ego means self or "confidence and satisfaction in oneself"

[vale tusk]

And that's why I said sorry if I read that wrong, because I didn't want to jump to conclusions or just assume lol

[trail prawn]

Ego in video games. Gotta love the inevitable toxicity

[royal swan]

No its alright

[trail prawn]

I seriously love game chat sometimes

[royal swan]

I'm not mad at anything right now, I think we are just misunderstanding each other

[frosty flint]

Whoa what a fabulous observation, comrade

[vale tusk]

Yeah, you might be right haha

[frosty flint]

For it is a misunderstanding which gives birth to the common phenomenon known as argument

🤯

[vale tusk]

Or, maybe it gave birth to a discussion?

[frosty flint]

Nah not on the internet

aw hell no not on the internet

[trail prawn]

Bouta give birth to a fat shit

[pine roost]

[frosty flint]

Yo don't fat shame

[vale tusk]

Make sure you wipe, no matter how fast it slides out

[ripe hedge]

This is the content I come here for

[royal swan]

Brooo

[frosty flint]

Wait you're a (fellow?) enjoyer of fat shaming

[hallow fractal]

why do people heal so quick its ridiculous

[hard plume]

So @ripe hedge blink once for season two, or twice for no season 2

[frosty flint]

probably falck players

also play falck yourself it's hella op

[hybrid totem]

We're talking about fat shaming shits, don't stray

[sharp marten]

I agree but it becomes a problem when people think that their owns shit don’t stink

[hallow fractal]

why do people fat so quickly its ridiculous

[sharp marten]

We’re on season 5

[hybrid totem]

Dude, don't treat him like a dev. Treat him like a human

[frosty flint]

Yeah according to "media" telling someone they're a "dev" is now derogatory

[vale tusk]

Hey all, check my stats out over in the stats tab

[hybrid totem]

Nah I just mean he won't answer shit about the game (unless it's about weapons, and only if they've been released)

[vale tusk]

Not the greatest but I have fun playing 😊

[minor ferry]

there a skeptisism
gew46 is just g36c changing a name
and that it was originally designed as a vault weapon

[hybrid totem]

It's ridiculous how as soon as people see that pretty cyan name pop up, they immediately take it as a personal "ask me anything about the game"

[minor ferry]

the traditional instead of futuristic pica rail stated that fact

[frosty flint]

what else would be the purpose of the cyan name thoe

[hybrid totem]

to tell us who they are? they're not your personal answer mules

[royal swan]

They do answer to feedback but they can only answer so much

[dapper river]

Alex is the final team member working on 2042 and he will deliver year 2-5 with 50 seasons

[royal swan]

Alex is a weapon designer and will only answer weapon related questions

[next onyx]

DEAGLE.

DEAGLE.

[next sierra]

Is bf2042 worth having has it improved I touched it in szn 1 and 2 that's it

I wanna get back into the series again

[remote kiln]

yes

[random breach]

It is a night and day difference from how it was during the Open beta

[next sierra]

Ok I remember people not liking it on launch and I kinda was iffy to I just stuck to bf1

[minor ferry]

and there is a good question
why does gew46 not have a 2042 style pica rail

[frail ravine]

I've been enjoying it lately

[minor ferry]

even bsvm has a futuristic rail

[obsidian zinc]

season 6?

[remote kiln]

it's a drastically different game now from season 1 and 2, it'll seem familiar but a lot has been through the scrap recycling centre

[next sierra]

I see real questions pc or ps5 should I go for?

[sharp marten]

Man he won’t answer shit unless it’s about weapons? That’s crazy it’s like he works in the weapons in this game

[remote kiln]

if you've got the hardware no real reason to not use pc

if not ps5

[next sierra]

5600 and rx 6600 xt build

[hybrid totem]

were you following the conversation, or was this just a knee-jerk reaction to the last post in it

[remote kiln]

ehh you'll be cutting it close, the game will run, but be prepared for not stellar performance

[random breach]

No real statement but at the end of the dev blog video they did state that there was going to be more content post-season 5 so fingers crossed for those who want a year 2 of bf2042

[sharp marten]

Na I’m just enjoying a little bit of Tom foolery

[dapper river]

The video and blog didn't make it clear, are vault weapons (ARs and snipers) actually getting 2042 attachments at S5 launch, or is it coming later in the season?

[random breach]

I have 2700x and a 3070ti

[sharp marten]

Yes they are well AR’s

[random breach]

you should be fine

[royal swan]

The ars and the gol is getting the skins and attachments

[random breach]

drip feed vault weapons starting with the ARs

[royal swan]

Right on launch of s5

The rest are coming later on

5.1 or 5.2

[pseudo lake]

Can anyone tell me does the specialist camila still have her jammer that scrambles mini map nonstop??? I stopped playing game because of her. If her ability didn’t get nerfed then I won’t reinstall she ruins the game

[frosty flint]

Speaking of hardware @remote kiln I found the VSOC 😄 toned down to 1.2V

though still didn't find any reason to not use CO
Asked other PC builders, they gave different stories... AMD's documentation hasn't helped me much....

[remote kiln]

no it was stated during podcast 9 the vault weapons would be released in waves due to balance reasons

[royal swan]

🤨

[hallow fractal]

i think the class thing with abilities is just too much for a game with so many people in it

[next sierra]

Yh I play a lot of comp shooters at 1080p 240hz all low setting for csgo and R6 amd mw2 but I tend to buy story based on my ps5 like callisto protocol or however u spell it for RT and the game looking good

[royal swan]

How does blasco ruin the game

[remote kiln]

I misread the question

ARs yes

I thought he said all weapons

[hybrid totem]

Yes, she still has the one thing that makes her unique. Good luck

[remote kiln]

you won't achieve anywhere near that on 2042, you'll have acceptable performance I suppose

[wide shore]

Blasco was annoying when the season started because everybody was using her. But I hardly see the jammer that much anymore.

[limber orbit]

i got a 1080 and a 10700k you should be more than fine lol

[dapper river]

nah I meant ARs, at least the ARs they specified in the dev update video/blog.

[limber orbit]

the jammer was only annoying cus the sound stuck if you were in range lol

[pseudo lake]

I take that as a no, she didn’t get nerfed. I always played breakthrough game mode so only two objectives, so camila jammer would be on both objectives 24/7. She also counters paik 100% which one was one my fav specialist

[next sierra]

Ok I see iirc I was told raster performance of my gpu is 2070 super to 2080 in-between 3060 and 3060 ti so I just wanted to also ask if its ok to run it

[remote kiln]

it's roughly a 2070s

minus RT performance

heavily game dependent

[arctic grove]

a 1080 is a top tier GPU idk what you mean but "you should be more than fine"

[next sierra]

Yh for RT I could get 60 fps lock ish at 1080p on metro Exodus EE at a mix of high and ultra ish

[limber orbit]

i run the game on medium gettin between 80-120fps so dont you worry

[remote kiln]

maybe 7 years ago lol, times have moved on

[next sierra]

*was a top tier

[calm bison]

So just like, play a different specialist

[limber orbit]

was yea lol

[pseudo lake]

Paiks only unique feature is her emg scanner, which is now worthless. So using one specialist to fully render another useless isn’t being unique

[arctic grove]

so many people are still running crappy 1650's that 1080 is still top 1%

[next sierra]

1080 ti was my fav card

[quiet shell]

ALEX
Why Vcar bad

[remote kiln]

doesn't matter, it's not a top tier card, and hasn't been for over half a decade

[hybrid totem]

long story short, no they didn't nerf blasco. Whatcha gonna do now?

[next onyx]

No it's not Kyla!

[remote kiln]

it's more or less the minimum standard you need nowadays

[quiet shell]

YES IT IS

[remote kiln]

but pascal sucks ass so

[limber orbit]

i wanted one at the time it was the shizzle but my money only reached for the 1080 amp from zotac lol

[next onyx]

It's a 3hk 250 (520) rpm MONSTER.

[remote kiln]

meh

[next sierra]

6950 xt is like £600 for Red devil OC iirc that's sick value

[calm bison]

This is the recon equivalent of Zain players complaining that Irish needs to be nerfed because he counters Zain’s ability

[quiet shell]

IT'S A PEASHOOTING FUCKWIT BB GUN

[pseudo lake]

Play a different game lol I really don’t care I’m not a diehard BF fan, I play any FPS games. As long as there is proper balance. Off to play another game thx for info

[hybrid totem]

See, as soon as people see that Cyan name... At least this one is about something this dev can answer

[hybrid totem]

yep yep have a good time

[calm bison]

Except Battlefield has always had this rock-paper-scissors type gameplay

This is par for the course

[quiet shell]

I've been chatting with Alex for a while thank you very much

[next sierra]

For like used builds still people do those Dell optiplex pc builds rx 6600 or used 1080 ti still a good option imo

[robust vapor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcuSlGh7aVA

Drones are the new AA meta ~Warthunder

[quiet shell]

hax

[limber orbit]

it is yea

[worthy elbow]

My vcar never did that

[next sierra]

I should prolly wait a generation before doing a gpu upgrade?

[limber orbit]

arent amd shoving a new one out atm?

[arctic grove]

with how fast GPU's come out now idk man 🗿

[dapper river]

486 users in 1996 when they found out they had to buy a 3dfx chip if they wanted to enjoy Quake

alternatively: 3dfx users in 2004 when they found out they needed to buy a Geforce 6 in order to enjoy Doom 3/Half-Life 2

https://tenor.com/view/omg-ohmygod-realization-suddenrealization-woah-gif-5806250

[pseudo lake]

Well she also makes solfam not work (I liked being a spotter) and proxy grenades don’t work. She even counters Casper’s drone (unless he flies over to attack it) her ability simply counters too much. But oh well

[quiet shell]

oh hey rush XL is back

[remote kiln]

the 7600 was just revealed, there's no point buying it if you're on RX 6000

but there's little point waiting a generation either

[quiet shell]

It fucking would give me hourglass

[next sierra]

Yh 7600 has "same" specs as my 6600 xt but wee see what 7700xt or 7800 xt gonna look like

[remote kiln]

pick your poison

[calm bison]

You mean the radio jammer designed to counter spotting equipment jams stuff? That’s crazy

[arctic grove]

if that's you in your pfp you have cool hair

[remote kiln]

yes

[tough wolf]

Lastly, we’re continuing to work on the game beyond Season 5.
Expect to hear more from us on what’s planned later in Season 5.

what did they mean by this

[remote kiln]

there is no 7800xt this generation, it's the 7900xt

[calm bison]

MORE CONTENT

[next sierra]

7700xt?

[hybrid totem]

Whatever you want it to mean!

[limber orbit]

was thinking of going over to amd purely cus of the prices are a bit more reacheable than nvidia

[arctic grove]

monthly bug fixes and vehicle nerfs!

[quiet shell]

server browser incoming

[limber orbit]

whoops

that was ment for sia lol

[remote kiln]

it exists but it'll be expensive

[next sierra]

Ye that's what I like also I've had none of those driver problems people been saying

[next sierra]

Interesting what should I do?

[pseudo lake]

Jamming her entire team, yes, that’s crazy. Only she herself should be off the radar. No need have 15 jammers all at once scrambling the entire mini map on breakthrough mode. It’s just dumb, but again whatever

[worthy elbow]

When are they gonna buff transport vehicles?

[limber orbit]

see thats why i stayed away cus of that scare and im not a massive nerd on all those things so i stuck to nvidia cus "amd had driver problems and it was shite installing them etc." lol

[remote kiln]

er, you're probably best upgrading to the 6900xt price wise honestly, your other options are the 4080/xtx which are near double the price

[calm bison]

You very funny guy

[dapper river]

year 2, 3, and 5 confirmed

[worthy elbow]

🤣

[next sierra]

6950 xt is £650 ish for Red devil OC

[remote kiln]

yeah the xtx is at minimum £1000

the 900xt is a consideration if you can get it for 700

if so buy that, but there you go

[vale tusk]

Whats y'all favorite map?

[next sierra]

It's cheaper £619 for 6950 xt red devil

[worthy elbow]

Game feels pretty good after taking a couple seasons off

[next sierra]

How good of a value is that?

[remote kiln]

RDNA2 doesn't have AV1 encoding

and it's RT performance is shit

so you're sacrificing a lot compared to now

but you do you

[limber orbit]

see thats the kinda shit i know nothing off lol

[arctic grove]

what the hell are you gonna use RT for 🗿

[remote kiln]

quite a lot lol

[next sierra]

I'll be dead ass it's like once in a blue I use Rt plus I only play 1080p

[next onyx]

SP.

[arctic grove]

what

[remote kiln]

?

[ripe hedge]

Is it bad tho? 👀

[next onyx]

VCAR GOOD!

[quiet shell]

it don't kill the people I point it at so yes

[next sierra]

Tbh 90% of my fren group don't even care for RT XD

[arctic grove]

whoever said "add rocket pods to jets" give them a big hug from me

[limber orbit]

spearhead atm i think

[vale tusk]

You and me both

[next onyx]

The Deagle has tremendous recoil.

[remote kiln]

they will if you care about games within a year or 2

[next onyx]

But its so fitting.

[remote kiln]

UE5 has lumen hardware encoding already

[vale tusk]

That might be mine too. Or Flashpoint

[remote kiln]

there is 0 reason buying a 6000, expensive card, nowadays

[limber orbit]

yea i enjoy flashpoint

[next sierra]

Probably but I play all my games on low or optimised setting for max fps as I'm the competitive donny

[remote kiln]

you won't be playing single player story games on that

well, if you are you're insane

[vale tusk]

But Flashpoint can get so intense. Grenades out the booty

[frail ravine]

wield a vertical grip on it

[low timber]

Is that a Deagle in your pocket or are you happy to see me?

[limber orbit]

yea 128p its insane but 64p is perfect

[next sierra]

Nah I play a lot of esports titles and bf1 and mw2

[remote kiln]

then consider the 6900xt, but £90 isn't a worthy consideration split between the cards

[white geyser]

They only brought back one weapon from BF4 and they couldn’t add BF4 vehicles in the game

[vale tusk]

I agree. You a conquest player or breakthrough?

[remote kiln]

it's still slower than the 90xt aswell

[limber orbit]

i do both but conquest is my main mode

[dapper river]

and they want to induce MORE grenade spam by adding 3 grenade types and nerfing """reworking""" Irish to be less effective

[next sierra]

I see ty hence I bought a ps5 a while back if any game I wanna play at high fidelity I have that

[vale tusk]

I gotcha. I'm a breakthrough guy

[remote kiln]

sure thing

[limber orbit]

i enojyed BT more in BFV tho but i still have fun in 2042 with it

[vale tusk]

Yeah. I'm not looking forward to that. Gonna make me so upset lol. So much more raging is about to happen

[next sierra]

I'll buy DI2 on it ty again my fren

[rocky kraken]

Well

Looks like they are going past s5

[next sierra]

I'll grab game pass ultimate real quick to

[rocky kraken]

Hallelujah

[vale tusk]

In bfv I hardly played breakthrough. Mainly tdm lol. Not I play hella breakthrough and not much tdm. I just don't like alll the running around in conquest

[limber orbit]

the rework of the maps have made it less of a running sim which is nice

[next onyx]

The TTS exceed will be weird.

But this is all of Alex's doing.

[vale tusk]

I might have to play a little more then. But I just it's a little easier to get revives on breakthrough than conquest. Everyone so spread out

[next onyx]

He's trying to make us submit to his bullpup hobby.

I will not be affected.

HERE HE IS.

!!!!!!

[limber orbit]

oh ye way easier

[ripe hedge]

😇Gather round, The bullpup order will commence a prayer ⛪

[limber orbit]

bullpups are nice

[next onyx]

WHAT OTHER BULLPUPS AR E YOU GONNA ADD.

[limber orbit]

AUG pls

[next onyx]

TELL US!

[spare quest]

Where acw-r

[next onyx]

The ACW-R will be getting attachments.

[low timber]

Alex do you have a Bulldog puppy?

[low timber]

In the video it was mentioned, but Gol Magnum wasn’t

[spare quest]

bruh

[hard plume]

@ripe hedge when we getting the famas?

[ripe hedge]

Yes they are looooong and short

[hard plume]

Or the f2000

[limber orbit]

gib all bullpup pls

i pay many money

[next onyx]

I must hold in my impulses.

[limber orbit]

at least 10

[ripe hedge]

Everyone asks when famas, but nobody asks, do we deserve the famas? 👀

[next onyx]

Famas is gonna be fucked.

1000 RPM assault rifle lmaoo.

[vale tusk]

You know what they should really implement??? When a falck main goes down, waiting for a revive, she should be able to heal with her stim pistol to the allies that needs healing

Like in bfv

[low timber]

Famas has everything Alex loves, Iron sights and Bullpup design

[hard plume]

🤔 you may have a point, we are a bunch of babies

[worthy elbow]

Famas with 8x scope

[ripe hedge]

I meant it "we the humanity"

[hallow fractal]

i feel bad for the people who paid even 30 quid for the game hahahaha

[hard plume]

My statement stands

[limber orbit]

same thing applies we all a bunch of babies

[vale tusk]

A bunch of big ass babies

[willow sky]

we need FAMAS now!!!

[next sierra]

Questions is controller on pc bf2042 viable?

[next onyx]

Sorta.

I use it for flying jets.

[next sierra]

In bf games I don't use vehicles

[worthy elbow]

Keyboard only way

[hallow fractal]

stupid babies want a battlefield game in return for their money not cod mmo

[limber orbit]

jet pilots hate this one trick

[low timber]

I wonder that if we do get a Barrett in the future, will it be .50 Cal like the BFP .50 or will it be .416 like in Hardline

[arctic grove]

what is it

[vagrant wyvern]

perfect aim 😭

[limber orbit]

he uses a controller for flying a jet you know just one of those dumb things like "doctors hate this one thing"

[next sierra]

I see cuz I was thinking cuz afaik unlike R6 this game doesn't have a major disadvantage maybe aim but that's all so I wanted to ask

[rocky kraken]

Yes

[vagrant wyvern]

lowkey i wish they would've added more maps to portal

[zealous loom]

I used it the other day as I was having keyboard lag (seems to be getting better fingers crossed) and it's pretty much similar to CoD. The aim assist is pretty strong so it's defo viable

[quiet shell]

unironically if Sundances scatter grenade was removed, I would bump my rating of 2042 from a 7/10 to an 8/10

[vagrant wyvern]

new maps are alright, but imagine metro

[next sierra]

Ok last I used it on szn 1 or 2 the input lag is extreme when I used controller on pc

[drowsy shuttle]

Lol

[zealous loom]

Yea well in this case I got less input lag on controller lol. I didn't use it in S1 so not sure on that

[copper ice]

why did the dev video not mention the rpg

[hybrid totem]

Because we're not getting it

[next sierra]

Yh like I would move the stick like to teb right and like 900 ms later the input will do it

[quiet shell]

literally my least favorite aspect of the game. It completely fucks the balance because sundances scatter grenade is responsible for 90% of the explosive spam

[copper ice]

i have no faith in battlefield but... surely even they would not do that

[next sierra]

First game that had native controller support that I had that issue with

[next onyx]

If they didn't blow up on contact I wouldn't mind the grenades.

[copper ice]

it featured in the best part of the trailer

[hybrid totem]

if we get the RPG, will you start playing again?

[next onyx]

Just makes them feel cheap.

[vale tusk]

Or just the fact that grenades are op asf

[copper ice]

I'll give it a couple days to see if the irish nerf actually works against tank campers

[zealous loom]

Yea I had no issues. I'm running a Ryzen 3550H so I feel like I'd be the first to have it and all good from what I noticed

[quiet shell]

I'm fine with the grenades being lethal but sundances scatter nade is just too much

[copper ice]

If yes I'll give it a shot

[drowsy shuttle]

More than robot dog or the fact you get spotted when you shoot a rao player? Or paik having wallhacks? Okay then

[next sierra]

I see so what do I get bf 2042 on EA app or steam?

[hybrid totem]

but the RPG will make no difference?

[copper ice]

Neither will the irish nerf

[vale tusk]

I agree with you. And especially if they're non-stop

[copper ice]

They've done nothing about infantry explosive spam apart from give even more grenades and nerf irish

[quiet shell]

The robot dog is a mag dump away from not being a problem. No one plays rao and paik players are to bad to take advantage of their wallhacks

[copper ice]

Game is the same

You get 3 fuckin mini nades

[next onyx]

I'm scared of the 35mm on the wildcat.

I thought of it a bit.

Since the stuff that dice just releases ends up broken.

[copper ice]

I'm scared of no RPG in the dev blog that mentioned new gadgets and only showed grenades

[crisp juniper]

please know someone how to turn off consele? Manytimes when I want to switch on primary weapon so I opening the stupid console and I and the moment cant move and do nothing. I died several times because of it 🙄 🤬

[next onyx]

Probably just a portal weapon assignment.

[hard plume]

Yeah that sucks, why are they even nerfing irish?

[copper ice]

Really makes you thunk

[next onyx]

Probably gonna have to be forced to play Dozer once again.

But Imma get the S5 weapons done first.

[hard plume]

Was the 50mm or whatever they’re removing even that good? I remember it being not really effective whenever equip it

[copper ice]

Irish does have an issue with incredibly easy trophy system placement that negates all explosives asides from EMP nades, but this (imo) is the worst way to deal with it and doesn't change the main irish issue which is camping vehicles

[next onyx]

It was good at first.

But was nerfed hard.

40mm will remain useless.

[copper ice]

all they needed to do was make rockets penetrate trophy system radius and have emp bust it

[next onyx]

They should of just removed the 40mil, Make the 57Mil a pure AP weapon, increasing its damage against vehicles with no splash.

[copper ice]

maybe reduce amount irish can place to 1

[next onyx]

A high accuracy high damage weapon.

[next onyx]

Imagine this Chunky.

EMP Xm370.

[copper ice]

[next onyx]

Zip zap your APS's are now gone.

Dude the other day I caused a chain reaction with my XM370 cause some genius wanted to use c4 as a lure, A trap.

[copper ice]

With the new irish change Zain will be able to start the timer easy as fuck regardless

Shoot one, wait 5 seconds, shoot 4

[next onyx]

With one shot from my XM I killed 2 people, Heavily injuring the others.

Yeah that's problematic.

A damage change would go a long way.

[copper ice]

zain is not only a hard counter to irish shield

the only thing that hard countered airburst, is now hard countered by airburst

[hard plume]

What does zain do again?

[next onyx]

He's a hard check to basically people on cranes.

Uh.

He has an airburst.

[copper ice]

be very annoying

[next onyx]

And when he kills people he gets health back.

I would love it if it slightly decreased my health regen delay when capturing an objective.

[jovial jay]

He's a vampire

[next onyx]

Essentially.

Honestly they just need to give Rao the ability to sniff out explosives.

Like with the 1942 Engineer.

For context.

[hard plume]

https://youtu.be/nyLesxQ3juQ

[next onyx]

The 1942 engineer can see enemy gadgets through walls.

[normal mountain]

Imma wait till 2042 is on discount

[next onyx]

Imagine if Rao could see what's in there and deal with it accordingly.

[hard plume]

Thats historically accurate

[copper ice]

why the hell can rao not do that

[jovial jay]

That would be a cool passive

[worthy elbow]

I miss running rocket on Rao. I've barely used him this ween

[copper ice]

it would make him relevant

[quiet shell]

Finished the battlepass. I now have no reason to play 2042 until the next season starts

[jovial jay]

But I rarely see anyone play Rao

[next onyx]

I know that Blasco can kind of do that with her gadget but she's more of an infilitrator.

Rao can be used to warn about enemy gadgets and that.

[copper ice]

rao is only relevant right now for very limited aircraft disruption and for spotting people through smoke

[placid pecan]

i only play rao to troll sweaty pilots

[copper ice]

the smoke is cheese to be honest but he has nothing else going for him

[vale tusk]

I'll be hoping on the sticks soon. Anyone want to squad up? I'm on xbox

[worthy elbow]

Really gets the ttv pilots going

[placid pecan]

if you focus hack them they will leave if they cant farm

[jovial jay]

Still need a teammates to actually deal something to the disrupted heli

[willow sky]

im here

[copper ice]

in my experience the good pilots get hacked, locate you, then kill you

[willow sky]

let me use boris rq

[next onyx]

I would love to hack a claymore and turn it to my side.

[jovial jay]

Which they dont, then complain about vehicle

[next onyx]

Blow everyone the hell up.

[placid pecan]

yeah that can suck but if people are getting farmed usually theres one or two

[copper ice]

there's nothing you can do to disrupted heli because it can pop flares before the hack

[next onyx]

Hacks c4.
Immediately blows up because no clacker.

MULTIKILL.

[jovial jay]

Oh yea Rao goes full Watch Dogs

[copper ice]

flares, runs off, swings back round, kills rao

plus in exchange for minor air annoyance you're now playing rao

[remote kiln]

lol

[royal trail]

hacking into the transport helis and crash them in the ground

that would be something

[worthy elbow]

Haxkerman

[dusk falcon]

or ,whenever you hack a vehicle it mixes up the controls

[jovial jay]

Lmao

Bf6

We're thinking too much

[copper ice]

still very concerned that the rpg isn't in the dev video

[remote kiln]

the RPG is coming

has already been said

[mental delta]

People are thinking of season 6

[copper ice]

and very amused that they advertised the AR and deagle with "your favourites from bf4!"

[jovial jay]

Oh yea

[dusk falcon]

its a vault gadget so i dont think it was meant to be shown

[copper ice]

a vault gadget :^)

new content

[jovial jay]

Is there anything better with the rpg

[copper ice]

so fresh

[dusk falcon]

fresh out the oven

[remote kiln]

not as much of a coincidence as you're thinking

[jovial jay]

I suppose it cant lockon Soflam-ed targets

[copper ice]

2048 and they're still using rpgs

[wide shore]

The deagle is one of my favorites from BF4 tbf

[dusk falcon]

ay if it aint broken dont fix it

[jovial jay]

Dang he's teasing

[dapper river]

Rao is slept on, he is seriously the most useful recon right now :^)

• remote hack fortifications like doors and metal detectors
• remote hack explosives to disable them
• anything hackable will 3D spot not only the hacked target but any other 3D spottable objects within a radius around the hacked target
• killing a hacked enemy during the hack gives you and your squad wallhacks on the remaining 3 squad members
• get immediate intel on where you're being shot at
• hacked vehicles will appear as laser designated while they stay within the radius of your hack
• tugs :)
• he is literally on the cover of the f**in game!!

[copper ice]

it'll likely have faster reload and higher damage for lower velocity

[frail sparrow]

wait am i getting this right. are they no longer adding vault weps cause they're "adding" reworked vault weps? xd

[mental delta]

I still deeply think that at some point (probably before launch) they were planning on adding new stuff to Portal and that there was a BF4 update planned but they cancelled it after launch, we got BF4 cosmetics and now even BF4 guns

[dusk falcon]

yeh kinda dumb

they should add the barrett from bc2 portal

[placid pecan]

Vault weapons dont compete with 2042 laser beams whats the point of adding more

[mental delta]

Basically yes

[proper vapor]

"The village has become a military base." couple of sandboxes

[frail sparrow]

what the fuck, that's fucking hilarious. it's pretending adding vault weps or reworked maps as new content all over again xD just squeezing old content and pretending it's new!

[wide shore]

Let’s also not forget that it isn’t just 2042 warfare. This is a borderline apocalyptic world. Having everybody using top of the line, cutting edge technology makes less sense than using tried and true weapons that are readily available and made in droves.

[jovial jay]

Lol

[mental delta]

Truly a Dice remastered maps team moment

[proper vapor]

Very excited to have them blown up when im standing behind them 💯

[placid pecan]

Whats the point of adding any weapons that dont compete with the RM68 at the moment, you would just be taking a L

[fading mirage]

year two babyyyy

[jovial jay]

Well at least they removed the giant sand dunes near the skyscrapers

[frail sparrow]

i just want the spas-12 man

[wide shore]

Because the RM is getting nerfed.

[jovial jay]

In favor of more cover based areas

[royal trail]

hourglass wont come out until later into the season, maybe it aint fully complete yet

[proper vapor]

How many times have you said 'at least' when defending this game

[dapper river]

and shipping containers

[patent lion]

what the fuck do I do when my T1 season badge is stuck 1 off the required amount

It won't unlock

[proper vapor]

Idk if u mean to say it or if its just habit, but 'at least' is at the least. The very least.

[patent lion]

fucking thing is still not working more than a year after release

[placid pecan]

m5 and sfar are also lasers with good short, mid and long range, even if you nerfed the RM68 into the ground one of them will be the meta

[mental delta]

What do you mean ?

[jovial jay]

Dont just assume Im defending it, there's flaw in everything but Im merely saying changes I like

[proper vapor]

At least the grass isnt yellow

[acoustic seal]

it only took 1.5 years of post-launch support to bring the game into a plausibly acceptable launch state, good job dice 👏

[royal trail]

better late than never

[sharp marten]

What’s wrong with defending the game?

[royal trail]

[copper ice]

they removed half the door panels a little while ago because the average player didn't know how to use them
shooting explosives also does this and you cant hack grenades or any of the relevant explosives
the area spot is nice but casper does that through seeing everything in the first place
judging by the amount of times i got random wallhax from a rao in my squad (i can count it on one finger) this doesn't happen very often
if im getting shot at in 2042 im often dead before that intel is relevant
all vehicles can pop smoke/flares before they get hacked to negate laser designation, and with boris/crawford still not being buffed most engies are running lis and she can't lock on to laser designation in the first place
tugs is great yeah but you could be using any of the better recons for that
pretty sure the cover is fresh now with zain and lis and casper

[proper vapor]

Nothing

[rocky kraken]

anyone else think that portal needs some content?

[patent lion]

yes, but I won't applaud them for introducing features 1,5 years after launch when it should've been there from the start

[rocky kraken]

with year 2?

[placid pecan]

portal needs to ban bots and have some decent servers and be accessible through play now

[copper ice]

plans that were cancelled because it flopped describes all of 2042

[acoustic seal]

portal needs to be jettisoned and all the xp farm server/1000% damage players banned

[stone cradle]

Waiting for Kaleidoscope to get re-re-worked

[frail sparrow]

they should just stop releasing the game and put it on gamepass and sell it standalone for 5 bucks. cause everytime they cancel live service for a bf game it's 1.0 essentially xD

[vale tusk]

Lol you'll be waiting awhile

[copper ice]

3 guns this update, two of them are straight advertised as your favourites from bf4, rpg is a vault gadget, no vehicles, anti tank and mini grenades are both from previous games

this update is just sticking old shit into the game

and removing overpowered shit after 2 years

[thick shadow]

Wtf how????

[willow sky]

rao and blasco are really the best

[jovial jay]

How did that even get there lmao

[frail sparrow]

psht, they've been doing this the entire dev cycle! litterally every update was just reworks and adding "legacy" features older battlefield games already had xD

[stone cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/lunch_vertical-lunch-vertical-routematch-gif-14775595

[pine roost]

and finally fixing one of the longest standing gripes with transport vehicles. Which itself doesn't address the choppers

[stone cradle]

1 more star left

[copper ice]

yeah but at least they pretended to add new shit with vehicles and fancy weapons and stuff
This is Literally just old stuff

[thick shadow]

Bro how does that answer my question???? Part of me feels satisfied with this answer and the other part just wants to die

[copper ice]

Nothing in this update wasn't in an older bf asides from the new sniper

[stone cradle]

my first starboard pin

[still vault]

⭐ STARBOARD ACHIEVED ⭐

[frail sparrow]

that';s true

[pine roost]

I haven't seen a starboard post for ages

[jovial jay]

Eh just kick the 40mm nade in the nut for the Hind, without it the hindsquad must relies on aiming, which those sweat lords will definitely heat up their house doing do

[stone cradle]

Around S2 time I think, there were multiple texture issues

Especially around Kaleidoscope

[copper ice]

Which is great! And took way way way way way too long to do!

[stone cradle]

Sometimes in certain perspectives you would see buildings flying in the map

[hard plume]

Yay

[stone cradle]

Or in my case, an entire shipping freighter

[chilly jacinth]

i once had an entire skyscraper spin around in a tornado on kaleidoscope

[hard plume]

Fucking climate change man

[jovial jay]

Wow

[pine roost]

I have no idea why that stuff happens, I get it every now and then, but I hope it stays

funny as heck

[jovial jay]

You guys are getting visually cool bugs?

[copper ice]

The vault weapons aren't even all being given attachments at once, have to wait for the smgs and pistols

[stone cradle]

Climate Change endangering the skyscraper species

[copper ice]

game releases bad and then does its best to slowly morph into a worse bf4

[mental delta]

Lol yes they just basically told all remaining players to fuck off

[thick shadow]

The fact you compare 2042 with bf4 is just beyond my expectations

[copper ice]

2042 keeps trying to be bf4

[stone cradle]

Another example

It seemed to be exclusive to Kaleidoscope

[acoustic seal]

the fuck else is there to compare it to?

[pine roost]

one thing about this season that I don't understand is that they advertise the new sniper as having many different attachments you can switch to on the fly... like every other gun?

[copper ice]

i didn't say it was succeeding

i said it was trying

[thick shadow]

Nah dawg don't compare 2042 with bf4 please

[sharp marten]

New vehicle drop?

[rocky kraken]

dice should update dlss

to new version

[stone cradle]

Got this one from reddit

[thick shadow]

Bf4 is one of its kind

[acoustic seal]

bf4 is one of a kind (buggier bf3)

[stone cradle]

Leaked building skin for bird

[sharp marten]

[copper ice]

bf4 is one of a kind (had more future tech than a game set in 2048)

[next onyx]

Oop wrong chat.

[vale tusk]

What you talking bout willis? Ain't nothing weird going on in that clip 😂😂

[fading mirage]

not a bad thing 🤷‍♂️

[thick shadow]

Bf4 went to the future tech with the final stand dlc

Who doesnt like a railgun and hovering tank

[stone cradle]

[copper ice]

2042 went to the future with the base game and then tried it's very hardest to pretend it was just in bf4

[thick shadow]

Near future*

[copper ice]

they have absolutely wasted the setting

[stone cradle]

Dancing skyscrapers

[copper ice]

these bugs are terrifying

man the game really did just launch that badly

[frail sparrow]

i dont get how dice went from an excellent gameplay foundation from bfv but with thematically flawed dressup to a thematically fine (if we don't include the tonedeaf personalities of the specialists at launch) dressup but completely off the rails bad gameplay foundation. I thought they had learned from bfv on how they should handle a live service and that the end of that service showed that adding actual content makes it a good time instead of new experimental modes like firestorm or focusing too heavily on fixes/reworks that isn't going to please anyone. with 2042, They've been doubling down completely on fixing and reworking and pretty much said "nah, content doesn't belong in a live service"

[stone cradle]

No this was during S2

[copper ice]

during season 2... dude....

[jovial jay]

Dr. Strange having some mad fight

[copper ice]

It reads heavy to me like they expected all the "old" fans or anyone who expected an actual decent game to go to portal and everyone else (dumb walking wallets) to hit matchmaking and eat the 2042 slop

[thick shadow]

I personally will never believe that this game took years to make, its just not optimised and rushed. You can see it by the quality of animations and such

[copper ice]

conceptually a perfect mix for maximum profit

[lone void]

Yo how many Boins is a battle pass

[copper ice]

apart from they really, really fucked it up

[lone void]

Asking for a friend

[jovial jay]

The worst(?) Bug I got was falling beneath the floor of hourglass, I can see everyone from above while swimming below and just constantly ping them

It would be so broken if I can shoot through the floor tho

[frail sparrow]

but then why drop portal SO damn fast then? if they continued adding maps and weapons from old bfs to that, that would've been an excellent compromise for sure.

[next onyx]

Worst bug I got huh.

There were so many at launch I can't remember.

[copper ice]

because they fucked release up so hard they immediately damage controlled which included taking devs off the profit i imagine

[fading mirage]

was this video clipped at launch?

[stone cradle]

I mean no update is going to go completely smoothly

[next onyx]

That's post.

[stone cradle]

[copper ice]

had to resort to fixing the game instead of actually adding shit to it

[stone cradle]

Like I said, after S2

[jovial jay]

Was the 30mm exploding beneath your feet slowing you down a bug

[copper ice]

season 2 for that is remarkable

[jovial jay]

Or was it a feature

[pine roost]

bug

[trail prawn]

new hourglass rework looks like the future best map in the game

[stone cradle]

Also when I took that freighter pic

[dapper river]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-skill-issue-gif-21867945

[pine roost]

although there have been a fair few occasions where they say something is a bug but it feels like it's just to hide actual features that didn't work out

[thick shadow]

When backflip feature coming

[stone cradle]

Already available

For ranger

[thick shadow]

How

[stone cradle]

If you pet it, it does a backflip

And plays music

Easter egg

[fading mirage]

lmao

[misty briar]

what kind of music

[stone cradle]

You have to crouch while petting it too

[thick shadow]

It doesnt even work for me anymore when i try to pet

[misty briar]

i want it to play erika

[jovial jay]

Does ranger actually net you kills

[stone cradle]

Idk I think it's some swede song

[jovial jay]

I rarely use it

[fading mirage]

hold e

[thick shadow]

Im ps5

[fading mirage]

oh

[thick shadow]

Maybebi was just standing all rhe time

This keyboard

[copper ice]

You didn't even include the rao hack through smoke!! That's his only good feature!!!

[misty briar]

hold the button that ps5 uses for E

[stone cradle]

Hold X or whatever's left on the shape buttons

[pine roost]

hold the controller sideways and do a revolver spin like Ocelot

[misty briar]

[dusk falcon]

casper>rao

[jovial jay]

Doggo be running away from me everytime I approach him

[dusk falcon]

anyways less go theyre not killing this game

[jovial jay]

[copper ice]

It has horrible spread so it hits nothing beyond 10 metres away but if people get up close it'll shred them
the issue is getting it to actually move close to people

[dusk falcon]

but...but... cute robot dog

[fading mirage]

i know I was so happy when they announced it

[copper ice]

i got downed once and flew forwards through the air toward an enemy squad and my ranger ran directly into them and killed them all in about 3 seconds

[jovial jay]

Wow

[dusk falcon]

rangers save lives

[jovial jay]

I dont remember dieing to any rangers tbh

[copper ice]

prior to that it hadn't even assisted me with kills because it had missed literally every shot

[jovial jay]

They appear like once per match

[stone cradle]

You have to come infront of it

[copper ice]

view the ranger as a chainsaw

it doesnt have a gun, it has a fist

if they get within fist range they die

if they dont its useless

[jovial jay]

Or let me just assume control of it for a limited duration

[copper ice]

rao hack to manually control ranger

[jovial jay]

Before game release that was what I thought the drone would be

[dusk falcon]

the ranger should have multiple classes like how bfv classes worked

[jovial jay]

For real?

[frail sparrow]

if they don't use your boomstick

[copper ice]

i wish

[jovial jay]

Oof

[dusk falcon]

it disables the ranger

[copper ice]

If game was actually updated we might have gotten more drones

Like we were supposed to :^)

[next sorrel]

new season after season 5?

[dusk falcon]

which is better than unloading a whole mag on it

[dusk falcon]

doubt it, dice will defo not put in that much effort

[next sorrel]

oh what did they say in the video

[stone cradle]

they didn't outright confirm it

[dusk falcon]

new map
new guns
vault weapons can actually be good now
hourglass rework
content after season 5 will exist

[stone cradle]

but they said they have more content planned that they'll give more details on later

so idk maybe no more seasons but occasional content drops

[dusk falcon]

until the release of the new game

[copper ice]

they had a lot of content planned when game released

[dusk falcon]

but i think theyll stick to seasons since it generates more income

[honest kernel]

Huh I can’t get online right now

[sharp marten]

Which is like 2 years away

[copper ice]

:^)

[dusk falcon]

like its ea guys cmon

theyll still do battle passes

[copper ice]

darius is right

people buy battle passes more than anything else

[rocky kraken]

didnt they mention weapon stations?

[dusk falcon]

the aa ones?

good addition

[copper ice]

they mentioned the aa guns

[rocky kraken]

they said weapon stations so

[copper ice]

heavy stationary weapons or something they called them

[sharp trout]

what is best way to level up in bf

[dusk falcon]

shame theyre player controlled should be automated

[rocky kraken]

maybe they will add more weapon stations

like machine guns and stuff

[stone cradle]

idk it could release as soon as next year tbh

[sharp trout]

any specific gamemode or class?

[dusk falcon]

legit way: conquest and PTFO

not legit way: portal boosting servers

[copper ice]

this is called "hope"
it will only hurt you

[rocky kraken]

i mean

i hoped for future content

and it worked

[copper ice]

if they were going to add stationary weapons they'd have done it when they remade every single map

they're not gonna do it twice

[stone cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-depressed-wojak-wojak-smoking-grim-gif-24195546

[sharp trout]

ah i already do legit way i guess

[rocky kraken]

not really

[sharp trout]

whats portal servers tho?

[rocky kraken]

they are just assets

they could just put them on maps

[copper ice]

those assets have been in the game since the start

[rocky kraken]

maybe there waiting?

[dusk falcon]

theyre those "50000 EXP 20 MINUTE MATCH FLY CLOCKWISE" servers

[copper ice]

there is literally no reason they couldn't have put the stationary weapons that exist in portal maps onto 2042 naps

[jovial jay]

Aw man, dont take any copium for 2042, its a lost cause, not even good at its core, this is not like battlefront 2 where the progression was the culprit

[copper ice]

but they didn't

[sharp trout]

is it banable

[rocky kraken]

because portal stationarys are ass

thats why

[vale tusk]

You know what they should really implement??? When a falck main goes down, waiting for a revive, she should be able to heal with her stim pistol to the allies that needs healing. Like similar in bfv

[dusk falcon]

its been here since season 3 so no

[sick eagle]

60mm is good

[copper ice]

no fucking way

[sharp trout]

dope ty

[vale tusk]

Lol too much?

[rocky kraken]

i mean

idk

[jovial jay]

Lmao this should have been added, but make it one time use, and you get up with like 30 hp

[copper ice]

i liked the TOW stationary on portal maps

[next onyx]

I am suddenly not so stressed anymore getting the sniper done.

The ranges seem good.

[copper ice]

it would be perfect for 2042

[jovial jay]

Falck forgot she's a field medic when she got shot

[copper ice]

it is not in 2042

devs along the line decided putting content they have already made into the base maps is a bad idea despite redoing literally all their maps

so we're just not gonna get stationary AT weapons

[jovial jay]

How hard it is to edit some TOW into the main maps tho

[copper ice]

i'd love to hear the justification for that decision

[vale tusk]

I'm not meaning revive them. I mean while she is down, she has the ability to shoot her stim to heal those that are up and around that have low health

[copper ice]

would really love to hear it

[worthy elbow]

Grandma falck needs Mackay's grapple

[patent prism]

TOW... Pfft, I much prefer BILL 2.

[sharp marten]

Possibly yeah

[stone cradle]

year 1 pass owners getting shafted hard with this skin 💀

[copper ice]

knowing dice its either very easy and they haven't done it because of Reasons
or its fucking impossible because frostbite is coded with prayers and ritual sacrifice

[jovial jay]

Diver gear or something

[stone cradle]

diver gear but you can't dive in this game

DICE logic

[jovial jay]

Lmao

[next onyx]

Cheese.

[copper ice]

replaces the wingsuit with sundance doing breaststroke in the air

[jovial jay]

Also the new CIWS is huge and seems like it cover only one obj

Since the map is small it might actually work for other objs tho

[mental delta]

The type of skin you would get in a game which features naval fights

A real chance BF2042 has naval maps

[stone cradle]

I mean, she already has a surfing mode

[mental delta]

I can't imagine how this game would be without naval combat feature

[stone cradle]

[jovial jay]

Well its like... What it is now

[copper ice]

[jovial jay]

MAV, hovercraft...

No wahtah

No big army for fights like Zeebrugge or Heligoland Bights

[mental delta]

Don't come with your bad faith to me, Kaleidoscope, Manifest and Discarded all have water

[copper ice]

i think a pretty big part of discarded is the Lack of water

not that i necessarily disagree, but, like,

[austere pewter]

sooo with Season 5 will the party limit get increased from max 4 players? It's a bitch to get into a game with more than 4 players atm

[jovial jay]

They could just bring in a modern Cape Helles or Fao Fortress in with the Exodus destroyer

[stone cradle]

damn, discarded has water?

[worthy elbow]

Discarded with a tsunami event

[stone cradle]

Do you have access to the leaked re-re-work?

[mental delta]

Yeah muddy water

[arctic grove]

but thats like ankle depth

[mental delta]

Bring boats first and then we talk

[copper ice]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/808062739149881394/1113128937053237294/Bolt_action.mp4

can we get the snipers firing with this bolt action speed thanks

[lilac dust]

"More Content beyond Season 5" .... GULP ....... please be more maps

[mental delta]

They also said in the trailer that something would be destroyable on Hourglass, I guess it will just be like the said destroyable building on Flashpoint

[jovial jay]

Of course glance at old bf4 maps

[mental delta]

BRUTAL EXPECTATIONS

[sharp marten]

Ironic

You thought there’d be no more content after s5

[stone cradle]

I like the size of the map

Idk how it will do on 128 though

[mental delta]

Hahaha no I said that I wasn't seeing them making further seasons after season 5, it's a bit different

[jovial jay]

Total chaos

[arctic grove]

i wonder what the breakthrough layout will be

[calm bison]

If that isn’t Zavod idk what is

[lament plank]

wow cool another linear map with ONE point in the mid controlled by C, that if you just bypass and go capture the next points you win...gee i wonder where we have seen that before?????

[calm bison]

Battlefield 4

[mental delta]

@sharp marten Anyway don't expect a new additionnal year of content or way more maps, I'd see them making few content drops but that's all

[calm bison]

Does someone have a picture of the Zavod spawn screen?

[lament plank]

hmmmm was more thinking Stranded...and Spearhead...where C is controlled by 2 points, that are easily flanked and completely ignored.

[dusk falcon]

they went for the stranded layout

[lament plank]

its disgusting that we have had 3 maps out of 5 seasons that all boil down to this poor design

and they wonder why people are "toxic" about the game

[calm bison]

Except this is literally Zavod, one of the best maps from Battlefield 4

Apparently this design works

[dapper river]

for what purpose would you need diving gear and a wingsuit? you gonna fall through the water into the minecraft void?

[mental delta]

Stranded is badly designed to me but Spearhead is interesting, even if it's linear it's better designed and way more playable

[stone cradle]

oh nvm this is the conq 64 one

[lament plank]

zavod at least had seperate points in the middle to control it. so you could control one building and not the other and still keep a majority if you went and capped deeper in on one flank or the other. AND Bf4 had levolution which is way better than some stupid tornado

[calm bison]

Except this map has only one sector with two objectives in it

[mental delta]

Because the game has naval combat and diving gear is essnetial to the success of naval operations

[calm bison]

So you can still do what you mentioned with Zavod

[lament plank]

spearhead would be fine if they widened the middle so you could actually flank around C, not have to drive through them basically to get to other side of map, getting completely locked in. And of course the majority of player base just turning C into a meat grinder doesnt help

[arctic grove]

how about they do graveyard shift but with reclaimed instead, since its so close to zavod

[mental delta]

The middle of the map is badly designed and the rest of the map absurdly lacks covers yes, the fact you have to go through C with ground vehicles each time you want to cross the map makes you get killed 50% of the time

[vale tusk]

@calm bison just wanted to say, love your profile pic. Dr. Pepper is the best. Love to see it

[lament plank]

i mean also considering that one team has an objective fully inside a building while the other side has two open exposed ones, that one can easily retake vs one team having to deal with campers inside a buildign really shows its pathetic attempts at map design. you want a linear, boxed, mirrored map A1 should have a comparable building.

overall, spearhead is trash and needs a rework, soon theyll be bragging in a video that oh yeah all season maps are reworked just like they did in todays video.

[calm bison]

Thanks bro. Keep it going

IDK I feel like Spearhead plays just fine

Maybe it’s just because I tend to back-cap but it plays just fine

[drowsy shuttle]

wait we already have some images about Hourglass rework?

[calm bison]

Compared to Flashpoint Spearhead is amazing

[hybrid totem]

you know if DICE wants to reduce toxicity, they shoul censor "EZ"

[vale tusk]

Lol did you not see the trailer?

[drowsy shuttle]

no

[vale tusk]

Check it

[drowsy shuttle]

i'm watching it out, didn't even knew there was a new trailer lol

[lament plank]

again. look at E1 vs A1 and tell me whats the easier one to capture/retake. which one can a condor/hind hover over and take? because its not both.

[drowsy shuttle]

i mean i watched season 5 trailer... not the development update video

[calm bison]

I mean both can hover it, except on E1 the hind and condors are slightly protected from ground fire

[vale tusk]

Well idk what I watched but it had it in it lol @drowsy shuttle

[lament plank]

but cant be capped by them. also cant get heavy armor onto E1 for cap. or a MAV. a brawler if you sit and do 10 point turns for 5 min to get inside. how stuff like this made it into a live map is just mind boggling

[drowsy shuttle]

the season 5 trailer that came out last friday only had like 1 second of an image of hourglass.. but apparentely today came out the development update video

[calm bison]

Except that E1 had a lot of small spaces that players can hide in and shoot you from. A1 just has vehicle access. Both are equally hard to capture because they’re the gimme flags. Someone will always respond

[vale tusk]

Yeah, that's what I watched. Check it. It's niceeee

[calm bison]

And you really shouldn’t be capping objectives by yourself

[lament plank]

yes, which is why when RU caps E1 it is such a pain, and unbalanced to re cap. where as A1, they can literally just drive heavy vehicles into it, and get a lot of people onto it. not having to worry about someone camping in the automatic doorways

[lament plank]

ha. yes, if only majority of teams actually worked together to recap objectives connected to your uncap. wouldnt that be a sight.

[mental delta]

Not the worst map but it clearly has problems concerning its symetric aspect, they wanted a linear which supposed it to be balanced for both sides but once a team captured the best points it's difficult to take them back

[calm bison]

Except more often than not they do. Whenever I fly a hind or condor over to the gimmes usually people will spawn on them and jump out because they’re behind enemy lines and can be a nuisance

Often I find myself capping those gimmes with blueberries or squadmates

[lament plank]

and dont even get me started on how utterly broken spearhead is for BT...jfc whoever thought C should be 2 points needs to have a talk with their manager

ah well, must be nice to luck into good teamates that understand the game. 85% of my games dont.

[calm bison]

I mean I have crossplay on so IDK

But I’m on Xbox

Generally speaking the population here ain’t the smartest

[lament plank]

yeah, we all have crossplay. because if you turn it off on PC, guess what, you dont get matches. even on launch day. we are being FORCED to play crossplay.

they can say all they want its optional

[sick eagle]

why are jets faster on pc

[calm bison]

I don’t really get the complaint about crossplay in a game like battlefield

When there are so many ways to dispose of enemies at your disposal

[lament plank]

do you have a keyboard plugged into your xbox for communication with a team since you can only voice to a squad?

[calm bison]

No

[lament plank]

there you go

[calm bison]

But why would I need to

Bombs don’t discriminate against keyboards and controllers

[lament plank]

if i only want to play with PC players, who at least have a better option for team communication than none, id rather that.

but i cant. we are forced into crossplay by a bad server allocation algorithm that only fills PC only games to 40% then stops loading people in.

[calm bison]

While I do prefer playing with friends we’ll usually be on an Xbox party coordinating with each other. Also can’t you join an Xbox party on PC since most if not all of them run on windows?

[sharp marten]

BRUTAL EXPECTATIONS

[lament plank]

i wouldnt say my total issue is playing with console players, more the FORCED aspect of it while dice keeps lying saying its optional.

[drowsy shuttle]

okay, so... Hourglass looks fire! but.. they removed the stadium? its just like part of the background decoration, or they plan to show us more further down the road near the release of the map?

[hybrid totem]

it is optional, you just don't like the options

[gleaming oriole]

My issue was the refusal of allowing console players native keyboard and mouse support. If youre going to force Crossplay between PC and console then everyone should have the same input options

[dapper river]

come on, they're not that thin-skinned, they're not Overwatch devs

[lament plank]

....my option is play the game, or dont get to play the game because of poorly written and designed programming. yes youre right i DO NOT LIKE THE OPTION WHERE THE GAME I PAID MONEY FOR SAYS I CANT PLAY
