battlefield-2042

[fallen coral]

i thought i was in the war

in 2042

[fresh lintel]

Artstyle > Graphics

But in this case its just.. Poorly managed game that was abandoned for 6 months

[fallen coral]

Yeah

honestly, you've been making great points Melancholy

@errant scarabbro you're so good at battlefield

[errant scarab]

yes i kill jets with snipers

[fresh lintel]

And just to say, Deep Rock Galactic and Risk of Rain 2 are both graphically inferior games (compared to alot of games that go for realism like BF1 and Ragnarok)

But both of those games are genuinely phenomenal must plays.

But they also look good

With less mind you

[arctic grove]

artstyle was chasing 2042

but 2042 was too quick

[fallen coral]

bro I hate bf2042

Bf5 is way better

[errant scarab]

firestorm is better

[fallen coral]

Fr

[arctic grove]

instead 2042 looks like a game with zero artstyle and just relies on the possibilities of the engine

[kindred flint]

FS is most certainly not better

[errant scarab]

run crouched, raise your arm to reach a wall... f***** mechanics of a battlefield

[fresh lintel]

Possibilities but it doesnt push the engine.

[snow estuary]

Add jetpacks to battlefield like in cod

[errant scarab]

add slide cancel

[fresh lintel]

It can look nice and the weather effects are great (if sometimes underused or annoying)

No please

[snow estuary]

Isnt there a movement glitch with sliding?

[kindred flint]

what if...remove sliding all together?

[fresh lintel]

Keep that CoD slide cancel garbage out of my battlefield

[snow estuary]

Y would u do that

More movement is better

[kindred flint]

the netcode is janky enough

[arctic grove]

like they dont try to make the game look pretty, they just slap the map together and hope it looks good with a shit ton of post procession and engine features

[errant scarab]

keep tactical sprint out of my battlefield

[fickle obsidian]

[snow estuary]

Tactical sprint is awful

It just replaced regular sprint

With worse Sprint to Aim stats

[fresh lintel]

I'd rather Tac Sprint over "Haha look at me zip zoom around people and not die haha"

[errant scarab]

and add bullet spread

[snow estuary]

That too

I miss bullet sprrad

God dmanit I misspelled

AGAIN

[errant scarab]

show your skill if u want kill players

no more arcade things

[fresh lintel]

I can by positioning and aiming better

Not by playing Unreal Fucking Tournament lmoa

[snow estuary]

Like me spraying someone down with a 900 rpm M5 at 30m is ridiculous 😂😂

[errant scarab]

Improve Weapons animations, COD is top

[snow estuary]

i dont think theyre thay bad tbh

[errant scarab]

no more robotic animations

[snow estuary]

Some could deffo use a rework

[fresh lintel]

CoD is the least competitive garbage out there

Low TTKs isnt competitive.

[cobalt mortar]

Is it possible to still get all weap unlocks in bot battles?

[kindred flint]

yes

[errant scarab]

the only thing that i like about cod is animations.... that thing destroy bf sorry

[fresh lintel]

Especially when I can use a sniper and point snd click on someones shoulder to kill them instantly with no downside.

[snow estuary]

definitely

Cod animations r no joke

[fresh lintel]

Thats the only upside.

[snow estuary]

Remember when they re used the ak reload for like 10 years

😂

[errant scarab]

do you realize that like 50% weapons have the same reload animations?

[snow estuary]

Which game

Cod?

[errant scarab]

2042

i have video

[snow estuary]

Send

[errant scarab]

wait let me find it

[fresh lintel]

Too be fair its hard to make guns animations different because.. Yknow

Theyre guns.

They all share similar ways to reload

[errant scarab]

i want ur opinion

[snow estuary]

Tbh that cm901 reload in mw3 was sick asf

[hybrid totem]

no no each gun must have unique animations or my immersion will be ruined

[fresh lintel]

Some different but its just put mag into hole

Pull handle

[snow estuary]

I will give u FAX instead

wait i just remembered why i couldnt get into bfv

For some reaosn my pc cant run it above 80 fps

[fresh lintel]

If you're going to do unique animations I want Alliance of Valiant arms level of reloads

Lemme flip my magazine and then do a reach around

[snow estuary]

Never bothered to fix it

Reach around 😂😂

[fallen coral]

@errant scarabYou're so good at battlefield

[fresh lintel]

I stand by what I said 😤

[copper ice]

try 80m

[snow estuary]

I will

And you know what else

Ill do with my trusty pp

Pp19

[copper ice]

[kindred flint]

Is 30m supposed to be long range or something?

[fresh lintel]

Thats what we consider

[kindred flint]

i mean sure if youre using a shotgun but ...an ar?

[fresh lintel]

Yes

[snow estuary]

Honestly I just pulled a number out of my ass

Point is i can easily laser people on this game with mnk

No spread and no recoil with a 900rpm weapon??

Bonkerz

[errant scarab]

i get it

[fresh lintel]

And I can kinda laser people on console with the mighty PP19

[kindred flint]

so...just like the last 3 BF games then, shocking

[fervent rose]

and anyone with a controller can do it too, they get 33% recoil reduction

[snow estuary]

They do?

[fresh lintel]

Ye

[fervent rose]

plug it in on pc, minus 33% recoil

[snow estuary]

The last battlefield i played on console was bfv lol

[fervent rose]

just shoot a wall to test it if you dont believe

[copper ice]

surely thats... not how that works

[fresh lintel]

I dont think we get recoil reductions on other titles though

[fervent rose]

it do be tho

[snow estuary]

LMAO THE FIRST THING I DID ON BF4 PC WAS THE FAMAS WITH THE STUBBY GRIP AND HEAVY BARREL

SO MUCH RECOIL

[copper ice]

no fucking way

[fervent rose]

you get all the same assists on pc with controller afaik

[fallen coral]

who wants to play among us with me bro

[fresh lintel]

Its also why Ximmers need to fucking go

[copper ice]

crossplay was a mistake

[snow estuary]

XIMMERS

[fallen coral]

I want to play among us

[snow estuary]

so glad siege screwed over ximmers

[fallen coral]

who wants to join

[snow estuary]

rare ubisoft w

[errant scarab]

@snow estuary dm

[fallen coral]

yeah, all of their games are on geforce now also

[copper ice]

ximmers make no difference in 2042 because nothing has recoil

[fresh lintel]

I hope Microsoft follows suit because god I fucking hate seeing them on Last gens

[fallen coral]

thats another ubisoft W

Ubisoft is actually my favorite game developer

[snow estuary]

Mhm mhm un momento, just parking my car

[fresh lintel]

The difference they make is minor but its enough to catch you off guard and possibly lose you engagements

[fallen coral]

all of their games have been pretty good

for honor

siege

watch dogs

far cry too

[fresh lintel]

I started playing For Honor and i'm too afraid to play against other players lmao

[fallen coral]

all of those are masterpieces in their own sense

[fallen coral]

ye

[fresh lintel]

Far Cry died with 2 for me

[fallen coral]

thats my least favorite of the 4

but its good

watch dogs is my most favorite

[fresh lintel]

My favourite Farcry was the original and the.. Remake? Expansion? Whatever it is.

[fallen coral]

ubisoft is my 2nd favorite developer actually

my first favorite developer is innersloth

they made among us

Among us is the best game of all time

[kindred flint]

holy shit someone just bodied me with an m39 like he must have had no recoil...

[hybrid totem]

dude this isn't 2042 chat wyd

[snow estuary]

Also is it just me or is sniping easier

In this game

[copper ice]

Everything is easier in this game

[snow estuary]

Ik

[copper ice]

I actually find sniping harder due to lack of cover

[snow estuary]

But istg

[kindred flint]

why use a bolt action when you can use a full auto?

[snow estuary]

LMAO

bro I just want a new scope

That red block + SUCKS

[kindred flint]

scopes are shit

[copper ice]

enemies can shoot back at snipers from any range and there's less cover to shoot people from

[kindred flint]

scopes make morons think they are chris kyle

[queen whale]

what ars and smgs are good

[copper ice]

all ars

[snow estuary]

I want the vector so bad

[copper ice]

smgs are PBX with close combat ammo (its broken and the best option right now) for within 20m, pp-19 for any range, ac9 for spray and pray

vector is poo unfortunately

[snow estuary]

I can fix her

Why is it ass

[queen whale]

does that include portal weapons?

[copper ice]

..not exactly, some are good some are awful

m16 is very good

[queen whale]

what portal weapons are good

hopfully the ak74u

[copper ice]

not sure outside of m16

[queen whale]

ok

[frosty flint]

Am i insane or is the SWS with close combat faster RPM WITHOUT short barrel?

[karmic egret]

Hmmmm thus new season shaping up to be pretty gud

[copper ice]

iirc short barrel on sws is bughed

[copper ice]

check the google docs in the pinned messages

[frosty flint]

ok then i'm likely right

[copper ice]

yeah according to the spreadsheet short barrel with CC slows you down instead of increasing rof

and has done so since the game has been released

devs havent fixed it

[fervent rose]

no some vault ARs right now are really bad like acwr

[queen whale]

is the ak74u ok

[errant scarab]

why like 70% weapons have the same reload animation

[kindred flint]

29-3 with blasco and the xm8..won by 650 on flashpoint the enemy team didnt even show up that match

[snow sandal]

Are the servers offline currently?

[topaz breach]

Close range it's pretty solid

[frosty flint]

Also AP rounds seem to give extra velocity

O.O

might be just human error but it damn sure looks like they are flying stragither

[snow estuary]

LMAO YOU CAN PUT LAUNCHERS ON THE SNIPER??

bro im so down to run around with a pocket shotgun on my sniper

[kindred flint]

only the sws?

[snow estuary]

only the sws?

eh

still funny asf

[kindred flint]

i dont think the dxr? can

[snow estuary]

nah just a bipod

bro thats fucking hilarious

i was getting flanked by a mf with a shotgun the other day too

now i can be like "surprise mothafucka"

[kindred flint]

but thats what the super 500 is for

[snow estuary]

just unlocked it lol

[arctic grove]

Which do yall think is better

SVK or DM7

[edgy oriole]

svk but since they fixed the dm7 its okay to use

[kindred flint]

svk has absolutely pathetic ammo reserves...which holds it back

[upbeat sand]

Ooo there's gonna be saved squad member xp now

[stoic berry]

DM7 have a faster fire rate but if you start spamming, the accuracy is totally random and has less damage then the svk

[kindred flint]

the true answer between svk and dm7 is just bsvm

[arctic grove]

Kinda like the AM40 thats what I hate about it

[upbeat sand]

Vcar

[arctic grove]

Yeah i prefer the SVK

[arctic grove]

💀

i think the mcs could be better than that

[upbeat sand]

Vcar

[stoic berry]

svk > vcar > dm7

[arctic grove]

Isnt the Vcar shit rn

like worse then the mcs

[upbeat sand]

If you can't kill shit then sue the standard issue

[snow sandal]

Could someone please let me know if the servers are down currently or not? Thank you.

[upbeat sand]

Vcar 3 shots and cqc

[edgy oriole]

vcar has always been a sleeper gun.

[stoic berry]

omg the mcs is absolute garbage, worst than the super 500 which is a secondary weapon BTW???????????

[upbeat sand]

I think it's just the spread which is the problem

Everything is good

But spread

[kindred flint]

but its just not worth using for the effort

[arctic grove]

ehh i prefer the svk lmao

[snow sandal]

... cheers guys

[arctic grove]

Yeah that's crazy fr

[upbeat sand]

Gvt

Better than sniper

[arctic grove]

i dont rly use it

NTW >

[stoic berry]

the low damage the the hit reg totally random make the gun unusable

[arctic grove]

The only reason why i actually used the mcs one time is cuz it looked cool 💀

[stoic berry]

the hit reg with the MCS vs bots

c 174 hits , s hits 91

50% hit reg LOL

[warm stirrup]

New map is 64 players only

[karmic egret]

No transports or jets

DICE is finally returning to form

With vehicle restrictions

[warm stirrup]

Guess zavod couldn't be done in 128 player version

[karmic egret]

MASSIVE W FOR DICE

[kindred flint]

holy shit they literally made a map designed for 64??

[karmic egret]

it's too small

[kindred flint]

instead of just making the same map for both player counts

[karmic egret]

They now realise 128p was a mistake

We can still play it in exodus and 64p conquest

Which is mainly what I play

[kindred flint]

64p is the objectively more fun mode imo

because dice cant balance shit

[warm stirrup]

Can already see portal servers 128p reclaimed

[karmic egret]

As XP grinders

[frosty flint]

128 player TDM

goated gamemode

trust

[karmic egret]

Have you tried putting 128p on the very smol version of stranded

Its fucking chaos

[edgy oriole]

i just want bt in portal

so i can have fun again

[warm stirrup]

I was hosting an Infantry Breakthrough server in portal. 128 players. If interested?

[edgy oriole]

no i want official. with vehicles like before.

i want bt to return to its glory

[warm stirrup]

I also have breakthrough with vehicles for both teams

[kindred flint]

bt was only fun when i could farm hit markers with arty strikes

[stiff pollen]

They realized now they can ship two maps a season if they’re made for 64 players

Too bad they figured it out when all the devs got moved to BF2025

[kindred flint]

and they wont learn anything from 2042

[edgy oriole]

i think 2042 was good experience for them

[stiff pollen]

No they’ll just throw everything out from 2042, both the good and bad

Like how the complaints with BFV lead them to throw out everything

Even tho BFV had some good

[edgy oriole]

they better not waste time and resources making it on decade old tech this time tho

"hey i have an idea. lets have this HUGE idea for 2042 on this NEW tech that we have access too. also lets waste a bunch of time and limit ourself so we can sell it on console made in 2012"

[stiff pollen]

Tbf the majority of console owners were still on said last gen hardware

Heck the majority of pc users were on 10 series cards

It doesn’t help tho that the next gen version of the game was worse

[drowsy shuttle]

G36c only at lvl 28 on the battlepass? ahn, so maybe won't be OP...

oh its the Deagle at lvl 40 okay.. here it is lol

[kindred flint]

lmao, legit hand cannon incoming?

[carmine rover]

meow

[drowsy shuttle]

the player card at lvl 84 will be the official player card of the sweats and try harders

[stiff pollen]

After glock gets nerfed deagle will likely be my go to

[upper sedge]

Is there a new update?

[drowsy shuttle]

nope

[warm stirrup]

Meow

[drowsy shuttle]

from what i saw blasco's skin is kinda cool, also the ones for the smg's mp9 and vector... altough the vector skin has too much red... the rest is meh or bad... for my taste ofc.

im sure lot of people will like.

[warm stirrup]

The scuba skin for year 1 owners tho....

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah not my style either

and sundance is my favourite operator

[warm stirrup]

Sundance swimming in the ocean in the sky

Wingsuit + scuba

[fresh cairn]

Shoulda been a “sorry the games shit here’s S5 for free”

Not a fuckkng scuba skin

[hybrid totem]

that would make no difference to their bottom line

[drowsy shuttle]

gifting the s5 for free maybe a bit too much, but yeah, they could've prepare something better than the scuba skin for sundance as a gift...

maybe a special and cooler skin that you could equip in all of the operators

[slender isle]

I’m more excited for the new weapons than the new map

[slender isle]

They’re getting people to buy the new BP to see if they’ll do a new season or not

[drowsy shuttle]

for me is Hourglass, its what keeps me very curious to play S5

[warm stirrup]

You see it's only 64 players?

[slender isle]

Yeah that’s why I’m not excited

I am not queuing into 64p conquest just to play that map

The other maps suck in it

[hybrid totem]

I wonder if the hourglass remake is gonna be 64p only

[slender isle]

Doubt it

[hybrid totem]

I had doubt that the new map would be 64p only as well, and yet...

[drowsy shuttle]

if the map is smaller, i don't see the issue of being only 64p...

[hybrid totem]

because people want 128p

[slender isle]

It might just be 128p and 64p like stranded

I don’t see why we can’t have the new map as 128p too. It may play like shit but I’d rather that then it be locked behind a weekly playlist

[drowsy shuttle]

well.. but like... if the map is smaller than the rest... 128p was probably too much and would mess with the flow and balance of the game...

[slender isle]

Don’t care

Wanna play

[hybrid totem]

the game was marketed and sold as a 128p game. The new map should have been designed and balanced for 128p

[drowsy shuttle]

okay i get it...

[slender isle]

They’ll do 128p rush but not 128p conquest

Dumb

[hybrid totem]

I usually don't say this but it really speaks volumes about the future of the franchise

[slender isle]

No matter how they market the game, shit can just change

It’s dumb

[drowsy shuttle]

i think the franchise will be fine... but bf 2042 i think its facing the final curtain

[slender isle]

I’d rather we stay with 128p and refine the tech rather than revert to almost 2 decades old technology

[hybrid totem]

I think the franchise will be fine too, and it's not like there's a suitable alternative so I doubt I'll go anywhere else. But damn I'm gonna be sad if they go backwards for the next installment

[drowsy shuttle]

well im basically a BT player... i rarely play conquest (only when BT servers are empty) and well... i got used to 64p servers... altough i miss and prefer 128p BT servers... but that will never come back again...

[slender isle]

Like my reasoning for why we didn’t get multiple maps in previous seasons was due to them being 128p and large. But now this? How tf do they make a small map like this and not do 2

Like that’s stupid

[hybrid totem]

It's hard to keep up with
brutal
expectations

[slender isle]

Half the player count and the same map count in a season

I’m all for 64p if they give more than 1 map

If not keep it 128p

[hybrid totem]

expecting the same quality is brutal

[slender isle]

It’s dumb

[hybrid totem]

"But you can play the 128p version in our even lesser played version, portal!"

[slender isle]

I’m like the biggest fan of 2042 you’ll find. But seriously? A 64p sized map and you can’t even do a second or even make it 128p?

That’s the dumbest thing this game has done

[drowsy shuttle]

the second map is hourglass

[warm stirrup]

Technically it's the 64p version but with 128 players

[slender isle]

In S3 we got manifest and breakaway

[hybrid totem]

Nice! Even worse

[slender isle]

Unless hourglass is this completely different map and is 128p focused then idk wtf they’re gonna do for S6

[drowsy shuttle]

but if im not mistaken, i think they said, hourglass would be the hardest map to rework... so maybe was that...

[slender isle]

Better be 2 64p maps or 1 138p map

[hybrid totem]

Honestly I don't think we're getting a season 6

[slender isle]

Hell, I’d rather it be terrible in 128p and it still be playable in that playlist then just be locked to 64p weekly rotation

[drowsy shuttle]

from what i saw in the last video that showed the modifications of Hourglass, looks fire.... i just wonder what happened to the Stadium... you only see it on the background, but they didn't mention any modifications to it...

[hybrid totem]

And you know what's dumber, is that since we can play it with 128p, DICE just decided to... not let us in the standard rotation

I wonder if there's a big enough uproar, will they allow it?

[slender isle]

Is gone

[slender isle]

I’ve DMd straat

I’m literally just 😡😡

[warm stirrup]

Technically it's just the 64p version but with 128 players

[hybrid totem]

Nice! Even worse.

[slender isle]

So is stranded, flashpoint, and spearhead

Your point is? Ahah

[warm stirrup]

True

[slender isle]

If they’re doing it for this one

Do it for stranded as well

[hybrid totem]

Not to mention there is no hind/condor

[slender isle]

Cause stranded plays terribly in 128p but oh no that’s fine to stay

Even though it’s the same size

[drowsy shuttle]

really?

[hybrid totem]

Which, overpoweredness aside, means there will be a ridiculous amount of locking teams to one side or the other

[slender isle]

Yes

[drowsy shuttle]

da fuq...

why they do that?

the stadium was really cool

[slender isle]

More assets for the rest of the map most likely

[kindred flint]

cant be having an infantry fighting area now

[slender isle]

That’s the underground but

[hybrid totem]

They really should have just thrown the stadium into the middle of the map

[slender isle]

Bit*

[slender isle]

Agreed

[hybrid totem]

Or even better made it the underground section. Stadium buried by sand? Awesome!

But no.

[drowsy shuttle]

damn removing the stadium was like removing part of the identity of the map...

[warm stirrup]

I hate sand. It's coarse and it gets everywhere.

[slender isle]

This season is shaping up to have amazing gameplay changes and good weapons and gadgets, but terrible maps

[hybrid totem]

I hate that reference. It's coarse and it's said everywhere.

[warm stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/i-hate-you-anakin-star-wars-gif-10358450

[drowsy shuttle]

i still believe Hourglass will be really cool and probbaly the best map of the OG maps... but i admit, losing the stadium is a bummer... but if the map plays good, then its alright

[slender isle]

Yeah I’m excited but we’ll have to see

I’m not excited for any of the maps anymore

[hybrid totem]

I was never really excited for any new seasons, but this is the first time I've ever been severely nonplussed.

They are actually making the game worse with this update

[warm stirrup]

Agreed

[hybrid totem]

c'est la DICE

[slender isle]

I mean, you know how there are those battlefield vets that think they know everything? Well I’m that but also a 2042 vet and I swear this is gonna fucking suck

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah feels a bit weird... but still need to wait and see the patchnotes

[slender isle]

Gonna just play 128p rush to see how good the map will play

[frail ravine]

hope they fix the blackout issue

I don't wanna keep restarting the game over and over again

after every round

[ivory vault]

Same lol epic rush servers are full blown chaos

[ivory vault]

yup

[errant scarab]

ji

[dapper river]

for me, it's because they're nerfing the anti-explosives guy while introducing four new explosives into the game
what r they doign??

[slender isle]

Love it tbh. Sad they got rid of 128p breakthrough, shit was so fun

[slender isle]

Yeah but those explosives replace other explosives so not much difference

[ivory vault]

according to DICE it was for hardware limitations, but rush xl is still rotation

[slender isle]

EXACTLY

[stiff pollen]

They didn’t even add in the stealth jet that was supposed to be able to carpet bomb the map at the flight ceiling 😭

[frail ravine]

Sounds too OP to fit in

[hybrid totem]

reducing explosive spam, duh

[frail ravine]

What's battlefield without explosive spam

[hybrid totem]

in true DICE fashion

[dapper river]

I dunno, a good game?

[frail ravine]

far from that

[copper fulcrum]

Pretty sure they said it was too chaotic and didn't flow well

But yeah a 128p Breakthrough should at least occasionally come in rotation since Rush XL does, only makes sense

[warm zealot]

Remove Hourglass now

Until the rework releases

No one wants to play that garbage

It stands out sooo badly compared to the other maps

[hybrid totem]

deal with it for six more days

[hardy kestrel]

We heard the community loud and clear! You said less explosion spam so we're adding rocket pods to jets despite the fact this is 2042 and dumfire rockets are about as approriate as equine cavalry.

[fresh lintel]

128 Breakthrough was my introduction into the game on that Nordvik Borg Cube map

[hybrid totem]

there's already a lot of dumbfire rockets in the game though. And they circumvent the most common countermeasures

[slender isle]

BUT WHO CARES

I’d rather leave the game when it comes up than never have the option

Same goes for portal maps

[granite island]

I pray what they said about reclaimed isn't true

No way it's 64p only

That can't be real

[slender isle]

It’s real

[granite island]

False advertising

Sue them

[hybrid totem]

class action lawsuit against DICE by the players who bought into a 128p game?

We'd all get 50c in ten years

Or even better, $1 off our next DICE purchase

[granite island]

Map is the size of spearhead

No reason for 64p only

[fallen coral]

Bro, I love among us

its just like this bf2042

same exact game

[arctic grove]

Among us has better gunplay

And graphics

[granite island]

The spring grenade will be quite funny on breakthrough

Long range bouncy betty

And it's timed

[warm zealot]

Nope

It’s not releasing when S5 drops

[hybrid totem]

I like Hourglass

[warm zealot]

Later in the season

[arctic grove]

I like Hourglass

[hybrid totem]

Spagat, and anyone else who doesn't like it, can easily not play it

It's not like there's persistent servers or anything

[arctic grove]

Idk, I think most people play AOW

And I see where you’re going with this

[hybrid totem]

I regularly end the matchmaking when it shows Stranded. It's not a map I want to play

[arctic grove]

Reclaimed can only be played 128 on a custom Portal game? tf

[vale pollen]

Good

Dice is finally owning that 128 was a horrible idea

[arctic grove]

I guess we’ll see how it goes

[carmine rover]

meow

[hybrid totem]

Can you stop

please

[calm bison]

So I think given that Reclaimed is 64p

[sharp marten]

No

[calm bison]

Will it be in the standard queue or will we have to wait until DICE gives us Conquest 64

[slender isle]

Conquest 64

[sharp marten]

Na I’m serious I hope dice does something about this new map strictly being just 64p

[calm bison]

I don’t think it will be relegated to Conquest 64’s queue

In testing footage it just says conquest

But other times it says conquest 64

So what’s the deal?

I mean TBF this is where the benefit of not having a persistent server comes in

[hybrid totem]

Surprise! DICE has removed 128p from S5

[sharp marten]

Tbh I wouldn’t mind that

[hybrid totem]

ew

[sharp marten]

Not next game I hope it’s like fucking 40v40 or something like that maybe 50v50 since I’ve seen a lot of people say they didn’t like 128

[calm bison]

Here’s why I think it will stay in the regular queue
-It doesn’t make any sense for DICE to release a new AOW map and not have it be accessible all the time
-Not having persistent servers means the game doesn’t eject half of the players during sessions, so it can still work

And we have seen that DICE makes Conquest 64 limited time

[warm zealot]

How?

You end matchmaking and then you get put into the same server when you requeue lol

There’s no server browser

[hybrid totem]

So end matchmaking, wait 1 minute, then requeue

[warm zealot]

I have game bar clips of the same map loading over and over again

[karmic egret]

And there never will be

[keen shoal]

Is dice planning on removing the weird input delay unless you’re zoomed in on tanks/vehicles on console? It’s been a thing since BFV

[hybrid totem]

Either be patient or play the map you don't like, come on man

[sharp marten]

Not in this game atleast

[warm zealot]

“Don’t like”

It’s arguably the worst map in the franchise

Maybe second to Heligoland

[calm bison]

What do you mean? Are you referring to a fixed turret rotation?

[arctic grove]

Glad someone else noticed this because I never knew how to formulate this

I generally hate the controls of tanks on V and 2042, they fuckin suck

[hybrid totem]

they're not removing hourglass, suck it up buttercup

[arctic grove]

In V they’re somewhat better as far as driving though

[sharp marten]

Why would they remove your glass lmao

[keen shoal]

Yeah fixed turret rotation, I don’t know why they ever changed it

[calm bison]

Honestly I prefer it

[arctic grove]

Heligoland bight is not a bad map

[calm bison]

Cause it means a tank can’t 360 no scope me in the span of 2 seconds

[arctic grove]

Don’t compare hourglass to heligoland lol, Galicia would be a reasonable comparison

[calm bison]

Having tank turrets tied to sensitivity is stupid

[keen shoal]

Bro it sucks ass dude, its not like it on PC dude it’s just for console

[arctic grove]

Hell, even Galicia is better

[warm zealot]

Galicia is better than Hourglass

That's how bad Hourglass is

[calm bison]

Nope. All versions of 2042 and V have it where the turret has a fixed rotation speed regardless of sensitivity

[arctic grove]

Galicia is sniper and semi auto oriented is all, it’s not just fundamentally flawed like hourglass

[calm bison]

Unless you’re referring to another bug

[arctic grove]

It also doesn’t have really any vehicles so that contributes massively

[warm zealot]

Heligoland is pretty bad though

[keen shoal]

I swear to god it does not feel the same on PC, I just tried it yesterday, while on console it feels even worse than BFV

[warm zealot]

You have to think about it objectively, like pure facts

The actual fact is that on Heligoland, you cannot play on more than 50% of the map area as a first person shooter

[granite island]

If you don't like 128 skill issue

[calm bison]

IdK man, that sounds like a you problem

[granite island]

Simply don't get shot

[warm zealot]

It's a map in a first person shooter game in which 50% of the playable area is unplayable as a first person shooter

[calm bison]

Maybe it’s just because I have my Xbox’s vehicle sensitivity set to 80 on both BFV and 2042

[calm bison]

Except all of the objectives are on land so like what’s the problem

And there’s boats fuckin everywhere man

[arctic grove]

I’ve played it quite a bit recently. You have to swim from the battleship to that other island, but there’s like 3-4 objectives on the main one, so while some people might like maps where everything is on land across the entire map, definitely wouldn’t say 50% of the map isn’t on land

[calm bison]

So it’s not like you don’t have a way to get around

[warm zealot]

If you look at the spawn screen literally more than 50% of the map boundaries are water

[arctic grove]

Yeah heligoland is obviously oriented for ships, which is fine

[keen shoal]

You can lower the sensitivity on the tanks, I’m talking about the shitty delay on it when zoomed out. It doesn’t make sense that it goes away when I zoom in.

[warm zealot]

It's a naval and air combat oriented map for sure

[arctic grove]

Hate how everyone wants the same bland map design that doesn’t promote different play styles

[calm bison]

Because when you’re in first person on these tanks your sensitivity gets fixed to the turret’s rotation speed

But when you go into third person (which you should be in most cases), it goes to your regular sensitivity

[warm zealot]

Based GravityBF perspective

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei4eWZmTOoA

[arctic grove]

Although I do understand opinions so don’t get me wrong

Not trying to be objective or anything

[warm zealot]

Watch that video

[calm bison]

Personally I like Heligoland and Zeebrugge because it’s nice to actually have a map that isn’t flat and sniper focused

[warm zealot]

Amazing explanation why heligoland sucks ass

[calm bison]

Like sweet Jesus

[arctic grove]

I mean that seems more like that YouTubers perspective and perception of it. I’m not going to agree regardless

[calm bison]

Every map in BF1 outside of those two feel like they focused on sniper gameplay and very little else

Except FDV

[arctic grove]

It’s a good naval oriented map, another example of BF1 actually doing something new with BFs core gameplay loop

Alongside the air vehicle game modes

[karmic egret]

I hope if we do get a season 6 we get 2-3 maps because all the reworks will be finished by then. So that will free up alot of map devs

And I'm ok with those maps being 64 player

[sharp marten]

True and same

[calm bison]

This game needs to be finished with at least 20 maps minimum

[arctic grove]

2 maps minimum per season

[calm bison]

12 maps is embarrassing

[arctic grove]

1 is unsustainable and ridiculous

[karmic egret]

16 if you count portal maps

[calm bison]

Nah that makes 18

[arctic grove]

Nobody cares about those

[sharp marten]

I’m just hoping we get moar vehicles

[calm bison]

We have 6 portal maps

[karmic egret]

Nobody plays el alamein and bulge

[calm bison]

Blame the community for their stupid nostalgia

[granite island]

True

[lost scarab]

I like el alamein but it’s a massive clusterfuck

[arctic grove]

What is El Alamein even for?

[karmic egret]

To big an empty for me

[arctic grove]

Like in what game mode does El Alamein work

[granite island]

Afghanistan simulator

And only Afghanistan simulator

[calm bison]

Actual fucking cringe

Like unironic

[granite island]

Not my fault people play that

[arctic grove]

10000% DAMAGE IRAQ MILSIM RP (DONT JOIN IF YOURE A SISSY)

[granite island]

It's full 24/7

[calm bison]

People are fucking stupid

Like actually

The battlefield community is creatively bankrupt

[arctic grove]

The BF community is certainly the most community ever

[karmic egret]

Why do people play with 1000 times damage?

[calm bison]

These people would make the worst Minecraft maps ever

I’m serious

A 2 year old could create a more interesting and engaging gamemode on 2042 than all of the community who uses it

[granite island]

Have you seen community map rework concepts

[lost scarab]

@calm bison why you being so negative

[granite island]

Actual unplayable

[calm bison]

Because this community is the reason portal is dying

[arctic grove]

There’s this one dude on twitter that makes really good 2042 map concepts

[granite island]

That's good

[lost scarab]

Don’t play the game then

[arctic grove]

One was a semi collapsed skyscraper

[sharp marten]

Bro the hour glass rework looks so good

[karmic egret]

I got a map rework idea for exposure

[calm bison]

That’s not how this works

[karmic egret]

Remove the 128p map

[arctic grove]

There’s opinions and then there’s the modern state of how Portal is being used by people

[lost scarab]

Exposure is a terribly designed map in all fairness

[granite island]

Orrr we remove the bottom objectives

[arctic grove]

is falck better to run then mackay?

And how portal is being used is for stupid ass xp farms or milsim lel

[calm bison]

That has nothing to do with Portal

[arctic grove]

Milsim is OCCASIONALLY fun when it’s PvE

[lost scarab]

@calm bison I didn’t say it did?

[calm bison]

I don’t understand the appeal of milsim

[hybrid totem]

"S6: We bring to you fresh, new, re-reworks of all our launch maps, optimized for 64 players!"
"And we are removing the 128 player game modes and not saying anything about it!

[calm bison]

If you like the military so much why don’t you go join it

[karmic egret]

even the logo on steam is bugged

[arctic grove]

But some goober jump sliding around with a 2 shot AR, no thx

[lost scarab]

Remove rm68

[arctic grove]

Lmao Zain protruding from the logo

[granite island]

Most exciting mil sim gameplay Is there is no exciting gameplay

[calm bison]

The portal community is the kind of child that puts a rectangle in the circle hole

And wonders why it not work

[sharp marten]

Battle👀eld

[granite island]

It's like playing 64p in 2042

[carmine rover]

meow

[granite island]

Fucking empty

[arctic grove]

Honestly? I suppose so. Mackay has verticality and his strafe speed but Falck can ez pz self revive

[lost scarab]

64 player conquest master race

[calm bison]

Ah yes my favorite language - Elon Musk’s child

[granite island]

64p is just boring in this game

Walking for miles to fight one dude

128 solves that problem

[calm bison]

Because none of the maps are designed for 64

Except for Stranded, Spearhead, Flashpoint, and now Reclaimed

[arctic grove]

Honestly some of the reworks aren’t even that bad. Yeah you gotta use vehicles but like, and

[calm bison]

I have to use vehicles in a battlefield game? Literally unplayable

[lost scarab]

64 players servers have smaller maps what are you talking about?

[karmic egret]

kaliedoscope renewal and manifest

[arctic grove]

Not to mention using vehicles to get across maps is not at all a 2042 concept, there’s some big ass maps in every title

[lost scarab]

They play absolutely fine and way less of a cluster fuck than 128

[calm bison]

If I shove 64 players into a map meant for 128, it’s going to suck is it not?

[karmic egret]

the only great rework is breakaway

[lost scarab]

@calm bison as I just said… the 64 player mode has smaller maps

Can tell you’ve never played it

[calm bison]

Buddy I started playing 2042 on an original Xbox one

Fight me

[sharp marten]

True

[lost scarab]

Good for you

[granite island]

Even with the 64p layout its still empty

[calm bison]

ON LAUNCH DAY

[lost scarab]

So did I

On PC because I’m not a peasant

[calm bison]

Oh there’s the elitism

Because that was called for

I had to start with the last gen version

HAVE YOU SEEN THE LAST GEN VERSION

[lost scarab]

My first battlefield game was bad company 2 on ps3

[calm bison]

It’s like playing a N64 game

[arctic grove]

Why is a rat talking about peasants?

[calm bison]

That’s really cool, but is completely irrelevant to the convo

[lost scarab]

Okay

[calm bison]

[arctic grove]

I just wanna know why a rat is calling us peasants

[copper ice]

you bought 2042 at launch so idk if you have much room to be throwing names around

bricks in glass houses etc

[calm bison]

Cuz apparently console bad pc good?

[arctic grove]

[calm bison]

This stupid Pc master race bs

THIS PIECE OF PLASTIC PLAYS GAMES BETTER THAN YOUR PIECE OF PLASTIC

[lost scarab]

I actually preordered it

[arctic grove]

Me when I pay 1500+ to play the same games as someone who spent 500 dollars

[lost scarab]

Me when I play 4k resolution ultra graphics at 165 fps

[arctic grove]

Jokes aside PC is a way better platform for FPS but console is convenient and comfortable

[lost scarab]

You when you chug along at 30

[arctic grove]

I don’t need that to drop a 50 game tho

Lmao my ps5 is 60fps 4k

[calm bison]

I would just like to add that I paid $110 USD for the gold edition of 2042 for an Xbox one version

[lost scarab]

With poo graphics

[calm bison]

And it was like a day after the gameplay trailer dropped

[lost scarab]

I also paid for the gold edition

[copper ice]

A million fps vs 5 fps makes no difference, you are still playing 2042

[lost scarab]

Worst thing I ever did

[calm bison]

Nah I’d say you had it better on PC than Xbox one did

[lost scarab]

Game is worth 20 dollars max

[calm bison]

Damn thing could barely load characters

[lost scarab]

It was broken on Pc launch too

[granite island]

I still wanna experience the flying hoverboats

Wish they never patched that

[calm bison]

I want you to imagine the first 3D model character in existence

[arctic grove]

I paid for ultimate, I genuinely was excited for the first modern battlefield in like fuckin 10 yrs, and I honestly expected a lot of the gameplay to be similar to 1/V

[lost scarab]

Hoverboard that could drive up skyscrapers was the best

[copper ice]

game is worth 20 bucks as in they should pay you 20 bucks for suffering through it

[calm bison]

Now apply that to every character in 2042 for half the game

[arctic grove]

Dunno WTF went wrong afterwards but I learned my lesson

[calm bison]

That’s Xbox one 2042

[lost scarab]

Well you do have an anime profile picture

[copper ice]

bfv on xbone was already pushing it

[lost scarab]

So you still need saving

[copper ice]

i had no confidence in 2042 running on last gen

[sharp marten]

I’m excited for the mid season event

[calm bison]

I’m so glad I bought a series s

Game handles like a dream on it

[arctic grove]

I’m not, I don’t wanna spend 1/3 a new games price for skins

[lost scarab]

Ok

[sharp marten]

Series X|S 🔛🔝

[arctic grove]

the only gameplay related stuff is shitty game modes

[copper ice]

I also had no confidence in 2042 being good after the ttk change for bfv

[lost scarab]

TTK has always been a problem in every bf game

[calm bison]

You know they reverted that in 6.2, right?

[sharp marten]

But I heard they’re bf4 cosmetics

[arctic grove]

Really?

[sharp marten]

Supposedly

[arctic grove]

That’s interesting

[copper ice]

They went from 10 to 1 and then "reverted" it to 3

[calm bison]

Nah it’s more like an 8

[granite island]

I was using a launch base ps4 to play 2042 during season 1

[calm bison]

They took 5.0 TTK as a baseline and added like one extra bullet at range for most guns

I want you to imagine what the Type 2A would be like with 5.0 TTK

[copper ice]

The type 2a was literally always worse than the suomi and thompson

[calm bison]

With a RoF like that it doesn’t matter

Thing has like the tightest hipfire in the game

[copper ice]

It had extra btk negating the bonus of the rof

[hardy viper]

Tried 2042 and the maps feel too big for only 64 people

[calm bison]

Because the gun came out after 5.2

[copper ice]

The one thing type 2a did have was a better upgrade tree if you went non-bigmag

[hardy viper]

Although I don't have enough to upgrade to next gen yet

[copper ice]

Which was the hipfire tree

30 mag base compared to 20 mag for suomi and thompson

even then you were better off with full hipfire mp28

[sharp marten]

God bro I cannot wait for the fucking reworked portal guns

[copper ice]

man look at all the niches the guns had though that's 4 things that are potentially more useful in their own situations

then we have 2042 guns

same attachments on every weapon whatever is best is decided by rof and damage values

so lame

[warm zealot]

^

The differentiation is so narrow

[copper ice]

what the fuck is the point of adding the plus system when the attachments are too minor to ever be worth swapping out

[warm zealot]

SMGs are better than ARs at like sub 10m

Sniper rifles are better than ARs past 200m

😂

[copper ice]

unless you pick cc pbx because they gave it the wrong values and haven't changed it since the game released

or you pick pp-18 because it's got AR values on an smg

They're not even consistent

[kindred flint]

the only consistent thing is losing to an rm constantly

dont ask how my previous match with xm8 went

[copper ice]

rm68 being overpowered is literally by design

[kindred flint]

yeah but dice doesnt have to piss literally in our face and say its raining

[copper ice]

there's no way you look at it's stats compared to any other weapon in the game and go yeah this is ok

[arctic grove]

Devs get so damn creative with how they make money now ever since they got rid of paid DLCs

[kindred flint]

a lil op is ok for a BP weapon but...holy shit this is just yikes tier

[arctic grove]

Intentionally OP guns in battle passes, and speaking of battle passes their FOMO design, shit is genuinely genius

[kindred flint]

id love to know how much money they made off 2042 compared to bf4s premium model

[warm zealot]

It’s not the best gun in the game imo

[copper ice]

add OP gun to end of BP
refuse to nerf it in first balance pass
refuse to nerf it until season is over

[arctic grove]

Paid DLC was more genuine with what it gave you

[copper ice]

need more data :/

need more time to balance :\

[kindred flint]

a bunch of shit maps you hardly played?

[copper ice]

you get paid by the fucking hour to balance bro

[kindred flint]

or fracturing the player base because lol dlc map servers

[copper ice]

do something

[arctic grove]

I guess that could be said for BF4 but BF1 has a decent player base playing launch and premium maps

[copper ice]

I would genuinely be interested in hearing what you think is stronger than it

No shadow intended I would love to be wrong

[kindred flint]

is this a new player in the game?

[arctic grove]

But at least as far as the content itself goes you got decent map, gun and gadget content, live service is a damn husk, and it being free doesn’t excuse how minimal it is in some games

Strangely enough BFV and MW19 both had good live service, but 2042 and MWII are the exact opposite lmao

[frosty flint]

So someone told me good 2024 players don't snipe

but y doe

[worthy inlet]

Paid DLC was a much better system and would be miles miles better if the base version of the game was unable to be bought at the end of the life cycle

[kindred flint]

ngl i dont even remember what the dlc packs gave besides maps...

[arctic grove]

Snipers are okay but with how fast the movement is don’t expect to hit much long shots

[frosty flint]

im getting better at snipes and deleting rm69 crutches is satisfying as hell

[arctic grove]

100% agree this is how they should’ve handled BF1 and older

[kindred flint]

if youre camping with a sniper, you arent caping objectives, play the game mode

[dapper berry]

guns and assignments

[copper ice]

snipers are defunct in 2042 because map design doesn't lend itself well to sniper usage and all automatics can beam to 70m with ease

[karmic egret]

rm69? is that a new weapon?

[arctic grove]

Guns, assignments, some specific attachments, gadgets

[copper ice]

why gimp yourself when you can just automatic at every range

[arctic grove]

You can easily challenge snipers if you get a couple lucky headshots too lmao

[copper ice]

first bf without limiting gun choice to classes
make all guns feel the same as ARs

[arctic grove]

They’re so ez

[dapper berry]

because gaming isn't about minmaxxing

i have fun sniping

[copper ice]

if gaming is about having fun why are you playing 2042

[dapper berry]

same reason you're here

[tardy thicket]

The NTW is about the best you can do for close engagements

[copper ice]

To complain about the genuinely horrific state of the game?

[tardy thicket]

It’s a scrub weapon though

[arctic grove]

2042 is a fun game but not a good game

[dapper berry]

in some twisted way it gives you satisfaction

so does 2042

[copper ice]

My condolences

[dapper berry]

thanks

[elfin coral]

it's fun when you turn off your brain and embrace the chaos

[arctic grove]

Yeah I genuinely hate the NTW, debuffs don’t take away the fact that it’s a 1 shot to 100(?) meters

[granite island]

🧢

[arctic grove]

I can’t say I have much luck trying to play it throughout the night though

Literally one tdm server

[granite island]

I haven't seen anyone play bf1 premium maps

It's just the same base maps over and over again

[copper ice]

I can do this in games designed for a sense of something behind the chaos

[arctic grove]

Oh trust me there’s a lot that too, I’ve played a good mix of naval and Russian maps

[granite island]

Curse the map vote system

[arctic grove]

French are in the rotation too

[copper ice]

Games where you can make a tiny pushback against the chaos in your little circle

There's nothing you can do in 2042 chaos

[granite island]

Tugs my friend

Use them

[copper ice]

because the game is fundamentally flawed due to design choices from the very start of the game that have rolling impacts on literally everything else

[arctic grove]

I think map voting is generally good, when it doesn’t select two famous maps you choose between two regular maps, promotes rotation that otherwise doesn’t exist

Since server hosts do shit like shanghai 24/7 lol

Is the ac42 any good?

How’s gameplay with it

it’s a gun

[kindred flint]

if you can aim its good?

[dapper berry]

brrt brrt brrt

[arctic grove]

[kindred flint]

literally any AoW AR is good lol

just...dont be dogshit

[arctic grove]

You might as well auto spam because burst fire + the fire input is asking to get irritated

[granite island]

Add a auto shoot with burst guns

Simply hold down and it will shoot in bursts

Like d2

[tardy thicket]

Easiest one to master imo

[copper ice]

guns is the same

[kindred flint]

oh my god ..that sounds busted, i love it...add it now dice

[frosty flint]

no it's the correct name of the rm68

[copper ice]

they can't even make the burst fire on weapons consistent

[frosty flint]

AC42 is hella high skill high reward

[copper ice]

they had to nerf that portal pistol because if you spammed trigger it just did all the bursts with no delay making it full auto

[arctic grove]

Easiest gun to master?

[frosty flint]

every burst weapon does that

[arctic grove]

Oh wait nevermind dunno why I read that as a question lol

[copper ice]

and the nvk pistol has horrendous burst delay issues that make it fire slower than the single fire, unless you input exactly when the cooldown ends making it fire in full auto

[arctic grove]

Not necessarily, it’s just so different, and not in many ways that make it interesting

[copper ice]

look at old gameplay of it, i can't remember it's name

[arctic grove]

does ac42 have auto

[frosty flint]

yea yea yea i programmed macros to fire shit like ac42 at full auto

[copper ice]

they nerfed it specifically because it was full auto when bursting

[arctic grove]

It does not

[frosty flint]

I DID NOT USE IT IN LIVE GAME

don't ban me

[copper ice]

g57 cant full auto when bursting

its not intended design to be able to full auto when bursting but they cant fucking program properly

[frosty flint]

u sure? last i checked it can

ill test again tomorrow

[copper ice]

you might be able to with correct inputs but it's a lot more difficult to time than just queueing trigger

the portal one was full auto from queuing

[frosty flint]

yeah it takes a lot oof muscle memory

but all you need to muscle memorize is a 2-burst full auto

then oppenent just dies

[copper ice]

so they nerfed it because they don't actually want the burst fire guns to be able to do this, but they can't make it stop because they fucking suck at programming

[frosty flint]

yeah programming is hard

i guess they should practice first

maybe write a code to print fibonacci numbers

that could be a good exercise

[copper ice]

if only they had decades of experience and multiple games under their belt

[frosty flint]

i just call it a skillgap feature

learn the right timings? AC42 suddenly 1200 rpm

[copper ice]

2042 doesnt need any more of those!!@

I already get 10 borises every match using fucking eod bot

[arctic grove]

game is just right time right gun

[warm stirrup]

Y'all see the new map is only 64 players?

[random sage]

That Argument doesnt apply to 2023 DICE, almost everyone left.

[elfin coral]

if only the old team trained the new ones

[frosty flint]

2042 coded by stackexchange?

not uncommon in the AAA scene

I don't blame them

[stiff pollen]

64 players only
no transport helis and no jets on it either.

crazy it took them 20 months to make a good map

[warm stirrup]

Currently running a 128p conquest server of all the 64p maps. If anyone is interested? Moderate xp.

[arctic grove]

Are there bots in it?

[warm stirrup]

Yes, ergo moderate xp

[arctic grove]

Oh duh ok lol my bad I don’t play portal all that often

[warm stirrup]

Server is called
Battlefield World Tour

[tepid agate]

When will the Devs typically have another team meeting then? Wonder if they will confirm a "season 6" or keep suggesting they will give more content

[hybrid totem]

they have team meetings?

[tepid agate]

Not sure how many they have in-between seasons.

[sour meadow]

were jets disabled in the season 5 playtest or are they not available on Reclaimed?

[arctic grove]

burst is crazy

[tardy thicket]

Told ya it’s easy to master

Can body anyone at any range

[next onyx]

O yeah I reported that and it turns out its a portal bug.

[arctic grove]

yeah and basically no recoil lol

[next onyx]

Not portal bug.

[arctic grove]

So does this mean DICE's skeleton crew be able to pump out more maps next season???

[next onyx]

Frostbite bug.

[kindred flint]

game has no bugs...impossible

[tepid agate]

They will have more time now launch maps are fixed.

[arctic grove]

I have 128 lobbies for bf2042, 1942 and bf3 with full XP

[next onyx]

I'm not really crying a river over it being 64p.

[arctic grove]

depends how many devs are still working on the live service

[kindred flint]

is it too much to ask for the xm8s bipod to say in the deployed state every time you respawn or get revived?

[tepid agate]

Well, this is where their live service should kick on and deliver. They have spent 5 season reworking launch maps. Now it's time to get that book of plans they had and go at it.

[arctic grove]

If the rumors are true about a skeleton crew, Then it would be safe to assume the next 2 seasons will be bug fixes, QoL, Skins and Vault weapons getting ported to 2042

[tepid agate]

Nah, they can't take their foot off the gas after reworking launch maps

[next onyx]

Yet ironically in the saying of that we will get portal attachments update by update. Lmgs should be at 5.1?

[warm zealot]

AC42 > RM

[arctic grove]

If they have a decent amount of workers then the content will pump out as much as it has been doing these past seasons.

[arctic grove]

We shall have to wait and see.

[candid mist]

When season out

[arctic grove]

Tuesday

[tepid agate]

That's like, the kitchen needs a renovation, you stop renovating to clean up the spilled milk, now the milks clean start renovating

[next onyx]

So pretty slowly. It's bs we don't get as many maps.

I know why we couldn't but still.

[arctic grove]

bf4 had 20 maps by this time

Low key i want assault carrier in 2042

Most underrated mode

[next onyx]

If they dropped 2 to 3 per season month after month not all at once I would be happy.

[tepid agate]

2042 can get more maps now because the team have finishing the launch maps

[arctic grove]

depends on how big of a team they have on 2042.

We have no idea how many are still working.

[tepid agate]

I don't think they would treat their fans that way. There are a lot of loyal players who stuck with them during these hard times

[copper ice]

How unexpected

[subtle swan]

Looking for some players to play with

[arctic grove]

Hope 2042 gains popularity again lol

[copper ice]

So they made a 64p size map and only one of them?

[arctic grove]

Only time will tell. We have to wait and see what DICE has in store for us.

Is there any knowledge on how the two new weapons will have to unlocked yet?

[arctic grove]

Yuuuuup

[copper ice]

Nice to see it but aren't smaller maps supposed to be easier to make

[arctic grove]

Least we have a new season giving us something to do time being

True

[tepid agate]

I think it's number 2 or 3 in most played bf games in steam

[copper ice]

[arctic grove]

which is why im suspicious of a skeleton crew working on 2042

[copper ice]

Why the fuck does it even have an undeployed state

[arctic grove]

Although i have zero proof.

[copper ice]

Skeleton crew has been basically confirmed ever since launch

Look at the lack of drones

[tepid agate]

I think the skeleton crew romour started back in season 2 though

[arctic grove]

Yeah it did

What battlefield is the most popular currently

I’m guessing 1

[kindred flint]

its not even like having your bipod deployed makes the gun stuck anymore...it just pops off instantly

[arctic grove]

They all seem to have an average of 10k players

[tepid agate]

No bfV. BF1 or 2042 is second

[tepid agate]

But each season the manage to deliver 1 rework, 1 new map and a specialist

Now the reworks are done they can do more

[arctic grove]

True. If DICE plays it smart, It be 1 new map and 1 new portal map each season.

[tepid agate]

No, I think they can deliver more new maps not portal ones

I think this game launched with the least amount of maps in the games history

They can increase it now

[arctic grove]

I want classic maps tho. To support Portal

Portal will become dead like HZ

[tepid agate]

The still support it right? I know they stopped supporting Hz a while back but portal is still.ok?

[arctic grove]

It has 4k ingame 2042 has currently 10k

[next onyx]

Portal has received nothing new asides from weapons.

[tepid agate]

When I played in season 3, portal was mainly used for farming servers

[kindred flint]

portal got some vehicles?

[arctic grove]

Portal 1942 seems fun

[next onyx]

I wouldn't count portal anyways if it weren't fucking dead.

[sharp marten]

Hi way how’s your day?

[next onyx]

It's ok.

Yours?

[sharp marten]

Not bad man

[tepid agate]

Yeah, it peaks at 12.9k and bfV peaks at 15.3k still more than bf1 though

[arctic grove]

this game is great

and it keeps getting better

[tepid agate]

Are people still farming in portal or did Devs do something about that

[arctic grove]

Bf v is pretty pricey

[arctic grove]

I saw an ammo box farm

[arctic grove]

no? its like 15 bucks at best

[tepid agate]

Could usually find 1-3 full farming servers

[arctic grove]

Also a heli xp farm lol

[arctic grove]

On sale yea

[tepid agate]

Yeah I remember the trailers thinking of all the crazy experiences portal could be used for... Didn't expect it to die out and turn into a farming server shooting at the sky

[arctic grove]

CD Keys

[karmic egret]

Portal been abandoned

Why ripple effect

[tepid agate]

Confirmed?

So that means only 1/3 modes remains

[karmic egret]

De Jure: No

De facto: Yes

[kindred flint]

only 2/3 modes should have been made in the first place

[warped pulsar]

Making a crazy portal experince does take some work

[arctic grove]

I only like portal cause of aim train that’s about it

[tepid agate]

Not with no campaign

[arctic grove]

Just hop on there to test gun load outs

[kindred flint]

bro why you need aim train portal lobby when you can just go to the gun range??

oh wait

[tepid agate]

Imagine the game launched with only 2 modes though and no campaign... Not good

Some people paid up to $100 on launch

[next onyx]

You can tell dice don't really care since these xp boosting servers are still up.

[sharp marten]

I love this

[tepid agate]

Is it still 1-3 servers? Used to be that when I played

[kindred flint]

hazard zone was a total flop just like firestorm lol

absolute waste of resources...bf players dont want that shit

[tepid agate]

I think I played firestorm more than hz

[next onyx]

At least firestorm was using a decent basis.

[kindred flint]

not having a campaign is easily sellable if 128p was worth it

firestorm using armor and not adjusting weapon damage was hilarious ngl

[next onyx]

But we all know how that went.

[kindred flint]

fucking bullet sponge enemies

[next onyx]

Oh deary.

Yeah.

[kindred flint]

the whole loot piling on top of each other was just...typical oversight

[tepid agate]

Aren't they supposed to be telling a story through multiplayer though?

Irish was on that ship in some cut scene

[kindred flint]

they saw fortnite and warzone doing it

is the game supposed to be in 2048 atm?

[tepid agate]

They gave bigger maps than ever before but then had to spend 5 season reworking then because theres hardly any cover or war feel about them
