As you wish Introduction:
Battlefield 2042, the much-anticipated first-person shooter game developed by DICE, falls short of expectations and fails to deliver an engaging gaming experience. Despite its promising premise, the game suffers from various flaws that hinder its potential for success. From lackluster gameplay mechanics to underwhelming storytelling, Battlefield 2042 disappoints players and fails to live up to its predecessors.

Uninspired Gameplay and Repetitive Objectives:
One of the main issues plaguing Battlefield 2042 is its uninspired gameplay. The core mechanics feel stale and fail to introduce any innovative features or improvements. The objectives often boil down to repetitive tasks that quickly become monotonous and lack strategic depth. The lack of variety in gameplay elements makes the experience feel like a tedious chore rather than an exciting and immersive journey.

Glitches, Bugs, and Technical Issues:
Another major downfall of Battlefield 2042 is the abundance of glitches, bugs, and technical issues that plague the game. From visual glitches that distort the environment to game-breaking bugs that impede progress, the overall polish of the game is severely lacking. These technical hiccups not only detract from the immersion but also hinder the player's ability to enjoy the game to its fullest potential.

Weak Storytelling and Lack of Character Development:
The narrative of Battlefield 2042 fails to captivate players and lacks the depth and character development necessary to create a memorable experience. The storyline feels disjointed, with poorly executed plot twists and underdeveloped characters. The lack of emotional investment in the game's world and its inhabitants leaves players feeling detached and disinterested in the overall outcome. 1/2

Unbalanced Multiplayer Experience:
In Battlefield 2042, the multiplayer mode suffers from poor balancing, which creates an unfair and frustrating experience for players. The lack of proper matchmaking algorithms often leads to uneven teams, with one side dominating the battlefield. This imbalance not only undermines the competitive nature of the game but also dampens the overall enjoyment of the multiplayer experience.

Unresponsive Controls and Clunky Movement:
The controls and movement mechanics in Battlefield 2042 leave much to be desired. The controls feel unresponsive and sluggish, leading to frustrating moments where players fail to execute actions as intended. Additionally, the movement mechanics lack fluidity and precision, making it difficult for players to navigate the environment with ease. These issues significantly impact the overall gameplay experience, resulting in a sense of frustration and disengagement.

Conclusion:
Battlefield 2042, despite its initial anticipation, falls short of delivering an enjoyable gaming experience. The uninspired gameplay, glitches, weak storytelling, unbalanced multiplayer, and unresponsive controls contribute to its overall disappointment. While the game may have had the potential to be an exciting addition to the franchise, its execution fails to meet expectations. As players, we hope that future installments will learn from these shortcomings and provide a more engaging and polished experience.

Is 22 ms ping generally where youd experience rubber banding?

hybrid totem
#

When the game isn't acting up, I sit at 45ms with no trouble

#

Around 65-70 is where it starts to get noticeable

ebon pilot

turns out the best way to win the FNB mode is to steal a RM68 off the 2042 team

even when the enemy has 200 health it melts

The third person takedowns is a bit controversial for battlefield but I gotta say they do make the trailers better

my ping in bf2042 has become much lower since i switched to windows 11 for some reason

better lan drivers?

I noticed at launch switching to windows 11 gave me more fps than 10

I still miss the first person melee animations WAH

Has anyone else gotten increasingly cpu bound after enabling rebar?

With an rx6800 and an i5 11400f, I am noticing it becoming bound at around 90fps in bf2042, and 50 in cyberpunk

acoustic island
#

Never got that before

queen whale
#

i dont know how long i will last on this game before playing something else

#

probably a week or two of hardcore grinding after season 5 comes out then i uninstall and download bf4

delicate hollow
#

Why even play it then

queen whale
#

im bored

delicate hollow
#

Play bf4

upbeat sand

Let me do it when in their face

probably repeat that cycle a few times with different games until xdefiant comes out or cold war is fixed

#

Give 2042 ai the bf3 ai

#

Fuc it just make 2042 ai reskinned bf3 portal ai

arctic grove
#

and give bf3 bots path finding / nav mesh

#

pls

#

I'm getting tired of making traditional paths

delicate hollow
#

Playing the bots reminds me a lot of the og battlefront games and the amount of hours I'd put in just doing instant action

#

And those bots were ruthless sometimes

arctic grove
#

on normal, they're okay

#

on elite

#

they'll tear your asshole

delicate hollow
#

Elite space battles were a nightmare

#

I'd get into a tie fighter and get shot down the moment I leave the hangar

#

If dice can give us that level of bot battles, I'd be in love

arctic grove

if only

delicate hollow

Like, more than I am already

dusk falcon

battlefield games from bad company to V

had bots

If hardline had good bots id only ever play that game

arctic grove

but don't worry

#

BF4 will soon get one

#

I promise

delicate hollow

Is it really?

arctic grove

#

istg these AI gotta have to use some sort of software that makes them learn movements from players

#

cause its incredible what some of them do

arctic grove
#

lordy hell

delicate hollow
#

Oh nice it's like Venice unleashed for bf3

arctic grove
#

than VU

delicate hollow
#

I'll have to keep an eye on it then

#

I played so much of VU bots, after I learned that you can adjust bot settings in that I'd spend entire nights on it

#

Those mfs put up a fight on higher settings

arctic grove
#

most of the times

#

you gotta remember they rely on linear paths

#

they aren't 100% smart

delicate hollow
#

True. They did just run to the objective most of the time lol

arctic grove
#

or sprint backwards after shooting

#

that annoys me

delicate hollow
#

I yearn for the day that ai in fps games can replicate human playstyles

arctic grove
#

but I understand why

#

perhaps ...

#

the closest I can experience

#

is

#

actually a couple games

#

cod

#

and battlefront

delicate hollow
#

Modern warfare remastered, battlefront 2 from 2017, call of duty ghosts, come to mind

arctic grove
#

okay not vanilla cod bots

#

cause they're limited

#

mods opens up opportunities

delicate hollow
#

Idk in mw remastered they would take you down with short range smgs from the other side of the map

#

Battlefront 2 I remembered I had the hardest time taking out basic enemy units because they knew how to dodge and use their equipment

topaz breach
#

okay

#

so I find that the biggest problem I have with 2042 right now is that I'm running from gunfire, make it behind a wall, but still die?

#

the fuck are they shooting....my big toe?

gritty tapir
#

because desync sucks

delicate hollow
#

That shit happens to me so often

topaz breach
#

you know it's bullshit too because they show killer cam and his ass is parallel to your location

topaz breach
#

it's absolutely heinous

fervent rose
#

always keep shooting at people when they run into cover, you'll get kills that make you go ????

topaz breach
#

noted

fervent rose
#

its a laggy game

karmic egret
#

Season 5 is what I would call launch product

topaz breach
#

so another year and a half in the oven?

fervent rose
#

the kitchen is closed in 3 months

karmic egret
#

so in terms of weapons the game launched with 22 so as of next wednesday the game will have 37 weapons (im not counting portal weapons)

warm stirrup
#

Season 5 challenges grant double battlepass when played as certain specialist

#

Seems they're trying to encourage certain specialist play?

fervent rose
#

they want people to try the new dozer

#

hopefully dice didnt over buff shield man

warm stirrup
#

Double battlepass tho, seems this battlepass is gonna go by fast

upbeat sand
#

Is there a way for the thermal shaders to be preloaded cause when I enter a first match and ads it spends 1 full seccond loading them

chilly jacinth
#

They should get cached if you've done it once

upbeat sand
chilly jacinth
#

Unfortunate

upbeat sand
#

eh its not like its gotten me killed or anything

topaz breach
#

finally...T1 am40

#

now I can play RE4 remake in peace

So

How do people think of last defence

Last defense? In general?

Ohhh nevermind

plucky creek
#

Just read the notes for 5.0, Do they just hate Sundance players? Why out right remove the nade? now it is just a dumb cluster nade instead of the smart nade she was meant to have since launch

arctic grove
#

muhahaha

plucky creek
#

We deadass went from 3 to just one

arctic grove
#

now just take c5 and mines from them and we’re good to go

plucky creek
#

I do bring C5 since I can't use the M5 launcher but now if I get caught by a heli on a point I am screwed

arctic grove
#

True, but unfortunately I don’t see helis much anymore because they shove 3 of them into one slot across 128 conquest and the wildcat is overtuned to ezpz kill them

next onyx
#

Not bad!

arctic grove
# next onyx Not bad!

Which specialist is that? I kinda like how skins like that do sorta make me even ask that question

next onyx
#

Oh have you seen how fucked the 35mil is Levi.

#

It's Zain.

arctic grove
#

Zain always had some cooler options

next onyx
#

Definitely.

arctic grove
plucky creek
#

I want to point out they kill off Sundance by "Balancing" her but they won't zoom the deployment menu on some maps so we can actually spawn on helis when the game launches

next onyx
#

Uhh think of it as an unnerfed 30 mil cannon from launch.

plucky creek
#

Instead of using the arrow keys to select it

next onyx
#

With AA capabilities.

#

But you can't beam across the map and I think the velocity is a little lower?

#

But it's super fucked.

plucky creek

And I bet the RM68 is still going to be busted to fuck in 5.0

chilly jacinth

Yes

Easy anticheat when you use literally any software from a verified publisher: Hmm

I guess they spawn further back cause their size/role? But even then it just makes no sense

The wildcat is getting a 35MM Cannon.

plucky creek
arctic grove
#

wtf

#

I thought they wanted to limit explosives? CursedCat

plucky creek
#

YEa so they gave the LATV 20mm flaks

acoustic seal
#

new wildcat guns? infantry farm vehicle
bolte 50mm? infantry farm vehicle
super hind with anti-hack? you better believe that's an infantry farm vehicle

arctic grove
#

But the latv barely deserved weapons at all, if anything sure the mini gun but that’s it yeshoney

acoustic seal
#

the tow missile on the hovercraft was too skill based btw CursedCat

plucky creek
#

#RIP30mmLATV

acoustic seal
plucky creek
#

TI also wasn't explosive

next sorrel
#

trash game ez

acoustic seal
#

doesn't matter in the end since they have to add two new explosives for every one they remove

gritty tapir
#

tow missile should switch gameplay mechanics with lis's launcher

next onyx

50 mil makes no sense on the bolte.

upbeat sand
#

Classic 64 being the most imbalanced mode in the entirety of 2042

plucky creek
#

Plus I love this Dev Comment
***"Sundance’s Anti-Armor Grenade had poor readability which would result in vehicle players being unable to detect between an incoming missile or an Anti-Armor Grenade." *** YEa no shit that was the point of them

acoustic seal
#

intentionally confusing design is bad design

plucky creek
upbeat sand
#

Literally every 64 mode had 1 team capped everything while the other has nothing

#

Ends in 5-7 mins

arctic grove
plucky creek
#

The BF3 team would just push up near instantly not to mention that if you have a full squad you are stuck with the class that you were given

acoustic seal
#

honestly take sundance's grenade away entirely, fuck the scatter proximity fuse

plucky creek
#

Replace it with what exactly?

acoustic seal
#

nothing

plucky creek
#

The SPH launcher tickles anything that isn't meat

arctic grove
#

Well Sundance still has most of their emphasis on their wing suit

#

I guess maybe another passive related to guns like Mackays strafe speed lel

acoustic seal
#

the whole passive system can go after they give mackay strafe speed to everyone

plucky creek
#

Honestly just a flat mobility buff would be sick

#

Wingsuit as gadget

#

Just she has no way to climb like Mackay

gritty tapir
#

i honestly thought the wingsuit would be a gadget thing when the trailers first hit, then they just gave it to sundance

upbeat sand
#

It's an anti infantry explosive not anti vehicle

plucky creek
#

That includes the people in the LATV btw

#

Apparently they are not made of flesh and bones

karmic egret
arctic grove
#

They become one with the latv

next onyx
#

They're not proxy mines they're contact grenades.

#

Which they shouldn't be at all.

arctic grove

Im guessing the contact grenades will do half hp kinda like bf4

Maybe carry two as well

recoil bug?

acoustic seal
#

losing small inputs when trying to control your gun

#

over/undershooting your tracking and needing to constantly correct, needing to pull down twice as much on the same recoil

gritty tapir
#

ah, didnt know about that

#

what i wish we had was the same tickrate as co-op. the recoil in there is so much better

acoustic seal
#

co-op runs at less than half speed of normal matches CursedCat

next sorrel
upbeat sand
#

I

#

Fucking

#

64 sucks

arctic grove
#

It’s why I spent so much of the games earlier life literally changing my sensitivities every damn round

acoustic seal
#

normal servers are 45hz because we're still chasing the 128p meme and co-op are 20hz to not waste resources on 1-4 players

arctic grove
#

Little did I know there was that and the recoil bug

gritty tapir
#

hmm, recoil just seems so much smoother in coop tho shrug

next onyx
#

Just due to the games interaction with the tick rate and connection.

#

The recoil bug certainly has become less of an issue but it feels like hte micro adjustment part has cropped up again.

acoustic seal
#

fucking around with the tickrate has had horrible consequences, my personal conspiracy theory is that switching from 60 to 45 introduced a whole host of timing issues and one of them is the recoil bug

vapid crystal
acoustic seal
#

it's probably why high rpm guns "lose" bullets too

vapid crystal
#

Man that singapore cargo map is infested with snipers every crane and end of the map

#

Then they drop like flies when they try to capture a zone

arctic grove
#

They’re annoying but half of them don’t have brains

#

They literally lay there

#

Easy pickings

acoustic seal
#

all of those stupid cranes need to have out of bounds boxes on top of them

arctic grove
#

Breakthrough could stand to lose them as playable spaces

gritty tapir
#

cranes on that map should have some leveloution fr

arctic grove
#

You’re busy scanning for enemies amongst the verticality and then you get popped by some dude crouching in a dark corner on the crane above you

acoustic seal
#

how about that new map though

#

it only took until s5 to admit 128 was a mistake

next onyx
#

Don't think they directly said that though a map made around 64p sounds nice.

#

Just means the map will flow better.

gritty tapir
#

128 is good, the maps just sucked

acoustic seal
#

the maps are a direct consequence of 128

quaint vector
#

Would love 128 Breakthrough tho..

next onyx
#

The game at launch with 128p the way it was was awful.

#

But as they've specifically rebuilt the maps around 64p it just wouldn't work.

vapid crystal
gritty tapir
#

conquest is a doodoo gamemode anyways, regardless of how many players there are

vapid crystal
#

It's like a cobweb, you wanna get to one, you gotta tangle througg everyone else

next onyx
#

Maybe just me but when custom vehicle stations contribute the mortar spam and all that shit it's just... Mhhhh.

arctic grove
next onyx
#

Yeah.

arctic grove
#

And by the looks of it the most apparent issues with 128 as far as map design don’t exist with it

#

Not sure how they will handle it once it’s 24/7 playlist gets removed

acoustic seal
#

making a map without all the huge empty nothingness leads to better playability, who'd have thunk?

#

sucks they can't carve out huge chunks of the old maps

next onyx
#

Considering that the game was rushed they probably had to go with what they could.

very few playable spaces, ungodly amounts of spam

Then again, I suppose such a game would suffer from the same problems as any open world game

like unironically giving apache tv missiles would solve alot of vehicle camping problems

acoustic seal

it sits at the top of my steam most played list as a monument to time wasted playing terrible games

Technically though planetside sounds crazy.

safe bramble

but i guess giving tv missiles to anything other than infantry is op

#

right?

next onyx

the bots u see were all in my tank

patent prism
#

I'm very ambivalent when it comes to open-world games, but given the much larger audience of Battlefield fans compared to Planetside, I think a modern/near-future Planetside 2-esque Battlefield game would do quite well presuming advancements could be made in the engine to support that type of insane scale.

I'd assume reset so tuesday

OH!!! Ok cool

Thx

Btw that was me trying to ping the dice role lol

Unless they specified a different day but usually updates come out on resets lmao

Once Tuesday update hits the S5 pass will be up

Good because I have the bfc from current one to buy next one

I think i'm missing 200 coins but thats fine, i can ger it later

thorny oracle
#

200 coins not much if you're not at stage 100 already

#

And have current one

#

Already

#

I've been stage 100 for a while so I just been waiting and shooting lol

#

Is that rank or stage?

#

I forget

#

I'm assuming stage because rank 100 is s001

Can bf2042 get Operations? And behemoths like BF1

How big of an impact will the new spread changes have on auto fire

#

Also won’t it still affect bursting because it’s not about how long you hold your trigger but when your on the bottom half of you mag?

#

I can already tell someone is an asshole by the way they play in this FNB.

#

Literally a G57 and a AK24 with Drum just holding M1

After he used a RM68 and AM40. Like my guy you can kill someone in a single shot with the M44 and it takes 6+ headshots to down you

Not really. You know what they call soldiers using flight systems in battle? Skeet.

I meant it was as easy as it has to be

#

Sundance’s survival in the air is dependent more on stealth than evasion

#

They fly nigh-silently and can do so from nearly anywhere

Also there’s enough giant trash bags floating around in the air that a lot of people straight up ignore human sized targets now

#

Jesus I hate those bags

Honestly, you know that Russia’s involved in this war because there’s so much rubbish strewn about

#

too much clutter in this game

still getting sometimes fooled by the buried traffic lights on Hourglass too

I can't believe they're adding random bullet spread back into the game. And only for assault rifles to begin with. How about they fix aim assist first. Just lol 🤦‍♂️

pearl ridge
#

Eh it just means they can’t beam you from 150m

#

Sounds like an improvement

bitter mulch
#

Yeah

arctic grove
#

Random spread should not exist in FPS games. Period

pearl ridge
#

Increased recoil wouldn’t solve the problem because the beamers have figured out exactly how much they need to adjust by to keep their guns rock steady

#

This ain’t counter strike

arctic grove
pearl ridge
#

I do want that too

#

randomized recoil CursedCat

pearl ridge
#

If the only limiting factor in a game is skill alone, you create a hostile environment for everyone else.

#

In tf2, high level snipers lock down entire servers because nobody can counter them

thick shadow
#

Now that i have a job i want to do a backflip to celebrate

arctic grove
#

So we should make everyone feel like they suck, because bullets aren't going where they are aiming?

misty briar
plush jay
#

I'm more confused why they're only implementing more spread/dispersion now for AR's
instead of like all weapons across the game

maybe they wanna gauge playerreaction so they can still pedal back with relative ease

pearl ridge
#

It doesn’t make sense for a human to be able to hold their gun completely steady like that anyway

delicate canyon
arctic grove
#

Random bullet spread with the horrible aim assist in this game will make it feel worse than it already does. The aim assist bubble already pushes you off target

plush jay

it's bf
what makes sense in this game

There are way more low level than high level players so it's not like everygame someone does that

#

Every fucking guy is using Rm68s and we need to break it up

delicate canyon
#

Well that gun is op and everyone knows it

#

It has no recoil and the damage is high

#

No need to counter the recoil really

arctic grove
#

I prefer LMG's to AR's in 2042 tbh

misty briar
#

I like to play dmrs and mps too but not because they are stronger than ars

pearl ridge
#

We need more dmrs

misty briar
#

Why

arctic grove
#

We need more guns in every weapon category

misty briar
#

Why

pearl ridge
#

There’s like three non-portal ones and frankly the suppressed one is more like an assault rifle hybrid

misty briar
#

Bsv is strong af ye. The vcar is good too. And ppl tend to use svk

arctic grove
# misty briar Why

Because there aren't enough. Remember this game only launched with two LMG's and three or four AR's. Prehaps vault weapons will become more viable now they're adding more attachments to them.

pearl ridge
#

I refuse to acknowledge the vcar as a dmr

arctic grove
#

Same

delicate canyon
#

same

pearl ridge
#

It’s not even a rifle!

misty briar
#

I dont rly think attachments add rly something to it. The usual attachments u need for the vault weapon are alrdy there. They are viable. They add more so ppl are more interested in them

pearl ridge
#

I hope they don’t replace the original attachments

arctic grove
misty briar
#

They dont need it to be viable

arctic grove
#

They kinda do

misty briar
#

Atleast the m16 is crazy strong

#

Ur an lmg playery. When u say they need bigger mags its kinda not valid no front👀

pearl ridge
#

The portal LMGs have extended mags available. They don’t appear to have downsides.

#

Zavod is pretty much the only base bf4 map I don’t dislike

royal trail
#

pp29 and rm68 are about the only guns i can get kills with

#

does that mean im bad at the game?

#

😦

pearl ridge
#

One of the reasons why I tolerate Zavod is because its helicopters aren’t completely obnoxious, thanks to the guaranteed aa vehicles

#

And specifically having compact enough airspace that those vehicles can actually get some shots in

#

While there’s also enough cover for the choppers to evade behind

#

So it’s actually balanced

#

The rm68 is one of the reasons why I don’t like modern era stuff

#

Weapons are getting very fancy nowadays. Suppressor and muzzle brake in one, with minimal effect on ballistic performance?

#

All while firing a fancy 6.8mm cartridge

#

How do you balance that?

Guys i just joined this discord and im having one hell of a time figuring out this issue im having. For whatever reason i have this autofire bug/ cant sprint. Its like my default keybinds for the game are broken or something. I have tried rebinding but I'd rather not because i end up not being able to use vehicles and turrets. Is this some sort of bug in the game or is there a way to fix it by chance? i've scoured reddit with no help i've tried deleting the game and reinstalling and nothing has worked to fix it. Basicallyt i spawn into a match and instantly start spamming my assault rifle and i cant sprint or do anything its annoying. I want to be able to enjoy the game because i know its not terrible.

#

you're in pc right?

#

I also refuse to play the rm68

i hate the rm68

I honestly used the rm68 as an smg

It’s gonna be even better after the update

Rm68 op

arctic grove
#

The problem with some vault weapons is that they're just overshadowed, not that they're bad

arctic grove
wide shore
#

Most of them are pretty bad tho.

arctic grove
#

they shouldn't buff them to be in pair with the op weapons, they should nerf the op weapons instead

robust vapor
hardy hill
arctic grove
#

then I don't know what to do

#

I played on console

wide shore
#

They’re not really getting buffed per say. They’re just getting proper attachments. Which should make them feel better.

just moved to laptop

it was boring that 80% of the time they only had bipod, grip and sights

Hey I need to settle an argument with a friend

#

which, in your opinion, is better:

#

a) Battlefield 4
b) Battlefield 1

dusk falcon

*for 7 days

arctic grove
#

I'm never buying a thing on games lol

#

only the game and that's all

and only if they're in sale like BF1

lilac dust
wide shore
arctic grove
#

what do you mean?

wide shore
#

It’s much better than 4

pine roost
arctic grove
#

I think they're both the greatest, BF1 is way more inmersive, but BF4 has some better maps

wide shore
#

I very much disagree with the latter sentiment.

arctic grove
#

But if I had to chose one, BF1 because I'm a bitch for everything related to WWI and WWII

wide shore
#

To me, the worst part of BF4 is it’s maps.

arctic grove
#

and also to hear german guys

wide shore
#

They’re mostly terrible and the dlc sucks.

pine roost
#

there were only a few maps I actually enjoyed

but the gameplay takes the cake for me

Also, time to drop a bomb:

arctic grove
#

the best DLC in the history of BF is "war in the pacific" from BFV

wide shore
#

That’s honestly fair

#

Even though not every map launched at the same time

#

That was the only problem with it

pine roost
#

I wasn't a fan of most of the pacific maps

wide shore
#

I thought they were all good

#

Wake was kinda underwhelming

I played it on a friend's house, but never got to own a BF game until V came free in ps plus

ok so i suck balls at bf2042 and fps games in general, k/d is 0.4 lol. anyone have advice on how to get better and not suck?

Is there any way of transferring progress from xbox to pc

or will I have to redo everything

wide shore
#

This game has cross progression through your EA account

#

Afaik

arctic grove
#

well for real this time:
I can only really give advice on medic, so, here's my top 3 things to never do as medic:

  1. Don't revive teammates that died to a good sniper/tank/camper
  2. You need to play mostly on backlines and help to push, don't be solo wolf assault main #1352362
  3. If a teammate dies to an stupid way, T-bag him before rez
chilly lichen
arctic grove
#

no

chilly lichen
#

i play mostly assault

wide shore
arctic grove
pine roost
#

use cover to isolate the potential angles you are exposed from, start of slow but build up the speed as you gain confidence

wide shore
#

I have found that positioning is the #1 most important aspect of getting better at battlefield. At least from a stats perspective.

arctic grove
#

also, general tip to everyone: if you die, PLEASE, spot the enemy who killed you

wide shore
#

I have generally shit aim. But I can do well just because of positioning.

#

And map awareness

pine roost
#

given the number of potential angles that enemies can be, positioning is definitely the killer most of the time

arctic grove
#

my aim is fine I guess, only thing I struggle with is close quarters (on console)

pine roost
#

when aim and movement is more the deciding factor in one on one engagements

arctic grove
#

who needs movement when I can just shoot you?

pine roost
#

The point of movement is to avoid getting shot

arctic grove
#

The closer you are to the enemy the less impactful movement is

pine roost
#

that's not necessarily true

arctic grove
#

for me, it is

chilly jacinth
#

its very impactful upclose too

arctic grove
#

only if you face someone with an attention span of 0.000001 seconds

#

and 0.0000001 sens

#

movement is more impactful in longer ranges

pine roost
#

if you are close, you create a larger angle by using any form of movement. Up close you have the potential to completely wrap around someone, forcing them to make a 180 degree turn. Whereas at medium to long range it only requires a slight microcorrection to get back on target, and movement throws that off

chilly jacinth
#

its very easy to throw someones aim off at close range

arctic grove
#

yeah

#

but I shot you

#

what you gonna do about it?

pine roost
#

run around you

#

it doesn't take one shot to kill someone

chilly jacinth
#

hardcore

pine roost
#

unless you can track well, that person will rotate around you

chilly jacinth
arctic grove
#

no, but in the time you were moving like a madman I shot you 5 times

pine roost
#

if you can track well, then sure

#

good aim counters movement

chilly jacinth
#

you can move and shoot

pine roost
#

so if you can track them, good for you

arctic grove
#

only shooter I know where movement is key is super animal royale

pine roost
#

huh

#

that sounds like a roblox game

arctic grove
arctic grove
chilly jacinth
#

bro what shooters have you been playing

pine roost
#

movement is key in practically every shooter that doesn't intentionally dumb it down

arctic grove
#

its in steam lol

pine roost
#

MW2, squad, tarkov etc

#

but even in tarkov movement is key

#

it's not so much movement with the intent to avoid fire, but moreso repositioning

arctic grove
#

it would be if it wasn't full of hackers

pine roost
#

I've not encountered many blatant ones so far, but I don't have the experience to discern hackers from regular players :/

#

all in all, learn movement

#

it can only benefit you

arctic grove
#

That is until you face a shotgun lol

wide shore
#

Movement, positioning, map awareness. All come with time.

#

But prolly the best stuff to learn

arctic grove
#

best thing to learn is to T-bag

wide shore
#

But regardless. Having fun is the most important thing.

arctic grove
#

so T-bagging it is

arctic grove
#

that is what I meant by 0.000001 sens people

#

besides, he didn't seem very aware of his sorroundings

pine roost
#

if you can land the shot then yes, movement is neutered, but again good movement basically means you'll out move anyone without any decent tracking skill

wide shore
#

I play with really low sensitivity. But I also play on console so that’s pretty par for the course.

pine roost
#

that doesn't mean it's a pointless skill

arctic grove
#

it's not a pointless skill, I just say it's more dependant in how skilled the enemy is

pine roost
#

exactly, using no movement means you're more likely to get killed by someone with a weaker aim skill

#

but of course using it just means you'll have a better chance to survive

arctic grove
#

yep, but with similar skill levels, it's just who can aim better

#

and who is using the meta weapon lol

This map is fucking awful

#

are there better weapons than m5a3 orrr should i just stick with that

pearl ridge
#

I’d rather say that nothing is better than anything

#

But in this game that’s demonstrably false

#

Branch out though

arctic grove
#

i guess i should ask a different question... which guns should i stay away from xD

next onyx
#

There aren't too many weapons to stay away from.

#

Try the m16a3 if you're familiar with the m5.

delicate hollow
arctic grove
delicate hollow
#

It's more personal preference

arctic grove
#

fair enough

delicate hollow
#

I like the M5 because i can stick a short barrel on it with the cqc rounds

arctic grove
#

i just feel like i find an early start gun in any game and once im "good" at it, im afraid to try anything else and maybe thats why i get bored with fps games lmao

arctic grove
delicate hollow
#

That's fair, I got so attached with one of the default guns from cod cold war that I didn't use any other AR for a long time

next onyx
#

Default guns are usually the more easier to get into guns.

#

But the m5a3 is definitely a good end game weapon.

#

Short barrel and extended rounds makes it great for closer range.

chilly lichen
#

wow i got 5 kills in one match, died 10 times and im in the 54th position such a great player

next onyx
#

The m16a3 trades 60 RPM for much more range.

delicate hollow
#

The sfar is a good heavy hitting gun

#

I use that for tank busting

#

The AK feels great for long range infantry fights imo

arctic grove
#

in every bf game, i always go with medic and the default stuff. attachments are the only things i fuck around with

I have a hard time using it for hipfire because I always seem to run into the people using the pp29 or somehow still the vector. Nice clip 🙂

delicate hollow
#

If the gew doesn't recoil too much I'm gonna love running that gun

solid imp
#

I kinda hope it has some personality like a unique recoil pattern

arctic grove

as their teammate, i wouldve tried reviving every single one of them xD

lone imp
#

is there a bf2042 crash log?

chilly jacinth
#

what in the world are they even doing

arctic grove
solid imp
#

I can't quite figure out when some of the newer animations happen.. like that landing in your clip or when a medic revives you and you stumble and roll back up into combat.

chilly jacinth
#

did they all lose the ability to see and hear

pearl ridge
#

I’ve had to back out of so many servers because they were at like 50-600 tickets when I got in

#

Fucks sake maybe I’d stick around if we actually had permanent lobbies so I’d at least know there’s another game after that

#

Now though? It’s just wasting my time.

solid imp
#

It's surprisingly effective jumping into the middle of a group because if they turn they're equally likely to see their teammate and friendly icon as they are to see you and your red glow sticks. That moment of confusion is clutch

#

No such thing as dirty tricks in combat 💪

realism in videogames is overrated as hell

same with graphics

left hollow
#

it only goes so far before diminishing returns

arctic grove

companies nowadays just copy paste the same game but with a different skin and "better" graphics

Best example: activision

we went from having great games like MW2 (old) to shitty games only made to make money

crisp prawn
arctic grove

we used to have gems in the industry like BF1/BF4, but now, BF2042 feels like an odd kid between cod and battlefield

i do like it when its slightly realistic

for example the reloads

like little things

arctic grove

yep

little things are great to have (example, the whistle of the squad ledear in BF1), but overrealism just make a game frustating
