battlefield-2042

[royal swan]

Feels way more accurate

[topaz breach]

JUST GOT T1 WITH FALCK

[royal swan]

Nice

[arctic grove]

thats what im using 😦

[topaz breach]

nah

I mean people are on, just not what you'd expect on like a Friday or Saturday

[idle lion]

i keep getting disconnected

thats why im asking

[arctic grove]

happened to me just now as well. i just spammed "retry" to connect to servers

[topaz breach]

scuffed

I've had no problems

the ping has been jacked though

[steady agate]

Is battlefield 2042 worth buying rn?

The only time i checked up on it

Was on release date and it had bugs etc

[chilly jacinth]

we cant decide if its worth it for you

[steady agate]

It would be best if you just

Leave your own review of it

Or what u think of it

[arctic grove]

it sucked ass at launch. in my opinion its a lot more fun now

[chilly jacinth]

its not a buggy mess as it was on launch, still has bugs though, content it has is fun although somewhat lacking id say

general gameplay is fun imo

but has some balance issues

[steady agate]

i see

[somber vine]

How would i be able get a Player background card "Test of Faith" if i missed the chance to purchase Escalation Battle Pass?

[arctic grove]

to anyone here who has learnt rifle aim on heli, how long did it take to get used to?

[misty briar]

buy it for a good price. its worth it. but not steam payment worth it

[pallid spindle]

i went the subscription route and have dumped ~400hrs into mp, maybe that is a low-risk option for you considering a month of play is $5

[ripe hedge]

I'm biased but yes

[dire salmon]

I am new to this game, from what I can see it is a little unbalanced, but not in an extreme way, the thing that bothers me is the skill gap, I am currently level 11 and I get paired against levels R….. (and then they tea-bag me, ARE YOU FU***** HAPPY TO TEABAG SOMEONE THAT JUST STARTED THE GAME?).
In any case it’s not a difficult game to pick up, I’m seeing my skill level rising a little bit every day, I don’t know if it’s really your tipe of game but I really like it

[elfin coral]

so what vehicles besides the tanks have thermal sights?

[dire salmon]

[fervent rose]

@ripe hedge So I think the spread changes are pretty good, but I still think there's something a bit off about how bursting feels. Is there any chance you are willing to mess around with the IRM(initial recoil modifier) stuff for bursting? I understand the first shots multiplier being really harsh for that first full auto, but subsequent bursts could be toned down I believe.

Something like this is what I propose: The initial full auto gets the full IRM values, but subsequent bursts get something like 0.5 IRM values, until the player is done bursting and the entire system resets.

[dapper river]

DICE needs to bring back persistent servers in AOW Rush, or at the very least reintroduce side switching. I don't know why they changed it in S5 but it's awful now that you get spat back out to the lobby after every game and have to requeue, often for the same 3-4 maps, instead of the maps being in a set order. You were at least guaranteed to eventually play the map you want, but not anymore

[frosty crane]

New players come and go all the time.. we were all new players once upon a time

[ripe hedge]

Thanks for the feedback!

[steady agate]

What do u mean by subscription route

[ebon pilot]

shoutout to the 2042 sound designer the fact that the sound of gun fire changes smoothly as you walk from inside to outside is such a nice touch

[steady agate]

Don't tell me i gotta pay to play 💀

[ebon pilot]

EA Play vs buying the game outright

[fervent rose]

you can get EA play for 5 bucks, or wait for a sale and get the game for 15

[limber orbit]

cheap option to trying out the game

[steady agate]

So wait

If i buy the game

Do i need to pay also for matches?

[ebon pilot]

no

[fervent rose]

hell no

[limber orbit]

what

[steady agate]

Okay good

Sorry my brain went into a dark world

[fervent rose]

the only "paid content" is a few sights that come with custom skins

[steady agate]

Okay

Good

[fervent rose]

they barely matter though

[steady agate]

I'll just buy the game off a sale then

What's the lowest sale it has ever gotten to

[fervent rose]

steam had it at 15 last time

[steady agate]

I need that ong

That's a great discount

[limber orbit]

might be on the summer sale

[fervent rose]

most likely will be yep

thats in a week

[restive pine]

is it me or are 2042 queue times fairly lengthy atm?

[hallow fractal]

why is it guaranteed that anybody who is driving a vehicle will get it stuck 10 seconds from starting and any gunner on your vehicle is just completely blind and cant see enemies spotted even if you turn the vehicle so they are pointed straight at them

seems like 95% of the people on this game are missing any kind of central nervous system

[misty briar]

yes

premates are key for no frustration

[hallow fractal]

not really a battlefield game especially the way people play

[edgy oriole]

once on exposure i spawned latv with AA so we had a chance against helo. dude spawned in the gunner seat the tabbed out the game

i was like bro. how are you gonna spawn in the gunner. the tab out when the helo spawns

then i left the squad

[hallow fractal]

engineers dont repair, supports dont drop supplies, assault is just lame the way they grapple around it's just so much goofy gadgetry, riot shield is obviously bad for every reason, tor tank hasn't really got a downside it's just a hitscan tank, 128 players is too much of a mess with people coming from everywhere, 64 players is playable, smgs are useless and get outgunned even at close range

tbh to me it feels like they dont even playtest it they just go what goofy shit does fortnite have lets put that in

tried flying for the first time and the physics for that feels awful

they have no inertia

yea it's pretty much guaranteed that gunners go afk

first battlefield game where ive had these problems every single match

easier to get a good score playing solo just running and gunning rather than playing as a squad or working with people in a vehicle

its sad

[chilly jacinth]

sounds like any bf game to me

[hallow fractal]

only spent 15 quid on it so thats good but its disappointing

[limber orbit]

ye was about to say thats any bf

[edgy oriole]

i mean. bfv had a feature added specifically bc supports didnt help

[hallow fractal]

idk in bf1 and 5 i was getting regular games where i had a group working together to keep a vehicle going

[chilly jacinth]

playing as a squad has always been poopoo

[solid imp]

But can we agree that infantry breakthrough is made for Dozer? 🙂

[edgy oriole]

so not running into it is cap

[solid imp]

whoever is saying the shield is crap...

mmk

[hallow fractal]

shield isn't crap lol it's just disgusting

[edgy oriole]

that was 5 years ago kaos

[radiant prism]

It would seem so

[chilly jacinth]

its disgustingly op

[radiant prism]

I will say

The joy of playing dozer for me is kinda gone

It was fun when he was shittier

[limber orbit]

so many of them now

[solid imp]

-_- I play fullscreen, can't get a windows clock in the picture lol

[hallow fractal]

i had 4 dozers running towards me earleir and an rpg did nothing to them

[edgy oriole]

i love eating dozer toes. hes never been a problem for me

he ass and will always be ass to me

[fervent rose]

nah they added things like crates to the maps in bfv for this problem. and then they even added the hardline ability to grab ammo/hp off of teammates

[chilly jacinth]

Hes always been a problem for me

[fervent rose]

bf players are pretty careless

[chilly jacinth]

He disrupts the gameplay too much

[hallow fractal]

i know i played it, but it was still common for people to drop boxes because they actually got a decent amount of points for it

[fervent rose]

there's a bizarre myth in the community that bf players are teamplay oriented

they really never were, ever, in any bf title

[hallow fractal]

they were definitely more teamplay oriented in previous titles

[limber orbit]

nope

[fervent rose]

no the majority were just chucking explosives

[chilly jacinth]

Cap of the decade

[fervent rose]

or sniping

[placid echo]

My knife begs to differ

[chilly jacinth]

Squad and teamplay is rare

[edgy oriole]

this mans nostalgia is playing tricks on him

[hallow fractal]

no? i was playing bfv the other day and it's like people actually understand its a team game

[chilly jacinth]

The only time it aint rare is when you're playing the older games where the dedicated few stayed

[fervent rose]

bf is a big mass of individualistic players playing on the same team

[chilly jacinth]

Cause they actually know how to play

[edgy oriole]

and the other half is cheaters

[hallow fractal]

i mean its not their fault that dice let the cheaters run rampant to push us away from that game and try to force us to get 2042 instead

but when you get a game without someone called 221001000299

[edgy oriole]

its a dead game. why waste even more money on a product thats making them nothing

[hallow fractal]

its bliss

its dead because they killed it

[solid imp]

no no it's ||||III!II11|i1|

[edgy oriole]

its dead bc its 25 years old and there is a new game out

[hallow fractal]

pretty sure bfv isnt 25 years old

[edgy oriole]

84 years my fault

[hallow fractal]

i meant the remake not the original

[limber orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/its-been84years-titanic-rose-dawson-gif-5372593

[hallow fractal]

only thing i really enjoy in 2042 is blasting down attack helis with rpgs but thats just because everyone ignores them despite repeatedly dying to them

[limber orbit]

ignorance is bliss

[hallow fractal]

unfortunately being on a team with 60 people who think ignorance is bliss is a bit of a shit time

[limber orbit]

tho peoples ability to take out equipment is almost non existent

[chilly jacinth]

indeed

i got killed by that yesterday

[limber orbit]

spawn beacon RIGHT there and they run off

[hallow fractal]

yep every time

its not a person so their monkey brain doesnt recognise it

[chilly jacinth]

8 guys walked past a beacon

dude spawns on it and kills me and a few others

[edgy oriole]

the radar is actually kinda hard to see it so small and fits into the area

[hallow fractal]

tugs?

[edgy oriole]

makes me double take with my thermal

yeah

[chilly jacinth]

mind you i killed the beacon and walked past

[hallow fractal]

yea its a bit tiny

[limber orbit]

tugs i sorta understand but also BEEP BEEP

[chilly jacinth]

but the game is funny and lets you spawn on dead beacons

[hallow fractal]

yea had that a few times

break a beacon then a couple seconds later an enemy appears

[limber orbit]

its like a HLL spawn give a couple secs after smashing lol

[hallow fractal]

the spawns in this are so shit

[limber orbit]

any bf again tho

[hallow fractal]

true but they could try to improve it for once

[crude juniper]

did they revert the animations?

[jovial jay]

Rendezvous just gave me a taste of 1942 bomber

[limber orbit]

huh

[jovial jay]

This thing wreck if you know how to drop

[hallow fractal]

im just not a fan of having those operators i prefer being a random soldier

[jovial jay]

Otherwise its sort of frustrating lol

[limber orbit]

it was weird in the start with the specialists but ive moved past that

[crude juniper]

the fact that they could call them assault, engenier, support, medic, spec op, sniper and so on didnt cross their minds that would sell so ez

[edgy oriole]

i didnt/dont care about them or being a rando. i think they shouldve kept it like bfv elites tho

[jovial jay]

Also the b17 is damn sturdy lol, I hit my wing on an antenna tower and the plane rotated 180 degree then lost 1/5 HP

[fervent rose]

at this point the specialists only annoy me with how much battle chatter they spam. falck/mackay never shut up

a volume slider for that would be 10/10

[solid imp]

"oh god whyyyyyyyy" ~mackay

[hallow fractal]

i absolutely hate the blabber at the start of every game

[limber orbit]

dude

it was WAY worse

[calm bison]

Yeah it was

[hallow fractal]

i dont care it makes me want to put my thumbs in my eyes

[limber orbit]

if you mean the little story at the start thats eh

[calm bison]

Ok would you rather have:
“Time to get the fuck into dodge”
Or
“Aw I’m ready. Ever since I climbed Everest it’s been all downhill from here. Get it?”

[fervent rose]

both are equally bad tbh

[hallow fractal]

I would rather have my thumbs in my eyes

[hallow fractal]

yea the dungeon master giving us context for the battle

i dont care just give me the battlefield dun dun dun da dun dun

[calm bison]

Honestly I like the whole announcer thing at the beginning of the game

[limber orbit]

damn DM thats a good name for it lol

[fervent rose]

but you must receive THE LORE

[hallow fractal]

we dont knwo why the russians care about this washed up boat but we are going to attack them for it

[solid imp]

I like the captions/quotes they added to the bottom of the loading screen

[jovial jay]

Have you heard Lis' scream when she got hit by an incendiary nade

[limber orbit]

well cus they have a sub in it

[solid imp]

YES it's amazing

[jovial jay]

Absolute chaos

[fervent rose]

i like how i dont know of half of the random characters

[hallow fractal]

i am just not big on lore in fps games

[fervent rose]

"the jaguar" like okay sure thats definitely relevant

[calm bison]

“This cargo ship holding a Russian nuclear sub could contain important information related to the war effort, so we’re going after it”

[fierce gull]

are the songs on the radio actual songs?

[calm bison]

IDK

I know at least one of them is

[limber orbit]

think ive heard overture before

[calm bison]

And it’s a rock version of the Soviet anthem

[limber orbit]

or the other one

i dunno the names

[hallow fractal]

theres a post on it called radio songs list for fellow listeners

[jovial jay]

Idk I dont survive long enough in radio enabled vehicle to know it

[solid imp]

I love Lis' scream because if you get it to time out right it sounds like a war cry

[limber orbit]

nothing like blasting jazz and running over enemies

[calm bison]

Petition to give the jet rocket pods a little extra range

[jovial jay]

As soon as I start vibing a random mackay hooked to my tank and kamikazed with c5

[hallow fractal]

hook will never not be cheesy

[limber orbit]

never gonna understand the kamikaze with C5

[calm bison]

JEEP STUFF

[jovial jay]

Haha that shit startled me when I first heard it

[limber orbit]

like dude just run for 2 secs and click it

[hallow fractal]

if you're more than 0.6m from it you will live

[calm bison]

I need to start playing Dozer more often

[solid imp]

Yes

That's an accurate statement

[calm bison]

I do miss his old mastery requirements but hey the new stuff shouldn’t be too much harder

[limber orbit]

wait hold up how did you survive an SPH stuck to you?

friendly?

[calm bison]

Irish APS

[limber orbit]

oooh

[solid imp]

I was baffled by that at the time as well but nearby APS or something is my only guess

[limber orbit]

oh nice didnt know they shot stuck ones

[solid imp]

like I got stuck and then ran close enough that Irish went zip zap zoo , brushed it off me

[arctic grove]

how do i get the veteran pack?

[jovial jay]

Own previous BFs

[arctic grove]

i logged in to bf4 and it said i unlocked it but i went back to 2042 and i don’t have it

[jovial jay]

But I think it has a time requirement too maybe?

Like if you purchase other Bf now would it work

[calm bison]

Oh by the way

I found an interesting bug

If you jump out of your jet while it’s being locked on and then get back in while it’s still locked on to it plays the old lock on sound effect

From like the alpha

[jovial jay]

Providing that you havent fallen like a fish

💀

[calm bison]

Well with jets like the felon where they basically have a picnic blanket for a profile you shouldn’t have a problem

[jovial jay]

Nice point of view lol

And US got the fat one

Instead of the f22

[calm bison]

The F-35 is pretty slim

It’s the smaller of the two jets and I think it works in that benefit

Given that in turn fights the felon has a larger hitbox

[jovial jay]

Vtol is cool and nice but nowadays its too dangerous to engage in f35 vtol

[calm bison]

The existence of the TOR makes the VTOL too risky

Also here’s an idea to fix transport choppers

-Remove 50mm and grenade pod and add a third minigun or spotter
-CONDOR:
•Make it Tankier but slower, in order to compensate for a large hitbox
•Increase lock on time for it
-HIND:
•Lower tankiness but make it faster

[shell ermine]

Man fuck Dozer and people who use him

[calm bison]

L take

@radiant prism

[shell ermine]

They should've given the shield a time limit/health bar

[jovial jay]

Or get the condor tf outta here and give us a jacked up blackhawk

[calm bison]

I would agree but the condor is really cool

[chilly jacinth]

a blackhawk wouldnt stand a chance against a super hind

[calm bison]

Also I know this has been said already

But the Wildcat needs a range nerf

Severely

[jovial jay]

Make it even more maneuverable compared to the hind

BC2 blackhawk feels good to play

So far I've been using the Condor like a parachute spawn platform

[fierce gull]

just give me a osprey skin for the condor

[jovial jay]

Its too sluggish for close air support

[shell ermine]

I like that Breakthrough tells me "Switching to Defender" now after a round so I can back out early

[fervent rose]

sometimes you still end up on attacker twice in a row

the switching to system is buggy

[inner ether]

I am not getting assists as Dozer when I'm the target of someone who dies

Do they need to shoot from behind me over my shield for it to count?

[carmine rover]

meow

[jovial jay]

[inner ether]

[carmine rover]

please. give me good teammates

i beg of you gods of battlefield

[inner ether]

Some days I jsut stop trying to play this game

[jovial jay]

Sometimes AI shoot better than my teammates

[frank rain]

Is large conquest working

[jovial jay]

Lagfest

[cinder tapir]

anyone German ?

[shell ermine]

Wow the M416 is nice now

[jovial jay]

Everything is fine, 128 conquest lag tf out for me

[waxen turret]

matchmaking issues?

[inner ether]

I have a bug where when I leave a game, the game goes black

nothing happens

and I have to Alt F4 out of it

[waxen turret]

Bf2042 update now lol?

1,93 gb

[wide shore]

Is it actually now?

It was slammin before the update. But felt lackluster after

[stuck anchor]

matchmaking still broken?

[mighty holly]

who’s the 4 iconic specialist in 2042

Asking for a lad

[dire salmon]

This guy

This guy🗿

[carmine rover]

can someone explain what happened in this clip?

[dire salmon]

This guy

And that one

[inner ether]

What the fuck

[fervent rose]

the wonders of 2042's networking

[dire salmon]

What

[carmine rover]

i just find it really funny the guy saw me parachute in on him and still didnt react

[dire salmon]

[fervent rose]

looks like an 55 fov console player reacting on some really low sens

he does move just.. in slow motion

[dire salmon]

Me when I started the game

[mighty holly]

lad also has irl lag

Not to mention his lad didn’t even try to help his lad

lad should kept on shooting faster other than seeing his beloved lad getting brutally murdered

[dire salmon]

I loved the part when lad said its laddin time and then proceed to lad all over the place

[wide shore]

I play on low sense but 90FOV

BB

[carmine rover]

his lad saw me parachute in on his lad, and brutally bonk his lad to death

he was probably traumatized on what happened

but is no one talking about the deagle?

[ebon pilot]

the weirdest part is the fact that the slide is locked back on your bfp

[carmine rover]

yeah it still was locked even after i shoot

it fixed itself when i died though lol

but it was like that for the remainer of my life

[fervent rose]

visual bugs are so common i didnt register it

[kindred flint]

You're mistaken, bfp fires from the open bolt position

[dire salmon]

Are there some good assault weapons that I should experiment whit?

[shell ermine]

The accuracy stat on attachments negates some of the dispersion, right?

[ebon pilot]

switched ammo types maybe? might've fixed it

[carmine rover]

bolt action assault rifle

[carmine rover]

^

[kindred flint]

Literally any ar is good

[fervent rose]

the starter AR m5a3 is excellent. rm68 acwr and am40 are also great choices

[carmine rover]

m416

[kindred flint]

Am40 is more close range but it rips

[dire salmon]

[fervent rose]

ye am40 cuts range but it absolutely slaps for cqb fights

[carmine rover]

the ac 42 is criminally underrated

[dusky tulip]

whats the new Meta Assault rife ?

[kindred flint]

I was a fan of it before the buff

[fervent rose]

acwr went from zero to hero

[kindred flint]

Why they increased the rof is.. beyond me

[carmine rover]

always and will always be the m5

[kindred flint]

no short barrel

[carmine rover]

imagine the avancys with short barrel

[chilly jacinth]

No

Lets not imagine such a world

[edgy oriole]

he didnt switch to his pistol when he shouldve

[drowsy shuttle]

this is an example of how busted takedowns are... don't get me wrong, im a fan of takedowns is one (if not the most) of the things i love to do in the game... and some seasons ago triggering a takedown was very frustrating because you need to be in the perfect position and even then was not garanteed... but right now... its too much.. i mean from almost everywhere you can trigger a takedown... IMO they need to tweak a lil bit down

[quiet shell]

I hope the AKS-74U get's a new animation someday

cause the current one is distractingly rough

[lament iron]

KEKW

[warm stirrup]

Mtar

Mtar + warhawk compensator & grip

Mtar has 900 rpm

They recently buffed it

5.0.1

[patent path]

damage reduced tho

[warm stirrup]

Thing is the new Rm68

[patent path]

m416 pretty good

m16 too

[lament iron]

Ak 24 is decent

[warm stirrup]

G36c is decent

[patent path]

all the ars are doing well actually

[abstract dawn]

Wait, this game has guns? I always throw rocks

[patent path]

add rock to 2042 please

[lament iron]

naw, you must be thinking of that trash game where you end up in a gulag

[warm stirrup]

Slingshot does increased damage with rock

[abstract dawn]

Time to poke one of the designers 😉

[abstract dawn]

I’m shocked, truly shocked

[patent path]

please nerf frostbite down to 24fps so I can enjoy it cinematically

[abstract dawn]

Hmm, interesting idea. You might just be onto something there

[patent path]

[somber vine]

How would i be able get a Player background card "Test of Faith" if i missed the chance to purchase Escalation Battle Pass?

[patent path]

you steal some other guy's account who has it

[lament iron]

When you are in a squad with randoms, is there a game chat option ( for voice) rather than the chat box where you type?

[patent path]

yes

there is voice chat

[lament iron]

how do you activate it ?

[patent path]

check the in-game setting

V is default maybe, Idk

[fervent rose]

yea theres in game voip, but most people dont use it

[lament iron]

Is that why they are all over the map instead of sticking with the squad?

[warm stirrup]

Don't forget voip isn't proximity chat

[fervent rose]

the avg player just doesnt care at all about squadplay and that's been the case forever

unless they are playing with friends, they dont do it

[lament iron]

[fervent rose]

its not like theres high stakes

[abstract dawn]

the stakes couldn't be higher actually

[warm stirrup]

If 2042 had proximity chat it'd be a lot more fun

[patent path]

yeah I turn off voip because it's not that difficult to play the objective in bf, and I don't want to listen to multiple gamers breathing through their mouth into the mic

[wide shore]

Or having really sensitive mics where you can hear everything in the background

[fervent rose]

yup the rare people that do have voip on are annoying

[warm stirrup]

Battlebit remastered has proximity chat and is 256 players and is great

[abstract dawn]

just blast music through voip

[lament iron]

or someone's smoke detector needs a new battery

[lament iron]

256? LMAO with proximity chat?

[warm stirrup]

Yee

[lament iron]

people running around calling others trash and talking about their moms , fun

[fervent rose]

it helps that the avg age of battlebit players is gonna be higher

[abstract dawn]

that's fair, i'm trash

[warm stirrup]

True

[lament iron]

LMAO well your name says it ?

[abstract dawn]

my name is tash actually not trash 🙃

[lament iron]

bamboozeled 🤣

[abstract dawn]

this is the way

[drowsy shuttle]

Do i need to know something about the TOR? Why lis rockets dont affect it?

Ah wait.. maybe blasco's jammer nearby

My bad

[chilly jacinth]

that or irish aps

[ruby sandal]

Aps may have did it. Blasco's jammer does not affect Lis rockets

[tacit sphinx]

the tor also has its own APS as do all tanks

[lament plank]

Wow cool I love that me, in a wildcat, with a hokum supporting STILL CANT KILL A NIGHTBIRD. Jesus fucking Christ when will this dumpster fire be fixed.

[abstract dawn]

👀

[lament plank]

AGMs need to be immediately removed from nightbird

[glad mulch]

Does conquest 64 include portal maps?

[arctic grove]

my copy of 2042 came in today

[chilly jacinth]

yes

[next onyx]

Just bf3 and bad co 2.

[glad mulch]

Ok thanks

[rocky kraken]

anyone know if squad call ins are coming?

[drowsy shuttle]

Probably not

[rocky kraken]

honestl;y

thats shit if it doesnt

[runic creek]

I just beat The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom.

Here’s just a quick reminder for you 2042 fans that there are infinitely better games to play out there

[rocky kraken]

we waited this long for squad managment and it brings nothing new

[drowsy shuttle]

Just like the class system

[rocky kraken]

i feel callins would be good in 2042

missed opportunity

call in weather events :0

[abstract dawn]

Here is a quick reminder that everyone is free to enjoy whatever game they think is the most fun for them, no matter what other people think about it 🙂

[edgy oriole]

buff all vehicles but make it locked behind squad points. and you only get squad points from kills on obj attk/def, obj contestation and supporting players.

hire me

[runic creek]

Wrong. I’m biased and don’t listen to people so what you just said is incorrect. From my point of view

[lament plank]

Remove the fucking nightbird until it’s balanced Jesus Christ. It literally shreds every other helo, and has zero problems countering ground too. What the fuck was Dice thinking?

[edgy oriole]

and give bonus points on obj that the team is not on to balance field of play

[fervent rose]

giving random squad leaders control over all of the vehicle call ins doesnt fit for a game like battlefield

[edgy oriole]

not squad leaders whole squad

[fervent rose]

so you're gonna get in squad bitching immediately with that system lol

[edgy oriole]

yes we would risk squad wasting points but i rather have that than like in bfv where squad lead doesnt use anything

[drowsy shuttle]

M60 is so bad goddayum

[midnight crater]

Slow firing weapons should be kicking ass

Mfw the chinese weapons in bf4 were straight cheeks

[desert mason]

did they recently update how helicopters aim and fly?

[drowsy shuttle]

You guys know what would be cool?

Nerfing the rm68.. i mean i think its time

[abstract dawn]

[lament iron]

Ok troll, now kick rocks

[abstract dawn]

Didn’t we establish that we throw rocks earlier?

[edgy oriole]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGom83_Ipg4

[plain wyvern]

w song

[lament iron]

Ok then, “throw” rocks

[plain wyvern]

i honestly wish bf2042 had proximity chat

with no mute

[hybrid totem]

Why is that?

[lament iron]

Lmao it would be a disaster

[plain wyvern]

would be hilarious tho

[lament iron]

True

[hybrid totem]

Oh. Then no.

[rough flame]

Is there a reason why Dice does 4 men squads and not more ?

[plain wyvern]

nothing would change if there would be more squad members

[hybrid totem]

For those of us with more than three friends, it would.

[plain wyvern]

true

[lament iron]

Just an other dumbass on the other side of the map instead of with its squad

[plain wyvern]

exactly

[lament iron]

I only came across a random decent squad once, it was like finding a leprechaun

[abstract dawn]

I don’t think we have the tech in frostbite for proximity chat at the moment, though that’s just off the top of my head.

[plain wyvern]

if its possible then they should go for it

sales would prob go up

[lament iron]

“Your are trash” I banged your mom and sister” among other things, leave proximity out of BF

[plain wyvern]

i mean

what about battlebit

[lament iron]

Lmao

[edgy oriole]

just from how this community is. prox chat would be just like cods chat

battlebit is just random people screaming all the time while you hit your F keys to mute them all

[abstract dawn]

The Premium Experience

[edgy oriole]

you might get a "thanks for revive" once every couple games

[plain wyvern]

doubt it

[edgy oriole]

battlebit also has a huge macro problem. but i wont stoop to their level

unless

[lament iron]

Miss the peak Battlefield 4 days

[ebon pilot]

why take the time to vocalize "thanks for revive" when i can hold Q and select "thanks"

[abstract dawn]

BF4 was truly a lot of fun, not gonna lie

[edgy oriole]

i actually like the thanks command. i wish i could hotkey it so i didnt have to hold q

[drowsy shuttle]

I only die from the rm68 this is fucking hilarious ahahahah

Holy shit

[lament iron]

Yep, last true Battlefield

[drowsy shuttle]

Feels like scripted

[edgy oriole]

start of season ive been getting full auto dm7 headshot by console players. havent seen rm68 in a bit

[ebon pilot]

i wish it popped up after someone fulfills a request like in apex so you can just get "press H to thank"

[kindred flint]

just dont get shot?

or stay 300+m away from everyone, it wont kill you at that range

[drowsy shuttle]

I wouldnt bet money on that

[kindred flint]

it would still randomly HS kill you

[fresh lintel]

Unless you're in a match with ravic

Which then you're not safe.

Switching servers wont save you

[edgy oriole]

combat rm68 with vcar macro allegedly

[kindred flint]

would you even run combat ever now?

[fresh lintel]

Yuck, i'll give myself corpal before using a stinky macro

[edgy oriole]

allegedly

[fresh lintel]

Allegedly is more "The VCAR can win" on last gen :^)

[edgy oriole]

lemme go order turbo xbone controller real quick

allegedly

[fresh lintel]

Do they even sell Xbone controllers still?

[edgy oriole]

i bet some people do. there prolly people that still design them for decoration purposes

[fresh lintel]

Yeah fair. I know my local microplay has stopped selling official xbone controllers

I'm stuck with shitty third parties. Which their thumb sticks break easily.

Though theyre see through coloured plastic like old Gameboys

[edgy oriole]

there was a custom xsx controller i thought was dope not that long ago. lemme see if i can find it

it was like yellow and pink

cant find the one i thought was cool

but this one dope

now a 2042 design pattern

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah.. red and black lol

T1 pad

[edgy oriole]

found it. it was on xbox design lab i was just not patient enough

[kindred flint]

jfc..18 kills was the highest of this match on flashpoint

773-0

[desert mason]

did they change how helicopters aim? it feels like they moved aiming from the mouse to be half mouse and half keyboard. using the mouse to look vertically and the keyboard for horizontal.

[edgy oriole]

i havent noticed anything different

[desert mason]

I have no idea what's going on. I didn't play for a week, I come back and it feels totally taboo

[turbid compass]

Yeah that happens

[hot hazel]

21 melee kills with dozer in one round on reclaimed

[desert mason]

it shouldn't

[turbid compass]

For me going from playing Jedi survivor back to 2042 it was very hard. Took me a good 5 minutes to realise I didn’t have the force any more

[hot hazel]

u might have assisted flight on

some other dude talk about this

[desert mason]

dont

I've been in and out of coop matches messing with the settings trying to figure out wtf changed

[hot hazel]

reset ur setting

then try

again

[desert mason]

i was looking for the reset, where is it?

[hot hazel]

maybe in controller setting

restore defaults

and depends if ur on m&k or console

[desert mason]

oh wow i cant believe i missed that its down at the bottom lmao

[hot hazel]

yeah just do default if its not ur liking change from there

[drowsy shuttle]

Ok 2 times in a row that i shoot a rocket with lis into a vehicle.. 5 seconds later someone else finish it off and i dont get the assists... what the fuck!! Im trying to t1 lis this is really annoying... bugfield 2042

[hot hazel]

thats why u wait till the do all the work

[edgy oriole]

that why i think lis playstyle is boring

gotta keep enemy vehicles on a timer or sit and wait for the finish

[drowsy shuttle]

I must admit, sometimes i feel really stupid for playing this game.

[drowsy shuttle]

I agree.. but im t1 her.. then only crawford and boris to finish all specialists... but only when they rework/buff them.

[hot hazel]

controlling her thing isnt even that good

cause leaves u vulnerable for a secs

[edgy oriole]

i did everyone except assault. they too boring 4 me

[hot hazel]

normal rocket u shoot and can go to cover

[edgy oriole]

i didnt do crawdad either

but i play crawdad. he my engi main

[hot hazel]

crawford minigun kinda usless something

all engineer passives kinda sleep

[drowsy shuttle]

Too weak. And the hole in the front makes it worse

[edgy oriole]

i like using it to shoot at helos. or if you get a good peak angle you can take some kills

[drowsy shuttle]

Using crawford minigun is just feeling suicidal.

[hot hazel]

yeah hes good for some vehicles but they do need to cover up the hole

[edgy oriole]

crawdads ability is top tier

[slow tulip]

It doesn't work well

[edgy oriole]

literally saves vehicles from dying

[slow tulip]

Lis's launcher is very good

Dozer is too powerful

Dozer's speed needs to be lower when using shield

[kindred flint]

holy shit these fucking idiots who camp at the spawn zone with their useless sniper

[edgy oriole]

me t1ing the bar

[kindred flint]

squadmate goes 14-10 with zero fucking caps the whole game..spends 95% of the arica match on the US spawn hill

[drowsy shuttle]

Had a guy on my game with 7-9 score lvl 300 calling cheaters to others and report them

[edgy oriole]

i had a dude get mad at me in BT saying i was useless but i was 24-0 while taking out boris turrets as well.

[kindred flint]

shit i should have swapped to angel and spawn crate killed him...

[edgy oriole]

all he could say "oh wow look who cares about kd in bf games"

[kindred flint]

this dude literally wouldnt leave the spawn, except one time i saw him because he ran out of ammo

and i certainly wasnt going to throw my ammo box at that cunt...

enemy held the A point from us for like 10 minutes, people just cant get on the cap...enemy squad was just spawning on each other endlessly lol, we almost threw the game

[compact vortex]

Is anyone else crashing a lot on PC since the most recent patch?

[hot hazel]

no, u should verify ur files if it keeps happening

or reinstall game

[compact vortex]

Verified files 3x, ill try reinstalling rn

[drowsy shuttle]

3rd time lis rocket doesnt give me assists... ok then

[tawny carbon]

How is ARs now? Before I update the game.

[drowsy shuttle]

4th time... and counting...

[tawny carbon]

Compared to pre update

[atomic egret]

What is going on with the "rubber banding" lately? I'm on PS5 with a great hardwired connection. ( I'm a isp technician before anyone starts in with "how's your ping-a-ling?")

[mental delta]

I know you're a technician and all but I got to ask you how's your ping-a-ling ?

[atomic egret]

LoL

[mental delta]

What's rubber banding btw ?

[atomic egret]

When I'm running or changing weapons sometimes it skips me back a few frames like I'm being rewinded.. been happening since last update. Was running really smooth prior.

[arctic grove]

More than likely just servers, the game updated a couple nights ago as well

[atomic egret]

Yeah, it's only been a couple days but it's terrible..

I play mostly ConQ 128..

When DayZ community servers run cleaner, I know there's a problem...

[arctic grove]

They usually fix server issues in a decent timespan, id keep an eye on here and Twitter if anyone else is having issues with the game as well

[atomic egret]

Hope so, I'm halfway done with the Battlepass and was having a blast with the Deagle!

[drowsy shuttle]

Sigh this game is so unbalanced

Jesus christ

[kindred flint]

someones been getting RM'd again

[topaz breach]

No I'm feeling this too. I'm not hardwired unfortunately, but I've had quite a handful of instant transmissions if ya know what I mean lol

[topaz breach]

@atomic egret but same, PS5 w/ usually CQ 128 in rotation

[atomic egret]

It's really annoying..

[topaz breach]

Seriously

it's always a major spike too

[arctic grove]

what’s a good beginner class?

[compact vortex]

Game still crashing after a fresh reinstall on PC

[atomic egret]

It's the worst when you're trying to deploy something and it goes back a second before..

[compact vortex]

Is it possible to be booted offline???

[topaz breach]

Depends what style of player you are honestly

I run Falck (medic) personally, but you can always read descriptions and see what best fits you

[topaz field]

@robust vapor I tested the M5A3, good with standard rounds and short barrel at meters pass 50+ 🔥

[atomic egret]

I would say look at the Specialist's ability and use whatever feels right for your play style. Gun load out can stay the same for all classes with the exception of things like shoulder fired missles and such..

[edgy oriole]

use mackay and abuse mobility

best beginner class

[robust vapor]

True statement I used it exactly that setup. Good stuff

[arctic grove]

i’m using sundance to fly around

[robust vapor]

High power + long barrel I turned the M5 into a DM7

[edgy oriole]

ive been preaching m5 since launch

finally people are starting to see

[drowsy shuttle]

Mah man

[fresh lintel]

I started the game with the M5, my first T1. Even without short barrel its fucking great

[drowsy shuttle]

Okay something must be wrong... im not getting any assists with lis rockets...

It happened 5 times so far

I hit a vehicle.. 3 seconds later someone destroys it and nothing...

This is some bullshit

[humble violet]

Can anyone connect to servers?

[kindred flint]

dice"we buffed the mastery for lis...assists count!"
also dice"good luck getting an assist"

[humble violet]

I cant matchmake any gamemodes. I've restarted the game 3 times

[drowsy shuttle]

I dont understand yesterday was working fine

[tawny carbon]

How is the ARs feel now after the bug fix and change?

[topaz field]

Better than before

[tawny carbon]

Thanks

[topaz field]

Still need some tuning on console though but a lot better

PC it's good for me

[tawny carbon]

Obviously tuning yea. Is it enough to out gun an smg? Or smg still outgun ars?

[kindred flint]

Ive been using the g36 ever since unlocking it in the BP...never felt like absolute ass to use

although at times tap firing yielded some maddening results

[arctic grove]

i’ve been using the rm68 because i randomly unlocked it

[tawny carbon]

Rm is still gonna be meta. That’s not gonna change neither M5a3.

[arctic grove]

i didn’t know this game had a meta

[tawny carbon]

Every game have some type of meta lol

[kindred flint]

tfw a .308 AR is more accurate than a 5.56

[tawny carbon]

[drowsy shuttle]

Dont use that weapon. That weapon sucks, worst in the game.

If you want a good reliable weapon you cant get better than the MCS 800

[kindred flint]

10/10

[topaz field]

Oh course they're good enough to beat SMG

It all depends on your skill level

[willow sky]

m5 can turn into an smg, AR, and a DMR all in 1

got the whole pack

[robust vapor]

Likewise for BSVM

I T1ed all 2042 ARs and won't be using them again until I T1ed every weapon

[arctic grove]

i need to see if i even have it

woah they have conquest 128

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah pretty sure lis rockets are not getting assists.. can anyone confirm it?

[tacit sphinx]

i ran into the same issue but i don’t think it’s specifically lis rockets

just vehicle assists are a bit inconsistent

hit an mav with an at grenade and two mines as it ran me over, then it was killed by a friendly tank and no credit

in the same match i hit a tank with one tgm and got the assist

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah definitely something is not right

I mean.. not a single assist tonight

Only kills

[granite island]

My rpg dusted off the heli for the 6th time

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah i shot 7 ot 8 vehicles and they got destroyed like 3 or 4 seconds later and didnt got any assist

Lis rockets

Really annoying when you are t1 her

[karmic egret]

the tor has a major dusting problem too

[arctic grove]

this game is stunning

i’m playing on the ice level right now

[granite island]

That too

Shoots jet with perfect precision and timing, 1000m away only for it to be dusted off and do no damage

I bet the mf didn't even notice he got hit

[drowsy shuttle]

Give it time... the frustration will come

[arctic grove]

i don’t care if i lose i got a wingsuit

[warm stirrup]

Is the game down?

Can't log in

[drowsy shuttle]

Was it ever up?

[warm stirrup]

Oh my bad, wasn't aware

[drowsy shuttle]

Na its up

[lament iron]

New to Battlefiled?

[drowsy shuttle]

Im playing it now

[arctic grove]

pretty much, i could never get into the other ones

the graphics are so beautiful though

[drowsy shuttle]

Bfv graphics were better

[lament iron]

Nice, yeah Battlfield 4 is good as well. I never cared for 1 and 5

[arctic grove]

i kinda liked bf4 but it was so open and i didn’t understand it

[wild marlin]

why no double xp weekend

[slow tulip]

Can EA partner with Embark studios to make battlefield cause the current DICE team can't make a good battlefield game

[drowsy shuttle]

100% sure lis rockets are not getting assists. Hope someone pass the info to Dice asap

[ebon pilot]

please no server-side movement

[acoustic seal]

serverside movement is the least of the problems in the finals lol

and it would btfo xbox time warpers so i'm all for it

[kindred flint]

Oh what happened with that game?

[lament iron]

This Game needs skill based matchmaking without a doubt.

[wild marlin]

remove crawford turret hole

[lament iron]

Iam 47 silver and everywhere I turn I see Red like fuuuuuuck

[wild marlin]

have you considered getting a squad

[kindred flint]

being s tier doesnt mean youre good

you can have played since launch as a casual shitter and still hit that tier

[fervent rose]

the game has been out for nearly 2 years and yes, play time does not mean they are any good

[kindred flint]

with all the double XP events its not hard

[fervent rose]

theres people with thousands of hours playing bf who are still 1kd

[lament iron]

true, but it means you have most if not all weapons unlocked and know the maps well

[robust vapor]

Yeah ask DICE to introduce a ranked game mode solo and squad

[fervent rose]

you join a game mid cycle, you play against people who already know the game

[robust vapor]

Let me see your placement

[fervent rose]

but it doesnt matter because theres no stakes to bf

[drowsy shuttle]

Doesnt really matter... vanilla weapons are really good... m5 for example

[fervent rose]

yup. starter AR is a top 3 gun

[drowsy shuttle]

And attachements dont really mean much..

[robust vapor]

Any weapon is good if you master them

snipes you with Slugged MCS

[ebon pilot]

unless it's the MCS-880

[drowsy shuttle]

I have MCS 800 t1'd because im a mad lad

[robust vapor]

Same

[lament iron]

eventually

[robust vapor]

Now I don't have to play utility weapons anymore

Hurr durr no more shotguns

[ebon pilot]

I have only the MCS and the Mk4 to T1 in utility weapons

[robust vapor]

Go T1 the crossbow cause funny weapon

[ebon pilot]

but i hate it :[

[wild marlin]

i wish i wish upon a fish

[ebon pilot]

same with the vcar idk how anyone can use it

[fervent rose]

crossbow is dope

[wild marlin]

that these blueberries would have better decision making

i have a theory

that like

the more humans there are on this earth

[robust vapor]

I T1ed the VCAR too

[wild marlin]

the dumber we get

[robust vapor]

[drowsy shuttle]

I just finished t1 the M60

[wild marlin]

cuz there is a limited amount of intelligence to be shared by everyone

[drowsy shuttle]

Why? Because im stupid i guess

[fervent rose]

this is dumb

[ebon pilot]

a limited amount that needs to be shared

[wild marlin]

proved my point

[fervent rose]

not really tho

[wild marlin]

you did but are too stupid to realize 😂

hence how i know my theory is sound

[fervent rose]

yeah, no

[wild marlin]

bro has not read the bible 😂

bro needs god

god already proved my theory

ancient humans use to live for hundreds of years

abraham lived to be 1000

[topaz breach]

This ^

[royal swan]

Wait this ain't about bf

What kind of weird bullshit nonsense are y'all talking about

[lament iron]

Huh?

[acoustic seal]

it's still around and there's another beta going on right now, but it has that bf5 stink all over it with the weird class health and TTK disparity

and the optimal way to play is to fight people as little as possible lol

[kindred flint]

but....it was made by ex dice devs who really cared

and jacks made a video praising it!

[acoustic seal]

they know their target audience, it's PTFO redditors who play shooters to not shoot people

[wild marlin]

bring back vehicle superiority

[strong rampart]

Is there an issue with the servers atm? I keep coming across an error saying unable to load persistent data

[glass vortex]

uh oh

[next onyx]

Don't think the general ttk is a problem as long as the game was built around it.

Bad co 2 regularly had guns that were 6 to 5 shot kills.

5hk was rare. Like with the ak47.

Maybe the RPK47

?

[zinc glade]

When did they switch the spawn spoints on orbital? US used to spawn closer to the rocket but now Russia does.

[ebon pilot]

Ages ago?

oh wait are you saying the sides switched? those didn't change

unless it's different in C64

[zinc glade]

Yeah I'm on PS4

pretty sure it was how I described at one point

[warm stirrup]

It wasn't

I play on the 64 versions but with 128 players

Russia always spawned near the rocket

Played since the beta

[zinc glade]

I could have swore the US did at least during the beta.

[warm stirrup]

I've played since the beta

It hasn't

S084 now

[calm bison]

The US spawns on the rocket side and RU spawns near the assembly building

I don’t think they swapped spawns even during the beta

[ebon pilot]

US spawns on the rocket side in 128C

[zinc glade]

The US is on the assembly side now in 64 player conquest.

[warm stirrup]

Mandela effect

When people remember something happening one way when it actually happened another way

[kindred flint]

bf4 launch was actually amazing, 360 users loved the first 6 months of the game

[warm stirrup]

Reason being it got it's name is many people remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison, even though it was never the case

[lilac linden]

Just listened to a podcast about it a couple days ago.

[warm stirrup]

Many other cases of the Mandela effect throughout history

[molten pivot]

It honestly didn’t look too bad

Do you guys wonder if WW3 will ever come to console

[warm stirrup]

Not sure

[lilac linden]

Hope so. Been playing it for a bit now. Pretty good game.

[zinc glade]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/tckce4/us_spawn_on_ru_side_at_start_of_game/ looks like I'm right.

[molten pivot]

I think they might be cautious given Insergency’s massive flop though

[white geyser]

Idk and did they fix the game and add any new content for WW3?

[molten pivot]

No idea, I don’t have a PC

[warm stirrup]

Comments say it's a bug

[kindred flint]

lmao this fucking dozer shield kill range is bullshit

[warm stirrup]

Dozer is broken rn

[kindred flint]

the range doesnt make sense

[warm stirrup]

Can confirm this is pre season 1 when game was still buggy mess

[lilac linden]

Hope so

[lilac linden]

Yeah season one spawns on that map. Jet ram spawn and have 10 kills only 5 seconds in

[warm stirrup]

battlebit remastered had a high surge in players tho for a game developed by 3 people

[zinc glade]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/rj9e7r/how_hard_is_it_to_select_a_spawn_point_with_a/ this has Russia on the left side of the map and the US spawning close to the rocket.

[lilac linden]

Gonna download that game tomorrow

[warm stirrup]

Idk then

@zinc glade

[warm stirrup]

256 players and proximity chat

128v128

[lilac linden]

Yeah I know

[zinc glade]

MAG attempted to do that on the PS3.

[warm stirrup]

3 people made a better game than a whole studio

[kindred flint]

48 kills left to t1 g36 then i can use another ar

[warm stirrup]

Sadly when PlayStation got hacked it went offline

[kindred flint]

lmao stupid fucking ea app...i close the game, started typing here, hit enter...and the app pops back up to the foreground and the enter key prompted 2042 to launch again...

[warm stirrup]

Mag never returned to it's glory days after the hack

Massive
Action
Game

Mag

[zinc glade]

I think the PSN outage also hurt Socom 4, not that it was a good game but not having the online portion available certainly didn't help.

[warm stirrup]

Yee

Anonymous i think

[zinc glade]

That's a franchise that Sony should consider reviving-Socom US Navy Seals

[warm stirrup]

It wouldn't do well

Not with cod and battlefield in the lead

Plus xdefiant coming up?

[zinc glade]

All first person shooters

[warm stirrup]

Too much variety isn't good

[zinc glade]

and Battlefield's track record hasn't exactly been stellar as of late.

[warm stirrup]

Game's cost millions to make

Net worth vs profit it isn't sustainable in this market

Or else studios would be making lots of side project games

[weak spindle]

Is it true that currently none of the bolt actions besides the 50cal can 1shot body annymore, even sub 10 meters?

[warm stirrup]

Best sniper is railgun

[kindred flint]

afaik yes that was removed from the other bolt actions

[weak spindle]

Mm okay thx good to know

Curious whats the general opinion of people on the M5A3? IMO its the most sexy lookin assault rifle but seems like I just do better with some others

[arctic grove]

does the battle pass have a time limit?

[fresh lintel]

Dozer is the pinnacle reason on why we should get rid of Toe hitboxes

Also why the fuck can you do takedowns on him

Mans in a bloody EOD suit and some 60 year old grandma is able to put a knife at his neck? Come on now. Lmao

[ebon pilot]

the season

[arctic grove]

its like 2 or 3 months iirc

[next onyx]

Cunt I just handled a letter to a doctor Boris.

Bloody Boris ptsd.

[placid echo]

ACW-R is good, I guess :v

[arctic grove]

thanks

conquest 64 or 128?

which is better?

[dark mural]

Hourglass rework, when? 🥲

[karmic egret]

probably the middle to end of next month

Kaliedoscope needs another rework

[kindred flint]

helps when you have a pocket medic

[fresh lintel]

Please god let me out of last gen

[arctic grove]

why does no one revive?

[next onyx]

Dumbass blueberries.

[gleaming oriole]

Bruh why do all the transportation vehicles still have all of their explosive weapons? Weren't they supposed to be removed start of this season?

[fresh lintel]

My reason: Squaddies dont ping, i dont revive.

Usually they die in shit spots that will get me killed as well. Because by the time I do revive them we both die because someones hiding or someone just came up and is now shooting us.

Plus yknow: You're stuck in animation when you revive so if you do start: You're going to die.

Because guess who cant just cancel it and move.

[arctic grove]

huh i never thought of it like that

i’m very new to the game i got it today lol

[fresh lintel]

If theyre down in cover and no enemy is around i'll revive though. Otherwise i'm literally leaving ya.

[arctic grove]

but i played the trial on my old xbox

[fresh lintel]

There are players who just dont revive at all.

Like when i'm playing Falk i'll revive any person I see since she revives the fastest

[next onyx]

Ah yeah. Don't expect a revive all the time.

If you die behind cover you could hold out.

Depending on the situation.

I have a habit of skipping.

[kindred flint]

most medics are stupid af

11m away with their back to me...i wait 20 seconds to watch them never turn around and then run away

[next onyx]

I once had a medic on my body and they were reviving everyone but me.

[arctic grove]

maybe i shouldn’t play the 128 player mode

[next onyx]

The game is better made around it but it places massive stress on the hardware.

[arctic grove]

the game seems pretty smooth still when i play it

[broken horizon]

medics carry nades instead of smokes in 2042

Anybody else having issues updating the game? When I click update it does its thing for about 30 seconds then says its done. But it still won't let me launch the game, it just keeps on saying "update"

I already repaired the files and uninstalled the game. On PC btw

[worthy inlet]

I've got a video of a medic running up on top of my body, staring at it for most of the bleed out timer, throwing a smoke at the last 10% then getting killed instantly

[frosty crane]

Go App Recovery - Clear Cache

[frosty crane]

I had same issue yesterday …

[fresh lintel]

Why the fuck can you take down from the side

[topaz kernel]

App Recovery crashed lmaoooo

EA is hot garbage

[frosty crane]

Oh no LOL truly a FML moment

[topaz kernel]

I'd send you a screenshot but I can't post pictures here

[next onyx]

It's always been like that but in this game... just makes no sense.

[fresh lintel]

Like because I literally cannot hear footsteps, someone was at my side. My back against the wall.

Just got a kill when i'm in the flank and boom

Paik

[next onyx]

No footsteps yep.

Gotta love it.

[fresh lintel]

I wanted to say MW2 had audible footstep noises then I remembered I literally stopped sprinting because no one could hear me walk lmao

[warm stirrup]

Are the servers back up?

[fresh lintel]

But still, my headphones are good so theres no reason for the lack of footstep audio 😭

[topaz kernel]

@frosty crane I found a work around of how to do it and got it working, thanks for your help!!

[next onyx]

Reminds me back at bf5 when they increased the footstep audio. Enemies would be 30 metres away and they'd sound like they were in the next room.

Actual gave me panic attacks.

[frosty crane]

Great! What was your workaround in case someone runs into a similar problem ?

[topaz kernel]

Run EA app with admin permissions -> click hamburger menu on top left -> click help -> app recovery

It's mindblowing to me that a multi biullion dollar company has such a terrible launcher

[kindred flint]

origin was much better than ea app

[warm stirrup]

Is 2042 still down?

[topaz kernel]

Working for me'

[topaz kernel]

Every launcher is absolute dog shit. Except maybe Steam

Seems many people are having same issue

Series x/s

[karmic egret]

Thanks DICE very nice

[warm stirrup]

Did dice mess with the xbox settings?

[worldly raven]

so how is the game rn? worth getting again?

[karmic egret]

thats probably xbox live shitting the bed

[fresh lintel]

I'd rather that over what we have atm lmao

Hell in Planetside I used to be able to hear Silencers from 100m out. Used to be able to pinpoint EXACTLY where someone was with footsteps

I wanna hear 😭

[warm stirrup]

Only effects 2042, every other game works fine

Did you read the post?

[fresh lintel]

Shit like that happens to me more often than not ;-;

[karmic egret]

Yes i did he said he's having problems with chivalry 2

[warm stirrup]

Only 2042 and chivalry 2

Chivalry 2 has outages daily

Torn banner is worse than dice silly

Not a remarkable liability

Took them 3 years to add crossplay

The bot mode also has no level cap lol

Level 1000's slaughtering noobs and bots for free xp

[fresh lintel]

So normal FPS experience

[warm stirrup]

Their cosmetic system is right tho

Gain silver after battles or buy gold with real money

Customize your knight however you want

Basically keep playing and you can buy all cosmetics

Not all are worth buying of course

Some ugly ones

[quiet shell]

Honestly the reception for this game is so inconsistent that you might as well grab the game on sale or on game pass and try it yourself

[warm stirrup]

Most active battlefield right now

Due to crossplay

[fresh lintel]

Lowkey wish games would stop making Bullet drop on par with Muskets.

I shouldnt need to treat my AR like a god damn artillery piece just to hit someone lmao

Let alone my pistol within 50m

[fiery dome]

somehow NTW-50's bullet velocity feels even slower than sub-sonic rounds

[karmic egret]

thats by design

[acoustic island]

Does anyone have any idea how this game runs on steam deck, or what it might be comparable to?

At native res low and/or dynamic res?

I am only finding videos before season 3’s optimization patch

[edgy oriole]

it prolly runs the same it did in those videos

[robust vapor]

LUL

[willow sky]

you know i lowkey want hazard zone to be worked around again

[warm stirrup]

Time spent on hazard zone = less time spent on multiplayer development

I'd rather they not

[solar tinsel]

The only thing I'd really support for HZ is if they made a way to do it co-op only, 4 players and all AI. This way it can continue to be played even when players go down. But in general I agree, makes sense to not develop more on it

[copper fulcrum]

Then they should make the AI harder if that were the case

[solar tinsel]

Definitely

[copper fulcrum]

well for that version of it of course

[solar tinsel]

It's so close to being able to be essentially a co-op mode, which is something that I feel like some folks would like

BF3's co-op mode was pretty popular, albeit it limited

[warm stirrup]

Battlefront 2 co op was best

4 players + ai vs ai

Why didn't dice copy the battlefront 2 co op?

Was basically breakthrough too

Capture one command post instead of two tho

Final sector was always the hardest

Ai basically knew how to play breakthrough and conquest in battlefront 2 and way better than 2042 ai

Such a shame 2042 got watered down versions of them

[reef cedar]

yo how do you beat the bunker part of reclaimed?

[robust vapor]

Spam explosives

[patent prism]

Enough bodies.

[reef cedar]

mmm

[robust vapor]

Nade launchers RPG

[lament iron]

It’s on Gamepass

[reef cedar]

oh nvm went on defenders and it fell within 30 seconds, not even joking
is crossplay on by default?

like I'm on xbox, am I matching with PC players?

[dapper river]

yeah the key is to be on the other team, who always has a perfect attack + defense strategy for the bunker, and your team never does

[reef cedar]

LITERALLY!

[robust vapor]

Yeah by default crossplay is on for the purpose of getting into matches faster

[reef cedar]

eh I think I'm just hog ass at MP pvp games

[robust vapor]

Play against bots so you can tune your controller and your playstyle

[jovial jay]

you just haven't found the right thing for you

I found the forbidden shotgun combination and now I can confidently go pvp

until they nerf that to heck

[thick robin]

What is it

[lament iron]

It’s forbidden

[ripe hedge]

Are you having fun?

[robust vapor]

12m + underbarrel shotgun + super500

envoy of chaos i see

[jovial jay]

yes of course
