battlefield-2042

[stark plaza]

Stop bullshitting around

[still vault]

No. You pay for the game through the subscription. Calling it "free" is marketing crap.

You don't even get to keep it.

[stark plaza]

Okay man, 8 euros vs 100

[still vault]

That is how subscriptions work yes.

They could also just remove the game from the subscription service again. They have all the power.

[idle lion]

bro fell for the marketing

💀

[chilly jacinth]

i dont think most people understand that

[elfin coral]

@radiant prism what kind of crops are they growing in the Synseco facility on Renewal

[arctic grove]

Yo anyone on Xbox1

or a Xbox1

[trail blaze]

He's like 3 months late, it was free back in March

[warped bramble]

My favorite gun in the new update is the one that turned out to be news and I will rest up on the internet so I don't have to work be but at it moment I'm going to out honest and not just be yourself another you I my friend you can do be for the you is not the same as the other states

[cunning nacelle]

I keep getting 3 orange rectangles top left of my screen

[drowsy shuttle]

Subscriptions are good tho for certain opportunities... i once subscribed the EA Play through steam to play the previews Need For Speed for the magic number of.... 92 cents.

[cunning nacelle]

it keeps lagging my game, it skips my bullets and enemies lag

what can i do

[drowsy shuttle]

I was only interested in the campaign/story

The ea play was on sale on steam

Subscribed for 92 cents to play a game that vost 60 or 70 euros

Beat the game in 3 weeks

Cancel subscriptipn

Thanks, Electronic Arts.

[proven obsidian]

I do it mostly for Ubisoft games

[solid imp]

Subscriptions are fine. They have a place and can be a great deal. But they are not free.

[sweet atlas]

Yea.. Far from "free". I've been subbed for 3 years now, I've paid for the games I play regularly and then some lol

[drowsy shuttle]

Ofc not, but for certain opportunities/situations are pretty cool.. especially cause you have the choice to cancel any time

But playing a game that cost 60 or 70 euros for 92 cents was "basically" free lol

I was only interested in the campaign/story so was a great deal

[next onyx]

Subs give you tonnes of value. While they technically are not free. The value of it increases with what they add.

You're paying such little money for all these games.

[pine roost]

Do games eventually leave those services?

[honest wave]

Are the servers down or something? I cannot connect.

[next onyx]

0.05 cents per game. 10 dollars to play them all.

[drowsy shuttle]

I believe so.. its just like the movies/tv shows streaming services.. they remove stuff eventually

[sweet atlas]

Yea but you only get that value IF you play those games heh but yea, I think my sub is worth it. That's why I'm subbed to the xbox game pass, EA pro play, Ubisoft+ and Humble Bundle xD

[pine roost]

So there is the potential for you to lose the game

So it’s more of a trial than anything

[solid imp]

Depends on how you measure the return value. By hours played? By amortizing the individual game value over x amount of months paid into the subscription?

[supple ravine]

i miss xtra vision 😦

[solid imp]

For me a sub would be pointless because I put loads of hours into one or two games at a time and my others get dusty in the meantime. Buying the game costs me <$.01 per hour by the time I'm done anyway.

[next onyx]

That's a bit of a trap though.

Ironically.

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah you dont own any game.. and if you want to play a game regularly you have to keep paying... but in my case i was only interested in campaign/story and playing the game once.. i beat it in 3 weeks and then cancelled subscription

[sweet atlas]

I value it by supporting a developer of games I enjoy playing 🙂 Getting access to the games is a bonus.

[next onyx]

You can quickly overpay on subs.

Only game from game pass I bought was hollow knight but that was me supporting a local business.

[solid imp]

Interesting... I would have imagined buying the game outright supports the dev more. I may have a wrong idea of subscription frameworks though where the dev interaction is concerned?

[sweet atlas]

Not necessarally, like I said earlier. I've been subbed long enough to pay for the couple of games I play and then some, so the dev is getting more support from me from a sub than if I bought the games outright.

[pine roost]

If it costs £10 to buy the sub, I can’t see how that supports developers when the games could be £15-£40 each

[drowsy shuttle]

If its a multiplayer game like battlefield i totally agree.. you will pay more eventually throught the subscription than paying only for the game once...

[solid imp]

So is the model then this?

• Dev has game on EA Play
• EA Play pays out to the dev some amount of money for x number of people who have their game installed

I really wonder what type of share that dev actually sees

it's not like your subscription money goes entirely to the dev of the game you happen to be playing the most

[next onyx]

I should get off game pass ultimate cause I don't really use it.

[sweet atlas]

Well I would think they pay the devs enough to make it worth it for them heh

[lilac linden]

Look at it in the way of GamePass as well. For example. Gears of war, halo, forza. Those games most likely would cost $70 to play. You can pay 15 a month to play those games for practically free day one release. How much money do just those games alone lose out on day one?

[chilly jacinth]

apparently not much

[lilac linden]

And now. With MLB the show. The only platform you can just download and play that game immediately is on game pass.

[chilly jacinth]

since MS has kept putting their first party games day 1 on there

[lilac linden]

They make less of a profit but not enough to change anything. The game pass is going up to about 17 a month now I think. So it’s doing good and honestly probably the only thing keeping them alive right now.

[solid imp]

It's the Amazon trap- tech company builds an ecosystem which they govern in its entirety. It has a huge reach and so is tempting and ultimately necessary to be on as a "seller" (dev) because that's where the money is being spent. But it's ultra competitive and almost never really fair to the individual sellers

I don't think subs are quite at the point because there are still so many, so it's not like there's one master subscription which rules them all like Amazon does. But within the sphere of each they get to set whatever they want for payout to devs and it's not likely we'll have a lot of insight into it.

[lilac linden]

Yeah I agree. It’s a weird system but it sells.

How do i fix the orange square in the top left? Whenever it pops up my game lags

[next onyx]

You can easily become enthralled in it too.

There are so many TV sub services that torrenting is even bigger.

[solid imp]

I think that's the network latency/packet loss indicator.. not sure there's a lot you can do about it unless you can do some home network troubleshooting or you're playing in a Portal server and can find another one with lower ping. Could be a region thing if matchmaking dumped you somewhere else.

where my gun devs at

[fierce solar]

Anyone else’s game is running like shit today?

[cunning nacelle]

Yeah

[limber orbit]

ye it does more damage to vehicles than the M5

the reason you only have 2 shots to start with

[frosty mural]

ty babygirl

[next onyx]

Wot.

[mighty holly]

[royal trail]

angra, convince dice to add directstorage 1.2 to bf2042 so everyone get faster loading times

it works on hdds aswell

[mighty holly]

https://tenor.com/view/suit-tie-dress-up-formal-professional-gif-5980093

Bet within 7 business days

Gonna come up with a great business plan

[patent path]

you pay me to not play 2042

pay me 5$ a month and I come to your house to unsintall 2042 from your computer

[queen crypt]

Is there anyway to show cheaters in this discord?

[mighty holly]

That would be consider as witch hunting

[lilac linden]

Angra and I got you

[limber orbit]

just shot an apache with the RPG and it did nothing.....

urgh

[spare quest]

the amount of dusting in 2042 is crazy

[lilac linden]

2042 do be dusty 👌

[granite island]

I was just chilling on a objective on breakaway with 5 other people

And out of nowhere a condor Flys in guns blazing explosions everywhere

A new player got the condor and died

He did not know how to switch modes

[chilly jacinth]

happens often

[low timber]

World of Tanks?

[thick tusk]

Can I unlock the portal guns using the solo mode?

[chilly jacinth]

i think so

[quaint vector]

Yes you can

[paper ibex]

Black screen after match problem still not fixed ? -_-

[thick tusk]

Also what is the difference between the rpg and the recoiless? Which is better vs tanks

[chilly jacinth]

Rpg does more damage

[calm grove]

Is it just me or can I not log in??

[quaint vector]

Recoiless was in 2042 since launch, RPG was added recently with Season 5 and IMO its better

[paper ibex]

Any idea how to fix the black screen? I've updated drivers, cleared cache, checked integrity files, etc

[quaint vector]

Didn't happened to me for a long, long time..

[frosty mural]

c4

[chilly jacinth]

you cant fix it

gotta restart the game

[paper ibex]

Well, how do I exit without losing my "saved" files?

[chilly jacinth]

just alt+4

[paper ibex]

That's exactly how to lose saved files xd

[chilly jacinth]

you dont lose anything

[hybrid totem]

...saved files?

[paper ibex]

It gotta make me wait 5 minutes to re-open anyway

[lime turtle]

Can anyone help with hazard mode ?

Need clean exit for my plat

[quaint vector]

#hazard-zone

[limber orbit]

dude the RPG is broky 70% of the time is does no damage to air vehicles for me

[chilly jacinth]

same

[arctic grove]

DICE has perfect timing releasing Boris "Insurrection" skin.

It Confirms Boris was once part of Wagner

[limber orbit]

😬

[arctic grove]

Al Queda Angel tho

[quaint vector]

Don't start with that please..

[arctic grove]

Ok

[limber orbit]

angel skin does look a little goofy

[calm bison]

Dude ever since I got the F-35 T1’d I’m a straight menace with it. I feel so much better with it than before

[quaint vector]

Would love this skin as Easter Egg reward instead of that one we got previously...

[frosty mural]

it's the skin that makes you feel that way

[calm bison]

I’m not using the T1 skin

I use that weird Tiger predator skin for it

[limber orbit]

yea easter egg skin for angel was a bit tame but hey at least we got something i guess lol

[tacit sorrel]

Crazy how badly they butchered breakaway with the rework

[bleak bear]

Didnt care for the XCE Bar or whatever its called. I kind of like this sniper rifle now.

Did you get this from Sniper Elite V2 with the Enfield?

I noticed the reload animation speed and audio.

You need the crosshair that goes with this rifle. Thats why I used Enfield over the other rifles cus of crosshair. No one used it like that in SEV2.

Has the weakest muzzlevelocity in game but its accurate if you know how to use it.

[calm bison]

That’s a hot take

[tacit sorrel]

It plays like ass

[calm bison]

Which gamemode

[tacit sorrel]

Any

[bleak bear]

Need DLC crosshair pack that goes with it. Dont listen to the noobs.

[tacit sorrel]

Pretty sure ppl also preferred the old in breakthrough as well

[warped coral]

battlebit better than battlefield 2042

[calm bison]

I don’t agree. Breakaway on conquest nowadays is actually fun. It’s more fun than the marathon that was old Breakaway

[bleak bear]

The Enfield in SEV2 is good if someone showed them how to use it. lol

[calm bison]

Oh nice 👍🏻

[bleak bear]

No one knew

[tacit sorrel]

There’s not enough spacing gimme flags are constantly getting capped

[bleak bear]

Muzzlevelocity is shorter range in game. I think thats how SEV2 set it up.

XCE Bar is the same.

as Enfield in SEV2.

[calm bison]

This is the first time I think I’ve heard someone say the objectives are too close to each other

[bleak bear]

I like the Enfield cus of those easy headshots across map in SEV2. But it was cus of the crosshair.

No one used the Enfield crosshair in SEV2 like that except me.

[tacit sorrel]

This is 64 btw it plays like ass

[calm bison]

Well I just play 128 conquest

So

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bleak bear]

Enfield was an awesome marksman rifle. If I miss the headshot I loved the 2 hit combos or 3 hit combos while they were running.

[tacit sorrel]

Well 64 is a complete different story lol

[bleak bear]

Cus of quick reload loading next round in.

[tacit sorrel]

Gimme flags are contested 24/7

[bleak bear]

Need to make my crosshair that goes with XCE Bar.

yeah I dont like the hold off that far either but I noticed the reload

reminded me of Enfield from Sniper Elite V2.

its not going to work if you keep changing server settings

changing hold off

lol

depends on mood Im in I will go all out with XCE Bar

its same as Enfield to me from Sniper Elite V2. The hold off was that high for range and windage

[heavy lava]

Hazard Zone is dead dead

[slow tulip]

Cause DICE killed it

[chilly jacinth]

it was stillborn

[stiff pollen]

Unless you’re Ashe

Then you can get your whole lobby of stalkers to help you start a lobby

[wide shore]

I played Hazard Zone once. Died relatively quickly. And never played it ever again

Firestorm was much better

[bleak bear]

I actually like using XCE Bar. Messing around with 12x.

I hate shooting like this cus I get use to it.

And I miss aiming center mass at targets.

Hold off is that out there shooting

easiest targets while still and I miss all the time. its cus Im use to shooting with windage and range with hold off

[lilac dust]

Close quarter mag or High power mag for Deagle? What ya'll running?

[chilly jacinth]

cq mag

[bleak bear]

Need a 12x scope crosshair with lines not dots.

Take out the center lines or make it thinner but use lines. 12x goes with XCE Bar.

No numbers

I can do without the zeroing like in other FPS games. Zero to range you shoot.

Sniper class needs a new feature. You can mark enemies but you can leave more than one marker now. Not on enemies but on ground.

Usually go off points on map.

funner to guess range and hold off especially with the XCE Bar

than zero to like 500 meters if you could do that in game

I would just go off 100 meters (in game) then shoot from that

[slow tulip]

Firestorm is dead aswell

Hope portal doesn't die

[wide shore]

I know. But as a mode it was better

[glacial quarry]

lol why does angel get a terrorist skin

[bleak bear]

yup XCE has my hold off lol

pretty cool

has the Enfield feel from Sniper Elite V2.

[chilly jacinth]

you can do that already

[lunar finch]

[arctic grove]

I need a medic in my squad

[lunar finch]

oh haii :3

[limber orbit]

no medic for you

[arctic grove]

Femboy medics are welcome here

[limber orbit]

no heals for you

only respawns

[lunar finch]

😦

when are we gonna get a catboy skin

its been a year dice

[kindred flint]

Tried not having these skill issues?
youve played one more match of HZ than me though

[mighty holly]

Hear me out
Anime skins first then that

[lunar finch]

fair

i can agree with that

[ebon pilot]

we already have anime gun skin

[kindred flint]

Catboy sounds dangerously close to the furry skin in mw... pls no

[limber orbit]

no anime skins please keep that in WoWs

[quaint vector]

Let's leave that crazy shit stuff for CoD...

[lunar finch]

no catboy skin now.

[mighty holly]

We need more and anime characters skins

[mighty holly]

Hear me out lad

[quaint vector]

No

No... No

[mighty holly]

Le gasp. Y

[quaint vector]

[mighty holly]

I was gonna say a penguin skin

But like that’s fair no lad would really want to see a penguin in the battlefields

would be pretty badass seeing a penguin with a gun dominating everyone

[lunar finch]

i don't see the issue with a cute catboy in military gear

its 2042 right

catboys should be real by now right

[quaint vector]

I'm glad that DICE didn't made "Barbie & Ken" crazy skins for Specialists.. This doesn't belong to military Fps.

Only Santa Boris is allowed.

[lunar finch]

make zain a catboy

[limber orbit]

[mighty holly]

[limber orbit]

sweet zombie jesus

[mighty holly]

Not my boy zain

[lunar finch]

yes zain

catboy zain

[calm bison]

I gotta be honest

The more I play manifest

The less I like it

[quaint vector]

Then play it less and like it more...

[lunar finch]

what are the downsides here?

we get a cute zain cosmetic

and zain is still zain

theres 0 negatives here

[lament iron]

fire these new devs and bring back the old Devs for fuck sake

[limber orbit]

dont ruin cyborg man

[quaint vector]

Sorry, we can't take this as a Feedback.

[limber orbit]

but that feedback is so constructive

[lament iron]

KEKW

[quaint vector]

[calm bison]

Not like I have much of a choice

[frank tartan]

will we be able to use our bf4 emblems in 2042 ever?

[quaint vector]

Nope

[arctic grove]

Literally me

[quaint vector]

[lament iron]

for cross play , can you jsut make it Series X / PS 5 ? leave pc out of it

[arctic grove]

You like my new pfp?

[arctic grove]

Sadly no

[lament iron]

LMAO so what can they do ?

every answewr is a no

[quaint vector]

Aaaahaaaa.

[quaint vector]

Devs recieving this comment a lot, but nothing that they can say about it

[lament iron]

ah gotcha

[calm bison]

I don’t understand this complaint

Given the scale of 2042

The Console vs PC gap isn’t that wide

This isn’t something like Sea of Thieves or R6S where having a MnK makes you much better

This is battlefield

The bombs dropped from a stealth chopper don’t discriminate against controller or keyboard

[patent path]

When you suck so you have to find a reason to make you feel like you don't suck

[lunar finch]

real

people complaining about keyboard or controller like blah blah blah blah go play aim lab or something. it's all a skill issue

[quaint vector]

Welp, I'm PlayStation player playing on Controller and yet I still see PC players complain about Console players...

I played on PC for like 20 Hours after 10+ Years of playing on Console and did the same on MnK like on Controller...

[chilly jacinth]

It do be a simple skill issue

Blame it on the people crushing you in lobbies

[chrome solar]

has anyone else encountered on the junkyard map with the sunken ships A1 to B1 one of the walls when broken infinitely replays the breaking animation?

[chilly jacinth]

But you'll still get crushed with full console lobbies

[lament iron]

the irony of all the PC players stating "skill issue" LMAO

[calm bison]

Buddy I play on Xbox with a controller and you have a skill issue

[patent path]

it literally is, skill issue

[quaint vector]

As a Console player... Its a skill issue..

[lunar finch]

i play on controller. its still a skill issue. Keyboard this, pc that, aim assist this, its all a skill issue.

[quaint vector]

I can play on PC easily even when I don't play on PC

[patent path]

yeah the aim assist on console for 2042 is not that good right

[lunar finch]

its mediocre at best

[patent path]

unlike in mw2 where it literally locks onto players behind cover for you

[quaint vector]

I also connected Controller to PC...

[patent path]

I have a steam controller but I'm not good with it

only use it to play fighting games

[naive quiver]

Controller is anti human design

[lunar finch]

why a steam controller

[calm bison]

Maybe the Gamecube controller

[quaint vector]

IMO Dualsense Controller is the best right now

[calm bison]

I grew up using Xbox controllers so those feel best to me

[lunar finch]

eh i dont like the sticks on ps controllers

dont feel good on bigger hands

[naive quiver]

Such a great idea with aim assist

[lunar finch]

xbox controller is like peak "if it aint broke dont fix it"

put some paddles on the back and its just perfect

[calm bison]

Honestly despite adding a screenshot button on the controller I forget that it’s there most of the time

[patent path]

steam controller best controller

when it dies I'm gonna give it a firing salute

[lunar finch]

the one with the track pad?

[patent path]

ye

[lunar finch]

i use it 24/7😭

i just figured out u can map buttons to diff things on xbox so i can finally jump with lb on games that dont support it like bf4

[calm bison]

TBH I just do it the old way where I open the dashboard and press Y

[lunar finch]

anyone who doesn't have paddles i highly recommend switching to toggle aim and jumping with lb

[calm bison]

Eh

[lunar finch]

im always clipping mid game so its too slow for me

[calm bison]

I never really understood bumper jumping

[lunar finch]

for bunny hopping so u jump mid gunfight

and aim

[glacial quarry]

i always laugh when i see pc players complain about console aim assist

[calm bison]

The a button works just fine for me

[glacial quarry]

skill issue if ur getting farmed by a controller while u use MNK

[lunar finch]

i just dont like that u have to take ur finger off the right stick

[lament iron]

is season 6 the last season? or they will there be more seasons ?

[calm bison]

Eh. My first “real” game was Lego Indiana Jones and it worked fine for me and it kinda stuck

[lunar finch]

gun fights are just so much more free when u can bhop and shoot

[calm bison]

Yeah well that’s like

Your opinion, man

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah it's nice to have movement in a game unlike other ones atm 🍾

[lunar finch]

we need more shooters with 2042 movement. they nailed it

i wouldnt mind if they kept beta sliding though

[mighty holly]

Hear me out
Triple jump like the Mario guy

[lilac dust]

We won't know until near season 6 probably

[lunar finch]

give 2042 12 seasons

[lilac dust]

Give us 42 seasons

[glacial quarry]

bring back bf4 movement

[lunar finch]

[glacial quarry]

15 meter vouzou teleport

[paper ibex]

Returns to BF 2042 after a long time

New fear unlocked, Ballistic shield

[glacial quarry]

ngl the dozer shield is kinda funny

[lunar finch]

dozer needs to be dealt with.

[calm bison]

BFV movement pls

[glacial quarry]

i enjoy running into dozers lol

[lament iron]

Yeah, BF 4 had great dlc etc. Hopefully the player count for 2042 will be enough for them to put time and effort for more seasons

[glacial quarry]

its a 50/50 fight

[calm bison]

Except actual add drag to slide

[ebon pilot]

fr fr

[lunar finch]

no

[calm bison]

Dozer’s bashing range feels much farther than it should be

But as someone who is trying to T1 him

I don’t care

[lilac dust]

If season 6 map is 64 players only for conquest tho I'm out

[glacial quarry]

its weird

[lunar finch]

yeah idk why they did that

[ebon pilot]

didn't you get the memo they changed the T1 requirement to just be close range kills

[glacial quarry]

ive ran into some dozers who swing at me 3 times point blank and miss

[calm bison]

I know but I can still use his shield for it

New requirements still suck

[lilac dust]

I love reclaimed 64p conquest but with no 128 option I am forced to play absolutely dogshit layouts of the base maps in HOPES that I get reclaimed in rotation.... 64 player conquest playlist should be ONLY portal maps and reclaimed.

[glacial quarry]

i had one time where i was crouched and shooting some guy 100m away

[lunar finch]

imagine if u could bhop with dozers shield

[copper fulcrum]

You can slide with it lol

[glacial quarry]

a dozer ran up to me near my side like still within my vision

i was literally crouched still and he melee'd me and missed

and a teammate killed him

didn't even see him

[lunar finch]

or they should just put in rotation with all the other 128 maps

[glacial quarry]

i was shooting the guy 100m away when i just saw the shield bash animation clip through my camera

and then he died

somehow i did not get hit

[calm bison]

I still think Dozer duels are the funniest thing

[lilac dust]

That is the superior solution

[glacial quarry]

i just slide jump through the dozer when i see them

for some reason they miss a lot when you slide jump past them

[slow tulip]

What's the future of battlefield

[glacial quarry]

and usually u have enough time to kill them before they turn towards u

[slow tulip]

Specialists again in the next game??

[copper fulcrum]

Hopefully.

[glacial quarry]

battlefield has no future im afriad

[lament iron]

Hopefully not

[slow tulip]

Battlefield veterans don't want specialists

[glacial quarry]

im fine with specialists

[lament iron]

With the return of David Sirland, there might be

[lunar finch]

well sometimes the right solution is the one they refuse

[glacial quarry]

they just need to bring back the good things about each battlefield

[calm bison]

David retired

At least I’m pretty sure he did

[glacial quarry]

i don't really get the fuss about the specialists i kind of like them

[slow tulip]

The next game will have single player, i hope its long

[lament iron]

Recently? Fuuuuuuck lol I though he just returned

[slow tulip]

DICE isn't making the single player

[calm bison]

Oh no he did return

He’s working on the next title

[lament iron]

Hell yeah, that is a good news

[lunar finch]

i just dont care. specialist no specialist its still a fun game

[calm bison]

Personally I prefer the class system but I just want the next game to have substantial content on launch

[copper fulcrum]

It's not like they change 'too' much on how the games play

[calm bison]

10+ maps

[slow tulip]

Hire embark studio to make battlefield

[calm bison]

30+ guns

[glacial quarry]

bf2042 is fun they just need to add more flavour to the maps and remove the shit explosive spams infantry has

[calm bison]

A good setting

[copper fulcrum]

PFFFT I doubt they wanna touch Battlefield again

[calm bison]

A good amount of vehicles

[slow tulip]

Only they can

[copper fulcrum]

And they're their own independant studio for a reason, they're not gonna come

[lament iron]

Yeah, 2042 is fun, just needs more. Better skins

[slow tulip]

No

Need more content for portal

[glacial quarry]

portal

[slow tulip]

That's the mode i really play

[calm bison]

2042 needs more fucken maps and guns

Mostly maps

[lament iron]

All of the above

[slow tulip]

Need a map like wake island that focuses battle on water

[calm bison]

DICE should end this title with 25 maps minimum

And it’s been nearly 2 years

[lament iron]

Bring back locker and metro

[calm bison]

And we have 12 maps

[mighty holly]

2042 needs to be based

[glacial quarry]

funny how bf2042, set in a world plagued by climate problems like floods, has less water gameplay than bf4

dice got no budget for the water

[mighty holly]

like hear me out
Make BG based again

[copper fulcrum]

Wake Island would need more water-based vehicles, MAV is the only amphibious vehicle and we only have the RHIB and Hovercraft

Perhaps just a landing craft would suffice

[slow tulip]

[glacial quarry]

add more drones

its been 2 years and the entire drone menu is just ranger

💀

[slow tulip]

Still didn't address most of the issues

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah I did mention it in that

It would need landing craft for Wake Island to work

MAV can work as landing craft but that would be too powerful since it's also Amphibious

[calm bison]

I’m pretty sure Wake Island would be underwater in 2042

[copper fulcrum]

God, no underwater shit pls

We learned our lesson with 1942 submarines

[glacial quarry]

can we have urban maps that are actually urban maps

like we can actually enter buildings

[limber orbit]

a 100% urban focused map would be kinda neat ngl

[lunar finch]

real

get a map in a suburbia

[arctic grove]

no unique map only asset in field

[limber orbit]

also the camping

[lunar finch]

and please dont make the entire map destructible so theres no cover halfway through the map

[glacial quarry]

lmao

you won't have to worry about that in bf2042

dice got no budget for levolution here

[arctic grove]

Destruction could be balanced by a mix of a new fortifications mechanic and some more gunplay magic

[slow tulip]

Can we have buildings that are collapsible

[glacial quarry]

yes bring back bfv fortis

[limber orbit]

eh its just gonna be a bunch of holes in the walls

[lunar finch]

i dont miss levolution tbh

[slow tulip]

People are asking for a bf3/bf4 remake

[low gate]

anyone else cant get into a 64p game?

dosnt find a game

[slow tulip]

Bf2042 isn't a good remake

[copper fulcrum]

Because it isn't a remake?

[limber orbit]

its not a remake tho lol

[copper fulcrum]

Nor does it set out to be one?

[glacial quarry]

bf2042 is a 20 dollar game marketed as a 60 dollar one

[slow tulip]

Then give us a proper remake, that the battlefield veterans would care about

[arctic grove]

Levolution gets a bad rep, just like anything else in a game you’ve spent 50+ hrs on it’s eventually going to become something you see then just be like “”

For Shanghai like I mean I KINDA get it, some maps like flood zone or the one radar dish map did it nicely tho imo

[lunar finch]

BFV isnt a good remake

[calm bison]

Remasters are cheap and show creative bankruptcy

[copper fulcrum]

Battlefield 1 isn't a good remake

[arctic grove]

Also yea 2042 isn’t a remake but a lot of people basically wanted a better bf3/4 and then

[radiant prism]

Man 1942 was such a shitty remake

[arctic grove]

[calm bison]

Hardline was a god awful remake

[slow tulip]

Remake of what??

[limber orbit]

bf2 bad 1942 mod

[slow tulip]

Remake of what??

[slow tulip]

Bf 1942??

[arctic grove]

I mean, I sorta disagree here

COD4 remake brought a classic back to modern platforms and iirc added maybe some new maps and guns

[copper fulcrum]

Battlefield Vietnam was a good remake

[slow tulip]

Remake of what??

[copper fulcrum]

Vietnam

[slow tulip]

What game?

[copper fulcrum]

Vietnam

[lunar finch]

battlefield 2142 was a pretty bad remake imo

[limber orbit]

Vietnam

[slow tulip]

Vietnam itself not an EA game

[calm bison]

Dude Sea of Thieves is just an incredible remake

[copper fulcrum]

Are ya sure?

[lean spire]

I loved 2142

[lunar finch]

source?

[slow tulip]

Give me a wikipedia link

[limber orbit]

trust me bro

[radiant prism]

See people wanted that, but I guarantee you not one of them could agree on what that actually meant. It wasn’t ever anything more than a lofty theoretical gold standard with no basis in reality

[lunar finch]

ea made vietnam wdym

[slow tulip]

Bf3 was very good

Hardline used to be the wrost bf game but not anymore after bf2042 take over

[arctic grove]

I think it just meant the same general theme on top of the gameplay stuff we got with recent titles

[calm bison]

It’s not well known but the Vietnam war was started because the American Media upstart company Electronic Arts wanted to sue Nintendo for all its worth

[arctic grove]

As far as what’s quantifiable anyways because when people involve nostalgia it’s hard to beat that

[limber orbit]

[naive quiver]

https://youtu.be/71ijDm4IGyM dice please it’s about time to take some lessons now

[copper fulcrum]

no

[radiant prism]

Which could mean a billion different things considering how much “newer” stuff has varied from game to game

[calm bison]

And there’s your proof

[radiant prism]

Everyone hyping up le funny block game

[copper fulcrum]

I hope no one takes lessons from this game tbh

[arctic grove]

Well I guess just stick to the engine build BF1 and V shared which I would’ve liked a lot more than them trying to reinvent the wheel

[calm bison]

Next Battlefield game will be made entirely in Roblox

[radiant prism]

I think the milsim crowd loves it but that’s not really what BF is

[naive quiver]

Battlebit has 50k players and battlefield 2042 only below 9k

[arctic grove]

Tbh I’m sure a lot of people are playing battlebit, even if it’s milsim triple a fps is so stale rn

[calm bison]

Thank you Kanye, very cool!

[lunar finch]

thats cool ig

[radiant prism]

Le steam statistics??? In 2023????

[slow tulip]

Outperformed bf2042

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah it's nowhere near an actual Battlefield game

[naive quiver]

Every day we’re playing with AI such disgusting man

[slow tulip]

Why COD is more successful than BF?

[calm bison]

Did 2042 have like 100K players it’s first two weeks?

[copper fulcrum]

It's legacy

[lunar finch]

people need to stop trying to make bf some milsom war game when its an arcade shooter

[still vault]

It has the hype of streamers, low system spec requirements and low price. If it didn't have lots of players that would be the surprise.

[slow tulip]

Bf2042 pretty much got rid of it's legacy features

[copper fulcrum]

That's not what that message meant and you know it

[slow tulip]

Bad company 2 used to be good as COD

[calm bison]

Such as…?

[copper fulcrum]

Call of Duty MW22 isn't even an actual CoD game, just has the name.

[lament iron]

someone forward that to Jackfrags and Stonemountain

[radiant prism]

Jesus Christ no wonder the steam exclusive game a quarter of the price of 2042 has more steam players than 2042 does on steam while disregarding every other platform

[naive quiver]

not only that , it’s peoples are really enjoying the gameplay style

[slow tulip]

Lack of classes, it's more apex legends than a battlefield game

[copper fulcrum]

Ree

[calm bison]

BuT SteAm iS a goOd iNdiCatOr oF hOw tHe GaMe Is PerForMinG

[calm bison]

We still have classes

[lunar finch]

hmmm why does the cheaper and less graphically intensive game have more players than 2042...

[calm bison]

Assault can’t use spotting gadgets

Engineers can’t throw out ammo

[copper fulcrum]

Specialists are basically a second gadget slot or a sub-class

[glacial quarry]

ya battlefield is not a milsim

[slow tulip]

Yeah, portal but it's a mini game, not revolves around the whole game

[calm bison]

This dude hasn’t played since launch

There’s no way

[glacial quarry]

the objective play can be mil sim like

[slow tulip]

I never said nor i want bf2042 to be milsim

[glacial quarry]

but the gunplay is arcade

[naive quiver]

Everyday in battlefield 2042 we’re playing with AI not actual players

[calm bison]

And portal is a mini game?

Buddy it’s a whole fucking third of the content in this game

[glacial quarry]

wasn't talking to you

[slow tulip]

Specialists are not classes

Also according to steam, i played today

[calm bison]

Except they’ve been siphoned into the class system

[lunar finch]

well they are in classes

[calm bison]

If you want to use the RPGs you have to go play engineers

[arctic grove]

I always hated the counter argument about “but they DID add classes”, yes, but specialists are also a massive design flaw

[slow tulip]

No way those are classes, you spawn with any weapon

[lament iron]

that would be Battlefield 4 for Series X and Ps 5

[naive quiver]

They’re in classes but with specialist style

[calm bison]

The class system is still here but it’s nowhere near as restrictive as in previous entries

[glacial quarry]

even tho its an arcade shooter i kinda wish they add a bit more body part dmg

[slow tulip]

Only gadgets are locked

[glacial quarry]

rn its just head, and rest of body

[still vault]

You not liking something doesn't automatically make it a "design flaw"

[glacial quarry]

should at least have legs as well

[lunar finch]

locking weapons to classes also seemed stupid to me. hope it doesnt return.

[calm bison]

And that works just fine

If the assault wants to run a sniper

Let them

[glacial quarry]

ya thats what i like about 2042

[calm bison]

Not like they’re going to be able to throw ammo down next to themselves and camp all game

[arctic grove]

But it’s not just me that doesn’t like it lol, it’s literally one of the most disliked changes to the franchise from most people

[glacial quarry]

u can run any weapon on any "class"

[naive quiver]

Battlefield 2042 Gangnam Style specialist

[lunar finch]

it was so annoying in bf4 having to play engineer to use smgs. just let me use what i want

[calm bison]

Here’s the FPS problem

If you stick to the formula you get Call of Duty complaints how they don’t innovate

But if you innovate too much suddenly it’s no longer the same game

And the balance hasn’t really been found

[arctic grove]

I don’t really hear complaints about CoD not innovating. I hear complaints about their shitty gameplay loop

CoD does innovation and change just fine for what it is

[slow tulip]

Also bf5, bf1942, bf2, had supply drops at objectives

[calm bison]

Please tell me the difference between all of the CoD games between 2013 and 2019

[lament iron]

maybe because of Battle Royal? and streamers who hype it up?

[calm bison]

Outside of theme

[glacial quarry]

idk i stopped playing cod after bo2

[arctic grove]

I would much rather battlefield not “innovate” then ever give us another 2042 lol

[calm bison]

Except you have to try something new

[slow tulip]

Campaign, originality which bf2042 lacks

[glacial quarry]

they didn't have to "innovate"

just take the best from each bf game

and put it together

[lament iron]

true

[arctic grove]

I mean they don’t manage to be incredibly radically different. But that’s a given. All of those games still tend to have unique movement and features/mechanics

[slow tulip]

Bf2042 is apex legends than a proper battlefield game

[worldly raven]

so guys i decided to give the game a try with EA play and i did actually like it , now i was planning to buy but i can't find it? it's already added in my Library do i have to wait till EA play ends?

[calm bison]

How many Battlefield games since Hardline have Blood Money or Hotwire as a gamemode?

[copper fulcrum]

Call of Duty and originality in the same sentence makes it an incorrect sentence lol

[still vault]

At this point every gameplay aspect of Battlefield has been adjusted in the lifetime of the franchise. Classes one of the most changed gameplay aspects over time actually.

Battlefield suffer from what I like to call "Star Wars syndrome", the fanbase is so old and the franchise have always changed that no matter what you do, there will be people complaining about it loudly.

[lunar finch]

its a proper bf to me

[slow tulip]

Bf2042 feels cartoonish, bf1 had emotions

[lunar finch]

bf is cartoonish...

[copper fulcrum]

Screaming is an emotion

[lunar finch]

did u like play bf bad company?

[arctic grove]

Not when it’s motivated by corporate greed and a lack of creative vision, plus blatant disregard for a known gameplay loop

[lunar finch]

that game is so cartoony

[ebon pilot]

this is such a dumb take it makes me doubt if you've played either games

[copper fulcrum]

Also Battlefield has started out as pretty cartoonish

[calm bison]

You mean the game where they added Unicorns for a bit in the CTE?

[glacial quarry]

i think bf2042 is fine overall rn

[copper fulcrum]

1942 had soldiers shouting "Oof" when they got shot and "Geronimo" when falling from great heights (btw bring that back)

[glacial quarry]

it was a complete shitfest at launch

[arctic grove]

BF definitely hasn’t been cartoonish at least since BF3, there’s funny stuff in them but they do manage to take themselves mostly serious

[glacial quarry]

but it can actually be called a game now

[calm bison]

You mean the game with a literal cowboy trick revolver?

[slow tulip]

The voice lines in bf1 made me feel empathetic towards the characters which bf2042 doesn't have

[copper fulcrum]

Are you saying the voice line "I'm getting fucked in the ass over here!" isn't cartoonish?

[lunar finch]

bad company was the most cartoonish bf ever

[calm bison]

You mean the game with a flame trooper, tank hunter, and sentry all riding a horse that tanks a 6 pound shell?

[lunar finch]

bf has never been a serious shooter

[arctic grove]

I think subclasses were a good change to classes tbh

Well I never played a BF older than BF3 but I do know BC2 is remembered for the campaign cast being kinda funny

[glacial quarry]

realism in battlefield games

[slow tulip]

https://youtu.be/8sZMSBtSFrg

[copper fulcrum]

Don't forget the methed up guy with a spiked club running at people at full sprint

[arctic grove]

But that’s why I said ever since BF3 they typically mostly take themselves seriously

[calm bison]

https://youtu.be/gw9KcqQSRRI

[slow tulip]

https://youtu.be/cRvI0QqaNGA

[arctic grove]

I have to disagree here since, cavalry obviously could not work in a bf game if they weren’t essentially treated like vehicles

Also those elite kits mostly have irl inspiration lol

[copper fulcrum]

BF1 also had some cartoonish voice lines

[arctic grove]

Albeit their irl inspiration tended to be…. Obsolete

[calm bison]

Where’s the damn GIF

https://tenor.com/view/charge-attack-battlefield-battlefield1-attack-charge-gif-7279044

[slow tulip]

Do i have to talk about BF2042's voice lines?

[arctic grove]

I just heard the willhelm scream in it last night

[calm bison]

You mean the lines that haven’t been in this game since June 2022?

[glacial quarry]

bf2042's voice lines were so bad they removed them from the after round report

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah there was the Wilhelm scream in it as well as that other overused scream

[lunar finch]

a game can have irl inspiration and be cartoonish. look at mw2. those weapon animations are something out of a milsim game and the game is still goofy

[arctic grove]

I remember when people said “just mute your game bro” like no pls remove this shit lmao

[slow tulip]

Not only that, the overall sound design

[calm bison]

The sound design is fine

[arctic grove]

Oh I understand. I’m just talking about BF here

[copper fulcrum]

Howie Scream there we go

[slow tulip]

Doesn't have the original battlefield theme

[arctic grove]

But CoDs goofiness is one thing I actually dislike and that’s a reason why lol

[copper fulcrum]

https://youtu.be/ocsojcZbHTE?t=9

[arctic grove]

Everything seems tactical and then you get popped by a RAT HEAD

[fervent rose]

i think the "battle sounds" like distant gunfire are pretty meh in 2042

even on war tapes

[arctic grove]

I’m pretty sure the rat skin in MWII is, activision laughing at its own players

not with them

[limber orbit]

GOTY when you hear the bf theme in elevators xD

[copper fulcrum]

Oh yeah there's the Battlefield theme in Jazz

[arctic grove]

“Let’s call them exactly what they are in this 20 dollar skin bundle”

[calm bison]

I kinda like the 2042 Battlefield theme

[lunar finch]

i love how silly bf and cod is

[arctic grove]

[lunar finch]

bf1s menu music cooked ngl

[calm bison]

I would definitely prefer BFV’s theme but 2042 isn’t nearly as bad

[lunar finch]

too bad the game plays like ass now

[copper fulcrum]

https://youtu.be/OggXU1EojFI

[limber orbit]

bf1 and bfv soundtracks were amazing and still are

[slow tulip]

Bf2042's sound design is not much different from Apex legends, pretty much have the same theme

[copper fulcrum]

"the same theme"

[arctic grove]

BF1 doesn’t play bad but like, I guess if people like no restriction then eh

[glacial quarry]

boris player

[slow tulip]

Not talking about the theme song

[calm bison]

I don’t see the Apex in 2042

[slow tulip]

Carries the same vibe

[calm bison]

2042 doesn’t have nearly enough goofy emotes or skins or character designs or guns or even theme

[slow tulip]

Cartoonsh, no seriousness

[arctic grove]

I wouldn’t say it objectively plays bad tho, I’d argue movement isn’t needed to make it chaotic since that’s thanks to the rush style linear map design

[arctic grove]

Specialists my man

[slow tulip]

https://youtu.be/2otCTZrcwxE

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah the character designs aren't really 'goofy'

[glacial quarry]

battlefield is a movement game change my mind

[slow tulip]

This one has seriousness

[calm bison]

And not a single one of them are nearly as goofy as Apex characters

[arctic grove]

They’re not goofy but specialists are definitely inspired by actual hero shooters

[lunar finch]

the visibility is the worst ive ever seen in any bf

[copper fulcrum]

So what's goofy about this? https://youtu.be/Y1ePVCx_LDw

[fervent rose]

it certainly can be. but it also sometimes isnt, like bc2 and bf1

[slow tulip]

Hearing this at the start of a round makes me feel serious

[calm bison]

That shit sounds like something out of Alien

[fervent rose]

although original bf1 slide was pretty gamer

[arctic grove]

Is this Argonne forest? I’m pretty sure this is a bug

Cause my lighting never looks like that

[copper fulcrum]

Jesus that sky

Bright as fuck sky, dark as fuck ground

[limber orbit]

yea i didnt have that bright of a sky in bf1 lol

[lunar finch]

no way its a bug almost 8 years later

[limber orbit]

now 2042

who doggy

[worldly raven]

if i bought the game on steam can i some how link my Steam with EA to have the same progress? cuz im playing the game on EA with EA Play

[calm bison]

Battlefield players when the sky isn’t depressing and grey

[arctic grove]

It’s actually not unique to bf1, it’s a frostbite bug we have even in 2042

[slow tulip]

https://youtube.com/shorts/9GtdqvVPZX8?feature=share

Read the comments too

[lunar finch]

ive never had the issue in 2042

[limber orbit]

its gonna run through EA app anyways you want loose any progress

[lunar finch]

it was like that on ever map i played when i tried playing bf1

[copper fulcrum]

Nah

[calm bison]

I’m pretty sure people got pissed that BFV’s Iwo Jima took place in broad daylight even though that was historically accurate

[still vault]

They share progress as you have to link your EA and Steam account to play it over Steam.

[lunar finch]

might be a bug on nextgen ig

[copper fulcrum]

I already know the Battlefield themes lmao

Been here since 1942

[arctic grove]

I’m on ps5, I think you’re Xbox series x right?

[slow tulip]

Bf2042 butchered the theme

[copper fulcrum]

Nah

[lunar finch]

mhm

[limber orbit]

nah it didnt butcher it lol

[copper fulcrum]

The theme matches the rest of the music in the game

[limber orbit]

it fits the time period

[copper fulcrum]

That too

[arctic grove]

Luckily they added dynamic raining to appease both sides

[calm bison]

Honestly I think if 2042’s main theme was anything different it would sound terribly out of place

[copper fulcrum]

2142's theme doesn't match the vibe for that game at all

[arctic grove]

It’s a nice looking map with the rain

[lunar finch]

its 2042 and theres no catboy skins just sayin. 0/10

[limber orbit]

bruh imagine 1942 theme playing when you start a game in 2042 xD

[calm bison]

Alright here’s a take

BF3’s main theme is shit

[slow tulip]

https://youtu.be/wp1o1FIt7bs

Compare how many people like this vs bf2042's theme

[calm bison]

Digital farts

[copper fulcrum]

Literally in an ice age, civilization is destroyed. Then you get 2142's theme

[worldly raven]

okay there is a problem , i used to have the game on Steam back then but i did refund , now i added it on EA Play and it was like a whole different account , if i bought it on Steam won't stuff get mixed? like i might actually find the old account with barely no progress? or how does that work

[arctic grove]

But yeah Iwo jima probably would be broad daylight. Think about it, it’s in the middle of the pacific so it’s not affected by traveling smoke from other nearby locations

[copper fulcrum]

I don't care about other people's opinions other than mine

I live for my own thoughts not the ones others have

[slow tulip]

You need to learn about others perspectives

[copper fulcrum]

I don't care when it comes about video games

[limber orbit]

lol

[calm bison]

Except it doesn’t rain on Iwo

[glacial quarry]

based!

[next onyx]

Do you mean ice age instead of ice cage.

[calm bison]

It rains on Pacific Storm

[arctic grove]

I think I’m thinking of the wrong map

Oh yeah pacific storm my bad

[slow tulip]

Hardline felt like crime shows that you see on TV

[arctic grove]

Nvm then

[limber orbit]

no really

[next onyx]

Hardline was cool.

[limber orbit]

weird it felt like that when it was cops and robbers

[calm bison]

Hardline was campy as shit

[glacial quarry]

I miss sledgehammering people in HL

[patent path]

It da sound of da police

Woo woo

[slow tulip]

Hardline's each mission was episode

[next onyx]

I miss it when I could taser people.

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah if Hardline didn't have the Battlefield in the title it might've been received better

[calm bison]

You literally had a fucking middle finger for a spotting motion

[next onyx]

...in game.

[limber orbit]

ye netflix episodes

[lunar finch]

season 3 had the best soundtrack
https://youtu.be/6OYBwGatp0U

[next onyx]

I feel like it would of gone either way xm.

[ebon pilot]

you can really hear the ice they used when making this track

[calm bison]

But then people would’ve called it a Battlefield ripoff

[next onyx]

People would of compared it to battlefield.

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah they used elements based off the map for making the music

[still vault]

https://help.ea.com/en/help/account/link-your-console-accounts/ + https://myaccount.ea.com/cp-ui/connectaccounts/index - in other words, if you are in doubt I would contact EA Help

[copper fulcrum]

Which is fucking cool

[slow tulip]

Couldve created a whole new ip

[copper fulcrum]

I doubt that

It likely would've just been a one-off

[hollow cloak]

LMAOOO

[next onyx]

Bf1 was more damaging to the playerbase than hardline.

[calm bison]

BF1 sent in so many CoD players that I’m genuinely certain they’re half the reason why the community complains so much

[limber orbit]

it did?

what

[slow tulip]

Players liked bf1 more than hardline

[ebon pilot]

I'm serious that's what they did

This score is unusually heavy and conceptual, bringing hyper processed sounds into a dystopian near-future world in which climate change has taken hold. Each sound is made from materials in the level, so what sounds like drums, electronics and strings is really made of metals, sand, glass, custom AI Scripts to tease out new textures from field recordings, and big bass drivers stuck in chaotic feedback systems.

[next onyx]

Nah. Bf1 was just an easy game
.

[still vault]

I disagree on this. But it depends on what you want out of BF ofc. 🙂

[next onyx]

Community hates hard games.

[slow tulip]

Hardline isn't a hard game

[worldly raven]

do you guys think they are sticking with BF2042 for a bit? or we getting a new BF soon?

[fervent rose]

what do you mean

[slow tulip]

Hardline was far away from a battlefield game

[calm bison]

Is that why they hate BFV?

[next onyx]

The cheese in bf1 versus H.

[ebon pilot]

I hope they spread out BF releases so they can take more time to make new ones better

[copper fulcrum]

Discarded's music is a vibe tbh

[limber orbit]

who knows but from tweets you can sorta guess they are working on a new one with a campaign this time it seems

[next onyx]

Because people could actually have fun and be rewarded.

Change your outfits, etc.

[copper fulcrum]

Here's an Xbox News Article on the music https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/12/16/creating-the-disruptive-battlefield-2042-soundtrack/

[next onyx]

Growing up I made my support look like doom guy on hardline.

And I would run around with the double barreled shotgun.

[calm bison]

Let’s look at the cheese in BF1
-Model 10-A Hunter
-Artillery Truck
-Dreadnought
-SMG 08
-Hellriegel
-Fedorov Avtomat
-Ilya Muromets

-grenade spam

[limber orbit]

now that i respect

fecking love me some Doom

[next onyx]

Sweet spot too.

[arctic grove]

TBF, meta and broken shit exists in every BF

[worldly raven]

bro okay listen im okay with BF2042 but i hate that shit movement animation it doesn't feel like our old BF , something is missing , it ain't smooth u guys know what i mean? gungame play is meh i can skip it but that Movement idk

[arctic grove]

It’s definitely not a perfect game

[calm bison]

Oh fuck that mechanic

[fervent rose]

@calm bison elite kits, gas grenades, horses

bf1 is filled with goofy mechanics

[inner ether]

man the Jav lock on is so fucking slow

[ebon pilot]

it ain't smooth u guys know what i mean
no

[calm bison]

The tanks were utter garbage

I understand that it’s the time period

But damn

[arctic grove]

Horses and elites really are not that hard to take out tho tbh

[limber orbit]

i didnt mind the elite kits cus you could bayonet charge them

[calm bison]

This shit was bland as fuck

[arctic grove]

A madsen storm can take out the sentry in a mag

Or just bayonet them yeah lol

[worldly raven]

ngl BFV mechanics , gunplay and movement were godtier

[arctic grove]

Horses you just need to have them be dumb enough to walk over a tripwire mine which I’ve done too much

[arctic grove]

I mean I honestly disagree about the gunplay but movement was cool

[calm bison]

Gunplay in BFV is good but random recoil can go to hell

[limber orbit]

i was in a clan called UP when bf1 was at the peak or whatever you wanna call it and the leader hated the bayonet charge so i made it my mission to kill him with it at least once a match

[fervent rose]

bfv was great besides health attrition

[arctic grove]

Oh yeah

Fucking attrition

[fervent rose]

attrition is a useless mechanic in every form in bfv

[calm bison]

I think attrition for tanks and planes has benefits

[fervent rose]

it didnt help either.

planes flying in circles for resupply/repair was awful

[inner ether]

I just watched a medic trying to snipe

I went up into their face

spamming "GIVE ME AMMO"

They didnt react

They just wanted to snipe

as medic

until someone showed up and killed us both

[slow tulip]

Bf bad company 2 is GOAT

[next onyx]

In bf5 we had mmgs, at rifles, bayonet charge, shotguns (which exist in every shape and form) medic spam, Ap mine launcher on tanks and potentially plane spam. Off the top of my head.

[limber orbit]

you die close to them and they dont revive.... classic and im guessing it was a flack? xD

[copper fulcrum]

You mean the cartoon comedy game?

[inner ether]

This dude, I swear, didn't even fucking know what medic is

THey picked Falk for the self-heal

100%

[arctic grove]

Isn’t that the mechanic that separates it from other titles though?

[fervent rose]

the mmgs were toned down a fair amount thankfully

[arctic grove]

Besides ttk

[inner ether]

They don't fucking care

[arctic grove]

Which I heard dice absolutely destroyed

[ebon pilot]

One of my favorite examples of this is the sound at the beginning of “Wet Bulb,” a track based on the music for a map called Renewal. The map has an interesting dialogue between lush green areas, and very dry arid areas with a molten salt power generator present.
There's a molten salt power generator on Renewal?

[limber orbit]

people always pick falck for the self heal...

[next onyx]

I liked the idea of mmgs.

But they were not for me.

[limber orbit]

80% of falck players are idiots

[next onyx]

I would always pick the bren.

[calm bison]

The gunplay is good because the bullets go where you actually aim. They don’t fly off to fucking Timbuktu when you’re aiming

[fervent rose]

them having 0 turn rate caps on prone was really bad and frustrating

[next onyx]

Now I need to walk through the cold.

[fervent rose]

im glad that got fixed

[calm bison]

Also they kinda fixed the TTK

[inner ether]

80% of all players

[hollow cloak]

thats cool wtf

[limber orbit]

lol

[arctic grove]

TBF this could be mitigated in BF4 by tap firing

In BF1 you couldn’t but most guns were incredibly range restricted which, in my perspective helps in other ways

[slow tulip]

Bad company 2 is not

Bf2042 is

[limber orbit]

[calm bison]

Yeah except I think BFV’s gunplay felt more rewarding. They compensated the lack of attachments by including specializations

[limber orbit]

you dont approve of 2042 we get it

[fervent rose]

spread to recoil is also managed by tap firing/bursting

[arctic grove]

BFV will simply throw your reticle around as opposed to the bullets

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah 2042's soundtrack is 'cool', in the fact that it uses elements of the map in it's music

[drowsy shuttle]

We are getting double xp this weekend?

[limber orbit]

no clue but if we do you arent getting it

[drowsy shuttle]

[arctic grove]

True, but I did tap with the m1 carbine and felt it fighting me

[copper fulcrum]

I think we are

[arctic grove]

It’s pretty much the same randomness from earlier titles but implemented slightly differently

[inner ether]

I made a thread months ago about how this game's most major problem isn't bugs, glitches and balance. It's the player base being mind-bogglingly idiotic.

[drowsy shuttle]

Cool

[calm bison]

2042, the game where
-Dozens of nations have collapsed
-Entire cities and countries have flooded
-Two superpowers are at war
-A third faction comprised of the 1.2 Billion people who no longer have a country
-A satellite that can spawn tornadoes
-Wildfires engulfing all of the Baltic states
-A possible ice age coming

[inner ether]

Every day it just gets worse

Bad Company 2

[arctic grove]

And none of it has anything to do with gameplay, the theme inspires some of the maps really well but specialists…..

[calm bison]

A game where Russia invades North America and they send a group of 4, one of which is a buck toothed red neck to stop them

[copper fulcrum]

oh and they just want gold

[limber orbit]

well fuck me side ways with a flip flop i didnt know this was a thing lol

[calm bison]

IDK. Sundance survived a fucking Nuke in Paris

Irish had the shit with Tombstone squad

Falck lost her fucking son

[arctic grove]

I think specialists were separately implemented besides the story for…. reasons

[copper fulcrum]

Falck's trying to locate her lost son who went MIA, yeah

[arctic grove]

[copper fulcrum]

Dozers fighting for his US citizenship

[limber orbit]

lmao

[calm bison]

Zain lost his legs, Lieutenant Dan style

[fervent rose]

the "story" is some loosely written stuff on top at best

[arctic grove]

Zain is 4 years old rn irl

Which is, obvious, but a bit funny at the same time

[glacial quarry]

Dozer is captain america

[calm bison]

And all of the Exodus no-pats are considered enemies of the state in the US

[glacial quarry]

his shield deflects tank shells

[calm bison]

Oh that’s hilariously wrong

[glacial quarry]

He’s captain america but the job position got taken by immigrants

[limber orbit]

captain mexico*

[arctic grove]

Yep

[fervent rose]

then why do you see nothing of the "story" in the gameplay besides little blurbs in the intro narration

i'm sure casuals are like : WHO THE FUCK IS OZ

[calm bison]

Yes

Let’s narrate the entire beginning of how mankind started after the asteroids

At the beginning of a fucking match

[arctic grove]

The nuke from from bf3?

[calm bison]

Yep

[arctic grove]

Some of the maps show the story interestingly but that’s besides it

[radiant prism]

A lot of lore nowadays is in the descriptions of player cards

[limber orbit]

oh damn thats right a nuke got set off

[arctic grove]

Like renewal, exposure, orbital, etc

Which coincidentally are some of my favorite maps in the game

[radiant prism]

They were orphaned by the nuke according to their bio

[limber orbit]

i want the oil tanks on breakaway to be able to lag the server again

[calm bison]

Like how many people here actually know the lore behind games like Overwatch, Team Fortress 2, or hell fucking Fortnite

[ebon pilot]

Fornite has lore?

[calm bison]

The lore is there for people who give a little extra shit

[calm bison]

Apparently

[fervent rose]

yes but the lore in 2042 is nonsensical

[glacial quarry]

makes sense the guy spawning tornados is called oz

[ebon pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-believe-you-gif-24248233

[calm bison]

I mean he stole US technology for it

[arctic grove]

Boris Lore is pretty deep.

[calm bison]

https://theexodusarchives.com/

[arctic grove]

HAARP canon in 2042?

He abandoned the Russian army or was it a private army?

Also Oz as in the Wizard of Oz?

[fervent rose]

a website full of nonsensical lore

[limber orbit]

ofc

[calm bison]

Just because it doesn’t make sense to you doesn’t mean it’s nonsensical

[fervent rose]

like if you dont think about it, sure, its fine

[hybrid totem]

Not just nonsensical, but fanfiction too.

[fervent rose]

no theres stuff from in game

im ignoring the weird fanfiction

[calm bison]

Apparently the plot of a game is fanfiction

You guys hear that?

[fervent rose]

it's less logically sound than some amateur fan fiction

[lunar finch]

[hybrid totem]

...are you willingly ignoring the 90% fanfiction content on your own source?

[calm bison]

You literally have access to an archive giving you the entire timeline of lore provided by DICE

[arctic grove]

battle field twenty forty two

[calm bison]

Even though the website is fanmade it’s an entire collection of all of the lore shit from this game

[hybrid totem]

As well as a lot of fanfiction.

[calm bison]

If it was nonsensical DICE wouldn’t be pouring so much into it

[hollow cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/schizo-cat-the-voices-gif-25415230

[fervent rose]

they aren't "pouring" much its some little voice overs and they did an explosion once

[calm bison]

You don’t have an Easter egg where players get to fire a cruise missile at a factory because the lore is meaningless

[next onyx]

If the lore wasn't explained through FOMO player cards I would be less annoyed.

[calm bison]

You don’t have an Easter egg where players get to spawn a tornado because the lore is meaningless

[hybrid totem]

You're right, you have an Easter egg where players get to fire a cruise missile at a factory because players like explosions.

[calm bison]

Except who the fuck is Wolff

Why is Zain talking about him

[hybrid totem]

That does not matter to the people who just want to see things go boom.

[arctic grove]

Imagine if DICE can actually make a good 2042 story lore

[drowsy shuttle]

I want a suppressor for my Gol Sniper

[fervent rose]

no pats were never a logical concept

everything further is compounded by this

the lore never "added up"

[hybrid totem]

No pats! We have no country! Except for this one. Made up of all no pats.

[copper fulcrum]

So if a country falls, literally every person that lived in it falls

[calm bison]

The idea that billions of people no longer belong to a country because they all failed due to a failing economy and climate

Is not absurd

[copper fulcrum]

No-Pats are just refugees but with a different name

[hybrid totem]

Yes but all nopats are battle hardened soldiers.

[calm bison]

Where

Where does it say that

[ebon pilot]

wot

[next onyx]

Just mercs.

[arctic grove]

Wagner

[fervent rose]

irish fighting for Russians really makes sense right?

[copper fulcrum]

Not all no-pat is a mercenary or a soldier
