no, it doesnt

copper fulcrum
#

Irish is fighting for Exodus

calm bison
#

I mean he gave up his allegiance to the US so it’s not out of the question

fervent rose
#

nonsensical lore

calm bison
#

Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s nonsensical

next onyx
#

Problem is that now that the U.S is the antagonist it makes no sense for Irish to be in that side at all.

fervent rose
#

I understand it completely dreyfuss

calm bison
#

I don’t understand quantum physics but that doesn’t mean it’s nonsensical

fervent rose
#

they can write whatever fan fiction nonsense they want, it still doesnt add up

copper fulcrum
#

No-Pats aren't just soldiers

calm bison
#

That family of four?

#

Secret spies for Russia

copper fulcrum
#

Obviously if stuff happens to a country in some way, refugees are going to happen

hybrid totem

#

cough my fucking state is inhabited by them

#

heavy cough

calm bison
#

A failed state is a state that has lost its effective ability to govern its populace. A failed state maintains legal sovereignty but experiences a breakdown in political power, law enforcement, and civil society, leading to a state of near-anarchy.

#

Germany is a failed state in 2042

#

So is India

copper fulcrum
#

EU has literally fallen too

calm bison
#

1.4 billion people live in India in 2023

#

In 2042, that’s 1.4 billion No-Pats

ebon pilot
fervent rose
#

okay and the mercenary group known as exodus working for both factions still doesnt make sense

calm bison
#

Do you not understand how mercenaries work?

fervent rose
#

are they fighting each other and then coming home for supper?

#

awkward

hybrid totem
#

Even mercenaries choose the side that pays more.

limber orbit
#

you do want your family fed or whatever the us dude says at the start of renewal

calm bison
#

If I’m a merc and the US asks me to defend a Swedish factory for like 4000 dollars, but RU asks me to attack it for 6000

#

I’m siding with Russia

#

I’ll side with the US if they pay me more

hybrid totem
#

I love how you're setting up and knocking down your own argument without participating in the discussion at large.

fervent rose
#

but they throw that out of the window with Oz and his no pat new country. we're Ozzians now but also still going to war for US/Russia randomly against each other?

ebon pilot
# fervent rose are they fighting each other and then coming home for supper?

In game your squad of specialists are the only squad of Exodus specialists. None of the others exist lore wise, they're all different mercs in different no-pat groups. It's like Apex rules where all the other legends are actually just different people with the same loadouts and gadgets as the legends they're playing as, and if you die to the legend you're playing as, you weren't the legend, you were just a grunt.

#

2042 lore sounds like a bad fanfic

fervent rose
#

okay but now they revealed he's the good guy and we're all saved!

limber orbit
#

ozzians xD

calm bison
#

I wouldn’t call him a good guy

fervent rose
#

and we live happily forever in new Oz land

calm bison
#

No one named Oz is good

fervent rose
#

So he's the bad guy whos the good guy whos actually the bad guy!

arctic grove
#

Also im suprised despite all the chaos and Econimic downfall The UN is nowhere to be found or mentioned

fervent rose
#

what a wild twist they have for us for season 7

steep jewel
#

Some people just want to watch the world burn backwards

arctic grove
lunar finch
calm bison
#

There’s a saying

#

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend”

#

Oz is not good

arctic grove
calm bison
#

But he’s not trying to kill me

#

Unlike the US

elfin coral
#

you can be the defacto "good guy" but still be shitty

steep jewel
#

The friend of my enemy is sometimes my friend, but is mostly just iraq

ebon pilot
elfin coral
#

it's just who's the least shitty option

#

it's a matter of who is the least shitty choice who might actually try to help those displaced

steep jewel
#

It's like China building hospitals in Africa, sure they're China but they sure didn't have those hospitals before

ebon pilot
fervent rose
#

yea i couldnt remember the name

calm bison
#

Up until S4 we had no clue what Oz was doing. We figured he was the de facto bad guy since we’re presented with two Superpowers who are effectively puppets in this

#

And given that he was doing really shitty things

#

We weren’t for sure going to side with him

elfin coral
calm bison
#

But when word gets out that one of those super powers caused a worldwide blackout

#

And that superpower is now trying to kill us

elfin coral
#

it was only the US tho

#

the Russians barely have any relevance to the plot other than setting up the initial conflict

lunar finch
#

2042 lore

calm bison
#

Yeah Russia was kinda forgotten in this

#

Well

#

The chat has died down

#

I like all of you a little less than before

ebon pilot
#

ok

limber orbit
#

rude

elfin coral
#

damn even me?

#

but i didn't do anything

calm bison
#

Equality through hatred

arctic grove
copper fulcrum
#

Also there are apparently 1.2 billion no-pats

elfin coral
#

yup

copper fulcrum
#

".mov" file

calm bison
#

Just repost the link so we can have the video pls

arctic grove
#

The urge to explain why Russia having more than 2 functioning t14s is black magic

calm bison
#

Also another thing

#

Is the M1A5 Abrams in 2042 a version of the Abrams X?

arctic grove
elfin coral
arctic grove
#

I think IVAS allows soldiers to shoot pretty much from behind cover

elfin coral
#

but the turret looks more like a Merkava or Leopard

copper fulcrum
#

It does say "still in it's prime" so it's probably just a regular Abrams

elfin coral
#

also

arctic grove
#

I always thought Israel was gonna be a faction in 2042 cause the m1a5 turret looks just like a merkava

elfin coral
#

if we're on the A5 already

#

where's the A3 and A4?

arctic grove
#

I think those actually exist rn

next onyx
#

Abram X firing dense as fuck uranium shells.

arctic grove
#

M1a2 sep v4

elfin coral
#

that doesn't count

next onyx
#

Well it's the closest.

arctic grove
#

Oh you mean a whole new tank

#

I see

next onyx
#

Probably just fatal flaw with the a3 and a4.

chilly jacinth
#

abrams x is just a concept still

calm bison
#

Also the T-28 in 2042 is just the T-14 but DICE did a goofy for some reason

elfin coral
#

just with 50 bajillion upgrades and updates

arctic grove
#

True. I got the v4 mixed up

calm bison
#

What’s weird is that they call the SU-57 it’s accurate name

#

Felon

#

But the T-14 is now the T-28

#

One of many

chilly jacinth
#

t28 because the future

elfin coral
#

boom

#

done

#

lore explanation complete

calm bison
drowsy shuttle
#

Anybody else not getting assists with lis rockets or just me?

arctic grove
#

I honestly wonder where Russia might be in 20 yrs. They’re still dealing with brain drain from when the ussr collapsed

calm bison
#

IRL

chilly jacinth
#

its only getting worse

calm bison
#

Russia wouldn’t probably exist by then

#

Honestly the US might outlive Russia at this rate

arctic grove
#

?

#

Why wouldn’t we? CursedCat

calm bison
#

I’m expecting Russia to do a China and form into smaller micro states that fight amongst themselves

elfin coral
arctic grove
#

US issues are mainly domestic politics but I doubt it’d be some civil war type shet

radiant prism
#

Clearly in this timeline Russia is actually a competent power

elfin coral
arctic grove
calm bison
#

How come when I play in 2042 air superiority there are more than 4 Felons in the sky

arctic grove
#

We gotta get our gpus man

elfin coral
#

so...

arctic grove
calm bison
#

Doesn’t [REDACTED] make GPUs? Not China?

arctic grove
calm bison
#

Ah

elfin coral
#

2042 is just GFL AU lore but with worse writing

#

so much potential that got kneecapped so hard

arctic grove
#

Ikr

#

Next battlefield should just be like mid 2020s/30s with no specialists and kinda lay the framework with the campaign n stuff

elfin coral
#

honestly if they just did a redo of 2042 that'd be good enough for me

arctic grove
#

I like the 2042 theme just wish it was done a bit differently

elfin coral
#

No-Pats should've just been something in the background and not at the forefront

arctic grove
#

No pats better justified customization to make a unique character anyways rather than specialists imo

left hollow
arctic grove
#

For sure

elfin coral
left hollow
#

i can just picture a scripted event with some crazy natural hazard

elfin coral
#

the way they did customization in that was actually good

sour meadow
#

i wish we had earthquakes or volcanoes or sumn

left hollow
#

like some tsunami wouldve gone so hard

elfin coral
sour meadow
#

i did

elfin coral
#

those were actually pretty sick

sour meadow
#

give us a really dark map

#

give us a reason to use flashlights and thermals

mortal hornet
#

They gotta fix the smokes first for thermals

#

People become invisible lol

sour meadow
#

i just realized

drowsy shuttle
#

Destroyed a full mav with c5 didnt counted for the weekly mission... okay then... is there anything working properly in this game?

sour meadow
#

NVGS have never been in a bf

calm bison
elfin coral
sour meadow

compact juniper

ho i can play air superiority

limber orbit
#

we talking nvgs on the player or scopes on guns

#

cus bf4 had some scopes iirc

sour meadow
#

on the player

#

make it like the gas mask from bf1

limber orbit
#

i played HL but very very very very little

sour meadow
#

i wanted to give it a chance but i got in too late

#

no servers on pc

limber orbit
#

maybe an hour or 2

#

so i didnt know that the game had nvgs either lol

crimson fog
#

anyone else not able to connect to ea servers right now?

chilly jacinth
#

you dont need nvg in this game

limber orbit
#

nope

#

its so damn bright

sour meadow
#

i just want a night map goddammit lol

drowsy shuttle
#

You guys talking about NVGs and i just want to be able to cook my frag nades.... its unbeliavable that we cant...

sour meadow
#

i want a reason to use flashlights on my guns

limber orbit
#

only reason atm is to "blind" the enemy

arctic grove
#

Damn

drowsy shuttle
limber orbit
#

and tbh that just makes you a target

drowsy shuttle
limber orbit
#

im fine with that since the regular nade is a mini nuke

drowsy shuttle
#

I rather them to reduce the goddamn 400m radius and damage and give us the option to cook it

limber orbit
#

that i wouldnt mind

#

man the SVK is really easy to T1

#

guess it helps with 2hk

cunning nacelle
#

What are the best guns i can use? I keep getting shit on i suck

It was fine yesterday and today i keep getting orange squares top left of my screen

YALL SAID MY NAME WAS FINE

YALL MONKEYS

limber orbit
calm bison
#

So I just nearly gave myself a heart attack

arctic grove
calm bison
#

I went to my Xbox to go play some 2042 with a friend

arctic grove
#

I even asked them if it was fine to

calm bison
#

And I thought i could be cool by turning on my Xbox with the app

#

It ended up making the controller weird

#

I tried restarting the Xbox

#

To see if that would solve it

#

It was taking a long time to restart

#

So I got new batteries for the controller and hard restarted it

#

And everything is back to normal

drowsy shuttle
#

That akward moment where kaleidoscope needs a rework.

frank tartan
#

why

drowsy shuttle
#

A1 and A2 is almost flat

kindred flint
#

rerework?

limber orbit
#

well the rework isnt out yet

kindred flint
#

Hmm kale got one?

#

are you thinking of hourglass

patent path
#

Reeeeework

limber orbit
#

oh shit

kindred flint

limber orbit
#

64p or 128p

#

also nah mostly B sector and Middle sector

drowsy shuttle
limber orbit
#

he was talking to me there cus i most deff mixed the two up

#

Ah fair enough

arctic grove

Like G and C

warm notch
#

This 8,000 blasco is going to take foreverrrr

drowsy shuttle
#

8000 what?

warm notch
#

Why did they make it so high >_<

#

For her tier 1 jam thing

drowsy shuttle
#

Could be worse.. you could be tier 1 Lis and not getting destroyed vehicles assists

ebon pilot
#

Blasco T1 is actually extremely easy

#

Especially in Breakthrough

warm notch
#

I'm trying to get it in Rush - it was recommended from people here

#

I guess it's going kinda quickly now that I think about it - I'm at 1380 and I started 1-2 hrs ago at 170

drowsy shuttle
#

Quoting Blasco:

#

Bale

arctic grove
#

Blaesco

#

also Lis

ebon pilot

#

aww yeah 25 damage done with the AT nade, fuck yeah best thing ever

drowsy shuttle

drowsy shuttle
#

I know that

split ember
#

Are the servers down or something? Can't seem to connect to any game

drowsy shuttle
#

Nope im playing

split ember
#

Everything is empty. Even the portal servers are showing 0 players 😕

limber orbit
#

#

aint nothing wrong with the servers

fiery shoal
#

kindred flint
#

Apparently leo

limber orbit
#

discord is always down

split ember
#

Wth is going on

limber orbit
#

kindred flint
#

2077 one is also down

Okay now my game is asking for update. I try to update it. It says finalizing and then asks me to update again

Sing the camp fire song

fresh lintel
#

We didn't start the fire

calm bison
#

So I have just set a personal record for 33 melee kills in one match

#

With Dozer

drowsy shuttle
#

Im pretty sure the suppressors on the g36 are not working properly

placid echo
#

I wish there was a separate record stat for dog-tags taken in a match

drowsy shuttle
#

Yeah id like that too

#

I would do more takedowns per match

sullen mulch
#

I wonder if turnming off crossplay would solve my teams being shit

kindred flint
#

probably not Cat_Tongue

chilly jacinth
#

Definitely not

drowsy shuttle
#

Definitely yes, because then you couldnt find a match therefore no teammates at all, so no bad teammates either.

chilly jacinth
hot hazel
#

why is this season obessed with gernade dmg missions

#

not everyone stand still to get hit with it💀

mortal hornet
#

best sniper for conquest?

drowsy shuttle
#

SWS for everything

fervent rose
#

i like the gol magnum

#

but if you're being one of those silly goofs that shoots at 500m use rorsch

drowsy shuttle
#

I will never understand conquest

hybrid totem
#

There's a bunch of objectives, sometimes divided into sectors, that two teams fight over for control.

#

It often has the most vehicles of any mode.

drowsy shuttle
#

Thanks, captain.

hybrid totem
#

Is there something specific you don't understand?

drowsy shuttle
#

The fun and logic of it... i mean you kill a guy he gon spawn behind you ...

hybrid totem
#

Being able to approach objectives from multiple angles is generally considered a positive of the mode.

calm bison
#

Absolutely 0% of the map is blocked off outside of spawns

drowsy shuttle
#

Frontlines will always be the best battlefield game mode

calm bison
#

I enjoy frontlines but given that the timer effectively moves up instead of down

#

Means matches can go on for longer than they’re supposed to

#

Also buff the storm on Spearhead

fervent rose
calm bison
#

All of the objectives have specific spawn areas

#

And if you have this little thing called situational awareness it’s not too big of a problem

hybrid totem
#

Junik may disapprove of the concept of backcapping.

fervent rose
#

but 2042's maps are definitely too big and open, they have very little natural flow

edgy torrent
#

the spawns have definately gotten better over time but you occassionally have so many people in a sector you get boned

#

ALso honestly too when you spawn on Squadmates, soemtimes you get unlucky and your squadmate is being hunted

hybrid totem
#

Bring back the bf4 preview camera!

calm bison
#

I think the map reworks have made a lot of the 128 CQ layouts much better

#

Manifest and Renewal are the weakest ones

edgy torrent
hybrid totem
#

Every time they update the maps, a new map becomes the weakest.

edgy torrent
#

tbh with you I think Kaledoscope could do with another pass, as it was the irst one

calm bison
#

Well the problem with manifest is that the rework didn’t really change anything

#

Outside of removing a few cranes and adding a few more pieces of cover

hybrid totem
#

I don't remember the previous version, that's for sure.

#

Oh right, they added all that junk that's hard to drive over.

edgy torrent
#

I feel like, Kaledoscope could use a better expanded..Metro system of sorts haha

calm bison
#

The problem with Kaleidoscope is that in some areas you wouldn’t have any clue that the map has changed

edgy torrent
#

like if the A sector was an underground Mall and the riverfront went all the way up to the server acility

fervent rose
#

kaleido and manifest are really bad maps

calm bison
#

I always believed Kaleidoscope could have a cool blackout Levolution

edgy torrent
#

I like the new military areas, and the changes they made around the scrapers

drowsy shuttle
#

I think the problem is the 128p.. and maps.. @fervent rose is right.. the flow is weird...

edgy torrent
#

I've bene playing the game since launch and honestly, it feels much more like a BF game in its current state and in some ways I think it improves on what 4 did and does parts better

fervent rose
#

there's very very little predictability in 128 conquest

calm bison
#

Here’s the idea: Replace either the skate park or memorial park with an electric plant. Allow players to sabotage this plant. In doing so, the entire map goes dark. Elevators don’t work. The bridges don’t move. Automatic doors also shut off. Oh and set the map to night

edgy torrent
#

I would kinda like i going forward, they go back to 64p, but keep the bot stuff and do a titanfall sort of thing

hybrid totem
#

That's the joy of conquest in my opinion. Not predictable.

edgy torrent
#

Have events on the map where you get bots spawning in

drowsy shuttle
fervent rose
#

but conquest in other games IS predictable

edgy torrent
#

So like say if they expanded the squad missions thing and you had to go to a certain hot point, you'd have bots spawning in to make the fight harder

hybrid totem
#

So why do you play conquest, Junik?

calm bison
#

Not really

#

Conquest has never been predictable

drowsy shuttle
edgy torrent
#

a good squad or 2 can swing a conquest game really wildly

calm bison
#

The only valid prediction you can have is that all of the objectives on the map will be attacked at some point

hybrid totem
#

Ah, yeah, it is the most popular mode this is true.

edgy torrent
#

like my friends and I may have won an entire match for our team when we back took some sectors without the enemy noticing

fervent rose
#

okay well thats just wrong, tons of the smaller/medium maps have very predictable flow

edgy torrent
#

then the ticket bleed did the rest

calm bison
hybrid totem
#

Still mad they removed the death vs ticket bleed stats on the scoreboard.

fervent rose
#

right and 2042 maps arent really built for anything, they just threw stuff together on giant spaces

calm bison
#

I’m not surprised when there’s a stalemate in Locker or Underground because the devs designed it like that

hybrid totem
ebon pilot
calm bison
#

Also that doesn’t mean the 2042 maps don’t have a flow. Renewal is ironically the best example

edgy torrent
#

Loker, Metro and to a lesser extend Underground, were just meat grinders unless you could swing around and pincer the etam at C flag

hybrid totem
fervent rose
hybrid totem
#

If it was on purpose they never included it in the patch notes. Typical DICE.

calm bison
#

D and E are largely just tank battlegrounds

fervent rose
#

2042 it's just random as fuck compared to the medium sized maps of bf1/bfv

edgy torrent
#

BFV's map design methodoly was much mroe linear than 2042s

#

like 2042 has moved back to a sandbox

#

BF1 and V were really restrictive

calm bison
#

Here’s the idea behind recent conquest maps

#

Both teams race towards the middle and force a stalemate

#

And flanking is usually uncommon

edgy torrent
#

tbf

#

joking aside, one of the better new aps is Spearhead

calm bison
#

Yes but that is because that layout works

edgy torrent
#

which is very much a run to the middle and smash into each other

calm bison
#

Let’s look at Al Sundan

fervent rose
#

Spearhead is an excellent map

calm bison
#

There is no middle point on Al Sundan

edgy torrent
#

let us all raise a glass to spearhead haha

calm bison
#

The entire map is too big for it

edgy torrent
#

seriously i love that map

fervent rose
#

Al Sundan was only really fun in frontlines

hybrid totem
#

Spearhead suffers from being too narrow.

#

And who decided only one side should get big buildings to hide behind, wtf?

edgy torrent
#

the narrowness can add to it at times, you have to do some mad stuff to break through unless in a vehicle

hybrid totem
#

The buildings should be B and D.

edgy torrent
#

&air vehicle

calm bison
#

But here’s the thing

fervent rose
#

tons of conquest maps are very imbalanced like that

calm bison
#

The US gimmes are easier to take

edgy torrent
#

My biggest issue with spearhead is, I don't care how absurd a long climb it would be

#

there nees to be acess to the cubes rooftops

calm bison
#

H E L I C O P T E R H E L I C O P T E R

fervent rose
#

you can multi grapple up as mackay in a specific spot or yea, heli up

hybrid totem
#

I do tire of people using air taxis.

edgy torrent
#

we all know there can be rouns where you have the ditch pilots and none available

calm bison
#

Honestly my best strat is grab a hind and just sit on the E1 roof

edgy torrent
calm bison
#

You have excellent cover from the ground

#

And players are going to spawn on you regardless

edgy torrent
#

Oh I know, its not that big an issue, but sometimes you just want to get up there and knife a camper

calm bison
#

Reasons I like new Breakaway more than old breakaway:
Reason Number 1: it reminds me of Hoth from the first battlefront dice released and that makes me happy
The end

edgy torrent
#

even if the access was a McKay grapple train up to a little porthole above the fan system in the building already

#

just an alt way up there

hybrid totem
#

Still mad they axed the ice tunnels.

calm bison
#

Eh

edgy torrent
#

on Breakaway?

calm bison
#

The access to D1 from E1 gives me just enough glee but yeah I want some ice caves damnit

#

I created a meme hold on

hybrid totem
edgy torrent
#

I just hope the dev team gets to work like it is currently, lie we all know we will be getting only so much with 2042, but the gameplay iwe are seeing I hope is good test cases for the future franchise

edgy torrent
#

I kinda wish they kept the big dumb observatory in too somehow

#

move it closer or something

hybrid totem
#

Move the observatory mountain north of b

calm bison
#

It would’ve been really funny if DICE included a frozen Tauntaun in Breakaway

edgy torrent
#

B?

calm bison
#

But nah we get Meg

edgy torrent
#

that the one down as you elave the glacier?

hybrid totem
#

Then people can duke it out from the observatory to the ice rig

edgy torrent
#

sorry ive been playign a lot of CQ64 recently, flag layouts all over the place

hybrid totem
#

Sorry to hear that.

edgy torrent
#

hahaha

#

JUst felt the want to play soem arica, caspian and Noshar

hybrid totem
#

B is the valley at the bottom of the snow road

edgy torrent
#

yeah thats the one

#

even if they had that icewall on that side be the observatory

hybrid totem
#

Caspian is so... Boring. I wish it had the wall like in bf4, but no, they remastered the bf3 version.

edgy torrent
#

oh BF4 Caspian and Firestorm are better imo

#

also the cool unerwater infiltration hatch

#

to sneak up on the hilltop insetad of dying 10 times

hybrid totem
#

The entire interior of the mountain complex! What a waste.

edgy torrent
#

ah

#

if 2042 was what it is now at launch

#

and Portal was supported as it would have been

#

im sure we'd be up to some crazy number of old maps

fervent rose
#

caspian was such a lame choice to remake for the 2nd time

edgy torrent
#

At least they have their heads screwed on gameplay wise atm, fair play on the turnaround

hybrid totem
#

I would have been happy to wait another year for bf2042 to release.. Damnit EA.

edgy torrent
edgy torrent
#

they have taken feedback really well on this one

hybrid totem
#

.... ehh

edgy torrent
#

I've played every BF sicne BC2 and followed the games as theyr elease/direct oms and what not and this is definately a change of pace

#

Ah it is

BOOO

YOWWWWL

edgy torrent
#

ALso probably unpopular opinion, but I like the specialist sub class roles

#

within the class system they feel great

hybrid totem
#

I never minded the specialists.

edgy torrent
#

the classs system has been busted for ages

hybrid totem
#

Not a fan of cosmetics, but you can't fight em.

efinately needed a shakeup

#

I'm 50/50 on cosmetics

carmine rover
#

i like engineers but having their class gadget a repair tool is kind of stupid. pretty much useless in all gamemodes except conquest

#

no point to use any engineer in tdm

#

or rush

edgy torrent
#

Part of me would have been fine with a US/RU skin where you'd need either set for whatever

#

thats one thign that gets me soemtimes, the identification ata glance

hybrid totem
#

They could have sold twice as many cosmetics. Buy skins for US and for Russia!

Boggles the mind that execs can ask for cosmetics but not monetize it properly.

#

Also honestly, dumb psyychology, but if skins for 500 a pop rather than 1k

I can't stop jerking off to furry porn god help me

I'd buy them without thinking because ape brain

Lopunny is just so fuckin thicc man

carmine rover
#

if you get a map like. stranded its no point to use engineer

#

or reclaimed

fervent rose
#

okay you picked the one infantry only map

carmine rover
#

or flashpoint

fervent rose
#

flashpoint and reclaimed repairs are just as good as any

carmine rover
#

renewal too.. but not really

edgy torrent
#

Ah Stranded if you take the desert side hill

#

take that with a TOR or something

#

repair tool is useful for sure

carmine rover
#

and manifest too

edgy torrent
#

its more niche for sure, but yeah I have tried to check what use i have for stuff on different maps, stranded definately cropped up

#

here me out..

#

what if..the repair tool..

#

could put up baeracades..on lags

#

fortification system 2? eh eh

fervent rose
#

that map is random as hell for ground vehicles

edgy torrent
#

also with vehicle stuff on manifest, with the fact you can swap out APS instead of repairs, having a engineer R2D2 with you is super useful

#

I think the game could of done with 1 more specialist for each class though

#

An Engineer with a Magnetic mine would have been cool

#

idk what you'd do for support

#

maybe a Ranger like Mule call in that buffs the resupply of specialist gadgets

hot hazel
#

what r best attachments for the gew

drowsy shuttle
#

Extended mag and red dot

#

The rest dont really matter.. default muzzle, tac comp or the one to control the horizontal recoil (forgot the name) you cant go wrong with any of them

#

Tonight i used the horizontal one... the other day i used the tac comp.. didnt noticed much difference

#

Grip bcg

#

Or the lwg

#

Again i dont notice much difference between them

edgy torrent
#

Laser for QC

fervent rose
#

stnr laser imo

drowsy shuttle
#

Ah i forgot that.. i was griding the weapon to unlock the laser.. but ive been doing so good at any distance with the bcg that i even forgot to equip the laser lol

I have already 740 kills

I just like him for his passive.

#

Even if APS is ever prevalent.

calm bison
#

TBH his passive makes the screen get all weird

next onyx
#

You can disable that.

calm bison
#

It’s like someone deep fried my screen

next onyx
#

I'm used to the action.

hot hazel
#

his passive is heal after kill right?

next onyx
#

Yeah.

#

It entirely skips his healing delay.

#

Its incredibly useful.

hot hazel
#

its not bad, but its just his special gun thing i suck at

next onyx
#

It's odd.

hot hazel
#

dont get how to really use it

next onyx
#

Hard and easy to understand.

#

Think of it like this

hot hazel
#

i get its aoe but it jsut feels inefficient

next onyx
#

Imagine a cube and you lock onto it with the XM. It'll blow up around it.

#

Left right above.

hot hazel
#

yeah, best not direct im pretty sure

next onyx
#

As soon as you ADS or press the lock on button on desired cover it'll "lock on"

hot hazel
#

and thats where it says switch to lock on burst?

fervent rose
#

it shoots slightly past wherever you "lock in"

#

thats all there is to it

next onyx
#

Erm just think that it sees a bit of cover.

#

And it'll blow up around it

Was the weapon balance dev in charge of nerfing the RM doing EEs all through s4 so he didnt have time? keanu

i would accuse him of just being very unaware in general

calm bison

I have a friend who’s getting into this game

#

And he asked me what the best gun is in the game

I told him the RM68

I did tell him the caveat that he will be looked down upon

He didn’t fully understand

This was before the nerf

Best gun is rpt-31

That's pretty interesting, though some of the people mentioned or speaking in these I have no clue who any of them are, probably would've been a pretty decent campaign if we got one imo, I wonder if there are any that mention Recker

Having an issue where Spotify stutters CONSTANTLY while playing 2042. Regardless of restarting it/spotify/my pc or messing with audio settings. Does anyone know why this happens? 2042 is the only game i've ever had this issue on.

I think this season they would have finished the launch condition because they are dropping the hourglass rework

First time I've seen Hannah mentioned in the game

That would be a hilarious way to torpedo their product.

I heard it a while back but we'll just have to wait and see

limber orbit

Definitely can't be only a campaign lol

Nah lol

Unless modern gaming is starting to turn into full price multiplayer only or another full price for campaign only

fuck it, nopats vs humanoid aliens, why not?

Nope

More people play BF4

Nah people are so high on bf4 nostalgia if it was a drug it would be the best on the marketJoyTeeth

trail blaze
# arctic grove it was overly hated

I enjoyed it quite a bit, campaign and multiplayer but got into MP when it was dying, never even really got to try out any of the DLCs lol, or at least everything in them, some maps I never even got to play

arctic grove
#

It was really fun to me

tepid agate
#

Ah well yeah bf4 shows more on steam than hardline

arctic grove
#

I actually enjoyed it more than BFV and BF1

tepid agate
#

Wonder if 2042 is higher than bfV yet 🧐

arctic grove
#

Returned to 2042 immediately

#

As much as I trash talk 2042, i just cant bring myself to play any of the other battlefield games

tepid agate
arctic grove
#

I stopped playing COD recently

tepid agate
#

I just do Dmz. More teamwork focused

arctic grove
#

Would rather play 2042, which is saying something

tepid agate
#

I went on 2042 some weeks ago to try the new map but stopped again

arctic grove
#

New maps are actually good ngl

#

Waaaayyy better than the default maps

tepid agate
#

By default do you mean before reworks or after reworks

#

Launch maps are probably better after they got their reworks

arctic grove
#

They arent

#

I mean after reworks

tepid agate
#

The best map that was introduced was Exposure... But I think because that was the first new content after the community was starving for more, also had something to do with it

arctic grove
#

Exposure is fire

tepid agate
#

Funny that because the tornado was a selling point for 2042, but the map without it is one of if not the best lol

arctic grove
#

They overused that tornado so much bro

#

Like goddamn

tepid agate
#

Because the tornado isn't a death machine it's a transport device. Sucked the danger out of it

arctic grove
#

I think where the default maps failed is the extreme unbalance in positive and negative space. Clustered where they shouldn't be.. way too open where they shouldn't be.

arctic grove
tepid agate
#

In bf4 when the skyscraper or buildings were collapsing, of giant boulders running down the hill... You get the hell out of the way or you die

#

See the tornado.... Run into it to fly across the map

trail blaze
#

It probably would've benefitted from more extreme weather events as well such as Earthquakes, Hurricanes, and extreme flooding but it seems all we got is Naders and Sandstorms

arctic grove
#

BF4 had great map balancing

#

There were hotspots on the maps sure.

#

But they were scattered in the perfect areas

tepid agate
#

Well, let's just hope they nail it in the next product

arctic grove
#

Hopefully

#

I still want them to revisit the cops and robbers theme. It was actually pretty cool in hardline.

#

Just kinda sad the game got hated so much

pearl ridge
#

BF4's map balancing was shite.

#

BF1 is where they really nailed it.

I did the opposite

And it's solely because of those fucking helicopters.

arctic grove
#

I got the game at the height of all the hate it got just to see if it really was as bad as people said

tepid agate
arctic grove
#

I got it from a CD Key sales thing

#

For like $25

tepid agate
#

Some players paid up to $100 on launch

arctic grove
#

The game wouldn't even be that bad. Even if you took into account the lack of campaign, and the use of specialists, and most of the maps. It's just the game breaking bugs that still exist that kill it for me.

tepid agate
#

They made a lot of bad decisions with 2042 but atleast they try to amend it by fixing empty launch maps and putting classes back in the game

arctic grove
#

True

limber orbit
#

I bought the gold edition cus paying 20 euros I think more for the ultimate straight wasn't worth it for some ugly skins lol

arctic grove
#

The devs get so much hate for it but goddamn they are hard working.

tepid agate
arctic grove
#

I find it funny that people say "this isn't battlefield" as if that's the main argument against the game.

limber orbit
#

I respect them for just trying something new tbh

arctic grove
#

Like I mean

#

With the exception of a campaign. Everything that makes battlefield, battlefield.. still pretty much is present

tepid agate
arctic grove
#

Even in practice, it's really cool. The bugs and poor optimization just kill it

tepid agate
arctic grove
#

Hardline was the last BF campaign I played.

tepid agate
#

I probably put more multiplayer hours into bf4 and bf1

arctic grove
#

BF1 and BFV just seemed so detatched from the traditional stories.

#

in how they functioned* at least

limber orbit
#

Well it was just war stories

tepid agate
#

BF1 was amazing.

limber orbit
#

Again something different

arctic grove
#

For sure. I just didnt care for the campaign though

#

Then again, campaigns never made or broke a game for me- especially in terms of battlefield.

tepid agate
#

Introduction of behemoths was so cool and the idea that specialists could exist (pick up items for elites) was cool too

arctic grove
tepid agate
#

But not every single character being a specialist lol

arctic grove
#

Also

limber orbit
#

Elite kits they were called

arctic grove
#

People say they removed specialists, or reworked how they function. Yet they seem to function the exact same way they did as on launch.

#

Don't really understand that

tepid agate
limber orbit
#

Battle pick up

#

I didn't mind them either

#

They didn't remove the specialists dunno why people would say that they just introduced classes again

tepid agate
#

Having limited elites gave a controlled chaos. Having unlimited elites gave chaos lol

arctic grove
#

Also kind of weird thing

#

I dont really like the weapon tuning

#

Like, in person

#

Mid match type thing

#

Feels broken

limber orbit
#

Oh the plus menu

arctic grove
#

Yes thats what it s called

limber orbit
#

Nah it's fine

arctic grove
#

I mean its cool

#

Just feels kind of off

#

Just a small complaint though lmao

limber orbit
#

I like it cus you don't have to die to change sights

arctic grove
#

True

limber orbit
#

That's what I mainly use it for

arctic grove
#

They need to add zeroing in scopes for snipers

limber orbit
#

Tbh sniping is easy in 2042

arctic grove
#

Im probably just a shit shot then.

#

Lmfao

limber orbit
#

Depends if you change sniper often lol

arctic grove
#

I just really liked the aspect of using your binos to find the distance, and then having to calibrate your scope. Just kind of added a different little playing field to how things worked.

limber orbit
#

But I get it since it was in bf4 and all why not still in the near future

arctic grove
#

Speaking of which

#

On Stranded, there's this weird invisible barrier that intercepts your shots and makes it impossible to shoot towards some parts of the map.

limber orbit
#

Where on the map?

arctic grove
#

Like, my shot will act like it hits an object mid air.

arctic grove
#

Can't remember specifically where

limber orbit
#

Inside the ship?

arctic grove
#

Nope

#

Outside

limber orbit
#

Hmm never encountered that

#

Rogue hitbox lol

arctic grove
#

Pretty much yeah lol

#

I know im just regurgitating old news but

#

The way BF4 handled the class and social system was the best.

#

Would love to see it return in the next battlefield

warm notch
#

The attachments options is really neat

#

I mean being in game and able to change

#

I don't know if that's new to 2042 but it is very useful

arctic grove
#

you mean the plus menu thing that pops up and you can just pop a different sight on?

warm notch
#

Yeah and barrels + other things

arctic grove
#

Yea

#

Thats new

#

Well, new as in, it was introduced for the first time with 2042 when it released

warm notch
#

Yea

arctic grove
#

It actually is really useful

#

And just cool in general

#

One of the few mechanics BF2042 added that I think should return

#

Jesus I can't type lately.

#

I will admit though all the NPCs that my lobbies get flooded with make for good target practice

It's not too hard to tell apart when you get used to it.

#

Players tend to glow.

#

Bots don't. Which leads them to blending in.

arctic grove
#

That is true i just dont really ever notice it

patent pivot
#

oh you'll notice the difference

#

bots generally lacks the sense of awareness

arctic grove
#

what im saying is

#

ive seen players

patent pivot
#

and have consistent movement

arctic grove
#

with less awareness than a bot

#

which is whats surprising

patent pivot
#

here's the thing

#

bots sucks at aiming

#

even on advanced difficulty

arctic grove
#

same thing

#

some players would make prime NPCs

patent pivot
#

hey

#

it's a gamble still

#

one player can alter their behaviors

#

people will always abuse meta

#

unlike bots

arctic grove
#

true

patent pivot
#

in all honesty

#

bots are crap in this game

arctic grove
#

oh yeah for sure

fresh lintel
#

Unless players go prone, or headglitch. Which then have fun finding out what is terrain and what is a human whos gonna kill you because you cant fucking see them.

arctic grove
#

LOL now I see how people are getting such high kill counts in this game

#

what's crazy is that the game isn't even dead, yet servers are filled almost entirely with bots sometimes.

#

That entire last match I had was about 50/50 AI and real players. For the ENTIRE match.

Also please god get rid of C5 from Assault. Lmao

Cant play a god damn tank well without a dedicated Mackay/Sundance squad jumping your ass every 30 seconds

what gamemode are you trying to play?

yeah

mhm

its going aight

#

No AI, so its worth

lunar finch

i hate the ai so much

i rather just have dead lobbies

arctic grove
#

for sure

#

nothing is more disappointing then getting into a lobby you think is full just to find out it's 2/3rds bots

#

Jesus

#

I hate the near-end of match music

#

Just earrape for a solid 4 minutes

#

Can't hear the game hardly

Are gamers smart?

I went from a lobby with all players to one thats 1/3rd AI??

On a week day

Doesn't even make sense if you put it that way

So yeah it does

arctic grove

It really doesn't considering its a cross platform game.

With thousands of people playing it lol

Does cross-platform mean no jobs?

#

What are you basing the active playerbase currently at night?

arctic grove
#

You'd be surprised that a large portion of the BF playerbase is teens with no jobs.

#

SteamDB alone says there's about 4000 online.

warm stirrup
#

Not a majority tho

arctic grove
#

Not even counting the other platforms.

arctic grove

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Either way, matchmaking is just awful in this game

next onyx
#

Interest for the game has died down massively since S5.

#

Since we are all encountering massive burnout.

arctic grove
#

Still terrible matchmaking

next onyx
#

And they haven't provided any ways to reduce it.
