Irish is fighting for Exodus
I mean he gave up his allegiance to the US so it’s not out of the question
nonsensical lore
Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s nonsensical
Problem is that now that the U.S is the antagonist it makes no sense for Irish to be in that side at all.
I understand it completely dreyfuss
I don’t understand quantum physics but that doesn’t mean it’s nonsensical
they can write whatever fan fiction nonsense they want, it still doesnt add up
No-Pats aren't just soldiers
No those are obviously soldiers
That family of four?
Secret spies for Russia
Obviously if stuff happens to a country in some way, refugees are going to happen
Sarcasm actually undermines your point, but go on.
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
EU has literally fallen too
Germany basically runs the EU so it makes sense that it'd just go kaplut after Germany

okay and the mercenary group known as exodus working for both factions still doesnt make sense
Do you not understand how mercenaries work?
Even mercenaries choose the side that pays more.
you do want your family fed or whatever the us dude says at the start of renewal
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
I love how you're setting up and knocking down your own argument without participating in the discussion at large.
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?
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.
Up until S4 we weren’t even sure if Oz was someone to side with
2042 lore sounds like a bad fanfic
okay but now they revealed he's the good guy and we're all saved!
ozzians xD
I wouldn’t call him a good guy
and we live happily forever in new Oz land
No one named Oz is good
So he's the bad guy whos the good guy whos actually the bad guy!
Also im suprised despite all the chaos and Econimic downfall The UN is nowhere to be found or mentioned
what a wild twist they have for us for season 7
Some people just want to watch the world burn backwards
The Wizard of Oz 2042

Just like the game and DICE
you can be the defacto "good guy" but still be shitty
The friend of my enemy is sometimes my friend, but is mostly just iraq
or maybe he's just a person with goals and motives and it's not all black and white
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
It's like China building hospitals in Africa, sure they're China but they sure didn't have those hospitals before
Namaqualand
yea i couldnt remember the name
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
he's the least shitty option out of the 3
But when word gets out that one of those super powers caused a worldwide blackout
And that superpower is now trying to kill us
it was only the US tho
the Russians barely have any relevance to the plot other than setting up the initial conflict
2042 lore
Yeah Russia was kinda forgotten in this
Well
The chat has died down
I like all of you a little less than before
ok
rude
China is purely interested in debt trapping those nations and making them dependent on them

real
Also there are apparently 1.2 billion no-pats
yup
".mov" file
Just repost the link so we can have the video pls
The urge to explain why Russia having more than 2 functioning t14s is black magic
That would be some scary shit tho, near future warfare is crazy
supposedly
I think IVAS allows soldiers to shoot pretty much from behind cover
but the turret looks more like a Merkava or Leopard
It does say "still in it's prime" so it's probably just a regular Abrams
also
I always thought Israel was gonna be a faction in 2042 cause the m1a5 turret looks just like a merkava
I think those actually exist rn
Abram X firing dense as fuck uranium shells.
M1a2 sep v4
that doesn't count
Well it's the closest.
Probably just fatal flaw with the a3 and a4.
abrams x is just a concept still
Also the T-28 in 2042 is just the T-14 but DICE did a goofy for some reason
that's still an A2 at the end of the day
just with 50 bajillion upgrades and updates
True. I got the v4 mixed up
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
t28 because the future
let's just say that they finally worked out the kinks after 22 or so years

boom
done
lore explanation complete
Eh they can only really have 2 at any given time so unlikely
Anybody else not getting assists with lis rockets or just me?
I honestly wonder where Russia might be in 20 yrs. They’re still dealing with brain drain from when the ussr collapsed
IRL
its only getting worse
Russia wouldn’t probably exist by then
Honestly the US might outlive Russia at this rate
I’m expecting Russia to do a China and form into smaller micro states that fight amongst themselves
tbh PoD happened in 2014 so i would say that they managed to actually somewhat get their shit together by this point
US issues are mainly domestic politics but I doubt it’d be some civil war type shet
Clearly in this timeline Russia is actually a competent power
Impossible
my headcanon is that after BF4 the CCP is dead and the ROC came back to power on the mainland and established the Neo-Republic of China
Honestly china collapsing would fuck up the global economy as much as I hate the CCP
How come when I play in 2042 air superiority there are more than 4 Felons in the sky
We gotta get our gpus man
BF4 honestly already did that
so...

Doesn’t [REDACTED] make GPUs? Not China?
Semiconductors yea
Ah
2042 is just GFL AU lore but with worse writing

so much potential that got kneecapped so hard
Ikr
Next battlefield should just be like mid 2020s/30s with no specialists and kinda lay the framework with the campaign n stuff
honestly if they just did a redo of 2042 that'd be good enough for me
Battlefield 4.5

That’s basically what I would like too
I like the 2042 theme just wish it was done a bit differently
No-Pats should've just been something in the background and not at the forefront
No pats better justified customization to make a unique character anyways rather than specialists imo
broo 2042 campaign wouldve absolutely slappeddd
For sure
tbh they should've just went the way WW3 did with their customization
i can just picture a scripted event with some crazy natural hazard
the way they did customization in that was actually good
i wish we had earthquakes or volcanoes or sumn
like some tsunami wouldve gone so hard
have you seen what this one artist did for their fanconcepts?
i did
i just realized
Destroyed a full mav with c5 didnt counted for the weekly mission... okay then... is there anything working properly in this game?
NVGS have never been in a bf
Hardline had them
me seeing no use for FLIRs in BF4 cause smoke always worked for enemies for some reason
ho i can play air superiority
i played HL but very very very very little
anyone else not able to connect to ea servers right now?
you dont need nvg in this game
i just want a night map goddammit lol
You guys talking about NVGs and i just want to be able to cook my frag nades.... its unbeliavable that we cant...
i want a reason to use flashlights on my guns
Wait we can’t?
only reason atm is to "blind" the enemy
Damn
Same for suppressors
and tbh that just makes you a target
Nope
im fine with that since the regular nade is a mini nuke
I rather them to reduce the goddamn 400m radius and damage and give us the option to cook it
What are the best guns i can use? I keep getting shit on i suck
MCS 800
Lol
And gvt
Gvt and mcs 800 are good

cruel and unusal punishment
Never
For real tho use any AR you like
Avancys
It doesnt help that my game runs like shit
Good
It was fine yesterday and today i keep getting orange squares top left of my screen
So I just nearly gave myself a heart attack
Well you should probably change the pfp too 
I went to my Xbox to go play some 2042 with a friend
I even asked them if it was fine to
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
That akward moment where kaleidoscope needs a rework.
why
A1 and A2 is almost flat
rerework?
well the rework isnt out yet
Reeeeework
they really didnt like....do much to the A side did they on kale?
No i mean kaleidoscope. Re-rework
he was talking to me there cus i most deff mixed the two up
Ah fair enough
worst map.
Best Map
They removed a few smaller sectors
Like G and C
This 8,000 blasco is going to take foreverrrr
8000 what?
Could be worse.. you could be tier 1 Lis and not getting destroyed vehicles assists
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
Vale
aww yeah 25 damage done with the AT nade, fuck yeah best thing ever
But she says with B
but that doesn't mean anything in spanish
Vale is OK and sounds almost the same
I know that
Are the servers down or something? Can't seem to connect to any game
Nope im playing
Everything is empty. Even the portal servers are showing 0 players 😕
is rush xl 124 rush?
Apparently 
discord is always down
Wth is going on
down to clown
2077 one is also down
Discord is on fire 
Discord moment
it does this like once a month
Okay now my game is asking for update. I try to update it. It says finalizing and then asks me to update again
How shall we celebrate?
We light our own fire
We didn't start the fire
Im pretty sure the suppressors on the g36 are not working properly
I wish there was a separate record stat for dog-tags taken in a match
probably not 
Definitely not
Definitely yes, because then you couldnt find a match therefore no teammates at all, so no bad teammates either.

why is this season obessed with gernade dmg missions
not everyone stand still to get hit with it💀

best sniper for conquest?
SWS for everything
i like the gol magnum
but if you're being one of those silly goofs that shoots at 500m use rorsch
I will never understand conquest
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.
Thanks, captain.
Is there something specific you don't understand?
The fun and logic of it... i mean you kill a guy he gon spawn behind you ...
Being able to approach objectives from multiple angles is generally considered a positive of the mode.
The beauty of conquest is effectively the fact that it’s open world battlefield
Absolutely 0% of the map is blocked off outside of spawns
Frontlines will always be the best battlefield game mode
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
the good maps dont play like that
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
Junik may disapprove of the concept of backcapping.
but 2042's maps are definitely too big and open, they have very little natural flow
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
Bring back the bf4 preview camera!
I think the map reworks have made a lot of the 128 CQ layouts much better
Manifest and Renewal are the weakest ones
agreed
Every time they update the maps, a new map becomes the weakest.
I have thought the reworks have been great
tbh with you I think Kaledoscope could do with another pass, as it was the irst one
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
I don't remember the previous version, that's for sure.
Oh right, they added all that junk that's hard to drive over.
I feel like, Kaledoscope could use a better expanded..Metro system of sorts haha
The problem with Kaleidoscope is that in some areas you wouldn’t have any clue that the map has changed
like if the A sector was an underground Mall and the riverfront went all the way up to the server acility
kaleido and manifest are really bad maps
I always believed Kaleidoscope could have a cool blackout Levolution
I like the new military areas, and the changes they made around the scrapers
I think the problem is the 128p.. and maps.. @fervent rose is right.. the flow is weird...
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
there's very very little predictability in 128 conquest
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
I would kinda like i going forward, they go back to 64p, but keep the bot stuff and do a titanfall sort of thing
That's the joy of conquest in my opinion. Not predictable.
Have events on the map where you get bots spawning in
Exactly.. you are either alone in a point.. or completely surrounded and pinned almost of the time
but conquest in other games IS predictable
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
So why do you play conquest, Junik?
Breakthrough servers are empty
a good squad or 2 can swing a conquest game really wildly
The only valid prediction you can have is that all of the objectives on the map will be attacked at some point
Ah, yeah, it is the most popular mode this is true.
like my friends and I may have won an entire match for our team when we back took some sectors without the enemy noticing
okay well thats just wrong, tons of the smaller/medium maps have very predictable flow
then the ticket bleed did the rest
Except those maps are usually built for that kind of flow
Still mad they removed the death vs ticket bleed stats on the scoreboard.
right and 2042 maps arent really built for anything, they just threw stuff together on giant spaces
I’m not surprised when there’s a stalemate in Locker or Underground because the devs designed it like that
was a nice eature
That no one, not one person, asked to be removed.
That was on purpose? I thought it was a bug
Also that doesn’t mean the 2042 maps don’t have a flow. Renewal is ironically the best example
Loker, Metro and to a lesser extend Underground, were just meat grinders unless you could swing around and pincer the etam at C flag
No idea, but it happened.
i'm not talking about that level of predictability. more like how Provence in bfv flows
If it was on purpose they never included it in the patch notes. Typical DICE.
I mean….
D and E are largely just tank battlegrounds
2042 it's just random as fuck compared to the medium sized maps of bf1/bfv
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
Here’s the idea behind recent conquest maps
Both teams race towards the middle and force a stalemate
And flanking is usually uncommon
Yes but that is because that layout works
which is very much a run to the middle and smash into each other
Let’s look at Al Sundan
Spearhead is an excellent map
There is no middle point on Al Sundan
let us all raise a glass to spearhead haha
The entire map is too big for it
seriously i love that map
Al Sundan was only really fun in frontlines
Spearhead suffers from being too narrow.
And who decided only one side should get big buildings to hide behind, wtf?
the narrowness can add to it at times, you have to do some mad stuff to break through unless in a vehicle
The buildings should be B and D.
&air vehicle
Yeah the Russia gimmes are kinda bleh
But here’s the thing
tons of conquest maps are very imbalanced like that
The US gimmes are easier to take
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
H E L I C O P T E R H E L I C O P T E R
you can multi grapple up as mackay in a specific spot or yea, heli up
I do tire of people using air taxis.
we all know there can be rouns where you have the ditch pilots and none available
Honestly my best strat is grab a hind and just sit on the E1 roof
was atually trying to figure that one out tonight haha
You have excellent cover from the ground
And players are going to spawn on you regardless
Oh I know, its not that big an issue, but sometimes you just want to get up there and knife a camper
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
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
Still mad they axed the ice tunnels.
Eh
on Breakaway?
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
Yeah they were planned but cut before the remake was released
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
ah damn that would of been cool
I kinda wish they kept the big dumb observatory in too somehow
move it closer or something
Move the observatory mountain north of b
It would’ve been really funny if DICE included a frozen Tauntaun in Breakaway
B?
But nah we get Meg
that the one down as you elave the glacier?
Then people can duke it out from the observatory to the ice rig
sorry ive been playign a lot of CQ64 recently, flag layouts all over the place
Sorry to hear that.
B is the valley at the bottom of the snow road
Caspian is so... Boring. I wish it had the wall like in bf4, but no, they remastered the bf3 version.
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
The entire interior of the mountain complex! What a waste.
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
caspian was such a lame choice to remake for the 2nd time
At least they have their heads screwed on gameplay wise atm, fair play on the turnaround
I would have been happy to wait another year for bf2042 to release.. Damnit EA.
its an open map so, the engine limitations at the start of release it could get around them
on the bright sie
they have taken feedback really well on this one
.... ehh
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
meow
ALso probably unpopular opinion, but I like the specialist sub class roles
within the class system they feel great
I never minded the specialists.
the classs system has been busted for ages
Not a fan of cosmetics, but you can't fight em.
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
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
They could have sold twice as many cosmetics. Buy skins for US and for Russia!
real funny to repair tool soemone to death in TDM haha
why do you think it has no value in breakthrough???
EXACTLY
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
its map specific
if you get a map like. stranded its no point to use engineer
or reclaimed
okay you picked the one infantry only map
or flashpoint
flashpoint and reclaimed repairs are just as good as any
renewal too.. but not really
Ah Stranded if you take the desert side hill
take that with a TOR or something
repair tool is useful for sure
and manifest too
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
its like impossible to predict the chip damage you'll encounter on manifest, repairs are very valuable
that map is random as hell for ground vehicles
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
what r best attachments for the gew
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
Laser for QC
stnr laser imo
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
people actually like 124 rush?
no
monkey rbain activation go brrr
seriously.. its just so basic with a lot of people in one area
i thought that's why people wanted meat grinder maps
Oh dear.
easy first sector hold
noy fun when people jsut spam explosives the whole match💀
TBH his passive makes the screen get all weird
You can disable that.
It’s like someone deep fried my screen
I'm used to the action.
his passive is heal after kill right?
its not bad, but its just his special gun thing i suck at
It's odd.
dont get how to really use it
i get its aoe but it jsut feels inefficient
Imagine a cube and you lock onto it with the XM. It'll blow up around it.
Left right above.
yeah, best not direct im pretty sure
As soon as you ADS or press the lock on button on desired cover it'll "lock on"
and thats where it says switch to lock on burst?
it also can dumbfire which is less effective, but yea ads auto locks on or you can manually reset it whenever you want with fire mode button
I killed someone like that today with the XM37 lmao
And I like the XM37, its stupid and once you figure out how to use it
Cover becomes a funny little meme joke
guy at 98m behind cover? BOP BOP BOP
They need to reduce its damage.
balanced
Damage, range and recharge. It's still overtuned as hell.
just found out about the new podcast episode, do they know nobody did the easter eggs except a handful of addicts in bfee?
IDK
I don't even know how to do any easter egg lmao
theres guides for them but its not really worth the effort
I mean occasionally the cruise missile will happen on Spearhead
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone spawn in the tornado on Renewal
Like maybe if they gave you or the whole server a emblem or something i'd go out of my way to do em
But so far the only Easter egg ive seen was the Borg Cube map with the missile
Was the weapon balance dev in charge of nerfing the RM doing EEs all through s4 so he didnt have time? 
i would accuse him of just being very unaware in general
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
outdated info
This was before the nerf
Best gun is rpt-31
acwr is also disgusting right now
Man just playin the game regularly is kinda boring
Dodging bullets going from cover to cover with an fully automatic high rpm weapon going 40-6 is just not that fun
But going 10-13 with the GVT
now that's something
Sizable fax detected
I like ghost maker tbh first game a crossbow has been fun for me
Vcar is more fun than just holding down a button and watching things melt
Vcar is single shot tho??
lies, the spread is so bad
Oh I ment than*
For me right now, there is nothing more fun than Dozer bashing people
Ok ok 👍
Le bonk
It’s funny because you can clearly tell who has dealt with dozers and who hasn’t
It's good in one specific case:
You're within 50-75m
The enemy doesn't know you're there
You have the 5x scope
You can hit headshots
The newer players will just walk backwards looking at you like you’re a weeping Angel
What I don't like is when your trying to back up then some overly confident guy using a short barrel starts charging at you and tries to jump slide you
Yeah but then they crouch
but the other snipers can do that too and dont suck outside of that specific range
If a dozer player is aware they will find a way to get you
Plus payday 2 quotes
I really hope Payday 3 has some good police lines
Payday
Best way to play dozer is
NTW-50
SPH
What a terrible game imo sorry lads
That’s some quality bait
It also might have a battlepass
A co op game
Wit no pvp
Battlepass
Eh
Why
IDK
Gameplay will probably be good
Bt the monetisation might not be
Imagine making a shooter on an engine designed for racing games
That just makes it more based
The stealth is pure memes
Then having the driving parts be absolute dog
The pure goofiness of Payday is why it’s so fun
And the whole concept of the game is buying more guns to fight zombies with ranged weapons
i never cared much for it either
DICE should add the Mexican dozer from the PD2 Mexico missions as a skin
yeah but the other snipers don't have quick actions
but i'm heavily bored by pve shooters
I’m going to start doing the MW22 thing where anytime I get a highlight as Dozer I’m going to say “Mexican Special Forces”
With the accent
I will never understand why they changed the lever action sound
Not the firing sound
The sound of the lever
It went from how it should sound to a shotgun
Is there a gold camp for the m416?
No.
Now what is a gold clamp
Got a hackusation let's fucking go

I stg if DICE doesn’t add a gold Tiger camo for the BFP somewhere in the future there will be hell to pay

ironically, I fully stumbled on the play too, missing so many shots. But it was against a 'clan' of players so I guess I shouldn't be surprised I 1v3d them
You ever run into the AOD clan?
Because we don’t have platoons in 2042
These users have put the initials AOD at the beginning of their usernames
I run into AOD a lot, I still run into players that have prefixes in their name like LRRP, although a good portion of their players don't use the LRRP prefix
Hosting a 128 player payload mode all week if anyone's interested
AOD is a huge clan
Server is called Payload XL
why are the bp challenges so obnoxious this season
I know it’s like do 5000 damage with grenades like let me just destroy vehicles in peace 🫠
Is Dragons Breath ammo in 2042? 🧐
it isnt
Just rewatched the Dragons Breath scene from John Wick 4. So cool
isnt coming, already asked alex
Ah ok
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.
They would never have time though. They spent many seasons repairing the launch condition for multiplayer.
I think this season they would have finished the launch condition because they are dropping the hourglass rework
i must've missed the patch notes where once a match one team is required to stop ptfo and play tdm at spawn
hannah is from the BF4 campaign
Oh well yeah, though I should've clarified that it would've been nice to have one with the launch of the game but yeah, didn't turn out that way and even if they did have the time I doubt we would get one, it's just weird to mention some of these characters who we never see or hear.
Well the characters all go back to bf4 but yeah, would have been cool for a campaign but they had no time to make one
Yeah I know that
but I meant like people like this one guy, I don't remember how to spell his name but he was a Dr. lol, it wasn't Falck, but iirc it did start with a F.
First time I've seen Hannah mentioned in the game
I think some of the names have prolly been mentioned in the easter egg stuff which the casual player don't go for
So you gotta search the web for it
and shit, I probably need to do that, I never took interest into them, gonna check em out 
lol
I thought there were romours of the next title being campaign only 🧐
That would be a hilarious way to torpedo their product.
watch it have aliens
I heard it a while back but we'll just have to wait and see
Lol
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?
i want to see hardline revisted
I think people still play it
I just wanna shoot some guns and drive some tanks
yeah the 9 people who play it
would be interesting ngl 
it was overly hated
Maybe more play it than bf4
Nah people are so high on bf4 nostalgia if it was a drug it would be the best on the market
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
It was really fun to me
Ah well yeah bf4 shows more on steam than hardline
I actually enjoyed it more than BFV and BF1
Wonder if 2042 is higher than bfV yet 🧐
Im ngl.
I went back and played BF4..
Returned to 2042 immediately
As much as I trash talk 2042, i just cant bring myself to play any of the other battlefield games
I brought myself to play cod for the first time in 10 years instead 🤣
I stopped playing COD recently
I just do Dmz. More teamwork focused
Would rather play 2042, which is saying something
I went on 2042 some weeks ago to try the new map but stopped again
By default do you mean before reworks or after reworks
Launch maps are probably better after they got their reworks
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
Exposure is fire
Funny that because the tornado was a selling point for 2042, but the map without it is one of if not the best lol
Because the tornado isn't a death machine it's a transport device. Sucked the danger out of it
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.
Exactly.
which they have still yet to get right, but theyre better than when they started
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
That's another thing
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
BF4 had great map balancing
There were hotspots on the maps sure.
But they were scattered in the perfect areas
Well, let's just hope they nail it in the next product
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
DLC, default, or both?
I think the guy was only comparing to 2042
I hope so 🙏 I'ma still buy it regardless I guess, it's a tradition at this point for me
St Quentin Scar is the Battlefield map, as far as I'm concerned.
Idk
The collapse of 2042 at launch taught me not to preorder and wait on the next title. I will be patient. I promise lol
My favorite map in the entire series is either Caspian Border, Shanghai, or Dawnbreaker
I liked the Pacific storm
Yeah I may not preorder this time around
but let's hope where 2042 failed, the next will succeed and thrive 
I take this back, now that I think of it. BF1 and Hardline had some amazing maps as well.
Nah you gon pre order games still
I hope so
I did the opposite
I consider Shanghai to be damn near unplayable.
I won't I promise lol
And it's solely because of those fucking helicopters.
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
Was it already on discount? Lol
Some players paid up to $100 on launch
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.
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
True
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
The devs get so much hate for it but goddamn they are hard working.
Yeah just hope they have learnt from there mistakes when they release the next title. If they remove classes again omg backlash will be real
I find it funny that people say "this isn't battlefield" as if that's the main argument against the game.
I respect them for just trying something new tbh
Like I mean
With the exception of a campaign. Everything that makes battlefield, battlefield.. still pretty much is present
It was a brave decision but ultimately the wrong one. Everyone experiments at some point to improve the product
The idea is really cool
Even in practice, it's really cool. The bugs and poor optimization just kill it
Removing campaign made me believe multiplayer would be even better lol
Hardline was the last BF campaign I played.
I probably put more multiplayer hours into bf4 and bf1
BF1 and BFV just seemed so detatched from the traditional stories.
in how they functioned* at least
Well it was just war stories
BF1 was amazing.
Again something different
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.
Introduction of behemoths was so cool and the idea that specialists could exist (pick up items for elites) was cool too
I take this back, COD Vanguards campaign was hot garbage
But not every single character being a specialist lol
Also
Elite kits they were called
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
Yeah that idea worked for me. Just not every character having an elite kit.
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
lmao yeah
Having limited elites gave a controlled chaos. Having unlimited elites gave chaos lol
Also kind of weird thing
I dont really like the weapon tuning
Like, in person
Mid match type thing
Feels broken
Oh the plus menu
Yes thats what it s called
Nah it's fine
I like it cus you don't have to die to change sights
True
That's what I mainly use it for
They need to add zeroing in scopes for snipers
Tbh sniping is easy in 2042
Depends if you change sniper often lol
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.
But I get it since it was in bf4 and all why not still in the near future
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.
Where on the map?
Like, my shot will act like it hits an object mid air.
Down the middle section. Not sure if it was just a server glitch, but it was happening to me earlier.
Can't remember specifically where
Inside the ship?
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
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
you mean the plus menu thing that pops up and you can just pop a different sight on?
Yeah and barrels + other things
Yea
Thats new
Well, new as in, it was introduced for the first time with 2042 when it released
Yea
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
too bad they're basic as shit
whats crazy is that ill be shooting at what i think is an NPC
then ill kill it and see its a real player
like holy shit
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.
That is true i just dont really ever notice it
and have consistent movement
hey
it's a gamble still
one player can alter their behaviors
people will always abuse meta
unlike bots

true
oh yeah for sure
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.
youd think theyd be better considering theyre using them as a place holder for regular players
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
Almost 5000 people online on Steam playing BF2042 yet I keep getting put in the same AI match again and again
Alright, try number 4

well the THOUGHT is fucking killing me
what gamemode are you trying to play?
Conquest 128
ah usually its BT lobbies that are to find a game for when its late
ima just play out the rest of this match
Breakthrough?
yeah
might as well
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?
BRO
I went from a lobby with all players to one thats 1/3rd AI??
How does this even happen
dead servers
Doesn't even make sense if you put it that way
It really doesn't considering its a cross platform game.
With thousands of people playing it lol
Does cross-platform mean no jobs?
Are you basing this solely off of jobs.
It is 44 wtf !
B/c thousands of players are still online. All im saying .
What are you basing the active playerbase currently at night?
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.
Not a majority tho
Not even counting the other platforms.
https://steamdb.info/app/1517290/ 4500-ish online rn.
And that's just for Steam, this is a crossplatform game.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Either way, matchmaking is just awful in this game
Interest for the game has died down massively since S5.
Since we are all encountering massive burnout.
Still terrible matchmaking
And they haven't provided any ways to reduce it.
