[opal compass]

Who ghost pinged me

[next onyx]

Most likely with the hotfix.

[radiant prism]

Perfect

Can they fix the close range hitreg though

[royal swan]

Ghost ping?

[radiant prism]

Way too often I’ll try to hit an enemy right in front of me and have no joy

[royal swan]

Is it just me or do almost every dozer I encounter has no perception

The biggest reason they die alot

They rush in targeted on the people in front of them without caring about the people on their sides

[trail prawn]

Isn't that almost every casual player ever?

Tunnel visioned on the guy they see first

[radiant prism]

Nah that’s probably pretty close to true

[magic bloom]

Frrr

[radiant prism]

Smart dozer is learning how to manage multiple enemies

[royal swan]

It sometimes works, I see them wipe a bunch of people

But eventually there's that one guy who gets them

[radiant prism]

That’s inattentive squadmates then

[royal swan]

But mostly they get no chance against the corner camper that is out of the dozers tunnel vision

[magic bloom]

I’ve been enjoying angel recently

Just trying to get him T1

[leaden zenith]

I really hope the devs make this Control mode a permanant mode cause I'm really enjoying it

[royal swan]

It may be a recurring portal mode in the future

[radiant prism]

Control is pretty fun yeah

I like how it slowly pushes the lobby into one place

[magic bloom]

Haven’t played it yet

[leaden zenith]

And add more maps to the Control mode roster

[royal swan]

I probably never will

On vacation

[radiant prism]

Creates some really fun two point fights, especially that one on Reclaimed

I wish there were more specialist skins though, theres literally only one :(

And I don’t even like the Blasco one that much

[magic bloom]

It’s pretty cool though

[royal swan]

Just remembered, the most cheesy way to kill a crouched shield dozer is distance and zain

[radiant prism]

I wish they’d do something like S3 with the battle for nordvik, multiple weeks, multiple modes, and a bunch of themed factional skins for both sides

[royal swan]

You may have explosive damage reduced but you still take damage you sumabitch

[radiant prism]

Tells the story way better too, I can’t really tell what’s going on with Arkangel besides them somehow being the dark market on steroids

[magic bloom]

Yeah

[radiant prism]

That’s actually incendiary

Incendiary is a fail safe against dozer

Smart teams I encounter almost always swap to incendiaries once they recognize my pushes

[magic bloom]

The fire damage is real.

[royal swan]

Fire damage is easy to handle if you understand fire damage

[real willow]

Spearhead 24/7 would be nice

[radiant prism]

Though there’s a weird fire bug I’ve encountered where after the effect ends you suddenly take like 20HP of damage instantly

[royal swan]

Also aim for the feet

They are slow when crouched and you have the speed

When they run, take the chance

[radiant prism]

Sliding as dozer is so powerful

[royal swan]

I got good counter dozer experience from all of those defending matches in exposure

Cqc plus biased map design = desperate dozers

And the defending corner campers LOVE their little pushes

Also Zain defenders

[magic bloom]

I finally got Zain T1 after pushing it off for so long

[limber orbit]

Gecc my fellow dozer main whats the verdict on the decrease in shield range?

[magic bloom]

Yes we must know

[radiant prism]

Much needed

The range was indeed too long and I’ve been saying so for a while

I just hope they improve his close range hitreg

[limber orbit]

indeed

[magic bloom]

They should really give angel back his ability to throw armor

He needs something

[mighty holly]

The ability to throw chug jugs

[magic bloom]

Real

[calm bison]

FlexLanes is so annoying to fight

[hybrid totem]

Oh the streamer who monopolizes the nightbird while his buddy monopolizes the wildcat?

At least they kind of act nice while making the game unfun.

[dapper river]

nightbird are ez lol, just keep them constantly hacked and soflamed and eventually someone with a brain and a rocket launcher is gonna lock on. They don't have to kill them, it's about denying their ability to play the game :)

[hybrid totem]

Relying on someone with a brain to exist in battlefield is a losing battle.

[dapper river]

again, you don't have to kill an air vehicle, just make sure they're constantly in the loop of popping flares, then needing to take cover while they recharge, then getting immediately locked and popping flares again, rinse and repeat

[calm bison]

Really hard to shoot at him with a jet

and he follows you

[hybrid totem]

Yes, because I like spending my entire game doing nothing but suppressing one player on the enemy team.

[calm bison]

It’s like a killer bee

[hybrid totem]

And then doing it again the next game because they shuffle into the same server as me.

[calm bison]

Where’s cope_more when you need him

[dapper river]

one infantry suppresses one vehicle type that can carry up to 5 and be a mobile spawner, yeah I'd say that's a pretty fair trade

it's all about being a team player

[hybrid totem]

People like FlexLanes are why I advocate for high level ssbm.

[dapper river]

he and his BF4- goonies seem like a fun bunch, too bad they mainly play conquest so I've never run into them haha

[calm bison]

I’ve encountered his friend BUFFTHEHIND in a few games

Really fun to dogfight

[shrewd pond]

Why can we not use portal vehicles in all out warfare?

A few more jets and helis would be more fun

[pearl ridge]

Because, much like everything else, they’re not balanced for it

[shrewd pond]

Ok

Also when are we getting a new jet?

[chilly jacinth]

event mode aint fun

who couldve ever seen this coming

[fickle wharf]

never

f 35 shits on the felon

[pearl ridge]

How the fuck do you even unlock the rocket pods for fighters when they need infantry kills

This thing can’t even scratch infantry

[shrewd pond]

I took out vehicles

It worked for me

[chilly jacinth]

kill infantry

and kill vehicles

[hybrid totem]

I don't recall needing to kill infantry for rocket pods.

[pearl ridge]

20mm is surprisingly ineffective against people…

[chilly jacinth]

skill issue

as usual

[pearl ridge]

Fuck off

[hybrid totem]

Asshole take. As usual.

[shrewd pond]

Its the same with 30mm

[chilly jacinth]

its not a take

[pearl ridge]

I could strafe with reasonable effectiveness in Bfv with machine guns alone

[chilly jacinth]

its a simple fact

[hybrid totem]

A "fact" that you did not need to express.

[pearl ridge]

Let’s see: infantry are very, very small. Maps are very, very large. And jets are very, very fast.

[hybrid totem]

And the reticle is very, very off.

[pearl ridge]

And even if the gun lands hits, it appears to do as much damage as a fucking SMG

At long range no less

[hybrid totem]

I've had better luck roadkilling snipers on top of buildings instead of shooting them in jets.

[pearl ridge]

This progression system is as bad as bf3 when it comes to making jets viable

We’re lucky they even come with flares out of the box

Let alone actually effective weapons.

[ebon pilot]

literal atomic bomb detonates on top of dozer

30 damage

[opal compass]

ping someone and delete the message

[pearl ridge]

Theoretically they’re supposed to be great against helicopters but that’s a pain in the ass too

[opal compass]

aka ghost ping

[pearl ridge]

Honestly fuck helicopters, return to planes only

[patent path]

it was me, I am sorry sir

[fathom crane]

Is any one else lagging like F all of a sudden? Never happened prior it's unbearable

[fickle wharf]

littlebird movement nerf when

[ebon pilot]

can we talk about how much this scope fucking sucks

it's so fucking big it's hiding a whole person

[fickle wharf]

uh smart my beloved

[kindred flint]

Issue of skill, look harder

[patent path]

it looks pretty tho

[pearl ridge]

And impact the streamer profits?

[wide shore]

Which skin is it for tho

[pearl ridge]

God forbid

[opal compass]

´what cat doin

[patent path]

bp skin for the avancys

[fickle wharf]

muh streamers

get a real job

[wide shore]

That skin is gas at least

[patent path]

meant to tell you to take your storm back to Germany because it's invading Poland right now

[fathom crane]

Even better make your money your employee and make it work for you

[opal compass]

my storm is already gone. thats a new one

[patent path]

yeah doy it gone to Poland

[opal compass]

the storm

freaking mcs

and wrong chat for that

[patent path]

yeah that's why I deleted

[ebon pilot]

no this is bigger than the normal 1.5x smart scope

the normal skin doesn't hide entire enemies 5m in front of you

[chilly jacinth]

dont use it

anything bigger than a red dot is close to useless on most guns

[ebon pilot]

close defense busted

current bp

yes

[patent path]

it looks fly, that's what matters

[hybrid totem]

What is c4?

So what is semtex?

[ebon pilot]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semtex

[runic maple]

Guys

[ebon pilot]

Guys

[hybrid totem]

I do believe semtex is closer to c4 than a sticky grenade.

[runic maple]

Im feeling lucky

And this clip proves it

https://www.xbox.com/play/media/KQXLUA9734

Ya

I feel like a weird ninja

[chilly jacinth]

bro is at 5 fov

cant even see infront of him

well there is

just no camo

[heavy lava]

We do have Sticky Grenade at home

It's called SPH launcher

[solar marten]

im surprised they havent done floods yet. They did it in bf4, imagine stormy weather and crashing waves on Orbital

[patent path]

they didn't deal with water at all in 2042

which is weird

[radiant prism]

There used to be swimmable water on kaleidoscope

But now it’s shallow enough to wade

[hybrid totem]

There used to be a reason for the hovercraft.

[quaint vector]

There used to be swimmable water on Breakaway...

Wait

What

[solar marten]

what about noshar canals

[radiant prism]

Or the MAV’s amphibious ability

[quaint vector]

🧊

[patent path]

climb buildings?

what a fun bug

[radiant prism]

No, the problem is that there’s too MUCH swimmable water

[hybrid totem]

Yeah now it's completely useless.

[quaint vector]

The problem is that the water is frozen...

[radiant prism]

Not for long

[quaint vector]

🌞 🧊 🧊

[vast matrix]

Anyone else get butt naked when they play BF?

[radiant prism]

no I just shoot up on heroin

[calm bison]

Personally I run a line of flavored sugar

And powdered Alfredo sauce

[tall egret]

So uhh, how do you counter a stealth heli duo team that just shits the emp onto your AA vehicle?

[wide shore]

RPG

[hearty ginkgo]

Cursed question

[tall egret]

Yeah that’s funny, i hit it with lis and apparently did no damage

[wide shore]

No, like an actual RPG or M5 recoilless.

[tall egret]

I don’t have the skill for that

[wide shore]

Lis’ rocket doesn’t one hit the stealth heli

Which is dumb. But it doesn’t

Awh come on it’s easy

RPG has faster velocity. Use that

[chilly jacinth]

it doesnt?

[tall egret]

Well i at least tried to damage it

[wide shore]

It feels like it does

[chilly jacinth]

so it doesnt

but it does

[wide shore]

Well, I haven’t tested it. It just seems like it does

[tall egret]

Shrödingers Lis rocket

[wide shore]

But I didn’t use the M5 much when they increased the speed on it. Cause I was trying to get Lis T1

So maybe I just wasn’t used to the new values

[chilly jacinth]

i remember one shotting stealth helis with Lis

so unless it has changed

it is a oneshot

[wide shore]

It has never one shot.

[chilly jacinth]

but ive literally done it

[hybrid totem]

It... definitely one shots both the nightbird and the stealth chopper.

[chilly jacinth]

[wide shore]

It does one shot the nightbird. I’ve never had it one shot the stealth heli. Unless it was damaged.

[hybrid totem]

...then it's not a one shot?

[tall egret]

I swear hitting helis with rockets doesn’t count half the time

[hybrid totem]

Except it is.

[chilly jacinth]

guess i gotta go test it

[wide shore]

I’ve definitely had many cases of hitting stealth helis dead on and just getting damage.

[hybrid totem]

You're not confusing them for attack choppers, right?

[wide shore]

No. I know the difference

[hybrid totem]

In which case your experience is outside the norm, for sure.

[wide shore]

This is a whole other problem

Though I guess it’s possible dusting has been an issue longer than I thought

[low timber]

There’s a spreadsheet with damage numbers of explosive weapons Vs ground/air vehicles

AT mine can ohk the super hind but does only 95 dmg to the LATV4

[tall egret]

I’ll just switch the server, no one in the team cared to fight it it seems

And i suck too much at vehicle combat to compete against it

[wide shore]

[tacit sphinx]

tbf if you can hit a hind with an AT mine you deserve the kill

[wide shore]

True and based

[low timber]

Condor takes only 94 though

[tall egret]

Also how tf do you guys fly helicopters, this is worse than the GTA helicopters controls the way the helicopter keeps fighting you to go back level flight

[chilly jacinth]

step 1:

dont

[arctic grove]

i play penis

[chilly jacinth]

step 2:

unbind all flight controls

[tall egret]

Well I’m tryinf to get vehicle kills somehow…

[arctic grove]

why play claw n hurt your hand when you have a penis

[chilly jacinth]

the game doesnt need more heli nerds

[solid gulch]

bro

[tall egret]

I liked flying helis in bf4, this feels trash

[solid gulch]

he is asking you how to

holy

shit

[chilly jacinth]

i made a perfect guide how to

not

[tall egret]

Oh wait “helicopter control assist”

[chilly jacinth]

[calm bison]

Step 1: Check the scoreboard for nightbird sweat streamers
Step 2: Verify that there are none on your team or the enemy team
Step 3: try your best to fly
Step 4; crash and give up in a public lobby
Step 5: practice in a co-op lobby

[solid gulch]

yes yu did

[tall egret]

Who tf wants an “assist” to keep you hovered when no input is applied, you’re actively fighting the helicopter while aiming

[solid gulch]

how to get good at anything: just practice

[tall egret]

I hate that advise

[calm bison]

Turn off assisted flying

[solid gulch]

you must follow that advice anyway

[tall egret]

Cause most of the times i need to know some kind of basics and tips and mechanics to know, just flying around aimlessly doesn’t get you anywhere

[solid gulch]

you can use cannon guns at first

cannons dont need precise aiming for to damage

[tall egret]

Oh my god without assisted flying its so much better

[tall egret]

Thank you

Yoooo i can actually aim this is awesome

Just wish i could turn off this weird input delay in tanks now

[calm condor]

Ea/dice should give all of us a public apology

The next bf better be lead by someone that actually likes and played battlefield

[fiery solar]

You play on controller?

[chilly jacinth]

dont hink any previous lead actually played the game tbh

[fiery solar]

Nah they use the game engine for their cinematics and think if the cinematic runs well the game should too

[tall egret]

Yeah but it’s the weird input the game put in, not my controllers fault

[fiery solar]

I was gonna say I have the same problem

I think they tried adding weight to the tank like you need to move hard on the joystick for it to move

[tall egret]

It’s so weird why they did that, it feels awful

[fiery solar]

No setting I change fixes it

[chilly jacinth]

probably a deadzone issue if youre on controller then

[tall egret]

I loved being a tanker in other battlefield titles but this one i really hate cause if it

[wide shore]

I play with assisted flight off, and un-inverted vertical aim

[tall egret]

Nice

[fiery solar]

I’ve gone through 2 controllers I tried it on my second one when it was new cause it had 0 stick drift and it still does it

[tall egret]

I didn’t know until 5 minutes ago they make assisted flying a default on setting which is awful

[fiery solar]

No matter how low the deadzone can go

[chilly jacinth]

you can adjust the deadzones

[fiery solar]

I know

What does assisted flying do btw

[wide shore]

I know some people like the invert for flying. And I don’t mind it in any other game really. But I can never get the rotation and tilting right with inverted vertical

[tall egret]

It’s literally a design choice from battlefield and not a controller issue

[torn veldt]

hello people, just recently started bf2042 and now i wanted to try the Rorsch but for some reason i cant get any damage with primary weapons on vehicles?

[tall egret]

Fight your inputs while you try to aim basically

It wants to keep your helicopter level when no inputs are put in

[chilly jacinth]

Use a gun with AP rounds

[tall egret]

It’s just an inconvenience

[chilly jacinth]

like the PKP or LCMG

[torn veldt]

well

didnt know theres other ammo lmao

[fiery solar]

wish they had the battlefield 5 or 1 ding sound effect option for killing someone

[hybrid totem]

You can also use underbarrel grenades, it counts toward that stat.

[chilly jacinth]

i think also the AP grenade launcher on the ak and scar also works

[fiery solar]

Definitely cause I never had an issue like this on past games on controller + mouse. And battlefield 5s tank movement in first person was smooth imo. Unnecessary feature

[arctic grove]

What week is season 5 right now?

[tall egret]

Actually i think if you just move the stick like 50 percent or so then it isn’t that bad

I just played as tank and did quite decent, also if you zoom in while aiming it gets rid of the aim delay as well

[tall egret]

Week 6 i think

Yup week 6

[arctic grove]

What, still no Hourglas rework and new content, thought that will be mid season

Well, thank you

[tall egret]

Last season the map rework came in with like 3 weeks left to the season or so, idk if that is the norm

Also wdym no new content theres a limited gamemode going on rn

[arctic grove]

I don't care about a damn game mode, talking about new content I meant new maps, guns etc. something that makes BF2042 worth playing again

[tall egret]

Bro…. There were literally new maps and guns at the beginning of the season

[arctic grove]

One map, 2 guns and a few gadgets.. thats too less

[tall egret]

Well sucks for you then

[arctic grove]

Nah, got this game for free, I will continue playing BF4 until there is something new to 2042

[tall egret]

When you get a season every 3 months thats all you get, 1 map and a few guns, creating one map isn’t just a 1 week little project and thats it, if you want more maps they would have ti switch back ti DLC releases that take way more than just 3 months

[crisp dragon]

typical "idc about what you say, i wanna be mad"

[tall egret]

Okay cool have fun there then

[tall egret]

Typical

[arctic grove]

No need for that mate. I was just telling my opinion

[tall egret]

You give an argument and it goes through one ear and leaves the other

[arctic grove]

[calm bison]

Who do you have more respect for?
Person with nightbird T1’d
Or
Person with both jets T1’d

[tall egret]

Idk maybe jets?

Cause jet combat takes a lot of skill i think

[hybrid totem]

I respect no one who runs nightbird.

[shrewd pond]

We have a lack of jets compared to battlefield 4 and 3

Well for all out warfare atleast

[karmic egret]

Eh in 2042 the us would only be using one jet the F35

[hybrid totem]

Then give us better loadouts for it.

[calm bison]

The thing is the F-35 is kind of the perfect jet in AOW

It’s got a smaller profile compared to the felon

It’s got VTOL to hodge behind buildings

And given the weapons packages it’s got equipped

The thing is deadly

The felon has similar pros but it’s much larger and doesn’t have a VTOL

The F-35 also has better skins

[hybrid totem]

Still want an attack jet package for both jets.

[calm bison]

Personally I think they should add 30mm HE rounds to both jets

The accuracy is better with bursts

Does little vehicle damage

[hybrid totem]

In fact they need to expand the loadout options for pretty much every vehicle.

[calm bison]

And overheats quickly if you lean on the trigger too much

[hybrid totem]

But people complain about "no new guns"

[calm bison]

Here’s what I say

Add the Raptor and Checkmate

Make the Panther and Checkmate multi role fighters

They get more ground attack stuff

The Raptor and felon maintain stealth stuff

But have a slower lock-on time

They do not get rocket pods

[frigid epoch]

yoo since when has there been a Tuk-Tuk mastery? 800 kills/assists for t1 lmao

[still vault]

Since release

[frigid epoch]

damn, just saw this now

[still vault]

Gotta make some almost impossible ones for the grinders 😄

[frigid epoch]

yeah lol. thats one ive never seen anyone have

[solar marten]

So I can play the 2042 Xbox Series X version with my Xbox One account on my laptop, cloud gaming is magical

Hell you dont even need an Xbox

[hybrid totem]

sit in the tuk tuk with a soflam.

[still vault]

Don't think you will get many kills like that

[hybrid totem]

You just need assists.

[lunar finch]

im in love with the tor

[drowsy shuttle]

When is the wedding?

[lunar finch]

when i t1 it

[primal marten]

can someone explain to me how a assault rifle does more damage close range than an smg?

also fucking remove dozer from the game pleasew ty

[wide shore]

Well, ARs have a stronger headshot multiplier

[arctic grove]

ruTgr if you don';t know that then our answers wont help

[wide shore]

Which is why fast fire rate ARs like the AM40 are better at close range than SMGs

[arctic grove]

can you ban someone from the minecraft server so i could join the server is full@wide shore

[wide shore]

Is it really

It shouldn’t be

We increased cap recently

[drowsy rose]

Is control busted

I'm seeing people fucking tank shots

[wide shore]

They’re doing what

[hybrid totem]

Tanking shots.

Taking shots?

[wide shore]

I’m guessing the first one

[topaz field]

man this new game mode on valpo is superrrr fun nothing but chaos

[drowsy rose]

Like every shot feels like I'm dusting

[drowsy shuttle]

Discarded > renewal + kaleidoscope

[hybrid totem]

In square footage, or...?

Why does Hourglass, the largest map, not just eat the other 9?

[acoustic seal]

mandatory "play in vehicles or suffer" mode

and even being in vehicles is suffering since you have to fight the turret turn smoothing and rancid acceleration stats

[kindred flint]

what you want smooth shooting platforms like previous BFs?

[acoustic seal]

i'm told bf5 had working turrets, what happened to those?

[kindred flint]

devs forgot about bfv

[calm bison]

YES FINALLY

I GOT FUCKING ORBITAL

I’m so goddamn tired of Renewal and Hourglass

[lunar finch]

i spawn camped a nightbird all game !

[kindred flint]

Dude probably reporting you for harassment soo...see you in 2 weeks when the bans lifted

[royal swan]

I salute you 🫡

Sad I'm going to miss such a wonderful mode

But I don't think it's going to be as fun as my summer vacation

[drowsy shuttle]

Wonderful mode? They put frontlines in the game?

[royal swan]

Getting it from the majority of people I see

As I'm having a amazing summer vacation

[drowsy shuttle]

Enjoy it

Its better than battlefield

[royal swan]

Sure am, I know it's better than sitting at hours on end playing a videogame

[drowsy shuttle]

You got that right

[royal swan]

And I may or may not be a dick about it, rubbing it in.

[ancient peak]

Love all the meta chasers spamming assault 24/7

[calm bison]

Doing god’s work

[royal swan]

I think you deserve a summer vacation away from triple A videogames. Get some real fun

[karmic egret]

steam logo for 2042

is this DICE's fault or steam

[blazing terrace]

Yes

[karmic egret]

took my car in for a service

drive belt was on its way out my front tires are unroadworthy

[hybrid totem]

Looks like a specialist in front of the logo.

[blazing terrace]

What have you been doing to your car

[lunar finch]

not all heroes wear capes yk 😮‍💨

[wanton mural]

Sad, but please stay on topic.

[hybrid totem]

And more importantly what does it have to do wit hbf2042?

[blazing terrace]

His car could be a latv4

It could also be the tuk tuk the best 2042 vehicle

[drowsy shuttle]

I thought tuk tuk was a social network?

[wanton mural]

I'm super excited to play the game with my new PC

finna epic

[karmic egret]

its gonna run like shit

[drowsy shuttle]

Lol

[wanton mural]

Don't say that

I got an rx6700xt, I7 12700K and 32GB of ram

[karmic egret]

still gonna run like shit for those specs

[wide shore]

Underrated joke

[karmic egret]

ok so we are half way through season 5

so patch 5.2 should be out in two weeks

[lunar finch]

Frostbite engine ready to give you 40fps

[karmic egret]

on low settings

[wanton mural]

Nooo!

[sour cedar]

When da hell is that hourglass remake comin

[wanton mural]

I get 55 with my 9600k

[lunar finch]

2 or 3 weeks

[sour cedar]

I've gotten the original hourglass so many times

[wanton mural]

If only the maps didn't suck so they could make more maps

[sour cedar]

Right

But eh I'm happy they're sticking with the game instead of scrapping it

[wanton mural]

I am

[sour cedar]

But the maps still shoulda been good

[wanton mural]

But it'd be very like niceee if there were more maps

[sour cedar]

Oh yeah

[wanton mural]

Or port bf3 maps

[sour cedar]

They should just port the older maps

It'd be a little boring but it'd fill out the game more

[wanton mural]

Bf1, 5 and 4 would all have great maps

[sour cedar]

And tbh my favorite maps are the older ones, like bf3

[wanton mural]

I would love a parcel storm map

[sour cedar]

If they added boats yeah

They need boats

[patent pivot]

and game modes

I wanna see carrier Titan assault

[drowsy shuttle]

Fix the thermals dice fix the thermals dice fix the thermals dice

[sour cedar]

I'm not sure it would be a bad thing if they just updated this game for the next 5 years

Take whatever the next game is and just add it to this one

Like what destiny does, minus the $$$

[kindred flint]

7 ribbons left.. 1 match was enough today

[drowsy shuttle]

Hit reg issues and the crosshair is not aligned

[tacit sphinx]

yeah the 6x particularly has been bad since they came out

i think shoots a little to the left of the crosshair but it's also hard to correct for it because you don't really see the tracer in thermal view

[kindred flint]

feels like fair compensation for actually running a thermal

[calm bison]

Yeah some of them fly jets into signal towers

[strong snow]

I fly my jets into the ground like a man

[drowsy shuttle]

We are not the same

[hallow sierra]

speaking of flying im starting to get used to flying helis i can turn to a 180 now

now i just need to learn how to aim and do learn rolling

[hearty ginkgo]

Do you guys think Boris is inspired by the the heavy weapons guy from team fortress series?

Due to him being Russian and his deep voice

[kindred flint]

no, heavy is actually useful... boris is a waste of space on the screen selection

[hearty ginkgo]

Oh

I feel like Mackay is more into that

Guy thinks he’s a straight up comedian

[acoustic seal]

i've had 16 cups of coffee, it's all downhill from here

[hearty ginkgo]

Smirking faces

[calm bison]

Mackay is the scout of 2042

Loud

[hybrid totem]

Are you talking mechanically or conceptually? Because Bmac only cares about the mechanics of it.

[calm bison]

Obnoxious

[hearty ginkgo]

Fr

It’s crazy to think that a lot of the soldiers in this game are toddlers in todays timeline if they were real people

I guess that explains the goofy and corny dialogues

[kindred flint]

Theyre worse than zoomers, confirmed

[hybrid totem]

...Younger people are worse than older people, you heard it here first folks.

[lunar finch]

[lunar finch]

thats me! hiii

[hearty ginkgo]

Yo same here

[drowsy shuttle]

Remove armor from the game dice...

[hallow sierra]

if only the pp2k i have more ammo

[drowsy shuttle]

Gotta love watching people running around with lmgs like if they are the k30 or pbx lol

Oh dice dice

God bless you

[odd cradle]

can somebody help with an error i get when launching the game plz

[hallow sierra]

tbh u rarely see ppl use the xm8 from what i seen

[livid tusk]

The new "control" gameplay blows! I wish they would have more imagination and also bring back more maps into the rotation - 11 years of maps and they cannot update some of the best from the past? Come on EA games, you can do better.

[drowsy shuttle]

No, i dont think they can

[solar marten]

@wide shore you lot are so sensitive, banning me over a school shooter joke

[wide shore]

Get over it

[solar marten]

Lmao, you have no power here.

[wide shore]

I am aware

[limber orbit]

Lol edgy

[fresh lintel]

I'm already cringing

[hybrid totem]

Are you chasing someone to another server?

[solar marten]

No, this was 6 months ago.

[hybrid totem]

...are you chasing someone to another server for something that happened 6 months ago?

[arctic grove]

this

[wide shore]

[arctic grove]

trying to find full quality version of that icon, anyone have it?

oh lol nvm, works perfectly

[boreal hearth]

What are the rules here for swanning into a squad chat?

[remote kiln]

not a good idea unless you actually are going to join them

[lunar finch]

[livid tusk]

Dozer is way too overpowered. It needs to be fixed, come on EA Games.

[lunar finch]

we know

[drowsy shuttle]

BSV is absolutely disgusting lol

But here is the problem of BSV.. you need to run support operator to keep feeding it with ammo

If you could carry more ammo, would be (still) the best overall weapon in the game. Easily

[weary jackal]

I couldn’t agree more

Bsv by far best gun in the game but you have to play support for ammo

[drowsy shuttle]

Yep

[valid ore]

I’m new what guns should i use in 2042

[weary jackal]

You can literally cross map snipe with it. Even counter snipe snipers with bolt actions lol

Literal laser beam

[drowsy shuttle]

And its super accurate

Yep

[valid ore]

which gun is that?

[weary jackal]

Bsv-m

[drowsy shuttle]

BSV

[weary jackal]

It’s a DMR

[valid ore]

ok i will check it out and try to unlock

what should i use for the time being

[drowsy shuttle]

Its a dmr that can be an AR or smg if you want lol all in one weapon

[valid ore]

I’m halfway to the deagle in the battle pass

[karmic egret]

man this event feels laggy as shit

[valid ore]

ooh sweet

[weary jackal]

@drowsy shuttle what attachments you normally run in it? I usually run extended Mag/power and long barrel with foregrip and alternate between sniper scope/ acog/red dot

[fervent rose]

bsvm falck really is playing 2042 on easy mode

[glacial quarry]

whispers: m39 emr

[fervent rose]

infinite ammo health and smoke

m39 takes way more effort @glacial quarry

but yes its very good

disgusting ttk

[drowsy shuttle]

It depends of situation and map... but right now im running factory barrel (sometimes short), thermal 2.5x sight or maul hybrid 1.5/3 , heavy extended mag and bcg light grip... and im using the weapon in single fire mode... i have trigger discipline so.. i make it a laser like this lol

[glacial quarry]

the high powered kills faster than the cqb round

just use it for cqb as well

[weary jackal]

Nice! I used to run shortbarrel is it better than long barrel?

[fervent rose]

the smg ammo is excellent for when you're out of hp extended

[glacial quarry]

bcg grip, 1.25x, short barrel, high powered extended both normal and sub

[drowsy shuttle]

Bsv is slighty better overall.. when i was t1 the m39, facing bsv players was the hardest to win tje fights.. lost many times

[crisp dragon]

sometimes hate just how much empty space dice puts at the edges of maps. had a manifest game just now where the enemy kept back capping e because 2-3 of them put spawn beacons in the field next to E

[glacial quarry]

short is better unless ur sniping with it

then u should just use svk

[eternal trench]

are servers down?

[fervent rose]

or svd if you're at that annoying medium long range

2 tapping people at 70m is very strong

[weary jackal]

I outkill any snipers with BSV normally if I just keep moving it feels unbeatable

[drowsy shuttle]

More rate of fire the short.. but in conquest.. factory barrel its enough.. but both are great.. id say short is better.. but im running the weapon as a dmr.. love the single fire mode

[karmic egret]

reduce pellet count what could go wrong

[glacial quarry]

m39 emr is like the best cqb weapon rn

29 round 2 shot kill lol

[drowsy shuttle]

I finished t1 the svd tonight.. its the lil bro of the m39.. pretty good, but m39 is better

[willow sky]

replaying 0:07 so many times and i can't see why it didn't kill that dozer

lol

[fervent rose]

they are just for different maps

like im not gonna run m39 on hourglass

[crisp dragon]

like all of your pellets missed the first shot

[glacial quarry]

ya m39 is more for close range

[karmic egret]

bullshit

[glacial quarry]

after 40m its not good

[drowsy shuttle]

Why not? Its doable..

[fervent rose]

but the avg engagement is outside of the m39's sweet spot

[crisp dragon]

you only clipped his elbow when you fired

[glacial quarry]

tbh even past 40m it still destroys people

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah.. but at least is more challenging lol.. you just need to compensate the bullet drop.. i got a 290m headshot kill with it in hourglass :p

[fervent rose]

it's not "better" than other guns outside of the 40m

inside that 40 it's a monster

[glacial quarry]

its basically a better pbx

more range

[fervent rose]

it reminds me of the g1-5 from bfv

[glacial quarry]

more ammo

same ttk

[fervent rose]

just a stronger g1-5

[drowsy shuttle]

They will reduce the ammo or nerf damage/ttk

Mag size i mean

[fervent rose]

and has 20m extra

a bit silly

[glacial quarry]

and effectively almost 2x the ammo

[hybrid delta]

did the servers like decide to die again

cause wtf

[brittle forge]

I was about to ask the same

[fervent rose]

giving m39 an extended mag was a bizarre decision

[brittle forge]

I can't log in atm

[glacial quarry]

yeah 20 was already extended lol

[hybrid delta]

I can’t even get in repaired the game and restarted twice still unable to load data

[glacial quarry]

isn't m39 supposed to have like 15 rounds only

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah i think so

[brittle forge]

unable to load persistance data?

[fickle flax]

yeah can't login either

[hybrid delta]

yeah that’s what im getting

it’s funny how when I decide to play bf it tells me to basically play other things

[brittle forge]

Same lmao

first time I was getting on to play this week

[frank lake]

Same issue here, though I also played earlier today without any problems. What ISP are y'all with? I'm seeing a lot of fellow AT&T customers on the support forum

[hybrid delta]

I’m on AT&T too but I can log into other games without issues

forsure just a bf thing

[eternal trench]

Yeah I'm stuck on Connecting to game servers

[frank lake]

Yep definitely. All other games and services are fine for me

I'm seeing the recommendation to call my ISP but I'm not about to call up AT&T tonight and explain what a Battlefield 2042 is

[warm stirrup]

Y'all on pc or console?

[eternal trench]

pc

[frank lake]

PS5

[eternal trench]

I'm also on ATT but idk if its that

[warm stirrup]

https://youtu.be/T1Ajm6dR1QY

If this doesn't work, know this bug has been an issue since launch

[fresh lintel]

Xbox one gang :^)

[edgy torrent]

guys

Control needs to be a perm mode

its wild

[limpid pond]

Are servers down?

Can't find a game in any gamemode

Crossplay is on too

[edgy torrent]

was just playing there a few mins ago was fine

[limpid pond]

Weird

[edgy torrent]

restart system?

[limpid pond]

Oh I just got a game but it's hourglass

[edgy torrent]

LOL rip

[limpid pond]

As an smg main I am f u c k e d

[edgy torrent]

are clips allowed here?

just finished a pretty wild 10 streak with dozer lol

[fresh lintel]

Just use the PP Bizon, its basically an AR

They're allowed if you're a "Regular" or if use Nitro and boost if i'm not mistaken.

I just use Streams/Videos a few channels below

[calm bison]

Becoming regular takes time

[fresh lintel]

Yeaaaah.

I keep forgetting to use my Nitro boost. 🤭

[calm bison]

Remember folks

All the annoying top level pilots who farmed you in BFV

Have either remained with BFV

Or become nightbird sweats in 2042

Either way

They’re still shitheads

[fresh lintel]

At least in this game I can fucking shred em 😤

[warm stirrup]

Planes were op in battlefield 5

[calm bison]

They still kinda are

[warm stirrup]

This game? Nah

[calm bison]

Oh I thought you were referring to BFV still

But yeah jets are balanced now

[fresh lintel]

Jets are barely a threat now, which sucks.

[warm stirrup]

1942 planes in portal are kind of weak

[calm bison]

Someone hasn’t seen the rocket pod buffs

[fresh lintel]

Unless its Xbox one and you're in a non Wildcat.

Which then some jet pilots hover mode and mulch your tank.

[calm bison]

I’m on Series S and can still pull of a lot of good moments with them

[fresh lintel]

I dont fly, i fucking suck. The controls hurt my brain 🥴

I can gun well enough but.. I cant even take a condor off the ground

[calm bison]

Man if only there was a gamemode option where you were just in a server full of bots

If only DICE were generous enough to give this to us

[warm stirrup]

Portal?

[calm bison]

No

[fresh lintel]

Yeah its called Xbox one lobbies

[calm bison]

Co-Op matches

[warm stirrup]

Portal private matches bro

[calm bison]

You can do that

[warm stirrup]

Yes

[eternal trench]

stupid game I just want to playyyyyyy

[calm bison]

But if you want to get good with the 2042 jets you have to use Co-Op

At least in terms of getting used to flying

[warm stirrup]

Co op is just conquest and breakthrough

[fresh lintel]

Yeah. It'd be nice but i'll stick with Infantry combat. Especially since my controller has drift now.

[warm stirrup]

Portal is all modes

[calm bison]

Ok for real talk

If you want to directly improve

Wait until an air superiority gamemode appears in the official portal playlist

And I don’t mean all out superiority with both tanks and jets

I mean actual air superiority

Just air vehicles

[warm stirrup]

Just host an air superiority with bots

[calm bison]

But here’s the deal with bots

They don’t get harder

[fresh lintel]

I guess itd be good to learn the basics

But at some point.. Yeah.

[calm bison]

If you just practice with bots and then go into a live match with real decent pilots

You’re gonna get shit on hard

Luckily for you

[fresh lintel]

Like you cant become a 2kpm player by just killing bots.

I mean you can but not once you play against humans.

[calm bison]

Most pilots in 2042 can’t tell the difference between a heatseeker or 25mm

Either that or they use jets for taxi

Assuming you’re playing 128 conquest

Most of the time

Jet players are utter dumbasses

They’ll go after you and then turn around and harass your teammate

Forgetting that you exist

[warm stirrup]

Remember at launch when you could crash your jet at enemy spawn? During beginning of match?

[calm bison]

That shit was cringe

[warm stirrup]

>spawns
>instantly dies by kamikaze jet

[calm bison]

Another thing

Don’t fly on Renewal conquest

Ever

The wildcats seem to get particularly ornery about you existing

As a console player

My setup for jets is as follows

-25mm, rocket pods, countermeasures, repair system

The 25mm is the definitive meta option for jets

The 30mm just isn’t worth it in the long run

You should see Caspian border

[hearty ginkgo]

wtf did I just watch

[calm bison]

TOR mating ritual

They rub barrels together and eventually an EBLC-RAM pops out

[fresh lintel]

Friends nuzzling noses of course

[odd cradle]

can somebody please help i cant launch the game i keep getting error and nothing i thought would fix it has worked

[left bane]

steam refund

[lunar finch]

yes !

[upbeat sand]

What's the error

[odd cradle]

it keeps saying something like this
directx funciton res failed e_unexpected gpu driver 53640

[left bane]

is your graphics card compatible?

[odd cradle]

i have a rtx

[left bane]

update your gpu driver

[odd cradle]

done it

[left bane]

from device manager

anyone else got recommendations?

[upbeat sand]

Try using DDU to wipe your Driver clean then fresh install

Also don't oberclock the game

[odd cradle]

idk why its happening i played this game just fine when it came out and now its not working

[left bane]

which one?

[weak spindle]

Maybe something happened during install/update, did ya try verifying files?

[glacial quarry]

disgusting

2 TOR tanks on offense

[lunar finch]

we didnt do it on purpose

[left bane]

bf2042 is cringe in general

[lunar finch]

L

[hearty ginkgo]

Then why are you here?

[calm bison]

Masochism

[hearty ginkgo]

Ooouh

Right I wasn’t thinking

[left bane]

Still dont see classes

all I see is some weird specialists

[calm bison]

When was the last time you actually played 2042?

[left bane]

2 months ago

[kindred flint]

when was the last time you werent bottom quarter of the scoreboard?

[left bane]

when was the last time you didn't gagg EA's failures? 😂

[hearty ginkgo]

Im actually kinda new as well yes I’m very late for the party but that’s because I couldn’t afford the game when it released on day 1

[lunar finch]

i love 2042

[upbeat sand]

Ya that's understandable

[kindred flint]

he must be new around here if he doesnt think im calling out 2042 bs

[lunar finch]

the .5 kd is showing

[upbeat sand]

Remember when games used to get 60 dollars

Good times

[kindred flint]

thanks console kids

[calm bison]

Here’s the deal with grifters - if you don’t immediately jump on the hate bandwagon, you’re sucking insert company here’s dick

reviews talk for themsleves 😂

[calm bison]

Which reviews

[kindred flint]

most reviewers cant tell their ass from their elbow so 🤷‍♂️

[left bane]

oh Look BF2042 became call of duty

[upbeat sand]

So
How do people feel about control

[calm bison]

Tell me you haven’t seen the skins MW22 has been adding lately without telling me

[upbeat vector]

More like Battlefield doesn't know what game it wants to be.

[left bane]

very well said

[kindred flint]

literally who ever at dice thought 2.15 METERS was a legit range for the shield 1 shot should be looking for another job atm

[calm bison]

Serves as a good refresh. But yeah it was a bit ridiculous

[left bane]

battlefield 1 is the truthful best success of its franchise

[calm bison]

Glad they’re nerfing him if only a little

[upbeat sand]

Man dozer dosent feel fun for me anymore ever since they buffed him

Like it's too easy

[calm bison]

I’m gonna play Devil’s advocate and say BFV is better

[upbeat sand]

I was much more fun with shitty dozer cause de memes

[upbeat vector]

At least Call of Duty has a battle Royale which the current games center upon.

[calm bison]

Better vehicle gameplay

[upbeat sand]

Now he's just kinda too powerful

[calm bison]

Better gunplay

Better progression

Customization (in terms of vehicles and guns)

[upbeat sand]

Ok ok you know what this game needs

A seal

[calm bison]

Maybe a crying seal?

[left bane]

I see where battlefield2042 got its new players from, they came from CoD 😂

[upbeat sand]

A fat blobby seal

[frank lake]

Oh hey I connected! There's hope

[left bane]

They like their colorful rainbow armours and guns

[calm bison]

Show me one rainbow skin in 2042

Please

Show me

While you’re at it show me the robot arm in BFV

[upbeat vector]

I do not see any rainbow skin in BF2042

[kindred flint]

bf1 was balance dogshit for far too long lmao

people saying that game was amazing are coping so hard

[fresh lintel]

The only "Rainbow" skin I can think of is the Retrowave skin for Crawfish.

[calm bison]

Shhhh. Let them be enthralled by the immershun

[fresh lintel]

No lie the game is good, I find it a better experience over BF5.

In every aspect.

[willow sky]

bro that skin hits hard i use it

[upbeat vector]

For all of its problems, at least BF1 launched with little gamebreaking bugs.

[fresh lintel]

I dont have it but I would, well not crawdads skin. I prefer my armor and helmets.

[left bane]

https://tenor.com/view/the-goon-cod-warzone-call-of-duty-hurry-up-jump-on-gif-17162875

[kindred flint]

wish it launched with a bug that nerfed the ft 17

or arty trucks camping at the edge of the map

[calm bison]

You guys remember when BFV had a shorter TTK for newer players? And then players reported it to devs and they removed it?

Oh wait no

That was for BF1

[upbeat sand]

All battlefield games kinda suck at balance honestly

Bf4's vehicles are way too powerful
Bf1's vehicles are not as but artillery and Ariel are too powerful, and high rpm are the only meta

Bfv's vehicles are kinda food while bomber planes are what the fuck

2042's vehicles are weak ass

[calm bison]

I’d argue BFV vehicles are pretty OP

[upbeat vector]

But is that really the case?

[upbeat sand]

The vehicles are good

But assault having an rpg, dynamite, and anti tank grenade is why

[calm bison]

Maybe

[upbeat sand]

I have 1v1 so many tanks in bfv

[calm bison]

But any half decent tanker will pin down the assault

[upbeat vector]

That is if they have some support backing the tank up.

[calm bison]

That is literally how you’re supposed to use tanks

IRL and in game

Tanks in battlefield usually survive for longer when they stick with their team

[upbeat sand]

I kinda wish the seasonal trailers for 2042 had some proper cutscene in one of em

Like how apex has a cinematic trailer and a gameplay trailer

Like imagine the Namaqualand being revived by the shearwater satellite in a chinematic cutscene

Instead of some thing that lets you activate a tornado on renewal

[calm bison]

I still don’t even know where Namaqualand is supposed to be

Isn’t it supposed to be in South Africa?

[upbeat sand]

Namaqualand is renewal

[calm bison]

I don’t think it is

[lunar finch]

2042s vehicles are not weak

[calm bison]

The event on Renewal is meant to show that Shearwater works

[upbeat sand]

Oh right

[upbeat sand]

Wiki says Namaqualand is located at the richtersveld of a former part of South Africa

[fresh lintel]

Ah. I didnt know where Richtersveld was

Or.. Is?

🤷‍♀️

[carmine rover]

my biggest tdm stomp ever

[sullen mulch]

I don't understand why dice makes these game modes just to remove them after a week

Why even bother playing in the first place

[velvet sand]

yo web search is spectacularly unhelpful right now, anyone know how to show actual FPS in the game? I'm not exactly sure what the console command numbers are showing me and apparently the stupid ea play app doesn't support that functionality : /

[lunar finch]

[sullen mulch]

Let alone the amount of times you end up in a completed game

[patent pivot]

to provoke a scarcity tactic

and gatekeep game mode

[fresh lintel]

Plus to see if the mode sticks, cause I can see them putting these modes on rotation.

Hopefully that FNB one with BF3 vs Specialists

[patent pivot]

and what's going to happen if the game stops supporting

[fresh lintel]

Well we got another season to go, Hopefully two

[patent pivot]

at this point why bother

[fresh lintel]

So as with anygame, support stops. Game lives on until the second installment.

[patent pivot]

it keeps adding the same shit over and over

ADD SOMETHING DIFFERENT

[fresh lintel]

Then it gets into 2142 Territory or proper near future as we kinda are in.

And any new content added is possibly reused content anyways

[patent pivot]

not an exciting future when content is stale

[fresh lintel]

Which happens with EVERY battlefield because there isnt much you can do to make it feel different gameplay wise.

[patent pivot]

I'm not going to bother

[patent pivot]

explain V and older titles

[fresh lintel]

I mean Battlefield has been the same since 3 IMO besides 1 and 5

[patent pivot]

they at least tried with new game modes

[fresh lintel]

Yeah, tried.

[patent pivot]

they stuck permanently

[fresh lintel]

Enforced permanence, not stuck.

[patent pivot]

had all of the games been rotating game modes and such

I'd be pissed

[fresh lintel]

I dont even know what game modes 5 has. Because its a bad game.

[patent pivot]

it's an okay game

[fresh lintel]

And given 2042? It makes sense. Game released poorly.

[patent pivot]

at least that feels atmospherically better than 2042

42 feels super boring

[valid ore]

what is the best lmg

[fresh lintel]

Avancys, RPT and LCMG.

[patent pivot]

and yet

we're shifting topic

fantastic

[valid ore]

ty

[fresh lintel]

Ava is simply just the best LMG. But the RPT and LCMG are honestly great choices.

They asked a question I answered, doesnt mean i'm swaying.

[valid ore]

k i will try them

[patent pivot]

the only way to salvage the game is by bringing back old content

[magic bloom]

RPT is good it’s my personal favorite

[fresh lintel]

Battlefield 5 felt like it had no substance or atmospherem

[patent pivot]

or refocus on portal q

heck nah

V feels more alive than 2042

[valid ore]

bf 5 was a waste of money tbh not worth it

[fresh lintel]

It felt so boring. So bland.

And waiting a literal 15 seconds Per death to play the game again was actually stupid.

[magic bloom]

Agreed

[patent pivot]

asses your situation when you did

[fresh lintel]

I am a patient woman but I am not waiting 15 fucking seconds just to play the game.

[patent pivot]

boo fucking hoo

go exclusively play 2042 only

[valid ore]

i like bf1 and 4 and 2042

[magic bloom]

I do

2042 is good

[fresh lintel]

In 2042 I can just respawn immediately without teammates forcefully reviving me in shitty spots.

I can respawn without some turd teabagging me for 10.

[patent pivot]

I'm the complete opposite

[magic bloom]

Not in all aspects but it’s a nice game

[patent pivot]

2042 does not feel like a true bf game

[fresh lintel]

Battlefield 3 was my favourite.

[valid ore]

neither does V

[magic bloom]

I’m glad they finally did something different

[valid ore]

in my opinion

[patent pivot]

like who the fuck are these specialists

[fresh lintel]

I am too

[patent pivot]

idc about these guys

[magic bloom]

The same as the specialists in every other battlefield

There’s just more of them

[fresh lintel]

I wish they would continue with the Specialists, but I understand if they dont.

[patent pivot]

bro, have you listened to their lines from 4?

they had personalities

and variety of voice lines

[magic bloom]

I have

[chilly jacinth]

You don't have to care about them

[fresh lintel]

And I wish the next installment was 2142 but I would understand if it isnt.

I'll play the next title regardless.

[valid ore]

true, specialistsand the laser gunplay are my only issues with 2042

[patent pivot]

I find them way more fun to listen to

[magic bloom]

Only ones I actually liked were the American support

[patent pivot]

than some blokes in 42

oh even the Chinese soldiers too

pleasing to the ears

[magic bloom]

Legitimately like the specialists more than the classes

[valid ore]

why

[patent pivot]

I bet your ass you love valorant, apex and siege

[magic bloom]

I’ve played them all but don’t love them

But what do other games have to do with this conversation

[fresh lintel]

The only thing BF5 has over 2042 is being able to actively choose to be Female instead of 2042s: If you want this ability you need to play this character.

But, its whatever. I still play Zain and them lmao

[patent pivot]

hero shooters

a sub genre that annoys me

[valid ore]

yes those suck

[magic bloom]

I don’t mind them

[fresh lintel]

The only hero shooter that shouldnt have happened is Champions.

Otherwise theyre fine.

[magic bloom]

It’s just a quirk of the game

[patent pivot]

these specialists have no rights to exist in bf

assholes

[magic bloom]

It’s why battlefield got stale

Always the same 4 classes

[patent pivot]

none of that shit matters because I'm waiting on WR to come out for 4

so sit down

[magic bloom]

Before the class system update you literally had no idea what to expect out of any player

[fresh lintel]

Yeah honestly the specialists did spice up the game in an interesting and kinda fun way IMO.

[patent pivot]

bf4 WR will beat 2042 in no time

just watch

[fresh lintel]

I didnt like BF4

[magic bloom]

Just like Battle bit is pretty much beating every battlefield

[fresh lintel]

I can see BF3 being a bop though

[vestal badge]

Battle bit so much better

except it doesn't have offline mode and bots

[vestal badge]

I came here to say that

[fresh lintel]

Its also a drastically different game that isnt Battlefield at all

[vestal badge]

Ea sucks

[fresh lintel]

And also kinda mid IMO

[vestal badge]

They should have gave all that money to the gamers

[patent pivot]

unless battle bit is going to add offline and bots

[magic bloom]

That’s why I said it actually

2042 is bad because people don’t like them to try new things cause it’s a completely different type of game compared to the rest

[fresh lintel]

Like I dont want to hate on the game or the people who play it.

But all the gameplay ive seen from Battlebit seems like Phantom forces (aka Roblox CoD) but bigger. And more teamplay.

And its goal is outdone by Planetside 2, even if that game is slowly dying and hated by its stockholm syndrome'd community lmao

[magic bloom]

There’s a point where it goes from good criticism about the game to actual bitching about something you cannot change

[fresh lintel]

I will love Planetside until I die and I dont care if its a bad game, its MY bad game.

And yeah

[patent pivot]

here's my fair complaint with 42

lack of good tone and atmosphere

and lack of game modes

[fresh lintel]

Like I have my gripes with 42, like certain weapon balancing and vehicle balancing but i'm just one person.

[patent pivot]

been doing rush all day

barely any vehicles

and only 32

[magic bloom]

See that’s a valid complaint compared to what most people will say

[patent pivot]

WTF is this shit

where's my 64 rush

where's my jet and other combo vehicles in rush

[magic bloom]

Rush XL and Breakthrough 124 are by far the best game modes

[fresh lintel]

I think the tone is nice. Knowing its a Prequel to 2142 and knowing what is to come in the Battlefield timeline. It feels almost melancholic to be fighting at places.

Knowing its either gonna be a fucking desert or a snowy tundra in.. 20+ years.

[patent pivot]

128 is overkill for me

classic 64 is good

[magic bloom]

I think 128 needs to keep coming back

[fresh lintel]

128 is small for me ;-;

I'm jaded by Planetside numbers lmao

[patent pivot]

rush is so damn boring in this game

[magic bloom]

But that’s because I like the chaotic fun it brings

[patent pivot]

fucking shit

[fresh lintel]

I blame the map design for Rushs failure

Because even I refuse to touch Rush.

[patent pivot]

you know that big ass open space at the first stage? that's terrible for 32

[magic bloom]

I only play rush when Rush XL is out

[fresh lintel]

Battlefield 3 Rush was peak Rush. Map design, objective placement. Vehicles and Weapon balancing. It all blended well.

[patent pivot]

add more vehicles and player slots

that'll even the odds out

[patent pivot]
