If it’s 4 in the morning then fair enough
How come I managed to play some games during maintenance then ? wtf
because not all servers get shut down for maintenance
Dice is his uncle
well why'd matchmaking push people on servers in maintenance then ? 
nepotism
the servers were not taken down, they are being patched whilst being up, which is why you can still play the game
offline maintenance is different to live patching
oh right they do live patching
np
are the servers down in BF?
same
it just says "a undefined error occured"
15:....13C:-.....
So when will they finish?
As soon as I know, it'll be relayed 🙂
Nice
They said it would finish 12 UTC, is that PM or AM?
Before they said they had to extend it#
PM, aka about 3 minutes ago.
ah
does a maintenance window ever not get extended
hourglass update uwu?
no
Oh word?
I just got the game yesterday and Im already grindin the new seasoon
i want old hourglass for a bit longer
nah, theyre just workin on the login server right now
No, but we're almost there 🙂
europe time??
Wait do you actually work for DICE?
im betting they change it and the internet blows up with angry people
when is the rework gonna be released?
Yes they are the community manager
soon
das sick
that tells me nuffin sir
yo when is this fixed? ... which time
They dont know yet
ay
soon tm**
well no one else knows
yup
among us ? -.-
everybody has
man first the delay in game and the lag and now an error
Anyone else not able to connect to ea servers?
everyone
they fix smt
pulled the login server down for maintenance. nothing to worry about. unless they just nuked and deleted the entire game on accident
i hope they fix the game delay
Yes everyone. They are working on it.
Good to know Im not the only one suffering😭 🙏
"Fortnite"
dice
Dice be like: lul, what did we do
anyways, next game y'all
Dice pls....
"Battlefield 2042 no longer exists on this device"
Quick let us turn all our socials black.
lmao
DevICE
Ayooo ahhahha
"There are no accidents" ~Master Oogway
Illuminati shit
I smell a CONSPIRACY
anyways u guys also having delay in game or only me
all
like when moving u get weird shit
wdym delay
character moving by itself
oh Idk
Lets play skribble io
nah, lets go Amogus
i can show a video but idk if i can post here
sure
i normally get an audio lag while the game loads everything for the first 10 seconds. thats it
nah i get hella glitches (rtx 2080 super i7 9700k)
they fixed it
im in
who wanna play ? would play hazard zone
good news, dice didnt nuke the game
all breakthrough lol
"crash"
damn already found a game
someone hazard?
We should get rework hourglass soon yeah? Next week or so?
I think
that they'll give us info
and if it was next week we'd already be informed
but I'm gonna wait til' Friday or smth for verdict
Wish they brought the LTM's back onto rotation.
They actually make the game feel fresh.
Modern engagement systems hurrah 💀
Dunno bout you but if they actually kept these limited time modes as actual modes then people who only come back for them could actually play for longer before stopping again
I just don’t see the point in putting in the effort to create these mechanics only to abandon them
Yeah that's how I see it.
Why would you add these special custom game modes only to not use them again?
it went
What’s the name of the bomb type device they added? I’ve forgotten
But stuff like that must have taken some time to make
Season 4 event.
Yeah.
THis one took a bit too.
If they did like a "Weekend night battlefield" with these LTM's then... You know?
Actually...
I don't have good frames in rush xl 😦
Nvm on my part.
Yeah dude your CPU is fucking.
DYING.
During BT 128 my CPU hit at 90% usage.
My 5800x3d of all things HAHA.
Like I'm not surprised.
my cpu is 100%
and someone said "ur pc is old get a new one"
i7 9700k
rtx 2080 super all low settings
getting delays 100% cpu and lag spikes
then why am i having 100% cpu
It's just that you will need a new CPU with hyperthreading.
Because this game demands your CPU more than your GPU.
- in graphics settings in windows i set it as "performance"
but why 100% cpu
Cause 2042
Cause this game is more CPU intensive than any other battlefield title.
yeah fuck this
Mh.
Although I’ve not checked how much of my cpu is being used now I think about it
Yeah I never did until season 3.
When they upped the usage.
I do wish they had an option for lower end CPU's.
Cause they pretty much flipped a switch that can't be turned off unless through user.cfg.
i changed stuff in user.cfg
64 player modes feel like they run better most of the time
ye
Yeah they would.
128 modes fries my cpu
Ah crap not marksman kills
128p just places unnecessary stress on it.
Honestly, go back to 64 players pls
man if i didnt change user.cfg settings id be running 50 fps now im at 120fps but rip cpu
64p is DICE's bread and butter and it wasn't worth the sacrifice.
If people can’t run the game because of it then that’s not ideal
well not anymore, since I repasted recently and it runs at 80c at 100%, but still my cpu is too weak for 128
I’m too scared to re paste my cpu
Why can't I join ea friends
Mhhhh
One reason why battlebit is doing so well I’d say, so many people can’t run 2042 and battlebit offers a somewhat similar experience that basically anyone can play
Pretty much. It's a more accessible squad.
People say it replaces battlefield but it really doesn't.
Unless large battles is all they're looking for without any semblance of actual balance.
All these kinds of games - Xdefiant, battlebit etc - that claim to be the X franchise killer simply won’t
The gun variety is cool but that's about it.
It’s like another football game coming along claiming to beat fifa
Like, it just won’t happen
you mean streamers
people are sheep. they like to follow
These games are massive for a reason.
I mean positive press gets more people to buy it's always been like that.
Even playing it myself I was glad it was just a functional game with a functional server browser and stuff we've come to accept from battlefield.
It was fun during the tests but not something I’d invest time into
But it’s by no means a bf killer
I'm not gonna say it's superior cause fuck no. It's its own game, But it had a bunch of features from battlefield that we are familiar with that we miss. Like a server browser, Proper squad management and working mouse input.
enlisted is pretty fun tbh. even with the bots
Yeah just consider it it’s own game, cause that’s what it is
imma go download v or 1
A mish mash of different mechanics from various games
You'll miss it less than your gun will, Cats.
spraying 200 rounds with my m240B with supression puts some hair on my chest
It's genuinely refreshing to have a game that just works in the end.
In this shitty landscape.
An indie game has so much to lose these days versus some "AAA" game that launches a half baked live service.
if modern games worked, no one would ever sing their praises about fixing the game on the interwebs tho
Cause it rides off brand recognition and a publisher that can actually finance it.
I mean armoured core 6 has recieved praise for the simple ability to choose exactly what colour you want on your mech. What does that say about games nowadays
Restrictions for the sake of monetary gain later on
And we go unheard because it's not profitable to be convinient.
careful. bright colors are the one thing between battlefield and fortnite lol
It's more profitable to be a pain in the ass to your customers/consumers, etc.
Let people customise their gun the way they want. Lemme put Neon green Zebra on my m16 cause overall who gives a fuck.
It's why people are having fun on older CODs because they are actually fun.
used to be like that. and then people started asking companies for skins. and then they gave away their wallets
I'd play black ops 2 if it weren't for input delay but that's besides the point.
I don't think it's entirely bad to sell skins but to pay money to solely get skins then it's a problem.
Premium currency should be easily attainable and allow the common player to buy a bundle they like.
And the prices of a bundle should be a simple transaction to influence sales.
at the rates they go for its literal theft
Bf5 had a really good shop despite my issues.
Cause the bundles had massive value.
Like oh you literally... fuck. 4 to 5 weapon skins, 2 soldier sets and a tank body set.
And considering the extent of bf5's customisation it had amazing value, All for 10 dollars I believe.
In this shop things are overpriced and really if you want to buy somehting, You really want to want it.
There's a bundle I have my eye on which involves Zain, The only operator I play as.
They weren’t restricted to certain characters like 2042 skins were they
Yeah no they weren't.
If most players are bots it will become a steamroll within minutes because they can’t defend worth a damn
They were instead to faction.
So you don’t feel regret if one comes out that happens to be for someone you don’t play
Also, bots really hate spotting drones
Pretty much. It's literally just "Oh I don't like this skin" other than "This is a good skin!.. on an operator I don't even play"
And even if it was a style you didn't like. That was that.
I’ve had every gun on a MAV shooting at my drone because they were all bots
Hell they even sold ghillie suits which were 50K Company coin, Perfect for freenium players.
The American and German bundle was 50K CC.
The Japanese one was individual.
I think for 14.400?
Ugh I hate those things in V
It wasn't a super amount but it was pretty pricey, But didn't take a super long time if you knew what you were doing.
Ugly as shit and did no favours for the game’s visibility issues
They didn't really change much.
Plus nobody even used them for sniping
People hid in bushes the visibility was about the same.
Just ran around in the middle of a city looking like an idiot
It was pretty funny to run the wookie suit with the FG42.
And the fact that I had the option was nice.
They just need to re add my BF5 FG42 into this game with a 30 rounder and I'll be a happy support.
is 2042 working again?
Yeah the servers are now operational.
thanks
Way, 2042 wasn't profitable and won't be EA's meter stick in terms of how to release a game for the next few years
I Wish 2042 was released today not 2021
In the sense of releasing a broken game because it's more profitable.. that was definitely not the case here
They lost estimated $100M
lol after that match of rush xl my cpu didn't even reach throttling temp, it just couldn't handle 128 players. Big sad
really? i tought they made good money cause they had good marketing
Stock dipped and FIFA saved their earnings reports
Pre orders can only take you so far
In this case word got around fast
Even the beta was enough for many people to lose interest
same for me meanwhile my cpu performs with 100 players in Squad which is way more heavier than 2042
I don't think I'm being optimistic in saying that for once leadership will take a lesson from this one
squad is not heavier than 2042
It hit the wallet
I heard exactly the same after bfv.
I want to be optimistic too, I try to be in most cases. What with Vince having a greater impact on the game’s development as well as the simple fact that they learnt a lot from this im hoping something comes from it
I was speaking about the general industry.
Honestly.
Unless they can show it.
"AAA" quality will mean unfinished, buggy garbage.
Missing forecasted earnings is not the same as losing $100M though
larger but not really. It doesn't have more details, textures are copy-pasted all over, buildings are simple, terrains are simple, no map physics
graphically squad is also an uglier game
Excuse the fact that I don't have any optimism cause of this industry. I don't mean to sound rude in how I present my self at all.
the graphics got reworked if you didnt notice
Nah I think that’s a pretty universal take regarding all this
Doesn’t look like anyone’s playing tonight. Must’ve been drawn off by the server problems
reworked, still ugly
I'm just trying to convey how I've observed this shit industry. Look at Diablo 4. They had a great, functional game with a questionable end game. That's ok. But the most recent patch ruined the damn game in order to pad out time from their playerbase because... Yay?
i was expecting 2042 to have destruction 10x more than bf4
but its 2x less
the biggest thing is that tornado
And tornados are overplayed and just annoying
or the boat's wall on that indian map
That being said, Deep down I hope they'll actually give a damn. I'm with you on that one.
The more destruction you have the worse maps play out
Funny enough, EA almost ruined 2 franchises with their disney/fortnite vision... I mean who got the idea to give cartoonish smoke and other cartoonish driving visuals to need for speed unbound? I don't wanna play Mario kart... was the candy crush guy responsible for bf 2042 and need for speed unbound?
I've heard stories how troubled development has been.
Doubt it
For this.
It makes me feel sad for the actual developers themselves because the ones I've known are total sweethearts.
These people are capable of doing great things.
in BF3 we had voice lines that made you fear war
in 2042 a korean girl comes into the screen and smiles
I’ve got no clue what actually happened though, and I’d rather not assume
I’ve heard things too but I can’t be certain it’s 100% accurate
Like the whole BR thing, I don’t buy it
It probably wasn't going to be a BR but probably infact something much, much different.
I can't say I give a shit about specialists but when it ruins faction and gameplay balance I can't say I want it back.
Cause I love their interactions.
I genuinely love it.

Characters reacting to each other makes it feel more personal.
cartoonish smoke and other visuals
probably because it's supposed to be reminiscent of graffiti?
ITS DOK!!!
Vince has scrounged up the game and I think has done a good job. But his input will be felt in the next game.
Yes
I've only heard Crawford and Irish.
But only as a squadmate between the 2
"I won't always be there to save your ass, Crawford" ~Zain
And Zain must ress Sundance
"The world needs Leaders, irish" and "Oz will never forgive me if I let you die"
That's the criteria
There was another one with Crawford.
A couple of them have chats with each other.
I think something about calling him an old man.
Interactions between ally specialists
Like these things I think they are fantastic.
"I know what's best mumble mumble follow me mumble mumble" ~Boris
Idk about interactions between enemy specialists
Yeah there's no interaction.
:C
It's just "target down"
I know that squadmates have reactions to certain specialists killing someone.
I wanna hear "fuck off Angel" ~Irish
usually involves getting teabagged
But I can't remember it.
Crawford will laugh sometimes
you know
specialists was a bad idea i remember 2 months before the release people were spamming remove the specialists in Battlefield's insta posts
what they should have done
was to put each specialists in their own faction
like boris for RU
mackay for US
now the lore of the game dosent make sense
who are No Pats with?
why are they even fighting with each other?
there are no enemy specialists canonically
If you destroy a vehicle
True
Cause the actual lore makes no sense.
Ingame makes no sense.
Just assume AI soldiers are fighting each other really.
it's apex rules
I like the announcer from BFV
bf1 was better
Nah bf5's announcer had more variety.
Angry announcer
Oh lord German Announcer.
The fucking pain in his voice.
Just hearing him say "BUT WE ARE LOSING THIS" always gets me.
Yep
ObJeCtIve DOGHA Has BeEn lost
I still remember battlefield hardline where the criminal announcer would swear at you always.
"You let those fucks, Rob OUR VAULT?"
"If you don't get this in the bag, We're fucked"
Wildcats 30mms are peak
It's like the announcer is flaming the team
I mean it actually makes sense.
Wouldn’t have changed the gameplay much
Dude the TDM quotes.
Yes
"I almost feel sorry for them, Almost"
if the 35mm fired like the 30mm it would be better
I might hop onto BFV again just to find more after I T1 battlepass
my idea was to remove them completely but for the lore i said
Vs the calm ‘we have taken objective Apple’
And there's another one about vacancies in the police force after you've cleared enough.
For the lore, sure
Imagine the announcer shouting at your ears
There wasn't one.

Oh back at BF5 when you had everything captured with your soldiers yelling that they have got this.
makes sense why i dont remember anything
I remember this one REALLY aggressive quote coming from the Germans.
As they yelled in victory.
V1 rocket i just remembered
JB-2
devastation map
Meanwhile sometimes you hear female soldiers screaming when they're down
right in the church
bfv also had good art
Shit is kinda annoying
Argh SANITATER ICH SCHTABE.
2042 dosent have a soul honestly
The soldiers had much, much better lines.
H I L F E
I remember when the pacific theatre came out the Americans genuinely had much better lines.
THough the one line that always makes me laugh is "Woah, Is that a grenade?"
but
And the first ever map to give me PTSD in BFV
angel is the best
me when no likey
"soulless"
I can't really comment on Iwo jima cause I was the one that sat in the Zeroes farming all day.
None of this is wrong. BUT. Inventing realism and grit from nothing is always going to be harder than recreating well-documented and emotional experiences that have actually happened
💀
Battlefield has always done better in using the toys it has.
And recreating it within its own context.
Hamada tho
One of my fav playground
Likewise for Twisted Steel
Hiding in the trees as a recon sniper with iron sights

Istg it's thrilling
i agree but imagine PAIK for example
she runs and says lines like she's having a toy party
💀
Tiger tank in hamada sniping
what lines, in-game or pre/post-game?
SturmTiger snipe
Hip hip hooray another kill on my list
- voice line/over
Sturmtiger
exactly
all of it
SturmTiger the fat tank
There's a video that was released documenting the voice actor for Paik and the experience of reading voice lines in a non-native language... I need to find that
yeah the actor is canonically Korean I believe?
there was a match that we were 500 vs 200 points and we were losing
my friend ordered the sturmtiger
he went inside and two of just stayed behind repairing him
we won the match 0 vs 50
Ah paik is the is the Asian one


Idk about that 

compare Falck to PAIK
falck has much more charisma and character
TENNO HENKA BANZAI
I realized the katana is Zain's passive
what is the required cpu for smooth 128 conquest
Life drain weapon
What are you looking at?
meanwhile CRAWFORD looks like andrew tate xD
what does this even mean. any examples?
What is your budget?
Hannah tho
select each one and watch the animation that they do when they get selected
i am just asking i want good performance i have 1660 ti
falck comes in like a real solider
while paik comes in like superheroes or animes
Ryzen 7 5800x
i7 10th or beyond
skip 10th and 11th gen
I would recommend minimum a 13600K. DDR5 is super cheap to get into now.
they are terrible cpus
HEY. 10700 was good!
ok thanks
my 10750 sucks fart
Combine it with XMP and you're set.

i7?
Laptop SeePeeUUU. xP
yes
Nah I have respect for that.
i got i7 7th and i can run DCS with it 😄
she turns sideways 45° and nods once towards the camera this is some next level nit-pick
should be good enoughh 1660ti?
What is your budget, Omar? How much are you willing to spend for a better CPU?

What is your current CPU.
sell the 1660 get a at least 3060 ti you will be able to play every game
you need a gpu upgrade
are there games i cant run?
Angel also does this
Nods at the camera
I'm running a i7-8700K with a 4080 and the game runs great
i meant every game with full experience
like warzone on high graphics
or RUST
Tarkov
oh ok i see ty but i dont even have a good monitor xd
full hd is alright
No stop
anyone wanna gimme some insight on what goes through the minds of people who drive vehicles right into the middle of 20 people
Look up “internet dial up tone” and that’s probably about the same as what’s happening in their heads
dial up provided a service atleast
Same
right because they're relatively friendly and approachable people outside of the battlefield. not everyone when confronted with combat will immediately break down out of combat into some raggedy grizzled veteran that talks like "you weren't there man"
my current cpu is i5_10400f but cant really play conquest 128 with i7 gen 10 and 1660 ti i can?
CPU wise the 13600K will be the best upgrade for you then considering what battlefield demands. If you could throw a bit more money, A 13700 would work a bit better cause it'll have more cores and vcache.
Your GPU is "ok" but it should be the next thing you should upgrade.
You'll suffer from a bottle neck but you'll be fine under CPU intensive situations.
are you telling me it was a bad decision to get this pc 2 years ago xd
2 years ago???
yeah maybe 2.5 now
Mines at 1.5 and already shitting itself
You weren't gonna get crazy performance but it worked. Nowadays it's pretty old.
Mine is still kicking!
It's literally been 1.45 years on my part. :x
What da fuck.
Time flies by so quickly.
so normally i have to upgrade every 3 years?
I built mine 5 years ago and only now upgraded the GPU (ignoring the part where I upgraded my RAM)
My mouse input completely broke the other day, my audio is becoming crunchy and glitchy, not to mention my keyboard doesn’t really work anymore meaning I have an external keyboard
i see ok thanks
Oh jesus.
:)
just looked 17300 price its more expensive than my pc when i got it 😂 gpu cpu ram and all lol
The no pat leader or something.
He's the leader of the largest No-Pat force and has been stealing US climate manipulation tech to create a new nation for the No-Pats
so why are we as no pats fighting him
because we didn't actually know what he was doing in S1-4 / he's instigating war between the US and RU
Oz is a worm
It makes no sense cause he wants to destroy no pats. Yet the U.S still employs like lol.
Oz wants to watch the US and RU destroy themselves
But the US and RU also don't want to do that so they're just having proxy wars using the No-Pat groups in exchange for supplies and food and such
And crack, in exchange of crack
Specialists are shit anyway to me, I'd prefer being able to play AI models
proxy wars are a real thing that happen IRL you know?

yea like the iran iraq war
@robust vapor Here's Way!
When has this clip been recorded ?
lore wise it's stated in the exodus short film, Irish had to give the satellite coordinates to Oz from the wreckage but only became familiar with what it was once he got it, he didn't know he was wanting it to start a war between the US and RU, ergo, there was a split faction
the game is a preamble to 2142's lore, the weather device still fails and the world freezes over
Early 2016.
somehow
it worked once
in Namaqualand specifically
It's gonna fuck up again and the worlds gonna go to shit.
Which isn't that good anyway, I mean of it's cool he wants to create a no-pats nation but this motherfucker was also trying to make million people kill themselves so he has to be arrested anyway
I remember being 16.
What I'm confused about is what we're currently doing in Reclaimed
It was weird.
How do you know that ? 🤨
It's literally in the plot of 2142.
it's the plot to the game lol
A new ice age came to envelop the world with the EU and PAC fighting over land that's still habitable.
I didn't know it was linked to BF2142, I thought it was just rumors
RU uses the reclaimed facility for tank production and the U.S found a trace signal.
no it's literally always been connected
There's more than that but I don't really care. It's just this plot that's never explained to us.
2142 may of not taken place on another planet so it really depends.
Cause originally it was apparently to be set like that.
And the U.S was replaced with the EU.
Reclaimed situation doesn't really make sense, weather machine is already functional and situation gets better, they just made up some random shot worh Arkangel because they had nothing interesting to tell
It's easy to assume the U.S is NOT a super power in 2142.
Some random train full of cargo got derailed and that's as much as we know.
That sucks lol
Would be better to not bring context if it's as bad as Reclaimed context
If the story was more explicitly told more people would care.
Dozer spider mask when 
this implies people care about the lore of battlefield
They should just say they're done with the Lore of this game which sucks anyway because it didn't get a campaign and everyone would get on with it lol
But in the end of the day it's just a map to fight on with very little context that a small portion of the community will uncover.
it's been retconed like 3 times already, needs to be ambiguous or it'd be worse
I still remember that in Canon
Paris got nuked
If the train itself was mentioned, With the U.S and RU actually trying to claim resources from it then it'd be a little more believable.
That's what I was trying to say, they just made no effrost to make it interesting to learn so people just don't give a fuck
In 2042 I still wonder if we'll ever get a map in Paris after the place has been nuked
If it was made more obvious in how it was told more people would be intrigued.
thats a fuckin good idea
squad wipe 
I very much doubt a nuked Paris is on their plans for future seasons
and here's d0k @next onyx
plus why would they nuke Paris
BF3
Shotgun!
paris got nuked
I haven’t played bf3 so 
Absolutely impossible lol, all maps in this game except reclaimed are large open maps, you'll never get any urban map for sure
In Bf3 Paris was nuked due to a runaway Russian nuke which sparked a conflict between the U.S and the RU.
go play it or never play bf again
He doesn't have to play bf3.
New York almost got nuked
Game is dead as fuck anyways with barely variety.
Yeah it did at the end.
story
you can still play the story mode
I forgot the game has a co-op too
plus I only played bf1 and bfv and
Only played a bit of hardline, 1943 and 4 all multiplayer 
Ah fuck I accidentally rendered my video at 4K.
it didn't, the nukes were located before they detonated, it's what the last mission is for
All I know is that China is being a bitch in 2042 
they can’t even hire mercenaries to fight for them
I didn't mean that it did I mean that It did almost get nuked in the end.
ah fair
Brick.
they ate one too many exotic soup 
Ok I need to clean my room I'm bored as fuuuuck.
This is prime time for them to go out for resources hunting 
I seriously wish they can bring back siege
you know how boring and uninspiring a campaign is when the cutscenes are more fun to watch than actually playing the missions
no, we haven't finishing dealing with their last soup 
that's the tldr of bf3
bf campaigns have always been ass
real kuck hours 
it was me
something something you're a superhero soldier where everyone except you dies in a earthquake and you fight your way through an entire army back to safety
What's your favorite mission in bf3?
and then magically escape CIA interrogation conveniently as the train you need to catch is just approaching you
boy who'd have seen that coming
going hunting is the only actually enjoyable mission
the rest are ass
What are they hunting 
men 
Battlefield doesn't really have good campaigns.
Bad co 1 and 2 are the only exceptions.
that mission was like a fever dream
ye
It's kind of nice to see someone elses view on it.
By the way there's another guy named Matto in OCE.
There's a MattoAUS which is the one we know and there's a MattoAU.
bc1 and 2's campaigns are basically carried by the voice actors
Not just that, The characters that they play as.
How they interact.
It's goofy but it doesn't feel totally unrealistic?
yeah I meant that sorry, without their interaction it's just a boring shooter


Their voice acting carried those characters as well.
Never had any issues starting or playing BF2042.
After the most recent update it would sometimes take 3-5 attempts opening the game, for it to even try to start.
Now it opens every time I click to play, but I get stuck on the “connecting to online services” screen every time I load up the game.
I have verified the integrity of my game files twice. Uninstalled and reinstalled once and none of the above have helped.
Has anyone else experienced this issue, or know how to solve it?
Cannot say I have sorry.
It sounds like a network issue.
The EA app is super fucky for me too.
try runnin
Deco reminded me of the final bf3 mission where you jumped through the window of a CIA blacksite interrogation room, which is above a public train track, onto the train you need to catch
That was so fucking stupid

Montes, The support gunner. He voices Mackay.
server maintenance was on today for 12 hours and just finished 40 minutes ago
Did the event end?
ye
that's cause it was a fever dream, it's a re-enactment of the first mission because something something time travel from mission 2 makes total sense
Here I was planning on playing it for the second time after 2 weeks or so 
If got a question. If I bought the 100$ dollars Xbox 1 version of BF2042, if I were to get a series x could I still play 2042 or would I have to buy it again?
you snooze you lose, buster

I need some advice
that event was pretty fecking mid cats
A: yes you can however you can only play the last gen version on the Xbox series X, if you want the next gen version with crossplay etc you will have to get the upgrade
Ahh ok cool thanks.
np
Did you actually enjoy the event tho @patent path 
Anyone?
falck is ok, just depends what gameplay style you prefer
a lil, I only played the mode for the skins, I like the previous event more
my condolences
Idk pick the character that you like the most or the one that looks cool

Rao has drip iirc
he does but his playstyle is very unfun
his hack is virtually the most useless thing
takes forever to hack and can't hack through walls
he has a hack gadget?

unironically the hack is probably the top 5 most abusable gadgets in the game
Is Sundance the best operator?
but he's so boring and unfun to play
That’s what I read
Zain is the best operator if you are good
Sundance isn't the best, she's the most mobile but not the best
there is no best operator
(skill issue)
thought that was an assault thing I kid you not 
hardly ever use it
they are tailored made for diff playstyles, some are designed for casuals, some for hardcore players, blah blah
assaults get 2 more AR mags 
your experience in the older games will not be useful for 2042
Indeed 
the gunplay and mechanics aren't the same, the closest is to bf4, and it's still wildly different
You’re a menace for that what’s the build 😭
I read also Falck is not good which is what I was using
I don’t know which operator to go for
just read what the specialist do
^
Alright
And see if you think it’s pog or not
shouldnt be that hard it's not some game of chess
Total pog
it's not like you are permanently locked in to playing that operator for the end of time
Bruh
unless it's Rao. nothing explains all the things his back gadget does
I pick the most endowed specialist
sounds gay
Gonna use rao right now 
gotta get him some drip
So grandma medic?
There you your getting it 
Hell yeah
if you find a character that’s hot then chose it
Bikini skin when?
I want to go into the battlefield naked
never
Still waiting on catboy Boris and maid angel
u are all terrible
Yup
why even go to war, just airdrop 500 thousand pounds of salt on their crop fields
blowing up a plane full of salt above your crop fields seems counter productivr
although its still not as a cool as the bat bomb
Keep your furry shit out of here you vietnamese bastard! 
I'm not a furry 
Heylo Pedro!
I mean…
I believe the contrary.
Just pretend cleaning your room has a tier 1 badge and you’ll get it done In a day
HAHA
i really want to clean it up.
It becomes real claustrophobic real fast.
Cause it's small.
I want to shuffle everything around again but I dunno in what way.
Do you go for the floordrobe approach
A what?
A floordrobe
Basically when you use your floor as a wardrobe

Ye
lolyougotspawnkilled
Please I believe you loved Geckos you can't do this to me.
We call it a floordrobe
I can't stand that either!!!!!
I must make the messy wessy and then clean it up!
I'm an actual degen.
I need to set up a proper charge port for my mouse charger.
Yeah that's true. I'm not that much of a degenerate.
I love my cat girls but I can't do that to in game characters.
Hear me way
I'm scared.
Anime skin in 2042
It really depends.
BF may be wack but at least it’s mostly tonally consistent
komi inspired 
On what anime 
Pokémon skins
A manga styled weapon skin I'd be down for.
Unlike a certain other FPS franchise
There was this manga famas from cold war that I loved.
If I can get bocchi the glock I’d be happy
I never got it but I would love to see it in this game.
I love the style of manga, With it being black and white.
mm rum
Ah yes I have all the anime skins from that one franchise 😂
I love tacticool to bits.
Not full on milsim.
But just the little things here and there.
My BF5 support late into the game had a gas mask with a berete in this stuffy boy support outfit and I genuinely loved it.
I don't care that it was realistic but I cared that hey, This is a chonker.
Lemme find it.
I've made a Rao guide.
A Guide to Rao's Hack Gadget:
The hack gadget allows players to "hack" stuff. This works based on line of sight and works through smoke from a range of 100-200m depending on target. When a target is hacked it spots every enemy around it in a 10m radius and reveals them briefly.
Rao's gadget can hack 3 distinct classes of target, each with different effects:
Infantry
Vehicles
World interactables
Going from simplest to most complex, world interactables when hacked will simply be activated like if you activated their terminal. Vehicle blockers will be raised or lowered depending on what state they're currently in. Programmable doors (doors which can be given a team affiliation to open or close automatically) will be assigned to your team. These are hacked almost instantly and can be hacked up to 100m away.
This also applies to most gadgets and different gadgets react differently to being hacked. Explosive gadgets like AT mines, claymores, and C5 will just disappear when hacked. Spotting gadgets like TUG-S or Blasco's infiltration beacon will stop working for a brief period, as well as spawn beacons and Irish's shootdown sentinel. Casper's drone can be hacked to make it stop moving, allowing you to shoot it. Ranger drones also become immobile and can't shoot.
Vehicles take the longest to hack and can be hacked up to 200m away. When hacked, it spots all players in the vehicle, damages all parts of the vehicle (making it harder to gain acceleration, steer, move the main gun, etc), and paints the target for lock-on like SOFLAM. On stealth helicopters, this also brings them out of stealth mode. Anyone in the vehicle weapon station has an EMP effect applied to their screen. This effect lasts for 7 seconds and afterwards the target has a firewall that prevents hacking them again for 10 seconds.
Infantry take about .5 seconds to hack and can be hacked up to 100m away. When hacked, all enemies around the target are spotted and revealed for one second through all obstacles including walls and smoke. The hack effect (but not the reveal) lasts 7 seconds. During that time, the player has a warning indicating they're hacked and has an EMP effect on screen. If the hacked player dies during this, the rest of their squad is revealed through walls to you and your squad for the remainder of the hack.

Zain is simple though
Make a guide where one doesn’t use gadgets 
I loved this to bits.
zain guide: press V near enemies and go boom
i just started using zain and he's too good
Play like a normal person and abuse preserverance for maximum benefit.
I only play him for his passive.
Healing on kill literally is unmatched.
It gives you more durability in the middle of a gunfight and you have the killing pwoer of the xm in those super annoying situations.
Also people seem to think you can’t use him when an enemy is on flat ground but just lock the ground itself
absolutely nasty
I used to do it all the time to blow people off cars in off angles.
But now I just don't cause I haven't had to.
Which drip should I go for Zain? Legendary and be done with it?
Having your health immediatetly start to regenerate if you get the kill off in the gunfight is invaluable.
Honestly I’m going to start using him over falck. Falck is just Zain with extra steps
BASED.
I'm glad I got another person in the cause.
We also had this too.
There were some really good combos back on 5.
I mean I rush in, get some kills then heal behind cover. I can just avoid the healing downtime with him. The only other thing to consider is ammo but with an AR it’s practically unlimited
Then you’ve got the XM which feels cheap
The desert one is the sickest imo
Falck is Zain but no damage
The legendary one?
We gotta push those falck tryhards to start using zain
You got the blue hazmat suit?
specialist no ?
Yeah
It's like a desert skin one
How do I become a regular? It doesn’t seem there to be a rank system?
dice please make sure the specialist is more compatible with next battlefield
I like Blasco.
the scoreboard is top of your list dice please
We need regular soldiers with proper customisation.
Personalisation just like that would go a long way.
It takes a very..very long time
Zain just allows you to keep blasting without stopping
you must be very love battlefield rules 1
Kinda wanna post my pics to 
Do it!
sadly I gotta look for them
huh, just had a giant red authentication error pop up
oh yay back to persistence data
Just noticed most of my Reddit pics where some photoshopped made cosmetics
but I do like my Aussie squads 
I just think it’s funny that all of the supposed Aussie outfits are for the US faction
they do wish they were us afterall
US > AUS
Or
AUS > US?
How do you spot enemies?
No dozer 
Controller or Keyboard?
Keyboard
Alright
Q
hay does anyone have a solition to unable to load persistence data error ?
i tried every thing and nothing solve the problem
it is telling me to check my internet connection and it is fine
so any help pls?
Unfortunately this has been a common issue the last few weeks. Is AT&T your ISP?
what is at&t ?
an american telecom company
AYO.
ay no way we can now kick squad members
sit and wait
NO.
YES.
WAY TOO SLOW.

holy mother of jesus dice listened to us
hold your horses people dice actually listened to the community
what a historic moment
now , the more important part, when's 5.2 releasing total?
dont do obvious feature > community complains > do obvious feature > applause
thank you for taking the extra time to complete this task
lul
I'm glad it came but yeah they shouldn't really have held this back.
they realized people would not play if playing with friends was impossible
Holy shit
I can understand squad orders but not this.
like of course im happy but i will be snarky about it
I'd be a hypocrite if I said I wasn't snarky about DICE doing things that I believe they should have.
But I try to be fair.
Add mortars next
