battlefield-2042

[shell ermine]

Not just a server browser, but a rental server program too

[proven obsidian]

^

[next onyx]

2700K hours so I've seen everything.

[proven obsidian]

or game dies

[quick skiff]

Well, theres only so much feces available

[queen dagger]

hardline the best

[shell ermine]

I'll never not be miffed that they didn't have one for BFV

[plain meadow]

[tawny carbon]

BF5 when live support was meh, I love BF1 way more tbh

[fervent rose]

its ok. half the maps are pretty terrible

[proven obsidian]

there is a reason why BF4 is still payable and not BFV

but hey

[ebon pilot]

but you can already host a server for free

[plain meadow]

how's the gunplay tho?

[proven obsidian]

it is what it is

[plain meadow]

gunplay looked good in bf5 ngl

[next onyx]

Would rather free servers.

[shell ermine]

Its not persistent

[next onyx]

YEah bf5 gunplay was ok.

[shell ermine]

I'd rather pay for persistent servers

[plain meadow]

not to shit on bf2042 gunplay

[pearl ridge]

Okay the modelled the extended mag on the pp-2000 and nothing else

[next onyx]

Random recoil was BS and made it inconsistent.

[ebon pilot]

unless you have the battle pass

[plain meadow]

at least it's better

[shell ermine]

BFV gunplay is best in series

[fervent rose]

i think bfv has the most fun gunplay of any bf title but its a divisive topic

[proven obsidian]

Nobody, I mean NOBODY scroll trhough Portal to play this game. Other than the bunch that go for the "MilSim" ones

so no

[next onyx]

Random recoil isn't as hyped as you think but when it wasn't in the way it was pretty good.

[proven obsidian]

stop with this agenda of "it's there, use it"

It's not

[next onyx]

Playing 2042 made me realise the need for actual spread.

So you know.

[patent path]

I do I find the 1942 servers on portal

[plain meadow]

lmg's be gunnin' you down from spawn with lazer accuracy

[next onyx]

It's weird looking back at my older clips and mag dumping some one 80 metres away with the SCAR.

[fervent rose]

i'd still prefer random recoil with good input over 2042's wonky input

[next onyx]

Yeah.

I know where you're coming from.

We'll see if they fix the next game huh.

[arctic grove]

can I please get some help with this? ^^^^

[fervent rose]

the 2042 gunplay is finally getting to a place where it has depth (nearly 2 years after launch) but the input is still not perfect

[next onyx]

We don't know, Sorry.

[quick skiff]

If i could play BF3 in its peak time, i wouldnt play anything else tbh

[shell ermine]

BFV has far better maps than 2042.

Just for Conquest you have Arras, Rotterdam, Panzerstorm, Mercury, Marita, Provence, Iwo Jima, Wake, Pacific Storm, Solomons, and Al Marj that are all good to great

[ebon pilot]

well yea because I don't need a server browser for the games I'm looking for. a fucking computer could find a server for me, why not let it

[next onyx]

It will never be because of that underdeveloped enigne.

The issue with portal is that they pretty much use that for persistent servers and all that shit.

[queen dagger]

xp boosters and milsim players

[next onyx]

They don't actually connect portal with all out warfare.

[mossy badge]

This tell us video games needs time to make around 5 years

[next onyx]

Making it useless.

If it actually connected to all out warfare (And that had persistent player lobbies) then not many people would find the need to complain.

[proven obsidian]

It's actually sad that you think like that after years of what was perceived as normal. Now you lowered your standards to fit this modern era without knowing what you lost in the process.

[shell ermine]

Frankly Fjell and Narvik are the only maps I avoid playing in BFV

[plain meadow]

just give me an operation locker

[proven obsidian]

Anyways.

I'm out, not playing for the week therefore not here.

See ya guys

[plain meadow]

peace

[next onyx]

See ya Keb. Take care.

[fervent rose]

i think you can accomplish a battlefield title in a lot less than 5 years but 2042 was like 15 months

total rush job

[mossy badge]

We all will miss you lad

[queen dagger]

they added nothing to my mp443. atleast give me a laser sight 😢😢

[shell ermine]

Its nuts.

[plain meadow]

mp443?

submachine?

[next onyx]

Yeah I was a bit dissapointed at that, Moder.

Mp443 grach.

Blocky russian pistol.

[plain meadow]

oh ew

no wonder

[queen dagger]

hey way how do u feel about me having more kills with the grach than sfar

[next onyx]

eh.

[plain meadow]

sfar abuser

[next onyx]

You like what you like kek.

[mossy badge]

I heard devs said maps for battlefield games takes time to make so that's why I think 4-5 years is fine

[queen dagger]

im not sfar abuser…

[ebon pilot]

i never liked server browsers. i just want a normal game with no bullshit. games like that can be spun up on the fly

[shell ermine]

I've been playing online multiplayer games since like 2002, I've seen it when games were complete and functional at launch without ever receiving patches

[mossy badge]

But waiting is pain

[fervent rose]

yea like Devastation took close to 2 years supposedly

[next onyx]

brrt.

[fervent rose]

insanely detailed map

[plain meadow]

21.6% accuracy

bruh missing shots left n right

[queen dagger]

im going to reach that one day.. with the m44

[next onyx]

Then you use quick match but stop trying to justify it to keep others from wanting to use it.

[proud kindle]

error when purchasing free 2 battle pass tier?

[queen dagger]

erm.: 21% is good

[shell ermine]

You were never forced to use a server browser in Battlefield post-BF2 iirc

You could always quickjoin

[next onyx]

21 - 25% I've seen is pretty high-ish.

[plain meadow]

honestly

i'm not gonna talk

just looked at my pbx-45 accuracy

and it's questionable

[next onyx]

Oh well.

[plain meadow]

[mossy badge]

Having options is always good

[shell ermine]

Wanting less options because it confuses you is incredibly dumb

[ebon pilot]

quickjoin never worked because it used player hosted games as part of the pool. it never spun up servers on its own

[queen dagger]

i hit 79% of my shots with the sws

[mossy badge]

Sorry yoyoyo

I replied on the wrong text

[plain meadow]

go irish with rorsch and quick peak

[shell ermine]

Pro tip, 2042 doesn't spin up servers when you use matchmaking now

[next onyx]

I had a high HS ratio with my SWS at launch and someone thought I was a cheater.

[quick skiff]

Never looked it up but is karkand in 2042 ?

[plain meadow]

u automatically win 99% of the time

[next onyx]

No.

[quick skiff]

Why did i even ask

[shell ermine]

The underlying structure for a server browser exists in 2042, it's just hidden

[plain meadow]

my kda with irish is like 5.53 atm

[next onyx]

COnnecting to player servers that's an issue. An option to join a server that hasn't been heavily modified would do wonders.

So even if a player server.

It's pretty much almost the base game.

Maybe with a quicker respawn speed.

/higher ticket count.

[shell ermine]

Pretty sure the quickjoin in BF3 and BF4 let you select only servers with official rulesets or did it automatically

[plain meadow]

people been stealing my strat with irish

[untold flower]

first time playing hourglass breakthrough

[ebon pilot]

player servers can lie to the matchmaking servers

[next onyx]

They shouldn't really unless they use an external bot to modify the game rules.

[shell ermine]

It takes like a 3rd grade reading level to be able to effectively use a server browser. It's not greek

[next onyx]

No need to say that.

I do understand where Pizza is coming and that is to just jump into a game instantly.

[queen dagger]

im the ultimate tryhard

[next onyx]

That's fine, Zero issue in that.,

[shell ermine]

I mean its never been overly complicated in the modern games to set filters and find games. It's frankly intuitive, at least in BF1 and BFV

[plain meadow]

the most fun you can have in bf2042 is going irish, using a sniper, quick peak other snipers

[next onyx]

Most fun I've had is with Zain and getting meth on kill.

[fervent rose]

the lack of a server browser would be less of a pain point if the game had a bigger population

[plain meadow]

meth?

[mossy badge]

Kd of 6.6 you must be amazing in CSGO

[next onyx]

A brwoser is needed in regions like OCE and ASIA.

[queen dagger]

i have never played cs

[plain meadow]

cs:S

prime

[next onyx]

I think I have 47K with Zain.

[patent path]

[plain meadow]

Zain abusers

y'all can lick my nuts

[next onyx]

Nvm 50K.

[shell ermine]

Whatever they did to the P90 completely removed its recoil

I didn't have to compensate at all

[next onyx]

Cope.

You're on console there's barely any recoil anyways.

[plain meadow]

oh ok

5.75 kda

not too bad

[drowsy shuttle]

A browser is need in europe too. At 11pm BT servers die because people are spread out in several servers.. if there was server browse we could all jump and queue for 1 or 2 servers and they would be always full. This happened in bf5 and worked like a charm.

[next onyx]

I think KPM is just as important as KD to be fair.

A good KD and KPM work well in tandem.

[shell ermine]

Plenty of guns required barrel attachments and pulling down on the stick to keep recoil centered even on consoles

[fervent rose]

its more important

[plain meadow]

true

[shell ermine]

The P90 now requires nothing

[queen dagger]

my angel

[next onyx]

I can literally go the m5a3 and barely even have to push up my stick to control it with the short barrel.

[plain meadow]

an angel player

[next onyx]

Keep in mind I play on invert to control my recoil.

[plain meadow]

didn't think he'd exist

[unique shoal]

+1

[queen dagger]

im an everyone player

[shell ermine]

I don't understand people who don't invert Y

[next onyx]

Because they don't play on it.

It's not that hard to understand.

[untold flower]

D1 spawn on breakthrough is horrible

[plain meadow]

i'm more of a cringe Paik, Irish and Mackay player

[untold flower]

you spawn as defender and get shot immediately

[plain meadow]

Paik with a shotgun using wh and you just go brrrr

[next onyx]

Yeah nah you call ME cringe then here you are maining paik and Mackay. x.x

OH EVEN THE SHOTGUN.

NAH.

GET HIM.

[plain meadow]

CLOSE QUARTER BITCH

[shell ermine]

Games used to default to invert Y

[plain meadow]

@next onyx hold this

https://tenor.com/view/mayweather-for-you-throw-gif-8082067

[ebon pilot]

The best explanation for why they won't ever add a server browser for 2042 is because the underlying servers for AOW don't actually exist until a set number of players enter matchmaking and need a server to play on. That's why lobbies aren't persistent either. It's easier to have a closed loop and optimize the experience for ping or randomize teams if you re-enter matchmaking each time you want a new game. That means you can spin-up and spin-down servers whenever and wherever depending on the requirements of the matchmaking pool. You can't do that effectively if you need to expose servers for a browser.

[plain meadow]

damn, gif didn't work

[shell ermine]

Both systems can coexist

[next onyx]

Though I don't understand why would they have the system changed in the first place.

You're not exactly breaking ground.

The game is functional with a server browser and player persistent servers.

[plain meadow]

ok

let's forget about 128 even tho that was their whole selling point

and go back to 62

[fervent rose]

i think persistent servers had their own issues and i like how the matchmaker gives us randomized lobbies instead of stale/stacked ones

[plain meadow]

poor hamster on dem wheels can't keep on running

[unique shoal]

No, server instance is created as soon as you are in (waiting for players to join), also how does that stop from adding a server browser? Just list it on the browser after its up ?

[shell ermine]

DICE could've chosen to scramble teams better in BFV between rounds, they just did not

[fervent rose]

also true

[next onyx]

The scrambler didn't work most of the time in my experience but yes.

[fervent rose]

i was team moved in bfv maybe 5 times

[next onyx]

A mere scrambler would have been an alright band aid.

[fervent rose]

played like 800 hours

[next onyx]

I've been scrambled more than a few times.

[shell ermine]

I've left games in 2042 only to get shunted back into the exact same round

[unique shoal]

We have had both (matchmaking and a server browser) in all battlefield, i don't see any point of not having one this time 🗿

[shell ermine]

Don't have to worry about that with a server browser

[jovial slate]

Where did rush xl go

[drowsy shuttle]

That happened to me just a couple of times.. usually the game send me to an half full lobby (or full depending on the time)

[shell ermine]

The black void of fun where Control is hidden

[next onyx]

Disconnected corpo goons always thinking "for the best"

[fervent rose]

if control returns they better do a lot more maps

[queen dagger]

in hardline every match was a noob team going against team stackers. that game had the most broken switch team mechanic ever

[fervent rose]

4 aint cutting it

[next onyx]

6 to 7 would be nice.

[shell ermine]

I think Control should be a candidate for a new core BF mode

[drowsy shuttle]

It would literally help when theres less people playing at late hours... I really will never understand why we don't have server browser, but whatever

[stiff pollen]

It’s literally just SWBF2 as a mode

[unique shoal]

Its 90% doable in portal... They just need to give us control to UI and then 100%

[shell ermine]

Flags didn't change in SWBF2's version of Conquest

The only similarity to Control is earning points for vehicles

Frankly SWBF2's version of Conquest was awful

[ebon pilot]

Most servers are immediately filled and if they don't get filled are filled by the matchmaking service. Plus there's an expectation that servers joined via a browser are persistent. At the end of the game the map selection will rotate. But an AOW server doesn't. So everyone is kicked out and you're stuck having to reselect a server from the browser. Doing that every game would be horrible UX.

[unique shoal]

Searching for a server is such a big task for you?.... Are u a cat for real?

[fervent rose]

i'd like to see caspian, canals, flashpoint, Exposure and stranded

[ebon pilot]

It's not, it's just unoptimal

[fervent rose]

i think all of those could work well for control

[unique shoal]

No😄

[ebon pilot]

I'm a programmer I program computers to do this shit for me

[stiff pollen]

I’m gonna vomit they really made the only LMG with an under barrel launcher SHIT

I’m hoping this is a bad dream and I’ll wake up

[unique shoal]

Im saying just add it, im not saying make it the only way, you can keep using matchmaking

[shell ermine]

I was up stupidly early the other day, 4 am, couldn't find a single 2042 lobby that wasn't laggy as hell. Hopped on BFV and while there were only 4 full Conquest servers everyone had a decent ping in them because the few people who were on at that hour in my region could be sure they'd get put in a server in their region

[unique shoal]

.....and i am the creator of https://bfportal.gg/ and gametools 🗿,
So yh if u wanna go down the programing hole, lets go

[drowsy shuttle]

I dont get the appeal for Control, but I guess that's just me. Played 2 times for get the ribbons to unlock the skins and I still have no idea how that shit works lol I just shot people and destroyed vehicles

[shell ermine]

You got it

[next onyx]

It was fun. IT got really bad round the end for me but whatever.

[ebon pilot]

nice what langs u know

[fervent rose]

i enjoyed it a lot on valparaiso

didnt care for it on reclaimed or orbital nearly as much

[unkempt zephyr]

Can't find any hourglass matches 🤷🏼‍♂️

[unique shoal]

Python, rust, c++,c#, ts, ...more

[ebon pilot]

rust
hell yea

[shell ermine]

Control kinda mixed Conquest and BT. Games started large fighting over a large region and slowly condensed until it was chaos in a good way fighting over a single point

[next onyx]

Reclaimed was fun with the G46.

[fervent rose]

and they added arica for the 2nd week, which was ok

[drowsy shuttle]

Funny that was the worse map for me... not to mention the damn invisible walls... reclaimed was nice.. but then again I really enjoy reclaimed overall.

[unique shoal]

Its alright... There are doing a lot of drama recently so i am switching to golang

[ebon pilot]

idk why it matters though

Error handling in go fuckin sucks

[shell ermine]

Its funny, I hate Reclaimed in BT and Conquest but I enjoyed it in Control

[fervent rose]

as a scar mackay abuser valparaiso is a farm

[shell ermine]

Maybe because it was only 48p

[next onyx]

Everytime programming is mentioned I think about making a mod for Terraria and with how simple it is.

[ebon pilot]

a lot of their APIs are really opinionated or designed in weird ways that lead to shooting yourself in the foot in ways rust or literally any other language would stop you from doing

I'm speaking from personal experience

[static prairie]

I programmed my own website in middle school

✌️✌️

[shell ermine]

I honestly don't get the appeal in shooters in using a wide variety of weapons. I never go for mastery camos or anything.

[unique shoal]

I primarily do backend, so its a banger there

[shell ermine]

Find a groove and stick with it

[next onyx]

It gives people something to do.

[static prairie]

Gaming with just one weapon gets boring imo

[next onyx]

"Hey I completed the game"

[static prairie]

But mastery camo grind in bf2042 is most boring one in any game

[next onyx]

To actually genuinely complete the game.

[unique shoal]

As for rust...it increases the contribution bar a lot...

[next onyx]

I'd poke DICE about a grand mastery camo with actual challenges in it but whatever.

[fervent rose]

its a cool feeling to be able to pick up any gun off of the ground in bf and go to town

[next onyx]

Cause if there was grandmastery assault it'd show off what the playing has gone to.

[shell ermine]

In BFV I use the M1 Garand 90% of the time. Sometimes the STG-44 if the map is particularly CQC, or the Type 100 if I play Medic. But most of the guns in Assault aren't even level 4 yet for me and I've been playing BFV for years

[ebon pilot]

Oh you want to talk about contribution bar, let's talk about writing a serverless runtime in C++ to load and execute JS on HTTP requests

[shell ermine]

In 2042 I don't see a point to use anything but the Scar

[next onyx]

I don't even think that's bad.

[fervent rose]

i felt that way about bfv before the ttk ruining, i could weapon swap with anybody and still enjoy the game

[pine roost]

So hourglass is meant to be 64p?

[fervent rose]

in 2042 i dont wanna use a lot of the guns

[next onyx]

FG42, BAR and Bren were my jam.

Apparently, Bullet.

I mained the m5a3 and m16a3 for the longest time.

Cause they were fun guns.

[static prairie]

Most of the maps are i feel like

[next onyx]

The spread is wank so I'm going to wait until there's some further adjustment for the m16.

[static prairie]

They usually play way better with 64p

[ebon pilot]

We're trying so damn hard to switch to Rust instead of C++ because it's so damn easy to segfault in C++ even with all the fancy C++20 features

[shell ermine]

Even in MWII I'm just running the P90 or the ISO Hemlock 90% of the time

[plain meadow]

wait for a youtuber to address the issue

then it will eventually get fixed

[next onyx]

I main the SCAR hard purely because I love the platform.

[unique shoal]

pretty specific task imo, if someone has a problem with the implementation they probably know what they are doing ☠️, as the general programmer will be like it is what it is

[next onyx]

Same reason I mained the Fg42.

[fervent rose]

i didnt use fg42 enough while it was good

😢

[next onyx]

I used it regardless KEK.

[fervent rose]

pre 5.2 fg42 was a thing of beauty

[next onyx]

My first ever battlefield gun to 10K.

[shell ermine]

Scar is very much a jack of all trades and that's probably why I use it

[next onyx]

Now it's on 50K.

SCAR might overtake it.

But it really depends.

[shell ermine]

Let's me be more anti-vehicle with Assault too

[fervent rose]

scar is the do everything gun

[next onyx]

The g46 shreds.

I love that gun.

[lilac dust]

https://twitter.com/BattlefieldComm/status/1686363354929983489?t=6BMvta5lPOSm_r04vSbwBg&s=19 COME THE FUCK ON ..... JUST COMMIT TO 128 AND DO 64 PLAYER NEXT GAME. IM SO SICK OF THE CONSTANT BACK AND FORTH ON THIS GAME

[unique shoal]

Hang on, are you talking about cloudflare web workers ?

[next onyx]

@proven obsidian It's no longer 128p.

[shell ermine]

I hope 128p doesn't come back

It didn't work

[fervent rose]

no gunship on hourglass? dank

[next onyx]

The only maps I love on 128p is Breakaway and orbital.

[fervent rose]

dice, keep doing that

0 gunship on half the maps thanks

[proven obsidian]

......................

[lilac dust]

The hourglass remake JUST came out and only a few hours in your reverting to 64p......

[next onyx]

Got a bit lucky huh.

Not that I think you'll come back and play but.

[proven obsidian]

You want me to play this huh

[next onyx]

I just found it funny.

[proven obsidian]

[next onyx]

Nah I talked to Alex and got them to reduce it to 64p.

BFD moderator has some semblance of power.

Let's fucking go.

[proven obsidian]

wtf

[next onyx]

For all intents and purposes I DIDN'T.

[proven obsidian]

abuse of power

[next onyx]

I DIDN'T MAKE THEM DO ANYTHING.

[proven obsidian]

im reporting

[next onyx]

:(

Pwease don't huwt me.

I know you're french and you don't like British born.

[proven obsidian]

[next onyx]

But I swear I'm innocent.

Im not a pom.

[fervent rose]

aussie criminal moment

[ebon pilot]

It's not specifically problems other people have but features that other teams want to add. There's like 5 or 6 different teams that all want features in the runtime but they can't really add anything because there's such a large barrier of entry that basically everything gets off-loaded to our team that's maintaining it and trying to prevent it from crashing into the ground every week from segfaults or seccomp violations because V8 decided it really needs to read a file now for some reason

[next onyx]

You're literally American.

[lilac dust]

I'm just gonna wait for season 6. Fuck queuing 128 playlist HOPING i get hourglass.

[proven obsidian]

Mentionned that I'm french. Crossed the line here bud'

[next onyx]

Yeah what you gonna do, Cut off my head?

[proven obsidian]

TOO SOON

[shell ermine]

What was the season 4 map called?

[next onyx]

Hey at least you're not Dutch. They cannibalised their king.

Flashpoint.

[shell ermine]

Its funny, I hated it in 128p but thought it was decent in 64p

[proven obsidian]

[fervent rose]

flashpoint is great with less players, like in Rush

best rush map in the game

[ebon pilot]

128p is a bit too hectic but 64p feels like nobody is there

[proven obsidian]

Is it 64p CQ or just the Hourglass 24/7 ?

[lilac dust]

TF? That map is ginormous.

[proven obsidian]

[next onyx]

48 v48 would be perfect for it.

64p and 128p hourglass share the same layout.

[ebon pilot]

yeah exactly

[proven obsidian]

48v48 is the best playercount a BF game could run

Will never happen

[fervent rose]

it depends on the map

there's no 1 player count is best for all

[ebon pilot]

We need a 96p rotation server in portal for the smaller maps

[shell ermine]

That's one thing I'll give Ground War in MWII. Playercount is variable based on map. Some are 32v32, some are 24v24.

[next onyx]

I'd rather take 40 v 40 or 48 v 48 cause that enables to increase it.

But my issue with them increasing the playercount is that they need to accomadate the maps around it.

And then that requires more time and resources.

Which results in less content.

[fervent rose]

and i maintain that big map = big boring

[shell ermine]

My issue with larger playercounts is that the higher you go the less impact a single squad can make

[proven obsidian]

We all seen where it led us

[fervent rose]

medium map = fun

[shell ermine]

In 64p a single competent squad can turn the tide of a match

[fervent rose]

like Reclaimed is genuinely too small

[unique shoal]

Damm that sounds like a lot of extra work ☠️

[shell ermine]

Or at least keep a flag under control

[next onyx]

Makes me curious about 128p reclaimbed.

Probably be just a RUSH XL situation.

XM370 multikills.

[shell ermine]

I also dislike how while playercount went up, vehicle ratio went down.

[proven obsidian]

The issue was never the playercount in itself. 128 could work fine. It's what come with it and what it implies.

[fervent rose]

reclaimed was supposed to be heavily forested, its a shame they couldnt make that work

[proven obsidian]

But you know...It is what it is

[shell ermine]

You go from a map like Panzerstorm or Iwo Jima to what you get in 128p 2042 and it's laughable

[lilac dust]

Yes reclaimed needs an extra sector to be suitable for 128 but hourglass doesnr deserve the savagery of reverting the 24/7 playlist to 64

[shell ermine]

Its like they don't want Battlefield to be a combined arms shooter anymore so are trying to minimize vehicle play incrementally

[fervent rose]

the most popular bf servers has historically been like that

there are definitely tons of bf players who want a more infantry focused experience rather than the bf4 conquest vehicle experience

[shell ermine]

Its funny because "Strategic" Conquest in BFV has far more active servers than "Tactical" Conquest

[ebon pilot]

Because they all moved to 2042 probably

[shell ermine]

Even though those definitions are odd because I don't see why Arras fits in Tactical

[proven obsidian]

They also forget that you FIRST design the game to be played on foot. Infantry takes the priority i'm sorry to tell that to my vehicles mains but it's true. Then you accomodate the vehicle count PER MAP. You design enough open areas to maneuver them and give flanking routes for BOTH. 2042 suffered and still suffers from plain and barren wastelands for no reason. Even vehicles are not benefiting them.

[fervent rose]

that is the main play button mode

dont over think it, people just hit play

[proven obsidian]

But you know...Battle Royale yatatata, developement hell yatatata, COVID yatatata ...

[ebon pilot]

yatatata

[shell ermine]

Well designed maps balance vehicle and infantry play, I know 2042 doesn't have any well designed maps, but still

[fervent rose]

i just know that in bf2 / bf3 era, stuff like karkand and metro was always popping off

tons and tons of those servers were always up

[shell ermine]

Maps like Provence, Arras, Wake Island in BFV. Great for tankers and infantry players both

[proven obsidian]

Karkand in 2042 wil be ruined by air vehicles because I know they will give condors or little birds for no reason and of course, the main issue : specialists

also explosive spam

wooooooooooooooo

[fervent rose]

karkand would be ruined by mackay instantly

not a good map for 2042

[deep dune]

This game 🤡

[shell ermine]

It doesn't help that armor is paper mache in 2042.

Sure, you could get overwhelmed in BFV by a competent squad if you put yourself in a stupid position but tanks were much more powerful and feared than 2042

Armor has too many counters and not defensive options in 2042

They need to let tanks equip three gadgets, smoke, repair, and then something else on top like trophy system or s-mine launchers

Or some fictional future equivalent to zimmerit paste to weaken C5

[proven obsidian]

2042 killed pretty much every vehicle mains

they either quit or just play because they refuse to go back to old games

[arctic grove]

Is the hourglass rework good?

[shell ermine]

Or just sit back and tank snipe because otherwise you die instantly

[proven obsidian]

with the TOR

great addition btw

[shell ermine]

I do it with HE too on some maps where you can sit up high in the uncap and rain artillery down on flags

[willow sky]

pretty good, plays better but it is also very open

[proven obsidian]

Because of map layouts

[shell ermine]

I T1ed the Abrams by playing BT and sitting in the spawn pelting objectives from safety

[arctic grove]

Yeah I like it better so far it was to empty before

[willow sky]

slightly bothered with there being no flags on top of the buildings

[arctic grove]

Yeah that sucks

[fervent rose]

the rooftop fighting wasnt well designed enough to be an objective point

[warm stirrup]

Anyone try out the squad orders yet?

[pearl ridge]

God the rpg is such a piece of shit

Two rockets and neither of them are going to hit the target

[willow sky]

i lowkey expected there to be a better layout for this rework

...i havent even checked the towers yet, are they the same?

[fervent rose]

i havent checked around much on that

[static harness]

I got the free summer bundle on the store that has 2 Battlepass tiers. How do I get the free tiers?

I mean, it's not showing up on my BP progress

[next onyx]

They should apply after playing a game.

[wanton magnet]

Did they just make the 128 hourglass 64? 😐

The 24/7 option

[pearl ridge]

Why can’t the end screen ever credit vehicles destroyed

It’s always ‘ooh you got ten DMR kills’ instead of ‘you single handedly kept the skies clear’

[patent pivot]

MVP reward screen was a mistake

[remote kiln]

theres your solution

[pearl ridge]

Hacking should disable APS

[shell ermine]

Armor has enough counters

[pearl ridge]

I finally got a friendly engie that coordinated with me to use a javelin in top-attack mode and the fucking thing whiffed because the tank panic-APS’d as I hacked it

[shell ermine]

If anything stuff should be removed

[pearl ridge]

And we couldn’t see the light because of the stupid sandstorm

[untold flower]

is it just me or is it kinda hard to see the red dot when youre adsing in hourglass when the sandstorm kicks in

it kinda blends in with the sand

[arctic grove]

Hourglass should of just been a big Road fighting to the city

[dapper night]

Pretty much which is ironic cuz in 2142 which is set in the future we don't have vehicles like the Railgun Tank or the Stealth Heli

[remote kiln]

isnt just you, the sand is a dark hue red due to the skyscrapers

[fervent rose]

thats the BT layout but it is still kinda meh

[dapper night]

Also the Specialist

[patent pivot]

yeah no

give me back my soldiers

[remote kiln]

oh no specialists, anyways

[untold flower]

good to know lol i thought it had something to do with my graphics settings

[dapper night]

Sundance wingsuit C4 and Mackey C4 goes woosh

[untold flower]

its not that big of a deal since i run falck with ammo box + rpt31 with 200rds

[dapper night]

Agree

[untold flower]

so i kinda shoot and readjust until i get a hitmarker

[remote kiln]

congrats you said something 3000 other people have said for the past 2 years

people acting like this is some revolutionary statement

[dapper night]

Just saying

[dapper night]

If only the increase the amount of rockets that you could bring like 5-6 or 4-5

But nope...

[arctic grove]

A1 boring b1 is really well done played well c1 wow a broken bridge good point d1 check point really good e1 and f1 boring g1 not bad got spot the map score for me out of 10 is 4

[junior wren]

watched a vid about it, i dont think im gonna like it

i quite enjoyed the vehicle rides between points

also no subway area near the buildings? what

[arctic grove]

I like point to be something important a bunker check point bridge base now there just random put on the map it fills

[warm zealot]

https://streamable.com/dfnbri thanks for nothing Alex, LMGs are useless 😋😋

You did it! You saved the game

[pine roost]

Oh god

That’s mad

[dapper night]

Hot take but I hope they don't decrease the vehicle count in 128 Conquest but instead rework the vehicle class and spawn be like in BF3/BF4 Vehicle class and spawn
https://twitter.com/BattlefieldComm/status/1686363354929983489

[pine roost]

Well I guess I’m not using the lcmg anymore

[fickle wharf]

does it get better if you use a bipod ?

[dapper night]

What the hell?!

[pine roost]

It will do

They buffed the spread reduction on bipods in this patch too

Before you at least had the choice to stand up

Now I bet everyone will just be laying down all the time

[warm zealot]

It does but we all knew this was going to happen, this game will unfortunately become bipod camper cancer

[dapper night]

Good to know

[pine roost]

What’s the spread reduction rate like?

[dapper night]

BFV MG42 meta all over again

[pine roost]

Is bursting at all viable?

[fervent rose]

microbursting sucks because of the first 5 shot recoil multiplier but long bursts are viable yes

[pearl ridge]

Man, I’m a support player at heart, but I hate being useless against vehicles.

Everyone else gets something

[junior wren]

being locked into the sfar really sucks

[pine roost]

Smoking them is your best bet

But that’s just how it be since it’s support

[dapper night]

Pick Engineer then but then again the Engineer in this game sucks due to low amount of rockets they can bring

[warm zealot]

Mfw Alex “forgot” or “didn’t care” or worse “can’t understand” how the insane FSRM of LMGs makes bursting NOT POSSIBLE 😋😋

[pearl ridge]

Dude I’ve lost count of how long I’ve played engie

[junior wren]

use like 1 of the only 3 guns with underbarrel AP grenades 💀

[pearl ridge]

Still have super low mastery because their mastery stats have nothing to do with destroying vehicles

Idiotic design

[fiery solar]

Way to go dice for turning the old e1 building on hourglass 180° for the map rework

[patent path]

I see it's back to how it used to be in bf2

lol

[dapper night]

Cuz they try to enforce teamwork (which on paper works but in execution fails) by reducing the amount of rockets that the Engineer could bring. In BF3/BF4 Engineers even if the have a good amount of rockets they can bring they need to rely in Support players which is happening

[pearl ridge]

I can blow them up fine, but I’m still at mastery 0 for Boris because the turret is worthless and should be replaced with something actually relevant

[dapper night]

Boris and Crawford definitely needs a rework something in the line of Anti-Vehicle

[chilly jacinth]

Vulcan turret does fairly well against helis

[pine roost]

all engineers needed in the past was a rocket launcher and a repair tool, don't see any reason why they necessarily need to make the specialist gadgets any more anti vehicle

[pearl ridge]

If it can hit them. Which it doesn’t.

[pine roost]

wait what the hell have they done to healthbars in this patch

they glow

[dapper night]

That is what I'm wondering as well

[pearl ridge]

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, it turns out there’s actually a damage number option that you can turn on now

So that’s real nice.

[dapper night]

Which really helps alot

[pine roost]

that's been there for months

[remote kiln]

something something bursting is too difficult lol

[worthy inlet]

Wait floating damage numbers in battlefield?

[pine roost]

:0 no way

[pearl ridge]

No, on the hud

Like in the last few games where you got score for damage

[pine roost]

can't believe this is totally the first battlefield out of all the battlefield games to have damage numbers visible

[worthy inlet]

Aww

[dapper night]

Man C1 and D1 have a huge empty spaces in the rework

[worthy inlet]

I wanted the rage that would bring

[warm zealot]

My brother in Christ you’re 16meters away from those guys

[remote kiln]

single fire is still a laser beam doesnt matter the range

people just used to spraying and praying for 2 years

[warm zealot]

“Single fire LMG”

[remote kiln]

whats the problem

never single tapped an AR?

[warm zealot]

LMG

Different weapon honey

[remote kiln]

the avancys and rpt are insane at range what are you talking about

[warm zealot]

RPT yes

[lavish stag]

single fire lmg is good if your target is far away i think...

[warm zealot]

Far away means 200+ meters

[chilly jacinth]

You can easily full auto people with lmgs at really far ranges

Unless they changed it now

[vague rivet]

LMG are by nature a burst weapon.... That you can go full auto and spray'n'pray is just a waste of ammo.

...thats RL

...game.... 🤷

[lavish stag]

find a good spot and snipe like a sniper

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/battlefield-gif-4833425

[vague rivet]

From Sn0kens "Mine" video... BF2

no wait.....

That is shanghai map.

[warm zealot]

No one good at the game sprayed and prayed

[vague rivet]

BF4?

[warm zealot]

They maintained aim on target and controlled the already higher than AR spread/recoil

[pine roost]

I'm about 100m out in the range and the rpt still bursts pretty well, but i'm hardly ever out 200m with any lmg

[warm zealot]

I have 21% accuracy with the LCMG w/o bipod and 2.5kpm

I am not spraying lmao

[wide shore]

We’ll all be sure to buddy.

[bitter mulch]

They removed the gunship from hourglass

[pine roost]

nice

unusual dice W

[wide shore]

They also removed 128 from the 24/7 playlist

I didn’t even get a chance to play it

You can still play it in 128 in the normal conquest playlist. But good luck finding it without a server browser

[bitter mulch]

Yes, but tbh 64p is action packed

I like it

[arctic grove]

suppressive fire full auto is a lmg jobe assault rifle are what your talking about more in line but lmg are lay down a lot of fire

[wide shore]

Maybe. But I prefer 128 in this game.

[pine roost]

esports promotion? Don't see that very often these days

[patent path]

Excessive benefits, you say

my ma always says "everything in moderation"

[vague rivet]

The LMG, in RL, is a versatile weapon. Fore single targets.... burst fire. Groups..... Let er rip. And in defensive position it covers many roles, but the main one.... Area Denial fire... or supressive fire....

[pine roost]

okay

[pearl ridge]

I swear, if they just made ground collision a bit more deadly, half these nightbird mains would die very embarrassing deaths

[pine roost]

the terrain can be rather bouncy at times

[robust aspen]

I was so hoping for naval combat in this game.

[pine roost]

in jets it catches you off guard

[robust aspen]

I just wonder why dice fell off and keeps on doing so...

All blames are prob the engine tho

[pearl ridge]

Ashe’s flight characteristics are downright suicidal but he always gets away with it because of the shit physics

[arctic grove]

Yeah wasn’t disagreeing with you was just adding they are use for a lot of fire and bust fire tactics are used on assaults rifles for better accuracy

no dude i played wit h someone with a carreer best of 4 kills

[vague rivet]

I am an old LMG operator and later squad leader..... LMG have a special place in my heart. And DICE..... where the hell is my MG3? 😄

[arctic grove]

anyone has guin recommendations ? I'm done wit hthe PP

[pine roost]

Honestly the flight physics in this game are incredibly forgiving

Have been since the beta

[patent pivot]

theres that persistant data again

[gilded kettle]

ACW is a good weapon.

AC-42 is good too.

[vague rivet]

If you are going assault, i'd say M16... i LOVE it.

[robust vapor]

You'll love M416 too

[vague rivet]

but the other two up ther are good too.

[robust vapor]

[patent path]

m5a3 with 9mm mag and short barrel

season 1 meta

[west lichen]

I don't know why dice didn't give enough attatchments at some vault weapons

[fiery solar]

Is there a small team working on 2042 while the rest focus on a new title

[fervent rose]

yes clearly

or the "full focus" of dice is some paltry shit

[fiery solar]

Full studio working on the trailers and indie developers work on 2042

[pine roost]

At this point the next game could be literally anything, it’s so up in the air

Not just because of the obvious fact that we don’t know anything about it, but things like them saying ‘battlefield will come back all new’ and stuff has me kinda concerned

Like what does that entail

[west lichen]

Just... I want vault weapons have competition with 2042 weapons
But they didn't give full attachments even they didn't buff vault weapons

[glacial quarry]

80% of the funding went into marketing for 2042

20% into actual game

[arctic grove]

i can equip the m16 with 3 different grenade launchers and SHOTTGUNS i'm sol

[fervent rose]

i thought it was just CEO speak its not like hes gonna say "we are gonna do something old"

investor buzzword shit

[pine roost]

wouldn't put it past them

[ebon pilot]

it's fluff

[vague rivet]

That and the burst rate is insane.

[ebon pilot]

it doesn't mean anything specific

[fervent rose]

i expect a reboot with core formula stuff like classes

[ebon pilot]

ew

[fervent rose]

it could be bf6 or bc3

[pine roost]

I expect everything to go wrong

[fervent rose]

who knows

[ebon pilot]

please no weapon locking

[fervent rose]

why is a reboot with classes ew

[ebon pilot]

the one thing i hate

[pine roost]

I doubt they'd return to the same numbering scheme

we've gone from 4, to hardline, 1, V and 2042. Putting out a bf6 would probably confuse a fair few people

[fervent rose]

Right, it could just be Battlefield

boring reboot

[shell ermine]

Weapon locking needs to come back

[pine roost]

I reckon it'll be another one with a date or a named title

[fervent rose]

but if the gameplay is good who cares about the name

[ebon pilot]

why

[pine roost]

I would like it though if they actually kept some of the mechanics from this game

but they seem to be alergic to keeping good features in

[patent path]

[west lichen]

Damnright

[shell ermine]

To reduce homogeneity and allow for more predictability.

With class locked weapons you run into an enemy and see what class they are, you have a pretty good idea what kind of weapon you'll be facing and that changes your tactics.

[pine roost]

or just some features in general...

[robust vapor]

hehe shotgun

[pine roost]

I agree with that, it's something I missed when 2042 launched. But after playing with no restrictions it is simply more fun. A necessary evil if you will

[fervent rose]

i cant really think of much that's brand new to 2042 that i'd want again.

[ebon pilot]

tactics??? 99% of the time you see enemy you shoot enemy there's no tactics involved beyond what you're currently holding

[still vault]

0% of my budget goes into improving the quality of my streams, 100% goes into adding more containers

[west lichen]

I like 2042's run and gun system and game play speed... this make me fun

[glacial quarry]

[robust vapor]

and you're in a container too

[west lichen]

Wow

[robust vapor]

[pine roost]

Going up against a sniper is a good example, you can time your strafes to the rechambering of their bullets and the way you move tends to differ when against a sniper

[robust vapor]

Container 2042

[pine roost]

For me it would be the movement and recoil system (with no glitches and functional mouse input of course)

[west lichen]

Mackay container 2042 lamo

[pine roost]

Against the other classes it's less important but I've found it very useful to be able to know for a fact my enemy has a sniper

[glacial quarry]

dok i added u

[ebon pilot]

that is the only example that i could think of, but at the same time I don't think the recon classes then only had snipers too. so often times you're still stuck waiting to see if the person you pinged that is recon is actually holding a sniper

or just shoot them

[west lichen]

2042's game play speed

[arctic grove]

hourglass breakthough is the biggest piece of dog feces i've played yet

[pine roost]

There were a few instances where they had faster weapons so it was inconsistent, but the chances of it being a sniper was fairly high

[fervent rose]

it feels slower and less fluid than bfv in a lot of ways imo

[ebon pilot]

i want the plus system again

[shell ermine]

I don't

[ebon pilot]

you don't want anything

[robust vapor]

❤️ EA app?

[shell ermine]

It encourages One Man Army shit

[fervent rose]

but hp regen definitely is better than health attrition

[pine roost]

but ultimately the main reason I liked weapon restrictions was how it would create a dynamic team structure, with medics and assaults at the front providing gunfire and healing, with supports providing longer range fire with ammo and snipers who could flank and create spawns. However in all honesty that breaks apart fairly often, so the lack of restrictions feels rather fresh

[robust vapor]

done @glacial quarry

[west lichen]

Really??? Din't you use jump slide jump jump???

[robust vapor]

Might just play a bit and then go to sleep

[radiant prism]

One man army? What? It’s just swapping attachments

[robust vapor]

fucking tired af

[fervent rose]

yes the jumping and bhopping is better, but the slide was more busted in 5

[ebon pilot]

did you not get the RPG attachment yet? very busted attachement for the NTW

[fervent rose]

2042's is ok, but bfv's was nuts

[robust vapor]

So this week I can finally t1 S5 badge

[shell ermine]

Yeah, so you can in one life go from close range stealth, to long range sniper, to anti-infantry, to anti-vehicle

[pine roost]

you had so much control over the slide

but it didn't provide the same speed boost, which I like a lot in 2042

[radiant prism]

That’s…what? That’s not at all how it works

What gun are you using that allows that because I need to use it apparently

[shell ermine]

All by swaping your barrel, sight, UGL attachment, ammo type

[pine roost]

anti infantry is just gun

[fervent rose]

you could play bfv really fast, you just had to get used to some animation jank with the jumpshots

[remote kiln]

If you had to pick one you might pick a smoke UGL and if you ran into a vehicle you'd have to retreat. Now you can just swap to the AP UGL

[paper olive]

@patent pivot

[ebon pilot]

it does 10 damage

[radiant prism]

I fail to see how that’s a bad thing

[pine roost]

don't forget to smoke the vehicle on your way out

[west lichen]

I see. I think it's just a difference of preference.

[fervent rose]

like strafing in bfv > 2042 all day

[shell ermine]

It doesn't promote teamplay and encourages lone wolf behavior

[misty briar]

Played bfv 3 days ago and i felt like a snail compared to 42

[shell ermine]

BFV is just all around better

[fervent rose]

nah play with a lightened stock gun and it isnt like that at all

[ebon pilot]

You can't do anything against vehicles alone with 10 damage shots

[fervent rose]

strafing feels so much better in 5

[ebon pilot]

The vehicle has to be already half dead from your team

[paper olive]

https://i.imgur.com/JqMeeFF.png what happened

[patent pivot]

wot

[paper olive]

did EA ban my ass

[misty briar]

Ye ue banned

[radiant prism]

I mean, an UBGL can fire different types of grenades, if you have an UBGL you should expect to be able to do stuff with it lol

Who runs smoke UBGLs anyways? Side note

[ebon pilot]

it's just a general failure, try repairing your game, resetting your internet, etc etc

[fervent rose]

very few since it dissipates almost instantly for whatever dumbass reason

[pine roost]

Battlefield is live on twitch btw

[shell ermine]

Take the M39. You can spec it out with a fusion holo, suppressor, and foregrip and it's great at mid and close range.

You can also then swap to a high magnification scope, bipod, and muzzle break and then you've got a long range sniper.

There is such a thing as too much freedom in a squad based class based shooter

[ebon pilot]

i think you're overestimating how good the m39 is at close range

[shell ermine]

Its also why I hated the all class weapons in BF3 and 4

[ebon pilot]

you will die going up against an smg

[fervent rose]

m39 kills in 200 ms

[shell ermine]

Skill issue

[fervent rose]

if you dont miss its one of the fastest deaths in the game

[glacial quarry]

uh

the new hourglass BT sucks

[radiant prism]

Yes, you can swap stuff out to help guns do better in certain scenarios, but at the end of the day you’re never turning the M39 into an SMG. You’re vastly overstating how effective the plus system really is

[glacial quarry]

its too easy for the offense lol

just a steamroll no cover

[shell ermine]

The M39 deletes, I T1ed it the fastest of any gun I've used in this game almost exclusively in Control

[radiant prism]

It’s always like that, people figure it out eventually and it becomes more balanced

[fervent rose]

i think bt hourglass is slightly better but its still hourglass

[radiant prism]

How is the rework btw? Don’t have time to play rn

[glacial quarry]

its so open

[fervent rose]

still a bunch of disconnected buildings with poorly laid out assets / line of sight

[glacial quarry]

theres no good points to defend lol

everything is in the open

[drowsy shuttle]

BT hourglass was always better than conquest, even at launch.

[radiant prism]

I mean it’s a desert map, openness is kinda expected I feel

Like are we talking vast swathes of nothing? Or just some distance between pieces of cover

[fervent rose]

i just wish the city space wasnt 100m+ between buildings

[glacial quarry]

its just too easy for the offense imo

[ebon pilot]

actually, a shotgun would kill faster

[fervent rose]

who knew

[radiant prism]

People will figure it out eventually, this happens every time a new map releases

The offense steamrolls for a while but people eventually figure out how to effectively defend

[fervent rose]

the final sector for BT is a lot harder for attackers than before, since its 2 point

[radiant prism]

It’ll get better after a couple weeks

Also yoyoyoyo you’re still hacking my account on my screen lol

Discord be functional challenge (impossible)

[ebon pilot]

(it's written in go + js)

[glacial quarry]

how bad is the lmg spread now

also is the ak74u op now or what everyone is using it

[fervent rose]

idk but have you seen the k30 yet

thing recoils LEFT now its so weird

[hallow sierra]

it still sucks that it doenst have tac comp

[glacial quarry]

is lmg spread worse now

[fervent rose]

i assume yes, i gotta try them out next

[radiant prism]

Why do I feel like I’m gonna get on later and it’s gonna be completely fine

[cinder flint]

Dice trying not to break something after fixing another thing completely unrelated

[glacial quarry]

@robust vapor look who is in my lobby

[fervent rose]

everything is "fine" in this update, but dont be expecting hourglass to blow your mind or anything

[robust vapor]

HOO SHIT FREE WIN

That is if he's capable in conquest

'3'

[glacial quarry]

how is this cunt not banned yet

[robust vapor]

idk man DICE security issue

[radiant prism]

Sounds about right

[ebon pilot]

(programming moment)

[fickle wharf]

Anyone else gettin errors?

[robust vapor]

I'm only playing hourglass for the mission

once that bonus mission is done i'm out

💀

[radiant prism]

That’s just programming lol

[fervent rose]

i only played a little so far but i like the new BT over the old one

[glacial quarry]

the new bt is trash

too easy for offense theres no defendable spot

[fervent rose]

hourglass 1.0 was a disaster so this isnt a difficult change

[radiant prism]

Ok I’m gonna go see if my discord needs an update so I can see yoyoyoyos message again

[glacial quarry]

im in a defense game with a hacker rn and 10 dollars say we lose

[radiant prism]

fixed it

Yay

[cinder flint]

I wonder when the next bf is coming out

[radiant prism]

Oh god I hate this new discord mobile eewwwwwwww

[hallow sierra]

bt in a nutshell

[glacial quarry]

bro how badly did they nerf lmg

the spread feels a lot higher now

[warm stirrup]

Smg & lmg are trash now
AR meta is back

[glacial quarry]

guess its time to say bye to lmg

[untold flower]

being put on defense means you already have a higher chance of losing

[untold flower]

dafuq

ive played with u on my squad

LMFAO

[sharp marten]

How’s the Reworked map boys?

[warm stirrup]

Conquest is ok, breakthrough favors attackers

[glacial quarry]

@untold flower ya that cuntdami guy's been hacking for months

dice's dogshit anti cheat somehow havent detected it

[untold flower]

i dont think ive seen him before

the only blatant cheater ive encountered regularly is the mrbazzazza guy

[glacial quarry]

seen him a million times

[ancient peak]

As if it ever truly left

[glacial quarry]

dogshit hacker lol

typical crawford L

[drowsy shuttle]

Just like BT in bf 2042... its unbalanced since launch. And always will be

[warm stirrup]

Anyone else notice they changed the conquest playlist from 128 to 64?

For hourglass?

[drowsy shuttle]

They said earlier they will do it

[warm stirrup]

Ah

[drowsy shuttle]

Also changed the number of vehicles

According to feedback from yesterday's event

[fervent rose]

@glacial quarry tons of spread added

just wall tested lcmg, lmg is no longer insane

[livid tusk]

I wish programmers would actually go to a gun range and fire some real guns to understand how the physics works.

[warm stirrup]

Smg & lmg are trash now
AR meta is back

[still vault]

Suuure, that's how programming gameplay works

[fervent rose]

yea, sure, use the ARs

[livid tusk]

yes, you can build your own data tables for beginner to advance based on control of the firearm.

[patent path]

real guns wouldn't be fun in-game

[radiant prism]

Except H3VR! That’s fun.

[livid tusk]

the data from them would be.....I can tell you that my first experience with an m16 versus 5 years later - significant improvement across all distances.

[patent path]

5.56 guns would be laser beam while .308 and 7.62 would be bouncing all over the place

[livid tusk]

not really. .308 is controllable. I have used a SCAR-H and they are pretty easy to get down.

[calm bison]

Did they remove the ranger from Hourglass 64p?

[topaz field]

We need more rain and sandstorm ,

[warm stirrup]

We need a map with a blizzard weather effect

Like the sandstorm but snow

[livid tusk]

More urban maps. So many good BF4 maps out there.

[warm stirrup]

Anyone try using the squad orders yet?

Squad leader menu

[grizzled island]

Wait. did they remake hourglass to be a 64 player map?

[warm stirrup]

It was 128, they changed to 64

[robust vapor]

HappyD0kNoises

[grizzled island]

bruh

[robust vapor]

[grizzled island]

what the fuck. the stadium was great

[noble scaffold]

What happened?

[grizzled island]

I literally had a good time last time once in 128 fighting over the stadium for a whole game

[warm stirrup]

Has anyone tried the rush or tdm variant of hourglass yet?

[patent path]

I've been spamming hourglass BT because it's fun af

[grizzled island]

there's a portal map of 128 for it right now

[robust vapor]

M60 with tactical comp and fusion holo is lit

💀

[fervent rose]

it has both 128 and 64 but its the same layout

[warm stirrup]

The official playlist was changed tho

[grizzled island]

thats what pisses me off

the stadium is completely gone

[arctic grove]

the m16 is great

[grizzled island]

it just annoys me. the stadium could've been moved closer but no

[remote kiln]

no they just made the playlist 64, it is in rotation for the 128 playlist

[grizzled island]

the 128 map is the same

they literally butchered it

[ocean widget]

map should be deleted from the game

[grizzled island]

all they had to do was squeeze the map together and thats it. they didn't have to completely remake it to something else entirely

lmao is the stadium even part of breakthrough?!

[ocean widget]

i played map 4 times so far, everytime as defence and we annihilated them every time (rush/breakthrough mode)

[cold beacon]

bro this map sucks rn

[drowsy shuttle]

according to them, old gen couldn't handle the stadium

[cold beacon]

it just seems like a lazy move

one map

to rework

in the whole season

[grizzled island]

so???

[cold beacon]

and they couldn't move anything a bit

[grizzled island]

IT'S STILL RENDERED IN THE MAP

I need to check tdm

[cold beacon]

they just made some: oh, explosion that, bridge explosion

[warm stirrup]

Why so obsessed with the stadium? It's like seeing a kid get their room cleaned by their mom but complain about their favorite toy missing lol

[cold beacon]

yeah, sure. Good work DICE

[arctic grove]

Hourglass 2.0

[cold beacon]

because it worked, people were going there, because it was one of the places, that actually wasnt an open space with emptiness

[arctic grove]

I want Silk Road at this point tbh

[robust vapor]

The stadium is where I play my guitar

[cold beacon]

and rn, the map just looks like it got cut a bit and they threw "some" changes

[drowsy shuttle]

same lol and i'll add i was never a fan of the interiors of the stadium.. sure was cqb but wasn't nothing especial...

[grizzled island]

because it was a good map for close quarters. I had tons of fun defending and attacking that part of the map. also dice isn't going to fuck you for defending them you shill

[robust vapor]

You can remove the stadium but leave my guitar alone

What did my guitar ever do to you

[grizzled island]

LMAO TDM IS IN THE CITY

Why is the stadium rendered in the fucking map?

[willow sky]

at least we watched the world cup in the stadium

[robust vapor]

Yus

FIFA 2042

[grizzled island]

Holy shit what a waste of assets

[cold beacon]

for real man

[warm stirrup]

Who hurt you?

[arctic grove]

Hourglass is a waste of Empty Space

[cold beacon]

literally

[grizzled island]

What the fuck were they thinking lmao

[arctic grove]

Battlefield community in a nutshell

[drowsy shuttle]

its impossible to please greeks and trojans

[cold beacon]

if they added ANY, I mean ANYTHING to those empty spaces

It'd have been alright

[radiant prism]

No one knows what they want? Typical

[cold beacon]

but its empty a** space

[arctic grove]

Like i said, We might as well gotten Silk Road

[cold beacon]

fr

[grizzled island]

this literally looks like they just had a desert and threw whatever sticked for their maps

it's like making a halo map in forge with the objects you have

[cold beacon]

they cut out a village, a stadium and they said: okay, Rework complete

[hybrid totem]

Hey, they added two underground tunnels.

[cold beacon]

TOTALfps said few days ago they were finishing the rework, so seeing how little changes they've made

[grizzled island]

they didn't even remove it from the map so you didn't have to render. they kept it anyways. it doesn't even do anything

[cold beacon]

I think they didnt even care

[arctic grove]

To be fair tho, 2042 is being run by a skeleton crew so they dont have the man power to make a good map.

[cold beacon]

I dont even think they've put much work into it

[grizzled island]

Manifest should've been the last map. it wasn't as shit and hourglass should've been focused first

[misty portal]

new map seems good to me tbh

[pine roost]

the reality of it is that hourglass was rigged from the start

[willow sky]

Summer Sale got me

[cold beacon]

bro all that build-upo

to be the best map: Hourglass

the last rework

and they turned it to sht

[grizzled island]

if anything. the 2042 advertising with hourglass is now just misleading advertisement

you won't be in a stadium anymore

and the cqc part is gone. the stadium is fine. It was great for 128

[drowsy shuttle]

best part of the stadium was the roof in BT 128p back in the day, where you could start there as attackers and then boy oh boy.. my SWS had a freaking feast every time.

Imagine being an EA Play member

[patent path]

[arctic grove]

[patent path]

I don't have to imagine

Gamepass W

[arctic grove]

Facts

[grizzled island]

btw.. the "good" post is still criticising the game but is coping at the removal of the stadium. so it's not really the opposite

[arctic grove]

CONFIRMED: John Goodman will star as "Boris" in the upcoming film: Battlefield 2042 The Movie

[arctic grove]

Fair point

[vague rivet]

I laughed hard when i saw that. 😄

[arctic grove]

Bro there are good actors for specialists.

We got jake gyllanhal for mackay

Rhianna for Sundance

[static prairie]

Falck lowkey hot

[jovial slate]

Is that the battle points currency

[static prairie]

Maybe scarlett will play her

[vague rivet]

Don Cheadle (younger) as Irish.

[jovial slate]

Are you able to get the two tiers thing, It keeps saying error for me

[robust vapor]

Sir that's the current season badge

For you to display on your player card

💀

[jovial slate]

No yeah but like it said you need a number of battle points to get it

[robust vapor]

Different seasons different looking badges

[arctic grove]

It be perfect for a flashback battle scene

[robust vapor]

Keep playing the game and complete weekly missions

Do all and repeat until you get the badge like I do

New week new missions

[static prairie]

U get points by completing weekly missions and grinding xp

[jovial slate]

No, it says get 1150 battle points, is that the points to progress through the season or the ingame currency you earn from it

[arctic grove]

We got this guy to star as Angel

[robust vapor]

ⁿ⁰

[static prairie]

Lmfao id love this

[vague rivet]

....AND. Forget about having a life.... and btw... Get a shit bucket. 😄

[robust vapor]

Maximum display points is battlepass tier 100 which is 1000 points

Past that limit you can keep getting points all the way until you get the badge

[arctic grove]

NGL i can see Battlfield 2042: The Movie being a movie hit tbh

[untold flower]

D0K

[vague rivet]

Me too. Focus on the story behind the 2042/2142 timeline....

[untold flower]

my dear minecraft duck

[robust vapor]

Wtf no pls

[jovial slate]

Yeah if it is directed well but the lore behind it is really cool

[robust vapor]

[arctic grove]

It has alot of potential as the Exodus video shows but i think DICE abandoned the lore.

[jovial slate]

Well its not so that they abandoned it since the past seasons were related to Oz who seems to be the storys villain

[radiant prism]

It seems like there’s a setup for more stuff coming soon with this time jump? Seems like the start of a new storyline

[jovial slate]

Possibly like a season 6 is already on its way till like sept

[radiant prism]

I hope so

I mean, more story means more seasons

[arctic grove]

Agreed. New story line so no more 2042 lore details.

[radiant prism]

New storyline still with the 2042 lore

It’s still the same characters, it’s just 5 years on from last season

[arctic grove]

ahh i see

[radiant prism]

We’ve jumped from 2043 to 2048 canonically

The silver spear arc concluded at Flashpoint in 2043

We’re now picking up on things in 2048 this season

Granted

2042’s lore is a bit tough to follow but I’m a dork and a lore junkie so I’ve managed to pick up on it since I’m looking for it

[misty briar]

did they break the ammo boxes

[untold flower]

no

[misty briar]

a mate cant reload gadets on it when he doesnt need main ammo

[untold flower]

what

[misty briar]

what i siad

[untold flower]

i can

[misty briar]

said

[untold flower]

i can reload my sph

[misty briar]

well maybe unlucky

[untold flower]

with full ammo primary

[misty briar]

aight

[fervent rose]

at least that's an easy bug to work around, just shoot some bullets

[misty briar]

ye

[radiant prism]

I’m always shooting anyways lol

[misty briar]

maybe it was kind of a visual bug

[fervent rose]

also very possible

[radiant prism]

I need the ARs with reserve bonus or I run out of ammo lol

I’m a bit trigger happy
