[drowsy shuttle]

Let's see how hourglass plays out

[arctic grove]

Horribkle

[drowsy shuttle]

Same attackers right? Is still US that attacks?

[wide shore]

Why is this edit so hard

[woeful gust]

I think I might miss the stadium. It'd be cool if they brought it back in a game mode

[sand jewel]

Because it simply is

Verdict on the Hourglass rework so far?

[fervent rose]

it's hourglass

[sand jewel]

Accurate.

[patent path]

https://tenor.com/view/vector-gif-26416642

[vague rivet]

As far as i have heard.... Its in there somewhere.... 😄

[smoky python]

Heavy sniping fan, how come it feels like assault rifles have a further range then some of the bolt action snipers.

[vague rivet]

... I have not played it yet.

[sand jewel]

I’ve heard the open map is going to simply be an EMKV-fest

As a vehicle-enjoyer…this fills me with utter despair

[arctic grove]

Because 2042 has the potential to be a badass game.

[drowsy shuttle]

Well so far I see they didnt fixed the thermals yet

[sand jewel]

Fixed? Wdym?

[fervent rose]

well any tank map in 2042 is going to have the potential to be a tor shitter fest but they already reduced the vehicle count

[drowsy shuttle]

Thermals have hit reg issues

[sand jewel]

Ah

[fervent rose]

and they took out the gunship helis

[sand jewel]

I still don’t know how the hell you’re supposed to take out a TOR that’s just sitting at spawn, sieging away

[cinder flint]

Helicopter

[drowsy shuttle]

Sundance + c5

[fervent rose]

it's not your fault, it's poorly designed

[sand jewel]

I don’t think I have enough C4 for it

[sand jewel]

It’s that simple? Huh. I’ll have to try that next time

Assuming my aim isn’t dog for 5 seconds 🤣

[fervent rose]

that does work if you can get an angle to fly at them ye

[charred stag]

Is it just me or was the K30 changed to have more horizontal recoil than vertical

[sand jewel]

The K30 is still widely used?

I thought it fell out of favor

[fervent rose]

k30 is now the weirdest gun in the game yep

[charred stag]

I was just testing out the changes made for all the smgs and of all the smgs,only the k30 has excessive horizontal recoil

I wonder if it's a bug or intentional

[fervent rose]

just shoot a full mag at the wall it's like 20% vert 80% horizontal

[shell ermine]

P90 seems to have no recoil at all

[wide shore]

AKS got an extendo mag and fusion Holo. I’m fucking here for it

Shame it didn’t get better grips

Or even muzzle devices.

Other than suppressors

[fervent rose]

the lmg spread is wild i did a test at 90m, the spread cone is like twice the height of a player and 5 times as wide

[charred stag]

I'm pretty sure it's because between the p90,aks and that other small smg,can't remember the name, aks was the most balanced in terms of recoil

[ebon pilot]

Options:
Another TOR
Sundance + C5
Any AtG missiles (unless they're irish)
Stealth heli

[fervent rose]

basically you must combat op with op

or suffer

[hybrid totem]

Nightbird and attack chopper work too.

[untold flower]

as far as realistic gunplay goes the vector should have almost no recoil

[ebon pilot]

example clip of Sundance + C5 #battlefield-2042 message

[charred stag]

Eh well I think most people care about balance and fun rather than realism

Also for the tor

I just like to use Mackay, get in a transport heli,tell the pilot to fly over and jump out with C5

[untold flower]

thats why most games with the vector add alot of vertical recoil to it

but thats not how the gun works

[fervent rose]

games also dont make shotguns work how they do in real life and the games are better for it

[ebon pilot]

Ehh nightbird isn't that great at killing heavily armored stuff

[fervent rose]

shotguns dont stop at 10-15m

[hybrid totem]

Have you ever tried to orbit... anything with AGMs?

[fervent rose]

but its good for game balance that they do

[charred stag]

I think the only one that actually did it right was warface in terms of realism. But that's why the vector is the most hated gun in the game

[untold flower]

unless its a milsim realistic shooter

[hybrid totem]

nightbirds are a scourge.

They can orbit around a wildcat faster than its turret can turn.

[ebon pilot]

Yeah, but it's not that good. It takes quite a while. You'd have better luck dropping a full round of HE bombs on it and then finishing it with an AtG from a stealth heli

[hybrid totem]

It takes four AGMs.

[tacit sphinx]

warface is one of the games of all time

[charred stag]

Nightbird is useful as long as no one is around to screw you over

If you try taking out a tor

[hybrid totem]

If only the nightbird mains agreed with you.

[charred stag]

And there's a player with rockets

You have to worry about them as well

[tacit sphinx]

me when rent guns for real money

[drowsy shuttle]

M39 is still a fucking beast. Noice. Keep it that way, dice.

[shell ermine]

Wildcat needs the 20mm AA in its second seat

[chilly jacinth]

most players cant even hit the broad side of a barn with a rocket

i wouldnt be worried if i was a pilot

[smoky python]

despite my hate for having "heroes" i kinda wish they had interchangable abilities to choose from

[shell ermine]

I miss spawning in a Valentine AA, hitching up an AA cannon, and me and my squadmate driving around the map melting planes

[charred stag]

If they ever bring back the specialists because of EA,they should at least have different characters on each team instead of having them fight each other

[hybrid totem]

"You can only play the characters you want to play half the time!" -EA

[smoky python]

I blame EA tho for this game being a dumpster fire sometimes.

[charred stag]

It's mostly their fault

They wanted to monetize way too much

[smoky python]

Dice just has to take the punch unfortnately

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah similar to mw2

[chilly jacinth]

game design is definitely Dices fault

[tawny carbon]

EA is the main cause of why the devs can’t do certain things.

[chilly jacinth]

and so is the mw2 situation

[charred stag]

Game design,maps,lack of weapons,all of that is dices fault

[chilly jacinth]

infinityward is completely detached from their playerbase

living in fantasy land

[tawny carbon]

Sadly, and they don’t give a fuck^

[tawny carbon]

I mean 2042 overall isn’t a bad game, no cap. It also isn’t the best game.

[charred stag]

I'm pretty sure with Activision being bought out by xbox,Phil is probably going to clean house

[shell ermine]

From their terminally online loudmouth playerbase maybe

[charred stag]

The story behind 2042 is interesting. Especially since it's the first time the US is considered the villains in a battlefield game

Or any fps game that I know of

[shell ermine]

The only real issue with MWII is the perk system

[drowsy shuttle]

Trying too hard to please fortnite and apex legends audience

[chilly jacinth]

[tacit sphinx]

i mean
game not in a great position, various broken things
everyone is aware and talking about this
solution: add extreme RoF automatic shotgun

[tawny carbon]

The real and the main issue with Activision is WZ

[tacit sphinx]

and also nicki minaj and homelander

[charred stag]

Seriously. They need to let warzone go

[smoky python]

Nah EA is the issue dice is fine

[shell ermine]

People play Shipment and get a skewed view on how the game works and balance

Shipment amplifies small issues into massive ones in that environment

[untold flower]

true

gave up on mp too soon

[fervent rose]

mw2 had a similar plot point

[untold flower]

most people didnt buy the game to play wz

[fervent rose]

the orignal one i mean

[tawny carbon]

I mean, why bother trying to save a non community feedback game. They don’t care about us either way.

[shell ermine]

The No Pats are the villains

[tawny carbon]

^

[chilly jacinth]

some of them

not all of em

[charred stag]

Yeah but not to the same level since it was just shepherd. The rangers weren't bad

In 2042,I believe from the Easter eggs and the audio you hear,it was the US that started the blackout but they refused to take responsibility

[tacit sphinx]

the nopats are not a monolithic group and i don’t think there’s a specific faction you can reduce to “the bad guys”

[shell ermine]

No Pats sabotaged the climate repair machine, caused the Blackout, and triggered ww3

[tawny carbon]

lol, WZ is free. It’s a nice concept. The real issue is forcing every cod game to revolve around it. That’s what made blackout, blackout. It’s only the base game itself. Nothing else

[tacit sphinx]

oddly russia seems generally not to be doing anything particularly egregious within the lore lol

the US caused the blackout?

[shell ermine]

Not that it matters, the 2042 story is as solid as wet toilet paper

[untold flower]

yeah kinda my point, they drop mw2 for 70-90+ and give wz more updates than mp

[vague rivet]

Oh god.... I play gammes to get away from real world politics... and now we have in game politics...... 😄

[tawny carbon]

You have politics every where you go. You’re not escaping from it.

[charred stag]

I mean most fps games revolve around politics so

[hybrid totem]

Most fps games revolve around shooting in first person.

[tacit sphinx]

i miss when games weren’t about politics like wolfenstein and fallout

[woeful python]

yep politics the excuse for war

[drowsy shuttle]

First match on BT hourglass (as attackers) is not bad.. not much different than before, but its better.. last sector is harder to cap but when people figure it out best flanking routes and all that will be easier I think.. either way it's good that at least 1 sector is easier for defenders... so, again, only 1 match (and lost) map seems OK.. but I admit I was expecting better.

[fervent rose]

yep exactly. it's fine but underwhelming

[woeful python]

yep

[charred stag]

I do like how we get more action near the skyscrapers

But rip the stadium

[arctic grove]

Stadium was a good CQC spot

[woeful python]

fr that was a lot of fun just spend the time to fix the flow no need to make the map smaller

[hybrid totem]

Stadium would have been amazing in breakthrough.

[drowsy shuttle]

Imo breakaway had the best rework from all the og maps.

[charred stag]

Ehhh yes and no

[tawny carbon]

Is dice making 2 maps per season now since all reworks are dong? Or it’s 1

[arctic grove]

^^^^^^

[fervent rose]

I think that goes to Orbital

[arctic grove]

It has been confirmed 1

[hybrid totem]

We'll be lucky to get one per season, and we'll be luckier if it's not 64p only.

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔

[woeful python]

Why didn’t they make maps played just for breakthrough like in bfv in bf2042? Some of the best maps in that game were breakthrough only.

[arctic grove]

Again, 2042 is run by a skeleton crew so expect bare bone minimum.

[woeful python]

bfv had great maps

[tawny carbon]

Since reworks are done, they should focus on the game more, right? Set of half and half.

[charred stag]

Will we be seeing more vault weapons now or is that it for the vault weapons?

[fervent rose]

none of them were BT only, but some were bt designed at least ye

[shell ermine]

No maps in BFV were BT only

[fervent rose]

like Iwo was made for BT clearly

[shell ermine]

The only exclusive map was Lofoten Islands for TDM/Dom

[fervent rose]

provence too originally

[shell ermine]

Thank God they changed that

Provence is one of the best CQ maps in the game

[wide shore]

Wish lofoten got that change too. It had a lot of unique assets only seen elsewhere in firestorm

V still had so much potential man

It’ll never not be sad

[drowsy shuttle]

Either way I preached here many times that hourglass would be (after rework) one of the best if not the best map in the game. So dice failed me... they should post the Alfred from batman gif "you trusted me, and I failed you"

[fickle wharf]

Anyone else getting errors when joining a kaleidoscope match?

[solar marten]

Imo, the No Pats are terrorists

[shell ermine]

Conquest Assault is better than BT anyway

[fervent rose]

i think i will no longer dread playing it as infantry which is a positive change

[woeful python]

really? lol I guess my memory is not working but my point is that it felt like in bfv they made more maps just for a single push or smth like the push on province

[tawny carbon]

I wonder what 2042 dev plans are now since reworks are done….

[shell ermine]

Wake Island CQ is better than all of the BT maps in BFV

[solar marten]

No Pats, more like, No Bitches

[wide shore]

Hopefully 2 maps in season 6

[quick skiff]

Uhm where is normal conq ?

[white geyser]

The rework of hourglass I can’t wait to play it again, I took a break playing BF 2042 until any updates announced

[wide shore]

Right there in the conquest section

[quick skiff]

Well its only hourglass and 128

[wide shore]

128 is normal conquest

[woeful python]

thats just your preference I think bt is by far the best mode conquest feels pointless and dull to me

[solar marten]

shoutout to dice for the update

[tawny carbon]

A lot of good feedback so far I’ve seen. Need some tweaks and stuff.

[fervent rose]

64 player conquest is benched while hourglass 64 conquest is in the rotation

[quick skiff]

I guess what i ask is where is normal 64

[wide shore]

What yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo said

[fervent rose]

itll be back soon

[tawny carbon]

Hourglass 128p when?

[wide shore]

It was early this morning

And they changed it

[ebon pilot]

fr, 64p feels too empty

[drowsy shuttle]

Wait, didn't they say they removed the frag nades from support class? Or I dreamed?

[ebon pilot]

you dreamed

[fervent rose]

nah just default loadout stuff

no removals

[wide shore]

No. Just that they replaced it as default with the smokes

[drowsy shuttle]

Aahh gotcha

[tawny carbon]

Really? Sheesh 🙄 no wonder why I always main 128p vs 64p. 64p always suck in my opinion

[hybrid totem]

Yeah not like sundance.

[wide shore]

Maybe now medics will learn how to throw smokes before reviving

[wide shore]

Only good on the throwback maps. And Flashpoint

[drowsy shuttle]

Ahahahahahah that's funny.. but I like your hoping spirit.. you are more positive than me

[ebon pilot]

not even flashpoint even it feels empty on 64p

[wide shore]

I’m just huffing the copium

[white geyser]

Finally they updated the portal by adding breakthrough mode, I didn’t even notice it since I was too busy in solo/co-op grinding the guns they added

[shell ermine]

Nope, you'll just get 25% revives in the middle of combat and you'll like it

[wide shore]

I feel like flashpoint is too hectic on 128

[tawny carbon]

Og BF maps, I agree. Overall 128p on top atleast for AOW maps

[fervent rose]

nah i think you're right with how unaware the avg player seems. we'll see more smokes

dice did us a solid with that default swap

[ebon pilot]

it is, but it's empty on 64p. There's a balance in there, probably 96p

[drowsy shuttle]

OK which specialist/class should I play? I'm bored

[ebon pilot]

Zain

[drowsy shuttle]

Hum ok

Now which weapon?

[fervent rose]

Crossbow

[wide shore]

M60

[chilly jacinth]

use his gadget as your main gun

[wide shore]

Since it’s got attachments now

[drowsy shuttle]

Not fair... thats my favourite lol

[fervent rose]

Ha nvm then

[drowsy shuttle]

I already t1 the m60

But..

[chilly jacinth]

gvt

[fervent rose]

aksu

[drowsy shuttle]

Aksu it is

[fervent rose]

report back on if that gun is still poo poo

[wide shore]

Has a 40 rounder now

[drowsy shuttle]

Why tou hate me? (Actually I enjoyed t1 the gvt a lot back in the day )

[drowsy shuttle]

I will

I need to t1 the aksu so noice choice

[tawny carbon]

Is this you?

[wide shore]

Yes

How’d you find that gif of me

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔

[tawny carbon]

The government top secret files. It was password: Password12345

[drowsy shuttle]

Not many attachements for the aksu btw.. especially for grips

And muzzles

Damn

Lol

[wide shore]

Yeah. But it does have the fusion Holo and 40 round mag

[drowsy shuttle]

That's true.. 40mag will be nice

[fervent rose]

fusion holo on all the smgs is nice

[tawny carbon]

Fusion holo on everything is good

[drowsy shuttle]

I dont think I will use grips on the aksu.. I mean why I would want to use the cobra grip?

Ah there's a laser.. okay

Maybe the laser then

Wow the default skins make the weapon look clean af

[wide shore]

I gotta say. The ammo box change is amazing

[hybrid totem]

Nice! We finally get a "Menu" tab in the keybinds! Too bad we still can't rebind WASD in the menu.

Classic DICE

[fickle wharf]

why is tank superiority multiple objectives???

[chilly jacinth]

why not

[fickle wharf]

mode info says fight over a single objective????????

[frank rain]

Why 128 not working

No match available

[white geyser]

I still want co-op as a separate mode and 4 players who are playing both conquest and breakthrough, don’t forget season 6 is already confirmed

[frank rain]

Give me 128 mode

[drowsy shuttle]

AI is too dumb and easy to make it fun

[frank rain]

Why is conquest large empty

128 conquest ot wor

Not working

[still vault]

Penguins

Not welcome in the dessert so they did the revenge

[drowsy shuttle]

Problem of the aksu is the rate of fire.. that will make people not using it... but damn the sound it's beautiful..

[still vault]

I can't play 128p as well. Just ignoring it for now and playing other stuff.

[calm gull]

Hi guys, as a new player what weapons and mode should i be playing first?

[drowsy shuttle]

Conquest

And use m5

[fierce bronze]

Anyone know if there's a way to turn off the squad leader countdown thingy that pops up on the screen? It's very distracting with the countdown noise and all

[vague rivet]

There will be MANY varying oppinions on that. My take. Play solo a few rounds, to get your bearing with out getting slaughtered, try out some of the gun as well, and go with what you find the most fun.

[hybrid totem]

Give an order.

[lone void]

new hourglass is good

I like it now

[subtle crag]

Is it just me or is the game really fucked since the update today
Half the players are invisible and load times are in the minutes

[lusty monolith]

so I cant play bf2042 because im getting a direct x error can anyone help?

[lone void]

my only issue with the game has been conquest not loading aside from the dedicated hourglass playlist

[drowsy shuttle]

Delete cache

[lusty monolith]

tried that already

[drowsy shuttle]

Delete direct x cache

[lusty monolith]

ok

[drowsy shuttle]

Go on your hard drive, properties iirc and then there's and option to perform a clean

And that will clean or clear direct x cache/temp files

Not only direct x

But also direct x

Might help

If you keep getting the same error, try reinstall the gpu drivers

[lusty monolith]

alright ill try that cuz it didnt work

[drowsy shuttle]

Good luck

[chilly jacinth]

do it with DDU

[drowsy shuttle]

Yes

Don't forget using ddu

[lusty monolith]

what is that

[chilly jacinth]

display driver uninstaller

basically nukes all gpu drivers

and all other shit related to it

[lusty monolith]

alright ty

[drowsy shuttle]

Do it in safe mode

Aksu kinda suck.. the rate of fire punishes a lot.. if you get a decent opponent you gonna lose lot of fights..

But the sound of the weapon is gorgeous

[tawny carbon]

I normally do a fresh clean install on Nvidia driver updates. And reconfigure my Nvidia Control Panel settings

[drowsy shuttle]

Ddu is your best bet

[tawny carbon]

I never have an issue

[drowsy shuttle]

Then its fine

I always use ddu when installing new drivers

[lusty monolith]

do i do clean and restart?

[still vault]

You run DDU after a safe-mode boot, then reboot and install drivers again

[drowsy shuttle]

Go in safe mode.. open the program.. choose your model (nvidia ou amd) and then just click to remove drivers and reboot automatically..

You don't need to do anything else

[lusty monolith]

ok

[hybrid totem]

Well nightbird is as toxic as always on the new map. TY DICE for removing one of the alleycats.

[tawny carbon]

But yet, all aircraft is like paper when AA arrives

[hybrid totem]

So when we have one wildcat with a 40mm cannon, nightbirds once again dominate.

[ebon pilot]

and lots of things can be AA

[hybrid totem]

Remove the 40mm cannon from the wildcat.

[vague rivet]

Man... When you start out with the SVK... it SUCKS..... But after you some of the upgrades, it gets decent.

[hybrid totem]

Actually no fuck that, the whole meta shouldn't be formed around a single vehicle.

Fuck the nightbird.

[tawny carbon]

Aircraft needs buffs, they are very weak tbh

[hybrid totem]

Not the nightbird.

Buffing the nightbird would only imbalance the game even more.

[tawny carbon]

Night bird is very weak, it used to be very good back in Y1

[hybrid totem]

It's still too good. Fuck the nightbird.

[wide shore]

My attachments on the XM8 and P90 are like, perma locked. I tried using them for a few kills each and completing games and they just won’t unlock. They’re all done. It’s odd

[hybrid totem]

lockons still bounce off of it.

[mental delta]

Bew version of Hourglass fucking sucks in breakthrough

2nd sector is uncapturable

[tawny carbon]

@mental delta the game can’t be to easy, it is a strategic game.

[tawny carbon]

Night birds gotten the most aircraft nerfs of all vehicles.

[hybrid totem]

Yes, and still not enough.

[mental delta]

What a strategy when you can't even move 15 meters forward because the map layout fucking sucks and the whole enemy team is everywhere with vehicles to fuck you up

[ebon pilot]

have you tried shooting it with a rocket launcher

[hybrid totem]

Because it was ridiculously OP on release, now it's simply... nefariously OP.

[tawny carbon]

Seems like a attacker side of skill issue to me

[tawny carbon]

M5 go brrrrrr

[drowsy shuttle]

Aksu sucks lol

I mean should be an ar not smg

[hybrid totem]

Yep. They hunt you down for sport.

[mental delta]

Nah my team was mostly good and people team played a lot, nobody in the team was able to move on the point as the map layout allows defender team to camp on the side of the highway and to use a lot of vehicles, just poor map and vehicles layout from Dice as always with this game

[hybrid totem]

Nightbirds should be exclusively in 64p servers.

[lusty monolith]

after all that it still doesnt work

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔 seems like a skill issue on AA end tbh

[ebon pilot]

idk sounds like a skill issue to me

[hybrid totem]

Always skill issues with you.

[ebon pilot]

ive never had trouble dealing with nightbirds

[hybrid totem]

Goodly fucking goo for you.

[ebon pilot]

There's at least like 3 vehicles with AA capabilities

[tawny carbon]

Same, especially on 128p servers.

[hybrid totem]

It would be nice to have people who can so easily handle these problems in my games then.

[tawny carbon]

128p is AA territory compared to 64p

[hybrid totem]

I'm glad you all have no issues with nightbirds, if only all of us were so blessed.

[surreal pier]

How do I get marksman kills?

I've been getting sniper kills from like way above 200 meters

[ebon pilot]

Headshot kills at 200+ meters

[surreal pier]

Headshot kills*

Maybe it wasn't 200 meters

Weird

Probably close to it then

Soooo annoying lmao

[tawny carbon]

I’m also a heli main as well. Tbh, my favorite against helis is sniper. That’s me tho

[hybrid totem]

See above.

[drowsy shuttle]

Sorry to hear that.. dunno whatelse you can do... maybe reinstall the game?

[surreal pier]

Also, "enemies disrupted" with the opv drone is like, tagging enemy vehicles and then they die?

[lusty monolith]

first thing i tried ill just contact support or something

[drowsy shuttle]

Good luck

[tawny carbon]

Or do a full PC clean wipe and that could be your solution. Idk 🤷‍♂️

[drowsy shuttle]

Aksu sound with the wrapped suppressor is so good...

[muted palm]

Anyone else having trouble connection to their servers ?

[drowsy shuttle]

Here is good

[surreal pier]

If you're having problems finding a match then reinstall EA app

Happened to me several times and that was the only fix

[muted palm]

Ps5 lad

[surreal pier]

Ah, sad

[drowsy shuttle]

Oof

[surreal pier]

I wish I could help

[muted palm]

Loads n that just comes up with error once I join game

[quaint vector]

All Updates downloaded.?

[muted palm]

Yeah mate there was one earlier I think

[quaint vector]

There was Update today

[tawny carbon]

Can you surf the web just fine?

[muted palm]

My internet is sound it just this

[drowsy shuttle]

Web is flat now

[muted palm]

Restarted ps5 all working now 💀🦦🦦

[tawny carbon]

And also start the EA app first, not directly to the game. Also force close EA app fully via Task Manager first.

[drowsy shuttle]

Dude...

[tawny carbon]

O, your on PS5. My bad 😥

[muted palm]

Yeah man it’s sorted now

[tawny carbon]

Console life: Restart console to see updates and to properly runs games fine.

[quiet shell]

Wtf? DICE YOU ALREADY HAD A 40 ROUND MAGAZINE FOR THE PP-2000 MODELED AND IN THE GAME AS A LEGACY ATTACHMENT

[drowsy shuttle]

To be fair we have to reboot pc many times too

[quiet shell]

WHY IS IT REMOVED?!

[midnight crater]

So

Update is here?

[drowsy shuttle]

No, is there

[midnight crater]

Alright be back in 1000000 years for update

[drowsy shuttle]

Yes it's out now

[midnight crater]

FINALLY

Except

NOT FINALLY

Im stuck at WORK

[tawny carbon]

I always had to shut down the app via task manager.

[quaint vector]

People these days man...

[drowsy shuttle]

The ea app? Yeah.. although, since I have the game on steam, I dont even notice ea app lol

[ebon pilot]

wym I have it?

[tawny carbon]

Yea, if I don’t see the update when live. Even on Steam updates for games. Same thing.

[dapper river]

Oh, so smoke grenades completely negate cover from explosive damage, that's why I've been dying to exploding bullshit through what I thought was indestructible walls and other cover

[tawny carbon]

It’s a smoke C5 bug. If c5 is within the smoke hitbox. It uses the smoke hitbox for dmg.

[quick skiff]

So im not the only one where 128 conq doesnt work

[dapper river]

you sure it's not for other explosives too? Because I've died to or at least been damaged by frags and sundance nades through walls and I'm 99% sure a smoke was involved in those instances

[tawny carbon]

I haven’t tried it with other explosions. Only C5 so far and abusing C5 Smoke bug

[next onyx]

@dapper river sph, scatter, etc.

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔 they actually work with the smoke bug?

[drowsy shuttle]

Last sector in BT is hard to cap, but at least is not something stupid like C1 in exposure or C2 in kaleidoscope

[quaint vector]

Who remembers old Kaleidoscope objective on roof..?

That was something...

[drowsy shuttle]

No worries.. we had the spider-hovercraft to reach the top

[tawny carbon]

I find it nice for a while. It was really fun, but yet, hard to cap as well.

[nova idol]

When will they add the ability to load persistence data

[tawny carbon]

I can be on that roof top for ages and parachute to the bottom for the entire server.

[drowsy shuttle]

What can we say, that's a really persistent data, man...

[tropic hazel]

is there any fix for this?

[drowsy shuttle]

Aksu really sucks goddayum...

[lavish stag]

How do you report a bug

[hallow sierra]

ok never playing defense on bt again

[quiet shell]

Yeah I don't think this Hourglass is it.
It doesn't solve the maps problems it just puts the problems in closer vicinity to each other which I honestly think is even worse.

[hallow sierra]

i tho it was worth it

never again

[quiet shell]

also the breakthrough version of this map is god fucking awful. You might as well be breaking your toes against a boulder as an attacker and it's piss easy as a defender because of all the environmental fortifications

[sullen mulch]

idk about that, this is probably the best hourglass breakthrough design

[hallow sierra]

tho i was the only when i first play it

[drowsy shuttle]

I agree

[quiet shell]

Thats not a high bar to beat. Nor does it make it actually good

[drowsy shuttle]

It's quite balanced... which is surprising

[quiet shell]

Not really

Also the biggest issue of Hourglass was the empty desert in the middle of the map AND IT'S STILL THERE

They cut stadium but kept the fucking desert?!

Last gen never even PLAYED ON THE STADIUM

[sullen mulch]

I just want explosive to do realistic damage at this point. Engineer class is still shit

[hallow sierra]

as a last gen player i agree

[drowsy shuttle]

The stadium is there.. but you only see it when you are dying or really thirsty... because its like an oasis mirage

[hallow sierra]

im surprised they added the next gen layout of hourglass bt to last gen

[sullen mulch]

I lowkey miss the chaos that was first month hourglass breakthrough

only a little tho

[midnight crater]

Read hourglass as hogwarts

[drowsy shuttle]

Dude...

[tropic hazel]

anybody fix the persistent data error?

[queen dagger]

ive been playing tdm for two hours trying to get a chance to play the new hourglass layout and im having zero luck

got valparaiso three times before hourglass

[hybrid totem]

Better than we expected, worse than we hoped.

[arctic grove]

aren't you from the Philippines?

[misty briar]

D0k is international

[karmic egret]

D0k is coming for me

[misty briar]

Mr worldwide

[karmic egret]

He gonna tickle my feet

[misty briar]

No

[arctic grove]

ah that’s why he weird

[misty briar]

Why u hatin

D0k is love

[karmic egret]

Mr 305

[misty briar]

It was predicatable and was totaly the right step

Wym

[drowsy shuttle]

Ranger is so annoying

[topaz field]

wait no 64 hourglass?

[queen dagger]

there is but the gamemode isnt in rotation rn

[strong snow]

[karmic egret]

Yeah do not worry, 64 player is on the same layout

Hourglass is... ok, because it doesn't want to make me want to kill myself when I get it

[drowsy shuttle]

Why da fuq everybody decided to play boris all of a sudden?

[sharp dove]

boris the goat tho

[hallow sierra]

u cant even push to objectives without getting from somewhere in hourglass bt

[ebon pilot]

Boris is the default specialist

[sharp dove]

eh 64 hourglass feels a bit spread out anyway imo, especially in the city area

[lament plank]

Good to know that on patch day Dice still can’t get things to work

[sharp dove]

its still good at the other objs

[lament plank]

3/64 in hourglass lobby not moving for 5 minutes. Love it.

[drowsy shuttle]

Aksu is dogshit... but its alright, cause like dice said.. vault weapons wasn't even planned to be included in AoW from the beginning

[shell ermine]

And to think they only added 15 non vault weapons (11 not counting sidearms) over the life of the game

For reference, 43 weapons were added over BFV's life

[wary idol]

these eod bot controls are a joke

[drowsy shuttle]

I rather have 15 new bf 2042 weapons than scrapped 30 vault weapons

[hybrid totem]

Just think, this sets the standard moving forward!

[lament plank]

Cool…still in lobby waiting for it to fill…real nice programming dice

[vague rivet]

Cool. 4x scope for my deagle.... sniping time.😂

[shell ermine]

Did they fix the deagle's hitreg issues?

[ebon pilot]

deagle never had hitreg issues?

[white geyser]

If they ran out of weapons to add and no more vault weapons, just add the BF4 vehicles in 2042

[hallow sierra]

i guess its back to regular bt

[sullen mulch]

or just add all the old maps in rotation and delete the rest

[arctic grove]

i heard this game is good now

[hybrid totem]

Where'd you hear that?

[lament plank]

Can’t even get into a lobby for the re worked map. Game better? Sure. Dice pathetic as ever? Still true.

[arctic grove]

damn

i guess not

[hybrid totem]

Not answering either way, just want to know where you heard it.

[white geyser]

I’m still disappointed they remove the 57mm cannon for the wildcat tank and was replace by the 35mm. They should have kept and add the 35mm not remove it

[shell ermine]

Its not good. It's serviceable.

[hybrid totem]

The wildcat needs to be dedicated to anti-air.

[shell ermine]

They need to add the 20mm AA to the second or third seat then

Something to counter orbiting nightshits

[white geyser]

You are stuck using 40mm for the wildcat tank when you’re fighting ground vehicles like tanks

[hybrid totem]

Or... Use a tank.

And stop depriving your team of the best anti-air vehicle.

[shell ermine]

Speaking of 20mm AA, did they add them back to the jeeps?

[hybrid totem]

If you often find yourself in situations in which you are fighting tanks and other armored vehicles, perhaps you should not be running a wildcat.

[shell ermine]

35mm still does significant damage to armor

Just can't solo a tank anymore

[white geyser]

This is my current loadout for the wildcat tank and I was able to destroy enemy tanks, if I don’t see enemy choppers flying around

[shell ermine]

The 57mm was great for dealing with transport aircraft too

[glacial quarry]

some epic mega gaming

[vague rivet]

I want a muzzlebreak for the deagle!! Get on it Dice!!!!!

[dense pier]

What was in this update

[vague rivet]

Headlines: Nerf of SMG and LMGs and redone map: Hourglass.

[hybrid totem]

#game-news message

[next onyx]

Hourglass rework and other changes.

[dense pier]

Ok

[next onyx]

Apparently their servers are having issues now.

[wide shore]

In the meantime, I’m playing payday

[vague rivet]

Oh go... i am currently playing around with the VCAR... It comes off as a BB gun somehow. 😄 But fun none the less.

[wide shore]

VCAR gaming, baby

[next onyx]

3HK within 30 metres.

Fire fast.

And it'll do its job.

[arctic grove]

is anyone able to get into the new hourglass map? I keep getting persistence data errors

[lament plank]

yep conquest is fucked. try BT.

[vague rivet]

DAMN its fun. 😂

[deep frost]

PC looks so smooth

[sharp swift]

bro of crouse they drop the update when im on vacation

wtf

[quaint vector]

Haaaa

[desert iron]

anyone getting a error when trying to launch a game on the hourglass playlist? says "Unable to load persistence data"

[arctic grove]

No, just not many people playing today, might be the reason tho.

[last swift]

still downloading.. I can tell you in 3 hour(glas)s

[robust aspen]

I'm sad they moved roof objectives...

[drowsy shuttle]

don't be sad, that's just how it works sometimes

[glass shard]

a game update, anything new?

lag fixed or anything?

[arctic grove]

Ig extended mags is the same is subsonic, high power, and AP all in one, thanks for the new information 👍

[blazing terrace]

Sydney 2042 when

[arctic grove]

clean ur glasses

[glacial quarry]

bold of u to assume sydney will still be on land in 2042

[tawny carbon]

So basically DLSS 3 update brought VSR to 2042 not frame gen

[blazing terrace]

I don’t want to do this but

[solar marten]

what was the update to the squads?

[blazing terrace]

Wollongong 2042

[vague rivet]

THIS will be fun. My OCD bids me to unlock everything on all guns.... Fun challange. On the VCAR... a 5x scope is unlocked by getting 50 kills ABOVE 125 meters. 😂

[pine roost]

you don't have to do it if you don't want to

[topaz field]

Oh dang seem like only breakthrough works on hour glas

[tawny carbon]

Vcar is very fun to use

It’s my fav DMR in 2042

[vague rivet]

OCD... i HAVE to... or the voices come back.....

[sharp dove]

yeah, unfortunately

its alright on conquest

but meh, breakthrough on hourglass is just better

[solar marten]

so squads just have now have the ability to lock, kick leader and... give orders?

can someone explain, this article is shit

[sharp dove]

give orders was always a thing right?

u could always select an obj and order to attack/defend

[solar marten]

fuck me bro this pizza is spicy

[sharp dove]

what u order

[solar marten]

they got it wrong

[sharp dove]

that sucks bruh 😭😭

[ebon pilot]

yes but there was no associated UI with the order and it didn't give XP

[sharp dove]

ah so it gives xp now??

[ebon pilot]

yes if you complete the order it gives bonus xp

[sharp dove]

thats awesome i didnt know that, gets ppl to finally play the obj

and the ui change is neat

[finite swallow]

anyone wanna group up tonight in 4 hours to play a while

[hollow hill]

anyone having issues joining games

[desert iron]

i keep getting a error when trying to join hourglass

[lament plank]

Yeah. It’s broken. And as usual dice is silent about it.

[hybrid totem]

Works on their machine!

[native oracle]

anyone else getting "unable to load persistence data" error?

[wary idol]

no

[hybrid totem]

Many people, varying circumstances, since launch.

[tawny carbon]

Did you update the game?

[native oracle]

i only get it when trying to play the hourglass mode, can paly anything else

[native oracle]

yep

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔

[next onyx]

Yeah game broken.

Big surprise.

[tawny carbon]

You full restart the game?

After it happened?

[desert iron]

yeah same thing happens to me. but i can play breakthrough hourglass

[native oracle]

yeah but ill try again

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔 try turn off and on your platform and try again. If not then the game is just broken. Atleast for that mode for now.

Just gotta wait till they fix it ig, when? Idk 🤷‍♂️

[hybrid totem]

Next Season.
"That's what you said last season"
Always Next Season.

[primal hemlock]

Got another update for BF2042. Wheres the changelog?

[hybrid totem]

#game-news message

[tawny carbon]

Bruh, that’s what Bungie does to Destiny 2. To me it’s nothing new tbh.

[primal hemlock]

That post was 28th July. I played yesterday and there was no update

[hybrid totem]

The update went live early this morning.

Like 12 hours ago.

[tawny carbon]

Update just dropped at 4am est

13.5 hours ago

[primal hemlock]

Ohh. So wheres the change notes?

[hybrid totem]

...#game-news message

[tawny carbon]

That was the patch notes for the update. Dice does patch notes a week prior now set of on the date of the update goes live

[primal hemlock]

ohhhhhhhhhhh

Sorry im a derp

[tawny carbon]

I think they started that sometime last year. I don’t remember exactly

@primal hemlock remember, if you see the patch notes drop. It’s for the following week of that date. Don’t freak out.

[primal hemlock]

Thanks 🙂

[whole hornet]

This is sick

[tawny carbon]

Np 😉

[tawny carbon]

What?

[primal hemlock]

I thought when it says Update Notes for x.x.x are now live. It meant the update has rolled out at that moment

[tawny carbon]

The patch notes aka update notes is what they call it.

[whole hornet]

I played for a bit today during work without any issue. Finally get off and we have errors.

[desert iron]

oof im tired of breakthrough. hope hourglass conq gets fixed soon

[tawny carbon]

That’s why they say, “expect” it’s foreshadowing for the following week’s update.

[whole hornet]

ahh, missed that it's only hourglass only servers having issues

[tawny carbon]

Just the hourglass? should be fix incoming soon.

It prob be on the backend

Truly a Dice moment I guess

I can't be the only one concerned about this very poor choice of words

[dark mural]

EA should just stfu and let DICE announce stuff

[mental delta]

Nah Dice and EA already talked about it a little bit but it's really concerning, they tend to show they want to construct something like the shitty and dumb COD timeline to connect all games so they can sell you more skins through different games

[tawny carbon]

Ultimate Fact right here

[hybrid totem]

Why is it still www.twitter.com?

[mental delta]

Because Twitter becomes X and their shitty update is destroying the whole app lol

[tawny carbon]

They haven’t updated the url yet. Elon is trying to get the X.com URL from PayPal to implement it.

Or he got it, idk it’s not there yet.

[mental delta]

Truly a X moment

[tawny carbon]

Yes indeed

[tawny carbon]

They are not doing a WZ thing on BF franchise. Dice wants to keep up with the legacy story.

[hallow sierra]

i feel like c2 in bt on reclaimed is really unnecessary when everyone goes to c1

[tawny carbon]

Nothing more and nothing less tbh

[edgy oriole]

sounds like a bf3 or bf4 remake maybe

[pine roost]

I was discussing it here earlier, I just take it as investor fluff talk

[vague rivet]

Nah... Remake 2142 please... 🙂

[edgy oriole]

i dont see them remaking anything earlier than those dinosaur games

[pine roost]

that statement means practically nothing

[sharp marten]

Didn’t they say this about 2042

[hybrid totem]

We have definitely not been talking about that.

[dark mural]

they said 2042 was a love letter to the fans. and well, lmao

[edgy oriole]

reimagination usually means remake

[edgy oriole]

portal

portal was the love letter

[sharp marten]

God I hope so

Like I love 2042 and all but it’s just not catching me anymore like it used to

[edgy oriole]

like how mw19 was a reimagine of cod4

it shouldnt its a 84 year old game now

you can only use the same meta weapons on the same 4 maps (bc no server browser) for so long before its boring

[pine roost]

they also said bfv would be the most immersive world war 2 game yet

then the trailer dropped

[edgy oriole]

cod2 and WaW goated ww2 games imo

[sharp marten]

Waw 🔛🔝🫵🏻

[mental delta]

Idk about that but the words they choose really concern me, it's like they want to completely mess up with the timeline to create a COD type of shit

[mental delta]

I think they stated that it would be too much costful to make and not worth it, that's why they created Portal instead of actually releasing previous games again

[patent pivot]

and look at where we are now

portal is abandoned

[mental delta]

Portal is abandoned because it's shit

[sharp marten]

They’re probably making portal a shut ton better for it’s new game

[mental delta]

Before the game released I naively thought it would be a cool thing but it's low on content and gameplay is horrible

[hybrid totem]

If portal is not released as a standalone game, it will languish.

[edgy oriole]

portal the future if they play their cards right

[sharp marten]

^

[edgy oriole]

if they are lazy with it then oopsie

[patent pivot]

portal may be like Gmod

or ravenfield

[sharp marten]

Tbh bro just give me my classes and a customizable character with a shot ton of guns a shit ton of vehicles good gameplay and I’ll be Gucci

[patent pivot]

and I just need offline mode with bots

like battlefront style

[mental delta]

If some of you are a bit lost about next Battlefield experiences, here's a little recap :
_A solo Battlefield experience which reportedly begins a whole new timeline (singleplayer campaign)
_A multiplayer experience which brings back a traditional multiplayer experience like usual
_A "totally new" experience which won't be revealed anytime soon (this last part is truly concerning lol)

[hybrid totem]

We had 8 classes, but no the players wanted just 4 classes and that's what we got.

[mental delta]

All those things have been stated and announced by Dice

[native oracle]

whats the timeline on those? like is the solo one next, and the multiplayer one multiple years after that?

[mental delta]

They didn't make any clarifications about return of classes or to tell if the campaign was a standalone game or linked to the multiplayer experience like a traditional Battlefield game

[dark mural]

i need a campaign around boris

[mental delta]

What do you mean ?

[remote kiln]

no need to spread misinformation, they have, and they did it months ago

[native oracle]

oh i guess that's all going to be in the next game? you said experiences so it sounded like those are multiple upcoming games

[mental delta]

Where the fuck did you see I was spreading misinformation, just did a little error because I didn't know they clarified about classes, now as you seem to know that, give me a screenshot about classes talk please

[kindred flint]

playing BT on hourglass was a mistake

[remote kiln]

read the patch notes my guy, they've been pretty clear the class system will be returning for the next game, this has been discussed at least 15 times in this channel alone

[kindred flint]

alright whelp that error is on the hourglass conquest servers so guess theres no reason to play atm

[mental delta]

I said experiences because those are the words they use lol, I use the exact same word because at this point it hasn't been stated (at least I don't think so) if those experiences are all regrouped onto one game or if campaign is linked with multiplayer and last experience is apart for example

[mental delta]

Which patch notes ? Why would they talk about classes for the next game in a BF2042 patch notes ?

[native oracle]

nothing wrong with that mate im not coming at you for using the wrong word dw! just explaining why i thought that meant multiple games

[dark mural]

what the hell happened to lmgs

[native oracle]

recent update adjusted smgs and lmgs iirc

[mental delta]

Lol I know you weren't coming at me I was just clarifying why I used the word "experiences"

[solar marten]

dumbest thing ive ever heard

man said ravenfield

[remote kiln]

specifically independent projects, the campaign and multiplayer are not both being made by DICE as has been tradition for the game, e.g. the experience for the campaign is different because its not being made the same development team, we don't know if they will be in the game, but they probably will

[solar marten]

nah im sorry but ravenfield is absolute dogshit

[patent pivot]

that game didn't suit me anyway

[remote kiln]

because Dev comments have been done since season 1 and they've been pretty transparent about their plans for the next game, advise you read them

[patent pivot]

it's not 100% flexible in mod

[mental delta]

I don't see specialists returning unless they're completely dumb, but I can clearly see them making personalized characters like operators just like COD does lmao

[patent pivot]

or battlefront heroes

[solar marten]

if ur gonna copy another game, at least be good at it

[remote kiln]

update 5.2 was deployed 13 hours ago

[mental delta]

Well I don't really want to read all patches notes again to find a single info about next game, I read a lot of patches notes all through the seasons and I don't recall seeing anything about classes in the next game/games

[wide shore]

Really enjoy Hourglass on breakthrough

Haven’t been able to play it on CQ tho

AKS finally living up to is true potential with an extendo mag

[mental delta]

Lol 50 hours to grind to get a single skin

[lilac linden]

Doesn't work for CQ yet

[patent pivot]

[hybrid totem]

What do you call t1 skins...?

[wide shore]

So I’ve noticed lol

[mental delta]

What ?

[hybrid totem]

It takes at least 50 hours to get a single skin for lots of things.

[mental delta]

Depends on the specialist

[dark mural]

im ready for next season. hourglass revamp makes it better, but still the worst map.

[mental delta]

It's easier to get skins for medics than engineers

[mental delta]

I was expecting something far more spectacular as we waited a long time to get it

[patent pivot]

I'm just dying of boredom

[mental delta]

Me too

[dark mural]

i hope dice learns to never use these dumbass tornados again.

[mental delta]

Well the greedy of EA has something to do with that, they oriented their artistic direction towards something which sells more just like COD but it deteriorates the global atmosphere of the game

[mental delta]

That's the only Levolution event they had in this game

[remote kiln]

was DICEs decision

had nothing to do with EA

it was their own decision to make the design change they did from 3 to 4

and they've been explicitly clear as such

[mental delta]

EA reportedly told them to do what was the nowadays standards implying shitting on game design to make stupid skins and shit

[remote kiln]

that has nothing to do with the design he's talking about

he's talking about DICEs decision to change their map design philosophy by having the objectives be placed after the map has been built rather than the reverse which was done in BF3

which resulted in borderline horrible tactical integrations to play for 4, especially when you're used to 3, was quite possibly the single worst decision made in the franchise

[mental delta]

Well I obviously didn't know about this radical change in map building philosophy but I guess those changes are still present nowadays

Most of BF2042 maps are badly made and don't feel like previous game's maps at all

[patent pivot]

I see most maps as "flat"

[remote kiln]

the feel of the maps for 2042 is mostly related to the base BR decision than any

[drowsy rose]

Ah I was really mean to a guy trying to use the TOR

[hybrid totem]

Would bf2042 have turned out better if they had stuck with the original BR design plan instead of pivoting at the last minute?

[drowsy rose]

who was fucking back camping from spawn

[drowsy rose]

Nobody wanted BR from battlefield, BF5 proved that whole ahrdly

[hybrid totem]

yes but look what we got instead.

[remote kiln]

it's a question nobody can really answer, on the one hand for design integration of playing maps absolutely, whether the playerbase would have accepted it.. who knows

I'm sure that's a question the original DICE team ponder over themselves

[shell ermine]

Can I turn off this stupid squad leader notification?

[hybrid totem]

I'm certain the playerbase would have accepted it. We complain a lot but what are we gonna do, go play CoD?

[hybrid totem]

Yes, give orders.

[shell ermine]

No one gives a shit so it just keeps rotating and taking up screen space

[remote kiln]

difference is 2042 was paid from day 1

and the people buying have a base expectation of what they're supposed to be buying

if it was free, it would probably be fine

but that distinction is critical

[drowsy rose]

Aerodome is 99% fighting over mid and Panzerstorm is just super aids

[shell ermine]

Panzerstorm was fantastic

[remote kiln]

it's a bitter pill for people to swallow for any past game paying $60 for something they're not used to, which is why hardline, et al, were such awful failures

conquest etc are the lifeblood of the franchise, and when they don't exist, it probably doesn't end well

[wide shore]

Ion know about all that

Panzerstorm and Al Soondone were miserable experiences

[mental delta]

BR ?

[remote kiln]

battle royale

[hybrid totem]

People always want something different until they get it.

[wide shore]

It was also the antithesis of map design people say they hate in this game.

[mental delta]

We got proofs BF2042 was meant to be a BR ?

[wide shore]

Wide open. Very little cover. Too many vehicles

[shell ermine]

No such thing as too many vehicles

[wide shore]

There is though. It’s called Panzerstorm

[still tangle]

are servers down

keep getting the unable to load persistance data thing

[remote kiln]

been discussed countless times by DICE management during media interviews, the game was built to be a battle royale when development started and then was scrapped and changed mid development to be the base formula, that's why criterion etc were brought in to help with the project, because the game we got on release was made basically in a year

[mental delta]

Well maps would have sucked anyway even for BR maps, BR maps need to covers too; this mean this game was always meant to be pure crap whether it was a BF game or not

[remote kiln]

which is impressive/not, depends how you spin it, but that's the consequences you get for changing the core integration of a game

[sturdy socket]

who the hell demanded the tor tank

[remote kiln]

no the servers are up, if you are using AT&T there's been connection issues for about 2 weeks

[hybrid totem]

Anyone who has been terrorized by a nightbird, for one.

[shell ermine]

Panzerstorm is great if you like tanking

I loved tanking in BFV

[mental delta]

That's crazy because from what you're telling me 2 decisions have been made during development on this game and they're both fucking dumb. So they first decided to make a fucking BR game and decided to turn it into a normal game while being at half the development ?

[sturdy socket]

we have an anti air for that

the tor was an unjustified addition that ruins vehicular combat

[hybrid totem]

We have a wildcat that is too often outfitted for anti-tank combat, yes.

[sturdy socket]

completely

[shell ermine]

Can't ruin something that didn't exist in the first place

[hybrid totem]

Well, until they nerf the nightbird, I support the TOR.

[strong snow]

Make it a one seater

[still tangle]

interesting, not using at&t but thanks for the info
seems to only get the error when i load hourglass CQ

[remote kiln]

yes, someone, we don't know who, I assume higher up DICE management, but someone with importance at the very least can only order that kind of change told them to get rid of it, which is why we got the hollowed out shell with half of the content missing on release

[hybrid totem]

...The wildcat? That wouldn't change anything.

[ornate niche]

anyone notice the boards in hourglass have low res? noticed this before the rework by a week at least

the text is not even readable

I will post a pic in the discussions

[strong snow]

Idk I rather have a one seater for doing Anti Air stuff

[hybrid totem]

This game has been lacking a dedicated AA since launch, yes.

[sturdy socket]

good vehicular combat would be possible if the tor was removed along with C5 on classes that aren't recon

and the ability to just reopen and cut parachutes at will infinitely

but that won't happen

[ornate niche]

https://imgur.com/a/mW6nCKO

[hybrid totem]

You're on crack. All classes need c4.

[ornate niche]

See here image

[sturdy socket]

bait

[hybrid totem]

Your statement? Yeah, I fell for it.

[sturdy socket]

nah, your take was just so overwhelmingly shit that I knew it couldn't be real

[hybrid totem]

Oh ok, cool.

[ornate niche]

Anyone have this problem or just me? I have everything set on ultra

[hybrid totem]

Anyway, all classes have c4 and I hope it stays that way.

[fervent rose]

no they dont

[sturdy socket]

very contrarian of you

anyway

[hallow sierra]

support doesnt have c4

[hybrid totem]

Oop my bad. They should though.

[sturdy socket]

people don't even need mackay or sundance to just fuck up a tank that's doing good

[hybrid totem]

APS doesn't destroy c4 anymore.

[fervent rose]

aps used to eat c5 and it was op ya

[sturdy socket]

the parachutes are way too controllable and can be cut and redeployed at will

[dusky tulip]

it never did destroy c4 its not a projectile

[hybrid totem]

...It did destroy c4 for a while.

[fervent rose]

both aps versions destroyed c5

[ornate niche]

it once did briefly

[fervent rose]

both irish and vehicle aps

[ornate niche]

now only vehicle does yeah?

[dusky tulip]

is the new unlockable RPG better than the M5 ?

[fervent rose]

nope neither block c5 now

[ornate niche]

bruh

[sturdy socket]

so anyone who remotely begins to cope about being killed once by a decent vehicle squad has an instant fallback which is c5'ing

[dusky tulip]

Im used to M5 recoiless but I am noticing more RPG players

[sturdy socket]

there's a reason 99% of c4 attempts in bf4 are wwith jeeps

it's because walking up to a tank is stupid and parachuting is very hard to control, along with reduced air control while freefalling

[ornate niche]

damage wise idk but the drop in RPG is strong compared to M5

I honestly prefer M5 because of its high velocity and ability to quickly rangefind and hit targets accurately

[sturdy socket]

or if they want to just dominate without a chance in hell of losing except against c5, they can just lock the tor tank and win EVERY vehicle fight

and I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE

[dusky tulip]

Im trying to unlock the RPG now to compare , but the new Anti Tank grenade sucks major peepee

[ornate niche]

yeah. I think RPG is better suited for CQC because of its (a bit faster) reload

[midnight crater]

wow people werent lying

[dusky tulip]

it bounces off vehicle like whats the point

[stark owl]

Is the servers dead? I can’t connect to a hourglass mode

[midnight crater]

the newest batch of attachments is extremely disappointing

wtf

[ornate niche]

im in one right now

[dark mural]

the min grenades and spring grenades are also reash

[stark owl]

Weird. I keep getting a error message

[timber cedar]

Is the hourglass game mode not working for anyone?

[ornate niche]

restart your game, maybe verify your files. also restart your PC.

[dark mural]

i had to refverify the game for update

[ornate niche]

I have already mentioned this but the text in boards in hourglass are really low res. Idk if its on my part or not.

[stark owl]

Ugh so many steps to take to even play because a update fucked something up

[timber cedar]

Fr I can’t even play hourglass

[ornate niche]

I just started another round. doubt its the servers

[timber cedar]

I’ve reset my game multiple times

[dark mural]

i blame the ea app

[timber cedar]

And there’s no update needed

[lunar finch]

did the hourglass rework come out today?

or is that next week?

[timber cedar]

Yes

[stark owl]

Even though I’m playing on steam but the game requires the EA app to even launch

It’s so stupid

[trail blaze]

[dark mural]

yeah. ea really doesnt like its pc audience

[stark owl]

Which is saying something because they started out on PC pretty much

[ornate niche]

dude it requires me to launch the game multiple times until it actually launches wtf

really annoying

[dusky tulip]

I was just playing hourglass mode, but this PS

Don't have the game for PC it came free only for PS

[mental delta]

At this point it would have been better to release no game, still wonder where specialists come from though

[cyan sundial]

I can't matchmake into any games

Just keep getting an error

[stark owl]

Apparently I had 1 file failed to verify and will be reacquired

Umm what

[cyan sundial]

It says the new map is out, but it didn't update

[lunar finch]

why is the new hourglass

64 players

these devs man

[dusky tulip]

Anyone else here have the new gen console but plays the PS4 version last gen version on the PS5 ?

[stark owl]

Because imagine caring about 128

[hybrid totem]

Because DICE hates what they have created.

[ornate niche]

did they change something with the K30? its horizontal recoil seems way stronger now

[stark owl]

128 players never should have been created

I’m glad they are getting away from it

[lunar finch]

i enjoy 128

im fine with 64

but the issue is

when you turn maps into 64

it fucks up the map pool

so now u cant play hourlgass in conquest 128

[hybrid totem]

It's in the 128 pool.

[ornate niche]

nvm lol

[hybrid totem]

The special mode is 64p only.

[lunar finch]

why is the conquest mode 64 players

[lunar finch]

i dont understand these devs

[hybrid totem]

Because people would complain if there wasn't a 64p cq mode.

And adding another one is.... too hard, I guess.

[lunar finch]

i wanna play the full map rahhhh

make it 128

[hybrid totem]

You can, you just have to play the 128 list until it comes up.

[lunar finch]

[hybrid totem]

Of course it's just nightbird and nightbird all fucking day, so... Take that as you will.

[lunar finch]

well lucky for me i cant play the 64 conquest mode anyways because i keep getting persistent data error

bt it is

[arctic grove]

What do you guys have for your tank setup?

[hybrid totem]

AP 50 cal Mortar.

[arctic grove]

AP shells, 50 cal, mortar pods?

[plush jay]

Heat, HMG , Thermal Smoke, APS

[hybrid totem]

yep.

[stark owl]

Yeah still getting a error when trying to play on hourglass

Guess I’m gonna have to wait on a hot fix

[arctic grove]

thanks fellas

[remote kiln]

HEAT/TOW/mgl or mortar

[stark owl]

Ok for some reason it’s just conquest hourglass so? Idk

I can get in a breakthrough server

[remote kiln]

there's some issues been reported of it happening with the playlist

conquest 64 and 128 should work fine

[manic hamlet]

thank god they change the requirement for bsv-m

I almost cry doing 100m using marksman weapon ;-;

[arctic grove]

I've heard that Mortar pods and tow missiles are generally great for anti-tank supressions

[plush jay]

what did they change ?

I had it already unlocked

[manic hamlet]

they changed it to unlock at level 12

[plush jay]

ohh

[manic hamlet]

used to be /100 atleast 100m kill using marksman

[plush jay]

yea i remember that lmao

thank god i got that shit back in se1

[manic hamlet]

I just get screwed by sniper even ar at that range lol

[plush jay]

[ornate niche]

dude its so easy on hardcore portal servers lol

[plush jay]

but that means playing on hardcore portal servers

[manic hamlet]

oh never thought about doing it that way

but 100m still too far for me lol might as well just use sniper

not a marksman fan xD

[remote kiln]

tow missiles will one shot aircraft if it hits (excl transport helis) too

[arctic grove]

my crew is gonna be eating tonight

i got that for them

also dang. tow missiles one shooting that's like better then any surface to air

[viscid holly]

Lfg if anyone needs a bullet shield

[maiden maple]

boys this is NOT A DRILL p90 has attachments now lord have mercy

[kindred flint]

So how long has 64p hourglass conquest been unplayable?

[tall egret]

So you guys know the new feature where it kicks you from squad leader if you don’t put down a order?

Yeah it’s bugged and will kick you no matter how many orders you put down apparently cause i just got kicked

[tall egret]

Idk what you mean cause for me it’s playable

[kindred flint]

Oh it was giving me the connection error message trying to join that mode..but 128 conquest was fine, and so was the BT hourglass

[nova idol]

Im getting the same thing

[whole hornet]

Yeah, I've tried periodically since 5 est and it's been giving errors.

[woeful obsidian]

for me is the 128 conquest mode broken 😔

[kindred flint]

wondering if i have to do another fucking repair on this game

[lilac linden]

Hourglass remake on breakthrough Omg.

[ornate niche]

It always did, now it just tells you when you will get kicked.

[arctic grove]

I haven’t been able to play bf2042 for 2-3 weeks because of the att and dice issue. Hopefully soon it’ll all be fixed.

[ebon pilot]

it works for me

[royal swan]

Damn this map is good now

I'm happy that hourglass is enjoyable

[queen dagger]

tdm on hourglass is busted

[kindred flint]

imagine how surprise I was when the 64p and 128p layouts are the exact same

[calm bison]

Can we get another LEGO Indiana Jones game please

[lime geode]

Yes

I'll go make it

[tall egret]

No, when you get the timer you’re supposed to put an order down, which i do and it still counts down and replaces me

[nova idol]

The underpass on hourglass now is the only area in the game thats dark enough for me to equip a flashlight on my gun on purpose

[calm bison]

Something on the level of Skywalker Saga

[lime geode]

Noted

[ornate niche]

Weird, i got the timer and ordered on an objective and I still kept my position.

this squad leader feature isn't totally new, it has been in the game for years. Only the displayed timer is new.

[tall egret]

Yeah it only happened to me once so far, but it does happen so i wanted to raise awareness about it

[ornate niche]

maybe its a bug? you should report it

[tall egret]

I know it’s an old feature but it’s an improved one as well, just this bug i wanted to talk about

[tall egret]

Well next time it happens I’ll make a clip and report it

If i can find where to report it lol

[ornate niche]

no patch is clear of bugs sadly :)

[calm bison]

TBH I still don’t understand the point of giving all these new features to squad leaders

[tall egret]

It gives points

[calm bison]

You don’t get anything in return for it except extra points

[ornate niche]

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/battlefield-2042-bug-reports-en

you can do so here

[calm bison]

This is where BFV succeeded

Give players an actual incentive to play as a squad

So that they can call in cruise missiles and shit

[tall egret]

Yeah how about a V1 rocket that only gives kills to the SL and doesn’t promote to use it smart at all jaha

[ornate niche]

yeah, or instead bring the commander feature back 👀

[calm bison]

Commander was bland and boring

Oh boy I sure do love putting UAVs over objectives that no one is on

[tall egret]

Honestly who cares, we had this squad marking in older bf titles and no one complained

[calm bison]

BFV took commander mode and made it actually important

[tall egret]

It gives some extra xp and that’s fine

[hybrid totem]

I loved commander mode. A little short on features maybe, but overview of the entire battlefield was fun.

[solar marten]

do orders just consist of attacking/defending?

[nova idol]

I wish they had kept the squad call ins from bfv

[nova idol]

Yeah

[calm bison]

Allow for artillery and smoke barrages to come back

Give us unique tanks to call in

[hybrid totem]

Plus if you give the correct orders and listen to your squad leaders when they ask for stuff you can literally feel like you're having an effect on the battle.

[shell ermine]

Calling in mobile rocket artillery

[calm bison]

Honestly if you could call in like a HIMAR system for either team that would be cool

[ornate niche]

it was cool but improvements could be made

[calm bison]

And of course

Cruise Missiles

[nova idol]

I feel like not enough people use smoke grenades for how useful they are

[calm bison]

With knock back and shit

[daring steppe]

anyone know what to do about the persistence data thing got one game and now its just . . . .

[hybrid totem]

Why would you put the UAV over an objective no one was on? Sounds like you weren't playing it correctly.

[nova idol]

Hourglass cq?

[calm bison]

I’ve only played commander once and it was the most dull thing I have ever done

[daring steppe]

anything

[runic remnant]

Are servers down?

[hybrid totem]

It's a good thing there's multiple ways to play the game, isn't it?

[calm bison]

Every time I have seen someone play commander they usually don’t make much of a difference either

[nova idol]

Ive only had it on hourglass cq

[hybrid totem]

Fighting the enemy commander was art.

[queen dagger]

never using lfg again lol
