battlefield-2042

[wide shore]

I think people are less mad about what we’re getting and more mad about why they bothered to act like this is anything with substance

[velvet sand]

Because of how this was all framed leading into the announcement. DICE was hyping this up as some big, exciting announcement and it could have been an email lol.

[radiant prism]

I mean

[velvet sand]

I'm fine with returning modes to bide the time while S6 is delayed.

[radiant prism]

It was just a dev update

Idk where people got the “big exciting annoucement” from

It’s not like dev updates in the past have been anything crazy

[wide shore]

https://x.com/battlefield/status/1691106972979060736?s=46&t=OCF9jqNvAZ2X320ZrNCugA

Probably this

[velvet sand]

A month+ of interviews talking up the game turning around. Devs on social media vaguely talking about and hyping up S6. This video framed as "What's coming next." which I guess this is technically what's coming next but like...next as in for the next month, not next for BF2042 or anything.

[wide shore]

“Find out what we’ve been cooking”

Nothing.

[radiant prism]

I mean it’s S6 confirmation plus a new map teaser

Plus it describes what’s immediately coming up till then

[velvet sand]

S6 confirmation which we already had, so was redunant and pointless.

[radiant prism]

I fail to see how we didn’t get exactly what was expected lmao

Call it what you want but I think people are bitching for little reason

[remote merlin]

Hi guys,
Can someone explain to me what counts as marksman kill?

[radiant prism]

I’ll add it to the list of reasons I hate this community

[velvet sand]

Yet here you still are all these years later.

[radiant prism]

A long range kill with a Sniper Rifle or DMR

[wide shore]

One singular blog post with this redux shit and two screenshots of the new map at the bottom. (Which is all we basically got in the video anyway) would have done the same job. And wouldn’t have had the expectations it did

[radiant prism]

Yeah because I actually like the game. I just despise 90% of the people that comment on it

I’m not gonna just not interact with the community

I want to talk about the game I enjoy

And when people talk about it, I feel like I’m playing a different game from how much people complain

[velvet sand]

I enjoy the game too. Doesn't mean we can't be critical of DICE continuing to pointlessly shoot themselves in the foot and make dumb decisions as they regularly do without fail.

[radiant prism]

A teaser is shooting themselves in the foot????

I just don’t see this being nearly as big as yall are making them out to be

Were previous dev updates bigger?

[hallow sierra]

rush xl and bt chaos are the only gamemodes im looking forward too

[wide shore]

I hardly complain about this game. In most cases I defend it. But this video was just bad marketing all around. Comes across as not very well thought out.

[light nest]

When Season 5 end?

[hallow sierra]

october

[velvet sand]

That's when S6 starts. S5 ends in like 3 weeks I believe, early September.

[light nest]

thanks ❤️

[wide shore]

It’s the contents of the dev video. In previous dev videos it actually gives players something to look forward to. And anybody who has played since launch I cannot imagine is that excited to unlock event cosmetics they already have. So why make a video about it at all like it’s some big, crazy event thing? It’s not new content. It’s holdover for the season 6 content. But it’s not presented in that way. It’s like trying to sell a hat to a hat vendor.

People expect more out of a video than they do a blog post. That’s just how it is

[tiny python]

Was there event items specifically nordvick and lethathian for mackay, Zain or falck?

[hallow sierra]

think it was behind a paywall

[chilly jacinth]

still seething i see

amazing

[wide shore]

And it’s the fact that it almost insults the intelligence of the player, to try and frame this redux shit as anything other than a thinly veiled mask to keep players playing until season 6.

[tiny python]

Anyway I can find them?

[ebon pilot]

That's literally what every event is

[hallow sierra]

in the store when the event comes out

[mental delta]

The lad is wrong season 5 ends in 1 or 2 weeks, season 6 beings in October

[mighty holly]

!!when is season 5 ending

[tender pendant]

Soon™

[tiny python]

No way to find them online so I can see before they come back?

[mighty holly]

Real answer and everyone’s answer is wrong

[wide shore]

But it’s not new. It’s old stuff that is being readded. It’s obvious why. And it makes sense. The idea to do it is not wrong.

But don’t try to treat it like something it’s not.

[solid imp]

All companies need to market things to let people know it's there

[wide shore]

Hyping up re-released content has routinely never gone in the favor of any game company I’ve ever seen do it.

[hallow sierra]

ok there is a yt named Battlefield Tuff that does a showcase of event skins

try that

[merry heart]

Facts

[wide shore]

There was a way to market this redux event. And hyping of a dev video where they claim they’ve been “cooking” isn’t it.

[hallow sierra]

they could have at least give us the event skins that was behind a paywall for free but guess they wouldnt get money off from it

[solid imp]

That's fair but I mean it's a pretty small issue right? Just the wrong term used for the ad

[mighty holly]

Who’s the marketing lead’s name
Asking for a lad

[edgy oriole]

one of my buddies sent me a link saying there is a new trailer. can someone give me sparknotes rq.

im not tryna watch another cinematic trailer

[wide shore]

On face value it is a small issue. But in the long term it is a continued issue of DICE being unable to do or say anything without insulting its playerbase. Either directly or insulting their intelligence.

[velvet sand]

S6 delayed 'til October, 1 map for the season. QoL updates coming. In the meantime they're bringing back old events with some updates and free cosmetics. Please be excited.

[wide shore]

All players want is honesty. Transparency. And we almost get none of that. Ever.

It’s the least they could do after we’ve stuck around this long.

[velvet sand]

Expecting that from DICE at this point is foolhardy.

[solid imp]

I'll be honest, I don't really feel insulted... businesses gonna do what businesses do

If I like the game, I'll keep playing it regardless of commercials

If I stop having fun I'll stop playing

[merry heart]

Honestly no corporate company can ever do that these days.

[solid imp]

They push a lot of community updates out way more than others of their size if you include all their various media

podcasts, dev corners, blogs, and trailers like this

[mighty holly]

podcast

Idk why but a battlefield podcast is just

[solid imp]

yeah but I mean it's there and it has some things... they can't break NDAs lol

they're not going to drop some secret info like they're getting away with something

[edgy oriole]

i listened to the podcast while at work but i dont work at the moment so i stopped

[wide shore]

I like 2042. I’ll keep playing 2042 when season 6 drops.

But this is one of many of DICEs classic blunders and it’s starting to get old.

[hallow sierra]

i like how they say they dont want to have spoilers for season 6 but watch when someone leaks the infos about season 6

[mighty holly]

Honestly I don’t like 2042 but I’ll play it every once or twice idk a month or so

[merry heart]

Cringe

[mighty holly]

exactly
Like even if it’s a fallout (that I enjoy) but in a podcast version I’ll find it

[hallow sierra]

its a good thing i have gta in the corner

[merry heart]

I think DICE wants us to move over to their other FPS game, Fall Guys.

[wide shore]

At the end of the day, September is booked anyway. So I guess I don’t have to worry about doing weeklies or anything.

[edgy oriole]

ive just been catching up on my singleplayer games and DBD

[wide shore]

But it is funny that my plus side to this video is I don’t have to play the game for a month.

[hallow sierra]

with one map tho

i may be wrong

[wide shore]

It’ll be one map

Anyone thinking they might release a second are just coping.

[edgy oriole]

hopefully it not as small as reclaimed

[wide shore]

If it’s locked to 64 again I’m gonna blow a gasket.

[edgy oriole]

they getting the aspect of making a war landscape. they just need to work on the size.

[hallow sierra]

i cant wait to see players camping in brushes

[wide shore]

I find it so funny that hourglass remake plays so much better in 128 CQ, but they quickly made the playlist 64 instead.

It’s dog ass with 64

[hallow sierra]

u know whats funny

2042 take place after bf4 but we dont have bf4 maps

[wide shore]

Thank god

[mighty holly]

ngl I still wanna see China but then again it won’t really be China and it’s Chinese forces

[arctic grove]

Is the new M5A3 skin worth it?

[edgy oriole]

thats up to you my guy

[mighty holly]

It looks pog then it’s pog

Although people have weird taste on what looks pog but that’s an opinion

[shell ermine]

Can't do that or else they can't sell their game in West Taiwan

[arctic grove]

I’m not sure

I’ll think about it

[mighty holly]

If only they weren’t cringe

[mighty holly]

Imo black or tan or a nice camo would look on it but idk I really haven’t seen the gun skins for 2042

[hallow sierra]

i would get the t1 skin

[wide shore]

Also the new map is just Zetsobu No Shima I don’t wanna hear it

[hallow sierra]

the new map plays like Zetsobu No Shima

[wide shore]

Oh god

I hope not

[summer zenith]

Did they buff the top g turret?

[wide shore]

It took me a second

Lmao

It got more HP a while back. But other than that, no

Battlefield Bulletin on Twitter

DICE says there will be a small Quality of Life Update during Redux which includes changes such as "balance adjustments for Engineers" and a new "Codex feature" for those who love to learn more about the lore of #Battlefield2042.

Update notes will be revealed later this month.

[pine roost]

I’m interested in seeing what these heli improvements will bring

The jets one actually did a lot to try and fix up how they feel (although it did admittedly take a while to fully implement it all correctly)

[granite island]

All we can do now is pray the season 6 map is good

Or better

[pine roost]

What if it’s another 64 player one

[lilac linden]

It’s gonna be tdm. 12v12 just so you all can eat butt

[pine roost]

But I did see some trees, so if it’s mostly jungle with some bases underground I think I’ll go mad

I hate jungle maps

[lilac linden]

It looked pretty neat. But we shall see

[pine roost]

Ultimately though I’m expecting that map with potentially 2 guns and a gadget of some kind. That seems plausible

[glossy lava]

which weapon should i use for bf2042

is gew46 worth grinding for?

[pine roost]

It’s been my highest performing at the moment

But they are basically all good

[glossy lava]

is pp29 still great?

[pine roost]

Other folks here will have better answers, I just stick to what’s fun so I don’t try out many guns

[glossy lava]

alright thx!

[slow tulip]

Hourglass looks very good when the storm starts and your visibility becomes low, we need more of these

[silk jasper]

Did they just seriously release a trailer for reused content?

Apart from the subtle reveal of S6 map it appears it will disappointingly be 1 map only

[patent path]

would be silly to release a trailer for season 6 which won't happen till October

come on now, what do you expect

[silk jasper]

Not much

[velvet sand]

hopefully crawford and boris get some love

[dapper river]

My ass got excited and thought "Redux" meant a big overhaul or rework in some way so the game could shed its past and blossom into a beautiful battlefield flower. but no, it's just limited time event reruns

[silk jasper]

Feels like 2042 is the worst "live service" game to have ever launched in terms of the amount they regurgitate content

[placid echo]

A new thing every week is nice for me

[patent path]

yeah, and they say in the video there will be new content as well

should have called this a Mid-Season update instead of a development update or whatever lol

[dapper river]

ah, couldn't watch the video, I'm at work lel

[patent path]

not much to it really, 1 second tease of season 6 map, then the rest is about the redux event

it's understandable they would want to keep season 6 hidden until like 2 weeks prior to release but this video is really misleading

[dapper river]

and then Halo Infinite released

[silk jasper]

Modern AAA games suck

[shadow summit]

does 2042 run good on hdd? or i need it on ssd

[patent path]

ssd is a must

[placid echo]

Shutdown on new maps sounds good

[vague rivet]

Well... a few hours into this week missions and i am almost done...

[placid echo]

Weekly missions are designed to be easy

[willow sky]

absolutely agree

cant wait for it

[vague rivet]

Yup.

[velvet sand]

Yeah, missions generally being pretty easy is fuckin great. And that the non-bonus missions remain active through the season. For all of 2042's flaws they got this bit right.

[vague rivet]

So... The new map.... any ideas on it....remake of old, or entirely new?

[willow sky]

entirely new

[vague rivet]

Aaaaand... Ghost guy is on my "do not recommend" list on YT. Why do people emidiatly feel the need to complain? Fair enough. They have a right to their opinions. But when a channel turns into more or less a "I hate this game"... Why bother with the channel at all? 😄

[raw pebble]

I hope they fix the god awful ui

[patent path]

wdym god awful UI lol

[mental delta]

Mentioned new content is skins I think

[patent path]

yeah skins and new modes

tho the new modes are modifications of the old modes I think

[placid echo]

I like how adjustable the HUD UI is

[vague rivet]

Okaaaaaay.... So far i've been viewing Cadwomans videos. BUT.... Is it normal for content creators to have aimbots active?... or did i totally misunderstand the video. In her new video around 4 mins. in....

[wide shore]

New map is just Zetsubou No Shima.

[patent path]

where zombie

[placid echo]

I just got out of work so I haven't kept up with any videos from content creators

I watched the battlefield video on break though

[vague rivet]

I AM new, so i MIGHT have missunderstood it, but it got me a little.... concerned...

[patent path]

the season 6 video? I am not seeing anything aimboty

[quaint vector]

Im home, I'm also late to news.. Noooooo

[vague rivet]

Nah... Cad woman.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ3-MuygNWw. around 4 minutes in.

[patent path]

yes I'm watching that

[willow sky]

i dont usually follow content creators for their opinions, but rather their videos explaining everything about an update

[acoustic seal]

here again to remind you that there was never any content lined up for s6 and it was only announced because they were getting grilled over s5 being end of support

[vague rivet]

I TRY to vary it...so i get the most perspectives... But i DO avoid the outright negative ones.

[acoustic seal]

lmaoing @ the people who said i was coping

[velvet sand]

the text on the screen? That's a portal mode for improving your aim and shit, not hax

[wide shore]

Yeah she’s just using nonames aim trainer. It’s a portal experience

[vague rivet]

Ah ok. As i said... new to the game, so i DID missunderstand. 🙂

Thats for pointing it out. 🙂

Oh god.... zombies? I HOPE not. 😄

[patent path]

there was a zombie easter egg in bf1 iirc

[vague rivet]

Jack frags speculating. 😄

[patent path]

zombie sound from behind a bunker door

[acoustic seal]

jackfrags lives in a parallel reality

[vague rivet]

My personal take on zombies: Yeah yeah yeah... we get it... brains..... Lets move one shall we?

[pine roost]

Ghost is one of the most sensible creators out there. he has been level headed throughout the entire game's lifecycle, he is just genuinely baffled like most of us are

[vague rivet]

well... the last three videos is him either patting himself on the back, or bashining EA/Dice.... I want more nuanced videos.

[patent path]

cadwoman is just informative and neutral, she never gives an opinion

Ender is well

https://tenor.com/view/weird-crazy-spin-gif-16488645

[acoustic seal]

enders has to live with the burden of being right all the time

[pine roost]

I've not watched any cadwoman but I've seen the thumbnails, looks to be some good guide content

[vague rivet]

I have yet to look at anything from ender....

[patent path]

I'd suggest you don't

[pine roost]

oh yeah and if you wanted to try out that practise range thing, go to portal and host a game with the code AANJ7Z

[vague rivet]

Noted... Thanks

[leaden zenith]

Hello chat

[wide shore]

And generally quite toxic.

[acoustic seal]

yeah it makes you a little insane after a while

[wide shore]

But he’s been bludgeoned to death 50x over here. So I’ll leave it at that

[naive quiver]

https://youtu.be/pmx3dr1_yGk

[karmic egret]

THATS IT THATS THE DEV BLOG THAT WAS A PROMOTION OF OLD CONTENT

[naive quiver]

paid

[pine roost]

I don't ever watch jackfrag's videos but his thumbnails makes him sound so indescisive

[naive quiver]

Never say no to money

[vague rivet]

I also try to avoid videos that have the introduction last more than 20 seconds (I dont give a hoot about your graphic talent, or lack thereof), OR people who treat it like an 80's MTV intro.

[karmic egret]

I mean Jack is a really nice person and I don't hate him but he does need to stop meat riding DICE

[naive quiver]

he got paid

[karmic egret]

Yeah and?

[naive quiver]

And money win

[karmic egret]

He gotta pay the bills and put food on table somehow

[placid echo]

Ali-A

[karmic egret]

Ali A click baits aswell

[naive quiver]

Not just him for everyone pls

[karmic egret]

Nah fuck everyone else

[vague rivet]

Not familiar with that name. 😄 I almost HAVE to look it up now. 😄

[placid echo]

For the sake of your ears, no

[naive quiver]

[vague rivet]

Oh god....... HEEEEEELL no. 😂

[karmic egret]

Ali A bass boost intro

[dapper river]

oh his thumbnails and titles are some of the worst, playing into the shitty youtube metagame of cryptic titles and "inspecting gun in first person" in the thumbnail. His actual content is fine though.

[placid echo]

It is just how YouTube works, sadly.

[leaden zenith]

[placid echo]

People will click based on thumbnail and title

[leaden zenith]

Very true

[pine roost]

well what else do they have to go off :/

oftentimes you can tell though if a video isn't going to be that good

[vague rivet]

I don't know the age of people here, and it doesn't matter.... But making a YT video that is like a 1940's movie with a 6 minute intro and credit roll...... Stuff it. 😄 Get ON with it.... as Monty python once said. 😄

[patent path]

I'm old

[pine roost]

if I find a 10:01 video on call of duty with all caps, high saturation thumbnails with numbers, arrows and surprise faces then it's probably rubbish

[vague rivet]

I dare ya.... almost 56 here. 😄

[pine roost]

but if I find a video that's 1:30:00 long made by whitelight and titled ' the parkour of assassins creed', i'll start watching that in a heartbeat

[patent path]

damn you are old

[vague rivet]

😂

[pine roost]

i've come across a fair few people who just can't stand really long videos for some reason

like I could easily sit down and watch a three hour long video going over splines

[patent path]

video essays are good for when I'm eating by myself

[vague rivet]

I love the Subnautica series that Neebs gaming did. I think one of the super cuts is 8 hours long.... But DAMN its funny. 😄

[pine roost]

you can kind of tell when someone is just blabbering on without any real purpose, but the videos that have intent behind them, have been planned and have a strong structure just go hard

[drowsy shuttle]

wait, season 6 is only in october?!

[pine roost]

indeed

that's why there's this 6 week event, to fill the space

[minor magnet]

god lmg's are useless

[drowsy shuttle]

damn lol... well, i need a new game, anyone has a suggestion?

[pine roost]

pft

i dunno

depends on what you like

I'm playing through assassins creed 2 at the moment

[minor magnet]

15m range all my bullets go around the enemy when using lmg, it almost has more spread then a shotgun >_>

[drowsy shuttle]

i enjoyed AC blackflag and odyssey, but now i pass...

[vague rivet]

There was no mention of it, but i HOPE they somehow will activate the easter eggs in between so those of us who has come late to the game can have fun with it. 🙂

[pine roost]

I doubt the player card ones will come back because those were story driven and were designed to fit between seasons, but there's a chance the in-season skins and stuff may return

[vague rivet]

makes sense.

[viscid bone]

Fair video!

[viscid bone]

Seasonal easter eggs will be reactivated, yes.

[pine roost]

oh well there you go

[patent path]

mr.DICE has spoken!

[vague rivet]

Nice. Thanks.

[silk jasper]

You think the S6 map will be as dark as the subtle reveal in the trailer or was it purely for cinematic effects?

Would make the flashlight to be used finally

[patent path]

it's going to be that dark

[drowsy shuttle]

my guess cinematic.. otherwise will be a river of tears from people complaining "i can't see shit"

[vague rivet]

flash bangs. 🙂

[next onyx]

Such a weird piece of news. Good and all tho.

[drowsy shuttle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD35vjDNcyk

jokes aside, it was the best part of the development video... if its gonna be night time like that... looks cool

kinda reminds me of tarkov maps

[pine roost]

thinking about it a night map won't be too bad because of the IFF

[next onyx]

Dome shaped dome.

[pine roost]

cube shaped cube

[vague rivet]

thinking that a lot of the stuff we saw in BF4 (i think it was) leads up to 2142. I wonder if the new map is such a tie in.... and I hope that we get a continuation of 2142... 2143 perhaps?... Or 2122...prequel style....

[pine roost]

honestly that isn't a bad shout

they say it has some unique surprises, and since this is almost certainly a winding down season it could potentially have some story hints

[chilly jacinth]

2143 pls and thank you

[vague rivet]

On the whole.... I like the story so far..... I just HOPE they don't ruin it with...zombies... 😄

[tiny imp]

Did someone saw a "glimpsy" of new map in latest develop update trailer?

[drowsy shuttle]

Starfield 2042

[next onyx]

HUH WAIT THEY AREN'T BRINGING BACK CONTROL.

[drowsy shuttle]

its like 1.8 seconds of a clip

[willow sky]

which one was control? the season 2 one?

[next onyx]

S5.

[drowsy shuttle]

last one

[willow sky]

OH

wait WHY NOT

[drowsy shuttle]

basically conquest with a cooler name

[next onyx]

I love the pacing of control.

Absolutely amazing mode.

[drowsy shuttle]

i agree the pace was nice

[willow sky]

well at least we got shutdown again

[chilly jacinth]

Personally didn't enjoy control

Cause people are too stupid

[next onyx]

Yeah that's fair.

[ebon pilot]

Time to clean house once more with Rao

[next onyx]

I might just main Squad Conq or something.

[chilly jacinth]

Fuckers barely handle conquest or breakthrough as it is

[gloomy wyvern]

I'm loving these matches, keep finding opponent abandoned air support & transport

I then proceed to hold it the entire match

[chilly jacinth]

[gloomy wyvern]

I try to be nice and offer trades but no one takes up on them

So what they've learned is don't give me your condor or attack choppers

I then proceed to brag about their lack of stealth chopper and their inability to get it back

[tiny imp]

Ah, now I see. I thought it was orbital lol

[dusk falcon]

cause it happened a few weeks ago way

[cold flame]

damm

[dusk falcon]

maybe they bring it back in s6

[cold flame]

October.

[dusk falcon]

were in the middle of august just a month and a half

itll pass

[next onyx]

Don't care. It's a mid season event. Would love to see it back.

[cold flame]

but...

[dusk falcon]

i personally like this, we get good modes and free paid content and dice has more time to work on season 6

so we dont get a half assed season

[merry heart]

[drowsy shuttle]

now the million dollar question: Beginning of October or End of October?

[dusk falcon]

beginning defo

end would be too late

[drowsy shuttle]

too late for what?

[dusk falcon]

shutdown was not too long ago so most people played it already

[drowsy shuttle]

you mean control?

[dusk falcon]

people will defo get bored fast in the last few weeks

[drowsy shuttle]

thats true

[dusk falcon]

no shutdown season 4 mode

[drowsy shuttle]

ah ok

[cold flame]

I like it too.

but

[dusk falcon]

i get it man

we just need... content.

[cold flame]

yeah obv

[drowsy shuttle]

with lot of new games coming in September... dunno what is Dice idea, but okay...

[cold flame]

I hope the game doesn't die a bit during that time period.

[mental delta]

The next season is probably marking the end of the game

[honest wave]

Literally after every match I play I get the black screen infinite loading bug and at this point I'm getting real tired of having to alt f4 and restart to get into the next one.

[cold flame]

Yeah.

[gloomy wyvern]

Na we just need competent people at the controls of aircraft. The opponent needs to learn not to make a donation to Goodwill. Cuz I'm going to keep that shit the entire match.

I'll even let you know I have it by telling you finders keepers

Last 8 matches I've done that. Should I say consecutive

[drowsy shuttle]

i mean, i wouldn't say it will die... but definitely the numbers will get a hit in September.

a strong hit

[cold flame]

Well Attack Helos are getting an update along with Engineers from what's being mentioned.

Or was it Stealth Helos.

[gloomy wyvern]

I will only except the update if it's on stealth choppers. And the ability to paint them with the soflam

[drowsy shuttle]

i dunno... i have the feeling we might see a season 7 next year

[mental delta]

I wouldn't bet on it but I would see a little content drop maybe with Portal stuff or 1 or 2 additional maps

[drowsy shuttle]

thats a new season

[amber ingot]

Where you seeing that info

[gloomy wyvern]

They need to remove these new maps they've added and go back to how they were when exposure was dropped

[vague rivet]

Nom nom nom... late night snack of hot dogs.....

[mental delta]

No a content drop outside of any seasons with maybe a little more stuff than usual to address the end of support

[mental delta]

What ? Removing 4 maps from the game ?

[pine roost]

[drowsy shuttle]

da fuq? all the new maps are better than the OG maps

[gloomy wyvern]

Those maps are horrible. If I wanted a battlefield 2 through 4 experience then I would go and play those games. Last I checked I'm playing battlefield 2042 with the expectation to play 2042 based maps

[pine roost]

It says attack but it could be any of the helis since they all technically fall under attack

[vague rivet]

Bring back the commander..... Call in cruise missile or arty strikes. 😄 (un popular opinion.)

[gloomy wyvern]

I'm not talking about undoing the rework I'm talking about removing the maps

[drowsy shuttle]

which ones?

[mental delta]

I feel like post-launch maps are all better than most base game maps, especially the 3rd, 4th and 5th ones

[drowsy shuttle]

100%

[gloomy wyvern]

Exposure is god, no one complains

[drowsy shuttle]

i used to enjoy exposure when it dropped, nowadays... not so much

[next onyx]

It was the best map we had at the time but it has grown old.

[mental delta]

I don't really like Exposure nor Stranded, I like all the other post-launch maps though

[drowsy shuttle]

flashpoint is a W
reclaimed is a W

stranded is a W

[gloomy wyvern]

Is it cuz you have players like me that fly condors & hinds in the tunnel? Or what about driving the brawler in b2

[drowsy shuttle]

i don't like last sector in BT

[next onyx]

As it stands it's not a good BT map.

[mental delta]

What about Spearhead ?

[gloomy wyvern]

L maps
Stranded is fine not great

[next onyx]

And I have no idea why they kept the 128p variant.

Stranded isn't too terrible thankfully.

[drowsy shuttle]

i knew i was forgetting one lol

Spearhead is a W

[mental delta]

Maybe the best one with Flashpoint amongst post-launch maps

[drowsy shuttle]

i really enjoy flashpoint... and reclaimed.. altough C1 (i think its C1) in reclaimed BT i don't enjoy.. i mean i don't enjoy objectives that is basically a room where people can barricade inside and its just non stop chaos spam... not a fan of that. thats why i don't enjoy rush XL

[next onyx]

spearhead is reallyt good fun.

[drowsy shuttle]

great map indeed.. and it grew on me.. at the start i didn't enjoyed it... nowadays i really like play spearhead both in conquest and BT

[gloomy wyvern]

If you can't take the last sector it's because no one is using logic.

Let me break it down for you:

If the opponent is using their brains and is utilizing Irishs gadgets alongside Blasco gadgets w/ assistance from Boris & Crawford.

Use emps to take out irishs gear or caspers drone as it now completely destroys gadgets.

Then use Blasco gadgets behind your brawler with incendiary grenades and shoot into the last sector. If you want to make it more fun use the brawler with the incendentary grenades and the active protection system alongside with Irishs gadgets

[drowsy shuttle]

Manifest kinda went the inverse for me... used to be my favourite map... nowadays i don't like it that much...

[dusk falcon]

breakthrough chaos on speadhead was fun asf

on stranded itll just be the same as rush 128

which i dont mind

[gloomy wyvern]

Literally the building blocks to take that sector. We can add more and have a tank just plow and park themselves inside

[vague rivet]

the only map i'm not too keen on is hourglass. Didn't like it before the update, and still dont like it.... But i dont hate it...

[next onyx]

The last sector is a meatgrinder in the worst way possible. It played much, much better with its 64p variant.

But for some reason. They just made it that.

[gloomy wyvern]

I haven't done the 128 variant. It felt like it was a meat grinder regardless of the map

[next onyx]

Shame too cause sector 1 is my favourite part, with sector 2 of its 64p variant was fun.

That's the 128p variant that we're running.

[drowsy shuttle]

imo is the most balanced map/layout for BT across all maps. (without having a stupid objective where is just a closed room for people to barricade inside)

[next onyx]

Reclaimed is good because of no gunships and you can abuse stealth coppers with the CRAM.

[gloomy wyvern]

The cram doesn't get near enough

[gloomy wyvern]

I actually haven't played breakthrough in a while. Mostly because of stealth chopper bullshit

[hexed mango]

ain’t no way the dev update was just a trailer for old content 👽

[hallow sierra]

i would always remember the time they added vehicles in stranded bt and i still dont know why

[dapper river]

"the big funny"

[cold flame]

It was in the video.

[gloomy wyvern]

Because it was abusive

Anyway I've actually gone to portals because I'm tired of battlefield constantly attempting to force me to play maps I insist on not being a part of

[obsidian zinc]

is it me, or does nobody really use launchers to hit designated vehicles?

[copper fulcrum]

Do you remember the time?

[naive quiver]

bald Enders

[gloomy wyvern]

What do you mean by the launchers? Are you talking about the tracer dart or are you talking about rockets

[granite island]

Looking st the concept art for exposure makes me sad

It could've been cool

[dapper river]

concept art in games always looks cooler than what actually ships lol

[gloomy wyvern]

Reclaimed is complete bullshit. All you have to do is hold D

[willow sky]

if you think about it, C is the least important sector

[vital mauve]

I TOLD YOU SEAOSN 6 is GONNA HAVE WATER

[drowsy shuttle]

What?

[granite island]

It was the mountain collapsing as a event on exposure

It looked nice

[vital mauve]

season 6 will have either naval warfare or a flooded area

[granite island]

Jungle

[drowsy shuttle]

It's jungle

[granite island]

Rain forest even

We in africa

[vague rivet]

I'll call it right now. No matter what season 6 brings, people are going complain. 😄

[gloomy wyvern]

Dice why can't I have god tier blind fire with RPGs. But your damn bots can

Better yet why do your bots operate on a hit scan system when the rest of us do not

As soon as a bot pulls the trigger for RPG assuming any craft was in the pathway of it without it actually traveling, you get hit

Why is that

[crude wave]

Same thing with grenades lol

It's kinda annoying

When you're reviving someone and a bot throws an incendiary from 200 meters away lol

[gloomy wyvern]

We as a community could catch them in their bullshit. All we got to do is collaborate and time the bots in how they operate.

For example bot shoulder mounted RPGs fire faster than player shoulder mounted RPGs.

Another example is grenades travel faster when thrown by a bot rather than when thrown by a player.

Interesting isn't it

[crude wave]

Yeah, also is it just me or is every ai awful at aiming except the marksman one

[quiet shell]

I'm honestly convinced DICE has intentionally implemented dusting. I dusted 3 times on a jet and heli with the RPG in a single match of conquest

[ebon pilot]

Anyone can make ideas, but whether those ideas can even be implemented by current tech is the real question

Concept art of a time machine will always look cool against the fact that they're just impossible lol

[quiet shell]

You say that and I raise you FromSoftware games

[wide shore]

I’ve been dusting a lot lately too

[ebon pilot]

What about FromSoft games

[dusk trout]

It's funny how current tech can't be used to make a functional battlefield game, old one was perfectly capable. Or maybe it's the difference of the devs.

[quiet shell]

Their translation from concept art to game asset is always 1 to 1

[ebon pilot]

They make completely different games that aren't really technically groundbreaking graphically

[tacit sphinx]

fromsoft often stays very close to character concept designs, the ideas behind them a lot less so - the lore is kinda weird on like every game in the souls franchise because of major rewrites and stuff being changed around/cut

not hugely comparable though because two vastly different genres

[tacit sphinx]

https://youtu.be/TSgTDWfjcmY interesting video about how close they try to stay to the concepts, arguably to a fault

[tacit hawk]

Guys does mouse and keyboard work on battlefield V on xbox?

[patent pivot]

better be carrier assault

[drowsy shuttle]

It will have submarines. I have sources

[patent pivot]

can we torpedo enemy ship underwater?

[drowsy shuttle]

Hourglass BT > Exposure BT

And its not even close

[stoic ferry]

I am Negan

[hallow sierra]

man it sucks trying to play exporuse bt on next gen while us last gen still has the old one

[stoic ferry]

last bf for ps4.

why not

[drowsy shuttle]

I think I prefer the old layout..

I lost a bet

Why you are not playing bf 2042?

[stoic ferry]

ok

[patent pivot]

same

but a shame they abandoned it

what a waste

[royal swan]

Steam down

Bruh

[calm bison]

Then the world is ending

[drowsy shuttle]

Its every Tuesday at this hour for maintenance

[patent pivot]

portal lacks basic functionality

and good ass bot option

[stoic ferry]

RuzzOrks comming! they kill steam first

[calm bison]

Portal requires too much trust on the part of the players to come up with decently fun gamemodes beyond xp farms and milsim servers

DICE could explain every little thing in Portal

How to use it

And the community wouldn’t learn a damn thing

Well not anymore

TF2 is like the opposite of BF portal

[drowsy shuttle]

I think I played Portal 10 times since launch

[stoic ferry]

Did u just make a fresh account to join this discord to whine like a bish?

[patent pivot]

they didn't bother to open up the AI bot configuration

[drowsy shuttle]

I played hazard zone more times than I played portal

[calm bison]

I would agree with you but how did someone use bots to make a wing suit course with bots making the rings?

[patent pivot]

wat

[calm bison]

Someone made a Sundance training course in portal

And they had these rings in the sky

[stoic ferry]

you are fresh in here. and the only thing you do is whine. first acual thing you did was ask ppl WHY they played the game you went into a discord for.

tha makes you a bish

[calm bison]

These rings were made up of AI bots spinning in a circle

[stoic ferry]

stop beeing a bish

[calm bison]

It was actually pretty cool

[drowsy shuttle]

Lol

[stoic ferry]

you came into a discord server for a game you dont like. and then ask ppl why they play the game

if you cant see how dumb that makes you look, you are not only a bish. but a dumb one

[calm bison]

Now available - instead of buying popcorn to watch internet drama you can now buy candy boxes!

[stoic ferry]

now. i dont like MOBA games. im joining a MOBA game discord server and ask ppl why in gods name they play this game

that sure will make me look inteligent

[calm bison]

Oh my god who the hell cares

Shut up both of you

[stoic ferry]

😄

[calm bison]

Thank you

[potent lodge]

What’s the best gun to use for a medic class?

[drowsy shuttle]

Pp29 perhaps

Or bsv

[stone cradle]

Depends what type of medic you are. But I use the ac9

[vestal flicker]

overwatch is officially dead

100k to 7k in less than a week, good job blizzard

[potent lodge]

The one with the healing gun

[wide shore]

Bing boom bop

[drowsy shuttle]

Was it ever alive?

[stone cradle]

Oh Falck. Then the pp, the AC9 and the am40 are great recommendations.

[vestal flicker]

wallpaper engine and tf2 is beating cod on players, what a fucking shame greedvision

[vestal flicker]

the first 2 days, atleast i got free content

[stone cradle]

wallpaper engine is a weird comparison

But yeah TF2 beating OW2, lol

[vestal flicker]

we are comparing a multi billion company with a wallpaper app

[stone cradle]

Ok but you're comparing a game with a utility

[vestal flicker]

tf2 with 14k just like cod, what a massive L to the shit companies

[stone cradle]

That's like comparing a game's downloads with something like YouTube's downloads.

[vestal flicker]

pubg is winning cod

1 word

warzone

[stone cradle]

I forgot that game existed

[vestal flicker]

fr same

mfs added goku, new fortnite

[stone cradle]

mobile version is better than PC honestly

[vestal flicker]

apex is somehow alive

i play since launch abd saw many deaths, now its 40k

[drowsy shuttle]

Tf2 is dead since 2012 and still going strong... holy shiet

[vestal flicker]

L to greedvision too

[vestal flicker]

they roll some minor stuff

i think theres a single dev for tf2, valve cant count to 3

THE FUCK

payday 2 is 7k, thats an indie studio

aka was, bros bathing in money with 10 buck dlcs

this shows how shit big companies are getting, indies are just killing them like a real cod irl

[potent lodge]

Alr thx

[stone cradle]

I mean the PP29 specificslly. But yeah those 3 are good.

[patent pivot]

the indie scene almost granted my wishes

they haven't made a perfect game that replicated older games

[vestal flicker]

anything is indie now

theres probably a drinking simulator out there

i gotta say tho, most indies are copied

[patent pivot]

I mean, is there a game that's like need for speed shift?

[potent lodge]

I’m level 20 so how far am I from getting it?

[vestal flicker]

gran turismo??

[patent pivot]

Jesus Christ duden

shift was a unique game

[vestal flicker]

what

i never got it

[patent pivot]

blends simulation and arcade

[drowsy shuttle]

Need for speed unbound is like nfs Disney editio

[vestal flicker]

only mw, ud2/1 and heat

[patent pivot]

I want another NFS shift game

very unique

[vestal flicker]

is it thst good

[patent pivot]

yeah

I'd say it's a psychological horror racing game

[vestal flicker]

its 23 bucks, you can afford way good stuff

whats diferent

[stone cradle]

I unlocked the AC9 in S4 so idk. Other 2 you should unlock in 10 more levels or so.

[drowsy shuttle]

Need for speed 2 was the best of the series since they turned into tunning

[vestal flicker]

like it sounds like another nfs except gran turismo like idk

[patent pivot]

no it's more than that

[potent lodge]

Oki

[patent pivot]

gran turismo doesn't have dynamic camera angle and filter effect

[vestal flicker]

most wanted has beautiful graphics, 2004 game

[vestal flicker]

why do i need filters

i am busy driving already

[patent pivot]

https://youtu.be/FHA_j1bAjEo

you'll see why

[vestal flicker]

eh

[drowsy shuttle]

Cause the firsts need for speed wasn't about street racing and tunning but then fast and furious was a hit and they follow the same wave

[vestal flicker]

looks weird af hitting, but the gameplay looks good

[patent pivot]

and better engine sounds

and the second game has helmet cam

and it's perfect

[vestal flicker]

just saying, ea will never be great

[patent pivot]

then someone else will

[vestal flicker]

i mean sometomes, fallen order deserved

[vestal flicker]

i hope its not nintendo

[patent pivot]

now I want final fantasy with Pokemon

[drowsy shuttle]

I fucking love when the game don't register the kills for the weapon t1 progression... around 100 kills that didn't count... sight..

[vestal flicker]

dmca

2 words for you

pokemon. uranium.

[patent pivot]

the combat system isn't real time

so...

[vestal flicker]

wait

make an rpg maker version ig

it looks possible, beware the dmcas tho

[raven haven]

Guys can I ask a question

When will reclaimed be available on portal custom modes

[vestal flicker]

a

[solid imp]

?

[raven haven]

Is it only smallest?

I see factory only

Not the 64 player one

[wide shore]

A nice dust, followed by a true beautiful shot

[raven haven]

I love the sandstorm

It looks so cool

HOLY SHIT

That's an awesome shot

[solid imp]

in the custom modes, it does seem just the factory

[raven haven]

But strange

[solid imp]

in the standard modes it's standard size

[raven haven]

It's a shame because I have a more realistic battlefield bad company 2 mode

[next onyx]

Yo orange HUD same as I.

You know they could just tie weapons to ribbons.

In this event.

Get us to play it.

[wide shore]

Ye. Been using the color of the season

[calm bison]

Finally decided to turn on damage numbers and it’s so helpful in jets

Since DICE removed the ability to see health bars beyond breathing distance it makes a hell of a difference

[quiet shell]

When did dice buff the MCS?

Its like.. better in every way

[next onyx]

In before stealthbuff.

[quiet shell]

It also sounds different

Way meatier

[dark mural]

everytime i throw c5 from the condor, it blows me up 😐

[ebon pilot]

maybe don't throw c5 from the condor

(it's probably getting stuck on the outside)

[slow tulip]

https://youtu.be/5-kJ3px9rr0

[calm bison]

They made a battlefield friends video about this

[slow tulip]

Battlefield 2042 theme doesn't seem like battlefield, compared to the rest

[calm bison]

So now you’re critiquing the music of a game?

[slow tulip]

Yes

[ebon pilot]

he's always done that

[slow tulip]

I will critique every part of battlefield game

[ebon pilot]

he's mad it's not the exact same music every time

[calm bison]

You mean to tell me the composer behind the movie Joker doesn’t have the same tone as an orchestral composer?

[slow tulip]

My point is how much different is bf2042 theme compared to the rest of the games in the series

[calm bison]

She also did the soundtrack for HBO’s Chernobyl

[calm bison]

I mean it’s just a riff off the traditional battlefield theme

Every theme sounds different

Fucking BF4’s sounds completely different to 1942

This is just a return to digital farts like BF3

[slow tulip]

Still have the battlefield theme beats

[calm bison]

And so does this one

[ebon pilot]

I'd argue Sam Slater had a much larger influence on the music of 2042 than Hildur

[calm bison]

Even still

You can’t compare Johan Soderqvist (I think I spelt that right) to Sam Slater because their compositions have entirely different themes

[slow tulip]

Battlefield 1 and 5 music are done by the same people

[calm bison]

I know

[slow tulip]

Battlefield 3,4,bad company 2 had different composers

[calm bison]

Yeah and their themes are entirely different

[slow tulip]

Not totally different

[calm bison]

Hell BC1’s theme is recorded in violin

[slow tulip]

Battlefield themes are all similar except for bf2042, people who didn't even hear the battlefield theme will be able to notice that

[calm bison]

Even still, 2042’s main theme features the traditional battlefield theme

[slow tulip]

Bf1 had pretty good music

[slow tulip]

Portal has the battlefield theme

[calm bison]

You mean to tell me a section of 2042 focused on prior battlefield games has the battlefield theme?

Utter insanity

You’re nuts

Next you’re gonna tell me a park themed to dinosaurs has dinosaurs in them

[slow tulip]

But battlefield 2042 in general has a totally different atmosphere compared to the rest of the games

[glossy lava]

he's right, the music is trash

[calm bison]

Because the tone of the game is different compared to the rest of the games?

[calm bison]

Music is up to personal taste

[glossy lava]

John söderqviast is goated

[ebon pilot]

skill issue

[calm bison]

Personally I find that most of the pieces in 2042’s OST hit pretty hard

Orbital is good

Irreversible sounds like something out of Alien

That’s good

Hourglass is good

The main theme is good

All the post-launch themes are good

[glossy lava]

is dislike the main theme mostly

i know it fits the story of the game

[calm bison]

I think it’s fine

[glossy lava]

but still meh

[calm bison]

I think at this rate most of us are tired of seeing people complain about 2042

It just gets tiring listening to constant negativity

[glossy lava]

my main issue with bf2042 are map design and lack of content

EA should have let dice delay the game for a year or two

it really needed that

[calm bison]

I think for DICE’s first attempt at 128p content, things could’ve been worse

[mossy badge]

What are you talking about man you got 6 maps in 2 years that's a lot

[glossy lava]

128p could still work if the map design is right

the maps were to big

[calm bison]

A lot of the reworks have fixed the main problems i think most people had

Wide open maps with no cover and too much distance between objectives

[ivory canopy]

BC2 had an awesome OST

[glossy lava]

It's just that there are too many natural and flat maps

[calm bison]

A lot of the post renewal reworks are actually pretty good

[glossy lava]

need more urban

[calm bison]

I do agree on the urban thing

I would like to have a map set in a flooded London

That would be cool

[glossy lava]

oh yeah

[calm bison]

Like if this world has truly gone to shit let us see the effects of that

[mossy badge]

This what you getting

[calm bison]

That’s not really urban

[glossy lava]

not urban

[calm bison]

I mean the map will likely still be fun to play

But that ain’t it chief

[glossy lava]

If its like metro or locker

sign me up

[calm bison]

I don’t think 2042 needs a stalemate map

We’ve had 5 games in a row that have at least one

BF3 had metro

BF4 has locker

Hardline had the block

1 had Argonne

[mossy badge]

Yep maybe engine can't handle dense urban map with 128 players that's why they make flat empty maps

[calm bison]

And v had underground

[calm bison]

The engine probably could

[glossy lava]

maybe, but didn't they stop maing maops for 128?

[mossy badge]

Minimum System requirements will be 4090

[calm bison]

TBH we’re just regular players. We have not a clue to the limits to the frostbite engine

Let alone this version

[mossy badge]

I don't know

[glossy lava]

i also think its bcuz lack of rescources

[ivory canopy]

I really hope that EA DICE consider adding new weapons to the game, even if just adding more vault weapons from previous games. There's a lot of Portal weapons already in the game that aren't in AOW mode so it surely couldn't be hard to port those to AOW to tide us over while we await S6.
Then again, idk if I can expect it.

[glossy lava]

most of dice team are now working on the next bf

[mossy badge]

Probably yes

[slow tulip]

The developers first attempt with battlefield in general, majority of them never worked on the older titles

[calm bison]

For all we know Frostbite could run a map 3x the size of Verdansk with double the level of detail

[ebon pilot]

they wanted to spread out the action so that it's not 128 players all fighting in one specific space

like flashpoint

[calm bison]

Flashpoint 128p Conquest is a headache

However

I would still play it over renewal

[glossy lava]

Jack said something intersting about adding maps from b1 or bfv by just importing them

add all portal weapons to aow

[calm bison]

I think a 2042 version of Rotterdam or Amiens could be really cool

[slow tulip]

Frostbite could do better destruction but it wasn't utilized much in bf2042

[glossy lava]

They created bf2042 in a span of 1.2 years

at home

[mossy badge]

In previous games they did fine with 64

[ivory canopy]

Yeah the LEVOLUTION!!!!! was pretty underwhelming for me, in BF2042.

[glossy lava]

which is a recipe for disaster

[slow tulip]

Harsh deadline as it was told by the former devs, it never stood a chance

[glossy lava]

how they even managed to do 128p and all that

[mossy badge]

Running flat empty maps with no density is definitely easy

[glossy lava]

is actually very impressing

[calm bison]

I think given the circumstances of 2042’s development, things could have been infinitely worse

[glossy lava]

imagine if they had 3 years and were working from office instead

[calm bison]

I mean these maps have a lot of density

[ivory canopy]

They were infinitely worse. The game launched in a state that was nigh-unplayable.

[calm bison]

It’s mostly a lot of smaller destructibles

[ivory canopy]

and they delayed it to fix bugs, to release it in a still nigh-unplayable state.

[calm bison]

Seeing the bunker on orbital before the interior gets destroyed is honestly pretty fun

[glossy lava]

a month delay is nothing

it needed 2 years

[calm bison]

Personally I think DICE should’ve gone farther with the underground portion of Hourglass

As it stands it’s just a hallway

[ivory canopy]

The game would've fared better if it made a good first impression, and it very much failed to, even for big fans of the franchise such as myself.

I remember playing before S1 and was like, "I paid $96 and this is all they've to offer?"

(yes, I shamefully paid that much for the game)

[glossy lava]

damn

[ivory canopy]

I mentioned this earlier today, but I wonder how my money would've gone if I instead used it to buy the last five mainline Touhou games

[glossy lava]

ya'll think they should follow battlebit's blueprint for the next bf game

[ivory canopy]

I've never heard of it.

[glossy lava]

Battlebit remasterd

[slow tulip]

Make a remaster of bf3/bf4

[glossy lava]

bf3 better

a mix of bf2, 3 & 4 would be awesome

[slow tulip]

The former devs said bf3/4 remaster would do far better than bf2042

[ivory canopy]

I think they need to start by making the game control well, while adhering to some degree of realism. Control factors huge into a game's playability.

[glossy lava]

release a remaster in 2024

and release the next bf 2025

[ivory canopy]

I don't want a remaster of BF3/4 tbh. Those games are still alive, are they not?

[glossy lava]

or keep updating bf2042

[glossy lava]

they are but they could probably improve some small thingsa

like netcode and shit

[ivory canopy]

True

BF3 is too blue, if you know what I mean. Gets to the eyes after a while.

[glossy lava]

yeah

[slow tulip]

https://twitter.com/JaqubAjmal/status/1488913187563098121?t=O-tJRX7B6571hkeeoPhgIw&s=19

[glossy lava]

they released a bf3 mod called venice unleashed which fixed the blue filter

[slow tulip]

Listen to this former dice dev

[glossy lava]

but that mod diead quickly

[ivory canopy]

I personally liked BF4 more.

Felt more feature complete to me, and there were so many primary weapons available it's nuts

[slow tulip]

Former dice devs also said that EA doesn't like criticism

[ivory canopy]

I got the tag (500 kills) for every single primary and secondary in that game

[slow tulip]

https://twitter.com/jbripley/status/1662219274390487040?t=mTsXO83UwK_1ckoa6QYLEA&s=19

[ivory canopy]

I bought BF1 cheap when it got cheap and I find it to be quite fun too.

[slow tulip]

Vince zampella is now leading battlefield, it's gonna be interesting

[glossy lava]

he better be good

or else bf is fucked

[ivory canopy]

I'm still stuck trying to T1 the XCE BAR in BF2042

I just haven't been playing a whole lot.

[glossy lava]

i really like bf2042 cosmetics

very underrated

unlike cod

[ivory canopy]

Plus my rate of kills with that compared to the shorty are about even, so I might wind up getting T1 on both simultaneously, or very close together

[glossy lava]

with nicki minaj

[onyx mica]

i don't like renewal

[slow tulip]

He led COD until Activision wrongfully fired him

[mossy badge]

I don't think so otherwise they wouldn't be reworking the maps and adding cover making it not feel empty sadly they did really bad maps still look very flat empty

[robust aspen]

Thes games fun, although different from what "battlefield" is. But the content lacking is what hurts

Specialists...

[ivory canopy]

Boris is easily among the worst specialists

So unfortunate because there's a lot of potential to make him work.

[slow tulip]

Specialists Shouldn't be in battlefield

[onyx mica]

i will be hurt for a tiny bit if an ai take my tags but that's it, this game is awesome

[ivory canopy]

At least they made Crawford into the "repair machines fast" guy, to an extent.

So Crawford has something...

[slow tulip]

Lis is good

[ivory canopy]

Still, though, Lis is the best engi specialist.

[onyx mica]

she is so adorable

my main now

[ivory canopy]

I haven't really used any of the assault specialists so extensively, except for Mackay

[onyx mica]

have u heard her screaming

[ivory canopy]

Sundance seems alright with their wingsuit but T1ing them will be nuts with the scatter grenades. I haven't used Dozer much, but I can only imagine he'll be fun. As for Zain? Sure.

I haven't had a good excuse for not using the assault specialists.

I've just been on T1ing other specialists.

[onyx mica]

i play engi mostly

not playing assault

[ivory canopy]

I have a T1 on Angel, Falck, and every recon specialist.

My ranking for the recon specialists goes as:
Rao
Casper
Blasco
Paik

[onyx mica]

i like rao

before i met lis

[ivory canopy]

Rao is debatably the best for aggressive recon

[glossy lava]

dozer has the best skins

but i hate using him

[queen dagger]

hot take? the ac9 is the second best smg

[ivory canopy]

AC9 is pretty good when you have your aim lined up

[cosmic dragon]

is it just me or does the hourglass layout look kinda like golmud

[queen dagger]

more reliable than the k30 in my opinion

[cosmic dragon]

on its side

[onyx mica]

not using much smgs in bf so i would not know which one is better

[ivory canopy]

I've got a T1 on the PP2k, the PP29, and the AKS-74u

[queen dagger]

yo optimus

[ivory canopy]

AKS has decent range so it's good for short range snipes

PP2000 has insane hipfire accuracy

[onyx mica]

i like ak now

i guess i missed cs go

[queen dagger]

send me a detailed and very informative map layout of all of your tank hiding spots on every single map. im trying to get away from these hokums

[onyx mica]

i never hide

u will see me coming it is either i die first or them

[queen dagger]

how do u deal with hokums

[onyx mica]

i am using ramborghini now

😄

the better tank with flak pod to kill every chopper that hates me

with beacon

[queen dagger]

and speeeed

[onyx mica]

brmmm brrrmmm

[queen dagger]

though its armor is a bit iff

one recoilles and ur basically 30 hp

[calm bison]

Get a jet

Shoot the fucker

[onyx mica]

yep ram is fragile but fun

[queen dagger]

i literally dont know how to fly a jet and yes its a skill issue

[onyx mica]

see u play like this with ram >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dtz5h3DGMYg

[stable bramble]

Hi

[charred stag]

I can fly an F35 but I am shit at flying an SU-57

[calm bison]

Well just like… learn

[onyx mica]

need to memorize all the maps including where are the rocks and trees located

[calm bison]

If a goober like me can fly them and get them both tier 1’d you can do the same

[queen dagger]

i got the eod bot tier 1 before getting one kill with the jets combined

[charred stag]

I managed to get the defibrillator to tier 1 I think

Or was it the med pen

[novel salmon]

So the elite edition is pointless ?

[charred stag]

Yeah basically

[novel salmon]

Everything you get in it can be unlocked ?

[calm bison]

Nearing that

[charred stag]

Also is sundance even worth using anymore? I tried using her today and she feels too hard to use because her scatter grenades don't kill and sometimes miss,even when I throw it at a group that is in a corner

[ivory canopy]

I'm within 300 smoke grenades of getting T1 for them

[crude matrix]

what the hell is tier one

[queen dagger]

i have almost everything in the game tier 1

[wide shore]

I have all the seasons T1

That’s my only claim to fame

I could never T1 every specialist/vehicle/gun

[queen dagger]

its a mastery

[queen dagger]

im in the motion of doing every vehicle

let me flex real quick

im doing the MAV now

[wide shore]

Those season badges have got you good tho

And I got the ammo box T1.

[queen dagger]

yes. it keeps my up at night

[wide shore]

You got me beat on everything else tho. I don’t even have a single vehicle t1

Nor any assault characters

[onyx mica]

about chopper you need to attack them first, otherwise you will most likely will be dead soon

check maps every 15 sec

they die check the map after 1 min

repeat

also jet and transport heli

read combat logs as well

[queen dagger]

the only helis i got t1 is huron condor and hind

[onyx mica]

i mean to watch their respawn time

and which one dies first, jet heli transport

[compact zealot]

anyone want to help@me out a little bit

[queen dagger]

whatu need help with

[compact zealot]

Just been like 6 months since I played and trying to get key binds figured out but it’s just overwhelming

Just maybe help with movement and just some general help. I work like 50 hrs a week and don’t have a ton of free time but I enjoy gaming

I don’t get s lot of time to play (maybe could hrs at most per week)

But just was wondering if someone wouldn’t mind helping someone who has had the game for a while just haven’t played it

If anyone wants to help me out, that would be appreciated. I like the game just garbage at it as I don’t really know what to do other than to shoot

[undone thistle]

I keep getting unable to load persistance error

any idea?

my internet is fine, i literally only have connection issues with this only game

[alpine vector]

Easiest way/mode to get marksman kills?

[queen dagger]

camp

[noble bronze]

Are the servers down?

[onyx mica]

never

[livid tusk]

so let me guess ...developers again messed with the weapons...

now the LMG have been detuned.

[thick shadow]

What's in the new update?

[queen dagger]

#game-news message

[paper olive]

what do i need to add on to my weapon to make it handle better

what stats am I looking for

[livid tusk]

the developers don't know how to make the weapons perform.

they have been developing this game for over 11 years, but they still can't get it figured out.

[royal swan]

Don't listen to lazy turtle, he went completely insane. But it's best to go for accuracy over recoil, unless the recoil is a problem then go for recoil attachments

[paper olive]

recoil makes gun go up ?

[livid tusk]

facts are facts!

11 years in development and they can't figure it out.

[royal swan]

Genuinely but it's easy to maintain so go for attachments that support accuracy

[paper olive]

wait

whats handling mean vs accuracy

same thing how u handle ur gun and how well it shoots

[royal swan]

Handling is more steadiness of the gun

[livid tusk]

Recoil can make a rifle's aim go up or down ....for the game they have recoil of the vertical and horizontal axes.

best thing to do is going into a private server and stand about 25m from a wall and try the different attachments to see what it does to the rifle you want to use.

[royal swan]

There is a portal server made for testing

[livid tusk]

until the next update and they screw up the dynamics of the rifles.

[royal swan]

It's an aim trainer

[paper olive]

ty

[royal swan]

They really haven't screwed up the gunplay

[paper olive]

all I know is I like guns with slower fire rate

its much easier to get kills and 1v1

[livid tusk]

LMG's have been screwed up again.

[paper olive]

the SFAR is quite easy to hold up and control for me imo sorry

**control

[royal swan]

Hell before they changed the deviation it was the most easiest gunplay in a bf game

[paper olive]

sorry new player just confused lol

[royal swan]

Lmgs are now lmgs

Use a bipod

[livid tusk]

the M249 is not the same, it was a decent build before and now they had tuned down the hit power.

[paper olive]

the only time i see people gun me down with LMGs are when they go prone

all I remember was using LMG in bad company 2 a lot

the M60 or M249 or something

[royal swan]

Lmgs in close range can still fuck shit up

[livid tusk]

SCAR and M60 and other .308 based weapons should have more dispersion.

[royal swan]

Avancys is probably the lmg you wanna use

[livid tusk]

Avancys - M249 - was detuned.

Hit power is now worse.

[royal swan]

Surprised you didn't mention the rm68 directly

Honestly if you have good recoil control and wanna kill long ranges, the dmrs and snipers are the way to go

[livid tusk]

The RM 68 is - I think - based on the 556 cartridge.

[royal swan]

It's about time dmrs and sniper took back their spot as long range combat gods

[plain dew]

@royal swan what ars and subs do you think are good

[ebon pilot]

Neither the RM68 or the M5A3 would be using 5.56 because they're based on the RM-277 and the XM7 which uses .277 cartridge

[plain dew]

Im tryna get a feel for whats good or not, seems like a higher fire rate is the way to go for most

[royal swan]

Scar is the best AR to use

And the bison is the best smg

[vernal pine]

Can anyone connected online services?

[radiant prism]

The Avancys is actually the FN Evolys, not the M249

As for the M5A3 and RM68, both are originally chambered in 6.8mm. However given their ammo types, I thinks it’s assumed that they can fire both 6.8 and 5.56.

For example the M5 definitely has its 6.8 rounds present in the 20 “High Power” round straight magazine, but also has more standard STANAG-style magazines with higher capacities that to me evoke 5.56 as well as the obvious 9mm conversion for the close combat rounds. I would assume with the RM it’s 6.8 for Standard Issue, 5.56 for Close Combat

^ those are all the different mag configurations for the M5

Also just to note, the Avancys and SFAR-M are noted on the side to be chambered in 7.62

[white geyser]

I grind the M5 rifle

[radiant prism]

Yeah I just equipped a default skin for the pics lmao

I think it’s pretty safe to assume that a lot of guns calibers are being changed on the fly

Somehow

Better have quick change barrels ready lol

I looked at the RM68, the only difference for the most part was the color of the magazine

So perhaps there it’s just supposedly different grains/power of cartridge? There’s plenty of fuckiness with mag sizes in this game

For example the DM7 with close combat rounds holds 21 rounds, however the magazine it has holds 32 IRL

(I know that because I have access to one IRL)

Not to mention plenty of magazines, while being externally the same, hold different ammo counts based on ammo type

Obviously this comes down to game balance as opposed to pure realism

[magic bloom]

Well actually the new SIG rifle had a 5.56 variant but you’d have to swap way more parts than just the mag to make it into 5.56

[magic bloom]

And quick change bolts lol

[ebon pilot]

DM7 but real?

When's dice gonna add my gun

add left handed guns dice

[radiant prism]

Yes actually

Except no automatic mode that the DM7 has on the model in game? For some reason

Idk if the DDM4V7 Pro has automatic

Slightly better pic but my front camera on my phone is broken so it’s tough

[dusky blade]

How many people really still play this game?

[mossy badge]

Just steam numbers

[paper olive]

Can i ask something

not a troll tho.. i bought a battlefield premium pass for rewards and stuff

it also came with a skin for my fav oper falke https://i.imgur.com/nekxuye.jpeg

can people see me easily with that skin?
