battlefield-2042

[robust vapor]

Then that's acceptable

[sullen quarry]

I got it on EGS with Epic Discount for about 200 Thai Baht

That's like... uhhh

200 ÷ 30 =

$5

[violet sapphire]

Wow that's cheap

[sullen quarry]

2042 for $5 is a steal

it's great

Before this I was playing it on gamepass

If you're unsure if you'd like 2042, you can try it on gamepass

Just so you know

[violet sapphire]

Don't have gamepass and it cost almost as much as the game, and not interested in anything else on it

[sullen quarry]

Aw

Payday 3 is coming too

Anyway

2042 is fun, and I think you'll like it

[patent pivot]

meh

I don't find it fun

a downgrade

[fluid torrent]

battlefield 6 needs to return to its roots,2042 is turning that way

but it still has more much to grow

[sullen quarry]

Whether it's fun is subject

[fluid torrent]

a 2142 battlefield would EXPLODE

[sullen quarry]

Downgrade is objective

But don't let it stop you from enjoying what's there

[patent pivot]

gunplay, atmosphere, characters, game content

[fluid torrent]

would a futureistic battlefield do well ?

like infinite warfare

[arctic grove]

it already has. look at Battlefield 2142

[fluid torrent]

I hope they remake or atleast make it availbe to be played again

[sullen quarry]

They should just remake stuff if they can't do new things right

[arctic grove]

it was from the early days when DICE was actually known for making quality games that worked from day 1

[sullen quarry]

Can't fuck up a remake... Right?

[arctic grove]

looks at GTA Trilogy

[sullen quarry]

notices bulge

[arctic grove]

looks at Warcraft 3 Reforged

[sullen quarry]

OwO

[arctic grove]

UwU

[sullen quarry]

UwU

[arctic grove]

.w.

[sullen quarry]

-w-

[arctic grove]

iwi

anyways

yea

I kinda hope EA will release an MCC (Master Chief Collection for all you non-Halo fans) for the old Battlefield games

especially for the Bad Company games…those were legendary

[patent pivot]

if they do, add offline mode with AI bots

[sullen quarry]

they have to justify killing off BC2

[dusty totem]

Too old

[arctic grove]

Also

why is BF3’s main menu a webpage?

[dusty totem]

Can't keep all the servers running

[naive quiver]

No fps counter on EA app in 2023

[patent pivot]

only for multiplayer

[arctic grove]

yea, but still

What if it shuts down?

[sullen quarry]

because someone at EA decided it'd be funny that the game launched like a flash game

[arctic grove]

then I can’t play singleplayer anymore :<

[patent pivot]

complain to hardline

[sullen quarry]

You can play singleplayer

[patent pivot]

hardline is all battlelog

[arctic grove]

right…bf4 also had one

[sullen quarry]

Without the web browser

[patent pivot]

4 is entirely optional

[remote kiln]

battlefield 3 doesn't use ingame for matchmaking, it uses the plugin battlelog

[arctic grove]

do you need to find the .exe files?

[remote kiln]

it was a stupid decision which was never changed

[sullen quarry]

Yea. Google around for the way to do that

[arctic grove]

I do not approve of locking play access behind an internet paywall that will not last

[violet sapphire]

How's the performance now adays? Tried the open beta and it was a it choppy with 3080 and 5800x3d if I remember correct

[sullen quarry]

Games aren't made to last anyway

[remote kiln]

that's not the worst you'll come across unfortunately

[sullen quarry]

They just make quick buck and leave

[remote kiln]

battlefield 4 has much more egregious monetisation tactics

[willow sky]

is this week giving a pbx 45 skin???

[remote kiln]

you won't have any issues now

[violet sapphire]

As in it "runs smooth" at 30 or are we talking proper smooth att 100fps+?

[remote kiln]

if you mean 1080p/1440p yes you will get over 100

[violet sapphire]

Can't stand sub 80 fps in first person games

[remote kiln]

4k not with a 3080

[violet sapphire]

Yeah 1440p

[remote kiln]

should be able to sustain around 120 with that pretty consistently

[patent pivot]

bitch, my monitor refresh rate is 75

I find that good

[violet sapphire]

Ahah

[remote kiln]

the open beta and today's performance are different tiers

[violet sapphire]

Thing is I ran 60hz before and it was fine then because I hadn't seen anything else

You get used to higher way to fast 😄

[solid plume]

144 is a whole new world

a must for FPS's imo

think above 140-160 is pretty niche though

like now they have 200+, 500+ monitors, that just gimmicky

like 8k

[violet sapphire]

If you play at 240 and then drop to 144 you will notice it a lot. But start the game at 144 and it's more than fine

[solid plume]

companies just need to focus on making a good, well priced, low failure rate monitor, and it will sell by the millions. quality will sell the quantities
instead they're like like OoooOOo we have 8K, 999Hz refresh rate buybuybuybuy nowww

and then they sell like 18 of them

and they all break after 9mo

and get 1 star reviews on amazon

[violet sapphire]

27inch 1440p 140hz+ oleds that doesn't cost an arm when? 😄

That's my endgame

[solid plume]

how much is an arm? 😉

I got my 34" 1440 144hz for about $500

but that was almost 2yrs ago

[sullen quarry]

Hello

[violet sapphire]

That doesn't sound like any oled I've seen

Sounds more like va prices

[solid plume]

just led

not oled

[naive quiver]

I got my asus 34 inch 144hz £670 I still enjoyed it

[steel plover]

ayyyy new week of Battlefield Redux ! oh wait... discarded and the flashpoint map.. oh no

[solid plume]

ive not seen the difference in person

[violet sapphire]

There isn't a led panel type

You have va ips and oled

[solid plume]

oh WLED

[naive quiver]

I was thinking about 4K for next upgrade

[violet sapphire]

It's to demanding need to upgrade the PC hardware to often for me

[solid plume]

it's a Lenovo G34w-10

[naive quiver]

4K price is insane expensive

[solid plume]

4k 60hz is cheap now but beyond that ya

have a 28" 4k samsung as my side mon

[dapper river]

yeah 4k displays are cheaper now than they've ever been. Actually running your games at 4k? still just as expensive

[sullen quarry]

upscale desktop resolution from 1440p to 4K via nvidia image scaling or FSR = profit

or take off your glasses so you can't tell the difference

or sit further away

[solid plume]

sit a quarter mi away and use a $1500 set of binoculars to see your screen, will look amazing

[sullen quarry]

Squint

free anti-aliasing

[naive quiver]

Can you actually tell much difference between 4K and 1440p while you are gaming

[solid plume]

yes

but again dependant on viewing distance, but sitting at a normal desk, yes

[knotty carbon]

Did they mess up the rewards for Battle of Nordvik redux? No Casper skin at all??

[naive quiver]

In my opinion when I was set on ultra looks like same

[arctic grove]

I don’t think anyone cares that much about the price of a monitor if you can afford a rig who can run it

[arctic grove]

You yes

[robust vapor]

noobd0k2042

[arctic grove]

Would pre order

[robust vapor]

[arctic grove]

[robust vapor]

[night plover]

finally got my game working lol, but now it keeps kicking me back to the lobby (breakthrough chaos) anyone have this issue too? 😛

[remote kiln]

theres been some reports of BT chaos issues

try a different gamemode

[night plover]

thanks for confirming so its not me.. also wondering does it matter in which gamemode i get my ribbons? because i'm trying to get the skins. ;p

[remote kiln]

i havent checked this weeks rotation, but last week's wasnt locked to it, so i doubt this one is

[night plover]

thanks

[remote kiln]

[topaz breach]

No class today so that means I get to work more on my ARs

ACW-R or RM?

[sullen quarry]

what is an RM

[frozen loom]

RM-68.

[sullen quarry]

idk which one that is

[radiant prism]

The bullpup AR with the built in canted iron sights

[sullen quarry]

oh that one

[radiant prism]

Added S4

[sullen quarry]

I dislike the fact that drum mag is the final unlock of any weapon

at that point it's not useful anymore because the grind is over

[radiant prism]

I only use the drum on like the AM-40, Vector, and sometimes the SFAR

And the G57 but I don’t use that often anymore

[frozen loom]

Vector with drum mag is insane.

[radiant prism]

True

[frozen loom]

It’s like throwing an entire bowl of peas at the enemy.

[frail sparrow]

ddamnit, finally some rewards i'm willing to grind for with ze new event.. event won't load 😭

[radiant prism]

You can earn ribbons anywhere ;)

Not just the event

[frail sparrow]

yer telling me this now

[radiant prism]

[frail sparrow]

damnit

i thought you had to do them in the event xd

[radiant prism]

Nope

[frozen loom]

Vector shoots so fast that it doesn’t matter if you have a suppressor and subsonic mag on it.

[frail sparrow]

DICE

[radiant prism]

Anywhere

[frail sparrow]

well flip me kindly

[radiant prism]

ok

[frozen loom]

[radiant prism]

[frozen loom]

[frail sparrow]

i'm getting nausious 🤢

[radiant prism]

[frozen loom]

[lilac linden]

What is happening in this chat?! 😂

[ivory canopy]

K30 is very nice

Once I T1 the AC9 I'm going straight to the K30 to T1 that

Imagine an SMG with a bipod. Oh wait. It's real.

[sick talon]

Hey guys, does the new season works for you guys? me and my gf downloaded the new patch went into a party then searched for a game and it keeps finding a match loading the game as if we were both about to play and then kicks both of us out into the main menu its like the 10th time it does it, we have latest patch, graphic drivers, restarted EA App as well and PC's

[lilac linden]

Try a different game mode.

[willow sky]

i touched the mp9 and never let go since

idk why i started to like it

[radiant prism]

MP9 is a bit underrated

[willow sky]

for those who suck ass at recoil control (like me) this gun feels great in my hands

[radiant prism]

It’s got pretty sneakily good hipfire

[idle saddle]

WHY DO I ALWAYS GET TO BE IN THE WORSE TEAM???

add a fucking change team button

[solid plume]

vector drum mag is so filthy, especially with sundance

its like 52, 54 rounds

can get 3-4 kills in 2 seconds

[frozen loom]

I should go stealth with it.

[naive quiver]

you didn’t paid enough

[proper vapor]

Is there a bug with chaos breakthrough? All my lobbies cap at 32 on both sides

[sullen quarry]

Hi

[frozen loom]

You say hi a lot.

[sullen quarry]

Yes I do

I attempt to revive chat

[frozen loom]

[sullen quarry]

[frozen loom]

[sullen quarry]

Idk what to do in 2042

[frozen loom]

Unlock all gun attachments.

[sullen quarry]

hmmmm

I wanna T1 Mackay

[frozen loom]

That’s the first thing I did when I got the game.

[sullen quarry]

400/1200

[still vault]

[lilac linden]

THERES THE BOIN BLOB AGAIN I LOVE IT

[frozen loom]

[still vault]

I also designed a six sided Boin for BF6 for fun

[frozen loom]

[sullen quarry]

[lilac linden]

Yeah I remember us talking about that one day

[sullen quarry]

[frozen loom]

[sullen quarry]

[lilac linden]

[frozen loom]

[sullen quarry]

[sullen quarry]

[lilac linden]

[sullen quarry]

[lone void]

I now have all Recon and Support T1

[sullen quarry]

[still vault]

Now comes the hard ones 😄

[lone void]

yeah

my MMackay is level 24 so he's closest

that said Lis is 23

I've been levelling Crawford up quite quickly recently too

[frozen loom]

Feels like T1ing Dozer would be easy.

[lone void]

level 5 Dozer and Zain

[still vault]

Crawford is a pain to level imo. but that is probably because I mostly play 128p

[lone void]

I'm loving BT chaos for that 128 player count

I miss it

[drowsy shuttle]

Why EA App exists? Can someone tell me?

[chilly jacinth]

Crawford is a pain if you do it legit

But rush xl rush proved to be the best cheese for him

[drowsy shuttle]

If they don't change crawford and boris masters I will never t1 them.

[sullen quarry]

To avoid the 70-30 revenue split

sorry, I mean because greed

[drowsy shuttle]

It's the most useless piece of garbage...

[sullen quarry]

:3

Yes

[proper vapor]

Ur getting a full 128?

Mine is still 64 -.-

[still vault]

Wasn't it in the news that EA got a special deal? I don't know, but I would imagine they got something slightly better than 70:30 - but I don't know.

[sullen quarry]

They're greedy asf no doubt

You buy their games on Steam but have to launch EA app anyway

All microtransactions go through EA play

[chilly jacinth]

Pretty sure most big publisher have special deals

[still vault]

Not wanting a Steam monopoly is not greed. It just makes sense.

Just see what happened a certain game engine that has been in the news these days.

[chilly jacinth]

[sullen quarry]

Oh yea

But Steam monopoly is good though

No other launcher can compare

But actually, I've not been buying games on Steam as of the past few years

[still vault]

Steam is good. Their monopoly is not.

[drowsy shuttle]

Nobody is play bf or servers got fucked again?

[drowsy shuttle]

Can't find a match

[sullen quarry]

The controller config thing is a lot of fucky when trying to use external programs for playstation controllers

[drowsy shuttle]

Ah finally

[sullen quarry]

Switching to Xinput emulation on the external program makes Steam count one controller as two

[drowsy shuttle]

Wtf is going on.. second time I got into a match in breakthrough chaos.. and send me back to the lobby again... jesus christ

[gray comet]

Oooooooh

New Lis Cosmetic items

And they’re good!

[naive quiver]

bully AI

[sullen quarry]

Says nobody ever

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah now they just need to fix her

[gray comet]

How so

[gray comet]

Says me

Just now

[sullen quarry]

Do y'all have the Twitch skins for 2042?

[drowsy shuttle]

Try to get assists with her rocket launcher... it happens like 1 time in 20

[still vault]

Lis is quite easy to level.

[drowsy shuttle]

It's not working properlu

Trust me on that

[naive quiver]

how about Boris

60k requires

Dice fix dis pls

[still vault]

Boris is a grind, but not a hard grind. Doesn't require kills like that cluster grenade I will never succeed with. Boris was easier at release though.

[drowsy shuttle]

Servers must be fucked..getting 70 ping.. im usually around 40

[still vault]

It's most likely not the servers

but the ROUTE to the servers

[drowsy shuttle]

Or that

I cant get into a match of chaos bt

It send me back to the lobby

[naive quiver]

VPN broken ?

[drowsy shuttle]

I join the server and during load sends me back to the lobby

I dont use vpn

[naive quiver]

Did you updated the game ?

[drowsy shuttle]

Ofc

[naive quiver]

No error ?

[drowsy shuttle]

Nope

With me its pretty easy, game not working I go play something else lol

I dont waste too much time around bf

[still vault]

its probably nothing a router power cycle or a new ISP can't fix 😄

[ebon pilot]

gotta get that google fiber

[proper vapor]

Worth it?

[gray comet]

The launcher works fine for me minus dodgy collision physics at times

[lucid goblet]

I've been getting the same issue trying to join BT chaos, i have reported it and the team are aware there's an issue.

[ebon pilot]

hell yea

im on vacation and currently dying because the internet is bad literally everywhere here in london

[proper vapor]

Damnn

I usually get 165 solid in the menus but now im stuck at 40-60 🔥🔥

Restarted and it fixed itself

[topaz breach]

W

[red zinc]

Whatchu up to in London

[ebon pilot]

Workin

I came by to see 65daysofstatic (and Chipzel) in concert in Bristol and decided to stick around for two days and meet up with some people at the London office of the company I work for.

But tomorrow I fly away back to Austin

[sick talon]

Any idea on why its loading a game for me it looks like I am about to play the map but it puts me out into main menu without any error

[drowsy shuttle]

Yep, BT chaos is not working

I would give my left nut for dice to remove armor plates from the game

[lilac dust]

Is Breakthrough Chaos being capped at 32v32 a known issue yet?

[drowsy shuttle]

I cant even join that

[sullen quarry]

technically it is 64v64 if we count the bots

right?

[lilac dust]

No its not going up at all

Its capped at 32 v 32

[sullen quarry]

mmmmm

I've had bots in my games which mean...\

THERE'S NOT EVEN ENOUGH PLAYERS FOR 32v32???

[red zinc]

Sick mate I don’t live far from Bristol at all 👍 nice place

[drowsy shuttle]

Everybody is on starfield... and I think I should do the same

[sullen quarry]

Hey I think Dice gave us the Lastgen version

[lilac dust]

How TF is a mode thats being brought back this bugged lol.... may aswell play normal breakthrough since its the same playercount

[drowsy shuttle]

I know the answer but I can't say

[lilac dust]

Well this is depressing. Redux was designed to end right as season 6 comes out so we wont even get an extra day or two with breakthrough chaos to compensate for this playercount bug

[solid plume]

https://steamdb.info/app/1517290/charts/

starfield aint the issue lmaoo

[sullen quarry]

wait season 6 is when???

[drowsy shuttle]

November

[sullen quarry]

[solid plume]

thats basically season 7

[sullen quarry]

You know what goes on in November?

[lilac dust]

October lol not november

[solid plume]

they must have some other game to work on because they for some reason needed an extra 3mo gap for season 6

[sullen quarry]

It's NNN.

N - No
N -
N - Battlefield

[lilac dust]

No its because they were going to end with season 5 but the outcry was so large that they eventually decided to start work on season 6. They even confirmed in a recent podcast that redux is to give them more time to make season 6

[solid plume]

rip

so season 6 will be the death

final nail in the coffin

2yr anniversary

abandonment

[sullen quarry]

what's up with live service games without services?

it's just a live patch service

so many patches you'd think it was pumpkin seaso

because you know... pumpkin patches...

[drowsy shuttle]

Industry doesn't have good talent.. im speaking general.. also investors and publishers demanding and pressing to release ASAP = broken games.

[sullen quarry]

games should stop being made

[solid plume]

evident by small indy games with actual talent absultely destroying triple A titles

[sullen quarry]

AAA lack passion

it is deadline-meeting

profit-driven

[drowsy shuttle]

I remember Everybody shitting on IGN for rating starfield a 7 ... well guess what, they were right.. that game currently is a 7.. in 2 years will be a 8.5 or a 9

[solid plume]

space games just lack depth in my experience

all kinda cookie cutter the same

and its single player..

[lilac dust]

Rockstar, Bethesda and CDProjektRed are some of the Very few companies that come to mind that could spend 20 years on a single game if they wanted to. Almost every other studio doesnt have that luxury. Fuck knows what happened to cyberpunk development tho but at least its good now

[sullen quarry]

even singleplayer games need patching

where did we go so wrong

[solid plume]

elden ring seemed to figure it the fk out

that game was a hit right out the gate

and worked flawlessly

[drowsy shuttle]

Cyberpunk will never gonna be what they advertise... but yean at least now is enjoyable and playable.

[lilac dust]

RD2 was a banger from the get go. Dont recall running into any bugs

[ebon pilot]

We know what happened to Cyberpunk: they restarted development 2-3 years before the game was released.

The 48-minute walkthrough trailer was the first time many of the devs knew what game they were making.

[lilac dust]

RDR2*

[sullen quarry]

the "release now, fix later" thing needs to stop

we can't just accept this

[solid plume]

amen

[sullen quarry]

some people said to me "every game release broken these days, stop complaining"

...

[solid plume]

problem is people buy the game anyways, which is just perpetually enabling them to keep doing it

[drowsy shuttle]

Same.. but that's why Rockstar has no match. They could teach a thing or two to Bethesda or cdrprojekt...

[sullen quarry]

yeah... a fool is easily parted with his money

[drowsy shuttle]

Rockstar are still the Kings of open worlds. And gta6 will remember people of that

[solid plume]

I didnt buy hardline, 5, or 1 after what they did in the BF4 release.
eventually I bought 1 I think but it was on a heavy sale.

and now they bamboozled me again with 2042

think I'll pre-order the next one? xD

fk no

doesnt matter EA still makes a billion $ a yr in profit

[lilac dust]

Thats why DICE would be very foolish to end support before a season 8. We need MINIMUM of up to season 8 if they expect preorders for next game. They need outsiders who dropped 2042 on week 1 to be like "Oh cool its a good game now" i'll buy next game

[solid plume]

I've finally told my friends its 'playable' and that the recent sale of $17 was fair value

[lilac dust]

I aint recommending the game to friends until they either make reclaimed and all future maps playable on OFFICIAL 128 Conquest and/or add naval combat. Single boat map will do because its better than nothing.

[sullen quarry]

I might just reinstall BF4

[solid plume]

128 player modes is a must yes, that was the whole SALE of the game in the first place

[sullen quarry]

I noticed games nowadays go for less post-processing heavy graphics in favor of clean but rather sterile-looking art style

[solid plume]

like every battlefield map releasing looking like an untouched never seen 'battleground'

[sullen quarry]

they ran outta fucks to give

https://tenor.com/view/future-squidward-gif-11759299

[solid plume]

where was the grit, the war, the battle feel

oh we all just flew into a pristine state park to host an airsoft battle

cool

[lilac dust]

And buildings became bulletproof, explosive proof. Atomic bomb proof. Meteor strike proof

[ebon pilot]

because every building could be destroyed before

[solid plume]

i remember when bf4 was supposed to be 'fully destructable'

[red zinc]

Ikr that’s part of what I don’t like about the 2042 maps compared to bf1

Everything is clean as fuck

The atmosphere doesn’t feel gritty enough

I appreciate they tried something different

But I think they gotta lean back into the super gritty feeling torn up maps again for the new game

[solid plume]

this whole game was fixing stuff that wasnt broken

[lilac dust]

Aite imma pass on playing 2042 this week until they fix the event mode. That shit just diminished all motivation to play rn

[red zinc]

Which one

[lilac dust]

Breakthrough Chaos

Its 32 v 32

It states 128 players but its bugged when you load into a game

[red zinc]

I wish they either did one of two things; either lean into realistic feeling gritty atmospheric maps, like bf1, or go full balls to the wall and lean into unrealistic maps that are really fun. They went down the middle almost and it’s a bit gay

[solid plume]

they went the quick and easy route every step of the way

probably because they only had 18mo to deliver

[red zinc]

If they wanna make everything look clean give me fucking massive nuketown not some generic city park

[solid plume]

limited maps, limited features, no single player, oops did we say 128p? rollin back on that, here's some microtransactions tho!

[chilly jacinth]

128 still exists though

[solid plume]

occasionally on the front page

in portal if you're lucky enough to find a full-ish server not hosted 3000mi away

[chilly jacinth]

the only thing i play is 128p conquest

[solid plume]

conquest is boring ngl

been a rush guy for a long time, breakthrough suffices but again- no 128

[sullen quarry]

XDefiant went all the way with that cartoony filter

xdefiant looks like this gameloft game

[red zinc]

Lol if battlefield went all in on some unrealistic shit it could go so hard

[sullen quarry]

case and point, battlefield heroes

[solid plume]

thats called
starwars

[red zinc]

I really do believe it would of worked better for 2042 coz the game is not immersive at all

It does look nice graphically

But the world and operators and maps aren’t immersive for shit

[frozen loom]

That game has a shitty UI.

[sullen quarry]

BF2042 is one of those games that I could put into the category of "9th Gen Jank"

[chilly jacinth]

its a mobile game

[solid plume]

they have levolution down with bf4, all they had to do was expand on that, but we've gone like 9 steps backwards and 40 steps to the left

[chilly jacinth]

so its expected

[red zinc]

They also had it down with bf1

But went back on that too lol

[frozen loom]

The UI unnecessarily adds slants to them to give it that Halo vibe. Fail.

[red zinc]

Bf4 was their best modern shooter model and bf1 was their best older shooter model

They fucked them both off with bf5 and 2042

[solid plume]

bf4 had such a rocky launch but after it became playable about a yr in it just slayed

[ebon pilot]

hated playing 4

[sullen quarry]

BF1 UI was almost reminiscent of Battelfront

[solid plume]

same engine entirely pretty sure

they look very similar

terrain, characters,

[sullen quarry]

the styling is very clean and easy on the eyes

[ebon pilot]

they're both frostbite but so is 2042

[sullen quarry]

but it's like...

futuristic holographic hud for a WW1 game?

[solid plume]

new v of frostbite tho

[chilly jacinth]

pretty sure they reused alot of terrain assets/textures

[ebon pilot]

new version just means a software dev decided to increment a number

[solid plume]

oh ya the rocks are like identical

[sullen quarry]

do you guys remember when games had themed UI?

[red zinc]

I actually like 2042 UI I think it’s really nice

Great colours

[sullen quarry]

cogs, gears, vials, tubes. in-line with the game's steampunk aesthetic

so satisfying

[sullen quarry]

2042's is nice

[red zinc]

Nice customisability too

With the colours

[sullen quarry]

yes

[next onyx]

If anything it's reminiscent of original battlefields that showed your hud.

That was the mindset I had.

[sullen quarry]

That must've been it

to me it was battlefront UI

[keen karma]

tooo many bots in the game...

[drowsy shuttle]

I agree.. fucking ranger shouldn't even exist in the game

[ebon pilot]

The fonts look similar.

[solid plume]

For a time there the player count was so low that there was half the server filled with AI labeled players but also then there was about 15-20% of the server filled with "players" that conveniently all had names that would end in a series of numbers. I'm fairly confident those were bots masked as real players.

They played a tad bit better than the AI bots, but still in a pattern that seemed to have repetition

[remote kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/conspiracy-theory-explaining-gif-13403485

[ebon pilot]

That sounds like Xbox player tags

lmfao

[solid plume]

maybe, all Im saying it I don't see it anymore- as in they're real players now, but about the 1yr mark in they were heavily present.

and I was playing a lot at the time so it stood out to me

[next onyx]

It could have been a bug.

Oh wait I see now. Honestly.

[solid plume]

the names would usually be english words combined, and they'd always be capitalized

like
StealthActor7585
SillyWeapon2230
NuclearFighter9281
TrippingHazard5312

[keen karma]

yes

[solid plume]

and there'd be some 7-10 on each team

idk just was super sussy to me

maybe an experiment to see if AI player count was diminishing playtime of real players or not

vs's if real players thought they were also playing with other real players

[keen karma]

yes

There are only like 12 real players in a game.

Does anyone know why when I search for a game in breakthrought chaos it returns me to the menu?

[drowsy shuttle]

Happens to me aswell.. its currently broken

Just play normal BT

It's working

[keen karma]

i cant... is full of bots

no fun

[proper vapor]

Fr

[keen karma]

yees

I already have 5 searched games and they are filled with bots

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah I'm playing normal BT and there's some bots also some AI

[proper vapor]

🤣

[keen karma]

i want play breakthough 128 players... thats why i bought the game

[drowsy shuttle]

Uh.. I have bad news for you then

[keen karma]

i know

[proper vapor]

Lol

Id even settle for 128 rush

[keen karma]

theres a breakthough chaos... but is no working

[proper vapor]

Im just not playing conquest at all

[drowsy shuttle]

They probably gonna fix BG chaos tomorrow

[keen karma]

I feel cheated

[drowsy shuttle]

*BT

[next onyx]

Big chaos.

[proper vapor]

a whole day without a fix is wild

[keen karma]

i like play 128 players breakthrough is a chaos

i like explosion everuwhere

[drowsy shuttle]

They will give us another double xp weekend to compensate lol

[proper vapor]

😭god

[red zinc]

i just played a BT on the featured mode had more than half the lobby as AI for most of the game

oh well free tier 1

[next onyx]

Should probably play some of the game at least this week.

M16 is working really well.

[proper vapor]

Solid gun

[next onyx]

Especially as of late.

[proper vapor]

cool lis helmet reward

[next onyx]

I got it to 10k before it got the nerf.

Heavy barrel and laser mmm

But it needed a nerf.

[proper vapor]

I dont even keep up with the nerfs n buffs

What is the strongest assault rifle rn?

The rm68?

[drowsy shuttle]

BSV

[next onyx]

Scar, g36 m16 and m5a3.

[proper vapor]

Oh yea i like that one

[red zinc]

thats not an assault rifle lol

[drowsy shuttle]

M39 is pretty dope aswell

[red zinc]

bsv is so op though

if you want a meta gun

use that

pp29 is also still really strong

[proper vapor]

Yea i did for a bit but i got tired of going from dmr to ar mode

[red zinc]

loads of people using the scar recently

i need to try it

i remember it being trash

but i think its really strong now

GEW is probably the best balanced ar imo

not op but strong

and ak12

[drowsy shuttle]

SFAR was never trash or you mean the real scar?

The real scar yeah its pretty strong nowadays

[solid plume]

well it is 11:34pm in sweden rn

[keen karma]

whatever

[red zinc]

no i meant sfar

i used it like

when the game released lol

thats the last i used it

[proper vapor]

Is that where they dev at

[red zinc]

i just remember it being pretty bad

m5 was way better

[solid plume]

thats where dice is ya

[proper vapor]

Understandable then

[drowsy shuttle]

SfAr was always one of the strongest weapons in the game. Top 5 easily some will argue top 3

[red zinc]

i dont know champion but that statement isnt going to make me turn around like 'oh sorry youre correct it was always OP!' like im jus saying off my experience lol

i remember it being poo compared to the m5

that was ages ago though

i think i tried it in the past month

and it was solid

i maybe not remembering the best though because i was trash when i used it anyway

[drowsy shuttle]

Fair enough

[red zinc]

im better now so could judge better

once i got avancys tier 1 ill try sfar

i need to get pp29 tier 1 too while its still strong

[keen karma]

the same maps always appear and it makes me angry

[red zinc]

or maybe theyll never nerf it

[proper vapor]

Hate that

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah I'm playing orbital for the 3rd time in a row lol

[keen karma]

it's been like 1 month

[proper vapor]

I always wanna play the canada map and im stuck on spearhead -.-

[keen karma]

BOTtlefield

[drowsy shuttle]

Until season 6 comes out is gonna be like that

And even when season 6 comes out...

[keen karma]

what

[solid plume]

yeah new season release player count bumps last 48hrs max

free-weekends work the best

[silver flare]

Why does the game crash? throws it off the map?

It takes you to the menu within 10 minutes of the game.

[proven obsidian]

[lunar finch]

is it worth downloading 2042 on my pc or should i just keep it on my xbox

[topaz breach]

I do wish map rotation was better in this game

It makes sense for round based modes, but switch that shit up for CQ

[sullen quarry]

Very strange question

Why WOULDN'T you play it on PC?

[lunar finch]

idk its like

100gb

seems like a waste of space

[sullen quarry]

That's an easy decision to make

No

If you can play it on Xbox, just play it

[lunar finch]

i was just thinking about it since 2042 suprisingly has cross progression

yk gotta give em that

not many devs nowadays can figure out how to get crossprogression to work (apex and dbd)

[sullen quarry]

Why did you consider playing it on PC?

For KB/M?

[lunar finch]

yeahhhhhhh

[sullen quarry]

Then 100 gigs will be worth it

Go on

[drowsy shuttle]

Jesus game's dying... can't find a match.. in EU

[lunar finch]

this seems

[lunar finch]

why i havent played much. its the same in NA

always dead until the weekend

[sullen quarry]

It's up to you

PC all the way for me

[drowsy shuttle]

BT is always the first to die.. conquest still has players.. but around 10 or 11pm BT starts to die

[lunar finch]

yeahh control is dead way before bt 😭

[lunar finch]

maybe i will sometime

[crystal sinew]

Can anyone join this week's gamemode servers ?

[gray comet]

Is better on PC

cause you can **** **** *** ********* **** in all chat for the whole match instead of playing

Why does discord condense an entire message’s worth of * into just ** **

Well I was going to joke about the chat censoring but it appears Discord beat me to it

[pine roost]

Cause it’s part of the markup language so maybe there’s some issue there

[gray comet]

Whoops.

[pine roost]

Like you can do big bold so maybe it tries to embolden parts that don’t exist :/ no idea

[crystal sinew]

Can anyone join this week's gamemode servers ?

[sullen quarry]

Can anyone join this week's gamemode servers ?

[drowsy shuttle]

No it's broken

Bsv is so op is not even funny anymore

[modest ivy]

BSV-M and GEW-46 are nice 🙂

[strong snow]

[modest ivy]

[neon gull]

[modest ivy]

[drowsy shuttle]

Nice is an understatement

[modest ivy]

hehe, ye

[sullen quarry]

Hello

I was today years old when I realized you can't T1 in coop

[drowsy shuttle]

Items from the event done and unlocked. Cya battlefield next week.

[gray comet]

Stealth helicopters are so stealthy to radar that they are immune to lasers too?

what?

[grave silo]

in stealth mode you can hide from any lockons but if someone hacks you or you take damage your stealth mode gets knocked out and you can be killed

[gray comet]

Yeah okay but

It makes no sense

[ivory canopy]

96 kills to T1 the AC9. Will I see the curse?

[gray comet]

I am driving myself insane over this

The SOFLAM can acknowledge it exists and is being aimed at

But

Can’t fire the laser

[grave silo]

if you want to kill any stealth chopper go lis, she can one shot it and little bird or use tanks or other heli

[grave silo]

and? stealth mode you hide from everything but you can only bomb, the gunner can still shoot but the gunner is weak and can emp

[gray comet]

oh I know theyre easy to kill, jets eat them up

I just hate the logical inconsistency regarding lock ons, it bothers me so fucking much

[grave silo]

if you're really good and smart you can never die in it, but those type of players are rare

[gray comet]

for example, how heatseekers cant shoot at low altitude because of radar that they dont use, but radar guided is unaffected

that also irritates the part of me that notices it

[grave silo]

don't think with logic, the devs probably don't even play the game or test the changes, they just do it, but ya, I get it

[trail blaze]

Critically endangered species, very rare indeed

[grave silo]

but it makes me laugh, every one who cries about "omg heli op wtf" only highlight those players, almost every heli pilot i see are trash

[trail blaze]

You should see them panic when a squad of Lis' all go after one chopper, if they even have time to do so

Need to get a full team one day

[grave silo]

I've delt with that, not impossible to dodge them but the desync is annoying, you dodge it but on their screen it hits so you die, or you know, someone is camping spawn with tor tank

[granite island]

The average heli/plane player when invincible metal pole

[trail blaze]

I remember I think it was Silk, who had like 10+ Lis' on a Condor on one of his videos

[trail blaze]

TOR Tank camping is just

[gray comet]

I have not had a fair air to air fight since I came back to this game

And I am a pretty mediocre pilot in all honesty

The quality of aircraft players fell off a cliff somewhere between release and now, there used to be some really good dogfighters at least

[grave silo]

I've had a lot and played against S999 players in little bird, it can be a mix bag

[ivory canopy]

Wouldn't it be even funnier if they gave some of the characters the voice of Brak from the Brak show?

[gray comet]

Lmao Boris has a voiceline that says “are you a marksman?”

Brother I am playing the recon class, its my job

[vast matrix]

tor more like bore amirite?? what a bunch of weenies

[slate meadow]

Did they sort out the match making yet?

[vast matrix]

ppl who use tor tanks are the kinds of dudes who eat at weenie hut jrs

bunch of hasbeens

[solid plume]

I’m god tier

So satisfying when omg heli op

Tho can’t cross chat in 2042 because sensitive wittle snowflakes

uWu mean words from enemy team in violent video game hurt my wittle feelings

[ivory canopy]

You mean you haven't enabled it?

[solid plume]

Wat

Since when

Ain’t no way it’s been there the whole time

[gray comet]

Its an option

In settings

[solid plume]

Son of a

[gray comet]

I also finally opened my eyes to C5 as an anti-helicopter, anti-Dozer device

It’s great

[solid plume]

C5, the one thing those fkin anti nade do dads can’t stop too

can toss those sweet sweet explosive bean bags right over enemy lines

[robust vapor]

The goodie bags

[next onyx]

Got a nasty 8 man with c4 on rush chaos.

I can't say I'm proud of it though.

But at least it isn't so abusable any more.

[granite island]

Why cant I play breakthrough chaos

🗿

[next onyx]

Its broken right now.

[granite island]

Oh I finally got a match

It's discarded

[strong snow]

[gray comet]

Im sorry

[keen karma]

breakthrough chaos no workingggg

[ivory canopy]

Good start with the K30

[timber cedar]

Are the servers down?

My breakthrough won’t work

[calm bison]

Is your breakthrough not working? Have you tried every trick in the book? Well not to fear, with the new Battlefield Grenade, all of your problems will be solved

With just the pull of a pin, you can release a handheld EMP grenade into the server rooms of EA or DICE (your pick) and soon all the servers will restart and go back to normal

For just the low low price of $599, you too can save Battlefield by fixing EA’s shitty servers for them!

Just call 1-800-GRENADE, today. That’s 1-800-GRENADE, today!

Honestly DICE should hire me for marketing

[grave silo]

BUT, the new premium version is even better, for only 1200 $ a month directly to EA + 1500 $ service fee you can find any play any battlefield game you want

[topaz breach]

RM68 is still a laser beam

[calm bison]

But if you call now, we’ll even throw in a complimentary sign! You can wave it outside the HQ of Dice, or your window, or at any company who’s doing a shit job at their job!

[grave silo]

damn, you got me getting my card now

[vast matrix]

but they do so much damage against tanks. they're what, a 3 shot against a t28 tops?

not sure I follow you. also, tors can literally sit in spawn and take down enemy targets across the map. its unbalanced

[vital mauve]

Need more skins for mommy blasco 🥺

[thick shadow]

I'm drinking water

[gray comet]

without context, this is a horrifying sentence

[placid echo]

feels good to play this mode again with actual people

[vital mauve]

😂😂😂

[merry heart]

What are the chances that DICE will implement community servers, so we can have them moderated?

[radiant prism]

That’s what portal is for

[merry heart]

Oh I thought that Portal was only temporary or something

[radiant prism]

Huh

[oak sedge]

can someone please explain to me how people are locking onto my helicopter when i am below radar

because it's starting to piss me off that people are locking onto me when i am below radar

[radiant prism]

It only stops vehicles from locking on

MANPADS can still lock onto you

[oak sedge]

Didn't know that

seems really inconsistent

[gray comet]

Yes

As I have put it together so far

None of it makes any sense

Best advice I have is do your best to put something between you and the missile

[placid echo]

I always find it funny what people will say because of the text chat censoring nowadays. Someone just straight up called me a 'nerd' for taking down their nightbird with a Lissile lol

[robust vapor]

Use a tow missile on the tank instead

Or the quad-mini missiles

1 tow missile is enough to clear any attack helos

And a jet too

[placid echo]

Another thing is is that it was in a match of Tipping Point and I spawned in for the first time. Went 20-0 too lol

[next onyx]

Let's go. Didn't realise I hit an 84 bomb.

[fallen schooner]

bf2042 go weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

what dat screen?

[spare quest]

yes

[ashen viper]

This games kinda dead on console now eh?

[frozen loom]

Console is kind of dead though.

🤔

[ashen viper]

Not sure what you mean

[frozen loom]

PC is like a party while console is like a one man show without an audience.

[ashen viper]

I mean console game sales are still greater than pc, but I was just referring to this game. Are pc lobbies still filled with humans or is it half AI?

[grave silo]

this game is dead in general, the redux is trash and almost no one wants to play it, the 128 game modes are lagging and we got no content, expect it to be worse or to even die totally before the season starts

[frozen loom]

Haven't had issues with full lobbies on PC unless it's exactly 5 AM.

[fallen schooner]

why can i damage a tank

with a knife?

OH

THE REPAIR TOOL TEXTERE IS FUKED THATS WHY

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/kmt-yeah-right-hmmm-really-gif-21502858

[next onyx]

If it weren't for the HS multiplier I'd use the 2k more.

[frozen loom]

I should use SMGs.

[upbeat sand]

Dam I cannot play battlefield anymore

[topaz breach]

I have my spurts when it comes to Battlefield

Tbh I’m having more fun with Witcher

[upbeat sand]

Not cause of the game tho

Cause the servers in every single battlefield has just shat the bed for me somehow

[topaz breach]

Getting kicked out?

[upbeat sand]

no the servers are very laggy

its not a 2042 issue

its a universal battlefield issue

[topaz breach]

I don’t have much issue on 64 CQ

[haughty plume]

battlefield 2042 bad.

[arctic grove]

@next onyx

[next onyx]

Yeah we know.

[arctic grove]

ok

[red zinc]

That’s 100% something I’d say to be fair

Are you EU?

Might of been me lad

[sly dragon]

yo, can someone join my portal server to get it going? its realistic milsim hardcore 😄

[pine roost]

[untold flower]

sure if you pay me

[red zinc]

Wdym to get it going

[pine roost]

Just means to get the playercount a bit higher

Since of course starting a match is just you by yourself

[red zinc]

Lol

My man online has a bad enough player issue as it is

[next onyx]

Hey bullet have you used claymores offensively?

As bizarre as that sounds.

[red zinc]

That would work

[real willow]

I used 'thanks' as Rao and Falck said 'You always surprising Paik' voiceline 🤯

[pine roost]

Haven’t touched em

[next onyx]

That's fair.

They're more niche.

[red zinc]

Put them right on corners at the frontline where enemies wil run into

[pine roost]

I’ve literally stuck to falck + ammo box for as long as I can remember

[next onyx]

I feel like you'd enjoy the pp2000.

[amber ingot]

I find claymore trigger points very fucked up , most of the time they dont trigger

[next onyx]

I had one despawn on the stairs.

[red zinc]

Yea they do despawn quite a bit

Definitely needs fixing

[pine roost]

Peaced out

I just don’t find them particularly fair to use

Sure tripping one is down to you not noticing it, but I’d rather not add to the frustrations of someone else playing

[next onyx]

Honestly passive explosives are bullshit.

[red zinc]

You use falck, fairness is out the window

[next onyx]

Medics still have to directly fight.

[red zinc]

It’s the syrette that makes her a bit op

Everyone else takes 20 years to heal

She can just insta boop

[pine roost]

She’s just any medic in any battlefield game

[red zinc]

I know and they’re usually op for the self heals lol

I use her

To be clear

[next onyx]

Assault has self heals too.

[red zinc]

I never die to claymores

They’re shit

[next onyx]

Zain heals on kill.

[red zinc]

Yea but at least those are a bit more niche

The assault self heal is a bit wierd I’ll admit

I don’t get why they have that

Zains passive is not op in the slightest though

[pine roost]

Makes sense given how they’ve designed the class

[red zinc]

But at least assault only gets one

[next onyx]

Zain requires effort yes but then you realise airburst.

[red zinc]

Falck has infinite

Near enough

[next onyx]

@pine roost Pew pew.

Med pen allows for sustained assaults.

[pine roost]

I was gonna say, ‘you sure bout that?’ XD

[next onyx]

• their gadget.

LOL.

[red zinc]

There’s a reason falck is practically the go to sweaty operator

Infinite self heals are super strong

[next onyx]

I love getting a free six man with three shots.

[red zinc]

True but then that’s a question of the airburst

Rather than his passive

I do agree it’s a bit busted

[pine roost]

I actually feel bad when I use it

[next onyx]

Falck is fairly one dimensional, Powerful? Yes. Though I think the perks of assault with their gadgets give them a proper reason to be used.

I don't really feel bad anymore.

[red zinc]

I never feel bad

I love making enemies mad

Gimme the most annoying shit

I’ll abuse it

[pine roost]

I’m very much the opposite

[red zinc]

I tbag sometimes just randomly

[next onyx]

I just play the game I want with no malice behind it.

There's no ego to be had with this game.

[red zinc]

Usually if it’s someone that did something to slightly piss me off, like sniping lol

[pine roost]

I want fights to be fair, so the winner is just the better player as opposed to the one who uses a gadget to do the work

Often to my detriment at times

[next onyx]

Don't tell that to the people who rely on the SPH. They'll throw a fit because they need their easy kill.

Seriously.

People unironically main it and fuck it.

[red zinc]

Sph spam is so jarring

[next onyx]

It's why I mained Dozer for the longest while cause flak jacket.

[red zinc]

You just die to absolute nothingness bs

Just coz someone’s spamming sph on obj

[pine roost]

Reminds me a bit of the softball from titanfall, but that game’s movement means it actually takes some decent target reading to use

[red zinc]

But don’t get me wrong I’ll happily use and abuse it if I’m running assault

I just happen not to usually

[next onyx]

I would rather the utility of c4.

[red zinc]

I do usually

[next onyx]

Which in its current state is much less repulsive.

[red zinc]

C4 is shit really but it’s fun

Satisfying to get vehicle kills

[next onyx]

Isn't really that shit in my experience.

[red zinc]

Can occasionally be good on players if your on obj

[red zinc]

Well maybe you’re a sweat lol in which case everything’s probably good

I find it way worse than the sph put it that way

It’s still useable though

Can get foot killls sometimes

But vehicle kills are where it’s at

[next onyx]

I mean I use it for the vehicle kills too.

That's how I use it and for its use I don't think its shit.

I'll throw it at a person sometimes but only if they're in the corner.

When I use the SPH and I stick a new player (You can tell by the way they play) I just feel cruel.

[red zinc]

Yea I agree then for vehicles it isn’t shit

For player kills it’s a bit shit though

Doesn’t throw far

Like the c4 in black ops 2 did

And doesn’t hit for enough

[next onyx]

It reminds me of its implementation from bf5 cause as long as they're close to the centre it's fine.

Black ops 2 C4 was broken but I loved abusing it.

[red zinc]

Yea that shit was so goated though

And the double tap detonate button

For rapid detonates

I only find c5 viable if I’m in smoke mostly

Both against vehicles and players

[next onyx]

Smoke you naturally run anyways.

[red zinc]

Always

Smoke grenades on any class and possibly the smoke launcher on assault

[next onyx]

I wish assault could carry EMP's but Zain and EMP would be fucking broken.

[pine roost]

Im surprised by how few people use it in my games

A team of 32 who all use smokes would be hilarious

[next onyx]

Watch the game break.

Oh yeah.

[red zinc]

128 player smoke spam

[next onyx]

There's a guy around here that uses the smoke launcher for retreats.

If they're being fired at from a distance or in the middle of the fight they'll expend it and run off.

[pine roost]

Ninja vanish

[red zinc]

I do that with normal smokes

[next onyx]

I've found greater effect with the launcher.

Cause 3 smokes at once and instant.

[red zinc]

Yea rhe launcher is better

Just usually don’t have it

[pine roost]

Godamn ea launcher asking for my login details again

[next onyx]

EA APP so shit it logs you out.

[pine roost]

Well at least it lets me launch games

…

Never mind

[next onyx]

Did it crash on startup?

[pine roost]

Yes

Flawless piece of software

[red zinc]

I’ve said many times here before that lis isn’t even that strong

I’d like to formally apologise. I have since began using Lis and I recognise my error in the previous statement. Forgive me.

[pine roost]

Im ready for round two!

[red zinc]

I didn’t know she hits vehicles for 20 for a start

As much as like RPGs and m5

I think

[pine roost]

Lis fits into that category of if she is mildly effective, she is too strong. And if she has been balanced she becomes incredibly weak

Much like boris

[red zinc]

Absolutely love killing camping sniper wankers

[next onyx]

They test it as much as they do to their games, Barely at all.

That reminds me.

[red zinc]

But man hitting helicopters is hard lol

They run everytime

Just duke you out

[next onyx]

There's an engineer update on the way.

[red zinc]

I need to get better

[next onyx]

I dunno who's the biggest specimen here.

[pine roost]

Which I’m on the edge of my seat for

For both good and bad reasons

[red zinc]

Definitely the enemy

[next onyx]

`OH NOW YOU SEND.

[low timber]

Way, you became a claymore user?

[red zinc]

Team mate could of easily thought he was dead

[next onyx]

Kinda.

[red zinc]

Hidden by your own body too

[next onyx]

I can't use Tugs on BT chaos.

So it's like.

What's the next thing I could try. C4 cause whatever or Claymores.

[low timber]

Parry this you filthy casual

[next onyx]

I'm more disgusted seeing a mackay laying down in a corner with the am40 honestly.

But yeah.

[low timber]

I like it, they get used so little so no one expects them if placed well.

[next onyx]

I knew I saw someone right as I died.

But it was too late.

[pine roost]

Imagine picking the most mobile specialist and just sitting in a corner

[low timber]

Love placing it as an attacker in renewal at the bunker door that requires defenders to go out of bounds so they don’t have time to check if the door is clear

[next onyx]

In the corner what a surprise.

I love covering my tracks.

[low timber]

Just annoying how teammates just shoot at it without checking is it a friendly claymore or not

[next onyx]

https://youtu.be/Op-i6YLQhAE?si=V_CGQxnss1qtv1Vs

Fucking ancient.

[naive quiver]

very good quality servers dice , disconnected while playing the match

[sullen quarry]

Hi

[red zinc]

Top3 cod game

[red zinc]

Does that blow them up ?

[low timber]

Yup

[red zinc]

What other friendly equipment gets destroyed

By team mates

[low timber]

AT mines

[red zinc]

Hypothetically could that kill the guy who placed it

[low timber]

And pretty much everything that placeable if your teammate runs it over with a vehicle

[low timber]

Shouldn’t as it swaps ownership to the one that destroys it
