ChatGPT's reply to <#battlefield-2042 message>:
Hello Ampro! As a Discord bot, I don't have real-time information about specific players or cheaters in Battlefield 2042. However, cheating is not allowed in Battlefield 2042, and the game developers take actions to prevent and detect cheaters. If you suspect someone of cheating or encounter any suspicious behavior, you can report it to EA through their official channels. They will investigate and take appropriate action if necessary.
spare quest
just report them

tiers below 100 are in one team, S tiers in another
red zinc
to be fair for CQ you kinda need 128p
on BT its just so aids
with 64 its too boring
thats why i never touch CQ in this game
red zinc
i mean its fun in a hectic way but i find it too luck based
u just get lit up from everywhere 24/7
radiant prism
128p BT is generally a clusterfuck in this game. It can definitely be fun sometimes but I feel like a majority of the time it’s just too much to follow
solid plume
sure lots of luck, but with some skill you can at least have fun slaying

why the only 3 countries mentioned in bf2042 are
Russia, USA, and my home Poland

thats the thing though i find 64BT to be plenty and it gives me that feeling as is. but 128p is just like...literally CONSTANTLY getting beamed from narnia man its jarring lol
im suprised the game can handle it
10000 grenades exploding at once
red zinc
i bet tanks have field days
solid plume
my favorite feature yet to come out of a BF game is 128p support
red zinc
mowing down infantry
solid plume
conquest is ok never a big fan of conquest
red zinc
i liked it in bf5
solid plume
feel the vehicles for 128 players is a bit unbalanced
red zinc
conquest was good in that game
red zinc
feel the vehicles for 128 players is a bit unbalanced
yea they need to up vehicle count and double the game length
solid plume
see I couldnt bring myself to buy 5 because they fucked me on bf4 so bad, real shame
remote kiln
128 isn't coming back for future games
solid plume
neither am I 
remote kiln
no, it won't, even according to DICE themselves
red zinc
theyll bring it back eventually even if they said so now
popular demand will get the better of the little piglets
remote kiln
why would they bring something back that doesn't even work in the current title lol
solid plume
but hey I bet "buildings will be fully destructable" in the next one 
remote kiln
it's a total mess and still is and won't ever be fixed
red zinc
why would they bring something back that doesn't even work in the current title ...
thats exactly why. it doesnt work now but they could make it work in a few years. if they cant theyre mongs
remote kiln
??
red zinc
planetside is laughing at them
remote kiln
you want another non functioning game?
solid plume
loads of other games have figured out how to do 128, 256, or more
remote kiln
and those games aren't battlefield are they
solid plume
dice devs are a special breed
red zinc
whether its 64 players or 128 players itll be non functioning regardless. might as well make it 256 player. better a 256p non functioning game than a 64p non functioning game

dont u dare
bro tryin to just start shit

am I wrong?
red zinc
lol what no one asked for 128p before they added it. dice brought it on themself
solid plume
yes
remote kiln
tell me I'm wrong, I want the how
3,4,2042
almost as if a pattern happens with the players playing the game
solid plume
NOT listening to the community; is how you get a launch like we've had
then on top of that putting a deadline for release that is just unrealistic
remote kiln
you seriously think if the game had a server browser and everything else it wouldn't have been a broken mess?
my guy, look at where 128 is now
it doesn't even function
red zinc
what the community ACTUALLY asked for is for continued support of battlefield 5 @remote kiln so dont blame it on the community, its the opposite

bro
if u smoke meth just tell us now
cuz this a waste of time
red zinc
everybody wanted battlefield 5 to expand on the pacific theatre
remote kiln
what the community ACTUALLY asked for is for continued support of battlefield 5 ...
battlefield 1 and 5 were when the games actually functioned properly
they are not applicable to this
3, 4, 2042, all the exact same problem with players wanting the shiny new thing because "it could be too similar to the old game"
red zinc
if theyd continued support of bf5 instead of rushing into 2042, it could of been as great as bf1
and thats what everyone was asking for
no one was begging dice to rush into a new 128p game
remote kiln
turns out when something is too good to be true it probably shouldn't be in it but here we are people wanting a non functioning broken gamemode to return for future titles
solid plume
bros literally blaming 128p game mode for the downfall of 2042
remote kiln
did you miss why the maps were designed the way they were
why the servers didn't function properly
why balance was a total mess
did you miss all that on release
solid plume
I was there man idk what u were doing
remote kiln
good you were here for the last 5 seasons seeing the entire base maps having to be redone too
red zinc
ok cool but where is the part where the community asked for a 128player game lol
remote kiln
asking
solid plume
ok cool but where is the part where the community asked for a 128player game lol
just do what cod is doing at all costs to try to capture their playerbase
red zinc
when ive played the 128p modes in 2042 theyre fun
pine roost
I heard quite a few people asking for it
solid plume
even if 'all costs' includes assassinating everything that made the game original
red zinc
i dont know which ones youve been playing but they seem solid to me
pine roost
But you can’t hide from the fact that a lot of issues stem from it
Not all, but a lot
remote kiln
yeah they're also non balanced messes that lag every few seconds have massive hit registration issues and why we don't have functioning 60hz servers in the game
red zinc
I heard quite a few people asking for it
the overwhelming majority wanted further support on bf5 and thats the truth
red zinc
expanded pacific theatre and an eastern front

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Yeah no I rarely drive tanks but I decided to go crazy go stoopid
remote kiln
the problem was the "majority" for battlefield 5, was way too late
it was dead up until it ceased support
lilac linden
Bro I was gonna message you like is this you bro? But was like nah there’s no way 😂
remote kiln
then got popular months after
radiant prism
Nope thats me
red zinc
it was dead up until it ceased support
thats coz it got better and better with each update so the game slowly started gaining traciton. but they moved on before they could see the game fully flourish from their actual good work on it
radiant prism

then it came out on PS plus which boosted it even more

it didnt though, the game was plagued with updates which were regressive, the only things which made the game better were DLC content, but those were a fraction of things
red zinc
started going on super cheap sales too
remote kiln
which is why it died
red zinc
since they cut support
lilac linden
Nope thats me
That’s great! If I knew that I would have messaged you!
radiant prism
Well now you know lol
red zinc
well thats your opinion lol i played the game and am telling you my experience with it. look it up on youtube and the feedback is positive
remote kiln
ttk changes?
red zinc
the state of the game at the time they cut updates was solid
lilac linden
Well now you know lol
Yeah gotta keep an eye out for ya!
radiant prism
I've run into a lot of people from this discord in game
remote kiln
melee? weapon changes?
the game was not some heaven of game updates
and there's a reason it died

I've run into a lot of people from this discord in game
Yeah I have too. But yesterday I was like I know for sure that’s them right? But I was like nah can’t be. Those games were dope 😂

i know what happened im not denying you, they cut it off because it died i agree. im saying its a shame they cut it when it did because it had gotten really good and stable
but by that point 2042 was already being worked on
lilac linden
What class were you running/wearing?
I was swapping between Sundance and Boris
remote kiln
worse it was already near end production for post release.. in the shambles that it was
red zinc
and (possibly unbeknownst to dice) it started getting popular again
remote kiln
it's clear 5 started development way too late in 1's cycle, I presume DICE had no idea just how popular the game would be
red zinc
and you cant deny that, it has like 1k less players than 2042 right now lmfao
its been higher at points since 2042 released
remote kiln
why would I deny that, 2042 scarred an entire section of the playerbase
a dead carcass was more popular than it
radiant prism
I was swapping between Sundance and Boris
Hmm ok. I definitely remember a boris shooting at me with an RPG when I was tanking, were you wearing that grey and blue skin?
red zinc
as you can see the 30day avg is actually higher than 2042 rip
remote kiln
it's not shocking, turns out when a season gets delayed people get bored
radiant prism
as you can see the 30day avg is actually higher than 2042 rip
yeah because BFV has gone on sale for dirt cheap or free. 2042 is almost always at full or half price
radiant prism
Which means its more accessible
red zinc
they really need to reduce 2042
if they want it to live again
they need to make it cheaper
remote kiln
they don't, that much is clear
red zinc
its been like 2 years
solid plume
it was pretty 'fair' priced in my opinion during the recent sale of $17
naive quiver
2042 has less cheater than BFV so the price still standard
remote kiln
it's been full price for it's entirety and picked up again during season 3, and has maintained since, there's little incentive to reduce the price
solid plume
I dont think they can accept too much loss on it from how low the sale was originally

lilac linden
You were on my squad
radiant prism
No I was in the tank with you 😂
Ohhhh shit you were on my team lol
red zinc
battlebit must of cost like a thousand times less to make than 2042
remote kiln
what people forget is 2042 was the third highest selling game for release in the franchise's history, just behind 3
so it more than made up it's cost
lilac linden
Ohhhh shit you were on my team lol
Yeah I was the top gunner of your tank bro 😂
solid plume
so it more than made up it's cost
wheres the data on returns
red zinc
coz the trailers lied to us
remote kiln
wheres the data on returns
we don't have data on returns
solid plume
exactly
remote kiln
so it's impossible to say
solid plume
it was high
red zinc
i tried but was too late for steam
solid plume
think we all know that
radiant prism
this is how you know something is wrong DICE
Wow crazy, the game exclusively on steam, for a fraction of 2042's cost, has higher playercount on steam
radiant prism
Yeah I was the top gunner of your tank bro 😂
Thanks for watching my back homie <3
remote kiln
the closest we have is cyberpunk, from release, and those returns were close to nothing
solid plume
deco just check the steam reviews
remote kiln
in terms of how bad a game was anyways
radiant prism
sorry for being a dogshit tanker
remote kiln
and that's the point
solid plume
dice has a history of this
lilac linden
Thanks for watching my back homie <3
You’re welcome man! Hope we meet again in game!
solid plume
so I suspect the returns were massive
radiant prism
You’re welcome man! Hope we meet again in game!
For sure!
solid plume
because it became a "not again" scenario for many
remote kiln
if it has a history and games keep being produced what does that say for the amount of returns?
not very high
as in, right now, they are expanding the franchise's content
it doesn't correlate with what you're saying
remote kiln
no? it just doesn't make sense that's all
Marcus lehto got hired my guy
and they're turning the franchise into a multi series release of games
separate studios for battlefield development, announced last week, etc
solid plume
it's takin a hit into EA's rev as a whole on levels you cant even fathom; clearly
the game was and is a massive black hole of cost and debt
remote kiln
? then why are they giving more resources to battlefield lol
you know that's the opposite of what you're saying?
solid plume
its not bro
radiant prism
companies dont pour resources into things that aren't making a ton of money
solid plume
why arent they abandoning it?
remote kiln
it's not.. the opposite for a game that's losing money, to give it more money?
solid plume
because it's still a decent brand, and it mixes wins and losses
but 2042 is a massive loss
no doubt about it
radiant prism
Im sure thats why they're giving more and more content to the game
remote kiln
and everything else is contrary
solid plume
Im looking at their annual earnings right now
remote kiln
ok please say in the annual earnings where 2042 is mentioned
and why, it got more seasons
ebon pilot
work will be checked
remote kiln
because like I said
everything is contrary to what you're saying
(I've read EA's financial reports, 2042 is not mentioned)
just to cut to the chase
solid plume
ok

"as we continue pre-production on a connected Battlefield Universe."

Nothing worthwhile yet, just criterion joining in as well.
Another bf drought on the horizon
radiant prism
Seems like they're gonna keep 2042 going for a while
We're outside the window for anything new this year. They could begin teasing stuff for next year this coming spring, but my personal bet is on 2025 release.
But thats just my speculation
gray comet
I don’t want a new Battlefield for a while at least, lest it follow the same track BF2042 did and flop hard at release.
radiant prism
Agreed
gray comet
I do like this game a lot but they really ought to slow down and take their time.
crimson basin
Yep 2025 is also my guess. If no release year is announced by the next earnings call, I'd say 2024 is out of the equation.
gray comet
2024 would be really, really early to announce it
There’s also the perception issue, 2042 is still quite fresh in people’s minds and I don’t know a lot of players will want to trust EA/DICE on another title.
crimson basin
I meant 2024 as the release date. But honestly announcing it in 2024 for a 2025 would be a good move imo to get feedback.

Hmm maybe, I can't say. What I can tell is that bf seems to be at an all time low when it comes to relevancy. There isn't even negative popularity around the game, people don't bother to criticize, complain anymore. Everyone seems to have moved on entirely.
I don't recall such a time in the 12 years of following this franchise which is sad but people will return when a good game comes out.

"production and more content is coming" - DICE
season 8 content I suspect is currently in production, whether it extends beyond then is a different question

and for one reason: open weapon selection
Honestly the way you can change your attachments mid game is amazing but they did what cod did and went from going into the past to the future with no filler
The game feels forced and the maps aren’t memorable

because it was, the game was developed to be a battle royale then got scrapped and changed mid way through development
it isn't really applicable in terms of 1 and 5, those had different objective priorities in mind
arctic grove
So they should have taken there time with it although if they did the fans wouldn’t be happy so I can see there dilemma
remote kiln
they did take their time, it was in development for 3 years
the game was a mess with changed ideas, swapped out and no concrete plan until it was too late
it was inevitable
arctic grove

hey guys, anybody wanna get the easter egg on orbital? We need to be four players at the same time
remote kiln
the maps and games were designed in a linear, non vertical fashion which is why the game uses technology like photogrammetry, the only problem is, it's insanely expensive to run for rendering
arctic grove
Well we can criticise all we want but it’s still battlefield, as long as it’s still battlefield and doesn’t go down the same route as COD I’m happy
remote kiln
it would have made 2042 impossible to run on half of the maps if used, different design goals
arctic grove
I hope the next one is like the others and 2042 gets scrapped
remote kiln
it will not get scrapped lol
you're asking for the franchise to be ended with that
2042 is, as much of a issue as it was at launch, a mainline title, and has to be supported
arctic grove
No I mean when the next one comes out I hope it’s like the older ones and they don’t carry on the 2042 nonsense

Exactly!!!
He means from the franchise not the game
remote kiln
they will never disappear, they probably won't return, but disappearing is a different thing
remote kiln
EA has much bigger plans in place for the franchise and as a consequence of that 2042 is tied in terms of the franchise's story
so it's unavoidable

running with the shield means they are exposed

it's not that difficult

What I’m saying is it’s a shield so it does protect them yes but it shouldn’t be bulletproof

that's the entire point of a bulletproof shield
they have no other form of utility and can't use weapons with it equipped
arctic grove
But they can beat your head in easily
remote kiln
perhaps you shouldn't be letting them get close in the first place
remote kiln
it's really not that hard and it isn't rocket science
you can equip some form of explosive with every class in the game
arctic grove
I shouldn’t have to blow them up that’s what I’m saying
remote kiln
you don't need to blow them up
remote kiln
thermites, grenades, any other form to make them stagger
they will unequip the shield forcefully and you just shoot them
alternatively half of the ARs have grenade launchers on them
arctic grove
This is just my opinion 🤦🏻
Just say ok and move on
I don’t like the shields and that’s ok
remote kiln
I mean, fair enough I suppose, but if they can be shot through there's no use for playing them
would prefer dozer didn't exist alternatively
arctic grove
I agree
I just think having armour piercing rounds go through as a counter or even have a chance to go through would balance it out
arctic grove
That would be ridiculous
remote kiln
wait till you see the older games
arctic grove
2042 feels like war zone and battlefield had a baby and I’m worried 2042 is going to ruin the franchise like every cod has since BO2
I like the new modern warfare games but with br it’ll never be the same again
patent pivot
I like the new modern warfare games but with br it’ll never be the same again
too bad the reboot games have poor offline mode with AI bots
I was discouraged

And if battlefield goes the same way it’ll ruin gaming for so many people
then that means more hours for me with BF4 WR

I’ve played cod since I was 6 and here I am playing battlefield 🤦🏻
remote kiln
the older games were much more ridiculous in terms of weapons than 2042 ever possibly could be
USAS automatic shotgun explosive ammunition slug rounds killing people from 40m away etc etc
arctic grove
The AK-24 for 2042 is one of my favourites tho I won’t lie
remote kiln
you could shoot down, entire aircraft using shotguns it was that ridiculous
land vehicles if you timed it right too
arctic grove
Yeah I’ve seen videos of that
remote kiln
then there's the fucking incendiary bullshit that went through healing
arctic grove
One thing I hate about BF5 is the carbine pistole I think it’s called and the AT rifle that people use as a sniper
I mean it’s in the game so they have every right to use them but there so powerful
robust vapor
The Boys AT rifle isn't as strong as the Panzerdouche 39

Nah it's shit.
As long as SMG's posses that dogshit HS multiplier they will forever remain inferior.
Just use the AM40.

M5a3 has always worked as my aggressive AR.
M16 does well too.
The SCAR I've mained for the better part of this games life cycle.

When you hit a headshot so you stop shooting thinking they're dead when instead you can use the G36c that does the exact same thing but better.
fresh lintel
SMGs alone make me lose HSR %
next onyx
They were shit before then.
Genuinely.
Just use the AM40. It's the best SMG in the game.
next onyx
It wouldn't be so overbearing if SMG"s weren't affected the way they were.
Like oh an assault rifle SMG better use this in my assault class for the extra ammo and general ballistics.

AM40 is so fucking good in shutdown

slim marlin
so is paik not 25m?
because it seems like she only spots like 8 meters at best
yet according to dice when she was nerfed, it was reduced to 25 meters
however I am not seeing that in game when I am testing her
slim marlin
I think I'll just end up a blasco main
like why even bother with paik when you can just tugs+jammer
robust vapor
Play Rao if you wanna be an asshole to vehicles
slim marlin
^yea when enemy vehicles are an issue I switch to him and cause some serious chaos
but outside that I prefer infantry combat
robust vapor
Literally sentient EMP guy
slim marlin
also if you're flanking and you're behind a dude, hack and then kill, does that detect only his squad mates or does it detect other people that are just close by?
robust vapor
Also temporary wallhack after you kill someone his fellow NEARBY squadmates get highlighted
slim marlin
eh so not that useful really imo
robust vapor
You can ask @ebon pilot

If you like clearing squads then yeah
slim marlin

slim marlin
Make them respawn all the way back
thats why I like recon

I can put a beacon and keep the pressure up
on the enemy team
make 4-5 dudes come try to kill me and waste their time
robust vapor
Identify an enemy beacon and just camp there
ebon pilot
also if you're flanking and you're behind a dude, hack and then kill, does that ...
The hack spots everyone around them, the kill gives you wall hacks on the rest of their squad
robust vapor
Eventually they'll stop spawning
slim marlin
The hack spots everyone around them, the kill gives you wall hacks on the rest o...
oh shit'
so that is pretty good...
better than paik imo

hmm idk I set it back to 1440p
maybe I should try 1080 again
next onyx
1080p and 1440p are good minimums.
slim marlin
this game is surprisingly easy to run, I generally get around 100 fps, 1440p, at high settings on a 2070S
robust vapor
Planning to get a 1440P 27inch monitor
My 3070 can support
Just wanna know if there's any difference tho

I didn't notice it having an impact on the sun but I may have missed it

slim marlin
btw what dpi and soldier sens do you use
next onyx
AKS is really accurate.
1600, 35.8.
Or was it 34.8.
I can't remember.
I'm betting on 35.8.
next onyx
Keep in mind.
slim marlin
but I think I want to go lower
next onyx
What's your Cm = 360?
slim marlin
idk, someone calculated it for me the other day
basically everyone I have talked to said 2k dpi at 20 is very, very high
next onyx
Yeah it is.
slim marlin
he said I was going 360 under an inch
next onyx
But if you find comfort in it more power to you.
slim marlin
well, I just don't like moving my mouse a lot
and now I'm used to it
but I feel I'm not accurate enough at medium range
I remember having a much easier time killing people at 40-50meters in bfv, bf4
ofc I was on console so different aim input but still
some of that I think is the game
because the way the recoil works in 2042 is kind of not consistent with previous titles
@next onyx do you actually think aks is competitive?
I tried it against bots and thought eh it doesn't seem that good
but I always loved AKS-74u in any game
34.8 soldier aim seems high, seems most people do like 4-20 at most
(not in a bad way, just in general)
from what I've been reading, anyway
slim marlin
Between 1440 and 1080
I think I see a lil better on 1440
but also, keep in mind theoretically you might also see better getting a bigger monitor
but I don't think its a huge difference, but im no expert
1440p on games is much harder to run tho for sure
next onyx
<@267109533388636160> do you actually think aks is competitive?
No. I meant to use the ACP9 but the game decided to give me a fucking AKS instead.
robust vapor
Ah right
I'm playing on a 24inch 1080P monitor
A 27inch 1440P will suffice for me
A little better
next onyx
27I 1440p will indeed. That's what I play on.
robust vapor
Guess I'm getting that
slim marlin
A 27inch 1440P will suffice for me
yea should be good
not sure what mine is tbh
its either 27 or a lil bigger
