[lilac dust]

I am actually VERY FUCKING IMPRESSED with the new map. It looks BLOODY UNIQUE. PUN FULLY INTENDED

[chilly oak]

Nah its fine, but i thought 2024 nov

i hope ur right tho

[last willow]

Too early

[muted ocean]

Yup I rather wait and them take their time perfecting it

[chilly oak]

3 years after 2042 is too early for them?

[muted ocean]

[last willow]

At this point yeah lmao

[solid imp]

2042 was 3 years after BFV

everyone said released too early

err..more?

[mental delta]

I could be wrong though, but considering this game suffered a massive backlash at launch I don't think they want to take the same risks by releasing next game too early

[solid imp]

I don't remember anymore

[chilly oak]

True i hope they do take their time

[worldly wolf]

can anyone give me the link of the s6 gameplay trailer
too lazy to open yt

nvm

they just shared it at game news

perfect timing lol

[sharp marten]

Bro I cannot wait to play this map 😭

[muted ocean]

I want a sequel to BF4, more modern combat

[mental delta]

Yeah I hope they don't rush next game and take their time too

[last willow]

I hope its 64 only

I mean it has to be

[wary marlin]

so it begins

[sharp marten]

I don’t

[last willow]

Well it should lol

[vocal tusk]

Oh, so its a 4 flag/sector map?

[pine roost]

Bouta watch the trailer frame by frame. It’s got some fantastic presentation

[last willow]

128 is fivehead

[solid imp]

even if it's 64 how long before a "Redacted Chaos" or "Redacted XL" shows up lol

[last willow]

GROSS

[sharp marten]

Atic this map looks so awesome you guys did great

[lucid goblet]

what's in the box! 👀

[pine roost]

Santa boris

[wary marlin]

Great to hear! 🙂

[last willow]

2143 here we come! THANK YOU

[elfin epoch]

Cyborgs

[mental delta]

Yeah but it wasn't in development right after BFV released, they reportedly developed this game for only 1.5 year at the beginning of 2020, while they began developping BF6 in the very beginning of 2022 at least

[lilac dust]

Is that from the gameplay trailer? Was I just too hype that I totally missed this part lol

[patent prism]

So disappointed they didn't use actual blood to get reference for the smeared blood on the floor. smh

[last willow]

Yeah this map is dope @wary marlin , just let the team know to delete 128 from the game LMAO

[wary marlin]

[pine roost]

I know right?

[lucid goblet]

yeah, right at the end, halloween event poggers!!

[topaz field]

megaladon sharkman

[gloomy otter]

The more I look at the video by levelcap the feeling of battlefield portraying the future of cyberpunk is getting enhanced

[deep pecan]

Mackey looks like he went through a wrong chemo session

[patent prism]

literally unplayable

[lilac dust]

OHHHHH I paused and didn't even check to see anything after that calendar bit

Thanks for the heads up lol

[wary marlin]

[lilac dust]

So creepy new mode this halloween? Sign me up!

[muted ocean]

I want the next Battlefield to have a Campaign

[worldly wolf]

the yuv2 looks fun lol

[last willow]

It is, this was already discussed in a conference call

[topaz field]

why nerf rao ability to disable vehicles?! now the hindi spam is going to be insanee

[patent prism]

G28 looks interesting, curious about what firemodes it has tho

[lilac dust]

Ngl as much as I wanted boats, the new vehicle did give me chills when I saw it in action lol I had a feeling it was going to be pilotable but seeing 2 people got me so giddy lmao

[topaz field]

maybe season 7-8

[lilac dust]

🤞

[topaz field]

def from starwars

[last willow]

So sick

[worldly wolf]

considering its a dmr
probably semi auto
but dont you think it will eb too similar to the dm7?

[upbeat sand]

It's Bain from Batman

[patent prism]

From the leaked screenshots we've seen it appears to be select-fire.

[short nest]

I assume the new map is 32vs32. Infantry Only is going to be fun.

[lucid goblet]

Where do you see a nerf?

[last willow]

THIS

128 is literally garbage

[lyric trellis]

Finally my favorite map. The funni CoD Black Ops black marker

[worldly wolf]

interesting
finally a traditional looking ar15 that shoots fully automatic/burst

[pine roost]

Ridgeline was created for that purpose

[upbeat sand]

I hope it won't be explosion or WOW effect heavy

[topaz field]

was listening to the CADwoman youtube post

[chilly oak]

the nda is lifted

[vital mauve]

C r i n g e

[pine roost]

Oh lawd it’s coming

Prepare your inboxes

[stone cradle]

I wasn't interesed in the map at first.

But now reading the dev notes. They put alot of effort in this one

[lyric trellis]

Do you have the notes' link around?

[solid imp]

The dev notes... that is a deep insight into the map design process. Great work community team!
Easy to forget the amount of work that goes into planning and implementing a map.

[solid imp]

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/dev-notes-redacted

[stone cradle]

It's in #game-news

[last willow]

YES! Thank you DICE, you guys rock

[solid imp]

Podcast dropped as well

[stone cradle]

Yeah, especially with working with clinics on creating realistic prosthetics

and scanning and preparing objects to be put in the map

[last willow]

Anyways, I'll take 2143 now

[left hollow]

ayo hold up the ending of the trailer looking spooky

[pine roost]

4K level cap map tour let’s go

[upbeat sand]

Level cap has offical gameplay of the map

[stone cradle]

Much different from the earlier days when they just plopped containers everywhere

[solid imp]

hush
red containers for life

[wheat niche]

Another day another chance to appreciate bf2042

[lyric trellis]

thx pal

[pine roost]

This looks to be the most detailed map by far

[stone cradle]

"We are reborn"

[vital mauve]

Prob gonna be 32v32 tho right?

[stone cradle]

[last willow]

Hope so

[topaz field]

i see a weapon skin i love already "edge detection" looks baddass

[vital mauve]

Pretty small map

[patent prism]

Can't wait for everyone giving away their position firing at the practice targets. 🔥

[pine roost]

Ah so it’s purely infantry only, just to confirm

[lucid goblet]

Battlepass 👀

[pine roost]

I’m also glad it’s not pitch black

[vital mauve]

Hope they aren’t legendary skins so I can combine them with other skins and stuff

[upbeat sand]

The chat level cap and a dice employee talks about how when making the map they are actively trying to avoid HQ camping like in 4 and 3

[stone cradle]

So awesome they're using photogammetry again

[vital mauve]

Lame thing about the legendary skins

[stone cradle]

It's what made BFV look amazing

[naive quiver]

https://youtu.be/NZFhRB4rL60?si=60EPG4dQBGPgsYSW

[vital mauve]

Should be the norm for shooters these days

[stone cradle]

I hope the next BF gives them plenty of time to do time-consuming stuff like that

[lyric trellis]

Thanks for unlocking those memories. I hated them. lol

[lavish fern]

Can somebody explain to me, devs delay this season, and now we get small map for infantry only and new BP mostly?? What the hell? Couple new guns it is not what i expect to see

Why it have so lack of content? lmao they even mark new charm for a weapon as content 🥲

[stone cradle]

cause I'm guessing that's why they didn't do it for the launch maps

[pine roost]

Gives me some Argonne forest at times

[last willow]

Stop being cynical lol, it's a great sesason

[royal swan]

This is bullshit

[upbeat sand]

Welp looks like the new map is made to avoid that

[calm bison]

So is the map 128 players or 64?

[lavish fern]

You are from the future?

[patent prism]

I'm really happy they actually went on a "field trip" to an old cold war nuclear bunker to get the feel

[fickle wharf]

missing only 2 skins if you buy normal premium

wäääääää

[last willow]

Yeah bro from 2143

[upbeat sand]

Oh fuck no not the cod black cell shit

[topaz field]

then dont buy it bro you still get the weapons and some cosmetics

[lavish fern]

what are you doing here then

[naive quiver]

I wondering how much unlimited pass

[last willow]

Observing

[pine roost]

I’m keen to see, or hear, what different ambient effects are present in this map

[oak sedge]

Okay so if Ammo Pouch is a gadget for all support, what is the point of Angel now

[upbeat sand]

Get MORE

[last willow]

MOAR

[upbeat sand]

MOR WAA

[stone cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/norman-osborn-how-could-you-you-cant-how-can-you-do-this-this-is-crazy-gif-23176734

[last willow]

PTFO, drop meds, drop ammo, and run and gun

[pine roost]

Means you can use him with a health pouch and he becomes more viable

[stone cradle]

Not this blackcell garbage man

[last willow]

THIS

Angel is my T1

TEAM SUPPORT DAMN IT

[lilac dust]

Battlefield 2042 is releasing one their most unique maps yet (layout aside), and MW3 is relying on old maps. What an interesting moment in gaming

[pine roost]

If anything, Angel being able to use a health pouch means he technically does more than falck

[last willow]

Cause they are that great lol

[upbeat sand]

I miss armor angel

[royal swan]

If they are doing this blackcell garbage I'm guessing that this season ain't the last one

[last willow]

We'd take previous maps from many BFs and be happy

[pine roost]

What do you mean by that?

[lilac dust]

Yes I know, I'm excited for MW3's map selection. Just saying it's funny to think that Battlefield 2042 is leaning in HARD on newness this time around

[upbeat sand]

I hope it's literally just the 2 skins and thats it

[oak sedge]

Why are they introducing Super Premium on their last battle pass... unless

[last willow]

Imagine if this REDACTED facility was on Wake Island

[stone cradle]

[oak sedge]

:copium:

[last willow]

Missed opportunity

[stone cradle]

I hate activision so much

[oak sedge]

Wait... my nitro is gone...

[pine roost]

Yoo there are flies!

[lone void]

S6 pog

Very pog

Thenku

[topaz field]

it was cheese

[lilac dust]

Nah I gotta disagree with stuff like that. Reclaimed is actually refreshing because it's not a 1-1 remake of zavod

[viscid bone]

It took so very long for us to really write this story, I really wanted to get it perfect and that was a very big thing for the developers involved too. This genuinely is often the unwritten part of content, seasons, maps, whatever. And I am really pleased that we're able to shed even just a small light on the amount that goes into just a singular thing - maps.

[naive quiver]

Renew

[last willow]

For sure, I agree too

[wide shore]

This may be, for the first time in the whole game, where the map actually looks like it takes inspo from the lore. It looks fucked up. Just on aesthetic alone it gets a thumbs up

But also, finally doing an actual infantry map. Big pogs

[last willow]

LOVE YOU, You guys killed it

[lone void]

[upbeat sand]

The body bags in the map where lazer scanned after DICE shoved a mannequin into a bag and posed it

[royal swan]

The ultimate pack is 20 bucks or 19.99

[pine roost]

All of the dev notes and behind the scenes stuff has been fantastic.

[royal swan]

This shit STINKS

[stone cradle]

$20?

why

[stiff pollen]

Ultimate edition battle pass

[patent prism]

I appreciate that you went to an old nuclear war bunker to get the feel right. I'd encourage you to do that more, at least for the nuclear bunkers, there's a lot of them in Sweden and they're sprinkled all through Stockholm.

[still vine]

On the BF2042 YouTube channel someone mentioned in a comment that changes were happening to recoil system in S6. Is it true and what changes?

[stone cradle]

They just had to ruin it

[pine roost]

The sight’s dot will now almost always be attached to screen centre and very rarely decouples

[naive quiver]

2500 ?

[stiff pollen]

They saw people buying blackcell and said yeah gotta capitalize on that

[upbeat sand]

Oh I got scared for a moment thta it would be cod's 40-70+ just skins pack

[pine roost]

So it’s a good change

[stone cradle]

2042 battle pass was nice but now they made it like any other generic p2w one

[topaz field]

im sure EA force them to do that they have no choice

[stone cradle]

you can't buy it with BFC

[pine roost]

What actually is blackcell?

[last willow]

[still vine]

Thanks for the answers!

[royal swan]

Boins don't work

You gotta pay up

Bring mamas credit card

[oak sedge]

Is that big rifle the G3

[lone void]

It's a G28

[gloomy otter]

Am I the only one who is wishing for the G3 AN-94 M98B to be added in AOW from portal

[naive quiver]

Have to use my American Express black card

[gloomy otter]

That's the new DMR

[kindred flint]

lmao that flying light transport looks so dumb

[lone void]

Why is it Pay to Win?

[naive quiver]

[royal swan]

I'ma pay for the bp 20 bucks and have my saved up boins on a bundle

[patent prism]

G28. A fancy version of the HK417.

[last willow]

It's not

[calm bison]

No one answered my question

[last willow]

It's just skins

[pine roost]

It’s goofy but I love it

[calm bison]

Is this new map 128 players or 64 players

[lone void]

I know that

[pine roost]

I wonder how high it can fly up

[gray comet]

G3 =/= G28

[last willow]

Probably 64

[kindred flint]

what if drone, but big?

[royal swan]

64 most definitely

[gray comet]

Pleeeeeeeaaaaase 128

[gloomy otter]

Played a game for last two years and I am damn happy that this bike doesn't shoot missiles

[wide shore]

Definitely 64 again. Which is bullshit

[stone cradle]

because EA was salivating at how much Activision is bringing in the cash with Blackcell for MW so they needed to have it for BF

[royal swan]

They stopped 128

[kindred flint]

100% its 64 only lol

[last willow]

DICE just needs to delete 128

[topaz field]

Dice aint slick they added the star wars bike in the game

[stone cradle]

[topaz field]

128p is terrible

[gray comet]

Even as only a limited time mode, imagine Redacted 128 Rush

[lone void]

But pay to win implies an inherent advantage through real money.

[wide shore]

In the next game sure. But not in this one

[pine roost]

It’s 64 player

[last willow]

No one that has been playing since at least BF2 can possibly like 128

[pine roost]

Can confirm

[stiff pollen]

Yeah new map is def 64 players only

[lone void]

Everyone has access to the gameplay features

That's pay to look good not pay to win

[wide shore]

64 player conquest in this game sucks. It’s only good on the portal maps

[lucid goblet]

128p can be done via portal

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/hasbulla-money-gif-25191018

[kindred flint]

is it a new bolt action sniper in addition to the AR and pistol?

[lone void]

Why is optional MTX such a sore topic for you guys lmao

[last willow]

It's actually better IMO. I get twice the kills in 64p mode.

[gray comet]

New bolt gun?

[patent prism]

Assault rifle, DMR, pistol.

I have still yet to even play reclaimed 128 despite people telling me that people would make it in portal.

Nobody did. And still don’t. Portal is dead

[lilac dust]

https://gyazo.com/5821697c37193b377e026db24afe2c05 WOAH IT SAYS IN THE GRAPHIC - " IMROVED CROSS-PLAY FAIRNESS" !!!!!!!!!! I think it's time I recommend this game to my friends if they don't have to face exclusively PC players 99% of the time

[kindred flint]

oh its a dmr...pog not that it will be better than a fucking AR on single fire..

[vital mauve]

No one wants a new season or new guns we just want new charms ffs dice

[lucid goblet]

doubt, i personally think this will be a huge fan fave map 👀

[atomic egret]

Wrong

[last willow]

Yeah I know... UNFORTUNATELY

[gray comet]

DMRs are better at range than semi rifles

Aim better and dont spam the trigger

[vocal tusk]

Will there be patch notes today?

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/money-cash-100-pay-stack-gif-13263931

[royal swan]

Fun fact, Cods blackcell is 30 or 29.99, EA/dice is being generous here with a 20 or 19.99 ultimate pack

[stone cradle]

NOOOO

[kindred flint]

I mean sure...but then you factor in youre not always at range, close quarters playing the objective a lot, and you get full auto/burst with more ammo??

[stone cradle]

They restricted the falck skin to the ultimate pack

[wide shore]

I have no doubt it’ll be a fan favorite. But I seriously doubt it’s gonna be hosted in 128 very much, if at all.

[stone cradle]

you bastards

[naive quiver]

Dice is watching all of us top up on Tuesday

[kindred flint]

i like DMRs as a rule but the on the fly gun customization really...makes ARs just soo easy

[wide shore]

Fr? Why did I even save my boins for this season pass then

[royal swan]

I hope this DMR headshots

[still vault]

I'm sure I'll like the new map initially, but don't think infantry only will have lasting power with me personally.

[lone void]

Oh no, how pay to win of them

[stone cradle]

I wanted to get all the falck skins man

[vital mauve]

Just want more charms man

[royal swan]

Honestly with college, I'ma just buy the 20 pack

[kindred flint]

wait....dice is milking the last bit of money they can from the players before they really cancel support for the game?

[atomic egret]

Bro, I'm pissed that we are being treated like a fuckin step child! We're playing last Gen maps and modes. Thanks for charging me more for the game, then essentially making it the cheaper, smaller version..

[kindred flint]

guys im shocked

[royal swan]

Get that 20 tier skip

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/comissão-gif-26368654

[gray comet]

Yeah, the plus system was a neat gimmick for the trailers but messes up balance in game

[kindred flint]

this is nearly as funny as "hey you can purchase tides of war levels now" "hey you can just buy the whole tides of war on day 1" "hey bfv is canceled guys"

[stone cradle]

I wanted to save up my microsoft points, I have like 50k which means $50 worth. Guess I'll cash in to get the ultimate pack for free then

[gray comet]

I almost exclusively use it for the ammo types

[last willow]

I totally get it. They are correcting at least. What can we do? Learn game development and join the team?

Like joining a BF match on the losing team and singlehandedly turning it around to win

[lone void]

Sometimes a launcher if I'm feeling extra shitty

[tacit sorrel]

Ultimate part of the pass is a joke lul

[lone void]

Don't buy it then

[pine roost]

It’s just an extra skin

[red zinc]

What’s the ultimate part

[pine roost]

That you’d be paying for anyway

[royal swan]

I'm glad the ultimate pack is cheap compared to that 30 dollar rip off blackcell is

[lone void]

Ok we get it you hate CoD

Please

[kindred flint]

anyone with a brain should hate cod

[tacit sorrel]

I’m just spending my saved boins on the regular pass

[vital mauve]

The new map is too detailed for me. I miss the days of the shipping containers and empty rooms

[red zinc]

New cod. Old cod was better than battlefield

[lone void]

BlOps 2 moment

[naive quiver]

I’m sure ultimate pass is better than cod mw3

[red zinc]

But the roles reversed

[pine roost]

Zain is going to absolutely destroy

[red zinc]

Over the years

[pine roost]

And Irish will be a must

[kindred flint]

cod jumped the shark like...after the original MW

[vital mauve]

Play cod for the campaign and maybe some DMZ everything else is just trash

[royal swan]

Angel is going to be USELESS ON THIS NEW MAP

[lone void]

Battlefield 2042 skin pack more valuable than modern warfare III

[vital mauve]

Rather play beta 2042 than any cod

[upbeat sand]

Body bags where lazer scanned from an actual bag with a mannequin inside

[red zinc]

Ok buddy. Bro just forgot about black ops completely lol

[stiff pollen]

You guys know you can play the campaign for cod for free right

[sharp marten]

God Gaming in October is such a W for me personally I get season 6 of BF2042 I get assassins creed mirage then I get Ark survival Ascendant

[tacit sorrel]

Cod has better quality cosmetics imo

[vital mauve]

Ok

[lone void]

Ok catgirl

[vital mauve]

Thank you for sharing that important piece of information with me

[lucid goblet]

drop the Battlefield v COD arguments

[kindred flint]

was black ops that good? nah...i wont put on rose tinted glasses for this discussion

[atomic egret]

Nah, carry the med kit and just toss ammo. Problem somewhat solved..

[lone void]

Apparently Mirage is actually good as well, which is nice for AC fans

[royal swan]

No loadout crate

[topaz breach]

Is anyone having trouble logging onto BF2042?

Ope, got in

[kindred flint]

skill issue just shoot the ceiling first

[royal swan]

Well I have 1,300 boins to my name

[stone cradle]

tbf they probably did that because 2042 isn't as alive as MW2

[gray comet]

Having just watched the gameplay trailer, Redacted looks like all of the best elements from Metro, Locker, and Hammerhead, in the dark? I can’t wait for this

[vital mauve]

How much do u guys make. I’m thinking about being a mod

[stone cradle]

probably to easen the blow I guess.

[red zinc]

I hope the quests are better than origins. Trying to enjoy origins and just can’t. Every quest is so boring and pointless apart from the main ones where u kill the masked guys

[lone void]

The number of times I've ever seen, let alone used, a loadout crate makes this point void

[gray comet]

The pondhawk is gonna be trash though

[atomic egret]

I know but you can still "help" the team at least.

[stone cradle]

But I don't like the rise of tiered battle passes

[split ember]

Rush XL 128 players on Redacted. That'll be fun

[lucid goblet]

wut?

[upbeat sand]

*directly goes though the dirt into the fscillity

[stiff pollen]

He gets paid in boins

[red zinc]

[willow sky]

probably in the forest region you can spawn in

[vital mauve]

Lmao

[plain meadow]

wait

did they just showcase a normal med thrown?

[split ember]

slap a med on people's faces

[gray comet]

Yes

[kindred flint]

yes they remembered the tech they had in bfv

[plain meadow]

awww

sheeet

[lone void]

Support can use packs instead of grenades

[gray comet]

The lil medbags are back

[wet plaza]

There is any way to spawn a beacon with an equipment? Not talking about the recon class

[kindred flint]

but...will those recharge?

[gray comet]

C RAM drops one, for reasons.

[kindred flint]

or will you have to resupply with an ammo/medic crate

[lone void]

Ammo crate says yes

[upbeat sand]

Beacom are recon or RAM only

[stiff pollen]

Tbh this is huge I hated using the med box on Angel cause nobody runs into it

[kindred flint]

why tf were you running him

[red zinc]

How do you spawn beacon

It’s so helpful

[kindred flint]

bro....the grandma was the best support ok

[red zinc]

For the team

[stone cradle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJYvxnwrlA0

[stiff pollen]

Ik falck better

[kindred flint]

ranged heal + ammo crate you can throw at a mofo to get points

[stiff pollen]

Angel is fun on breakthrough

Unlimited nade spam

[red zinc]

Yea falck better though

[plain meadow]

[kindred flint]

if teammates were..whats the word, intelligent...then resupplying at the crate would be better

[plain meadow]

idk if i should be hyped or disappointed

[red zinc]

Hyped

[stiff pollen]

Angel with m16 and grenade launcher and resupply crate and you get back like 15 nades at once

[vital mauve]

Disappointed. Not a lot of charms this season

[split ember]

So we are getting a "Zombie" or "Horde" mode

[red zinc]

M8 u wot this season looks fire

[upbeat sand]

Doubt it

[stone cradle]

I'm hyped with everything but the stupid ultimate pack

[plain meadow]

ultimate pack?

[red zinc]

Yea at the end of the trailer a dinasour came out of the Jurassic park locked gates

[plain meadow]

wym

[upbeat sand]

Only way I can see a horde thing is if one of those super soldiers form the teaser has mind control or something

[red zinc]

I think Chriss Pratt is the new operator

[vital mauve]

It’s the megladon shark at the end

[split ember]

That teaser in the end of the trailer sort of gives that vibe

[red zinc]

Jason statham confirmed new operator

[radiant prism]

Hello new Sundance skin

[vital mauve]

It’s the wizard of oz and his machine or some lore shit

[stone cradle]

#battlefield-2042 message

[upbeat sand]

Don't think infection could happen unless it's mind control from one of the 3 soldiers

[red zinc]

The way the trailer had no HUD is how I be playing sometimes lol

[plain meadow]

?

[gray comet]

Angel with smokes + smoke launcher(s) is maximum concealment

[split ember]

Guess we'll have to see what they have for mid season

[plain meadow]

There's nothing

[red zinc]

Oh to be fair that ultimate is a bit gay

Locking an extra skin and weapon skin behind extra money

[pine roost]

Seems to be just another weapon or specialist skin that you can buy from the shop as part of the battle pass bundle

[red zinc]

Like Jesus that’s impressive levels of greedy

[stone cradle]

Why is the facility in scotland when it's inspired by a swede facility

[upbeat sand]

My guys is it's some 1/3v12 thing where

[plain meadow]

oh, lmao

[upbeat sand]

With buffed solders

[plain meadow]

just don't buy it

[stone cradle]

copying activision

[red zinc]

They might as well sell it in the shop

[lyric trellis]

Question; Is crawford worth it or should I just use boris?

[red zinc]

Yea low-key

20 quid weapon skins 😂

[stone cradle]

but they locked the falck skin behind that

[split ember]

Yeah same thing lmao

[plain meadow]

already got enough falck skins

[stone cradle]

Felt like a peronal middle finger because I'm a falck main

[stiff pollen]

They are not making the mistake of adding another zombie mode for easy t1’s again. It’s gonna be like halos infection I bet

[plain meadow]

[upbeat sand]

I mean like they have to take down this guy who has way more health than them while also only having 1 life

[red zinc]

Shrek is the monster at the end. Redacted map is set in his swamp

[stone cradle]

No, this time the zombies will actually climb

[plain meadow]

"GET OUT OF ME SWAMP"

[gray comet]

They did that?

[split ember]

We need Shrek

[stone cradle]

yeah back in halloween of '21

[red zinc]

Shrek was running experiments on the nopats

[stone cradle]

[stiff pollen]

Around launch they added a portal mode that let you essentially farm t1

[stone cradle]

If you had boris you'd get easy kills

[stiff pollen]

Got removed a day later

[gray comet]

Ah

[stiff pollen]

I t1’d Boris and dozer in a day

[plain meadow]

I do wonder if we'll get a new operator

[gray comet]

I recall a really high effort survival mode in portal at launch

[plain meadow]

or if it's gonna stay like it is

[red zinc]

Damn u got the worst one outta the way, Boris

[lone void]

Never

[gray comet]

Where the “infected” were sundance and mackay for max mobility

[pine roost]

They’ve confirmed there won’t be any more

[stone cradle]

they said back in S4 that Blasco is the last one

[plain meadow]

hmm

[wary oak]

Yeah wait until the EMP nerf comes into play lol

[gray comet]

Shame, I want another engineer

[red zinc]

They should do a warzone and add Godzilla lol

[plain meadow]

Guess that's for the best, look how "popular" blasco is

[split ember]

I get the feeling they had more specialists lined up but scrapped them

[stone cradle]

Yeah, I'm guessing they canned Gale

[gray comet]

Blasco isn’t useful so much as minorly annoying

Gale?

[stone cradle]

that datamined one with the rc car

[radiant prism]

Hale*

[gray comet]

Not every game needs the explosive toy car

[wary oak]

RC-XD

[radiant prism]

Conversely, every game needs the explosive toy car

[leaden zenith]

The new vehicle looks dope

[gray comet]

Hated that thing so much

[split ember]

I want an explosive RC Car

[gray comet]

Because what we all needed was another Nightbird

[stiff pollen]

Blasco is like the second best recon tf you mean

[gray comet]

Second best

[lone void]

A slower, open nightbird without guns

[plain meadow]

Can u say the last

[tawny carbon]

Blasco and Paik is my 2 mains

[plain meadow]

Blasco more useless the sundances grenades

[stiff pollen]

It’s a light transport that doesn’t have guns it’s literally gonna be heli bait

[gray comet]

But with a Lis on the back.

[lone void]

Ok and

[gray comet]

I just don’t like it. Regardless of how broken it will be.

[wary oak]

Well the YUV-2 seems to be unarmed though so i don't see it being as useful as a attack vehicle it's more like a Flying ATV

[pine roost]

or just gun.. bait. You'll be able to shoot out those drivers easily

[stone cradle]

not on redacted though

[stiff pollen]

You know for a fact morons will fly the new transport to the skybox and then complain when they got shot down by a jet

[lone void]

Lissile and AT grenade one shot civvy vehicles I bet it won't be much stronger

[pine roost]

the driver can't shoot, the passenger will need to deal with vehicle sway when aiming and you can just shoot them out

[stiff pollen]

Remember we could’ve gotten a bomber but Reddit said we don’t need more air vehicles

[pine roost]

seems fine to me, a good transport option that trades mobility for protection

[lone void]

It's a harassment vehicle

[pine roost]

it not having guns is a breath of fresh air

[lone void]

We have a bomber

[split ember]

Add C5 to the new vehicle, fly on top of a building.

• Profit

[stiff pollen]

Jet bomber

[lone void]

No

Why

[stiff pollen]

Datamined a while back

[plain meadow]

It's funny how developers can make a cracked up trailer, then the gameplay comes around and people be like "oh... fuck"

[gray comet]

Then they balanced it to give us more fixed wing air vehicles, and then gave us a helo with dumb bombs

[stiff pollen]

Even had a badge for it too

[gray comet]

Yup

[stiff pollen]

Never came to fruition

[gray comet]

Looked good

[lone void]

[pine roost]

thankfully

[pine roost]

last thing we need is a stealth muramets

[lone void]

There's a boat too but oh well

[stiff pollen]

Boat in a game that has no amphibious combat

Outside of noshahr

[gray comet]

Airdrop the boat in on hourglass

[wary oak]

It's not a Stealth Bomber it's a UCAV Drone smh

[lone void]

Bomber in a game that has too much explosive spam

[gray comet]

The model had no cockpit it wasnt piloted

[royal swan]

This map is going to rock

[lone void]

And yet the MAV has the function to drive in water, something exclusively useful on portal maps

[stiff pollen]

You know the bomber would’ve been fun as hell and as weak as a paper plane

[gray comet]

Well yeah

Its an amphibious vehicle

[royal swan]

Heard there will be a free time period

[stiff pollen]

You’d get one bomb run and then get shot down by a nightbird

[gray comet]

That’s the point

[royal swan]

To play 2042

[plain meadow]

can feel the wrath of paik + shotguns

[radiant prism]

Oct. 12-16

[gray comet]

Skill issue

[pine roost]

that'll be fun

[split ember]

With Ultimate Pack being promoted, is this a hint we're getting more seasons? Would be silly and dumb to have this available for one season

[pine roost]

get my bhop boots on

[red zinc]

Add an A10

[lone void]

But it's never useful outside of Nosahar rush

[stiff pollen]

Same thing that happens to the murametz now in BF1 whenever it spawns

[gray comet]

Add friendly fire too

[tawny carbon]

128p is finna be wild 🤪

[red zinc]

Imagine an A10 on breakthrough

[royal swan]

Plus they haven't denied another season yet

[split ember]

Yeah. Still open to interpretation.

[radiant prism]

I WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT THE REBORN THING

[gray comet]

Well, the 30mm on jets is ass, so it would be pretty useless besides being a slower stealth jet

[radiant prism]

MARKETING IS WORKING

https://tenor.com/view/cta-fast-gif-23010474

[lone void]

Usually DICE are pretty good at saying "we have completed our vision with this last update" when they're forced to ditch a game for the next one

So I don't think this is the end

[stone cradle]

probably

[pine roost]

deep rock game, battlefield trailer, goodness me it's been one hell of a day for reveals

[stiff pollen]

They’ll say their vision is complete a week before the season ends

Then they’ll put all hands on deck for battlefield 6 which will have less content than BF2042 at launch did

[lone void]

Second biggest betrayal after "pride and accomplishment"

[split ember]

Guess we'll have to wait and see after Season 6

[lone void]

It's like BF9 at this point

Who forgot to count

[stiff pollen]

“Hey we know SWBF2 and BFV are good now but we’re abandoning them for ShitFuck2042”

[lone void]

Battlefront deserved better

[tawny carbon]

It’s gonna be 3+ months before next BF game or they will keep it going till next BF game comes out. It’s gonna be a lil bit before 2042 stops. Or slows down a lot compared to now.

[stiff pollen]

It’s dice they usually have a whole year of no new content between a new game

Been that way since BF4

[lone void]

I can't be too mad tho at least we got content

[pine roost]

at least they've finally fixed one of the fundemental issues regarding recoil

[stone cradle]

how can they slow down when we already get little

No new map in a season I guess

[royal swan]

Gotta make this update big

[pine roost]

can't wait for patch notes

[royal swan]

Season 3 2.0

The play count was huge

[lone void]

It helps they had the PS Plus boom too

[tawny carbon]

Facts. Some content is@way better than none.

[remote kiln]

the next battlefield is in pre production, don't be expecting anything next year

[plain meadow]

dice gotta keep on working on the next game, if they think "we good, it's fine" work on it an additional 2+ years

[lone void]

I think invoking the names of Metro and Locker in their map overview will get the sweaty brainlets to have a look

[tawny carbon]

I give it 2-3 years from now.

[naive quiver]

End of next year I’m sure something will come up

[remote kiln]

they didn't just do it within the map overview, it's mentioned directly by DICE designers in the interview

[stiff pollen]

They had to take 6 weeks to finish season 6 I dint think there’s another season after bro 💀

[naive quiver]

2 years recycle

EA won’t give up

[remote kiln]

https://youtu.be/NZFhRB4rL60?si=zF96YCfa6BwzyXkd

[lone void]

Even better. Don't get me wrong I'm no fan of those maps but Redacted actually looks like it will be fun. Especially love the theme around it.

[stiff pollen]

Redacted will net me tier 1 Zain in 40 minutes

[lone void]

And I'm glad LevelCap is finally getting some attention for 2042 because as I recall wasn't he left out of all of the previews and such?

[tawny carbon]

I really do get locker vibes for BF4 compared to Metro

[bold steppe]

This game still dead in my region

SEA

[plain meadow]

interesting

[lone void]

Finally, a use for flashlights other than being a pain in the ass

[radiant prism]

Better image

[sharp marten]

So how many times have you watched the new trailer me: yes

[rose fiber]

Map looks amazing but everything else like battlepass and story aren't the best

[tawny carbon]

Thanks.

Ngl I’m kinda liking the turning point rn in the story.

[lone void]

What's wrong with the lore and BP

[rose fiber]

Unless flashlight has blinding effect, you're at disadvantage of using it

[radiant prism]

It does

[sharp marten]

Nothing

[lavish stag]

at least this map isn't snowy

[lone void]

No secret icicle melee for you

[plain meadow]

an infantry only map

i dig it

[radiant prism]

Funny seeing people come out of the woodworks to be all doom and gloom over new content existing

[lavish stag]

really wanted a navy invasion map but i guess it will do...

[lone void]

I still remember when S5 was coming and everyone was in here claiming the end of support

[lavish stag]

o yea

[lone void]

Even after the dev update where they said "more content after S5"

[last willow]

Can't make everyone happy

[rose fiber]

As much as that would be great, you'd need multiple such maps to be worth creating naval vehicles, with 1 map per season it's not happening, you'd need a map pack like Naval Strike from BF4

[lone void]

Every update there's people saying it's going to stop getting support it's laughable

[lavish stag]

true

[sharp marten]

Well now people are speculating since all these “good” QoL changes are coming that this is the last season mind you people thought the last season was 3 seasons ago

[rose fiber]

My guess is it'll end at S8

[lone void]

Some people thought we wouldn't even get past S1

[sharp marten]

I give it Season 10 tbh

[lone void]

[lavish stag]

ah fuck spilled my ice cap on my trackpad

[radiant prism]

People just want this game to die because they can’t fathom anything getting better

It’s sad

[rose fiber]

I think they're going for full year cycle so 8, 12,...

[tawny carbon]

Same. S10 and after is prob the best to drop the game tbh

[sharp marten]

I can also see that happening

[lone void]

But we're already in such a better position compared to a year ago let alone 2

[remote kiln]

there definitely won't be a season 12 lol

season 8 to 10, absolute maximum

[lavish stag]

btw halloween gonna be mid-season event?

[rose fiber]

That's why my guess is 8, I don't think they'll stop halfway cycle

[sharp marten]

That’ll most likely be when they’re ready to announce the next game

[radiant prism]

I’d imagine so

[plain meadow]

yes, cus we want them to work on ther new one and get it right

instead of waiting +2 years after release to get it somewhat playable

[tawny carbon]

True prob end or near end of Y3-4 of 2042.

[plain meadow]

dice can make a proper battlefield game, no doubt, but, instead of developing it for a year and a half, make it 3+ years.

[rose fiber]

I'd be happy with full on remaster of BF3 or BF4

[radiant prism]

You all have a different, unobtainable definition of right. That’s the problem.

[plain meadow]

unobtainable? how so

[radiant prism]

What is “right”, and how are you gonna get every single other person to agree with you

[lavish stag]

wait

[tawny carbon]

2042 went through development hell. A lot of OGs left to other games and the next BF game.

[lavish stag]

12-16 free to play?

[sharp marten]

I mean look how many studios are working on it now no doubt the next game might be a banger and with Vince on the team we might get a BR

[radiant prism]

Because you people are never happy. There’s always something to bitch about

We’re getting new shit and you’re here bitching

[lavish stag]

does my friend need ps+ to play orrrr....

[plain meadow]

I will be happy when the game is in a decent spot, i get it, games can't be 100% fully working every damn time, but don't come out here and develop it for a bit over a year and throw it out to the public as "finished" and charge people 60-100+ dollars.

[tawny carbon]

He prob needs online to play the F2P trial thingy

[plain meadow]

That's the same if I made you food that wasn't even half cooked and threw it at you and charged 50$ for it

[remote kiln]

all multiplayer games require playstation plus

[plain meadow]

I'm giving DICE shit for 2042, but i know they can make a proper game.

[lavish stag]

ok.....

[tawny carbon]

Oof. One thing Xbox did good on. Free games don’t need paid subscription anymore.

[radiant prism]

Alright and what does that have to do with where the game is now?? That was two whole years ago now. When do we get to talk about how the game actually is now

[sharp marten]

The game is in a decent spot

[radiant prism]

BF4 had the same fuckin problem but I here I see you propping it up like some gold standard

[royal swan]

The ultimate pack is confirmed to be 19.99 if y'all had any suspicion that EA was going to be greedy this time and put a 30 dollar price on it

[tawny carbon]

Facts.

[plain meadow]

cus it took them TWO YEARS MORE to make it somewhat appealing

that's the issue

[sharp marten]

The team has also been replaced with with a bunch of people who actual know what’s going on leadership wise

[lavish stag]

wait i think u don't need ps+ cause last time the free to play was free free but i guess we have to wait and see...

[rose fiber]

Tbf, BF4 did fix their issues within a year of launch and still delivered bunch of content

[plain meadow]

I know some developers fucked off of 2042, i get it, but at least make people aware and then ask for some more time?

[tawny carbon]

Every game won’t be near to perfect on launch. Look at BF4. Way worse launch than 2042. Dice always fix their game before they do anything else to the game.

[remote kiln]

no it wasn't until the CTE that the game was fully fixed, it was plagued even during DLC release cycles

[lavish stag]

anyways see u on the battlefield gtg

[radiant prism]

Somewhat appealing TO YOU. Everyone else has been more or less fine with the game, and has seen the game come a long, long way in that span. To ignore that progress because of the rocky launch is just willfully ignorant. ESPECIALLY when BF4 is your counterpoint.

[tawny carbon]

I think 2042 had a deadline to make. Look at cyberpunk 2077.

[radiant prism]

Especially 2 years on.

[naive quiver]

🫡

[rose fiber]

Wasn't that in 2014? Year after launch

[plain meadow]

When did I say anything regarding BF4?

Lemme rephrase: When did I mention BF4.

[tawny carbon]

It’s the same concept. At the end of the day.

[radiant prism]

Maybe I’m getting shit confused.

Point still stands, ignoring that progress is still willfully ignorant

[plain meadow]

I mean, boys in here are right regarding BF4 and what hell that shit went through, but it still felt somewhat "okay" ish even after +6 months of fixing it.

[tawny carbon]

Also I’m the one that pointed out BF4 compared to 2042 launch.

[remote kiln]

no it was made available to PC in 2014, but it wasn't made available to all platforms until 2015

[mental delta]

There's arguing, I like it

Now it's time to riot guys

[vocal tusk]

Just say you dont like the game and move on. this back and forth is getting annoying 😄

[radiant prism]

Ok, so did 2042 in my opinion. What’s your point

[plain meadow]

Took them 2 years, that's my point.

I'm done ranting.

[vocal tusk]

Its OK to not like a game

[radiant prism]

Took them a lot less than 2 years, we’ve been eating good since S3

[mental delta]

Btw I see many people wondering who or what says "we are reborn" at the end of the trailer, and I got th answer : it's a cyborgdinosaur with lasers on the head

[radiant prism]

Ignorance will be ignorant I guess

[tawny carbon]

No game will have a perfect non buggy/rushed launch. A video game isn’t a video game without a rough launch.

[mental delta]

Me ?

[vocal tusk]

Everyone

[remote kiln]

I mean whining about the game at this point is really futile, there was no state that it was ever going to be a good released product

[mental delta]

I don't agree with that at all, games used to be finished enough at launch back in the days, publishers just made this practice a normality and everyone accepted it

[mental delta]

Everyone expects a finished functioning product at launch

[remote kiln]

doesn't matter what people expect

it was never going to happen

[quaint vector]

https://youtu.be/NZFhRB4rL60?feature=shared

[remote kiln]

at what point do people accept terms and move on

[tawny carbon]

True. Also amount of different gens have a big factor on performance issues anyways.

[heavy lava]

I got kicked by BF2042 EAC again
Meanwhile I'm on Second Place with Enemy 240 ish tickets
Fuck

[mental delta]

It does, otherwise we'll just be served unfinished bugged crap with no content every release, I totally agree I'm a moronic piece of shit who complains too much, but people have to complain if they want to be heard and if they want changes

[radiant prism]

What people mean to say is it was a bit buggier than they would like, and there wasn’t as much content as people expect for the price tag. Which are valid concerns and criticisms. Calling the game unplayable, however, is purely misrepresentative and sensationalist

[heavy lava]

I'm about to get convinced that Riot Vanguard fuck EAC a lot

[vocal tusk]

Damn, when will they get rid of that EAC!!!!!!!! (Its a joke cos its gone starting next week)

[split ember]

That's why I don't buy games at launch anymore. Imagine buying a game at launch and it turns out to be a mess. * cough * CyperPunk / No Man's Sky / Battlefield / Most PS5 PC ports / Arkham Knight PC Cough

[mental delta]

Yeah but it's part of their job as a big video game firm to optimize their product

[heavy lava]

EAC is somewhat shit on BF2042

[naive quiver]

Im happy with no vehicle in the new map

[remote kiln]

sure, if the game was in 2021, but it's 2023, and the sooner people accept reality that there was never going to be a time where the game would be released in a finished state, the sooner productive conversations can be had about where the game should be

[plain meadow]

In another note. Did they replace their anticheat?

[remote kiln]

yes

EAC will be replaced in season 6

[vocal tusk]

EAC is being replaced with EA Anti-Cheat next week

[plain meadow]

Interesting

[heavy lava]

Yes, It will defeintely fix the EAC kicking problem

[plain meadow]

Aren't the other BF games using EAC?

[vocal tusk]

No

[remote kiln]

no

[mental delta]

Yeah totally but that's where I want to go, it's not normal that we have to prevent ourselves from buying a product when it releases because it's lacking content and is unplayable

[heavy lava]

No, at all

[plain meadow]

[remote kiln]

they use punkbuster

[plain meadow]

oh wtf

[heavy lava]

Only BF4 tho

[naive quiver]

Is the new map coming to 64 or 128 player s

[chilly jacinth]

finally the game will launch when you click launch game

[vocal tusk]

BFV uses fairfight and some other inhouse anti-cheat

[chilly jacinth]

not just close after EAC has a fit

[tawny carbon]

Yes. On launch. It’s better to optimize it. During development can be perfectly fine. When it drops. You have to optimize and polish it out even more.

[remote kiln]

EA anticheat might get ported to battlefield 5 according to Kevin, but no confirmation

wait and see is the answer

[mental delta]

That's what I mean, complaining is still important in my mind (not as much as I do) because they're reproducing the same mistake over and over again otherwise

[tawny carbon]

Hope so, Deco. PC BFV needs it. Atleast to help the game health out abit more.

[split ember]

That's a valid and important point. Devs need to be more transparent in letting customers know of their progress. Delay the game if it needs to be. Just don't release it in a messy state on launch day

[vocal tusk]

Thats not what he said...he said its a question he will ask to DICE/EA higher up. He never said it might get added to BFV. In all likelihood, it wont get added.

[vocal tusk]

"thats a fair question" isnt "It might get added"

[viscid bone]

😂 😂

[tawny carbon]

Yes, also Devs can drop every single info about the development. Mainly due to NDA. Devs have to watch out of what they say and tell the community.

[remote kiln]

it's directly in relation to it being asked lol

hi kevin

[mental delta]

Yeah I agree with that, imo there's a decent quantity of bugs that can be present in a game at launch and it's ok because product can't be almost perfect when it releases, but lack of content isn't acceptable because we pay a high price for games and it takes a lot of time to get more content

[stiff pollen]

BF1 and BFV need ea anti cheat if they have any hope of surviving

BF1 not so much but BFV is just screwed

[red zinc]

Bf1 is pretty bad too

[viscid bone]

Can confirm, that is me agreeing with the question. Not confirming that it will be 'ported' to previous titles. As stated in the response, it is something I will be asking of our team.

[red zinc]

Cheat wise

[stiff pollen]

Community servers for the most part moderate themselves well in BF1

But BFV since it doesn’t have anything close to the level of BF1 and 4’s custom servers just gets hacked to shit

[remote kiln]

yeah I'm not sure? where he thought I said direct confirmation, I was explicit in that it was possible but that was it

[stiff pollen]

You have hackers join lobbies to try to fight hackers

[mental delta]

Yeah that's what we all want and that's the bare minimum to me, gane doesn't even need to be almost perfect, but a decent quantity of content and qol features are needed to me

[red zinc]

I’d love to know who the hackers are in real life

Fun individuals

[plain meadow]

Wouldn't it be a good idea to convert it to previous titles tho?

[stiff pollen]

I’ve seen videos of a hacker getting killed by a hacker so he activates his rage hacks and then more hackers join and it’s just the top 4/8 players all just rage hacking to death

[split ember]

Exactly. PC port of Last of US as well as the PC port of Horizon Zero Dawn was a mess!

[red zinc]

Everyone always says the hackers are kids but i honesty doubt all of them are. I bet most are adults/teenagers lol

[vocal tusk]

You said "EA anticheat might get ported to battlefield 5 according to Kevin". He never said that. He said he would ask the team what the possibility of that is.

Saying..."EA anticheat might get ported to battlefield 5 according to X DICE/EA team member" gives false hope...where there likely isnt any

[tawny carbon]

I agree with you. The game health is the most important compared to content. I do agree with Atleast something for the time being. Also a hard topic to talk about at the same time.

[mental delta]

Lmao I can just imagine all other players non-cheating wondering what the actual fuck is happening in their lobby

[split ember]

Add Spiderman PC to that too

[viscid bone]

I've agreed on the idea already havent I? 🙂 I'm a Community Manager, not a Game Developer (or Anti Cheat Developer) and therefore I don't speak to definitives in it happening, because it's not my place to do so.

[remote kiln]

I said directly after to wait and see, there wasn't any false hope

[viscid bone]

Until it is, and then I share definitives 😄

[vocal tusk]

You edited your comment

[remote kiln]

no? it's a secondary reply

lol

[mental delta]

Yeah not even surprised, Sony just plays on the hype nerve to make people interested into a game and then sometimes it happens to be a total mess

[remote kiln]

it's right there

[plain meadow]

I think I misread

[red zinc]

Why are you two arguing about such a petty thing lol

[remote kiln]

not sure

[red zinc]

You’re not even arguing about a subject

Just about the grammar of how someone typed something

[remote kiln]

misconstrued I suppose

[mental delta]

Ha quite the opposite to me lol, I can accept a game being bugged enough at launch as long as it has a decent quantity of content and is playable, otherwise it's boring

[dapper river]

Titanfall 3!

[pine roost]

agreed

[red zinc]

Bruh that pfp

Everytime it comes in chat

Too funny lol

[drowsy shuttle]

the new map looks cool, i like the biodome idea... my concern is if its going to be a bit small for 32 vs 32... but need to play it to see it

[remote kiln]

don't worry people will be 24/7 this on 128 anyways

[red zinc]

No such thing as too small for 32v32

Shipment 32v32 goes hard

[remote kiln]

from the map section it seems to be more open than locker or metro except for the near perimeter areas, so should be better in that regard

[tawny carbon]

That’s how I view the game and devs. Game health is very important to overall situation. Content is nice to have but also at the same time. It can’t break the game even more. It’s what the devs risk when polishing up the game when it launches.

[remote kiln]

there also what appears to be some ziba? assets in the map

[pine roost]

How are you always finding him

You two were just made to be

[radiant prism]

Dont say that

[stone cradle]

anyone who cheats/hacks even after they've been warned multiple times should have their IP address leaked.

[radiant prism]

I dont want it to be true

[tawny carbon]

Smart person kekw

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah i was watching that video from levelcapgaming about the map, and looks bigger but at the same time since he is there alone, you can't really have the perception of how its going to play out...

[vocal tusk]

I do want to see the juicy patch notes tho, maybe tomorrow?

[radiant prism]

I hope

[remote kiln]

the ziba offices look way too similar

ain't no way it's not taken from there

[drowsy shuttle]

the g428 looks great... is going to be bolt action? or semi-auto?

[red zinc]

New g4 gun looks fire

[stone cradle]

I hope next map is a dense urban one.

[remote kiln]

it appears? to be semi auto

[split ember]

So in terms of this game's lore, Falck, Crawford, McKay and Casper are all officially transformed to these super soldiers?

[drowsy shuttle]

ah yeah it says "new DMR" nice

[chilly jacinth]

no one is transformed

[vocal tusk]

Siege of shanghai meets Pearl Market

[red zinc]

Like the one from call of duty

[drowsy shuttle]

i have the feeling the G428 is going to be my new favourite dmr (in terms of looks) after dm7... i just hope its stronger than dm7

[red zinc]

Sick gun

[split ember]

We need more Levolution levels

[remote kiln]

am I the only one who finds Shanghai exceptionally boring to play

[vocal tusk]

I enjoy it as a combined arms map. Its not an amazing infantry map

[stone cradle]

yes please

[tropic hazel]

can't wait for the new persistence data error limited time mode

[remote kiln]

except the skyscraper the map rotations are so unnecessarily spread out

[tawny carbon]

Shanghai. I love. Later on it does get boring. But great iconic map as well. BF4 WR devs is gonna make Shanghai better.

[drowsy shuttle]

the new transport drone looks cool... but after 1 week nobody is going to use it... i mean, you probably gonna get sniped out of your mind most of the time lol

[vocal tusk]

The main point of that map is the skyscraper. Owning it allows access to all other flags. (Thats why I prefer the map with a standing tower)

[last willow]

Maybe one of many, but not me.

Played BF4 yesterday after 4 months ago, not bad https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/battlereport/show/1/1709709629727851200/247823626/

[remote kiln]

yeah but is it really that much effort to add say a bridge to connect the 2 other points

would make it so much better

especially when the skyscraper comes down

[vocal tusk]

I forgot about this 😄

[last willow]

Haha yeah

I liked the algorithm

[split ember]

I'm gonna re-buy BF 4, Had it on PS 4 last time, now need in on PC

[last willow]

Currently I'm at 415 or something

https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/battlereport/show/1/1588956241340807616/247823626/ anyways I miss BF4 tank physics lmao

[pine roost]

Since it’s coming out on the 10th, might be a few days. I’m eagerly awaiting them though

[remote kiln]

if it's not tomorrow then it has to be early next week

[drowsy shuttle]

that last teaser with Zain open that container i thought a velociraptor was going to pop out of that thing.... i was about to say "Welcome to Jurassic Field"

[remote kiln]

7/8th is Saturday and Sunday

[vocal tusk]

They did say they would try to get patch notes release the week before a new update, but we will wait and see! 😄

My guess for the halloween thing...is some form of armored elite class

[remote kiln]

idk how it looked 10ft tall

good camera work on that

[vocal tusk]

Standing on a box

[last willow]

Means we get a full day to play Forza Motorsport before falling deep into S6 lol

[drowsy shuttle]

i can already see the sweat streamers salivating about the falck glorified skin lol

[last willow]

Forza already preinstalled on my system, I can't wait

[vocal tusk]

Inside the crates is Boris...armored in shipping container plate steel

He can now use his turret like the predator

[warped bramble]

Woo finally got all the ribbons in a game

[remote kiln]

the ultimate battle pass is an interesting thing, can only really mean the game's in a decent enough state so far to move monetisation like that

isn't normal behaviour to be done

[vocal tusk]

Either that or it needs to hit a monetization target before X time frame.

[remote kiln]

yeah one or the other

curious it wasn't done with season 5 but is with 6

[drowsy shuttle]

the ammo and medical pouches are tied to support class only right?

[rose fiber]

To me it wasn't that bad (except for after the tower collapse) but it definitely wasn't nowhere near my top map

[vocal tusk]

Ill support the team behind the game ATM til the end tho, they have done a kick ass job since they started essentially remaking it

[remote kiln]

it's not bad, probably gave off the wrong vibe, design wise it's pretty good but, to play idk, it's just not that fun

[vocal tusk]

(PLZ buff engineers tho)

[remote kiln]

we haven't seen the engineer rework yet have we

[vocal tusk]

Nope

[remote kiln]

hm, interesting omission

[glossy storm]

Is it just me or did anyone else also think that the new map's gonna be called something other than Redacted?

[drowsy shuttle]

isn't in mid season?

[rose fiber]

It's definitely not fun after the tower is destroyed, but even with tower standing I found more than half maps better

[remote kiln]

given this is 4 and has more or less the best maps in the franchise, the second part is pretty easy to do

[glossy storm]

I genuinely thought they were keeping the actual name under wraps.

[chilly jacinth]

crazy how people think 4 has the best maps

[drowsy shuttle]

ultimate battle pass is not worth it imo... but for some it will, thats fair i guess

[vocal tusk]

Siege would have been more fun after the tower comes down, had their been more attack boats and a larger cap radius. Or if the river that went inland looped around the map somehow (So boats could drive in and around the map)

[chilly jacinth]

when alot of em share the same problems as launch 2042 maps

open af

with shit tier cover

[vocal tusk]

128 players didnt help. 2x the players to have shooting at you in areas lacking said cover

[remote kiln]

alborz mountains imo is the best map ever designed, but in terms of quantity 4 tops 3 for map design

[drowsy shuttle]

premium battlepass it is for me.. now we only need to know the prices... im guessing around 1000 boins right?

[chilly jacinth]

same price as usual

[stone cradle]

premium is the regular old paid battlepass

[drowsy shuttle]

i don't remember how much was in season 5..

[remote kiln]

it's always been 1000

[last willow]

I feel like I'm the only player that never minded the tower collapse

I run into the ruins with the tank to capture C lol

[drowsy shuttle]

okay cool.. still have 1800 boins from previews battlepasses free coins

[remote kiln]

speaking of which hello any DICE developers make the season 8 map alborz mountains ty

[vocal tusk]

I didnt mind it too much, I just preferred the map with a standing tower. Tower flag was really fun to attack AND really fun to defend

[rose fiber]

It's amazing to watch but when you compare the playable area of C flag, rooftop is definitely better than ruins imo

[drowsy shuttle]

season 8? lol

[last willow]

Sure thing, they're both fun, but I don't mind either

[drowsy shuttle]

they talked about new seasons?

[remote kiln]

no I'm just on copium for the map

[drowsy shuttle]

ah ok

[stone cradle]

was that the snowy mountain map with a forest or something?

[tawny carbon]

The dev note on Redacted is crazy

So much work and dedication for that idea and map.

[stone cradle]

I hope they do more like this

It was fun reading through it

[tawny carbon]

Facts

[remote kiln]

correct

[stone cradle]

kind of forgettable

[tawny carbon]

All I gotta say. Props to 2042 devs on the maps. Very big props on redacted tho.

[radiant prism]

this map looks incredible

visually

[tawny carbon]

Especially bringing in LC. A BF Vet.

[cunning nexus]

Hey guys new here. I came back to 2042 after a year off. I remember their used to be a hardcore breakthrough or rush on Portal. I didn’t see it anymore - only conquest . Is their a specific server you guys know about that I can join

[patent pivot]

nope

portal is intoxicated

[glossy storm]

The exterior looks so damn good.

[remote kiln]

a lot run breakthrough servers, they may not appear if they're not popular atm

[cunning nexus]

All the ones I found last night had less than 5 people

Those servers were the best . 1 shot kill . The hardcore conquest sucks. It’s to massive and spread out

[remote kiln]

redacted breakthrough hardcore 24/7 will probably dominate portal anyways so you don't need to wait for long

[glossy storm]

Interior is cool too, lots of 'show, don't tell' elements, but the forest feels like a breath of fresh air.

[stone cradle]

I remember watching LC's videos on BF3 because I wanted to improve

[rose fiber]

I do wish we'd get some large scale forest maps like Argonne forest or Operation outbreak

[stone cradle]

It's nice to see him properly involved in BF again

[remote kiln]

close quarters DLC return anyone?

[rose fiber]

From BF3?

[remote kiln]

ye

[rose fiber]

I'd be up for that one

[tawny carbon]

I always love watching LC. He gets to the point. He sees both side of agreeing and disagreeing. Also straight forward. Calm chill and relaxed.

[remote kiln]

well his videos are

streams he has his rage moments

[tawny carbon]

Everyone does lol 😂

Let’s be real. We all rage at somethings

[glossy storm]

I'm sure making a hyper-destructive environment is still possible for them.

[tawny carbon]

All I gotta say 2042 did good timing with redacted Map. Wish we could’ve had it earlier. But game is very well polished now (sure somethings is meh and buggy still).

[vocal tusk]

I think LC has a writer for videos now tho, right. For the past while a lot of his stuff seems more scripted. Past videos were scripted too, but I don't know exactly what changed.

[remote kiln]

iirc he does yeah

[tardy laurel]

I like the map and the new vehicle looks so good

[vocal tusk]

I think Lossy even did some videos for LC.

LC is like the face and voice of the channel, bit there are others behind the scenes helping with production and structure probably.

[stone cradle]

most chill has to be jack

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah what caught my eye was the map and the g428... anything else is meh.. to be fair looks more like an event than a season... but its fine

[tawny carbon]

Jack is a great person, ye

[remote kiln]

the dragonfly does have offensive weapons in its actual prototype but seems like it's excluded from this one

[glossy storm]

I still don't understand why there's not a huge emphasis on destruction. Technical limitations, or...?

[patent pivot]

they're lazy

[vocal tusk]

The name was changed from dragonfly

[remote kiln]

it's changed?

[vocal tusk]

Yes

[remote kiln]

must have not noticed

[glossy storm]

Nah, there's gotta be a better reason than that.

[stone cradle]

I hope the hoverbike can kill people with it's rotary blades

[patent pivot]

second reason

[stone cradle]

[patent pivot]

they don't want to repeat levolution

[glossy storm]

I'm not asking for levolution, really.

[patent pivot]

well I am loo

I want it back

[glossy storm]

I wanted those initially, but subsequently gave up.

[tawny carbon]

Prob cuz of last gen. It would destroy last gen fps a lot.

[vocal tusk]

Its now called the YUV-2 Pondhawk apparently

[drowsy shuttle]

the dragonfly is just a flying quadbike.. and its just begs to be shot easily

[glossy storm]

After all the reworks were done.

[patent pivot]

am I the only one here to not give a fuck about map changing terrain?

[tardy laurel]

That map is going to be absolute chaos

[drowsy shuttle]

i hope not

moderate chaos

if plays out like rush xl or something, then its too much

[remote kiln]

weird name, should have been kept as dragonfly

[stone cradle]

'Pondhawk'

Maybe they didn't have the rights to name it dragonfly

[tawny carbon]

DragonHawk

[queen dagger]

why is the new ammo/med pouches only available for support. this blows

they put oppressors in 2042

its so over

[trail blaze]

[last willow]

Because that's who they're for

[sage totem]

Don’t we already have ammo and med gadgets?

[royal swan]

It's just another light transport vehicle

[last willow]

Makes it so you can make decisions on what class/speacialist to pick

[sage totem]

Also is this where we see a spike in players?

[last willow]

This is what BF is about

[queen dagger]

literally this

[royal swan]

I'm more happy for the recoil fix

[last willow]

Only med is the pack and Falck's pistol

The pack is stationary and reloads slower

[sage totem]

Bro but we have an ammo crate

[last willow]

Packs you can carry three, throw them to team mates, and recharge faster

[sage totem]

And med

Wish it was a diff gadget

Ngl

[royal swan]

Same with in past games

[last willow]

Yeah, now I'll use medpouches with angel, ammopack, and voila

[sage totem]

Yea Ik

[last willow]

ultimate support

[queen dagger]

the engineer class and recon would’ve benefited heavy with those gadgets

[royal swan]

There was always a med/ammo pack and then the crate

[last willow]

This game is about team support first and foremost

[sage totem]

So does the new vehicle have guns or is it just to move around?

[last willow]

That ammo pouch or med pouch you throw to team mates is the difference between a 1-0 ticket game or vice versa

[royal swan]

Moves around

[queen dagger]

i dont think so. its a transport vehicle

[sage totem]

And there is only like two new weapons right

[last willow]

3

[royal swan]

3

[queen dagger]

three
