[ivory canopy]

idk I guess it's the cool thing to make your own AR-derivative for a service rifle? I live in the U.S, so I'm not really one to talk since the XM7 is loosely based off an AR, at least in looks.

[patent prism]

Sweden and Finland are doing it as well, SAKO M23 family.

[ivory canopy]

I've noticed.

[remote kiln]

warfighter had its own issues outside of that controversy to why it failed

[ivory canopy]

I've also noticed a trend with modern militaries ditching bullpups.

[remote kiln]

first MOH was just horrid, horrid timing for that statement

[gray comet]

Or to let the Germans do it for you and adopt some flavor of HK416.

M7 is closer to an AR-18 in operation, but it does share many controls.

[ivory canopy]

The Chinese did it. The French did it. If this new KS-1 rifle pans out well for the British, well...

and honestly, I can kinda see why armies are keen to do that.

[patent prism]

I was extremely surprised when the Swedish Armed Forces went with the SAKO M23 instead of the HK416 and HK417 considering I own official manuals for the Ak 416 and Ak 417.

[ivory canopy]

A conventionally oriented rifle is just easier to fire with the off-hand in a pinch. Some bullpup rifles can do this too, but they add complexity or some other downside to this.

[gray comet]

Bullpups also generally have quite poor triggers and struggle with rail space.

[ivory canopy]

I was thinking about getting myself an RDB in real life. But I later had an epiphany that told me, "How am I going to feel-check the chamber to ensure it's empty?" This led to another epiphany: "What if it jams? How am I going to clear the chamber without tearing it down?"

[ebon pilot]

also with being right handed

[ivory canopy]

To be fair, the RDB is a rifle I heard really good things about.

[gray comet]

“What if it jams” well it’s a Keltec so you’d best figure that out

[ivory canopy]

My dad owns a couple Kel Tec handguns. They've been quite nice to shoot.

[gray comet]

Can’t say my experience has been as positive. They’re quite…finicky?

Mind you, that’s on the CP33

Maybe the 5.56 stuff is more reliable than the .22s

[ivory canopy]

I am aware that they're notorious for doing ambitious but flawed designs (RDB being among them).

Makes you wonder if they'll consider a revised version with a trapdoor that can be opened to access the chamber area far more easily, similar to the Singaporean BR18

[gray comet]

Bullpups are actually great because they throw hot brass at the left handed

[ivory canopy]

For some reason I kinda half-expected a select fire RDB to be in BF2042 at some point

[ebon pilot]

oh sorry i meant my right eye doesn't work

[ivory canopy]

They should go apeshit and add the TKB-022PM rifle to BF2042

"You want a bullpup? This is a bullpup!"

[gray comet]

Nah, L85

20% chance to spend 15 seconds unjamming it on reload

Battlefield 2042 Pacifist - NoCapture%

[topaz field]

i just want peak from cover back

[torn basalt]

Why BF 2042 is crashing my obs all the time

i will loose my mind

no fix on internet works

[grave silo]

sorry, EA games is just a small indie company, we don't do fixes around here, maybe on the 10th things will be better

[torn basalt]

I should pray harder

[remote kiln]

basic stuff my guy

[torn basalt]

It's driver crashing and encoder

but whatever it was already enabled

i will work around it

[remote kiln]

what encoder are you using?

[torn basalt]

Nvec H.264
on 3060 Ti

Latest drivers

[remote kiln]

are you trying to record something like HDR or 10 bit colour tones?

[torn basalt]

No i try to stream actually. I tried to backtrack error message to directory it leads me to, but it's only DiretctX 12 folder
Yesterday i did a clean installation with latest Game Ready drivers

There is nothing to point me why it's happening sometimes it's just loading screen, sometimes is just main menu it's not like i'm destroying a tank and there is explosion shooting and 25 teammates around me so it would be heavy on GPU

[remote kiln]

if you are streaming with nvenc OBS uses the source plugin, it doesnt record natively, you can try lowering the source quality to 720p or drop the bitrate, but its not an issue with the game

youre probably becoming GPU bound when streaming and running the game which is why youre crashing

[torn basalt]

Okay, i thought is something to do with BF, becuase it never happened with any other game
I will try to lower the bitrate, i'm close to Twitch cap anyway

Thanks tho

❤️

[remote kiln]

you wont have the horespower to crunch through encoding on the GPU side for the game with a 3060ti and running it too, so drop the resolution or nvenc quality and it should stop

[torn basalt]

Thank youu, will try it ^^

[remote kiln]

sure thing

[cunning nexus]

Once you hit a xp cap for your weapon attachments etc in solo play against AI

And if you get into a real match public and theirs AI enemies. If you kill them does the Camo xp still increase or is it still capped ?

[lone void]

[lone void]

If it's an official match all XP will count as normal, bots or not

[sullen quarry]

Translation: there is no xp cap in official modes

[lone void]

Yes

[sullen quarry]

Which iz everything except coop and portal

[lone void]

[sullen quarry]

[naive quiver]

[patent prism]

So, hypothetically, if I were to level up my battle pass to say level 12 and then bought the Fast Pass, would i unlock up to level 32 or level 20?

[ebon pilot]

32

It just gives you 200 BP points

[patent prism]

Alrighty, thanks, just wanted a sanity check.

[robust vapor]

You automatically skip 20 levels

[sullen quarry]

Freddy Fazbear

Don't say Fast Pass because it reminds of FNAF Security Breach

Mod's gonna come in here and tell me I'm being off-topic

So let's talk 2042

It feels empty during Redux

The battlepass was so integral to the progression

[ebon pilot]

yeah this is the most I've seen bots in games

[errant scarab]

im tired of bots... no real players in the game?

[ebon pilot]

I think another thing is that like I already got all the rewards from the last time we played all these modes

So like why am I playing?

Fuck I even played and got the rewards for The Liquidators event even though I was overseas

I spent a day in an internet cafe and played 2042

for like 6 hours

cost me £10

worth it

[sullen quarry]

£10 well spent

[naive quiver]

I’d rather saved up that £10 for ultimate pass

[sullen quarry]

£10 better given to me though

[ebon pilot]

this was a year ago

[sullen quarry]

[naive quiver]

£10 can buy much in the uk

[ebon pilot]

It's also a very small fraction of what's in my bank account

Like money is not a concern

[naive quiver]

look like a richer here

[ebon pilot]

I have an EA Play Pro subscription out of laziness

because actually buying stuff is too much effort

[naive quiver]

😂 I just bought iPhone 15 pro max

My bank account was empty now

[ebon pilot]

I only buy phones if my current one stops getting updated and my company says "you need security updates. buy a new phone"

[sullen quarry]

Don't drop it

[naive quiver]

depends what’s your preferences

[sullen quarry]

I had a phone that, once dropped would have the backplate and battery flying out.

But the phone did not break for that reason

In fact it did not break

[ebon pilot]

I drop my phones so often I'm surprised they never exploded or cracked or anything

[spare pasture]

Can you play 1942 on it?

[sullen quarry]

It just got waterdamaged and part of the screen was rendered useless

[naive quiver]

Every year I change my phone then I trade in the older one

[spare pasture]

[ebon pilot]

This is not my preference.

[naive quiver]

you can play warzone mobile on it

Also Genshin Impact

[spare pasture]

Is that a medal of honor or something

[ebon pilot]

My phone needs to do like 4 things:
Browse the Internet

Pretty sure sales are coming soon too

[torn basalt]

Is ultimate pass to have all leveles unlocked?

[robust vapor]

Expect more newbies

[sullen quarry]

Ultimate pass?

Ultimate Pass gets you the premium BP, an exclusive Falck and VHX skin and 20 tier skips

[sullen quarry]

That's terrible

[lone void]

But it's funny

[upbeat sand]

its literally just the existing teir skip but with 2 extra skins

And what it's price of it ?

IDK but it's funny

It's like £20 or something

1 600, even lower

[robust vapor]

90% of the time LATV is available

Just pick it up and go

I don't bother with hovercraft much

cause Recon go brrrt

It's just LAT-V but the guns suck

I have Tier 1 Hovercraft

[robust vapor]

Just imagine driving a bumper car

[lone void]

It is harder to kill people inside tho

[robust vapor]

At a theme park

That's the hovercraft right now

[lone void]

I've picked it up a couple times after rework

[robust vapor]

I just snipe people

[lone void]

I'm still bad

[robust vapor]

Yeah the vehicle got torque updates

Which means it's sharper when it rotates

[torn basalt]

will those masteries stay in Season 6, i have only one T1 mastery on m16

or i have to do it again next season ?

[lone void]

Because everyone doesn't use it I can probably use it as a mounted gun position and nobody will drive it away

[robust vapor]

It'll stay

[lone void]

Mastery is permanent forever

Experimenting takes time

[tacit sphinx]

try turning your deadzones all the way down

drunk soldier sim, you can be not touching your controller and they just wobble around slightly

[robust vapor]

I'll keep in mind

[lone void]

Then turn them all the way up

[robust vapor]

#stroke

[tacit sphinx]

tbh the only settings i really tend to change are fov and sensitivity unless something else is really bugging me, eg i think i changed my jet controls in 2042

[lone void]

I don't fuck with FOV it makes me feel ill

[tacit sphinx]

most stuff i just adapt to

[lone void]

Only sens

Occasionally my sens becomes too low and I need to go up a bit

[tacit sphinx]

the normal default low fov makes me feel ill lol

i played through the black ops cold war campaign because it was free off ps+ and you can’t change the fov in it and god

[robust vapor]

💀

[tacit sphinx]

at medium range it’s not too much of an issue but the moment you’re in closed environments it feels claustrophobic as hell

[lone void]

Gameplay

[tacit sphinx]

idk if you can change it on pc

there is like one level where i can see higher fov potentially causing issues, but i never understand why the default fov value tends to be so low

[chilly jacinth]

cause console

but i couldve sworn they added an fov slider to console

[plush heart]

Do we know what the player count will be on Redacted?

[lone void]

64

[tacit sphinx]

i think cold war was the first cod to have a console fov slider lol

but you can’t change it in the campaign

[robust vapor]

I have better aim for controller in BFV compared to 2042

[chilly jacinth]

well thats stupid af

[tacit sphinx]

tbf cant find a definitive answer from a quick scroll but it sounds like the pc version may also have been locked in the campaign unless you manually altered it in config stuff

[chilly jacinth]

nah i played it

could change fov in settings just fine

[tacit sphinx]

oh lmao

yeah in that case fuck knows lol

[spare pasture]

Bell we’ve got a job to do

[tacit sphinx]

i figured it might have been to stop that one mission breaking

yeah literally the bell we’ve got a job to do one near the end when you’re in the memories with the doors

[pine roost]

A lot of first person cutscenes tend to zoom you into a set fov so it looks right, like how ladders in battlefield do. So I assume they locked the fov so there weren’t instances where it zoomed in and looked odd

[plush heart]

Dang. That's annoying. Are we sure there's definitely not a 128 player mode?

[lone void]

Officially no. They said this in the latest podcast on the new map.

[plush heart]

Ah

[lone void]

Same as Reclaimed you'll only get 128 in portal

[plush heart]

It does seem a bit small for 128

Makes sense

[eternal narwhal]

the new vehicle is so dead bruh

COD is dead to me, I'm back Brothers

[next isle]

[pine roost]

[arctic grove]

should i buy battlefield 2042?

[pine roost]

Depends on what you like about battlefield, but I can say I certainly enjoy it

[shrewd spade]

Honestly, I've had buddies and coworkers telling me like month after month "you should download it again" then when I do they then afterwards never gtf on it so I end up uninstalling COD anyways. Never playing cod again, things turning into another Fortnite tbh.

[patent prism]

There's a free-to-play period October 12-16, I'd say download it and play during that period before making your final decision.

[arctic grove]

cause im bored rn

so i might buy it

just to pla

[pine roost]

I for one hate so many aspects of cod. Battlefield just feels far better

[shrewd spade]

Indeed

[patent prism]

I mean 2042 is a pretty decent "kick back and relax" type of game so it might be worth it.

[shrewd spade]

Better than COD tbh lol

[patent prism]

Low bar though

[robust vapor]

Not a good idea to purchase the game right now until sales are live

[shrewd spade]

I've just had enough with COD, especially when you got coworkers trying to tell you to download it again, nope lol

[mental delta]

COD just turned into a dumb skins simulator

[pine roost]

even without the skins, there are just some stupid decisions that have gone into it

[shrewd spade]

COD Fortnite 2.0 tbh

[mental delta]

Yeah really

[mental delta]

To me skins kill it all, like it's the final combo, I just don't want to play a shooter game with furries skins and strip girl skins

[patent prism]

I'm okay with skins, but they need to be reasonable.

Which, already, excludes COD.

[mental delta]

COD skins are anything but reasonable

[patent prism]

But tbh by that standard, BFV gets excluded too. Who the fuck sends a 80 year old into a battle wearing full dress uniform.

[plush heart]

Isn't COD supposed to be a hard-core war/battle simulator?

[patent prism]

It's not something game breaking, it's just a level of suspending disbelief that I am uncomfortable with.

[robust vapor]

Santa Claus 1942

[patent prism]

I would most certainly not use the word "simulator" to describe any Call of Duty game, ever.

[mental delta]

It used to be serious enough but it ain't anymore

[plush heart]

That's what I meant

It used to be a lot more serious

[tacit sphinx]

i don’t think it has ever fit that description

[plush heart]

And not just putting any types of skins in

[tacit sphinx]

it’s an arcade arena shooter at its core

[plush heart]

It used to be more soldier based

Idk

[tacit sphinx]

not really

[pine roost]

Skin wise, yes, gameplay wise, no

[plush heart]

Were the skins always so random?

[tacit sphinx]

like i think the skins theyre adding get pretty silly but like i don’t play cod so idc either way

[plush heart]

The skins used to*

[patent prism]

Call of Duty has become the embodiment of a gearfapping game. The gameplay is just a way to get more skins to gearfap with/over.

[plush heart]

Same here, but the game has always seemed like a cool concept.

[tacit sphinx]

in what way lol it’s running in circles shooting each other

[pine roost]

It just feels rather manipulative

[tacit sphinx]

nothing wrong with that but it’s not exactly some innovative experience

[pine roost]

But it’s all the cringe gadgets and grenades that I hate. Just takes away any level of skill gap when you can throw down a grenade that stops them shooting

[robust vapor]

CoD mains when they jump into BF and did not expect a nightbird to hunt them down

[plush heart]

I think Battlefield is kinda more what I imagined COD as

[patent prism]

COD has stuck to basically the same formula from the beginning, Battlefield have at least innovated the game somewhat for better or worse.

[plush heart]

Yeah

At least BF has pretty much always kept "realistic"

[tacit sphinx]

this fits battlefield slightly more but not really
that sort of thing is squad etc

the hardcore part mainly

[plush heart]

?

[tacit sphinx]

the game, squad

[plush heart]

Ah ok

[pine roost]

I think he’s referring mostly to the style of skins

[tacit sphinx]

it fits that description a lot better than either cod or battlefield

[pine roost]

Cause neither game is hardcore or anything

[plush heart]

Yeah, I was, but that description does fit bf more than cod (in general).

[patent prism]

Not sure I would call BF realistic. BF is still very arcade and not a simulator to any degree other than when you limit your selection to Call of Doody and Battlefield.

[plush heart]

In terms of weapons and skins in that case

[patent prism]

Then again, I am very spoiled for realism in my gaming experience. If you don't have to manage airways and pneumothoraxes, wind deflection and Coriolis/Eötvös effects, etc, it kinda doesn't count as a (shooter) simulator in my book.

[plush heart]

What happened to 128 player maps in 2042?

[patent prism]

They exist.

[plush heart]

Yeah, but none of the new ones are 128

[patent prism]

Oh, yeah, I think DICE realized that 128 player maps consume way more resources than it's worth.

[plush heart]

I would have hoped this season's map would be one

[patent prism]

The action is going to be focused around 3-4 key points in any map anyways.

[plush heart]

Yeah

[robust vapor]

2042 seems like an experimentation game for DICE

[plush heart]

What's that map set in the desert with rather big hills? I think it's a portal map

[pine roost]

El almain?

[robust vapor]

El-Alamein

[pine roost]

Or however you spell it

[plush heart]

Ah ok

[robust vapor]

just say arab map

[plush heart]

I've only seen it once, maybe twice

[patent prism]

While I do enjoy pulling off excessively ambitious flanking maneuvers in BF2042, most of that maneuvre will be consumed by just running on 128 player maps.

[plush heart]

On death match and breakthrough modes.

[patent prism]

I think TDM is limited to 32 and Breakthrough 64

[robust vapor]

TDM will be fun in the new map

Rush -> idk

But expect a lot of worms

[plush heart]

Yeah

[robust vapor]

and angular explosives

[plush heart]

I think breakthrough will be interesting

[robust vapor]

o definitely

there will be a fixed chokepoint somewhere

[plush heart]

Conquest idk

[robust vapor]

when 2 teams contest the hardest

Conquest is just flank and secure

there's no vehicles so good luck getting to places

💀

[plush heart]

I think this map is definitely a bit more suited to my preferred playstyle (close combat).

[robust vapor]

also expect jumpscares too

there are like wooden printed boards of training personnels

[patent prism]

I'm an overly aggressive recon DMR player so it probably won't fit my playstyle that well but I'm fairly certain I will find some way to manage.

[robust vapor]

time to make use of silencers

[patent prism]

Definitely gonna cause a lot of jumpscares and accidental engagements.

[robust vapor]

yus

[patent prism]

As if I don't already >:)

[plush heart]

Can you explain your playstyle?

[robust vapor]

🤝

[patent prism]

Kinda sad they nerfed the suppressors though 😢

[robust vapor]

ye

good thing there's no AT rocket gun no more but as an Engineer player watchout for them M5 recoilless or RPG campers

[tacit sphinx]

afaik they didn’t?

[robust vapor]

Backblast benefits a lot in this map

[patent prism]

Basically my playstyle revolves around going deep into enemy dominated territory to cause havoc and drag more resources from the actual frontline objective(s) into the back areas.

[plush heart]

Fun

I prefer to go in to an area with a few teammates

[patent prism]

Let me take an example; Renewal. I will pretty much always end up in the first objective next to the enemy main spawn and just plop down a spawn beacon, capture the point and encourage my teammates to spawn there too.

[tacit sphinx]

wait

[patent prism]

Drains resources for the enemy team especially as their vehicles will get tied up in those areas.

[plush heart]

Which is Renewa?l

[tacit sphinx]

the patch notes claim that it’s currently regular suppressors are effective over 20m but i thought it was 40

[robust vapor]

Renewal is another desert map

[patent prism]

The half-desert one, Egypt or some place.

[plush heart]

Ah

[robust vapor]

half of it is evolved with technology

[tacit sphinx]

making subsonics more useful is cool though

[patent prism]

Yeah, I was under the impression that subsonics already did stuff other than remove tracers but I guess not.

[next onyx]

Wouldn't mind it if light suppressors were 30 metres.

[plush heart]

Kinda grassy area with a few buildings in one half?

[patent prism]

Yep

[patent prism]

Wdym

[next onyx]

30 metre stealth.

Not 40.

[patent prism]

Ah, yeah, I agree.

Light suppressors and subsonics in general need to be made more viable.

[plush heart]

Is there any way to see through smoke in 2042?

[patent prism]

They are already very niche and a rare configuration for players to use so I wish they wouldn't have nerfed the suppressors.

[patent prism]

Not that I am aware of.

[patent prism]

I don't think I have ever seen anyone complain about suppressors except that one dude the other day in here.

[plush heart]

Isn't there a scope with particular vision type?

I forgot the name

Shows heat

[patent prism]

Thermals? Don't see through smoke.

[plush heart]

Yeah

Kinda annoying

Cuz sometimes people just chuck a bunch of smoke down, even though they aren't shooting you or enemies.

Or none that I can tell of

[patent prism]

Well, it's a bit of a double-edged sword because if thermals could see through smoke, smoke would basically be useless.

I roll with smoke grenades pretty much always, so there's some bias here.

[plush heart]

Yeah

[pine roost]

Smoke is practically vital in this game, and if thermals could see through that would only be frustrating and incredibly strong

[patent prism]

Yeah, precisely.

[vocal tusk]

Thermals would be better if looking through them removed friend/foe markers. Both for vehicles and weapons

[pine roost]

Why?

[vocal tusk]

For obvious reasons.

Thermals on vehicles are so easily abused

[pine roost]

I don’t see the obvious reason

[vocal tusk]

So you see no problem with a game of "shoot the glowing white thing" rather than having to actually look for enemies?

[patent prism]

Smoke.

[arctic grove]

guys, do i buy 2042 to see what the hype is

[mental delta]

Are you guys ok with 1 map each season or you would absolutely prefer seeing 2 maps at least each season for the next game ?

[vocal tusk]

Ah yes, just have smoke everywhere, that's the solution

[pine roost]

I was against them adding thermals from the get go, but removing teammate markers isn’t a nerf, but rather just a nuisance

[patent prism]

Wait for October 12th.

[arctic grove]

nah yk what

[vocal tusk]

Noone is

[arctic grove]

ima cop it

cause im the goat

icl

[mental delta]

What ?

[arctic grove]

im finna back them u

[vocal tusk]

Noone is fine with one map

[arctic grove]

pack them up

[vocal tusk]

Who would be fine with that?

[plush heart]

Wait for it to go on sale or similar

[arctic grove]

next sale is when

agesss

[mental delta]

Idk I see some people defending it saying it's pretty normal but I guess it's just a minority, imo 2 maps is the bare minimum, 1 map when season begins and another map mid-season

[arctic grove]

orrr is an EA subscription a better option?

[pine roost]

Christmas most likely

[patent prism]

Not what I said, smoking all over the place is of course not what I am proposing, what I am proposing is that you use smokes to actually block off significant lines of sight, known as screening, or alternatively to blind targets in key positions.

[vocal tusk]

How does that work against attack heli?

[arctic grove]

does ea play, make is so i can play every game almost?

[strong snow]

They are the 12 year old kids who’s first battlefield game is 2042.

Bf1 we would get 4 maps per update

[vocal tusk]

Or tanks once they add thermals for main gun

[arctic grove]

wait EA play might bwe worth it?

[patent prism]

Fair point and I agree that attack helicopters are insanely overpowered.

[mental delta]

Lol I guess so, but some people in here are willing to die on the hill of stupidity defending everything this game does badly

[patent prism]

Because they still can't see through smoke.

[vocal tusk]

So the solution again is smoke everywhere, which isn't a solution

[strong snow]

A certain individual in chat rn is one of them

[patent prism]

No, the solution is to use smoke strategicaly.

[mental delta]

Yeah but we were buying DLCs, but still, 1 map isn't decent because most people buy BP and at the end we're still buying something lol

[vocal tusk]

So precognition of when a tank is going to shoot at you

[patent prism]

Tbh I despise thermals with a passion.

[vocal tusk]

And drop smoke

[patent prism]

Initially I used them a lot but I felt so insanely dirty using them that I don't anymore.

[mental delta]

I'll be honest I'm often in this chat and knows almost everyone but idk who you're talking about

[pine roost]

I suppose the only way to really nerf thermals is for the enemy highlights to only appear fairly close up

[mental delta]

Thermal baths ?

[patent prism]

I would be in favor of limiting the effective distance of thermals, seems like a good compromise.

[vocal tusk]

If they didn't appear at all, players would at least need to swap between thermal and normal to correctly identify targets

[drowsy shuttle]

Well thermals have hit reg issues so... they are not really a problem

[strong snow]

Game clearly has no funding and 10% the required labour force on dev team thanks to EA

[tacit sphinx]

anyone would prefer more maps
some people just don’t whine as incessantly as others because they have other things going on in their life

[pine roost]

Using thermals just turns it into a kovaaks scenario

[patent prism]

tf is kovaaks?

[pine roost]

Wait, @vocal tusk when you said remove enemy / teammate markers do you mean the actual thermal highlight or the text above them?

[vocal tusk]

The text and or ping marker

Lol wrong reply

But I agree. More maps is obviously preferable, but it is what it is

[next onyx]

I'm honestly tired of complaining since nothing happens.

[tacit sphinx]

im fine with the current thermal situation tbh - player smoke blocks thermals, and only gunners can get them on vehicles

[pine roost]

I’m glad the main driver doesn’t get them

[next onyx]

Bf5 took a lot out of me.

[patent prism]

More maps would definitely be preferable, I wish this season would have added more than 1 infantry-only map.

[tacit sphinx]

i mean funnily enough a couple people whining on discord doesn’t magically make stuff happen faster

[next onyx]

Honestly 30mm gunner thermals for the AT heli kinda needs to go.

[patent prism]

Yes.

[mental delta]

EA is the truly the publisher you need, not the one they deserve but surely the one they need

[mental delta]

You mean like COD ?

[next onyx]

It took them a while to get rid of the 40mm on the transport helis and I truly doubt 30mms will be any better.

[drowsy shuttle]

I'm OK with the amount of maps we have. (If they are good or bad that's another thing) my issue is not having a proper rotation like in bfv that will make you visit all maps... instead it's random and many times you play the same map 3 times in a row

[tacit sphinx]

what?

[mental delta]

It was more enjoyable on many points imo and I wasn't on discord yet so I didn't complain about shit

[tacit sphinx]

take me back

[next onyx]

I remember the biggest issue being 5.2/.2 and the content drought.

Plus plane balance.

[mental delta]

Other things going on in life, like COD ? Or some other game ?

[next onyx]

Reality reality.

Not games.

[tacit sphinx]

jesus christ

tell me you’re terminally online lmfao

[patent prism]

whats the ip for outside? /s

[mental delta]

I'll die on the hill of stupidity but I ain't always online no

[junior patio]

Hi

Someone to make the Easter egg in orbital

[tacit sphinx]

this would be a very funny thing to respond to with someone’s IP address

[patent prism]

True, 127.0.0.1.

[mental delta]

You guys want to leak my IP address 🥲

[mental delta]

You're ok with 1 map every 3 months ?

[vocal tusk]

My issue is that even tho we have a decent amount of maps, we never get to play most due to

• Limited map Playlists
• Lack of map rotations

The whole return to menus to matchmake after every game really sucks. I thought they would have fixed that by now.

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah... also I don't play BF 2042 everyday so...

[mental delta]

Yeah it reminded me I want to ask you guys about that because you all seem to have much more knowledge than me about this technical stuff, why do most modern games now release without proper persistent lobbies ? Like BF2042, MW2 and reportedly MW3, or even PayDay 3 ?

[next onyx]

I don't think it's a solution but I think I know how to increase portal numbers.

And it's really simple.

[patent prism]

Enlighten us.

[drowsy shuttle]

Why would I want 30 maps if then I wouldn't have time to play them all? Lol I prefer quality over quantity

[next onyx]

They could so easily put a server browser link in the playlest.

"Server browser; Conquest" and would use a preset filter.

[vocal tusk]

Or add the server browser tab back to the top of the screen. It was there before

[drowsy shuttle]

That's what I said.. the problem is not the number of maps.. but the rotation

[next onyx]

And if DICE can get some of their own servers running there running like AoW I genuinely believe they could get numbers.

Yeah trust me.

[patent prism]

Yes, I would definitely want a server browser.

[tacit sphinx]

i mean i assume payday is because it’s heists rather than more typical fps matches

[next onyx]

There's no working this shit out.

[mental delta]

Me neither but why having only 1 map each season too ? 30 maps is too high, 6 maps after 2 years is too low

[drowsy shuttle]

Debatable

[vocal tusk]

I mean, can't they just move all modes in the tabs to portal servers?

[mental delta]

Previous game had persistent and functioning lobbies though, just like COD and BF

[next onyx]

Honestly. Fucked if I know why they can't do it.

Maybe portal is linked to a completely different part of the game.

[vocal tusk]

They already have functional matchmaking and joining, persistent map rotations there. I don't get why all modes can't work like that

[tacit sphinx]

idk i’ve never played payday and don’t know much about it

[mental delta]

I think right before season 1 when the terrible backlash was still going on, someone asked them why there wasn't a proper server browser and they just said they had no plans to add one in the future, so I guess persistent lobbies are never gonna ne a thing in this game no matter which form it takes

[mental delta]

I think Portal and it's whole matchmaking system has been created by Ripple Effect and Dice made AOW, maybe they just don't know how to transform Portal server browser into some AOW server browser idk

[next onyx]

I miss bf5's two rounds of BT and one round of CQ.

It was really damn fresh.

[vocal tusk]

I guess if you have people staying in the same server/rotation...it leaves less players to matchmake to keep games full.

So adding rolling map rotations would be great for one part (players already in matches) but bad for others (those trying to find matches)

[mental delta]

Way it was called Grand Operations lol

[chilly jacinth]

it would be nice if starting a new round was faster than just leaving and searching for a new lobby

[vocal tusk]

It is...in portal

[chilly jacinth]

[vocal tusk]

Which is why it annoys me

But the modes available in portal almost never interest me outside of playing one or 2 rounds.

Those on the front page at least

[mental delta]

Persistent lobbies with proper map rotation would be cool yes

[remote kiln]

they always have been able to and they've said as much, they just intentionally haven't bothered

[mental delta]

I don't really like gamemode selections in this game

Especially Redux ones

Haven't been able to play 128 players gamemode on all maps for more than 2 weeks

[mental delta]

You're talking about Portal server browser in AOW ?

[remote kiln]

yes

[vocal tusk]

An AOW server browser wouldn't even make sense in the current system.

Who would want to join a map that's only up for one round?

[mental delta]

That's why map rotation and persistent lobbies are much needed

But I feel like it would be too much of a "game-changer" mechanic to be added

[vocal tusk]

Which we already have...hence the frustration

[mental delta]

Like I don't think we're gonna see such a huge changing mechanic after 2 years of release

[vocal tusk]

It was acceptable back when each week we either had infantry or exodus conquest on portal. But recently all that portal offers is gimmick modes like gun master or superiority modes. Not that those modes are bad, they just aren't for me.

I honestly thought that once breakthrough was added to portal, all modes would be moved to persistent servers/map rotations. It's been a while now, so that's obviously not the case

[lilac linden]

Yeah I like the old portal games they had. Conquest of all ages. World tour. Things like that.

The rush chaos was pretty fun for a little while. But other than those I haven’t touched portal.

[mental delta]

128 rush lol ?

[lilac linden]

Yeah that was fun. With the extra movement speed and stuff like that. Or whatever that one game mode was. That was fun.

[mental delta]

Yeah I liked it too so much, I especially liked being able to be crawling on the ground when I get killed, like a crab

[pine roost]

If they’d brought the map selection filter from the solo tab to aow I’d be happy. I leave if it boots me up into a map I dont like anyway

[lilac linden]

Yes! That shit was funny

[vocal tusk]

Honestly tho, what is stopping them from throwing up a few dozen OFFICIAL DICE servers on the portal browser, which run stock settings and all maps for the select mode?

Even as a test to see how players react/use them

[pine roost]

I’d be up for that

A second tab in portal

But ultimately all I want is to be able to choose the map

[mental delta]

Only bad thing in this mode is explosives spam because servers can't handle it

[lilac linden]

See this is what I was thinking as well. There’s no official dice servers.

[lilac linden]

Yeah true

[vocal tusk]

Since there is no battle pass right now tho, players can't even host persistent servers anymore on portal. I wonder how they will handle this when they drop support for the game

[stone cradle]

If the next game doesn't have server browser, I'll be pissed

[sullen quarry]

next game will only have a server browser

main menu is basically battlelog

[stone cradle]

good

[sullen quarry]

no main menu

[stone cradle]

Bring back battlelog

[sullen quarry]

just website

[vocal tusk]

So like every other BF game outside of this one lol

[stone cradle]

Bring back the emblem creator

[mental delta]

Maybe for PC peasants, not for consoles sigmas 😎

[vocal tusk]

I'd love to have been in the meeting where they decided to abandon the server browser and instead to move to single rounds and constant matchmaking. Whoever made that choice deserves a raise. /s

[stone cradle]

I mean wasn't the head a person who used to work on COD?

Probably forced them all to follow his vision

[vocal tusk]

Candy crush

[stone cradle]

Candy crush and COD I think

[vocal tusk]

Alledgely

[stone cradle]

We need commander mode too

At a minimum please make a functional Battlefield companion app again, I miss 1's

[vocal tusk]

Some form of in map command center a player can enter like a vehicle would be good. Cos otherwise it'll end up like BF4, where one team has a commander and the other doesn't. Spoiling the balance

[remote kiln]

no.. he was hired after 2042 launched lol

he's in charge because he pioneered call of duty to the juggernaut it is today, which is what he's supposed to do with this franchise over the next few years

[vocal tusk]

He was also already at EA, having been head of Respawn

[remote kiln]

this isn't Vince zampella, it's somebody else

[vocal tusk]

Not the same person I'm talking about tho

[stone cradle]

No I mean the original guy

The candy crush guy

[remote kiln]

you mean Mesmar?

[stone cradle]

Yeah

I heard he works at Ubisoft now

I’m probably gonna get the ultimate shit as well

I play Falck too much to not get that sick ass skin

I still main the Falck all black skin with some white color aspect.

It’s just another skin to my collection tbh

Oh right

[robust vapor]

Then rerun those apps

and open the EA app

log in and relaunch

[proven obsidian]

can we buy the Ultimate pack with Boins or only money ?

[sleek parrot]

It doesn't work, I tried that

[tawny carbon]

Only with money

[robust vapor]

You'll have to retry launching again

[robust vapor]
