Yeah it was designed to be used to lay suppressive fire while advancing to the enemy trench.
Yes
The Germans had no comparable weapon so they just took what Chauchats they could capture and rechambered them.
Didn't they have madsens
@mint sable ur fav BF is
I mean, Madsens were a thing
They're pretty bourgeois arms compared to the Chauchat, which was made cheaply.
Bf1 but I don't really play battlefield anymore because they're all shit now imo
So they would've had less?
Hardline > Codclone
Granted, the Chauchat had some reliability issues in the mud laden warfield that was the time of the day.
Yeah that mag wasn't a great idea
I don't think hardline ain't that memorable to be up there, game is more forgotten than that free to play bf that we try to forget
Those issues tend to be exacerbated, especially with the .30-06 rechambering
ive been in this match for 5 mins and died to a claymore twice..
Oh yeah that american version was shit
Or so I've heard
Wasn't the magazine like
Flimsy or something
Or bad in some way
that hurts but true
Is there any patchnotes which weapons got nerfed or buffed ?
For the new season
In this channel ?
Ouh thank you 😊
Just got my bearings again in 2042 since I had EA Play for Titanfall 2 and this is probably gonna be my game for when I’m not in Apex (which is for at least the next 5 days as I have Level 109 and don’t want to do the BP grind in that game since I don’t have much I can do
MCS-880 deserved a buff
Before 6.0 it was far and away the worst gun in the game. I haven't tried it since but I've faced enemies with it that just dumpstered me
the issue has always been consistency
On a side note, I'm halfway to the T1 for the RPK
Yup
The buff was substantial
when it works it’s a pretty brutal shotgun for videogame standards tbh
is potentially able to OHK up to something like 20m lol
A lot more consistent up too 20m with the buff also
i put myself through the t1 grind with it about a month ago lmao
saw that tweet and was just like

im fine
just cant connect the 2042 server
game is good
sadly it became good too late
so no one plays it anymore
basically its built upon lies which explains why the player numbers are shit
ah fuck you broke my finger
It’s definitely still far from that in a lot of ways compared to previous games, that’s why it’s not very popular
"lies"?
Idk what they mean by that either 
Still hate the new map
Secret ? I love the map
New map is why locker and metro would suck in 2042
They just suck regardless of the game they are in
Hello. Have you noticed how screwed the VHX D3 is? It's incredible what can be killed with that weapon. It is not normal that the AM40 has 26 damage and the VHX D3 almost doubles its damage.
just reduce the number of things that resupply grenades and nuke sundance
ez
cc if that is your intention then I'd advise you buy the game whilst it's on sale as it's cheaper than your EA play, but either works
It does seem to be very competitive with the AM40
it's not as powerful as you think, it will 4HK up to 10m.. and that's it, the g36 is a 4HK up to 20m and the acwr is a 4hk up to 30m, it's a good AR, but it's not an insanely overpowered weapon
Friend, the new assault rifle is from another league. It is not normal.
linear maps are just trash... 3 lanes doesnt provide actual flanking 90% of the time 
another league of mediocrity yes
it ranks just as "good" in the AR league, that's all
it loses to the rm68 aswell
its just basic dude
it just needs a slight recoil and spread nerf
Wait guys is the reason certain games choose one GPU over the other due to VRAM size?
you mean discrete over integrated?
Maybe I'm not used to the sheer damage the assault rifle outputs.
just unlocked the high cap standard mag for the vhx, tried it out for like half a match....its not bad 
850 rpm knowing what I know from the m16 this is just easy mode.
wonder what the actual time difference is between reloads of the normal and high cap...but the 40 round constant firing is pretty nice
Battlefield 1 is on sale on Origins
40 rounder reloads pretty quickly all things considered.
(but then again this new map is just a cluster fuck that doesnt actually resemble map/gun balance anyways)
I'll say it again. The M16 (you can like it all you want, I don't mind) is not a good comparison...not even close...
So yes. It is was different than that
The PP smg with 70 bullet mag is still go to tbh
Well look at the stats
it’s the only way ur clearing a room of 4 people with one mag
im far too lazy to type into google 2042 gun stats
aside from shotguns
U just typed it here tho so copy paste?
but this window was already open
The the reason why I am comparing is because of the general applications. Maybe just me but I genuinely have no problem using the VHS the same way.
I did say far too lazy 
I'm not trying to dispute i genuinely understand.
Oddly enough, the VHX actually has a slower rof than rated in-game
Yeah it's pretty uncommon for them to do that.
isnt that what they did with the type 2a? 
Just click on my profile then. It's not that hard
it's just funny that it doesn't matter if I mark "keep me signed in" or not in EA app 🤡
He's too lazy.
finally someone that gets it
That's 2042 gunplay for ya
BF2042 in-game ROF stats don't really match what's actually prevalent
Dices explanation of the short barrel will never not be funny though
It's really weird.
Nothing about the in-game stats matches any real values 80% of the time
Yeah I'd expect a rough estimate since you can't really get an exact number.
irl damage stats are way more impressive
But it's wild that the M16 (rated at 800) actually fires faster than the VHX (if only just)
Hello there guys. Iam pretty new to 2042 so i Wanna ask what specialist would you recommend for new players. Or if you think that Dozer is good option to main.
I can't use a rocket launcher and wingsuit anymore what a shame
Paik probably
However general combat wise Mackay and falck are your easy go to's as they provide the most opportunities.
At least I can still use any weapon
I tried to play Recons but my controler aim is bad.
need sqad mates on PC
Ah yeah.
Then go to the pclfg
Use pp29. Lower your dead zones to 5%.
And i wanted to play Dozer because of cosmetics 💀
Wait
Haha dozer is a chonker.
you have ALC tuning available in your settings to adjust the aim assist curve, it's highly advised you use it
What does it mean by Year One pass?
Do I have to buy something additional to unlock the rest of the specialists
The first four seasons are free
the year one pass means you unlock content from the first 4 seasons
You gotta pay 1k battlecoins per next battlepass
you can unlock the specialists for free, no content in the game is pay to win
dozer has so many good shield cosmetics though dude
But if you've played the game enough during those seasons and had one battlepass, you should have enough to buy the next
Giid
Honking chonker.
As it should be
It's just that one of the operators had elite edition under him and I thought I had to pay extra to unlock one dude
no, that's a skin
nah the newer specialists are free
The cosmetics you can earn in-game
or buy them
if you really want
Ok
the cosmetics for the elite edition cannot be earned ingame
So like bf5
My deadzones are on 1.5 💀
they are exclusive to it
That could have been clarified in the actual operator page from my point of view it looks like I have to pay to get them
Wait if the past battle passes were free can you still get them?
they were not free
I wish DICE would reconsider their decision to stop at 14 specialists.
@remote kiln
they were only "free" in that you got the paid battle pass for the gold and elite editions
there are separate tiers
I meant, if you had the year 1 pass
Oh
Probably because people aren't buying operator skins as much
I'd assume
It feels so weird that assault and recon get four specialists while engi and support only get three
It's a lot easier to model a new tank than get someone to mocap
the free tier for the battle pass has the base items such as vehicles and weapons, the paid one has all the cosmetics and xp boosters
It's such a shame that I can't wing suit my way to a tank and blow them up with a rocket launcher anymore
Yea
But the good news is you can unlock the SPH and pwn infantry
Its blast radius is insane
not as good as it used to be
Is it better balance this way? Probably yes. Was it really fun? yes as well
At least they kept the weapons being able to use with any class that was one of my nitpicks of prior battlefield games where I had to use weapons I really didn't like
No, but still good
God I hated the sights and battlefield 5
it wasn't fun to die to some guy 200m in the air with a wing suit who got a kill for free because he could equip any gadget in the game
If I have an lmg which I'm supposed to sit down and has long rage why did you give me a site that barely is able to see anywhere and why is the iron sight the most zoomed in
it was boring and stale and ruined any fun aspect after 10 matches of dopamine
What did he use to kill you
Mmm
the same thing you're saying, the M5 launcher
Also are botd filled in with people or is there always bots
I just learned that thing drops off it's trajectory pretty fast
?
yes AI is filled in with players, they are in the game in servers which don't max their playercounts
if someone else joins they are removed
Nice
Prior to the class rework that limited launchers to engi only, you can use one as Angel
I played this game a whole lot after lunch on Xbox One and now I have a PS5 and trying the free version and it looks amazing and I love the 128 players
it had no recoil at all and it's trajectory was infinite back then, it only got tuned down recently
Angel can spawn that loadout crate, which basically means infinite ammo for the AA launcher
Who is Angel again I don't have the memories by name
THAT WAS SOMETHING! RIGHT?! 😄
You read my mind thanks
*except on redacted
Well, yeah, because how are you gonna get the crate through the roof of the building?
I think it's fair as long as I'd assume the RPG still has infinite
the RPG was tuned down too
Then what's the difference between the two
they are functionally the same, the RPG does more damage to heavy vehicles
I once had a match before 1.0 where I ran an Angel silo and killed like 10 air vehicles
the M5 has a slighter higher splash radius
I got the highlight for vehicles destroyed
Bit of a strange difference but okay
I bet people love you
Mind you, back before 1.0, everyone was playing Angel
you can't have them be too different from each other otherwise there's no point to use one
But grapple
but you need some sort of difference
grapple was nerfed with season 6
It kind of just seems like you would use the RPG more to me
Real fun haters aren't they
Are we getting any more new content after this update anyway
Grapple means fuck-all in the face of infinite armor packs (which got removed in 1.0)
yes, there's a Halloween event happening
as far as future seasons... probably, but no direct confirmation yet
What's in it
Wake Island 2042
I feel like this game could pull a Battlefront 2 to be honest
If they stop working on this game the only thing I could hope they would be working on would either be a new battle front game
Or if my dreams came true a Warhammer battlefield game
They should at least maintain it
there is no new battlefront game being worked on
Keep a regular gamemode rotation
the next title is a battlefield game
a new battlefield? like they've been doing for the last 20 years
Battlefield Vietnam 2
the campaign is being led by Marcus lehto the creator of the halo franchise
(it'd be kind of cool to see Kaiser righ into a bf game)
So this map is like a spooky genetic experimentation facility? I dig it
That would be interesting I'd assume they would also add Korea though
and the multiplayer is being made separate, there's a lot of resources being injected into the next game
That's... interesting
Yeah
Hurm
I hope you all realize that specialists are here to stay
What are your guesses on what the next game is going to be?
If one has more dedicated memory doesn't that effect which one the game utilizes
discrete is chosen over integrated as it's more powerful, not necessarily the VRAM size, it's a factor, but it's not a overall decision maker
If they implement them better I wouldn't mind too much
I doubt they would do another modern military game or at least near modern
I actually didn't mind the specialists thing
we have no idea
it's not coming next year that's all we know
But bf2042 only wants to use my Integrated
the game is in a preproduction stage currently
I literally can't play lol
Then what would you like it to be?
What kind of setup is your rig running?
windows settings, force the game to your discrete card
It has an integrated, but does it have a second GPU?
close it first obviously
Done that
Still didn't fix it
I tried nvidia control panel as qell
Tried using a separate display
My only option RN is to limit VRAM cap in bios and see if that'll help
that.. doesn't make sense, does your laptop have a MUX switch?
There should be a way to change which screen the game displays on.
What's a MUX switch
a automatic switcher for integrated and discrete GPUs
I don't have that option
Not in-game?
what is your discrete card?
And it still uses more CPU then GPU
Rtx 3050 ti
and your internal?
the 5600 has a APU with more memory, your discrete card doesn't have enough VRAM to run the game
which is why it runs bad
I see
the 3050 ti has 4GB of VRAM, not enough to render the game
not as crazy as you think
Why is NVIDIA so hesitant on vram
Rip
I ran the game on a 970
I know
This was a while before I got my 3070 Ti
😭
It had the FPS of an anime
Grantee the 970 has more VRAM then the 3050 to
Wow I want to return this laptop then lmao
No you weren't playing battle 2042 you were just playing battlefield -2042 fps
But it runs all my other games almost perfectly
How😭
it's a laptop "discrete" GPU
I mean, the game did run. But only just.
Why not just stream the game on Game pass ultimate
Oh it's a laptop GPU that explains everything
I hate streaming my wifi ain't that good anyway

It kind of sounds like a no money present is talking
Pesent
Not a good idea to play 2042 on a laptop tbh
Peanut
I mean yeah but just 2042 mostly
hardware is expensive it's not cheap
With low settings and minimized screen it runs perfectly fine
Peasant
On the amd graphics
And I've seen benchmarks with people using my same exact laptop
And theirs uses the discrete graphics
So like I don't even know anymore
it's not a same comparison you can make
Well
it doesn't matter if it's the same laptop
Same exact CPU and GPU tho
that doesn't matter
I don't think PS4s are very expensive you can get them for $150
your utilisation and software will be very different to everyone else
Might be able to find an Xbox One for less
so it's not going to be the same
My rig is a Frankenstein's monster though.
Ah
I'm going to get a PC soon I got $1,000 worth saved up
Two GPUs, 64 GB of RAM, liquid cooling. It's clearly overbuilt.
you're much better off getting a PS5 than that laptop by cost value, but if you don't like consoles then, you'll need to find something else
My ancient ass laptop is sick of age of mythology
What could you possibly need two gpus for other than rendering
a lot of stuff
The host OS of my computer.
virtualisation etc
Bingo
I don't know what that is though
different strokes for different folks, but dual GPU tasks are a niche area
not for the common person
My extent of PC knowledge is how to get 3ds Max working
common ones are rocM and CUDA programming and/or other related things
I'm finally in the game.
Oh so we got a smart one here
AV1 acceleration etc
😄
Basically, you're using a computer where certain components are isolated from the host OS and relegated to a VM that taps into them.
I'd advise you keep the description as light as possible
What would you want it to do that though?
the deeper you go the more they'll be confused
Many CPUs today are capable of virtualization so it can do the double lifting.
I was on a 7-hour call yesterday for someone explaining me the entire story of Fate I think I'm good
that's a different beast to this
hardware and software is something you can spend years on and still know next to nothing on things.. speaking from experience
Well, for example I can watch TV while playing a game simultaneously, the audio is split so the TV works as intended and the game audio stays with my headset.
correct
That's why you have to pray to the machine you work for it not it works for you
the discrete card doesn't have enough memory is the tldr
Interesting
and your APU GPU isn't powerful enough at all to run the game stable
so you're in a catch 22
Mind you, I'm no computer genius by any means. I just read a guide, played around with my rig configuration, and once I was for sure it was gonna work, I wiped my computer and committed to it fully.
Remind me of that feature on the PS3 3D TV that allows you to play co-op but both players play full screen with one person with a different set of glasses allowing them to see a different image
my job depends on the latter unfortunately lol
And the 64 GB of ram? Why are you trying to play Star citizen at minimum graphics?
The RAM is split half-and-half between the host and VM
My CPU utilization is split 3:1 favoring the VM
Loo
Intriguing
because you are separating off segments with virtualisation you cannot pool together the entire amount for both
is the long and short
and yes, I get near-to-native performance
well you can, but it's hacky, and prone to corruption issues
Ah
I did quite a bit of experimentation with it.
I'd imagine
Could a 1650 run the game then?
Tried switching which GPU goes into which slot
no
@remote kiln
We kind of got carried away here but I asked you earlier what would you like the next battlefield game to look like?
I'm interested to see what other people would like
er I mean, I have no idea, I care more about the current game being stable than what the next game could be
I'd like to see it have a shitload of content. Maps out the wazoo, weapon options galore, etc.
modern, as far what I want
REALLY NO WAY?????
But that said, I expected this of BF2042, and look what we've got
@warm garnet what's your budget for a laptop? I'll give you immediate recommendations or you will be here for hours
To be fair it does kind of have those things in terms of time period and location period
The game released with 22 primary/secondary weapon options.
and 7 maps
BF2 had more weapon options at launch, and more maps (I think).
This might be a big controversial but I think the less weapons the better I feel like a lot of weapons and battlefield aren't very different from each other
they definitely are
I think I just fixed the problem
I think battlefield 1 handle this the best in terms of how different each weapon was
Yeah that's understandable.
Oh my god im crying
I changed the Uma memory to 2
Now the game is using my nvidia processor
But you'd think a sequel to BF4, which had over 100 primary/secondary weapon options, could up the ante on that front...
sorry to cut it short and I mean this in the nicest way possible but you didn't solve it
I played battlefield 3 for the first time recently because I heard it was a lot of people's favorites and for some reason I had access to all the weapon I really cannot tell the difference between every single of the like 15 assault rifles
you are VRAM limited and this will occur again
😭
To be fair that game had a lot more DLC
Yea
I gotta test it out
What sucks about BF4 is that you need the DLC just to unlock the additional weapons
Fun fact but battlefield 4 was supposed to come to Wii u
yeah sorry to be the bearer of bad news my guy I don't mean to be but best you know
But they couldn't do it due to limited ram
That's the issue I had with past modern battlefields. 100 primary weapons all identical. 2042 had fewer weapons but each one feels unique.
At this point I don't care if it happens
I just want to run the game without a minimized window with bad quality
You gotta know that Deco is doing his best to guide you through
Laser gun marksman assault rifle submachine gun will do that to you
I mean I got some almost futureproof shit
Metas are gonna happen regardless but that’s no reason to have less content
there's nothing I can do to solve this
And currently my specs do work fine
it's a hardware limitation, I'm just trying to make sure he doesn't get false hope
Yes but a lot of those guns were similarly balanced so that not using the “meta” gun didn’t get you steamrolled
it'll be worse after
^
I don't really care if one guns better than the other but I don't like the fact that so many feel like the same thing
solvable with a PC probably but laptop is a no go area for a solution
only option would be buying a external GPU, and those are more expensive than the laptop he has
BF4 definitely had a fair few weapon pairs that felt nearly the same. That said, some nice standouts available.
@warm garnet
Wait I actually know a way to solve this problem of yours
they're not the discrete GPUs you're thinking of
I kinda just solved it
Kinda
How big are your pockets that you can fit a full-size GPU like a 3070?
Oh so it's not what I thought
PC discrete GPUs use the PCIe interface, these ones use the I/O slot (aka USB)
Come to my closet
Well here's an excellent solution to your laptop problem
💀
“Less is more” isn’t real when it comes to video game content tbh and I’ve always said that, it’s not like 2042 ARs aren’t largely similar as well besides the SFAR and rm68 just being…. Objectively too good

If you look at a game like tf2 each of its weapons even if they're the same things like shotguns have a distinctive role can you really say that about all the assault rifles
the game is fatally flawed with it's content amount by its own design, it'll never be solved, but that's where we are
Deco's gonna get 255 gigs worth of RAM and it still won't be enough.
I don’t play tf2 so I can’t personally say much about that although it’s definitely balanced around a different design
All my RAM slots are filled.
actually not, I use my M1 mac for most of my stuff, that thing has 4x less memory than my main rig
SCAR and M16 feel great but the VHS is growing on me.
You'll make more as a welder or CDL holder
Yeah that's fair but reeee!
By the way.
I'm pretty sure you age 50 years instantly if you become a welder
How's the m1 working out for you?
I'd love to use my own machine but I'd be unemployed instantly if I tried
is breakthrough dead or something cus theres no way servers arent filling up properly with a bunch of people on rn
it's fine, I wouldn't use it as a daily machine because it's 60hz, but its pretty solid overall
I dunno where to ask in regards to M1 but versus a work laptop. How does it stand as one?
every time I try and press play on battlefield, it keeps validating and I can't play the game
Well you're not wrong....but you'll make more & have less family time 🥳
It's ARM therefore power efficient as fuck.
isn't due to ARM
the SOC is custom designed by apple is the reason
I wonder if ARM motherboards will be a thing.
One piece hardware then.
Goddamn tired.
Does the VHS remind anyone of the MTAR in a way?
it wouldn't be in their interests to design a motherboard architecture even if they wanted to anyways so meh
I love how you put less family time as a positive
the bf4 one? eh not really
that MTAR yeah it feels very similar in design execution
Irish + VCAR is so good in the new map.
From what little I've used of the VHX from dead soldiers, I found it more usable
my battlefield keeps on validating on steam every time I try to open it
repair/reinstall ea app
control panel -> uninstall the EA app, boot the game your issue goes away
it works now, thanks for the help

and the game became banned in China because of one of those DLCs

lmao my game crashed in the middle of loading
and is still banned to this day lol

I don't understand why isn't the DLC called China rising not trying to defeated
the game was banned primarily because of the campaign rather than the DLC specifically
the DLC coincidentally came out near the ban, but it wasn't the reason
Booo
ironically the ban wasn't unjustified
90% of shooters are supersoldier themes which whitewash or lie about history to fit a western narrative
which is unfortunate
very
but good luck selling a "oh you're actually a bad guy" to the average buyer (who majority are in the west)
I will forever remember the moment in modern warfare where they blamed the Russians for the highway of death which is hilarious
You seem really knowledgeable on certain topics, do you think earth is flat?


if drawn on paper sure
Interesting
just one example in numerous it's just sad really
The first objective on redacted feels slightly too difficult for attack imo
for breakthrough yes it's a unbalanced mess
the reason is the ziplines are not accessible.. for some reason
Why do I get more fps by connecting the DP to the graphics card than by connecting it to the motherboard to use integrated and dedicated at the same time?
falck. you can heal yourself and others. supply yourself and others with ammo. And you can revive.
And please use smoke grenades.
I can't really think of other examples to be honest
displayport has a direct connection to the GPU, if you connect through the motherboard, it runs through the PCIe interface (aka, through the motherboard) to access GPU resources, so it's much slower
then it is better to connect it to the gpu
COD is arguably the worst example for it, it happens in some form in nearly every campaign, some more egregious than others, battlefield 3 and 4 are the absolute worst offenders of it for the franchise
correct
you should always do that if possible
I feel like world at war did a pretty good job
if you care about cosmetics yes
WAW isn't revisionist in a "we're doing this for a story intention" but it's awful in terms of accuracy generally
misrepresentation of weapons uniforms soldiers wore during the war etc
a lot more minor than the others, well, as far as who's the worst anyways
I kind of turn off my media literacy skills when I'm playing Call of duty games to be honest
which is why it's done, the story doesn't want you to think of it's actual representation, cause that version is a lot more dull and boring, the opposite of what a shooter has to be
Mmm
it's very rare games are dedicated to realism, and when they are, they also have to be a lot slower
Peach wise man
I will forever be flash banged by spec ops the line
very good game, but not based on realism
What would you say is a more realistic game that represents well

red orchestra and insurgency are because they're simulators.. and also why nobody plays them because it's very boring and mundane having to simulate real mechanics
I'm playing this new map for the first time why is that out of bounds borders so weird
Insurgency is fun what are you talking about
I love it slowed out system
spec ops the line's theme is based on a hypothetical story of PTSD, but the actual campaign itself is set in a fictional setting (for narrative purposes)
Loadout
sure, but you're not playing it for hundreds of hours are you
I see what you mean I was thinking of a more grounded story
and that's the difference on why they're boring
🙂
I'm not at 100 hours yet but I'm not that far away
Lol
I mean tarkov is a simulator but people still play that I think insurgency just needs better advertising
the problem is tarkov is the only game of its type
and why it's such a niche game area, for the people who will play it recurringly
How tf are we meant to dog fight?
Is it full throttle?
Bruh these jet changes smh
it's to disincentivise that
free acces is only on steam?
the idea is you use the afterburners to gain tighter air velocity
I love the vehicle timer though it makes me actually be able to play them sometimes
it's on all platforms
Everywhere
EA app too?
correct
Well yeah I get that but what about when you don’t have the afterburner
Is it full throttle?
er if you don't have the afterburner then you need to disengage where possible
oh no wonder why some players werent reviving. they're completely new to battlefield
lmao
most jet pilots are ass so there's certain stuff you can do to lose them on your tail
That doesn’t make sense
So you’re telling me I engage for only 2 seconds at a time, then all other times I just what run away?
no, you need to adapt to using your afterburners as conservatively as possible
you'll be too used to using it for everything
use your map and situational awareness to know when to use them, e.g. if there's aircraft such as a jet or not, and prioritize accordingly
I found your reddit account deco

enjoy the boring posts
The rocket launcher is very effective in the whole ways of this new map
Well yeah this is just basic jet stuff I understand that, just wondering if you’re saying that fighting with out an afterburner is genuinely completely undoable. Is there not an “optimum speed” for dogfighting now like there was in BF4?
I was only ever good at piloting in battlefield 1
it's not totally not doable, the question is if your rival jet pilot has afterburners available or not, which you need to either let them force out or be aware when they've used it, and that's based on your own afterburner amount, you can engage them if you don't have any, just you're at a disadvantage, so context awareness is everything
jet dogfighting is much more than "who shoots who", map knowledge and team positioning are critical
just going in blind to kill the other pilot will end up with you getting slaughtered by an attack heli anti AA or something else more often than not
The method I usually go with is I know for sure, if the other pilot knows what they’re doing, you both use the afterburner the moment you get in a turn fight, do of course try and get the better turn to start the engagement.
But my only issue is what to do when you’re waiting for it to recharge. Is it better to use it in bursts, or wait for it to full replenish. I need to wait for one of the big dogs like Silk or someone to make a video on it. I’m hopping on an air superiority portal server rn just to give it a go.
yes you need to use it in bursts
you gain tighter turns from burst usage than full draining, and the other guy will by default behaviour use it all, so you gain the advantage
So you’re saying once you start the engagement, don’t use it all up? Just use bits at a time to remain with boost always in the tank?
This turret is useless what's the point of having it if it doesn't even do anything and the buff of standing beside it barely does anything and it kind of goes against the whole idea of a turret. if there's a person near it and I have to be near my turret I might as well shoot him and kill him much faster
I get what you’re saying actually
correct, jets work a bit differently in older games, in 2042, the initial burst has a tighter turn velocity than prolonged usage
alr so whats the secret to playing this game well? because u can literally engage combat from across the map. theres almost no skill involved, besides controlling the non existent recoil
so when you burst you get to stack those
not many folk are aware of that, it's a bit strange to get used to, but you'll get it eventually
the aim of the game with dogfighting is attrition, not trying to kill them immediately, keep that in mind and you'll win engagements more often than not
Flank
burst firing, if you fire your weapon for the entire clip in full auto you will have weapon spread
Alright cool, I’ll give it a go actually. I think there’s a penalty too if you fully deploy all your boost as there’s maybe half a second where it doesn’t start to refill immediately if fully used up.
yeah that's correct you assume right it's not placebo
it's to disincentivise draining it all
yea i know that.
Due to all the new players even the ones that aren't bots act like bots I've never gotten so many kills in my life
i cant when i get shot from a 1 pixel hole in the wall 450 meters away
Use vehicle
There are 2 ways on oce servers
are you aware that your dispersion amount increases based on how long you fire though?
And then use anti-vehicle armament against them
i know that if u fire in bursts u have less spread and recoil. i dont study battlefield sorry 💀
yea i didnt even know that existed.
so how it works is based on your expended bullet per fire, so the first few bullets (depends on the weapon) don't have any dispersion, so when you burst you reset your spread to 0
I KNOW
then how do you not know about long engagement?
😭
u just taught me how to shoot long range
i said i have a problem with those who do
with this game's ttk, im not flicking onto their head
im dead in 0.03 seconds
certain maps?
I assume it's hourglass or something similar
if in general then, start using smoke

do you not have smoke grenades?
i dont know how to get them
i just
load into breakthrough with
assault class
and play like its call of duty
and get squashed everytime
I assume you've just started playing, play as support and recon, it's unlocked at level 1 and is the default grenade for it
yeah don't try that, you will get slaughtered
blindly running in and shooting doesn't work in battlefield, you'll need to learn about different engagement opportunities
terrain and cover are critical, you won't get away with just being able to laser people point blank like in COD
sounds really fun
because
i get shot
through rocks
happened earlier
closed the game immediately
peeking the rock yes?
no
i said through it
ad in
as in
im behind it
and he shoots me through it
like what
er, server troubles unfortunately
yippie
game's been unstable since the latest season
LFG 2042 any game
give it a shot, it's far from just this game lol
if you think it doesn't happen in COD, you're not playing it
you quit both games?
@radiant prism 
ive officially quit mw2
and
battlefiled i just redownloaded earlier today
played like 3 games
won once
Honestly the ttk is faster in 2042 then it is in mw3 beta
if you don't want to die behind walls, then play modes with low playercounts like TDM where the tick rate doesn't deviate, but it's something that happens in all games unfortunately
not something you can avoid entirely
Here’s what I found:
434kph - Afterburner max speed
391kph - No afterburner max speed
324kph - Turn Speed afterburner
254kph - Turn Speed no afterburner
If you want infinite boost you’re gonna hover around 265kph, boosting a bit then waiting to refill again what you just used.
Found a good middle ground is holding about 280kph, you can get two and a bit full spins in before running out of boost if you try to maintain that speed.
If on console atleast, I noticed using hold instead of toggle for the boost was useful, allowed you to easily pulse the boost and not need to let go of the throttle each time to deactivate it.
I highly suggest you tweak with vehicle sensitivity since you're on console, it's going to affect you much more than on kbm
find the medium you most prefer*
and ALC settings aswell
WAY IS THAT YOU
you just don't get aimbotted across the map by Timmy on his Xbox in 2042
Ok so I was playing with you
Hoooooolly wow. I was on 70 before, wacked it to 100 and wow it’s very twitchy. Didn’t realise this was a thing interesting
Facts lol 😆
yeah it's seldom changed by 90% of folk so find the number you're most comfortable with
What the Steve doin????
ALC settings are a game changer than fuck all anybody knows about either (not for jets)
AM40 or GEW-46
Is the ttk different
I'm working on getting all the guns
I'm getting kinda close
4 more ars one sniper 2 smgs and 2 lmgs left
I had all of them until i stopped playing after zero hour
I'm good bb. Still doing 2042 and cod
yes, gew has a faster RPM than the AM40 so it's better for close engagements, but loses against it from 30m to 70m
Got it
does anyone know how to fix like battlefield 2042 validating over and over again on steam
control panel -> uninstall the EA app, boot the game
Wait a second- the gew is 750 rpm with standard issue and the am40 is 850
With the drum
The svk was fun until they made the recoil wack
the svk is still fun
@remote kiln ok so since ur battlefield king. can u coach me
I don’t like the svk anymore though cuz I know what it used to be. I remember the first month of the game I would pair it with Sundance for the funny wing suit
Yea am40 is for cqc, spread and recoil are horrible for anything else
Svk is okay. Just use DM7 or the op bsv
do it anyway. genuinely this is my last resort as a game
if you're asking as in right now, I can't be bothered playing the game at this time, it's 3am here
If you're playing Redacted just run Paik with vector and run at people
add me on the game I'll consider it later
Lol I did that for a while it was hilarious. Especially if you pair it with smoke nades
Btw @radiant prism I've been dozer'd way to much on new map
god I forgot how simple battlefield players be sometimes. see grinder map, just tunnel vision middle lane and spend whole match getting farmed while getting constantly flanked because what is flanking this is grinding. just turns their damned brains off
you need coaching in 2042? brother tbh it aint a difficult game
On the contrary, not enough
I just wish shotguns were not so annoying xD
dozers shield feels broke again though, feels like I'm deflecting rockets like they're rocks again
Lmaoo true
remember the games free rn, so a lot of folk will just be starting
yea i get beamed crossmap after peeking for 0.0009 seconds
They cough need to add back Defibing a dozer through his shield.
and redacted BT is ass for it's layout
oh right, that probably explains it too. my lord, just zero communication and people just running to their deaths over and over and over. humans are truly a simple species
eh just unlucky bumbing into sweats
Is the new AR op
and dont give me that "be unpredictable" bs. im doing whole apex legends movement and i still get all headshot dinked
no
No
it was better Syretting Dozer through his shield
New AR is like m5a3 and g46

yeah...i'm usually BT 24/7 but this map I think I'm only gonna play CQ for once. BT feels like absolute ass so far across the board : /
Is it better than the acw-r
no
Yes
it's worse, it's only a 4hk up to 10m
the weapon isn't as good as people are thinking
BT is ass don't touch it, the ziplines aren't accessible so you get trapped, hopefully it gets changed
@merry heart I actually accidentally got my 4th syrette pistol kill yesterday on redacted xD
Only play Conquest
ARs in this game have an abnormal headshot modifier
Oh cuz it feels like the community is going crazy over it despite it not being that strong, the ttk feels kinda weak
It’s just gonna happen sometimes
They nerfed the smg head shots few seasons ago
yeah it's ttk is pretty ass compared to other ARs
Yeah this new assualt rifle looks pretty potent
it's worse than the rm68 scar Acwr etc
Yea SMGs have pretty low hs modifier but ARs are still cracked
Idk why when they’re ez mode lasers
Ass TTK what.
compared to other ARs
850 RPM 5HK beyond 10M is rather quick.
Way is dropping 70-80 kills per game with it
Ttk is ok, it’s sort of a middle ground sometimes but shit like SFAR is stupid
The rm68 is my favorite gun rn as a thorough ac-42 enjoyer in the early season ms
That's like saying the m16a3 is ass. Which is isn't.
no it's not
nvk is literally a toy shooter I swear they added that just to annoy people
Sometimes I forget they added a rail gun to the game at one point, and nobody uses it now
I got railed today
Weird delay
at least its easy to leave matches when your team is absolute dog water 

maybe this was asked already but is anyone else having issues loading into a full game of breakthrough? so far the largest game i found was only 18 players.

such a ass reload why does it take 7 seconds to reload 10 shells
then the game black screens when i leave the match and i alt f4...easy solution as to when i stop playing tonight 
none on this end, there's a bug where sometimes playlists randomly don't get players, try another it should resolve itself eventually
No it's hot ass
sorry nah the nvk is literally horrid to use
such inconsistent ass damage spread and a horrible reload
not even slug rounds save it
I could make a cup of tea in the time it takes to reload that thing
sweet thnaks i'll try again, last night i kept loading into one specific map with only 16/64 players. Breakthrough is goated so i hope its just a bug
sitting there having to reload shells, which takes longer than a guy respawning from dying
you can't even pause it and shoot either without swapping weapons
sure thing
wait till next week is the answer
the XP progression is being changed after the complaints next week
play the missions each week..then wait till the next weeks missions, you have 16 weeks to finish it 
Ah thanks


I never really had difficulties. Just spray lmao.
Standard issue or high power for the gew
I wish there were a definite answer for these things, it’s not like MW where there’s a single setup for each gun
well that's why you've got the attachment system
adjust to different engagements
only thing you don't need to care about is using suppressors they suck so you can avoid those
they got changed in season 6 and are terrible now so unless they get changed again you can avoid them all
or unless you're specifically using subsonic ammo the heavy suppressor can be used
but that's the only situation
I’ll avoid all of them then except maybe the wrapped on the acw cuz it looks cool and recoil is fine
I'd say you're compromising your weapon but if you want it for looks fine by me
Meh
Bullet velocity on that gun doesn’t really matter for me
Anyway high power or standard for the gew on redacted
always vertical compensation
again depends
if it was locker it would be the gew for everything but redacted not that simple
Do you wear depends?
Yeah hipfire is better on the am40 but the gew gets more headshots
the issue is the flag layouts means there's extended distance engagements in certain sections for redacted, just be wary of where you're engaging from
Got it
Also now that suppressors don’t matter I’m gonna use high power on the gew most of the time
If I want fire rate I’ll use the am40
they don't matter for now, just be mindful that it could change very soon
I'd be surprised if it doesnt
Understandable
aim assist tuning under the settings
it's less than 96 hours since it was added so there's no optimal one right now, battlefield 3's curve though was well overpowered so probably that
SMK should have a video out soon about aim assist.
Probably
Eh I don't like it all that much the slowdown fucks me over
why did they make it 64v64 man
Tbh I'd rather play 2042 on pc, it's just the movement is too quick
dice is so dumb
On controller
just set the slowdown to 0
I do
I mean fair, I couldn't go back to controller I don't think
well I could, but it's boring
I know it’s not bf2042 but I can’t get bf4 to launch through ea
Just abuse zoom snap lmao.
wow dice im now in games plagued by ai cause u didnt keep it 32v32!
great developing!
Who cares about aim assist when you can abuse instant kills that way.
I am
it's not as busted in 2042 as in the older games unfortunately
Anyone know a fix?
if it was id go back to tracking people through walls
They should really disable snap aim for instant kill guns.
Ehh
Cause apparently they're so hard to use they need the zoom snap.
Do any of you have uniform soldier aim on
yes
Yes.
K
can't have it off gets too fuckery with camera changes
ive given this game too many chances
Bro we get it you mad about 2042
^
Here is not the place to whine you wanna do that go to twitter or reddit
Here, no one will really care about whining
I feel bad for Kevin he gets so much useless bs in his replies
Though we do poke fun at the game we just pull the piss
Kevin how big is your shoe size 
Ok so I’ve played a bit of S6
Here are my immediate thoughts
I do like the new map
At least on conquest
But overall
The map is fun and is a nice reprieve from the vehicle stuff
Yeah a well needed breath of fresh air
Haven’t gotten the new gadgets, guns, or vehicles yet so opinion is not certain
Guns are busted apparently
I don’t like that the missions have so little BP points
I know it’s a bug
But still
I’m only at level 5 rn
Regarding jet changes
You better hurry up get to 48 @calm bison
I’m using the DMR it’s going to nerfed
There’s a weird audio issue with the afterburn now
When swapping in and out of AB mode
The sounds do not sound natural
They sound spliced in
It’s rather jarring
i genuinely think im better without aim assist
Also another thing
I do think that as a map
Redacted is more fun to play than Reclaimed
It’s more interesting from a gameplay perspective
It is lowkey
Reclaimed, while being a good map
Does feel familiar, and not in a good way
I found myself quickly seeing all of the map and then just getting bored with the environment
With redacted
This map is actually cool
Although it’s smaller
I feel like there’s stuff I haven’t seen
And even when I have seen it all
I love the setting
So yeah
it's not? unwarranted, sorta, suboptimal, but muscle memory will be better without AA as you don't have your crutch lending you with your accuracy
The Metro/Locker fandom is the fucking worst.
I get it. It's a subset, it's popular, it's money. But it's like...the absolute perfect representation of Battlefield not being Battlefield, in my opinion.
Like if you want a linear infantry map something like Al Marj is way better than Redacted
I wouldn't consider Reclaimed to be an infantry map, unless you take out the combat vehicles
Reclaimed ain't an infantry map, it's small but it does have vehicle areas
Meant Redacted
It's a 2 in 1
To many Re- maps in this game
You know honestly remove the grapple from Mackay
I'll go against removing content but sometimes there are things you just don't add
And the grapple is one of them
Just finished t1 RM68
But they won't do that until we all universally push for such a change
And that won't happen as people will defend Mackay because they like being pussy rats
Mobility gadgets mess up the maps
Sundance is an example but her kit is fun as hell
Just copy paste the one from Hardline and voila Mackay is now 200% more of a team player.
Or just rework him

I'll take that
