i cant even remember the name of 2042 maps, and the map layouts feel the same on every mode

patent prism
#

Most 2042 maps seem to suit every playstyle equally, namely not at all.

#

So there's no real incentive for players to explore other playstyles either because you're most likely going to have an equal experience that there's no reason to do so.

copper ice
#

guns fulfilling multiple roles makes it harder to distinguish those playstyles too

patent prism
#

Ye, I hate the plus system with a passion.

copper ice
#

just about every single gun in bfv had a niche it filled

meager burrow
#

hi

copper ice
#

where it did something better than anything else, even if it was a stupid niche

#

in 2042 i picked like... 3 different guns

meager burrow
#

Are there any Turkish players?

copper ice
#

and you have access to the ENTIRE weapons pool instead of being limited to specific weapon types

patent prism
#

I just want a generic Recon character, an HK417A2, some LPVO, a BUIS, subsonic ammo and a suppressor.

patent prism
#

Oh wait, I can already have that weapon setup... IF THE BATTLE PASS PROGRESSION WASN'T BORKED

#

is anyone able to play bf2042 on steam after the update? all of my friends cant launch it except 1

patent prism
vast matrix
#

do you know how to fix it? we tried exploit toggles in windows but did nothing

#

tried reinstalling, revalidating

patent prism
fickle wharf
#

this worked for my 3 friends also stuck on validating

For anyone with the issue of the game requiring multiple launches to successfully load from steam . I tried this suggested fix and so far not had the issue in 2 days

vast matrix
#

hamburger menu is a thing

pine roost
#

Fair enough I suppose

#

Every day’s a school day

vocal tusk
#

You said above you are using Ea app tho

vast matrix
#

how about dice acknowledge they broke something and work towards fixiing it?

vast matrix
#

steam launches ea

vocal tusk
#

OK, and?

#

Im just saying my game no longer fails to load for me, after doing this

#

The game/Ea app file validation, and this one are totally separate things

midnight moon
#

What's the fastest way to turn in the jets with the new afterburner

vocal tusk
#

Full throttle and pull up

pine roost
#

with yaw

calm bison
#

Yeah I do think they should’ve kept the afterburn infinite

#

This is akin to putting a bandaid on a broken arm

vocal tusk
#

I dont, they just need to make acceleration/decelleration not so sudden,. and the cooldown between uses shorter

calm bison
#

Like yeah it changes up the dogfight

#

The problem is that the jets aren’t fast enough without afterburn

vocal tusk
#

They are too fast with it

calm bison
#

Well they should be fast

vocal tusk
#

Thats my problem with 2042 jets. that and the airspace is crap

calm bison
#

It’s a jet

vocal tusk
#

If following reality makes something feel worse to play, then follwing realism shouldnt be done.

#

Even on portal, 1942 planes feel really nice to fly and dogfight with cos they are orders of magnitude slower

pine roost
#

I don't mind them keeping it's speed the same, just reduce the drag when not using afterburner so turning feels snappier and you can keep your speed for longer

#

they did a decent job back with season 5, but that was when the afterburner could offset the really slow turn speeds

vocal tusk
#

Radar missiles can also get in the bin

pine roost
#

now it's becoming evident that it's rather painful to turn without

worldly sail
#

is it better to use flechette or any of the buckshot?

kindred flint
#

04 buck?

pearl ridge
#

Flechette has slightly higher damage but lower effective range. And at that range, regular buckshot kills them just as much.

copper ice
#

Basically flecgette shit

pearl ridge
#

It’s kind of a redundant thing really

#

Slugs can be pretty solid at range, if slow, but you barely carry any.

pine roost
#

especially now it kills up to 20m by default

copper ice
#

redundancy in 2042? No...

#

surely not

manic grotto
#

BOTS are the worst experience in this game

pearl ridge
#

I think reserve ammo should be based on how many ammo types you’re carrying

copper ice
pearl ridge
#

Same for underbarrel grenade launchers.

#

You can only carry so many rounds. Do you go all-in on HE or do you sacrifice capacity for additional types?

#

Instead of having just. One.

copper ice
#

Instead they gutted it

#

hooray for poor programming

chilly jacinth
#

That's just a balance decision

vocal tusk
#

Pretty big balance change to just totally leave out of the patch notes. It seems more like a bug that an intentional change

#

1 AP nade is just totally useless

chilly jacinth
#

Probably just one of the many times dice forgot to add it to the patch notes

vocal tusk
#

Even HE nades are relatively crap...you basically need a direct hit to get a kill

Busy with IRL things

pine roost
#

took a break

ebon pilot
#

EA: "I'll pay you $100 to fuck off"

mental delta
#

You think he took a break too ?

#

I expected him before they announced they weren't adding specialists anymore

pine roost
#

oh I see, thought you mean temp himself

mental delta
#

Nah he took a break

ebon pilot
#

they probably had a number of specialists in development before deciding to scrap them since the community generally didn't like specialists

pine roost
#

is that the explosive drone guy?

mental delta
chilly jacinth
#

im glad they didnt add him

mental delta
#

Or just RC recon drone

midnight moon
#

What's everyones favorite post launch map

vapid lily
#

does lowering foliage quality will give me an advantage?
any other setting I should change?

pine roost
#

foliage, lighting and ambient occlusion will probably be the ones that offer the greatest advantage turned down

there is no solution yet 😦 i hope this will fixed soon.

Hahaha someone responded to the tweet of 2042 surpassing it's all time peak record on steam today saying "This fills me with disgust" 🤣 People are so stubborn when shitty launched games become good. They literally get annoyed that it's a good game. They want it to stay crap 🤣

Anyone having problems launching 2042 on steam?

What is the behavior?

D0k wake up

frozen loom

#

Season 3 reached 36K on steam in it's free weekend with I believe no competition with other games. The fact 2042 reached 101K surpassing the all the time record DURING the MW3 beta speaks volumes about how far this game has come. The fact that this only applies to steam.... then DICE please don't do a BFV and cut support when your game is literally at it's PEAK quite literally both game wise and population wise

I mean game is really funnier now

#

But 13 maps isn't just enough

#

One of my friends played it for the first time a month ago and told me he really appreciated the game but his first question was : "Are they gonna add new maps ?" lol

vocal tusk
#

For the vast majority of those players. There are basically all new maps in this title.

The issue that will hurt retention is the way map Playlists are handled. You will literally never get to try all the maps

#

I haven't played Discarded rework since the week it released due to how shit the map ordering is

mental delta
plucky chasm
#

101k thats amazing compared to halo 2k players lol!

lilac dust
mental delta
#

Overall game really improved and Dice should keep updating it until they strongly progressed on the new game's develoment, so I would say it would be fair to support it for like 1 additional year

plucky chasm
#

hopefully they make class update and get rid of specialist

chilly jacinth
#

class update already happened

plucky chasm
#

yea but specialists are bad still

#

and make itl ess fun imo i went back to bf1 today and its miles better still

chilly jacinth

ok

im not even playing until they fix that up. i'll be back next weekend for the double XP.. hope they had fixed the matchmaking by that time

yea or offline class mode even

oh really damn

Noone in this thread has actually followed the issue post guidelines

chilly jacinth
#

i wish my search times was as fast as that guys

plucky chasm
#

thats a long time all they got to do is look at bf1 or bf3 or bf4 formula and make sure the graphics look better as well again and go back to 64 players

Hello

plucky chasm
#

the new map reminds me of operation locker but worse ay

#

will they fix battle pass leveling?

mental delta
# plucky chasm really 2026 damn

Yes it takes 5 years to make AAA games usually, it began preproduction in 2022 and was still in that phase 2 or 3 weeks ago so 2026 is a fair guess

plucky chasm
#

really damn well it better get rid of specialists im afraid if specialists again I will be skipping next one

#

it was a nice experiment i guess but doesnt work for bf

vocal tusk
#

Works fine as it is now

#

Would be better if there were 2x the weapons per type, and per class weapon restrictiosn also

mental delta
# vocal tusk Works fine as it is now

Most people don't like it though, it's not only about if it works or not, it's about people liking it or not and many players didn't like BF2042 partially because of specialists

#

I'm one of them

#

I just got used to it

#

Doesn't mean I like it

vocal tusk
#

They didnt like it at launch, what we have not is a decent class system

mental delta
#

Not talking only about how it plays, because yes it plays way better than at launch, but it's also about how it looks and I gotta say BF2042 doesn't look like anything I expected

azure zenith

#

They’ve been working on something since mid 2022 though, so by mid 2024 or early 2025 they may have something ready to launch

azure zenith
#

Plays better than the rest of the competition.

arctic grove
#

Well to be fair it’s competition is sbmm or halo infinite which….. CursedCat

#

Iirc halo infinite also has sbmm anyway

arctic grove
patent prism
#

So, I am a little cautious with saying "MOAR GUNS PLZ DICE OMG" because you can only make so many unique combinations of stats for the various categories and I'm not sure I want to have to grind for reskinned weapons that differ from one another in model and purely minute details in their stats.

azure zenith
#

Dice needs to do some competitions of some sort. Get on a R6 and COD level with the communities.

arctic grove
#

If you like them that’s one thing but tbf this franchise is at dirt bottom and some people have already way too low standards for what to accept

mental delta
vocal tusk
#

Well the competition is a dead halo game, and MW2 DLC

Of course, im not saying its a bad game either. Just that it could have been a game update and DLC.

patent prism
arctic grove
#

Well it’s also more gun models at similar stats so they’re all somewhat competitive anyway, in general I wish more games gave me cool more unknown guns

Mhh, yeah, okay. You have a point there that I hadn't considered.

mental delta

#

It’s so weird they asked for skill gap movement but not removing skill based matchmaking

#

I guess they think they can out sweat the algorithms

azure zenith
#

I think xdefiant fuked up by promising a F2P out the gate. Like how are they gonna pay for it at launch? Think there are big business man problems we aren't seeing behind closed door. Probably shareholders and ubisoft saying you better give us our money back! Or else! Lmao 😂

Le skins, probably

#

Unless they just sell DLCs of some sort

battle pass, cosmetics? idk wot else tbf lol

azure zenith
#

Idk, I usually only get the premium pass for BF and COD. After that I grind. But some people have deeper pockets I suppose. Lol

vocal tusk
#

The COD cycle...

Beta (No/limited SBMM) : "COD is back. This is the best in years!!!!"

One month post launch : "Really feeling the grind, the game is less fun than before"

3 months post launch: "This game is terrible, I cant wait for *INSERT COD DEVELOPERs next game. Only they know how to make a good COD game"

9 months post release, trailer for next game is released: "The hype is real, this game looks like it fixes everything!!!!"

They need to really extend the life out of this game...to remove the bad taste that the abandonment of BFV left in players mouths

If this game were to be prematurely dropped...it will just add to this narrative of "DICE dont support their games long term"

I think future Battlefield games are going to be increasingly difficult to balance due to the current leaps forward in common military technology. ENVG-B, XM157 NGSW-FC, patrol drones, etc... It's going to be very difficult to balance these things in a manner fair to their real-life references.

I got the 7 kill ballistic shield achievment!

patent prism
#

So in some reluctant way I can understand why 2042 had a "global electronics failure" as a part of the stor (if I recall correctly) because in 2042 without some major disastrous event like that, soldiers are going to have access to technology that we can not yet even imagine.

Lol

patent prism
#

The storylines and worldbuilding in Battlefield games has mostly been lackluster, I would not consider it to be a viable timeline for a cinematic setting.

#

I mean I'm like 85-90% certain that DICE could hire a FHS Karlberg cadet and just give him a shit load of crack or marijuana and get a better story and world than their writing staff possibly could. (Sorry DICE writers, I appreciate the effort but not the results.)

azure zenith
#

Honestly thinking outside the box is the way these days. Look at Nintendo. They almost never struggle. Doing something new but still holding on to Nintendo. I mean super Mario is never touched or changed as a character. They even made a movie that I love more than my kids BTW. Lmao 💯 🔥 🤣

Tbh I still have no idea who the fuck "Oz" is or what his relevance is to the story, but I gather he's the main antagonist. Somehow.

lone void
#

Especially with the factions and visual storytelling element. Like with the current season, there's both groups of combatants on both teams because it's not tied to the map or anything

#

Oz is actually the protagonist

#

He starts off being bad but only because the CIA were in control at the start and they turn out to be bad

#

So there's a team switch

#

Exodus joins Oz

#

Save the world

patent prism
#

I would say that's an interesting switch but it kinda isn't.

I don't do it justice

i have literally no idea what the story is supposed to be

It's a lotttt of reading

I just know there was some electronic worldwide "reset" or something and there's a ship called the Exodus, some dude named Oz is involved somewhere.

Season 1-4 is about trying to stop Oz from "building a weapon" according to the US. At the end of season 4 we discover it's actually the Shearwater satellite (this time dubbed Shearwater-II) which the US attempted to use to stabilize North America's weather and failed and ended up causing the blackout of 2040.

Each season followed the assault on a key location in Oz's plan.
Season 1 was of the Blackridge Research Facility (Exposure) which was where Shearwater-1 was built.
Season 2 was the Dark Market (Stranded) where Oz was getting his parts to build the satellite.
Season 3 was Nordvik's factories (Spearhead) where Oz was building the satellite.
Season 4 was Wellspring (Flashpoint), where Oz was reusing the abandoned facility to manufacture rocket fuel.

The fact that it went to 100k bodes well for future seasons/support

its insane how fast it died off. youtubers hyped it up for weeks and everyone thought it was the next big thing, then people relized they dont like roblox lol

i dont doubt its fun and a good game but i cant sit there playing essentially a roblox mod

like are ppl not supposed to tryhard

given the game its a little understandable lmao. im a big fan of sweating at games sometimes but even i make fun of people like that

especially given that most of the playerbase are casuals. not against sweats, just saying posting a clip of me sweating at block-shooter is a little cringe

tacit sphinx

and like the disparity between the look and feel of the game - it's more hardcore than bf, plays more like squad but looks like roblox

yea i get ur point but getting mad at people for trying their hardest in any game is just cringe

Set it in Tokyo then

i can see it being not very well received though

It wouldn’t be the first map with pretty lights and stuff

Dawnbreaker and Sunken Dragon come to mind

Urban map would be fantastic.

#

Redacted is a lot of fun of course, but having alleys, door-to-door fighting, etc would be fantastic.

helicopters would absolutely rule the skies and it would be nearly impossible to hit let alone kill a semi decent pilot in a full on city map

In R6 Siege, she has 3 opportunities to remotely inject her squad with a serum that lets you be immune to toxic spikes and other effects, boosts their health by 125% for a few seconds, and res downed teammates.
