#battlefield-2042
1 messages · Page 1375 of 1
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.
guns fulfilling multiple roles makes it harder to distinguish those playstyles too
Ye, I hate the plus system with a passion.
just about every single gun in bfv had a niche it filled
hi
where it did something better than anything else, even if it was a stupid niche
in 2042 i picked like... 3 different guns
Are there any Turkish players?
and you have access to the ENTIRE weapons pool instead of being limited to specific weapon types
I just want a generic Recon character, an HK417A2, some LPVO, a BUIS, subsonic ammo and a suppressor.
soulless
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
stuck validating ?
Okay fine, substitute a SAKO M23 in place of the HK417A2.
yes!!
do you know how to fix it? we tried exploit toggles in windows but did nothing
tried reinstalling, revalidating
I have heard through the grapevine that having Steam in offline mode can help
Try this:
Visit the EA App "Hamburger" Menu Icon.
Highlight Help
Select "App Recovery"
Reloading the EA App and Steam may be required.
this worked for my 3 friends also stuck on validating
the "hamburger" is in the top left
it worked. u really do be the mvp tho
will u have my babies
I also find it funny how Kevin described it as a hamburger and not three lines
no 
its called this popularly in the programming world, particularly with web and mobile devs
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
hamburger menu is a thing
Fair enough I suppose
i tried this and it aint work
Every day’s a school day
You said above you are using Ea app tho
how about dice acknowledge they broke something and work towards fixiing it?
everything uses ea app
steam launches ea
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
What's the fastest way to turn in the jets with the new afterburner
Full throttle and pull up
with yaw
Yeah I do think they should’ve kept the afterburn infinite
This is akin to putting a bandaid on a broken arm
I dont, they just need to make acceleration/decelleration not so sudden,. and the cooldown between uses shorter
Like yeah it changes up the dogfight
The problem is that the jets aren’t fast enough without afterburn
They are too fast with it
Well they should be fast
Thats my problem with 2042 jets. that and the airspace is crap
It’s a jet
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
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
Radar missiles can also get in the bin
now it's becoming evident that it's rather painful to turn without
is it better to use flechette or any of the buckshot?
04 buck?
Flechette has slightly higher damage but lower effective range. And at that range, regular buckshot kills them just as much.
Basically flecgette shit
It’s kind of a redundant thing really
Slugs can be pretty solid at range, if slow, but you barely carry any.
especially now it kills up to 20m by default
BOTS are the worst experience in this game
I think reserve ammo should be based on how many ammo types you’re carrying
this would have made so much more sense
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.
That's just a balance decision
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
Probably just one of the many times dice forgot to add it to the patch notes
Even HE nades are relatively crap...you basically need a direct hit to get a kill
Classic squad at the bottom of the board
one of them spawned in a pondhawk below the map

C flag is so crap on this map. If I wanted to play breakthrough, id play it.
https://x.com/temporyal/status/1616069609144348674?s=20 What happened to this guy ?
Busy with IRL things
took a break
Nah I'm talking about the specialist
You think he took a break too ?
I expected him before they announced they weren't adding specialists anymore
oh I see, thought you mean temp himself
Nah he took a break
they probably had a number of specialists in development before deciding to scrap them since the community generally didn't like specialists
is that the explosive drone guy?
I hope they won't add specialists in the next game 😬
im glad they didnt add him
What's everyones favorite post launch map
does lowering foliage quality will give me an advantage?
any other setting I should change?
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.
overlays 

are your friends set to invisible
alt-f1 if you have nvidia card
.
the black screen after a match is happening more often for me lately -_-
KEK
Spearhead or Flashpoint, new map just came out so I can't say for now
2 minute edit, but I would have preferred if Breakaway 64P layout was like this 🤣
Stupid game, doesn't have a server fucking browser
WOAH .... It actually happened https://twitter.com/BFBulletin/status/1713578293348147368
can i join anyone on 2042 i just got it yesterday
@shell wadi @ebon halo @rose rose
SteelingSheep77
Shouldn't you use the LFG rooms for this stuff?
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?
control panel > uninstall the EA app, boot the game

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 thought it was leak about some upcoming content or some other shit, you really disappointed me fuck
It looks like is not the same bug, disabling overlays does not help for me. This is the bug I thought he speaks about: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Input-Devices-delayed-not-responsive-in-matches/td-p/13066705
It worked, much appreciate!
sure thing
You disappointed me that you dont care how successful the game is 
I'm happy to see many people are enjoying it and probably changing their opinion on the game for some of them, I just don't think a lot of all those people are gonna keep playing this game because content is too low
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
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
Yes and no, I mean sure those are new maps for them, but that feeling of "new maps" won't stay for long as there are 13 maps lol
101k thats amazing compared to halo 2k players lol!
Obviously it'll drop drastically. Content isnt gonna magically make the drop number hugely different. People will keep playing and buying it on sale if they enjoy it. I mean were still here lol some people will get hooked on the game regardless of slow content. Some people wont. Doesnt make this moment any less impressive. It should definitely help with getting more seasons either way
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
hopefully they make class update and get rid of specialist
class update already happened
yea but specialists are bad still
and make itl ess fun imo i went back to bf1 today and its miles better still
ok
yet in the days they reach 100k players.. they fucked up the matchmaking and then you get lot of AI in your matches... i swear you can't make this shit up lol
Yeah I agree with it, it's impressive to see how far it went down and how high it got back lol, but I just think that at this point no matter how many players there are on this game, there's a really precised quantity of seasons they plan to make and I don't see them making a lot more, reaching season 8 or 10 is fair guess imo
i had a lot of AI matches as well
i think season 7 is last one if we lucky
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
You'll have to wait for next game to get a BF game without specialists lol, I'd like it if they could add basic AI classes as playable but they won't
ahh damn the next bf with marcus leto right thats gonna be bomb game
yea or offline class mode even
awfully hopeful
Their studio is only making the SP
that dice has learned
oh really damn
It can be a massive Dice success if they take their time and listen to the community, don't expect it until 2026 I'd say though
What is your CPU?
Noone in this thread has actually followed the issue post guidelines
i wish my search times was as fast as that guys
really 2026 damn
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
My CPU is Ryzen 7 5800X3D, GPU 4070 Ti. I will check for the guidelines and provide what is needed to debug.
the new map reminds me of operation locker but worse ay
will they fix battle pass leveling?
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
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
Works fine as it is now
Would be better if there were 2x the weapons per type, and per class weapon restrictiosn also
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
They didnt like it at launch, what we have not is a decent class system
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
no
Definitely agree there. If there were twice the weapons. Maybe even a little more customization and attachments. It would be better. I usually on keep the stock skin or the T1 skin. But if the guns were more customizable. Would be more fun.
Even that would take time to actually put together
They’ve been working on something since mid 2022 though, so by mid 2024 or early 2025 they may have something ready to launch
So true
Plays better than the rest of the competition.
Well to be fair it’s competition is sbmm or halo infinite which….. 
Iirc halo infinite also has sbmm anyway
No they don’t man, dice should forget about them as a thing in this franchise if they care about it succeeding again lol
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.
Dice needs to do some competitions of some sort. Get on a R6 and COD level with the communities.
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
Yeah that's what I find sad and scary at the same time lol, even a bad BF game plays better than most other games now
Facts 💯
Well the competition is a dead halo game, and MW2 DLC
No matter what tho there’s always gonna be that one gun that’s also just objectively better than the rest even with unique stats
I’m okay with different models and similar stats since that’s just more aesthetic options that I can still be competitive with
Server needs more penguins so unstabled lmao
Don't underestimate the power of the MW2 DLC though lol, it's gonna sell better than most games
Of course, im not saying its a bad game either. Just that it could have been a game update and DLC.
You make a compelling argument, more variety "extends" the search period for the objectively better weapon and configuration.
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.
Not saying it's gonna be a bad game lol, but it's not a game, it's really an extension of MW2 so...
Don't forget xdefiant. I'm kinda excited to try that out. But I almost converted to R6 because of the lack of options the we had in the FPS communities. Lol
The longer ttk and movement plus it’s sbmm are totally going to fuck it just give it like 2-3 months post launch 
Even the people who wanted those changes will be disappointed 
So true.
I bought R6 Siege and played two matches, uninstalled it and refunded it. In other words; not my cup of tea.
I really cant see Xdefiant doing well in this market
will be out in 2024 tho
Xdefiant got pushed back to 2024? Damn
Idk, not many options. Could stay a float just for that reason. But we'll see.
Hopefully they actually use that time well

I feel you. I did the same thing. I'm definitely not a tactical shooter type. But I was gonna reinstall if season 6 didn't deliver. Luckily it did. Lol
,,XDefiant might be released in November or December later this year but is more likely to be in the Q1 2024 release window"
COD player base is gonna eat all the shit you give them, give them fuckers some piece of crap and they'll eat with an impressive appetite, no matter how bad a COD game is it's always appreciated lol
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

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 😂
battle pass, cosmetics? idk wot else tbf lol
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
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!!!!"
I mean, my problem isn't the "tactical shooter" thing, I play a fair bit of Ready or Not (actually bought it in 2019) and some Ground Branch. My problem was just that everything seemed so unpolished, half-assed and outdated.
True, just a back and forth with COD. Lol
Quick question, does the premium battle pass come with that +20% exp boost? My boyfriend just bought the premium one and his didn't come with it but mine did..
Tbh this is something that's not exclusive to COD, the same thing seemed to be true with Battlefield during the leading up to and following the release.
Yes, premium battle pass does have a +20% XP booster for the duration of the season.
ok 🙂 ty
I like to call this the "Führerbunker Syndrome" by the way. The blind faith in a single event to turn everything around and when that doesn't happen put the same faith in the next event.
True it is 8 years old. But CSGO was old asf and super popular. But CSGO was fun.
Season 10 would be more than enough for me to be satisfied tbh
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"
It would only mean 4 additional maps though
As someone who is a hopeless World War 2 nerd, I was always rather surprised they never made a Eastern Front experience for BFV. Granted the Eastern Front was basically 4 years of war crimes, but none the less Stalingrad would have been a fucking amazing area to play Battlefield in (some RO2 nostalgia at play).
I agree but this game gets supported with low amount of content if not minimum acceptable so it's not that different
True. They need to take their time. Make BF great again! Lol
Yes, which is low af ?
Lower than most hardcore players would want, I agree.
I just want a little more customization on the weapons. And a 1.25 thermal on the dm7. I'll be happy until the next one. Lol 😅
A fellow DM7 connoisseur, I see. 🥂
Ugh I hate how I can't do gifs. Anyways fist bump respect. Lol.
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.
True, and the next generation of gamers. I completely agree.
I got the 7 kill ballistic shield achievment!
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.
Congrats 🥳
embrace it.
assault with ballistic shield
That's only good advice if you have a team to push with
Otherwise you just get slapped up by a defending squad
be the medic
It only takes 2 people to ruin an unaware Dozer
me when i join in random squad n i see my team trolling aka capturing flag at their base 💀
Medic on redacted is funi
while i push alone 🥲
just do 2142 style combat for the future
Russia spawn traps are painful
truly 🤣
US spawn is way easier to retake
tunnels r so annoying as hell
Ok tbh I wasn't thinking. I was being too nice lmao .... We need a season 20 for the game to be in PEAK shape 🤣
Kinda hoping for a late Cold War/early GWOT Battlefield personally.
Crazy to think that if we got a season 20, the game would still have less maps than .... I think EVERY battlefield game? STILL? lol
I had a class game yesterday, the objectives hit a stalemate at half and half and the whole match was spent fighting over the middle of the map, me and my squad held the stairs/tunnel to the C1 flank, it was proper intense
Safe to say, Rao with claymores, throwing knives and a shotgun is fun
I'd love this
Very good era for vehicle infantry interaction
termal doesn't work on smoke?
Balance purposes
Agreed, I would do a lot in return for a late Cold War Gone Hot scenario where at least the playing field was fairly balanced between the parties, at least in terms of equipment (morale and will to fight is a different question).
I think we all just need WW2 again 
Also, NATO cold war stuff is insanely aesthetic. That sweet sweet M81 and DPM.
Battlefield Stalingrad.
Would buy.
Cold War all day every day
Almost sounds like a really shitty documentary.
B list action film
Yeah, I could imagine that.
When are we getting the battlefield cinematic universe
Please no.
Lol
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.)
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 💯 🔥 🤣
other then the loading screen quotes the story is solid
The story is a bit too dissociated from reality for my taste, but everyone has their own opinion of course.
Granted I can't recall the entire Battlefield 2042 storyline in my current sleep deprived state.
i was just talking about the launch story
havnt really kept track with the current story because i dont like reading lol
I dislike how 2042 started out because they kind of assumed people already knew what was happening? It was a lot of words and events being thrown around that didn't have much background to go from.
I wish they would've just had singleplayer or coop war stories instead so you could have an interactive story for the game.
Yeah
Hello guys
I don't hate the kind of "evolving" story they have where the multilayer almost is the story but at the same time there's still no real foundation there


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.
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
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.
I just think of the Wizard of Oz whenever I hear the name...
Lol it's ok at least you're being kind towards devs, but yeah game needs more maps like really
He is essential the hero depending on your viewpoint, and the USA or at least part of the USA in the form of Wolfe were actually the bad guys.
Ah. Thanks.
Since Wolfe tries to kill all the No Pats with a tomahawk missile on the Spearhead map lol
Fucking amateur
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.
as boris describes him 
Still the best end of season easter egg
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.
it is funny that russia is mostly like not the bad guys in the 2042 conflict
like theyre not doing anything the US isn’t at least and at least in the nopats/oz narrative the US is doing a lot more and a lot worse
tbf i don’t know how much wolff is acting on US authority and how much he’s just doin his own fuckass thing
Hey I want to try the new planes in battlefield 2042 where can I use one (what mode and where)
Unlock it in the battle pass, then play any mode with transport vehicles
No I mean vehicles I just want to use vehicles I don’t mean new planes I’m just new to bf2042 and can’t figure out where to deploy with a vehicle
There is a cog wheel beside the base spawn location, hit it
there’s a gear icon under your team’s hq spawn
well the main spawns will have a little gear(?) icon you can click on to get to the vehicle spawn menu
or when you are on the ground call up your tablet with...what ever keybind that is, to call in a vehicle to your location
Which modes can you spawn them on?
also rush, and control when it’s in the rotation (unclear if that’ll be the case from now or if it was just in redux)
so basically anything that isn’t tdm
Rush starts with vehicles pre spawned
map dependent of course
Even 2042 rush
it does not
source: i play a lot of rush
it used to be but since like the start of season 5 or so it’s been the normal vehicle spawn menu
If you think it's bad now you should have seen it when it had 2 rounds in a mag and 2 reloads available
again, source: i play a lot of rush
sph aint that bad to encounter anymore
Boring ahh mode
yeah it’s funny to start complaining about it now
imagine if the r10 with explosive bolts was more prevalent
the game didnt need more ranged explosive spam 
underbarrel nerf though...hilarious dice
seems like a well thought out change frfr
Nobody uses UBGs anyway

Only on SFAR because it's built into the damn thing
i used up to 3 on the RM and AK
because the guns felt more balanced using that than a grip 
Thanks
i feel like they could have just knocked it down to 2 rounds per type
Guys what does designated mean while in a jet
Someone is using a soflam on you
Oh k ty
Which mean essentially any rocket launcher in the game can lock on to you
I can't get Afterburner to work in 2042... Is this a general issue or just on my end?
EA anti cheat issue
Do you mean riva tuner and not afterburner?
BF5 better
BF5> Shatterline > BO42
shatterline is pretty awful
People love to shit on games they hate playing rather than play the games they enjoy
Clown behavior
It’s better than 2042 but not BF5
isnt shatterline dead already?
Common internet behavior. They are just looking for attention. Its really sad TBH.
pretty active
Who?
steamcharts says otherwise

but maybe its more alive on console

pc game
it has a console port
Oof
It doesn’t
if you dont criticise games you get situations like people defending 2042 at launch
lmao
presumably..
shatterline and 2042 can both suck my friend
aka money ran out
fr
i prefer bfv but since its unplayable due to dice not doing a single fucking thing about cheaters,
Managed to hit Tier 2 for both the Glock and G36C
Man if only there was some kind of newly released AC they could use 
there are no cheaters...only better players
They’re two different standpoints though. You can enjoy the game and play it (despite bugs) or you can hate it and still play it but complain about how much you don’t like it while playing it
Or just simply not play it at all
Also I was going to get the achievement for the dark souls sword on BF1 but I fucked up
Turns out running zig zag at a support with a sword in your hands isn’t practical
In other news
bfv had less cheaters when it was their active game, they literally let it get infested to focus on 2042
if they want me to play it so bad that they'll leave the previous games irradiated then they can eat the complaints
My friendship with the M87 Sweeper has ended
Model 10-A factory is now my friend
People like to say that 2042 is only doing well because it’s a free weekend
Reminder
They did a free weekend last year
angling your game as a battlefield/cod killer is a good way to get it killed itself tbh
Didn’t get nearly as many players
never ends well
Well yeah on players , but not much difference to a dead game
And we’re competing with CoD’s beta rn
Yes but now it's added with a <10 EUR sale
that's why I'm trying it out
And how are you liking it so far?
Well why focus on nearly a five year title when the focus is to fix the current title?
Isn’t Battlebit more active than BF 😭?
And MW2/3 wasnt having its open PC beta at the same time as the last free period.
Im kinda amazed it went over 100k players, but im happy for the current devs that it did. Must give them a big morale boost.
Not any more
lool
Probably will buy but it's completely different than what I'm used to in BF1 which I prefer
Battlefield 2042 has 28k players right now
It was for sometime tho 
it’s free to play and also tbh people dropped it lol
honeymoon phase hit battlebit hard
Battlebit was pushing by YouTuber , otherwise it’s a dead game too
There are aim input curves that you can change to align to previous BF games
Battlebit is f2p?
wait was it f2p or am i confused
no it was $15
Oh ok will check that out thnx
Battlebit hit a peak of 85k players due to YTer hype and it being relatively fun for what it was. But it dropped off hard.
Check your control settings
like very cool project for what it is, tiny team making some impressive stuff
11K rn 
They should be there
It’s not too bad but it didn’t even top 2042’s all time
BF2042 last month had 5K avg 😭
2042 is on multiple pc launchers
yeah it doesn't count me on EA app
EA App (fuckass), Steam, Xbox, and PS
2042 is a AIs game
|| I HAVENT PLAYED A BF GAME BEFORE
||
Should I buy 2042 or BF5?
If you want AIs then 2042
Dang i wish Boris had deep pockets as well 😦
WELCOME TO THE DARK SIDE!
For the sake of actually playing the game and having a fair experience then 2042 but you get less content
But you want more content but play against massive amounts of cheaters then bfv
I don’t know how many cheaters
I want operations
Certainly more than BF1
Eh
I found Grand Ops to be weaker than Operations
It should go
Airborne
BT
BT
Frontlines
And then if it’s not decided there then move to Final Stand
atleast imagine today 2042 reached 102k players
It’s criminal DICE made it a rotation gamemode for BFV
Weekends like this are more for their analytics than anything else.
We’ll just have to see
true
The fact that it went to 100k bodes well for future seasons/support
atleast it was prob great deal for me to buy 2042 
It hitting 100K alone will spawn a tonne of clickbait articles from almost every news outlet for the next 2 weeks
Which = good publicity for the game
I was fucking dumbfounded it went higher than the player counts during launch
ALMOST tho, 2k less than launch
it also helps that there are like 11 months of prime gaming rewards left for 2042
free is free
business
No it was higher than launch
Yeah we now have a new all time player count
yep
The new DMR is nuts...they are going to need to nerf it once more players unlock it
Goooooooooooooooooooood morning, Night City!
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
some valorant pro player tryharded on battlebit and uploaded it on twitter and
the whole comm was crying
lmao
jesus christ lmao
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
yeah i don't play on pc but i don't think i could get past the look tbh
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
and the detail levels of like the guns being pretty well made just blocky, vs the player models literally being minecraft steve
yeah both sides of whatever twitter drama that is are in the cringe tbh
I want to thank Dice for adding a music-changing option to the menu. Really like ost of previous seasons
mannnnn i just had one of the best gameplay in a longtime on breakaway, so many engineers and soflam users we demolished the enemies armored vehicles
they ahould add night city to bf2042
dawnbreaker 2.0
and would make a great collab
hmmmm
Secret to success
interesting
We have our CQC map in Redacted...a heavy urban combat map would be nice next
cyberpunk (theme, not franchise) battlefield would be honestly interesting
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
I wouldn't want air vehicles on it for a few reasons, primarily because they wouldn't be very useful.
ehh depends on rooftop objectives but yeah if they did make it I would want air vics to be banned
Yeah, rooftop objectives maybe but even then most semi-intelligent players would just stay inside buildings and only expose themselves momentarily in the streets.
its crazy how rao before patch was "You can aim and run but you cant shoot" after patch: "You struggle to aim/run but you can shoot!"
cannot cook grenades?
Rooftops can work if they are designed well. Like the double sided 3 tier main skyscraper flag on Siege of Shanghai
2042 desperately needs to disallow vehicle callins on building tops tho...if it were ever to work
I meant in combination with air vehicles. Rooftop objectives are fine, but having air vehicles in the mix would just be a no-no from me because they'd be largely useless and mostly relegated to moving people into random otherwise unaccessible rooftops (Siege of Shanghai, cough).
Shanghai worked well cos 2 of the access points areas(the highest elevator on the north side) had zero cover or defensive positions
So a team cant really lock it down
Agree entirely, I just had a match on Spearhead where the enemy team called in two tanks and an AA vehicle on the top of the cube closest to our spawn.
Surprise surprise, we lost.
Surely they can implement a system...where you cant call in vehicles higher than a certain height on the Z axis
Or Y...depending on what this engine uses as up haha
Yeah, I don't understand how that still hasn't been addressed.
There is still a few left
Gimme something like Seine Crossing
There are?
128p conquest at least
Well, for conquest, yeah.
The watchamacall it on Orbital?
Cos they have helis and many other access points now
- the new flying transport drone thing
I'm curious, can the pondhawk reach up to the roof of the tower on Orbital?
yes
Neat
the recon wallhack number 3 equipment, do my team also see the blinking wallhack?
No.
No.
Nope
It's a 🩼 id rather have the cool down be even longer tbh. Easy to farm xp on the new map though.
i should probably t1 paik
I spammed her to make the battle pass progression bareable. Unlocked the VHX finally. Felt dirty doing it though.
the what?
New vehicle from Season 6.
Yes, it can. It has a very high ceiling
huh I looked through vics yesterday to look for if they added something but I didn't see anything
It wont appear in game til you unlock it
I remembered the hype for a new vic when the trailer dropped
not even the locked icon?
like everything else
No, cos whats the point in showing a vehicle you cant use
weird they changed that
Its the same with weapons on the spawn screen. They only show in the colection
I'm not talking about the drop in tablet
We are taling about thw same thing
As always, yes
I'll look at it when I get home, ty both :)!
Hello

im a higher mastery with paik(7) than blasco(6)
wtf..
Easier challenge

woo?

I'm surprised the mastery reward isn't "blah damage blocked"
the VHX is so busted I'm probably going to T1 it before I unlock the new marksman rifle
10 dollars on steam, is bf2042 finally worth the hype?
i assume you mean isn't but yeah
yea
but then mastery stuff requiring people to shoot at you would be a little odd, same with proposed dozer and irish masteries
those two would make a bit more sense
So... why do I keep getting kicked out of the game?
If you believe in a dollar an hour worth of entertainment, then yes.
i mean like, is the game good yet
It is.
A new season just came out this past week.
New map, new guns, and new vehicle..
the good ol wait a few years after release for a battlefield game to reach its prime
cool, thanks. ill look into installing it then

thats the mindset of any triple a game
True. That's why I waited on Starfield. Realized it was a shitshow game.
Hello
good is a hard question
Who tf preorders games
is it true that if I play with people from us i get a bad ping but when i use vpn changer it gets better?
me
Are you not scarred by the amount of bad releases recently?
i only preorder games that i know i will play
even if its bad, i play it for the franchise
and besides it got good now
it took like 2 years but its good
i am not saying that i am happy about it, but i just love the concept of battlefield since bf3
You put your money down and hope the game gets good (if ever)?
hmm i think my massge doesnt make sense
yeah lmfao
I played Season 02 of 2042 on gamepass and finally bought it in Season 04 for $5
We play the same game yet I paid way less
Yes
i am happy for you nioce job
Cheers
But the point is, you shouldn't do this to yourself
Games are better after hundreds of patches
And cheaper too
It's an alternative lifestyle
I think ppl should really consider not preordering stuff now
Knowing how games turn out
And most never get much better
But I won't stop you
I can't
But if the industry goes to shit, I'll know who's to blame.
(not saying that it's not already gone to shit)
Rant over
sorry


lol once again im amazed at people that pick a medic then....dont revive 
dude vaults up through the fans, on the same level as me...decides to look down and potentially not even kill someone, then just runs away and im sitting there like cool...nice teamplay there 
or theres smoke down
im asking for a revive...its pretty safe, im basically near cover...nah fam ima sit back there 23m the entire time
I spam the request and nobody shows up
yeah I think you'll be seeing a lot of medics that won't revive since they don't even know it's a thing
Somebody's gotta tell these cod kids that Falck isn't just for stims
That reminds me...
I played Doc because every other defender was taken.
This one dude kept rushing through the bank lobby and I lasered him every round
He called me a hacker
Then when it was a 1v1, I got knocked and I rez'd myself and I killed the final guy
I was also called a hacker because of it

I stole an enemy condor! for like 1 full minute lol
tried to deliver it back to base but got ambushed by a enemy chopper
finna play finka? (what does that character do i have no idea who they are) 
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.
It's a very tactical ability.
Ohhhh that chick
She's an attacker.
game spawns me in the back by a ....10m from enemies running from b to a...god this system is amazing
The spawn in the new map is just bad
spawning enemies right in front of you
spawning enemy behind you
god this map is horrible lol
just turns into a fucking steam roll so easily
ayyy nice same cunt killed me 4 times now with that g428
I thought I heard #iHavePersonalSkillIssues in this chat.

ah you should probably get your hearing checked then ngl
I have perfect hearing
My hearing is fucked or will be fucked
Been blasting loud music in my ears for so long
oh well cant carry worthless teammates, what else is new 
Same here but so far, my hearing is perfect. Never had issue with it.
I just got used to loud sounds and bass tbh.
Crawford's 4x AT rockets are so good in Discarded on top of the ship.
I was using AA rockets, but the enemies stopped using aircrafts since I always lock onto them.
best outcome when using AA rockets tbh
True.
Yeah it is. The AT rockets are much better.
im shocked
I haven't seen anyone use their countermeasures when I use my AT rockets.
Versus everyone using countermeasures when I use my AA rockets.
well those wouldnt work anyways
Really?
unless the AT rocket is locking onto something that was lasered/darted?

dumb fired rockets arent effected by flares
Would be cool if we had guns that where like designed by AI since there are already some furnitures and I think a whole car chassis that an AI made through a 3d printer
its so horse shit lol
you get naded like
every 3 secs
and its basically a meat grinder simulator
it's basically just operation locker
Mine was smart.
Is there any real way to contact EA support? When I use their EA Help site, bots automatically mark my cases as solved without providing any help.
I personally use reddit for a wide community help platform and twitter.
What's the problem buddy?
Buff engineers more 
I've tried posting on Reddit, but for some reason they delete my posts even though they're regular, safe questions. I asked the mods about it, but sadly they didn't give me any answer.
The rockets need a damage buff.
My problem is that after around 90 kills, all my progress just stops. And not only on weapon mods, but also I can't get any ribbons or finish quests. Is this normal?

What’s some good load outs just got the game
the m5a3 is really good
its a jack of all trades
This 👍
Alr
and if you want lmgs then go for the lcmg imo
Alr
Alancys
Default weapons destroy
for real
and if you want to do the battle pass all of the battle pass weapons are good
Is the ultimate shortcut worth
Except for the pistol 😞
Alr
the pistol is pretty good
not as good as some other ones but its still good
Ultimate battle ass here we go
BP pistol is erm
I am currently grinding the Pondhawk and I have never known such pain
any recruitement for SEA players? adopt me pls
I saw someone who ALREADY HAD THE PONDHAWK T1
And a damn good gunner
all u gotta do is switch seats
and launch a recoilless m5 or rpg
and you good
when i have friends on they get lock on missiles and harass people
Everytime I do I get shot out instantly, I’m better as a pilot
if im the pilot alone i like trolling people with it
ive gotten so many sniper kills with the pondhawk by switching seats
the snipers who camp on top of towers are so annoying
Totally
is it bad that i troll campers on my team
i knock them off towers with my pondhawk
Cultivate Camper Trolling
how is sitting on top of a tower sniping the whole round fun though fr
They must like the ambience. I like following big vehicles like tanks cause what are they do shoot me down.
With my pondhawk
i troll enemy railgun tanks with pondhawk
cuz the gun cant move when its charging up
i hover above where their cannon cant reach lol
Drop a few c5 and watch the fireworks
I about to get on to torture myself with that Pondhawk T1 grind
why do u need t1
im a completionist but there aint no way imma get t1 on any vehicle
i got the badge for t1 on any vehicle on steam but i never actually did that
I got that condor T1 and MAN was it a releif
condor is cool vehiclr
idk how yall do that stuff it was a big deal for me to get all the guns and vehicles and gadgets
and now it feels complete
Just got to remind yourself “even if you die you’re one step closer to your end goal”
Thats what’s getting me through this Pondhawk T1
Or any T1
getting all the weapons and loadout stuff and vehicles was my goal but now its over
so im just gonna have fun now lol
and finish the battle pass since i have premium
This battle pass is awesome
fr
i bought premium on accident and i dont really regret it anymore
or the wrong premium idk
i bought the 20 dollar one instead of the normal one
I really wish that had a whole outfit for Dozer and not just the Headgear.
I mained her up until I got her T1 now I’m a Dozer man
dozer is so annoying
But fun
the only reason i use the grenade launcher is because of dozer
The blast resistance its a blessing
on the new map the views are amazing
smoke grenades everywhere
sundance basically has infinite grenades
is ultimate bp worth
Yup
i hate dozers sheild
its so annoying to counter
you gotta stop what you are doing to pull out a grenade launcher that alot of people dont have
using sundance is so nice cuz you already get a grenade
so you can use the throwing knives as your throwable
anyone seen bf 2042 on sale for just 7 euros ? crazy haha
and throwing knives are fun
I mayhaps have t1ed the throwing knives 
Just for the badge
the throwing knives are so funny
for my gadget i gotta use grenade launcher to counter dozer and also cuz its funny when it sticks on people and they cant do anything about it
and they know they are about to blow up
Save your gadget
Just zig zag behind and use your melee
they should add a special 256 player gamemode just for redacted
i wanna see something popular for conquest with 128
i just keep seeing rush for EU 24/7
im coping rn
next thing you know, "REDACTED 128 CONQUEST 24/7, NO SHOTGUNS, 1300 TICKETS"
That sounds absurd. I'm in lol
Whar secondary should I be using
a secondary
Wait really
how do i get my 20 tier skips do i need to restart game
yes
am I the only one annoyed by the constantly folding back bipod?
why isn't it folded down (open?) by default?
because game is bad
How do y'all attack the second objective on Redacted breakthrough
To me it's like - stupidly defense biased
objective D?
No, B
that one has quite unfair defence spots.
Exactly
Keep throwing EMPs and use M5/RPG
I don't really play BT.
They likely have Irish's APs
and Redacted is also not my type of map.
:(
Well, the issue is just the sheer amount of gunfire being thrown at what is essentially 3 choke points that you have to cross
Sometimes it seems like the best strategy is to smoke it out, run through, and try not to die
Zain kills everything else
exactly
Hmmm
Zain is free kills
literally easiest gadget to use in the game and tremendously effective
and emp nade will fuck all gadgets they have set up
Fortunately assault and emp isn't possible together.
it isnt?!
Nope
thats... interesting
If that's the case I would run EMP on Dozer
No. Assault has no direct access to emp you need someone else to throw them.
And SPH
like it was at launch
Does anyone end up shooting the cardboard soldiers at all by the way?
By complete accident.
yes
Which is sad
I shot one once
How is it sad its good KEK.
