[robust vapor]

d0k been drinking coffee before gaming

[bright canopy]

you can probably still pull it off with just revives and resupplies alone, at least on Redacted

[dusk falcon]

so be a mass murder medic

[patent prism]

Blasco with T-UGS is a recipe for success.

[bright canopy]

saw some dude basically only revive people for 30 minutes and get 110 revives

he's like

rank 50 already

[dusk falcon]

so ressing a lot is the way to go

ill try that

g428 here i come

[robust vapor]

Ngl time to ^^^ my overall hs%

[bright canopy]

VHX recoil is funny

you get headshots without trying

[robust vapor]

like RM68 fr

[bright canopy]

Wish my KPM was higher, these big ass maps sometimes don't give you an opportunity to kill people for a while

[patent prism]

Allegedly my HS% is 32.4% which I just discovered today and since I haven't been deliberately aiming for heads, it seems like I aim chronically too high (most likely) or just can't manage recoil enough because I always aim for center mass.

[vocal tusk]

Mine

[robust vapor]

pog

[frozen loom]

[patent prism]

I would post my stats but I don't have image perms so you'll have to make do with my IGN: Sierra_SE

[ebon pilot]

#stats message

just link to stats

[bright canopy]

"There was an error with an external Battlefield service: Dice API serivces are are having issues."

welp

[patent prism]

Oh yeah, forgot that is a channel that exists.

[final lintel]

Run on 4 hrs of sleep, repeat for 10 years

[dusk falcon]

oh youve gotta be kidding me

as soon as im trying the method

[ebon pilot]

Run on 10 hours of sleep, repeat for 4 years instead

[pine roost]

Another day, another error

[final lintel]

Never, I ain’t at 100k career kills yet

[pine roost]

I hope it actually works when I get back home since I’m looking forward to more redacted

[bright canopy]

stats bot works though

#stats message

[final lintel]

Solid

[final lintel]

#stats message

[vocal tusk]

Nice

[bright canopy]

Nice

2kpm chad

[half zealot]

anyone having issue?
ea anticheat has an issue, please restart your PC (13)

[bright canopy]

turn off your cheats

[vocal tusk]

I play only conquest, so I'd guess my kills are lower for my playtime 😆

[bright canopy]

I have over 2KPM on the actual non-support characters, was just forced to play Falck for 380 hours of playtime because selfish friends who never played Medic

so I stopped playing with them recently because one might want to play something else sometimes

Falcking is an ungrateful job

[final lintel]

I was really shit for like my first 100 hours of play so that’s heavily weighed down my stats and it pisses my off everyday I look at them

[bright canopy]

oh yeah i was like that with BF1

yogurts lmao

[tacit sphinx]

how often do you eat yogurt

[patent prism]

oh okay, i was so confused with the yogurt

[final lintel]

Autocorrect is wildin out damn

Yogurts is crazy

[dire salmon]

Yogurt

[final lintel]

Hours and yogurts, mm hmm

[still vault]

Forced to play new map, so doing it BINGO style, gotta get that board filled.

[pine roost]

Goodness

[final lintel]

Let’s goooooo

[patent prism]

An acquaintance that I play with somewhat often today finally got the joke contained in my player card. I use the tag "TRACELESS" because I use subsonic ammo which doesn't have tracers.

[final lintel]

Lol

[patent prism]

He was amused.

[final lintel]

Do you use subsonic ironically or unironicaly

[patent prism]

Unironically, I love running subsonic and suppressors.

[final lintel]

Interesting

[patent prism]

Yeah, I just enjoy the visible confusion when you hit an enemy sometimes.

Because there's no muzzle flash and no tracer.

[final lintel]

I play like a over aggressive stealthy ape i would say

[patent prism]

Honestly, I like to describe my playstyle as "an overambitious reconnaissance oriented assaulter"

[final lintel]

Lol. Honestly why I was so bad at the start, but now it works very well

[patent prism]

Yeah, I had a tough time starting out as well because I came straight from like 6000-7000 hours of Arma 3

[final lintel]

I wish they had like a last 20 games stat thing I could see. Make myself feel better

[final lintel]

Destiny 2 does not translate well

[patent prism]

No music? I'm disappointed, D0k.

[patent prism]

Arma certainly doesn't either lmao

[robust vapor]

a bit too tired for edits

[bright canopy]

i mean i mostly played Skyrim before picking up BF

[remote kiln]

there's a 14 and 30 day tracker on bfstats

[patent prism]

Flu still bothering you?

[robust vapor]

almost fully recovered

[patent prism]

Nice

🥂 here's to a rapid final recovery

[robust vapor]

[final lintel]

It don’t show like kills per game, kd, kills total. Like the bf2042 stats tracker in this discord, but for the last 20 ish games

[remote kiln]

the only thing it doesn't show is kills per game

kd and kills total is tracked per day

[final lintel]

Lol nice, I tend to get at least like 15-20 kills in that tunnel alone

[patent prism]

It seems battlefieldtracker is a little behind on some stats though because my rank is S070-something which I only remember because I remarked quietly to myself when I made it to S069 "haha funni number"

[tacit sphinx]

yeah it’s not great

[final lintel]

Whenever i tier 1 a gun and it shows I’m still like 40 kills behind like huh

[patent prism]

Anyways, in the words of a Swedish UN peacekeeper in the Balkans 1992; I will now tear open heaven and earth, out.

(aka, i'mma go play something)

[final lintel]

Have fun

[gloomy garnet]

yo i need gunner for heli boys

anyone down?

[ruby citrus]

god is it just me or is the mp9 just so bad ttk wise, the pbx demolishes it in hipfire and the ac9 beats it in the bullet-hosing

[remote kiln]

#lfg-crossplay

[bright canopy]

MP9 is bad, yes

[remote kiln]

it's ok up close has a extremely fast ROF, but has a wider hipfire range than the pbx

[bright canopy]

used to be very good but got hit with an extreme nerf

[ruby citrus]

its battle pass skin is so cool too, such a shame

[bright canopy]

SMGs in general are eeeeh

[ruby citrus]

i run wrapped suppressor on the pbx just to complete the look

[remote kiln]

don't use suppressors they suck

until they get changed its a straight downgrade

[ruby citrus]

ik but the flood gauge skin has like a special wrapped suppressor that looks cool

[copper ice]

it's not like there's anything else to run on it, it doesn't have short barrel

[remote kiln]

shiny things these days

[ruby citrus]

don't have image perms

but it looks nice

and yeah its not like theres much better to run, you're hipfiring with the thing most of the time anyway

[bright canopy]

tactical comp

[remote kiln]

I seen someone else say they were using it because of the skin so.. yeah I mean you do you

[final lintel]

The pp goes hard come on

[bright canopy]

I refuse to play with the PP-29

[final lintel]

Why, pp time?

[bright canopy]

too good

[ruby citrus]

ngl everyone is going like omg the bizon is so good but honestly its recoil is so bad

[final lintel]

Naw recoil is very manageable

[ruby citrus]

compared to the other smgs*

[bright canopy]

its a pocket LMG

[ruby citrus]

i find the ac9, mp9 and the pbx a lot easier to manage

[drowsy shuttle]

BF 2042 and recoil is like water and olive oil. Don't mix

[final lintel]

I find it’s the 2nd easiest behind box

Pbx

[ruby citrus]

ac9 and mp9 just have a shit ton of bloom so they appear less accurate

[remote kiln]

semi burst and it shreds pretty easy to control tbh

[gray comet]

Suppressor look and sound makes up for it

[copper ice]

pp29 has an assault rifle damage model

[remote kiln]

has insane range too for an smg

[gray comet]

For no reason

[copper ice]

fast reloads big mag and smg hipfire

its a weird gun

[ruby citrus]

tbf the am40 is basically a better smg than most smgs anyway cuz you get the smg package but with the ar headshot multiplier

[copper ice]

this is also true

and am40 has a blindingly fast reload on top

[ruby citrus]

once i got standard issue ammo that thing was zooming holy

its high power reload takes forever though jesus

also, im assuming rm68 got nerfed into the ground since i havent played in a hot minute and it feels... off

[remote kiln]

it did

[ruby citrus]

isnt the literal 0 recoil laser beam it once was

[bright canopy]

its not the best gun in the game, its still very good

[remote kiln]

spread changes hit the rm hard compared to its release state

[final lintel]

Good, that stuff was aids incarnate

[ruby citrus]

i agree

making a gun broken for fomo is a thing i really disliked in general

[mental delta]

[near silo]

Curiosity, why are people saying shotgun is broken? It hits hard at close range. Should be one shot at 20 meters.

[ruby citrus]

oh huh, the battle pass has a 20% season xp increase built in, this wasnt a thing before, right? I usually bought it once i secured 1000 coins but now im wondering if i just grab it early

[still vault]

Everything they don't like, is broken 😄

[bright canopy]

its more balanced than the 12M Auto

god that fucking gun

[near silo]

It’s a shotgun

[ruby citrus]

shotguns are fine, but i have been wondering if the mcs880 got buffed or something since im seeing it a lot more than i remember

[bright canopy]

it did

[final lintel]

Got a good buff. Yeah

[bright canopy]

and 12M got nerfed slightly

[drowsy shuttle]

So MCS went from one of the worst (if not the worst according to some people) weapons in the game to OP/broken?

[mental delta]

I think MCS-880 is balanced now, it actually feels like a real shotgun and not some wet gun

[final lintel]

True

[bright canopy]

MCS was kind of a peashooter before

hitmarker machine

[remote kiln]

they sucked before and the buffs this season made them very overtuned

they are borderline if not overpowered

[final lintel]

I didn’t tier 1 it cause it was so ass, but now I might try it again

[near silo]

I don’t think it was buffed as much as some say. It’s because their using it close quarters now.

[remote kiln]

except the nvk it sucks ass and always will

[final lintel]

What? The Nav slaps so hard

Nvk god damn autocorrect

[bright canopy]

MCS oneshots up to 20m easily now

its generally much more useful on most maps

[final lintel]

Pog

[near silo]

As it should

[ruby citrus]

redacted is a close range meat grinder so shotguns get a bit of a spotlight there, and a lot of people are playing redacted due to weeklies and new map

[still vault]

BINGO

[remote kiln]

NVK reload is 7 seconds once you down a magazine it becomes more useless than melee

[final lintel]

Congrats gamer

[mental delta]

https://tenor.com/view/steve-carell-office-exactly-bingo-gif-13025505

[near silo]

I ain’t playing shit until Conquest 64 is back

[remote kiln]

you are forced to full reload too without weapon switching it's terrible

[robust vapor]

yeah I can vouch for Deco

most painful shotgun to use

[final lintel]

What nvk you running, never had a reload issue when I tier 1d it

[remote kiln]

no they were silent buffed this was confirmed by DICE, it was not mentioned in the patch notes

it's not due to placebo

[copper ice]

nvk has more of a place now that 12m got nerfed but that reload is fucking dogshit

[robust vapor]

DP12 issues

[copper ice]

mcs buff is solid, its 20 damage a pellet up to 20m and tightened spread

[final lintel]

Rip

[copper ice]

only needs 5 pellets to hit you for a kill

[remote kiln]

it's so sad lmao

[copper ice]

but on the other hand they fucking DESTROYED mcs slugs

[near silo]

I remember BF4 m880 with a 6x scope

[copper ice]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/808062739149881394/1162901163176382484/wtf.mp4

[final lintel]

I apologize, I got my 3 letter guns mixed up, thought you meant the ar, not the shotty

[remote kiln]

ye np

[final lintel]

I was like no way the new ar is ass, it rocks hard

[copper ice]

they removed headshot multiplier from slug rounds

[still vault]

Have not tried it this season actually

[copper ice]

so they're literally useless

[final lintel]

That’s dumb af

[north path]

Ok chatroom

[remote kiln]

the vhx is too accurate it needs to have increased recoil or its headshot multiplier nerfed

[north path]

bombshell of a question

[remote kiln]

being able to 2x damage at any range is insane

[final lintel]

Yeah, it’s a little too good for long range

[near silo]

New AR is meh

[copper ice]

they accidentally removed headshot multiplier on other slug rounds, instead of adding it back they REMOVED it from mcs

[north path]

if I was looking to play a modern BF right now, what game should I go to

[ruby citrus]

omg they nerfed explosive spam thank christ

[final lintel]

Lol

[ruby citrus]

zain halved ammo, grenade launcher halved ammo

[copper ice]

total fuckup by devs

[still vault]

#battlefield-legacy-titles

[ruby citrus]

is grenade ammo kit spamming nerfed too?

[remote kiln]

5 is filled with hackers so you can't play that, it's only really 2042

[north path]

and how is it rn

[remote kiln]

yes, the reloads were changed to a global counter so you can only reload once every 10 seconds for ammunition and explosive (per)

[ruby citrus]

praise the lord

[north path]

a little to inactive rn so I figured I'd ask here

[copper ice]

i wish they'd go one patch without cocking up something

[ruby citrus]

breakthrough was a mess and I can't say i haven't abused the loadout myself

zain sph frags

easiest 40+ kills per game every game

[remote kiln]

https://youtu.be/TEoRxFHrae8?si=RlNAtFqLKggNGwoE

[final lintel]

Only 40 with that load out, gotta crank out more man

[remote kiln]

BT redacted is gone not coming back

[ruby citrus]

and what happened to 128 conquest lmao

[remote kiln]

it got cycled out for control

[final lintel]

Very sad days

[remote kiln]

it'll be back eventually

[ruby citrus]

never seen 128 conquest get cycled, curious

[tacit sphinx]

the 24/7 playlist is out of rotation

that’s it

lol

[remote kiln]

no it's actually retired

oh

yeah I mean 128

[near silo]

Conquest 64 please, my old eyes can’t handle 128

[ruby citrus]

i wish battlefield v had less of a cheater problem its a really fun game thats ruined by one person deciding they're gonna script

[remote kiln]

BT redacted wasn't available in 64 player format for the playlist

[signal forge]

So dumb

[remote kiln]

unless you cycled the regular anyways

[signal forge]

64p Conq Redacted is boring as fuck

[ruby citrus]

64 conquest is great specifically cuz you get to play the older maps and my processor thanks me

[near silo]

so boring

[calm bison]

Guys I have some sad news

Sledgehammer Games’ logo is not a Sledgehammer

[north path]

even though it's an ad, his other vids seem to have a positive opinion of it

[remote kiln]

no BT redacted was ass literally unplayable it was either scrap it or remake the gamemode for the map

[ruby citrus]

honestly im disliking redacted as a map already, its just operation metro with a fresh coat of paint

[pine roost]

Well yeah

[calm bison]

If only there were some vehicle centric maps you could play

[near silo]

It’s fun if you want to level up guns

[pine roost]

That’s the point

[signal forge]

Lmao what?

[ruby citrus]

yeah, fair, i just did enough for the 10 pointer weekly challenge and bailed

[pine roost]

But if you don’t like that metro experience, fair enough

[calm bison]

TBH I enjoy maps like Redacted when they’re done well

[remote kiln]

did you play 128 bt redacted? you couldn't get through the second objective because the staircases were the only way to proceed

[calm bison]

Argonne Forest, FDV, Underground, and Redacted do the formula metro invented much better

[near silo]

Just remember SMOKE puts out FIRE

[signal forge]

And this is apparently unfun? Lmao have you ever Metro'd bro?

[ruby citrus]

oh god they didnt even give you like at least 2 to 3 hallways to die into, only one?

[final lintel]

Naw, you just smoke and Mackey through, easy solution worked every time

[calm bison]

The problem with BT redacted is that they closed the flank tunnels so

You’re shit out of luck

[remote kiln]

metro was much better than that lmao you were not confined to 2 hallways at least you had multiple points of entry

it was INFINITELY better

[final lintel]

That’s my only issue too yeah, no flanking

[ruby citrus]

i mean the flank tunnels will have 5 barrels of a gun staring down them at all times anyway

esp on 128

[remote kiln]

nope dumbass decision the ziplines are sealed off so you are forced to get up the left flank and right flank of the a objective and that's it

just a horrible horrible gamemode

[ruby citrus]

now i get why it got removed

[calm bison]

Conquest Supremacy

[ruby citrus]

ive had a lot of fun with 64 conquest throwing me into old bf3 maps and stuff

i wish siege of shanghai was in 2042

[junior galleon]

yeah B had the side hallway and the two different escalator sets

[final lintel]

Breakthrough gets me my 100+ kill games, so I stick to it

Didn’t mean to reply sorry

[calm bison]

If they do it like Reclaimed where it’s different but in the same vein I’d be down

[remote kiln]

I have no idea who saw the layout and went let's seal off the ziplines which are critical to avoiding these exact situations it was literally designed to seal off progression

[signal forge]

Same, only played BT since launch

[calm bison]

Here’s what I say

[signal forge]

The removal of 128 BT was the worst decision DICE ever made

[calm bison]

Season 7 Wishlist that no one asked for:
1-2 new maps please
1 new map for each portal chapter
-Market Garden
-Port Valdez
-Strike at Karkand

[final lintel]

I played conquest for the first 100 hoursf( another reason the stats be so bad right now) but after that it’s bt til I die

[remote kiln]

128 players was a stupid decision and it should never have been added to the game to begin with

better late than never

[ruby citrus]

i just want all the destruction goodness the map had, collapsing roads by blowing out pillars in tunnels, the building collapse

[calm bison]

I agree that destruction needs to come back, at least in a bigger way

[remote kiln]

least they're seeing sense and moving away

[signal forge]

No it was fun as fuck what are you even talking about

[calm bison]

2042 has destruction but it’s so minuscule you wouldn’t notice it unless you were looking for it

[left vapor]

how long till 64v64 is back?

[calm bison]

2 weeks it seems

[final lintel]

Destruction too good, so they though ah yeah less fun = better. Sadge

[left vapor]

bruh

[ruby citrus]

128 players is both good and bad, the map design is my biggest issue overall, they're too large and too open, little cover and little to no destruction

[calm bison]

No jets on Discarded 64

[final lintel]

Less vehicles the better

[junior galleon]

battlefield has never handled destruction very well imho

[remote kiln]

1: it never operated stable it was always a laggy incoherent mess
2: we got shitty server tick rates because of it in this game and 60hz isn't available
3: you can't balance maps around being able to be shot from 360 degrees
it was a stupid ill conceived decision designed to get players riled up for something that could never work

[mental delta]

You should try, definitely better now

[ruby citrus]

ngl ive never been scared of vehicles more than i am scared of battlefield V tanks

[calm bison]

When was the last time you had a problem with jets in this game?

[ruby citrus]

they're a MENACE

[calm bison]

YES

[remote kiln]

let that garbage never return

[calm bison]

BFV tanks are actually terrifying

[ruby citrus]

+1 glancing blow

[signal forge]

Never had issues, had a lot of fun, got a ton of XP. It's obvious why they removed it lol

[final lintel]

Oh no I don’t mean jets specifically, but vehicles run rampant and it’s annoying

[calm bison]

I often find myself playing solo so I never have a dedicated AT squad so playing maps like Provence and Rotterdam

Rounding a corner

And boom

Tiger

Shit your pants material

[remote kiln]

yeah it's obvious why because it never worked since the game came out lmao

we got ass maps ass design

because players seen bigger number and went ohh

[signal forge]

The XP rates were dispraoprtionaely much better in BT than you could ever get in Conquest and DICE didn't like people stop playing after quickly finishing the weeklies and the whole BP

[ruby citrus]

also how the fuck do you even aim the PIAT, that thing feels like it has the falloff of a shotgun, and panzerfaust only dealt like 27 damage per hit

[final lintel]

Never had any of those issues so cannot relate to your problems

[junior galleon]

id shit my pants in any bf game if i was alone and a tank appeared tho

[calm bison]

Fair

[remote kiln]

was always a stupid marketing gimmick from the very beginning and it was never going to work thank god it's getting retired

least this DICE see sense

[calm bison]

But BFV tanks are at a power level where they do have a scare factor

[ruby citrus]

honestly idk im scared a lot less of tanks in 2042, hell even in 1 tanks werent as horrifying, but V? it's like i'm ellen ripley and the tank is the alien

[calm bison]

What compounds this is you still feel that fear even if you’re in a tank

[remote kiln]

people literally complaining about dying behind walls constantly and then keep saying they want 128

[calm bison]

(This generally applies to the allied tanks)

[remote kiln]

pick your poison

[stone cradle]

Anyone else getting a bug with Falck's stim pistol?

[ruby citrus]

128 works with a big enough map, 128 breakthrough crams people so much it doesn't work

[calm bison]

I could be in a sherman or Churchill and rounding the corner to see a tank like a tiger or STuG is plenty frightening

[stone cradle]

I can't heal with it

[ruby citrus]

my take on it at least

[ruby citrus]

you shooting the floor to heal yourself?

[stone cradle]

Yes

[remote kiln]

and when the maps get shrunk in half it becomes basically unsustainable

[calm bison]

There are a few exceptions where 128 player maps work, namely Breakaway and Orbital

[junior galleon]

idk about 2042 tanks but the spastic ass bf3 and bf4 tank drivers give me anxiety

[stone cradle]

When the bug happened I tried the traditional self heal option too

[ruby citrus]

yeah it feels like sometimes the sticky heals phase out of existence half the time

[calm bison]

The map has a flow that siphons players into different areas and this leads to a more digestible experience

[stone cradle]

Didn't work

Happened to me 3 times in a match

[ruby citrus]

the hold button heal worked for me every time

[calm bison]

Whereas if it’s Hourglass or Renewal so many players are funneled into one spot and it can be overwhelming

[ruby citrus]

but sometimes i found myself spamming the ground and it didnt heal me

[remote kiln]

fun fact you can heal yourself with the throwable pouches

[stone cradle]

pistol > pouches

[ruby citrus]

so they basically function identically to bfv

[remote kiln]

yes

[calm bison]

Run ammo on Falck and heals on Angel

[junior galleon]

people didnt know that? its been like that in every game

[stone cradle]

Another 'legacy feature'

[remote kiln]

ones specifically from this season as in, ye people still don't realise they think it's just being able to throw to teammates

[final lintel]

Can’t wait to run Mackey new dmr with ammo pounches. Gonna be way to much fun

[ruby citrus]

the pouches may end up being more useful with the ammo kit nerfs

[remote kiln]

tbf it's not immediately obvious unless you played 5

[stone cradle]

I only have 1 mission left but constant redacted tires me . It's the "play a match of redacted 6 times"

[remote kiln]

they can sorta? be more useful, I'd still takes crates over them both but eh

[ebon pilot]

mackay doesn't get ammo pouches

[final lintel]

He don’t?

[ebon pilot]

it's a support gadget

[remote kiln]

no it's support only

[final lintel]

That’s depressing

[ruby citrus]

yeah im just gonna skip that, i honestly dont enjoy meat grinder maps, even if i manage to top 3 the scoreboard every time

[calm bison]

The class system

[final lintel]

Well, back to ars I guess

[calm bison]

Isn’t it wonderful

[final lintel]

Yeah

[calm bison]

Also

[reef cedar]

how do you guys feel about the new pouches

[remote kiln]

they're fine

[final lintel]

I love runni my out of ammo in 1 minute if the gun isn’t an assault rifle on assault classes

[stone cradle]

Least oblivious camper

[calm bison]

Remove C5 from Mackay and Sundance

[remote kiln]

not broken or overpowered fine for use

[calm bison]

If you can block RPGs from Lis you can block C5 from both of them

Sundance and Mackay both have abilities that give them tyrannical levels of maneuverability over tanks

[reef cedar]

make sentinels shoot down c5

[remote kiln]

I hate you players using Casper drones on this map cause everybody just goes let's totally ignore it

[stone cradle]

Easy 100 spots in like 5min

[final lintel]

That’s the first time I saw the pov of a Casper drone

Neat

[stone cradle]

I wasn't even flying that high so many times. People are truly blind

[half zealot]

anyone having issue?
ea anticheat has an issue, please restart your PC (13)

[remote kiln]

it's so sad even if they see it they literally don't care

[stone cradle]

I tried to destroy them whenever I saw them and kept on pinging them to my teammates

They ignored them

[ebon pilot]

they did at one point but it was busted because then nobody could touch vehicles. like "oh I took this massive risk that puts me super out of position behind the enemy but because this guy pressed G i can't do anything"

[junior galleon]

edgelord ass tweet

[final lintel]

Cringe tweets, sad to see

[reef cedar]

i suppose that is true, yeah

i revoke my statement

[remote kiln]

tough crowd today eh

[ebon pilot]

when the twitter account posts a quote from their gameplay trailer
"cringe"

[ruby citrus]

is there somewhere i can check all the bp progression changes?

Yeah, the virus type font is dumb af

[midnight mesa]

they used that font when they initially teased 2042, its fine

[final lintel]

She shall awaken, we are doomed once again

[sullen quarry]

And how has she frozen

[stone cradle]

I want a mode where its 16 regular nopats vs 8 enhanced nopats with special abilities or something

[junior galleon]

carbonite

[midnight mesa]

i think dannyonpc made a video about a leak regarding the halloween mode

[sullen quarry]

If she was frozen from the previous Christmas, then she would've thawed by summer

[stone cradle]

I'll check it out

[sullen quarry]

Or even earlier

[ruby citrus]

tyy

damn i was hoping since week 1 was 3 and week 2 was 5

that week 3 will be 7

too good to be true ig

to be fair with the fact its 16 weeks you should be able to max it out with just a few hours per week assuming you actl do most of the challenges

[royal swan]

They are not increasing the points after this

They are decreasing them to 4

The 5 is to regain lost points from week 1

[remote kiln]

^

it's fine overall tbh just need to extend out the game

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah if you want to get the G428 on your hands early, go to the store, buy Boins and then spend them on BP tiers.

[ruby citrus]

so wait lemme do the math real quick
9 challenges that are 4 dots each + weekly 10 pointer = 4.6 levels per week
14 weeks, thats 64.4 levels from challenges

[royal swan]

I may get them next week

[remote kiln]

XP changes were a bit too extreme should have been 4.5k

[junior galleon]

boins LOL

[royal swan]

The new marksman

[remote kiln]

roughly about there

[royal swan]

I think it should stay 6500 permanently

No increase in xp

6500 all the way through

[drowsy shuttle]

yes you cheap basterds, buy boins and buy the BP tiers

just do it!

[final lintel]

But I’m a poor Asian man, no doctorate

[ruby citrus]

boins still sounds better than cod shortening their currency name to cp

[royal swan]

100%

[remote kiln]

COD is a shell of its former self now they literally don't care

pay to win items are there and endorsed just sad really

[still vault]

New map grind is real. Almost 1500 points

[stone cradle]

Would be cool if we got weekend exclusive bonus quests

[royal swan]

Can't wait for Bobby to leave

[final lintel]

True, but still the new games will have crazy high player counts for no reason

[final lintel]

Solid work soldier

[ruby citrus]

lost all my respect when they promised mw2 was gonna be a 2 year thing only for them to drop mw3 a year after anyway

woohoo 70 bucks for a movement dlc

[stone cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/neebs-gaming-hank-and-jed-neebs-animation-woohoo-gif-15640259

[remote kiln]

when you casualise a franchise these "issues" don't become problems for that type of crowd, fundamentally different tiers of players

[final lintel]

I hate this timeline we live in

[ruby citrus]

the thing i always liked about battlefield games was that you can wait like 6mo and snatch them at an 80% discount, most cods dont dare go below 40 bucks

[stone cradle]

I once said I loved cp(cyberpunk) in a gaming server and I got banned forever until I appealed and told them I meant 2077

[vocal tusk]

Then you remember is MS who replace them...and look how they butchered Halo

[remote kiln]

lol the copium that people are on now saying they are definitely going to add content to DMZ is funny

[royal swan]

To be honest 343 killed halo

[final lintel]

Muh fukin bo2 still 60 god damn dollars

[ruby citrus]

"guys don't worry this is the year cod comes back!!1!" as if they aren't saying that since cod ghosts

[final lintel]

God damn wrong reply I’m gonna toaster bath on god

[stone cradle]

Isn't Dmz still in beta?

I only played it for like 3 weeks and stopped because of the content

[ruby citrus]

i wish xdefiant succeeds just so cod gets a direct competitor

[royal swan]

Besides what can philly do worse than fucking bobby

[stone cradle]

XDefiant is very fun, it has potential

I'm guessing they delayed it so it doesn't get annihilated by cod on launch. Delay to spring when everyone is burnt out on mw3

[remote kiln]

nothing like aimbot aim assist and the strictest SBMM in history

[ruby citrus]

they saw what happened to titanfall 2 when it got crammed between two AAA releases

[remote kiln]

just egregious the playerbase don't care at this point anyways

[stone cradle]

I've seen so many youtubers on my recommended page who say MW3 will save cod like sledgehammer cares about the community so much or something

They have to paid surely

[ruby citrus]

imagine locking your release date only to be stuck between battlefield 1 and cod iw

[stone cradle]

Or they just lie because they need the games they play to actually be alive

[remote kiln]

the official line is they found some issues but yeah the massive mammoth in the room of MW3's release is obviously the main factor

[violet elbow]

Can you unlock attachments in solo conquest?

[remote kiln]

yes

[ruby citrus]

yeah its the easiest way to grind out attachments

[violet elbow]

So grind solo conquest for attachments 😂

[remote kiln]

it's possible if really boring

[royal swan]

I prefer bt coop

The bots are more clustered

[ruby citrus]

they fixed some issues like slide cancel delay and player visibility and everyone is treating them like they're jesus christ incarnate

[remote kiln]

only reason they even allowed it was because of they promised it at release hopefully doesn't return for the next game

[stone cradle]

Feels like 90% of the player base left are ultra casual gamers

[ruby citrus]

bt coop ends too fast imo esp if you're on attack, conquest is less kills/min on the other hand

[royal swan]

Play exposure bt

[stone cradle]

Cod can be more broken than BF4 was on launch and it will still be best selling of all time because the general casual audience buys it in droves. I seriously envy that brand loyalty, seriously

[royal swan]

The map is so rigged in defending that you have plenty of time to get many kills

[junior galleon]

they shouldve named it Battlefield Dollars so its abbreviated to B$

[remote kiln]

yeah they are, this was a tournament where it was forced to be switched off

[royal swan]

Hell you can get all ribbons in coop bt exposure

[chilly jacinth]

it would be even worse these days

if AA was off

[final lintel]

True, as an ultra hardcore casual, we thrivin

[remote kiln]

literally

[oblique crater]

Yo is the 128 player conquest for ps5 gone? can't find it after a week of playing it

[remote kiln]

yes it's been rotated out for control

it'll be back eventually

[quiet shell]

Hm. Has anyone seen or heard anything about a speed exploit on redacted thats getting people to the 3rd objective faster than the other team?

[sullen quarry]

Hello

[junior galleon]

cod has been cancer for a decade so

[stone cradle]

Atleast EA now actually have a damn good chance to make a comeback.

[remote kiln]

not seen anything mentioned, the map layout though is shorter for one than the other if that's what you're referring

so the US side will get to the flag faster

[maiden portal]

Nah but I’ve seen people shooting people through walls lmao

[royal swan]

Until they are bought by Disney

I hate to think about that

[ruby citrus]

wait what

[final lintel]

Everything becomes Disney, it’s fate

[stone cradle]

I hope that was a mere rumour

[junior galleon]

im tired of comebacks

[mental delta]

We ArE ReBOrN

[stone cradle]

And they never thought of it seriously

[ruby citrus]

nah inb4 microsoft activision blizzard king bethesda ea

[junior galleon]

they probably did

[mental delta]

They won't be bought by Disney lol

[royal swan]

The idea is floating around

[stone cradle]

They killed their internal studios and were shocked when they failed in the gaming market

[royal swan]

And you know Disney

[ruby citrus]

granted it would be fucking hilarious if both IW and DICE were technically under the same house

[remote kiln]

yes it was just a rumour, Disney are wanting to enter the gaming industry, but they are "non committal" to a potential acquisition of EA, their own words

[ruby citrus]

omg mickey mouse collab skin

[final lintel]

Those are all garbage studios still dude

[stone cradle]

IW can make a BF and DICE can make a cod then

[mental delta]

I think it was a rumor which appeared approximately 1 year ago a few months after BF2042 terrible release, but Disney are already busy wasting their time trying to make their own editor

[ruby citrus]

was just making a joke that they add all the company names together whenever they buy them

[remote kiln]

EA shot down rumours of a acquisition last year it's extremely unlikely it would ever be allowed

[junior galleon]

none of the mentioned groups are dev groups, theyre all publishers

[remote kiln]

it's not really in their interests to either

[ruby citrus]

isnt bethesda technically a developer too?

[final lintel]

It’s still sad to see nonetheless

[stone cradle]

Bethesda game studios, yeah

[remote kiln]

Bethesda is a publisher and developer yes

[final lintel]

I thought I lost my mind when he said that lol

[remote kiln]

though that's because it's, it's own entity

[junior galleon]

they have a bethesda development division yeah but the main conglomerate is a publisher

[ruby citrus]

fair

[royal swan]

Damn I forgot obsidian existed

[junior galleon]

who

[ruby citrus]

after the disaster that was the outer worlds everyone did

[stone cradle]

Didn't the CEO of EA say he was totally fine with COD being exclusive to Xbox because it meant they can push BF more then

[ruby citrus]

they will never make cod xbox exclusive there's too much money in the ps market tbh

[mental delta]

The fucking idiot didn't say that, did he ? 💀

[royal swan]

No fucking way

[royal swan]

It wasn't that bad

[junior galleon]

he peobabky did lmao

[remote kiln]

no, it was because of licensing deals

[royal swan]

At least they got some rep with that game called grounded

[ruby citrus]

i sorta agree but i left the game feeling "wait, that's it?"

[remote kiln]

EA are able to publish on platforms they don't already e.g. Nintendo etc

[stone cradle]

https://www.techspot.com/news/96029-electronic-arts-ceo-thinks-call-duty-xbox-exclusivity.html

[junior galleon]

ea publishes on nintendo just not often

[mental delta]

Poor lad probably lost his mind between 2 crack&coke parties and didn't know what he was saying lol

[royal swan]

"EA boss Andrew Wilson, who says CoD exclusivity would bring more success to the company's Battlefield games."

Bruuuuuh

[stone cradle]

I mean tbf he's not wrong

[remote kiln]

yes but they need specific contracts with Nintendo, instead now, they can use XBP

which is a different equation to that

[stone cradle]

PS players who don't want to spend $500 on a new console will be pushed to get BF then

[ruby citrus]

tbh the battlefield playerbase and the cod playerbase dont overlap that hard

[remote kiln]

he was purely talking about platform choice and that was all

he's right, in that regard

[junior galleon]

bf doesnt capture the same market whatsoever

[royal swan]

Knowing how fucking petty ponies are, they fucking might get bf instead

[junior galleon]

to actually capitalize on that bf would have to make some changes

[mental delta]

Lol no, BF currently is so unattractive that even without competitor, players would still not play it

[junior galleon]

also this

[remote kiln]

being platform agnostic and completely cross-platform with Battlefield, I think is a tremendous opportunity

being able to access the mobile market now is a big deal

[royal swan]

I heard the idea of making the multiplayer of bf free and put the price tag on the campaign

[vapid lily]

which mode is most popular?

[royal swan]

But we know how that went with that one title

[stable sail]

Guess no BF2042 for the next week.... CQ128 not being featured? lol

[remote kiln]

it has been rotated out with control

it'll be back eventually

[stable sail]

Rush XL is the only mode that needs to be perma'd

[remote kiln]

idk why are people are complaining they've not even tried it

[mental delta]

Funny thing is there's a mod just called conquest but it's conquest 64 and there's no server

[stable sail]

Control is actually dope

[stable sail]

Thats why I'm saying no more BF for the next week lol

It's an offweek for BF since no CQ128

New map is just metro with more tunnels

[mental delta]

I can't even find a server lol

[remote kiln]

CQ 128 is in portal anyways you can play it there

redacted CQ is the most popular servers

[stable sail]

ya well i wanna use the new vehicle and fuck around

[junior galleon]

it would have to be the opposite, bf campaigns are not very well loved

[stone cradle]

*are bad and forgettable

Except BF1's, I liked the war stories

[remote kiln]

this was Enders? i think, it's not a bad idea

[stable sail]

I never considered BF to be a story game since yknow... Starting with 1942 lol

[remote kiln]

impractical probably but not a bad one

[stable sail]

i member BF3 and BF4.... "God why did we get a story when the game is just FUCKED UP"

[junior galleon]

i always wanted older battlefield games to go f2p permanetly

[stable sail]

super trash releases with the inclusion of stories

[junior galleon]

i had a stroke reading this

[remote kiln]

idk why they just don't make HZ free to play at this point

it's a dead mode anyways

[stable sail]

cuz hz is not that fun

[stone cradle]

I wonder why they made the same mistake for the 2nd time

[remote kiln]

it's not but it's a good entry into the multiplayer

[stone cradle]

I would've thought they learnt from Firestorm

[remote kiln]

and entry is the biggest barrier

[royal swan]

I did get it from enders and I honestly thought it was decent then I remembered halo and overwatch did this and we know how that went

[remote kiln]

ehh I mean

OW, not really the same thing, that was it's own situation

blizzard incompetence is the main reason rather than it being paid with them overpromising things they couldn't make

[junior galleon]

i liked bc2 because funny and bf3 because military larping shlock

battlefield 1s were good too but damn those situations were so freaking dumb sometimes

single guy in medieval armor gets on AA and takes down 20 planes

2 guys destroy 2 zeppelins

[stone cradle]

The tank one was genuinely great

[junior galleon]

one woman blowing up an entire armored train

[stone cradle]

And the Australian one made me tear up honestly

[junior galleon]

yeah the tank and aussie ones were the best

[remote kiln]

what if we charged people in the game to resupply ammo

[patent prism]

I like war stories as a concept but I think the execution isn't always the best. My main reason though for wanting war stories rather than a single big campaign is that with multiple war stories, chances are at least some of them will be decent/good, whereas with a single major campaign it's 50/50 if it's shit or good.

[patent prism]

Sneaky sneaky, ex-Unity CEO.

[remote kiln]

you wouldn't notice it would just be a $0.20 charge here and there

[patent prism]

lmao nah thanks fam im good

[remote kiln]

walk over a ammo box and swipe

[junior galleon]

"You've run out of primary ammo! Wait 23hr 59m 55sec or spend 500 Battlefield Coins to continue."

[patent prism]

And when you die you lose all the ammo you had on you and need to refill it for a mere $9.99 USD

[empty juniper]

Did Battlefield get an update today ?

[remote kiln]

alternatively they can add the battlefield vehicle insurance policy which costs $5 per month, premiums go up the more you get your vehicle exploded

[remote kiln]

yes CQ 128 has been rotated out for control

[junior galleon]

by how much each time

[remote kiln]

heavy vehicles its $2/time light $0.20

[empty juniper]

What about battle pass progression did they fix today ? @remote kiln

[remote kiln]

the mission XP changes are in today yes

[empty juniper]

Shit is hella slow fam

[patent prism]

It's a very good change that people mistake the slow BP progress for being bugged.

[junior galleon]

everytime you get revived, you have to pay for medical bills

[cunning acorn]

i straight up need to restart the game after every match, because i have a black screen.

[empty juniper]

Alright ima go in there and fuck shit up I’m out

[remote kiln]

odd question but does anyone see a causal link with the player count and a lot of people joining the server in the last few days who are new

not a insult, just a curious observation

[patent prism]

Yep

[stone cradle]

They're absolutely bringing more subscription services to gaming now

[patent prism]

Gone are the days of paying for a game, here are the days of paying for playtime

[fossil herald]

new widespread bug for a big portion of random users since the october 10th update

[remote kiln]

it's not been since season 6, has been an issue for months, much more prolific since the update, is being investigated currently

[junior galleon]

wrong, gaming itself will be a subscription service. 25 dollars a month to pay for your windows license and another 40 each month to upgrade your gpu from a 5070 to a 5080, and then 15 dollars for xbox gamepass

[fossil herald]

no fix or workaround yet unfortunately ive been trying to experiment with some fixes myself because ive been experiencing it every 1-2 matches

[vapid lily]

for xp, is gallons best?

[fossil herald]

yeah i think i remember that bug happening during open beta but even then it wasnt ever 1-2 games it was much more rare

[quiet shell]

I love how DICE went "We can't seem to balance the MCS to fit the games balance."
and went "Fuck it, copy the stats from the M870 in Battlefield 4"

[remote kiln]

yeah there's no workaround other than closing the game, just need to wait for it to be fixed

[final valve]

I am afraid that this is a new bug, playing for last few seasons and faced this only with last update. Deleting settings files/folder does not help.

[remote kiln]

unlucky

[wooden birch]

Any tips for MCS shotgun since the lobby r full of shotties ffs

skill issues

[radiant prism]

Use it

[worldly sail]

[wooden birch]

ye i meant MCS build

xD

[ebon pilot]

[radiant prism]

Anything tbh

[ebon pilot]

doesn't need build

[radiant prism]

Whatever you like best

[wooden birch]

oh rlly? kk thanks

[radiant prism]

Only difference might be which buckshot pattern you choose

[worldly sail]

and I might not put a suppressor on it too

[tacit sphinx]

yeah the suppressor is not really worth it on a shotgun

it sounds very nice though

[radiant prism]

Ok but it looks funny

[next onyx]

I don't feel the change in actual performance with the suppressor.

[tacit sphinx]

point considered

[junior galleon]

shotgun suppressors always look stupid

[tacit sphinx]

might be better now the gun itself is better but in the past when i’ve used it it felt like it made it noticeably worse

[radiant prism]

Suppressor probably only really effects the performance outside of the range one tends to use a shotgun effectively

[next onyx]

Look at this range even with it on.

[tacit sphinx]

yeah it’s probably fine to use it now tbf

[junior galleon]

noshahr in 2042 is trippy

[tacit sphinx]

there were just times that even with the inconsistency before would 9/10 have been a kill and it just reduced the damage enough or smth to not kill

[next onyx]

Fuck me I just breathed in coffee.

Honestly it's weird.

Maybe I'm not under the impression that it does anything.

Even though it does.

[junior galleon]

the coffee or the suppressor?

lol

[ebon pilot]

Pffff
Pffff
Pffff
Schlnk
Schlnk
Schlnk

[next onyx]

Suppressor.

But also don't open your mouth when dealing with coffee grounds. The fumes will get you

[ebon pilot]

i have a solution

don't drink coffee

that's my philosophy i don't know why more people don't use it

[junior galleon]

i like coffee

[next onyx]

I was making light of my own mishap kek.

[vernal widget]

can i unlock the bfb by shooting c5 with the magnum?

[next onyx]

Yeah you should!

[ebon pilot]

it's very effective

[copper ice]

GOD mcs us sexy now

[naive quiver]

MCS is an bug

[next onyx]

You saw that clip chunky?

It's fucking disgusting.

It probably has a bit too much range kek.

[naive quiver]

Disgusting that range

500m one shot

[junior galleon]

i kinda wish battlefield 3 rush was still alive

[naive quiver]

[obtuse cosmos]

good evening. my pc setup: ryzen 5 2600x, rx 580 8gb, 16gb ram. having huge perfomance issues, like 15-20 fps on lowest possible graphic settings. is that ok for battlefield 2042 and my pc is too weak for this game? i truly do not understand, because my pc is able to handle rdr2 on medium settings easily in 60 fps~

[remote kiln]

you are borderline on the minimum requirements, probably under with that 2600x actually

[naive quiver]

how old was that

[remote kiln]

zen 1.5 (ryzen 2) is equivalent to 6th gen intel in IPC, which is well, the minimum requirement processor

[obtuse cosmos]

thx i get it now i was confused x)

[small swan]

Heyo peeps

i'm new to the game and i've got some questions

[naive quiver]

go ahead

[small swan]

IDK if it's me, but tanks take too many RPG's to destroy and almost nobody gives me ammo :c

[dense steeple]

hello anyone? where did 128 player conquest go

[small swan]

or like, if i get the turret, the turret keeps shooting at me.

Or if i get a track, nothing happens, like, the track doesn't explode

[lone void]

I wonder why Rush isn't included in the same tab as BreakThrough

they're basiczlly the same mode

[naive quiver]

team mate issues

[lone void]

and BT on portal maps is actually really fun

[small swan]

but, in high lvls they do give ammo?

'cause my matchmaking is against high camper levels

idk if i can change that

[lone void]

there is no matchmaking broski

[small swan]

everybody spamming tanks and nobody uses rpg's :c

[lone void]

it just throws people into a game

[small swan]

that explains many things hahahhahah

[lone void]

how would ranks even work

in a game that lets you do almost whatever you want

[small swan]

i mean, i barely have unlocks. Like, iron sights and 2 guns.

And some operators

• no clue how to move or play c:

[next onyx]

Use the m5s3 and get short barrel. Use that to get a grasp on the game.

[tacit sphinx]

i mean you can try playing against bots to get a bit of a feel for the game, you just select co-op conquest or breakthrough in the menu + you can change some settings like bot difficulty and the map

[next onyx]

Brilliant starting gun that lasts till end game by the way.

[red zinc]

Throw grenades. At the objective. You’ll probably get a kill. Play slow while you suck- aka Don’t sprint around corners with your gun down, you need every advantage you can get. Lower your sensitivity to a point you can comfortably land every shot. Don’t worry about 3600 degree spiny shots yet. Also use cover and head glitches they’re really strong.

[small swan]

that's for weak people

[red zinc]

If you’re playing like a stoner, I reccomend actually turning the HUD off and seeing how you play.

It removes all the UI and stuff and makes you think grounded and logical

It helps in a wierd way

[arctic grove]

[midnight mesa]

redacted breakthrough is gone ):

[small swan]

stoner ? what's that

[red zinc]

Blazehead. Herbalist. Dopehead. Pothead.

A fuckin drug fiend mate

[small swan]

i mean, i know what the meaning

but, not what it relates to the game

like, i'm stoned and play ?

[red zinc]

Yes I mean if you’re playing very slow like a divvy

[small swan]

i run 24/7

[red zinc]

What?

[next onyx]

Don't think there's much reasoning to be done.

[ruby citrus]

the biggest thing ive seen people that arent familiar with battlefield have issue with is actually noticing enemies, you get used to it eventually

had a lot of friends that were super used to cod style 6v6 arena shooters so when enemies become 2 pixels wide they just get angry cuz they have no idea where they're being shot from

[red zinc]

That’s why I think turning the hud off can help

Forces you to look harder

Look for the red lights on enemies

[small swan]

i have huud tiny, the only big thing is minimap

[red zinc]

You have no minimap so you have to think about where you are going to run to and where enemies might be as a pose to staring at the map like a zombie

[ruby citrus]

also having to actually lead your shots because the bullet has its own gravity

basically every 6v6 format fps has hitscan stuff, like pure hitscan

[turbid spindle]

So i've been directed to this channel for a problem I am having on 2042. I havent played since it first released and wanted to get back into the game with a console friend but when I try to add him through EA in 2042 social tab there is no "search for EA Name" tab like all the tutorials and help links I look at. Was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this, I have a screen shot but i cant post it

[small swan]

bullets are fast so far, distances are short

except when i tried a sniper, to kill a camper

that was a sad day

[ruby citrus]

sub 100m its usually not noticable

[small swan]

i just used the guided rocket to kill them

[ruby citrus]

once you grab a sniper or a dmr it becomes important

[red zinc]

See he’s learning fast

Already got the ways of the lis down

[ruby citrus]

TV rocketing snipers

fast learner

[small swan]

i hate snipers

and i like explosions

21

2x1 *

[red zinc]

I also love using lis against the camping sniper fuckers

[small swan]

the problem is the AoE of the rocket

it sucks

[ruby citrus]

i just take a rorsch and murder them

[naive quiver]

I love sniping

[ruby citrus]

rorsch mk4 is a better sniper than the snipers

[patent prism]

I just switch up my avenue of approach when I see the scope glint.

[rare bridge]

every time i leave a game i have to restart bf2042 cuz of the black screen wtf..

[ruby citrus]

dont alt tab

it makes the game perma stuck on the black screen

if i dont alt tab it works fine usually

Even more than sniper campers though, I hate tank mains camping far away. I have a special Sundance c5 loadout for those guys

[small swan]

i saw that hahhaha

the thing is that tanks

[ruby citrus]

to be fair tanks die so fast if they get close to the action that staying far back is the only way to do any real work with them

[small swan]

are too OP

[patent prism]

I really wish there would be user-defined presets in this game to allow switching faster.

[small swan]

a tank doesn't take 5 RPg's to destroy

.-.

1 and it's kinda useless in some cases

[arctic grove]

Tanks? Op in this game?

[ruby citrus]

tanks should be a team effort to kill

also you clearly didnt play BFV

[red zinc]

I agree but it’s the same as snipers. Camping is the only way to make them work too. Doesn’t make them less annoying😂

[ruby citrus]

now THAT game has broken as shit tanks

[small swan]

i only played bf2

[patent prism]

I'm not sure about team effort, but like 3-4 people, sure.

I love me that Panzerzerstörtrupp action.

[small swan]

i dislike relying on my team

[red zinc]

God help us if it takes 3-4 to kill a tank. They’d never die

[ruby citrus]

that's what i meant, basically you shouldn't be able to easily solo a tank

[small swan]

'cause usually they suck

AT mines deal how much %%% ?

[patent prism]

One of the lads with smoke, another with Rao, another Blasco or some such.

[arctic grove]

That’s why dice originally did open loadouts till they realized balancing around this mindset breaks core gameplay

[ruby citrus]

if you wanna style on vehicles, Lis rockets oneshot jets and lighter helicopters, have fun

[small swan]

i managed to take 2 tinny little birds down

[patent prism]

Ah, no. Unfortunately all the engineers are kinda trash at being AT so I usually get pushed into anti-armor roles as recon.

[ruby citrus]

there is nothing in battlefield that gives me a bigger serotonin rush than blowing up a ttv nightbird pilot thats like 90/0

[small swan]

but the rocket manuverability (idk how to spell the word) sucks so bad

[ruby citrus]

protip, when using lis, go to control settings and crank vehicle sensitivity to a 100

[lone void]

I just got killed by someone called CTwhen

[small swan]

AA missles also insanely bad

[red zinc]

That’s me but literally for ttv tank mains on breakthrough. They go 90-0 all the time

[lone void]

that's an old Battlefront joke

I love him

[patent prism]

You mean dopamine?

[ruby citrus]

yeah that

[red zinc]

Tanks are a lot stronger in breakthrough than in conquest I think

I regularly see them go 90-0 kinda thing

[small swan]

oh that, is there a video that explains all gamemodes ?

i'm kinda lost there

i dislike the tiny maps pure infantry

they are kinda bad designed

too tiny for like 60 dudes

[ruby citrus]

breakthrough?

[patent prism]

I want to say I get the joke but I kinda am uncertain. Do you mean he had CT- and a collection of numbers behind it or?

[ruby citrus]

they're not pure infantry but primarily ig

[small swan]

ig ?

[ruby citrus]

i guess

[red zinc]

There’s only 4 - conquest, breakthrough, team death match and rush. Conquest is the 5 flag domination mode, breakthrough (aka frontlines) is attackers vs defenders, push them back to next sector etc, tdm is tdm and rush is plant and defuse

[ruby citrus]

honestly i never see tanks go on disgusting kill streaks, only the truly disgusting nightbird pilots

[small swan]

i can't upload pictures god damn

[red zinc]

You play breakthrough though ? I never play conquest only breakthrough

[lone void]

CT stands for Community Transmission, which was essentially an update notes/dev blog page

[red zinc]

I don’t think breakthrough has any little birds

[ruby citrus]

i play half/half, depending on my vibe

[red zinc]

But it has tanks on every map

[lone void]

it became a joke because everyone was always waiting for the CT for the next update

[patent prism]

Ohh, alright. Then no I don't get the joke. My apologies.

[red zinc]

I see it every other game in EU

[spare pasture]

Alot of the maps Dont work well on breakthrough or have good versions

[arctic grove]

Imo Conquest for when i wanna chill and fuck around and breakthrough for unlocks and stuff

[ruby citrus]

breakthrough is for farming revives, weapon kills etc

conquest is for a more chill experience

[red zinc]

Conquest is too slow

I need that adhd goblin gameplay

[dry flicker]

am i te only one that farms sniper kills in conquest

[ruby citrus]

i dislike the adhd meat grinder stuff

[red zinc]

I bet you love breakthrough redacted

[ruby citrus]

oh that was real fun

conquest redacted is already bleh

[red zinc]

Even I admit that was kind of madness but…kinda fun

Too chokepoint focused though

[ruby citrus]

them closing off all entrypoints but one was a dogshit design decision

everyone just hurls all their boom booms into one door

[red zinc]

Yea exactly

[patent prism]

I like Conquest because I am a disgusting suppressor+subsonic user that revels in causing mass confusion and causing distractions and tying up enemies in otherwise meaningless areas.

[small swan]

the other RPG you unlock is it better than the guided one ?

[ruby citrus]

didnt they gut that

[small swan]

does it recharges passively ?

[ruby citrus]

the javelin?

[small swan]

there are 2

any of those

i want moar dmg

[ruby citrus]

it doesnt recharge passively, but does 41 damage per hit, and its lock-on ground only

[red zinc]

The rpg7 is decent it’s hard to aim though

[small swan]

and the manual one ?

[spare pasture]

What does the sub-sup combo achieve

[patent prism]

They gutted suppressors when used without subsonic but for subsonic morons like myself the change was basically not noticable.

[red zinc]

Overall the recoilless m5 is best

[patent prism]

No self-spotting over 20 meters + no tracers or muzzle flash.

[ruby citrus]

same damage as lis rocket, no heat guidance, no rechargable ammo

[small swan]

i want rechargable ammo :c 'cause my team never gives me ammo

[red zinc]

@small swan if you want to solo vehicles go as Sundance, with smoke grenades to conceal yourself and c5s

[ruby citrus]

then stick to lis

[red zinc]

You can solo a tank easily

[small swan]

i dislike melee combat against vehicles

[ruby citrus]

lis is more of anti-air than anti-ground though

get good at shooting choppers

[red zinc]

You’ll rarely solo big vehicles with rpgs mate

C5 is kinda the only way

[small swan]

aw :c

and AT mines aren't better than C4 ?

in bf2 at mines 1 shot

[spare pasture]

Rpg has a better aura than c5

[red zinc]

The most damage you can do with RPGs is to double run RPG and AT grenade but even that you’ll die before you destroy a full health vehicle probably. You’d have to shoot rpg, then chuck grenade, then reload rpg for final shot

[spare pasture]

Crabford

[red zinc]

That wouldn’t destroy a cav brawler either

Mate Crawford tickles vehicles lmao

You’ll get obliterated the second you shoot

[spare pasture]

Deep pockets

[small swan]

it's funny, 'cause.

I grabbed a tank 2 times. And missles were raining

[limber lodge]

anyone know if servers are taking a shit or is the game really dead in oce?

[small swan]

but when i see a tank, NOTHING

[red zinc]

You still gotta reload

[small swan]

oh and

is it me

[patent prism]

yes

[small swan]

or sometimes i deal no dmg to people i shoot at ?

and the game says my ping is 50

weird

i thought i was lagging really bad

[patent prism]

You'll always deal damage when you hit them, theoretically possible to kill someone at 500 meters with a pistol.

[spare pasture]

Gotta put the rocket deep in that tube 😩

[gray comet]

EMP nades, C4, as Lis

Its pretty good as well.

[spare pasture]

Goofy

[small swan]

C4 better than mines ?

[spare pasture]

I love getting air kills with the rpg

[patent prism]

Smoke grenades, C5, as Blasco.

[spare pasture]

Better than fx33m-aa

[small swan]

the other engineer has any cool weapon ?

the basic ones sucks ass, i really like lis

and the other guy ?

[spare pasture]

The sex man?

[patent prism]

Crawford?

[small swan]

there are 3

i have 2

idk the name

[spare pasture]

The guy that bri’ish

[small swan]

he has something cool like lis ?

[gray comet]

Lis good

Crawfish has an extra rocket and a big big gun

[patent prism]

Not really, he has a deployable minigun but it's kinda bad.

[gray comet]

And a reassuringly smooth voice

[small swan]

aw :c

so there's only 1 engineer

good to know

[patent prism]

At least I don't usually see it as more than a mild nuisance.

[gray comet]

It’s really good in Redacted where you are funneled into it

[spare pasture]

I’d say it’s useful for close quarters except when you get an sph on the floor

[small swan]

i saw the turret, bad against campers

[spare pasture]

Also he has that one open jacket skin from S5

[small swan]

and this game is filled with them

[patent prism]

I see it all the time but have yet to register being killed by it. Granted I am a tunnel rat recon player so most of the time I have encountered them it's been from behind (giggity) and resulted in the death of whoever crewed it.

[small swan]

flower campers

[gray comet]

Sneeeeky Recon

[patent prism]

Sneak 100

[small swan]

can i mix special skills between operators ?
