smokes are great but a lot different than night maps
smoking sentinels is cool to, can basically keep them hidden if you have a smoke gl
Felt like John Wick for a second there
does anyone else have this problem where you have to make steam constanly verifly battlefield 2042's files? because I have it and if I don't do it, I can't go back to the menu screen after a match
Ultimately I just prefer it when fights are more so about duels than just being caught out. A battle of aim, movement and positioning. And night maps tend to introduce a gameplay style more akin to a milsim where the goal is to catch someone out rather than meaningfully engage them. Just not a style I enjoy
If the game just goes to a black screen after a match, you definitely aren't alone on that, but as for a fix being reverifying game files on steam, that's new. Usually just relaunch the game to "fix" the issue on EA App version
Yeah the black screen is common, just restart when it happens
no no, save yourself some time
I only get that after I leave matches too often.
Better yet dice plz fix lol
oh how nice it is to go 22/0 in AA and not get the entire lobby after me
Question is, did you sit in spawn all the time or did you actually move around
If the latter - 👏, if the former - 
dont judge me. last game the entire lobby went after me after i moved
understandable. I think there's a place for both in BF2042. Not always necessarily in the same match though. I personally love when the situation becomes one of better raw tactics. And alot of people post clips of unaware multikills believing they are john wick or whoever, but really, what isn't clipped is a whole lot of death.
Well there’s a reason why most of the portal modes are milsim type things, evidently people do like that approach where it’s like one bullet to kill and it’s just about you waiting. But I treat 2042 more like a movement shooter than that
I know it isn’t, technically, but it’s got a pretty good moveset
I think only 1 bullet to kill is bit excessive, but i understand some of those approach angles to a match's settings. Movement and aim, weapon doctrine, some tactics. Teamwork, all of it seems to define the core game
Vince is too busy deciding which titanfall character will have a child that’s been hidden for decades only to appear is a tie in character in apex
and making obscure references to 3 for the featured TF2 game mode of the week
Watching people’s reaction to that was hilarious
I saw the article posted here in #other-games that it straight up wasn’t in the works, but these fellas still ate it up
Bring back 128, you monsters. My final message.
It shall return
Too be fair, what else is AA going to do besides do like 10 damage total to tanks before needing to cool down lmao
Lmao
the new marksman rifle is op
i got a fuckton more kills than i normally do with any other gun
yeah it's the best weapon in the game currently
eventually
probably
i want more skins for it aint gonna cap
none of the avalable ones really look good imo
Beyond 40m it turns into a DM7 though
Year 5 my Dice application has been denied. I guess they only higher... not smart people
huh wat
What.
i just installed the new nvidia driver and i keep getting lag spikes anyone know why
ong
I disagree with that, that's like saying nobody likes cqc maps when there are people who do. I don't like cqc maps in battlefield. Plus I did mention portal to have an option to change a day map onto a night map and there are people who do like night maps. Look at bf4, people liked the night version of zavod 311
I am slaying so easily with it. It’s despicable
I’m close
lmao wtf is this ...4 game in a row get US spawn every time we lose a with in minutes
the game is unplayable because of the new nvidia driver update wtf
nothing loads and it runs at like 30fps on a 3080
no textures loading has nothing to do with nvidia or drivers or any hardware
its purely a new widespread bug that dice put in the october 10th update
and it was super laggy
yeah whole models not loading
even though it was completley fine and i got no bugs before i installed ity
player models and vehicles moving and shooting but its like they have a cloaking device and are invisible
strangest bug ever
but its tied to textures not loading
which is tied to ea servers
im gonna try and reinstall the drivers
not hardware issue so dont worry
it was completley fine before i downloaded new drivers
no its not an issue on your end i promise
its a widespread issue
i was running it on months old drivers and having the same problem
updated today to the newest ones and it stil happens ever 1-2 matches
imma experiment and downgrade my drivers to see if it really is
it was running 165fps max settings right before i installed and now max settings it runs at 20-30fps
i reinstalled drivers it seems to be fine
Is something going on in game? I can't see weekly missions, and I can't see how many kills I need to unlock attachments?
restart game?
half my team just quit on redacted lol
top of the team, 40-7 ☹️
the new marksman is so broken holy shit
@next onyx top kills (58) using the 880 jfc this team was absolutely shit 
you like 2hk with 250rpm?
300rpm
same ttk of svk (short barrel doesn't increase rof on standard rounds on the svk cause a bug)
full auto
lol
bruh I feel that so much
way is right though...the suppressor on the 880 is fucking amazing
they were so bad literally half of them quit, I couldn't believe it when the checked the scoreboard at the end and half my team was gone, no AI even lol
and i was cracked that match but it didnt matter because there was 20+ deadweight 
same, I did so well that match, I am happy with it anyway, whatever, these smucks deserved to lose
i got like... 12 1 shots in a row lol, the damn reload time on that thing kills it
hmmm I might have to try it
balance tho
cough...what about balance with that new DMR?
lol
they'll probably nerf it into the ground and make it a worse svk, don't worry
welp I nearly completed all the missions for this week again, its gunna take me forever to get the new DMR
I'm only half way
considering the avancy, bsvm, rm are still op....i wouldnt count on it being nerfed to the ground lol
well they just nerfed the BSVM 
like..yesterday?
well i used it after the season started and it was still broken good
they nerfed horizontal recoil, and nerfed initial vertical recoil, and yeah, it didn't seem to change much
but Im not a bsvm sweat so IDK, maybe it fucked one of the loadouts for it idk
its just a dumb weapon, short barrel full auto with high power
dang half way to T1 on the VHX cause I did like 350 kills vs bots to skip to extended mags 😂
(took like 20 mins or so, worth it)
I wonder if they gave it AR headshot multipliers if that'd fix it
or just make it worse than other weapons we already have
built in suppressor is so good for hiding where you are shooting from + people are dumb
yeah, same with RM68
I accidentally used subsonic like nearly an entire round on the VHX and didn't even notice cause it was still killin
wrapped is still good, even if just to not show up on the big map with a red dot when people spawn in
don't think the bsvm would be as good if the game didn't have so much randomness associated with recoil values (vs bf4)
i believe the bsvm has a built in bullshit meter on it, i can randomly shoot that gun in the air and somehow headshot someone 
ddude the new rifle is too good
I had a ACWR game the other day where allegedly I did 15 headshots out of like 20 kills
i am getting numbers ive never gotten on this game with it
the ar or the dmr?

i normally get like 15 kills and like 9895328 deaths
did you play during season 4?
i bet by the time I unlock it, it'll be nerfed into oblivion
oh, so you missed an even more broken weapon then
rm68?
I was gunna say, new AR is good, but I don't think its OP. It shines on redacted, but its worse than the M5 at range
yeah
its a fine weapon lol..but its no where near as broken an AR as we have had in the past
what did they do when they nerfed the RM68?
by biggest issue when using it is the reload.
ive used the rm68 its still pretty decent
its a serious negative
they slapped it on the wrist a bit?
If it used to have 40 rounds that'd be hella broken
i finished getting all the guns in the game today which is cool
and its fun to just pick a random one and play with it
i wonder if the selector switch actually moves when you switch fire modes
probably
even with 90 fov I feel like my gun is still so close to me
can't complain tho cause its bullpup
Glock for ease of use and kill power
Okay... I fucking give up
BFP or Rex if you’re cultured
There is literally nothing else I can do to fix this issue
It's literally EA's side
But I’m using the L9CZ because shooty fast has been my thing for pistols since BF1
wat
It has a rangefinder basically lmao
yes it has elevation lines 
throwing knives are so funny to use
facts
Mostly useless but I guess the milsim players love the rangefinder
i went on a killing spree with just throwing knives at one point beacuse of that challenge
they are so fun too
better than grenades imo
i just use throwing knives and the sph explosive launcher because both are hilarious
and the explosive launcher is funny to kill dozers with
No ping sound?
It’s secretly a type 5 rifle 
why are u always here and why do you always use that emoji in every message

is anyone else struggling to find a match all the sudden>?
I’m not always in #battlefield-2042 but I like to see what goes on in here 
THATS WHAT I WAS SAYING LIKE 8 MONTHS AGO
Also I like the leo face it doesn’t really mean Ill intent or anything 

MOST SINFUL PART OF THE GAME IS NO GARAND PING
I legitimately thought it was a person lmao
the shadow people are real 
Hiroshima shadows
also dozers legitimately have no idea what to do if you run straight towards them
it's a free trickstab half the time
are those the cutout soldiers on the map?
i shot the shins off a dozer with the 880..that was funny 
“This cain’t be, how could you”
The 880 slaps now and I’m here for it
I completely forgot abt that fact let me be delusional
im new to BF2042 but not new to BF in general (although the last one i played was bf4) but sniping feels so SATISFYING in this game

you know whats more satisfying though? playing the objective and not camping in the back with a bolt action 
i was playing aggro sniper with mckay, the dude with the grapple
but were you capturing points?
alright..ill let it slide this time but youre on notice 
0_0
mackays that camp in narnia are the worst lol
yea nah
fuckers just grapple up to some obscure part of the map and miss 3/4 of their shots the whole match
his grapple is too fun for fucking campers
“Trick shotting” with the NTW while capping points is the best
Also fun fact half of the Leo’s posted are from me 
amazes me at times 
That's wild
you'll never fucking guess what happens

I didnt realize this was planetside
i actually lol'd
They didn’t see it coming and neither did I
I love that purple.
purple?
Gotta have it for every season
the HUD
the HUD color
You can change the colors for just about every hud element
Hitmarkers, crosshair, enemy team, your team, squad, weapon hud ect
I think the shadow is coming through the left wall
I saw a casper shadow down there once
there is some weird shadow occlusion issues somewhere
scary stuff
they should keep it
Yo chat, I’m seeing bf2042 break it’s all time player count. What’s up with that? I played the beta disliked it, got the game on sale never played it
whyd they take off 128 conquest??
it went on sale for like $10, they had a free weekend, and a new season came out including a decent close quarters map
I hate portal.
hear me out
It makes me sad, because it's like a mimicing of the old games, you can see the potential and you get the nostalgia, but it doesn't live up to it, and at the same time, reminds you the actual game doesn't live up to it, either.
So is it actually good now or it was on sale and all the new players are boosting stats.
I mean it has the same fundamental issues it's always had, but based off what I've seen from launch, they removed loads of bugs, nerfed a ton of stuff, and brought classes back
so I mean, its playable now
Not trying to hate on it, I see the ultimate edition is $35 rn and the x/s upgrade is $20 (I have the Xbox one edition)
its alright I guess
Wait classes are back?
Like dead ass
sort of
but not really
the specialists are still there
That’s the reason I couldn’t get into it tbh
but they are organized into classes
it doesn't have the same vibe as old games
in terms of classes
Specialist were dumb to me. After forever with the classes I couldn’t move on.
its not as rock paper scissors
but at this point its decently balanced so it works alright
would anyone mind if i asked what does weapon proficiency do? ive never seen it before
idk you should update the game, play it a bit, then decide if you wanna uprade imo
cause some people will hate it still
They are little buffs given to classes
Why are the servers so empty
They’re designed to aid players in picking a particular weapon for that class
Probably a good idea, the sale ends in 6 days
are the buffs listed somewhere?
I can’t get into a game with more than 3 people
afaik you basically have to play with crossplay
turn crossplay on
Yes.
Assault gets more magazines for ARs
Engineers gets better crouch accuracy for LMGs
Supports get faster deploy times for SMGs
Recons can hold their breathe for longer than 10 seconds with sniper rifles
Also recons got a pistol proficiency but I’m not entirely sure what it is
recons switch to secondary and back faster
thats not bad
which is decent
thank you man
IMO engineer as a class is like totally broken and/or weird
imo Rao is tied with the best engineer, and he's Recon 
why?
cause gadgets
thanksfully recon actually got a class upgrade since the extra steady time was useless
you used to be able to use the rpg with rao lol
the recon passive seems to be bugged rn
I know, crazy, wasn't around them tho sadly
is it? dang
so in BF4 you could 2 shot an MBT with two rockets, that's gone.
thats good
you say that, but did you ever play against people who went 80-2 in tanks in BF4?
because I did
i did as well
the vehicles in this game feel off to me
but isnt 2 shotting a tank kind of broken?
no, because you had to be behind it
me too but i cant put my finger on it
the aim is off
idk what it is or why
ok i didnt know you were meaning positional
but imo it makes vehicles a lot weaker
it feels like there is drift
to the shot and aiming it
idk
Crawford is okay now cause he can have 3 rpgs I guess
but other than Lis, the other engineers get 2 RPG or 3 M5s
which feels like nothing
and you're screwed if you can't get an ammo box
yo would anyone be able to recommend a side arm to run while im using my sniper? all i have atm is mp28 which is ok but not sure if there is anything better
so a lot of the time, you shot them, die, respawn, shoot them off, repeat if you aren't squading with a support
might i recommend
C4 JEEP?
probably G37 with burst fire is still the best? but idk for sure
imo hella unreliable
also the maps are a bitch to drive on imo
there's rocks and shit everywhere
it is but the dopamine hit is INSANE to me
for the recon buff? thats a good question
Is the Rorsch MK4 effective as a sniper rifle?
I've heard if you can handle the charge its pretty alright? but I dont snipe
Does it ever received a nerf?
i think so
but idk, we need someone else in here lol
yes the rorsch was nerfed
Now it’s all AI
there is a community calender, they switch modes to some extent week to week but I thought rush was still there, idk
it was more powerful in its pre-launch state then got nerfed before release, and got some slight tweaks after
what region are you in?
I think you have to close out and restart the game for crossplay to take effect
theres matchmaking issues currently, but yes restart the game if you just enabled it
Why do jets feel so wooden all the sudden?
The responsiveness and precision in the Sukhoi is completely gone
Handles like a damn barge
werent any changes to jets except the afterburners for s6
It’s probably because I cant fly it at top speed anymore and it sucks when its slow
yeah thatll be why, turn rotations are tighter with afterburners, since you cant put them on 24/7 now itll feel off
What is the console for on the ` key?
Getting a “global game quota exceeded” while trying to start a portal server…
Like I work all day and wanted to play for like 30 minutes, but that’s too much to ask for I guess
So you can misclick it, get stuck in console, and die to a jump spamming Falck with a PP29 again
Thanks to that I die 80% of the time

One message removed from a suspended account.
hi new to 2042, hope you enjoy your stay!
One message removed from a suspended account.
EA is losing soooooo many players because they buy the game, check, no 128 player, then refund lol
I have officially paid EA so you guys can get 10 seasons tops.
(to be fair its fair to assume if there isn't 128 then the game doesn't have it, most ppl aren't gunna google it)

why? at launch people absolutely hated 128 and wanted 64 xd
welcome to 2042 features downgradesss
64 players again....
Howdy new to 2042 
Hey i have a question, Im new and im learning jet, im having an issue i cant seem to track a target from airm, like i see the enemy but when i turn back its like im shooting blind, can anyone help?
oh 128 was removed? i was wondering why there was only 64
32 v 32
howdy new and sadly idk but howdy nonetheless

jthere's a Redacted Rush 128 server on portal lol
teammates dont really spot, which is part of the problem
Really look for the lights.
another problem is people dont ping when they're killed
No.
...ofc...
It wasn't this aggressive before.
I thought they were going back to 6500? they didn't change the fucking increase at all? great
only week 2
great, I play a decent amount and now IDK if I'll even be able to complete it if it just goes up and up like this
It'll end up at like 20k for a point or worse
you've got 14 other weeks of missions you'll be fine
I know for certain you'll get it but unfortunately it'll take longer than it should.
subsonic on the vhx is interesting.. dare I say more practical than high power
uh
did they change the way heals work? i swear i was standing still and wasn't auto healing
no
Subsonic has more ammo so it kinda has more use.
It has the same damage ranges so it's kinda easier to use.
You can use it with 6ku and still be able to 2hk someone to the head in its prime damage range too.
But you may as well just use wrapped anyways.
ye I had forgotten the RPM reduction actually makes it more stable at range ironically
Like when you place long barrel on the ac42.
but when i watch some tutorials i see them spottng so easily
that's a war crime
don't do that to people
Terribly.
F
There's no need for the velocity.
you can ping in the direction of where the bullets are coming from
Standard mag on VHX is kinda okish to clap 2-3-4 heads
Can't wait to unlock extended
truue battlefield experience (i died)
Is there like an extended long barrel 
Extend deez
O no
ok the new dmr is busted
since you said that, that shit reminds me of Resonance of Fate gun modifications: extra, extra, extra, extra long barrel with 5 grips and 3 scopes
but also an AK-12 killed me faster at 75m so

I can binge for a while once I get home
so ive heard, gonna unlock it soon

Its too good.
And see how many BP levels I get before I die for the night
Standard pushes it into a bit overwhelming territory.
High powered is good on it though.
Q on console
No thank you

Q on Console indeed
oh they removed roadkills from the EOD bot lol

dozer moments
I just realised that the face doesn't have eye lids.
That emoji is terrifying
whats the setting called?
in jet Q is yaw left atleast my config
It should be ping / commo rose.
did you see my earlier clip
Dudes spotting as he pitches left.
Yes
Confusing the squad.
why the hell would you put your jaw on the q key lmao
Does he have his pitch to space bar?
Personal preferences. Like how one plays on invert.
People who play on inverted controls (on controller) are psychopaths
inverted people don't exist

they're just figments of myths
Everytime someone says how do I cheat or what's the secret I'll just respond I play in invert.
Unironic invert and make people anger.
Ok time to set up a Wii controller
ugh i need a skin for rao so bad

Pulling down to control recoil? What's that? I just push my mouse up.
i hate looking at his stupid smile
"can't hear you accusin' when i'm slapping away on my donkey kong drums to shoot yo bottocks!"
What would people say is the best shotgun build right now?
Now we’re cooking with that 
Flying a jet in 2042 with my Resident Evil chainsaw controller
Shooting people with a flute controller
That reminds me some random was shit talking me, they were below halfway on the scoreboard and publicly owned them.

kinda sad we lost all these weird peripherals from the early 2000. they were so dumb
Shooting people with a flute
12m auto drum and/or MCS default they both will gun down people to atoms anyways
Yes
prob was already aiming slightly before you
or lag
Ill try it out. Last time I used shotguns was the MCS slug nonsense
don't use slugs buckshot will one shot from 30m anyways
they're cannon snipers now best noobtube weapons in the game
flechette rounds are usable, pick your poison
M10-A mains right now:

buff everything except the secondary of all things
This gun is still OP
Yeah I know I became SpongeBob each time I encounter a 10-A
Has great range for its factory variant
got nerfed in ww1 due germans cried it was a war crime. in ww2 secretly buffed again due no one noticed its power among the rise of smgs
Terminator guns
guize #1 or #4 buckshot for the 880?
The smithereeners weapon
model 10a double barreled shotgun
also funny how they turn the MCS into a cell disintegrator but the super 500 is still terrible to use
ppl talk about cheaters but I think they just get owned
gimme good build for mcs
Super 500 has never been terrible.
it's awful terrible inconsistent damage at range and no point to using it compared to the deagle
I haven't seen anyone I thought 100% was cheating, do they even exist? or just super excellent tryhards people mistake for cheaters?
thanks way
why bother with a shotgun that barely one shots at 15m when you have a automatic 75 damage weapon
They exist
Just not in your region
thank god
Cause most people got honour
yes they do exist, they're rare but they exist
Not mine
whats this mean lol
Mine is 50-50
Cause it's a secondary. If you wanted range use the deagle or the p125.
Shorty if you want power for just close range.
I heard cheating is not really seen the same way in some countries
Its fine considering its a secondary anyways. You don't main it.
in some countries its just the 'smart thing to do' (this is a ofc a generalization, I'm sure not everyone in any country thinks its okay!, ofc)
In OCE it's on and off.
There's a cheater I suspect but I need more people to weigh in.
and the deagle will one shot headshot at close range faster than it
Guy got baited into buying 2042 successfully
it's just a redundant scrap weapon no point to ever using it
A one shot kill being faster? Shorty it's easier to aim for the body.
DICE right now: 
EA when they demand battlepass is slower so these new people buy the fast track
M44: OI MATE AM I A JOKE TO YOU?

you'll be lucky you even hit the person because of how inconsistent it is
M44 KEK.
Deagle is goated
Taurus Raging Bull is pocket sniper
Inconsistent? Yes. Cause of shotgun issues.
But it's not as inconsistent as you think.
deagle seems good, but feels weird to me, I think its cause it actually has legit recoil
it has immediate kick recoil so you need to recentre immediately, but very powerful
one time I needed them because a squad of 4 was wrecking my team
Lmao
can't always kill 4 people at the same time lol
Fight fire with fire
Hey look. That's fine.
Considering shotgun secondary and its power it needs such limitations.
Besides. Three mans within a short period of time felt amazing.
The highlight was the dude that thought he had me.
With zains passive activating like FUCK YES.
Infact I ran out of ammo consistently and needed to use flechette which were the most inconsistent.
@remote kiln also the fuck you doing up all night.
I hope you're ok.
Oh yeah.
primary reason is I shift my electricity utilisation to morning hours because it becomes mega cheap
man im getting tilted from people killing me from 30m with the 880
Yeah I just learned that electricity is cheaper outside of peak hours.
Which as it goes.
and they aint even using the slug either lol
But goddamn.
try to adjust your chair, so you stay straight

normally it's around 18-24 during average hours but at these times it goes as low as 4/kWh, negative even
Turn on everything at 2:30 to 3pm to get some money goddamn hahaha
But jesus christ that spike.
Buy the most power hungry AC.
the cap rn is 26/kWh, so it's lower than the average
Oh yeah.
things work a bit different here to most, suppliers can only charge up to the unit cap (per kWh) the regulator sets for standard tariffs
so it doesn't follow the market, it's a static rate, for everyone
the big con of that is its also extremely expensive when the market is lower, so I'm on a variable tariff
Does Boris' sentry gun spot through smoke?
no
Just hack as rao or send airbursts into buildings.
You know it'd be super cool if turrets shot at painted targets.
you will know when the turret has locked on, it has a audio prompt and the damage is consistent
So if you hacked a player they'd prioritise them.
it uses line of sight
Oh goddamn that'd be super cool.
Imagine if a painted target would activate the buff for the sentry without the need of a Boris near it.
So in a way they could be controlled.
Where the hell 128 Player Conquest?
it's been rotated out for control
Can Boris's turret get replaced with a TOW missile
lmao thatd be so cool
It sucks I had to create 128 conquest in the portal, whether conquest normal can make 128 player or just go conquest large
wait so what is EOD bot good for now?
If there will be no 128 Players, I WANT REFUND
if you live in OCE there wont even be players for CQ128 let alone Rush
Why I update my video card driver version to the latest, my FPS has decreased to 50, it used to be 150
then rollback a version
The old version also has problems, sometimes the FPS will suddenly decrease to very low level
So I updated it
My video card is Nvidia RTX 4060
The FPS will decrease to 30-50 suddenly
ok seriously what's the EOD bot for
And sometimes the models can’t be loaded successfully
disarm gadgets and arm mcom
oh and fix vehicle
Is it a bug or something
I think it is bug of driver
Anybody uses 40 series video card too?
U may reinstall driver, mb it ll help
)
I use 1650
So it’s a bug of the game
What version do you use
Just 1650, not ti or super
No I mean the driver version
I don t remember
All right… Thank you anyway I’ll try the old version later
It seems there’re more bugs than season 5
Good luck
It’s possible it might take cues from the KSG
Omg
What do u do Here ?
What do you mean?
Nothing
ok ;-;
ah no im talking about the aesthetics of the NVK shotgun.
I know
The KSG and NVK look pretty similar
Hah
However
It’s more likely based off that double barrel pump action that MW19 featured
It is likely based off the DP-12
It could be a mix
But I’m gonna go with the DP-12 in this case
I’m sad now
Your HUDs.
Thanks

Also how the fuck do you already have the 417

Is the game finally decent?
i just got it
No HUDs?
From a game perspective yes
Oh
In what ways exactly?
We’ll know that’s just misleading
I've heard aiming got better
The game’s stability is much better
There is much more content in the game
It's well worth the grind.
So it feels like a game with a net code now
Yes
And going to your aiming point
They fixed a long time issue where your crosshairs provided visual recoil
This has been fixed
Does this mean getting hit actually produces a sound as you're hit, instead of a second later now?
is the conquest 128 players thing gone??
i just played it yesterday
and today its gone
I believe that’s latency
But you should be good either way
They rotate the gamemodes
I remember having a massive delay even with like 10 ping but that was a while ago
That should be fixed now
Yes
I believe they’ve added more ways for players to move around so that should be better now
Aside from aiming my biggest gripe is how you felt like you were gliding instead of actually running
It’s also much smoother
Im not sure but there is a camera bounce when running
Or whatever it is
I guess I meant movement just feeling more like what you were actually doing
Yes
The movement feels much more
“Real” I guess you could say
It feels more grounded and less floaty
Yeah ok so this might be my favorite game if it's to the extent I think it is
Bf game at least
What else did I hate
It also helps that this game is like $10 on Steam
Right do guns feel like guns?
Why the discount?
New season launch and plus we just had a free weekend
Ah, so it's not a permanent thing
Yes it’s a sale
Was worried since that would've shown that they were gonna be done with it
Yeah I know, they'll cut it off soon supposedly
All we know is that on Halloween we’re getting a limited time mode
They should stick with 2042
Unless 2042 was just a bridge between Bf1 and their new game
BFV doesn't count imo since it was cut off way before its time and only just got decent
You should get the game while it’s still discounted because if you find it not satisfactory you won’t have to worry about having spent much money on it
Did they improve the grittiness in this game? The whole untouched fields really didn't do the atmosphere service
Yes
All of the maps have received reworks that change them gameplay wise as well as tonally
I've already got it a long while back, just don't have a system to play it on for the next few months
All of the specialists have had visual changes to match the more gritty aesthetic
Went to a different state to do some stuff
Ok so they're actually trying now
Yes
Thank god
They also changed most pre-game and menu voice lines
The characters are also a bit more serious now
How are the gun animations now?
They’ve improved
I remember those being robotic and they sucked
Yeah so they feel less like toys?
Speaking of toys they have recoil that befits their rounds now given all the realism they've added?
I beg your pardon?
Like 7.62 recoils noticeably more severely than 9mm
Eh yeah
I don't really like how everything felt like firing a bb gun
The guns do sound much better now
It’s namely the post-launch guns that sound much better
Not every single gun sounds the same?
But the launch weapons sound much better and they do sound all different
Ok that's huge
Snipers
Love em in every game but 4 and 2042, not in 4 because I don't use em often and not in 2042 because they just didn't feel worth it
Actually with 4 it's more that I just love how every other weapon type feels more but eh
I can’t really speak on 2042 snipers as I don’t use them particularly often but they should feel more punchy now
Sweetspots deservedly probably aren't back, but with that punchiness they at least can provide some use at reasonable ranges I'd imagine
They are not back
As expected
My issue with snipers was always that in this game you have to be 50005 meters away before they outclass other weapon types, and this was troublesome because of net code, aim, and a little hitreg
Anyways thanks
NTW still oneshots
Any time
So you're fine if you wanna be semi aggressive with a sniper
So NTW is the definitive sniper for people who aren't focused on camping in their spawn
Gol Sniper Magnum is definitely one of my favorite looking snipers in the battlefields but I kinda hate how far you needed to be to get anything out of it pre-s5
I feel like if you want to run the NTW you may as well run the 880.
As of now with the metagame.
I wonder if the next BF game will have perks like CoD.
Well I mean
They're experimenting with different things like operators.
What about field upgrades
Like in BF4 and BFH
Field medic for life
Specialists I feel are likely inspired by them.
Nah those are just classes.
Archetypes were more hardcore.
Combat medic would have focused on self healing with adrenaline syringes.
Field medic was an archetype
Paratrooper for recon would be using suppressed smg's and had a garrote string for interogration.
It gave you faster sprint if you pinged revivable teammates
looking back BF3 squad specs were quite nice if you had people who knew what they were doing. this operator stuff has done my head in.
Field medic as we know it was a post archetype thing.
It could have had it.
I wouldn't doubt it would have had faster sprint on ping.
Field surgeon and medic.
It was called field medic in the final game IIRC
The fact that it got the grenade rifle like jesus christ.
Also archetypes didn’t really prohibit gadgets
They had their own gadgets for the archetypes.
The MMG class would have used flares.
There were only two archetypes per class in the final release of BFV
Nah Archetypes were more hardcore.
Archetypes are basically the classes' classes?
Yeah. Subclasses.

You know a battlefield based destiny would be super cool
Probably not very fun in practice because that never works but eh
Bf5.
Cut content
Ah
This one is my favourite.
Needle sharpshooter sounds like bf1 medic
Kinda does in a way.
I see what you mean, that sounds super fun
Trench shotgun on shock trooper 😫
Ew
But at the expense that you'll be sitting back.
Chemical warfare class
It's funny because the tear gas bullet was an actual thing.
I wouldn't doubt that it would be.
Adjustable bipod sounds horrifying
I’d be very interested in a reality where we get to see the originally planned BFV
Especially if they could use mmgs
Like
No backlash
No hatred
The original version of BFV we saw in the reveal trailer
I feel like they got rid of archetypes since they'd be difficult to balance around.
It'd be like BF1 but perfect in every way wouldn't it?
And wanted to simplify it.
Except this
The Germans had it early in the war for their AT Rifle (the PzB 39). The theory was that it'd penetrate the armor of the tank and then a small dose of tear gas would enter the fighting compartment.
That'd make sense.
Well if we’re going off BFV’s concept art it would’ve been a more traditional WW2 shooter
Like how an RPG uses its payload to do damage to the interior.
Which would’ve been pretty cool
If that would work as intended that sounds scary
Which is one of the most batshit insane ideas the German R&D department ever came up with.
Hole in your tank and you can't see anything
I’m just amazed that Zain looks at what is assumed to be robots and looks completely unfazed
Like this is a regular day for him
Problem is, you can't fit much tear gas into a 7.92 bullet as was used in the PzB 39. The ammunition used for that thing was basically a supercharged 7.92x57mm but 7.92x94mm instead. Which is insane.
Trying to keep his cool
Yeah, that's fair
Would make more sense for a mounted 20mm to have those
Yeah well he’s a bit too close to them to be keeping his cool
Several shots in a row that pierce the tank and gas the crew out
Like this is supposed to be some shocking moment
Bonus points if they use chlorine gas 💀
And he doesn’t look particularly surprised
Does the Stim pistol shot have AOE effect?
Yeah. The German Waffenamt R&D department must have been on crack, or more likely because they're Germans, methamphetamine to come up with these fucking ideas.
Like do I need to directly shot another player or you can shoot at close proximity?
What's funny is they almost definitely were when designing new weapons
No AOE.
Gewehr 41(M). A semi-automatic bolt-action rifle. 👍
Like they really snorted a line and said "dakka"
Orks from Warhammer would probably come up with more coherent weapons actually
Probably, yeah.
I'm sad we didn't get to see the FR-F1
Cold War French gun but still it should've at least been in 2042
Super nice rifle
Tbf isn't the FR-F1 and F2 being replaced by the HK417 in French service?
Personally I’m a little miffed we never got the Lebel in BFV
Actually tho
Also, if I miss a stim shot and it sticks to into the ground, can another play heal themself with it?
I'm still mildly annoyed we never got Eastern Front in BFV.
That’s fair
Yes, if they walk over it.
It took me like 30 minutes of staring at people reloading the thing to understand why they worked the bolt like they did after loading it
frf1 would be pretty vintage for 2042 but the frf2 is pretty feasible
I’ve slowly become more jaded over time against the Soviets in BFV
Probably because it’s more fun to watch people get all flustered over content that wasn’t even in the files
Yeah the F2 looks close enough anyways
We need a Scorpion in 2042
I like the half and half colors of the bakelite/wood or whatever it was
Yeah the skorpion
GIMME MY EVO.
I unironically thought you meant the Vz.61 for half a second.
I want to play it like it's black ops 2 again.
Sitting in the corner with a suppressed, diamond Evo.
Hahaha
We had dual wield VZ.61's in BFH, Hobby.
the skorpion is the machine pistol, the cz gun is the scorpion
among other names
We need to bring back the the LeMat Revolver and Colt Dragoon to bf2042
Yeah, I unfortunately am haunted by that memory.
Ah I thought he meant the pistol
If there's one old gun I'd love to see in 2042 it would be the Bren.
Hey look, When the Mac 10 exists. Getting murked by the VZ's was the least of your concerns. xD
I think if there is one gun I think should be in 2042
The Colt Anaconda
Either that or the Taurus Judge
Yes
I'd love a 2 hit kill shotgun sidearm.
I know Gun nerds like to shit on Taurus but the .410 Jury was fun
Shotgun revolver
What’s not to love
bruh
Oh that's a shame.
It’s called the Taurus Judge Public Defender (the model I’m referring to)
We need the Springfield Trapdoor rifle back, gotta get that "out down south in the land of traitors, rattlesnakes and alligators ride away (ride away) come away (come away)"
Ah
