battlefield-2042

[stone cradle]

I hate this 'engagement optimised' rotation bs, just give people all the modes they want available all the time

[ruby citrus]

he has some decent criticism but its hidden behind 20 minutes of bitching and moaning

[stone cradle]

But i guess that would spread the playerbase out thin

[midnight mesa]

right pretty much

[ruby citrus]

the game has 80k players it can take the hit

[midnight mesa]

im really only there for the info

[radiant prism]

He also tends to look at the game from a competitive/esports shooter POV, which isn't always best suited for BF.

[stone cradle]

DICE even mentioned him briefly and kind of thanked him and other creators for raising the issue on the recoil issue lol

[ruby citrus]

you can get the same quality of criticism from another source tbh

without all the bitching and moaning

[ruby citrus]

the recoil thing was one point of time i 100% agreed with him because the rm68 prime meta ruined 2042 for me

i was getting beamed from 130m away in half a second consistently

[calm bison]

CadWoman

Is probably the best for this

[stone cradle]

I thank her everyday in my sleep

For her portal codes

[midnight mesa]

I love cadwoman

She’s very fair

[drowsy shuttle]

because she is a mature person

[midnight mesa]

She doesn’t have time to bs in her vids

She gets it

[stone cradle]

Her videos are super concise too

[ebon pilot]

sounds like my kind of content creator

what's the channel

[radiant prism]

CadWoman is great :)

[stone cradle]

Thecadwoman

[ebon pilot]

thank

[junior galleon]

hes really not that bad, i watched a few of his videos. i dont find him a partciularly interesting youtuber, but hes not evil

[hearty kiln]

Pondhawk loadout suggestions? I am running angel with med crate as pilot for ammo and heals and my buddy is running javelin, pkp, and AT grenades. he redeploys for stingers when necessary but was wondering if ppl found something better

[radiant prism]

From numerous personal dealings with him, he absolutely is.

Dude is an egotistical narcissicist with anger management issues who has no problems personally attacking people over a video game.

[wide shore]

Couldn’t have said it better myself

[hearty kiln]

Don't describe me so well

[stone cradle]

He raged for like 12min over someone accusing him of cheating

[wary oak]

Which i bet he was cheating lol

[ruby citrus]

the second i complain about portal maps the game throws me into fucking hourglass

cruel irony

[stone cradle]

Hourglass.

The map I was hyped for the most

[ruby citrus]

map got reworked like 2 times and is still the worst map ive seen in any game ever

[drowsy shuttle]

hourglass > redacted (and i like redacted)

[ruby citrus]

clinically insane

i dont even like operation metro and redacted >>> hourglass

[stone cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/joker-gif-9793586

[wide shore]

Hourglass is great after its rework

[stone cradle]

What kind of crazy take is this

[wide shore]

One of the best breakthrough maps

[drowsy shuttle]

someone gets it

[naive quiver]

Hourglass just too large and less cover

[drowsy shuttle]

cheers @wide shore

[ruby citrus]

i was gonna say something but yeah its better for breakthrough, still dogshit for conquest

[wide shore]

I think it’s fine in conquest too

It was hot ass before

[ruby citrus]

basically nothing changed for conquest, its the same old map

[wide shore]

All it had going for it was the stadium previously

[ruby citrus]

too open, 0 cover

[wide shore]

I disagree.

[ruby citrus]

too large

[echo halo]

Hello 🙂 I have a big issue and if anyone can help it would be amazing latest update, impossible to start bf2042, it crashes just after the loading of easy anti cheat and can't do anything I tried every things that come to mind, cache reinstall, update easy anticheat, repair ea app etc
If you could help me please, it would be amazing

[junior galleon]

same

[drowsy shuttle]

its one of the most balanced maps in BT (if not the most)

[wide shore]

Layout is much better. Cuts off like 60% of the old map. Infantry has lanes through the middle with a focus on vehicles on the outside.

It’s a good combined arms layout

[ruby citrus]

i still see it as a dmr/sniper and helo playground

and nothing more past that

[twin sun]

Is anyone else unable to start a portal server?

[drowsy shuttle]

game doesn't use easy anti-cheat anymore

unless you mean EA anti-cheat

[echo halo]

Wee it is since I have this in my folder: EAAntiCheat.Installer

Oups yes indeed

[wide shore]

It’s not perfect. But it’s certainly a lot better. But to be fair what you described is 90% of 2042 maps

[wary oak]

you mean 99%?

[wide shore]

Sure. I mrean redacted and reclaimed are basically the only ones that aren’t

[drowsy shuttle]

i prefer reclaimed to redacted.. i guess my issue with redacted is the number of players.. i think 32vs32 is a bit too much

cause the map is pretty cool

[wide shore]

I love the meat grinder

I’ve always loved bf meat grinder maps. Loved metro, locker was fine, BF4 metro was more metro. Fort De Vaux ruled. Operation underground was really good too

[junior galleon]

bf4 metro is too grey

[echo halo]

(updated)

[wide shore]

That was kinda just bf4 in a nutshell

[junior galleon]

yeah fair

thats why i prefer bf3 graphics to bf4

blue filter > greasy vasoline grey filter

[wide shore]

Blue filter was annoying too. But it did make BF3 hold up surprisingly well

[midnight mesa]

Did you reinstall the ea app

[junior galleon]

blue filter wasnt as annoying as the lense flare

[wide shore]

The BF3 sun and the BF3 flashlights

GOLLY

[echo halo]

Yes already done unfortunatly

[junior galleon]

bf3 flashlights were just minisuns lol

[wide shore]

I think that game contributed to my astigmatism

[junior galleon]

i did like the bf3 suppression tho

[wide shore]

I wanna know who thought this was a good idea lmao

[ruby citrus]

dammit why are all the games where i go over 3 k/d the ones where we lose by like 400p

just had a game where i was 36/8 and we lost by like 460 tickets

[junior galleon]

ive never gone over 2 kd in a battlefield game....

[hearty kiln]

I went 29-0 and my buddy went 56-0 last night in cave brawler and our team got stuffed on final point lol

[vocal tusk]

Captures > k/d

Thats why

[ruby citrus]

helo squad?

[hearty kiln]

We were physically on the objective for 90% of gake as cav brawler

Game

[ruby citrus]

ah yeah vehicle

[vocal tusk]

But a weak team also doesnt help lots of the time

[ruby citrus]

this was on reclaimed specifically

[wide shore]

One person cannot win a game unfortunately

[ruby citrus]

i was trying to backcap a lot and saw it wasnt working cuz my squad wouldnt follow

[wide shore]

Try as we may.

[ruby citrus]

solo capping just isnt viable in 2042

you get dogged by 5 people within seconds

[vocal tusk]

Its deliberately not viable

[ruby citrus]

yeah i know

i wish the flag trick at least worked

[hearty kiln]

We lost because spawns are scuffed on last objective for defense on exposure

But it happens

[vocal tusk]

Which does suck...when as a single player, you try break through the enemy lines...only for 8 players to reach you just as you get a flag neutral

[junior galleon]

[radiant prism]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1105006609442291753/1150912087720210503/Winged.gif

[wild imp]

Can I have mod plz

[junior galleon]

same

[ruby citrus]

you dont even get to get it neutral most of the time

[vocal tusk]

I think they could reverse the order of the slow flag capture TBH...making a flag neutral should be fast, but capping it for your team should be slower. currently, its the other way around

[ruby citrus]

i get it to like half to neutral and i usually get 1v4d, i can maybe kill 2-3 but i die eventually

[mellow anvil]

mates , does anyone know how to fix the stuck at splash screen for BF2042

[wild imp]

in 1942 it capped faster if you were standing on it

pretty neat

I mean the closer you were

[ruby citrus]

if you mean eternal black screen, just alt f4 and restart

[echo halo]

I am looking for too...

[hearty kiln]

Interesting

[mellow anvil]

i load the game it goes to the small box screen then5 seconds later EA app replaces it and the game closes ive looked cant find a solution

[echo halo]

No it si the splah screen indeed

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, same in many older BF games. The closer to a flag, the faster you capped

[ruby citrus]

yeah neutralizing a flag takes an eternity

[wild imp]

I think that's a good mechanic, taking risk for fast cap

[ruby citrus]

capping it is done in seconds

[mellow anvil]

yeah i see like the small screen of the game then nothing lol

it only does it for the new EA games i have

[vocal tusk]

Also if it was a 1:1 friendly:enemy on a flag, the closer to a flag would affect it. It was a cool game of cat and mouse and offer you a way to locate your enemy

[ruby citrus]

yeah the flag trick being removed was such a bummer

it broke stalemates

granted 2042 is a much faster game in general so you can just cod style slide cancel into someone

[vocal tusk]

the scoring in conquest has huge issues all to itself...but ill not go on another rant lol

[junior galleon]

[ruby citrus]

battlebit does an interesting thing where like 90% of a games score is determined by ticket bleed

you have like 2000+ tickets, but the ticket drain is like 150/min from points

[vocal tusk]

Thats how it should be...the other 10% should be deaths

[wild imp]

But boy do I love that slide

[ruby citrus]

and both sides drain tickets based on the amount of sectors the enemy has

[opal edge]

Is the playerbase low or something ??

[junior galleon]

meh

[opal edge]

it’s like 1am and there hardly any players

[junior galleon]

crossplay on

[opal edge]

Hmm lemme try

Yeah cross play is on

[wild imp]

I can only imagen how this VHX is on console, must be a laser

[ruby citrus]

dont get me wrong same, im playing like a cod kid on adderal, but even that cant save me from losing lmao

[opal edge]

Should it be on? Or not?

[vocal tusk]

It should be on

[opal edge]

It’s on

[ruby citrus]

to be fair it is 1 am, people are just asleep

[vocal tusk]

Dunno then, in in the EU and I get a game after 10 seconds

[opal edge]

In the morning I usually see the lobby get full soon but now it’s like rarely any players

But for us it’s like not 1am

Lol

[wild imp]

You guys not from EU?

[opal edge]

Other side of the world

[ruby citrus]

yea same but its like 10pm at my spot

[opal edge]

[vocal tusk]

Same here.

[opal edge]

why so less players then

[vocal tusk]

VPN to the EU lol 😛

[opal edge]

How do I turn on fps and ping btw

To show on the screen

is there a console command

[karmic egret]

So apparently the servers were overloaded at peak hours?

[wild imp]

I think it's a setting

No wait

sorry perfoverlay.drawfps 1

[ruby citrus]

i just have fps via nvidia overlay

[wild imp]

in console

[ruby citrus]

okay honest to god im loving the paik change so much

its such a minor qol thing but its so massive

[strong snow]

[ruby citrus]

the little ding audio cue when you spot someone is so nice to have

and the enemies are a lot easier to see through walls when pinged

[opal edge]

btw when im in jet can i not look around??

i have free lock binding to my mouse movement but it doesnt work

[quaint vector]

Did my Ranger just Kaboom an enemy tank.?

[naive quiver]

Your ranger bring the tank with you

[quaint vector]

I didn't even knew that was possible with Ranger.

[ruby citrus]

it functions like a boris turret no?

eg does minor damage when shooting vehicles

[quaint vector]

Yes, but it exploded

[ruby citrus]

wait it suicide bombed into a vehicle?

[quaint vector]

Yah

[ruby citrus]

could be the vehicle accidentally ran it over

never seen rangers go kamikaze onto tanks before

[quaint vector]

It did 34 damage in one attack

[ruby citrus]

still think its prolly this

[arctic grove]

20k exp is cap?

[quaint vector]

What exactly.?

[arctic grove]

in match

[mental delta]

Guys what's that new type of storm in the game ?

[quaint vector]

No

I have like 30K XP per match. There is XP Cap in for day -> 1.5Mil XP

[mental delta]

Like there's still some tornado but it doesn't suck you on

[arctic grove]

why does it say cap reached every game I play? (3 in total) I can’t get more than 20k smth

[quaint vector]

AOW or Portal.?

[arctic grove]

Portal

[quaint vector]

Ahh.. Is it Full XP experience.?

[arctic grove]

ofc

[quaint vector]

I know they made Full XP Servers not Full XP..

I played with 11 friends on Private Server and we didn't got XP after capturing 2 flags

[ruby citrus]

rip ammo xp grinding cheese?

[remote kiln]

there is a daily xp cap per day from portal servers

it's around 1 million per day

after that you have to wait till tomorrow

[ruby citrus]

ik there was a trick where you could have everyone mag dump in the sky sitting under ammo kits and farm resupply xp extremely quickly

[arctic grove]

weird. I sat 15 minutes in helicopter exp lvling and yea 20k smth

[quaint vector]

You can't get XP if you quickly get XPs from Captures, Kills etc..

[arctic grove]

bank in the days easy 50k+

[prime ember]

severs down ?

[hearty kiln]

What's point of xp farming in 2042? Aren't most unlocks pretty early on for levels?

[quaint vector]

Portal is no longer Full XP...

Its all capped now, only Official playlists have actual Full XP experience

[arctic grove]

no s6 is disgusting grindy

[hearty kiln]

Ahh

[quaint vector]

SEASON 6 has 16 weeks tho

I already have Tier 55

Thanks to Redacted Breakthrough

[arctic grove]

I only have 11 and I play since the 1 second

[quaint vector]

Welp... Depends also on Gameplay

[arctic grove]

maybe my account is bugged

[hearty kiln]

I used my coins from past passes for the tier 20 pass since I wanted pondhawk so bad lol

[wild imp]

u ok mate?

[quaint vector]

Already have that badboy on Tier 1

[hearty kiln]

Loadouts/suggestions?

[wild imp]

Hes doing redacted with blasco for sure

but still how much you playing

xD

[prime ember]

i cant log in

[quaint vector]

Just get Smoke that gets rid off the lock ons and quick repair

[hearty kiln]

For my passenger mainly was what I meant

He rocks javelin, pkp, and at grenades currently

[quaint vector]

Also both Season 6 guns on Tier 1

[tacit sphinx]

both
do the pistol, coward

(i am yet to unlock any guns)

[quaint vector]

That pistol will take a bit longer.. I'm on 450 Kills with it.

I always forget about it

I just use primary weapons and then forget about new secondary

[mental mountain]

I should run it as my primary to get that Tier 1

[ebon pilot]

i'm just too good

[quaint vector]

BFP.50 was so good to Tier 1

[hearty kiln]

@quaint vector no loadout suggestions for pondhawk passenger?

[tacit sphinx]

my deagle is like 800 smth kills

[ebon pilot]

VHX

[frozen loom]

[tacit sphinx]

ghostmaker explosive bolts

[frozen loom]

Did you play on Redacted when you went against bots?

I think my highest was 204 kills.

[quaint vector]

Welp.. Passenger can use anything.

I was rockin on my own

[ebon pilot]

yes it was redacted with the new marksman

[frozen loom]

I should try it for my grenade launcher unlocks.

[hearty kiln]

What lobbies are you in that you got 800 roadkill already? Lol

[quaint vector]

EU Breakthrough

It can be Kill/Assist/Flag Capture

[ebon pilot]

you don't get roadkill, you get assists while sitting in it

like disruption

or spots

[quaint vector]

Yah

[hearty kiln]

Oh damn so just throw down blasco stuff and fly around?

[ebon pilot]

that's one way yea

[hearty kiln]

Didn't know those count still

[quaint vector]

Better way, use SOFLAM

[tardy patrol]

hey

[hearty kiln]

As passenger?

[twin sun]

Bro how tf I haven’t even unlocked any of the new weapons

[wild imp]

This is what im saying, the dude is a machine

[quaint vector]

Yep, you can switch seats when flying

[twin sun]

I finished the new challenges this week and I’m only tier 14

This shit is so unmotivating

Like I want to play less because there’s so much less sense of progression

[quaint vector]

I need 16K XP for 1 point

[unreal walrus]

anyone know if the BP has a legendary skin for the new AR (VHX whatever)? or can you only get that skin if you pay extra

[hearty kiln]

Damn I already have all those tier 1 lol what about....hmm... med crate?

[quaint vector]

There is not Legendary skin for VHX-D3 in Battle Pass

Only for G428

[unreal walrus]

what skins are there? do you have it unlocked yet?

[quaint vector]

https://youtu.be/hn3hqCp4a-8?feature=shared

[unreal walrus]

i meant for the new gun cause you cant even see what skins it has if you havent unlocked it

[quaint vector]

No, there is only that Legendary skin for G428 that is in the Battle Pass

No other legendary skins yet

[lone void]

The legendary RPT

[quaint vector]

That's in Store tho

[lone void]

Yes I know

[lone void]

I'm jussayin

I got the bundle just for the RPT and GVT

Everything else is a bonus

Boris helmet better than his BP skin

[spare pasture]

Bag

[quaint vector]

I hope I'll reach S-800 before end of SEASON 6

[junior galleon]

lol

logitech card

[lone void]

That playercard looks weird

[junior galleon]

yeah

[wild imp]

Share usage data plz

[lone void]

Boris and logistec sign look photos photoshopped over each other, on top of the scene

It's hard to describe how it makes me feel

[quaint vector]

What ya want to see.?

[spare pasture]

So based

[wild imp]

Everything 😄

[lone void]

Bro has T1 on all the civilian vehicles

[quaint vector]

I Tier 1 everything

[lone void]

This mf probably got all the S6 stuff T1 already

Tell me it isn't so

[quaint vector]

No, I don't have the new CZ secondary yet

[lone void]

Oh is that all

[quaint vector]

I have 450 Kills with it

The gap between a good player and bad one on console is huge

you must be unstoppable

[quaint vector]

Naah. I'm trash

[hearty pagoda]

hi any idea why achievments are not showing up on steam?

[quaint vector]

I have 5.8 K/D but that doesn't mean anything

[wild imp]

well if it's human KD it does

otherwise no, I saw a rank 20 whatever get 24-1 in chopper

[lone void]

Why do people equate rank to skill level

[wild imp]

but yeah there's 3 sorts of lies ..

[quaint vector]

I mainly play as Infantry, I don't enjoy vehicles in 2042

[wild imp]

You serious?

[lone void]

Yes

[wild imp]

Want me to demolish argument or you want to think for a bit

[lone void]

No I'm actually serious

[wild imp]

How do you get skill?

[lone void]

What if they just got the game on sale but they're really, really good at shooters.

[wild imp]

You practice, and what do you need for practice .. time ..

[vital mauve]

Lat raising the 30s now nice and slow

[lone void]

Low level, will perform very well

[arctic grove]

If every character got Sundance's wingsuit that'd be pretty cool

Imagine how annoying Mackay would be

[wild imp]

lol 😄

[arctic grove]

Imagine the turrets Boris could set up

[lone void]

As the opposite, I'm level 130 something and I'm frankly not very good

[quaint vector]

Zain with wingsuit

[lone void]

So no, I don't think player level is a fair metric of someone's perceived ability

[wild imp]

There is talent, sure

But time beats talent eventually

[arctic grove]

Wingsuit is just

The best way anyone could move

[lone void]

Maybe there's a reason they didn't let everyone and their dog use it

[arctic grove]

Yeah but it'd still be funny if they could

[lone void]

And it would also be funny if the VCAR could one tap people across the map

[arctic grove]

Super medic angel just flying across the map to revive somebody

[arctic grove]

Difference is the wingsuit can be used in more ways

[quaint vector]

I'm S-700 Rank player but I'm still trash

[arctic grove]

Sucks that we can't put C5 on teammates, Imagine covering a Sundance in them and having them fly into a vehicle

[left vapor]

why do the old battlefields in portal have weapon bloom lmao

[quaint vector]

I'll have 2 videos to upload this week for my YT

• 81 - 14 with VHX-D3 Gameplay

• 75 - 6 with G428 Gameplay

[wild imp]

Remember when you could put it on casper drone? x)

[arctic grove]

You can't anymore?

[tacit sphinx]

you still can

[arctic grove]

Yeah they just slow it down

[wild imp]

REALLY? but why is no one doing it then?

[tacit sphinx]

the drone just moves slow as hell with it on

[wild imp]

ah I see

[tacit sphinx]

because it's a cheap ass strat that got nerfed lol

[wild imp]

Man, if theres one thing I know

BF players ALWAYS find the cheese

[arctic grove]

So yeah Sundance would be a funny thing to cover in c5, make em turn into the TV Missile from BF4

[tacit sphinx]

tbf im pretty sure before we could even play the game they were like "and yes, you can put c5 on the drone ;)"

[arctic grove]

Makes sense that they'd nerf it in some way though

You can still do it, but you have to be closer and manually detonate it

[wild imp]

manually?

I shoot it?

[arctic grove]

You can either shoot it or just press the switch

[willow sky]

i used to be an infantry only player, until i realized u can dominate a match with your squad using a vehicle

its crazy fun

[arctic grove]

I've always hated how they controlled

The occasional extra kill isn't worth changing your entire job to "wait for enemies and click" or "clumsily move toward enemies and position"

Less with tanks and more with aircraft, helicopters required you to have 2 hands on the keyboard to move and an extra on the mouse to look around

[frail stratus]

does anyone know if rao can hack the stealth helicopter while its in stealth?

[cunning nexus]

Post patch update !

What attachments do we use for the RM68 ? And what attachments do we not use

[kindred flint]

thats kind poor performance with the g428 dont you think?

[junior galleon]

are the 2042 server issues spilling over into other battlefield games or something?

[quaint vector]

Like I said, I'm not a pro. Just a casual trash player.

I'm still thinking about switching to PC

[kindred flint]

ive mocked way enough for the shitbucket....but i might have to respect your grind doing it on ps5

[royal swan]

Just need 424 more kills to t1 mcs880

I don't think it should be nerfed

It's only op on redacted

[spare pasture]

Why the flippity would it be nerfed

[vocal tusk]

Breakaway 64 is a mess of a map. The massive central flag doesnt work.

[royal swan]

Any big maps and you are just outgunned

[spare pasture]

Bring more gun?

[dim crypt]

I’ve played so much redacted I’ve forgotten how to function on other maps

[spare pasture]

Feels nice when you aren’t getting blown up by vehicles

[spare pasture]

Part of the map part of the crew

[dim crypt]

Yeah 80% of my deaths now are just vehicles

Back I go to redacted

[dim crypt]

Real

[spare pasture]

Dice should just add redacted and reclaimed to 128 playlist

Not everyone wants to play old maps

[late otter]

Hey, I need 3 people to do the Easter egg on orbital

[spare pasture]

Well that or just add the maps in the 64 versions so people can play all the maps in 128 playlist

[dim crypt]

Yea agreed

[sullen quarry]

arf

[arctic grove]

We need a super good easter egg weapon in this game ngl

[mint sable]

no...

[spare pasture]

[arctic grove]

Maybe we could get a Sub-2000 or CP33 as an EE weapon

[sullen quarry]

I've been so checked out of battlefield

[frozen loom]

Bozer.

[sullen quarry]

Cod Halloween event more fun

[frozen loom]

It's CoD though.

[spare pasture]

Let’s show them how we do it

[sullen quarry]

I like cod

I said it

[spare pasture]

Shield guy ready to go

[frozen loom]

I grew out of CoD.

[arctic grove]

Anyone else for a permanent unlock gun?

[sullen quarry]

Believe it or not guys, I play other games besides battlefield

[frozen loom]

Why?

[arctic grove]

CoD grew out of good

[frozen loom]

True.

[spare pasture]

🧢

[sullen quarry]

Shocker, I know

I didn't know other games existed either

[frozen loom]

[sullen quarry]

For I have dementia and ADHD

[frozen loom]

Infinite replayability.

[frozen loom]

With that combo.

[sullen quarry]

and an unidentified condition known as... LIGMA

[spare pasture]

It’s not tombstone squad but it’ll do

[sinful zealot]

Every other game is just training for battlefield

[spare pasture]

Remember this is bigger than us

[sullen quarry]

I can't believe Elon's last name is Musk

[spare pasture]

No action hero bs we do this smart

[sullen quarry]

[ebon pilot]

the most mil-sim-ish loadout i have. it looks ok

[frozen loom]

Looks bland.

Che Guevara

[spare pasture]

Oozes Romanian

[kindred flint]

honestly post rework breakaway is still fucking trash lol..the caps are so close on the oil rig, making it easier to control that section of map..vs spread out on fire west side

[spare pasture]

That’s the point

[hearty kiln]

Supposed to lol

[frozen loom]

Where's the clown makeup?

[sullen quarry]

Che Guevara

[spare pasture]

Nuh uh

[sullen quarry]

Che Guevara

Che Gue-

[sullen quarry]

They should make Battlefield man a skin

[ebon pilot]

Battlefield man?

[sullen quarry]

Partially on fire

The guy on the cover art of bf games

[tacit sphinx]

the vhx irons are so ugly god damn lol

dk what happened trying to spell that weapon name lol

[remote kiln]

[spare pasture]

Looks like he was in a firestorm

[ebon pilot]

That's Rao

[sullen quarry]

Map has a cardiovascular system

[wet plaza]

When new cosmetic comes to the store? Boring Fr

[sullen quarry]

Your mom's a Rao - sing

[calm bison]

It’s weird because AFAIK Rao has no skins that have fully covering gloves

[arctic grove]

Preferable imo to everyone looking like they're a well known member of a sport team

Wars aren't fought by celebrities

[mighty holly]

Rao truly is based

[arctic grove]

That's Irish

[ebon pilot]

Balidan, Tier 1, Ambushed, Firewall, Red Specter, Volatile

[calm bison]

Huh

[arctic grove]

All those guns look the same, scam if you ask me

[calm bison]

So which one is the one in the art cover

[arctic grove]

Balidan I think

[calm bison]

Probably

[arctic grove]

Ambushed maybe

[ebon pilot]

Cover art has camo on the pants

Balidan doesn't

[arctic grove]

Third pic probably

[sullen quarry]

Greetings

[calm bison]

Isn’t the third pic the S5 skin?

That has foliage on it

[arctic grove]

I don't know

[ebon pilot]

3rd pic has foliage yea

[calm bison]

So it’s gonna have to be Balidan

[arctic grove]

Chances are they changed the design of him after finishing the cover

[sullen quarry]

It's prolly not even Rao

[calm bison]

It is

Look at his backpack

[sullen quarry]

We're only looking at the uniform

[arctic grove]

I still think specialists were dumb

[sullen quarry]

Rao has the drip, yes

[calm bison]

@ebon pilot can we get a back-facing shot of Rao?

[sullen quarry]

But the face isn't Rao

[ebon pilot]

he has the helmet

[arctic grove]

🤨

[calm bison]

I had to word it carefully leave me alone

[calm bison]

Well I’ll be damned

[arctic grove]

Little more facing to the right

[sullen quarry]

There are closeups of the cover art guy and he looks pretty Caucasian to me

[arctic grove]

Oh god it's him

[calm bison]

Little to the left

[ebon pilot]

it's Rao

[arctic grove]

Look at those eyebrows

[calm bison]

Yeah look at his arm

[calm bison]

Perfection

[hearty kiln]

[arctic grove]

That's not what we're here for

[fresh lintel]

Thats the flattest cake ive seen

[sullen quarry]

Okay it is Rao

I am sorry

[frozen loom]

Sorry, not sorry.

[calm bison]

[sullen quarry]

What's 9 + 10

[hearty kiln]

[arctic grove]

Well anyways we need an easter egg gun

I had to be safe

[sullen quarry]

I don't know the answer actually

[ebon pilot]

what's "9" - 10 @sullen quarry

[sullen quarry]

I'm asking because I thought you'd know

[calm bison]

Ok so imagine you have 10 tons

Now imagine you hav 9 more tons

[sullen quarry]

1

[cunning plume]

.

[ebon pilot]

no it's -1

[sullen quarry]

[royal swan]

That's incorrect

[calm bison]

The person eats burgers backwards

[sullen quarry]

I am stupid

[royal swan]

-1

[arctic grove]

What's 9 + 10!

[ebon pilot]

what about "a" - 10

[sullen quarry]

I have a degree in stupididiot

[calm bison]

Nah I prefer “Model” - 10

[sullen quarry]

b

[calm bison]

With A as a coefficient

[ebon pilot]

3628809

[calm bison]

Yo the answer is bread

[sullen quarry]

Heyyy not fair you're using calculator

[ebon pilot]

what about "a" + 10

[sullen quarry]

I'm using 100% of my brain power

[arctic grove]

Ayyy someone knows factorials

S H O T G U N

[sullen quarry]

Off-topic! #general

[ebon pilot]

let's get back to business

what skin does Rao have in the cover

[arctic grove]

Alright so on the topic of an easter egg gun in 2042

[ebon pilot]

it's not balidan

[calm bison]

It’s gotta be balidan because there is no other cosmetic in the game that’s like it

Balidan at the very least has a camo design

T1 doesn’t

S5 doesn’t

[ebon pilot]

It looks like night ops but it doesn't have the gloves

[hearty kiln]

When are they gonna add other companions like the ranger? It's designated as it's own class like there's eventually going to be more

[ebon pilot]

so maybe they mixed and matched the gloves

[calm bison]

Probably

[hearty kiln]

I want robo cat or robo bird

[ebon pilot]

maybe the reveal trailer can tell us more

[arctic grove]

Hear me out

[calm bison]

It will forever remain an anomaly

[arctic grove]

They probably just put it in the cover without making it a skin

[sullen quarry]

Hello

[ebon pilot]

because Rao is in the reveal trailer too with the same cover helmet

but first I have to close the game because it's eating all my gpu

can't render the damn video

[sullen quarry]

I will now present you a rendition of the Battlefield theme in text form

[ebon pilot]

ok here he is

[arctic grove]

That's irish

[fresh lintel]

That's Chips Dubbo

[sullen quarry]

It's Joe

Cut specialist

[arctic grove]

Who's joe

[fresh lintel]

Joe mama

[sullen quarry]

[ebon pilot]

ok the reveal trailer is definitely Balidan

[arctic grove]

[sullen quarry]

AGGHHH damn it

[arctic grove]

I was right

[calm bison]

Heheheha

[fresh lintel]

[sullen quarry]

Rao was the main character all along

[fresh lintel]

Rao and his 6 eyes

[arctic grove]

Actually it's nicki minaj

[sullen quarry]

Where???

[arctic grove]

Wait this isn't CoD

[sullen quarry]

[fresh lintel]

Daaaaamn. I wanted a Nicki skin

[arctic grove]

Play call of duty

[ebon pilot]

This one isn't Balidan

[sullen quarry]

I just want to play as the generic soldiers

[arctic grove]

Call of DOGSH-

[arctic grove]

^

[sullen quarry]

[calm bison]

Yes but his gloves don’t cover his fingers

[arctic grove]

Why do fingerless gloves exist

[calm bison]

Extra grip?

[ebon pilot]

grip

[calm bison]

So you can use your phone?

[arctic grove]

Don't answer

[ebon pilot]

we need a dice employee to solve this for us

time to ping the dice role

[arctic grove]

Yeah guys at dice, why do fingerless gloves exist?

[calm bison]

@ Mixie

[arctic grove]

Like bro just use rubber on full gloves

[sullen quarry]

Drip

[ebon pilot]

WAIT

[fresh lintel]

I dont mind the specialists and skins. But the new Lis head is just 👁️👁️

[ebon pilot]

it can't be Balidan because the sleeves don't go all the way down to the gloves

[arctic grove]

Imagine Dozer with the wingsuit

[calm bison]

Look at the cover art

[patent pivot]

imagine Paik with china faction outfits

[sullen quarry]

Imagine a specialist with ALL the specialist gadgets in one

[ebon pilot]

sleeves to gloves

[sullen quarry]

Paik's Korean though

[calm bison]

We have nothing else

It has to be this skin

[patent pivot]

still

[calm bison]

At least in some capacity

[ebon pilot]

I refuse to believe it

[patent pivot]

their outfits looked way better than hers

[sullen quarry]

Cake

[calm bison]

Unreleased Cosmetics

[ebon pilot]

i'm going to ping gav

[arctic grove]

Same thing 🥶

[fresh lintel]

How bout they rerelease the Lis Skin 👁️👁️

[patent pivot]

how about increase the frequency of spec yelling

[sullen quarry]

Just add a Chinese operator

[arctic grove]

Just make landing on someone with the wingsuit kill

[calm bison]

I really like how none of the specialists are from countries that are looked down upon

Really great

[sullen quarry]

Can reveal all enemy position though spy sattelire

[calm bison]

It’s nice of DICE to do that

[patent pivot]

Chinese soldiers yelling in their language INTENSIFIES

[arctic grove]

Boris?

[sullen quarry]

You mean Mandarin Chinese?

[patent pivot]

OFC

what do you think ?

[arctic grove]

The several americans?

[sullen quarry]

smh my head

Uncultured westerners

-1000000 social credit

[ebon pilot]

Several?

[arctic grove]

Idk

[ebon pilot]

there's only one and his name is Irish

Mackay is Canadian and Dozer is Mexican

[arctic grove]

Really Mackay isn't American?

He's the biggest redneck looking guy in the roster

[ebon pilot]

Canada

[arctic grove]

Even got a trucker hat

[calm bison]

And the US isn’t really a hot water nation rn

The main joke was at Boris’ expense

[sullen quarry]

We going off of stereotypes now?

C'mon guys

[arctic grove]

People still give the US crap all the time

[arctic grove]

It's fine if it's against Americans

[calm bison]

I was making a joke that none of the specialists are from countries that are doing shitty things to other countries

The joke was primarily making fun of Russia

If you couldn’t tell it was a joke

It’s a joke

[arctic grove]

Well again
Irish?

[patent pivot]

forget about hearing other no pat speaking in English or Russia based on faction

let them speak in their own languages

[calm bison]

If the US invades a sovereign nation for no reason I will put Irish on this list

[arctic grove]

Yeah though boris is pretty cool

[ebon pilot]

it's fine if you're punching up, you can't punch down though

[arctic grove]

I'm American

I'm punching myself

[ebon pilot]

yeah that's ok too

[sullen quarry]

Funnily enough nearby specialists will speak Russian except yourself

[patent pivot]

I mean

you and other speaking differently is a perk for BF

but in 2042

it seems weird...

[arctic grove]

In 2042 it's weird how everyone speaks English exclusively

If its you

[sullen quarry]

Take your meds

-RU soldier

[patent pivot]

remember when BC2 has the option for Russian to use native or dub

that was cool

[ruby citrus]

Are prox sensors line of sight based?

[arctic grove]

Actually

Принимайте лекарства
-RU Soldier

[sullen quarry]

[ruby citrus]

t-ugs goes through walls and seems only area based but prox sensors dont spot shit

[patent pivot]

at least bf1 brought the native language back

sort of....

[sullen quarry]

Oh it's 5:38 AM

[arctic grove]

They did

[patent pivot]

I mean

[ruby citrus]

I hate the russian announcer so much in 2042

[patent pivot]

hm

[ruby citrus]

They hired american vas to do the best impression of a russian accent they can

[patent pivot]

yourself, you sometimes speak in English

idk

[ebon pilot]

which announcer

[patent pivot]

maybe not all fractions

[ruby citrus]

The characters are fully in their language iirc

[arctic grove]

And it's so annoying

[ruby citrus]

Ikr

Just do what bf1 did and have an english announcer with characters speaking their language

[pine roost]

I keep picturing the russian narrator as falck

[arctic grove]

Can't tell if its English or Russian because their accent is so bad

[ruby citrus]

Falck is german though

[next onyx]

I do like how they added static go the announcers.

[arctic grove]

I don't

[ruby citrus]

I prefer the british woman from bf1, that was peak announcer

[pine roost]

I know, but I still picture her behind the mic

[patent pivot]

was it necessary for bf 5 to have actual announcers

instead of bf1 indirect narrative

[arctic grove]

In 2042 they at least could've found out a way to have clear audio

At least except in tornadoes

[next onyx]

They had clearer audio at first which felt baseless.

[sullen quarry]

Taking objective Duff

[next onyx]

On bf5 in the alpha we had that.

But they got rid of which killed the atmosphere.

[patent pivot]

they have armed Apple

[sullen quarry]

Wtf Steve Jobs

[arctic grove]

I mean none is bad, but it is/ was a bit too much

At least before S5

[royal swan]

I got 57 kills with mcs880

New record

[sullen quarry]

So in BF1 we have a woman whispering in our ears

And have battlefront UI

[arctic grove]

Yeah

[patent pivot]

I chose male

[royal swan]

Gay

[sullen quarry]

Hey who removed my message

I did

[arctic grove]

Banned

[patent pivot]

or you know what makes this cooler instead? have the female only speak on one side

[royal swan]

Finished all missions

[patent pivot]

other side is male

[royal swan]

This week

[sullen quarry]

[pine roost]

Nah I want the female one

[arctic grove]

Better yet

[royal swan]

I'm at 39-40

On bp

[next onyx]

I should probably get some games in tonight.

[arctic grove]

Have the female speak into the left headphone and the male into the right

[ebon pilot]

plz no

[royal swan]

I love redacted cq

And I LOVE THE MCS880

don't nerf it

[arctic grove]

I love the pistols

[patent pivot]

The pigeon has been lost...

🐦

[royal swan]

Also 0.09 more until a 2 kd

[ruby citrus]

Like imo either go all in with the foreign language or dont do it at all, dont hire americans to fake a russian accent

[arctic grove]

Primaries 🤢
Pistols

[royal swan]

I'm rocking a disgusting loadout

I play Paik with msc880, with g57, and claymores

[arctic grove]

Out

Get out

[sullen quarry]

Oh the sun is coming up soob

[ruby citrus]

I run pbx over shotty

[arctic grove]

🤢

[sullen quarry]

Peace out y'all

[royal swan]

It's busted I know

[ruby citrus]

pbx is a laser beam even from hip

[patent pivot]

what would a modern warfare indirect narration sound like?

[arctic grove]

Whats that one iShotgun that got a massive buff?

[royal swan]

And I love it

[royal swan]

The mcs880, yep

[arctic grove]

Oh god

[royal swan]

Don't nerf it

[arctic grove]

How's the buckshot range?

[ruby citrus]

It used to be a peashooter now its actually good

[royal swan]

20m max

[ruby citrus]

Like 20m lethal range if all shots connect

[royal swan]

For one shot

It's inconsistent

[arctic grove]

One shot?

[royal swan]

2 shot for 30m

[ruby citrus]

Yes

[royal swan]

But it's inconsistent

[arctic grove]

30m isn't too far

[royal swan]

You will get either all health or 1/3 of health

[ruby citrus]

20 damage per pellet so 5 need to connect at 20m

[arctic grove]

How many pellets are there?

[ruby citrus]

i forgor 💀

[arctic grove]

How do you know damage per pellet but not how many pellets there are?

[royal swan]

The image includes 6 pellets, 7 pellets, and 5 pellets

[arctic grove]

Honestly we need a shotgun that shoots 20 pellets that do 5 damage each

[royal swan]

That's for the three buckshot shells

[ruby citrus]

Birdshot be like

[royal swan]

But they are put in different spread

[arctic grove]

How about flechettes?

[royal swan]

I don't think they were buffed

I should check

[arctic grove]

Would be funny if they 2 shot to 40m

[royal swan]

40m is where you can't do shit

[arctic grove]

Slugs

[royal swan]

Best is 10 damage

Slugs are still shit

[arctic grove]

Aw

[ebon pilot]

unless you're using it as a dmr

[ruby citrus]

To be fair 20m is alr stretching it in regards to video game shotgun balance

For buckshot that is

[royal swan]

It's slow as fuck compared to a dmr

[ebon pilot]

skill issue

[ruby citrus]

If you use mcs with slugs just run the winchester rifle instead

[arctic grove]

SVK with the Underbarrel

[ruby citrus]

Gpt gvt whatever they call it here

[arctic grove]

What about the Saiga with slugs

[ruby citrus]

Ngl i havent ever found a slug shotty that felt good to use in a shooter in general

[arctic grove]

Bf1

[ruby citrus]

Eh, disagree

Slugs also felt like ass in bfv

[arctic grove]

They could one shot at buckshot range but still one tap heads at mid range

[fresh lintel]

40m is where you cant do shit? Its like 3 shots with default buckshot with the MCS if i'm gettinf the range right

[ruby citrus]

To be fair 3 mcs shots gets you killed 10 times over by any smg/ar

It fires so slow

[fresh lintel]

Not if you peak quickly tbh

[arctic grove]

Smgs/ars op

2042 automatic weapon ban ☠️

[atomic sluice]

g428

[fresh lintel]

Its like Handcannons in Destiny, just peak corners and dip back into cover.

The damage you'll receive will be less than what you're pumping out

No pun intended.

[next onyx]

Slugs in bf5 ugh.

[royal swan]

40m is just not a good range

[next onyx]

They were fun though.

[royal swan]

You gotta get closer

[ruby citrus]

To be fair shotguns should be shit at 40m

[fresh lintel]

Gotta make do sometimes

[arctic grove]

It's like single shot low firerate weapons in shooters

[ruby citrus]

Video game balance and all that

[royal swan]

40m is where your shotgun is more of a tickle gun

[arctic grove]

Counterpoint

Bf2042 has massive maps

[next onyx]

I loved getting people when they were on the little heady and then they get hit by a shotgun. In this stage of bf5 we were all used to shotguns being buckshot so that split second of "how the fuck" was always worth.

[arctic grove]

Every other weapon type would kill further than 40 regardless

[fresh lintel]

The only shotgun that ahould have range is the MCS.

The 12m and Sorta NVK have too much for their ease of use.

[atomic sluice]

i might t1 the g428 just cuz of the skin

[arctic grove]

#letshotgunsbeop

[atomic sluice]

should i no life and do it

[ruby citrus]

While true, tactical category seems to be mostly situational weapons, shotties shine in shit like reclaimed redacted stranded etc but are unusable on more open maps like discarded

[atomic sluice]

ive never t1d a gun

not even t2

[royal swan]

Honestly I do miss the outrage outbreaks that "certain" people had when talking about shotguns

[arctic grove]

Then make fast shotguns and slow shotguns

[ruby citrus]

Bring back model 7

[arctic grove]

Fast shotguns for close range, slow shotguns for realistic range

[royal swan]

"They" would be fucking piss mad if they found out the mcs880 was buffed like this

But at least it's calm

[arctic grove]

Slow shotguns suck up close, fast shotguns can't shoot far

[ruby citrus]

Shotguns in video games always cause controversy

Theyre usually either overbearing or useless

[next onyx]

They usually fit faster paced games better.

[ruby citrus]

Battlebit devs flat out said no shotguns because they cant handle the hell that is balancing them properly

[royal swan]

Shotguns are never easy to balance

[next onyx]

If the ttk is quick then the shotgun itself shouldn't be too overwhelming.

[atomic sluice]

battlebit <

[royal swan]

That's why I love them

[atomic sluice]

battlebit is one of those games where everyone says its good and then it dies

[ruby citrus]

Its honestly still decent but it has an identity crisis

[atomic sluice]

i hate it

its so boring

[ruby citrus]

Its trying to be battlefield and arma at the same time and failing at both

[atomic sluice]

on god

[arctic grove]

Battlebit and 2042 are on opposite ends of the development graph

[ruby citrus]

Its too tactical for bf fans to enjoy it and its too arcadey for milsim fans

[royal swan]

Battlebit is at under 10,000 in player numbers

[atomic sluice]

should i t1 the g428

[hearty kiln]

Sounds like insurgency

[next onyx]

Yeah you should get it done lake.

Its pretty fun.

[arctic grove]

Battlebit - Starts great, ends up sucking
2042 - Starts sucking, ends up great

[atomic sluice]

on god

[next onyx]

I have it already.

[ruby citrus]

I still hold the opinion that battlebit maps >>> 2042 maps

We need more urban maps please

[atomic sluice]

how long does it take yall to t1 guns

i want to t1 the g428 but idk how long it would take

[patent pivot]

does BB have ocean?

[next onyx]

Takes me a day if I seriously invest.

[royal swan]

Some no lifes finish t1 day one

[atomic sluice]

just cuz the t1 skin looks amazing

[ruby citrus]

It does have a pacific theatre styled map

[patent pivot]

does it have carrier assault?!

[ruby citrus]

No

[patent pivot]

fuuuuuuuc

[ruby citrus]

I really like its urban maps though

[patent pivot]

what game modes does the game have

[arctic grove]

So I love slow ars with big range and louder sounds

[arctic grove]

Like a smaller bf1 artillery gun

[next onyx]

I'm just glad to see the m417 again.

[arctic grove]

What's the pick in 2042
