battlefield-2042

[proven igloo]

Understood, I will join the attack only meta.

Thanks.

[woven sonnet]

cringe lord honestly

just play the game

there is no meta you can do good with basically anything in a normal lobby.

[proven igloo]

Buddy are you really even playing the game if you're immediately getting exploded the second you spawn in?

Like, explain to me how one enjoys that.

[woven sonnet]

i played a lot of break through and i dont have that issue

[proven igloo]

Wow amazing, hasn't been my experience all night.

[regal lantern]

sniper on map border until its over

[atomic sluice]

is the mav or brawler betterr

[woven sonnet]

how many hours have u played

[proven igloo]

599 on 242.

1400 on BFV

2200 on BF4

[woven sonnet]

honestly skill issue then

[atomic sluice]

go outside bro

[proven igloo]

Just get a WFH job bro.

[regal lantern]

this guy is cringe af

def skill issue

git gud

[atomic sluice]

going outside is good for you

[regal lantern]

xDDDD

[woven sonnet]

its nearly impossible to go negative in this game

[regal lantern]

I wouldn't go that far

[proven igloo]

You assume K/D is the root of the issue?

[woven sonnet]

nah playstyle

[proven igloo]

It's the fact that is plain unenjoyable.

[atomic sluice]

what are yall even talking about ☠

[merry heart]

[proven igloo]

Originally, breakthrough being absolute ass for defenders.

[atomic sluice]

i only play conquest lol

[proven igloo]

Understandable.

[atomic sluice]

conquest is the goat

[woven sonnet]

breakthrough the best

[regal lantern]

yeah vhx is pretty deadly in close combat

aka broken

thank you for your attention

[kindred flint]

its a bullet hose out to mid range with the 40 round mag

[regal lantern]

yeh

[woven sonnet]

i like it

they should buff it

[regal lantern]

honestly just put 100 on damage number

and done

100 clip

[hardy crest]

sadly wish to unlock it attachments fast , but i am noob keep dying in redacted

[regal lantern]

imagine dying in redacted

bruh

[kindred flint]

Oh..redacted bt vs bots should be a good new farm for weapon unlocks

[gritty crown]

Got on again and my character is still looking down, lol.

[stone cradle]

Yes. It is

[limber orbit]

you got a controller plugged in? cus thats what my chars did when i had one plugged in lol

[hardy crest]

But still server gets full of players fast doesnt see anybots

[gritty crown]

OHH

XD

Lmao, thank dude.

😂

[kindred flint]

you start your own match as a private game

[limber orbit]

👍

[hardy crest]

Oh !!! I didnt know that and it will count kills and mastery etc !!!

[gritty crown]

Btw, you have to unlock guns and whatno, right? Wanna start playing this game more often.

Actually my first time playing a Battlefield game since 2142.

[kindred flint]

normally that stuff will only count up to tier 3, so its enough to unlock all the weapon unlocks

[hardy crest]

Ok ty , it shows now am on t4 on vhx

[stone cradle]

[limber orbit]

you do yes some of the guns require specific things but are easy to do

[stone cradle]

Damn

[stone cradle]

You sure missed alot, wow

[gritty crown]

It's cause I'm more of a sci-fi/futuristic shooter person. xD

[river silo]

My first time playing a battlefield at all (I had a few goes at BF4 on a friend's PS4 but not much)

[gritty crown]

Hell yeah

[stone cradle]

Oh fair. 2142 was great

[limber orbit]

luckily 2042 is near future lol

[river silo]

To be honest, other than cosmetics, buildings blowing up and a few of the gadgets, I think they're both pretty similar

[stone cradle]

I wish the game goes in that direction if we're getting another year of content

[gritty crown]

Yeah. XD it's why I bought it recently. 😂

[woven sonnet]

how do people enjoy redacted

[stone cradle]

Same reason people enjoy metro and Locker

[ember nimbus]

Never a dull moment

[limber orbit]

its good for a few rounds and thats it

[river silo]

is this a rhetorical question? since redacted is probably my favourite map

[limber orbit]

Perfect lol

[stone cradle]

I swear redacted changes your brain on how you treat BF. because after a few days consecutively playing it and going to something like Orbital, I struggled hard

I loaded my brain with too much cqc junk food

[limber orbit]

cqb and no vehicles changes your way of playing

[left hollow]

On redacted Irish is so useful

[ember nimbus]

It's a Dozer's wet dream

[woven sonnet]

no a actual its low skill spam game play thats why I am asking lol

[limber orbit]

those that know how to play dozer lol

[stone cradle]

Redacted is a good map but so far for me nothing has beaten Spearhead

[ember nimbus]

Yeah fair

[stone cradle]

My fav 2042 map so far

[river silo]

Mhm, it's one of (if not the only) the maps that's almost entirely close quarter's, and the lack of vehicles really changes the dynamic of the entire thing

[limber orbit]

some chaos is always nice

[slim marlin]

faster rate of fire

[river silo]

🤷‍♂️ I'm very bad so I can't really say anything, I always do equally poorly in every map

however I love playing it, it's so fun

[stone cradle]

I want a dense urban map now dice

[river silo]

easily one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had playing a game without friends

[stone cradle]

So bird players actually have to use skill to not crash into buildings while farming easy kills

And no camping tors

[limber orbit]

man an urban and suburban map would be goated

but that'll only happen in our dreams

[kindred flint]

its criminal they havent made one before this lol

[stone cradle]

I'd be fine with something even like Tehran from BF3

[limber orbit]

something that look like that place in the exodus trailer

[kindred flint]

a boat?

[limber orbit]

lol no

[kindred flint]

who would make a map just based off a single boat...

[limber orbit]

irish is on land

recovering something

[stone cradle]

Piccadilly circus would only work as a cqc map honestly.

[river silo]

I reckon they could have done a much better job with Hourglass

[stone cradle]

Which was where Irish was at the start of the cinematic

[limber orbit]

did you play hourglass before it was remade?

[river silo]

it seems far too open and linear at the same time, which makes it really annoying

[river silo]

nope literally just picked the game up a few days ago

[hardy crest]

Btw attachments meed more than tier 3 just wanted to let u know all the attcments

[stone cradle]

Absolutely. Siege of Shanghai but Qatar. Had potential

[limber orbit]

aight it was WAY worse

[stone cradle]

The trailer made me thing it was that

I was so hyped

Especially because I used to live in Doha

[river silo]

With the stadium and everything

[river silo]

same lmao

you have no idea how surprised I was to learn there's a Doha based map in this game

[stone cradle]

Yeah

[pine roost]

I thought it could potentially play out a bit like dawnbreaker, but nah. Snad

[river silo]

defo didn't expect to see the Lusail arches

[stone cradle]

Finally a proper middle eastern map that isn't some random rural village in ruins

[river silo]

way too much sand, way too little actual map

[river silo]

exactly lmao

imagine a dubai map with levolution on the burj khalifa and dubai mall

[modest ivy]

We burning something down?

[stone cradle]

Burj Khalifa leveloution would break the servers

[gritty crown]

My enemies!

xD

[river silo]

😭 some sacrifices are worth making

[stone cradle]

It could work but then dice has to throttle everyone's fps to 5 or something until the tower has fully collapsed lmao.

The map we got turned out quite different from the concept art

[limber orbit]

they usually do

since its concept art lol

[river silo]

yeah lol it'd really be a waste tbh, there would be far too much verticality in the burj khalifa anyways

[kindred flint]

ahh back when we still had hope

[modest ivy]

😮
where

[river silo]

an absolute catastrophe it didn't turn out like that

[limber orbit]

and now they scrapped the stadium

sadge

never actually seen the concept art for it

[kindred flint]

dice balancing at its best..just fookin remove it

[limber orbit]

that looks really good

[stone cradle]

But it would be so fun to go to the top floor and jump off that like in damavand

[kindred flint]

RBG city

[river silo]

yeah lmao, but I was mainly talking about how there are so many decks sticking out which could be used for sniping, the entire map would just be rained upon by campers

Unless.....they make it inside the burj and dubai mall

[fresh lintel]

Dunking on lobbies so hard entire squads start using the tunnels to escape you

[stone cradle]

If the city looked like that then I'd stay in it for the whole match. I'm a sucker for lit up cities at night

[river silo]

like the entire thing

they are absolutely big enough to manage it

I reckon a dubai mall-burj khalifa map would actually be really nice

since in reality they are pretty much one and the same building, their bases are joined together

[stone cradle]

The palm islands would be an interesting map to make

[river silo]

a nautical themed map

or hear me out

the world islands

[stone cradle]

Too spread out I'd say

[river silo]

abandoned before, the russians have taken over and established a HQ to do some stuff in secret

[river silo]

eh it could be toned down a bit

[stone cradle]

But something like that would be fun.

I always loved going on those boats to land on wake island during breakthrough in BFV

But imagine this time taking off at an air carrier on a transport heli

[river silo]

that reminds me, you know that hoverbike thing with 4 propellers? a few years ago the dubai police was testing that to determine its feasibility for use in crime fighting lol

was literally just watching a video about it when I realised "that's in 2042 now"

[stone cradle]

I remember that!

When I was watching the trailer for the season I kept thinking I saw the bike thing before somewhere on YouTube but didn't remember where lol

And then thought it was the Mandela effect or something

[dim crypt]

How would y’all rank the 4 assault classes?

[next onyx]

Err.

[misty portal]

zippy dude #1

[next onyx]

Sundance is definitely bottom tier.

[dim crypt]

Being playing a lot of Sundancer on redacted and it was quite free but wanted to swap it up a bit

[next onyx]

Dozer is good because of his flak jacket.

[dim crypt]

Is it just because of the zip?

[next onyx]

You can also organise pushes.

[dim crypt]

Why is that btw? I find her scatter nades kinda strong

[next onyx]

Maybe just me but their grenades aren't really that good.

[misty portal]

sure

[next onyx]

But that's just my experience.

[misty portal]

it means something

[dim crypt]

Ah ok. Maybe she just seems strong on redacted due to the cqc style

[next onyx]

Mackay is crazy strong. His grappling hook allows you to create angles and his passive, nimble. The extra strafe speed makes a massive difference.

[dim crypt]

Alright I’ll try him out for a bit

[fresh lintel]

The strafe tends to fuck me over more than the enemy sometimes lmao

[next onyx]

Zain comes with an airburst launcher that can nab multi kills behind cover. To remove pests without actually being there.

His passive allows you to recover health on kill. This allows you conserve your med pens and rewards decision making in the middle of a gunfight.

[dim crypt]

I didn’t know he could strafe faster I can’t read for my life 😭

[fresh lintel]

Well its ADS faster

Its QUITE the fucking difference too.

[misty portal]

unlucky

[next onyx]

I can show a clip of pre nerf zain to show what he can do.

[dim crypt]

Wait ads or strafe

Or both

[fresh lintel]

ADS

[fresh lintel]

My brains starting to feel that exhausted burn it does so 🤷‍♀️

[misty portal]

håkan helström

[dim crypt]

Sure would@be good but right now I’m assuming he’s below mackay and dozer?

[next onyx]

No.

Dozer is a bit more niche.

Sundance is niche too.

Zain and Mackay are the best assaults in the game.

[dim crypt]

Bruhhhh

[next onyx]

Dozer has more use than sundance in my experience cause his flak jacket in combat just cuts back on the chip.

The only thing they nerfed with zain is his ammo capacity on his airburst otherwise he is unchanged.

[stone cradle]

[dim crypt]

Ok I’ll try him out too thanks

[stone cradle]

Lmaoo I love how the bodies all flew in the air

[next onyx]

That was s3 launch by the way.

[stone cradle]

Like a cartoon

[fresh lintel]

Zain has the Sustain and the Anti Cover capabilities (Finishing off people who run into cover or straight demolishing a squad)

Mackay has that Mobility that when used right, can fuck a hold.

[dim crypt]

I also have 1k battlefield coins from progressing in the pass - should I splurge on Zain or mackay legendary skin or wait to buy next season pass

[next onyx]

There's a skin for him due to be released.

[fresh lintel]

You'll be waiting a long time for that next pass

[next onyx]

I'd wait.

[dim crypt]

Wait which one

[stone cradle]

16 weeks

[fresh lintel]

14 weeks now i think?

[kindred flint]

specialist skins are dumb cant see them in game

[next onyx]

Something something datamines I can't exactly answer that.

[dim crypt]

Buying it for that 3 second squad page at the start and at the end

[fresh lintel]

Buying it because it makes me feel better

[dim crypt]

Yh I know technically the right choice is to wait but damn 😭

[stone cradle]

We'll wait 16 whole weeks and then they come out with 2 new guns and 1 new map and go: "see you next time!"

[fresh lintel]

At least theres gonna be Exosuit skins

[next onyx]

I will admit.

[dim crypt]

Adds drip passive to my gameplay

[next onyx]

I want those skins.

[stone cradle]

Man, this game is so fun to play. But god does the content drip suck.

[next onyx]

They genuinely look good.

[fresh lintel]

I'd main Sundance for the exosuit skin

[next onyx]

Yep.

[dim crypt]

Are there images

[kindred flint]

thats why you just quit playing for a month or two

[next onyx]

No new content for 4 months.

[stone cradle]

Not a very hot take. Alot of people agree

[fresh lintel]

Yeah there are, theyre apart of anmode coming on tuesday

[stone cradle]

those skins are fire

[dim crypt]

Oh shit nice

[fresh lintel]

Dark Protocol or something, i cant remember already 🤭

[stone cradle]

I think I'm on battle pass level 50 now?

A few more weeks and I'll be done I guess

[dim crypt]

Oh are the skins showcased in the trailer

[stone cradle]

Then I'll dip till next season lmao

[fresh lintel]

Yup! And theres a reddit post

[dim crypt]

Gotcha thanks

Off I go

[old walrus]

NOOO

[dim crypt]

Holyyy shittt

Those skins are fire

Why did I even grind tier 1 sun dance

If all of them are earnable in some way and not bought

I would be mega happy

[stone cradle]

Not all of them are earnable

Only 1 is.

[next onyx]

You can still put the tier 1 sundance badge on your profile at least.

Plus you have the experience that came with playing as sundance.

[dim crypt]

I’m guessing sundance since cuz it says week 1

[stone cradle]

Yeah. 3 tier 1 badges on your profile is the best feeling

[dim crypt]

Ah true

[dim crypt]

Also true lol

[stone cradle]

Yeah the sundance one is the free one

[dim crypt]

Nice

[next onyx]

I still have zain's badge with the deagle and the alien on my profile.

[dim crypt]

That means I can splurge on falck

[dim crypt]

Damn nice

Deagle is a massive flex

[next onyx]

Hate mail and the card.

[dim crypt]

Mirage medic or new falck one

[stone cradle]

could always use more Falck mains around here

[next onyx]

Wait until it comes out and you'll see.

[dim crypt]

Loll

[bright canopy]

aight i got 7500 boins my body is ready

[stone cradle]

The new dawn skin

[dim crypt]

I honestly really like playing her but I can’t stand her skins I have

[stone cradle]

Even though its only useful on 2 maps

[bright canopy]

cyborg headgear + some uniform combos look really nice on Falck

and the event set is epic so you can also be a cyborg wearing an exoskeleton

Adam "Falck" Smasher

[stone cradle]

Yeah I saw someone do that on reddit.

It fits honestly

[bright canopy]

i use that rank 73 buff combat gear with yellow sleeves now

[next onyx]

I wish we could customise the eyes.

[stone cradle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/17id2r1/_/

[bright canopy]

used to wear the all black uniform but a streamer i hate wears that exact combo so it's forbidden for me to run that setup

[next onyx]

Cause I would combine falcks tier 1 helmet with the exoskeleton with the eyes.

Create this kind of abomination.

[next onyx]

Prove you're the better player.

But also I feel that.

[next onyx]

The bomb suit kinda thing?

[stone cradle]

The colour?

[next onyx]

Yes.

[stone cradle]

I'd make them blue

Like the geists

[next onyx]

Or at least a headpiece independent from clothing.

[bright canopy]

yeah, since it's also mostly black but the outfit itself looks distinct

big buff vest

[stone cradle]

I'm assuming they mean the one called 'war surgeon'

[bright canopy]

Falck turns into Dozer wearing that one

[next onyx]

I literally got tier 1 falck for that helmet.

It fits perfectly with the outfit.

[bright canopy]

shoulder pads and shii

The winter outfit also fits with the cyborg headgear oddly enough

because the facemask gets covered with snow on arctic maps

[stone cradle]

BFV level customisation would've been so good in this game

[bright canopy]

da boots

[strong snow]

Da boins

[next onyx]

Yeah that's a good point.

SHORTS.

That reminds me.

I dug up some old pictures I took on bf5.

[next onyx]

It looks so fucking stupid.

Jesus fucking christ.

[stone cradle]

Not as bad the elites

[next onyx]

Elites were fine though.

[stone cradle]

The 'phantom of the opera'

[next onyx]

I do wish we could customise them at least.

But have some bits of the outfit we cannot change like wilhelms' mask.

[stone cradle]

Yeah I'd love to use the gas mask from that one elite

[calm bison]

Yeah 2042 did character customization best

Although it always killed me that in BFV you couldn’t change the gloves without changing the torso

That shit sucked

Also what the hell was up with the Michael Jackson glove thing on The Scottish Play torso?

[next onyx]

Just a glove.

[calm bison]

But why wear only one

[next onyx]

Its probably just a battered thing.

[calm bison]

Eh maybe

[next onyx]

Like why wear a burned coat.

[calm bison]

Regardless

Gloves

I wanna customize them

[next onyx]

I ran burned because I genuinely loved it.

[stone cradle]

You prefer specialists over customising your own soldier?

[calm bison]

I meant in body customization

[stone cradle]

I love being support but I don't want to play as an old grandma.

[calm bison]

In 2042 you can only customize your Body and head

In BFV you can customize face paint, head, torso, and legs

And it leads to some batshit designs

[stone cradle]

I like that

Give the players choices atleast

Not. "Hey, you want to play support and heal? Sure. Play as grandma over here"

[calm bison]

I mean I agree with let us change our characters

But in terms of the stuff you put on a character it shouldn’t be as

Customizable

As BFV

[proven igloo]

I might have spent some money on cosmetics if it were like BFV.

Because I spent more than I probably should have... in BFV.

[stone cradle]

I disagree. I still find it funny how there's a war fought over between people who look exactly the same

That clip of 3 Mackays doing a takedown in a row comes to my mind

[frozen loom]

Aircraft nerfs this Tuesday. Pog.

[stone cradle]

For BFV atleast you'd have players who'd look completely different from each other

You can pick how they look which correlates how they sound and stuff. I like that

I hope we see something like it again for the next BF

Would be so cool if there was some EU faction in the next game

And you get to pick character presets that you get to customise. One for a man or women from each major EU country

[calm bison]

I appreciate that Nightbirds can now be damaged by smalls arms but towards jets?

[next onyx]

They could definitely treat the next game's soldiers like how they treat portal classes.

As in.

[frozen loom]

I am always for vehicle nerfs. Fuck 'em.

[proven igloo]

Jet's wont even feel the small arms changes.

[next onyx]

There's a distinct difference in lines between bad co 2 US assault and US support.

[calm bison]

I’m always curious for those who play Battlefield for just infantry

Like the main dynamic of Battlefield is combined arms warfare

[next onyx]

What if let's say the EU Assault was German, With EU Support being... French or dutch.

[frozen loom]

I play it to destroy vehicles as infantry.

[calm bison]

Eh fair enough

[next onyx]

I'm gonna spend the majority of my time as infantry I may as well enjoy it for what it is.

[frozen loom]

Can't wait to use LMG on light aircrafts.

[proven igloo]

Suppressor and subsonic ammo for maximum annoyance

[calm bison]

Jet go zoom

[copper ice]

it'll do less damage than AP rounds currently do

or it'll be bugged and do MORE damage than AP rounds currently do

[stone cradle]

People got spoilt with one ultra cqc map and now can't stand vehicles anymore

[copper ice]

[frozen loom]

AP rounds will devastate light aircrafts hopefully.

[copper ice]

i absolutely doubt it

[calm bison]

They definitely buffed the top speed of the jets without AB

[copper ice]

they are allergic to nerfing aircraft

[copper ice]

combined arms warfare to me means infantry can fuck vehicles just as much as get fucked by them

which in the recent battlefields has absolutely not been the case

[calm bison]

The US GI that almost got killed by an A-10 gun run reading that combined arms warfare is shit

[proven igloo]

I'm just not a fan of the infantry vs. vehicle balance, both ways in 2042.

Not very satisfying or fun.

[calm bison]

Also for a second here

BF4 will turn 10 years old tomorrow

[stone cradle]

remaster obviously incoming

[calm bison]

No but I will be blasting the theme as loud as I can the whole day

[proven igloo]

Still waiting on the Flashpoint remaster.

[stone cradle]

Hot take: BF3 main theme > BF4 theme

[calm bison]

Digital farts

[stone cradle]

[copper ice]

full agreement with this

i hope they balance it further

[woven sonnet]

love this balance change

10/10 work on this

[haughty helm]

Chilling bling

[slim marlin]

i miss bad company music so bad

bc1 music esp

now I get to listen to, as someone said, digital farts

[woven sonnet]

20m guys

W

[slim marlin]

scrub, you should have jumped and he would have missed

duh

[woven sonnet]

ya mb

[slim marlin]

balance

[woven sonnet]

should have known

[slim marlin]

nah for real tho I did that to a shotty guy earlier

kept getting me

then next time I saw him, I literally jumped like 5 or 6 times in a row and he missed every single time

bastard

[woven sonnet]

damn that freaking ACR dude thank god the nerfed the damage profile on that insted of this shotty

[slim marlin]

yeah acr was sooo OP

[haughty helm]

Maybe that enemy was using slugs?

[slim marlin]

slugs do 75 dmg max

and can'

t 1 shot you

[woven sonnet]

it says it in the clip buck shot

[slim marlin]

slugs are useless

[haughty helm]

True

[woven sonnet]

its factory like no attachments

lol

[slim marlin]

I swear the average tryhard could make more balanced weapons than through whatever garbage and useless analytics they must be using

[woven sonnet]

people dont know about this gap its free kills like every time

[slim marlin]

dev team prop saw too many ppl were using it, therefore its OP @woven sonnet

but seriously, some games do balance like this, like world of tanks

[woven sonnet]

yea def VHX is def more balanced 100%

[slim marlin]

so anything anyone uses for some popular niche reason gets nerfed for no reason

and stuff used more than others because the others suck, well the others dont get buffed, it gets nerfed

[slim marlin]

yeah this change just made acr less of a contedor vs it imo

[woven sonnet]

the acr was fine like it was in a good spot

this tho...

[next onyx]

What attachments are you using?

[woven sonnet]

vhx?

[next onyx]

Yes.

[woven sonnet]

I dont even know from the top of my head lemme check

[next onyx]

I should really og back to fusion holo.

Yeah I see the LWG grip.

[woven sonnet]

i be just throwing the same stuff on every weapon usually ngl

[next onyx]

Try the BCG stubby grip and the tac comp.

[calm bison]

Same

[next onyx]

Honestly Arcom and BCG stubby are the best you can do.

Without putting thought into it.

For every weapon.

[woven sonnet]

i was using arcom

[calm bison]

I just put the rattlesnake grip on everything

And that tiny red dot

[woven sonnet]

ya idk why i changed from the stubby i use it on most things

[calm bison]

Or that green triangle sight

[woven sonnet]

[next onyx]

Put tac comp on it.

It becomes even more accurate.

Feels illegal in a way.

[woven sonnet]

@next onyx seen this?

greatest clip of todays session

i shall try

tac comp

[kindred flint]

maybe like...dont be shit next time?

[next onyx]

Jesus.

Also.

Might want to lessen your reliance on the SPH.

I do have a fucked up 880 clip somewhere.

[kindred flint]

and i thought some fucker killing me from like 20m in 1 shot with that thing was bad..

[jagged wigeon]

i love u guys

[kindred flint]

100% didnt experience those shots when i was trying to use it

[woven sonnet]

ya ya TBF i was abusing it this game a lotttt usally i run c5 either way because of tanks and that

[jagged wigeon]

The holy Jesus

[woven sonnet]

also the main reason why I pulled the SPH out in that shot gun clip was because he was hiding behind cover waiting for me to push up so i tried to make him move but he kinda did before hand

while i was reloading

[next onyx]

Oh no that I understand.

[woven sonnet]

illegal

[next onyx]

Totally not excessive.

[woven sonnet]

but the acr is the issue rn

also nightbird

mhm

[next onyx]

I don't necessarily mind because I know they're trying to find a sweet spot with the new balancing.

Wait shit I resent it.

[woven sonnet]

like I am no pilot but I tried it a hand full of times and its hard like its not easy and like generally speaking if you got some good people with u its not that terrible against the avrg pilot

[next onyx]

Truth be told.

I'm kind of used to infantry fire because of hardline.

[woven sonnet]

me playing infantry only BT when ever its here

[next onyx]

They need to bring back flashback BT.

[copper ice]

slugs are literally pointless

[woven sonnet]

whats flashback bt

[next onyx]

They could even do redacted BT with a lesser player count.

[copper ice]

[kindred flint]

ayyy t1 g428

[next onyx]

Basically we had a playlist that only played Arica harbour and Noshahr canals on BT.

It was very, very fun.

16v16.

[woven sonnet]

I only got 130h on the game and I kinda just started in season 5 mainly also I never really played other BFs

[woven sonnet]

i see see

[next onyx]

Oh nah it was a playlist on this game.

Lemme pullup a highlight from it.

Arica harbour on BT was amazing.

[kindred flint]

@next onyx going right from the g428 to the vhx again..the AR is so much worse in terms of broken gun

[next onyx]

If it didn't have the accuracy I wouldn't mind it.

Found it.

[woven sonnet]

just buff the mcs again

[next onyx]

They played that round EXTREMELY well too.

We fucked up the final assault at the end.

[woven sonnet]

niceeee

[next onyx]

I'm a bit peeved in a way it wasn't a perfect 200 kill game.

But at the same time.

I'm glad I got this far.

[calm bison]

Also is it just me or is the EOR squad screen on every map except Redacted zoomed in?

[woven sonnet]

i got my highest kill game with the RPT somewhow

[calm bison]

Anyone?

[next onyx]

Erm.

[jagged wigeon]

how

[next onyx]

Gonna need to play the game to feel that Drey.

I just kill people, Rag.

[jagged wigeon]

[calm bison]

Well like in the final squad screen, on redacted it’s the normal size

I can see the full squad

But on every other map it seems like it’s zoomed in

[woven sonnet]

i dont even notice I tab out instatly after game

[merry heart]

idk why people like the T1 skin. it's not really that good looking.

[woven sonnet]

i only got one weapon and specialst T1

lol

[kindred flint]

THIS AR IS SO STUPID WTF

[merry heart]

which

[kindred flint]

vhx

[calm bison]

Hey Gecc, can you confirm something for me?

[radiant prism]

If my state of sobriety allows

[merry heart]

it's a great gun. me personally i like to run around with a suppressed setup so i can flank people

[calm bison]

Ok I’ll take that as a yes

So the EOR squad screen in 2042

Is it just me or is it zoomed in more than before

At least on every map other than Redacted

Because it seems like that

[radiant prism]

They did say there was a new EOR screen, but I can’t say for sure

I haven’t played much this week because I’ve been sick

[calm bison]

Eh fair enough

We’ll see if they fix it with the next patch

[radiant prism]

And tonight the first night I could play feasibly I’ve been drunk all day because Halloween college shenanigans

[kindred flint]

@next onyx ....105-14 and we won

with 125 assists as paik.....ok i got sweaty that one

[next onyx]

Kek nice!

[calm bison]

Yeah the VHX is pretty powerful

[uneven lodge]

what does the S[numbers] mean in someone’s name

[kindred flint]

1000% its more broken than the g428 lol..so i fully expect dice to nerf the DMR first

they are over level 100

so once you hit that you are s001

[calm bison]

They’re above rank 100

[merry heart]

it means Sweaty where the numbers denote to how many hours theyve wasted on their life

[calm bison]

243 for me

[uneven lodge]

so S310 means theyre lv410

[calm bison]

Basically

[slow tulip]

When does UPDATE #6.1.0 goes live? It says next week

[kindred flint]

tues?

[uneven lodge]

why doesn’t it show the levels in the tablist

is it to prevent people from leaving

[merry heart]

because DICE

[limber orbit]

lvls more or less dont matter

plenty of high lvls that play like fucking ass they just play the game a lot

[arctic grove]

[limber orbit]

wtf

[arctic grove]

I mean. It fits. Paik is from Asia.

[pearl ridge]

XP farms for sure

I’ve seen some guys with incredibly high numbers but the most incompetent game sense ever

[arctic grove]

Easy XP farms but not enough to level up bp tiers fast enough.

I hate the new XP system DICE put. Literally ruined it for me.

[limber orbit]

prolly

[pearl ridge]

I hate farmers in all forms.

Oh big whoop you’re a slave to meta, how about you actually try something different?

Never see any of them try the GVT or Ghostmaker

[slow tulip]

Portal is filled with xp farms rather than legitimate matches, they should nerf xp for killing bots

[uneven lodge]

what is the meta

[pearl ridge]

Varies with every patch

But they generally favour anything with a high fire rate and effective range

Oh and drum mags. These idiots love those.

[uneven lodge]

how is the ACW-R

in terms of meta

[kindred flint]

apparently good enough dice is nerfing it next week

[uneven lodge]

im stuck between using the ACW-R and AK24 because the former kills things really well for me but its ugly and the latter sounds and looks good but doesn’t kill things as well

[next onyx]

I never found it to be super problematic but probably to make it more linear.

[fast rain]

Payload on battlefield is so fun. Don't mean to change the subject but fuck whoever created this shit is right up there with the guy that created leggings.

[uneven lodge]

i saw the payload mode and had flashbacks to trying to get silver in ow1 lmao

[fast rain]

Hahaha right. It's actually really good. I was thinking "this is gonna be so weird"..but it actually plays very well.

[merry heart]

i never liked the payload game mode not gonna lie. ill only like it if the map layout isn't linear

[uneven lodge]

what guns will beam people

i see a bunch of VHX dudes and some GEW dudes in redacted

and also PP29

[merry heart]

DICE should bring the corny one-liners back into this game

[strong snow]

Oh god

[royal swan]

Seriously people of the battlefield community are more stupid and soft outside of discord

Hell soft ain't a good label, more like super thin-skin

[frozen loom]

Who do you know that's outside of discord?

[royal swan]

Nobody from here, except maybe one guy who lurks in the steam discussion

[frozen loom]

So, you're basing that thought on one guy?

[royal swan]

No I'm being on topic of who do I know in the bf community that's outside of discord

For knowing anyone outside discord in general of course I do but thats not information I want to disclose

[uneven lodge]

is it a common thing that people in SEA servers dont talk alot

like either in voip or game chat

[royal swan]

Nobody talks a lot in game

[hallow sierra]

especially on console cuz we all know why

[fast rain]

I talk on console every game.

[hallow sierra]

well

i got nothing to say about that

at least we get new end of round screens

[merry heart]

ok i see why paik is better than rao in certain situations lol

[royal swan]

Took long enough

[hallow sierra]

i forgot rao was in this game

[kindred flint]

same but with angel

[merry heart]

rao is good for what he does, but i found he's more preferable to be at a distance

also how far does rao's hacking tool go anyway?

[pearl ridge]

Varies. Infantry hacking goes out to over a hundred metres or something now

But vehicles are shorter, I'm pretty sure they even nerfed it

[royal swan]

Damn I love when the game black screens 🥹

[ivory canopy]

Bog standard for 6.0

Protip: if graphics start appearing as invisible, your game will crash on the transition to the next match / main menu.

Basically, it's the sign you gotta Alt+F4 as soon as the match is done

[merry heart]

just tested it. it's 50m

lel

[crisp wolf]

where is everyone playing? every conquest map i join has 0 players

[merry heart]

roughly 50 to 75 i think

[crisp wolf]

do people not play conquest anymor or?

[pearl ridge]

Astounding how this game is experiencing record highs in player numbers but it still can't fill a server

[crisp wolf]

yeah where is everyone playing lol?

[pearl ridge]

Redacted, probably

But also the matchmaking is shit

[crisp wolf]

every mode i join is an empty server

[arctic grove]

When is event live

[jagged wigeon]

guys

how u keep playing till u have a lot of red things

how u keep that motivate inside u

[merry heart]

you give up on life

[jagged wigeon]

straight answer

[limber orbit]

lol empty servers sounds more like a skill issue

[final lintel]

i gave up on being anything in life at like 10

im just coasting. honetly at the ripe age of 21. this (hopefully) is my midlife crisis

[jagged wigeon]

[limber orbit]

[jagged wigeon]

[final lintel]

oh no. ya boi lives in the first floor of a 1 level home with the parents. to expensive to leave this shit nowadays

[limber orbit]

penthouse basically

[jagged wigeon]

so this lead to sadness

[final lintel]

well no its an actuall house on its own land.

[jagged wigeon]

If u can do first all ur duties and go outside, taking care of urself , and then playing video games , u will feel better, but i can't do this

[limber orbit]

skill issue

[latent widget]

Season 7 will be announced eventually because I know, because I am me.

[final lintel]

duties, never heard of her

[jagged wigeon]

i am so addicted to the internet and video games

[jagged wigeon]

No

we will hear about it in Jan 2042

[latent widget]

We have ideas until season 10.

Then no more.

[jagged wigeon]

Bro , u are japanese

[latent widget]

And the next game comes out.

[final lintel]

[jagged wigeon]

i think season 7 will be the final

[mighty holly]

Chapter 2 season 12 will be the final one

[jagged wigeon]

My brother in asatru

7 is the end

[latent widget]

It will be nice to showcase the new engine for the next game that will be released.

[final lintel]

[mighty holly]

2042 for ever, 2042 adventures, 2042 for a hundred seasons , battlefield 2042 for life

[mighty holly]

2042 remaster

[final lintel]

please no

[latent widget]

How about no.

[mighty holly]

Fr tho wish 2042 would end

[final lintel]

hopefully no more future bs that feels like cod

[royal swan]

Nah keep this boat floating

[jagged wigeon]

I honestly found the speed movmenets in bf2042 is MUCH better then bf1/5

But if they just fix the roblox graphics = it will be better

it can be fixed in a patch or update but they don't want to ,

[final lintel]

we need more griddy bfs, not this goofy ass future playground

[midnight mesa]

just touch up the animations then boom

perfect

[jagged wigeon]

dat intro music when u start the game and running

[royal swan]

Battlefield hitting the griddy?

[final lintel]

yooooooooooooo, he widerwawy hiddin da gwidy

[limber orbit]

literawy hitting the gwiddy

[royal swan]

Man I want my specialist to hit the griddy on the new best squad feature for everyone in the match to see

[jagged wigeon]

who is urs

This is mine

[royal swan]

Gotta give it to Mackay

So many hours on him

[final lintel]

same lol, normie pick

[jagged wigeon]

@midnight mesa @royal swan and me , we are so close to get the platinum in the game

[limber orbit]

on him?

[jagged wigeon]

only very few trophies left

[limber orbit]

hot

[royal swan]

For achievements

[jagged wigeon]

yes

[royal swan]

It's going to impossible for me

Hazard zone is dead

And I'm not good at games like hazard zone

[jagged wigeon]

yeah it's hard

[rare bridge]

kinda hate how long it takes to finish a game

do u lose out on anything if you leave the game when its about to go into the finish screen?

[robust vapor]

M240B isn't bad

[white geyser]

Hazard zone is dead it’s nothing but a ripoff from escape from tarkov. They should have tried something else to make it work but nope instead they gave us a ripoff

[final lintel]

go in boy

hipfire lol

[thorny oracle]

Can someone dm me I can't send my stats here

[strong snow]

[thorny oracle]

[strong snow]

[thorny oracle]

How do you not die what the fuck

[uneven lodge]

he didn’t get the chinese or koreans

[thorny oracle]

Lmfao I'm wheezing

[midnight mesa]

Impossible with the way hazard zone is

I’ll try playing hazard zone but man

You need friends to play it

And actual lobbies

[uneven lodge]

i wish i could play infantry breakthrough but i cant get any games

[robust vapor]

I'm fighting newbies mixed with sweats

Just some luck

[frigid cedar]

i dont understand the +20, +40 meters for suppressors

like, eh, how does it work

Like, when it says 20+ meters, does that mean that beyond that point im detectable? or WITHING that range im detectable?

[thorny oracle]

._.

[pine fossil]

hi all, quick question: are shop items cross plattform? I've played the game on PC but moved over to xbox now, progress did carry over, but my BF points for the shop did not. If I buy the new battlepass on PC, will I be able to use it on xbox?

[pearl ridge]

It means you come up on the minimap within that distance

[frigid cedar]

so the lesser the number on the suppresor

[pearl ridge]

Using subsonic ammo with a regular suppressor halves the distance

[frigid cedar]

the better

[pearl ridge]

Yea.

Subsonics on a heavy suppressor completely hides you

[frigid cedar]

nice

is ac42 any good

for stealthy picking?

[robust vapor]

Yes

It functions like a DMR

[frigid cedar]

are there any better alternatives?

[pearl ridge]

The BSV has a higher per shot damage and can swap to automatic fire, along with close combat ammo for higher fire rate and magazine size

So it basically does both DMR and AR roles

[frigid cedar]

wait so, if the wrapped suppresor is close range, then y dfq is it worse at hiding me

in said close range

if i understood correctly, im visible further out with it

[pearl ridge]

Suppressors either affect damage falloff or projectile velocity

The wrapped suppressor is better because at the ranges you’re working at, velocity doesn’t matter that much

[frigid cedar]

yea but 40+m

[pearl ridge]

It also stops you from appearing on the spawn screen

Without a suppressor you appear at any range

[frigid cedar]

this some dumb shit

[pine fossil]

does anyone know whether or not the battlepass is shared across platforms? from what I know "cross commerce" was basically advertised but EA forums and reddit posts make it look like it was not actually working (around 1ish year ago)....anyone know more about this?

[opal compass]

@next onyx y know somethin about this?

[naive quiver]

I don’t think BP can be used across platforms

As far I know call of duty can

[sullen quarry]

why do i get some red error code when i try to host on code

Lmaoooooooo git gud

[azure zenith]

🤣🤣🤣

[azure zenith]

Right lol

I was so mad, not even happy I broke my personal record and we won the match. I'm all butt hurt at myself for not getting a hundy. Lmao 😂

[azure zenith]

Some portal aren't working right. Aim trainer was down for a little bit.

Give me that emoji pls

[half shoal]

hi. after every match when i go to the main menu i get a black screen

[thorny oracle]

hi

[frozen loom]

[robust vapor]

Windows Key + Tab and close the game client

Your progress is saved

But you'll need to relaunch the game

[half shoal]

i know but it's annoying, basically after every game i restart the game

[robust vapor]

There's no complete solution for this

[half shoal]

people are having this issue 2 ?

[sullen quarry]

I never face this issue. Because I never get anywhere near 100 kills.

[azure zenith]

😂

[sullen quarry]

[chilly harbor]

I paid too much for this robot solution on the secondary market without full functionality

[frozen loom]

Because I have eyes.

[arctic grove]

I thought it was op?

[slim marlin]

@next onyx i was proud of a game I had earlier, joined a game, team is barely holding A on redacted, I flank to the other side of the map with a few randos, we cap D, cap C...cap B..??? And fucking win.

[frozen loom]

Meh to me.

[slim marlin]

Was like 24-3 or some shit like that at the end

I was fucking sure we were going to lose that game when I joined in and saw it

[slim marlin]

GEW46 with the new skin

wow my human k/d is 1,89

guys, that excludes ai, right? or am I wrong

58% win rate solo...not too shabby imo

[ebon pilot]

yes that excludes AI, that's why it's called human KD

[slim marlin]

Is it worth actually trying to aim to get headshots? I am used to just center mass but now I'm wondering if I need to try to improve my aim in this game

[robust vapor]

Yes

Aim heads

[slim marlin]

yeah I was wondering if it includes vehicle kills or not

[robust vapor]

You might save a bullet or 2

[ebon pilot]

vehicles destroyed are a separate stat

[slim marlin]

yikes if that actually works (imo was super unreliable in most games I played)...I'm already doing well as it is...

[ebon pilot]

Some weapons you really gotta aim for the head with. The M44, GVT, all the snipers, they all do 1 shot headshots in their proper ranges.

but most other weapons it isn't required

[slim marlin]

damn I have to reset the stat thing manually?

I liked how WoT stats you could just install a deal and it'd auto update

[slim marlin]

deagle too right?

[final lintel]

its a fast 2 tapo body so not always necesary

[ebon pilot]

yeah but only within like 10m

[slim marlin]

maybe I should just aim a lil higher than I normally do - though its just instinct so I'm not sure precisely where I am usually aiming

[ebon pilot]

M44 is a insta within 100m

[slim marlin]

jesus fuck it really is a pocket sniper

[final lintel]

indeed

[slim marlin]

ive just been running g37 burst with a drum

[ebon pilot]

#battlefield-2042 message

[next onyx]

Some weapons require headshots more than the other but headshots as a whole are very useful.

To edge out a gunfight.

To survive a surprise encounter.

[slim marlin]

btw sany of the pdws competitive other than pbx or pp29

[next onyx]

AC9 is ok as well.

[slim marlin]

yea I saw some fellow sweats using it on redacted

[next onyx]

But since true SMG's HS multiplier is scuffed you may as well just go AM40 and VHX.

[slim marlin]

yea

[final lintel]

v30 is good within 10m, but after that the recoil and accuracy leave for milk and cigs

[slim marlin]

I wish the AKS was good

they should at least give it AR HS multiplier

lol

if they want to make it different

intermediate rounds afterall

I miss cod4 where the 74u was competitive

[slim marlin]

under specialists is that only humans as well?

cause it says I have a 5 kd with falck

[ebon pilot]

probably

[slim marlin]

I guess I've only used her recently

but thats still higher than expected

closest to her is blasco at 2.3kd

maybe having a med bag is a lot more powerful than I think lol

So is DICE ever going to fix the spawn imbalance on Redacted? I see US side cap C before RU has even gotten to B?

[robust vapor]

Keep in mind

That value right there is your cumulative KD overall

[pearl ridge]

That’s going to require a full rebuild.

One side has a much straighter line to run

[robust vapor]

From your very first kill in game till the latest

[slim marlin]

right, I wanted to check recent stuff

[robust vapor]

And then the system calculates it

[slim marlin]

so its def significantly higher now

[robust vapor]

Your per match basis KD is different each game

[slim marlin]

I know

but I sucked badly when I first started playing

so I'm surprised the total is that high

[robust vapor]

That's normal

[slim marlin]

this was my first PC pvp FPS

before that it was xbox

[robust vapor]

The bad thing is that the system also counts bots as kills in your stats

[slim marlin]

you mean for all stats but 'human k/d' ?

like the specialist stats

[robust vapor]

Your full KD

Which includes bots

Let's say your kd is 3.5

60% of 3.5 is bots

[slim marlin]

I see, so human k/d includes bots

that explains it actually lol

👍

[robust vapor]

It's a pain to calculate all this cause it takes a daunting amount of time

[chilly jacinth]

Or just go to #stats

And it does it for you

[slim marlin]

im trying to figure out to what extent bots are effecting the stats basically

[chilly jacinth]

It tells you

My kd with bots is 3.11

And without 3.08

[next onyx]

@robust vapor

[slim marlin]

sorry I'm blind and didn't see one of them, yeah its 1.89 vs 2.31, damn well, still higher than I expected for overall stats!

[rare bridge]

does anyone know a good guide to start learning how to pilot well with mouse and keyboard?

[slim marlin]

I'm way better now than I was at first

[rare bridge]

im just playing by my self but tbhj i dont feel like im getting any better

[slim marlin]

classic

I do that too

climb up there

[naive quiver]

Very skill issues

[pine fossil]

does anyone know whether or not battlepass is shared across platforms?

[tacit sphinx]

it’s a bit of a dumb system (implemented by the tracker people, not DICE) because it only takes into account bot kills and not bot deaths + like it’s imo weird to be like “uh yeah these don’t count even though it was an actual multiplayer match”

[rare bridge]

its like learning how to drive

i need a guide for the basics

or im just gonna level up my bad habits

[slim marlin]

yea crawford is 2.75, only started to use him after the patch where now he can get 3 rpgs instead of 2

[robust vapor]

Mine on another level of tomfoolery

[tacit sphinx]

like i understand wanting to discount co-op matches or portal AI stuff but it’s not done well lol

[next onyx]

hahaha what

[slim marlin]

deaths by bots in real matches, you mean?

[slim marlin]

dude just fucking left

[robust vapor]

Told ya D0k casually landing on people's heads

Now I know that you can actually stand on people and not drop off

In BF1 you're able to vault over players heads

[slim marlin]

based

[robust vapor]

Yeah I do that all the time cause I ain't waiting for you to move

[chilly jacinth]

I mean realistically how many times do people actually die to bots

I can count my deaths on one hand

[slim marlin]

^more work for miniscule stuff I guess

[tacit sphinx]

if you end up in the odd half bot lobbies they occasionally fuck your shit up ngl
