battlefield-2042

[ruby citrus]

24 hours from purchase?

[forest rapids]

anyone knows how to fix bfv crashing a few seconsd after launch?

[ruby citrus]

no playtime rule?

or 24 hours playtime

[still vault]

within 24 hours playtime within the first 14 days

[ruby citrus]

thats like really damn generous wow

[still vault]

https://www.ea.com/great-game-guarantee

[ruby citrus]

you can finish some singleplayer games in that time

mirrors edge or something

[untold scroll]

sad

[ruby citrus]

steam really needs to increase their playtime rules because just sitting in a main menu troubleshooting with the settings eats away at the time

I have some games that i literally cant run and cant refund because i exceeded the playtime mostly just trying to fuck around with the settings

cough star wars jedi survivors, probably the most unoptimized game this year besides maybe starfield

[patent path]

you can still get a refund past the 2 hours, but you have to explain the situation to them so yeah, still a hassle

[ruby citrus]

I tried, but I got rejected

[patent path]

damn

[ruby citrus]

guess its gonna sit in my library until i upgrade my pc

to be fair sort of on me for having a 7 year old cpu kekw

[past spire]

I got a refund for sekiro 2.4 hrs in

said it was “too difficult” I rlly just didnt like the game 😭

[ruby citrus]

i guess it depends on if you get an auto reply or if an actual person checks your message

[frail sentinel]

was thinking of getting that is that the dark souls type game

[ruby citrus]

sekiro is probably my favorite soulslike

but yeah its HARD

spent like 3 hours on the nameless king style boss of that game

[past spire]

yeah its a dark souls x samurai game

[ruby citrus]

its basically dark souls but instead of dodge rolling you block/parry stuff

[frail sentinel]

i still havent played elden ring and i want the new lords of the fallen game

[past spire]

I didn’t like the fight mechanics, that you needed to break stance and stuff all the time. it felt too difficult

[ruby citrus]

imo if you want soulslikes first play fromsofts library of games

3rd party soulslikes i only liked remnant 2, but even that was like okay at best

planning to get gamepass for lies of p eventually

[frail sentinel]

have you tried code vein? kinda anime style dark souls its good completed it

[ruby citrus]

i tried it, didn't vibe with it, refunded it

[next onyx]

Oh yeah I remember that.

[frail sentinel]

same makers as dark souls im sure

[ruby citrus]

steams refund policy doesnt really allow much experimentation, 2 hours and all that

[next onyx]

I wanted to give it a go but forgot about it.

[past spire]

you needa try it

[ruby citrus]

nah code vein aint fromsoft i think

[past spire]

I’ve never played or liked a dark souls game but I have over a hundred hours on that game

[frail sentinel]

elden ring or lords of the fallen?

[ruby citrus]

elden ring is their magnum opus, but i still prefer sekiro honestly

[next onyx]

Unrelated but hollow knight is worth a go if you'd like a challenging game.

[ruby citrus]

elden ring easily 2nd lace though

[frail sentinel]

hollow knight the 2d dark souls type?

[ruby citrus]

that one parkour section that had the three dozen sawblades n shit was harder than any dark souls boss

[past spire]

elden ring, I’ve heard negative stuff abt lords of the fallen

[frail sentinel]

i played the first lords of the fallen i thought it was really good

[ruby citrus]

i wanna grab game pass at some point and then no-life lies of p + hi-fi rush in one month

two games for 10 bucks, sounds like a steal

not gonna do it during exam period though lmao

[copper ice]

hollow knight has a lot more platforming but it's fights are very 2d soulslike

[next onyx]

Path of pain.

I haven't bothered with that.

One thing that lends hollow knight well is that it's very simple.

[ruby citrus]

yeah path of pain is torture

[next onyx]

I practiced nightmare king Grimm to the absolute end.

[ruby citrus]

everything else with that game is mostly okay

[next onyx]

I grinded him out so many times cause I wanted to do it perfect.

He was so much fun.

[ruby citrus]

he was optional right?

[next onyx]

Only part I dislike is absolute radiance.

Yes he was.

[ruby citrus]

yeah yeah i remember that fight being really fun

[next onyx]

But his fight was absolutely the best in the game.

[ruby citrus]

i remember burning 3.5h on demon of hatred in sekiro only to find a cheese method that throws him off an edge in 30s just after killing him legit

[next onyx]

Then you go back to his regular form and you get hit over and over because he's so damn slow.

[ruby citrus]

the monkey in sekiro is the breaking point on if you finish the game or quit tbh

[next onyx]

Monke

[ruby citrus]

phase 1 is genuine torture, the movement is so erratic and crazy

[untold flower]

isnt it 1 hour

[next onyx]

Dogs and monkeys are pain in souls games.

[ruby citrus]

im 95% sure its 2 hours

"What can I request a refund for?
Valve will, upon request via help.steampowered.com, issue a refund for any title that is requested within 14 days of purchase and has been played for less than 2 hours (this includes online, offline and shared library playtime). Even if you fall outside of the refund rules we've described, you can submit a request and we'll take a look at it."

https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/5FDE-BA65-ACCE-A411

[past spire]

its 2 hrs but I refunded a game that had 2.4hrs on it

[ruby citrus]

it needs to be at least 4 honestly

2 hours is not enough time to get a grip on some games

esp if 30 mins goes just by navigating menus

[untold flower]

i stand corrected

[copper ice]

sometimes they're more generous

[ruby citrus]

i had 3 on jedi survivors just by messing with the settings trying to make it work and they said "no lmao"

again it prolly depends on the mood of the tech support guy

how the fuck am i going 45/15 on 128 conquest with my framerate dropping by 20 whenever i fire a gun lmfao

[rotund kite]

jett, can you post a screenshot for me?

[ruby citrus]

being a filthy g42 paik player probably helps

[untold flower]

ok

[ruby citrus]

ok why is the 2.5x scope so good

it has such better visibility compared to the acog wtf

why didnt i try this sooner

[copper ice]

thermal

[untold flower]

nice sundance skin

[ruby citrus]

the non-thermal

[copper ice]

pain

[deft tinsel]

how 2 play as engineer

at weapons feel like peashooters

[lone void]

Use the LCMG or RPT-31, very good

[ruby citrus]

killing a tank is a team effort, recoiless m5 does 25-27 damage on hit, javelin does 41

id argue learning lis, she is by far the best engineer

tip, increase vehicle sensitivity to 100 when using her

lis has an automatically recharging manually guided missile which bypasses all countermeasures except APS

[deft tinsel]

people are treating this like large scale tdm

i understand if someone doesn't want to play as engineer, but ffs at least drop ammo

[ruby citrus]

its why lis is so good, automatically recharging means you dont rely on supports for ammo

also, she one shot kills smaller helicopters and jets

[deft tinsel]

yea but it still takes time to recharge :/

[ruby citrus]

but they ARE hard to hit

[deft tinsel]

for the future bf, i hope ranking up and unlocking stuff also depends on how much you actually play the class lol

more so than now

something must be done to force people to teamplay

[lone void]

Or just any other weapon tbh, assault rifles can't go wrong

[deft tinsel]

i meant the AT weapons

anti tank

i'm using the avancys or whatever it's called, feels decent

[lone void]

Won't help, people will just end up maxing one class and not looking at the others like they used to

[lone void]

Oh yeah they're just shit tbh

[deft tinsel]

maxing one class should still force them to play the role of it

[lone void]

If you want vehicle kills you just gotta steal them from someone else trying to get it

[deft tinsel]

hell even if it's some sniper hanging out at the border of the map, spotting stuff should matter way way way more in that case

so tie his progression with the amount of spots, insertion spawns etc

[lone void]

People will always find a stupid way to game the system and level up without being useful

For some reason

[deft tinsel]

true but still, dice should do their absolute best to force ppl

to play their role

[lone void]

You'd love to see it

[deft tinsel]

but with the way it's a complete afterthought in 2042

not sparking any hope for the future

[lone void]

At least the specialist mastery requires you to kinda play them how they're intended, which in turn corresponds to their class role

Assault are all going for kills and being aggressive, engineer all utilise their gadgets, support all support and Recon spot things (or anti-spot if you're Blasco and you're special)

Recon can probably afford to be more selfish than the others

[topaz abyss]

i play as recon but i push in and not snipe like others i play aggressive with casper

placing beacons and motion sensors down behind enemy lines no matter what game mode

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 2042 sucks, we're all on Shatterline now

[frozen loom]

Have fun with 420 players.

We'll just be here with 116x more players.

[versed tundra]

Yes

[carmine minnow]

420 players AND it's free

💀🙏

[arctic grove]

[frozen loom]

420 players and it's been almost 15 months since it released.

Almost 30 new players each month gained.

[arctic grove]

going to make a comeback soon

[frozen loom]

[past spire]

420 players is a dead game

[frozen loom]

At least they got the weed meme.

[arctic grove]

BF2042 had 1,000 players at some point

and everyone said it was dead

[limber orbit]

people keep saying it is lol

[past spire]

I guess it made somewhat of a comeback then

[frozen loom]

5 AM is dead time for all games and yet BF 2042 had 48.8k concurrent players on during it.

[limber orbit]

never heard of shatterline

only know it exists now cus it was posted

[frozen loom]

It released back in Sept. 2022.

Made by Frag Lab LLC and it's their first game.

[ruby citrus]

im honestly shocked how the 2042 player count didnt drastically drop

[past spire]

it had like 100k players yesterday i think

[ruby citrus]

titanfall 2 had a big revival and a big sale and it died off again back to standard in a few months

[past spire]

and prob way more on xbox

[ruby citrus]

i stopped playing it because only sweats remained and every lobby was people with 800 hours more than me

[frozen loom]

https://steamcharts.com/app/1517290

[naive quiver]

[frozen loom]

This man's expression is as bad as DarkViperAU.

Potato looks and expression.

[past spire]

there are enough br games

[frozen loom]

No sense in creating more when you already have the perfect one still kicking.

Apex Legends.

[bleak flint]

But 2042 had like 100k players a month ago

[frozen loom]

That was the new season.

The game is only $10 right now.

[bleak flint]

Yeah

Its fun to play when you have a squad

Or a friend you can play with

[frozen loom]

I always solo'ed it since I got it mid-2023.

[gloomy otter]

bro they removed tracer dart from aow?

[rotund kite]

I saw this haha
when he just stared the camera and said nothing I just started laughing lol

[rotund kite]

just imagine a BR where there's a tank/helis/jets randomly in the map... -_-

I don't know why people think a BR of battlefield would be any good

[frozen loom]

You mean Call of Duty Warzone?

[rotund kite]

warzone has no choppers and tanks has it?

I never played it

[past spire]

i’m just playing 2042 until a new bf game comes out

[bleak flint]

Same

[rotund kite]

3

[past spire]

I’m rlly playing it bcs its cheap and its kinda fun

[still vault]

no, pick a recon specialist

[ruby citrus]

marking someone is more or less useless though

at least run rao so you disable their stuff AND soflam them

soflaming ground vehicles is useless because you can just aim a recoiless anyway, only time its good is for javelins which no one runs
soflaming air vehicles is also useless cuz they pop flares and go haha fuck you im invulnerable

[bleak flint]

2042> Cod mw3

[ruby citrus]

cod games in general are just too damn expensive

[bleak flint]

People only buy it cause its cod

[ruby citrus]

i get a battlefield game for 5 bucks on sale and its gonna last me 3-4 years

[bleak flint]

Fr

[ruby citrus]

i buy a cod game for 70 dollars and it becomes a ghost town by the time the next one comes out a year later

[bleak flint]

Agree

[ruby citrus]

i like cod, i think its fun, but sbmm and the insane pricing made me go away from the franchise

[bleak flint]

What gun is good tu unlock on 2042

Like what are the best guns

[ruby citrus]

the current BP guns are the strongest in the game arguably

vhx-d3 and g42

[bleak flint]

What level i need to be to unlock them

[ruby citrus]

other strong guns are bsv-m, lcmg, ac9

[ruby citrus]

you can check the bp i honestly forgot, it think g42 is like 45 and the vhx is like 18

[bleak flint]

Alr tnx

[untold flower]

mp9

best gun

[bleak flint]

That shi is ass

[ruby citrus]

mp9 is like the worst smg lmao

the bloom on that gun is disgustingly bad

you cant hit a blind bat past 30m if you mag dump

[bleak flint]

Is that mei mei on yo pfp

[ruby citrus]

shadowheart

[slow tulip]

Bf2042 have like 48k Players and bf5 have 102k players right now

[ruby citrus]

honestly i tried bfv again and the ttk is just too much for me to handle

its even faster than 2042 which i alr consider fast

also tanks are disgustingly broken

[slow tulip]

But the game is overall better than bf2042

It has the features that made battlefield, battlefield

[ruby citrus]

map design is by a mile better, yeah

but i like having all guns on all classes, and the gunplay in 2042

[slow tulip]

Like destruction, old familiar classes

[limber orbit]

uu indeed it has a lot of players might have to jump into bfv again for lil bit

[slow tulip]

Progression was overall better than bf2042

[ruby citrus]

those mastery missions were AWFUL, i disagree

some shit like get 50 defensive kills in a single round

[limber orbit]

man the mastery challanges were ass

still are

[ruby citrus]

only gun i had full gold was m3 grease gun

[slow tulip]

Bf5 exceeded its all time peak 46 minutes ago, holy

[limber orbit]

its on sale isnt it

[ruby citrus]

yep

its like 4 euro

[slow tulip]

Yeah

[limber orbit]

yea thats why

[slow tulip]

First time it's peak was at around 80k which was in 2021

Ea killed the game

[limber orbit]

same as why bf2042 had an infux

[slow tulip]

There are a lot of hackers

[limber orbit]

no shit

[rotund kite]

south america servers are unplayable

[untold flower]

💀 yall dont know unplayable bc of cheaters until yall play on SEA servers

[ruby citrus]

bfv has a massive cheater issue yeah

[untold flower]

fucking chinese cheaters go crazy

[slow tulip]

Play on the community servers, they ban players with suspicious stats

[ruby citrus]

so does bf1

[limber orbit]

dude the chinese hackers spilled over to the EU servers once when the game was around its peak

it was horrendous

[rotund kite]

bf1 has not the same amount of cheaters that bfv has
I think no other battlefield has this amount of cheaters

[slow tulip]

Bf5 needed the anti cheat than bf2042 has

[rotund kite]

I think easy-anticheat was better than ea's
after the update that are a lot of people playing weird..
the problem is I don't know if they're cheating or the game is just broken -_-

[slow tulip]

Do they even ban the Cheaters?

[rotund kite]

apparently not, I think dice forsake the game

[deft tinsel]

2 squadmates sitting in base trying to snipe

1 squadmate at least is actually actively helping

500 ticket difference loss

it's joever

[rotund kite]

sometimes I also wish people played the game

[rain grotto]

are there dice devs on the server?

[still vault]

[ruby citrus]

god 20k+ xp for a single pip is so depressing

get top1 and get like 1 pip

[drowsy shuttle]

Exposure is a great map on paper but fails in game

[still vault]

I think its one of the better maps for 128p conquest

[icy otter]

Hey all !! Some People wanna Play with me ? French if possible . 😅💗🫶

[quaint vector]

Exposure is also great on Breakthrough 👀

[drowsy shuttle]

Works better in breakthrough... except the last sector

[quaint vector]

Well yeah, but it depends on the teams like in any other map

[untold flower]

teams have been dogshit after u went to sleep bro @glacial quarry

[drowsy shuttle]

I think it would work better even with more players.. its too vertical and big... if you are infantry you gonna have a rough time unless you stay in the B objectives for the most time...

[still vault]

I usually prefer A2 or the F's as infantry. But I do like destroying vehicles..

[ruby citrus]

Issue is the lower points, going from them to anywhere else is such a chore that theyre usually a ghost town

Also theyre too open for sniper fire

There need to be ziplines closer to the points themselves

[pearl ridge]

Doesn’t help that it’s basically a one-way trip for vehicles

[ruby citrus]

That too

Why not make a vehicle elevator like they did in flashpoint

[pearl ridge]

Only way back up is the elevators and barely anyone even remembers those exist

[ruby citrus]

Actl doesnt it have one elevator that goes from e-f to d

But thats about it iirc

Basically exposure is fun in theory if you stick in A-C permanently but if you try capping the lower points its hell on earth

20 snipers camping the cliffs and its essentially a one way trip

Cap the point then redeploy

[bitter finch]

How is bf5 and 1 these days

[drowsy shuttle]

Why you asking in battlefield 2042 channel?

[mighty holly]

idk how these lads get lost

[ruby citrus]

Both have rough cheater issues

Otherwise solid games

[wide shore]

Both great on console

[ruby citrus]

Lewis gun instills the fear of god in me

Whenever i see consecutive headshot kills on the kill feed

[azure zenith]

True lol 😆

[azure zenith]

Facts

[deft tinsel]

bf1 has a lot of community ran servers with active admins

[fringe spire]

I repaired

1300k damage

[quaint vector]

What's 1300K damage tho.?

1 300 damage.?

Or

1 300 000 damage.?

[drowsy shuttle]

It's 1 thousand 3 hundred and thousand damage

[fringe spire]

I made a typo

1.3k repaired

1349 to be exact

I spent the whole game as the repair bitch in cav brawlers

[drowsy shuttle]

I'd like to know why we can't warn a fellow driver that we are coming to repair their vehicle... the same way we can warn downed teammates we are coming to revive...

[azure zenith]

That's smart asf. I've kinda wondered the same thing.

[fringe spire]

they don't want to be repaired

[drowsy shuttle]

If Dice think I'm going to run around like a moron trying to catch a friendly vehicle to repair it, they must be out of their minds

[fringe spire]

they actually want to play their tank singleplayer

that's what I've been led to believe

[low timber]

Thought about the same a long time ago

And Sam even noted it

[fringe spire]

Anyone got tips for the TOR tank ? I feel like it's a powerhouse but I don't really know how to use it properly

[drowsy shuttle]

Same here.. never used the tor.. yesterday I made an enemy jump out of his tor after I hit him with the lissiles.. killed him then repair it and jumped in.. had no idea how to operate it lol

By the way, as lis I lost counts on how many vehicles I stole... damn rats abandon ship so fast lol

[low timber]

The TOR is a tank destroyer, so a sniper of vehicle classes

[quaint vector]

TOR is more of an Vehicle Hunter, if you rush with that tank you are basically dead

[merry heart]

That's alot of damage.

[quaint vector]

[fringe spire]

I heard the TOR tank had a main gun variant that acted like a sort of shotgun..? I heard people shooting down helis with that

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah it's almost a tank-sniper

Dunno how it works tho

[merry heart]

It's like the tank hunter landship from BF1 so to speak.

[merry heart]

Yes it could one-shot helos if I recalled.

[drowsy shuttle]

59 more kills to T1 the m240b then I will never use it again.

[deft tinsel]

the one round where im actually good and we lose it 😭

[low timber]

The shotgun one is a secondary, takes the lmg/HMG slot

Also passenger gets one iirc

[deft tinsel]

is the ak24 better than the m4 alternative?

i see it more often than the m4

the m5a3 i mean

[drowsy shuttle]

No

[deft tinsel]

idk what happened last rnd but i finally felt good playing it and finished top 5

when everything clicks, it's a solid game

team worked, squadmates helped

even tho we lost it was still a pretty good round

assault class + c5 seems better than an engineer for taking down vehicles lmao

i didn't have 1 vehicle kill until now, got 2 this way

[drowsy shuttle]

Yep easily

[raw falcon]

is sws the only sniper that can't OHK close range?

and which are the ones that can?

[merry heart]

That's weird

I mean, it should, right?

Even with suppressor.

[raw falcon]

the sws?

[merry heart]

Yes

[raw falcon]

im new so i tried and only got hit markers, even went back on the shadowplays to make sure im not just extra terrible, it was a hitmarker even as close as point blank and as far as 200m

i only ohk when i headset which makes perfect sense

some video i recently watched claimed the sws doesn't ohk close range due to nerfs almost a year ago

[low timber]

Only “sniper” that can ohk body shot is the 20mm anti tank NTW-50

[arctic grove]

When is 6.2 update coming out?

[low timber]

Or SWS-10 with the Masterkey underbarrel

[quaint vector]

Planned for Early December

[arctic grove]

Is there going to be a patch before it?

[raw falcon]

when did this take effect?

[arctic grove]

Like on Tuesday?

[raw falcon]

or are all the clips i've seen portal hardcore servers?

[low timber]

Season 2 iirc

Most likely hardcore then

[quaint vector]

I'm not aware of any other Update

[raw falcon]

okay that's fair, i'll try to level to 60 then, currently only 21 and takes me ages

[low timber]

The NTW-50 can ohk body out to 100m, after that it needs two shots or one headshot.

All snipers have a 4x headshot multiplier

And Rorsch, GVT got nerfed to 3x iirc

[quaint vector]

Imagine Sniper Rifle that can't 1 shot kill to headshot...

[arctic grove]

How’s the M416?

Kinda wanna try it

[low timber]

Did you not play BF4? There were 2 or 3 of those

[raw falcon]

that's fine with me, i usually got an AR and close-quarters sniper loadout in fps games, but was surprised there wasn't any starting out even with attachments

[quaint vector]

Can't remember what Sniper Rifle couldn't do it 🤔

Mares Leg don't count tho

[low timber]

I do hope for a M82 for next season, Hardline had one and I liked it, even though I didn’t play it much.

[drowsy shuttle]

I wouldn't play battlefield if that was the case

[low timber]

One of them was one that iirc is in CSGO, Scout?

[raw falcon]

scout is oneshot

headshot

[low timber]

In BF4

[quaint vector]

It had 1 shot headshot 👀

[raw falcon]

ohh bf4 yeah

[low timber]

Not after a certain range

[quaint vector]

Really.?

I only remember running it to close combat as it had fast rate of fire

[low timber]

Sym.gg says BF4 snipers had a 2.35x multiplier to the head.

Scout elite damage seems to drop to 36.6 after 110m

So 86,01 dmg

[quaint vector]

What about the other ones.?🤔

[low timber]

FY-JS seems to drop to 3 shot in 120m

[quaint vector]

It 1 shot kills to head tho...

Seen hundrets if clips with that to headshot over 1Km

[fringe spire]

75m

[low timber]

You sure you’re not mixing it with the CS-LR4? They look quite similar.

[quaint vector]

Yeah I know, I remember everyone running that one as it required some unlocks

[low timber]

Sorrow’s spreadsheet says 120 dmg on 0-99m

[fringe spire]

you're right, I can't read

[low timber]

Looking at the more detailed numbers in Sym.gg and

DOEnd 147.8
EDmg 36.6
if I understood those correctly.

[drowsy shuttle]

It's done! M240b T1d ... fuck that gun. Now only 1 primary weapon left for me to tier 1... the type 88... let's see how bad it is lol

[low timber]

Last time I heard something about type 88 was that it was unusable

[drowsy shuttle]

Like 95% of vault weapons.

[ruby citrus]

only the ARs were literal laser beam broken for a few weeks then they nerfed those too

ACW-R in its prime was probably equal to the rm68

[drowsy shuttle]

Gol sniper is good too

My favourite vault weapon

[arctic grove]

Can’t decide on an AR

What do you guys think looks the best in terms of looks?

[drowsy shuttle]

M5

[arctic grove]

How would it be like using the GOL with Mackay?

[drowsy shuttle]

If you are good at sniping, is pretty good. Although they kinda nerfed quickscope... but still okay. I prefer the sws tho for versatility

[arctic grove]

Hmm

So you would recommend the SWS instead?

[drowsy shuttle]

Yes

[low timber]

It can be equipped with a Masterkey

[arctic grove]

Alright let’s try it out on 128 CQ

[tacit sphinx]

it's not very popular but it's fine in my experience

reasonably controllable, just hits people until theyre dead etc

[drowsy shuttle]

It seems better than the m240b but still too early to tell.. only have 9 kills yet with it

Both are not worth it though.. if you wanna stay competitive.. there are way better options

[ruby citrus]

imo the railgun is still the best sniper in the game

not having to lead your shots makes it uncontenstable

only the dxr-1 has bullet velocity that doesn't feel like shit

[drowsy shuttle]

Bolt action ftw

Also sws does everything the dxr does with better rof

And more ammo in the magazine

[deft tinsel]

294m headshot

296*

[tacit sphinx]

gol is my go to sniper atm if i do snipe

mostly because i have the sws and dxr t1 lol

[ruby citrus]

its bullet velocity is worse though, no?

and extended barrel takes an eternity to unlock

[drowsy shuttle]

Yes, but doesn't really matter imo.. you can compensate the bullet drop..

Then again when I play sniper I play aggressive.. I don't stay in a tower 400m away from the front lines

[tacit sphinx]

yeah dxr is good if you’re going for specifically long distance sniping, but the sws or gol is a better choice for mid range while still obviously keeping the ability to make long shots if needed

[drowsy shuttle]

^

[tacit sphinx]

like ultimately it’s kind of just personal preference lol, there’s not a whole lot of difference

those three all do well, then there’s the xce which is… it exists

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah xce is also cool

I enjoyed it a lot when it came out and I t1 it

[tacit sphinx]

im not a huge fan

[drowsy shuttle]

Rof is pretty good with a 2x or something for cqc

[gray comet]

Ive never seen one in game

[drowsy shuttle]

Still prefer the sws overall

[gray comet]

as do I

[cosmic tulip]

we've tried starting a match with a squad and it doesnt work? just stuck with no one in the lobby

anyone else having this same issue?

[deft tinsel]

are there enough people playing 128 for it not to be filled with bots?

[cosmic tulip]

we tried almost all the modes

tdm, 64 and 128

[drowsy shuttle]

Crossplay on?

[deft tinsel]

wow 128 is dead on pc

shame

[drowsy shuttle]

Not true

I'm playing conquest 128p right now and it's full

Found full servers easily

Must be your region or timezone

[final lintel]

Get region locked outta fun

[storm elbow]

Are there any events upcoming?

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah I don't think I'm crazy enough to tier 1 the type 88

[violet grove]

guys! ya'll are playing bf2042... is it performance bad? like the optimization? cause im about to buy it after i bought bfv like 2-3 days ago but i wanna try 2042 too but idk if my i5 8400 + RTX 3060 Ti can run it

[next onyx]

You need a new processor.

[violet grove]

I know bro

i have the worst ever in 2023 LMFAO

what should i buy? ryzen 9 5800 X

with B550 Aorus elite motherboard maybe?

[next onyx]

Minimum, a 5600x works. Max a 7800x3d.

[violet grove]

alr i saw ryzen 9 5800x with a pretty good price

[next onyx]

Yeah that's a good enough chip for it too.

[past spire]

you should be fine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6BxfWx8zbI

but yea could have a much better cpu

I've got the ryzen 5 7600, and its great

[violet grove]

yes i know it's too bottlenecked

and i can feel it in every game

[fossil herald]

yall ever tried sniping with the rorsch with high ping

half the time you start charging to fire it lags and rubberbands and cancels the shot

only at like 80-90 ping too

tbh every gun and every movement feels like crap at 80 ping in this game

meanwhile bf5 i can play 80-100 ping just fine no problems

[violet grove]

cause bfv itself is 10X better in everything

[fossil herald]

it wouldnt be a problem if there was a server browser that let me just join us east servers 100% of the time

instead of auto matchmaking putting me in west coast or south america servers

[violet grove]

BFV broke the peak record last day

with 110K players in a minute

[fossil herald]

yeah i downloaded bf5 on friday and havent played 2042 since lol

its so much better

and i just played 2042 for like 200 hours since the free weekend/halloween event

[violet grove]

good

so yeha im minding on how tf should i get that much money for pugrading to a B550 aorus elite motherboard and to a ryzen 7 5800X

its like 350 Dollar

[drowsy shuttle]

50 kills with the type 88 on conquest spearhead.. okay, I'll take it

[final lintel]

Not too shabby. Especially with the type 88 lol

[drowsy shuttle]

Exactly lol

I just started it to t1 it

Only primary weapon left to get to tier 1

[final lintel]

Damn. I’m not gonna tier any other sniper or tactical so I’m all set for the tier 1s I want lol

I’ve used enough of an array of guns

[bleak flint]

so should i buy bfv

i see its popular

[deft tinsel]

exposure is the worst map

[drowsy shuttle]

of the new ones? yeah probably

if you don't count the meme map ofc

[past spire]

its back to 10k players

but yea its so cheap rn why not

[gray comet]

I can run 2042 really well on an i5 10400

but idk any other suggestions

[past spire]

intel cpu names are weird man

[mental delta]

Which one is that lad ?

[violet grove]

ofc its a 10400

mine's a 8400

and so if i would buy a cpu,i would buy the mid-high tier

my GPU in 1080p is mid-high too so yeah

(3060Ti)

for 1080p its the best basically

[arctic grove]

I need a gun suggestion

Something that looks good

[past spire]

I've heard ppl say that that specific card is not the best for 1080p, but more for ray tracing and 4k

[violet grove]

bro no

[past spire]

6600xt/6650xt/6700 are good options aswell imo

[violet grove]

for that one (4k ray trackng) can only run HOOD with like a 4090

[violet grove]

yes but 3060 ti is for 1080p/1440p

and if 60fps id enough,then 1440p ray tracing

about that

[next onyx]

I don't think rt is worth it to be honest.

[pine roost]

It’s only rtao anyway

Not worth it

[next onyx]

Only time I would want rt is in a single player.

Specifically, horror.

To make full use of the lighting makes perfect sense.

[stone cradle]

Literally useless with how much you'd be moving around. Unless you exclusively walk around very slowly to take in the environment I guess

[copper ice]

^

[stone cradle]

[copper ice]

rt super overkill 99.99% of the time

[stone cradle]

With the next game having a campaign - I'd say that would be good with RT.

But leave it out the multiplayer

[copper ice]

i don't want it in the game at all if it costs a single kilobyte of storage

Already have to put up with 80gbs of 4k textures only 1% of players will use

[next onyx]

I will say. Back at bf5 through this experimental test on it the game actually felt different.

I could recognise the landmarks but also couldn't.

But I can't find the video.

[drowsy shuttle]

redacted

[kindred flint]

double emp kill get fucked

[mental delta]

Last one ?

[drowsy shuttle]

Yes

[hardy haven]

i keep trying to join a match bit the game just blçack screens and returns me to lobby

[remote kiln]

the issue won't be resolved until early December

[crude matrix]

whats the best sniper currently?

[topaz abyss]

depends really - i like the XCE as its so versatile

[spare pasture]

When season 7

[naive quiver]

Soon real soon

[still vault]

You can see in-game how many weeks is left of S6

[naive quiver]

9 weeks sir

Is soon

[ruby citrus]

xce has awful muzzle velocity

practically unusable past 250m

and its signature scope isnt even accurate with the ranges

[topaz abyss]

not really have made 600m heasshots with it

[ruby citrus]

like why give it its own scope when it isnt accurate

[topaz abyss]

each to their own i guess plus i dont use the factory scope

[ruby citrus]

idk it was always an annoyance for me

[topaz abyss]

yea my friend cant use it either though i love it especially in CQB

[ruby citrus]

railgun will always be my fav

[topaz abyss]

meh for me the rail gun but at least you like it!

[ruby citrus]

effectively hitscan, can function as an AR

i wanna use snipers more cuz that infinite steady scope is super appealing

but i hate having to adjust my shots like 3 times before i hit anyone cuz i cant get the distance accurately instantly

[topaz abyss]

with the bipod is super satisfying no holding your breath

one thing i missed about the other battlefields is the range finder

tells you how many meters they are away without needing to ping

plus why remove the diving feature in this game? i mean 2042 missed so many aspects of the old titles

literally a sitting duck in the water

[next onyx]

Comfy view model.

[lament bear]

Anyone interested to be my duo for the attack helicopter on bf2042, im mostly playing heliopters

[kindred flint]

thank god for no helicopters on redacted

actually with those mackay fucks camping on roofs....theyre almost as bad

[final lintel]

On the roof?

As a Mackey main I’m confused

[drowsy shuttle]

Why it takes 30min for my character to cockhis weapon after respawn?

[ruby citrus]

tried sniping

went 15/1, 14 of those kills were pistol kills

fucking lmao

l9cz unironically good though

[final lintel]

I might run it for a bit after seeing all this hype for it

[kindred flint]

like the top of the B area shooting through the trees into fans

[final lintel]

That’s a thing?

[kindred flint]

how tf are you a zipline mainer and havent gone up there

[final lintel]

Cause I’m a frontline zip line boy.

I rush like a shotgun ape with a ac42

I don’t do any of the aids Mackey tactics cause I ain’t about to get pushed into that low level of a group

[past spire]

best gamemode on bf2042 for newbs?

[final lintel]

Also I have yet to see any Mackey do that yet so I didn’t know it existed til now

[final lintel]

64 conquest

[kindred flint]

i just assumed anyone playing as him automatically looked up to see the most aids position they could find

[final lintel]

I use his zip line as strictly a movement tool, I don’t look for any weird spots to sit in

[kindred flint]

then that shipping container thats like directly across from fans, i thought i saw bullets coming down from there into the middle of B but didnt see anyone..ran out for a res, then a is prone up there and downed me fucking cunt he died though..

[ruby citrus]

ok yeah i can get the lead on bodyshots but i cant get the headshots for the life of me

any tips for leading shots with snipers? besides just trial and error and getting used to it

[final lintel]

Lol

[ruby citrus]

hitting a running target with a bodyshot is easy but the head is HARD

[kindred flint]

the most bizarre spot though ive seen one is sitting on top of the like garage door thats at the B-> middle area between b/c

like dude cant shoot any enemies unless they run out into all his other teammates first...

[final lintel]

Like I’ll get on the containers as cover and move around them and on top but I haven’t sat there for longer than like 5 seconds

[kindred flint]

my squad flanked around to the A side though and i used an airburst on him

the campers ->squad of campers that spawn on them are the worst lol

manifest is fucking awful for it

[ruby citrus]

i gotta admit sniping is quite relaxing

when im not sweating to be top1 every game with captures and shit its kinda relaxing

im sorta useless sure but still

[kindred flint]

and this is why i hate bolt actions

[ruby citrus]

yep you basically just play clicking simulator 300m away from any objective

and like sure you maybe get like 20 kills or so but you're still sorta useless

[kindred flint]

in an objective mode..its the worst kind of teammate to get lol

[final lintel]

I noticed that cause I grapple on the door to move past people and I vaulted on top, so I was surprised I haven’t seen any monkey players use that in breakthrough yet lol

[final lintel]

Another aids spot lol

[drowsy shuttle]

Oh god the type 88 lol

The type 88 exists in the game just to make number

It's a filler

[kindred flint]

meaningless LMG lol

[ruby citrus]

i do find it funny how i tried sniping but just ended up getting a bunch of pistol kills by killing people trying to flank me

[drowsy shuttle]

I guess you are missing your sniper shots then

[ruby citrus]

yep, got like 40 assists from bodyshots lmao

[drowsy shuttle]

Needs a buff

[topaz breach]

never fails for my team to lose on Arica Harbor

but I'm always joining late on this shit

[drowsy shuttle]

40 kills/assists to finish Lis tier 1

What a pain

Those who did her T1 when was only kills, have my ultimate respect (unless they did it in portal like scrubs)

[lone onyx]

Sniper rifles same as every other weapon. U need to learn the attributes of each weapon, scope, barrel, and ammo. Each offer different plus/minuses when used in diff configerations

[lone onyx]

Try some of the portal modes. Other than that just play and be prepared to swear at the screen many many times 🤣🤣🤣

[gray comet]

Damn

All Out Superiority is a blast as a stealth pilot

[limpid thistle]

Ps5 wise. What are your helicopter settings. I'm tilting too fast missing all my shots

[copper ice]

good luck learning it when the game doesn't even tell you the velocity

[robust rivet]

just now learning the stealth piloting. any tips?

[lone onyx]

Yeah game cud do with a Shooting Range like the Division gives u. I know they wont but only way to learn a weapon is to fire it. Guess, like original poster said, its down to trial and error.

[copper ice]

So lame

The game barely tells you any of the actual stats of your weapon

[remote kiln]

the game's too far along as is to add QOL content, there are portal shooting ranges you can use though

[gray comet]

Youre really mobile, take advantage of that

Also

Uh, it sounds obvious but pick out bomb targets before dropping them

[lone onyx]

Oh? I didnt know about portal ranges.

[remote kiln]

AANJ7Z is the code, you can use noname's testing range

[lone onyx]

Thanks 👍🏻 thatll help a lot with my hip fire aiming. Second nature to only fire when ADS & it gets me killed too often on fast moving CQB maps 🤣

[remote kiln]

sure thing

[drowsy shuttle]

If you deploy anti-tank mines and if you die, they disappear after you respawn or only when you place them again somewhere else?

[robust rivet]

good question

[vocal tusk]

Isnt this test range broken now, or was it fixed recently? Last time I tested it was a glorified TDM mode due to a recent update breaking its spawning functionality

[kindred flint]

tfw you could have killed more with a vhx

[remote kiln]

yeah they will despawn

[remote kiln]

uhh iirc it works, but i could be wrong

[tacit sphinx]

they shouldn't despawn on death

[remote kiln]

nevermind, i forgot they changed it after the beta, they stay after death

even though its very stupid

[drowsy shuttle]

Ah really?

Okay

[tacit sphinx]

it's the way mines have worked in like... every title lol

[drowsy shuttle]

So they only desapwn if you deploy them again somewhere else (after you respawn ofc)

[tacit sphinx]

stay until destroyed or more are placed to go over the maximum

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah

That's what I thought.. at least in BF5 was like that, wasn't sure in 2042

[tacit sphinx]

yeah (you can also place more by resupplying, which will despawn the earlier ones)

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah, so it's just like in bfv

Gotcha

[remote kiln]

and its always been a stupid mechanic regardless

[tacit sphinx]

ok

[drowsy shuttle]

I think would make less sense if they disappear after you die tbh

[merry heart]

9,999 meters per second

[kindred flint]

I respect your class

oh god that lobby is not on the one to be in...enemy 45-5 and the match barely started by the time i joined it

someone with ttv in their name so not sure if blatant hacker...or just omega tier sweat with a premade

[calm bison]

If they have TTV in their name they deserve to die

(In-game)

[kindred flint]

so at the end of the match because i saw you medics are blind af, some guy says just respawn we're up!...yeah thats not the point and the entire match was filled with questionable medic moments...is not being trash too much to ask if you select one of 3 medics

[merry heart]

dont forget to tbag them while you're at it

[calm bison]

No that’s too obvious

[arctic grove]

[copper ice]

mines disappearing on death makes sense

[merry heart]

does being obvious really matter

[copper ice]

if everyone was playing correctly then every single person would spend their first life placing anti tank mines and then playing normally

[calm bison]

not really especially if you kill FlexLanes 4 times in one match on redacted

[copper ice]

imagine the entire map covered with 128ps worth of anti tank mines that dont despawn on death

[vocal tusk]

OR if it were like launch BF3...where not only did mines not disappear on death...but you could place more and more when you spawned each time and those also didnt disappear on death. 😄

[calm bison]

Also hey DICE

If I could play any other map besides Stranded this season

That would be great

[kindred flint]

redacted is where its at...

[calm bison]

I wanna play Spearhead

[kindred flint]

this has nothing to do with me just farming t1 skins again

[young panther]

redacted is bad

[robust vapor]

Your head is a map

[kindred flint]

of course, but its fulfilling its purpose of being a mindless meatgrinder

[robust vapor]

For S7

[young panther]

redacted is 💩

[calm bison]

Here’s my ranking of the popular CQB maps

[gray comet]

Skill issue, plant TUGS and experiencemax your life with Redacted

[calm bison]

1. Operation Underground
2. FDV
3. Argonne Forest
4. Redacted
5. Locker
6. Metro (both versions)

But redacted beats locker by a country mile

[vocal tusk]

D flag on redacted is super terrible as a combat arena tho

[gray comet]

Locker was fun in BF4 but it doesn’t have the flow that Redacted does

[arctic grove]

Argonne is nice

Until you hear train whistles

[gray comet]

agreed, it’s a shitshow. Run on in and take out as many as you can before crossfire gets you

[young panther]

not even vehicles in redacted

[gray comet]

Redacted really needs to be widened. Bulldoze the middle of the map to make room for a CAV.

[vocal tusk]

Or hide in a corner by those needlessly massive tanks to try solo cap the flag

The space is big enough...but there is no waist height, hard cover to use for engaging gunfights

Just massive tanks because....reasons?

[robust vapor]

Amiens is nice until you hear train whistles

[vocal tusk]

Would be a better flag if that lobby area up the stairs was part of the flag

[gray comet]

Maybe then people would occupy it

[vocal tusk]

You'd at least have the dynamic of...Maybe they are above me...instead of > let me camp this tank corner and kill anyone trying to fight me with my 870MCS

A flag was more interesting before they stopped players getting on top of the incinerators

[arctic grove]

Train behemoth on most maps:
Train behemoth on Argonne, Amiens or Galicia:

[vocal tusk]

Now its just a slightly better D flag

(Cos it at least has some hard cover for gunfights)

[robust vapor]

Yus

[gray comet]

And nice T-UGS spots

[vocal tusk]

Yeah. ITs weird cos there are some legit way better areas on that map that would have made better flags/cap areas than whats used on A or D

But it is what it is I guess.

Its just weird/a bit annoying that the areas between A and B, and then between D and C are more interesting than the actual flags.

I get that most combat is intended to take place there...and thats why this is the case. But D flag is just the most boring place to fight. Especially since B and C flags are so great 😄

in map UX could also use some work, but I do mostly enjoy Redacted

[drowsy shuttle]

Done. Lis tier 1. Never gonna use her again lol

[next onyx]

I haven't even gotten any of my engies tier 1.

I feel like if crawford functioned off vehicle damage his tier 1 wouldn't be so bad.

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah the only ones left for me is Crawford and Boris and I won't do it, unless Dice buffs Crawford minigun or changes the challenge.. same for Boris..

The other specialists are all tier 1

Lis is the only engineer

[vocal tusk]

The minigun is already extremely good

[drowsy shuttle]

The shield is too weak

You can get killed too easily

They need to make the shield more stronger or remove the small window in front

[vocal tusk]

It also has a lot more range and accuracy than most people know

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah problem is not the mini gun, my mistale

Mistake

Is the shield

That window is too weak.. you can get sniped or even shot easily

Imo they should remove the window in front

[vocal tusk]

I think its fine TBH. Its about as much cover as it should have to balance out how much firepower it has. Any more and it would be OP

[drowsy shuttle]

Cause you can already destroy the shield fairly easy

[vocal tusk]

Na, that would make it too good

[drowsy shuttle]

Not to mention you can flank him while he is shooting the mini gun also easily.. or at least change the challenge for his tier 1

[vocal tusk]

Its effective up to 150m, and gets more accurate as you shoot it (Or thats how it seems to me. )

[gray comet]

Nah, it’s all that gives the receiving end a shot in most cases, leave it.

[vocal tusk]

Its especially good if you are above your targets

Cos its downward angle is very good

[drowsy shuttle]

I could count by 5 fingers the amount of time a Crawford minigun killed me.. I don't even have problems to peak while he is directly shooting me and headshot him through the window... is really easy take him down

[vocal tusk]

Crawforsd is just the best enginner even if they didnt have any gadgets regardless

You dont get killed by it a lot, because players dont want to play in a way that best uses him

In respect to the turret I mean

[drowsy shuttle]

This I agree. His buff with the number of rockets automatically make him the best engineer.

[vocal tusk]

People mainly use Crawford for the extra Rockets

[drowsy shuttle]

True

[vocal tusk]

But his turret can also shred helis and other vehicles. Especially in combo with a rocket, and underbarrel launcher

Like if you find any vehicle in your range > drop turret > fire AP round at vehicle > fire rocket > jump on turret to finish

About 7 seconds to do full MBT armor damage

Its less effective that that, but you get the general idea haha

[robust vapor]

You need to maintain the heat gauge of 80-98%

For accuracy

[robust vapor]

[last willow]

@remote kiln what's your favorite style of EDM? or favorite artists?

[wet swallow]

how has a bot tank just sniped me in a heli

[rough lantern]

Flew too predictably. Just randomly move around your joystick sometimes. They're predictive.

Happens to me too when I get too cocky.

[wet swallow]

i was moving pretty erraticaly im bad in helis 😭

[remote kiln]

honestly i dont have a favourite style tbh, house etc are all good, but example song https://open.spotify.com/track/6lvYFJmQmCTSqE7jZjusaz?si=37031451d39c4fd8

Guys, anyone knows if the bf2042's servers are down? I can't start the game. I got a "Player disconnect timed out" message about 2 hours ago, can't log in again

[remote kiln]

[robust vapor]

Deco's game moment

[serene glen]

Xce bar or gol sniper magnum

[arctic grove]

thank you mate, I just checked the game files integrity and now it is running back again!

[drowsy rose]

Honesty battlefiled players are probably more intellectually challenged than the average gamer

Enemy air vehicle farming?

Well there's 15 counters - but they complain instead

However we also allow vehicle mains to whine so hard that their precious YT vehicle farm is underpowered

RIP TOR

Air vehicle mains whined you into irrelavancy

[merry heart]

im surprised you actually get people to talk in a game

[robust vapor]

Just play in his region @merry heart

[merry heart]

what region would that be

[robust vapor]

The Deco Region

[merry heart]

why play that region when i could play in d0k region?

[robust vapor]

TRUE

Nvm Deco will be part of the D0k squad in the D0k region

Cause D0k

[final lintel]

D0k forever

[final lintel]

[remote kiln]

[merry heart]

[final lintel]

[final lintel]

simply better...perhaps

so good, you cant even fathom his existence

[final lintel]

see, he's just better lol

[merry heart]

[final lintel]

he was fathom'd

[merry heart]

[final lintel]

[merry heart]

he bamboozled me

until i killed him

[final lintel]

i would assume being invisible is a bit bewildering

[drowsy rose]

Dont you love a clear and obivious cheater?

[drowsy rose]

You remind me why I fucking hate BF4's scopes

you really dont do range finding

[merry heart]

i was using the rorsch, so range finding with it isn't almost a thing

[robust vapor]

[drowsy rose]

Fellow Stonks

[merry heart]

but if i was using the GVT

i wouldve been using lines shown on the bottom of the scope there to judge distance

[merry heart]

also, fascinating how you didn't get roasted by others when you made this statement

[kindred flint]

i mean...they exist?

[drowsy rose]

Im better than most of them so respect game

[merry heart]

[drowsy rose]

Yes I am THAT arrogant in saying that

[arctic grove]

We need this as an emoji

[merry heart]

huh

he's either not here or he's holding his tongue for not trolling

[drowsy rose]

I'm semi-trolling with my "better than statement"

[merry heart]

no not you

someone else

[arctic grove]

They fix this game yet?

[drowsy rose]

lel

[arctic grove]

Hard no I’m guessing

[merry heart]

like

fix what tho

[arctic grove]

The game

[merry heart]

[arctic grove]

Core is still bad, but if you only cared about bugs and lack of content then it’s fine now

[drowsy rose]

THe G428 is OP as fuck

Whose idea was it to give it a 11 round magazine

[arctic grove]

My main issue with 242 was it didn’t feel like battlefield

Then nope not much changed

Kinda just lacked the energy of the past battlefields

Sure classes are back but specialists are still there, still no aow persistent servers/server browser, only just got basic squad management functions and a lack of squad play xp events/incentives

Erm

I’m really just at the tip of the iceberg here

[drowsy rose]

I mean specialists were done clearly to sell skins initially and break into the hero shoot mechanic that people already hated

[arctic grove]

Indeed

The whole specialist idea is cool but it was poorly executed

[drowsy rose]

How is it cool - it's hero shoot mechanics

[arctic grove]

I mean we could’ve just got the specialist gadgets as normal class gadgets

That’s really all they had going for them

Unless people like spending money on skins for em that much

The best example of specialist in a game is bo3

And bo4

[drowsy rose]

Everything with the specialists was unironically better with BF5 because you had a specialization you could swap between - and with BF4's squad upgrades

And the abilities weren't tagged to a specific character

THe biggest things 2042 did really well was the PLUS SYSTEM

Easily one the best things in the game

[arctic grove]

I can’t comment on black ops 4 since I never bought or played it

[drowsy rose]

Otherwise - that's it lol

[arctic grove]

Launch bf2042 was more fun then how it is now

I did play black ops 3 but when it was newer

[arctic grove]

I agree

We should be able to change “soft” attachments on the fly

[drowsy rose]

Made sense tbh

[arctic grove]

Aka sights, grips, lasers/lights, etc

[drowsy rose]

Otherwise speiclist are awful and everything could've been elite skins and glass gadgets

[arctic grove]

Stuff that slides on and off rails pretty much instantly anyway. A better way ti balance it might include contextual animations to prevent instant switching to a long range scope or something

[drowsy rose]

BF5 had honestly - good gunplay, great movement, attrition for vehicles

[arctic grove]

I like the movement besides the sliding mechanic

Bf1 had me stressed asf

I feel like the sliding mechanic was genuinely unbalanced, and attrition was just generally annoying

At least for infantry I suppose

Attrition for vehicles was just kinda unnecessary considering vehicles weren’t any less OP

[drowsy rose]

Play Battlefield before BF3

You had attrition

Wait no

Before BAD COMPANY even

[arctic grove]

BF4 in 2015 was my first experience with the franchise so I can’t personally comment there

[drowsy rose]

Attrition was good because it was godly

[arctic grove]

I never played a BF older than 3

[drowsy rose]

I started playing Battlefield with BF2 back when I was like

in 4th grade I think

[arctic grove]

Ooh nice

[drowsy rose]

BF2,2142,BC,BC2,3,4,5, and 2042

Dont wanna play BF1

Just WW2 with a reskin

Only played 5 cause I was super board

[arctic grove]

Wuuuuut

BF1 was a ww2 reskin? I think I misread your message

2042 tried to be like cod and failed terribly at it

[drowsy rose]

BF5 suffers from balance issues that will never get fixed

[drowsy rose]

Look on the brightside

COD speedran itself

Critically Acclaimed reboot

Good Sequel

Then utter trash for the third

all within 3 years

[arctic grove]

Mw2 tarnished cod as a whole

[drowsy rose]

Meanwhile BF1,5,4, and fucking 2042 all recently hit 10k+ players each on steam

[arctic grove]

Vanguard was enjoyable but the ww2 thing wasn’t necessary

[arctic grove]

Yea I personally hate the class balancing

I also hate how the attrition and ttk mix

[drowsy rose]

Attrition is perfect because vehicles permnantly able to at will do what they want

[arctic grove]

Time to die feels virtually instant, AND you can’t heal except for 1 time then you have to find a medic or a supply point

[drowsy rose]

Plus the damage system was elite

Once you crossed certain thresholds you were weaker

[arctic grove]

I’m mixed about it for vehicles yea especially since tanks have that system

But for infantry it just bogs gameplay down for me

[drowsy rose]

As an old school player

Tanks not being able to hide and regen is amazing

Only the dumbest teams let any plane or vehicle go on a rampage

even the best players lose

[drowsy rose]

Makes more dynamic

Yall never had the struggler of being 5HP bvecause there isn't a medic

[arctic grove]

I guess for vehicles it’s a good thing since I think bfv was the first to actually have armor angling

[drowsy rose]

so you're in panik mode

[arctic grove]

In older games sure you could do more damage if you hit the tanks rear but it was otherwise still pretty normal hitboxes and damage

[drowsy rose]

Generally yes that was sorta the only weakspots really

BF3 and BF4 had top attack munitions which 2042 lacks for some weird ass reason

[arctic grove]

Yea I suppose it is pretty intense, I just personally get bogged down since the amount of splash damage and random stuff you can take damage to

[robust vapor]

BF1 sir

My k bullet ricochet off a light tank sometimes

[arctic grove]

Ah I see

[robust vapor]

If you wear headphones expect some DING

[arctic grove]

I mostly play breakthrough in bf1 and use my K bullets on horses so I prolly forgot

[robust vapor]

[drowsy rose]

Seeing a fighter in BF5 have a broken wing because you got a crit hit and the ability to fly is SIGNIFCANTLY reduced

[arctic grove]

True that shit is super recognizable

[robust vapor]

I don't use headphones lmao I don't wanna lose my sense of hearing like Way

[drowsy rose]

You can individually target parts in BF5 too

[arctic grove]

[drowsy rose]

Shoot a rocket at the tracks and get mobility kills

Hit the turret and break the ring

I THINK

if you hit the rear it would engine it

Really wish 2042 kept with that too

[robust vapor]

Back when the rorsch released lmao it annoys the fuck out of everything

Including heavy armor

[final lintel]

apparently this man in my lobby was wall glitching and still only went 5-26

[arctic grove]

[final lintel]

what a moron he has to be to glitch with a like a .18 kd

[drowsy rose]

Happeneed earlier to us

I found out how to do the glitch

"oh you're cheating?"

thermal scope, DMR

[final lintel]

dont spread that info man

[drowsy rose]

shoot them from their spot

I used the glitch to kill the glitchers

it was so rewarding

[final lintel]

lol

you still glitch though, so very slightly cringe

ngl

[calm bison]

2042 has this but it doesn’t specify which part is damaged

Just

Part Damaged

[arctic grove]

True

I think you can damage tracks and turrets

[calm bison]

And if you use the funny South African man’s drone you can shut them down entirely

[arctic grove]

Only problem is the repair is instant so it doesn’t really make much of a difference
