battlefield-2042

[warm zealot]

I see more cheaters now than I did before S6 dropped

[sour marlin]

Wait there’s anti cheat 😂😂

[warm zealot]

Thanks DICE/EA! :)))

Two awesome companies committed to fair play and effective anticheat :)))

[remote kiln]

a game gets 100000 players and infinitely more than it did the prior season and you're surprised you see more cheaters?

cognitive dissonance my guy

[azure zenith]

Facts lol 😆

[sour marlin]

Gotta love caveats

[remote kiln]

like wow what a revolutionary thing to say a game gets 6x the daily players it did the prior season and more cheaters turn up grr bad DICE

[azure zenith]

So true

[untold flower]

😭 🙏 extremely common deco W once again

[azure zenith]

More players base more cheaters. Slippery slope or catch 22. Lol 😂

[remote kiln]

comments especially this season have been especially dumb dunno where these come from

[sour marlin]

You know it’s actually quite interesting

If you work it out right

I’d love the stats on confirmed cheaters and player counts

I reckon you’d get some cool spiders out of that

[warm zealot]

Very effective anti cheat wow

Kernel based

[azure zenith]

Probably new players or those who quit during season 2 or 3.

[warm zealot]

Been playing since launch

[remote kiln]

that's even worse then

lol

[warm zealot]

I have too high standards for anti cheat I guess

For it to work

[remote kiln]

you're seriously whining about a more enforced anti cheat when youre that clueless to understand there would be more if it wasn't replaced from easy anti cheat?

[warm zealot]

If only 2042 had community servers with functional banlists

But the franchise never had tech like that 😦

[remote kiln]

we know you're angry going on unhinged rants about 5 different things doesn't change anything

[azure zenith]

Easy anticheat is trash asf.

Imo

[remote kiln]

close your phone and go for a walk this isn't healthy

[azure zenith]

Me being unhealthy staring at my phone while @remote kiln and @warm zealot put their phones aways and go do something productive instead of arguing. Lol 😂

[remote kiln]

it's just sad that people take a game that seriously that if things don't go their way the next thing they do is seek an outlet for their anger

seems to have been much worse in recent years

[azure zenith]

True I see that alot

[warm zealot]

What does having high standards for Battlefield’s QoL features have to do with being “unhinged”?

Community servers really mitigate the issues with cheating in BF1

[remote kiln]

your first point of call after seeing a cheater was to go on a public server making a 3 paragraph monologue about endless rambling

[azure zenith]

Cheaters are never going away. It'll only get worse. Their logic is, if you can beat them then you deserve that W. So I use the same logic. I consider cheaters practice. Most God tier players will never be in a tournament. And it's probably because their cheating. But personally I think a big part of the playbase cheats. Just most are unskilled or trash. But that comes with its own consequences. If we in the FPS communities only care if someone is flying tanks around the map or someone getting caught at a tournament. Then it leaves every incentive for the casual to cheat. And them new scuf controller sold real fast. Lol 😂

[remote kiln]

this is not a rational response, it is irrational

[azure zenith]

Potato tomato I suppose lol

[azure zenith]

🤣🤣🤣💯

💪😎

[strong snow]

[azure zenith]

Thumb Power to the Max!!! Lol 😂

[obtuse maple]

what the fuck deco is in here?

that’s crazy

[final lintel]

what in the sam fuck is that?

[remote kiln]

been here for a while lol

[remote kiln]

just a good player obv

[final lintel]

truly a step above the rest

[soft dagger]

havent seen one after they changed EAC to EAAC

Most players confuse good players with cheaters 99% of the time

[tacit sphinx]

tarkov controller

[arctic grove]

Also the War Thunder controller

[final lintel]

i did not know i could shoot my own incendiary nades

[queen glacier]

Did they nerf the new dmr? Or am I just bad

[arctic grove]

Its painful to play redacted

I grt norm kills tbh even some good multikills which make me feel like the best of the best

Perfect for farming m3a5 mastery but man its impossible to actually camp in one place

[arctic grove]

I either flank through underground and succeed, or go through the fore storm of the fucking vents like here just to get to underground

Med pens come in cluth

Clutch

[final lintel]

i rarely go undereground

[arctic grove]

Probably me going underground is the reason for not getting much kills

[solar tinsel]

There were some nerfs to it in 6.2

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-update-notes-6-2

[spare pasture]

Is it just me or is the music we’ve gotten over the seasons really good

[queen glacier]

Ah ok ty! Everybody was saying how op it is n so I was excited to unlock it n then it felt mid

[paper sentinel]

still 2 shots

[topaz abyss]

yeah they did nerf it same with the vhx

[plucky chasm]

When is season 7 coming

[chilly jacinth]

after season 6

[queen glacier]

Vhx still feels nice

I miss the dm7 before all the dmrs got nerfed

[dense nexus]

Smgs having an issue with iron sights, can't ads with them

[upbeat sand]

[topaz abyss]

you know what i hate about this new game

they removed longest headshot in meters

i mean why

on your stats i mean

[upbeat sand]

?

[topaz abyss]

BF3 and 4 if you look on your stats you can see you recorded longest head shot

in 2042 it doesnt feature it

[upbeat sand]

Huh

[alpine jay]

Anyone know why my pc friend can't join us on xbox. We are all on next gen consoles

[upbeat sand]

Crossplay on?

On both sides

[topaz abyss]

xD crossplay no

[alpine jay]

Yes we can Join the same lobby but can't party up

[topaz abyss]

they are playing the same console

[alpine jay]

Xbox x and pc

[topaz abyss]

oh okay so

you guys added each other as friends im presuming right

[alpine jay]

Yeah

[upbeat sand]

So it just can't join parties but can join same games

[alpine jay]

Yeah

[topaz abyss]

meaning you cant squad up in meny

menu

[upbeat sand]

I think they mean the party not squad

[alpine jay]

Yeah cant join party even after inviting from recent players

[topaz abyss]

how about them joining directly off of you in menu

bottom right social

[alpine jay]

We can send invites but no one is receiving them

[topaz abyss]

but yeah if you have a pc player dude need crossplay on

[upbeat sand]

Try going open party so you or other can just join without invite

[topaz abyss]

^^ yeah try that

bottom right social, click on name and join party without invite

[alpine jay]

The pc friend isnt showing up even after adding and he cant join without an invite even with an open party

Currently restarting the console in hopes they show up

[topaz abyss]

add me on ea and let me see if i can join on you

[spare pasture]

January 28

[queen glacier]

Can you change key binds for specialists gadgets bc I cannot find it

[topaz abyss]

yup

edit keybinds here

[queen glacier]

There’s a key bind button for “specialist gadget” but they’re different for each specialist I thought?

[lone void]

No...?

[topaz abyss]

each specialist?

its the same overall

[lone void]

The equip button is the same

[queen glacier]

Specifically I was trying to find the trigger for the emp on the drone bc for some reason the like ability button in the bottom right was jsut a blank box and it wasn’t triggering

[lone void]

It's shoot

But you have to aim and lock on first

[topaz abyss]

oh okay so the drone

in order for emp to work you have to be fairly close to what you want to emp

its not a long range emp you will see for instance a beacon get fairly close but not to close to be shot down it will activate a lock similar to a stinger lock

then click left mouse or fire trigger to emp

[queen glacier]

Ok yes that did work I wanted to double check it wasn’t a server issue rq

Button works yes but the ability bar is blank?

[topaz abyss]

no that messed me up before xd like wtf why isnt it working

okay so the bar once you used it, will take some time to regenerate

[queen glacier]

Yeah yeah I mean like

[topaz abyss]

being blank maybe its the hud colour

[queen glacier]

It doesn’t have the lil attack picture and the keybind like it used to?

It’s just a blank blue bar, also it used to have a charge animation for the cooldown n it doesn’t rn?

[topaz abyss]

oh okay can you dm me a pic of it

[queen glacier]

Yis

[dense nexus]

bf1 and bfv didn't require this weird "connecting to online services" screen

like what

but you still get synced with the cloud in both of those games

[tacit sphinx]

me when slightly different loading screen presentation 🤯

[dense nexus]

no, it's just a bit long

[drowsy shuttle]

Lol the Praetorian Guard

[topaz abyss]

lol

other EU players are getting it now

so is bf down?

[dense nexus]

how the fuck standard ammo can pierce through lcaa's windows?

I hate dice so much

[chilly jacinth]

they can

[dense nexus]

this update somehow prevents me from ads

[chilly jacinth]

oh i thought you said cant

[dense nexus]

so they shouldnt be able to right?

[chilly jacinth]

they should be able to

[dense nexus]

why

[chilly jacinth]

why not?

[dense nexus]

well you can unlock ap ammo on guns pretty easily on some guns

• you can always pick and engie or c4 on any class

so why create this false sense of security

[chilly jacinth]

wdym false sense of security

its not like it says anywhere that it has armored glass

[tacit sphinx]

lol

it’s literally always been able to be shot through, it’s a light transport vehicle

[dense nexus]

But a frontline vehicle wouldn't use regular glass...

[chilly jacinth]

brother

[untold flower]

the fuck is a frontline vehicle

its a fucking hovercraft

[chilly jacinth]

have you seen the latv

[untold flower]

u goofball

[chilly jacinth]

it has no windows

[dense nexus]

ye

[drowsy shuttle]

It has Linux

[chilly jacinth]

same category of vehicle

[dense nexus]

I've had situations when it did stop standard ammo tho

[chilly jacinth]

no

[dense nexus]

or... their aim wasn't just good...

[spare pasture]

Anyone get those matches in Operation Redacted where the teams are evenly matched and you are in tug of war for a flank

[drowsy shuttle]

That

[tacit sphinx]

the hovercraft cabin has slightly odd hitboxes i find

trying to shoot occupants from the side can be a pain, doesn’t help that it tends to be drifting about

[drowsy shuttle]

It's a meme map, it's supposed to be like that.

[dense nexus]

Why the fuck i can't ads????? I verified my files and it's still bugged

[drowsy shuttle]

Operation Redacted is a fancy name

[dense nexus]

My character just has a stroke when trying to do it

[spare pasture]

Well it is a meatgrinder

[dense nexus]

Fort Vaux syndrome

[modest ivy]

Getting a deagle headshot on the gunner from an angle is satisfying. Even more so when they're shooting at you

[drowsy shuttle]

Same with latv, but yeah it's harder on the hovercraft

[dense nexus]

Try getting a good gunner on those tho

Random people don't know they can just unlink aiming from turning

[drowsy shuttle]

Same for the driver, when I'm the gunner the driver must be driving with his nose

[copper ice]

ap ammo is shit

[dense nexus]

Transport helis often suffer from both issues

[spare pasture]

Ap ammo wins most useless ammo to exist award

[chilly jacinth]

its too useless to win anything

[dense nexus]

nah am I the only one who can't ads on pc???

[glacial quarry]

@robust vapor @untold flower

[untold flower]

[untold flower]

everyone playing finals or what

i just joined a game

[untold flower]

post match so everyone left but we had alot of ppl leaving bc it was a very long overtime clutch

[untold flower]

[dense nexus]

Some maps on rush are just bad

they give attackers a ton of vehicles and defenders get only light transport

[next onyx]

Context?

[chilly jacinth]

its a bot

like real bot

[robust vapor]

I don't main RM68 but this skin looks lit

[glacial quarry]

why does incendiary nade go straight through walls its so annoying

[robust vapor]

[fluid scarab]

is the ea app having issues with friend list ?

[robust vapor]

ye

I'm online right now but I can't see my friends online

[fluid scarab]

ok thanks, i can see my friends online but i cant send them a message nor see them in BF to make a party they appear offline in game

[next onyx]

Its a bug with the ea app you'll need to restart the actual app itself.

[fluid scarab]

already did

also cleared cache and restarted pc

EA app has an issue

its not us its the app service issue

clearly an outage

[untold flower]

@glacial quarry i go shower first LOL later i join u back

[glacial quarry]

ok

[untold flower]

i was in aa the whole match

LOL

not a single death

[glacial quarry]

great balance

it was 22 vs 28

then for some fucking reason the game decided to put 4 more ppl into populated team

??????

is it broken or what

[robust vapor]

[queen glacier]

Never had this packet loss shi tho

Dunno if it’s another game issue or a me problem.

[robust vapor]

[topaz abyss]

launch the game through where its installed and not from the app

aka steam ea game pass etc

it will work from there

[robust vapor]

i just spawned and i kept dying @glacial quarry

[queen glacier]

Game auto updated, only issue found was only with Casper’s recon drone the ability cooldown bar was blurred out? Repaired thru ea, first try didn’t even start repairing had to force close ea and Xbox game pass then restart that n when I got on after that I had the ea issue lmao

Now every game has the red packet loss logo

[untold flower]

still dont see yall in the list

[queen glacier]

^ I noticed the ea issue only bc I tried to go to my recently played w ppl to add somebody and ea wouldn’t fuckin load

[robust vapor]

WTF

[queen glacier]

also still can’t figure out why ea won’t connect on bf4

[untold flower]

@robust vapor YOU LOOK AT MEEE THE SAME BUT II CANT RECIPROCATEEEEEEEE

[rigid nova]

friends list bugged?

[topaz abyss]

yeah

launch it from your drive not an app

[rigid nova]

it came back but i cant add people now

[arctic grove]

anyone want to squad up??

[lone void]

why the fuck are no engineers acually playing anti tank in breakthrough

there is an MAV and a tank and I'm the only fucking idiot shooting at them

[storm elbow]

I Wonder when there is something New ariving, content? I heard something new was beeing released soon?

[warm zealot]

Well that’s not me

I see a couple a week

I know how to identify them

[still vault]

No "naming and shaming"

[warm zealot]

Can I post gun stats then?

[soft dagger]

1st one looks legit, 2nd one not

[still vault]

As long as what you post can't be used identify a person you can post all the gun stats you want.

[warm zealot]

The 1st one is using a common Frostbite compatible aimbot

Where it prioritizes locking onto the body and results in an abnormally low headshot ratio

Hence his 33% K30 accuracy with 2% headshot rate

He also kept oneshotting everyone in the server so he could also be using a damage mod that allows for multiple bullets to be fired at once

[soft dagger]

my k30 accuracy is 40+ or more with low HS%

without spectator mode his stats looks ok

[warm zealot]

Guarantee it’s not

Unless you did that in some bot portal server

[still vault]

My lowest HS percentage is with melee. A fine 0,8% HS rate 😄

[soft dagger]

without actual ban or videos from spectator mode, plus legit stats overall - its nothing

[untold flower]

bro has a phd in cheat analysis 💀🙏

[warm zealot]

Also look at the rest of his gun stats

All of them have that insane accuracy + <5% hs ratio

[plush jay]

EA app shitting the bed atm ?

[still vault]

uhh, time to use the sticker

[plush jay]

pretty much everybody is offline for me atm

[azure zenith]

Everyone on the finals lol

[plush jay]

ok after restarting EA app 4 or so times it just works again

idek

[merry heart]

[azure zenith]

Thats funny. Lol 😂
But They really aren't hard to spot. Like if someones barrel is shaking rapidly when they are ADS that's soft lock or AA dialed up past the threshold. Spectate or not. But usually most who cheat are trash. Which no one care unless thet start flying tanks across the map. Lol 😂

[merry heart]

You're not d0kking hard enough

[glacial quarry]

its always no engineers on my team and the enemy has tanks and brawlers just sitting in the open for minutes

but when i play tank within 5 mins half the enemy team is engineer

[lone void]

I'm lucky if I can get 5 seconds before I'm blasted off the map

[candid jungle]

Is there hit reg issues in this? And stuttering? Bc istg my aim snaps onto people some times, and then i lag for at least a second, and then im dead. Or when i bhop around a corner n blast sum1, but somehow not one shot lands, and they one tap me

[glacial quarry]

never had any hitreg issues

[merry heart]

"some" "skill" "based" "match" "making"

[candid jungle]

when i try to host a Noname aim train custom, it gives me an error and doesn't let me start it. Any ideas on how to fix that?

[azure zenith]

Same. It was supposed to be fixed on 6.2 but it wasn't. Even my custom portals do the same thing or won't load in my practice bots. Even after I reset the sever on EA portal. Not sure. But it is annoying. Lol

[lunar finch]

😭

[lunar finch]

i have the opposite issue majority of my team in bt plays engineer but no one ever destroys vehicles or repairs me

it doesnt make any sense in my head. how do we have 15 engineers but are getting killed by a m1a5

[spare pasture]

Remember when the repair tool was optional

[rotund raft]

i cant start bf2042

[flat quail]

When will seasob 6 end?

[spare pasture]

January28

[flat quail]

danm

[pine roost]

It needs to be manually updated, evidently noname has stopped checking in on it

[ancient peak]

Love it when the team chokes on a 200 point lead out of complacency

Just lets the enemy team backcap repeatedly

[vital mauve]

When is the rizzmas event

[mental delta]

What if next BF game wins Game Awards

[pine roost]

I will eat my sock

[tacit sphinx]

i think like one multiplayer focused game ever has won GOTY

[pine roost]

Which makes sense

[tacit sphinx]

any game award? totally

game of the year specifically unlikely

[pine roost]

If you are into a singleplayer game, you are basically guaranteed to like the whole thing

So more people attach to games like rdr or gow

[tacit sphinx]

i mean the one multiplayer GOTY was overwatch

[pine roost]

Fallout 76 won game of the year didnt it, because it has a game of the year edition. Right… RIGHT?

[tacit sphinx]

ultimately the game awards don’t mean a whole lot either way

[tacit sphinx]

no

[slender hare]

did overwatch win any awards btw?

[tacit sphinx]

it may have won an award at TGA

it wasn’t GOTY

[tacit sphinx]

bruh

[pine roost]

Overwatch got a few I’m fairly sure

It did well

[slender hare]

I see

[pine roost]

As well as goty of course

[tacit sphinx]

yeah there’s tons of awards at TGA, the main one people care about is game of the year or [category] game of the year

like action/adventure/indie etc

[pine roost]

I just use it as a way to see what games I should consider playing

As well as which I should like into to study it’s design

I don’t care if a game I like doesn’t get an award

[mental delta]

I was mostly joking because even though I don't pay attention to game awards they rarely reward FPS MP games like BF and COD

[royal swan]

Yeah I don't think they even nominated a cod game this year

Which is a first

[tacit sphinx]

what

are you talking about the game of the year award

[final lintel]

thank god, it didnt deserve any

[tacit sphinx]

or any award in general

[royal swan]

I'm talking about the game awards

This is the first (that I have been told) where they didn't get nominated

[tacit sphinx]

literally no call of duty game has been shortlisted for the game of the year award

they may have had nominations in other categories, but not for the main GOTY award

[royal swan]

For basic awards yes

Last year they were nominated

For sound design or some shit

action, and multiplayer

But this year, they got nothing, no nominations

[tacit sphinx]

ok

[next onyx]

Had cod even been?

Even ever.

[pine roost]

for goty, dunno

they defo got some other ones at some point

[tacit sphinx]

yeah they get noms in like sound design and stuff, multiplayer games do, but it’s much harder to make it into the bigger categories especially game of the year

[chilly jacinth]

nominations mean nothing in the end

[tacit sphinx]

tbf the awards themselves

like winning goty is mostly a nice bit of promo and you get to sell a new version of the game with “GOTY edition” slapped on it lol

[patent pivot]

let's be honest

award shows in general are often bad

[tacit sphinx]

no way

[solar tinsel]

It really is what it is, which is peer/industry recognition. That is not bad at all, but there's also a difference between peer recognition and sales. I think that's true for anything

It has its value and I imagine it feels great for the teams that win or are even nominated, deservedly so

[tacit sphinx]

yeah the awards and stuff is like whatever

the game awards (like as in the event/ceremony) is definitely going down in people’s esteem, especially after this year’s

[solar tinsel]

is there another though of a similar caliber? (I admittedly dont know)

like as far as live event shows go

not just Outlet X's awards

[next onyx]

I don't really care about the game awards but I think it's really nice when a super positively recieved practically wins.

[tacit sphinx]

more ads than content and more specifically just disrespectful to the developers, giving them like thirty seconds then asking them to wrap it up on the teleprompter while they’re trying to pay some respects to a member of the team who passed during development

[tacit sphinx]

not really

[patent pivot]

award shows are just attraction for celebrity, corpation takeover and Hollywood practicality

[solar tinsel]

yeah that is obviously not good. I think that is the stuff they can hopefully learn from though. Is the award show broadcasted at all on network? Or is it web/YouTube?

If its the latter, I'm not sure what's compelling them to such a tight timeframe.

[tacit sphinx]

it’s not on tv afaik, just steamed

streamed lol

[solar tinsel]

and if its the former, they just need to tighten, maybe trim down the pre-show stuff and be more selective on ads (charge more?) and then allocate the extra time for speeches if it makes sense

yeah so its not like theres a time slot they need to hit, unless they're being charged by the hour for the venue or production company or whatever ha

maybe the venue has a limit, either way though

[tacit sphinx]

basically money i think unfortunately

[solar tinsel]

they could probably better allocate the time

[tacit sphinx]

idrk i’ve not looked into it super closely, i don’t watch the ceremony (it was also at like 1am or something for me lol) but from what i’ve seen it was almost like the awards were an afterthought

[solar tinsel]

I have a good deal amount of respect for Geoff Keighley and I think he's done a lot to expand gaming's maintream presentation, so I'd like to think he will help get it there although of course a lot of people are involved, and like you said,money

[solar tinsel]

Yeah theres definitely more ads reveals too, which I think makes sense though for this industry

people love reveals, they need an "E3" type of event

I just think they probably can trim the fat and make sure they aren't being disrespectful when wrapping

like, dont just set a timer, listen to whats being said and cue the music if it's getting silly

[patent pivot]

TV shows in nutshell

always sacrifice crucial information

[solar tinsel]

"Hey so we need to cut for time, should we cut down that action scene that runs on for too long?"
"Nah kill that critical exposition sequence"

Reminds me of the Assassins Creed movie, which unfortunately, Id did watch

[patent pivot]

Everytime with ghost adventures

I question them if they intentionally cut out additional evidence

or inconsistent scene change

[minor magnet]

Anyone issues with friends inviting on 2042?

[topaz abyss]

been happening all day

[minor magnet]

i also had a bug where my camera stays where my soldier goes in vehicle

so i see myself driving off

[final lintel]

i dont got friends to invite

[kindred flint]

social issue

[spare pasture]

[final lintel]

[kindred flint]

all i wanted to do was to get 1 cap/uncap as an engineer...apparently that was impossible in the match i joined

[sour marlin]

Goooooood morning Vietnam

[empty idol]

Me:gets seven hitmarkers at close range
BF: thats about 20 damage

[drowsy shuttle]

Did they buff Crawford mini gun or something? The last few days I've seen lot of people using it

[still vault]

Doesn't seem buffed to me. He is one of the few remaining engineers I have not T1'ed though which is why I'm using him more these days.

[kindred flint]

people are probably using it to finish the mission off

[sour marlin]

So I have questions

Why is there never servers in OCE?

can’t we have persistent servers pls

[merry heart]

nope. the only thing changed i know was back in season 5 where they changed it to be way more effective against air vehicles.

[drowsy shuttle]

I only die to 3 weapons

The VHX

The VHX

And the VHX

Lol

Feels like the RM68 all over again

[merry heart]

last night i got 2-shot headshotted by a VHX from 75 meters

i threw my mouse at a wall and brought a new mouse

[drowsy shuttle]

Lol anger management?

[merry heart]

maybe

[final lintel]

vhx, msc pump shotty, and the 12m. thats all for me

[merry heart]

you know what throwable explosive i want back in 2042?

[merry heart]

i was in luck tho

[final lintel]

[merry heart]

brough a $150 gaming mouse for $25

[kindred flint]

bro wtf ...what could a mouse possibly have in it that makes it worth $150

[low timber]

Hand warmer

[merry heart]

iunno but its a logitech mouse

[naive quiver]

https://stockx.com/en-gb/finalmouse-starlight-12-poseidon-wireless-mouse-medium

[merry heart]

the holes make it $150

[naive quiver]

[supple ravine]

What's the craic lads

[rotund kite]

this mouse better run bf2042 ultra settings

[merry heart]

if it has more holes, the better 2042 runs

[naive quiver]

Definitely, also can 10 kills on one click

[kindred flint]

this is like Porsche removing items from a car and making it more expensive

[kindred flint]

10 clicks with 1 click?

[naive quiver]

[merry heart]

cringe name cringe price

[final lintel]

thats one gawdy ugly ass mouse

[naive quiver]

Fans boy don’t like to hear that

[rotund kite]

this one better drive me to work

[robust vapor]

[kindred flint]

love how its 8 pounds instead of just an even 500

[rotund kite]

it def has more holes than the previous one, that's why it is more expenseive bro

[vernal mesa]

Can someone explain the stupid ass logic of being able to shoot someone even though all they can see is the top of your head and your gun and bullets go right through the wall

[final lintel]

need a clip

[pine roost]

Because bullets originate from the camera

Since like every game ever

Projectile tracers appear from the gun but the actual position will start at the eye

[topaz abyss]

what a nice little head shot xD

[lone onyx]

Iv found this out on a few maps. Fully in cover amd can see so from afterkill cam but still get downed from impossible angle.

[pine roost]

Peachy

[calm bison]

Yeah I’m learning that I’m a better jet pilot than a chopper pilot

Go figure

[weak vector]

Breakthrough is a trash game mode can't change my mind

[pseudo pecan]

that guy that grapples looks like seth green a bit

[rotund kite]

that's what seth will be doing in 2042

[vernal mesa]

Yeah happens a lot when looking over stairs or a corner while looking down, seems it's been normalized so it probably won't change

[pine roost]

Normalised? It’s how games were originally designed

I wouldn’t mind them changing the projectile origins if they wish but I just like the consistency of knowing that if they are at screen centre, it’ll hit

[ebon pilot]

alternatively go play a tactical fps like insurgency sandstorm

[pine roost]

True

But since we naturally lack depth perception on a 2D screen, having it that way could just lead to inconsistencies

[ebon pilot]

in insurgency if you attempt to ADS into a wall that blocks your gun you point the gun up until the block is removed

and you generally want to ADS at all times when shooting since not doing that is highly inaccurate

[stone yew]

Anyone else have the bug where you try to spawn on the flying bike and it spawn you under the ground on breaktrhough as a defender in the first area?

It just happened to me

[vernal mesa]

Yeah but if you can literally see bullets going through walls with no gun in sight it ain't right. I wouldn't care if they added some stupid animation where the character holds the weapon above their head so it matches the camera but dice is lame as hell now and doesn't do any funny animations or easter eggs. I only talk about issues like this cause I'm mad I died to it :/

[stone yew]

https://gyazo.com/309db9b65d702ec2807d85c9c7fdbd2d

and to clarify, I can't affect anything above me, i.e. players or objectives

Been playing the finals. Then I decided to jump onto 2042. Feels clunky asf. My ping was all over the place, people were still wall glitching, and the spread on the dm7 is fukin awful rn. Felt like I was half a second slower than everyone. Never really had them problems jumping between warzone and BF2042. Anyone else having weird issues?

[quaint vector]

Personally I think it will be the other week, not this one

[final lintel]

love a good 30+ minute stalemate in redacted

[solar tinsel]

I had one go down to 7min remaining before a team ran of tickets, the dang thing nearly went to time.

[final lintel]

yeah that game wasnt exactly close, but i got hella kills so thats why is here lol

[solar tinsel]

but it def. happens in Redacted, if you can get a 2-2 lockand it stays that way. For us thats what happened, and whenever someone capped there was an immediate cap back somewhere else, even some flags sitting neutral for some time to stall bleed even more

[final lintel]

thats how it goes indeed

[robust vapor]

Glad this week's missions are easy too

Some of them are just a bit more tiring to do

[final lintel]

Shut off brain, mindless grind

[arctic grove]

Real so satisfying when you complete the missions

Its like neural activstion

Too bad i have school

I will probably only get to play normally tuesday and friday

4 tests this week

Then next one and im done finally

[ebon pilot]

hah school

i remember when i had school

now i have zero sense of what time of year it is

[frozen loom]

When you graduate college and go into the workforce full-time, time speeds up like no other. You do the same shit everyday and don't notice the minutia of the repetition.

It sucks.

All progression seems to have stopped unless you buy a house, get married, have children, and then retire.

Feels like grinding in a game.

I felt more progression in life grinding my gun attachments in one month than I did over 6 years in my previous career.

I should grind that new pistol.

Not sure if this is the right channel, but I think my in-game chat is broken. Anyone else having issues with chat?

Noone ever talks in game so idk

People used to type in game chat but now they never do

or voice chat

[rough thorn]

I took a 2 month break and people would actually type in chat then. 😕

I guess a lot has changed

To hear someone in vc was much more uncommon, but now I’m lucky if I get either one

[next onyx]

Yeah people are rather quiet in squad chat.

[spare quest]

Nobody ever really used the ingame vc in any battlefield

And the 2042 chat is just dead because the global chat is turned off by default

Great idea btw

Today we have made a slight alteration to the Replenish Rate of Missiles on Jet Aircraft on #Battlefield2042

Going forward they will now replenish at a rate of 1.8 seconds (changed from 1.4).

While overall we are happy with the changes to Jets, we are witnessing airstrike potential being faster than anticipated. This slight change will slow that down, while still allowing for them to be capable in the sky.

This change is now live and will take a moment to propagate across all live servers.

[gloomy wyvern]

Not enough effort...

I take it redacted conquest is the new permanent 24/7 server

[sour marlin]

Lol

[next onyx]

Jet. :]

[gloomy wyvern]

Considering it's been in the same slot for the past 8 months now?

If not it sure shit feels like it

[sour marlin]

Never any servers in Oce for breakthrough

Is low key my fav mode

[gloomy wyvern]

I don't know why they refuse to leave breakthrough without vehicles

[sour marlin]

Just gonna move back to the uk

[next onyx]

Unfortunately that's just the case here.

[sour marlin]

see it would be an issue w persistent servers, I found one earlier and then ur shutdown

[next onyx]

Flashback bt would be cool to see again.

[gloomy wyvern]

Vehicle less breakthrough is literally conquest with One direction

[sour marlin]

Infantry breakthrough 128 portal

Let me smash

[next onyx]

Would be nice to see bt caspian and valparaiso.

[sour marlin]

Bc maps breakthrough

That I’d play

[next onyx]

Arica harbour plays wonderfully.

Noshahr bt is ok.

Arica just inherits the rush layout with a bit of a spruce up.

[sour marlin]

Tbf I would love to see a 2042 guns and specialists bc2 bf3vehicles and old school maps on 64 breakthrough

To me that would slap

[next onyx]

Bt Al alamein though that would be pain.

[sour marlin]

Nah bin Alamein

[next onyx]

But they could do the combat right along the centre.

I feel like the hills could be used.

[sour marlin]

Way too open

[next onyx]

As the main centrepiece.

[sour marlin]

Never liked it tbf

[next onyx]

Its not a good map.

[sour marlin]

Val is my fav on portal

[next onyx]

That's good too.

[sour marlin]

Just a top tier map

Like, I’d like to see some more of the bf4 carrier maps back

Or the china rising dlc maps

And the North Korea one they’re good

[gloomy wyvern]

I'm pleased to say after 4 months of not playing battlefield, they have exterminated the rat problem that existed in redacted

(Rat problem is associated to skill less players spawning outside of play area)

Also

likely just an oversight on the render (quite possibly an old render as well, several of these skins are like two years old)

[tacit sphinx]

but it would be nice to be able to remove the grenade launcher, just for the looks
