Ah, those were the days! I used the VHX and RM68 like crazy when they were at their peak. It was wild, the hype around them was just insane!
Na the VHX is older

Either way one little teeny tiny buff on the vhx it'll be a whole rm68 issue again. Lol š
I never got into the VHX. I used it a couple of times.
twas busted, tis still
It reminds me of the FAMAS.
famas time
upgraded my pc and now i get no more drops below 200 fps on redacted, I have been blessed
What do you have now?
anyone wanna battlefield play for abit

ok thanks just joined the server didnt see it
Its okey 
quick question whats the recruitment thing for
2042 when
You can recruit more players into your Platoon/Clan there.
You can read all the Channels info here -> #info
I'm very lucky to have this one, also got the code for the ingame Dog Tag 

this one is new
Do you collect the game merch?
can't collect if the company decided not to sell
Well, yeah..

That's what Etsy is for.
Try Etsy.
I love Etsy.
I just ordered a titanium coin to make trivial decisions.

Like Kanao from Demon Slayer.
ok thnx
I'm going to use a randomizer from now on to select my operator and main gun.
I got tired of chasing vehicles down.


tfw when a dogtag price is more expensive than the game itself

and this is just BF4
imagine 2042

How much was it?
from 10900k/3080 to 7800x3d/4080
i got the 4080 at a good price over my company so ya
That's expensive shipping.
ye
Is all your shipping like that?
international shipping
I mean the item is from another country
far far away

unless I get WindowsMan to deliver me some
No free shipping?
Isn't there like "spend $50 and get free shipping"? It's better to tack on some other items and still come out spending less.
It's not like that's the only website
Like you said there's etsy
Amazon
Redbubble
blah blah blah etc
I can't wait to get my coin from Etsy.
I've yet to make decisions
Etsy takes forever to ship.


This BF dog tag looks better.
right now I can safely say I'm elated enough to have like a duplicate of 2042 t-shirts
yus

I got a 2042 sticker
and I stick it onto my infantry battle vest

anyone that sees it will know that my IBV belongs to me
The worst battlefield


Caught with cheese on yo' face.
I played the campaign and fell out of the map on my first go 
ayo 
I could still send you from more than that distance
But since you're there at 210m I might as well send one



When are we getting orbital strikes called The Hand of God?
Animate it like that.
Tbh it's 2042 but no Russian Katyusha
I don't know what that means.

but I can destroy your surroundings and fill the sector with radiation
give you the nuclear winter era

radiated denneh

More classic enders 
That mode isnāt just bad, itās basically nonfunctional
@untold flower @robust vapor play in 10mins?
Like how do you fuck up an infection mode
not tonight sir sorry
Not tonight sir sorry
playing rn
ikr
trying to save a fellow bird
think i was Crawford yesterday so yeah ressing a bit slow
:X
did we win yesterday tho @glacial quarry
the orbital map
i dont remember losing
o ye we won
should I go back to battlefield 2042?
Depends if you enjoy playing it
I do I haven't played it since it was launched on ps plus
just don't expect old content to return
oh ok I have battlefield 5 but why not try 2042
ok
oy dice i got your back, here is your new christmas picture
Is it possible that this new event is a bit unbalanced? Itās always the guys with the guns winning. Well, obviously
Itās a ābrought a knife to a gunfightā simulator
Yes
The problem with the elves gamemode is that itās fun to play as the Santas
But itās awful as the elves
This is so pointless holyš
Why must I always be one of these elves
Itās so horrible, you canāt do anything
Like, legit nothing
Jesus we won. Probably the first time the elves team has ever won lol
Hereās what I would to fix this mode (Iāve done this before)
You tap the Conquest Button instead in the main menu, fixes everything
- Buff the kill count to 150
- Give the elves either incendiary grenades or throwing knives
Now after a certain amount of elves is reached
Remove the incendiaries
I've got like 100 kills/assists left for the rail gun tank then I've got all vehicles in breakthrough t1
Gonna be sad to just be exclusively a conquest player after lol
Or. Humor me, the penguins have joined forces with Cthulhu to get their revenge for us bringing war to their glaciers š
It has a cute little hat and the ground is red and white, nothing more christmas than that.

Yknow there are some things that are better off not existing
This is awful
And I hate it
GREAT JOB
Thanks.
The Christmas background animation in-game in 2042, the one with 1's and 0's as snow. Has anyone made that into a wallpaper?
Iāll invest in that
A sudden snow storm rises throughout the world and those little feckers invade
Just think of the obvious merch opportunities
Literally a marketable plushie

$40 somewhere like $65 probably low balling it with 40 probably $80
This is better
Ultimate Pack gives you Battle Pass, 20 Tier skips, Skin for Falck & Skin for VHX-D3
#buffvhx

ok i just need to reload the game
E
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOHOHOHO
hi guys
Who the fuck thought putting a kill limit on the infected mode was a good idea
LOL
I was being chased by some enemy in Redacted zipline tunnels so I jumped off the zipline in the middle of the tunnel and aimed the way I came from and killed them, and instantly after they say in all chat:
There goes my report
Funnier thing is that they got too greedy, as it was the US uncap tunnel so that enemy had the 10 second out of bound timer.
never smart being greedy lol
why is the layout a croissant
Why aren't more layouts a croissant
coffin princess went hard

wdym, its like half the kills i ever get in this game

What is good about the frostbite engine? The visuals? I know they want to stay with their own product but damn
Itās the only engine that can really handle the workload of a bf game
That we know of
Unreal canāt?
no
unreal engine isn't built to handle the tasks that games that run on the frostbite engine rely on
different engine, different needs, that's why they have their own
People see the potential of destruction provided by Unreal 5, completely failing to realize that the Battlefield games donāt work like that
But their own engine held them back and hurt the production of 2042
sorry my guy that's a absurd thing to say
this game wasn't held back by the engine, it was held back because it was rebuilt 2/3 times during development
if they didn't use the frostbite engine you wouldn't have 128 players whatsoever in the game
if you think the studio which built the frostbite engine, DICE, are held back by their own engine, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of game development
Didnāt they have to update the engine halfway through the games development?
no
the frostbite engine has been upgraded in preparation for the next game, not this
According to Tom Henderson they did
don't believe everything you read online
tldr
the game was built to be a battle royale and then scrapped and redone which is why we got the launch we did, it had nothing to do with the frostbite engine
you're lucky they're using it to begin with or the game wouldn't exist
Yeah but you wouldnāt know if they didnāt either. We just donāt know that answer.
??
you know the frostbite engine isn't some secret lair where they sit all day and make stuff? that they actually publish this stuff?
You donāt know that they didnāt have to update the engine during development
They wouldnāt tell us that
lol you actually think a engine can upgraded in a span of 6 months before a game is due to launch?
you know what upgrading a engine entails right?
Iām not saying 6months, Iām just saying that it couldāve happened
They very well could be
no you're saying that it could have happened because you can't think of a good reason which is true based on what we know, so you default to a backtrack immediately
stick to reality
the frostbite engine was built by DICE, the literal makers, of this game, your logic is faulty and doesn't stand up to the slightest bit of reasoning
The guys that originally built the engine are all gone.
if we run on what you are saying is true then Fortnite was held back by the unreal engine, which is as all know, never happened
and?
you know that iteration of the engine is over a decade old? lol
things move and change, stop grasping at straws, you look silly
visuals, optimization, netcode (at least for me), what else player need
mmmm quaso
yo this is fire
s7 in march
long ass way but still fire
hopefully multiple maps tho
that person also said 2042 was on a skeleton crew and was set to be abandoned after season 4.
Shows how much they know/how reliable their sources are

i do wonder when the next battlefield game is tho
usually there's 2-3 years between releases
2025 at the earliest I hope. Next game needs to be BF1 levels of good/polished IMHO.
shit i'd take bf1/5 style of movement and gunplay ngl
I hope they slow the gunplay down TBH. I hate how fast shooters have become
Where I go to report a bug?
yeah like bf4 kinda
remove crouch slide
and remove tac sprint

keep slide but slow it down a bit
and restore dolphin dive
and bring back battle roll and crouch run
nah bf5 deathcam was dope
that one was cool with 1st person death
also restore first person take downs 
What i'd like is:
- Slower movement/gunplay (Somewhere between BF4 > BF5)
- No random spread on weapons (Recoil patterns instead)
- Melee weapons types/1st person takedowns (Like BF1)
- No counter knife/front knifing (Unless some form of bayonet)
- Remove squad revive from core mechanics (Make medics important), but allow enabling in custom games/servers
- No spotting at all while downed (A downed player shouldn't be able to spot your position after you have defeated them)
- Allow players to take ammo from support players/players carrying ammo (Like in Hardline)
Ew, agreed, dont care, agreed, fuck no, agreed, yes please
Squad revive is such a fucked mechanic for a game like BF.
Makes sense in a BR, not in conquest, BT or rush
it actually insentivises squad play
Like...ive beaten 3/4 of your squad...but just because I wasnt able to kill 4/4...all 4 are now revived by that player regardless of their class. wow, thats fun
The incentive of that 4th player surviving (If they arent a medic) should be that their squad can now spawn on them in an advantageous position...not "Oh I can now just revive all of you"...your defeat meant nothing
All of these things actually dilute class roles/gameplay.
Either that or have totally separate timers for squad/medic revives.
10 seconds for squad, 25 for medic. (Or something similar)
Is this part wrong?? Skelton crew
Considering the game got 3 more seasons, yes
IMO these 7 seasons are about 2 dlcs worth. Just drip fed it
Thats live service for ya
I agree with your first point, but I donāt fully agree with the 2nd because spread has always been used for gun balancing in fps like CoD and Battlefield. If you rely on recoil values exclusively thatās just going to create an equally awful experience as if spread is too overtuned
Too much recoil values and you also alienate casuals since itāll function like a milsim or something
I just heavily dislike random bullet spread. I always enjoyed how BF3 handled recoil.
Maybe there are some rose tinted goggles at play here, but I prefer to be able to learn a weapon, versus the current games where you just fund the highest damage, with the highest RPM and the least spread. It makes for very boring weapons IMO
24 maps in a year in previous titles vs 4 that we get now. You canāt help but wonder if itās a Skeleton crew working on this.
Same amount of content we got in season 1...same amount of content that was promised with each season
ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Iām mixed on the skeleton crew position, skeleton crew is a pretty exaggerated figurative thing that I wouldnāt take literally but the game canāt have a larger team on it
I completely agree, I think for battlefield bf3/4 have the best gunplay for the series but in aaa fps I honestly think mw2/3 have that crown
Yeah I mean is it 5 guys doing this no? But it sure seems like less crew than past titles
They wouldnt be doing any new seasons with a small team. Let alone annoucne a new season with multiple maps.
(Two maps)
2 isnt multiple?
I have no need or want to talk to someone liek you anyways, you will always try to spin a negative. Have a good evening
Youāre right it is multiple. Sorry but I canāt help but be irritated with the lack of content.
MW2 for once tried to stop peopleās obsession with lasers they enjoyed all for MW19s life but then people complained

A couple is 2
A few is 3
4 is many
Multiple is 5 or more
I would think itās sustainable even for a limited crew to continue with y2 content if itās spaced out 3 months apart, but since none of us work for dice we canāt know for certain. Iām generally speculating here
Even if we did work for dice thereās obviously classification and ndaās 
@vocal tusk Im sorry im negative about this game but god damn itās tough. Yes I am happy that we are getting more than one map. Thatās a one positive thing.
The alternative is nothing for the next 2 years. I play a lot of other games, so I have nothing to complain about. BF is not my life or only game, nor should it be anyones.
At least the season maps are better than the base game š„²
I mean new maps are cool and all but itās understandable to be upset at the pacing we have here vs predecessors
i think it's worth noting that literally anything from tom henderson is a) like 2 years old at this point and b) was never actually worth putting any stock in to start with lol
When did you start with BF. I started with 1942 in pc
BF2
DICE if they were epic

But went back and played a lot of 1942 once I got more into the series with vietnam, BC, BC2...ETC
Bf4 ps4 2015
I wasnāt asked but I must include myself 
buff lis launcher š
So most of guys know what once was and what the state is now.
Yes
Even a series newbie only has to google the roadmaps for each game to see the differences honestly
BF4 was probs my favorite tho. So much fun, varied combat. From urban, to forested, to naval, to air. Didnt know how well we had it when we had it.
Agreed
Thatās why I hate when people argue against anything that isnāt just fucking locker or something lol. Like give us another Argonne or heligoland
Bf4 and 1 had some of the most variety of map terrain and play styles ever
Paracel Storm was one of my fav maps. Had a bit of everything.
Iām done with redacted lol, that lasted like two weeks. No more playing a DLCs server with the server browser
Slightly off topic but people criticize bf1 gameplay and itās like
My brother in Christ have you seen the map variety
Servers with the Aftermath DLC. Or back to Karkand only.
Unfortunately besides redacted 2042 has been following the same rural field map design
I like Spearhead and Flashpoint actually
Grapple hook I hope never returns. Imagine how much that gadget would spoil a map like zavod in BF4
I was already pretty jaded with 2042 by season 4 but flashpoint just didnāt hit right with me
I dont like flashpoint or spearhead. Slug maps are just boring to me.
Spearhead was good memes because giant cubes, although Iām indifferent to it
It wasnāt horrible but it wasnāt all that interesting to me either
I prefer maps like caspian border. Central flags, then outer flags you can rotate to from said internal flags
I miss gulf of Oman
I used to have so much fun spawning from US side on Oman and taking a helicopter ride to the map
(Half of the time the pilots crashed)

worse than launch 2042 maps
Caspian is fine itās just definitely not designed for 2042s gunplay
Any of the old maps would seem bad in 2042 but thatās because this is still pretty basic with gunplay. Damage drop off, spread and recoil isnāt as aggressive as bf3
I want close quarters too. Operation 925

Wtf you got all them small building at the back of the map and the front
Not the hilltop obviously.
You guys want flood zone? I like that hainan resort.
Maps like floodzone would work well with more fleshed out water mechanics
The one bad thing about all them maps we got with the dlcs back in the day. I canāt honestly remember much about the end game dlc bf3. Kaiser railroad, riverside. All them seasons maps.
I canāt remember playing it much lol. Great maps but got lost
@patent pivot enlighten this man
ARMOR KILLED MAPS
Yeah I remember Alborez mountains and Bandar desert. But fuckin nebandon flats, Sabalan pipeline. I canāt remember playing lol. BEAUTUFUL maps though
I think I remember capture the flag on those maps...maybe?
dont forget scavenger
Perhaps I should install vu to play these maps
imagine BF4 brought back epicenter
there would had been an earthquake levolution


With bots I guess
Yea but thatās fine for me personally
Bots are funny, I like sitting there and watching them think in real time about what to do
Aināt much going on with players which sucks, but. VU is dope
True, players are way more fast paced, however bots are cool cause you can chill and play casually
I might try reality mod one time to see how it is
Imo every fps should have local and online
you should go ask the giant companies


If they just gave us a few more portal maps dam it Iād be in there revisiting my past
What is BF4 WR
NO shit? Didnāt know it was a thing
BF4 WR is gonna be the best
join their discord
Is this new? How is this better than vu
VU had missing features
whereas WR will retain game features
now I can finally play zavod night time with bots

Fuck people who dont want to play that map
Mmm š¤ Iāll be playing ranked. Aka normal multiplayer
I like to see you play Defuse
now double the max player
2 squads

Yes sirski
Night maps is meh š
you are lame AF
People just camp all day. Like they do on hardcore.
I can only play night maps if itās like TDM and dom
aside from some bots with snipers, LMG, mortar and ucav combo
im confident they can be advanced to continue moving after time frame passed
Mmm š¤
this is a fair point actually, bots have no self preservation or sense of fear so they won't cower away like players might do on night maps
or worse, using UCAV and mortar there
I don't know if its just me but it has been months and I never got into th game since then in Battlefield 2042,
its always a 3/64 lobbies or a 30minute wait time at the match queue just to get back in the lobby menu, yes crossplay is enabled.
If y'all are getting bored of 2042, may I suggest 128 player Payload?
Classic mode from team fortress 2 and overwatch?
But 128 players
I'd rather play l4d
why does this christmas event take so long
Well, it's not even Christmas yet.
Imagine my shock when the Christmas event is still going on before Christmas hits
i dont mind it. i used to play Quake 1 CTF Three-Wave Arena competitively back in the late '90s
Iād rather grind an mmo if Iām that bored
MMOs is lame asf
?
If bored of 2042
š¤·āāļø
what's final
Battlebit is half dead and full of cheaters but there is SOME fun you can get out of it
Finals is fun when you're squad mates aren't total idiots
And most of the time they are total idiots
It's a better with friends game
how you dont know with how much people in this chat talk about it?
Best game evar
I don't remember
Once they fix flight assist Iāll be calling myself a finals enjoyer
Itās the game embark made recently, the red one with the tv show feel and coin explosions on kill
Now I wouldn't say that
There was meant to be a hint of sarcasm in that
But regardless, itās still an absolute blast
Always come away from a session feeling happy
And to add onto the earlier discussion, yes, battle bit and the finals are different gameplay designs than cod/battlefield. The point is cod and battlefield arenāt fun games at this moment, thus people are looking for alternatives
Like if anything people are having more fun with those games over battlefield and cod
it's actually closer to battlefield design than you'd think at first glance
the game is though a distinct identity from other games which guarantees it's success, embark have also been phenomenal with communication, the game will go far over the next few years
is there anyone who speak arabic
sitting in the middle of the hall on the redacted flank is the biggest middle finger to the enemy team
like we talking regular, Egyptian, turkish arabic
arabic
Arabic has many dialects same way Spanish does
anyone is fine
Technically no
That's like saying Hispanic Spanish is similar to Spaniard spanish
Or Cantonese is similar to traditional Chinese
Dialects matter
Even English has different dialects
American vs European vs Australian
trunk vs boot
Brits call fries chips
Jokes aside I assume heās just looking for games so I doubt itās gonna be that complicated for him guys 
what does this even mean? did rockstar go to his house and personally beat him up or something?

WTF is wrong with you people ?
That is a crime against Foodmanity
I got the Doha map 5 times in a row and I'm genuinely thinking they might change the name to this š š
you do realise saudi arabia owns 10% of EA shares
Oh wait they did do that
yee
I still wonder why 
doks gonna be dissapeared
Hoping everyone has/had a great day!!
i hate the squad order notification
like fuck its so inconsistent aswell
like you could not issue a order at all
for 5 minutes and it will not pop up
on some games you dont issue an order for half a millisecond
the game is like PLACE A FUCKING ORDER
Ye gets a little annoying but someone needs a lil nap
Lmao
man i gotta get a new T1 badge to put on my player card
everyone got the T1 MCS now because Redacted
what's the hardest primary weapon to T1 in yalls opinion
NVK-22
Probably the crossbow
I think it only prompts if a squad member marks an objective
Tuk Tuk
Or if a squad member uses "Request Order" in the ping menu
..well youāre not gonna find much better there either 
But nah I mean all you really had to do was wait for servers to rotate maps or something
Cause all but 1 2042 map is basically Sinai anyways
why cant i equip 20mm in night bird.
@patent pivot I actually played on Moncaz monolith or whatever with bots tonight and it was really fun lol
That map is still amazing!
With vu?
Any pilots?
@robust vapor
mf thinks the whole world speaks mandarin
š š region lock china so i dont have to deal with this bs

Lethal company is like £8 how have you spent all your money on it
Embed fail
How much is 2042 rn
Asking for a friend
what platform
cant check that urself? lol
I am at work
currently on sale as of the steam winter sale for 12 euros
Based thank you
elite edition is close to 20 euros but go with the basic version i say
sale ends on 4th of january
If you send me a message, I'll send you a code.
why cant bf2042 implement longest head shot kill in your stats
that was such a great feature in the previous titles for snipers to boast about there longest range
The new mode is eh
bruh this zrn guy just farms kills with the tank and doesnt play obj @glacial quarry
so he ends up contributing fuck all to the team
thats what ur supposed to do as tank in BT
just farm kills
its suicide to push with a tank unless ur team is good and you have a mav in front of u
except he doesnt shoot at their armour
and hes at the other side of the map solo fighting a small amount of infantry
If youre not playing tor why bother shooting at armor
so we get rickrolled by their mav and tanks on the pt
only target tanks when theyre low
no reason to spend so many HE shells trying to take out a tank when those same shells can get you 6-10 kills
l4d is goated
owo

None of your beeswax
@untold flower @robust vapor playing now
yeee
What?! That's cool
god what I wouldn't give for a server browser
lol
LMAO
@glacial quarry
look at the squad
bros a paik 12m auto user
LOL
any ideas ?
someone just spent an entire match trying to sabotage me cuz he thought i was hacking lol
thats how it should work
@glacial quarry
literally 25mins just finding me and throwing smoke at me to block me
@glacial quarry gtg
ggs
@glacial quarry @robust vapor
mf went 1-21 just because he though pelican was cheating (he is cheating)
how do you report with video evidence
bro was griefing the entire team just cuz he thought i was hacking XD
idk probably email EA CS or something
try ur luck
bro we legit could have won if he didnt keep smoking the chokepoints
i took down the stupid wildcat on the point too 
š he fucked the whole game with his smokes
sometimes im on top waiting for someone to pop out and he smokes me
like ??
Since you have 1 digit latency, from their perspective you probably one shot them like some actual aimbotter š¤
i hope his pc explodes and take him along with it
he gets 2-3ms i get 1ms
we're literally neighbours
and i am the server

Got that Singapore connection

Hi all, who found a laptop on the port arica map, tell me how to activate it, and does it do anything?
you control the mini chopper
ok š, how to activate it? I just stand behind this laptop but nothing happens
Thanks for the help

Pc and xbox can play togther or what?
if you enable crossplay, which I recommend
and if current gen xbox
no im just getting a shitty error telling me to check my internet when its only battlefield not working lol
I want to play breakaway pvp how? I have random maps
You play until it comes up or you look through one of the many stupid farming servers in Portal.
Hello fellow battlefield enjoyers. I have been experiencing some heavy crashing to desktop on PC the past few days. I cant finish one game without crashing. I have done everything short of reinstalling the game. Anyone having the same issue?
Its on team deathmatch right?
I usually play Conquest. I haven't tried TDM.
Yes and Breakthrough.
How to invite friends
skill issue
yea
bruh i just got melee killed mid air
what
wow what a dogshit map for breakthrough
anyone having issues with EAC?
Fortnight and Battlebit are dying for me...
and a mate in a completely diffrent contry
Well I guess I finally found out
Eš ±ļøic games's status page
afterburner meter makes dogfighting totally unenjoyable.
Not really
they last for 6 seconds before the jets cant move out of their own way
very lazy solution for increasing skill ceiling
Any good pilot knows how to manage their afterburner in a dogfight
any real jet wont stall when you turn a bit without it
I mean ok but itās really not that big of a deal
If youāre using it all in one burst youāre doing it wrong
that change killed what little dogfighting community there was in this game. now you have to go to 4 to get anything actually competitive out of bf dfs
bf4 should not have a larger competitive community than the 2 year old 2042 franchise
Not even BFV or BF1?
those are pretty dead as well
no speed control = lower skill ceiling
bf3/4 are still pretty active
So by that logic
Wouldnāt 2042 have a higher skill ceiling because you can control your speed?
thats just it
you can only do it for max 8 seconds
so any legitimate dogfight is just stalling
The only time I can think of redlining my afterburner is if Iām trying to get across the map quickly
I just frequently switch it on and off during dogfights
And honestly the amount of good jet players in this game is minuscule so dogfighting doesnāt really exist
Maybe if you run into Naizark or idf-rf
Now Iām saying this as someone who pretty much just mains jets all game so Iām perhaps a bit biased
me and him are equivalent in terms of 2042 dogfighting
he also thinks df is dead
only thing left is conquest farming
its just the stalling that gets annoying
Personally Iām just happy jets are in a state where theyāre not complete garbage to use anymore
The rocket pods help
the weapon balancing is good
everything about the jets outside the meter is good
they fixed the delay issues with the elevators and made them be able to actually take on wildcats, and nerfed the tor so you dont get crossed map constantly
the competitive aspect is what at least a few of us are here for, and its disappointing that its dead because of this change. id rather have the perm burner over the stall fest that is the afterburn meter.
as much as i appreciate its a solution to increase skill ceiling, i dont think it was the right direction
I donāt entirely think afterburn should have no cooldown because then you get targets that you canāt hit
But I do agree it runs out pretty fast
Iād say buff it to run out in like double the time it runs out now
well the original solution that bf3/4 solved was of course the "speed zones"
but that would require a dramatic physics overhaul in an already 2 year old game
in public matches its mostly ok
but it killed competitive for jet 1v1
the only 2 solutions i can see to this problem would be A) eliminate the afterburn meter or B) give the jet a more power without afterburner so it doesnt nearly stall out at full pitch. im certain these changes will never happen but it would be nice for the competitive community @runic urchin
guys i need help
can anyone help me rq
i downloaded battle field 2042 and its stuck on black screen
I honestly do not think a flying vehicle with explosives on it needs a āhigh skill ceilingā, those things should always be strong but equally vulnerable as well
Thatās also just not what this franchise is about, generally speaking
wheres the fun in learning when nobody can improve over time and be happy with the time they put in?
high skill ceilings are motivating for a lot. a challenge
discounting jet dogfighting is like discounting infantry fighting
I mean Iām not in favor of āskill gap movementā either, I favor more actual mechanics to learn and use over techs, if thatās what you mean
yeah, exactly
learning switching and mechanics of jet movement in this game got me hooked into the franchise so deep i own 4 bf4 servers for it
Honestly planes are innately difficult to find a balance between either being broken or too weak, I think they should have good weapon balancing but i generally disagree with a lot of the notions āskill gapā brings up, thatās what honestly has caused bf3/4 planes to be pretty damn hard to take out if you get a decent player on them
Iām also of the belief that since battlefield is an arcade shooter the general ceiling should allow everyone to get in and find a place
the weapons balancing i dont mind so much, as long as i can stand a chance against a far reaching wildcat thats all you really need
as it is in every game
We need stationary AA like in bf3 and 4 honestly
i dont want the jet to be insanely op, i just want it to feel enjoyable to fight other jet players in
the stalling is driving me mad, and no matter how you manage it you always end up stalling doing pretty basic maneuvers
me and @runic urchin would sometimes have fights lasting 10+ minutes long pre season 6. lots of fun
now you cant do that without dipping below 200 perpetually
I see, i was more so generally commenting since I havenāt really played since season 4, but thatās disappointing to hear
you have 6 seconds of afterburner, then you are in a stall fest while you wait for it to charge back up for another 6 seconds
that solution only works if you solve the sub 200 (whatever speed unit is used) cornering issue
everybody i know that very regularly trained jets in this game stopped after season 6 because the stalling was out of control and made it too hard to have a proper fight
you can hear the genuine confusion in Dozer's voice like "what the fuck why did they just shoot a rocket at me"
im just so tired of getting into situations where the jet literally cant move itself out of its own way
Honestly the impact of the Wildcat is reduced now given that jet rocket pods have more range and are capable of killing it in one pass
Theyāre still annoying but not nearly as much as before
You can now actually play jets on Renewal
. . . Just curious, is there a way to see a leaderboard for kills with nightbird?
who wouldve thought
youre saying you didnt love getting cross mapped by a tor?
For the longest time I would complain that the AA missiles on the wildcats had too much range
no the bf4 active radar ones actually have too much range (unlimited)
i can live with these
You couldnāt get anywhere near the wall without them seeing you and locking on
And if you did manage to get on the other side
You have no cover when those missiles get airborne
the 70 dmg per rocket is kinda insanely unbalanced
but whatever
just be more careful
Every map in 2042 has something to interrupt the path of the missile
Except for Renewal
Is there a lore reason why the missile knows where it is?
the missile knows where it isnt
2042 looks like a cool game man
the new map is very not sniper friendly
what about the giant fucking wall
Me when the CQB map meant for CQB isnāt long range friendly
Tryharders on this game are the worst
I get fucking erased from the surface of the map by no life level 890
Dude is probably taking his shi** in a bucket while killing me
This game is crazy lads
honestly i think most of the good players don't even tryhard on this game
its not like cs/valorant/apex where you have to be super sweaty to do well
if you're good you just automatically farm everyone without trying
Iām amazed when I run into people who are rank S999
They do exist
And itās stupid
I'm split between clapping or telling them to fuck off

I mean some may not be tryharders but some others are...
I only find myself tryharding if the enemy team has sweaty 4 man clans
Iām always trying my best
EOMM or whatever they want to call it has made multiplayer FPS games suck. 2042 is just the latest mechanism for scooping up dollars. There is no single accurate, skill-based, 32+ multiplayer FPS game today.
The military do a little trolling
Stepped on a piece of a destroyed F-35, instant death. Can't crawl backwards into a bush. Died to invisible player. No PANTSIR so spawn abuse on many maps, but especially the new version of Hourglass. 2-button-press xbox users tracking and aiming perfectly because it was given to them and seems to work at every range despite what some suggest. Game freezes and spikes in combat more than at any other time. Game thinks it's finished loading the map too early so you pop in with unloaded assets and it chugs along. Random autominmization. VHX-R3WTFPLZNERFHOLYSHTROFLMAO.
SVK still better
pretty sure you can make the DM7 into a 2 shot kill at some ranges too anyway
If you're experiencing freezes and spikes you've got either a system or network problem
Nope. Every other game runs perfectly smooth. Others report the same issues
Been a long time problem with this game. It's improved but it's still there
maybe i'll just play BF3 arena mode. Aka the finals.
Good idea
Donāt suppose you are on last gen are you? That might explain some of those issues but I donāt recall what you said you play on
I'm on PC, but still it's a pretty common report.
Even people with top of the line machines are still having issues with the hiccups/stuttering/massive long framerate drops/short freezes
It can be induced by joining a round late
For the love of god can we stop putting Cross-Play on by default, makes it impossible to find lobbies when its off because no one knows its even an option. Sure I could play on PS4 version but that version is terrible.
Dm7 being a marksman rifle my fucking ass. The reticle is basically a glorified suggestion of where the bullets will might land
compensate with better aiming 
Me trying to guess where the fuck the bullets will go
Lmao i didnāt notice that gif had a caption
The dm7 does look drippy though and iām a firm believer in fashion over function
Wolverine got leaked bro
I recently went back to it myself for fun with this exact mindset lmao. "6KU suppressor, 8x scope, LWG foregrip. Dry Fire skin; +96 cool points. Makes you game harder. Makes every kill feel that much better"
You know a setup good when you say "tango down" after wrecking someone
Aye every kill certainly does feel nicer
I ran the close combat 21 rounds too. that brown magazine limited my skin choices haha
Aye i run close quarters on her too, god knows thatās all itās good for lol
Hmm I think it's pretty good in full range/damage setup too. It'll never be an SVK but really, nothing ever will.
Aye the svk is one hell of a gun
Personally i like the svd just because i have a damn near fetish for that gun
oh yeah I was running that too today, finally got the 5x scope on it but i need more... more scopes!
Looking forward to unlocking the g28, reckon thatāll be fun gun
It used to have a pso and some other scopes but it seems they got rid of em in favour for the 2042 sights
Shame cause it looked damn fine with it
probably to differentiate between portal and 2042
SVD is still one of the best looking guns in the game by far yeah
however... SVK with 6KU suppressor, LWG foregrip and any big scope is too
give it a nice dark skin like black "fleck" and you'll get hired by a special forces group for a special mission instantly
speaking of good looking guns. AC-42 with the big boxy silencer, the angled foregrip and one of those futuristic looking sights. and a dark skin like the carbon fibre one
setup looks like it should be shooting laserbeams and Evanesence lyrics whenever you reload it
"cover me! i'm waking up inside.. can't wake up!"
hey just wondering whats possible to unlock and not unlock/gain by doing solo/co-op versions of gamemodes
I think everything can be unlocked fighting bots from what I heard. not like you can avoid bots in regular online play anyway... yuck
yeah but I think regular online vs the specific solo/co-op mode unlocks might be different, I read from things that were from a year ago but I wasnt 100% sure if anything has changed since then
i shoulda added that to my complaint list. the fact that sometimes the bots really just aimbot, or notice you from ridiculous angles as they run in a random direction. real players, even with hella widescreen FOVs barely notice me sneaking around on the edges of their screens but bots always wanna chat with bullets going my way, revealing me.
about that, a long time ago it was harder and xp was limited, but from what i understand now, all portal servers get 100% exp and can be used to farm unlocks.
