battlefield-2042

[upbeat sand]

what the fuck

[tepid briar]

Yeah that’s probably me too. Idk I thought bf3 had better looking maps

[rotund kite]

community was great back in 2014, met so many people I won't see ever again

[upbeat sand]

Honestly the only convos I see in BF1 and bf4 is literally just crapping on BFV and 2042

They never talk about anything else

And then go 140-0 a vehicle LAV or bomber plane

[tepid briar]

Any chance of enabling crossplay for bf4?

[upbeat sand]

Game too old

No Crossplay

[rotund kite]

and I can't even play the game nowadays haha
there's only the sweat lvl 140 killing you after you leave the spawn

I complely lost sense how to play that game

[tepid briar]

I mean for dice to add it, probably not gunna happen.

[upbeat sand]

Chat in 2042 is "hacking is bla"

[upbeat sand]

Yeah bf4 isn't fun anymore

Especially with the fake player counts

[rotund kite]

you said, no crosplay, but still a lot of player in south america, probably rn locker has a full server with a queue

[upbeat sand]

And level 140 vehicle elitists

[tepid briar]

I get my ass handed to me in bf4

[upbeat sand]

Yeah you can say "learner from your mistakes" but what mistakes

Taking cover in a building from an LAV for 30 mins until the game is over

Thanks

[rotund kite]

I was a LAV dweller haha
couldn't even leave spawn last time I played

[upbeat sand]

I got into a tank 1 time

2 lavs where spawncamping and I couldn't hit them because of the speed

I'm glad bfv and 2042 has slower vehicles and also limited turret rotation

[rotund kite]

I just checked at the stats channel
I have 809 kills in the LAV wth, I thought I had more

I played locker away too much damn

[rotund kite]

do you still try playing bf4 tho?

[upbeat sand]

No

Sometimes I try

Then leave after a few mins after I get gunned down by the same littlebird 9 times and realise the player counts are fake and there's 4 people here

[rotund kite]

this is the game state nowadays lol
still better than bf5 with the cheater infestation

[upbeat sand]

I cant play bfv these days ever since 2042 released cause in my region there is only 1 hardcore server left after the count moved to other games

[rotund kite]

I stopped playing after I turned 17 and got a 10hr/day job
xbox360 players in general were leaving too since it was 2018 already and xbox one or ps4 were very cheap

[rotund kite]

in south america there's still some normal conquest servers not hard to fill
who likes hardcore anyways

you don't even know what killed you and from where lol

hell let loose experience

[chilly dove]

33-5 SVK breakaway 128 cq yum. Deep fried enemy team. That crunch. 30 second death timers waited because being downed is relaxing

[rotund kite]

dmr enjoyer

[wary portal]

hey is toonami worth watching nowadays?

[arctic grove]

how to fix the persistence data bug on PC? this is actually unsat for a AAA game what the fuck

[wary portal]

wait your in a country or an island?

[wary portal]

usa?

[arctic grove]

singapore?

[midnight crater]

God the revolver is so fun to use

idc if its ass, 1 taps are super satisfying with it

[wary portal]

shit i wasn't good enough with the revolver.

i'll say it again is toonami worth watching?

[wide shore]

1 tap headshot at a certain range

[merry heart]

What the hell? I flew the wingsuit, landed on the large drill island on that winter map, on the steel construction just below the high platform... I get kicked?

[remote kiln]

dont use wings next time

youre not a bird

[normal iris]

Discriminating against furries

[humble drift]

A furry skin? Of what animal?

A bird?

🤔

[robust vapor]

You not a d0k

[merry heart]

[merry heart]

Tell that to Sundance!

[frozen loom]

She's not really a bird. More like a flying squirrel.

https://tenor.com/view/squirrel-blanket-pokemon-leap-jump-jumping-gif-19203529

Or a sugar glider.

[spare depot]

yeah shes a squirrel

an annoying one

[frozen loom]

[merry heart]

[lunar finch]

[silk surge]

Getting mixed results on each website I check this on... But will I be able to play Battlefield 2042 on ultra settings with Ryzen 5 5600x/GeForce 3060?

[next onyx]

No.

On a 1440p monitor that's like medium settings.

[main stirrup]

Daily reminder that you can throw their grenades back at them

[robust vapor]

[real ether]

is there a way to solo a tank

I got the RPG and anti tank grenades and just now AP bullets

[warm stirrup]

Tanks aren't meant to be taken down alone silly

Unless you're lis

[real ether]

whats that

also even with the javelin?

[ionic stratus]

Is battlefield 2042 worth buying now

?

[chilly jacinth]

Only you can determine that

[gritty lynx]

why do i need to update windows? when i have the newest version already

[rotund kite]

Daily reminder that Dozer shield can kill you 5 meters away and there's nothing you can do about it

[frozen loom]

You can run away.

[fickle wharf]

5m nope

[tacit sphinx]

bro lagged once and is still malding about it

[winged furnace]

hey

[rotund kite]

Let's start a petition for Dozer's shield be throwable like Captain America's

[torpid wadi]

Howdy

[winged furnace]

Is cross play supported between PS4 and Xbox one S?

[rotund kite]

yes

[winged furnace]

Why can I not play w/ him

[torpid wadi]

Did ya add him to your party?

[winged furnace]

Can't friend him

Says error

[torpid wadi]

Whack

[winged furnace]

He is new.. Maybe it's a setting he hasn't turned on?

[rotund kite]

maybe he has crossplay off idk

[chilly jacinth]

Need to add im through the EA site or app

[torpid wadi]

That sounds like a pain

[winged furnace]

mhm

[chilly jacinth]

It is

Cause the ingame way is broken

[winged furnace]

will update U soon

[rotund kite]

I added a dude the other day he was on xbox and me on pc throw the in game thing

I thought that console to console would work as well, weird

[chilly jacinth]

Usually the ingame way doesn't work

For some reason

[rotund kite]

it's better to list what works as intentdend in game haha

[remote kiln]

yes, last gen can together

unless you mean the series s and that's a typo, if so then no

[chilly jacinth]

One S is last gen

[mighty holly]

so one X is new gen

Or S x

[naive quiver]

I had no idea anything about console

Apart I know there was a PlayStation 5

[mighty holly]

I mean Xbox is confusing with its naming shit

[naive quiver]

The console is Anti human design for me

[mighty holly]

Xbox would’ve been called Xbox 4

[naive quiver]

I can’t aim with a controller

[glacial quarry]

@robust vapor @untold flower

[quick temple]

Are there still a lot of hakers in game?

[glacial quarry]

no

they all moved to The Finals

noticeably less hackers in asia now

[naive quiver]

So finals has a lot of hackers

[chilly jacinth]

it was bound to happen

its free and has a shit anticheat

[naive quiver]

When a game gets attention, the cheaters will ruin it

The facts will never change

[remote kiln]

it does, but it's not all Asia as people think

embark are doing a decent(ish) job with the current situation, it's only pronounced because people are off on vacation

[untold flower]

packing luggage

[glacial quarry]

thing is in finals people arent simply just using aimhacks or wallhacks

they're straight up shooting through 50 meters of buildings, infinite ammo, burst fire sniper rifles

had a match where some guy fired the scar non stop the whole round

literally had his left click taped down and deleting everyone he happens across instantly

[drowsy shuttle]

We can't really turn off the Christmas music in the menu? Really?

Cause I just put music at 0 in the settings and didn't turned it off

What kind of bullshit is that?

Unbelievable

[chilly jacinth]

cry

[naive quiver]

It’s Christmas , so they will remove it after new year

[drowsy shuttle]

Oh look is the praetorian guard

[drowsy shuttle]

I don't give a shit if it's Christmas or not.. give us the option to turn it off if we don't want

Just another idiotic decision by Dice

[tacit sphinx]

bro literally who give a shit

it’s a menu join a match

[drowsy shuttle]

There's a reason we can turn it off music.. they should keep the same option for the Christmas songs..

[tacit sphinx]

womp womp

they actually went ooh you know what will really piss that one guy on discord off? christmas music

[chilly jacinth]

sounds like you had a bad xmas

my condolences

[drowsy shuttle]

The praetorian guard is strong today I see

[tacit sphinx]

no it’s just yet another dumb complaint that affects literally nothing lmao

mute your game while you’re in the menu if it bothers you that much

[drowsy shuttle]

I don't celebrate Christmas mate. I have nothing against it though.. so the I have a bad Christmas doesn't apply

[chilly jacinth]

it applies

no xmas is a bad xmas

[drowsy shuttle]

Cool idea just mute the game every time you are in the menu... instead of going to settings and turn it off and don't need to get bother again.. this obviously is not s game breaking.. just a simple option they could ve added.. just like we can mute the regular music.. but ofc the praetorian guard can't see past this..

[fickle wharf]

[chilly jacinth]

minor inconvenience

turbo malding

[drowsy shuttle]

Right

I just broke a keyboard in rage

[tacit sphinx]

i have no reason to doubt this

[drowsy shuttle]

Well that just make you dumb then

And I have no reason to doubt that

[tacit sphinx]

i am so saddened by this information

[drowsy shuttle]

Hum I think you are sad for other reasons, but it's okay

[coral orchid]

How come

[tacit sphinx]

he doesnt like christmas music

[spare quest]

https://tenor.com/view/chouette-santa-hat-gif-14143275

[frozen loom]

I can't find any plushies on Redacted solo.

[spare quest]

Are you using this?

Use portal code instead of solo

[frozen loom]

Yes.

Oh. I haven't tried the portal code.

[spare quest]

I dont think it works on solo

everyone uses portal codes for plushies

[mental delta]

Kinda discriminating for people who don't celebrate Christmas because it's not a celebration in their religion

[winged furnace]

no. it just says error when friend requesting him from ingame.

we randomly got in a game together but still can't add him

[carmine minnow]

christmas isnt even considered a religious holiday by most people now

capitalist holiday fr

[carmine minnow]

are you the type of person that gets mad because literally every store puts christmas songs

[mental delta]

Yup but people from certain religions are still reticent to celebrate it which I understand

[carmine minnow]

im in a Muslim country btw
malls and stores spam Christmas decor and music and no one complains

[drowsy shuttle]

What? No I don't care.. also I wanted to mute the music not the Christmas songs lol .. although the Christmas songs are more annoying

[carmine minnow]

"no I don't care" gets mad anyways

[drowsy shuttle]

Dear lord... facepalm

[carmine minnow]

"dear lord" 😭

[coral orchid]

Ahhhhh

[still vault]

mmmm. just got a multikill by flying into people with the pondhawk

*plonkhawk

[blazing viper]

Yo let's go

[tacit sphinx]

i need to get an aerial roadkill again

[spring pagoda]

I havent played this game since jan 2022, how much better is it now

[blazing viper]

Coming on later

[tacit sphinx]

i got one on the ps4 version but upgraded to ps5

[blazing viper]

Is it hard to join a team on bf

[mental delta]

And I'm in European country and people complain about Christmas decorations and lack of "laicity"

You're Turkish ?

[carmine minnow]

no

[mental delta]

Irakian ?

Iranian ?

Kuwaiti ?

[carmine minnow]

no

[mental delta]

Syrian ?

[carmine minnow]

no

[mental delta]

Saudian ?

[carmine minnow]

no

[mental delta]

Ok idk then

[untold flower]

no

[still vault]

9 better

[naive quiver]

It's better when it's better it's bad when it's bad

[mighty holly]

It’s eh when it’s eh

we need the middle lad

[still vault]

It's improved by exactly 742.3%. I measured with a fun-o-meter.

[modest ivy]

So close

[obtuse quiver]

Battlefied 2042: Friends[0] Party 2/4
EA: Shows friend playing 2042.
Any fix or does my friend just need to join/invite me any time we want to play, and be a ghost to me? 😅

[vast vault]

I think it's much better then it was at times, it's a battlefield game, if that's your jam then get back into it 👍

[modest ivy]

ayyy

[lyric quarry]

.

[main stirrup]

My season mastery broke and stopped awarding me points after like T3

[mighty holly]

Now get 200

[vale barn]

im at 60

[tacit sphinx]

oh yeah

[stone cradle]

best sidearm

[modest ivy]

NO

😛

[still vault]

It likes to break. It usually eventually catches up. Sometimes joining a random Portal match helps for some reason.

[tawny carbon]

Tbh, I reach 100 BP level and barely play it after unless there is a big update or some new content for the game.

[tepid briar]

I don’t like that damn wall in renewal. They should just get rid of it. Everyone just fights around those two objectives on either side

[chilly jacinth]

thats by design

[tawny carbon]

That wall makes what renewal actually is.

It splits the 2 terrains

It will look really weird of no wall was there.

I just wish we can break some parts of the wall in general.

[tepid briar]

I don’t care what it actually is lol. I just don’t think the other objectives get touched near as much.

[tepid briar]

That would be cool actually.

[tawny carbon]

It’s a lot better now than it was before.

[tawny carbon]

True, but last gen consoles restrict a lot of things.

The explosions and wall broken pieces falling down and textures would do to much for last gen.

That’s the only reason why I think the devs didn’t add it in. Or chooses not to for optimization reasons.

[tepid briar]

Fucking last gen! Bad idea to build for them

Last gen was a mistake for this game…

I’m curious to know how many people actually play on last gen consoles

[tawny carbon]

Idk 🤷‍♂️

When the game came out. It was good for last gen. Not anymore tbh.

[remote kiln]

the main issue with last gen is youre playing a entirely different version of the game

but money talks, i suppose

[naive quiver]

I couldn’t agreed more deco

[still vault]

How long does it take a Carbonic to do 3000 grenade dmg

[remote kiln]

how long does it take for carbonate to digest

[tepid briar]

Is this like when bf3 and 4 were ported to 360 and PS3? Is is this not a port?

[remote kiln]

youre correct

2042 is the same situation, the new gen and last gen versions arent the same

[winged furnace]

[tepid briar]

So it is hurting some of their design decisions for them game? “I want to put this in there” “no it won’t work on last gen”

[remote kiln]

most of those are for already done stuff, mainly map redesigns

since the versions arent identical theres a cost/benefit analysis that has to happen, even when DICE dont maintain the old gen port

[tepid briar]

Damn that sucks

[tawny carbon]

I protest for the new gen exclusivity. Like more destructions

[remote kiln]

it wasnt DICE's decision to make, at the time anyways

[tawny carbon]

EA?

[remote kiln]

sony and microsoft mandated that titles release for both versions, or they werent allowed

[tawny carbon]

O… I see

[main stirrup]

I think they would do quite well to take the specialist idea, tone it down a bit, make the gadgets bound to generic subclasses

[still vault]

carbonate doesn't digest anything - it can be digested if you eat it I suppose

[remote kiln]

that's changed now, so the next title definitely wont be on last gen

[main stirrup]

Also do a little more to encourage using weapons that fit your class

Make the benefits more compelling

[remote kiln]

[tawny carbon]

Only thing I’m happy about for BF6. Devs can do a lot more with their game.

[main stirrup]

BF6?

[remote kiln]

the next title

[main stirrup]

Wouldn’t it just be BF<insert random number here>?

[tacit sphinx]

i mean yes

[remote kiln]

we dont know the number, hes just using it for message demo purposes

[main stirrup]

lol I’m just messing around

But yeah I get it

[remote kiln]

may very well be it doesnt have a number at all

[main stirrup]

Battlefield Hardline 2

[tacit sphinx]

6 is the easiest way of getting it across since we don’t know a title or a release year, so it’s basically either ‘bf6’ or ‘the next title’

[tacit sphinx]

based

[remote kiln]

more "Battlefield", if anything

or Battlefield Universe

[tacit sphinx]

i can see it being just battlefield, or potentially a word/year title if it’s like cold war or something

i think naming conventions where there basically isn’t one are funny

[naive quiver]

As long battlefield isn’t a free to play game

[tacit sphinx]

like bf2 was the second game they made

[naive quiver]

I’m ok

[tacit sphinx]

after that it stops making sense outside of like 3 -> 4 and bad company 1 and 2

[tawny carbon]

I wonder if they will do a call of duty. Seasons for continuous story. Till the next game comes out, like they are doing with 2042 rn

[remote kiln]

battlefield free to play isnt a terrible idea, its inevitable really, monetisation of it is the issue

[main stirrup]

Every company that announces one of those “we are never going to make another version of this we are just going to update it” inevitably abandons and updates it anyway

[copper ice]

they'll probably try a back to basics naming after bfv and 2042

[tepid briar]

I like this idea but what are we gunna get 4 specialists?? Since they’re keeping the stupid specialists I like BFVs system where you can choose a character from within that class. All the weapons are the same.

[main stirrup]

“Battlefield X, the next and only Battlefield you will ever need”

[remote kiln]

they hired the activision executive who helped engineer COD out to the cadence it is to with warzone, so its possible

[copper ice]

no way they're keeping specialists

[tacit sphinx]

they haven’t said anything either way about specialists? or anything about the next game in general

[copper ice]

not after boris..... i dont believe it

[tawny carbon]

I think the next title will have specialist. If not idc if they do took it out. It’s a nice feature to the game itself.

[main stirrup]

Its current monetization is pretty bad. Their cosmetics are mostly lame and incredibly overpriced

[remote kiln]

but they sell, and thats all that matters

[tawny carbon]

It’s a good way to push out content as well.

[main stirrup]

Do they sell as well as they could if they were better or more reasonably priced? I honestly doubt it

[tepid briar]

They’ve already said they would be doubling down on the specialists at least for the 2042 reworks

[copper ice]

the subclasses in bfv were absolutely an abandoned concept, it was really sad

[main stirrup]

Most casual gamers aren’t gonna drop $20 on two specialist skins and two weapon skins that they will never use together

[copper ice]

2042 yeah, they're all programmed into the game

[tawny carbon]

They do that for cod anyways

[remote kiln]

the price doesnt matter too much when they sell at their current rate, the game getting continued support with season 7 and likely 8 means there is definitely a flow of players who are spending on the cosmetics

we see it in here aswell

[main stirrup]

I think specialists just need generic skins and they shouldn’t feel like “heroes” in and of themselves. It makes no sense that in a team of 64 players you would have only clones of 14 people

[tawny carbon]

I think the support for 2042 will continue till they are close to dropping the next battlefield title. That’s my prediction

[remote kiln]

specialists are finished they arent returning, its all but outright confirmed

[copper ice]

people spent every day in bf discord shitting on bfv and bought every single special soldier skin

[main stirrup]

One of Battlefield’s best qualities was immersion and I would say that the specialists broke the immersion to a pretty large extent

[tepid briar]

Would you guys be upset if they went back to the “subclasses” in BFV and you can pick your character there?

[tacit sphinx]

failing to see how them not completely scrapping the specialists (because you basically can’t remove them) but effectively bringing them as close to a traditional class system as you can means that they’re definitely bringing them back in the next title

[remote kiln]

theyre not

this title will be the first and last with it

[tacit sphinx]

yeah

[main stirrup]

That’s not necessarily true. Higher sales volume at lower prices can be more profitable and I don’t know if they’ve really even tried that

[remote kiln]

lehto has already said its not happening, thats the only confirmation we need

[tawny carbon]

I like the specialist system. Just needed to be better in general.

[tacit sphinx]

oh i wasn’t aware there was explicit communication about it

[tawny carbon]

That’s good, to bring back more legacy vibes

[tacit sphinx]

id read into a few actions/comments and come to that conclusion anyway

[remote kiln]

ASP's are what matter, not how many of the item actually sell

[main stirrup]

It needs to be scrapped in favor of more unique subclasses is all

[tawny carbon]

They always will have 4 main classes.

[copper ice]

I love the concept of the subclasses but they need to actually flesh it out and not abandon it, nd also not replace loadout options

[tawny carbon]

I just want the BF4 system back with perk talents that you earn as you play the match

[tacit sphinx]

no

[tawny carbon]

That’s a legacy feature I want back in general

[whole escarp]

Can someone recommend me good guns to use in Battlefield 2042?

[tawny carbon]

BF3 had one as well for the entire squad.

[tepid briar]

I do too but they always want to monetize something

[tacit sphinx]

i wouldn’t mind perks but i’d prefer picking them

[tawny carbon]

It was good asf. It’s just small passive buffs that help you out on the long run.

[copper ice]

bring in the burn cards from titanfall

[main stirrup]

ASP? Do you mean like just to prove to the board that you’re “selling your items for high prices” or are you saying that they would rather make less money overall if they can make more money on each sale?

[tacit sphinx]

like idk assault you can have 10% explosive resistance or quicker squad revives or an extra grenade or an extra mag type stuff

[main stirrup]

What type of guns do you like to play

What classes/specialists

[whole escarp]

Assault

[main stirrup]

What mode

[whole escarp]

Just Normal

[tawny carbon]

Just the small buffs helped and benefits your play style a lot

[main stirrup]

Conquest?

[whole escarp]

Breakthrough & Conquest

[main stirrup]

SFAR-M-GL for mixed range and VHX-D3 for close to medium-close range

[whole escarp]

I have these guns they are good

[main stirrup]

M416 if you’re not good with recoil

[copper ice]

rng perks best

[tawny carbon]

Medic with the medic benefits. I was healing and reviving people a lot more than the aggressive buff set.

[tacit sphinx]

and then i’d like the free weapon selection to stay tbh and lean more into the proficiency thing, potentially have each class have a couple proficiencies and overlapping ones might be different

[whole escarp]

That’s the main gun I’m using

[tacit sphinx]

like medic gets one thing for using an AR and assault gets a different one as a thrown out example

[copper ice]

i hate the free weapon selection tbh

[tawny carbon]

M5a3, scar is also good

[main stirrup]

Try the VHX-D3 with the light grip, heavy suppressor, subsonic ammo and a thermal 1.5x sight

[copper ice]

it makes it way harder for weapons to have a niche

[whole escarp]

I’ll try that

[tawny carbon]

Vhx is a good weapon. More lean into close to mid range fights

[main stirrup]

That’s my loadout and I mostly use it on Redacted but it is an amazing loadout in any map that isn’t all sniping

[copper ice]

basically every gun in bfv had a niche but if you added free weapon selection it would have made most of them obsolete

[tacit sphinx]

i don’t think it’s perfect, though i do think you can improve it with proficiencies, equally i think class locked weapons have their own flaws

[copper ice]

2042 suffered from everyone running ARs for ages

same thing with no gadget lock

[tepid briar]

Don’t they need “specialists” for the narrative though? The lore?

[main stirrup]

Remember when the meta was Angel with the AC-42

[fickle wharf]

no

[main stirrup]

What lore

[copper ice]

everyone had rpgs and ARs, it didn't make things more creative it actually made it more samey

[fickle wharf]

go read the CODEX in game

[main stirrup]

The quotes you see at the beginning of matches? 🤣

[fickle wharf]

educate ur self

[tepid briar]

Yeah this lol

[main stirrup]

If they don’t have a campaign I don’t count their lore as real lore

[copper ice]

class lock isnt perfect but it makes it more interesting imo

[tacit sphinx]

its ultimately just how it interacts with the class system, my personal view is that people will tend to prioritise the weapon they’re using

[tawny carbon]

Every battlefield game always have lore like cod does

[main stirrup]

The setting makes no sense

[fickle wharf]

im sick and tired of people saying that there aint any lore in 2042

[tacit sphinx]

stupid ass thing to say lmao

[tawny carbon]

Facts it’s really interesting as well.

[copper ice]

the lore is there but it's not presented particularly well

[main stirrup]

If you do lazy worldbuilding you can’t rely on your lazy worldbuilding to work in written lore

[copper ice]

clown shooters

[stone cradle]

they should bring back sub-classes too to further incentivise it

[tacit sphinx]

i wouldn’t say that’s explicitly saying anything

[remote kiln]

ASP, average sale price of a product, the amount of people buying isnt statistically as important as the amount they are selling for, 1 item selling for $25 will always outnumber 2 paying $12

[fickle wharf]

its as text and zoomers dont like to read long posts of text

[copper ice]

having weapon lock with subclasses makes more sense

[main stirrup]

It’s easy to do lazy worldbuilding but if it makes no sense people won’t pay attention or care and that’s my point

Not that it literally has NO lore

[copper ice]

i like text, i dislike that the text has borderline nothing to do with the actual gameplay

[tepid briar]

What does he actually mean by that?

[stone cradle]

Yeah, more like hinting at it. For all we know he could mean specialists again except they all look like the default class skins from BF3/BF4

[tacit sphinx]

im making a mod that puts subway surfers gameplay over the codex images

[copper ice]

there is a story and it is almost entirely unrelated to the average match

[fickle wharf]

muh gameplay has to be tied to the texts

[remote kiln]

its not, but its pretty explicit to what its inferring especially for 2021, only so much you can pinpoint with such a comment

[main stirrup]

They bothered making a campaign in V even though they had no need to considering V’s setting was a real historical event

That has real lore

[tawny carbon]

The player cards is also part of the lore as well. Just saying

[copper ice]

bfvs war stories were poo

[main stirrup]

2042 is entirely synthetic and they didn’t make a campaign for it

[main stirrup]

I think they were fine

[stone cradle]

so they kill santa in the story?

nopats truly are evil then

[main stirrup]

The American command sounds so shady and manipulative

[naive quiver]

You play battlefield because of campaign ?

[tawny carbon]

Omg, that’s holiday events. The ones meant for the game itself.

[main stirrup]

“You wouldn’t want us to run out of bullets would you?”

[fickle wharf]

i need moore buulets

[main stirrup]

No, when did I say that

[stone cradle]

I mean they intended too probably but they ran out of time. But they inteded to drop lore cinematics like the exodus film with every season iirc

but they scrapped it after everyone absolutely hated specialists

[tacit sphinx]

“entirely synthetic” do you think games come into being naturally or some shot lmao

[main stirrup]

How is it that a multi billion dollar company can’t figure out the bitrate on their pre-rendered menu cinematics

[stone cradle]

Who is Oz and why does he sound like he's a wizard

[tawny carbon]

The development was short. It explains why they didn’t do a campaign. Also the community shit on Dice for it. So they have a team dedicated to the campaign for future titles.

[tacit sphinx]

oz is the place not the guy smh

i love when chat turns into “make a bunch of contradictory and unfounded claims to complain about” time

[stone cradle]

So S7 will give us the 15th specialist!!??

Dorothy

[tawny carbon]

They aren’t making anymore specialists

[remote kiln]

small reminder for folk that the voice actor died who was leading the narrative for the "campaign" in videos, so it had to be cut short

[stone cradle]

special ability is that she deploys an attack dog version of toto

[tawny carbon]

That’s sad 😔

[stone cradle]

Oh yeah I forgot about MKW rip that legend

[stone cradle]

So C, Pt, Qt and gal are the other villains of the lore, I see..

[broken otter]

whats the best gamemode to play rn? feel like i can barely get full lobbies

[crimson basin]

He once asked a question about soldier customization and most preferred anonymous full customization, and so did I. I hope we will get some sort of custom character creator, it doesn't need to be very detailed like those in RPGs but a more basic one like in destiny will suffice. I don't want to see any more pre-made characters.

[main stirrup]

The concept of no-pats is so handwavey

“Why do the same 8 people fight for both sides?”
“Oh they’re mercenaries. Yeah.”

[stone cradle]

Ok but seriously why did Oz betray the no pats and why is he friends with them again

[crimson basin]

They haven't bothered to make any story cinematics since Exodus so there is no reason to care about the story really.

[stone cradle]

Or is he that black market guy nobody trusts but they get all their weapons and stuff from

[stone cradle]

Idk why they even force down the lore with the stupid quotes in the loading screens

Just give tips to players

Like how smoke and fire cancel out the other

[stone cradle]

Wait who is Wollf again

[tawny carbon]

https://youtu.be/AxBSGjErYEI?si=qcwLsJq8bPT3qhfY

This is 2 years ago

I wish someone made a full lore story with all the seasons. From start till now.

[stone cradle]

It feels so strange this is connected to BF4 and 3

[tawny carbon]

It’s years after BF4. It’s with the battlefield timeline

[remote kiln]

no its linked to bf4 and bf3

et al, blackburn in season 6

[stone cradle]

Ok I get most of it now, thanks

[tawny carbon]

I wonder if BF6 will continue 2042 timeline….

I hope it does

[stone cradle]

Set it in 2050, have the nopats dissolve and go back to classic factions

Or they reboot the entire timeline which tbh I'd be fine too

[remote kiln]

unless they finish up the lore with season 7/8 it almost definitely will continue with the next game

you cant bring in a bf3 protagonist for nothing

[crimson basin]

I am voting for a reboot

[stone cradle]

pull an Activision and make the older games Canon.

[tawny carbon]

They will have something at the end of 2042 leading into the next title

[stone cradle]

Next timeline is linked to bad company 1 and 2, so EA makes remasters of the campaigns of those

[tacit sphinx]

i mean… he exists in the world, he’s not doing a ton personally, i don’t think it’s some huge thing

[crimson basin]

Most of the staff that worked on previous games aren't working on battlefield anymore anyways

[tawny carbon]

Bad company reboot would be nice but the BC story is good in general.

[tacit sphinx]

i don’t see them continuing 2042’s direct story

[stone cradle]

Yeah BF3 and 4's plot wasn't that good anyways

[remote kiln]

hes foundational to bf3's entire story even if hes not doing anything in this.. retcon'd universe, the historical significance is there

[primal harness]

Anybody playing on PS4? Please add me on discord.

[stone cradle]

And nobody really remembers the campaigns for those games, only the MP, so we should be fine honestly

[remote kiln]

season 6's entire baseline is more or less around him

[primal harness]

I can’t find a single game through matchmaking.

[tacit sphinx]

it’s absolutely set up for 2143 but i don’t see the story + gameplay leading in a way that can continue closely very well

especially the next title

[crimson basin]

Next bf game will most likely be called either BF6 or just BF. Maybe just BF makes more sense for this new "ecosystem". Not unlike Call of Duty, their app is just called "Call of Duty" now.

[remote kiln]

leaked boxart, 2027

[stone cradle]

That's exactly what Andrew said in the investor call

Some interconnected system for the next games

There'll probably be some "Battlefield HQ" then in the works

[remote kiln]

delete that comment

[tawny carbon]

Why?

[crimson basin]

I was about to mention that exact term lmao

[remote kiln]

because its supposed to be secret

[tawny carbon]

lol 😂

Fine

There, made you happy 😊

[copper ice]

secrets

[stone cradle]

It only makes sense even more when you consider what Ripple is making now

Some other BF title

So Battlefield hq is where you can access the main game and Ripple's other title

Which will probably be some extraction shooter nonsense

[junior galleon]

uhmmmm

lol

[remote kiln]

whats the problem

[crimson basin]

There is an EA investor call on January 30th, we should know for sure by then if we'll get the new game in 2024 or not.

[stone cradle]

Oh yeah probably

And what Respawn is cooking with their 2 star wars games

[crimson basin]

I had this idea of a bigger planetside style conquest mode on a map as large as Halvoy as the secret mode, but yeah that's just wishful thinking.

[tawny carbon]

Q1 2024

We will hear something

[stone cradle]

Or maybe they're making heroes 2

[crimson basin]

Tom Henderson says he knows some stuff but he needs to corroborate before saying anything.

[stone cradle]

[junior galleon]

ngl the more players the less easy it is for one person or one squad to make a difference

[stone cradle]

I want 128 for the next title. But it seems like the new DICE want to bury it away

[remote kiln]

everyone will love this if its the next title

[stone cradle]

Maybe 96 instead? That seems like the sweet spot

[crimson basin]

same, but it'd be nice as a side mode with one BR sized map only.

[tawny carbon]

He prob wants to be on the safe side. Due to NDA.

[naive quiver]

AlienField

[junior galleon]

battlefield heroes remake with 2042 specialists

[stone cradle]

What happened to their legs

[remote kiln]

thats the specialist perk, extendable legs

[crimson basin]

I don't think he signs NDAs

[remote kiln]

heres gameplay

[stone cradle]

No way, you can multitask in the next BF

[tawny carbon]

Did you ask him that?

[stone cradle]

You can play subway surfers on that screen you hold

EA truly are future proofing for gen alpha

[crimson basin]

No, he wouldn't leak stuff if he did sign NDAs.

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔

[remote kiln]

tom henderson definitely doesnt need to sign NDA's lol

[naive quiver]

This is exactly what I talking about next battlefield specialist compatible

[remote kiln]

his sources are insider, not official

[tawny carbon]

I see

Never mind then

[stone cradle]

We need to do what Sega did with persona and make a Battlefield chibi soldiers game

I will consult my friend bing AI on this

[naive quiver]

AI more stronger

[remote kiln]

im surprised there wasnt a total lockdown after he released the drawn art for orbital, theres few people who would ever have access to that

[naive quiver]

at least headshot in 500m

[tawny carbon]

Either they don’t care as much or something. I wonder if they talked to them afterwards.

[remote kiln]

nah at the time, this was before the trailer was leaked out

way too far in advance of anybody publicly knowing anything, but then again given how much of a disaster this game's development was, they probably stopped caring

[stone cradle]

Hire me pls EA, I have the perfect idea to save the franchise

[copper ice]

ps4

[stone cradle]

I mean it won't be that graphically impressive

[remote kiln]

this is why reddit fanart is bad

[stone cradle]

so cross gen, maximum the money

[tawny carbon]

Watch it be a 32 bit game

[remote kiln]

because that game would definitely sell

[naive quiver]

[tawny carbon]

I wonder if they will bring back Battlefield Mobile development back.

I wanna play mobile so bad.

[naive quiver]

Never

[remote kiln]

bf mobile is defo canned for good

[naive quiver]

Forget about it

[stone cradle]

BF mobile was actually kind of decent honestly

But EA wants to move away from too much mobile games now

They shut down Apex mobile too which I heard was a huge hit

[remote kiln]

apex mobile is coming back

[naive quiver]

Depends really

[remote kiln]

it wasnt developed by respawn is why it got shuttered

battlefield is a diff case

[tawny carbon]

Fuck EA for that. It was legendary. I would’ve make my phone stress out by playing it a lot.

[naive quiver]

Asian market maybe yeah

Not Europe

[remote kiln]

"we want to realign our focus" is as much as saying the mobile port for that game isnt coming back

[tawny carbon]

Watch them bring it back, years down the road.

[stone cradle]

They had grand bazaar in BF mobile.

Got it in there but not on portal lol

[naive quiver]

There is no mobile game like Genshin Impact such a successful game in mobile market

[remote kiln]

insert "they need to bring back commander mode" xyz false nostalgia

[tawny carbon]

Genshin is meh. But nice for its cross progression and cross play.

[naive quiver]

tencent trying to copy

[tawny carbon]

I rather play BFM over that any day of my entire life

[remote kiln]

cod has captured any potential battlefield mobile market

if it was released it would 100% be a commercial failure

[tawny carbon]

People were waiting for BFM release. A lot of people loved it during the play test

I don’t understand why they shot it down so quickly

[remote kiln]

playerbase from pc/console who would play on mobile isnt enough

mobile players are more or less a entirely different market for the industry, and the "players who would consider a shooter", were taken by cod

[stone cradle]

Got class designs too

[remote kiln]

it just doesnt make much commercial sense

[tawny carbon]

They can make something on the backend so it won’t work for PC emulation

[remote kiln]

for what gain? it doessnt change the issue

[stone cradle]

I still don't understand what they're trying to do with Warzone mobile

That thing is still in beta

90% of mobile gamers don't have phones powerful enough to run that game

[tawny carbon]

Div mobile won’t work with emulators. People tried from betas.

[remote kiln]

you misunderstand, by playerbase from console/pc, i mean those who would consider playing on their phone

the exposure for the game from the getgo is tiny, maybe if it released 5 years ago it could compete, but the market is taken

[tawny carbon]

Welp. It will be in my dreams ig

[chilly jacinth]

sounds like a nightmare

[tawny carbon]

It’s fine

Nightmares is cool 😎

[stone cradle]

did you ever play it

[tawny carbon]

Yea. On my old phone. I had a S21

[naive quiver]

is fun playing a game on small screen instead of a big monitor ?

[stone cradle]

It actually had pretty impressive destruction too for a mobile game lol

[tawny carbon]

I played it a ton. I made my phone hate me for playing it a lot.

[remote kiln]

the rather "small issue" (massive issue) is the same as the one that killed apex mobile, cheating issues

there is no anti cheat that exists on mobile as on other platforms that is reliant, it itself would be a investment of millions to develop

[tawny carbon]

I never saw or experienced that on BFM.

[remote kiln]

it was never publicly released globally is why, but if it was, it would be the biggest issue from day 1

[tawny carbon]

Cod Mobile barely have cheaters and it been out for a hot minute

I play a lot of ranked on Cod mobile.

[remote kiln]

that's because they have richochet anti cheat

[tawny carbon]

Some people are to ins we on mobile.

[remote kiln]

that's proprietary

[tawny carbon]

They can implement a AC for BFM.

[remote kiln]

they can't, because it doesn't exist, EA anti cheat doesn't exist for mobile, and EAC doesn't either

they could develop one sure

but that's millions that is diverted from other projects

[tawny carbon]

If the game was released. Then they could’ve for sure to keep up.

Welp anyways. I’m done with this topic. I just wished they continued BFM. But imma live without it and forever forget that it happened.

[remote kiln]

remember bfm existed

[tawny carbon]

What do you mean. It’s not out.

If it never been out. Never happened.

[remote kiln]

when you try to convince yourself

[tawny carbon]

BFM was never meant to be right?. It was all a dream. That the BFM community had.

[stone cradle]

The game would've done good honestly but they no way would be able to compete with the monolith that's Tencent

[remote kiln]

https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/battlefield-mobile-alpha?isLocalized=true page still up

[tawny carbon]

Give the idea to Tencent . O wait. It don’t exist

[tawny carbon]

Fake news

[echo yew]

would still be unironically better than MW3

[stone cradle]

They could tencent millions but I don't think they would ever like to make a bf mobile game

and why does the guy in the bf mobile cover look like musk

[echo yew]

I honestly see this "Battlefield ecosystem" as basically the same thing as cod HQ, they're gonna develop a base game and then branch it off into a couple different parts, if there's currently 3 known: Ridge's SP, Dice's AOW and Ripple's thing my guess is that they'll be sold separately

I also see it being a complete reboot

[stone cradle]

I sincerely hope it's not sold sperately

Atleast for the SP and Dice's MP

If they do it and charge $40 for the MP only I'd be fine with it

But knowing them.. $70 just for the MP

[remote kiln]

don't worry they can take it from Sony's book and start making you pay $150 for different parts of a game

[echo yew]

Maybe you could have the full thing as 60 dollars (please god not 70, fucking 60 is too high) but you could buy MP for 40 and SP for 20 and im gonna bet that Ripple's thing is a F2P BR/Extraction mode

Me thinks they're gonna go full MWII

[remote kiln]

wouldn't make much sense

[echo yew]

which i mean... MWII isn't offensively bad or cruel like MWIII

[remote kiln]

mw2 works because it has warzone, but battlefield doesn't have that appeal

easier just to sell both for 60/70

[stone cradle]

why is ripple making their own thing again

[echo yew]

God imagine if MW2 year 2 was a thing

idk ask ea

[stone cradle]

Did they actively want to do something like this?

[remote kiln]

it is a thing

et al mw3

[echo yew]

i mean yeah

too bad it sucks

[remote kiln]

don't think about that

spend money on skins

[echo yew]

Unless you're a twitch streamer or crack infused sweat

[remote kiln]

we know the reason, but it was described years ago, the main reason is DICE has had numerous time and resource constraint issues with building different sections of a game

[echo yew]

i mean yeah MW2 has it's cringe but at least it's not a hypercompetitive mess

[remote kiln]

which is why the campaign has been ass countless times and multiplayer neglected with issues

[echo yew]

But im gonna stick to my theory that

[remote kiln]

by splitting it out they can focus solely on what they do best

[stone cradle]

yeah but ridgeline is making the campaign. DICE the main MP. Ripple will make hazard zone 2.0 then?

[echo yew]

they're gonna make a base game, split into 3 parts (SP, MP and ??) and sell it under a "Battlefield" title in a HQ app which i mean okay but please get actual videogame UI

[stone cradle]

I'd just prefer if they put ripple on the mp too by remastering some BF3 and BF4 maps to pad out content

[echo yew]

god i would love for ripple to take another shot at an extraction mode

ala dmz

dmz was peak

[remote kiln]

something that doesn't exist in EAs IP for shooters is all we know, that could be anything

it was specifically said they were doing a unique independent thing

extraction shooter possibly

[stone cradle]

they had 2 chances for a trend shooter and failed badly

[echo yew]

doubt they'll mess with BR again cause EA's flagship BR is Apex still me thinks

and now that people like warzone again

it's almost a DOA plan making a BR but who knows

[remote kiln]

the wording for EAs IP means it definitely isn't a BR

[echo yew]

idk i just want it to be fun

[remote kiln]

that exists which means it won't be that

[stone cradle]

yay another mode that will be abandoned after S1 of the game

[echo yew]

Im actually really liking 2042 right now which is shocking cause i loathed it just a year ago

So i kinda have faith but im very cautious going into this one

we don't even know when it's happening

[remote kiln]

DICE have only recently began hitting their stride with being confident with the playerbase, since season 5 really, so isn't too surprising

[echo yew]

2024? 2025?

2026?

[stone cradle]

dmz was from activision, they poured tons of content into it and barely anybody played it

Why does EA think theirs will do any better

[remote kiln]

season 7 will stretch out to mid 2024, and in the 90% chance a season 8 is happening then the release isn't till 2025

[echo yew]

2025 is a bit of an issue with GTA6 and that BO2 nostalgia cash grab

[tawny carbon]

I love the extraction royals. But it’s not what people used to, being in a battlefield game.

[remote kiln]

given they're releasing 2 maps there's definitely content ambition, so odds are 85% 2025

[echo yew]

It had a solid playerbase, nothing like WZ but that's because BRs have ridiculous mass appeal, combine that with CoD and... yeah

[remote kiln]

this is activision remember

if you don't generate a billion dollars you're a failure

[echo yew]

It really wasn't hard to find DMZ matches on any of the 5 maps they had for a looong time until just 2 months ago when they killed it off

[echo yew]

yeah

[stone cradle]

the market is getting way too saturated now

I was hyped for arc raiders being a co-op shooter, but now it will be another generic extraction shooter

[remote kiln]

ever since they realised they could generate $50m+ from microtransactions in zombies of all things every potential content is driven by prices

SBMM is just a architect of that goal

[echo yew]

I feel like if they're gonna make an extraction mode (which i hope they do ngl) they need to do something both fresh to the genre and something that makes it uniquielly Battlefield to be properly viable

[tawny carbon]

SBMM ruins games and the community. People just keep feeding into it.

[echo yew]

also F2P, HZ died in hours after launch because not only was it extremely shallow and was behind a paywall

[stone cradle]

I mean because it benefits the casual cod players

[echo yew]

im a casual cod player and it fucks me over

[remote kiln]

"don't worry guys we definitely won't add pay to win items to DMZ even though we did it countless times in MW2"
"oh we added a pay to win item? we never said that first thing"

[echo yew]

then again idk if 1.3 is casual

[remote kiln]

the COD playerbase just is the most non caring in the industry

[stone cradle]

Don't think that's casual

[echo yew]

fuck

[stone cradle]

by casual I mean like 0.5 or something

[echo yew]

i guess i was doomed from the start

JESUS

[tawny carbon]

Do worry. Campers isn’t named campers. We call them sentinels instead.

[echo yew]

god that explains why my matches are insufferable

[stone cradle]

Yeah

[echo yew]

fuck mw3 seriously

it did nothing right

[remote kiln]

mw3 SBMM is geared to always having a 1.0 kd

if you are higher you are punished with higher latency

[echo yew]

"b-but muh movement" okay and? MW19 did that better already and it means fuckall when the TTK is as slow and inconsisent as it is

[tawny carbon]

I love MW3. The SBMM needs to be lowered

Fuck SBMM in general.

[echo yew]

MW3 is also extremely meta based

not using the meta? then die, cope

[remote kiln]

it definitely won't get lowered

[tawny carbon]

Bring back CBMM and the game will get more people and content.

[echo yew]

it's not even SBMM anymore

it's EOMM

[remote kiln]

this activision PR stunt of we'll talk about it when we denied it existed for 7 years is just to try to appease people

[tawny carbon]

It’s both actually

[stone cradle]

I mean every cod had sbmm, it's just that the newer ones made it significantly worse with even more advanced algorithms all to benefit the casual player and make the serious player rage into buying bundles

[remote kiln]

once it becomes so strict that you pre determine matches people notice

[echo yew]

even worse

[tawny carbon]

Ikr

Every game it’s gets worse and worse

[remote kiln]

they literally blacklisted streamers who tried to ask developers about SBMM

they're not even hiding it

[echo yew]

MW3 is the only game that i felt was overly artificial or straight up scripted, so many moments in that game make no sense from any scientific point of view

[stone cradle]

the same devs cried when the actor for kratos called them out at the game awards

and the actor for price called him a clown and a hack

[echo yew]

tbf

eomm and sbmm is an acti thing not really SHG's issue

and SHG is constantly fucked over

[tawny carbon]

This^

[remote kiln]

they don't have a choice

[echo yew]

IW is stubborn as fuck and Treyarch hasn't made a properly good title in a decade

[remote kiln]

SHG are funded by activision, so they're the final decision maker on anything

[stone cradle]

That patent of them making it so you have good games after buying a bundle for a few matches is fake right?

[remote kiln]

no it's real

[tawny carbon]

SHG listens to the community a lot. It’s just Acti patent bs

[echo yew]

sort of

[remote kiln]

whether it's implemented is impossible to prove

but the patent itself is licensed

if you have $1m and want to try it go ahead

[echo yew]

because EOMM is made so the casual playerbase stays playing longer and is prompted to buy bundles

[tawny carbon]

Better connection, latency, everything. It literally defines the game to be P2W.

[echo yew]

I bought like

2 bundles in all of MW2's lifecycle

And i could tell matches were significantly less harsh after buying em

[stone cradle]

I mean if they implemented an algorithm to 'diversify' their game characters as much as possible to hit every checkbox (Vanguard main character cast) then they probably implemented that patent too.

[tawny carbon]

The thing is… if you buy none and be dog water at the game. You can get into bot lobbies, have better connection and no packet burst.

New trash player at the game have a better experience compared to an average fps gamer.

[echo yew]

yeah

I swear

[tawny carbon]

It’s that bad.

[echo yew]

if Battlefield implements that shit it's over

[remote kiln]

well yeah, the server approximation factors in your skill, SHG statement even confirmed it

[echo yew]

then again with it's scale it can't really do that

[remote kiln]

if you're better than average you will be punished

[stone cradle]

I mean if the average player isn't complaining about it, seems like it works for them. So Activision has no reason to care.

[remote kiln]

they have been, for years, they're just vastly outnumbered by millions of bad players who buy countless micro transactions

so it's a zero sum game

[echo yew]

videogame equivalent of marvel films

[tawny carbon]

My brothers friend is completely dog water at the game and it’s flawless. He said it’s great and feels like old cod again. When he play with my friend and I. He said people sweat to much and he experience packet lost and ect.

[remote kiln]

insert x similar topic like aim assist where it's defended in blatantly busted game implementations

[stone cradle]

if EA implements something like this in the next BF then I'll leave. There's no more options left then in that case.

[tawny carbon]

AA in MW2/3 is tuned way too much.

[remote kiln]

don't think about that just buy skins

[echo yew]

thing is

[last willow]

Finally T1d the Nightbird

[echo yew]

MW2's is less harsh because the skill ceilling isn't that high

MW3 is ridiculously sweaty

[remote kiln]

it is high, it's just artificially designed so you don't see it

[tawny carbon]

BF always have EOMM. it’s not heavily tuned and kinda hard to tune in general. If BF have the Activision SBMM situation. I’m done with the franchise.

[remote kiln]

the brackets are that strict that your skill level means you're playing different versions of the same game

mw3 just made that tighter

[stone cradle]

but what about anime maid Falck skin?

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔

[echo yew]

dont think just buy product

[tawny carbon]

You got me

[remote kiln]

BF doesn't have EOMM, there is a team balancer for when you enter a server, but nothing to do with pre-server fixing

[harsh wolf]

is online still active on consoles

[tawny carbon]

Always waste your paycheck till you’re broke.

[harsh wolf]

can get the game for $6 lmao

[tawny carbon]

I thought it did for some reason.

[stone cradle]

I never need to wait more than 20sec on xbox

[remote kiln]

if you are on last gen the online population days are numbered, new gen you'll be fine

[harsh wolf]

damn

how numbered

[tawny carbon]

Welp no MM algorithm. that’s good to know for BF.

[remote kiln]

nah it doesn't have anything deterministic for the actual server

[tawny carbon]

That’s good.

[still vault]

don't really think they have commented on what is actually there

[stone cradle]

I mean if it did then our first games of MP wouldn't be hectic

[remote kiln]

until the next title most likely, last gen can only play with each other and that's it, they can't play with next gen or pc

[tawny carbon]

I don’t think EOMM would hurt it either.

[remote kiln]

https://fxtwitter.com/T0TALfps/status/1673648825838305280?s=19

[tawny carbon]

Conquest lobbies with SBMM. Bruh… that will be a quick match.

[tawny carbon]

good.

[harsh wolf]

mmm

anyone know if ps4 is active with xbox

[still vault]

ah, cool

[remote kiln]

we don't have those numbers on hand, subjectively people say so

[stone cradle]

"guys why is the game so easy, lol dice didn't even playtest their own ga-"
4 matches later
"Why is the enemy team consisting entirely of people called 'Colonel 100'?"

[tawny carbon]

I think a lot of the player base moved to next gen for a lot of games in general.

[stone cradle]

So it's LBMM then. Location-based?

[harsh wolf]

yeah

[tawny carbon]

Old battlefield moment

[remote kiln]

last gen with 2042 will end exactly as bf3 did for the PS3 and 360, fragmented servers on portal where nobody likes anything in particular

[remote kiln]

2042 georegions your server on the start of the game rather than when joining a match, it's based on the host of a party

[stone cradle]

oh

[tawny carbon]

Host proity. That’s true.

[buoyant salmon]

hi guys

[tawny carbon]

Oi

[buoyant salmon]

im downloading the game

is anyone here on xbox series x?

[remote kiln]

use #lfg-crossplay

[buoyant salmon]

i just want to know about the game performance

thats all

[remote kiln]

the game targets 60 frames on next gen

[buoyant salmon]

damn

no 120 fps?

aight then

thx

[remote kiln]

isn't supported

[buoyant salmon]

sad

[remote kiln]

it would be extremely unlikely the consoles would ever achieve 120 stable without significantly compromising the graphical fidelity, trade offs

they already use dynamic scaling resolution, and doubling the framerate makes that doubly worse

[dry lava]

any tips for me to get the feel of battlefield back like i remember played 1 and it felt like a war but currently ive been playing 2042 and i feel like im playing a cod

any gamemodes i should be playing

[still vault]

128p conquest

but that is just me

[copper ice]

2042 is more like cod than a war

that's the game, not you

[remote kiln]

64p conquest if you want the "this is how a game should play", 128p conquest if you want the chaos involved

breakthrough is a farming simulator

[dry lava]

ill try it honestly i forgot like all of the gamesmodes so i kinda just went in random modes

i played breakthrough

and then i played conquest redacted

ill try the 128 conquest and 64

[remote kiln]

CQ redacted is the smallest map which is why you got that impression, it will disappear once you run it on the bigger maps

[dry lava]

never played 2042 saw it was on sale and heard it was in a decent state so i wanted to try it

[stone cradle]

nah that's rush xl

[dry lava]

ah alright ill try them next thank u

[remote kiln]

128p is ass in general I forget half the gamemodes exist to begin with

[dry lava]

so 64p and 128p are the ones worth playing?

i like the chaos

[remote kiln]

yes

[coral orchid]

I enjoy the larger battle chaos more fun for medic more revs

[dry lava]

i went into the breakthrough and felt the maps were very flat (i was using a sniper)

[remote kiln]

they're fun for switch your brain off and don't care, but that wears off after 5 matches

[naive quiver]

I hope there won’t be another 128 in the next battlefield dice should learned by now

[copper ice]

128p certainly strains the server and map design

[remote kiln]

especially with the matches lasting 30 minutes each half the time it's just exceptionally disinteresting

[copper ice]

they wont do 128 again, makes it way too hard to balance vehicles

[remote kiln]

^

[naive quiver]

Terrible idea and their trash severs can’t handle it

[dry lava]

ik this is 2042 discussion but should i also try out battlefield 1 in 2023?

is it even worth it

[copper ice]

helis that are designed to survive 128p dont function the same in 64p or even 32p

[remote kiln]

sure, very few games fit the category of never try out

[copper ice]

bf1 is fun when its not getting hacked

[remote kiln]

bf5 being one of them with being infested with hackers

bf1 is less affected, but it's there

[tawny carbon]

BF1 over BFV any day

[naive quiver]

bf5 is just downgraded from battlefield 1

[dry lava]

i used to play bf1 back on console but i was thinking of playing it in 2023

i didnt know if it was worth playing anymore

[remote kiln]

it's a good game in general.. just try to avoid the hacker situation

[naive quiver]

If you like it then it’s worth it

[remote kiln]

bf1 and 5 have had the most severe issue with it

[naive quiver]

You don’t like then never worth

battlefield 2042 same

[remote kiln]

bf5 is that bad some guy made an entire video about the hacking situation

[tacit sphinx]

tbf someone making a video about something is generally not a great qualifier for whether it is significant

[stone cradle]

but it was mr chill guy himself

jackfrags

[remote kiln]

you don't need the video, Kevin answering a question about EA anti cheat for the older games shows how bad it is

[tacit sphinx]

i mean not speaking for the cheater stuff just in general lol

[arctic grove]

Yes that game is still fun

[remote kiln]

https://youtu.be/NsprTjVz-BU?si=a-wQOGU2063ENEK7

[arctic grove]

If you’re a pc player it’s not going to be as enjoyable without community servers

[tawny carbon]

BFV. Kekw

[stone cradle]

cheaters? never heard of em here on console

[remote kiln]

crossplay says hi

[stone cradle]

BFV and BF1 don't have crossplay

[remote kiln]

oh this is about those, fair enough

[stone cradle]

yeah I noticed some in 2042 recently on crossplay

still abusing the redacted wall glitch

[remote kiln]

just better gaming chairs

[stone cradle]

You're Scottish, aren't you? Just tell them to invest in better walls please

[remote kiln]

[arctic grove]

It’s very high in core mp game modes but I had found that in ground war and 10v10, it was way more dispersed to be noticeable

It’s funny what actual movement balancing plus sbmm did to that game (excluding the cursed stuff like attachment balancing)

[real ether]

is the game dead or are lobbys just like that

[arctic grove]

I really wonder if this is placebo effect

I wouldn’t doubt that it exists though

[arctic grove]

Check if your crossplay is off, and make sure to turn it on

[onyx vault]

Is the soflam targets not having the marker on them a bug?

[dry lava]

is it just me or do snipers feel weird ?

it feels like the cod meta kinda thing is way more dominant

[pine roost]

explain weird

that could mean many things

[still vault]

huh¿

[lunar finch]

Im such a gamer

for realsies

[dry lava]

idk the maps dont feel good for snipers

they seem too flat

[crude wave]

Bro angel fucking sucks

Worst medic in the game

[patent pivot]

isn't he meant for ammo only

[upbeat flare]

hi, I just reinstaled the game... I am on that event map and well, was the movement always that fast? I realy like it

[sterile canyon]

hey anyone having that box thing on the side on your screen?

[cunning quiver]

Yoo any EU players down to make a party for breakthrough?

[patent pivot]

wot

[manic pagoda]

Yeah, you get it yellow when it's buffering issues, and red with serious ones

If you see the circle ones I think it's latency

[sterile canyon]

nvm fixed it

[crude wave]

Yeah but I'm tryna grind his t1 and it's a pain

[patent pivot]

meanwhile, I'm mastering falck with syringe

[spare quest]

[glacial quarry]

im still here

[patent pivot]

wot?

[wary portal]

Hey I got a question what's the problem with woman in fps games? Woke? I starting to think about Hannah from bf4 and paik, Sundance, falck and lis from bf2042 got all the hate.

Some guys think woman didn't fit for fps games. You sure it's completely woke?

[arctic grove]

Hanna was just an annoying character

Paik has a conceptually dumb gadget

Lis has a conceptually dumb gadget

Falck pen is annoying to use on other players

Sundance is annoying to deal with for virtually everyone

I know there’s people who get mad at sundances character for being non binary but that’s kinda dumb when the game makes maybe 2 mentions ever of sundances sexuality

It’s not generally about ‘woke’ tho no

[wary portal]

Putting a woman in combat is like an anime or someshit.

You see black lagoon?

[arctic grove]

As for media in general people just don’t like bad writing of female characters, there’s plenty of famous and well received women protagonists in tv, games, etc

[wary portal]

Mary Sue right?

[arctic grove]

I haven’t seen it but I recognize it

[arctic grove]

Yea sometimes. Or when it’s obviously for a political message when people just wanna watch tv

[wary portal]

What else is bad for American's media these days?

[arctic grove]

I think those cases however are far and few between because kill bill, tomb raider, etc are all examples of well written female protags, even a male protag could be received poorly if the writing is shit

[arctic grove]

It’s not just America honestly, I mean you’ll find these topics across western society

[lunar finch]

what does this have to do with 2042

[arctic grove]

To be fair he did mention like 4 2042 specialists

We can move to general tho if you want burger

[wary portal]

I got smashburger patties.

[arctic grove]

Sounds good actually

[wary portal]

I made patty melts. It's good.

Like last month

[lunar finch]

I just had no context and was confused 😭

[wary portal]

Still want the McKay salvage skin.

[arctic grove]

Lol you’re good dude

[lunar finch]

I want a mackay catboy skin

or falck

[wary portal]

Who still demand some more vault weapons? I want some from bf4.

Bought bf4 premium edition and it's still alive.

[arctic grove]

I gave up on vault weapons they behave weird

[crude wave]

It's actually pretty easy just play breakthrough and revive

Falk is the best medic and she feels like the easiest medic t1 ingame

In my opinion

[wary portal]

I know. I just want something else that's behave normally.

[modest ivy]

@robust vector oi 😄

[robust vector]

@modest ivy gg's

[patent pivot]

not if it's redacted

[crude wave]

Just use smokes lol

Makes everything way easier

[patent pivot]

sometimes it fails lol

they'll eventually blindly fire into the smoke and throw grenade

[crude wave]

Oof yeah only advice I can give is blindfire too or go prone

[main stirrup]

Redacted conquest**

[patent pivot]

does prone still negate damage from explosive ?

[patent pivot]

conquest won't be effective

[crude wave]

Play any map but redacted and reclaimed for an easy Falk t1

[main stirrup]

And heal with the syringe it’s a lot quicker if you do both
