battlefield-2042

[calm bison]

I’m curious

If the PAC is canon in 2042

I imagine we’ll get a map that focuses on the beginning of the second ice age in 2142

[cobalt dove]

PAC man

[tawny carbon]

I wonder, they are just exploring different countries in the world of how the earth and battlefield changed over time while continuing the lore.

I wish they continued making specialist. I’m sad that they stopped making them after blasco. Could’ve gotten more to the lore and more characters.

[crimson pawn]

Will the new map be more destructible in your personal opinion?

[tawny carbon]

Meh. It will be close to the same destruction as other maps for sure.

[arctic grove]

I mean it’s good but it obviously would’ve been better alongside another matchmaking feature….

[spare pasture]

sir 2042 and 2142 are in the same universe

THIGH ROBOTS!!!!

[noble scaffold]

Remember all the people who said season 6 would be the last

Wya

[patent pivot]

difference is in the far future, no sill cosmetics

[patent pivot]

doesn't change the experience drastically

[spare pasture]

or maybe the cosmetics get sillier in the future?

[noble scaffold]

I didn’t say that, just that many where confident season six would be the end, and yet it’s still alive

[spare pasture]

a lotta people thought s5 was the last but i never gave up hope never back down never give up

[noble scaffold]

Everyone’s going to move onto the next season and say it’s the last until we get to the real last one and they say “I told you so”

[patent pivot]

hell no

let's not believe it

[bitter mulch]

this new teaser looks nice, i hope we get more life in maps, that they feel more real

[patent pivot]

LEVOLUTION

[sturdy prism]

A Champs de Mars map would look cool, with trenches and outposts all over Paris, and destruction like the outside of Operation Metro

[patent pivot]

flood zone

[spare pasture]

china

[pine roost]

Didn’t notice there was a map screenshot

Neat

[patent pivot]

china faction when

[spare pasture]

deja vu

lol never

brutal expectations

[patent pivot]

I wanna hear Chinese soldiers speaking again

and yelling

[spare pasture]

you will have ru vs us and you will like it

[pine roost]

Aside from the ambient occlusion I honestly thought that was a real picture

[patent pivot]

bring back iran VS

[spare pasture]

💀 man us will destroy them in one match

[patent pivot]

or Europe vs US

[spare pasture]

Or europe vs pac

[patent pivot]

or how about

NO PAC AT ALL

they're shit

[spare pasture]

bad company

[patent pivot]

ok

[arctic grove]

Shit that wouldn’t even be that bad if we actually had differentiation lol

[still vault]

The engagements featured in 2042 features no-pats fightning, not regular armies. You don't have to like it but it's too engrained in the game to change at this point.

[patent pivot]

oh what's next

a hero style no pat

[still vault]

"unbalanced" types of "classes" were more BF1's thing

[ruby loom]

sure

[still vault]

What you could think of as a "hero weapon" were there with the railgun in BF4

[arctic grove]

Honestly no, at least not BF1 alone. Bfv continued that trend with the medic class being broken thanks to infinite medkits while everyone else had to play around attrition

[pine roost]

I think Carb’s talking about battle pickups

[patent pivot]

some people would be shitting right now if a game has limited supply of medkit and ammo

[arctic grove]

People get so mad at sweet spot when in execution bfv medic is way worst lol

[arctic grove]

Limited ammo would be eh but limited health with no regen just sucks in the game battlefield is

[pine roost]

Bfv medic is really not different to the others, it’s bfv’s other mechanics that made it so vital

The whole attrition thing was one of those ideas where you can see where they are coming from, but didn’t quite hit

[arctic grove]

It’s pretty much the embodiment of a hard counter for the entire attrition system. For the most competitive players there was no reason not to just run that class

[patent pivot]

or you can only be defib once

[arctic grove]

Especially since the ttk was so fast that SMGs were especially strong, so they didn’t even lose that much firepower either

I come from the perspective of mostly playing breakthrough though so that factors in, even tho attrition on bfv conquest map design is exhausting too

[spare pasture]

man id be happy if we would get an option for actual basic soldiers

[ruby loom]

id be happy with a 240Hz Monitor for bf

[spare pasture]

but at least we got playable irish

my g

[arctic grove]

Irish was already cool so I didn’t really mind playing him

[pine roost]

I’d be happy if the next game doesn’t butcher infantry mechanics

Literally so much can change between titles that it could end up as anything you can imagine

[spare pasture]

reimagination!

[still vault]

I was talking about elite classes

[arctic grove]

To me I feel the best thing they can do is not try to drastically change things at all, at least not rn

[spare pasture]

also helps that he understands that hes in a real war

[ruby loom]

[arctic grove]

Preferably ever but

[spare pasture]

i just want a good battlefield like bf1/bf4

[pine roost]

Don’t even get me thinking about a ‘reimagining’ might mean

[ruby loom]

takes forever

[arctic grove]

Those were honestly easy to kill

[spare pasture]

the elite classes in bfv were silly as hell for a ww2 game

[still vault]

Still comparable to "an unbalanced" class which we were talking about.

That they could still easily enough be killed is besides the point.

[spare pasture]

cough cough infinite health

[arctic grove]

If they’re easy to kill, are they unbalanced? It only took a bayonet charge or like 2 dedicated players

They were a cool concept, I didn’t mind them because they were typically capped to being good at 1 thing and beyond that they could easily be outmatched

Like the trench raider which had a mace, extra hp and a revolver, not really that awful

[spare pasture]

the machinge gun knight

[pine roost]

Heavy weapons guy

[arctic grove]

That one had lower peripheral vision and moved slowly

[spare pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/battlefield-gif-21904440

[still vault]

So your argument against them not being traditionally balanced is that they were not unbalanced enough?

[arctic grove]

My point is they weren’t traditionally balanced but that doesn’t make them unbalanced

Same with behemoths. It took more players to kill one but they had their own blind/weak spots and disadvantages

[still vault]

They were unbalanced in a 1v1 situation, which is what I meant they had in common should 2042 have a "hero" soldier of some sort.

Not overall game balance unbalanced.

That was never the discussion.

[arctic grove]

I mean I’ve heard that argument before and no, specialists are not the same thing as elite classes

They just are not conceptually the same thing or balanced to be such

[tacit sphinx]

elites were a very weird addition

[arctic grove]

Specialists exist because dice obviously wanted to follow industry trends and drive mtx sales. Their balancing and design is more trivialized around the same tropes we’ve seen with other fps games

[still vault]

This is what started it , so not specialists being the same as elite classes. What I pointed out was that BF1 already had the "hero" units with elite classes in BF1, kind of.

#battlefield-2042 message

[arctic grove]

But not really, in fact not at all, yeah they were unique character models but they were waaay different

[still vault]

Seems like you still don't get where I'm going with this. Oh well.

[tawny carbon]

BF3/4 had special pickups which would be nice to come back Instead of heros

[pine roost]

I assumed this all started with ‘hero no pat’ being in reference to the way special characters work in battlefront, rather than directly claiming that no pats already are those

[solid imp]

this guy right here

[tacit sphinx]

so did V

and hardline

[still vault]

Substitute the special character in Battlefront with the elites in BF1 and yo uare spot on 🙂

[tawny carbon]

BF4 heavy sniper was dope asf

Also the futuristic one as well

[patent pivot]

bring back weapon pickup

[tacit sphinx]

weapon pickups would be nice to have return

[solid imp]

M82?

[tawny carbon]

Ye

[solid imp]

futuristic one is the rorsch railgun 😄

[pine roost]

Although we did get the grenade launcher and minigun pickup datamined a while ago

[solid imp]

we have it

[tacit sphinx]

seemed like they were planned for 2042, some stuff was in the files but they never made it in - might have been trying to juggle all the options

[pine roost]

I assume they were there in concept but never implemented

[tawny carbon]

True true

[tacit sphinx]

yeah i think this is mostly just like partly finished files with some name data attached

[tawny carbon]

Add another futuristic weapon set for railgun, pistol and shotgun lol. I want a futuristic smg in the game tbh.

[pine roost]

That’s just the pistol with an auto clicker

[tacit sphinx]

im fine with just one railgun ngl

[tawny carbon]

I wanna see more futuristic weapons in general.

[pine roost]

Quad take

[solid imp]

they implemented the railgun to try and walk that line of "kinda be sniper" and "kinda be AR/SMG" with its different charge packs, or batteries, or whatever it is you load in there

[pine roost]

A lot of stuff post launch fits that role switching type deal

[tacit sphinx]

it’s an odd time frame because realistically we’re not going to have viable energy weapons or anything 20 years in the future, even the rorsch is probably a long way around technology wise

[tawny carbon]

I mean. Yea. I use it a lot but a futuristic smg would be nice to have. Only thing we are missing tbh.

[tacit sphinx]

so basically you’re mostly limited to fictional conventional firearms based on like a projection of current tech

[still vault]

Funny thing is that the prototype rorsch in BF4 was in-game better than this updated version

[tawny carbon]

Like faster firing than the AR mode

[tacit sphinx]

if that tbh most of the guns in the game are slightly redressed real firearms

[solid imp]

not surprising.. my old furnace lasted for like 20 years but my new one only has a 10 year life expectancy

[still vault]

"they don't make em like they used to" 😄

[solid imp]

rorsch used to build things to last

whoever bought out nordvik really screwed things up

[tacit sphinx]

yeah a little surprising we’ve only had one new 2042 smg, but then they don’t have that much innovation nowadays so it’s hard to make a projected futuristic one

[tawny carbon]

Since we are getting 2 maps. Can they add more than 2 weapons per season now?

[tacit sphinx]

i mean we’ve had at least 3 for most seasons including sidearms but yeah more guns would be nice

[pine roost]

Can they also address flight assist. Pwetty pwease

[tacit sphinx]

s4 was good with 3 good/interesting primaries and a fun secondary

and vault guns used to pad the roster out throughout the season, there’s still some cool ones in portal/the files that they could bring over

m249 g3a3 m24 sniper

[still vault]

I'm still far away from T1'ing all the weapons that are already in there.

[pine roost]

Im surprised how many hours I have for how little I’ve seriously played

[ruby loom]

how much

[pine roost]

But it’s the first time I’ve been properly actively watching since launch

[pine roost]

300

[ruby loom]

in BF

?

[tacit sphinx]

i would also still really like to see t1 skins for vault guns and im surprised it’s never directly been addressed as it seems a fairly common request and i can only see it being a positive

[pine roost]

2042 specifically of course

[ruby loom]

oh well

[pine roost]

I don’t spend hours and hours committed to one title, I just don’t ever have that much dedication

[tacit sphinx]

no one you realistically want to listen to is going to turn around and go “no i specifically don’t want t1 skins for these guns”

[pine roost]

Don’t see how people can play something for thousands of hours

[ruby loom]

me neither

it just happend

[pine roost]

I’d love to, but I’ve just never been able to simply sit down for hours day after day

[tacit sphinx]

think i’ve got around this time as well

[ruby loom]

well unfortunate

[pine roost]

I think for the most part it’s just cause I spread my time across so many different games rather than commiting to one

The one time that wasn’t the case is when titanfall 2 came to steam

[solid imp]

imo an hour here and there is what makes BF fun and it adds up over time to some crazy number... I'd love to check out star citizen but I just don't have 6 uninterrupted hours to drop all at once

I have something like 1.3k hours of actual map time in 2042 just by playing since launch not sitting down and doing daylong raids

[pine roost]

50% of mine is noname’s testing out updates :/

Might make it a New Year’s resolution to game more 😎

[mental delta]

Persistent servers in BF2042 ??? I'm shocked 😱😱😱

[pine roost]

already a thing

[mental delta]

In Portal yes, now it's in AOW as well

Which is a good improvement imo

Even though I don't see many people giving a single fuck

[still vault]

Imagine if Battlelog was there at launch and had gotten Discord integration and the Portal server creation for AOW and everthing else. Then we could have had platoons that kept servers running, that you could easily join and discuss on the platoon pages where also links to the servers Discord servers and voice channels could be directly in Battlelog.
Add a tournament system and it would have been brilliant for the community.

Now, this late though, I fear persistent servers might be too late. People are creatures of habit. But I hope it turns out good.

[lilac linden]

I think it’ll turn out good. Not great. But good.

[mental delta]

It's a good addition, a really welcomed one, but adding this feature 2 years after the game released won't change anything imo, people who are used to playing this game are gonna like it but it won't be an outstanding change for a game which released 2 years prior to that

[tawny carbon]

If they still worked on battle log in general for the battlefield games. It would be amazing 🥲

It’s sad to see it not being used for current battlefield games.

[tawny carbon]

Would be great for dice and make a battle log app along side it.

[solid imp]

you said platoons and a single tear fell... how I miss platoons

[tawny carbon]

Did you guys noticed that COD HQ took the idea from Dice (probably wasn’t intentional). BF HQ was used for BF4/Hardline/BF1.

Dice had HQ first. It’s crazy to think of that.

[quaint vector]

God damn.. I have my BF2042 playtime mixed to 3 platforms...

• PS4
• PS5

• PC

Xbox when...

[royal swan]

I have a gut feeling that the new map image is lying. That only a small portion of the map is urban and most of it is a open field or hill with almost barely any clutter

[tacit sphinx]

ok bud

[tawny carbon]

How is that gonna work with 128p?

[royal swan]

I also doubt it's made for 128

They did 64 for the past 2 maps

[tawny carbon]

I’m pretty sure they had 128p also for the map.

[royal swan]

Not for reclaimed or redacted they are built for 64

You can do 128

[tawny carbon]

Those are fixed. I’m talking about the other maps.

[royal swan]

You mean the launch maps and the maps before s5

[tawny carbon]

Ye

[royal swan]

Yeah all of them are made for 128 ofc

But they changed pace to 64. Or that's what people have been saying last year when reclaimed released

[tawny carbon]

They changed to it for more strategic purposes

“128p didn’t feel right/good for the maps.” Even tho 128p was all about constant action, same with breakthrough 128p

[royal swan]

You can get constant action even with lesser players. Just gotta make a good fucking map that supports 64

[tawny carbon]

That’s why they make a 128p map and resize everything for 64p and make the map playable area smaller.

Unless the map is like redacted then it’s fixed for 64p.

[arctic grove]

I pretty much only ever play 64p maps, just feels better

[royal swan]

It's the Goldilocks of big team size

[lean finch]

I joined this server read 20 comments and lost 200 brain cells I gotta get outta here before I become as empty up top like the rest of yall. HOLY this community LMAO

[still vault]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-shock-shocking-omg-omg-meme-gif-26225226

[royal swan]

Oh boy don't go to Reddit

[tawny carbon]

I like 128p a lot more. I always have action set for running around across the map and almost seeing nobody. Unless I’m sniping or have to be at a choke point flag during the game.

[royal swan]

Or steam discussions

Avoid that place at all times

[still vault]

Better just avoid people all together

[tawny carbon]

^

[royal swan]

I'ma disagree

Just gotta find the right people

Being alone fucking sucks

[arctic grove]

What is he even upset about? lol

[still vault]

"I'm smart, they dumb" syndrome

[arctic grove]

ahh yes

[tawny carbon]

Kek, I been solo gaming for years. I just got better compared to playing with others. Also less stress.

[royal swan]

I would rather be talking to a legit moron than talk to myself like an insane person

[quaint vector]

How often do you speak to people tho.?

[tawny carbon]

Very low

[royal swan]

Outside of this discord, quite a bit. Still in college so I engage with my classmates

[tawny carbon]

I don’t mind playing with others. It’s just better if I play alone. I get more stuff done and improve myself in games.

I even play R6S solo. I worry less and focus more on the game.

[arctic grove]

Same

[tawny carbon]

Especially games like Warframe,Destiny and Division. I do a lot more things alone set for waiting on someone figuring out what to do. Or having to follow what they want to do and diss what I need to do. Even to catch up to their level/part of the story.

At the end of the day, it’s personal preference. Some people like having others, others don’t mind it or play alone instead.

[blazing terrace]

Did season just get more time added to it?

[tawny carbon]

Ye

February, S7 is in march

[blazing terrace]

Oh thank god I missed a ton of time

[tawny carbon]

You have extra month and maybe couple more weeks. Get your BP to tier 100. You got time.

[arctic grove]

Shit during season 4 I took like the first 3 weeks off of doing barely any challenges so youlll definitely get that one done

[slow vessel]

The amount of dusting that happens when im dogfighting in that attack heli is actually absurd

Super tilting to see rockets hitting and not getting damage. Esp when fighting nightbirds which are already annoying.

[lone void]

I fucking hate that the game immediately tries to use interacts instead of reloading when you tap the button

I obviously do not ant to hold it down

let me fucking reload

[remote kiln]

this is not for the battle pass

the counter ingame is still the same and will expire as normal

[tawny carbon]

I thought they would update the time for it.

[tacit sphinx]

the thing came out today

im also not actually sure what counter this is referring to, the only one i can find at a quick check is the one in the store which is 40 days, going past even the additional 2 weeks

deco is just very confident about something that is not particularly clear

like when he very confidently told everyone who asked that redacted had been removed from the breakthrough map roster because the 24/7 playlist was taken out during a normal weekly refresh

[remote kiln]

?

I said it was on rotation lol

which was true

[tacit sphinx]

this was like week 2 of the season but you were just like "uh yeah theyve taken it out completely" lol

[remote kiln]

that doesn't mean permanent

im just going on the current situation as it exists and assuming otherwise is false, they have said nothing about the extension to the BP, and until they do that's how it is

would I want it to be extended sure, but it's not realistic because nothing has been said

[tacit sphinx]

idk the conversation stuck because i proceeded to literally play it in the regular breakthrough playlist

[glacial quarry]

any specific balance changes announced?

[remote kiln]

none as of now specifically

though, the vehicle changes will probably come in soon

[glacial quarry]

nice

[remote kiln]

they had mentioned the tank changes in the podcast a while ago it would be really weird if it wasn't in before season 7

[glacial quarry]

hopefully they remove the shitty delay in tank turret turning

[remote kiln]

that was mentioned

thermals for drivers too

[glacial quarry]

hate playing tanks with 10 fov

oh boy

gonna have a blast with tanks

[tacit sphinx]

it's just kinda dumb to proclaim that it's absolutely not happening because they havent changed some counter (which i don't know where you even find so isn't exactly shoved in your face)

[glacial quarry]

maybe 200-0 finally

[remote kiln]

I'm not proclaiming it won't hapoen

I'm saying it isn't currently happening

because it's not

you can't judge things based on "I want this to happen", until they say anything, nothing happens

[tacit sphinx]

i mean if you wanna go off timers that may or may not have been updated in game im currently looking at a thing that tells me i can buy the battle pass for 40 days

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[remote kiln]

40 days is till February, season 7 is in march, until it gets changed to the end of February, nothing has changed

[tacit sphinx]

season and battle pass are effectively synonymous with each other anyway but idk how youre saying this and not going wait this doesnt quite add up

[remote kiln]

I literally spoke to you 7 hours ago and said it was weird?

that doesn't mean, "they are doing this"

[tacit sphinx]

man whatever lmao

i realise that you dont really change your mind on things

[remote kiln]

..?

I am agreeing with you

do you want me to not?

[tacit sphinx]

i dont really see what not agreeing with me looks like if not this but ive already pointed out the specific timeline and you just kinda went "the counter is all knowing" and its probably just best to leave it until they say something more specific

[remote kiln]

all knowing, to if the battle pass has been extended in line with this, it hasn't, if that changes or if they say something, it will have, but I'm not sure why the default assumption (is/was) they have, when that's not the case

[tacit sphinx]

that is word soup sorry

[remote kiln]

I'm literally just explaining the current situation, I'm not sure why you think I somehow don't think it's weird they haven't extended it already

both things can be true at once

[tacit sphinx]

i literally do not know what this counter is

ive looked in every bit of menu that it would make sense to have a counter in and there isn't one apart from the bp in the store, which i think has been counting down to what it says for a while if not the entire season

[remote kiln]

yes that's the one I'm referring

[tacit sphinx]

which fwiw i dont think is really indicative of anything it looks like just flubbed numbers when they were setting it up that have just never been fixed since it ends at like 6:57 on a monday or some shit (dont hold me to this but it's not the date/time you'd expect in any case)

[remote kiln]

I mean fair

[tacit sphinx]

wait

no my numbers were off that takes it to like 8am on tuesday the 20th, which is basically exactly when i would expect it to end since the 2 week season 5 redux event starts that day

which is what i said earlier (i'll concede you might not have been in chat) except i interpreted it as 2 weeks extra of season and then a week off, because they didn't put a specific date

[dapper river]

dammit, they fooled me. I thought it was 2 new original maps in season 7, but instead one of them is a remake of a map we already had remade?

[tacit sphinx]

me when uhhh vaguely similar location and nothing else in common

seine crossing is an operation metro remake theyre both in paris with a lot of infantry combat

[dapper river]

the buildings are clearly the same as arica tho

[arctic grove]

Your pfp

[tacit sphinx]

south america moment

[dapper river]

oh, right. i changed it back, I don't think he's thrown a big shitfit lately right?

[tacit sphinx]

i wouldnt know

[arctic grove]

Sheit neither would I

I haven’t heard much about him since he got banned from here and someplace else

[tacit sphinx]

i think "someplace else" was... the game

[arctic grove]

Ah yeah I forgot lol

[tacit sphinx]

[arctic grove]

[radiant prism]

mouse input :)

oh look at that I lost regular again

[spare quest]

[radiant prism]

Thats neat

[spare quest]

Why do you do this

[radiant prism]

I dunno

Anyways

Anyone else having an issue with hypersensitivity on mouse input?

[spare quest]

Your last message was less than a month ago

[radiant prism]

Yea

[spare quest]

yet you lost it? bruh

[radiant prism]

I'd bring it up to the staff again if anything was ever gonna get done about it

or I'd grind for it back if I genuinely cared what people think about 2042 anymore

But talking about this game with other people makes me angry so I'm just gonna enjoy the game on my own

anyways yeah no my mouse input is hyper sensitive even at extremely low DPI and 20 sens

could very well be PC overload on worn out components but I just wanted to see if this was an issue anyone else is experiencing rightr now

On another note the teaser for S7 has me intrigued

[arctic grove]

I tend to avoid interacting with ‘fandoms’ in general, but I’ve been here for so long so I just chill

[radiant prism]

I used to be like that, but 5 years of trying to just talk about the game while people just seem determined to shit on it incessantly has worn me out

From BFV to this

[arctic grove]

Ye fair enough

[dapper river]

"That game is dogwater ong fr fr. Oh they added new content and fixed everything? well they should of done that at launch"
there I saved you just about every conversation with a normie you'll ever have about the game

[radiant prism]

Oh trust me I know. You haven't saved me much when that's all I've seen for 5 years now lmao

[arctic grove]

I mean I generally agree with those points but eh

[tacit sphinx]

i do now find it quite funny when someone pops up somewhere to shit on bfv that every time theyre just a hardcore bf1 fanboy who thinks it is the basis of the franchise

[arctic grove]

It’s not worth like barging in to mention

[radiant prism]

Went through just shy of a quarter of my life dealing with that, enough is enough

funny gun game go brrrr

[arctic grove]

Well TBF it was the franchises most successful title in recent times so I don’t blame people for wanting dice to take notes there

[dapper river]

bro is only 20

[tacit sphinx]

i genuinely don't know why it's the best seller past people going "oh hey ww1 shooter" and some good marketing

[radiant prism]

21, acktually

[radiant prism]

something something immersion

[arctic grove]

I mean the fact that it was ww1 yet sold so well says a lot too in all fairness

Like if someone’s just memeing I get being frustrated but rational critique is necessary

[radiant prism]

good marketing works wonders sometimes

anyways

I go to eat dinner

[tacit sphinx]

realistically it has some very weird design choices and was not handled well during its cycle lol but this gets overlooked in a lot of discussion because uh immersion and seven nation army reveal trailer

[dapper river]

I'm still salty they did WW1 instead of 2143 which they teased starting in BF3

[arctic grove]

It’s a game with its faults but my take is like, its successors are just as ‘bad’ in regards of balance and design

[tacit sphinx]

i have genuine reason to believe 2143 is in the works

[arctic grove]

So it really is subjective at the end of the day

[dapper river]

Didn't they say the next BF would be set in modern times tho?

[arctic grove]

I don’t think anyone’s take is it’s perfect it’s just a lot easier to overlook some of it’s choices

[arctic grove]

Tom Henderson () did but that’s all I really know

[tacit sphinx]

yeah not saying the next game (not sure if they've explicitly said that though either) but there's some interesting threads of the lore in this game that point towards it

[dapper river]

and all people will say is "omggg enough of this future cr*p, when are they gonna do WWI/WWII again? 🙄 "

[fringe spire]

How does Casper drone work ? Can I leave it up in the air like that, without piloting it, and it auto spots people in a radius ? What's the range ?

[arctic grove]

How much do you wanna bet someone will say that even though it’s been like

6 years

[dapper river]

I think it only auto-spots based on where you left the camera pointed when you exited the drone

[tacit sphinx]

the main one is that a pivotal part of 2042's world and story is weather/climate manipulation tech which has the potential to go wrong, and 2142 takes place after an unexplained ice age

but also the pan asia coalition is absolutely forming up, there's a few hints and mentions towards them and they were obviously one of the main factions in 2142

[dapper river]

maybe they're just trying to link the timeline and lore to 2142, but not outright confirm a new game set in that time period. sad!

[tacit sphinx]

i don't necessarily think it'll be like connected to 2142, but i think it's perhaps a bit of a spiritual successor

maybe but it feels a bit weird to like soft retcon the bf4/2142 link and then bring it back in

[dapper river]

2142's "futuristic" aesthetic kinda looks dated already tbh. the only cool bits are the walkers and that hovercar that was in the expansions

[patent pivot]

does the lore include how soldiers are dressed

[tacit sphinx]

and it does feel like they're setting up to at least have it as an option

[tacit sphinx]

idrk what this was supposed to be going for but the nova group cosmetics (the blue fur coat, high tech sub-faction from season 5) were at the time noted to be like 2142 futuristic vibes, and in their codex entry it mentions they have ties to "a secretive alliance in greater asia"

[tawny carbon]

How do you guys/gals think about Music and Announcer audio in games?

[patent pivot]

look at all these silly shit cosmetics we have

you think they're canon or not?

[patent pivot]

important as always

[tawny carbon]

Just wanna ask a bigger audience for opinions.

I use 30/100 music level and announcer at 50/100 level rest of the audio is at 80-100/100 level

[tacit sphinx]

for additional reference: presumably the season 7 logo or a variation of it from some internal merch that a dev posted on twitter, the same logo on posters on a wall in the new map, and the PAC logo from 2142

certainly connections to draw

[tacit sphinx]

i mean cry about it but also a lot of them (especially the ones from BPs) are representative of various factions in the lore

[patent pivot]

fuck this

I'd rather have basic camo swap

than some goblin head mask

[arctic grove]

Gobble gobble

[tacit sphinx]

you have basic camo swaps as well

i must have missed the bit where they put goblins in the game

[tawny carbon]

Bring back BF4 character camo selection. Simple and easy to use.

[patent pivot]

doesn't deter anyone from using inconsistent items

[tacit sphinx]

as i said

[patent pivot]

bring back their VA

[tacit sphinx]

cry about it

[patent pivot]

THEY'RE LIGHTING ME UP

I miss that

[tawny carbon]

Honestly adaptive camos from BF4 were the best, hands down

[arctic grove]

Ye I miss those

[patent pivot]

where's my guy that also shout

IM GONNA LIGHT THESE MOTHERFUCKERS UP

[tawny carbon]

They always change depending on the map terrain. It was the best

[patent pivot]

imagine if there's a function for preset camo for each map

[arctic grove]

It makes sense today where mtx are so prominent

Although today you choose what you want so meh

[patent pivot]

if there's an option of a server to disable inconsistent cosmetics

I won't hesitate

[tacit sphinx]

being able to set up your own cosmetic presets for different map types would be nice

[spare quest]

I always had different cosmetic presets for different soldiers in bfv, it was actually useful

Visibility in bfv do be kinda weird

[tacit sphinx]

i don't think there's ever been a game where you can disable other people's cosmetics client side because a) idfk how you would do that and b) it is not going to be a popular feature because for the couple of people whining about "consistent cosmetics" (how do you suggest setting that up lmao) youve got people who you're taking away value from

battlefield is also a silly game to complain about the cosmetics in as far as it goes because visually and design wise stuff actually looks good

[arctic grove]

I just want to larp

[tacit sphinx]

the wackiest skin is like... crawford in agent 47 cosplay

[arctic grove]

Must larp

[tacit sphinx]

recent cod games launch with like. messi in tactical gear and a dark souls 2 human effigy

[arctic grove]

Honestly tho it’s something I criticize for both franchises

[spare quest]

Soon we will get nicki minaj in battlefield

or whatever her name is

[patent pivot]

don't do that

[arctic grove]

Battlefield does pretty good with avoiding just completely random shit, cod is off the rails

[tacit sphinx]

we have hitman at home

like bro looks dapper i cant even knock it

[patent pivot]

this is something I see out of battlefront 2 mod

frankly, this is battlefield – no MOD ALLOWED

[tacit sphinx]

why did they launch with this

[arctic grove]

They ended up disabling that skin too actually

[tacit sphinx]

yeah

[arctic grove]

Gave too much of a competitive advantage lmao

I fucking hated it for every reason gameplay and aesthetics

[tacit sphinx]

tbf because of visibility not like "uh why is groot here"

the messi/footballer skins were funny because they were all genuinely just fine and not particularly out of place

but also it's lionel messi

[arctic grove]

Cod always starts out like semi tacticool n shit then season 1 hits and

yknow

[patent pivot]

siege too

don't denyt that

[tacit sphinx]

siege does not release new games

[arctic grove]

Siege has just completely went 180 from what I’ve seen

[patent pivot]

this is why I retired from siege

game went from semi tactical shooter to a valorant style game

fuck Ubisoft

[tacit sphinx]

like this is a completely irrelevant response, r6s has been out for 8 years

[patent pivot]

honestly

I wished siege didn't go esport

all of this nonsense in the game wouldn't happen

[tacit sphinx]

ok bud

lets get you to some milsim server or something

[patent pivot]

I don't even love realism

give me an arcade or half mix, with appropriate character skins and art style

[boreal dust]

buy different games for differetn gameplays

I was telling my boys earlier today you know i dont even play COD anymore bc battlefield just offers so much more

[arctic grove]

Eh

[patent pivot]

I still play mw3 with mods

[boreal dust]

not that COD is bad but youre paying for the same thing year after year

[patent pivot]

and soon, bf4 WR

[arctic grove]

That I disagree with, battlefield is more open and sandboxy, it doesn’t replace CoDs fast paced action

[boreal dust]

If 2042 had more destructability paired with the storms they have conquest would be so amazing

[arctic grove]

That’s why as bad as CoD is I personally don’t act like I’m above playing it or whatever cause it doesn’t have many competitors

[patent pivot]

get rid of specialist, and improve the AI bots and other offline capabilities

then maybe the game is alright

[shut cedar]

COD is bad cause it went full fortnite.

Battlefield went halfway then went back.

[boreal dust]

idk I dont mind the specialists too much? like the abilities all play out fairly well, some kits could be improved like the support kit and maybe tweak some of the weapon attachments.

[patent pivot]

there is no team switch for solo play

good god

[boreal dust]

i agree, some of the map designs arent the best but they are a lot bigger

a lot of give and take but i still prefer it over siege and cod

[shut cedar]

The maps are decent I just wish we had more.

[patent pivot]

where ocean 🌊

[boreal dust]

They're coming!

[patent pivot]

where big ass carrier ships

[boreal dust]

I honestly wish they would give us some classic maps back like actually give back operation metro and ARICA HARBOR

[patent pivot]

CARRIER ASSAUKT

I WANNA BLOW UP ENEMY BASES

[boreal dust]

and you know what, having a squad leader is cool and all but BRING BACK THE COMMANDER ROLL

[patent pivot]

BRING BSCK COMMANDER

[boreal dust]

ARTILLERY WOULD BE AMAZING WOULD IT NOT

[patent pivot]

I WANNA HARASS THE ENEMIES WITH UAV, JAMMER, AND

MF GUNSHIP

[tacit sphinx]

commander fucking sucks you guys just dont like doing anything other than battlefield

[patent pivot]

AND BIG ASS MISSILE

[boreal dust]

I FORGOT ABOUT THE GUNSHIPPPP

omfgggggggg

[tacit sphinx]

oh boy someone drops a missile on my head that i can do nothing about because theyre on the shitter not actually present in the match

[arctic grove]

Commander was okay

[patent pivot]

gunship is so shitty in 4

dies to one rocket from jet

what a waste

[arctic grove]

To be fair the cruise missile was only accessible if your team controlled a specific objective

[tacit sphinx]

basically all the "woah cool" stuff commander did you could have as squad call-ins like bfv

[patent pivot]

and gunship

[arctic grove]

Which, for most of the game was only accessible by helicopter

[patent pivot]

don't mind me. I'll camp back at base

[arctic grove]

Yeah reinforcements has a lot of the commander esque stuff I guess

[boreal dust]

okay but this is like advanced combat, having a commander role would be another level of gameplay that would actually fit into the game

[tacit sphinx]

id still rather the stuff in the match not be influenced by someone who is not actually a present player

[arctic grove]

I mean tbf if you have one person not in the match commandeering for your team they can emp the enemy commander

Or whatever it was

[boreal dust]

with all these open spaces in 128 artillery would make all the difference, and actual UAVS would be cool.

[patent pivot]

don't forget promote squad

[arctic grove]

Commander relies more on the in game team than the other way around

[boreal dust]

Yeah the squad system isnt too bad in 2042, I wish it was a lot easier to communicate within your own squad

I cant tell you how many times ive been so agitated bc i cant yell at my squad mate that before he decides to revive me that theres an enemy about 3 ft behind him

lmao

[patent pivot]

if commander exists in the game

Angel wouldn't exist

[boreal dust]

Angel is such an out of place specialist

like wtf

ppl die plenty enough man

[patent pivot]

BR stuff

[boreal dust]

like maybe if he dropped different ammunition types or sum

[patent pivot]

give me a spec that can promote squad

[boreal dust]

or maybe it could be integrated for the top 3 squads per team haha

[wide shore]

Or make the loadout crate a buildable instead of a drop in. So people can get the benefits of using the full ammo resupply indoors, and doesn’t take forever for it to fall

[tawny carbon]

That sounds like more of an engineer role than a support role to build stuff.

[lilac dust]

That season 7 teaser for one of the maps looks cool and all but it better not be like "Here's 1 tiny spot of an arica harbour type town and the rest of the map is containers and silos" ..... Don't be another reclaimed

[blazing terrace]

If I get another reclaimed I’m gonna scream

[spare quest]

[merry heart]

[spare quest]

I really don't wanna know where this is from

[upbeat sand]

Oh look 2 maps

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔 https://youtu.be/IVPSeczWobo?si=b9J-4OhGzyZa9xki

Interesting 🧐

[tepid briar]

What would you guys rather have? Karkand, Oman, or Atacama desert make a return?

[next onyx]

I would love to see Bad Co 2 maps in general to return.

I'm biased because I think as a whole they look and play more interestingly than maps from all the way back at Bf2.

[lunar finch]

playing with a squad in control just isnt fair

Was on the ground in a T28 while my friends were in an attack heli just giving call outs

[alpine orbit]

The amount of newbies in servers will do that. It doesn't take much to take over control as long as you're effectively communicating

[lunar finch]

real

but the entire team switching to stingers does become unbearable fast

[alpine orbit]

Depends on the map

[merry heart]

only i want to see come back from BF Hardline was the American Dream

[tawny carbon]

EE?

[blazing terrace]

EE.

[ruby loom]

EA SPORTS

[prime ember]

ok so the first map is chile and the second one really seems to be the border between saudi arabia and unites arab emirates .

[tawny carbon]

O. I see, thanks ☺️

I haven’t seen EE used in ages. My bad. 😞

[rare cipher]

Anyone else has problems unlocking the a-91? To unlock it in 2042 you need to make 100 kills with a-91 in bf3 era. I have the problem that my kills with a-91 in bf3 era never gets registred

[primal flax]

Can someone pin this please. FIX THE PART WHERE THE GAME JUST LOADS AND YOU DONT HAVE TO RELAUNCH BF 2042 TWICE MY GOODNESSS

[frozen loom]

Electrical Engineering.

[lone void]

S7 EE when

[lone void]

You can also use a 2042 weapon I can't remember which one tho

AM40?

That's how I did it because portal is kinda ass

Also the A91 is pretty nice, do recommend

[karmic egret]

Ain't gonna lie mackay has that grip strength

[vital quail]

Does spotting with R1, Q(?), or the button on xbox give a red dot for everyone on your team for the few seconds? Not the minimap dot but above the player model

[karmic egret]

Yes

I spam that shit so hard

[vital quail]

Thanks. Just going fucking insane as a pilot trying to use hydra rockets

Can't see shit

Nobody spots

[karmic egret]

Welcome to battlefield

[vital quail]

It's the easiest shit in the whole world and people can't even do it when actively shooting at someone

[azure zenith]

People would win alot more lobbies if they would spot enemies. Lol

[vital quail]

Feel like I should send a chat at the start of every match to remind everyone what the spot button is

[lone void]

R1 my most used button on BF4 and 1, just press it everywhere

2042 has the shitty danger ping when you double tap so you can't abuse it

Also Soflam is the most inconsistent spotting device in the game

[leaden lava]

Matan is a wild pilot ngl

[sour sable]

bro when will this game be playable? no bugs and more content than bf1?

also optimized and fixed netcode

[pine roost]

Idk

Less bugs now than a while ago

[sour marlin]

Where was this found

[sour sable]

imma wait 3 years to play, don't want to get dissapointed

w8

are operators still a thing?

have they fixed the class system>?

[next onyx]

They've balanced operators round the class system yes.

[sour sable]

what about desync?

[spare pasture]

Flood zone

What makes you say “this shits ass man” in a match

[pearl ridge]

Most of the maps to be honest

I’ve tallied it up, the only map that hasn’t made me say “I fucking hate this place” so far is Spearhead.

[spare pasture]

[rotund kite]

I always wonder whats the point of damage assist

[stone cradle]

Has always existed

Before the game even

Basically promotional concept art for the 'world of 2042'

As a means to tease the setting and lore

[sour marlin]

So basically this map

Was gonna come out ages ago

They messed up it delayed

[tawny carbon]

I have a feeling the map on the road map is infantry focused. Idk why. But if it’s true. More the merrier on infantry focused maps.

[sour marlin]

And comes out a few years later lol

[sour marlin]

This new map with LTVs and infantry only breakthrough in CQB urban would tickle me

[tawny carbon]

That’s dope asf, lets goo 🥳

[sour marlin]

Lowkey

That’s battlefield

But Ngl, imagine having mortars back

And being able to use it as a squad perk - like the special stuff on bfv

And flatten a gulag section

Oooooof

Tickle me

[karmic egret]

Dannyonsteriods (dannyonpc)

[tacit sphinx]

what

[near silo]

Meh

[pearl ridge]

Low-rise urban maps with infantry focus and a few ground vehicles scattered throughout is good

No fucking aircraft though. I am very insistent on this.

I am so sick of helicopters.

OH GO FUCK YOURSELF

Sure just put me into a match literally one ticket from loss

Now I have to sit through all this end of round shit

Your matchmaking fucking blows, dice.

Matchmaking means that I’m constantly forced into a loop of empty or ending servers

If we just had a browser I could get into a queue and that would be that

[tidal trail]

Objectively false because that title actually belongs to me.

[ruby loom]

Servers down in BF2042 again?

[lone void]

my game is actually broken lmao

I thought BFStats was tracking weird but I actually do only have 1,166 LCMG kills

but still T1

[chilly jacinth]

Ai kills maybe

[tacit sphinx]

is that checked from the in game menu/mastery

[lone void]

yes

from the stats page

hmm

it got weirder

[ruby loom]

just use gametools.net

[lone void]

PBX shows at flat mastery 40 (1,200 kills) from collection but 1,205 in stats

bruh

the LCMG one gets better becasuse it's level 42

I don't think the stats page likes AI kills

RPT mastery tracks at 1,017 kills bvut stats tracks it at 984

still doesn't account for missing kills

or extra kills even

IDK with this game lmao

[tacit sphinx]

it's possibly that, i know bftracker doesn't like tracking if you leave a match before it ends

so it might be that

[lone void]

this is the in game stats tho

[tacit sphinx]

yes

[lone void]

oh

that's silly

[tacit sphinx]

but the bftracker thing could be a knock on from that

[lone void]

the game is tracking the same numbers twice and one of them is wrong

that's pog

AK-24 is the same, 1,169 mastery 40

something has gone wrong

[marble bay]

So is 2042 worth the cash or no?

[lone void]

ye

[marble bay]

Sorry to interupt

[tacit sphinx]

i mean it wouldnt have been a conscious decision, just idk what syncing processes there are in the background and sometimes it might drop a few because it missed something - i'm not sure how it manages to track two different numbers but w/e

generally idc for the precise stats gimme the shiny skin and the badge and im happy enough lol

[lone void]

At least I have my precious T1 badges

I'm a little bit of a perfectionist I like to finish a weapon when I get so far with it before using something else

[livid tusk]

The badges should bump you ability with the weapon! If you have a tier 1, it should bump your accuracy say 5 to 10 percent....

[lone void]

no

Mastery is merely a sign of...mastery

you have earned the right to wield the weapon with all its faults

it needs no further benefit to be utilised by a master as yourself

other than a shiny and often dopshit skin

[ruby loom]

no clue what u talkin

[livid tusk]

I know the first time I used an M16 not very good with it, but after a long time using it, much better accuracy and control.

[tacit sphinx]

bruh

[lone void]

that's just learning

[tacit sphinx]

bro wants an attachment unlock for 1200 kills ig

Another item - get some better weapon set-ups.

Call of duty weapon setup much greater and better than BF.

[tacit sphinx]

yeah i would like to see a bit more depth to the weapon customisation in the next title, imo 2042 made some sacrifices for the sake of having the plus system

[patent pivot]

its fine for me

Just attach sights and UBGL, and such

keep it simple like older BF

[lone void]

breakthrough just is not fun when your whole team is braindead

run away simulator

fucking cool

thanks

[tepid briar]

Is conquest assault in 2042?

[mental delta]

It's in Portal I think

[tacit sphinx]

yeah you can make it and there might be servers, but there's no official conquest assault mode

[eager arrow]

Anyone know when rush xl is returning?

[arctic grove]

Battlefield needs a gunsmith tbh

[tacit sphinx]

i mean you can label any weapon customisation system as gunsmith, but yeah something akin to recent cod games (specifically the modern warfare titles) would be cool

[arctic grove]

True, yeah I mean akin to the modern warfare gunsmith

[tacit sphinx]

cold war and vanguard both had some wacky bits to it, CW having strange secondary effects and some visual weirdness and vanguard having no limit to what options you could put

10ish total slots but only being able to have 5 attachments is more interesting

[arctic grove]

And now the 2024 cod is bringing back that shit pick 10 system..

[tacit sphinx]

tbf part of my reasoning is just being able to build specific weapon variants

[arctic grove]

I just hate it cause I MUST play gun dress up

[tacit sphinx]

yeah

that was the only bit of mw2019 i really enjoyed, but i was pretty limited in that i didnt like playing the game so i didnt really have much levelled up lol

[arctic grove]

Fair enough

[tacit sphinx]

is it? i wasnt aware there was any info at all around the next title tbh

[lone solstice]

hey, how much more time do i have to complete the battlepass?

[tacit sphinx]

that feels like a surprisingly specific detail to know this early on

[tacit sphinx]

like 4 half weeks

[lone solstice]

okay sweet

thanks!

[tacit sphinx]

possibly

[mental delta]

I agree but not like the one in COD because there are too many attchments and it gets impossible to balance, but a proper gunsmith with much more customization than in BF2042 would be welcomed

[tacit sphinx]

yeah ive seen the mw3 options and there's like just a silly amount of grips and stuff with tiny differences

like options are nice but you don't need that many options lol

[mental delta]

Yeah and it makes no differences at all for some attchments

The thing I find really interesting though is that there are so many customization options it can almost replace gun skins

Like you can turn your M4 block III into a simple M4 or AR-15

You can turn your AK-74 into AK-74u or AK-12

I'd like to see same thing in Battlefield

But idk if that's their plan

[fringe spire]

Anyone else start to notice sniping spots IRL after practicing snipers too much in bf2042?

[languid geyser]

When do we get a new season?😊😊😊

[tacit sphinx]

early march

[arctic grove]

Well maybe, it’s only according to “inside leaks” so stuff can definitely change, although it comes from the idea that the next cod is rumored to be like some sort of Cold War/bo2 sequel

[languid geyser]

@tacit sphinx nice☺️

[tacit sphinx]

cold war didn't have that system though

[arctic grove]

So that’s my fault lol should have specified

[tacit sphinx]

seems like kinda misguided speculation or just an early build

[arctic grove]

True

[dapper river]

Two rumors have surfaced: a gulf war black ops game, and a direct sequel to BO2 set in 2030. Maybe it'll be dual timelines like BO2, who knows?

[mental delta]

It's gonna feature 2 maps this time

[arctic grove]

It combines mw2 and 3 attachments, I mean I think it’s more about aesthetics and selling those weapon blueprints

[dapper river]

Does it count when one of those maps is a remake of a remake?

[mental delta]

A direct prequel to Black Ops 2 would be incredible, because there never was any modern Black Ops game, it was either Cold War or near-future

[mental delta]

Huh what ?

[tacit sphinx]

tbf yeah i dont mind a few similar grips having the same effect and just being effectively skins but also it seems like a ton

[arctic grove]

I personally like the amount of options for greater customization. And sledgehammer is apparently working on the attachment balancing

[tepid briar]

THANKS!

[dapper river]

the teaser they released, I'm 95% sure it's an Arica remake. has the same buildings and everything

[tacit sphinx]

hes hung up on it looking reminiscent of arica harbour because theyre both chilean towns lol

what in your definition counts as a remake

[dapper river]

When they made dust2 for CSGO twice

[tepid briar]

we already have Arica tho?

[tacit sphinx]

how different does it have to be to be not a remake

[mental delta]

Np

[tepid briar]

maybe just reused assets?

[dapper river]

DICE would NEVER.....

[mental delta]

There's already Arica harbor in BF2042, moreover the map looks like it's set in Mexico

[dapper river]

bruh the chilean flag is everywhere lel

[tacit sphinx]

from the map (and the fact it says atacama) it's chile

[fringe spire]

Chile

[mental delta]

Ho I thought new map was gonna be a Mexican one my bad

[remote kiln]

it is, but isnt

it's of the town in the desert not the desert itself

[tacit sphinx]

but i will take notice of the fact that he's avoided actually elaborating past going "guys its a remake!!1!" and say its not worth paying attention to lol

[merry heart]

[tepid briar]

I think its going to be a town in the location of the Atacama desert. Using the Arica Harbor assets.

[mental delta]

I hope the desert part is smaller than the urban part, I like Arica Harbor but now I feel like it's time to get a proper urban one

[mental delta]

Time to get some empanadas

[remote kiln]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Pedro_de_Atacama that is where the map is

[dapper river]

would be funny if it's got 85% open desert like hourglass 1.0

[tacit sphinx]

@remote kiln after all that yesterday where the timer in the store actually did line up with the 3 week extension to the season, it now says 18 days lining up with the 2 and a halfish weeks of the season we knew we had left before the announcement

so idfk whats going on with it lol

[remote kiln]

ffs

[tepid briar]

[remote kiln]

I wish DICE would just say something

instead of this mysticism they always do

[dapper river]

[languid geyser]

@mental delta cool, we need new maps😊

[merry heart]

pretty accurate

[tepid briar]

not gunna lie, that looks horrible lol. as long as its a town, we'll have to see

[tacit sphinx]

i mean that's just a random real life picture lol

[remote kiln]

nah

[tacit sphinx]

[remote kiln]

it's based in Bahrain/qatar

given this is fake mythical future I wouldn't be shocked if they redesigned san Pedro on the assumption of people living there in xyz time

[mental delta]

Yeah let's not give them bad ideas lol

[remote kiln]

like the rest of bc2 gets forgotten about?

[mental delta]

XYZ time ? Looks like some equation to solve dude

[remote kiln]

wouldn't be the first

[tacit sphinx]

it was also bf3 i think

[merry heart]

American Dream never4get

[tepid briar]

A lot of people want to see Atacama Desert BFBC2

[mental delta]

2xy + 2yz + x² + 2xy + z²

[tacit sphinx]

honestly im kind of surprised we havent got wake island actually nvm it is definitely underwater by now

[tepid briar]

again??

[mental delta]

I never played that

[remote kiln]

the megladon would have went extinct

what are they going to add instead some robot shark

[tacit sphinx]

i mean its whole thing is that it's been in a bunch of titles

[mental delta]

Nah it would have extended as a specy because there are more people in the water to eat

[languid geyser]

I love those maps because im a tank driver😁

[spare pasture]

I bet you would like world of tanks

[languid geyser]

Battlefield is good for me. Everybody needs a good tanker in their team

[mental delta]

Everybody needs a good team for their tanker

Idk if it works in that sense as well

Lol

[remote kiln]

always the tank players who get discriminated against

[spare pasture]

Also a good transport

[languid geyser]

People hates tanks? Let them play CoD🤣

[mental delta]

Yeah but fuck transport helis in BF2042

[spare pasture]

Errmm I think you mean gunship (ITS NOT EVEN A GUNSHIP AN AC-130 IS A GUNSHIP NOT A HIND😭

[languid geyser]

@remote kiln yeah those are campers. Im always helping with taking flags

[mental delta]

When they changed their names to gunship I recall everyone freaking out lol, and it was totally justified

[dapper river]

tank drivers were tolerable when I could just strap 3 C4's to my casper drone and deal with vehicle campers the American™️ way

[languid geyser]

@remote kiln can i add screenshots in the chat?

[remote kiln]

you can't

[languid geyser]

Hmm oke

[remote kiln]

you need the booster or regular role

[spare pasture]

Idk they are pretty tolerable now

[remote kiln]

[dapper river]

Following tanks around and constantly EMPing them is still funny tho

[spare pasture]

1984

[languid geyser]

@remote kiln a guy in my tank wrote in the game chat: 'finally, someone who knows how to use a tank". 🙈🙈

[spare pasture]

Is there a reason to play Boris anymore?

[mental delta]

He got the drip with some skins, otherwise no

[tacit sphinx]

his turret is ok and he has some good skins but yeah crawford's rocket capacity just makes boris mostly obsolete

[spare pasture]

🥶like as an rpg player who normally gets 2 rockets I’d rather have an xtra rocket rather than a mid sentry

[languid geyser]

https://youtu.be/bxN6dyCcw3k?si=6VjiHJrMvfbrEY8B

Check my gameplay and u guys decide yourself

Im always open for feedback😊

[tacit sphinx]

it's unfortunate, if anything i would like them to potentially just make that capacity increase standard but boris could definitely do with a more interesting trait since his is just "uh yeah if he stands near the turret it gets a little bit better"

[spare pasture]

I will not since I am a man who is always in a hurry for an ammo box but based on 3 seconds of gameplay I can say you are above average

[tacit sphinx]

which could just be a feature of the turret

[spare pasture]

Aren’t we basically waiting 2 seasons worth of time for one season with 2 maps

[languid geyser]

@spare pasture we really need new maps and we need it now😁

[spare pasture]

I remember some of the 2042 subreddit being really pessimistic and sure that S5 is the last season

[languid geyser]

@spare pasture btw when do u think we will get a new BF game?

[spare pasture]

2024/5

[languid geyser]

Nice

[tacit sphinx]

yeah id say next year probably

[languid geyser]

Cool🥰

[spare pasture]

I mean they could drop it tomorrow considering how it feels like 85% of the dev team has been working on something else

I want a new shotgun tbh

[tacit sphinx]

spas12 as a vault gun would be nice

[spare pasture]

I want a db/leveraction

[tacit sphinx]

return to vault guns in general would be nice

[mental delta]

Yeh the 3 RPG rockets only for Crawford thing is really stupid, engineer is already a bit underpowered

[spare pasture]

They might be nerfing lis to focus more on air vehicles

[tacit sphinx]

lis is already weak against ground as is

sure she can get hits decently consistently but she can put about 50 damage on a tank and then has to wait for years before she can actually shoot

[languid geyser]

I want

Wake island🙈

[spare pasture]

Naval only map?

[languid geyser]

Its a BF2 map

I feel so old now😁

[spare pasture]

Sir it’s/from 1942

[pine roost]

I’ll have you know bfV invented it

[median jolt]

what are some good smgs guys please

[dapper river]

wake island wouldn't work because there are like 2 water vehicles in this game, one of which, the RHIB, isn't even from the 2042 era

[limber orbit]

we can swim cant we?

[dapper river]

yeah, people certainly try, especially on Noshahr Canals rush

[next onyx]

Dice can always fall back on their reliance of transport choppers to balance out their game.

Don't worry.

[chilly jacinth]

[median jolt]

do those farm servers help unlock requirements towards new vehicles

[tawny carbon]

One day we can swim in the water like BF4 again.

[spare pasture]

Bf4? Best friends 4?

[coarse elbow]

Did they actually say they're going to extend S6's battle pass?

[tacit sphinx]

well

[tawny carbon]

Battlefield 4

[tacit sphinx]

the season is extended, yesterday the timer on the battle pass in the store lined up with what we knew but it’s now changed to 18 days which is what we knew about before yesterday

so it’s not super clear lol

[spare pasture]

Omg bf4 😱😱😱

[tawny carbon]

That’s till February…. 🤔

[spare pasture]

I’m tired of the constant blue/white skins

[tawny carbon]

Be the one with the T1

[dapper river]

T1 skins would look better without the red accents, with dark gray in its place

[slow vessel]

God imagine if we could fly a AC-130 lmfao

[jovial minnow]

when new season ?

[tawny carbon]

March

[rain fjord]

im at tier 56, I can still finish the bp before march ?

I mainly only play conquest

just bough the game last week

[quaint vector]

Yeah, just play, play and play.. Do all the Weekly Missions and you'll made it to Tier 100

Its still 3 weeks before Season ends so you have some time

[rain fjord]

yep definitly will do, thanks

is it ok if I send you a picture of a weapon in private and you tell me whats it name

this dude was in my lobby and he was dominating everyone with this weapon

[next onyx]

Did it have a cylinderacle mag.

I could assist in that too.

[rain fjord]

nop, that the 12M auto I think 😂 😂 shit is broken af just unlocked it yesterday and maxed it max level today

bet thanks a lot ill send the pic

sent the pic

[next onyx]

That's the VHX.

[rain fjord]

is it worth it ? I mean I have it unlocked just need to max it out

I just maxed the G36

the deagle as well and the 12M auto

[next onyx]

Yeah the vhx is the best close to midrange gun in the game.

[rain fjord]

nice will definity do it then, and for long range what would you recommand

[next onyx]

But it primarily shreds close range.

Erm.

Round the 50 metre mark I would say go for the SFAR M with high powered drums.

Truth be told I primarily main the scar and used it regardless of the state of the metagame.

Cause it's always been strong despite the power creep.

[rain fjord]

yeah I was googling around and almost all the sites recommand the scar

kinda new to the game, didnt play since bf4

[next onyx]

Oh yeah

I haven't used my scar since hardline.

[rotund kite]

the annoying sentry gun

I see it everywhere in my games

[spare pasture]

I kinda like using the m1911 just for fun

[rotund kite]

yeah, not as good as in bf4 tho

the magnum 44 still as good as in bf4 or even better

[spare pasture]

Extended mag

[tacit sphinx]

it’s a pocket sniper but it’s slow

[rotund kite]

yeah very slow, short range the deagle is better
but the hs with the m44 is so satisfying, it's my main secondary

[open fractal]

use DE ?

[arctic grove]

Ya tu des Québécois ?

[quaint vector]

English only please.

[karmic anchor]

Hi

[quaint vector]

Heyooo

[karmic anchor]

i just decided to play this game 😭 I've never played a battlefield game before

my brother recommended it to me

[tacit sphinx]

it’s not really what i go for in a secondary

but it is decent if you can use it well

in the beta it was almost a more effective sniper than the sws

[mental delta]

Kalis de tabernacle

[arctic grove]

[tawny carbon]

I see a Battlepass sweat

[tacit sphinx]

this is not a particularly sweaty point in the season to be getting stuff done

[tawny carbon]

I only T100 the pass and barely play the season after

[spare pasture]

Renewal if it wasn’t just mostly flat areas with lacking cover and snipers

[copper ice]

never ever

[vast shale]

guys how do i join a practice mode

i cant find it

does it exist?

[spare pasture]

🥶

[vast shale]

what

[vague horizon]

Practice mode?

[vast shale]

yeah

roam around

test guns

vehicles

without getting blown up

[patent path]

make one in portal

surely someone already has made one

[vast shale]

alright

[rotund kite]

so I tried another map after a while that is not redacted

my team took a base rap* in 4 minutes

[cobalt dove]

Do we know when the pass is extended until?

[remote kiln]

nope

no statement from DICE

[naive oracle]

Looking for 4v4 6v6 rush scrim esb rules EN ECHION PLATOON⚔️

platoon here looking for any challengers

[lilac dust]

Welcome to the battlefield

[lone onyx]

From latest press release it says that S7 doesnt start till mid March so im guessing current pass extended till then.

[lone onyx]

Welcome to the game! 2042 isnt best in series but good game. If u enjoy it then def give the previous games a go.

[karmic anchor]

cheers dudes

my older brother likes battlefield so i think i have a couple of the other ones too

[slow tulip]

Are we getting news about the next battlefield after season 7?

[split ember]

Wtf my EA app disappeared

[remote kiln]

did you look behind your monitor
