[tawny carbon]

reinstall the app

[mental delta]

BF4 is way better on all aspects imo, but it's far less worth it to play it because it has low playercount nowadays and because it's a bit dated now

[grand igloo]

would i have to reinstall tha game

[mental delta]

Still a fucking good game though and playable

[tawny carbon]

no

[grand igloo]

didnt work :/ any other ideas?

[tawny carbon]

are you using origin or eap app?

[median jolt]

co si hral?

[grand igloo]

EA

[quaint vector]

English only please

[median jolt]

what did u play

like

infantry

or vehicle

[quaint vector]

I'm mostly Infantry, Zain with SFAR that round

[median jolt]

what AR do you paly

[quaint vector]

I always change my weapons during rounds or switching a lot to next round..

But my most Favorite with most kills is M5A3

[median jolt]

ty

[next onyx]

Ah great windows is copying me now.

[quaint vector]

Naaah, I just don't know what Class + Weapon I should play..

I also played Boris which is not something I play normally...

[low timber]

And you are/were copying me

With the Claymore

[solid crag]

crazy people

[next onyx]

No the claymore came naturally.

Don't do this to me

[solid crag]

oh do claymores walk in 42?

[zinc phoenix]

Anyone on ps5 know where I can find the update Info for 1.000.050

[weak vector]

so what are everyone's favorite guns? Especially ARs

[next onyx]

Scar.

[low timber]

How’s your claymore mastery Way, or should I say Sir?

[next onyx]

I have 30 left.

[tawny carbon]

Ac42 for me

[next onyx]

I haven't been playing the game a lot recently.

[low timber]

I’ve been playing gtao and fo76 after I got the season T1 badge.

[atomic egret]

Weapons are across all classes. Also, They are situational. You're not going to enjoy a sniper rifle in Redacted Conquest for too long...

[solid crag]

Well there's the ntw-50.

[atomic egret]

LoL

[weak vector]

I assume the AC-42 isn't bad? I like the scar but I just unlocked the AC-42

[solid crag]

g57

[slow tulip]

Will there be a season 8? Or we would be getting the announcement of the next battlefield game?

[solid crag]

I hope the next battlefield is the "ambitious reboot" of the series.

[royal swan]

I believe there will be a season 8 but it will be the last season

Season 8 will wrap up year two of content for 2042

[tacit sphinx]

that is also not like. two situations where the absence of one means the other will certainly happen

it's not like on whatever random tuesday s7 ends they're like "well no season 8 so here's the next game" lol

actually who am i kidding its dell conagher

[tawny carbon]

its not a forgiving weapon but its great if you can hit your shots

[neon igloo]

Is the Friends list broken atm?

[tacit sphinx]

ive heard there's some issues with it yeah

went through a convoluted process the other day to add someone on pc (im on ps5)

[stone cradle]

AC9

[tacit sphinx]

m60 pretty hot honestly

[tawny carbon]

they got a while before they can cut support for 2042 before the next game while it is still in deployment. that's my theory

[mental delta]

It's gonna be 1 map or realistically 2 maps

And a few guns

Not 4 maps and 15 guns lol

[torpid wadi]

Been liking the hk417, helps scratch that ar itch

The dm7 exists of course, but i don’t find myself liking that gun

[mental delta]

It should be full auto

[torpid wadi]

Fr

The dm7 feels like it’s supposed to be an ace of spades type of gun, but it just feels like it’s bad at everything

[mental delta]

Lol so true, it's accurate enough but rof is low af and it doesn't deal enough damages to compete with other guns, especially the seasonal ones

[torpid wadi]

Honestly i find it’s accuracy to be pretty bad

I certainly agree with the damage

[weak vector]

the G428 is the HK417, right?

what is the worst gun then?

[tacit sphinx]

i mean that's largely situational

like a sniper is probably one of the worst guns you could pick for a close quarters encounter, doesnt mean it's bad

probably like the nvk-s22 shotgun or something is one of the worst/least useful guns in the game though

all the typical limitations of a shotgun but its also just like significantly worse than any other shotgun

[torpid wadi]

Ah yes that’s it, couldn’t remember the ingame name

The shotguns in general suck dick in this game

[tacit sphinx]

not really

12m auto and the mcs are both pretty competent for video game shotguns

the s22 is just bad and boring

[torpid wadi]

The 12m is decent, but i find the mcs to be extremely lacking

Or perhaps i should say extremely inconsistent

Sometimes you will one tap someone from full health from a decent distance and other times it feels like you are shooting confetti at them from closer ranges

[tacit sphinx]

when did you last use it

[torpid wadi]

Prolly last week

It is definitely better than it was, but i still don’t find it consistent

[weak vector]

so basically, all guns sorta have their own use?

I don't even think I have the 12m unlocked

ah nope I'm not lvl 44...yet

[tacit sphinx]

i mean yeah

[weak vector]

how good is the XCE BAR? The stats don't look very good

[tacit sphinx]

xce is my least favourite sniper rifle

although the in game stat bars are mostly pretty meaningless

[torpid wadi]

Aye more or less, so long as you use em as intended you’ll do fine

[tacit sphinx]

it’s not like… bad, i think when i’ve actually tried committing to it i wasn’t using it how it does best which is arguably with a smaller scope on as almost more of a dmr role

it is generally the worst for what you might think of as sniping though

[tawny carbon]

XCE is so far my fav sniper but i wish it had faster firerate , ads speed. so it will be built for close to mid range instead. other than that, i enjoy using it

[torpid wadi]

Guns with slow ads kill me to use

[tawny carbon]

i wish the XCE was more cqb than SWS but still keep its high accuracy still

[tacit sphinx]

im surprised the xce doesnt have a red dot available

considering the sws and especially the dxr both have at least a couple

[tawny carbon]

same

it does act like a FYJS from BF4 tho due to its dmg range and velocity with accuracy

FYJS was also my main sniper from BF4

[grand igloo]

is anyone getting unable to connet to the ea servers please check your internet connection make sure the platform clienet is online and try again error?

[remote holly]

In pc?

[grand igloo]

yup

[remote holly]

Cuz that happens to me sometime, i need to Close ea client, then reopen it

otherwise, even bf2042 won't run

[grand igloo]

ive been trying all day xD

[remote holly]

Oh damn, for me, it just gets fixed by Closing the client properly

[grand igloo]

nope

nothings working, restarting router, restarting pc, uninstalling EA app, nothing

[remote holly]

Thats weird, it worked fine for me today

[grand igloo]

its not even attempting to connect, it almost instantly gives me this error

[quick oyster]

Me and my friends can’t see any of each other online

[glossy crag]

dafuq

cant see friend list in game

anyone with same problem?

[pine roost]

Yes, the person who posted right before you

[vivid dirge]

uninstalling EA app and then reinstalling it and relaunching usually fixes for me

[vivid dirge]

ye

[grand igloo]

tried it already :/

[vivid dirge]

well tbh

being as how everyones social is mysteriously having issues, im assuming servers are prolly having a stroke

[remote holly]

Yup

i couldn't connect to ea server for a day once

next day it was fixed for me

[vivid dirge]

they did weird maintenece the other day for unknown reasons, but the update drops on the 16th on w/e weird timezone they use, so there is that

[remote holly]

Ye

[vivid dirge]

lmk if anyones social starts working again

[grand igloo]

EAs servers are the definition of dogshit

[vivid dirge]

well when you hire a dev team out of a cereal box....

[upbeat kindle]

does anyone know what to do when i put in the custom match code and when i start the game it just says undefined error in the bottom right?

[buoyant tartan]

ea servers down or something? cant see any of my friends online

[calm bison]

Wait till you see Ubisoft’s servers

At least EA knows how to fix their servers

[near silo]

Anybody else experience when getting out of a vehicle and shooting someone, your gun is shooting blanks

Its firing but nothings coming out. Happens to me everytime I’m a passenger

[grand igloo]

I experience that too but not when getting out of vehicles

Its really random for me

[near silo]

Yeah, I could land every shot and it’s like I’m firing air.

[tawny carbon]

MWIII servers is worse than 2042 servers

[near silo]

It’s COD, expect nothing less

[upbeat kindle]

does anyone know why it says undefined error when i try to play a custom match from a code

[robust pagoda]

wingsuits are such lit

if only i could deploy it from anywhere

[rotund kite]

happens to me even when I'm not jumpping out of vehicles
the hit registration of 2042 is horrific

[neon crest]

Is this game still alive?

[copper fulcrum]

Yes, very much so.

[pearl ridge]

I still don't understand how this game, which is much more reliant on cosmetics than BFV ever was, still has worse cosmetic options.

The gun skins are usually crappy spraypaint patterns, the outfits have at best two parts

The top tier outfits don't even let you separate the headgear

[robust pagoda]

the condor is worlds better than the super hind

[sterile patrol]

Quick question. When I discord stream battlefield2042 all sound on my computer just is disabled or nothing comes out it seems. Is there a known fix?

[pearl ridge]

The Hind is a nightmare in the hands of a competent pilot. The condor isn't nearly as manoeuvrable

[vital quail]

Anyone here on playstation keep getting error messages saying "not signed into playstation network", while still signed in?

[robust pagoda]

exactly, competent hind pilots are nearly nonexistant on xbox due to them probably being on foot

[pearl ridge]

Crossplay means that doesn't matter.

I find that Condors serve better as actual transports because they can zoom over to the back points and drop a squad before anyone realises what's going on

But in a fight, they get shredded.

[robust pagoda]

pondhawk

[robust pagoda]

why is the suppressed marksman rifle thats supposed to be an smg so heavily nerfed compared to its real life counterpart

[pearl ridge]

What, the BSV?

If what I'm hearing from Ukraine is any indication, they actually work better in-game than they do IRL.

They're not that quiet and their penetrative power is dogshit. So much for that fancy unique ammo.

[robust pagoda]

the firerate though

its been butchered to hell

the vss shoots way faster

[robust pagoda]

sundance is absolute shit on some maps

[fresh lintel]

Competent pilots in general are hard to find. Best you get are stealth heli shitters.

[robust pagoda]

yeah

[robust pagoda]

its hard to find decent people who ARENT sniping aswell

[fresh lintel]

Thankfully console snipers are mostly bad.

[robust pagoda]

its also hard to find people noy using the vhx d3

its everywhere

im use lmgs

its a struggle

[fresh lintel]

Once you memorize your snipers drop points it should be easy to snipe. Outside of maybe the aimassist fucking you with moving targets.

And yeah. Meta weapon Falks will never go away. And its either always a Falk or Sundance/Mackay.

[robust pagoda]

i use lmg sundance

[fresh lintel]

I use whatever AR since the extra ammo is nice.

[robust pagoda]

yeah

[fresh lintel]

I only use VHX when I need to put someone in their place. And thats usually Hacker. But hes typically in Redacted with a 12m Blasco.

[robust pagoda]

that sweet mobility

yeah

thats understandable

[fresh lintel]

Like its my highest HSR weapon. Its the ONLY gun I have a 33% HSR with.

Every other gun is below 30

[robust pagoda]

no clue what a hsr is

im honestly a noob

only level 16

hit success?

[fresh lintel]

Headshot Ratio

[robust pagoda]

oho

[fresh lintel]

Its either the amount of headshots you make in total or the amount of kills you get that are headshots

I'm actually unsure which, but the guns a laser beam.

[robust pagoda]

sounds annoying

[fresh lintel]

And since you're Xbox you'll probably eventually see me bitch in all chat one way or another.

[robust pagoda]

ouch my team is getting bodied rn

[robust pagoda]

we are losing 550 to 1068

just got teabagged wtf

holy shit we just got fucking WIPED

we lost 1500 to 0

my whole squad bailed

[willow sky]

If i see a bunch of vhx users, i gotta swap to it honestly

[next onyx]

I just use am40.

[merry heart]

i swap to AC42 if i see VHX users and im super wired on caffeine. one burst to the chest should skill them quickly.

[fresh lintel]

See, I use the AM40 too. But on console its genuinely putting yourself at a disadvantage when facing VHX's.

And plus like, 33% HSR on VHX and 20 something on AM40. Its so easy getting headshots with it 😭

[robust vapor]

brrrrrrrrrrrrrt

[quiet shell]

I remember when the AC42 single fire was so strong

I want it back

[fresh lintel]

AC42 still underrated

One of my favourite guns

[rugged heron]

I'm bored anyone wanna run Redacted conquest and just chill?

https://go.ea.com/BF2042-Update-6-2-1

Jan 16, 2024, 9:52 AM

[lone void]

Mine has "crashed" while turning off a couple times

Weirdly it only happened when turning off and not going into rest mode like everyone flagged when it launched

So now I always just put it to sleep

[tacit sphinx]

the only issue i’ve encountered so far with mine was that 2042 (and possibly other online games tbf) had a really stutter connection, id get mad ping spikes constantly making it almost unplayable which i fixed by switching the wifi bandwidth or smth

but i got mine in black friday sales so i’ve only had it for like a month and a half or smth

[lone void]

Skill issue sounds like your Internet is shit

[tacit sphinx]

it is

it wasn’t an issue with the console although i don’t think i ever had to do the same thing with my ps4

but also i had that for like seven years i may well have done it years ago and forgotten

[lone void]

Is the Type-88 just worse than the other LMGs?

judging by the stat block it isn't mighty impressive

[tacit sphinx]

eh its alright

the stat bars are as always pretty meaningless

it's not like notable for anything but its fairly controllable especially on a bipod and sort of just chugs along at a decent rof

[lone void]

I've picked up the M240B after finishing T1 on the RPT

feels nice

[tacit sphinx]

yeah the m240 is pretty solid

i can suggest the m60 as well it's pretty nice, you really want the warhawk muzzle on though

[lone void]

oh I hate that one

[tacit sphinx]

it takes a little adjusting

[lone void]

just topped a game with 4 kills, 10 deaths, 2 revives and 1 objective capture on breakthrough

[frozen loom]

[lone void]

redacted is shit

[robust pagoda]

we need 1000 vs 1000 conquest rn

[lone void]

I like that there's so many new players, that's great, but holy shit why are they all so bad

it's really not fun especially because they all seem to get piled into one team and it's trending towards mine

every game

[earnest badge]

Isnt week 15 supposed to be open now?

[lone void]

a few mins

[earnest badge]

ah, ok, thanks

fyi; its up now, at least on my end

[cosmic dragon]

since when was there 19 weeks in a season

[lone void]

they did extend it

[cosmic dragon]

ohh

nice

[lone void]

#game-news

[cosmic dragon]

i was only tier 50 and i didnt know if i was gonna finish this season

[lone void]

the roadmap says S6 extension

I didn't think they'd do full missions so that's nice

[cosmic dragon]

ah

wait

wdym

[lone void]

S7 comes March

they've extended S6 to fill in the gap

[cosmic dragon]

full missions

[quaint vector]

More weeks added..

[cosmic dragon]

fucking hell

you done every single one

[lone void]

I personally thought they would just extend the time you had to complete previous missions and earn XP for the Battle Pass

I didn't expect 3 additional weeks of missions

but that's a good thing for sure

[cosmic dragon]

ive done week 2 and week 6 only 💀

[lone void]

usually takes about an hour or two to finish a week

[quaint vector]

I had Battle Pass done in like Week 3 tho

[cosmic dragon]

jeez

[lone void]

you can rest now king

it took me until week 11

[quaint vector]

Nope. I'll rest after S-999

[cosmic dragon]

i have to balance my battlepass grinding because every game is live service now

[quaint vector]

Still want to hit at least S-800 before S6 end

[cosmic dragon]

ive just given up on buying battlepasses and seasonal content

it first started with destiny 2

[lone void]

but yeah weekly missions tned to be doable within the first day

easy S6 T1 now

it was tight before the extra weeks

[cosmic dragon]

ive had the game since launch and im only s 048

[lone void]

ooohh nealry have Engineer T1 badge too

hype

[tacit sphinx]

yeah if you do all the weekly missions including the bonuses you can get to level 87 with the rewards alone lmao

[lone void]

the respawn beacon mastery is totally BS btw

4k spawns but nobody ever fucking spawns on i

t

[cosmic dragon]

i spawn on them all the time

[robust pagoda]

yeah

[cosmic dragon]

pisses me off waiting for fucking someone to get out of combat

[robust pagoda]

all sundances spawn on good beacons

just put a beacon on a super high spot

we will fucking flock to it like birds

[lone void]

whenever I use it my squad just spawns on me while I'm entering a fight instead of the beacon which is safe

[cosmic dragon]

my mate only plays battlefield for sniping so he always has really good beacon spots

[robust pagoda]

pondhawk

[lone void]

that would be cool if anyone outside your squad could use it

[cosmic dragon]

also

i dont remember getting the shortcut kits

[lone void]

but it's limited to 4 people and you don't count when you use it yourself

[cosmic dragon]

but i own all of them

[lone void]

if you unlocked everything it says you own the kit because you have all the content in it

[cosmic dragon]

ohh

[lone void]

there's no point buying a bundle when you already own it all

[cosmic dragon]

fr

now i know i dont have to grind as much this season ima play some tetri

s

[lone void]

tetris grind

real

[cosmic dragon]

i dont have 95 hours on it

i know its not a lot but ive had it for like 3 months or some shi

top 500 in the uk which is something lmao

maybe i should get outside some more

[lone void]

sheeeeeesh

[robust pagoda]

vhx d-3

[lone void]

[robust pagoda]

so annoying

[lone void]

VHX can eat shit

meta abuse is cringe

I have actively avoided using popular guns as much as possible

[robust pagoda]

fr

i use g57

g57 and ak sundance

i get put on the shittiest teams ever bro

[cosmic dragon]

i remember the rm68 being like 2 hit at one point

fucking mental

i ahouldve used it

[lone void]

RM68 is fun now

not OP but defo good

[cosmic dragon]

yea it is

im tryna get T1 with the ak

im not sure what theyve done with it but i dont know if i like it

[lone void]

AK good

I do not recommend anything but standard rounds on it

I'll give you my setup I had on it and see if you like it

I got it T1 recently

[cosmic dragon]

aight

sure

[lone void]

8R holo

Champion Muzzle Brake

Standard Issue Rounds

BCG Light Grip

The extended and drum mags are optional but I find their reload speed and ammo reserves too low

once you get over the initial kick from the recoil it's fairly nice to control

[cosmic dragon]

swear

ill save that

[lone void]

I also have the 40mm HE launcher equipped on the + menu for it lmao

not sure why

[robust pagoda]

g57 goes hard honestly

[livid tusk]

interesting.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lbs0Ld5Wff0

[pearl ridge]

I don’t know what happened between V and 2042 that made them forget how to make maps

[tawny carbon]

One is modern setting as the other one is WW2

Major time difference

[pearl ridge]

Which feeds into my thesis that modern warfare fucking sucks as a setting

And it is best avoided

[chilly jacinth]

go back and play bf5 then

[untold flower]

[pearl ridge]

Maybe they should’ve actually finished the game

Instead of wasting their resources on this

[tawny carbon]

Which game?

BFV?

[pearl ridge]

V was cancelled with eastern front stuff on the horizon

[tawny carbon]

BFV didn’t meet Dice and EA’s expectations for making money.

[chilly jacinth]

Wonder why

[pearl ridge]

They pulled development entirely from both V and Battlefront 2 in order to go “all hands on deck” for 2042, only to turn out a fucking turd of a game that has taken actual years to wrangle into being playable.

[tawny carbon]

The seasonal or whatever it is, they tried. Didn’t work out as they expected.

A lot of people at the time went back to BF1 also. Which hurt BFV a lot.

[pearl ridge]

Like fuck they did, otherwise I’d actually have people to play 1 with

[tawny carbon]

People either play BF4 or 2042. The population is higher. BF1 and BFV today have a decent player base.

[pearl ridge]

Bf4 is straight up dead in OCE

[tawny carbon]

You in OCE? Oof

[pearl ridge]

And to be frank, I never particularly enjoyed it. The maps were shit and the vehicle balance was atrocious.

But people are all nostalgic for it, so when 2042 tries to mimic it, they’re all slobbering for it

[tawny carbon]

2042 is good now. It’s just modern setting with futuristic tech

[pearl ridge]

It’s the worst part of both settings

The boring part of modern and the annoying part of futuristic bullshit.

[tawny carbon]

That’s what BF4 had.

BF4 is modern with some futuristic tech.

[patent pivot]

Yet it had souls and personalities

2042 doesn't

[pearl ridge]

4 basically had negative personality for me

[patent pivot]

Bruh

You prefer specialist over regular soldiers??

[pearl ridge]

No

I just hate the stupid staticky aesthetic

The maps were boring and the weapons were largely just slightly different iterations of 5.56 rifles

[patent pivot]

Levolution was cool

[pearl ridge]

Modern warfare fucking blows

Levolution either didn’t affect the level at all or it made it worse.

You see it one time you’ve seen it every time.

[patent pivot]

Okay and? You want different events in one map?

[pearl ridge]

I’d rather it didn’t have them at all

It’s like the tornadoes.

Neat one time. Annoying every other.

[patent pivot]

Tornado can't even destroy environment

Useless

[chilly jacinth]

it can though

[patent pivot]

Like what

[chilly jacinth]

like buildings

[patent pivot]

Large scale?

Does it include props scattered on the map

[buoyant jolt]

Does SVK still 2 shot with standard rounds?

[quaint vector]

Yeah, depends on distance tho

[buoyant jolt]

Well so far hi power just seems worse

then

[fickle wharf]

use long barrel n standart issue extended

[tacit sphinx]

yeah

it has like 25m more 2hk range i think but i hate the recoil on it, super floaty and weird

[alpine tartan]

Is anyone else having problems joining parties right now

[buoyant jolt]

Is the ac-42 viable?
So far it feels like the worst assault rifle outside of portal.

[remote kiln]

yes

it has solid DPS at range and is very easy to control

[chilly jacinth]

all of the ARs are viable

[buoyant jolt]

What about the warhawk compensator and ARCOM muzzle break, are they viable over the champions muzzle break, etc?

[fringe spire]

up to 100 meters yes

otherwise you need to land headshots

high power is up to 125m

[tacit sphinx]

arcom i would say is generally not worth using, most guns don't have much hrec to start with

warhawk works pretty well with some guns

tbf in most cases it's kinda just preference, they all have fairly minimal effects anyway

[robust pagoda]

is the explosive launcher any good

[fringe spire]

it's aight

[tacit sphinx]

yeah

[robust pagoda]

do it kill good

and how much boulets does it have

[tacit sphinx]

it’s a guaranteed kill if you direct hit, you can carry two shots for it

[robust pagoda]

ouch thats steep

its so annoying to get

[tacit sphinx]

what's the requirements?

[chilly jacinth]

it has good aoe one shot range

[quaint vector]

Infantry Breakthrough is great..

[chilly jacinth]

not even 100

[untold flower]

what time is it in china

[quaint vector]

I mean... I'm doing pretty good althoug I switched from PS5 to PC and its like 1 week for me now

[untold flower]

must be chinese cheaters oclock

[naive quiver]

Why Chinese people like to cheat

team somehow lost the last pt on kaleidoscope

[tacit sphinx]

i mean it’s bots

[robust vapor]

somehow I find studying less stressful compared to playing 2042

[untold flower]

im literally playing with vegetables

[robust vapor]

[untold flower]

yeah bc everyone left lmfao

[tacit sphinx]

cool

[untold flower]

it was full lobby i just took the ss too late

[untold flower]

valid

[rotund kite]

bro, the bots play better than any team I've ever been part of

at least they revive

[weak whale]

Defending side and top 1 medic only has 24 revs. no clue why you lost

BT is easy 50-100 revs if you are defending. anything lower is not a medic

[languid magnet]

Is there a reason battlefield 5 seems way more popular than battlefield 2042? (Based on player count)

[remote kiln]

the number

5 > 4

[languid magnet]

ah okay

well sucks my pc cant run 2042

[mental delta]

Where were you when I needed you in my Maths class last semester ?

[mental delta]

BF5 is in reality BFV btw but everyone says 5

[buoyant jolt]

V = 5

[weak whale]

@mental delta did you really call it BF "V" instead of 5? V is just the roman numeral for 5

[calm bison]

Are we having a fuckin nerd emoji moment

[mental delta]

Dude I'm dumb but not that dumb, I ain't a fucking moron to the point I wouldn't know "V" means 5 in roman numerals

But Dice provided the "V" initially stood for "victory"

But people kept saying BF5

So they just went with it

[calm bison]

Fuck I was gonna do the whole ackshually thing

[mental delta]

Bruh I fucking fell for it, I'm indeed the human depiction of this emoji : "🤓"

[torpid wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/nerd-ackchyually-actually-gif-11156171

[weak whale]

indeed you did, and you did good,

[mental delta]

I enlightened you, you fool !

[dapper river]

Actually it is "V" (Vee), no series is stupid enough to go from arabic numerals and suddenly jump to roman numerals for no reason. As such, there has yet to be a "Battlefield 5"

[mental delta]

BF5 IN 2025 CONFIRMED ???

[dapper river]

5/5/2025

Oh AND all the numbered battlefield games have taken place in a "modern" setting (2, 3, 4), meaning that Battlefield 5 will be another modern military shooter

[mental delta]

Bruh that's a fucking scoop dude

I need to contact Tom Henderson

[buoyant jolt]

Isn't battlefield "1" in 1913 or smth ?

[paper sentinel]

is this update anything?

[patent path]

it's something

[white dagger]

I am seeing more weeks with weekly challenges coming up than before the update. Those are normal weekly challenges I can use to collect Battle Pass points right?

[arctic grove]

14-18

[glossy crag]

Dice need improve matchmaking again

Many bots on servers

sry my bad english

[elder palm]

How are you supposed to get the recon beacon I don't understand how to get it

[wooden rock]

You need to play with Casper for one example. Or anyone in the recon clsss

[elder palm]

I don't see it in the collections menu or when I'm playing a game

[elder palm]

They should just make battlefield Spanish civil war, still has the world war II vibes and you can probably reuse some assets smh

[wooden rock]

Should be there. Try again and look for it i think it is on of the D pad Buttons

[elder palm]

It could be a mix between battlefield 1 and V gameplay

not even a new bundle today

[onyx plover]

What do you think is easier to contorl... vertical or horiztonal recoil?

[remote kiln]

vertical, always

[rotund kite]

it's funny how I get a damage assist even tho I still shooting at the guy -_-

[fringe spire]

there's almost no horizontal recoil anyways

[silk surge]

The headgear I just got from the BP looks sick with the T1 outfit

[quaint vector]

Got her same like this..

[stone cradle]

I like the headgear overall but the nose and mouth detail just puts me off

Feels like an edgy 12 year old designed it

[chilly jacinth]

its the wrong red on the mask

[quiet shell]

oh god the undone hair

It’s a very Mad Max look

hi guys i wish have a happy day everyone, i ask something, season 7 is has the exact date been determined? I'm a new player that's why I asked

[remote kiln]

it's march

[still vault]

That's not an exact date

That's a month

[primal flax]

[lone void]

goofy ahh mask

got engineer T1

[buoyant jolt]

Y'all got any cool SVK and/or BSV-M builds?

[grand igloo]

can someone help me? ive been getting errors trying to connect to the bf2042 game for about 2-3 days now

it keeps giving me a error that says unable to connet to the ea servers please check your internet connection make sure the platform client is online and try again

[vital quail]

I keep getting "not signed into playstation network" errors every other match when I'm not signed out or have a bad connection prior to getting the error

[coarse onyx]

Why did they add three more weeks to season six?

[fringe spire]

Because there is some extra time until season 7 drops

It's not ready yet

[zinc phoenix]

Best VH3 setup?

[fringe spire]

Extended standard mag, pref optics, wrapped supressor / reduced vertical comp

Lwg grip or LS1 laser

[obtuse ice]

Breakthrough anyone?

[coarse onyx]

Why hasn't the wiki page been updated to reflect that?

[tacit sphinx]

because it’s a fan run wiki?

who is using the battlefield wiki as their source of news lol

[arctic grove]

Huh strange

I assume I have the launch model but no strange system errors that I can recall at least

[mighty holly]

ikr

[zinc phoenix]

The world’s worst players on today? People are useless on redacted

So why can AA sit in spawn all game are the devs really that thick?

[dapper river]

[normal iris]

is rich presence not working on 2042?

[dire solstice]

i was timed out for 1 week unfairly

💔

[modest ivy]

I just went back playing an hour of BF4
Damn the game really feels dated in some aspects

[remote kiln]

fucking motion balls

[modest ivy]

Played a full round of Siege of Shanghai. So many open spots everywhere.
Nostalgia: 100
Didn't know what I was doing: 100
I'm so used to 2042 lol

[remote kiln]

im surprised you didnt mention the attack helis as the first thing

[modest ivy]

Flying death machines you mean

[remote kiln]

accurate description

[modest ivy]

Anyway, that was a fun nostalgia trip, but it felt awkward to play, not that it's wrong though. I'm just used to 2042's gameplay a lot more 😅

It's way past my bedtime. Nightsies y'all

[vital mauve]

lmk when its season 7

out till then

[remote kiln]

night

[normal owl]

Just started playing and I'm wondering if anyone else's CPU usage is really high on this game

[white geyser]

I wish they add the LAV-AD in BF 2042 if only they add BF4 and the rest of the content in 2042. Just like they add the vault weapons from BF3 and bad company 2 in the main game so why not the vehicles too

[midnight crater]

The vault weapons are still lame imo

Wish they didnt cherry pick which guns got certain attachments

Also add the famas por favor

[white geyser]

More guns, more options to choose whether they add new ones or bring back the old guns

[patent pivot]

china faction when

[next onyx]

They never really cherry picked what to add to the portal guns.

What was added was what could fit onto the gun.

I'm interested to see how portal weapons onwards being constructed on mind.

[zinc phoenix]

@brisk ginkgo

[brisk ginkgo]

what

what man

[weak vector]

how do you get intel ribbons?

[mossy turret]

spots and spot assists

and breaking enemy equipment

oh and disruptions

[weak vector]

thanks

also the BSV-M feels so terrible with the 30 round mag

[next onyx]

It's an SMG practically.

With close combat.

[arctic grove]

Ye

[frozen loom]

You just described the VCAR.

[next onyx]

VCAR is great.

[frozen loom]

I like it.

[normal iris]

anyone know how to enable rich presence for 2042?

my ea is already connected but doesnt display

[weak vector]

what is the name of that shitty map with the cargo ship stuck in the desert?

[torpid wadi]

Stranded?

[weak vector]

yeah fuck that map

specifically for breakthrough

[torpid wadi]

Aye not a fan of that map

[patent pivot]

the fun begins in the cargo ship

thats it

[torpid wadi]

Exactly lol

[patent pivot]

so thats free XP from Blasco

[torpid wadi]

Step outside that ship and you get ass fucked by snipers and tanks

[patent pivot]

simple

[weak vector]

exactly

so fucking horribly designed

[patent pivot]

can we get more CQC maps

[weak vector]

great for intel ribbons though

[torpid wadi]

I want flooded london for gods sake

[patent pivot]

I wanna farm stim pistol and jammer

[weak vector]

I donno what I want anymore

other than I just want to have fun for once

[patent pivot]

bring back carrier assault

[weak vector]

over half of the attachments either feel useless, or they make your gun worse

High Power ammo on most guns feel like they fuck up your TTK and don't offer enough benefits

I don't even use most of the barrel or underbarrel attachments either

and a lot of mag options feel like they just existed...just to be an option, not a viable one

[patent pivot]

say that again to previous BF games

[weak vector]

gladly

[patent pivot]

then what do you want in BF?

[tawny carbon]

Can’t, especially when you can’t swim underwater in 2042. One great thing about BF4 that 2042 don’t have.

[patent pivot]

then make a dry land version?

[tawny carbon]

That’s essentially Breakthrough.

[patent pivot]

no

[tawny carbon]

Yes.

[patent pivot]

one side is assaulting, other is defending their flags

[tawny carbon]

Breakthrough does the same exact thing lol

[patent pivot]

yeah? wheres Mcom

wheres the capture point to fire missile on enemy base

[tawny carbon]

Flags is Mcoms

[weak vector]

I miss destructible environments

there's not enough destruction in 2042 lol

[tawny carbon]

Breakthrough is also essentially operations at the same time. (Without story telling)

[patent pivot]

seriously

I want to assault enemy base and destroy their intels

something out of Battlefront game

[weak vector]

I once saw someone suggest that destruction should "make new cover". So instead of an entire wall disappearing like nothing, it would fall down and you could take cover near the rubble on the sides

[tawny carbon]

Like BF4?

[weak vector]

bf4 didn't really do that too much if I remember

with the exception of levolution

[tawny carbon]

You destroy buildings. When it falls, it still provide some sort of cover

[patent pivot]

whatever

[next onyx]

I would prefer it if building destruction could be influenced.

Say you destroy a wall a certain way the building would crash down and create a new piece.

Imagine a two story house near a road, You destroy the wall facing the road. It would create this roadblock ON the road. But you could destroy it a different way and have collapse it a different way.

[weak vector]

oh that would be nice

[next onyx]

So in way you could create a mission to make sure they blow up a certain way so your tanks can go unimpeded.

Or even.

[weak vector]

too bad dice isn't innovative enough anymore, but that would be really good

[next onyx]

Go "I want to block off this tank from this piece of the road"

[white geyser]

I miss the building falling in BF4 it just feels more destructive

[next onyx]

I mean they try to innovate and what I have in mind sounds like it'll consume too many resources to be worth it.

[tawny carbon]

BF4 destruction 2.0 update when?

[next onyx]

I liked how bf5 dealt with buildings cause you could fix them up.

We lost a bit but gained something different out of it.

[weak vector]

hmmm okay that does make a little bit of sense

they have the resources, though. Huge AAA company with deep pockets...

[next onyx]

Time is one big thing.

Also weather or not it's worth the headache.

And breaking the game.

[white geyser]

If they made a new map for 2042 where you can blow up a building like in BF4 I would be happy

[next onyx]

I suggested to Alex a bf4 style attachment menu a bit ago.

[tawny carbon]

BF4 UI is the best UI, I’ve seen so far.

[next onyx]

And the general thing was that he liked it. But he gave good questions in regards to it.

Which got me thinking.

[weak vector]

What does he do at DICE anyway?

[next onyx]

He used to work on the weapons.

He was a weapon designer.

But also balanced the guns.

Generally super fun guy to be honest.

[weak vector]

that's good to know, especially the good personality

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[remote kiln]

@next onyx just as a test i went and cranked up everything to get the absolute best possible recording, it looks almost indistinguishable from the game itself, (the file size is fucking huge, but thats a given)

[next onyx]

OH like you optimised the fuck out of the file type and recording.

That's super cool.

ALSO I meant to DM you a question about the 4080.

[remote kiln]

yeah max b frames etc, the file size is 1GB in total, insane

yeah what is it

[next onyx]

How would you rank the 4080 in headache scale out of 10.

[remote kiln]

in terms of?

[next onyx]

You know how you moved on from the xtx cause of driver issues and all that.

[remote kiln]

yeah

[next onyx]

Versus that, How much of a headache would this card be.

(Also by the way Ultrawide would be super fucking weird to get into)

Haha

[remote kiln]

ive had 0 issues thus far with the 4080, i dont miss the xtx, recording quality is much, much better and the features arent close to each other

reflex etc is infinitely better than radeon anti lag, didnt do any setup, everything was configured

[next onyx]

What's the recording type that you've been using again

?

[remote kiln]

im using nvenc av1

before it AMF AV1 (radeon)

[next onyx]

Nvidia encoding av1 ah yeah.

[tawny carbon]

Now you can play with good proper ray tracing

[next onyx]

I'm thinking of getting a 4080 S with my tax return.

[remote kiln]

i would advise you do, any lingering issues youve got rn will disappear

there are also some insane features come in the next nvidia driver

[next onyx]

Or generally card yeah.

[remote kiln]

conversions for videos from SDR to HDR on the browser automatically etc, its crazy

[next onyx]

AH I only just have Av1.

You get Nvenc av1 through 40.

[tawny carbon]

The enhance sharpening from control panel is great for Vids and browser as well

[remote kiln]

yeah radeon uses the AMF encoder framework, AV1 encodes through that, the quality isnt close from each other, its pretty sad honestly

[next onyx]

I like AMD cards because they have a good mix of power and that.

Like really.

The only reason why I'm really thinking of a 4080 S is because it's as much as the XTX.

And I'm more familiar with nvidia.

[remote kiln]

it may be worth a look at 4080's rn, they are dropping in price cause of the 4080s, not sure about your region specifically

here they're about 900

[next onyx]

Yeah. I had a look at the prices for them and they're 1750, 100 more than the XTX.

When the prices settle down we'll truly see what happens.

[tawny carbon]

RTX Nvidia cards may be expensive but Quality of features is amazing

[remote kiln]

theres just too many compromises with radeon that its honestly sad how stark the difference is

AV1 encoding isnt even supported on discord for radeon, is nvidia only

[next onyx]

Would you like a shoe PC by the way Deco.

[remote kiln]

sure i can wear it outside

[remote kiln]

[next onyx]

It'll be a very warm shoe.

That's for sure.

[remote kiln]

thats wild they managed to even make that

[next onyx]

FREE GPU

Awooga awooga!!!

Hahaha

[remote kiln]

it was weird being back with nvidia after 3 years initially ill admit

[weak vector]

I hate how the 4090 has gotten more expensive since launch lol

I might hop on nvidia when the 5000 series is out, since AMD disappointed me with the 7900XT / XTX

[remote kiln]

blackwell is 2025 just a fyi

[weak vector]

team red got too greedy with their MSRP

[next onyx]

They didn't really, If anything Nvidia were greedy cause they always overcharge their cards.

[weak vector]

...that is also very, very true lol

[remote kiln]

put it this way

if i could turn back time id have bought the 4080 over the xtx

[next onyx]

But at least with Nvidia you get something decent out of it???

Like they have tonnes of features.

[weak vector]

jeez xtx was that bad?

[remote kiln]

so many needless bs issues

[next onyx]

My friend's XTX would automatically boost itself past its limits and crash his game.

[remote kiln]

idle power draw was broken for months

[weak vector]

I had to settle for last gen, so I have an RX 6800 in my pc at the moment

[remote kiln]

100 watt on idle was normal for mulit monitor for around 5 months, just random crashing from no reason and asinine feature deployments

anti lag+ getting folk banned etc

[tawny carbon]

I wonder how well Blackwell will do compared to the 40 series

[next onyx]

AMD was always your priority because of brand familiarity Deco?

[remote kiln]

price

[next onyx]

I heard the die will be different for the 50 series.

I think monolithic?

[remote kiln]

DP 2.1 support, expect around 20-30%~ on the SKU

[next onyx]

Ah yeah. Pretty much the reason why I would go for it.

[weak vector]

price for me was the reason why I went to AMD, along with EVGA no longer making cards

[tawny carbon]

Nice

[remote kiln]

unless the AMD card is around 15-20% cheaper, i will always tell someone to buy the nvidia alternative

for me, that was the case with the xtx

[next onyx]

Shame too because I was thinking of really going for the XTX cause of the performance uplift over the 3080.

[weak vector]

XTX was like 20% better than the 6900XT but 50% more, which really pissed me off

[remote kiln]

halo product, always going to be a markup

yeah way the answer i suppose is id advise you switch over the 4080s

[tawny carbon]

Nvidia is better as term of QOL and features. The price can be a bitch.

[patent pivot]

Used cards?

[remote kiln]

they can charge their prices because consumer GPU's arent a priority for them anymore

it hasnt been for 3+ years

[next onyx]

Yummy VRAM.

I cannot wait for the 9800x3d though.

[tawny carbon]

Used? Wym

[remote kiln]

nvidia cards compete against themselves, they dont compete against radeon, ironically

[patent pivot]

From somebody else

Not brand new

[latent widget]

I need the RTX 6090. Only a few more years.

[tawny carbon]

That’s personal preference, you do you

[weak vector]

by the time 5000 series are out, I'll most likely get the 4000 series on sale lol

[feral marsh]

Hi , I am new one on this server
Can someone say where I can question about performance

[next onyx]

I was thinking of waiting for a 5080 or a 6070 to be honest.

[patent pivot]

Good luck saving money

[next onyx]

I mean you can ask here Belek.

[remote kiln]

the founders 4080 is also a elequant manufacture of design

[feral marsh]

So issue with ping

[remote kiln]

like it feels great just to hold

[next onyx]

The conversation is literally about hardware.

Oh did you buy the FE edition Deco.

[remote kiln]

yeah i got the founders for 1k

[next onyx]

So in regards to ping you're having issue with it Belek. I'm sure you have downloads paused and that.

What's your ping?

[next onyx]

I just want a purple Nvidia GPU.

Or just a black GPU.

Like lemme dream.

[remote kiln]

i still need to sell this xtx.. annoyingly

[slim marlin]

what is DP 2.1 actually used for

like I googled it

and it seems pointless?

[remote kiln]

bandwidth on monitors

[next onyx]

I'd buy it ironically but I'm on the other side of the fucking world but shipping and conversion would be a bitch LOL.

[slim marlin]

what does that mean

[remote kiln]

there are certain ultrawide configurations that cannot fit DP 1.4 DSC

[next onyx]

It can handle more information at once.

[remote kiln]

and if you want to use them you need DP 2.1

[slim marlin]

ah ok

so like 0.001% of the market

damn that sucks

[remote kiln]

not exactly

some of them are samsung monitors

DP 2.1 monitors will continuously be released from now

[tawny carbon]

DP2.1 is fairly new lol

[slim marlin]

think with ultrawide is most games don't even support it

[remote kiln]

its not just ultrawide

[slim marlin]

esp if you play older games

[remote kiln]

is just an example

[slim marlin]

what, people who need 240hz at 4k or something?

[patent pivot]

Or worse, HUD not scaled to high res

My worst nightmare

[tawny carbon]

WiFi 7 looks good

[latent widget]

Since 1999 Nvidia graphics cards have doubled on average performance every 2 years. I did the math.

[remote kiln]

if you want say 4k 360hz 10 bit, (like certain OLED monitors are coming out with), it will struggle with DP 1.4

[slim marlin]

so top of the market again

[feral marsh]

I have some problems with downloads / oneDrive , but I always put it off before game , it helped me but right now it’s not
Right now every game , my pin always above 100 ping and it can go worse 150-200 in vehicles

[remote kiln]

yes, but thats right now

[slim marlin]

why even include them on mid range cards

[remote kiln]

its new and already exists, it only propogates with time

[remote kiln]

it costs money to remove them from the mid range cards

GPU's are built from the highest SKU (the xtx), and then filtered down

[next onyx]

I feel like what's happening is that you're being put in out of region servers.

Betak.

[slim marlin]

well, I might wait for 6000 series then

[remote kiln]

if you are willing to wait till 2025, then is an option

[next onyx]

But if it's consistent I feel like I cannot answer too well. It could be your own issue with your lines and internet.

[feral marsh]

But we can not choose sever to play

[remote kiln]

they arent coming out before

[next onyx]

Yeah trust me dude.

Lack of a server browser in all out warfare, Outside of portal. Is fucking stupid.

[slim marlin]

IDK if I will even play the next bf, based on how bad this one was (imo)

[next onyx]

That reminds me. You should at least look at ASIA servers in portal.

[slim marlin]

shit, I dont even play 2042 anymore

I play a game from 2011

I could probably go years still

[next onyx]

Yeah current state of gaming is making us go back to emulation and all that.

[slim marlin]

on a 2070 super

[next onyx]

Like dude I want a crazy ass prcoessor just for that.

[feral marsh]

I guess maybe again it was problem with oneDrive , but right I don’t not sure

[slim marlin]

funny enough stalker anomaly with shader mods is more taxing on my gpu than BF2042 was

[next onyx]

I can't wait until Ps4 emulation is ready to be released.

Yeah that'd do it.

[slim marlin]

oh maybe we should go to technology

[latent widget]

Hmm... technology, tech no logy, tech no logos, tech not logical.

This is your daily ted talk humans.

[next onyx]

Oh nah to be honest don't fret too much.

[feral marsh]

Thanks for help

[next onyx]

Of course. I'm not too knowledgable but I hope you can get things working well and find the issue.

[feral marsh]

Thanks

[latent widget]

Me waiting for a nividia graphics card so I can play my 85 inch 144hz 8k quantum dot miniled tv. Note: I need to wait for the tv to exist too.

8k is most likely the limit for gaming and resolution becomes meaningless unless you have a 150 inch and above screen

[tawny carbon]

Console will upscale like they are currently doing with 4k

PCs will most likely image scale to reach 8k res. Till it can run natively. I think the best gaming PC can run 8k games at 60fps. I doubt it can go higher than that.

[latent widget]

WE need displayport 2.1

Also a.i. upscaling will easily in a few years render 8k images better than native and the cpu will eventually not matter.

[remote kiln]

ehh

quite a stretch lol

[latent widget]

The stretch is we aleady live in the singularity, future has changed past, thus a new present and we live in a new now.

You weren't even consciously aware of it.

Silly humans.

As I said I did the math on the average performance boost for every nvidia graphics card since 1999 and it has been doubled every 2 years the specific number is around 2.3 times every 2 years just add a.i. upscaling to that and it increases even more.

Games will eventually be actual simulations.

[tawny carbon]

RTX 9090 with AI

[proven lark]

Does this game not have a lean system?

[limber orbit]

No this ain't siege

[proven lark]

Well I meant like cover leaning like battlefield 5

[granite island]

D1 on orbital is hell

28 people on a small objective

[arctic grove]

We’ve had leaning in every other battlefield game in some form or another tho

[arctic grove]

Unfortunately not

[limber orbit]

Eh leaning never had any impact

[next onyx]

It did.

In bf5 it was at its most powerful.

It was fucking obnoxious to deal with.

[limber orbit]

Never had a problem with it

Might've been different on the oce servers

[next onyx]

I was one of the more harder abusers of it.

Yeah cause comp was becoming more prevelant.

[limber orbit]

Doesn't surprise me

[tulip lance]

guys why nobody is using mic in this game?

[limber orbit]

Why would they?

[tulip lance]

maybe insulting others or ask for res

[limber orbit]

Nothing but mouthbreathers and mic spammers lol

[arctic grove]

Yes it did

It was especially good for being able to shoot at enemies without having to expose your entire upper body or 1/2 of your torso

It should come back

[buoyant jolt]

BSV-M build, I seen some people shredding with this thing, wonder how, imo it's pretty shit.

[arctic grove]

What battlefield game is most popular and best overall rn?

I am thinking V? Or is it 2042? I have game pass and want to play on the most active but completed game

[buoyant jolt]

BFV then BF2042 then BF1

BFV has around 2.5x the players of BF2042

But 2042 is good imo.

[arctic grove]

Gotcha

[pine roost]

It’s alright. All in all each battlefield title differs so much that the playerbase can spread itself across them fairly well

[arctic grove]

Fair enough

I will play BF5 then

[tawny carbon]

This is very true

[pine roost]

something like cod releasing every year, with minimal changes to each title just means the game before gets fizzled out real quick. bf games often stay active for a really long time cause they don't do that

which also has me wondering what the next game will be like

[lone void]

Better, hopefully

[pine roost]

since there are still things in 2042 I like, and them trying a 'reimagining' has me seriously concerned

[lone void]

Allegedly it's going to have "the best destruction in the world ever" or something

[pine roost]

nobody should believe a word

they said the same thing about 2042

they said bfv was going to be 'the most immersive world war 2 shooter to date'

the whole point of those calls is to get investors to buy into the product

[azure zenith]

2042 is not a normal BF game. If you get pass that it's pretty good. BFV is more BF like style. But make sure you got some good VPN security. I'm told the rage hackers are awful over there. Either way both are fun in their own ways.

[tawny carbon]

It’s still a battlefield game. It’s the core of the game. With different mechanics and gameplay.

[pine roost]

that raises another question - 'what is battlefield?'
people constantly discuss games that meet the quota and ones that don't, but it's almost impossible to define as everyone's views are different

[remote kiln]

it's a game

question answered

[azure zenith]

Lol 😂

[pine roost]

a game with battlefield in it's title. nuff said

[chilly jacinth]

if i dont like the game

it aint battlefield

simple as

[tawny carbon]

Personal preference

[lone void]

Personal preference usually gets narrowed down to "I'm the spoilt child that screams the loudest and because I don't like this game because it didn't meet my made up expectations it's bad"

[tawny carbon]

Sorry I meant to say, personal opinion

[lone void]

Like I swear some people gaslight themselves into saying a game is bad

[fickle wharf]

truly a game of all time

[tawny carbon]

Personally, I enjoy 2042 since day 1. I don’t understand why it gets so much hate. Yea the content and updates is slow. But I enjoy the modern aspect with futuristic tech and the specialist. While keep what battlefield core is.

[azure zenith]

I'm just saying i was bummed that 2042 was nothing like BF4 or BF3. But then again those 2 are arguably the best BF games. 2042 after season 3 just felt like early COD multiplayer like BO2 but with objectives and no zombies. I hated it. Then I realized every FPS game out was even worse. Until the finals came came out. Lol 😂

[pine roost]

depends entierly on who you ask

like for me, the absymal mouse input and performance was enough for me to put it down for half a year

but to others they find the 'clone wars' stuff to be the real killer

[lone void]

The game has always had the shits and giggles core gameplay loop that battlefield is

[tawny carbon]

Everyone have their own opinions. I’m not disliking them. We all see and view games differently.

[buoyant jolt]

Are VPNs allowed in BF2042?

[azure zenith]

I use nord vpn. Lol

[tawny carbon]

I had a rough time with it. At the same time, I barely noticed it. I remember. I was like wtf do you mean. I need any issues with it. As other people having issues with MnK input on 2042. Other times I saw the issue. Idk 🤷‍♂️

[buoyant jolt]

"clone wars stuff" being what? The railtank?

[lone void]

As a console peasant, I can say I can not relate at all and I've just had fun for the most part

[lone void]

Specialists all being the same people

[tawny carbon]

I’m glad they fixed it. But I’m more excited when they allowed the game to be more responsive with high DPI. Made MnK experience so much better and smooth for me. Before some times it will skip or not respond at all. Since I play on 3200 dpi.

[lone void]

Which is a Non issue imo because literally every player model used to be identical per class and team before V

Yes you can make the argument for uniforms etc whatever but the tags fixed that buy n large

[buoyant jolt]

ah

[pine roost]

yeah that's why I didn't get the argument. Some people really want that authenticity of faction vs faction, but I don't really care

[azure zenith]

I haven't been on MnK long enough to know the bad times on the input lag when 2042 came out. Lol

[buoyant jolt]

Idk if it's just me but I feel like there's latency in bf2042, I find myself dying behind walls quite a lot.

[tawny carbon]

The problems was in Y1. It’s pretty much fixed now.

[pine roost]

that being said, it did pose a gameplay related issue before they added the ff lights, which is a fair criticism

[pine roost]

well the game would often misread or ignore mouse movement updates, so it felt like you were dragging it rather than controlling it. It was only around the zain season where things started to feel alright

[azure zenith]

I was having major ping issues after update 6.2 on both Console and PC like 150ms+. But it's been pretty decent this last week 60-80ms.

[remote kiln]

technically no, but you can use them

[tawny carbon]

ff light?

[tacit sphinx]

the lights were present in the beta if i remember correctly

[pine roost]

forgot the term they used, but they just added more of them to enemies to make them easy to differentiate

was something like IFF? was a while ago now

[buoyant jolt]

My ping has been fine, but I feel like it's the games' latency rather than ping, akin to cs2's subtick issues.

[tacit sphinx]

green/blue/red glowies on players to show squadmate/teammate/enemy

[tawny carbon]

O that. On the uniform.

[pine roost]

but now everyone wears skins anyway so it doesn't really matter

[tawny carbon]

I forgot the term was used for it. So I was confused lol

[azure zenith]

True, but controller does get alot of dev support while mnk is kinda neglected. But that's most FPS games. Lol 😂

[tawny carbon]

Look at cod lol 😂
