so you can start it over steam
that's dumb af
why can't i keep all on steam
Why don't you buy it on Steam?
because Stores/Publisher want you to use their launcher and buy it
It costs 2€ more, that's 4 cups of coffee
Thats a shame. Steam is superior
ohh
italian coffee
2€ for one coffee? where?
Can you get a underbarrel grenade launcher for the a-91 ?
Still though, like unless you find yourself in a convenience store where the biggest cup you get is a shot glass (not literally) then I can see it being 2 for 4 lmao
You cannot
The vault attachments are inconsistent. M16 gets STNR and a shit ton of underbarrel options but then the ACWR is basically like
flashlight, cobra, laser, STNR.
that's the real coffee. what you buy is water

I dont drink coffee
?
I drink Tea
And whats the difference actually? Is your coffee like a Monster drinks worth of caffeine? Lmao
Also A91 gets some shitty under attachment options, all you really need is a laser sight on it.
i think i'll buy it on EA, but every time i switch computer i have to add it back...............................
AEK has a underbarrel option, I forgot what type it is. Probably Smoke.
MTAR gets a LWG grip at least :^)
If you buy it on steam you don't have to do it, only if you add it as "Non-Steam Game"
why cant games precombile shaders nowadays
i love stuttering like fucking crazy after reinstalling the game
because shaders get compiled differently depending on GPU
they do.. lol
that too
this game definitely doesn’t
you must not understand variable rate shading
explain why every time i i install this game it stutters like crazy for the first day
then goes back to being smooth
because that's its.. precompiling shaders when you enter a match
what part do you not understand
on loading screens the "loading" text at the bottom turns into "precompiling shaders" and a progress bar
are you slow? i said the game doesn’t precombile shaders meaning before the game starts
obviously not in game
do you not want to play a game for 10 minutes on install?
because that's the alternative option
and it's also why cod is shit for it lol
every single minor update needs you to reboot the game
still bigger than bf even tho i dont play cod
and this relates to 2042 how exactly
because i asked a question related to the game
you didn't ask a question, you just don't understand shaders lol
the biggest complaint is why cant bf2042 fuckin work properly ever. cant even play breakthrough chaos 
it's the new driver. not shaders
I stutter like a maniac
Can't load into Breakthrough Chaos as well.. 
try breaking through the chaos
Try Chaos breaking through
that's what happens (this chat gets active)

why dice do dis
no you are being deliberately dumb and trying to act smart

whaat part of “precombiling shaders before a game” is wrong
it's not DICE it's AMD
you don't understand shaders, because it does precompile them before a game starts, no "entire map shaders" is ever cached ingame


maybe some sure but not all of them
tell me your explanation of why the game stutters after first install then
i asked you that question 2 times and you haven’t answered

because as DICE themselves have made clear they use variable rate shading, so you can actually play the game because the maps are that big shaders are loaded in at partial chunks, and because you keep deleting the game you keep wiping whatever shaders were already cached lol
simple fix, don't uninstall the game
I had been clearing the cache for "performance" and only got black screens in return
that is literally same as not precombiling shaders into the cashe after installation
Leave the shaders alone so it doesn't have to keep reloading them
you just worded it differently
no it's not, what are you talking about
you don't make any sense and don't know what you're trying to talk about lol
When deco said no then it’s no
imo just do a 1v1 in battlefield for the winner
No
who is you
Im you
you pre combile the shaders into the cashe so the game runs smooth from the start, simple.
it's not shaders!!!!!! IT's amd drivers
and nvidia drivers
your problem is they don't the cache entire game? do you want 20gb shader files in your documents?

so cod is magic?

Cod has 250gb for weapons camo
unless you want shaders the same size as the game itself you can't in this
no..
they also use VRR in cod
and it takes 20 minutes to preload shaders every time there's a patch
derelict ass engine
just play minecraft for xray shaders icl
lol
fun gameplay mode idea: Rams-time (a play on rammstein) where its EBLC-Ram's only. like 32v32. that would be a blast

We're aware that some of you may have been unable to join Breakthrough Chaos on #Battlefield2042 for a short time.
The team has now resolved this issue via a backend change.
This may take a moment to propagate across all servers.
Thanks for raising the issue with us!
That's a good thing
They made it so my 1030 is no longer supported... Shame, I loved being able to see through walls. (I no longer have a 1030 lol) 🙂
The chat, the forum, social media and all the other places 

It's oddly comforting to know that... It means at least someone sees when people complain about issues in the game.
Not that there's that many these days 🙂
Breakthrough Chaos still doesn't work.. 
skill issue
lol
No rgb issues
What’s the best sniper n scope combo ?
a sniper and scope
Wish they’d stalk me
CAN THEY EMAIL AMD TO FIX THE DRIVERS

Any reason why i can't launch bf2042 from steam??
i did it. still no driver update
Silly driver people. Not being able to poop out a driver after 5 minutes
is the newest one borked or something
broken hard
yes, for radeon
then why arent people just rolling it back to an older one
because thats common sense, and that doesnt apply to a lot of people
Did BF2042 became so boring those last weeks that we're reduced to be talking radeon stuff rn ? 
What’s up with breakthrough chaos? Can’t play it for some reason it keeps booting me out mid loading
They say it’s fixed but clearly not 😅
They say the fix is being propagated, perhaps it's still propagating
This new dozer tdm is actually kinda fun lol.
Dat gud
Didn't say otherwise, but game is just boring as hell those last 3-4 weeks as there's nothing new
thanks, now I know that it is a general thing and not me lol. I should check that channel more often lmao
How long does it take to load into a game? SMH
usually not long. 5-10 seconds? Haven't counted lol
few seconds lol
I been at the sane screen for a few mins
do you have crossplay off
Oh i should turn it off
no it should be on
LMAOOOOO
It's because only Conquest is worth playing
enjoy only playing with AI lol
I wonder how long the EU servers take to get the backend fix lol
it's already live
can confirm
it's not per server lol
wel I got kicked out from a few, this one works now and the article said it takes time to propagate
nah, deployments for the game apply at once, they aren't deployed to one server then spread to the rest
yo any reason why i can't launch my bf2042 from steam?
you need to pour more water so it turns into steam
Is there a Way to chat with team mates that’s not your friends in game?
VC or text chat 
Yes, you need to have voice chat on. Most people don't use it unless they're in a party.
k
Breakthough Chaos is still not working for me...
Is the am40 any good
its good, viable close to mid range
every gun is good in their own way
use whatever you are used to
AM40 is basically an SMG as an AR
I swear to God bf2042 is the ONLY game that completely crashes my graphics card when I tab out of the game
What card?
3060
lol
Odd. Its a constant issue, or intermittent?
Event viewer shows any useful errors?
nope
not any that ive noticed
it just tells me it crashed my card i never screen capped the error message or anything
Is it a DX error, or some other error?
im not sure, I think DX error, I'll have to check when it randomly crashes again
Does the weekly bonus mission not work for anyone else?
How can i find server with people ? Not custom map 800% dmg or xp, i just want to play normal one or TDM but can’t server
anyone being sent back to menu when starting breakthrough chaos?
yes 

I was so happy when I saw that I was finally able to join Breakthrough Chaos.... To only find out that it joined me into normal Breakthrough...
Naaah, that stupid Breakthrouh Chaos just doesn't work...
Eighter fix it or remove it cuz that is... kinda annoying

So was breakthrough chaos actually bugged
Every server earlier was half full and had many AI
I can't even join any BT Chaos Server... 
Is anyone playing Conquest of Ages having issues entering the soflam on BF3 maps?
okay so it's not just me that's having troubles with BT chaos, I see
ooh I see in the communications:
"The team has now resolved this issue via a backend change.
This may take a moment to propagate across all servers."
Looks like the resolution is taking its damn sweet time lol
VHX nerf, and still beaming people mid to far range xD
the nerf is better now but still can beam, not as much as before
like i said, this weapon overall is a meh gun.
i feel the dmg nerf abit more ngl
bt chaos is just wonderful for defenders and yet the game never makes me a defender
I must ask a VERY stupid question: are there are any non-2042 guns that are really good compared to the 2042 guns?
for example, is the M416 good compared to the more meta 2042 guns
they are ok
I see. Makes sense so people use the newer stuff, but also kinda a shame as well
i wish the weapons got a remastered ngl for portal. set of being "imported"
what's your personal favorite gun in 2042?
AC42, VCAR, XCE BAR, K30, AVANCY's
you like the AC42?! how do you even use that thing
its a burst, aim for heads
1-2 maybe 3 burst if all heads, depending on range, close range can 1 burst
hmm maybe the burst delay is just too much for me
I agree with everything but the XCE BAR.

wow okay so my 90% loss ratio continues
I lose the overwhelming majority of my matches again and the game's now become unenjoyable for the rest of the night
my fav sniper so far, i wish it was faster ads and rpm tho
still love the weapon as a whole
I donno what I like so far
g428 is probably the only gun in the game other than the scar-h
it was good Y1, after it got nerfed it became meh
VCAR goofy
I like the VCAR.
VCAR is the best
It's the embodiment of controlled chaos.
most DMRs in this game are trash

i wish they make the fucking legendary skin already, fuck dice
It's halfway between a SMG and DMR.
its a close to mid range dmr
It's basically a single-fire SMG with the accuracy of a DMR.
ye
oh I am using it now and it feels weird
2 mins of gameplay and already I question its design
The VCAR can outperform SMGs if you have movement tech.
and you're not trolling me by saying that are ya? lol
its small for mobility and faster rof
hmmmmmmmmm
It's not trolling. It's one of the best guns.
It can take on medium-range opponents too.
Drum mag.
Red dot sight.
Uh. I forget the rest.
its lowkey, under rated but one of the best underrated weapons
It does well with thermal sights too.
so far I'm trying it in cqb and it's bad
Maybe you're bad at shooting. You need the attachments.
i use bcg grip ad tac comp. that me tho for every weapon i use for max acc
I think most guns suck without the fusion holo.
positioning, and land your shots, preferably headshots. with some movement for autos especially
basically
if i had scar's legendary silver fusion holo on every weapon. i will never touch another sight again
play with bots to level the weapon up
these iron sights are so obstructive you might as well remove them completely
Most times I main the VCAR. It's so much better than any of the ARs.
For longer range, I rock the BSV-M.
AC42 tops VCAR
I like that too.
For me, it's BSV-M > VCAR > AC42 > K30 > SWS-10 > all others.
to unlock attachments and a headstart on the T1 grind for weapons
weapons in this game feel like they need a complete overhaul
I started this game by farming attachments for all my guns before I got serious in multiplayer.
Took me a month and a half.
I've never really enjoyed any gun in this game except for the G428
every other gun felt like it was balanced in 5 mins by a high school dropout
i started out multiplayer and for some weapons i use bots to save time
Did you unlock more attachments on the G428 than any other gun then? That's the reason you'd like it more than other guns.
I unlocked pretty much everything on the G428, but I use less than 90% of the attachments. They're so useless
All I use is the optics
attachments in this game have no meaningful impact
except maybe the drum mag, and obviously, the optics
the underbarrel stuff doesn't help much, the muzzles can be deleted from the game and no one would notice, and the ammo type does not matter either
in fact, most of the time when I use high-power, it adds too much TTK
I suggest you farm attachments for all guns to see what you truly like.
Most base guns are terrible.

And they shine when you get 90% of their attachments.
facts
well, then why do I not need them with my G428?
I can just roll with one item and call it a day
Because the G428 performs the same across the board even with attachments which isn't always a good thing.
You will get outperformed by others with all their attachments with other guns if you rely on one gun all the time.
I guess you make a point, it's just that most guns don't feel enjoyable to use
except avancys. I like that and I don't know why
I plan on trying shotguns next because they seem like they would make an entire team mad
I just don't know which one is good
so that would give me the highest success of steamrolling them?
No, because Dozer could only compete in close-range combat with that setup.
ngl, i only run dozer due to his exlpo resist. and trying to get him T1 since they buff it to 10-15m set of only with shield to get kills
oof
honest to God tanks are bullshit sometimes
Get their attention and then see them try to shoot my feet across the map.
i run flack or angel with snipers alot ngl
you literally shoot a fucking high explosive tank shell directly at someones feet and they just survive
makes absolutely zero sense
thats very normal in video games bud
that's because engineers got nerfed way too hard
thats not how normal games would do it
if a 120mm HE tank shell got near you IRL you would just fucking explode
but battlefield? 70% hp and hes gonna hit you witha rocket
literally unexplainable
games isnt realistic, its a arcade game with realistic elements
wut
TFW it's not like Squad 😔
battlefield is supposed to be more realistic than other FPS, that was the point. Thats why they have vehicles, and thats also a stupid argument.
If its not realistic then why dont the tank have wings? like an angel?
yes but its still an arcade shooter lol
maybe it should shoot giant dildos instead of bullets
its just a game its not realisticx
you have to remember that battlefield 10 years ago isn't battlefield today
we're no longer the target audience
thats part of the problem unfortunately
the target audience are teens with rich parents who dump $500 on MTX skins
bf3/bf4 were cool as fuck
2042 development is terrible due to the leadership
I agree! I wish leadership had a higher risk of getting fired with no golden parachute for these kinds of mishaps
Do you think vehicles should have unlimited ammo like this game and bf3/4?
2042 is a great game. not the best of the best
if this game did was bf4/bf3 did then yes i absolutely agree.
the tanks having TOW secondaries was cool as fuck
But is that realistic?
i think theres a level of realism that needs to exist, unlimited ammo isnt realistic, but neither is shooting a human with a tank shell
oh wow the game gave me a 48 player breakthrough in BT Chaos. Such a good job /s
you can keep the tanks at 5 bullets that eventually come back, sure. doesnt need to be infinite
I think 2042 is an okay game. Not great but it's not 1.0 levels of bad
i still dislike the development due to how they treated their devs for not letting them use their freedom for ideas for the game. stricting devs is a bad move
I would much rather have the bfv vehicle ammo system of going to a resupply point
When I T1 the GEW-46, I have it in good faith that I will never touch it again.
thats fine as long as the god damn tank shells actually kill people
absolutely zero fuckin arguments why that shouldnt just outright blow you to shitterines
oh now I am curious. What ideas were shot down?
Honestly in all my experience the HE has more than enough splash range but the mpat has virtually none
there's almost no immersion with the lore, sadly
idk, they just wanted to make the game to drop it.
lore is key to games xD
What do you mean? Isn’t the intro voice talking about finding Oz (whoever tf that is) before a match on flashpoint immersive enough
if you want lore, make a campaign mode
halo has entered the chat
lore is in most games
halo is good xD
which 2042 doesnt have
2042 have lore
and its pointless
since day one
what I hate is how we don't have decent map balance in 2042
everything either feels like it steamrolls you, or you steamroll them
so its pointless
cod have lore in their multiplayer
I also just suffered another loss
in the campaign
seasons
I wonder if anyone in this server has a worse W/L ratio than me. Probably not
lore is supposed to have an impact or be interactable
if you NEVER found out about the 2042 lore it wouldnt change anything about the experience
sometimes I can't enjoy a game unless I'm winning 😦
lore isnt always that, lore keeps the story going as the devs make content
the game cant suck ass and you have time devoted to anything else, thats why games die
thats video games 101
you can make all the characters trans, have deep meaningful backstories, have lore, etc etc, if the game is dogshit and nobody plays it, it doesnt matter
1042/1200 on the GEW-46
sadly it's so hard to make lore immersive in this game
Battlefield 2042 reveal and story line is a continuation of Battlefield 4's story! Full breakdown and explanation of the battlefield 2042 storyline. How The BATTLEFIELD 2042 Story Connects To BATTLEFIELD 4! (BATTLEFIELD 2042 STORYLINE EXPLAINED)

Battlefield 2042 Story Lore & Explanation ...
If I see an enemy Falck on the team, I don't feel like no-pats, I feel like I'm fighting my evil twin brother/sister
if curious, can always watch the lore of 2042
bruh, battlebit remastered is doing worse than 2042
thats steam only, not including xbox/PS/EA
even less people are playing that game, and the devs there wiped out their potential
im saying games like final fantasy 14, or any final fantasy game, lore is PIVITAL to the gameplay. it literally matters. its a MASSIVE part of the game
why do people bring up SteamDB and say its doing good or bad due to STeam only numbers.
ayyy FFXIV enjoyer
if 2042 had ZERO lore it would change nothing
lore literally affects gameplay in ff14
sadly it's the only thing they can go off, because EA doesn't do in-game player counts on anywhere official
story evolves with lore
did you mean to reply to Neo and not me for that one? lol
youre missing what im saying
fps games are about kill them more than they kill you
lore doesnt need to exist
thats as simple as checkers
lore in fps games is the best
there was lore in Bad Company 2 and it was GOOD
my point, if they want to add lore, either MAKE A CAMPAIGN, or FIX THE GAME first
if your game sucks you should devote 100% of your resources to making it better
sadly. but it dosent mean anything tbh at the end of the day. since it only relies on Steam only itself
hey tell that to the greedy dumb execs in this company who are making 7-8 figures lol
i understand, fuck the execs
like
okay
heres an example
i googled sundance to see how to get her nades to work, turns out my game was fucked up and I couldnt use them
literally couldnt find anything on it
but i found out sundance is nonbinary
fucking why
why does that exist? THE GAME SUCKS
i literally couldnt use irish for 2 whole seasons cause my APS bugged out
and i just couldnt use it
i reinstalled my game and everything
why the fuck
does this game have lore with bullshit like that
its made by fucking DICE
THE SAME PEOPLE WHO MADE 3 AND 4
I am getting deja vu here
3/4 devs didnt made 2042
its just unacceptable. Work the team to death to impliment stupid objects like lore that nobody cares about when the game barely works
I STILL CANT PLAY BREAKTHROUGH CHAOS
ITS BEEN 24 HOURS
the team has already kinda been crunched to death though
i dont buy it
i understand that when people tell me "i am being worked to death" i feel inclined to believe them
but it cant be the immediate and undisputed fallback to a shit game
yes but a dev isn't going to take time out of their day to tell you in here or a DM
I'm mad too bro I get your anger
maybe the devs ARE to blame
maybe they arent overworked
maybe theyre fucking incompitent
devs always get blamed for everything, they make and work with the game.
especially coming from american developers i just dont believe it
yeah, even I blame them sometimes and I shouldn't even do that
those mfs should work in japan
i vote for NEO to be a dev and work for dice
where they DO work you to death
my dude, you don't want that
again you gotta direct that anger to the execs who are using the devs as a scapegoat

DICE needs an entire management shuffle
thats what im sayin', nobody should have to go through it, but an american dev acting like theyre overworked just screams priviledge idk
not really, speaking as someone who works in an American company working nearly 55 hrs a week
very funny i cant spell rn okay sue me

leadership should always get the blame. its their boss for the dves. not the devs themselves
for any game in the world
I work almost as long as your average Korean or Japanese salaryman here
i understand, im all for blaming the boss of the boss of the boss
whoever
its clearly someone higher up
they're just doing what the specs are given
if a dev says "hey boss I'm not building feature x, the players won't like it", he gets fired and replaced by someone else in 2 seconds
then the new guy will build the hated feature
well the actors go on strike, why dont developers
and actors are fucking worthless
I wish devs could form a union
NEO, send EA CEO a red letter with red ink and have penguins on the envelope and on the paper of want you want from DICE 
i would never talk to the CEO of EA
lame
I would
so its not an issue then
why do you play their games then?
someone should make a battlefield clone, like what palworld did to pokemon, and show EA how it's done
i loved battlefield 3 and 4, if they had servers with more than 200 people on them, id play it

they did that was battlebit and look where its at 
if you dont like their games, play something else 
Battlefront 3 plz dice
I do like SOME of their games, but the company sucks
in 10 years
if there was a battlefield alternative with an active playerbase I'd play that, I already said that 
take over EA's CEO position then
okay will do thanks
squad
no prob
Battlebit?
i didn’t really like battlebit the proximity chat carried it hard
you can toggle it off kek
i liked it tho
seeing loooots of negative reviews for it
but the game felt like i was playing roblox
prox chat is best thing in games ngl
also bring back no game filter
let me cuss god dammit, they cuss in game why cant I
wym? no game filter
welp, society changes everything, blame society for changing alot of things
I liked that game at first and now I dislike it
i dont think society as a whole creator the filter
dice is not beholden to society for a swear filter lol
today in gaming society is different than the past. society changes
generation changes
I'm doing the in-game survey for bf 2042 and one multiple choice answer makes me feel called out LOL
dude other games dont have a forced swear filter, whats the reasoning behind that? are they not beholden to society also?
It exists since bf5, it used to be way worse in bf5 beta
people cant take a very small grain of salt anymore. and blame everything on devs. yell at pixels and, ones and zeros on the screen to make them feel better about themselves
remember how I said earlier that we're no longer the target audience? who do you think doesn't want swears...? kids with parent credit card money...
bro on god if you cant handle cuss words in a game where you fucking shoot people you need to get off the internet
actually brain dead
sorry but little Jimmy wants to spend $100 today and if you hurt his feelings, we won't get our bonus :((((((((
same way people cant handle cuss words, is the same way devs get all the hate.
you literally slit peoples throats and shoot missiles at them but BAD WORDS ARE NO NO
fucking what?
people change everything, even if you like it or not.
and im arguing they should change it back
but what if I happy swear though
not all change is good
like "wow that was a fucking awesome game"
TRUE
the fucking characters cuss
IN GAME
its literally written in text on the loading screens
based
welp nowadays, devs cant even use cuss words in AAA games.

its non kid friendly. or its inappropriate behavior
you are literally shooting a gun and killing people
Is battlefield supposed to be kids friendly?
that reminds me of a death scene in a game I just played, and her blood was blue LOL
even in The Finals, its all cartooney but you are still shooting bullets and killing people
some regions cant use red blood in games
How did we go from bf3 to what we have in bf2042?
wym dead
Yep, it was a game in China so the CCP cannot have that. It just made the death have less impact on me
this. this is part of the problem
Everyone evacuated the premises.
More alive than BF2042
Remember in battlefield 3 when you got shot your character brderline had an anxiety attack and started swearing up a storm?
Less alive than everything else.
it has 24k players though
now sundance just yells WERE BETTER TOGETHER., WE CAN DO BETTER. WE'RE STRONGER TOGETHER AS A TEAM
the fuck is that cringe
You're comparing a game that came out in 2019 to a game that came out in 2024.
facts
The finals dev should make battlefield under a different name. Hideo Kojima is now back into action stealth because fans always asked him to make metal gear
hey whenever i load into a match with cpus i keep getting disconnected in the middle of my game, why is this happening??😭
It's dead for a game that is a month old.
Battlefield needs more gore. Hell with the kids. 
based
i wanna blow peoples fucking limbs off
old generation is not the new generation. shit changes dramatically overtime
type shit
when my guy gets shot i want my guy to fucking scream
OH GOD IM FUCKING SHOT HOLY FUCK AHH
thats what made battlefield, battlefield
"Well well well, that was fun",
"i am not overconfident, i am just Better than everyone else".
After butchering the other team, losing your comrades.
how did we come to this?
battlefield is known for vehicles and big battles as a fps shooter. not for the cursing
This is not apex legends
its not KNOWN for it, but thats part of the package
idk if you were there man
when cod 4 came out
mw2
and then bf3 hit
it was totally fucking different
it felt like WAR
Bf3 had strong language
i been playing battlefield since BF:MC2
its always been known for big battles with vehicles
dude we used to fight with cod players
The tone kinda went down in bf5. But went completely down in bf2042
fucking chaos, explosions, vehicles, meat grinders
it felt like REAL WAR
or at least a uhh
roamticised version of it
fuck
romanticized-
i give up
fuck it
cod is just a faster paced fps game. more faster and smaller than bf
cod is a tasty fish
Cod is about competitive shooter, which is also controversial
explicit language never been the difference. cod had explicit language also
new generation for both, dont or barely use it/have it as much
old gen is far different compared to new gen of gaming industry
but the old gen was the young gen back then
they had no reason to change
anything
nobody asked for it
zero people asked for a filter
for 3294839248 classes
Levelution was BASED why not keep it
BF3 had "gonna tear him a new asshole"
bf3 dialogues were the shit
Is that plushie easter egg still up?
@tawny carbon Fixed you up.
thnx

Play Palworld with that.
Guy playing Forza Horizon
But 2042

basically, government and laws across the world, for the gaming industry changed over time and basically is against explicit language. cuss words, racism and more. make its more of a friendly environment. especially since they know under age teen rating plays these games anyways. with or without their parent permissions.
what law is forcing them, in the united states, to have a profanity filter
thats the big change. yea it sucks but at the same time alot of people is with the changes
i said what law
im asking
thats not possible, there is no law stating that video games, based and created in america have a profanity filter
Esrb rating
^ ye literally any age rating system
It's a crime not to have one of these age rating organizations rate your game if you want to sell in most places
pretty sure online multiplayer games dont have an esrb rating
"The display of rating information on physical games is far more difficult to modify after a game ships. As a result, our enforcement system includes sanctions and fines (up to $1 million) that may be imposed on publishers who don’t fully disclose content to us during the rating process."
Can esrb actually fine publisher?
yes, and that is a worldwide thing/change
You a game developer?
You lose a sizeable portion of your playerbase
no you dont lmao
Esrb is not a government agency, but in Japan, South korea rating boards are actual government agencies, they have the authority to fine for not following the rating guidelines
Enough that it makes financial sense to have a filter to avoid that
the amount of kids who buy rated M games
fucking most kids play gta 5
thats not true at all
a filter is literally a choice
it affects zero sales
I never said kids don't play M rated games
if it affected sales they would use it as part of the advertisement
I said more will if it's rated teens not M
ESRB ratings always get updated as time goes on, old M rating games isnt the same as now M rated games
esrb rating is for government complience so they dont get sued, it doesnt affect your sales
Do you not understand the difference between more of something?
Bf2042 is rated M17 on esrb. How is the game's voice lines are so soft
Bruh i dont even understand what your point is
Getting sued doesn't affect your sales
I hope you're trolling
youre not understanding what im saying
THEY CHOSE TO MAKE IT M17
THEY CAN CHOOSE NOT TO
Battlefield 3 - Mature 17+ - This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of a U.S. Marine soldier who is on trial for treason.****
Boggles the mind
ESRB rating also happens before the game drops as well.
No us law that says games have to be rated by esrb. But Xbox requires games to be rated and the game can't be adult only rated
So?
whats your point omfg
Destiny 2 was M rating, now a teen rating later on while the game is still live
Did BF3 came out the same year as BF2042?
Because the devs just have to send videos and fill out a long questionnaire
the esrb rating system hasnt changed at all since then, prove it to me
My point is you have negative IQ please invest in a brain
its literally the same rating
nice insult dumbass instead of arguing the points based
It actually changes all the time. You are clueless.
It did change in the 90s, thanks to mortal Kombat
It's not a law you imbecile
its a whole process, also can take a hot min before they get a response as well
prove to me that the esrb rating system changed so heavily due to LAW CHANGES that they were FORCED to make a filter
prove to me right now
or stfu
its your point not mine
then how do you know
dumbass
if you cant even google it
I googled it
okay and
Apparently you're not smart enough to Google words
okay prove it
Assassin's Creed mirage originally rated adult only due to gambling, later they changed it to mature
asking me to prove a negative
Smh these kids are dumb
the esrb rating has no place on a fucking profanity filter
"Titles rated AO (Adults Only) have content that should only be played by persons 18 years and older. Titles in this category may include prolonged scenes of intense violence and/or graphic sexual content and nudity. Microsoft does not support AO titles."
AO rated games aren't allowed on xbox
Timeline and history of the ESRB, including it's foundation, notable updates to the rating system, and more.
its crazy how i used google and found the ESRB history.
It's up to individual platforms to decide whether to require ratings or not. There is no us law that says games have to be rated by esrb
In Japan and south Korea. the law requires games, movies to be rated by their ratings boards
you can always read it
you fucking said they made a physical law that forced bf2042 to have a profanity filter
i want that law
you said that shit prove it
then you said esrb rating
i said you can change the rating
the law im talking about is ESRB.
Esrb's parent organization ESA also hosts E3, which is dead
its very different before compared to now
a massive year difference
THATS NOT AN ANSWER LOL WTF
shit changes
thats literally a non answer
NEO, look it up. its not hard to use google
bruh its YOUR argument
YOU prove it
if its real you should be able to prove it
otherwise thats just your headcanon
you argue why 2042 didnt have cuss words in the first place
you literally just made it up
Watch the full documentary
It's rated M, why it shouldn't have those?
If it was rated teen, then there would be an argument
idk, im not a dev
Move on from this conversation, you won't find an answer
naw you right
when did i say i knew the reason why. internet is very easy to use to find your answer
Why are you all talking politics here?
ask the CEO, devs and their leadership why their game dont have cuss words
Just move on, it never happened
you right
It's just the current state of gaming. The other AAA games are enforcing this as well. Don't know the definite reason though.
from their website. only 2 simple cuss words lol
tbh, 2042 can easily be a Teen rated game
PEGI says "There is also use of strong language ('mo********' and 'f**k')"
tbh, when it was released it had them, i dont see those words being used at all now
Me neither, not even in Portal
Its rated pegi 16 in Europe
yeah but europe is dumb
they can easily make it a teen rating. ngl. barely anything bad but guns and bullets with assassinations
blood is barely shown in general
unless something is keeping them M17+ rating
Cry to the government this is a discord for the game
took you 30 minutes but you got that one out, good job
Bro thinks everyone is terminally online
South korea rated bf2042 18+
what are folks complaining about here?
All the ratings are wrong
people compared BF3 to 2042 for not having cuss words in 2042
or not as bad compared to BF3
And you decided to compete in egoistic values with another person?
We were having a decent conversation until this brainlet decided to start chimping out
Bro sperging because he can't Google the answer
I'm sorry you're stupid
Without strong language, not too much blood still got a M rating
took you 30 minutes to insult me
youre boring
Your arguments are trash, and your insults are boring but okay go off queen
when game dropped. the ESRB rating i understand. but all of that is basically gone now, sadly
My argument is google your question and click the first result for an easy answer
wait, what did?
heres my argument, google it
dumbass
Yeah
nice troll
It's common sense
Even at launch the dialogues were like "well well well, that was fun"
It is
did you play the game during release?
You dont give someone your argument and tell them to google it you fucking dope
If you Google a common sense question you're very likely to get the answer in your first result
You're as stupid as you are lazy
if your point was so strong you'd be able to provide it yourself
This took me a while to find, but is this the crux of this argument? That there's a swear filter in chat?
Yall are arguing about some real useless shit
yes all i wondered was why it was there lol
angel dialogue for days lol broken record on repeat
Ratings don't really make a sale difference in the US. But in Europe and Asia might
Holy fuck that's a real strange hill to die on, but hey, you do you.
Have you seen what was the filter like in BF5 beta?
If a game has the "wrong age rating" they can make the sale of it illegal
aye, lets calm down the negative talk, before mods do something
Just move on from this less important conversation
anyways, hows VHX changes so far, i barely see a difference set for the spread gets bigger faster now with less dmg
I get that maybe it can be annoying if you really wanted to see "what people wrote" but it's also so inconcequential in the scheme of things. I'm more amused that turned into an hour long conversation on ESRB ratings. Ratings aside, this obviously is part of EA's "don't be a jerk" or whatever it's called intiative. That's obviously EA's choice to make and can be done completely independent of the game's ESRB rating.
In conclusion y'all got nothing to do but spend some time here quarreling about insignificant matters
Go spend that time booting up the game and start playing
Angsty teenagers need to insult random strangers in game chat to feel some sorta validation

Idk it's weird
Just to confirm: no new rewards for this week in the event?
Agree to TOS
Play game
Decide to violate TOS
Get muted> cry
other than the free one
This week is the same as last week
It's because of EA's PTFO
That's why it has 120 ribbons. Only the game mode changed.
now I feel silly for bothering to get it done all last week ha
That's the reason we didn't have all chat
I mean at least last week the game mode was functional
I thought it'd move on to the other rewards in that store bundle, but of course not lol
breakthrough 128p is always the best mode
and what was the roadmap after this week again? A couple of weeks of Redux 2.0 or whatever before S7?
i miss Y1 128p breakthrough tho, lowkey
this?
thank you exactly what I was looking for ha
mmm, march 5/6th prob S7 release.... 
lord I hope ha
probably not, they'll do the announcement then probably
I'd imagine it's around the 10th
welp some time in march xD
thats like what, 5 months between seasons huh, yikes
or well, between season starts
Can we get a water map before they kill the game?
Maybe if it actually has 128p

Simmilar to paracel storm
I think a water map would break the game ha
nope but you can have noshar canals one more time
they're very clearly trying to time the seasons in line for when the next game is due to be released
normally its 3 months. but devs is cooking up S7. at the same time next BF is in development
thats why they extend this one?
given we had confirmation back in December that season 7 was happening (they have never pre-confirmed a season this early before), it's pretty clear plans have changed with the influence season 6 had on the draw for players enough for them to invest more content into for xyz future season
My take on it is: EA wants to buy as much time as possible for the next game for sure, and I think they're assessing on a season-by-season basis as to if they do another one. They COULD just stop outright, but if 2042 is at least providing enough income, that can justify the extra dev work.
the main reason, will be for 2 maps aswell, but the next game is the primary reason
you cannot assess on a season by season basis, content is made 1/2 seasons in advance for them, these things take a very long time to make, it's not just made in 2-4 weeks
if they attempted that it would be a disaster
i thought the seasons was in line already xD for next Bf game. i understand the 2 maps tho. since they have to find the lactation of ideal map. make the map from ground up each time.
I understand that, but could that be a reason why they are behind the curve then and that seasons are not hitting a typical 3 month cadence?
we never had explicit confirmation of 2 maps or season 7 until December, if I needed to guess the impact season 6 has had the 2 maps which are season 7, were actually one for season 7 and 8, but they're extending this one to make the additional content for season 8 now, but thats just a guess
see above note
i see
there's also been a rumor that a 2nd map may just be something like a reworked Hourglass stadium map, which would assumedly require less time
may not be true of course
given the maps locations it's definitely not a reworked hourglass lol
Doesn't mean it's in the same place per se, but same assets
that's the best logical reason I can come up with anyways in regards to why this season is longer than the rest, season 6's influence on the state of the game has been well outsized relative to the others to a massive degree, whether it's true or not, who knows
But yeah, I agree with you that normally they'd be working seasons in advance, but I just am not so sure the delayed timeframe of both S6 and S7 back that up
Or maybe the judgement call gets made a season ahead as opposed to several. For example, S7 was only committed to after the gauged the game around S5
I mean assuming the season wasn't delayed as normal, they would have already have started pre-production on season 8's content by now, it's likely the reason it got delayed
I could see them having made a call sometime during S6 as to if they would continue with a S8
it's not so much the season 8, but rather the 2 maps in a season
Maybe, it's definitely another theory
they had no real reason to even consider 2 maps in a season up till now other than if they thought there was enough momentum to justify it, and we didn't have that till this season
my point is, I don't think it's as well mapped out in advance like it would be pre-launch with a guaranteed 4 season schedule, although, 2042 has never really been able to stay ahead of schedule
I dunno it, I guess, was very conspicuous timing, put another way
i mean, they have to make each map from the bare ground up xD
i also wonder if they had to help on the next BF game, while keeping support for 2042
Probably, although I do believe from essentially 2042's launch (or at least post-trauma period) that they already put folks on the next game
It feels as if DICE moved to a standard post-launch live team after launch. This is not me saying "skeleton crew", just, whats typical for that stage
true, they prob pulled some people off to help next title. but kept majority behind on 2042 still.
Lets not forget HOW MUCH time transpired between launch and S1,it was a lot
yeah I wouldnt be surprised if they kept more than they initially had hoped to when they realized how dire it was
