Bf2042 best bf ever made?

[gaunt kernel]

they all best

unlike COD repeating the same game every year like fifa

[gilded goblet]

well dah

[fringe oak]

Don't get why everyone is hating on 2042

[gilded goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/lol-gif-5852846

[pearl ridge]

Seriously I cannot stress this enough: I do not like Control. I barely tolerate it at best.

It only gets worse when it’s on a shit map.

[gilded goblet]

ik ik it was a joke

[pearl ridge]

Arica is very much a shit map.

[gilded goblet]

all maps r shit

U in Vic?

[pearl ridge]

I’m just saying it’s kinda telling that they always have to incentivise us to play these half-baked modes

[gilded goblet]

indeed

want to play the trash game with me tmr

[pearl ridge]

Nah I’ve got shit to do in Halo

[gilded goblet]

Yo fair enough tho!

[gaunt kernel]

dude

[pearl ridge]

You seem nice though. Maybe we can work together at some point

[gaunt kernel]

AM40 pretty good tbh @gilded goblet

[gilded goblet]

[gilded goblet]

[cyan veldt]

I recreated the Arkangel Directive promo with new control gameplay. I hope you enjoy. See you for FNB https://youtu.be/4MtfI5h-BfM?si=LAzgcApcM4jgxqzr

[gaunt kernel]

what else should I try

Any worthy gun

[cyan veldt]

M5 is great

[halcyon vault]

How do i put password on the server, admin console ingame doesnt either allow me to ban or kick players only to takedown the server or switch map.
Doesnt seem that portal website gives that functionality
Ive seen videos when hosting the server giving the option to password but that doesnt appear to me, what am i missing?

[chilly jacinth]

something

[ashen siren]

Trying to get into a match is such a pain tonight...argh!

[cyan veldt]

is friday night battlefield baby

you know is the mode this friday??

[ashen siren]

just another night of watching medics and squad member just run on by...sigh

[pearl ridge]

I’m starting to think that people choose their specialist based on looks alone

Like come ON why are you playing engineer if you’re not going to put a rocket up that tank

[frozen loom]

Keep Nicki Minaj skins out of BF. Thanks.

[patent pivot]

And keep wz out of BF

Thanks

[frozen loom]

What's that?

[scenic dragon]

Bro wtf 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[void gorge]

Dice should have included an option to exit the game on that screen that says "connecting to online services" because sometimes there is a connection problem and no matter how much you press try again, it stays in an eternal "loop" and you are forced to use for example alt+f4

[ebon pilot]

Alt+F4 is the option to exit the game

[small coral]

So, did anyone get an end screen where a specialist did a pose from a different specialist?

Because for some reason, I got Sundance to do Falck's pose at the end of match results.

I would post a screenshot for this, but I can't post media in this server without a role.

[ebon pilot]

On the squad results screen it's a shared animation set

any specialist can use any animation from that context

[solid imp]

you can make the voice line and specialist mismatch if you switch specialists right after the 10 second countdown starts but before they do their one liner

[ebon pilot]

example #battlefield-2042 message

[solid imp]

perfect

[gaunt kernel]

You really still plat on RL after 3300?

[solid imp]

in 3s yea, I'm not that great... I might be like mid-diamond play quality on good days
but I mostly play the offshoot modes like snow day, in which case usually champ rank 🙂

[gaunt kernel]

3S and snowday two of my fav modes lol

[arctic grove]

A 91 if you haven’t

[gaunt kernel]

What region you play on?

patch notes yay!

oh so by impact improvements it literally does just mean the impact indicator

I thought that meant buffs or something

[pine roost]

juicy

actually looking forward to that

more interested by patches than content nowadays

but like, I don't really know if there is anything else left for them to overhaul

they've done vehicles, classes, aircraft. I think the game's been pretty neutral. Haven't any major complaints like we did for transports

[mental delta]

You couldn't conceive how much I agree with that

[torpid wadi]

What about Ariana Grande?

[mental delta]

Fuck her too

I mean not that way

Like she can go fuck herself

I don't want her in BF

[torpid wadi]

Here’s hoping brother

[mental delta]

She can go in COD though

[mental delta]

https://tenor.com/view/ayo-ayo-what-the-fuck-what-the-fuck-gif-16592310

[torpid wadi]

What about Elvis Presley?

[mental delta]

Are you planning to ask me about every rock/pop stars you think about ?

[torpid wadi]

I’m considering it

Good news is that i don’t know many

It took me a while to remember Ariana’s name

[mental delta]

Well you shouldn't, I don't want The Weekend either, or fucking Billie Eillish or Lil Nas X

[torpid wadi]

But what about Justin timberlake?

[mental delta]

That fucking piece of shit can go in any games he wants as long as it ain't BF

[torpid wadi]

What about past us presidents?

Gimme my boy George in ere

[mental delta]

I don't want sleepy Joe to sleep on my dead body while I'm asking for revive

[mental delta]

Depends which one

[torpid wadi]

All of them

[mental delta]

George Washington, George W. Bush and George Bush junior ?

[torpid wadi]

Yes

Having all the presidents in the game will give 2042 the niche it needs to last generations

[mental delta]

Yes or it's gonna lead to its falldown (joking, can't get worse than launch)

[torpid wadi]

I simply can see no way that this could fail

Honestly I don’t see why dice hasn’t hired me yet

[mental delta]

Trump itself constitues its own reason of why it could fail

[mental delta]

Yeah I really don't get it either...

[torpid wadi]

You’d have plenty of people who either want to shoot at him or be him

I have basically handed dice the recipe to printing money

[mental delta]

Idk the dude enough to be part of those 2 groups of people, let's just say he seems to be crazy af

[mental delta]

Yeah really, almost reminds me of that PayDay 2 printing money job, I'm shocked

[torpid wadi]

We shall profit off of the crazy

[mental delta]

Well maybe not in that situation

[torpid wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-gif-27071614

[topaz breach]

Ayooo

[calm bison]

Yup 2142 is canon

News Networks Coming Online

News channels from around the world are reporting the formation of [redacted]. Conflicting reports from various networks paint different pictures of the impact this Coalition will have on the future of our world. Stay tuned for the latest updates as the situation develops.

[patent path]

yeeeeee

[mental delta]

What are the factions in it ?

[calm bison]

The European Union and Pan-Asian Coalition

Plus there are PAC posters on the new map

[mental delta]

What's this coalition ?

And where are US in it ?

[patent path]

Pan-Asian with their posh floaty tanks and their bullshit energy weapons

Diesel guzzling mechs now that's pog

[calm bison]

The US isn’t present in 2142. The coalition is mixture of Eastern countries, namely Russia, Japan, China, and I want to say India

No just Japan and Russia

[mental delta]

Interesting, why for fuck's sake can't they make a single game where EU coalition is a playable faction ?

It's always US and Russia

Like those mf tend to forget those aren't the only countries with guns in the world lol

[patent path]

yup other countries all ded

[naive quiver]

You know now why call of duty campaign is all about US and Russian

[mental delta]

Not really ? Because they don't have balls to talk about China because they don't want to get censored and see their game banned in China ?

😂

[chilly jacinth]

$

[naive quiver]

Well BF4 is an awesome example

[naive quiver]

No one’s say “NO” to money

[calm bison]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefield/images/c/ca/BF2142.PAC_Emblem.png/revision/latest?cb=20220510033950

Also I think 2042 is now in the 2050s

[mental delta]

Yeah and i was a good game, it was original that for once we could play a third faction

[calm bison]

This is weird because according to the wiki the PAC formed in 2106

[mental delta]

Lore makes no real sense, I mean they'll update it when they need to no matter what

[calm bison]

Yeah probably

Chances are they’ll incorporate the shearwater technology with the second ice age that 2142 is set in

[rugged drift]

I just hit tier 1 in m5a3, what is the best DMR to use ? I like grinding weapons

[azure zenith]

They all are pretty good

My personal favorite is the DM7. Second is BSV and the G28 is 3rd. But all got their pros and cons.

[mystic current]

Hey PC pilots do you guys change the default controls? Especially Yaw controls.

[mental delta]

Yeah we'll probably have to fight over it lol

[pine roost]

I stick to default. Different setups are just personal preference, you can do just as well with rifle aim as button yaw

Just make sure pitch up is on a button, then you’re golden

[mystic current]

You have any tips on shooting with default? I can fly nicely with default but I can't aim at all.

[waxen dock]

FNB not a thing today?

[pine roost]

Against infantry or air?

[mystic current]

Infantry, for air combat I will try to position myself for an easy straight shot.

[pine roost]

Gotcha. Assuming you already know where the enemy is and you are just strafing that one person, one of the two most useful things that helped me was to use roll to cancel out that lateral drift that is a result of coming out of a horiztonal turn, you just tilt to the opposite side of the direction you are drifting and without pulling up you’ll slowly counteract said drift, which’ll then get you flying straight towards the enemy, then just flatten out.

Something else to consider is that yaw has some pretty slow acceleration, so using it reactively isn’t really going to work. You for the most part will want to tap it multiple times and then let it drift to the enemy. For the most part, simply experimenting with different tapping speeds is the only real way you are going to get the yaw control down

[last willow]

Wait wait what's goin on?

I can only get so hard

2142 is my all time fav

[rugged drift]

its the best one

[last willow]

THE best one

I still play it on reclamation on the weekends

[mystic current]

Yeah thanks for the tapping tip, I tried tapping but with the same speed and it doesn't get me anywhere.

[rugged drift]

cebrere landing and sidi power plant r great maps

[last willow]

GOAT maps

[calm bison]

Effectively DICE is hinting that the PAC is making an appearance in 2042

[last willow]

GOAT game

GOAT game modes

[calm bison]

They mentioned a new coalition and there are PAC posters on the new map

[royal swan]

I think it's a stretch

[last willow]

GOAT commander mode

[last willow]

This is the way

The live service transitioning into the game we all really wanted

[royal swan]

We'll have to wait until the map is released

[calm bison]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/850376380822323230/1210634274391199784/remix-e4c59d2f-496e-4e05-aeaa-97ef3e9fe1af.png?ex=65eb4607&is=65d8d107&hm=aa28b693d157880a11cd10cfe0edbde9a15c07399d2b9a77a004d4e77b0d7cb5&

[rugged drift]

they should have just made 2042 the 2142 prequel tell me im wrong

[royal swan]

The full image of the logo is hidden

[odd jetty]

HELP!! My game's performance is horrible! Like 30 fps, literally unplayable even with everything on low graphics. I played months ago on literally high/ultra and it was so smooth idk why now I'm getting horrible frame rate. I went to Config and enabled DX12 and have higher products than the requirments. Pls I lowkey miss this game and literally cannot find the fix for this. Please don't make me go play ground war on CoD...

[pine roost]

Yeah you’ve got to try different speeds, different durations. Not just one speed, then you’ll find the pattern that works

[last willow]

right?

[royal swan]

All I see is three leafs

[calm bison]

https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/Uh_klmunQY26YpfW2tx5_3h5myklr1mpArwhbnI3sN0/%3Fcb%3D20220510033950/https/static.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefield/images/c/ca/BF2142.PAC_Emblem.png/revision/latest

[royal swan]

We'll have to wait

[rugged drift]

they could have made a 2142 prequel and made up all the guns, vehicles, etc. we just get tanks and helis from the 80s in 2042??

[last willow]

its... beautiful

[calm bison]

Now according to 2142 lore, this coalition doesn’t exist until 2106

So…

[rugged drift]

battlefield lore eh

[last willow]

Hmm, they better speed up the years in these seasons lol

[calm bison]

I figured that the shearwater technology from Season 1-5 would come into play

[last willow]

All the gun sounds in 2142 were perfect

[royal swan]

Mate it's not enough evidence, we'll need to actually map to determine if it's the actual image

[last willow]

the reload animations, etc

[last willow]

I know bro I'm just day dreaming you know?

[rugged drift]

i mean the walkers, APC's with launch pods for soldiers and hover tanks... the shit in that game wass ahead of its time and the maps are fucking good its sad dice/ea dont invest any money or time into that part of the franchise. I played 2042 and bf3 the most

i mean 2142

[last willow]

lotion and tissues in hand you know?

[calm bison]

I believed that in later seasons other parties would try to hack the shearwater satellite and due to increased interference the satellite plunged earth into a second ice age, leading to 2142

It’s been established that Final Stand is canon

[last willow]

Yup

[calm bison]

Due to the existence of the Rorsch rifle

[last willow]

True, the live service will eventually progress to that

Super stoked

[royal swan]

That's if the game is alive to do so

[calm bison]

I hope that the final map of the game does involve the second ice age

[calm bison]

We’re not getting a new game until 2025

We got time

[royal swan]

I have a feeling season 7 or 8 is the last one

[last willow]

It will be as long as they don't ruin and we are finally satisfied lmao

[last willow]

this

[calm bison]

Season 7 will likely run from March to June

Then Season 8 will go July to September/October

If DICE does this right they can squeeze 2 more seasons in there

[royal swan]

Honestly season 8 looks to be the last one if they commit to year 2 of 2042

[calm bison]

If we’re going off of mainline releases, DICE will likely release the next game fall 2025

[royal swan]

They said that

[calm bison]

Leaving Spring and Summer open for a 2042 Seasons 9 and 10

[royal swan]

Your hopes are way to high

That would likely never happen

[last willow]

relax, it will

just take a chill pill mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

be the light you want to be

[calm bison]

I made peace with BFV getting its content cut short like a day after the announcement

[last willow]

change the world

[royal swan]

I highly doubt it

There is no proof of a third year

[calm bison]

We don’t have proof but one can hope

[spare quest]

[calm bison]

And if DICE continues to see success with 2042 they may push it

[royal swan]

True

[calm bison]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly I could just say modern gaming community and that would speak for itself

Why are you so fucking negative all the time

[royal swan]

Says don't hope too high and that it ain't true.

WhY sO nEgAtIvE

??

[calm bison]

See this is the strawman we always get

[royal swan]

I'm not even negative

[calm bison]

Person points to one thing they said and acts like that is the sole reason for the response

[dusk falcon]

where is the pan asian coalition mentioned in the teaser?

[royal swan]

That's not even a good fucking strawman

[dusk falcon]

cause i cant find it

[calm bison]

It’s in the patch notes

[royal swan]

Also ad hominem

[dusk falcon]

News channels from around the world are reporting the formation of [redacted]. Conflicting reports from various networks paint different pictures of the impact this Coalition will have on the future of our world. Stay tuned for the latest updates as the situation develops.

youre saying redacted is the pan asian

[calm bison]

It was more of a general comment regarding modern gaming communities but if we’re going to get specific it feels like every time I see you engage in chat it feels like you just bring the energy down. Maybe that’s just selective memory but I cannot remember for the life of me an instance of you being positive

That may be on me tho

My memory is kinda shit

[calm bison]

Also the clear as day word coalition

[dusk falcon]

ehhh i say its a bit of a stretch

pan asian was created in 2100 ish

[royal swan]

Confirmation bias

Or selective attention

[mental delta]

I mean it's next year, season 8 is gonna be the last one considering their seasons last for 6 months apparently now

[calm bison]

Where did this whole “pointing out rhetorical techniques” thing come from

[royal swan]

When you did that strawman statement

[calm bison]

I think it was just long to accommodate the holiday that dice had

But previous seasons like S3 don’t support that entirely

[calm bison]

I was going to respond saying that this was in reference to arguments in general but whatever

I don’t care anymore

Changing alignment to chaotic evil

[mental delta]

I don't think it was but you may be right, I personnally think it was because making 1 map takes them 3 motnsh and they wanted to serve us 2 maps in season 7 so logically they needed 6 months

[royal swan]

Should've said that earlier, save some time instead of being an ass to me.

[calm bison]

You’re talking to someone who thrives off of being an ass to people

At least sometimes

[royal swan]

I mean I all said was don't get your hopes up or that ain't true

And someone didn't like that a bit too much

[calm bison]

Alright then

Now if you’ll excuse me I’m just going to go crush the hopes and dreams of children

[royal swan]

This is 2042, they do the bare minimum. Don't get hopes until they at least confirm it

[mental delta]

Season 8 is gonna be a thing but it's gonna be last season as well

[royal swan]

That's what I'm saying

[mental delta]

Now, MARK THOSE FUCKING WORDS

[royal swan]

I believe year 2 is the last year of 2042

And the rest is being put on the next game

[mental delta]

I know, year 2 would be complete with season 8, that's why I think season 7 is probably gonna last for more than 6 months, until Fall, then season 8 drops with teasing beginning for the next game

[calm bison]

If DICE opts to make the next 2 seasons as long as Season 6 then yeah Season 8 will probably be the last

But if they make the seasons shorter then it’s possible for future seasons

We will just have to see

[royal swan]

They could with season 7

There is a chance

A good percent

[calm bison]

We don’t know how long Season 7 will be (unless there’s some information that says otherwise)

It could be 4 months

It could be 2 and half

I do believe Season 6 was lengthened to give DICE a bit more time to work on the next season but hey that’s just a guess

[royal swan]

I hope the wait time isn't as bad

[calm bison]

Well we’re only a week away from March being a thing and holy shit this year is going way too fast

[royal swan]

The Two months were just awful

[mental delta]

But why would they ? I mean season 6 was already 6 months long with 1 map and season 7 is gonna feature 2, I definitely see season 7 lasting for 6 good months or more and season 8 coming with 2 maps as well with 1 additionnal map or out of ordinary stuff maybe to mark the end of BF2042 cycle

[calm bison]

They may stretch it out, they may not, again this is all speculation

But seriously it’s almost March

WHAT THE FUCK

[mental delta]

Yup but I really see them doing that tbh, seasons have just been getting longer and longer and I don't like it, game is still lacking content imo so it definitely doesn't need that in addition

Just my opinion though

You may not agree with that

[calm bison]

I think if DICE is going to stretch these seasons out they really need to pour more content and that may not be the case here

We were lucky enough they opted to give us 2 maps this season

[pine roost]

I feel that should help a bit

[mental delta]

Well we don't know that yet in reality, imagine the season is months 6 long and they drop second map mid-season lol

[pine roost]

I was expecting them to

[mental delta]

It would be equivalent to seasons

[calm bison]

They will probably do that

We will just have to wait and see

[mental delta]

I don't hope so, it would feel like a scam

"hey we promised you 2 maps but guess what, they'll come out in a 6 months time span"

[pine roost]

Given how they did map reworks

[calm bison]

It wouldn’t be the first time they’ve released maps over the course of a season

[mental delta]

Anyway I ain't that hyped for season 7 unfortunately

They took too much time making it

It doesn't feel the same as waiting for previous seasons

I'll play it I think

But I definitely don't have any hype for it

[calm bison]

IDK, I just like that we’re back to Geopolitics for the lore again

[spare pasture]

Well yeah

[patent pivot]

Now where's my carrier assault

[pine roost]

I mean, it’s not like what’s coming has changed at all

I’m in a good situation cause I’ve got so much going on on the side that I can wait a while

[fringe oak]

Let's just hope next bf gonna be good

[chilly jacinth]

[pine roost]

If the mouse works then it’ll already be better

I just want it to incorporate the feedback from this from the get go

[fringe oak]

Imagine if bf 4 would have like 30k players

I would non stop play it

[rotund kite]

They'll have an extra year to develop the game, I at least hope to get a game with working mechanics from release date

But not gonna lie my expectation bar is very low lol

[mental delta]

Well it's on them

I mean BF2042 is in a better state

[pine roost]

Same here. Definitely won’t get so caught up on the marketing material this time

[mental delta]

They partially regained player's truth (well at least for a part of the community)

[fringe oak]

Yeah I don't got it yet but I'm thinking of buying it

[pine roost]

Besides, 2025 is halfway through my placement year so I’ll probably be busy

[mental delta]

They know what needs to be done if they want to make a good game

[fringe oak]

Yup

But 2042 looks really fun now

Kinda wanna try it

[mental delta]

I would advise you to wait for season 7, it's probably going to be on sales by the time it releases

[echo yew]

It is

Still not worth buying full price

[pine roost]

Well good for most that is, some just can’t be pleased

[fringe oak]

Yeah I will

[echo yew]

no fps AAA game is worth buying full price at the time

[pine roost]

Still got loads to go through at the moment though

[fringe oak]

Well yeah ofc, I would buy it from a key site it's like 13 dollars

[mental delta]

It's a really decent game now, I wouldn't say a good BF game because I still can't see it as a BF game lol but it's probably the funniest AAA FPS game you can get rn

[pine roost]

Could get into it now and start working through the weapon assignments before the pass challenges start

[pine roost]

Definitely feels like the one that respects your time the most

[echo yew]

hoping 2025 is a banger tho, we might be headed that way seeing how 2042 has changed from being horrible to actually solid

[mental delta]

Wdym lol

[pine roost]

And tbf this is the first time in a while where there aren’t really any glaring issues like there have been in the past

Like usually there’s some mass overhaul in the works, but I don’t recall any mention of any big things they are doing

[mental delta]

Yeah I really hope so, with all the shit they made and they've been through they got all the elements they need to know howto make a good BF game

[echo yew]

I also think they should just play it safe

[pine roost]

Well they know what not to do that’s for sure

[echo yew]

Going back to basics, a return to the form of bf4/3

But with a modern approach

[fringe oak]

Yeah

[echo yew]

They can make this battlefield hq connected universe one launcher/engine/base game different titles

[mental delta]

The most important thing for me in next game is going back to modern classic era, with modern actual weaponry instead of "anticipated" type of guns and gadgets

[pine roost]

Please don’t do what cod does, that launcher is the stupidest thing on earth

[echo yew]

But the base of the game needs to be a good, regular modern battlefield game

[pine roost]

Genuinely abhorrent

[echo yew]

It’s pretty much confirmed :/ or at least its the most likely outcome

[pine roost]

And all the games use the same engine anyway

[mental delta]

That's the dumbest shit I've noticed in a franchise but somehow people find a way to not complain or talk shit about it

[pine roost]

When they talk about a connected universe that for the most part is to do with storytelling from what we can gather

[echo yew]

I don’t really see it as a storytelling thing

[pine roost]

No reason to make a new launcher when all of the past games were connected already in a far better way than what cod did

[lone void]

Literally only the overarching story needs to be connected, some shitty launcher that's laggier than beta 2042 is not necessary or wanted

There really is no purpose for it

[pine roost]

And if they do, just use what 4, hardline and 1 used

That worked well aside from the playercount spoofing

[lone void]

A quick switch button

[pine roost]

But dice do so many different things between titles this next one could be literally anything

[echo yew]

To me, “connected universe” means one of two things

1- a connected ecosystem where they make a base game like cod did with mw22, then they split it into SP, MP, and the third mode, basically 3 different “experiences” using a common ground, and that being the way future BF titles work, and maybe they’ll let you buy each part separatedly from each other as if they were different games.

2-It means a connected narrative story, but i see this less likely, as BF isn’t a game that shines for it’s stories

Is that a good thing? Uhhh idk

But the 1st one is my current theory on the future of battlefield and i could see it working, but also being a mess

[pine roost]

BF’s already got a connected storyline, but from various investor calls and Markus’ tweets it feels like they want to push that

But to be honest? I couldn’t care less. I never play the campaigns anyway

[echo yew]

would be nice if the third mode was a proper excecution of the hazard zone extraction concept

like cod’s dmz

[pine roost]

After having failed a 3rd mode twice now, a third attempt would be fairly risky

Can’t see them putting much effort into it

[echo yew]

I mean

They have ripple effect dedicated to a third mode don’t they?

[pine roost]

They did portal

Actually they may be working on the campaign now. Or was that Markus’ studio

I think the latter

Ridgeline! That’s it

So I’m not too sure what ripple are up to now

Although to be honest I’d only play pure multiplayer anyways. Wouldn’t touch a br / extraction mode

Nor a campaign :/

If they can pull it off without impeding on the base game quality, go for it

[lone void]

Please not war stories again

[lone void]

The connected narrative has already been set up in 2042. Pac dies in the opening act of the plot, Irish is there, Blackburn has showed up, and Reclaimed is from the BF4 war of 2020

[last smelt]

guys not sure if this is the right channel or what but - has anyone else been experiencing getting stuck in a queue loop?
queue for gamemode>screen fades to black after 5-4-3-2-1 countdown to join game> screen reappears in main menu?

driving me frickin crazy, no idea how to fix it. on PC btw.

[pine roost]

Can’t say I have

Best bet is to try the age old file verification on your launcher as a first measure

[last smelt]

yeah done that, cleared steam cache, fresh booted PC

still persists 😦

and i have high end parts it aint that either. so weird.

[gilded goblet]

Give it a shot try and be agressive with it aswell

[wide shore]

Pls tell me that their persistent server “update” doesn’t begin and end with this portal shit

You make a fancy graphic with “persistent servers update” and it’s just for portal? What the hell. People wanted persistent servers for AOW. If it was just for portal then why not say it in the graphic?

[torpid wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/wheeze-wheeze-laugh-nikkal-kundhal-nikkalkundhal-gif-23223780

[wide shore]

I was genuinely more excited for persistent servers than anything content wise coming to this game.

This has to be some kinda early April fools joke

[chilly jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/xqc-slam-slam-desk-desk-slam-xqc-slam-gif-19145485

[stone cradle]

Wait what

[tawny carbon]

They already stated for portal. Also, in portal you can already make AOW portal servers. Nobody does it.

Persistent servers always been a portal thing.

[stone cradle]

[wide shore]

This change makes little to no different at all. And yet when the graphic dropped everyone was stoked thinking it was for AOW. No language was ever used from DICE to imply this wasn’t the case. This is such a fucking waste and a giant blueball to the whole community.

[stone cradle]

Legacy feature to have it for main playlist I guess

[tawny carbon]

That’s the issue. People assume. Till Dice say anything, some people flip

[wide shore]

There was no reason to label this as “persistent server update”

This is a mild change to how portal persistence work.

[stone cradle]

Arkangel event looks eh. Skin given out is a Lis one right? Not really interested

[wide shore]

It is not the communities fault for DICE once again being unable to word anything properly

[stone cradle]

Yeah they could've very well just added "Portal" to the start of the name

[wide shore]

Especially when you consider. Hearing “persistent server update” makes you immediately think AOW. Because it doesn’t have persistent servers. Portal already does.

[tawny carbon]

I mean 😪, persistence servers always been a portal thing from the start. It never been a AOW. Dice let you create your on AOW server in portal. People just simply choose not to.

[stone cradle]

Barely anybody touches portal these days

[tawny carbon]

That’s the point.

[wide shore]

Server browser has always been a thing in portal too. Doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist for AOW

[tawny carbon]

You can make your own AOW server. Is it hard to understand that?

[stone cradle]

So that shouldn't be the solution, it should be added to AOW too where 98% of the players are

[arctic grove]

Yeah that was super fucked tbh lol

[pine roost]

I knew from the get go it would be just portal, but yeah they could have just added ‘portal’ to the start for people who didn’t immediately assume that

[tawny carbon]

Dice also stated from the start that no server browser will be coming to AOW.

[quaint vector]

You know why people won't touch Portal.?

Because the XP is now so strict that even "Full XP" experience is not Full XP anymore... No matter if you have AI's off..

[wide shore]

That and they killed it from the start and tried to resurrect it and it was too little too late.

[tawny carbon]

I wonder why. Because just xp farm all day long

[quaint vector]

Could have been avoided easily tho

[pine roost]

Xp restrictions definitely killed it from the start

The most upvoted forum post is still about the xp restrictions

[stone cradle]

Literally no post launch content for portal - -> Not many experiences to make - - > farm maps dominating - - > xp nerf - - > barely anybody even touching it now

[tawny carbon]

Can’t beat air superiority xp farm method

[stone cradle]

why did they need to make Ripple make some trend shooter again man

Just put them on post-launch support like they did for BFV

[wide shore]

Portal to me at this stage is where you go to get Easter eggs done. Or where people go to play hardcore. Ergo I hardly ever touch it

[pine roost]

I mean… that’s what they did. They made flashpoint after all

[velvet sand]

Come now, this is DICE. Do you expect anything other than a common DICE L? Watching the community excitedly discuss persistence coming to AOW while just sitting there and doing nothing to correct them is super on-brand for DICE.

[wide shore]

I think the system that is there is great. But it never should have been in a whole other menu. Portal experiences should’ve just been in a server browser just like old rented servers.

[stone cradle]

Yeah but now they're working on their own title. Now it seems like it's a small DICE team that's dedicated to updates for the game. Probably allowed to support longer because the ceo was impressed with S6

[quaint vector]

I play Portal only for Community Events or if I make Server for my Community, that's all... I'm playing Breakthrough for 95% of the time

[velvet sand]

This whole "6.X" roadmap we got could have been an email at this point. Even the repeat map protection was delayed outta the last update and they haven't said anything about it.

[wide shore]

You’re right. Damn my optimism for something that would only ever help the game.

[tawny carbon]

Portal is technically meant to be for older battlefields to be in 2042

[velvet sand]

I was huffing that hopium wih you and everyone else.

[stone cradle]

Well you know what they say..

Ignorance is bliss

[wide shore]

That hasn’t been the case for years. Ever since they put the portal maps into 64p conquest at least.

[velvet sand]

I was going to say, "The definition of insanity is expecting a different result from doing the same thing." but ignorance is bliss works too. Because at this point expecting DICE to deliver an unqualified W is absolutely insane.

[tawny carbon]

Atleast Dice isn’t new IW dev team that will be miserable 😭

[coarse elbow]

Remember bf 2042 didn't have a scoreboard by design because it was deemed toxic. They previously had morons design this game.

Most of them have been fired though so hopefully the next game won't be poop on arrival.

[wide shore]

Apparently we’re the morons now for ever expecting something positive for the game.

[stone cradle]

"Listening to community feedback? What does that mean?" - Modern IW

[velvet sand]

It's funny because while they said that's why it's clear that they also never planned anythign related to it which is why it took 6+ months to get a barebones board and another few updates to make it remotely functional.

[tawny carbon]

The game was rushed in general. What do you expect when people desperately want a new BF game

[coarse elbow]

Reread it again

They didn't have a scoreboard because it was deemed toxic. Not because they didn't have time to implement one.

[arctic grove]

I think people only got ‘desperate’ when DICE decided to release the trailer tho, they naturally expected a new game soon

[stone cradle]

I still remember the twitch stream they did to promote the game. People used notepad to note down kills

[coarse elbow]

Ik this game was rushed but that's irrelevant to what I said before

[stone cradle]

Man that stream was funny.

[velvet sand]

oh that was the little promo event with the random "literally who" streamers commentating? I think that was Amazon's hilarious "Crown Channel" nonsense.

[coarse elbow]

Ik it will never happen but I wish Premium came back alongside just paying for DLC

[velvet sand]

Holy heck I forget about that ultra-cringe. Imagine tracking your scoreboard on notepad in the year of our lord 2022 (I think that's when the stream was)

[stone cradle]

Im pretty sure it was after the launch. Like early December-ish?

2021

[arctic grove]

It’s not impossible imo, people spend 20 dollars on literal cosmetics, 15-20 dollars every 3 months for 4-5 packs is 100% possible in the modern day

[velvet sand]

I thought it was after they came back from the holidays and the patch frequence cratered from one or two a week addressing key issues to one every few months because they were spending all their time trying to figure out how to unfuck the game. Either way, fun trip down memory lane and remembering that as much as 2042 has improved in the 2+ years since it's launched DICE is still DICE and is sitll going to be terrible at communication and farm completely avoidable and common DICE L's.

[arctic grove]

The only reason it “splits the player base” is cause the last premium Battlefield was like 8 yrs ago, it would’ve had player base problems regardless

[stone cradle]

I don't like that model at all.

But man, with the dripfeed that's happening today, I'll take it honestly

All these companies want to be like Fortnite

And only put in a quarter of the effort Epic does for their game

[wheat sentinel]

How do people cheat on 2042? I mean is the classical aim assist or worse?

[stone cradle]

I mean look at suicide squad, very recent example. WB said it was very dissapointing sales wise and barely anybody still plays it. I wonder why...

[wide shore]

Aim assist sucks ass in this game so it ain’t that.

[arctic grove]

Also sometimes 30 dollars for cosmetics lmao

[velvet sand]

Meanwhile Helldivers 2 is so popular they're two weeks into launch and still trying to fix bugs and add additional capacity to handle like 10x+ the number of players they anticipated. I wish I had any confidence that DICE actually learns from 2042 and what's happening in the broader industry. I know they've talked up a "focus on learning from mistakes" but damn if I still don't believe they as a studio are capable of it.

[wide shore]

DICE never learn from their mistakes.

They try to reinvent the wheel on every mechanic even when they don’t have to

[arctic grove]

💯

[stone cradle]

Yeah first impressions are everything. No matter how good your redemption arc is in 2 years time

[wide shore]

There was NOTHING wrong with a server browser. Everyone loved it. Persistent servers ruled. Everyone loved it. Oh shit, what’s that? Matchmaking?

[arctic grove]

I wouldn’t even call it much of a redemption for this game ngl

[stone cradle]

Heard skins cost like $5 in HD2 PS5 gamers are spoilt.

[wide shore]

People liked BFV movement? Huh. Fuck that, we don’t need that shit.

Squad point system universally loved? Who needs it.

[arctic grove]

Broken to functional shouldn’t even be considered, and missing almost every aspect of previous titles is another whammy

[stone cradle]

I mean you can't really do BFV movement again if most of the people behind that are gone

[wide shore]

I find it hard to believe a company as well funded as DICE couldn’t figure out crouch sprinting and rolling to negate fall damage

They simply didn’t want it.

[stone cradle]

No persistent servers was probably another trend they tried to copy to make 2042 fit right in with the other trend shooters

[wide shore]

Same with leaning.

[stone cradle]

Tactical roll my beloved

[arctic grove]

I don’t know anything about this so total noob question, but can’t they look over the code and stuff

Obviously it would be different in a new engine and what not, but

[stone cradle]

I honestly don't know much either but Frostbite is a hell of an engine and they hired quite a bit of new people.

[mental delta]

I prefered those to BF2042 movements, sliding in BF2042 is meh

[wide shore]

At this point I’m convinced that once DICE is done with a game they just delete every single bit of archive of it off every single computer in the office.

[arctic grove]

2042 movement in general is very arcadey and isn’t really grounded

[stone cradle]

Mix in the fact that they were rushed and that's probably why movement at launch felt so robotic

[wide shore]

It still feels robotic

[mental delta]

Let's not learn the lesson, let's make same mistakes again, let's reinvent the wheel

[stone cradle]

This reminds me of that Uganda movie "who killed captain Alex"

[wide shore]

It’s fine. But compared to previous titles it’s got no sense of weight at all

[arctic grove]

I don’t talk about this as much as other points, but animations also play a major part in how movement just feels and looks, and 2042 doesn’t do much there either

[mental delta]

Ho let's upset the entire community and let's make shitty release as well

[stone cradle]

Everytime they finished a movie, they deleted it because they barely had any space on their hard drives

feels like that with DICE right now

[wide shore]

Feels like DICE for over a decade

[mental delta]

Dice wish they were those Ugandan lads

[wide shore]

On one hand. It’s nice that all their games aren’t copy-paste. But sometimes you gotta just chill tf out and stop changing shit that doesn’t need to be changed.

[stone cradle]

Movie was made on a barebones budget, but you can really feel the passion, yeah

[wide shore]

If you have more players playing your older titles than your new one, you fucked up

[mental delta]

Quite the opposite for Dice, they got the budget but they don't seem to give a single shit about what they're doing

[wide shore]

And maybe they’re playing them for a good reason. Maybe idk. Learn from what makes those games special instead of saying shit like “we don’t know why BC2 was so popular.”

[stone cradle]

They don't have the tech anymore to make BC3, fam

[wide shore]

I don’t even want BC3. And haven’t for over 10 years

[mental delta]

This was kind of a lie tbh, they 99% know what made BFBC2 popular, they just want to pretend they don't see it because that's not how they want to make games anymore, now it's all about the live service shit with skins and smaller updates

[stone cradle]

Atleast dice has now given me a reason to not touch this game until S7

Flying through my backlog right now

[mental delta]

It made me save cash from buying 1 month of PS Plus lol

Even made begin RDR2 again

What a fucking good game it is

[stone cradle]

Saaame lmao. Avoided paying a month of gamepass

[wide shore]

It simply would not live up to its predecessors. Would try too hard to be cool/silly to fit into today’s idea of FPS games. Would get hamfisted with cringe references and microtransaction skins of the main cast. And overall not feel at all like a direct sequel. Just a cash grab legacy pisser with no heart.

[mental delta]

Really better like this, unexpectedly they did something good for us dear wallets

[wide shore]

Yeah you’re right

[stone cradle]

Obviously they'll look at Helldivers 2 now and think gamers want quippy and cringe referencing soldiers again (ignoring the context for why Helldivers characters act like that)

[mental delta]

Agreed, the last "announcements" about the next game kinda surprised and worried me a little bit tbh, it seems like they really appreciate COD's model with this connected lore and games, and tbh I don't want to see that at all in BF lol

[stone cradle]

I honestly understand it, probably is easier to update games and release new stuff like that.

But COD HQ is not a good implementation of it at all

Please no streaming service-like UI

[velvet sand]

Loading up the MW2 to load up the HQ to load up MW3 isn't a seamless, enjoyable experience?

[stone cradle]

Update requires restart

[tawny carbon]

MW3 is fun asf

[fluid torrent]

We need more water based maps in 2042

naval warfare seems to be lacking

[stone cradle]

next map is in a desert and the other seems to be taking place in another desert

[velvet sand]

I don't like sand. It's course and rough and gets everywhere.

[tawny carbon]

Desert is the best

[pine roost]

Don’t like water either

Desert is good when it’s that mud hut, rocky landscape

[tawny carbon]

Will never happen in 2042

[pine roost]

Genuinely some of my favourite larger scale shooter environments are those arid places that aren’t just deserts

[crude wave]

Guys is there any way to refund bundles

I accidentally bought one and now I can't afford the next battlepasse

Ok it turns out I can't

Alright I officially give up on 2042

[vital quail]

I havent played during the downtime between seasons so I dont know if the main menu screen of our specialist on the ship is something new, but it made me think of naval stuff

Seems weird to have that be there but 0 naval stuff at all

[tawny carbon]

Your specialist is on a ship. It’s essentially called deployment. When you load in a match. You are being deployed on land. On some maps you see the ship that your on. In the water

Orbital. You can see the ship that your on from the main menu, off from a distance

[vital quail]

Is that the only map lol

[tawny carbon]

I think there is other few more. I don’t remember top of my head

[vital quail]

I mean noshar canals has it but that isn't 2042 original

[tawny carbon]

Ye, it have to be a 2042 map to see one from the distance. Portal maps don’t have it

[vital quail]

And is the only map with boats as well I think.. and the boat controls are ASS

[velvet sand]

Well, Manifest has the two boats you can fight on : P

And technically Discarded has boats...that are beached.

[tawny carbon]

The ship that your on in the main menu, isn’t playable at all, it’s out of bounds in the 2042 maps.

[vital quail]

Has it been something since release though? I haven't played between seasons or anything so idk if it's new

[velvet sand]

I believe so, yes.

[tawny carbon]

About?

[ebon pilot]

I think you can see it on Breakaway

[vital quail]

Like has that main menu screen of the specialist on the boat been something since release or is it new

[ebon pilot]

When a season isn't active that's the main menu location

It was like that after launch before season 1

[kindred quarry]

2042 is the best game ever

How can you beat 128 players with vehicles?

[tawny carbon]

It’s a great game, but BF4 is better imo

[kindred quarry]

I'm buying another Xbox series s for my second 75-in TV downstairs! Just for Battlefield 2042 on two screens for Xbox parties!

[patent pivot]

You lyin

[patent pivot]

Original right

[tawny carbon]

New gen one

[kindred quarry]

No other mainstream game with 128 players, vehicles and crosplay.

[tawny carbon]

Old gen is dead asf

[patent pivot]

I don't care??

[kindred quarry]

Gunships and recon jeeps are the best. Brawler, cram, and mav is 👌

Will there be more characters and maps introduced?

And vehicles?

[patent pivot]

You want gunship? Go play 3 or 4 for that true gunner experience

The ships there are miles better than whatever 2042 have

[ebon pilot]

more maps, probably more vehicles, no more specialists

[ebon pilot]

i love legal wall hacks

[stiff jay]

anyone trying to mess around, looking for conversation?

[next onyx]

Ah yes. The Persistent server update we all looked forward to.

Why even anymore.

[patent pivot]

se you tomorrow when that is gone

[formal marten]

Why does everyone hate 2042?

[ebon pilot]

because it's not the same as ${favorite_battlefield_entry}

some people want it to be 4, or 3, or 1, or 5, or Hardline, or Bad Company, or Bad Company 2, or 2142, or

and they're mad it's not

[patent pivot]

[ebon pilot]

or some people just want a server browser because their region sucks for matchmaking

[arctic grove]

It’s not as good as its predecessors but not just because nostalgia, considering DICE had to go backwards and try to bring people back with things like “locked” loadouts, VoIP, classes, etc

It’s the core design and lack of features/mechanics people liked that we had typically for several titles at a time

[plush echo]

Sometimes you don’t realize how important something is until you lose it

[wide shore]

I'm very mad

[next onyx]

I'm too fucking tired for this shit.

They fixed the game sure but they've forgotten so many things.

And the alternatives that we have dice don't even want to support

Like oh we have portal.
Why are all out warfare compliant servers cucked out of progression?

Where's the fairness of that?

Imagine providing alternatives but you can't be fucked actually supporting it.

[wide shore]

My biggest issue is they worded it the way they did. Then when people were posting all over about how persistent servers were coming to AOW, they didn't make any attempt to correct or clarify. They let it sit, got the good press, then did fuck all.

[next onyx]

Their horrible habit of going radio silent.

[wide shore]

It ain't even just that. Why would they word it "peristent server update" without thinking people would think its for AOW

Portal already has persistent servers.

[next onyx]

Remember the only time they commented on leaked content was a clarification on the suicide Japanese rocket from bf5.

[pearl ridge]

What, that it was unmanned

[next onyx]

No there was a leak for the v1 rocket equivalent for the Japanese by temporoyal that was a self driven rocket.

[wide shore]

I remember that

[next onyx]

Freeman directly came in and refuted claims about it being added. This is the only time I can even remember them talking about upcoming content.

Like fuck me dude.

[wide shore]

All they had to do was either clarify, or have put "portal persistent server update" in the original fuckin post

[pearl ridge]

Self-guided V1 would've broken the game.

[next onyx]

You have no idea what we're talking about.

[royal swan]

Man I wonder how many bugs 2042 will still noticeably have after support drops

[next onyx]

The rocket in reality was self driven, In game it would've been a normal ass rocket.

[royal swan]

I got money that they will never fix the loadout resetting bug

[next onyx]

It took people a while to notice the semi automatic bolt action bug funny enough.

[royal swan]

Or the skin going back to default bug

[next onyx]

On bf5.

[royal swan]

Not a fan of the skin resetting bug

Not sure how that's not fixed

[next onyx]

I wonder how it came to be.

[royal swan]

I wonder what causes it to happen

[next onyx]

I feel like it's linked to the loadout bug too.

[royal swan]

Oh definitely

I get that one all the time

[next onyx]

Oh yeah it happens when you change attachments on your guns.

Just incase you haven't noticed.

Maybe spaghetti code?

And I don't mean that in a malicious way.

[royal swan]

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the reason is poor coding

9 more ribbons

I hope they change the mode next week

Not really a fan of the mode with these terrible map choices

[next onyx]

I personally really enjoy control but the team balancing is dogshit.

[wide shore]

It's funny, cause I like the mode. But I thought the point of it was to limit vehicles. But there's so fucking many

Sometimes you see teams with like 5 vehicles on one flag it's kinda annoying

[crude arch]

Bro how the fuck do jets stay behind you

like everywhere I went the guy went like i couldnt leave without him up my ass shooting every shot

like im trying to get better I just can't with these try hards

[kindred quarry]

pondhawks rock!

[royal swan]

Idk how they do it but what the hell is that account

[kindred quarry]

Pondhawks are genius

If that's the future of the air force

Dozer resists rocket hits on pondhawks

[royal swan]

Yeah the map choices for this mode are ass

Honestly I don't think there is a single portal map that works well with control

They all suck

I had more fun with breakaway on control

I really hope those maps are removed from rotation next week

[vital quail]

I swear every time I spawn in a brawler, a minikit from the lego games spawns on top and dissappears shortly after

[next onyx]

Reclaimed is probably my most consistently enjoyed map in this game.

[pine roost]

Well if they are behind you they’ll stay behind you since you both pitch at the same rate

[autumn glade]

practice evasive manouvers

lmao

but legit practice like slowing your engines and letting them get ahead of you, then speeding up again

[pine roost]

Or a split s

Although in general, practicing general awareness is a big boost

I’ve seen so many pilots spawn and just fly straight towards the first tank they see

And I can just come in and swoop them

[autumn glade]

exactly

[pine roost]

Make sure to fly back after you spawn and spot whatever is in the sky first

[autumn glade]

i find that staying in your own airspace is until you have a target is a good practice

[pine roost]

If he’s behind you then you either didn’t check for the enemy jet beforehand or you were in a dogfight and he got angles on you. And it’s not too tough to avoid the first

[autumn glade]

flying over the enemy territory makes you very volnerable to a wildcat just sitting ther shooting jets and helis, and once you use flares you're only safe for a few seconds, so knowing your target when you go into dangerous areas helps imo

Pan-asian coalition? Veeery interesting

Wonder if the lore will mention them any further

[gilded goblet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp3btqcGEBI

[tacit sphinx]

they’ve popped up already, not named but alluded to (nova group codex entry) and then in the map teaser images theres symbols that are very similar to the PAC logo (same white lotus design, just missing a couple small petals) so it’s safe to assume they’ll play a part in the upcoming season

i will say that tweet is attributing stuff that is not really confirmed as it’s bf bulletin which does have a tendency to report guesses and opinions or offhand remarks as fact, but in this case i can certainly see the coups being orchestrated by PAC

[torpid wadi]

Will be interesting to see PAC play their hand

To my knowledge the final stand isn’t canon so this is probably their earliest official appearance

[gilded goblet]

Hhhhhmmm

Alr GN BF

Reckon i should sleep mighty soon too

So, all we're getting is a vehicle buff? Lame. When are we getting rockets that can one-shot vehicles?

[robust vapor]

Artillery a joke hurr

[frozen loom]

[pine roost]

That seems to be more of a server issue than a stats issue. I’ve been seeing loads of clips of rockets not landing recently but that’s just hitreg

[robust vapor]

Even in BFV using that stationary howitzer doesn't 1 shot tanks

[frozen loom]

Put a gundam in the game.

Has @game_fabricator left EA already?

He was leading the team at @ridgelinegames tasked with creating the new #Battlefield campaign. His linkedIn profile now reads like he has left EA and his X account makes no mention of his role at Ridgeline anymore.

Kinda worrying 😐

FUCK

[mental delta]

I'll fuck them up so hard they won't show up ever again

😎

[pine roost]

Well that went well

[mental delta]

Huh are you sure ?

[fluid torrent]

Bring back commander mode

[pine roost]

Bring back companion apps

[mental delta]

I'd like it but as it's been said multiple times in here previously we probably won't see any big features like this being added in this game

Let's be honest, there are probably only 2 seasons left (7 and 8) and we won't see naval combat like some people asked, or battle pick-ups

Those are things most of us would have appreciated but they're probably limited in what they want/can do

Your only hope about all those features is that you could see those in the next game

But definitely not in this one

Sorry I began a monologue on myself

[fluid torrent]

Bruh you are correct, the next battlefield Better deliver

[mental delta]

I agree, I'm really hopeful and I want them to make a good game, Dice devs are talented af but I think they're just lead by a bunch of overpaid incompetent dudes who don't know shit about those games

[fluid torrent]

Return to the formula that made battlefield great, MASSIVE destruction!

[dreamy topaz]

Is it possible to increase the max minimap size for "On Foot" from 75 to higher? I know about changing manually to 150 but it'd be nice to leave it on auto so I don't have to swap it every time I hop in or out of an air vehicle

[mental delta]

Exactly, it requires 3 key elements and that's all : classes, good maps and immersion

[pine roost]

And hopefully they don’t butcher infantry gameplay

But it’s up to them. Just gonna keep on cruising and see what they do

[calm bison]

Well that’s just any decent FPS

Battlefield needs destruction, vehicles, and an awe factor

[ebon pilot]

there is no consensus on what a good battlefield game is

[calm bison]

I wonder how the community would react if DICE just stated that the next game is a remastered BF4 with no new elements

Just a graphical overhaul

That would be fucking hilarious

[ebon pilot]

I'd be PISSED

[pine roost]

Half would love it, half would call it lazy

I don’t get why so many people do just want the next mainline game to be some remaster, that wouldn’t go down well

Unless they meant that in a different way

[calm bison]

Well it’s just funny. People say they want to go back to BF4 so why don’t they just

Like, do that

[pine roost]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[calm bison]

I’m amazed tho. These people act like these games don’t have servers

[pine roost]

Played a round of locker yesterday just fine

[calm bison]

“Dude BF4/BFH/BF3 was so good! I miss it so much”

Like my guy these games still have server access

[tawny carbon]

BF4 is the best

[calm bison]

Go play them if you miss them that much

Literally nothing is stopping you

[pine roost]

‘No! ‘

[calm bison]

Exactly

[pine roost]

‘No because the only people left playing are really good!’

[calm bison]

Sounds like a skill issue

[tawny carbon]

cant if im perma banned

[ebon pilot]

that sounds like a mega skill issue

[calm bison]

Are you permabanned from BF4 as a whole or were you banned because a badmin couldn’t handle being shot down?

[tawny carbon]

as a whole from BF4DB servers aka all of them

[calm bison]

Damn

Super mega skill issue

[tawny carbon]

badmins man.

i can only play BF4 again if i make a whole new EA account or BF4 WR

im just waiting on BF4 WR. its finna be fun asf

[spare quest]

bf4 ain‘t worth it

[tawny carbon]

atleast badmins wont be on BF4 WR xD

[chilly jacinth]

[last willow]

BF4 is great

[rapid hemlock]

hello im having issues w my bf2042 can anyone try to help ?

[chilly jacinth]

google.com

[rapid hemlock]

it says to delete and redownload guess what i did and it did not change anything

[chilly jacinth]

theres more things you can try

[rapid hemlock]

i checked files and everything rebooted my pc from 0 nothing changed

[wheat sentinel]

bfh doesn't I tried before yesterday

[chilly jacinth]

just met my first blatant aimbotter in ages

[crude arch]

I been playing just jets on portal and I got so much better I stay behind them annd hit my shots

[pine roost]

Good stuff

[patent pivot]

same bro

im tired of the bf4 community

and pretty much 1 and V have similar problems, but not severe.
Hardline, well, game desperately needs a solo mode

[void gorge]

Good afternoon guys.. do some weapons have a "bug" in their damage? I was playing and that concussion grenade that "blinds" someone.. I realize that I throw it exactly where the enemy is but it doesn't do any damage.. and also that new "rpg" that arrived, I see that I send the bullet in the direction of the vehicle and not damage.. it gets to be discouraging

[crude arch]

Yall I fuck with the hydra missles on the jet they do so much damage to tanks

[drowsy meadow]

are you havin bad lag issues aswell?

[dark rose]

I do have lag issues.

[proud bay]

Is there any connection problem? I am stuck in a infinite loop on the network error; but is strange, I can play online to others BF...

[chilly jacinth]

im not having any connection issues on EU

[gusty spoke]

Guys

What map was teased on that trailer ?

Is it an og map

[boreal tendon]

What trailer?

[gusty spoke]

I’ll send the tiktok link

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeDeG51x/

People in comment section are going like ‘@user3968139916714: Yay throw backs!!! Spent so many hours on that map back in the day’

what map??

ffs

swear they have no brain cells

[coarse minnow]

You tripping dude, consoles do have native support and it's up to the game devs to allow it. It is unacceptable that we still don't have support on consoles by now on BF2042

[remote kiln]

why are you responding to a old message?

and no, they don't lol

[gusty spoke]

@remote kiln

What map was teased

[remote kiln]

bc2 map

[gusty spoke]

Which one

[coarse minnow]

Because I want to? I don't like people spreading misinformation...

[chilly jacinth]

valparaiso maybe

but its already in

[gusty spoke]

Oh god

What’s the point

dunno what they gonna do with battlefield in future @

They gonna run out of ideas

[gusty spoke]

It cant go on for hundred of years

[gusty spoke]

Ooo

is that already a map in the olde game

[chilly jacinth]

nope

[gusty spoke]

San Pedro de atacama

[gusty spoke]

https://youtu.be/4POVIl4zcB0?feature=shared

[chilly jacinth]

actually atacama desert is a bc2 map

[gusty spoke]

Yes

[remote kiln]

think you need to learn your information better buddy

[gusty spoke]

Neve played it

[chilly jacinth]

totally forgot it existed

[gusty spoke]

Ok thank you guys

also

I haven’t seen a hacker in bf2042 yet

Is it just not a thing ?

[quiet shell]

Marcus Lehto left Ridgeline, its so over for this franchise

[chilly jacinth]

there arent that many cheaters

[remote kiln]

hackers do exist yes

[chilly jacinth]

i met one today infact

[gusty spoke]

is the anti cheat too good or the game is just a bit dead

[spare quest]

I only saw them on TDM

[gusty spoke]

richochet on cod is soooo bad man

[remote kiln]

no it's not the anti cheat there's just not much of an incentive to cheat in a game like this

you can use blatant rage ones and still lose

[gusty spoke]

unless there was a battle royal

[remote kiln]

most people cheating in 2042 are using soft ones like wall hacks or soft locks, rage ones are very rare

[gusty spoke]

what’s the anti cheat called again

it’s like a bear

[remote kiln]

it uses EA anticheat

[gusty spoke]

Panda or smthin

[coarse minnow]

Then explain to me how me and a bunch of other players use MKB on cod/ Fortnite?

[remote kiln]

because it's implemented by the game developer dude on those games

it is not natively supported by the console maintainers

[gusty spoke]

wasn’t it originally easy anti cheat ? @remote kiln the panda one

[remote kiln]

yes

they switched over to EA anticheat

[gusty spoke]

they changed it or rebrand

ohhh

damn I think it was better with easy anti cheat ngl

[chilly jacinth]

it wasnt

[remote kiln]

no it was far worse lol

EA anticheat is much more of a invasive and enforced AC than EAC

[gusty spoke]

Apex still uses easy

[remote kiln]

apex uses easy anticheat because of Linux support

they want the game playable on the steam deck

[gusty spoke]

oh

what happened to the

bf 4 anti cheat

Forgot it’s name

[remote kiln]

punkbuster it was never a good anticheat

[gusty spoke]

is it still a thing 💀

[remote kiln]

no

[chilly jacinth]

dead af

[remote kiln]

it hasn't been since battlefield 4

[gusty spoke]

I wonder what happened to the devs and who pay for the anti cheat 💀

Servers

[remote kiln]

?

[gusty spoke]

I guess ea pays them to keep servers up

[remote kiln]

what are you talking about, battlefield 4 has custom rented servers you pay for

[gusty spoke]

Nah I mean the website

[remote kiln]

battlelog is still there

[gusty spoke]

pink busters website and the anti cheat server

[remote kiln]

punkbuster was not a server based anticheat, it was a client side AC

[chilly jacinth]

anticheat server

[remote kiln]

it never operated on a server

[gusty spoke]

oh right

my bad

I guess for the website then

Just shut it down 💀

What about bf1 and bfv anti cheat

[chilly jacinth]

useless

[gusty spoke]

does it even have one

[fickle wharf]

garbage

[gusty spoke]

Is it just a report and ban based

the manually go through it

[remote kiln]

no the games aren't maintained anymore

so nothing is done in regards to cheaters on those games

[gusty spoke]

I mean atleast crossplay isn’t a thing on them games

Can have a good experience on consoles

[coarse minnow]

How is the console registering the mouse input if "is not supported" dude? It is not a game feature only. You don't seem to own a console...

[chilly jacinth]

they do have fairfight

but i dunno if that shit ever worked

[gusty spoke]

that’s serverside

I swear I’ve seen that in a few other games

[remote kiln]

1: the game developer implements custom logic for handling the device detection of translating a keyboard to in-game rotational movement
2: that logic does not exist on the consoles, this is what supported natively means, the consoles just detect the device, they do not interface with the game logic translation, stop saying absurd things please, I have owned countless consoles

you are making yourself look silly

you went out of your way to necropost a comment made a week ago so please stop this needless nonsense

[gusty spoke]

smoked

nulo pal log out of 2024 you can’t have that mate

[remote kiln]

these users who think they have some divine right to correct "misinformation" they have no clue about in the first place are funny

[coarse minnow]

I hope to find the thing you are smoking because its GOOD

[remote kiln]

sure

if that floats your boat

[gusty spoke]

@remote kiln does software engineering in university make you lose hair

[remote kiln]

depends

[gusty spoke]

cus I chose software engineering and computer forensics

[remote kiln]

uni criteria per region is very different to each other

[gusty spoke]

as one of my options

[gusty spoke]

Liverpool uni

[remote kiln]

idk about Liverpool uni

[gusty spoke]

might just do computer forensics and see where that takes me

[remote kiln]

English uni degree classifications pretty straightforward I don't imagine it's too difficult

if you have never done engineering though you'll find it difficult

[weary oak]

@remote kiln fake mrbeast

[gusty spoke]

didn’t do computer science for GCSEs but for a level all I’ve been doing for 2 years is web development

basic programming

[remote kiln]

what year are you in for your degree?

[gusty spoke]

Final year of sixth form
