[next onyx]

I wasn't expecting getting such a multi with the scatter grenade.

[gilded goblet]

ew sweaty sundance player

[ivory canopy]

50 more XM kills/assists to go

[amber kelp]

really good
Yeah dice fans tricked me with this for bfv and swbf2 and both are still mid as fuck. Not buying it

[ivory canopy]

Holy shit the SPH is as OP as I thought it was!

[robust vapor]

S7 leaks pls

Show new weapon

[gilded goblet]

another on to T1

for all the sweats

[gilded goblet]

i don't use it

cuase it's a sweaty thing to use

[ivory canopy]

Too bad because I have a mastery level of 0 with it. xDDD

[gilded goblet]

so true

[ivory canopy]

The game describes it as having a small blast radius. My ass, small blast radius.

This motherfucker gets kills on me from like 10m away

and I use it and am able to treat enemies just as.

Truly the mark of an overpowered gadget

[robust vapor]

Despite the nerfs it's still op

[ivory canopy]

So true

[robust vapor]

Used to be much more ridiculous

With 2 extra rounds of it

[strong snow]

[vital quail]

They still haven't updated the description for it either, still says 2 shots

[ivory canopy]

Typical

[stone cradle]

Ripple is working on it. Seems like it will be seperate from the main game.

But I fear that if it's becomes a hit, it will be like Warzone all over again

EA giving all priority to that over regular BF mp

If that happens then I'm not touching the next game. I hate BR and all these extraction looter shooters.

[strong snow]

Yeah it’s just going to be another firestorm

[stone cradle]

I feel so bad for wishing it ill will but I really don't want it cannibalising regular MP too

[strong snow]

At least we’re going back to 64 players

[stone cradle]

But RIP 128

I actually liked it. It was just poorly implemented

[strong snow]

I think that was a bit too much

[stone cradle]

But I guess the easier solution is just to go back to 64

I see this title being a safe game. No real ambition, just to nail the foundations first so they don't somehow screw it up again

[strong snow]

I’ll be able to destroy my enemies with the F35 in the next Battlefield

[vital quail]

I love how I get disconnected and it says I was signed out of psn (I wasnt) and then also says player removed from game, all players disconnected

[safe verge]

On some real shit, fuck dice for making ANOTHER BATTLEFIELD BATTLE ROYALE!!

what the actual fuck!!

[tawny carbon]

Dice haven’t said anything, it’s just rumors

[gilded goblet]

ew

[fickle wharf]

source: my ass

[safe verge]

I just want a cold war battlefield with vietnam

[next onyx]

We know nothing about the next game.

Just wait for official information and quit complaining until then.

[safe verge]

I probably did jump the gun to be honest, that's on me

[patent pivot]

Full pledged solo mode in next game when

[vague horizon]

Me when I purposely spread misinformation on the internet

[safe verge]

Ea hasn't made a solid fps like battlefield 1 in a while

[next onyx]

EA doesn't develop games. They're a publisher.

[safe verge]

You know what I mean

[gilded goblet]

Dice is the enemy

[safe verge]

I doubt dice are in full control of the game direction anyways

Cold war battlefield would go so mf hard, or a Vietnam battlefield

[patent pivot]

Better solo mode in next game when

That's all I'm asking for

[remote kiln]

battlefield community see one aspect of a 3 part project and lose their minds over nothing
just another day

[remote kiln]

id be surprised if solo mode which isn't the campaign returns in any form

[strong snow]

[gilded goblet]

[pale kindle]

What time will the update be?)

[gilded goblet]

Time!

idk

don't even know the date

[chilly jacinth]

#direct-communication

[lone void]

Iirc the update said it was available to install at 9am GMT on my PS5 when it downloaded yesterday

So 20 mins

[lone void]

Hey, would you look at that

[bitter mulch]

Per next BF and the Battle Royale rumours...they should keep the 128p mode for BR

and 64p mulitplayer

[tawny carbon]

128p is the best lowkey…

Everyone on X is kinda disappointed about the rumor that it have a BR. Everyone else is saying just copy BF4 formula.

[remote kiln]

until servers start lagging shots don't fire you get rubber banding your ping goes to the moon, etc etc

[tawny carbon]

I never had an issue while playing 128p

Servers always been great for me set for when EA as a whole goes down. (I also don’t own the game on Steam)

[pine roost]

Where did that idea suddenly spout from?

[tawny carbon]

An article

[pine roost]

And where did they get the info from?

[tawny carbon]

Article is in this post https://x.com/bravointel/status/1762591193337135315?s=46

Battlefield News (@bravoINTEL) on X

Rumors on the next Battlefield:

-- Planned for October 2025
-- Will feature 64-player matches, four class system, destruction
-- Will also have a Free to Play Battle Royale mode
-- Game set in modern era (2025-2030)

(via Insider-Gaming)

Twitter · Feb 27, 2024, 9:31 PM

[pine roost]

Cause saying ‘ it’ll have a br ‘ is a claim anyone can come up with

[tawny carbon]

Basically.

I just want a decent BF title that is alike BF4 for the amount of content (weapons and maps) and modes. Set in modern with futuristic tech like how BF4 and 2042 did it. That’s all I want. As a new updated game.

[pine roost]

Indeed

And please, just feature the qol stuff we fought so hard for at launch

[tawny carbon]

That’s what I hope for but I will just wait and see when dice officially tell us the news. (Still gonna play it either way)

[pine roost]

If we have to wait another year for a squad system I’d lost my hair

But I also hope it isn’t a Vietnam setting. I hate nothing more than jungle maps

[ashen siren]

If the rumours are indeed true, I'm glad we won't be having any stupid futuristic crap

[tawny carbon]

I don’t wanna go back. Modern setting is the best setting

[quaint vector]

Here we go again.... People believing in rumors & "leaks" that will not come up as true and people get upset because they really believe that EA/DICE won't make the great game how people want from those rumors & "leaks"....

[pine roost]

Though regardless it’s going to be a long, agonising wait

[tawny carbon]

I look at rumors. But I never believe it till they say the news officially.

Leaks will prob come out next year when it comes closer to release like how it did for 2042.

[ashen siren]

You do realise that the Vietnam war wasn't just fought in jungles...there was heavy urban combat, sandy beachfronts, rice paddy fields, tunnels, waterways/rivers, hills (terrain just like you've seen in other BF games), etc. 😉

[pine roost]

The only time a leak has been true was when Tom predicted the entire setting, set of weapons and specialist setups. All the other hundreds of things should just be ignored

[tawny carbon]

Facts

But rn it’s way too early for that.

[pine roost]

And even then that was one thing he got right after about 20 different attempts

[ashen siren]

We've got 1.5yrs for the next game to be released...there is zero point speculating on anything. A lot can happen in that period of time. 😉

[pine roost]

Indeed

Like, they could add the terminids as a faction for all we know

Although I probably won’t see many since my Twitter feed is just people complaining about cod, and I don’t know how to change it to something I actually care about

Not something I’ll play, but I suppose if it brings people in then whatevs

But anyways, we’ve got the next season coming up soon 😎

Something tangible

Makes me wonder if there will be any more significant changes to gameplay

[torpid moon]

I really enjoyed Firestorm the time it lasted

[mental delta]

Me neither unless it makes focus more on the BR than on main game

Like COD with WZ

[pine roost]

sure, but like, what?

vehicles don't need any major tuning besides the nightbird, jets feel fine, infantry combat is good. I haven't heard any major complaints about strong weapons or gadgets for a while

[ashen siren]

Dammit! I wanted to get a cheeky quick game in before going to bed, but an update has screwed those plans up. 😦

[quaint vector]

Update took me 4 minutes, Its not even that big tho..

[ashen siren]

Ah ok. I can wait 4mins in that case...hehe!

[mental delta]

They're clearly installing a spying malware on players devices with that update

[ashen siren]

What does the update bring to the table??

[quaint vector]

Some coffee, tea, cookies...

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-update-notes-6-4-0

[pine roost]

changes to the impact position crosshair of helis

it's yellow now, which is nice

[ashen siren]

useless to me cos I don't fly, haha!

[next onyx]

That persistent server update was a true bummer.

I don't understand why they aren't doing anything to combat burn out.

[bitter mulch]

True, but this leaks are from Tom and what he leaked for BF2042 were indeed true soo

[near silo]

Damn, an update?

[pearl ridge]

Stealth chopper pilots have absolutely no right to complain about people taking potshots from indoors

[near silo]

So many new skins

[pearl ridge]

“Ooh you’re hiding” motherfucker your entire existence in the air is hiding

[mental delta]

He leaked tens of things and among all the crap he said some stuff was true

But it was when game was close to launch

And before that he had been wrong on many things

[pine roost]

?
Love the logic on their end

[near silo]

Bro still trying to delete heli assist

[bitter mulch]

Not really, what was he wrong about?

[pine roost]

IT WILL HAPPEN ONE DAY

[near silo]

I mean, it’s easier to fly without it. It’s for newbies

[pine roost]

THAT'S THE ISSUE
YOU CAN'T TURN IT OFF

i would put 'fix' but that implies I want it

and 'please fix it so that turning off flight assist actually disables it like the settings page says it does' is a bit too long

[next onyx]

Hypocritically I hate the stealth chopper yet it's the only thing I can aim with using the .50's.

[near silo]

Game is already great, just feels like EA/DICE put it on the back burner.

[mental delta]

Well, dude literally said BF 2021 would have a single player campaign featuring conflict between NATO and Russian forces in Eastern Europe with a SAS operator helping "local resistance" to fight against the enemy lol

BF2042 doesn't feature a campaign, it doesn't feature countries as you're fighting for specialists lol and ot doesn't feature Eastern Europe maps either

[bitter mulch]

Never heard of this, where did u find this

[near silo]

Time for Liber-Tea

[pine roost]

Oh yeah I remember that one

eventually he did get the setting right

just took a while lol

[mental delta]

It was "leaked" a few months before the true announcement I think

[mental delta]

So I ain't crazy lol

[fiery umbra]

Hello all I have a question , is Battlefield 5 still good? Have they resolved the issue with cheaters? Or should I play Battlefield 2042? Another question is the following one, in Battlefield 2042 is possible to launch air supports like the jb 2 rocket in Battlefield 5?

[mental delta]

It's literally invaded with cheaters on PC lol

And no

BF2042 doesn't feature that call-in system BFV had

No smoke barrage, no artillery support and no rockets

[fiery umbra]

FML, thank you. I should probably play Squad LoL

[pine roost]

well only one person can call in air support in squad

[mental delta]

No problems lol, yes if you're seeking a more immersive experience I wouldn't advise you to play BF2042

[pine roost]

besides, the players are the air support

[fiery umbra]

You have to excuse myself , I return back from Battlefield 4 lol. And I'm playing Helldivers 2 at the moment, so I'm in Hype with the Big Boom Eagle bombing

LOL

[pine roost]

I can tell

go for it

[mental delta]

Lol BF2042 isn't that good for air combat imo, if you're seeking air-land type of battles idk which games you could play ngl

[pine roost]

especially since jets aren't anti ground focussed

tbh, even bf4 or 1 has more of a relationship between air and ground when it comes to planes

[mental delta]

Exactly game lacks A-10 type of jets

Jets in BF2042 are basically just anti-air

[ashen siren]

Yeah I don't experience jets as much of a threat to ground troops/vehicles, they tend to focus more on other aircraft. Choppers on the other hand...haha!

[fickle wharf]

u sure about that?
hydra pods a joke to you?

[dire hawk]

game is unplayable

[ashen siren]

???

[dire hawk]

servers are like, "oh you shot 5 bullets to this guy, let's count 3"

[quaint vector]

I don't have hitreg issues for like almost 1.5 year now and I played on multiple Platforms

[fickle wharf]

works on my machine

[mental delta]

Ho yeah there are those lol, but many people don't play jets enough to unlock those, many people probably don't know it even exists

[pine roost]

Yeah. I don’t mind that really though. The guns are still good against infantry, just don’t have as potent of an aoe anymore

[ashen siren]

I literally just learned there were hydra rockets for jets. Never knew that!

[dire hawk]

then activates the event graph in the network section of the settings, you'll see how many times the servers just like ignore the bullet you shoot

[dire hawk]

no problems then

[ashen siren]

Not something I've experienced tbh

[mental delta]

Yeah idk I just feel like BF2042 lacks diversity in everything like maps got no diversity and vehicle gameplay neither

[austere flare]

STAFF shells are such a disappointment

[remote kiln]

why 45hz tick rate instead of 60 to support 128 players was the word mistake this game made

[dire hawk]

you just don't notice it because you're not good enough, don't take it personnally, it's just a fact

[remote kiln]

that's absurd to say

[dire hawk]

64 players servers should have 60hz

[pine roost]

At least it isn’t like the old days where you’d shoot people and there’s a chance they are just invincible

[dire hawk]

at least

[next onyx]

I don't notice the hit reg but I notice my missed shots.

@remote kiln try tactical compensator on the scar by the way.

You can extend your bursts out a little longer and it feels super accurate.

[mental delta]

Mdr salut, j'ai vu une de tes dernières vidéos, t'aurais pas changé les couleurs de l'ATH pour que ça ressemble plus à BF4 ?

[pine roost]

Fr

[remote kiln]

ye I use TC as a secondary warhawk as primary, don't like using it with extended

[next onyx]

Did you French take over for a second crab.

I hate warhawk.

[fickle wharf]

pair them with a friend using soflam and ur golden

[next onyx]

It fucks up the accuracy.

I notice it and it drives me insane.

Tac comp keeps the accuracy for another 3 to 5 shots.

[remote kiln]

bursting with extended feels weird with tac cause of the dispersion diff

[mental delta]

No I didn't

[dire hawk]

oui, j'etais tombé sur un post reddit pour le faire et ça rend plutot bien :d (c'etait quoi la vidéo d'ailleurs ?)

[next onyx]

Dom dom dom dom som with very high accuracy.

Extended barrel just

I think it's a straight dps down but there may be merit in it.

I'm mentally used to adjusting my aim around 600 rpm.

[mental delta]

Je peux pas l'envoyer ici mais c'est l'avant dernière je crois

[remote kiln]

the drop in DPS isn't worth it, it feels so bad

[next onyx]

Can you guys speak English.

[dire hawk]

sure, sorry for that

[next onyx]

Scar has a 540 MS velocity which isn't too good.

Well no it's not not good but it's not awful either.

[ashen siren]

I've almost Tier 1 on the M416...it's a pretty good weapon imo

[next onyx]

M416 has the same velocity as the sfar and it hurts it.

[austere flare]

That’s the thing

[next onyx]

Despite sharing the exact same MS TTK.

If it had 670 ms velocity it'd be way better.

[remote kiln]

faster reload tho

[next onyx]

Scars btk makes it way easier to use to be honest.

[fickle wharf]

huh, so you still find them ass or ???

[ashen siren]

The weapon I've fallen in love with the most is the humble M16

[next onyx]

I love the m416 dude but I can't feel it in this game.

I hate short barrel but if it had that I wouldn't even mind.

[remote kiln]

cause it was busted in bf3 lmao

thing was a smg

[next onyx]

M416 wasn't even that bad there.

It was a super well rounded gun.

[mental delta]

Has SDM ever been in AOW ? Like temporarily ?

[next onyx]

Bf4's m416 even more so.

Bfh's was a completely flipped as fuck gun though.

850 rpm 30m 3HK.

[mental delta]

Would be cool in BF2042 with specialists, wasted opportunity

[solid imp]

There was a weekly portal game mode at one time which at least locked unique specialists per squad but no... Not SDM

Would be nice

[remote kiln]

it outcompeted the other ARs because of suppression mainly, being able to reload in half a second and dump a mag has its merits

excluding the m16 or 94

[solid imp]

Game already has the model baked in with HZ just make it DM instead

[mental delta]

Ho, I thought there was already-made setup for SDM in Portal at least

[next onyx]

I think the m16 was generally better overall.

But the m416 having that super quick reload was good enough.

God dude fuck suppression.

Dogshit mechanic.

[solid imp]

Maybe I missed a portal update but I think it still only lets you force players to team 1 or 2

[next onyx]

Most it should do is give you tunnel vision and maybe increase recoil?

But even so.

As long as it doesn't interfere too much with your ability to shoot back I'm fine for that.

And yes I did realise what i said.

[mental delta]

Ha it's sad, SDM is good overall but would have been even more interesting in BF2042 on small maps layouts

[solid imp]

Agreed SDM is a good one

I tried at one time to kludge a kind of SDM mode in portal but it's really not good... Lots of work to calculate "squad" members and try to do damage to friendlies and no spotting etc.. bad

[spare pasture]

I wonder if we get the trailer next week

[mental delta]

Ha yes it doesn't look optimal lol, Dice should just make a pre setup SDM mode and make it playable in AOW imo

[mental delta]

Depens when update drops, they've been purposedly vague on when update comes out so I'd say mid/ end of March with trailer next week or even the week after

[void gorge]

Good morning.. Can anyone explain to me the logic behind the damage? I was playing and my health was relatively full and I found an enemy with very low health... but at x1, I realized that he managed to kill me despite me seeing that I was sending bullets towards him

[pearl ridge]

Depends. Could be NetCode, could just be that you missed

[fringe oak]

i think thats just skill issue

[chilly dove]

Can't wait for Season 7. Looking forward to another season where I can get wrecked in my spawn or do it to enemy like i just did because no spawn AA gun/system. </sarcasm>

[lone void]

I mean you don't need a season to be active to experience the hell that is aircraft sweats

They're still playing now

[mental delta]

Really makes you wonder what season 7 vehicle is if there's even one

[lone void]

Always

[mental delta]

Season 6 vehicle was just troll at this point

[lone void]

Pondhawk haha

[void gorge]

what would be NetCode

[mental delta]

🤢 🤮

[void gorge]

well.. I know I'm not bad at the game so much so that I have several mastery achievements with different weapons so in my conclusion it's a game bug

[mental delta]

My general K/D on my 500 hours played is negative, it ain't the game though

[stone cradle]

They promised stationary AA in other maps already

[fringe oak]

im just joking btw

[stone cradle]

where are they

[mental delta]

I recall that when season 5 released but it was like 10 months ago ?

[stone cradle]

Yeah

https://tenor.com/view/tyler-lie-lol-not-telling-the-truth-that-was-a-lie-gif-13885912

[mental delta]

Basically yes, hope the 2 maps thing isn't though

[stone cradle]

We have the Peru map, but what about the Bahrain/Qatar map

What could they be making over there

If only Temporyal could come back

[chilly dove]

"We heard you about the complete OPness of air vehicles so we have buffed air vehicles and completely removed all means to fight against them. Also new in Season 7, more annoying squad leader target mark reminders. Now if you spend 1 second not marking a site we will blare nails on chalkboard to remind you and punish you with more nails on chalkboard until you smash your headphones or speakers. We are working on a way to spawn all infantry immobilized and directly infront of enemy tank barrels and are improving controller auto aim so that now they dont even have to touch the controller to play the game well"-Lady in british accent who works for EA/DICE

[chilly dove]

Only took 7 seasons

[brittle comet]

Hello has anyone updated uptade?????i ask from uk

[chilly dove]

They were too busy making breakaway and hourglass less fun and more abusive to spawn on

[lone void]

Yes

[chilly dove]

Reducing the time it takes for enemy vehicles to spawn farm

[lone void]

If more people played engineer properly instead of abusing self heals as medic, we wouldn't have this problem

[lone void]

[chilly dove]

[brittle comet]

ok, but season 7? it's not updated either on Steam or on GeForceNow, you can't see anything here

[lone void]

Season 7 isn't out yet

It was a patch

Minor update

[mental delta]

Bahrain map isn't real, as someone said it, it's just Hourglass stadium

[stone cradle]

[mental delta]

[chilly dove]

This idea of forcing people to heal mates or repair or carry launchers when air vehicles can just sneak up behind infantry like

[stone cradle]

DICE would be stupid to that.. Surely..

[chilly dove]

"Nothing personal

Kid"

[mental delta]

Yeah it's not like they already made some incredibly stupid moves not so long ago

No for real there are really 2 new maps

Thing is : in reality we get 1 map

Season is usually 3 months long

But season 6 has been 6 months long

So in reality it's like we got 3 maps in 3 different seasons

[torpid wadi]

Gimme mg3

[chilly dove]

"Master, i know you told me to never use this forbidden technique, forgive me just this once as I destroy enemy spawn"-every controller air vehcile sweat

[mental delta]

We would have even lost 3 months for nothing if I ain't wrong and if season 7 is 6 months long with 2nd map coming after 3 months in-season

[mental delta]

Hahaha, Dice said NO

[torpid wadi]

I shall seduce dice to say yes

[mental delta]

I'll finance you, ask for fucking A-10 by the same occasion

[torpid wadi]

Yeah I can do that

[chilly dove]

If they fixed all the problems for real id be happy with the game as is. No new content required.

[torpid wadi]

I can’t wait for them to finish up on 2042 so I can bitch and moan about how battlefield is dead and they’ve abandoned 2042

[mental delta]

Bruh WTF is wrong with you ? What do you mean "now new content required" ?

[torpid wadi]

Man I wish they gave more stuff for V

[mental delta]

Are you out of your goddamn mind ?

[chilly dove]

Then delay BF 7 until... 2027 because you know that ish aint gonna be ready for a 2025 release. Aint no mutha...

[mental delta]

Me too, but BF2042 came in lol

[mental delta]

Nobody wants to wait again, 4 years of waiting before last game and next one is already too long

It should be 2

[torpid wadi]

I can’t wait for the next battlefield to release and have people pretend like they’ve always liked 2042

It’s impressively consistent

[mental delta]

Ho boy no matter how bad next game is I'll still shit on this one as hard as I can

Worst BF ever made

Still not a BF

Imo

[torpid wadi]

I can’t wait for hardline 2

Harderline

[mental delta]

Agreed

We don't want it, we need it

[torpid wadi]

I need it

[mental delta]

I do too

[torpid wadi]

A shame the bf community were lil bitches then

[chilly dove]

Nah we can wait. We want good games. The rest of you people are sus a f. Rushing an already rushed studio and industry. Making a good BF game requires following a pretty solid set of design choices that takes time to implement properly.

[patent pivot]

I'm just here waiting for WR to come out

[pine roost]

given game dev times, I'd say 3-4 years will probably be the average moving forward

[torpid wadi]

You don’t understand man, I am desperate to shit on a new battlefield

[pine roost]

but of course this next one was held back by how much had to be remade from scratch in this one

[torpid wadi]

2042 has gotten too stale for that

[mental delta]

Dude we would have already waited 4 fucking years by the time next game releases it's gonna be more ready than BF2042, if your passion is waiting just go to fucking license plate services

[mental delta]

WTF is even that again ?

[pine roost]

the modded thing

[patent pivot]

Ye that

[mental delta]

We're all dude, take it like a grown ass man and shit on the current game instead ok ? The pain applies to all of us

[mental delta]

BF4 mod ?

[patent pivot]

Yes

[mental delta]

People are gonna play it for 2 days and drop it

[pine roost]

it'll probably keep a small community for a while

[patent pivot]

I can give less of a fuck of player count

I want modding and AI bots

[pine roost]

venice unleashed was about the same

[patent pivot]

I know WR will be better than VU

First is they're keeping the rank system intact

[pine roost]

but yeah, you don't need player counts anyway

are you going to be modding in your own ai or using someone else's?

[chilly dove]

This guy likes to rush game devs with a passion. Hasnt seen the trend of overworked devs beholden to greedy publishers and the constant rehashed divied up trash as a service they put out these days across so many game genres. But O
K modern spoiled gamer dude slave to mediocrity. Go off

[patent pivot]

And I can hope the server management UI is better than using procon

[mental delta]

BF6 development reportedly began at minimum in 2022 (maybe even sooner if we're lucky which I think as they didn't drop any updates for BF2042 for 6 months after launch), so it's gonna be in development for 3-4 years which is reasonnable time for AAA game

[patent pivot]

The project will have bots on release

I'm not too sure if it'll support all maps and game modes

[pine roost]

and how are the bots in it

[patent pivot]

How what

[chilly dove]

Brokenpreorderpromisesmajorlaunchletdownfield 7

[pine roost]

well, how are they to play against

[mental delta]

Nah I don't want it to be rushed but I'd like to still be alive by the time it releases though, 4 years is supposedly enough for AAA title so I don't see the point of making people wait 2 additionnal years for a product they're asking so bad because last game released was shit

[patent pivot]

They claim the bots will be advanced

[pine roost]

given it's a custom implementation and not like 2042's bots idk what the differences are

[patent pivot]

Like utilizing most weapons and gadgets in the game

And have specific play style of behaviors

[mental delta]

Just don't fucking preorder for fuck's sake

[patent pivot]

Perhaps

[pine roost]

Might be fun looking into how to actually make them

[patent pivot]

And I do hope bots will be a commander

[chilly dove]

But guy what if this game STOPPED being bad in the meantime?

[patent pivot]

That im also excited

[chilly dove]

Also how ia 4 years gonna kill you? You old? My condolences lmao

[mental delta]

Don't get me wrong

Game improved a lot

But it's still majorly a failed BF game

[quaint vector]

Yall should take a chill pill 💊

[mental delta]

It's fun, it's playable, but it's still far from what most people among this community expect from a BF game

Moreover it's terribly lacking content

[stone cradle]

"maybe we were too rough on 2042 guys.."

[patent pivot]

OCEAN 🌊

[stone cradle]

[chilly dove]

Just cuz launch bad doesnt mean game is forever if it improves. But it still needs more work.

[mental delta]

I'm sorry, I first was trolling a little bit by behaving like the overreacting dude but I caught myself at my own game, Guasta is nowhere to be blamed, just me being a moronic idiot as usual

[pine roost]

gotta say their commitment to wanting to improve it has been commendable

[mental delta]

Yeah where's naval combat ?

[pine roost]

never seen so much community involvement and feedback implemented

[patent pivot]

Where gunship

Where gigantic missile

[mental delta]

AC-130 ?

[patent pivot]

Yes duh

Did you not know gunship existed for 3 and 4

[mental delta]

I agree but they had no other choice though, it was either that or they made themselves so much bad advertising that the franchise was almost over (it wouldn't have been over though but people would have shitted on them for the 3 next years)

[chilly dove]

Also i never do preorder but they should release game when done insteas of when EA ceo needs a new yacht.

[mental delta]

I do, I literally played those lol

[patent pivot]

[mental delta]

I couldn't agree more but unfortunately for us EA CEO doesn't

[chilly dove]

Where dat orange name guy? How many yaxhts is EA ceo at now? 9? 16?

[mental delta]

AC-130 would be perfect on some maps tbh, like Hourglass or Hourglass... or maybe Hourglass as well

[patent pivot]

And how Will each team get the gunship

[pine roost]

wouldn't be too much fun for those on the ground
especially given how the damn transport helis were so opressive for the longest time

[mental delta]

Orange name dude as you call him is just moderator lol, he isn't invited to yacht parties yet

[mental delta]

The team with more Angel players wins it automatically

[patent pivot]

[chilly dove]

Yet lmao

[pine roost]

actually scratch that, this is fair

[mental delta]

AC-130's engine fails
Angel :**Don't worry ! This is just how it works out sometimes

[mental delta]

Totally fair imo, nobody plays poor lad anymore

[patent pivot]

I sometimes do

Ammo crate and mini grenade

Like a baby mortar

[mental delta]

I do as well but he feels underpowered compared to Falck

[patent pivot]

Look I play him as an ammo hog

[quaint vector]

[patent pivot]

And laying down smoke

[chilly dove]

"Today? Today Im proud"-Paik as its about to crash

[patent pivot]

Imagine

Instead of gunship exploding in the sky

It descends to the ground in fiery way

[mental delta]

I'm gonna C4 this plane quicker than she can say those lines

[pine roost]

I'm ready for round 2

[mental delta]

Like BF1 zeppelin ? And then you can fight among the destroyed thing over the ground

[patent pivot]

Ye

[mental delta]

I think we should both stop takin copium lol

[patent pivot]

Wat

[pine roost]

some more dynamic changes to maps would be good to see back again I won't lie

just nothing that makes it worse to play

[mental delta]

We're on copium, you're under the influence of copium, I'm under the influence of copium

[patent pivot]

FLOOD 🌊

[chilly dove]

They really can afford to delay the game for a solid engine though. Just saying

[patent pivot]

Earthquake 🫨

[mental delta]

Levolution was probably one the most outstanding features seen in a FPS game the last decade and it's not exploited, I recall everyone talking about it, even players who had never played any BF game prior to that, well especially those players in facts

[chilly dove]

Cuz there are still core issues at large with this game

[pine roost]

it's easy to sell when big crazy events like that are in it

[mental delta]

The engine is ok, it's Frostbite but some updated version and now Dice devs are used to it thanks to their experience with BF2042

[chilly dove]

Ha.... hahaha....

[patent pivot]

We don't have earthquake yet

That change terrain

[mental delta]

Yeah I know, BF2042 is some really crazy first time to get used to BF engine

[mental delta]

Yes I'd like to see that so much, there so many events Levolution could feature like flooded areas or burning hills

[patent pivot]

meteor shower Armageddon

[mental delta]

Yeah let's not go too far but maybe some crashing satellite would be cool like in BF2042 ?

Isn't it Dice ?

[chilly dove]

How many brand new studio are working on this game again? No one except who predicted input routine lag that made aiming horrible especially on PC? How many games in is BF2042 in the fanchise? Quality Assurance is clearly not a myth to these guys?

[mental delta]

Isn't it Dice ?

[patent pivot]

Imagine sandstorm

[mental delta]

Ridgeline games on campaign, Dice on MP, Ripple Effect on BR

[mental delta]

Ho that...

Sandstorm from BF4 feels better imo

Because it lasts for longer and is more intense

[patent pivot]

🚨

Sandstorm be like

[ivory pecan]

anyone playing bf2042 atm?

[mental delta]

Yeah it's just red screen effect lol

[patent pivot]

Also

Ground assault when

Aka carrier assault

[pine roost]

if the sandstorm had a larger radius of visibility so I could still play at mid range but the long range snipers are blocked then I'd be happy :)

[chilly dove]

Cant wait until EA relases map editor so we can make actually good maps and show them how it is done. Then get hired by dice cuz we better only to immediately leave DICE and join Embark studios. Yeaaaah you heard me

[patent pivot]

Don't forget include AI bot tools

[gritty dew]

i would like to see a sandstorm engulfing everything and making everything super dark and not loke bf4 because the sandy in bf4 sucked

[gritty dew]

eww noo thanks map editors are bad and shouldnt exist in battlefield or call of duty we dont need 1000000 of maps you love this one map this person created but a week later the server dies no one plays it and you cant enjoy your map no more

[chilly dove]

This such a personal anecdote from you hahaha. Make good maps you scr... alright ill chill heh

[gritty dew]

i dont know what anecote mean

[pine roost]

I just want to make dust 2

[chilly dove]

Lmao, it means example or tale

[calm bison]

I love the negativity double standard for the next game

[ivory canopy]

Oh my God. I love the map de_dust.

[gritty dew]

its a good example or taste

[ivory canopy]

I can pwn so many noobs on it.

[gritty dew]

cod and bf will never have map editors So lets leave this topic

[pine roost]

I mean, they could do

[calm bison]

People say that they’re not going to believe any rumors regarding the next battlefield game, everything is unproven until it’s been revealed, but wait a minute the next game is rumored to have a free BR? Oh man I gotta take this seriously!

[pine roost]

they've just gone and added game logic editors, so a map editor is potentially on the cards

no assumptions though. Just if they continue down the 'make your own mode' route then they might be at least considering it at some point

[ivory canopy]

de_dust but on BF2042 would be funny

[calm bison]

From how the rumors are going it looks like DICE is playing it safe and honestly that’s probably the best bet after the receptions of both BFV and 2042

[ivory canopy]

They very well should.

[chilly dove]

I mean some ppl are in a rush, i will wait and so csn everyone else. How many games with horrid launches and overworked staff before EA and other triple A studios learn?

[pine roost]

playing it safe as in what?

[ivory canopy]

BF2042 dropped with probably the worst first impression I've ever seen.

[calm bison]

Next game will have classes again, will be 64 players, destruction, and is supposedly set in 2025-2030

[gritty dew]

game editors is just an idea that looks good overhead once you play it its terrible

[pine roost]

oh here come the leaks again

[calm bison]

So expect some BS Middle Eastern conflict

These are rumors

[ivory canopy]

Return of MEC

[gritty dew]

starting with bf2025 heavily rumored to have flight assist

[pine roost]

;(

[calm bison]

I’m gonna do the thing every internet person does and hope the ones I like are real and the ones I don’t like are fake

[pine roost]

real

[chilly dove]

I just want balanced specialists. More cool ones. No gadget or weapon restrictions. Its a video game

[ivory canopy]

I do like the plus system from BF2042 tbh. Swapping between attachments, ammo types is pretty nice.

[pine roost]

is fine

[ivory canopy]

BF2042 launched with no gadget or weapon restrictions between classes.

So you'd see Angels everywhere running stingers or Recoilless M5s

[gritty dew]

actually battlefield V did this the best

[chilly dove]

Then again a Battlefield realism dialed up mode or game would slap. And no BF has ever felt like that anyway.

[ivory canopy]

I had a match where I was Angel and basically created a one-man AA silo.

[gritty dew]

no thanks go play arma

[pine roost]

rao on launch was busted because of that

[ivory canopy]

So true

[chilly dove]

Arma maybe dialed up a bitt too far haha

[ivory canopy]

So tbh I'm glad there's some gadget restriction.

[pine roost]

no gadget restrictions just made it feel rather dull

[calm bison]

I’m happy with how DICE managed to funnel the specialists into classes

[pine roost]

it was gustaf or ammo box, that was really all you ever needed to run

[calm bison]

While weapons aren’t restricted to class, the preferred weapon has a proficiency

[chilly dove]

And dont be like this, games can support mulitple modes. Or would you like us all able to only use ARs and play only rush mode....

[calm bison]

And I will take advantage of it

[ivory canopy]

Yeah. Sniper rifle proficiency with recon felt weak to me tbh

[patent pivot]

More mode is nice

No more 24/7 conquest, BT

[ivory canopy]

The others are fine though

[chilly dove]

I dont like breakthrough or rush but by all means ppl please play em

[patent pivot]

Do you hate one way game mode

[ivory canopy]

I T1'd all the recon specialists before the XCE was released. Used it as Irish. Didn't seem to be significant a difference to me. Of course, doesn't help I hated the XCE.

[fiery shoal]

Oh no 2042 was supposed to be a br comments incoming

[pine roost]

?

[chilly dove]

And 128 is manageable for a BF game. Hell any amount is. But i feel like these 20 minute games are too short for a battle

[patent pivot]

Why do they avoid 64 rush

That annoys me

[pine roost]

no clue

[sweet frigate]

Hey new here was wondering if anyone would like to play together? Kinda new to the game but want to play in a squad considering no one talks in chat haha

[pine roost]

best place to go would be #lfg-crossplay

[mental delta]

It was good in BF4 for what it was, it broke the landscape and reduced visibility for everyone

[lilac dust]

It's time for a name change. I will wear this to my grave. The only ever BP I ever missed out on.

[amber kelp]

Nowhere close to the BF1 sandstorm though

[arctic grove]

Anyone know how to make 2042 feel more like bf1? Also why is the aim assist so fucking strong😭😭

[remote kiln]

by playing bf1

[pine roost]

shocker

Twitter · Feb 28, 2024, 3:25 PM

WE GOT THE FIRST ONE

Poor lad is risking it all

[mental delta]

Didn't play it a lot so idk

[royal swan]

Oh man

I think if the next bf fails hard like 2042, I think I would just move away from triple A.

[mental delta]

We gotta see, for the moment it doesn't look good but it doesn't look bad either

We just don't have many infos

But I'd say it's gonna be in development for longer than BF2042

[royal swan]

All the good games are indie games and they are killing it this year. My hope for triple a is on battlefield as they have some resemblance of respect unlike other triple A companies

[mental delta]

1.5 year of development isn't comparable to like the 4 years BF6 is gonna have

[mental delta]

I agree but I don't really play indie games, there are just a few AAA that aren't catastrophic and fun to play and I stick to that

To me next BF is like a ride or die

It either brings back fans interest in the franchise

Or kills it for the last time

[royal swan]

They have no excuses anymore

They had some with 2042

But they don't have any for the next game

2042 was developed at a bad time during a bad environment with devs who have no good bf experience

Now we have a better time and a better environment, devs who have gained feedback and experienced devs who came back.

[stone cradle]

change the aim response curve in settings to the BF1 preset

[stone cradle]

And DICE is entirely focused on the MP

Not campaign or the BR.

4 whole years for the MP

We better have plenty of content on launch. And it better be good if they're focusing only on that for 4 years.

[mental delta]

Not really lol they just made up some

[mental delta]

That's the good part imo yes

What I hope the most, like more than absolutely everything else is that the game doesn't feature characters

Just random grunts

With no personality

No random voice

So basically factions

[stone cradle]

I think they'll be trying to please as many people as possible now

So I legit see them trying to recreate the feel of BF3

[mental delta]

And I'd like to have more factions than just Russia and Yankees but I won't ask for too much

[stone cradle]

Which I would love. I always expected 2042 to be a modern BF3

[mental delta]

I'd like some immersive game yes

[stone cradle]

With them teasing the PAC in that picture of one of the S7 maps I see them adding them

[mental delta]

I don't think so, well not in next BF because it reportedly happens before BF2042 and therefore PAC doesn't exist yet

[plush echo]

Why do people love battlefield 3

isn’t bf4 better

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 2042 expectations was supposed to be Battlefield 1/4 combined

[stone cradle]

BF4 feels like BF3 downgraded in every way

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 3 & 4 were similar but the mechanics for gameplay was downgraded

In BF4

[stone cradle]

BFV was perfect in almost everyway

I'd be fine with a modern version of that too

[arctic grove]

Me too

The next Battlefield game is supposed to be announced next year and I hope DICE learned there lessons with BF2042

[calm bison]

As someone who loves BFV to death

Nah man

The game does a lot right, don’t get me wrong

But it misses the mark in plenty of areas

[stone cradle]

BFV took the best from other titles honestly.

[plush echo]

Ok

[stone cradle]

Like being able to take ammo from engineers

[calm bison]

I’m still confused as to why we have 2 separate conquest playlists. Literally what is the point

[plush echo]

So for you bf3 was the best ?

[stone cradle]

yeah imo.

[calm bison]

Why did we remove Frontlines, Domination, and limit them to Limited Time Gamemodes?

Why aren’t modes like Airborne or Final Stand separate gamemodes from Grand Ops?

[plush echo]

I guess they wanted to be different from cod

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 4 is the best for me then Battlefield 3/Battlefield Bad Company 2/ Battlefield 5/Battlefield 1

[calm bison]

There are also a myriad of balance decisions left unfixed because of the rushed abandonment

AA still has a range of 850 meters, which is stupidly long

The Spitfires still have that annoying auto horizon bug

[stone cradle]

What do you mean, it makes complete sense

[calm bison]

The Type 2A’s existence

[calm bison]

No it doesn’t

Why do we need 2 separate playlists

[stone cradle]

One is infantry focused, the other is larger with a focus on vehicular combat too

It's good to give people options.

[calm bison]

Ok if that were true, why is Arras and Narvik in the playlist?

And why is Solomon Islands in Strategic?

[stone cradle]

I mean why do you think people get angry when redacted 24/7 gets taken off the playlist

[calm bison]

Thats why we have a server browser

The only good thing about Tactical Conquest is that it keeps the level 500 sweatlords out of Strategic

[plush echo]

Ngl bf1 just has satisfying gun firing and scopes and the environment. The only thing I like about 2042 is the kill sound and some of the operator skills

[calm bison]

BFV also has a massive plane problem

[stone cradle]

[calm bison]

And I fuckin love the planes in BFV

But they are stupid OP and it’s a massive gap between the experienced pilots and new pilots

Sure, an experienced pilot will win

But the new guys have no chance

[plush echo]

Next bf should be based on vietnam please

[stone cradle]

I think people will get annoyed if we went back to a non-modern combat game this early

[plush echo]

Jokes on them, they don’t realize it’s a slippery slope

I need me a dense jungle map with rain falling

[calm bison]

Well current rumors have the next game set within the next 5 years

But since it’s a fictional conflict

It could be anything

[ebon pilot]

it doesn't look like nothing because it's a hallucination we don't really know anything

[plush echo]

If this next battlefield fails at lunch the franchise will die inevitably

[stone cradle]

DICE will become an Apex support studio

[plush echo]

Well at that point just dissolve lol

[stone cradle]

I wish they just took 2042 out of the timeline

[calm bison]

But why? The story is fine

[stone cradle]

But that would be stupid, but man, going back to classes knowing that eventually they become no-pats..

Everything else from the story is nearly perfect, but no-pats just don't make sense

[calm bison]

At this point 2042 is bridging the gap between BF4 and 2142

[stone cradle]

So they eventually just go back to classes?

Maybe that's how they'll end the narrative in this game

With S9 or 10 or whatever

[calm bison]

Considering we already have classes back in 2042

The game will probably end in the second ice age

[ebon pilot]

"but it's not real classes"

https://tenor.com/view/reupload-doraemon-doraemon-angry-gif-3795486608840357480

[calm bison]

Average r/Battlefield2042 member

[stone cradle]

we have classes back, yes. But we don't really have factions back.

But oh well I guess that was always going to be a problem when you have the exact same specialists on both teams

I'll be happy just to see proper uniform soldiers again that correspond with their faction

[stone cradle]

The 2042 sub is fine.

The main Battlefield sub however..

Can't say anything positive about current Battlefield at all

"DAE think Battlefield Hardline was underrated?"

[proud sparrow]

i hope the new battlefield will bring back the singleplayer campaign

[patent path]

the most senile subreddit

"do you remember when bf used to be good ehhh it's 6 o'clock time for a bf-hate bingo"

[stone cradle]

Man I legit got downvoted to oblivion for stating that BF4 was also horribly broken on launch

[calm bison]

This tracks

[patent pivot]

And or have AI bots in solo mode

[calm bison]

r/Battlefield can be personified by the Veteran from BFFs but infinitely more crotchety

[stone cradle]

"Battlefield V has actually always been good guys, 2042 is not lol, now give upvotes"

[patent path]

doesn't matter how good or bad the next game is, 2042 will be considered underrated by that subreddit

[stone cradle]

When that Henderson article was posted there people didn't even read the damn thing. They just read the headline and thought the next BF will only be a battle Royale

[calm bison]

Remember folks - BF2042’s terrible launch is totally different from BF4’s terrible launch because checks notes the core of the game in 2042 is inherently terrible?

[patent path]

unbreakable cycle they've put themselves in

[stone cradle]

And whoever pointed it out were ignored and downvoted

[patent pivot]

There's a mild difference between them;

[stone cradle]

I seriously don't get them

[patent pivot]

4 has personality

2042 doesn't

[patent path]

that's literally the opposite of what's actual

[patent pivot]

[patent path]

2042 had too much personality they had to take some away

because the personality was cringe

[patent pivot]

Nah

I still don't like spec

Then there's that one guy who still posts about Battlefield mobile occasionally

[patent path]

LMAO

[stone cradle]

I honestly respect him for being that dedicated

[calm bison]

And there it is

[arctic grove]

I mean that’s how I see it cause I just think 2042s changes have a lot of effects and nuance that most of the community still doesn’t really like, every bf game does weird and annoying things but 2042s launch was stacked on top of missing so many things from other games so it was genuinely awful

Bf4 had the absolute worst net code but you didn’t have to complain about the most literally basic features being gone like VOIP, a proper scoreboard or a server browser

[calm bison]

Yeah all those features sounded great

Too bad the game basically crashes as soon as you move your mouse

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/gato-gif-18424674

Season 7 when

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-titanic-gif-25999423

[arctic grove]

Honestly both were broken, to me I think im more concerned that it’s been 10 yrs and BF games still release this way more so than it excuses or lightens the blow that was the state of 2042

[calm bison]

Fair enough

[arctic grove]

But the game crashing on a single mouse input sounds funny af lol

[mental delta]

I mean it's unlikely are the 2 new maps are the complete opposite of BF2142 maps

[mental delta]

I know you're right but it's terribly hypocritical, I'll shit on this game nom atter how bad next one is

[mental delta]

Can't wait for it to be announced dude

[patent path]

2042 will be goated on reddit when the next one comes out

there's no other way about it

[mental delta]

That's dumb af

[patent path]

"hurr am I the only one that liked 2042"

[mental delta]

Shit doesn't even look like a BF game imo

[patent path]

2k upvotes

[mental delta]

For real though I liked BFV since it released

But I conceive that a lot of people didn't

Launch was somehow... kinda special

[deft flare]

Imagine if they released battlefield hardline that takes place in the year 2042 and they have ranger k9s and shit

[arctic grove]

A futuristic-ey cops vs robbers setting could go hard depending on how the art direction goes

[mental delta]

Cyberpunk type of shit except MaxTac got choppers

[deft flare]

Also do you guys think the titanfall games copied 2142?

Because not a lot of people remember 2142

[naive quiver]

Games nowadays are all copies of each other

So nothing so special

[pine roost]

cool

[mental delta]

Sanitater was talking about APC and second ice age

Maybe it's linked

[ebon pilot]

All the images of this skin imply there's a long barrel attachment for the MCS-880 that isn't usable in the game

because the real model in game does not have the barrel extend beyond the tube magazine

[royal swan]

Um actually the skin used to have a longer barrel, I know this because I got it when it released

It was part of the model

And I was annoyed that they changed it

[ebon pilot]

literally unplayable

[royal swan]

There was no secret attachment

The skin gave the gun a longer barrel

I noticed it when I actually bought it

And honestly it should've stayed

Made the gun look cool and legendary

Now it's just an epic skin model

Fuck you dice, I want a refund on that skin

[stone cradle]

Probably not connected

I mean it's clear that it's in Peru

[naive quiver]

Only EA refund that has nothing to do with dice

[deft tinsel]

underbarrel nades are so useless holy shit

[mental delta]

Maybe it's a glacier in Peru

[next onyx]

Not really hex.

[deft tinsel]

dude none of them do any significant damage at all even hitting ppl point blank

[next onyx]

The instant kill radius is small. They're great for finishing people off.

[deft tinsel]

sure instant kill if you manage to thread the needle

i've hit people point blank in the chest

[next onyx]

Direct hit sure.

Explosion wise just needs to be at their feet.

[deft tinsel]

none of the 40mm or jump up do any significant splash damage man

[next onyx]

They've been purposely tailored not to be cheese.

They were ludicrously easy to use at launch.

[deft tinsel]

so basically useless

[next onyx]

To the playerbase that over relies on them yes.

[deft tinsel]

you can't over rely on something unreliable

i wish more people used emps

i feel like a babysitter, tonnes of sundances throwing their shit at trophy systems over and over and over and over again

so i have to switch to support to emp

[next onyx]

Instantly murking someone so easily with the gl was a load of shit.

So reducing that like that was a good decision.

[deft tinsel]

there should be a balance no

[next onyx]

There is. You can no longer run 9 bits of 40MM.

[deft tinsel]

right, now it's balanced so you fart on people with 10 dmg

[next onyx]

They're not that weak I know that.

40mm AP is the best ammo type anyways.

[deft tinsel]

i literally just tried every type i had unlocked, in redacted of all places lmao

[next onyx]

Oh yeah the VHX has the 40mm incendiary.

[deft tinsel]

40mm, jump up do tiddlywinks of damage

incindiery hits a tiny model of something and explodes mid air

i will never understand why there's no bounce to the incindiery, akin to the one from cs2

it just hits a wall and ignites the air

[next onyx]

Cause this game isn't Cs.

Bounce would be annoying as fuck for incendiaries in this game.

[deft tinsel]

yea that's obvious

[deft tinsel]

so it's better for them to be 80% useless?

[next onyx]

40mm incendiary and incendiary grenades are the exact same thing.

[near silo]

Tor is annoying

[deft tinsel]

useless in the same way yes

[next onyx]

Incendiaries are not useless kek.

They're brilliant for area denial.

[deft tinsel]

if you hit the area lmao

[next onyx]

Which isn't hard to do.

Stop with the emote spam.

[deft tinsel]

yes if there are no enemies nearby, no cover, no models sticking out that can catch it mid air

[naive quiver]

Stop with the emote spam.

[next onyx]

@naive quiver don't.

[near silo]

Who’s spamming?

[deft tinsel]

the 2nd emote isn't mine lmao

[next onyx]

I know this game is weird at times with how it catches shit.

[deft tinsel]

that's the most annoying part

if there was a minimum bounce to them it would be better

like minimal minimal bounce

[naive quiver]

Sirpa = Way ?

Meaning ?

[next onyx]

I believe 40mm incendiary has a minimum arm distance.

[deft tinsel]

it's jarring going from cs2 where nades are relatively reliable/predictable

to this game where it's just guesswork

[next onyx]

You mean kill wise.

[deft tinsel]

everything wise

[next onyx]

Being able to instantly kill someone with a practical impact grenade is a load of shit.

[deft tinsel]

the spring nade, scatter nade and frag nade are kill machines

incendiary and underbarrell stuff feel like wet noodle slaps

i'm dogshit yea, but i think most of my incendiary kills are from hitting someone in the face with it and finishing them off or something lmao

[next onyx]

Don't you do that with normal grenades anyways at least, finish them off.

[deft tinsel]

those feel like kill machines, i just throw them in the general direction of someone and get kills

[next onyx]

I will admit. Incins require a much different playstyle but in my experience way back at 1 they've always been like this.

[deft tinsel]

the scatter grenade i don't even wanna talk about, that thing is a lil nuke

i wish the emp was a biiiiit stronger and used more often

[pine roost]

If you don’t use them with the intent to kill they often do more for you I’ve found

[remote kiln]

I feel like you mention the scatter grenade every day

[near silo]

Why did they remove the ability to lock on to air vehicles and land vehicles

[remote kiln]

they didnt

[naive quiver]

they didnt

[arctic grove]

they

[next onyx]

I know what he's talking about

[lone void]

Please elaborate

[lone void]

Incendiary grenade is best at just area denial. Trying to get kills with it won't make the most use out of it. Throwing it at some bozos entrenched in those metal sheds, will. Because it goes through thin walls.

[wraith knot]

jet hydra pods vs AGM?

[calm bison]

Both are susceptible to Active Protection Systems but rocket pods are generally better since you get more and they’re more versatile

[next onyx]

They removed sundances anti armour grenades to help consistency dealing with them.

[ivory canopy]

I personally prefer hydra pods now. You can do some decent damage with them and no need for a lock. Also good for splashing infantry.

I had lately come to play Control matches where I select a jet and manage to do some damage with relative impunity sometimes.

The two times I saw an enemy jet recently, they both crashed. One crashed trying to splash an infantry and another was circling to get me but crashed.

[remote kiln]

hydra rockets are strictly better than AGM for the sole reason that it does extreme damage to air vehicles

[ivory canopy]

TRUE

[ivory canopy]

I got a forced crash credit for that btw

[wraith knot]

and what do you go for primary? 25 or 30 mm

or situational

[ivory canopy]

Depends on your confidence

[wraith knot]

feels so hard to hit enemy jets with 30

[ivory canopy]

I prefer 30 since I can hit air vehicles fine.

Otherwise go with the 25; your hydras can damage vehicles anyway

[wraith knot]

but when learning 30 it will be more beneficial?

[ivory canopy]

30 can shred jets if your aim is good

I got a good bead on an attack helo once and just ate it right up

[pine roost]

I personally stick to 25s for the precision

30s if I’m going pure at

[ivory canopy]

25 is the safer and more reliable option for dogfighting. I just find that it lacks the raw power I've come to like.

Definitely a risk vs reward thing

On one hand, I'm probably less likely to get a clean bead on another air vehicle. On the other hand, when I do...

It's kinda like using the heavier cannon on the TOR. It's slower firing but more rewarding for your hits.

The TOR Maul cannon used to be able to snipe jets and helos before they nerfed it so that the vehicles needed to be close to it.

Or, maybe, like the M44. Very slow firing pistol. But it can 1hk headshot within 100m. Risk vs. reward.

I have a T1 on the M44 so I can attest to its capabilities, and that's kinda what I mainly used it for.

The BFP and MP-412 can also 1HK to the head but can't do so at the ranges the M44 can.

MP-412 1HK headshot range is half that the M44 and BFP is less than 20m

[gilded goblet]

I ani't reading all that]

[pine roost]

it's hardly even a paragraph

[ivory canopy]

Yea I went off on a bit of a tangent.

[gilded goblet]

to much

[gilded goblet]

blud yapping

[ivory canopy]

I wonder who will be the first to T1 the Zip 22?

[stone cradle]

guys what the hell happened

Ridgeline being shut down

[mental delta]

NO ???

You're lying

[stone cradle]

I'm not

[mental delta]

You're lying af lmao

Can't be real

[stone cradle]

https://fxtwitter.com/shinobi602/status/1762966232997781974

https://tenor.com/view/vince-mcmahon-vince-mcmahon-meme-vince-no-no-no-way-gif-7797789826061351147

So Lehto willingly leaving was alot more like being fired huh

[mental delta]

LMA-FUCKING-OOO

[pine roost]

wasn't respawn on that star wars fps?

[mental delta]

Well as you said : was

[pine roost]

:|

[mental delta]

The game is cancelled

[pine roost]

what are they on now then?

don't remember anything else they've announced

[stone cradle]

Star wars Jedi 3

Last game in the Jedi Trilogy

[gilded goblet]

[pine roost]

well didn't they just say they are cutting down on the licenced stuff?

[echo yew]

It’s so joever

[stone cradle]

Yeah and doubling down on their own IP

[echo yew]

Until i see actual gameplay im asumimg BF2025 fucking sucks and is DOA, not much else to do

[stone cradle]

The multiplayer seems to be safe

[echo yew]

nah

[stone cradle]

And the Battle Royale they really want to do

[echo yew]

we do not need more cod warzone clones

[stone cradle]

So I guess this will be 2042 again..

Except the trend shooter is actually f2p this time lol

[echo yew]

even if the game is good on release

[stone cradle]

But DICE will have 4 whole years to make the mp, they better deliver on that.

[echo yew]

they’ll likely only support the BR post launch to please the twitch streamers

my modern approach to videogames is “it’s bad until proven otherwise”

[pine roost]

Wait so lemme get this straight:

• Ridgline is closing
• Two folks from criterion are now leading the narrative end
• Criterion I assume are still helping, with ripple effect too.

[stone cradle]

Yeah, seems like that

[pine roost]

so

is ripple on the singleplayer stuff now?

criterion?

this is a lot to take in

[echo yew]

DICE = MP
Ripple = BR
Criterion = SP

listen even if it works out

The campaign is likely getting cut and the narrative team will focus on maybe adding story to the battle pass seasons or something

[stone cradle]

Some sources are saying Ridgeline isn't actually closed but guys from Criterion are heading it now

[pine roost]

uh

[echo yew]

i read ridgeline employees are now working at ripple effect

[mental delta]

Because you think gameplay footage won't suck as well ?

[pine roost]

so that tweet I saw was probably wrong then

[echo yew]

idk how true that is

[mental delta]

[echo yew]

Real, beta is it

it fucking sucks until the beta can prove otherwise

[pine roost]

nah, it only sucks after the day ONE patch doesn't fix all the issues

[mental delta]

Only some of them, but Frankensteining a studio like that and splitting suddenly the developers isn't a good choice I think

[echo yew]

SHG made MW3 look good and the game is unplayable

[echo yew]

Never is

[mental delta]

I agree, in BF2042's case, gameplay footage sucked, beta sucked and eventually... game sucked

We all bought this game only because we were in complete denial

[stone cradle]

So they really did fire Lehto

[mental delta]

[stone cradle]

Replaced him with some dudes from Criterion

EA wtf are you doing

[pine roost]

I'm willing to take his word that he left on his own accord

[mental delta]

Yup, sucked off his soul out of his body, used it for crackhead satanic ritual, made all proofs disappeared and eventually fired him

[stone cradle]

That's likely too, I hope that's what actually happened

[hearty flame]

Im surprised they hit the bf franshicse this hard and not something like bioware. at least EA can live service this stuff but dunno if ME or DA could

[mental delta]

Moreover Criterion was working on BF multiplayer not campaign

[echo yew]

So far the green flags

game has a modern setting
return to form approach

Red flags

Battle Royale mode
Ridgeline got shut down
Lehto left
Dev studios are being stretched thin
it’s a modern gaming title
2042 exists

[pine roost]

Again, don't assume those rumours about the game either

[stone cradle]

They were assisting Ripple, not DICE on the MP

[echo yew]

And because nobody wanted to play Vanguard or Call Of Duty anymore

[arctic grove]

Curiously asking, but wdym by return to form approach? I’m guessing you mean 64p?

[echo yew]

64 players and 4 class system apparently

[mental delta]

Those last years EA majorly invested back in solo games so it's not surprising at all in reality, those game are incredibly asked for so they're not cancelling those

[pine roost]

well 2042 was considered a 'return to form', so literally anything at this point

[arctic grove]

Ah interesting

[arctic grove]

[echo yew]

also the “next bf game will be dark and serious”

[pine roost]

pfft

fat chance

[echo yew]

catgirl skins release on season 2

[mental delta]

It fucking sucked, I prefer playing shit like BF2042 than COD Vanguard

[arctic grove]

Okay… im interested

[echo yew]

Yeah but cod vanguard is the worst videogame of all time so it’s not hard

[arctic grove]

Then again the same was also said for 2042 so that’s another funny

[stone cradle]

They probably want to obey the fans as much as they can. Because last time they tried to be brave....

Backfired quite a bit.

[hearty flame]

Maybe but I wouldve expected EA to go the live service route seeing as theyre going in on BR for the next bf so cut bioware some and spare bf

[mental delta]

So they were assisting the BR ? It's funny because the more we're digging in, the shittier it feels lol

[pine roost]

you guys remember when they said during investor calls that bfv was to be 'the most immersive world war 2 shooter to date'

fun times

[stone cradle]

Tbf Criterion did make Firestorm, so they have experience

[pearl ridge]

Well it was pretty fucking immersive

Also Criterion needs to go back to Burnout

[mental delta]

Maybe, at this point they look so dumb that I wouldn't even be surprised if they cancelled the main game to only release BR

[stone cradle]

That studio feels like Treyarch rn as in they just can't catch a break

[hearty flame]

ah dont jinx it lol

[arctic grove]

So wait, for bfv it was “most immersive ww2 shooter to date”, 2042 was “way ahead of schedule”, and now we’re looking at “a dark and serious setting”

[echo yew]

Fear.

[pine roost]

i think I need to find another franchise to main. Being a battlefield fan is just a constant struggle for better and for worse

[mental delta]

Sorry to spoil you lads the following events

[pine roost]

exactamundo

[echo yew]

Which means the game will be light and goofy

[arctic grove]

[stone cradle]

What's your source for 'dark and serious' setting? I never heard of that before @echo yew

[pearl ridge]

Even if they are allowed to do driving stuff they’re chained to frigging need for speed and aren’t allowed to do more than scratch the paint

[hearty flame]

I see another what a time to be alive ad coming

[stone cradle]

Next rumoured NFS is a most wanted remake. Now it depends if is 2005 or 2012. If it's the latter then there you go, that's your new burnout.

[pine roost]

well, good news, season 7 is up soon

end of next month at least

[echo yew]

no mp7 no party

[arctic grove]

All I want from racing games is the old grid 2 physics to come back

[echo yew]

yknow

[pearl ridge]

Trust me, it has nothing on the real deal. I want something more like Burnout classic, not Paradise

[echo yew]

If only MW2 and DMZ wasn’t abandoned for MW3 i would honestly not care that much

but uh

[pine roost]

well you can still play them

[echo yew]

I mean yeah

[dapper river]

More excuses for Criterion to NOT make a new Burnout (or at the very least a re-release of Burnout 3 and Revenge )

[echo yew]
