[tawny carbon]

When S7 officially drops

I think 🤔

[dusk falcon]

the server pfp is still season 5

[quaint vector]

Soon

[dusk falcon]

a bit outdated arent we

[crimson wasp]

😳

[tawny carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-spinning-chair-gif-15454620

Me rn as I wait for S7

[dusk falcon]

autism the anime

[spare pasture]

3 hours and 25 minutes

What no content for 5 months does to a mf

[bitter mulch]

Indeed, and have to Play warzone in that time makes people go nuts

[low timber]

lol, BFV leaked the trailer already

Don’t seem to be the full one though

[wheat nest]

?

[glossy lava]

https://twitter.com/BFBulletin/status/1767537322625491175

Stadium is the second map 💀

[patent path]

lmao that can't be real

unless they heavily modify the stadium

the original one is ass

LMAO

[torn trail]

Invisible Jets?? Lets see how this plays out.

[glossy lava]

Did the stadium have destruction before?

Walls coming off n shit

[patent path]

it didn't

[pine roost]

i'm surprised how so many people seemed to actually enjoy the stadium

nothing ever happened there, and when something did, the only actually fun part was the staircase

[patent path]

it feels kinda shit that they would use a removed part of an old map as a "new" map

[pine roost]

wait

huh

bruh

welp

[patent path]

doesn't matter how much shit they stuff in there, it's still just the stadium and it sucks ass

[torn trail]

As long as half of it isn't full of sand again.

[pine roost]

was this all from bfv showing off some of the trailer?

[patent path]

yeah bf5 glitched and shows the trailer

[pine roost]

fantastic

good job dice

[glossy lava]

Invisible jets 🙂

[pine roost]

well don't spoil any more of it, I'm looking forward to it

if people are now going to start spouting leaks I'ma go and close discord for a couple hours and be back for the big discussion

[crimson wasp]

I would encourage using spoiler tags :)

[pine roost]

yes, that'd be nice

[torn trail]

Perhaps, you should tell Dice you don't want them leaking their own stuff, as to not spoil it for you. 😜

[bitter mulch]

Stadium is the second map 🙃 bruh

[next onyx]

?

[calm bison]

Aaaaaaand that didn’t take long

[near silo]

I love all the speculations everyone is making

[torn trail]

Its not a speculation. It was accidentally leaked in the bfv menus.

But really, it's coming out in a couple hours.

[split plaza]

I thought just the trailer was coming out today? not the actual Season?

[torn trail]

Yeah, the trailer.

[bitter mulch]

It is Just the trailer

[split plaza]

word.

[bitter mulch]

And that leaked trailer is not gameplay trailer its cinematic. What are they thinking 🤔

[torn trail]

Won't spoil it for anyone. It looks neat.

[split plaza]

Well they laid off most, if not all, of the team. The creative director, Mr. Battlefield, left during that. And just yesterday the backup creative director left. So I think we all have proof that they are indeed not thinking at all 😉

[remote kiln]

I blame everyone crying for the stadium to return

[calm bison]

Honestly I’m happy it’s back

That was a great CQB environment

[wheat nest]

What is it?

Is it a old map?

[remote kiln]

it's part of the old hourglass map

it got removed in its redesign

[patent path]

who was the guy that said stadium was coming back in here a few days ago? I owe him an apology

[torn trail]

🚨spoiler alert🚨

[remote kiln]

wasn't one person was in the leaks

[patent path]

there were leaks?

[calm bison]

A dice dev during an interview hinted that it may make a return in the future

Well the future is now

[patent path]

why on earth would you hype up 2 maps then bring back stadium as one map of the two

jfc

[calm bison]

So we can technically argue that we got 2 maps

[patent path]

[calm bison]

[remote kiln]

the layout for the stadium seems different at least

it wasn't like that during hourglass

[patent path]

yeah looks like they added more stuff, but if the sand is still there it's still gonna be bad

[wheat nest]

I hate sand

fucky wucky

oopsie doopsie

[split plaza]

I hope the airplane leak is true and I'm mostly hype for the Easter Egg hunting to kick up again. S6 was too fast.

go queue up for Hazard Zone HYYYYYYYPE

[patent path]

[near silo]

Season 7 yet?

[spare pasture]

💀

[near silo]

Can we have CTF back? With actual flags

[spare pasture]

So much for karkand

[bitter mulch]

Karkand was to optimistic

That map is too good

Top 3 maps of all time

[near silo]

Pearl market was my number 1

[torn trail]

Oh man, if they took advantage of portal and added a bunch of old maps. 👀

[near silo]

Imagine a map where there were buildings you could walk inside of, and all looked different

[sturdy otter]

lets hope they bring back full destruction and weather event

[amber kelp]

maps had to get remade from scratch. Portal isnt much of an oportunity for content

[spare pasture]

The leaks are probably true

[bitter mulch]

They are true, you can watch the trailer

[spare pasture]

Bomber?

[amber kelp]

never leaked

[vocal tusk]

So the same as every single other "Gameplay" trailer they have released then?

[bitter mulch]

Its not even gameplay its Just cinematic 😬

[vocal tusk]

So same as every other gameplay trailer Dice have done for this, or the past 2/3 games

[bitter mulch]

Yes

[vocal tusk]

What do people expect, "Here is 3 minutes of un-edited raw gameplay...enjoy guys" Said no studio ever

Hey look, season 2 "Gameplay" reveal

https://youtu.be/4NzDNIdlmiQ?si=42IuwE56dupmisQc

[amber kelp]

3 unedited minutes of raw gameplay would hype me up for BF6 far more than a trailer at this point

[vocal tusk]

BF6? What?

[amber kelp]

talking in general, not about the season

As in: a cinematic trailer cannot physically activate neurons for the next bf game I need to see that shit with my own eyes

[bitter mulch]

Its not gameplay its cinematic

[vocal tusk]

I dont think this guy can read

Obviously it is cinematic gameplay, yes. the same as every single season reveal so far

[vague horizon]

No way the second map is stadium 💀

[vocal tusk]

Bit disappointing if true, it was my least favorite part of the old Hourglass map. Barring a significant improvement of course.

[amber kelp]

There are many people on this server who prove to me that dead internet theory is real

[bitter mulch]

Lol, you Said it raw gameplay well its not

[vocal tusk]

#battlefield-2042 message

[arctic grove]

I’m new to the game, what does a new season generally entail?

[vocal tusk]

Youre not helping the whole "This guy cant read" conspiracy

New season = new battle pass, new map (2 this season apparently), new weapons, sometimes new vehicle, new weekly missions, new cosmetics in the shop

[bitter mulch]

U mean urself, u asked the same question three times

[amber kelp]

"""2 new maps""""

[vocal tusk]

[dusty sparrow]

[bitter mulch]

What a kid communty

[tepid pumice]

How come nobody wants to ping out the enemies?

[vocal tusk]

Pinging enemies doesnt serve their own purposes.

[wheat nest]

I wish breaktrough had 128 players

[vocal tusk]

Its unplayable

Unless you want it to farm explosive kills/spotting masteries. In which case it works as expected. Hit reg simply doesnt work on BT or Rush 128 tho

[spare pasture]

Based bfv

[vague horizon]

Question is, is the sandstorm/tornado event gonna be on stadium

[vocal tusk]

no way to know

[vague horizon]

[spare pasture]

[amber kelp]

incredible

[wheat nest]

I love renewal

[deft tinsel]

dude how the fuck can you destroy the trophy system with an emp???/

i use an underbarrel launcher nade ok it gets blocked by the trophy system, i throw 2 emps - nothing

where the fuck are these things

i throw the emps where they usually put these little shits

[still vault]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-thinking-think-penguin-idea-gif-11520613303580791121

[deft tinsel]

do emps not destroy the trophy system??

[ebon pilot]

they do but it needs line of sight

i think

[deft tinsel]

that's what i assumed anyways, so i threw them around corners etc

it doesn't get blocked

but it doesn't destroy any trophy system either

idk what i'm doing wrong

[split plaza]

just had a no death 20 drive extract round. hype.

[wheat nest]

Games are a bit short

[deft tinsel]

emps are so fucking useless man

[wheat nest]

Campers 🤮

Idea: add decent spawns

[deft tinsel]

every time i play this game, i get reminded just how braindead the playerbase is

there is no other game with such a playerbase

it's astounding

someone should make a scientific study about it

i'm convinced half the player base needs to get reminded to breathe regularly or they'll die

[amber kelp]

BF only seems this way because they cannot do SBMM with 64-128 players

[deft tinsel]

it's not about matchmaking

[wheat nest]

Rao useless?

[amber kelp]

It is. In other games you do not often encounter the people who are this bad

[deft tinsel]

mostly yes, because your hack does basically nothing except annoying people

[deft tinsel]

how so?

[wheat nest]

Snipers suck

[amber kelp]

simple, you dont get matched with them. In most games I assure you there is an mmr grease trap with incomprehensibly bad players

[deft tinsel]

cs2 casual has no matchmaking yet no one is this stupid

[amber kelp]

Almost all games have sbmm, the difference is how strict it is

[deft tinsel]

casual has none that i'm aware of

[amber kelp]

SBMM has been a standard in almost all games since Halo 2 at least

[deft tinsel]

there are pre pubescent kids on cs2 with more awareness than half the playerbase of battlefield

[amber kelp]

id also wager a decent chunk of the BF playerbase is just fucking around

[wheat nest]

Breaktrough is ruined by vehicles

0-9 thanks to shot spawns and vehicle abusers

[bitter mulch]

30 minutes

[willow sky]

at what time is the trailer?

oo

[bitter mulch]

5 pm, half an hour

[willow sky]

aight bet

[amber kelp]

trailer has already been shown through 2042's marketing page

We have seen it. The leaks were real

[willow sky]

watch the next battlefield be a 2142 remaster

[torpid wadi]

Would be nifty

[willow sky]

ngl would be cool

[wheat nest]

Its not

[ebon pilot]

truly a skill issue

[stone cradle]

Silksong coming out is more likely than this

[amber star]

No longer excited for this season

[patent path]

okay

[ebon pilot]

okey

[amber star]

Hourglass Stadium map, new bomber that goes invisible

[patent path]

welcome to the future, we have invisible jets

[amber star]

Maybe 3 guns from the looks of it

[wheat nest]

The rao hack doesnt seem to do anything to vehicles

[ebon pilot]

It disables all parts which means people have less control and thrust / acceleration. It also lets M5 recoilless and other modern launchers lock onto it (but it doesn't show a soflam icon so nobody knows this)

[opal compass]

As a jet player... i like

[remote kiln]

yes some of the gameplay was shown early

[ebon pilot]

i wonder what the reason will be in game for why we're attacking the stadium separately from the rest of Doha

[deep pecan]

the m416 does not have a tact compensator, why?

[next onyx]

Of course they're bringing ina fucking stealth bomber.

STADIUM

Credit to the schizo, it is Stadium

[royal swan]

Womp womp

[midnight mesa]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

[mortal horizon]

Fucking hyped

[patent prism]

Free to play as well

[lament plank]

Lmao you’re calling the stadium a “new map” lmao it’s literally half of an old map.

[sour meadow]

very nice

[calm bison]

BEST SEASON BEST SEASON BEST SEASON

[frosty mural]

omg omg that stealth jet

[royal swan]

WOMP WOMP, LETS FUCKING GO

[opal compass]

be happy it isnt a b21 raider

[royal swan]

And the stadium is back

[midnight mesa]

STADIUM BABY

[crude wave]

STADIUM LETS GOOO

[jade trellis]

We are so dead

[midnight mesa]

LETS GET IT

[jade trellis]

Invis jet

[bitter mulch]

Yeahhh

[next onyx]

Why does it matter it's still a bomber in the end.

[solid imp]

Stadium poggers 🙂

[calm bison]

WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK

[chilly jacinth]

L vehicle

[jade trellis]

Trailer is good, jet is gonna be annoying

[spare pasture]

2 “new” maps

[patent prism]

Yeppers

[patent path]

people excited for stadium is surprising

[tacit anvil]

Why are they labeling Stadium as "new"? It's a rework right?

[solid imp]

Dedicated Stadium really is though.. it should have always been its own map 🙂

[spare pasture]

This game still only has 3 shotguns

[hoary willow]

I don't know about you guys, but I don't count the return of the stadium as a new map...

So still only one map

[next onyx]

So the Skorpion will be an SMG so it'll be forgotten but the Ak5c may be interesting.

[jade trellis]

Reminds me of warzone stadium

[midnight mesa]

Stadium had so much potential

So happy they’re making use of it

[split plaza]

where do i watch thetrailer? i expected it to be here in game-news

[dense pier]

A new Jet no one even uses jets bruh

[amber kelp]

Lmao they really call the stadium a new map

[patent prism]

I'm actually a little surprised they're adding the Ak 5C into the game considering that is in the process of being retired in real life and replaced with an AR-18 pattern rifle from SAKO.

[dense pier]

Yeah, this is a fucking L update

[calm bison]

Also I just want to say that the music for the trailer is on point

[jade trellis]

Youtube

[calm bison]

Me when I tell lies

[split plaza]

i'm on their channel and nothing new. aids

[patent prism]

Quite naturally that'll be the go to for myself since, 🇸🇪

[tacit anvil]

So are there any balance or changes posted anywhere?

[next onyx]

Wait hang on.

[sinful ore]

You failed, battlefield !

[shell ermine]

Oof

[next onyx]

Did they mention an LMG at all?

[sinful ore]

failed again good

[glossy nymph]

trailer looks good, anyone knows release?

[next onyx]

Failed what.

[patent prism]

Yep

[calm bison]

The new LMG can be seen in the shot before the stealth bomber comes on screen

Dozer is reloading it

[lone void]

I hoped it wouldn't be the other map so bad, I don't hate it but it could have been more

[sinful ore]

I dont think that they are not new 2 maps

[shell ermine]

Reused assets out the wazoo

[next onyx]

I know.

[sinful ore]

1.3 maps probably lol

[next onyx]

Oh there's the sheet.

[shell ermine]

Stadium isn't even new

[oak sedge]

Well I was hoping for Attack Jet but Stealth Bomber is pretty neat

[next onyx]

They didn't make it apparent in game.

[sinful ore]

ikr it's just rework

[dense pier]

Brother, they didn't add shit and we waited twice as long. They added a map that we've already had and call it new, and they added 2 shitty guns with a tow launcher, nobody wanted that oh, also, not to mention the jet that nobody in the entire community wanted they could have done something 10 times interesting, such as making a handheld plane drone, which I've heard a lot of people want

[ebon pilot]

probably because it's actually not going to be in at launch

[oak sedge]

SRAW coming back is cool

[ebon pilot]

the DFR Strife LMG is coming in 7.2

[opal compass]

but but, did you guys notice the destruction?

[royal swan]

Bomber goes Invisible

[calm bison]

Personally speaking I wanted new jets but sure

[shell ermine]

Because it's BC2 assets

[still vault]

[shell ermine]

Just reusing Arica Harbor buildings

[lone void]

S7 pog

[sinful ore]

I don't care even if it's perfect I'm focusing on 'NEW' map

and it's not new at all

[lone void]

I like the colours

[opal compass]

i wanted the jet. iam no one then

[dense lintel]

letsss gooo season 7

i like it

[lethal moon]

@granite island tell the devs i love them more then my family

[wheat nest]

New sounds or just trailer crap?

[calm bison]

We don’t exist

[next onyx]

Holy fuck I thought I'm a downer holy shit.

[shell ermine]

Just wait for the recoil balance to ruin gunplay

[wheat nest]

I wonder when it will come

[shell ermine]

It's DICE modus operandi

[next onyx]

What's the problem in reusing assets if they're good.

[lethal moon]

wait - ? which ones

[tacit anvil]

Wait, are they still porting Portal Weapons? I don't see anything in the screenshot

[vocal tusk]

Damn, how dare they re-use assets from one of the best, most playable maps in this game!!! /s

[chilly jacinth]

no one tell him about any game ever

[sinful ore]

It's not new!

[chilly jacinth]

reusing assets

[next onyx]

Apparently the bad co 2 houses are being re used on the new map.

[calm bison]

QUIT HAVING FUN

[next onyx]

Which ok, Whatever.

[wide shore]

I for one have been hoping since launch that they’d just reuse some of the BC2 assets. Let’s get some fuckin destruction

[sinful ore]

Well but I can tell except that.. skins, new weapons, and etc. they are good

[hoary willow]

Next new map is gonna be a mountain from old breakaway i guess.

[sinful ore]

I admit that

[shell ermine]

All I did was point out why the destruction on Haven was so different to what we've seen before

[next onyx]

It kinda reminded me of that highway map from bf3 at first.

What's it called.

[midnight mesa]

Minus well make use of it if it’s the game lol

[shell ermine]

Because it reuses Arica Harbor buildings

[calm bison]

Funny but unlikely considering that no one gives a rats ass about that part of the map

[waxen dock]

https://twitter.com/i/status/1767582450094424174

[shell ermine]

Stadium is the map I'm laughing at

[next onyx]

Yeah though knowing you since all you do is complain how else were we supposed to know.

[ebon pilot]

deploy screen improvements?

[hoary willow]

with their laziness anything is possible

[vocal tusk]

Stadium 2.0 is mildly disappointing for sure. Depends on how it is/how it plays tho. To highlight that big open central hub areas was pretty funny

[solid imp]

Since literally first community survey asked for dedicated Stadium map.. it's such a good area

[ivory canopy]

I'm surprised that it's the Ak 5C, and not the D variant

[tacit anvil]

Wait is AK 5C a portal weapon or new?

[ivory canopy]

Or they didn't make something up like Ak 5F

[chilly jacinth]

its not a portal weapon

[lethal moon]

LETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[midnight mesa]

New

[wide shore]

Also I think it’s hilarious that every gun in the game including 2 of the new ones have fake names. But the AK5C is just the AK5C LOL

[lethal moon]

YOU'RE LOST KIDDO

[queen crown]

im mixed on the stadium part

[shell ermine]

The community being so thirsty for more cqc is just baffling to me

[next onyx]

The bomber's going to be fucked.

I know that for sure.

[chilly jacinth]

cause ak5c is just a military designation

[vocal tusk]

Vehicle play is pretty meh in 2042...so of course the remaining players want CQC

[next onyx]

It's a shame that they couldn't do Cz3a1.

[queen crown]

real

[next onyx]

Or just call it the Evolution.

[chilly jacinth]

cant wait to get bombed into oblivion like in bf5

[tacit anvil]

Wait new? It is from BF4 and it was never in Portal?

[chilly jacinth]

and bf1

[next onyx]

At least bombers in the end of bf5 were somewhat balanced.

[midnight mesa]

Yeah it was never in portal

[queen crown]

yeah ak5c is not in portal

[ebon pilot]

YOU'RE LOST GET BACK TO THE ENGAGEMENT

[next onyx]

As in they couldn't just skybox bomb.

[calm bison]

Also the new bomber is based on the BAE Systems Taranis

[royal swan]

So glad we got stadium back

[shell ermine]

The last new map being like that is why I skipped pretty much all of season 6

[lethal moon]

You were here!!!

[mossy monolith]

I'm a little mixed on half of the content being at launch and half coming later, new map looks cool though

[royal swan]

And it's completely upgraded

[midnight mesa]

Stadium baby

[next onyx]

Here for what.

[royal swan]

Upgraded stadium

[midnight mesa]

I was hoping they’d somehow include stadium in the rework

[vital mauve]

lmao 2 newe maps???

lmao

[midnight mesa]

This is great imo

[solid imp]

It did need a map like redacted to scratch that itch but stadium will be a much more open version with longer sight lines and fewer closed bottlenecks

[remote kiln]

if the bomber having cloaking like the trailer implied is real it's going to get nerfed immediately lol

[queen crown]

I guess ill see how the stadium plays cause I never really played on hourglass that much so I can't really say much about it

[royal swan]

It seems to be a smaller map, so not sure if it's going to be in the map

[lethal moon]

@crimson wasp thank you for listenning to me 🙏 LOVE YOU

[tacit anvil]

The "cloaking" will probably act like the invincibility mode on that one helicopter

[next onyx]

I don't mind the stadium coming back and fully realised but at the same time I'm kinda annoyed that this is the second map we get from a time span of 2 seasons.

[queen crown]

im scared for the cloaking

[royal swan]

But we get stadium back, that's what we been asking for

[next onyx]

Hess didn't have input?

[chilly jacinth]

stadium was the only redeemable part of pre rework hourglass

[queen crown]

ohhhhhhh

[midnight mesa]

I’d only have fun playing og hourglass if I was fighting at stadium

[drowsy rose]

It's probably a new drone

[queen crown]

yeah I never played hourglass that much

[ivory canopy]

M5A3 was legit until the U.S. decided to call the gun the XM7

[royal swan]

Well now you can play just the stadium

[mossy monolith]

is it a new LMG coming in 7.2 btw?

[ebon pilot]

hey dice you need to un-private the haven map trailer

[wide shore]

I will say though. Haven seems like such a sick map. And a real return to form of map design. It looks so much like the town area from Bandar Desert. But also very BC2 styled. It’s sick

[rose fiber]

Tbf maps look ok tho by now game should be at least at 20 maps. Dc about bad skins since there's already tons of bad skins in the game so no difference

[remote kiln]

the fact players were that senile asking for a scrapped part of the map is the problem, not them adding it back

[next onyx]

Hold onto that.

[queen crown]

also the weapon skins look really cool

[granite island]

The map also looks large

[warped pulsar]

I'm sure stadium has more going on inside than just the exact same empty stadium before the removal

[tacit anvil]

Wait....Stadium is a separate map from Hourglass and not them adding it back? oh I just realised for some reason

[queen crown]

yeah probably

[drowsy rose]

Battlefiled gas an immense issue with some of the dumbest players being thr .majority and very loud

[clever marlin]

Clearly you don’t know dice

[remote kiln]

this is exactly why DICE should ignore the players for these types of things

[royal swan]

Womp womp

[remote kiln]

yes unfortunately

[wide shore]

Fingers crossed it isn’t 64 only

[shell ermine]

128pC is awful, 64p is tolerable when it's not a cqc map

[clever marlin]

I am glad we are getting a decent cqb map finally

[tacit anvil]

So is Stadium just gonna be a CQB map or something?

[chilly jacinth]

64p conquest feels empty on alot of the maps

[remote kiln]

stadium is not strictly cqb

[calm bison]

I thought the pan out shot meant that Heaven would be 128 players but now I’m thinking Stadium might be that

[remote kiln]

it depends if the sector is as it was as big in hourglass

[rose fiber]

As long as stadium insides get major rework and expanded it should be ok imo

[next onyx]

I don't think it's bad I'm more annoyed that this is our "Second" map which feels like a mid season map.

[ivory canopy]

Ak 5C addition feels like a vault weapon from BF4 tbh

[shell ermine]

I'm just glad we've heard that the next BF is dropping 128p

[wide shore]

It looks like the stadium is gonna be the entire A sector. Which was quite large

[queen crown]

yeah that's how I feel

[ivory canopy]

I know they probably won't consider it a vault weapon. Still.

[tacit anvil]

I still want it in the server options for the crazies who do like the numbers

[cold yarrow]

Play #battlefield-legacy-titles 2042 Season 7: Turning Point on March 19.

[remote kiln]

it's asinine in terms of 2 maps, this is a half map, but again the problem is the players crying they took away a part of the map which wasn't even that good to begin with

[royal swan]

Bro same, I hated how they nerfed performance to get that many players

[lethal moon]

It's the entire stadium, the original one only had a square feet to walk in

[cold yarrow]

we need to wait for 1 more week

[wide shore]

Stadium was the best part of old hourglass.

[cold yarrow]

i miss battlepass so muchg 😦

[ebon pilot]

looks like they've added... stuff

[next onyx]

I didn't really care much for the stadium, Cause hourglass is just shit. No matter what.

[queen crown]

yeah

[remote kiln]

nobody did except snipers

[ivory canopy]

Thank you!

[wide shore]

I never left A on old hourglass.

[chilly jacinth]

vehicle players loved it

[queen crown]

that's why I barely played hourglass in general

[next onyx]

Like omg they fixed the map IT'S STILL SHIT.

[remote kiln]

it was extremely overrated and morons crying that it got removed don't know what they're talking about

[shell ermine]

Maybe they can make the gunplay and movement as good as BFV again instead of downgrading it

[clever marlin]

I would love to have a 48v48 version of conquest to try it out

[chilly jacinth]

specifically heli andys

[queen crown]

yeah even the rework which was better didn't help it that much

[next onyx]

Breakaway, Orbital, Reclaimed and redacted play the best in the game because they take advantage of the player count to the fullest.

128P Breakaway and Orbital players like a dream, 64p Reclaimed and redacted just work.

[chilly jacinth]

hourglass is just spawntrap central now

not very fun

[wide shore]

I still hate breakaway

[remote kiln]

I'm reserving judgement for next week but this marketing better not happen again

[next onyx]

It proves you don't need 128p to fill in the blank spaces.

[queen violet]

so they took away the stadium and made the game 64 players... then re add back what they took away and call it a 2nd map

[next onyx]

I don't think the thing itself is bad.

[junior galleon]

what happened with the reveal

[remote kiln]

no the stadium isn't the same version as it was in hourglass

[next onyx]

But it's the fact that again, This is our second map.

[wide shore]

They didn’t make the game 64 players

[remote kiln]

but yes it's a dumb decision

[next onyx]

This is the second map we were getting in the season when it feels like your obligatory gamemode variant of the map.

[stone cradle]

Wow, look at all those...boxes

[queen violet]

trey find a game with 128 players on console

[queen crown]

technically speaking the 2nd map isn't a 2nd map it's a addon or rework

[calm bison]

Ok easy

[dense wedge]

The icon change on discord server made me feel kinda good nice colour

[fickle wharf]

works on my machine

[wide shore]

I do that every single time I play

[rose fiber]

I just hope some indie dev company will make new BF like Battlebit but with better visuals

[queen violet]

fo

128 bots

[wide shore]

No

I don’t have crossplay off

[next onyx]

If they moved the stadium into the city and made the fight AROUND the city then sure.

that would be interesting.

[queen crown]

oh for sure

[calm bison]

Just new jets

[remote kiln]

no moving the stadium would have made the map even more dumb

[calm bison]

I’m happy for new jets

[queen crown]

ok ok

[calm bison]

Doesn’t look like they have guns they can use tho

[queen crown]

lets be real

[ebon pilot]

they couldn't do it, poly count too high

[delicate nymph]

Guys before talking, lets see the result in one week so we can give them our impression

[ebon pilot]

for last gen

[calm bison]

So they’ll need a Felon or Panther to back them up

[queen crown]

hourglass shouldn't even be a map

[next onyx]

If they scrapped the entire fucking desert and made the map based around the city (and properly adjusted) like in dawnbreaker I'd be up for that.

[calm bison]

Which will be fun on maps with only one plane per side

[remote kiln]

they weren't going to scrap the desert it was a key promo for the game

[chilly jacinth]

or making it like any of the concept art they made for hourglass

[next onyx]

You know I wasn't gonna be surprised if they gave it frontal 30MM cannons.

[spare quest]

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/rude-jack-black-jumanji-jumanji-movie-gif-11210109

[next onyx]

Oh by the way.

Small observation.

[amber kelp]

BBR is dependent on its low visuals to work

[next onyx]

The LMG and bomber will come in at 7.2.

[fickle wharf]

i feel like the bomber is a call in since it has voice lines( or its trailer fluff) and cloaks after the bomb run

[royal swan]

Honestly I think they can give the same treatment to the observatory on breakaway, like they did with stadium

[ebon pilot]

lmfao no

[chilly jacinth]

no

[vocal tusk]

That area is WAY too small to make it a new map, even a TDM map

[junior galleon]

pretty mid honestly

[royal swan]

Expand it into the Mountain

[vocal tusk]

And it was always pretty shit

[rose fiber]

It would be great if it was like Dawnbraker, Idk why are skyscrapers in Kaleidoscope and Hourglass pushed to the edge of the map giving them barely any focus

[naive quiver]

What have you done in the past few months? DiCE

[patent path]

the machine gun isn't coming at season's launch too...wtf is this

[chilly jacinth]

drip feeding content

[shell ermine]

I'd wager this is the last season anyway

[royal swan]

Where did you get that information

[patent path]

it's coming with patch 7.2

[ebon pilot]

well they basically fast tracked a map rework so it appears at season launch instead of mid-season because people really fucking wanted multiple maps

[rose fiber]

Imo it'll end with 8th

[patent path]

it's written on the battlepass slide

[royal swan]

Is it?

[heavy lava]

Ah Fuck

[arctic grove]

going to be fun for like 2 weeks before i get bored and play something else

[shell ermine]

They are scraping so hard at the bottom of the barrel we'll just end up with splinters

[patent path]

tiny fineprint at the corner

[queen violet]

no skilled devs making battlfiend games

[arctic grove]

that's modern live service gaming for you

[last mountain]

base of the mountain + the top = new map

[queen crown]

WAIT WHAT

[silk surge]

I am so insanely disappointed that the Stadium being the second map rumors were true. Claiming that Season 7 will have 2 new maps is outright misleading.

[ebon pilot]

can you do better?

[queen violet]

sure can can you/

[arctic grove]

as i said its going to be fun for like 2 weeks before we get bored and play smth else

[shell ermine]

I think the problem is that DICE can't

[charred temple]

Based on the skins, BF2042 wanna be a cheap COD clone...

[ebon pilot]

i doubt it, maybe you should join dice

[worldly wolf]

too bad the belt fed ar15 isn't coming at s7 launch
at least I can still run around using the fnc and cz

[rose fiber]

Maybe there will be barely anything in 8th but imo they'll go for "full 2nd year" (each year being 4 seasons not counting breaks inbetween and delays)

[queen violet]

i have played every bf game to date

[pine roost]

Wait the what fuck bomber was that invisible hell what

[split ember]

Yayyyyy Stadium's back!

[shell ermine]

They had such bad attrition over the last 5 years they lost pretty much everyone with institutional knowledge of Battlefield

[queen crown]

indeed

[royal swan]

BRUH I SEE IT

[queen violet]

strange world we live in.. twilightzone

[remote kiln]

it appears to have emp, but no front cannons

[next onyx]

Don't worry it totally won't be busted.

[remote kiln]

the tor getting disabled is from a aerial shot

[patent path]

what is the frequency of the seasonal patch? Since the LMG is coming with 7.2 that means we have to wait for 7.1 THEN 7.2

[next onyx]

Who the fuck knows.

[patent path]

that will be a few months right

[ebon pilot]

normally it's like 2 months

[queen crown]

it might be

[next onyx]

It's not like bf5 where the x.1's were mid month hotfixes.

[patent path]

[queen violet]

oh look cat man

[arctic grove]

dice doesn't know what weapon balancing is

[junior galleon]

why do people think this argument is good

[next onyx]

It'll probably be shared as a reward in the mid season event.

Who the fuck knows.

[royal swan]

New sights tho

[queen violet]

beta male

[jovial slate]

Idk how I feel about this dlc tbh

[next onyx]

???

[plush echo]

Season 7 trailer 👀

[rose fiber]

Isn't bomber simply gonna be easy target for fighter jet making it waste of spawn?

[patent path]

months of waiting for the LMG I'm gonna freak out

[last mountain]

fire idea

[next onyx]

I noticed that.

[ebon pilot]

it's not an argument

[split ember]

thank you DICE lol

[stone cradle]

They should've just extended the city out eastward

[bright canopy]

my expectations were low but

wow

[drowsy rose]

Stealth Drone,Plane, and Drone names - Great White Bat, Predator, Global Hawk, Raider, Spirit, Nighthawk.
💀 Drauger

[naive quiver]

dice went on vacation a few months ago, and made this on the last month

[stone cradle]

Plop alot more buildings, make it like shanghai ig

[remote kiln]

maybe, we'll see, it seems to be relatively agile at a minimum

[patent path]

the lack of weapons seriously turns me off from playing more, like the customization is already lacking, so at least please give more guns?

[plush echo]

Sundance looking clean

[royal swan]

No pistol is nice just three primaries

[bright canopy]

half a year for 2 new guns + another sometime later is certainly uh... discouraging

[next onyx]

The burnout is so fucking real.

Jesus christ.

[vocal tusk]

Just go play other games lol

[ebon pilot]

how many hours did you put into this?

[bright canopy]

Helldivers 2 is also made by a Swedish company and they'll be releasing big content drops every month

[queen violet]

they should ban Sundance ffs flying around like a x man game

[split ember]

ewww helldivers

[drowsy rose]

TBF it's contnet that's in the game

[silk surge]

I don't trust Swedes anymore.

[patent path]

the only gun that has the ability to change caliber is the m5a3 since launch, none of the other guns has this

[arctic grove]

how long was redux again

[somber rune]

Drip fed, bare minimum, garbage content for a trash game developed by incompetent money grabbing morons.

[royal swan]

Yooo they finally updated these sever icon

[plush echo]

Don’t hate Blud

[jovial slate]

Talk about glazing...

[nova idol]

HAHAHA the second map is just what they cut off from hourglass???

[royal swan]

Womp womp, play something else

[stable sail]

Yep

[jovial slate]

Yeah

[plush echo]

Redux is coming back when ?

[patent path]

why can't I have a 9mm ak-24? just make some stuff up please

[drowsy rose]

Eugene Stoner stays winning

[rose fiber]

Idk, I just have a bad feeling cuz in older titles like BF4, attack jets like A-10 could still dogfight and bombers in BF1 and 5 had machine guns to defend against them, Idk about this one

[arctic grove]

dice is literally scrambling to keep their game afloat, but honestly you are not ever going to restore battlefield to its former glory

[somber rune]

Womp womp, suck ma titties.

[arctic grove]

fucking creep

[stable sail]

Didn't they say that "vehicle lovers" are going to love this new update?

[silk surge]

Yup 😦 All those subreddit rumours were true.

[royal swan]

Ew

[opal compass]

sooo. the Draugr is remote controlled. and comes later in the game then the season itself

[nova idol]

Jesus christ man did they expect people to jump for joy over getting a partial map

[drowsy rose]

Also who ever unironically designed these skins is fucking high as hell

These are some of the worst I've seen

[remote kiln]

we need to wait and see how the cloaking works exactly, it's impossible to tell

[arctic grove]

it gives the sweats something to do at least

[shell ermine]

Well it doesn't seem like 2042 is going to have a redemption arc like BFV did

[chilly jacinth]

have you seen any call of duty skins

[royal swan]

I mean people were hell pissed for the removal of the stadium and they demanded it back as a new map

[chilly jacinth]

those are wack

[opal compass]

Gain ultimate control with the XFAD-4 Draugr remote-controlled aerial bomber (coming with a future season update) @patent path

[vocal tusk]

I mean, this games support is probs on its last legs. Why do people expect a sudden up tick in the amount of seasonal content? Youre only fooling yourself expectign more than what past seasons gave.

[patent path]

lmao the stadium map is also mid-season content

[remote kiln]

^

[nova idol]

"Why are they expecting it" because they told us that??

[stone cradle]

I mean I kind of expected it, why would they have a new map in Doha/Bahrain out of all places again

[nova idol]

Wtf do you mean

[plush echo]

Just run redux again plz

[raven haven]

my favourite part of hourglass is back!!!

[opal compass]

yep. so no reason for me to play in the beginning lol

[next onyx]

Brutal expectations.

[topaz crown]

They are, but these are just not it either, literally some of the skins in this game are the same just a different color

[nova idol]

"Hey youre getting 2 maps" with no elaboration = youre getting 2 new, full maps

[stone cradle]

thank you dice for giving me a reason not to buy the ultimate pass

[raven haven]

Bahrain Formula 1 Circuit new map confirmed 😭

[next onyx]

I'll be honest. The new original map looks really cool.

[stray rock]

what the fuck is wrong with that gun 13 seconds in

[rose fiber]

If it's made into a full stadium it may be ok since 75% of stadium was basically under sand in Hourglass

[vocal tusk]

So people would prefer the game just die and not get anything more by the way people are acting here.

[patent path]

I'm so fucking sad, at least give us everything in the beginning

[white geyser]

I’m kinda surprised they added stealth bombers, I wonder is it playable or is it you just call them to air strike??

[arctic grove]

honestly that's kind of a bummer for EA/DICE executives to say "shut this shit down guys"

[stone cradle]

No new Falck skins either

[stable sail]

new map is just CoD's Rundown but wider lol

[raven haven]

I hope it has those private lounge rooms you see in statdiums, would be insane as an objective

[split ember]

Don't mind them.

[nova idol]

Id rather them not try to mislead people

[royal swan]

I expect it to be different from old hourglass, they did add new areas it seams.

[opal compass]

@patent path getting farmed by little birds is the tip of the iceberg. and the new map is exactly that. A littlebird farm map

[raven haven]

this ☝️

[ebon pilot]

LMAO you're right the animator put the mag in the completely wrong spot

[next onyx]

I was wondering what fucking gun is that.

[arctic grove]

2042 is trying its hardest to stay afloat

[patent path]

lmao

[raven haven]

uhhhh
animators? you good?

[topaz crown]

With the way this franchise is going, I don't know how I feel about it - imo it's just not Battlefield anymore

[white geyser]

The sraw it was my main weapon back in BF4 I’m glad it’s coming back

[stone cradle]

But but, keeping players hooked!

[shell ermine]

I mean yeah

[split ember]

It's Battlefield alright

[opal compass]

boooooring. gonna hop on when the bomber comes out lol

[tepid dove]

I just want a city map. Not another low building town with pretty flat terrain that caters to both vehicles and infantry

[vocal tusk]

At least you are honest, and this makes sense as to why you act like such a buzzkill

[lilac dust]

Just watched it ....... LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL WHERE DID THE BULLET CASINGS UNDER WATER COME INTO PLAY????????????????????

[arctic grove]

there really is a skeleton crew working on this game

[shell ermine]

Go all in on the next BF at 100% capacity, it's make or break for the franchise

[ebon pilot]

people clearly don't like 5 month content droughts

[junior galleon]

yes if this is what they give after 5 months

[patent path]

https://tenor.com/view/green-mile-im-tired-boss-michael-clarke-duncan-gif-16875499

[vocal tusk]

Its this, or nothing. Choose

[arctic grove]

battlefield is done for

[calm bison]

Man it must really suck being this negative all the fuckin time

[shell ermine]

Pull the plug on the dying patient

[last mountain]

Honestly im someone who generally didn't care about us getting a new map and a rework per season while it was happening because I know it takes alot more time to develop things than it did in the past, but 5 months for 1 NEW map and yoinking stadium and plopping cover all over the place and calling it a new map is a new low entirely, should have just left it at season 6 tbh, stealth bomber, cz and ak 5c is very cool though and that new heavy smg?

[shell ermine]

Let 2042 go

[tepid dove]

Like we need a map that's explicitly catered to vehicles or infantry, like Shanghai or Golmud

[topaz crown]

Nothing then, this is lazy

[stable sail]

Battlefield players been this salty forever.

[calm bison]

Was redacted not enough?

[stone cradle]

I said this so many times, I'll say it again, the most stupid decision they made was taking Ripple off the game

[split ember]

Hey man, I'm happy they gave the Stadium a makeover. Seems we're also gonna see stadium destruction

[stone cradle]

And telling them to make a stupid BR

[raven haven]

nah they want something that has a skyscraper that ruins the map when anyone interacts with it

[arctic grove]

didn't they shut down ridgeline

[rose fiber]

Whole AAA is done for. I want to see what indie era will bring us in near future

[calm bison]

That makes sense

[pine roost]

This news caused me to stop listening to Infestation to process

[stable sail]

I just love all the players that started the series in BF4 or 3 that complain about the series lol

[tepid dove]

That's an exception because that's infantry only. I mean one that has both infantry and vehicles, and favours one specifically (again, golmud or Shanghai)

[raven haven]

siege of Shanghai is overrated

[naive quiver]

When the new trailer comes out, this channel is always getting very busy

[stone cradle]

I'm talking about Ripple, ex-DICE LA/portal devs. Not Ridgeline(narrative studio)

[bright canopy]

Can I complain if I started with 1942 while I was 6 years old?

[arctic grove]

that's kind of why helldivers and palworld exist

[split ember]

They forgot the launch of those games lol

[junior galleon]

when do you need to start to be able to complain

[naive quiver]

[shell ermine]

I mean DICE has lost pretty much all institutional knowledge of Battlefield, they are going to have to give 120% to make a good proper BF again. Supporting 2042 is just a waste.

[raven haven]

it only has the city theme going for it
other than that it's camper paradise

[arctic grove]

helldivers is a really fun game dude

[raven haven]

flood zone was underrated

[calm bison]

We’re drowning in a sea of constant negativity rn

[bright canopy]

one might think there's a valid reason for it after a certain point

[ebon pilot]

can't wait until tomorrow when it goes back to normal

[tepid dove]

I'm not trying to be negative but we've waited a long time for not really much

[calm bison]

Apparently DICE isn’t allowed to fix their games anymore and should just abandon them because the community said so

[split ember]

Nothing new. Whiners be whining

[stable sail]

just saying that perspective matters and it's not just those people's perspective lol

[raven haven]

I'm just happy I have a reason to play 2042

[raven haven]

any content is fine for me

[pine roost]

Hol up, those bombers are drones?

[maiden bridge]

New pfp wth

[stable sail]

I hate over catering to BF3 and BF4 players cuz the game was less fun when Bf3 and BF4 came out

[naive quiver]

Do We want to submit a petition for free season 7 battle pass ?

[lilac dust]

Called it lol ... but the reality is even worse 🤣

[maiden bridge]

Submit a petition to change to the old pfp

[raven haven]

I wish we got call ins though

[tender pendant]

[raven haven]

like BF5 big bomb thingy

[arctic grove]

i mean

[tepid dove]

Well that's your take and frankly I disagree. Battlefield 3 and 4 are regarded as brilliant titles

[junior galleon]

thats fine but when others are unsatisfied its not unreasonable either

[stone cradle]

No new skin for any support specialists?

I feel barely compelled to buy the pass now

[bright canopy]

dont worry there's probably 4 or 5 boris skins

[ebon pilot]

there's 17 specialist skins

[tiny imp]

Haven chile looks awesome

[raven haven]

I assume there will be
it says there is 17

[tepid dove]

I mean they do have a lot

[lilac dust]

I don't know why I'm surprised, but what the fuck were they intending to accomplish with that teaser trailer? Bullet casings in water has nothing to do with the gameplay trailer

[split ember]

Support got their spotlight last season

[arctic grove]

as long as the game makes that dollary do's for ea this game is here to stay

[rose fiber]

Nothing wrong with having some quality standards. It's the lack of standard that doesn't give them the incentive to make at least close of a quality game like they did in the past

[calm bison]

Wait you mean a company exists primarily to make money? What is this? 1887?

[nova idol]

Crazy how only a fourth of this image is dedicated to actual content

[junior galleon]

bf3 and bf4 had really bad launches is what hes trying to get at, however neither game was in this stae 2 and a half years in so

[stone cradle]

Oh I forgot

[tepid dove]

I'm just happy Blasco has a skin that isn't a recolour

[stone cradle]

I'll wait for someone to post a video of the whole pass

[topaz crown]

At this rate we'll never get the Battlefield Experience back

[shell ermine]

Honestly the main problem with 2042 is that it has a bad core structure, not just lacking content. Conversely BFV had a fantastic core structure and just lacked content.

[stone cradle]

So half the skins are TPC-themed, that's cool

[arctic grove]

well thats EAs business model

[rose fiber]

Tbf, Blasco has the best base model there is

[split ember]

'Battlefield Experience'

[raven haven]

I wish bf2042 did have the BFV movement such as crouch run, combat roll, prone on back
and fortifications

[rose fiber]

No other operator has as good basic skin like Blasco does

[tepid dove]

I just miss proper content cycles. A planned DLC release roadmap instead of live service. I will gladly pay for four maps, ten weapons, and a handful of new vehicles in a single DLC

[stable sail]

Fuck dlcs

[ebon pilot]

as far as i'm aware the 'battlefield experience' is just swimming in a sea of salt

[split ember]

Well either get free maps, or pay for em

[stable sail]

Community splitting = no thanks

[tepid dove]

Amen. I always try and make my specialists feel militant

[calm bison]

Here is what I don’t understand: people give DICE so much shit for cancelling BFV and BFII for 2042, citing wasted potential and all that shit.
But now we have a new game, with all of this effort being put into it, and the community is literally begging DICE to checks notes abandon the game for another project…

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU

[stone cradle]

I'm not very happy but tbf what are people expecting from like 10% of dice still maintaining the game while the rest of the 90% are focused on the next one

[stable sail]

Do it like Bad company 2... Free map drops

[arctic grove]

DLC would absolutely work in today’s age of gaming where people spend 20 to 30 dollars on skins

[raven haven]

I love playing Casper so I usually run the season 5 gas mask one

[chilly jacinth]

It's the cycle of battlefield

[remote kiln]

that content was made before the launch of those games, 2042 didn't have that, don't be expecting it for this game

[rose fiber]

I'm fairly certain that before people pushed for more military looking skins, Blasco was probably planned without helmet.

[tepid dove]

I don't mind paying for them. I did that in 4 and 1 gladly because there were lots of maps and weapons

[calm bison]

These people are goldfish

[pine roost]

Oh dang that was a sraw? Thought it was just a javelin. Gonna enjoy that one. Was hoping they’d just replace the tgm with it though

[stone cradle]

[junior galleon]

people shit on dlc but at least we were guranteed to get X amount of content in roughly a years time

[lilac dust]

WHERE ARE THE BULLET CASINGS UNDERWATER?

[nova idol]

Thats what happens when the game sucks

[ebon pilot]

ok so see that oasis there? that's the water.

[tepid dove]

Yes and that's what I'm complaining about. They doubled down on a plethora of bad decisions

[shell ermine]

I don't like EABF2, but it stung so bad with BFV because mechanically it was the best Battlefield ever was in the modern era, it just lacked content.

Meanwhile 2042 is both mechanically unsound and lacks content.

[stable sail]

That's why this map is just Oasis 2.0

[calm bison]

So we would rather DICE not fix the suckiness and just make another, possible even worse, game, correct?

[nova idol]

The point of asking them to move on is in the hopes that what they work on will be good

[stone cradle]

That's all the reassurance I need..

[stable sail]

They're both in the Atacama Desert lol

[topaz crown]

This, 100%

[lilac dust]

So it's a kiddy pool. Got it. No naval combat

[calm bison]

Define mechanically unsound because as far as I can see, this game is fine

[remote kiln]

it's either that or the game ceases support, so choose your pick lol

[nova idol]

But they hardly fixed it

[shell ermine]

If the foundation is bad you gotta tear down the whole structure

[stone cradle]

No no a new specialist will come out that has a toy boat

[tepid dove]

Precisely. Scheduled content releases, the game kept afloat by people paying for those DLCs because we could justify paying for them

[nova idol]

And it took them forever

[topaz crown]

It's been three years and is still worse. It's a Call of Duty Clone

[calm bison]

I don’t know about you man but the game looks pretty fixed to me

[split ember]

People complained back then too lmao

[arctic grove]

?????

[remote kiln]

the DLC has nothing to do with paying or not

[arctic grove]

what

[fickle wharf]

angel skin dude

[nova idol]

And if they had any sense theyd have avoided the mistakes to begin with

[pine roost]

Do they have a page yet going over the new gear in detail?

[lilac dust]

WHY DID THEY SHOW EXCLUSIVELY BULLET CASINGS UNDERWATER WITH A LITTLE BIT OF SMOKE ONLY TO GIVE US A KIDDY POOL ON THE EDGE OF THE ONLY NEW MAP 🤣

[calm bison]

This has to be the worst CoD clone in history if that’s the case

[winged furnace]

VHX or SFAR-M GL ???

[rose fiber]

Tbf, it would be kinda funny if they added a small inflatable pool after being asked for naval maps

[junior galleon]

yeah they did

[tepid dove]

Cease support then 🤷‍♂️ I would much rather move onto the next title and more traditional format and content. Nix the specialists and go back to DLC. Live service is a poor excuse for milking money

[remote kiln]

https://fxtwitter.com/BFBulletin/status/1767593230504210894?s=19 it has emp

[whole escarp]

Is the trailer out?

[last mountain]

it's probably to do with the lore, them fighting over the aquiver

[nova idol]

They refused to abandon specialists and add hardly any content with each season

[lilac dust]

Funny for a few mins yes, then we'd create our own naval ocean with the tears of sadness

[royal swan]

Oh boy another carbine in the smg slot

[topaz crown]

It is. It feels cheap, like a free to play game that has no idea what it's doing

[split ember]

There's no way to satisfy whiners lol

[remote kiln]

wrong answer sorry bud

[arctic grove]

With all due respect these aren’t the only 2 options. But if we’re assuming DICE would publish an even worst title (which, knowing what they do now feels impossible but I’m not going to doubt it), then why would sending more resources and money at a game most of the community doesn’t actually like be much better. (And the fact that “support” means 1.5 new maps and 3 guns after like several months of waiting is pretty disappointing in and of itself)

[ebon pilot]

it's dirt holy shit. it's a fucking oasis in the middle of the desert so there's SAND in the WATER that we're shooting guns over. it's not that complicated!

[raven haven]

dice: removes stadium
players:bring back stadium!!!
Dice: does exactly that
players:lazy Devs bringing back stadium!!

[pine roost]

So no guns then?

[stone cradle]

I was high on copium for a Qataifan island or something

[raven haven]

absolutely hate this fanbase

[remote kiln]

it doesn't have guns yes

[split ember]

My point exactly lmao.

[shell ermine]

Poor gunplay, poor movement, mangled class system (naturally, because it didn't even goddman have one), specialists, poor vehicle play, maps so bad they had to spend months and months reworking them to even make them halfway decent, Sector Conquest, 128p not being viable, etc etc etc

[arctic grove]

im going to be honest, the sand stadium wasn't that good

[remote kiln]

https://fxtwitter.com/BFBulletin/status/1767586443189186632?s=19

[tepid dove]

It's almost like we wanted it to remain part of hourglass

[junior galleon]

point is people didnt want it back as the supposed "second map" they wanted it back in hourglass

[royal swan]

I'm going to guess it's a loud minority on the map

[split ember]

I'm happy they brought it back with a rework

[stone cradle]

Like this as a map would be cool but I guess it would've been too much for the 10% that still maintain this game which is fair

[raven haven]

fighting in the hallways was really fun

[shell ermine]

Oh, almost zero templay

[topaz crown]

Well, I believe they meant to Hourglass not an individual map with an Hourglass background and label it "new".

[solar tinsel]

yeah its pretty bad. Listen, 2042 deserves a lot of criticism no doubt for the way it launched. Nothing can undo that, but they have been doing a good job of keeping the game supported until the next one comes along

[raven haven]

if it's back in hourglass no one will ever go to it!

[pine roost]

That’s good then, not a complete upgrade. And if it’s only bomb type weapon is an emp that won’t be nearly as annoying as I feared

[split ember]

Now we're getting another close quarters map to sit alongside Redacted

[stone cradle]

Should be for a whole week tbh

[tepid dove]

Hainan resort, O how I miss thee

[raven haven]

I love 2042, I love how the Devs did with it, just hate how the players complain no matter what

[calm bison]

Exactly that - they’re keeping this game’s head above water for as long as they can and apparently that makes the devs bad

[bold charm]

I saw some destruction on the trailer is that actually gonna be on the game?

[crimson umbra]

soon™️

[arctic grove]

Hourglass stadium only really suffered from the same problem all launch maps did anyway. Like it absolutely could have been incorporated into hourglass as a major component but it was at the far left side of everyone’s screen and was internally designed like shit anyway

[calm bison]

Yknow what? Fuck it

[crimson umbra]

[ebon pilot]

there's 80 weapons in the game?

[calm bison]

DICE release the next game but don’t provide any post launch content

Just keep churning these things out

[lilac dust]

A teaser trailer is meant to tease. Not show the most out of the way aspect that nobody will notice when the season even launches.

[nova idol]

They did that for 2042

[shell ermine]

2042 is a bad Battlefield at its core, doesn't mean you are wrong for enjoying it, but that's why people got so mad over BFV support being cut but don't care if 2042 support gets cut

[nova idol]

Kek

[raven haven]

oh wise moderator
I must ask for your wisdom on this conversation

[stone cradle]

Correction, the ~10% of the devs that are still on this game are keeping its head above water for as long as they can

[remote kiln]

no the radar missiles are the bomb, it is a carpet bomb run that we see in the trailer, the emp is a secondary tool

[calm bison]

No see 2042 got post launch content

[bold charm]

So theres gonna be destruction like bf5 and bf1?

[stone cradle]

It's clear their main focus is on the next game

[arctic grove]

i wouldn't make an argument that 2042 is one of your greatest game of all time; cause it's not, but i will respect your opinion

[arctic grove]

Counting what’s mostly portal weapons that nobody cares about anyway because they just do not function very well, but yeah

[calm bison]

I’m asking DICE to make a new game and then completely abandon it

[naive quiver]

DICE hate + 1 million confirmed

[summer lake]

I love 2042 for its interesting setting and narrative but post S4 it was dead to me

[solar tinsel]

Haven looks like a good map. It's kinda wild we've gone this long without an urban map, and its wild to think it's taken this long to get one (no, Kalediscope doesn't really qualify IMO).

Hard to say for sure without playing, but at first glance Haven may be one of the better 2042 maps. Definitely some minor Karkand vibes (and of course, Atacama Desert obviously)

[pine roost]

Actually is there a season overview page like last time or is this just dev comments and stuff he’s collected?

[topaz crown]

So, you're not allowed to dislike a game in the franchise. I've loved every other BF but this one I dislike and that's just not acceptable?

[rose fiber]

It shouldn't be a problem if there's no post launch content as long as launch content is good enough for what you paid for

[solar tinsel]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/season-7-turning-point

[arctic grove]

im kinda impressed dice didn't give up on 2042

[tepid dove]

I hope more portal weapons make it to all out warfare. Snipers primarily

[crimson umbra]

There are always projects going on at DICE, new ones and current ones. You just wont know about new ones until the time being

[calm bison]

What I’m saying is that They should just release the game and who cares if the game is broken. No patches

[pine roost]

Radar is the bomb? I thought radar was just aa

[calm bison]

Just keep making new battlefields

[arctic grove]

Have you ever considered tho, that people are criticizing its flaws, I mean if this is your opinion great but I feel like there’s a lot of people like you who coerce yourself out of spite for others to enjoy a game that just is not that good

[raven haven]

I love the game
it's not anywhere near my greatest game of all time
that top 5 goes to (in no particular order)
battlefield 4
battlefield 5
gran turismo 7
ghost recon Wildlands
farming simulator 22 (go away I love this game!!)

[naive quiver]

Didn’t give up until actual 2042

[pine roost]

Cheers

[crimson umbra]

understand that games these days take times and if there's a new Battlefield on the making you wont know until announced

[raven haven]

people don't understand that anymore

[solar tinsel]

and lets keep it this way. Last thing we need is another rushed 2042-esque launch

[stone cradle]

EA said in a call that the game doing very well in the f2p period back in Christmas gave them extra confidence in it

[nova idol]

I doubt the next bf will be good

[raven haven]

to be fair I had a blast with how buggy the game was

[pine roost]

@remote kiln wait now I’m conflicted

[shell ermine]

Games are too expensive to make and take too long to make anymore

[bold charm]

Thats fine tbh I find BF2042 really enjoyable despite it's flaws compared to MW2.5

[nova idol]

Theyre keeping specialists

[arctic grove]

But people do understand it, we’ve been getting information about it for the past year and a half if not two

[nova idol]

They wont lower the playercount either

[calm bison]

Making back your launch numbers will do that for you

[ebon pilot]

dice should just shadow-drop everything. don't even hype anything. don't give the haters time to react. just say "hey look content" and disappear

[crimson umbra]

atm part of DICE is supporting Battlefield 2042 and still releasing content for it

[nova idol]

Its fucked already

[remote kiln]

unless I'm misinterpreting what he said and the radar missiles are a third slot, it will have carpet bombs, emp at a minimum, one of those two options

[solar tinsel]

It still felt Battlefield to me, but it was not good. The lack of content at launch was also brutal, and that stemmed from them having to play catchup

[arctic grove]

gr wildlands was too big for my liking, not nonetheless i love the gunplay and the bolivia setting

[lilac dust]

NO FUCKING WAY...... THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE IS ONLY SHOWING "NEW MAP" NOT PLURAL. THEY DON'T EVEN SHOW STADIUM. IT'S LIKE THEY'RE SLOWLY BACKPEDALLING ALREADY HOPING NOBODY WILL NOTICE IT'S ONLY 1 NEW MAP 🤣

[raven haven]

I miss the ladder launch bug

[stone cradle]

Is your pfp Amon from LOK? Based

[nova idol]

Well creatives have doubled down on them

[topaz crown]

Love how people can't answer another opinion.

[nova idol]

In interviews

[calm bison]

AFAIK they’re not making any new 128 player maps

[remote kiln]

uhh well yeah carpet bombs and emp only then

[naive quiver]

I will wait and see what Enders will say about this new season

[calm bison]

The next game is rumored to have classes and just 64p maps

They’re playing it safe

[arctic grove]

I’d play it if it were given a 60fps patch on ps5 but I know that ain’t happening so meh

[raven haven]

good!!

[stone cradle]

[arctic grove]

I’ll probably buy it on PC some day

[crimson umbra]

[junior galleon]

farming simulator is a based take

[raven haven]

128 was a big mistake

[calm bison]

No that’s not good! Because now DICE is just playing it safe, or something

[junior galleon]

who said that

[sturdy otter]

i didn't see any new maps

[drowsy rose]

Nah 128 is a grand idea the fact it actually works is impressive and geniuely opens up possibilities

[lilac dust]

Look I appreciate that stadium was obviously challenging to bring back, but they really should have bit the bullet on this one and still said 1 new map and 1 reprised map

[pine roost]

Ah. Well at least they are big enough to be seen and shot down…
Oh wait

[rose fiber]

My problem with Wildlands (also Breakpoint) was that missions were way to repetitive

[sturdy otter]

i only saw reboot maps

[calm bison]

We’re not allowed to like anything these devs do

[tepid dove]

For all my hating though, it does seem like stadium will have good destruction

[jovial slate]

Yeah there is nothing new or anything to revolutionise gaming like they did with bf1

[shell ermine]

It doesn't work though

[raven haven]

i think it'd be brilliant if the maps weren't the size of the isle of man

[tepid dove]

I think those panels can be blown off the side

[arctic grove]

It’s good conceptually but isn’t worth the trade offs we’ve had to take with the franchise

[sturdy otter]

Stadium is glasshour

[calm bison]

We don’t know that yet

[sturdy otter]

hourglass

[remote kiln]

I said before but we don't know how the stealth mechanic works, it seems to be only out of combat (a timer), based on what the trailer shows

[calm bison]

All we have is player count confirmation and that they are not bringing back specialists

[safe palm]

Are we ever gonna see the unreleased portal weapons that temporyal datamined ages ago? I’m still biting my nails waiting for the ump
