battlefield-2042

[raven haven]

bit of an exaggeration as the maps aren't 572km² 😭

[jovial slate]

Yeah true but we'll see

Very much so yes

[tepid dove]

Just give me a city map
Because hourglass and kaleidoscope don't count, most of their play area is a big fucking open space.

I want actual combat on the streets

[junior galleon]

bf1 didnt revolutionize gaming

[stone cradle]

I mean, that's Haven..

[full burrow]

why does the little video show an AR before the update and then LMG to show after update? didnt want to keep things consistent?

[sturdy otter]

I dunno i would of preferred strike at karkand

[raven haven]

Venice or Dublin would be absolutely perfect

[calm bison]

Like I just tire of all the constant negativity about 2042. Yes it’s deserved, yes I understand where it comes from, but goddamn it guys give it a rest we get it some of this shit didn’t land for you

[vocal tusk]

Less than playing it safe...they are playing it smart. Ill be happy if they abandon 128P modes and give us a current gen only BF game. 😄

[raven haven]

or London

[calm bison]

Stop being a broken radio

[dire hawk]

will the 2 new maps release at the start of S7 ?

[safe palm]

Hourglass and kaleidoscope are a desert map and a field map pretending to be city maps

[junior galleon]

checks out

[sturdy otter]

Strike and karkan map would of been better ><

[stone cradle]

But it was very immersive!!

[tepid dove]

Again I mean like skyscrapers and shit

[dire hawk]

cuz the jet and the lmg will release in 7.2

[raven haven]

how much I'd love to see Dublin in a game

[solar tinsel]

I wish ha, but Haven still looks good

[sturdy otter]

Well we have to see how it plays next week i guess

[jovial slate]

At the time it did, especially with its graphics that are still up to todays standards as well as the destruction but bf4 succeeds in that most

[arctic grove]

i want the north korea map to return ngl

[dire hawk]

will the 2 new maps release at the start of S7 ?

[sturdy otter]

guns ready

[shell ermine]

With some of the worst gameplay in BF before 2042

[sturdy otter]

irish ready

[remote kiln]

@limber raft not sure if you seen but armoured kill responded to your post saying the stealth bomber doesn't have radar missiles

[pine roost]

We’ll see. For some reason the website doesn’t cover it at all so we have no clue for the time being

[tepid dove]

I really want London. It was where Irish was in the exodus short, why the hell don't we have that as a map? Add a flood event just like floodzone

[solar tinsel]

Lord I hope so ha, thats a good point

[raven haven]

only 1 from what I'm hearing

[sturdy otter]

time to farm some noobs 😄

[solar tinsel]

oy

[lilac dust]

Season 7 : Arica town, Battle for the Stadium. That's the new name folks

[safe palm]

Being flat isn’t the problem because Shanghai and propaganda are generally pretty flat

[dire hawk]

where did you see that ?

[stone cradle]

But it was historically accurate was it not?

[safe palm]

It’s too open is the issue

[raven haven]

a London map would work perfectly

[last mountain]

The thing is they wouldn't be undergoing all the flack if they didn't mislead people into thinking we we're going to be getting 2 NEW maps

[silk surge]

Why do I have a strong feeling that Draugr will launch insanely broken.

[raven haven]

I heard here that stadium is mid season
might be wrong

[jovial slate]

That would be cool, they did that with a bf4 map, that was alot if fun to play

[remote kiln]

it's not coming out at season launch

[last mountain]

it's the misleading that's the problem

[calm bison]

I’m not referring to the S7 flak, I’m referring to all the negativity surrounding the game for the last 3 years

[silk surge]

I know, but when it does.

[arctic grove]

BF1 gameplay is fine except for newer players who get confused about how to counter elites, sweet spot or expecting it to be a documentary of history

[remote kiln]

oh yeah I wouldn't be surprised

[tepid dove]

Yeah especially because the flood was a player caused levolution

[stone cradle]

The secret benefit to the ultimate pass

[pine roost]

Oh wait really?

Dang :(

[tepid dove]

Bayonet go shank

[remote kiln]

u7.2

[arctic grove]

Like it has broken shit absolutely but BFV isn’t much better with balancing either is my take on it

[dire hawk]

it's not on the big ass poster at the end of the trailer so I'm wondering

[shell ermine]

At least two of the best "Battlefield" games ever made and being re-released on Thursday

[jovial slate]

Yeah that aswell

[last mountain]

Oh yeah that's fair, people do over complain about this game far too much over small things

[silk surge]

Like, it's probably going to be like launch-day Stealth Heli on steroids.

[pine roost]

D:

[safe palm]

What flak is season 7 releasing? All the stuff I’ve seen for it looks good especially compared to other seasons

[vocal tusk]

I mean...its a jet. So even if it is insanely broken...about 0.1% of the playerbase will be able to use it. #SkillIssues

[safe palm]

Beloved guns, two maps, new vehicle

[limber raft]

Thanks. I will update the post.

[solar tinsel]

I get that, but that said, we should use our brains too:

We're not being asked to pay upfront for anything (its free content anyway) and also, let's consider the fact that EVERY SEASON has only had ONE new map each time.

Not hard to deduce.

[remote kiln]

np

[safe palm]

Pearl market pls

[sturdy otter]

its a drone not a jet

[solar tinsel]

Nobody is being "ripped off" here

[raven haven]

Bfbulletin?!

[cosmic dragon]

It’s had shit from beta I’ve just gotten used to it

[calm bison]

My one surprise is that the AK-5C is getting its actual name instead a weird twist on it

[silk surge]

Jets aren't that hard tbh

[topaz crown]

A rest? People paid for this, they're allowed to criticize all they want.

[raven haven]

nice

[jovial slate]

These past seasons where actually really well made wnd original, this one is just lackluster imo

[dire hawk]

do you know if the 2 maps will drop at the start of the season ?

[arctic grove]

Or behemoths which yes, are massive sponges but you can literally disable components on them and teams almost entirely focus on them before they go back to objectives anyway, they can be effective but they’re definitely not broken

[spare pasture]

Ak-5c was probably supposed to be a portal weapon probably like the g36c

[patent path]

no

[tepid dove]

God I wish we had proper separate stealth jets and attack jets. If they want to stretch content, put portal vehicles in AOW. I'd love to pop tanks in the Warthog

[safe palm]

The skorpion has its name from bf4 too doesn’t it

[stone cradle]

Bro he's not dice

[safe palm]

Or is it slightly different

[remote kiln]

they are not both coming out at the start no

[calm bison]

They are allowed to criticize the game but if I spent 3 years telling you that something you enjoyed sucked nonstop you would get tired, wouldn’t you

[tepid dove]

It's me, I'm John Dice

[remote kiln]

stadium is second alacama desert is first

[solar tinsel]

also a heads up

[vocal tusk]

using them effectgively is. Its not like an uber broken tank you can camp on a hill with. You have to actually constantly fly a jet for it to be an issue.

[silk surge]

Btw, thanks for listing the stadium as a rework and not as a new map. DICE should have done that.

[raven haven]

one thing I NEED in the next battlefield is a true nightmap like Shanghai BF4 CTE or Zavod 311 Graveyard Shift

[arctic grove]

Someone with DICE spoke on this last year, unfortunately it’d be difficult to implement cause their flight model(?) is different

[spare pasture]

Superpower: Dripfeeding and raising expectations

[solar tinsel]

the Stealth Jet will not be releasing at launch either, will release alongside 7.2

[oak sedge]

I'm not getting my hopes up but please do this

[solar tinsel]

so, late S7

[ebon pilot]

what about manifest

[velvet sand]

Twice as long a wait for at best a slightly larger content drop. Thrilling stuff from DICE as a studio, but I at least appreciate the small skeleton crew left working on 2042 doing their best.

[spare pasture]

Bitch what

[oak sedge]

wtf there's no way that's true

[tepid dove]

Manifesting the MRAP

[safe palm]

I would love if they put serious work into atmosphere and factions

[next onyx]

EVOLUTION would have been good for the EVO. :D

But.

I don't mind.

[arctic grove]

Me too

[calm bison]

I’m just happy we’re getting the scorpion at all

[last mountain]

it's free though it's being paid for via microtransactions and yes every season has had 1 new map, but each new season didn't take 5 months to come out, they also told us from the get go what we were going to be getting in each, 1 new map, 1 rework, here they straight up said 2 new maps

[calm bison]

Can we get the AWM in S8 please?

[solar tinsel]

yup, fine print at end of S7 trailer @spare pasture

[safe palm]

It would kick ass so hard if they had like a terror cell faction where their light Jeep is a pickup with a turret on the back and stuff like that

[spare pasture]

I wonder if it’ll be tpcvs us or just the us vs ru

[oak sedge]

bruh.

[raven haven]

technically speaking still 1 map 1 rework

[tepid dove]

The reason why BF1 is cited as the best battlefield (aesthetically) is genuinely because of its atmosphere. You feel like you're in battle

[stone cradle]

ok now time to speculate s8 content

[calm bison]

What recoil? hipfires

[safe palm]

Legitimately

[last mountain]

true lmao

[shell ermine]

I just hope no specialists mean that proper visually discernable factions are back with the next game

[calm bison]

Also

Also

DRUM MAG FOR THE SCORPION

[spare pasture]

Nothing!

[raven haven]

I'm happy stadium and hourglass are separate
atleast players now have a reason to enter the Stadium
seriously was underused in pre rework

[solar tinsel]

I'm just out here checkin the details and fine print dont mind me 😆

[stone cradle]

We must have faith

[remote kiln]

my guess they'll probably if it's being worked on announce it towards the end again

[tepid dove]

I just want China or Japan as a faction. US and Russia is a bit old, some diversity would be nice. Especially given we're "non-patriated". Invent new countries or something even

[arctic grove]

BF1 gameplay wise is really overhated in recent times for weird reasons tbh, like everyone compliments the immersion. That’s absolutely true, but I find it funny whenever someone’s like “that’s all that game has” cause that’s just, not possible for a video game

[solar tinsel]

I agree with this, they are better separated, unless the Hourglass rework was even more subtantial which is probably not worth the squeeze timewise

[lilac dust]

Bungie have never had an issue conveying to their community that they are going to release "REPRISED" MAPS or actual "NEW" MAPS..... Not a good look dice. You're gonna need at least 2 more seasons to build trust back before the next battlefield lmao

[stone cradle]

And I feel like we'll get another year of support. They'll probably drop the game next year and go full steam ahead with the next one

[raven haven]

half a map 2 guns 3 and a half skins and a broken helicopter

[last mountain]

I understand they're a skeleton team and im glad they're still putting out content but atleast be transparent with us so we're not let down after a 5 month wait

[oak sedge]

China's never gonna be a faction again considering the backlash from BF4

[raven haven]

when I mean broken helicopter I mean a helicopter wreck

[topaz crown]

Absolutely I would, however I paid $90 for this game. In my honesty opinion it just feels like Call of Duty x Free to Play shooter. It doesn't feel like it's had my money's worth.

I also get where you are coming from. I just want a Battlefield again, one that makes me play for hours on end not 3 mins and get bored.

[calm bison]

The problem here is that when looking at most other aspects of BF1, the immersion factor is the only one that really stands out. The overall gameplay is kinda lackluster

[spare pasture]

That’s season 1

[raven haven]

what happened with that?

[tepid dove]

There was backlash?

[shell ermine]

Conquest was an absolute mess at launch and the gunplay never really rose above mediocre

[stone cradle]

Yeah, I don't see them abandoning the game now

[remote kiln]

the stadium is redone yes, we'll need to see how distinctive it is from the first

[unkempt plinth]

BF1 is my main battlefield game and my favorite, I remember playing it for the first time a month after launch on 2016.

[safe palm]

I don’t really see Japan but China is definitely ideal. I would love smaller scale factions too, a us versus terrorists desert map would be absolutely sweet

[rose fiber]

You will still most likely have skins that don't fit the theme of BF. Especially if it's true that it'll have f2p mode like Cod does.

[calm bison]

Fair enough

[stone cradle]

Probably after S10 or 11

[oak sedge]

Oh yeah the Chinese got really upset taht they were portrayed as villains in BF4

[remote kiln]

I'm not expecting 10 seasons

[raven haven]

tbf we did literally get half a map considering the other half fell down the hill 😭

[junior galleon]

or sharqi

[oak sedge]

It's why in all of the DLC trailers China is shown to be super duper strong and winning

[junior galleon]

i always liked sharqi better

[arctic grove]

I can’t compliment on what you mean by launch but that’s all battlefield games I suppose, I think bf1 conquest did well with the linear boundaries which made conquest play a lot smoother

[tepid dove]

With a weapon system and gunplay closer to BFV, it would be the best title ever

[shell ermine]

BFV took the immersion of BF1 and added fantastic gameplay

[raven haven]

😂 ffs

[oak sedge]

and of course I mean the player base

[stone cradle]

Oh yeah I forgot they're probably doubling the gap between the seasons now, so 9 is reasonable

[oak sedge]

not the government

(at least I think)

[lilac dust]

It just makes no sense. It's like they felt pressured by the suits to just straight up lie about content we're getting to boost hype numbers so they can tell EA the playerbase is healthy

[arctic grove]

BFV gunplay is really overrated tho imo, people critique the systems in 1 and 4 but then you play V and the same randomness exists there as well

[calm bison]

Nothing IMO will hit harder than Twisted Steel in the rain with your entire team on the D flag

Just WW2 perfection

[last mountain]

S8 breakaway damavand peak remake is gonna hit

[rose fiber]

Wasn't the story of BF4 that someone in China did hostile takeover and actual president was good?

[calm bison]

Mustangs, Tigers, Sherman’s, STGs, Garands, all of it

[safe palm]

The funky skins always ruin it for me tbh, I’ll be in with the map atmosphere and then the actual Lawrence of Arabia runs by and I remember I’m playing a video game

[velvet sand]

I mean, this is exactly what happened at launch and in the months leading up to it rofl.

[raven haven]

weren't ridgline gonna do that in 2042 for portal

[oak sedge]

There was a rogue Chinese general or something, similar to BF3 having a a rogue US general

[velvet sand]

No, totally separate narrative BF game.

[shell ermine]

Iwo Jima Breakthrough, Wake Island Conquest... get chills just thinking of it

[stone cradle]

no when you're in Rotterdam running with your sten and the sun hits your face and the glorious match start theme starts

[safe palm]

I don’t have anything with skins I just wish they would let me turn it off

[raven haven]

I want portal in BF2025

[calm bison]

That hits too

[lilac dust]

I guess if they know most people have moved on from the game then they don't feel like they have much to lose with however they market this game

[calm bison]

After how it’s been handled in 2042 by both DICE and the community, portal doesn’t deserve to make a return

[arctic grove]

I mean idk man, that game had a ton of content and maps, it was pretty enjoyable all around, and you’d have a point if you criticized shitty mechanics like sweet spot but then again balancing issues follow every Battlefield game

[last mountain]

Yeah it just hurts DICE's rep not the execs who formulate this shit

[next onyx]

My experience with the sten on bf5 are those weirdos that crouch run everywhere with zoom snap on.

[arctic grove]

Granted let’s not get sweet spot or just any bad mechanics preferably

[rose fiber]

Then why complain lol, it's not like country itself was bad with it's population supporting bad guy. It was simply bad individual pulling some strings

[safe palm]

By what metric? Being ignored by dice and having no content added doesn’t mean portal wasn’t a great idea

[junior galleon]

bf3 didnt have a rogue us general

[next onyx]

People want to be rewarded somehow with barely any effort.

[raven haven]

I just want it or a solo mode I really don't like playing against real people, I'm so bad at FPS games

[stone cradle]

Atleast they aren't the type2a try hards

I'm one of them

[next onyx]

Type 2 a people were funny because it was no different than the suomi.

[arctic grove]

Me personally I’d still like sniping in bf1 cause the guns have high velocity, so they feel snappy

[next onyx]

Yeah and that's fine.

[calm bison]

I want you to go into Portal and tell me how many gamemodes there are that are actually creative outside of 800% damage milsim Afghan War servers

[next onyx]

I liked sniping on bf5 and to an extent this game.

[shell ermine]

That feeling when you only use an M1 Garand

[spare pasture]

Day 481 of waiting for a new shotgun

[safe palm]

That’ll happen when the only thing that gets added is weapons. If they had supported it properly I guarantee it would have a lot more going on

[next onyx]

I made so many people mad with the BAR.

I loved that thing.

But not as much as my Fg42.

[raven haven]

I remember I had one where it was attack helicopters Vs people with very good throwing and Mackay grapple hooks

[junior pike]

[next onyx]

But that game is behind me. Just annoying to play now.

[severe oyster]

2 maps 1 gun 6 months???!!?!

[spare quest]

1 map

[ebon pilot]

but there's literally only 3 kinds of interesting shotguns and we have all of them:

• pump
• auto
• semi-auto

and the semi-auto is double cool because it has two barrels
shotguns no longer needed we have all of them

[raven haven]

there's this fella who makes all BF trailer in 60fps

[raven haven]

EZC task force is his bame

[severe oyster]

i think its 2 new maps

[royal swan]

2 maps, one new, one upgraded and reworked

[arctic grove]

If only people didn’t say this, it’s absolutely true but if y’all knew how much shit China censors anyways we shouldn’t be worried about what their government would think when we can just get a fun game

[stone cradle]

Boring fact: the new map has the shortest name ever for a 2042 map

[safe palm]

Variety is the spice of life

[pine roost]

If it’s anything like the muramets it won’t need any skill.

So given that, I’m curious to see how they intend to balance it given it can literally go invisible

[chilly jacinth]

we needed a double barrel shotgun

[lilac dust]

Nope just 1 new map. They were very comfortable lying with the community

[junior pike]

There seems to be nothing wrong with what you said. Because of the plot of BF4, EA lost the Chinese market and did not return to the Chinese market until BF2042.

[severe oyster]

yea i aint returning hahahaha

[next onyx]

Yeah was gonna say it's a fucking bomber.

[arctic grove]

But I totally get if dice actually wants their game to be able to sell in china so it is what it is

[safe palm]

We already have all the interesting types of assault rifle and smg but they’re still adding two this season, and it’s great

[ebon pilot]

maybe as a secondary, but like we already have a super shorty

[next onyx]

They don't require any semblance of braincells to work with.

[oak sedge]

If there's more to the stadium than there was before then I am willing to give DICE the benefit of the doubt and say they really do think it's a new map

[shell ermine]

Eh, less cheaters without them

[oak sedge]

if it's just the same stadium with different/new flag placements then wow

[spare pasture]

I want the m1014

[arctic grove]

Them Chinese bf1/v hackers ohmuhlord

[stone cradle]

True but companies love trying to please China no matter what

[lilac dust]

Nothing I saw in that trailer looked new to me besides a few pieces of added cover lol

[split ember]

Seems there's new access points and stadium destruction

[solar tinsel]

Ok, so it's 1 new map and 1 new rework.

[nova idol]

I bet the middle of the arena is still filled with sand

[oak sedge]

It would probably really help if they didn't make half of the stadium buried

yeah exactly

[lilac dust]

Pretty sure the outside part of the stadium could always have bits fall off

[solar tinsel]

Again, I'm all for constructive criticism, but this is not the hill to die on

[oak sedge]

If it's still half a stadium then I don't know how to feel about this

[split ember]

It didn't

[solar tinsel]

Nobody is getting "cheated" here

[tawny carbon]

Dam the rumors and leaks is true.

[safe palm]

Wait so stadium isn’t its own map? I thought they were cutting the old stadium into its own new map and we would have current hourglass AND new stadium map

[royal swan]

The stadium is its own map

[solar tinsel]

It will be its own map, called "Stadium" I believe

[pine roost]

I’d say the number of heli pilots who crash off spawn is about equal to the number of jet users who bail or crash. But just thinking back to the ease of launch stealth heli it won’t be much harder with a jet

[stone cradle]

I remember you saying you thought they'd never reuse the stadium

[spare pasture]

32v32 playlist

[raven haven]

such a good choice imo

[tawny carbon]

Last gen can’t handle it, so it have to be its own map

[junior pike]

battlefield has an official account on the Chinese website，So EA really likes Chinese money

[raven haven]

no one touched stadium pre workout

[last mountain]

after 5 months we are

[solar tinsel]

If you waited with bated breath for months, that you couldn't live life without 2 brand new maps in S7, that's on you 😆 you only played yourself

[lilac dust]

While they were very careful with always just saying MAPS instead of NEW leading up to this, the trailer team fucked up by finally adding the word NEW and the number 2

[last mountain]

a map rework is not a new map

[nova idol]

If the next game is 64v64 its so over

[next onyx]

There won't be any actual dive bomber strats.

[tawny carbon]

I said I doubt it due to the amount of assets and stuff for last gen

[junior galleon]

saying people dont deserve portal after the removal of rentable servers and a server browser because they made milsim servers is crazy

[safe palm]

That’s because it was way out of the way, most people agreed it was the best designed part of the map regardless

[next onyx]

You know what.

I'm gonna learn the SRAW.

[pine roost]

Go for it

[solar tinsel]

Ok great, it's 1 new and 1 rework. Now knowing what you know, what are you gonna do sue for damages? lol

[next onyx]

As fucking glitchy Tow's are in this game.

[tawny carbon]

[next onyx]

If I can murk bombers.

[solar tinsel]

I get it's a grievance, but it's a petty one

[pine roost]

I spent many an hour doing so in 4

[next onyx]

I'm gonna absolutely relish every second of it.

[pine roost]

Gonna be the next CorsairFps

[tawny carbon]

This season actually looks dope asf

[chilly jacinth]

youre gonna have to play controller for sraw calling it now

[next onyx]

Yeah I got really confused because I was thinking of the actual corsair.

[solar tinsel]

You've suffered no financial or emotional hardship as a result of it being 1 new map and 1 rework after being told "2 new"

[hard jolt]

6 months for 2 new guns and 1 new map!!!! 🤑🤑🤑

[lilac dust]

You can't get any bigger than lying about 2 new maps. You can only go down from there

[next onyx]

And that's my favourite plane.

[stone cradle]

New smg for me to T1

[chilly jacinth]

cause any small nudge on a mouse makes tows go wack

[wide shore]

3 guns*

[velvet sand]

Lis mains in shambles now that her reason for existing will be a gadget Crawford can use. Shame she can't double up on rockets.

[next onyx]

Getting everything to tier 1 is going to be extremely easy.

[last mountain]

there is no need to back them up this much, they straight up mislead, that is the deal, nothing we can do about it but it does rub alot us the wrong way

[solar tinsel]

ok but we all know what it is now, so I don't understand the main argument here

[hard jolt]

Wowzers 🤑🤑🤑

[solar tinsel]

if you truly feel that burned, never play 2042 or never buy an EA game again. I don't know what to tell you

[floral roost]

i love the new Lis skin, i think it looks dope

[ebon pilot]

lis mains get infinite rockets they won't care

[vocal tusk]

1 of the guns and the jet dont release til update 7.2 (Probably in 1.5 months time)

[pine roost]

I do hope it doesn’t inherit from vehicle sens for some stupid reason. I doubt it, but anything is possible

[tawny carbon]

Lis is op

[last mountain]

why are people not allowed to be disappointed dead sync?

[pine roost]

But regarding the bomber, did someone say it’s a drone?

[last mountain]

Im saying this as a person who was satisfied with alot of the content they've put out for 2042

[wide shore]

Yk, Jack says that but the battlepass image has that gun in the free section.

[solar tinsel]

Of course you're allowed to be disappointed, Im not saying you can't. But nobody is being 'robbed' is what Im getting at

[ebon pilot]

this isn't just disappointment this is pure salt

[raven haven]

because we paid for the game, not for the extra content, the Devs never had to make this. people should be grateful we're getting this FREE content

[barren thistle]

Looks dead

[next onyx]

I have a hunch it'l probably be unlocked in some mid season event.

think of it.

[safe palm]

Look at the asterisks next to the strife

[solar tinsel]

Being robbed is being asked to pay $X to preorder a season advertised as 2 new maps and THEN realizing after it's only 1/1

[ebon pilot]

mid season event: STADIUM TDM

[velvet sand]

oh wait the DFR isn't ccoming until 7.2 either what the hell lol

[solar tinsel]

but listen be disappointed all you want I have no issue with that

[amber kelp]

75% of this image is ugly skins

[vocal tusk]

And the jet (And probably the stadium map)

[solar tinsel]

I'd still take 1 new / 1 rework vs. 1 new only

[next onyx]

I was thinking of grind to be honest. Do you remember grind at all pizza.

[solar tinsel]

and that HAS been the precedent

[next onyx]

from bf5.

[tawny carbon]

Guns and vehicles is always free for the season pass. If not yet acquired. The following season turns past ones into challenges

[split ember]

Hey there's Delta Force: Hawk Op to look forward to if this isn't your cup of tea lmao

[ionic gale]

They pretty openly indicated the Doha location before christmas, they said they tried hard to make the stadium fit in the rework and where very open to the idea of bringing it back as TDM. It also was the landmark of the map and where people sought out action. I really do not see how people were in any shape or from tricked here.

[next onyx]

It was basically the maps re done in such a way with unique layouts.

Such as the bridge on rotterdam.

[stone cradle]

People really have faith in that?

Looks like a mobile game

[velvet sand]

So 5 month long season one of the new weapons AND the new vehicle are both not even in at launch?

[next onyx]

Condensing everyone into a meat grinder.

It also included a repaired bridge on twisted steel.

[split ember]

Well they've got boats in that game lol

[grizzled whale]

Did they give mackay his spawn beacon back yet?

[ebon pilot]

i loaded bf5 once, started the campaign, my framerate was 5, and i uninstalled the game

[spare pasture]

No

[junior galleon]

lol they advertised this support before the launch of the game they definitely had to provide it

[next onyx]

Don't expect it to be regained.

[nova idol]

They are a business, we dont have to be grateful for anything

[wide shore]

I know. But why advertise it as part of the battlepass when it’s gonna be locked until mid season?

[amber kelp]

give me one reason to play hawk ops over bf4

[grizzled whale]

sadge

[patent path]

because

[spare pasture]

Don’t download it on a ps3

[dapper river]

cope, get good, coordinate with your team, L, ratio, etc

[last mountain]

But they're using the live service model, it's free because they make money via the skins hence why the biggest portion of both the trailer and the season graphic IS the skins and that's not even touching the point about being mislead

[ebon pilot]

i had a 2080!

[split ember]

newer game I guess and futuristic gadgets. And you get to fight alligators lmao

[raven haven]

they didn't advertise support up to S7 until Christmas

[stone cradle]

You played a campaign in a BF game? That's not what a true BF fan would do

[next onyx]

Embed.

[grizzled whale]

But did you get a kill at 16500 dpi at 100 sensitivity though

[next onyx]

Cmon.

[nova idol]

3x more skins than pieces of real content lol

[wide shore]

True. I didn’t think about that

[spare pasture]

Bro you’re pc had a stroke

[next onyx]

Dumbass discord.

[velvet sand]

So new season is 2 new maps, 2 new guns, new gadget, other changes - third gun and actual new vehicle delayed until 7.2 which will come out like a month+ after the season ships?

[amber kelp]

newer game I guess
Lol.
consumerist brainrot

[tawny carbon]

I mean 😪 if it’s mid season update. Then it’s gonna be a challenge if that.

[last mountain]

robbed of nothing financial ofc

[dapper river]

https://tenor.com/view/aimbot-gif-20260847

[lilac dust]

Season 4 was the end of their contractual obligation for support for the game

[junior galleon]

most likely it was planned before the launch of the game as well

[grizzled whale]

that was basically me that one time

[amber kelp]

wait a minute why the hell are the allies on the east?

[ebon pilot]

that's the first thing i normally do! i play the campaign for the tutorial and then i get my ass kicked online because i was 2 years late

[next onyx]

The stadium being redone reminds me of that.

[tawny carbon]

I play at 2cm/360 at 3200 dpi.

[chilly jacinth]

i hated this map

[wide shore]

Grind on twisted steel was so dope

[next onyx]

What about it?

[royal swan]

Loved this map

[chilly jacinth]

cause the sides of the map sucks

[next onyx]

What does it matter with the allies spawning eastward.

[royal swan]

Such a good map

[grizzled whale]

Thats not 100 sens 16500 dpi though

[chilly jacinth]

only the middle is fun to play

[spare pasture]

No Karkand or gulf of oman

[amber kelp]

should be coming from the west right?

[next onyx]

No wtf are you on about.

They've always spawned there.

[wide shore]

I can see plenty of Karkand inspiration in the new map tbh

[junior galleon]

gulf of oman is such an overrated map

[stone cradle]

Only thing that map was good for was tdm

[next onyx]

Axis has always spawned left mode and the Allies right most.

[tawny carbon]

That’s just insane precision micro movements dawg.

[stone cradle]

Picking engineer, building a pak and farming kills

[spare pasture]

I haven’t even played gulf of Oman

[amber kelp]

Im talking in general not like its a bug. Why did they put them there?

[stone cradle]

Until enemies in chat scream their teammates to come and kill me because I'm picking them off like insects

[pine roost]

Does karkand have strings in its theme by any chance?

[royal swan]

Honestly happy there is no secondaries for this season

[thick stone]

is there an new update today?

[spare pasture]

No! ❤️

[stone cradle]

Next week

[thick stone]

thank you!

[lilac dust]

Season 7 : Turning Point ....... PFFFFT ...... More like Turning Off the game to go play something else AMIRIGHT

[spare pasture]

Bf4 metro 300%

[stone cradle]

Nobody is forcing you to play

[solar tinsel]

I thought people did that 6 seasons ago

[junior galleon]

turning point of going down the shitter looooool

[next onyx]

Dude what the fuck are you on about. Don't expect me to answer a question that I have no idea wtf it is.

[lilac dust]

I have to immediately let you know that I'm actually excited to play the new season. I just had to slot that joke in at some point sooner or later

[royal swan]

I believe they switched , I think it was a older layout

[silk jasper]

wait why did they bring back stadium as a new map 💀

[next onyx]

Like they come in from a certain direction why does it mean so much.

[amber kelp]

what Im saying is that dice put the allies on the wrong fucking side am im only noticing now

[stone cradle]

[next onyx]

Nah it's been the same side since ever observer.

[junior galleon]

in bfv wake island?

[silk jasper]

trailer as epic as usual but content ass as usual 😢

[pine roost]

What if, bear with me for a second, it’s flipped and that’s actually the west 😎

[royal swan]

The one you are thinking is the US vs Germany layout

[amber kelp]

that one was painfully obvious

[next onyx]

The actual spawns are done in accordance with breakthrough.

[spare pasture]

1 seasons content for 2 seasons of wait

[royal swan]

They switch layout when they brought over the Americans

[next onyx]

They didn't.

[nova idol]

Its crazy because we waited how much longer just for this "extra map" to be something that was already in the game

[next onyx]

Oh yeah fun fact.

Twisted steel is the only time the Americans are on defence.

[royal swan]

Really? I remember playing attacking on that bridge map as Americans

Huh

[next onyx]

You could be thinking of rush.

[royal swan]

It's been years since I played

[pine roost]

People were asking for it though, so they got what they asked for. Which is funny

[next onyx]

Wait no.

[amber kelp]

you waited longer cause they got a skeleton crew on this

[royal swan]

Like years

[next onyx]

Rush has the germans on attack.

Yeah it's been a while for me too.

[silk jasper]

they'll never release stadium as a standalone feature map in a season, this season is basically + 1.25 maps

[patent pivot]

Let me ask you this.
Is there a single map where the US is the defender

[lilac dust]

Season 8 is out of the question now I think. They needed 2 seasons worth of time to get stadium up and running and give us arica harbor 2.0

[next onyx]

I just fucking told you.

[patent pivot]

In rush mode

Not BT

[amber kelp]

are you deliberatley missing peoples point or just oblivious?

[spare pasture]

Previous seasons had reworks

[next onyx]

Specify first then. Also. I doubt.

[nova idol]

Yeah but why did dice try to hide that this wasnt an entirely new map

[amber kelp]

^

[nova idol]

Like people werent gonna realize?

[velvet sand]

Previous seasons didn't have half a skeleton crew left with the rest of the team working on the next BF. Not that it's an excuse, but it's context.

[nova idol]

Misleading people on purpose is crazy

[amber kelp]

like yeah bring back the stadium. thats a great idea. But dont say "OOOH NEW MAP"

[spare pasture]

Bro this games post launch content was by the skeleton crew

[junior galleon]

people have been saying skeleton crew since 3 months after launch tho

[pine roost]

Just having a laugh

[nova idol]

"We'll be giving you two maps" and the word "map" in every other context in the past has meant a full size, brand new map.

[copper fulcrum]

Same here bud. Same here. This situation is hilarious.

[velvet sand]

ok and they've been right this whole time based on the incredible output of "not much" in all this time. I don't care if they rest of the team was finishing core development on the rest of the game, not my problem they shipped a deeply incomplete game.

[next onyx]

I don't think they meant to intentionally mislead. But however I know how they've meant to be intepreted has been up to debate.

[lilac dust]

Ok jokes aside, stadium will probably end up being a fan favourite because as long as it's just the stadium and a portion of the surrounding area then it'll probably play like an elevated redacted

[amber kelp]

sorry Ive seen so many bad takes that I could not discern that you werent serious

[next onyx]

I don't even mind the stadium to be honest. Though I'm disappointed it isn't a "new" map.

[pine roost]

But at face value, I’m looking forward to the new map. Looks to tick a fair few boxes for me

[stone cradle]

We must be asking the real questions, like why is the server icon static instead of animated like it was before?

[lilac dust]

I second this

[amber kelp]

I dont think anyone is actually opposed to the stadium itself

[next onyx]

Good question. I don't know.

[stone cradle]

An admin does it right? Probably couldn't be bothered, fair

[nova idol]

I dont mind that stadium is coming but would it have been so hard to admit this wasnt a fully sized map, nor an original one

[lilac dust]

For sure. I just think the fun that will be had on it come season 7 is being hugely overshadowed by the 2 new map dissapointment which is totally fair

[amber kelp]

or say "map variant"

[nova idol]

Its not like peoples expectations were super high before they said "2 maps"

[copper fulcrum]

The brand new map gives me Strike at Karkand vibes tbh

[junior galleon]

they didnt want to pay another animator

[lilac dust]

1 new map, 1 reprised map. It's not that hard DICE. Many other studios do this

[junior galleon]

why do people keep saying that its much more like a bad company 2 map

[acoustic seal]

they had to drop only half of the update to prove me wrong lmao

[lilac dust]

Gives me arica harbor that's already in the game just being adjusted a little bit with more buildings and no train track or construction site VIBES

[copper fulcrum]

Because it's definitely using Arica Harbor assets

[acoustic seal]

7.2 coming this summer and s8 coming winter 2025

[next onyx]

I was thinking of Sharqi peninsila to be honest.

[copper fulcrum]

Also a good comparison

[patent pivot]

Epicenter map when

[ivory canopy]

I want M1 Garand and M95 as vault weapons

[junior galleon]

how is it at all like sharqi

[velvet sand]

Why would DICE ever have clear communications when they could instead be vague, which has consistently only resulted in frustration and disappointment. Are you expecting DICE to learn? The studio has chown themselves incapable as an entity of learning, apparently.

[next onyx]

Urban.

[pine roost]

Now though I’m keen to see what the patch notes bring

[nova idol]

I will be surprised if they make a new bf game before 2026, the way things are looking

[copper fulcrum]

Amiens is another good comparison.

[nova idol]

Dice never learns their lesson

[royal swan]

I do believe that there will be a s8, only for the fact that it will complete year 2. I believe there will never be a season 9

[pine roost]

Since of course Eddie said this would be a good vehicle patch. The bomber is cool I guess, if it’s balanced well. But there could be other things in there if interest

[next onyx]

That's good though.

[calm bison]

We will have to see

[copper fulcrum]

DICE has no real control when a new game comes out or their deadline. That's all EA I imagine

[lilac dust]

Here's the thing, it's fine that it's using arica harbor for all the assets, but they really should have got more creative with it. Why not just put arica harbor buildings on tarmac road and change the colors of the buildings and remove the sand. It would be a lot more unique

[next onyx]

The more time they have to work on the less shit the launch will be.

[calm bison]

Personally I’m gonna hope that we get at least up to S10 but that’s just wishful thinking

[royal swan]

That's a bit pushing it.

[crude wave]

Facts

[velvet sand]

Don't worry, they could always Anthem it and blow almost all their development time being directionless : 3

[calm bison]

We’ve already gone past the average post launch life cycle for a battlefield game

[patent path]

s8 is probably the last

[placid echo]

I didn't see a new takedown

[next onyx]

I doubt DICE are that directionless.

[crude wave]

To be fair we had to wait over half a year for season 1

[warped pulsar]

I hope if S8 happens we get naval combat

[lilac dust]

You take arica harbor assets and you decided to put it all on ANOTHER dessert map? Like you could have made it a snowy map, a hood map, or a forest map with those buildings and change the colours of the buildings. What were they thinking not even trying to differentiate the map from arica harbor?

[copper fulcrum]

Chile mentioned

[patent path]

we wont

[pine roost]

Okay yeah, that bomber gets no AA at all. That’s good to hear

[warped pulsar]

I wonder if that Delta force game would be good. Earlier footage looked more like COD

[velvet sand]

We've been stuck on a boat since launch, but we're never getting naval combat. That'd probably require another 12 months of engine development time.

[copper fulcrum]

I don't think you wanna fight on the boat that holds many innocent lives

[lilac dust]

1000% not happening, and I'm the optimstic one when it comes to naval combat. They already put water at the forefront of their teaser trailer for season 7 and it turned out to foreshadow a kiddy pool on the edge of the new map. They're not gonna tease us with water again, not after that lol not until the next battlefield game sadly.

[ivory canopy]

If they wanted to add anything naval related they would've done so by now. I hate to say it, but a water-heavy map is out of the picture.

[nova idol]

128p was the death blow to this game

It made making maps harder and it limited what they could do

[warped pulsar]

it's a damn shame, oh well I'll play a mix of every Bf game and the new season until the new game. and if Delta force is good, that too

[next onyx]

Hey. The theme of the map is fine as long as the gameplay isn't shit.

You know.

I love snowmaps but breakaway was fucking garbage.

[copper fulcrum]

Not like we got 2 snow maps already

[next onyx]

Now I love Breakaway.

Because it properly utilises the player count and that but you know.

[wary oak]

I am curious about the Drones Cloaking ability does it prevent lock-ons while active or no?

[copper fulcrum]

It is funny that people thought the season was gonna start on the 26th tho lmao

[safe palm]

Flashpoints aesthetic was on point

[lilac dust]

Yes but we have more desert maps than snow maps in the game. Arica harbor, El Alemain, Flashpoint, hourglass. Am I forgetting any? And that's BEFORE we get the new season 7 map

[royal swan]

Lmao, yeah it's on the 19th

[copper fulcrum]

Unsure if we should count portal maps

[brazen bluff]

Iirc there was a placeholder of season 8 in game files

[safe palm]

Renewal

[junior galleon]

thats normal for a battlefield game

[lilac dust]

You right. That makes this even worse lol

[royal swan]

Renewal is half desert

[pine roost]

We don’t really know yet

Hoping we see a more detailed look later

[velvet sand]

DICE is making sure Anakin Skywalker will never play this game. Too much sand.

[next onyx]

Just hit it with the SRAW.

Learn the learn.

fuck

yes floor is floor.

Learn the SRAW.

[safe palm]

Stranded too

[copper fulcrum]

The floor here is made of floor

[lilac dust]

Holy fuck you right lol

[copper fulcrum]

I don't think we count stranded

Technically speaking

[warped pulsar]

but atleast since it's portal assets we can destroy the building again. Since all the destructions seems to be in portal

[pine roost]

Before start season bomber learn sraw me the

[lilac dust]

and now we're getting arica harbor 2.0 AND and hourglass variant. 2 more desert maps

[safe palm]

Functionally speaking it looks like a desert

[next onyx]

I forget stranded is a thing.

[safe palm]

Because it’s kinda mid lol

[lilac dust]

If season 8 comes out I wanna get the fuck out of the desert and just go to space

[next onyx]

I know that wire guideds are scuffed.

[copper fulcrum]

It's not a desert, it's a beach

[next onyx]

But it's still worth trying to learn.

[copper fulcrum]

Mars.

[junior galleon]

sand so same thing

[lilac dust]

You would say mars wouldn't you.........

[hybrid steppe]

So I guess it's pretty fair to say they've completely abandoned 128 players huh.

[warped pulsar]

Next season should be invading super earth against helldivers

[copper fulcrum]

You can't just blow a hole in the surface of Mars

[safe palm]

If we’re going off that logic then El Alamein is actually a forest map because the Sahara was once green

[lilac dust]

Alright season 8 we're going to Arrakis

[dusk falcon]

gentlemen we have been baited

2 new maps my ass

[next onyx]

Yeah. For the better.

[dusk falcon]

we are so finished

[copper fulcrum]

It's definitely a reworked stadium too

[next onyx]

It's easier to balance the maps around 64p.

[copper fulcrum]

So it is new

[safe palm]

64p just plays better

[dusk falcon]

yeah but it isnt new its recycled

its different

[next onyx]

Eh I wouldn't count it as new new but eh.

[safe palm]

128 players pretty much always becomes a clusterfuck

[junior galleon]

this water bottle i filled with flat coke is new too

[dusk falcon]

it looks like all the reqorks they did

[lilac dust]

It's a sad day to be a battlefield fan. Baited with the water in the teaser trailer. Baited by 2 new maps. I even heard the new gadget is fish bait

[dusk falcon]

just out some sand boxes and containers and boom

rework done

its sad

its really sad

[safe palm]

Literally only the season 1 map did 128p good and you can’t just fill a game with 10 exposures

[dusk falcon]

anyway how do we feel about the bomber

[copper fulcrum]

Funny how the Battlefield community throws their shit when they reuse something that they want. But when CoD does it and only it
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F0aSrRfXgAA_O2z?format=jpg&name=small

Yeah I don't have image perms so enjoy this link

[safe palm]

Let’s not act like people don’t do the exact same thing for cod lmao

[junior galleon]

because they called a chopped of portion of a map with a few extra elements NEW and made everyone wait 2 extra months

[safe palm]

You wouldn’t believe the amount of crying over “reused assets” in the zombies mode

[copper fulcrum]

CoD fans when they get Shipment for the 6th year in a row

[hybrid steppe]

Probably not even a controllable vehicle, since it's a drone. Mark my words, it will be a call in where you just open a map and mark spot for air strike.

[next onyx]

It's not needed.

[dusk falcon]

aair strikes were leaked a few months ago

[next onyx]

It really isn't needed.

[dusk falcon]

illya muromets

its coming back

illya muromets

its coming back

[hybrid steppe]

Is it just so hard to just add attack jets and give them them the stealth heli bombs and anti-vehicle rockets?

[pine roost]

Yeah if it is a drone, how’s that going to work? Why even bother making it a drone if it just functions the same

[copper fulcrum]

EMP Bombs and Radar Guided Missiles

Hmmmm

[warped pulsar]

The drone could be a call in, but I think it would be player controlled

[pine roost]

It doesn’t have radars

[dusk falcon]

dude what

its a flying stealth jet how do you hit that with an emp nade

[next onyx]

Yeah it won't have radar guideds apparently.

[copper fulcrum]

That's what it has equipped apparently

[pine roost]

No, it HAS emps

[dusk falcon]

ooooh ok

sorry

[copper fulcrum]

Also this is Battlefield. People will try to do that anyways

[pine roost]

Emp and a cluster from what we know so far

[next onyx]

Probably EMP bombs.

[copper fulcrum]

And they will succeed

[dusk falcon]

nobody is gonna use emp lmao

[pine roost]

So it doesn’t seem to be too anti vehicle, looks to mostly be anti inf

[warped pulsar]

They need to add AA to other maps, reclaimed was the only one to have it.

[next onyx]

I'm glad EMP mines aren't a thing in this game.

[dusk falcon]

also cluster

cluster

illya muromets

please dice

dontn do this

[pine roost]

Yeah I’m just hoping they can’t be used from miles up and still be effective

[copper fulcrum]

Not like EMPs do all that much right now

[hybrid steppe]

I don't think Ilya Murmoets is comparable in 2042 setting, there's way more Anti-Air options than in BF1.

[pine roost]

Cause it has no AA, no guns, just bombs. So while it’s definitely very weak to other air, more so than the muramets, you can’t see it

[warped pulsar]

EMPs are good for breakthrough when you trying to destroy aps and jammers

[next onyx]

I'll be honest. I think they're still super destructive.

To cuck a tank out of their speed.

That literally makes them easy pickings.

Nvm turret speed.

[pine roost]

So I assume the bombs will have some despawning distance with potentially greater concentration like they did with the fighter pellets in 1

[dusk falcon]

anywho i dont think its a remote controlled thing

its marketed as a vehicle in the trailer

[pine roost]

Yeah I’ve not seen any confirmation on it being a drone. Wouldn’t make sense to be

[hybrid steppe]

It's literally a drone though, there is no cockpit to put player in

[copper fulcrum]

Also not gonna lie. Having the Ares Shrike is something I wasn't really expecting

[dusk falcon]

thats one big ass drone then wtf

[lilac dust]

I hope they at least made 2 variants of the new map. A 128p and a 64p version. At least then the season could actually live up to the "Massive" word they used to describe it

[dusk falcon]

it wont, it looked too small for 128p

[hybrid steppe]

Just google Sukhoi S-70 and X-47B, these things are real

[royal swan]

Stadium will have breakthrough, I wonder how it's going to work

[dusk falcon]

woaaaa ok

damn

[low timber]

Maybe the stadium isn’t half buried to sand

[junior galleon]

squad breakthrough

[pine roost]

Cause if it is, you’ll what, click it to spawn it in from the pad, and fly it exactly like a jet. What then if you want to spawn in as it? Do you have to be infantry first? What if you die while using it? I’m going to assume it is until proved otherwise

[velvet sand]

Wait, is the Stadium map gonna be in S7 at launch? Reading that's coming in 7.2 as well?

[split ember]

It's not a drone. TheCadWoman confirmed it in her video. Her latest vid was made in tandem with the EA partnership program

[warped pulsar]

I'm sure season 8 will happen, the scary thing is, what if it's another 5 month wait? 😔

[hybrid steppe]

And how does TheCadWoman know THAT?

[dusk falcon]

i hope they dknt make illya muromets 2.0 please dice that thing ruined my summer of 2017

[split ember]

That vid is made with the EA Creators Network?

[dusk falcon]

shes in kahoots with ea

[pine roost]

Alright, thanks for the heads up. I couldn’t see how it makes sense to be part of the drone category

[lilac dust]

Not only is it not a new map, but they can't even get it in the game at the launch of the season. We waited 5 months just to wait another month lol

[velvet sand]

"Her latest vid was made in tandem with the EA partnershp program." seems to explain that very clearly.

[spare quest]

Probably because she's in the creator network

[still vault]

I can't beat that made up fake reality

[pine roost]

Although not being able to use it at launch is a real kick in the head

[naive quiver]

https://youtu.be/HELYylln9hE?si=ShVp5lqYg60zS-_D

[pine roost]

Top notch thumbnail

[patent pivot]

This is the official trademark thumbnail style

[patent pivot]

Bold texts with first person voew,= a shit storm

[hybrid steppe]

Well, color me surprised, so it will be pilot controllable and not a drone. Where does the pilot go though?

[lilac dust]

Oh and where does it say that it's coming in 7.2. I've been looking everywhere can't find that information

[velvet sand]

Seen a few folks chatting about it, trying to find hard confirmation but it might be in one of the content creator videos I don't have any interest in listening to.

[split ember]

It's coming in 7.2. According to the latest TheCadWoman vid

[pine roost]

Somewhere inside. Probably uses some kind of internal camera if you’re considering how it all works

[split ember]

Like some of the Batplanes lol

[velvet sand]

Ah, so confirmed by EA partner. Damn, they really did delay this seaons and then still had to cut the content in half rofl.

[lilac dust]

I mean I guess it's a given that it's not coming at launch regardless of what content creators said because they haven't shown hourglass on any marketing posts apart from the trailer

[pine roost]

It does just kind of feel like when they add a new tdm map variant

[split ember]

Well they have to spread it out you know. lol

[hybrid steppe]

I guess the other option is that you just call it with the laptop thingy and you'll just stand around somewhere safe while your gameplay is changed to the jet until you get destroyed.

[white dagger]

Glad we finally get the Stadium back, I liked that place. And the Trailer is absolutely godly, as per usual. The trailer team should get the biggest raise in the whole company

[velvet sand]

Can't let folks have too much fun at once! Why actually deliver on the expectations DICE set pre-launch when they could set them, underdeliver, and then complain that players are unreasonable?!?!?

[pine roost]

Possibly

I’m just keen to see how it works

[ebon pilot]

An air vehicle you can call in would be awesome

[pine roost]

Although if it’s coming later, would that mean the previews won’t show it

[hybrid steppe]

Because as an aviation nerd, just feels so weird to stick a pilot INSIDE a drone that has no visual signs of getting in or having a cockpit lmao

[spare quest]

Pondhawk

[ebon pilot]

but that can't attack

[white dagger]

Bold of you to even call that thing a whole “vehicle”

[pine roost]

If you believe hard enough it can

[royal swan]

There is stationary AA on haven apparently

[next onyx]

You can get a gunner on it.

[white dagger]

Oh god please no

[ebon pilot]

YES

[pine roost]

Mark my words, this is the season where flight assist is fixed. I will finally be free from my ramblings and live a happy life

[white dagger]

As someone who gets done by AA, rather than getting people with AA, I don’t like that

[hybrid steppe]

skill issue :p

[white dagger]

What is even wrong with the flight assist? Why is it your whole Discord name?

[pine roost]

The disable setting hasn’t worked properly for 3 years

[lilac dust]

I really wish they gave us the smaw instead of the sraw. I know that would be 3 non-guided rockets but the smaw was just so satisfying to use in BF4

[white dagger]

I know. But well, who would’ve guessed that AA does cause issues for aerial vehicles, right? xDD

[pine roost]

So I’ve made it my whole personality

[white dagger]

What disable setting?

[pine roost]

Well you can’t turn it off

That’s the gist

[white dagger]

No wait, what even is the Heli flight assist? Is it that thing that stabilizes the Heli automatically at the press of a button?

[pine roost]

Yup

[next onyx]

No it stabilises itself without any input.

[pine roost]

Keeps you flying straight, rolls you every which way

[pine roost]

Even with input

[white dagger]

I don’t understand😂

[next onyx]

Well alright I meant.

What happens during flight is that it'll automatically readjust your helicopter.

[pine roost]

Ah yeah I see what you mean, not exclusively

[next onyx]

No matter what you do.

[pine roost]

Imagine playing on controller and having constant, harsh stick drift

[white dagger]

I do recall there a setting related to flying assistance, it’s just… I have zero clue what it does because I never actually cared or paid attention to it

[white dagger]

So, what you mean is, I roll the Heli to the left and it will stay rolled at the angle until I manually roll it back?

[pine roost]

Most people are in the same boat. Hence why it’s such a low priority

But what hurts more is how the Apache was fixed but all the others remain borked

[pine roost]

The opposite. If you roll left, it’ll do everything in its power to keep you upright

[whole escarp]

I just watched the new trailer, who is hyped for it to come out?

[pine roost]

Even when disabled

Which obviously, it shouldn’t do

[white dagger]

Damn, what’s wrong with the other Helis? And what did they fix in the Apache?

[pine roost]

Because it’s off

[royal swan]

Me.

[white dagger]

That’s not like that in my case if I remember correctly

I can willingly roll the heli completely upside down, don’t touch anything and just fall until I wanna stop doing so

[pine roost]

It seems so integrally linked with the physics that when they reworked the Apache and hokum’s flight physics they managed to decouple it, so turning it off completely removed the effects of the setting as it should

[pine roost]

I urge you to try it again

[whole escarp]

It’s kinda strange how the Devs split Hourglass into two maps

[pine roost]

Cause it worked fine before season 1, that may be what you remember

[white dagger]

I would like to do so, but I can’t, I’m on holiday and my console is a couple of thousand kilometers away lol

[hybrid steppe]

People were sad because they got rid of the stadium in the rework, arguably the best part for infantry on that map.

[royal swan]

Well mostly it was from the community opinion that they missed the stadium when they removed it in the hourglass rework

So they reworked the stadium as it's own map

[remote kiln]

guys I'm famous now

[royal swan]

So we get the best experience of hourglass as it's own map and upgraded

[white dagger]

With every sentence you write, I get more confused, the hell😂

[whole escarp]

Ah right, I only started playing S3 so I wouldn’t have that much experience but I would get my first experience on the stadium.

[pine roost]

The hampter speaks in cryptic ways

I’ll send a video later to explain it

[lilac dust]

The stadium was built for current gen hardware. It wouldn't work on last gen hardware so they couldn't bring it back in the rework, but I guess they finally found a way to get it out to everyone in the form of it's own map

[hybrid steppe]

"EMP bombs" and thus we never see them in use because "lol, lmao even" who'd pick a "support" weapon over an offensive weapon?

[white dagger]

Please do so, feel free to do so via DM, no need to confuse all the other people in here as well😂

[royal swan]

It's going to be another meat grinder map which I'm fine with

[remote kiln]

you must have missed the massive emp lol

[whole escarp]

Well I’m looking forward to it for the first time.

[velvet sand]

This sounds....so stupid that it has to be wrong....right? Granted I don't think the Stadium existed in the 64p CQ layout but like...surely DICE couldn't be this stupid and waste this many resources on a big chunk of a map that wouldn't even be playable on last gen...right?

[white dagger]

What about the 40 “Equipment Destroyed” with each giving like 25xp or how much it was :DD

[hybrid steppe]

My point stands, who'd pick an option that only disables over an option that kills?

[remote kiln]

they have bombs aswell tf are you talking about

[velvet sand]

Actually wait, wasting tons of resources on a stadium part of a map that two of the five platforms you ship your game on can't play is incredibly on-brand for DICE and fits perfectly with every other decision they made leading up to launch.

[lilac dust]

If you compare the 64p layout of all the launch maps you'll notice that major areas are cut off. This was an easy way to accomdoate last gen players.

[white dagger]

Jesus Christ I cannot believe my eyes. A person who wants Breakthrough 128 back? Legendary stuff my man, I wished for that since the very day it got removed

[hybrid steppe]

Yes I know but if the EMP bombs are a weapon option and the other options are offensive weapons, it is more likely that people will pick the option that will get you kills rather than the option that only disables vehicles and equipment.

[velvet sand]

I mostly only played BT so I didn't even know the Stadium existed until months after launch and was pissed it was unused in that mode.

[lilac dust]

I'll do you one better. 128 conquest

[merry heart]

So are we Battlefield peach flavor now?

[remote kiln]

the idea is you're supposed to use them together with another jet, not one or the other lol

[pine roost]

It’s emp AND cluster, not one or the other
From what we know

[white dagger]

Conquest 128 IS Battlefield 2042, Conquest 64 is just straight up useless imo. Conquest 128 all the way man

[lilac dust]

The stadium was by far my favourite part of hourglass so I'm stoked. It didn't arrive in a very fun way being labelled as a new map, but I'm just glad it's back

[hybrid steppe]

Well I sure hope so because, if it's the case that it's one or the other, you'll never see those EMP bombs in action.

[lilac dust]

Now you're talking 💪

[white dagger]

Same. But explain your name to me, what’s misleading?

[patent prism]

I am very mildly annoyed that they put the Russian GP as the grenade launcher for the Ak 5C rifle as opposed to something more NATO-ish given that there are special handguards (plural) for the Ak 5C to mount the M203 grenade launcher, including one sporting a red dot quadrant sight rather than the typical ladder.

[royal swan]

They called the stadium map a new map

That's the misleading part

[arctic grove]

When will the new season 7 launch??

[placid echo]

19th

[royal swan]

19th

[quaint vector]

March 19

[patent prism]

Mar 19

[arctic grove]

oh ok

[lilac dust]

The teaser trailer exclusively showed bullet casings going through water and a bit of sand. What we ended up getting was a small kiddy pool on the edge of the new map. Very disappointed. A teaser trailer should tease us, not fool us.

[copper fulcrum]

March 19th

[remote kiln]

DICE includes date in trailer
people ask anyways

[velvet sand]

I'm just glad there's no good Falck skin locked behind Ultimate anymore.

[lilac dust]

To clarify. I was hoping for naval combat, but at the very least I had hoped they were foreshadowing something more than a kiddy pool that nobody is going to even fight near lol @white dagger

[copper fulcrum]

Ayo. Crawford skin with a helmet AND his aviators? That's kinda hot

[hybrid steppe]

I can semi get the drone and the stadium being released later in case they need more balancing, but why does the new lmg need to be released in 7.2?

[white dagger]

I see I see. Well, I don’t know what to think about the new map just yet. I like the setting in Chile in general but I’ll just wait for the update and hope it turns out to be fun nonetheless

[copper fulcrum]

If it's being released later, I imagine it won't be a part of the 'Battle-Pass' and instead have challenges?

Unless it's still in the Battle-Pass then maybe you will actually get it when it 'releases'

[next onyx]

I have a hunch it's connected to a mid season event to be honest.

[lilac dust]

Mid season event is naval combat confirmed

The teaser trailer will finally live up to it's tease

[patent prism]

Oh okay, you're Way, was wondering if you were some new moderator individual.

[velvet sand]

It'll be a long channel that we need to cross but it'll be like those daytime TV shows where the bridge across is all slippery, floating plastic and if we fall off we have to swim back to the shore with no access to weapons while enemies can shoot us. Wipeout, or whatever that was.

[spare quest]

ofc he's new, look at that orange name

[plush echo]

Anyone know when the next redux is ?

[patent prism]

Right, Mr. Nitpick, let me edit my message just to please you.

[spare quest]

[lilac dust]

Total Wipeout : Battlefield Edition

[patent prism]

Also curious how they'll implement the Aimpoint CS for the Ak 5C.

If it'll be a separate optic or a different model for an existing one.

[spare pasture]

[chilly jacinth]

wouldnt that effectivly be the same

[spare pasture]

Ak5c

[slate jolt]

March 19

[spare pasture]

[patent prism]

Yeah but I mean; is it going to replace an existing optic or a separate selectable optic.

I am too fucking tired to find the correct words for this.

[chilly jacinth]

they will probably do it like all other optics theyve added

[merry heart]

[slate jolt]

Poor Boris

[merry heart]

Borith

[patent prism]

Yeah, fair. Was just wondering given how some skins change some scope models to a new one.

[torpid wadi]

Mmmm ak5c

[digital geode]

Yo guys i'm sorry if this is a wrong channel but if anyone got nordvik "dead-center" skin for ak24 please send me PM i need a favour if you have a minute or two

[elder patrol]

Spaghetti

[twin finch]

As always the trailer animators did beautiful work

[near silo]

Did I see a scorpion smg 🙂 and a stealth bomber and a FAL 🙂 yall too much

Thank you

[chilly jacinth]

not a fal

[tropic girder]

I thought S6 was great, but this looks even better

[near silo]

I mean it looked like it

Yah this is goin g to be great

[chilly jacinth]

its an ak5c

[torpid wadi]

I would have been a very happy man if they added a fal

[placid echo]

I love it

[naive quiver]

Cash it

[placid echo]

It's a free skin

[velvet sand]

Specialist skins are solid, but man the weapon skins have gotten bonkier and more hilarious.

[placid echo]

The weapon skins are definitely themed after Chile

[velvet sand]

Specialists went milsim/cool, weapons almost went Super Soaker

[near silo]

Agree, definitely coming out of the shell with the skins.. good job

[placid echo]

Also this is Mil-Sim to you?

[naive quiver]

Ultimate pack how much

[placid echo]

Probably $15 or $20USD?

[naive quiver]

Are you sure

[placid echo]

That Angel Skin on the left looks solid though

[velvet sand]

milsim/cool

[naive quiver]

Only £10 in my account now

[placid echo]

Yes that is Angel. I can tell by the stuff hanging off of his back

[naive quiver]

[near silo]

Take my money

[night vessel]

I wounder how the Stealth Drone Bomber gonna work

[placid echo]

Not a fan of the PKP... however...

I'm a sucker for that type of camo

[night vessel]

the gun used to be OP

also I'm suprised 2042 is still alive everyone is at Helldivers 2

[frail sparrow]

Are ye fecking kidding me, did they seriously act like a cut portion of a map is a new map? Xd

[night vessel]

ikr

[hazy frost]

DUDE

THE NEW BATTLEFIELD SEASON LOOKS SICK!!!

[night vessel]

only thing that looks alright is the stealth bomber I guess

[naive quiver]

That’s a bad thing or good thing

[frail sparrow]

I can't wait for them to remove weaponry and operators, so they can act like they're new content in next battlepass when reintroduce reworked versions of them

[hazy frost]

Actually good!

[velvet sand]

It does have a fair bit of work put into it by the looks of it. But them calling it "new" and the fact that it's shipping 1-2 months post-launch is hilarious.

[hazy frost]

I havn't played it yet

but when im on break i'm so getting on loL!

[naive quiver]

Have your payment for next Tuesday

[hazy frost]

Wait wha-

[snow cliff]

god damn new plane

[next onyx]

Hey. It's nice to someone's excited at least.

[velvet sand]

use boins earned from previous season, don't pay. I still can't believe that's a thing

[hazy frost]

Wdym-

[next onyx]

Ignore it.

[hazy frost]

Is it not gonna be on gamepass 😭

[next onyx]

The skorpion evo is interesting at least.

[pine roost]

Hey I’m excited for it

[next onyx]

Sorry bullet.

[frail sparrow]

Sure it's reworked, but no fecking hell i'd reintroduce it as new. At that point adding portal guns would be considered new... Oh wait

[next onyx]

I've seen the discontent and I'm just kinda

Augh

[pine roost]

[snow cliff]

how much is the battle pass again ?

[next onyx]

Stop dancing you little bastard.

10 dollars.

[pine roost]

Then again I also didn’t make any assumptions beforehand

[frail sparrow]

Scorpion def looks cute

[next onyx]

I'm disappointed in a lot.

But it's kinda.

Whatever.

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/kid-kid-evil-spiderman-dance-evil-spiderman-dance-kid-dance-dance-gif-121602435014134027

[velvet sand]

$10, but you earn enough boins with the premium pass to buy the next one so techincally you only need to buy once.

[frail sparrow]

The new map i confused for the bad company 2 map in ze beginning of ze trailer tbh. It wasn't until i saw the flags that i realized it is a new map

[snow cliff]

i have 1300 BFC

is that enough

to get the next pass ?

[frail sparrow]

Yes

[snow cliff]

pog crazy

nice

[frail sparrow]

1000 = 10 bucks pretty much

Enjoy ze bp farming sooon

[naive quiver]

[torpid wadi]

Reckon I’ll actually have to try and finish this bp

[pine roost]

Is 5,000 enough

[naive quiver]

Enough

[pine roost]

Can’t hit my keys properly

[silver meteor]

I mean... It kinda is? Depending how much they added to it.

I work in game Dev and I'm all for a mass reuse in assets if it provides a new experience.

[naive quiver]

2500 for premium I guess

[velvet sand]

Normal Premium is 1K boins/$10, the super premium is cash only.

[frail sparrow]

You'd love working on 2042 then it seems xd

[torpid wadi]

I thought that was funny too

[naive quiver]

Ultimate pack is cash only

[frail sparrow]

Rework field 2042 its live service has been.

[full burrow]

when does the new season/patch go live?

[naive quiver]

19th March

[full burrow]

ty

[drowsy shuttle]

welp, same shit different smell.

but its still the best point and click game in the market.

[naive quiver]

DICE knew that what you guys will pay for it

[pine roost]

Well I ain’t paying for nothing

[chilly jacinth]

i only bought the game

theres nothing else to spend money on

[drowsy shuttle]

the chile map looks cool tho

[junior galleon]

isnt it just big arica harbor

[pine roost]

I heard some strings in it’s theme which I hope are part of its main track

[drowsy shuttle]

i guess the only real new big thing is the stealth bomber

besides the map ofc

[pine roost]

Well a map is a pretty new thing

Yeah

[frail sparrow]

Cosmetics in bf2042 feels less appealing due specialist restrictions. I loved the way they worked in bfv (apart from the elites)

Plus thr best ones are in the bp anyway xd

[drowsy shuttle]

i haven't seen a single cool skin in the trailer.. for my taste at least

in season 6 i liked the casper one

[frail sparrow]

Yeah it's abit less interesting. Though i like the lean on aztec material stuff

[chilly jacinth]

i havent liked any skins theyve released

[frail sparrow]

But i usually go for the more tactical stealth skins

[naive quiver]

you like call of duty skins ?

[chilly jacinth]

ew

[naive quiver]

Cat head ?

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah in general the skins are kinda meh.. with exception of a few ones..

[chilly jacinth]

its even worse

cod is bottom of the barrel when it comes to skins

[drowsy shuttle]

and i think its kinda lazy having similar legendary skins for different specialists.. i think every legendary skin should be unique

you can "recycle" the premium skins for different specialists.. but legendary ones should be unique

imo

[pine roost]

Was gonna say after watching the trailer again it feels like I’ve seen most of these skins before

[patent pivot]

So no skins that looks like past class skins

[torpid wadi]

I want some drippy falck skins

[pine roost]

You’ve already had a fair few that are directly inspired by class skins

[naive quiver]

Class skins

[pine roost]

Not on all characters granted, but they are there

[patent pivot]

What about china support

[naive quiver]

What was that

[pine roost]

Nah they’ll be avoiding china stuff in the games for a while I reckon

[drowsy shuttle]

its cool having the stadium as a map.. but that should've been the bonus... should've been 2 maps plus the stadium as a surprise...

[patent pivot]

Aftermath skins?

[pine roost]

Well let’s just hope this new one plays well

[torpid wadi]

I quite disappointing to see it being the second the map

Well it still looks like fun though so I won’t bitch

Much

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah... like i said its cool they brought it back but should've been the bonus/suprise

2+1

not 1+1

[velvet sand]

Surprise and overdeliver? Not on DICE's watch.

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah, i guess

[plush echo]

We need redux

[naive quiver]

redacted removed ?

[drowsy shuttle]

one can only hope lol

[pine roost]

No I like redacted :(

[naive quiver]

If they does

[drowsy shuttle]

btw didn't the teasers had water?

[royal swan]

Redacted is fun

[velvet sand]

Yes. That appears to have ammounted to nothing.

Just a bit of a kiddy pool in one of the maps or something.

[plush echo]

When is redux coming

[naive quiver]

Why they don’t make another similar map like redacted

I’m sure we more happy

[velvet sand]

that's stadium dude

[patent pivot]

Make walls destructible

[naive quiver]

Well then dice is too busy on vacation

[royal swan]

I'm sure the stadium may be familiar

[drowsy shuttle]

the worst thing you can say about the trailer is, if didn't said season 7 in the title... it could've been the trailer of season 6.. or 5...

but oh well

[naive quiver]

I agreed

Recycling

[pine roost]

I don’t quite follow

[naive quiver]

♻️

[royal swan]

Also new smg is a carbine

[drowsy shuttle]

similarities.. deep down theres nothing really "new"... theres not a banger.. a game changing..

i guess the stealth bomber

but still

[royal swan]

I don't really expect anything game changing

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah.. i guess.. especially since they are not making new specialists...

[pine roost]

Well yeah I guess this trailer was fairly similar to the others. The tgm part, boris javelin bit, rpg on reclaimed all share similar cinematography to the sraw scene

[royal swan]

I'm still going to have fun with this season

[pine roost]

But trailers like the one for dark protocol hit hard

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah im still going to play it.. but its just same shit different smell..

i guess the "turning point" is not really that turning lol

[ebon pilot]

the season gameplay trailers have a very specific format

especially since they combined the gameplay and battle pass trailers

[royal swan]

I'm starting to think y'all don't know that it's more connected to the lore and not actually gameplay

Turning point in the story

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah i was thinking about that, but since i don't really care about the lore

btw the background score is really cool in the trailer
