battlefield-2042

[torpid wadi]

Rabl cmg-2? What?

[thick robin]

Like the Mark 2 of the RAAL MG

It’s the 2042-ized designation

[torpid wadi]

I see

Why not base it off the real name?

[tawny carbon]

copyright reasons

[torpid wadi]

Ehh true true

[thick robin]

What weapons would you like to see in the COD weapon vault

[torpid wadi]

Why are we discussing the cod weapon vault in here now?

[thick robin]

Had an idea in my head for it

[haughty lichen]

Hear me out

What if..

[thick robin]

Listening

[haughty lichen]

Breakthrough bot mode had options to be on the defending or attacking side

[thick robin]

Yes

[haughty lichen]

Does that sound like a good idea?

[thick robin]

Very

[haughty lichen]

Thx

[thick robin]

Also, I’m putting together a Call of Duty Weapon Vault. What guns would you like to see in it?

[haughty lichen]

I dont play COD

[thick robin]

Understandable

[thick robin]

So far, my SMG list has the MicroMG 9mm, the HRM-9 and the DIY-11 Renovator, to name a few.

[arctic grove]

how much are battlepasses?

[wide shore]

Like $10-ish

$20 if you want the one with the bonus skins and tier skips

[gilded goblet]

20$!

Where u liveing

oh hol up

NA

ok yeah that's bout right

[uneven lodge]

what games do you gain weapon mastery on

do full xp all players portal get weapon mastery

a little tired of grinding redacted for attachments

[ivory canopy]

CQ 64/128, BT, TDM

Those aren't the only ones

[sour meadow]

i gotta say

regardless of the content

i'm amazed 2042 made it to a Season 7

like after the launch, i was certain we were only going to get the confirmed 4 seasons and that'd be it

then I saw 5 and I was like "oh that's awesome but they're probably done now"

then season 6

and now we on 7

[royal swan]

Im guessing season 8 is next and last season

[sour meadow]

it'd be a nice number to end it off on

maybe 9

[royal swan]

in fairly confident due to the dates on the amazon gaming rewards and the fact that 8 will rap up the year 2 content

like how season 4 rapped up year 1

[sour meadow]

idk why but it feels like 2042 just came out

in a time-sense

it came out in 2021. it's 2024 now

and it's still getting content

like goddamn

[royal swan]

lack luster content but still content

just hope they put more effort in the next game where this sn't a problem

[gilded goblet]

Next game? aaahhh yeah well idk bout that. The next game better be good or esle i'm going back to COD

[royal swan]

I'm going back to neither, both have been pathetic at making a good fucking games. I may just go full indie.

[gilded goblet]

Lol true

No as in i'm going back to older cods

Not crapy MW2/3

and not vanguard

ew

[royal swan]

if the next bf launches like 2042 or is somehow worse than 2042. I'm done

Absolutely no excuses

[gilded goblet]

True

dice has seen how bad they did it

so if they don't learn well........

[tawny carbon]

BF4 have the worst launch xD

[royal swan]

but ended with alot of content, I will remeber this once 2042 ends development, I will compare this game to the older games and see who put more effort

who has the most content

[tawny carbon]

True. BF4 did end out as the Most Advanced game and a masterpiece

BF4 still have the most content compared to any battlefield in the franchise still.

[arctic grove]

Ok so someone gave me a Password thing for a shooting range mode, but How exactly do I find it on Portal I'm on Xbox and.thenzwarch option is either server name or Experience.

What I got was ABGRNR as a password

[tawny carbon]

I honestly hope they make a BF4 alike game but, I won’t see it happening for a long time. Especially since game development is way longer now.

[tawny carbon]

Do you see the server on portal?

[arctic grove]

No

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔

Just tryna find the code for it?

[arctic grove]

Well I want to find the server for it, under search it only gives me.two mai options

Just not sure if I'm searching correctly though.

They really should have just added a Range like BF4 had

[tawny carbon]

Should be a way to enter a code

To host it

[arctic grove]

Oh I have to host it

[tawny carbon]

Yea

It’s a solo server thing.

For the range

[arctic grove]

Found it but now I can't launch it

[tawny carbon]

Wym?

[arctic grove]

It says an error occured when I go to launch it

[tawny carbon]

Imma see if the server loads up on my PC

[arctic grove]

It's saying an Undefined Error occured

[tawny carbon]

Yea I got the same error

Go to browser and at the Bolton it will say “search”

For the name type “range” and it should pop up

And host one of them or a join an empty one.

[arctic grove]

It says something about using C4 to. Ring up me u but I'm on Xbox not keyboard

[tawny carbon]

Idk, never played them.

On 2042.

[arctic grove]

So it really just seems like it spawns Enemy AI but they rush towards you so It's hard to get a zero on where I should be aiming at ranges like 700+

Ok did they remove a lot of ays t get to high grounds I'm on the stranded map and can't figure out how tonget to the top of the large cargo ship

[worldly wolf]

dice should bring back the eotech for the m416 in ao2

*aow

because it feels so good when used on the 416

[frozen loom]

DICE should make that robot gadget more useful. I see no one using it.

[arctic grove]

Playing team death match and the game just spawns us I the same spot so we are getting spawned camped in an open field

[arctic grove]

Chaotic TDM is where it's at

[slate jolt]

In which weapon?

[royal swan]

I think the sight is getting on majority of the weapons, especially on the new ones

[slate jolt]

They had put a smart viewfinder on another but then they took it off.

I don't know why

[naive quiver]

When EA takes your money, the purpose has been achieved

[ashen siren]

Same here tbh...it pains me to say that! I'm not going to wait and see what the reviews are like post-launch and determinr from there.

[ashen siren]

Not if we wait for reviews before parting with said money...big brain time! 🙂

[quaint vector]

Season 7 where...

DICE pls, accidentaly press the release button...

[upbeat sand]

do you think S7 will actually have Nopats vs enemy forces

instead of US vs Russia

i mean a big thing in the nopat story between S4 and S5 is that the US and other forces sent a very large assault against namaqualand or something like that

[slate jolt]

This 19

[quaint vector]

When is 19.?

[slate jolt]

19 March

[quaint vector]

And why not 20 March..

[slate jolt]

They did it on purpose which is the Day they presented season 7.
That was March 12 on a Tuesday.
And the 19th is always a Tuesday

[naive quiver]

Why not 31 March

[quaint vector]

Why not 32 tho

@quaint vector you know the thingyo on all the battlefield titles and it's organge red lines glitch thing

wat is that tho

do u know?

trying to recreate it in a banner

[quaint vector]

You mean the "glare" effect.?

[gilded goblet]

yeah is there a way i can get that desgin?

like it's fire and i want it for a banner i'm makeing

[quaint vector]

I have some on my PC (will be home on PC in like 1 hour) so if you'll wait, I can send you some..👀

[gilded goblet]

Yo sick tho thx! yeah DM them to me i'll be in bed by then

[quaint vector]

Okiee Dokiee.

[lone void]

New mod colour hype

[pine roost]

is someone able to check abgrnr for me? it's the training range, but I'm getting the same error as noname's, doesn't seem to have updated

[chilly jacinth]

ill boot up the game and try

[pine roost]

worked 2 days ago but now it's stopped

[chilly jacinth]

yep its borked

[chilly jacinth]

i just sat in a nightbird all game spotting

didnt even die

[quaint vector]

Easy Tier 1 for ya then...

[sharp carbon]

Im a kind player, i spent an entire match in a helicopter with Lis, repairing, and when full hp using my controllable rocket to shoot people and vehicles

Also had an lmg incase the copter was still full hp and i ran out of rockets

With AP rounds its quite funny

[spare quest]

I love doing that but it's not easy with random players

so much effort

[karmic egret]

Your litteraly the person to complain about it being removed

[next onyx]

It would be nice if they removed hourglass and replaced it with stadium.

[karmic egret]

Hourglass is hit or miss

[next onyx]

Hourglass is always a miss.

I will admit it's much better now.

But it's just not it.

[chilly jacinth]

new hourglass is just spawntrap sim

[low timber]

In BFBC1 there are two Rush maps Valley Run and Deconstruction where the last set of M-COMs on Valley run is the attackers first spawn in Deconstruction.

[karmic egret]

On conquest is mid breakthrough however its pretty decent

[quaint vector]

Stadium will be more popular than Hourglass.. Remember my words..

[karmic egret]

Operations making a return???

[next onyx]

Even if stadium is "average" it'll still be miles ahead of hourglass.

[spare quest]

so much fun when your team gets basetrapped by an enemy heli who can easily hide behind the nearby buildings

[low timber]

In the trailer it seemed that the elevators have been opened for zip lines.

[next onyx]

Truth be told I wouldn't mind it if there were two variants of stadium. 64p focusing on the stadium but 128p being a little out there.

That can be your hourglass.

But I don't really care.

[low timber]

Btw, why does every elevator in the game with a zipline not have the elevator box/room/carriage?

[next onyx]

Who knows.

[uneven lodge]

will redacted cq be available as a permanent mode in s7 or not any more

[next onyx]

It'll be retired.

Pave way for the new map.

I hope they'll keep the new map until stadium and then alternate.

[naive quiver]

players -100,000 redacted removed

[next onyx]

They just need to keep the game fresh by extending FNB to the whole week.

The gamemodes there are really interesting.

[spare quest]

SNB also has fun modes, last week was amazing

[next onyx]

Even if they're constantly chaos'd. Their rotations just provide something else completely.

Dude there was a conquest and bt playlist a few months ago.

[low timber]

Of course people can easily make redacted 24/7 in portal, but people are too lazy to use the server browser

[uneven lodge]

aw man cant have meat grinder no more

[next onyx]

My squad as a whole. We all collectively hit 500 kills on bt defence.

[karmic egret]

Cool

[next onyx]

I need to find it.

[uneven lodge]

gotta play real maps where gettting sniped from narnia and shat on by tanks is normal again

[karmic egret]

You rn

[next onyx]

Oh my oh my I can't find it. I don't really care.

Behold this monstrosity.

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/arson-grogu-burning-fire-grogu-arson-gif-27541252

[chilly jacinth]

ffs theres a cheating bastard

in my game

[naive quiver]

How lucky

[chilly jacinth]

region and play time matters

[solid imp]

ew

[mental delta]

Not that hard, Hourglass is currently kind of crap tbh

[bitter mulch]

tbh its still better that we get stadium as a map than nothing

[solid imp]

for me it's best case scenario honestly 🙂
been asking from day 1 to get stadium as a standalone

although I was asking for a 16v16 CQ Small variant but... I'll take it anyway

[bitter mulch]

i didnt, but still im happy that it comes

it is kinda silly how other BF games gave soo much more different modes and maps and playstyles

[solid imp]

stadium's issue was always that random helicopters would start dropping off roof campers or that a tank would lay siege to the main doors

but even if that still happens at least it will be focused and higher chances someone will try to actually do something about it

it's a fantastic vertical CQC area, which is unlike anywhere else in the entire game

[bitter mulch]

true

[mental delta]

I agree, everyone was asking for it back, but I recall people asking for it to be part of new Hourglass as well

Hourglass feels bland and boring on half the map

[arctic grove]

guys need help

[solid imp]

I seem to recall it was the asset count limit

[arctic grove]

after the update on pc

when i click play

game dosent open

EA pops up says preparing game....

after that it dosent open

[solid imp]

repair?

[spare quest]

Clear EA cache?

[mental delta]

Ha like they couldn't add it anymore because too many assets were already there ?

[solid imp]

they did add a lot of assets to build up the various barriers though

I think Hourglass got reworked with BT in mind instead of CQ

[chilly jacinth]

old gen holding the game back

[solid imp]

The BT flow has a lot more "stuff" added to clarify the infantry paths and give cover

On CQ you hardly notice the things that were added really.. it's easy to just fly over the crater or ignore the southwest corner

on BT you have to grind through those areas

[spare quest]

CQ is still like 60% flat empty desert

[solid imp]

it's true

I was honestly hoping they would add fewer things and give it the 'ol Breakaway treatment. Move the whole stadium into the city 🙂

I can't even picture going back to original CQ Breakaway

[uneven lodge]

how do i get vehicle assist with m44 revo

[ivory canopy]

M44 can damage vehicles with AP ammo iirc

[arctic grove]

i play on steam

[spare quest]

You could just put c5 on a vehicle and shoot it

[ivory canopy]

True

[spare quest]

Well you still need the EA app to play the game

[arctic grove]

yea id k how to clear cache of EA on pc

[spare quest]

It‘s called recovery iirc

Somewhere in the settings

[mental delta]

Only good part of orginal Hourglass though were villages and stadium

[bitter mulch]

That new Haven map could become the best in the game. It has destruction, it has more identity to it, close quarters

[spare pasture]

And it has Arica harbor genes

[uneven lodge]

maps like discarded, orbital and kaleidoscope make me hate playing this game

its just losers sniping all the damn time

[ivory canopy]

My T1 of the M416 and Sundance will likely be close together.

[spare pasture]

I like orbital

[worldly wolf]

same orbital is fun with an ar

[ivory canopy]

I've been running the scatter nades on Redacted hardcore

It's insane what pandemonium you can cause with one scatter thrown into a group. Get some nasty multikills.

[worldly wolf]

literally yesterday I accidentally equipped the anti vehicle mines and then just drop all of them on the most random sot that I have never seen driving over it

1mins later boom

a jeep got destroyed

[ivory canopy]

As I may have said before, I was mastery 0 with Sundance about a week or two ago

They're 32/40 now

Wonder how quick I can T1 Crawford...

[low timber]

Equip the mini grenades and then you’ll be scattering more explosives

[ivory canopy]

Hah

Haven't tried mini nades

[low timber]

They are great

Under used

[solid imp]

very quickly.. it counts assists now as well.. didn't used to I think 🙂

[ivory canopy]

Yeah. Sundance's nades count kills and assists. So I've made quick progress with them.

[low timber]

I think it did, but the assist time was short before

[solid imp]

I need to work on my rao mastery.. I only have it at 608

[ivory canopy]

Rao was so quick for me to T1

[solid imp]

amazingly fast

[low timber]

Was my first T1

Grinded it on the Kaleidoscope Breakthrough pre rework

[ivory canopy]

I have most of the specialists at T1. All except Irish, Sundance, and the engis.

Even then I am very close to T1 for Irish

[low timber]

As everyone were huddled together on that A1 skyscraper

Kinda miss that objective

[solid imp]

This was great for Paik as well

And Orbital building BT A

2 proxies over the edge on defense

[ivory canopy]

I got Blasco T1 before they made it so map disruptions count.

[low timber]

I have all the specialists at T1 and every 2042 primary and sidearm

[ivory canopy]

Used to just be spot blocks, which I farmed on Discarded rework

I'm going for every specialist T1. Will be easier for me to play all maps with an engi.

[solid imp]

I will say I was pretty upset when they went back and made the specialists easier to T1

[low timber]

Haven’t played for a long time now but last time I was concentrating on grenades, only ones left are

• EMP
• Concussion
• knives
• AT grenade (which I won’t even try)

[solid imp]

I did them all on hard mode and then they made it so assists start counting for things 😦

[frosty mural]

so whens the new season coming

[solid imp]

like Lis is a perfect example

And Dozer

[low timber]

Next Tuesday

[solid imp]

not like Dozer was hard anyway but... now it's even easier

[low timber]

I did Dozer T1 when they had the zombies featured portal mode

[ivory canopy]

I did the assault specialists as Mackay, Dozer, Zain, then closing in on Sundance.

[spare quest]

I actually enjoyed the Lis grind But it took me a long time

[low timber]

During S2 some squad mate got really salty that I had the Dozer T1 badge equipped

[ivory canopy]

Ok I disappear now

[broken nebula]

[torpid wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/electro-kingdom-black-magic-gif-19337815

[spare quest]

[low timber]

Can’t wait for the AK5C, the leaked attachment for it sound exiting
like the ||heavy barrel, is it just long barrel with new name or the BF3 heavy barrel||
And ||two different underbarrel shotguns||

[broken nebula]

Is there anyone who can play BFLAG with me?

[arctic grove]

Is there skins in the battlepass? I mean I assume so but I’m not sure

[torpid wadi]

There are skins yes

[spare quest]

Not a single skin this season

But 80 weapon charms

[torpid wadi]

Dice has fallen

Millions must cry

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/money-donald-duck-cash-counting-we-got-our-money-gif-16918046

[kind frigate]

Alguém para jogar Brasil

[lone void]

No

[pearl ridge]

The AK5 is continuing the Battlefield tradition of having random Swedish weapons that don’t actually add anything of note

We really should have more than three guns to a season

[amber kelp]

AK5c in 4 was the highest bullet velocity for a carbine, that was its main schtick. No idea if that will carry over

[lone void]

It has a unique optic

[lone void]

There is no Carbine category in this game so inherently no

[tawny carbon]

Carbine is essentially ARs

[lone void]

Carbine is like, AR's adorable little brother who just wants to play

[tawny carbon]

Basically

Mini ARs but not compact like SMGs

[arctic grove]

Awesome!

[untold flower]

@robust vapor bruh ive had consistently shit teams for the past few days

wtf is this bs

[tidal trail]

Game connects you to people with similar skills as yourself 😉

[tawny carbon]

Battlefield have no SBMM or team balancing in their official servers

[untold flower]

right thats why i have much more kills compared to the rest of my team

and yeah the game doesnt have sbmm quit trippin

goofball

[tidal trail]

Yeah tbh, I was gaslighting you

[tawny carbon]

People who think battlefield have SBMM or alike . Your insane

[tidal trail]

You're

[tawny carbon]

Thanks, Auto correct AI

I was hoping for an MP7-like gun tbh

[queen violet]

Everything. In our world. Right now. Is being ruined By these crazy mofo.

Just look around

The great reset

[toxic wigeon]

👃

Map looks interesting tho ngl

I barely played last season

I actually didn’t even buy the pass

[pine roost]

looking good

[toxic wigeon]

I’ll prob come back for the new one though

Why is the icon different

[pine roost]

oh wait, the vehicle menu is now on right click

[toxic wigeon]

It’s a gear

[solid imp]

Fight for scarce water by dropping lots of lead in and around it

[toxic wigeon]

Is that new?

[pine roost]

ok

[ebon pilot]

we'll just clean it ez

[pine roost]

that's pretty good. The old gear kept getting blocked by other ui elements

[untold flower]

smartest conspiracy theorist

[untold flower]

looks fire now i hope my bad luck with teams end 🙏

[pine roost]

i'm hoping to have some good fun with this one

[toxic wigeon]

Same

[solid imp]

map does look great... I think it will be good to have no shared sectors. You get a flag = you get a sector

[toxic wigeon]

Glad it’s more open though

[solid imp]

and that bottom D sector spanning uncaps will be really interesting

[toxic wigeon]

Seems that buildings are going to be destructible too

[untold flower]

i imagine vehicle mains will have a rough time on this map

[solid imp]

oh no

what will we do

the horror

[toxic wigeon]

I’ve never been good enough to main vehicles in these games lol

But I used to fly planes a lot

[untold flower]

ez t1 for c5 or mines or launchers

[toxic wigeon]

But would always lose at dogfights

[pine roost]

Have we seen any jets on this map yet?

might be another without any

[solid imp]

I'm here for it

[toxic wigeon]

Would be weird to release a new bomber with a new map that doesn’t support it

But I guess they did that last season

[spare pasture]

There won’t

[pine roost]

didn't think there would be

[winged terrace]

Sad

Looks like I will never see that map then

[pine roost]

you an avid pilot?

[winged terrace]

jet ✈️

[toxic wigeon]

I do wish the new maps had more air vehicle stuff tbh

[winged terrace]

Never play a map that doesn’t have one

[toxic wigeon]

It’s what I started playing bf for

[solid imp]

pretty small for jets tho

[winged terrace]

They used to have jets on smaller maps

[pine roost]

this one is one of the few without, and it's size would make it pretty awkward

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah Ik

Tho tbh 2042 plays better infantry anyway

[solid imp]

jets always felt awkward on maps like Hainan Resort

[toxic wigeon]

Compared to the others

So it’s fine

[winged terrace]

The light house map too was really small

When jets were on it

[spare pasture]

Valparaiso

[pine roost]

I mean, i'd be down for jets in this one, but I also don't mind

[winged terrace]

Yes

[royal swan]

Reclaimed and this map will have helies but no jets

[winged terrace]

Also miss jets on discarded 64

I rarely fly 128 solo just too much stuff now

[pine roost]

also that was the first time we've seen the new visual recoil in actual combat

[winged terrace]

I am just dog fighting and killing wild cats the whole game

[toxic wigeon]

It’s just visual right

[spare pasture]

Yea

[toxic wigeon]

I saw some controversy about it but didn’t look into it

[spare pasture]

Maybe

[pine roost]

The physical mechanics aren't changing, but the clarity for the most part is being adjusted

[toxic wigeon]

Ah

[pine roost]

in the end, as long as you can see screen centre clearly I don't mind. Doesn't look to be too exaggerated

[toxic wigeon]

I don’t mind it then

Honestly if you have fov high and it doesn’t adjust for weapon you basically have no recoil on screen lol

[solid imp]

United TPC and Eastern forces have made landfall in Chile

[spare pasture]

How so

[tall jackal]

Asian

Why target a certain region to a name in the game?

[toxic wigeon]

Bait

[solid plume]

I hate how the 'zones' are for objectives now, liked them much better early release.

now they're just squares with absolutely 0 thought in regards to what buildings they go through, streets, vantages, etc

so cringe

[spare pasture]

I’m not sure how true this is

[tall jackal]

True. But this game doesn't need more attention. Better let them focus on BF5/BF6/BF7

[solid plume]

ya they need peace and quiet to properly fk those titles

true

[tall jackal]

Whatever the name is for the next one

[solid plume]

like Im buying the next BF LMFAO

[tall jackal]

Technically it should be called BF5 since it is said it takes place after 4 but we already got "V" which is kind of 5

[solid plume]

"heres dog shit, come back for the next serving"

[tall jackal]

Ooookay chill. Let them show it first

[solid plume]

the trailers will always glamorize the game that could be but never will

[tall jackal]

You're not wrong sadly xD. But the thing is, we should let them try atleast one more time. If it fails, I am guessing EA shuts down DICE

[solid plume]

if this ur first BF title?

let them try at least one more time....

[tall jackal]

Been here since BC2

[solid plume]

(atfer like 8 titles)

[spare pasture]

2

[tall jackal]

BF1 was good and that was 2 titles ago

[solid plume]

never bought it

[tall jackal]

My bad, the best world war game ever

[toxic wigeon]

Honestly never liked bf1

[solid plume]

bf4 was such a dogwater release I skipped hardline, V, and 1

tried 2042 and got bit again

lmfao

[toxic wigeon]

Hardline was bad

Idk why people defend it so much

[tall jackal]

Hardline was a good game but not a BF game. BF4 had shit launch but was banger a bit after

[solid plume]

bf4 was a banger, just took some 12mo to actually be playable

[spare pasture]

Bf4 is good now

[solid plume]

like literally it would crash on pc for the first 12mo

[solid plume]

ya its like 10 yrs old LMFAO

[tall jackal]

BF1 was great and one of if not the best WW1 game I've played and seen. BFV was mediocre but is good compared to 2042 lol

[rose fiber]

I will definitely wait to see what launch content will be like for next title and if they plan to have at least 20 maps by the end. And if there are microtransactions I'll probably wait at least a year to see in what direction they're going cuz I really hate looking at some skins in the game

[tall jackal]

EA will never learn

[spare pasture]

I wouldn’t say it mid anymore

[toxic wigeon]

Skins in 2042 aren’t that bad

[solid plume]

our saving grace is that all the OG devs left after 5/1 and have gone to make BF-esque FPS's that are starting to come out now.
EA might as well just kill the franchise and sell it off

[toxic wigeon]

At least the ones I remember

[rose fiber]

Probably not, I preordered BF1 and 5 and didn't regret it till 2042

[toxic wigeon]

Those smaller fps games will never succeed

[spare pasture]

[tall jackal]

They are half-assed skins with low quality wdym?

[toxic wigeon]

Low quality sure

But not level of mw3

[tall jackal]

Don't even talk about MW3 xD

Shit game

[toxic wigeon]

True

[spare pasture]

Mw3 isn’t even great quality

[solid plume]

MW3, what you dont want to pay 29.99 for a trans-friendly rainbow skin?

[spare pasture]

This but I unironically

[tall jackal]

Mr. Battlefield AKA Lars went and made that studio kalled TTK right?

[toxic wigeon]

What I mean when I say the skins aren’t bad is they aren’t distracting

Some of them are goofy sure

[rose fiber]

I don't like seeing non military skins in BF. Yea some look cool like suit Crawford but it just doesn't fit into warfare lmao. Then there are skins that are also weird on top of not fitting the theme

[toxic wigeon]

But they are mostly ignorable

[toxic wigeon]

My reasoning for the goofy skins is that since there is no real organizations in 2042 they just wear whatever they want

Even though that still doesn’t explain it lol

[spare pasture]

Guys what about the cyborg skins

[tall jackal]

Imagine we get BF4 on steroids with a banger campaign, great innovative multiplayer gameplay BUT not scrapping the same core as BF3/BF4 had, the atmosphere as BF1

[spare pasture]

Never

[toxic wigeon]

Atmosphere kinda hard to create for a modern game

Like bf1

[rose fiber]

Imo story of no pats was excuse for skins. I'm fairly certain that they had to keep skins in mind when coming up with story. Just like in cod now you have also 2 private military groups in multiplayer

[toxic wigeon]

It was the excuse lmao

I remember the minute they were revealed I said this game is going to have an entire skin system like cod

[tall jackal]

No BF3 had amazing atmosphere for its time

[patent pivot]

FRAG OUT, MOTHERFUCKER

One of the memorable lines

[tall jackal]

Exactly

[patent pivot]

2042 quotes don't hit the same

They're simply childish

[toxic wigeon]

I never liked bf3 because of the blue filter

[tall jackal]

Don't be sad, it's just how it works out sometimes

[toxic wigeon]

Some stuff in games just make me not play them for some reason

[tall jackal]

Idk if thats the correct quote

[toxic wigeon]

I liked 4 better tho

[patent pivot]

Well if you're on PC, I suggest VU

[toxic wigeon]

Didn’t play much 3

[patent pivot]

Install that for the game

VU removes the filter

[toxic wigeon]

Ik there’s stuff you can get to remove it

[tall jackal]

[toxic wigeon]

But not really worth it imo

[patent pivot]

Look man

[toxic wigeon]

Idk how active bf3 is rn

[patent pivot]

I only play VU just for AI bots

That's it

[tall jackal]

Pretty active for its age

[toxic wigeon]

Ah

[patent pivot]

If you're doing the same for bf4

[solid plume]

bf3 was an amazing game

[patent pivot]

Be my guest and waitn

[solid plume]

bf3 & 4 absolute bangers

after the post-release issues

[rose fiber]

Idk, I kind of see BF4 as an upgrade to 3 so when I go back I simply go to BF4

[patent pivot]

VU has bf3n

And now

Bf4 will soon have WR

[toxic wigeon]

I just wish bf4 servers weren’t the same 4 maps lol

[junior galleon]

that sucks

[patent pivot]

Missing maps

That's the pro of 3

[toxic wigeon]

When I played last was like only siege of Shanghai

Overrated map

[patent pivot]

Same bro

[toxic wigeon]

Cool gimmick tho

[patent pivot]

No need to worry

WR will fix that

I promise you

[rose fiber]

Yea fair point, maybe someone will create project that puts BF3 maps into BF4

[patent pivot]

WR can support that

Who knows

[tall jackal]

Copyright no?

[patent pivot]

No

WR doesn't do that shit

It's completely legal

WR is under protected license

[rose fiber]

I don't think you can get copyrighted as long as you don't sell it and ahve to own legal copy of game to mod it

[patent pivot]

Yes

WR doesn't have patreon donation

And WR requires real game copy

No worry

[rose fiber]

I think problem with the Modern Warfare project was that they no longer required people to own actual copy of the game

[tall jackal]

What is WR sorry I am confused

[patent pivot]

Warsaw Revamped

[tall jackal]

Ah

[patent pivot]

You mean labx

[rose fiber]

I think that was it, don't remember the name of the project. Basically multiple cods in one

[patent pivot]

Probably labx

Plutonium no longer supports free game files

And alterware is a new cod client

[arctic grove]

SM2?

[rose fiber]

Yeah I think it was that

[mental delta]

That shit got shut down by Activision lol

[arctic grove]

Yea unfortunately

[mental delta]

They were scared too many people would play it

[rose fiber]

Problem was they made it so that you didn't have to buy the cod in order to play it

[tall jackal]

Can we talk about the people leaving DICE

[rose fiber]

Which is basically giving game for free which should be bought

[patent pivot]

Man

I have bought these old cod just to play ai bots

Without some limitations bs

[amber kelp]

whats left to say?

[tall jackal]

Isn't it kind of concerning

[amber kelp]

yeah?

youre kinda late on this

[mental delta]

It may be lol, dude who left had been hired in 2022, less than 2 years later : he leaves

[tall jackal]

No shit sherlock, just wanted to talk about BF and not cod

[mental delta]

Unepexcted move lol

[spare pasture]

The next BF definitely won’t be good considering the circumstance

[patent pivot]

Honestly
If the next one won't have fantastic solo mode

I'm out

[spare pasture]

I mean I’m more about multiplayer

[amber kelp]

has any bf had a fantastic solo mode in the last decade?

[patent pivot]

Well I want AI bots in multiplayer

[spare pasture]

Bad company 2

[toxic wigeon]

I never played these games for campaign lol

[tall jackal]

Surely. My theory is that they are leaving because of EA limiting their creative freedom. Didn't EA recently after 2042 give more freedom tho?

[patent pivot]

That's competent, and have more flexible options

[amber kelp]

last decade

[spare pasture]

Idk

[spare pasture]

Like 2010s or 2020s

[patent pivot]

Well I grew out of campaign, I want bots in multiplayer setting

[toxic wigeon]

Ah

Yeah

[spare pasture]

Because bfbc2 came out in 2010 or is that 2000s

[toxic wigeon]

I liked 2042 single player stuff

[amber kelp]

bc2 is 13 years old mate

[arctic grove]

Is player count very low for this game, I joined a fM and.o was jus wonof us in the game, I fo.to play breakthrough and it keeps throwing me into the same.in progress and where we are losing

[mental delta]

1st. Wow wow wow, don't make us unlucky bro please
2nd. Then it doesn't mean much for now, sure the free BR announcement wasn't particularly a good news, and the fact the other left isn't good news either, but for now we know so few things about next game that we can't say much

[patent pivot]

Well it's crap

[spare pasture]

I just hope 2042 will get another season or two

[naive quiver]

https://youtu.be/LuYlbKOkV1k?si=t9DsBr-tvEP9IhRU

[tall jackal]

Yeah only if it mattered lol

[amber kelp]

wym by "matter"?

[wide shore]

It’s 14 now

[mental delta]

Last time mfs had creative freedom they made cringe ass specialists and shit so no thanks we're good with that

[toxic wigeon]

True

[wide shore]

[toxic wigeon]

Easy attachments tho

[tall jackal]

If the writers actually got something out of it, maybe a singleplayer story

[amber kelp]

hold on, specialists were DICE's idea? Not EAs?

[tall jackal]

EA

[spare pasture]

Flag c could use a box or something in the middle

[patent pivot]

If any of you played original battlefront campaign, I don't mind that style being used in battlefield

[amber kelp]

it fits better for BF tbh

[toxic wigeon]

Battlefront 2?

[spare pasture]

501st journal 👌

[toxic wigeon]

That campaign was fun

[patent pivot]

Star wars?

[tall jackal]

EA thought it would be a great idea to get more money out of specialist skins since Apex is a cash grab for micro

[toxic wigeon]

But idk why people have so much nostalgia for it lol

[mental delta]

I thought he was talking about Dice creativity freedom

[toxic wigeon]

It’s basically just multiplayer maps

[amber kelp]

as in that style of campaign works better for Battlefield than what BF usually does

[patent pivot]

Still fun than linear, scripted level

[mental delta]

But it's BF not Battlefront lol

[amber kelp]

BF single player being linear scripted missions is such a waste of a sandbox

[patent pivot]

I can sort of see this design working for field

It's not a horrible idea

[arctic grove]

Bots in MP are pretty useful if we’re talking about local play, something that’s on and off with modern gaming

[tall jackal]

Yeah Dice's creative freedom that EA is limiting

[mental delta]

Fuck both

[arctic grove]

Both are absolutely responsible tbh

[patent pivot]

Local play I said!

[amber kelp]

people just assume anything bad is EA's idea.
No, developers can make greedy stupid decisions. They do that all the time

[patent pivot]

And an optional private PvE with friends

[arctic grove]

DICE pulls plenty of questionable moves themselves regardless and not related to EA lol

[arctic grove]

Yep 100%

[amber kelp]

If you want a good example of this look how the assumption of "the publisher is to blame" bit the destiny community in the ass

[arctic grove]

EA is actually the reason DICE is getting their shit together now, yeah EA was probably behind the core concepts of 2042 but DICEs execution meant everything

[tall jackal]

DICE wants to make something different, EA is limiting their own choices therefore making the game less interesting to develop

[amber kelp]

DICE wants to make something different
how do you know this?

[toxic wigeon]

I guess with the recent leavings

By directors

[amber kelp]

We know nothing about the internal politics. All we can glean is that the ship is rocky

[tall jackal]

Why do you think 2042 was bad? DICE going a full 180 from BF1/BF5's setting and how the game is mechanically and artisticly or EA seeing BR's taking off and Apex being a good example of EA getting that cash grab thinking 2042 had the same potential

[arctic grove]

Do I still get XP if I play solo with bots

[tall jackal]

We kind of do, there are insider leaks and talks about it

[amber kelp]

ah there we go. I remember the leaks of 2042 originally being a BR, but dont recall anything about EA mandating it

[tall jackal]

Of course EA doesn't officially say that wdym

[amber kelp]

Leaks also pointed towards a large reason for 2042's botched development being a lack of experience

[amber kelp]

but do the leaks say that?

[wheat nest]

The new s7 red dot sight looks like my future main optic.

[tall jackal]

Originally EA wants to cater a different audience and tries to make it into a more profitable game but BF's core is something we can't replace. Also the poor development was caused by Covid-19 but also lack of experience

[amber kelp]

was this in the leaks?

EA's responsibility specifically and explicitly

Because without that you cannot rule out the possibility that DICE upper management made these decisions

[tall jackal]

Could also be true we don't know exactly what but DICE upper management is unlikely due to them making great games up until BF5/2042 where they did a 180 from the core gameplay of BF

[toxic wigeon]

Well who made the decision to cancel Bfv and Battlefront 2

[tall jackal]

Cancel BFV?

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah they stopped updating it

[amber kelp]

DICE upper management is unlikely due to them making great games up until BF5/2042
team rosters change, people change, people fuck up. 4 was not particuarly well managed internally either.

Also reminder that EA published those previous games as well.

[cosmic dragon]

theyve done a big 180 imo

[patent pivot]

At the very least, 4 had better aesthetic

[amber kelp]

indubitably

[patent pivot]

Alot of people tend to hate on game structure and gameplay over visual presentation

It's mind boggling

[tall jackal]

Better gameplay, more content, no shitty specialists

[toxic wigeon]

Why would people care for graphics

[tall jackal]

I don't think everyone realizes how void 2042 is compared to other BF games

[patent pivot]

I'm not saying the 3d graphics part

[toxic wigeon]

Gameplay is what keeps people playing

[ivory canopy]

Bad graphics can potentially ruin a game.

[toxic wigeon]

Aesthetics are important though

[patent pivot]

More so the way it's presented

[ivory canopy]

If they make the game with designs that hurt to look at, how can you play it?

[tall jackal]

True graphics are a huge part of immersion and atmosphere

[amber kelp]

Gotta have a setting that is colorful and innoffensive so you can add whatever hideous skins you want to it

[patent pivot]

Look, I really like NFS shift

[tall jackal]

Audio is a downgrade from BF1/BFV to 2042 as well

[patent pivot]

Despite bad physics and such, the experience was immaculate

[patent pivot]

Obviously

[amber kelp]

no game comes close to BF1 audio

[ivory canopy]

Agreed

[arctic grove]

No, fortunately most people understand, though I’ve talked to some who make up any reason to shit on the previous titles so

[patent pivot]

The vault guns sounds bad

[ivory canopy]

I wish they stopped doing the shit techno and went toward the orchestral soundtrack that 2142 had

[arctic grove]

Aesthetics 100% matter honestly

[tall jackal]

Sounds like they took an electronic drumset and just spammed a snare drum for the weapons

[amber kelp]

"rOsE tInTeD gLaSsEs"
once had a guy try to diagnose me as clinically depressed because I didnt find 2042 fun

[patent pivot]

Tbh m, 3 and 4 were mostly electronic

Than orchestra

[arctic grove]

People say they don’t but I don’t think people would have given a shit to create games like CoD WaW if it weren’t true lol, fun fact, the dev who added the ray gun Easter egg to one campaign mission in that game almost got fired over it cause they wanted to maintain some consistency

[ivory canopy]

Yea

[tall jackal]

2042 isn't techno. It's hell

[ivory canopy]

I was not a fan of the OST for 3/4

[patent pivot]

BUT GOOD ELECTRONIC

[arctic grove]

[patent pivot]

Wat the foo

[amber kelp]

2042 OST sounds like a dying whale converted to midi

[patent pivot]

Most of the time, the OST tracks are quiet

[tall jackal]

HAHAHAH

[patent pivot]

Seriously

[spare pasture]

2042 when scratching metal

[patent pivot]

Most maps tracks are damn quiet

[amber kelp]

thank god imagine if they were loud

[patent pivot]

You're joking right

[tall jackal]

The orchestral tracks of 1 and V are amazing

[amber kelp]

I dont want to hear that shit.
Maybe if the OST was actually good

[patent pivot]

3 and 4 had better round end themes than 2042

Fuck

[arctic grove]

How do I get one too of the ship on stranded

[spare quest]

fly

[patent pivot]

How the hell can you prefer 2042 round end themes over previous games

[ivory canopy]

Each their own IG

[amber kelp]

Nobody said that.

[toxic wigeon]

I honestly don’t pay attention to shooter game themes

[arctic grove]

Boar on stranded how does.oje get one too of i

[toxic wigeon]

Civ V tho is a different story

[amber kelp]

BF1 tho?

[patent pivot]

You're a sin for playing BF without music on

[toxic wigeon]

Can’t remember the themes honestly

[patent pivot]

And you're one of those freaks that plays Spotify music over the gameplay

[toxic wigeon]

I have it on

I just don’t really pay attention to it

[arctic grove]

That shit distracts me so much I can’t do it

[toxic wigeon]

I don’t listen to music when I play lol

[patent pivot]

Unless the gameplay stream isn't taken seriously

[toxic wigeon]

Unless I’m just playing to chill

[patent pivot]

Sure I don't mind that case scenario

[arctic grove]

I don’t mind video game music cause it tends to be dynamic anyway

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah when the end of round theme starts playing it’s cool

But I don’t think I could name a single song lol

[tall jackal]

Go listen to BF1's OST and listen to "Battlefield One" and "The Flight of the Pigeon"

[arctic grove]

Anyone know how tonget to the op side of the ship on strande?

[tall jackal]

Like "Hunted" from BF1

[patent pivot]

The most memorable OST in 1 is either the epilogue

Or that night map

Naval strike style, spawn screen

[mental delta]

Last time they made something different we got BF2042, it hade horrible specialists and 2 years after it released it still doesn't really feel like a BF game imo

[patent pivot]

Even hardline still feels like a BF game

[tall jackal]

Something different as in not EA's interest

[toxic wigeon]

Barely lol

Hardline always felt so off to me

Idk why

I remember playing it at a friends house

[patent pivot]

The UI HUD in hardline was recognizable

[tall jackal]

It's not a BF game but its a decent game

[toxic wigeon]

And I just didn’t like it at all

[patent pivot]

2042 isn't

[arctic grove]

btw dont let people gaslight you with, “but big map and vehicle”, battlefield has always had its own art direction as well, which is completely missing, not to mention a lot of “legacy features”

[patent pivot]

The animation

Death screens

Mostly everything

Hardline was 75% BF
2042 is maybe... 25%

[mental delta]

Yeah I didn't cite it because I don't want anyone to get mad but somehow BFH feels more immersive than BF2042 which is crazy because BFH was literally the less immersive game they released lol

[patent pivot]

Better voice acting and OST

[tall jackal]

I think it is pretty immersive when it comes to cops and robbers lol

Maybe not xD

[mental delta]

Yeah we've all witnessed what "big maps" meant lol, overly large maps with no covers and so badly designed that you somehow get to a point where you leave the game instantly when you aknowledge you're playing on a certain map lol

[mental delta]

Yeah the cringevoicelines from BF2042's launch all made us feel dirty lol

[tall jackal]

2042 map design is designed for marathons

[patent pivot]

All thanks to tac sprint

[tall jackal]

Without any enemies

[patent pivot]

Is tac sprint really the norm of fps shooter

[toxic wigeon]

Yes

[tall jackal]

Ye beacuse it's realistic

[toxic wigeon]

I don’t mind it tho

[midnight mesa]

tac sprint sucks in 2042

[amber kelp]

No theres only 2 games with this mechanic

[patent pivot]

So this goes back to the old saying of "cod sprint mode"

[mental delta]

Yeah it's shit, I like how people find them excuses for terrible launch and for some points yeah they kinda have an excuse, but they can't fool us on shitty maps design, it's totally their fault

[tall jackal]

Although it should't be like it is in 2042

[amber kelp]

I cant think of a single milsim with this mechanic. Its just sprint

[tall jackal]

2 new maps in season 7 btw

Wait....

[midnight mesa]

you can just tac sprint for literally forever

and the animation for it for some guns are dogshit

[patent pivot]

Even reboot cod has short tac sprint duration

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah because the maps are tiny

[tall jackal]

Yeah but there should be a fast sprint, a faster "walking" or running and just walking

[patent pivot]

Not only maps, but limited duration of the sprint

[tall jackal]

Depending on the combat situation

[patent pivot]

Without the perk, you can only tac for 3 seconds

[toxic wigeon]

Bf should not be a Milsim

It’s why I play bf

[patent pivot]

With perk, it extends to like 6

[tall jackal]

No but more immersive

[toxic wigeon]

I play squad and arma sometimes

[arctic grove]

Maps are too big so they gimped real movement mechanics and went with speed and low cooldowns

[toxic wigeon]

But bf is arcade

[arctic grove]

[amber kelp]

largest maps in BF
least amount of transport vehicles

[toxic wigeon]

Tac sprint doesn’t really add or remove any immersion

[blazing briar]

Not true. Its milsim.

[patent pivot]

Vote✓
Tac sprint, Infinite or limited duration?

[tall jackal]

Okay true

[tall jackal]

Limited

[amber kelp]

lmao?

[arctic grove]

Battlefield is arcade sandbox

[midnight mesa]

if they add it in the next bf i hope they add more purpose for it

[tall jackal]

It pretty much is a sandbox milsim arcade shooter

[toxic wigeon]

It’s not even close to Milsim

[amber kelp]

theres no "simulation" here

[blazing briar]

Cod spy spotted

[patent pivot]

In other words

[tall jackal]

You got me there

[patent pivot]

Dolphin dive or crouch slide

[tall jackal]

Dolphin dive

[arctic grove]

It’s not milsim but I actually completely understand what he means by that. Older BF games were just consistent with their art direction especially always compared to CoD, so that’s where that kinda developed from

[tall jackal]

I don't understand crouch sliding

[toxic wigeon]

Same it’s goofy

[amber kelp]

the absolute state of fps games if basic art direction is enough to be a sim

[blazing briar]

Warfares changin and who knows what year 2042 gonna look like. We ll likely have new guns and equipment

[arctic grove]

[patent pivot]

Since there's no trench warfare in 2042, crouch sprint doesn't exist

A theory

[arctic grove]

As an example BF4 also played a lot more grounded compared to CoDs of its time (so advanced warfare, ghosts, bo2, etc)

[mental delta]

1 map and 1 map layout remake but yes

[tall jackal]

I wish the next game has the legacy features BFV had. Like crouch running, peeking, back-laying and more immersive movement

[arctic grove]

It won’t be that different, military acquisition takes forever, and things oftentimes aren’t phased out if there’s no real reason to do so, but 2042 did get the M7 being around correct

[tall jackal]

I was sarcastic haha

[toxic wigeon]

The movement in V was a bit buggy

But it was fluid and felt nice

[mental delta]

Ha my bad then lol

[tall jackal]

Np

[arctic grove]

I just didn’t like the sliding or back prone

[toxic wigeon]

I liked when something exploded and you got thrown to the ground

[arctic grove]

Besides that it was good

[toxic wigeon]

Even though some hated it

[arctic grove]

I’m mixed on that

[toxic wigeon]

Back prone was cheap lol

[tall jackal]

Back prone was fun but sliding not so much

[toxic wigeon]

Sit in corner and wait for dudes to run into building your hiding in

[arctic grove]

Sometimes it makes me think I got shot and then I realize I’m still alive but I wonder how possible it is for that mechanic to get you shot by someone who wasn’t affected by the explosion

[tall jackal]

Funny how 2042 doesn't even have peeking when BF4 had it lol

[arctic grove]

I think it’s unique though

[patent pivot]

I sometimes use peek

And I'm not always a fast pace player

[arctic grove]

I just got PTSD of how many times someone excused no leaning because insert personal experience inconveniences here

[amber kelp]

Sliding is conceptually fine so long as it cant be used to start an engagement.

If the slide is fast enough to do some hollywood dive & shoot shit then its a bad mechanic

[tall jackal]

Yeah and abused, same with crouch spamming

[arctic grove]

Like if you’re concerned about visibility fair enough. But I don’t see it being that much of a problem unless you were out in the open and got shot by someone playing smarter than you did

[amber kelp]

Its crazy cause half the time these were not opinions until DICE announced the change.
Not a single soul complained about leaning until it was removed. Same with this "ooh people only pick classes for their guns" shit

[junior galleon]

i really dislike sliding

[arctic grove]

That’s another thing I realized as well

Like a few days ago when I had to explain why a functional scoreboard is actually integral to an fps game

[toxic wigeon]

Honestly I did pick classes for guns

[tall jackal]

People always has

[amber kelp]

and is that really a problem?

[tall jackal]

Not a problem no

[arctic grove]

Locking guns to classes always made sense to me

[toxic wigeon]

Not imo

Locking guns makes sense

[amber kelp]

"wow people use the class that focuses on cqc when they want to use cqc guns what a broken game"

[toxic wigeon]

I don’t mind them being unrestricted tho in 2042

Kind of have to be

The way the specialists work

[tall jackal]

But people don't focus on the teamplay

[toxic wigeon]

Also limited guns

[tall jackal]

That is the problem

[amber kelp]

teamplay is more than just using support gadgets

[arctic grove]

It’s not as much a problem with the specialists I think as it is just the lack of guns to begin with

[tall jackal]

Nah like people using the suomi from BFV to get 100-10 in one match without reviving

[arctic grove]

Isn’t there still only like 3 shotguns in the game

[toxic wigeon]

Yes

Lack of guns is main

But some of the specialists wouldn’t really work with their main guns if they were locked

Like recon

[arctic grove]

There especially isn’t much of a shared weapon category, and it’s pretty much ran by the railgun I imagine

[spare pasture]

Day 483

[toxic wigeon]

Paik would be useless

[arctic grove]

That’s true yeah I see what you mean

[mental delta]

Game has been out for 2 years but somehow you still can't lean when behind a wall

[arctic grove]

Paik seems more like assault to me than recon

[tall jackal]

xD

[arctic grove]

You couldn’t even swim btw

[amber kelp]

half of the specialists are just stupid shit.

[tall jackal]

OH NO NOT THE SWIMMING I FORGOT

[toxic wigeon]

True lol

[tall jackal]

Knifing the water to dive

[toxic wigeon]

Swimming lol

Honestly never mattered to me

I didn’t really care they removed it

I miss boats tho

And naval stuff

[tall jackal]

See

[arctic grove]

It only didn’t matter cause none of the maps had water higher than like

Ankle level

[toxic wigeon]

Yea

lol

[tall jackal]

Goes against your opinion. Well I miss boats, but I don't care about swimming like whut

[toxic wigeon]

Because swimming was annoying

[mental delta]

I think you could but you still can't dive and use boats lol

[arctic grove]

There’s technically manifest. But I’ve literally only ever seen the MAV used amphibious if the driver sat right up under the cargo ships to spawn troops

[tall jackal]

Yeah lets float or walk on water

[arctic grove]

Oh yeah my fault I meant diving

You can swim but you can’t dive to avoid being seen/shot, so swimming was like a death sentence

[toxic wigeon]

The swimming in 2043 is just swimming so it’s fine

Diving isn’t needed

[tall jackal]

2043 next game title confirmed

[mental delta]

Imagine setting your game in a context where seas have risen, where multiple big cities got flooded, but somehow there's not a single map featuring naval fights nor areas with enough water to swim in

[arctic grove]

Diving contextually works, it also depends on game mode and map

I know I’d pull some navy seal shit with diving in bf1 to sneak up on enemies in heligoland bight

[arctic grove]

The MAV profile card literally shows it like, coming up out of what’s obviously a large body of water too

[tall jackal]

Okay everone chill about 2042's diving mechanics and just hope that the next BF with an upgraded engine can deliver a hell of an experience

[arctic grove]

No diving I no buy

Jokes aside it’s more a problem of the fact that it’s the little shit that just is not there

[patent pivot]

Tell me a time where you dive to avoid being killed by gunfire or explosion

[mental delta]

Lol yes, even Manifest has some area where you can see RHIB boats on a little layout of sand just like some people have attacked the place by sea

[tall jackal]

OH YEAH

Multiple times

[cold beacon]

I dont know, seeing many devs be laid off is kinda concerning when we look at the next game

[toxic wigeon]

Not really

The truth is

[cold beacon]

I hope the "all is good on the frontline" from Battlefield about next BF game isnt gonna age poorly

[toxic wigeon]

These studios had way too much devs

[tall jackal]

Yeah but they did talk with the old devs getting some advice

[toxic wigeon]

Than what they needed

[arctic grove]

IMO I’d prefer the least being little attack boats, RHIBs are like the easiest way to do naval but it’s not really interesting

[tall jackal]

And letting the dev team and higherups undertand why older BF games were good

[cold beacon]

well, yeah, but Letho leaving, Craig leaving

[tall jackal]

Yep

[cold beacon]

it is concerning

[glossy lava]

They hired a lot of ex dice devs

The one's leaving did fuck all tbh

[cold beacon]

Well hopefully it turns out well

[arctic grove]

The idea is the ones who left are why DICE isn’t that good now

Especially from BF1 and V

They lost most experienced devs

[mental delta]

Well it's kind of water jeeps imo lol, if there's naval fight you got to have RHIB boats to be able to move over sea parts at speed and withoug having full attack equipment, but yeah naval fights obviously requires bigger boats like BF4 ones or maybe like a naval carrier as a deployment point just like in BF4 naval strike

[cold beacon]

I dont know, its just the fact that we've seen so many stuff like: "Next BF game is gonna be re-imagination" or false promises from 2042 like: "love letter for fans"

[arctic grove]

Oh yeah 100% rhibs would be important, I’m just saying I’d also like actual vehicles that can be used as their own playstyle as well

[cold beacon]

when they said: "we are ahead of the schedule" or when we could play freely before the release of 2042 they said: "it's just a beta"

and it turned out it wasn't

[toxic wigeon]

Maybe their schedule was like 3 things

lol

[cold beacon]

I just don't feel like we can trust DICE as much anymore

[cold beacon]

wdym

[toxic wigeon]

They said they are ahead of schedule

But what was on their schedule

Was a joke lol

[arctic grove]

I admit and yall can probably find it in my chat logs here, but I was one of those people who said “nah bro the betas just a really old build”

[toxic wigeon]

lol

Yeah don’t trust that

[cold beacon]

Yeah, I hoped so too

[mental delta]

Like this with more customization options

[toxic wigeon]

These “betas” aren’t real betas

[ocean moss]

BF1942 DC MOD !!!

[toxic wigeon]

If you played an actual game beta it’s a completely different story

[ocean moss]

JTHE OG

[arctic grove]

Shit I mean even CoD betas were more functional
