HZ was competitive then they made it easy
But I'm just built different
Am I right in thinking 1 of the 2 new maps is just a re-release of a part of a map that used to be in the game
(falling for the skinner box battlepass)
HZ was a shithole since launch, it was a mode nobody asked for in the first place and unexpectedly nobody played it
best mode game has
yes it straight up is that.
hands down
Lol I ain't paying no skins
I presume this is going to be the last season for the game
hopefully
then why the hell are you playing 2042 if you find it less fun than 1 or 4?
They’ll prolly end it with 8 but sooner the better
They are working on the new bf aren't they?
its not releasing till 2025
I choose to see it as some kind of map remake yes, just like they remade all base maps they remade Stadium as well except it's a "map" now
imagine if they idk like brought over metro, firestorm etc. sige of shang with the destruction
ranked rush could be kino but they'd have to severely limit/remove the vehicles
mackay utterly fucks siege of shanhai's design
Because it's the current one with highest playercount on consoles, don't really have a choice if I want to play BF
well no, not with 16v16 nvm
lol
Is this just copium though?
highest player count doesnt mean shit. All you need is a server or two in your region
I mean it ain't a new map lol, just some part of same map "remade" as "entire new map"
it's not even coming with the patch so it may as well not exist tbh
like look at this https://i.imgur.com/i8lD9aQ.jpeg
But they aren't even releasing the maps at the same time are they?
Yes and no, I tried to replay BF and it was fun but most servers were just 2 or 3 same maps all over so no no no for me
you can see the map rotations when looking at a server.
That sucks it's coming that late
Since you’re on PlayStation, BF1 has a lot of servers with decent rotations depending on when you get on
Yeah and most of the time map rotation is terrible
Although if you want the best player count V is your best bet
it was small squad based. not the rambo style of play. Def was great when they had the currency so you actually had to do well to continue and was easy way to get 1mil XP before they capped it.
as opposed to 2042's universally shit maps?
Idk last time I played it that was ok but not many servers though
Kinda lol
hey don't be so mean, spearhead is like a 4/10 instead of a 1/10 
you have crossplay on? could help
There's no crossplay on BF1
is 1 good?
Yes
Ye
better comp or just brain deads
It’s the only battlefield i consistently stick with nowadays, used to be 4 but I’m thinking I’m gonna rebuy that game on PC
compared to the unreal shitheaps that were 5 and 2042, it's a masterpiece
Dont even consider a battlefield game if you want comp my dude lol
Like you’re way better off playing CoD, the finals, or some other shit
cod is camp fest
BF1 had a planned comp mode but that’s about it, was called incursions if you ever wanna look into it
bf1 could've been better without suppression and the slide nerf but those are minor complaints compared to bf5 pure random recoil and 2042 broken input
42 you have pilots that just fly in circles. no ATG or ATA to help the team. people abandoning vics to where enemy will steal them
if i had a farm with chickens i assume this is what it would be like lol

bring back commander mode so i can launch cruise missiles from my tablet
and what ever happened to battlelog
Hell yeah commander was dope tbh
good commander can help massively
Like it obviously could’ve been better balanced but that’s with a lot of things
built in stat tracking was neat but the rest of it could've just been in the game, andhas been ever since
i liked being able to join games/party from phone or customise class while in the rest room. super convenient lol

miss the phantom bow challenges and the cool looking dog tags you could get from assignments. BF4 was dope man
think theyll bring a night mode to 42? or some darker maps with nvgs
its be similar to kaleidoscope so i don't get it? if worried just limit the range
Is this game fucking dead ?
It's Friday night
I'm on European servers
But somehow still can't find a game of Breakthrough
dying not ded yet lol
Ho boy it's pretty well almost dead
Only server I found is Hourglass
But game is almost over
And thanks to no persistent lobbies
I can't stay in same server after game's over
dope map for the javelin
nobody plays breakthrough
rush only fun if you are a boris main, gotta play fucking tower defense to get to bomb site
smoke n push
rather have fun in my jet
then have your off main hit it with incindies to keep from defusing
true drop a cluster or jdam and jsut shit on everyone below you lol
you know what i realized the 42 maps dont have runways for you to land the jets like in 4 caspian border, firestorm etc did so you could get out of dodge and heal up back at base
is friday night bf fun?
depends on the mode
is rush xl fun i should say
alr then imma try it
anyone know how to enable all chat instead of just team? and is there button config to lean or pie corners ?
all chat is in display settings under "chat"
ty
I'm the only one typing in the chat in my games
nobody answers my "gg" 
Gg
thx that means a lot to me 
Got you buddy 
Anytime
You deserved it 😎
Guys, I recently came back to the game - Is the battleplass just gone for ever? How do you earn the in game currency now?
Well the previous season’s is
You get the shekels by playing the new one (when it comes out) or by coughing up some money
Okay, thanks!
No problem
Wow these changes coming to season 7 look horrible. 2 c5s for assault and recon class. No emp for casper's drone. Wildcat's getting super nerfed
How hard is it to just copy from BF4's formula
who uses drones🤣
Oh stop being egotistical
T1 Casper player here lol
People sat in spawn in BF4 with mortars and UCAV
If I’m not wrong, in older games you do start out with 2 c4, and have to use an ammo box for more
At least don't make them recharge ammo
That's the major mistake
Can some1 tell me how to pick a-91 in portal mode?
Which games? Bf3 or BF4 wasn't like that
It was probably a change made in 1 and V then, cause I know in V it works that way
You can refill grenades and such
Just takes like several ticks
And standing besides one for 10 seconds or so
Infantry should never spawn with 3 c4 or 4+ rockets tbh, basically I’m saying I think it’s an actually good idea, not horrible
I think having a lot of rockets is fine. They take time to reload, need to be aimed, etc.
You'd need at least 2 people to kill a tank.
I suppose that’s true
That’s always how it should be. Either that or let infantry spawn with everything they need but significantly reduce the range c4 can be thrown from/decrease rocket velocity

RPG 7 or msaw user
Is this your first battlefield game, bud?
don't u dare
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Where the vehicle balance was even more fucked?
I shouldn’t entertain this question but I have a little bit of free time so yes, I put 800 hours into bf3
season 7 will be the last content drop? or will we get more
Almost 200 on BF1
Then the vehicle players play much more defensively and move away from the conflict
You're joking, right? Do you see little birds going on 100 kills streaks in bf4?
It could happen but most players weren’t doing that tbh
1600 here on bf1, is that an issue?
i should get that checked at the doctor
Cherry-picked footage combined with awful counterplay makes any vehicle seem OP
Non-Regenerating ammo resulting in tanks sitting on hills in the back in V

Until an engineer comes along
Or something
Teamplay doesn't exist in Battlefield unless a premade group came into play
BFV made you sit on objectives to replenish ammo
Tanks are going to camp regardless tbh though attrition in general was a mechanic I hated being added to a battlefield game
there is teamplay but it happens very very very rarely
Even as a Sundance main, this 3 C5 change is perfectly fine mostly because of how FUCKED tanks were at all times
From Observatory to the Warehouse objectives on Breakaway it takes maybe a minute or so for Sundance to get there and instantly fuck over any vehicle the game has
That's the size of MOST Battlefield maps
firestorm would've been a fire conquest map but it's probably too big
Oh and Mackay's grapple hook now actually follows the vehicle. It's pretty fucked and there's only one vehicle in the game that has a 'close support system'
Besides, 2 C5 already does a fuckton of damage
I think an 40mm AP might finish the job depending on the vehicle
theres something really cool about the SRAW that ive seen from the gameplay reveals so far
in the top right corner, it counts down the distances from 300m (the max) so you have a rough estimation on aiming against aircraft
i.e if you ping the heli and its 200m away, you know you have till about 100 left in the top right to hit it
looks like its also on the missile itself
that's nice actually
Oh man I hate armour but cucking shotgun mains is hilarious.
What happened to shotguns?
Body armour will get additional protection to buckshot and flechette.
Also their spread is being increased horizontally.
ay, that aim range works again!

blow up the enemy's landmine n da xp? I ask this because just now I blew up about 3 and the amount of xp didn't appear on the screen and as far as I remember, it always wins
body armor shouldnt even be a thing
honestly, if its to counter shotguns, based and keep it
whats the portal code
ABGRNR
Make it so that it only affects shotguns.
I have 247 hours in bf2042 😅 more then 500 in BFV
hahaha what a plot twist
and I got 767 hours in 2042
Fair enough😅 do you only Play bf2042 or?
i play other games but for a battlefield game its the only one I main.
also i played since launch
Nice
Yeah me too, but then stoped. Started again in s4 then stoped again. Didnt like the last two seasons
Now ill Play again, i like the New map
i just wanna play the new plane
bro i need a new loud out someone put me on pls
Falck, AC9 with the futuristic secondary that I forgot the name of. CC extended rounds
AC9 goes brrrrr

bett i’m gon try it out rn
ghostmaker ironsights
💀
I'm looking forward to using the PBX again to be honest.
na that didnt happen bc In 4 you actually had teammates actively shooting down air targets. comstamt stingers and iglas by the engineer with a support player next to them feeding boxes. for some reason in 42 ppl just dont seem to care to tag team air vics or even land vics for that matter
Vector is gonna be nasty again.
be nice to have an MP5 in 9 or 10mm
It was rarer than people think. For all we know those 100+ kill plays were in noob servers lol
im looking foward on the vault smgs
man getting kills in this game is so easy, like getting 30+ in a older game was like good numbers, now 40+ is a good number and even 100 is possible most of the tim (if you got alot of bots tho)
like recently I carried a team using the ram and got over 100 kills
we won but it was because I single capped the last objective with my ram and a team of bots
it will keep us occupied for a bit
it's like we got 2 mini seasons of content
still fucking hate it
also wtf dice giving smgs back hs damage? are they mad?!
fuck drip feeding
you cant reward good accuracy on smgs! 
is that a jab on them when they said smgs are more of a hipfire gun
i remember when they said that
thats literally what they said when they gutted them right?
yep
like the most braindead shit ever
literally the problem with SMGs was...the fast firing large mags 
imagine if you just...forced small mags with high rpm 🤯
but nah we dont have the data to support this wild theory...from the previous game
even your pistol gets one! 
I'll be honest
I don't know what to look forward to.
There are so many guns to try out.
Ever since OG DICE started to leave Battlefield, it's been a cursed franchise (which sucks), but trying to get to the bottom of what's going on.
At first glance, the next Battlefield game seems "safe" and "predictable".
The mystery's getting bigger everytime this mf tweets
tom wants his clicks
oh boy safe and predictable
Arcadic shooters are super easy keep in mind.
I'd love it of the AKS74U got a 1.9x HSM
that aint happening
It was a fun gun to run while getting the phantom challenges done.
No one expects a half competent Boris.
I don't mind it as an "smg"
it just feels wrong when you know what the real thing shoots
its a carbine and there should be a carbine class
but why
because lol
can someone explain what the fuck the melee hitbox is
So is the EVO but I don't see people talking about that.
Its a pistol carbine but still.
that's the gew right?
what’s the best secondary
bet
Laugo alien, nvk p125 or the deagle
g57 in burst fire
Erm
Deagle for the win
L9cz
i’m guessing preference?
just try them out
i just unlocked the futuristic pistol it’s pretty good
Kinda?
even after the nerf the g57 will get it can still 2 burst someone
g57 burst still deletes
so g57 better than the nvk yall think
I don't think so.
if the burst worked properly for the nvk it would probably be better
yea i just unlocked it and i dont rlly like the burst ive been using single fire
I'll specify this.
The NVK is perfect for people with a trigger finger.
The burst is only good for finishing people off (Which was its original intent)
I don't like the G57 purely because it's cheese and well, I forget to turn the burst on which gets annoying real quick.
The desert eagle is a really good side arm because of the fact that it disregards armour, Only weakness is its follow up potential.
Just don't be a me when you think you have a p125 and monkey mash the deagle while drunk as fuck.
i’ve been using the m44 with a 4x as my main secondary i also fw the g57 but i haven’t rlly tried any of the other ones
M44 is niche and not worth it 80% of the time.
I think it's fun as hell to use.
It's just how much you have to dedicate that slot to it.
I’d rather just use the deagle for that wiggle room
Oh bullet.
You MIGHT like to give the mp412 Rex a go.
My mate mains it cause it can OHK someone to the head 49 metres away.
PF51, basically a secondary smg with 50 round mag and 900 fire rate lol
not if you have multiple targets. perfect for the rng style of play with the m5
I want the music in the season 7 show in the second 0.45
Haven’t bothered with it yet, but if it’s an inbetween it’s worth a shot
can we just get the sig 226 or even 229. feel like this game hating on them for pistols lol
i just want the fn 5.7
yes that too omg
supposed to be 2042 but where are the present guns used today lmao
bro if they added the fn 57 would be the only secondary i use
.300 blackout hello?
Well it’s not like they can use every gun that exists
I thought an fn was an assault rifle
i mean they have keltec, cz, glock, S&W etc
na pistol for penetrating soft armor
Fn fal I was on about
Oh yeah.
would like the SKS to come back
FN SCAR, FN Avancys.
benelli 1014
Well I can’t make heads or tails of it
As per usual
I know of the 57 pistol though through cs
I remember it all the way back at black ops 2.
You bring that up. I would love to see the USP in a modern battlefield.
facts
Is that an actual thing?
dont let your memes be dreams
How can one gun be chambered for 3 different ammo types
magic
you change the barrel 
Since I know nothing about this, I can’t tell if that’s genuine or sarcasm
So I’ll leave it there to avoid embarrassing myself
lol
Yall I was wondering why don't the game have a hero system like in battlefront wouldn't it solve the immersion problem
I quite like the M60
I love that name.
I believe it does have something to do with the barrel and the gas system.
Normally though you cannot change an ammo type on the fly like you can do on 2042.
What if there was a handgun where you can change the caliber by simply replacing the slide assembly?
The mags for each caliber would be the same exact size and fit right into the frame
Technically the only one that makes sense is the VSS since no matter what its rounds are 9x19MM's.
You mean 9x39
I can imagine Glock waiting to release their new handgun which looks the same as the others but has caliber changing
Pistols focus more on stopping power to make up for their tiny ass round yeah?
Oh, and just for shits and giggles
Make the UXP capable of full auto
But give it insane dispersion to compensate
So if one chose the UXP with 5.7 ammo and ran it full auto, it'd have something like 1600 RPM.
Quite literally, spray and pray
I do believe it's feasible to make a caliber change handgun.
hey, is anyone having an issue purchasing battlefield 2042 coins ? it says purchased canceled
don't worry, they'll fix something like that very quickly

@next onyx

Appreciate it. :]

I have photos of a Call of Duty Weapons Vault. Where do I post it?
It has a deluge of new weapons, gadgets and throwable items like the Drill Charge and Thermobaric Grenade

======...

i can't launch the game i did reinstall the game can't launch it its just loading on eac then quits game and then crash ea
DICE should ad some vault weapons like 5 next season. What do you think?
So I recognize exactly zero names or studios there, i presume this is bad?
ridgeline were making the single player for the new battlefield or something like thst
Ahhhh oui oui
recently they closed and criterion took over
Good to see things are going well there 
lol yep
Beautiful
Is the scorpion skin
You will do amazing because your stats mean everything to people. I will do bad with it because my stats is horrendous
Every gun is amazing
I'll be the judge of that
I am i guess
VHX is king of all kings. Portal weapons is completely dogshit
Haven't done imformative videos just yet but might start
VHX Needs to be nerfed further into the ground
Sorry tryna act like I’m a high stat player
They reverted the VHX damage model
uh huh, don't be a T1 mackay with VHX armour plates and frag
VHX is ass to me. No skill required
Yeah i haven't touhed many meta weapons
legit tho.
i trying to T1 ghostmaker next

Meta weapons boreds me so much it’s not even a joke
Have fun T1ing GVT next Lego
Great weapon alred T3
Iron sights/TV2x + BCG + 6KU SILENCER

Look VHX is king of all kings in the entire game. As I use RPK and deleting people. Aks and still deleting people with my Bad stats record
My setup tho
yeah not bad one

Not sure.
DOk have god like stats.
I'm cracked
Look at mine.
Im godly with the worst of all stats
My stats is funny to some people. I get called bad.
I’m just playing for shits and giggles aka for fun only 
i should try have fun
but i'm a sweat so can't happen

Sweating at a game makes me not wanna play it anymore.
But playing the game for fun and don’t care. I do extremely better. Stats is pointless and useless to me and always will be.
Ngl, even in comp games like Val and Csgo, I don’t take it serious. Even R6S. I still joke around and play casually even in ranked games 
hi, someone know how to fix che EAAntiCheatService crash?
Have you repaired your game?
I'm afraid not many people know aobut that one specific issue sorry.
yes, repaired, unistalled and reinstalled the eaanticheat
repaired game too
but nothing worked 😦
because ea anti cheat doesn't work at all.it would be nice if dice removed it because it doesn't work and can't catch cheaters. 😄
yeah, i have this problem only on bf2042, other battlefield runs fine
Idk
already did, but nothing worked
The anti cheat I've heard is kernal based so it might be a bit difficult to nuke it.
Sounds like you need to try Answers HQ as suggested in the article 🙂
yeah but in the answers HQ there's no fix to this
Most times when people tell me that I tell them to make a thread on Answers HQ and list all the things they've tried to solve their issue. And then it usually shows that the user has actually not looked or tried that many things 😒
unfortunately, i did everything i finded until now
Bro gamers patience is nil
im kinda glad ish that EA anticheat has replaced easy
cause
i have a flame of hate for easy
and how many times it has kicked me for no reason
at all
"oh look you use RGB lights fuck you"
fucking easy
😶
Alright then............................
I'll turn them off for u
Blue equals more
With mini displays as well 
I've gotten old. My RGB is gone, got tired of it. Even just got the Fractal North XL case for my computer, not even a glass side panel anymore.
Guess I will lack those FPS in season 7
Same.
That's what they said about season 5
Every game isn’t real 
Devs make the game. Means it isn’t real. 
People were wrong because there had to be a season 5, but season 7 isn't real, only the trailer exists and everything else is fake
Don't say this bro
🥹
I mean 😪 it’s not out yet
Gamers always overhype things 
You made this emoji bro?
I saw a video yesterday penguins were passing and people were watching them
What a moment
I did

AI.
Discord
This is great 😂👍
Carb is behind the scenes of penguins in 2042 
Ever since OG DICE started to leave Battlefield, it's been a cursed franchise (which sucks), but trying to get to the bottom of what's going on.
At first glance, the next Battlefield game seems "safe" and "predictable".
BF is better than ever
I really do enjoy the new ones, especially BF2042. Just seems off in general.
There was a bunch of full 128p lobbies last night
Last modern BF was BF4 yes, ever since we didn't get a modern BF game with classes and shit
Well not really
It's just that yesterday was FNB
So what
And people usually play the game during FNB
So the fact there was a lot of people on a Friday night doesn't mean shit, there's always a lot of players during FNB
Honestly modern setting battlefield is amazing for the franchise. BF1 and V is meh.
If you play it the rest of the week it won't be that populated
Whatever you say bud
Dude your smoking too much
I agree, even though BF1 and BFV were really good games imo I really prefer modern settings
Lol I offended you ?
You think you did?
Idk you seem pretty upset
#battlefield-2042 message
Not at all
the game is really popular during FnB because it’s time limited per week. It’s not you average day joe featured mode that you always see.
You don't know right
Just saying game isn't that populated and that FNB are mostly when people tend to play the game in numbers

Time limited event in general I should say gets more love.
You're wrong, it's that populated
Like arkangel events and ect. They get more love due to it being time limited.
Most time limited events had potential but it has been wasted in many cases, like when the Arkangel event was announced I recall a lot of people seeing it has an opportunity to bring 2 new factions but they didn't
He’s right. Other than that. The game is more dead than an average time limited events.
Not on random days outside of FNB and weekend lol, hell I even struggled to find a game of breakthrough yesterday while I'm literally playing on European servers
Not at all he's wrong
Game certainly is more populated than right after launch but player count decreased a lot since a few weeks as they didn't bring any new content for 6 months
I mean 😪 people chase for rewards and want to play different modes in general. Due to it having full xp and match making officially.
I mean I'm playing on European servers and those are the most populated servers if I ain't wrong, and sometimes I even struggle to find matches so no this game is definitely not that populated, still probably the most populated BF game though
Saying the game is dead, then saying oh wait it was populated because of FNB. Just pure comedy man
I can't stop laughing
I'm out
Later
Yeah I agree at least they tried to give us reasons to play it even if it was just skins but idk I'd just prefer more content over limited events lol
Obviously more content in general. Remind you they have to make everything from scratch aka the ground up.
I literally never said it was dead, I didn't say it was populated because of FNB lol. I said FNB brings back a lot of players but just for a few hours
it's not dead, less populated yes because it's the end of a season, it's predictable
Yes more content is necessary, tbh I feel like it's better to cancel support after season 4 if continuing to support it means bringing the minimum quanitity of content required until next game releases
Like sure we got 7 seasons, but for what ?
After 2 years we'll have like 7 new maps and a handful of guns
Don't get me wrong it's cool
But if we could choose I'd prefer them to stop supporting game so they can completely move on to next one
I mean 😪 it allows the devs to add more features and make the game better before they straight up stop supporting it. S4 barely had content to close up shop.
Very battlefield they done so far, the fix up the game heavily, prob revamp and add new gameplay features. With more content before closing up shop officially or early.
If the game stopped support after S4, the game is to dry. Unbalanced asf. Can also make the devs look bad. The community already made them look bad from the start due to its development. If S4 was the last season. People will say o the game closed up and barely have content. O this is how they treat their games, Fix it up and leave. Unbalanced game. Ect
The devs prob have a roadmap for the future of 2042. As of now till end of support or next title drops.
Yeah but that's the problem, there are some features that required 1.5 or even 2 years to get implemented it's crazy, game wasso unfinished and broken that it's hard to know if it's really worth supporting
But yeah I agree
They were literally forced to continue supporting it
Otherwise players would have lost any sense of trust in Dice
And nobody would have bought next game
Gotta look at the overall game health. Is it good enough to say support is done for.
I just wished they would stop over-hyping things like with their 2 maps thing or half the season 7's content coming mid-season
With season 7 game is gonna be in a really decent state to stop supporting it I guess, there's gonna be a season 8 but season 7 is bringing the foundations for Dice to stop having to update it past season 8
I feel like the player base over hyped it more. I am only hype for S7 due weapon feel change. For visual and making it heavy. Other content is basically a bonus for me to keep me engaged with the game.
Sucks that S7 took 6 months but also could’ve been long since next game is in development still. a lot of things happening behind the scenes that we don’t know about.
I see support ending soon also. I feel like they can do a couple seasons and move 2042 devs to the next game. At the same time, I won’t be surprised if they keep 2042 seasons till the next game also.
imagine if they built off the BF4 campaign and had an actual story you could play through
YAY, our internet is back up...so much for being told 4 days for services to resume! 😄
I hate the silly quotes they put on the loading page when getting into a game...it's trying to build some kind of narrative that simply doesn't exist, make sense, and is unnecessary.
i agree
Like, who tf is Oz, and why should we care?
Look at the lore 
Errrrr...nah thanks!
what lore? i want to play the lore. Like we just forget about pak and irish, what happened to them in baku?
recker?
alls i got is this stupid dinosaur key chain
If there was a proper storyline that we could play, maybe I'd give two shits about Oz, the player backgrounds, blah blah. Instead it's just shoved in, hoping that it makes any sense
read the codex
disaster. to have such a big title and then put this shit on a shingle
it explains the lore
gamers dont read we play for the immersion
i can tell
Not been saying much here since I don’t have anything positive to say about EA, my recent departure, and how so many, including my team, are suffering due to the industry sweeping layoffs.
remember having fun searching the maps for the hidden dog tags? like where did that go
It's really got nothing at all to do with the gameplay, so why would I bother digging around in the codex? Rather they just ditched that nonsense tbh
that was yesterday post, I just now saw it
none of the lore has had anything to do with gameplay
they should sell it to another name that will take better care of the game
in any battlefield game
battlefield games are big war sandboxes first, storytelling tools second
lore has to do with the story, which is played through gameplay on the campaign
but they screwed themselves by forgetting it with 42
now we just have a ship in the middle of the ocean during covid with survivors and russia tryna kill us
Lore happens throughout seasons For the game. It’s interesting to look at. But also complex if you didn’t look at it since day 1.
Question: if 2042 released in a complete state with no bugs, would the game be as disliked now as it is?
would be better off
yes because it makes a few changes to the formula and people don't like changes
Bugs will always be in the game. It just lacked QoL stuff on launch day.
remeber playing the alpha and beta and you couldnt get over 40fps. and not having a party mode or voice chat was terrible
The game would have been in a better state feedback wise where people wouldn't be focusing on the bugs and instead be focusing on gameplay issues inherit to the game at the time.
almost certainly no, contrary to what people here and on Reddit say a large percentage of the playerbase disregarded the "hero shooter" aspects but hated the game because it was a mess on launch
Fundamentally it's not a bad game (now), but it's really missing a lot of feel and grittiness, and is a bit sterile. In Oceana it's pretty much a dead game now, even with crossplay, and 2 gamemodes are all that's active. Pity!
if it released today on launch it would be much more better received
i mean you see a lot more silver and gold tabs in games now so im happy for those starting out
If 2042 wasn’t rushed and have a better leadership for the devs. And cut out last gen consoles. The game will be amazing today 🥲 with the changes that happens since day 1.
I just wondered, I’ve only been playing for a week now, but love it a lot, more or less cause I love guns and customizing them.
you would have a very different opinion had that not been the case
as I said the game's launch state was that bad it's enough to make half the playerbase write it off immediately
you should check out gunsmith simulator. might still be on sale
but everyone makes out that specialists are the main issue when that's never been true
Specialist never affected me tbh
Do specialist come out at season launches or just at random?
Issue round specialists is how they're balanced.
With the class system that’s needed for sure for dedicated roles
i will say i like the "T" button fast swap attachements. wish other games went to that
they've stopped adding them since season 5
Oh wow
i miss the original 4 roles. people didnt like the classes which is why in certain modes only 1 person could play as them so you didnt have like 4 sundance or mackay
is anyone else having server issues?
I hope the plus system is in the next title as well. Love it a lot.
the attachment system can stay just remove the ability to switch magazines
YEP!!! I was mid-game and it just dropped out on me, unable to find EA servers. FARK!!!
They should make a specialist that can use thermal goggles
i like it for optics if i need something for longer range
some maps the fight with change from close to farther out "hourglass" etc
they have abundance of thermal optics. paik gets walls and casper gets unlimited motion detection
I just rejoined the game I was on, n am on the other side that's getting smashed...thanks Dice!
Oh ig that’s true
There's load of cheesy shit in this game that needn't have existed.
but imagine if there was cheese
like you go into stadium and theres cheese fries and dogs on the tables
I’d think it’s pretty impressive that a stadium that’s partially covered in sand is still selling food but hey
That’s dedication
games postponed due to storm so we eat for sand delay
They'll kinda keep BF2042 alive until next game arrives, I guess season 8 is gonna be 6 months so it lasts until late 2024 and then they'll start talking about next game and teasing it
yall remember naval supremacy or whatever? with the fast attack boats and jet skis etc. what happened to that
what a braindead take
I genuinely miss that...was a great element to gameplay!
right
Naval just won’t work inside 2042 due to balancing.
Nah they just don't have maps with water...laziness!
next bf needs to have more factions to fight. could give us ukraine, russia, somalia, yemen etc. imagine taking out pirates in the open sea with epic naval battles and then moving to land to fight over a frozen tundra and then to the desert sands
did bf1 have any water combat?
I can see a S8. At most S10 if that. Other than that I agree 100%
somalia
lmaoo
I don’t think so, I could be wrong. Haven’t played it in ages 
Absolutely they did! Torpedo boats, landing craft, battleships, etc
It did?
remember the maps that would flood from the storms or the damns you could break open
like how did 42 miss all the awesomeness we had
Levolution is a BF4 thing. They haven’t brought back that mechanic yet.
youd think these titles would just build off what they had that was succesful instead of cavemanning it and ooga booga some new wheel
I don’t want the next bf to have gore
so bf1 only had 2 driveable water vehicles
There's definitely going to be a season 8 but I dont see them pushing beyond that, would have no interest to do that imo as at that time they'll need more resources including devs on next game
kinda pointless
Do we know what era the next bf is taking place in?
Dice always been experimenting with different things. But also have to work with how the game is also.
Modern
I think it had 3 or 4 but not sure, BF1 isn't known for its naval warfare feature anyway lol
Agreed 👍
prob present day shit
Modern is the best setting
Bruh we already had 2 games on World War and last game is anticipated type of shit, what do you want it to be
its gonna take place in downtown chicago

Works very well for cod and battlefield games in general.
uh present day/modern. like realism
BF1 had really good gameplay with the torpedo boats, you used them a LOT to ninja and back-cap flags
It’s nice cause they’re all actual guns and not made up
facts
Why did you say it was shit then lol
the "lore" these kids want
never said 4 was shit
42 miss the mark
BF1 and V is both land heavy than Naval. last game done naval very well was BF4
i want mortars and ucav back
4 had the fast attack, jet ski, hover boats etc. the underwater submarine battle was nice
Ha my bad
@chilly jacinth @mental delta did you play kaleidoscope pre rework from release? For 2042
It had at least 4 and naval warfare was a good part of BF4
Yes and it was shit
Remember the water level at Charlie point aka middle of the map was way higher compared to now
only map i can remember naval vehicles doing anything is paracel storm
and its just the heavily armed boat
Shanghai had jetskis
I remembered when I was able to swim in that water, now it’s like a puddle.
LAV4's are also amphibious and were super handy
bro dropping c4 from the little bird ontop of a fast attack was soo satisfying
It was more land and air focused still
siege had the boats infront of the big collapsable building. you could do work from those things
Yeah but that can be said for every bf release...the focus is always more on infantry, with air and sea as supporting acts that you can use to influence the battlefield
the damn map had boats too
If boats was in 2042. It won’t have a good lifespan. Will be extremely underpowered.
then when last stand came out or whatever and we had the winter maps with the rail gun and phantom bow
soo nasty
Hey there this is Danny and today....
glorious inconcistent weak spots
nah them guided missiles would def do work to land vehicles especially if you LOS correctly and they dont see u
that used to be the case. idk why 42 went away from that. 4 you knew the weak spots on the tanks was the rear and turret
It's the exact same in 2042
lies these vics eat rockets
Do you guys prefer the Oscar gun animations from base game or the newer ones from an animator that I do not know who it is because I don't know if they post their work
(Oscar also worked on a lot of major guns in bfv)
dunno dont care
I think I look into it too much
If you mean the new firing animations, I like how the new ones look.
Cause I can feel a different feeling
the recoil in this game for weapons is really inaccurate
*almost every game
it feels inaccurate cause theres spread
Oscar who was a person who worked on bfv and 2042 base guns left dice after S1 and I wan know if anyone can notice the difference of em
another clip for the "rao is actually good you're just bad" folder
Cause personally I can feel it
tarkov, RON? etc do a good job with the guns
I prefer Oscar's animations personally. Could defintely tell between animations going from S1 to 2
Names one game. (That also has inaccurate recoil)
No game really depicts recoil perfectly
gave you two my guy cant read
alot of games depict recoil as uncontrollable
And no player should actual want a real depiction of recoil.
facts its soo annoying
skill gap?
God, one of these people
The new ones are good but you can def tell that their more weighty to the more shakey Oscar ones
Squad recoil is so inaccurate for being a realistic shooter
give that game some time itll take over battlefield for those that like big scale warfare
No it won't lol
Also random thing caus I like talking about insecure things, I think I remember that a dice animator on art station showed that he worked on the pp29, vcar and the 1942 portal bolt actions
I didn’t know shooter games needs to have the most realistic recoil.
some time
Give it another decade guys
ehh it's been at about where it's always been
Swat 4>
it lacks the progression and stats that lore players want lol
hmm actually its been increasing
but its still a dope game
but its still not alot of players
if RON gets pvp that will take flight also
Good game yes, will have a large consistent player base, no.
cringe
It's too hardcore in many aspects to keep player interest.
Would that go against the hardcore 100iq ai gameplay
42 just lost its edge. in 3-4 you used to have to grind to get 30+ kills in a game. 42 you can easily go off
Milsim player base is really small in general
nah you still have the AI in the maps also. makes it more dynamic
Ah
3/4 were slower, so less kills is an obvious factor. I do hope the next BF game steps back the speed of gameplay.
imagine 2 teams tryna rescue hostages while fighting each other and the ai lol
Also milsim games are basically just indie games so they're more expensive to get into compared to like battlefield and bla
(Except cod cause they refuse to drop their games from over 10 years to under 30 dollars)
Battlefield has always been easy.
some people don't like walking around for 5 minutes and then dying to one bullet they never heard or saw coming and having to sit in the respawn queue to do it over and over again
42 has leaned a little more towards CoD for that instant gratification of fast kills, rather than earning them in previous titles.
I disagree.
ptfo isnt a thing in 42. its just chaos lol
There is plenty of teamplay, lots of players simply chose to not play as a team/squad.
if they went back to just the 4 classes it would make people have to actually work together and do their roles
I'd say it does work
There are literally 4 classes in 2042
Teamplay used to be much better, it's super-rare to find even a squad that wants to work together. When you have one and people play their roles, you can hulk-smash the enemy
Although stuff like universal weapons ruins a little of it
Caus letting supports having snipers is nooooo
but they have specialists that ruin it
Ruin it how, explain
bf5 medic has the best sniper btw
I would go back to limiting weapons for different classes, the current system just encourages lone-wolfing
only revive if youre the medic, angle gives ammo and can call in crate. just keep it to a support guy with 1 box
IMO, universal weapons ruins it far more than any effect of specialists
I'd say they should lock out 1 class of weapons for every class
Assault: NO LMG (because of their extra ammo trait on ARs)
Engineer: NO SMG
Support: NO SNIPERS
Recon: NO ARs
Specialists were never the problem imo. How specialists were set up at launch was the problem. That and some gadgets being very hard to balance /having too much effect on level design/traversal (wingsuit/grapple hook )
but the fact that i can run "support" and snipe somewhere with infinite ammo all match is stupid cheese
Also maybe buff the weapon specialists traits for the classes like faster reload with LMGs on engineer and better hipfire on support smg
Armor needs to go for next game too.
nah get rid of the traits
the fact that i can run casper and have zero weapon sway and a motion detector at all times is easy
Maybe replace the weapon sway with faster scope in?
maybe longer drone range
quickscoping incoming
lol
That is like Boris's shit trait
We don't talk about the 4 shot spotter turret
Game needs more traits if anything. Would be great for them to be able to add new class traits in new updates.
Things like extra mags, extra ordinance, extra underwater breath capacity, extra grenade, faster sprint, take less fall damage...etc.
But let you chose your speciality
or make it where you can buy/select traits you want
Shhhhh ur gonna upset the hardcore players from reddit
Speaking of an ideal game, not just 2042
like HZ had when you can use your currency for certain traits
no but say faster movement/reload for assault. would benefit the rng style players. maybe no flinch or incoming suppresion for support or snipers etc
They should all be passives, not anything that gives you an advantage in skill based gameplay.
theres no skill based gameplay in 42
You are literally Un talkable to
What the fuck is even happening…
SBMM would need to be added then if you want skilled play
Good thing battlefield don’t have skill based matchmaking. It’s just a fun casual game.
exactly
SBMM ruins games
Unless it a actual competitive game like Val
I think in this context “skilled gameplay” is in reference to a person’s own talents and ability to play the game well
oh skill gap
Battlefield is always revolving around skill gaps 
I'd say BETTER class traits would be like
Assault: keep the ammo and also faster gadget equip time
Support: a extra quicker run to weapon time than now, plus the better hip accuracy
Engineer: faster lmg reloads on top of the less recoil
Recon: quicker scoping and faster bullet chaimbering
be nice to have a feature to lean or pie. would help with clearing corners before blow through
Giving recon even more advantages...they've got it pretty good dude
As someone who abused lean in bf5 this game does not need it.
max payne lol
lmao
I only have every smg t1'd 
TOM: Ever since OG DICE started to leave Battlefield, it's been a cursed franchise (which sucks), but trying to get to the bottom of what's going on.
At first glance, the next Battlefield game seems "safe" and "predictable".
Yeah. Sounds like they are going to a back to basics approach and playing it extremely safe
abuse
you leaned
there is no "lean abuse" you just lean
It was bs in that it made your hitbox fucking tiny.
When using it properly.
Pretty much only your gun will stick out.
sounds pretty fixable and doesnt warrant the removal of leaning
They never bothered to fix it.
It's better off without.
leaning in practice is basically just always used as a hitbox manipulator
Contextual lean/peak would be nice, but manual is not needed imo
Excuse me, but I have photos of a major-sized concept list I created in my Notes app. They’re all in photos. Where can I post those photos?
Also, leaning is realistic in my opinion.
realism doesnt matter
Damn, dude said leaning is realistic lol
leaning in practice is used as a way to lean.
I have never seen someone "abuse lean". This problem is, if not overblown, unfathomably niche
Contextual leaning was buggy as fuck.
Checks reality... Yup can confirm leaning is realistic
Manual was a big step up and loads of fun but it got boring when everyone resorted to it.
and crouching in practice is used as a way to crouch.
nobody has ever abused crouching to manipulate hitboxes in any game ever
im talking about BF dummy
Ba’al Feel
Maybe next game will have it, but I doubt it's addition will be high on a list of priorities.
i hope not
if the game cant hit the movement abilities of BF1 at least then I'll be concerned.
Not surprised, just concerned
I never thought movement was all that good in bf1.
It had cool actions (like Bayonette charging) , but never had it's movement high on my list of things it did well.
its nothing special, pretty basic compared to V.
Which is why if they cannot hit that then I'd be concerned
They just need to have nice first and 3rd person animations, and to slow the game down. No tac sprint,or need for it. Map design will factor a lot in here.
Hopefully they have learned from 2042 that players mostly don't want large spread out maps.
Im down for a couple large spread out maps, those maps just need the amount of vehicles required to do that
i'm kinda wish they'd keep tac sprint. it's not really a bad mechanic
I feel like regardless of map design the main reason silk road works and hour glass doesnt is that one has a million motorcycles everywhere
hopefully it'd be unnecessary, but there's still points where you do have to run and being able to run a little bit faster at the cost of not being able to shoot as fast is a nice trade-off mechanic
On paper that works, the problem is using tac sprint in areas where you dont have to run a really long distance. BBR is trying some work around for that Im curious to see how it plays out
Super sprint is cool.
what's wrong with using tac sprint in areas where you don't have to run a long distance? you run faster, but if an enemy gets the drop on you you're probably dead. that's the trade off you made when deciding to tac sprint
how is you using it badly a problem
It doesn't exactly take away anything and the draw backs are good enough.
Faster movement impacts gunplay and map traversal. It also affects the speed of all other assets in the game and damage output. From tank movement, heli speed to player/vehicle damage output.
Faster movement speed also affects networking and hit reg.
at that point all the mechanic does is speed up the game
Speed isn't bad.
I do agree it has altered peoples perception of the pacing of the game.
But I don't believe it's all in all that bad.
its not altered perception of the games pace, its altered the games pace
Leaning in any game isn’t not a priority. It’s a nice mechanic. Battlefield isn’t a need of having that mechanic.
is it actually faster than any previous games though
Are you seriously saying that the difference between 10 player speed and 11 player speed is the difference between 45 tick servers and 60 tick servers?
it's not that significant of a speed boost
You run as fast as a support who's sprinting regularly with the SPRNT perk.
It also over complicated gunplay, as you now have 2 factors designers need to account for when designing new weapons. Sprint to fire recovery and tac sprint to fire recovery
I think SMK did a video on soldier speeds.
And I believe he found that it tied with bf3 and 4.
Bf1 and bf5 were surprisingly the slowest.
what a surprise
tac running in 42 is the same as running in 4?
Super sprint is the same speed as a soldier with SPRNT from bf3 and bf4.
Yeah I feel that's it really ARc.
what the fuck
I don't think it's that complicated. There's tac sprint -> ready then ready -> aiming. I don't think there's a direct transition from tac sprint -> aiming in the game, it just looks that way in-game
Mostly round the map designed accomadated around it too.
I'm not saying the speed is the issue. They could just remove tac sprint and make regular sprint tac sprints speed to lessen mechanical complexity.
To make everything easier to work with on the development side
how do you know how easy it is to work with on the development side?
Cos I work in game dev
(also common sense)
at dice?
