[pine roost]

which of the guns so far would you say has the most visual recoil? I've tried a couple out and none seem too extreme at the moment

[royal swan]

Then you're ass.

[wide hill]

thanks

[royal swan]

Lmgs seem to have high visual recoil

[wheat nest]

Throwing kifes op?

[atomic egret]

I'm @ work, How is the new map?

[pine roost]

Oh yeah, they’ve got a lot of sudden horizontal flick

[royal swan]

Good

[atomic egret]

Nice!

[wheat nest]

Im switching to bf5. Such a trash "season"

[wide hill]

ok

[wicked shell]

The idea is that we have a base archetype(s) per weapon type/category, then fine-tune per weapon. But if a combination of weapon/sight doesn't interact well for whatever reason, we can "override" that combination. Sometimes a value being too high by 0,05 can have strong compounded effects, especially when dealing with angles and degrees. And of course balance is always taken into account, but it's not the main goal with this

[royal swan]

Go ahead ain't nobody stopping you

[velvet sand]

Is the bipod supposed to reduce the visual recoil?

Because based on videos I've seen so far it doesn't : /

[robust bane]

Everytime a building is destroyed on haven my Xbox series x crashes fully to a restart. 😭

[patent pivot]

the m39 EMR

[robust bane]

I can’t play the new map

[royal swan]

Yeah Xbox is having issues

[patent pivot]

recoil is too much

[robust bane]

😭

[royal swan]

Glad I didn't get this game on Xbox

[atomic egret]

Bye Felicia...

[velvet sand]

that's both a really bad and absolutely hilarious issue. this is supposedly the kinda stuff that certification is designed to catch but oh well.

[robust bane]

It’s funny but rip

[wheat nest]

It def isnt

[robust bane]

It definitely is

[wheat nest]

3 hour session no issues

[robust bane]

I’m on Xbox series x and I can’t finish the new map

I’ve got videos

[fossil trench]

I hate dripfeed

[royal swan]

We all do

It's going to suck ass

[robust bane]

I get about half way through and then my game freezes for about 1 to 2 minutes and then black screen and console turns off

[wheat nest]

We cant do anything about it

[robust bane]

😂

You don’t say

[velvet sand]

but complaining here to vent or in the hopes some dice devs see it doesn't hurt anything either. sometimes you just gotta vent a bit (and to share info in case anyone else is experiencing the same probs and thinks it's just them)

[robust bane]

Exactly

I’m just trying to bring awareness to the issues I’m experiencing and seeing if anyone else is experiencing them on Xbox series x

[lavish maple]

Can you guys (PC) get into the lobby?

[chilly jacinth]

yes

[velvet sand]

oh man, pls let us skip the video for buying premium in subsequent seasons. no clue why that animation needs to be so weirdly aggressively compressed and unskippable

[wheat nest]

Have you tried rebooting you device?

[patent path]

because it's for GAMERS

ULTRA

[robust bane]

I haven’t but I can give it a try

[patent path]

EXTREME

[velvet sand]

TO THE MAX

[patent path]

[velvet sand]

[frank tartan]

yeah i hope they get it fixed soon

[royal swan]

Because I want to know and feel that I wasted 20-10 bucks on a video game battlepass

[frank tartan]

i havent seen or heard of it affecting battlefield players so thats good tho

[royal swan]

Because we use a different anti cheat

We used to use easy anti cheat

[kindred flint]

One that also doesn't work?

[velvet sand]

haven't spent real money since launch, baby. I still can't believe devs just give out enough cash shop currency to buy the next BP and have boins left over

[royal swan]

I have after they released the ultimate version of premium

[velvet sand]

lol, one of the sundance skins in the BP looks like her Organic Explosive skin just with a mask now.

[patent path]

I'm getting the ultimate next week for that 20 tier skips

i'm lazy

[wheat nest]

Sad

[patent path]

it's like 15$ it's not 30$ like the blackcell battlepass from cod

(I also have the blackcell pass)

[kindred flint]

When was the last time you played before s7?

[royal trail]

you will only get bored with the season faster then, there will be more than enough time to get to 100

[patent path]

when I finished season 6's bp

[royal trail]

lol

[patent path]

but it also comes with skinzz

[velvet sand]

did they speed up BP progression again, or is it still the molasses in winter pace of S6?

[opal compass]

a week after s6 launched then

[patent path]

[chilly jacinth]

it seems to be the pre s6 speed

[kindred flint]

so was this before or after Dec 25th?

[patent path]

I think it was 2 months ago? I don't play a lot of 2042

[velvet sand]

this is very, very, very, very welcome to hear. I miss getting like 8 ranks from the first match on a fresh season and not feeling like I have to play more than I want to to hit rank 100 with Premiums.

[kindred flint]

Good...I had you beat on not starting the game

[candid blade]

Didn't take long for the Nightbird idiots to realize what a farm fest Haven is xD

No AA tank, great decision DICE

[lone void]

the SWS battle pass skin at tier 55 has a QR code on the scope that says "hello :)" when you scan it

that's adorable

[opal compass]

should have been rick roll

[stone wharf]

1942 Hardcore server is up if anyone is interested

[wheat nest]

Bye 2042. Hello bfV

[chilly jacinth]

enjoy the cheaters

[wheat nest]

Console😆

[pine roost]

So first impressions, while I’d rather have perfectly clear sights with no shake, what we have seems to strike a good balance

[chilly jacinth]

enjoy the no cheaters

[patent path]

no players too

[pine roost]

Yooo tanks feel SO much better

[plucky chasm]

have they fixed it

the BP

[dusk falcon]

fuck me the soundtrack sounds so fucking good

[solid imp]

yeah I closed/reopened the game and it's working now

[plucky chasm]

ok good

[solid imp]

and my issue with the ak24 skin seems to have gone with it

[plucky chasm]

i was at gym power went out so time to play at home

[solid imp]

nice excuse to leave the gym early 😉

[pine roost]

That’s a huge buff

Feels like bf4 almost

So that’s also an indirect buff to the wildcat

[plucky chasm]

yes 😉 i shouted fuck when it went out

only 2 people in there tho so wasnt embarassing

[inner ice]

guys where do you get to play with XFAD-4 DRAUGR?

[pine roost]

It’s not in game yet

Coming in a later patch

[pine roost]

Damn yeah, strange, but nice

[velvet sand]

coming patch 7.2, supposedly in may

[inner ice]

oh gotcha ty ty!

[pine roost]

So what’s this circle icon meant to be on the vehicle screen

[wide shore]

There an issue with boin purchases rn?

[chilly jacinth]

Dunno

[ionic gale]

Ta, mate. Very interisting insight!

[limpid pond]

They Fox the update yet?

Fix?

[oak sedge]

Lol looking through the battle pass and they're teasing 2142 stuff AGAIN

They do this every single time in these modern/near future games

and it never amounts to anything 😭

[pine roost]

I’d say the worst recoil I’ve seen so far was the avancys with the holo, nothing else really feels too egregious

[wide shore]

Nvm my friend is just an idiot

[hardy crest]

Update size ? On pc ?

[loud kraken]

yo i heard that bf2042 has some kind of anti cheat which is begin exploited atm and isn't safe to play games with those anti cheat so i was wondering does 2042 have it and is it safe to play or what?

[upper condor]

I think 2042 is safe to play. EAC said that the issue is not on themselves but from Apex

[prisma wraith]

RM68 orM5A3

[pine roost]

And 2042 doesn’t even use eac

[upper condor]

2042 does use EAC

[bleak scaffold]

Is the new update of dice serious?

[pine roost]

It doesn’t

It uses ea’s own, not easy

[velvet sand]

naw, it's an early April Fool's. They'll be deleting the game off your machine soon, have faith, fam.

[bleak scaffold]

uff

[upper condor]

Oh yeah I forgot that they changed the anticheat

[prisma wraith]

RM68 orM5A3

[drowsy shuttle]

Neither. Ghostmaker r10

[bleak scaffold]

So its time to Install Battlefield 4 again. Fuck Dice Fuck EA fuck Battlefield 2042 Ridiculous company

[velvet sand]

oh the irony

[arctic grove]

I have a huge question and I still to this day don't know why I can't find a good explanation for it

Why the F*CK are the controls for the helis as bad as they are? Why do my nightbird's aim controls constantly try go revert to some "middle" when I aim????

What is this shit

[wide shore]

But… BF4 is… It’s published by… YK what, have fun man

[stable sail]

Heli controls are the best they've ever been idk what you're talking about lol

[wide shore]

You got flight assist on?

[raw matrix]

Is the stealth bomber out?

[stable sail]

Probably flight assist, yeah actually.

[wide shore]

No. Drip feed

[raw matrix]

That's so annoying

[wide shore]

I know bro

[arctic grove]

Nah it's been off, first thing I did when I hopped on S1

[wide shore]

Idk then. I don’t really fly in this game lol

[arctic grove]

That's just for hovering, it says

When you point down and around to aim in the helis and try to keep it there it's like grabbing jelly ffs

It was so easy and fun but in this it's painful and infuriating

[pine roost]

/\

have fun not being able to disable it

the one thing I've been fighting for for 3 years now

[stable sail]

Ah so it doesn't have anything to do with the flight model but more with when you're trying to point straight down?

Cuz flight model is fuego

[arctic grove]

Then you've got some chucklefuck on pc owning the skies and saying shit like "get out of my airspace" (what?)

[arctic grove]

Down, up, etc

[stable sail]

db evolution.... lmaoooo

[pine roost]

the actual physics behind flight feel great in this, it's just flight assist butchers all of it

[arctic grove]

Essentially just keeping the crosshair on a target

It fights you the entire time

It wants to go back to straight hover, which is what helis DO, but it tries so HARD

It's like playing tug of war to aim

[pine roost]

remember the good ol days where you used to be able to do this

[pine roost]

but yeah, this is something they know about, just refuse to fix. If you go and play the attack heli you'll find they somehow managed to fix it on that. Just not anything else

[arctic grove]

Just now noticing your name and bio is all about this garbage lmao

I'll try to hop in it when I can

They had it so right, but this new team is full of a bunch of actual braindead donkeys

[dawn cedar]

someone has not tried to fly on haven lmfao

[dawn cedar]

lockons every 3 seconds, and 2-3 lizzles non stop

theres also a c-ram in uncap

[arctic grove]

Didn't matter to a guy in my lobby

I'd drop his tag if I'm allowed

[pine roost]

ooo, wildcat turret feels juicy now

[arctic grove]

Two games in a row as his opponent, he went over 40 and 1-2 in the nightbird

On Haven

[pine roost]

so glad they went through with that change to accel

[dawn cedar]

sounds like a team issue, every time i fly im always constantly locked on / designated and swarmed with lizzles, considering cover is non existent

unless you try to sneak behind the dunes

[mighty holly]

[arctic grove]

I'm sure there were plenty trying to kill him

Soflams, iglas, etc

[dawn cedar]

it also feels like they made EMP effect stronger

[cerulean forge]

dice pls don’t listen to shit lords and revert the recoil it’s better

[vocal tusk]

I quite like the new map. D flag is my only issue. Its WAY too small

[pine roost]

Tbf it hardly makes a difference

[dense pier]

anyone got a link to the patchnotes

[pine roost]

There’s been like, one setup that feels slightly bad

[pine roost]

#game-news

Tanks should have felt like this from day one

[vocal tusk]

14 week season...and XP per point on the BP starting again at 6500XP is kinda shitty. This season is 5 weeks shorter than season 6..but has the same XP throttling in action.

[coarse elbow]

The new map doesn't suck ass and the recoil changes aren't so bad? I'm surprised.

[chilly jacinth]

are you sure?

it feels faster than s6 to me

[coarse elbow]

It's a lot faster than season 6

Just the missions give the old points now so 6 for the final 3

[royal swan]

@quaint vector sorry for the ping but this you in jackfrags video

[chilly jacinth]

rip

[gray summit]

lmao

[vocal tusk]

What? lol

[chilly jacinth]

english pls

[drowsy tide]

the ak and cz feel kinda nice

[vocal tusk]

CZ will probs be OP with the 3 extended/drum mags

I havent got them yet

[drowsy tide]

it has a surprising bit of range on it

[dense pier]

so is there still glint on tv 2x?

[vocal tusk]

No scopes under 6X have glint now AFAIK

[drowsy tide]

i was able to beam some people that werent moving at mid ish ranges

the cz feels a lot like a bf4 carbine than a smg to me

[vocal tusk]

Some of the SMGs feel the same as that to me, yeah

Like the AKS now

[drowsy tide]

the AK5C feels a little bouncier than the avarage AR

[vocal tusk]

Ive not used it yet TBH. cant comment on it just yet. Only played 2 games on break with the CZ

[drowsy tide]

fair fair

im not sure if the velocity on it is on the low end but its definitely a gun that'll take some getting used to

but that might just be a matter of the new recoil system

[pine roost]

Oh my, the pp does shake a lot now

[drowsy tide]

i like the overall feel of the gunplay tho

[vocal tusk]

Perhaps you should visit a doctor

[velvet sand]

you should see a doctor about that

[vocal tusk]

🤣

[pine roost]

Oh

That sounds bad

[velvet sand]

hoho, the same unoriginal joke is funny twice

[wooden tangle]

I bought fast track for 25$. (Just for 20 tier skip)
Now I saw the new pack available on Steam and EA app (Season 7 Battle Pass Ultimate Pack)
It give you 20 tier skip with Irish,M5A3,Pondhawk skin and a weapon charm.
It cost only 14$. (A lot cheaper and get more skins.)

[vocal tusk]

So nice, we post it twice

[royal swan]

OOOH brokenmachine is in the same lobby and skill issues windowmantv. 2 YouTubers and 1 discord mod in the same match by chance.

[quaint vector]

Yessir..

[quaint vector]

I killed TBM too

[royal swan]

Lmao the odds you got them in the same lobby is beyond me

[quaint vector]

Also Westie was there

[royal swan]

Bruh

[quaint vector]

• JackFrags
• TBM
• Westie

[strong snow]

They have to

[velvet sand]

Assume you're not in the US? Because that sounds like issues with regional pricing more than anything else. That bundle is $20 in the US EA store and $20 in game in the US.

[vocal tusk]

Same for me. Both are the same thing to me

[arctic grove]

Unknown people to me

[royal swan]

Popular bf YouTubers

[arctic grove]

Are they good?

[royal swan]

And windowman is a mod

[arctic grove]

Ohhhhh I should get into BF gameplay and players more, I miss the franchise

[wooden tangle]

Yes I live in Thailand. The Fast Track cost 890 THB ~ 25 USD and the Ultimate Pack cost 540 THB ~ 14 USD.

[patent path]

the thousand petal coalition is evil, right?

[arctic grove]

BF2042 scared me away

[chilly jacinth]

maybe

depends on what side youre on

[silk surge]

The soundtrack for the new map is fucking insane

the DUN DUN DUNDUNDUN DUN

[patent path]

the right side of history of course

[harsh sluice]

any of the new guns good?

[chilly jacinth]

new guns are always good

[spare quest]

ofc not, new guns always suck as everyone knows

[patent path]

yeah do NOT use the new guns

[spare quest]

[patent path]

[velvet sand]

that sucks. contact support and hope they can refund you the bundle you purchased so you can buy the cheaper one : (

[patent path]

would be nice if sundance got their anti armor nade back

[stone cradle]

They have no obligation to

[velvet sand]

obligation? No. But practically they have to if they don't want sentiment for the next BF to be subterranian after how badly things went with 2042.

[stone cradle]

People keep on saying they should abandon the game. They abandoned BFV and people complained.

[chilly jacinth]

i love losing with more than 700 ticket difference

very enjoyable

[velvet sand]

people will say anything and everything, doesn't mean "people" are right or worth listening to

[stone cradle]

So it's much easier for RU side to win?

[patent path]

why you should never listen to the community

[chilly jacinth]

Ru side is basically default win

[stone cradle]

[mighty holly]

I miss the potential future for bfv

[chilly jacinth]

basically a map designed for bt only

and probably decent for tdm

[stone cradle]

That's strange because redacted was the complete opposite

[loud kraken]

game not openning up for anyone else? just on loading screen after you start it

[chilly jacinth]

lmao

Jake

always malding

[patent path]

people bitching about snipers doing exactly what they are supposed to do is wild

[dusk falcon]

i miss redacted conquest so much man

how am i gonna level up now

[remote kiln]

now you need to kill people

[patent path]

play the new map, it's small

plenty of people to kill/die to

[stone cradle]

Reminds me of people fuming that basically everyone with spgs in wot camp(they're literally useless if they don't)

[dusk falcon]

no more blasco assist xp farm

so sad

[stone cradle]

Now you need to actually put effort into playing

[pine roost]

I did genuinely really enjoy redacted conquest so I'm also sad to see it gone

[velvet sand]

at least Redacted is good on CQ, the map is so busted on BT (like most maps lol)

curious how the new map will be on BT

[stone cradle]

Still sad that we'll never get 128 maps ever again after flashpoint

[velvet sand]

Sad, but at least the quality should be slightly better since 128p was too much for them. I'll take that as the less-bad of the two options.

[stone cradle]

I liked the S3 map and exposure

Flashpoint was not bad either

[stable sail]

Exposure is fire

[plucky chasm]

whaat bf4 gun at level 19 BP fuck sake

[stone cradle]

But yeah the launch maps didn't feel well designed with 128 at all

We have 16 weeks, plenty of time

[kindred flint]

Flashpoint 128 was an epic cluster of imbalance

[stone cradle]

That's what made it fun

[plucky chasm]

i cant access the last one can i

i missed some guns

[stable sail]

you can unlock the guns you missed

[wide shore]

Wish it was on fire cause it sucks

[vocal tusk]

Mission points are back to 49 per week also, yeah.

[stable sail]

just go to collections and see what you gotta do

[kindred flint]

7 min conquest rounds let's goooo

[plucky chasm]

okay thanks

[stable sail]

Sounds like a you problem lol

Both on CQ64 and 128 it plays so well

[plucky chasm]

i forgot u can

[wide shore]

Oh it certainly is. I know I’m in the minority in hating it.

[sour meadow]

do shield kills count towards the melee kills

[wide shore]

Yes

[sour meadow]

fuckin hooray

[plucky chasm]

damn this map is sweatry

sweaty

[stable sail]

you know what I can't wait for?

Dragon's Dogma 2

[kind frigate]

Algum brasileiro aqui

[stable sail]

this season stood no chance lol

[stone cradle]

The game that's smaller in size than the battlefront collection

[stable sail]

wym

[plucky chasm]

same looks awesome finally good single player game

[stone cradle]

Battlefront collection(ports of 2004 games) is as large as dg2

[wide shore]

Good single player games drop constantly

It’s not really much of a “finally” moment.

[velvet sand]

so like, a whole ass different genre with nothing in common with BF? lol

[frank tartan]

dragons dogma 2

[plucky chasm]

not really

elden ring probs last good one

[stable sail]

I mean... Battlefront 2's solo campaign is like 6 hours

[stone cradle]

I want to play but I feel drained from only 3 hours of sleep

I'd probably be a hindrance to my teammates

[stone cradle]

I'm talking about the old one

[stable sail]

Yeah the original

[stone cradle]

The game was originally 10GB together with battlefront 1

Now it's 72

[loud kraken]

Anyone else game is not loading after clicking dismiss? Just a inf loading thingy

[stone cradle]

New smg?

[robust vapor]

YES

[stone cradle]

You're making faster progress than way

[robust vapor]

sory caps

found out my ideal set up for the scorpion

[plucky chasm]

shame they messed that up woulda been a good buy

[stone cradle]

Yeah, they even stole modders work and passed it off as their own

[plucky chasm]

thats messed up

[stone cradle]

It will probably die in players in like 2 weeks. There's only like 500 people on that now on steam

[tacit sorrel]

Technically it’s not owned by the modder

[ivory canopy]

Wouldn't it be nice if they showed mastery progress on guns while in-game?

[velvet sand]

doesn't matter. stealing modder work without crediting the modder is super unprofessional and bad manners

[chilly jacinth]

You can see it ingame

[velvet sand]

You can see it. go to collections menu and check the weapon.

[ivory canopy]

I meant during a match

[chilly jacinth]

Yes

[velvet sand]

You can during a match.

Go to your collections menu and check the weapon.

[plucky chasm]

Hopefully EA one gets players again then

[ivory canopy]

I'll need to look again because I can't recall seeing it.

[cold beacon]

Guys, are the servers down or smth?

[stone cradle]

I'm pretty sure you can access the full collections menu in-game

[plucky chasm]

i like the EA one

[tacit sorrel]

Clearly but they didn’t steal anything

[cold beacon]

My game ain't working

[stone cradle]

Deleta game. Does he mean Delta Squad?

[velvet sand]

but they did. the modder did the work, their work was coppied without crediting. if you wanna be a pedant about "Stealing" then go for it, but nobody will care about silly pedantry

[ivory canopy]

I was thinking like a meter a la what you'd see in BF3 if you had any unlocks yet to get (in the lower right hand corner under the ammo count while you're spawned)

[stone cradle]

Modder did the hard work of getting dlc from Xbox and PS working on PC. Aspyr just took his code and didn't credit him. Then when they got backlash they said they did it accidentally

[tacit sorrel]

They still don’t own it is what I’m getting at you can’t steal something that is already owned by the ip

[stone cradle]

They didn't even steal right, it's broken in the collection lol

[robust vapor]

new smg pog but this is before I get my ideal setup

jumpy af

[velvet sand]

that AI revive made me sad

I always get sad when I get baited into reviving AI : (

[robust vapor]

AI revive is good wym

free meatshield

[stone cradle]

Is this with cc rounds?

[robust vapor]

standard issue

[stone cradle]

this gun is going to be meta

[chilly jacinth]

The amount of times ive gotten stuck with only having a spawn flag today

Im malding

[tacit sorrel]

They should’ve added another map

[robust vapor]

drum mag is pog tho

at least i won't have to keep reloading

• Angel is great on the new map

[tacit sorrel]

Angel is underrated supply crate is rly good

[robust vapor]

inb4 the crate drops on your head

[spare quest]

I can't host any portal server what is this shit

[mighty holly]

skill issues mate

[spare quest]

[ebon pilot]

so much head peeking on this new map

honestly it's useful to just run around as Crawford with RPGs just to nuke buildings off the face of the earth

[limpid pond]

Tbh I don't know about you but a building only map that's small like that kinda sounded like a head glitch fest from the start

So what they broke this time?

[torpid wadi]

Can’t wait to harass my friend

[atomic egret]

Been like that since Day 1...

[merry vigil]

you made a list of which vehicles are on which map, you keep changing everything. do your job properly!

[stone cradle]

Good to hear

[limpid pond]

Did they fix the battle pass glitch and the new weapon glitch?

[chilly jacinth]

its been working for me all day

[limpid pond]

It was broken where if you entered a match the whole battle pass would disappear as if you're waiting for it to come out

And it wouldn't even let you equip new weapons this morning

[chilly jacinth]

should be working now atleast

[plush echo]

I don't mind the rare skins being basic recolors and the like but some of the "epic" skins look pretty phoned in lol

[stone cradle]

Falck skin is like this too

One on this pass

[velvet sand]

And Zain I think.

[stone cradle]

Zain gets a proper skin at the last tier I'm pretty sure

[vocal tusk]

There are dozens of examples like this across every pass

[stable sail]

Zain gets another lvl100 skin lol

[patent path]

well if it's any consolation it's only like 10$ for the bp

[velvet sand]

I'm trying not to be too negative before actually getting in to play, but I'm getting big WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE vibes from this season.

[velvet sand]

$0 if you use Boins

[stone cradle]

I mean the regular BP can be paid through boins too so that's nice

I will join you

[robust vapor]

And then unlock AK5C and then repeat the T1 process

Mfw it's more tiring to play this game

[wide hill]

https://i.imgur.com/QMGuuJ8.png ah yes, not even started and bro is already fighting

[sharp swift]

listening to Through The Fire And Flames while playing medic is a mood

[vocal tusk]

The made Spectator mode actually usable, but it wasnt in patch notes.

You can now spawn directly from spectating, exactly like in BFV

[drowsy shuttle]

in AoW?

[vocal tusk]

No

[drowsy shuttle]

ah

[vocal tusk]

But this was the last blocker for it being usable there

[robust vapor]

Spawn on BSoD's head

[patent pivot]

anybody think this map is kind of small-ish? Is it comparable to something like... one karkand map

or the size of Epicenter

[stable sail]

you know that left right passage of Karkand?

mix that with Arica Harbor

[patent pivot]

which name specifically

[stable sail]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefield/images/2/2b/BF2_Strike_at_Karkand_64.png/revision/latest?cb=20220916032300

It's basically less width than the top left to right

If you're looking for Karkand, you're not going to find it in Haven

[patent pivot]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefield/images/a/a9/StrikeAtKarkand64.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120315002557

from bf3

so like

[stable sail]

Oh that's not real Karkand

[patent pivot]

the size of that?

im gonna guess you think bf3 version sucks

[stable sail]

It is indeed inferior to the BF2 version

[patent pivot]

whats cut off from 3?

im trying to compare

[stable sail]

You've played Arica Harbor in BF2042 right

[patent pivot]

yeah

[stable sail]

Imagine that with no mountain and 1 more level of buildings

Also flat

[mental delta]

How is season 7 so far ?

[remote kiln]

SAK in battlefield 3 has a tightened map layout and the objectives are brought closer together

[arctic grove]

Anyone experiencing lag and crashing on new map? I'm on Xbox

[patent pivot]

uhhh

Maybe?

im not exactly there

[mental delta]

I read on Twitter that many players faced multiple problems

[remote kiln]

they've mostly been fixed

[velvet sand]

crashing is a thing on xbox apparently, you're not a lone.

[royal trail]

battlepass seem to work as intended for me now, earlier i couldnt get progress and the smal exp boost wasnt included, they both work for me now

[mental delta]

In 1 day ?

[arctic grove]

Damn that sucks

[patent pivot]

im not 100% seeing the picture

[arctic grove]

Hopefully it gets fixed quick

[remote kiln]

yes

[stable sail]

It's basically like twice the size of the Arica Harbor city portion of the map

Just flat

[wide hill]

si

[mental delta]

Good

[patent pivot]

so its not remotely the same as BF3 karkand

[velvet sand]

ye, I'm shocked that first party allowed even a major publisher to ship a patch that has the chance of hard-crashing the whole-ass machine lol. so much for certification, all the pre-cert stuff to speed up the process clearly has some issues.

[stable sail]

Nope

[patent pivot]

but

which one is larger?

2042 map or bf3

[vocal tusk]

This map isnt flat, its just dense

[remote kiln]

2042

[stable sail]

It's pretty flat

[mental delta]

No BF2042 maps look like previous BF games maps no matter what Dice says, with season 5 map many people said it would look like Zavod but it didn't

There's nothing wrong about that

[patent pivot]

we're comparing the new mao to bf3 karkand version

not as a whole

[arctic grove]

Yeah it's pretty crazy that companies don't realise this stuff/release stuff in this state anyway

Like the new Battlefront collection

[mental delta]

But I don't get how some people can try to compare previous BF games map design with... whatever map design we got in BF2042 lol

[patent pivot]

you think thats worse than GTA definitve?

[patent pivot]

the size, nothing else

[mental delta]

Ho then maybe

[remote kiln]

SAK has 2 different layout segments

so it's not really comparable

[stable sail]

He's talking size... If you take that north to south and overlay it east and west

2042 is prob bigger

MAYBE

[patent pivot]

yeah, well, maybe if the new map has an offshore island section

maybe

[remote kiln]

SAK has half the map cut-off except for rush only that's not accessible in conquest, 2042 is bigger

[solar marten]

Where is thr new vehicle

[stable sail]

DICE can't even release Wake Island on every single new game... And that's a problem lol

[remote kiln]

not coming till may

[patent pivot]

where water

[velvet sand]

may update, 7.2, alongside the new weapon and returning map

[arctic grove]

Also has the time to kill increased? Some assault riffles don't seem to be hitting as hard?

[remote kiln]

yes

[pine roost]

Headshot multipliers got changed

[remote kiln]

they had their headshot multipliers reduced

[velvet sand]

they changed headshot multipliers and damage ranges pretty much across the board

well, for AR/LMG/SMG

[arctic grove]

I'm not hitting headshits though, has it changed for body shots too?

[pine roost]

Nope

[arctic grove]

And for every gun or just assault rifles?

[pine roost]

Just headshots

[arctic grove]

Ok thanks

[pine roost]

Tbh it could be the visual recoil tricking you

[remote kiln]

there weren't any changes for body shots, though the visual recoil changes means you will miss more

[arctic grove]

Yeah very true

[patent pivot]

the m39 EMR

needs a fix

[solar marten]

Ohhhh

[pine roost]

What’s up with it

[solar marten]

Ty

[patent pivot]

the shake is a tad bit too muhc

[pine roost]

Haven’t touched it since it oneshot

[patent pivot]

despite with bipod

[wide hill]

other people also said that all the ones with bipods are shaking too much

[patent pivot]

ye

[pine roost]

Oh yeah I need to try out the other dmr recoil too

[patent path]

spotted an anti-cheater

cheaten't

[wide hill]

:p

somehow im hitting more kills with the new season

[patent path]

slow-day server

nobody has any kill

[velvet sand]

Is DICE ever going to add a, "Don't show the stupid freaking popup window after loading the game." option? Or are we going to have to dismiss the same stupid update for an entire season again?

[remote kiln]

latter

[velvet sand]

Seems like a pretty easy QoL win but like 4 seasons later you still cannot play the game without being told about the BP that's available to purchase that you already purchased.

Doesn't stuff like that annoy DICE staff who play? Wouldn't they be lobbying for a way to skip that window after seeing it for the first time? lol

[remote kiln]

Dev commands my guy

they can turn off basically anything they want

[whole escarp]

I’m struggling to get kills with the new map, I keep dying to many times unless I’m shit at the game

[remote kiln]

it's a new map don't expect to do well immediately

[whole escarp]

I played like 8 rounds of it already

[wide hill]

the map is very dense, keep that in mind

[spark pumice]

no more redacted 24/7? its joever

[cobalt pagoda]

damn that was the best gamemode

[vocal tusk]

I was the same my first few games. Im too used to just running between flags. On this map you kinda are best to get to a building, have a look and listen for enemies out the doors/windows...then deciding where to move.

[spark pumice]

its ACTUALLY joever

[queen crown]

I can't tell if I like the new map or not

[wide shore]

New map hard crashes my series x twice now.

Sick

[vocal tusk]

I like all but D flag.

[whole escarp]

I play redacted non-stop

[queen crown]

yeah D flag is the worst by far

[vocal tusk]

Series S/X issues are known/under investigation AFAIK

[queen crown]

and B to a certain extent

[wide shore]

Maybe they’ll fix the other hard crashes the game has too

Cause this still happens regardless of the map. But it has happened twice since trying to play today

[vocal tusk]

B is fine IMO...it has decent approach and hard cover. D has zero cover in the cap radius...apart from those 2 AC units, and one small destructible building

The radius needs to be WAY larger.

[whole escarp]

imo I think the new map is good, I like the devs added destruction into the building which was promising to see. Can’t wait to see the other new map.

[vocal tusk]

IMO...D flag would play a lot better if the cap radius was more like this (See minimap)

[ivory canopy]

Not a bad idea

[ebon pilot]

needs crop

[vocal tusk]

But yeah...both sides need more freedom and cover to cap from.

[chilly jacinth]

The should also just delete the US side

So RU wins by default every game

Oh wait they already do

[velvet sand]

man...I kinda hate the visual recoil changes a lot so far

[vocal tusk]

Not seen this myself yet tbh. But it's early days.

I think the map could use more transports

For breaking potential spawn traps.

[solid imp]

On Breakthrough I would honestly take out the heavy armor category completely, and this is why.
I am not a vehicle main lol

[chilly jacinth]

Now you are

[solid imp]

Infantry density is so high that c5/mine is more difficult and APS+decent gunner shooting down lissiles is all it takes

MBT moves with the infantry but stays behind it, it's almost unassailable

with a decent crew

Not even a T1 crew

And good lord if the Brawler or MAV is spawned it at the same time pushing into the defenders more aggressively it's gg every time

[remote kiln]

the map layout slightly favours ru but it's because the US side immediately silo to the top objective at the start of the map

it doesn't inherently favour one, it's just not great for indicative flow on the US side

[solid imp]

I must be the only player who hasn't experienced the joy of successfully defending lol

attackers have almost always won every time

[hollow gale]

it plays better on conquest

[remote kiln]

this type of map defenders will win 2% of the time lol

you would need to destroy every building to make it possible to defend

[solid imp]

I agree that arena/stadium is going to be the more infantry focused of the two maps, but I would like to see an infantry-only week on Haven and see how it plays

I bet it plays a lot better (BT)

[whole escarp]

I was getting destroyed in conquest so I decided to do breakthrough

[wide shore]

First two games I played on it RU got spawn trapped

Game I just played US got trapped

It’s living up to its Atacama name

[solid imp]

I do overall enjoy the map, that's the thing.. just a couple tweaks to push it into the next tier 🙂

Mostly around vehicles, not even map design

[wide shore]

Yeah make it so I don’t have a 50/50 shot of my Xbox dying and I’ll be happy

[solid imp]

NO JOY FOR YOU

[velvet sand]

rofl

new map on breakthrough is such ass

[wide shore]

Only played 3 games. Xbox hard crashed twice.

[velvet sand]

do defenders even get vehicles until the last sector, or was my team just that hilariously useless?

[solid imp]

oof

[ivory canopy]

Very likely the latter

[velvet sand]

also, 6.5K XP start for pips again, huzzah! glad that they thought the glacially slow and unfun pace of progress last season was apparently just right or something

for the like, month+ DICE spent hyping this up, my initial impression is incredibly negative.

despite being optimistic about the systems changes. the recoil change feels more annoying than anything else, guns didn't really change they just jerk all over the place with things like the m5 jerking to the right consistently

[ivory canopy]

I've yet to play Haven

I've been at work all day

[velvet sand]

Did DICE even share vehicle counts for Haven on both modes? Because the dev blog about the map only talks about CQ (because that's the only mode DICE acknoweldges as existings) and I can't find anything about counts for the map on BT.

[whole escarp]

I actually give up with this game

[velvet sand]

Should really rename Haven, "Mackay's Playground" because rofl his kit breaks the whole fucking map so easily.

[ivory canopy]

True

I haven't attempted the map and I can vouch for certain

Mackay is hilarious

[velvet sand]

Would be a fine map if there wasn't a specialist with a built-in grappling hook on a short-ish cooldown, who ALSO was inherently faster than every other specialist in the game.

[ivory canopy]

I am not overconfident; I'm just better than everyone else.

[mental delta]

Another proof specialists shouldn't exist

https://tenor.com/view/arrete-de-sourir-soit-normal-mec-yann-moix-yann-moix-gif-24803907

[velvet sand]

I mean yes, but that ship has sailed and the fact that DICE doesn't do anythin about the fundamentally broken kits after all these years is still sad.

Poor Boris being de-facto useless because DICE can't figure out an actual niche for his turret and refuse to redesign him.

[ivory canopy]

Zain/Sundance mastery farming on S6

[solid imp]

you can farm anything on redacted 😄

except boris...

poor boris

[velvet sand]

Yeah, Boris mains exist because they like pain : |

[ivory canopy]

You can use the fan room to kinda farm Boris kills

[cosmic dragon]

new map is really mid

[ivory canopy]

But if the other team has a brain they'll wreck the sentry immediately

[cosmic dragon]

im trying to like it but its just not that good

[solid imp]

It would be great for his turret to have different deployment modes like irish can choose between shield/aps
If he could even just choose between armor piercing, standard rounds, and something interesting like 40mm mortar

And a little shield in front of it with the turret poking over, like crawford doesn't just sit behind the gun... my man has protection

[velvet sand]

I've been suggesting this for so long. Spot, anti-vehicle, or anti-infantry functionality that nerfs it for anything other than its specialized role.

[ivory canopy]

I suggested a similar idea a while back: give him two different sentries to choose from.

[cosmic dragon]

i love getting cosmetics for operators i dont even use

[velvet sand]

But I've kinda given up on DICE actually doing meaningful work on specialist kits at this point. It's the end-of-life cycle for the game (probably last few seasons) and if they haven't made it a priority yet it won't be.

[ivory canopy]

Let him choose to deploy either a minigun-like sentry that is effective against infantry, or an upgraded version of the old one that does heavier damage to vehicles and target prioritizes them.

[velvet sand]

no pats*, they're not operators they're no pats and that's really important to the lore and narrative because reasons (just like sundance being nonbinary is really important to the lore and narrative)

[solid imp]

There was a guy on one of the podcasts and it bummed me out honestly... said that he would never ever allow boris to get any stronger

[cosmic dragon]

im gonna ram my rail tank turret up your arse and fire it :]

[velvet sand]

don't threaten me with a good time

[cosmic dragon]

thats not a gay sexual innuendo btw

[ivory canopy]

I don't care what Sundance wants to refer to themself as. I think most people don't. They see "haha funny wingsuit"

[bold slate]

Yo is bf hacked?

I just got dm from friend saying they got hacked

[ivory canopy]

That said, Mackay is easily my preferred specialist for the assault kit.

[chilly jacinth]

yes i just hacked it

[velvet sand]

i haven't watched any of the recent dev vids, but in the first few vids they released leading into S1 the devs kept using she/her for sundance and it was so funny because it jsut highlighted how little that factoid mattered even internally at DICE

[bold slate]

Cool

[chilly jacinth]

but for real though no

[bold slate]

Anyways add new plane plz

[chilly jacinth]

its only apex

[ivory canopy]

That's pretty unironically funny; EA DICE misgendering their own characters like that.

[bold slate]

Oh cool

[velvet sand]

your friend sounds like they clicked on a sex leg link

[ivory canopy]

I've mostly been playing Crawford now

[cosmic dragon]

how do people torture themselves by getting every T1

[chilly jacinth]

it only takes time

[cosmic dragon]

i only have 4 t1 weapons and i have 300 hours

[ivory canopy]

I won't do it with the gadgets

Just the weapons and probably the specialists

[cosmic dragon]

tho i dont stick to just 1 gun thats probably why

[chilly jacinth]

if you get alot of kills per game it doesnt take long

for guns atleast

[ivory canopy]

Yeah

[velvet sand]

you just play. I T1's a bunch of the SMG/AR's while waiting for them to start live service and since then only really T1 a new SMG/AR if it comes out during the season and that's it.

[ivory canopy]

I had a session where I sweated to 358 kills with the M60

[hybrid barn]

hey guys i assume you have had this question a million times. recently i tried getting back into the game but it refuses to launch. i've follwed every reddit post and tried uninstalling everything ea related and still no luck

[ivory canopy]

Most guns don't really take me that long

The XCE did because of lack of motivation. Was not a fan of it.

[jovial furnace]

Why’d they change the tank sight?

[wide hill]

did they?

[jovial furnace]

Yeah

[wide hill]

can you show? didnt get into one yet

[jovial furnace]

No image perms

[wide hill]

dm

[ivory canopy]

I went for the T1s for the slow guns first

[jovial furnace]

Alr

[cosmic dragon]

im not bad at the game or anything i have pretty high stats for a casual player

[ivory canopy]

So that's why I have every bolt action at T1

[velvet sand]

not a matter of good/bad, just time. being good shortens the time, but it's just time.

[ivory canopy]

The GVT was my first weapon T1

You'd be shocked the snipes you can pull off with it.

[cosmic dragon]

this game stresses me out if i play for more than 2 hours at a time

aint no way im getting t1 on anything else

back to H3VR

and TWD2

[hybrid barn]

if anybody has any ideas i will try lol

[ivory canopy]

I will be going for a shitload of kills with the SCZ-3 and Ak 5C when I unlock them

[velvet sand]

are you on PC? and how long do you let the black screen sit there? might just be loading very, very, very slowly on a HDD?

[hybrid barn]

yeah pc. for me it just opens the ea app now and doesn't launch at all

[ivory canopy]

Typical EA DICE breaking the game launcher upon a new season

[velvet sand]

what storefront did you buy from?

[hybrid barn]

i preordered through steam ages ago. it worked fine but i assume some update changed something for me

[wide hill]

the scz3 is great

[velvet sand]

prob best to check steam forums then. it shoudl load up the ea app to launch 2042 after launching it through steam

[drowsy shuttle]

Very weak battlepass.

[calm zephyr]

Damn the new Visual recoil killed the game for me
whats about you guys ?

[drowsy shuttle]

Who's attacking on the new map in breakthrough? Us or ru?

[velvet sand]

I thought it's the PLA or whatever? didn't listen to the little mission intro, but it seemed like they introducing them finally and hopefully moving away from the nonsensical nation-state actors that never made any sense for the premise of this game and no-pats

[spark pumice]

5 for 5 on losing on the new map on US side

nice

[drowsy shuttle]

It's the us

[velvet sand]

what platform? so far on PC I have not been enjoying it, but only played one round

[drowsy shuttle]

I don't care about the lore. Just wanted to know who attacks cause I only play breakthrough as attackers. Its the us

[velvet sand]

Oh...be careful with BT on the map. I played a round and it...was not great as a defender, at least.

It very much feels designed for CQ, even if the reports are that RU is hilariously favored in the CQ layout.

[drowsy shuttle]

Never is.. that's why I only play attackers lol

[velvet sand]

do you just nope outta matches you pop into as a defender? >.>

[calm zephyr]

PC and the amount of screen shake made me loose the focus on the enemy TBH

[velvet sand]

screen shake? you don't toggle that off? >.>

[calm zephyr]

They are copying COD in every possible way
no one asked for that TBF

[drowsy shuttle]

No, I know for each map which faction attacks.. so when I see the matchmaking you have 5 seconds to cancel.. so i cancel if I'm not on the attacking faction

[calm zephyr]

Screen shake that came with the visual recoil mate

[velvet sand]

maybe I didn't notice that bit, I just noticed the guns all felt like suddenly my character's hands were covered in olive oil for some reason.

gun sliding everywhere with the red dot on the sight mostly not corresponding to the movements, making it feel awkward since the shooting is unchanged but visually you're expecting a lot more recoil with how the gun is jerking and sliding every which way

[stuck kraken]

Nah its still the same US RU with made up lore for the fortnite skins, no substantive changes to actual factions

[chilly jacinth]

fun fact

all lore and stories ever made

are made up

[vocal tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/thor-all-words-made-up-words-gif-13151038

[velvet sand]

very true, and this is unfortunately very bad lore/narrative that makse little sense as presented (I haven't dug through all the biography cards because why?) and it's a shame because there are so many easy fixes

[calm zephyr]

Samer here
i dont see the point of adding such a game breaking features after 2 Year

[velvet sand]

like instead of RU/US, it's two fictional megacorps or it's non-governmental orgs like the PLA that rose up from the ashes of nation states

E Z

[vocal tusk]

I prefer it, and I dont notice any screen shake, the weapons just animate differently.

[spark pumice]

i think he means its low effort

[chilly jacinth]

ok

[vocal tusk]

Hopefully with the next game apparently having a SP...they can just go back to not having a narrative to the MP

[velvet sand]

they didn't need to put much narrative in 2042, but they chose to anyway

[chilly jacinth]

id rather them release a standalone sp game

not made by dice

[velvet sand]

like ridgeline?

[vocal tusk]

It wont be, AFAIk the SP is now being handled by Criterion

[tawny carbon]

No, fps games are normally doing this due to the immersion and have a higher skill ceiling, also making the weapons feel more realistic set of being dull and plain.

[vocal tusk]

Ridgeline no longer exists

[chilly jacinth]

i know

[velvet sand]

that's such a weirdo move that mkes no sense to me. like...that's their racing studio that did good work on flight in games like Battlefront? why are you sticking them on a narrative shooter?

[drowsy shuttle]

Map looks good, played only 1 match so far, but first impressions are good.

[vocal tusk]

Cos they worked on BF1, V and 2042?

[chilly jacinth]

and battlefront 2

[velvet sand]

ah, that's it. critereon peeps became ghost games and EA just kept the criteron name as they turned it into a BF support studio

[patent path]

map is good, gun is good, battlepass is battle-ass

[velvet sand]

in which case I retract my earlier comment since the racing peeps are gone

[patent path]

the skins are kinda dookie

[chilly jacinth]

criterion made NFS unbound

that launched in 2022

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah battlepass is pretty weak. I haven't bought it yet.. I don't think I will

[patent path]

I finally got 20 grenade kills

it's awful

[calm zephyr]

Its not a single player dude
Its Battlefield no need for such stuff.
Making all the screen shake is not immersive its rather frustrating tbh.

[ashen siren]

Buying stuff like this only encourages them to gouge people...don't do it!

[tawny carbon]

Single play doesn’t always gets the immersion treatment and realistic weapon feeling

[drowsy shuttle]

Not with real money lol I have 2100 boins from previews battlepasses

[tawny carbon]

I have more

Boins is life

[patent zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/uubf7hCGHcE\

[chilly jacinth]

yt shorts

i dont want brainrot

[midnight mesa]

Medics have been more selfish lately

[tawny carbon]

It’s better than ticktock tho

[midnight mesa]

Oh boy

[ashen siren]

Lastnight, medics were 1m away and doing nothing...bring back the old class systems ffs

Because people can self-heal, they just lone-wolf, and don't do their jobs. Insanely frustrating and has wrecked any need to squad-up

[dull hawk]

I'm trying to enjoy the update. Game has crashed 3 times the past hour. Trying very hard to enjoy it.

[chilly jacinth]

try harder

[tawny carbon]

People worry about their stats than team play

Some people is just slow in general

[chilly jacinth]

blueberries have always been trash

[ashen siren]

It was a mess lastnight dude. They've had long enough to have sorted out issues, with a waaaaaay overdue season launch which is busted and being drip-fed content. I'm done with this crap

[pliant nexus]

So, is the crash happening for everyone on Xbox?

[chilly jacinth]

yes

[tawny carbon]

I mean 😪 we do have a lot of cod noobs playin the game also

[ashen siren]

brb, gotta do the daycare dropoff for little dude

[tawny carbon]

Have fun

[pliant nexus]

Thanks

[ebon pilot]

i run around as a medic, get 37 revives on new map
look at the next person on the board in revives: 10

what are they doing all game?

[iron jackal]

the SCZ3 good?

[tawny carbon]

Idk Im the same way also

I dont understand

[crude wave]

idk about you guys but season 7 broke the game for me

[tawny carbon]

I played in a 4 man VC on conquest 128p and we had more than all blueberries revives at once

[crude wave]

It keeps on crashing my xbox

[chilly jacinth]

me when i top the board with most revs and kills

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

[velvet sand]

tunnel vision pew pew. my brother does this when he plays as angel because the only reason he plays angel is to give himself infinite ammo

[drowsy shuttle]

Oh look the matchmaking error is back

[tawny carbon]

I feel like everyone is tryna pay S7

[crude wave]

Also controller output keeps on freezing and breaking on the game

[dusty sparrow]

The ult pass is cheaper than i thought lol

[crude wave]

Ok not that serious but it stops responding every 2 minutes and I have to ADS for it to work again

[dusty sparrow]

S6 one was 30 Euro and this one is 20

[next onyx]

To no one's surprise the patch is broken.

[crude wave]

Honestly this is the first season to actually crash it

[drowsy shuttle]

Every update they brake something.. its not a surprise anymore

[crude wave]

Each fix breaks 10 more things

[drowsy shuttle]

But it's like that with every game so

[next onyx]

The game crashed my xbox at release.

Cause of recursive code or some shit.

[crude wave]

This game crashed my brain and gave me anger issues at release

But its pretty good now

At least better than the last 5 cod games

[tawny carbon]

This is for Steam only player base

It reached almost 40k today

[dawn cedar]

free week

[chilly jacinth]

free weekend isnt now though

[next onyx]

I wouldn't be so apathetic if ea help actually fucking worked yet here we are.

[dawn cedar]

is it not

[next onyx]

It's only Wednesday.

[dawn cedar]

oh it starts the 21st

21st - 24

[dusty sparrow]

Tuesday*

[velvet sand]

ea help exists to connect you to other helpful players who have no abillity to do anything beyond share public information. it's very helpful!

[crude wave]

Its just a shame to have an Atacama desert map and for it to be daytime only

Its beautiful at night

[tawny carbon]

Western countries is Tuesday still

[dusty sparrow]

or the entire EU almost i think

[toxic anvil]

Turn the lights off

[crude wave]

Seirously look up a picture of it and you'll see what I mean

[tawny carbon]

AUS is in the future

[next onyx]

That's the forums and I forgot they exist

[dull hawk]

Yes, just happened the 4th time.

[crude wave]

Oh thank god

I thought it was only me

[drowsy shuttle]

No need to thank me

[dull hawk]

Yeah, very frustrating.

New map is very cool. But 2042 has never crashed this much for me since launch over 2 years ago. Hope they are aware of it and fix it soon.

🇸🇪

[kindred flint]

lmao first game ive played in almost 4 months..enders is on my team

[velvet sand]

damn, new map maybe playable on xbox tomorrow then : /

[dull hawk]

Thank you for the update. Very much appreciated.

At least they're aware.

[velvet sand]

Someone at EA/DICE is probably having some uncomfortable conversations with their account manager at Microsoft.

[ebon pilot]

it's 10 PM they're in bed

[next onyx]

It's not that deep

[tawny carbon]

Troll him jkjkjk

Unless…

[drowsy shuttle]

That's what she said

[nocturne locust]

Is the game crashing for PC users too?

[tawny carbon]

She say a lot of things

[drowsy shuttle]

Not here

[kindred flint]

im 1-7 im trolling myself

[chilly jacinth]

i can make it crash if i tab out

when i load into a game

[tawny carbon]

Alt-f4

[nocturne locust]

yeah I think that's been an issue since the previous update

lol

[chilly jacinth]

its a new issue for me

[nocturne locust]

very odd

[kindred flint]

1-8 make that

[nocturne locust]

I remember getting a DirectX error or some sorts before crashing once. Been a very long time since I saw error like that for any games lol.

[kindred flint]

enders still using the vhx

[tawny carbon]

Bruh. Lameo I’m hearing

[tawny carbon]

Maybe GPU issue, idk

[nocturne locust]

I restarted the game and it worked fine.. it was weird

[tawny carbon]

Atleast it works now

[nocturne locust]

lol yea

[last willow]

I restarted my PC after it updated (just a habit) and played with no hiccups all morning

But ALL PCs vary depending on your configurations but MOST IMPORTANTLY if you are on latest BIOS firmware, chipset drivers, and graphics drivers

AMD just updated their chipset drivers last week for anyone on Ryzen

[stuck kraken]

First match, no shaking with SFAR mid range build and we won on the US side, ironic haha

[green gazelle]

Why in the actual fuck did they nerf c4, making it so assault now only spawns with 2 c4, which isn't enough to destroy a vehicle? Like have they ever played a videogame? Do they not understand that every change they have made since launch has made the game worse?

[stuck kraken]

Because assault supposed to assault and not be better than engi at doing anti tank

[green gazelle]

do you have brain damage?

[stuck kraken]

All other classes carry more c4

Chill out

[chilly jacinth]

recon also carries 2

[green gazelle]

What do you think assaulting is? Remember the last game when assault was the designated AT class

The change is bad, and makes the game less fun, and you are stupid for defending it

[ebon pilot]

Play engineer

[tawny carbon]

Only engineer have 3, other classes is 2

[dusty sparrow]

it's made for assaulting the player with words

[stuck kraken]

“I disagree with your opinion therefore you must be stupid”

[green gazelle]

Vehicles are over powered enough, and now the remove the mackay c4 trick, the only fun way to deal with them which even then was easily countered

[ebon pilot]

Skill issue

[next onyx]

Calm the hell down.

[chilly jacinth]

ground vehicles arent op

[next onyx]

I emphasise with your annoyance, I think there are other, better ways balance it particularly around assault. But raving on about it on discord won't do you much good.

[stuck kraken]

Engineer has been pointless since launch, now they have more chances to stand out doing designated AT role, also assault used to be medic afterwards so your point?

[dusty sparrow]

*CV90 sends it regards 😉 *

[quiet shell]

45hz server + unfixed mouse input + relearning recoil sure does make me not want to play

[stuck kraken]

The amount of people being hysterical about any new change instead of playing the game and recognizing the valid positive changes we got after 7 months is crazy

[next onyx]

Recoil doesn't feel any different.

I mean ok the visual recoil sure.

But the guns themselves don't feel too different.

[chilly jacinth]

it feels like i can control the recoil now

[next onyx]

If... that makes sense.

[chilly jacinth]

and not just along for the ride

[next onyx]

I think it's a little too far.

Just a tiny bit.

[tawny carbon]

It’s all a visual thing,

[next onyx]

But for the most part it's good.

[chilly jacinth]

some guns for sure need some tuning

[next onyx]

I just wish the rds frame didn't go crazy.

[quiet shell]

the fact that this all DICE can deliver in 7 months is a reason to be upset

[tawny carbon]

They have the next battlefield in development also a lot of layoffs and stuff during the 6 months

[mental delta]

Dice be like "I need 6 months for 1 new map and 1 map remake and there's nothing you can do about it"

[next onyx]

Ironically I'm more upset at ea help being dogshit than this game.

[quiet shell]

I genuinely don't get it. How can they believe this middle ground of full and low support is sustainable

[tawny carbon]

Same

[kindred flint]

this map would definitely be better with no helis

[mental delta]

Idk tbh lol, as I told someone here a few days ago at this point it would have been better to drop support after season 6 to make all their devs go on BF6, there's no point of making people wait 6 months for 1 map and 3 guns

[ebon pilot]

Because it isn't and they don't care. Another battlefield will come out, people will buy it, and they'll make another

forever

[quiet shell]

I don't plan on buying the next battlefield until I see it in full and even then I'm most likely waiting for a sale

[kindred flint]

the next BF will just be bloated with store skins that morons will buy

[stuck kraken]

I mean its a skeleton crew, I honestly thought they’d stop after the Blasco season

And just bin the whole thing

[mental delta]

Next BF support plan doesn't have to be like BF2042's one, at some point (according to leaks) plans for BF2042 live service was to drop 2 or 3 maps each season with a few Portal maps and guns, the game's failure apparently changed it all

[ashen siren]

I'm flatly refusing to buy the next BF when released. I'm going to need to see unbiased/honest reviews, and see how polished the turd is, before I part with a single dollar. This latest season was their final chance with me, n I'm legit done with this shit

[next onyx]

Someone tell the corpo heads that they need to actually push for good games rather than do the bare minimum.

[nocturne locust]

yeaa definitely not going to fall for the early access for the next bf.

[mental delta]

Crazy how we got so many skins in this game but such a low quantity of content at the same time lol

[ashen siren]

They actually think it's ok to treat their customers with contempt

[quiet shell]

DICE can keep this up if they want. Imma go play Helldivers

[ebon pilot]

ok yall have fun

or try to

[lean dew]

it's just me, or the new map look like strike at karkand from bf3?

[kindred flint]

so we stomped them, then i get stomped..both on US side

oh well 2 games is enough for now

[ashen siren]

The only two things that were keeping me playing this clusterfuck of a game, was Redacted, and that their was a new season dropping. Removing Redacted as an actively choosable option (I cannot select what map I want to play you mofos!!!) has pissed me off, and don't even get me started on the trainwreck of S7. Poorly implemented, drip-fed, lazy, cut/paste "new" maps.

Thanks for giving us back the stadium you took away, and giving us Sinai 2.0 done with minimal thought/effort. Fed up

[arctic grove]

Wdym try to lol, there’s better games

[ebon pilot]

I think some people are incapable of just having fun and prefer to just complain fruitlessly in chat rooms

[nocturne locust]

Wait they got rid of redacted map?

[drowsy shuttle]

No but they should lol

[next onyx]

It's the only thing of relevance here.

People are burned out.

[arctic grove]

It is what it is, i mean it is a chat room for discussion and debate about this particular franchise

[ashen siren]

It's still there, but you can only play it in rotation. Not being able to simply choose what map we want to play, is a fucking joke

[drowsy shuttle]

Let them be, they are not hurting anyone

[next onyx]

I want to talk about the skorpion evo but I can't because the fucking game broke last night.

[kindred flint]

reee no you cant talk about 2042 in the 2042 chat

[nocturne locust]

oh dang that sucks

[next onyx]

How else do you think the convo could go.

[ashen siren]

Shills going "thankyou Dice/EA for creating my favourite game, you've done a magnificent job and this is the shining example for all games to follow. Perfection 10/10"... 😛

[junior galleon]

why do people think this

[ebon pilot]

there's talking about 2042 and then there's "dice hates their fans they do nothing right they should just stop making games"

[next onyx]

I reckon I'm pretty fair with this game at times. However the way this live service shit has gone its hard not to think of dread.

[tawny carbon]

dice loves their fans xD

[ashen siren]

The new map building internals are literally from Sinai map in BF1...copy/paste job. Oh, n half the doors don't even open...way to go! 😛

[lean dew]

for me is the position of the building, very similar

[chilly jacinth]

if i was dice i would hate my "fans"

one look in here would make depressed

and its not exclusive to this game btw

[vocal tusk]

Almost all the new map buildings are from Arica Harbor...what are you talking about lmao

[junior galleon]

^^^^^

[next onyx]

Katilio and Alex as far as I've talked to are the coolest devs I've met. Though it's a shame they're under whatever damn management.

[junior galleon]

almost like people pay money and want better

[chilly jacinth]

yall should practice the vote with your wallet

[fading hawk]

Man the sun glare on haven is insane

[vocal tusk]

New map is fine. Tho in having played it for 20+ rounds now...it is insanely difficult to win from the US side.

[drowsy shuttle]

Shout out to Alex for giving us the ghostmaker and throwing knifes.

[ebon pilot]

oh but it's hard to vote with wallet when everything after launch has been free

[kindred flint]

i bought the game on sale before it even launched...and havent spent any more money on it since

(you know how many people here have just opened wallet for prem BP and skins)

[drowsy shuttle]

I own 3 battlefields and never spent a cent in any of them lol.. I might buy the next battlefield cause I just feel bad

[kindred flint]

bonuses with tech purchases?

[drowsy shuttle]

Birthday gifts lol

[junior galleon]

only do that if its good...

[kindred flint]

so you wasted your family members money?

[chilly jacinth]

i bought bf4 dlc

huge waste of money

[kindred flint]

...bro you cant say that around here

bf4 was goat

[junior galleon]

why is it a waste of money

[kindred flint]

launch was perfect

[chilly jacinth]

thats the only bf game i bought shit for

[fading hawk]

Something about Haven just feels unpolished

[kindred flint]

360 players loved bf4!

[drowsy shuttle]

I have a friend.. he is kinda rich he buys deluxe editions in almost every game.. lol

[last willow]

How so?

[drowsy shuttle]

Gifted me bf 5 and 2042

[kindred flint]

havens streets are a mess yo

[fading hawk]

Getting sniped from spawn, the sun glare is insane, it feels a little too open and spawning on a contested flag is instant death lol

[kindred flint]

they really should have swept up a bit before we destroyed the city

[drowsy shuttle]

Haven is pretty cool, so far I enjoy it.. (played only breakthrough tho)
