battlefield-2042

[karmic axle]

Idk I'd assume not.

[ebon pilot]

only slightly better

what's your resolution?

[karmic axle]

1080p

dlss on right now

[patent pivot]

I remember seeing turd texture on some objects

During rush xl

[karmic axle]

I am in rush XL

[ebon pilot]

damn i was running 1440p x2 on a 2080 and it ran ok

[karmic axle]

and the scope on my gun

[patent pivot]

Yep

[karmic axle]

literally looks straight out of a ps2 game

[patent pivot]

That could be it

[karmic axle]

Is it really just

the fucking game?

Is that shit?

[patent pivot]

Rush xl is compensating textures for player count

[ebon pilot]

rush xl fuckin sucks

[karmic axle]

How do I undo that

[ebon pilot]

get a better gpu

and stop playing rush xl

[karmic axle]

I plan to upgrade my gpu eventually, but this one has been running the game fine.

I just wish it would stop making poopy textures.

[patent pivot]

First, stop rush xl

And consistently play BT, conquest or tdm

And report back

[remote kiln]

running dlss at 1080p is 800p resolution, switch it off

[karmic axle]

Okay I'll try turning dlss off.

[karmic axle]

even in 128 conquest and breakthrough

I experience poopy textures on things as simple as just my desert eagle

[patent pivot]

Not 128 you dingus

[karmic axle]

I like the bigger modes

that's the whole point of the game

[karmic axle]

dlss off textures still look like shit

[patent pivot]

I think you're better off waiting for WR to come out...

[karmic axle]

WR?

[patent pivot]

Warsaw revamped

For bf4

[tawny carbon]

128p modes takes a hit on performance. 3080 and above should treat you well

[remote kiln]

your shaders are probably failing to compile or something idk lol

[karmic axle]

So how do I turn off the texture degradation.

I wish I could post pics jfc

why does this discord not have a media channel

[patent pivot]

Bribe the mods

[tawny carbon]

atleast BF4 WR isnt as demanding compared to 2042 even for 128p

[patent pivot]

To get image perm

[karmic axle]

How do I fix this then

[patent pivot]

Better aesthetic too

[tawny carbon]

P2G or regular role

[patent pivot]

[tawny carbon]

i love both ngl. i enjoy 2042's art style alot

[remote kiln]

no idea my guy its not my pc

[patent pivot]

Blehhh

2042 looks like it has modern game syndrome

[tawny carbon]

they are both modern setting kek

[karmic axle]

I've already tried a fresh install of gpu drivers

[patent pivot]

If you combine cod mw reboot and fortnite

You got 2042

[tawny carbon]

naw

2042 isnt a br game kek

cant combine fortnite

[patent pivot]

Visual not gameplay

[remote kiln]

its not my pc as ive said theres not much i can do

[patent pivot]

Dingus

[tawny carbon]

not UE5 tho

its frostbite

[patent pivot]

You get my fucking point

[tawny carbon]

cuz better graphics?

[karmic axle]

The textures aren't always shit though btw Deco

they flucutate between being shit and not being shit

depending where I am

[tawny carbon]

just get a better gpu bro

[remote kiln]

as i said its a shader issue or something akin to it but youll need to figure it out yourself

[karmic axle]

I got no clue how to figure it out I've exhauusted what I know.

[patent pivot]

Nvidia latency on or off?

[remote kiln]

nv low latency has nothing to do with textures

[karmic axle]

In the game or in the control panel

[patent pivot]

Not you, sorry

[karmic axle]

I can't at this moment man unless you wanna be a sugar daddy or something 😭

[patent pivot]

What ya got

[karmic axle]

who?

[patent pivot]

You

[tawny carbon]

im good bro, your pc= your money

[karmic axle]

3060ti remember?

[patent pivot]

And CPU?

[karmic axle]

7800x3d

[patent pivot]

Odf

I got 2070

I only see this happening on 128

Never on 64 and lower

[tawny carbon]

cpu and ram is fine. just get a better gpu. 128p is demanding

[karmic axle]

Okay but my question is

how do I stop it from making my textures poopy

[ebon pilot]

especially when all 128 players are standing in the exact same spot

[karmic axle]

and just let it drop my fps a little

I'd rather have slightly lower fps but nicer textures

than ps2 textures

[ebon pilot]

because that's not how computers work

[patent pivot]

Either stop complaining, or force yourself to play other modes

[karmic axle]

I'm not complaining I'm asking a question

[patent pivot]

No workaround

I once had 1060; everything low and muddy

I didn't complain for my life

[karmic axle]

It's not complaining it's just me asking how to fix the issue if possible.

[patent pivot]

Fuck it

You two deal with him

[remote kiln]

..

[karmic axle]

Bruh you already answered the question when you said no workaround

so I got my answer

[remote kiln]

if you cant be seen you cant be heard

[chilly jacinth]

Did you install the game on an HDD or something?

[torpid wadi]

Man here you are nailing shots like that with the under barrel and then i get fucking hit markers with the mcs from half the distance lmao

[chilly jacinth]

I think masterkey has tighter spread

[arctic grove]

what loadout ru running thats so satisfying

[remote kiln]

subsonic/masterkey/type 4/thermal

[remote kiln]

[torpid wadi]

Using shotguns in this game make me want to to ape shit

[naive quiver]

Do you think 4090 can compatible to 4K 240hz monitor @remote kiln

[remote kiln]

wdym

reaching or?

[naive quiver]

Yeah

Handle it meant

[remote kiln]

youre not reaching 240 at 4k with any gpu lol

youre going to be CPU limited way before that happens

speaking as a guy with a 4090

[naive quiver]

I was thinking about to get that new rog 32inch 4k 240hz monitor

however I want to wait for 5090

If that can reached

[remote kiln]

5090 aint hitting 240 at 4k lol

[naive quiver]

I know

But don’t know how many fps will that be

[remote kiln]

keep your expectations in check, 4k is expensive to run for any gpu, youll be waiting at least 2-3 generations for that to happen

[naive quiver]

At least smooth for gaming

[remote kiln]

120 roughly at 4k for a 4090

[naive quiver]

I know you are using a 1440p 240hz monitor What is your current frame rate?

[remote kiln]

im at 3440, not 1440p, 165hz aswell, im hitting the cap most of the time put it that way

hope youre willing to spend top money for the processor aswell though

[naive quiver]

Oh , I see your steam profile it was 240hz

[arctic grove]

I dont see a difference between 165 and 240 hertz with my eyes

[remote kiln]

yeah cause you wont be hitting that type of framerate most of the time lol

[arctic grove]

I do tho but i play on 1440p

[remote kiln]

a 4090 cant even do 240 at 1440p for this game

[arctic grove]

I dont play this game

[remote kiln]

[naive quiver]

Not necessarily to upgrade. I’m playing on 1440p 144hz what do you think deco

[arctic grove]

I own it but i just dont play it 😭

[remote kiln]

idk lol im not you

if youre going 4k be prepared to scrap your processor aswell for it

[arctic grove]

Idk i dont see a point to play on 4k when iam doing fine with what i have now

Would be a waste

[remote kiln]

yeah youre not the one being asked

[arctic grove]

Rude

[tawny carbon]

3080 hits around 120fps on low at 1440p kek

[remote kiln]

to be expected

[naive quiver]

On low 😂

[tawny carbon]

ye

i run low in every game... thats just me but thats what i get

[polar sun]

if youre at least hitting 60fps, youre gucci.

[tawny carbon]

no i dont OC. im not risking my 3080 lifespan

[arctic grove]

Not when you tried 120 fps

[remote kiln]

overclocking doesnt do anything lol

[arctic grove]

Feels like 30 fps if you play 60 after trying 120

[violet otter]

I seem to get 80-100 fps on 3080Ti 4K DLSS quality

[naive quiver]

Don’t want to play on low when you can handle it on ultra setting

[tawny carbon]

ultra is to much... me like frames

and less latency

[arctic grove]

• on some games you have a graphical advantage over some other players when you use low graphics

[tawny carbon]

tbh, i dont care for that

but yea

[polar sun]

im getting anywhere from 80-115 with 3080 and max settings.

[naive quiver]

On 1440p ?

[polar sun]

rgr

[tawny carbon]

on ultra i stay around 100 fps on 1440p

[polar sun]

yea sounds about right, 100 on average, sometimes higher, sometimes lower

[violet otter]

I think the PS5 version holds up quite well. Not at ultra settings but a sharp image and holds 60 fps well with its dynamic 4K

[polar sun]

well 60fps and 4k is good

[violet otter]

In moment to moment action I can’t really tell much difference playing next to my PC unless I’m looking for finer detail

[tawny carbon]

welp im wrong. i stay around 130-150 fps on low at 1440p. 140 fps is my average

[full burrow]

i have a laptop 3070 and my native is 1440p however I play BF in 1080p with fps locked at 120

the gpu can give me closer to 160 but im cpu bound anyway

[tawny carbon]

good game

[slate burrow]

I really hope one of the next updates lets us use generic soldiers as our characters to play as.

[gilded goblet]

ur goated

Ur better

[violet otter]

I think that would be in another game not 2042

The specialists are too ingrained into the game design

[solar hull]

The next battlefield hopefully

[violet otter]

I can’t imagine they will go with specialists again. Will probably be something more like BF5 with faction specific soldiers

[gilded goblet]

Proberly, Hopefully not a hero shooter again

[mental delta]

I would do some sick shit for the next game to not have bad skins and no specialists

[tawny carbon]

im bad bro

my stats say so (according to the stat checker nerds)

[merry zodiac]

Worth picking up on ps5 for $10? Just want something. modern aside from insurgency and better performance than bf4

[tawny carbon]

2042 for $10 yea it’s worth

It’s still modern setting

[gilded goblet]

yep

[gilded goblet]

ur not!

[mental delta]

BF4 still got enough servers ?

[merry zodiac]

Surprisingly yeah. Both vanilla and dlc ones. Wish bf1 was like that

[modern stirrup]

Anyone got a aim training code for portal?

[vivid dirge]

why on gods green earth, did you think it was a good idea to give stingers UNLIMITED Y axis range

oh, is it for the bomber you plan on adding with zero flare capabilities?

_>

[mental delta]

You lads like the "art direction" game is heading to in terms of skins ?

I find the season 6 to be incredibly awful

Starts to look like COD more and more each season skins-wise

Just hope next game doesn't do that

BF2042 just doesn't feel and look like a real BF game

[vivid dirge]

bc its not the same dev team

sadly

the game LOOKS good, they just spend too much catering to opinions left by COD nerds

"nerf vehicles" (this is a battlefield game by the way)

[mental delta]

Yeah but thing is I don't want next game to look shitty like this

[vivid dirge]

mfw they added the old teams shit to portal and ignored the greatness

[mental delta]

Like can't we just go back to more immersive shit ?

[vivid dirge]

go make a bf3 portal

[mental delta]

With normal skins ?

[naive ember]

This is the same dude that think the game is dead

Hilarious

[vivid dirge]

yea, heli one tapped a mortal human, but the aa misisles literally travel like actual missiles

[vivid dirge]

no i want my mommy lis

[mental delta]

Lmaooo you here again bro

[mental delta]

Then why don't you go on COD ? They got plenty of "mommy lis" there

[naive ember]

Game dead right? Go back to cod

[mental delta]

You still mad about it bro ?

[naive ember]

You're mad

[mental delta]

Can't handle people not being delusional like you ?

😱

Lol WTF bro

I don't think I said game was dead btw

[naive quiver]

never shut down never dead

[mental delta]

More like it wasn't "that alive"

[naive ember]

Yeah saying bf 2042 is dead and calling people delusional

Amazing

What's next bud?

[wide hill]

you dont need to use skins tho?

like just use the default ones

[mental delta]

What can we do, Crab is a magician 😎

[mental delta]

Nah but I got to see you guys playing bald crackhead Mackay skin and I'd like that kind of shit to keep being COD exclusive you know

I get that people like skins, I like some too, but if we could keep the modern clownish shit we see on COD and Fortnite out of BF I'd be happy

[wide hill]

you cant compare b2042 skins with fortnite though? Like, did you see a spongebob or something in bf?

all skins here are human

[naive ember]

Dude is bugging

I want what he's on it seems fun

[solar hull]

Anyone wanna run some ps5 breakthrough ?

[mental delta]

Just exaggerating but BF2042 skins are mostly shit in season 7 imo and I'd just like BF to go back to something more immersive

And I just think a large part of community would like it too

[wide hill]

then dont equip season 7 skins lmao

[naive ember]

^

[wide hill]

and also the point that you see others with it. idk about you but i dont play attention to others skins while playing

[mental delta]

Well don't equip it either so my game doesn't look like shit ? See where I'm heading too ?

[wide hill]

no i indeed dont

[mental delta]

That y'all should stop spending 20 bucks on shitty skins every week

[lone void]

APS is stupid

[wide hill]

i have never bought a skin lol

and its our own money, so why should you care xD

[mental delta]

All that money wasted on skins while it could have been used to buy DLCs and get real content

[wide hill]

but i dont want more content

[mental delta]

Because most of the time, same people who used to complain about 15€ DLCs are the same who, now, spend 30€ a week on shitty skins

Most people just get used to pay more and get shitty skins over real content

[naive quiver]

sometime people have some money for free

Who’s know

[mental delta]

Yo WTF ? You what ?

[mental delta]

Imagine spending 10 bucks a week in skins you'll play with only once

[wide hill]

yes imagine, different people have different preferences. You dont like the new skins, i dont want more maps

easy

[mental delta]

You can you just don't want more maps ?

That's the dumbest shit I've heard in months

[wide hill]

why should i not?

[mental delta]

Nah y'all are crazy I'm out of this shit

[naive quiver]

The battle pass stuff isn't that bad , also how many times did you actually used the skins

One is enough

[mental delta]

Dude we had to wait 2 years for 7 maps ??? But y'all don't want new maps ???

Nah that's crazy

Industry got you

It's joe over

[wide hill]

i think your missing a crucial point

my oppinion is not the oppinion of the entire community

same as yours

[lone void]

APS is still stupid

should not ever be on infantry

ever

[spare quest]

[mental delta]

Looking at the number of sales I'd say that a large part of the community probably agrees with me

[wide hill]

ok, nice

[naive ember]

ICANT

[chilly jacinth]

dont think we have any up to date sales numbers

[mental delta]

I mean launch tells it all, and number of players in the year following release tells something as well

Sure sales probably grew over seasons

[chilly jacinth]

we also dont have any accurate player numbers

but go on champ

[mental delta]

But I still think it might not be the most "rentable" BF game ever lol

[mental delta]

Referring to quantity of Portal servers and time to find a server in AOW even in most populated regions

So it's either Dice still not k owing how to make match browser anymore

Or playercpunt not being that high

In both cases it sucks

[chilly jacinth]

weird how ive had the same queue times since launch

[mental delta]

Lmao sure

[wide hill]

yea

[mental delta]

Launch was absolutely not fuck

[chilly jacinth]

you dont have to believe me

[wide hill]

he doesnt

[mental delta]

Not like almost nobody was playing it for like 6 months ?

[wide hill]

should i do a screen recording?

yea, the game was dead for half a year, sure xD

[mental delta]

No I indeed don't, play on Europe with 9ms ping but still need more than 1 minute to find a server lol

So I'd say it's either player count being not that high or Doce not knowing how to make matchmaking

[wide hill]

A MINUTE
oh my god

what should you do with all the time you save when its just 20secs

[full burrow]

of course they dont know how to do matchmaking

[mental delta]

It was but let's reinvent history and say launch was good and that playercount has always been high

[full burrow]

back in bf1 even during its prime and peak hours if you asked it to search for a game you would 99% be put into an empty server

[mental delta]

According to then it looks to be most incredible matchmaking ever made

[full burrow]

but if you browsed yourself there were tons of suitable servers

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, just look at hardline on PC!

/s

[full burrow]

Skin based matchmaking

[naive quiver]

All we have to do is waiting for next battlefield ( whatever it called ) without specialists and AIs

[wide hill]

but for real, if you complain about needing a minute to find a game. sorry but thats not a long time

[vocal tusk]

I really hope the next game keeps both the quickplay matchmaking...and ALSO has a server browser for those games players are matchmaking into tho.

[full burrow]

relatively speaking a minute is NOT a long time, however compared to previous battlefield titles, I dont remember ever having to wait that long

I hope they scrap the "live service" model

[vocal tusk]

Doubt it will happen TBH

[full burrow]

great so back to pathetic drips of content and 100 skins

[chilly jacinth]

how about instead of scrapping it

[vocal tusk]

Live services isnt even the problem. A bad live service is

[chilly jacinth]

increase the amount of content

[full burrow]

lol there was nothing wrong with the old system

[mental delta]

Idk we used to have server browser so we could instantly find a populated server with a map rotation we would like but yeah I guess it's juste me having "too high expectations"

[full burrow]

Buy the premium expansion pass for 20 squid on sale and your good for every bit of content they ever release

[chilly jacinth]

segregating the playerbase is a problem

[vocal tusk]

Sure there is. I didnt grow up with money...and myself and many friends couldnt afford premium. Most of us couldnt play new maps/content

[wide hill]

there is still a server browser? xD

[naive quiver]

battlefield are not mobile phones what does AI do?

[mental delta]

Yeah everyone says that but in reality it's just Portal and it's mostly "800% tickets with 300% damages"

What a good server browser right ?

[full burrow]

cos the new maps/content are soooooo worth it now

[mental delta]

[mental delta]

Hopefully specialists shit go away and never come back

[vocal tusk]

3 maps per season under this current live service model and it would be almost perfect.

[wide hill]

somehow i think your anti everything in this game

[full burrow]

except why the fuck would a gready corpo give you more content for less money?

[naive quiver]

I heard that specialists will be more compatible than ever before in next battlefield game

[chilly jacinth]

cod started making bank by shifting to skins

so

dont see how it would be any different here

[mental delta]

2 maps a season was the best they could do for this game (and it took them 7 seasons to do so) so I'd say it's being delusional af

[full burrow]

they couldnt even have their base advertised features done well, no one is going to give you good quality on a live service model, its a pathetic excuse to deliver little and then just say ohh but you only have to pay if you want cosmetics the rest is free

[chilly jacinth]

im not saying it will happen

[mental delta]

Yeah let's just not say shit like this so it never happens please

[mental delta]

Then fuck live service ?

[naive quiver]

Never understood how dice thinking

[chilly jacinth]

do you really believe EA will move away from live service?

now thats delusional if anything

[mental delta]

Sure everything is free, it just took them months to add a scoreboard and many key features all BF games had

[mental delta]

I'm not saying it's gonna happen, what I said exactly is "then fuck live service"

[full burrow]

exactly, I want them just to stick to basics, dont try to reinvent the wheel, deliver a solid game on launch with what is expected from a battlefield title

[mental delta]

"Reinvent the wheel" was probably some of the dumbest shit the BF community could have heard after this game's terrible release, I agree all they need to do is make a traditional BF and that's it

[full burrow]

but soo many especially big companies, just make their sales off fancy trailers and headline features, its not until you actually play that you realise what you figured was just the surface is actually the whole thing

its all greed, theres no point in making a good game for X amount of sales regardless of how profitable that is, if you can make more money putting less effort in but selling skins

[mental delta]

Problem is that people nowadays defend this type of behaviour and they're like "you shouldn't have bought the game it's your fault", like bro you've been lied to and just expected a functionning game, how could it be your fault ?

[wide hill]

thats why you dont preorder

[ebon pilot]

you know what happens when you assume

[full burrow]

you should hear the Mortal Online 2 community - its a hardcore pvp mmorpg but 95% of what the devs are say are just false promises but people get strung along hoping one day it will be better and shit that they were told will come true ect

[mental delta]

I won't throw the rock at people expecting functionning game at launch with decent quantity of content, that's the usual expectation for a 80€ game

[mental delta]

They're on hard copium as I can see, just hope those people get what they paid for one day

[ebon pilot]

don't assume people making a product have your best interests in mind

[chilly jacinth]

MO2 is dead af

and the devs making it dont have any money

[mental delta]

Yeah so that means I got the right to tell them to go fuck themselves when they scam me ?

[ebon pilot]

you're assuming, stop it

[mental delta]

Sure they make games for their own interests but if they want the community to stop shitting on them maybe they should stop shitting on it as well

[copper hull]

Crabs 🦀 you fine my bro 🫂
What happened today you seem a little mad

[mental delta]

I did it again, I shitted on the game bro

I'm sorry

It's just crackhead Mackay skin

It pissed me off

Then I went asshole over people again

[full burrow]

caring about skins was probably your first mistake lol

[copper hull]

It's fine bro

I just never saw you being little🤏 heated because you always chill bro

[mental delta]

I mean fuck those skins still, but people here don't want to see that so I shouldn't have said that in the first place

[mental delta]

I guess we all have our moments bro, Mackay crackhead skin might have been a trigger for me

[copper hull]

Happens bro with everyone

[spare quest]

Mackay should get a gnome skin

What is this week 3 of the battle pass with 4 weeks left ?
Would now be a decent enough time to get into it and possibly finish it ?

[chilly jacinth]

huh

theres 11 weeks left

[last oar]

Ok

How about the second question

[solid imp]

You can finish the bp just fine if you start now given most missions can be completed in later weeks.. just won't get that 10 point weekly bonus mission but all the rest can be done at any time

Sigh.. now what do I do? Specialist mastery goes past 999. I said I would take a break from Rao when I got there.

[last oar]

Become pilot only

[robust vapor]

piloting fun

not fun when everyone on the enemy team decides to hunt you down

[last oar]

I can relate to that

I am a highly effective sniper and eventually after a couple head pops in a spot and a relocation it can become a manhunt

I use blasco so no spots allowed . Helps me stay outta sight in plain sight

[next onyx]

Play another specialist or just keep maining rao. Shits broken.

I'd say the sidearm

You don't see anyone using 412 rex

[last oar]

Oh yes m1911 has always been my bf go to and it's always reliable

I like sidearm in general

[crystal marsh]

did they nerf bipods in this game they don't seem to help with recoil much

[last oar]

Aslong as it's reliable

[drowsy shuttle]

M39 used to be the best but I think they nerfed it months ago

[last oar]

It's not being set up

[patent pivot]

The recoil shake

I know

It's shit

[crystal marsh]

no it is

[last oar]

Lol what

[patent pivot]

Even with bipod,

[drowsy shuttle]

But was OP at one point

[patent pivot]

Damn thing still shakes violently

[last oar]

You think guns stay completely still even with a bipod?

No it doesn't

[crystal marsh]

lmg with bipod has more recoil than ak 5c

[patent pivot]

Vault lmg with bipod still managed

Somehow, m39 isn't

This isn't right

[robust vapor]

you can tho

just install 2 anchors under the gun

the gun won't shake

[last oar]

Lol

[robust vapor]

you will

that being said it's more like you need a heavy tripod for the gun to not shake

[last oar]

The difference from non bipod and bipod is so huge the benefit is there

[crystal marsh]

i dont see it

[last oar]

That's a skill issue

It's very obvious

Plus with a bipod you don't even have to manage your breathe

[drowsy shuttle]

Why use a bipod in the first place? Who needs a bipod?

[last oar]

Very obvious

[crystal marsh]

i like lmgs

[last oar]

I use a bipod rarely

If I HAVE to go prone

Windows can be nice but not for too long

I like how the mp28 literally translates to maschinepistol 28 yet only has single shot fire mode

Oh it's the ss p320

That's a writing 3rror

[pine roost]

Might be the visual shake you’re seeing. I’ve literally never used a bipod in this aside from once with the pkp, but when I did the difference was very noticeable

[robust vapor]

bro must think the bipod is useless

I use bipod sometimes on lmgs

[last oar]

Boosters are automatic right

Why am I nit seeing it's symbol in the top right

[pine roost]

Yeah they’ll activate immediately, but only count down during gameplay

[last oar]

I see

[crystal marsh]

you can do that without the bipod

[pine roost]

Which is pretty nice

[crystal marsh]

am I going crazy

[chilly jacinth]

its easier to tap fire lmg with bipod

but yes you can do it without

[crystal marsh]

then what's the use for lmgs

[pine roost]

Large mags

[crystal marsh]

tap fire tfw

[pine roost]

Basically it

[worldly wolf]

The mp28 is based off the flxu defense mp17 which is a carbine chassis for the sig m17/p320
Ingame the m17 is called the m28

Which explains why its called mp28 ingame

Although it probably shouldve been called the mp27

Sorey for some of the typo i still havent figured out how to turn on autocorrect on this phone

[pine roost]

Up the number cause future

A really odd thing happened tonight...I've actually had FUN while gaming tonight. First time in ages!!!

[mental delta]

Missions get harder over the weeks like someone pointed it out here, missions for week 11 are gonna be some crazy shit

[granite thunder]

https://youtube.com/shorts/CMZ8syoA9Fs?si=3DUWIMGROd9abTVf

[mental delta]

It doesn't disable vehicle's weaponry though

[cursive granite]

does anyone knows were i can submit a bug report?

[chilly jacinth]

EA forums

[verbal sleet]

yeah i'm sure they will get to it

[arctic grove]

[stone cradle]

[mighty holly]

[visual mango]

Yoo

Just got the game. can anyone tell me how to solo kill air and land vehicles?

[last willow]

Lis specialist

Fire guided rockets, C5, etc

2 C5 placed on the rear of heavy armored vehicles kills them

takes 3 everywhere else

[full burrow]

yeah liz is great for that, you can use her to pressure vehicles even if they arnt in your line of sight, just gotta get to know what angles to fire the rocket initially as its turning isnt great

against helicopters unless they are very shit (like just sitting still) you will likely need to use the boost functions on the rocket to close distance quicker which might require some prediction

but I would start practising as youll get the hang of it soon enough, any good pilot will mostly be able to avoid your rocket as its fairly slow travelling and is very advertised

but the boost will help make that connection

[rotund kite]

shows me a single atom and wants me to guess what animal it is

[visual mango]

I hate how you can’t see throw smoke with thermal

[patent pivot]

Somebody at dice doesn't know how it works

[visual mango]

I did get the game 2 days ago still don’t know anything about it

[patent pivot]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[chilly jacinth]

it was a balance decision to not make thermals op

[stone cradle]

People when I tell someone that they're overreacting over the new Mackay skin

[arctic grove]

reddit user reply

[visual mango]

Thx 🫡

[amber kelp]

I do tire of people saying that I should not care when DICE makes the game uglier

Being annoyed when they add more clown skins isnt overreating, its having taste

[full burrow]

taste at the cost of brains

skins have 0 practical benefit, this is a shooter game, therefore skins are irrelevant

[amber kelp]

There are more things that make a game fun than just the gameplay

[full burrow]

ummmmm sure

[amber kelp]

Generally there are 4:
Competition, Simulation, Vertigo, and Chance.
The second one is the important one here. Simulation is fun, its fun to walk around realistic maps, its fun to see the environment change when you interact with it, its fun to be immersed.
When you add ugly shit to a game, you harm that part of it. You make it less fun.

[full burrow]

maps are part of gameplay

[amber kelp]

"it doesnt effect gameplay" isnt wrong, its just short sighted

[amber kelp]

if I painted the sand blue, it would not change the gameplay. But it would no longer feel like a real place

[full burrow]

I cant say ive ever actually noticed a skin in game, be it a character skin, weapon or idk

[amber kelp]

good for you

[full burrow]

that depends on the rest of the map tbh

with good map design and a good thought proces one could easily make blue sand look good

[amber kelp]

Yeah if its an alien planet. Im talking about a place like hourglass

[full burrow]

night time + light projection thru coloured glass could make sand look blue

[amber kelp]

JFC
Broad daylight, crayola blue sand.

thats the example

[silk surge]

I genuinely dislike Haven

[stone cradle]

More people replying to me and calling me a corporate simp

[mental delta]

Bro don't scroll up messages please, you'll get a opinion on Crabs if you do so

[stone cradle]

like how tasty they are?

[full burrow]

as long as the rest of the map is colour balanced compared to the blue so everything is still clearly visible I have 0 problem with blue sand

[visual mango]

Nothing wrong with skins 😂

[mental delta]

I've seen you on Reddit today

[amber kelp]

then you have no taste.

[mental delta]

More like how polite and calm they are

[stone cradle]

[silk surge]

Ayeah :laugh: I'm there way too often

[full burrow]

or im not close minded enough to dismiss gameplay value based on a colour

[mental delta]

Lol yes not the first time I see you on it

[full burrow]

Forced immersion never works, you can try as hard as you like to make something look and feel right but if the gameplay is shit you will never feel immersed. If the gameplay is good however then your own brain will immerse yourself in your surroundings

you think people didnt feel immersion back when shit was ugly as fuck blocky/pixel graphics?

[amber kelp]

Nah flat out youreopinion is discarded. Theres more to a game than just the gameplay. If you can look at an example designed to be as hideous as possible and say "oh yeah I dont care", then all you push for is apathy.

[stone cradle]

What kind of comparison is that

[full burrow]

I mean you actually care about skins so its not like your opinion really matters either

[mental delta]

I only got 1 thing to say

Fuck skins

[chilly jacinth]

racist

[mental delta]

Now I hope it'll begin some open conflict

[stone cradle]

With no cosmetics how will they make money

[mental delta]

Please debate and have conflictual conversations

Create chaos

[amber kelp]

Some context.
i said this "Simulation is fun, its fun to walk around realistic maps..."
He replied with this "maps are part of gameplay"
So i felt the need to clarify that I was not referring to the gameplay of maps with that statement

[full burrow]

I mean, you say blue sand MUST BE UGLY, I say that I can find a way to make blue sand work

[mental delta]

By selling a full priced finished games with such a fair quantity of content and such a good gameplay that a lot of people are gonna buy it to the point game is rentable ?

Crabs on copium

[amber kelp]

you miss the point entirely

Seemingly deliberatley

[stone cradle]

They'll make money once with that, not again

[full burrow]

your talking about skins as if they matter, the is no point to miss or take xD

[stone cradle]

And map packs split up the player base anyways and nobody would buy them if they introduced them again now

Live service is the best option

[full burrow]

your imersion is broken by one skin you dont like? my imersion is broken by the fact skins exists I HAVE SUFFERED MORE

[amber kelp]

And map packs split up the player base anyways
pretty much every DLC is still playable I dont know where this meme comes from.
Even BF3 and that game has like 3 servers

BF1 had this shit figured out

[stone cradle]

I can barely find games on dlc maps with BF1

[mental delta]

BF1 didn't have the current skins system and surely brought them a lot of incomes, sure it had the battlepacks but not a lot of people were buying those so they were just making money out of game's sales and DLCs

[amber kelp]

Really? I find more mixed servers than vanilla ones

[stone cradle]

And it's not a meme, players genuinely won't buy map packs these days because they've gotten used to free content.

[patent pivot]

And admins hate dlc

And other modes than conquest

[stone cradle]

Good luck on introducing someone new to the game too and convincing them to spend another $40 alongside the $70 because "these maps are good bro"

[full burrow]

during their prime, games have no problem with population on new maps - if people are trying to play 5-10 years later and dont want to buy old new expansions its their own fault

[mental delta]

Very paradoxically those are the same players who are gonna buy 50€ worth of skins every month

[patent pivot]

We have alternate sites for cheaper dlc keys

[amber kelp]

even now both BF4 and BF1 have very well populated DLCs

[stone cradle]

Whales will exist in either type of content

[full burrow]

yeah plus im pretty sure you can just wait for a sale and buy the expansion pass for like 20 giving you all access

[stone cradle]

Look at BF1 lootboxes

[patent pivot]

I got bf3 DLC for $6

[full burrow]

I know not everyone is made of money but at the end of the day if its a good product, its worth that much

[chilly jacinth]

no

[ebon pilot]

if you bought it you decided it was worth it

[stone cradle]

Yeah, wait 5 months from the drop of the dlc to buy it, great idea

[ebon pilot]

that's economics

[stone cradle]

That won't benefit dice at all now that everyone is used to free content

[mental delta]

I think they should keep the free maps system so it doesn't split the platerbase and make us pay for everything else. Like 15 new guns ? 10€in your ass bitch. 2 new vehicles ? Take those 5€ in your face motherfucker.

[full burrow]

the pass gives you access to all DLC when they release, you buy it before everything is out

[amber kelp]

If you bought it you thought it would be worth it. Buyers remorse exists

[stone cradle]

Maybe if everyone else suddenly went back to paid dlc it would work. But people are forgetting that good live service games exist like Fortnite.

[full burrow]

did you just compare fornite to battlefield?

[mental delta]

Well we take Fortnite skins cash and make maps out of it instead of shitty skins

Fair trade

[patent pivot]

You better hope they include ALL content when the game is ending

That's my worry

I'm serious

[mental delta]

Everyone disagreing is g... I don't want to get banned but you got me

[amber kelp]

They could use "no live service" as a large selling point. For people who are sick of it, it could make BF6 very appealing

[full burrow]

crab sticks are real crab

[stone cradle]

I don't see it at all

[chilly jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/clueless-gif-24395495

[buoyant lake]

am i bad or does this AEK kick like a motherfucker

[mental delta]

Fortnite is terrible live service, sure game is rentable but there are so many dumb skins like shit that should never have been in here lol

[ebon pilot]

who tf would buy a game because the devs said they won't support it past launch?

[full burrow]

when portal weapons first released, they were super unbalanced (shit) I think they did some work on that but a lot of attachements are still missing

[stone cradle]

They're dumb to you, but they rake in the most money

[full burrow]

I cant speak for that gun in particular but portal weps will likely just never be as good as real one

[buoyant lake]

yeah the options i have are a 4 times sight and no grip

[patent pivot]

Can you agree Fortnite used to be good

[amber kelp]

Well think about it. Think about how many people are sick of these types of services. If, say, BF6 announces it will do a premium model it will be the only AAA fps game where can people can avoid that model. They can lean into that.

[kindred flint]

youre using a 4x scope and wondering why a weapon has a bunch of recoil?

[ebon pilot]

there's like 4 of em

[full burrow]

actually fortnite live service is amazing, but the game is designed for children to use parents cards for shiny things - and also fornite maps have a TON of content

[stone cradle]

Nah obviously people would love to spend even more money on top of $70 in 2025 to get some maps instead of playing literally any other game and get that content for free

[full burrow]

but fornite isnt owned by EA who we know are greedy as fuck

they will never give you "value"

[kindred flint]

fortnite skins are umm...kinda pricy though

[amber kelp]

get that content for free
Maybe if live services actually gave as much as premium. But they dont, they drip feed little content, then make the game look ugly as hell.

[ancient peak]

Is the G428 worth using?

[kindred flint]

f2p game where you can spend what $20-30 on a skin bundle?

[torpid wadi]

Me on my way to use a free ps+ skin

[chilly jacinth]

its good

[stone cradle]

I just mentioned Fortnite. That's live service

[kindred flint]

its the only other full auto marksman rifle so yes

[mental delta]

Sure but it's not beccause it makes a lot of cash that it's not stupid

[buoyant lake]

look some guns are bearable with it

[stone cradle]

COD for all it's faults gets consistent content too

[kindred flint]

unless you macro vcar which im told cant happen

[mental delta]

Yeah but it has Kong and Godzilla in it so fuck that shit lol

[amber kelp]

This newest CoD game, gulf war right? Normally that would peak my interest but I cant bring myself to care. Because I know its live service, and I know they will destroy the game's art style with stupid skins within a few seasons.

[full burrow]

Dont forget, with previous battlefield games, you had the main game which was pretty good, say BF4, BF1 - and a premium pass with you could get for £20 gives you several years worth of extra DLCs, that is NOT a lot to spend in perspective for what games cost to buy/the gameplay value of those games

[stone cradle]

people who play the game love it. So I can't blame them going full on ridiculous with the skins

[kindred flint]

no the newest game isnt gulf war, its just another way to prop up warzone thats the actual cod game youre paying for

[amber kelp]

yeah thats the thing: what is the point of the gulf war setting if im going to be shooting darth vader and furries in a few months anyway.

[kindred flint]

months? try weeks

[amber kelp]

"its just cosmetic bro"

[buoyant lake]

warzone is quite an expensive f2p game huh

[kindred flint]

gulf war wont even have a single player anyways right? its the same shit as mw3...warzone map sections with some bullshit "single player mission"

[amber kelp]

I havent looked too much into the details because the live service turned me off immediatley

[full burrow]

still warzone CAN be played f2p, you just gotta grind your guns in warzone not in a standard lobby - if you are playing with friends anyway you are way supperior to groups of randoms

[buoyant lake]

this world tour mode kinda slaps ngl

[stone cradle]

So you don't like basically any multiplayer game released in the last 5 years?

[buoyant lake]

except when it makes me play 1942

[amber kelp]

yes

[ebon pilot]

it's funny how you say live service when you really mean cosmetics

[amber kelp]

I cannot think of a AAA mp fps in the last 5 years that was good

[stone cradle]

But but, the grittyness!! The milsim!!

[amber kelp]

They kinda go hand in hand.

[ebon pilot]

not really

[stone cradle]

"Battlefield must be my dream ultra-realistic milsim fps and I refuse to acknowledge other games exist that more tailor to my interests now"

[buoyant lake]

milsim in 2024

time for your pills old man

[full burrow]

squad is a pretty nice middle ground

[amber kelp]

M8 I dont want my game to be ugly this is not some high standard

[ebon pilot]

my game

he's delusional

kill him

[amber kelp]

If I buy it, its my copy of the game

If you buy, you have a copy of the game

[full burrow]

letting PEOPLE customise their skins and not making the game ugly is kinda mutually exclusive

[stone cradle]

You literally can't notice the Mackay skin unless you go up and close to them. Battlefield is fast paced so in reality you won't be able to tell 90% the time

How is that ugly?

[chilly jacinth]

fun fact

you dont actually own the game

[amber kelp]

"its not ugly if you dont pay attention to it"

[amber kelp]

yeah yeah yeah I dont care

[stone cradle]

He's living up to his username

[full burrow]

more like if your taking the time to actually look at someones skin youre probably dead cos this is supposed to be a shoot first kinda game

not admire the bunny ears then shoot

[stone cradle]

I mean you end up being at a larger disadvantage anyways if you pick a skin that it's bright and colourful. Easy food for the snipers

[amber kelp]

this is what bothers me, it always boils down to people championing apathy. Its never about how these make the game better, its always about how you shouldnt care, how you shouldnt have taste.

[full burrow]

bro what if people actually like that skin

if you have skins in a game they are going to vary

chances are you wont like them all

[stone cradle]

No way, you're telling me that if they only make military uniform skins they'd run out of ideas and just make all of them recolours?

[full burrow]

pink cammo for when im deep in that P***Y

[ebon pilot]

not even insurgency sandstorm is immune to funny skins

[stone cradle]

People already throwed a fiss over the S6 geist-themed skins even though it fit well with the theme of the season

[amber kelp]

which is why the problem is the model. There is a monetary incentive to make the game uglier.
Thats why Id prefer to just buy a bunch of maps.

[stone cradle]

And over the premium S6 skins because they 'looked silly' even though they were tacticool

There's no pleasing this crowd without having boring skins which means no one will buy them.

[buoyant lake]

guys among the ars what’s the most uncontrollable gun

i have a craving for something that spins out of control

[ebon pilot]

am40

[kindred flint]

either the am or the aek

[amber kelp]

which is why people have a problem with the model itself

[stone cradle]

By people you mean minority

Because I don't see people on social media protesting live service

[buoyant lake]

have to play portal for the aek

[chilly jacinth]

you dont

[stone cradle]

No one in real life seems to be pissed either

It's better for the consumer too

[amber kelp]

I see way more people who dislike this stuff than like it.
But I guess thats just a loud minority (despite nobody having data to prove that)

[full burrow]

HOW in the actual fuck has this "live service" been better for the consumer?

[stone cradle]

I mean it could just be because your surrounded yourself with echo chambers and was convinced it's the absolute majority

[amber kelp]

"muh free content"
-1 map in 6 months

[stone cradle]

Good and fun live service is more beneficial for the consumer than traditional map packs and dlc

[full burrow]

Poorest game quality at launch compared so other bf titles, poorest additional content compared to other bf titles

[kindred flint]

you just unlock those guns in a bot lobby in 1 round ..shits easy

[stone cradle]

man literally actively ignores my points

[patent pivot]

YOU think old games in the 2000s deserved live service??

[amber kelp]

Its pretty ubiquitous.

[ebon pilot]

4

[stone cradle]

BF4 was completely fine on launch wdym?

[full burrow]

Im not saying its impossible for live service to work well but it clearly hasnt, you cant just jump on a bangwagon, battlefield should have stuck to its own ways of doing things

[full burrow]

did it have a scoreboard?

[ebon pilot]

did it fucking launch???

[kindred flint]

best joke this entire discussion

[buoyant lake]

did it have playable lobbies

[stone cradle]

I'm saying live service if executed well is very good

Again, look at Fortnite

People kept on saying Fortnite will die someday, still hasn't almost 8 years later

[ebon pilot]

2042 would've fucking sucked at launch no matter what approach they took, live service or otherwise

[amber kelp]

Im not. you seem to be incapable of comprehending the idea that some people may prefer the older system if it can guarantee both more content and a better quality game by the end.

[full burrow]

can be true but thats not an absolute, im saying some games will work better with live service, some wont

[ebon pilot]

just like 4

[stone cradle]

Lol imagine them asking $20 for 4 maps post-launch, fanbase would be enraged and call DICE 'greedy'

"they should give us that content for free!!"

[full burrow]

battlefield really has no need for a live service model. Rotating game modes? For the first 2 years ish or w/e of this game I stopped playing every 2 weeks because my game mode was out of rotation due to the live service model

[mental delta]

We have to make them cease to exist bro

[ancient peak]

What attachments do I want on it then?

[mental delta]

I don't want 1 map after 6 months either just like they did with season 1 and then with season 7

[stone cradle]

Rotating game modes indeed suck, but this choice was for 'maximising engagement'

[patent pivot]

I agree with limited time, rotation mode BS

[amber kelp]

No you see spending $15 for the content of 4 seasons is incomprehensible. Instead its better to spend $10 every season on a progression system designed to be bad

[full burrow]

never happened before, it was part of their live service model, fortnite isnt designed that it gets a sequel every few years, its just there and its f2p

it was just an attempt to do less but get more money due to skin sales

[mental delta]

It was related to core of the game not system itself yes , like the gameplay alone and the general atmosphere wasn't what people expected and even if game released in decent state it would probably still have known a lot of criticism

[stone cradle]

Oh yeah true. Something like suicide squad didn't need to be live service

[ebon pilot]

you don't have to buy the premium pass if you don't want cosmetics

[amber kelp]

I also dont have to play the game

[ebon pilot]

THEN DO IT

[amber kelp]

what do you think I do pizza

[mental delta]

10€ for 2 maps, 1 vehicle and 3 guns is painful considering those are free and BP is just skins lol

[kindred flint]

i ran wrapped/warhawk, bcg grip, standard extended, and the 1.5 scope for the most part

[stone cradle]

Nutter wants to both not 'use ugly cosmetics' and want said cosmetics for free

[ancient peak]

Thanks

[amber kelp]

Do you think I spend all my time on 42 and then complain about 42? No. I go over to a good BF game instead
I simply hope that the next BF game is actually worth my time

[ebon pilot]

im assuming you still play the game because i always see you talking in here

after all why would someone talk in a game chat for a game they don't fucking play?

[stone cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/kekw-dow-gif-24856862

[amber kelp]

Because I play 1 and 4 actively, and because discussion here is usually relevant to the next game

[ebon pilot]

so what you're saying is... we need a chat for the next game!

[full burrow]

but bf1 doesnt have historically accurate people at the relevant fronts

[amber kelp]

that would be great actually

[stone cradle]

We desperately need one, I just want 2042 chat to be the chat where people actually play 2042.

Also I apologise for probably being the trigger of this whole 'debate'

[last oar]

I di

[stone cradle]

won't be sending reddit comments here again, it attracts the wrong kind of discussion all the time

[amber kelp]

bragging about reddit comments is kinda sad in principle

I'm surprised they didn't put the Barrett as a vault weapon

[full burrow]

In conclusing the live service model is amazing as long as the skins are realistic

[last oar]

Iconic

[amber kelp]

wake me up when AAA actually does that

[stone cradle]

what's that gun again?

I'm bad with guns, sorry

[amber kelp]

the 50cal sniper

[full burrow]

I was being sarcastic, both live service and skins are trash xD

[last oar]

Was In several games back in the day

[amber kelp]

Im dumb theres a different barrette. Its looks like the 50cal tho

[stone cradle]

Yeah I tend to remember the maps much more than the guns

[mental delta]

Don't be sorry bro you created a chaotic debate which got people triggered and made them dive into some strange argument, it's the whole point of the internet, debate about shitty things with people you don't even know, you just used internet like the creators intended

[stone cradle]

I played so much BFV - more than 600 hours, but I can't name more than 3 games from the game lmao.

[last oar]

As a bf veteran but new to ps5 and 2042 this game isn't so bad

[ebon pilot]

i thought it was intended for porn

[last oar]

I played a lot of bf1

surely chatting shit is the proper conduct for people in discord with nothing better to do

[mental delta]

It isn't so good either

[amber kelp]

wait do you mean the pickup weapon or the M98B

[stone cradle]

you're right

[mental delta]

Yo WTF bro ? Even Crabs wouldn't go on that field

[last oar]

82A1

[mental delta]

Yeah I mean it's the whole point lol

[last oar]

The .50

No lapua

[amber kelp]

its probably not there because 42 doesnt have a pickup weapon system.

[last oar]

I enjoy the future theme

Predicted programming a little

Ha

[full burrow]

we are all pronstars in a way cos of how hard ea FUCKED us with the live service model

[last oar]

What is this live service model

[stone cradle]

Yeah I wish they went more into it

[mental delta]

Nah we're literally low cost prostitues dude

Because why would we buy such a game to begin with ?

[full burrow]

they think that rotating game modes and giving season eclusive skins ect is what battlefield needs to live on and prosper

[stone cradle]

Like we only have a robot dog, I want actual mechs you can call in

[amber kelp]

2042 is somewhat unlucky because not even 6 months after it launched Modern war got completely redefined

[last oar]

Oh

[mental delta]

Wdym ?

[last oar]

They're forsaking this game design in the next and returning to the old ways

No more specialists and back stories

[stone cradle]

Free content(maps etc) with optional battle pass if you want cosmetics. That's basically it

[full burrow]

instead of releasing a game and then working on DLC, we get everything for free in the live service model over time

[last oar]

Haven't you read leaks

[full burrow]

except by everything I mean basically nothing

[amber kelp]

well 42 is trying to predict war. 6 months later Ukraine happened, which completely changed what people thought a modern war would be like.

[mental delta]

Bruh they better not make any specialists anymore because we're gonna have a fucking problem, a fucking problem...

[last willow]

do tell

[stone cradle]

Those aren't leaks, but rumours, but yeah they finally have good direction again hopefully

[last oar]

The next bf is already confirmed

Google that ish

[ebon pilot]

except for the anime stickers those turned out to be real

[last oar]

Bf4 and bc2 design returning

Ww2.1

[mental delta]

I don't think this game really tries to predict war, for other BF games maybe but personally I just think of this game as a try to make it look like what's being currently made in the FPS genre

[last oar]

WW 2.1

[stone cradle]

And people dressing up as spiderman and batman and shooting rpgs

[amber kelp]

The BF3 meme strat of slapping c4 to a drone turned out to be the most accurate prediction ever

[mental delta]

Leaks

[last willow]

leeks

[full burrow]

this was in 2042 for a while until it was nerfed

its so sad when devs dont learn from previous mistakes

[last oar]

Prob coming this October

[last willow]

not until 2025

[mental delta]

Lmao 0% chances bro like 0%

[stone cradle]

Casper was so good back then

[last oar]

The devs have spoken on it already

[stone cradle]

Poor lad has been nerfed to oblivion now

[last oar]

I'd go read instead of whining

[amber kelp]

Probably not releasing this year

[mental delta]

It means nothing, they just spoke up a little bit on it because people were so upset about BF2042 that they had to lol

[full burrow]

they have run out of things in nerf in game so they just neft their own map designs now

[last oar]

Fiscal 2025 is this year

[last willow]

spoken like a true 16 yo

[mental delta]

They made him fucking dirty

[last oar]

Ree

[last willow]

lol

[mental delta]

Next game isn't ready lol, campaign isn't even finished

[full burrow]

remember when we were told about an amazing new infantry close quaters map and then got a container ship full of containers that covers 2 points

[last oar]

No kidding

[amber kelp]

Im curious about the PMC thing. Probably just a euphemized version of Russia but could be something unique
(or worst case scenario the PMC is all the 2042 specialists)

[full burrow]

and someone reaaaally fell in love with containers man

reusing assets 101

[stone cradle]

PMC? You mean the TPC?

[last oar]

Vent to us. Feel better

[full burrow]

you mean chokepoint online

[amber kelp]

Reusing assets is fine and normal. The problem is that 2042 wants to set every map in a new location, so if you want reusable assets you need something very generic. So, shipping containers

[amber kelp]

Nah the recent rumors/leaks is that the next BF game is NATO vs "a giant private millitary corporation"

[full burrow]

I get why they reuse assets, its a lot of hard work making this game for just 5.5 people

[tidal hornet]

i just saw the trailer for season 7 wheres the invisible bomber in the menu

i havent played in a couple seasons

[amber kelp]

All the BF games do this. It just feels more natural in many of the others.
Like BF1 has tons of maps in france, and so they will use the same walls, windmills, and houses etc. Its mostly a practical thing

[mental delta]

They made some surveys about it on Twitter, Lehto asked if people preferred more maps with only 3 or 4 different locations (which I totally do lol) or if they preferred less maps but with more different locations (which losers totally do lol)

[chilly jacinth]

will be added in 7.2

with the lmg

[tidal hornet]

k

[last oar]

Any of you actually playing

[mental delta]

Where have you see that boyyyyyy ?

[amber kelp]

Definitley the former. I also think the former makes for better worlbuilding

[tidal hornet]

is the rm68 still good

[amber kelp]

Recent tom henderson tweet.
So, take with a grain of salt

[stone cradle]

New? Never heard of this before

[full burrow]

yeah but those maps seem to make a lot more "sense" and they look and feel good. 2042 maps are ass no matter what assets they use

[mental delta]

Of course it does, it even makes each game look unique, like it's set in some special locations and another game is set in another one

[amber kelp]

this is from 3 hours ago

[stone cradle]

damn I'll check his twitter then

[mental delta]

Yeah I'd say keep away from that mf lol

[mental delta]

Stop copying me bro please

[full burrow]

Its versus Dinsey and you get buy donald duck skins and so on

[amber kelp]

He's generally reliable, if you understand how leaks work. You cant take it as a certain cause he cant be sure, hes just the messenger

[amber kelp]

NATO vs Electronic Arts death squads

[stone cradle]

Tom Henderson (@_Tom_Henderson_) on X

@DANNYonPC Next one is currently NATO vs a massive private military

Twitter · Apr 6, 2024, 2:12 PM

Could be because of this perhaps?

[amber kelp]

theres a decent chance the PMC is just a euphemized Russia.
And you cant do China for obvious reasons

[mental delta]

YOUR WHAT ??? YOUR FUCKING WHAT ???

[amber kelp]

this is the leak for 2042

[mental delta]

Sometimes he tells a lot of bullshit but you can't always be right lol

[mental delta]

Ho fucking shit thanks I was having a stroke

[stone cradle]

Yeah he did hype up 2042 and said it would 'destroy COD'

[amber kelp]

what a leak is, usually, is an unannounced plan. The plan can always change or fall apart

[last oar]

2042 > mw3

[amber kelp]

I feel like the "PMC" angle could be either a really plausible scenario or one of the goofiest.
If its about a nation like China or Russia using PMCs to avoid a nuclear war, then its plausible. If its the atlas corporation from cod its gonna be goofy as hell

[mental delta]

Currently it's just rumours as there isn't any official repport or any image

[kindred flint]

55-10, 27 revives 136 respplies 12 caps....and my team fucking throws away this redacted victory at the end and we get 4 capped fucking worthless cunts

[mental delta]

Having a PMC instead of a real nation could mean we'll get "operators" this time

Same shit as specialists but with no special gadgets

So everything people hated with BF2042

[kindred flint]

but hey the close quarters extended + type 6 suppressor on the 5c is hilariously fun on that map

[mental delta]

The NATO thing also tells me that this could have "operators" even more as NATO is literally made of multiple countries

So just imagine some "operators" system like on COD I guess

[amber kelp]

[amber kelp]

Now this could work if they are still nameless. Like lets say you can choose "US, UK, France, etc" as if they were "operators"

It'd still be a bit goofy but plausble

[mental delta]

Like there's a French operator called "Dupont" or shit like this with a special shitty fake French accent, special clothes only him can have and shit like this, there are some UK operators called "John" and "Bonny" and they have strong English accent and they wear some UK national flag patch on their shoulder, and then there's maybe Australian dude called "Dereck" and this one hates "Bonny" cause she's English and if you give her health as "Dereck" she'll just insult you or shit like this

Idk maybe I should stop crack

[full burrow]

or we could stop caring about graphics and animations for once and focus on the engine, gameplay. netcode ect

[amber kelp]

Por que no los dos?

[mental delta]

If they're nameless and got not special attraits but you just have to choose their nationality for the uniform then I'm all-in for it, otherwise fuck it

[amber kelp]

I may be huffing copium, but it could be really cool if it was some NATO volunteer force inspired by Chosen Company

[mental delta]

Chosen Company ?

[amber kelp]

Chosen company is an international volunteer company in Ukraine. They have become somewhat famous for being constantly in the shit, and will post combat footage

[mental delta]

Lol you'll never gonna see shit like this in a game

They'll just avoid anything related to IRL actual conflict which is right imo

They even renamed some Boris skin because it was referring ti invasion of Crimea

[amber kelp]

Obviously not the actual one, but if its a fictional unit inspired by it?
It seems to be exactly the type of unit DICE would want as a faction. Tons of nations fighting right next to eachother

[ebon pilot]

Choosen Company sounds like the exodus no-pats

[mental delta]

Idk I just think they should go for a nation thing like all BF prior to BF2042

You know the nation changes depending of the map

It was literally the best option

Random nation each match could be fun as well

[stone cradle]

This synopsis sounds like the og mw2/3

Which honestly might be from Zampella directing it

Who made those games

[mental delta]

Like you got 3 "good" factions which are US, UK and maybe EU, and then you have 3 "bad" factions which are Russia, South America coalition and Middle East coalition and those are chosen randomly each match

[chilly jacinth]

zampella didnt direct mw2

[mental delta]

Which synopsis ?
