battlefield-2042

[worldly wolf]

I was watching some 2042 gameplay from 2 years ago and I noticed that the gun plays differently compared to how it does in s3-s6

(I started playing at s3)

S3 is what makes me love the game tbh

Exposure is a pretty fun map imo and the weapons are unique semi futuristic space shit

[slate meadow]

Where is deco when you need him

[copper ice]

4 different launcher options for 2 specialists

and 1 of those specialists is useless

crawford doing some heavy lifting

its not because he feels like it should, its because he hit them with all the ammo from the gadget designed specifically to counter it lol

if the transport has fucked up enough that it gets hit 3 times by AA rockets it should die regardless of how many ants it has blowtorching the inside of the doors

alternatively the rockets should kill people on the inside so they cant continue outrepairing the damage

or repair rate could slow after being hit, or repairs could be slower, or repairs not have infinite ammo, or, or, etc

its wonderful that they finally nerfed flares but idk how much a 15% difference will make

[full burrow]

with flairs I feel like the last 2 flares if not 4 that fire are a bit extra. The immunity time they get in relation to the air vehicles potential speed and range of launches means they get to just safely go away if thats what they want to

[violet otter]

Slow motion?

[drowsy iron]

Yeah the character movement is pretty weird. The movement is so slow even the guns seems slow motion

But the other player runs smoothly

[violet otter]

Not sure maybe low framerate?

[drowsy iron]

No Its 60fps

https://youtu.be/KLAaoY-wU5k?si=m_AWNY6msUWJZifQ

This video is for the example

My network is also fine

[vocal tusk]

There is an warning message showing in the top left of your screen

Can't make it out on mobile

[chilly jacinth]

probably the high latency symbol

cause its in slowmo

[drowsy iron]

the symbol or the actual latency? because its only 72ms

[patent pivot]

God damn

Didn't know missile velocity is faster in SMG.rush

[chilly jacinth]

hmm nope its the low fps symbol actually

so something is tanking the framerate

[woven folio]

Does someone know why theres no double xp`?

[drowsy iron]

so disabling the symbol it will work?

[chilly jacinth]

no the symbol is telling you your fps is low

[violet otter]

What are your specs? Error in the corner looks like the low fps icon

Try playing on low settings and lowering the resolution and see if it helps

[drowsy iron]

but in nvidia monitor it says 60fps?

[drowsy iron]

Intel core i5-12450H
RTX 3050 4gb
8 DDR4 ram single channel

should i use dual channel ram?

[patent path]

yes you have to

the game will stutter like crazy with single channel ram

[violet otter]

8GB is not a lot to work with as well. 16GB is like the bare minimum for modern games

[chilly jacinth]

8gb single channel these days isnt good enough

[violet otter]

If you have another slot available try and get a second stick of ram or a set with two of the same modules

The rest of the specs seem ok enough

[patent pivot]

If you don't have dual channel by now

You fucked up

[violet otter]

Seems like a laptop as well if it’s a 12450h

[patent pivot]

And don't forget speed

[drowsy iron]

yes

[patent pivot]

If it's below at least 3000mh

[drowsy iron]

i didnt know this game would be have much requirement because you know Battlefield V is also modern games but its still playable.

[violet otter]

Even with the second stick of ram it might not perform the best but should be 30-60 most of the time.

Also important that it’s in an SSD

[patent path]

get another 8gb stick and you should be fine for the most parts

[patent pivot]

Best I can do is SATA SSD

[patent path]

sata ssd is fine for gaming

difference in load time is like 3 seconds

[patent pivot]

[patent pivot]

Dead space recommends nvme SSD

Crazy I know

[violet otter]

If you play 2042 on PS4 or XB1 literally takes like 5 minutes for the textures to load in from the hdd lol

[patent pivot]

[acoustic seal]

manufacturers have been producing dogshit sata ssds since covid

samsung drives are failing, crucial mx500 drives have been failing

[patent pivot]

Time for pre owned ssd

[acoustic seal]

very "buyer beware" if you won't/can't do nvme

[patent path]

that's like telling people to go buy used toilet paper

[patent pivot]

I didn't say power supply

[patent path]

"cheap sdd, wiped only once"

[patent pivot]

What's the current nvme gen?

[patent path]

5

[patent pivot]

Probably this year or next

Probably will upgrade everything

Idk what's the middle spot for nvme

3?

[patent path]

4 is common now

[split ember]

https://help.ea.com/en/help/battlefield/battlefield-v/battlefield-v-connection-troubleshooting/

Here's a guide on what the icons mean. This is for Battlefield V but is the same for 2042

[patent pivot]

Speed?

[patent path]

fast

[acoustic seal]

i bought a hynix p31 2tb a week ago after sifting through a shit ton of ssd failure reports

[drowsy iron]

no no battlefield v in my laptop is fine

its playable

[vocal tusk]

BFV has a lower PC requirement

[acoustic seal]

p41 (gen 4) is available and not much more expensive but has been seeing mysterious slowdowns after some use

[split ember]

I'm saying look at the icon thats showing up on your 2042 game

[patent pivot]

If it's above 500mb,

[vocal tusk]

I dont even think this is their video, its from a year ago

[patent path]

if you buy from a reputable brand and not a mysterious chinese one, they are fast enough for gaming

[full burrow]

lowering resolution and/or Field of View will probably be your best bet to run the game, and stick to 64p max

[split ember]

ah right. If he's getting any symbols on the top left that might be an indicator of what needs to be sorted

[patent pivot]

My sata is from Blue gate

[woven folio]

Useless

[acoustic seal]

i was just about to ask who the "mysterious chinese" manufacturers are in the ssd space LOL

[drowsy iron]

Lenovo bro

[patent path]

those you find for 80% off on amazon which turns out to be just an sd card hidden inside a fake ssd chassis

[split ember]

Those specs are 'just' meeting the minimum requirements for running 2042. Try lowering your graphical settings. Reduce the anti aliasing option or try to switch it off. Switch off Ambient occlusion

[patent path]

"2TB SSD 25$ very cheap buy now!!!!"

[full burrow]

its the world famous SSD - Satay Sauce Drive

[violet otter]

I might have to pick up a 4TB one soon to keep up with these cod file sizes

[full burrow]

plus fps in this game fluctuates A LOT, so I would always play on low with and FPS lock unless you have really beefy specs

[patent pivot]

Are there B series boards that don't limit extra 2 pcie slots

[acoustic seal]

turn all settings to low except maybe texture quality, the game looks like shit anyway

[arctic grove]

MWIII is way better than 2042 wtf is this 🧢

[violet otter]

4GB vram I would imagine needs to be on low

[drowsy iron]

nah i prefer 2042

even the OG mw3 looks better

[acoustic seal]

oh i missed that lol

[split ember]

Yep. Nowadays even 8gb vram is being stretched out on modern games

[acoustic seal]

depressing

[violet otter]

8GB is pretty much bare minimum for upcoming games

[kindred flint]

Sorry I play Nvidia...there's more than 8gb of vram?

[patent path]

[patent pivot]

Can't worry about that if you don't like modern games

[violet otter]

3070 not really holding up so well anymore because of the low vram.

Basically a 1080p card now

[drowsy iron]

yeah it is. Forza Horizon 5 for example it runs smoothly

[patent pivot]

What's the size

8?

[violet otter]

Yes

[patent pivot]

Hey

Just got my 2070

[drowsy iron]

because the game optimization is godly

[patent pivot]

It's doing better than my 1060

[violet otter]

The cross gen games usually have a bit lower requirements

Because they had to make horizon 5 work on an original xb1

[next onyx]

Womder how 12 gigs of drama will hold up.

Veam

Ugh I hate this autocorrect.

[patent path]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-big-daniel-keem-dramaalert-keemstar-this-is-huge-gif-23976302

[kindred flint]

Will gta6 be ok on on a 3070

[violet otter]

Probably with low/medium textures at this point

[patent path]

it will be on the ps5

so yeah

the game will run like dogshit on all systems anyways

[violet otter]

PS5 can handle better textures than 3070 with shared 16GB

[patent path]

it has more memory but it's worse

so no

[violet otter]

All depends on the optimisation really.

[patent path]

now devs just use upscaling as a clutch

you can see from the gta6 trailer they have some sort of upscaling on and the actual res is like 460p

so I can only imagine it will run like dogshit when it's out

[violet otter]

Some games like last of us port look like shit on 8GB but Horizon forbidden west looks ok on 8GB if you don’t mind only up to 1440p in the best case

[full burrow]

yeah im not sure what to think of these dlss, fsr ect technologies

absolutely no no for multiplayer cos of ghosting and shit

but for single, idk what better, cos it still uses more GPU power right? so if you are gpu limited why use that instead of not using it and just setting say textures to one setting higher or something

[violet otter]

I usually put on DLSS quality mode if there is one

[full burrow]

im not sure what its like for differnt games, but trying it in some, it can look really good when youre standing still but as soon as you move everything is blurry

[violet otter]

I can’t even tell the difference

FSR just looks bad whenever I’ve used it

Some games like cyberpunk with the max Ray tracing you need DLSS3 on for even a playable framerate

[chilly jacinth]

its just gonna make devs even more complacent with optimisation

and its already really fucking bad

[violet otter]

I think the consoles and steam deck will help keep things in check to an extent because Ray tracing sucks on RDNA2

[full burrow]

yeah, i will never forget that changing weapons in the spawn menu in 2042 made my fps drop below 30 every time

not anymore but its attrocious that it was the case full stop yet alone for how long it was until they made it better

ive never used raytracing but I have 0 interest in it anyway

I cant stand how modern devs focus on graphics while neglecting actual gameplay and content

[violet otter]

It usually gets turned off especially in multiplayer games

They don’t even bother putting Ray tracing in cod anymore after Cold War

It was in that and 2019

[next onyx]

Only time I turned rt on and kept it on was during doom eternal.

But that games optimisation is literal black magic.

You could run it off the iGPU off a 5600g and still have a playable game.

[vocal tusk]

RT is pretty transformative in CP 2077 also. Same in Metro Exodus

[stone cradle]

The power of a well optimised game engine

Also Frostbite back in 2011 with BF3

I miss when BF looked like it was ahead of the competition

[next onyx]

ID tech under vulkan and a team that knew what they were doing was the perfect combo.

[robust vapor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Efj6ezjU278

TBH

Frontlines seems more interesting

It's like a tug-of-war

Conquest + Rush

[stone cradle]

Which is why I face-palm whenever people suggest BF should drop Frostbite and go to Unreal

[stone cradle]

Frontlines was always a mode back in BFV/1

Good to see it return, sad that it's limited time probably

[vocal tusk]

Frontlines is a better breakthrough

[stone cradle]

I loved it, better version of BT

[robust vapor]

128 Frontlines when

[stone cradle]

BT is such a mess in this game that they might as well scrap it and replace it with frontlines

[next onyx]

BT isn't bad but on 2042 it's kinda... eh

I love bt so much but it's not fun when matches are one sided as fuck.

[vocal tusk]

Defending is much more rewarding on frontlines vs breakthrough

Liek...both are attacking and defending...so its a much more player friendly game IMO

But on BT...you can have a clutch moment, get 5-8 kills, clear the point and defend it...then die to some random BS...and your team lose the point anyway seconds later

If you defend on frontlines and get a cap...you actually affect the game on either side

[stone cradle]

Maybe they're bringing back frontlines for player feedback so they can test if people prefer it instead of regular BT in the next Battlefield

[next onyx]

The only issue about bt is that it's really dependent who actually pushes.

[robust vapor]

that new SFAR skin looks really nice

[next onyx]

It's only fun when both sides are actually giving it their all. Though this applies to everything.

[vocal tusk]

I just find defending not fun. Cos the way this game is setup...is largely spawns both teams a similar distance from the cap points.

[robust vapor]

But then again I already got that legendary SFAR

don't think I need another one

[vocal tusk]

When the design should have defenders spawning near their defense area, and attackers spawning much further away

[next onyx]

Though bt I believe is more harshly affected as defence can be boring and attack can be frustrating when your side can't push.

[stone cradle]

Layouts are so bad for so many of the maps too

This game made me hate BT

[next onyx]

I need them all.

I remember bt well cause of bf5 so it's where my bias pops up.

Though I was a fucking cunt there.

[robust vapor]

tell me how it is when you got it equipped in game

[next onyx]

I had fun strafing people out of the landing crafts.

Of course.

[robust vapor]

Pacifier already took my spot

[next onyx]

Pacifier is super clean.

[robust vapor]

Draugyr tho

Can't wait

new DXR skin

[full burrow]

I used to like Rush and BT type game modes but I dont anymore as I feel they lack strategy. Not making much progress? Spam smoke and push = gg

[robust vapor]

128 rush XL

[next onyx]

@robust vapor there's a Gol skin too.

[robust vapor]

but people spamming Irish APS

Yeah there's one for GoL

[next onyx]

A fucking Gol skin.

I'm so mad.

[robust vapor]

where's the other vault skins

[next onyx]

I would have killed for a custom m16 skin.

[robust vapor]

M16 with iron sights and 6KU thank me later

under barrel maybe some launchers

[ruby loom]

men the 1200Kills T1 Skin looks better

AK5C

• High-Power Ammo: Increased Damage from 25 to 26 under 50 meters

Nice, high power actually serves a point now

[wide hill]

did someone else recently have sound issues? i can hear everything, but in the menu all the sounds that play when i hover buttons or change stuff have a noise to it. not sure if its a new driver update from my headest (also happens when using speakers) or if its the game itself

[vocal tusk]

Its audible feedback

Its been there for a while. If by this you mean that there is a sound that plays, which gets higher or lower in volume as you make a setting higher or lower in value

[wide hill]

no, wait let me record it

[vocal tusk]

Hmm...so only dumb fire launchers get additional ammo. Doesnt this change further make the new SRAW a bad choice?

[patent path]

big W

[vocal tusk]

It does the same damage as the M5, but now has 2 less ammo

[wide hill]

https://imgur.com/a/IfSp10O

[vocal tusk]

That has always been there

At least as far back as I remember

[wide hill]

but that sound so wrong

[chilly jacinth]

So now you can solo tanks again

I guess enough people complained

[vocal tusk]

You should have always been able to solo tanks with dumbfire launchers.

It still takes 2/3 shots to the rear, and 4 to the side to kill.

More when you factor in APS/auto repairs

[violet otter]

Was fun when you could take on tanks with the engineer in BF4. Was enough ammo to take them down in one go with the RPG

[slim hound]

Driving a tank and knowing "I'm good, I can suicidally charge into this objective because no two/three people will coincide to be near and think to fire on me simultaneously"

Is ungood gaming

[kindred flint]

Hipfire increase pellet spread will never stop being funny

[quiet shell]

No changes to the SRAW

How sad

[spare quest]

Stop nerfing the AT mines

[chilly jacinth]

theyre invisible most of the time anyways

so theyre secretly op

[spare quest]

[stone cradle]

Not enough people unlocked it yet so they don't have enough feedback

[fickle wharf]

sraw is doodoo

[vocal tusk]

I posted this on twitter...but this is essentially what a 10% size increase means for mines. It basically means nothing for the most part.

Left current size, right 10% bigger

[chilly jacinth]

i can barely tell a difference

[dusty sparrow]

??

[solid imp]

[dusty sparrow]

not towards tanks just towards air vehicles

[solid imp]

that weird launch trajectory is so janky

it looks like it wants to do something top-down and then just doesn't

[chilly jacinth]

It's realistic

Cause you know it doesn't go max velocity at the start

Still shitty though

[solid imp]

true but combined with the scope that for some reason zooms too far in and your initial aim is more challenging than it should be

[chilly jacinth]

Indeed

[solid imp]

"too far" in context of the bf4 sraw which barely zoomed even with a smaller viewing area

[kindred flint]

Classic case of we choose to ignore previous data for a weapon

[solid imp]

need to play with it some more to see if some of the same tricks still work

[kindred flint]

What's the point of it over a lissile?

[solid imp]

best one was launching one in the air and letting it go, reload, launch a second directly at the tank and the wire guide on rocket 1 kicks in so both hit almost at the same time

[kindred flint]

cheating bastard

[solid imp]

it's just so hard to tell if guiding on the new one is the destination or the trajectory

[vocal tusk]

I wanted to try that out also, but I doubt it works now with how. Limited the range is and how slow the reload is.

[solid imp]

bf4 it was destination so the rocket would just kinda "get there" somehow

[kindred flint]

Doesn't it have shit turning too?

[solid imp]

it seems to but again the rocket is out of the view most of the time because of that silly zoom

so I have no idea how well it's turning based on where I'm pointing it

it just seems designed much less for "only in bf" moments making fun trick shots and more like only letting you fix a launch error of a couple degrees

[vocal tusk]

The zoom is just unnecessary imo

It feels like they tried to balance it somehow with excessive zoom

[solid imp]

agreed- thanks for the fullscreen scope but I still see less than that little bitty circle with no zoom from before lol

so fun swatting transport helis out of the sky on isla inocentes

can't even see the heli now in the scope 😦 sad

[royal swan]

Oooh extra rocket

Is it only obtained via ammo box tho

Or do you spawn with an additional rocket now

[robust vapor]

Halfway there BUT IM LOSING THIS

[vocal tusk]

Based on what they said in the past, it's both.

So all engineers will have 1 extra rocket ammo. Crawford will also get 1 extra on spawn, but be still able to get another extra from a box.

[pine roost]

I really hope they have it in them to change it

[royal swan]

Ah

[spare quest]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bean-waiting-still-waiting-gif-13052487

[fickle wharf]

2xp tech missing

[chilly jacinth]

someone on my team just griefed my tank with c5

[reef cliff]

When will mcs-880 shotgun ever get a slug round buff? Like make it oneshot head at least smh.

[chilly jacinth]

never

[ivory canopy]

Yeah - never.

[kindred flint]

Wasn't it a 1 shot already?

[ivory canopy]

iirc, no

You use MCS slugs if you want to go back to the good old days of pre-S6 MCS.

[spare quest]

MCS slug max damage is 75

[reef cliff]

Large rant like speech but really needed. ||#stop anti tank mine hate aka nerfing it. It's already bad as it is. #buff slugs on mcs-880, #stop 12m-auto hate, #An option to remove ads glint on any high zoom scope in portal. #Increase flare/aps cool down on air vehicles, #reduce (Flying tank) heli health.||

12m auto slugs used to oneshot at some point.

headshot.

[kindred flint]

75 damage for a half inch slug of metal?

[spare quest]

Using the 12m is just a skill issue

[kindred flint]

Oh was it auto only?

[reef cliff]

100+ damage for throwing knife mmmh...

[kindred flint]

With literally no damage drop off

[reef cliff]

Someone got to get that mastery tho.

[kindred flint]

I believe the man who put those in the game no longer works at dice... can we nerf them already

[reef cliff]

leg shot knife... vs ap round ntw-50 on leg.

[kindred flint]

And by nerf I mean make them like the previous fucking games throwing knife

[ivory canopy]

I got the MCS T1 well before S6

Should tell you about either my masochism or dedication, or perhaps both.

[reef cliff]

Mcs slug needs to one-shot head or else slugs are just going to be a useless thing on mcs forever as the season is already over 😦

[spare quest]

no

[ivory canopy]

JuSt uSe a bOlT aCtIoN RiFlE LoL

The first gun I got to T1 was the GVT

Was pretty funny

[spare quest]

nerfed to death

[ivory canopy]

I mean, I got that T1 before S1

Should still be able to snipe with it

[reef cliff]

Anyone from dice or someone who can do weapon balance please buff mcs-880 slug to oneshot head. Or remove it if it's never getting the buff.

[ivory canopy]

Most of the guns in BF2042 I have yet to T1 are automatic guns.

So, LMGs, ARs, the SCZ3, Rorsch, 12M, among others

[spare quest]

Why would you use the rorsch in automatic

[ivory canopy]

Why not?

[spare quest]

not worth it

[ivory canopy]

If you're good, you're good

[reef cliff]

ScZ3 getting nerfed for some reason... Rorsch still got that 2 bullet headshot capabiltys.

[ivory canopy]

Next BF should have the plus system, for sure.

But I think there are spots in which it can be improved.

[lapis oriole]

i wait !!!

[reef cliff]

Rebuff g428 standard ammo when? Like remove it's 4 shot kill range or buff it's 2 shot kill range. DMR's should not be just a close range weapon except for bsv-m.

[ebon pilot]

mcs slugs already one shot to the head

[spare quest]

wrong

75 damage is max

[ivory canopy]

All ammo types have a 1x HSM

So hitting them in the head with an MCS slug is irrelevant

[spare quest]

this guy gets it

[ivory canopy]

Also, you get much less ammo available using slugs. It's basically a handicap.

Not even worth bothering with slugs.

[ebon pilot]

wait so the 1 shot hs ive been getting with the slugs have been fake?

[ivory canopy]

They've likely been wounded prior

[kindred flint]

Your opponents were probably weary from playing 2042 so they'd already lost the will to live

[violet otter]

Anyone know what causes the persistence data error to happen? I was playing on Xbox and then started up my ps5 on the same account and haven’t been able to join a game since. I assume it’s just a delay in data being synced from the server.

[chilly jacinth]

servers

[vital mauve]

When is the next battlefield?

[spare quest]

2026

[vocal tusk]

Probably 2026...at the earliest late 2025

I highly doubt 2025 tho

[vital mauve]

I’ll b back then

[slow tulip]

Tom Henderson said 2026

[violet otter]

Clearing system cache seemed to get rid of it. Bit weird

[slow tulip]

Ea said 2025

[spare quest]

I said 2026

[quaint vector]

I say 2028

[boreal trout]

I say 2030

[mental delta]

I say game doesn't exist and you're all tripping

No new BF game is on the way it's just us being delusional

Only a BR mode exists and they're planning on only adding skins

[wide hill]

you also cant leave that topic alone, cant you xD

[mental delta]

What do you mean NoodleSoup dude lol ?

[wide hill]

skins

[mental delta]

I was just trying to think about any crap they could add in a BR mode

First thing I thought of was skins

It could be making the BR mode a multiple games thing so it totally deregulates gunplay just like COD did

😏

[arctic grove]

How on earth do most people already have the predator SRAW I'm only on tier 27

[patent path]

don't you get the sraw pretty early on

[torpid wadi]

Fortnite bf crossover when

[quaint vector]

I'm Tier 52 in Battle Pass. I didn't bought the Ultimate Pack

[dusty sparrow]

I did lol

and i'm tier 54

[quaint vector]

I would be 72 with it

[patent path]

damn

[acoustic seal]

i could be a lot further if i didn't quit most rounds out of disgust

[spare quest]

https://tenor.com/view/rb-gif-3624281043814718262

[mental delta]

Yeah fr bro please give me more shitty ideas like this

I can take it don't worry I'm built different

Come on hurt me with horrible crossover skin ideas

[acoustic seal]

i think paik players should be in prison

• dozer players should probably be in daycare instead of playing violent video games, it's not good for kids their age

[slow tulip]

Battlefield heros

[mental delta]

They should instigate a vote for the presence or not of shields in next game

Because Dozer just makes me crazy

[slow tulip]

How long will the next f2p battlefield battle royal last?

Hazard zone and Firestorm died very quickly

[chilly jacinth]

none of which were f2p

[slow tulip]

They tried Battle royal with bf before

Also they already have apex

They are also working on a non battle royal apex

[acoustic seal]

vote? just skip the effort and don't fucking do it

[slow tulip]

Shields sucks in BF

[acoustic seal]

at the very least it needs to NOT have a one-shot and there needs to be some kind of downtime

[daring mango]

#FridayNightBattlefield - Weekly Event,,,
What event is this?

[full burrow]

imagine a small shield that you take instead of a gadget, it goes on your right arm and provides some protection while you running and a bit while ads too, think frying pan on pubg xD

[acoustic seal]

please never get a game dev job

[daring mango]

#FridayNightBattlefield - Weekly Event,,,
Can anyone explain in detail about this event?

[remote kiln]

#fnb-news

[arctic grove]

At tier 37

Or something similar

[mental delta]

2 months ? 2 week ? 2 days ? 2...

[mental delta]

I agree

[slow tulip]

Hazard zone didn't even last 2 months

[mental delta]

Yeah most people say it died but it pretty much never lived

[acoustic seal]

hz lasted about one week

if they ACTUALLY separate the new one from the main game, i'll give it two months

otherwise two days

[slow tulip]

F2p battle royal is concerning for the next game because that's where most of the resources are gonna go

[ivory canopy]

hb don't put any resources to a battle royale since hz died so quick it's not even worth it for the next game

[mental delta]

They're gonna make it a separate F2P mode so yes

[acoustic seal]

no no no no it can't be a gamemode, it has to be a separate download

[mental delta]

It is a separate thing lol

Like there's gonna be a new BF game with campaign and traditional multiplayer (hope Dice doesn't fuck it up) and a BR mode in F2P which is probably gonna release after next game

[slow tulip]

No official confirmation from EA, there is enough evidence to back up that battle royal is coming

[daring mango]

thank you
But I don’t know what it’s about...ㅜ.ㅜ
Is this a place to share about games?

[remote kiln]

it's a weekly event hosted on this discord, scroll down and you will see the FNB voice channels

[mental delta]

It is totally coming even though it hasn't been said officially

But we ain't gonna get any new infos before next year

Like this year is just gonna be empty BF-wise

[daring mango]

I thought it was a free game event...ㅜ.ㅠ

[remote kiln]

nope

[daring mango]

I do not own the Battlefield 2042 game yet

Why did you invite me here?

[solid imp]

Huh... I can't decide if that's a good idea or bad. Probably complex either way for whichever team manages the 2042 entry in the EA store. FNB as a f2p weekly, only play that mode, everything else is blocked off

[remote kiln]

wouldn't really make much sense for Fridays only tbh

[solid imp]

knives only is fun but for some reason really stressful

[remote kiln]

its cause ninjas need to maintain composure

[ivory canopy]

Sorrow seems to despise the Type 88 LMG. I kinda like it, honestly...

[chilly jacinth]

its perfectly fine

but there are better options

[mental delta]

My game crashed 2 times today after not playing it for 1 week

I had to uninstall

[rigid charm]

I'm having an issue in the game where kills aren't being counted to unlock the T1 weapon skins. Has anyone else experienced this?

[solid imp]

Are you playing solo/coop? That will only allow you to hit mastery 12.

If you're playing Portal servers it has to be marked as Full XP

[rigid charm]

ok im going to pay attention to that

[solid imp]

It's a shame that Portal never made it possible to allow PvP bots and still allow mastery progression. I get the logic but a cap on XP would solve most of it.

Without bots it's so hard to populate a server from scratch

[rigid charm]

yeah sometimes you just want to play some redacted and shoot shit

[solid imp]

Exactly

[rigid charm]

thanks for the info, its probably that

need to play full xp

[ivory canopy]

Yea of course; the guns I will T1 next after the Type 88 will be better.

[kindred flint]

will the type 88 now be superior to the m240 or m60

[chilly jacinth]

it aint

[kindred flint]

way back...before the portal weapon buff pass, it didnt feel absolutely trash

but then...why should you use it when something like pkp existed

[chilly jacinth]

its easier to control

[kindred flint]

for the fire rate of the pkp though its really controllable especially after the first couple shots and you settle into it

[patent pivot]

Vault guns loyalty

[chilly jacinth]

man the amount of times i have to handle literally every air vehicle by myself as an AA when we have 2 AA is annoying

[stone cradle]

huh the bfp had the recoil issue too

[arctic grove]

We def need a forest map

[stuck kraken]

Is there any logical explanation to limit some totally random weapons in this weeks community portal rush?

[ashen siren]

Argonne forest from BF1...loved that map!

[chilly jacinth]

ask the guy who made the mode

[mental delta]

Wrong timing they just announced a few days ago that support to this game was over

[ashen siren]

I think the correct term is "putting it out of it's misery" 😛

[mental delta]

Lol it's for the good cause yes, may next game be better

[chilly dove]

something about this doesn't seem right. Did you calculate the 10% larger based on area or dimensions? lmao

[kindred flint]

lmao god i cant take worthless fucking teammates...i keep spawning on squadmates who flank around the backside of B on redacted and try to take/kill the enemy from behind, meanwhile 3/4 of the team is camping in the middle of the map in 1 spot instead of pushing then we started to lose D...and i just had to leave the match, fuck that

[ashen siren]

Specialists in this game, being able to carry pretty much whatever loadout they want, basically destroyed any sense of teamwork in this game. It's all smooth-brained lone-wolf's.

[chilly dove]

people still get mad about losing in pubs in 2024, who knew

[kindred flint]

its not a lack of teamwork, its a lack of common sense

dipshits who would rather sit in front of 1 choke point hallway when you can just walk around

[ashen siren]

I'd argue both are to blame! Oh, and an influx of dumbass cod players

[kindred flint]

i just main falck because i can heal myself/teammates revive and give ammo...which apparently is mega hard for other supports to do since i basically always have more resupplies than the rest of the team combined

[chilly dove]

or maybe they just don't care about which colour the plus symbol and banner are at the end of the round and are just there to have fun

[ashen siren]

Fun moments are rare in this game tbh

[chilly dove]

thats a very personal take

[kindred flint]

i even got a fucking quad kill off 1 under barrel incendiary

but watching the stupidity of the majority of the team lose ground like that on the "better" side in redacted isnt worth sticking around playing out the match

[chilly dove]

alot of people don't like chess, but chess is alot of fun, for example.

[ashen siren]

I played a bit yesterday, struggled to even find a game I could get into, and once there were enough players, it was mostly AI bots. Epic waste of time, happens constantly, and definitely not fun. I bought a PS5 and playing GT7 mostly now, and am enjoying gaming again.

[chilly dove]

that's great. I mean, I'm sorry for you

[kindred flint]

you really seemed sincere there

[chilly dove]

shoot me in Battlefield 2042 the latest in the Battlefield franchise from EA! Available on multiple platforms featuring infantry and vehicular combat!

[mental delta]

I'm fucking convinced Hourglass is the one of the worst maps ever made in FPS games history

I'm absolutely not kidding at all

[chilly dove]

agreed. that conquest 128 version is cancerous

[mental delta]

It may be some of the crappiest shit a video game studio has ever produced

[tidal trail]

Don't swear!!!

[kindred flint]

didnt you hear though....stadium coming back!!!!!!

[mental delta]

It's impossible to fuck up a map design that bad

[ashen siren]

The village and crater/tunnel section are fine, but the rest of that map is utter trash

[kindred flint]

best part about hourglass returns

[mental delta]

The rest of the map is just fucking horribly unplayable bro

[ashen siren]

Reclaimed and Manifest have entered the chat

[chilly dove]

nah those areas are pretty bad too

[kindred flint]

dice did it many times with AoW maps wdym?

[mental delta]

Hourglass forces me to do so

[chilly dove]

Reclaimed and Manifest are both great conquest maps. Latter in CQ-128

[mental delta]

One of the only good parts of the map, they somehow managed to get rid off it

[kindred flint]

dice never fails to surprise

i particularly liked when i realized...every building in the desert was the same building with the same side backed up to a sand dune so uninspired

[mental delta]

At this point it's just pure laziness and no one can convince me otherwise, they just didn't want to make the map better, they just wanted to make us think they improved it, they wouldn't have removed Stadium if they really tried to figure out how to improve that shit ass motherfucking piece of shit map

[chilly dove]

the original Hourglass was the best version of Hourglass and Stadium. The rework of the new hourglass is just spawn abuse and tower camping.

[ashen siren]

I've only ever been able to play 128player map once...ONCE!!! There's never been enough players to kick a game off, this despite being cross-fucking-play. How hard must you be failing being a games company to manage that?!

[kindred flint]

although i suppose tbf some buildings in the city point have no sand around them...damn, still the exact same building though with nothing inside

[ashen siren]

Manifest must have been the easiest map to create, and is peak laziness...literally just copy/pasting in shipping containers everywhere!

[mental delta]

It's empty as well

A whole 2/3 of the map is just empty

[kindred flint]

played that yesterday for a bit...i still hate the fucking trash bags flying around on the map

9/10 times i think its a squirrel flying in

[chilly dove]

Both the 64 player and 128 player versions of conquest suffer the same room filling issues. It's somewhat worse for 128 and also very region and time dependent. You probably suffer from one of those issues

[mental delta]

It could have been one of the best maps but yeah they failed it badly

[vocal tusk]

This was my idea for an hourglass remake. Tho its probably too dense to work on last gen consoles. 🤣

[ashen siren]

Yep, Oceana (Australia). Never had any issues in any other game with regards to insufficient numbers, only 2042...sums it up really! 😛

[chilly dove]

true, the new hourglass being smaller overall, discourages distance play and encourages people to just gravitate directly to the H shaped layout of objectives. so all that empty space really stands out in the rework. In the old version of Hourglass, there were quite a few ground and air battles BETWEEN sites, and you really felt rewarded for successfully traversing a large area with a squad, and then doing something at that area.

[gilded goblet]

Yes sir! WE AUSSIE ARE BETTER!

[vocal tusk]

With flags haha

[gilded goblet]

U been enjoying the rain aswell @ashen siren

[next onyx]

Hey that's a cool update for shotguns.

[chilly dove]

in NA we still have some issues due to how the devs overly complexified the matchmaking system (which doesn't use SBMM, but still uses some weird system that keeps you out of rooms that have filled to like... 84 players or something... and then it slowly allows them to fill up after for the 42 extra players hand picked from player parties or friendslist late joins. They just reinvented the wheel and made it so much worse)

If you leave a game and go back to the lobby to search for a game, the matchmaking system will actively keep you from joining rooms. as punishment for leaving the queue. Washroom breaks are NOT allowed for Battlefield gamers, according to DICE I guess.

If you let the system automatically find you a new game, it's always fast, but if you dare leave and rejoin, even after the round ends, ^ this happens. Why make it longer for them to find a game? Why not just randomly drop people into games as fast as possible and let them cancel the queue if they want a different map?

This alone would increase the quality of life of the match making process, and the rate of match finding on the main channels

Which would increase the playerbase because people would be spending more time playing and less time deciding to fuck it and not play because they realise how problematic the game is while waiting for a match to start lmao.

[gilded goblet]

wha

[next onyx]

They're all getting hip fire adjustments.

[amber kelp]

Thats a good addition. Doesnt make any logical sense but it should add more depth to the weapon type and is oddly intuitive

[vocal tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/fart-after-indian-gif-5030225

Shotguns after 7.1 be like

[kindred flint]

youre not wrong

[amber kelp]

I think you can rationalize it as the gun being less steady in hipfire.
But there is also the basic idea of "ads = more accuracy" that people intuit

[vocal tusk]

It doesnt make realistic sense, but it totally seems like it will be a good change to add a bit more depth to shotguns haha

[gilded goblet]

yo nice tho

[mental delta]

Is it normal ?

I'm 99% sure it's not

That's what killing me with this fucking game

Even after 2 years there's still annoying shit like this

You start to like the game a little bit and then there's something pissing you off

[mental delta]

Yeah I get that, now it's so empty that some areas are just not accessible because you know some enemy jets or choppers are gonna find your ass and regret you to choose to come to their positions

[chilly jacinth]

whats the issue?

clipping camera or what?

[novel zephyr]

holy hell battlefield pulled a shipment?!

[amber kelp]

shipping containers were used because theyre a very simple geometic-shaped object that can realistically appear anywhere. Conceptually theyre fine, though how theyre used often creates issues of map design

[chilly jacinth]

its Manifest

a map that is set in a massive shipping port

[chilly dove]

Manifest is a great map. Mackay and Sundance just dominate on it to a point of some toxicity for some areas. Beyond that it's great. Old and new version

[ashen siren]

Manifest is a grappling hook and sniper-fest...can't fucking stand playing on it

[chilly dove]

where's that guy who says "skill issue" when ya need him

[chilly jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/skillissue-skill-issue-gif-22125481

[ashen siren]

Your answer to everything. I can't stand playing on it, because it's simply not fun...nothing at all to do with skill issue. Period.

[chilly dove]

Haha I'm just messing. Obviously not everyone likes sniping or long distance play

[amber kelp]

Manifest flows terribly and has way to many seperate layers of verticality

[ashen siren]

I don't mind it, and expect people to do that, but when 3/4 of the opposing team are doing it, there's zero fun to be had.

[acoustic seal]

thank god someone beat me to it

[amber kelp]

This is where the shipping containers become a problem. Its not that theyre there, its how theyre used, creating tons and tons of angles to check at any given point. This means gunfights are more likely to be a suprise and while arguably fair, thats not exactly fun.

[acoustic seal]

the fucking SIGHTLINES on that map are a war crime

[chilly dove]

Nah Manifest 128 is literally just 4 site areas and some usually good paths between them. The hill sites, boats, shipping areas 1 and shipping area No. 2

[ashen siren]

Alrighty peeps, time to go to work. Catch you later on! 🙂

[amber kelp]

This is why many BF games in urban areas only have a select few floors you can go to. Battlebit also suffers from this exact problem due to opening up every floor in a building

[chilly dove]

the real issue is alot of gamers don't like dying in vidya. Assuming they should always survive. But with the nature of BF2042 and a respawn shooter as such, unless you play with the utmost tactics in a near perfect squad you will always die. So it's just not a worry

[amber kelp]

Youre going to die a lot on every map. "people dont like dying" does not explain why some maps are liked and some arent

[acoustic seal]

dying is fine, but too often you die to completely unpredictable nonsense because every corner has 20 angles and at least 3 long sightlines to clear before you can move anywhere

[chilly dove]

Getting shot from behind in BF2042 is not something to cry about. Because no one here cries when they do it to others. Let's be honest.

[acoustic seal]

it wasn't like this before the bf1 tsar dlc

[amber kelp]

Well thats the thing. It is fair. But is it fun on either the dealing or recieving end?

Or more specifically, is it more fun than head on gunfights?

[chilly dove]

So the *sight lines people don't like in Manifest, the verticality, it's featured on so many maps that it's nothing special in manifest. It just so happens that mackay and sundance get to more areas easier than others do in 4 maps so they add to that top down farm factor. Beyond that, most of the map really does play fairly for all specialists and both sides.

[acoustic seal]

extreme unpredictable verticality also wasn't a thing before 2042

[chilly dove]

It's a 100% difference of opinion. I like space and tactics. I silently commend good plays others make on me. Mature vs immature gaming perspectives. Run and gun is good once in a while too but it definitely gets boring fast and DICE acts like it's the end all be all of shooters these days. They didn't even make anymore 128 maps since Flashpoint. and that map and spearheard were nothing but 2 lines of sites. I want more 128 maps but I want them to be more interesting, like Breakaway or Kaleidoscope (which is a square but the funnest square F U)

[amber kelp]

Mature vs immature gaming perspectives.
😬

[chilly dove]

what?

I didn't even say that in what you're replying to heh. You meant my other message?

changed site to sight, small mistake

[amber kelp]

That questionable comment aside, having most encounters be suprises is not the same as having tactical gameplay. You can very much have a game where you are running and gunning where this occurs, its mostly down to map design. If the game provides a ton of open angles on any point, then running and gunning randomly is encouraged because that creates the most opportunities to get the drop on someone.

[chilly dove]

but anyway i like all of manifest, sight lines included.

only thing that can chill on manifest, and alot of maps, would be those damn tornadoes lmao

[amber kelp]

Agreed

[chilly dove]

Tornado B lining to your exact locations OZ PLEASE.

[acoustic seal]

people get mad about manifest because you physically cannot check all of the possible angles before moving to common spots like flags, you get blasted off the game by some guy sitting 130m to the left of A1 up on the top of a stack of boxes that's impossible to get to normally

there's no player agency, there's no way you could've played it better, you just have to eat shit when that happens and it feels AWFUL

[chilly dove]

I massively disagree with run and gun based logic. Respawn shooters like even this game somewhat based around it but slowing down play style in this franchise has such a ridiculous benefit. Picking your placement and paying attention to the map and using those tactics has a greater effect on the KDR experience. You become the problem, rather than the receiver of it.

[amber kelp]

This map design doesnt slow down the gameplay, it speeds it up. It makes running and gunning very viable cause you can easily catch people off guard.

[chilly dove]

i did cover this. I explained how mackay/sundance or vehicle drop offs can abuse those positions, however that's the counter-play induction. Sure, a night bird isn't always available, or even a pondhawk. But mackay, as disgusting as he is, really is a click away ( I have literally never played Mackay, and I'm Canadian. fuck that guy)

[acoustic seal]

"you must use the guy that breaks all map flow to play the game normally" is not a solution

[chilly dove]

that's just 1 solution and i wouldn't say he breaks all map flow, though he is a bit of a noob friendly pick

if someone is up top on some random location:

[amber kelp]

he single handedly destroys the games map design by opening up an exponential higher # of flanking routes

[chilly dove]

-triangulate

-call for air support

-switch to a height attacking loadout of some sort, splash damage

-avoid the area

[acoustic seal]

bf3, 4, 1 didn't have these problems so i gotta wonder why we have to start working around it now

[amber kelp]

Does it not raise an eyebrow that this is your first advice?

[chilly dove]

-monitor

-suppress

is it even my first?

[chilly jacinth]

bf3 beacons also had this "issue"

[chilly dove]

and does the order of what my tips are really matter?

and there's more I didn't even list anyway.

how dare a game require some extra thought lol

oh right, run and gun player-types. I rest my case

[acoustic seal]

you didn't have nearly as many cringe spots on bf3 maps that you could cheese with beacons, be honest here

[amber kelp]

Lets look at these. 1, 4, and 5 are passive and dont deal with it, 2 is overkill, 3 is switching to makay, and 6 does not exist in 2042

[chilly jacinth]

there were a fuckton

[amber kelp]

^
beacons also mess with map flow. Not as much as the grapple hook but it leads to a lot of rat hunting, especially if the beacon is mandatory for recon

[chilly dove]

monitor means to have someone watch the area. aka "cover"

it exists in all games

[amber kelp]

Ok thats more fair

[chilly dove]

you can even have a dat boy casper do it with a drone

[chilly jacinth]

you have so many tools to sniff out and kill rats in 2042

[chilly dove]

to warn teammates when batman has reloaded and is returning to farm his sight line again

[chilly jacinth]

its close to a none issue

[amber kelp]

I think the game is more fun with more clear front lines though.

[acoustic seal]

yeah dude i gotta rainbow 6 siege drone the crates stacks fucking 130m to the left of manifest A1 before i'm allowed to play the game

[chilly dove]

this

[acoustic seal]

amazing

[chilly jacinth]

i dont think you even play

this doesnt even happen that often

[chilly dove]

chopper with thermal sight has entered the chat. "We hunting rats?? I want in"

[acoustic seal]

i JUST got off a defense game where that happened to me which is where i pulled the example from

s200 rat camping the crate stacks with g428

[chilly jacinth]

and even if it does you have zain

or lis

and more

[chilly dove]

lol Arc gets it

there are SO many options

[amber kelp]

Arc does not get it, cause I dont think he understands what I mean by rat clearing.
The spawn beacon one is an issue in multiple games, imo. And bf1 is better without htem

[chilly dove]

Nah he gets it, we have a difference of opinion. He's on topic.

[amber kelp]

Then I have not made my stance clear enough

[chilly jacinth]

you dont like it

[chilly dove]

Nah you don't like it. that's all

[amber kelp]

Do you want an actual discussion or not?

[chilly dove]

You've tried to discredit my like of the fact that mackay and spawn beacons or sundances or paras or clever climbers can do all sorts of cool stuff like that

so it's not me, it's you

[amber kelp]

So you dont want a discussion then.
Ok, have a nice day

[chilly dove]

I just don't mind that mackay can do stuff like that. You clearly said earlier that your style of play or the style of play of run and gunners can be essentially farmed by such people. 2 words, second one is issue, first one starts with skill

[acoustic seal]

we've had it solved in previous games, bf1 especially severely limited places where you could do that

just design the maps better

[amber kelp]

Thats not even remotely what I said

[chilly dove]

I thought we weren't having a discussion yet here i am lol

[amber kelp]

Fair, you baited me with that bit

[chilly dove]

being @'d. ok go on i'll reread

[chilly dove]

this is kind of what i was responding to.

that sentiment I disagree with to an extent. I understand where vfc was coming from but I just think that while there's alot of side and back deaths in manifest, there's a way to greatly mitigate it and it's not just full tilt running, but also clever choice of pathing, and, * gasp * teamwork

[next onyx]

You can't rely on team work with this kind of playerbase.

[chilly dove]

"rely" is a bit much. ask for, party play, good squad once in a while

solo style play definitely harder I guess.

[amber kelp]

But also you showed where the miscommunication here happened, so Ill continue in hopes to clear that up. Im not promoting run and gun, I am saying that the map design promotes run and gun. When I say you cannot check every angle thats not because its too hard or tedious, its a hard cap. By the time you check each angle youve often left one exposed enough for someone to pop up. Because of that its better to just move, doesnt matter where so long as you have momentum. Odds are you'll get the drop on someone, which devalues tactical play. And that creates run and gun playstyles.

Personally, when playing manifest I prefer to stay on the hill. I think its a much better designed area and more fun to fight in.

[chilly dove]

sometimes you just gotta go with the teams flow. but even more rarely, sometimes, the team's flow is all red on the flags, and a high speed ticket countdown for a map change lol. (dice please fix honestly, let us fight back)

[next onyx]

I'm used to airbursting people off the containers but as someone who abuses the containers themselves it's fucking obnoxious for the other side.

Power positions are nice and all but these are too good.

[amber kelp]

Its not bad if theres one or two layers of verticality. Someone can plausibly keep tabs on that and make informed decisions.
Manifest has 28 layers of verticality

[next onyx]

I usually keep things isolated so I'm not too bothered but D is super claustrophobic.

The one where the containers are stacked on high below the cranes.

[chilly jacinth]

are peoples fov a tunnel or something

[next onyx]

Pretty much.

[chilly dove]

i agree wit hthis to an extent but i disagree with where you think the run and gun truly arises from. We can't truly have realistic tactical play where "checking corners" would be enough because if you were to simulate the amount of infantry represented in a 64v64 respawn shooter, let me tell you, it's alot more than 64 opponents. more accurately, you need to tally up all the enemy team deaths and add 64 ontop of that (for all the living players) and then take into account that they can spawn ....pretty much anywhere. So the type of tactics required for a Battlefield game always incoporate more than a normal amount of movement and repositioning. And again, you WILL die because of what i described above. It's the nature of respawn shooters. Some maps are honestly overly tailored to corral all of your enemies into a line infront of you. I find this silly a f (coughredactedcough)

[acoustic seal]

previous battlefield games with similar playercounts did not have this issue

[chilly dove]

they definitely did on maps with alot of flanks and concentration overall.

and it wasn't an issue. it was just the mayhem requiring some brain power to deal with what would be chaos or chaotic failure

BF3 noshahr CQ for example, there's like an X of 5 sites

i can't tell you the amount of times i was shot from behind in a 32v32

it almost gets frustrating after a while when you think you're hot shit and some scrub just does that to you

then you realise "wait.... I do that to them, way way more than they do it to me.... cuz of my kdr... haha. i'm fucking sick"

[sly crag]

cannot believe how bad the hit reg has been since season 7. It was bad before but i have countless nvidia replays where its literally showing unplayability if youre competitive in any sense of the word

[amber kelp]

TBF thats redacted's gimmick. The one map where you go nuts and lobotomize yourself. Fun but only in moderation.
Youre right that battlefield wont be like squad but there is a notable difference between some of the relatively careful play in 4 and even 1 versus the random chaos of the shipping shipping container section in manifest. And its going to boil down to how players can control space.

[chilly jacinth]

i mean i played like a crackhead in bf4

[amber kelp]

If players can control space, running recklessly often leads to some else's gunsight. If players cant, running recklessly is more likely to get you to someone's side or back. The number of lines of sight someone has to cover determines this

[amber kelp]

relatively

I want to stress that.

[chilly dove]

passing through some areas on difficult arena style positions like that definitely gets tradey/grindy and kind of silly. but that's why I sort of avoid them. sure you get spawned in them, sometimes and sometimes you get rekt by Ratman but overall, if you play on Manifest or maps like that just follow my simple tips to have an amazing time:

[chilly jacinth]

and base bf4 maps have the same issue 2042 maps have

open

af

[next onyx]

Fun as hell on release as no one knew how to play it.

So fights were constantly all over the place.

[amber kelp]

Well yeah youre right, thats the opposite end of the spectrum right? Not enough chocies to move around and suddenly theres not enough choices for tactical play. Its just the meat grinder

[next onyx]

Hit a nice 150 bomb though only with the VHX. But I'll take it.

[reef cliff]

We can all agree that dm7 needs a huge buff right?

[chilly jacinth]

no

[next onyx]

Not a huge buff but yeah it needs a buff.

Oh well.

[chilly jacinth]

what kinda buff do you want

it kills fast

[next onyx]

I got it to tier 1 and forgot about its existence.

Issue about the dm7 is that the VSS does everything better.

[reef cliff]

What are you smoking?

[chilly jacinth]

nothing atm

[amber kelp]

can it get aim assist on PC and let me hit through walls plz and thank u

[reef cliff]

Aside from headshots, it's got a high time to kill in every range. It's got no upsides.

[chilly jacinth]

i mean sure

[next onyx]

300 rpm 3hk is not bad but it suffers a lot.

[chilly jacinth]

its better than all of the dmrs

[next onyx]

M39 fucking rips at close range.

I actually think that holds up in its own way.

[chilly dove]

Manifest tips: 1. You are the night, you are the shadow, you are the specialist. 2. It's a dangerous world out there, tread lightly and honestly, avoid the farm paths as much as you can. 3. Check your angles but also, stay low and don't dally in open areas. 4. You will die, but don't give up. 5. When you kill the enemy, repeat tip #1 to yourself, you'll feel better. 5. "Don't get frustrated!" - Angel 6. When you get to a damn good spot, set up a campfire. (7. Sundance is cooler than Mackay. 8. All my homies know this 9. Mackay can't even wingsuit what a loser)

[amber kelp]

10. fight over the hill

[chilly dove]

Rumour has it there's a years supply of free pizza somewhere at B2. That's why everyone goes there.

[next onyx]

Just play zain. That's all you need to do.

Keep the tops cleared out and you're set.

[chilly dove]

But Zain too logical =(=(=( (as in zain makes too much sense. not hard. I just like challenges lol. Zain's logic fits right at home with infinite ammo vehicles that can heal............. dice plz ffs)

[next onyx]

Zain isn't that hard.

[chilly dove]

Gtg, great discussion

[amber kelp]

zain has infinite grenades it is the opposite of logical.

[reef cliff]

buff dm7, buff g428 standard ammo to like 2 body shot up to 30m, nerf aps/flares on flying tanks I mean helis.

[next onyx]

G428 doesn't need a buff.

It's alright as a close ranged dmr.

[next onyx]

I love Zain purely for the utility of clearing roof tops off.

[amber kelp]

actally getting someone off a high spots not a problem. Its the potential for them to come from so many places thats the issue with this many layers. If that makes sense

[next onyx]

But it's dumb how large the blast is.

Oh no I understand.

Like oh their squad mate might still be there.

[reef cliff]

Or just remove it's 25 damage range smh. It can't be a dmr if it's only for close range. Exclude bsv-m

[next onyx]

VCAR is close ranged too.

[reef cliff]

and vcar to I forgot.

[next onyx]

That reminds me.

I need to use the vcar again.

I love it so much.

[reef cliff]

vcar is just a better dm7 tbh.

[next onyx]

Eh vcar loses a lot of range.

It's the best gun within 30 metres.

But out in a range its dispersion really hinders it.

Kinda like a super scuffed smg to be honest LOL.

[gilded goblet]

Bro

U can legit only use the vcar if u have mouse click tiggers or a mouse

[reef cliff]

Vcar before the assult and lmg headshot nerfs. Was a bit weak. But now Vcar shines because it's close range ttk beats alot of ar's and lmgs.

[gilded goblet]

fucking anyoing

[chilly dove]

VCAR best SMG in the game imo. "Its a DMR you say? LOL I CAN'T HEAR YOU"

[acoustic seal]

just met a scar prodigy with 50% hsr over 1100 kills

[reef cliff]

Full auto vcar when?

[tropic cliff]

When is that stealth bomber coming?

[acoustic seal]

that's enough game for today

[next onyx]

It got buffed in the massive stealth weapons patch.

But yeah it's been a sleeper.

[chilly jacinth]

Rex

[chilly dove]

scroll wheels fire button

[reef cliff]

wheel burns...

[next onyx]

Just use an internal metronome or something.

[chilly jacinth]

Just macro it

[chilly dove]

Yeah it's really not hard to click fast on mouse, or even on controller

Now I gotta fr fr. fr fr fr. fr

[next onyx]

It'd be nice if you could have a setting that had a pseudo binary trigger for semi autos on console. Where the true rpm will always be faster but getting the two shots off would be more consistent.

I know how much of a pain it is to use semi autos on console. Especially when aiming down sights.

My ads rpm is 360 Max.

Hipfire rpm I could probably push to 400 before losing control.

Like say a gun is 450 rpm your binary trigger rpm will be round 410 to 415 to keep it in check.

@gilded goblet

It'd be a great accessibility setting in general to be honest.

[next onyx]

(For context binary triggers are triggers that fire when you both press down and release the trigger)

[gilded goblet]

Yeah

I find it really anoying

[next onyx]

That poor dude LMAO

[gilded goblet]

like the only reason i don't use the vcar is becuase it's impossible for me to shoot that fast

[next onyx]

Yeah you could tell who ran a macro back at bf5.

[gilded goblet]

and i don't play mouse and keyboard

[next onyx]

Man

Xbox bf5 was such a shit show.

Fun fact. This is what an unmoderated binary trigger looks like.

There is a small delay between shots which I bet through accessibility settings it could be hard fine tuned.

[gilded goblet]

that with mag of holding!

aaaahhhhh yeah!

[next onyx]

It's still not good. :/

Shotguns are so bad in zombies.

[gilded goblet]

yep

[next onyx]

And the pack a punch overrides the binary trigger.

[gilded goblet]

they suck

[next onyx]

That being said I'm gonna see about that battle rifle mod for the Saiga 12m.

[next onyx]

Despite all my issues with mw3.

[gilded goblet]

its a

interesting game

[next onyx]

I think their aftermarket part system is my favourite part of any recent first person shooter.

[gilded goblet]

i just play warzone tbh

[gilded goblet]

it's alr

[next onyx]

The + system is up there.

[gilded goblet]

yeah i love it

[amber kelp]

Hmm nothing unusal here

[next onyx]

BABABABABABANG

I love the idea of a binary trigger and I wish DICE implemented them.

[gilded goblet]

oh no

[worthy grail]

Anyone playing rn??

[ivory canopy]

Yea

[worthy grail]

Can I watch??

I love the game but I can't afford it, so i'mma just watch y'all do your thing lol

[snow cliff]

300 hours in the game i've never seen a cheater

past few days every single lobby there's a guy 200/10

killing everyone through smokes

the fk is going on

[worthy grail]

There's always that one person trynna ruin the game for everyone

[snow cliff]

its insane.. i'm just a casual and wanna shoot something

3 days now every single lobby has 1 of those guys

looks like the cheat just got updated or something

[worthy grail]

Damn, hard to say try not to let it get to you at this point

[rugged bluff]

Conquest broken atm? just loading Hourglass and then straight to lobby

[ivory canopy]

Time to begin playing with the Type 88 LMG

[rotund kite]

I said the same thing couple of days ago, anti cheat completely broken lol
I haven't played since tho

.

[snow cliff]

yea

played 5 matches today

on redacted/heaven

all 5 had cheaters

funny enough the current match i'm in

there's 1 cheaters

1 in each team lol

[rotund kite]

Balanced game

[ebon pilot]

i don't know where people keep finding all these cheaters i rarely see any

[snow cliff]

i tried all game modes

all of them there's at least 1 dude with 200 kills

100% accuracy headshots

idk.. time to take a break

[amber kelp]

they seem more common on 128 player servers. Do you play that much?

[ebon pilot]

i have 1100 hours

[worthy grail]

Damnnn

[kindred flint]

its time to put down the game

[shy viper]

probably just good players

I play an infantry 2.0 on mnk and have been accused of cheating a few times

[amber kelp]

IDK you could focus on certain modes

[ivory canopy]

I hope they at least do a massive vault pack to add more weapons to the game.

My list would be like this:
P38 (1942)
StG 44 (1942)
No 4 rifle (1942)
BAR 1918 (1942)
M1 Garand (1942/BC2)
Thompson (1942/BC2)
M95 (BC2)
AN-94 (BC2/BF3)
M249 (BC2/BF3)
SPAS-12 (BC2/BF3)
G3A3 (BC2/BF3)
M98B (BF3)
SCAR-H (BF3)

These are all guns that are in Portal that I think should be added into AOW. Probably won't happen. But it's worth a shot?

[fresh lintel]

Me: Gets the CAV Brawler to use the ACPDS to kill an Apache
Random: I think this is a good time to get into the drivers seat and run it down mid towards the enemy MBT.

[vital quail]

In my experience usually a random gets on the turret and shoots infantry with the it

I also equipped the flak cannon and that seat is also taken by someone shooting at infantry

[vital pier]

Is the new stuff good?

[ebon pilot]

I mostly play 128 conquest

[fresh lintel]

The Scorpion SMG is good.

The AK5C is mid but solid.

[next onyx]

Ak5c is a fantastic ranged option.

You should really use it with standard rounds and take advantage of its high as fuck accuracy.

[fresh lintel]

Its honestly shredding at range but the second you get into CQC you fold hard to anything

I do, standard 3.4x and I just burst people into oblivion

Then CQC rounds can push the range a little honestly.

Like i'd still rather use a RM68 over it, but i've been dominating lobbies with it lmao

[next onyx]

Close combat I don't like.

They havew a 74 metre 5HK range which is good but I don't like the decrease in velocity.

Standard feels way more consistent.

High powered just turns it into the SCAR.

[fresh lintel]

The CQC Ammo is just good for the ROF. And its solid in CQC (better in Medium) and what not

[fresh lintel]

Also I got it like two days ago and i'm almost at 800 kills with it 😭

[fresh lintel]

I hope DICE at least puts in AA turrets in spawns on every map before they finally stop development

Like that one small thing would help alot of maps from the Littlebird spawn camps

[zealous loom]

[pearl ridge]

I'd rather have fixed positions scattered around, along with the odd TOW.

Though in the interests of balance I'd personally rather have anti-vehicle positions be unguided like field guns, to make up for their having infinite ammo, high power, and being usable by anyone.

As for AA, we need to go back to flak

Flak guns on vehicles already have a pretty short range, so they won't deny half the map.

And they don't whiff nearly as much on those buggy nightbird hitboxes

[fresh lintel]

And they need to be tanky enough to survive attacks too because theres really no reason for a little bird to be in the spawn at all

[robust vapor]

The pie will get bigger in size

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/run-explosions-gif-13620594

[low timber]

Might as well go subsonics as they are identical to standard except slightly slower velocity

[pine roost]

Another one succumbs to the ‘bug’. I’m still holding on!

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/scaredy-cat-scared-cat-fraidy-cat-shocked-cat-gif-19461740

[robust vapor]

[drowsy iron]

Why the game only use 20% of my graphics card?

[chilly jacinth]

Probably severely cpu limited

[drowsy iron]

When in the lobby it raise 100%

[full burrow]

have you locked your fps?

[drowsy iron]

No

[sterile canyon]

THERE GOLD IN THEM HILL

[slate jolt]

Beautiful

[full burrow]

were you the one with the laptop specs yesterday? Also I would recommend locking your FPS, as even on good systems unlocked fps means your hardware is always pushing itself really hard to get you as many frames as possible

but that also translates into a not so good gaming experience because your fps will fluctuate a lot in game

so its better to sacrifice some fps but keep it consistent instead of pushing for max but its always dropping at times ect

[vocal tusk]

Yes, they are the person who is using a laptop, with 8gb of single channel ram

and their CPU is terrible for this game

8 cores, but only 4 performance cores.

TLDR...2 of the most important parts of your computer are not good enough, expect to have constant issues in games needing decent CPUs and RAM

[full burrow]

I mean I am also on a laptop xD but my specs are a bit better

[vocal tusk]

I also use a laptop a lot, but its from 2.5 years ago and runs this game well (Lenovo Legion 5 w/ 5800H/3070)

[full burrow]

yeah im i9 11900H, 3070

My native is 1440p tho but for 2042 I run in 1080p for performance

I play with everything low and fps capped 120

the game itself is just wierd tho, sometime I feel like im SMOOOOTH AF FUCK, but other times its like ehh whatever

[vocal tusk]

You could alwasy try to limit the amount of core/threads it can use from 8/16 to a specific number of 7/14 or 6/12. Would probably make it run a lot more consistently

[full burrow]

hmmmm I tried the oposite and followed a guide and added txt to the settings file so it tried to use all of the cores

and after I did it, I felt that smoothness that I sometimes get

but I forgot to make the fiile read only xD

[vocal tusk]

Those dont work. CFG files suck at setting the cores to use

[full burrow]

so I think those lines already deleted themselves

[vocal tusk]

And you should NEVER set config files to read only

[full burrow]

monkey brain monkey do

[vocal tusk]

Altho due to anti-cheat...setting affinity for 2042 is a bit jank. You have to set the affinity for EA app, then run the game. The game will inherit EA Apps affinity

[full burrow]

thing is im generally always at my 120fps or close enough with small drops in game, but sometimes it feels smoooth af and sometimes it just feels average

[vocal tusk]

Probably cos its using too much of your CPU, and it doesnt have enough resources for background tasks...so it starts to feel bad, even tho FPS would be high

[full burrow]

I never have like videos running or something when playing bf

other games I always do and alt tab a lot and shit but not with 2042

[fickle wharf]

my friend has a wierd case of high cpu usage with 2042

[full burrow]

I will try maybe limiting but I dont want to loose my 120fps either

and its not like the game is slow or laggy or anything, but yeah when it goes "elite" from normal performance is soooooo huge on the feel

im like, is this what a brain feels like if you never tried weed

[vocal tusk]

Did they just forget to enable 2XP or something?

[fickle wharf]

2xp tech missing again

[chilly jacinth]

thats for next year

[drowsy shuttle]

Nobody knows

[arctic grove]

What are some of the best weapons?

That i should lvl rn

[chilly jacinth]

whatever you want

[arctic grove]

I mean idk what i want tbh

[robust vapor]

💀

[arctic grove]

Bf 2042 is kinda ass since the class update 2 years ago

[chilly jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/deerseason-engaged-im-gif-19199737

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-stanley-did-i-stutter-sarcasm-gif-3537210

Aw shit

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, it was better when everyone ran Falck with a rocket launcher. /s

[arctic grove]

No gif perms

[arctic grove]

Nah that was ass

[acoustic seal]

could've stopped at "bf2042 is kinda ass" tbh

[arctic grove]

But they gave us a futuristic game then decide to make it 2013💀

[chilly jacinth]

how does proper classes make it 2013

[vocal tusk]

Explain

[arctic grove]

They gave us a game called BF 2042 with a system where we could create our own classes then remove that festure and basically make a Bf3/4 clone

Like

They could‘ve just remastered Bf3/4

[vocal tusk]

SO what 99% of BF players want, got it

[chilly jacinth]

every battlefield game has had classes

2042 was the only outlier

[arctic grove]

BF2042 was better before the class update

[chilly jacinth]

which clearly was a mistake

[arctic grove]

Wich was 10x better

Ngl

[vocal tusk]

It wasnt, you are wrong

[acoustic seal]

calling it "create your own class" is an insult to actual class creation systems lmao

[arctic grove]

Adapt and overcome lol

[vocal tusk]

There is a reason the player count went from 3k to 20k most days after they re-added classes

[chilly jacinth]

people did adapt

[acoustic seal]

you picked the most OP operator (falck or mackay) and put whatever gadget you want on them

[chilly jacinth]

didnt make it good though

[vocal tusk]

It made it shit lol

[arctic grove]

Maybe

But idrc

BF2042 before the classes was way better

[vocal tusk]

Disagree, but youre entitled to an opinion

[acoustic seal]

way better for what? angel bottomless rockets?

[vocal tusk]

Suppose it was better when angel had infinite armor too haha

[arctic grove]

Adapt and overcome.

[vocal tusk]

Dumb statement

[acoustic seal]

why would i adapt to dogshit

[naive ember]

Make bf 2042 great again
