[drowsy shuttle]

I mean when you have 5-20 players on your team, you can only do so much

[stone cradle]

can you still do the good company easter eggs in the game. I only got the shark, not the other 2

[patent path]

got to the final mcom again, nobody defended it, we got pushed back, they decided to STAY now to fight when they are pinged on the mini map

incredibly how stupid this lobby is

[remote kiln]

start talking to them in chat

talking field 2042

[chilly jacinth]

doesnt help

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah they don't read

[chilly jacinth]

had a guy going 1-4 saying he was solo pushing with smokes all the time

like

[patent path]

38 minutes

lmao

[chilly jacinth]

meanwhile im going 40-8 with a fuckton of revs and pushing hard with smokes

[drowsy shuttle]

I remember in bf 5 having 1h frontline matches... wasn't for the faint of heart lol

[stone cradle]

nobody likes to push in this game

[remote kiln]

it can

[drowsy shuttle]

But very rewarding when you pulled out the win

[stone cradle]

[patent path]

now I have to win another round of frontline

[chilly jacinth]

just spawn and go afk

[ebon pilot]

I played one match for 30 minutes and got a Draw

[chilly jacinth]

do something else

hope you win

[stone cradle]

frontline? do you mean TDM mode number 56?

[drowsy shuttle]

"Some people you can't corrupt.. they just want to watch the world burn"

[patent path]

all those teammates not on the point capping

LOL

[chilly jacinth]

my man has 2 fps counters

[stone cradle]

So he can monitor his fps without even needing to shift his eyes

1 for the left, one for the right

[patent pivot]

Imagine these guys playing war pigeon

[patent pivot]

Watch them ignore the pigeon

[fickle wharf]

had a 3:45 frontlines match

[acoustic oar]

what's with this slow ass loading screen after this update, takes ages to boot the game

[patent pivot]

Is your game on HDD

[acoustic oar]

no

[full burrow]

wait till it loads and you have no friends

[acoustic oar]

its the anti cheat I think

[obtuse quiver]

-_- I love EA. It works flawlessly. Totally not waiting for my friend to see me online even though I show as "online" in the EA overlay. Not playing a game, just online. 😆

[acoustic oar]

This sounds very EA pilled. And you were right, nobody is online yay

[obtuse quiver]

So it's not just a me problem? EA actually being buggy rn? 😦

[spare pasture]

Boris is now viable

[full burrow]

I heard if you just sit in the menu for 5 minutes your friends might show up

[vocal tusk]

How?

[spare pasture]

Extra rocket

[obtuse quiver]

Oh, just found out it's an ongoing issue they are currently trying to resolve. Well, at least they know about it I guess.

[vocal tusk]

But Crawford also got another, so Boris is still a pointless pick

[acoustic oar]

I like that the shop is working but the friend list is lacking, wonder why

[vocal tusk]

Because the shop is not reliant on EA app servers

[supple eagle]

is it just me or friend list bugged again?

[full burrow]

poor hamster ran its last loop

[vocal tusk]

So Frontlines utilizes persistent servers?

[wide hill]

is the event bugged? no one in my team can spawn, its litteraly just enemy team on the map

[lone void]

Skill issue?

The only problem my team ever seems to have is actually understanding what an objective is

I have gained a new hatred for friendly Casper and Irish players

They are, categorically, useless

[turbid drum]

I can't invite my friends, says "SOCIAL" is grey, bottom right. Anyone else?

[willow sky]

assuming the irish player is just hiding behind their own gadgets all the time right

[lone void]

Something something EA app problem

[turbid drum]

Do you have it as well?

[lone void]

Yeah the ones that don't push with their cover and APS

[drowsy shuttle]

what? irish players? lol

[lone void]

No I'm on PS5 it works fine

[burnt cloak]

I really don't give a fuck if this gets me banned, and I'm gonna be honest here. For a game that's supposed to have come out in 2021 and still live service today, stop putting me back in the same goddamn match on maps I don't want to play on with the same damn people every time.

If I leave a game do not put me back in that server, I left for a reason. Like holy hell how hard is it for developers to understand how frustrating that is?

[willow sky]

I fix it restarting my PC, its an annoying thing, happens ocassionally

[turbid drum]

Alright, will try, thx

[lone void]

Granted it was the same person in my squad playing both characters, but he was an absolute imbecile, either on the drone or...doing something at the back of the map as Irish

Bear in mind we were playing Frontlines

[drowsy shuttle]

ah then blame the player not the specialists lol

[lone void]

The moving objective game mode

It's unfortunately a common sight

[drowsy shuttle]

having a good irish player on your team, really increases your odds to win the match

[lone void]

I tend to encounter Irish campers on the other team mostly

Sniping from dumb positions behind their cover

Or covering a tank in APS

[willow sky]

[lone void]

Casper is just picked by the brainrot ipad kids who just want to play flappy drone

Have yet to see more than a handful of actually good Casper players

[patent pivot]

What would happen if game has war pigeon

How fucked I your team

[willow sky]

casper on the move is great and i really hate how many people don't often play him that way

[lone void]

I never played war pigeons

[willow sky]

With a coordinated squad though that is

[lone void]

So I have frankly no fucking clue

[patent pivot]

Teams compete to acquire a.pigeon to write artillery notes

[willow sky]

Tagging red dots for your squadmates and notifying that someone is near with your passive is 👌

[drowsy shuttle]

Blasco is also pretty damn strong in Frontlines

[patent pivot]

Hiding while team protects the writers

After it's done, they release the bird in the sky

[lone void]

Yeah with the lobbies I get into, I've lost before the loading screen ends

[patent pivot]

Enemies can get a chance to shoot them down

[upbeat mason]

lol playing with a casper doing nothing but that rn

[willow sky]

Another recon i tend to play a bit more often is rao again
wallhacks.

[lone void]

Rao is my GOAT

He is

I played him before all the buffs

Pain

[willow sky]

Squadmate: "hey i can see the enemy team"
Me:

we always run the rao + boris/crawford combo in conquest

[lone void]

"We"

[turbid drum]

Fix for me and my friend: start ea app as administrator

[lone void]

I always play alone now

[willow sky]

get some squad buddies... 😔

[patent pivot]

What do you think. Ninja?

[lone void]

It's me, Ninja Fortnite

[patent pivot]

Well?

[lone void]

It has an objective in it, there is no point playing with the lobbies I get put in

[patent pivot]

Never found a lobby for it?

[lone void]

I don't play BF1 anymore

Haven't for about 2 years

[willow sky]

out of all the guns that exist in the game
everyone agrees that NTW is the worst

one tapped at close range with a shotgun? i sleep
one tapped at close range with a SNIPER? nah

[lone void]

#stats

[patent pivot]

Anyway

[full burrow]

ntw does one tap at close range tho?

[lone void]

That's the point I think

IDK the meme format ain't it

NTW just cringe

[burnt cloak]

NTW with 1x lol

I have so many clips destroying an entire team on TDM running and gunning with that thing

It's such a troll weapon

[ebon pilot]

I'm so tired

[obtuse quiver]

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/EA-app-Friends-List-Issue-Presence-Update-Failed-Error-Apr-16-24/m-p/13656067 Appears to be ongoing issue rn.

[burnt cloak]

and anything chest up, up to like 175 meters I think is the furthest one tap I've hit with an NTW.

I started using that weapon as a meme to dab on a guy camping with it. Turns out it's fun to run and gun with if people aren't shooting you in the back every .2 seconds.

[full burrow]

yeah i dont have any of the snipers levelled so I also use the ntw as a meme weapon when the match is almost over and shit

but its actually really fun to use

[burnt cloak]

It's almost as satisfying as the Crossbow.

I love dabbing on snipers with the crossbow lol

[ebon pilot]

someone noticed my smoke hacks today

feels good to be noticed for doing cool tricks

for those unaware of the power of smoke hacks

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/850376380822323230/1222408768395149386/balcony_smoke_hacks.mp4?ex=662890e1&is=66161be1&hm=77d4d04255c1c6e677bcc0004187ae8eea9985724eae496eab8f8d02de05f0c1&

[burnt cloak]

How do you get the hack off so quick? My Rao takes forever

[ebon pilot]

infantry hacks take half a second, vehicle hacks take multiple seconds

most people use rao to hack vehicles, completely unaware of the power infantry hacks have

for example, hacking anything reveals infantry around the thing hacked. so you can often hack gadgets to find out where infantry are

[burnt cloak]

Imma have to take a play outta your book

Though, something I do wanna point out, is that thermals can't see through smoke in this game and I think that's total garbage.

[ebon pilot]

that's accurate to real life

thermals can't see through glass either

[burnt cloak]

I mean if you can hack people and see through smoke, level the play field for everyone else.

[ebon pilot]

i can see through everything

[burnt cloak]

I know. Rao is kinda rude.

[supple eagle]

pro gamer or good gaming chair? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1087869239278452787/1229883002847498343/image.png?ex=66314cce&is=661ed7ce&hm=cdffacec7768465e9c8f6c3f4a348dfad53768dd4f21e177b3e5a95be586ca11&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

[ebon pilot]

in the right hands Rao levels the playing field as a walking mini-nuke

[ebon pilot]

that's a pretty damn good chair

[supple eagle]

how is it possible that something like that is not banned after 2 weeks?

[ebon pilot]

needs more reports

[supple eagle]

stats are impossible, you don't even need reports

[next onyx]

Dude I got a fucking headache after mine.

[ebon pilot]

we only won barely

because if the time expires while the MCOM is armed it counts as destroyed

[next onyx]

Mine was inverted.

We were pushed out into our base but we chased them into theirs and won.

It plays good though.

[ebon pilot]

Reclaimed is hard

[next onyx]

That one with its singular base I'm not sure what to think.

[ebon pilot]

god going back and forth for the entire allotted time kills you

[burnt cloak]

Real quick, what is Rao's hack range?

[next onyx]

I wouldn't mind it if there were bases inside the buildings.

[ebon pilot]

read this #battlefield-2042 message

100m for ground targets, 200m for air targets

[burnt cloak]

Oh this was an awesome guide, Thanks for this.

[spare pasture]

What do you guys think of 2042 frontlines

[drowsy shuttle]

I like it. I would replace conquest with it

[acoustic oar]

Fuck no

Its pretty mid imo

depends on your team and the map

[drowsy shuttle]

Erm.. just like any other game mode?

[acoustic oar]

Frontline even more though, if your team is not pushing its gonna be over quickly and pretty frustrating.

[vocal tusk]

Rotate it like is done with rush/control.

[drowsy shuttle]

Should be permanent

[ancient peak]

Frontline is just trash if your team sucks

[drowsy shuttle]

Same with conquest, same with breakthrough

Lol

[vocal tusk]

So same as all other modes

[drowsy shuttle]

Blame the players not the mode

[vocal tusk]

At least with it being 20v20...a single player/squads skill can actually help swing a game

Its one thing I dislike about 128P conquest. I feel like no matter how well I, or my squad do. I cant have an effect on the game.

[drowsy shuttle]

So far I had great matches in frontlines.. played 4 or 5

Won 3

[ancient peak]

Yeah done for the day. Horrendous teams with all the worst players camping the vehicle spawns

[vale barn]

hurpel are you here

[vale barn]

i had an azaming day

tbh no not really the first few rounds were so shit i wanted to destroy my monitor

[drowsy shuttle]

I love frontlines

[turbid drum]

Just played a bit after like a 10 month hiatus from 2042. DICE have removed EMP from Casper's drone.

Now, I understand why they've removed it - fine, but now what is now the hard counter to Blasco's X-5? EMP nades? Flankers?

[ivory canopy]

EMP nades, ig

Lol

[turbid drum]

"I'll throw one over here, hope I get it!" ? 😄 Or is Casper used for actually finding it to then let ground crew take care of it?

[vocal tusk]

Find it by its noise and shoot or melee it lol

[mental delta]

Casper isn't real, BF6 isn't either, we're all fucked

[turbid drum]

Hm. Yeah. We'll see. Huge buff to Blasco anyhow. Back to droning 🎮

[white sparrow]

You can but it takes a lot more to affect anything on the field

I also find the smaller modes more competitive

They tend to be closer matches

Cuz skill based matchmaking doesn't exist sadly

[vocal tusk]

SBMM would ruin BF, just like it has ruined COD

Dont hope for it

[vital quail]

Sbmm would result in teams full of recons against each other, sniping from their spawns and getting 0 kills

[pine roost]

honestly It may if KD becomes the main ranking system

[mental delta]

That's crazy how people on this game are 50% of Fortnite bitch ass useless motherfuckers

Ho sure my ratio is bad af but fuck dude at least I can use a fucking smoke

Just a bunch of literal little cunts that don't know how to revive or capture a flag or even more forward using smokes

Like fuck it

[next onyx]

Battlefield has been like that since ever unfortunately.

[mental delta]

If people don't want to learn how to play BF there's a fucking game called COD

They can move to that

Yeah Way

But it's 10 times worse on this game imo

[full burrow]

its not really the players fault in a way

the game doesnt exactly do wonders about "teaching" you the important of objectives ect

[drowsy shuttle]

Dear lord so many scrubs wearing the body armor... sigh

[vital quail]

Pretty much describes 128 conq on manifest. 90% of the team only stays at B and ignores the 6 other flags

5 minutes in and were losing by 500

[weary swift]

🥔

[mental delta]

Not really, it's just this game had a really special target audience which absolutely not traditional BF players lol

They just tried to attract a bunch of Fortnite kids and it ended up badly

[full burrow]

idk every battlefield game you have players who are just looking to farm kills

[mental delta]

Exactly, it's not even really about knowing the game or not it's just about being logic and some people are just fucking idiots

[vital quail]

But its funny because these people aren't actually killing anyone because they are so bad

[drowsy shuttle]

Some? That's being generous

[full burrow]

for example, I play objectives a lot (I play CQ so for me its flags), I however have no idea how the ticket countdowns work based on flags/sectors ect

if that information was made more apparent, people might be more interested to play around that

[mental delta]

It's a real pattern on this game, and there's so much dumb stuff I wished we never had on a BF game (not even talking about specialists which are fucking atrocious) but like SPH or shit like this

Just some kind of Fortnite type of shit that I can't stand tbh

[mental delta]

75% of the playerbase

[full burrow]

Having information such as "overwhelming friendly presence" written on a flag your team is holding/capping might encourage players not to keep spawning there but to choose another flag

[vocal tusk]

Conquest scoring is pretty bad in this game TBH. Probably the least satisfying scoring system in any BF game

Its a shame, cos you could mostly fix it by removing the stupid sector capture points exchange

[full burrow]

all I know is when you cap all the flags it goes rly fast

I saw today it said -10 points everytime a flag was capture at the start of the round

first time I heard about it xD

[vocal tusk]

It ruins the game IMO.

[kindred flint]

remember the "comeback mechanic" in bfv?

[vital quail]

Can't lie its funny seeing the other team winning 7-30 and then we cap 3 flags and win

[next onyx]

I lost so many BT games to that. -.-

Oh actually there were two come back mechanics.

[low timber]

Kills only rewarding 50xp
When it used to be 100xp
Or 1xp per damage dealt plus 20xp for the kill, so 120xp

[vocal tusk]

ITs nothing to do with XP

The XP is fine

Its the mode scoring and how crap it is

[next onyx]

Narvik I assume being the first map developed had a very basic come back mechanic in instant vehicle spawns and infantry respawns.

But this was only for conquest.

The other early version would be the powerful as fuck capture speed which is remembered more i think.

@low timber I hit a 180 bomb are you proud.

[low timber]

If it wasn’t with PP29 I would

[next onyx]

I wanted to be sneaky recon with subsonic wrapped. Actual brain dead.

[low timber]

You never reacted to my 49/0

[next onyx]

I didn't see.

I was asleep.

[low timber]

It’s been in your DMs…

[next onyx]

Wait yeah I just remembered that.

[low timber]

For 7 days

[next onyx]

No no no wait I saw it I'm just tired as fuck.

[low timber]

I mained the AK5C with subsonics as well

I hope the lmg has a type 4 heavy and subsonics

[next onyx]

Oh yeah

[low timber]

More excited for it since I learned that it’s sharing the same platform as the AWS from BF4 which was my most used gun.

[vocal tusk]

In 2042 conquest, if the score is 300-100...You just need to accept the loss. Your team simply cant come back from that deficit.

Even if you somehow gain a vast flag majority, and hold it for 5 minutes straight. Youll lose because the enemy team only needs to get 30 kils, and 7 flag caps...not even caps that do anything to change the majority

Its such a poor system

And the only real reason I can see for it having been added, is to make rounds faster. It actively de-insentivises attacking multi-sector flags.

[drowsy shuttle]

Do you think about battlefield in your free time? Damn

[vocal tusk]

Because if you(for example) attack B sector, which as B1 and B2...neutralise B1, or even fully capture it, but the enemy team caps B1 back before you can cap B2. Your reward for attacking is -10 tickets

[patent pivot]

I dream about BF game having solo mode with AI bots

[vocal tusk]

I work in game design, so I study how games work

[next onyx]

That reminds me.

I'm not as educated as you on the matter of course. but ever since re4 remake I've tried to take a notice to how games lend themselves that kinda deal. I wonder how much more you see bsod.

[vocal tusk]

I work mainly in data and economy based design currently, but I also enjoy design from a more mechanical standpoint.

[naive ember]

Are you AI?

[next onyx]

It's super fun to identify what makes a game "tick"

[vital quail]

Slight brag but I was apart of a 600-200 comeback win in 64 conquest

[vocal tusk]

Like 2042 would greatly benefit from adopting a hybrid design for conquest scoring imo.

Say you have scoring work as it does now (-10 tickets on sector loss) but only for 70% of the total tickets. For the last 30% (Let's say it's 1000 ticket game) you need to reduce the other teams 300 tickets by either maintaining a flag majority, or kills.

That way you keep the majority of the games speed, but you don't have games end on a sector loss.

Which is the most anticlimactic way to end a game ever

[next onyx]

I was almost a part of a 5< ticket come back on bf5 squad conquest but some dude bled too much.

[vocal tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/anchorman-comedy-ron-burgundy-will-ferrell-im-not-even-mad-gif-3398767

[drowsy shuttle]

That's rare and usually happens when noobs leave the losing team and get some good players in replacement.. still rare

[vital quail]

It was on reclaimed so the map really helped out with it tbh

[vocal tusk]

Imagine having a close game that's 20 tickets to 9 ,you have a flag majority from a hard comeback and you lose because you lose a single sector, despite still having a vast flag majority. It's so lame haha

[next onyx]

Ye it would.

[next onyx]

Me when v1 rocket forces people already dying to bleed out and turn everyone else into a vine paste.

[vital quail]

Yeah I joined late as medic and ended up 42-17 35 revives and 16 caps

[vocal tusk]

Even the current scoring doesn't make sense in it's own design. Because you shouldn't ideally lose tickets at the start of a game from the enemy team capturing unowned flags. You should only lose tickets if you get uncapped and lose a flag you previously owned.

[vocal tusk]

But I can see why they didn't do that. It's a more complex system to implement and why bother when 90% of the players don't understand the scoring anyway

[drowsy shuttle]

Wheres frontlines?

[remote kiln]

front lines is ltm

[next onyx]

So was control.

Honestly.

[remote kiln]

control rotates in so it's valid

[slow tulip]

Portal

[next onyx]

Oh nah I was gonna add front lines may very well become a regular mode.

[ivory canopy]

I don't see TDM here

[remote kiln]

neither do i

[next onyx]

Though it would be really nice if all the previous ltms were on a two week front page cycle.

You know.

Squad conquest > leviathan rising event > control > horde > frontlines.

I forgot what season 6's event was.

[remote kiln]

the zombie rush mode

[next onyx]

Ye I just call it horse.

Hode

Cunt

[remote kiln]

dark creations it was

[vocal tusk]

That mode was pretty bad

[vital quail]

On nosharr it's terrible because the US side is closer to 4 of the 5 flags and caps them before RU can even get D? flag

[slow tulip]

What about hazard zone when it was alive?

[remote kiln]

I don't think it was awful tbh, the AI could have just been buffed more, the concept itself was cool

[vocal tusk]

Yes, because that Map was made in BF3 with US spawn being on the carrier, but in 2042 they just placed US spawn right beside B, C and E flags because reasons. But then never adjusted RU spawn to compensate. 😅

[full burrow]

dont know if ive tried any of 2042s "special" modes but the overwatch special modes are fucking garbage

[acoustic seal]

does option 4 mean rush or """rush""" (128 tdm)

[full burrow]

also you know when you have 2 "base" flags to spawn at, well it doesnt even always respect your choice

[remote kiln]

rush, 64

[acoustic seal]

i don't even remember what the default rush playercount is cause it's never in the game

i think 24

normal 24p rush is decent to good, 128 """rush""" is a fucking travesty

[remote kiln]

is just rush generically, assume 24/64 though

[patent pivot]

32

Bring back 64

[acoustic seal]

oh wait did frontlines finally get added?

NEW FARM MODE

[drowsy shuttle]

I think frontlines is unbalanced in favor of the US ...

In discarded I mean

Might be my impression but

[vale barn]

I did one round and it was just going back and forth no one captured anything

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah something feels off

We can't go forward the 2 last sectors

[next onyx]

Haven feels pretty biased towards the u.s too.

In a weird way.

Cause ru is forced to travel a large road on their last flag.

[full burrow]

probably going to be hard to balance without having originally planned for it in map design

[drowsy shuttle]

Second time playing on discarded and we can't go past the 2 last sectors (on Russian side) and we have a pretty good team.. but feels like US has more cover and get quickly on point while we push..

It's on sector E it's really hard to cap..

Maybe I got unlucky lol

[acoustic seal]

i know the "discarded should've been discarded" joke is old but good god please stop putting it in new modes

[drowsy shuttle]

I actually like discarded a lot

[acoustic seal]

i like the vast open nothingness between flags that you need both smoke launcher + smoke nades to cross

[drowsy shuttle]

After the rework ofc

[acoustic seal]

it's the same map

[kindred flint]

theres a good part of discarded...then a lot of bad

[acoustic seal]

there's that one arena they built out of junk cars but i glanced at the overview and i dont think you even go there

so it's just the shit parts

[ebon pilot]

it's hard as hell to attack the final RU flag

gotta run across a massive empty area, no cover, while a bunch of people on the high ground pick you off

plus there's vehicles driving around running you over

[kindred flint]

thats where you need...smart people with smokes

so assault with the launcher

but that wont really happen because teamwork is

we out here getting out MLG montages boi

[ebon pilot]

also why the hell is the RAM an option alongside tanks

In Frontlines a RAM is a no brainer

But people keep pulling fucking tanks

[kindred flint]

because dice cant balance vehicles? and makes a multi person transport OP as fuck in moderately close quarters

[next onyx]

To be fair. Tanks are amazing defensively.

[ebon pilot]

they can be amazing defensively

[mental delta]

What a good idea that was to give fucking MAV a 50mm canon

There are so many things they got wrong with this game

It's terrible

[kindred flint]

almost as amazing as giving a transport jeep a 50mm

[mental delta]

It's like they tried to fuck it up as hard as they could just "to see"

[kindred flint]

i literally cant imagine why people were camping with that

[mental delta]

Lmaooo ho yeah that was even worse

[ebon pilot]

they gave a light transport a 20mm canister shot

[kindred flint]

oh the flak cannon on the transports that were like obliterating nightbirds

[ebon pilot]

that too, but i was more talking about the shotgun

[mental delta]

They gave transport helicopters loudest weaponry than attack helicopters

[dawn nacelle]

I'm supposed to WIN 2 rounds of frontline? 💀

[mental delta]

Nah what ?

It's winning ?

I thought it was just playing

[dawn nacelle]

yeah

[mental delta]

Fuckkkkkkkkk

[dawn nacelle]

"Rounds of Frontlines Won"

0/2

[mental delta]

Dice...

[ebon pilot]

don't worry it's not that hard

[mental delta]

Ho crap

[ebon pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/so-tired-awww-cute-exhausted-gif-13603339

[mental delta]

It's fucky and tricky, impossible to win

[dawn nacelle]

wouldn't be so bad if it was a quick mode like, rush, or something. but frontlines?

[ebon pilot]

oh yeah and frontline servers are portal servers

they don't kick you back to matchmaking at the end

so you'll fight the same team over and over without rebalancing

[kindred flint]

what were you expecting?

[ebon pilot]

i expected it to kick me back to matchmaking obviously

[kindred flint]

its only 2024..give dice a chance man

brutal expectations, its just gotta bake a little longer

[dawn nacelle]

i've been steamed rolled so many times.

It's like the entire enemy team is in a discord call, coordinating. meanwhile my team is camping outside of the small flag area with their heads cut off

[ebon pilot]

but they did it in every other event mode

[kindred wedge]

is the social portal still broken?

[mental delta]

Shit lasts for 45 minutes

[dawn nacelle]

i've been playing all day, with a few breaks in-between. this shit is exhausting

[mental delta]

Yeah server browser aren't really a thing in many games for now, technology isn't advanced enough yet

[dawn nacelle]

it's gotten to the point where if my team ends up being pushed back to our M-COMS without even so much as a struggle at the first flag i just leave and find a new round

i've only had 2? maybe 3 rounds that were a nice back and fourth.

[ashen siren]

Yet this was a feature in BF4...strange how they have conveniently forgotten how to do this eh? 😛

[acoustic seal]

i keep getting rolled because matchmaking puts me with conquest andys who only know how to run around in circles

[mental delta]

Yeah as you said they just forgot how to do it, too modern technology for new Dice

[ancient peak]

People still refuse to stop playing assault for the time it takes to swap to engineer to help kill the vehicle that’s slaughtering the team, a true battlefield classic

[mental delta]

Just like classes, they forgot those existed and had to make specialists instead

[next onyx]

Ever since they reduce assaults max capacity people are just incentivised to run armour. Artificially increasing the ttk.

It's so annoying.

[dawn nacelle]

literally had a team that just ignored a brawler sitting on the m-com shitting out enemies

[next onyx]

People wouldn't even care for specialists if they were named differently.

[mental delta]

If they weren't named at all maybe

But no tbh fuck it

[ancient peak]

But who are we to lecture someone who is enjoying abusing assault classes like Mackay and Sundance right?

[mental delta]

Nobody wants such highly "detailed characters"

Like even without names you could tell they had a special thing

[next onyx]

It's sad no one remembers archetypes.

To me being the biggest advertised feature of bf5.

How classes would have run certain weapons.

[mental delta]

I'd prefer BFV system, random dude you could choose, with random clothes

[next onyx]

And have a special designated kit.

The class system in bf5 was meant to be way different. If 2042 went the same route no one would have cared.

[ivory canopy]

imho, next BF should limit gun types to class like in previous games.

[mental delta]

Even "classes" are fucked in BF2042, how could you mix Support and Medic like WTF ?

[patent pivot]

simple camo change >>>

[ebon pilot]

Hell nah

[ivory canopy]

Assault: ARs
Engi: PDWs
Support: LMGs
Recon: Bolt action rifles and DMRs

[patent pivot]

maybe 2 or 3 gun types,

[mental delta]

Ho yeah that would be perfect, or with headgears only customization, but people want their shitty 20€ skins packs

[ivory canopy]

Then Assault/Engi gets shotguns while Support/Recon get carbines

[patent pivot]

heres what I propose

[ashen siren]

Personally, get rid of specialists, and go back to basics with classes like in BF4...you have a particular role to play, set types of weapons/equipment for that class, and that would encourage people to re-engage and play as a bloody team.

Too much lone-wolf play in 2042 because you can equip yourself as anything. It's a shit-show

[mental delta]

"Nah DLCs are too expensive we don't want to pay for it even though it means more content"
Somehow spends 30€worth of skins every week

[patent pivot]

Assault- AR, shotgun, DMR
engineer- Carbine, PDW
support- LMG, PDW
Recon- Sniper, DMR, PDW

[mental delta]

BF4 system was the best imo, some category of guns were restricted but not all, so you could have carbines, DMRs and shotguns in every category

[ivory canopy]

Agreed

[patent pivot]

I dont fully agree with BF4 restrictions

take out 1 tier for each class

[dawn nacelle]

holy shit guys

[patent pivot]

and its cool

[dawn nacelle]

i just won my first round of frontline

[ebon pilot]

I like having options. It gives the game much more depth.

BF4 makes me feel like a fucking robot

[ivory canopy]

EA DICE managed to find 12 bolt action rifles for BF4. How come BF2042 only gets five?

[mental delta]

Woopsy sorry Way I mistook messages and tagged you instead of clown Angel

[patent pivot]

play your damn roles. Support dont suppress your foes with auto shotgun with flachette

ridiculous

[fresh lintel]

Yes you do silly

[ivory canopy]

One's a gun straight from BC2 and BF4, too

[fresh lintel]

What you think you're going to kill people with Fletchette? Lmao

[next onyx]

I'd rather have bf5 archetypes than bf4 to be honest.

They were super unique.

[fresh lintel]

I just want to use ARs on everyone

[patent pivot]

ew

[fresh lintel]

I hate being stuck with either LMGs (yucky bad) or SMGs/Shotguns for Support.

[next onyx]

There would have been a variation of recon where you could run suppressed smgs and interrogate people you did a take down on.

[patent pivot]

whatever

[mental delta]

Me too but some categories of guns just can't go with some classes and here are some examples :
Assault and snipers (like WTF)
Engineers and DMRs or snipers (WTFish but not the worse)
Support and snipers (again)
Recon and assault rifles (WTF 2x)

[next onyx]

Bf5 support was the best since its lmgs weren't dogshit.

[fresh lintel]

Yeah fair

[patent pivot]

can I send my god damn picture

im proving a point here

[fresh lintel]

I just like having ammo at the ready

[mental delta]

Wdym by archetypes ?

[ebon pilot]

Recon and assault rifles have you seen me play this game?

[next onyx]

It was a pre launch idea where classes would have specialised at certain roles.

It was specialists before specialists.

[mental delta]

Mixing Support and Medic was the dumbest shit ever in BF2042 imo

[ivory canopy]

Then again, BF4 uses the same gun twice but changes the caliber of the second gun. Does that count, still? I'd argue yes. There's a LOT of "similarity" in the guns in BF4.

[fresh lintel]

I mainly use SMGs on recon anyways. It plays alot like the Planetside 2 Infiltrator when you have TUGs.

[mental delta]

Now you just have half-Medics/half-Supports morons that don't know how to play none of those lmao

[patent pivot]

V fixed this by battle traits

right?

[next onyx]

Kay imagine if paik was forced to use suppressed smgs and could interrogate her enemies for information.

[patent pivot]

or rather

its Assault, medic, support, recon

[ivory canopy]

So BF1 style, basically

[next onyx]

If Casper was forced to used bolties and blasco was forced to use semi auto matic recon rifles kinda deal. So svk.

[mental delta]

Kinda yes, battle traits were cool, it mostly fixed it as well by not fucking mixing Medic and Support like WTF Dice ?

[next onyx]

Two variations of medic too.

Wait.

[fresh lintel]

Too be fair you would think that a character like Falk or Angel would scream "Dont use Medkit on Falk" or "Dont use Ammo on Angel" since they both have abilities that contradict the equipment.

[next onyx]

Three.

[ebon pilot]

Here's a clip of a recon specialist using an assault rifle

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/850376380822323230/1229881982754881588/more_hacks.mp4?ex=66314bda&is=661ed6da&hm=58f81dc27fb2bd86c713e8c9a38c9ae7637efbed68b62b74101227c2e07b5a17&

[next onyx]

Combat medic, field medic and ranged medic?

[fresh lintel]

So its not DICEs fault on that IMO.

[next onyx]

Or was field medic the ranged medic?

[patent pivot]

whats your thought on OG battlefront with a class that can fix vehicles and support allies

with a shotgun

[fresh lintel]

I prefer DICE BF1

[mental delta]

I'm puking ngl lol

[ivory canopy]

Rao is so goated

[mental delta]

🤮

[next onyx]

So you don't like it when they try something different with classes.

[mental delta]

rao is underrated af

[fresh lintel]

OG BF2 was better. Simple QOL.

[mental delta]

No Way lol

[patent pivot]

some things in that game didnt age well

[mental delta]

I just want classes and no characters at all

[ivory canopy]

BF2 was different, for sure

[next onyx]

The difference were that they weren't named. Which I feel people look at more than the actual game play opportunities brought.

[fresh lintel]

Jedi for sure yeah. But it was essentially just BF1 but better. Albeit I prefer the game without heroes to this day

[patent pivot]

one aspect that didnt age well

was the TTK

[next onyx]

There was a variation of support that would use mmgs and fucking flares.

[patent pivot]

lord

[mental delta]

There's a fucking obvious option to modernize classes which they seem to not aknowledge while using it in some of their oldest games, it's just making more than 4 fucking classes

[patent pivot]

I experienced anyserium when trying to kill an enemy

[ivory canopy]

TTK really depended on how well you were able to use the specific weapon.

[fresh lintel]

However DICE BF1 was good. Gunplay was fantastic. Weapon selection was good. Vehicles were actually good.

Heroes were limited to ONE. Per team.

[next onyx]

I dislike the lack of faction balancing on 2042 without a doubt.

I don't care that they're named though.

[ivory canopy]

L85A1, for example, you really needed to be disciplined with the trigger in order to get kills because the bloom kicks in fast.

[patent pivot]

im talking about star wars

not EA bf

[ivory canopy]

ouuuuuuuu

[fresh lintel]

And being able to customize your soldier was great. We need more of that.

I wanna be a Stormtrooper lady and a twi'lek rebel lady 😤

[patent pivot]

the og bf

[fresh lintel]

OG BF1 was slow and clunky. But it was good overall.

[patent pivot]

at least both OG games had fantastic voice lines

at LEAST

[fresh lintel]

I just wish we got more of these factions or skins for them instead of it just being: US/RU Soldiers in Sweden.

Or US/RU Soldiers when its Coalition vs Homeguard.

[fresh lintel]

Hey dont you dare diss my Tusken Raider voicelines 😤

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[patent pivot]

my favorite was GRENAAADE

[next onyx]

It would be nice if they had unique voice lined associated with the skin to be honest.

[patent pivot]

GRENADE GET DOWN

HIT THE DIRT NOW

[fresh lintel]

The fucking Clone Trooper tusken raider voice was disgusting and I loved it

[next onyx]

Imagine a more cold and ruthless Mackay with his cybernetic skin.

[fresh lintel]

It sounds NOTHING like a human.

[next onyx]

Sounding mechanical and gravly

[fresh lintel]

And right? He still looks like a Strogg but he gets no new voice lines or SFX.

[patent pivot]

https://youtu.be/KVd0F0VoXNs?list=PLMTjU9DFXkGfLtDdqyrrK-XLKZy9M4K3T&t=775

[next onyx]

Omg

[patent pivot]

this is gold

[next onyx]

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who saw strogg as well.

[mental delta]

Instead of the 4 original and "traditional" classes they could just add 2 and revisit the already 4 ones like :
Assault : base fighter with ARs and that has light explosives options
Engineer : to pilot, repair and destroy vehicles more easily with loudest explosive options
Medic : to heal and revive motherfuckers
Support : to resupply motherfuckers with ammo
Recon : to spot on enemies and give infos to team mates
Sniper : to spot and eliminate motherfuckers (from other team preferably)

[fresh lintel]

The second I saw that people were being "Stolen" and then the skins were shown I was like "YO THE STROGG ARE HERE?"

[patent pivot]

im fascinated to hear characters yell out grenade

its weird and funny

[next onyx]

Too eerily familiar huh.

[fresh lintel]

The Stormtrooper screams were funny

[patent pivot]

[next onyx]

Have you played the quake 2 remaster?

[fresh lintel]

YES

[patent pivot]

OHHHHHHH 💀

UGHHHH

I remember

[fresh lintel]

The first thing I went for is the Quake 64 remaster

[next onyx]

They did a pretty damn good job overall.

[fresh lintel]

That was my first Quake game. Quake 2 64. And Quake 1 64

They did! And the BERSERKER.

I love it. They did Quake 2 justice 🥰

[next onyx]

I remember watching my mum and sister play the original quake and didn't like it because of its colours. I preferred doom which was brighter and easier to get in to.

[fresh lintel]

The fucking YOOOOWWHH or whatever was always funny lmao

[patent pivot]

also the friendly fire

IM NOT THE ENEMY

[fresh lintel]

Yeah I prefered Quake II because Sci-Fi and colours and stuff. Plus the Railgun.

[next onyx]

Ssg pretty good tho

[patent pivot]

and I also love the hero callout lines

GET LEIA

[fresh lintel]

Quake I was good and I beat it a couple times. Its just.. I prefer muh strogg

Oh god the CT lines for grevious or sideous was funny too

[next onyx]

Both were pretty fun.

[patent pivot]

nobody said anything about skywalker. Im outta here

[next onyx]

But yeah.

[patent pivot]

haha golden

ITS SKYWALKER. WATCH THAT BLADE

[fresh lintel]

If I could i'd get myself the Iron Maiden figure. Theres like.. Two marines. A tank. Iron maiden.

Sadly no Enforcer (its not "Infantry") and no Gunner 😭

[patent pivot]

"mace windu...? now theres a complicated man."

[robust vapor]

@fresh lintel caught you lacking

[mental delta]

Wish they kept updating Battlefront 2

🥲

[fresh lintel]

"Its Jango fett, and he brought his head!"

[mental delta]

They say that ?

[patent pivot]

GO FOR THE POINTY HEAD

[fresh lintel]

Not a bullpup so its not me 😤

[patent pivot]

each class always have one funny line

thats a requirement lol

[mental delta]

Idk lol

[robust vapor]

It's always you wym

[fresh lintel]

"Its darth maul! What is he going to do? Bleed on us?"

The CTs were fucking brutal lmao

[robust vapor]

[patent pivot]

sorry to break it to you

I kind of prefer BF2 Clone trooper voice

no offense to tem

[fresh lintel]

Its never me, I always have a bullpup 😤

[mental delta]

Ha I guess only original version has those lol

Never heard those in French

They just say "Darth Maul has arrived"

[patent pivot]

heres the sad part

a lot of lines went unused

cut

[fresh lintel]

I enjoy them all. I know uh.. Jango VA and the Clone Wars VA are the "Definitive" Clone voice. But BF2 and Clone Commando just feel right.

Even if the CT BF2 classic voice would be more suited for Old Republic troopers

[patent pivot]

yeah

[dawn nacelle]

For those playing frontline on Redacted, and you manage to push the US side to their M-COMS, there is just enough time on the out of bounds countdown to run through the right side tunnels and out the window over the wall to Arm the M-COM.

It can be done very reliably and no one expects it. It's just enough to force them to breakup slightly and allow the rest of your team to push through the meat grinder

[robust vapor]

I did that and got clapped by a MG camper

Never again

[dawn nacelle]

i had my squad switch to Dozer and just bumrush the m-com over and over again

it worked lmao

completed my weekly and now i can never touch frontline again

[fresh lintel]

Yeah im gonna wait till the weekend to play it

The reddit is starting to get a little cancerous. Like every post I see is either "2042 bad play this" or People asking for help or whatever and its just "2042 bad install good game"

[ivory canopy]

I still need to complete the weekly

First Frontline I joined I thankfully was on a team and we won

[mental delta]

Tried to play it earlier today

It was painful

[ivory canopy]

It's very tedious if nobody actively rushes to capture.

Thankfully I was able to goad my team into capping by saying "They've only got five guys on C; let's get 'em"

[ebon pilot]

my first mad in chat

Ladies and gentleman, today is a great day! I've finally pulled the trigger on an OLED! Worked my butt off lately, saved up and got an LG C3 42"...going to be an awesome monitor for my PC, Mac and PS5. Just waiting for notification to click-n-collect, super-excited! 😄

[patent pivot]

wat de

[burnt cloak]

Can someone tell me why in the absolute hell, I can't deploy in TDM? Can't spawn on my squadmate, can't use the normal spawn. It just give me the sound you get when you try to deploy and then can't because of some obstruction or acts like my squadmate is in combat when they're not.

[ebon pilot]

hell yea OLEDs are great

40mm AP nades do more damage than i remember

[robust vapor]

I use them as main Underbarrel launcher

[ebon pilot]

yeah if you sit on as co pilot you'll help me out A LOT

[karmic axle]

Question aren't we supposed to get a new gun with this event?

Or is that later?

[ebon pilot]

later

[robust vapor]

later

[karmic axle]

damn okay

[ebon pilot]

this is 7.1, gun comes in 7.2

[karmic axle]

it's another lmg right?

Any pics?

[karmic axle]

Interesting.

holy fuck this mode is dumb

lmao wtf was this shit

[karmic axle]

were you playing frontline?

[junior galleon]

new mode?

[kindred flint]

joined a discarded game at the 2nd to last sector and we bounced from that to the final one...

[karmic axle]

Was it

Redacted?

Was it Frontline on Redacted?

[kindred flint]

can you fucking read

[karmic axle]

I mean I guess not cause all you said was this mode is dumb

[kindred flint]

yeah you cant read confirmed

[karmic axle]

Please point to me the spot where you said what mode it was?

[robust vapor]

o hell no

man is in another team

[ashen siren]

TBH, I was wondering the very same thing...but you got told you cannot read, so that makes two of us apparently! 😛

[karmic axle]

Fr try to have a conversation with the dude and see if we were in the same match if he was playing the same mode as I.

I wish we had an AUG or a FAMAS in this game.

[ashen siren]

F88 Austyer please!!! 😄

[karmic axle]

I'm new to this game and the main reason I even got it was it was like $9 this month

and they have the RM277 in it

I like bullpups

[ashen siren]

I think I paid like $15 outright for it...about all it's worth tbh! 😛

[karmic axle]

Oh yeah I saw they normally add a new bundle to the store every tuedsay

I know they added this crimson ones, but did they add a regular one too?

[ashen siren]

No idea mate...I bought the game, played it for maybe half a year, and since S7 happened, have pretty much stopped playing it. 😛

[ebon pilot]

It can't be Frontline on Redacted because he said Discarded
#battlefield-2042 message

[robust vapor]

Squid G casually adding me

xd

[ebon pilot]

who dat

[ashen siren]

Surely you jest...

[ebon pilot]

i don't remember names that well

if it's a youtuber my youtube is exclusively people im subscribed to and none of those people are battlefield tubers

[fresh lintel]

Theres an AUG in the files or something. Its BEEN teased once or twice.

I dont know why they just dont add them. Theres so many BF3 guns and BC2 guns that could be in the game but noooooooo 😭

[ashen siren]

Ironically, I prefer to use vault weapons...they just hit/feel/sound so much better to use.

[karmic axle]

despair

[karmic axle]

Didn't know there was a map named discarded.

I kinda just thought ht meant a throwaway

[fresh lintel]

I would literally use an AUG or FN2000 all the time if I could. Or whatever bullpups BF4 had.

[ebon pilot]

So there's Renewal, Manifest, Breakaway, Discarded, Hourglass, Kaleidoscope, Orbital, Exposure, Stranded, Spearhead, Flashpoint, Reclaimed, Redacted, Haven

am I missing any

Were there really only 7 launch maps?

I'm not counting Portal maps for this list

and I'm in bed so I'm not checking the wiki

[robust vapor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTAH9i8mamE

@ebon pilot

[ebon pilot]

ahHA so it is a tuber

mine is funny because

that's what my homepage looks like

[robust vapor]

bugged

[ebon pilot]

and i'm not subscribed to any battlefield tubers

nah that's just what your homepage looks like if you've destroyed your watch history and have it disabled completely empty

[robust vapor]

😮

[ebon pilot]

You have to use the subscriptions tab to see the latest vids of the people you're subscribed to

Sadly there's no way to make that the default afaik

[velvet sand]

new mode being one of the dailies and also stalemate city is super rad

well, weeklies whatever

[ebon pilot]

perfect for farming your T1 badges

got 154 kills in one game

[velvet sand]

cool I guess but I wasn't hoping for a freakin 40 minute match or whatever because the last sector in redacted is just a meatgrinder that no remotely competent, if overmatched, team can't defend with the amount of resources attackers get (at least as 'muricans). just feels like an unfun grind assaulting the last sector and getting pushed back, defending the point, repeat for like 4 rounds.

[next onyx]

It's going to be good for the pass that's for sure.

[next onyx]

Yeah that part is annoying.

I've had success merely being cover as dozer to be honest.

[spare pasture]

The timer could be 20-25 mins

[next onyx]

Actually fun thing. Get some people to defend your back and play the game of "how many grenades can I catch and throw back and who can I blow up"

While it won't alleviate your frustration it's funny to get throw back kills regardless.

(You can throw them back when your shield is up)

[velvet sand]

I mean I'm just doing irish trophies but this is like, braindead design for a mode

[next onyx]

Redacted just isn't the map for it to be honest.

[velvet sand]

maybe redacted is extra shit for it, but it's like...this is why i generally don't play these events. they've sorta mostly sucked

[next onyx]

Ehhh I'll be honest so far this has been one of the better events for me but the player base just makes it frustrating.

[velvet sand]

but then why fucking use redacted as a map when making the mode?

[ebon pilot]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/850376380822323230/1187582308644032542/dont_even_think_about_it.mp4?ex=662b1136&is=66189c36&hm=d6313eb0be008a1cab9197c4db902d159032ec1458c0be0000ae39476eec5000&

[next onyx]

Maybe for pure infantry action?

[velvet sand]

disable vehicles

[next onyx]

I don't mind the layout for redacted in all honesty but I miss people being able to pre cap.

[patent pivot]

I'm here to tier 1 falck

Excuse me

[velvet sand]

damn don't have image perms, but mastery 229 for falk

[next onyx]

For context in front lines in older variants you could go the next sector and have it fortified already by your team to start capturing immediately.

Though it was locked but the fact that your team had a presence there helped a lot. This time its kinda not possible.

That's my true annoyance with this but I don't think it's all terrible?

I dunno.

[velvet sand]

I just don't get the decision to limit resources on the final push but have no mechanic or consideration for stalemates there that just drag on the entire fucking duration

[next onyx]

That's always been the thing about front lines. You have a drastically reduced ticket count versus the rush standard.

[ebon pilot]

they really should increase the number of reinforcements each time you push back into their base

[next onyx]

Your final push needs to be worth it though in redacted it's painful.

[velvet sand]

gl coordinating a final push with 20 randos against even a handful of competent enemies kkthx

[next onyx]

They don't even have to be competent to be honest. In my match yesterday the weirdos were just laying down with lmgs.

[velvet sand]

it's just so fucking dumb and feels like a final "yeah, we absolutey put minimum effort into this" middle finger from dice as they sign off.

[next onyx]

Also throwing tonnes of grenades at my shield.

[velvet sand]

i'm salty, I fully admit, but this just straight went from "oh I'll pop in for a quick fun round" to "oh my fucking god what is this hell, life and existence is pain"

[next onyx]

You're tilted. It's natural.

[patent pivot]

I ain't mad

I'm just there to fuck around

[ebon pilot]

just need to shorten the time limit

[patent pivot]

I could give less shit

[velvet sand]

and despite the fact that we spent 90% of the time pushting the final enemy point DRAW

[next onyx]

I'm not talking to you.

[velvet sand]

like, seriously this is such dogshit design and I hope whoever designed this layout for redacted does not work on the next bf in any capacity holy crap

[next onyx]

Keep in mind frontlines has always been like this.

Fun fact. Before hand there wasn't a timer.

Way back when it was first released... jeez.

[velvet sand]

"it was dogshit before' remains a bad excuse for "it's dogshit now"

[patent pivot]

I'm just sharing my general thoughts

[next onyx]

The fact you were playing it on redacted which is a map not built for it showed it off at its worse.

In a normally super playable mode.

[velvet sand]

again though, highlighting why create a redacted layout and ship it then. which seems like a /5head decision to me but I'm apparently not a AAA producer/director

[next onyx]

All I played was redacted and reclaimed frontlines yesterday so I still have yet to experience the rest.

[velvet sand]

but I'll stop being salty now, my hell has ended

return to your normal programming and feel free to mock my stint in the saltmines

[next onyx]

Recons are super helpful in the mode cause of emps and the like.

[flint gulch]

Where do you talk about BFV? New here

[next onyx]

I ran a pp29 with subsonic and wrapped. So mind numbing.

#battlefield-legacy-titles

[velvet sand]

oh sorry one final bit of salty: i just realized they never shipped any actual social support for 2042 beyond squads of 4 despite the bump to 128p rofl. oh well, maybe for the next BF

[fresh lintel]

Discarded is alright. Initial zone has Verticality to flank and all that.

Becomes a bit of a snowball once you get someone to flank.

[robust vapor]

I guess I'm gonna be inside SquidG's vid

💀

[ebon pilot]

Blascos and Raos can easily carry a team to victory

[next onyx]

I wanted to try funny stealthy recon and I hit the 180 bomb with zero effort. :/

[fresh lintel]

Ah i shoulda checked that rounds stats. Fuck

Probably had like 80+ kills below 10 deaths honestly.

Flanking is OP.

I was fighting directly but also shooting at weird angles being a fucking stain.

[fresh lintel]

MP9 is still somehow the worse SMG in the game despite the headshot multi buff

Cant even kill a NVK pistol with it because you need like 7+ Headshots lmao

[fresh lintel]

Seems to fuck in Redacted at least. 82-12 :3

[deep pecan]

i so hate this visual recoil change

the red dot actually lies to you

[fresh lintel]

Visual recoil never made sense. If you want an accurate way to tell where you're aiming, if your monitor might have a built in "Dot" mode. Just puts a dot in the middle of your screen.

Wouldnt recommend third party programs since they might get flagged as cheat software.

[spare pasture]

The middle part of reclaimed is really frustrating to fight in

[next onyx]

Try the p90 and just hip fire.

[spare pasture]

Like there are 20 different places to be shot from if you try to get an objective there

[deep pecan]

spent a good 30 minute arm and disarm the Mcom

defend team has 3 armor vehicles near the Mcom is some time-wasting stuff

[fresh lintel]

I'm tryna T1 the MP9. Might as well since all thats left is the PP29, AC9 and Scorpion (which is almost done already)

However i'm the only person going like 50+ kills per match and its just a fucking snowball every time 😭

[spare pasture]

So someone on your team gifted a vehicle

[robust vapor]

poor squiddy

[remote kiln]

how do you mean, like filtering maps before entering a playlist?

would be a neat idea tbh, even just to avoid having to get into the same maps

[arctic grove]

dead game with worst possible final season

just freed my ssd from this 100gb of utter dullness

[remote kiln]

it doesnt take up 100gb lol

[fresh lintel]

Literally me with BC2 maps lmao

[slate jolt]

The bro got the banana

[wraith sequoia]

Yo

[untold flower]

dawg why tf i keep getting redacted

garbage map bro i need map filtering

[chilly jacinth]

you can filter deez

[arctic grove]

Most of the maps in 2042 are garbage 💀

ass game

[fickle wharf]

map desings got cucked by last gen and thats a fact

[patent path]

sounds like a skill issue, frontline is so easy if you just push together instead of sitting in a corner

yeah you have to scream at your dumbass teammates

the average bf player isn't made for anything besides conquest

had a game yesterday where I had to solo the obj in frontline because nobody wanted to push

[vocal tusk]

Its also a new mode to the remaining players of 2042. New modes take time to learn/understand. I also feel like the map size/layouts dont allow for flanking like frontlines did on last games

I think redacted would play much better if the flanking lanes on the sides were open

[untold flower]

@glacial quarry @robust vapor anyone

[glacial quarry]

8pm can?

need eat dinner

[next onyx]

I got 3 hackusations in a single match.

That's a record.

[chilly jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/ban-hammer-gmod-idiot-box-das-bo-schitt-gif-15097258

[untold flower]

ok im gonna have dinner soon too

[pearl ridge]

Get rid of medpens already

[chilly jacinth]

why

[next onyx]

They're not that bad.

[glacial quarry]

my record is 3 also

lol

the funny thing is there was an actual hacker on my team also

but he only got 2 people calling him out

[hazy viper]

I went 4-38 in Frontline on Redacted yesterday. That 40 minutes of my life were wasted. Sadly, I always hold on and do not quit 😄

[glacial quarry]

@untold flower playing now

[untold flower]

eating

[glacial quarry]

128 kills and lost

[next onyx]

I just got 175 with the PBX.

[untold flower]

i had a lucky streak then unlucky streak

[glacial quarry]

ak5c is weirdly strong in cqb

i think its because of the 45 round mag and the suppressed sound being softer than most guns

[patent path]

I think it's because it shoots faster too

[naive ember]

Spent 40 min on it last night and didn't feel like playing the game anymore after going to BT

It was boring most the time

[patent path]

nobody gets on the point, again

should be at least 32v32 so there are people who will get on the point if only by accident

[glacial quarry]

na

its btk is still trash af compared to stuff like pp29, mtar, pbx

but its high mag count and lower fire rate means you can sometimes wipe 8+ ppl with a single mag

[patent path]

so the losing team just gets free tanks

that's nice

[ancient peak]

Don’t worry, not like they’ll use them correctly anyway

[next onyx]

It's not a bad idea of a comeback mechanic.

[patent pivot]

Fuck it. Send the losing team gunship too

[patent path]

won by running down the clock because nobody wanted to touch the mcom or kill the tanks

imma go back to work now, this is so boring

[robust vapor]

Bro I'll be back home late @glacial quarry @untold flower

💀

[vocal tusk]

Anyone here use HDR in 2042?

[quaint vector]

Can we just delete Wildcats from the game....?

[next onyx]

Ow my hands.

For the first time in a while I actually had fun on 2042.

[deep pecan]

Discarded on the Mcom push is literal no man's land

💀

[patent pivot]

We need suppression fire

[deep pecan]

i killed like 6 tanks in just that part alone

[patent pivot]

laughs in mortar

[deep pecan]

like the atkers cannot push into the ship, but the other side cannot do the reverse either

[deep pecan]

shouldn't choose such a Chinese-sounding name

[glacial quarry]

gotta add random numbers in your name to make it more authentic

[naive quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-baby-gif-1405278719456472847

[deep pecan]

this mode is fun if you just want to grind your brain out in the weekend

[patent pivot]

Play redacted, grind falck for mastery

Pls

[deep pecan]

T1 her since 2022

she is so brainded

[patent pivot]

Just bring back redacted BT or rush playlist

And I'll grind

[deep pecan]

redacted BT is garbo

[next onyx]

It's not chinese?

[patent pivot]

Not my point

Just there to grind

[glacial quarry]

it sounds chinese

[deep pecan]

i mean, it does look like it to non-speaker

[next onyx]

To be fair it is from a game made in Japan.

[deep pecan]

gua is their term for hacker even

[next onyx]

But my name is a corruption cause I forgot the actual name LMAO.

[deep pecan]

gua or guabi

[next onyx]

I read gua as gus.

And I immediately thought "amogus" I need help.

This gave me a good laugh.

Fucking claymore ragdolls will never stop being funny.

[patent pivot]

Ragdoll still looks shit

Because of forced downed state

[lone void]

I love claymores

[lone void]

Wym, you never see enemy downed anims and you get ragdolled until static on the ground

[patent pivot]

When you get imploded by explosion, the ragdoll looks weird

Doesn't look right

[untold flower]

@glacial quarry cheers

@robust vapor we had full squad

[lone void]

It still isn't as loose as it could be and looks kinda goofy because of how stiff it can be sure

[untold flower]

me pelican song and chaos

[patent pivot]

Compare the ragdoll back then

[lone void]

Touch grass

[patent pivot]

I bet they looked better

[lone void]

I have no idea what "back then" refers to

[patent pivot]

Old BF

[lone void]

It's a gimmick not a feature, therefore unimportant anyway

[patent pivot]

Details matter yo

Just like how /soldiers are designed

[glacial quarry]

@next onyx https://streamable.com/b5jf8z look at this lol

staying in out of bounds is quite funny

[next onyx]

Jesus.

Oh that reminds me.

I haven't gotten kaleidoscope yet.

[robust vapor]

poggers

@next onyx

guess I'll be on squid g's youtube vid

[next onyx]

Poor dude LOL.

Nice shot anyways.

[robust vapor]

tonks man

He decided to add me after the match

[glacial quarry]

squid g plays asia?

[raven magnet]

2042 is free right

?

[robust vapor]

idk man he's somewhere else but somehow he landed in my region

[violet otter]

no

[raven magnet]

:/

i was told its free

by my dad

who wanted to play the thing

[violet otter]

Your Dad was wrong

[raven magnet]

didnt have access to steam so thought id ask

[naive quiver]

Your dad is lying to you.

[raven magnet]

He lied about getting the milk too

tried to escape to Alaska

[naive quiver]

[patent path]

you should go sock him in the face

[naive quiver]

[patent path]

liar liar pants on fire

go put ants in his pants

[naive quiver]

I couldn’t agreed more

[kindred flint]

lol wait frontlines is 20v20...i thought it was 16

[patent pivot]

Dice is just being generous

Lucky

[kindred flint]

well tried to join a match....discarded same as last night when i played the mode for the first time, and again the team it puts me on is all the way back to the 2nd to last sector

[vital flint]

Extra 4 players can somehow compensate for total cancellation of a game

[kindred flint]

but the server had some major lag issues...red icon in the corner of the screen

[vital flint]

Take notes ubi

[kindred flint]

lmao ok i cant play the game right now apparently wtf is this red icon again..

packet loss was in red

cant even move with out rubber banding guess i wont play right now

Has anyone experienced anything similar?

[chilly jacinth]

[west lichen]

[chilly jacinth]

Flashpoint isnt part of the frontlines map rotation

[west lichen]

idk

but i played

at that time, i thought it isn't bug so i didn't capture it

but i remember

first frontline point was conquest b1(breakthrough c1) point

and russia (my team) is push to breakthrough c1(middle)-> b1 -> a1(rush point)

[chilly jacinth]

actually yes flashpoint is in the rotation

i forgot

[west lichen]

[ebon pilot]

[chilly jacinth]

[west lichen]
