City map would only be for a infantry mode

Because by 2022 they already started to put focus on the next BF
calm bison
City map would only be for a infantry mode
Not necessarily
Dawnbreaker proved you can do aerial vehicles as well as ground vehicles
stone cradle
I mean that's why I'm atleast guessing all the maps we got mostly were rural or reusing alot of assets like with Stranded's centre.
calm bison
So did Flood Zone and Siege of Shanghai

Weren't the jets there a total gimmick.

dawnbreakers map layout wasn't great, very good design though

Dawnbreaker annoyed me with jets

Weren't the jets there a total gimmick.
no because you could use them to get to the top of buildings

I thought Hourglass would be Qatafian dawnbreaker/shanghai 
next onyx
I mean asides from air taxis.
calm bison
Even still, we don't have to limit a city map to just infantry
remote kiln
f35 hovering on dawnbreaker was actually usable due to cover
very tricky to do but it was possible
stone cradle
I lived in doha, felt like such a dissapointment when the game came out and I played on the map 
calm bison
Especially since maps like Amiens, Rotterdam, Devastation, and Prise De Tahure have tanks in them
remote kiln
now if you tried that in this game you get shot down by a TV missile from the enemy spawn in a hypothetical dawnbreaker but there you go
calm bison
Lis could fix the attack helicopter BS on Siege of Shanghai
chilly jacinth
That shits unfixable
remote kiln
the attack boat is on Shanghai and you get APS too so if that was in it, it would be a mobile anti air infantry unit
next onyx
Ehh I wouldn't trust hover mode on the f35 as it's asking for a rocket.
remote kiln
it's difficult to shoot down a jet you don't get line of sight on
dawnbreakers layout means you could use the angle of buildings which intersected as mobile cover, even out of bounds aswell
the skybox was also pretty generous
it's not like this game where you get line of sight on vehicles from 600m away on hourglass and manifest
I think 2042 has distorted people's perception of engagement more broadly compared to what used to be, albeit 3/4 are going a decade now
mental delta
Me too, speculation is gonna go hard in 6 months when season 7 would be long gone
ebon pilot
you mean you'd prefer if the games had the label instead of what we currently have which is no label but it's still early access

%100 agree. It would have been so cool to have an urban map like Shanghai, Dawnbreaker, Flood Zone, or even Pearl Market or Gulf of Oman.
calm bison
%100 agree. It would have been so cool to have an urban map like Shanghai, Dawnb...
A Gulf of Oman-type map could in theory be cool - but isn't that just Hourglass without the beach landing?
dull hawk
A Gulf of Oman-type map could in theory be cool - but isn't that just Hourglass ...
Kinda. Hourglass has more open space, I think.
I was hoping they'd have an urban map similar to Devastation in BFV or Shanghai.
I really hope they have such maps in the next game.
vocal tusk
I was so hyped when we first saw Hourglass too. I thought it was gonna be Desert Siege of Shanghai
royal swan
It's better than Seige of Shanghai

Do people not play Control Unlocked?
stone cradle
I was so hyped when we first saw Hourglass too. I thought it was gonna be Desert...
Me who used lived in Doha who was happy for an actual middle Eastern map that wasn't some 'terrorist-controlled backwater village'
And it became the most hated map in the game
Seriously huge potential
The qatafian island project would legitimately be a fun modern take on Wake Island.
vale basin
Lf people to chill and play, 2042 just dm me
merry crypt
Do people not play Control Unlocked?
After the first few days, no one wanted to even touch the gamemode and neither do I.
Tbh when I play it, I don't even know who is winning cause my team can dominate all match but we'd still lose somehow
Also once one team starts getting an advantage, their points advantage lets them spawn more vehicles thus causing them to win more
junior galleon
siege is mediocre anyways
battlefield hasnt managed to make a decent big city map
maybe markaz monolith if that even counts
alpine vector
What’s the strategy to use for the new stealth bomber? Are you supposed to preemptively engage counter measures before the bombing run?
I get knocked out of sky pretty quick
merry crypt
Yeah it's the jammer where as long as you aren't already locked on, people can't lock onto you
But if a missile was already shot then tuff cookies
I think the same countermeasure was in BF4
I hope they put the countermeasure back in the original key for the bomber cause I keep popping the other ability when I'm trying out the jammer
Usually it's x key but for some reason they put it to g
Don't remember the keyboard keys by heart tho so might be different
calm bison
Dev came out and said that countermeasures are unlikely to go to the Draugr
They’re looking at feedback but it’s unlikely given how they balanced it
calm bison
I just want my rocket pods to not dust air vehicles
merry crypt
Though I hope they address the slowdown on all damage
A single percent of damage slows down the entire bomber
So if you get hit once it's over in a dogfight
merry crypt
I just want my rocket pods to not dust air vehicles
Gl with that
Was it like 30% damage to air units?
calm bison
The devs are aware of dusting and are probably gonna fix it in a patch or something

Stadium, definitely in top5 of worst maps of all time. In any shooter 😠
Spawn into 2 scatter grenades and die, OR spawn, get shot in the back and die. Rinse and repeat 😄
next onyx
Yeah spawns in this game are just bad.
I've spawned into a fucking grenade rolling along the ground.
hazy viper
Should've spawned somewhere else bud
It is not the lack of wanting to spawn elsewhere which ruins it 🙂
charred widget
I actually enjoy stadium quite a bit. I thought it was chaotic at first but once I learned the general layout I find it quite interesting. It has a little bit of everything
I do agree that the back spawns are a bit too much right in the battlefield, I guess they were trying to reduce the time-to-action when spawning
naive ember
Half the time I pondhawk
Drop down somewhere and place a spawn
Not sure if you can still do this but your spawn stays put after changing from recon
Go back to recon put a new spawn if enemy still didn't find it
Rinse and repeat
rare quest
Issue in battlefield is that spawns don't really flip
You just get spawntrapped forever
The protected areas are supposed to prevent this, but they just make it worse
Just a flawed design

Are we sending a pattern here
ivory canopy
Yea it's just a long pistol that uses P90 mags
They also make a stocked one with a long barrel (if it has a stock, it has to have at least an 16" (41 cm) barrel to avoid SBR regulations).
Non-SBR regulated rifles must be 26" (66 cm) minimum overall length as well, at least in the U.S.
That's why you see things like "AR pistols" where they're cut down ARs that lack stocks; if it lacks a stock, it's legally not a rifle, and thus the barrel can be as short as desired
I personally think it'd be better if Kel Tec instead focused on making a handgun that is chambered for 5.7x28.
If they want to model it on Five-seveN mags for compatability's sake, all the better.

But I wasn't as sure on barrel length
But yeah I think you're right on that

I realized there's a fair few semi-auto rifles that use 16" barrels so that's obv gotta be the minimum
I'm undecided on what kinda rifle I want to get.
Probably just get an AR-type
I was going to get an RDB but realized a few things with the design that I probably wouldn't have appreciated.
ebon pilot
I got a left handed AR-15

I don't believe the RDB is a bad gun; I heard a lot about it, some good, some bad. A lot of people say it has a great trigger. One reviewer said it recoils worse than other rifles of its kind.

Yes, there seems to be 15000 people in number, but according to gmt +3 time, we entered the game with friends at 2 a.m. At that time, it was seen as 10k people, but if there were 10 players in the game, the remaining 54 were bots. Here I say, where are these 10k active players? KEKW
For example, last year the active player average of this game was around 40-50k. I think there is a problem that players have decreased so much, right?

That's not technically true.
The announcement of S7 being the last stated:
After Season 7 concludes, we will continue to support the game with new in-game challenges, events, modes, and of course, ongoing maintenance, but we are moving away from delivering official seasons.
remote kiln
the comment is too opaque to mean anything
vocal tusk
New events and modes is pretty clear that they will continue to do LTMs
remote kiln
yes, but that doesn't mean anything on if they're actually new, or not, it just means they'll deliver them in that new time
vocal tusk
we will continue to support the game with new in-game challenges, events, modes,
with new in-game challenges, events, modes,
new
vocal tusk
It does literally say new right there lol
remote kiln
the comment is in relation to how the game is supported, not about the content
(with new content after season 7 instead of seasons)
vocal tusk
Im just saying, its probably not wise to tell other prospective players that support is dead, when it isnt yet
and none of us know the extent of future updates, events, challenges ETC
Saying there will be no new maps/weapons, fair enough...but BFV got 8 months of updates after its "Final update"
remote kiln
for all official communications we have nothing to believe that new stuff, that actually is new, will be added to the game, so all we can do is say based on what's been said, saying anything else to the latter regarding content is deceptive for would be players
at best it's talking about queuing ltms after support
new development stuff we have nothing on
vocal tusk
None of us know, so im not sure which is more deceptive to a player, to say there wont be more LTMs, or there will lol
remote kiln
no, there won't be new ltms, is the difference
vocal tusk
How do you know
remote kiln
I don't, again, it's all we know as of yet
vocal tusk
But...my reasoning for there being more modes comes from DICE, yours is a guess
sooo...
What?
remote kiln
it's not, you're misinterpreting a quote about seasonal content support, as new content
they're very different from each other
remote kiln
because it's in direct reference to what content is talking about, from a seasonal model
vocal tusk
Maybe an educated guess, but its still a guess
vocal tusk
yeah the last patch for content is the upcoming ltm final strike, you'll have ti...
Regardless, based on the info we have, this statement is not true anyway
Be it recycled events/content or not
remote kiln
new content* should be the correct term then, regardless it's meandering on terminology

This also isnt true, as matchmaking only places you into games with players in your region. A player playing in OCE at 2am probably wont be able to get a game

Introducing the JDAM
For the new XFAD-4 DRAUGR
It’ll lock onto enemy vehicles and either do somewhere between 65-85 damage depending on its armor
Or sometimes, it’ll do like 4 damage for no reason
And APS can block it
calm bison
Yes but the JDAM doesn’t require a painted target to do maximum damage

GM is 90 damage with target lock against aircraft and land vehicles, jdam just means you don't need someone else

Fuckers are still around like no bans ever happened
I get emails from dice that they took action on cheaters I report. Gotta report em if you want em banned. 🤷♂️
naive ember
Not all of them got banned, I reported the dude last night and he's on all the time so I'll keep reporting him every time I run into him
azure zenith
I feel you. I ran across a dude who was s800. I think he was in that HARM team everyday. And then boom stopped seeing him. Then I got an email saying they took action on a player I reported. Granted it may or may not have been him. But bans take time apparently. Which is something the devs should improve on. But I've played games where someone i think is cheating and I'm playing againt just drops off the leaderboard after I report em. But again I'm not saying that they got banned immediately. They probably need to rake a shyt. But they do get banned.
Been seeing alot of new sweaty accounts lately. Lol

then you had them players that used the bugs to rerun missions at the launch of online that got banned xD
its like you got the wrong guys
azure zenith
Cheating is cheating. For me it's 50/50 these days. To easy and cheap to just download a 3rd party programs or plug in a device. Especially when these cheat providers are making hundreds of millions of dollars. I stopped questioning it and just realized it's out there. Now I consider cheaters practice, in all levels. Good, trash, sweaty. Gaming companies have the power and technology to fix it but they don't. So no sense of me getting upset anymore.
mental delta
But on consoles it was already chaos

Weird, so are mice
But hey I've seen some CRAZY controller players
so to each their own

I think the difference in the two is controllers rely on a sweet spot, mouse relies on near consistent movement
Controllers in that case to me are easier for that because it requires less motor skill

They made it clear what direction they are going and they have many teams to work on it

At the start of bfv I thought the same but bf42s release was probably one of the worst game releases ever

That's not a document, shouldn't be in documents. It's better than the cache but ideally it should be somewhere else as people will still have issues of settings resetting due to how many apps and Windows handle the documents folder.

the more sinister problem is OneDrive backs up the documents folder, so if someone reinstalls windows they will redownload a out of date cache, is a bit of a head scratcher why it was ever chosen

Yup, its been moved to appdata/local as of update 7.2.0
ty, thats weird tho, didn't knew was a bad thing deleting it once in a while, but okay
vocal tusk
Devs have said to not delete it. As they use the existing cache to optimize shaders pre map loading/between updates.
drowsy shuttle
fair enough
mental delta
Game is so dead man.
It's because of XDefiant release
Competition is too strong for BF2042
tribal epoch
Is it good?
mental delta
Is it good?
Try it out if you can, can't say it's wonderful but it ain't bad either
It feels a bit too generic for now
But at least Ubisoft tried something new for once
tribal epoch
Like is it proper competition for legacy battlefield?
No game out there has all out vehicular warfare like battlefield
mental delta
Like is it proper competition for legacy battlefield?
Lmao never
vocal tusk
No, its a free alternative to COD
mental delta
It has no vehicles
tribal epoch
Eesh
mental delta
It's 6 VS 6
tribal epoch
Eff man. 2042 had so much potential
mental delta
No game out there has all out vehicular warfare like battlefield
Well Delta Force is coming out in few months and it's All-Out-War
Vehicles
tribal epoch
Today is probably my last day playing 2042
mental delta
But it won't be a replacement to BF
vocal tusk
another arcade hero shooter, being advertised as a BF contender.
tribal epoch
Gonna finally play halo legendary it's been in my library for so long
placid echo
From what I recall, Delta Force is going to be much more of a hero shooter than 2042 is
I remember seeing a bow with special arrows as a weapon, which is likely a hero gadget
tribal epoch
Need a proper shooter. Battlefield peaked with 1
mental delta
another arcade hero shooter, being advertised as a BF contender.
No matter how bad BF2042 is, there's absolutely not a single BF contender, COD trials on it are terrible, like large battles in MW2 and MW3 are lame lol

Exactly man
mental delta
It's fun as a new mode for COD, but people gotta be crazy to call those modes BF contenders lol, vehicle gameplay and controls are horrible
vocal tusk
The infantry combat is ok, but all the vehicles feel like RC cars. Lack of destruction is also a big thing. Hopefully next BF game is a return to form

Not only that but the weapons aren't really balanced for the ranges those maps provide
vocal tusk
Combined arms in COD and most other games is next to non existant. Thats where they get it wrong compared to past BF games. They just have infantry, then vehicles thrown into the mix.

Exactly, the 30 players per team matches were a good idea for COD imo but that's all, vehicles are just terribly bad
mental delta

Yeah last COD games especially the 2 last ones fucked up with gun balancing, just feels terrible to play
placid echo
Who would've guessed having a big weapon pool along with high customization and conversion kits for those weapons would lead to an unbalanced assortment of weapons?
vocal tusk
Feels like they dont really care also TBH.
placid echo
Have you seen that in one of the trailers (or season cutscenes I think) there was writing that even said WZ > MP ?
vocal tusk
Like the game design is done in a way that certain combos are 100% going to be broken
I dont follow COD all that much TBH, so I havent
placid echo
It is kinda messed up, having every mode being overshadowed by one
vocal tusk
I mean, its all a competition, with the games being developed by different teams, all fighting for DAU (Daily Active Users). Then every studio knowing that they need to worry about the next game replacing theirs, and having to immediately make a new one as soon as finished the last.
mental delta
It is kinda messed up, having every mode being overshadowed by one
It's not "having every mode being overshadowed by one" it's "having the main fucking mode overshadowed by a skin store"
placid echo
Which is even more messed up yeah
vocal tusk
The skins are usable in core game and WZ tho, right?
placid echo
Yes
vocal tusk
So its hardly competition
mental delta
Which is even more messed up yeah
It's crazy, to me it feels like betraying your community or at least a really large part of it, that's why I hope they don't get too hot on BF next attempt of a BR mode
placid echo
I doubt they will
mental delta
Well depends of it works or not
placid echo
Considering how Firestorm and Hazard Zone didn't really get that many updates
mental delta
If it does fucking EA is gonna go all crazy on it
stone cradle
I doubt they will
I mean they hired the creator of warzone on the team
basically confirmed
vocal tusk
I mean they hired the creator of warzone on the team
Who?
And what would a creator of warzone really mean in this context. What did they create?
stone cradle
Bryon Breede
placid echo
What position is Bryon on again?
stone cradle
general manager of BF franchise
mental delta

Huh a shitty over monetized extraction mode nobody asked for in the first place ?
stone cradle
When will Andrew learn man
1 battle royale isn't enough for him
he needs to have 2
vocal tusk
Yeah, how dare they get industry veterans to help execute a vision for franchise. Its not like some executive is going to be designing the next game or anything
stone cradle
am I not allowed to criticise said vision?
mental delta
Yeah, how dare they get industry veterans to help execute a vision for franchise...
I mean it's cool they have a vision and shit dude, but players got one as well lol and it's not exactly the same
stone cradle
And EA outright said Ripple are making something unrelated to the main core BF experience that dice stockholm are working on
either battle royale or extraction shooter

That's the BR mode mate
