Cod zombies exists. They had a lot to live up to

#

mmmmmmmm

lilac dust
#

Yes I'm saying they needed to live up to the fun factor of cod zombies. Not copy it

#

Read between the lines

fringe yew
#

what lines lol

lilac dust
#

It's a figure of speech 🤦‍♂️

lilac dust
#

By asking for lines, you are therefore taking something that is supposed to be taken as the opposite of literal... literally 🤣

delicate sable
#

hahah at first i thought i could just stand on anything above ground level and cheese it there, them standing in T pose, i soon realized they throw molotvs when you do that xD.

lilac dust
#

Anyway back to my opinion on outbreak. Let's be a bit more generous. Let's imagine cod zombies never existed. It's a pretty shit mode on it's own. With a competent team there is essentially zero intensity on round 30 right before the elevator gets called and that's it. No puzzles, no infinite escalating difficulty. Here's a VERY easy way to make outbreak massively more enjoyable. Add more guns to buy and add escalating difficulty that simply escalates infinitely so when you reach the elevator room, you can choose to stay there to see how many rounds you can get to, before you call the elevator. It's the absolute bare minimum but it would at least make it worth running more than one single time.

What i do not like a obout new mode is the lack of variety with weapons and the operators/characters that are usefull or just too good not to is absurd, some are just useless... they could have donde something really cool, its fun but its very basic for a "zombies" mode.

fringe yew
#

still fun

delicate sable
#

Man its a dead space event they could have put the weapons in that mode for the laughs

#

Instead we get a skin for the pistol hugh...

#

Its fun i agree but i find it a bit dissapointing

lilac dust
#

And the skins can't even be used in the mode

#

Yet they showed them being used in the trailer 🤣

#

Not to mention they showed the Rorsch rifle being used in the mode too

#

They even showed smoke grenades being used. Like why do they still have the trailer team in another planet from the gameplay team

maiden crest
#

for a dead space event with isaac and the mode being the main focus making it cost money to get isaac is so stupid

ebon pilot

Casper isn't even that good of a specialist in the mode

I'm hearing som meh reviews/comments on the new mode/event

#

the tldr is: nice art (crossovers are cool), holy shit this is near-thoughtless in design/gameplay construction

patent pivot
#

What I tell you

#

Event is mediocre

zealous loom
#

I've not even played it looks mid

azure zenith
#

The devs should've made a unlimited swarm at the end. Getting more and more difficult. See who could score the highest and last the longest.

#

did recoil get changed with the update?

#

it feels hella different imo

winter sand
reef cliff
#

I wish they fix (By lowering) the visual and the actual recoil on pc: The SVD, M39 ebr, the lower preforming auto guns too.

low cypress
#

Also, wtf did they do to the nightbird 💀

How do you make a helicopter build to be lightweight and have maneuverability “in line” with something like an Apache

Bro the bots bypass Dozer's shield with a melee weapon

#

💀

patent pivot
#

Next patch it is!

chilly jacinth
#

Probably intentional

hot nova
#

Bots use hammers, so instead of sliding off shield as knife would do they do some impact damage and break dozer fingers. Dozer die by emotional damage

aaa yes... of course I just searched a bit about the new event. Didn't take me a long time to find out it's a copy paste of assets of an already existing mode in a new already existing map. This legit took them one day of copy pasting assets and call it a dead space event .

If you are curious the ole event is called Dark Protocol. The only thing "new" is the skins. That took them about 1-2 days at most.

#

Its such a lame event and thing to do, its borderline lazy.

vital quail
#

I find it hilarious that you expected anything more

Newest drivers?

lofty inlet
#

ye

#

even tried to downgrade

Revert to an older version

lofty inlet
#

already tried

I think 24.

#

The whole version

#

Not like 25.5... but 24.5

#

lofty inlet

24.6.1 is my current

24.5.1 try

naive ember

20.4.2

vocal tusk
vocal tusk

It's nothing like the dark protocol event

#

Didn't take you long to come to completely the wrong conclusion 😂

remote kiln

it is a beta driver, use the amd cleanup tool and update to the latest version

#

When I open the game it stays on a black screen. can you help me pls

frail sparrow
#

If so, open ea launcher and try opening the game there

#

And verify the files/ let it repair stuff

#

And if then all fails, try deleting the documents folder where your settings etc are stored

solemn robin
#

I did everything but still black screen

frail sparrow
#

Then I'd contact ea support

Anyone had issues with steam overlay not working in the game?

#

hello guys

#

do you need ps plus to play battlefield 2042 ??

vocal tusk
#

Yes, you need it to play any game with online multiplayer. This game has no offline mode

vast tangle
naive ember
#

It's basically free you know

#

It's weird that you have to pay 10$/month to play multiplayer

#

Console players are wild

vocal tusk
#

Member when you had to pay that AND games (like bad company and bad company 2) also made you buy an online play pass? 🤣😂

hot nova
#

What? No way it was a real thing

vocal tusk
#

Of course it was haha

patent pivot
#

Twisted metal PS3 was like that

vocal tusk
#

Yeah, in the Xbox 360/PS3 days it was common.

patent pivot
#

Some things never aged well

#

And I bet there is a similar practice today

#

I can't recall what game

vocal tusk
#

I mean, in an era of season and battle passes, where you have to pay more to get access to such things in 70 dollar games...are we much better off?

hot nova
#

Battle passes don't lock you from real game content(usually). Cosmetics are not important from gameplay perspective

naive ember
mental delta
naive ember
vocal tusk
#

Alternatively online play could just be free with your 500 dollar console, playing your 70 dollar game.

#

It's too accepted for it to ever change now tho.

naive ember
#

2042 is basically free too, look at all the content we have for only a couple bucks

vocal tusk
#

The annoying thing about 2042 tho, is that you can't choose the map you want to play. So while it has a decent amount of maps for a new player, chances are you will rarely play your favorite maps consistently

woeful coyote
#

did a bunch of people jsut time out?

woeful coyote
#

Honestly I think having a battlepass did some degree of damage to the overall Battlefield vibes because a lot of the fun servers are weekly mission restricted

vocal tusk
#

We have all core modes available most of the time. My main issue is I can't play the maps I want against actual players.

patent pivot
#

2 issues I have with BF, and other shooter games as well

vocal tusk
#

I quite like discarded 128 rework, but it's been months since I've seen it in game, despite playing conquest large most days.

patent pivot
#

Restricted map and mode

#

If there isn't a server for it, dead

next onyx
#

Oh no it'll be too complicated they say

vocal tusk
#

Won't happen for this game.

next onyx
#

Oh no I've accepted that.

#

But I mean it may set a shit standard for future games.

vocal tusk
#

They 100% could do persistent servers, but they seem to always have queuing bugs that kill a server when they try to do it.

next onyx
#

Everyone's used the idea of disbanding lobbies so they don't realise it exists.

#

There's no information that persistent servers exist.

remote kiln
#

what I don't get is why they didn't just add a filter option that you use before entering a playlist

#

literally just solves the problem

#

but oh well

hot nova
#

Some maps would be dead with those filters xD

woeful coyote
#

I've got this relationship with Orbital 128 where it's full of nostalgia because I played the beta, but I don't necessarily love it in the moment

vocal tusk
#

But if the next game doesn't have persistent servers, map rotations without matchmaking between rounds and a server browser for official games and modes...ill probably just stop playing Battlefield

remote kiln
#

no

#

they wouldn't be

#

because playlists rotate

next onyx
#

Like

#

It's so easy

remote kiln
#

not like that

next onyx
#

Oh no but that's my variation.

remote kiln
#

just a filter to select what map you want to play before entering the playlist in the first place

next onyx
#

That'd help too.

vocal tusk
#

Too many funnels

remote kiln
#

then it rotates like normal

vocal tusk
#

That's why

next onyx
#

Watch them make the most complicated HUD.

#

And it's like that because they were rushed to shit.

hot nova
#

yea, it took them so long to repair 2/10 game to 6/10 game. Hope (cuz that's all that left) that they take their time to patch frostbite 2 and make decent next game

mental delta
#

PS Plus is anything BUT free

#

You literally pay for it

#

I don't give a shit about the price of games they "give you for free"

naive ember
#

Died? You said this game died during season 6

mental delta
#

You still pay for it

naive ember
#

Whats your definition of a dead game?

mental delta
#

Sure maybe some games are expensive and you get those for far less after buying PS Plus but you still pay for it

#

If you don't get that you're just braindead at this point

mental delta
#

It was mostly a strategic move

naive ember
mental delta
#

You don't see games that sell well coming to PS Plus so shortly after release

mental delta
naive ember
#

The conversation died kid let it go

hot nova
#

bf2042 was 'dead' at one point... they just revived it

mental delta
#

Like it's been given in PS Plus because they updated it a lot with content and game fixing updates

#

They just wanted to regrow a playerbase for it knowing game had a too rough launch for people to buy it

naive ember
mental delta
#

So they just gave it for "free"

mental delta
#

Game was dead at some point

#

It kinda regrew a playerbase

#

But not that much

naive ember
#

I'm done bud

#

Lmao

mental delta
#

Then EA wanted it as monthly game in PS Plus to be like "hey try our game we fixed it and it's better now"

mental delta
vocal tusk
#

It was dead in the start of 2022

mental delta
#

Connect the few brain cells you have

mental delta
naive ember
#

A bunch of full 128p lobbies dead ok 👍

vocal tusk
#

Look at those average players on steam in the first 4/5 months of 2022. 4 months post release

mental delta
#

That shit is wrong btw

#

At some point it was complicated to get into 128 players even in Europe

#

It would take you 1 fucking minute

#

With 1 additional minute once in the match as you had to wait for more players

vocal tusk
#

Id guess the only reason conquest 128 even still exists in the matchmaking is because it is an advertised feature

vocal tusk
#

They should just keep the game at an extremely low price tho. Its at least affordable and a low risk cost of entry for a relatively solid game these days. Especialy when no more content is coming

#

Would help with keeping a healthier playerbase while we wait for the next game

mental delta
#

This one hasn't been appreciated a lot

#

It became better

#

But it's still not what people want to play when they buy a BF game

vocal tusk
#

Well they are, im just saying they should keep cost of entry at a very low price. Make their money on store sales instead

mental delta
#

They're just sweating their asses over making BF6 and that's the right thing

#

Yeah I get that

#

Won't change much though I think

#

People are gonna wait for next game rather than playing this one

vocal tusk
#

Sure, but at least with the price closer to 20 bucks...some people would buy and play this game as an alternative to others.

#

At the same time, games liek Delta Force will be coming out FTP...so who even knows (I dont think Delta Force will be it tho)

mental delta
#

Idk what to think about Delya Force

#

It's been announced a while back but they've been struggling to give a release date for more than a year

#

At this point they might have even not announced it

#

BO6 is this year's COD and people are probably gonna play it

vocal tusk
#

It will have mobile crossplay, so that about all I need to know

mental delta
#

Moreover next year COD is BO2 sequel so if BO6 is hugely appreciated and marketing for BO2 sequel is good I think BF6 is gonna have a huge competitor

vocal tusk
#

Black Ops 2 sequel? But...we already got Black Ops 3?

mental delta
#

Yeah it's BO2 sequel apparently

#

Directly set after BO2

mental delta
#

To say the least

#

But I'd like to see how they'll manage pre-futuristic weaponry of a gunsmith

#

Shit is gonna be crazy

#

Can be in both good or bad way lol

vocal tusk
#

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.5

#

Probably fine as they probably wont number it. Just have it as they did with games like Ghosts

pearl ridge
#

I think they should just get rid of the gunsmith system because it’s impossible to balance effectively

#

And that’s not getting into how half the modifications are mechanically impossible

next onyx
#

I'm interested to see how a 4 year dev cod will go but

vocal tusk
#

I mean they probably wont have it be a numbered Black Ops

AKA...It could be called Call of Duty: Black Ops Renegade

next onyx
#

Matchmaking just makes me not want to play it.

In Outbreak, you may have to improvise to survive. Earn ribbons to unlock:

💠 Future Imperfect - Weapon Charm
🎴 Genesis / Necrosis - Player Card
🏷️ Unifier - Player Tag
🔫 Made Anew - MP28 Skin

mental delta
#

It looks interesting for sure Way but we gotta wait for it yes

woeful coyote
#

I thought 8 objectives in a round was gonna be a tricky one for me; not realizing Outbreak has enough to complete it

#

now I just need about 400k experience to hit my goal for the week

delicate sable
#

¿Arent all these games just the same but with different skins?

#

Like call of duty, battlefield.

remote kiln
#

bad bait my guy

#

need to try harder next time

woeful coyote
#

There's definitely some things I think CoD does better, but nobody beats Battlefield on sense of scale.

delicate sable
#

I remember what i liked was the campaign and new modes in cod.

#

It got more boring over time

woeful coyote

woeful coyote
#

is SC actually remotely close to finished yet?

remote kiln
#

first game to implement it in a way which works

#

will it ever come out? probably not but it always a cool tech demo

vocal tusk

Worlds most expensive tech demo 😄

woeful coyote
#

Thinking on my wishlists for whatever the next one is, and one of the things I'm hoping for is like a hybrid of 2042's weapon customization with one that has more things to swap out.

#

add some like internal options that can't be changed in-mission

Wow

Just checked in to see they added a new launcher

How do you mess up…a reused gun💀 that’s actually crazy

#

Bro the next bf

#

It’s actually crazy how in 2010 we used to be excited how the next installlment of bf/cod would bring great crazy unheard of innovations

#

And now the only consistent innovation

#

Is innovating ways to mess up the game

#

The SRAW is a reused asset

#

all they had to do was copy it. BF devs the type a dudes to copy the smart kid’s hw, then still get an F

fiery shoal
#

o god no, its randomly complain about bf/cod time

vocal tusk
#

What is wrong with it?

foggy delta
#

not worth explaining

fiery shoal
#

usually full of stupid shit, same old same old

vocal tusk
#

The launcher

#

How is it not worth explaining?

#

Youll type 4 paragraphs about how the game is shit, but not explain your issue?

foggy delta
#

It would be like explaining why jumping off a cliff is a bad idea

vocal tusk
#

How many rounds does the SRAW have?

fiery shoal
#

tell me where bf touched you

foggy delta
#

I mean it doesn’t matter there’s 1 trillion things wrong with 2042

#

so me explaining 1 thing is just like

#

Meh

fiery shoal
#

thats still less things than whats wrong with you

foggy delta
#

🤣

vocal tusk
#

Its pretty easy to explain the things wrong with a launcher, is it the scope zoom, the sound other players get, the UI element other players get, ETC

Deliverables?

vocal tusk
#

Things (features) a game needs to provide

hearty kiln
#

Still think server browser for base game is easily doable

vocal tusk
#

I doubt it is

foggy delta
#

Nah it’s not

hearty kiln
#

Surprised that there wasn't more of a call for that on release

#

Why?

foggy delta
#

Game likely has serious issues internally

vocal tusk
#

All the servers used for AOW are cloud servers, spawned on demand. There are no active servers, available to be browsed.

foggy delta
#

Lmao

#

That’s why sometimes you queue into a server by yourself

#

🤣💀

#

Your discord buddies vs 20 bots and 2 players

hearty kiln
#

So why not do it traditional way like they did with portal? There's no matchmaking anyway so it just adds an extra hurdle and forces bot lobbies

foggy delta
vocal tusk
#

TBH I have never seen that. My main issue is being loaded into an ending/already over game. But ive legit never joined an empth game, or a game with only AI

foggy delta
#

it’s just too late

vocal tusk
foggy delta
#

I mean in the next BF they’ll probably have it

If they don’t it’s a wrap

vocal tusk
#

Not a team/squad based game

hearty kiln

foggy delta
vocal tusk
#

Hazard Zone

fiery shoal
#

still blows my mind people believe that..

foggy delta
#

Playing the dumb DMZ hazard zone mode

#

Bruh the TTK

#

like it’s unreal

#

I can’t imagine a BR with instant death 24:7

vocal tusk
#

If you look at the game and the way its built, its pretty obvious that AOWs backend was built not for classic modes and teams, but for a mode closer to hazard zone

fiery shoal
#

did people not play FS?

foggy delta
#

It’s actually crazy cus only bots play hazard zone, and I’m so sweaty, but I literally had to try so hard to get 5 wins in a row for the card

#

Cus the TTK makes it so any bot can instant fry you

hearty kiln
#

Next game should definitely switch back to server browser. And no BR mode!

foggy delta
#

I’m not sure if they won’t try a BR

vocal tusk
#

I wouldnt mind a decent BR game, but the main part should be player, platoon and community focused first. Everything else comes after

fiery shoal
foggy delta
#

I mean warzone BR is by far the best FPS BR

#

I don’t think Dice can match it

fiery shoal
foggy delta
#

Despite the bar being so low

vocal tusk
#

Dice and their support studios dont have the capacity to make a F2P BR and a main core BF game

foggy delta
#

Clearly

hearty kiln
#

There's a billion battle royales, it's a saturated market if you ask me. They've already failed with 2 in a row now

foggy delta
#

Well the BAR is super low

#

It’s not a problem with saturation

vocal tusk
#

I dont know why people get so hyped or butthurt when anyone mentions BR, its a game mode like capture the flag thats just popular at the moment.

hearty kiln
#

It takes a huge chunk of dev focus now

slow cobalt
#

Capture the flag was such a awesome mode back in bf3. So many fun moments.

hearty kiln
#

I don't personally like br but am forced to have one in every fps I play

foggy delta
#

BR feeds the battle pass model

vocal tusk
#

Mechanically...building a BR is relatively simple

foggy delta
#

Battle pass model feeds into this terrible, 0 IQ, low tier content

#

Want a spray?

#

💀

hearty kiln
#

Balance for br is typically not my preference too with the super long ttk compared to main modes

#

Shoot shoot shoot shield down shoot shoot shoot knocked down shoot shoot shoot dead finally vs shoot shoot dead

foggy delta
#

honestly EA needs to just abandon the battle pass system

vocal tusk
#

Na, not at all.

foggy delta
#

Can’t wait to get my charm🎉

#

wow a charm🎉

vocal tusk
#

The battle pass and weekly missions in 2042 are one of the good things they actually did

slow cobalt
#

I hope they bring dog tags back in the next battlefield game.

hearty kiln
#

Just make more/better cosmetics, the 2042 stuff is pretty barebones. Not much to enjoy/buy

vocal tusk
#

they were fine for most seasons, outside of season 7

foggy delta
#

I mean 2042 battle pass is just unused assets

#

They have the intern make random assets

#

And then that’s what they put in the BP

hearty kiln
vocal tusk
#

Bring back BC2 Dogtag collection system. where it was a trophy cabinet of all the players you got tags from.

slow cobalt
vocal tusk
#

My clan back then had wars over players getting each others tags, or one player having anothers tags more haha

slow cobalt
#

I was hoping that they would have put some naval maps in 2042.

foggy delta
#

Lol

vocal tusk
#

I was hoping this game would be BF4 but modern, but we cant all get our wishes haha

foggy delta
#

I mean to be fair the game will, no matter what they add, always be a flop, if they can’t even get the gunplay right

vocal tusk
#

The blueprint is right there, just do that, but modern

foggy delta
#

2042 to this day has the SLOWEST actualization to registration delay

#

On ps5, compared to all other games, it feels like you’re playing underwater

slow cobalt
#

Doubtful DICE will be able to make a great battlefield game ever considering most of the veteran devs left the studio.

foggy delta
#

It’s a constant .2 second input delay

#

It doesn’t matter if DICE published warzone 1 and battlefield 4 in the same game

#

Nobody will play that trash if the input delay is still at that embarassing .2

#

It’s especially concerning considering how well even the worst studios like IW and RIOT make FPS games

#

2042 needed 5 more years in development. But the problem is, if Dice doesn’t get a grip, their dev time will be LONGER than the console cycle

#

meaning the games they make will not be properly speced for the systems they run on

Hello!, I bought Battlefield 2042, an error pops up when I start it, what should I do?

vocal tusk
#

Depends on what the error says, but bear in mind that while some people can try to help you, this isnt a tech support discord. 😄

Hello! I’m messaging here to ask anyone if they know how to make a specific vehicle/vehicle weapon do more damage, or at least for someone to let me know it’s possible.

What I’m looking to do is make it so that the cannon (just the GAU-8 main gun, not the rockets or missiles or anything.) to kill tanks with 2-5 shots to the vehicle.

#

Didn’t get a response in the #portal channel fast enough for my liking, so I’m asking here.

#

The only ways that I can think of after exploring everything I know about the experience creator, is to increase all vehicle damage with the vehicle damage multiplier, or to lower vehicle all vehicle health.

Both of these kinda but don’t really work, they definitely aren’t ideal. The main reasonings behind them is that the all vehicle damage multiplier would mean that any AA fire to the A-10 would kill it quite fast too, not just the tank on the ground. And same goes for lower all vehicle health.

# hard prairie Hello!, I bought Battlefield 2042, an error pops up when I start it, what should...

Depends on your rig and how you installed the game. I'd start with uninstalling and reinstalling. And depending on what graphics card you got. Make sure you get the AMD or Navida app. So it can sync you setup and even help optimize your settings based on the performance or quality graphics you may want. Also bare in mind. This is a very CPU demanding game. Which is why a lot of us struggle with mouse input. So you may need to sacrifice resolution and/or frame rate to run it smoothly. If you're still getting an error could be something arguing with the anticheat like an anti virus it VPN. Best of luck to you. See you on the Battlefield. Lol

At the spawn menu right click on the map to open the vehicle spawn menu

If there's a vehicle available you can click it to spawn in it

If there isn't one then you can wait or play as infantry in the meantime

Talking about how a game can perform after it launch is considering the game is gonna have a good launch

#

Which seeing the last 2 games may not be the case

mental delta
pine roost
#

Although a lot of that is probably down to returning to a fictional setting

#

Our understanding of the world war settings can naturally introduce a lot more of a vivid atmosphere. But chucking us into a setting without much setup or story detail would naturally lack that

mental delta
pine roost
#

Doesn’t help that it couldn’t stick to any specific theme given how the idea of ‘world is ending’ clashed with the tone of the specialists

mental delta
ebon pilot
#

did it though

pine roost
#

Cause that had a campaign to really set the scene, and its voice overs, visual style and even gameplay stuck to a specific tone which helped a tonne. I’d say it has less than the WW games purely on the atmosphere front, but far better still than this

ebon pilot
#

Campaigns really help with establishing a consistent tone

#

and for introducing all relevant game mechanics

which makes it disappointing that dice is moving away from them

Use the amd app. I use the navida whiper mode. And it helps optimize settings per game. It'll set the settings based on the optimization of your cpu and gpu. Also this game is very cpu demanding. Is your what ryzen 7 series do you have? 3700, 5700, 7700? Also your anti-virus could be fighting with the anticheat. Trust me I have an extremely budget set up. Way more budget than yours. It's something simple. I'll drop the link to of the video that helped me with not slapping the ceiling of my cpu anymore.

Is there a better way for infantry to take out air vehicles other than AA rocket launcher? All they do is fire flares, hide while it recharges and get back

Doesn't help that I'm usually the only one trying to take it down

meager coral

Why all the servers are empty

#

I cant get into a game

remote kiln
#

you only use those in a last situation where they are near death, it is not optimal to sit trying to lock onto targets all day

small hatch
#

Yeah I mostly used it for it's purpose: spook them off

remote kiln
#

that's exactly what you shouldn't be doing

small hatch
#

I guess the AA tank and Lis's RL is the best way

remote kiln
#

your objective is to shoot down aircraft, not to alert them that you're nearby and allow them to take cover and then come down to kill you after, the element of surprise is the wildcats biggest advantage

small hatch
#

it just works as area denial I guess

remote kiln
#

the AA rocket launcher gives away where you are similar to before, they should not be used for long distance lock ons except where they are guaranteed to have dumped their flares

small hatch
#

Yeah it's just that it's pretty hard to take on nightbird solo because teamwork is often lacking and I suck with air vehicles

#

but it should be pretty easy with wildcat from what i've seen

wicked marsh
#

The best way to kill them is if you bring them under pressure causing mistakes

#

But for that u need mates

#

And don’t only lock on spam cuz the time ur wasting locking on I can fly away

If u as

#

AA*

#

But the best method is to simply learn to fly urself ngl

#

and of course I get focused, even if juggle behind cover the splash from rockets kill me anyways

the nightbird isn't difficult to kill, it dies in under 10 seconds to the 20mm cannons on the wildcat, they're just better than you at being able to out manoeuvre

it dies either way

Any skilled pilot can fly away unless he’s flying above u for some reason

fly away from what? the 20mm aa cannons have a 600m range lol

wicked marsh
#

Believe it or not but u can fly behind things

remote kiln
#

yeah you can fly behind things if you know the wildcat is nearby

#

the entire point is that's exactly what you want to avoid

#

locking on with rockets isn't going to save you

wicked marsh

Well ofc

remote kiln

and quite frankly if you sit on a hill locking on all day with anti air rockets you deserve to get killed by the pilot

People only spamming lock ons are stupid as hell either way

I wouldn’t even hate lock ons as much

If it wasn’t for the daugrs broken counter measures

it's literally a free kill for the wildcat

you're not pissing him off you're just doing him a favour lol

Which is probably due to 85% of the AA players being mad crying babies with the skill level of a potato but yeah

small hatch
#

He would be better off farming my team without any resistance

wicked marsh
#

Good AAs don’t really have to kill jets and helis to make an impact

remote kiln
#

that's what he wants you to do

wicked marsh
#

If I constantly get stopped mid attack it reduces my kill chances by a lot

I'm wishing to try and find people on BF2042 to play against the bots with. I'm just wishing to relax on the game at this point and be social with people. I pretty much play the game by myself at this point

if this is a nightbird, the jet isn't focusing them lol

small hatch
#

precisely

remote kiln
#

what?

small hatch
#

the rest of the aircraft doesn't have free reign

remote kiln
#

they do? you just agreed with me the nightbird isn't getting targeted by anyone else?

wicked marsh
#

I mean I recently had a round with no good jets in the other team one good aa but it had to fight two other jets and other than that only some Liz spammers and that dropped me 120kills

#

The best u can do is have the ability to fly urself too

wicked marsh
remote kiln
#

yeah

small hatch
#

Like you said a jet isn't focusing nightbirds, it's either focusing infantry or other air vehicles, no free reign from them

remote kiln
#

and the nightbird kills them lol

wicked marsh
#

All other helis are easy to kill with the hydra pots or 25

wicked marsh

wicked marsh
#

But the nightbird is not the worst vehicle imo lol

remote kiln
#

if you think a nightbird cares about a MBT tank or something else on the ground that isn't a wildcat you're smoking something

small hatch
#

If i'm focusing on a nightbird and forcing him to retreat the other air vehicles from the enemy team don't have free reign because said vehicles are being focused by my own team

remote kiln
#

uhh

#

what's the jigsaw piece youre missing

wicked marsh
small hatch
#

I just don't understand your point of giving free reign for other air vehicles if I focus on the nightbird, perhaps I misunderstood something

wicked marsh
#

It was like I was their only enemy

remote kiln
#

the other wildcat, who is competent isn't doing that, and the rest of your teams aircraft are 90% already dead lol

#

because they got shot down by the jets you didn't target

#

you are doing the enemy team a favour, and helping them, it's not optimal as you're thinking

small hatch
wicked marsh
#

A jet is far more dangerous than a nightbird

small hatch
wicked marsh
#

Out of tactical view if u actually look to play for the team and win a round

remote kiln
remote kiln
#

oh my entire teams tanks and helis are all dead I wonder why yeah it's this damn nightbird that's for sure let's keep targeting them

small hatch
#

But my entire team tanks and helis aren't all dead

#

they just ignore the nightbird

#

and do their own thing

remote kiln
#

yeah.. cause that's what they're supposed to do.. they understand their role, you dont

small hatch
#

sometimes they do target them of course, but good pilots stick far away enough and I have to type in chat for help

wicked marsh
# remote kiln ^ lol

See it like this, a helicopter drops its 90 infantry kills and possibly stops one flag being taken but a jet esp the daugr can easily clear out whole flags with one attack and can take out most vehicles out of the enemy team aswell

remote kiln
#

they can kill the entire spawn if they want

#

the cluster bombs are a chain fragmentation explosion they can literally wipe out the entire team on spearhead

wicked marsh
remote kiln
#

yeah but something the nightbird is the problem or something lol idk

wicked marsh
#

Xd

remote kiln
#

dice really should have a tutorial for vehicles it's kinda their fault

wicked marsh
#

Nightbird is the worst vehicle for actual impact on the game bruh

wicked marsh
remote kiln
#

yeah it's primarily their fault why these "strategies" are made

#

people using jets as taxis and wildcats as sitting silos are symptoms of wider issues with the playerbase

wicked marsh
#

I mean tbf teamplay in 42 is terrible if people would play like 10 more together flying would be much harder

remote kiln
#

tall order for that lmao

wicked marsh
#

I mean if the enemy team has the jet then

#

They can do a shit ton of damage

remote kiln
#

the games already over at that point

wicked marsh
#

We had one game were we had all 4 jets on Idk I think it was flashpoint and I can tell u no one had a chance

#

Like the aa had 3-4 jets using hydra rockets on them and the stood no chance

remote kiln
#

if it's flashpoint then they definitely had no chance cause of the map layout

small hatch
#

Relying on teamwork is often frustrating tbh, works for any battlefield

remote kiln
#

it's not like kal where the spawn is half a city block and everyone becomes free pickings

small hatch
#

But usually on BF5 and BF1 I stood a better chance solo against vehicles in case people weren't doing their task

wicked marsh
#

Because they no longer focused on it either

small hatch
#

I just have under 20 hours on BF2042 and i'm trying to have a better grasp of this game, so I appreciate your help

remote kiln
#

I mean they didn't really on 4 either
