battlefield-2042

[ivory canopy]

This LITERALLY ONLY HAPPENS when I'm inches from a T1

[nocturne vortex]

BF 2042 Windows 11 24h2 AMD GPU not working

[remote kiln]

Lower than expected performance or excess stutter may be observed while playing Battlefield 2042 on Radeon™ RX 6000 and 7000 series GPUs. [Resolution targeted for 24.8.1]

pay attention to your products

[fiery shoal]

I mean it’s completely random

[ivory canopy]

Team literally just up and died then

[ivory canopy]

Did XM8 LMG get shadow nerfed? I find it far less usable than before.

[vital quail]

People be customizing the condor with skins and turret with no idea how to switch flight modes

Sad af

[ebon pilot]

people be customizing the condor just to slam it into the objective as their personal taxi

[patent pivot]

I cannot imagine what they would do in gunship

[hollow prism]

anyone got a aim trainer code??
\

[next onyx]

Condor slam jam.

[modern oar]

Is battlepass removed & new mode cant even find ppl fill a server

[torpid falcon]

Good SMG's to use?

[cloud token]

bro why do people cheat in this game

i just spawned and this dude instantly turned around, aimed right on me and melted me. like how can you tell where i just spawned

[remote kiln]

spawn points in the game aren't random, you can predict them

[cloud token]

so him running through a hallway that leads to 3 different pathways, then i spawn in 1 of the pathways and he instantly turns around, jumps the corner and aims right in my spot and kills me, in breakthrough infantry mode, is prediction? out of the 32 people spawning, then me ziplining to the top of the oil rig and him by the flag is able to shoot through the crate and kill me is also prediction? i get what you are trying to say but in a match like that, no way, thats total bs excuse

[vital quail]

128 exposure has like 12 flags and only squadmate and I had over 6 caps

Bruh

[versed sorrel]

Battle pass is all over an it was the last one

[modern oar]

Oh dam didnt knoe

[final plume]

The game feels so dry...

[stone cradle]

Well yeah, no more major updates

[untold flower]

dont worry guys ill update the game

[stone cradle]

ok everyone let's fund heron breaking into dice stockholm or motive studios to push updates secretly

[oblique vigil]

What happened to my gunship GL

[tawny carbon]

Heron is a undercover dice dev

[naive ember]

Pour some water on it

[hazy viper]

Frontlines, where are you? 😢

[upbeat sand]

feels bizzare that we have returned to pre season colours

[oblique vigil]

How am I supposed to farm the draugr now

This will take days

Just give me the AGMs already 🙏

[ebon pilot]

when players spawn they make a noise

like shaking a bag of metal

[chilly jacinth]

i mean he clearly explained that he was moving around

not dying instantly

[mental delta]

Yes

Game is done

Wait for BF6 next year

[ruby loom]

How r u supposed to play good with the XFAD-4 Draugr when u dont even have anti lock flair. The Wildcats just shoots u with 2 rockets down as soon as he locks on you LMAO

[mental delta]

The tremendous live service

[spare quest]

https://tenor.com/view/todd-howard-it-just-works-bethesda-this-all-just-works-gif-20598651

[finite tiger]

Half the time the anti lock shit dosent eaven work for me

[ruby loom]

SAME

[chilly jacinth]

Youre supposed to use it before they spot you

[ruby loom]

What r supposed to use if u just got the XFAD-4 Daugr and literally have nothing on it. U cannot do anything against lock ons

u have to get 240 kills to make n actual difference

which is not possible bcuz u get shot down within 1min by Wildcats

[chilly jacinth]

play smarter i guess

[ruby loom]

Play the game

and u will understand

😄

[chilly jacinth]

i have 1k hrs in the game

[ruby loom]

yes and i have 2.3k

so i think i have a good opinion on it

[chilly jacinth]

ok

[oblique vigil]

I just caved in and gave jets OP modifiers in portal.

[haughty lichen]

I’m finna play battlefield irl

It’s fucking ON

[atomic leaf]

how do you ping/spot enemies?

[mental delta]

R1 on PS, RB on XBOX and usually A on PC

WTF is that pfp btw bro lmaooo

[atomic leaf]

xdd

[atomic leaf]

A on pc?

[mental delta]

By default maybe, it's the key for me by default on other BF games on PC so yeah

I'd say A

[raven haven]

I like seeing the blue emblem for this server

[mental delta]

Go in settings otherwise

[atomic leaf]

A as in the moving left A?

[mental delta]

It's the same key as commorose usually

[mental delta]

Ho yes you're in QWERTY makes sense then for you it would be Q

I guess

[atomic leaf]

ohh got it

thanks

[mental delta]

No problems

[haughty lichen]

👍

[scarlet sierra]

got a 423k/16d game and still lost XD

[fiery shoal]

i rarely see over 100k games, and i mean RARELY.. how are you getting 423...

[scarlet sierra]

beginner bots

and lmg : )

[naive ember]

2042k game ez

[scarlet sierra]

i've also been playing fps on and off for 16 years

[naive ember]

This is the best 1 right?

[fiery shoal]

2042 the best bf? not by a long shot. for most its either bf4 or bf1. my personal fave is bfv

[scarlet sierra]

i love the customization in this one. everything is so adaptable

[naive ember]

I took you seriously until you mentioned bfv

[scarlet sierra]

i never played v XD

[naive ember]

V is the worst bf

[fiery shoal]

i mean, i am serious, i have no reason to lie to a random about my favorite bf game in the franchise

[fiery shoal]

would be interested to see why exactly

[scarlet sierra]

quit being toxic XD

[fiery shoal]

most peoples complaints are about things not even relevant to the game like its trailer, the "robot woman" or its "historical accuracy"

or even more irrelevant like what a ceo or dev said...

[pine roost]

I never cared for accuracy in the first place

Well, historical that is. Change up gun accuracy and I might have something to say

[naive ember]

One thing that was very annoying was the chat spam in v

[fiery shoal]

LOL what...

[naive ember]

The gameplay was awful also

[pine roost]

H

[fiery shoal]

L take

[naive ember]

Spamming gogogo and thank you for no reason

[fiery shoal]

...

[pine roost]

I fortunately joined it late in its life as my specs weren’t at all up to snuff :(

Woah hold up

You can’t criticise for people saying thank you

[fiery shoal]

I took you seriously until you mentioned player spam as a reason why bfv sucks..

[pine roost]

And if people are spamming, that’s a person problem not a game problem

[naive ember]

I'm too used to the rudeness of the 2042 chat

It's popcorn worthh

[fiery shoal]

... alright your opinions on bfv are invalid 100%

[pine roost]

Funnily enough I get practically zero chat in 2042

But that’s just chance

[dull onyx]

guys

I installed battlefield via STEAM

now when I open the game

I got an error like "Application not found"

I did verify the integrity of the game files

[fiery shoal]

it will launch through EA app

[dull onyx]

but again it does not open

should I download EA app manually?

[fiery shoal]

afaik it should have automatically downloaded the EA app

[hybrid path]

chat is always so active & it takes me right back to 2009 COD

[pine roost]

If you get that error you should just need to open the app first then try steam again

[dull onyx]

yeah i've played battlefield 42 more than 121 hours. i know all the sh!ts about the ea app but just wanted to re play again

[pine roost]

Yeah just open the app manually then try again

It’s just weird like that sometimes

[hybrid path]

I saw someone tell a dude with ttv in his name that he “looks like he knows his way around a triple quarter pounder”

[dull onyx]

but app isn't installed yet. As far as i remember, it should be installed when I click the play on steam

[scarlet sierra]

triple quarter pounder sounds good af ngl

[pine roost]

I guess you could try doing it manually then

See if that helps

[hybrid path]

Chat can be brutal man

I love it

[pine roost]

Until half the lobby is French and you don’t know what anyone is saying even if you hear your username being uttered

[scarlet sierra]

XD

[dull onyx]

i wish i could send screenshot

[hybrid path]

You can discount whatever the Fr*nch say anyways

[pine roost]

One reason why I more social games in squad I try to find American servers

But unfortunately I’m after good ping in bf so I gotta risk not understanding a word sometimes

Although that has the downsides of hearing endless jokes about being British…

[dull onyx]

problem fixed. And problem was this fucking ea app

[dusty sparrow]

Play against bots

[dull onyx]

guys I get some lagging
i have played this game +121 hours and never got a single lagging then deleted. After few months, installed again.
but now I get some lagging
rtx 3050ti 16gb ram, amd ryzen 7 6800H. My fps are fixed at 60 fps in nvdia panel. And I set low graphics plus DLS is quality
but i get slight lagging what can be the cause?

[vocal tusk]

Are you building shaders as you play. Does it get less laggy the longer you play?

[dull onyx]

i just fixed it by setting G-SYNC to the fixed refresh in nvdia panel. That just maked everything smooth

[hazy viper]

Damn, I used to love Valparaiso in BFBC2. So crap now :/

[vocal tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/abe-simpson-abe-simpson-cloud-yelling-cloud-angry-gif-12558964

[dire stump]

what do the green circles next to some of the guns indicate?

[vocal tusk]

On which screen?

[dire stump]

when im dead and i can select my class

theres some guns with green circles. i think its 4 vertical circles to the right of some of the guns. some circles are filled in from top to bottom. some are all empty.

[vocal tusk]

I...honestly do not know. Let me load to game and see haha

[dire stump]

id love to just screenshot it

[arctic grove]

The only green circles I know about are when you are squad leader and can ping something like an obj etc

[dire stump]

is there a chanel i can post a phopto

and just tag u guys

[vocal tusk]

Na, just DM me haha

[ebon pilot]

green circles on equipment indicate how many players in your squad are also using that equipment

so if you see 4 green dots on a specific gun, that means everyone in your squad is using that gun

including you

[tawny carbon]

ngl i love that small feature

[fiery shoal]

its cool, but even if you outright spelled out that indication people wouldnt care

[mental delta]

I mean if they don't care they don't lol, if 3 dudes are playing AR in my squad it won't prevent me from playing it

[tawny carbon]

i just like it for the small info it gives

[vocal tusk]

Can also help new players identify good weapons

[ebon pilot]

well

if they know what it means

but as we know this game doesn't explain anything.

[fiery shoal]

i like that its there, im just saying it could basically not be there considering no one would even use it if it were explained and showcased

[vital quail]

Allows me to see if the falck in my squad is using a medic bag so I can promptly remove from squad

[mental delta]

Me too it's interesting if you want to play as a versatile squad like everyone got a role including assigned gun category

[mental delta]

Yes idk if it'll even be in next game as Dice seems to like not adding features they already used in previous games in their new one at launch

We're even lucky if next game got leaning and diving features

[mental delta]

Even worse, Angel with ammo pouches

[tawny carbon]

they should add all the QoL and small features like 2042 and past games have in one

for their next game

[patent pivot]

Better death cam and spawn menu

Specifically from , 4

[mental delta]

For once yeah Dice fucking shit please had past features

But I doubt they'll do

[pine roost]

Im honestly going to be rather annoyed if most of the qol things we got post launch don’t make it

Like, I get the idea of a minimum viable product, but what we got was a bit shocking compared to now

[tawny carbon]

all the best ones they have, updated and polished should be in the next game

[mental delta]

Me too but what I see is that many features didn't make it either in BF2042 post-launch, you can't lean against walls, you can't dive or use boats, and I won't even talk about key features which are more about the game itself like persistent lobbies or server browser

[pine roost]

Imagine if we have to wait 2 minutes to get into a game again

[mental delta]

Bro...

[tawny carbon]

i do like the weapon count and players per class teamwide from 2042 alot. i dig 2042 scoreboard over past games abit more

[mental delta]

I mean I may be a bit pessimistic right, but most game nowadays don't have sever browser nor persistent lobbies

COD got rid off of persistent lobbies if I ain't wrong

PayDay 3 doesn't have one either

[tawny carbon]

they did

[mental delta]

XDefaitn doesn't was well

[pine roost]

Yeah I can’t even imagine. I want to play the game, not watch an intro to top gear

Stuff like that. The camera movements, squad management, scoreboard, should be in by default now

Just without fail

[mental delta]

Lmaooo so fr feels like a damn carporn Instagram showcase in there

[ivory canopy]

Tonight on Top Gear,
I drive the new Jeep Gladiator
Hammond shoots a camper in the face
And James teabags a noob

[mental delta]

That's even dumber for COD, games where you want to play games after games without waiting, to stop using persistent lobbies

[ivory canopy]

(sorry; I had to)

[tawny carbon]

if they add player spectator cam from bf4 before deployment on squad members in the next bf game. that will be dope asf

[pine roost]

No I commend it

Although your name is giving me nightmares I’d rather not relive

[mental delta]

So fr it was cool af

[ivory canopy]

Don't be sad. This is just how it works out sometimes.

[mental delta]

Like you could see what was going on for your buddy through some kind of cam

Like cops got

[tawny carbon]

i can see how the battle is before i deploy. very handy

[pine roost]

I CANT WAIT FOR ROUND 2

[tawny carbon]

people just spawn and dont care. i watch for 5 secs at max. and decide if i want to deploy or not

[mental delta]

Like the BF Founding Fathers intended

[tawny carbon]

bf4 qol features is top notch over bf games as a whole. i dig 2042 features abit more on some things plus new features they added

[pine roost]

Seriously though I’m in such a strange state about the next game. I really do want it to be good, it seems like such an easy win, but I just can’t bring myself to really get excited

[tawny carbon]

i look forward to it. but im patiently waiting for dice to show us teasers and trailer rn. that will be the real ranting and leaks abt the game by then

[pine roost]

I’m really not looking forward to the leak period

[tawny carbon]

rn its hard to believe anything

like the br. it can be a rumor or change last min. cant say until we are closer to it

[pine roost]

The leak era usually devolves into bickering about rumours that have no basis

[tawny carbon]

unless dice employee say anything, i dont believe it but just hear she day he say bs. idc if they are a insider. i just like official news from themselves

[pine roost]

Well you won’t hear anything about the game outside of official sources

And even some mentions of stuff by devs on Reddit or Twitter have been false

[ivory canopy]

I'm going to just wait and see.

I definitely won't trust launch day for next BF title.

[tawny carbon]

they just say stuff to get attention, thats all

[pine roost]

Yeah I’ve got [insert free to play movement arena shooter] to play instead until then

[ivory canopy]

I have a bunch of guns to T1 on BF2042 yet

My next gun: Avancys

[pine roost]

Tbf I have been enjoying the game since they fixed flight assist

So I won’t say it’s suddenly boring

[ivory canopy]

I've only got 9 vault weapons to get to T1

But there's quite a bit more to go

[tawny carbon]

ngl paid game with br access is better than a free br and paid multiplayer

they will def have a cheater problem on the br side so much its gonna flood into paid side of the game since they are both same versions

[pine roost]

I honestly don’t really care at this point. I won’t play the br whether it’s free or not

Or if it even exists, which is itself not at all proven

[tawny carbon]

cod have WZ for free. the same cheats is used in multiplayer side.

[pine roost]

Same game so yeah

[tawny carbon]

but you see more cheaters in WZ. due to its free. if they get banned. they just come back easily since its free. at no cost

comnpared to a paid game. they have to waste money on to cheat in'

[sinful scroll]

thinking of buying bf 2042 but idk since ea says there will be a new game in april next year

[pine roost]

The games will live on a good few years after the next one comes out, so if you like it, get it

[tawny carbon]

new bf isnt till fall 2025 most likely thats prob a new ea game dropping

[pine roost]

We’ve got no clue what the next game will be so if you absolutely cannot spare the money then hold on a bit for a sale, otherwise there’s no real reason to wait that long

It’ll be around November time

[stone cradle]

Under $10, get the game. Anything above, think extra hard if you don't have anything other to play on your backlog or any other shooter you might be interested in. Above $30 absolutely no.

[tawny carbon]

teaching bro to live cheap

sales do come in clutch

[pine roost]

Grabbing an entire franchise for like £15 is crazy sometimes

[tawny carbon]

fax

[pine roost]

I do wish I enjoyed more of the fps games out there I won’t lie, but the sales have opened me up to so many other good games

[tawny carbon]

ea always do sales. can buy entire store under 200-300 max ish if that

[pine roost]

Depends if you include the sims in that number XD

[sinful scroll]

kinda unrelated but when r the bf 4 servers dropping

[pine roost]

Nobody knows

[ivory canopy]

Wait - they're killing BF4?

[pine roost]

Old old gen consoles are already out I believe, the others will stick around for a long while

[tawny carbon]

should drop soon if not already for last gen

they exclude pc cuz pc is always considered new gen

[sinful scroll]

wdym

so pc server never drop

[tawny carbon]

never did

just last gen console

[pine roost]

Do consoles not get custom servers?

Or are they all just the officially hosted ones?

[tawny carbon]

same as pc

[azure zenith]

The Old Gen version was up and running last week. But had alot of connection issues. Been having connection issues on PC too the last fee days. I think Dice left 1 person in the 2042 office just to press enter key every day. Lol 😆

[tawny carbon]

Battlefield 3 (PS3/Xbox 360)
Battlefield 4 (PS3/Xbox 360)
Battlefield: Hardline (PS3/Xbox 360)

[azure zenith]

Awe ok nvm

[tawny carbon]

last year they shut down on nov 7

[tawny carbon]

old gen as in 360/ps3?

[azure zenith]

Ah OK.

[tawny carbon]

https://x.com/BFBulletin/status/1799057307122479239

Battlefield Bulletin (@BFBulletin) on X

Twitter · Jun 7, 2024, 12:34 PM

heres the tweet

o this year. my b

not last year. im slow

[twin oak]

Oh it's just servers for consoles

[tawny carbon]

thats around the corner sheesh

[twin oak]

I'm not worried anymore, pc is all I need

[tawny carbon]

pc master race

[twin oak]

Yessir

[tawny carbon]

360/ps3 players will have to upgrade or get a pc xD

[ivory canopy]

the PC is the better option

Take it from someone who had the X360 version of BF3

[tawny carbon]

i been on console many years. till i moved to pc during destiny 2 cross save dropped. i never liked console again. i play to play. but pc is my life now

[ivory canopy]

I love how the DFR has a fire grenade launcher

[naive ember]

PS5 master race

[ivory canopy]

ehh

My mom has a PS5

and she doesn't touch it

[oblique vigil]

I can't farm in bf portal

[tawny carbon]

Farm what?

[oblique vigil]

How do I unlock stuff for the draugr...

[low timber]

That tweet literally says:

PC online servers will continue to work for the time being.

[oblique vigil]

I'm gonna go insane doing this

[low timber]

Oh wait it’s BFBulleting and not official

[tawny carbon]

Inspect the challenge and do what it says

[oblique vigil]

It says get kills and assists and destroy vehicles

How am I supposed to do that

[tawny carbon]

Any vehicle or air vehicles?

[oblique vigil]

No I have it unlocked, I need to get kills with it so that I can get something other than dual cannons and an EMP bomb

[tawny carbon]

Prob play on big conquest maps to use it

[oblique vigil]

I've been trying to farm kills on spearhead

But I get like 3 kills per match 😭

[tawny carbon]

Can you spawn with it in solo bots ? On conquest

If so. That’s prob your faster way for attachments only

And a kickstart for T1 skin grind for it. Cuz after the attachments unlocked. It’s only full xp servers you need to join for the rest till T1 skin.

[oblique vigil]

Why did they have to make this thing such an absolute pain to unlock weapons for...

[tawny carbon]

I mean 😪 it’s a air vehicle

[oblique vigil]

Every time I try to strafe I end up crashing into the ground and the only way I avoid crashing is by flying up 800m high and then dive bombing

If only they hadn't removed jets from discarded

[tawny carbon]

It’s meant for strafe runs. Not used as a fighter jet.

[oblique vigil]

Yay I just crashed

Zero kills

[vital quail]

It's not hard lol

[tawny carbon]

If you can bomb things. Just strafe run and bomb and come back

[vital quail]

This is a skill issue

[oblique vigil]

Hell I tried crashing the damn thing into the ground where a bunch of enemy soldiers were

I didn't blow up, but they didn't die either.

[oblique vigil]

The emp bomb does no damage

And by the time it's recharged the vehicles regenerate all the health

[tawny carbon]

Is there a fire one? Or sum like that

[oblique vigil]

Yeah but I haven't unlocked it...

I have nothing but dual cannons and an EMP bomb...

[vital quail]

The HE rounds are more than enough to get 2 kills per strafe on infantry bots

[tawny carbon]

Just dual cannon them and strange back.

[tawny carbon]

That’s to, especially on impact of the infantry

[oblique vigil]

What height should I be at when strafing

I have massive skill issues when flying jets sorry 😅

[tawny carbon]

Kinda high but also depends on the map/skill

[vital quail]

Don't fly below the height of the 2 buildings on spearhead

It's against bots and you have all the time in the world

[oblique vigil]

Wonder if I can bomb infantry with this thing

[vital quail]

You have 15 seconds if you fly out of bounds too

[vital quail]

^^^^^^^^^^^

[oblique vigil]

uh...

did I just get blown up by a 25mm APDS

[tawny carbon]

Also pay attention to your awareness when you bomb. Don’t end up crashing

Some bots is smart. They also kinda match your skill level to. Even on the easy bots. Just more dumber in a way.

[vital quail]

Don't even bother targeting AI vehicles with the emp bomb and HE rounds

They all have repair abilities and will repair the damage

[oblique vigil]

[vital quail]

Friendly AI sucks and won't get you any assists

[oblique vigil]

I'm slowly going insane

[tawny carbon]

Just target infantry. Is quicker and ez

[oblique vigil]

I'm a controller player by the way

If that affects anything

[vital quail]

Do you want me to record a 1 minute video of how to strafe

And send you it

[oblique vigil]

You don't have to do that

[tawny carbon]

I seen some crazy controller players on BF. For air vehicles

[oblique vigil]

Don't get me wrong I'm good at piloting helicopters

[vital quail]

I'm loading up spearhead solo if you want a video

[tawny carbon]

Same. But practice makes perfect. And patient

[oblique vigil]

Here we go again

Okay I would have gotten that kill

But my cannons overheated

[vital quail]

Also one setting I have for every time I'm in an air vehicle is having my mini-map set to 350 meters zoom

Idk what the default is but on ground it's at 100m for me and air 350. Helps with knowing where the out of bounds is

[oblique vigil]

I'm going to play hazard zone

Then I'll try again later

[tawny carbon]

You burst fire it. I never hold down the button for vehicles that require overheating

[vital quail]

I have a video of 2 strafe runs on spearhead at the start of the round if you want to see it at all

[oblique vigil]

I'm interested

[tawny carbon]

I highly recommend for tips and tricks for yall. Small clip can go a long way.

[vital quail]

It's only 3 kills because all the enemy AI doesn't spawn at one time so not a lot of targets to shoot at... but just look at the height I go to, and how low I get

I'm not even a good pilot myself

[oblique vigil]

3 kills is a lot. Compared to zero. 😂

Ah I got manifest... too bad there's only 2 in the lobby...

[tawny carbon]

Coop Vs AI. You can choose any map

Don’t have to be random.

[oblique vigil]

Am trying to play Hazard Zone right now

Wanna join?

[tawny carbon]

O… that’s right

I haven’t played that since S1 dawg. Played that since day one on and off

[oblique vigil]

It's far from perfect but to be honest I find it pretty fun.

[tawny carbon]

Sometime after season one. It became more dead than before

I enjoy HZ a lot. But haven’t touched in in a hot 🥵 minute

[oblique vigil]

With only one enemy squad on the map it's not all that tense

[tawny carbon]

Is it a 1 or 2 man seater plane ?

[vital quail]

The draugr? It's a drone so 1

[tawny carbon]

I remember the days when it was full all the time

[oblique vigil]

Me too

Played it back when the menu was divided into thirds

[tawny carbon]

Oof. Bouta say me and you can get him kills passively when he’s a passenger to rack it up for his side

[oblique vigil]

It's all good

I'm sure scott's clip will help me 😁

||Play HZ today||

I HAVE MANIFEST LOBBY RIGHT NOW

[tawny carbon]

Pre season days was my fav. Ngl for 2042. Due to the 128p mayhem. Now 128p is meh. Not as chaotic

[oblique vigil]

Why can't they fill my squad with AI soldiers

[tawny carbon]

Breakthrough. Sheesh 🙄 that shit was fire 🔥

[oblique vigil]

Welp.... it just booted me back to the main menu. Sad

[tawny carbon]

I would join if it was more populated.

[oblique vigil]

Yesterday I successfully got into three matches. The first two matches I had the same squad members.

[tawny carbon]

What TZ are you in U.S.

I’m USE

[oblique vigil]

I'm not in US...

[tawny carbon]

Canada or Mex?

[oblique vigil]

Time to try farming it again

Oh you want the time zone? Near GMT

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔. I can see how populated it is in USE

[oblique vigil]

If I could join your party then you could matchmake possibly

[tawny carbon]

Imma search to see population first.

Minute in and no matches

[oblique vigil]

I got four kills without crashing

[tawny carbon]

found a match at 2 mins o boy

3/32 players

16 sheesh that shit filled up quick. wtf 😬

@oblique vigil wanna play on my servers? I’ll be in VC

[round garden]

this server should have channels for all games or most recent ones

[oblique vigil]

Yeah yeah

[round garden]

btw

bf4 has tickrates up to 144hz while standard bf2042 is 45hz

bf 2042 is in every way possible a complete downgrade to bf4

with official servers gone from bf4 and community servers using punkbuster it has better anti cheat aswell probably lmao

[tawny carbon]

Add me. GT: TheOuijaZozo

[oblique vigil]

Why's it say no players matched

[tawny carbon]

Wym?

Whats your GT?

EA name

[oblique vigil]

upboss111

[tawny carbon]

all lowercase?

also do you have a mic?

[oblique vigil]

Unfortunately not, but I can hear you.

[tawny carbon]

not even on your console?

[oblique vigil]

It doesn't work

[tawny carbon]

oof

umm what gen are you on?

[oblique vigil]

Latest?

Well the game is a PS4 copy.

[tawny carbon]

oof

you need the ps5 version

so we can add eachother and play together

im on pc aka nex gen

majority of players in here is on next gen xD

ps4 and og xbone plays together. ps5/series s|x/pc play together, no cross play between last and new gen platforms for 2042

[oblique vigil]

Well nothing I can do now

[tawny carbon]

you have a ps5 console or ps4?

[oblique vigil]

Console is PS5

So I can only play with Xbox One users... great

[tawny carbon]

buy the ps5 version when its on sale.

its way better ngl and get the full advantage of your ps5 also

[oblique vigil]

I got this game as a gift two years back. Don't think I'm going to buy any other versions of it especially with the announcement of new Battlefield game coming out

[tawny carbon]

thats not till next year kek

[oblique vigil]

[tawny carbon]

the game does offer cross save btw

you dont lose anything as in progression and stuff

[oblique vigil]

Uhh

Two S-levels with high extraction streaks just joined my squad at the same time

[tawny carbon]

free s lvls kek

but s lvls just mean your lvl 100+ caps out at s999

[oblique vigil]

Extraction streak 2 and 4

[tawny carbon]

PS store can’t gift games like Xbox. That’s dumb asf

I guess I can game share with you if it goes on sale again.

If you had a Xbox. I have a shit ton of games to game share

[tawny carbon]

FINN IS A DUDE

wtf

[azure zenith]

Does any other high S ranked player feel completely screwed by Dice? 🤔

[ebon pilot]

why

[tawny carbon]

why screwd by dice cuz s rank

[azure zenith]

Because of the extremely discounted price. Skins way to easy to win. And lots of new accounts under level 50 that seem just as, if not, sweatiers than some of the top S ranked players. Lag spikes, random match disconnecting, etc, etc.
Like season 2 all over again. Lol 😆

[remote kiln]

there's no problem with new players getting cosmetics

the game has ended essentially anyways it doesn't matter

[lime vigil]

is deagle worth the trouble for getting 90 kills with m44, getting the armor piercing bullets and having my friends helping me?

[next onyx]

Yes.

By the way you can earn the desert eagle against bots. @lime vigil

[lime vigil]

like private match?

ik I can kill bots in pubs and it counts as kills and xp and shit

[next onyx]

Solo / Co op yeah.

[lime vigil]

but never tried private match

dang

[next onyx]

You can earn weapons through there.

[lime vigil]

can m44 naturally damage tanks or vehicles and shit?

don't I need it's armor piercing ammo

[next onyx]

No.

If you want to damage a tank it's armour piercing or chain reaction.

[hazy viper]

The pinnacle of my individual efforts after 4 months of playing the game. A meagre 664 points haul in CQ64 match 😀

[vital quail]

Put c4 on a road and lay down and wait for vehicle to drive over shoot

[lime vigil]

I c

[lone void]

Or kamikaze a tank with 2 C5 and shoot it (rear armour only takes 2 to kill)

[vital quail]

I saw a someone pull out their m44 and aim at the back of a jeep and realized right after I killed them what they were doing and said sorry in chat lol

[pine roost]

It does feel a bit strange that the challenge asks for vehicle damage of all things

[tawny carbon]

And all the attachments

[mild crystal]

Battlefield L franchise, new game gonna be ass

Dont get your hopes up

[mental delta]

You're in the BF server mate

[ruby loom]

Only bad game was bfv tbf bud

[mild crystal]

Bfv isn't bad now, this game on the other hand is ass

So you like bf then

[drowsy iron]

[azure zenith]

Hasn't been alot lately in Portal. Everyone is burnt on 2042.

[steel fable]

yeah well EA and Forstbite is going to have to step up they got competition now from another game being launched soon.

i will not name it under showing respect for frostbite lol but EA can go to hell for being a crappy publisher.

[ebon pilot]

what other game

[mental delta]

Delta Force Hawk Ops

[mental delta]

Definitely Delta Force Hawk Ops

[ebon pilot]

OPERATORS? sounds like overwatch to me

clearly nobody that dislikes 2042 will want to play this

[mental delta]

Fuck specialists

All my homies hate specialists

[steel fable]

yeah but that game is cod and 2042 had a baby that is what that game is. lol

legit pretty awesome def feels like a battlefield game done right to be fair. being honest here its just done better. plus in all honestly protal was a shame to add in 2042 given that yeah we had vaulted weapons and some maps. though the weather system was horrible beyond understanding i would of been fine having levelution in bf4 more :/ least it kept the warfare fun and unique.

i mean who ever was the head DEV team spitting idea's around and had CEO up their hole to puppet them into thinking portal and trying to copy blackop 3 needs to be shafted out of the company.

honestly to recover their losses frostbite should be eyeing angels fall first which is a game its very underrated for the content they bring..... i mean its pretty legit of a game even though being a bit outdated of its time lol.

[tawny carbon]

2042 did great with it, just not at launch. but became better later on

[steel fable]

if frostbite legit helped and partnered that said dev team that game would truly shine but what would i know about running a gaming company even though i am a gamer 😛 . def not because i am rolling in money and think i should be lining my pockets more than provide high quality games to my consumers. that and help my game dev team not to be shells for a publisher.

[steel fable]

their launch was horrible. they were already rushing because of COD. rather than take their time. plus EA as a publisher rushes their partners to produce games on a date that the CEO of EA calls out.

[tawny carbon]

I mean 😪 i honestly blame it on the leadership more than EA for 2042

[steel fable]

you can say other wise and defend for a shitty company but i felt bad for frostbite having to deal with that heresy

[tawny carbon]

Frostbite is an engine. Not a set dev team for their games

[tawny carbon]

I never said I’m defending them

The leadership of 2042 controls the development.

[steel fable]

more like the shareholders

lol

[tawny carbon]

They are the developer bosses

They tell the devs what to do

[steel fable]

idk if i was a gaming company boss and my shareholders were just rich a-holes that knew nothing about gaming i would of just been like larion and just suffered for the time being to make a good game than be shelling out my reputation

[keen hound]

You'd shell out your dev team and get them all replaced

Sigh

[ebon pilot]

yall should like... read the shareholder meeting notes for EA sometime

[keen hound]

Someone's been getting negative KDs in 2042 lookslike

[steel fable]

larion did what they had to during the covid situation trust me that impacted a lot of people not just food industry. people tend to forgetting that underlining factor that the chainese pulled a stupid and ended up eating a pangolin for dinner.

true facts lol but sad

[keen hound]

He lost me at calling DICE Frostbite

[tawny carbon]

You still don’t understand how devs and development works @steel fable sad to say but it’s the truth

[steel fable]

mmmm i mean to be fair you don't work for one so how would you know 😛 mr.white knight

[tawny carbon]

Fax

[tawny carbon]

Who is the Mr white knight. If you’re talking about me. My name is TheOuijaZozo

[keen hound]

Bro you wouldn't know about a dev team if they all came up and backshot you

[steel fable]

yeah sorry all i read from that name is WHITE KNIGHT

[keen hound]

This guy's a load of barnacles

[tawny carbon]

This dude is blind or something. Or I am. I’m confused asf here

Agile Software Development Team Structure in 2024: Guideline

[tawny carbon]

Make sure you read that. Highly recommended.

[steel fable]

honestly who cares about your personal pref .... facts are layed out dice just doesn't know what's good anymore. i am just saying in general EA shelled out gaming companies ......i mean look at anthem and 2042 a good example of companies with bad practices.

[tawny carbon]

Dice knows what’s good. The leadership and a lot of new people worked on 2042. Leadership fucked the devs up in 2042 development. Devs didn’t like how the leadership operated. So some of them left. Not dice themselves fucking over their own devs

New people been working on battlefield since BF1. A lot of newcomers came into 2042.

[fiery shoal]

youd think so right? but somehow people are excited even though 90% of players complaints are present..

[tawny carbon]

The leadership wanted their own way for 2042 in its development.

[steel fable]

so what i am hearing is they wanted money rather than a high quality of a product and something to cement their name

lol

[fiery shoal]

when several devs have said EA is actually pretty hands off... i mean apex was done before EA even knew about it, ME3 devs said they tried to do too much and thats where they faultered..

[steel fable]

apex was just trying to be fortnite in the titan fall universe

[chilly jacinth]

Anthem was also Biowares fault

[fiery shoal]

unpopular opinion, almost all those studios that died under EA were on their last legs to begin with

those studeios made RTS and point and click adventure games, which arent very popular now so...

[tawny carbon]

BioWare pulled out. When they were almost done with the anthem 2.0 update for the game. 2.0 would’ve brought the game back to life.

[steel fable]

the mass effect devs i can understand given the lead ended up leaving but i was told that he left because of how EA was treating their employee's and it lead to a strike.

[tawny carbon]

The real question. Is it really ea or its leadership. Anyone can blame ea for anything tbh

[ruby loom]

Based Devs tbh much respect

[quiet sonnet]

i think its alright too tbh

theres usually just like some gadget difference between operators so idm too much

[ruby loom]

A game needs to perform well at the start otherwise they lose their audience

[steel fable]

that's what was said pretty long ago on that subject so i am not 100% sure its concrete enough. because i had no word of the follow up behind that said subject. for the mass effect strike in employee rights. it is what it is mass effect is a good game and still is just amdromeda was a meme .....the "i can't feel my face."

[quiet sonnet]

wait

development started in mid 2020

didnt the game launch in 21?

[tawny carbon]

The leadership fucked them over. Any other past BF games allowed them to have that freedom.

[ruby loom]

yeah

they had short deadlines aswell

new Code to create a game

which they never had before

like new egine

[quiet sonnet]

i mean for making that game in less than a year thats actually insanely impressive

[ruby loom]

u think that bcuz how it is now, not at the start

[quiet sonnet]

development started in the middle of 2020 lmao

[steel fable]

yep kinda why i stated too rushed for its own good EA focused too much on their wallet rather than focus on long term goals. EA is known for their shitty practices like that.

[quiet sonnet]

even for how it was at the start thats impressive for less than a year

[ruby loom]

they had 2 gamemodes and 4 maps. Only multiplayer

at the start

[steel fable]

honestly i am suprised they didnt make a storyline behind 2042 even though the characters felt semi concrete

[quiet sonnet]

again it was made in a year thats insane

[steel fable]

yeah and prob a high turnover in employee's

[tawny carbon]

I remembered the leadership told EA they are doing very well on the game. Yet they just wanna make themselves look good. First teaser was really good. On Release they scrapped a lot of things. Mainly to last gen can’t handle it. Let’s be real. If they cut out last gen. 2042 would’ve been better than what we got on release day.

[quiet sonnet]

bf1 for example was in development for 3 years before release

5 was in development 2 years before release

and they all had a rocky start in their own way with bugs and stuff but man

[tawny carbon]

Last gen destroy and restrict devs so much. Make games nowadays next gen only. For crying out loud.

[quiet sonnet]

1 year to make a game like that thats actually decent

the fact that they even got a game of that scale is crazy

[steel fable]

thats why its better to do pc first before console because then if there is a snag it can be fixed.

[tawny carbon]

The devs were happy due to the freedom. 2042 leadership didn’t give them that.

[quiet sonnet]

i know

[steel fable]

consoles are legit just overgrown emulators .....debate me on this

lol

[quiet sonnet]

but you can give them credit for even being able to pull that off

[tawny carbon]

Negative. They have devkits on the console itself to make the game on it and playtest.

[tawny carbon]

Agreed

[quiet sonnet]

1 year is almost no time to make a video game, to then make trailers and advertisments etc etc

[tawny carbon]

Also it’s easier to make a game on console than it is on PC.

[quiet sonnet]

had it been in development for another year or two more it wouldnt have had such a bad launch probably

i mean the game is pretty decent right now

[quiet sonnet]

yep

[tawny carbon]

Game is way better now than before. But I still miss the breakthrough 128p pre season days since launch. My top favorite days ever in 2042

[steel fable]

i never was disrespecting them on the pull off in a year.....more over if you didn't rush a good game maybe it would of been a better received game if they had the time. i think larion is a good example of we will give ya a base part of the game while we gradually work on it until we have to patch the game so to speak. that concept was at least doable and felt more like you got to see that progress live rather than have em rush something great.

[tawny carbon]

The main difference is freedom that the devs have.

[steel fable]

honestly 2042 just had multiplayer until they finish the overall game would of been the better approach

[tawny carbon]

That play the most important role in BF game development

[ionic gale]

The whole issue with 2042 and V before that was them having visions and ideas. Like attrition, the specialist system, 128p etc.. Btw, you can still check out the glassdoor reviews from DICE for the timeframe of 2019-21 and many cite a visuals over gameplay, vision over fun approach. Also DICE is pitching the game to EA, not the other way around and has always been hands off with DICE until the release of 2042.

[quiet sonnet]

yeah but people mostly bashed the devs for it not ea for rushing them with it

[tawny carbon]

True but the leadership plays the biggest role in controlling the development with their devs.

[quiet sonnet]

i luckily never got too hyped for 42 knewing it would likely flop and got it later on

[tawny carbon]

If leadership wants it that way. The devs have to follow and listen

[steel fable]

idk i could call bluffs on EA not rushing games defence. i mean look at battlefront 2 , anthem , amdromeda ?

good examples

[naive ember]

The 2042 launch was the best thing to happen to battlefield, a lesson learned

[quiet sonnet]

idk..

[tawny carbon]

BF4 is worse than 2042 launch

[fiery shoal]

^

2042 launch was in line with all the other launches

[steel fable]

yeah but bf4 was a better game

[quiet sonnet]

yep

[steel fable]

lol

[tawny carbon]

BF4 even got sued of how bad the launch was. 2042 didn’t get that treatment.

[fiery shoal]

bf4 might have been the better game, but id argue theres nothing objectively wrong with 2042

well maybe maps

[ionic gale]

Yeah, DICE management and leadership, not EA. I highly doubt that Andrew Wilson said something like: Yeah, make a 5vs5 comp mode, that we tried in the last two games and that never went anywhere. Those decisions were made somewhere at DICE and those guys that pushed BF4 5vs5 CQ, BF1 Incursions, BFV 5vs5 , Hazard Zone and that 5vs5 we had a couple of weeks ago are likely still at DICE and will make another dead on arrival 5vs5 mode for the next game.

[tawny carbon]

Yes how their devs was being treated and a lot of good BF devs was good at the time. But the game is buggy overall throughout its live service. 2042 is more polished overall compared to BF4. When comparing both games at the end of service

[fiery shoal]

and MUCH more complicated

[ebon pilot]

anthem just should not have happened. bioware spent 7 years on it with EA staying hands off

they needed direction, not time

[steel fable]

2042 what was wrong ? : maps , operators > Classes , weapons , lack of vics , lack of drones, revoked the commander role which helped a bit in fights, weather system > levelution.

[tawny carbon]

BF4 is a nightmare of all the codes and ect they put in the game. Yet it’s the most advanced game they have.

[steel fable]

i could go on

[fiery shoal]

knew someone was gonna come out with a meme response like this

[ebon pilot]

"vics"

[fiery shoal]

things that are not objectively bad: ops, weapons, lack os whatever vics are, drones, commander, weather and levolution...

levolution was literally only in 2 of the bf titles...

[patent pivot]

bring back commander so I can summon gunship

[ebon pilot]

and people shit on levolution when it existed

[tawny carbon]

Levo was a big game changer for me. I hope they bring it back in the next game with 2042 weather system

[fiery shoal]

again, the only thing OBJECTIVELY bad was the maps, everything else is a design choice that a lot of people can not like, but that doesnt make it objectively bad

[steel fable]

levo was a good thing def changed the way how warfare felt

[tawny carbon]

Both combined will be beautiful

[ionic gale]

I hope not, at least not in the big things. Just like tornados it adds little to the game and is for show mostly. Can also be bad when you design maps around specific events. Having bridges go up, metal detectors and stuff like that is fine, and those were in 2042 as well.

[steel fable]

they wont since EA stopped support for it. they are only going to release more vaulted stuff now and update the anti cheat system. pretty much it and they teased the vehic for this upcoming which is a stupid troop transport heli instead of something more useful.

[tawny carbon]

Not everything needs the levo mechanic

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔 I pretty sure it’s part of the Fortnite engine. Just how they make the game is the main part. They prob don’t add it in 2042 due to the weather system is enough for last gen consoles to handle

[lucid egret]

whats this gun called?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F35JK3c44Ko

[tawny carbon]

Also the weather system is new. So they have to test it out in a game and see how it works out.

[ebon pilot]

it says AM40 in the bottom right

[patent pivot]

next time, have building props be thrown in the cyclone

and being thrown around the map randomly

[solid imp]

More than periodic weather events that are interesting would be if a map really leans into the atmosphere it's supposed to have.

• Kaleidoscope: they have breakwaters all over the place. Go full Flood Zone on it
• Hourglass: the map should be sandstorm 100% of the time.
• Breakaway: Blizzard conditions 100% of the time.
• Orbital: Thunderstorm and heavy rain conditions 100% of the time
  etc.

[lucid egret]

ohh ok

[steel fable]

weather system is kinda lack luster .....the sandstorms were cool but they could of added a map where tsunami's were a thing , earthquakes , volcanic events.

i mean i could go on

[ebon pilot]

3 of these just make it impossible to snipe, no?

[solid imp]

Now you're getting it

[ebon pilot]

oh ok

[tawny carbon]

I like the weather system ngl. But we all have opinions here

[solid imp]

😄 in truth there's more to think about than just what I said.. you're correct it takes more thought than dumping some weather on a map

but Hourglass, for example, really benefits from the sandstorm

takes a wide open map and makes traversing it possible

[ionic gale]

yes, because it is a coverless desert

[steel fable]

^ true facts

[tawny carbon]

I feel like they don’t want to overdo it on 2042. Mainly due to last gen

[ionic gale]

you can just make a good map with cover and ditch the weather

[solid imp]

all true

more city, fewer dunes

[tawny carbon]

Lest be real devs are more restricted due to last gen. And they are on their last leg crippling depression for games

[steel fable]

wasn't hourglass based around the city concept of dubai ?

thats the feeling i got from it

[ionic gale]

in beta the tornado picked up a tank and threw in onto the tower, that was pretty neat and happened exactly once. All the while it decreased fps in a game that never really did run well.

[ionic gale]

it is doha, but yes, the concept is similar

[lucid egret]

https://imgur.com/a/Zr1tn9J

[ionic gale]

except that doha is a city with buildings

spec ops the line did the same setting with sandstorm and stuff and managed to include cover

[oblique tendon]

Hey quick question for the med-pen mastery, it says kills and revives, but you can only use it to heal yourself right?

[tawny carbon]

Hope your pc is good enough to run the game. 2042 is demanding

[lucid egret]

its good enough

[steel fable]

honestly was sad we never got a naval warfare experience in 2042 even though we all know that would of been pretty epic given that weather systems were a thing.

[tawny carbon]

How good we talking?

[lucid egret]

13900k 3080 Ti

[tawny carbon]

Naval warfare won’t work in 2042

[steel fable]

i could disagree with that statement given how everything was

[tawny carbon]

Abit better than me.

[tawny carbon]

Balancing.

[steel fable]

balancing or just more work for the team?

[patent pivot]

rip 64 rush with vehicles

[tawny carbon]

2042 have really bad balancing infantry vs vehicles

[lucid egret]

everytime i try to play this game i get discouraged by the amount of bots

is it still like that

i havent plalyed it in 6 months

[solid imp]

original map design would not have lent well to naval warfare

[lucid egret]

i wanna pick it up bad

everytime i see clips

[solid imp]

maybe on kaleidoscope since the river goes through the map

[oblique tendon]

someone please?

[ebon pilot]

game has too many players to effectively do naval

[solid imp]

64p naval works fine I think

[tawny carbon]

2042 is still popping off. Just not as much months ago but still populated.

[patent pivot]

big ass ocean, 128 -- just like storming a beachfront

[lucid egret]

whats themost popular game mode

[steel fable]

kaleidoscope , exposure , manifest for naval combat

[lucid egret]

64 or 128?

[solid imp]

as long as that silly patrol boat from shanghai isn't as OP as it was lol

[lucid egret]

or 32

[solid imp]

exposure 🤔

that pond at the top?

[tawny carbon]

Naval vehicles will be gone quicker than a jeep in 2042. As soon they spawn. They are gone.

[steel fable]

that def didnt look like a pond it looked like it was part of a dam

[solid imp]

wait... exposure is a dam and not just a mountainside?

[ebon pilot]

there's a lake up on top

[solid imp]

pond, lake, tomato potato

[steel fable]

fromt the picture alone felt more like there could of been a dam of some kind there because hydrogeneration was also a way to get power to the city or towns.....so i mean i wouldn't put it past canada to utilize that feature

[solid imp]

even on lancang dam the water up top was not part of naval

[mental delta]

Just hope next game got more destruction and there's a naval map where you can destroy a dam or a big ass bridge

[tawny carbon]

BF4 moments

[mental delta]

Yeah but let's set maps in US now

Make Brooklyn's Bridge go boom

[solid imp]

ok but... can we all agree not to just demo "the thing" by sitting back in mbt's lobbing shells at it from the start of every single game?

[tawny carbon]

We need a Shanghai V2

[ebon pilot]

can we make levolutions that don't make the map suck when they activate?

[mental delta]

Fr fr except this time it's Siege of London

[tawny carbon]

[steel fable]

mmmm i few boats in mind could of played out a bit. like the Mark 6 patrol boat, STDS bat 98 , mark 5 spec ops .

[mental delta]

Nuh huh

[patent pivot]

and bring back gunship

[solid imp]

gunship but it lasts more than 3 seconds

gunship but at actual gunship altitudes

[mental delta]

Yeah and boat dreadnought

[solid imp]

not like 100 feet off the ground lol

[patent pivot]

bf3 gunship level of HP

[tawny carbon]

Just combine all games but as a BF4 reskin

[patent pivot]

and make sure to add a great AI bot

[solid imp]

ehh you know people always say a bf4 reskin would be great and maybe it would but I really don't mind that they keep trying different things

[tawny carbon]

BF4 V2 would be dope asf. (Not talking about WR)

[patent pivot]

eh too late now

[tawny carbon]

I been hoping for another BF4 alike game since BF4 live service ended. I wish every BF games copied BF4 with updated features movement and graphics

BF4 should’ve been their baseline of all future BF games imo

[ebon pilot]

nah

[steel fable]

i think gunship would of been cool though a ac-130 would of made some game changers in fights but i mean you took out commander lol so i guess in 2042 there was no tomahawks or silo's in that day of age. no satellites that dropped tungsten rods from the sky a.k.a project thor.

[patent pivot]

I dont mind the differences in 1, hardline, V

and theyre all missing one minor core

[tawny carbon]

What bots 🤖.

[patent pivot]

no shit

[naive ember]

Better off with 2043 than another bf4

[solid imp]

best view

[tawny carbon]

we know you don’t like real players

Skill issue

[patent pivot]

I can configure the bots to mylikings

either easy or kicking my ass

[steel fable]

thats a true view of being a weapons operator for a ac-130 nothing like rainning hell above.

[patent pivot]

and play any map and gamemode

thats a plus

[tawny carbon]

Same in PvP. You have easy and hard bots. Play any game mode and any map

It’s more dynamic gameplay than bots

[patent pivot]

Minus any map and mode

People always want to play the same old shit

[tawny carbon]

You play any map/mode

I played all maps and modes combination in all BF games

[lucid egret]

which game mode has the most players

32 64 or 128?

[patent pivot]

How about now huh?

You tell me

[tawny carbon]

32/64 and featured modes

[steel fable]

i think also in hardline the cyberwarfare was pretty legit as well....

[lucid egret]

how do i kk,now if i have a bot lobby or not

[steel fable]

dispite that game tring to be like payday 2 lol

[lucid egret]

can i tell by the names only?

[steel fable]

bot's will have [ai]

in their names

[tawny carbon]

AI is substitutes till a real player joins. But look at scoreboard. At the top. It will say something like US (21) RU (32). The number representing real players

[lucid egret]

lmao

just tried ot join a game

literally emtpy games

i tried 64 and close quarters conquest

im the only one here

[tawny carbon]

Do squid G rush. Very popular atm

[ebon pilot]

isn't it early morning in oceanea?

[lucid egret]

Yes

[versed sorrel]

It depends on time an region

[ebon pilot]

yeah that sounds right

[tawny carbon]

This

[versed sorrel]

It dose not help that this in the last seasson so there could be a drop in players but nothing that bad

[tawny carbon]

The funny part. A lot of new player come in when live service of seasons is over

[versed sorrel]

Yea tbh I don’t get that but hey it is what it is

Ik a lot of ppl I play with now stoped play 2042 an when back to old battlefields or other games

[tawny carbon]

Devs should make S8 lowkey. But they made the news already some time ago far far away.

[versed sorrel]

I mean it’s kinda sad when games like sea of theives, cod, destiny an etc keep getting new seasons an pass’s but yet money hungry ea stops lol

[tawny carbon]

Gosh after S7 ended I feel like it been ages

[tawny carbon]

Dice prob pulled a lot of devs over to help out on the next BF game.

That’s prob why they ended on S7

[versed sorrel]

Just for the next BF to be ass up to seasson 4-5 when it will get good

[tawny carbon]

Atleast they still support it still and update it

[versed sorrel]

Yea but with out the pass grind some ppl can now only grind out lvl’s an T1 skins. Am personally I don’t like the T1 skins

[naive ember]

Should've played during the seasons

[tawny carbon]

If they learned from the leadership and the development issue from 2042. Then I can see the next BF game. Pre season lasting at most 3-6 months if that at most. Set for an entire year later For S1 to start off.

[versed sorrel]

Hopefully

[tawny carbon]

I have a better feeling overall for the next game. I’m very happy is modern setting like BF3/4/2042. I don’t like old timey BF1/5.

IMO

I have a strong feeling the next game will be sometime after 2042 timeline.

If they are following the main story of BF.

Yes BF3/4/2042 is all connected.

[naive ember]

BF1 was ok but ww2 fps are played out now

[tawny carbon]

I enjoy modern setting in general. Also more freedom for the devs to work with.

[naive ember]

They made so many ww2 games no need to make anymore

[tawny carbon]

They done so much historic setting over the past decade. It’s boring if I see another one. My mind is overflowed by them.

[orchid tusk]

I'd try a BC3 right about now.

[tawny carbon]

Won’t happen

[orchid tusk]

yep

[tawny carbon]

I remember people said BC3 was in the works and it came out to be BF3

[orchid tusk]

the good ol days

take it ez

[fiery shoal]

i had no clue bc 1/2 came out before bf3...

[tawny carbon]

When BF3 was in development. People was making rumors that BC3 was in the works. Turned out to be BF3 instead

At the time. People were dying for BC3 after BC2 live service

[naive ember]

Bad Company 2043

[mental delta]

Some people still seem to think next game is BF BC3 lol

Even though EA or Dice pretty much stated it won't

[tawny carbon]

People just can’t move on

Just a personal skill issue for them.

[amber kelp]

Im not really sure what the point of a BC3 is other than finishing the story.
Bad Company was the smaller spinoff title for consoles, but now all BF games are on console and can handle the full amount of players

Could happen, but the only real distinction between it and a BF6 is what the campaign is about.

[mental delta]

Finishing the lore would be fun lol but there's no point into making a whole new game BC game

[amber kelp]

I mean, if theyre making a modern military BF game anyway

[mental delta]

Yup and it has pretty much been said BF6 is gonna be a whole new BF game like it could begin it's own lore

[mental delta]

Next game is modern apparently

BF2042 backlash let no choices to EA and Dice other than releasing a game the entire community wants

[amber kelp]

yeah they had an ad out asking for Croatian or Bosnian actors.

[mental delta]

In other terms they won't be taking any risks

They'll make something modern because it's the unanimously most appreciated setting

[mental delta]

Really ?

[amber kelp]

Yeah. Could mean either 2 things

1. Theyre doing specialists again (please god no)
2. We get the funny setting

[mental delta]

Fuck no I hope they ain't making specialists ever again

[amber kelp]

My guess is that they want to have "Ukraine war but not in Ukraine"
Like how BF3 was "Iraq war but not in Iraq"

[mental delta]

It could mean there's just gonna be Croation or Bosnian dudes in the campaign though

[amber kelp]

thats my guess

[mental delta]

Maybe they're gonna create a country like MW2019 did

"Urzikstan"

Get the fuck out lmao

[amber kelp]

🤮

[mental delta]

Would be cool to have a European map in BF again though

[amber kelp]

Balkan and former Iron Curtain countries are also far prettier than people expect

[sturdy socket]

BF4.5 and DICE will literally be able to outstretch their arms, buckets in hand, and they'll fill with cash in minutes

[amber kelp]

Come to think of it, they could probably pull BFV assets for it too. Compare picture of Bosnia to Provence or Marita

[keen hound]

Or 3)
Could be some Russians mingling with Eastern Europe or the entirety of Europe and America is gonna come and stop it

As per usual

In any WW3 setting

[amber kelp]

I think its more likely a PMC who act as a standin for Russia
Due to... recent events

[keen hound]

"Recent events" see you 3 years ago

[amber kelp]

Still happening

[keen hound]

Black Ops 6 you get to fight Russians what'll be so different with new BF

[amber kelp]

I wouldnt have an issue with a Russian faction, I just dont think dice would do it

Plus some leaks a while back suggested it was a pmc

[keen hound]

They didn't do anything about only having America and Russia in BF2042

But yeah

[amber kelp]

2042 released before all that happened

[keen hound]

Buuuuut they didn't change anything

Even after

[amber kelp]

tbf the game barely even had factions

[keen hound]

It had two

[amber kelp]

yeah, """factions"""

[keen hound]

""factions""

[amber kelp]

Oh boy Mackay is now speaking ruski

im so immersed

Не грустите, просто так иногда получается

[keen hound]

Maybe it'll be somewhere along the Serbian shit that happened in the early 90s

[amber kelp]

they dont have the balls

[keen hound]

You'd be surprised

Plus it could be a side story

[amber kelp]

when have they taken controversial risks like that?

[keen hound]

Or maybe it's some bottom of the barrel voice line translation

[keen hound]

China Rising

BF4

[amber kelp]

Even then it was euphemized to hell, messed up the geopolitics for a safer and simpler story, and got banned, discouraging them from doing it ever again

[keen hound]

You also gotta realize they didn't have another battlefield game to do a Chinese invasion in

[amber kelp]

?

[keen hound]

Like a Modern standpoint

Because the battlefield games after 4 were 1, and then V

And 2042

[amber kelp]

there is no world where they repeat bf4

[keen hound]

Because it'd be seen as a cheap nostalgic cashgrab

[amber kelp]

too much money to be lost for little good reason. EA wouldnt allow it

[keen hound]

But you gotta realize potential

But then there's the simpler idea

Russian Invasion on Eastern Europe

Womp womp

Another Russian based conflict to make me wanna piss my brains out

[amber kelp]

I dont see too much thats gained from a China setting either, especially if done to the same poor quality as the conflicts in BF3 and BF4

[keen hound]

Me neither in all honesty

[amber kelp]

Here's a scenario for you: Russia vs the Middle Eastern Coalition, Caucasus Mountains.

[keen hound]

But it's either that or some other dumber shit bro

I don't think anyone would find interest in a game where you fight as the Middle East or Russia

[amber kelp]

dude I want the MEC back so bad

they were a VIBE

BF2's plot was complete nonsense but god they were cool

[keen hound]

Plus you gotta realize they're yapping about this whole thing being their "most ambitious project yet" as if they didn't release Portal saying the same thing

[amber kelp]

Yeah I dont buy their hype at all

[keen hound]

Fuck Battlefield when am I getting Battlefront 3

Instead of Battlefield 1 recolored as a Star Wars game

[dire quarry]

does anyone else's melee just break sometimes? Like you can't melee until you die?

[keen hound]

It's 2042

[naive ember]

Battlefront 2043

[keen hound]

Battlefront 3 will only be the sequels

Someone make me head of EA

I know what I'm doing

[autumn niche]

Lfg

[amber kelp]

now hold on hear me out:

• non canon game
• story completely rewrites the sequels

[keen hound]

Now hear me out

Hear me out good

[autumn niche]

How do I use lfg in battlefield 2042

[amber kelp]

hearing

[keen hound]

I forgot what I was gonna say

OH!

And all of the Elite soldiers are just characters we make up

No canon characters

Not a single one

[amber kelp]

yeah yeah yeah, and instead we make it a battlefield game and call it 2143

[keen hound]

Not to be mixed up with 2142

The game equally as terrible I mean revolutionary

[mental delta]

Yeah that's what rumors point to

Geopolitical context led them to change Russian troops into some PMC lol

[amber kelp]

Honestly might work better for the plot

The game wouldnt have to turn a blind eye to nuclear weapons

[mental delta]

That would be cool af

Sick of NATO VS Russia settings

As you said I'd like to be a Middle-East coalition though

[arctic grove]

Guys , should I refund battlefield 2042 ? It working bad on my pc and I could get it in the future if I want to .

[amber kelp]

ye

[amber kelp]

You mean US vs Russia.
The rest of nato is never included

[mental delta]

Yeah fuck that game Clone Wars dude

Better for your mental health trust me

[mental delta]

Yeah that's the worst part lol NATO isn't even a thing

It's always only yankees VS ruskies

Fuck that

Us Frenchies and Britishes exist too

[arctic grove]

From what I understand its a yes ?

[mental delta]

Yes uninstall it

[keen hound]

I can do US VS Rus but I want more factions

Like EU or China or something like that

Do something with Mexico

[mental delta]

Me too but it ain't gonna happen, it's always 2 factions only

[keen hound]

It's so lame

I don't want micro transactions galore so I can give my soldier bigger balls

[mental delta]

I'd like Europe VS Russia
US VS Russia
Europe VS Middle East Coalition
Russia VS Middle East Coalition
US VS Middle East Coalition
US VS South American Coalition

[keen hound]

It'd be cool if it was structured like HLL

Or similar

One big guy to control the entire team and then the squads and whatnot

[mental delta]

Yeah we gotta wait I guess

Until Dice fucks us pretty hard again

"Here you lads your unfinished so-called BF game with 15 guns, 6 maps and 2 usual factions we've been using for years"

[amber kelp]

US VS South American Coalition
Why?

[mental delta]

Why not ?

[amber kelp]

The US is allied with the majority of South America

we only have beef with Venezuela

Just seems silly

[arctic grove]

I mean , refunding but ok

[mental delta]

Fidel Castro could be like "fuck yankees they've been playing with us balls for too long" and create a whole coalition with the worst of South American leaders

[mental delta]

Refund it

Everything you can

[arctic grove]

Ok

[mental delta]

Even intend a trial to Dice I'd you can

[amber kelp]

Castro is dead, not south american, and has no allies in south america.

[mental delta]

No in the BF lore he got his hands on some compound V and a tail grew in the middle of his back

He's still alive

[amber kelp]

ah of course

thats how he survived the assassinations

[mental delta]

Yup pretty much

With the big ass tail

[keen hound]

Oh keep cool weather like tornadoes though

[amber kelp]

god no

[keen hound]

The weather actually doing shit was cool though

I get it was to fly around but this time it just buttfucks you

[amber kelp]

Tornado was a massive waste of time. I like stuff like sandstorms and blizzards, but the tornado just sucked

[keen hound]

And better levelution

[keen hound]

Because tornadoes don't work like in 2042

The one in 2042 was just weak sauce and didn't do anything cool
