battlefield-2042

[keen hound]

Just sat around

[amber kelp]

making it more annoying is not the answer

[keen hound]

Make it actually destroy buildings

Maybe like make a trench or some sort of land change

That or actually make land change instead of slowly pulling a Call of Duty and having static maps

Static Maps actually make me wanna kms

Or make cooler gadgets instead of like 4 you can use

Or more aircraft on one map?

Or more aircraft period

[naive ember]

Less aircraft

[azure zenith]

Damn @naive ember got the pink drip going on! 💪💯

But yes less aircraft

[tawny carbon]

while inspecting the 2 pistols in FNB, its a stat screen bug xD

[weak vector]

I remember in BF4 when stuff like that actually worked

Sad how it wasn't carried over to 2042

[chilly jacinth]

you can make holes in the ground

theyre just not that deep

[weak vector]

If they ever make another battlefield game again, I'm hoping that very few people will pre order. Let those inpatient to buy become the guinea pigs with potential buyer's remorse. If it turns out good, then I'm happy

[pine roost]

I saw a Reddit post of someone complaining about how much of a tragedy was, then said he’ll pre order the next one and hope it’s better.

They will still get loads of pre orders, cause those who do aren’t the ones who talk in servers like this.

[weak vector]

Yup. There's several dozen active people here at most, but tens of thousands of players who don't even browse the community groups

I stopped pre ordering when AAA companies kept shoveling barely made games, with the intention of fixing them 1-2 years down the line

[hazy viper]

jesus, FNB is so craaap
can't hit a thing and the console kids are on rampage

[tawny carbon]

I hear skill issue of if that sentence

[hazy viper]

Could be the case, of course. I am by circumstances excluded from the skilled folks.
However, the BF3 setup feels like I'm in constant lag or something 🤷‍♂️

[tawny carbon]

You have bad internet connection

And/or have high ping to the server

[hazy viper]

I sit on a fairly decent line. BF2042 gunfight feels just fine.
I'll check the ping .)

[tawny carbon]

On scoreboard right of your name is server ping, I circle it in red

That’s your ping to the server. Your internet also affects your gameplay as well ontop of server ping

That goes for any game

[weak vector]

I don't do FNB as often as I could. What's so cool about it again? It it just a limited mode only on Fridays?

[hazy viper]

my ping is from 5 to 10 most of the time

[weak vector]

Dang dude, do you have gigabit internet or something? I'm always at 80-100 ping lol

I wish I had 5 - 10 ping

[placid haven]

Does this game still get updates?

[placid pike]

been a while since I've played but still got it

[tawny carbon]

Connecting to the wrong servers dawg

If you connect to your region servers. Your server ping will be hella lower

[weak vector]

But there's no server browser

I don't really do BF Portal often

[oblique vigil]

LET'S GO I GOT A DRAUGR MASTERY BADGE

AND I UNLOCKED...

...the ground radar sensor

[tawny carbon]

Do you play by yourself or with friends?

Cuz if you do normal matchmake. It’s based of your location. If you join a party. It goes based off of party leader’s location

[weak vector]

Friends do not exist for me for this game

So I just do normal matchmaking

[tawny carbon]

Dw I solo play 99% of the time for anything

[weak vector]

Same, except for Squad. I think I got some buddies who occasionally let me join them

But even then I mostly solo

[tawny carbon]

I don’t play squad games since arma 3 6 months after it came out

[plush echo]

What do you think is the metric someone can be considered a good sniper ? Like how many kills on average

[arctic grove]

Hello. EA App closes by itself while playing BF2042. BF2042 crashes because EA App closes. Is there a solution for this problem in EA App?

[placid pike]

no clue

[covert depot]

Is portal even alive

[weak vector]

Being a good sniper isn't just about killing

Using tools to support your teammates and hinder enemies is also part of your job

Well at least, in this game it's not just about killing lol. In other games it is

[patent pivot]

If they only kill. They might as well go play tdm only

[vital quail]

Most useless role in a squad

[covert depot]

I mean, depending on the environement youre in

If youre more like an Designated marksman

You are working on suppressing enemies

If youre a long range sniper

Fire only at enemy HVTs

[steel fable]

don't worry dice will beg us back to play when they see how delta force: black hawk down does better in sales ....plus a swift kick in the rear of knowing that they messed up is a good take away lesson to not let EA bully you to rush a game out lol ......be glad least its not a AAAA title game like skull n bones and how no one liked it in 5 mins of playing it.

to be frank if i herd my CEO claimed my game was a AAAA quality game i would of shot myself in the foot for every lie that came out of their mouth

my foot would become swiss cheese if i was partnered with ubicrap

[void gorge]

Good evening, I don't know if I've already asked this question here, but I'm playing 2042 and just now I was driving the tank and I destroyed enemy equipment in which they spawn on the map, but I saw that I didn't gain xp, so I want to know if it's normal to not get any reward because when If you run over an enemy soldier in the game with a vehicle, obviously you gain something

[weak vector]

That Chinese copycat clone probably won't succeed

They were so busy copying homework off 2042, that they forgot to remove specialists from their game

The very thing a large portion of the community hated (among several issues, of course)

However...they are doing something right. Guns have detailed stats like recoil pattern, damage, and more! I wish battlefield had that. Instead we gotta go look up that shit on other websites

[vital quail]

Battlefield killer number 620

Dead after a year

[weak vector]

Honestly I expect that clone to die in a month

Like battlebit

[tall shadow]

everytime i start the game it crashes after like 7 minutes

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1128014035313504478/1269064774612680784/image.png?ex=66aeb42c&is=66ad62ac&hm=3362fb4d9dad5d2e39b4b4cd8f10752b51ae95340fd5038fc1ac8d7da97f4f43&

this is the error

[zealous loom]

Rollback drivers if you can if not download some older ones

[pine roost]

There isn’t really a metric you can use. Kd is inflated naturally if you choose to stay far back and away from combat, so it’s mostly down to your innate reasoning for how well you may be holding angles and taking out folks with advantage over your teammates

Although as long as you’re putting spawns up in good places and not spending a minute trying to get one kill I’m happy

[zealous loom]

If you can help clear the OBJ well and counter snipe than you’re at a good start

[weak vector]

I treat the recon role like an assassin

[pine roost]

Counter sniping is definitely something worth doing

[weak vector]

Quietly take out players, give everyone visibility with motion sensors, and dip out is my preferred play style

[pine roost]

Since it then makes their snipers target your snipers and engage in an endless battle that keeps the other guys safe

[weak vector]

Have you ever seen clips of that super old bf veteran? Dude could take you out across the map and he's probably double or triple the age of the average bf player

I could never snipe like him

I tried and kept missing :p

[zealous loom]

Pretty cool dude, I’ve seen him

[tall shadow]

how? i never done that i only updated drivers

and it makes no sense that bf2042 arent compatible with new drivers

[zealous loom]

It’s pretty easy to do, I’d watch a YT vid

[pine roost]

Used to back in bf4 days, but long range sniping just bores me now

But he’s having fun so I don’t mind

It’s funny though when you see someone on that solar farm tower trying to get you from across the map and you just end him in an instant

[weak vector]

I'll repeat this request again: I wanna be a FPV drone operator in the next battlefield game. Let me drop grenades on camping snipers

:3

[plush echo]

Grandpagaming

I got some sniping tips from seeing a few of his clips

[weak vector]

Sadly I can only fulfill my FPV fantasies in battlebit where I crash into players and blow them up

And I don't even like battlebit that much anymore

[pine roost]

And squad

If what you’re talking about is what I think it is

[weak vector]

Squad let's you use FPV drones against players too?

[plush echo]

Make battlefield great again

[weak vector]

I've never seen it

[pine roost]

Dunno specifically but you’ve got bomb drones

[weak vector]

I want those in battlefield please

I'm begging the devs

[pine roost]

In the same way as you’d put c4 on drones in bf

[weak vector]

I put AP mines on them in battlebit and ram them into people. I'm not quick enough to switch to my c4 detonator in time lol

I'd like the next battlefield to have a drone with explosives already equipped

[pine roost]

I really wouldn’t

[weak vector]

Either drop it onto players or ram into them like a kamikaze

[pine roost]

I get that it’s part of the bf sandbox, but there is no satisfaction dying to an explosive drone

[weak vector]

What if the drone had low health and you could shoot it from the sky

[pine roost]

If it behaves like the current c4 drone then it won’t be too bad as that’s slow enough

[thick cypress]

Holy caulk and taters

It's impossible to have a 1 on 1 dogfight

[weak vector]

I agree to balance that out. Explosives would already weigh down a regular drone irl anyway

[pine roost]

Oh yeah, a proper dogfight rarely happens in this

The stars have to align

Without someone else just swooping in

[pine roost]

I don’t use real life as a basis for balance, but if that helps explain it away, sure

[half prairie]

My brains having a stroke where do I go to buy the battle pass

[pine roost]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-the-neat-part-you-dont-invincible-gif-27194608

[weak vector]

yeah I didn't know how to say "I agree" for a second, so my brain came up with a weird alt reasoning lol

[pine roost]

Don’t worry, it’s not you. There just isn’t a pass on at the moment

[weak vector]

I know realism isn't a good reference for a series where bullet wounds can be healed by a floating med kit in 5 seconds

[mental delta]

BP is over bro lol

[half prairie]

fml

[weak vector]

yeah that was the last season of the game

[pine roost]

For once the game isn’t asking for more of your money!

[weak vector]

we won't get another bp

[mental delta]

It's like asking where you can buy a huge warm coat while it's Spring lol

[weak vector]

think of the good side though: you save money, and you can buy next Battlefield's BP

Seriously

[mental delta]

Next BF is still a bit far away though

[half prairie]

i mean was only 5 bucks but now just got 1.1k coins sitting

[weak vector]

Yes but think of the long term savings

:3

[pine roost]

Buying the next pass before the next game is bold of you

[weak vector]

I wonder if bf coins are transferrable to the next battlefield game

I hope it is

[mental delta]

I hope next game got more than 1 map a season

[weak vector]

I hope next game has ACTUAL DESTRUCTION

not this dumbed down "destruction" for environments

[pine roost]

I hope many things, but I can’t be bothered to convey them as setting expectations will just lead me down a rabbit hole

[weak vector]

I expect to be let down

How about that

[pine roost]

That’s my approach

As sad as it sounds

I won’t go and rain on anyone else’s parade, but I personally can’t get excited, even though bf is still my second favourite shooter franchise

[weak vector]

I miss the old DICE

[ivory canopy]

This

[mental delta]

My only expectations are : more than 1 map and 2 guns a season, no cringe skins nor specialists, more content at launch than BF2042

That's all

[weak vector]

that's...brutal expectations

old meme I know I'm sorry

[pine roost]

Very general expectations

[mental delta]

I mean that's the least they can do for a game which gets 4 years of development

They doubt have no choice anyway

So they better not fuck up in a dumb way

[pine roost]

Just I was thinking more on a mechanical and balance basis.

But the fact that these are our hopes says a lot to be honest

[weak vector]

bold to assume that the management of this studio won't fuck up massively

[pine roost]

Ah well, the ‘leak era’ will certainly be an interesting one

For better or worse

One thing I really hope they do is another larger scale alpha type test

Just get loads of people in to stream it

The secrecy of 2042’s tests just felt so off

And it’s clear why they did it that way

[weak vector]

Or if not, a beta test where the build isn't a few months old

[mental delta]

Next BF got dino mode, OnlyFans specialist and fucking Amdrew Tate as skin ??? 😱

[weak vector]

It's pretty sad when Battlefield has no real competitors

No reason for them to innovate or try hard to create a game that players would really rave about

[pine roost]

Delta force seems to have the same problems too

But at least it’s somewhat polished

Other than that? Yeah nothing really

I just stick to arena shooters

[weak vector]

Delta Force will have a brief high due to it being f2p, then everyone will realize it's just a near direct copy of 2142 and leave

idiots over there were too busy stealing and not innovating

[pine roost]

Or it’s extraction mode will stick around and the rest abandoned

I find it funny how some people consider it a bf replacement when it literally has specialists that are equally as cringe as 2042

But oh well

We’ll see come August 6th

[weak vector]

wait...Aug 6 is when it's released for everyone?

[pine roost]

Another alpha

[weak vector]

Oh. Well, by the time they finish stealing from 2142 and releasing 1.0, Battlefield might just have a new game in time

[half prairie]

wonder what setting the new bf will b

[mighty holly]

It’ll be set on earth

[oblique vigil]

You don’t know that

[weak vector]

bad company 3?

[latent hornet]

Best kill streak?

[willow sky]

2142 remaster

[bright breach]

hey guys looking for teamates to play 2042 West Coast

[ivory canopy]

I don't want a Bad Company 3

[ivory canopy]

Anyone knowledgable on the BF2042 lore, what's become of David Falck?

[tawny carbon]

Delta force will shine but battlefield will be the main of its genre.

If next BF game don’t do well. Delta force will make battlefield look meh.

At this rate for the franchise to keep it going. Next BF game might be the “make or break it” for alot of people in the community.

[tawny carbon]

Falck the specialist in the game. David is her son

[ivory canopy]

I am aware of that. I'm currently scouring the codex for any word on what became of him, if any.

[azure meteor]

That would be a misstep. The majority of the community wants a modern setting

[tawny carbon]

Wym become of him?

[ivory canopy]

Like, is there any word on what actually happened to him?

[tawny carbon]

Look at this

https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Maria_Falck

[azure meteor]

If they listen to the community, it'll either be Modern, Near-Modern, Cold war, or Gulf war. At least, those are the most wanted in the community

[tawny carbon]

Battlefield wiki is a great source

[tawny carbon]

Modern setting

Just like BF3/4/2042 is

If they follow the main story line. It will be after 2042. Who knows 🤷‍♂️

Yes BF3/4/2042 is all linked together

[ivory canopy]

That doesn't really tell me anything that is either not in the game or is in the game but yet to be found.

[tawny carbon]

Umm 🤔

[next onyx]

Oh yeah David has no fucking mention lmao

[ivory canopy]

So if there's ambiguity on that, that gives a plausible storyline to add to a sequel to BF2042.

e.g: what if David ends up becoming a major leader of a newly reunited Europe?

[next onyx]

They should have just added David as a specialist, gotten rid of revive quotes regarding him and there.

For context if dozer revives falck he says "get up we need to find david"

[ivory canopy]

I am aware of that.

[next onyx]

Oh nah but not enough people who main dozer actually have half a braincell.

[vital quail]

Just read that falck is the oldest at 58 but everyone plays her like she's 20 running around everywhere

[next onyx]

This game and its fucking mains are so obvious in their playstyle. If I'm being a dick I apologise but I really don't care anymore.

[next onyx]

Nvm hyper mobile bombsuit guy.

[vital quail]

🤨

[next onyx]

I don't really care as I'm glad stuff like that doesn't get in the way of game play.

[tawny carbon]

I can inv you to the 2043 discord via dm @ivory canopy . It timed me out posting it in here. There is a lot of lore people in there for 2042

[ivory canopy]

I reckon you, if they did make a BF2042 sequel, I think the specialists most likely to be alive in that universe are Casper and Sundance

[next onyx]

They just need to do a wolfenstein and selectively make things canon and move on from it.

[tawny carbon]

Irish is still here since BF3/4

[ivory canopy]

I didn't know Irish was in BF3

[tawny carbon]

O wait that’s only BF4 I think

Been ages to remember

[ivory canopy]

Y-yea

His uniform from BF4 is a legendary in BF2042

LOL

[tawny carbon]

Yea only BF4. My b

[ivory canopy]

I know the BF4 campaign killed off a couple characters from BF3

[tawny carbon]

Sad times but true. Ngl BF4 is still one of my fav stories next to BF3

[ivory canopy]

I didn't care much for BF3's story to be honest.

Thunder Run and Night Shift were great. Other than that...

[tawny carbon]

[ivory canopy]

BF4's story was fine

[tawny carbon]

I just hope they continue the lore/story from 2042. Continue the legacy

[ivory canopy]

For those wondering, I'm referring to ||Jen Hawkins getting killed in the first mission of BF4, and Dima Mayakovsky dying after the Chinese prison escape.||

[tawny carbon]

I remember that mission sad 😔

Matter of fact. I should lowkey redownload BF3/4 and play campaign in order again.

[ivory canopy]

The Fandom wiki refers to ||Hawkins|| in BF4 as different from the one in BF3. I'm convinced they are one and the same.

[tawny carbon]

Wiki says he only appears in BF4 only

[ivory canopy]

All I see that disproves ||Hawkins from BF3 being the same one as in BF4|| are a couple editor comments on the comments section of the article for the character from BF3; that just isn't good enough proof for me.

[tawny carbon]

Greenland is a colonel in BF2042

She got promoted

Apparently Recker was appeared in 2042 Suez

Dimitri Mayakovsky is KIA, Laszlo W. Kovic is KIA. They are characters I checked in BF4 wiki were in both BF3/4

[ivory canopy]

I also checked the lore server and there, too, doesn't seem to be a true agreement on whether the ||Hawkins|| from BF3 and the one from BF4 are the same or different. The only reference cited is on the BF3 character's page, and it's just a react video rather than a legitimate source. Hell, the article itself makes no attempt to disambiguate the two characters.

[round garden]

why is there a hazard zone channel

[ivory canopy]

Maybe it's plausible that they are different characters. But if there's no actual source, and the evidence shown in the games seems to convey one thing over the other, I kinda have to go with my gut.

[tawny carbon]

This

[round garden]

bf4 my beloved

[tawny carbon]

Or your talking about Jennifer Hawkins?

[round garden]

playing bf4 now with levolution really is a joy, no game does something like this

[tawny carbon]

BF4 is a masterpiece

[round garden]

i think personally

the next game should be heavily inspired by it

[tawny carbon]

Everything about it is beautiful and better than every game

[round garden]

its not true

[tawny carbon]

That’s what I’m saying forever now

[tawny carbon]

Aye. Personal opinion 😂

[ivory canopy]

Also I have a disposition against Fandom wikis.

[round garden]

the gunplay in bf4 is a way better than bf2042, bf2042 feels too arcady

[tawny carbon]

Are you talking about the character named Jennifer Hawkins

[ivory canopy]

Yes

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔 I like both

[thick cypress]

🗣️🏳️‍🌈

[ivory canopy]

I know what the Wiki says. But there's no real disambiguation of the two characters that I can see there. I'm not saying what's presented on there is wrong or implausible; I just think it's dubious if no real sources that confirm or deny it are provided.

and no, I do not believe that senior Fandom wiki editors saying they're different characters is a reliable source.

[tawny carbon]

I looked around. BF3 Hawkins is a navy pilot flying jets, BF4 Hawkins is a marines pilot flying helis

2 whole different specializations

[plush echo]

isn’t that the whole point of 2042 ?

[ivory canopy]

But then that brings up two points to give my theory any sort of plausibility:
1: how often is it that jet pilots may consider becoming knowledgable on helicopters and piloting them as well?
2: how often does it occur where pilots are shuffled between the marine corps and navy?

[tawny carbon]

I mean 2 whole different platforms. A lot of training needed to learn either or. Also shifting branches can be done but that’s a very low chance to do so.

[ivory canopy]

But it wouldn't be implausible, would it?
That said, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I just think the Wiki does a poor job of disambiguating if the assumption is they are two different characters.

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔 I mean not really

Also navy jet fighter pilot takes 18-24 months to be trained. As marine heli pilot takes 2 years to be trained. Just looked it up.

[ivory canopy]

Six years split BF3 and BF4.

[gaunt sable]

I just checked that battlefield 1 revolution is discounted on PS store.

85% discount

Is it worth to get? BF1 servers are still full of players on PS4?

[tawny carbon]

BF3 last mission was on date November 14, 2014, BF4 first mission date was on February 7, 2020

More like a 5 years and couple months gap between

That’s in game date. From the mission.

[ivory canopy]

I will admit, casing them as the same person is a bit of a stretch with what we know of both characters so far.

[tawny carbon]

I would personally still say it’s 2 whole different people

[ivory canopy]

Well, that probably is the more likely scenario.

Just a weird fringe theory I thought. I was for sure they were the same person then the Wiki says they're different people. I still think a lot of it is dubious due to lacking smaller details in spite of the key points.

[tawny carbon]

There would be more info on Hawkins from BF4. But it’s only one small scene. At the end of Baku BF4. It’s hard to make out.

Even if zooming in on Hawkins before she died. It’s still hard to make out the details to fully compare them both.

It may or may not be the same person. The answer will never be clear.

[ivory canopy]

I think I'll pencil it as plausible, but unlikely

[tawny carbon]

https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Talk:Jennifer_Hawkins

This guy said she could have a sister. Since both last names is Hawkins

That’s a theory

[oblique vigil]

||A game theory||

[tawny carbon]

I can’t seem to find a voice line of Hawkins from BF3. But Hawkins talks in BF4. So I can’t compare both voices side by side.

The Hawkins mission in BF3. She don’t even talk one bit

[ivory canopy]

Yeah. iirc Hawkins in BF3 doesn't talk at all.

[tawny carbon]

Very hard to say if it’s the same exact person

[ivory canopy]

Yeah. I can't definitely say for sure, because there's no real firsthand source (that I know of) saying such.

[tawny carbon]

I’m tryna figure it out to but all the evidence is very hard.

That theory that person have. Could be the truth. But we will never know could be 2 whole different people. Or blood related as in her sister. 🤷‍♂️

[arctic grove]

Hello. EA App closes by itself while playing BF2042. BF2042 crashes because EA App closes. Is there a solution for this problem in EA App?

[ruby loom]

just let it run in the bg

iam sure u can set up this in settings

[pine roost]

Mine minimises by default but the ea app crashing mid game is something I’ve not heard of before

[void gorge]

which console do you play? and.. one of the options is for you to repair the game from the store you downloaded it from or if that doesn't help, then another option is to go to the ea website and look for the live chat because then you talk to someone who works directly for ea

[void gorge]

your profile photo 😂

[arctic grove]

I start the game but EA crashes after 15-20 minutes. The game closes because EA crashes. I tried everything. But it didn't work.

[foggy delta]

Realism

One thing that’s really kinda kicking DICE’s az

Is the fact that they set the genre of the game to “future”

But the game itself is performs like it was made in 2010

So it’s actually really jarring. Imagine if a movie was made where it was “future wars: 2070” but the whole movie was done with claymation or cardboard cutouts

That’s virtually 2042. Odds are it will be the next game aswell.

[tawny carbon]

A lot of things went wrong about 2042 development till release. Release to S1 up to now.

[foggy delta]

Yeah

I mean bf doesn’t need to go super far into the future

[tawny carbon]

The main part is the development and lack of communication that really fucked them over

[foggy delta]

The game would be less apparently bad if the genre was set back a couple years

[tawny carbon]

Idc about that. As long it makes sense. With the lore/story

[foggy delta]

No way

The 1 person who cares about battlefield lore

🤯 I finally found them

[tawny carbon]

BF have a strong story overall.

[naive ember]

Go play BFV then bud

[tawny carbon]

A lot of people look at the lore and story

BF story and lore is actually insane if you dive deep in it. I’m not a lore/story nerd. But I enjoy it a lot personally.

[foggy delta]

With the way modern gaming is

I have no doubt the next battlefield will have a Rick and Morty+FNAF crossover with premium bundles

That would certainly please the investors

[tawny carbon]

Tbh. BF don’t really do futuristic syfi stuff. Unless you’re counting 2142. Modern works very well for them. Yes 2042 is part of the modern era

[tawny carbon]

They won’t go that far and pull a cod

[foggy delta]

you won’t be sayin that when you get killed by a rick and morty space craft flown by Chica

[tawny carbon]

At most cosmetics will be identical if not the same how they did in BFV and 2042

[foggy delta]

Trust me

I’ll quote this in 7 years

Next BF will be a total flop

Dice will be under pressure

Microsoft buys dice

[tawny carbon]

Just because cod did it. Don’t mean battlefield is copying them. Only thing BF is gonna copy from cod is F2P BR. Even though their past BR modes lacked so hard.

[foggy delta]

Microsoft does their microcringe

[tawny carbon]

EA owns Dice.

[foggy delta]

Dice is forced to put in Baldi, Rick and Morty, and Homelander in BF

nah

Microsoft will buy dice

[naive ember]

Why?

[tawny carbon]

MS have to buy out EA to get all of that. EA always refuses to be bought out.

[foggy delta]

To grow their monopoly

Well not monopoly

But oligopoly

[tawny carbon]

MS have enough monopoly and talent devs

[foggy delta]

I mean I literally have no doubt

[tawny carbon]

If MS really wanted to they can make their own BF alike game. Will they. No

[foggy delta]

At some point EA’s investors will cave to the brain rot

Make goofy interdimensional game or bust

In 7 years there I will be playing as Tupac flying the avengers helicarrier with a Baldi’s basics sticker on the side

[naive ember]

2042 is the best fps ever

[foggy delta]

2042 could be so much better if it had the model 10 hunter

it would be better if the only weapon you could use was the model 10 hunter

[naive ember]

Need more sweats in the game

[foggy delta]

Nah nah, the game would be insane if the entire game was just the model 10 hunter asset

Like you open up the game and all you do is view the 3D model for the gun

[mental delta]

I hope fucking not lol

[mental delta]

Yeah...no...

[naive ember]

No...Yeah...

[violet pivot]

lf 3 more for squad for 2042

[arctic grove]

Just started playing 2042 this week but it’s pretty fun

[patent pivot]

ok

[mental delta]

If you tell me BF2042 is your favorite game or it's a decent game now I can agree but it's definitely not the best FPS game ever

Not even in top 5 BF games I think

[naive ember]

It's the best, better than bf3 and 4 combined

[vocal tusk]

3, 4, 2, 1, V, BC2, 2042

My order

[lilac siren]

Everytime I try to host a game on portal it says game not found?

Server not found*

[modest ivy]

everyone knows 2042 > 4 > 3
it's basic math 😛

[mental delta]

Yeah sure pal... whatever... you think is best

[mental delta]

I agree with this even though I've never played BF2

[mental delta]

I'll advocate for your ban to the mods council

[modest ivy]

I mean, 2142 > 2042

basic math

[mental delta]

Never played it and I don't like futuristic stuff

In pure maths though it's right

[tall shadow]

any1 know how to fix the directx crash, it happens everytime when i load into a match or go into settings. yes i have up to date windows, up to date drivers, up to date directx.

[amber kelp]

ah but also 2142 > 2042

[remote kiln]

intel 13th/14th gen processor?

[tall shadow]

i have AMD processor

ryzen 5 7600 im pretty sure

[remote kiln]

what is the crash?

[tall shadow]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1128014035313504478/1269113010027364432/image.png?ex=66af89d8&is=66ae3858&hm=e7c1fd268b5b83c0dca5136dd2459c15b88d5adc0ea41e3c3fe2327f51e6e062&

ive been trying to get it fixed 24 hours ago. did hours of research even approached people

all yt toturials dont work

i literally bought an entire new pc to play the game, old pc couldnt handle it.

and now im stuck with this.

[ivory canopy]

Looks related to your GPU

I'm no expert with Radeon cards. Looking online, it says the latest driver is 24.6.1, but that error message mentions a driver version 24.7.1. Hmm....

Wait - I'm looking at the previous drivers page. Ignore that...

Well, actually...
Is that the only graphics driver you've tried?

[earnest tulip]

Battlefield 2042 already dead ? When new game ? Is EA already surrender ?

[modest ivy]

no
next year
what?

[ivory canopy]

I think the BF2042 servers are still up. The game's kind of done receiving major updates, sadly.

Wish they'd at least add more guns.

[modest ivy]

IIRC they've only announced that seasons are over, that doesn't mean there won't be new content

[kindred flint]

dont get their hopes up like that

[ivory canopy]

I probably won't count on new guns.

If anything, at least add the AN-94, M95, and M1 Garand.

[oblique vigil]

True...

[tawny carbon]

My order BF4,BF2:MC,2042,3,BC2,1,V

Most to least Fav

[vast sedge]

Yoooo putting 3 after 2042 is a crime

[naive ember]

Joining a match right before it ends is a crime

[tawny carbon]

2042 gives me BF4 vibes without the content load. Also BF3 feels meh overtime. 2042 have bits and pieces of other BF games in it also.

[vast sedge]

Well i feel like you will like upcoming delta force game

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔 depends if it’s gonna feel like a mobile game or a AAA game. I’m very concerned about its UI tho on PC.

[vast sedge]

I played it on pre alpha and after test ended I came back to 2042

Bf2042 feels more like alpha test product lol

[tawny carbon]

Better not be some mobile Diablo type shit. When they import a mobile game to PC. It feels like just like a mobile game still but a Google play emulator

[ivory canopy]

That's because it was released during the alpha

[vast sedge]

Gunplay feels nice thats for sure graphics close to CoD

[tawny carbon]

If UI looks like mobile. I can’t play it for long. UI say a lot of thing to me. I’m not blind as a bat to see the big Join button on my 27in 1440p monitor for my pc

Only why I’m saying this because the game is gonna be updated and cross play with mobile devices. Which concerns me.

[vast sedge]

There won’t be cross play between mobile devs confirmed

Only with console

[tawny carbon]

Welp. Either way imma play with it off. Unless I play with a console player in a squad.

Also the BR lookin game Looks very cheap in delta force

[vast sedge]

Trust me bf2042 doesn’t look better than df

[naive ember]

2042 is the best looking fps out bud

[ivory canopy]

I haven't seen the game and yet I'm inclined to take your word for it, to be honest.

[tawny carbon]

So your saying it looks worse

[vast sedge]

Bah graphics kinda close to CoD but with less details around map to optimize it

[tawny carbon]

Cod varies. Which cod we talking

[vast sedge]

Minimum requirements GTX 960 or smth

[vast sedge]

Last or MW2

[tawny carbon]

How’s the movement and gunplay

What game you can compare it to

[modest ivy]

released 10 years ago
... damn, that long already?

[vast sedge]

Gunplay to call of duty but with a bit more recoil and movement also to CoD but slower even slower than in 2042

[tawny carbon]

Slower

[ebon pilot]

GTX 960 minimum but also 12 GB of RAM hmm?????

[tawny carbon]

Imma be moving around like a old grandpa now compared to 2042

[vast sedge]

You can watch in YouTube every one who played tell the game is good optimized

[ebon pilot]

people on YouTube have at least 2080s

[tawny carbon]

Fax

[ebon pilot]

remember, the 960 is

OLD

[vast sedge]

Yeah

[tawny carbon]

960 would be better if it was atleast recommended 2080+ or minimal

[ebon pilot]

I could run 2042 on my 2080 at 5120x1440 pretty easy, if DF has similar perf to 2042 then yeah it'll be fine. But a 960??? My first GPU??? I doubt it'll be a great experience

[tawny carbon]

Fuck it. Make it recommended 3080

[ivory canopy]

BF2042 will run on a 970

[patent pivot]

hey game is good on 2070

[ivory canopy]

if you have it set up right

[tawny carbon]

Idgaf. I have a 3080 for now

[ebon pilot]

Like the 12 GB of RAM is a crazy requirement for a game that only needs a 960. What are you putting on that RAM? It's not graphics.

[remote kiln]

no its not

the GPU and RAM requirements are not linked

[tawny carbon]

CPU minimal requirement is an i3

[ivory canopy]

What computer exists that uses 12 GB of RAM? Usually the jump is from 8 straight to 16, and iirc it's less efficient to use an odd number of RAM cards.

[vast sedge]

You know how it’s going now like you buy 3060 and after year this gpu already will be considered as old

[ivory canopy]

Yeah I know.

I get a 3070 Ti and six months later they announce the 40 series

But my GPU should be good for a while.

[remote kiln]

a lot lol

its literally

nothing exceptional

[ebon pilot]

The question is what computer has 12 GB specifically installed

Not 16 GB. 12.

[ivory canopy]

Yeah that's what I was asking.

[tawny carbon]

You can buy a single stick of 12gb

[ivory canopy]

No shit? Lemme see

[remote kiln]

DDR5 is a multi config die, 4x3 configurations exist as do the opposite, youre all wondering over nothing, 12GB just means the minimum the game requires relative to not entering zram

as an example

[tawny carbon]

A lot of 2015 ish pcs as mid range had 12gb of ram

[ivory canopy]

I mean, I am aware that you can put three RAM chips into a machine. I considered it with my rig. But I ultimately went straight to four sticks.

[tawny carbon]

I only have 2 sticks. Both 16gb

[ebon pilot]

I have 4 sticks of 16 GB

do i use it no

[remote kiln]

its always preferential to have 2 sticks over 4

[ivory canopy]

Context: my original plans were to have a 48 GB machine. But I heard that it might cause problems so I just decided on going from 32 (the configuration I had it in when I first built it) to 64.

Maybe it would've been fine anyways. I'm not particularly knowledgable of it.

[tawny carbon]

Higher than 32gb of ram is more made for content creators. Developers ect

[ivory canopy]

Well, I do technically create content.

[tawny carbon]

What videos

[next isle]

64gb gang

[ivory canopy]

Am I allowed to post the link to my YouTube channel here?

[tawny carbon]

I did that on a 16gb ram pc

[next isle]

You can DM him, if he wants it

[ivory canopy]

fair

My rig has been really good for playing Battlefield.

[tawny carbon]

Welp. Imma go for a bit. Gotta do some things.

[ivory canopy]

(well, I only built it up for that)

My PC is a bit of a Frankenstein's monster.

[tawny carbon]

If I run everything maxed out, 1440p, ray tracing on. I get 120fps with DLSS Quality on

[ivory canopy]

I haven't really benchmarked my framerate lately.

I know it runs fairly smoothly, for the most part.

[tawny carbon]

I don’t benchmark. I just pay attention to fps counter when I play games

[ebon pilot]

dev gang

[next isle]

Gotta feed Docker

[ebon pilot]

need 64gb for this chromium build

pain

[ivory canopy]

Its original configuration was a bit simple. But I made a passion project out of it and now it has two GPUs to accomodate how it's configured.

Yes. I know it's weird and people will look at me like, "Why the fuck would you do this when (insert simple solution here) is an option?" Well, this is my PC, and it makes me happy.

[kindred flint]

chromium build?

oh, you just want to open a single tab of chrome and need 64gb?

[ebon pilot]

think more compiling chrome

from scratch

and then opening a single tab

[agile forge]

Yo guys, what battlefield do ye recommend I buy. I do prefer newer and cleaner style games if that matters

[patent pivot]

"Cleaner and newer"

Now that's an invalid statement

[agile forge]

Nuh uh

You can answer the question or just ping me for no reason

[ivory canopy]

Battlefield 1 is a pretty fun game, actually.

[patent pivot]

Then no, I can't recommend 2042

V and anything below are fine

[ivory canopy]

I don't use Chrome... anymore.

[weak vector]

What's the best sniper rifle in this game and why?

[kindred flint]

any AR instead because youll be more useful to your team than sitting back trying to pretend youre an MLG sniper

[weak vector]

weird answer since I typically run DMRs but okay

[ivory canopy]

SWS for flexibility, DXR for pure 1s/1k sniping.

[weak vector]

not the NTW? Looks like that one has a bit higher damage

[ivory canopy]

NTW is quite bad for sniping.

NTW gets insane bullet drop. Slightly less if you use the super A/P rounds (weirdly).

But this is from someone who T1'd the NTW a long while ago.

[weak vector]

ahhh okay so I will try DXR

[patent pivot]

Who the heck

NTW is only for vehicles

[weak vector]

oh wow, the DXR is actually pretty bad

I think I'll stick with my DMRs

[pine roost]

Dxr is my main sniper

Just a solid balance of everything

Though perhaps you’ll prefer the sws for its firerate

[ivory canopy]

SWS and DXR are pretty close in ballistic performance; so the SWS may be preferable if you want a versatile gun.

[weak vector]

yeah I have DXR at level 1 or whatever you want to call it. Just the basic attachments

It's absolutely painful to use compared to my DMRs

[ivory canopy]

Well, if you're so used to DMRs, that may explain it.

[weak vector]

the bullet velocity for snipers in battlefield games always felt too slow, and they never really felt powerful

guess 2042 isn't any different

[ivory canopy]

I mean, from a practical standpoint, if I was a marksman in a hot situation where enemy soldiers could come at me fast from varying angles, I'd definitely want a semi-automatic rifle, if not a full-auto.

Well, if you want a bolt action that can score easy 1HKs, then the NTW is a thing. Just know it's not really good for actual sniping due to the insane bullet drop

[weak vector]

so that's more of anti vehicle?

[ivory canopy]

also iirc the ensured 1HK range is only within 100m with the standard anti-materiel rounds. Thereafter you must get headshots for a 1HK. According to Sorrow's stats page, the high-power anti-materiel rounds don't 1HK at all unless you headshot.

but iirc the HP AM rounds actually have less bullet drop.

[ivory canopy]

Correct; it will damage vehicles.

[vital quail]

I don't think I've ever worried about the ntw when using a vehicle

[weak vector]

So I guess if I use DXR, does it even get better with attachments? or does it still suck?

[ivory canopy]

As a matter of fact, destroying vehicles with the NTW does count to mastery.

[ivory canopy]

You should build it to take the best advantage of its long range. The DXR has relatively little bullet drop (not very noticable until around 200m).

Use the scope that you're most comfortable sniping with, and use the high power rounds.

Well, come to think, maybe the bullet drop is more prevalent with the standard rounds?

Most of my time with the DXR and SWS has always been with the high-power ammunition.

[weak vector]

the default ammo it comes with is high power

[ivory canopy]

The rationale being that if it's a slow-firing rifle, I may as well use it to its strengths.

[ivory canopy]

Yeah iirc I think that's how it was.

I think the default scope is the 8x.

But if you're not privy to that, you'll be able to unlock the other long range optics for it too.

[weak vector]

yeah I'm mainly on breakthrough

conquest feels too slow paced for me now

[ivory canopy]

The bolt action rifles were among the first T1s I got.

NTW was the first bolt action I got to T1

If you favor something that's the most versatile, use the SWS instead.

That can unlock underbarrel GL and shotgun

[weak vector]

I could try that yeah. I've been told it sucked for the longest time so I avoided it

[oblique vigil]

Does high-power ammunition reduce bullet drop?

[ivory canopy]

From my recollection, yes.

The HP ammo has higher velocity so it'll go farther before it's dropped considerably.

[oblique vigil]

Makes sense

All this vector stuff in portal is a bit confusing.

[weak vector]

damn I actually found my first hacker

insta killing everyone with default M5A3

[ivory canopy]

That's, uhh, bad

Report them and leave server. All you can do.

[weak vector]

I'm surprised there aren't more. I've only encounted one hacker in the past 8 months

and yet we still won

barely won

[oblique vigil]

[ebon pilot]

SWS. It has everything

• Long range
• Medium range
• Covert
• Under barrel shotgun
• Under barrel shotgun
• Under barrel shotgun
• Under barrel shotgun
• Under barrel shotgun

[ivory canopy]

Yeah. The Masterkey is pretty massive to have on a gun in this game.

I unashamedly abused masterkey on the LCMG any chance I got because I hated the LMG to which it was attached that much.

[kindred flint]

if you cant get it done in 200 rounds...

[ivory canopy]

Good luck waiting over 10 seconds reloading it.

[weak vector]

I hate this community sometimes. Not in discord, but in 2042. I get teams where I'm 3m away from a squad and he doesn't revive me

[ivory canopy]

Ok. 9.33 seconds. But that's still obscene when every other gun in the game reloads quicker. Hell, the LCMG with any other ammo besides standard extended reloads far faster.

[weak vector]

then I get teams where I ping an enemy and no one goes after him and he's close

and then just now, I got teams where 80% of the people are OUTSIDE OF THE OBJ

[ivory canopy]

Yup

They do that

[weak vector]

I kinda ALMOST miss SBMM at this point because at least I got COMPETENT people

[ivory canopy]

Because fuck the objective

[weak vector]

I honestly hate about 95% of my matches

and I often contemplate why this game isn't free

I paid $10 and I still feel ripped off on most days

[kindred flint]

honestly with large LMG capacity mags, unless they were the absolute bullet hoses, reloads never felt that bad

[weak vector]

I'll give it a try but I haven't seen anyone use it

[ivory canopy]

I have four LMGs left to get a T1 on, and ironically, I fear the mag-fed LMGs a fair bit due to the lack of accuracy relative to the other LMGs.

[oblique vigil]

Bots always play the objective.

[ivory canopy]

Once you unlock the long barrel and heavy ammo, it starts to get good.

[weak vector]

sadly, the overwhelming majority of 2042 players are idiots and don't do objectives. Wish I could get a competent team

[kindred flint]

last year i went on a bit of a LMG t1 whore spree so im pretty biased still the amount of just hold left click i was able to do was a tad intoxicating

[ivory canopy]

Oh yeah. That's a key point I should iterate with the bolt action rifles. Use the long barrels.

[oblique vigil]

Bots are very competent

Fr

[ivory canopy]

They're objective-competent. Combat competent, not so much...

[oblique vigil]

They’re pretty good at fighting too

At least the advanced ones.

[weak vector]

finally this round, my team knows what they're doing

[weak vector]

Is it really worth the trade offs?

[oblique vigil]

The only trade off is rate of fire, if you want RoF you’re probably using the wrong weapon

[ivory canopy]

On a bolt action rifle, rate of fire is the least of your worries. Use the long barrel.

[weak vector]

got it

One thing I've always hated that they never fixed, was takedowns

75% of the time when I get the prompt, it just melees them normally and doesn't do the execution animation

[torn pier]

Ok boys I was slide canceling in cod then I busted through a door and came into battle field some how then I found a beautiful girl and she ran off I was trying to find her but couldn’t I sprint my whole life looking from one thing I knew I’d never find and that one thing was… My Arby’s gift card😢

Always looking for something you’ll never find dying alone with a empty stomach

[ivory canopy]

Hmm... interesting

Anyways

[ivory canopy]

Yeah you gotta be patient with those; really annoying especially when it's on a moving target

Then somehow it magically works on moving targets anyways sometimes

[oblique vigil]

What now

[pine roost]

Honestly feel like I’ve only ever gotten 2 melee kills, but yeah the takedown system is still rather messy even in those few moments

[ivory canopy]

It really is

The default knife is unironically the best option for taking opponents out quick.

[pine roost]

At least it doesn’t have titanfall 2’s magnesia

Although it could still use a similar assassination system just to make it optional

[torn pier]

Wild ain’t it

[ivory canopy]

I'd say the rib tickler is the second best, maybe tied with that scythe looking knife?

[oblique vigil]

The rib opener?

[ivory canopy]

Yes

[oblique vigil]

I don’t understand half of what you said

[torn pier]

Bro that’s what I said so crazy bro

[oblique vigil]

[ivory canopy]

Well, to be fair, there's a fair few knives in-game that match rib tickler's takedown time

[torn pier]

Bro that’s actually so valid

[ivory canopy]

But those aren't as quick as rib opener.

[oblique vigil]

If you’re standing behind the camping sniper who killed you 15 times you want to make it last every second

[torn pier]

Yes

Yes yass

W

[ivory canopy]

I think with Boris, the kills should count toward the mastery. Like, award 100 points toward mastery for any kill achieved with it.

[torn pier]

Brooo

[torn pier]

Yeah

@ivory canopy

What is the best pfp of the ones I’ve used

Elmo sniper dude if the current one?

[oblique vigil]

I’m about to turn 2042 into a tactical shooter

[torn pier]

[steel fable]

whole spat about legit cross overs coming to 2042 if they kept up content production we could of seen characters from Blade Runner, Rambo , Terminator , Aliens Franchise the US Marines corps just a few suggested content development pitches but i mean again its EA and they never liked using legit crossovers like in battlefront we could of had darth revan as a new jedi/sith character, and several other good picks.

just when it comes to IP's its kinda hard to afford em given that then you cross the line of how much just to use some assests.

[round garden]

the ea ceo said that bf7 is gonna be the biggest liveservice game the publisher ever made

tbh, i couldnt care less about that remark as if anyone says liveservice is good, when the base for bf2042 was so bad everyone wanted it to disappear as fast as possible so we get a new title

[ivory canopy]

The next game will be a rush job

110%

[round garden]

maybe but

[round garden]

this guy has lost it

i just read this shit bro wants to make bf nite

as long as bf4 community server are up, i will always have a fall back to a good bf

[ivory canopy]

It'd be preferable if they just made a new game that's playable from launch day and fun.

[round garden]

i mean the ceo saying it will be liveservice

scream about it first not being finished and secondly filled with nonsense

[ivory canopy]

Well, I've already decided I'm most likely not going to buy the next game.

[round garden]

at this point the bf franchise has established a community that does not like when the military shooter moves into a weird direction

[round garden]

i wanna see it atleast, but after the vet devs leaving and them making a game that has better destruction than any bf game is insane

[ivory canopy]

wdym?

[round garden]

the finals

embark

its made from ex veteran dice devs

the game with the insane server side destruction

and what i really appreciate about the finals is not getting stuck on some pebble of geometry like in most bf games

[ebon pilot]

did we play the same game?

they did not fix getting stuck on geometry in the finals

hell they actually added more issues like climbing shit unintentionally because all your movement is server side

[chilly jacinth]

more = better

[pine roost]

People should never pay attention to comments like that, it’s all investor talk and holds no actual weight.

The simple fact that the first thing said about the game covers its post launch state says enough. Just try to ignore it

[cloud token]

Embark is dog water dude, they dont even listen to proper feedback from the community

not even a single damn server maintenance was dropped or hinted from them, they put more effort into the damn store page than the actual game

Servers are still inconsistent and issues/bugs since release are still in the game
i enjoy the game as well but after the constant changes to weapons from the crybaby pc kbm community the games gotten worse for controller players

Sniper rifle is the most consistent gun in the game and deals the most consistent and proper damage but they arent even gonna fix the shots not going to where the crosshair is aimed at

also a big rant on them is that when they do any control changes or add any new control items, they automatically go in and change your own settings without warning, when they added different % zoom sens for different weapons that have different sights, they auto changed the settings for players and didnt even say a single word on it

[agile forge]

Based on the current state of battlefield 2042 and battlefield V, which do yall think presents a better player experience, more fun to play, and is less sweaty cuz I'm bad

[ionic gale]

2042, as it can also have bots and 128p which will give anyone engagements he can win

[cloud token]

if servers are running smooth and stuff isnt bs, i find 2042 to be slightly more enjoyable

[ivory canopy]

idk to be honest. It's been a while since I've touched BFV and even then, I only played it while EA Play or whatever was free for a month.

That said, I did not enjoy BFV.

[agile forge]

Oh ok I see

[agile forge]

Why not

[ivory canopy]

I found a lot of aspects of it were really weird. Plus why would they exclude such a large theatre as the Eastern European front?

To be fair, I don't find BF2042 that much better.

After they updated the UI for 2042 and made it slightly easier to customize weapons and specialists, etc... I find that game has the edge. But then again, I can't vouch for sure they didn't change BFV's interface to be less painful to navigate.

Gunplay on either is a subjective thing, the way I see it.

[agile forge]

Oh right, yea that makes sense

[ivory canopy]

I remember definitely having a disposition against BFV's UI, back then. Have they changed it since? I'd need to play it now to know for sure.

[tough wraith]

is this weekend double xp only for rank xp?

[tawny carbon]

Yes

Only your player rank

All double xp weekends is like that

[tough wraith]

that's useless for me then. Into the S ranks already. Thanks for info

[tawny carbon]

Are you S999?

If not then it’s not useless

S999 is the lvl cap

[tough wraith]

no but there's no rewards after lvl 99

[tawny carbon]

And?

People chase for max level

[grave bane]

~does the game have joystick /hotas/hosas support ?

[tawny carbon]

Should. Every other battlefield games does for PC. Idk abt console side

[tough wraith]

and? it is useless for me like I said. I have no desire to chase for max level. There's no rewards for doing any of that. The number means nothing to me.

[grave bane]

i tried using my dual sticks and single stick combination, but it didn't seem to work...

it was all being marked as a controller

and made my mouse not work at all

[tawny carbon]

Try looking up a YouTube vid or your device

[slow heath]

Me when i post bad rage bait

[tawny carbon]

Or alike your device for advice.

[grave bane]

i did look some up, and the forums too... supposedly there should be some support, but idk if VKB gladiators are supported. t16000s seem to however

[vocal tusk]

Flight sticks dont work well in this game

[grave bane]

using mouse and keyboard doesnt either :|

everything is sluggish with them

[remote kiln]

then don't..? lol

[slow heath]

He wants attention and negative affirmation

Don’t give it to him

[grave bane]

the game should work with at least a single stick... idk why EA fucked that one up so bad

[slow heath]

That’s the same level of rage bait as a 7 year old

[remote kiln]

yeah seems like it

[slow heath]

💀

He clearly knows the answer

[grave bane]

regardless, if there's a way to make it work, i'll try and find it, but this is ridiculous

[slow heath]

If he’s S rank

So it’s bad engagement rage bait

[remote kiln]

it's not a flying game

it doesn't even advertise joystick support

[slow heath]

If you have a legit criticism make it not “if I can’t have it no one can”

[grave bane]

the other iterations had support tho

[slow heath]

[grave bane]

thats why i find it weird

[slow heath]

Tell that to bf5 players

[remote kiln]

yeah certain specific games did, with certain configurations of models, there was never universal support

[grave bane]

could be because of cross play unfair advantages idk

[tough wraith]

jesus i came to ask quesiton got my answer said thanks got out no idea why some of you needed to prolong it. Prolly should've said nothing after I got the answer from zozo ig

[vocal tusk]

More likely that support simply wasnt added, or thought of. With all the issues around this games development

[tawny carbon]

Apparently some flight sucks works and others don’t for 2042. Me personally idk anyways cuz I just fly with MnK.

[grave bane]

well, like i said, i'll try and find some kind of support for at least hotas

[grave bane]

my issue with mouse and keyboard is how janky the controls feel, feels like you're trying to pass a knife through thick goo

that and jets dont maneuver that well, even at high sens

compared to bf4

[remote kiln]

the vehicles for this game are just strictly worse than 4, it's inherit to the game, not much you can do even with joysticks

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔 I have no issues using it unless I’m going straight up or down with an aircraft. That I agree with

Also lil bird feels even more awful now feels heavy like an Apache. I wish it was fast like it was before.

[vocal tusk]

Its hard to describe how they feel. Its not that they arent responsive, just that there is less control of speed, they feel drifty and weird in 2042

[grave bane]

the little bird is horrid... a slight movement to the side and you're upside down

[remote kiln]

well that's impossible because the little bird has less magnetism than the apache

[vocal tusk]

Because you need to use weight to gain speed

I prefer how the littlebird is now

[tawny carbon]

It feels slower than it was before

[remote kiln]

it's not slower they just fixed the floating effect

[vocal tusk]

Na, its faster, you just need more skill to gain speed via diving

[tawny carbon]

No wonder why it feels weird than it was

[vocal tusk]

You fly it now, it doesnt auto fly itself

[tawny carbon]

I play the lil bird since it day one of release. It just feels meh now. (Also haven’t played in couple months since they changed up lil bird)

[vocal tusk]

It feels meh, but you havent played it? Huh?

[remote kiln]

^

[vocal tusk]

How does this statement make sense

[tawny carbon]

It just dosent feel as fast like it was before

[remote kiln]

you missed the point lol

[vocal tusk]

You can actually aim up and down from center without having your aim auto adjusted by auto hover controls. I cant understand how any pilot can say its bad or worse now

You have so much more control

[tawny carbon]

I never use auto hover

[vocal tusk]

You could never not use it before

[remote kiln]

kinda funny people were complaining that they were fighting the little bird and now the problem is it's not doing that anymore

[vocal tusk]

It was always on

[tawny carbon]

The toggle button on the hud

[vocal tusk]

there was literally a user ( @pine roost I believe) who had their name as "fix nightbird auto hover" for 2 years lol

[remote kiln]

didn't do anything lol

he's right

it was always on no matter what you pressed

[vocal tusk]

Yes, it did nothing, auto hover always still pulled you back to center

[tawny carbon]

Bruh. This whole time I thought it work. So it had it off

[vocal tusk]

It never fully disabled it. More like turned a setting from 10, down to 7

[remote kiln]

all it did was disable the night bird from deviating when in hover mode and you weren't controlling it, it was not a auto hover as the description said

[vocal tusk]

On was agressive auto hover, off was medium auto hover

[remote kiln]

the magnetism with centre ground is different, you could never switch that off

[vocal tusk]

It was the worst. Ive been enjoying using it since the change TBH.

I still need to get used to the momentum system, but I get what they are going for.

It feels less like an RC copter now

[sacred lynx]

how do i stop my battlefield 2042 from "Optimzing shaders" at the strt of every game.

[vocal tusk]

Why would you want that?

[pine roost]

Poetic that the first season update broke it, and the last fixed it

[sacred lynx]

Slows down joining time

[remote kiln]

you cant

[vocal tusk]

It doesnt

[remote kiln]

it will stop eventually

[sacred lynx]

It's so annoying takes like 5 mins to lod into a game

[remote kiln]

are you using a hard drive or something lol

[vocal tusk]

Once youve played the map 1-2 times, youll have all shaders built, and it will no longer happen. But I dont believe that occurance affects server join time at all.

[sacred lynx]

nvme aha

[remote kiln]

see this

[sacred lynx]

Yeah, i see

[remote kiln]

it does it when you load into a map, the shaders are never preloaded

[sacred lynx]

So itll eventually stop?

[remote kiln]

yes

once it's loaded one or two times, per map

[pine roost]

it actually feels like I'm the one controlling the damn thing now

[sacred lynx]

Okay no worries, thankyou. I've got an i7 6700, GTX 1070, 32gb ram, nvme ssd and load times are slow as. anyway of potientially fixing them?

[pine roost]

it's definitely slower to roll, side strafes are weakened as a result as a balancing change to make the nightbird overall easier to hit, but i'd gladly sacrifice that for more control

[remote kiln]

processor is over 10 years old need a new one

[vocal tusk]

You can always hold left shift to engage auto hover, even with the setting off also. If you find yourself in need with rolling assistance

[sacred lynx]

ah, so my cpu is letting me down on loading screens :/ i was told that ram would speed them up

[remote kiln]

yes

it's not the memory, just the processor

[sacred lynx]

I see, cheers. New mobo and new cpu time yayay

[remote kiln]

[tawny carbon]

I found it what it felt meh to me. My sens was low. I changed it back to 2cm/360 from 5cm/360. It feels a lot better now.

O yea. Lil bird feels better overall than it was before sheesh

[vocal tusk]

This is what I mean by using left shift to help with controls. Its useful especially on keyboard

[frail lava]

Hi

[vocal tusk]

Left shift engages auto centering on all helis. Tho im not sure if that is explained anywhere in game. Its useful for helping gunners in helis stay on target

[pine roost]

tf, 2cm?
That's worse than way...

i get that's on a heli, but still crazy

[next onyx]

It helps to not try to control the speed half the time now.

[tawny carbon]

When I started my pc gaming career it was 1cm/360

[grave bane]

ok bro.. the moment u need to use ur arrow keys to pitch up and down better than the mouse, there's gotta be a problem

[ebon pilot]

yeah the problem is my brain hasn't mapped the movement of my mouse into the movement of the helicopter

especially large movements which is what i do most of the time

[oblique vigil]

How is it possible that these AGMs are even more useless than the cannons?

I've shot 10 missiles into that vehicle and all I've gotten is vehicle damage.

[oblique vigil]

But I can't farm mastery in portal

Which mode

[spare quest]

yes

[void gorge]

Good afternoon, I'm playing 2042 and I was driving an anti-aircraft gun and there was a moment when I fired 2 missiles at the enemy plane (as I remember it was a helicopter) but I saw very well that the enemy didn't release any type of defense on the plane and my missiles did not go in the direction of the target and luckily I registered this but I would like to know if it is a bug as it is very discouraging

[naive ember]

There's no bugs in this game

[wicked sky]

hey guys does anyone here know if even after the event end will we still be able to play the "defuse the bomb" (lance thing) mode on bf2042? (custom servers too)

[pine roost]

better to bind it to a button closer to wasd, but I seriously don't know why they haven't bound pitch up to space by default at this point

[mental delta]

Probably not

Many on some occasions it'll be a ailanle as temporary mode though

[zealous loom]

Me at 34 and 50cm prior to that

5 is insane

[tawny carbon]

I can’t do anything past 5cm

More than 5cm feels rough and to slow

[zealous loom]

That’s crazy but I guess everyone is different

[tawny carbon]

Before I fully got into pc gaming. On console I always played with max sens

[vocal tusk]

For obvious reasons...

1. They automatically resupply
2. You can guide them

Thy are most useful for anti-air

[grave bane]

nah, i managed to somehow make hotas work

[oblique vigil]

AGMs? For anti-air?

[grave bane]

still a bit janky on rolls and pitches... the settings feel like they're not analog

[oblique vigil]

[vocal tusk]

Ah, you mean helicopter AGM, and not TGM.

AGMs are not meant to be the main damage dealer on helis, so it makes sense that they do less than accurate cannon fire

Depends on the heli of course, as the nightbird now only has 1, while IIRC the atack heli has 2

[oblique vigil]

Me farming the XFAD Draugr:

🚀

[vocal tusk]

Why farm a vehicle you dont like?

[mighty holly]

To 100% something like that idk

[tawny carbon]

https://youtube.com/shorts/GVSgG4Pq_PY?si=uGep84Kx2mxiu9Ng

[oblique vigil]

Cause the kerosene bombs and JDAMs will be super awesome

[ancient wagon]

Is NTW a one shot sniper

[patent pivot]

no

[patent pivot]

its made for vehicles

[oblique vigil]

It one shots to the body within a certain range

[ancient wagon]

Wait so no or yea

[chilly jacinth]

Yes

[ancient wagon]

Just tested it, it is a one shot

I now have found my sniper

[mild obsidian]

yo anyone on rn

[haughty lichen]

Sigma

[oblique vigil]

At last

I have unlocked it

The MK77 Kerosene Bomb

[vital quail]

Only took 561 hours of playing for an angel to understand that me shooting in the air means to drop a loadout

Typing on console is so annoying

[ebon pilot]

did they not understand the ammo symbol floating above your head

[vital quail]

Lol

[ebon pilot]

you did put the ammo symbol above your head right?

[vital quail]

May as well be a ignore me symbol for people

[placid echo]

I managed to get someone to give me ammo after I shot at them with half a M1911 mag

[blazing pilot]

Me shooting at vechicles to wait for me

[pine roost]

The universal sign of a taxi request

[vital quail]

At least you can use the spot/ping button to request a vehicle ride and an audio cue plays for the driver

But often ignored and is one of the reasons I think most people play with the game muted

[vocal tusk]

I wish pinging a vehicle when using the repair tool said stuff like "Let me repair you" or "Repairing your vehicle" instead of requesting a ride

[arctic grove]

Could not agree more

[chilly jacinth]

legacy feature ™️

[tawny carbon]

Tbh. Anything can be a legacy feature

[young panther]

game good now or no?

[pine roost]

Depends what you want from it

But it’s far better than it used to be that’s for certain

[void gorge]

And since when have you been playing? because like... the game launched and was a shameful failure mainly because it was extremely "broken" in terms of the systems working so much that a while ago there was news that the game had finally become "good" after the developers fixed more than 400 "bug's"

[naive ember]

Damn dude you're one of them that likes to reply after 16 hours, I mean really?

Launch this and Launch that blah blah

[naive ember]

Your mind will be in a better place when you stop thinking about the launch bud

[mental delta]

I mean you're one of them claiming this game got no bugs so if I was you I wouldn't talk too loud

[chilly jacinth]

Ur a bug

[mental delta]

https://tenor.com/view/awkward-simpsons-weirdo-gif-13208236239898745061

[copper prawn]

Can anyone give me the definitive answer to what this means?

Dang i cant post it 😦

https://imgur.com/a/bbrNNMO

It's the Number with arrows around it for spawning a vehicle.

[chilly jacinth]

3 already spawned if i remember correctly

[copper prawn]

ahh so maybe a personal cooldown kind of mechanic?

[vocal tusk]

I think they mean it may be telling you how many are already in play/are spawned by other players. Im not 100% sure tho.

[copper prawn]

no that can't be right because i'll see on the actuall map some of those vehicles in use already but no number symbol showing

[pine roost]

Honestly I’ve not been able to grasp what it means either

Sometimes it’s there, sometimes it’s not, be that while it’s respawning, idle or when someone’s flying it

[remote kiln]

no you are misunderstanding it

the number is the total amount of vehicles deployed for that category, it is not for that specific vehicle, what it is telling you is there is already 3 of the heavy vehicle category currently deployed on the map

each team can have a finite amount at once

that's why the draugr it's classified under the jet category

[frozen hollow]

It should be 1 hit kill for all sniper rifle

seriously

[naive ember]

Nah go play bfv then

[frozen hollow]

I want it on 2042

[pine roost]

that would not be at all fun to deal with

everyone and their mother would camp back if it was ever that easy

[frozen hollow]

It would be fun for snipers

[pine roost]

literally just aim up a bit

[frozen hollow]

within 200m, it should be 1 shot kill anywhere in the body

Serious

further than 200m 2 shots

[pine roost]

because that's so fun in milsim servers

although to be fair the people who play those modes don't really do much in the way of trying to avoid shots

[frozen hollow]

Close range also hit with more damages too

So it's good

[placid echo]

Shots within like 20m used to one shot with all snipers which was quite broken if you used Close Combat Short Barrel SWS-10

[covert vortex]

guys when will this game go on sale on xbox?

[vocal tusk]

It wasn't really broken at all. Especially considering you needed extreme accuracy. The same thing could, and still can be done with shotguns at extreme close range.

I can count on one hand the amount of times I was killed up close with a sniper in the year before that nerf. And I never hated or raged that it happened.

All it did was push players wanting that playstyle to the ntw, which is a much more annoying weapon as it's 1hk range is much further.

[void gorge]

now you want to give a "moral lesson" since you yourself brought up the subject first

[vital quail]

YapGPT

[naive ember]

You're one of those dudes that complain and get roasted in game chat

[oblique vigil]

fr

[void gorge]

good.. no complaints generally changes don't happen

[ebon pilot]

except the NTW takes 2 seconds to cycle a round so it's easy to catch an NTW out where they don't belong

SWS short barrel close combat was just a better GVT

you don't have to load rounds one by one, you can switch to a sniper config easily, bullets fly faster, and it one shots in close range

[chilly jacinth]

Sounds like a shotgun to me

[round garden]

tomorrow bf funeral

[celest void]

Hello everyone, I'm looking for players for 2042 if you wanna play with me you can add me on EA App ID:1stCleon

[pine roost]

keen to see how a game that has the same specialist nonsense with quippy characters will top 2042

given that is by far the greatest criticism of 2042, and it's not really doing anything to fix that

[vocal tusk]

Its FTP, has content players havent played or used, stuff to grind, ETC. Its harder to complain about a game thats free, versus a game sold on a false promise/for 70 bucks.

[pine roost]

the free aspect is probably going to be the main reason

unrelated but do you have the portal range code or url? Cropping up errors even though i'm using the one you can host yourself

[vocal tusk]

I dont have it, I save it to my main modes, so no clue what its code is

Try : AA6VFA

Or try this: #battlefield-2042 message

[coral junco]

ive been having a problem when loading up BF i get sound for a couple seconds then i get no sound at all anyone know of a fix for this?

[mossy gazelle]

Hello, any Romanians here ?

[oblique vigil]

😠 I want the secret player cards

I want the 2048 player card

[lyric tundra]

Guys I need someone to unlock the ai in the coop

[copper prawn]

well why does it not show that number all the time, even when i see 3 vehicles of the same catagory on the map actively? Why does it only show sometimes?

[remote kiln]

because it's glitchy is the reason and doesn't function as intended when it should

[copper prawn]

oh okay, it all makes sense now.

ty for your reply

[remote kiln]

np

[void gorge]

is it just me or is the sniper known in 2042 as "bsv-m" a real piece of crap? i ask this because just now in the match, i was using it and i saw that i aimed right at the enemy, i fired countless times but not a single shot hit him

[vital quail]

Bro is the definition of skill issue

[versed sorrel]

you have to lead your shot an acount for range its not like cod where you just aim an shot

sniping in this game is a skill

[vocal tusk]

Ignore them, they post bait like this all the time.

They are just a serial complainer

[versed sorrel]

make's sense since they posted a markmen's as the "sniper"

[vocal tusk]

Its a hybrid CQC/mid range DMR regardless. But this person knows this

As I said, just ignore most things they say (If you want to keep your sanity)

[pine roost]

this was the one I was already using, it seems to have not been updated as it won't boot

[vocal tusk]

Odd, it still works for me. At least when you save it to your modes via the portal builder

[pine roost]

I’ll try and replace the one I have to see if it makes any difference

huh, that works

okay

wait you can use vehicles too in this!

[vocal tusk]

🥳
