battlefield-2042

[wide vessel]

Bro why do you replace 2042 vehicel with portal vehical ?

Will opening animation in breakthrough get changed ?

[sterile canyon]

using outdate vehical idk why

[wide vessel]

And how do devs come up with this idea . That is weird

[sterile canyon]

ask them

[next onyx]

Yooo OCE.

[wide vessel]

I mean sad to see in the end of service period, they balance this game by deleting content rather than adding variety of gameplay.
EBAA with aps , nice.
Deleting vehical that has already exist in breakthrough for three years , bad.

or sad

[next onyx]

Those cringe ass gunships were overpowered.

This isn't saying without merit. They were single handedly the most unhealthy thing about breakthrough and now that they are being replaced improves the health of the mode.

[severe hill]

Is the Portal heli base off the Russian or black hawk?

Or we getting both the Russian and US

[wide vessel]

Thank you
I dont know what are statistics look like, so basically I just pour my own perspective of view.
But I still think and feel that those two gunships are not that overpower, or break the balance. Unless you buff this one with 50mm cannon back to season 1.

[severe hill]

They need to get rid of that 50 cal and gernade launcher, the 2 mini guns should be the main defensive

[next onyx]

UH60

I think it's the U.S one.

[quiet shell]

Kinda hope in exchange for swapping the condor and hind on breakthrough, the UH-60 can carry more players. A flimsier transport but if it gets over the objective it can drop enough players to disrupt the entire defense

[civic socket]

Yo I just got the game 3 days ago can someone coach me a lil im struggling 😭🙏😭

[severe hill]

They should add 3 of thos UH-60 to breakthrough per 3, give it a good mini incursion vibe.

[weak vector]

Damn I'm too lazy to scroll up lol. What's overpowered again? I don't recall there being gunships unless there's a different definition I'm not aware of

[weak vector]

wow no one's on 2042 right now. Servers in NA are nearly empty. I guess everyone's playing the BO6 beta

[mighty holly]

[severe hill]

Nobody plays Codfield 2042 at this time😔

[weak vector]

the new bo6 sucks

back to 2042 now

which also sucks but not as much as bo6 so this is the lesser poison

[ebon pilot]

sorry im busy playing deadlock

[maiden crag]

Hm

[mighty holly]

Based

[next isle]

Real

[naive ember]

[violet grove]

why is every game ass for ya'll bruh

it seems good,only thing that's bad in 2042 is the optimization to pc

that's all imo

[tame crow]

most games are these days unfortunately and yes 2042 fits in the category of "ass"

[violet grove]

idk im not the critical person who always have something that's not good about a game,so for me,many games are really good,like Horizon Forbidden West,GoW Ragnarök,The Finals,Astro Bot for sure,just came out

[tame crow]

everyone should be a critical person because if you are not then you are not thinking.

video games just in a bit of a funk rn for many reasons

all entertainment industries are in the same funk

[violet grove]

i meant somehow i like many games nowadays,that does NOT mean i dont have any games which i dont like,for example,i hate forza motorspott 8,i hate bfv,i hate FC/Fifa (every single one of them)

and many more which i dont remember

sadly we wont be rewarded with a 100% great game,since developers are lazy as hell in MANY MANY cases

so we just sadly have to live with what we've got

[tame crow]

content being put out for the sake of it not because it is quality. you get full releases these days that are like alpha versions of a game. gaming companies are using consultancy firms filled with non gamers and letting them make braindead calls on content in games. gaming media is just corrupt. plus the suits at these big gaming companies are so disconnected from the gamers.

[tame crow]

it is not the devs it is the highers ups in the companies, the suits.

they only care about the designing products to siphon as much money as possible out of people

[violet grove]

1st point is really true (they release full versiond like alpha ones)😩

[violet grove]

yeah that's true aswell,but if they would be a bit grateful for what we give to em,they'd start to work on them products

sadly they spend that money on advertising🤦‍♂️

[tame crow]

the devs at these big companies are talented but are overworked, abused and just not supported to do what good work they have the potential to do.

[violet grove]

brother im learning to become a programmer,i hope i wont get this behavior when in😅

[novel zephyr]

Kind of why Battlefield's in a godless limbo

[tame crow]

dont work at the big ones lol

[violet grove]

ahh😅

[tame crow]

limbo is a good way of putting it

[desert barn]

Does anyone since few days ago have problem with when joining a friend they get kicked out as soon as you get in? It must be related on both players being on the same network.

We had this problem in BFV for the longest time but we have played 500 hours of BF2042 and it never happened before. But since a few days ago it is every single time I join the game the other one get kicked out. Extremely annoying of course.

[novel zephyr]

I mean no one asked for 2042's horrid deconstruction of gameplay elements.

[naive ember]

I did

[next fern]

I just want whatever the next Battlefield is, to actually look and FEEL like Battlefield should. Bring back massive amounts of destruction, no silly "Specialist" crap, Premium DLCs instead of the drip-fed 1 new map every 6 months etc. Might be a reason so many current/former Battlefield players are looking towards games like Delta Force instead of 2042...

[naive ember]

This is the best BF ever, no fps comes close pal not even Delta Fail

[next fern]

Kid, I've played Battlefield games since before it (and you) were even in diapers. Back when there was a little known game called "Codename Eagle".

And 2042 doesn't even come close to being as good as some of its previous titles.

I guess, for a console player such as yourself, 2042 might be the "Best BF ever" (on console). But as a PC franchise first, 2042 leaves much to be desired.

[naive ember]

That's funny cause I have played fps games since the 90s bud, 2042 is hands down the best fps on all platforms especially PC

[next fern]

You can try blowing smoke at someone, but it's not getting anywhere near my backside.

If 2042 is the "Best BF ever", why then are more people playing Battlefield V and Battlefield 1, than the more recent 2042? Riddle me that.

[naive ember]

Bringing up a trash game with a 5.7 rating, no reason to continue with you, you lost the argument already

Not to mention that it's been said over amd over that you can't tell which game is more active

[next fern]

The Battlefield franchise was effectively born out of that "trash game with a 5.7 rating"

1942 which was the first official battlefield, had an 89% rating. 2042, your "best BF ever" currently sits at a whopping... 68%!

[chilly jacinth]

No one has accurate player numbers

so who gives a fuck

[next fern]

I know no accurate numbers exist. People play on different platforms etc. But the one platform where both BF1/BFV and 2042 exists, which CAN be measured accurately, is Steam. And on Steam, the older titles frequently have more players than 2042.

Not saying that means they have more players overall than 2042. But on Steam, they do. And if 2042 is the "Best BF ever", 2042 would be the most played, on ANY platform. Meanwhile, I can say these things without resorting to childish profanity.

[naive ember]

That's before they turned the game around, it's a 10 now

[next fern]

By whose measurement? Yours? You've already proven your measurement don't mean squat.

DICE themselves admitted over 2 years after 2042 released, that the game was "finally" in a release-worthy state. So even they know, 2042 was nowhere up to par from the get go, and we all know... First impressions tend to matter the most.

[chilly jacinth]

Pointless arguing

[next fern]

The "Best BF ever" abandoned a lot of the things they did, because the player numbers simply weren't there. 128 players? Noone plays that. It's all 64 players now (which it should've been from the start).

[naive ember]

He's all worked up over nothing, it's hilarious 😂

[naive ember]

Really? So when Rush XL came out nobody played it???

[next fern]

Who's arguing? I'm laying out the facts. I don't sugarcoat things, or engage in extreme flattery with the devs. THEY know they messed up with 2042. Toxic here, clearly wants them to love him, which is why he's constantly praising how great the game is (and it isn't, just ask the players who... no longer play!)

[naive ember]

Nobody plays 128p is facts huh?

[chilly jacinth]

[next fern]

A temporary event game mode, doesn't really count. If Rush XL is so great, they'd make it permanent, wouldn't they?

[naive ember]

It's still 128p bud

[chilly jacinth]

They have a rotating playlist

CQ128 is still active all the time

[next fern]

It is. Because the 128p maps were completely empty, which forced DICE to remake all of the launch maps to be better suited for 64p. Again, if the game was so great... Why did they abandon 128p? 😄

[naive ember]

Rush XL and the chaos 128p actually brings back alot of 999s

You ruined yourself when you said nobody plays 128p, I'm done with ya bud

[next fern]

Imagine how much sleep I'll lose over a random Internet tough guy, being "done with me" ! 😄

[lone void]

Rush XL lobbies are always full and easy to find

I wish infantry only BT was 128 players

[next fern]

Debatable. I'll concede that some people might still play 128p rounds, but the overall map design has been reduced, to be better suited to 64p (this is fact). And that the majority of players, are on 64p modes.

[lone void]

Would be way more fun

If I play CQ it's always 128 and it's always easy enough to find games

It's harder with a squad because lobbies are actually too full

[chilly jacinth]

64p map design is piss poor on a bunch of maps

the newer ones are better for 64p

[next fern]

2042's 64p map design, I wholeheartedly agree. Newer maps are definitely better too. The redesign launch maps, are basically "lets shove a bunch of containers here, here and here" and cut off about 50% of the playable area.

In any case, 2042's maps (new and old) don't hold a candle to some of the older games maps.

In terms of things DICE abandoned with 2042...

Hazard Zone? Abandoned
Portal? Never updated

Game launched with 3 main modes, and 3 years later, only 1 remains. By this time next year, the next Battlefield will likely be upon us anyways. As I tried saying from the get-go, DICE needs to do better with the NEXT Battlefield. Cause they really dropped the ball on this one (which even they themselves admitted)

[lone void]

The specifically 64 player focused maps are better for 64 players. Who knew

[chilly jacinth]

Very strange

[lone void]

I do wish they still tried to support 128 players though

Obviously I can't see it going well on Stadium or the shitty lab map I forgot the name of

[chilly jacinth]

Redacted

[next fern]

I don't mind 128 players... if they had done it right! The map design has to support larger player numbers, having proper cover areas around capture points, multiple angles of attack etc. Part of why they were forced to revamp the launch maps, with a shit-ton of containers, was because some maps had precisely ZERO cover as an infantry player.

I could see a 1942 classic/Portal map like El Alamein, being awesome for 128 player rounds, if it's primarily done as a vehicle mode with lots of tanks/transports. Infantry sticking to the airfield areas.

In fact, Portal is one mode I wish they HAD paid more attention to, with more map remakes from the older titles. Not a single Portal map added since launch (despite what they originally promised), which in effect makes the entire mode abandoned, just like Hazard Zone.

[chilly jacinth]

They should've fully integrated portal into 2042 instead of made them separate

or just reserved it as a later release

[next fern]

This I would agree on as well. Portal should've been a collective term for "remade maps" with the option to also create your own game modes with the Portal editor. In effect, a built-in modding tool.

And Hazard Zone should've been a F2P mode/separate title.

Happy to see them adding the UH-60 next patch, but they could add so much more from Portal. Any of the vehicles or weapons that makes sense in the 2042 era. A-10 might be old by then, but they could call it an A-10E or something like that, with upgraded stats.

[near silo]

When is EA giving up on discord for 2042

[chilly jacinth]

When you leave

[naive ember]

EA never gives up, EA is King

2042 is the goat

[copper ice]

they actually nerfed irish?

[river sable]

I think you are joking right? bf2042 the best fps pc game?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[copper ice]

i cant believe my eyes

they made.. a good balance decision

Shocking

[river sable]

I think bf4/bfv and bf1 are MUCH better than bf2042, esp bfv, rly like to play bfv on hc servers but kinda boring to meet same enemies all the time, so we start playing bf2042,🤣 Morover, bf2042 I won't regard it as bf series game.

[lone void]

Like it or not 2042 does in fact exist

[severe hill]

Bfv is meh, the explosions, vehicle, and weapon variety was better, but the mechanics where just strict.

[next fern]

Careful. I recently joined the server, and unless you're stroking DICE's balls, and praise 2042 as much as possible, you won't be very well-liked around here it seems (I tend to agree with your assessment though, 2042 is far from being the best BF game)

[river sable]

totally agree with you, some map is so horrible on 128p, but hourglass, super jshit on 64 and 128p, super open field, always died by heli/ jet all the time.

[next fern]

Game is still installed on my computer, so it's not like I hate the game or the devs. I just think they could've done so much better, since they in fact... have done so much better, with past BF games.

[gaunt dew]

Honestly I’ve been having the most fun playing Control over Conquest 128 lately

[river sable]

Then I guess you don't like bf4 either XDDD it's even more strict than bfv

[naive ember]

Did it look like I was joking pal?

[river sable]

yes

[next fern]

I love Control. It should honestly replace Conquest as the main game mode for the next title.

I prefer to EARN the right to use my vehicles, rather than being forced into an arbitrary timer, which may/may not allow the vehicles to be available, when I want them.

For the really oldschool BF players around here, the older games actually spawned in new vehicles whenever you captured a new point. And it was glorious !

[gaunt dew]

Control is 24 vs 24 and doesn’t feel like there’s not enough players. They really nailed that game mode. I love fighting over a single objective at the end. Makes for some interesting gameplay

[severe hill]

Small player count modes cater to the sweats

[next fern]

Up until 2042, the "sweet spot" of most BF game servers tended to be between 32-48 players. Less, and you don't find anyone. Too many, and you get shot at from 10 different directions constantly.

[river sable]

I read some comments just now, understand what you mean haha😅 2042 is def NOT the best one, and players' shooting styles/skills are sort of different from other bf games, not sure which bf game you like the most, I rly like bfv gun's recoil and tanks and bf4's maps are pretty nice.

[gaunt dew]

BF3/4 were the best, BF1 had the best atmosphere

[next fern]

Instead of DICE trying to reinvent the wheel on the next game, they should take a hard look at the previous games, and take what worked the best from the most popular titles. And THEN if possible... improve upon them.

[gaunt dew]

BF1 just nailed that feeling you were in a war

[severe hill]

Remove tactical sprint and slide canceling

[river sable]

Oh the soundtrack of BFV is epic, they must spend so much time on it.

[next fern]

BF1 also felt the most cinematic

[gaunt dew]

BFV soundtrack was fantastic

[naive ember]

Since you guys are 2042 haters and like the other battlefields better there's the #battlefield-legacy-titles channel

[severe hill]

Miss behemoths image modern behmoths like a destroyer, thermabrlertic launchers, stealth bombers

[next fern]

The "original" BFV soundtrack was also fantastic. Battlefield Vietnam. Vietnam-era music blazing through the jungles... glorious!

[river sable]

Not hate it, why you can't accept peepo have different pov of yours?

[next fern]

Since you can't read, I did already state I don't hate 2042. I just think they could've done so much better. I won't stroke your balls, or DICE. I'm brutally honest that way.

[naive ember]

Can't read, you went completely off topic

So suggested #battlefield-legacy-titles

[severe hill]

2042 looks cartnooish including the graphics in some parts.

The tornadoes had potential but the destruction was week

[next fern]

Agreed. I have a 3060 card, 32GB of ram, all graphic settings at maximum... and BFV still looks better.

[naive ember]

Best thing to happen in battlefield

[river sable]

I always play with my dad, we have some fun time on bf2042, plus i didn't say bf2042 is bad, or i hate it, just feel a bit hilarious of you.

[next fern]

Siege of Shanghai, and the "Levolution" events of BF4 would beg to differ. We get it... you love 2042, nothing was ever better than this game etc. I'd suggest laying off the drugs, but you're probably too far gone as-is.

[naive ember]

Says the kid who thinks nobody plays 128p

[next fern]

Behemoths of BF1 also trumps 2042's tornadoes, in that they could completely change the feel of a map. Especially the blimp, crashing down anywhere on the map, changing various paths you can take, opening up new paths.

[river sable]

All we want is making bf games become better. Players could have diff voice of bf games, even I'm kid I knew how to respect others

[severe hill]

They mad cause they can't farm kills on the roofs

[naive ember]

They did it right with 2042

[next fern]

I'm not a toddler like you, emoting after every message. Besides, weren't you "done with me" ? Stop replying to me 😄

[river sable]

I love Siege of Shanghai, there's one time I almost raged out because some blew the buildings in 3 mins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[next fern]

Who are "they" ? I'm a grunt, on the ground 99% of the time. The other 1% is the few times I can actually grab a vehicle.

[severe hill]

I either take down the building or go Ukraine with the UCAV

[naive ember]

I was but yet you still wanted to spam me so replied to see you get rekt again

Done now don't worry

[next fern]

2042 destruction is so far inferior to past games, because... get this: to support 128 players, they HAD to tone down Battlefield's trademark destruction. Portal maps have far more destruction in them, because the original maps they're based on, had more destruction.

[next fern]

Curious how I'm "rekt" ? Because I disagree with you, I lost something? Still here, you are 😄

[severe hill]

When I heard about large scale destruction with 128 players, I actually thought we had the tech😔😔

The internal trailer fooled us all

[next fern]

We do. DICE showed it off in some old tech videos before 2042 was released. Maybe that was more of a tease for the next game, but they certainly have the tech for large-scale destruction. They just need to design their maps to support it.

[next fern]

As an FYI, if you don't want people to think you're a kid, maybe not reply with childish emotes all the time. What are you, 2 years old? BF2042 your first game?

[naive ember]

This guy still pinging me, it's hilarious

[next fern]

You still here? It's hilarious!

[naive ember]

Relax it's just a game bro

Go outside

[next fern]

Take your own advice, pally.

[river sable]

I doubt this is my dad's sec account, he said the same stuff to me not that long time ago, And you're also Swedish ! tjena tjena.

[next fern]

Godafton! 😄

[river sable]

what I feel is bfv has very good foundation on it, gun recoil, tanks better movement, better maps, better skins (lol although i rly don't care about skin), but bfv still misses some important elements of wwii.

[next fern]

"tanks better movement" Oh most def...! First time I played 2042 (during beta), I drove a tank and bumped into a rock... and the tank bounced around like a fart in the wind 😄

[river sable]

BF2042 it's fun to play sometimes, like you can smash peepo with dozer's shield (bf4's shield is very jshit), road killing of Hovercraft is fun to play as well, but you can't deny there's so much bugs on it.

[next fern]

As silly as it was, I sorta miss the hovercraft being able to climb up 90-degree walls... Looked silly, but it would fit the "Battlefield moments" of old.

[river sable]

I was stuck with metal cheval de frise, wtf is this?? and my tank was half dead......Why my EBLC-Ram can't drive over it lol,

https://tenor.com/view/hovercraft-water-fun-in-the-sun-gif-3497173

[ruby shard]

They gonna do any more addons / maps anything from now till next year? I know they're adding the UH 60 in but can't we start voting and getting older maps ported / weapons just a thought

[severe hill]

Older maps ain't gonna work in All out warfare anyway

[ruby shard]

I'm pretty sure if members of the EA Community Team who appear to act as a link between Players and Devs, if we gave some ideas on what we'd like to be added in for updates to keep us entertain till next battlefield. Example would be a vote on what we'd like to be thrown in considering this game is built as and arcade with portal.

[remote kiln]

definitely not lol

main content support has ended dice made that explicitly clear, the odd vehicle may be added but maps are definitely not happening

[novel zephyr]

Portal mode was the only ace in a hole this game had and they burned it for a stack of moldy go fish cards.

[sullen violet]

Ngl that was funny too see But can understand why it would be removed though. This made me think of the MAV from bf3 where you could stand on it, basically like areal elevator

[next fern]

Battlefield has had those silly things since the get-go. In 1942, you had soldiers laying on the wings of the B-17, and then air-dropping onto a capture point. Not very realistic... but funny as hell! And the hovercraft scaling the walls of Kaleidoscope, is really no more silly than being able to CALL IN a friggin tank on the rooftops of those very same buildings.

[sullen violet]

Personally though i wouldn't mind it staying, i mean, don't have to be serious all the time. Another view though is it could maybe be too much silly also. The most silly and fun thing in the entire franchise i must say is the golf carts and war on golf course

I would personally also lean more towards it being removed so you don't see hovercrafts driving up the damn building

As for tank on roof top, #onlyinbattlefield

Have the same feeling about that though, leaning more towards it not being possible but less than the hovercraft

Also, i wouldn't mind the call in system not being in the next game. I never really use it tbh. Then we probably wont see tanks on roofs anymore, but thats me, might be people loving it and using it all the time

[vocal tusk]

Remove vehicle call ins just working and having no usage criteria. Instead go back to past games systems of having to earn score/points to get call-ins. (Also being back ammo, smoke, barrage and airstike call-ins)

Could even go further, and only allow a player calll in a vehicle in an owned sector. Places more emphasis of owning the sector/flags in it to use said system

[sullen violet]

Made me think of the V1 in bf5, that thing sounded like a beast flying over the map. Pretty cool

What if they added scalar weapon from bad company 2 as a call in. Wonder how that would be, all vehicles and electronics stop working 🤔

Sounds scary too

[vocal tusk]

I mean...I want not just better maps, but better more dynamic conquest design. Scoring changes aside, the mode hasnt change a lot since its first introduction

[sullen violet]

I see 🤔

[vocal tusk]

Things like non flag/score bound areas to capture and hold, which give your team an advantage.

For example an air radar location (Gives your team air radar for better visibility in their air), ammo depot (Allows your teams squad leaders to call in ammo drops), Jamming station (Disables/jams enemy team minimaps when owned/operated).

We have had smaller things like these in past games (Like owning a flag granting extra vehicles) but IMO its something that hasn't been fleshed out or used enough

Conquest scoring just sucks in 2042 tho, but ill not go into that for the 100th time haha

[ornate anvil]

Could we have a report channel to post clips of cheaters?

[sullen violet]

Makes me think of how bf4 was for commanders, certain flags had certain abilities for commander. I guess you thinking something similar from what i understand. Sounds cool though, maybe it could work great also as actually something in the game. If you haven't and if you think it will be good, post a suggestion on https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield/ct-p/battlefield maybe the devs would find it interesting and might test something like that. There could also be potential problematic thing with this, example if there is a perk both teams really want at one capture point then most players would be there fighting for it potentially leaving other flags empty. Even though it sounds nice on paper, it should be tested of course like with most things to see if there is problems and if it works great in practice. Also to mention, in bf4 dlc map guilin peaks there was a bomber your team got as a perk for holding the flag if i remember correctly that didn't really cause much problems from what i remember. It could be considered something both teams want.

[ornate anvil]

Just encountered someone using speed hack

[spare quest]

sure

[spare quest]

just report them in the EA app and add your link to the report

they might ignore the links tho

[quiet shell]

My personal solution to that is whatever combination of capture points are held grants the commander different abilities instead of tying each capture point to a specific ability
For example if you have capture points: [A] [B] [C] [D]
Holding A and B gives the commander a UAV
Holding B and C gives the commander a mortar strike
holding C and D gives the commander a rapid deploy
Holding D and A gives the commander a vehicle call in
Holding B and D gives the commander an AC130
Holding C and A gives the commander an anti-air emplacement
etc etc etc

This can encourage the fighting on the map to stay moving and each point to have it's own value

And if balanced properly, even a capture stack can be bounced back from so long as one point is taken

[plain vessel]

alguem BR jogando pelo xcloud??

[vocal tusk]

Combining resources into stacks of flags makes it needlessly complicated

[karmic egret]

imagine when dice said that they'd add portal vehicles and the black hawk is the only one

[vocal tusk]

Even the separate commander mode fo BF4 was needlessly convoluted. Just have a commander station at home base as BF2 did

[patent pivot]

As someone that hates camp base killers

I don't think that will end well for me

[severe hill]

Dice should also give us the ability to customize and upgrade our commander role weapons. Like changing the load out of a cruise missle, mabye instead of a typical warhead it can have cluster or fragmentation.

For ac130 you switch in the loadout and do a stealth bomber or a ATCAMS or HIMARs

[spare quest]

[vital quail]

Thinking way too far ahead lol

[patent pivot]

Just bring back commander's

That's all I'm asking

[sullen violet]

Considering that, BF4 was much better, no point being able to run around map and play normal when you are commander i'd say. Then you might aswell play as infantry

[patent pivot]

And I very much prefer isolation over confrontation

[sullen violet]

You would know when someone was playing commander for commander, you would constantly hear different enemies spoted spam over radio

[sullen violet]

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield/ct-p/battlefield

I am sure its suggested 1000 times already though

[patent pivot]

[sullen violet]

Not having commander isn't really game breaking in my eyes though, but i guess it's one of those nice to have things that add to the experience. Android app was pretty neat ngl

[patent pivot]

It's beneficial to me

I need it

[spare quest]

skill issue

[severe hill]

Commander should be in map feature and not a menu or switch from playing to looking at a screen then you have to leave and join back to play as a soldier.

[vocal tusk]

Commander should just be a vehicle/object or post (Like the bombers in BF4) which when used, grants you the commander overview and tools. (Same as older games)

BF4s commander issues related to one team having a commander, but the other not. This issue stemmed from the fact that you couldn't become commander mid game, you'd have to leave to become one. It was unnecessarily convoluted.

Commander should be a dynamic role, which any soldier interacting with the commander station can take on

Its not necessary 100%. I agree. But if commander were to be done again, this is how i'd prefer ti work

[severe hill]

Speaking of bombers should they just make it a pilotable vehicle or do the container like Silk Road, Alti Range, and Dragons teeth did?

[vocal tusk]

I liked the way they did it, at least for that type of bomber in BF4. You can still have attack jets (A-10 for example) and use a bomber call-in like BF 1943/4 had tho. they are just different types of bombers

[severe hill]

I remember doing a reddit post about if attack jets like the Frog and A10 should be equipped with crusie missiles. A10 can have the JASSM missiles while the frog has Kh01

Should they do that?

[vocal tusk]

Maybe stuff like this can come in the game after the next game tho. The next game kinda feels like it needs to do a BF3 style reset of the franchise

[pine roost]

I would suggest the way squad does it, but it wouldn’t really work out in bf

[severe hill]

Mabye in the future Br that they are making apparently

[pine roost]

Since it requires a vote, which is far more beneficial and actually plausible if you are in a persistent server where you know the people in it

But in terms of how it’s accessed and what abilities they have access to for the most part

[vocal tusk]

I dont think A-10s should have V1 or Tomahawk powered weaponry.

[pine roost]

Just with changes to adhere to the pace and design of bf

[severe hill]

Do Tomahawks even equipp to anything but a destroyer?

Instead of seeing a white smoke line coming at you straight they should make it to where you can see the missile gliding towards the target, the sound que can be it's eerie whistles.

[pine roost]

Not sure what you mean

The missile existing as a physical object and not just a puff of smoke?

[spare quest]

there are no tomahawks in 2042

[severe hill]

In video games like Bf4, Delta force Hawk ops, and cod. Cruise missiles just goes straight down with a jet smoke blasting behind like a meteor. In real life Cruise missiles tend to fly horizontal and lean down a couple degrees towards it's target.

Example from this videohttps://youtube.com/shorts/ez68Z4HhCBc?si=XaZf0Spie1gXlVuv

[vocal tusk]

V1s in BFV were an object that travelled and landed on its target. Kinda the same with the event/easter egg tomahawk in 2042

[spare quest]

who cares about irl missiles

[pine roost]

Well there’s nothing bad about it, would be a nice detail

Adds a bit more weight to the action, like how gelldivers handles it

[spare quest]

gelldivers

[pine roost]

Not correcting that

[severe hill]

How should the blast radius work for these missiles.

[sullen violet]

Ahhh i see what you saying now, thanks for clarifying. Yes for sure that's quite the inconvenience tbh and should just be able too pick commander from team setup screen or where ever if there is slot

Many ways of doing it i guess, but we'll see what happens in the future anyway. We might not even see commanders again 🤷

[severe hill]

I think with some of the old devs returning we could see some good old features returning and most likely the commander

[spare quest]

[vocal tusk]

Personally, id prefer it be an object in a home base. Im not a fan of how "Easy and casual" Battlefield has become with regards how things are used.

Examples being how vehicles are spawned into/used. Past games had you spawn in base and jump in a vehicle from there. I have never liked how the last few game just magically spawn you in a vehicle, especially with jets just spawning you mid-flight

[spare quest]

facts

[vocal tusk]

Its become less grounded, more casual/basic and takes a lot of the "Magic" away from the games for me.

[sullen violet]

Don't really need old devs for that tbh

[severe hill]

How should we protect our beautiful Airfield when an enemy jet is camping the strip waiting to bomb you when you spawn in one.

[vocal tusk]

Auto AA as BF3 had

[severe hill]

I prefer the bf4 ai controlled, nobody once to waste their time in spawn sniping 2 jets that can dodge.

[spare quest]

spawnkilling RU pilots from the cnstruction site on oman was always fun

[vocal tusk]

None of this is rocket science or new features. Battlefield can go back to being great again by using learnings of the good parts of the past games

[sullen violet]

I can agree with spawning mid flight, but at same time kind of ok. Only games i can remember now that you spawned on ground with jet is bf2/3

[vocal tusk]

and 4

[sullen violet]

What map? 🤔 I got bad memory Latest matched i played spawned in air

[vocal tusk]

They started with Casualfield with BF1

Well BF4 only had it on a few maps to be fair.

[severe hill]

And 4 if you count Capsion 2014

[sullen violet]

Don't think they made ground mechanics for it if i remember correctly. Could be the same with newer games also but i haven't thought about it or tried that i can remember. Not really game breaking though

[vocal tusk]

even 2042 has ground mechanics for jets 😛

[severe hill]

I think there should be two air defense for spawn bases. An auto AA and an Iron dome like system to intercept bombs

[vocal tusk]

They are simply not used

You can land and take off no issues

[sullen violet]

Tried to land heli the other day, it didn't really have ground mechanics from what i noticed

Let me check, again i got bad memory

[severe hill]

2042 air vehicles feel so empty and floaty.

It's literally feels like a toy

[sullen violet]

2042 air vehicles is beyond arcade imo, not that good feel, specially helicopters. I'll check jet now see how it feels, i dont remember

[vocal tusk]

Its a lack of weight. Helis feel a bit better now, but still are only OK IMO

Stalling out a jet for example shouldnt just have you glide and float, but it does

[sullen violet]

I remember standing on jets was no problem, kind of nice tbh

[severe hill]

And thr ground collision is diabolical

[sullen violet]

Ehhh i still dont like them

[pine roost]

I like the thematic nature of taking off, but don’t like the risk of stuff getting blown up on the runways by enemies, if we can have the best of both worlds I’m game

[vocal tusk]

Im fine with it. If you want to defend your airfield, defend it. Its just more to do that feels like it achieves somehting other than "Getting kills and score". which is what BF has become more about in recent games

[sullen violet]

@vocal tusk jets seem to have ground mechanic

[vocal tusk]

They do, same with helis

[pine roost]

By ground mechanic do you just mean the ability to land?

[sullen violet]

Not when i tried the other day, it wouldn't stay grounded

[sullen violet]

Yes and control on groud

[vocal tusk]

Mechanically, all vehicles could work as is in maps that had home bases and vehicle spawing in them...the games design simply doesnt do it

Well actually not true, cos vehicles still cant spawn your loadouts when you get into them via a map spawn (even though thats been an option on the portal builder since launch)

[sullen violet]

Heli is just bumping on ground, can't record cause problems with mostlikley anticheat, also possible shadow play

[spare quest]

cant use nvidia replay?

[vocal tusk]

I mean they put out the wheels on helis lacking wheels or skids, can be gotten out of and have no issues with colliders. So they work as past games did

[sullen violet]

Nope

It gets blocked out

[spare quest]

not for me

[sullen violet]

🤷

Havent worked without issues since new anticheat

[severe hill]

I think there some maps that do have a reason why you can just spawn off flying.

[vocal tusk]

You probably need to update to nv app, older versiosn may be blocked

RIP...forgot that recent changes dis-allow image/video posting . Well that was a big pile of pointless joinign the game and capturing video haha

[spare quest]

huh

[vocal tusk]

Streamable link for example of what I mean: https://streamable.com/q29acd

[sullen violet]

Looks fine there tbh, are you on portal server?

Noticed a few wierd things in AI match, there the heli keeps bumping when landed like its completely weightless. In your video it seems to have some weight

[remote kiln]

you should be using the Nvidia app anyways

regardless of shadow play itself

[sullen violet]

Does the nv app have replay feature?

[remote kiln]

yes

[sullen violet]

Could be 🤷

[sullen violet]

Nice, i like instant replay

[remote kiln]

it'll be replacing Geforce experience and the control panel fully in time so best to get to use it early

[sullen violet]

Why don't they add it too the driver package and remove geforce experience?

[remote kiln]

because it's in beta currently

[sullen violet]

Ahhhh i see, i see

[remote kiln]

it will supercede both once all the settings have been migrated

[sullen violet]

So nv app basically everything in one place?

[remote kiln]

essentially yes

[sullen violet]

I see, i see

Ty for advice, i'll look into it

Both of you

[vocal tusk]

It has already essentially replaced nv share. It has all the functionality of that version and more already

[remote kiln]

it has exclusive features right now like RTX HDR which you can't use without it anyways as a bait to use it

[spare quest]

its the best i always use it

[vocal tusk]

Does nv share have AV1 recordings?

[remote kiln]

it's encoded in AV1, iirc it even supports 120fps

[sullen violet]

I just thought about back in the day when you had too use fraps, and it tanked your performance

now with nvenc basically no impact at all

[remote kiln]

can't remember if the container is in AV1 directly

[sullen violet]

So i guess i uinstall GFE to avoid conflict with screen recording?

🤔

[remote kiln]

not required

just use the installer it will replace gfe by itself

[vocal tusk]

Not requiring login to update a driver is sure nice with the nvidia app lol

[sullen violet]

You dont need to login to nvapp?

[remote kiln]

nope

[vocal tusk]

Nope

[sullen violet]

Nice, privacy at last

[remote kiln]

it's just a much slimmer better utility, it has overclocking support etc aswell

[sullen violet]

Interesting 🤔

How about the fps counter shadowplay has?

[vocal tusk]

Its still crappy auto Oc'ing tho, right?

[remote kiln]

shadow play is fully integrated

[remote kiln]

well* yes that caveat

[sullen violet]

So basically same as with GFE then? 🤔

[remote kiln]

it's not the same it's better

[sullen violet]

I'll cehck and see instead of asking questions

[vocal tusk]

It replaced MSI afterburner for me tho. Cos I can set the power limit on my 4090 in the nv app.

[sullen violet]

I use msi afterburner just to check performance

[remote kiln]

rtx hdr is a killer feature tbh just marketed very poorly

[vocal tusk]

Ill imagine once they improve it a bit more, and make it support multi-monitor it will be marketted more

[remote kiln]

yeah most likely

[reef cedar]

did they completely take away caspers drone attack?

[spare quest]

yes

[reef cedar]

oh cool
so he's pretty worthless now

[spare quest]

yep

[reef cedar]

was in my top 3

[karmic egret]

tryna unlock the peacekeeper

[reef cedar]

at least they haven't touched my Rao :')!

[weak vector]

I hated them for doing that. I liked disabling things with the drone. It wasn't even overpowered, because you had to get REALLY close and make your drone vulnerable to gunfire

Not my damn fault that players lack situational awareness, and fail to protect armor

[open axle]

guys apache duos anyone?

[reef cedar]

this this this
after the last effing nerf it was already hit pretty hard. completely taking it away is completely redundant
what was it? like 3 or 4 nerfs in a row, to?

just hoping they reverse the last 2

[weak vector]

Exactly, finally someone with a brain here. I think the duration got nerfed so they couldn't spam the disabling. If anything, if they wanted to nerf it then the range should be reduced a bit (but even that's unnecessary).
Removing the ability completely was uncalled for. No reason to use his recon drone now

[reef cedar]

actually they did give it thermals

so not in a row

[arctic grove]

yo anyone know how to decrease cpu utilisation on bf2042?

I have a ryzen 5 7600x with a rx 7800xt and play at 1440p low settings yet still stutter because of 100% load on the cpu

[chilly jacinth]

6 cores

aint much you can do

[vocal tusk]

They should have just made it be able to target and destroy/disable gadgets like spawn beacons, blasco jammers and TUGs

[pearl ridge]

Shit I’d be fine with it highlighting enemy gadgets

[tawny carbon]

4090 would like to have a talk with you

[modern thistle]

looking for squad

[next blaze]

same

[gray perch]

Same

I need

😞

[modern thistle]

pc?what game modes you play?

[haughty lichen]

Chat can I be honest

People have been and still kinda are going way too serious with reviewing 2042

It’s not the perfect game, but like it’s still pretty good than what it could’ve been, especially better than was it was.

[remote kiln]

#lfg-crossplay

[haughty lichen]

Am I wrong for that?

[remote kiln]

you cannot discount it's launch state

those reviews were made at launch and they are just as valid to today, just because the game was fixed doesn't mean earlier critique isn't valid

[naive ember]

It is perfect though

[remote kiln]

fixed, in half quotes, because it still has tons of problems

[haughty lichen]

Meh

[haughty lichen]

I didn’t, the launch state(from what I’ve heard) was a nightmare💀

[remote kiln]

it didn't function at launch but this is just the cycle of battlefield games

[haughty lichen]

True, no game will never not have problems.

[remote kiln]

those of us who've played the older titles just rolled our eyes at 2042

[haughty lichen]

True.

[remote kiln]

it was always predictable that people would say (xyz game is fun) later on

[haughty lichen]

As a fan of older titles, I can kinda agree

[remote kiln]

no not for that reason

[haughty lichen]

It’s just how it goes like you said

[remote kiln]

because the older games were just as broken at launch lol

[haughty lichen]

It’s battlefield tradition really.

But not all broken aspects are, well, bad.

[remote kiln]

of course they are

[haughty lichen]

Some bugs are just hilarious, others are horrible. It can truly be a hit or miss

[remote kiln]

I am not talking about bugs I am talking about broken game mechanics

[haughty lichen]

It’s bad in the game’s intentions and state, but it depends on your perspective

[remote kiln]

2042 is just designed badly and that will never change, it's inherit to this game for better or worse

[haughty lichen]

Ohhh!!!! Yeah I see what you mean now.

[haughty lichen]

True.

[remote kiln]

I have grown to despise the battlefield playerbase over the years tbh because of the blind fanboyism they have for a particular title and they're perfectly fine to whitewash broken launches when it's happened so many times just becomes mundane eventually

[haughty lichen]

Tbh, 2042 is pretty far from a good way to end of a big series like Battlefield.

[haughty lichen]

IKR???

But then again I have been what I have despised. Not just with Battlefield.

[remote kiln]

?

[haughty lichen]

Nvm

Anyway ima hop off discord

Cya

[storm elbow]

Any new game mode+ where people are good in revive each other

[naive ember]

BT

[storm elbow]

Bt?

[arctic grove]

Breakthrough

[storm elbow]

There are no new updates regarding battlefield 2042, seasons right. Its over and out

[thorny gale]

A quick update that brings in server browse would be nice before they abandon the game lol

[storm elbow]

Ok

[severe hill]

Sadly that won't happen anytime soon, the next Battlefield definitely

[fringe spire]

my teammate is frequently unable to see my pings ...

any tips

[sudden tapir]

when is frontlines back

[vocal tusk]

There is no fix. It happens to everyone. You'll not be able to see the pings, but you can hear them.

[fringe spire]

Pain.

[vocal tusk]

Yup, it's one thing I really wish they fixed. Super annoying to hear ping from randoms, but not see them. Then said randoms will furiously ping cos it seems like you're not reacting to their danger pings. 😅

[vale barn]

hello battlefield

[arctic grove]

been playing since bc2, incorrect. it has my favorite gameplay out of all of them.

[remote kiln]

i meant at release, it wasnt a statement intended in the context of right now

[arctic grove]

oh, release was a shitshow. and i'm just realizing now my screen was stuck scrolled up

so I'm going to back to "mind my own business" land

[remote kiln]

[naive ember]

Yes please

[steady burrow]

Who’s idea was it to not add a campaign

[tacit crown]

Hopefully this Tuesday

[mellow wave]

yo what's currently the broken weapon?

m5a3 has a lot of recoil atm

[still vault]

Lots of people want a campaign, lots of people would rather they spend the time on the multiplayer instead. No matter what they do, they will get versions of that question.

[stone cradle]

if we got a campaign then the MP would somehow be even more barebones and horrendous on launch

[still vault]

[stone cradle]

our campaign 'replacement' was meant to be hazard zone

But that is a snoozefest of a mode so I don't blame them essentially abandoning it the second they planned out post-launch content for the game

[patent pivot]

I just want regular multiplayer, but only bots

[last willow]

Here's an idea, just play the game

[stone cradle]

co-op/solo and portal exists

[patent pivot]

they are not good

[stone cradle]

but there's xp and progression cap

[patent pivot]

options are very limited

[stone cradle]

You'll never get full xp only bots MP, people would just abuse that unless they make near-human like AI that's as good and unpredictable as them

[patent pivot]

cod bo1 may be the only game I know of that was close to the experience

training mode allowed separate, full rank system

of course, having a mod to enhance it is much needed

[steady burrow]

Then make the multiplayer better

[stone cradle]

do you have a time machine bro?

Wish we could've told them that back then

[vital quail]

Never will understand the appeal to play against bots

Boring as fuck

[tawny carbon]

Same here

[tawny carbon]

They wouldn’t listen anyways

[stone cradle]

I mean, it is a time machine.

we can bring back hard evidence of it being a bad idea

"steamdb, wtf is that" they'd probably say

[sullen violet]

I will be honest, i really loved that they added that. Made me think of another thing, sadly in 2042 it's completely impossible to play against friends no matter online or vs ai. Tried like 30 minutes before joining my friends match but always was put on his team

If you look at it from another angle it's actually a good way to practice and learn the game playing against ai. Specially if you new to shooters, its more chill also and relaxed

[tawny carbon]

Prob straight up ignore us instead for a year or so then implement ideas

[tawny carbon]

Especially*

[sullen violet]

You know what i mean

Having some place where people can practice against bots doesn't really bother me. What bothers me is actual matches/lobbies being split so there ends up being half full teams of bots

[mental delta]

D!ck

[vital quail]

The number 1 thing that kills my mood to play 2042 is joining a match and seeing [AI] next to 32 names

[mental delta]

Would be cool

[sullen violet]

@mental delta Try and keep your commentary friendly

[mental delta]

Soon as been up for 2 years now

I need something or I'll start getting political

[sullen violet]

Patience

[mental delta]

Yeah sorry it wasn't cool

I won't do it again

[sullen violet]

It's ok, thanks!

[mental delta]

Just because you asked me Klikard

[sullen violet]

[mental delta]

I want to know if they'll make specialists again or not

I hope not

I hope operators won't be thing either

[sullen violet]

Yeah i can undestand that tbh, you want to play multiplayer for multiplayer

[mental delta]

Would be cool to just go back to random dudes with some customization options

[sullen violet]

Personally i would agree, just classes without perks the operators had. I do think it also was somewhat good. Operators i guess is a side effect of the specialist system, so understandable it's that way

[vocal tusk]

Im fine with perks, as long as they arent crazy outrageous. (Like we had in BF3/4)

[sullen violet]

Could just add the perks as gadgets to certain classes if you ask me, as its mostly what it is

[mental delta]

I disliked specialists for both how they looked and what they implied in terms of gameplay, BF is better without special perks imo and playing special characters instead of just randoms is a bit cringe tbh

[mental delta]

Only passive perks are acceptable imo

Like no special gadgets or things like this

[vocal tusk]

Well "Passive" perks in past games werent very passive haha

[sullen violet]

Meant perks as in example the grapling hook and such. Actual perks in BF4 wasn't too bad, don't think bf3 had those 🤔

[vocal tusk]

Like extra grenades, extra ammo, faster sprint

[mental delta]

I know I was referring to BF2042, I'd accept to see it in BF6 but only for the passive ones like explosive damages reduction or things like this

[vocal tusk]

But yeah, put specialist gadgets right in the bin

[sullen violet]

Specialists was really amazing though giving you freedom, but most would want classes for more team play focus. Specialist basically made you kind of a solo player

[sullen violet]

Was fine in my opinion at least

[sullen violet]

Yep could just have been gadgets of classes it fits

[mental delta]

That's everything I disliked lol I felt like at launch game was just some random FPS game with large teams but no teamplay

[vocal tusk]

id be fine with them keeping things like wingsuits, but IMO if its kept a player should have to choose between wingsuit and parachute. Wingsuit users should also not be able to slam into the ground at 80 KPH and live hah

[mental delta]

I think it's just better to have classes with specific roles but no specific gadgets

[mental delta]

Yeah strangely wingsuits are ok but it would need to be made agin from scratch to be playable

[vocal tusk]

How it was at launch was fine, but they nerfed ground land damage to appease the babies who wouldnt learn to use them properly

[sullen violet]

Can fully understand, i guess this should have been tested better. Also DICE wasn't very easy in how they asked for feedback in the game, they kind of shot them selves in the foot and probably why it took a while for classes too re appear

[vocal tusk]

No ranger or auto turrets in next game also please!

[sullen violet]

Yeah it's fine tbh. Think it was really cool hearing some wigsuit person flyby at high speed. I do think the spiderman grapling hook is taking it a bit too far though

[vocal tusk]

Grapple hook ruins intended level design, it can also go in the bin 😄

[sullen violet]

I probably wouldn't even notice as i don't even use the call in menu often

[mental delta]

Yup feedbacks have been taken into account a bit lately or at least they made the asked changes really late

[sullen violet]

[mental delta]

I just hope next game turns out better at launch and we get to have the classic BF feeling of a total conflict with huge ressources on both sides

[sullen violet]

Best place i know of you can leave feedback and suggestions is https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield/ct-p/battlefield so i suggest doing that

[mental delta]

Auto turret is a lazy gadget if you ask me it's a COD thing

[vocal tusk]

Gadgets that are actually great are turret emplacements, like Crawfords Vulcan. Stuff that is useful, and also can be used in team/squad play...but isnt overly broken or game breaking
(Balance wise)

[mental delta]

I completed most of their surveys and I guess it's too late for feedbacks anyway as next game is only 1 year away

[sullen violet]

We'll see, i am confident they doing their fullest this time considering backlash. But personally i am a bit skeptical if more effort will do any good but again we will see

[mental delta]

Me too on one hand I'm like "they can't mess up with all feedbacks they got and how angry people were at BF2042 launch" but on the other hand I'm like "it's Dice so they could just try to fit in the trend again and make specialists a second time or go too cringe with skins and BR mode"

[merry heart]

I have to kind of disagree with this. Since I've played grapple before in older games (quake 1 capture the flag), it makes traversing the map more open ended rather than being funneled in, if the map is free of bugs and oversights.

But I can see where an older Battlefield player like yourself is coming from. I understand that DICE doesn't test their maps thoroughly.

[vocal tusk]

My hope is that that they wouldnt have reverted 99% of the terrible mistakes of 2042s launch...only to make them again in the next game. But for now this is pure Hopium on my side

[sullen violet]

Dice wasn't very transparent either if they wanted feedback or not from my experience. It was soo bad they even said they wasnt looking for feedback but wanted it anyway. I would say it's not easy to give good feedback for everyone if they dont approach from testing side

[vocal tusk]

"it makes traversing the map more open ended rather than being funneled in, if the map is free of bugs and oversights."

This is exactly why is shouldnt exist

Map traversal in games like BF should not work like it does in Quake

[merry heart]

I disagree. I dislike maps being too linear.

[mental delta]

Yeah apparently not many people had the opportunity to playtest updates which kinda says it all in terms of "what we want to know about our community and what they really want"

[sullen violet]

I am impressed how they manage to go through the feedback and actually manage to improve the game for the better. I mean, just imagine how many people have feedback. Well, it's easier when most say the same ofc. They also have to consider the feedback on top of that

[vocal tusk]

There is a different between a map being linear, a map having specific pathing and expected sightlines, then whatever the fuck they did when they added Mackay and grapple hooks to this game

Imagine the state of BF3 for example, on a map like Noshahr canals or Seine Crossing, if one of the classes had access to a grapple hook. Which allows them access to locations other soldiers cant get to either easily, or in most cases at all

[mental delta]

Yeah sure but I guess some of the said feedbacks don't come from a single person after reading a single feedback, many of the changes which arrived in BF2042 came from the fact many people sided together on social medias such as Reddit or Discord to ask for general and I'd even say "obvious" changes everyone wanted such as Vault guns or classes for example

[mental delta]

I just hope BF6 got a Seine Crossing remake but we know too damn well it won't 🥲

[vocal tusk]

Same for BF4 maps like Siege of shanghai, Pearl Market, Floodzone (Probably another 10 easy examples could be taken from BF4 alone)...imagine how much worse the addition of a grapple hook would have made those maps and their gameplay flow

[merry heart]

Specific pathing is still linear though when it boils down to it. I'll have to say you have to think outside the box of where Mackay is coming from. And if you still disagree with that, which I'm pretty sure you will, then I don't know what to say to that because it's better than grapple hooks being spammable where I came from.

[vocal tusk]

and even outside of using past/current maps as examples of why it sucks for gameplay and map design balance...it just makes designing a map so much more limiting for a map designer.

[sullen violet]

Ngl talking about grappling hook, my biggest issue is its so fast and like spiderman

How it worked in the old days was slow, also more realistic for that matter

[patent pivot]

And you wonder how the game used to be in the first place

[vocal tusk]

My issue is from my thinking as a game designer, and then as a player having to worry about players shooting at me from un-expected angles.

[patent pivot]

[merry heart]

I came from quake 1 capture the flag where grapple hooks had no cooldown. You can imagine the Spider-Man shit going on.

[sullen violet]

[merry heart]

Mackay's grapple is really really tame IMO.

[patent pivot]

Fuck 2042 grappling

Hardline hook did it better

[merry heart]

From what I can see. I think DICE map designers didn't take to account the grapple hook when it came to map design.

Which is why I see people's frustrations

[vocal tusk]

they stopped caring about it...or couldnt spend a lot of time caring about it...cos they nerfed its range so hard

Like at launch you could scale extreme heights with it. You could climb from the ground to the deck of the ship on Discarded, completely bypassing the expected traversal lines set by the ziplines on that map.

Im not a grapple hater, I just dont think it belongs in a game like BF...at least not as it was at launch, or as it is now.

[merry heart]

Yeah I remember that. And that Bunny hopping shit that you could do with it.

[vocal tusk]

You can still do it 😄

Just not travel 700m with it as you could before 😄

[merry heart]

Kinda but not as long as it was before when I tried it a few months back.

Yeah

[vocal tusk]

A lot of stuff in BF 2042 at launch can be summed up by this gif

https://tenor.com/view/jurassic-park-ian-malcolm-jeff-goldblum-should-could-gif-16617300

RIP image perms lol. Forgot about that one

[sullen violet]

https://tenor.com/view/jurassic-park-ian-malcolm-jeff-goldblum-should-could-gif-16617300

[merry heart]

[vocal tusk]

Game design and aesthetic aside, what the next game especially needs is a packed content roadmap, with regular, to semi-regular releases.

The bulk of the content being mainly new maps and weapons.

I dont think premium levels of content and DLCs will return, but we need more than one new map every 3/4 months 😄

[sullen violet]

What the game really needs is being fun and have great gameplay

How i read what you saying is like if its not that great game can make it work with extra content if you see how i saw that

I will not deny though, content always good

[vocal tusk]

If 2042 released as it is now, I think it would have done well and not been all that hated.

Minus hazard zone existing as a thing.

[tawny carbon]

Idk about that

How the leadership didn’t want certain things in the game, that community didn’t like. It will be hated still

[vocal tusk]

That leadership is long gone

[tawny carbon]

It will be in a better state, yes. But how they perceived the game meh, not really

[tawny carbon]

Now

[vocal tusk]

I have no illusions that the people working on this game at launch knew precisely its state, and how it was going to be received.

[tawny carbon]

The leadership for 2042 devs is still meh, even if the game did drop today and not couple years ago. Due to not giving the devs creative freedom unlike past games

[vocal tusk]

Creative freedom is not inherintly a good thing

Past games worked well, because of effective processes, teamwork AND leadership. My glimpses into past games development come from chats with past team members on the dev, art and QA side.

Bf1 for example had a very effective set of QA team documentation written for the carrying out of test cases for every new addition to the game, be it a weapon, vehicle, gadget or interactible.

[tawny carbon]

True true

QA means a lot

[mental delta]

L + ratio + fake news + nobody cares + you're a digital slave + where new BF + we all want new BF

[frozen loom]

Plus + Ultra.

[young panther]

give me new battlefield this game is old now i want new game

i am willing to spend $100 to preorder

[frozen loom]

$200 or no deal.

[dapper river]

what's wrong with the boyfriend you have now?

[echo yew]

14 months remain.

[noble yarrow]

Does anyone know how to get PS5 controller working on PC some reason I can't use DS4 windows and it didn't even work before hand anyways

[severe hill]

When will Tom Henderson leak us? Battlefield right now is getting stale fast.

[amber kelp]

Already did

[severe hill]

Yeah like a few months back

[amber kelp]

games not till like 2025 so doubt we're seeing much more than that for a while

[vital quail]

Full 128 lobby ends and the outcome of being first to leave the end of match screen is being put into a 12/128 lobby that doesn't get filled while most people that were in the previous match get put together

Makes sense

[potent trench]

did you turn on the DualSense option for DS4W?

and did you get the program from the github, and not shayd website?

[tulip grove]

What are y'alls thoughts on aircraft indirectly contributing to pfto? My friends and I have been trying to master close air support.

[pearl ridge]

As long as they’re not spawn camping or otherwise being unfair

Ugh fucking night birds

It’s always the same guy coming back

[jagged wyvern]

Fuck nightbirds, all me and my homies hate nightbirds 🗣

[pearl ridge]

Probably the most annoying thing about Lis is the fact that because she occupies the anti-air meta for engineers, SOFLAM marking can be rather unreliable

Because Lis can’t lock onto them

So I could have a particularly annoying chopper lit up like a Christmas tree and nobody can hit it because they’re all playing Lis and failing all their shots

I swear to god SOFLAMing is the most thankless job in this entire game. You don’t even get good score for it

[naive ember]

Oceania dudes always complaining

[young panther]

nuh uh

[pearl ridge]

I’d like to see you survive in this environment

[tawny carbon]

I wonder if they know da ways

[pearl ridge]

OCE is the frigging crucible of online FPS gaming

We have way too many top-level players for our population

[young panther]

small population

[naive ember]

You clearly haven't faced our sweats

[pearl ridge]

You haven’t faced ours

[naive ember]

[tawny carbon]

NA is brutal at times especially during the peak

[young panther]

you havent faced me 🐶 👹

[tawny carbon]

I played on OCE. Ain’t that bad tbh, NA is far worse

[mental delta]

He found out he wasn't gay so...

[mental delta]

Not only it's old but it's bad

[fringe spire]

the vast majority of engineers I see are not Lis

crawford and boris everywhere

30+ engineers in conq128 still can't shoot down aircraft

[pearl ridge]

I swear to god most Boris players just throw down a sentry and otherwise act like regular assaults

[fringe spire]

I think most people who play engineers don't even think much about taking down vehicles at all

they just like the idea of having a rocket launcher

[pearl ridge]

Even though rockets are really crap against infantry in this one

[fringe spire]

is half my team is made of engineers and we struggle to take down vehicles

they're definitely not doing their class role

[fringe spire]

yeah

in my experience team comp is like

30+ engineers, mostly craw and boris

10+ assault, mostly mckay and sundance

<8 medics

and the rest is just a bunch of blascos and caspers

with the occasional roa in vehicle

[mental delta]

Roa ?

[fringe spire]

Rao* oops

[mental delta]

Rao was cool before they patched him

He used to disable vehicles armament

[fringe spire]

Yeah and now he pretty much does kinda nothing

[tulip grove]

Soflam is only worth it if your trying to go anti air with friends.

[spare quest]

true

[tulip grove]

Otherwise we just get 3 Crawfords with rpgs, a jeep, and an angel.

[spare quest]

i think he's still pretty good, pilots still hate me when i use him

[tulip grove]

Flank tanks with a synchronized launch and they're instantly dead.

[tulip grove]

As a pilot he's annoying at best.

[mental delta]

But what does he do now ?

[spare quest]

The hack triggers all damage states on vehicles, so they burn and become very slow

[pearl ridge]

Yeah, tanks get absolutely crippled by it

Helicopters, not so much

Hacking a jet is hard because if your cursor strays off them for even a millisecond you lose all your progress, but I did manage to cause one to crash today by hacking him while he was trying to pull out of a dive

[spare quest]

Helis also crash when the hack activates at the right moment

[next onyx]

I got hit by a random NTW while getting my ST choppers done and crashed into a crane because they hit my elevation.

WOn't lie.

It made me laugh.

[chilly lichen]

any tips for gettng good at 2042? particularly in regards to aim. i have 150hrs but still kinda suck

my k/d is always like 20/20 on a 32v32 match

[pearl ridge]

Positioning matters more than aim

It's all about angles of approach

Getting them from an unexpected direction gives you more time to get on target

[chilly lichen]

so i should always like run around the map adn flank?

[pearl ridge]

It's less about zooming around and more about knowing where the enemy is likely to be and where they're likely to not be looking

Situational awareness is another big part of it. Just listening for their footsteps can really help in some environments, as enemy footsteps are tuned to be louder than those of friendlies

[chilly lichen]

i dont really hear footsteps cause of everthing going on

[solemn panther]

Hi

[pearl ridge]

It mostly helps in cases where there's one or two guys contesting a point and you're trying to defend it alone

When it comes to aim, you could always play with sensitivity settings and see if you can achieve a balance of speed and precision

[chilly lichen]

i strugglerw ith horizontal recoil

also footsteps are basically impossible to hear over gunshots, explosions etc

[pearl ridge]

That can be mitigated in two ways: attachments, and fire control.

You have to get a feel for how quickly you can fire without losing precision.

[spare quest]

increase your fov to decrease recoil

[chilly lichen]

@pearl ridge I want to be a sweaty pvp chad who gets constant kills, play 10hrs a day and everyone rages at you in chat

is my goal

[pine roost]

Some weapons have a tendency to favour the left or right side regarding horizontal recoil, so you can roughly guesstimate where the sight will jump to, but it’s ultimately just a matter of reacting to where it jumps and recentering it since it can’t be learnt outright

[pearl ridge]

Horizontal recoil is the game's way of saying "Slow down bro"

The closer you are, the less the recoil matters because the enemy presents a larger target

[vocal tusk]

Find the right weapon and class that suits you is also a lot of the work.

Also dont over extend when it comes to engaging other players or vehicles. Just because you see a player either in person or the minimap, doesn't mean you need to move to fight them. Sometimes holding a corner or piece of cover, especially on an objective is better than leaving it to chase a kill.

[chilly lichen]

im kinda stuck at 1kd

always been

[vocal tusk]

Nothing wrong with a 1kd tbh. As long as you're enjoying yourself. I get more enjoyment out of having more caps, revives or vehicle destroys than having a good KD in most games.

[chilly lichen]

i want to destroy other players make them mad and dominate

[pine roost]

There are a fair few good resources you can find that cover general fps principles and positioning fundamentals that can give you the upper hand

Stuff like recoil is just about learning the game’s systems and figuring out the way its meant to be countered through trial and error

[chilly lichen]

how many hours to become pvp chad?

[pine roost]

Few hundred

[naive ember]

2042 hours

[pine roost]

Just focus on the next step to get better rather than the end goal

[chilly lichen]

how dont u get bored of the game by then?

[pine roost]

Because the games offer enough variation in each match to be a constant test of understanding and game knowledge, I’m constantly learning new things and yearning to get to viscose or nickel levels, so that drives me onwards

As you understand more you start to gain more control over the situation, and the feeling of your actions having a tangible effect on the match is ever so satisfying

[chilly lichen]

how doI do that?

[pine roost]

Look up some positioning and game sense guides, watch commentaries from good players to understand the fundamentals

Watch streamers and pause it every now and then, imagine what you’d do in the situation then watch how they play it out

Then assess your own death replays by sending it to others to analyse or comparing your solution to a given problem to what a higher level player would do

[chilly lichen]

i watched some of enders guides before

[pine roost]

It’s just a constant loop of learning a new concept, seeing how high level players use that concept, see where you are going wrong then change it

[mental delta]

Still useful for aerial vehicles I guess but it didn't seem to work well on ground vehicles

[pine roost]

That’s a good start, they cover a lot of good fundamentals. Now go and watch back your mistakes in game and focus on what he taught, spot moments where you made a mistake and force yourself to make the correction in your gameplay

[chilly lichen]

im kinda too lazy to do this

it seems boring

[pine roost]

This is the only way you’ll get better

There are no shortcuts

[chilly lichen]

how do i replay my deaths

[pine roost]

Use something like nvidia shadowplay

[chilly lichen]

@pine roost are you pvp chad?

how many hours?

[vocal tusk]

Honestly I wouldn't take it this seriously. A KD of 1 is better than probably 80% of the playerbase

[chilly lichen]

whenever u try to cap an objective there is always one cockroach just hiding in a corner on or on the roof camping there forever and its impossible to find him

[hearty kiln]

Honestly having a good squad that comms is going to get you further than anything else in most any pvp game. Try and send friend requests to teammates you do well with, I've gotten a few good chopper gunners that way. They're almost always on PC though so that's a good starting point 😅

^

[tawny carbon]

Sensor nades helps

Tugs

[chilly lichen]

u pvp chad?

[naive ember]

At the end when I was 2nd with 10-3 I was a bit jealous that the 1st guy on the team went 38-0, why didn't he die? What if? I'm supposed to be #1 not him

[vocal tusk]

Maybe Paik is the character for you then. 😊

[tawny carbon]

I just play the game for fun

Just play the game and learn

[pine roost]

Honestly yeah lol

[pine roost]

That’s why you develop a routine for checking corners and managing your exposure across objectives

[chilly lichen]

how many hrs?

[zealous loom]

[tawny carbon]

400

[naive ember]

Need high KD, don't play for fun play with rage!

[tawny carbon]

Fun is better

[naive ember]

Fun is overrated

[chilly lichen]

low

[tawny carbon]

I play multiple games at once

[naive ember]

That and live sports

[noble yarrow]

I'm not sure if I did that and I got the program from DS4 windows themselves not from Github

[fringe spire]

the su57 is so hard to maneuver

compared to the f35

do people play it as aa or anti ground ?

[tidal garnet]

I'm looking for friends to play BT2042

[pearl ridge]

Heard the weirdest noise behind me on Kaleidoscope A2 and when I turned around there was a perfectly intact SU-57 sitting there

Somehow propped up in such a way that when I decided to nick it, it used that concrete dome thing as a ramp and had a flawless takeoff

[severe hill]

A2 is the skyscraper what concrete dome?

[pearl ridge]

As usual the damn thing didn’t even have repair unlocked

64p

Because every damn abandoned vehicle I find has nothing unlocked

[vital quail]

9/10 abandoned tanks have the mpat shell and the tank skin with the netting on the barrel that looks ugly af

[pearl ridge]

At least the MPAT shell is actually useful

Lacking basic countermeasures is a lot more problematic.

Locking basic functionality behind progression was stupid in 3 and it’s stupid now

[hearty kiln]

Tbh I'm fine with it in 2042 since you're kinda supposed to unlock stuff in bots anyway from efficiency standpoint

[ionic gale]

That is a shit system, because to unlock stuff you have to spend more hours than the average player will ever accumulate in this game

the average player has 100 vehicle kills total

this unlocks precisely nothing

[pine roost]

Unlocks should be sidegrades not upgrades, locking countermeasures is stupid

[ionic gale]

I think the HE, APS and Thermal, which are the correct Tank loadout sits between 80-100

[pine roost]

If you want people to want to learn vehicles then you can’t make them inferior off that bat

[ionic gale]

this is before we get into unlocking stuff for your gunners, where the mortar, again the correct loadout, requires above 300 kills, and hence is far beyond what even dedicated players will reach

this, in short, is a huge issue and why people believe that vehicles are weak in this game, which they actually are not at all

[hearty kiln]

Flares aren't locked though it's just the repair systems they lock

[ionic gale]

which still means basic functionality is locked

[hearty kiln]

I feel like farming the bots gives you a basic feel for stuff without being a detriment to your team in game by learning on the fly. When you have a controlled environment to start, it helps when you get to live games

[hearty kiln]

They're helpful but not necessary and usually are one of the first unlocks

[ionic gale]

the repair system can make a huge differences as it will increase the rockets needed to kill by one

optimally none of that crap should be locked at all, so you do not have people driving around with vehicles that are between slightly inconvenienced or absolutely incapable of dealing with the things thrown at them

[hearty kiln]

The one vehicle type I will agree with you on is stealth helis, I'm pretty sure the flares are locked. You have to choose between those and repair systems though so you don't get repair systems on em unless you know how to go in and out of stealth really well

I'm excited for the "new" chopper tomorrow transport choppers are fun and I can play breakthrough again 😁

[severe hill]

Since its replacing the two op gunshipin breakthrough, they should add at least 3 or 4 as the vehicle count for transport to AOW.

To give it an actual invasion vibe

[vital quail]

4 helicopters? Lol

[severe hill]

Transport heli

[hearty kiln]

It'd be unbalanced but fun lol

[severe hill]

How it's just the mini guns gotta worry about.

And you know everybody be running Iron dome Air defense when something not a bird is flying

[desert goblet]

What time is the uh 60 releasing ?

[severe hill]

Early in the morning so wake up little boy

[desert goblet]

Bro what

I ain’t even going to sleep I’m waiting

[vocal tusk]

About 12-14 hours time from now

[plush silo]

Hi guys, probably a dumb question, but where do we find the settings for the keybindings to fly the Pondhawk scooter? Whenever I try to fly the thing, I can't manage to fly it properly because I think the default bindings are set to qwerty, and I'm on azerty, so I keep crashing.

[remote kiln]

it doesnt have its own (separate) bindings, it uses the aircraft control ones aka pilot

[plush silo]

Oh, okay. gonna try to change the settings there. Thank u!

[remote kiln]

np

[hearty kiln]

Oh I thought it had a front gunner seat like the other 2. Either way I'll be flying lol just hoping for some ppl who are good shots

[potent trench]

becareful because DS4W doesnt have a website, only github
ive seen so many people get "phised" by fake DS4W

but yes, if you just downloaded and installed DS4W, you need to turn on dualsense support

[smoky sigil]

hi guys, could somebody please help; I cannot equip a magazine on my gun, it says unlocked by mastery 12, and I am mastery 12 on that gun and have the 360/360 kills for the attachment, I have relaunched my game as well and that has not fixed it. Not sure why it's still locked

[gray perch]

Maybe restart ur pc?

[smoky sigil]

will try now, thanks for suggestion

[gray perch]

[smoky sigil]

aaaaand its still fkd

[modest ivy]

Try unlocking the next thing if there is one. Otherwise go for the next mastery. Might fix it?

[smoky sigil]

ahhh I see what's happened, since I reset my PC, the mastery is not bugged anymore, before it was saying mastery 12 360/360 kills now it's saying mastery 12 0/30 kills. Weird, time to get some kills!

[modest ivy]

I'm not 100 percent sure it'll work, but it might

[smoky sigil]

will report back!

I can't find a single server that doesn't have limited mastery, how the hell am I supposed to progress any weapons past mastery 12?!

[pine roost]

actual matches

[pearl ridge]

Wait why the hell are we bringing in lore from Firestorm

[smoky sigil]

wdym? as in you just click conquest or rush from the main menu? It always puts me in a 1-2/128 player lobby waiting screen for minutes (or hours) without finding a game

[pine roost]

Ah, yeah you can't change region so that's a bit of an issue. Sure you've turned crossplay on?

I know someone in a similar situation where they can't play at all due to playercounts in their region, in that case you'll just have to keep searching through servers

[smoky sigil]

Yeah crossplay is on. Playing in Australia, decently amount of players each night on the portal servers, never been more than 2 players in the "regular" queue the dozen times I've tried

[gray perch]

Im glad i play on eu servers

[smoky sigil]

welp, I just searched for a conquest 64 and loaded in to a almost fully populated server, I stand corrected, my bad

maybe it was because every other time I tried conquest 128? not sure

[pearl ridge]

The problem is that if a server is full, you can’t simply queue into it

[smoky sigil]

ahhh right that makes sense

explains a lot tbf

[pearl ridge]

And because we don’t have the population to support more than a couple of servers at a time, if they’re all full, you’re not going anywhere

[smoky sigil]

riight okay copy

sucks, because the game is actually very good imo

just wish the matchmaking was more clear/better

[pearl ridge]

An actual server browser is the one thing the devs openly ruled out

Why? Fucked if I know.

[smoky sigil]

christ

shooting themselves in the foot

[pine roost]

some people literally can't play because there's no browser for official servers

as far as we know, they spool up new servers to accomodate players rather than keeping them open like they used to, but it just leads to more frustration

[smoky sigil]

this is fucked ngl

[pine roost]

at the very least grant people the option to switch regions

region selection, map filters and ease of use is why the browser exists

yet it's only for portal which is nightmarish anyways

[naive ember]

Nah man

NA only

[hazy viper]

A 30+ GB patch?

[pearl ridge]

What do you know, a few black hawks are absolutely not an adequate replacement for actual armour or attack aircraft in breakthrough

Total waste of time

Jesus I’m never going to find a fucking populated server in an actually good mode

[dusk hedge]

Is the game still worth it? I was S050 on PlayStation now I’m on pc

[naive ember]

It's worth full price

There's a map now called Stadium it's awesome

[dusk hedge]

Full price never xd

But real talk. Still many lobby’s and funny?

[smoky sigil]

many lobbies no, funny yes

Lis OP

[chilly lichen]

how do i unlock the uh60?

[dense stirrup]

Is lis rocket better than the other rocket launchers? It felt underwhelming when I used it. Tho I haven't used any other rocket launchers...

[still vault]

Not better, but it's very versatile to have both a rocket and mines. Also, the rocket works on annoying snipers 😄

[eager stirrup]

someone want to play?

im new.

[sullen violet]

Should check out the LFG channels

#lfg-pc since it seems you on pc 😉

[chilly jacinth]

Game is crossplay though

[ivory mauve]

I wish they gave portal weapons the black and red mastery skin. lol

[chilly jacinth]

Been asking for that since they added the first portal weapons

[ivory mauve]

Yup, it’s annoying lol all the others guns have it. lol even the AK5C has it, I know it ain’t a portal weapon but hell it’s from BF4

[amber kelp]

the main reason is that the portal weapons are minimun viable products. They werent added because they add much to the gameplay, often they fill the role of existing weapons. They were added because the game was severely starved for content and needed new guns quickly

so the only things they were going to do for the portal guns was what was absolutely necessary to have them playable in AoW

Did they just completely remove the other transport choppers though? Don't see them in either conquest mode or in breakthrough

[misty marsh]

but they can still deploy flares

and stuff right

[vocal tusk]

Yes, but a hack can disable things like APS, and be repeated very fast.

Hey man, I'm from Aus too. You'll pretty much only get matches in Conquest 64, not 128. And even with that, they're not up 24/7.

[severe hill]

Breakthrough needs to be scrapped and either Operations or an Incursion mode should take it place.

[jagged wyvern]

Try portal, you'll find alot of matches of vanilla, at peak times try CQ 64, if you wanna progress T1, but don't wanna wait till peak times, try the featured modes in the portal tab, some of them don't have a minimum player count to start, like all out superiority

.

Also, I have a genuine question, is there anything that the black hawk brings to the table to make up for loss of a 50 MM gun up front? Compared to the other transport helicopters?

Also if more portal items are in the menu for all out warfare, it'd be cool to see what happens, the Bradley, A10, or even stuff like the M1 Garand or Kar98

Anything 4x and under doesn't have scope glint does it? Or does the 4x start the glint?

[fringe spire]

anyone else get that bug where you spawn as another class than what you had previously selected

like I would play as support, spawn, and I spawn as recon, even though I didnt change my selection at all

[vocal tusk]

I thought it was 5x and under. but that may not be accurate

[alpine orbit]

I thought so too but I'm using the M60 and was getting shot while behind cover before I could even shoot with a 4x

[vocal tusk]

Perhaps it was changed to 4x and below then. I rarely use anothering other than 1x or 2.5x TBH
