battlefield-2042

[remote kiln]

nope it's fine

just rage baiting

[sullen violet]

Fair enough

[topaz field]

omg i sniped a heli pilot out the blackhawk with lis missle lmao

[sullen violet]

gg

[topaz field]

ty!

[trim nexus]

why do people hate crossplay

I dont get it

[remote kiln]

cause stupid people exist

but that's not the takeaway you should be getting from that screenshot

[trim nexus]

idk

devs were buttering up the comments before 2042 launched

Ill make my judgments when the actual CTE drops

[vale basin]

Anyone to play

And chill

[tame crow]

i kick console players out of my squad

[chilly turret]

Ill hop on

[trim nexus]

you know you can just turn off crossplay right

save yourself the finger muscles

[tame crow]

no i dont want to turn it off. i just keep them out of my squad as they are usually useless.

[tame crow]

especially when i see the playstation logo. just personal experience in OCE.

i give consolers a chance but they usually kicked out of me squad as they are off playing their own low leaderboard losing game

[chilly turret]

anyone want to play a few games?

[orchid tusk]

what i miss the most is digging trenches. I swear i just love bfV building. im dead serious. was always something to do even when the chips were down, you could get bombed whilst stacking sandbags or something. i really wish they'd bring it back.

[tawny carbon]

https://insider-gaming.com/exclusive-new-details-on-the-next-battlefield-game/

[tawny carbon]

i hope we get levo back

bf4 levo is the best

[trim nexus]

just have better dynamic destruction

levolution was only good for literally 1-2 maps

[tawny carbon]

they can make it better. for all maps

im pretty sure this new BF in 2025 is a new upgraded frostbite engine. correct me if im wrong

[trim nexus]

also bf2042 technically had levolution

but IDK why no one wants to mention that lol

[trim nexus]

probably using the same one as BF2042 without previous gen restrictions

Dice has shown off some impressive smoke and destruction physics before 2042 launched

If I had to guess alot of that had to be scaled back because they needed the game to work on 2013 consoles

[candid mulch]

used to be cause of aim assist

ya new bf gonna be sick lets praise jesus

[tawny carbon]

it better be new gen exclusive. seeing 2042. dice should've canceled last gen, plus how 2042 runs on new gen. its abit heavy but very doabloe with more upgraded stuff.

[tawny carbon]

aim assist in bf is not bad. very balanced compared to cod frfr

[candid mulch]

which one

[trim nexus]

orbital

[candid mulch]

nah

[trim nexus]

the effects for that event are kind of crazy

wdym

[candid mulch]

not comparable

[trim nexus]

oh im sorry

yeah right

its nowhere near epic as a damn blowing up

and nothign happening

lol

[tawny carbon]

they had some. but not on the same level as bf4

[trim nexus]

BF4 also had a bunch of stinkers for levolution

[candid mulch]

it completely changes the course of the game and the maps whole areas

changes how the game is played

[trim nexus]

no it doesnt???

[tawny carbon]

yes it does xD

[trim nexus]

Lancang Dam

you want to tell me that had game chaning levolution

are you serious

[candid mulch]

satellite on silk road falls down and you can get into areas you normally wouldnt and completely changes how the game is played around the whole point

[tawny carbon]

set for you playing 1 hr match over and over again on the same map rotation

[candid mulch]

shanghai had the whole middle tower falling

[tawny carbon]

that shit gets boring

[trim nexus]

ignoring my example

noticing

[candid mulch]

its not a levolution comparable

you cant alter something as massive

you can destroy buildings you can say that about any map which has any

[trim nexus]

but its in the game...

[tawny carbon]

2042 have minor levo. not game breaking like bf4

[trim nexus]

and it was a levolution event...

[candid mulch]

lemme check what it is

[trim nexus]

and BF4 also had those that didint do shit

did yall even play the game

[tawny carbon]

i played the game alot

[burnt temple]

Bf4 is my favorite

[tawny carbon]

same here ong

[burnt temple]

I lost my disc

[trim nexus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2SSdRvbJBc

[candid mulch]

holy shit the rocket can blow upé? alright thats a levo sorry

[trim nexus]

LOL

See

[candid mulch]

who knew that?

tf

[trim nexus]

yall just using rose tinted glasses

[candid mulch]

i got convinced that theres none by ppl lol

[trim nexus]

also again lancang dam

useslss levo

[candid mulch]

imma goin check this out

i mean the whole levolution things most massive selling point is shit blowing up and having epic stuff and possibility of such destruction

like the tower falling or the sattelite

that stuff never gets tired

[tawny carbon]

i even waited for it to come out. i waited for it midnight release at gamestop with my dad. just to play it. couldnt play it for weeks due to server issues

[trim nexus]

also LOL silk road

silk road levolution was just a big explosion

I dont even remember what it did

[tame crow]

bfbc2 destruction was mad, i mean excessive as there were some parts of a map where no cover would remain. but something like that would be class again.

[trim nexus]

ok but again

[weak vector]

damn bf4 was over 10 years ago

[trim nexus]

2042 had levolution

[weak vector]

those were the days

[trim nexus]

especially orbital

thats just a fact

[tawny carbon]

Some, not the same level as BF4

[weak vector]

yeah they downgraded in 2042

[trim nexus]

yeah for sure

but I dont really want it again

[tawny carbon]

Very downgraded

[trim nexus]

I want them to focus on dynbamic destruction

and weather

[weak vector]

ESPECIALLY destruction

[trim nexus]

I would take weather and time of day over levoution

ez

[tawny carbon]

Levo and weather will be a great combo. With BF4 destruction

[weak vector]

I want to blow shit up other than just a generic wall

[trim nexus]

imagine if all maps could have time of day and rain

or sunny weather

it would be amazing

[tawny carbon]

In bf4 you can almost blow up anything

[candid mulch]

satellite falls down breaking the massive satellite thing and you can enter below it and it opens close combat

[tawny carbon]

This all I want in the next game. Please Dice

[weak vector]

they never listen to the players. Don't expect it, but know that if you keep the expectations low and it turns out that they care, you'll be more excited that way

[trim nexus]

thats rogue transmission but yeah

also happened irl

[weak vector]

otherwise if you really think they'll bring back that level of destruction (or better), you'll be bummed out if they don't implement it

[trim nexus]

crazy

[tawny carbon]

They kinda have to. To bring back the player base

[candid mulch]

oh wrong map lol

[trim nexus]

I would believe that but they end up implementing changes people ask for

so they do

but hopefully this time they listen before launching the game

[weak vector]

See, I will keep my expectations low. 2042 was supposed to be a "love letter" and look where that got them

[trim nexus]

which seems like what the CTE is for

[candid mulch]

silk road was the one with the water was it

[trim nexus]

Wrong

misqoute

love letter was regards to portal

which well, the concept was

they were right

[weak vector]

oh it was just portal?

[candid mulch]

2042 is so trash compared to what it oculd be

[trim nexus]

yes

[candid mulch]

still funny

[weak vector]

well damn that's even worse LOL

portal is shit

[candid mulch]

i like portal

[trim nexus]

it was just abandoned sadly

I hope they make it again

[tawny carbon]

Tbh. This is what they get by not listening to the community and rush the development under 2 years on the game.

Now they are tryna bring it back.

[trim nexus]

well hey it seems like we will all be playing soon

so Im excited to jump in

[weak vector]

I heard rumors that 2042 was supposed to be a BR only game, hence why no scoreboard and basic functionality. I'm leaning towards blaming the execs with golden parachutes if they fail with bad ideas

[tawny carbon]

I’m hyped for next BF game either way. Imma preorder because it’s my money. No one can tell me not to

[weak vector]

Well if you're hyped then I'm glad. I want to be hyped, but I have no reason to be with DICE's track record

[trim nexus]

why give them money for a product you dont have lol

are the skins really that worth it

I played the 2042 beta, didint buy it

and now Im playing through game pass

Id say thats an amazing deal lol

[candid mulch]

oh man i did that with space marine 2

big mistake

[tawny carbon]

The main focus was surrounding hazard zone. But leading up to release. It didn’t look like the trailers. It flopped hard for the community.

I preordered and still kept playing. I miss release days and beta days of 128p breakthrough to this day. It was very fun and chaotic

[candid mulch]

great game nice single player, coop pve operations repetitive as heck only a few missions, pvp not so bad but man i spent more time trying to connect to games than to play, played whole single player campaign

or rather single player because i couldnt get ppl to join on me

most of the playerbase has joining server issues

infinite loading

preordering fk preorder

hazard was so dumb

[tawny carbon]

People preorder and refund. They don’t comprehend that the game just dropped and needs to fix itself up. Yet this generation say don’t preorder ever again, make the devs suffer, waste of time and review bombing. I understand people try to send a message out but that’s lil to much tbh.

[trim nexus]

the fact that it wasnt freee

holy shit

instant doa

[candid mulch]

imagine gathering data when the enmy can just camp middle and wait for u to try to extract lol

[trim nexus]

and it had nowhere near amount of depth required for a extraction shooter

[weak vector]

I'm sad that the community didn't like 128p. I think they had a chance to really make it shine, but now they won't include it in the next game

I play Squad which has 100p and it's fantastic

[candid mulch]

ya can you imagine? joining server issues that last ever since advanced access? they released the game knowing its broken for most

people couldnt play the game at all, some couldnt even get past the black screen upon opening game, bots in the game braindead for some people idk if it was a bug

[tawny carbon]

I’m still sad abt that. It made me feel better and more enjoyable. To me 64p is to slow when comparing to 128p

[candid mulch]

the game had massive cpu problem aswell people had a permaennt 100%cpu usage

[candid mulch]

what

who didnt?

most people i know liked it

[tawny carbon]

The game was more focus and optimized for console. That’s why.

[weak vector]

I think there's an announcement somewhere that they are scrapping 128p

so I'd say blame console players

[candid mulch]

fk em either way

wasnt 128 for bf4 too?

[tawny carbon]

They had to fix up pc side a lot later on release. I personally didn’t have a issue with that surprisingly

[candid mulch]

there always was no?

confused

[tawny carbon]

No. But WR is adding 128p to BF4

[candid mulch]

wr?

winrar? 😄

[tawny carbon]

Warsaw Revamped

[coarse jacinth]

Where do I see the season pass?

[random geode]

BF 6 now pleas

[candid mulch]

what eve is that

[tawny carbon]

It’s a client for the game like VU is for BF3. You have to buy the official game to play it. It will validate that you have it.

[tawny carbon]

No more for 2042

[coarse jacinth]

Like ever?

[candid mulch]

ive no idea what those are

[tawny carbon]

Everything as in weapons and vehicles is earned through in game challenges via collections

[tawny carbon]

Look it up

[candid mulch]

vu is a bot mod no?

[tawny carbon]

You can add a bot mod to your server

Just ask people in their server

[candid mulch]

ya

tbf one of the things ive been sad about on bf2042 was also knifing

the animations are dogshit

[tawny carbon]

When WR BF4 drops. It have bots natively

[candid mulch]

u stab him from the back meanwhile hes turned around sideways or ur stabbing air

or some other dumb shit

[tawny carbon]

I love BF4 knife

[candid mulch]

ya

i used the reaver

[tawny carbon]

Especially the counter animation and assassination

[candid mulch]

and it was dope to play with

among with the repair torch

[tawny carbon]

EOD bot in BF4

Especially on locker was fun asf

[candid mulch]

eod?

[tawny carbon]

The lil repair drone for engineers

That you control

[candid mulch]

aaa

watching people have fun in bf3 bf4 was a love for me in the old days

so much fun shit

claymoring ppl on buggys

i was always the shit pc guy i had bf3 the week it released couldnt run it

below 10fps

missed best bf qq

[tawny carbon]

Just wait for BF4 WR to drop. I’m waiting to play it. One day it will be done. Imma be playing 128p on it.

BF3 VU is also fun asf

[candid mulch]

bf3 is still populated?

[tawny carbon]

Idk about base game but VU ye

[candid mulch]

whats in the VU thing

[tawny carbon]

It’s a client. You can mod the server to your liking and ect.

[candid mulch]

😮

[tawny carbon]

Just look it up

[candid mulch]

time to become le pirate

[tawny carbon]

Mod as in bots or whatever

No pirate. Official game only

[candid mulch]

ya im just gonna buy it cheap

[tawny carbon]

interesting thread by the current lead artist

whos also working on the campaign

https://x.com/mikhga/status/1721509291905966474

also some BTS on redacted

very cool stuff

[viral abyss]

I’m 100%ing both versions of the game on xbox but it appears the one version of the game is rather dead. I know the achievements should instant pop for the most part with some exceptions but you have to get into the respective game modes for the respective achievements. Is there any other way to get the achievements to pop? The problem achievements are the hazard zone as there has been no change to the amount of people in queue in the last hour

[gentle plover]

Is anyone else having issues with the game freezing?

[hard jay]

Good morn

[vital quail]

The squad bug right now may be the most annoying bug I've personally encountered in battlefield ever

Doesn't help that 95% of the playerbase is braindead

[viral abyss]

what squad bug

[vivid onyx]

anyone squad missing one?

[hard jay]

I thought VU was dead

[hard jay]

(they say official copy to avoid getting struck down)

[vital quail]

Squad orders are bugged and that means inactive squad leaders don't get switched

[hard jay]

Fat car

[vital quail]

Which leads to you having to make your own squad, which if you don't do it immediately, almost nobody that joins late will join your squad first

At the start of the match that is

Staying in a squad where the leader is 2-9 and sniping sucks ass so you can't takeover leader to kick them

Or kick the other casper sitting in the back

[hard jay]

Which game

[vital quail]

Or the boris

2042 ?? Bruh what channel are we in

[hard jay]

I thought you were talking about a milsim with how you take squads seriously

[viral abyss]

ah

[vital quail]

I just want teammates that actually make an attempt to play the game

[next onyx]

Is that your cat scott

[vital quail]

Yes

[next onyx]

Can you give him a kiss

[vital quail]

Her yes

[next onyx]

To be honest.

When I play battlefield I don't really expect much out of my team.

This isn't because I have low hope, partially. But mostly because if you want to succeed you need to rely on yourself.

But goddamn do the blueberries make it hard.

[hard jay]

Bro its battlefield

I've never seen anyone do this

[vital quail]

I just finished a 128 and made my own squad at the start

[hard jay]

Just go play squad or project reality vro

[vital quail]

I kicked about 7 or 8 people throughout the match

[viral abyss]

“blueberries” destiny player spotted

i wish that the vehicles tiers weren’t so grindy

[vital quail]

If people join and can't even get 5 kills against a team with 20 bots in like 5 minutes, they're gone

[hard jay]

We must win for team good guys!

[vital quail]

The only person I didn't kick went 22-22 but had 1 flag cap all game so I probably should've

At least they put some effort into playing and didn't sit in a tank by our spawn

[hard jay]

THIS IS A REAL BATTLEFIELD PEOPLE!

[viral abyss]

sheesh

[hard jay]

Duuun dun dun dun duuuun

[viral abyss]

thats bout how bad I do when I’m grinding the recon’s mastery level

[vital quail]

It's like people are scared to press r2, lmb, or whatever shoot is on xbox

[viral abyss]

yeah its R2 pretty sure its RT on playstation

[hard jay]

Its RT on playstation R2 on xhox

[viral abyss]

been forever since im messed around on playstation I should clean off my ps3

[hard jay]

Jailbreak it while you're at it

[vital quail]

Bruh I'm on ps it's r2

[viral abyss]

nah

[hard jay]

No

Its literally not?

[viral abyss]

nah

its been RT for the ps2 the ps3 and the ps4’s controller theres no way they changed it after like 22 years

[hard jay]

Yes

[viral abyss]

holy fuvk they did

[vital quail]

Weird the 3 ps5 controllers in front of me must be wrong by having r2

[hard jay]

Yeah you have Chinese rip offs

[vital quail]

Oh and 3 ps4 ones have it too

[hard jay]

They're counterfeit

[tame crow]

i kick useless squad members, usually console players

[hard jay]

Do people do that

In battlefield

Is it specific to bf2042 because I ain't neva seen that befo

[vital quail]

Pretty sure squad leader has always been able to kick...

Any game

[tame crow]

the worse times is when you are back capping or behind enemy lines and your squad not spawning on you. like at that point just get out, useless players

i mean even if someone is just an average player but they are providing me good spawn points, i am content with that

[vital quail]

Me on redacted across the map while rest of my squad is shooting into a smoke wall and dying to grenades

[vital quail]

This is all I ask for. Anything but sitting nowhere near anyone else sniping

[tame crow]

then you have those times where you get a full squad that you play with for an hour or two who are just all playing together, playing obj and owning. love when it happens.

[tame crow]

yea some useless sniper with barely any points going 7-1 three quarters into match lmao

he hit those 7 long range snipes tho lmao

like the dope isnt even spotting too, like just useless lmao

[vital quail]

Don't even know what in the update could've broken the squad system

[tame crow]

i dont think dice even know at this point lol

the game is an unoptimized mess

[vital quail]

Time spent on Objective added to the Scoreboard in the Strike Team mode.

Maybe this?? The objective markers that squad leaders have is what I first noticed was broken

Just guessing tbh

[reef cedar]

literally me fr

[hard jay]

BRRRAAAAAAAAAAAP

[lilac dust]

"It’s also understood that the game will see some changes to movement, with one example given by multiple sources the ability to pick up and move downed players."

Giving me BF3 early gameplay footage vibes

[sullen violet]

Could be cool to drag players into cover for revive, but we'll have to see i'd say. I mean, its just speculation and what not now. But who made that statement btw? 🤔

[vivid onyx]

anyone wanna play

[sullen violet]

Should ask in lfg channels

[vivid onyx]

bet

[sullen violet]

Probably easier to get response there tbh, since this channel is mostly for discussion 😛

[lilac dust]

InsiderGaming, Tom Henderson

https://insider-gaming.com/exclusive-new-details-on-the-next-battlefield-game/ Here's the full article

[sullen violet]

Tom henderson

I mean, it could be right or not though

I would still take it as just speculation though, and best bet is just to wait and see instead of getting expectations

[lilac dust]

I mean his track record is pretty perfect AFAIK. On par with Jason Schreier

[sullen violet]

Not as far as i know tbh, but could be wrong. Isn't Jason Schreier a serious journalist though? Not saying what he says is false and what not but grains of salt anyway

[lilac dust]

I mean Tom and Jason both have insider knowledge with plenty of devs which has been proven time and time again. Not saying Tom's article will 100% be true but he is certainly the most genuine/ credible speculation source out there for Battlefield news

[next onyx]

Oh boy leak culture el cringe.

[sullen violet]

I dont consider the guy to be a reliable source for factual info though. Also, speculation is speculation not really facts. My view at least 😛

[sullen violet]

https://tenor.com/view/hatsune-miku-hatsunemiku-vocaloid-leekspin-gif-27084853

[lilac dust]

I'm just saying speculation because he never states most things as facts. History has shown that a lot of what he's said has turned out to be true though

[mental delta]

Idk who is right now because Deco says Henderson is mostly reliable and you say the opposite

Give Crab some enlightening please

[sullen violet]

He has been right a few times yes as far as i know. Speculation and theorising means nothing in the end if you look at it from a factual perspective though. Also too comment on what you said before, isn't he leaker more than anything, so doubt devs would have anything too do with him if you see my view

[sullen violet]

Grain of salt anyway

And i can't comment too much and confidently on his statements, its from what i have seen myself

[rose fiber]

Well true you can't take what he says as confirmed but high % of his leaks being true is still good info

[sullen violet]

Much of the info i have seen, seems also based on things that seem likely to mention that and most people could figure it out themselves. But been ages since i read anything of his statement, again i can't comment too much either since i don't read much of his statements and what he does

[river zinc]

When do we think we'll get our first trailer of the new game then?

[sullen violet]

But as of now i dont consider him a reliable source to say that

[rose fiber]

Also you would probably have to separate how many time he was right based on data mining files and how many times he was right based on insider info. I personally don't care enough to do that

[sullen violet]

Reveal probably up to 6 months before release i'd say, but depends on their plans and what not

[river zinc]

Fairs

Just looking for peope to tell me soon as that's what I want to hear 😭😂😭😂

[sullen violet]

In many cases i would consider data mining as a joke. Example if you thinking future content for a game, would be suprised if they added files for future update way before the actual update if you see my view

[sullen violet]

Soon™

[river zinc]

Dices favourite word

[sullen violet]

[river zinc]

💀

[sullen violet]

Wasn't there talks about community thing early 2025? I haven't read much on that but could mean more things too see 🤷

[river zinc]

Yea

They said public testing early 25

So could be an alpha, before open beta

But alphas tend to be small groups of ppl

[rose fiber]

I think data mining leaks were always for future updates of already released game. When he got leaks for future games I think it was simply insider info

[sullen violet]

How knows what stage the game even is in now

[sullen violet]

Seems more likley than actual data mining from a game if you ask me 🤷

[rose fiber]

I mean, you gotta give him credit, he was right on future titles a lot

[river zinc]

True, they say theyre testing it every week. So they have something. But it definitely still bare

[sullen violet]

Again like i said before haven't seen too much soo from what i have seen at least

[mental delta]

I'll take a single big grain of salt and let my expectations rise irresponsibly

"Ho no BF6 is broken ! How could have I guessed ?"

[sullen violet]

Glad they have good focus on testing to make sure things works as it should, will be less big faults that way at launch too, well should be less

[river zinc]

So no hovercraft that can scale buildings? 🥺🥺

[mental delta]

I don't get it because they said game began full development only this year yet they say they've been testing it almost daily for over a year

[sullen violet]

Probably less chance of stuff like that then. Ngl i think that was funny but do understand why they patched it out tbh

[river zinc]

But yes. Hopefully** everything major should be ironed out, so there's only minor bugs left... Hopefully**

[mental delta]

How can you play something that had barely begun full development

[river zinc]

Bruh

I put too many ** it made it all bold

[sullen violet]

Full development could mean max engine speed from all studios though in this case, game probably been way in development before that 🤷

[sullen violet]

Small bugs are fine, but ideally should be none

[river zinc]

Yea😂😂 made pushing the objective on orbital at the top possible tho lol

[mental delta]

Yup I recall some EA official communication post back in 2022 saying they had to reflect on what happened with BF2042 and announcing they began making next game

[river zinc]

No game in history has ever done that one 💀😭

[sullen violet]

They are at least taking backlash from 2042 really serious form my understanding, and taking time to figure out the good and bad

[mental delta]

Mafia 3, Cyberpunk 2077 and Fallout 76 are good examples of games which released in excellent state with no bugs

[sullen violet]

Probably early console games

[mental delta]

https://tenor.com/view/shrek-shrek-rizz-rizz-gif-11157824601050747846

[sullen violet]

[river zinc]

They would've had smaller teams developing new game as they kept 2042 with some updates. But now they're done w 2042. All studios can focus on the new game

[mental delta]

Yeah that's what I'd give them credit for, the simple fact they directly stated in the interview that specialists weren't coming back shows that they acknowledge the problem

[sullen violet]

Yep interview got me all mushy and excited inside for sure 😛

[mental delta]

I guess it is yes they probably began developing Multiplayer soon after BF2042 season 2 or 3 to directly see what was working in BF2042 and what wasn't

[river zinc]

Me when Battlefield talk

[sullen violet]

Zampella seems to know what went wrong and what not, also potential best for the game too. We'll see the end result, for now i am very positive

[sullen violet]

[mental delta]

Me too and I really like really hope we get more images about it before the end of the year

[river zinc]

We probably will

I'm really looking forward to see the map/area in the concept art that was like in a desert area

If they take anything from bf3/4 that map should be amazing

*should

Cough cough

[sullen violet]

[mental delta]

They want to have some community testings in early 2025 as well which means we could have gameplay as soon as this time

[river zinc]

True dat

Which makes me think we should get a trailer b4 then

[mental delta]

The one with the grey mountains ?

[sullen violet]

I am pretty curious which aspects of 3/4 they will take though, maybe a lot 🤔 🤷

[mental delta]

Trailer in end of year would truly be incredible

[river zinc]

Idk, had the heli landing/coming through the street

[river zinc]

Imagine 😂😂

[sullen violet]

Christmas gift

[mental delta]

I hope we get to only immersive milsim skins but I pretty much doubt it as flashy extravagant skins make sales

[river zinc]

Might just get like a very short teaser announcing the testing window, then the actual reveal trailer later after

[mental delta]

Ha the desert urban map

[river zinc]

Yh

[sullen violet]

If they do flashy skins and what not they should have option to turn off/on player/season or generic skins

[river zinc]

Lol

[mental delta]

Would be really cool they did the same with PayDay 3 on new year's eve and it turned out really good (it didn't)

[sullen violet]

Generic skins being your standard military outfit*

[mental delta]

I hope so

[river zinc]

We can hope

Kinda what the game runs on atm

[mental delta]

Fr I'd like that so much lmao

[sullen violet]

I haven't seen much of payday3 tbh, i stopped playing and what not with 2

[sullen violet]

Gives you the option to keep military skins if you want or allow to see wierd and flashy skins from other players

[mental delta]

It's... low-key disturbing

Game had incredible potential tbh

But it got wasted because of unfinished game at release and bad decisions

[sullen violet]

You know the boris santa skin, personally i wouldn't have big problem with the skin being in game temporary short time during holidays. But i am pretty sure majority dont want to see skins like that

[mental delta]

(Basically BF2042 for coop game)

[sullen violet]

Yeah heard it didn't go too well

[brittle ruin]

why does this line describe so many games today

[mental delta]

That's literally what I seek like I'm not disagreeing people should be able to buy strange skins but I should be able to choose to not see those

[sullen violet]

Yeah absolutely, it might be somewhat small thing but too some it could feel really game breaking. They probably still play the game and what not but could end up them having ill feelings towards the game

🤷

If the gameplay is really, really good they probably would ignore it for most part i am sure

[mental delta]

Gaming industry turned wrong at some point but idk where

Fortnite devs silently lurking in the dark while having a disturbing and vicious smile on their face

[brittle ruin]

i just saw the store page of cod mw3 on steam and it looks like a joke

people wrestling

[sullen violet]

Many times the small things matter a lot in the end for the overall experience not just the big things

[brittle ruin]

obnoxious skins

the guy from halloween

[mental delta]

I mean I'd probably be a little less harsh with BF2042 if it didn't have cash grab skins, even though BF has never been a realistic franchise I'd like their game to keep a little bit of immersion and seriousness

[mental delta]

Yup game got TWD, They Boys and Halloween characters

To me this strongly contributed to turn COD into crap

[brittle ruin]

fortnite is unironically good and all the random crossovers didnt hinder it that much , its cartoony artstyle allowed it to add so many skins

[mental delta]

For those of y'all who played BO6 beta you probably noticed you could buy skins for the beta lol...

[brittle ruin]

i guess this is a difference between cod and fortnite

[mental delta]

Idk how can people be ok with it

[brittle ruin]

nobody minds seeing a stormtrooper in fornite but who the hell wants to play as nicki minaj in cod

[brittle ruin]

no way

who s the forgotten middle child of the cod franchise?

ghosts?

same as hardline in bf

[sullen violet]

I am also thinking even if the games had option too turn of flashy skins it could potentially be a problem anyway, so maybe best having more generic military skins than full fledged glowing skins Battlefield has it's own balance of realism i'd say some games more than other. I feel bf5 had most focus on realism of all of them which caused some gameplay annoynace, like exit vehicle animation, really slow parachute to mention a couple things

Enter vehicle animation fine in my opinion. Getting knocked down on your back by V1 explosion was pretty cool though, would be nice too see it in the next game too by big explosions

We'll see what they add and how much they take from 3/4

3/4 was kind of 50/50 realism in my eyes at least 🤔

Maybe less even 🤷

[mighty holly]

Generic skins would be nice for ngl since I’m blind

tend to shoot more at my teams mates with these wacky skins

[sullen violet]

Can understand you want that more then

[mental delta]

I agree Fortnite wasn't the problem in itself but so many franchises copied their shit in terms of skins it turned out pretty bad

[mighty holly]

the generic skin or wacky skins

[sullen violet]

[pine roost]

Reminds me of a time when fortnite sold this big glowing butterfly wings things that turned anyone into a ‘shoot me’ sign within 300 m lol

[sullen violet]

I need to see this

[pine roost]

Was years ago now so I’ve got no footage, but at night I’d just see this rainbow light in the distance and know it was a player before I got anywhere near close

[sullen violet]

Would be sad if you really loved it but got killed everytime cause of it

[mighty holly]

sounds like a skill issue

[sullen violet]

Guess wacky skins like that wont fall well with most players

[mighty holly]

if thou wants drip one must become sweaty

[stone cradle]

He's usually on-point tbh

[sullen violet]

[mighty holly]

Wouldn’t also call him reliable

[stone cradle]

Though for BF sometimes he's off or as we've seen with 2042 he has sources that make him believe it's much better than it actually is

[mental delta]

Like a good steak I'll wait for his leaks with huge interest

[mental delta]

You wouldn't call him reliable ?

[pine roost]

He’s managed to predict a few things right but also many things wrong. I’m just going to take what he says as a suggestion or concept over fact

[mighty holly]

not fully

[pine roost]

As I do for any kind of leak

[sullen violet]

You want a leak bro?

[mighty holly]

If anything I was right about it being some kind of resource war

[stone cradle]

Not leak, rumours

[mighty holly]

and I didn’t had any wrong predictions

[stone cradle]

I'm pretty sure we aren't allowed to discuss leaks here now that EA is in charge

[mental delta]

I mean he had leaked for BF2042 that there would be a campaign featuring SAS operators in Eastern Europe assisting some local resistance against Russian Forces

[mighty holly]

breh

[sullen violet]

I'll help you get leaks if you want? just grab a hammer and smash your sink pipe

[mental delta]

If he doesn't want it I'd really like it please

[sullen violet]

I just gave it to him how he can get leaks in previous message Bad joke i know

[pine roost]

Got plenty in my fridge

[stone cradle]

they make some good soup

[pine roost]

Yeah we shouldn’t, but I haven’t seen any kind of mod activity at all since the takeover

[mental delta]

What they're gonna do ban us ??? 😂

French Crab has been banned after 15 warning and rule infractions (lol aura -10000)

[stone cradle]

Still, might get banned out of the blue for leaking gameplay or some pics they don't want us to see, or even discussing them

[mental delta]

I need to break down some pipe now

[pine roost]

Good thing I don’t have image perms then

[stone cradle]

[sullen violet]

Wasn't really allowed before either, but i at least was making a bad joke about

[sullen violet]

[stone cradle]

Tbf henderson's report is a rumour so we can talk about it all we want

For all we know it could be completely false

[mental delta]

I'll leak concept art and gameplay in your name bro and eventually get sanctioned for it

[sullen violet]

Absolutely, wont know until any official news. Idk if it frowned upon though, but probably could be 🤷

[stone cradle]

[mental delta]

I'll take his leaks as all true so I got someone to be mad after when it'll be revealed that it was all untrue

😎

[sullen violet]

"Story spoilers - No game spoilers. This also includes leaks (sharing leaks, promoting leaks, or otherwise encouraging leaking behavior). For previous titles, please only share spoilers in marked spoiler-friendly channels." Says clearly here New rules

[obsidian lotus]

i miss the old mod team

[mighty holly]

Same

but now they’re free

they’re “somewhat” one of us

[sullen violet]

I mean, did it make a hug change though? Only difference is mods now don't really interact with users

[mighty holly]

seems a bit sus that they’re hiding

[sullen violet]

That could also be a good thing, if you would think bias and what not. Not everyone manages to stay unbiased

[sullen violet]

They probably always looking though

[mental delta]

They're lurking in the dark

[mighty holly]

hold on gotta make a ticket

[sullen violet]

https://tenor.com/view/lurking-black-shadowy-figures-horror-gif-14300405

[mighty holly]

wonder where they are in the art channel

[sullen violet]

🤷

[mighty holly]

only a matter of time before someone sends something sus

[sullen violet]

Not until game reveal and/or close to release, when all the trolls come

Or the discord server is advertised somehow

[pine roost]

Oh man that’s going to be a wild time

[sullen violet]

Yes

[pine roost]

Whatever new mods come on will have a lot to handle

[sullen violet]

They will see

[pine roost]

I bet you must at least be somewhat relived you don’t need to manage the clown emoji reaction era again

[sullen violet]

I can just ignore if someone toxic in chat

[hard jay]

Wait you can do dat?!

[sullen violet]

Should report it though if its too bad

[mighty holly]

[sullen violet]

Yes ofc

[hard jay]

I heard rumours that discord has a block button

Is this true

[pine roost]

It does indeed

[sullen violet]

Discord blocking is useless imo

Well, at least if on same server

[hard jay]

That removes blocked messages

Its great

[sullen violet]

Woopsie, rip

[mighty holly]

yea would keep that a secret

[pine roost]

Anyways I’m glad there’s at least some discussion around battlefield again

[sullen violet]

Was almost gonna post wave emoji

[pine roost]

And it’s mostly positive for once

[next onyx]

Server been the most active since fucking ever.

[next onyx]

That too.

[mighty holly]

for now

Tho there was some wacky lad who was looking to win augments

[next onyx]

Arguments?

[pine roost]

Lycan?

[mighty holly]

I’ll send a ping

[hard jay]

Mostly cautious

People still don't trust EA or dice

[pine roost]

I still don’t, but it’s not just constant hate

Vince seems to have sparked some more trust in us though

[hard jay]

I neither trust or distrust them

I'll have to wait and see if they're gonna make a proper game

[mental delta]

We need game reveal so bad

[hard jay]

Bf6 is 2025 right

Or 2026

[next onyx]

We don't know.

[pine roost]

We don’t know

[hard jay]

Ah

[pine roost]

But earliest next year

Honestly I’m partially expecting 2026

5 years no bf 💀

[hard jay]

Every company is delaying their games to 2026

[next onyx]

Same braincell.

[hard jay]

2025 is the year of the gta 6

[pine roost]

Although apparently that is also getting delayed

[naive ember]

Imagine a battlefield mode on gta with 128p

[mighty holly]

Better yet to let them cook

[mental delta]

[hard jay]

So just budget battlefield?

[hard jay]

Also I've noticed that they're lowering the selection of weapons to only 2,i wonder how they're going to treat vehicles if they're going the realistic approach

[sullen violet]

If they think that will help them i wouldn't have a problem with it at all. I think we all just want something at least better this time and so do they

[mental delta]

No Rockstar said themselves it wouldn't

[pine roost]

Fair enough

Either way I don’t care about gta so then releasing at the same time doesn’t bother me

[hard jay]

7 years and the new installment turns out to be bad

[sullen violet]

You just want to be like this while reading chat

[hard jay]

Trust me I've experienced that

(saints row)

I don't think I've ever felt so betrayed before in my entire life until i saw the saints row reboot

[mighty holly]

Fr

[sullen violet]

Would be really sad really, but i have big doubts about that this time

[mighty holly]

And not even ratchet and clank 2016 did that bad

[pine roost]

Only sequel I’m waiting for is Titanfall 3. Which uh… isn’t happening

[sullen violet]

Wasn't concord having very long dev time as well? Shame to see how that game went downhill tbh, sad too actually

Not that i would or had interest for it, its just sad if you ask me

[mighty holly]

Fr they could’ve atleast remastered other IPs

[sullen violet]

[mighty holly]

we literally lost the chance of having some goated games come back to life to that

[mental delta]

Exactly I want to see mods go crazy seeing how dumb and deranged this community can be

[hard jay]

Remember the teasers with the graffiti

[mighty holly]

[hard jay]

I was tweaking

[mighty holly]

Don’t remind me

[sullen violet]

https://tenor.com/view/valkyrie-shaking-my-head-smiling-really-gif-23009883

[mental delta]

This game was fucking good imo I never got the hate

[hard jay]

IT WAS SUCH A MISSED OPPORTUNITY BRO

like it was LITERALLY the perfect time for them to make a new saints row game

Saints row could've been way bigger than sr3

[mental delta]

Battlefront 3 when ?

[hard jay]

But nah they just screwed it all tf up and made the series looked at as a joke

[mighty holly]

It ruined the characters

[mental delta]

If you're taalking about the last Saints Row game it was the first Saints Row game I had played

I gave up after 5 minutes

I didn't even wait for the actual game to begin

[hard jay]

Well yeah its the worst one

This game made me miserable

[mental delta]

Character models and animations were just too bad and game looked too cringe

I just said fook and bounced

[hard jay]

I actually downloaded the game in hopes of actually enjoying it but nah

I just felt miserable

MISERABLE

[mental delta]

How ? I liked the little space fox and his toaster friend

[hard jay]

Just play the first 4 games and forget the reboot ever existed

[mental delta]

I'd like too but idk if those are available on PS5

[hard jay]

Sr3 and sr4 are

Sr2 is available on cloud streaming but saints row 1 is still a 360 exclusive

[mighty holly]

Ratchet is too soft of a character and the villains where more darker and the world was more capitalistic

[mental delta]

Ha I'll see it then

[mental delta]

Really ? I just thought it was the same with like better graphics

[mighty holly]

[hard jay]

Ratchet 2016 didn't have enough political commentary

[mighty holly]

#other-games since there’s no mods to tell us I must in force this action as a regular lad

[sullen violet]

[mental delta]

Look at you Angra... what have become ? Some hybrid mod ?

[mighty holly]

I tried my best in the art channel

[sullen violet]

[mighty holly]

smh people be posting gameplay

[sullen violet]

Gl there lol

[mighty holly]

When we got a #streams-and-videos

[hard jay]

Nobody talks about 2042 in here

[mighty holly]

automatic bans for not posting art

[sullen violet]

[mental delta]

It doesn't exist anymore WTF ?

[mighty holly]

because we lost so many good lads

Broken left and the others are gone with the wind

And random people aren’t steeling peoples pics to post there

[mental delta]

That's crazy

Server is cooked

[hard jay]

Good thing i arrived

Battlefield server will be revived by me

[mighty holly]

You’ll make a pog regular

[hard jay]

Im the medic and the battlefield discord is the machine gunner that got sniped

[mighty holly]

Fr tho if they kept the reboot going it’ll ruin the charm for the games universe tho the rift apart game was nice

[mental delta]

Both games were good imo lol

They both deserved to be praised

Btw Ratchet has the Saul Goodman voice in French version of the game

Which is low-key disturbing

But it is what it is

[mighty holly]

lmao in the new one or the reboot

[hard jay]

I only played nexus

[mighty holly]

I played through all the games

Except for 2 which where co ops

[hard jay]

[mental delta]

In the last game

The 2016 game had another voice I think

[vivid onyx]

did server just crashed or was it just me

[stone cradle]

https://rxddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/1fjfuvc/i_perfect_example_of_why_i_play_with_no_hud/?context=3

"muh immersion"

outright damages his eyesight by setting his brightness to 30%

how tf are going to see people with that setting lmao

My eyes already hurt from watching some of that

how can you play like that all the time

[mental delta]

Treating the HUD as the main reason why this game isn't immersive is ridiculous

There are tens of reasons why this games isn't immersive but HUD isn't really lol

[stone cradle]

yeah

[eager spire]

Man plays on a TV with HDR.

[vital quail]

No wonder they have a .76 kd, can't see shit ever

Also boris user + rpg. Actively choosing an inferior option for that rocket lol

[eager spire]

he wants to larp playing a better game

[pearl ridge]

Hell, multiple cosmetics show the HUD being projected on eyepieces

[mental delta]

Yeah that's why I just don't get it lol

A game like BF1 without HUD is ok

But BF2042

Couldn't careless

[pearl ridge]

BF1's HUD being designed in a super clean and simple way is surprisingly fitting for it

Instead of trying too hard to fit into the aesthetic, it's staying out of the way

[mental delta]

Lol don't get me wrong I wasn't shitting on it

BF1 HUD was perfect for the game

[pearl ridge]

Almost feels like a museum piece

[mental delta]

But game is a little more immersive without it just like almost every other BF game

[eager spire]

but even then BF1's HUD was not as good as BF4's.

Because BF4's customization worked better.

[hard jay]

Rue!

We need another bf1 hud

[mental delta]

BF1 HUD was perfect for the game it was used for yes

It's coming from a dude who didn't even like BF1 a lot

[mental delta]

Yeah I'd like it too

[eager spire]

still customization on it didn't work as well as it did in BF4

so that was annoying

[hard jay]

no

[eager spire]

This was not a question, you did not need to answer.

[hard jay]

it was perfect

perfect

[eager spire]

no it wasn't.

[hard jay]

THATS WHY ITS THE GOAT! THE GOAAAT!

[mental delta]

Idk many people who take the time to customize HUD and complain if it misses customization

[eager spire]

stop quoting vine memes at me.

[hard jay]

i mean it is the goat

of battlefield

and fps games

[mental delta]

https://tenor.com/view/homelander-the-boys-perfect-it-was-perfect-gif-13138526129365655091

[eager spire]

well great now you know one person at least, i don't see how this changes anything.

[mental delta]

Well it changes that almost no one gives a crap about customizing their HUD lol so idk if it's really something complain about

[eager spire]

it's one thing to not offer it at all (BF3), but it's another thing to offer it and it not be as good as what came previously (BF1).

[next onyx]

Bf1 and bf5's HUD was super clean.

I personally think they did their jobs just fine.

[naive ember]

2042 has the best HUD

[next onyx]

I like that HUD too but I think bf5's is just better on the eyes.

You can gather information quicker there.

[granite island]

I did not like bf1 or 5's hud

Why is my weapon selection and grenades and other a vertical line

[mental delta]

It wasn't as no one gave a shit

[eager spire]

why does it need to be not a vertical line

[mental delta]

https://tenor.com/view/arrete-de-sourir-soit-normal-mec-yann-moix-yann-moix-gif-24803907

[wicked nexus]

quick question how can i actualy find a game lol

[still vault]

Step 1: click icon to open game libary client

done

[candid mulch]

ya bf1 was so good

it was so fun to play

the mechanics of the game, like how fast it was and how well it felt to just play overall

its just like comming to a game and it feels soooo nice

i went to bf4 after bf1 and it just felt wonky

[pine roost]

[candid mulch]

i like bf4 but i didnt come to it and had to get accustomed to it

bf1 was the best battlefield

by my opinion

i havent played bc2 and bf3 though

bought all the bfs except for 3 just to experience them

[uneven ibex]

Quoted @BattlefieldComm

Battlefield Comms (@BattlefieldComm) ✧

We've decided to postpone the rollout of EA Anticheat onto #Battlefield1 this September 24th.

There are a variety of reasonings associated with this, however, we aim for transparency and one of those is that the issue a minority of PC players experienced on #Battlefield2042 recently (now resolved) would have appeared on Battlefield 1 had we stuck to this original date.

Battlefield 1 is an old title; we want to ensure things are done correctly and we are taking the extra time to ensure that is the case. We will be in touch in the foreseeable future with an updated time and date for this rollout.

Ultimately, we want these releases to be as smooth as they can be and not impact you when they should be doing the opposite - improving your experience.

We cannot wait to see you join us on those old fields of battle once more,

Thank you for your patience,
Stay tuned for further updates!

[junior galleon]

bf1 is really slow

[candid mulch]

its literally not though

its faster than bf4

[rose fiber]

Unless you count the bayonet charge it's not. Sprint speed for BF1 and BFV is the slowest since at least BF3. BF3 and BF4 have slightly faster speed than BF1 and BFV. BF1 movement was better for adding things like vaulting over higher objects, running through doors (BF4 doors were awful)...

BF1 and V: 6,04 m/s
BF3 and 4: 6,5 m/s
BFH: 6,75 m/s
BF2042: 6,5 m/s (normal), 7,25 m/s (tactical)

It could be the running animation that gives the illusion of faster speed tho

[opal salmon]

whos gonna develop the next BF game?

DICE and who?

[naive ember]

I wanna do it

[vocal tusk]

DICE, Motive, Criterion and Ripple Effect

[still vault]

Are you saying you think the studio emojis actually have meaning @vocal tusk ? 😄

[slender hare]

what's your map wishlist for the next BF?

[solid imp]

[patent pivot]

🌊

[solid imp]

ok fine then containers floating in the water

[candid mulch]

but the talk is about overall gameplay

how the game is played not running speed

[solid imp]

Actual answer: vertical urban combat
Enterable buildings from street-level with multiple floors. Any given building could become a hotspot at any time. Their idea of having "hotspot" areas in a map wasn't a bad way of thinking about map design. Where it fell apart was the huge sprawling expanse of ground to cover between them to force only specific locations to become hotspots instead of letting the players decide that per-game.

I mean actually multiple floors not the generic house we have today with 3 rooms on the bottom, stairs, and 2 rooms with a ladder to the roof. I mean like office buildings with larger inside combat areas

[rose fiber]

Ah ok, personally to me they felt quite similar in that

[vocal tusk]

?

[fervent rose]

i honestly prefer the "fighting in the streets" style of urban maps, although sector points can be more like what you're talking about

[tall jackal]

@fervent rose We got that in the concept art so lets hope for that

[fervent rose]

maps where the buildings are big blocks that you cant access, funneling flow

[solid imp]

I feel that. It's a good design type for sure. My concern is it usually turns into outdoor metro depending on execution because it funnels too much

and makes it difficult for inf to avoid vehicles as they tend to be able to plow through

[pearl ridge]

Amiens is peak urban level design

[fervent rose]

devastation imo

infinite flank routes

[still vault]

these

[pearl ridge]

Nah Devastation's too damn hard to see on

[fervent rose]

well thats not the layout

[pearl ridge]

V already has visibility issues

[fervent rose]

thats bfv engine issues

[solid imp]

Amiens had a bunch of enterable buildings, courtyards, and extra pathways no?

[rose fiber]

What about BF4's version of Gulf of Oman?

[pearl ridge]

Played it, I thought it was crap

[fervent rose]

ya it did. still got choked out a lot

it wasnt extremely open

[solid imp]

But at least you felt like you had options at any given time, like you could try to push another way even if you'd end up getting picked from a bridge or something

[fervent rose]

amiens is good though i agree

[solid imp]

I think it depends on what mode they optimize a map for as well

BT will always have chokepoints, it's almost impossible to avoid

[candid mulch]

i loved sniping in bf1 the most

it was so much fun and it wasnt just camping somewhere

the guns felt so goooood

[solid imp]

If they build for BT vs CQ it may not lend itself as well to the other one they didn't focus on so much

[candid mulch]

AND U COULD SNIPE AIRPLANES

[solid imp]

(or whatever modes they do in the new one)

[candid mulch]

best feeling sniping that plane which survived with 10hp and u just bonk it

[patent pivot]

You ever play death match on a portion of a map and say

Why have this area? Why not the other area

[fervent rose]

bfv was so bad about that

besides iwo caves, the tdm maps they chose were trash

[chilly jacinth]

I've always wondered why they never used multiple areas from the same map

for deatmatch

[fervent rose]

same, they're lazy

you easily double the tdm content without much stress

[chilly jacinth]

Def not lazy cause it really doesn't take long to make the map outlines

[rose fiber]

I never had interest in small scale modes in BF like tdm or most event modes in 2042. Besides making map borders smaller there should also be changes to chosen part of the map

I still think those small parts of the map are usually still too open for small tdm

[fervent rose]

yeah 2042 doesnt really have good tdm arenas

the maps are trash

[chilly jacinth]

Meh none of the games have decent tdm maps

[rose fiber]

Like for example when they took small part of Arica harbor for small infantry only event, half the map was wide open road

[candid mulch]

vehicle superiority is dope

all ido is take a wildcat and hammer the enemy team sometimes not even one death lol

[vocal tusk]

Na I was just replying to the guy asking who is making the next game. 😁

[pine roost]

wait I've completely forgotten, who are motive?

so many studios have been closed, renamed, shifted around and moved away from bf that I've lost track

[tall jackal]

I think motive is just motive

[lucid goblet]

They did the Dead space remake recently, also star wars squadrons and battlefront 2 https://www.ea.com/ea-studios/motive

[tall jackal]

They helped on Battlefront

[pine roost]

Right. So just to be certain -
Ridgeline is no more, criterion are working on the campaign and motive's joined the fray

[lucid goblet]

correct, Campaign project got moved from ridgeline to motive & criterion, criterion are also assisting on MP i believe, ripple effect are working on a "new battlefield experience"

[pine roost]

yeye. Think I might have missed the news about motive joining

[opal salmon]

[pine roost]

Still sad about and mildly curious about ridgeline, closing down before releasing anything proper

[candid mulch]

what games did motive make?

[pine roost]

the ones carpo listed

[mental delta]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/s/XfQtuY4OMU

Those fucking guns better be in the next game

Or I riot

[tall jackal]

They probably will xD

[fervent rose]

that presentation isnt battlefield 6

it's some "ai tool" thing

[tall jackal]

Yeah but those animations look too good to not be used like whaat

Or atleast be improved upon

[pine roost]

Maybe it's the thing ripple are working on. Since they did portal, this could be a sort of expansion of that in principle

[fervent rose]

they didnt mention anything about that in the video

i think this is a separate generative ai project

[pine roost]

Seems like the perfect fit for a portal 2.0 experience

[tall jackal]

But why have some nice ass animations for an AI project that is most definitely linked to BF

[pine roost]

if it's not for a battlefield like experience, it reminds me a lot of the SEED showcase

[tall jackal]

And not for BF

[fervent rose]

it could be some "game maker" game project, you never know

[tall jackal]

Okay fair enough

[fervent rose]

or it could be internal tools

[pine roost]

again like SEED

but it just strikes me as something that would fit nicely into what portal aims to do

[fervent rose]

it seems to me like it would be outside the scope of bf in possibilities

it'd be whatever you wanted it to be

And I don't believe portal is returning for bf6

[pine roost]

Maybe not the eras thing, but not having an editor akin to it would feel like a shame

cause there has been some really neat stuff made with it that i never expected to see

[patent pivot]

When you are unable to create a script to switch team

You know that's fucked up

[pine roost]

Not having team switch boggles the mind

[patent pivot]

We all know why

Avoid grinding

And cheese out unlocks

Fuck your balance!

Let me play whoever I want

[tall jackal]

I mean the way they implemented games into BF2042 portal was just horrible

The marketing for it seemed like we were getting remasters almost

Like playing 1942 in 2042 feels like 2042

[pearl ridge]

It feels clunkier than both

Seriously those 1942 weapons feel terrible

Ugh just thinking about them makes me retch

[fervent rose]

except they never really stopped that

[pine roost]

glad I never use them, but yeah those animations are rough

[fervent rose]

i exploited the battlepass every season with portal

you could get so much xp while afk

and it didnt really impact my regular playtime with the game at all, i just got the battlepass guns faster

I'm sure the people selling battlepass skips didnt like that

[tall jackal]

EXPLOITER

Jk

[fervent rose]

and i'd do it again too!

put gun behind grind? nah son

[tall jackal]

Yea

[limber eagle]

repoted

[mental delta]

I hope so we haven't had a proper M4 since BF4

[fervent rose]

🖐️ 😯 🖐️

caught me

[mental delta]

It would be cool if next game got gunsmith too

[tall jackal]

Bro you have 2 right hands

[tall jackal]

Gunsmith like in Hardline?

[fervent rose]

he means like call of duty where theres a ton of attachment slots

Delta Force does it too, they practically copied Tarkov's system but streamlined it a bit

if you love gun customization you'll love DF

[pine roost]

I don't really care too much about weapon customisation

[tall jackal]

Oh ok

[pine roost]

2042 feels like one of the better customisation systems. Good choice that doesn't just lower ads and movement speed lol

[tall jackal]

Yeah omg that shit in CoD

[fervent rose]

i never felt that way cause of how imbalanced it all was

like short barrel is 99% always the best choice over regular barrel, or long barrel

the ammo types too are poorly balanced

too many clear cut winner attachments and clear cut loser ones

[pine roost]

Ultimately I do choose to just stick to one weapon loadout and stick to it, not much will really get me to do otherwise

[tall jackal]

I remember the Grau meta in Warzone. Jeez that was something else

[solid imp]

That said, DF gives 100% transparency on what every single attachment does for your loadout. Even if BF doesn't provide 14 different customization points on a weapon it would still benefit from giving us more information on what's changing with the weapon. DF will show the bullet spread before/after attachment, the specific recoil numbers, etc

[pine roost]

The DF stats page was a feast for the eyes, bf needs that level of detail as a baseline most definitely

[solid imp]

Right seeing that my recoil went from 63 to 64 doesn't tell me much, but if I see how the bullet spread looks on a target, that's a nice tangible outcome
Also. A firing range where I can tinker with the weapon loadout and feel the changes in real-time

I could see something similar for vehicles being a good idea as well.. change your mbt loadout and go shoot up a bunch of targets

[stone cradle]

I remember such a feature from BFV... a legacy feature

[solid imp]

BF4 had a test range where you could do whatever you want basically

Could you customize your weapon while loaded into the test range..? I can't quite remember but it would certainly be nice. Build your loadout, shoot, tinker, shoot some more, save loadout, exit firing range. Done.

[patent pivot]

On the spawn screen

[mental delta]

Yeah or like COD one no matter just a proper customization system

[pine roost]

The worst part is when 'firepower' or damage in whatever game doesn't represent the damage values at all

[mental delta]

No no don't get me wrong I don't want it to turn into exact COD copy where you have tons of attachments half of which are useless

Just more customization

Like handguards

Grips and laser pointer at the same time

[solid imp]

offset irons as more than a one-weapon special 🙂

[amber kelp]

you can do this in bf4

tbh I think 4 has the best system: Barrel, Underbarrel, Sight, and Utility. Theres enough options for there to be plenty of choice but not so many slots that its choice paralysis, and keeping the utilities in one slot makes its much simpler to bind

[vocal tusk]

Plus system made canted sights irrelivant

As much as I like the plus system for what it is, I also feel like it makes the weapons customization and building element kinda dull.

Weapon customization for me was always about building a weapon I enjoy, and having to make compromised on one thing being worse (EG: hip fire accuracy) to make another part better (EG: ADS accuracy).

Plus system removed the need to choose, so once you have a weapons attachment fully unlocked, you just put on the best attachments for all scenarios

[mental delta]

You can't change handguards or stocks no

You can't change actual parts of your guns

Only put attachments

[amber kelp]

I was replying to the grips and lazers bit.

[mental delta]

Ha yes BF2042 not having it is a shame

[amber kelp]

Idk if a handguard section really would do much. It just seems like grips again

what i like with 4 is that they all have their purpose: grips for large changes, barrels for fine tuning, and then the utility

it makes the system fun to interact with

[mental delta]

I don't want it to do anything lmao

[amber kelp]

oh like visuals?

bfv style?

[mental delta]

I just want to be able to put a M4 handguard on a M4 instead of M4 Block 3 handguard lol

[mental delta]

Yes kinda

[amber kelp]

yeah id be down for that

though perhaps a bit more thought out than 5's system. None of the skins ever mixed and matched well

[mental delta]

Idk if you ever played PayDay 2 but it had incredibly dense gun customization which was incredible

[trim nexus]

I would be SHOCKED if it wasnt just a battle royale or something equivalent

also none of that AI stuff is actually going to market any time soon

it was super scripted

and I think people would want something more beyond floating boxes over a sea lol

[chilly jacinth]

It aint going anywhere until it can make its own assets

[amber kelp]

its seems useful for prototyping quickly

[tidal ravine]

hey guys, anyone wanna get a 2042 squad together?

maybe bully some tanks with AT

[candid mulch]

guys i wonder

who else misses bf4 chat

the toxic cnts

the funny names

i played with nivea creme, with bigblackcumschmucker

i miss it

where are they 😦

makes me wanna go back to bf4

[zealous loom]

Idk why but tea bagging was funnier in older BFs

Even when I got tea bagged

[candid mulch]

bf2042 seems like the new emotional generation battlefiled

which is transgeder and hurt by being called the wrong pronoun

i remember being called the n word, small dicked, and way worse on bf4

[vital quail]

What is bro yapping about

[candid mulch]

i also remember a game where a guy in a little bird was so fkin good he slashed people to death wiíth the lil bird for fun

and chopter was difficult to pilot in the game

[next onyx]

Dudes on a ramble.

[vital quail]

Don't know why he felt the need to tell us he has a degradation kink

[candid mulch]

thats exactly right

im sad this bf is not like the older bf

the community is weak

and most of the players are worse than bots

[next onyx]

There have always been bad players.

But God damn that's some weird wording.

[chilly jacinth]

People always seem to forget that the average player isn't good at all

In every bf game

[limber eagle]

I've come to dispose of it

[candid mulch]

id like to see you try

[eager spire]

🤨

like there are so many things about 2042 that you could complain about, yet you choose to ramble about that?

really?
