holy hell that's hilarious lol.

I wouldn't doubt that for a second

What does the assisted flight do on transport helicopters

[vocal tusk]

Auto brings you back to a central hover point/auto levels you out.

Most of the time in BT it's balanced bud

[wise heath]

you’re wrong pal

[naive ember]

Nope

[arctic grove]

yo looking for new friends to play with ?

[viral mica]

No one plays the objective in the objective modes.

[open shell]

i've been seeing old posts about people turning the bsm-v into a accruate smg, is that still good or has it been nerfed?

[spare quest]

still good

[tawny flicker]

Hey there, I got some bad graphic bugs in BF2042 that make the game unplayable. There are colorful lights spreading over the whole screen until I can't see anymore. Some got a fix for that?
The screen mostly gets red/pink but sometimes green, yellow etc. as well.
I'm playing on an RX 6800 (the AMD retail version) that I've never had issues with.
I tried everything I could find online to fix the bug like forcing DX12, disabling FreeSync, playing Windowed, completely reinstalling BF and deleting all related data, using DDU to fully remove my GPU driver etc. ......

[eager spire]

"no one plays the objective in the objective modes" the people that can't get kills are not playing the objective, the ones that can are doing so by getting kills, it's not their fault that other people aren't pulling their weight.

[acoustic seal]

trying to move your mouse while shooting is like trying to pull your shoe out of sidewalk gum

i can get on hldm and farm gauss gun flick clips and hackusations all day but 2042 makes me look like an absolute bot

[eager spire]

nah see, you just gotta get better, the mouse input isn't broken at all, that's just The Unique Battlefield Experience™️

[vital quail]

Definitely a skill issue

[last plank]

Facts. People need to push in some of the objective modes. I have lost countless games by people sitting on their “hands”.

[patent pivot]

They Shoulda stayed in tdm

[arctic grove]

i moan really loud

[nova jungle]

#lfg-pc anyone wanna squad up?

[eager spire]

There are two kinds of players. People that get kills and make sure the enemy can't effectively defend or cap objectives, and people that do the actual capping of objectives.

People just need to realize what side of the fence they're on.

Most players are not that guy. They are not dropping 100+ kills in a match.

They need to either realize that and get better at the game, or they need to just stick to cleaning up and capping objectives.

[vital quail]

Not hard to do both

[naive ember]

3 kinds of players

The 0-15 guy talking trash in chat

[eager spire]

well yeah but a lot of people fail at doing both.

[vital quail]

Nobody 0-15 knows how to even open chat

[tough wolf]

does Rao hack not disable vehicles anyumore?

[last plank]

I agree. I adapt to what the team needs at the time. If I need to push I push. If the bleeding needs to stop I take a defensive position until a push can happen.

[arctic grove]

aint no party like a diddy party

[ebon pilot]

it breaks every part of the vehicle, but they can still use gadgets and weapons

this change has been in the game for 2 years at this point

[tough wolf]

I stopped playing after they added reclaimed

and back then it still disabled the vehicle

wdym by "it breaks every part"? does that make it so they cant maneuver as effectively?

[eager spire]

yeah

[tough wolf]

cool, thanks

[acoustic seal]

trying to remember what it does but off the top of my head it hits turret turn speed and heli climb and turn rate,

probably accel/top speed

[frozen loom]

Didn’t it used to disable them entirely?

Battletoads on wii when

[abstract mountain]

dude this game is genuinely pissing me off, I have a 2% winrate and I'm never in the bottom half of my team. I've played almost 15 games tonight and lost every single one of them. The fuck is wrong with the game's matchmaking??

like it's almost impossible to continue to have fun when I'm going into a match knowing I'm practically guaranteed to lose because this game is stacking one team and throwing me on the losing one

[chilly jacinth]

💀

Complaining while you're an average player

[naive ember]

[abstract mountain]

if I'm average I should have an average win loss what's even your point??

saying stupid shit just to say stupid shit lmao

[chilly jacinth]

Sorry below average player

[abstract mountain]

I'm sure you are no need to project it's alright

no one's judging

[chilly jacinth]

[vital quail]

Kinda insane to lose that much

[abstract mountain]

that's what I'm saying, like even if I was the worst player in the world, just with the amount of people per team, and with any kind of functional matchmaking, I shouldn't even have below like a 15% winrate

like my KD is 1.2, I'm constantly defending and attacking objectives, so at the very least I'm average, and should be within 10% of a 50% win rate. The game's matchmaking is consistently fucking me over and stacking the enemy team

[pine roost]

Here’s how you have fun - don’t care about winning or losing

The ability of your teammates is entierly out of your control, don’t worry about them. Just do the best you can do and try to just ignore winrate

[abstract mountain]

I mean, I understand that to an extent, but when I'm sitting here playing by myself and doing nothing but losing, it just feels pointless to keep playing. I enjoy feeling that I contributed to a match, and if I'm exclusively losing matches then nothing I do is contributing to anything, and it makes playing this game feel like a huge waste of time. I've been enjoying it for the most part but I can't not care about winning, I'm a competitive person and that's half the fun of a multiplayer game

[chilly jacinth]

You're still contributing to a loss

So it's something atleast

[naive ember]

[neon igloo]

I wouldn't consider that to be average.

Err, well, in the general populace, that's probably average. But Medium to great, those a bad stats.

[vital quail]

Kd hardly matters anyways unless you are playing like tdm

Amount of kills and flags capped matter to me much more

[gentle hinge]

Guys can stealth heli be a bomber

I see a heli drop bombs on roofs and shi

[tawny carbon]

Only in stealth mode

[gentle hinge]

Is it a good vehicle

In general or do I stick ot learning attack heli

[tawny carbon]

It’s a good vehicle yea. It’s slower than lil bird. But it’s a different playstyle

[gentle hinge]

Worth learning it if I’m more solo?

Like if I had to pick Attack or Stealth

or the lil bird

I was a lil bird player on bf4

[tawny carbon]

Stealth or aggressive is good for it. Just play with bots to lean the vehicle and movement of it. Then play online

[gentle hinge]

but this is harder than bf4

[gentle hinge]

No I mean should I play the attack heli or stealth heli

Not playstyle

[tawny carbon]

The Apache? @gentle hinge

They are both attack helis

[gentle hinge]

the third heli

is that apache?

[tawny carbon]

Lil bird, aphace and stealth heli aka Hannibal.

I don’t remember the order from top to bottom.
Aphace is superior especially with another person in your gunner seat. But takes abit skill to use.
lil bird is best in class mobility but very weak due to armor toughness for survivability.
Stealth heli is slower than lil bird. Due to it being tougher armor. But have a unique playstyle for stealth and non on the go. (Stealth bird takes time to learn its playstyle)

Can learn and unlock the upgrades in conquest Coop vs AI quicker.

Before playing in a public match with real players

[naive ember]

Alot of the players play like mindless AI nowadays

[tawny carbon]

When they see any aircraft. They go ahead and take it down completely but suck to do anything else

[naive ember]

I know right

[tawny carbon]

Been like this for ages now

[naive ember]

[languid pumice]

anyone down to play NA?

[fallow thorn]

Lfg , Conquest or Breakthrough

[acoustic seal]

that's intentional, they put it in to get rid of oppressive air on the attacker side

(after they doubled down on the super hind by renaming the category from "transport" to "gunship")

tbh i really want to know the logistics of why we're getting common sense balance changes only after support is over

like the mackay nerf was stupid but well-intentioned

[frozen loom]

I only used Mackay once.

To get on top of containers to go after campers.

[naive ember]

That's not what he's used for

[acoustic seal]

unlimited vertical mobility + bonus strafe speed to break ankles

there were two characters in the game and they were mackay and falck

hook nerfs never addressed the vertical mobility, they just made it harder to play aggressively and punish roof campers

in dice's utopia, everyone is a rooftop DMR shitter

[pearl ridge]

As if any of those fuckers use anything but snipers with 10x scopes

[heady root]

game is dead

[fervent rose]

they definitely toned down mackay. the hook range was so high that you used to be able to easily get on top of stranded boat and put down respawn beacons. the level of pure annoyance has been reduced greatly just by taking away respawn beacons imo

but i still kinda hate grappling hooks either way

[acoustic seal]

you still can get on top of the stranded boat easily

[fervent rose]

you have to go to specific spots now, you used to be able to get up almost anywhere

but either way its the garbage map design that truly lets mackay be a terror

Reclaimed D point hill needs to be a OOB for both parties because i'm sick of useless ass teammates letting enemies in through the spawn doors.

At least the bots woulda shot at them.

[echo yew]

2042 i was too harsh on you

i cant believe its the only game i have fun with rn

cod? rather die unironically
delta force? bro they fumbled astronomically

dmz? dead lol

[fresh lintel]

DF Fumbled? Lmao

When a game sounds too good to be true

[echo yew]

I hate the movement

Also bots in MP

Disguised as players

2042 better somehow

im in disbelief

Full circle

2042’s biggest issue is it’s matchmaking throwing you to ended matches but other than that

I

[acoustic seal]

they did add a bunch of new stuff and requested fixes... but only to the chinese client

[echo yew]

Yeah im speechless

And i wont even mention CoD

Rotten fucking franchise

frontlines is kind of atrocious though

[vital quail]

Why do people feel like they need to play frontlines

[fresh lintel]

Sounds like A.V.A

Western Client was a couple patches or years behind the Korean/Chinese clients. Which had things like the XM8 and other guns as an example.

Frontlines is fun but it could be better.

[next onyx]

Frontlines is good.

Delta force is pretty fun despite it taking elements of battlefield games and not understanding how they properly work.

[fresh lintel]

Sounds about right for a Chinese (or Korean?) F2P game honestly.

I was never really hyped for it. The second I saw 2042 like specialists and the maps and CoD esque gunplay I knew it wouldnt live up to the hype it got.

[eager spire]

CoD-esque gunplay

as if the gunplay is significantly different than 2042, though

[fresh lintel]

From what ive seen its pretty much the recoil being your main form of using a weapon. With recoil patterns included.

From my observations at least this is what it looks like. Just hold down M1, pull down the mouse. Just like CoD.

And I know I dont have the luxury of even installing the game on my Xbox one to even try the weapons lmao

[acoustic seal]

dunno about the chinese client but yeah, there's no spread (in the worldwide playtest) and people/bots will casually beam you out to 150m

not unlike 2042, really

[fresh lintel]

I have friends tell me that CoDs gunplay is skill based and its hard to aim

I played MW2 and 3, on a MNK on my Xbox one. I could beam fuckers with those guns in groundwar lmao

And yeah it sounds like a weapon/gunplay update is in order for DF. Hopefully they make it better than 2042's update.

[eager spire]

it's not really

[fresh lintel]

The only "hard" thing about CoD gunplay is tracking, and weapon building. Thats it.

[acoustic seal]

what tracking? you're playing cod, plug in a controller and let autorotation do it for you

[paper axle]

You can play the shit game 2042

It’s pretty much cod

[wise heath]

Is there any way to have to bipod deployed at all times?

[acoustic seal]

battlefield has been "pretty much cod" since bf3, get with the times

[wise heath]

I constantly forget have to manually deploy it

[acoustic seal]

there are only so many ways you can arcade a shooter

[paper axle]

No

But I’ll let you defend a dead franchise

[acoustic seal]

if you're trying to make gunplay more interactive than bc2's strictly stance-based spread then there's really only one direction you can go, and people call that "cod" for some reason

[next onyx]

The only cod like thing that comes to mind is the lack of spread.

And even so the games play differently despite being well. First person shooters.

[fervent rose]

tell me wise one, what should battlefield do differently, you will certainly not kill the franchise, so lets hear it

[abstract mountain]

why do I always have to be on the squads that just sit in the spawnpoint the entire game? Like you're sitting in vehicles... USE THEM! Push an objective with them! I love having nowhere to spawn but in the back of the map because my squad is too scared to play the game

[fervent rose]

if they die in the videogame they will die in real life

[abstract mountain]

god they play like it lmao

and it's every single game too

I have yet to have an actual active squad I can run with

[fervent rose]

battlefield needs drone strikes for people that dont leave spawn

[abstract mountain]

makes everything less fun

[paper axle]

Add more skins

And higher ttk

[fervent rose]

true we need a doja cat skin

[paper axle]

And make halo jumping even more easier

[abstract mountain]

I miss battlefield 4 tbh, but it's really just sweats on there now so it's not as fun as I remember

[fervent rose]

nah lets just have double jumping

[paper axle]

Also more bad maps

Perfect

[fervent rose]

well thats almost a guarantee

youll get your wish

[abstract mountain]

the ability to kick people from your squad when you're squad leader would be top tier lmao

[fresh lintel]

Nah fuck that. I actually like feeling like I earned a kill and not have the game play for me.

[fresh lintel]

In my case its Exploiters, Ximmers and only one server with the good maps.

[abstract mountain]

tbh CoD AA isn't even really a problem compared to most other games

it's almost not noticable most of the time

[acoustic seal]

please say you're trolling so i don't have to dig up the analysis videos

[fervent rose]

someone link the warzone tracking a speedhacker clip

aim aimbot

[abstract mountain]

oh I didn't even think of warzone, yeah with the armor and high ttk it's a massive issue

but in regards to multiplayer it's not a problem in the slightest

[fervent rose]

0 ms response time rotational aim assist. actual people have ~200 ms response times

cod is ridiculous

its skynet gaming

[acoustic seal]

https://youtu.be/frjx63T5FQU

[abstract mountain]

I mean 200ms is actually the high end of most gamers

[eager spire]

"in regards to multiplayer it's not a problem in the slightest" damn i have never seen someone so confidently not know what the fuck they're talking about

[acoustic seal]

https://youtu.be/35-MKO0MTwc

[eager spire]

Actually stop talking.

[fervent rose]

top players are more like 150

sub 150 even

[abstract mountain]

full offense intended bro but if you think AA is the reason you're dying in multiplayer you just suck

I have absolutely zero problem wiping lobbies of max level controller players on kbm

[eager spire]

Max Level =/= competent.

[fervent rose]

brotha the fun of the game is playing other real people

[abstract mountain]

again in warzone it makes a huge difference with the tracking, but at a lower ttk and limited map size, the gameplay speed makes the actual skill gap negligible.

[abstract mountain]

brother I play with Prey, the people I get in this game are absolutely competent

[eager spire]

who

[fervent rose]

"gameplay speed" 0 ms response times

brotha you are not correct

you like the series because it coddles you

cod is a joke

[abstract mountain]

in what way does it coddle me? tf does that even mean?

[acoustic seal]

"aim assist isnt that strong" mfs when they walk into another player https://youtu.be/frjx63T5FQU?t=496

[abstract mountain]

whining about aim assist in a game where you only need to hit them like 4 times is just cope

[fervent rose]

if you're an actual mnk player who is arguing that AA is fine, fine

you're still wrong

[abstract mountain]

play better an it wouldn't be an issue

[abstract mountain]

when did I say I played on controller?

[fervent rose]

75% of pc cod players play on controller its a safe bet

[fresh lintel]

ImMarksman, a player with 3+ KD in Search and Destroy says if he didnt value a challenge he would play on Controller.

He uses a MNK mainly but the second he switches to controller he does better. He has video evidence of this.

[eager spire]

Play better and it wouldn't be an issue

what exactly counts as playing better?

Just never challenging angles? Holding headies the entire time? Please.

[abstract mountain]

it being easier to use doesn't make it broken though. I never said it wasn't easy. I said it's not an issue.

[fervent rose]

it's really simple for me: pure mnk games are really fun. crossplay games arent great in comparison

2042 is a downgraded experience compared to old pure mnk fps

[fresh lintel]

Its not it being easier.

When competitive players use controller and not MNK and when you have video evidence of controllers being near aim for you sessions: Its AS.

[eager spire]

2042 doesn't even have functional mouse input.

[fervent rose]

well yeah thats beyond the point about crossplay

2042 is torture

[abstract mountain]

I mean hitting your shots faster, being more consistent, learning better routing. There are tons of ways to avoid getting into situations where tracking is the sole deciding factor of a gunfight. If you're constantly putting yourself in positions where it's a contest of the entire single advantage controller has, then that's why you're losing fights to it

[eager spire]

i mean, it's relevant because mouse input is nonfunctional, and controllers literally have less recoil.

[abstract mountain]

wym by that? I haven't noticed anything off about the mouse input

[fervent rose]

see thats a problem

[eager spire]

It's been broken since the beta. It was only slightly improved, but it was never fully fixed.

[fervent rose]

you say "get better" but you cant feel 2042's innate engine issues

[eager spire]

Far better players have experienced this issue.

[fervent rose]

every good player complains about 2042 feeling off

[abstract mountain]

because we aren't talking about 2042? I've played CoD significantly more than I've played this, of course I'm not going to notice a control issue in a game I've barely played

[eager spire]

I was talking about 2042 with that statement.

[abstract mountain]

yeah ik you were

[fervent rose]

Well, trust me, 2042's the first battlefield where the mouse has genuine problems (that didnt get fixed)

been that way since the alphas

[abstract mountain]

I'm saying my "get better" statement wasn't even remotely addressed at this game

[eager spire]

I will say, it does say something about your abilities when you don't even notice the difference in mouse feel between CoD and 2042, when the latter is literally broken and has been for years.

[abstract mountain]

I mean it does feel different than battlefield 4 ig but it's been years since I played that. What specifically is wrong with it out of curiosity? I'm not having much problems getting kills with it so far for the most part

[abstract mountain]

I didn't say it felt the same

they're very different games

[eager spire]

Maybe you are not as qualified to tell other people to get better as you think?

[fervent rose]

if i could specifically tell you exactly what was wrong with it i could probably work at DICE and fix it

[abstract mountain]

battlefield has always felt different to play than cod has control wize, so no it's not immediately noticeable to me

[abstract mountain]

that's valid honestly

[fervent rose]

there's delay, among other things

[abstract mountain]

I'd say it feels a bit floaty

[eager spire]

Mouse feel does not change between games, not games that function properly.

[fervent rose]

theres also recoil bugs

separate from mouse input but they add together to feel really bad

if im not mistaken it got rebugged even.

[abstract mountain]

I mean that as in I don't immediately attribute this game feeling difference to it being an issue, because this game just isn't as good as past battlefield games in general, so it feeling different than CoD doesn't seem unusual

[eager spire]

Like i said.

Mouse feel does not change between games that work properly.

[abstract mountain]

and this game doesn't work properly so what's your point? are you just intentionally not understanding my statement or something?

games running on different engines, coded by different people, are absolutely going to feel different. That's just a completely baseless statement

[eager spire]

nah, mouse input shouldn't change between games. Most people that are decent tend to set mouse sensitivites to about the same level between all games they play.

[fervent rose]

you shouldnt release a pc game with borked input

[eager spire]

So, at that point, if you do that and mouse input still feels off, the game does not function correctly.

[fervent rose]

if the free to play delta force can have a buttery smooth mouse feel in its first playtest, why is 2042 still messed up

[acoustic seal]

mouse movements are not 1:1 in general, but trying to track someone while shooting feels like trying to pull your shoe out of sidewalk gum

[eager spire]

because DICE for some reason cannot fix it in this game.

They are just not willing to say so.

[fervent rose]

and it should have never been released

standards used to exist

[abstract mountain]

oh yeah absolutely it does now that you actually mention it, though it hasn't had any major impact on my ability to get most of the time. There have been a few times though where it's felt severely unresponsive

[eager spire]

someone who's good is still gonna be good, it's just gonna be incredibly annoying to play and therefore most decent players do not like playing 2042.

Between that and getting harassment for daring to be good at the video game.

[fervent rose]

yeah its not like 2042's keeping me down, the game is a free farm, it just feels like garbage compared to every previous game before it

[eager spire]

I mean, BF1 was garbage, but for different reasons.

[abstract mountain]

yeah that makes sense. in all honesty though I haven't played much battlefield on kbm, I was still on xbox back when I used to actively play bf4, and this is really the first time I've played much battlefield since then

[fervent rose]

2042's the worst bf of all time due to mouse issues alone for me

if they could fix that, maybe it'd be okay

[eager spire]

Of the BF games I actually put time into, I still think BF4/Hardline are my favorite ones, and BF1 is my least favorite.

[abstract mountain]

so I mean I don't immediately notice it as an issue because I haven't really played the previous games on mouse so I don't know the difference

[fervent rose]

bf1 is my least favorite as far as the design of the game

[eager spire]

BF3 is inbetween. It aged poorly and VU is dead but I still hate it less than BF1.

[fervent rose]

but it was a fairly good functioning product

2042 though..

[patent pivot]

all im saying is

[eager spire]

shut up about bots

[abstract mountain]

I didn't like the gun choices much in bf1, not a fan of super old guns. Battlefield 4 was one of my absolute favorite shooters though

[fervent rose]

go play single player tarkov you fool @patent pivot

it has the bots you want

[patent pivot]

so be it; have it your way

[fervent rose]

they exist

[abstract mountain]

gross, tarkov

[fervent rose]

normal tarkov is awful i agree

but you can mod spt into a very very different game

[eager spire]

Aesthetically and thematically, BF1 is fine. I have no problem with it in that department. However, gameplay is ass for a variety of reasons.

[patent pivot]

curse to all that plagues these games with piss poor content and bad practices

[abstract mountain]

I mean it's a WWI game the gripe with the guns is just a personal preference. Though I barely played it because of that

[abstract mountain]

greedy, lazy devs

[patent pivot]

not adding AI bots for solo mode

[eager spire]

Yeah, but the game is just not great even aside from that. It's a downgrade from BF4 in terms of gameplay.

[patent pivot]

was a travesty

[fervent rose]

bf1 multiplayer and bf1 solo bots do they play any differently?

nope thats why it didnt get added

[abstract mountain]

yeah again I don't even think I put more than 10 hours into it so I don't have too much knowledge on that

I absolutely loved bf4 though

I used to play on the xbox with the kinect so I could lean in my chair and use voice commands

[eager spire]

BF4 is a love-hate relationship at this point.

[abstract mountain]

was a lot of fun

I probably wouldn't play it now

[patent pivot]

4 is not in better state until WR comes along and save the game from hell

[fervent rose]

i'm sure bf4 was fun in like 2016 but its not a great choice today at all

[eager spire]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1_RJ-cHK8I Also, have a BF1 review from someone who is WAY more qualified to talk about this game's issues than I am.

[abstract mountain]

people didn't used to take everything so seriously so pretty much every game was more fun

now people kind of ruin the games even when they aren't inherently bad

[fervent rose]

nah thats not really changed much

[patent pivot]

4 had better team factions

especially china

[fervent rose]

the main difference is how information gets disseminated fast

[abstract mountain]

I mean there were always sweats, but now it's kind of like, almost everyone is just some pro wannabe, or just outright cheating

[fervent rose]

i dont experience that at all in 2042

[patent pivot]

and shitty server content

[abstract mountain]

4 had players that actually played the game lmao

[patent pivot]

that annoys me

[fervent rose]

tbh 2042's chill

[abstract mountain]

oh I'm not talking about this game in particular, I don't notice it here either that's why I'm playing it

[fervent rose]

the last game where i felt like i had to tryhard was pubg. been ages since ive played a hard game

[eager spire]

I have a hard time being mad about people being good at a game.

[abstract mountain]

though I will say as much as I hate CoD, I am looking forward to bo6, I enjoyed the beta quite a bit

[patent pivot]

did you play mw19

[eager spire]

Eh, I don't care, Bo6 could be the best shooter of all time, and I wouldn't buy it.

[abstract mountain]

it's less the being good and more that everyone just finds the scummiest ways possible to play because it's easier

[abstract mountain]

that's my least favorite cod

[patent pivot]

y

[eager spire]

Treyarch get glazed over way too much. That's damaged my perception of them.

[patent pivot]

are you saying thats worse than MW 2 and 3?!

[fervent rose]

cod and bf players both adore cheese

[patent pivot]

dont...

[abstract mountain]

the current gameplay style just sucks ass and that's what started it

[fervent rose]

it is what it is

[eager spire]

The distinction is minimal and largely meaningless.

[abstract mountain]

I mean no not really, but they're essentially just regurgitated MW19

[patent pivot]

still

I think mw19 is a good reboot

just play that, no need to buy 2 and 3

[eager spire]

MW19 was the closest to being a good game.

But it still wasn't.

[abstract mountain]

I mean idk I wouldn't say someone who sits in a corner with claymores and a shotgun could ever be considered good, especially compared to someone running around with an smg wiping teams

[eager spire]

The campaign is almost insultingly bad.

[fervent rose]

mw19 felt like trash compared to old good cod

[abstract mountain]

one is significantly more of an achievement than the other

[fervent rose]

all the new cods feel wrong

last one that felt slightly right was blops 4

[patent pivot]

and im guessing you rate mw2 story is more shit, and 3 is ineligible

[eager spire]

I would not consider the former a sweat, though.

[fervent rose]

and it still had annoying hero abilities

[abstract mountain]

MWIII as far as the new CoDs go, currently has the most fun selection of weapons, plus everything from MWII, so I'd say it's better to an extent

[eager spire]

MW22/MW23 are both bad, but they're not even bad in ways that are interesting to talk about for the most part.

[patent pivot]

eh idk bro

[abstract mountain]

that's fair honestly, bad wording on my part

[patent pivot]

I still think mw19 is the only reboot COD game you want

maybe or maybe not cold war too

[abstract mountain]

I wouldn't want it if it was the only game left to play

it's absolute dogshit

[fervent rose]

hook me up with cod4 any day over this modern cod trash

[patent pivot]

and I dont own cold war

[abstract mountain]

I'd rather eat an actual shit covered brick than ever open that game again

[patent pivot]

either this or bo6

kek

[abstract mountain]

cold war was ass too but at least they had the excuse of time restraints

[patent pivot]

we'll see if bo6 is shit

shittier than cold war

[fervent rose]

it looks like the same shit

but now you can dive

[abstract mountain]

I mean going off the beta it was a ton of fun, and felt pretty good, but yeah we'll see I have faith they'll find a way to fuck it up

[fervent rose]

wild change

[abstract mountain]

it looks like it, but it feels completely different

[patent pivot]

first sliding

now diving...

and dolphing diving in old black op was different

[abstract mountain]

you've been able to dive for most of CoD's lifespan though

[patent pivot]

no

[abstract mountain]

fair

[patent pivot]

old MW did not have diving

[fervent rose]

see i dont have a problem at all with the movement, i just dont see a point to it when im playing against a solid 80% aim assist

[patent pivot]

only black ops

[eager spire]

Like, if MW19 removed riot shields, the Overkill and High Alert perks, the Marksman Rifles, and they had better weapon balancing for DLC weapons, it would be the best CoD game.

[patent pivot]

you want to say shield was far worse in old MW3?

[abstract mountain]

I hope they don't have riot shields in bo6 honestly that shit gets annoying so fast

[eager spire]

nah i think they removed them.

[fervent rose]

god no, the core mechanics are so slow

[eager spire]

but they also said they don't want headshots to significantly effect TTK, so.

[fervent rose]

mw19 is a travesty

[abstract mountain]

I heard they weren't going to be adding them

[eager spire]

Treyarch is chalked.

[patent pivot]

honestly though

I grew out of traditional campaign

give me something like old Battlefront story

[eager spire]

what makes them slow?

[patent pivot]

if you know, ya know

[abstract mountain]

as long as they can balance the guns a bit it'll be pretty good tbh, the map selection in the beta was pretty solit compared to the last few games

MW19 and MWIII's maps were dogshit

[fervent rose]

sprint to fire speeds, aim down sight speed in particular is like slow motion

[wise heath]

that ak74u like smg was pretty op in the beta

but they nerfed it in the open beta

[abstract mountain]

it was still pretty busted in open beta tbh

that thing was two tapping across maps

[eager spire]

From what I can tell that could be addressed in customization, of course, speeding them up would be good for balance.

[patent pivot]

who wants to bet bo6 story will let us only play major characters

[wise heath]

I guess it was worse in the closed beta

[patent pivot]

no random soldiers lol

[abstract mountain]

I didn't get to play closed beta so idl

idk*

[eager spire]

probably, i mean, you gotta have characters for a story, dude.

[abstract mountain]

is frontlines any fun? I haven't played it yet?

[patent pivot]

seriously, some old campaigns did not let you play as majors

[fervent rose]

the baseline ads speed for cod shouldnt need tweaking in gunsmith to feel tolerable. it should be fast as fuck as a baseline

[patent pivot]

mw3- who the fuck was yuri? now it all makes sense near the end

[wise heath]

I’m not sure the exact stats but it felt like the gun needed one more bullet to kill in the open beta

[eager spire]

Yuri was a major character though.

He wouldn't have been named and playable otherwise.

[wise heath]

They gave enough backstory for Yuri

[patent pivot]

we didnt care about pvt miller from waw lol

[abstract mountain]

snipers aside I agree. If you make the snipers too easy to use the game just becomes obnoxious. MWIII for example has snipers that are faster than some of the smgs in the game. Against any competent player the second you see the glint you're already dead

[wise heath]

Problem with Yuri was silent protagonist during missions

[patent pivot]

ya say the fucking same for mw1 and 2

[eager spire]

Sniping is a meme.

[abstract mountain]

I usually suck with snipers in CoD games but god damn they're lightwork in that

[fervent rose]

true, cod's always had op snipers

[wise heath]

I started playing the mw3 campaign last week and just now realized he has a voice in cutscenes

[wise heath]

modern warfare is so overrated

Idk why Ghost is the most circle jerked character of all time

is in like 4 or 5 missions and dies

[patent pivot]

"bloody hell, we got our ass kicked"

[abstract mountain]

I personally sit on the minority of people who enjoyed Ghosts a lot

was probably my favorite/ second favorite CoD game

[eager spire]

Ghosts was just kind of mid.

[abstract mountain]

the maps sucked

campaign was amazing though

[eager spire]

I played through the campaign like last year.

It was just mid.

[abstract mountain]

and I liked how the game felt as a whole

[patent pivot]

at least ghosts added solo mode for bots

[eager spire]

Nothing to write home about at all.

[patent pivot]

sort of

[abstract mountain]

I mean no not when you play it this late lmao

[wise heath]

multiplayer announcer? thats it

[abstract mountain]

I wouldn't even really consider bo2's campaign anything special compared to some games we have now

[patent pivot]

damn shame bot is unavavailable for extinction mode

[eager spire]

Bo3's campaign, now that's a thinking man's CoD campaign.

[fervent rose]

ghosts came out 3 years earlier than titanfall 2, the best (modern) fps campaign so far. its not exactly ancient

[eager spire]

which is probably why it wasn't recieved well.

[open minnow]

Hey chat

[eager spire]

yes?

[patent pivot]

TACTICAL NUKE

INCOMING

[open minnow]

[eager spire]

Okay.

[wise heath]

tactical nuke incoming.. its over -Spetsnaz

[patent pivot]

AC 130 ABOVE

[wise heath]

It’s good when compared to any other fps at the time

[abstract mountain]

at the time being my entire point

[wise heath]

heard that the Infinite Warfare campaign is one of the best

[eager spire]

Treyarch made Bo2 and then they've been coasting off that ever since, in terms of reputation. People act like they're god's gift to Call of Duty when they're no better than the other studios working on it, they are more than capable of making their own mistakes.

They made Bo4 and then Cold War.

[fervent rose]

both bo4 and cold war have better core gameplay than mw19 and i am not a treyarch fanboy i dont like cod

[eager spire]

Bo4, maybe. Cold War, fuck off.

Cold War is just as bad as MW19, it's just that Cold War didn't have doors.

[open minnow]

Wild

[open minnow]

It's true. But wild.

[eager spire]

It's crazy how hard people will glaze Treyarch, as soon as any of this comes up, they start talking about how it's really activision's fault for some reason

[open minnow]

Reaaallll

[eager spire]

as if Activision would give a shit about weapon/attachment balance at all

[open minnow]

Ik right

[eager spire]

Activision doesn't care about any of that, they only care about if the store works and if people are buying skins.

[open minnow]

They have the most unfair weapons in all of fps

[eager spire]

Treyarch are perfectly capable of making their own bad ideas, they don't need Activision's help.

[open minnow]

It's not a tiny bit realistic and even then the game play dude..

So shit

[eager spire]

I don't even care about realism, it's just that Cold War is so not fun to play on multiple levels.

[fervent rose]

for the record cold war is bad

just better than mw19 which is ultra bad

[eager spire]

MW19 was closer to being good than Cold War, in my view. From a multiplayer perspective.

[open minnow]

I haven't played MW19 so I can't say

Don't ask why I said yeah..

[fervent rose]

but mw2 was the worst of them all

all the problems of mw19 but amplified

[eager spire]

MW22 was made because IW saw people started playing MW19 once slide cancelling was discovered and fucking hated it

It was designed out of spite.

[fervent rose]

worst feeling cod of all time

to me mw19 was like a midway point between a slow cod and old fast cod. but mw2 just went another level and holy fuck its bad

[eager spire]

I mean, I don't think it'd take much to make MW19 into a much better game.

[fervent rose]

well idk about that

the maps are not good

[eager spire]

Slide cancelling and bhopping are already in the game, regardless of them being intentional mechanics.

[fervent rose]

kinda need a whole new game

[eager spire]

Sprint to fire speed/ADS speed can be tweaked.

Overkill and High Alert need to be removed.

Marksman Rifles should also be removed.

As well as riot shields.

[fervent rose]

if you took mw19 and made it not geriatric, yes it'd be pretty great

it just has pointlessly slow timings because mnk cant be allowed to be that fast

[eager spire]

I'd also consider removing Tracker.

[next onyx]

Out of all the recent cods I genuinely think mw3 was the most fun despite its broken weapon meta.

As per standard in a cod game. Sadly.

[fervent rose]

vanguard and mw3 look the most fun and ive not tried either

[eager spire]

MW23 seems like it'd get very annoying to play very quickly

[next onyx]

Vanguard was alright until you encountered some guy with piercing vision browning.

The heavy ammo types broke the game which is a shame because it was pretty fun.

[wise heath]

Bo6 also has a wall hack perk

[eager spire]

Vanguard, whoever thought it was a good idea to add incendiary bullets to the game should not work on video games anymore.

[next onyx]

Mw3's ttk has a very similar idea to battlefields about 4 to 5 hit kill weapons.

Yes we get it you don't like fire rounds.

[open minnow]

The biggest problems about all these games are the hacker's

[eager spire]

yes.

[fervent rose]

2042 didnt really have a cheating problem

[open minnow]

Almost every cod game got tons

[fervent rose]

for all of its issues

cheating wasnt one of them

[eager spire]

because 2042 was such a bad game that there wasn't much point to cheating

[fervent rose]

bfv was INFESTED

[next onyx]

It's not like it matters because eod now functions to reduce that to none problematic levels and you would be better off using something different.

[open minnow]

Not bf2042 persay

[open minnow]

IK RIGHT?

[fervent rose]

the amount of closet cheating in bfv was crazy

[next onyx]

First day in pc bf5 had to deal with a hacker it's insane.

[open minnow]

Bf2042 don't really have any problems though

[next onyx]

Oh yeah I was done more with pc bf5 faster than I was with it on console holy fuck

Problems like what

[fervent rose]

2042's its very rare

[open minnow]

Yep

[fervent rose]

bfv i installed a week or two ago, first game a cheater was annihilating the server from a plane

[open minnow]

But I wouldn't give any credit to anticheat

[next onyx]

If there's one good thing it really does feel like they've at least put in an effort?

[open minnow]

In bf2042

[next onyx]

Cheaters often go on for months and months but the instant they're gone they're pretty dead silent.

[open minnow]

Yeah

[next onyx]

Had a few here in my region unfortunately.

[fervent rose]

i really wonder if they just lucked out due to that drop of like 98% playerbase

[open minnow]

Region really makes a difference with how many hackers

[fervent rose]

cheater devs just said nah

[open minnow]

Like Na for example would be infested💀

[fervent rose]

like theres still private custom made cheats

[open minnow]

Yeah but those mostly played on people hosted servers

[fervent rose]

there were a couple cringe aircraft cheaters that ive even run into

but thankfully it wasnt a widespread issue

[next onyx]

I don't endorse it but it really sucks that they're used for malicious purposes instead of a fun experience.

[open minnow]

Btw anyone able to play a few games?

[next onyx]

Hacked lobbies in cod were fun because they were just dumb.

[open minnow]

On vc

[next onyx]

Too tired

[fervent rose]

especially when they make youtube videos about their soft cheats

[open minnow]

Alg

[fervent rose]

fuck those people so much

[next onyx]

This rise in cheating is why I'm staying on stuff like terraria.

[dull crag]

Guys can i play bf2042 offline?

[next onyx]

At least if you cheat there you don't ruin it for everyone else just yourself.

No.

[fervent rose]

lets just pray the BR for next game is a bust so cheaters dont ruin multiplayer

[next onyx]

I wish dice would make a finished game and break it so that cheaters can't make software for it.

Remember that early on?

[pearl ridge]

Yeah the TTK was actually slower than I expected. However, there is a significant prevalence of downright obnoxious one-hit-kill weapons

Every fucker with a bolt action is one shotting on the body, and half of them are fifty cals so they don't even need a square hit

Shotguns are inexplicably worthless at ranges further than having the barrel in their mouth though

[open minnow]

if anyones able to play join battlefield vc 1\

[eager spire]

Good. Fuck 'em.

[pearl ridge]

But that just encourages camping behaviour with them instead to catch people around corners

It's no good if you need to empty the magazine just to take them down at fifteen paces

[hard jay]

https://media.tenor.com/AEZMmpSwgzcAAAAM/boo.gif

[eager spire]

Ideally they wouldn't be here at all, so i'll take them being not that effective at range. Granted, I also dislike sniper rifles and most of MW23's one shot bullshit, i don't think any of it needs to be in the game.

[stone cradle]

They should be a killstreak

[eager spire]

No.

[stone cradle]

ww2 handheld this perfectly

[eager spire]

I don't remember WW2 having fire bullets. It had a flamethrower.

[stone cradle]

It was a 5 kill killstreak I think?

[stone cradle]

I did, I remember pairing it with the shotgun and people sending me nasty messages when I did

[eager spire]

This is exactly why they shouldn't be there.

[stone cradle]

skill issue

[eager spire]

how is it a skill issue

[stone cradle]

Just adapt to the meta, don't fight it

[eager spire]

i'm gonna bite you i think

[stone cradle]

I'm a proud type 2a main in BFV too

[eager spire]

I don't even play BFV so whatever

[stone cradle]

[frozen hollow]

Please fix the Sg-38 sentry gun

It's very useless

Increase reaction time, range and damage

Fix your game

thanks

[eager spire]

why

Why not just shoot the guys.

With the gun you have in your hand

[frozen hollow]

I want to use it

[vital quail]

Boris players be useful challenge

[eager spire]

Use it as a distraction.

That's it's primary purpose.

[frozen hollow]

Make it more useful. Increase reaction time, range, and damage

[eager spire]

It's useful as a distraction.

You still need to shoot the guys with the gun you have in your hand.

[frozen hollow]

Are you a developer?

[vital quail]

I would add boris to my server name but I don't think it fits unfortunately

[eager spire]

If i were i would not be anymore.

[frozen hollow]

then shut the fk up

😄

[eager spire]

The devs don't talk here anyway.

So up yours.

[frozen hollow]

[eager spire]

Man can't even shoot guys with the gun in their hands, gotta have a sentry do it for 'em

smh

[open minnow]

anyoner able to vc?

[eager spire]

mmm, false

I'm not playing Engineer TF2 here, the sentry is good as a distraction for you to shoot the enemies with the gun in your own hands.

It is literally not that hard to do.

Your expectation that the sentry should be able to get kills for you is hurting your gameplay.

Also the game's not getting balance updates like that anyway.

[void gorge]

Very good day, I'm here playing and there were a few moments when I piloted the condor but I had a question in my head as to why this plane doesn't have a sound system like some vehicles in the game and I say this because the condor is one of the main transport planes. and I personally like to play while listening to music and saying that the game's music is generally very good

[vital quail]

Is the game down?

Nvm, had undefined error for the last 15 mins. Fine now

[naive ember]

Buy the soundtrack problem solved bud

[spice walrus]

Heads up!

The following titles will be under maintenance for an hour this Tuesday, October 15th at 08:00 UTC.

▪️ #battlefield-legacy-titles 2042
▪️ Battlefield V
▪️ Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II

We anticipate online disruption across all console platforms during this time.

[dull crag]

Can the devs add offline mode please

[spare quest]

no

[chilly jacinth]

Why

[inland linden]

Looking for ppl to play with

[void gorge]

The issue is not the soundtrack, my dear, but the songs that play on the radio in the game's vehicles, which are good to listen to and there are even ways for you to find out the name through an app, for example

[void gorge]

I think EA forgot to pay for hosting the game's servers

[naive ember]

The main issue is that you're worried about music in a fps not doing your team any favors

Honestly I hope you never end up on my team if you somehow find a way into NA

[void gorge]

In this game there is no story mode since launch and it will only be in the next game in the franchise, but in the next game we probably won't have at least a "separate" mode with 128 players and that makes me sad because I think a part of the BF community agrees that When you try 128, you don't care about 64 anymore

[gentle hinge]

Guys what is the best ground vehicle to duo in? and what loadout

[void gorge]

But like, do you have something against me? I would like to know and... don't worry because when I play with a VPN, for example I only play on European servers because I usually find the game crowded quickly and based on your name on the profile here on the server, I imagine it would be a shame to play with you

[pine roost]

tbf the jazz station is an absolute bop

[naive ember]

What's wrong with me name bud? I would like to know

[half ginkgo]

Sorry for being late, but yes I have got an RTX 3060

[half ginkgo]

I don't think that's too old

or too bad

and updates are all installed

[unique geyser]

Yeah there seems to be some problem with updating to the newest drivers of NVIDIA, 565.90 or something like that if I remember correctly. I have got no idea if this is a problem from NVIDIA’s drivers or BF2042.

[void gorge]

What do you mean jazz station? Is there a way to choose radio within the game?

[half ginkgo]

Yup, it also mentions the graphics cardd and the driver version in the error which is 565.90 so....

however I don't encounter any problems playing other games

[unique geyser]

Yeah which would mean that it’s on BF2042’s end

[half ginkgo]

let's just pray for a fix

🙏

[minor stream]

I’m the only brotha trying to play Breakthrough at this hour huh

[kind crypt]

Why can’t I post in #screenshots-and-clips

[half ginkgo]

maybe cause nobody can start the game

lmao

[minor stream]

More specifically the matchmaking appears very broken

[kind crypt]

Anyone?

[minor stream]

Or idk I just tried Conquest 128 and hey I got one other guy in here 30 more to go

[half ginkgo]

Same

[kind crypt]

Sigh

[minor stream]

Oh damn we got 6

[half ginkgo]

damn gotta go play bf 4 again

[minor stream]

Okay Conquest 128 ain’t happening trying Conquest 64

[placid yoke]

Somebody wanne squad up on 2042? Im new on PC so Ill kinda suck

[minor stream]

Oh it’s going baby

[wise heath]

game dead at this hour

[naive ember]

It dies off totally after 4 am est

[pine roost]

1400 hours by the way

apparently

[naive ember]

[pine roost]

holding or pressing R changes stations

can't remember which

there's plenty

some liscenced songs with some remixes too

there's one that played on one of the bluetooth speakers that's a jazz remix of the main theme that I really want to hear outside of the game

[naive ember]

Just youtube the songs

[pine roost]

Some are there, but I just don't listen to music on youtube

[naive ember]

^

[tawny carbon]

Spotify is king 👑

[half ginkgo]

Tid

al

TIDAL is the king

[dull crag]

Does battlefield 2042 still get updates

[naive ember]

All the time

[next onyx]

It feels like I've played the game for longer sometimes.

But I guess I don't have the same kind of mental fortitude after grinding all 500 levels on bf5.

[acoustic seal]

it's in the bf5 5.2 phase where they make wild, random changes to gameplay but add no new content

[next onyx]

This is no 5.2/.2 phase.

Just low priority updates now.

[vocal tusk]

500 hours on loading screens and another 100 on the title screen between games. 😭

[next onyx]

Fun fact about in game time is that it counts when you're playing the game.

I don't actually look at that part.

I look at the in game time.

[dull crag]

I wish they could add way to play offline with bots because i dont want gamepass

[tawny carbon]

Battlefield always been online only connection for MP side of the game

Bots is considered MP side

[acoustic seal]

? why are you playing a multiplayer-only game just for bots?

[hoary sentinel]

im not him but me personally i like to feel like im better at the game than i actually am

[dull crag]

Battlefield 2

[tawny carbon]

That’s old asf. But MP is still online only

The only offline part for any battlefield game. Is campaign. Nothing else

This isn’t cod

It’s battlefield for a reason

does anyone actually play the portal featured modes? i think i tried gun game once

Air superiority is all I touch

Other than that, not a single one lol

The past has no power, over the present moment

I loveee air superiority

My favorite game mode

[tawny carbon]

My fav, lil bird is all I play in it

[white ginkgo]

hey guys i just joined again to say i am really not hyped for the new battlefield, ea should give up we dont care yall lost us fr 🗣️

okkay bye i need this server slot for something good like roblox phantom forces (its better than bf)

[vocal tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/wheel-of-fortune-wheel-wof-game-show-vanna-white-gif-19174111

[pine roost]

Has phantom forces added equipment yet

It’s been over a decade

[naive ember]

EA is goated though

I'm proud to play games with the EA logo on it

[acoustic seal]

i wonder when i'm gonna accept that all the franchises and genres i liked are dead and i need to move on from video games entirely

[fervent rose]

what genres did you play besides fps? might be time to try new stuff tbh

[echo yew]

Its time to look at indie games

Oh wait no one is doing anything but realistic immersive milsims

Unlucky! Touch grass

For real though, can 2042 stop doing that thing where it creates an empty lobby just for you and no one joins, i get it the game has like 300 players on a good day but come on man

[tawny carbon]

300 players what are you smoking

That’s Steam platform only. Not including EA app, Xbox or PS.

Xbox and PS also have a split population due to new and last gen console crossplay. But that still dosent count as the platform number in total for Xbox or PS alone

I wish EA, PS and Xbox give us access to database to gather info for game player counts like SteamDB.

[echo yew]

That was me being theatrical

I know its stupid

my point is

The matchmaking is broken and has been broken since launch

[tawny carbon]

I have no issues with it for a long time. Don’t understand how it’s broken

[echo yew]

The game seems to create lobbies just for me

ill join a match with 0 players

On the waiting screen

And no one will join

its odd

[tawny carbon]

Maybe you join around this time where people is mainly sleeping or not on. During the weekday

Weekend have more players overall

[next onyx]

Just play terraria

[open minnow]

looking for somone to play

[quiet shell]

You guys think 2042 will die once the next battlefield is out?

[acoustic seal]

instantly

[acoustic seal]

these peaks are all at euro hours, nobody is playing this game in NA

[open fractal]

sad true

[naive ember]

I'm staying on 2042, it's the greatest fps ever

[patent pivot]

Unless next one is still mediocre

[acoustic seal]

if the next one is mediocre this franchise is done lmao

[chilly jacinth]

Said at every new release

[acoustic seal]

surely people will stop buying shit after the third mediocre release in a row

[chilly jacinth]

You missed all the other games

[acoustic seal]

realistically, the "battlefield" part of the next battlefield is going to be totally irrelevant and everything hangs on the battle royale pulling apex/pubg players

one more year to fix mouse input

[severe hill]

A Battlefield br wouldn't be that bad, and almost fully destructible map with probably a destructive ring like Firestorm

It's microtransactions

[chilly jacinth]

Very good when they drop support after a week because no one gives a shit about a battlefield br

[severe hill]

If no br no competitive modes

Just a standard battleground between two factions

[acoustic seal]

the finals did "fully destructible" and it makes the gameplay terrible

[severe hill]

Better than dying to traps in door ways from the obese campers.

[chilly jacinth]

Definitely not better

[kind crypt]

It’s already dead

The day EA killed DICE is the day 2042 was doomed

Still disappoints me so much man

I had great memories on BF3 and 4

[acoustic seal]

it's always EA's fault and dice can do no wrong because they made one good game over a decade ago

[kind crypt]

Everything is truly EA’s fault

Anything they touch they ruin it

[tawny carbon]

EA owns Dice. EA made Dice

[acoustic seal]

[kind crypt]

U didn’t cook with that one

[tawny carbon]

Ik cuz it’s true

Never said I wanted to cook

[kind crypt]

Very nonchalant

Anyways

EA ruined battlefield I’m sure we can all agree

[tawny carbon]

They own dice that owns battlefield

[kind crypt]

That’s not my point

[acoustic seal]

EA did not design the maps or implement the gun mechanics

[kind crypt]

2042 is what happens when managers design the game and not the devs man

[tawny carbon]

EA is the publisher of Dice. Dice runs the show and the head of development for the games

[acoustic seal]

ah yeah i forgot, you were in the office while they were making the game, my bad

[kind crypt]

Yeah I was calling the shots myself actually

[tawny carbon]

If you blame anyone. Blame dice. Not EA. Blame EA for the deadlines. Especially for 2042, due to rushed development that was under 2 years

[kind crypt]

EA is greedy

Equally their fault

You won’t convince me otherwise

[tawny carbon]

Dice recovered the game. But launch isn’t worse than BF4

[kind crypt]

Sure but it will never feel like BF4

[tawny carbon]

BF4 have the worst launch of all time for battlefield franchise as a whole

[kind crypt]

Yet still one of the best

Can’t say the same for 2042

Just bloated with micro transactions

Can’t even knock a skyscraper down anymore bruh

[tawny carbon]

It’s not even that bad for micro transactions

[kind crypt]

And me personally I’m not a fan of the specialists

[tawny carbon]

It’s ok. Could’ve been better tbh. Specialist was intended to be in BFV. But wasn’t ready enough. So they moved it over to 2042

[kind crypt]

[tawny carbon]

Me personally. If they didn’t support last gen consoles for 2042. It might’ve been better personally

A lot of content and stuff got cut before 2042 release btw

[kind crypt]

I didn’t even know 2042 could run on a ps4

[tawny carbon]

Yep. It’s on last gen consoles

The crossplay for last gen don’t work for new gen platforms

But new gen consoles can play last gen version of it and new gen with 2 separate downloads of the game

[kind crypt]

Yeah i don’t see the point in that

[tawny carbon]

128p don’t work on last gen

It’s way to much for last gen consoles to handle it

[kind crypt]

Waste of time tbh

The ps4 is literally a decade old

[tawny carbon]

I said the same thing for its development when it came out

[kind crypt]

It’s sad to see dice being a shell of its former self

[naive ember]

Long live EA

[tawny carbon]

EA and Dice learned from 2042 development. And looked how older battlefields from BF4 and older reacted to the community

[chilly jacinth]

Surely they learned this time

[kind crypt]

[tawny carbon]

Is kinda of the reasons why they are being closer with the community now again. And bringing back CTE before stuff drops to the actual live game

[tawny carbon]

I’m sure they did. If not. It’s only worse on dice’s end from the community

Means they gotta figure their shit out more

[vital quail]

Did they take away the censor for text chat?

Or change it

[tawny carbon]

Some things go through. As other things won’t

[vital quail]

I mean "fucking" wouldn't usually go through

[acoustic seal]

people will say this and then go play bf4

[tawny carbon]

It all depends on the word, that is being said

[kind crypt]

I really don’t understand the correlation

[tawny carbon]

People enjoy playing a good well made game over new games nowadays

[acoustic seal]

they're both over a decade old and irrelevant

[kind crypt]

BF4 isn’t irrelevant in the BF community

The ps4 sure

That thing is used for airplane memes now

[tawny carbon]

For PS4. Barely any PS5 exclusives and games still support last gen consoles

[abstract mountain]

This game is crossplay between pc and Xbox right?

[kind crypt]

Think so

[tawny carbon]

New gen only

[abstract mountain]

New gen Xbox, anyway

Ye

[tawny carbon]

Yes

[abstract mountain]

Ty

[tawny carbon]

The player on Xbox series S|X needs the new gen version of the game to crossplay with ps5/pc

Same with PS5 side of it

[tawny carbon]

This

PC only have new gen version

[abstract mountain]

Double checking before maybe getting it for my friend

[tawny carbon]

On Xbox it will be S|X on the game card. That’s new gen version

[abstract mountain]

Wait like if you buy it on console do you get both versions or do you have actually buy the right version?

[tawny carbon]

Maybe 🤔. Idk tbh. On my series X I only have new gen version only

I haven’t looked that deep for me

I know there is 2 different versions of the game

[vital quail]

Someone recently said on Xbox they only had the previous gen version but were on new gen

[tawny carbon]

I remember that

[vital quail]

And were mad they got "scammed", so just make sure u buy the both gen version

[tawny carbon]

Mmm 🤔

It tells you which one

[vital quail]

If you buy it on Xbox 1 it may only be on that gen

Same for ps4

[tawny carbon]

I can download both of them

I only bought new gen version of it

Maybe it was the upgrade I did from last gen years ago

Idk. Forever ago to remember tbh

[abstract mountain]

okay sweet tysm fellas, gonna make sure he gets the right one then, cause I want a squad lmao

[shell belfry]

I’m liking the frontline side of it

If they put gun / game /gun master back portal things will turn around

[shell belfry]

Anyone here

[placid echo]

Potentially

[urban pollen]

Played 22 hours straight today

[vital quail]

My playstation year in review is gonna look crazy with 2042 having like 1k hrs tbh

Like that one dude who saw captain marvel 200 times is me

[urban pollen]

200 times?

I had to see that m3gan movie like 4 times cuz of going on dates with different women and after the 3rd time I was checked tf out

[vital quail]

It's a meme

[viral mica]

Why is Rush XL in the team deathmatch category? lol

rofl, 128 players?

[open minnow]

[open minnow]

[vital quail]

[naive ember]

cod player

[random lion]

Why do PC gamers all cheat with cheating software on BF2042!?? What does it bring them? you're not good enough at SHOOTING? AHAHAH

[naive ember]

[red sluice]

Guys need help, cannot load game from steam, it says, from EA app run: Something went wrong...

it all worked before, wtf?

[tawny carbon]

Task manager and close EA background services and Steam and try again

[tawny carbon]

https://youtube.com/shorts/7S9ltQvc7MU?si=cyIkN75TvnlMNeYM

Good fun game. Also the most casual franchise for fps genre

[vital flare]

doubt

[patent pivot]

more like its for casual fans

no faithful fans

[naive ember]

Nothing casual about 2042, its a futuristic fps simulator

[tawny carbon]

It’s modern with some futuristic tech

[hollow jewel]

Great game it's sad ppl don't play it

[naive ember]

Sounds like a EU problem bud

[hollow jewel]

Yup dead EU servers

[obsidian tide]

Greetings once again. May have found a possible solution or placebo fix for Infinite Loading on First-Time Launch again.

1. Right-click on Taskbar, or open the Settings app for Windows from the Start Menu.
2. Whatever the case, navigate to Taskbar Settings.
3. Under System Tray icons, set the following parameters:
   • Show Touch Keyboard Icon: Never. Not just the default of When No Keyboard Attached; Never.
   • Show Virtual Touchpad Icon must be toggled to Off.
4. Now restart the PC and relaunch the game. Repeat to retest this as many times as you need to.

I know I should EA Forum post this, but this was thought to be doing enough for now. And feedback to corroborate whether this is useful of not is needed either way.

[unique geyser]

Shouldn’t be, last time I checked, there was no problem with getting into a match with enough players.

Maybe it changed, who knows.

[red sluice]

Thank you

[unique geyser]

I can’t play anyway since the latest NVIDIA drivers fucked up the game.

[tawny carbon]

Np 😉

[lethal moon]

did anyone just crash

well get disconnected

[lethal moon]

theres 5k playes on rn wtf u on about lmfao

the eu servers are in fact not dead

youll find a full 128 game in 5 seconds or less

[naive ember]

He's not the only one from EU that's been saying that tbf

[mossy wolf]

idunno but im from eu and i get matches in like 4 sec

@lethal moon did get like movement issues somehow first it was mouse and now movement issues

[gentle hinge]

is it not al my game ain’t opening?

@tawny carbon the MSI monitor is insane btw

Very nice screen and picture quality

[fringe spire]

is it normal for armor plate to screw up shotguns so hard

[urban pollen]

Why so many bots lately

[vital quail]

There is a tip in-game that literally states that buckshot and flechette are bad against armor

[fringe spire]

people read those ?

oh well, at least I know it's intended

and now I'm on EU playing a game with 240 ms

[wise heath]

Even flechette? Thought the point of it was that it had penetration

[ionic shuttle]

[mossy wolf]

how

[vital quail]

Yea, it says "shotgun pellets (buckshot and flechette ammo) deal reduced damage to enemies equipped with body armor, except in the limbs and head"

I spent an unnecessary amount of time looking thru random streams to find the loading screen that said this

Waste of time tbh

[fringe spire]

don't ask me ahah

[wise heath]

Ah.. sorry

[vital quail]

I figured it would only take sifting through some random stream but I got in too deep and took like 10

[arctic grove]

Noobs I'm ready for the new battlefield game

[timid inlet]

No one sees what you see, even if they see it too.

[frozen loom]

That's profound.

[worthy inlet]

How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren’t real

[frozen loom]

Real eyes realize real lies.

[worthy inlet]

Oh look it’s the guy who is trying his hardest to be banned again

[void gorge]

I placed the proximity sensor close to me, the enemy killed me in a humiliating way and the sensor didn't warn me that the enemy was coming

[inland magnet]

Hold on, he is up to something here

[vital quail]

Got Beavis and butthead in chat right next to each other

[inland magnet]

Navigate 3D space? I use keyboard and mouse to fly jets and helis

Cursed? Cursed 🤝

[acoustic seal]

have u tried being situationally aware and not outsourcing your gameplay to deployables?

[eager spire]

imagine actually paying attention to the video game

[open minnow]

Paying attention? What's that?

[ionic shuttle]

☹️

[abstract mountain]

I really just got loaded into the after action report lmao wtf game

[errant phoenix]

hiya, is there anyone who likes playing serious conquest and squad up? please send me a dm id love to make friends

[naive ember]

There's nothing serious about conquest bud
