battlefield-2042

[late creek]

just did my 1st hc game of the event.. not having fun lul
if im reading right, its just these 2 maps? for a whole month

[hoary sentinel]

the word you're looking for is sound design, "sound track" is the music, which it does have a good soundtrack

[vocal tusk]

Downstate and hardcore does not work at all haha

Having to wait 4 seconds to "Double tap" a downed enemy feels terrible

[vital quail]

Are they immune to all damage between being shot and going down?

[copper acorn]

Hey I just checked out your yt channel, it looks like it was a pretty successful channel so why did you stop posting?

[vocal tusk]

Yup

You cant make enough money to have a decent living from YT.

[copper acorn]

Ah ok, but you had fun doing it, right?

Or wasn’t that your dream career…

[vocal tusk]

It was fun when I started, it was not fun at the end

[copper acorn]

Hm ok

[frozen loom]

Is the update out yet?

[vocal tusk]

Yes, out since this morning

[frozen loom]

Nice.

Something to look forward to.

How's the Garand?

[vocal tusk]

Not unlocked it. Not a big fan of the new event at all TBH. Ill try the non hardcore versions later on

[frozen loom]

What about the 4 maps?

[vocal tusk]

Only 2 maps, El alamein and Bulge

[frozen loom]

[void gorge]

But I don't think there's much difference because it's simply a soundtrack

[vocal tusk]

El Alamein is essentially a new conquest layout, but there are WAY too many vehicle on way to fast a respawn rate for that map to be fun. Its too open and you just get killed running from flag to flag constantly

[hoary sentinel]

Its not a soundtrack though, its just ambience.

[void gorge]

But I imagine that YouTube pays its content creators well because if I'm not mistaken, this platform pays per views and even pays more if their videos contain numerous ads because consequently these ads also generate revenue for YouTube itself

[copper acorn]

How much you get per 1000 views for an ad depends on what your content is about

[void gorge]

Just an environment, I honestly didn't understand why the environment in this case would be the game and the soundtrack is something that obviously makes up the environment

[vital quail]

.

[copper acorn]

Bruh

[hoary sentinel]

the Soundtrack is the music that plays in the game
the ambience are the sounds that play in the environment
the sound effects are the sounds that play during combat

it is really not that hard to understand the differences between them

[void gorge]

And like, do you understand the YouTube algorithm, I ask this because sometimes when I access the YouTube website, videos from channels that sometimes I have never seen in my life appear and that have few views, but the logic was not for YouTube to deliver the video to more people when your video has a good percentage of views but anyway YouTube delivering it with few views to people who don't know you anyway is excellent

[hoary sentinel]

#general

[tacit sorrel]

They chose 2 of the worst maps for hc lol

[void gorge]

In fact, I personally get a little confused by these things because for me, for example, the game's sound is basically all the same

[spare quest]

The worst maps for the worst mode

[copper acorn]

Who thinks bf2042 is a good video game in general?

[void gorge]

What are the maps please because Depending on the answer I don't even go in if there is the map the exhibition for example in which in my opinion the design of this map is horrible

[copper acorn]

[vital quail]

I love how we still have no idea what map he's talking about because it's mistranslated

[copper acorn]

[copper acorn]

Bro is getting mocked by everyone (I know why ofc)

[hoary sentinel]

they absolutely do not sound the same

[hoary sentinel]

its exposure

[late creek]

and vehicles in hardcore??!

this mode is tanking my (useless) k/d even more

[next onyx]

Just use a 6x dmr with maxed out velocity.

Or 4z

4x

[craggy lagoon]

Heya guys I need people to squad with, I sacked the game off when it first came out due to the bugs, I tried it again over the weekend and gotta say I love it. However I’m still low level and need a hand leveling and some guidance. So if your up for a challenge and some games drop me a Dm, I’m old asf btw and EU

[naive ember]

Ask tk

[craggy lagoon]

Who

[naive ember]

Some pro keyboard warrior

[craggy lagoon]

Oh, we have one of them

[tawdry zenith]

Meaningless event; how can you play on those 2 maps without cover? They could have used the ones from BF3 instead of 1943. Very bad....

[glass imp]

tk is a god with the P90

[quiet sonnet]

lowkey boring game lol

aimtrain 42

i got so bored i just started sniping people with the unica

[hoary sentinel]

There's cover everywhere for those with eyes to see

[tiny pond]

i just had the best Anti Air session with the EBAA wildcat

its rpetty good at it

[spare quest]

Who would have thought

[tiny pond]

i didnt know it was a AA vehicle and i just got it so i saw aa rockets and thought: Huh what if

i was just sitting on a hill shooting at everything

[vital quail]

??

[spare quest]

[chilly jacinth]

It's the only proper AA vehicle in the game

[tiny pond]

oh

i didnt know that i only just started playing BF2042

[fringe spire]

the event pass is awesome

also I just realized

a lot of the skins are for games from old bf

pretty cool

[tiny pond]

i hope they keep that hardcore mode thingy

its soo good

[pine roost]

It’s the dumbest experience I think I’ve ever had but okay

[pseudo belfry]

Why was the M1 Garand in All-Out Warfare given an Accuracy stat of 45, far lower than either its counterpart in BC2 and 1942?

Can it have a higher stat?

[spare quest]

Imagine trusting the ingame stats

[pseudo belfry]

So they aren’t accurate?

Why?

[pine roost]

Firepower doesn’t even display the damage values properly

Honestly don’t pay too much attention to them, it feels relative to some arbitrary value on every gun anyways

[pseudo belfry]

Alright.

[chilly jacinth]

Cause the BC2 and 1942 stats don't translate to AoW

[pine roost]

Seeing delta force’s stats page has me realising how primitive 2042’s is

[chilly jacinth]

Is it not just a straight copy of the cod stats page

In delta force

[pine roost]

No clue

Don’t play cod

But either way it still actually told you stuff

[fringe spire]

none of the stats have actual meaning, they're just arbitrary figures to give players a very rough sense of weapon performance

[shell belfry]

What’s the point typing anything on here or the web as DEV team obviously don’t listen or care anymore there always was a hardcore community mainly portal and now it looks even more blocky men missing map textures and you wonder why we are still playing BF4 in 2024

[fringe spire]

even the fire rate values are not quite right

[pine roost]

Lots of values used to be completely off which was rather funny

[pseudo belfry]

none of the stats have actual meaning, they're just arbitrary figures to give players a very rough sense of weapon performance

even the fire rate values are not quite right

Lots of values used to be completely off which was rather funny
I see.

[pine roost]

Yeah you’d get more out of spending 5 minutes in an empty lobby comparing things yourself

[pseudo belfry]

On a small aside: There was an Xbox player in the server I was just in who somehow got 160 kills with the M1, while everyone else had roughly 50 kills or less.

I absolutely loved the M1 Garand in the original BC2, and was one of the best weapons I used.

[fiery tendon]

To the person who told me bout ntw I LOVE U

https://tenor.com/view/bts-love-my-love-for-you-hearts-gif-13996231

[vital quail]

If it's the hardcore server this isn't that crazy honestly

Unless it was all headshots, then it's cheating

Or if it was against a team with half bots

[pseudo belfry]

It wasn’t hardcore. It was regular Breakthrough.

[vital quail]

Can always use #stats to look them up to see if it's legit

[fringe spire]

the hardcore gamemode is awesome, really feels like a different game

[ivory canopy]

True
VHX-D3 and AEK are listed in game with different fire rates, yet these two guns are identical in that.
M44 is rated at what, 150 RPM? It shoots nowhere near that quick; more like 60-70 RPM.

[pseudo belfry]

How do I use the stats channel? Can I search other people’s stats instead of my own?

[vital quail]

Yes

If you click "full stats" it will take you to the website it gets them from

That is where a lot more information is

Full stats on a 2042 post there*

Then there is a search bar at the top and select platform and enter name

[ivory canopy]

Sorrow has stat lists that are much more accurate to what you'll see in-game.

[vital quail]

This is for player stats, not weapon

[late creek]

Devs lying and just making up random stat #s that don't mean anything

[pseudo belfry]

So I found that player I mentioned earlier.

I didn’t expect to find what I found

Can I post his stat profile here?

[vital quail]

You can search their name in #stats

Not against the rules to post other people for "curiosity" (I think)

Start with /bf2042 there

Follow the prompts

[echo yew]

Matchmaking still not fixed?

Lmao event DOA btw

[pseudo belfry]

I posted it

[echo yew]

...did they ramp up sbmm?

[pine roost]

it doesn't exist

[echo yew]

did they add it then

joined a haven match and saw 4 players with superhuman reaction speed and perfect aim

[pine roost]

you just got unlucky then

[echo yew]

mfw takes 10 minutes to find matches because the matchmaking is beyond broken and first match i get thrown against the top 0.001% players

cod moment

[vocal tusk]

It's not broken, there just aren't many players.

[vital quail]

Just looks like good stats, don't play breakthrough personally so I've never run into them

[vocal tusk]

I don't think DICE know how bad a move advertising this event as hardcore only actually was, when they also included a standard mode...but didn't tell anyone.

[vital quail]

If you're region is SA then that's probably not very populated

[echo yew]

Its so over

[vital quail]

Even though we dog on tk every chance we get, he's in Brazil and plays on eu mainly

Thru vpn

[echo yew]

Worrying that they’re focusing on the milsim crowd

[vocal tusk]

How are they?

[pine roost]

don't worry too much, mode's awful lol

[vocal tusk]

Are you just saying things hoping others will also start hating?

[pine roost]

they've done plenty of hardcore portal modes in the past, so it's not really anything new

[echo yew]

isnt hardcore kinda the more “realism” thing or

[pine roost]

apparently

[pseudo belfry]

just looks like good stats.
I know. Its very clear this person isn’t cheating, I just wasn’t expecting stats like these.

[echo yew]

ight nvm im not playing videogames today

[vocal tusk]

Years of building modes for standard, and when the game is at its lowest player point...to advertise as HC only is wild tho.

[echo yew]

not the day for it

[pine roost]

especially for what, 4 weeks isnt it?

[lusty vector]

this is not hardcore for the event... its mayhem, its stupidity, not hardcore... no proper gameplay with instan respawn on vics and stuff lmao

[pine roost]

hardcore requires a completely different fundamental game structure to be at all enjoyable

[lusty vector]

bad dmg multipliers.... rpg hit your vehicle you almost die instantly yet if you hit an infantryx with 50cal i nthe head they keep moving xdddd

[echo yew]

wait is it actually?

[vocal tusk]

Well it's different modes each week, but essentially yes. Hardcore with no hit markers is also horrendous feeling. It has completely broken the gunplay feeling and muscle memory

[echo yew]

im pretty sure it isnt? unless it went under 1000 players like early 2022

[vocal tusk]

It's not all time low, but like...normally events like this spike the players. However I'm struggling to get a game a peak hours in central eu.

[lusty vector]

bro how? im in central eu also, but i always in game within a minute in every game lol

literally never had to wait more than 1 min

[vocal tusk]

Ive been sitting here trying to get into a game of standard second circle for 4 minutes haha

[echo yew]

Im taking a guess its cause most fps players are on BO6 and this event simply isn’t interesting enough, also with the marketing focus on the hardcore variant

[prime hollow]

we only have 60 health
sniper does 90 damage
doesn't 1 shot
What

[vocal tusk]

Sniper damage in the event mode is reduced, as is damage from other weapons

Its in the patch notes

[prime hollow]

:((

[vocal tusk]

Its not a stock HC mode, its custom settings

[lusty vector]

just ea and dice being ... uhm....... off again

[vocal tusk]

Settings I DO NOT like or agree with , but not all things need to be everyones liking haha

Does this guy just not read or something, always negativity baiting

[lusty vector]

who? 😄

me? 😄

[vocal tusk]

You

the explanation for that is literally the line below their comment

[prime hollow]

That's like, the main thing I was looking forward to. Really satisfying to always get 1 shot snipes

[lusty vector]

just because its a uniqe settings, doesnt justify for being it totally bad and unlogical

also, then it shouldnt be promoted as hardcore

because its not

its just a random event with random settings... thats it lol

[vocal tusk]

It is hardcore, just a varient on it

Its just not the same as HC most players are used to

[lusty vector]

so its not hardcore

[vocal tusk]

Which is REALLY shit

[copper acorn]

Toilet gaming

[lusty vector]

just a random setting game event

[vocal tusk]

Its not really random. I see what they were trying, but it just doesnt work in full lobbies on these maps

[prime hollow]

Wait

[vocal tusk]

the HC mode would be orders of magnitude better with hitmarkets and no down state

[prime hollow]

What if I make my assault rifle dmrs

[vocal tusk]

?

[prime hollow]

Bc dmrs have their damage reduced

Evident by my 70 dmg taking 2 shots

[arctic grove]

why does this game get so much hate, i absolutely love it

[lusty vector]

how come its not random in your eyes when multiple stuff doesnt work as you would think it would in a hardcore? ( as you might assume based on years of experience in previous titles , or in any other fps games where when they mention harecore )

[vocal tusk]

Bad launch state, and inconsistent to weak game design (Bad maps, hated specialists, ETC) contributed to most of its hate

[lusty vector]

its not getting hate, just critisism, thats different

[vocal tusk]

Its not random to me as I can see what they were trying to do from a game design perspective. I am a game designer so I can see a bigger picture. What works well on paper doesnt always work well in practice tho. Which is what I mainly see when I play from my own experience, to the experience of others reported here, and in game chat

[copper acorn]

Which games have you been working on?

[vocal tusk]

They wanted to make a slower, more methodical game mode. But 3 years of player experience cant be over written with a single event. 99% of players still flag run like headless chickens, dont revive, dont resupply...so the elements of this mode, paired with the harsher element of HC presets dont gel well

[pine roost]

I found it interesting when they specifically added notes about magazine dumping and health regen saying to 'stick to supports!' more and whatnot, but those features won't just naturally make teamplay more usual

[vocal tusk]

TLDR of my insights: they should have just done a nice polished standard mode only, and marketed it as such

Dont make your playerbase HAVE TO relearn how to play your game for an event

[echo yew]

Because launch was objectively terrible and it was a complete betrayal of anything battlefield was

[copper acorn]

Bro is dodging my question

[vocal tusk]

I will never tell some random on the internet where I work, are you insane

[copper acorn]

Huh I asked on which games you have been working on

Like game names

And not your working location

[vocal tusk]

Which would tell you where I work, so no haha

[copper acorn]

💀

[echo yew]

i dont think you realize he can't say that dude

[copper acorn]

Oh ok

[echo yew]

I fucking give up playing today man wt

f

endless sweats

[copper acorn]

Maybe you would do it from home or something but if it is at a studio then I can understand it

[echo yew]

uh

that's not how it works

[prime hollow]

The 45-70 is untouched

[echo yew]

the FPS market is so sad rn lmao why is call of duty the least worst option again

[copper acorn]

Idk I just like to talk to game devs and didn’t want to make a false impression lmao

So sry if I did

[vocal tusk]

I dont work remote, but im still not gonna tell anyone the games I make, or have worked on. Cos whats the first thing people will do with that info? They will look it up, and if its something they dont/do like...it objectively changes how they may interact with you

No offense meant to you or anyone with this either, but you also cant account for the mental state of the person you are speaking with on the internet haha.

[copper acorn]

Bro what

Wait

[vocal tusk]

I pretty well explained that there, what do you mean what?

[copper acorn]

With „bro what“ I’m referring to your last sentence

[vocal tusk]

😄

[copper acorn]

It’s all good

[remote kiln]

Battlefield Bulletin (@BFBulletin) on X

In a recent interview with Videogamer, #BattlefieldHardline's Lead Multiplayer Designer (Thaddeus Sasser) said there's "no way" EA was going to sign off on a sequel even if Visceral Games wasn't closed down by EA, because of the political climate at the time and lower than

Twitter · Oct 29, 2024, 8:26 PM

[vocal tusk]

The political climate part of that made me lol

Hardline flopped, thats why we didnt get Hardline 2

[copper acorn]

I understand everything with the work location etc also understandable if you had bad experience in the past telling people information like these👍

[vocal tusk]

Many bad experiences, and that was just from YT days haha

[copper acorn]

Then I can understand your reaction with questioning the sanity of people on the internet lmao

[vocal tusk]

Some context would be - A group of people I had a falling out with in an emulation discord server stalked me for months and ended up getting me fired from a casual IRL job I had to supplement making YT videos.

Peeps on the internet be crazy, I tell you hahah

[copper acorn]

Ooooooffffffff sorry to hear that.
I can 1000% understand your reaction now, because at first I was like „wtf is that guy saying I’m mentally unstable“ but now I get it .

👍

[vocal tusk]

TBH, something id prefer in a HC mode like this, is not downed state, but having the option for no kilcam. Just get downed and thats it. I dont think Portal supprts this tho, right?

[copper acorn]

[vocal tusk]

Like in normal modes, the player that shoots you gets highlighted, so you can call their position out. Historically, that wasnt a thing in Battlefield HC, but I cant remember if its an option in 2042 HC

[pine roost]

Believe it's just one or the other

[vocal tusk]

I also feel like im so used to knowing map bounds based on minimap, ive become reliant on that for positioning haha

the event HC mode is just all around rubbing me the wrong way. Gonna try out the standard mode for a bit now 😄

[vocal tusk]

Its pretty wild that out of all the things they marketed for this event, they chose to market the hardcore side of things. And not the new conquest layouts for the El Alamein

Excessive vehicle counts aside, it has some nice areas. Especially the 3 flag sector in the center at B

[void gorge]

How I wish this game had a mode outside the portal in which during the game every time you died the game would automatically change your weapons and place random weapons for you to play with so that you could progress quickly and since in this game there is no real waiting may the developers consider putting this in the next

[tawny carbon]

Looks nice at night

They did well ngl

[vocal tusk]

It plays OK, the lighting is decent yeah. Some of the flags suffer from BC2 syndrome, where once their cover is all gone from destruction...you are kind of a sitting duck as infantry 😄

[thin terrace]

Lemme just place my cover as Irish and it'll all be okay /s

[vocal tusk]

Oh nice, they actually added all this stuff as adjustable in portal, and added a "Night Version" map toggle for loading the night modes on supported maps

Being able to have really strong shotguns, but only enabling the secondary shotgun on an experience could be a lot of fun haha

[tawny carbon]

How many maps support nights. Or it’s the 4 maps from this event only?

Atleast in portal

[vocal tusk]

Unsure if its even 4 right now. Ill check on portal in a rotation and see if its more

[tawny carbon]

It’ll be nice if they release night ops conquest or whatever afternoon sometime during this event due to feedback

[wispy oar]

Premium missing 20% xp boost

[tawny carbon]

Even if it’s not hardcore mode or ish

[vocal tusk]

They should add a day time mode for Redacted 😛

Least work for a map remake EVER!

[tawny carbon]

sorry we will have to update the maps to make it viable for night version

We don’t have enough rss

[vocal tusk]

El Alamein loads with night time lighting, but the old crappy CQ layout in portal. Shame

[tawny carbon]

Would be nice if they added the event layout to portal atleast

[vocal tusk]

Bulge loads the event map tho, which is odd. Why is one there, but not the other haha

Also has night lighting as expected

[tawny carbon]

Maybe a bug

[vocal tusk]

Its also super weird that this is technically no longer conquest assault, as RU team now has a base spawn, but RU still spawns with all flags capped

Orbital doesnt have a night mode in portal

[tawny carbon]

Time to ask the devs in forums, if this is intentional or a bug or, haven’t been updated yet.

[tawny carbon]

What maps is in rotation. All 4 rn in live game or no? For the new event.

Sorry. I can’t get in till tmw noon

[vocal tusk]

Only El Alamein and Battle of the Bulge are in event mode rotation this week

[tawny carbon]

So that’s prob why…

[vocal tusk]

I doubt it TBH. there wont be another game or content patch in the next month, and in that month Redacted and Orbital will be featured maps

[tawny carbon]

We can wait and see till it goes live. And test it in portal

Atleast for those 2 maps lol 😂

[vocal tusk]

So I doubt Orbtal will have any changes, but who knows...the El Alamein map is also not updated on Portal, maybe it will be for AOW

[tawny carbon]

I see, I see

[copper acorn]

☕

[void gorge]

The Levolution on this map, in my opinion, is the best in this game when that rocket explodes because there are moments during the explosion when you can even see the shock wave running across the map

[vocal tusk]

A night ops event in future could be cool tho. Some maps could play and look very different in different lighting. Like Renewal and Haven

It doesnt look like any other maps got secret night mode lighting in this update at least. Been through 80% of the maps now, and only Bulge and Alamein are changed

[patent pivot]

When it's full moon

Bring out your big flashlight

Laser sight

And NVG

[void gorge]

Was this answer for me? Because if it wasn't then I wish you got some satisfactory answer from someone else but if it was for me then I don't understand

[naive ember]

[smoky dew]

I’d like to congratulate everyone involved in this Battlefield 2042 event. It was a surprisingly positive experience that completely elevated the game. The damage model is fantastic—I'm not a fan of games with overly high TTK. I also enjoyed the new vehicle damage mechanics. Now, tactics are rewarded, and each shot truly feels impactful. Great work!

[opaque shoal]

I'm really confused about who the new Circle of Hell specialist cosmetics are for. I've always been confused since it doesn't say which skins go to which specialist. Can anyone clarify who the new Shrouded Slayer and Haunted Wraith are for and if there's a way to tell that I'm missing?

[acoustic seal]

this post was sponsored by chatgpt

[kindred flint]

god damn that HC mode is trash

[acoustic seal]

yeah this is so unserious lmao

just sit in a building and one shot people with a dmr from half the map away

and of course vehicle MGs just roll over everything at all ranges

[eager spire]

aren't you immersed

[acoustic seal]

it's so goofy

you see someone crawling on their belly 300m away from a point and just walk up to them and pistol them

[kindred flint]

wow pilots have gotten so much worse since i last played

lmao these fucking idiots tbagging

[wise heath]

Would agree with you but thermal hell

[jagged wyvern]

I just got the premium pass for the event but my 15 tier skips haven't come in, do y'all know what I'm supposed to do?

[vital quail]

Play 1 game

[jagged wyvern]

alr

[vital quail]

Someone earlier said that worked for them

[jagged wyvern]

ty ty

[keen remnant]

wait whats changed as of the last couple weeks lmao.. havent been on.

[modest fable]

is m1 garand out

does portal up battlepass?

[fervent rose]

"I'm not a fan of games with overly high TTK" 2042 doesnt have an overly high ttk. seriously just say you cant aim and want easy kills, i'd respect that

[acoustic seal]

i wanna watch these guys flounder in something like planetside where you're pushing 8-10 btk depending on distance

died 2022 born 2024, welcome back overpowered boris turret

[next onyx]

Could try for tier 1 crawford and boris that way.

[pearl ridge]

Ugh El Alamein is fucking awful

Just a dogshit map

It was bad then and it’s bad now

[next onyx]

Battlefield hardcore just doesn't work due to the angles you can die from.

[pearl ridge]

New menu music kind of evokes BFV.

[next onyx]

Cods works much better due to proportional ttk and just better foundation.

[eager spire]

it's still not really hardcore

because it's not hard at all

it's arguably easier

[viral mica]

Are they not doing a skin of the hockey-style mask?

[viral mica]

what do you mean?

[fervent rose]

battlefield hardcore is simply who can abuse the best 1 shot guns from the best rat angles. when you make a semi auto gun like the SVK into a 1 shot the entire balancing of the game goes to complete shit. and 2042's maps are especially bad for hardcore because they are gigantic

[next onyx]

I don't think that's the point?

[fervent rose]

the name has always been bs

it's for immersion andy's

calling it "instagib no hud" would confuse them

[next onyx]

I always just viewed it as oh yeah you can die instantly and a different style of playing with limited HUD made it distinct enough to call it hardcore.

I dunno why i mained hardcore on bo2.

[fervent rose]

it kinda made more sense in cod because you couldnt rat abuse really

not like you can in an avg bf map

[leaden lava]

Whats ARMYSQUAD user id?

[royal swan]

They cooked with the night mode for El alamein

Still a dogshit map tho

[royal swan]

My fucking God the ram is AIDS on hardcore

Easy 68 kill of my life

I was farming

Also the 2x scope on the garand is terrible

Don't use it

[upbeat sand]

Standard Reminds me of bf4 maps cause it's basically just tanks standing on a far away point shooting stuff and everyone is too afraid to actually push so they just get in the passenger seats as well

[wise heath]

TAKE THE AEK OUT OF HARDCORE

ITS RUINING THR GAME

[eager spire]

why is it the AEK specifically.

i feel like any gun would be really strong in Hardcore due to how it works, and there are multiple 2042 weapons that are better than the Portal AEK, the AEK isn't even anywhere near being a good gun, let alone broken. So why is it the AEK specifically that's ruining hardcore? @wise heath

I feel like Hardcore is more likely to be ruining the game than the AEK.

[vital quail]

Because it's a skill issue

[eager spire]

having a skill issue in hardcore is impressive

[royal swan]

These ass sights on the garand makes me wanna toggle crosshair x to fucking use it properly

[eager spire]

our boys in the trenches of WW2 shot a whole battalion's worth of [GERMAN SOLDIERS] using those sights!

I have just realized that the redaction makes the statement a lot more awkward.

there we go

[pearl ridge]

All this blatant BFV asset reuse and they won’t port over the actually good maps from it

[eager spire]

which ones

[pearl ridge]

1942’s map design was never all that good to begin with and largely relied on hardware limitations to remain playable

[eager spire]

yeah

[pearl ridge]

Like draw distance fog so you don’t have tanks camping a kilometre away

I have never seen a map so flat and open

Not even Galicia in 1 was this flat and that was a realistic depiction of the Eastern European steppe

[eager spire]

I still hate Soissons.

[strange tiger]

Hardcore mode is funny

Happy Halloween

a lot of new guys join this game recently

they get in the right time

[pearl ridge]

Circle of Hell certainly describes the El Alamein experience

[royal swan]

Fuck yeah I finally got a bomber drone kill with an RPG. Im dogshit at aiming the RPG so this shit was pure fucking luck.

[pearl ridge]

For gods sake isn’t there supposed to be at least one populated server somewhere

DICE’s matchmaking has always been terrible and they wilfully decided to make it the only option

[fresh lintel]

People consider the AEK bad?

[eager spire]

just that one guy

[fresh lintel]

Like I know it terrorized 2 big games and then some but like.. 🤭

Oh one guy? Okay.

Thing has like a 0.2 TTK or some nonsense if you land headshots. Its not gonna do great in Hardcore because it lacks the range lmao

[vital quail]

Every time I've gone to play 64 instead of 128, which is like 5 times the past few months

I always get a portal map

Shit maps

[wise heath]

That’s all I see pekple use

[eager spire]

to be frank i don't believe you

i think you have a problem.

[strange tiger]

do you guys communicate with strangers in the game?

[primal breach]

guys, how come my bf2042 i bought on steam is seen on the ea app but bf5 the ea app doesnt see that its installed

[strange tiger]

Is your ea related to your steam?

[primal breach]

i have bf5 on steam but the ea app says its not installed and it wont launch so i tested bf2042 and it works

[strange tiger]

launch bf5 on steam

[primal breach]

thats what ive been doing, but it wont launch because the stupid ea app doesnt see it as installed

ive already done all this verify and repair app thing

[strange tiger]

use ea to scan your hard drive

[primal breach]

how do you do that?

[strange tiger]

I don't remember much

you could google it

[wise heath]

I do like getting sniped across from the map from bots using svk

[strange tiger]

🥹

[eager spire]

are you immersed yet

[wise heath]

the only realism I wanted was uniforms

not dying to one shot no matter the gun

[eager spire]

what, you don't like getting killed in one shot by everything?

[strange tiger]

svk can’t be dying to one shot

[fresh lintel]

SVK is the original G4.

Also the fact that we have a last gen version which causes terrain rendering issues as bad as Planetside that causes you to literally hit said wall despite it not being real is uh

Fun. So fun.

[wise heath]

Basically makes every gun an aek

[eager spire]

the AEK never killed in one shot, dingus

[wise heath]

shoot so fast it might as well

[eager spire]

plus there are several 2042 weapons that are better than the AEK, this has already been explained to you multiple times.

[strange tiger]

What kind of gun can be killed with two shots?
no need to hit the head

[royal swan]

Man this hardcore experience is so damn easy

[eager spire]

hardcore is always easy

[royal swan]

Baby's battlefield

[fervent rose]

softcore

[strange tiger]

lol

[royal swan]

I'll never take a hardcore player seriously when they think that hardcore is hard. It never was or will ever be, it's for babies who can't play normal bf because they're asscheaks

[eager spire]

the only thing hardcore does is make the gameplay even less balanced.

[royal swan]

Also it completely fails on making this game immersive

2042 has no immersion and is impossible to make it immersive

[eager spire]

well yeah, because theres a lot more to doing that than just removing the hud and making everyone die really quickly.

[fervent rose]

removing hud in a game with clones on both sides

why even

[royal swan]

Past bf games especially bf 1 does well with immersion and can be a appealing experience with no hud

But 2042? Hell no

[strange tiger]

ture

[eager spire]

i mean i'd argue that's the only appeal of BF1 because it's pretty ass if you actually wanna play the game

[wise heath]

Yeah the appeal is ww1

slash

[fervent rose]

it's pretty army men

[wise heath]

finally a non modern warfare game

[void gorge]

That's why, fortunately, the developers put this event in a separate mode because if it were in the main mode, the game would probably lose even more players because not everyone likes to play the way the developers want

[fervent rose]

circle of hell was too real

[royal swan]

Not really the mode but how the game plays in general

[strange tiger]

if bf5 is finished, it’ll be funny

[royal swan]

Like it's janky

[fervent rose]

i agree pretty much everything feels like a downgrade compared to bfv when it comes to the core moving and aiming

[royal swan]

Hopefully they'll get that shit fixed in the next game

[void gorge]

Did you say, for example, about the game servers being closed? Because depending on your answer, I think it will take many years for this to happen. Because a lot of people still play it and even I think O BF 5 is better than 2042 in some areas, such as optimization

[royal swan]

Unlike 2042 they have or should have an idea of what to make

[eager spire]

maybe they will. but then again you have people that think there is nothing wrong.

or that it got fixed

so

[fervent rose]

yeah nobody complains about the inertia shit in 2042

i am not a fan

[fresh lintel]

On god if the next title has fucking A.I in normal matches i'm not touching it.

[eager spire]

Leviiathan is typing up an essay, you good?

[strange tiger]

I mean, game content. It's obvious that it hasn't been completed yet

[fervent rose]

and it will never be completed

[eager spire]

BFV won't ever be completed, they already cancelled future content for it.

[abstract night]

I usually start typing up a response or my thoughts to certain messages then I second guess if I even want to bother lol

[eager spire]

I see

[fresh lintel]

Last gen is really just a test of patience and will and its genuinely starting to push its fucking luck.

[vital quail]

New bf4 content when

[fresh lintel]

Bf4 content but its just removing locker

[vital quail]

Nothing of value would be lost

[fresh lintel]

This is the way

[void gorge]

If anyone could answer a question, please, right now I'm on YouTube. I'm watching a video of Brazilians playing the new event and most of the time the guy is flying that plane that drops a bomb, but at one point in the video he says that apparently this jet is the only vehicle in the game that you can't get out of, I'd like to know why

[vital quail]

Classic tk

[dusty elm]

I haven't played the game in about 2 years came back today & I keep getting blue screen pc restarts. I noticed the cpu is the hitting %100 then crashes with blue screen. Win10/Intel i7-10700k/RTX3080/32gb ram. I have added the user.cfg file with the correct cpu core settings. It slighly helped but still keeps receiving blue screen. Is the game not compatible with my system hardware?

[mental finch]

You have a more powerful system than me and I run it pretty okay, so this seems weird

Maybe try getting Windows 11?

When that dropped, I had issues with Bf2042 that went away after I installed it

[dusty elm]

I played this game 2 years ago with the same hardware no problems never

[dusty elm]

so in other words the game is not compatible with my system

I am going to uninstall the game, thanks for the info

[mental finch]

Well idk if you played it 2 years ago with no issues, this was around launch time of the game when I downloaded Windows 11

So idk, this just seems like a weird bug

If you have the patience to uninstall and reinstall, maybe try that

[dusty elm]

i had no issue at launch time

[fervent rose]

doubtful, you probably can find a workaround

[dusty elm]

I can't even change the resolution to windowed 2160x1440 it opens a small window, it's weird. One last time I try to re-insatall if the problem stays its done.

bbl, thanks.

[lilac dust]

Amazing. The last content update for the game is here and specialist skins still revert to default sometimes

Or is this mode just forcing default skins?

[fervent rose]

you can limit cpu usage in user config if nothing else works @dusty elm

[dusty elm]

ok

[lilac dust]

Can you not use skins in the new mode?

[pine roost]

It’s considered an unmanned drone, technically speaking you are controlling it remotely and not actually piloting it, hence when you ‘get out’, you actually just self destruct

[mental finch]

For me it's forcing new skins I haven't seen before

[pine roost]

It’s because of its uniform colouring preset, one team is given the red and blue preset and the other I believe was a sort of green and blue

[mental finch]

Understood, and it's just for hardcore anyway

Which sorta makes sense

[pine roost]

Tbh I could see it being a test for the next game

[mental finch]

Same with the weapon locked classes tbh

[pine roost]

A way to allow for skins but actually make it possible to deduce who is on what side

[mental finch]

Which I much prefer

Though, man, like with BFV it's still sad to me that they gave the Medic SMGS and made Assault into its own class again. I really liked it when they had it to where there was no straight assault class, and they were all team based to some degree, even Recon with the spawn beacons.

[lilac dust]

I was standing behind a boris. He had his back facing me. He was pointing a launcher at a jet. When he fired the rocket it backfired into me and killed me......

[pine roost]

Ha

[void gorge]

But the self-destruction of the vehicle is illogical because for example when you fire Liz's missile and if at some point you press to leave that television where you control the missile it will not self-destruct and I took the missile as an example because I think it is a piece of equipment similar to this drone

[pine roost]

The missile does self destruct

Besides, whether it does on the missile doesn’t matter

They chose to do this for the bomber, so deal with it

[lilac dust]

Those fire circles at objectives. New with the gamemode right? Honestly dont know of bulge or alemain had em before

[pine roost]

Yeah it’s a reference to firestorm

[arctic grove]

whats the best all round weapon and the best attachments for it

[ornate crag]

it depends what you mean by « all round »

Long-mid-short distance ?

[burnt crow]

yo guys how can I share the clip in clip-screenshot section? does it require role lvl or smth?

[pine roost]

Don’t know myself to be honest. Used to put clips in here before the takeover

[burnt crow]

I think i'll get ban if I put link here:D

just made a montage, wanted to ask opinions/suggestions, new to this

[pine roost]

Oh wait you just need to get the role for it

[burnt crow]

Oh i figured out, need to take a role for that

Yup

[haughty lichen]

I’m finna start playing battlefield

But irl

[pine roost]

Wouldn’t recommend it

[pearl ridge]

God these two maps SUCK

2042’s shit gameplay and 1942’s outdated map design really make for a bad combination

[naive ember]

[void gorge]

You said in the final that they chose to do it for the bomber but I didn't understand so if you could explain it better I would appreciate it but if you don't want that's fine

[naive ember]

You're like the 1st dude that complained about it and usually come in here complaining like a baby

[pearl ridge]

Dasher can you stop eating the game disc for a second and actually think

These maps are ridiculously flat

[naive ember]

I played it last night on hardcore it was fun, not as fun as BT on the regular but still

[pearl ridge]

Because 1942 is from a time where complex level geometry was flat out impossible

And 2042 has stupid long engagement distances

This results in every firefight taking place over a hundred metres at least and it rapidly becoming impossible for one team to even break into points because they’re all getting killed before they can get close

Every single match I’ve seen has been a stomp

And to top it all off I can’t even be impressed with the graphics because this ‘night’ lighting is dogshit

Just fucking ugly

[fervent rose]

the skeleton crew guy worked very hard !

[mental finch]

I just wish it would let me play on El Alamein, I've gotten that map twice now lmao

[fervent rose]

but seriously if circle of hell is the quality level dice is operating on these days, good luck on the next game

[pine roost]

uniform colours are cool but the mode is the most boring thing i've played yet

might actually do a case study on it

[pearl ridge]

These maps were never designed to be played with these weapons or vehicles

Portal was dead on arrival because they chose the worst maps of each game

[mental finch]

I wanted to love Cricle of Hell, I thought the updates to the maps would be a bit more substantial ngl

[fervent rose]

the simple fact that someone thought it'd be a good idea to bring them back is wildly stupid

[mental finch]

Like, more cover really would have been nice lmao

[naive ember]

You know man players like you and Tano are so ungrateful

It's pathetic

[fervent rose]

why would i be grateful

[pearl ridge]

Dasher I would be banned for a week if I told you what I really think

[naive ember]

Cause we got some awesome content

[fervent rose]

uhh yeah

[mental finch]

This game came out unfinished and we literally missed out on DLC cause they had to finish it, I don't see why we should be grateful

[naive ember]

Let's hear it bud

[fervent rose]

sure thing

[pine roost]

We know that these limited modes are often just pitches that individuals make as a concept, so this could just be one person’s idea over a whole team’s vision

[fervent rose]

i'd be grateful of dice if they could actually finish a product on release

[mental finch]

I'm glad they didn't let the game completely die, but goddamn if this doesn't feel a bit like too little too late

Oh cool, you actually separated classes... in a contained event mode

[naive ember]

Yeah enjoy it

[mental finch]

See, I would, but I'm not even really hardcore guy, would've been cool if all of circle of hell did the separated classes, if you wanna make an event more centered around tactics... grow some balls and commit

[fervent rose]

its like they designed a mode just to piss me off

[spare quest]

[fervent rose]

my personal hell

[naive ember]

I'm glad thats how you feel

[mental finch]

I think I'd actually like the Hardcore Mode as the base thing if it had a normal HUD and hitmarkers. Some people really don't like that TTK, but I'm okay with it personally.

[fervent rose]

you're not but for some reason you need to tell me that

[mental finch]

Man, Redacted on Hardcore is gonna be something

Idk if that something will be fun and enjoyable at all

But it will be something

[naive ember]

What can go wrong?

[mental finch]

I'm just wondering how many times I'm gonna see "sorry for the TK" in chat on that map lmao

[naive ember]

Stop jumping infront of me

[pine roost]

It won’t be

It’s always ironic to me how hardcore ends up feeling easier than the base game despite its name

In regular you do what you should be doing in hardcore, just faster. Aim is less important, the damage means that you don’t need to carefully move to get into range at all

This kind of shooter design is meant to be about using allies to cover angles and control space, but it’s forgetting that allies don’t work together in battlefield most of the time

[dull crag]

Is there chance battlefield 2042 will still get offline mode?

[arctic grove]

All round meaning all categories

[tawny carbon]

https://x.com/bfbulletin/status/1851377425327759795?s=46

Battlefield Bulletin (@BFBulletin) on X

EA CEO Andrew Wilson says you should expect more "key developments and news" around their massive online communities including #Battlefield in the coming quarters.

Via EA Q2 2025 Earnings Call.

Twitter · Oct 29, 2024, 9:35 PM

we gotta wait till Q2 2025 now for more news

[void gorge]

Apparently not due to the fact that this game doesn't have a story mode for example Since its launch

[tacit sphinx]

i dont know if thats what thats saying

its via the 2025 q2 earnings call but i think that just happened - EA fiscal year starts in april so we’re at the end of Q2 now

i think 2025 means FY2024-25?

[tawny carbon]

Prob… still we gotta wait

Hoping late this year or early next year

[naive ember]

In 2 years is good

[lusty vector]

then could you please ellobarate on as a game designer, what they were aiming for?

[hazy coral]

I heard that 2042 has some things from old bfs?

in portal ig

[tawny carbon]

That is true. Small bits of past games

[hazy coral]

where?

[tawny carbon]

In a mode called Portal

[patent pivot]

just letting you know

portal does not have all 100% old content

[tawny carbon]

That’s why I said this @patent pivot

[copper acorn]

[ionic brook]

Doubt it

[patent pivot]

things will be very, very painful if they do not restore past content to the game right before game server die

[ionic wolf]

Some1 here who’s playing on ps5 and maybe not with a monitor?

Just hopped back into the game after like a year of not playing and everything feels so weird when playing on a relatively big tv

Just want to know if some settings can be tweaked to make it a bit more enjoyable playing sniper

[tawny carbon]

No battlefield game have a offline mode set for campaign

[ionic brook]

Has anyone played the CoH event yet?

Since the matchmaking is broken, playing the same map repeatedly isn’t fun. Having an hour run or ~1500 tickets is way too long to populate back to the pre-lobby and most likely land on the same map again.

[naive ember]

That never happened to me bud

It's broken on your end apparently

[hazy coral]

can I somehow change that shield to something else for support class?

[ionic brook]

They should revisit some of the past super successful titles and remaster those, Battlefield 3, Bad Company, etc…
This would be a guaranteed influx of revenue.

[acoustic seal]

old stuff on the new engine doesn't play well, look at portal

[pine roost]

They’ll remaster the games, change their mechanics and systems and wonder why they aren’t selling

I fear that exact thing will happen with the ac black flag remake

[mental finch]

I don't think this is true, I know that 1942 did

I'm unsure about BF2, but I'm pretty sure it also had the AI offline mode

[mental finch]

Unless you're lying, then you're just an extremely lucky player who has a different experience than 90% of the player base, because map rotation loops is one of the most common criticisms with this game

And with Circle of Hell, I keep getting Battle of the Bulge

[fickle tide]

i think ill stick with bfv cause 2042 is not making numbers even while being -92% lol

[mental finch]

Have you played BFV before, do you know whether or not you like it?

[fickle tide]

no

[mental finch]

If not, id say do a bit of research cause that game was plenty divisive on its own. It doesn't have 3D spotting, and the TTK is really fast. I think it's really good though, the hate was really silly for the most part

[ripe minnow]

Why there no badge for Circle of Hell? I look in badges season section

[mental finch]

There is, I think it's called sacrifice

Someone posted it in here earlier

[ripe minnow]

I dont see it bc I'm on xbox

[mental finch]

.

Oh wait duh that's just a player card

You were saying badges, my b I'm stupid

[ripe minnow]

Yeah season badges

[spare quest]

because its an event and not a season

[mental finch]

Oh yeah that'll do it

[ripe minnow]

oh Now understand

[naive ember]

Season 7.5

[ripe minnow]

Wish there was badge for it

[fickle tide]

i have plenty of hours on bf1 and barely saw any 3d spotting

i dont think ill feel much of a difference on bfv

[mental finch]

It's there though, that's just people not using the feature, but yeah if you don't care about that then it won't matter

[fickle tide]

and ttk is also fast on bf1 with some meta weapons everyone uses so i suppose its the same on 5

[mental finch]

It's way faster in BFV tbh

Pop Pop dead

[fickle tide]

wym people not using the feature

[mental finch]

If you don't see 3D spotting, that's because people aren't spotting

[fickle tide]

but when i spot them they dont have 3d spotting anyways

[mental finch]

They do, it's the Icon above their head

[fickle tide]

wait really

i thought by 3d spotting you meant that they have like a red outline around their character

[mental finch]

Yeah, that's called 3D spotting, I think it's because you can see it through objects and stuff

[tawny carbon]

From last gen to current gen. I don’t they will ever support offline modes excluding campaign.

[mental finch]

In BFV it's a marker that stays in one place unless you're using specific abilities that let you spot

[fickle tide]

nah u cant see it through walls and shit its only if the person is right before you

[fickle tide]

that sounds like ass

[mental finch]

Like I said, very divisive

They brought that over to 2042 and changed it back to normal spotting

[fickle tide]

i dunno then

[fickle tide]

4,79 is very tempting

i think even a few cents cheaper than bfv during black friday

[mental finch]

This is kind of misleading, cause while it's technically in BFV if you're using specific ass things, I'd count it with heroes tbh

Oh, though, I guess the marker system is still technically spotting

So

[fickle tide]

how is the character customization in bfv tho

i heard they had like agents crap

[mental finch]

I actually think the character customization is great

You can change your whole outfit, pants, shirt, and hats individually

[fickle tide]

didnt they have characters with their own name and unique model

[mental finch]

You can create a face or anything, but there's plenty of presets

[mental finch]

Yeah, but there's enough to choose from where I was fine

[tawny carbon]

Misleading still?

[mental finch]

No, I realized that it wasn't really misleading

[fickle tide]

they are called elites right

do they cost money

[mental finch]

Oh yeah, those are the speciality characters where you can't change their outfits. Yeah, they do cost money, I think there may be a couple that are free? I can't really remember cause I never used them

I sorta misunderstood what you meant, cause all the playable characters in BFV have unique names and stuff

[fervent rose]

i think they were given away but idk if new accounts get them still. you can either use a regular guy and mix and match options or use the dumb elite guys

imo its gunter gang or bust

[fickle tide]

https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Elite_Classes_of_Battlefield_V

[fickle tide]

whats that

[mental finch]

He's just one of the random guys that you can play as

[fervent rose]

gunter is one of the normal dudes

hes also on the ally side with a different name

[mental finch]

I use him as well

[fervent rose]

gunter gang

[mental finch]

I have all of my classes set up as different character with different clothes

Pretty neat

[fervent rose]

same

[mental finch]

Wish you could change the outfits in the same way with 2042, it's almost the same thing, but it's just limiting enough to be annoying

[fervent rose]

bfv's customization was very ass at the beginning but it turned out pretty cool

once enough sets released you could actually look like a ww2 soldier

[mental finch]

I'm really glad I got this game a year after launch man lmao

[fervent rose]

and im talking free sets

i never spent a penny on bfv skins

[fickle tide]

alright so which one should i get bfv or bf2042

[fervent rose]

bfv is pretty dead in NA

[mental finch]

I love the winter maps outfits

Trench coats everywhere

[fervent rose]

i like the japanese trench one a lot

[fickle tide]

im EU

[mental finch]

It's okay, we've got like ... what, 3 or 4 servers with decent ping that are always around lmao

Yeah no it's pretty dead

[fervent rose]

it's not actually dead, just very limited

[mental finch]

It's sad cause it was super not dead like last year

[fervent rose]

and theres still cheaters in V whereas they arent really a thing in 2042

[mental finch]

How is BF1 doing?

[fickle tide]

but is it dead in europe though

[slate rover]

BF2MC Halloween event this weekend come check it out

[mental finch]

Is it still the most active?

[fickle tide]

in pc not a chance

[fervent rose]

@fickle tide i dont live there but eu is always bigger than NA for bf

[mental finch]

It was for a while

[fickle tide]

last year it rose to like 30k players but nowadays it like 5k-10k

[fervent rose]

at least on pc, the bf fanbase in eu is way bigger

[mental finch]

Like for the first year and a half of 2042, BF1 was the most active

But that was a while ago now lmao

[fickle tide]

id say on pc the most active one rn is bfv and thats why i wanna buy it

hopefully this black friday the playerbase rises like it did last year and sweats are less noticable

[mental finch]

I wish BF4 didn't die, some of the bigger servers shut down and it took a major hit in NA

[fickle tide]

well you still got bots

[mental finch]

RIP WHG Metro 24/7

Not in BF4

[fickle tide]

warsaw revamped

[fervent rose]

if the bots are anything like VU's bots that'll be a snoozefest

the vu bots made 2042 ai look great

[mental finch]

Oh that's not good lmao

I'll give it to the sniper AI in 2042, them bitches do be getting you out of nowhere

[vocal tusk]

I did, literally right below the comment you replied to.

[naive ember]

They aren't bitches

[ornate crag]

Yes I know that sorry if you misunderstood my question but I asked that cuz I think not everyone has the same definition for « all round » (some ppl prefer short-fast combat when others dont) 😔

[arctic grove]

which battlefield is best to play rn for all out warfare style? i have ea play and i am playing bf2042 rn but idk if its the best one to play

[naive ember]

2042

BT is the best mode

Don't play CQ if you expect intense action

[void gorge]

If you are referring to that mess on the map then you can play Conquest 128 mode without using the portal because in the portal there are people who manage the servers and then they generally place limitations that I personally don't like

[arctic grove]

ive been really enjoying conquest 128 tbh

whats bt?

[naive ember]

Breakthrough

[hoary sentinel]

Thats not at all what he said

[hushed lark]

I find the vehicle combat to be more fun on conquest but that might just be me

[void gorge]

I'm here with the game open and the flashpoint map appeared and in the map's introduction a female voice talks about a certain Oz and says that if you find this guy you have to capture him dead or alive and also The introduction talks about the factory and rocket, but the reality of the map is just kill or be killed and taking and losing flags, so the developers could make an event where it actually comes true, and obviously do something well structured because then the game would probably take advantage of its player count on Steamdb For example

[glass imp]

errm

[hoary sentinel]

Yeah, they're saying if you find oz, but its not an objective.

its just subtle nodding that there are strings being pulled behind the scenes, if you paid attention to the lore you'd know that

[hazy coral]

What is portal and how does it work?

[naive ember]

I am oz

You will never find me

I have 64 bodyguard sweats

[midnight pulsar]

Should i buy 2042 now for 5 euro

[naive ember]

[hoary sentinel]

indeedily

[fickle wharf]

[acoustic seal]

saw a reddit post yesterday begging for the playercount required for match start to be lowered

game is alive and thriving tho

1 battlefieldillion players on console

[naive ember]

[opaque shoal]

Do bots fill the rest or just go with the min?

[acoustic seal]

they didn't say

[royal swan]

Just went up against flex lane

Got a really good kill on him by somehow baiting him into a latv full of c5

Also a lot of lobbies are dead as fuck

What's the playercount

[void gorge]

But wouldn't you want there to be an event where it wouldn't just be strings being pulled behind the scenes? If you say no then you're probably lying.

[opaque shoal]

There's lore? (serious)

[spare quest]

yes

[ionic brook]

Why not? It is pretty fun, still some bugs, hit detection issues, match making problems, but worth €5

[opaque shoal]

I know the no-pat intro thing

[void gorge]

The bad thing is that apparently there is no resource for us to see how many players play a game on consoles because you stated that there are around 1kk

[opaque shoal]

Agreed. Well, well worth $8/€5

I'm on PS5 though typically a PC gamer

EA's stupid account bindings

[spare quest]

https://theexodusarchives.com/welcome have fun reading

[opaque shoal]

Thanks!

[ionic brook]

A mechanism of the game no one uses, they don't want to give the kill to someone closer when they can shoot them across the map with an ACWR.

[opaque shoal]

I use it a ton. I play engineer with Avancys or sniper

[tawny carbon]

Everyone uses it. 3D spotting gets used from many different resources.

[opaque shoal]

I wish more did

[tawny carbon]

And what does spotting have to do with a gun. That makes no sense

[opaque shoal]

Just added personal detail. Unrelated

[ionic brook]

I do, too. I’ve proven how the game is supposed to work by placing in the top position on a match running Falck by doling out ammo, health, reviving, and spotting. I only had 9 kills.

[opaque shoal]

I'm loving CoH hardcore mode. Wish there were more maps

[naive ember]

Someone said redacted

[lusty vector]

game broekn ,cant play, lagging like hell.

[naive ember]

[lusty vector]

thanks you for the event again

thats why i spend my hard earned money for this stupid franchise man.

after 2 decade

this is what i get back from them

[naive ember]

EA is king

Bend the knee

[lusty vector]

i love EA, i would lay down my life for them just to spit me back to life, and chocke me to death again. so lovely. bad at launch, spent 70 euro back then, couldnt play for more than 9 months w/o. with exhausitn gall available troubleshooitng. after 1.5 yrs, game becomes playable at least.

and then here it comes the saga part 2.

a 'small' unoiptimized event, and my game is broken again.

Windowns reainstalled, drivers updated, fresh clean state on my ssd, literally only EA app and the game were installed. and here we are.

as soon as i join a game, its unplayable as i have so many lagg and stuff...

for the love of god, please. im begging ALL of you here. dont pre order the next battlefield. for real. im begging you.

and i was literally playing last night, but now all of the sudden doesnt work...

[ionic brook]

A last-second addition of points: if you're looking at an enemy when the victory/defeat banner pops up, turn to them and hit the spot for a last-minute bump of 6xp

[opaque shoal]

Thanks!

Working on this stupid Boris skin

[ionic brook]

Remind me? I have the PS4/5 Platinum trophies, so I haven't really worried about other “prizes.”

Boris Skin?

[abstract night]

It’s time to find other games, franchises or perhaps entire genres to play to entertain yourself with. It’s what I’m doing as of recent with how awful EA, Ubisoft and Activisions studio projects tend to be, publishers and studios both have some responsibility for how these games come out

Like, I’m totally okay with just switching to PC milsims if that’s what I gotta do to find a decent FPS game nowadays

[hoary sentinel]

We know Oz, the easter eggs before the season containing Flashpoint literally had us working with him. Why would we be moving to capture or kill someone we are in allegiance with? So no, I would not want a nonsensical event like that.

[glass imp]

I don’t think tad knows Oz.

[prisma tusk]

What EXACTLY is the point of taking an RPG to counter a tank if it takes 20 rockets to take it out?

[eager spire]

i mean i don't think i could blame him for not knowing Oz.

who pays attention to the lore of this game anyway.

[wise heath]

It is? Always struggling to find matches

[dawn drum]

I think this event also work as a little sandbox for the next game , no sliding , no ''tactical run'' , I mean , maybe they are getting some inspiration from these milsim games , idk , maybe I'm just crazy

[acoustic seal]

(that is the joke)

[wise heath]

Oh? Sorry

[abstract night]

No you may be correct. I can’t comment on it because I haven’t played 2042 in almost 2 yrs now but from what I hear it is more grounded and tactical in some ways. It could definitely be indicative of where DICE wants to go with the next Battlefield game. In my opinion a good balance between grounded movement but some fast paced options is best to appease both sides of that debate

[pine roost]

It’s hardly tactical

[wise heath]

I rather run fast than have bunch of atvs around

[dawn drum]

Yeah , I actually like BFV movimentation , I wouldn't complain if it was like that , I just don't want a crazy move and shoot like COD

[pine roost]

If it wants to be more of a tactical shooter it would need to severely change its fundamentals

[dawn drum]

I think it needs a balance

[eager spire]

no

whoever told you it was more tactical and grounded was very blatantly lying to you.

[abstract night]

As much as I hate BFVs slide that’s my only gripe with that games movement, the rest I wish stayed

[wise heath]

storm last night even tho October

wtf 2042 was right

[eager spire]

BFV's slide was fine

[wise heath]

did you play bf modern combat?

[pine roost]

Battlefield has predicted so many events it’s kinda crazy

[eager spire]

I'm not over the age of 40 so no i haven't.

[abstract night]

Is it literally just hardcore, idk I’m genuinely curious what it actually does to the game

[wise heath]

Ah sad

looking at gameplay of it, looks fun for the time

[eager spire]

it is just hardcore

[dawn drum]

Yeah , but like cod , jumping/sliding with a freaking RPG 360 trickshot is just lol , I don't want this

[eager spire]

literally nothing to write home about

[pine roost]

in the wrong franchise then

[eager spire]

when the arcade shooter is arcadey

[pine roost]

it's trailer had someone blowing up a jet after ejecting from it with a handheld rocket launcher, so

[abstract night]

I see

I’m probably just reading people’s opinions of it being tactical or grounded from the fact that in hardcore you die in 0.1 shots so fair enough

[dawn drum]

Ino

like

imagine

bf 2042

[eager spire]

No.

[dawn drum]

with bo6

movements

its too much

IMO

[eager spire]

why would it be too much?

[pine roost]

it's trying to I guess, but it's realising that battlefield just doesn't support that kind of playstyle without significant changes

[dawn drum]

i think it is too fast for a battlefield

[pine roost]

stuff like uniform colouring and weapon restrictions however, that sort of stuff is very interesting to see

[vital quail]

When the hardcore mode plays like hardcore

[wise heath]

instead you can 360 off a cliff, use a wingsuit to glide to a vehicle, land on it, drop keep stuff and kaboom

[dawn drum]

Hell yeah

lol

[eager spire]

why?

why is it too fast for Battlefield?

[abstract night]

Simple solution: never bring non-pickup wingsuits or grapples back

[pine roost]

honestly i'm down for that regardless

it breaks map flow so much it's crazy

[wise heath]

yeah wingsuits or cool

[hoary sentinel]

1400 hours btw

[wise heath]

there is a reason why the trailer starts with a wingsuit

[dawn drum]

I thinks it is just a personal opnion for the game , that thing off sliding after 2 seconds on cod , I don't like too much

I really love

COD

[pine roost]

they definitely are cool, but I wouldn't sacrifice game balance and consistency for something that is just cool

[dawn drum]

but i think it could be a bit less

as I said

balance is the key

[pine roost]

I always say I want a little something to give fights some dynamism and a little aim challenge, but not to the point where every fight feels the same or it gets too hectic

[wise heath]

I like the new movement in bo6, makes me feel like Max Payne, what I don’t like is the neet on the enemy team abusing it

[pine roost]

hence why I feel bf4, 2042 and v struck a good balance

[dawn drum]

yeah

[wise heath]

Unless you use certain portal guns, 2042 has no recoil

[abstract night]

As long as it’s casual enough where not every enemy I fight is flying across my screen or trying to break their hitbox then I’m okay

I love BF4, but it’s casual player base is largely long gone so it’s just the same people who’ve been playing since it came out who just SWEAT

[eager spire]

Consider this: What if you feeling like Max Payne, and the "neet on the enemy team abusing it", are just doing the same things?

is it abusing it if you die to it?

where do you draw the line here?

[wise heath]

When it comes to cod, it’s rarely an actual issue from the game, its just some tryhard that ruins the experience

[eager spire]

where do you draw the line though, if they're doing the same things that you can do?

[wise heath]

take it out of the game Treyarch

[eager spire]

Answer my question.

[wise heath]

my answer

I rather not have fun thing because sweat abuse it over finding some perfect balance

[eager spire]

that is not an answer, what is the difference between you wanting to feel like max payne, and the "neet on the enemy team abusing it"?

when does it stop being people having fun with the new movement, and when does it start being someone abusing it?

Does it start when you die?

Do you not like it when someone uses the same movement that you can use and wins?

[wise heath]

I think it’s funny when I die to someone doing max Payne side jumps

but don’t like it when slide to face

[eager spire]

Okay but you can slide as well. That's not abusing anything, that's just how the game works.

I think you just hate losing, and you wave it off as some neet abusing movement, even if that's not the case.

Probably also explains why you hate the AEK so much, despite much better weapons existing in the game.

You hate anything that kills you.

[dawn drum]

Local psychologist revisionist

[eager spire]

my diagnosis: mad cause bad.

treatment: get the fuck over yourself

that'll be $7,000

[dawn drum]

I'll pay it

imagine

the next battlefield game

is Hardline 2

hell yeah

[eager spire]

not gonna happen, Visceral is dead.

[dawn drum]

oh man

[tropic berry]

Lore Master?

[torpid wadi]

We would be so back

[void gorge]

But answer me one thing here, this character called oz is he fictional? Why depending on your answer then you are loyal to someone who doesn't exist

[void gorge]

I don't understand and that image on your profile, in this case in the photo, is a reference to a movie

[glass imp]

cmon tad

[hoary sentinel]

I never said he was real. In the lore of the game, the specialists we play as have a hand in assisting Oz with the Silverspear project, a satellite weather device that allowed him to create a place for all no pats to come and call home. I know it's hard for you to understand that the character you play as is not actually you, but cmon.

[next onyx]

I think tk is purposely dumb. But I see his gameplay and go ah yeah. He doesn't think.

[spare quest]

Where can i see his gameplay

[acoustic seal]

wait we have gameplay?

i need to know holy shit

[arctic grove]

Whats the best all round weapon good for long to mid distance that also shreds at close range?

[acoustic seal]

yeah you kinda do need something that works at every range all the time in this game

[hoary sentinel]

in bfee lmao

[spare quest]

huh

[acoustic seal]

the 2042 ARs like the m5 and scar are fine, 2042 barely has any recoil or spread

[spare quest]

I thought he already posted new stuff

[restive junco]

who wants to play i just started on xbox

[solid mesa]

if anybody wants me for their squad: im lvl 180 and good in every role besides support

[warm shard]

[vital mauve]

pretty fun game now but only games i get in are bf3 maps or games about to end :/

[echo yew]

yeah that’s the experience mostly

15-20 minutes looking for matches and only 2-3 minutes in actual gameplay

[vital quail]

Not everyone plays in south america

[echo yew]

That or getting into a match where the flow is already locked and then you get farmed for 10 minutes

Still a better experience than cod or other fps games rn

7/10

i should try and unlock tier 1 on the NTW

[wise heath]

Backrooms is kinda lame

[echo yew]

Holy shit nevermind this is psychological torture

[obsidian tide]

The answer is that Oz, according to Codex documents, is a real person.
||https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Loyiso_"Oz"_Okusanya_(Codex)||

While never physically appearing in cinematics, much like other players in the setting, he is there somewhere. Most significantly associated with Zain, Renewal, Flashpoint, Wolff (CIA, later FALT. Hostile), and having been the founder of Namaqualand as of 2048.

[obsidian tide]

Just quickscope or otherwise with a red dot.

Close range.

[hoary sentinel]

Thats what I'm sayin but he doesn't understand that the character has agency beyond the player in the lore

[vital quail]

No point in trying tbh

[hoary sentinel]

Real

[proper rune]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2f4p3_24EQ&t=1511s

[acoustic seal]

i'm thankful i have no idea what any of these have in common

[glass imp]

ok

[void gorge]

Apparently you never said that this story is not fictional but I said fiction because previously you argued that it basically makes no sense not to be loyal to this character and I just found it weird due to the fact that history is precisely fiction

[void gorge]

I find it curious that you judge me like this since several times in this chat in which I was discussing some things with other members I remember that you kept sending messages to tease me but these messages were not intelligent responses on your part

[hoary sentinel]

I never said it wasn't fictional. You don't even know what you're talking about, so I'm simply going to ask you to cease pretending you know what is going on in the game's lore and educate yourself via the games codex.

[distant bone]

just stop not tonight
tk, please stop picking weird hills to die on ...every day man
just have positive vibez

[hoary sentinel]

inb4 he asks you why you're telling him to die on a hill

[void gorge]

Thanks for the answer, but let's say it's satisfactory, but this character called oz I don't know, but as far as I know the other characters in the game are played by real people and I say this because recently, if I'm not mistaken, in a WhatsApp group I asked if the characters in the game are real or were they created in a fictional way and then someone from the group sent me a video which is on YouTube if I'm not mistaken in which it showed the real-life people who brought the characters in the game to life

[hoary sentinel]

So you believe they are real people?

[void gorge]

I not only believe it, but that's exactly what I said in my previous message

[hoary sentinel]

These jokes write themselves, guys

[vital quail]

Doesn't understand game mechanics

Never will understand lore

[hoary sentinel]

Doesnt understand what is real and not real, too. His words

[naive ember]

You're mistaken bud

[obsidian tide]

So, motion-capture and facial modeling and such?

[hoary sentinel]

Nah he means Oz really is running around out here

[obsidian tide]

Zain is one of Oz's most trusted subordinates, outside of the whole Exodus thing.

The Renewal and Flashpoint maps are set in the Richtersveld (Flashpoint is, at least), where Oz grew up and eventually founded Namaqualand. Flashpoint is also set in a Wellspring refinery complex.

Noah Wolff pretended to be an extremist as a CIA cover, gained Oz's trust, and trained him into a soldier. Much like his father, Oz later found out Wolff was CIA, realized that the mentor was just furthering US interests much like how Wellspring did in destroying the ecosystem to mine, and betrayed him.

Namaqualand is a No-Pat nation (ironic), and the product of Oz using a new Shearwater climate engineering satellite developed at Black Ridge and deployed in the Richtersveld over the course of Seasons 1-5 and the years they depict.

[obsidian tide]

He never got mo-capped or facially modeled. He only had voice portrayals, but yes, there is a living VA for him.

[hoary sentinel]

I'm aware, yes. Idk if we'll ever see him be mocapped or even have a face

[void gorge]

Exactly even in the video I saw these people who I don't know where they are from, in fact I don't remember the audition now because it's been a while since I saw the video but do you know during the match when your soldier says something? The video on YouTube showed the person in a type of studio recording the soldier's speech

[vital mauve]

who tf even is oz

[naive ember]

A wizard

[hoary sentinel]

Codex is your friend

[severe hill]

The great and powerful

[hoary sentinel]

Fuck it, thats Oz now

[placid echo]

I remember reading in one of the player cards that there were security guards armed with NTW-50s, which is a WILD gun to use for fucking security lol

oh, here they come.

[glass imp]

His name comes from the poem Ozymandias, not the Wizard of Oz.

[mighty holly]

Nuh uh

Wizard of oz predates that

[void gorge]

Can anyone tell me if, for example, when we use a silencer on a rifle and we shoot at an enemy who is really far away, the fact that the rifle has a silencer on it could end up reducing the damage it causes to the enemy? I ask this because I'm here on YouTube watching a video of a guy who is in a situation like this and he commented about it

[minor stream]

Go in the game and look at the “Range” stat when you do a Wrapped or 6KU suppressor

Bit more of a stimulating question: the wiki says light suppressor = minus 2 damage, while the heavy suppressors are minus 3. Is this truly what “Firepower -5” and “Firepower -10” equate to??

[dusty elm]

Hi All, Is anyone running the game on windows 10?

I have tried everything from the nvidia driver to installing a clean version of windows 10 I keep getting various blue screens when launching the game

I assume the game is not compatible with windows 10 anymore.

I give up!

[rich copper]

Can't launch the game, any help?

[hoary sentinel]

1400 hours and you dont know how damage falloff works

[white viper]

Hey guys, I have a BF game issue. Because i can not show you a screenshot here, here is the url: https://ibb.co/S5kDnpv
Is there some one who can help me out? Thank you

If i open the game, i get this error, and game get closed

i have rtx 3080, i7-13700k, 30gb and enough space on ssd

any thoughts?

[kindred flint]

lmao not dealing with a dumbass team that cant manage to keep caps on battle of the bulge, 1100-600 already no thanks

[shrewd reef]

are servers down?

[scenic bison]

Do i have to do circle of hell to complete weekly mission guys or i could just play other mode?

[vital quail]

Progress counts from any mode

[scenic bison]

Ohhh thx you

[scenic bison]

Check your ram for me it error so i have to buy a new one

[strange tiger]

Occasionally, I experience stuttering when I zoom in with the scope.

did you guys have this issue?

[severe hill]

Nope, but when I spawn in a tank, my turrent sutters and my screen is not sync with the turrent rotation in first person.

[strange tiger]

It’s so annoying, especially when someone is aiming at me at the same time

[fresh lintel]

I don't recall the Silencers actually reducing damage, and I would assume silencers reduce the effective range of a gun. Depending on the silencer.

[acoustic seal]

i don't remember what suppressors do, only that they were made useless after some patch

[fresh lintel]

Yeah pretty much. Like they're good in the sense that some dumbass without headphones is going to be oblivious to you.

But theyre bad because they still make you show up on the minimap.

Which anyone whos intelligent uses the minimap.

[vital quail]

I mean it says reduces effective range on the suppressor

I understand reading stuff in a game you play is hard for tk tho

[arctic grove]

Guys I'm playing bfv tomorrow, u should all do the same and play bf4 (way better than 2042) or bfv (also way better than 2042)

[fresh lintel]

Its not "Reading is hard" it straight up visually reduces the weapons damage in the weapon loadout screen.

Theyre asking if it reduces the damage by 2 or not. Which I don't think it does.

[opaque shoal]

Well I think I'm officially sick of the Circle of Hell but I finished the battle pass. Only 2 maps!! Wtf

[vital quail]

Tk wasn't the one who was questioning the damage numbers. He just doesnt understand damage fall off at long ranges

[left leaf]

this game makes me so unreasonably angry

can't see shit, can't hit anything somehow, getting mowed down from all sides 24/7
