Unlike UT4.

pastel tree
#

Neat

fresh lintel
#

Yeah when Fortnite took off they axed both Paragon and UT4 permanently.

At least they gave Paragon to another dev team which they now call it "Predecessor"

#

UT however is treated like a fucking prized slave and EPIC wont give it to anyone. No licensing or anything.

#

And thanks to their engine, Unreal Engine. They now have zero reason to make games again.

Unlike Valve I actually wish EPIC goes under.

white geyser
#

I need to start using the railgun again when I’m playing solo

pastel tree
#

Did they even play test that

Everyone having launchers was a disaster right? Who thought that was a good idea

eager spire
fresh lintel
eager spire
#

Just gave the owners of the website OldUnreal permission to host installers for both games on the website, comes with all the OldUnreal patches to make them playable on modern PC's.

#

So, that's cool at least.

fresh lintel
#

Also if its from GOG: I expect nothing less from GOG. Theyre good people.

#

But i'm pretty sure you cant buy any Unreal or UT on any other store.

#

Hell you CANNOT buy Unreal Championship on Xbox.

#

And yeah i'm not going to have any hope that EPIC is finally turning a new leaf with that. Ive genuinely lost all my faith in that company

arctic grove
#

they should add omni movement to battlefield

ivory canopy
#

God dammit EA DICE place me in a TDM where the match isn't almost over

fresh lintel
#

Its like the most useless feature in any game ive seen and its basically just saying "We want an Arena shooter but the kids dont know it yet"

ivory canopy
#

Jeez - first they remove persistent TDM then they bork the spawns.

arctic grove
fresh lintel
#

About it being a useless feature?

eager spire
#

Though lacking the ability to bhop limits possibilities.

#

and also jumpshotting sucks on KBM.

#

CoD is not even the first game to have the ability to sprint in any direction, Half Life 2 works like that.

fresh lintel
#

When it comes to a game like Battlefield? I don't think it'd be a good idea.

#

And yeah Half Life did it and thats fine.

#

Maybe side strafing I can see it being helpful or good. But backwards? Eeeeh.

#

I'd just rather not tbh.

#

Especially if we add sliding to the mix. Because if we can move one way and quickly do a slide another way then i'm just gonna start shotgunning.

eager spire
#

BF4 had airstrafing.

fresh lintel
#

Which I cant complain about considering the speed you naturally go

#

And also because i like my old school mechanics.

eager spire
#

I think BF4 was basically peak when it came to infantry movement.

#

Sliding was not technically a mechanic, but you could still slide across the floor if you landed from a jump while not holding any movement keys.

fresh lintel
#

I thought that was just done by sprint into prone? Because you DO some sort of slide like that

eager spire
#

you're probably thinking of like, going straight to prone next to a wall or something.

#

Which is not what i'm talking about.

fresh lintel
#

And yeah BF4 is pretty much how I picture Battlefield being forever in terms of movement.

Sliding in 5 was fucking silly and then they nerfed it in 42 and it became almost fucking unused.

#

And yeah maybe. I just know theres this weird fucky "slide" you can do

eager spire
#

BF1 was the start of sliding being a mechanic. It was good. And then they nerfed it so hard it's basically useless.

fresh lintel
#

I dont think I ever slid in BF1

#

I dont think I even knew there WAS a slide 😭

eager spire
#

well now you know

#

there was

#

there technically still is but there's no point to ever using it.

fresh lintel
#

I know in 5 you can slide into a jump which is.. Stupid. I dont like that game 🤭

eager spire
#

I mean, I don't think BFV was bad in terms of movement.

#

It was bad in terms of gunplay and other changes to mechanics that nobody asked for.

#

Nobody wanted Attrition.

fresh lintel
#

It did have fluid movement. I'll give it that. It was actually 10x better than CoDs.

eager spire
#

Nobody wanted Spread to Recoil Conversion.

fresh lintel
#

I did like the changes they did to LMGs. The one game where i'm actually accepting that I died to a LMG is when you cant fucking ADS them without bipods.

eager spire
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

I never really had a problem with LMG's

#

realistically they were slower AR's.

fresh lintel
#

My issue with them is that console is riddled with them.

#

You lose gunfights simply because they output more damage faster with less effort.

#

On PC i'm sure I could just beam a guy on the ground ezpz but on console you have to fight the aim assist, recoil, flinch.

#

Assuming your shots even register because the hitbox is so fucked and 90% of a player is gone.

I hate LMGs. And I hate Prone.

eager spire
#

I also hate prone, i think DICE was based in Bad Company 2 for not having it.

eager spire
fresh lintel
#

Yeah i'm cursed with not being able to play the objectively better platform so I got actual Dads to contend with and jesus christ.

#

They're fucking everywhere too.

eager spire
#

yeah at that point i'd just give up and not play battlefield on console

fresh lintel
#

I could literally be strolling around and theres one in a bush 200m away sniping me better than the guy with the M98 or SRR1

#

Funnily enough ive only ever played Battlefield on console 😭

eager spire
#

I used to play Battlefield on Console.

#

Like, Bad Company 2 and the BF3 Beta on 360.

fresh lintel
#

BF3 is when I started. I wasn't even in highschool yet so I kinda just dicked around more than I do now.

Like recon with soflam and STAFF shells or whatever on Caspian.

#

So many jets rammed me.

eager spire
#

I remember liking BF3 at some point.

#

I don't like it that much anymore.

#

It has not aged well at all.

fresh lintel
#

I played it not too long ago with the 360 version and the ximmers.. Jesus christ the ximmers.

#

Literally just instant 90 degree turns everywhere and beaming people.

Like I used to run high sens but to be able to accurately beam people needs so many micro adjustments on your end its basically just handicapping yourself

#

Also the second I found out ALL of my guns I owned including the black camo was gone despite me owning them I decided to immediately uninstall.

That and no one played on the DLC maps.

eager spire
#
  1. Please don't call me sir
  2. No.
fresh lintel
#

I uninstalled 2042 because last gen version is dead and filled with ximmers so no thanks

eager spire
#

No.

with all due respect you need to chill, you've @'d like 5 different people with that same message.

#

Me, Alt, vfc, clef, and icedemonslayer.

acoustic seal
#

not much, been stuck into atlyss since that's the one fun game release that's happened all year

pine roost
#

You play ghost on 2 machines at once? Impressive

fresh lintel
#

It you havent tried it yet but Risk of Rain is reasonably fun.

Assuming you like pain.

pine roost
#

I know it’s good but roguelikes are just kinda eh

#

Funny given my name comes from one

eager spire
fresh lintel
#

Anything besides Royales and Single Life ones.

#

Unless its a Rogue Like which Rogue likes are actually fun.

eager spire
#

because i like wolves.

pine roost
eager spire
#

i think wolves are cool

fresh lintel
#

Clan Wolf would approve

eager spire
pine roost
#

Am I bad for not knowing what that is

eager spire
#

I don't care

eager spire
fresh lintel
#

Its okay its kinda obscure knowledge and it became an even more obscure meme

pine roost
#

Wait what lol

fresh lintel
#

Wheres my kinder egg demon core picture..

pine roost
#

The hamster could be made out of it we don’t know

fresh lintel
#

The angry ball is 100% a demon core

eager spire
#

why are you telling me this.

pine roost
#

Ghost mode for this lil guy is demon mode

eager spire
#

why.

pine roost
#

‘I can’t say on here’ - proceeds to say what happened

naive ember

#

S22 is almost at a T1

eager spire
#

Why would you think I wanna know this?

naive ember
pine roost
#

Thats dasher’s signature line!

eager spire
#

@gilded goblet Control your fucking guy, dude.

ivory canopy
#

Got the T1 on the S22

#

Let's get the 12M outta the way

fresh lintel
#

You coulda T1'd the 12m in a week when redacted 24/7 was out

ivory canopy
#

True

#

LOL

#

That's how I T1'd the assault specialists

fresh lintel
#

Its how I T1'd the VHX. If I didnt save it for last I straight up could have done it in less than 24 hours 😭

pastel tree
#

What's with doodle and 2042

#

Is this a server inside joke

slow epoch
#

Is there any way to play other Servers on console ?

ivory canopy
#

Alright so the 12M is actually really congruent to my playstyle

eager spire
pastel tree
#

What's the best engi for anti armor? Using Lis or the extra rocket ammo guy?

fresh lintel
#

They joined the server today and I can only safely assume the second they got their roles they went on an at spree.

#

Crawford because RPG and AV nades > Lis in short term vehicle hunting.

fervent rose
fresh lintel
#

Lis is best in groups or when finishing off vehicles.

pastel tree
#

Thank you, good to know

#

I play engineer very little lol

fresh lintel
#

Yeah Crawfords easily the besf AV engineer. You just cannot ignore a crawford lobbing RPGs at you.

fervent rose
#

i always used mackay to kill tanks but i think assault got nerfed a tad

fresh lintel
#

Yeah they lost 1 C5 brick

fervent rose
#

and the scar no longer has 3 ap nades

fresh lintel
#

Which its.. Not what I woulda done but it did the trick.

pastel tree
fresh lintel
#

Yeah it does more damage.

pastel tree
#

Huh wow, is there a catch

fresh lintel
#

It has one less rocket than M5 has more drop but it hits like a fucking truck.

pastel tree
#

Otherwise why would anyone roll the recoiless

fervent rose
#

you can reliably 3 shot tanks with rpg, the other one does less damage but you can hold an extra one

pastel tree
#

Ahh

fervent rose
fresh lintel
#

M5 has little to no drop, has a sight that accurately tells you where the missile will drop and it has more rockets.

pastel tree
fresh lintel
#

They both can lock on to marked targets btw.

#

Dont ask me why or how a RPG can lock on but uh. Yeah.

fervent rose
#

they didnt want to even add rpg but caved after the community memed on them for having it in a trailer

eager spire
fresh lintel
#

Its straight up just a RPG from the Gulf War 😭

pastel tree
fervent rose
pastel tree
#

I never knew the m5 was just borderline inferior in every way

eager spire
#

don't ask how that was able to be produced in a world ravaged by climate change

fresh lintel
#

What type of fucking NOD Rocket squad nonsense is that 😭

eager spire
#

actually don't ask how anything in 2042 was able to be produced

#

i don't think DICE actually thought about any of that.

pastel tree
fresh lintel
#

When it comes to Nordvik stuff i can understand

eager spire
pastel tree
eager spire
#

I think about the failed potential in that concept constantly.

fervent rose
fresh lintel
#

I think DICE stopped thinking around Season 3 when it comes to the lore

eager spire
#

Like

fervent rose
#

but i dont know of any rpg that does that right now lol

fresh lintel
#

I was gonna say i dont know a single rocket that can lock on by itself

#

I aint a military woman 😭

eager spire
#

I remember before 2042 came out when people were finding out that the game was gonna be set in the future and it was gonna be like "Oh, climate change is devastating the world and a lot of people are being forced out of their homes and that's why the No-Pats exist", I swear to god I saw an article about how climate change being a thing is just a setting detail it's not political at all.

#

Not that I think they were planning to actually make any sort of point, even if it would be interesting if they did

ivory canopy
#

Wasn't that how BF2142 existed?

fresh lintel
#

As we watch as the Toronto area becomes summer hot in the middle of winter another year in a row and watch as Carbon Sinks fail because lo and fucking behold we are cutting down trees aka our natural carbon sinks.

fervent rose
#

theres some vague things that happen that cause an ice age yes

#

but 2042 has magic technology that fixes things so idk anymore

eager spire
fresh lintel
#

Yeah 2142 is basically just "Ice age 2 Not so Electric boogaloo" so everyone started moving south.

I.e Africa, Australia and Brazil all became the new homes for EVERY human.

#

Its pretty much why we only ever saw Siberian Wasteland #300 and Africa for the map selection.

In 2042 its a different story thats kinda done poorly. For many reasons.

fervent rose
#

the "end" of 2042 doesnt have the world headed toward an ice age so its a bit odd

eager spire
#

what does the end of 2042 do

#

prey tell

fervent rose
#

its some stupid everything is going to be fine easter egg

#

new tech woo!

fresh lintel
#

The end of 2042 is basically a reimagining of the Coalition start since the Last Stand DLC is retconned/not canon

#

The Eurasian Coalition or whatever it was called I forgot.

eager spire
fervent rose
#

everyone gets to live together in africa and climate change is fixed due to tech

eager spire
#

but then again there are like 17 other things that would make 2042's setting more interesting.

#

ah yes, technology fixing climate change.

fervent rose
#

its pretty much a hilarious fantasy

eager spire
#

every techbros fantasy.

fresh lintel
#

I figured they would have made the Ice Age a "America did it" thing like they hinted at with most of 2042's shit.

eager spire
fresh lintel
#

I mean it was bad timing if anything

fervent rose
#

yeah there was the very brave "america general gone rogue" story but they werent gonna go anywhere serious with it

fresh lintel
#

Yeah.

fervent rose
#

nevermind cod4 did it ages ago much better lol

eager spire
eager spire
fervent rose
#

right

#

I was about to say maybe it was mw2

fresh lintel
#

Like I said, bad timing. I enjoy the idea of "America gone evil" because really, 2042 is straight up that.

But with thr Ukraine war i guess they didnt want to push it past subtle hints because yknow.. Anything that makes Russia look good is going to get you alot of hate.

And I DO NOT blame DICE for it.

eager spire
#

how would that make russia look good

fervent rose
#

bad luck for them having their game involve those parties leo

fresh lintel
#

Because Russia in 2042 is actively defending what is essentially humanitiarian things and actively wants to protect its people.

They even destroyed a super weapon America made that CAN fuck people over.

And also they werent the ones experimenting on non US Citizens

#

People will take that as Glazing Russia. Because people are stupid.

eager spire
#

I see.

fresh lintel
#

At least thats how I see it.

eager spire
#

I feel like commenting on the military's effects on climate change would've been an interesting thing to do, especially since the US Military are one of the largest contributors to that.

fervent rose
#

its a drop in the bucket compared to regular industry

fresh lintel
#

It would have but again given that the game released around the Ukraine war it just seems like a bad taste thing to do

#

I think

eager spire
fresh lintel
#

Also yeah considering America actively spends hundreds if not millions on munitions and actively test fires them for training or drills.. Their impact on climate change must be fucking high.

eager spire
#

Like, I know regular industry is a significant contributor, but to act like the Military is a drop in the bucket compared to that seems unlikely to me, especially considering the amount of money that gets put into the Military Industrial Complex.

tardy kestrel
#

Hey guys are we ever getting 128p conquest back?

eager spire
#

No.

fresh lintel
#

The only recent thing I can see being okay for the environment are.. Funnily enough: Drones.

As theyre 3D printing those.

tardy kestrel
fervent rose
fresh lintel
#

And the only thing thats going to harm are the stupid bastards who have to breathe in the Resin fumes.

eager spire
#

also that's still not a source

fervent rose
#

you can look up details yourself i am not google

eager spire
#

you're the one making the claim!

fervent rose
#

our economy isnt reliant on our military spending/military industrial complex

tardy kestrel
#

this is so annoying we lost 128p

eager spire
fresh lintel
#

Lowkey even less reason to reinstall 2042 if i get a Series X now if 128 is actually gone lmao

tardy kestrel
#

ik they better add it back the game was coming back with all these sales

fervent rose
fresh lintel
#

The maps are way too big to not have 128. This is just the same old problem with the franchise its had since forever

ivory canopy
#

Did they add a punish to the squad for dying all at once... in a TDM?

fervent rose
#

i think thats just an overall 2042 "feature"

ivory canopy
#

That wasn't a thing until recently

fervent rose
#

well then you got DICE'd

#

enjoy

ivory canopy
#

They're making the game worse by the minute. Jeez...

#

Unfrigginbelievable

fervent rose
#

Oh hey look at that I can Pre Load Delta Force on Steam

pseudo belfry
#

Some days, I wish submachine guns were nerfed into oblivion.

eager spire
#

Of course, the reporting of military emissions is only optional, likely because the US asked for it to stay that way.

ivory canopy
#

My continued patronage of BF2042 is really coming to a head if updates get released that make the game experience worse to deal with each time I bother loading up a match.

fervent rose
#

so these numbers could be off because I quickly looked them up but total emissions in USA in 2022 seem to be 6,343.2 Million Metric Tons of CO₂, and the military was only 48 million tonnes

#

residential and transportation produce like half of that

#

in war time it would go up though

eager spire
fervent rose
#

the EPA

#

actually that was for the first number, let me get a proper source for the military

hard jay
#

Hello

ivory canopy
#

I just had a game session that left me seriously questioning if it's worth even bothering playing the game at this point.

eager spire
ivory canopy
#

I wanted to keep going until I got a T1 for all the guns... but that's probably not going to happen if I keep getting one-sided matches be they favor or disfavor me, nor will it happen if I wind up getting totally outclassed using the 12M auto somehow...

#

I would've been safe to assume that the 12M is basically easy kills... but then after one 40 kill match I have matches where I get my ass handed to me sideways and barely achieve 1 KDR

#

Like, this is the gun I have to get 801 kills to T1 with it, and every match is apparently going to be a total slog. Not exactly confidence inspiring.

eager spire
#

@fervent rose unfortunately i did not think to copy that long spiel somewhere else, I did not think it'd get removed. So, uh.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

fervent rose
#

its cool I read it

ivory canopy
#

On the other hand, once I T1 the 12M, that'll be the last shotgun I ever have to use

fervent rose
#

it would definitely change in wartime though

ivory canopy
#

That and the SCZ-3 are the CQB guns I have to T1 yet

hard jay
fervent rose
#

but that pre load delta force button tho

ivory canopy
#

Maybe I should quit tbh

fervent rose
#

if you still find it fun go for it but the game is dreadfully boring to me at this point

pastel tree
#

is the SPH launcher any good nowadays?

fervent rose
#

yeah it shoots a high velocity 1 tap

#

it was insane on launch tho it was so op

ivory canopy
#

SPH is the most overpowered gadget in the game, bar none

fervent rose
#

original sph with 2 ammo per reload was nuts

pastel tree
#

yeah I heard it got nerfed hard

#

which is why I was curious if it's worth using still

fervent rose
#

it was the most broken zone denial gadget ive maybe ever seen in bf

#

but now its relatively balanced i guess

ivory canopy
#

If you want cheap kills, it is definitely worth using

fervent rose
#

ya its still an op noob tube

pastel tree
#

is it better at killing than using a gun tho

fervent rose
#

older ones had much lower velocity

pastel tree
#

since I know he grenade launchers just suck

ivory canopy
#

It is objectively better than using the 40mmGL in BF2042

#

The 40mmGL is a joke

pastel tree
#

yep

fervent rose
#

they nerfed those too ya

#

i think twice

#

the 40's used to be fast

pastel tree
#

the 40 is just awful from what I've seen

#

unless it's being used for smokes

fervent rose
#

scar with 9 nades was disgusting pre-nerf

#

now they're slow velocity and you get 3

#

the HE will still kill people but its good that underbarrel gl isnt a free kill gadget

#

burning dozers with 40m incen was also highly enjoyable, having 3 per spawn was so nice

pastel tree
#

yeah I'm not surprised it's nerfed lol

#

it's just mostly shite compared to other options now

#

it's one of those things that's either awful to deal with or just useless

Finally a reason to put my AP rounds on my third slot again.

vocal tusk

I think its mostly a meaningless change for AR because of low bullet amount (Not even enough to get dozer to 50% HP), and on LMGs where it would actually be useful...it takes too long to change belts for it to matter 90% of the time

SMG users are mad that they can't do anything to Dozer.

They get rekt ez

vocal tusk
#

Id prefer Dozer be able to shield bash 40% faster, but their bash do 90 damage, instead of 100.

#

The most annoying part of dozer is getting one hit due to dodgy hit detection

#

One hit melee is really annoying, especially when a dozer player also is largley protected from damage from the front

frozen loom
# naive ember Wym?

I mean that SMG bullets don't have armor-piercing options to bypass Dozer's shield update.

Was this always on Portal?

Im guessing its related to the visual colors of friend and foe we had in the last event, but it has 3 undefined options

Just came back to 2042 , I haven’t played this game a ton since about 2021 , I prefer BfV . Anyways I legit can’t find a game , it just loads me in solo lobby’s , is the game just dead or am I doing something wrong?

vocal tusk

Make sure cross play is enabled in general settings. Apparently it has been defaulted to off, which results in never finding games.

Lol, you messed up the game and especially Dozer in the latest patch. Was it ment to reduce his movement and the patch note was wrong or was it a potato behind the coding messing up the values leo

What's the issue? If you don't explain it, it's difficult to even know what it is, or of it is an issue

spiral stratus

#

Hasn't there been a movement speed penalty for Dozer for awhile now?

#

When he has the shield out

viscid bone
#

Update notes should definitely be accurate, its on our team to write them :))

spiral stratus
viscid bone
#

Ah, okay. So in that sense it's correct - decrease as in slowed down. That's a matter of verbiage and i'll note it for the future 🙂

vital quail
#

The wording just makes it confusing to me

vocal tusk
#

That's what I expected it to be tbh. Same with most of us here. They are getting nerfed so you can't take the shield out in the middle of a fire fight to win where previously losing.

#

Maybe showing time to deploy values could clear this up for cases in the future.

viscid bone
#

I think when it's in reference to speed, decrease and increase of such speed applies - but again, we'll work on that for clarity.

# vital quail 80% is also quite high in 1 change imo

Depends on the values. It was 0.8 seconds before. An 80% increase only make it take 1.35 seconds to deploy. Considering it's defensive capabilities, it makes sense for use of the gadget to be a proactive, rather than a reactive tool. Hence the change.

Before it was too fast and reactive. Too easy to equip in the middle of a fight and gain an instant advantage in a 1v1.

frozen loom
#

Why are Dozer mains not using their shields 24/7?

viscid bone
vocal tusk
#

An 80% increase on a value like 4 seconds would be too much, but at lower time values under a second, it's not a big increase, time wise.

They have to put on their armor plate first.

Always wear protection.

eager spire
#

i think this dozer change is funny

frozen loom
#

Dozer mains have to worry about more than their legs now.

next onyx
#

The dozer change will only punish quick swappers which is good.

#

And over reliance on the shield. If used for team play you should be fine. Maybe you'll get pricked by the weirdos.

frozen loom
#

Let Dozer slap on their own C5 to their shields to balance it.

next onyx
#

In release they could.

#

You could stick c4 to his shield.

frozen loom
viscid bone
#

It was amazing

frozen loom
#

Give Casper’s drone EMP again. It feels pretty useless without it.

next onyx
#

I didn't know cause well... yeah.

vital quail
#

Put some concussion grenades on the shield too tbh...

#

Never done before

frozen loom
#

Let Dozer strap a claymore on his shield.

next onyx
#

Spotting is busted but they should have just cut out its vehicle interaction out for emp.

vital quail
#

Let him also throw it like captian America because why not

frozen loom
#

I once original EMPed a tank 8 times in a row. It was magical.

viscid bone
#

As well as instant reload RPG's frognod

vocal tusk
#

an anti-recon recon

frozen loom
#

That’s 99% of what I used the EMP for: destroying spawn beacons.

vocal tusk
#

Yeah, it could also lock vehicles and aircraft, but they didnt have a special tone. So people thought they were being locked on for rockets

frozen loom
#

I’ll even take the drone having the ability to shoot a vehicle dart close range than have nothing.

vocal tusk
#

Honestly, I kinda wish the dart pistol was a recon only secondary, and not a gadget.

lean dew
#

now with the slower shield, is harder to throw knife when they turn around to escape

frozen loom
#

Doesn’t the dart expire after awhile or death?

vocal tusk
#

Ive only used it a handful of times TBH, so im not sure. I know using flare on a vehicle removes it

frozen loom
#

That’s lame considering the pistol only has like 1 dart per life.

vital quail
#

I've always wanted to dart an unsuspecting recon and have someone shoot a javelin at them

frozen loom
#

You mean dart a friendly Casper drone and then get close enough to an enemy to get splash damage from a naval in?

vocal tusk
#

I think in a game where weapons are class locked totally, they would be able to make the dart pistoll a secondary for recons. I just think recons are a bit underpower when having to choose one tool over another, compared to other classes and their gadgets.

frozen loom
#

*javalin

vocal tusk
#

Boris is still the worst specialist by far tho haha

vital quail
#

I've assumed that because the lock on symbol shows up even if you miss a vehicle, you can still lock onto the dart

#

So you just shoot near an enemy and then lock onto the spot with a javelin

vocal tusk
#

Id also revert the change made to only show lock ons when you have a launcher equipped. that was a bad change for team play

#

Literally no one knows when things are designated these days

vital quail
#

Shoot a dart down a hallway on redacted and have a javelin/stinger lock onto it...

frozen loom
#

Make it so the dart pistol has an infinite laser with super high projectile speed if they want flares to make it useless. And increase its ammo count to 3 at least.

Did you see that apparently 2042 will receive some useful news? I was just on YouTube watching a video of a guy explaining the new update that arrived And there was a moment in the video where he said that now when you are on a plane with other allies and the pilot abandons the plane you will receive a message asking if you want to take over piloting Because sometimes when the guy abandons piloting And sometimes you only realize this when you notice that the plane is falling

frozen loom
#

That way it has at least one chance to take down a vehicle.

They brought back conquest lfggg

vocal tusk
#

Oh nice, so they actually added the new Conquest layout for El Alamein as a totally different map.

Screenshot_2024-12-03_205237.png
#

the older version is great for tank and air superiority, so thats pretty good news.

#

Next up, we need a Portal modifier for "Tickets removed on Sector Capture". with the option to set it to 0. That would largely fix Conquest scoring for me in 2042.

Google shows "Repair 500 vehicle damage" and "inflict 2000 damage with vehicles" as the assignments to unlock them

Best gun to use against dozer is ntw

Only gun to one shot kill him from any range

Also there is no range where the AP doesn't pen

#

AP will always pen dozers shield

And it will go through multiple shields

Crawford can counter dozer with the minigun

I wanna get the guns you recieve from the elite upgrade dlc. How do I find their assignments?

I shot the ntw here

Dozers are cooked

Dozers are usually what holds/pushes up in that scenario

Headshots one shot and body does around 72

True, but you rarely see a player running the NTW, and Noone is gonna specifically run it just in the event of a dozer appearance

I do like one shooting people

Hey everyone! I'm a BF vet since day 01, however I've been out of Battlefield for a loong time. I played BF5 briefly when it came out but didn't like it. Just bought 2042 and BF5 again. Enjoying 2042. Just played one day.

I noticed no one uses comms, in game. Is this normal? What's a good server to find a decent squad?

vital quail
vocal tusk
#

It is normal yes. (That no one uses comms, be it voice or text chat)

#

Such a fuss was made that this game didn't have voice chat at launch when I can count on both hands how often I've heard a player use it in BF3, 4, 1, V and 2042 😅

#

Optional proximity chat would be fun to see in a Battlefield game tho.

rocky gust
#

most people just type gg at the end

#

even then, not a lot of ppl

hoary steppe
#

Gah. I miss the days of Bad Company 2....

vocal tusk

I'm glad it's still like this tho. Cos the alternative is whatever COD has become. An unplayable mess of sweats

but SBMM would not work in BF lol

I used to spend days in that game. What a perfectly balanced game it was.

So im hoping they never do

vocal tusk
#

Well, it could work if there were a ranked mode. And it had a similar ranking system to something like overwatch. Your rank, and players you play with/against is determined on a 20 game basis. Every 20 ranked games you get a new rank, and group of players to compete against based on past performance.

Gauging performance is the tricky part in Battlefield.

rocky gust
#

yeah the EA response to new battlefield contained words like empower, diversity, innovate, elevate

#

so

#

i am not

#

expecting a gem

fervent rose
#

buzzwords dont make good games

rocky gust
#

well ofc they gotta elevate, they hitting the dirt rn

innovate? we literally all just want bf 3.5,4.5

and they still are lost

#

diversity....oh god

#

another subdance

fervent rose
#

we do want innovation, like new great maps

#

we just want iterative innovation

#

not stupid

rocky gust
#

yeah i want the game to do good

vocal tusk
#

Well the only thing that mentioned diversity recently is in relation to the teams they have working on the next games.

I'm not against diversity in BF games either. I just think we should wait for the next game to judge it. Be that positively, or negatively.

rocky gust
#

but these guys fuck up even things that players like

fervent rose
#

they are the masters of self sabotage

rocky gust
#

hope they bring "legacy" features like scoreboard on release

#

10/10 game

eager spire
#

i don't like people who get mad whenever the word "Diversity" comes up.

#

Just seems like a red flag to me.

vocal tusk
#

If they didn't learn from 2042,they will never learn. It's my belief that they have tho. Based on changes made to this game post launch and info we have on the next.

rocky gust
#

DICE definition of diversity doesn't seem to be with anything related to the game in a positive way

#

i like diversity if it adds something, instead of it being just treated as "oh yeah, it's diverse ig"

vocal tusk
#

I could give 2 shits about how diverse the next game is, as long as it's a good game.

rocky gust
#

^

eager spire
#

I like diversity if it adds something

like what, exactly?

fervent rose
#

women in bfv didnt ruin the game but it was also sort of nonsensical given the setting. i really dont care at the end of the day tho i play the game for the gameplay

rocky gust
#

idk dude, how do i explain it. i just want a good game mechanics wise

eager spire
#

diversity doesn't have anything to do with game mechanics though.

rocky gust
#

here's the thing. if the game is shit, then some of the personally unnecessary aspects like that, will look like a flaw

#

if they make a good game? it's just more flavor

fervent rose
#

that really is true

vocal tusk
#

It wasn't nonsensical at all tbh. It's a fantasy game. The stupid part was how hard a stance on it they took. Like there are always going to be trolls and weirdos that critique you for having women in a WW2 game(which again, I am all for...I don't care as long as the game is fun/giod). But IMO they should have just ignored them and avoided unnecessary drama.

eager spire
#

if a game is shit, that doesn't mean the diversity is part of the reason why it's shit. It genuinely has no impact on the actual quality of the game.

#

I just don't understand the whole "I like diversity if it adds something" bit

#

it doesn't make much sense at all.

hard jay
#

Simple as that

rocky gust
#

i probably misworded and made it sound worse

i mean you kind of just made a nonsensical statement

it's like they hired a 13 year old boy to make the plot

tired comet
#

the setting and lore wouldve been solid

fervent rose
vocal tusk
#

Disagree, it's a game that simply was not ready to release. It needed at least another 12 months. The lore and story was relatively fine. Same with the era.

eager spire
#

BF1's Russian expansion had female soldiers.

fervent rose
#

its one of the worst attempts at a background story ive ever seen in a videogame

In fact it was the first time women were playable in a Battlefield game.

vital quail
#

Why do people pretend to care about lore in a multiplayer fps

tired comet
#

oh

#

nvm

fervent rose
vocal tusk
#

But I think even with another 12 months, the game we would have gotten then would have been worse than what we got 12 months post launch. Player feedback and backlash was required to right the ship...or right it as much as it could be.

eager spire
#

BF1 came out first, Johnny. :P

rocky gust
#

well because past battlefields had a decent campaign

tired comet
#

took away from the war feeling with that winners circle rip off, cringe voice lines, and shitty skins

is this cod or battlefield lol

rocky gust
#

it also has the worst feeling mouse input i've ever played

vocal tusk
#

I think if we got what we had now at launch, with class locked weapons... A lot of players would have been fine with it.

vital quail
#

I couldn't name a single character in the bf1 or bf5 campaigns

rocky gust
#

bf3?bf4?

fervent rose
tired comet
vital quail
#

I mean bf4 is easy as irish is still a relevant character

tired comet
#

theyd have to rebuild the game for it

rocky gust
#

well bf4 was just a campaign with pac, hannah, irish, recker, yeah

fervent rose
#

if bf2042 releases in its current state, its still got one of the worst map lists if not the worst map list ever

tired comet
#

bc1 and 2 had a good campaign

#

wouldnt work out todasy tho

vocal tusk
#

I just hope they abondon this series of characters, the existing story and lore for the next game. Do a full reset, just call it "BATTLEFIELD"

rocky gust

Notice how its only the russian revolution the female characters are playable m

calling it battlefield alone has the implication that its the final game

that no one fucking wants

hard jay

Not at all. It just shows it's a reset, and is far more marketable that calling it Battlefield 6,or whatever

this does not belong in BF

rocky gust
#

i would much rather pay season pass

tired comet
#

think you completely misinterpreted what i meant

not a bunch of DLC but rather the same stuff we had for BC2-BF1

that creates responsibility for the devs to make content

BF3 placed the big open areas for vehicle combat in the middle of the maps, with infantry spaces around those areas in which you could fight/move between. While 2042 placed them in between every flag and hoped for the best.

idk if there were other titles but

#

the most smooth was bfbc2

searching kitswitching streaks bfbc2

that feature was last seen in bf1

rocky gust

would show people getting multikills from picking up different kits

Like...ah yes, I'll just run across this open area with no cover while getting blasted by heli 30mm and bolt 30 and 50mm. Basically 2042 at launch

rocky gust

and it was really fast as well

#

i loved it

hard jay

i played like 1k hours very few people bothered to change their gun

hard jay
#

Did people forget about heli hovering in bf3 or are they just nit-picking now

vocal tusk
#

Let them make a good BF game set on earth first haha

rocky gust
#

then pick up a sturm 1-5, or 1907

and just constantly heal

#

on the go

fervent rose
#

yeah a sturm1-5 on medic is so nice

rocky gust
#

while firing fast ttk weapons

somber robin
#

da mooooon

tired comet
#

honestly dice's best bet is to try and recreate BF3 again with BF1 graphics and movement

fervent rose
#

bf1 movement? gross

#

bf3 movement is genuinely still great and doesnt need to be downgraded into bf1 movement

hard jay
#

Huh

#

Both are similar

rocky gust
hard jay
#

Bf1 running just felt slower is all

tired comet
fervent rose
#

no jump shots is a non starter

rocky gust
#

well they nerfed every aspect of movement in bf1

tired comet
#

and looks stiff

fervent rose
#

bf1 movement is trash

rocky gust
#

release state bf1 movement was

#

hilarious at the minimum

hard jay
somber robin
rocky gust
#

shit

fervent rose
#

no jumpshots is awful fps design

rocky gust
hard jay
#

I think they should do something like,one battlefield release is modern and one battlefield release is either based on history or fiction

vocal tusk
tired comet
somber robin
#

why not just make a master chief collection kinda game

#

roll all the previous games into one

#

add some QOL

rocky gust
#

they haven't remastered bfbc2 with portal

#

where the fuck is my neostead shotgun

somber robin
#

and remaster and rebrush the graphics and visual design

fervent rose
#

it's too expensive

somber robin
#

i thought we already knew this

fervent rose
#

they've talked about how map remakes are not easy in the past, and that was over 5 years ago

somber robin
#

didnt skull and bones cost like 200m dollars

fervent rose
#

it is 100% out of their budget to make a MCC style game

somber robin
#

and ubisoft has a tenth of the budget EA has

#

sell 1 battillion copies

tired comet
next onyx
#

A lot of battlefields design reminds me of a quote made by the terraria lead dev, about what kind of community you want to foster.

The context was that he wanted to add an electric chair to terraria.

#

Like oh what do you want to teach the players that's good.

somber robin
#

i just think a battlefield collection would be neat

fervent rose
#

of course it would be

next onyx
#

It would though battlefield is known for multiplayer and would fracture everyone.

hard jay
fervent rose
#

i just dont think you understand how expensive it would be to remake all the old maps with high fidelity

hard jay
#

I don't even have hopes for bf6,its gonna be shit

somber robin
#

considering how dice hasnt been releasing a new game for 3 years i think they are working on something

#

or at the very least making sure their next game is not

#

poo poo

vital quail
#

Wow hot take

hard jay
rocky gust
#

dw, they'll blame that the engine is really hard to work with again

tired comet
rocky gust
#

if game developing was gonna be that simple, hell i'd have just hopped onto the industry with zero knowledge like the,

tired comet
#

dice never fails to disappoint

fervent rose

if the 2042 mouse engine bug is in the next game...

hard jay
fervent rose
#

i swear

rocky gust

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

somber robin
next onyx
#

The lot of devs know what they're doing its the higher ups that pushed for the shit unfortunately.

rocky gust
#

I CANT WAIT TO HAVE MOUSE THAT FEELS LIKE IM DRAGGING IT IN MY DOGS DROOL

somber robin
#

yeah

#

cut back on the executive meddling

#

have a definite vision from the start to the end

fervent rose
#

actually i want the EA executives to meddle more

#

dont let dice cook

somber robin
#

and give it time in the oven

mental delta
fervent rose
#

never let them cook after 2042

rocky gust
#

they could have fixed some bf1 mechanics and i would have still played it

fervent rose
#

tell them what to do

hard jay
vocal tusk
#

So 2042 then

rocky gust
#

bf1 is visually stunning, but plays like complete dog nuts

somber robin
mental delta
#

I mean you're the dude who said GTAV and RDR2 was shit so I ain't even surprised with your bullshit

somber robin
#

why did 1 come after 5 and why is there no 2

hard jay
#

But lets be realistic here

#

👍

rocky gust

1 came before 5

bf2 was released when i was crawling i think

no reason to hope

yeah i mean everyone has very poor expectations, but

mental delta

"Yeah this cake fucking tastes like shit, I mean I haven't eaten a single bit of it yet but it tastes like actual turd"

rocky gust
#

no reason to keep getting depressed about it really

Wait has dice ever directly complain about frostbite? I know the anthem devs have but to memory not dice recently.

Baldur's Gate 3 is fucking amazing

Just play single player.

fervent rose
#

Elden Ring is amazing

somber robin
#

the indie industry and the AA industry are booming right now

tired comet
#

but the big devs run most of the games people play

somber robin
#

there still a bunch of amazing AAA releases dropping

next onyx

Single player games have definitely stayed strong.

Sekiro is god's gift to action games

mental delta
rocky gust
hard jay
#

Sure

tired comet
fervent rose
#

sekiro is the best action game anyone has ever made and its modern

rocky gust
#

and fixing it to a workable process took them a year minimum

Mechwarrior, terraria, doom being great games you can mod even.

they are awesome games
