battlefield-2042

[spare quest]

where did you even checked that

sounds way too low

[rocky gust]

i don't doubt it though

considering the average teammates i see while lying on the ground

seen dudes miss an entire mag of smg on a dude thats 1 hp

yeah i experienced this firsthand

i thought something was wrong, but forgot that dozer got that update

[fervent rose]

@spare quest if the bf tracker says "top 50%" under the number thats the avg player stat for that category

[rocky gust]

also anyone know like the exact time DF releases

i kinda want to play a game with functioning mouse

[fervent rose]

i just found a guy with 0.79 kpm, that's the avg kpm

dreadful

the avg player cant even kill 1 dude a minute

[spare quest]

but does it include those who dont share their profile

[rocky gust]

so basically around 8 kills in 11 minutes

dreadful...

[fervent rose]

i dont know tbh. it might but not show them

but imo the people that hide their profiles are even worse so..

[fervent rose]

7 pm EST

[spare quest]

less than 5 hours

what a time

[fervent rose]

and it's already installed

i am ready

[spare quest]

im not gonna start playing it at 2am

[rocky gust]

same LMAO

installed

7 pm hits, i am finally gonna use both hands to play

[fervent rose]

only problem is i didnt screenshot my settings from the test

i had it dialed in too RIP

[rocky gust]

probably gonna spend like an hour just trying the test range

i love their test range and the variety of attachments

[fervent rose]

pro tip you can unlock guns in the bf mode by extracting once with that gun in the extract

[rocky gust]

its not just lwg grip tac comp shit

[fervent rose]

buy it, dont kill anyone, run to exit, unlocked in bf mode

skip the level progression for gun unlocks

[rocky gust]

was it designed that way?

[fervent rose]

you still have to level up the gun

yes its a system to get people to play the extract im guessing

incentive

[rocky gust]

that's pretty smart honestly

wow, devs that actually play the game

and understand what incentives truly are

[void gorge]

This is possible but don't you agree with me that this slowness of the vehicle when turning a curve is a thing of the game itself?

[rocky gust]

along with dogshit mouse input, the slowdown felt HORRID after the initial nerf

[spare quest]

i think its a balance reason, the tor does much more damage and is more accurare with its shells than all other tanks

so they made its turret speed slower

[void gorge]

It was high time because this shield left the game, let's say, unbalanced

[rocky gust]

any chokepoint could be bypassed with 1 or 2 good dozers

it was crazy

[wide shore]

Fuck riot shields

Dozer was a stupid character.

[rocky gust]

agreed

[latent jasper]

this game so broken bro💔

[vocal tusk]

in what way

[fervent rose]

riot shields in bf should either not exist or be a limited pickup like the bfv flamethrower only

[vocal tusk]

Mainly looking at stats in the stats channel. Like a 0.98 is 65% top players. Top 65% I would say is a relatively average player. Not bad, but not great

[still vault]

My mafths tells me players at 50% is average

[vital quail]

If there was a threshold for this stuff it would help but someone that plays for an hour counts the same or only has like 50 kills and 5 deaths

[vital quail]

The #1 kills and kd guy has 5.3 million bot kills as well

So gotta include those who have only played against bots which definitely skews almost everything

Also on the tracker website, the video ad that I get is for xdefiant and the guy talks about how it's expected to be supported for "many years to come"

[void gorge]

I don't know what you think but in 2042 there is something that I think is exciting because when something explodes near you, for example a landmine or When a jet crashes into a wall Generally the game makes your screen go a small shake But it's a shake that makes the game more immersive And I think in several other games I've played and none of them have this

[fervent rose]

there's a human kd stat that ignores bots

[arctic grove]

noshahr canals is still this horrid? LMAO

[naive ember]

Wym? It's a classic bud

[arctic grove]

noshahr rush is so bad 😭 might be a classic map but theres no defending that one

[sullen violet]

Never tried it in rush tbh. Top tier TDM map though, one of my favs for sure 😛

[vocal tusk]

Its a fine map, but the balance is broken by design on it.

[vital quail]

It's the only map I'll instantly leave on conquest

[vocal tusk]

Ill play it, but know im gonna lose if on the RU team.

[vital quail]

I think the last time I played it, spawned on the brawler as RU and the guy just drove straight into the water

Or maybe it was the us side right before the bridge

[arctic grove]

its pretty bad on rush, you spawn on that carrier in the water

theres no vehicles to get over there, like 4 rhibs at most i think

[vocal tusk]

Dont you get a UH60?

[arctic grove]

yeah theres a few aircrafts but theyre never actually available lol

so you only get the 4 rhibs to cross the water

otherwise u have to swim

[vital quail]

Is the mav not available?

[arctic grove]

uh it showed that we had 1 condor but i couldnt find it on the map

LMAO

idk where it was

mightve been bugged

but idk how attackers are supposed to win on noshahr rush

its crazy

[mental delta]

So now I dare you I FUCKING DARE YOU to tell me there's nothing wrong with this game

This utter piece of raccoon crap is literally fucking unplayable and we're all pretending it is ?

Fuck this game

[naive ember]

[mental delta]

You just get disconnected for no fucning reason abd then you can't even join a game either fuck it

[kindred flint]

french bias

try playing a normal conquest match or something

[mental delta]

I fucking did but it doesn't work either

I'm tired of this shit

Those last weeks it has been like this every time

[kindred flint]

unrelated note i just had a blue screen when trying to play a match

[mental delta]

You see this game is broken

EA needs to turn off server and delete it to Oblivion so we patiently and safely wait for BF6

[fervent rose]

remove it from the steam store issue a refund to all purchasers

xbox / psn store as well

[naive ember]

[mental delta]

Yeah it would be appreciated thks

[acoustic seal]

deserved for playing dozer

[ivory canopy]

Oh my God the 12M is torture to use beyond 20m

[acoustic seal]

just spam, it's full auto for a reason

if dice did not want you to spam it, they would not have given you 3 separate ammo pools on the T key

[ivory canopy]

True LOL

That's really the best way to do it

Just go drum mag and whole hog

scavenge always yields 10 rounds on a drum so...

Just a real pain at times

Seems like I either do really good or really bad with it

[fervent rose]

yeah it used to dunk on people at like 50m so dice finally realized it was broken

i could hipfire people from on top of stranded boat without issue

[mental delta]

I play it for lower damages with grenades I don't use shield

[rocky gust]

it feels hella inconsistent too

i could aim center mass and get either 75 or like 11

[ivory canopy]

Right?

[rocky gust]

it cant even perform as a shotgun

it wasn't nerfed; they broke it

[ivory canopy]

Also, when you're up against players who are using anything that fires a bullet, you're outclassed

[rocky gust]

it was broken, then they broke it more

not even a bullet

you can lose to the ghostmaker

[ivory canopy]

The fucking MP28 outclasses the 12M

[rocky gust]

like even at 10m

i need to spam like 3 shots

anything beyond 4-idk fucking 20

[ivory canopy]

I was annoyed using the S22 to T1, but at least that had some degree of consistency.

I might just start rotating between 12M and the SCZ-3

[rocky gust]

S22?

Oh the nvk

[ivory canopy]

I think I've found a new worst gun in the game

A gun that instantly halves your KDR

[rocky gust]

12m?

[ivory canopy]

I am going to replace the MCS badge on my profile because it is that bad

[rocky gust]

Its a skill cannon now

If you can do well with it, it means you are like good at infiltrating and flanking

[ivory canopy]

I think my KDR would be higher maining the 93R I'm also trying to T1

[rocky gust]

wish they added t1 skins for vaults too

also...add some shotgun...

no double barrel classic is a crime

[ivory canopy]

I think the SPAS-12 would just be a clone of MCS

or S22 if they decide to make it semi auto

[ivory canopy]

When I T1 this gun I will celebrate by choosing my own T1 as opposed to randomizing it

[pastel tree]

Are any shotguns worth using

[ivory canopy]

MCS

[pastel tree]

Kk

[opal stratus]

LF sq group conq / tdm

[ivory canopy]

I'm going to just do the M416 as soon as I T1 the 12M

Then when I at long last T1 every primary weapon in the game, I'll drop it.

So given that I'm not going to even T1 every secondary weapon, I may as well just rock the BFP.50 instead of the 93R I have been chipping at for several months... at least until I T1 the 12M

[latent jasper]

ik i aint trippin whys my gun so weak

i put 7 rounds in people and they only at half hp

[pastel tree]

Does the 93r suck or is it good

[acoustic seal]

which gun>

[latent jasper]

OH BUT THEIR SMG DOES BETTER DMG

[latent jasper]

ak24

[acoustic seal]

it kinda handles like shit but are you sure you're not missing?

[ivory canopy]

It's not bad; at CQB it will 3HK to the head

But it's ill conducive to have two spray guns that have no significant long range play

[latent jasper]

definitely

[ivory canopy]

The BFP provides a pretty good mid range hold

It also happens to be my favorite sidearm in the game

[acoustic seal]

you're either missing or your connection is really shit cuz the ak24 is 4-5 btk inside every range that matters

or the servers are getting worse

(again)

i'm inclined to believe it's one of the first two though

[latent jasper]

it does 52 dmg to the head right

[acoustic seal]

what did they settle on for the AR HSM? that sounds about right

[latent jasper]

cause i remember specifically shooting someone who was peeking from a shipping container and getting 3 headshot hitmarkers

aint eva had this issue in bf1

[merry heart]

so i haven't played in over 8 months. did they remove casper's drone doing stuff to vehicles now?

[acoustic seal]

yes, casper emp was incredibly stupid and unnecessary

[pastel tree]

was it op or what happened

[ivory canopy]

It was, but they nerfed it then eventually disposed of it completely

[merry heart]

just like homing anti-tank grenades

[acoustic seal]

that was because it was tripping the lockon indicator for aircraft and they couldn't/wouldn't do anything about it

[merry heart]

[merry heart]

i see that no one talks or hardly talks in all chat still

[acoustic seal]

still off by default...

[merry heart]

but why

[acoustic seal]

still mostly people on console without a keyboard

[merry heart]

oh

[acoustic seal]

the community team for this game thinks all forms of player interaction are "toxic"

[merry heart]

well

they're not wrong

[acoustic seal]

i'd like to meet the people who play multiplayer games and think player interaction is some unintentional/undesired thing

i want to know what goes on inside straatford's head

[merry heart]

idk man

aaahh my aim is rusty and heck

gotta get used to this again

[rocky gust]

it might not be just your aim

[fervent rose]

its not like he is making any decisions, dudes just a spokesman

the actual people behind the destruction of social features are unknown

he probably thinks its stupid too

[acoustic seal]

nah he's the guy in the screenshot talking about squad kick being toxic

[fervent rose]

but are those his original thoughts or is he doing the spokesman thing

i would lean on the latter

[verbal meteor]

What do you think about Delta Force ? some people say that it looks like bf 2042

[sacred snow]

Delta force looks like delta force
But 2042 doesn't look like battlefield

[acoustic seal]

descended from a line of chinese f2p shooters once thought extinct, it's more polished than 2042 which is kind of sad

random mashup of mechanics and art from other games but still a more coherent product than any western AAA studio can put out

[fervent rose]

most competent fps to release in a few years

when i saw the original trailer i thought it was going to be a complete joke but its actually great

[pine roost]

Might pick it up again, was pretty fun. Only marginally less frustrating than 2042

[fervent rose]

it's also better than the test, they did a lot of good qol changes. it was a bit clunky in the test but now its really smooth as far as apm

the vaulting also got way better and smoother

countless little stuff but everything ive noticed is a great change

[pine roost]

Is there any way to download it without the extraction part? Dunno how big it is but If I can save the space I’d like to

[fervent rose]

nah i dont think so

its ~64gb

not too bad

[pine roost]

Will be a good ease back into the bf style game for me. Been frustrated with it for so long I’ve turned to Overwatch X/

[fervent rose]

[pine roost]

It’s fun, but every time I logged into 2042 I just got frustrated and needed a change of pace

[next onyx]

Modded games have been doing me wonders to be honest.

[remote meadow]

Any idea why me and my friends cant find a lobby without AI?

[naive ember]

What's wrong with AI?

[strange tiger]

AI is boring, why do i connect to the internet to play with a group of AI

i prefer to play AI with offline mode if has

[vocal tusk]

Does the party leader have cross play disabled?

[remote meadow]

i dont think so

we were playing with some from consols

[vocal tusk]

I see. We'll if I was going to start somewhere I would check it's not disabled. I'm unsure how matchmaking behaves if one or more player has it set to off.

What region is the party leader in(the player who was searching for the game), and what time in their region was it?

I can't remember if friends on other platforms disappear when cross play is off or not.

[fresh lintel]

If they're last genners then they're going to find AI alot more often than on New gens. Last gen version is practically dead.

[ripe dagger]

Help... I just bought a Bundle with a Skin in it, and i cant find the locker to equip it...

[fresh lintel]

What bundle did you buy if you remember?

And even then theoretically you should be able to find the bundle in the shop and view its contents. I cant say for certain since I dont have the game installed atm.

[naive ember]

[merry heart]

I spat out my drink reading this.

[sacred snow]

Nice

[merry heart]

I mean

You got a point

Also did they nerf the RPT?

I was playing earlier and my TTK with it felt a little bit longer.

[vital quail]

No

[merry heart]

Okay then

I have a skill issue

[river gorge]

@viscid bone Team color settings are not reflected in numbers 6 to 10 of the BF Portal MOD "World Icon"!

Can it be fixed in the next update?

[vocal tusk]

Open a bug on the forums, dont tag admins here

[random mantle]

When do you guys think there gonna be an another deal for battlefield 2042

I want to play it

[tawny carbon]

I think if party leader or not. If a party is containing pc and console players. It should have crossplay on as default

It be different if they are all pc players or all console players. Then its up to party leaders cross play setting

[real gyro]

fellas whats the perfect weapon mastery farming method?

[fresh lintel]

Pray you get fucking redacted, then go ham.

[real gyro]

lol redacted is always treasured. what about portal servers? they no good?

[next onyx]

Nope

[fresh lintel]

Yeah I dont think portal servers count

[reef cedar]

yep.

[real gyro]

ah dammit

[real gyro]

thanks a bunch

[fresh lintel]

No problem

[naive ember]

Especially when you attack on BT

[real gyro]

[sacred snow]

Will bf Dev actually listen and bring back soldiers looking like soldiers?

[spare quest]

no

[sacred snow]

Why

[spare quest]

They dont care about what the community wants

[sacred snow]

I mean for the next gamw

Game*

[sacred snow]

So what are we hoping for. There is no fps that is good anymore.

[spare quest]

No hope yet, waiting for a trailer

Now im playing delta force

[sacred snow]

Delta force doesn't have soldiers too

[sacred snow]

New bf?

[spare quest]

I know but its more than 2042 rn I just needed a new fps game

[sacred snow]

Yep

I'm installing both

But 2042 only for the portal

[fresh lintel]

Also you're asking for a Skinless (or near skinless) game in a Skin reliant market.

[sacred snow]

Yes

[fresh lintel]

You might as well ask for no battlepass, because you're getting skins and a battlepass anyways.

Because that's what the modern market demands.

[sacred snow]

So will it ever change?

[fresh lintel]

Probably not, realistically.

[naive ember]

[fresh lintel]

Like you have to genuinely consider how much money Skins and Passes make these companies.

[sacred snow]

Never???

I guess Im not gonna play any new game anymore

[mental delta]

I mean next game is confirmed to have no specialists and classes back so I hope so

[fresh lintel]

The only companies who tend to not add skins or passes to their games are usually low end or small Indie companies.

[sacred snow]

I hope too. I've been hoping for 6 years. I quit cod

[fresh lintel]

Also there's plenty of other valid reasons for not playing any new BF or CoD, but skins is possibly the lowest priority issue anyone should have IMO.

Like you do you, but a game can still be fun despite cosmetics.

Like Blacklight Retribution. Which had a cat ear helmet.

[sacred snow]

Is there at least any mods that makes specialist look like normal soldiers

[robust vapor]

you're also a helmet

[fresh lintel]

Not that I know of. Unlike Battlefront I think any modification of 2042's files nets you a ban or a anti cheat kick. I wouldn't know so that's just a safe guess.

Theres uh.. Skins. To make yourself look relatively normal. 🤭

[fresh lintel]

Nou!

[robust vapor]

n0

[sacred snow]

Good

I just hope next battlefield feels like battlefield

[fresh lintel]

Only time will tell

[sacred snow]

Yes

I'm still looking for a way to get my portal server popular

[woeful solstice]

did you find anything about it?

[mental delta]

COD is shit now yeah

I got BO6 because it was the only arcade shooter currently that looked decent

But skins kill it for me

[sacred snow]

Worth the campaign only. You get tired for mp

[mental delta]

There's not even a milsim default skin option

The whole game is about buying skins

Yet people don't say shit

I hate COD community who buys shitty skins every week as much as I hate Activision itself

Fuck them all

[sacred snow]

I hate those who complain and then they buy skins

I wish battlefield get weak financially

This way they listen

But if cod, the biggest franchise ever, release a garage, it still hit the first place at the charts

[mental delta]

Yeah they all buys and praise the new title when it's coming just to be whinning about it a few months after because whaaa whaaa SBMM

[sacred snow]

Sbmm is the least problem

[naive ember]

They should come out with battlefield mobile

[fresh lintel]

I mean besides the Kar98k, STG44, Static HIV, Superi and MCW whatever dominating the meta, MW3 Is or can be pretty fun.

But not dealing with a shitter who rage pulls a Kar98k is like asking for a miracle so

Realised this game is kinda dead. Regret buying it now 😢

[still vault]

Enabled cross play?

[stray leaf]

I did. Im still alone in public matches

I've no idea

[naive ember]

It's never dead in NA

I can find a couple full lobbies at 4 am est

Ez

[acoustic seal]

^ this guy only speaks in deceptions, he's like the server pet, ignore him

[still vault]

EU should be fine atm. as well

Perhaps try another game mode

[naive ember]

I speak facts bud, go wake up at 4 am and try it out

you are the reason i'm not even gonna attempt to order delivery when im in orlando next september

"My clan requires a 10+ human kd" -ToxicDasher

Only has a 2 human kd
with a KPM or 0.9

he is not at all honest and anything he says should be taken with a grain of salt.

[naive ember]

Here we go with the kpm nonsense nobody cares about

Since when did kpm matter?

[vocal tusk]

It doesnt

[naive ember]

I can go sit somewhere text on my phone for 10 min and still be #1 with 40 kills and a couple deaths

[vocal tusk]

My KPM is trash because I play conquest only.

[eager spire]

he plays BT, doesn't he? what's his excuse.

[vocal tusk]

Excuse for what? I just said it doesnt matter, so why would I care

[naive ember]

Half of my hours went into CQ

[chilly jacinth]

I don't think Dasher has said anything truthful in this discord ever

[eager spire]

yeah

like, i still think the "2042 is flawless and EA are perfect" thing is still an extended bit

I just wonder when he's gonna drop the bit because it's not that funny anymore

[vocal tusk]

Id prefer 5 of him than 1 of you tho, honestly speaking. At least they know when to drop something, and are clearing just joking around.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[eager spire]

Clearly
I said I think it's a bit. I'm not sure if it is.

I am mostly not joking.

[vocal tusk]

Exactly

[stray leaf]

Im on Xbox one . It doesn't allow me to play with new gen and pc players cuz of that?

[eager spire]

No, you can only play with people on old gen, which is probably where the issue is coming from.

[winter harness]

just found out the next battlefield will possibly have a battle royale mode

yayy!!!

[eager spire]

There's every possibility that it'll just die like the last time they tried to make a BR mode.

[winter harness]

i hope so, nobody wants it

why dont they just add a campaign co-op like bf3?

[verbal meteor]

well, is not dead, i can fin a match in like max 20 seconds, but sometimes it takes a minute to find one

like i am in EU and i always find a match

[stray leaf]

So not even pc... I see

[vocal tusk]

Yes, PC is considered the current gen version.

[stray leaf]

Nice way of stealing money I guess

Could have at the very least made 2042 new gen only

[fiery niche]

any1 wanna play bf2042?

[stray leaf]

Regret not buying bfv 😢

[torpid wadi]

You will be pleased to know it is still available for purchase

[verbal meteor]

ahh, i am looking rn at the steam charts and bf 2042 have 9K online and Delta Force have 93K

💀

[stray leaf]

Oh. Apparently I had to restart the game

Now I get full lobbies of real ppl wtf

[verbal meteor]

lol

[rose tree]

how me see my level?

[verbal meteor]

ing, i thing you need to go to the profile section

but you can see yours here in #stats

[rose tree]

did you got it?

Good old turn off and turn on tactics never dissapoint

[verbal meteor]

oh,ok

[stray leaf]

AI always have AI after their names right?0

[eager spire]

Theoretically, yes.

though the way some people play will have you questioning if that's actually true.

[naive ember]

It's already set at 100 on ps5

[potent wind]

yeah, give it a day or two, delta is utter shit compared to bf

[vocal tusk]

Once people start getting beamed by full auto sweats and get tired of the very similar feeling 5 maps, (next map coming in 4 months) they will stop playing the BF like mode.

The extraction mode is not for me, so I'll get bored of it very fast.

[naive ember]

CoD ad on twitch to see a Delta stream

[still vault]

I got bored of the alpha real quick

[real gyro]

Paid vs free game stats 😂

Ima have to try DF soon

[still vault]

Every time people mention "steam charts" I get a little bit more tired. The predictability of it happening and people mentioning it is what is off the charts.

[mellow onyx]

why's deathmatch the only active mode while the other ones aren't?

[still vault]

2042 has more than that

[real gyro]

I think it’s depending on ur region. Personally only global conflict is active

[still vault]

#other-games would be the place to discuss other games

[late creek]

the game and matches seem to be taking a hell of a lot longer to load and launch now, geeze.

fellas how do I get the T2 & T1 masteries? do I have to prestige or something

ive been non-stop killing for so long & apparently none counted 😭

[vital quail]

Kills against bots don't count after a certain point

Needs to be against real players

[real gyro]

ah thank you scott the man

damn it all

I wanted to say that was a heal gun too. imagination

[ivory canopy]

Welp, I am officially borked out of Battlefield 2042

EA literally overheard me say I was going to quit after getting T1 on every primary gun in the game, then came at me like "fuck you; you won't get the pleasure."

Guess I'll just uninstall.

[tight galleon]

I just tried the new game Delta Force and got a 'bit worse than 2042' vibe

then again i havent played 2042 in ages

[ivory canopy]

Apparently running a VM is a crime in itself. Oh well. Guess there's nothing holding me to stay on Windows anymore.

It's not even like I had any malicious intent; I do not cheat in-game and I never have nor would have.

Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.

Not like EA DICE will see this and be like, "we need Linux support, stat." Hell, they're probably laughing.

Won't find me on Battlefield anymore. I bid you guys farewell.

[merry schooner]

i agree delta force is a bit disappointing imo

[real gyro]

no big organizations takes that stuff for granted. sucks to hear u got the bitter end of it

[acoustic seal]

get kills, play the game normally

[sinful parrot]

How is the framerate compared to 2042?

If it runs better and has no mouse input bug ill already prefer it

[naive ember]

[untold flower]

@glacial quarry add me on df brudda

mf playing df early in the morning

no life

[lethal breach]

has anyone got a reliable fix for unable to load persistance error

Every couple weeks i keep getting this issue its infuriating

[tawny carbon]

The battlefield 2042 Chinese clone

[glacial quarry]

i just havent slept

idk if i like the game tbh

i went 140-20 first game lol. i dont like the movement and the weapon customisation is so confusing

[untold flower]

same

first game is bots i think

i thought they removed bots

idk if i like it either

[glacial quarry]

idt its all bots

cos someone called a guided missle

so i found out u can call guided missiles

then i called one in and got 13 kills ☠️

[warped pulsar]

Delta force TTK just seems super fast.

[glacial quarry]

ttk feels like battlebit

but delta force movement is so janky

[next onyx]

It's super easy to beam people.

[glacial quarry]

also leaves are bulletproof for some reason

[next onyx]

I think as well the guns have tonnes of range.

[glacial quarry]

ive only used the car15 so idk

but yeah it beams ppl

any weapon recommendations

[fervent rose]

[next onyx]

M4 was good during the beta. Ak12, AKM.

[glacial quarry]

ive been playing assault

[fervent rose]

the scar was nasty but its engineer only now

[next onyx]

Oh?

That's a shame.

[glacial quarry]

but basically i just want a gun thats beamy and decent in cqb

[next onyx]

Engie has battle rifles so you could give that a go. It has the xm7.

[glacial quarry]

the stat says battle rifle has 25 dmg only not sure how accurate that is

@next onyx which stat do u stack

[next onyx]

Uh

[glacial quarry]

ive been stacking handling and control but stability looks important

[next onyx]

I try to balance range control and not make handling dogshit.

[vital quail]

Um this is the #battlefield-2042 chat, use #other-games 🤓

[next onyx]

Sorry as I cant provide a proper answer. I think it's possible to work with slightly worse off handling if it means you can have more control and range.

[fervent rose]

i think priority is control > handling > stability

unless you're building a hipfire gun, and then accuracy matters

and unless they changed things always run a laser it increases your ADS a lot

[mental delta]

Day 58 on not being able to play the main rotation mode because Dice sucks and can't make a functional game after 3 years

Thanks both Dice and EA you're apparently both useless to the point we can't join a single session in your crazy ass game

Maybe it's time to stop making games and begin manufacturing toasters ?

Now I just discovered squad order mechanic is still bugged out 2 years after update

2 FUCKING YEARS since they've added squad orders and there's still this infamous bug where there's the 1 minute countdown before you get kicked out of squad leader role even if you give orders

I just can't keep it up with this fucking game

Real life subsonic rounds.

I love them in the game.

[vital quail]

That link tho

[frozen loom]

I should try defaulting all my guns to being silenced.

I tried to use a link shortener. The server bot took action and timed me out for 10 minutes.

[arctic grove]

whats the best way to unlock attachments

[vital quail]

Against bots in solo/co-op

[arctic grove]

oh okay

[frozen loom]

I unlock attachments doing solo breakthrough on the map Redacted in beginner difficulty.

[arctic grove]

and is the k30 good? it looks like a good gun

[vital quail]

Find a youtube video to watch, it will get boring tho

[frozen loom]

Use Irish to plop down a trophy and a barricade near the first objective and throw down an ammo pack. Then proceed to mow down all opposition.

[vital quail]

Yeah but falls off fast past like 20m

Maybe shorter

[arctic grove]

i dont know how to use the trophy im ngl

i cant seem to figure out how to choose it

[frozen loom]

Just click on Irish's gadget to swap between the barricade and trophy. Then, use it.

Just point it to a nearby ground.

[arctic grove]

oh

[frozen loom]

You'll see a projection of it.

[arctic grove]

Okay

[frozen loom]

You should be able to unlock all the attachments on each gun in 2-3 matches doing my strat.

[arctic grove]

should i try to unlock every gun first? im missing i think 5

[frozen loom]

I didn't

I just unlocked gun attachments I found interesting and switched to pistols when I got bored to unlock.

[arctic grove]

oh

[frozen loom]

I mean I unlocked all gun attachments, but I started with guns I found most interesting.

I unlocked 95% of them in one month.

[arctic grove]

I see

im mainly missing the guns that require levels

i cant unlock that gol sniper becuase i dont have a soflam

[frozen loom]

I just grinded solo breakthrough while listening to livestreams on a side monitor.

[arctic grove]

nice

i noticed theres 4 ammo types, which ones are the best

[frozen loom]

High-Power.

And Extended Mag.

Combined.

[arctic grove]

okay

[arctic grove]

I hate the sniper rifles

[frozen loom]

It's easier to level if you just use it close range with 1.25x sight.

Just hipfire it into oncoming enemies.

[arctic grove]

thats what ive been trying to do against bots

i need to get kills within 50 meters and with sws to unlock guns

[vital quail]

I've seen a few people mention directx causing issues and the most recent "solution" (idk if it worked) that I found when searching here is to update it

[hallow hinge]

i have it updated with updated drivers

[somber palm]

Hello

[acoustic seal]

talking to other players is toxic, sorry

[ripe dagger]

Got 2 questions

[night raven]

Nerf or nothing?

[ripe dagger]

1. What is SOFLAM?
2. What Map is good for over 200m Sniper Headshots?

Im new to the game btw

[night raven]

I know nothing about guns n shit. I just go based off stats n what they do lol

[ripe dagger]

Damn

What level you at?

[night raven]

Uhhhh

No clue

I,just pkay XD

[hallow nova]

Why is the update 40gbs

and it seems nothing got added

[chilly jacinth]

Cause it isn't 40gb

[vocal tusk]

Update would be small, then patch a partition of the game. Which is why youd see 40gb

[hallow nova]

wym by partition?

oh like its reparing a part of the main game that my files somehow corrupted or some?

[hallow nova]

hey bud real useful

im sure you have a ton of friends that say "Oh yeah !!!!!!!!!!, Arc got here"

[chilly jacinth]

Are you okay?

[hallow nova]

no Elias im not

are you the pro wrestler?

[chilly jacinth]

No

[hallow nova]

sad face

[vocal tusk]

No, like the game is split into patchable sectors. Only those sectors needing changing would be patched, not all of the game. Its why downloads for this game are small, compared to 80gb updates you would typically see in COD

[hallow nova]

I see ok

Yeah it said 40 then droped to 33 gb

then its verifying at 13gb

so its a confusing structure to me atleast

But im uneducated on this topic so I was just confused thanks

[vocal tusk]

My description was a very basic one, just to get the idea of whats happening across.

[hallow nova]

I assumed lol, it gives me a little insight on it

gta updates where the worst

50+ gb updates

so yeah it seems more easy to split files into sub divisions to update specfic aspects

[ripe dagger]

What is SOFLAM and how do i use it?

[sly creek]

Its basically a set of binoculars that have better spotting capabilities (enemies stay spotted for a lot longer than doing it normally), and allows you to designate vehicles for every engineer on the team. Designation allows for faster lock-on, increased range, and higher damage for every launcher in the game, including the rpg (enable lockon and improves damage), except for Liz's ability (tv missile)

[ripe dagger]

How can i equip it?

[sly creek]

Just through the loadouts menu, it takes up the gadget slot for recon where motion detectors, tracer darts, etc. are

For most recon players, they will be more effective hiding somewhere and never shooting, just designating every vehicle they can with the SOFLAM, than they will trying to snipe people.

[ripe dagger]

I dont have it in the Gadgets

[vocal tusk]

only recon have access

[wanton agate]

anyone playing bf2042 through steam?

[late creek]

me. everything seems fine

[wanton agate]

could you please check dm

Opening steam overlay works fine and I can use it, but when I close it game freezes for half a second before it comes back is that normal?

anyone knows if that's normal?

actually in game the game is still running, but takes half a second before I can move my mouse after closing overlay.

[kindred flint]

this game is fucked, the closer i get to t1ing the strife the more RNG is getting the best of me

[wanton agate]

you know if my issue is normal?

[kindred flint]

i have no idea

nothing is normal around here

[late creek]

@wanton agate im playing. idk about normal but yea it does pause for like 5 seconds after closing the overlay so idk

[mellow onyx]

does BF have ranks? or just the levels alone?

[wanton agate]

oh you got same issue? steam overlay right?

[late creek]

yea

[arctic grove]

is t3 the highest it goes fighting bots?

[dusty elm]

does channel by region exist for BF2042 Squad?

[real gyro]

yeah

[arctic grove]

Okay

[real gyro]

fellas

is it double xp or am i seeing things

[late creek]

it is 2xp. got excited when i logged in today..
whys the default MMR dm7 need 330 kills just to put a flashlight on it?? insane lol

[real gyro]

So am i now!!

[late creek]

im level 95. 5 more to 100 then i cant retire 😛

[acoustic seal]

that's like 5-6 decent breakthrough matches

[late creek]

idk, when does the red S ranks start?

[acoustic seal]

330 kills is like 5-6 breakthrough matches if you're actually playing the game

i think s001 starts after 100

[kindred flint]

jesus finally done with strife t1

[late creek]

cant get anything done when i go 8-26 😡

[late creek]

i thought thermal could see thru smoke?

[vital quail]

No

[acoustic seal]

no, players being able to make their own one-way angles would be really bad

or it would create "never take any sight but thermals" meta

neither are fun

[eager spire]

that would make the game really annoying to play, so no.

[kindred flint]

sounds like what the average thermal user wants

[acoustic seal]

flex those larp skills and pretend we have canned thermal smoke by the year 2042

ye, but he have 3373 kils and 300 deaths

You can load up solo breakthrough on redacted and get 1k kills against bots in 1 hour

Hello guys can someone help me with battlefield 2042? I need optics 12x for my sniper. It says i have to kill 30 players from distance more then 250m. I have got 19/30 . I just killed like 40 players from distance about 300 adn more and it doesnt changed......

[vital quail]

Does it specify headshots or anything

[spare quest]

You can unlock all attachments in solo/coop mode

[nova sedge]

i play throght server finder

[mental delta]

You may have played on Portal server with limited XP and progression which would explain why your challenge hasn't progressed

[nova sedge]

and can it be moded? boosted dmg or something like that?

[mental delta]

Which sniper ?

Ha if you're talking about the server yes

It's literally the reason why your progression has been blocked lol

Either increased damages or reduced playercount or stuff like this which blocks XP and progression

[nova sedge]

got it so i have to play what conquests or just solo/coop mode

[hollow raven]

hit alt + f4 to select the mode

https://help.ea.com/en/help-top-issues/?product=battlefield-2042

[mental delta]

Solo Conquest or Breakthrough yeah or just main mode

[nova sedge]

thank you so much i just recieved it 🙂

[mental delta]

No problems

[verbal meteor]

something it anoys me in bf 2042, in conquest, everytime i die, i dont know if its an aim problem, its like everytime someone is attacking me from behind, a heli just blow me up, when i shoot in someone somehow he get me first, things like that, the problem is that i dont have strategies ? or there is an aim problem ?

it is as if there is no order in the conquest

type 88 is a laser but thats the only good thing about it

RNG fucked me pretty good a couple times

dude turns and 1 taps me with an ntw

[spare quest]

skill

[real gyro]

wheres the rng in that

[kindred flint]

i hit him like twice then all the shots decided to dance around him

wasnt even that far away.. but sometimes its a laser at 100m, then other times close range i wonder what im doing wrong with my life besides continuing to play a discontinued shooter of course

[rocky gust]

Happens

God… please fucking remove SBMM from gaming if its not ranked

[kindred flint]

compounding issues though of bouncing around to like all the different flags on the map seemingly near the end, and getting in a spawn dying loop so fast and watching my team just throw the game

not that this shit surprises me, thats why i just laugh

[spare quest]

i think i reached the point where i can no longer enjoy 2042 when i´m sober, same shit happened in bfv

[rocky gust]

It is truly an eye opening experience

To just follow around a teammate

Id just watch while eating some popcorn and drink beer

[arctic grove]

Noted!

[amber rock]

Also I have some... questions regarding the weapon modification system in this game...

Why are we linking special ammo to a mag size?

And why couldn't we just get normal stuff, like why do most foregrips which irl are used for recoil control of some sort have literally nothing to do with recoil at all in the game.

Anyways I digress

[eager spire]

they felt like it.

[lilac tulip]

Hazard zone squad?

[arctic grove]

I think most ppl will tell you to refer to a spreadsheet or something. A dedicated bunch constantly updating the right stats

[kindred flint]

it really shouldnt be so astounding when its almost 2025, at just how trash the game is with 63 other players on your team the fucking dead weight potential is so unreal

[tidal hare]

for ea play on steam, it displayed that 13000boins is included with subscription

i dont think this is intended?

[rocky gust]

because daddy EA chooses what they want and the playerbase are pigs that should just cough up money like good pets

[tidal hare]

*in the BFC dlc page

[tidal hare]

for balancing reasons

and the fact that since we have + system so having anything more than 4 categories is gonna be not good

[eager spire]

I don't think the next game should have a plus system.

[tidal hare]

i am in general ok with plus system

[eager spire]

Honestly, making it so you can change attachments mid-life causes balancing issues.

[tidal hare]

though there are a lot of balancing issues that comes with it

and bugs

for example changing GL gives you a fully loaded one

regardless that if it was loaded or not

will have to admit that i abused that when the M16 GL was busted

[eager spire]

You can just suddenly have an underbarrel shotgun.

[tidal hare]

masterkey is dogshit so does not matter

the gl on the other hand

[eager spire]

doesn't matter, being able to just instantly have a shotgun attached to your gun is a balancing issue.

[tidal hare]

i guess you can count them as shotgun as it is so easy to direct hit someone

idk

it was a fun gimmick

and for big maps it somewhat helps

rarely tho

[rocky gust]

masterkey is dogshit?

LMFAO

[tidal hare]

my memory of it

which is at release

[kindred flint]

its pretty weird ngl

[tidal hare]

so not a good gauge i guess

like i would rather take gl which is one hit all ranges

than masterkey

[rocky gust]

not sure about that then, last i used it on my ak5c it was pretty nasty

[tidal hare]

at release i used it and damage was dog shit

so idk if things have changed now

[amber rock]

When I play Afghan MilSim I constantly switch my M16 from Eotech Comp & Grip to 6x & Bipod w/ Silencer

Huge balancing issue

[acoustic seal]

ok but why are you playing on that server in the first place

[kindred flint]

wait youre telling me milsim servers that crank up the damage, make weapons more lethal? mother of god

[amber rock]

I enjoy realistic style battles.

Even in 2042 modes I prefer hardcore modes that make even average assault rifles 1 or 2 hits.

[kindred flint]

so why are you surprised, that guns designed around 100% damage models arent balanced when you join servers above that damage threshold?

[fervent rose]

realistic style of 1 bullet to the toe = instant death

much realism

[kindred flint]

just like CoD knife

as god intended

[fervent rose]

so much fucking realism i am immersed

[acoustic seal]

how'd you end up playing 2042? this is the most arcade shooter on the market besides cod

[amber rock]

I mean that I can switch between them I'm not complaining about the dmg.

[kindred flint]

well yes the plus system fucks with balance in any mode

[amber rock]

It was on steam for $5 so I'm giving it a whirl

I've had lots of fun running around like my hair is on fire mad gunning at everyone on sight, do trust.

But I really enjoyed BF4, which was actually quite tactical esp for a game like this, and so I thought maybe they expanded on that magic but in a more technologically advanced setting.

My takeaways, Devs don't know what they're doing. Helicopters need a massive nerf, if you're playing anything with increased dmg or lower health stay away from vehicles, and 90% of the time on all maps no matter the mode you will be camped by snipers.

[acoustic seal]

this is like, the opposite of reality lol

[amber rock]

Oh and they hate 5.56 with a burning passion.

[amber rock]

You guys done picking at me like little birds?

[kindred flint]

probably not

[acoustic seal]

bf3/4 were the most arcadey bf entries in the series when they were new, idk where you get your ideas from

[amber rock]

I only ever played BF4 on hardcore so players weren't doing anything too crazy and most of the guys were on comms using realistic tactics so take that into consideration

[kindred flint]

you mean the rendezook wasnt realistic?

[acoustic seal]

oh there it is

you played weird hc servers instead of the base game and came away with a completely wrong idea of how the game worked

[amber rock]

Conquest & TDM were the best.

Let met help you-

I UNDERSTAND BF4 & BF2042 AREN'T REALISM BASED GAMES

This dude

I'm just here to have a good time and run through a few thousands rounds man

[acoustic seal]

yeah im kinda pissy but this is a really common thing that keeps happening where people have really strange ideas about how TACTICOOL bf is and then you find out they only played in 1000% damage toeshot crouch only servers, it makes talking about game mechanics really hard

[kindred flint]

you forgot the coms part

using ubisoft trailer gamer talk instantly makes any FPS better, its science

[amber rock]

I have to run through CQC training courses all the time, I go shooting religiously, I've been in combat several times, I work with Tier 1 guys, I KNOW how completely UNREALISTIC this game is, but it can scratch the itch when the atmosphere is right, all I'm saying

The trolls on BF2042 are worse than the damn balancing system, sheesh

[kindred flint]

we are dangerously close to a nave seal copy pasta

[mental delta]

What ?

[amber rock]

I'm not US Military.

[kindred flint]

Thats not a requirement for the copy pasta

[acoustic seal]

i'm not making any appeals to realism, i'm saying you have a warped view on how the game works from only playing in servers with modified mechanics

[amber rock]

I'm playing normal basic TDM right now I know the game has issues.

[rocky gust]

imagine playing in those dogshit fucking asswater afghan servers

LMFAOO

[amber rock]

I just hit a guy 3 times in the head and he didn't drop.

[rocky gust]

my brother, have you played csgo or r6s?

sounds like you'd like these more

[amber rock]

Can't stand either.

I'm a Ground Branch / Ready or Not / Arena Breakout Infinite / Tarkov / Arma 3 person

[rocky gust]

well then

there's your solution

[amber rock]

Yk what, that's what's great about 2042.

We can play the same game, and have 2 completely different, completely tailored experiences.

That's where the magic in 2042 is, no other game aside from Arma maybe let's you do that in the way BF2042 does.

[covert tundra]

eh, squad / hell let loose

[amber rock]

I don't know much about either, but add those to the list then

[covert tundra]

squad is also a bf type game, similiar to arma 3 but more realism / better graphics

arma is just old

[eager spire]

i mean you were complaining. "huge balancing issue"

[amber rock]

Yes, the ability to switch from an assaulting kit to a Marksman kit mid combat is unbalanced. If I'm in a 1000% server I know what I signed up for.

[eager spire]

...then why'd you talk about a balancing issue if you knew what you signed up for

[amber rock]

You guys tonight smh

[eager spire]

also the concept of people thinking BF4 is tactical is hilarious to me especially since my experience with the game is more like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58kl9Gt2S2E

[amber rock]

Ok, do you think that being able to completely at random change from a 1x to a 6x can be abused?

That's all I'm saying, the ability to switch attachments can be unbalanced.

[eager spire]

oh yes i agree.

I think the issue with more than just the sights though, being able to just suddenly have a grenade launcher or underbarrel shotgun mid-life is a balancing issue.

being able to change sight mid-life would not be as big of an issue if you weren't playing on a server where everyone dies in one shot.

[amber rock]

I used an example. That's all I was saying.

I think it's more of an issue on a normal HP server.

[eager spire]

yeah, but not cause you can change your sight, but for what i said, being able to suddenly have a underbarrel shotgun or grenade launcher mid-life.

[amber rock]

If I'm beyond your visual range, and you happen to be providing cover fire and hit a lucky shot then I'm dead, 1 hit I'm down and you did it with a 1x

On a normal HP server it wouldn't matter because you have to hit me at least 5 more times at that range, so the sight would drastically change that fight

[eager spire]

i can guarantee that nobody is changing sights mid-life in a normal server.

[amber rock]

I do it all the time in TDM

I run a 1x Thermal back up, and LVPO w/ Canted irons for primary

Anytime someone smokes it out I just flip soon as I get cover

[eager spire]

How often does that work out for you.

[amber rock]

If it's a normal smoke grenade 60%-70% of the time

If it's the stupid Assault smoke ability that blocks thermal then 0%

[eager spire]

...I think all smokes in this game block thermals, dude.

[frozen loom]

I switch 1.25x holo and thermal sights all the time in a single match.

[vital quail]

Thermal user spotted

[frozen loom]

[amber rock]

I've seen through smoke clouds before..

[vital quail]

Every1 laugh

[eager spire]

probably not from smoke grenades, i am pretty sure smoke grenades block thermals.

[frozen loom]

Thermal sights are objectively better, especially the 2.5x.

[eager spire]

they've done that since BF4.

[frozen loom]

[amber rock]

Well then I declare whoever made that decision the gayest man alive.

That's stupid asf

The whole damn point of thermal capability is to see through that sh-t

[eager spire]

why is that person gay, what does that have to do with anything.

[vital quail]

It's literally just game balance

[amber rock]

Fine, he's the dumbest man alive.

[amber rock]

Even COD knows that thermal is thermal.

[eager spire]

being able to create on demand one-way peaks would be incredibly unbalanced and also not fun at all.

[kindred flint]

wait

did i just read

[eager spire]

it would create a thermal meta.

[kindred flint]

thermals should be able to see through smoke

[amber rock]

Thermal is meta.

It highlights your body heat from forever away.

[eager spire]

They've not been able to do that since BF4.

DICE decided that isn't going to be a thing in BF4.

[kindred flint]

anyone know where to get a cheap lobotomy?

[vital quail]

Before they nerfed it in bf4, I would sit on a roof with a shotgun with frag rounds and thermal and repeatedly throw smoke grenades at my feet

[eager spire]

i'd offer an answer but i'd probably get banned

[vital quail]

Surely that was fun for everyone

[kindred flint]

b a l a n c e

people who want to use thermals in FPS games are precious ..aiming is just too hard, game gotta tell me exactly where to point

[amber rock]

Only for smoke.

Otherwise I find the color scheme confuses my brain and I miss things that normally I'd see and therefor shoot

[eager spire]

"ah yes i should be allowed to see through smoke and shoot at people who most likely can't."

"this is totally fair and also fun."

[amber rock]

Same in my irl experience, I hate running around with Thermal Goggles because after a while seeing in only heat color is completely disorienting. If I don't need it I don't want use it.

[amber rock]

If they want to see through smoke they should've brought a thermal.

[rocky gust]

?

this is a fucking game

[amber rock]

We're talking about seeing through smoke

I'm aware this is the BF2042 server

[eager spire]

we're talking about a video game

sir this is a video game

[rocky gust]

AH YES LETS LET THERMAL SEE THROUGH SMOKE LMAO

LMFAOOOO

[amber rock]

I'm done here.

[kindred flint]

and walls, and let the boolets piece through walls

[eager spire]

like DICE already determined that allowing thermals to see through smoke grenades is fucking awful for gameplay.

Back in BF4.

[amber rock]

That's dumb.

[kindred flint]

which part?

[amber rock]

Fuck you too. Never said anything about being better than anyone else.

[rocky gust]

UH IN MY IRL EXPERIENCE

no one cares mate

[amber rock]

Thermal can't see through walls lmao

[kindred flint]

bro he knows tier 1 operators from meal team 6

[rocky gust]

im cooked then

[amber rock]

I don't work with Seal Team 6.

[kindred flint]

i know they cant see through walls, but this is a game and if someone is hiding behind a wall i should be able to see them there

[eager spire]

DICE already did research on this and looked through gameplay data and determined "yeah this sucks" back in 2013

which is why they decided to make it so they don't do that.

[kindred flint]

its objectively bad for my health to not be able to use wall hacks err thermals to see every enemy on the map

[amber rock]

I don't want wall hacks. I just want a proper functioning thermal.

Thermals can't see through windows, I would love if that was a challenge I faced in the game as well.

[eager spire]

Then you probably should play a different game.

[amber rock]

Glass completely blocks thermal imaging.

[arctic grove]

have we considered that this is a video game and certain liberties are taken to improve quality of gameplay instead of being hyperrealistic

[eager spire]

yes we've already mentioned this

[arctic grove]

you want hyperrealism go play tarkov or gzw

[kindred flint]

yes but objectively smokes being able to stop thermals is amazing for balance purposes otherwise every moron would be using it and the game would be even more brain dead easy for them

[arctic grove]

not a game made by ea LMAO

[amber rock]

Yes they just keep pestering me.

[eager spire]

pesterpesterpesterpesterpester

[kindred flint]

like its bad enough i can barely make out an enemy before ADSing but i can just spam Q and see where they are easily

[vital quail]

Casper mains when I can just spot them after they spent 10 minutes finding a hiding spot

[kindred flint]

casper mains when i lissile them from 300m away

[vital quail]

Ghillie suit is noob bait fr

[amber rock]

COD MWII was by far the closest they've come to a realistic/tactical installment & Hardcore was on point, these are all things they had with realistic function and it didn't ruin the game, most ppl don't even use smoke. I was just surprised Battlefield didn't follow suite. All I'm saying.

[eager spire]

MW22 was also dogshit from a gameplay perspective and everyone who likes having fun in a video game fucking hated it.

Because it was designed out of spite for everyone that had fun playing MW19.

[amber rock]

And before any of you say go play that instead I'm just making a comparison

[eager spire]

I wouldn't recommend anyone play that fucking game.

[rocky gust]

mw2 was probably the worst one yet lmao

2022 ofc

[acoustic seal]

i dont get motion sickness and watching people play these new cods makes me motion sick because of how much shit bounces around

even the fucking crosshair bounces around more than your average vtuber model

vile, cant imagine staring at it for 1000 hours

[amber rock]

I left COD forever soon as they created the ability to superman dive off a damn tower

I left when they tried to make their own 2042

[arctic grove]

mw2 is also not the same kind of game as battlefield lol

[eager spire]

this guy would watch OG MW2 trickshotting montages and have an aneurysm about how it's not realistic.

[arctic grove]

mw2 is not on huge ass maps with millions of sightlines

[eager spire]

man would get so mad he'd have a stroke and fall off his chair.

[amber rock]

Ik, they tried to make their own version of that type of gameplay and it didn't hit
