battlefield-2042

[brittle wind]

Yeah

[next onyx]

Yo's idea has been in my head for a while now and I really like it.

Delta force has it but its barely there

[abstract night]

I don’t think you should be able to just laser someone up to 100 meters easily, for a mix of balancing and immersion reasons.

Balancing: maps will have massive deadzones

Immersion; guns just don’t feel strong or powerful

[eager spire]

you add more recoil control requirements to this game, people are gonna be annoyed with it, particularly console players.

[next onyx]

You can increase the degrees of horizontal recoil and make guns wildly inaccurate in a range.

[eager spire]

Console players already get less recoil by plugging in a controller.

[brittle wind]

One movement tech I don't want to see the return is manual leaning of BFV honestly

[eager spire]

You ask 'em to actually control recoil, they're gonna leave.

[next onyx]

Thats not gonna be the end of the world.

[brittle wind]

Headglitching is a huge issue in DF as far as I heard

[abstract night]

Leaning just isn’t useful in a BF game I agree

[brittle wind]

Due to manual leaning

[abstract night]

The TTK is too long to prioritize it

[next onyx]

I abused leaning to shit.

[eager spire]

probably will be for EA's bottom line so they won't do it

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[next onyx]

I would rather not have leaning come back in.

Totally.

[eager spire]

I like leaning, but I can understand not having it in.

[abstract night]

Actually I dunno leaning is cool cause you obviously don’t have to expose 1/2 of your characters body. But sometimes the gameplay is too fast for it to matter

[brittle wind]

Leaning is fine but if it causes massive headglitches or people abusing it mid fight it's not fun

[next onyx]

When you get into the habit of it leaning is the best offensive tool.

It's so stupid.

It's great defensively too!

[abstract night]

Bring leaning back

[brittle wind]

Bro has an issue with slide but not with leaning lol

[next onyx]

I'd be up for cods new contextual leaning.

Literally it's the contextual leaning fad that died out because it was so buggy and now they actually made it work but nobody cares.

[eager spire]

maybe Bo6 wasn't a great vehicle game for it.

[next onyx]

No? People just don't care anymore. We're all used to new mechanics it just filters out.

[brittle wind]

I don't care much about contextual leaning honestly, I think BF can do fine with leaning or no leaning but leaning shouldn't be a crutch, I don't want every duel to have some people leaning left to right like a spaz

[next onyx]

As in new mechanics are made all the time to the point where we just don't notice.

Come to xbox oce bf5 labinlima.

[brittle wind]

Or headglitchers who can abuse that system and oneshot you

[next onyx]

You'll see how bad it is abused here

[brittle wind]

Well I don't have an xbox lol

[severe hill]

I mean it depends on the object the player is hiding behind to execute it.

[next onyx]

Ah fair.

[severe hill]

That's why I just UCAV head glitchers.

[eager spire]

do you sit in spawn to do that

[severe hill]

I push, if I get sniped or shot at from a rock or structure.

I give em the Ukraine visit

[abstract night]

Something like bfvs manual leaning would be fine

Rainbow six siege had a big problem with what you were talking about when it was new and then they added a delay for switching lean direction

[brittle wind]

Next BF should have a good progression, people underestimate the importance of camo grind which 2042 lacks severely

[abstract night]

As for headglitching idk. Make bullets come out of the gun barrel as opposed to center of the players screen?

[severe hill]

There is grinding for camos, with your wallet.

[brittle wind]

Yeah lol

[eager spire]

how many times do you get pushed and shot at doing this.

[brittle wind]

Progression in 2042 in general isn't good imo

[abstract night]

Not even just camo progression but also attachment, gun, vehicle, vehicle attachment/modifications and more. BF games feel so lackluster with progression

[brittle wind]

360 kills to unlock attachments, insane

[abstract night]

2042 is certainly the most boring with progression

[severe hill]

2042 is a shell with no substance

[abstract night]

Indeed

[brittle wind]

BF3-4 had battlepacks which was the best system they had

[abstract night]

I did not personally like battlepacks

[severe hill]

The challenge of unlocking guns are diabolical.

[next onyx]

I hate to say it but dice don't exactly want to do the carrot on the stick approach with progression, like with camo grinds and challenges.

[severe hill]

To unlock that one smg, I have to play a mode nobody plays.

[eager spire]

i mean let's be realistic, the battlepacks in BF3/BF4 were not fantastic, it wasn't like they added cool things to unlock, all the guns had the same attachments and camos.

[brittle wind]

Yeah but compare that to BFV or 2042's progression

[abstract night]

The battle pack rng is why I still don’t have attachments for most guns despite playing bf4 for the last 9 yrs

[eager spire]

i wouldn't mind that if i liked the gameplay

which i do on BF4

but didn't on BF1.

[severe hill]

I think new weapons should come in as available rather than being a challenge to unlock them. Just the attachments should a challenge.

[brittle wind]

In 2042 you unlock carbon and then it wants you to have 1000 kills for the next free skin

[brittle wind]

Agreed

[severe hill]

Xfad drauger you need 5000 kills to unlock one napalm bomb that doesn't really do anything.

[vital quail]

T1 really doesn't take that long

[abstract night]

I do not agree,

[brittle wind]

I think it does

20 matches with the same gun

[abstract night]

I think doing challenges with similar weapons to whatever category the new one is in is a good system

[brittle wind]

At the minimum

[abstract night]

There’s gotta be something to work for

[severe hill]

Kidnapping

[abstract night]

[severe hill]

We should get HiMARs into the next Battlefield

Vs the tos-1

[brittle wind]

Shared attachments would be nice at least for sights, I don't want to unlock same red dot for every single weapon seperately, it doesn't take that long but still

[abstract night]

I’m ok with that

Speaking of attachments there should be more

[brittle wind]

I actually want less honestly lol

[abstract night]

Even if a lot are the same magnification or stats as others. I just want more stuff to customize my gun with

[brittle wind]

I dislike gunsmith systems

[abstract night]

Alright that’s unacceptable

[brittle wind]

Especially when you can fine tune it like DF to make no recoil weapons

Makes all the weapons samey

And less unique

[next onyx]

Base attachments plus weapon perks would be the way to go i reckon.

Makes the guns more distinct but also adding that degree of fine tuning.

Add "impossible" attachments really.

[brittle wind]

Like a mix of 3-4-2042 and V?

[next onyx]

Yea

Unique perks to the weapon to make its performance unique and attachments to further it.

To patch it up.

[brittle wind]

I see

It can work honestly

It would be better than gunsmith of CoD and DF at least in terms of variety

All the weapons feel similar with gunsmith

[abstract night]

I don’t think the CoD gunsmith actually has any significant problems besides like, ui

[brittle wind]

I think it does

There is no reason to use Bizon when you can use drum mag on all SMGs

[abstract night]

The weapons feeling similar is just laziness on devs parts cause they’ve got so many players that hate if CoD guns have any recoil at all

[brittle wind]

Bizon's whole thing is it's mag size, at least in video games

[pine roost]

Only thing I can think of is the sheer level of customisation leading to overtuned combinations that could be nigh impossible to balance as adjusting the attachment affects all others

I’ve heard of Warzone metas that feel even more stale when people just run those op combos but some players don’t even have the parts to achieve that

[abstract night]

Simple solution; we delete warzone

Jokes aside I get it

[pine roost]

Frankly though, I know I don’t care for it much. I always go for accuracy and recoil control+ in everything, not fussed by altering the weapon too much

Especially when to make it more prevalent they do what mw2 did and slap on movement penalties for every single one. Perfectly contempt with 2042’s system without the plus swap

[brittle wind]

I'm fine with 2042's attachment system without ammo swap

One sight, one muzzle, one underbarrel

[abstract night]

Plus menu was okay, I kinda feel like being able to go from short range to long range in 3 seconds presented its own weird balancing though

[brittle wind]

Few weapons benefited from that too

BSVM for example

[frozen loom]

I just joined too.

[brittle wind]

Or laser gun

[severe hill]

Plus system was a hit and miss.

[brittle wind]

But for most weapons it was just free ammo

[severe hill]

That fact that you can't have both the grip and laser/flashlight is what threw me off.

Because they are in the same cat.

[pine roost]

Honestly the maps have a huge influence on which you go for

[severe hill]

Because it was originally a BR mechanic before they ditched the concept and went back a Battlefield

Aka 2042

[next onyx]

I think the Plus system is actually pretty good as it lessens the annoyance and makes the guns more personal.

It's definitely one of the things I actually don't have problems with.

[brittle wind]

I just don't like different types of ammo honestly

They can replace that with another attachment slot

[severe hill]

Replace the mag section with a grip section

[brittle wind]

Yeah

[severe hill]

You got your muzzules, laser/flashlight, scopes, and grips.

Perfect plus system.

[brittle wind]

Ammo can be a perk like BFV's system

Like do you want to go for extended mag or light bolt which increases rate of fire

[severe hill]

Frag rounds

[brittle wind]

Lol

[frozen loom]

Played Battle of the Bulge map for the first time.

Festive.

[pine roost]

Although the extra ammo per refill is definitely useful. As long as the type fits

[placid echo]

Getting some close matches today

We already got that last year

[silent perch]

day 3 complaining about not seeing online friends on the ea app or in game 😦

[tight glade]

im looking for a more dedicated group to run with on 2042. had 2 guys join VC and we placed best squad in 3 matches XD i need more like that lol. if anyone is intrestead shoot me a DM :D

[brittle wind]

All my BF friends are playing V instead of 2042

I like how balanced classes are in 2042 compared to V, despite 2042 originally not having class system honestly

In BFV assault wasn't that good unless you wanted to go after tanks/planes, support was the least useful class due to ammo/health crates being in everywhere

Support also had the worst weapons

In 2042 medic and recon are on par with V but assault is also extremely useful in maps like haven or manifest, I used to dread those maps until I picked up Mackay

Engineer is also very useful due to LMG buff compared to V

[silent perch]

we jus cant squad up period.

ea app is broken? idk but no one shows online. all on PC all been friends for years 😕

[brittle wind]

Works fine for me

[surreal hound]

Hi i was playing game from gamepass but i dont pay for it now, when i buy game on steam will i have progress from gamepass. I have EA Linked

[brittle wind]

I think so

[rocky gust]

what lmao

support had fg 42 and BAR on top of grenade pistols and ammo crate, what are you talking about

assault has some of the best primary weapons for cqb and had access to SLRs to deal with mid-long range, bread and butter class

[junior cape]

@wicked lion shenanigans?

[silent perch]

did for me too until about a week ago. no idea why it went bad

[brittle wind]

LMGs with 20 round mags ain't it, many assault rifles has bigger mag sizes

LMGs already suffers from having worse sprintout and ads times so no need to hinder that even more

BAR is also terrible, FG42 is pretty good though

[brittle wind]

Problem of SLRs is that they are worse than bolt action carbines

Jungle carbine can kill 10 people with a single mag if you are good with headshots, most SLRs can kill max 4

Assault was worse than medic as a combat class because medic also had infinite healing

In 2042 however assault buffs are huge at least for Zain and Mackay

All assault specialists also has access to med pen and armor plates which is also very important for survivability of assault compared to V

[rocky gust]

attrition was probably the worst system

love depending on idiot teammates to heal and resupply

[frosty roost]

Are other people getting CTD's on Discarded 128?

[naive ember]

Nope

[halcyon grotto]

128 player, only map we get is discarded and it crashes the game

[true zodiac]

discarded is broken

[rocky gust]

discard the map from the game ty

[robust spruce]

Yes, conquest 128 is borked...crashes on Discarded

[surreal cloud]

yea

128 servers are down?

[robust spruce]

64 works fine but not 128...every new search ends with Discarded and game crash to desktop

[low coral]

yea I got kicked

[abstract night]

That’s actually insane lol

[plush solstice]

How to fix zoom level not existing?

When I zoom with sniper, no zoom is present

[vital quail]

? What do you mean

Scopes have a fixed zoom unless it's stated

[topaz vine]

damn i was trying to fix the crash for half an hour now and thought its my drivers

gotta love this game

[surreal cloud]

me 2 😭

[topaz vine]

how many maps are there for 64 player conquest? bf2042 ones only i mean

[vital quail]

Every map is for 64

[dull hawk]

Oh okay. So 128 Conquest is not working on any platforms?

[topaz vine]

arent the maps too big for 64 players?

[vital quail]

Different layouts in 64

For most of the maps at least

[topaz vine]

also thats normal that the game likes to stutter like hell?

maybe thats shaders loading?

[orchid tusk]

thats some pretty wild speculation there

[topaz vine]

idk but i feel like my r5 3600 doesnt like this game much

[orchid tusk]

idk i'd think it'd be alright

[surreal cloud]

please fix 128 players conquest

[plush solstice]

I can't load into game

TDM just crashes

[merry heart]

man i always forget that the BSV has such a small ammo pool

[naive ember]

[merry heart]

[zealous loom]

Yeah my r5 3550H dies when I play this game, so I bought an Xbox.

When I press and release W, I keep walking for 5 seconds, same for when I press and release shoot.

Gonna build a PC early this coming year though, I cannot stand controller

I just got super unlucky, if my CPU had like 5% extra power it'd be fine but no

[plush solstice]

So many trash AI soldiers during normal matches

[rotund minnow]

conquest 32 man is needed in new BF or bust

[merry heart]

man how do you deal with a Draugr player

[plush solstice]

Shoot them down

[merry heart]

its kinda hard when they go stealth or something idk

[limpid pond]

What happened to Alex the devil?

Dev*

[eager spire]

He left DICE, I think he works for "TTK Games" now

which has announced literally nothing as far as I can tell

I don't know why he even announced what studio he was moving to, considering how he acts when faced with any direct commentary about his decisions.

[limpid pond]

I don't know man. I liked him alot. But then again I'm slightly biased because I asked him to add a gun to the game and he did

[eager spire]

He was gameplay designer, and he made a lot of poor choices regarding gameplay.

Main one that comes to mind is the SMG headshot multiplier nerf

lemme find the quote about that

[limpid pond]

Yeah I get that. As a smg main player I did think that was stupid. But I did ask him to add the b&t apc9 to the game because it fit the style and they did exactly that

But I was bummed about the smg hs nerf

[eager spire]

"We feel that SMG's should not reward accuracy versus other weapon types".

genuinely insane rationale from the gameplay designer on an FPS game.

[echo yew]

Who tf said that what

The more i play other fps games, the more concerned i grow with how bf25 will handle movement

delta force might have the worst movement i have seen in an fps game in years, its the worst aspects of slow milsim movement mixed with the worst aspects of crackhead cod movement

[eager spire]

this was a developer comment on the update that nerfed the headshot multiplier for SMG's from 1.5x to like, 1.15x or something like that.

[echo yew]

insane

Okay wait

if its headshot damages.... okay i guess but bruh

[eager spire]

at the time the pistols had a 2x headshot multiplier

and this resulted in the G57 being one of the best pistols in the game

[echo yew]

tbh pistols should reward accuracy

im tired of pistols that get 10-15 hitmakers and my enemy is still half health

[eager spire]

tbh, rewarding accuracy should be a constant thing.

it shouldn't be influenced by the category of gun you're using.

[dusty elm]

I just buffed/nerfed the G57 to 0-10 meters 1 headshot kill & 2 bodyshot kill, 10-20 meters 2 headshot kill & 3 bodyshot kill, 20-30 3 headshot kill & 4 bodyshot kill, 30-34 6 headshot kill & 6 bodyshot kill, greater than 34 meters no damage

[echo yew]

what

[eager spire]

you realize the G57 is a burst pistol right

So basically you've created a pistol that can one burst out to 30 meters.

[dusty elm]

thats in portal

[echo yew]

the glock isnt a power pistol it should not... 1 shot

anywhere

under any circumstances

[eager spire]

you realize it's a burst pistol right

[echo yew]

2 shot is the limit and that should be if both shots hit the head

[dusty elm]

yeah is fast

[eager spire]

did you think about this at all.

okay i just read more of this, you're insane.

[dusty elm]

not really I usually test it in the game then adjust it as needed

[eager spire]

2 bodyshot kill up to 10 meters
3 bodyshot kill up to 20 meters

You need to get out of the kitchen.

[dusty elm]

so 2 headshot kill with the 10 meter range?

[eager spire]

you're not cooking.

[echo yew]

the g57 in 2042 is a burst pistol

and afaik there's no difference with damage in semi vs burst

[eager spire]

there is not

because why would there be

[echo yew]

other games do

its.... okay for balance ig

[eager spire]

other games don't make much sense, but then again, most other games don't have a pistol that can oneburst to the head at any range

[dusty elm]

I just tested it for the first time & getting shot within the 10 meters range feels like insta kill with the G57

[eager spire]

and you think this is a good thing.

you think this is balanced.

[dusty elm]

I'll take your advise & adjust it

[eager spire]

I don't know how you came to this conclusion in the first place.

Do you even play the video game.

[dusty elm]

well the guns are way off balance so I had to start somewhere

[echo yew]

eh

[eager spire]

and you've somehow made it worse.

Congratulations.

[echo yew]

2042's balance might be the least bad i've seen recently

[dusty elm]

in game the G57 has a effective range of 300+ meters

[eager spire]

BF1's balance is fine. Gameplay is bad tho.

[eager spire]

just you try to hit anything at 300+ meters with the G57, dude.

[echo yew]

idk all i know is that delta force's balance is abysmal, worst i've seen in years

[eager spire]

that's not a practical range.

[dusty elm]

you can if you try

[echo yew]

mw3 was also garbage

bo6 too

[eager spire]

why would you ever want to do that, when you have a primary weapon that can probably do that easier.

[dusty elm]

what if the primary has no bullets left

[eager spire]

you know you can switch mags via the plus system and get more ammo that way

[sullen vessel]

To the daily players of this game: should I give up on the T1 Vehicle mastery Achievement? I come back to this game every year trying to get it, but the grind instantly disinterests me

It’s the last one I need

[echo yew]

is it fun for you?

if no, then don't continue

[dusty elm]

no never use the plus system

[echo yew]

if yes, then why not

[eager spire]

i mean if you don't like playing the game, then why bother.

[sullen vessel]

HELL NO

[echo yew]

????????

Literally 2042's best feature

[eager spire]

well, that's a thing in the video game.

[sullen vessel]

Squadmates never coordinate/ stay alive. I have every other trophy, so it would be a shame to not get the platinum after suffering through that launch

[echo yew]

god i need BF25 to not fuck up

like its really simple to just make a good fps game the bar is on the fucking floor

[sullen vessel]

The Finals is more Battlefield than this Battlefield

[echo yew]

If they listen to the milsim nerds it's so over

[eager spire]

how so

[echo yew]

I'm never getting over the fact someone on reddit actually said "no jumping" seriously

Like piss off

[eager spire]

you know what would be funny

[echo yew]

what

[sullen vessel]

Proper custom classes & the destruction system I think we all expected 2042 to have

[eager spire]

If they pulled out a thing they did back in Bad Company 2, and just completely removed prone from the game.

Just do not have prone in the video game.

[echo yew]

yeah i'd give up gaming completely

(no)

[sullen vessel]

(Just realizing The Finals also does not have prone) 👀

[eager spire]

Proper custom classes
I am not sure what you mean

destruction system i think we all expected 2042 to have
i'm gonna be honest with you i do not give a singular fuck about destruction.

like

i think The Finals' level of destruction is a bit much.

The Finals is a significantly smaller scale of game.

[sullen vessel]

To each their own

[echo yew]

add dolphin diving, in fact just fuck it, add the omnidirectional diving bo6 has, actually banger mechanic that would be right at home in a battlefield game

[eager spire]

You put that in a larger scale game, it's going to suck.

[abstract night]

destruction is very significant to the franchise as it used to be a selling point of the games

[sullen vessel]

Well I think we learned 128 player maps was a mistake

[echo yew]

i'll keep saying it

[eager spire]

I think there is a practical limit to how much destruction should be in a Battlefield game. You have too much, you risk making the maps suck to play on for long periods of time and you end up with people leaving as soon as cover goes away.

[abstract night]

"dont listen to the milsim crowd" yet wants it to be a movement shooter

theres gotta be some balance

[eager spire]

movement shooters are fun.

[echo yew]

i did not say all of the omnimovement

tbh im happy with dolphin diving

[abstract night]

dolphin diving is ok to me

i just cant agree on a spam slide but generally anything else is fine and counterable

[sullen vessel]

We’re cool with rendezooks but omnimovement is where we draw the line?

[eager spire]

i like sliding.

[echo yew]

like fucking hell MWII's movement would be okay to me, i just want the ability to get the fuck out of a stream of bullets coming my general direction, being stuck with unresponsive movement is actually abysmal, just look at delta force

[abstract night]

I just don't like movement that feels exhausting to constantly have to counter

[eager spire]

i think that just might be you being bad

[sullen vessel]

Blow them up

[abstract night]

naw

[echo yew]

shotgun.

[abstract night]

i adapt because thats the only way to compete, but the problem lies there

im ok with some skill gap in movement but if its a constant thing the gameplay is going to become very exhausting

[eager spire]

then maybe the game isn't gonna be for you.

[abstract night]

ive dropped some games for that, i dont think its good for general player retention

[abstract night]

yea just like the game isnt for you if you cant slide cancel right? again we need balance

[echo yew]

like no amount of slide cancel and bunny hopping sweat is able to survive me walking straight towards them and me putting them inside the effective range of a good shotgun

[eager spire]

I don't think games need 700,000,000 million players at all times to be successful.

[echo yew]

that is until SHG told me to go fuck myself and nerfed the 870 to oblivion and forced me to use.... the f2000... lol, lmao

[abstract night]

it just needs to be inviting enough for casuals but also comp/dedicated players

[abstract night]

yea i heavily dislike shg ngl

people pooped on iw for mw22 but sheesh man

[echo yew]

making the f2000 meta is certainly a choice

[eager spire]

that is funny

[echo yew]

it is

[eager spire]

nerfing shotguns is hilarious

[echo yew]

i just stuck to the mp9 until i couldn't be bothered with mw3 anymore and uninstalled

[abstract night]

a very good idea cuz mw3 keeps rubber banding me now

like its nonstop

[eager spire]

yeah, but removing all forms of active/aggressive movement is not a good idea.

[echo yew]

mwII was pretty overhated ngl

[abstract night]

no point in buying a 60 dollar game that intentionally breaks my server connection

[sullen vessel]

What is the tickrate in this game

[eager spire]

no it wasn't.

[abstract night]

true i agree that would be boring

[sullen vessel]

It feels BAD coming back to it after a year

[echo yew]

Now i'll be lying if i said i didn't like MWIII's movement more, thing is mw3 isn't fun to play

[abstract night]

mwii had very bad design choices like a red dot sight significantly increasing ads time, and keeping a lot of what made mw19 bad, but i liked it

[eager spire]

MW22 was a product of spite. Infinity Ward saw people having fun with MW19 after they found out slide cancelling was a thing, and then made it their mission to completely gimp all forms of fun and active movement, actively punishing players for wanting to move around and have fun playing the video game.

[abstract night]

they should have never taken bunnyhops away, but i was able to live without slide cancel

[echo yew]

the ads penalties were fucking hysterical what do you mean a supressor adds 300 miliseconds of aim time to my fucking SMG

[abstract night]

mw3 is too fast and too cheesy, it is hell incarnate

[echo yew]

you see

[eager spire]

MW22 was IW looking at people having fun in MW19 and being like "fuck you."

[echo yew]

were they really

[eager spire]

yes.

It is the only justification for why MW22 is like that.

IW saw people having fun in MW19, identified all the reasons people were having fun in the game, and then surgically removed all of it or made all of it worse.

[echo yew]

not on the map design

[eager spire]

There is no other justification for why it's like that.

[echo yew]

you will not tell me mw19 has good maps

[eager spire]

Map design doesn't matter if the gameplay is actively worse because IW hated people having fun.

besides it's not like MW22's maps were very good either.

[echo yew]

you know what i'll agree on some aspects

the jumping penalty was an insane choice to make

[eager spire]

like, MW19 was not a perfect game by any stretch of the imagination.

But people really liked it, and people had fun with it, especially after slide cancelling and bhopping became a thing.

[abstract night]

mw22 maps did feel ai made tho

[echo yew]

and removing slide cancelling would be fine if they, i don't know, allowed me to hipfire or even aim while sliding, making it useful

[abstract night]

like omg they were awful to play on

[eager spire]

IW fucking hated that.

[echo yew]

tac stance on mw3 was class ngl

[eager spire]

So they gimped all of that, made the game actively slower, punished anyone who wanted to actually play the game in an aggressive manner.

[echo yew]

idk i played the game pretty aggresive across the whole year

[abstract night]

i just ads'd everywhere

[eager spire]

Likely in spite of IW's design choices.

[echo yew]

the minimap choice was actually backwards

like piss off

i get it on shit like dmz

[eager spire]

they wanted people to play it like it was a more realistic game, because that was probably what they were trying to do with MW19, make CoD into a more realistic shooter.

[echo yew]

(i love dmz)

that's exactly their focus

[eager spire]

yeah, but here's the thing.

CoD is not meant to be realistic.

It's not going to be.

you can't tell me a game with the High Alert perk is really going for realism.

[echo yew]

I agree, and i do think iw took it too far with the penalties, specially the jumping ADS thing, but after playing delta force i actually felt mw2 as a fast game

at least it was responsive

like why is there over a fucking second of delay of me clicking my key to prone and my player character actually going into prone position what the fuck

[eager spire]

MW19 was the best of the modern CoD games. It still sucked ass.

[echo yew]

MW19 was fun yeah

on like

2 maps

shoot house and khandor hideout

hey guys whats worse

azhir cave or launch hourglass

(its hourglass no diff)

hourglass was not made for gameplay, it was made for cinematic trailers and i'll die on this hill

[abstract night]

its not that it was that bad it was just a lot slower and more punishing. i play my games for a mix of gameplay and immersion factor so i really liked mw19 and 22, its fine that its not for everyone though

[echo yew]

anyway adding dolphin diving to battlefield

[eager spire]

things that suck about MW19:
-Maps
-Weapon balancing, primarily with regards to DLC weapons
-Perk balance (High Alert and Overkill can fuck off)
-Cheesy gameplay motivated by the lackluster weapon balance and shit perks
-The Marksman Rifle category existing (why? why have this in the game if they're just "sniper rifles but faster"?)

[abstract night]

i agree and i amend my stance on omnidirectional diving as well

i mean it makes sense to be able to dive backwards to avoid a bomb or smth

[echo yew]

idk just let me move the fuck away from that helicopter prick

[abstract night]

wait, whats wrong with overkill?

[echo yew]

cheese

[echo yew]

spot on but don't forget the minimap

btw fuck the mw19 as val

[eager spire]

I don't like the ability to carry two primaries. because it allowed for shit like AS VAL-CR56-Any AR In The Game/725, AR/Sniper-Marksman, or Sniper/725

[echo yew]

god the 725 was hysterical

[abstract night]

the mw19 as val was so op on launch u could easily wallbang in shipment

i remember that

[eager spire]

It made pistols redundant. becsuse why run a pistol when you can just run a shotgun or a sniper rifle and be much more versatile?

[echo yew]

it also is a 3 shot kill while shooting at like 950 rpm

literally 100 ms ttk

no reaction time

[eager spire]

therefore, fuck Overkill.

You should not be allowed to carry two primary weapons off spawn.

[echo yew]

the asval isn't even a hard weapon to balance

overkill would ruin battlefield ngl

on cod, eh no

[eager spire]

I think it makes gameplay annoying and cheesy and it shouldn't be there.

[abstract night]

overkill prolly wouldnt even conceptually work in bf with weapon class restrictions

so we're probably good

[echo yew]

hey guys imagine the ntw-50 with pp29 secondary

actual nightmare scenario

Just make pistols good

[eager spire]

and also, quick bit about High Alert, hey, let's make a perk that makes it so people can't effectively sneak up on you, you have free information with basically no counter, and you can't readily tell if someone has it or not, the only way you can tell is if someone immediately turns to face you as you spot them.

Who the fuck thought this was a good idea.

[abstract night]

classic cod cheese

[echo yew]

no a 400 rpm cap semi auto glock shouldn't take 6 shots to kill, yeah no shit it should not be outcompeting smgs or ARs but i should be able to defend myself with it

[eager spire]

Not even classic CoD cheese

even the older CoD's did not have cheese like this.

This is bullshit.

[abstract night]

lol true i just meant classic as in its very typical

[eager spire]

typical CoD cheese is juggernaut or second chance.

[echo yew]

oh my god FUCK last stand

[abstract night]

second chance is a joke nowadays fortunately

as for martyr

[eager spire]

yeah but it's still annoying regardless

[abstract night]

we need that back

[eager spire]

no we don't

[abstract night]

[echo yew]

but again

[plush solstice]

Why do I keep having like 50% bot lobbies

[echo yew]

Dice its actually super easy to not fuck up 2025, just don't do it

[echo yew]

cause the game is kinda dead

[eager spire]

DICE are known for finding new and unique ways to fuck things up

[echo yew]

All AAA studios are

[plush solstice]

Anything related to EA has that magic trait

[abstract night]

its like an unwritten rule for corporations to take 1 step forward and 2 back

[obsidian lotus]

the new dragon age sucked i can only imagine how much the new mass effect will suck alot of AAA franchises are shadows of what they once where

empty souless husks

[abstract night]

im concerned for gta6

[obsidian lotus]

gta 6 will be fine

[echo yew]

there's so gonna be a fucking catch when they reveal the thing and it seems too good to be true and if i had to make a bet it will be one or multiple of the following

maps will suck ass
post launch suppport will be abysmal once again
servers
the cosmetics
p2w
balance

[plush solstice]

Like having 28/128 lobbies

[obsidian lotus]

$1b within a week

[echo yew]

i have my doubts

i mean yeah it will be the best selling game in history

but

[abstract night]

gta6 will no doubt have paywalls and thats not the scary part to me, its launch performace or lacking features from previous games, even gta5 missed out on a lot of mechanic and attention to detail stuff from iv

[echo yew]

the standards are so high (rightfully so) that if the game doesn't meet them it will be considered mid

[obsidian lotus]

i most likely wont buy it on pc

[echo yew]

and the scenario of the biggest fumble broken launch game is still possible

[abstract night]

crazy how we cant even say "they took 10 yrs to make it" cuz cp2077 lol

[echo yew]

I think a long dev time means nothing

its how well that time is used

cyberpunk is the best example

so is 2042

2042 technically had 3 years but because 60% of that time was used just to prepare the engine the actual game had like what, less than a year

[plush solstice]

Is there any way to use soflam below lvl 60?

[severe hill]

It was originally supposed to be a BR too but they later switched to a traditional Battlefield mid development.

[vague jasper]

This place pretty empty huh

[hollow raven]

this is party hour

[obsidian lotus]

cyberpunk at launch was a buggy mess now its a masterpiece

[vague jasper]

Maybe u right I'm just trying to figure out why I don't get kill credit towards the ak5c when getting underbarrel kills that's all

[vital quail]

Doesn't work with portal underbarrels

[hollow raven]

itll b ok

[strange tiger]

that's game a bit boring right now

[storm fjord]

i hate sliding

[hollow raven]

it looks like an animal wiping its ass on the ground

[brittle wind]

This

[dusty elm]

It's ok its not over done like COD

[storm fjord]

nah it is sorta
its not 2 bad but it aint bf

... you typeing

[brittle wind]

New leaked delta force operator is mental, he has a riot shield and a grappling hook. Not only that he also can drop barbed wires similar to siege and he won't take damage from behind when shield is in his back. Glad I dropped the game after devs confirmed SBMM.

[storm fjord]

wow that sucks

[storm fjord]

but i just think it shouldint be in the game at all

[dusty elm]

When I used to play football as a professional I used to love sliding in the rain it was so much fun

[storm fjord]

yeah but it aint bf

[naive ember]

Why? You keep getting rekt by sliding players?

[vital quail]

I can't even remember the last time someone slid and killed me

[storm fjord]

nah i play medic so i aint careing about that
i just aint wanting these sweats slide canceling on me

[brittle wind]

Destruction is overrated imo, people want to turn maps into flat minecraft templates but that's the exact reason why destruction became more limited over time. If 2042 had destruction on par with Bad Company it would be unplayable. Rush was sometimes impossible in BC due to destruction.

[brittle wind]

No prone would be fine if maps are good, do you trust DICE to make good maps?

[brittle wind]

Dolphin diving sucks, especially in BO6, it makes dropshotting harder and dropshotting is far more useful than dolphin diving. If anything they should copy omnidirectional running, that's nice to have.

[brittle wind]

2142 technically has overkill, engineers could carry SMGs as secondaries

[brittle wind]

GTA6 won't be bad imo but online will be worse than V, they can't compete with V's online content, it will take at least a year or two for it to be competent

[obsidian lotus]

are you kidding being able to take down entire skyscrapers in bf4 was amazing

[storm fjord]

yeah bro is a new gen

[obsidian lotus]

sniper camping on building = collapse entire building

i dont think ill play the online of gta 6

[brittle wind]

That's scripted levolution, not the same thing as destruction people want

They want to turn entire map into a flatland

With no cover

Levolution should come back though, it's nice to have dynamic maps

[vivid rune]

Double XP is active 🫡

[storm fjord]

yeah

[storm fjord]

bruh stfu

[mental delta]

Wow

Why

[naive ember]

Wow worse kd than tk

[opaque saddle]

Hey, what’s the difference between Breakthrough Mayhem/Chaos and regular Breakthrough?

Can’t rly find any details anywhere on mayhem and chaos

New to the game so

[naive ember]

Faster movement and different equipment, everything else is the same as regular BT

[hard jay]

[sullen vessel]

It works perfectly fine in The Finals and the Bad Company games.
If Dice targeted a normal amount of players (and not 128) and tune the toughness of buildings it would need be fine

[brittle wind]

Under no circumstances maps should turn into flat minecraft template or stock windows xp wallpaper

Infantry would be unplayable

[sullen vessel]

Damage resistance to collapsed buildings could work. In the older games you would just immediately die if you were in a collapsing building, which was sometimes annoying

[brittle wind]

I'm talking about cover bro, if you collapse all the buildings there will be no cover for infantry

[sullen vessel]

The buildings can be tuned to break in a way that still gives some cover. It’s been done

[plush solstice]

There is exp boost?

[spare quest]

what gave you that idea

[severe hill]

That was immerse part of it.

[severe hill]

Bf4 root, buildings will collapse leaving debris for you to crawl and hide under.

[sullen vessel]

Definitely, but there are some situations where the building should fall and not kill you. They could definitely improve the hit boxes there if they ever do that again

[severe hill]

I mean proning on your stomach while it collapse on can work.

I not going back to bf1-bf2042 destructive even thought the destruction effect of walls blowing up looks cool. Seeing no debris but a clean interior with no debris made you vulnerable and makes the aftermath of the destruction less impact

For the next Battlefield they should go full realistic.

If a cruise missiles strikes direction on a building, that building should a partical collapse with all windows blown up and any other building near the explosions suffer windows damages. Car alarms should go off with a dust kicking up from the ground and from the buildings.

The smoke from the explosion and buildings destruction should linger for at least 14 seconds. It can provide cover and flanking around enemies.

[unkempt swift]

The processing power for the games shaders and Ray Tracing alone would drop frames hard on even next generation consoles if they implemented this. Would be cool to see, but unless the game was PC only, a console would have a hard time being able to keep up with the graphics processing power in a full 64 player lobby if a bunch of those explosions and dust particles went off at once.

[severe hill]

I mean bf5 sort of did it

V1 rocket crash into a building in Rotterdam and Arras. Smoke lingered for a little bit.

[unkempt swift]

They are using an even newer updated version of graphics and shaders on the next battlefield to my knowledge. Unless they are optimizing them somehow, I could only see FPS drop from it happen if they make it an ultra realistic visual from it in the next game to keep up with the demanding visuals.

[severe hill]

I mean it depends on how the devs updated the Engine.

[pine roost]

honestly I ain't too fussed about the destruction tech

V did it perfectly in my eyes

[severe hill]

I hate the copy pasted interior wall remains.

Bf4 did it better

Bf1

Too

[brittle wind]

Infantry still would be unplayable if they became easy pickings for jets and helis

[brittle wind]

Yeah

I'm fine with V tier destruction

Not with BC tier destruction people wants

[pine roost]

i'm not one of those folks who wants ultra realistic super insane destruction just for the sake of it, but the modularity of destruction in V led to some genuinely fun solutions to problems while not eviscerating all of the potential cover entierly

[abstract night]

even if it were pc only i think everyone that doesnt have like a 4090ti and i9 would crash lol

tbh im not gonna say there werent times that destruction did create scenarios where players couldnt get around maps because of destruction, but it really was an exaggerated argument that i think (generally) came around during 2042s lifetime to excuse a lack of this very important (used to be selling point) aspect of the gameplay, mostly destructible assets is what made bf the sandbox it is and it worked fine for the most part

bfv fortifications was a pretty cool idea that helped players create cover even if a lot of map assets had been destroyed, which they could also just bring back as well

[frozen loom]

My entire team was full of snipers.

While I was shooting down vehicles.

I mean squad.

[abstract night]

i'd be ok with them porting over most gtav content and just adding onto it tbh

[worthy schooner]

what is ECO

[merry heart]

Want what is twerk

[naive ember]

[frozen loom]

You never seen a heli twerk before?

[merry heart]

Nope

[frozen loom]

Lucky.

[plush solstice]

[frozen loom]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-twerk-cat-wiggle-cat-dance-gif-7618085441078150072

Close enough.

[zealous loom]

[abstract night]

[frozen loom]

[merry heart]

[errant trellis]

This game sucks

[arctic grove]

Congrats on ruminating. You should join some Battlefield forums and streamer channels too. Just really torture yourself.

[echo yew]

super original take, totally not common knowledge

hey guys did you know the sky is blue

im such a genius

[umbral lodge]

Someone playing battlefield 5?

[mighty holly]

[hazy ermine]

hey can anyone help my cross progression isn't working even though my Xbox and steam accounts are link to the same EA \account all my time was played on Xbox i sold it and got a gaming computer and downloaded the game only to see none of my stuff was there if you can help i would greatly appreciate it

[abstract night]

It’s not torture if he hops onto BF1 afterwards to cure himself

[zealous loom]

Better than 90% of fps games out there right now though

Bar is pretty low right now

[abstract night]

The bar is in hell

[zealous loom]

Yeah

[wary orbit]

the game just doesnt work for me i keep getting the same error

[storm fjord]

im a medic bro i aint a gunner

[nova ferry]

e

[brittle wind]

EA support

[split sorrel]

any one oce and wanna play not very good just like having fun

[worldly jackal]

I got first place in my squad for the first time.

[bitter mulch]

So...what is everyone playing now? BF2042 or BFV, BF1, BF4?

cant decide what to play

[arctic grove]

Any idea how I can unlock the vhx d3, I don’t have the portal weapons and idk how to unlock them

[brittle wind]

V has the most players

I'm playing 2042 though

[still vault]

2042 has the most players most likely

[chilly jacinth]

It tells you how to unlock anything you want in the collections tab

[brittle wind]

Not according to steam

Might be different for consoles though

Since 2042 has crossplay it doesn't matter

1-V-2042 are all active I guess

[still vault]

Steam is only Steam. 2042 has crossplay and lots of people have it on EA App and Epic which are also not counted on the steam charts.

[brittle wind]

100 AC 42 kills

Btw is there going to be a new battle pass?

It says battle pass missions will come back soon under holiday protocol

Or is it for week 4 of holiday protocol?

[arctic grove]

I’m not level 40 yet

Any advice on how to level up fast

[brittle wind]

Close quarters conquest

You don't need 100 legit kills btw, you can do it in portal in 10 minutes against bots

Just select the correct server many of them are broken

[arctic grove]

How much xp does that usually yield?

[bitter mulch]

why is that

[brittle wind]

I played V a lot

Became bored

[bitter mulch]

ohh

[naive ember]

I tried to get into it for the first time a few months ago but didn't really have fun playing V

2042 was living rent free while I was playing V

[frozen loom]

What does the MP9 do that's better than the K30?

[frozen loom]

Lis + DXR-1 is pretty good for fighting snipers.

Especially on Stadium.

If there's a hardcore sniper just staying scoped in, lay prone and use your Lis rockets to headshot them.

[remote kiln]

not the case, because 2042 has crossplay and the others do not your pool of players is going to be higher on it than any other title just by default

[frozen loom]

Finally, Orbital map.

[errant wharf]

Anybody trying to squad up?

[rich atlas]

If you run into this guy KilledByBud, record him and report him. He is cheating. Currently just ran into him on Frontlines
https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf2042/profile/origin/KilledByBud/overview

[tawny lotus]

I'm on xbox High Dro let's llay

Play

[mossy badge]

tbh man 12,000 players is sooo much for a game like 2042
so it is like this for me
majority of the maps are garbage and the map that i want to play i dont get to see many people playing it and thats why it is dead game for me

game runs bad also

i came back to my home and asked my friend also lets try it and it ran so bad in 128 players or 64 both (64 was better than 128 performance which is obvious)

after trying 3-4 times we uninstalled it

so basically its trash and its also dead atleast for me

[oak trench]

who tf is designing this small ass maps

like some wanna be cod bs

[chilly jacinth]

Do you not know that the meat grinder maps are extremely popular

Bf3 had an entire dlc centered around them even

[brittle wind]

Meat grinder maps are goated

I thought Blasco T1 was easy but looks like Paik T1 is even going to be easier lol

[hazy viper]

Had a great run in Frontlines yesterday. Medics were reviving like mad, Engineers were doing their stuff, and the Recon guys always provided a nicely placed spawn beacon.
Only the two 130:5 guys were a bit sus, but overall I enjoyed meself. A rare thing these days, though.

[silk oar]

Hey friends, I got gifted the game on christmas by a buddy and have been enjoying it ever since. One thing that's been burning my mind tho is are there any particular weapons I should be working my way toward in particular?

[worldly jackal]

I wish more pvp shooters took things as seriously as Battlefield.

[worldly jackal]

AK24 is a good rifle.

[worldly jackal]

And the starting pistol on burst fire works in a pinch

[silk oar]

so far everything has felt crisp to use and reminds me of my glory days on BF3

[brittle wind]

Play with them all lol

416 feels exactly like BF3 416, I like it

[worldly jackal]

Too bad there is no story mode... BUT other than that it plays great.

[eager spire]

what do you mean

[worldly jackal]

Battlefield 2042 has no story mode like 1 or 5 or any of the others.

Even Hardline had a story mode for what it was worth.

[eager spire]

okay..?

[worldly jackal]

I'm just sayin?

[brittle wind]

I think he means skins aren't so out of place, which is true, you don't see green dragons or rainbow unicorns in 2042s skins, they still look in universe

[worldly jackal]

This....

Everything looks like it has a purpose and works functionally. Even the weapon charms.

[worldly jackal]

I can play tactically while not trying to laugh because i got hit by a kamehameha from 10 miles away lol.

[lone solar]

is this battlefield

[worldly jackal]

In battlefield i can just worry about not being shot or blown the hell up.

[eager spire]

I mean I guess you could. I just don't think I agree that it takes things seriously.

[worldly jackal]

I have yet to see anything silly.

[brittle wind]

DICE should bring back rest of the vault weapons to 2042 honestly

[worldly jackal]

Or make wingsuits more of an unlockable thing instead of a character specific thing.

Or unlock a perk where you can add effects to Dozer's shield

[brittle wind]

It's too late to change them

But vault weapons are already in the game

Just not in 2042 mode

[worldly jackal]

I don't think it's too late for that.

[vocal tusk]

It is, this game is at end of life Qol support.

[brittle wind]

This

[vocal tusk]

TLDR; we wont see meaningful changes to how specialists, vehicles or gadgets work...just balance changes and tweaks. Or a few extra vault vehicles (AKA...the Bradley ™️ )

[worldly jackal]

Weak.

[vocal tusk]

The next game is now the teams main focus.

Tho I would like to see parachute/Wingsuit be optional traversal methods in next game.

Like...pick one of the other

[worldly jackal]

Ok i'll bite

What is the next game.

[placid echo]

We don't know except for modern shooter

and that it's apparently going for Battlefield 3/4 vibes

[worldly jackal]

rip No Pats

Hopefully THAT game has a story mode.

Even if it's a co op story mode i'd be happy.

[vocal tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/postman-pat-what-look-back-gif-13141808

[placid echo]

I don't think people were expecting the no-pat characters to really stay. Maybe they'll be referenced in some way?

[vocal tusk]

Hopefully not, spending time on integrating or remembering a failed game is not a great usage of time IMO. Move on and remake the whole story/universe

[worldly jackal]

Hopefully with players in mind.

[placid echo]

Battlefield likes to reference it's characters. Although the most that might happen is last names being reused

[worldly jackal]

And not trying to turn players into payers.

[placid echo]

You know like Blackburn

[vocal tusk]

I just think reminding players of 2042 in any way is probably not wise.

"Oh yeah, remember that game that was terrible at launch and took 2 years to get remade"

[worldly jackal]

I only started playing it last year i don't know about these dark ages.

[rocky gust]

oh its absolute dogshit

[vocal tusk]

Just move on from the BF3, 4 and 2042 characters and make new ones.

[rocky gust]

credit to the devs for making some good changes but

it does not change the fact that 2042 is still dogshit

[worldly jackal]

As it is. It's really not.

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, devs did a good job with what they had, but in an ideal world it wouldnt have happened at all. I hope the next game is a full reset

[worldly jackal]

It's not what i want it to be totally but as it is. It's not pathetic. The next game should focus more on the tactical action it wants so badly to be and not what it usually is. Leading hundreds into the slaughter.

[rocky gust]

let's see. an fps game with an engine level input issue, zero thoughts in map design that was so bad majority of their new "content" is remaking things, added dumb things no one asked for, called the players clowns basically for not liking specialists...

took them months to add a scoreboard

so they don't hurt anyone's feelingssss

a failed extraction mode that died on arrival

a seemingly promising mode that ended up becoming nothing but dogshit milsim servers and bot xp farms

the list goes on

IMO, the most important thing the next game needs to focus on is player friend and community building in game. Social features that allow easily queuing with players, persistent servers and map rotations, server browser, clan and tag support, platoons, ETC.

[rocky gust]

oh yeah, they made a whole app back in bf1 just to kill it and render it useless lmao

battlefield companion iirc

[worldly jackal]

A player created platoon with special batteries and corps and roles? Sounds neat

[rocky gust]

an absolute horseshit version of battlelog

[rocky gust]

it's either gonna be some mw2 2022 level of milsim dogshit or cod garbage most likely. i fear for any information they release about the next BF

[worldly jackal]

I mean COD was their main competition. Now its fortnite.

[rocky gust]

delta force disappointed me a lot with its directions but my expectation for fps games is so bad now that if it has good gunplay and a functioning mouse, i have fun with it

[worldly jackal]

Worry that the main game is gonna get all GOTG quippy bullshit overly bright teenaged bullshit.

[rocky gust]

2042 already did that

[worldly jackal]

Not to me.

[rocky gust]

with absolutely horrendous live service

honestly, bring back premium. i'd be more than willing to pay more for quality and quantity to be guaranteed

but nooooooooooo, gotta make live service and drip feed the money-fetching pigs with minimal effort

[worldly jackal]

It's EA we're talking about lol.

[rocky gust]

EA and DICE are both to blame, i don't trust either

[worldly jackal]

The Galactus of the Video Game industry.

[rocky gust]

EA is where creative ideas and game studios go to die

amazing how they killed off the star wars game series so effectively

[worldly jackal]

And if by some chance the next game flops. (Which it might, Considering....) Then EA won't learn from their mistake they'll just kill DICE and give the property to another studio.

[rocky gust]

considering? nah if the corpa don't get their head outta their ass it's already destined to fail

and i highly doubt they did

[worldly jackal]

Not while the money is still coming in.

[rocky gust]

i've always preordered cod and bf out of just respect for giving me a good gaming memory in my childhood. that gratitude has run dry for a while now. haven't bought a cod with my money since mw2019

[worldly jackal]

I only got 2042 because it's 6 bucks lol.

Sorry DICE. It's what it is.

[rocky gust]

i paid 20 times that for the ultimate edition

played for 1 hr and a half

forgot to sign out before showering

and i couldn't return it

[worldly jackal]

When was this.

[rocky gust]

this was way back when it released

120 for ultimate edition

[worldly jackal]

AH

See?

[rocky gust]

now its

[worldly jackal]

Ya should have waited

[rocky gust]

cheap af lol

[worldly jackal]

6 bucks on sale lol.

[rocky gust]

if i waited i would not have bought this horseshit LMAO

[worldly jackal]

Free with EA plus.

[rocky gust]

worst feeling FPS i have ever played

[worldly jackal]

I ain't even mad. I got my moneys worth.

Hats off to the devs for knowing that guns shoot.

[rocky gust]

i mean hey, 6 bucks to goof around with the boys, sounds cheap

[worldly jackal]

(Making new friends and goofing off in the XP farms you hate so much)

(CQC is good too. Redacted is my favorite map)

[hard jay]

Ooooh mama

[rocky gust]

i don't blame the players entirely. dice should know that their playerbase should be treated like kids and put on some leashes like some settings not being changable

xp farms... i expected them but

milsim servers

holy fuck

[worldly jackal]

milsim?

[rocky gust]

you haven't seen the "IMMERSIVE" REALISM SERVERS YET?

oh boy

get shot with a pistol on your pinky toe's imaginary left nut, insta death

[worldly jackal]

(Oh. I played one of those last night. Took too long but yeah the instadeath was a little annoying)

[rocky gust]

any involvement in those types of servers is actual brain damage

[worldly jackal]

Guess me and the other 127 people there are brain damaged.

I haven't done TDM yet though.

Conquest is too much fun.

[rocky gust]

past titles have done a lot better job

works, but lots of room for improvement

hopefully they learned not to try and make 128 player again, and stick to good map layouts that have actual flow

[vocal tusk]

BF4 Conquest 64 map scale with BF3 Close quarters interior detail. 💯

[rocky gust]

They have the recipe and the ingredients for years and still fumble and cook up some horrible uneditable shit

[eager spire]

honestly, i would like if they made better close quarters maps that aren't meatgrinders

like, surely that can't be that hard.

relatively speaking

[cedar whale]

Hi, we are looking for 2 people for makiing team, my friend and me are playing together but remain random players mainly do not turn on mic, so if someone wants to play with us just contact with me:) I have 3.2 K/D I prefer someone who has at least 2.3 ( communication language will be English)

[worldly jackal]

My KD is kinda really shit so i can't

[rocky gust]

Thats asking for too much man

Brutal expectations

[eager spire]

right, forgot about that. it'll be really funny if mouse input is still broken in the next game.

and by really funny i mean i'll probably throw myself out of the window of the hospital room i'm in if that's a thing and i'm still in here.

[rocky gust]

Get well soon mate

Hopefully an amazing game will get you back up

[eager spire]

i mean i'll get balatro eventually. so

[rocky gust]

“So we didnt break the mouse this time guys… but our bullets dont work”

Really hard to code give us just a month

[eager spire]

our bullets don't work
do you not remember the launch of this game

[rocky gust]

Oh nah one gun worked

Pp29

[eager spire]

yes. a single one.

[rocky gust]

My m5 shot blanks

Didnt think theyd add blank round mags to the game

Glad they removed that

If im being real the hitreg still feels…spotty at times

[eager spire]

i mean i imagine the codebase for this game is held together with rubberbands, hot glue, and zipties.

so

i think we're lucky it's (somewhat) functional at all.

[worldly jackal]

I'm gonna be on later for some shooterific good times.

[brittle wind]

BF6 is going to take place before 2042 imo, they said they want to keep it modern not near future

We might see Blackburn's PMC though

[placid echo]

Yes

[naive ember]

It's probably going to be a reboot

[brittle wind]

I think people play hardcore because they are bad at the game lol

I got banned from BFV community servers after I got 100 kills in a hardcore server

[worldly jackal]

How

[brittle wind]

They reported me for cheating

I was sweating though

Like hard

I was using carcano and commando due to 75 meter one shot range

So I was one-tapping everyone

[worldly jackal]

See that's why i prefer being an assault. Getting up close and personal and on the front lines.

No sniping.

[brittle wind]

I wasn't sniping either lol

[worldly jackal]

Iron sights?

[brittle wind]

3x scope

[worldly jackal]

You're sniping.

If it's longer than 40 meters.

Are you up close?

[chilly jacinth]

Bro 40m is like smg range in this game

[brittle wind]

Not in V

Engagement distances are lower

Due to recoil

[chilly jacinth]

On hardcore engagement distances are just a suggestion

A slight breeze kills you

[brittle wind]

It can work if you limit player numbers to 16 instead of 64

[eager spire]

32 at most.

[brittle wind]

But then just play team deatmatch at this point

[brittle wind]

I don't think it will be a reboot, not like people plays BF for story, if anything they would want to connect it to older games, 2042's lore was leading up to 2142 lore so I think they want to connect fictional BF games in one universe, maybe even BFV considering 2042's last event directly references to Firestorm

[placid nymph]

How is the playerbase these days on playstation? 🙂

[craggy sparrow]

So Steam Sale, thought I'd finally try BF2042...fuckin mouse bug, anyone got a fix?

[eager spire]

no

mouse input is just like that

you might as well refund the game now

[chilly jacinth]

That's not the same as a bug goofball

[craggy sparrow]

Yeah I refunded. It is the no horizontal movement with mouse movement and the vertical movement either goes to sky or feet. Tried all the things on the webz to fix and it is still broken.

[spare quest]

such a fun bug, i remember that one

[orchid tusk]

ARE YOU USING YOUR HANDS? IT MIGHT HELP YOU USE YOUR HANDS.

[craggy sparrow]

Sucks that it still exists. I think EA/DICE only have one more chance with their next game before my group abandons them for good. We've been playing since OG BF1942, such a decline.

[orchid tusk]

DID YOU DO IT WITH YOUR HANDS BACK THEN? OR PLAY SOME TERRORIST SHIT?

LOLZ

[spare quest]

[orchid tusk]

[remote kiln]

did you have any other form of input plugged in e.g. a controller or driving wheel etc?

[craggy sparrow]

Nope, solo mouse and keyboard straight to back of computer. Haven't even paired a controller to this comp

[remote kiln]

that issue is normally specific to the game not being able to interpret 2 forms at once, bit bizarre though

[eager spire]

considering the game can't properly interpret one form of input, this is not surprising.

[remote kiln]

yeah

[chilly jacinth]

Wooting keyboard or the razer keyboard that can emulate a controller could be a culprit if you have one of those

[remote kiln]

wootings keyboard feature isn't on by default

he'd have to explicitly enable it for that to work

[chilly jacinth]

Well yeah just throwing it out there

[remote kiln]

id be very surprised tbh if that was the cause I used it without issue for months

[merry heart]

Does Wooting sell wireless keyboards now? It's been a while since I last checked

Huh. Guess not.

[frozen loom]

Wooting sounds like a Gen Z phrase.

[spare quest]

what does that even mean

[merry heart]

it is

[frozen loom]

To woot is to jork.

[rain laurel]

hey everyone. I'm not new to battlefield. I've played battlefield 4 alot. I was always confused of why I got so many friend requests playing BF4. My K/D was all over the place. When we were on a map that had vehicles I would always repair vehicles. On maps like operation metro or operation locker I would always throw down ammo for my team. This might be kind of a weird thing to talk about. But I was just always wondering why I would get alot of friend requests.

[orchid tusk]

well they were easier to initiate i think for one

and more effective right?

many times players don't even show up in your recently played with in this

[worldly jackal]

Pretty strong

[gloomy dawn]

[royal trail]

I ordered a wooting keyboard a few days ago, cant wait to own people in battlefield with it

[rain laurel]

well it seems that players have more respect for engineers who actually repair and support guys who actually give ammo and help there team.

[brittle wind]

Makes sense

I play 2042 and medic who is 1 meter away from me just ignores me lol

[worldly jackal]

I know right

[rain laurel]

there are those people that drive the vehicles and when I try to help they want me to go away

[worldly jackal]

Fucking medics almost neeeeeeeeeever come to me when i'm screeching for help after a 50. bullet rips through my left testicle

[rain laurel]

I'm better at repair guy. I actually repair vehicles

[worldly jackal]

Who's playing rn?

[rain laurel]

I will be

[worldly jackal]

Me too

[ionic shuttle]

BF4 > BF2042

[rain laurel]

I'm just waiting for it to download.

[worldly jackal]

F

[rain laurel]

I don't get a lot of kills but I do repair and give ammo for my team very often. if anyone wants to give me a chance on there team
