God I am so sick of El Alamein

#

It’s a swarm of vehicles at the best of times and frankly my teammates are too stupid to deal with them

#

Multiple times I’ve gotten a particularly stubborn tank down to one rocket’s worth of health only for nobody to even attempt to take advantage of it

#

Is battlefield 2042 worth it now at ~2025?

#

And which BF is best atm and most active?

abstract night
#

I say just go with v since it’s generally better and more active in all regions

#

2042 isn’t really worth it it’s just so cheap you won’t feel any real loss from your wallet, which imo still doesn’t justify going out of one’s way to buy and play a worst video game than its own predecessors that tend to cost just as much on sale cause influencers say “It’s GOOD NOW?”

Yo guys, what's the fastest vehicle to get the achievement Wheeled Warrior on?

obtuse ingot
#

don't think that works anymore? read that it doesn't

vital quail
#

I would try it anyways as it's just the 1st mastery level. I've also seen people say use a tugs/Blasco gadget in a jeep or pondhawk and sit in the vehicle while it gets assists

#

I don't know 100% if that works though

#

Do I want to enable crossplay for bf 2042? Does not enabling give me faster q times (I play on pc)

vocal tusk
#

Disabled will mean longer waiting times for games.

So yes, ideally you'd leave it ON

What's a good way to strategize for The Battle of the Bulge map? It's too flat.

#

Pretty good for destroying vehicles though.

vocal tusk
#

Ignore the flag on the hill with the windmill. Control the flag across the river from it, the church point and The barracks point and youll win.

merry heart
#

Usually control the high ground if you have access to it.

#

And, of course, use cover.

#

And ignore whatever I say. leo

frozen loom
#

I'll try that.

#

Tried Redacted again. It's brainrot.

vocal tusk
#

Depends on your spawn side TBH tho. Cos controlling the windmill can be easy if the other team arent capping it, if your homebase is that side.

#

If the enemy keeps re-capping it fast, just leave it be tho. There is such terrible cover for controlling that flag

#

You either sit inside the windmill unable to shoot out, or you try to shoot out and get killed.

#

Or shot at by tanks from outside and killed.

merry heart
frozen loom
#

I use Lis rockets to snipe snipers.

#

While I trick them with a sniper fight.

#

Rocket to their domes.

#

In Stadium.

#

Can't do that in Redacted.

dull path
#

i now learned that bots can execute you too

#

not just real players

frozen loom
#

You learned pretty late. They do that all the time.

#

They hate snipers.

dull path
#

it's just that the last times i played, i never had that experience

#

either by shooting me on foot or with vehicles

frozen loom
#

They also like to shoot rockets.

#

Which is nice.

dull path
#

yeah
some of the launchers they use the most is the recoilless one

#

also i like how the lock on launcher only work on a certain type of vehicles

#

like the javelin only locks on ground vehicles and the stinger only locks on areal vehicles

frozen loom
#

I never use the stinger, so I wouldn't know.

#

Oh, you mean the AA missile.

dull path
frozen loom
#

I start ever match as Crawford with an AA missile in an aircraft.

#

As a passenger.

#

Enemy helis don't expect getting locked on from an aircraft.

#

Helps during air fights too.

#

*every

dull path
#

they are just used to getting locked on from the ground

frozen loom
#

Yeah, it's hard for them to fend off an enemy lock-on that's from the air. If they do chase, then they're running towards the missile.

merry heart
#

Is it just me or is the PP stupidly strong?

frozen loom
#

It's okay.

#

K30 is better.

#

Heli pilots get so butthurt.

#

Over getting locked on.

still vault
#

Those heli mains need to get butthurt

frozen loom
still vault
#

Get down on the ground if you want want to be locked on to 😄

frozen loom
#

There needs to be a faster way to destroy them.

#

Waiting for a lock on only for them to play chicken takes too long.

#

I never see those tactics in actual wars.

still vault
#

I've mentioned my concept of metalfatique on here before. Basically a heli would only be able to heal up, lets take 98% as and example of all dmg taken. Eventually, you would be able to get even the best heli pilot down.

frozen loom
#

Can a real life helicopter actually self-heal?

#

They should just remove that aspect.

still vault
#

It's still an arcade battlelfield sandbox game, I don't mind it. But the chicken helis should not be able to last as long as they do.

frozen loom
#

I think the instant an aircraft goes out of bounds, they should incur damage.

#

Like 5 damage per second.

still vault
#

Too discouraging to newbies.

#

Wouldn't work I think.

frozen loom
#

Newbies don't generally fly aircrafts.

still vault
#

Which is an issue.

frozen loom
#

So, it would only help to incur damage.

vital quail
#

There would be 0 room to fly straight in a jet

frozen loom
#

Just reduce the damage to 2 damage per second for jets.

vital quail
#

It's just a bad idea

frozen loom
#

It's way better than them playing chicken to heal up to full.

#

Without penalty of going out of bounds.

still vault
#

I still like my idea better. Simply because it is more punishing the longer time you are in the heli. Thus mainly limiting the pros, not the new people.

frozen loom
#

How?

#

Oh, the threshold of allowing healing.

#

I still think it should only be permissible to repair it. No self-healing for any vehicles.

#

The idea that vehicles can magically undent themselves is weird.

still vault
#

The heli mains that are the biggest issue usually have dedicated repair people.

frozen loom
#

Like the HD-60.

#

The carrier.

still vault
#

My metal fatique solution would nicely cover all scenarios without messing too much with existing balance.

#

At least I think so.

frozen loom
#

Even limiting their heal potential is better but making it so they can only heal 100% once like they can keep pressing it to heal to any percentage, but once it accumulates to 100%, that's it.

merry heart
# frozen loom K30 is better.

What I mean is I hear the k30 bullets hitting me properly but when I run into someone using the PP I get hit once and I'm dead?

frozen loom
#

I never have an issue with that.

#

Everytime I see smg abusers, I take out my K30 and obliterate them..

merry heart
#

Happens offline too against bots when I'm unlocking attachments

#

So something goofy is with the PP

#

K30 I have no problem with

frozen loom
#

I unlock all my weapon attachments in solo breakthrough.

#

Before engaging in live multiplayer.

vital quail
#

I mean it's the only 2042 smg with 4 shot range up to 30m

#

It has high damage

#

On standard ammo*

merry heart
vital quail
#

Yes

#

Only the pbx comes close with HP ammo but that's only 4 shots up to 20m

oak granite
#

2042 anyone?

merry heart
#

I don't SMG much so I might consider using the PP instead

frozen loom
#

I DMR most.

merry heart
#

I like playing a variety tbh

cosmic pond
#

yo my friend has a pretty nice PC and he cant play the game, it lags in slow motion, even on low settings. any way to fix ?

still vault
#

My bet / wild guess is on monitor cable is connected to the board, not the GPU DerpLis

frozen loom
#

Or, it could be the internet connection.

#

Hardwire it.

merry heart
#

Not alot of CPUs these days have video output,

brittle wind
frozen loom
#

Stadium at least has an open field which is nice.

#

Redacted is just corridors and some pathes of grass.

brittle wind
#

Problem with stadium is that players don't use lower floors or side flanks to their advantage

#

That's why it seems like they are always trapped in spawn

#

It has tons of options otherwise

#

In redacted you can be trapped far more easily

still vault
remote kiln
#

*exceptions apply

#

but broadly yes

#

7500f has no igpu etc

still vault
#

Oh sure sure. Was just a generalization to disprove the "Not alot of CPUs these days have video output, "

#

I could also have added the "g" versions of previous ryzens

merry heart
#

I guess 7000 series is the I oh exception of the bunch.

topaz vine
#

after some research and testing i came into conclusion that r5 3600 is capable of running the game in 100 fps stable

#

"pretty nice PC " has to be not that pretty nice

merry heart
#

Would be nice to see the specs of that "pretty nice" PC

topaz vine
#

also this game is 100% cpu demanding and for some reason cant utilize the cpu fully without user.cfg

brittle wind
#

Not a fan of Irish T1 tbh

remote kiln
#

user cfg doesnt work lol

brittle wind
#

Skin looks cool but grind is agonizing

remote kiln
#

the settings are ignored by the game

topaz vine
#

im almost certain that its not a placebo

remote kiln
#

you are on a zen 2 processor so youre limited by ipc

topaz vine
#

but maybe im wrong

remote kiln
#

and yes its placebo

#

they used to work for 6 months after the game launched

#

and got patched out after

frozen loom
merry heart
frozen loom
#

Wrong place.

merry heart
#

Has honest defensive options.

brittle wind
#

Yes

#

Best support character I would say

topaz vine
#

whats the most accurate assault rifle and lmg? i wanna experience sar21 from bf4 again

#

i need a long range laser

brittle wind
#

SFAR

#

Not a laser but it's the best long range AR imo

topaz vine
#

also do lmgs behave like in bf1 where the longer i shoot the more accurate i am?

brittle wind
#

No

#

Most accurate LMG is most likely RPK

#

Or M240B

#

Never played with M240B but it's low RPM and people say it's a laser beam

topaz vine
#

i really wish ea didnt abandon this game, honestly its very solid now

brittle wind
#

It still runs bad

#

I hope new frostbite won't have current frostbite's issues

merry heart
#

Idk I still don't like the idea of operators tho

topaz vine
#

i think they are great but should be more class defining

#

like assault operator that can operate smgs better and is all around close combat

#

and the other one increasing assault rifle midrange proficiency

brittle wind
#

They should change support and engineer's proficiencies imo

topaz vine
#

also conjoining medic and support makes it difficult to balance

#

one man armies

brittle wind
#

LMG for support and SMG for engineer makes more sense

vocal tusk
#

im fine with support being medic also, makes it easier to support my team, versus requiring 2 players do do the same job...but worse

topaz vine
#

dmr medic

#

bf1 had it perfect imo

brittle wind
#

Weapons should be class specific imo

#

Maybe have some select shared options too

#

But a medic shouldn't run a sniper

vocal tusk
#

They should, Id wager the devs of this game even want that. However it would have been a mess if they retro-actively applied class locked weapons in 2042.

topaz vine
vocal tusk
#

BF4 was almost perfect. Class locked weapons, but there were all class available DMRs, carbines (Worse ARs) and shotguns

topaz vine
#

no point in playing assault when medic can play AR

#

also dmrs were kinda support weapons in bf4 because of the spotter module

#

but 2042 has a good flow imo, gunfights are addicting

merry heart
#

I need to practice flying helicopters

patent pivot
#

Honestly

#

I prefer locking 3 weapon category

merry heart
#

I swear if a leaf clips me and I crash and burn I'm throwing my PC out the window

brittle wind
#

3 would be overkill

#

But assault should use shotguns imo

patent pivot
#

Don't give shotgun to recon

#

Neither engineer

brittle wind
#

It makes most sense for assault to have shotguns than engineer or support

patent pivot
#

Pdw works with engineer and recon

#

Cause reason

vocal tusk
#

shotguns arent typically useful in all scenarios, thats why they should be all class

cosmic pond
#

so what do the weapon stats mean? does accuracy = recoil?

brittle wind
#

Accuracy is hipfire I think

merry heart
brittle wind
#

It's not that important

vocal tusk
#

"Ah crap, we need to push an indoor area, time for everyone to swap to assault class for shotguns" 👈 Things you shouldnt have happen

cosmic pond
#

how do you know a weapons recoil intensity then?

patent pivot
#

looks at bf3 CQC map

brittle wind
#

With trying them

#

Or looking at RPM

#

Low RPM = less recoil usually

#

Unless it's AC9

topaz vine
#

looks at model 10a hunter

vocal tusk
#

2042s displayed stats are mostly useless. Ignore them and try the weapons out

merry heart
topaz vine
#

is zain dog water

patent pivot
brittle wind
#

Zain's passive is pretty good

merry heart
brittle wind
#

But his gadget sucks

merry heart
topaz vine
#

3 shot kill with grenade launcher is offensive

patent pivot
#

Now how fair is that

vocal tusk
#

His gadget is really OP if you learn it. If you are a good player, you will do well with him. there are no crutches with him, unlike with falck, or a specialist like that

brittle wind
#

How?

#

3 shot to a single player

#

With 5 rounds

vocal tusk
#

Around corners, or behind cover, and insane splash also

#

Its insanely good on breakthrough or rush

brittle wind
#

I see

#

I might try it

vocal tusk
#

You aim at a corner, lock that distance in, then fire beside that corner. Anything behind it will die

topaz vine
#

oh and also in new bf we need 40x zoom mares leg back

#

anyone remembers that

merry heart
# brittle wind How?

Basically it's like an AA rocket from Assault class in BF1 but shorter distance. Or the flack armored truck.

#

Anyone remember how you can abuse AA rockets in BF1 to be basically a super long distance flack?

topaz vine
#

isnt it literally bf4 airburst?

merry heart
#

Yeah pretty much but you need to do it from 150m out

#

Use the AA rockets to cheese cap points in BF1 basically kekwhat

vocal tusk
#

Zain is good tho, cos if you get in a fight and win, you dont need to waste your med pens. Versus other assaults where you would need to use the pen to get straight back into the action

#

Its why he is so good for actually good (at getting kills) players

frozen loom
#

Zain is my least played character besides Pike.

topaz vine
#

either titanfall 3 or caveman rock fights

#

or actual ww2 in Europe?

#

all they have to do is combine all the good parts from every game, and do it all together, whatever timezone they choose it will have potential

merry heart
#

2142 had mechs, right?

topaz vine
#

yes

merry heart
#

i might be thinking of another game

topaz vine
#

i feel like they finally nailed vehicle vs infantry in 2042

#

tanks dont feel indestructible and a good heli pilot still can do 60-0

#

hopefully it stays like that next game

merry heart

#

topaz vine
#

Played against a guy that dodged like 8 lis rockets from me

honestly a skill issue from me but he was different

I run 5g ethernet frontier 1000 up and down

remote kiln
# limpid pond Ethernet

eh not much you can do I don't think, if you're playing 128 players the tick rate is not stable compared to 64 players so hit rejections are unfortunately to be expected

limpid pond

My sft in game jumps to 23 quite often in the yellow

limpid pond
remote kiln
#

yeah that'd why be

#

more or less stay away from 128 modes

topaz vine
#

5g is wireless no?

limpid pond
#

So unfortunately I have to play the 64 player modes. That's a bummer

remote kiln
#

yes it's just not stable, that's why they're ditching 128 for the next game

limpid pond
remote kiln
#

the tick rate will drop to 20-30hz during high impact situations

remote kiln
#

5g towers are very close by

#

unless the signal has a interference problem like buildings or are being reflected

obviously it's not as good as fibre latency wise but it's not a factor here that matters

90% of ethernet stuff for normal people works up to 1Gb/s, theres not much sense going faster as of rn

remote kiln
#

yes there is, because if you do not upgrade core networks they become much more expensive later on

#

it is cheaper to provide the ability for equipment to harness multi gigabit than having to install new equipment twice in the long run

#

XGS-PON etc

limpid pond

you will need a new router regardless if you do install it

the weird thing with multiplayer remasters is people play them for 1 weekend but they never become a new main game

Hello i had played bf3, bf4 and bf1 in the past. Liked bf3 mostly, bf4 a bit. Bf1 i liked the atmosphere and graphics but not the weapons and the setting. Tried some of delta force but felt to cheapish. Weird. Im thinking of buying bf2042 for 4.79. Is it worth it? also in pc how much disk space does it have ? I played some delta force and graphics were okay but saw some videos from 2042 and the graphics seemed soo good and also the sound (another aspect that delta force felt cheap). Recent frostbite did a good job.

#

Also is there a chance for the game to become free to claim in Epic store? Ea did it in the past with Battlefront II. Im thinking to wait til 1/1 if the epic give such gift. I think the discount ends 2nd of January?

# low coral all the new players use casper and snipe and suck

Rao is such a troll character, if someone hits you they get spotted, almost as toxic as Paik's passive, Rao might be lowkey best long range sniper because of this trait, you literally have a wallhack that lasts for few seconds, so once you get hit you can get back to cover, adjust your aim and shoot the guy who shot you

But railgun has a huge delay while firing too

In like 20 meters right?

It is

It has an interesting damage model

#

2 shots to body in 20 meters

Might oshs too not sure

But 3 and 4 shot after 20 meters

So it's better in close range than in long range

placid echo
#

Any friendly within the radius of the device (as shown on map) will not be able to be spotted or be locked onto. Your map should also say "Spotting Blocked" on it to help let you know.

#

So gadgets like TUG-S, Prox Sensors, Paik's Scanner, Rao's hacking, or just general spotting will not work while in the radius of the device. Lock-On launchers like the Javelin won't be able to lock on to vehicles around it either.

I have played alot of FPS games in my time but never battlefield. now playing this game for the first time I find that when trying to fire any kind of automatic weapon at around 30~ meters or so, the recoil is super intense. the only comfortable method I have found is crouching with an LMG on an engi specialist. Am I missing something? or is the recoil just more intense in this game than other FPS games?

Compare this games recoil to any other and it's very small

Im refraining myself from saying skill issue a lot lately

low coral

my guy, no its not. take tarkov for example, with no attachments, recoil sends your muzzle into the ceiling, but with some attachments its a laser beam

and in COD you can just laser beam with anything lol

low coral
#

just turn your fov up gng

vocal tusk
#

Same here, just dont hold down the trigger. Battlefield gunplay is designed around bursting in 7 to 10 round bursts.

#

You'll both get more spread and recoil if you dont burst. At least with fast RPM auto rifles.

low coral
#

or you could just control the recoil

#

it's a game not real life

Even with perfect recoil control, a full spray will give you extreme spread/inaccuracy

oh, and the mouse works

And console and epic. But it will have less players regardless. It's a free game that's a clone of this one.

vocal tusk
#

The helicopter rocket pods in DF are way worse than the 30mm ever was in 2042 also. If you're in a game with a pilot with them, just leave.

#

It's only saving grace is the maps aren't open and boring looking. They look good, but most play pretty horribly in the warfare conquest mode.

#

I gave it a shot, but as a BF player who likes to play medic/support...it feels pretty bad. Hard to say exactly what it is with the movement/gunplay, but it feels very...robotic, generic, unpolished?

I’ve also just been focusing way more on irl stuff. Video games were always about escapism and immersion for me and if they can’t do that well then I’ll either find games that have genuine love put into em or I’ll simply find something entirely new to do anyways

vocal tusk
#

I have no issues with Chinese games/devs either. I just don't enjoy DF

I think some of DFs critique derives from the fact that it’s Chinese so people don’t take it as seriously as western products but that’s not to say there’s not dozens of legit complaints

vocal tusk

People give it a pass on many things as it's free. But something I'll spend my time on I'll always state it's flaws.

vital quail
#

I mean i don't take it seriously because it's pretty much an exact copy

abstract night
#

But honestly even if it’s an exact copy of BFs formula and CoDs animations is it more fun to play than the actual CoD/BF games? That’s what I’m saying and that’s what I think shows a light on major publishers like ea/acti

vocal tusk
#

But some maps aside, like I said above it has all the issues 2042 has with playability, and much more.

None of which will really change imo, as the warfare mode isnt their main focus.

Minimal effort in creating a unique game

I do know it has specialists which I think was a mistake to copy so I’m not very interested cause that alone

#

Even tho it didn’t change like anything when they removed them

vocal tusk
#

Homing did no damage, and was used not as an assault gadget, but as a way to bait vehicles into popping counter measures

#

Emp was irrelevant cos the emp nade existed.

And emp in general is not useful on vehicles, as back then APS wasn't a thing.

Most pilots are bad pilots tho.
