Lis just broke it all. It's insanely easy to get good with her TGM and one shot Nightbird.

It's fun, but it breaks more than it fixes, balance wise imo

#

wait so if RAO uses his hacker thing on an enemy soldier, it spots him and nearby enemies?

#

for my team to see?

vocal tusk
#

It also works through smoke

cosmic pond
#

no i mean when i activate it. I was using it through smoke and I would lock onto an enemy and "hack" then like 6 enemies nearby would all be revealed in red. is that just for me? or also my team?

#

I have a clip of what im talking about

#

are the nearby enemies marked in the standard way like on the minimap or are they completely red

You can send emote reactions all you want, it’s an industry standard for a reason

But I agree that, for example, purposefully rigging someone’s connection to the server to hurt their performance is ridiculous

It’s not necessarily the SBMM doing that. There’s numbers to show sbmm has helped the player base increase. It’s EOMM that’s starting to irritate people

SBMM is broken

It puts you in Skill Based lobbies

Lolz

eager spire
#

Here's a question for you: Say, hypothetically, you're an above average player. You generally score high in the matches you're placed in, you know how to play the game, and then SBMM/EOMM shows up, and is like, "hey, I notice you're above average, and I've got a match for you. It will be statistically even with you in it." And then you get in the match, and you are matched with 5 other teammates that are nowhere near as good as you, they don't know what's going on, and they're just generally not great. Meanwhile, on the other team, they are just average. They are nothing special at all, they are likely rocking whatever is the current meta. In this situation, you are effectively playing 1v6 against players who might not be as good as you, but are still very capable of beating you anyway, because there are 6 of them, and one of you. This is also not a Ranked lobby, this is a regular casual matchmaking lobby.

Would you find this fun or enjoyable in any single way?

Sorry, forgot to ping you, but the above question is for you.

well, answer the question.

eager spire

The question is about if you would find this experience enjoyable.

woeful rivet

It gives me a challenge to get better

brittle wind
# abstract night How can this be true when MW3 2023 tested no sbmm and saw drastic player base de...

It wasn't ''no SBMM'', it was ''lax SBMM'', big difference. In an ideal match with no SBMM there would be only 20% chance to see good players(80% of the players are 0.85 KD, I'm talking about people with above 0.85 KD). With ''lax SBMM'' you will get stomped harder as an average 0.85 KD player because instead of 1 KD guys you will have to compete with 1.2 KD people. In an average CoD game with no SBMM you would encounter 2 good players per lobby, good players could compete among themselves while average players can play among themselves. Also there would be only 1.6% chance to see a really good top 10% player in a match due to how small that group is compared to Average (40% of the players), bottom 20%(25% of the players) or bottom 10%(12.5% of the players). SBMM exists to protect bottom 20% and no one else. Because even average players are fed up with constant competitiveness.

woeful rivet
#

Adapt and overcome

eager spire
#

Okay, but you realize that the odds are heavily stacked against you here. May I remind you, you are playing effectively 1v6 because your 5 teammates are below average, and don't know what's going on, so they're not going to be of much help.

arctic grove
#

i believe our ancestors used to tell warriors before battle against insurmountable odds, "Git gud, scrub"

eager spire
#

let's be realistic here, because this wouldn't be an isolated incident. if you're an above average player in CoD, this is the experience they have most of the time, unless they are partied up with other players that are about as good or better than them.

arctic grove
#

Last night, I got placed against 3 "clans" (with at least 4 sweats) 3 games in a row. My team lost each time and I was the only one who went positive, but it was still fun

brittle wind
#

Tl;Dr: When Max Hoberman designed Halo's ranked play he wanted to have a variety of situations, even teams, your team stomping opponents, opponents stomping you, Hoberman specifically wanted to have this variety because he says evenly matched teams constantly playing among themselves would lead to most stressful situations, good for watching on a competition or twitch but not pleasant to play

#

He also says he specifically didn't wanted SBMM to effect casual play

#

Casual play was without SBMM, only ping factored in

abstract night
#

That just sounds like the same thing that happens in CoD to me really

brittle wind
#

Ex Bungie was also known for having constant LAN parties after a day of work, they were gamers themselves, they were making games they wanted to play themselves, that's why I would rather trust them in their decision making than a corporate data guy

abstract night
#

Some matches intentionally putting you against better or worst players. Seems rigged. Do you think you can reconcile that for me because I’m genuinely curious

brittle wind
#

It's exactly like CS GO's ranked honestly

#

The way he describes

#

This is ranked play he's talking about not casual play

#

In CS you sometimes get tougher opponents and sometimes weaker so when you beat tougher opponents you get a bigger boost to your rank

#

When you are beaten by weaker opponents you get a bigger penalty to your rank

eager spire
brittle wind
#

Yeah

#

Constantly playing in ranked mode with no rank to brag about

woeful rivet
#

Lalalala

brittle wind
#

There is a ranked play in CoD, casual mode shouldn't have SBMM, plain and simple

eager spire
#

It's easy to be like "oh well it's only a problem if you're bad, just adapt and overcome bro" but realistically, the people that this happens to are already good players. They are just heavily outnumbered because the game decided their stats need to be lowered a bit.

brittle wind
#

DF also had a ranked mode but they changed the name once people figured out casual and ranked lobbies are the same

#

They said it's ackshually points mode but I don't trust that

eager spire
#

it's not fun for the above average players because they're effectively having to carry a lobby by themselves, and likely having to do so multiple times till they decide to stop playing, it's not fun for the players on the above average player's team because they're not doing anything, they're just there to die, and it's not fun for the enemy team because they're really only playing against one guy.

brittle wind
#

They claim there are 2 brackets but it seems like there are 10 brackets

abstract night
eager spire
#

Not that I expect any of this to really mean anything to you, since you seem so deadset on this "adapt and overcome" angle. I'd really like to see you try to deal with this, honestly.

#

Like, just you try to deal with having to carry entire lobbies constantly.

brittle wind
#

SBMM doesn't make people better at the game either honestly

eager spire
#

no it doesn't

brittle wind
#

CoD youtubers are saying 1.5KD was the average while games had no SBMM, nowadays 1.5KD is top 12.5%

eager spire
#

it just annoys people that are already good and protects players that are not

brittle wind
#

2-3 KD meant you were good, 4 meant you were top 10%

#

Nowadays if you have 2KD you are cheating or two boxing lol

woeful rivet
#

Cope

#

Lmao

abstract night
#

So basically CoD eomm/sbmm is only really bringing in and keeping uber casuals

brittle wind
#

Yeah

#

I stopped playing after getting dark matter for like 2 weapons

#

It wasn't enjoyable once SBMM kicked in and decided I should suffer for playing good(I had 1.3 KD)

abstract night
#

I’m at 1.4 kd and can’t get into any matches that aren’t just constantly rubber banding

brittle wind
#

Yeah

#

Ping is also a huge issue with SBMM

abstract night
#

Decided to just delete mw23 at that point

brittle wind
#

It wants you to connect to other side of the planet

eager spire
# woeful rivet Lmao

that's it? you're just not gonna offer up any counter-arguments or anything, you're just gonna be like "cope lmao"?

brittle wind
#

I used to think SBMM was good too because I like competitive play, I used to main CS GO and Siege before CS became unplayable with cheaters and Siege became boring, but playing CoD MPs changed my mind

#

CS and Siege are games designed with competitive play in mind from infrastructure to gameplay, CoD was always a casual game. When you try to make it competitive it breaks apart.

eager spire
#

You only make CoD competitive when it's organized.

#

And when it's Organized, it's not matchmaking anymore.

brittle wind
#

Yeah

eager spire
#

CoD can be competitive but it has to be heavily wrangled into that kind of thing.

abstract night
#

What sucks is nothing will really change when the class eomm is protecting are the ones spending all this money on those skins

eager spire
#

CoD4 had an entire modification on PC dedicated to that.

#

That is the reason Promod exists.

brittle wind
#

It can change if they start to lose them too

#

SBMM relies on huge number of players to work

eager spire
#

yeah but good luck convincing people to stop playing the video game

brittle wind
#

Matchmaking will be extremely long and when bottom 20% starts to fill out the gaps left by average and good players they will become the new top 20%

#

So variety in matchmaking will be even more noticable

#

Due to them spreading people thin among less variety of players

abstract night
#

Now I’m not sure where to stand cause sbmm has become an industry standard thing, so it must have its pros, and I can’t argue with the statistics showing playerbase and retention increases. This is why I usually point to EOMM being the problem which, as far as I’m aware, is really just CoD doing that

eager spire
#

I mean, the distinction is there but really, explaining it to the vast majority of people is a lot of wasted effort on shit they don't care about

brittle wind
abstract night
#

I’m not sure how DF sbmm works but to be fair it’s just going to die like defiant and what not cause people complain about CoD and battlefield being the way they are yet when someone else does something they ignore it

abstract night
#

Or they blast those games for the same problems they make an excuse to acti/dice for

brittle wind
#

DF has SBMM and that's why I think it will die

eager spire
#

I mean, the reason xDefiant died was because it absolutely failed to provide a better alternative to CoD, instead being a mediocre hero shooter with a couple standout features.

abstract night
#

Fair enough cause I was bout to mention them as a game with no SBMM that died

eager spire
#

They expected to coast by on having input based matchmaking and no SBMM alone, but that alone does not make a popular game if the game isn't good.

#

and the game was not good

brittle wind
#

Or at least be relegated to extraction mode, I don't think people will keep up with SBMM in it

#

Funny thing is that extraction mode doesn't have SBMM

#

It matches players based on loot values

#

And not skill

#

They got it backwards lol

#

If you are good with flanks you can find success with it I guess

#

I don't think stealth plays an important role in 2042 honestly since you can be spotted by anything from TUGS to random Paik

#

Unless you are playing as Blasco because her passive makes you immune to spotting by gadgets

HI I HAVE A QUESTION

is battlefield 2042 worth it

its 4 dollars now

ok

#

wanna be my battlefield buddy

#

it will be my first battlefield game

#

but last time i bought battlefield four or five i think

#

but the servers are so buggy i had to refund

Any suggestions for some setups for someone who likes to play more long range/marksman style?

It's all up to you man. Depends on your skill level and what you like to play. Fps games can get stale real quickly if you get destroyed every game. They can also get repetitive if they are no longer supported and 2042 isn't exactly a update proned game

brittle wind
noble tartan
#

specially on my console

#

I bought bf4 and still havent tried it yet but bf2042 has more player counts

#

So I guess i just wanna feel some fps in my console

limpid pond
#

Prom my personal experience xbox is the best console for 2042 due to the responsiveness of the joysticks but Playstation is workable with. If you have a slightly slow playerstayle ps would be fine. Just look up a video on some good settings because the controller has massive input delay on ps

noble tartan
#

I am on a ps4

limpid pond
#

Ohh yeah 2042 may not be the wave my friend

#

Probably better off sticking to cod due to major lag issues on old Gen. Graphics are scaled down really bad too

devout socket

# devout socket And as a dmr build? I kind of like semi automatics in any game tbh, but I've hea...

So the SVK is a great choice and the loadout would be

SVK Build
-Ghost hybrid 1.5-4x scope
-Stand issues/extended or Hightower mag
-LWG underal barrel grip
-Warhawk compensator muzzle

Sidearm - G57 because burst mode

Gadget - SoFlam so you can lock on vehicles for missile users and spot enemies

Throwable - smoke for quick cover and reposition or even cutting lines of sight by enemies looking at you

so what is the best?

# balmy solar so what is the best?

I'd say sws. You can make it a 1 shot at close range through attachments. Allows you to put a underbarrel launcher on it. You can shoot it fast if you have the faster rate of fire mags too

so what is the best attacments for sws i don t play close range i play like 80-150 meters

It is probably one of the better active passives tho. If that makes sense 😄

No upkeep just like Casper.

Unpopular opinion but i enjoyed 2042 without classes more than i do now

I actually really enjoyed BF5 but I am a sucker for WW2

It is definitely a culture shock jumping into 2042 3 years after release date though

I played the 2042 beta and hated it but I’m enjoying the game so far

@frozen loom can I add you on the game? I sent a friend request on here too.

The Hovercraft glitch was such a Nonissue they had it in the game for 3 season after Release iirc

I’d played the beta’s for all the battlefields I can remember and I the only games I’ve skipped were hardline and 2042 (until now)

quiet phoenix

do yall think 42 population dies out for good after the new one? thinking of picking it up on the steam sale but I'm still like, what will the game even feel like? A hot mess that got put together years after ppl paid for it and no teamplay? Is it even worth picking up n prob not playing with friends?

vital quail

As with each other previous games, people will stay and play it

#

It's $5, not that big of a decision

quiet phoenix

keep saying its just 5 long enough it adds up, alm forgot, fk EA

abstract night
#

Doubt it’ll have a lot of players if the next game is decent ngl

#

2042 is only dragging along cause people say “there’s nothing else to play” and it’s like 5 dollars, but it’s not really memorable for much

abstract night
# vital quail It's $5, not that big of a decision

“It’s just 5 dollars” even then, why not put 5 dollars towards a coffee or even just a better video game to begin with? If the only reason to buy a video game is cause it’s 5 dollars, but not because it’s actually interesting or good, it’s still a waste of money

brittle wind

#

I’d rather play an older battlefield game tbh

brittle wind
#

BF4 is practically dead

#

I haven't played it in recent times but people say it's unplayable due to admins

abstract night
#

The way I see it is it’s about standards. I simply refuse to play a newer game if it’s not better than its own predecessors. Either that or I’ll play new games entirely. “It’s just 5 dollars” is not a very good or convincing argument

woeful rivet
#

At least i saw 2

One had 39 players

The other 15

Both were… decent

brittle wind
#

For people who wants a modern shooter 2042 is the best on the market right now

abstract night
#

I know I’m a big proponent of theme but even I have to use a dissenting argument to my own beliefs here: I would not care if it’s a WW theme game if it’s a better game

brittle wind
#

Many people just don't want to play WW games lol

abstract night
#

I think that’s part of the problem as much as I generally understand and agree. People buying and supporting bad products cause of something like that alone makes me concerned about if DICE will ever learn anything going forward

low coral
#

2042 is not a bad product dude

#

not anymore at least

abstract night
#

I do not agree for a mix of objective and subjective reasons

woeful rivet
#

One of the saddest things that happened with 2042 was the reintroduction of Classes and removal of Movement from BF5

low coral
#

bf5 movement was peak

brittle wind
#

2042 never had BF5 movement I think

abstract night
#

It never had any bf5 movement, which is funny cause that’s actually a big reason why I think the game isn’t good. They completely regressed on the movement V created

woeful rivet
abstract night
#

Why not continue what was good from previous games

abstract night
#

Oh dammit my bad

brittle wind
#

Classes are the core of BF games

abstract night
#

I thought by removed you meant it was in the game then got taken out

woeful rivet
#

No

woeful rivet

But it was refreshing being able to do whatever you wanted

abstract night
#

I never mentioned the Chinese,

woeful rivet
#

I don’t wanna say the words out loud…but…

brittle wind
#

BF shouldn't be a hero shooter, current state of the 2042 is good imo in terms of balance, in fact one of the best aspects compared to V or 1

#

If you want to see hero shooter BF just look at Delta Force

abstract night
#

Balance is pretty wack, it took a while for planes to be useless against anything but planes and tanks and other armored vehicles aren’t even that capable cause Sundance

#

Armor controls are really clunky meanwhile a squirrel can cross the map in 10 seconds and c4 you while you’re still trying to figure out why you press reverse and the tank starts turning sideways

brittle wind
#

In BFV it takes 20 rockets to destroy a single tank

#

You can solo tanks in 2042

#

As an infantry

#

BFVs tanks are slower though

woeful rivet
brittle wind
#

So I'll give it that

Not sure what is clunky about moving forward, back and rotating, then aiming a turret lol

quiet phoenix

woeful rivet
low coral

its a general expression bro

I don’t really think good balance is being able to solo a tank because of the average match having 2x the amount of enemies

A single soldier should not be able to 1 shot a tank tho, speaking mainly of C5 which can be used and detonated within 4 seconds.

abstract night
brittle wind
#

It's hard to C5 tanks due to third person view though

woeful rivet
#

And BF3

brittle wind
#

Tanks are also fast in 2042

#

So it's harder to oneshot them

low coral
#

it is set in the future

vocal tusk
#

Yes, I also wished it wasnt the case there. But soldier movement speed was not all that fast compared to vehicle sin those games.

woeful rivet
#

You could always take on a Tank solo in any game except BFV

abstract night
#

Tanks pretty much always snipe in 2042 because of how wack the balance against them is

low coral
woeful rivet
abstract night
low coral
#

what

woeful rivet
abstract night
#

SPGs are technically the snipers

brittle wind
#

Sniping tanks are a bigger issue in V compared to 2042 though

abstract night
#

but those aren’t in 2042 so eh

vocal tusk
#

2042 is also mainly worse, because of how good C5 is, and how many specialists have it (All but 3)

low coral

i think u got it mixed up

abstract night
woeful rivet
low coral
#

why does that matter

woeful rivet
#

Because i wanna know

abstract night
#

In 1 and 4 they could be much more aggressive

vocal tusk
#

And tank 2nd seat guns are weak, turret splash damage to infantry is low.

woeful rivet
#

So 2 tanks stare at eachother

vocal tusk
#

It was better

abstract night

I also think it was better that way tbh

brittle wind

BF3 had the best tank play

A main battle tank (MBT), also known as a battle tank or universal tank or simply tank,[1] is a tank that fills the role of armour-protected direct fire and maneuver in many modern armies. Cold War-era development of more powerful engines, better suspension systems and lighter composite armour allowed for the design of a tank that had the firepower of a super-heavy tank, the armour protection of a heavy tank, and the mobility of a light tank, in a package with the weight of a medium tank. The first designated MBT was the British Chieftain tank, which during its development in the 1950s was re-designed as an MBT.[a] Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the MBT replaced almost all other types of tanks, leaving only some specialist roles to be filled by lighter designs or other types of armoured fighting vehicles.

The role of a Tank Post 1945

vocal tusk
#

They reduced MBT cannon splash damage at the same time as other explosive cannons, when really they shouldnt have. Those HE cannons now feel terrible against infantry. Unless you direct hit, or it within 2m of infantry, its not a kill.

#

"The role of tanks" bro go away, this is a casual video game

abstract night
#

2042 certainly favored infantry

quiet phoenix
#

not reading all that, tanks support infantry by taking out buildings and other armored targets/vehicles and are supported by infantry, because anyone with a nice rocket can disable a tank

woeful rivet
#

It‘s a Ying and Yang

vocal tusk
#

By what, standing beside it and dying lol

vocal tusk

Bro thinks this is real life where team work works

brittle wind
low coral
#

A tank is an armoured fighting vehicle intended as a primary offensive weapon in front-line ground combat. Tank designs are a balance of heavy firepower, strong armour, and battlefield mobility provided by tracks and a powerful engine; their main armament is often mounted within a turret. They are a mainstay of modern 20th and 21st century ground forces and a key part of combined arms combat.
