[echo yew]

Is it me or the DSR has like random bullet velocity

also a weird delay when you click and when the gun actually goes off

[naive ember]

It's just you bud

[echo yew]

We’re incompatible then

Just gonna never use it again

[brittle wind]

DXR is overrated imo

SWS shoots faster at the expense of a little bit less velocity

At least with long barrel and high power

On top of that you can use masterkey with it

Oneshot headshot at any range

I like it too

More than SWS probably

All the snipers are OSHS afaik

At any range

Yeah

It's really good

It is

It's a menace in mid-long ranges

I accidentally did a takedown on a guy

DICE should bring back BF3's melee system for BF6 imo

In BF3 you couldn't initiate takedown animation if opponent was in the air

There were servers dedicated to that

With regenerating HP

People were trying to backstab each other while jumping like mad man

[eager spire]

BF4's melee system would be good if they just removed counter-knifing from the game

because it doesn't consistently work and if it did consistently work it would be literally impossible to get knife kills

so

remove it from the game

[tribal kernel]

anyones game crash?

[brittle wind]

Portal should've allowed experiences like that imo but all people made are XP grind servers or milisim hardcore servers

I would've created a horde server with 4 players against 64 dozers(without weapons) but I don't think you can create something like that lol

[low coral]

no

[kindred flint]

id rather use a garand than the svd god this thing is a pile and i doubt a 15 round mag is going to help its issues

[tribal kernel]

It was strange.. me and my bud were crashing on breakthrough multiple times, any other game mode was fine

[languid harbor]

Same issue on PS5

[vital quail]

The scz and ak5c don't show up

[dusty elm]

I just noticed something, when you shoot at a players weapon the bullets go through the weapon

why couldn't they make the weapon fly out of the players hand if it gets hit by bullets, not difficult to do

[vital quail]

Might just be the dumbest thing you have suggested

And there is a long list

[dusty elm]

are you serious

[dusty elm]

So in your world the weapon is nothing not an object?

don't talk to me

who is deleting my comment?

& why?

Scott you are the dumbest person alive you take the cake

[tropic cliff]

Holiday Protocol is ending

I cri

[dusty elm]

good, it wasn't any good anyway

[tropic cliff]

no but the lobby music was nice for a change

[dusty elm]

yeah its good but too much of it is tiring

[tropic cliff]

it is never tiring but that's besides the point

Why do you want bullets to knock the weapon out of the player's hands?

[dusty elm]

because its a object/weapon

the same for headshots & bodyshots

[tropic cliff]

but why

it's just a game

[dusty elm]

why not?

lets make all the player invisible lol

im done here

[hard jay]

Based

Don't insult car.

[sullen violet]

If you guys thinking about counter knifing, it absolutely should return imo but they would need to fix it. Maybe have a little mini game giving both some chance to survive. If you are the one starting the knife you would almost always die unless something weird happened with input

So basically when going face to face best not to knife first

At the very least they should remove these 3p knifing animations or what ever they are called in 2042

Takedowns i think it was, couldn't they just have 1p ones instead if they really want different ones or 1p as option🤷

[brittle wind]

Worst part is that animations themselves could look cool on first person

[naive ember]

We should be able to snatch the enemy gun and do a takedown with their own weapon

[arctic grove]

How do I change magnification on an optic that has variable zoom? I cant find it in key bindings. I'm on pc.

[inland bolt]

Several of you are mad weird. I am asking for a bug to be fixed before they stop any bug fixes for this game so it is not permanently in the game.

Also I am on MNK and have no issues on any other games with autosprint or my keyboard. It is a bug not a hardware issue. I have changed the toggle/hold settings and the issue persists.

[vital quail]

There should be something that comes up on the bottom right of your screen above your ammo count that has the keybind for "toggle scope"

[vital quail]

If you want to report a bug, do it on the forums where important information can actually be given

[naive ember]

OHHH!! Was just trying to help

[limpid pond]

That's pretty odd tbh. Did you reinstall the game just recent? I've never had an issue with the sprint so it's really an odd one for me but I imagine there's some issue possibly with one of your settings.

[inland bolt]

It's been an issue for me on this game for at least a bit but yes I also just installed a new SSD a few days ago and reinstalled on that drive and is still an issue so shouldn't be an issue with the game files.

[naive ember]

It's best to play on console

[hollow lodge]

Anyone noticed that BF 2042 Doesn't have flash hider on any of its weapons?

[kindred flint]

cant believe my chat was set to where someone was asking to be able to shoot weapons out of a players hand

[naive ember]

[hollow lodge]

Anyone know how to hide the flash while the weapon fires? suppressor don't do the job

[naive ember]

I stopped using them as soon as I noticed that a couple months ago

Not really

[hollow lodge]

they make the game on a hurry

[patent pivot]

It's okay for only viewing stats

BUT not okay to launch and manage game content

Laughs in android user

As far as I know, no such workaround for TV and console

Only mobile

That too

Still

Android wins this aspect

Android also has freedom of local music import

I know Samsung and google phones are stronger traps

Data collection wise

And bloatware

I have OnePlus

At least that's less

Stop

Everywhere you go, it's a nightmare

Don't act like this is the first time

[vocal tusk]

S Levels come after level 100

You get to 100, then you start again from S001 to S999

[rocky gust]

?

[dapper river]

where update

[mighty holly]

[brittle wind]

People weren't kidding about Rush XL

Got like 2400+ spots as Casper

In a single match

Match ended due to time though

It lasted an entire hour

[verbal meteor]

is the AK-5c good

?

[chilly jacinth]

It's very good

[brittle wind]

Yes

[naive ember]

Have over 100k

Funny thing about rush xl is thst I'll end up on the same team as my BT rivals and the enemy will get rekt all over the place

[vivid nova]

how do i find a normal game of bf3 now that mon ami is gone

[vivid nova]

no way

imma try this

tryna get tier 1 🤑

[vital quail]

The tracker is a 3rd party service and for whatever their reason, they stopped updating the stuff for 2042 before those 2 guns came out

Add the dfr strife to that list of guns as well. It does track the draugr though as a su-70, which is funny

[brittle wind]

Rush XL is also good for Blasco, Rao and Irish

[vivid nova]

i cant find any lobbys lol

[merry heart]

It's mid IMO

It's missing oomph

[dapper river]

SquidG's rush chaos disables Casper's drone for this very reason: no fun allowed

[brittle wind]

I T1'd it already lol

[vivid nova]

?

[brittle wind]

Fastest T1 of mine

[vivid nova]

whats a t1

[brittle wind]

Tier 1

[vivid nova]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

well i still gotta on this save

account

hop on rush xl guys

[brittle wind]

Is conquest hardcore good for Lis?

[wooden comet]

Am I the only one that can't connect to online EA server for BF4 and 2042?

[fading pivot]

Any clans recruiting

[remote kiln]

the API isn't public

I've spoken to the developer they have internal APIs to track the data

more or less exposed endpoints by dice but not categorically documented

[ebon minnow]

LFG anyone wanna squad up?

username is shadowoftru7h add me I'm tired of playing alone lol

[vivid nova]

theres lfg chats for a reason

https://tenor.com/view/halo-reach-halo-meme-jorge-noble-six-gif-26235018

[ebon minnow]

oh there is? Sorry I just joined this. Thanks

[vivid nova]

lol

[naive ember]

The Toxic Clan

[brittle wind]

Which maps gives transport vehicles or helis to defenders on breakthrough?

I can grind Lis up to T2 with bots, rest will be painful though

[dusty elm]

I can't believe BF2042 Discord has moderating duds. They abuse people for no good reason by calling them dumb but when they get the same treatment they delete the person messages.... I am definitely leaving this stupid channel.

Leave server "done"

[eager spire]

...What the fuck are you talking about?

oh damn he actually left

[vital quail]

Imagine actually suggesting that you should be able to shoot guns out of someone's hands in a multiplayer fps

And then having a breakdown when someone calls it out because it's THAT stupid

[vital quail]

I know you are skeptical if mods do actively moderate chat, but they did delete messages from him and I

[eager spire]

I would've liked more elaboration.

[vital quail]

Wym

[kindred flint]

that truly was a user of all time

[eager spire]

like, the way that person phrased the message implies they had an issue with a mod calling them dumb, which would be strange because the mods don't ever speak outside of tickets.

[vital quail]

I called them dumb

[eager spire]

...what, did they think you were a mod?

[vital quail]

I think the "they" in his message meant other users

Not sure if english was his 1st language

[eager spire]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[merry heart]

how about no

[brittle wind]

Why did they patched out C5 drone?

[vocal tusk]

It's nerfed for 3 years, not patched out

[merry heart]

you know what i want?

i want the explosive mini plane from BF4 in BF6

[merry heart]

[kindred flint]

ooof spearhead 128p lobby where we only have 3 caps, down hundreds of points already and they got everything else ... noo thank you

[kindred flint]

lmao tfw you trigger a useless transport pilot ..ez clap

[brittle wind]

Anyone wants to grind lis mastery with me

[kindred flint]

phrasing

[oblique plover]

Buescamos gente de México para jugar, ya somos 2!

Jugar Battlefield 2042

Me mandan un mensaje privado por favor si a alguien le interesa formar una escuedra o si ya tienen clan pues nos invitan 😄

[brittle wind]

Fixed

[low coral]

there are so many idiots in conquest hardcore that just tmk on purpose

some kid was targeting me for an entire match

[eager spire]

i found your problem

you're playing hardcore

[low coral]

its fun tho

except for friendly fire

[eager spire]

i'm sure getting TK'd is very fun.

[low coral]

lol ur always in a bad mood

[eager spire]

i mean you're the one complaining about getting TK'd but i'm the one that's in a bad mood, apparently.

[low coral]

im not complaining

if people want to be a**holes to their teammates thats their problem

just spreading the word

[eager spire]

except you are totally complaining

[low coral]

lmfao

[mossy badge]

you enjoy what you enjoy man friendly fire in hc happens

i think it will happen less if the uniform was different for the different team but those days are gone

[low coral]

nope this guy was litterally targeting me and me specifically

tbagging ansd everything

[mossy badge]

ohh what you did that he got triggered 😂

[low coral]

idk

[mossy badge]

i used to play rainbow six siege and in that game tk used to happen a lot

sometimes whole team will have that teamkilling triangle icon on their name

[mossy badge]

intentional ones can be annoying but by mistake we all understand

[low coral]

I think i must have accidentally killed him or sm

[mossy badge]

i play insurgency many times i got killed by my teammate and sometimes i panic fired and killed them

[low coral]

and he got triggered and started killing me repeatedly

[mossy badge]

thats for sure 🤣

[low coral]

i have a clip of him killing me like 5 times in a row with medic

before he got killed by another teammate

[mossy badge]

thats funny

[low coral]

i was in a arma reforger game yesterday and there was a whole war between teammates

[mossy badge]

must have been epic

[acoustic mirage]

I hope they have a XL breakthrough, rush and FL on rotation

along with permanent cqc conquest

[neon igloo]

I am trying to buy battlefield coins but its not working when I click on them

what do I need to do?

[obtuse ingot]

Are tier 1 vehicles possible to get in Portal matches with Moderate XP?

[chilly jacinth]

Nope

[plush perch]

The hardcore conquest hit register is wack does seem to hit player when it should! Anyone else noticing that or is it just me? Go onto normal conquest everything is fine.. p.s am using thermal on my scar would that have anything to do with it??

[chilly jacinth]

Did you mean doesn't?

[next onyx]

Thermals are scuffed.

They don't actually hit what they aim at.

Most of the time.

[naive ember]

They gave up on that a long time ago

[brittle wind]

Rush XL is available now

[naive ember]

It's not the same

What's next? Hardcore BT?

@

[brittle wind]

Yeah I was right about 2042 guns feeling like nerf guns 90% because of sound

Tried M16A3

Sounds so crispy

Same deal with 416

[brittle wind]

Vault weapon system should come back to BF6 even if BF6's Portal won't have different maps from older games

Would love to play with a BF1 or BFV weapon in a modern setting

[chilly obsidian]

Hey guys, does anybody know if there’s any active MILSIM groups at all? I’m really interested in joining a milsim clan

[naive ember]

BF1 weapons are junk

Same with V weapons

[fickle wharf]

Huh

[summer birch]

🤯

[brittle wind]

Meanwhile M1 Garand is one of the best marksman rifles in 2042

It's a BC2 weapon but still

[naive ember]

I don't see players using that bud

I play redacted conquest, BT mainly, and rush xl never been killed by one

[summer birch]

It’s a two or one shot

And has a pretty good fire rate

It’s really good

[naive ember]

It belongs in a museum

[vital quail]

It's a worse svk

[summer birch]

I’m like 99% sure it shoots faster with similar damage

[brittle wind]

It deals higher damage

One shot to the head in 30 meters

No other DMR can do that

[chilly jacinth]

SVK and SVD are easier to use and actually has attachments

and an actual magazine

[vital quail]

I'm not using a dmr if I'm going to be in 30m engagement ranges lol

[brittle wind]

It's useful if you want to push

And not be a sitting duck

[vital quail]

Has the bad portal recoil system and terrible sights with only 8 shots

[chilly jacinth]

Pretty sure they have a faster ttk even within 30m

[brittle wind]

Same TTK

222 ms

SVK actually has worse TTK than SVD or Garand

[vital quail]

And yet the svd is absolutely dogshit

[brittle wind]

Garand is the best portal marksman due to lack of visual recoil imo

M39 and SVD has very high visual recoil

Garand just has high recoil

[summer birch]

8 shots but u can get 8-4 kills with the 8 shots

[vital quail]

Yeah I'm sure you are hitting all 8 headshots with the garand

[brittle wind]

You can

If you are good

[vital quail]

I guess if you play against bots

[brittle wind]

I'm playing on PC

Headshots are easier

[chilly jacinth]

Doubt your HS accuracy is above 50%

[brittle wind]

It's not because I'm not exclusively using DMRs lol

Or snipers

[chilly jacinth]

You can see your accuracy per weapon

[brittle wind]

I have 22% HS accuracy with it

Highest HS accuracy is with XCE Bar(77%)

And DM7 for marksman rifles(36%)

[next onyx]

I just treat the garand like the Model 8 from Bf5.

Rely on the 2HK and be aggro.

[kindred flint]

kills per clip were usually low for me T1ing the garand... but joy per clip was high

[gaunt hemlock]

God's peace upon you, Christ is born! Мир Божији Христос се роди! Merry Christmas!

[mossy badge]

Merry Christmas

🎄

[naive ember]

Wym Merry Christmas? It's already close to mid Jan

[orchid temple]

looking for someone to come play some bf2042 🙂

[tall vine]

almost summer

[naive ember]

[merry heart]

[devout socket]

I honestly kind of enjoy hardcore conquest

[plush perch]

Yes

[vivid nova]

i miss bf3 mon ami

i will not be on afghan war sim

[hearty kiln]

Ea announcing new bf this year right?

[vivid nova]

probably in june

[eager spire]

I mean it's already announced

[hearty kiln]

No release date or gameplay, that's more what I meant. I think release date most importantly

[vivid nova]

wait rlly

[chilly jacinth]

Yes they announced awhile ago that it's in production

[hearty kiln]

Gotcha. Think I saw q4 2025 somewhere?

[merry heart]

PIZZA HUT PIZZA HUT PIZZA HUT

[eager spire]

CTE is coming back, for a new generation of gamers to be disappointed when none of the feedback gets taken.

[vivid nova]

whats cte

i forgor

ohhhhhh

community test environment

[brittle wind]

They will use CTE to polish bugs before the release imo

[eager spire]

or Content Tested Early

[brittle wind]

Rather than gameplay feedback

They paid shit ton of money to test 2042 before the beta even

To people like shroud

None of their feedback was taken

[naive ember]

Good

[brittle wind]

That's the reason why they released 2042 without scoreboard, without classes, without squad switching option, without persistent servers/server browser

[naive ember]

Shouldn't have to switch squads

[eager spire]

not having the option is a pointless regression when previous games had it.

[vivid nova]

wasnt 2042 a battleroyale at first

hazard zone is ass

[eager spire]

I have a hard time believing that

[vivid nova]

i played one match

boring as frick

[eager spire]

It does not seem particularly built to be an extraction shooter.

[vivid nova]

it feels like apex

[eager spire]

Like, I am heavily skeptical that this game was originally intended to be built around Hazard Zone.

[vivid nova]

probably wanted to go off of tarkovs success and see if it would work

obviously

but they added a tarkov like mode

idk

maybe they were testing the waters because of firestorms failure

[eager spire]

Yeah, but realistically, a slower pace of gameplay with more detailed looting/inventory mechanics is very essential for an extraction shooter, which is why I am skeptical of the game being built around Hazard Zone. If it was, then it was never going to work with the gameplay being like this.

[vivid nova]

all i remember is tractor

[eager spire]

They built the maps around Hazard Zone, but they didn't build the gameplay around it?

[vivid nova]

can we get a bf3 remaster

thx

[eager spire]

but the gameplay wouldn't work for an extraction shooter.

[vivid nova]

its like a frankenstein

[eager spire]

it's like DMZ. It's a lazy implementation of the bare minimum mechanics for an extraction shooter, without understanding anything of what makes the subgenre interesting to people that already play games in it, like Tarkov. But they can't be Tarkov, because that would require an entirely different style of gameplay that they don't care to make. Like CoD, I don't think BF's gameplay would've ever been fitting for an extraction shooter, and claiming it was built for that seems unlikely to me.

[vivid nova]

sadly

[eager spire]

Extraction royale
I mean, nobody cared when they did battle royale.

what makes extraction royale different. why would anyone care, why would this work any better.

[vivid nova]

was also made during the age of warzone

[eager spire]

...Firestorm came out with BFV in 2018, Warzone didn't come out till 2020.

[vivid nova]

firestorm came out a year later

[eager spire]

2019, then.

[vivid nova]

alsp bf5 was still a broken mess so nobody wanted to play fs

[eager spire]

i mean so is 2042

...I'm gonna be real that just sounds very mid

okay someone just pinged me and then deleted the message

very cool

[naive ember]

He was talking about cod or something

[eager spire]

i mean yeah

that sounds about right

there's probably a reason most BR's don't do that

because infantry/vehicle combat sucks and if you're going to have vehicle/vehicle combat, you might as well just play war thunder or some shit

yes that is literally what i was implying with the infantry/vehicle combat sucking bit

[brittle wind]

Issue with remasters like that is that they live for a weekend and they die

Why is 2042's solo/coop conquest/breakthrough so buggy?

I tried to grind lis against bot tanks and helis but whenever I enter a vehicle camera becomes unusable

Lis' missile is coded like a vehicle so I can't even aim after I shoot it once, targets has to stand still for me to hit them

[vocal tusk]

solo and coop is like playing the last gen version. 20hz servers, weapons behave differently, vehicles feel different

[brittle wind]

Is MP9 the best stealth SMG?

[vital quail]

What would make it the best option for stealth

[brittle wind]

289 ms TTK with type 4 and subsonic up to 50 meters

[vital quail]

I honestly don't think I've been killed by an mp9 in the 800 hours I have played

[brittle wind]

K30 has 267 MS with type 4 and subsonic but up to 30 meters instead of 50

MP9 has a huge range advantage

[brittle wind]

I saw one in the last game I played

Guy was using it with type 4 and possibly subsonic too

He was the top fragger of the enemy team

[lean dew]

i use the mp9 with the boxy suppressor, it's quite good imo

[brittle wind]

I think you can decimate redacted lobbies with it if you use it with Blasco

I've yet to try that though

Is damage indicator removal dependent on suppressor or ammo type?

[lean dew]

yea, if you use sub sonic ammo, you have less range on the spot

also, the hitmark for the enemy i think is affected

the red thingi that tell you from where the hit come

[brittle wind]

XCE BAR might be the most annoying sniper to use then lol

Subsonic is 2 shot kill in all the ranges with it

Regardless of suppressor

So if you pair it with 6KU you will get 675 bullet velocity which isn't high for snipers

But enemy won't know where you shoot them and they won't get damage indicators

It might be the only sniper that's worth using with suppressors since there is no BTK difference between them and no long/short barrel option

[frozen loom]

XCE's base bullet velocity is butts.

[brittle wind]

Fire rate makes up for it

[frozen loom]

Rather use the DXR-1 for its one-shot potential.

[brittle wind]

DXR doesn't have subsonic ammo so you can't annoy people with it appearently

Doable with SWS and XCE though

But SWS' subsonic has a huge damage dropoff

Becomes 3 hit after 150 meters

[fast dirge]

anybody else getting weird directx crashes in 2042???

had to restart my pc because wtf just happened

[naive ember]

If it keeps happening the only thing you can do is get a console

[fast dirge]

it happened 2 times so far, last time was like 3 months ago

it just makes your pc shit itself

[vital quail]

If you search "directx" on this server, some stuff has been recommended to fix in response to others

[orchid tusk]

try that new bucket hat linux

[slate meadow]

You guys think we will get a new bf this year ?

[low coral]

later this year

probably september-december

hopefully not next year

[kindred flint]

gta 6 coming out though 💀

[obtuse ingot]

this wheeled warrior achievement is gonna take FOREVER

[merry heart]

[summer birch]

Hopefully next year

It would be dead off release if it drops this year

[next inlet]

Got a problem, I’m on pc playing 2042 and trying to play with an xbox friend but can’t invite him through Xbox or the game itself

[vital quail]

Xbox one doesn't have crossplay with pc

[next inlet]

Just the xbox one

Does the series x have it

[vital quail]

Ps4/Xbox one

Yes

If they are on series x, then they don't have the series x version downloaded

[next inlet]

He says he’s encountered pc players

[vital quail]

Well if he's on Xbox one, he's lying for no reason

[next inlet]

Ah okay thank you

[strange reef]

could be driver issue..?

[low coral]

maybe

if delta force releases on console idc when it comes out

as long as it does'

[idle moth]

Someone for play bf5 or 2042

I play on ps

[low coral]

i can play tm

[idle moth]

KiseliKupus-88

[brittle wind]

Why?

[brittle wind]

DF is like R6 Siege version of 2042

[naive ember]

It's already dying

[brittle wind]

SBMM = No fun = Game dead in 2 months

[summer birch]

There’s so many hood games coming out this year

Like gta

Or the Witcher

[mental delta]

But those are not the same category

The only direct competitor to BF6 is the sequel of BO2

People seemed to get tired of COD because of shitty BO6 so let's see if some of those dumbass get their shit together and finally buy BF instead

[spare quest]

witcher 4 is 2026

[summer birch]

The second ghost of Tsushima game

A new assassins creed

[spare quest]

yōtei

[summer birch]

A new Yakuza

Killing floor 3

Etc

[upbeat sand]

We are now bluefield

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-ip-gif-14713705772229163673

[brittle wind]

Only competitor to BF is CoD and other multiplayer FPS games

[mental delta]

That's what I said lol

Like AC Shadows obviously wouldn't be a competitor to BF

[brittle wind]

Yeah

I wish there was also a Halo game coming out so it would be 2021: round 2 with CoD vs BF vs Halo

[naive ember]

Death Stranding 2 >

[brittle wind]

I will most likely play it but I'm not excited for it, same with Ghost of Yotei

Only games I'm excited about are BF6 and Resident Evil 9

[frozen brook]

why I cannot put a screenshot on the screenshot and clips chat?\

I wish they kept Angel's original voicelines

Now he's speaking too tacticool

[frozen wind]

Hello everyone. Not sure if this is the right venue to discuss issues playing the BF2042 game. After a month of not playing, I now encounter this error "Error, Game Ended. All players are disconnected". I do want to update the game, but not sure where to force update it.

[chilly jacinth]

Game wouldn't even let you get into a match without it being updated

[arctic grove]

when i play a match and when match end it get into new match then new match is on loading screen for like 1-2 minutes then it puts me in the game with the map and players not loading in everyone is just invisible and the floor is just void

verified game files

when i restart computer is work again but repeats same thing

will reinstalling the game work or will that do the same anyway its a brand new pc

Anyone know whats next for this game?

[arctic grove]

thought the devs stopped updating the game

it was last season i thought

[arctic grove]

Whaaaaaatttt????? Wild lol didnt know

probs the worst battlefield game ive ever bought

still super buggy

and yet stopped updating

Disagree with the "super buggy" thing. The vast majority seems to agree that it runs well now from what I've seen and experienced.

And they still change the game modes and stuff. You can see the calendar on https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/community-calendar

Lastly, the quality of life updates still there like the last one https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-update-notes-8-3-0

So basically most of what Rylee said was wrong 😄 Probably just a bit annoyed from their tech issues.

[brittle wind]

It doesn't run well

I have to close every single background app for me to run it well

[still vault]

Guessing you have a CPU with relatively slow main CPU thread speed. Like the Ryzen 3xxx series or 2000 series

[fickle wharf]

works on my machine

[brittle wind]

Yes

3700X is still a great CPU

Issue is with the game

[fickle wharf]

nah man

[naive ember]

[arctic grove]

😂

[arctic grove]

The issue is your PC build not the game 😂

[merry heart]

[silent trellis]

Game doesn't run great but it's playable
3700x should be just enough just get you to high 90s or just over 100 frames

[brittle wind]

I get constant slow mo in maps with high player density

128 modes are unplayable

But also 64 modes in CQC maps

64 conquest/breakthrough runs fine though

Alright, looked up to some guides and enabled DX12 via config

It might be better this time

The next Battlefield needs VoIP like Hell Let Loose. Where every squad leader can VoIP with each other, including with the commander. And then ontop of that, there's local team VoIP for when you're pushing somewhere with your team. The one thing Battlefield doesn't need, is ally cross enemy VoIP, that's unnecessary and defeats the point. Such an implementation would greatly improve the social aspect, besides bringing back proper platoons and social spaces such as BattleLog.

[spare quest]

Not gonna happen

[brittle wind]

Voip would be nice among teammates though

[acoustic mirage]

local voip would be giga

[abstract night]

Team voip would totally make sense for casual and competitive purposes

[eager spire]

when making VOIP concepts, you have to consider one thing: why would someone use this over being on discord with a party?

and you also have to consider: you're giving this to the gaming public. any expectations of tactical use have to be removed.

[rain root]

I feel like mirroring the way Hell Let Loose does it would work really well - keep the current method of allowing squad communication but also allowing squad leaders to communicate on a separate channel. This would also add another reason for the squad leader to feel like an actual role rather than a random designation with no purpose.

[eager spire]

i mean, squad leaders had call-ins during BFV.

I don't think adding multiple voice channels would really add enough to Battlefield to justify making it a thing.

[vital quail]

Bf is an arcade shooter, not the type of game where it would be useful imo. Half of every match is filled with recons/snipers who provide 0 value to a team and no amount of voice chat will help

[vocal tusk]

Most squad leaders dont even place orders, or know they are the leader. How do people expect them to react when some random not even in their squad starts trying to talk to them haha

[vital quail]

I would bet half the people playing (mainly on console) don't even use headphones

[vocal tusk]

I have heard maybe 4 people ever talk in game chat since they added it to 2042.

[eager spire]

basically: stop trying to make battlefield realistic, it won't work

[vocal tusk]

Optional local voice would be hilarious in Battlefield tho

[vital quail]

The biggest issue i have with anything voice chat related in 2042 is that even when you mute someone, their name still pops up in the top right when talking

And covers the kill feed

And it's just someone munching on some chips

[eager spire]

it'd be like battlebit, it'd be funny for a few minutes, then you'd have people yelling allah akbar every 7 seconds and then i'm turning it off.

because it quickly isn't funny anymore

[vocal tusk]

Its still fun and engaging tho. Cos even for community games and servers, it would add a fair bit to the game.

The key is to make it optional

[brittle wind]

Voip would be useful for solo players, not with people in parties

[brittle wind]

I try to but people ignore me lol

I'm asking team to go to C when they are stuck and trapped in spawn(redacted) but instead they decide to run to their death

[kindred flint]

[merry heart]

for some reason alot of people think the pilot is on the right side

[summer birch]

[merry heart]

is it true that DICE devs were actually surprised that people used the railgun to kill people in vehicles?

[kindred flint]

oh wow this team was bad.. what a loss
my squadmate going 11-24

[merry heart]

[kindred flint]

you know the 1 meme picture of 1 ⚪ and 5 ⚫ ? thats basically how half the match felt every time id spawn in somewhere

doesnt help kaleidoscope is a fucking awful map with no flow in 128

[low coral]

yeah but it will probably have m&k support

i hate controller so much

[brittle wind]

What I meant is that it plays like a hero shooter more than 2042 ever did

Even the grenades are locked to operators and you can't change them

It will most likely have the same OP aim assist CoD or Halo has imo

That's why there is no controller support on PC right now imo

It would create a huge controversy

[orchid tusk]

It would be nice if games themselves would do more to foster the sort of teamwork typically found more readily outside, such as here, or a forum, or whatever. I would like to not have to work hard to find a good squad at any time. Some games have all the casuals and the rest have none? gtfoh lol And what of the serious (somewhat) casuals, like myself generally and really seeming most of the random people I follow around in servers. Somewhat serious but diehard solo or herd follower seems to be the rule. Which is all well and good, whatever, just always looking for the ultimate exp.

[orchid tusk]

It doesn't work all that well over there in my experience either but that and prox voice are an improvement.

In my humble opinion anyway.

join spearhead 64p half way through... go 27-4 to get top of the team.. lose by 400 nice team
join 128p manifest.... fucking nightbird sweat in an attack chopper this time ~4 mins in 20-0

[obtuse pewter]

nightbird=instant lis pick

try and matrix dodge this rocket when your defense system doesn’t register it

[eager spire]

At that you're playing "Is this pilot paying attention?"

which, if they're any good at the game, the answer is probably yes.

[obtuse pewter]

but when it works it’s so satisfying

(i miss 80% of rockets)

genuinely riding spotter for a proper nightbird pilot is like going through one of those NASA g-force gyroscope rigs

it’s nauseating

[rocky gust]

i leave that boring work to the engineers (a fatal mistake) and get killed during killstreaks by that exact things

farming infantry as infantry is way more fun than vehicle cheesing

[kindred flint]

easiest types of matches to leave honestly dice cant balance vehicles worth a damn, and a sweat will just use any numerous landscape surroundings to break LoS from lock ons and repair/flare recharge the entire match... boring af to me

[eager spire]

how dare a vehicle player play the game.

like,

people say they want large scale combined arms warfare, but they get it, and they hate it when people can actually do well in a vehicle.

like, just say you don't want vehicles. be honest with yourself.

[low coral]

dont you hate 2042 in general

[eager spire]

i do.

[nocturne jewel]

I like 2042's casual play style and ability to have AI conquest matches. I also enjoy Battlefield 4 and Bad Company 2 separately

[summer birch]

We need bf1 but modern

[mossy badge]

i love battlefield 1 but i want gun customization like delta force in next bf game

[abstract night]

I want a hybrid of the cod gunsmith and (unironically) Roblox Deadlines customization

In Deadline you can change where on the rail an optic sits which is great cause in many games devs model say for example the ACOG at the back of the top picatinny rail which

Is obviously bad for eye relief one, but just looks ugly compared to it being above the mag well

[abstract night]

A lot of people basically want bigger matches CoD

The favor of infantry in 2042 was a gigantic annoyance for me

[eager spire]

I mean, I want a game with better infantry gameplay than CoD, that's why I started playing BF.

[abstract night]

As critical of bfv as I am it actually made tanks threatening

[eager spire]

BF infantry gameplay on smaller maps is good, if the BF in question is good.

if it's BF4, it's good.

BF3, depends, but it's not great.

BF1, fuck off.

BF Hardline, good.

[mossy badge]

cod gunsmith is good but i like delta force gunsmith more because it gives more attachments options

[abstract night]

Mw2/3 also has a lot of attachment options which created a new standard for me

In modern eras there’s so many actual optic and attachment rails on guns you might as well take advantage of it with customization options

[mossy badge]

it had but sadly bro we could only use 5
vanguard had 10 attachments but ..........

[abstract night]

True

Which is lame and underwhelming

[mossy badge]

that is why i like delta force gunsmith

[abstract night]

It’s getting pooped on by some, but I like how they just copy the ui of battlefield and the animations of cod, which as of rn are the only two things those games are good at anyways

[mossy badge]

i wish the freedom of choosing weapons remains but i know bf fans hate it

[abstract night]

I’ve unironically seen people wanting 2 attachments like, ya know, in the 2009 modern warfare 2

[mossy badge]

idea of 128 players isnt bad at all imo it just needed better maps

[abstract night]

It also sucked for optimization tho

[mossy badge]

love that game but i think i am spoiled by tarkov and delta force gun customization

[abstract night]

Same

[mossy badge]

yeah

[abstract night]

In comparison bf customization is underwhelming

[eager spire]

I think gun customization should be mostly cosmetic.

[abstract night]

BF1 excluded cause I’m not expecting attachments on early bolt action rifles anyways

[eager spire]

Like, I think trying to attach stats to everything just makes it a mess

and makes it so people don't even use most of the attachments available

[abstract night]

Which I mean yeah that’s fair, it doesn’t help anyone, both the people who model and create those things and the people who wanna use them if there’s too many debuffs. Cause then the devs time is wasted and the player is unnecessarily nerfed

Like if it’s not a laser, optic or grip it shouldn’t have an in game stat buff or reduction

MAYBE a stock as well

[eager spire]

I don't think lasers/optics really change the performance of a gun at all

[mossy badge]

battlefield players will not like it but anime bundles arent bad

[eager spire]

that's just effecting how one uses it, and that should be up to preference of the one holding it.

[abstract night]

I am a passionate tactibarbie game defender

[mossy badge]

i love milsim skins and anime skins both

[abstract night]

I hate anime skins delete them all

[mossy badge]

💔

[abstract night]

True with the exception of high power optics which makes some longer range shots easier/possible

Lasers I guess could have a hip fire bonus? Which is how they work in virtually all fps anyway

[mossy badge]

there should be a feature to turn off skins that players done like

[eager spire]

well, that's still not changing the performance if the gun. putting a scope on means that you can aim for longer range shots, but it's not going to make the gun itself any better at hitting them if it's not good at it already.

[abstract night]

True

[eager spire]

like, attachments should be a preference thing, aesthetic choices.

[abstract night]

Which I’m not entirely against cause I’d like to make a really cool looking gun without it being useless with ads debuffs

[eager spire]

like, the only attachment that i'd be fine with like, changing shit about how a gun behaves, is the magazine.

You have a larger mag, that has more bullets in it, but it's also heavier.

[summer birch]

What is bro saying

The barrel and muzzle changes a lot

The grip changes a lot

Do u not own guns

A bipod changes a lot

[abstract night]

Grips, stocks, magazines, ammo types should be the only thing with stat changes depending on what the specific attachment actually is

[summer birch]

I like how it is now

[abstract night]

If you’re talking about 2042 idk I kinda forgor how it works in that game

[eager spire]

I was just saying that a sight alone would not change that much about how a gun performs, but if you're going to be like this, sure, i'll play ball.

Barrel/Muzzle: Yes, they do change performance of the bullet, and help with recoil control.
The Grip: I'd argue the grip only changes egonomics, which kinda is in the same space as sights/scopes in my view, where that doesn't necessarily change how the gun performs, but makes it so you can be more capable with it.
A bipod: same as the grip.

[abstract night]

2042 is very underwhelming as far as customization goes

[eager spire]

but also: consider that we're talking about a video game

so

things relating to how guns work irl can be thrown out the window for gameplay reasons.

and i think allowing more freedom in weapon aesthetics in customization is a fair excuse to do so

Why is there no matchmakeing ( based on bow good u are ) ? Cuz its annoying playing vs S300... teams

[fickle wharf]

skill issue

bro really asking for sbm

[median tiger]

Because there's zero incentive to do so. In BFV, I was constantly issuing orders, and I did the same thing when playing as a commander in BF4. Because it was REWARDING and FUN. Nobody uses VoIP in 2042 because it's inconsequential and poorly implemented, along with the commorose. You commorose for a pick up but nobody sees or hears your request. You commorose to push but you don't even hear a shout to push or the classic "go go go". The lack of social aspects in 2042 is debilitating to say the least. There's no shortage of cringe voice lines though.

[fickle wharf]

what are you smoking

the commorose has a bunch of different calls

"thank you" is my most used one

[median tiger]

I don't think anyone wants Battlefield to be realistic, what people want, is the BF4/BF1 formula fused into harmony. The lack of squad oriented game play doesn't do the game any favors as it detracts immensely from the atmosphere that Battlefield games are played for. The lack of tools in the sandbox, is not an excuse for it not to exist at all, such as the erasure of the commander.

[median tiger]

Thank You is also my most used one, because that's all it is, a thank you. Asking for ammo or a vehicle pick up with it is pointless however. Feels like the commorose is more of a tool to direct AI than anything because they're the only ones who can *see *the opaque square with your request. Pitty however since using AI in Portal restricts XP.

[vocal tusk]

Players needing ammo have an ammo icon above them by default

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[median tiger]

In my 600 hours playing, I've probably heard commorose voice lines maybe 20 times. Versus, how often you'd hear them in BF4 for instance.

[vocal tusk]

You also have a lot more commorose options if you open it and press F

[vital quail]

The players are just stupid

[vocal tusk]

And thats OK

This is a casual video game

[vital quail]

The stuff is there to use

Yea I know, it's always been this way though

[vocal tusk]

Ive had as much VOIP interaction in 2042 as ive had in any other BF game. Its not a thing thats specific to 2042.

[fickle wharf]

also the commorose commands dont show up in the chat box no more for some dumb reason

[vocal tusk]

Good, that was honestly awful

[fickle wharf]

NO
it was soulful

[vocal tusk]

Yes, request spam in game chat is the best!

[fickle wharf]

request ammo
request medic
GO GO GO
thank you

SOVL

[vital quail]

There's still a voice line that gets played when requesting a vehicle, saying thank you, and requesting ammo/health? (maybe just for the squad)

[fickle wharf]

yes

[vital quail]

So all the important things

[vocal tusk]

Its local audio, so it comes from the player that said it

[fickle wharf]

dont know if it sounds off as generic ai voice to others tho

[median tiger]

I wonder if that's why All Chat finally returned. Thankfully, some useful features (incl All Chat) came back.

[vital quail]

But as I said earlier, it's probably not doing anything anyway

[median tiger]

Barely perceptible. Those sort of requests should show up in chat and then go on like a 30 second cool down.

[vocal tusk]

Na

[vital quail]

2042 is the first bf for consoles to use the keyboard for chat so that may be why it came back

[vocal tusk]

If a player doesnt notice someone shouting a request, they arent going to notice it in a small cht box

[median tiger]

I can still remember playing Medic when 2042 launched, people were giving up left right and center. Then the medic indicator returned from BFV and suddenly people weren't giving up anymore. Information is key.

[vocal tusk]

And if all requests go into chat, they will miss it anyway, cos other requests will obscure it

Terrible solution all in all

[median tiger]

Better than a opaque square for sure though.

[vocal tusk]

Its all the same

If a player doesnt want to play support well, they wont. No amount of UI/UX fixing will solve that

Same with everything else.

The only thing I would change regarding rewards in 2042 is repair reward. Currently its not a rewarding action, takes too long to get score for that type of action

the rest is relatively well done, action > reward wise

[next onyx]

Just make it so you can grab ammo straight from team mates.

Simple.

[median tiger]

I beg to differ, personally I just drop ammo on the ground and move on, I'm not gonna spend my time looking for an opaque square or trying to place Angel's crate with its clunky UI. Regarding UI/UX not being able to fix skill issues, just take for instance the feedback a pilot receives about knowing where their gunners are aiming, it makes a massive difference. So it really depends on whether the issue is as simple as dropping an ammo box on the ground or being forced to guess information that you really shouldn't need to guess in a Battlefield game.

[median tiger]

That's the one thing I wouldn't change haha. It already increases the Ribbon XP fairly fast. The only XP change 2042 needs now, is for it to allow Full XP in Portal with AI enabled.

[vocal tusk]

So you are a bad support then

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Its not rocket science to figure out who needs ammo

[next onyx]

As a support main on bf5 i would always drop ammo boxes into clusters of friendlies.

It's really easy to remember that.

[kindred flint]

every revive i do, gets an ammo thrown at them, assuming its off cooldown

[chilly jacinth]

Revive someone? Box
See a cluster of friendlies? Box
Run near someone? Box
Running near frequently ran routes? Box

[quartz acorn]

wsg gangy

[kindred flint]

all but the last one for me im throwing the box so much for myself i cant waste one randomly like that

[brittle wind]

Instant refund

Delta Force's gun customization sucks

[brittle wind]

Arcom, high power extended/standard issue/high power, LWG

[brittle wind]

Cont. gunsmith systems sucks in general. People figured out how to make 100 meter hitscan/no recoil AR builds in Delta Force already. Engagement distances doesn't exist at this point. Leads to homogenization of weapon classes and play styles. Best CQC weapon type? AR. Best mid range weapon type? AR. Best long range weapon type? Still AR. Meanwhile games with no customization(CS2) are still timeless. BF doesn't need gunsmith slop. Instead they should remove mag option from plus system and change it with ''accessory'' tab from BF3 or 4. Different ammo types shouldn't exist, it should be just standard issue. Extended mags or fast/flip mags should be locked to specific weapons as ''accessory'' and shouldn't give you free ammo, you should sacrifice an ''accessory'' in order to use them.

[kindred flint]

People figured out how to make 100 meter hitscan/no recoil AR builds in Delta Force already
that was all the alpha test was

every single clip that got posted here was the same footage... full auto rifle with no recoil

[flint relic]

Guys there is a channel to send feedback to developers?

[azure meteor]

Eh, I’d say remove the plus system in general too. It just allows someone to go from long range build to a medium range build to a close range build in 2 seconds.

As for the gunsmithing itself, we just need something like the 3 and 4 systems

[brittle wind]

• system should stay but only for silencers and optics imo

It's not unreasonable to think you can just slap on a silencer and a new optic in the heat of battle

Going from short barrel to long barrel doesn't make sense though

[azure meteor]

Maybe. If it’s just taking off and putting on a silencer, that makes sense. That’s a thing that can happen very quickly

But optics are far slower. Imo it should be replaced by having more scopes that are variable zoom

[spare quest]

ofc not

Actually you right because i saw tonnes of report about the ingame solo bugs, and other kind of staff like the ai jet, etc and they not even fixed after years

And also some of the work under bare minimum effort like the ai itself, they can use every gun just not allowed and i dont know why? Also they can use every vehicle except the lcaa and the bomber😅

[pastel iris]

I wish the crossbow had a magazine.
I mean - I have the exact same crossbow... And mine has a 5 bolt capacity

Scratch that. I haven't played in awhile .. I now see a 10 bolt mag I think

[brittle wind]

5 bolt mag is like only effective in 10 meters

It's better to use explosive and single bolt

[chilly jacinth]

Personally would just run standard bolts only

[pastel iris]

I only play hardcore .. so it's 1 tap, but there is no 5 mag variant. I was referring to my personal crossbow

[brittle wind]

It says 10 but it's actually 5 mag

No idea why it's like that

[pastel iris]

Oh didn't know that haha

[brittle wind]

Even in hardcore I would still only use single

Single has the best velocity and bolt rack isn't exactly ''fast''.

With worse reload speed

[pastel iris]

Id safely say it depends on current circumstances

[brittle wind]

It takes like 1.5 seconds to fire the other shot

It takes 2 seconds to reload single bolt

[pastel iris]

Yeah

[brittle wind]

Single bolt is better imo

[worn junco]

[mossy badge]

delta force gun customization a free game gun customization is trillions times better than what i got with a 60$ next generation of fps game called battlefeld 2042

but if you enjoy what 2042 has given to you
man you do you

[naive ember]

Shouldn't you be busy customizing your little delta guns instead of talking bad about a goated fps game?

[mossy badge]

goated fps 🤣🤣🤣

[abstract night]

It seems that, in general, many people will talk themselves out of getting more from video games made by billionaire publishers

[topaz vine]

honestly 2042 feels better idk how to describe it but the movement is fluid compared to delta force

[mossy badge]

i got no problem with df movement and i also like the animation of movement in df more than bf so i am more happy there in df

[brittle wind]

More options doesn’t always mean it’s good, no one uses anything but ARs and SMGs in Delta Force

[mossy badge]

yeah people supporting laziness what can i say

[vital quail]

Brother delta force is the definition of lazy lol

No original thoughts went into it

[mossy badge]

i play sniper got killed by varous weapons so i dont know what lies you spewing

thoughts hmm

[brittle wind]

If you are allowed to make 150 meter hitscan ARs with no recoil people will use that instead of marksman rifles or LMGs

[abstract night]

I would generally say that if players are relying on 1 weapon class, that would be more of a problem with balancing than customization

[brittle wind]

Delta Force is a balancing mess

[brittle wind]

Gunsmithing creates that balance issue

[mossy badge]

well it works i am not waiting months so the game is playable or works like bf at launch and funny thing

[vital quail]

Delta force devs probably were mad that 2042 stopped getting content and wouldn't have anything left to copy

[mossy badge]

and funny thing is everything feels like that in bf

[brittle wind]

Valve is sooo lazy guys They haven't added gunsmith and 350 different attachments to Counter Strike 🤣

[mossy badge]

what left to pcopy sandbags and concrete blocks that bf devs added in all these years after launch ?

[arctic grove]

Yo

[mossy badge]

great job

applause

[brittle wind]

Thing is that not every game needs to copy latest fad

[abstract night]

Gunsmithing could help that problem agree but that’s why I think guns should just have more recoil in general. Or spread, idk

[brittle wind]

I heavily dislike gunsmithing because you get either useless base weapons(Delta Force) or a single red dot gives you huge disadvantages(MWII)

Base weapons should be good

Attachments should make it slightly better

[abstract night]

Tuning helped that, too bad players thought moving a slider was too complicated

[brittle wind]

You shouldn't turn a high recoil, low TTK weapon into a no recoil, low TTK weapon

[mossy badge]

and i hate how bad guns already feels in bf and has such a lazy gun customization that i can find way better gun customizations in free games

its sad

[brittle wind]

I dislike customization but you do you, play with your guns instead of playing the game lol

[mossy badge]

so that is why i want really good gun customization in next battlefield games

[vital quail]

Fr

[abstract night]

What if I just want to make a cooler looking gun as it takes up almost half of my screen while I also play?

These things don’t have to be mutually exclusive

[brittle wind]

Visual customization is okay

[vital quail]

5 hours in a gunsmith to sit in the back with a sniper

[mossy badge]

yeah i already surpassed my 2042 hours in df absoultely enjoying it

[abstract night]

Good example of what I was talking about earlier

[mossy badge]

just waiting for next bf game

where things i didnt like get improved

[abstract night]

People talking themselves out of more with like, very random and uncommon scenarios

[brittle wind]

I hope next BF carries plus system to avoid gunsmith tumor

Those are mutually exclusive

[mossy badge]

tumour is plus system

[abstract night]

No wonder the fps genre is so dry

[mossy badge]

people settling with laziness is what makes this drought

[brittle wind]

It's not laziness it's a design choice

[mossy badge]

design choice beause we can be extremely lazy with it

[abstract night]

Gunsmith tumor lol

Players should not be able to change their effective weapon range in 2 seconds unless this was CoD and we had overkill

[topaz vine]

honestly changing playstyle on the go is very fun

[brittle wind]

People still play CS with 0 customization, DF won't be played in a year despite huge customization

You don't understand why CS is timeless and DF will be forgotten

[mossy badge]

thats the big issues when people gets happy with just 1 map every season and addition of sandbags and concrete blocks or shipping containers in already existing maps and that still taking them 2-3 years

[mossy badge]

2042 was forgotten in just few moths after launch was sitting at less than 1000 players

[abstract night]

Again in all fairness CS is pretty old, it was in a totally different era of the genre and engine technology

[mossy badge]

oh it will be a sweet memory because it will remind me a free game had way better gun customization than a 60$ next generation of fps battlefield 2042.

[brittle wind]

It's 100% design choice, CS2 doesn't have proning, ADS, leaning etc. to this day

[abstract night]

Yeah I mean that’s fine I don’t think every single gun game needs the same things either but as far as CoD/BF go I see no reason why not to give more customization

[brittle wind]

Well my reasoning is simple, with too much customization people make busted weapons, and base guns are bad by default, leads to less experimentation

[mossy badge]

i wish that we could customize our outfits and uniform also but that aint happening cod did that and left it also i miss that

[brittle wind]

Delta Force is the worst example of what I said because it's unplayable

[mossy badge]

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, just let us add 3 laser to the gun rails which each reduce hipfire spread by 5%, instead of having 1 laser that reuces it by 15% /s

[mossy badge]

df unplayable literally played 4 hours yeasterday with my friend having blast

🤣

lies oof

[abstract night]

I mean if I could just actually use the picatinny rails on the gun that would be awesome

[brittle wind]

I ain't touching that because of SBMM

Didn't knew it had SBMM for my first 5 matches

[mossy badge]

sbmm huh couldnt kill other players?

[vocal tusk]

Its not unplayable, its just generic and crap

[mossy badge]

so blame it on sbmm

[abstract night]

SBMM is

[brittle wind]

I don't want to endure 2 minutes long queue times

And play with sweats like myself

[abstract night]

I must admit my thoughts on SBMM have certainly changed

[mossy badge]

problem 2042 is worse than that for me

[abstract night]

Connection/region based mm in casual only

Team balancer is okay

[vocal tusk]

2042 has 15 maps tho, vs 4. DF only has 1 good map for conquest also

[brittle wind]

Yeah

[mossy badge]

2 minutes what i find matches way quicker with full lobby than empty lobbies of 2042 in df

almost instant

[brittle wind]

It's not

You can find lobbies easier on 2042 funnily

Because there is no SBMM

[mossy badge]

i love all the maps of df because they arent empty and devs doesnt have to take 2-3 years to fill sandbags and concrete blocks to fill their empty maps

[mossy badge]

nope

[vocal tusk]

DF is also terrible for playing with friends. Cant join mid game, cant select map, no social features, hackers everywhere. By all means enjoy yourself, but its a no for me

[mossy badge]

many times i am finding empty lobbies

not full

[kindred flint]

hackers?

[mossy badge]

hackers havent met one

[kindred flint]

impossible the game just released....

[vocal tusk]

Lies we tell ourselves

[mossy badge]

i have not met any hacker yet

[brittle wind]

My final thoughts on gunsmithing: Everyone claims they want gunsmithing to make ''their'' own weapons but instead they copy whatever youtubers told them to copy Delta Force literally has a system for that in fact. Supposed customization leads to homogenization of variety, everyone uses the same AR with the same copy paste setup.

[vocal tusk]

Hacking problem so bad, the devs do a daily social post stating how many they have banned. But wait...it doesnt matter cos its FTP lol

[mossy badge]

thats bs

nothing true about that statement

[kindred flint]

the highest of IQ plays

[mossy badge]

people played aek smg18 in old bf games

mostly

so thats just bs

[kindred flint]

and every gun looks the same, shooting wise

[brittle wind]

I played with Welgun in BFV

Literally no one uses that weapon

[vocal tusk]

Gunsmith so broken in design, everyone just uses SMGs and ignores all other weapons. lol

[mossy badge]

they are doing amazing job that i still have to met a hacker

amazing work

[vocal tusk]

they wont bang you m8

[abstract night]

Players looking to maximize their performance with attachments shouldn’t mean everyone else has to deal with a grand total of like 4 attachments. Guns should simply have more recoil/spread to counter the beam effect

And meta players, they’re boring anyways I’m not acknowledging them

[mossy badge]

yeah i can choose anything to play in df also

[abstract night]

[vital quail]

It's like talking to a brick wall

[mossy badge]

[brittle wind]

It was funny because whenever I started to dominate the lobby people also switched to Welguns or whatever non meta weapon I was using

[vocal tusk]

There is no reason to use anything other than SMGs, their design is so bad you just want max RPM and stability attachments

[abstract night]

I mean I’m the type of dude who’s gonna use faction oriented stuff regardless, unless the gun is just that bad

[mossy badge]

smgs only what i saw peope using variety of guns in df

[abstract night]

I once popped off with the vetterli in bf1, literal ugliest gun I had ever seen

[brittle wind]

Same, I had different loadouts for my every BFV class and faction

[mossy badge]

builds that i didnt know

[vocal tusk]

You know its bad when enders is begging them to add spread lol

[abstract night]

Spread is actually good

[mossy badge]

i see so many diffrent builds which is nice

because game has amazing gun customization

that i love

[abstract night]

Players ironically asked for guns to feel less recoil-ly, which is a big reason MWII got pooped on, but it helped prevent the MW19 bean epidemic

[mossy badge]

and i know how bad 2042 is when enders is always mad at 2042

[brittle wind]

How to make no recoil assault rifles by Enders, 160K views

[vocal tusk]

2042 is dead man, this is about how bad DF design is lol

[kindred flint]

next video, enders malding about how "blueberries are lasering me reeee"

[mossy badge]

df design is awesome

to me

i am loving it

that is what i can say

[abstract night]

Radical proposal: the longer you’re alive, very subtle recoil changes persistently add up the longer you’re alive to simulate exhaustion.

[brittle wind]

Grease is popular due to low TTK

[kindred flint]

max milsim

[brittle wind]

3 shot in like 20 meters

Also one of the few good suppressed weapons

I used it a lot

[vocal tusk]

At least it will get 2 new maps soon, but then nothing again for 4 months. Hopefully they arent terrible for conquest mode. At least having 2 ok maps would be nice

[kindred flint]

hows the MTX though

[mossy badge]

hey it will be not flat maps for sure

[vocal tusk]

Gold and pink skins already

[abstract night]

I haven’t played DF so I really cannot say much but its content scheduling really reminds me of 2042. Funny enough it was acceptable then with dice

[mossy badge]

that they will have to take 2-3 years to fix

by adding sandbags and concrete blocks

or shipping container

🤣

[vocal tusk]

Youre preaching to the choir mate, this game is/was bad. DF is also bad tho

[kindred flint]

are the prices the same as CoD or lower because its actually f2p

[mossy badge]

i am loving df so i disagree and you can disagree with me

[brittle wind]

It's lootbox

[vocal tusk]

Terrible maps, terrible specialist, terrible weapon design, smoke everywhere

[brittle wind]

So gambling

[kindred flint]

actually worse than i thought

[brittle wind]

Single skin can cost up to 150 dollars

[abstract night]

I really do not understand why of all things they copied specialists

[brittle wind]

Subrosa skin for Dwolf

[vocal tusk]

gunsmith looks cool and ads a bit to mess around with, but the best thing to do always is add the same attachments that grant stability

[mossy badge]

maps are awesome guns are awesome specialist i never had issues in 2042 either so they are in df which i dont mind and smokes everywhere what

i see that in bf also

[abstract night]

I’d play it if it had default operators but did they think specialists were successful for 2042 or something?

[brittle wind]

I don't understand why they copied 2042 of all BFs

[abstract night]

That’s a very good question

Just so random

[vocal tusk]

2042 but worse

[kindred flint]

1-10, how useless is the "look you can move your grip and scope location!" feature?
