battlefield-2042

[mossy badge]

2042 is worse

[vocal tusk]

Totally useless, its mostly cosmetic, as the affect does next to nothing

[abstract night]

It’s entirely cosmetic but I’d like if it were more popular in mainstream fps games

[kindred flint]

most of the % changes look utterly worthless in the alpha lol

[mossy badge]

oh i love cosmetics that doesnt effect my main game

[abstract night]

Like who the hell wants a laser on the side rail of a gun instead of on the top

[brittle wind]

Worst part is that DF is more of a hero shooter, you can't even change your grenades, they are locked to operators. I dunno what they were thinking with that

[kindred flint]

like at that point just make it cosmetic, and dont give % values that would actually be cool

[vocal tusk]

Just put 4 lasers m8, perfect design

[mossy badge]

exactly

[brittle wind]

New operator will make it unplayable, think of Dozer with Mackay's grappling hook

[kindred flint]

ironically bf4 laser power ... or the flashlight enemies cant shoot at you when you blind them

[vocal tusk]

dozer, with a hook that can grab other players. 1000 IQ devs

[brittle wind]

Is flashlight useless on 2042?

[mossy badge]

we got options and options are never bad

[vital quail]

Since it's in df, it's actually a good idea according to some people

[abstract night]

Never

A game can still focus on its gameplay aspects well

[vocal tusk]

Also shield goes on their back, blocking bullets. So they copied something COD removed because it was terrible for game balance and design

[mossy badge]

yeah yeah yeah

[abstract night]

Cod removed shields on back?

[vocal tusk]

yeah

[brittle wind]

Yeah

[mossy badge]

copy as if shields, healing pistols and grappling hooks are not seen before 2042 did it

[abstract night]

Idk how I didn’t realize that but it’s about time since it only took like what

15 years I think

[mossy badge]

2042 copied omg so bad

[vocal tusk]

Im sure Mr. Dudu will think this is great tho

[mossy badge]

flat maps in 2042 is great in your opinion?

[brittle wind]

Maps of 2042 aren't good honestly

Besides spearhead

[abstract night]

2042 has 3 good maps

Orbital, exposure, manifest

[vocal tusk]

No trash, ive been very vocal about 2042 being awful. DF is ALSO awful tho

[kindred flint]

shield on the back was meta for bf4 lockers pistol only

[eager spire]

DF's issues are different, from what I can tell.

[mossy badge]

i dont think any of the df maps are awful

[vocal tusk]

All but trenches are terrible

[mossy badge]

but they could be

and atleast it isnt flat

trench one is my favorite

[vital quail]

Dudu would love the silk road map in bf4, it sucks because it's flat but it's actually good because it takes place in china

[mossy badge]

because my favorite bf is bf1

[vocal tusk]

S what makes a good map?

Mr. dudu: "It needs to not be flat"

[abstract night]

I mean I hear Silk Road was pretty fun for players

[eager spire]

it's not actually that great.

[mossy badge]

my favorite map in bf4 was shanghai and dawnbreaker

[abstract night]

Flat, but the problem isn’t a map having flat parts. It’s just gunplay not being designed around encouraging playing in a weapons actual range and allowing people to shoot you across the map

[eager spire]

the only part of it that's okay is the TDM/Dom layout

[abstract night]

But

But the bomber

[eager spire]

and even then that's kind of mid because they have a headglitch perimeter for some reason

[eager spire]

i don't give a FUCK about the bomber

[mossy badge]

thats basic that devs had to take 2-3 more years to fix

[abstract night]

[mossy badge]

when they cant do basic

basic of map design that atleast fill it with somethign so the players can take cover

[vocal tusk]

I guess its easier when you steal assets and art from other games to make yours!

[mossy badge]

but thats brutal expectations in the end

[abstract night]

A lot of BF1 maps are flat but still play really good because guns actually got balanced somewhat properly

[vocal tusk]

DF even adding 2042 art and fonts to their mobile version. Cringe

[mossy badge]

ok on that one i will admit that is realy really bad and i am also against it

[vital quail]

"We didn't know!!1!!1"

[vocal tusk]

So no doubt they stole other things

China tho, IP doesnt exist there, no one will sue cos you cant

[mossy badge]

stole other thing just like battlefield 2042 stole from plus system that i saw in crysis
shields in ranbow six and healing pistols

omg too much copying

[vital quail]

Bf4 had a ballistic shield lol

[abstract night]

There’s too much copying in the industry in general

[kindred flint]

that was a great top gear segment back in the day... all the stolen shit you could buy for cheap in china

[mossy badge]

yeah

[abstract night]

Like everyone is copying the worst aspects of other games for their own

[vocal tusk]

there is a difference between copying an idea, and actually stealing and using assets lol

[kindred flint]

next BF will have a BR mode... bet

[abstract night]

If it does

Say goodbye to any decent actual game support

[kindred flint]

like as bad as firestorm fell on its face... because they had a freaking car game dev working on it

[brittle wind]

DICE is bad at support since BFV though

[abstract night]

True

[brittle wind]

Bring back premium

[kindred flint]

loot piling up so you couldnt select what you wanted..which lead to an epic dr filetypethaticantsay, rage moment

[abstract night]

Dude I will die on the hill that premium is actually good

[vocal tusk]

I guess Hardline fell on its face cos it had a horror game dev working on it?

lol

[brittle wind]

Firestorm failed because it was paid

[eager spire]

if firestorm was good why did people only care about it for like 5 minutes

[vocal tusk]

Visceral Games made BF Hardline?

[kindred flint]

they needed to do a massive overhaul to it to make it playable

[eager spire]

naaah

[brittle wind]

BR audience =/= core audience. No one cared about blackout

And there are lots of blackout fans

[vital quail]

I liked it...

[kindred flint]

but then what... 2 years later when 2042 dev cycle was in the works someone at EA/dice thought 2042 needed to have hazard zone

[brittle wind]

Some say it's even better than warzone

Warzone was a success because it was F2P

[kindred flint]

and it was COD

[brittle wind]

And warzone audience isn't CoD MP audience

[vocal tusk]

I enjoyed firestorm a lot. It was 10x the mode Hazard Zone is. It just needed support and a getter looting system/improved loot drops.

[kindred flint]

so it would always be more popular than BF

[mossy badge]

and i said already that i do not support that but you saying that them adding a shield is also copying of 2042 is just ridiculous because shield exist in many games

[vocal tusk]

I said nothign about them stealing shields, im clowning on them because they are adding a shield in the worst possible way

[brittle wind]

He meant DF devs using 2042 art while promoting their game

[eager spire]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFMxMnh8aAw

[vocal tusk]

They added 2042 art, fonts and icons to their mobile version...and removed them when the media started reporting on it

[mossy badge]

delta force had 32 max players game mode in 1998
even then i will not say battlefield is copy of delta because games takes inspiration from each other

[kindred flint]

blatant ctrl c -> ctrl v situation

[azure vortex]

I’m so bad, I missed someone point blank

[brittle wind]

New DF has nothing to do with Novalogic games

Besides the campaign and remake maps(trench)

[vital quail]

Entirely different devs lol

[kindred flint]

me last night with the svk had some real potato moments.. then suddenly john wick

[vocal tusk]

It will have a paid campaign, built in a different engine and separate from the MP

[eager spire]

it will, it hasn't released yet though.

[brittle wind]

They are remaking Black Hawk Down's campaign

[mossy badge]

yeah looking awesome

[kindred flint]

oh the campaign isnt even out yet lol

[eager spire]

no, it isn't. don't know why you would expect it to be.

[brittle wind]

Releasing campaign late isn't the issue, releasing 30 different store bundles before it even hits the consoles is an issue lol

[mossy badge]

campaign isnt even out yet i remember for 2042 scoreboard took months to develop

[vocal tusk]

Its amazing what a small indie studio(With 8 studios working on the game), with a tiny publisher like Tencent can do!!

[kindred flint]

you sound like a reddit glazer in the BF sub when someone posts about DF

[eager spire]

tencent bad, china bad, blahblahblahblah

[vocal tusk]

Nothing but facts tho. DF had potential to be good, still does. But I dont think they care all thayt much about the BF style modes

[brittle wind]

It would've been good if it didn't had SBMM

[vocal tusk]

the extraction mode is well done, but its just not for me

[wheat iron]

Hellooo What are we talking about?

[vocal tusk]

Lego sets

[kindred flint]

bad FPS games

[vital quail]

Farm animals

[brittle wind]

Basket weaving

[eager spire]

i hate the FPS market.

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, just let me go into third person when im in the market

[wheat iron]

Sooo... what now?

[brittle wind]

Same, I will quit if next BF has a slight hint of SBMM

[abstract night]

Hop on Squad

[wheat iron]

Does it have ?

[brittle wind]

Not really

[eager spire]

i'd rather go into a war and die actually.

[brittle wind]

None of the BF games has SBMM but I don't trust DICE

[eager spire]

because at least i wouldn't be here anymore.

[wheat iron]

Damn... That's em...

[brittle wind]

Or ex Respawn devs

[mossy badge]

i am loving the fps market right now got to play delta force and stalker ii and my regular fps game hunt showdown/black ops vi

[abstract night]

I don’t hear a ton of complaints about HLL/squad except for how they are milsims, but that’s prolly cuz I’m not in the discords or engage with those communities. I’m just here and since this revolves around an arcade game it makes sense some don’t like it for that fact alone. But they seem like the only alternatives and they’re actually interesting

[vocal tusk]

Hunts good, not a fan of BO6 tho.

[mossy badge]

waiting for new battlefield

[eager spire]

we get it, dudu, your standards are low

[mossy badge]

i love bovi

[vocal tusk]

Outside of zombies

[eager spire]

i don't find it that interesting, personally.

[brittle wind]

I hope BO6 loses 100% of it's players by February

[mossy badge]

loved the campaign loving the multiplayer uhh recoil is the only issue becaue there is none but still it is fun and zombies i am not a huge player of zombies tbh

but zombies is also enjoyed by the people who plays it

[brittle wind]

SBMM and controller aim assist makes it unplayable for me

[abstract night]

Them using generative ai and removing recoil made me glad I didn’t buy it

[brittle wind]

Aim assist is literally an aimbot

I'm at a huge disadvantage in CoD

[eager spire]

they removed visual recoil.

[mossy badge]

you can dream but i guarantee that aint going to happen

🤣

[brittle wind]

BF aim assist isn't as powerful as CoD

[eager spire]

like, recoil is still a thing in the game, they just got rid of fake recoil that didn't need to be there

[abstract night]

My mistake

So do the guns actually have any significant recoil or is it just like MW23

[mossy badge]

hey atleast i dont threaten nvidia devs like you were doing in #technology

[brittle wind]

It literally tracks sliding targets

How is that not bad?

[eager spire]

i didn't threaten anyone, what are you talking about

[mossy badge]

can lie thats what you do go ahead

[abstract night]

Ok, as a PlayStation player, I cannot exactly defend CoD aim assist. However, this is why I’m just not a big fan of crossplay with PC on FPS games to begin with. MKB is a superior movement platform and joysticks are so much more limited in comparison. Aim assist is necessary, but it is a crutch in CoD

[brittle wind]

One of the '''''pro''''' CoD controller players got 1 kill while he was playing with M&KB

[eager spire]

what are you talking about? i didn't threaten anyone.

[abstract night]

I’m ngl it kinda does

[mossy badge]

your memory is weak i get it

[brittle wind]

It does

I played with both of them

[eager spire]

No, I wanna know what I said that you thought was a threat.

[abstract night]

But again that’s why PC/console cross play should just not exist on FPS games

[brittle wind]

Aim assist is extremely OP in CoD

[brittle wind]

Crossplay could exist if it was input based

[abstract night]

Cod aim assist is so good you’re purposefully nerfing yourself by disabling it

[mossy badge]

man if i will say something pathetic like that i will get banned so i dont post it
and your text got deleted isnt it

[brittle wind]

Controller players and MKB players should play among themselves

[eager spire]

I wanna know what I said that you thought was a threat.

Where did i threaten anyone, Dudu?

[mossy badge]

something that they have to delete 🤣

[abstract night]

I’d be ok with that

One thing that’s made moving to pc a concern for me is what to do if I wanna play on pc, but use a controller. So that would help

[brittle wind]

Or if you are going to have OP aim assist then also give some of that to PC

Halo did that

PC players had a slight aim assist

[mossy badge]

oh you are more capable of that
i remember you were wishing death on someone

so i couldnt expect less from you

[eager spire]

The Big Bell Hells copypasta? The fucking joke? That's not a threat.

[mossy badge]

[eager spire]

That's a meme.

[mossy badge]

atleast you know

[eager spire]

It's not a threat.

[mossy badge]

thet they have to delete

or did you delete it

[eager spire]

They deleted it because they hate jokes, not cause it was a threat.

i can post it again.

[mossy badge]

they deleted it because it wasnt a joke

[eager spire]

yes it was

it's literally based on the Big Bell Hell's copypasta, a literal meme.

[mossy badge]

if it was a nice joke without being disrespectiful towards nvidia devs i dont think they will remove it

[eager spire]

was it a threat or was it disrespectful.

[mossy badge]

both

[eager spire]

pick a side, dudu, you can't just flipflop between the two.

because it's potentially one and not at all the other.

because it wasn't a threat.

it's a joke.

[mossy badge]

a joke that was so bad they had to remove

there was definitely something awful written in it

that is why they removed it

you know it

😂

but yeah glad they deleted i t

[eager spire]

I wasn't even warned for it, so that's not even true.

[mossy badge]

they are so nice

3 games of breakthrough without a single revive received, sad times.

[mossy badge]

very team based game isnt it

[night raven]

I just realized this game had lore-

Looked into it and it's kinda sad 😔

But why tf they tryna make the game all hip and cool with the cliche war is cool shit lol

Shit don't add up lol

I mean

The lore is cool n all. But why not SHOW it? Ya know?

[abstract night]

No it doesn’t

My biggest gripe with the game starting at day 0

[eager spire]

i mean, realistically, nobody even cares about the lore, it's funny, the lore mentions climate change as being a catalyst for the conflicts but i got warned for talking about it a while ago

[night raven]

W h a

[eager spire]

but of course, y'know, DICE will tell you that they're not trying to say anything with that

[abstract night]

….not to be political but I wasn’t aware climate change/global warming is political

[eager spire]

even though they absolutely could, they'd be correct, and also based for doing that

[night raven]

Then why make a game on the VEEY THING!?

[eager spire]

Veey thing?

[night raven]

*very lol

[abstract night]

Like I thought it was just a fact most climate scientists agree on but dang okay

[night raven]

Yeah

[eager spire]

you'd be surprised how much the oil industry spends to try to convince people that climate change is not a thing or it's not as serious as the scientists claim it is.

i think it was over a billion dollars in 2024 spent for that purpose.

[night raven]

They oiled me up to hide witnesses 😔

[abstract night]

Lolol

[eager spire]

yeah

[night raven]

Wait so

Tf is Shearwater?

[eager spire]

oh yeah the climate scientists agree on it. it's just that the people who can actually do anything about it are being paid off to act like it's not a thing.

[night raven]

I feel like

[fading pivot]

Looking for a squad to play bf3 night pm me

[night raven]

People who prioritize money over literally trying to help the world is so dumb cause like

I dunno

Y'all already got enough to get food n all. What more do you need?

By that point, money's just paper.

So why want more?

[kindred flint]

god why is the thermal so fucking annoying not being able to see bullet drop

[night raven]

WAIT HEAR ME OUT

Okay so you know how you can throw a grenade at an arch?

Do that

But with a bullet

W h y

[brittle wind]

2142 is surprisingly accurate about climate change, while global warming is an issue world is actually cooling in the long run, our descendants might see another ice age

[night raven]

Well fack

[stone cradle]

like I said, changes in the market and consumers. Gaming isn't just something a small group of the population does anymore. Publishers don't need to take risks and sometimes taking them is much worse off than staying safe and pleasing everyone

why else is it supposedly being 'reported' that the next game will have a PMC replacing a nation.

[kindred flint]

dice just needs to do some 480p graphics, few features at "launch" and slap early release on their game... bam gamers love it and glaze for years to come

[brittle wind]

Formula for BF6 is so easy, just make BF3-4 2.0 lol

Execution isn't that simple though

[hearty kiln]

Main argument is correlation vs causation at this point. Climate change models have been wildly inaccurate since they were introduced. It was global cooling before global warming, for instance.

That, coupled with climate change happening on way larger time scales than we have accurate data for lol

[simple locust]

i keep getting this popup from the anticheat of battlefield that says its detecting rewasd and i deleted everything from it and verified integrity of game files and it said it worked but when i launch it again it does the same thing. can anyone help me?

so uhm i guess i cant play battlefield

[vital quail]

Not on PC so don't know much about it but could the stuff about task manager having stuff running be the issue?

[simple locust]

i searched it in task manager and it didnt show up

[spare quest]

Dont worry they only show up here once every year

[next onyx]

What's up Colonal?

[lilac dust]

It feels weird knowing that the next battlefield releases later this year

I know they usually start marketing later in the year but when you have a game like GTA 6 releasing their first trailer 10,000 years before it comes out it just feels weird knowing the next battlefield game comes out in less than 11 months from now

[next onyx]

It doesn't?

We don't really know anything.

[lilac dust]

We know it comes out in 2025

Which is less than 11 months guaranteed to see the game drop

obviously it won't release in december

november at the latest

[next onyx]

Got any sources or are you making it up. For all we know it could come out a later bit after next year.

(Knowing EA They'll rush it out)

[lilac dust]

ahhhh fuckin youtubers posting "Battlefield 2025" making me think it was an official poster date lmao

but yeah I guess it probably will still come out this year cos EA like money

[brittle wind]

I think Zampella himself said it but not sure

[brittle wind]

There were rumors about it coming out in 2024 actually

And they said it's delayed for a whole year

I dunno if they were true or not

I'm fine with waiting if it's good right from the start

[vocal tusk]

A CTE before release would be amazing. Getting the game in a limited capacity into live servers with actual players can only be good for it

[copper bronze]

Been recently playing all the battlefield games again recently. It’s remarkable how good bf1 still is and how battlefield 5 started going downhill which lead to the disaster that is 2042. Really hope battlefield 6 brings back those bf3/bf4 type days…minus the rough launches of course.

DeltaForce 10 X 0 BF2042

[chilly jacinth]

What sorta equation is this

[vocal tusk]

Its a count of how much many stolen assets one game has from the other

[naive ember]

DeltaFailed*

I noticed that the game lost players and Apex made a comeback

[limpid pond]

@unkempt swift you're pretty good bro

[limpid pond]

Delta force was literally only a filler. The game was doomed from the get go once they tried capitalizing off battlefield. Any game that comes out offering what the players want from their main game is gonna fail due to there only player base being loyal fans of the original game and are upset with the current state so they play the offhand version until the original releases a update

[naive ember]

[vocal tusk]

Its ok tho guys, they are going to add swimming in 10 months!

[merry heart]

Henlo

[kindred flint]

DF maps have water?!

well besides that one in the alpha that had the landing ships

[quiet shell]

Delta Force is like if Activision had to make a Battlefield game but had to use the CoD engine

[vocal tusk]

They already do that, ground war.

[chilly jacinth]

They've killed off GW

[brittle wind]

DF is such a weird game

Sliding is limited to one character but they want to give dolphin diving to everyone lol

Ngl it was nothing spectacular imo. From my view DF probably gonna be left in the dust by Battlefield again, unless something werid happens that is but doubt that 😛

[eager spire]

i feel like BF will have the upper hand cause brand recognition.

[spare quest]

Cant expect much from china

[eager spire]

If it will actually be good enough to warrant success is up for debate.

[sullen violet]

[eager spire]

We're talking about a studio of people that released a game with mouse input that doesn't function, and then never actually fixed it.

[sullen violet]

Mouse works fine for me 🤷

Haven't tried at lower framerates though, could be issue is more noticable there 🤷

[eager spire]

i mean, it's a confirmed engine level issue with how mouse input works.

caused by the game being rushed, most likely.

[kindred flint]

svk doesnt like me sometimes... go from popping people 3 in a row, then full potato next mag

[vocal tusk]

Same, im like this with DMRs/rifles in 2042 in general

Other than the 2 with the auto mode

[kindred flint]

if the garand had better scope options it would be amazing

for a single fire dmr of course

full auto ones make the others rather pointless, but still 2 shooting people is funny

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, I think its the first shot recoil thats too much on the DMRs, its quite off putting.

[kindred flint]

i tried the svd because i unlocked it randomly after using the svk.. but oh god its so bad with that recoil

same with the m39, absolutely no point in using these ones

[vital quail]

I find myself missing a lot when I spam and just need like 1 second to pause before I resume shooting

[kindred flint]

my issue with trying that is im in knife distance of the enemy most of the time

[vital quail]

Like i hit someone once and I think to myself, just one more, and miss the rest

[vocal tusk]

Recoil on spam is fine to have, but I feel like for a video game, and on a 3/4 shot kil ranged weapon, the first shot recoil could be less.

[vital quail]

I use the red dot on it so the recoil isn't as bad in my experience

[copper bronze]

Maybe it’s just me but I feel like the garand is weirdly the best marksman rifle despite the shitty scope

[vital quail]

The 4x one I can definitely feel it tho

[late creek]

Sometimes you just want to chill and try to shoot people with a sniper rifle. For me, its part of what makes BF games great. the ability to be able to do that if you choose to

[vital quail]

Just called in a pondhawk to get on a roof

[vocal tusk]

Worse are the people who try to ruin other peoples time because their play has somehow hurt their feelings

Note to them: you are playing a casual video game, this is not actual war. The outcome of this match does not matter

[late creek]

actually they are tied up to one of those irl pain chairs

[vital quail]

Got on the roof and called in our wildcat and drove off the roof less than a minute later

Also switched to dozer for some reason

[kindred flint]

youre like david attenborough right now

[limpid pond]

That's crazy. I didn't think you were cheating just a really good player is all. I use to play on a Xbox controller but due to early arthritis I play mnk.

How do you guys get the member role

[kindred flint]

id:customize in there isnt it?

[late creek]

gotta boost more jk

[limpid pond]

I'm gonna double my boosts lmfaoo

I tell you tho switching to mnk was the best thing I ever did

[spare quest]

console players in shambles

[brittle wind]

BSVM is the 🐐

[spare quest]

the what

[brittle wind]

AS Val

Is the goat

[spare quest]

its not in 2042

[brittle wind]

Ackshually both AS Val and BSVM are in 2042

[spare quest]

proof?

[brittle wind]

As Val is a BF3/BC2 weapon

[spare quest]

no way

[brittle wind]

You can check it

[spare quest]

check what

[brittle wind]

Check BF3 or BC2 loadouts

You will see AS Val seperate from BSVM of 2042

[spare quest]

which loadouts exactly

[brittle wind]

Engineer I think

[elder hare]

hi i cant look up and down ingame can someone help

[vital quail]

Do you have a controller plugged in at all

[elder hare]

a joystick

but not a controller

[vital quail]

Could be that still

[elder hare]

let me try real quick

[brittle wind]

Best BSVM setup:

• Shortened/Factory barrel
• SSCC/CC/HPE
• LWG/BCG/Bipod
• Sights are preferance but I use 1.5 holo/2.5 thermal/4-1.5 hybrid

[spare quest]

wrong

[brittle wind]

Why?

[elder hare]

it still doesnt work

[brittle wind]

Restart the game?

[vital quail]

I'm not on PC but yeah restart

[elder hare]

now it works

[vital quail]

Oh ok

[elder hare]

thx

[vital quail]

👍

[kindred flint]

bsvm gets a bipod? i dont think i ever ran that

[brittle wind]

Yeah, I don't use bipod much either

I would use them more if they were automatic lol

[kindred flint]

i use it on the svk lol, but the bsvm is too op naturally to even need it

[brittle wind]

I don't think it's that OP

[kindred flint]

i mean its been "nerfed" down of course

[brittle wind]

Shortened barrel/close combat has high recoil compared to other low TTK weapons

AC9 or K30 has no recoil in comparison

[kindred flint]

real men dont use short barrel factory should be the only option

but like its so quiet, and people are dumb, thats why its op

[brittle wind]

I prefer factory too but short barrel gives it a huge boost in TTK

For automatic

Arguably you can run HP and shortened barrel for same close combat TTK but you will run out of ammo so fast

[spare quest]

use HPE with short barrel

unless ur aim is bad

[brittle wind]

Yeah you can do that but ammo will deplete so fast

I think angel is the best specialist for BSVM because of that

He can give himself ammo all the time

[spare quest]

[kindred flint]

theres only 1 support specialist

[brittle wind]

Irish?

[kindred flint]

[spare quest]

[brittle wind]

I think Falck is too much of a crutch

[kindred flint]

how dare you

calling me out in 4k

[brittle wind]

Once you get used to free self heals other operators will be harder for you

[spare quest]

skill issue

[kindred flint]

i can heal res and give ammo in 1 package

[brittle wind]

A good Falck is good for the team but most people try to use her as an assault

[vital quail]

I found that angel with the med packs is like great value falck

[kindred flint]

oh and the faster revive

[vital quail]

It's only useful if engineers actually take advantage of the box I drop though

[brittle wind]

My favorite support is Irish because of his sentinels honestly

Shuts down grenade spam in maps like redacted

[kindred flint]

thats a crutch

eat nades like a man

or airburst

[brittle wind]

How about no

[brittle wind]

Angel is like Falck for maps with vehicles

A coordinated Crawford and Angel will be a menace for vehicles

[limpid pond]

I dig the specialist and have since the launch but no specialist will be refreshing

[kindred flint]

whelp now is not the hour to expect teammates to play the game mode

[brittle wind]

I'm more happy about uniforms returning honestly, 2042 is currently better with visibility but clone wars aspect was shit during the launch, also it was cool to see different uniforms for different factions

[kindred flint]

fucking 6 useless people sitting on the top of the oil rig in 64p breakaway and they just let d1 get taken

[naive ember]

Delta force players taking a break from their game

[brittle wind]

That's what happens when SBMM kicks in

[kindred flint]

back to back lobbies of just... "you guys cant even hold 50% of the caps??" wait it was 3 games in a row i joined and left.. even worse

[crude dove]

What's up everyone

[cosmic linden]

does anyone knows how to really fix error get device removed reason?

[twin karma]

i tried this when I encountered that error and fixed mine.
Open nvidia control panel -> Debug mode - This removes all enhancements/undervolting etc.

hopefully will work on yours

[cosmic linden]

already tried it :/ didn't work

the problem is

if i open the game i can play all day, but if i alt tab i get the error

2 months having this

[twin karma]

yeah, you might have the same persistent issue as the other users who have reported it

sucks

when all else fail, REFUND!

[cosmic linden]

i have 1241 hours on 2042

lol

i don't think they will ever fix this man, just have to be lucky the next time they update the game

[twin karma]

oh so the crashing just happened recently. sucks still

[cosmic linden]

yes.. :/

[twin karma]

then hopefully the next update does the trick

[cosmic linden]

are the devs on vacation or the updates really stopped

i know there will be no more content

[brittle wind]

I think updates stopped besides for seasonal events like christmas

[twin karma]

honestly didnt know about this up until i read it here

[arctic grove]

is it just BF2042 that crashes, no other game you own?

[strong totem]

anyone trying to run it!!!

[cosmic linden]

only 2042

[twin karma]

there's a lot of troubleshooting ideas in reddit, might wanna check it

[cosmic linden]

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Crash-Directx-Error-GetDeviceRemovedReason/td-p/14306922

i created this topic while ago tried everything on reddit, youtube, forum

[limpid pond]

I didn't realize how bad the meta spam in this game is still

[spare quest]

what meta spam

[echo yew]

this is a global issue across videogames

And its unfixable btw

in fact it's gonna get worse

alot worse

So prepare

[twin karma]

true that

[echo yew]

gamers are on average just better AND the pvp landscape is getting more competitive

everyone wants to be the next big twitch streamer

[spare quest]

no

[echo yew]

idk man all i know is that FPS games are in the worst state they have ever been in

all recent games out right now are bad at best and painful to play at worst

[obsidian lotus]

sweats in battlefield?

i hardly see any most of time most people just act like bots

[echo yew]

Battlefield is the least sweaty

[spare quest]

thats true

[spare quest]

bf1 moment

[limpid pond]

@proven timber was that you in my game

Jarhead send me that clip.

Never seen someone have have hitscan throwing knives and drop 122 kills with knives

[kindred flint]

jfc enemy choked hard and lost a 128p breakthrough after winning for 80% of the match.. but at the end this dude like half way down on the scoreboard for us is like "yay no deaths 28-0"

0 caps 0 resupply 0 revives
"yeah sniper rifle"

[arctic grove]

he seemed to enjoy his purchase price more than you did 🤷‍♂️

[limpid pond]

Mfers go 28 and 0 in a hour long match thinking they did something. Bro didn't even get 1 kill per minute

[kindred flint]

it was probably at least a 25 min match

[limpid pond]

I'll literally be 70 and 25 because I'm the only one pushing the point and some dude who 7 and 15 will be like "wtf are you guys doing, push"

[limpid pond]

Lmao bro literally only got 1 kill per minute basically

[kindred flint]

i was potatoing so god damn hard with the svk too

kept spawning and jumping into multiple enemies

[limpid pond]

Yeah I intentionally do that. Like to get clips and empty a bunch of clips into people

I'll spawn and throw 3 smokes at the enemy as I run directly towards them. Kill 5 people die and do it again

[kindred flint]

but we won, i triggered the enemy for most of the match in chat... so i mocked their choke, and i was top of the team

[limpid pond]

W

[kindred flint]

100% expected a loss though, i was astounded ngl

[limpid pond]

There's this dude names electric christ. I've slammed him every game but still lose to his team and he always says, another L for Dread

Has me tight as I'm double positive with 60+

[kindred flint]

sometimes you cant carry people to a win if they dont want it

[limpid pond]

Yeah but it's just really bad when I'll have 60+ kills and only 2 people on Mt team even have above 20 if they even get above 20

I've played games where the enemy team is just so terrible I single handedly can hold them off the point yet when I die my entire team has somehow died too

[tidal trail]

They're called mags not clips

[limpid pond]

Fuck I forgot how the rest of that argument went

Didn't he start flexing magazines after?

[grizzled echo]

also an AR 😄

[limpid pond]

Tbh his ar was sick though

[grizzled echo]

looked indeed like he took it of Special Forces 😄

[vocal fox]

anyone wanna play breakthrough offense only?

[runic mortar]

anyone here know of any Milsim Groups?

[violet badger]

Has dozer become useless now that you can shoot through his shield?

[vital quail]

Ap ammo is the least used and worst ammo type so no

[naive ember]

He's always been useless bud

[violet badger]

Nah he's usefull to wait near the M-COM once it's armed and rush the defusers.

And if someone would ever play Hazard Zone, he's good there to camp in the condor

[naive ember]

Nah he can get rekt ez in different ways

[violet badger]

If you play him well, then he's usefull in rush

not every BF player is that smart

[naive ember]

You can be the best one, you aren't going to stop a bunch of dudes throwing nades at you

[violet badger]

nobody can stop that

[naive ember]

So he's useless

[violet badger]

don't sit right on the m-com

by that logic everyone is useless

[naive ember]

Doesn't matter where he sits, everyone will prioritize getting rid of him

[violet badger]

on the M-COM there's like always tons of smoke

[naive ember]

Smoke doesn't stop anything

[violet badger]

if you chill in a corner, he can be somewhat sneaky

[naive ember]

Nope

[violet badger]

stops lines of sights

just try the strat out and you'll see bud

[naive ember]

I'm good, I don't play as pathetic operators

[violet badger]

damn bruh who hurt you, it's just a videogame

[next onyx]

Dozer being useless is a weird narrative.

Playing him ultra aggressively doesn't work.

He's a support assault.

[naive ember]

Exactly, there's no place for a Dozer like character in a video game. Why someone would want to waste time and sit in a corner with a shield is beyond me but do you bud

If that's your definition of fun then all I can do is laugh at you

[violet badger]

you must be fun to be around

[naive ember]

All the time

[ashen swan]

how can I play bf2042 with ps5 controller?

[brittle wind]

Agreed but not because it's boring to play sneaky but because shields sucks

No shooter has balanced shields

[merry heart]

Just ignore him. He thinks he's smarter than everyone.

And if he comes and responds to my statement, it means that he knows that I'm right.

[next onyx]

It's his grift. Be a dick and get attention.

As in actually being disengenuous.

[violet badger]

Yeah I noticed. A few days ago I took a look in this channel and saw him being annoying to someone else, he doesn't seem like a loved person here 😅...

[merry heart]

Grift or not, my point still stands.

[merry heart]

Yeah. Easiest thing to tell him is to get a job.

[limpid pond]

Anyone know a good video editing app?

I don't wanna use clipchamp lmaoo

[kindred flint]

pogchamp? sorry i had to

[limpid pond]

I feel like DaVinci resolve is the best no?

[kindred flint]

I used that a while back to make a video, seems pretty good

[limpid pond]

Yeah I think I'll stick with it. For thumbnails I tend to keep them kinda basic add a bf2042 jpg onto my screenshot then maybe up the contrast so it looks better than what it does

Pretty simple

[kindred flint]

then add a stupid face, giant red arrow to something on the screen

and for the title something like "you wont believe what dice did now!"

[limpid pond]

Just title it. New battlefield 2025 gameplay

Insta views

[kindred flint]

and technically not a lie

[limpid pond]

Exactly. Click baiting at it's finest

[dull path]

i like how one of the maps of bf2042 takes place on chile

(my country btw)

[kindred flint]

orbital?

[dull path]

i thought orbital took place on Kourou

i'm talking about Haven

[kindred flint]

Oooh was trying to remember maps and forgor

[naive ember]

Bad map in a bad country

[kindred flint]

haven is good as infantry only

i played it so much like that when i finally went to a "normal" match on it i was so confused

[dull path]

yeah you can go infantry all good

even tho there might be some tanks in there

[kindred flint]

no the specific game mode "close quarters" its infantry only no vehicles

[dull path]

oh i forgot

[dull path]

chile isn't so bad
just with some crime spree here and there but it's okay

[naive ember]

No it's not

[dull path]

at least it's not under wildfires

speaking of which
they are gettin insane out there

hope everyone in LA are alright

[abstract night]

California is just dry

[limpid pond]

alright video is finbally up. Now i gotta go figure out better editing skills

[merry heart]

[echo yew]

He's right actually

Mobile shields like that are an objectively bad design choice

[brittle wind]

Finally finished Angel's T1

I only got assault and engineers left to T1

Which will be a lot easier(at least assaults)

[merry heart]

Did they remove the Christmas music yet

[brittle wind]

Yes

[limpid pond]

Guessing the servers are messed up right now? After 5 minutes every game people start running in the sky and I get icked with no error messages. It's almost as if it f9rces me to leave the game

Like sometimes to when I join a game it does all of the countdown goes into a match loading then black screens and loads me back to main menu

[next onyx]

Oh nah I was agreeing but yeag

[dull path]

which engineer is your favorite?
Boris, Lis or Crawford?

[kindred flint]

tfw the stealth plane using "sweat" on flashpoint who started at the top of the enemy team ends up bottom teens, 27-2 no caps and loses by 800

i feel better after he killed me.. 2 or 3 times at the start of the match

[dull path]

that stealth bombing plane?

[kindred flint]

yeah

killed me with the incendiary bomb .. even when i was indoors at one point

[merry heart]

Lis for how incredibly cheesy she is. Crawford for speed.

[dull path]

sometimes if i shoot a lissile from above i feel like i'm using the predator missile from cod

[kindred flint]

youre playing as the doc?

[merry heart]

[brittle wind]

Lis, Crawford is good too but Boris is useless

[kindred flint]

69-11 svk still lost cause i cant control 63 others

[dull path]

the only thing i give boris is that in latin spanish he's voiced by beto castillo

beto has been known for voicing character in latin spanish like maui from moana, dr crygor and master mantis in wario ware, ramattra in ow2 and ghost in the rebooted modern warfare trilogy

[still vault]

You think Battlefield should be a game where 1 player having a good game should be able to make it a win alone?

[dull path]

that's what i feel a lot of FPS games should do
make solo play good

[kindred flint]

I was probably pointing out there how even if you have a "good game" it doesnt matter

[still vault]

Seems like that is what most games are doing. It's the more competitive, few player games, thing.
Personally I don't think it's very Battlefield. Should be a team effort.

[kindred flint]

its still astounding in how an over 20 min match, which ended up 0-~50 in score... people can do so little

[dull path]

like conquest?

[kindred flint]

had almost 1100 score.. next dude on the team was nearly 600, it do be amusing sometimes

highlight of the match though was getting sucked up by the storm on discarded, flying down to one of the ship cranes, nightbird trying to shoot me as im shooting down- fell to my death.. then the nightbird crashed too serves him right

[vocal tusk]

Some impact, yes.

Tho it should mostly be a good squad, rather than a singular good player. In saying that, one good player can elevate an average sqaud to being a good squad. Say for example a really good Falck player with supply crate. Healing, reviving and resupplying their squadmates.

A big issue of mine with 128P modes in 2042 is that regardless of how well you do as a single squad, it rarely actually impacts the games outcome. A single good squad can have a big impact on a win in 64P tho.

[kindred flint]

somtimes a single air unit, can dictate a game .. map depending

[vocal tusk]

I tried to play some air vehicles this weekend, and I just totally forgot how detremental the TGM is to air play

[dull path]

air unit
like what? a nightbird? an attack heli?

[kindred flint]

night or stealth probably

attack i dont think is "as op"

[vocal tusk]

Good stealth player, or nightbird. In the past Condor/hind

[kindred flint]

if youre an air sweat though... the tgm shouldnt be that bad, but yeah if youre not playing it all the time i can see it being annoying to deal with

[vocal tusk]

Im not good or bad in helis. Probably a bit above average. Even at that level its impossible to act or react to the TGMs

[kindred flint]

i cant believe the nightbird can simply just strafe the lock on AA lol

[vocal tusk]

Id settle for a TGM nerf aginst helis. Like make it do 90-95% damage to the stealth or nightbird, instead of 100%

[still vault]

The good pilot mains can hear the TGM rockets from far away and avoid them quite easily.

[vital quail]

If the latv wasn't a piece of paper against the nightbirds mini guns, it would be a much better counter with its flak than it currently is

[kindred flint]

id add an EMP charge to the tgm so even when i miss i can still fuck with them

[vocal tusk]

What do you do when 2/3 players are shooting at you (Which is really common)

[vital quail]

But a nightbird just has to look at you and you are dead in 1 second

[brittle wind]

1 good player can't save a team of noobs that's why win/loss ratio doesn't matter in BF imo

[still vault]

The TGM rocket gets more effective when you apply the booster, but you hitting also gets more random

[brittle wind]

I finally reached to my BFV peak again in 2042 btw

[vocal tusk]

70% of your time spent in a nightbird is avoiding stuff attacking you, which is trash design

[brittle wind]

My issue was using SMGs when I switched back to BSVM and AK5C I started getting 50-60 kill games

[kindred flint]

thats 70% less time the infantry has to deal with you being an annoying mosquito

[vocal tusk]

There are just too many counters to almost every vehicle in this game. Vehicle play is so bad

Its not just helis, its everything.

[kindred flint]

but on the flip side, if your team doesnt use the counters youre just over there suffering.tm

[vocal tusk]

Rarely happens tho. 99.99% of the time there are not wildly successful and effective vehicle players in a game

[kindred flint]

thats why i just stick with falck healing reviving and giving ammo cant care enough to apply myself to deal with vehicles when the team isnt helping

[still vault]

Vehicle play is shorter lived than previous Battlefields, especially if you don't have a squad on the vehicle, but I don't necessarily think that's a bad idea.
I however do think Battlefield should find new ways to reward squads manning vehicles together.

[kindred flint]

my wish, which will never happen of course, is vehicles go back to how they used to be in the early days, few to no options for what you can change on it.. making it easier to balance

[vocal tusk]

I also hate how explosives on a vehicle dont kill the player using them at as far a range as past games. Same with using a repair tool to destroy a vehicle, when it explodes it doesnt kill the repair tool using player.

[kindred flint]

it does damage but not 100%?

[vocal tusk]

This is what happens, its so stupid looking even in this video

https://youtu.be/gy8vLS_nQ4k?si=V_N5SXxlBn79QWJ4

I think it does like 10 HP damage to you, even if youre standing ontop of it

It should kill you, same with using C5.

[kindred flint]

jesus how did he stand up there that long and not get shot by an enemy....

thats sad

[vocal tusk]

Ive seen this happen so many times, where ill put C5 on a vehicle. the driver will jump out beside me and try to kill me. Ill pop the C5 and Ill take like 20 damage, but the enemy player right beside me will be killed.

[kindred flint]

although the other week i think i went prone under a tank and repair tool'd it to death

[brittle wind]

Using C5 trick to steal enemy vehicles feels good Place them, enemy leaves the vehicle, take the vehicle to kill them

[kindred flint]

enemy sees your c5, shoots it, blows up tank

thats what would happen to me no doubt

[vocal tusk]

Same, but it rarely works in ths game. I dunno, there are probably a hundred things contributing to it...like speed, armor amount, and the maps themselves. But vehicle play in general, and tanking just isnt as satisfying in 2042.

[brittle wind]

Vehicles are weak in 2042 because they are too fast

[vocal tusk]

The only vehicle players dont rush with C5 is the Brawler. Because it has close defense, and cant be killed with 3 C5

The brawler feels like how tanks should feel to play

Powerful and tanky

[kindred flint]

brawler drove past me... i randomly shoot the back end of it, headshot kill one of the engineers repairing love it when i dont aim and kill someone

[brittle wind]

If they had the speed of BFV vehicles but took less damage(similar to BFV) then it could feel good

[kindred flint]

all vehicles are too floaty.. gravity isnt a thing, or mass in the game

[vocal tusk]

*and if 85% of the specialists didnt have C5

[severe hill]

Don't forgot how strong the ground magnet is

[brittle wind]

C5 should kill tanks honestly

[vocal tusk]

The earth in 2042 has less mass!

[severe hill]

They should also add rocket drops for helis and jets.

[brittle wind]

If a player sneaks to the back of a tank they should be able to kill them with C5

[vocal tusk]

Yup, but it should take 3 on the rear, or 4 total to the front/sides

[brittle wind]

Makes sense

[severe hill]

I think the rear should require 2 c5 to exploded, because that is the engine compartment

Everywhere else is 3

They should add drone cages too

[vocal tusk]

It currently does, and means that 85% of specialists can solo all tanks

Thus it feels shit, and tanks arent tanky

[brittle wind]

Hope they copy BFV's system in the next game or BF3's

Bring back reactive armor

[severe hill]

They should add vehicle deformation

[brittle wind]

BF3 had it

[vocal tusk]

Reactive armor, and get rid of auto repair on button press. I liked how the vehicle repair felt in BFV. You had to stop or be really slow to repair from inside, it took time, and IIRC you needed to have a repair tool equiped to gain access to it

[severe hill]

Gunners for tanks should have the soldier use the gun rather than just being the turrent in the next game.

[brittle wind]

Nah that would make gunners weaker

[vocal tusk]

Im mostly fine with it as is TBH.

Gunner positions in tanks is a thing, so why would you use your primary haha

Bring back vehicle classes too. Loved that in BF1.

[severe hill]

If Dice are going to bring back bombs like Jdam's, glide bombs, small diamter bombs. Just let them cook like they do irl. Just add a longer reload time or bring back the ammo stations for them.

From bfv.

[vocal tusk]

I feel like actually powerful JDAMs are too strong to give to players to use themselves, even on a cooldown. Id prefer they bring back the squad leader call-ins from BFV. Gain squad score to use them.

[severe hill]

It was good in bf4

[brittle wind]

Agreed

Rewards good players too

[vocal tusk]

Its one core thing missing from 2042. Squad score actually meaning something aside from XP

[brittle wind]

One V2 can change the whole tide of the battle

In BFV

[severe hill]

Restrict them on invert flight lol

[severe hill]

Not really, people can hear the buzz and just simply leave the objective.

[next onyx]

It really depends.

You can get a good clear out of it.

[vocal tusk]

In BFV you can hear the buzz everywhere, but its never clear where its going to land

[vital quail]

The draugr fire bomb is pretty much the same thing

[next onyx]

The rockets are super distinct.

They make a very unique sound and usually you can hear them coming from their base.

[severe hill]

Just look up and see where it's gliding

[vocal tusk]

Stupidest thing they have added to 2042. Added a fire bomb knowing how broken fire damage is

[next onyx]

You can also make a general assumption where it's coming from.

[severe hill]

I mean they made it work for incendiary bombs in bfv.

[next onyx]

They're easily counterable to someone with a brain but they're brilliant at clearing things out, especially breakthrough helping pushes.

[next onyx]

They were busted at release.

[severe hill]

They worked on an unfinished engine for bf2042

[vital quail]

If you hit one of the outside walls on the checkpoint building on renewal, it can kill everyone inside with the lingering fire damage lol

[next onyx]

Instant kill and very high burn damage. Eventually this was nerfed.

[brittle wind]

I won breakthrough matches with it, at the last sector of Iwo Jima

[severe hill]

To where now you can only get hit marks or 3 kills if there health is low

[vocal tusk]

Dice decision making:

Fix Fire damage to stop it going through walls & cover

Add a giant fire bomb with a huge radius

[brittle wind]

I use smoke on all my classes honestly due to fire bomb spam

[vital quail]

It also doesn't help that you can't even see where the fire is after it's dropped

You just start taking a bunch of damage

[next onyx]

Wow adding a bomber enforces a negative playstyle.

[vocal tusk]

You can also still kill people through walls with C5. You just have to throw two smoke nades, then use the C5 through the wall. 👌

[next onyx]

Negative behavioural playstyle. You know.

[vocal tusk]

At this point, stuff like this will never be fixed tho. Ive accepted it hah. On to the next game, and hope for better

[next onyx]

Hey anyone remember explosive mgs at release for bf5.

[severe hill]

Remember frag rounds for shotguns in bf3

[vocal tusk]

I remember how broken they were pre-nerf hah

[brittle wind]

I wonder how will caliber based destruction work

[vocal tusk]

Same with the G3 M26 Mass underbarrel glitch

[brittle wind]

Will people use it to create peeking holes similar to pre nerf Siege?

[next onyx]

Yeah would rather not.

Would like it so that if you make a big enough hole you can shoot through it.

But otherwise its purely decorative.

[severe hill]

Rather a cruise missile take out the building than an unemployed creating John wick set pieces

[brittle wind]

I hope it won't create huge headglitching spots

Creating a hole to shoot through would be nice but opponents should also see the player

[severe hill]

Basically making an open floor plan.

[vocal tusk]

They could largely solve exploitation of this by making the bullets not come from your eyes. Like same as BF4 they changed it so the bullets come from the middle of the body, so you couldnt headglitch. The same principal would apply to calibre based destruction. You'd need to make a hole large enough that your whole weapon/upper boddy is exposed

[brittle wind]

Yeah I hope so

I'm not sure if they should add CoD-like penetration with it though

[severe hill]

Better be and if infranty players bitch about it, let them bitch about it.

[brittle wind]

Some buildings would be a death sentence if you could penetrate through their walls

At least in 2042

[vocal tusk]

With snipers of high calibre, it would make for some great moments tho

[severe hill]

They should also make where a violent explosions can shake the dust off of buildings to help add tactical cover when trying traversal the area.

[vocal tusk]

Like you know when youre having a snipe off, but your opponent is crouching and peaking a window. It would be great to be able to pen the wall and land damage on them. Obviously a wall pen would reduce damage a bit also

[brittle wind]

That would be cool

[brittle wind]

Yes but I don't think assault rifles should penetrate all the walls

[vocal tusk]

At the same time I'm totally fine with no wall pen, and a more fun casual game without over complications making gameplay less enjoyable/predictable

[brittle wind]

Yeah same

[severe hill]

LMG, snipers, and shotguns should do it. LMG requires continuous shooting to make a hole in the wall.

[brittle wind]

Caliber based destruction is confirmed but no words about wall pen

[brittle wind]

Makes sense

Pistols, SMGs and ARs should create little holes to see if enemy is there or not

But you shouldn't be able to kill them through that little hole

[severe hill]

I mean it depends on what material your shooting at, if you are shooting at wooden fence or wall, I think all guns could do it.

[brittle wind]

What if it's a wooden building?

[vocal tusk]

I dont think anything has been confirmed at all. Like literally no comms from any studios working on the the game lol

[severe hill]

Better run before it collapse

If it's concrete. LMG can chip at the concrete overtime making it hard to hide behind. Shotguns can make holes.

Steel can just be sparks and ricohette.

[brittle wind]

Vince zampella confirmed that though

[vocal tusk]

Make it like Minecraft, where you have to collect scrap of different materials to build and rebuild structures and fortifications /s

[vocal tusk]

Can you show me the source for that?

[severe hill]

Fortnite moment

[vocal tusk]

Cos I the singular interview he did which I'm aware of, that wasn't part of it.

[severe hill]

Sky bases

[brittle wind]

Looks like I was wrong

[severe hill]

I mean they just got back from their break and some Dice devs in Twitter talk on how glad and fun it is working on the next game.

[brittle wind]

Rumors and interview came around at the same time so it just blended into each other lol

Zampella only confirmed modern setting, 64 players, no specialists

[severe hill]

Tom would be leaking shit about the trailer or do sketches by now.

I think cooperates that fail to release good games, do not deserve to keep the community quiet about the next game.

Once a week you tell us progress.

[next onyx]

They don't owe us pre releas info.

[brittle wind]

They don't

[vocal tusk]

The person leaking info to him is no longer there anymore iirc. I saw someone on twitter state that a while ago (Tho there is no way to confirm or deny)

[severe hill]

Andrew said that the only time we will get info is on those earning calls.

The next one isn't until mid Feb

I think

[brittle wind]

I was thinking of EA earnings' call I think, they confirmed some of the features in there instead of in an IGN interview

CTE is confirmed in earnings' call I think

Instead of interview

[vocal tusk]

They also said that more communication and community tests will take place in Q1 2025

[next onyx]

A lot of things change in pre release and it will create false impressions of what's coming.

Things are scrapped and added all be time.

[brittle wind]

All gamedevs should follow Fallout 4 structure

[next onyx]

"Wow I can't believe they scrapped this obscure mechanic that ultimately doesn't work for the game"

[brittle wind]

Announce the game 6 months before release and then release it

I think we will see official trailer for BF2025 in either a state of play or an xbox showcase, then they will start CTE in few weeks after that

[severe hill]

I mean if they are doing a massive playtest early this year, shouldn't they release a trailer before?

[vocal tusk]

Stuff I think should return, which isn't already confirmed:

• Battle pickups
• Vehicle classes
• Building/area reinforcement
• Class locked weapons
• Squad leader call ins
• Meaningful destruction, but not total destruction
• Flag captures granting perks (extra vehicles, etc)
• Platoons, clans, clantags, etc (Basically make the game more social)
• Persistent lobbies/map rotations
• Server browser for official and community servers.

[kindred flint]

flag resupply stations

[brittle wind]

There are rumors about an Xbox showcase in February I think

[brittle wind]

I think 2042's circle of hell event was a tease for some of that

[severe hill]

HIMARS from bf4

[brittle wind]

Weapons were locked behind classes, uniforms were fixed and each team had different uniforms

[vocal tusk]

These could be a squad calling tbh. But those were nice tbh.

[kindred flint]

like people are so bad about playing their class (support) it was so nice knowing that those could at least be counted on...

building should 100% be back though..was dumb to not port that new feature over

[brittle wind]

Many BFV features are absent from 2042 for no reason

[vocal tusk]

Something I'd add to that list is also factions, and faction specific gear and vehicles.

[brittle wind]

I don't think they will do that

At least not faction specific weapons

[vocal tusk]

It was popular in bf3

[brittle wind]

Yes but none of the BF games past 3 had that I think(not even 4 if I remember correctly)

Faction specific cosmetics 100% will be in there though, because it will create an excuse for them to sell more skins

[severe hill]

Special forces or brigade skins from those factions can work.

[brittle wind]

I'm fine with cosmetics if they fit into the game itself

2042's cosmetics are fine, BFV's cosmetics are fine

I don't want to see Nicki Minaj or Homelander skins though

[severe hill]

They should give detail to how soldier interact with there body gear. When switching weapons, you can see other players switching the assault rifle by taking it off their body and taking the pistol off the waste strap.

When they are about to use gernades they take it off the body and throw it.

When it comes to reloading the mag pouch becomes empty after running out of ammo.

[vocal tusk]

Sling rifles could be cool, but the nades and pouches thing is something even milsim games don't do

[brittle wind]

I think they should copy Helldivers 2's battlepass system

Battlepasses aren't time limited in HD2 so you can buy them at any point

[kindred flint]

i mean thats effectively what 2042 did minus being able to get cosmetics after the fact

any gameplay element can be gotten at any time

[brittle wind]

Oh I meant for cosmetics

You can't lock gameplay features behind time locked battlepasses that would be illegal lol

[next onyx]

Mcc's battle pass was pretty good.

[limpid pond]

Played against a cheater in hazard zone. He had paik scanner with Sundance wingsuit

Popped around the corner and instead headshot me. Went killed me twice and kept only getting headshots

[abstract night]

I’d be ok with this tbh

I just hate skins if the default characters suck or are only there to funnel you into buying em (for example no default oper8r, you gotta play a character)

[brittle wind]

That's the case with most 2042 skins sadly, my issue with them is lack of helmets

But you can unlock helmets for them in T4

[abstract night]

I understand that post-launch mtx are the only way these games make money back. I don’t disagree with skins but I just want them to be good

Like CoD sells literal slop for skins for some reason

[abstract night]

Same

[brittle wind]

If default launch specialists looked like Irish, Zain or Blasco I don't think that many people would've hated specialists that much

[abstract night]

I mean honestly if they want characters so bad I wouldn’t even hate if they brought elites back

[brittle wind]

Agreed

[mossy badge]

what i want is

a playable game

[brittle wind]

Default operators should look like regular soldiers

We aren't getting operators in next BF anyways we are getting proper classes

[mossy badge]

with good gunplay and gun customization with good maps

[abstract night]

BF has always been mild with skins at worst so if they leave default operators alone they can do what they want with elites/mtx

I’m just grateful this isn’t activision we’re talking about

[mossy badge]

and with every update i want to see minimum 2 maps

[abstract night]

2 maps is bare minimum for me as well

[brittle wind]

I think that was the idea for 2042 but they had to remake launch maps lol

[mossy badge]

i am not counting rework as two maps

[brittle wind]

I wouldn't be surprsied if they decided to use leftover 2042 maps for BF2025 instead lol

[mossy badge]

yep atleast two with every season and season should be shorter

[abstract night]

2042 has decent set pieces so I wouldn’t hate this idea so long as the maps aren’t conceptually trash

Like I personally want orbital and manifest in the next game and I’m not even being ironic

[brittle wind]

Only remake I want to see is Damavand Peak

[abstract night]

2.5 months?

[brittle wind]

Best BF3 map imo

Either that or operation metro but BF2025 should have it's own meat grinder seperate from metro imo

[mossy badge]

i dont know tbh but please take less time than bf2042

[abstract night]

Metro is a map where I’m neutral but leaning liking

[brittle wind]

They should also continue ''opeation'' tradition with meat grinder maps, rename redacted to operation redacted lol

[abstract night]

Like I generally enjoyed it with the time I remember spending on it (though it was in bf4) but it does have some really tough positions to dislodge enemies out of

Some might hate me for saying this but I loved locker

[abstract night]

I always hear about it cause people compared it to breakaway in 2042

[brittle wind]

It's more similar to exposure

At least in rush/breakthrough

You jump from a huge cliff to reach to the last sector

[late creek]

yo 208 hours in 2042. I focused up and got my 1st T1 ar 💪

[brittle wind]

My first T1 was K30, wish I focused on ARs instead, my KD ratio drastically improved after switching to ARs

[late creek]

my kd is always super trash so this took waay longer than it should have.
i googled best ARs and went with vhx

[brittle wind]

VHX isn't that good imo, I dislike visual recoil

I prefer SFAR, AK5C, GEW and AM40

AK5C has a unique red dot too which is better than other red dots imo

Your KD being trash might be related to your weapon of choice

I could barely get 20 kills with K30, whenever I switched to SFAR during the same match I finished the match with 60 kills

Redacted too so close quarters map

I just don't think I'm good with 2042s SMGs

[late creek]

i was thinking i should take a break now lul.
my next highest is the P90. im halfway.
i just like the 50 rnd mag

[brittle wind]

I was thinking about getting T1 for all the weapons too but it will just take a lot of time

I will most likely settle with a T1 in each category

[bronze flame]

What are some good guns to use?

Cause idk it feels like their are so little guns to pick from

[kindred flint]

like 80% are perfectly fine its more about the user than the weapon

[naive ember]

No it's more about the weapon

[late creek]

dang the K30 slaps. it has a 50 rnd drum mag & was listed S-tier

[brittle wind]

Not really

I don't think K30 is that good tbh for example

I had more success with PBX or AC9 compared to K30

I got K30 T1 because I was already too deep into the grind lol

I had more success with AK5C and AM40 than K30 or other SMGs despite them being B or A tier weapons in tier lists

It's more about how you play

SMG headshot multipliers are also low that might be the reason lol

I got many lucky headshots with ARs and Marksman rifles

[late creek]

im ingame rn, my profile says 0.96 KD. i thought it would be much worse lol.
i rly cant do much for real tho even in redacted breakthrough/hardcore games etc.
i hardly get many kills

[brittle wind]

Try switching to ARs

I have a similar KD

When I switched to ARs my kills doubled

Or try other weapon types

It's more about how you play like I said

I am not good with SMGs in 2042 so I won't bother with them lol

[late creek]

well i just used the vhx the last 50 games or so for T1. i liked it.
idk i just die a lot

[next onyx]

I think the ACP9 is a 4hk?

It kills in vector like speed.

My bad launch vector.

[torpid wadi]

Rpk my beloved

[waxen lynx]

Anybody i can join I'm chill sniper

[torpid wadi]

Hi chill sniper

[kindred flint]

1192 svk kills..if only i didnt camp so bad on that spearhead match

but the enemy was so trash so it was easy to hold B from them

[waxen lynx]

Wassup

[placid echo]

Did something happen where it's easier to shoot down air vehicles with the tank or something?

I swear I destroyed 6 in a match lmao

[kindred flint]

my god that was an embarrassing match for the enemy on 128p kale but t1 svk done...and some memeing with the ac42 accomplished

[obsidian lotus]

my ingame is 1.41 my vs kd only players is 1.21

[strange tiger]

can make some skins for Zain, I’m tired of stared tights

[devout socket]

the holopoint?

[lusty vector]

all guns are 10/10, you need to change your playstyle... just like in any other BF tho... hence the reason i always aimed to obtain all the badges for the guns, and all attachments, since after that many time and effort put into it, i learnt all of the weapons recoil, and handling, so if i run out of ammo, and pick up a random gun, i can own it

[brittle wind]

Yes

[coral sparrow]

Hey, i just came back to the game after i had random crashes. What gun do u recommend if i like low-no recoil?

[remote kiln]

the recoil in this game is 90% visual only, all the guns are very easy to control mostly

[primal sail]

Hi there. A gun I would recommend is the PBX-45. An SMG with low recoil and is good for close to mid range

[coral sparrow]

I also looked at bsv-m, looks fun to play with bigger mag and full auto

[spare kite]

can someone help i cant get into my bf 2042 connection timeout visit ea.com/unable-to-connect

[vital quail]

Bruh not another wave of scam bots
