Check your direct messages

[lucid hawk]

I need T1 of car and gadget and specialist only

[brittle wind]

I can't help you with car but I can help you with specialist and gadget

[lucid hawk]

Cool pls

[brittle wind]

Alright look up to your direct messages

I explained everything in there

[lucid hawk]

All the way up my friend?

[brittle wind]

I sent the instructions to your discord direct messages my messages should be at the top

[lucid hawk]

Thx u

[naive ember]

You don't get it bud

[brittle wind]

• Short barrel, factory barrel. Extended isn't that good for your TTK and factory has good enough velocity
• SS Close combat, close combat or hp, hp extended
• LWG, BCG, maybe red laser if you want to play it more like an SMG
• Sights are preference, but I wouldn't use anything above 3.5, I would use one of those hybrid sights with 4.25 or 4x zoom, otherwise you will get scope glint, hybrid sights are exempt from this

[chilly jacinth]

What

It has never been trash

[brittle wind]

Nah, easily one of the most versatile weapons in the game

I wouldn't say most versatile though because AK5C and DFR also exists

[frigid field]

What’s the best in your opinion

Ok cheers I’ll try it out

I just can’t find one that has a good ttk and movement

[brittle wind]

Depends on the range you want to use them

Best extreme close quarters is AM40, best mid range is VHX or GEW, best long range is SFAR or AK5C

AK5C has the same TTK as SFAR, you get less ammo and a little bit worse accuracy though

High power has the same TTK

AK5C's standard is the worst ammo type but high power, close combat, subsonic are all good

You can also equip type 4 with subsonic and become invisible

Look at high power

1 ms slower lol

[frigid field]

Yeah I play mid and close but can’t find one that’s versatile enough for both

[brittle wind]

VHX

Or GEW

GEW has no recoil

[frigid field]

Ok bet

[brittle wind]

SFAR has 289 ms TTK up to 50 meters with high power, AK5C has 290 ms TTK up to 50 meters with high power

SFAR doesn't feel good with standard honestly

40 round mag is better than 30 round mag

Nah you will lose your range and you will reload much more

SFAR is good at mid-long ranges but I wouldn't use it in close range

There are better close-mid range weapons than SFAR

Like VHX or AM40 or GEW

SFAR's power comes from it's range and accuracy

SFAR is less versatile than them though

You can equip subsonic in all of them

And a suppressor which will make you invisible

Just use horizontal compensator with them

VHX is best with horizontal recoil compensator

I don't like RM because it's too OP honestly lol

I dislike crutch weapons

Prevents developing skill

That's why I don't use AC9 or PP19 for example

They are still crutch weapons

Same with shotguns imo

That's why I don't use them

My favorite shotgun is ghostmaker

With red laser

I dislike SVK too because it's made for ZH29 noobs

I like BSVM and G428 most

[vocal tusk]

BSVM is technically a DMR, but it and the G428 are the least marksman rifle...marksman rifles in the game. Those 2 almost feel like they need to be judged separately from the others 😄

I wish there was less first shot recoil/scope shake on most of the DMRs outside of the BSV and the G428 tho.

[frozen loom]

Engineer squad.

For some reason, my teammates picked the worst engineer.

My squadmates picked the worst skins for Stranded.

That Crawford and Boris combo is going to get sniped across the map.

[brittle wind]

T1 skins seems to be the best for most maps

Besides breakaway maybe

[frozen loom]

Yeah, seems that way.

Except in desert maps.

[brittle wind]

True lol

[frozen loom]

I try to change my skin to match the map.

[brittle wind]

Wish there was a way to change the color of red dots

Red dots aren't good in desert maps due to less visibility imo

I would've used dark blue or purple instead for better visibility

[frozen loom]

Can't you change the HUD colors?

[brittle wind]

You can but not the red dot

[pearl ridge]

One fucking ribbon away and now I can’t find a server because of this dogshit matchmaking

[scenic storm]

Lmao

[pearl ridge]

2042 isn’t going to fuck you

[naive ember]

I remember all your OCE buddies used to come in here everyday do the same thing

Always complaining about stuff

[signal hinge]

anyone else feel like the bf5 curve in bf2042 doesnt play like the actual bf5 curve does? i have the exact same settings in both games and noticed an odd difference

[eager spire]

what do you mean

[signal hinge]

sorry the sensitivity curve in the controller settings menu

[naive ember]

Settings is awful in this game

[eager spire]

Considering the input issues this game has with regards to mouse input, I wouldn't be surprised if controller sensitivity is a bit jank as well

Ths game was rushed.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[restive plaza]

Hay guys, whats the new update about?

Says its going to take a whoping 3 hours to install update 1.64

Im on ls4 btw

Ps4*

[restive flax]

So let me get this straight im coming from arma and just wanted something more casual to chill and play in. Helis and jets can seemingly slam into the ground and side of buildings.

Helis can often flip upside down and bug and body clip to the point where they aren't taking dmg but yoy can't take then out.

But a heli can slam its under side into almost anything cosplaying as an anvil, but a jet... a jet ramming into you as a heli makes total sense as to why both aircraft wouldn't explode on impact got it dice got it.... you've done such a great job 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[remote kiln]

1: you're over a decade late, this has been a staple of the battlefield franchise for eons now
2: as it turns out physics simulations with hit detections is very hard to do
3: don't take the game seriously, this isn't arma, if you're playing this game then you better expect wild things to happen because it's not a military simulator, it's a sandbox

[eager spire]

this is not a realistic shooter. This is a large scale arcade shooter.

[naive ember]

Don't listen to them dude they're just a bunch of keyboard warriors

[scenic storm]

Who wants to run some squads? I'm on ps4

[restive flax]

All I'm saying is that even within the BF universe it isn't consistent. Half the time I'm having to guess what I can get away with or not.

I have over 400 hrs into BF5 and as far as I can remember a crash was a crash not a scratch on my wing

[eager spire]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[scenic storm]

I feel like half of it has to do with enemy or team lag spikes, if they are running off of McDonald's wifi it can ruin experience for whole server, I've seen it too many times.

[still vault]

Vehicles are fast. Makes the Battlefield sandbox less reliable. As with all games really. It's just worse the more evolved the sandbox is.

[scenic storm]

It's hit n miss bro, I just know when I do get on I lay the pipe take no prisoners cause it's a matter of time before you get into a awfully unbalanced match.

[scenic storm]

100% Creators are too busy trying to show off they forgot a lot of the simple mechanics of the game. BF is notorious for it

[still vault]

That's not really my point

[echo yew]

Oh no brother we are NOT doing the realism discourse in 2025 let’s leave that bit in the past, cool? Cool.

[scenic storm]

Example, advanced warfare.
A lot of fps players like to relate to the game including myself. But when you make a futuristic game when people fly or shoot shit outta their ass and do all sorts of outta pocket shit, that's not realistically relatable to consumers so that's why a lot of games that try diff things suck.
They forget what is it in the first place. A CQB FPS

[brittle wind]

One of the scrapped features of BFV was ''crash landing''. I wonder how it would've played out given BFV's planes are very fragile when they collide with the map.

[scenic storm]

Which is a bummer, cause I used it a lot lol

[kindred flint]

tbf the fact you can crash into an enemy kill them, and be fine is kinda stupid

[restive flax]

Again I wasnt asking for realism but jets ramming into helos and no dmg taken from either side is exaggerating

[scenic storm]

He was born to be kamikaze, he can't help it lol

[restive flax]

As far as I can understand which is what I was trying to say before even in BF4 which if I'm getting it right 2042 is somewhat a continuation of the modern battlefield theme in BF4 with a less developed engine jets ramming and random collisions surviving into buildings and grounds and helicopters was not happening because a crash more likely than not meant death

So yea zesk even within the BF universe 2042 makes absolutely no sense is crazy we trying to rationalize this lmao but is already set in stone I just needed to vent

[echo yew]

I understand now

thanks for clarifying

[limpid pond]

Don't play the game

[queen prism]

Hello all im new here with xp from bf games , id like to ask if its hard to jump into the game now ( wanna spend time until new bf comes out) so dont know if will be hard for me. Wanna play bf2042 with eaplay . Ty for help and answers. Btw ppl still play the game ? Matchmaking mostly for 64 players

[remote kiln]

A: no it's not, the game has bots that you can play in a single player/coop form and yes people still play the game

[brittle wind]

BF is cooked if what rizible says is true

Not sure if I should share it, I don't want to be muted or banned

[still vault]

What is a rizible?

[brittle wind]

Some guy on bsky who claims to be an ex-DICE dev

[abstract night]

I can confirm as a console player that controller sensitivity and input is jank@signal hinge

[queen prism]

So can play with ppl or with bots depends on me ?

[signal hinge]

yea it feels clunky, for some reason i didnt notice it being so unpolished back in 2022-2023, except for the aim assist always feeling odd

[abstract night]

I always had the same problem. Kept switching between 2042 and other bf games trying to figure out why 2042 just wasn’t working with me, copying settings from other games, turns out the whole time it’s just broken lol

[fluid sentinel]

Can you do xp glitch’s on this game

[abstract night]

I mean you can already cheese unlocks against bots so uh

…is that necessary?

[next onyx]

Console sens is alright relatively just the input delay is bad

[echo yew]

not exactly

[wicked sorrel]

Clansranking.com

[brittle wind]

• Yearly releases
• Ridicilous unicorn farting skins
  Yeah no thanks

[echo yew]

the yearly releases i agree

[brittle wind]

I don't want CoD skins in BF though

[echo yew]

i doubt they'll go all out with shitboy cosmetics

at least not in this one

they'll certainly start a shift towards that cause go fuck myself ig

[echo yew]

me neither

[brittle wind]

2042 and V has the perfect balance imo in terms of cosmetics, like 2042's cosmetics are perfectly fine imo, they all fit into the game.

[brittle wind]

Agreed

I fear they will inject SBMM tumor though

[echo yew]

I don't think it's time for panic just yet

Also what actually tells us this guy is an actual ex dice dev

What the thread says is not good but i don't see it as the end of the world

Cause it was kind of what i expected

[abstract night]

I’ll just play squad if dice wanna screw around lol

[echo yew]

ill quit mp fps entirely lol

[abstract night]

[brittle wind]

I'll quit MP FPS if there is SBMM in BF6

[echo yew]

maybe i'll download warzone 3 if dmz is brought back

[echo yew]

i have news for you

sbmm will 100% be a thing

its not something you can escape

[brittle wind]

We don't know yet

[echo yew]

sbmm has been in games for years

10+

[stone cradle]

Nah they'll implement PBMM

[brittle wind]

BF never had SBMM

[stone cradle]

[echo yew]

the real issue is what kind of sbmm they implement and how

[echo yew]

uh

[abstract night]

As critical of CoD as I am my only other option is 2042 for a “modern” shooter so I just stick to mw22/23 if I play a modern shooter at all

[brittle wind]

SBMM =/= team balancer

[echo yew]

if bf implements cod's EOMM variant of SBMM yeah it's kind of over

[brittle wind]

I get consistent 50 ms ping in 2042 lol In CoD it can be up to 200 ms

[amber kelp]

you cant really do sbmm for games of 64 people

[stone cradle]

payment based matchmaking

[amber kelp]

you certainly cant do eomm

[echo yew]

i hate to say this, but delta force did :/

its sadly possible

[amber kelp]

delta force is 60% bots

[stone cradle]

look how many people are turned off by that though

[brittle wind]

This is also correct lol

[stone cradle]

the battlefield fans

[brittle wind]

This

[stone cradle]

the players the game appealed to

[echo yew]

CoD's sbmm was rather tame in the ground war modes, this is likely what we'll see

[amber kelp]

Also on a quick search, delta force doesnt
https://www.thegamer.com/delta-force-devs-confirm-game-doesnt-have-traditional-sbmm/

[echo yew]

yeah bullshit no

[brittle wind]

DF has SBMM

[echo yew]

It's MMR

[brittle wind]

It takes 5 minutes to find a game

[amber kelp]

is this due to sbmm or the fact that the game is ass?

[echo yew]

both

kekw

[brittle wind]

It has 10 times more players than 2042, it's easier to find lobbies in 2042

[echo yew]

CadWoman tested the matchmaking

the game goes from a chill fps to world championship league ultimate grand prix finals

[amber kelp]

100k players holy sh*t

why

[echo yew]

The worst aspect of the thread is the yearly releases bit

[brittle wind]

F2P

It's also playable lol

Not for me but it works off the box

[echo yew]

its def playable

its just not fun

[brittle wind]

SBMM makes it unplayable for me

[echo yew]

now then they added a 1 shot sniper so i'll fuck around with that maybe it makes the game fun

but DF is just a hybrid of 2042 and MWII

[amber kelp]

Theyve tried this before. Gave us battlefront 2015 and hardline.... great

or the wonderous battlefront 2

[echo yew]

aids.

[brittle wind]

MP FPS 10 years ago: ''If you are getting your ass beaten then just git gud''
MP FPS now: ''If you are getting your ass beaten just play like shit to get easier lobbies''

[next onyx]

What's mmr? @echo yew

[echo yew]

matchmaking rank

elo basically

[next onyx]

Ohhhh that's not too terrible but still cringe to segregate.

[echo yew]

depending on your performance you get a certain rank every match

[amber kelp]

games 10 years ago had sbmm, they just werent as strict

[echo yew]

so next match you're thrown with players of similar rank

[brittle wind]

If there is SBMM there won't be any server browsers or persistent lobbies too

[echo yew]

server browser confirmed to NOT happen in BF6 lmao

i hate that but

yeah

[amber kelp]

incredible

[brittle wind]

Who confirmed that?

[echo yew]

common sense

[next onyx]

Totals made a statement too

[echo yew]

why would modern studio heads allow their players to control their experience :))))

[amber kelp]

the server browser became enough of a sticking point for 2042 that they'll probably add it.
Cant bet on it being good though

[brittle wind]

Oh yeah I'm definitely not buying next BF then, I will finish my grind for 2042 then most likely quit MP FPS games

[amber kelp]

I know that if there isnt one then bf6 is an immediate pass for me

[echo yew]

one thing is there being a server browser

the other is having the playerbase not waste it

see: bot farms, afghanistan simulators and ego trip admins

[vocal tusk]

Why is this weird person trying to rile people up with weird fake assumptions?

[brittle wind]

Who?

[vocal tusk]

the guy making "confirmed" statements

[echo yew]

oh me

[brittle wind]

Well nothing is confirmed but I don't trust CoD and Apex devs to NOT implement SBMM

[echo yew]

didn't know i was trying to rile people up but sure buddy

[brittle wind]

TF had no SBMM but Apex has the same disgusting SBMM as CoD

[amber kelp]

this is more about how portal was structured.
since lobbies werent persistent and dissapeared when they emptied, it was impossible for subcommunities to form and make a tailored experience. So the only consistent stuff you could find was lowest common denominator memes

[vocal tusk]

Why lie, is it attention youre after?

[echo yew]

you see i wouldn't mind matchmaking only if persistent lobbies were a thing

[vocal tusk]

Id imagine the next game will at least have persistent lobbies. But id also imagine it will have a server browser.

[echo yew]

From what the industry has shown i personally don't have expectations for a server browser at all, just what i can see.

[brittle wind]

You can't have them with SBMM though. That's the point of SBMM. Game deciding what you are going to play for your next match instead of you deciding it yourself.

[echo yew]

Not exactly

[brittle wind]

It's exactly like that

[vocal tusk]

No clue why they would add SBMM, it would garner them instant negativity. Just look at Delta Force, their devs continue to lie about the presence of SBMM, and need to bot their reviews on steam to up the rating from mixed to positive.

[brittle wind]

SBMM = more casuals, more customers, more money

[stone cradle]

I shall consult my crystal ball on the future fate of Delta Force

the steam player numbers, because everyone else bases their opinions of a game on that metric solely

[brittle wind]

I think SBMM 100% will be in their battle royale though if those battle royale rumors are true, BR players loves SBMM anyways, but I'm not sure if it's going to be in MP

[vocal tusk]

Well they gain an eyewatering 10k extra CCUs from a new season and 2 new maps. So time will tell if the 3/4 months to the next season sees the numbers fall off. Player base remains healty tho

That game also suffers from lack of server browser, or ways to select the map you want.

[echo yew]

Here's the thing SBMM isn't the worst thing in the world, it does somewhat improve the experience for the lower skilled players, the issue seems to be with the modern cod title's implementation of SBMM goes all the way to actively worsen the experience for the above average skilled players because it's so strict and changes the players you get matched with from one match to the next.

I might be wrong here but when SBMM works it's hardly noticeable, when you actually notice it... yeah lol.

[stone cradle]

87K from launch of 130k.. they seem to be doing... pretty good..

[amber kelp]

Its battlefield, sbmm isnt even going to function.

[echo yew]

delta force can stay afloat because it's free, its not gonna die that early

[amber kelp]

free games die all the time

[vocal tusk]

SBMM isnt the worst thing in the world no. I agree. But I dont think BF necessarily needs it.

[echo yew]

me neither, but i wouldn't be surprised if they implemented it.

[vocal tusk]

I would, as the next game needs to get players back on side

They cant afford a fuck up

[stone cradle]

they absolutely won't do that for the core MP experience atleast

they want to play it as much safe as possible

[vocal tusk]

Next game being a flop means all their future plans are screwed

[stone cradle]

appealing to the people who say "BF3/4 is peak BF, everything else is bad"

[echo yew]

64 players doesn't allow for strict matchmaking systems without long waiting times or bot filled matches unless the playerbase is in the millions like warzone's

[brittle wind]

It is the worst thing in the world

[brittle wind]

@echo yew

[vocal tusk]

COD WZ has SBMM and 80 + player lobbies. I dont think its not doable, especially when you only need to split the teams into 2 sides...instead of into 20 squads of 4

[next onyx]

https://bsky.app/profile/rizible.bsky.social/post/3lfysl6rcfs2g

Rizible (@rizible.bsky.social)

The Battlefield section from EA's Investor's Day has started to generate sparks of hype for the new game. It'll certainly be different, because 98% of the people who made previous Battlefield games have left EA. Let me explain how DICE imploded and this new crew is trying to build things back up...

Bluesky · Jan 18, 2025, 7:39 AM

Just found this

[brittle wind]

That's my hope, I enjoy 2042 far more than I do any modern CoD simply because my connection is stable. SBMM would want to match me with people from USA or east asia. That's why I quit BO6 lol, game was searching for 200ms matches for me. Yeah no thanks I don't want to play a game just to have a predetermined lose.

[brittle wind]

That's what we've been talking about, though Rizible doesn't mention anything about SBMM he mentions CoDification of BF

[next onyx]

My bad

I'm at work LOL

[brittle wind]

With yearly releases, crazy skins and such.

[echo yew]

haven't people said BF is "too much like cod" for like 12 years now

[vocal tusk]

Codification in this sense is not SBMMs addition, it was them doing yearly/bi-yearly games from different studios. But that is no longer the plan also

[stone cradle]

BF was too much like COD from the start, their first game was a ww2 shooter just like COD's

[echo yew]

i also don't think they mean crazy skins, at least not off the bat with this 2025 game

i think they mean having a lot of skins in the store

and maybe we'll start to see a transition from grounded skins into the wacky ones later on.. which yeah please no

[brittle wind]

It can still be the plan, not different games from different studios necessarily but for example DICE is making MP now, Ripple Effect is making 3rd mode, Criterion and Motive are making SP. So instead of every studio making a new game from scratch they could still divide the work force and make different parts of new games instead. Like DICE making BF6 and BF7's MP parts, Criterion and Motive making BF6 and BF7's SP parts and Ripple Effect making BF6 and 7's third modes.

I don't think it can work though, they can barely make a single live service game in like 3+ years, either they will rush the game or once they release it then it will have like 0 new content

[vocal tusk]

What I would love them to do with BF...is do a community first game and testing program...build a game core that the majority of players agree is a good/fun Battlefield...then just use that and iterate upon it to build all future games.

I dont want/need them to remake how a tanks, helis or Jets works for every game, every 3/4 years...I want them to make a game, then another game (Or paid DLC) with more maps, a new era, whatever...without all the technical debt of having to remake every single thing from scratch each time.

If this is what codification means, im all for it. I dont need a totally new game, engine version and brand new systems every single game.

[stone cradle]

I bet Battlefield Mobile is on the roadmap but not this year.
Didn't they just... state they wanted to move away from mobile gaming

[brittle wind]

I agree with this, this is the biggest issue of CoD too funnily, they try to make a live service model with annual releases, it just won't work when you make a new game form scratch every single time. That's why MWIII had a working anti cheat and BO6 is still unplayable. Different devs, different sensibilities, different priorities leading to inconsistencies.

[stone cradle]

they shut down BF Mobile and apex mobile, why would they start from square one again instead of repivoting instead of starting up a new studio or something

[echo yew]

yeah like wasn't there already a BF mobile and didn't it get cancelled a year ago

[brittle wind]

Yeah

[vocal tusk]

The BF Mobile game they had in dev was actually terrible. Mobile games these days dont feel like mobile games. but BF Mobile felt like a mobile FPS from 2010

[echo yew]

this would be nice, the odds of it happening?

[stone cradle]

I mean it was ok. It had classes and quite a bit of destruction

but yeah it played like ass

played some of the beta myself through a vpn

[vocal tusk]

Low, but I doubt EA want them remaking entire games and systems, having to do new design work for everything with every single game. Find how a tank works best...and use that for tanks. We dont need 10 different games, with 10 different feeling tank mechanics.

[stone cradle]

I'm down for that, as long as the gaps aren't as short as 1 year

they'll fall into the problem COD devs have too

[brittle wind]

BF needs minimum 2 years between games imo

Arguably 3

[stone cradle]

if the game has core issues they'll spend so much time fixing that and then... "whoops the next one is out, go buy that one guys!"

[vocal tusk]

Obviously if they had/have staff retention issues...and as a result knowledge loss on core systems...thats also not good. So they need to not just build healthy games, but also health team and company dynamics.

[vocal tusk]

2 years makes more sense to me. Most games only peak (I dont mean in player numbers) 6 months into their life...it makes little sense for a new game to arrive 6 months down the line. I also dont think they have enough studios/staff to pull that off. (Based on content creation times stated for current/past games)

[stone cradle]

yeah they have a third of the resources acti does focused on BF

I don't want it to become like COD as in every other EA studio is subjected to the BF mines

[echo yew]

sentenced to the call of duty mines

No like actually i would like to see Infinity Ward just go and make a different FPS separate from cod

[stone cradle]

IW actually want to make an rpg

from what I've heard

[vocal tusk]

But their last game has an RPG!

[stone cradle]

But why do that when COD is low effort and the masses fork over their wallets for the next bunny girl snoop dogg bundle

[vocal tusk]

I doubt MS will want them taking risks and deviating far from what they already know. At least in the short term

[stone cradle]

They're struggling with the narrative after MW19? ChatGPT can solve that

I mean.. it has for BO6

[vocal tusk]

Im sure they have the capability to make any type of game they wanted to tho

[stone cradle]

yeah, for all their faults, they're a talented studio

[echo yew]

inb4 MWIV just erases the MWIII campaign from the canon

[echo yew]

my brain wasn't in my head is actually the funniest shit

[abstract night]

Please do at this point

Mw23 campaign was dumb

[stone cradle]

they'll probably do a mw19 for ghosts and reboot that

atleast if the datamined references in codhq are anything to go by

[echo yew]

wait what

[brittle wind]

I don't care much about CoD besides Treyarch(or Raven nowadays) SPs honestly. I will most likely rent it for 5 bucks next year, play the campaign, play a few matches with my friend who loves CoD then uninstall it 🤷 I thought BO6 could be my main MP game but SBMM drove me crazy

[abstract night]

IW campaigns are usually okay (I liked the mw19 campaign) but idk what they were doing with 22 and 23

[brittle wind]

Well I haven't played MW19 or M22 campaigns so I don't care, I also dislike reboots, I like how BO campaigns still has continuity from old CoD

[stone cradle]

Probably from the brain drain that happened after MW19

specifically with the writing team

[kindred flint]

i read the first sentence and thought you were talking about the cod player base

[limpid pond]

someone say cod player base?

cod is bad, just like the tok

I'm playing with a cheater on my team right now

He's headshot aimbotting with the xce and mp412 Rex

It's been 13 minutes and he's 92 and 8

He's a level 81

[kindred flint]

raw talent

[limpid pond]

Lmao he's 126 and 13

[kindred flint]

good game sense

[limpid pond]

I'm following him around he's legit aimbotting lmfaoo

[kindred flint]

probably played aim trainer before hopping on

[limpid pond]

I got the clips I'll post in a sec

I'll upload in a sec bro it's undeniable aimbot

Is there any way to get a mod to ban this guy??

@zenith tangle sorry for the ping. Is there anyway you guys can ban people in game??

[kindred flint]

nah that doesnt work

you have to post 1000% obvious spin botter clips on reddit- they gain traction, then a dev looks at it and says "oh golly reporting this internally"

[limpid pond]

I'm about to upload

Yo check #screenshots-and-clips

Bro got a total of 160 kills with 156 of them being headshots lol

[kindred flint]

nah theyre just using the wall hacks specialist thats why they are so legit

[limpid pond]

I made a reddit post for it

Bros headshot kills are 10k out of his 13k total kills

His headshot percentage is 79%

@vocal tusk found another one tonight lmao

[strange tiger]

I've seen guys who can take a people with two shots use svk, but i usually need to take three

[limpid pond]

Can enemies see the laser sight beaming out of your gun?

[placid echo]

yes

[frozen loom]

I never seen anyone else's laser sights.

🤔

[placid echo]

You have to be close for it to render. It's also not as bright in 3rd person

[frozen loom]

I get so bothered by it, that I press the 8 key to turn it off. I probably don't get its benefits when I do though.

I won't pre-order the upcoming Battlefield game.

Thanks, Rizible.

[naive ember]

I'm good also, when it comes to hours on fps games it's all going to warzone

[vernal vigil]

It's fair to say that the ones who say 'which FPS game is better? COD or Battlefield?" is so BS.

[eager spire]

The answer is neither of them.

[vernal vigil]

Thank you, Lycan.

[eager spire]

FPS market is chalked rn, actually just don't

[vernal vigil]

Yeah. I have to remind myself that there's the other knuckleheads who will defend a particular 'popular' FPS game like COD or BF.

[eager spire]

To be frank, those people don't matter.

[naive ember]

The CoD feels like a normal fps community unlike this one

[eager spire]

how so

[brittle wind]

BF feels like a normal fps game unlike CoD

[naive ember]

You actually have dudes talking on the mic and working together to win the match unlike in BF

[vocal tusk]

Maybe the odd time in WZ, but in classic MP you dont

[eager spire]

I'm highly skeptical.

[vocal tusk]

WZ I did see more chatter, at least back when I played it. Ive not played the last 2 versions of it tho, since it went from BR looter shooter to a game thats essentially large map TDM

[eager spire]

Warzone kind of bugs me, cause the way most people play it, they just skip the looting entirely.

[hollow lodge]

u can still win in BF without mic 😂

[eager spire]

They just go into a building, get a couple thousand bucks, call in a loadout drop and then equip the meta weapon within a few minutes.

Warzone was more interesting when that wasn't really a thing.

[vocal tusk]

There is no need to loot, just get your loadout and get kills. Loot the other players to get what you need. JackFrags latest video (Like him or hate him) on the state of WZ is basically why I stopped playing it years ago. ITs now a bloated mess of a game, thats not actually a BR. Its just a TDM on a large map

Some of the stuff he talks about with map design and traversal also makes me hope the next BF game doesnt form a reliance on ziplines and fast traversal methods to assist player movement.

[brittle wind]

BF BR should have tanks and helis

And destruction

I don't care about BR modes at all but it would easily distinguish BF from other BR games

[vocal tusk]

Firestorm : Not abandoned at launch edition

[eager spire]

I don't care about a battlefield BR.

[vocal tusk]

It also needs its own dedicated map, not support on all base game maps as 2042 HZ was

[eager spire]

at this point i need to be convinced they can actually make a decent multiplayer experience.

Not even fucking around with anything else.

Just basic multiplayer.

[vocal tusk]

I think they are capable, the direction seems good. the trust needs to be earned again tho. Mine from the days of BF4/1 is long gone

[eager spire]

I am not so easily convinced.

We barely know anything about the direction, actually.

[vocal tusk]

Im not convinced of anything, but I choose to listen to the information given, and judge it objectively.

[eager spire]

We just know some basic bullet points and to be frank for all i know they could've just looked at reddit and decided to post that just to make people happy.

[vocal tusk]

Direction being:

• 64 Player
• Modern Era
• No specialists/classic classes
• Dense detailed maps

Outside of this there is much more to learn, but there are at least no red flags.

[eager spire]

If you ignore statements from former DICE devs.

[vocal tusk]

That thread from the former dev doesnt really tell me much about the next game, just gives me info on how things got to the stage the studio was in pre and post 2042.

[eager spire]

To be frank i'm not sure we read the same thread if that's the case, it says a lot about the next game purely from talking about who's working on it (Nobody who made the previous games) and who's leading the production (people who are focused on profitability).

[vocal tusk]

A game wanting to be profiteable? No!!!?

[brittle wind]

Yearly releases plan with CoD-like skins is a huge redflag for me, I don't want to see Nicki Minaj while playing BF

[eager spire]

Especially considering I would not put it past EA/DICE to start doing shit with generative AI.

[vocal tusk]

I dont think you need a team of seasoned veterans to make a good Battlefield game also (Not that it doesnt help). I know a lot of talented people who worked on this game. Obviously its not been the best game, but IMO they did a good job turning the mess at launch, into a mostly good experience (Gameplay/maps wise)

Maps of course could have been better, which is one of if not the most important thing in a BF game...but when you are stuck between a rock and a hard place, with limited time to make/remake maps having to use a strict budget(Assets/engine wise), and make it work on last/current gen...they did a serviceable job.

the yearly plan thing was abandoned according to that ex-dev (If they are even an ex dev).

[brittle wind]

I trust 2042 devs more than I trust ex-CoD devs

[vocal tusk]

They said plans were changed, and as a result ridgeline closed.

[eager spire]

we're assuming the people working on the next game are even the same ones that worked on 2042, and i am not going to give them credit for releasing a FPS game with mouse input that doesn't function properly, only to just never fix it.

I'm sorry, there's a hard line in the sand when it comes to quality and i think "does the game have functional input" is a reasonable place to draw that line.

If it fails that, it should've been scrapped.

[limpid pond]

There's still mouse input delay in 2042?.

[vocal tusk]

Well I know a handful of devs who were moved onto the next BF game long ago. So its my assumption that its the same team, but expanded upon with members from other teams added (Criterion, motive, Devs brought over from ridgeline, ETC)

[eager spire]

The mouse input issues are engine level. They never fixed them.

[limpid pond]

Yeah but is it based around the tech you're running be because my mouse feels fins

Fine

[eager spire]

still, confirmed by the developers.

[brittle wind]

I had that issue like thrice in my playtime, it still exists

[eager spire]

It's a thing.

[limpid pond]

What mice do yall use?

[vocal tusk]

Input jankiness is more noticeable at and below 60 FPS. It is a thing, but im not terrible prone to noticing it TBH.

[brittle wind]

2 of them happened while I was grinding against bots though, I was using MP9

1 of them happened in MP

[vocal tusk]

Bot matches, at least within solo and coop are essenatially not the same game as the core MP experience.

[brittle wind]

I unloaded a whole mag of deagle to an enemy with no hits

[eager spire]

The mouse i use does not matter when the issue is in the game engine itself, Dread.

[brittle wind]

Deagle thing was in MP though

[limpid pond]

Oh got it. I play the game at 244 fps. Also the bot matches I understand. They just made bot matches operate at a slower speed

[chilly jacinth]

That's possibly the spread

[brittle wind]

Nah

He was at point blank range

[vocal tusk]

Solo and Coop feels like playing on a PS4 at high FPS

[limpid pond]

I get that but having a bluetooth mouse most definitely can't help. I use a logitech pro lightspeed but I keep my cord attached to it

[brittle wind]

Deagle barely has any recoil too despite abysmal visual recoil, and I reset my shots haflway through, I should've killed that guy

[chilly jacinth]

Wireless mice aren't bad now

[eager spire]

If wireless mice were a problem i feel like 90% of the competitive PC space wouldn't be using them now.

[limpid pond]

They're great actually and I prefer them now. Bluetooth tech has gotten way better but that response time from wired is better imo

[limpid pond]

I'm talking about in bf. I imagine the server issues are further an issue with wireless

[eager spire]

Anyway, as I was saying, there's a line in the sand in terms of quality. I think "Does input in the game function properly" is a reasonable place to put that line. If the answer is no, it should've been scrapped.

Like, this isn't subjective. If the game does not handle inputs properly and you can't fix it, throw the game away.

[vocal tusk]

HOPEFULLY, the next game wont have this type of engine jank. They did their upgrades for the next game over 2 years ago now, so thats better than doing the upgrades as they were finalizing the current game, or in the same year as release.

[eager spire]

the fact you have to put Hopefully speaks volumes.

[limpid pond]

The new game i have hope for but it's all just hope until that beta drops

[vocal tusk]

Its all hopeful, as the last 2 games have not been a great/consistent experience.

[chilly jacinth]

I just somehow got the OG origin launcher to pop up when launching 2042

[vocal tusk]

BFV could have been a lot better than it was, if it were not for the constant gameplay changes/meddling. I quite liked the game we got at release, but the game as it is not barely resembles that (Gameplay/feeling wise)

[eager spire]

BFV's problem was changing things that didn't need to be changed. Same with BF1, but BFV went further with it.

DICE make good decisions at times and then forget they made them in an attempt to reinvent the wheel.

[vocal tusk]

There was a lot I liked about BFV. Personal med pouches, resupply stations, supply stations for vehicles, the way vehicles self repaired, ETC. Lots of really nice maps also, especially in the launch game.

Id still love for stuff like that to return, as well as vehicle classes. Like having internal(Self repair)/external vehicle repairs require you to have a repair tool in your equipment

[eager spire]

I can't recall a single person looking at spread and then wishing that that was the recoil of the gun.

But they chose to do that anyway.

[limpid pond]

Rip would've been cool to see. I suck at flying but would have been dope to see someone use it and hear that minimum

Minigun

[mental delta]

Brrrrrrrrrrr brrrrrrrrrr

[brittle wind]

Personal med pouches would've been good if medic didn't had unlimited self healing

2042 fixes that for better or worse

Assault finally feels like assault due to armor and med pens

Resupply stations is a neat idea but I would rather want them to take ammo/health from support players with pressing E on them

Many support players aren't doing their jobs lol

[limpid pond]

I feel like unlimited self healing makes sense though. If you're a good medic you tend to smoke areas and revive the most amount of people while being shot at. You can comfortably heal someone knowing your chances of dying are low

But I agree it makes non support players just spam medic.

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, but personal med pouches, combined with re-supply stations/the ability to take one from a medic was nice. They were also availabe for all soldiers, not just medics

[brittle wind]

It led to medic being a better assault than assault 🤷

[barren forge]

Pls 🥲

[vocal tusk]

Time to go back to BF3 and medics being the assault class.

[next onyx]

Protect your team.

Set your shield up around corners and have teammates use your as cover.

And hit people who intentionally get close.

[naive ember]

Just sit in the corner and do nothing watch the real players fight

[chilly jacinth]

Im the only one who got double digit revs and i joined this game late

The support situation is dire

[brittle wind]

Use throwing knives

And AM40 or PBX or a shotgun

It's faster to throw throwing knives while holding your shield than to swap to a weapon, so they will work great when you are stuck in a location but can hit enemies, smoke grenades are also great because when they throw and incendiary you can extinguish it

And third person animation looks kinda buggy so they will think you still have your shield

[brittle wind]

I think 2042 has perfect balance, assault isn't medic but by far has the best survivability in 1v1 fights
Support handles ammo and health crates
Engineer is the best class against vehicles
Recon is the best class at spotting enemies or denying spotting

[next onyx]

I've had weird fun as dozer using him to protect teammates and pushing. His flak jacket being nice for random grenades.

[wooden mica]

Su 57 and f35 are so underpowered

[mental delta]

What's Conquest X2 please ?

[grave rivet]

I like Battlefield 2042.

[proud kindle]

anyone got the new background?

[vocal tusk]

IMO it was better for the team dynamics when assault was the medic. Splitting assault from medic just makes 2 roles into 1 kinda unnecessarily.

My preference, class wise has always been:

• Assault - Healing, reviving and pushing the front lines
• Support - Resupplying and reinforcing the team, demolitions capable
• Recon - Spotting and infiltration (Getting behind enemy lines)
• Engineer - Vehicle repair, armor re-enforcement and Anti-vehicle capable.

[torpid wadi]

I’ll admit I’ll miss being able to heal people and drop ammo simultaneously

[kindred flint]

but you can do that with falck

[vocal tusk]

The specialist system kinda makes support in 2042 too good. Tho im not against it being allowed in the next game. Falck in 2042 is a one person army when it comes to life duration and surviveability

Going back to a classic class system for the next game could mean less personal ability per soldier. So I guess its a matter of what do you cut/nerf.

My guess would be the hero abilities, which would mean that things like Falcks healing pistol would be gone. Which would make it so you cant carry both heals and ammo at the same time. Doing that removes ability but encourages specialization. Thats why id like for support to go back to being the re-enforcement/resupply class, with demolitions capabilities.

That way you dont make your "medic" class (Assault) have to choose how to help their team. They are the healer/frontlines soldier always. Seems like much more clearly defined roles to me at least.

[fast dirge]

20$ for yatagara prime ☠️

[brittle wind]

They should bring back BFV's subclass system and expand on it instead imo

[quartz vortex]

While the legacy class system encouraged specialization, it left solo players at a disadvantage. The current 2042 system affords us without a full squad to remain competitive

[vocal tusk]

Thats a bad thing

Solo one man armies in a franchise that used to greatly encourage teamplay. Its the reason why the combined arms feeling of 2042 is so crap. Solo players are so strong they are able to solo vehicles, or multiple vehicles

[kindred flint]

me still not beliving they got rid of "Press E to get ammo" from your teammate that wouldnt drop a supply crate

having shit like that in the game mitigates the pain of being a "solo" player

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, that was a feature that should return. Its a win win for all players

[kindred flint]

and you know... resupply stations at caps

[vocal tusk]

IMO, solo players should be disadvantaged tho(At least to the degree that they arent one soldier armies). BF used to operate on rock, paper, scissors balance. In 2042 everything is a rock

[kindred flint]

and bring back the resupply/repair stations for vehicles... its so dumb allowing them infinite ammo lol, just leads to massive steamrolling potential compared to having to actually be careful

[amber kelp]

bf isnt really that rock-paper-scissors.

[vocal tusk]

It used to be

[amber kelp]

nevermind the edit clarified more whata you meant

I also think the class limits let the devs make more interesting kit. Like in bf4 the engineer has by far the strongest combat gadgets, but also a very limited range exclusive weapon. Meanwhile in 2042 the rpgs had to be balanced with the idea that there was no weapon tradeoff

[vocal tusk]

Even BFV was more like this than 2042. I think in reality, that when they did the class system rework... the devs would have wanted to remove more of the weapon/gadget freedom thats was available in 2042 from launch. But chose not to as players who bought into the game for that reason weren't annoyed.

[amber kelp]

You can have some weapons be flat out better than others because the tradeoff is taken somewhere else, which enables more item variety

[amber kelp]

i dont think they had enough weapons to actually split them lmao

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, its another part of the puzzle, which isnt possible in 2042

When the class system was re-introduced, there was a good selection of weapons

At launch, no

[amber kelp]

iirc wasnt it still very lopsides to certain weapon types

[vocal tusk]

Its all kinda a madness tho. Cos had AOW and Portal been developed in a way that actually had all weapons equal, and with similar design/setup philosophies. They had more than enough of an arsenal of weapons.

Instead portals weapons werent all available across the board, and those they chose to port across had to essentially be remade

Hopefully thats something they dont do again. The concept of past eras against current is cool and all., but the fact that none of the weapons were made to work in all eras separately, requiring extensive reworking was probs a mistake.

[kindred flint]

thats still wild to me

they effectively had 2 different ... shooting models?

[vocal tusk]

Yes and no.

[kindred flint]

"so youd feel like you were playing the older games" uhh... i mean im playing 2042 just make everything with the 2042 system.. and its a reskin of the older game?

[vocal tusk]

All of the eras supported 2042 or non "Classic" balance/design...but older weapons, even modern ones didnt support certain attachments, and werent truely balanced against the weapons made for 2042 era

[limpid pond]

As someone who's a solo player. I rely strictly on gunskill and in game movememt mechanics along with terrain. I mainly play falck but I understand the greater numbers means more wins so I revive alot but in 2042 with how recon and engineer players basically don't move at all it's strictly assault and support. The one man army I find I had to adjust because there's been so many games where we don't win unless I run to the point and kill about 12 or so players so my team finally pushes

[kindred flint]

redacted is the absolute worst for that i throw smokes as falck... run through like into B... start cleaning up enemies, die... look around and realize no one else pushed

[limpid pond]

I love teamplay which is why if I play with a team we normally steamroll the lobby but the issue is there very little of that so one man armies come into play so much. You have recon people with snipers missing every shot so there no suppression or pressure on the enemy and engineer players just prone and try to spray people with a 4x on there lmg

[limpid pond]

Don't even get me started. I've recently t1'd the smoke grenade launcher because the two smokes I have wasn't enough

[kindred flint]

i couldnt do that... losing my ammo crate would make me feel naked

[limpid pond]

I either main munitions box or smoke grenade launcher

[echo yew]

armor plate

[limpid pond]

I find myself actually looking for ammo or swapping ammo types more often

[limpid pond]

Support brother not assault

[kindred flint]

dice needs to make an update if you spawn with an armor plate you instantly die

like the bf4 pistols servers that would kill you if you used anything other than a pistol

[hushed lark]

I think people try too hard to keep their weapon proficiency stat or whatever. I almost always play engineer but I rarely use an LMG

[kindred flint]

[echo yew]

I run ARs, SMG and DMR on assault class cuz why not lol

[kindred flint]

200 rounds....how can you not enjoy that?

[limpid pond]

I agree with this. I tend not to care much about deaths unless we have limited tickets. But I still believe to many peoppe don't play for the win

[kindred flint]

its hilarious though.. how easy it is to get kills at long range even with an lmg just tapping .. like compared to delta force which has recoil to the moon with them

[limpid pond]

The amount of people who are camping with a sniper saying to push while they're double negative is insane

[hushed lark]

I tried the LCMG but I think it might be bugged, I only get one AP grenade. AK5C gives me two and I just like it better. Or I take the NTW because it is pretty good against the ram and maybe wildcat/CAV

[kindred flint]

my nuclear plan of removing all bolt actions would work

[limpid pond]

Yeah which is one thing I don't understand. Bf recoil is so easy yet I see peoppe miss half magazines with it

[echo yew]

DF has it so lmgs have low recoil only when prone

[kindred flint]

bro even when i was prone with the bipod it was still stupid, in the alpha

[echo yew]

You will be boiled.

DICE, MAKE ALL BOLT ACTIONS 1 SHOT TO THE TORSO

[limpid pond]

Wait I fhough bf had low bloom when prone not recoil?

[kindred flint]

meanwhile videos of ARs full auto standing no recoil lasers

[echo yew]

Df = delta force

[limpid pond]

Oh I'm a stupid fuck my bad

[kindred flint]

i mean this method would actually make some people decent at being camping snipers cough because they are horrible otherwise

[echo yew]

Ok but actually increase the velocity of the ntw

[limpid pond]

Noooooooo

Ntw is way to easy

[kindred flint]

its a 20mm round, it cant fly fast

[echo yew]

It can tho

erm akshually its 50 bmg

[kindred flint]

im using dice logic

[echo yew]

Ok but actually is it 50 cal or 20mm

[hushed lark]

I kind of love the NTW, it's so much fun against the ram

[kindred flint]

(no the dev said its supposed to be the 20mm version )

[echo yew]

LMAO

ironsight ntw is fun as hell

[kindred flint]

dice once had the short barrel option "allows bullets to leave the gun faster allowing for a higher rof" as a description

[limpid pond]

The amount of times I've gotten pissed off at peoppe sniping and I jist pull out the ntw to run the lobby has been a fair amount. The gun being a 1 shot anywhere makes it good but faster bullet velo would make it broken

[kindred flint]

over 100m its not a 1 shot body?

[limpid pond]

I think the ntw is fairly balanced

[echo yew]

Yknow i think 1 chest shot snipers arent that terrible

[limpid pond]

I rush people with it. Bullet drop on it makes it pointless to use past 70m

[hushed lark]

those high power or anti vehicle rounds are so bad though

[limpid pond]

They're not but if they're fast they become bad

[echo yew]

but to prevent obnoxious quickscoping make it so you need a long barrel that increases ADS time

Cod ground war snipers are obnoxious cause they 1 shot anywhere in the torso + arms and have hitscan BV

[limpid pond]

I agree with this i can fuck peoppe up currently even with the ads speed being the way it is

[echo yew]

Like come on bro what do you mean, the m2010 and the mrad behave the exact same way

the fast sniper gets no 1 shot body

the slower sniper gets it

…without completely annihilating BV

[limpid pond]

Yeah unless it's the sws

Sws can still 1 shot body right?

If you're close enough

[echo yew]

under 10 m yes

Like the xce bar should NEVER 1 shot to the body

But the dxr and sws could without being OP

[limpid pond]

Is it 10? I thought with Highpower it's 40

I haven't used the sws in like a whole year

Been on that magnum kick

[echo yew]

xce gang

[limpid pond]

Xce is nice tho

I like the way it looks overall but I only snipe if the enemy team has good snipers

Because sniping on mnk in this game is so busted

[frozen loom]

Does it have 1-shot potential like the DXR?

[royal trail]

i got a new keyboard with socd and rappidtrigger and alot of other functions, are they bannable in bf2042?

[frozen loom]

[royal trail]

i wonder when the largescale community test that some posts claimed should take place early 2025 will happen

of bf 2025/bf6

[echo yew]

Frontlines is peak what

[quiet shell]

Bradley and BMP aren't that bad as it turns out. Not great anti-vehicle pieces but they can chew up infantry if used smartly

[vocal tusk]

Guessing they are better against vehicles with the warhead package upgrade

[quiet shell]

Probably

[modest hearth]

can someone tell me why i am having issues with ps5 version of battlefield 2042, i keep getting this error code 1250125

[naive ember]

We don't have issues on ps5 pal it's your connection

[queen bison]

Unable to load Persistence Data

powercycle restart your PS5

usually fixes that for me

oh wait 1250125
did you mean 125012S or is the last digit a 5?

[royal swan]

Not sure what the rest of the devs are doing but adding the 3rd equipment slot for every other vehicle would be better

[modest hearth]

Yes the unable to load persistence data error

[queen bison]

yeah just hard restarting your PS5 should fix it

[brittle wind]

Finally got Dozer T1, only 2 more assault specialists left to do

[oak sedge]

Why are the Light Armor Vehicles in the Heavy Armor category

[hearty kiln]

How are the "new" vehicles?

[oak sedge]

That sucks, who is gonna use a BMP or Bradley over a Tank?

It should be in the Light Armor category with the Wildcat

[hearty kiln]

Aren't they on the transport slot?

[oak sedge]

nope

They're on Heavy Armor

[hearty kiln]

Lolwat

[oak sedge]

with the tanks and RAM

[hearty kiln]

Bruh momento

[royal swan]

Tbh the ram lost its crown

The new vehicles are just way better version of the ram

Ram supremacy is over

[fickle wharf]

are you for real

what a joke

[royal swan]

Valid placement

They are powerful

Plus they no longer have the passenger seat

[hearty kiln]

Ah okay so they're just a squad vehicle now gotcha

[kindred flint]

ram was too op already

[vocal tusk]

Reducing the RAM speed would do a lot to balance it

Speed or maneuverability

[frozen loom]

I feel like I am the only one who can't snipe a passenger out of an aircraft.

[still gate]

why I don't have conquest 128 on xbox x?

I can play only 64

[vocal tusk]

Last gen doesnt have 128P modes. the console is too slow

[still gate]

but I have series x

[kindred flint]

did they remove the 128p mode again?

[chilly jacinth]

It's still there

Dunno if you can install the last gen version of the game on xbox sx

[still gate]

I solved the problem. I had x one version installed😆

[kindred flint]

[hearty kiln]

Gonna try the new vehicles out tonight. Any recommendations for loadout?

[delicate fable]

itll be forever until you unlock the good bits

get and equip the guided missiles asap to take on any armor

i suspect the APFDS secondary rounds will be key, same with fast reload and/or improved warheads

[next onyx]

How's the TOW doing?

Is it good or still kinda bad

[minor jewel]

hi

is there a channel for 1

[kindred flint]

bf1? #battlefield-legacy-titles

[minor jewel]

yees

[vocal tusk]

20 minutes tops vs bots!

[shy oracle]

Hello. I'm looking to make/ join a group for bf2042. i have a low k/d but i ptfo like no other. would anyone be interested in squading up. i have no other friends who want to play the game

[dull path]

funny they added a new tank to bf2042

[kindred flint]

ayyy t1 lis... randomly

[stone cradle]

Now T1 Boris

[kindred flint]

[grim cloud]

Did anyone else earn the Draugr's Rise background after they changed the challenge requirements, only to have it disappear from the list of backgrounds?

[brittle wind]

Boris T1 is easy with a friend

I sadly don't have any friends to help me with that lol

[obtuse ingot]

Are there any Portal servers which are not Mastery Limited?

[brittle wind]

There is a Boris T1 server

It can be done in like 2 hours

[feral kettle]

Гугл переводчик

[naive ember]

[graceful badger]

Sup

[dull path]

am i the only one who thinks the first person view of the is a bit BMP-2 is buggish

[graceful badger]

Idk

[random loom]

hey i need some help my mic wont work and i cant hear my teammates speak

what am i supposed to do to make it work

[graceful badger]

2042 ain't got vc

[random loom]

vc with ur squad my teammates are literally talking to each other

[graceful badger]

In game chat

[random loom]

yh mine is not working for some reason

[graceful badger]

U sure ur playing 2042

Oh it does it's in audio settings

[random loom]

yh i have it enabled its not working

[graceful badger]

Idk

[scarlet sierra]

can the next battlefield instead be battlefield 2142 because i would really like to see where they go with the whole railgun tech.

[uneven imp]

I have it

[halcyon schooner]

I'd be willing to join you. I'm somewhat new to the game and am not very good but try to play the objective

[shy oracle]

send me pm lets link up

[carmine cliff]

I think the new vehicles are too weak and should be incorporated into Armored Transports with the seats back to 6.

[nimble arch]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/1i6nim7/it_was_easier_to_get_2_tanks_that_no_one_will_use/

Yall look at this clown

[eager spire]

nah

[small tartan]

Does the LAV not fill the same role? Like, the only difference is LAV25 is wheeled. They are both IFVs. I dont see why we need the LAV, especially when there's so few maps with enough water where the main iconic feature of the LAV would be used. Im fairly happy with both the new IFVs, love the glass cannon setup.

[upper lotus]

this game can be so damn draining and hard at times but hit my best at 41 kills online in portal

[quiet shell]

God DICE butchered the Lever action so badly it's such ass

Completely unusable

[next onyx]

It'd be really cool if you could just "eject" from a vehicle.

<10/15% health you'd be launched into the sky and the vehicle would self destruct.

[hushed lark]

so no one would ever get kills when fighting vehicles?

[thorny citrus]

does everyone talk through discord in this game ??? im new and never hear anyone talk ...

[hushed lark]

I think most people just don't talk. would explain why 90% of my squad never drops ammo, revives me or deploys near me

[next onyx]

Holy shit

First day back in months and I made so many people mad.

[eager spire]

local gamer pisses off the aussie population

[autumn locust]

haven’t played 2042 in couple months cause it’s poor gameplay and cod like features does anybody enjoy this game?

[grave rivet]

Yeah, I like it a lot.

[autumn locust]

would u prefer 2042 over bf5 or 1?

[grave rivet]

I haven’t played the last two, but I usually stick to the latest releases for CoD or Battlefield. Need for Speed’s an exception, Unbound’s good but I prefer Hot Pursuit Remastered.

[plush echo]

https://www.xbox.com/play/media/WaxDGYhdRS

When that first shot misses and they stay in the same location

[shy oracle]

Did servers just crash a few minutes ago?

[sterile canyon]

When battlefield try be cod community

[strange tiger]

i prefer bf5, If it's completed

Suppose they finish bf5 instead of rushing to 2042

🥹

[midnight mesa]

Only thing I find enjoyable in 2042 is the movement imo

[brittle wind]

I like how 2042 is a sandbox similar to BF3 or 4 unlike 1 or V

https://youtube.com/shorts/X7Apoxb-FCE?si=hpP02bmluzeJJF5j

[midnight mesa]

damn totally forgot about squid g

been so long since ive played

[next onyx]

ayoo

Big kill game.

[mossy badge]

i like your pronouns elden lord 😂 🔥

[mossy badge]

you would like if they copy paste this same movement system in BFVI ?

[brittle wind]

Is Frontlines better for Zain/Crawford grind than Close Quarters Conquest?

[next onyx]

I dunno

I just main Zain.

LOL

[brittle wind]

Oh I see lol

All enemies gathering in one place makes it easy for Zain grind imo

Crawford also works similar but you are stationary

[next onyx]

Zain was easy to get to tier 1.

His quick fix is why I play him.

[next onyx]

Ironically I haven't even gotten my engies to tier 1.

The challenges are super annoying, Lis is the closest but for the longest time C4 did the job.

[brittle wind]

I will just cheese all of them

Except Crawford

Crawford seems the easiest anyways

Boris and Lis can be done in few hours in a portal server with a friend

[next onyx]

Dozer is really nice for not dying to random stray explosives.

[brittle wind]

Irish is very useful for grenade spam

90% of the people don't run EMPs too

[next onyx]

I don't like mackay as much anymore.

Just feels off.

He's still really good but still.

[mental delta]

It'd be cool if next game had like no specialists at all lol

Because fuck specialists

[shy oracle]

comments deleted in 3 2 1....

dont get me wrong i agree. honestly game was ruined bc of specialists. just know from previous expiernce devs dont like their game being bashed

[mental delta]

They should just come back to classic specialization-less dudes

[next onyx]

I like their gameplay oppourtunities but they've be done really badly.

[brittle wind]

I will miss some of their abilities(sundance wingsuit) but yeah I think they should go back to a class based system

They can incorporate BFV's subclasses though, for getting different perks under the same class

Like one assault subclass having Zain's regenerative health and one engineer subclass having Lis' armor hunter trait

I dislike faster strafing speed being locked to one operator though, it should be an attachment for weapons instead

[mental delta]

Their customization is horrendous, I won't even talk about the "characters with particular faces and names" thing because the whole outfit customization to me is crazy bad

The system doesn't adapt on maps

Like you literally got specialists with no snow outfits or desert outfits

What's the whole point of customization ? Selling shitty skins ?

[shy oracle]

I think it would be cool if we just select the head gear, outfit, and camouflage pattern. But we can customize the colors

Like say you want blue digit camo for your character. Done

[naive ember]

That will destroy the purpose of bundles though, we all know how is

[queen prism]

I see some rumors EA wanna make from BF somehow cod ? Mby its just trolling but i will never forget they abadoned bf 5 coz i will love see good fps like bf from world war

[echo yew]

The fog is coming

[random loom]

question is it possible to get T1 on a vehicle in bot lobbies?

[echo yew]

No

[random loom]

damn whats the best way to get it then?

[echo yew]

Conquest and a lot of luck/skill

[random loom]

what if i get a car and start scanning ppl with casper’s drone well those assists count towards the vehicle mastery?

[echo yew]

No idea

[random loom]

ah ok

Battlefield Comms (@BattlefieldComm) ✧

Today we've been observing your feedback about the recently introduced BMP-2 & M3A3 Bradley and we've made some early balancing changes which are live right now on Battlefield 2042.

APFSDS-T Sabot Shells
▫️Max damage lowered from 28 to 25.
▫️Minimum damage is now lowered from 22 to 20.
▫️Rate of fire reduced from 150 to 140.

Main 20MM Cannon
▫️Rate of fire lowered from 200 to 185.

Frontlines Unlocked & Conquest Unlocked
Our aim with these two modes is to have the ability for you to get behind the seat of these two vehicles while you're assisting your team towards the win.

As such, we've disabled the choices within the Heavy Armor category to ensure these variations of the modes are available as created.

More changes on the way!
We are aware of other issues taking place with some of the recent additions, and we will be following up on them as we continue our investigations.

Keep your feedback rolling!

[spare quest]

your pc is just weak

[naive ember]

cod should do a rush xl

[quiet shell]

Its kinda funny that DICE kept Rush XL considering it's pretty obvious they've downgraded the servers

[kindred flint]

128p in an area designed for 32? who could have guessed it would be shit

[pearl ridge]

Used to be great for fucking enemy aircraft out of rocket barrages too

I mean, I get why they made it so the APS couldn't stop rockets

But it was still cool as hell to plonk down a pair of them and watch as that bastard fighter's rocket pods evaporated around me

[grave rivet]

Frontlines unlocked.

[naive ember]

They should lock it again

Was locked for a reason right

[delicate fable]

im crashing like crazy since the patch

especially around the bradley

[kindred flint]

bros bucket has overflowed

[stone cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/bffs-soldiers-chopper-gif-13800027

[kindred flint]

also what a hilarious bug where someone can soflam an air target and you launch a guided rocket from the bradley .. and flares cant stop it

[pearl ridge]

The description of the TOW missile says that it can't be diverted by countermeasures as it's manually guided

Maybe it's that, if those missiles are somehow locking onto SOFLAM

Also I looked at the equipment list for the IFVs and what the fuck that is way too much stuff

That stealth coating crap is just cheap

[fossil trench]

Why aren’t ribbons being counted in the new gamemode?

[mental delta]

https://tenor.com/view/south-park-cops-poo-gif-15984013

[kindred flint]

hot hot hot hot

[mental delta]

[naive ember]

Not everything is unlocked apparently

[brittle wind]

I've played Frontlines unlocked today and only destroyed like 4 or 5 vehicles but game gave me 9 progession for Lis' T1

Is there a bug like shooting the vehicle beforehand doubles the progression? I used DFR's AP rounds before destroying some of them.

[quiet shell]

Bro hasn't slept AT ALL

[tropic cliff]

So it's not just me then

[still vault]

assists count too

[frozen loom]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-fall-falling-litterbox-litter-box-gif-12362025003960216351

[naive ember]

So whatever happened to anticheat? Taking a break?

[dapper river]

🤫

don't tell DICE, they'll fix it!!

[brittle wind]

So is that true? It would make Lis grind whole lot bearable

Also AP rounds on DFR are like high power lol

Same bullet velocity, same TTK up to 100 meters

You also can do chip damage against vehicles

One of the few weapons that's worth using AP over high power(or use both and don't use subsonic)

[dapper river]

Oh wait a minute, Lis's progression is based off kills while vehicles destroyed. So it's not the destruction vehicle itself that progresses, but the kills on people who are in the vehicle at the time

[brittle wind]

I thought people were cheesing it with tuk tuk, so one person on enemy team was sitting on a tuk tuk and leaving it afterwards, then Lis was destroying it which was counting towards the progression

It would make the grind worse honestly if it's kill based

I mean it's easier for legit players but worse for people like me who wants to cheese it

[azure vortex]

What’s so special about lis? The launcher is almost useless, can see the missile 300m away

Doesn’t do much damage to vehicles

[eager spire]

why are you crying

[limpid pond]

Lads i broke my leg yesterday how's the update?

[placid echo]

Lis is easier to hit vehicles with and constantly regens her missiles

[azure vortex]

Yea but by the time lis regens her missles, the vehicles are back to full health

Very rarely the team actually works as a group and finishes off the vehicles

[mental delta]

Bro I got another one but it's 200% getting me banned so I'd rather not send it

[placid echo]

Her missiles are good against air vehicles if you got the skill to hit them

They do a little over 50 damage to the UH-60

[clear crater]

quick question, anyone else having an issue that you dont get any more ribbons to unlock the Bradley ?

[plush echo]

Takes long to find a game in redacted T^T

[brittle wind]

Free rockets + 3 C5s, easier to deal with anti air compared to others too. I'm just trying to get T1 for every specialist lol. Lis and Boris are the ones I need help with the most.

[cunning acorn]

Yo Falck is such a baddie bro

[olive stag]

Soflam lock on dont work again ?

[eager spire]

you got ignored in general, so you decided to broadcast this in this channel as well, huh.

[cunning acorn]

No @mighty holly told me I should use this channel to state my very true opinion

[eager spire]

ok

[naive ember]

Nah

[olive stag]

here after 2 sec it dissapear

engeneers cant shot

[kindred flint]

they probably turned off the soflam because the bradley guided missile was broken

[olive stag]

ok.

EA did it again 😂 messed something up

[kindred flint]

i mean you cant expect QC passes for a game thats on the back burner

[dull hawk]

I've been playing more recently to unlock the new tanks. I've never really noticed SBMM in 2042 until now. It feels very much like COD: do well or average for a game or two. Then get completely destroyed. Same cycle over and over.

Am I right?

[zealous loom]

The day EOMM gets implemented is the last day I play an EA game

I don't think its there, could be just low player count in your area or something giving you blowout games sometimes
