battlefield-2042

[vocal tusk]

This is what I hate about the BF community, everything is dead, or shit...even before anything is shown

[stone cradle]

[keen shale]

I hate brs with a passion.

Have never enjoyed the game style personally.

[vital quail]

I just think that it will be for a battle royale

[stone cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/drdisrespect-gif-7812898596112445944

[keen shale]

CLEARLY others do and that's all well and good, just not for me.

[vocal tusk]

Ive never seen a community, with as many people who seem to want the next game to be shit. Just so they can say "I told you so"

[kindred flint]

i dont want it to be

but i just have no expectations

[brittle wind]

People try to bring up Firestorm's failure but people fail to realize it was a paywalled BR. Blackout was also a failure on par with Firestorm. Warzone was a success because it was F2P. Apex and Warzone dying paves the way for BF BR to sweep in and take away all their players.

[keen shale]

I hope it's good, I can't say EA has exactly set an incredible track record.

[kindred flint]

i dont think a f2p firestorm would have really mattered long term

people dont play bf to play a br game, soon as warzone dropped they would have jumped to that

[stone cradle]

the doomerism on subreddits is wild. People willing to believe a random guy on bluesky because he said 'BF doomed lol'

[vital quail]

Do you think warzone would be the same if it didn't happen to start at the same time as the pandemic

[stone cradle]

I mean I get being skeptical but some people straight up wishing it flops

[kindred flint]

typical bluesky user tbh

[brittle wind]

Warzone audience isn't CoD audience either. BR players are usually seperate communities from base game players.

[kindred flint]

nah bro gaslighting me

[vocal tusk]

I really enjoyed Firestorm, it felt like Battlefield, but on a big map...and was essentially just Single elimination squad death match.

I dont know why or when Battle Royale became such an almost taboo word. Probably when devs moved from it being a game mode, to almost its own franchise.

[kindred flint]

i just think its incredibly played out as a concept

[brittle wind]

Warzone players only buys CoD to level up their weapons in MP before Warzone. They don't care about CoD MP besides that. That's why they are distinct communities, vastly different gameplay loop too.

[vocal tusk]

Its over hyped, but I dont think its played out.

[kindred flint]

pubg has been doing it forever, along with h1z1? then you get the fortnite massive success.. then warzone gets involved, apex at some point in there too after TF2 launched

then you get EA trying to jump on the train with firestorm->hazard storm

and like every game coming out these days is a tarkov clone extraction shooter BR

[vocal tusk]

Its just a different mode type...the same way Conquest or Breakthrough is. It just has a few different elements, like ground loot

Too many devs try to revolutionize what BR is, or over hype it. but in its barest form, its just squad deathmatch

[stone cradle]

Yeah they got the guy who headed WZ1 on the BF BR

seems like it's in good hands alteast

og WZ was nice and streamlined fun

[kindred flint]

imo battlefield is about the respawn mode, where as CoD/csgo have been doing single death elimination modes forever

so a massive map- "single death" system in BF is just ehhh...why

[brittle wind]

Yeah that's funny because people returned back to PUBG after WZ became ''TDM in big map''. PUBG still has the purest BR gameplay loop.

[stone cradle]

I mean BRs aren't even single death technically anymore

gulag from WZ and reboot cards from fortnite and all that

[vocal tusk]

People went back to PUBG because COD has ruined the downtime side of their BR, which is what many players enjoy.

[kindred flint]

true, but its not like BF where the entire match is someone respawning 39 times and that didnt count for the revives

[stone cradle]

just copy those and I'd be fine with it as long as gameplay isn't convoluted with like 250 shared guns

and like 6 different types of armour like it's some chinese gacha game with it's 5 different currencies designed to overwhelm you

[brittle wind]

BF BR should be it's seperate game imo if it becomes a success. WZ integration killed both CoD and Warzone.

[stone cradle]

csgo/cs2 is popular and loved because basically nothing changed for decades

[kindred flint]

does it got waifu though?

[stone cradle]

not enough, doesn't have my favourite ones

[vocal tusk]

COD used to be a relatively simple BR, but now its just over-bloated with features...because they need to integrate the latest games gimmicks into it. Games like PUBG are successful over a long time, because it sticks to its core, and improves upon it.

Omni-movement in WZ is actual trash, there are too many gadgets, too many ways to respawn and get loadouts, and its too easy to get around the maps quickly. The vehicles are also completely useless now.

[stone cradle]

yeah jack actually made a pretty good video on WZ a few days ago on why he hasn't touched the game for years, felt like the og critique type of videos he used to do years ago

https://youtu.be/vIb9uUl1-Zk

First video of his I watched from start to finish in a while

[kindred flint]

wasnt that the video i said next week he will be glazing it?

[keen shale]

People today need that omnimovement though, they're so stimmy and spaztic for the most part that they can't do anything without tac sprint slide cancel and dives.

[kindred flint]

truth

[stone cradle]

lmao, but he is right, he hasn't talked about the game for years

[kindred flint]

its that gfuel gameplay yo

[keen shale]

They have zero patience.

[vocal tusk]

the ability to move around fast has ruined the actual circle mechanics. You never need to loot, you dont need to move with the circle or even worry about it. Its just crap. All the fast movement features/gimmicks also ruin the combat, because its just constant 3rd partying.

[brittle wind]

Nah, omnimovement is the reason why CoD lost half of it's players since launch

[keen shale]

And they do all that for me to just shoot them in the head cause I aimed at the torso assuming one of those options would be used.

[brittle wind]

Even without SBMM it's just too sweaty for casual players.

[stone cradle]

I mean that's what sbmm does though, it protects them

[keen shale]

Oh I know, and the other half are addicted to it, or simply decided they want to embrace the limited number of games that get that feel nostalgic.

[stone cradle]

people get put into lobbies where people don't utilise omni much

[keen shale]

sbmm in cod goes off your last like 3-5 matches.

Which is wild...

[brittle wind]

It's actually slower than that

It takes a while to adjust itself

ExclusiveAce did lots of testing and when he requested his skill data he saw many intricasies of it

Like if you quit games your skill rating will plummet lol

Which will grant you easier lobbies

But when you start to play normally you will get normal matches in like 10 or so matches

[remote kiln]

hm, interesting, david sirland talked to enders live on stream

[stone cradle]

[brittle wind]

[vocal tusk]

No wonder you see streamers constantly say "My game is lagging, im gonna quit to see if it fixes it" 😛

[stone cradle]

Enders redemption arc and getting unbanned?

[brittle wind]

Isn't Sirland one of the lead devs on BF6 right now?

[remote kiln]

yes

[brittle wind]

I want to watch that stream now

[remote kiln]

the lead producer

[stone cradle]

will people now accuse enders of being bought out by EA or something lmao

"you betrayed us nooo!"

[kindred flint]

his chat reaction when he comes back with a mild tan

[stone cradle]

[kindred flint]

👻

hes the brightest part in his room, not even the light is that bright

[abstract night]

I never really knew much about Enders takes on BF games so idk if it’s a bad thing or not

I just know he’s pretty controversial in the community for many good reasons

[brittle wind]

Most of the things he wants from BF are what 90% of the players wants

He wants next BF to be BF4.5 basically

[abstract night]

Bet. I can agree with that

[stone cradle]

Enders has had plenty of valid criticism and good takes, it's just the way he goes about it that is frowned upon and sort of makes him controversial

[abstract night]

I even remember some of his activities in here a couple years ago so that’s fair enough

[next onyx]

For enders to feel good for battlefield means a lot considering how extreme he is at moments.

Yeah

[abstract night]

I’m still kinda upset that dice is trying a battle royale again

I’m concerned that it will take content and time away from core game modes

[next onyx]

Yeah

All i heard was that they didn't like the direct attack on Alex.

Enders wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the abuse he hurled.

I've criticised Alex plenty in my dms with him.

I've just learned how to talk without being an ass.

[abstract night]

Yeah and then it’ll just be a bunch of time and money spent on nothing. BR as a market is too oversaturated and I don’t see what Battlefield would bring to it to make it engaging. Idk if streamers would like dying to a heli in the middle of a gunfight after looting for 10 mins

I played with Enders once on that 2042 season 4 map

I forgot if it was 64 or 128p breakthrough but I played that match and next thing I knew he was in my squad

[kindred flint]

did you get 2nd hand sweat?

[abstract night]

Absolutely dude

[kindred flint]

ive seen him on my team and enemies... and even seen him rage quit the match because of his teammates

[abstract night]

[stone cradle]

well, worse case scenario it flops and they fully focus on Core MP again

[naive ember]

He's a lobby surfer and his main gun is the pp29 he's also a stat padder

[brittle wind]

People said the same thing about hero shooters until marvel rivals.

[abstract night]

I can’t comment on marvel rivals (I never played it) but what would Battlefield bring to create a unique, engaging BR?

[brittle wind]

Destruction, back 2 basics BR approach, vehicles.

[abstract night]

This is how I wish they would’ve done it, just streamline content around their core modes and design instead of trying to branch out to oversaturated markets that don’t fit bf gameplay

[kindred flint]

they could have a bitchin pay store

[brittle wind]

BF gameplay fits more to BR than CoD ever did 🤷

[abstract night]

In all fairness war zone is a hegemon

[next onyx]

They did it in firestorm pretty well.

[brittle wind]

I'm not a dev honestly so I dunno how they will handle that

Not tanks or helis afaik

[next onyx]

Co operative tanks and an abundance of rocket launchers.

[abstract night]

Battlefield has always been “secondary” to CoD in terms of player count and community. It dealt some good blows with BF4 and 1 to CoD but CoD is a whole nother level and I can see why warzone is so appealing

[next onyx]

Was really interesting too as they were completely different tanks internally.

[brittle wind]

WZ played nothing like CoD, Firestorm plays like BF in a bigger map according to people who played it

[stone cradle]

it also kind of helps that their current only BR is declining

apex

[next onyx]

Panzer iv solarsis and shit.

[brittle wind]

They even went to a projectile based approach after WZ in CoD. CoD used to have hitscan weapons before WZ. Now they use a hybrid system.

[stone cradle]

Let me get the article, game has lost alot of players

https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2025/01/23/apex-legends-lost-70-of-its-steam-players-in-2024/

oh I thought the source was the investor call

[brittle wind]

Steamcharts will reflect the performance on other platforms too

[stone cradle]

oh they imply that the new battle pass system was received badly in the call

"“Following changes to the battle pass construct, we did not see the lift in monetization we had expected."

[royal schooner]

As a sniper what class to play as and what to equip to deal with tanks at long distances? Choppers and vehicles you can shoot the pilot/driver but how to deal with tanks

[abstract night]

Why would a sniper ever be able to deal with tanks at long distances?

[brittle wind]

Use sniper as Lis Or NWT which deals armor piercing damage, or use SOFLAM to help engineers.

[royal schooner]

But no else deals with them and tanks are what I keep dying to

[brittle wind]

Then switch to engineer

[abstract night]

Wait you’re dying to tanks as a sniper?

[royal schooner]

And..?

[brittle wind]

Send rockets at them

[royal schooner]

Yes. They rocket me down

[abstract night]

I see

[royal schooner]

Do I use the recoilless M5?

[brittle wind]

Lis' TV missile is best imo

Or RPG

I never see anyone use recoilless M5

Just RPG or other lock on/manual launchers

[royal schooner]

Lis doesn't have TV?

[brittle wind]

It's her special ability

[royal schooner]

Oh okay

[royal schooner]

I'm still low XP so that's what I have unlocked

[brittle wind]

I see

Use TV missile then

Lis is the best engineer imo due to 3 C5s and 2 rockets, Crawford can have 4 rockets but I think it's better to have 2 regenerating rockets and C5, C5 is just more powerful lol

[kindred flint]

i just run mines

so then i can throw them at vehicles and get ran over and watch them not go off

[brittle wind]

Mines could be fun in trolling Just throw mines in front of an empty vehicle and get a free kill

My favorite trolling technique is EOD bot though lol, when it's successful

[royal schooner]

When i use her ability, it's called TGM G-84. I shoot at a chopper, it freezes my screen and doesn't hit anything. I can see in my minimap something moving

Is it something I can control

My screen locks at my foot everytime I shoot

Then unlocks after a few seconds

Doesn't hit anything

[royal schooner]

Nevermind looks like it's a common thing that's happening from past 2 years and not yet fixed

[kindred flint]

smol indie dev team

[restive plaza]

Is bf2042 down?

[echo yew]

Well i mean it’s most likely a skeleton crew by this point

[restive plaza]

I keep getting the unable to connect to ea servers error

[naive ember]

[quiet shell]

David Sirland's been active on Twitter

Think we might get a huge info dump on the next battlefield soon

He even said "It's that time in gamedev production again"

[stone cradle]

maybe an announcement of a CTE or any sort of open playtest

[quiet shell]

That is what we're expecting from Q1 this year

[rocky gust]

Would love to see that but this is modern DICE so Im sure they’ll find a way to screw something up

[dusky blade]

When’s the next update for the game

Hopefully soon

[frozen hollow]

More hardcore 👍

[pearl ridge]

DICE
Playtesting

Not anymore.

[stone cradle]

that's literally what they stated in a recent interview though

[fickle wharf]

open playtest
lol

[still vault]

Every FPS game does playtesting. Don't be absurd.
Now, they might not be doing playtesting in a way you like, or which produces results you like, but that is a different thing.

[north kettle]

hey, new here. is there a channel to find people to play with?

[still vault]

There are looking for group channels

[north kettle]

missed them. thanks

[frozen loom]

[frank stratus]

[naive ember]

Facts

Not anymore

[frozen loom]

I want every hit to a vehicle to vibrate the passengers' screens violently.

That would balance the game.

[still vault]

Balance what? Passengers somehow being overpowered?

[frozen loom]

Balance the fact that launchers are slow and SOFLAMs are useless after the notification system update.

Make their screens shake violently for 3 seconds per hit.

[next onyx]

Gunners just make tanks and all more annoying to deal with.

The singular dude and his hmg is fine. Though having dumb shit like a mortar pod needs to not make a come back.

[still vault]

I do like suppresion mechanice unlike most of the community. They really don't like when you mess with their screen or even worse, their aim.

I do think the otherwise useless LMGs could benefit from having a larger effect on vehicles.

But to what degree, if any, it should effect the screen of passengers would need to be playtested I think.

[next onyx]

I'd be up for incendiary grenades blinding gunners / thermal sights.

Suppression really should just reduce your FOV with a ring telling you how suppressed/ stressed you are.

[frozen loom]

I'd be down for the passengers to get a flashbang to their screens for every life they take.

[worthy schooner]

what is a good smg? i like the pbx but my friends say it’s a trash gun

[next onyx]

Pbx is good

Close combat rounds you're set.

[naive ember]

PP-29 ez kills

I try not to use it unless the enemy sweats do

[spark mason]

I am new to the series
What game should i be playing right now?

[silent cradle]

is battlefield down ?

[worthy schooner]

why close combat over high power or standard?

[next onyx]

Better ttk.

[vital moth]

SAME

[naive ember]

BF1 cause it's the prequel

[vital moth]

ofc it happens when i get on

[brittle wind]

I like PBX and K30. I think PBX the best SMG. PP never clicked with me.

High power isn't worth it in SMGs. It's good for LMGs and few ARs though.

[lethal jay]

Yo, servers down? Cant connect in-game.

[chilly birch]

Thinking the same. Also can't connect

[quaint island]

For me the same

So prob a server issue

[chilly birch]

For a moment I thought I forgot to renew my ps plus 😅

[lethal jay]

first time in 2 weeks im able to get some gametime while my newborn sleeps and the wife is away, and the servers go down... fml

[full nova]

same for me

[brittle wind]

Try them on PS+

I like V the most among modern BF games

[chilly birch]

2042 first battlefield game for me

[patent pivot]

Not good...

[brittle wind]

It's all uphill from there though

[lethal jay]

So

were can one see when the servers are up again?

Since the EA website show the server as online im quite curious...

[chilly birch]

People probably say it here or something

[hollow lodge]

am getting error 1 86001S starting battlefield 2042

what

[lethal jay]

Game is down

[heady sparrow]

Servers are down

For all battlefield titles

[hollow lodge]

oh okay i see

[lethal jay]

Servers kaput, big kurwa problem

[hollow lodge]

looks like a DDOS from call of duty

[heady sparrow]

Bf1 bf4 bf5 bf2042 all servers are down which is weird since it never happens on all titles only on one game

[heady sparrow]

Nah just ea beeing ea

In a few hours they will be back

[hollow lodge]

thats why am telling you its a DDOS lol

[brittle wind]

Is it because of CTE? 👀

[potent marlin]

joever

[heady sparrow]

True lmao

[brittle wind]

All games being down leads me to think they are adding next game's CTE to servers 🤓

[heady sparrow]

But stilll its happens yearly once or twice a year

[heady sparrow]

Likely

As i said on another chat theu might be testing something for bf6

Or bf6 is jsut gonna have a lot of server drops so they are testing our patience from now

[still vault]

That just seems very unlikely. Testing on a Sunday for a company like EA makes no sense.

Also, testing runs on its own infrastructure for sure

Just go for the simplest most likely reason, the servers just happen to have gone down, https://downdetector.com/status/battlefield/

[heady sparrow]

Im not serious

Im just goofing around with the situation

[hollow lodge]

hope so

[odd imp]

erorr?

error?

[lethal jay]

servers down

[hollow lodge]

your bio bro is a 💯 😅

[tulip lance]

any one knows when will servers be back?

[heady sparrow]

Few hours likely

[odd imp]

thanks

[hollow lodge]

u welcome

[icy hawk]

can't believe it, haven't played bf4 for like 2 years. I came back today and server are downs

[marsh raptor]

[hollow lodge]

[light moat]

[plush echo]

[marsh raptor]

yh but confusing lol

[hollow lodge]

call 911 and refund the game

[marsh raptor]

ok will do

[olive stag]

dont think you can refund it ,u just own the licence

[plush echo]

If you paid full price it’s wild ngl but on a discount it’s not too bad

[marsh raptor]

i payed full price💀

kinda regret

[plush echo]

Bro got scammed

[marsh raptor]

fr

damn

[plush echo]

You don’t need to pay full price

[marsh raptor]

were

[plush echo]

Some resellers

Well fortunately for me I get to play practically for free on my Xbox

[upper jetty]

Why battlefield 2042 error? Or EA down?

[vital moth]

ITS BEEN 1 HOUR WHAT ARE THEY DOING

[plush echo]

Yes

[vital moth]

https://downdetector.com/status/battlefield/

[upper jetty]

Okay

[hollow lodge]

damn i bought the game for 4.5 dollars lol

[marsh raptor]

lucky u

[subtle star]

seems like it might be more than just BF servers down, a lot of EA down

[marsh raptor]

i payed 60 bucks

💀

[subtle star]

for bf?

[marsh raptor]

yh

[plush echo]

You can get a refund anyway

[subtle star]

its on cd keys for 10

[plush echo]

That’s what I told him

[hollow lodge]

just buy EA games on sale only.. they go very cheap.. Major sales 6 times a years

[subtle star]

ouch

[hollow lodge]

And buy it directly from EA app

[subtle star]

cd keys is the first place i go for older games i want to have a look at. 60 bucks for a 4 year old game is nuts

[marsh raptor]

idc to be honest

[kindred flint]

prayge the cd key buyers get banned

[placid geode]

I wish Bf:hardline has more players, Bank job was favorite map

[subtle star]

fair enough

[subtle star]

i loved hardline

[hollow lodge]

bf hardline is still active

[marsh raptor]

My birthday was 3 days ago so used that money tbh

[vocal tusk]

Theres about 15 people playing hardline on pc

[plush echo]

Well in any case the game is somewhat immersive so you can have fun with it despite the comments on it

[marsh raptor]

r the coments bad?

[subtle star]

nothing worse than getting a game for bday and the servers going down

[marsh raptor]

frrrr

[hollow lodge]

bf hardline have an active server on pc everyday

[subtle star]

it got a lot of flack at launch, people just didn't into it and there was a lot to fix. its all good now though in my opinion

[subtle star]

let me go join the 15 people xD

[marsh raptor]

ohhh ok good😅

[hollow lodge]

why laughing am serious, they even have a discord server

[plush echo]

Well these days it’s mixed leaning positive but early release it was chaotically bad

[hollow lodge]

in the knight they r like 40

[subtle star]

thats EA launch days for you

[light moat]

only thing i hate with the game is the loadouts, im old though 🤣

[subtle star]

i dont love it enough to go back all these years later

[marsh raptor]

yh i mean i get it not anything official in the game at the start

[subtle star]

whats up with the loadouts?

[plush echo]

I kinda wish the classes were still there but the specialists weren’t bound by class. Just pure cosmetic would’ve been fine

[urban sky]

We talking about 2042 or Hardline?

[plush echo]

2042

[marsh raptor]

tbh idk what tf u just said

[light moat]

like i say haha im old ish, i love the old days of a gun is what it is, dont like i can change scopes and ammo etc in a game

[hollow lodge]

i got you, but if you like to get back in like i do we just have the chance to join

[plush echo]

Normal. You haven’t played a single minute

[marsh raptor]

yh

[urban sky]

IMO the game being good now doesn't matter. It shouldn't have released in the state that it did

[hollow lodge]

is bf still down?

[subtle star]

oh modifying your guns, i get you

[marsh raptor]

i need a guidance throught the game soon prob

[sand bluff]

yep

[still vault]

https://downdetector.com/status/battlefield/

[plush echo]

Of course. It was its own demise. Quite a shame tho I kinda like the atmosphere of 2042, wish it was a bit less cartoony tho

[tropic cliff]

and then people slammed the specialist inclusion

[subtle star]

most games these days. Gone are the days of a PS2 game being released and just worked. Couldn't fix there bugs with a quick update back then

[tropic cliff]

I thought it was interesting

[fluid hatch]

hello

[boreal haven]

Uh servers down??

[plush echo]

Just play against bots to get a feel for it and then hop in a match easiest way to learn to play anyway

[urban sky]

The franchise is doomed if the next BF releases like 2042 did

[still vault]

People have said that for the last 4 releases

[marsh raptor]

not that. The menu

[still vault]

if not them all

[subtle star]

welcome to the waiting room xD

Don’t overthink it you’ll figure it out

[subtle star]

cheers for the invite but i am just going to stick to the latest bf

[urban sky]

Source: Trust me bro 😉

[hollow lodge]

👌💯

[sand bluff]

when do you think they will be back?😢

[tropic cliff]

Tomorrow

[placid geode]

can you send me that discord server?

[tropic cliff]

Uhh yeah tomorrow

[sand bluff]

bra

[still vault]

Depends on what is wrong. Could be hours or a few minutes.

[tropic cliff]

And 2042 being online only doesn't make the situation any better

[mighty holly]

https://tenor.com/view/later-spongebob-time-after-a-long-time-gif-16251057

[subtle star]

I would play something else and come back in a while. Currently on roller coaster tycoon 2 😁

[hollow lodge]

i send it to you did you receive a msg?

[tropic cliff]

"a few inches later" 💀

[mighty holly]

didn’t notice that part

Tho not sure if that was real or not but seems real

[little tundra]

wow I have 2042

[still vault]

fun fact, Battlefield was born as a multiplayer game, (not counting bots) single player campaigns first came later in the series

[little tundra]

Code Error 1: 86001S: 89001S: 9C: -1356165584O

[astral zinc]

bet at 6pm CET it will be up

[arctic grove]

is bfV working for asia servers?

[subtle star]

did it start with bf3?

[nimble arch]

Y’all I keep on getting an undefined error when I try to start

[still vault]

If we ignore Bad Company, which we have to because it's console only, I guess Bad Copany 2 would be the first

[nimble arch]

[marsh raptor]

yh the game is down

[subtle star]

join the waiting room while the servers are down

[nimble arch]

Ohhh mb then

[marsh raptor]

np

[subtle star]

oh yeah, forgot bad company

[green jacinth]

So its not just me cool!

[rugged storm]

Oh, I was just about to post about the same thing... Exactly the same error as @little tundra here too.

I got this error today, never had it before

[marsh raptor]

servers down.

[little tundra]

really?

[marsh raptor]

yh

rlly

[marsh raptor]

just got the game too

[little tundra]

Was this notified anywhere?

[marsh raptor]

i dont think so

[little tundra]

a

I’m checked now in down detector

servers died

I just cleared the cache in EA app and checked the game files and it turns out the problem is on the server side

[brittle wind]

It's like 5 bucks on steam sales

[still creek]

Servers are back online? Troubles here in austria 🇦🇹 too, cant login to EA-Servers.

[marsh raptor]

were do i see that?

[little tundra]

No

[brittle wind]

https://steamdb.info/app/1517290/

Price history, just get a refund lol

It's not worth 60 dollars, it's worth 5-10 dollars

[marsh raptor]

were do i see when the deal is back?

[brittle wind]

Add it to your wishlist

They are always on sale at least like once a month

Next sale will happen in February 4 I bet

After EA investor's call

[marsh raptor]

I get that but I wanna play it now

[brittle wind]

It's not worth getting it for 60 dollars though, not like you can play rn because servers are down lol

[keen shale]

Ea play is probably the better deal till on sale.

[brittle wind]

Or get a key from key sites

[keen shale]

Yea if you're comfortable with that.

[brittle wind]

You can spend rest of the 50 dollars on better games

[marsh raptor]

ok

[limpid pond]

Next steam sale is march

The game will be 5$ then

[marsh raptor]

were do u see that?

[limpid pond]

On steams sale event page

[hollow lodge]

[glass pine]

Facts

[limpid pond]

Another thing you can do if you want. Buy ea play membership for 5.99$ usd per month and play 2042 for free technically

[glass pine]

Been off for 2 hours already

An undefined error occurred

It's all I found on the issue

Don't know if it will help

[rugged storm]

Totally different error number.

[hollow lodge]

that's steamdb website.. EA Games go on sale in EA App as well at the same time, and its even cheaper.. say the game on steam sale is 5 Dollars in EA App you will find the game at 3.5 Bucks only 💯

[vocal tusk]

EA services are down for all games. Pinging people here isnt going to achieve anything but getting yourself muted/banned

[glass pine]

Okay any fix soon?

[limpid pond]

That's all there is for it. Sorry big dawg

[glass pine]

Eta wen

[kindred flint]

also peter isnt even in charge of this place

[glass pine]

Peter not Parker

[limpid pond]

No idea brother. Sorry

Never had that error

[rugged storm]

If that happens then there was no point me being here in the first place. I joined for the community, if this isn't that then I'll happily give it a miss. 🤷

[limpid pond]

When did it pop up

[vocal tusk]

Leave then

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[limpid pond]

Gotta leave brother sorry

IS THIS REAL

[limpid pond]

That's such comedic timing

[marsh raptor]

fr

[marsh raptor]

yes

[glass pine]

HOW BROS KNOW WE TALKING SHIT

[kindred flint]

"Ill give it a miss" imagine talking like that

[glass pine]

[limpid pond]

It's a bot. They probably literally just posted it due to high traffic

[viscid bone]

Calling me a bot, wat?

[glass pine]

AT LEAST KNOW WE KNOW THAT THEY KNOW

🗣

[viscid bone]

😉

[limpid pond]

Yeah it literally just posted

[kindred flint]

Admins can control the bot 💀

[limpid pond]

NOOOO YOUR MAGESTY I'm so sorry

[dapper river]

No.... how'd they figure that out? We're doomed!

[kindred flint]

i mean ive known for years discord mods can do that

im not some peasant with poor technological understanding like the rest of you smh

[viscid bone]

I mean, it's literally me writing and posting lol.

But yes, we're aware and working on it 🙂

[marsh raptor]

W

[kindred flint]

can i request a refund on my time i wasnt going to spend on 2042 anyways during this outage?

[proven latch]

Okie

[limpid pond]

Maybe you're a bot. They did say androids were taking over in my recent conspiracy theory podcast

[kindred flint]

https://tenor.com/view/does-he-know-he-knows-the-riddler-riddler-paul-dano-gif-27011163

[solemn panther]

That's why you should have story in battlefield so your game will still worth something even when the servers are down

[mighty holly]

Will a 2042 story even be good

[limpid pond]

It'll be about oppression

[kindred flint]

ea doesnt want to pay for a feature barely anyone uses

[little geyser]

yea but if the game requires you to connect to even play, that wouldnt make a difference. I mean 2042 does have bots and we still have to connect to the servers

[mighty holly]

If anything I would rather have a 2142 campaign first than 2042 campaign

[limpid pond]

After all you don't even own your games

[mighty holly]

careful bmac

[kindred flint]

[limpid pond]

Ohhhh rip

Not saying that again

[mighty holly]

Lmao I knew it

[plush echo]

Not good for the no pats

[solemn panther]

You call unfinished game (live service game)

[limpid pond]

Hmmmmmm this seems like unique take

[kindred flint]

why bother finishing a game before launch?

[limpid pond]

Duh

[kindred flint]

everyone gets away with it these days

[mighty holly]

Which is cringe

[kindred flint]

just look at cp2077

[limpid pond]

Release then spend 3 years fixing

W

[hollow lodge]

i bet something going on with EA, i think they fkd up something and they don't know how to fix it xd

[solemn panther]

I only play for having fun
Recent battlefaileds
Doesn't include that

[plush echo]

It’s not that deep

[hollow lodge]

i hope so!!!

[mild rune]

is the bf2042 servers down?

[limpid pond]

Yes

[hollow lodge]

yes can't play

[naive ember]

They sure did look at Apex

[hollow lodge]

lol

[ivory mason]

ill just play phasmo while i wait

[limpid pond]

No phasmo

You gotta play tetris in this time of suffering

[plush echo]

Sounds productive

[limpid pond]

Well my legs broken I can't do much else sadly

[kindred flint]

skill issue

[limpid pond]

Yeah I tried to 1v1 a 16ft fall and lost

Bro started emoting on me

[kindred flint]

you ignored gravity

[plush echo]

Lost against nephilim

[kindred flint]

gravity is a law, you obey the law

[little geyser]

laws are meant to be broken

[limpid pond]

No technically the ladder I was on ignored gravity

just like rules

Bro must be a drywall installer

[brittle wind]

Embed fail

[limpid pond]

HAHAHAAH

Laugh at this guy

[kindred flint]

no but i could do it if needed

[limpid pond]

Yeah I've found drywall isn't to hard to install

Well it's no hard at all

But can be tricky for the roof

[wary chasm]

Hello! Does anyone have any info or tips on when the servers will be good?

[kindred flint]

theres this black guy in Australia who does drywall and its like... i hate you for those years of mudding skills you have

[little tundra]

By the way, the guys have a question, in the BF2042 they removed the damage to the damage how much did you apply to the enemy?

[limpid pond]

Damn is his work that crazy?

[tropic cliff]

the what?

[limpid pond]

They said servers are done they're ceasing support

Nah jk

Probably In a couple of hours they'll be fine

[limpid pond]

Can you please repeat your question

[wary chasm]

Thanks m8

[limpid pond]

No problem boss

[wary chasm]

Love yah

[mild rune]

when does the servers open up?

[little tundra]

Display how much damage did you put the enemy removed?

[limpid pond]

Probably in a few hours

[mild rune]

how long has it been down for?

[little tundra]

I can send you a screenshot in DM to understand what I mean

[limpid pond]

Probably an hour or two now

I don't know fully

[mild rune]

is it only 2042`?

[limpid pond]

Sounds good. Do that

[limpid pond]

No it's all titles

[ivory mason]

Ill get flamed for this but i have the most fun playing against bots😂

[mild rune]

..........

[little tundra]

Your DM is closed

[limpid pond]

In portal though right?

[little tundra]

Accept your friends

[ivory mason]

nah breakthrough . I like objective capturing . Wish i could defend tho

[languid vault]

I don't hate frontlines

[ivory mason]

what is portal?

[limpid pond]

Gotcha no hate here

[limpid pond]

Portal allows you to go into custom games and some people gave 4 players vs 64 bots games where it's just you and 3 other people fighting 64 bots on breakthrough

[ivory mason]

ohhhhh , im defo trying it out after tea

well when its back up

[exotic gate]

Hello World!!! I cant enter to the game. what happen

[marsh raptor]

servers = Down

[sonic stone]

Servers are down :<

[tropic cliff]

electronic atrocity

[vagrant heath]

When will it open?

[tropic cliff]

Not soon enough for some of us

[harsh birch]

This small community keeps Battlefield 2042 alive and does these things.

lol

[brittle wind]

It can be enabled in settings

[fast nimbus]

ah i see, i just joined, thinking it was just me who couldnt log in

[sonic stone]

Nah, we were gonna go do some close quarters cq and servers are down :<

[harsh birch]

ea its cooked

[fast nimbus]

for me it was that time of the year where i force myself to play BF after a long time and this happened

[plush echo]

Can we all agree that 2042 and bf4 have the hardest covers ?

[violet dove]

Servers down?

Website says everything is ok

[upper sedge]

I’m having the same issue

[violet dove]

Ok so twitter can be updated. But not the status website or their official discord support 🤣

[brittle wind]

My favorites are BF1 and BFV covers, BFV's year 2 cover with orange background though, I don't like regular covers that much

[violet dove]

Sunday servers down. Chances of playing today slim to none then.

[naive ember]

B06 time

[keen shale]

Did say they're working on it.

[buoyant sail]

Btw guys, is there any chance how you can actually create some squads through this server between gamers? (just joined)
Are you guys sometimes playing in groups? To make it more fun?

[solemn panther]

It's my day off work
My luck

[buoyant sail]

Same here haha, love BF2042 and here we go

[dusty wave]

ohh the servers r down

rip

[naive ember]

What if the servers never go back online?

[dusty wave]

I wouldn't be surprised

[buoyant girder]

i buy it like 2h ago

x§xDDD

[buoyant sail]

We gonna have to sue EA

[violet dove]

Then we all get saved the pain of ever having to play the game again.

[heady sparrow]

They will but the problem is likely big

[bitter mulch]

nope, BF BC2, BF3, BF4

[spiral valley]

What i hate most is the zero updates just an announcement saying servers are down. No shit Sherlock, tell us what happened and give us an estimation

[heady sparrow]

A server shut down hasn't taken that long like it took them at most 2 hours to get it fixed in the past

[buoyant sail]

Happened already? Some long period of a time?

[dusty wave]

"aN uNdEdIneD eRroR oCcuRreD"

[violet dove]

Anyone know if Hardline is working ... May download again.

[heady sparrow]

They have been shut for 4 hours +

[dusty wave]

like EA cmon

[plush echo]

Looks new ea intern messed things up

[heady sparrow]

Who knows but it is taking way too long to fix it and it happened on all titles

[buoyant sail]

Shiet

[spiral valley]

Am about to submit a job application just to get them back up and then quit

[dusty wave]

oh dear....

[dusty wave]

real

[heady sparrow]

Very real imma join you

[heady sparrow]

Yea it shouldn't have taken that long

[plush echo]

Someone sneezed and accidentally pressed the big red button so all servers are down

[little geyser]

someone was playing "dont push the button" and ultimately lost and pushed the button

[desert spindle]

big brother done shut down my game

[dusty wave]

EA honestly might just end all bf games to start working on another half baked game let's be real

we luv u EA <3

[buoyant sail]

Let's just code a new BF and release a new game, do not send any job application

[spiral valley]

Hopefully they learned their lesson

[little geyser]

well...i mean if the insider leaks are real about the next battlefield and it being codlike, im very worried about it

[still vault]

https://tenor.com/view/april-fools-joke-dog-its-fine-this-is-not-gif-1750056094467610487

[desert spindle]

i aint played this game in 2 years, next thing i come back to is an outage 😔

[dusty wave]

me too man, me too 😭😭

[spiral valley]

Only reason I bought 2042 its cause it was 90%+ off on steam

[heady sparrow]

Lets put bf1 bf4 and bf3 in an remastered classic collection game

[dusty wave]

the whole battlefield community is panicking

[dusty wave]

same honestly

[spiral valley]

I dont even wanna play bf2042

[still vault]

I had a really good 2042 game earlier today, but kinda nice with this outage, I've been so productive

[spiral valley]

i wanna play bfV XD

[heady sparrow]

Yea its a huge shut down

[mental delta]

Servers are down

Good try Diddy

[hollow lodge]

Call of duty is so happy now

[heady sparrow]

I got it free on ps plus

[plush echo]

Ps gave it away for free haha

[little geyser]

as we should be. It's terrifying. all we can hope is that they DO actually do a crap ton of playtests like they said they were and actually listen to the fans instead of going off and doing their own thing...again

[spiral valley]

you greek?

[plush echo]

Well it’s free on gamepass too so ez

[heady sparrow]

Yes

My bio says it all i guess

[dusty wave]

I'ma buy the game on launch no matter what, but I'm genuinely terrified if it's gonna be another bf2042 situation

[spiral valley]

Am Cypriot.

[spiral valley]

True

[hollow lodge]

on EA App the sale goes even 95%

[mental delta]

I've paid 100€ for it at launch and regretted the 200 first hours of playing

😎

[desert spindle]

more bugs than a wildlife preserve

[heady sparrow]

Aah neighbour cant understand when you people talk but thats fine

[plush echo]

Why do you want to buy it on launch ?

[dusty wave]

I'm desperate for a good battlefield game

[dusty wave]

frrr

[spiral valley]

😂😂 when i speak to Greek people i speak properly dont worry

[little geyser]

this is going to be the first battlefield I refuse to pre order or even buy on launch. I'm 100% waiting for actual reviews.

[hollow lodge]

Is it real that FC 25 is free on PS Store?

[plush echo]

Tuff but I get you

[heady sparrow]

Don't have high expectations

[dusty wave]

that's fair

[desert spindle]

what do yall think was the last best bf

[spiral valley]

Honestly i hate COD so i cant complain much i still got bfV to fall back 2

[dusty wave]

I don't, I just want new content from them

[dusty wave]

bf2042 ofc

[spiral valley]

Pls dont

[brittle wind]

2042 is goated

[dusty wave]

lmao

[plush echo]

idk but I somehow have it for free on Xbox, I pressed download with ea play and it worked but I don’t remember having ea play

[heady sparrow]

If a Cypriot changes his dialect to normal greek thats when i can understand him so i might understand you

[vital moth]

are the servers still down?

[mental delta]

BF6 is gonna be good af trust me

[spiral valley]

I played bf2042 for 6 hours

[violet dove]

2042 Dev Manager : how can we make the game better?
Honest Employee - shut the servers down?
2042 Dev Manager - No.

3 years later.
2042 Dev Manager - ok let's try it, turn them off.

[full fulcrum]

I LOVE BATTLEFIELD2042 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMG

[spiral valley]

then i went back to bfV

[heady sparrow]

My bio also fits the state my countries has been today with the protests and shit

[heady sparrow]

100 and i regret it

[hollow lodge]

damn thats a good surprise right there lol

[mental delta]

There's apparently a map set in the area 51 featuring alien gun which makes Tupac spawn on the objective C

[plush echo]

is it confirmed to be called bf6 ?

[heady sparrow]

And you will get nad content pr reused

Bad*

[rugged storm]

I don't need to imagine. 😆

[plush echo]

Yea fr, I wasn’t about to pay for that game ngl

[mental delta]

It's reportedly just "BATTLEFIELD"

[violet dove]

Hardline 2 .. confirmed

[spiral valley]

Yeah no hate but its a joke 😋

[naive ember]

Funny if Apex goes down too

[still vault]

All sound like silly rumours to me

[desert spindle]

hardline was the sheeyet

[violet dove]

It was the most fun.

[brittle wind]

2049

[violet dove]

Any game where you have to Nerf the Couch..... Is a great game.

[heady sparrow]

Yea its crazy haven't seen that many people in the big cities in my life

[dusty wave]

no. that's gonna give us all ptsd

I thought we moved on from 2042 😭😭

[vital moth]

probably not

[hollow lodge]

FC 25 didn't come with any new thing, its similar to 24 version

[mental delta]

Next game might be a reboot

[plush echo]

They could make one based on Vietnam ngl I don’t really see an fps game based on that war. Jungle maps could go crazy

[brittle wind]

Well rumors are saying it's set in 2030s

[languid vault]

I am choosing to be ignoranlty optimisic for the next title

[violet dove]

It is a reboot
** Hardline 2**

[plush echo]

Pretty much and fc 24 sucked but I guess they did update a few hairstyles in career mode

[spiral valley]

its not cyberpunk its bf XD

[violet dove]

You mean you are choosing to believe the EA hype machine.

[dusty wave]

as long as its not named 204_ idc xD

[dusty wave]

welllll

[brittle wind]

Battle Runner 2033?

[languid vault]

absolutely, then rage when they release the trailer

[still vault]

If I was developing the next Battlefield game I would not even have given it its final name yet. I would just have some marketing guys keep a tap on the community and writing down notes to try and figure out the patterns the community like the most

[dusty wave]

i love the ea hype machinnnee :DD

[violet dove]

Average BF player.

[spiral valley]

I just want bfV + bf1 remade and add extra content

[violet dove]

Hardline 2

[plush echo]

I’m ngl I have fifa 23 and I went back to try it it’s significantly worse than i remember probably worse than fc 24, so fc 25 feels somewhat better in gameplay @hollow lodge

[vital moth]

why remake when its already perfect

[spiral valley]

You are right just add extra content

[brittle wind]

BFV desperately needed an eastern front

Imo

[vital moth]

they should just add content to the already existing game

[prime crag]

is the game offline rn?

[vital moth]

but no companies do that

[dusty wave]

thas fair, but we still want extra content for those :P

[vital moth]

yes

[spiral valley]

Its mostly about the class situtation am talking about where you know medic is clearly the most op class. Fix that and its 😘

[prime crag]

nooooooo

[vital moth]

its been like 4 hours

[open trench]

how come on EA's website it says the servers are up... but they aren't 🙃??

[spiral valley]

Its EA they prolly noticed it when they made post

[prime crag]

i really wanted to play😭😭😭

[plush echo]

Man I wish they could give us a redux event since they stopped working on 2042 at least let us get early days cosmetics through events

[vital moth]

they like themselves

[languid vault]

just add more absurd skins to stimulate the zoomer brain and call it good

[spiral valley]

Cause they care about their community

[dusty wave]

me too gang 😭

[still vault]

Use #direct-communication instead

[frozen moat]

Don't worry guys. I will fix the servers shortly.

[vital moth]

same

[plush echo]

Give or take in the next 2 hours servers will be up

[open trench]

I'm sorta convinced DICE/EA don't even realise the servers are down because they don't play their own game😭

[spiral valley]

If you need help text me XD

[vital moth]

they probably never played a game

[plush echo]

They know it’s down they sent an announcement

[desert spindle]

ea's gonna extend the maintenance time

they gotta eat lunch

or breakfast

[open trench]

where?

[languid vault]

you're not you when you're hungry

[vital moth]

[vital moth]

[spiral valley]

Can the guy who said he posted it tell us what went wrong

[open trench]

An intern got mad at dying to vehicles and decided to burn down the server room

[heady sparrow]

To helicopters or ilya murets *

[spiral valley]

[plush echo]

Ye EA hire this guy he seems trustworthy despite having no pfp

[open trench]

Honestly wondering how outdated the hardware is on those servers cause this happens so often to this game

[vital moth]

what about the older games

[dusty wave]

its rly wierd

[marsh raptor]

[sterile bolt]

Seems like it

[vital moth]

[still vault]

Well, was nice seeing all you new people 😄

[spiral valley]

bfV is still down for me i dont know whats wrong

[mental delta]

If that's a reboot you got 99% chances it's just BATTLEFIELD

[stone cradle]

That's what 2042 was rumoured to be called originally lol

[still vault]

That's been rumoured for quite a few games now

At some point I guess it could become true

[bitter mulch]

It makes sense if its just Battlefield. With the whole eco system they are doing

its easier

[desert spindle]

game just crashes

sigh

[mental delta]

BF2042's name is originally a nod to both BF1942 and BF2142 to make people thing it was a "back to the sources" game which it wasn't at all

Purely marketing dudes mistake who thought it would ne a good idea to advertise it as a traditional BF game

[still vault]

https://help.ea.com/en/help-top-issues/?product=battlefield-2042

no im good now

did it at least fix the ribbon tracking for the event?

[crystal flower]

Anybody down to run it together?

[naive ember]

Longest 5 hours of my life

[buoyant tartan]

is it still down?

[arctic grove]

no

THERE UP

[limpid pond]

Tried watching delta force and that game is just so ass

Like it's just a higher graphic mobile game

2042 is just better by a land slide

[arctic grove]

who wanna play

[patent pivot]

At least 2042 has bots to some capacity, unlike delta

[brittle wind]

DF has bots in low population servers

[patent pivot]

But, how good is their bot

Are they smart? Can they use all guns and gadgets?

[limpid pond]

I mean yeah but I rarely ever get bots.

I mainly just play Breakthrough or 64 p conquest or the pushed gamemode like Frontline this week

[brittle wind]

They are skill based funnily

[patent pivot]

As in?

[brittle wind]

If you start to do good they will target you and aimbot you through smoke

[limpid pond]

Wait what?? Is that why tf they two tap me from across the map if I do get them?

[patent pivot]

Okay besides aimbot

[limpid pond]

Like bruh I'll be running and get purely aimbotted out of no where

[patent pivot]

What about their behaviors

Are they altered too?

[limpid pond]

Dude the bots with the svk are the worst

[patent pivot]

I want to know

[limpid pond]

I doubt the behaviors are different

[little tundra]

servers online?

[limpid pond]

From the bots I have played they walk forward and crouch and try to res that's all they do

It's just some of them aimbot the shit out of me

[patent pivot]

Imagine some of them going lone wolf

Instead of pursuing objectives, they tend to go for kills

Or have unique special actions

[limpid pond]

Yeah I wouldn't want that tbh. Having bots that act like players will get you in a mess

[patent pivot]

Recon bots stay to spot and snipe

[arctic grove]

ya

[little tundra]

guys

[little tundra]

thanks

[patent pivot]

Or support bots

[little tundra]

time to fire

[limpid pond]

I imagine so

[arctic grove]

u wanna play

[patent pivot]

They can prone and suppress until they're ready to move in

[limpid pond]

Bots are good the way they are imo

[little tundra]

not now

[patent pivot]

That shit sounds cool tho

Welli want more

[arctic grove]

k

[little tundra]

A bit later

[arctic grove]

DM me

[patent pivot]

I want them to be more advanced, mimicking mere player's actions

Not just walk in straight line to objectives

That's boring

[limpid pond]

I don't. Having them to player alike Is an issue. You just run into not being able to tell if it's a bot or not unless they have definitve factors like certain skins or even certain guns only.

It's almost like bots in fortnite or cod. You can't tell they're bots until you get close for them to shoot and see they miss everything

[patent pivot]

I'm not advocating players mix with bots

A better solo mode is what I want

[limpid pond]

Oh I get that. Yeah the solo mode Is pretty bad but I believe a good solo would just be you vs 64 bots.

There's plenty of bots to kill and it actually can become a hard task when trying g to capture objectives just based off sheer numbers

[warm glacier]

are the servers back

[limpid pond]

Try the game and find out

[warm glacier]

god forbid i ask

[limpid pond]

Here's some super sick technology advancement we've stumbled upon

https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/are-ea-servers-down/

[vital quail]

I mean you could also read the past 3 hours of the chat

[limpid pond]

Yeah this dude is like the 80th guy to ask this already

[warm glacier]

yea but i dont think thats very accurate as last time i checked it said they were up

even though they arent up

[limpid pond]

Yeah but it's a start

Or you could scroll up 10 messages

Probably more like 20 but you get the point

[limpid pond]

https://x.com/BattlefieldComm/status/1883587634972553352?t=uecHx3HjGjWBN1ZsH5deRA&s=19

But here you go

[warm glacier]

Was that so hard

Thank you

[limpid pond]

I mean scrolling up isn't hard either

You're welcome

[vital quail]

3 seconds to scroll and multiple messages of people saying the game is back

[warm glacier]

How do you counter the riot sheild

A full mag dump does get him

[limpid pond]

Rpg him stick him with the sticky gernade launcher or run at him then slide jump behind him while shooting him

They made it so her turns slow with the shield out

Most dozer players are actually god awful so I would just jump behind him while he runs at you

[warm glacier]

Yea pisses me off honestly idk how they enjoy playing like that

[limpid pond]

Oh I kill them all super easy to the point they camp In a corner that I can't jump behind them in. Then I wait for them to pull out their gun

[warm glacier]

Also if you know how to make sundance stfu that would be super helpful

Mf talks about teamwork at the worst possible moment

[limpid pond]

You mean her voicelines?

[warm glacier]

Yup

[limpid pond]

Unfortunately it's turn down the dialog volume which messes up the rest

I never t1d Sundance and never will. Her whole character was stupid

In my opinion

She use to be Hella op when she had like 3 of every gernade type or whatever it was

[warm glacier]

She hust hella annoying

[limpid pond]

Yeah trophy counters but still annoying. Then again I'm always rushing so I don't deal with it often

I believe it. In redacted she's so good as long as no trophys

[warm glacier]

I play mostly breakthrough and use her

Dunno who else is good in the assault class

[limpid pond]

Yeah I think I have her mastery level 0 still

[limpid pond]

Mackay

Zains sweet too but I never got his airbrush launcher down

I'm pretty ass with it

[brittle wind]

Finally got Zain T1

[limpid pond]

Oh that's right he heals fast asf doesn't he

Yeah I prefer his entry season skin the weird trash bag chemical suit one

[warm glacier]

Imma try him out then

[brittle wind]

Only have like 3 specialists left

Mackay is better imo

[warm glacier]

What does it mean to tier a specialist

[brittle wind]

Than Zain

[limpid pond]

I have to finish Blasco, not touching Sundance so I need dozer and Zain

Mackay was op asf before the grapple nerf

He's still the best but it reduced alot
