👁👄👁

[fading drift]

Need friends to play PTFO Randoms suck...

[lilac dust]

PSSSSST ..... DICE. You can send me a playtest invite now if you want. I'm ready to play 😉

[ancient peak]

Took a long hiatus from the game. How’s the Bradley/BMP?

[sturdy socket]

so just to confirm there's no way to get like, past seasons content

cause that dozer skin is gnawing at my mind

[naive ember]

Nope

Other day I seen a 43 with s6 stuff

[kind bramble]

Does anyone use their mic in Battlefield 😂

[naive ember]

What's a mic?

MicDonalds?

[graceful crow]

hey so i have a pretty beast pc and everytime i try and play 2042 i get to the main menu and it closes and opens the ea app

sometimes i dont even get to the main menu

other times it just freezes my pc

anyone have a ideas? ive tried repairing files, running as admin, downloaded newest nvidia shit

nothing works

[fallow dirge]

its shit, just restart the app and try again

[graceful crow]

ive tried that and i still have the same issues

like i was able to run the game fine on my older pc. with my new pc 2042 is the only game that has given me any sort of issue

[plucky drift]

Hellooo!!! I.m from holland 31 years old. And look for a new squad team to go on a adventure. Hehe. Noo to have fun ofcorse! I.m playimg Battlefield 1 or V or 2042 or 4 or hardline or 1942 or. Hahaha. So hlet me knowif u seek some veteran player 🤟🤟🤟🤟

[tidal blaze]

hehehahaha stoned as always..

[hoary garden]

Clear the cache

[graceful crow]

how/where would i do that? 😄

[hoary garden]

solution that has worked for many regarding this issue is to navigate to "Documents\Battlefield 2042\cache" > enter the cache folder (Dont delete it) > Press CTRL+A (Highlights all files in this folder)> delete all files > reload game.

[graceful crow]

thank you ill try this!

[merry heart]

god i wish Rao was more useful in this game

[small iron]

[echo gull]

[graceful crow]

[dawn quiver]

PS5

[acoustic seal]

yeah all the air vehicles have anti-gravity tech, it is 2042 after all

shittiest flight model in a bf game yet

[merry heart]

but in all seriousness

it couldve been better

[acoustic seal]

it's already really powerful when the only requirement is being alive and having line of sight

[dawn quiver]

Join three Discord chat

[final topaz]

Anyone on?

[cloud mortar]

hi

[arctic grove]

I got an email about a playtest, but the link's not working, even though it says I've got till the 13th. Anyone I can ask about this?

[merry heart]

okay if you say so

[acoustic seal]

the game is fucked from top to bottom because they tried to retrofit ability shooter stuff into a 32v32 format, there's not really a way to fix it without throwing it all out

[vital quail]

Ever since I complained about breakaway crashing the other day, I've gotten it like 6 or 7 times out of 10 matches

[clear zephyr]

So 4 years later and 2042 is still buggin

I brought that shit for 100 Aud 😂

[raven mural]

[limpid pond]

delta force is a god awful game. i joine and within the first 10 minutes i had 38 kills no one revives theres no way to see how many deaths you have. everyone gets some cringe ult like mid game health regen is slow asf and etc

battlefield has and always will be better ]

[brittle wind]

I got like 70 kills in my 4th or 5th match but I quit because I heard it has SBMM. Practically confirmed by devs and content creators anyways. I would be sent to Enders' game if I continued playing it

[shrewd root]

Oh my god I'm not the only one who didn't like this game. Although many people praise, the taste of society has really deteriorated so much.

[brittle wind]

It's like F2P 2042 1.0 version but works great on many hardware unlike 2042 1.0

[shrewd root]

I didn't get the Battlefield Experience there. Planetside 2 is more like the classic Battlefield, so I like it.

[shrewd root]

Apparently Delta Force was originally developed for the extraction mode

[bronze sand]

is it worth playing this game again? I haven't played for ages 😕

[brittle wind]

Well same as 2042 then

[limpid pond]

Yeah the game is honestly a joke. The only credit I'll give delta force is that their escape from tarkov clone mode is actually good. The core game though terrible

2042 could have made hazard zone great but they just dropped the ball with that one hard

[fallen olive]

Just wondering... Whats happening with BF2042? Constantly thrown out of game. For few days now.

[limpid pond]

Are you pc?

[fallen olive]

Yeah

[limpid pond]

If you're pc there's been some weird bug or idk what it is but it's been randomly crashing our games recently. Doesn't happen to me super often but I do end up crashing a bunch and alot of the guys I know are having similar issues

How often are you crashing?

[fallen olive]

Ok. Thanks for the heads up. I'm crashing every time. PC and internet connection is not an issue for sure.

[limpid pond]

Yeah it's not a internet thing. Try repairing the game or worse case uninstall and reinstall. When I un-installed and reinstalled it stopped the crashing almost every game so now I only crash after 10 games or so

[proven coral]

All multi-player shooters are either garbo, broken,hacker havens,garbage, or all thee above at this point. The lab is the last option.

[naive ember]

Skill issue

[limpid pond]

Just got randomly recommended a Jordy short. Rip bro made me sad asf

[vocal tusk]

People thinking BF Labs is going to be an open test where you can jump in and play for as long as you want, instead of a 2 hour closed session to test sprint speed on a random Thursday 😛

[sharp temple]

I confess that I'm lost, I've already filled out the questionnaire for battlefield labs, you've already told me to join discord, but what do I have to do now?

[vocal tusk]

Wait to actually be invited to playtest (It may never happen, you signed up for a chance to be chosen)

[sharp temple]

what's to wait then, thanks

[limpid pond]

Yeah battlefield labs isn't guaranteed to pick you. Not to mention you're not just joining a playtest to just try out the game they're gonna invite you in to test features they add because they know they're own playtesters are shit

[vocal tusk]

Internal, non remote playtests cant reproduce a lot of issues that come up with MP games. Its not that internal QA are shit, its that they lack the scale to reproduce the main issues players will complain about.

Even the biggest companies lack scale testing when it comes to QA. The only game in recent history that released seemingly without a hitch was Marvel Rivals.

[chilly jacinth]

They had public testing too

It was really shit the first time they opened up testing

[sharp temple]

I have two computers to test, one has an i5-4460 and the other has an i5-8000, both have 16gb of ram, then I have my brothers, one has an i3-11xxx with a 1660 ti super and the other an i5-10xxx with an rtx 2080, I was able to test this easily

[chilly jacinth]

Test what easily

[sharp temple]

It's not just in games, look for example at the Asus ROG Phone 6, after updating to Android 14 there is a bug in the cameras and they keep restarting infinitely

[vocal tusk]

That sucks. I guess Asus dont have long session tests for things like that/on a new OS. Asus QC has been pretty bad in the last 3-5 years.

[brittle wind]

Public tests seems to be the future of online games

[sharp temple]

Whoever you're telling me if or if I knew about this would never have updated Android, and worse than that, neither ROG nor Asus support responds to this problem.

[brittle wind]

Even single player games too, just not public but rather closed tests

[sharp temple]

but well I stopped playing my CS to come and answer the email, I'll go back there until I know something, but I would like to at least once in my life test and help in the development of a game

[merry marten]

🇫🇷

[drifting sierra]

why i cant open my bf

it says upd anticheat how

[brittle wind]

Stop cheating

[drifting sierra]

but i havent cheaten

it says update anticheat

[brittle wind]

I have no idea, I'm just messing with you

[chilly jacinth]

Update it then

[naive ember]

>

[pale crescent]

anyone wanna play some conquest or breakthrough

[naive ember]

BT only

[pale crescent]

BT?

[brittle wind]

Is infantry BT still active?

[pale crescent]

Yh

Idk what it is though

[brittle wind]

Infantry breakthrough

[chilly jacinth]

Breakthrough

[pale crescent]

What the difference between breakthrough and infantry

[brittle wind]

No vehicle sweats on infantry, they can farm bots on regular BT

[pale crescent]

Ohh

[topaz solar]

Battle of the bulge map fucking sucks ass just full of sniping campers who sit indoors

[arctic grove]

they really captured Battlefield V with that map didn't they

[turbid sorrel]

C

[zealous crow]

D

[left night]

Service down?

[granite bronze]

I have the same feeling about haven

[topaz solar]

Ngl people who camp with tanks on al Alamein are fucked man

Got this one dickhead who’s camped entire game in the one tank thinks he’s good when I ambush him and he jumps out tbags me and types shit

They just sit on the one hill the entire game so fucked

[spring ibex]

I don't understand the issue with holding a position. If you can't dislodge them, you're doing it wrong.

[topaz solar]

It’s the camping bro

There’s no need to camp a vehicle 🤣

It’s like say I camp in a corner the entire game

[velvet peak]

Skill issue. It’s not hard to take out a tank if u know what ur doing

[topaz solar]

Bro there were two

[velvet peak]

still isn’t hard bro

1 person

with c4 can take one of them out

[chilly jacinth]

You can just hop ontop of one with a repair tool and kill em that way

Most freak out and jump out though

[indigo path]

bro can someone help me i have a problem i cant enter to the game always stuck on website 😢
in battle field 3 premium

@chilly jacinth bro can you help me?

[spring ibex]

tbf, it can be hard if they are decent, it shuld be a team effort

[median moss]

Shit battlefield is realistic af

People surprised when a sniper hides in a bush and one shots them

People get upset when people value their expensive vehicles camping and holding positions

Don’t get me wrong this shit pissed me off

But it’s war and war ain’t fun!

[spring ibex]

kidding me? most people dont play war

they like the theme, thats it

they cbf applying the tactics

lockers as a prime example.
Its FUN of course, but few want anything much outside of it

Hence why COD is what it is today

You either go hard milsim, or casual COD.. theres not much inbetween anymore

[molten sandal]

Facts

[molten sandal]

Definitely not it’s just large scale fighting

[wet delta]

Is anyone having an issue with the M3A3 bradley not unlocking after completing both requirements for it?

[molten sandal]

For Battlefield to be realistic it would need to be similar to arma

[molten sandal]

Don’t play 2042

[spring ibex]

Battlefield 'should be' two opposing mechanized infantry companies (32 players) with limited armor and air support, whom accidently end up in close proximity to each other for whatever reason = all hell breaks loose.

So it has it's narrative.. if they wanted it

[median moss]

Its not real. But it's one of the closest things in terms of gaming

And I was really just trying to jab all the people bitching about concepts that exist in reality

And to stop acting surprised when they're getting killed.

The people who annoy me are the kids who run around with throwing knives and rockets

No one carries rockets like that. No one gets one tapped by a knife to the foot

AND NO ONE GETS ONE TAPPED AFTER BEING TOUCHED BY A SHIELD

Also what's up with the turrets that auto shoot people. That shit got more natural health than humans or the same

[molten sandal]

LMFAOO

I agree

[median moss]

Yah I got hit by one to many throwing knives last night so I join this discord looking for smoke

xD

[molten sandal]

Ye my friend was telling me about how annoying it is

[spring ibex]

Yeah I never understood that, there should be a baseline logic to the world, but BF breaks that

[granite bronze]

And don't forget jumping around. Nobody jumping with a 30-50kg-s extra equipment

[fickle wharf]

muh realisim

play squad

[spring ibex]

Jumping should be replaced with the ability to vault over stuff

[chilly jacinth]

It can't replace something that already is in the game

[spring ibex]

replaced/removed/ whichever it is

should add more weight to movement as well

we sure sound like 50-75kg, but feel nothing close to it

[molten sandal]

Talking about in the future

I played 2042 the day it came out deleted it the day it came out as well

Went right back to 5

[spring ibex]

people always think weight or any kind of slower movement is a negative, but it actually makes you more deliberate in your sprinting/rushing because once you commit to it, you can't stop mid-way.

[chilly jacinth]

Yes you can

[spring ibex]

*without exposure / risk

[chilly jacinth]

Removing jumping doesn't add or remove risk

[spring ibex]

Should have kept playing, it ultimately was a fun game. Not what it should have been, but still a fun game.

[spring ibex]

because jumping is about a different issue.

[molten sandal]

Yes like Arma if you choose to get a bunch of gear and mags and grenades you move slower

[blazing coral]

When will 64 vs 64 assault come back

[molten sandal]

In 2085

[granite bronze]

It is worth another show I believe. Sometimes in the Frontlines and Breakthrough mode the fighting can be epic, and intense, when the players are know their rules, and use their brains.

[molten sandal]

I’ll try it again sometime this weekend

[spring ibex]

I'm thankful I got to experience the first 6 - 12 months

128 player games

the community trying to grasp wtf to do with the open maps, and limited to no cover

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 1 will always be my love

[spring ibex]

I remember people had to actually adapt, come up with tactics on the fly.. it felt erratic and enjoyable.

But then they fortified everything, which is ok... but people didn't cherish that clean look the maps had, you felt like you were the very first troops on the ground.

2042 was all about sudden raids anyway, some exceptions, so they shouldnt be fortified

too many cry babies complaining they cant move A to B in the most lazy half-assed way possible without getting shot

One of my best memories, was roughly 20-30 of us trying to make a break to an objective with no cover over hills, forest terrain, thunder storm, heavy downpour, smacked right into the other team, everyone scrambling to go prone or find a rock, a tree whatever, less than half made it to the objective, we lost but it was a rush.

[granite bronze]

Sometimes I got tired of the game, but than some epic happens, and give it a new motivation for me. That goes on for a while now

[brittle wind]

Don't play on conq/bt, play on cq conquest or infantry bt, let the tanks play with bots

[brittle wind]

Can't wait for someone to ask devs to remove hipfiring too, it will be a 4/4 bingo

[honest wave]

Is ribbon progression broken? I went from 64 ribons down to 32. This is the second time this has happened in two weeks.

[naive ember]

Hey devs can you remove hipfiring?

[median moss]

wut

[brittle wind]

@naive ember

[chilly jacinth]

Remove prone too

[naive ember]

Remove everything, it's not realistic

[granite bronze]

Remove using mouse, only pageup - pagedown looking up and down

[chilly jacinth]

Damn you're cooking

[uneven lance]

This is the worst BF game not only by gameplay but by art style its so generic and corporate

[molten sandal]

Eh one of the reasons why I stopped playing is because people camped the spawns with LMG with thermal optics nothing you could really do

It’s definitely fun, but it gets pretty annoying when people play dress up and buy a bunch of jeeps and leave other people behind

[molten sandal]

Ye I believe they changed it but before you could literally scan the entire team if you set them up, right

[ocean pilot]

I play Battlefield using a steering wheel

[granite bronze]

I tried with quake 3

[hazy sonnet]

hello , may i know how can i get the img source of bf2042 player card img?
just source img , like the /playercard command

[idle cypress]

How come I can’t get VC to work? In 2042 channel 2. I can hear others when they talk but I can’t respond. Not muted

[brittle wind]

https://help.ea.com/en/help/pc/ea-anticheat/

For people who has issues with BF anticheat

[sharp path]

la3ma

[brittle wind]

They removed infantry BT

At least they added infantry rush

Oh shie... We have Rush XL now, should be fun

[drowsy warren]

did you guys have black sceen crash today?

[naive ember]

Was trying to take a break from 2042, time to delete V then haha

[chilly jacinth]

Game is a crashing simulator

[drowsy warren]

well i come 15 days ago on 2042 , was fine but till today i got black screen in middle of games... trying some fixing but so far not resolve

[chilly jacinth]

You can't fix it

[ancient peak]

How’s the Bradley/BMP?

[chilly jacinth]

Passable

[merry heart]

Remove Deez

Just kidding

[merry heart]

Last time I crashed in 2042 was when I was trying to fly a helicopter and I didn't know what the fuck I was doing.

[merry heart]

You're like 27 years late for that.

[ocean pilot]

What?

[rocky gust]

they love ignoring the fact that bf2 had dropshotting lmao

[dull anchor]

bring back Hardcore mode All maps

[rocky gust]

go play a milsim

stop trying to force "hardcore" garbage into this game

[merry heart]

Man I hated that

[merry heart]

Hardcore is only fun in BF1 let's be real.

[chilly jacinth]

No

[naive ember]

Dropshotting is annoying af

[rancid iron]

do u guys find servers? in germany its always only my sqad an no server fills up

[spare quest]

turn on crossplay

[rancid iron]

sadly its on

[spare quest]

weird, shouldnt be a problem to find servers usually

[keen rapids]

had an issue few nights ago where it didnt properly connect me on startup, tried restarting?

[high kernel]

Battlefield 4 will always be the light in my book. Best everything. Bad compnany series was awesome too!

[arctic grove]

Is there a way we can find every digital copy of the map Redacted and shoot it into the sun?

[high kernel]

BF3 maps hold fond memories

[naive magnet]

What benefit do the BMP and Bradley have that isn’t done better by the alternatives? Just the stealth portion?

[brittle wind]

DFR with AR mags and a support operator is just so good

[weary bridge]

when is next discount on this game?

is it worth even trying or should wait for BF6

[vital quail]

It was just on sale like 2 days ago

[weary bridge]

Never played this game. Only maybe 18 years ago when I was kid

[vital quail]

I don't know how often steam events happen but maybe if they have a start of spring sale is the next time I would expect it to be on sale

[brittle wind]

BF games are on sale every month

It will happen this month too

[vivid fox]

f

[plain meadow]

wait wtf

is it named BF?

[stone cradle]

boyfriend, yes

[plain meadow]

BOYFRIEND?

NAH YALL TRIPPING

THAT'S SOME POOKIE SHIT

[stone cradle]

too late, you're one of us now

[plain meadow]

'Each day we stray further away from god'

[nova mango]

Boyfriend 6

[naive ember]

[main ingot]

Im redownloading 2042 for the first time since launch, whould i expect better or is it still the same?

should*

[naive ember]

Wym better? 2042 was always great

[elfin void]

Is there a fix for getting random disconnects mid game?

It'll say unable to connect to EA servers

But my internet is stable

[solid imp]

this happens to me mostly when I'm on vpn but these last couple days I have gotten das boot from matches a bit more often

could be something wonky with some servers

[elfin void]

It used to not happen to me at all, now I get it every 10min

[rain violet]

I've had a lot of persistence errors when trying to queue but if I try a different queue/map it usually works

[karmic oasis]

2042 is hella fun now with all the updates and such

just that artstyle still is...eh

[elfin void]

Yeah I enjoy it the most of all the BFs

(BF4 aside)

I think 1 is the most overrated of the lot :D

[karmic oasis]

Bf1 is amazing

and there is a reason why is still the best selling battlefield game

[elfin void]

Its decent, but theres too many LMG campers in that game for me to enjoy it

[rotund ridge]

Bf Vietnam the best. 2142 the most fun. 2042 hot garbage.

[elfin void]

In an ideal world we get BF4 modernized

Its all I want

[rain violet]

BF1 is praised because there's barely any skill ceiling to it. No movement tech, casual shooting mechanics, legs have same damage model as body, and the pace is slow.

[smoky roost]

Simple = Fun

[karmic oasis]

the p90 is too good

[carmine panther]

What attachments u running

[rain violet]

Nah, simple is boring and repetitive. If there's no depth to anything it just makes for a bland experience.

[elfin void]

Good thing about BF2042 is the variety in operators and using the skillset to your advantage

I know the game has plenty of problems

But still think its pretty good

[karmic oasis]

laser sight

[smoky roost]

Wild its one of the most replayed iterations of the game then and the community loves it.

[rain violet]

Precisely because they're the simple audience it catered to.

[acoustic seal]

it's got planetside 2 syndrome where people play it because they can't succeed in any other game

[smoky roost]

I thought most people just played that game cause it runs on a potato

[acoustic seal]

you would think that, but ps2 runs like hot dogshit

[smoky roost]

Think ive not touched the game in coming upto a decade myself, I remember playing it on my 8800GT lol.

[brisk kite]

I would say it's more like Luke warm dogshit

[naive ember]

[rocky gust]

THANK YOU

Any praise other than the atmosphere of bf1 is really just…

Fanboying

The game was most fun when there was a skill gap

Now its just lock down an area with an slr or just smg08 brrr

[elfin void]

Im surprised more people think the same lol

Generally the game is praised into the heavens

It captures WW1 sure, but its nothing insane

[rocky gust]

I mean it got the CONCEPT of ww1 well

With very interesting arsenals

But the gameplay is so shallow

Gas, suppression, sweet spot… so many garbage

Its one of those games you hop on after a long time, enjoy the vibe

30 minutes later yep thats enough for a few months

Rinse and repeat

[elfin void]

Pretty much

I play 2042 cause it plays nice, gunplay and movement etc

[rocky gust]

The game is visually stunning

[elfin void]

Its nothing deep etc, but its playable

[rocky gust]

I wont lie

[elfin void]

And its BF

[rocky gust]

I just cannot bear the mouse input

[brittle wind]

It looks worse than BF1 and V imo

[rocky gust]

I was talking about bf1 lol

[elfin void]

Hes talking about BF1 im p sure

[rocky gust]

2042 looks like something i make after a taco bell dinner

[elfin void]

Lets pray BF "7" is what we want

BF4.5

:D

[rocky gust]

“So we did mention no specialists so we made OPERATORS”

[elfin void]

lmao

[rocky gust]

“Theyre different guys”

Honestly i would not be surprised at all if they pull something like that

[elfin void]

If we get 4 classes but they can use any gun Ill be happy

[rocky gust]

I kinda disagree but to each their own

[elfin void]

Its not like Ill babyrage if we get it like BF4

But I like being able to run an AR with engineer class etc

Unless they add the carbine class again

[rocky gust]

I personally think they handled the class weapons well in bf3

Carbines exclusive to engi

And pdw dmr sg for others as well

And each class gets their own unique weapons

[elfin void]

Just dont put snipers in the game :D

[remote kiln]

the battlefield 3 weapon locks were idiotic and made no sense

that and suppression were easily the worst parts about it excluding weapon balance

[elfin void]

Nothing bothers me more than snipers that add nothing to the team

[rocky gust]

Idk carbines being all kit in bf4 made no sense for me

Espc since most of them were invalidated by ARs for medic

[elfin void]

Its nice tho, it allows for some variety

[rocky gust]

Thats true

[elfin void]

Playing an aggressive recon

Beacon behind enemy lines, but still be able to push

Rather than limited to a long range weapon

[rocky gust]

In my perfect battlefield snipers wouldnt exist but

Its a cruel world

[elfin void]

Same haha

Or limit to 5 or 10% per team

5 yeah

10 is too much

[remote kiln]

as soon as you take away player agency, you are restricting player customisability and adaptability, there are certain locks which are required, e.g. bolt actions or DMRs to recons but locking aka shotguns to engineers or carbines makes 0 sense and just makes people prefer the assault class or support and artificially skews balancing

[brittle wind]

I think classes should limit your weapons, I don't want medic snipers

[remote kiln]

it's bad design and bad for player choice

[rocky gust]

Well they also gotta consider the balance between firearms of the automatics as well

If they end up making carbines too strong

[remote kiln]

battlefield 3 had no balance lol

[rocky gust]

Aek m16 was too strong yeah

[remote kiln]

the M16, has been since release and still is, the best battlefield gun of all time

[elfin void]

I never like go back to play BF3, it doesnt hold up in current year

[stone cradle]

I think the short snippet we got sort of confirms they're keeping this from 2042

[rocky gust]

M16a3 heavy barrel foregrip

[remote kiln]

it is the literal god gun of any franchise release

[rocky gust]

The nightmare of it

[stone cradle]

recon-looking character holding a rifle

[elfin void]

yea that gun was cracked

[remote kiln]

it's that powerful it even beats Mk6 frag up close

[rocky gust]

Speaking of frags

Usas 12

[remote kiln]

I sincerely hope so

[elfin void]

Never used it

[rocky gust]

You could think about killing someone and they would die

[elfin void]

I do want something like Delta Force's gunsmith tho

[remote kiln]

usas 12 w/ frag is a pickup weapon in battlefield 3/4

[elfin void]

Its satisfying to use

Yeah I never really used pickups

[remote kiln]

you could down jets or helicopters with it if you were accurate so you missed out

stupidly obscene and overpowered but fun

[elfin void]

Sounds balanced

[rocky gust]

The meme from battlefield friends didnt appear for no reason lol

“Sun disabled 100”

[stone cradle]

this guy

[elfin void]

Maybe hes using an MK17

or w/e its called

the DMR AR15

[rocky gust]

Probably one of the millions in the ar15 platform

[elfin void]

M117 maybe

[rocky gust]

Eotech and what seems like a laser

And maybe a comp? Idk

[elfin void]

i want the BF4 assault skin tho

from US

can i post links https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefield/images/8/8a/USAssaultMulticam.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width/360?cb=20140114050649

no preview sadge

[rain violet]

You're welcome, BF needs the diehards who want the series to be good in a sea of casualized trends.

[rocky gust]

People ask for realism in games that does not bode well with it. And keep forcing dogshit into games

Bf 2025 portal will need server restrictions so garbage servers like afghan war sim 1000dmg doesn’t exist

[elfin void]

yeah they shouldnt give players too much freedom in creating servers

[rain violet]

Yeah I really hope Portal if it exists has a lot of restrictions.

[rocky gust]

Problem with dice is they think BF players are mature enough to make playable servers

Instead we get milsim, and xp farms

[elfin void]

the whole bots thing sucks to begin with dont it?

theyre basically a waste of ammo :D

[rain violet]

AI has no reason to exist in any multiplayer FPS

[rocky gust]

You know if they had a server browser itd be nice but

Legacy feature right

[remote kiln]

I'm not sure why they're bringing back portal, I have said and stand by that it should just be removed entirely, but we'll see

[elfin void]

yea thats for singleplayer games

[rocky gust]

Nah, server browser is a legacy feature

Gone are the days of old

ONLY QUICKMATCH WOOO

[elfin void]

portal is fine, just need to make sure people can only do some things, not all things

[remote kiln]

it's more that 2042 proved it to be a failed design concept, and putting resources into it even with that, is, odd, to say the least

[elfin void]

perhaps its something they can add later

rather have the base experience be solid first

[rocky gust]

If they make a BR im gonna have a jolly old time mocking the devs

[elfin void]

and NO MEATGRINDERS!

[remote kiln]

regarding bots, DICE didn't make them, they were made by SEED

[rocky gust]

When will they ever accept BR is not a BF suite

Im so excited for hazard zone 2.0

[remote kiln]

I mean nobody really knows that

[elfin void]

luckily the BR hype has died down tremendously

[rocky gust]

I would honestly be surprised if they dont make it

[remote kiln]

(xyz is not a battlefield thing) could just as easily be disproved if it succeeds on release

[rocky gust]

Given their track record, id reckon battlefield would probably fail tremendously

[remote kiln]

at the very minimum, if there's anyone who could possibly make it work, Byron beede is the best of the lot

[rocky gust]

Yeah

[rain violet]

BR hype has died and in its stead it has been replaced with hero shooters where you legitimately don't do any shooting and just get carried by abilities that are hilariously easy to use and have insane impact. It's like MOBA for cavemen.

[rocky gust]

Hopefully we will be able to see whether they woke up with an actual gameplay trailer

[remote kiln]

I am not convinced it's "dead"

[elfin void]

first BF Labs things launch in 2wks right

or was it 2mo

[remote kiln]

gaming works on a cycle, not on a linear path

[rocky gust]

Think it was 2 weeks

[remote kiln]

what people are saying now about BRs is what they said about hero shooters

[pine roost]

and then marvel rivals comes out and now hero shooters are back somehow

[remote kiln]

besides, even if you grant it, the juggernauts like warzone and Fortnite are still the most successful game inventions of all time outside GTA, and continue to be for player count

[rain violet]

Making the same mistakes OW did but people don't question it because new hotness

[elfin void]

kinda surprised about the current WZ tbh

i played the OG WZ a lot during covid

it was super fun

then it got ruined with integration of Cold War

and seems its not gotten any better since

[remote kiln]

that's what happened when you have different studios working on different games unfortunately

[elfin void]

yep

[remote kiln]

luckily, this is not what these studios are doing

[elfin void]

yeah multiple studios working on the same game

rather than cycling through studios for new ones

[rain violet]

I still have little interest in BR because the concept of it means I'm just playing an FPS with way more downtime.

[remote kiln]

components, specifically which is key

[elfin void]

i have no interest because ive done it enough

[remote kiln]

the only way you build expertise is by refining something, and dices problem has always been spreading themselves too thin across a number of items

which means we get shoddy or in 2042s case cut material like campaigns

[elfin void]

i mean no campaign is fine imo

but i get that people want it

[remote kiln]

it's more to do that even if it exists it's at best lukewarm and 90% of the time mostly awful

[elfin void]

campaign take a lot of time, which could be used on other stuff

[remote kiln]

3/4 campaigns are your usual make no sense generic superman soldier saves the universe boring cliche novels that don't make sense but have a few good mission designs so people glance over the actual core story being bad

apparently all it takes is a single cinematic jet mission for people to forget the next mission and ending they get is ass

[elfin void]

yep

[rain violet]

Yup, most single player FPS are just Michael Bay set pieces with no rhyme or reason.

[remote kiln]

it's even worse than that because at least Michael bay admits there's no purpose, the problem is they try to make one, and it just falls apart because of it

[rain violet]

The best single player FPS are ones that force you to adhere to their mechanical choices and gameplay. Makes the experience more intriguing, and the more you put into it the more the game rewards you for playing the way it wants you to.

[pine roost]

honestly i've never touched a campaign in a multiplayer shooter besides titanfall's

just feel more like tutorials for the games they are attached to

[remote kiln]

3 is by far the worst offender, 4 not that far behind

[elfin void]

Was thinking hard of the last campaign in a FPS i genuinely enjoyed

TF2 is the one

Shame the game is basically dead, it was a good concept

[remote kiln]

I still despise people calling battlefield 1/5 "campaigns" when even dice themselves said they weren't

[frozen loom]

That Spearhead map needs to get the parapet fixed on the building. It's not even a good spot to snipe from because the parapet slopes inwards which isn't realistic at all.

[alpine verge]

Do they change bullet drop occasionally? I swear when I was playing the weekly mode last week to snipe someone with my setup like 500 away I had to be like 3/4 to the first tick. today on the weekly mode it seemed like I had to be less than 1/2 way to the first tick to hit my targets, even when firing up a steep angle.

On a different note, maybe I'm wrong, but seems that if firing up vs firing down changes how far you have to offset your crosshairs.

[elfin void]

Were you playing the rush mode

It has different values for everything

[alpine verge]

Just now, yeah

[alpine verge]

really?

[elfin void]

Increased movement

[remote kiln]

they do not change bullet drop

[elfin void]

Etc

[rain violet]

It's why BC1 is still the best single player. It's stupid, it doesn't take itself seriously, and even though it plays out like MP with bots the simplicity and charm of AWOL soldiers chasing after gold isn't lost in the mix.

[elfin void]

It says so in the mode tooltip

I think bullet velocity is higher

[remote kiln]

your subjective situation will differ because engagement distances are smaller/bigger between modes

but bullet drop is universally the same across playlists (excl velocity)

[alpine verge]

I mean it says "faster bullets" but I didn't think that changed drop

[remote kiln]

pretty much

[elfin void]

idk either, but i imagine that has something to do with it

[remote kiln]

unless it is explicitly a portal server the bullet drop values do not change between playlists is the tldr

[rain violet]

Yeah, a faster bullet will have a flatter trajectory

[elfin void]

I never played BC1 unfortunately. only BC2

iirc BC1 wasnt on PC

[rain violet]

Yeah BC1 sadly never came to PC

Which is weird because the control scheme and interface felt very PC. You had to select grenades or knives much like BF2

[remote kiln]

with that being said because half of the weapons are imported from other games they can feel out of place/wonky with 2042 main guns

[pine roost]

I don’t really mind in the end of a campaign just has some flashy theatrics to make it entertaining as my expectations for them are non existent at the moment. But something would need to feel really different to multiplayer to make it something I’d ever consider

[elfin void]

im completly unaware of the current metrics, but isnt PC the largest playerbase for BF

[alpine verge]

Ok, well if it's the "faster bullets" causing less drop, fine I guess. Just didn't realize that it would actually change the drop, since I figured it'd just reach it's target faster, not change the trajectory

[remote kiln]

no

[elfin void]

damn really

[remote kiln]

console is, always has been, and always will be

[elfin void]

always thought PC would be the biggest market for BF

ive only ever had a console for GTAV, been PC before and after that always

[rain violet]

They were at the start but it isn't too surprising when you think about it. PC having limitless backwards compatibility, and consoles typically attract a much more casual crowd.

[elfin void]

aye

[remote kiln]

according to EA financials around 60-70% of their online users are on console, it's a few years old but there's no reason to think much has changed

[pine roost]

About what I expected

[alpine verge]

S on a different note to make sure Im not crazy, but seems that if firing up vs firing down changes how far you have to offset your crosshairs. It that what actully happens or am I like imagining it

[remote kiln]

what do you mean?

[elfin void]

shooting from elevation im guessing

[remote kiln]

you mean the cross hair shake?

[alpine verge]

no like if you shoot up at a tower, vs down from a tower at the same distance, does how far you have to offset your crosshairs change

[remote kiln]

oh, yes

the vertical distance is higher so you have to account for that on the axis

[elfin void]

i dont have a lot of gametime with snipers in 2042

even less with LMGs

I think i have like 24 LMG kills in total

[alpine verge]

so shooting down you'd be closer to the center of the crosshairs, and shooting up youd have to be further

[remote kiln]

yup

[alpine verge]

gotcha, I thought so, but never saw it spelled out so wanted to check

[remote kiln]

because the target is well, higher, shooting from the cross hair means the bullet drop is expecting a flat plane (them to be level), essentially it's the same as w/ no offset (since the total distance changes, you need to account for it)

[rain violet]

Yeah it's just weird inherent behavior of parabolic arcs, time to be affected by gravity, and geometry.

[alpine verge]

I was kinda liking the hardcore modes since I could just sit 500+ away and not have to worry about headshots

[elfin void]

exact reason i dislike HC haha

dumb snipers sitting in base shooting me in my little toe

no thx

[remote kiln]

it's also the reverse that if you're shooting from height onto a target vertically below you need to invert the distance etc

[alpine verge]

I mean, I feel like youd be out of the fight IRL if something like that happened. Not to say it isn't annoying but more realistic. Like it doesn't suck to hit someone in the chest with a sniper rifle in normals and have them run off just fine

[elfin void]

thats why i dont compare game to irl :D

[rain violet]

Nah, just means I need to aim for the head.

[elfin void]

irl a 1tap to the head with a 5.56 means death

shotguns also have more range than in games

[alpine verge]

Kinda hard to do when actually sniping, unless you're withing 400 range

[elfin void]

but you need it for balance

[rain violet]

That's the point, hitting a difficult shot should be rewarding.

[elfin void]

shame those players spend minutes lining it up after missing 189 shots

[rain violet]

If a game just hands you everything on a silver platter without having to work for it, it's just boring.

[elfin void]

when they couldve been PTFO'ing

:)

[rain violet]

Also yeah sniping out past 200m means you're putting yourself into a bad location.

[alpine verge]

I think everyone running around like theyre on crack is enough difficulty that if I connect to them at all they should be out

[elfin void]

u can still play support roles

[alpine verge]

I like sniping

[pine roost]

You can also snipe closer

[elfin void]

DMR

[pine roost]

Be like a Kraber user in Titanfall, be the movement sniper

Embrace it

[elfin void]

im not tryna say youre a bad player or w/e but sniping usually doesnt help the team

[rain violet]

And if you like sniping then you're actually hurting your progress on developing sniping skills by doing it on hardcore.

[alpine verge]

I mean I've had some matches with the most kills. not to say that happens a lot, but having a different angle than ground zero I feel can be helpful against a dug in group

[pine roost]

I can understand liking the aesthetic, but to me it’s just boring as hell

[elfin void]

same

just like laying down with an LMG

bruh

😴

[pine roost]

No risk, barely a reward

[alpine verge]

Unless it's a snipe off, snipers playing their own minigame

[elfin void]

now imagine if snipers werent a thing

all those players would be PTFO'ing

[pine roost]

On hardcore it’s even less of a minigame, just one uses movement and clicks the other

[alpine verge]

what?

[alpine verge]

and what?

[elfin void]

im saying most snipers dont ptfo

[alpine verge]

ptfo?

[elfin void]

play the f'ing objective

[pine roost]

I do love myself some sniping, as I always work within 70m and have a blast with the 6x, but can also imagine no snipers making it a wildly different experience

Been playing some bf1 and I can see just how used scouts and bipoded supports are, cutting out the scouts would be fun

[elfin void]

getting itchy just reading this haha

[alpine verge]

Ah, yeah I guess. I suppose I can get into that sometimes. IMO kinda depends what perch you can get. Sometimes a good angle can help distupt the enemy or stop reinforcements or stop their snipers

[elfin void]

imo theres more enjoyment in activating an MCOM or capping a flag than getting a 300m headshot

[alpine verge]

Example being last weeks mode, the map with the like dried up ocean and cargo ships and containers all over the place, forget the name. If defending Id run to the 2nd to last section and get on tall crane platforms and get s good angle to take out the enemy that the front assault wouldnt be able to see or hit

[pine roost]

I just can’t jive with that playstyle

[elfin void]

Discared maybe

[pine roost]

I’m not making any decisions, I’m just playing duck hunt while standing still

[alpine verge]

Run up, press "activate", accept enjoyment. :/

[elfin void]

thers a bit more than doing above

u have to defend it too

[rain violet]

Tracking someone up close gives more dopamine than hitting a dome from long ranges on a sniper by a mile.

[elfin void]

i guess what i meant is being more involved in the outcome of the match

[elfin void]

imo for sure

clearing an entire flag in conquest solo or w/ squad is pog

or killing 3 enemies around a downed squad mate

[alpine verge]

I mean, if you don't like sniping, you don't like sniping. But don't think you can say it objectives sucks compared to running it down the middle at the flag

[elfin void]

and then reviving them

its not so much regarding sniping

its more contributing to the team

[alpine verge]

Do helicopters contribute to the team, when theyre available?

[elfin void]

if theres a competent pilot, sure

[pine roost]

Yes

[elfin void]

either a spawn point or keeping enemies suppressed

[pine roost]

And I like sniping, just not that sniping

[rain violet]

Yeah, most heli players are usually clearing tons of kills which makes space

Agreed, I like sniping when you're talking 0-100m

[alpine verge]

Maybe I've neevr played with good pilots, or I don't know how to actually utilize the gunners in a helo.

[elfin void]

we're not attacking you either 9tt2, if you wanna play a certain way all the power to you

[alpine verge]

my most hated sniping

[elfin void]

but perhaps try a more close quarters playstyle sometimes

more fun than you think!

[pine roost]

The best feeling is when someone taps you in the back but doesn’t kill and you land that 180 correction flick with said sniper

[rain violet]

Because it's legitimately challenging, if you really love sniping you should challenge yourself and you'll grow because of it.

[pine roost]

Divine

[alpine verge]

Whats the map with the like greenhouse dome? I still run my sniper config in that map, but normally try to sneak past enemy lines to get a foothold

[sturdy socket]

sniping with dmr's and sniper rifles are both equally fun in their own ways

[elfin void]

greenhouse dome huh

[sturdy socket]

though i gotta say these days im a fan of the bsv-m

[elfin void]

any other landmarks

[alpine verge]

It's challenging because that objectively is ineffective.

[elfin void]

renewal maybe?

[alpine verge]

its entirely indoors

[elfin void]

oh

[pine roost]

Redacted

[elfin void]

redacted?

[alpine verge]

cant even spawn a ranger

[elfin void]

yeah thats a meatgrinder map

[alpine verge]

its got the tight
chokepoint doorways on the sides

[elfin void]

i hate those :D

[sturdy socket]

meatgrinder maps are great for sniping imo

[elfin void]

its like Metro and Op. Locker

[sturdy socket]

i always equip a 2x and pick off stragglers peeking in the middle

nobody expect sit

[pine roost]

This has been my experience with hardcore sniping, it just isn’t particularly fun #battlefield-2042 message

[elfin void]

damn you hit him in the upper leg and he died

what a weakling

[alpine verge]

I throw 2 smokes at the chokepoints and try to get behind the enemy, drop a spawn point and try to disrupt them from behind

[pine roost]

Skipped leg day

[elfin void]

placing a beacon goes a long way in being a teamplayer

as long as it is a smart beacon

dont place it for you but for your squad

i usually play Paik with AK5C, smoke nades, TUGS

[alpine verge]

Depends, if its a really good sniper perch, it's for me. If im playing spy behind enemy lines, then its to get backup

[pearl belfry]

Heli and jet controls on Xbox be so whonky..

[elfin void]

are they?

[pearl belfry]

The joystick movements get me

Pull down plane goes up pull up plan goes down

[rain violet]

It isn't though? A headshot with a sniper is a one shot kill at any range, so using a sniper up close is just more difficult.

[pearl belfry]

Plane*

[pine roost]

I love it when the only spawns are 200m out

[pearl belfry]

Love the snipers

[elfin void]

you should be able to invert controls

[pearl belfry]

I had to mess with 20+ settings just to get it right

[elfin void]

theres an invert option somewhere, that should help

[pearl belfry]

Bruh

[elfin void]

but for me stick down means pull up

[alpine verge]

Well I guess depends if you have aim assist, but seems always that a smg can hit fire kill you before you can even aim

so I don't see the point in trying

[rain violet]

Nah, I'm M&K

[pearl belfry]

I want stick down, plane goes down, stick up plane goes up

[pine roost]

That’s because you’re in hardcore

[alpine verge]

no that was my normals experience talking

[elfin void]

yeah so you invert controls

and its fixed

[pine roost]

Play on normal and you can fairly consistently get a headshot on them before they kill you

[pearl belfry]

I’ll look for it

[elfin void]

or change it so its opposite of what youre using now

[alpine verge]

what scope?

[elfin void]

6x

[pearl belfry]

Favorite map?

[alpine verge]

I normally run DXR-1 shipe also might not be ideal for close quarters

[pearl belfry]

DXR-1 is more long range

[elfin void]

good question actually

idk what my fave map is

[pearl belfry]

Whatever has tall buildings and I can snipe from 🤷

[elfin void]

spearhead maybe or otherwise stranded

[rain violet]

You can quick scope the DXR all the same as the others, you just don't get as high of a fire rate and miss out on the bullet velocity being close.

[pearl belfry]

Love stranger

Stranded

[pine roost]

It’s good for most #battlefield-2042 message

[elfin void]

idk why people play boris

such a mid class

[pine roost]

Wish we could still post videos :(

[elfin void]

i thought nitro boosters could

[alpine verge]

I mean If im at our front line more or less since theres not a good sniper perch, I will snip from behind cover. I just prefer long range I guess. If my team can seem to push well, they I may go to the front and try to figure out whats going wrong

[rain violet]

AI turret for the AI

[elfin void]

lmao

[pine roost]

Just so boring

[elfin void]

i play Zain as assault and Paik as recon

thats all

zain is so good

rooting out campers

[pine roost]

Ironically for the same reason as this whole sniper discussion

[elfin void]

and paik is great for rush etc

[pine roost]

You pop the thing down and just use it for free info or maybe get a kill

Like, there’s just no dynamic there

[alpine verge]

That range Im fine with, but I do it from specific points with cover. I don't like to run around like you are

[rain violet]

If I'm not moving at 300mph from a MacKay grapple hop I'm not breathing.

Which is to say I'm suffocating because DICE keeps nerfing the grapple only for movement purposes but keeps the stupid rat spot nonsense it creates.

[pine roost]

Honestly gotta refrain myself from picking him as he feels too cheap at times

[alpine verge]

I guess maybe I thought 100m was closer than that

[elfin void]

is it cheaper than camping in a bush or dark corner?

[alpine verge]

Also, I like long range cuz Im unlikely to get flacked. I HATE getting shot in the back

[pine roost]

Not as much. It’s just a case of sometimes the kills it grants you just don’t feel fair lmao

[elfin void]

yeah i get what u mean

but the ability gets hard countered by the trophy system

idr what its called

[pine roost]

Like if you’re in a fight and someone runs upstairs, just locking the roof and killing him feels like I’ve skipped the confrontation

[alpine verge]

like waiting for the enemy to forget about the ranger you had dropped? after he kills yuou

[elfin void]

wait you use the drop in system?

forgot that even existed :D

[alpine verge]

Only when I remember

anyone ever drop a tank and then a teammate takes iit

[pine roost]

Not quite but similar. Ranger is just drop in and forget to gain very minimal, passive value. That stuff is just dull

[elfin void]

ranger is just a bullet magnet

it dont do much

[alpine verge]

If im close sniping form above sometimes it distracts people long enough for me to snipe them, but yeah kinda short lived

[rain violet]

Can't even pet the robo doggo

[elfin void]

ill just pet my irl doggo

[pine roost]

It does exist

[alpine verge]

try civ6

[pine roost]

You can, I’ve seen the animation

[rain violet]

I mean the enemy ones, they aren't friendly at all.

[elfin void]

anyway good chat fellas, have a good night 🫂

[pine roost]

Might have been for some April fools thing but they did add that to friendly ones

[alpine verge]

are rangers better than the boris turret since they have more health?

and can move

[rain violet]

Sway an enemy ranger with a head pat and some Kibbles & Bytes

[pine roost]

Imagine it being late at night

I say while it is currently 2am and I need to be up in 4 hours

[elfin void]

3:18 for me haha

[alpine verge]

https://tenor.com/view/homer-simpson-bart-simpson-join-us-sit-here-gif-15631014

[pine roost]

Actual seepy time tho

[alpine verge]

are the "Portal" like custom games big, or are most playing the main screen modes?

[vital scaffold]

anyone ever have trouble with the friends list? It is showing nobody online even though they're online, so I can't join party

[alpine verge]

I just don't have friends so saves me having that trouble

[merry heart]

love it when i join a game that's almost finished and im on the losing side

thanks dice

[limpid pond]

whos tryna play some 2042 na

[willow stratus]

Is it me or has it gotten easier to play

[limpid pond]

its easier because theres less actual god players now

[merry heart]

why is holding down Rao's hacking ability so easy and cheesy lmao

[autumn scroll]

---

Jet gameplay is broken =/

Increasing speed to increase rotation speed changed everything:

-- finding ground targets by yaw left-right becomes harder than it should be (remember? you need to run faster so you don't have time to look around, otherwise you won't be able to chase the target - rotation is too slow)

-- dogfighting becomes "fly to the nearest AA and hope there is an experienced player there", otherwise you fly in circles because there is no "correct speed" to reach maximum rotation speed

-- you can't dodge a collision without increasing speed, what a joke!

-- speed is required for faster rotation, but any movement of the aircraft requires the exchange of speed for dynamics, and since each maneuver reduces speed, it makes the maneuver itself less effective

-- if you want to let the enemy go ahead by reducing speed, the process is too slow for the enemy to be in front of you, he will definitely have time to slow down in the same way, and since maneuverability will decrease, you will not be able to escape, and he will definitely maintain the angle and remain behind you

-- In addition, avoiding the missile has become impossible, it has too much maneuverability and the ability to slow down. Someone wrote that "modern missiles cannot be fooled" - however, modern missiles are not launched from a distance of 100 meters, real jet can reach 1200mph, and countermeasures do not reload for 40 sec. As a result, ground AA are a real imbalance, you must move away (and only away) otherwise you die immediate. Or you can play kamikaze style to exchange jet to the AA...

-- Aircraft radar in BF3 was not an unnecessary thing, it allowed you to see an enemy helicopter and plane on the map, and not all at once, and instead of a useful device, have a square filled with useless information. If something was needed there, it was to indicate a flying missile and the location of ally (evade) and enemy (danger) AA, and not remove it from the game

Any mechanic is broken.

[autumn scroll]

The old BF games has MEDIAN of speed - the plane tries to fly faster or slower than median, but the median gives you rotation speed. So gameplay was to control that median instead of control non-zero afterburner tanks. Changing that changed not only dogfight but aircraft purpose - they're just a flying dummy targets now

As you saw in the movie "Top Gun Maverick", the danger of the SU57 was the ability of the plane to stop instantly in mid-air and then spin as if it were still flying forward. Instead, you build planes exactly as they were designed in WWI or something like that...

And even then WW1 planes fight in ability to take altitude - more armor, more size, more engines, bigger guns. Today its about ability to rotate faster than enemy

[limpid pond]

Yo what the fuck is this dude on about

Get all that outta chat

[arctic grove]

being able to rotate into zone faster?

like a battle royale kinda rotate

[autumn scroll]

zone? royale? what? jet simulators is outside "am a king" brain. it feels more like scateboard driving

[abstract lynx]

Bring back battlefield Vietnam!!!!!!

[arctic grove]

now i dont know if youre being funny or serious, im really confused

i understand your comment like "what, is some jets in the game? where's my extraction shooter" excuse me if there's misunderstanding

i explain how jets work in bf3/bf4, there was a speed value, and the idea was control correct speed to balance between maneuverability and afterburner to dodge missiles. why 2042 has that jets - big question, seems a copy of BF1 or BF5 code

[hasty wolf]

going to say this nicely but i want to play battlefield but ea app is not allowing me to use ds4 to pair with my controller does anyone know a way to play this game with controller with the ea app?

[merry heart]

hi

[frozen loom]

Too many enemies get butthurt over valid kills on them.

[merry heart]

then twerk on them

[frozen loom]

Twerking should be banned from life.

[merry heart]

:gasm3

oh

[merry heart]

you know what would be funny to see in the next BF?

aim punch

[brittle wind]

Issue of portal is lack of creativity, I wanted to make a 4 player vs 32-64 AI dozer map. Kinda like a horde mode. But you can't force AI to use operators or you can't fully disarm them from their weapons and gadgets.

[rocky gust]

lets keep garbage in garbage games

[merry heart]

like counter strike?

[rocky gust]

Yes

[merry heart]

hokie dokie

[rocky gust]

Jokes aside

I dont think BF would really function well with aim punch

[merry heart]

thats why i said it would be funny

the engineer spam in 2042 is nuts

unless you're playing infantry only or are on Redacted, 90% of the teams are engineers

tank play is a friggin nightmare

APS is basically necessary to stay alive

Poundhawk is by far my favorite vehicle

No one ever hops on with me but I fly around doing tricks

[brittle wind]

Sweats farm on low population modes such as infantry rush or frontlines nowadays, or it's easier to match with them due to low population

Btw should I use STE/ST/SS or STE/HP/SS for AR DFR setup? I want to try it

So it's not Karkand?

[nova fog]

When will we get access to battlefield labs ?

[naive ember]

Great place to visit

[brittle wind]

Tomorrow

[ocean pilot]

Maybe, but that is basically anywhere in the Middle East

So many of their streets look identical to that

@BF4NTOM @TechaGek @T0TALfps To make this ultra clear - thats a map I like from BF2

[brittle wind]

I think it's karkand if it's a BF2 map remake

Some people already found the same road in karkand from BF3

[radiant kettle]

i hate sweats

[pearl ridge]

That’s because the vehicles are that fucking annoying.

You think I WANT to spend all my time playing engie

We have a million of them but I’m the only one doing my job

God knows spotting with SOFLAM isn’t doing anything

[quiet arrow]

Yeah vehicles are crazy

[sour meadow]

It's true

Without enough engies the vehicle stomping is crazy

[merry heart]

[merry heart]

Last night I was in a squad full of Lis, so I became Lis too

[elfin void]

yeah thats why I end up playing infantry focused modes

frontlines only adds vehicles at the MCOM stage so its alright

[sour meadow]

2042 vehicle play is fucked

[chilly jacinth]

Usually half my team is engie and they still do fuck all

So there's a massive gap between infantry skill and vehicle players skills

[brittle wind]

I play infantry only modes due to that

[sour meadow]

so we have mostly noob engies that just wanna shoot things with rocket launchers, the skilled infantry players not wanting to play engie 24/7, and vehicle mains exploiting this to farm kills

[elfin void]

Did they change how fast tanks rotate? i drove one yday and dont remember them turning as fast as they did

the tank itself btw, not the turret

[sour meadow]

if you're moving while turning, you turn very slow. if you're idle, you turn really fast

[elfin void]

i was driving and it still did very sharp turns

[sour meadow]

tank play is brutal in 2042. the rocket spam is insane

i see a lot of engies running the javelin too

i know it does more damage but needing a lock on is a huge downside

[chilly jacinth]

It's usually just better to get rockets on target fast instead of higher damage slower

[sour meadow]

yea

i know you can do huge damage when combined with the soflam but no one uses soflams

and when you do feel like running soflams, no one notices the giant yellow diamonds on screen

[autumn scroll]

soflam is broken too

[chilly jacinth]

It only shows when you have a launcher out

[autumn scroll]

main idea of soflam was in that the device is hard to disable and it works without any attention

[chilly jacinth]

which defeats the purpose of it entirely

[autumn scroll]

instead today is a binoculars, that is highlighted to enemy vehicle

one benefit of soflam today - silent 3dspotting

actually dont silent. because you're highlighted

you may try to scare helicopters with this device and thats all

also javelins is evade using too many protections systems
thermal smoke - evade
active protection - evade
cliff or landscape - evade (btw rarely than basic tube, attack from above, but this rocket gets 25 meters altitude instead of 100 and then fly directly to target instead of fall upside down to the roof...)

better to shoot using M5 launcher and then immediate shot using antimaterial sniper rifle same enemy

better if this attack is started with EMP grenade or disruption by nearest RAO/Blasco

antimaterial rifle is good anti-helicopter AA gun btw. immediate. deal 10 damage. almost no miss... have 5 ammo...

[sour meadow]

it seems DICE wanted the combined arms method from all the different specialists to take down vehicles but no one wants to do that so everyone just plays engineers with rocket launchers because that's the best way to fight vehicles as infantry

[autumn scroll]

yes. seems DICE has positive confirmable team, conversion complete

leadership of stupidity is installed succesfully

[sour meadow]

a mod needs to pin this

[autumn scroll]

or ban me. so what have to be happened? let me imagine.... yes, ban him.

king decided.

[sour meadow]

i love google translate

[autumn scroll]

damn new 1500xx ages

"what have to be happened" -> "let me think what will inevitably happen?"

[autumn scroll]

compare roration speed of EBLC-RAM and your garage bicycle and become impressed
then compare AT gun that deal 60 damage to tank until he's shooting 2nd shell
then understand this damn satan has active protection (10 seconds of immortality any time)
then understand it moves any cliffs or hard terrain with 80mph...
then calculate tank barrel vertical angles and compare it with this jeep
tanks still needed?
thats an imba that covers other imba that covers other imba...

there's no way to "battlefield labs" will fix it. Hundreds of hours have to be spent for balance talks, not just support tickets... one that BF Labs do - more subscribers

[subtle harness]

Why are there still only 3 maps for close quarters conquest?

[vocal tusk]

Holy yap

[drifting sierra]

why cant i play i get this : The latest version of ea anticheat is required to play

how do i update it?

pls help

[naive ember]

Should only be 1 map and that's redacted

[chilly jacinth]

google.com

[drifting sierra]

have googled already

[chilly jacinth]

If you did you would've already updated it

[drifting sierra]

I did tho

[rain violet]

To this day I do not understand why Haven is in the close quarters conquest queue.

[chilly jacinth]

because it's 64p only

[rain violet]

Spearhead would be a better choice than Haven.

[opal panther]

peak 2042 was at launch

30 mm cannon on the lav was epic

could snipe with it

they ruined the game tbh

[rain violet]

30mm on LAV was stupid, what are you talking about lol

[drifting sierra]

why cant i play i get this : The latest version of ea anticheat is required to play
how do i update it?
pls help

[opal panther]

2042 was fun because of the incredible the range of engagement 30 mm made it awesome, it was a blast on hazard zone.

[brittle wind]

Use ''repair'' option not update

[drifting sierra]

there is no "repair"

[brittle wind]

Download ea anticheat installer

[rain violet]

Yeah, except that's what a tank is for. LAV is meant to be a transport vehicle.

[subtle harness]

Haven is good too

[naive ember]

Not as good as redacted

S6 there was redacted only

[rain violet]

Haven is awful, and not at all close quarters because the sight lines are massive on every point

[brittle wind]

Haven is full of snipers

[subtle harness]

I like both those. Stadium is pretty trash, but with how many giant maps there are, I don't understand how there arent several more close quarters

[brittle wind]

Noshahr Canals should've been in CQC instead especially the TDM area

[molten sandal]

People still playing 2042?

[brittle wind]

No

[rain violet]

Nose hair canals, my love

[static zenith]

Hell nah

[subtle harness]

I just started playing it in the past 2 months

[elfin void]

Zavod 311

Best map

[static zenith]

Yes 👑

[molten sandal]

😭😭😭

[elfin void]

The night version less fun but still fun

[static zenith]

I bought the game 70€ when it came out, played 2 hours an uninstalled it

70€

[elfin void]

But if every BF7 map is like Zavod I will be happy

I had it on EA Play first, and bought it recently for €9

Great deal!

[static zenith]

Yeah…

Should be free to play

[subtle harness]

I've done this with several games. Slim pickings trying to find a good game anymore

[vocal tusk]

Did you refund it back then?

[static zenith]

I was just hyped by the trailer and preordered the game, i will not do that mistake again

[static zenith]

Nope i was on xbox and did to many refund so i lost my 70€

[vocal tusk]

Lol

[static zenith]

I was 15 years old so i was disgusted

Sorry huh Heaven

[static zenith]

Yeah

Another Feb 25 member

[vocal tusk]

Can't really say people were wrong for hating 2042 at launch tho.

Here's hoping labs helps make the next game great. At the very least it will make key gameplay elements quality clearer before launch.

[static zenith]

Yeah i don’t get it, explain your private joke

[naive ember]

Everyone else does so I don't have to

[static zenith]

Ok uncle

K bud

Hello i just bought the game downloaded it. Started it and the splash screen shows and it wont load and crash. Then ea app shows and nothing. The game is bought on epic.

Can someone help?

[unique swan]

Personally, I've decided not to buy full-price games at all

[naive ember]

Make friends they will buy the games for you

[subtle harness]

That's not a bad plan

[lunar kite]

real

[wispy rampart]

What about good games that don't go on sale at all like factorio?

[brittle wind]

If a game doesn't go on sales they aren't worth buying

[naive ember]

Everyone should always pre order

[brittle wind]

This week's FNB is Frontlines Chaos, we eating good

[warped fractal]

Anyone else been just grinding heavy on 2042 last couple weeks?? So sice about BF

[naive ember]

Yeah full matches 5 am est

[warped fractal]

Blown the Hardcore Breakthrough server is gone

Find someone to game share me and my buddy split the games we buy or we alternate buying the game

[unique swan]

I'm talking more about games that go for70-80€

[elfin void]

How people enjoy HC i will never understand

It encourages camping so much

Probably

Being able to shoot someone literally anywhere on the body with a sniper and get a kill

🥱

[chilly jacinth]

Don't even need a sniper

[elfin void]

I mean yeah, but you'll have 28 ppl on team sat on a ledge

28 glints

The stadium map in CQC Conquest

Their spawn is on 1 side of the stadium seat area

And it's just glints

[tight basin]

hi yall, im having a problem with bf 2042 which i recently bought

can any of you help me please

[elfin void]

What problem

[chilly jacinth]

If it's crashing we can't help

It's unfixable

[tight basin]

even tho my pc mets the requirements to run the game, regardless of the graphic settings i get around 40 to 50 fps with 99% cpu usage

actually the further i drop my graphics settings the lower fps i get

[chilly jacinth]

Your cpu is the bottleneck then
